## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Agent or provider**
Grok Local needs displayed-code login support in the sandbox login
panel.
**Why this adapter is useful**
This change lets users sign in to Grok from the sandbox login panel. It
also gives later Grok runs access to the stored credential.
**How the agent is invoked**
The Grok local adapter uses its login command through the shared
displayed-code login flow. Later runs receive the managed home through
`GROK_HOME`.
**Additional context**
The change uses adapter-scoped login lifecycle handling. It stores the
credential in a company-scoped directory with mode `0700`, and it stores
the credential file with mode `0600`.
## What Changed
- Rename the shared device-login modules to adapter-neutral names.
- Scope the shared login lifecycle to a closed adapter set.
- Return the device-login URL that the provider prints.
- Add the Grok prompt parser, login command, capability, and login panel
entry.
- Store the Grok credential in a private, company-scoped home directory.
- Pass `GROK_HOME` to later Grok runs.
- Add tests for the Grok adapter, the Daytona sandbox provider, the
server login path, and the user interface.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm vitest run
packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/adapter-auth-promotion.test.ts`.
- Run the Grok adapter package suite.
- Run the Daytona sandbox provider suite.
- Run the server device-login suites.
- Run the user interface suite.
- Confirm the full CI suite passes.
## Risks
The change extends shared login lifecycle code to another adapter. A
regression could affect Codex login. The credential path uses explicit
`chmod` calls to keep the directory at mode `0700` and the file at mode
`0600`.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5. The runtime used tool calls and code review
support. 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
> - The server test suites verify agent permissions and route behavior
> - The agent-permissions route suite rebuilt its full module graph for
every test
> - CPU load made that repeated work exceed the test timeout and caused
intermittent failures
> - This pull request loads the route module graph once for the file and
resets each mock before every test
> - The benefit is faster, stable test execution with the same test
coverage and isolation
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
`server/src/__tests__/agent-permissions-routes.test.ts` failed
intermittently in continuous integration. The suite reset modules and
re-imported the route module graph for every test. Under CPU load, one
import took seconds instead of milliseconds and caused an expected
response to become an HTTP 500.
**Expected behavior**
The suite should run all 54 cases without intermittent timeout failures.
Each test should keep isolated mock state.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/agent-permissions-routes.test.ts`.
2. Repeat the file run under high CPU load.
3. Compare the failure rate and run time before and after this change.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`c4d1af4216f174a92823ca3a20e0717c54371dd5`
**Deployment mode**
Built from source.
**Installation method**
Built from source with pnpm.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific. This change affects a server test suite.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
## What Changed
- Load the route module graph one time for the describe block with the
existing `hoistModuleGraph` helper.
- Make `createApp` synchronous and read the hoisted graph.
- Remove per-test `vi.resetModules()` and the 26 `vi.doUnmock(...)`
calls.
- Keep stable mock objects and reset each route-facing mock before every
test.
- Keep all 44 `it` blocks and 54 parameterized cases.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/agent-permissions-routes.test.ts`
passes and reports 54 tests.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` passes with 0 errors.
- Under 32 concurrent CPU-bound loops, the file passed 15 of 15 runs
after this change, with 54 of 54 cases on each run.
- The same test failed 1 of 15 runs before this change.
- Per-run wall-clock time changed from about 29–34 seconds to about 8–10
seconds.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change affects test setup only.
- The hoisted mock objects keep stable identity, and `beforeEach` resets
every route-facing mock.
- The registration step arms no mock implementations, and the test
adapter still unregisters in a `finally` block.
## 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
> - The server tests cover issue routes and execution workspace state
> - The closed-workspace route suite reloads a mocked module graph
before each test
> - CPU contention can bind one test to the real service and hide a 500
response
> - This pull request loads the mocked graph once and checks exact
success statuses
> - The benefit is a stable suite that detects route failures instead of
accepting them
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The closed-workspace issue route suite reloaded and unmocked the module
graph before each test. Under CPU contention, a route could bind to the
real execution-workspaces service. The request then returned `500`,
while a weak assertion accepted the result.
**Expected behavior**
The suite must use the configured service mocks for every test. Each
success case must assert its exact expected HTTP status.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the closed-workspace route suite many times in parallel.
2. Use CPU contention during the run.
3. Observe intermittent failures or weak assertions that accept `500`
responses.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit `0d5686b942f1d1366112cb922f95e5c8622bb9a6`.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with the server test runner.
**Installation method**
Built from source.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Additional context**
This pull request relates to
[#11472](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/11472). It does
not change product code.
## What Changed
- Load the mocked service graph once per file with `hoistModuleGraph`.
- Remove the per-test module reset and unmock cycle.
- Assert exact success statuses for the three affected responses.
- Add the missing `refreshReopenPendingConsumption` mock.
- Use one named timeout constant for every `vi.waitFor` call.
- Replace `setImmediate` barriers with fake-timer advances.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/issue-closed-workspace-routes.test.ts` passes 12 of
12 tests locally.
- A 200-sample sweep with 20 parallel copies passed with zero failures.
- An independent 100-sample sweep with 20 parallel copies passed with
zero failures.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server` reports the same 61 pre-existing errors
with and without this change.
- GitHub Actions must run the full server suite for final verification.
## Risks
Low risk. This pull request changes one test file and does not change
product code. The stricter assertions can expose a real route failure
that the old suite hid.
## Model Used
Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code review assistance. The exact context
window and reasoning mode are not available in this handoff.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The adapter layer carries sandbox requests to host processes.
> - The HTTP/2 bridge used one process-wide byte ledger for all routes.
> - One busy route could exhaust that shared budget and move another

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The HTTP/2 bridge used one aggregate byte ledger for retained bytes
across all routes. A busy route could exhaust the shared budget and
force an unrelated route to use file transport.
**Expected behavior**
Each route should protect its own retained bytes. A reset on one HTTP/2
stream should cancel only that stream's host forward.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start the HTTP/2 bridge with multiple sandbox routes.
2. Send enough retained data through one route to reach the aggregate
byte limit.
3. Send a request through a sibling route.
4. Observe that the sibling route can fall back to file transport
because the first route used the shared ledger.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`47639e227e78e3c5e0dd1a3c0e2d792fe86895a3`
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with the adapter-utils and server test suites.
## What Changed
- Bound each host retention site with a fixed local byte limit.
- Limited concurrent live HTTP/2 streams with one built-in stream limit.
- Bound each host forward and response-body read to its own HTTP/2
stream lifetime.
- Removed the process-wide byte ledger, its environment override, its
metrics, and its file-transport fallbacks.
- Added tests for the stream limit, host body budget, and sibling-stream
cancellation.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm vitest run --project adapter-utils`.
- Confirm that 996 adapter-utils tests pass.
- Confirm that `test_live_forward_work_never_passes_the_stream_limit`
passes.
- Confirm that `test_the_host_body_budget_matches_the_stream_limit`
passes.
- Confirm that the sibling-stream cancellation test passes.
- Run `pnpm tsc --noEmit`.
- Confirm that all pull request checks pass.
## Risks
The bridge no longer uses a process-wide byte ledger. A local bound or
stream limit that is too low can reject or delay valid work. The tests
cover the new limits and stream cancellation behavior.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 Codex. Runtime model ID: GPT-5. The model used code
execution and repository tools. The runtime does not expose the context
window size.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Pull request checks protect the runtime and authorization boundaries
> - The same checks must produce the same result on GitHub and RunsOn
Ubuntu images
> - One runtime test assumed that a shell PID always owns the listening
socket
> - One watchdog test denied issue reads while it tried to test
assignment denial
> - These assumptions caused image-sensitive failures during the AWS
runner canary
> - This pull request tests the production contracts directly
> - The benefit is a reliable CI result across both runner images
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12350
## What Changed
- Verify stale service ownership through the existing process-group
ownership helper.
- Allow normal issue reads in the watchdog reassignment fixture.
- Assert that the watchdog reassignment reaches and denies the
`tasks:assign` guard.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts
-t "does not reuse a stopped auto-port service port while another
process owns it"`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts -t
"still enforces normal assignment guards for watchdog reassignment"`
- Ran the complete issue agent mutation ownership suite six times. All
522 test executions passed.
- Ran the runtime regression case eight times. All eight test executions
passed.
## Risks
- Low risk. This pull request changes test fixtures and assertions only.
- The process-group assertion matches the ownership rule that the
runtime already uses.
- The watchdog fixture still denies `issue:mutate` and `tasks:assign`.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex with GPT-5.6 (`gpt-5.6-sol`). The model used reasoning,
tool use, and code execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - New organizations create their first agent through the onboarding
wizard
> - The wizard does not show provider sign-in when a host credential is
absent or unknown
> - The create step also gives unclear feedback when the provider needs
authentication
> - This pull request adds a safe auth signal and a provider sign-in
step for sandbox drivers
> - The benefit is a clearer onboarding path with no token or account
data in the signal
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (server API, shared types, and UI)
**Problem or motivation**
The onboarding wizard can fail when the selected provider needs
authentication. It does not tell the person how to complete sign-in.
**Proposed solution**
Add a status-only provider auth signal. Show the sign-in panel for
sandbox drivers when the signal says `absent` or `unknown`. Apply a
stored Claude login to the new agent and block creation when the adapter
test reports missing authentication.
**Alternatives considered**
The wizard could hide the sign-in panel when the signal read fails. This
would hide a needed action, so this pull request shows the panel when
the signal is unknown.
**Roadmap alignment**
The change supports the roadmap goal for scoped and audited credential
bindings.
**Additional context**
The auth signal returns only `present`, `absent`, or `unknown`. It never
returns a token, identifier, or account name.
## What Changed
- Add `GET /api/companies/:companyId/adapters/:type/auth-signal` with
company and permission checks.
- Add shared auth-signal types and the UI query path.
- Apply a stored Claude login by reference without reading its token.
- Show the provider sign-in panel only for sandbox drivers with
interactive terminal support.
- Block agent creation when the provider test reports missing
authentication.
- Add route, wizard, and end-to-end test coverage.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server test adapter-auth-signal-routes`
passes 50 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui test OnboardingWizard` passes 69 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec tsc --noEmit` exits with code 0.
- The `e2e_shards` lane runs `tests/e2e/onboarding.spec.ts`.
## Risks
The route reads a host-local readiness signal. It returns `unknown` on
read errors and never exposes credential data. The UI may add a sign-in
step when the signal is unavailable.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, extended reasoning, tool use, and code execution.
The exact context window was not provided.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The company-skill test-run authorization tests failed intermittently in
continuous integration. One test returned HTTP 500 instead of HTTP 403.
**Expected behavior**
Each unauthorized request must return HTTP 403. The test file must keep
all 53 tests and skip none.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-routes.test.ts` before this change.
2. Repeat the run in continuous integration.
3. Observe the intermittent HTTP 500 result in an authorization case.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit `651d26a96f6e24811d336759d3e67ff3abb5ec29`.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source. Continuous integration runs the test suite.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific. This issue affects server test module setup.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
## What Changed
- Load the mocked route module graph once for each describe block.
- Use the existing `hoistModuleGraph` helper, as the cost service test
does.
- Remove twelve per-test `vi.doUnmock` calls and the redundant module
rebuild.
- Keep the change in
`server/src/__tests__/company-skills-routes.test.ts` only.
## Verification
- Run `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-routes.test.ts`.
- Confirm that 53 tests pass and 0 tests skip.
- Confirm that the diff changes only
`server/src/__tests__/company-skills-routes.test.ts`.
- Confirm that all Paperclip continuous integration checks pass.
## Risks
Low risk. The change affects test setup only. It does not change
production code, route behavior, or assertions.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 (Codex), exact model ID `gpt-5`, tool use and code
execution enabled. The runtime does not expose the context window size.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A self-hosted install in `authenticated` mode signs users in with
Better Auth, mounted at `/api/auth` over a hand-written Drizzle
`account` table in `packages/db`
> - Better Auth 1.7.0 added a required `issuer` field to that `account`
model, plus a unique index on `(issuer, accountId)`
> - The dependency bump in #11886 changed only `server/package.json` and
the lockfile, so the Drizzle table never grew the column
> - The Drizzle adapter checks the model against the schema on every
write, so `linkAccount` throws and sign-up answers 500 with an empty
body; a fresh install cannot create its first user, and an upgraded
install locks out every existing user
> - This pull request adds the `issuer` column and its unique index, and
migrates the column in with a backfill that covers every existing row
> - The benefit is that sign-up and sign-in work again, on a new install
and after an upgrade
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue. Describing it inline, following
`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml`.
Refs #11886 (the dependency bump that introduced the required field).
Refs #12269 (an earlier attempt at this fix; its backfill covers only
`provider_id = 'credential'`).
**What happened?**
Sign-up fails on a self-hosted install. `POST /api/auth/sign-up/email`
answers HTTP 500 with a zero-byte body. The server log carries:
```
[Better Auth]: The field "issuer" does not exist in the "account" Drizzle schema.
# SERVER_ERROR: [BetterAuthError: The field "issuer" does not exist in the "account" Drizzle schema.]
```
The request writes the `user` row and then fails on the `account` row.
The address is stuck after that: a second sign-up answers 422
`USER_ALREADY_EXISTS`, sign-in answers 401, and password reset answers
400 `RESET_PASSWORD_DISABLED` because the account that would hold the
password does not exist.
An upgraded install is worse. `sign-in/email` matches the credential
account on `account.issuer === 'local:credential'`. Rows written before
the upgrade have no issuer, so every existing user is locked out.
**Expected behavior**
`POST /api/auth/sign-up/email` answers 2xx and writes both the `user`
row and its credential `account` row. `POST /api/auth/sign-in/email`
then answers 2xx and sets a session cookie. An install that upgrades
keeps its existing users.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a server from `master` with
`PAPERCLIP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE=authenticated` against an empty database.
2. `curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:<port>/api/auth/sign-up/email -H
'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Origin: http://127.0.0.1:<port>'
--data
'{"name":"A","email":"a@example.com","password":"a-long-password"}'`
3. The response is HTTP 500 with an empty body.

`master` at 4436cf0. The defect starts at 69e8585 (#11886), which moved
Better Auth from 1.6.28 to 1.7.0.
**Deployment mode**
`authenticated`. `local_trusted` does not sign users in, so it is not
affected. Hosted tenants are not affected either: that path resolves the
actor from a trusted header and never reads `account`.
**Database mode**
Both. Embedded PostgreSQL and external PostgreSQL use the same Drizzle
schema.
**Relevant logs or output**
Reproduced in a test by reverting the schema change:
```
stderr | better-auth-credential-signup.integration.test.ts
[Better Auth]: The field "issuer" does not exist in the "account" Drizzle schema.
AssertionError: expected 500 to be 200
```
## What Changed
- `packages/db/src/schema/auth.ts`: adds `issuer` (text, NOT NULL) to
`authAccounts`, and the `(issuer, account_id)` unique index that mirrors
the index Better Auth declares on the model. The field name, type,
requiredness, and index all come from
`@better-auth/core/dist/db/get-tables.mjs` in 1.7.0.
- `packages/db/src/migrations/0230_better_auth_account_issuer.sql`: adds
the column, backfills every existing row, sets NOT NULL, and creates the
unique index.
- `packages/db/src/migrations/meta/0230_snapshot.json` and
`_journal.json`: regenerated with `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db
generate`.
- `packages/db/src/better-auth-account-issuer-migration.test.ts`: new.
Asserts the schema shape, then rewinds the migration on a real database,
seeds pre-upgrade rows, and re-applies it.
-
`server/src/__tests__/better-auth-credential-signup.integration.test.ts`:
new. Real sign-up and sign-in through the Better Auth mount, against the
real Drizzle schema and a migrated PostgreSQL.
- `cli/src/__tests__/worktree.test.ts`: the worktree seed fixture writes
a credential `account` row, so it now writes `issuer` too.
`server/package.json` and `pnpm-lock.yaml` are untouched. The dependency
is correct; the schema was what was missing.
### The issuer values, and where they come from
Better Auth builds these itself, in
`@better-auth/core/src/db/schema/account.ts`:
```ts
export function createLocalAccountIssuer(providerId: string): string {
return `local:${encodeURIComponent(providerId)}`;
}
export function createOAuthAccountIssuer(providerId: string): string {
return `local:oauth:${encodeURIComponent(providerId)}`;
}
```
Sign-up and sign-in both call `createLocalAccountIssuer("credential")`,
so a credential account is `local:credential`. An OAuth account whose
provider declares no `accountIssuer` of its own is
`local:oauth:<providerId>` — no built-in social provider declares one.
The migration writes exactly those two forms:
```sql
ALTER TABLE "account" ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS "issuer" text;
UPDATE "account"
SET "issuer" = CASE
WHEN "provider_id" = 'credential' THEN 'local:credential'
ELSE 'local:oauth:' || "provider_id"
END
WHERE "issuer" IS NULL;
ALTER TABLE "account" ALTER COLUMN "issuer" SET NOT NULL;
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS "account_issuer_account_id_uq" ON "account" USING btree ("issuer","account_id");
```
Two limits are worth stating plainly. The OAuth branch reproduces
`createOAuthAccountIssuer` for provider ids that need no
percent-encoding, which covers every built-in provider id; a provider id
with a character `encodeURIComponent` would escape would get a slightly
different string. And a generic-OAuth provider that sets `accountIssuer`
explicitly (Okta, Auth0, Keycloak, Slack, Line) uses the real issuer
URL, which this migration cannot know. Neither case can arise on
Paperclip today: `createBetterAuthInstance` configures
`emailAndPassword` only and registers no social or generic-OAuth
provider, so every existing row is a credential row. The OAuth branch is
there so the backfill stays total rather than leaving a NULL that aborts
`SET NOT NULL`.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations` — passes.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` — passes.
- `packages/db` suite: 30 files, 107 tests, all pass.
- `npx tsc --noEmit` in `server/` — no error in any changed file. (The
wrapped `pnpm typecheck` builds the runner vendor first, which needs
cargo; that toolchain was not available here, so the pre-existing
"cannot find module" errors from the unbuilt workspace packages remain
in the bare run.)
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/run-vitest-stable-shard.test.mjs` —
passes with the new server suite in the file list.
- The two new tests were confirmed to fail without the fix:
- Reverting `packages/db/src/schema/auth.ts` to its `master` content
makes the server test fail with the reported error and `expected 500 to
be 200`.
- Narrowing the backfill to `WHERE "issuer" IS NULL AND "provider_id" =
'credential'` makes the migration test fail with `column "issuer" of
relation "account" contains null values` — the failure mode of #12269.
- End to end against a server built from this branch, started with
`PAPERCLIP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE=authenticated` on embedded PostgreSQL:
- `POST /api/auth/sign-up/email` → 200 with a user and token.
- `POST /api/auth/sign-in/email` → 200 with a session cookie.
- `GET /api/auth/get-session` → 200 with the session.
- The stored row is `issuer = 'local:credential'`, `provider_id =
'credential'`, `account_id = user_id`, and `pg_indexes` lists
`account_issuer_account_id_uq`.
- `scripts/docker-onboard-smoke.sh` was not used as proof: it installs
`paperclipai` from npm inside the container, so it exercises a published
release rather than this branch.
## Risks
- **Migration.** The migration backfills every existing row before `SET
NOT NULL`, so an install that upgrades keeps working and its users keep
signing in. `account` is one row per user per provider, so the
full-table `UPDATE` and the index build are cheap;
`packages/db/src/table-size-estimates.ts` already classes `account` as
small, and `check:migrations` passes with no new safety finding.
- **New unique index.** `(issuer, account_id)` is the key Better Auth
resolves accounts by, so a duplicate would already be a defect. Better
Auth writes one credential account per user keyed on the user id, so the
pair is unique by construction. An install that somehow holds a
duplicate would fail the index build rather than corrupt anything, and
the migration is a single transaction.
- **Orphaned users are not repaired.** An address that hit the broken
window has a `user` row and no `account` row. This migration does not
delete or repair those rows, so that address stays unusable after the
upgrade: sign-up says the user exists, and there is no credential
account to sign in as or reset. Only installs that ran a build
containing #11886 are affected, and the repair — deleting the orphaned
`user` rows — is a judgment call about live data that does not belong in
an automatic migration.
- **Not a behavior change anywhere else.** Only the `account` table
changes. Hosted tenants resolve their actor from a trusted header and
never read it.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip supports opt-in Sentry error monitoring for server and
browser errors.
> - The hosted image must include the server package when an operator
sets SENTRY_DSN.
> - The server package is an optional peer in the source tree, so the
image did not include it.
> - This pull request installs the declared server package in the hosted
image and checks the result.
> - The benefit is a hosted tenant can send server errors without a
manual package install.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists for this change.
**What happened?**
The hosted image did not include the declared @sentry/node server
package. A hosted tenant could set SENTRY_DSN, but the server could not
load the package from the image.
**Expected behavior**
The hosted image must include the exact @sentry/node version from
server/package.json. The self-hosted image must remain without this
optional package.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Build or pull the hosted image.
2. Resolve @sentry/node from the server package path.
3. Compare its version with server/package.json.
4. Confirm that the tsx loader path still resolves.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit b6ff556a33ebdbe764b7f495951cd59009776608.
**Deployment mode**
Docker hosted image.
## What Changed
- Add a cloud-server-deps Docker stage that installs the declared
@sentry/node version in isolation.
- Copy the isolated package into the cloud image without changing the
production image.
- Add a probe that checks the tsx loader and the resolved Sentry
version.
- Run the probe after the hosted image push in the Docker workflow.
- Add server tests and update the observability documentation.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/cloud-image-sentry.test.ts`.
- Confirm that the changed test passes in CI.
- Confirm that all pull request checks pass.
- Note that the Docker workflow does not run for pull requests. It runs
after a push to master, for configured tags, or after manual dispatch.
## Risks
- Low risk. The production image body stays unchanged.
- The cloud image adds the declared Sentry package and a small
dependency tree.
- The workflow probe fails if the image loses the tsx loader or resolves
a different Sentry version.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server test suite checks budget and cost routes
> - The costs-service test rebuilt the full route module graph before
every test
> - Synchronous graph rebuilds caused long stalls under CPU load
> - This pull request loads the mocked graph once for each describe
block and keeps per-test mock setup
> - The benefit is a stable 17-test file without production code changes
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The costs-service route test rebuilt its full mocked module graph before
every test. Under CPU load, a rebuild sometimes stalled a test past the
15-second timeout.
**Expected behavior**
The test file should load its mocked route graph once for each describe
block while each test keeps isolated mock behavior.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the costs-service route test under synthetic CPU load.
2. Repeat the file test 30 times.
3. Observe intermittent test timeouts before this change.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The test used the current master branch at the time of this change.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source.
## What Changed
- Add `hoistModuleGraph` to load the mocked route graph once for each
describe block.
- Keep per-test mock setup in `beforeEach` so test isolation stays
unchanged.
- Keep all 17 tests and their assertions.
- Remove the module graph rebuild from the per-test path.
## Verification
- Run `npx vitest run src/__tests__/costs-service.test.ts` from
`server/`.
- Confirm that the file reports 17 tests and zero skipped tests.
- Confirm that 30 runs under the same synthetic CPU load report 0.0%
failure after the change, compared with 10.0% before the change.
- Confirm that mutation checks still fail when each authorization guard
is broken.
## Risks
This change affects test setup only. The main risk is weaker test
isolation if a mock keeps state between tests. Each test still re-arms
its mock behavior in `beforeEach`, and the full assertion set remains.
> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and

core feature.

## Thinking Path

work

still held connections

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs: #10869
**What happened?**
An embedded PostgreSQL test fixture stopped its cluster while database
clients still held open connections. The postgres.js driver then
scheduled a deferred write on a dead connection. The write caused an
unhandled error after the test shard reported success.
**Expected behavior**
The fixture closes all live clients for its cluster before it stops the
embedded PostgreSQL cluster. Tests then finish without a deferred write
on a dead connection.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the database regression test with the embedded PostgreSQL
fixture.
2. Stop the fixture while its database client still has an open
connection.
3. Observe the deferred write and the process exit status.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Branch base: bdd8f1bed. Change head:
93e85d2ba1.
**Deployment mode**
Local dev with the embedded PostgreSQL test fixture.
**Installation method**
Built from source with pnpm.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific. This change covers database test infrastructure.
**Database mode**
Embedded PGlite.
**Additional context**
The change keeps client references weak and keys them by host and port.
It does not retain credentials. It also handles connection URLs that the
driver accepts when the URL parser rejects them.
## What Changed
- Add a registry for live database clients in the database package.
- Close registered clients before the embedded PostgreSQL fixture stops
its cluster.
- Add a regression test for the teardown race.
- Handle driver-compatible URLs that the standard URL parser rejects.
- Add cleanup for the shared route test harness.
## Verification
- Run the full `packages/db` suite.
- Run `tsc --noEmit` in `packages/db`.
- Run the server suite that uses `route-test-harness.ts`.
- Run the teardown regression test five times.
- Confirm that the negative control fails three times.
- Confirm that no shard reports green tests and exits with an error.
## Risks
The registry changes client cleanup for embedded test fixtures. Weak
references limit retained memory in long-lived processes. The registry
uses host and port only, so it does not retain credentials. No
migration, schema, API, telemetry, authentication, or cryptography
change exists.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code review support, standard
reasoning mode. The implementing engineer supplied the code and
verification results.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server test suite checks question response delivery and wake
claims
> - One test used wall-clock time and could start a second delivery
under load
> - The second delivery reused one promise resolver and could hang for
15 seconds
> - This pull request uses the injected clock and one resolver for each
wakeup
> - The benefit is a deterministic test that fails at once if a second
wakeup occurs
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The wake-claim lease test slept for 70 milliseconds before it ran the
pending sweep. Under load, the lease could look stale during that
interval. The sweep then started a second delivery. The second delivery
reused one promise resolver, so the test hung until the 15-second suite
timeout.
**Expected behavior**
The test must control the time used by the service. One wakeup must use
one resolver. An unexpected second wakeup must fail at once.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the question response delivery test under CPU load.
2. Let the test sleep before the pending sweep.
3. Observe that a second delivery can start and the test can reach the
15-second timeout.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit `0dd735e53a5cc9f6d3395834b826dfb0b1da2ea9`.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with the server test suite.
**Installation method**
Built from source.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core test issue).
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Additional context**
The change affects one test file. It does not change production source
code.
## What Changed
- Drive the test with the service's injected clock.
- Give each wakeup call its own promise resolver.
- Assert that lease renewal advances the last attempt time.
- Assert that the wakeup runs one time and the attempt count stays at 1.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/__tests__/question-response-delivery.test.ts`.
- The changed file reports 29 passing tests.
- Run the changed file 25 times, including 5 runs under CPU load.
## Risks
Low risk. The change affects one test file and test setup only. It does
not change production behavior.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A company is the top-level container, and the company General page
holds its settings
> - Two of those settings did almost nothing: the brand color only
tinted the generated company icon, and the attachment size limit sat
under the deployment-level `PAPERCLIP_ATTACHMENT_MAX_BYTES` cap that
already bounded every upload
> - A setting that changes one icon hue, and a setting that can only
lower a limit the operator already set, are not worth the page space or
the code that carries them
> - This pull request deletes both settings from the UI, the validators,
the API contract, the server, and the database
> - With the deployment cap as the only limit left, the message a person
sees when an upload is rejected has to name that limit in terms they can
act on, so the raw byte count becomes a human-readable size
> - The benefit is a shorter company General page for every deployment,
one attachment limit instead of two, and less code between an upload and
its ceiling
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue. The description below follows
`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/enhancement.yml`.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The company General page (`/company/settings`), the `PATCH
/api/companies/{companyId}` and `PATCH
/api/companies/{companyId}/branding` request contracts, and the
attachment upload limit on task, case, and company-import uploads.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: `ui/`, `server/`, `packages/shared`, `packages/db`.
**Current behavior**
The company General page shows an "Appearance" section with three
controls: Logo, Brand color, and Attachment size limit. The brand color
is a hex value that feeds one thing — the hue of the generated company
pattern icon. Companies that never set one already get a hue derived
from the company name. The attachment size limit is a per-company byte
count stored on `companies.attachment_max_bytes`. Every upload path
clamps it against the deployment-level `PAPERCLIP_ATTACHMENT_MAX_BYTES`
cap, so the per-company value can only lower a limit the operator
already chose.
**Proposed behavior**
The Appearance section keeps the Logo control only. The company pattern
icon always derives its hue from the company name. Every attachment path
reads the deployment cap directly, so `PAPERCLIP_ATTACHMENT_MAX_BYTES`
is the single limit. An upload rejected by that limit says so in human
units — "File is larger than the 10 MB limit" rather than a raw byte
count. The `companies.brand_color` and `companies.attachment_max_bytes`
columns are dropped, and both fields leave the company API contract.
**Reason and benefit**
Both settings ask an operator to make a decision that changes almost
nothing. The brand color moves one icon hue on a page that also lets you
upload a real logo, which overrides the icon entirely. The attachment
limit reads as a real control but cannot raise anything, so it is a
second place to look when an upload is rejected. Removing both shortens
the page every deployment sees, removes a company-scoped read from the
task attachment upload path, and leaves one attachment limit to reason
about instead of two.
**Breaking changes**
The company API responses no longer include `brandColor` or
`attachmentMaxBytes`, and `GET /api/invites/{token}` no longer includes
`companyBrandColor`. `PATCH /api/companies/{companyId}/branding` is
strict, so a request that sends `brandColor` now returns 400; the
non-strict `PATCH /api/companies/{companyId}` schema strips it. Company
packages exported by older versions still import: the portability
company manifest schema is non-strict, so the retired keys are stripped
and ignored rather than rejected. Companies that stored a brand color
lose it — their icon reverts to the name-derived hue that every company
without a color already used.
## What Changed
- Removed the "Brand color" and "Attachment size limit" fields from the
company General page, along with their state, dirty checks, save
payload, and Save-button gating.
- Removed `brandColor` and `attachmentMaxBytes` from
`createCompanySchema`, `updateCompanySchema`, and
`updateCompanyBrandingSchema`, and deleted the now-orphaned
`DEFAULT_COMPANY_ATTACHMENT_MAX_BYTES` and
`MAX_COMPANY_ATTACHMENT_MAX_BYTES` constants.
- Removed both fields from the `Company` type, the portability manifest
type and schema, and the `companiesApi.update` payload allowlist.
- Dropped `brandColor` from `CompanyPatternIcon` and its callers, so the
icon hue always comes from the company name. Deleted the now-unused
`hexToHue` helper and the now-unused `pickTextColorForSolidBg` export.
- Stopped emitting `brandColor` from the company service selection and
from the invite-summary and invite-branding payloads in
`server/src/routes/access.ts`.
- Replaced `normalizeIssueAttachmentMaxBytes` with the deployment cap:
task attachments, case attachments, and company import now use
`MAX_ATTACHMENT_BYTES` directly. The helper is deleted.
- Added `formatAttachmentSize()` next to `MAX_ATTACHMENT_BYTES` and
routed every over-limit message through it, so a rejected upload names
the limit in human units instead of raw bytes: `Image exceeds 10485760
bytes` becomes `Image is larger than the 10 MB limit`. Enforcement is
unchanged — the same single cap, the same multer limits, the same status
codes and response shapes.
- Added migration
`0229_drop_company_brand_color_and_attachment_max_bytes.sql` and removed
both columns from the Drizzle `companies` schema.
- Kept legacy imports working: the portability company manifest schema
is non-strict, so older packages carrying the retired keys still import
with the keys ignored.
- Updated the skill API reference and the implementation spec, and
pruned the token-extraction allowlist entries that the removed code made
stale.
## Verification
Commands run from the repository root:
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — pass
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` — pass (includes
`check:migrations`, which validates the new migration number and journal

New tests added:

update schemas strip the retired keys, the strict branding schema
rejects `brandColor`, and the portability manifest schema accepts a
legacy entry carrying both keys and drops them.
- `server/src/__tests__/company-branding-route.test.ts` — `PATCH
/api/companies/{companyId}/branding` returns 400 for `brandColor` and
does not call the company service.
- `server/src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts` — a legacy package
that declares `brandColor` and `attachmentMaxBytes` imports
successfully, and neither key reaches `companies.create`.
- `server/src/__tests__/issue-attachment-routes.test.ts` — the effective
task attachment limit is the deployment cap, and the route no longer
loads the company to size an upload.
- `server/src/__tests__/attachment-types.test.ts` —
`formatAttachmentSize()` renders the default cap as `10 MB`, keeps one
decimal place for fractional sizes and drops a trailing `.0`, falls back
to KB and bytes for small caps, steps up to GB, and never emits `NaN`
for a degenerate input.
- `server/src/__tests__/assets.test.ts` — the asset-image and
company-logo routes both return the human-readable limit message on an
over-cap upload.
## Merge with master
`master` moved while this was open, and the merge needed two
resolutions:
- **`ui/src/pages/CompanySettings.tsx`.** #12243 reworded the
user-facing
copy from "company" to "organization", and that rewording landed inside
the "Brand color" and "Attachment size limit" hints — the two fields
this change deletes. Both fields are removed, so the conflicted block is
dropped whole. The Logo field and every other copy change from #12243
are
kept.
- **Migration renumbered 0228 -> 0229.** #12307 landed
`0228_nasty_grim_reaper`, so this migration is now
`0229_drop_company_brand_color_and_attachment_max_bytes`. Its snapshot
is
rebuilt from master's `0228_snapshot.json` with only the two `companies`
columns removed, and `meta/_journal.json` is master's journal plus a
single `idx: 229` entry. `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db
check:migrations`
passes.
The snapshot was rebuilt by hand rather than taken from `drizzle-kit
generate`, because master's `0228_snapshot.json` has drifted from
master's
own schema: `issue_question_response_deliveries.error_count` is created
by
master's 0228 SQL but missing from its snapshot, and the snapshot still
carries `decision_archive_notification_outbox.error_count`. Regenerating
folds both into this migration, and the resulting `ADD COLUMN
error_count`
would fail on a fresh database where master's 0228 already created that
column. Rebuilding from master's snapshot leaves that drift exactly
where
it is and keeps this migration to the two column drops. The drift is
pre-existing on master and is not addressed here.
## Risks
- **The migration is a destructive column drop.**
`0229_drop_company_brand_color_and_attachment_max_bytes.sql` removes
`companies.brand_color` and `companies.attachment_max_bytes`. It is safe
because both features are removed in the same change and nothing reads
either column after it. The statements use `DROP COLUMN IF EXISTS`,
matching the convention of the recent drop migrations in this
repository. The drop is not reversible: a downgrade after this migration
loses any stored values.
- **Stored brand colors are lost.** A company that had set a color now
renders the name-derived icon hue that every company without a color
already used. No other surface changes, and an uploaded logo still
overrides the icon.
- **API response shape narrows.** `brandColor` and `attachmentMaxBytes`
leave the company payloads, and `companyBrandColor` leaves the invite
summary payload. A client reading those fields now sees `undefined`. The
bundled UI and CLI are updated in this change.
- **Legacy imports are covered.** Packages exported by older versions
still carry both keys. The manifest schema is non-strict, so the keys
are stripped rather than rejected, and a test locks that in.
- **The over-limit message strings changed.** Anything matching on the
old `... exceeds N bytes` text — a test, a script, or a client that
string-matches `body.error` — needs updating. The status codes (422) and
response shapes are unchanged, so structured clients are unaffected.
- **Attachment limits can only widen.** A deployment that had lowered a
company below the deployment cap now allows uploads up to the cap for
that company. Lower `PAPERCLIP_ATTACHMENT_MAX_BYTES` if a smaller
ceiling is needed.
- **Storybook visual baselines shift** for the `CompanyPatternIcon`
matrix story, because those fixtures had brand colors. That workflow
runs only on a PR labeled `storybook-visual`, so it does not gate this
PR; regenerate the baselines if the label is added.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - An instance can turn on the `enableManagedSandboxOnly` feature,
which hides the local environment and runs every agent in the
platform-managed environment
> - That feature already gated the environment pickers, the onboarding
wizard, and the server-side run selection, but many other screens still
showed absolute paths on the execution host and still let the user pick
an execution engine
> - On such an instance those controls name a filesystem the user cannot
reach; a path written there is stored and then ignored, which reads as a
broken control
> - This pull request hides the remaining host-path and execution-engine
surfaces behind the same feature, adds a server rule that refuses a
project-workspace path write while the feature is on, and closes a
related route gap in the isolated-workspace pages
> - The benefit is that a managed instance shows no host path and no
folder picker anywhere, and a write that carries a path now fails with a
clear message instead of being silently discarded
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists. The description below follows
`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/enhancement.yml`.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The `enableManagedSandboxOnly` instance feature, and the UI surfaces
that show
a host filesystem path: project properties, the new-project dialog, the
project
workspace and execution workspace detail pages, the workspace and task
cards,
plugin local folders, and the agent configuration form with its
per-adapter
fields. It also improves route gating for `enableIsolatedWorkspaces`.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (`ui/` and `server/`).
**Current behavior**
When `enableManagedSandboxOnly` is on, the local environment disappears
from the
environment pickers and the server refuses to run an agent on the local
host.
Everything else stays visible. A user still sees:
- the project "Local folder" row, its absolute path, and the
Set/Change/Clear buttons
- the "Local folder" field and its "Choose" folder picker in the
new-project dialog
- the "Local path" field and fact row on a project workspace
- the "Paths" and "Lifecycle commands" groups on an execution workspace
- the working directory on workspace cards, task properties, and runtime
service rows
- the plugin "Local folders" section
- "Working directory (deprecated)", "Command", "Execution engine",
"ACP server command", "ACP state directory", and "Agent instructions
file" in
the agent configuration form
A path typed into any of these names a filesystem no agent on the
instance uses.
The project workspace API also accepts a `cwd` write and stores it.
Separately, `/workspaces`, `/execution-workspaces/*`, and
`/projects/:projectId/workspaces/:workspaceId` render for anyone who
types or
bookmarks the URL, even with `enableIsolatedWorkspaces` off. Only the
sidebar
entry reads that flag.
**Proposed behavior**
With `enableManagedSandboxOnly` on, none of those surfaces render. A
project
whose codebase came from a managed checkout keeps its one-line
"Paperclip-managed folder." label and shows no path. The non-path
controls stay:
repo URL, branch, service URL, port, command output, ACP session mode,
ACP
non-interactive permissions, Codex fast mode, and the sandbox toggles.
The project-workspace create and patch routes, and the nested workspace
on
project create, answer `422` with
"This instance runs agents only in the platform-managed environment;
local
folders are not configurable." when the payload carries a non-null
`cwd`.
A `cwd: null` write still passes, so an instance that just turned the
feature on
can clear a stale path.
With `enableIsolatedWorkspaces` off, the three workspace route groups
redirect to
the dashboard.
**Reason and benefit**
A control that cannot do anything is worse than a missing control: the
user fills
it in, saves, and gets no error and no effect. The server rule turns
that silent
no-op into a clear refusal. The route gate stops a feature that an
instance has
turned off from staying reachable by URL, which is the same standard the
Cases,
Pipelines, and hidden-settings pages already meet.
**Breaking changes**
None for a default instance: both flags are off by default for
self-hosted and
managed instances, so nothing changes unless an operator turns them on.
Stored
`adapterConfig` values are never cleared, so turning the feature off
restores
every previous value.
## What Changed
- Add `ui/src/hooks/useManagedSandboxOnly.ts`, modelled on
`useAppsEnabled`, for
components that do not already read the experimental settings. It
exposes
`hideHostPaths`, which fails closed while the settings query is in
flight, so
a cold cache never flashes a host path before the policy resolves.
Components
that keep their own settings read compute the same gate from
`isFetched`.
- Add `managedSandboxOnly` to `AdapterConfigFieldsProps` and populate it
where
`AgentConfigForm` builds the adapter field props. Resolve the effective
instructions-file gate once as `hideInstructionsFile || hideHostPaths`,
so
every adapter hides that path field with no per-adapter edit.
- Hide under the flag: the project "Local folder" block and its
absolute-path
edit panel (a managed checkout keeps its label, without the path); the
new-project "Local folder" field; the project-workspace "Local path"
field and
fact row; the execution-workspace "Paths" and "Lifecycle commands"
groups; the
working directory on the workspace summary card, the task workspace
card, the
task properties "Folder" row, and the runtime service rows; the plugin
"Local
folders" section; "Working directory (deprecated)" and "Command" in the
agent
form; and the per-adapter "Execution engine", "ACP server command", and
"ACP state directory" for `claude_local`, `codex_local`, and
`gemini_local`.
- Drop two working-directory fallbacks that had no gate to read: the
close-workspace
dialog now falls back to "No additional details", and the reuse-existing
workspace label and picker subtitle fall back to a neutral phrase.
- Refuse a non-null `cwd` with `422` on `POST /projects/:id/workspaces`,
`PATCH /projects/:id/workspaces/:workspaceId`, and the nested workspace
on
`POST /companies/:companyId/projects`, following the
`assertNoAgentHostWorkspaceCommandMutation` precedent on those routes.
- Add `IsolatedWorkspacesRouteGate` and wrap the `/workspaces`,
`/execution-workspaces/*`, and
`/projects/:projectId/workspaces/:workspaceId`
routes with it.
- Leave the SSH "Remote workspace path" and the workspace file browser
alone,
with a comment explaining why.
## Verification
Automated:
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run` — 479 of 480 files
pass
(4455 of 4456 tests). The one failure is `OnboardingWizard.test.tsx >
renders
instead of throwing when the browser denies storage access`, which also
fails
on `origin/master` and is unrelated to this change.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run project workspace
instance-settings`
— 45 of 50 files pass. Four files fail on macOS for reasons unrelated to
this
change: `workspace-instance-cleanup`, `workspace-runtime`,
`execution-workspace-runtime-control-conflict`, and
`workspace-runtime-exposure` compare `/var/...` against the resolved
`/private/var/...` or bind real ports. The same files fail on a clean
`master`
checkout on the same machine.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `tsc --noEmit` in `server/` (after
`pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk ensure-build-deps`). The package
`typecheck` script also builds the Rust runner, which needs `cargo`; it
is not
installed on the machine that ran this.
New and extended tests:
- `ui/src/adapters/managed-sandbox-only-config-fields.test.tsx` — the
three
adapters drop the execution engine, the ACP paths, the instructions-file
path,
and every "Choose" button when the flag is on, and keep the non-path
controls.
- `ui/src/components/AgentConfigForm.render.test.tsx` — flag-on and
flag-off
renders for the working directory, the command, the engine, the ACP
paths, and
the resolved adapter field props.
- `ui/src/components/ProjectProperties.managed-sandbox.test.tsx`,
`ui/src/components/NewProjectDialog.managed-sandbox.test.tsx`,
`ui/src/pages/ProjectWorkspaceDetail.test.tsx`,
`ui/src/components/ProjectWorkspaceSummaryCard.test.tsx`,
`ui/src/components/WorkspaceRuntimeControls.test.tsx`.
- `ui/src/components/IsolatedWorkspacesRouteGate.test.tsx` — redirect
when off,
render when on, and render nothing while the flag query is in flight.
- "Still loading" cases for the project properties, the new-project
dialog, the
workspace summary card, the runtime service rows, and the agent
configuration
form, each asserting that no host path renders before the policy
resolves.
-
`server/src/__tests__/project-workspace-managed-sandbox-routes.test.ts`
— the
`422` on all three write paths, the `cwd: null` pass-through, and the
flag-off pass-through.
Manual check to reproduce: turn on Managed Environment Only in instance
experimental settings, then open a project, the new-project dialog, an
agent's
configuration, and a workspace page. No path, folder icon, or "Choose"
button
appears. Turn the setting off and each control returns with its stored
value.
No documentation change was needed. The operator-facing text for both
settings
lives in the feature catalog entry, which already states the contract
this pull
request now enforces across the UI.
## Risks
- Low. Both flags default to off, so a default instance is unchanged.
- The hidden fields are presentation only. No stored `adapterConfig`
value is
cleared, because an import carries adapter configuration written on
another
instance and clearing it would break that flow. Turning the setting off
shows
every previous value again.
- The `422` is the one behavior change for an API caller, and only while
the
setting is on. `cwd: null` still passes so a stale path can be cleared.
- The route gate renders nothing until the flag query settles, so an
instance
with isolated workspaces on never flashes a redirect. An instance with
the
feature off now redirects a bookmarked workspace URL to the dashboard.
- Every host-path guard fails closed while the settings query is in
flight, so a
default instance shows those controls a moment later than before on a
cold
load. That is the safe direction: the alternative flashes a path a
managed
instance must never show.
- Two path surfaces stay on purpose, each with a comment: the SSH
"Remote
workspace path" is a path on the user's own remote host, and the
workspace file
browser shows workspace-relative paths. The instance Adapters page also
keeps
its "Local path" install option, since that page is an instance-admin
surface
the hosting operator can already hide through the hidden-settings
mechanism.

work
> - Every company has an issue prefix. It is the visible half of each
task and case identifier, and a self-hosted company derives it from the
name it was created with
> - A hosted or managed instance does not use the create-company flow.
The trusted-header auth path claims the tenant company instead
> - That path minted the prefix from a hash of the stack id, and it
wrote a placeholder description that nobody chose
> - So a hosted company showed opaque task IDs such as `PC7F2A-14`, and
a rename never changed them
> - This pull request derives the prefix from the company name on that
path too. It re-derives the prefix when the name changes on a managed
instance, and it rewrites the stored issue and case identifiers so
existing tasks follow the rename
> - It also repairs each company that an earlier build claimed. The
repair runs once, on the next authenticated request
> - The benefit is that task IDs on a hosted instance read like the ones
on a self-hosted instance, and they stay correct after a rename
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists. The description below follows
`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/enhancement.yml`.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The tenant company claim in `resolveCloudTenantActor`
(`server/src/middleware/auth.ts`) and the company update in
`companyService.update` (`server/src/services/companies.ts`). Both
decide the
`issue_prefix` and the `description` of a company on a hosted or managed
instance.
**Subsystem affected**
`server/` — REST API and orchestration services. One small hint was also
added
in `ui/`.
**Current behavior**
A self-hosted company gets its issue prefix from its name. "Acme
Robotics"
becomes `ACM`, and its tasks read `ACM-14`.
A hosted or managed instance claims the company through the
trusted-header auth
path. That path wrote a different prefix: `"PC"` plus the first four hex
characters of the SHA-256 of the stack id. The same path also wrote a
placeholder description, `"Provisioned by ... for stack <stack id>."`.
The result is a task ID such as `PC7F2A-14`. It says nothing about the
company.
A later rename of the company does not change it, because nothing
re-derives
the prefix after creation.
**Proposed behavior**
The claim path derives the prefix from the company name, exactly as the
create-company flow does. It writes no description.
On a managed instance, a rename re-derives the prefix. The stored issue
and
case identifiers move with it, so `ACM-14` becomes `NOR-14` when "Acme
Robotics" becomes "Northwind Traders". A rename that keeps the same
three-letter
base keeps the current prefix, including any disambiguating suffix.
A self-hosted instance is unchanged. A rename there still keeps the
prefix the
company was created with.
Companies that an earlier build already claimed get a one-time repair on
their
next authenticated request. The repair re-derives the prefix from the
current
name, re-keys the identifiers, and clears the placeholder description.
**Reason and benefit**
A task ID is the primary handle for a task. People type it, paste it
into chat,
and read it in a URL. On a hosted instance that handle was an opaque
hash, and
it disagreed with the company name that the same user chose during
signup. The
name is the only prefix source a hosted user ever supplies, so the
prefix now
follows it.
**Breaking changes**
Yes, on hosted and managed instances only. A company rename now rewrites
the
stored issue and case identifiers. Links that carry an old identifier
stop
resolving after the rename. The company settings page states this before
the
user saves. The one-time repair applies the same rewrite once to
companies that
carry the old hash prefix. Self-hosted behavior does not change.
## What Changed
- Added `server/src/services/issue-prefix.ts`. It holds the prefix
helpers that
used to live inside the `companyService` closure:
`ISSUE_PREFIX_FALLBACK`,
`deriveIssuePrefixBase`, `issuePrefixSuffixForAttempt`, and
`isIssuePrefixConflict`. The companies service now imports them.
- Added `pickAvailableIssuePrefix` to that module. It reads the prefixes
in one
base family and returns the first free candidate. A standalone `INSERT`
can
retry on a unique violation, because each failed statement is its own
implicit
transaction. A caller that already holds a transaction cannot, because
the
violation aborts the whole transaction. Such a caller picks first, then
writes.
- Added `rekeyCompanyIssueIdentifiers` to that module. It rewrites the
prefix of
the stored `issues.identifier` and `cases.identifier` values of one
company in
the caller's transaction, and it returns the two row counts.
- `companyService.update` re-derives the prefix when the name changes on
a
managed instance, re-keys both tables in the same transaction, and
writes a
`company.updated` activity entry after the commit.
- `resolveCloudTenantActor` claims the company with a name-derived
prefix and a
null description. The claim retries with the next suffix when the prefix
is
taken.
- `resolveCloudTenantActor` also runs a one-time repair for companies
that carry
the old hash prefix. An exact-match fence on the update lets a
concurrent
rename win. The repair is idempotent, because its guards stop matching
after
it lands.
- The rename takes a row lock on the company before it compares anything
against
it, and it re-keys from the prefix it reads under that lock. Only patch
and
environment facts gate the lock, so no stale read can steer the
decision. Two
overlapping updates would otherwise leave a company whose prefix
disagrees with
its own identifiers, in either direction: two renames, where the second
re-keys
from a prefix the first already moved; or a rename plus a stale form
that
resubmits the original name, where the second sees an unchanged name,
skips
re-derivation, and restores the old name on top of the first rename's
prefix.
Only a managed instance takes the lock, and only for an update that
carries a
name.
- Both helpers compare an exact identifier head instead of a LIKE
pattern. A
stored prefix is data, so it must never be read as a pattern.
- The company settings page shows a hint under the name field on a
managed
instance: renaming can change the task ID prefix.
## Verification
Automated tests:
```
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run \
src/services/issue-prefix.test.ts \
src/__tests__/companies-service.test.ts \
src/__tests__/cloud-tenant-company-provisioning.test.ts \

pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck
```
New coverage:
- `server/src/services/issue-prefix.test.ts` covers the derivation, the
suffix
ladder, the cause-chain walk of the unique-violation detector, and
`pickAvailableIssuePrefix` against a stubbed select.
- `server/src/__tests__/companies-service.test.ts` covers a managed
rename
against a real Postgres database: the prefix moves, both identifier
tables are
re-keyed, and the activity entry is written. It also covers a same-base
rename,
a collision that takes the suffixed candidate, a non-name patch, and a
self-hosted rename that leaves the prefix alone. Two more tests drive
the
overlap cases: two concurrent renames of the same company, and a rename
racing
a stale form that resubmits the original name. Both assert that the
surviving
name's base matches the company prefix and that the stored identifiers
sit on
that prefix.
- `server/src/__tests__/cloud-tenant-company-provisioning.test.ts`
covers the
claim path and the repair against a real Postgres database: a
name-derived
prefix, a null description, a suffixed prefix on collision, the full
repair,
a second pass that changes nothing, a description-only repair, and an
operator-written description that the repair leaves alone.
- `ui/src/pages/CompanySettingsRenameHint.test.tsx` covers the hint on a
managed
instance and its absence on a self-hosted instance.
The `substring` cast in `rekeyCompanyIssueIdentifiers` is load-bearing
and the
database tests prove it. The driver binds the offset as text. Without
the
`::int` cast Postgres resolves the SQL-regex overload of `substring`,
and every
identifier becomes NULL.
## Risks
- **Re-keying changes existing identifiers and URLs.** This is
deliberate, and
it happens on hosted and managed instances only. After a rename, a link
that
carries an old task identifier stops resolving. The settings page warns
about
this before the user saves.
- **Identifiers inside comment text are not rewritten.** Only the
`identifier`
columns of `issues` and `cases` move. A task ID that someone typed into
a
comment, a description, or a document keeps the old prefix.
- **A lost prefix race inside the rename transaction surfaces as a
conflict.**
The rename picks a free prefix and then writes, because a unique
violation
inside a transaction aborts the whole transaction. Two *different*
companies
renamed onto the same base at the same moment can still collide. The
loser
sees its PATCH fail with the unique violation. The write is retryable by
the
client, and the window is a single statement wide. Two renames of the
*same*
company no longer race: the row lock serializes them, and the second one
re-keys from what the first committed.
- **The rename holds a row lock.** A managed rename takes `SELECT ...
FOR UPDATE`
on its own company row for the rest of the transaction. It is one row,
and no
other path in the transaction locks a company row, so there is no
lock-order
cycle. A self-hosted instance and every non-rename company update never
reach
the lock.
- **The one-time repair is best effort.** It runs inside a try/catch and
logs a
warning on failure, so it never blocks authentication. A failed pass is
retried
on the next request, because its guards still match.
- No schema change and no migration.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Hosting operators (a managed cloud, an internal shared server) tune
the settings surface with `PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS`, but hiding a
control never changes its value
> - An instance whose stored feedback-sharing preference is still the
schema default ("prompt") keeps prompting users even when the operator
hid the control, leaving them no way to answer
> - More generally, operators have no supported way to change what a
setting defaults to without patching code
> - This pull request adds `PAPERCLIP_SETTING_DEFAULTS`, a generic
operator-supplied read-time default overlay for registry-listed general
settings
> - The benefit is that any hosting operator can pair "hide the control"
with "default the value", while explicit user choices and self-hosted
stock behavior stay untouched
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists; following the enhancement template:
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Hosting operators need to supply the default value of selected instance
settings (first: `feedbackDataSharingPreference`) via configuration,
without patching code and without a hard-coded, opinionated constant in
the product.
**Subsystem affected**
Server (instance-settings service, feedback service, boot) and
`packages/shared` (settings schemas).
**Current behavior**
Setting defaults are fixed in the shared zod schemas.
`PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS` can hide the feedback-sharing control and
floor writes, but the stored value stays "prompt", so issue-chat
surfaces keep prompting with no way to answer.
**Proposed behavior**
`PAPERCLIP_SETTING_DEFAULTS` takes a JSON object validated against a
shared registry of defaultable fields. The operator value substitutes
for the schema default at read time: a field whose effective value is
still the schema default resolves to the operator value; an explicit
non-default user choice always wins. Never persisted; unsetting the
variable restores stock behavior. Malformed JSON or an invalid value for
a known field refuses startup (fail closed); unknown field names warn
and are ignored (mixed-version fleet safe).
**Reason and benefit**
Any hosting operator can pair "hide the control" with "default the
value" without forking the product. Explicit user choices and
self-hosted stock behavior stay untouched.
**Breaking changes**
None. With the variable unset, every read path is byte-identical to
before.
## What Changed
- New `packages/shared/src/setting-defaults.ts`:
`SETTING_DEFAULTS_ENV_KEY`, `DEFAULTABLE_GENERAL_SETTINGS` registry
(currently `feedbackDataSharingPreference`), `parseSettingDefaults`
(fail-closed for policy content, warn-ignore unknown fields),
`applyOperatorGeneralDefaults` (pure read-time overlay),
`stripOperatorGeneralEchoes` (persist-time echo strip, see below),
re-exported from the package index.
- New `server/src/services/setting-defaults.ts`: parse-once accessor
mirroring `settings-visibility.ts`.
- `server/src/services/instance-settings.ts`: `toGeneralView` applies
the overlay in `get`/`getGeneral`/update responses; persisted writes
never carry operator values. Because general-settings writes materialize
every field, a stored schema-default value is treated as unchosen —
deliberate, documented, and covered by tests.
- `server/src/services/feedback.ts`: the preference-persistence branch
now checks the effective (overlaid) preference, so a stray prompt answer
cannot overwrite an operator default; its local normalize fallback now
returns full schema defaults.
- `server/src/index.ts`: boot-time fail-fast parse with a log line
naming the defaulted settings, mirroring the managed-config posture.
- The hidden-settings write floor (`assertNoHiddenSettingChanges`) keeps
comparing against effective values, so clients echoing a full GET
response keep working. To keep the overlay strictly read-time,
`updateGeneral` strips such echoes at persist time: a write of the
operator value over a field whose stored value is still the schema
default (unchosen) maps back to the schema default, so an echo cannot
promote the operator value into an explicit stored choice and later
changes to (or removal of) `PAPERCLIP_SETTING_DEFAULTS` still take
effect. A write of any other value, or over an explicit stored choice,
persists as given.
- Docs: `PAPERCLIP_SETTING_DEFAULTS` row + "Operator setting defaults"
section in `docs/deploy/environment-variables.md`.
- Tests: `packages/shared/src/setting-defaults.test.ts` (parse matrix,
overlay precedence, echo-strip matrix, immutability) and
`server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-operator-defaults.test.ts`
(accessor, substitution, explicit-choice wins, unset identity,
never-persisted, full-GET echo stays unchosen, explicit non-default
write persists).
## Verification
- `npx vitest run packages/shared/src/setting-defaults.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-operator-defaults.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-managed-overlay.test.ts` — 33
tests passing.
- `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts` — 57 passing;
`npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/feedback-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-feedback-routes.test.ts` — 18 passing.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck` — clean.
## Risks
- Low. With the variable unset every read path is byte-identical to
before (identity overlay, covered by tests). The overlay is read-time
only and never persisted, so no migration and no data risk. Fail-closed
parsing means a bad policy value is a loud boot failure rather than
silent drift — consistent with the existing managed-config contract.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Humans oversee those agents in teams, so each person has a login and
a profile with an avatar
> - Avatars, logos and pasted images all go to one asset upload API,
which files each object under a namespace
> - The avatar namespace embeds the user id, and a deployment can take
user ids from an external identity layer, where a subject often holds
":", "|", "." or "@"
> - But the namespace validator accepted only letters, numbers, "/", "_"
and "-", so those users got a 400 "Invalid image metadata" error and
could not set a profile photo
> - This pull request widens the accepted characters, rejects "." and
".." path segments with a clear message, and cleans the namespace in the
upload client
> - The benefit is that profile photo upload works for every user, and a
namespace the API refuses now returns a message that says what is wrong
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue or open pull request covers this. I searched the issue
and pull request lists for "avatar upload", "profile photo", "Invalid
image metadata" and "asset namespace" and found no duplicate. The bug
report follows.
**What happened?**
Profile photo upload fails. `ui/src/pages/ProfileSettings.tsx` sends the
namespace `profiles/${user.id}` to `POST
/api/companies/:companyId/assets/images`. When the user id comes from an
external identity layer it can contain ":", "|", "." or "@" — for
example `oidc:example|jane.example@example.com`.
`createAssetImageMetadataSchema` in
`packages/shared/src/validators/asset.ts` accepted only
`/^[a-zA-Z0-9\/_-]+$/`, so the route returned 400 "Invalid image
metadata" (`server/src/routes/assets.ts`). The image bytes were never
the problem, but the message pointed at the image, so the toast gave the
user nothing to act on.
A second case has the same cause. The agent instructions editor in
`ui/src/pages/AgentDetail.tsx` builds a namespace that ends with a
filename, such as `agents/<id>/instructions/SKILL.md`. The "." in the
filename also failed the check.
**Expected behavior**
A profile photo uploads for any user id the app itself issues, and an
image pasted into the agent instructions editor uploads for any
instruction filename. A namespace the API does refuse returns a message
that names the field and states the rule.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run Paperclip with an external identity provider, so `user.id` holds
an OIDC subject such as `oidc:example|jane.example@example.com`.
2. Open Settings, then Profile.
3. Choose an avatar image.
4. The upload fails and the page shows "Invalid image metadata".
Or, with no identity provider:
1. Open an agent, then the instructions editor, and select a file whose
name contains a "." such as `SKILL.md`.
2. Paste an image into the editor.
3. The upload fails with the same error.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at eb86fcd49.
**Deployment mode**
Any deployment whose user ids come from an external identity layer. The
instructions-editor case reproduces on a plain self-hosted install too.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core bug).
## What Changed
- `packages/shared/src/validators/asset.ts`: widen the namespace pattern
to `/^[a-zA-Z0-9\/_.:@|-]+$/`, and reject any "/"-separated segment
equal to "." or "..". A traversal attempt now gets a clean 400 from the
validator instead of an error from the storage provider.
- `packages/shared/src/validators/asset.ts`: add
`sanitizeAssetNamespace()`, which maps any string to a namespace the
schema accepts. It works per segment: it keeps the accepted characters,
turns the others into "-", collapses repeated dashes, drops empty and
dot-only segments, and caps the result at 120 characters. It returns
`undefined` when no segment survives, and the caller then sends no
namespace.
- `packages/shared/src/validators/asset.ts`: export
`ASSET_NAMESPACE_MAX_LENGTH` and `ASSET_NAMESPACE_RULE`, so the rule
text and the API error cannot drift apart.
- `ui/src/api/assets.ts`: run the namespace through
`sanitizeAssetNamespace()` in `uploadImage`. This is one choke point for
all callers, so no caller has to know the rule.
- `server/src/routes/assets.ts`: name the field in the 400 message —
`Invalid image metadata: "namespace" must be 1-120 characters of
letters, numbers, or / _ - . : @ |, and cannot contain "." or ".." path
segments`. The zod issue details stay in the response. The UI shows
`body.error`, so the toast is now actionable.
- Tests: a new `packages/shared/src/validators/asset.test.ts`
accept/reject matrix for the schema and the sanitizer; three cases in
`server/src/__tests__/assets.test.ts`; one case in
`ui/src/pages/ProfileSettings.test.tsx`.
## Verification
Targeted runs:
```
npx vitest run packages/shared/src/validators/asset.test.ts # 22 passed
npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/assets.test.ts # 11 passed
npx vitest run ui/src/pages/ProfileSettings.test.tsx # 2 passed
```
New cases:
- Schema: accepts identity-provider ids that hold ":", "|", "." and "@";
accepts `agents/<id>/instructions/SKILL.md`; rejects `profiles/bad
name!`, over-length input, and `.` or `..` segments.
- Sanitizer: passes identity-provider ids through unchanged, replaces
and collapses the other characters, drops the `.` and `..` segments
while keeping a segment of three or more dots, caps at 120 characters
without leaving a dot segment behind at the cut, and returns `undefined`
when nothing survives. One case asserts the sanitizer output always
parses.
- Route: 201 for `profiles/oidc:example|jane.example@example.com`, and
the storage service receives that namespace; 400 naming `namespace` for
`profiles/bad name!`; 400 for `profiles/../secrets`.
- UI: a session user id holding ":" and "|" uploads, and the namespace
reaches the API unchanged.
Typecheck:
```
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck # clean
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck # clean
cd server && npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json # clean
```
Package suites:
```
npx vitest run --project @paperclipai/shared --exclude "**/dist/**" # 586 passed, 8 pre-existing failures in src/worktree-seed-source.test.ts
npx vitest run --project @paperclipai/ui --exclude "**/dist/**" # 4402 passed
```
CI runs the server suite as ten shards (five general, five serialized),
which is the authoritative full run for this package. All shards pass on
this branch.
The `worktree-seed-source` failures reproduce on an unmodified checkout
of the same base commit and are unrelated to this change. The UI
failures seen in that run were 5-second test timeouts caused by running
two suites at once on one machine; each file passes when it runs alone.
No document states the namespace character rule — I checked `docs/` and
`doc/`, where the asset upload endpoint appears only in an OpenAPI
registry entry and a smoke-lab note, neither of which describes the
metadata fields. The rule now lives in one exported constant that the
API error reuses.
## Risks
Low risk.
- The wider character set does not widen what a caller can write to
disk. `server/src/storage/service.ts` already replaces every character
outside `[a-zA-Z0-9._-]` in each path segment, and
`server/src/storage/local-disk-provider.ts` already rejects "." and ".."
segments and any key that resolves outside the base directory. This
change moves the "." and ".." refusal earlier, to the validator, so the
caller gets a clear 400.
- The API is more permissive than before, so no request that used to
succeed can start failing.
- Namespaces stored before this change keep working. The namespace is
not a key that is looked up; it is a prefix under which new objects are
filed.
- One behavior change worth noting: the UI now cleans a namespace
instead of sending it as typed, so a caller that passes an unusable
namespace gets a cleaned prefix rather than a failed upload.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents can pause a task and ask the user structured questions.
> - The answer is durable in the issue interaction, but delivery to the
next run is not durable.
> - A process restart can therefore leave an answered interaction
without a continuation attempt.
> - Native runners also need a provider-neutral question contract before
the task page can consume native events safely.
> - This pull request adds a content-free delivery outbox and an
optional native steering seam.
> - Direct adapters keep their existing heartbeat continuation path.
> - The benefit is reliable answer delivery without changing runtime
selection or task-page behavior.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12202. This pull request replaces the question-delivery foundation
from that stale task-thread pull request. The task-thread projection
will follow in a smaller pull request.
**What happened?**
Question answers were stored in the issue interaction. The server then
made one in-memory continuation wake. A server stop between those
operations could leave the answer stored but not delivered. The combined
native task-thread pull request also made this behavior hard to review
separately from UI changes.
**Expected behavior**
The answer and its delivery receipt must commit in one transaction. The
server must retry pending receipts after a restart. Existing direct
adapters must keep the current wake path. A native runtime may use the
optional steering seam, but this pull request does not enable native
steering in production.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create an `ask_user_questions` interaction.
2. Answer the interaction.
3. Stop the server before the continuation wake completes.
4. Start the server again.
5. On current master, no durable record tells the server to retry the
answer delivery.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Current `master` at `4d82f5eae`.
## What Changed
- Add the `issue_question_response_deliveries` table and migration.
- Store only routing state, a correlation ID, and a payload digest in
the delivery row. The answer remains in the existing interaction result.
- Commit an answered interaction and its pending delivery row in one
transaction.
- Add bounded claims, retry recovery, cumulative terminal state, and
content-free activity records.
- Keep every built-in direct adapter and external adapter on the
existing heartbeat wake path.
- Add an optional native steering seam. No production caller supplies
that seam in this pull request.
- Retain the provider-neutral `paperclip.question_set.v1` presentation
on recovered interactions.
- Run delivery immediately after an answer and sweep pending rows at
startup and on the existing server interval.
- Add focused database, service, route, startup, adapter-matrix, digest,
and duplicate-delivery tests.
## Compatibility Boundary
- This pull request does not change adapter selection.
- This pull request does not start runnerd.
- This pull request does not create native run records.
- Direct adapters never call the native steering seam.
- The existing interaction result stays authoritative for answer
content.
- The migration is additive and does not rewrite existing rows.
- This pull request has no UI, dependency, workflow, package-manager, or
lockfile changes.
- The diff has 19 files.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/question-response-delivery.test.ts
server/src/services/issue-thread-interactions.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interaction-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts` — 4 files
and 120 tests passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed for all applicable workspaces. This
includes Cargo format and check, protocol drift checks, and migration
safety.
- `pnpm build` — passed. This includes the Rust release binary, server
build, and UI production build.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
- Secret patterns were not present in the changed text files.
- The repository token gates currently report violations from unchanged
files on `master`. This pull request does not change those files.
## Risks
The main risk is routing a direct-adapter answer into a native session.
The service checks the persisted runtime mode, and the adapter matrix
proves that all direct adapters use only the existing wake path. The new
table is additive. It has foreign keys, unique correlation constraints,
bounded attempts, and status checks. Activity records omit question and
answer content.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip uses separate server and browser packages for runtime
services and the board.
> - Sentry integrations need an exact SDK version and safe optional
loading.
> - A version range can select an SDK that the privacy tests did not
audit.
> - Missing peer metadata does not describe the optional server SDK
contract.
> - This pull request pins the browser SDK and gates the optional server
SDK on its exact version.
> - The benefit is a clear SDK contract with fail-open startup behavior.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The browser package used the range ^10.71.0, so a lockfile refresh could
select a newer SDK. The server loaded @sentry/node dynamically but did
not declare its optional peer contract.
**Expected behavior**
The browser package must use the audited 10.71.0 version. The server
must load @sentry/node only when the installed peer matches 10.71.0. The
server must start when the optional peer is absent.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Install the project dependencies.
2. Inspect the browser Sentry version and the server package metadata.
3. Start the server without installing @sentry/node.
4. Confirm that the server starts and that the dynamic Sentry bootstrap
does not load an unsupported peer version.
**Paperclip version or commit**

**Deployment mode**
Built from source with pnpm dev or pnpm build.
**Installation method**
Built from source.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core change).
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
## What Changed
- Pin @sentry/browser to exactly 10.71.0 as a UI development dependency.
- Declare @sentry/node as an optional server peer dependency at 10.71.0.
- Gate the dynamic server bootstrap on the exact peer version.
- Add tests for the browser pin, peer metadata, version gate, and
fail-open loading.
- Document the supported server SDK version.
- Keep the lockfile unchanged because the pull request workflow
regenerates it for manifest changes.
## Verification
- Server tests pass with six expected skips when @sentry/node is absent.
- UI tests pass.
- The UI build emits the lazy Sentry browser chunk.
- git diff --check passes.
- GitHub pull request checks must pass after this pull request opens.
- Greptile must return a 5/5 score with no open findings.
## Risks
The exact version gate prevents Sentry startup when an unsupported SDK
version exists. The integration remains optional and fail-open. The
lockfile workflow must regenerate the lockfile before frozen downstream
jobs run. The label-gated Storybook visual job must not run until it can
restore the generated lockfile artifact.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server manages duplex channels that carry data between workers
and hosts.
> - The aggregate byte-ledger ceiling test can race the channel bind.
> - The race can make channel open fail before the test checks the
ceiling rejection.
> - This pull request writes one byte after the open call binds the
channel.
> - The test now checks the post-bind rejection and the retained-byte
count.
> - The benefit is a stable test that checks the intended byte-ledger
behavior.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The duplex aggregate byte-ledger ceiling test scripted data during
channel open. Under load, the host could process the data notification
before the open continuation bound the route. The test then saw
`DUPLEX_CHANNEL_OPEN_FAILED` instead of the intended post-bind
rejection.
**Expected behavior**
The test must open the channel first. It must then write one byte and
confirm that the serialized host-to-worker frame exceeds the four-byte
ceiling. The route must reject the write and retain no bytes.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the focused server test file.
2. Repeat the test several times under load.
3. Observe that the old test can fail during channel open.
4. Run the updated test and confirm the post-bind rejection.
**Paperclip version or commit**
b64fbcd5b2
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with the server test runner.
**Installation method**
Built from source.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core test).
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Additional context**
The change keeps the test-only scope to one file. A previous dependency
change used a separate pull request. This pull request covers the duplex
byte-ledger test fix only.
## What Changed
- Open the duplex channel without scripted data.
- Write one byte after the open call resolves.
- Update the test name and comments to describe the two reservations.
- Keep the change limited to
`server/src/__tests__/plugin-worker-manager-duplex-byte-ledger.test.ts`.
## Verification
- The focused test file passed five consecutive runs before this pull
request opened.
- The test passed with the four-byte ceiling.
- A control run with a 4096-byte ceiling failed only in this test case.
- GitHub Actions must pass the server test suite and all required gates.
- Greptile must return 5/5 with no open findings.
## Risks
Low risk. The change updates one test file and adds no production code.
The test now depends on the open call completing before the write, which
matches the route bind contract.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution. The execution platform
manages the exact context window details.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip manages AI agents for work.
> - Paperclip includes an observability path that operators can enable
for tracing.
> - The server loads several OpenTelemetry packages only when tracing is
enabled.
> - The documentation calls these packages optional peer dependencies,
but the server manifest does not declare them.
> - This gap hides supported versions and stops Dependabot from
maintaining the packages.
> - This pull request aligns package metadata, runtime checks, and
documentation with the opt-in tracing design.
> - The change gives operators clear installation behavior and keeps the
no-op default.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This pull request fixes a package metadata and installation defect.
Related observability work appears in
[#8476](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/8476) and
[#9672](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/9672).
The server documentation described optional OpenTelemetry peer
dependencies, but `server/package.json` did not declare them. Package
managers and Dependabot could not see the supported version ranges. The
UI and Claude local adapter also relied on automatic peer installation
for `yjs` and `@anthropic-ai/sdk`.
The package manifests now declare the optional runtime packages. A
default install does not install optional tracing peers. The server
keeps its no-op behavior when tracing is disabled or a peer is absent.
## What Changed
- Add seven optional OpenTelemetry packages to `server/package.json` and
mark each package as optional.
- Keep `@opentelemetry/api` as a normal dependency for the no-op
interface.
- Disable automatic peer installation in `.npmrc`.
- Declare `yjs` for the UI package and `@anthropic-ai/sdk` for the
Claude local adapter.
- Check declared peer versions before the server loads a dynamic
OpenTelemetry import.
- Keep the endpoint gate, dynamic imports, and fail-open behavior
unchanged.
- Update the observability and README documentation.
- Tell Dependabot that its npm parser does not read `peerDependencies`.
## Verification
- Targeted server tests pass: 34 passed and 2 skipped.
- The skipped tests require the real OpenTelemetry SDK and remain
pre-existing.
- The pull request workflow regenerates the lockfile because manifest
files and `.npmrc` changed.
- The policy job confirms that the pull request does not include
`pnpm-lock.yaml`.
- GitHub checks pass except `security/snyk (cryppadotta)`, which remains
pending after its authorized wait cap.
- Greptile Review reports 5/5 with no open findings.
- Server typecheck passes.
## Risks
- Optional peers can produce a diagnostic when the installed version
does not match the declared range.
- A missing optional peer does not stop the server.
- Disabling automatic peer installation can expose undeclared package
use in other workspaces.
- This pull request declares the affected packages and adds tests for
the changed behavior.
- This pull request makes no database or API changes.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, with repository inspection and pull request
preparation.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The recovery service detects active runs that stop producing output.
> - The dashboard already shows suspicious and critical silence to the
board.
> - The recovery scan also creates delegated evaluation work for the
same signal.
> - Output silence alone does not prove that the run or source task
needs recovery.
> - This pull request keeps the signal and removes automatic recovery
artifacts.
> - The benefit is a visible watchdog signal without assignment changes,
wake requests, or issue noise.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Refs #6596
- Refs #7036
- Refs #9475
- Refs #11544
- Refs #11839
- Refs #11961
## What Changed
- Keep the one-hour suspicious level and four-hour critical level in
active-run API summaries.
- Stop output silence from creating or changing issues, recovery
actions, comments, relations, assignments, and wake requests.
- Store snooze, continue, and false-positive decisions against the run
without an evaluation issue.
- Preserve terminal-source folding, orphan cleanup, and open legacy
evaluation links.
- Show informational watchdog copy and board controls without requiring
an evaluation-task link.
- Document the UI-only watchdog contract.
- Add focused server and UI coverage for artifact-free scans and board
decisions.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-active-run-output-watchdog.test.ts
ui/src/components/IssueRunLedger.test.tsx` (32 tests passed)
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `git diff --check`
- `pnpm test:run` completed locally with 4,772 passing tests. It found
30 unrelated macOS test-harness failures in eight workspace, skill,
listener, and runtime exposure files. The failures use `/tmp` and
`/private/tmp` as different paths, require Linux `/proc` listener data,
or derive invalid HMR ports from the macOS ephemeral range.
- The full Linux CI matrix passed on the latest commit. It includes
build, typecheck, server tests, worker tests, serialization tests,
canary, and e2e tests.
- Greptile reviewed the latest commit at 5/5 with no actionable
findings.
## Risks
- The recovery scan keeps its existing result shape, but its created and
escalated counts remain zero for output silence.
- A false-positive decision now suppresses the signal for the full life
of that run.
- Open legacy evaluation issues remain visible and manually resolvable.
The scan does not refresh or reprioritize them.
- There is no database migration and no API schema change.
> I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This change corrects existing watchdog
behavior and does not duplicate planned core work.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server and the browser need clear error reports when an operator
enables external monitoring.
> - Paperclip already uses an opt-in OpenTelemetry pattern for server
traces.
> - Sentry can provide error reports for both runtime paths when the
operator sets one data source name.
> - This pull request adds one opt-in Sentry gate for the server and the
browser.
> - The benefit is faster diagnosis while the default setup sends no
Sentry data.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What is improved?**
Paperclip gains optional error monitoring for server and browser
failures.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (server, UI, and shared authentication data).
**Current behavior**
Paperclip has no built-in Sentry error capture for server failures or
browser boundary failures. Operators must inspect local logs and browser
tools.
**Proposed behavior**
When the operator sets `SENTRY_DSN`, the server and authenticated
browser use the same Sentry project. When the variable is absent, both
paths stay inactive. The server loads Sentry dynamically and fails open
when the optional package is absent.
**Reason and benefit**
Operators can inspect runtime errors in one Sentry project. The default
setup remains local and sends no monitoring data.
**Breaking changes**
None when `SENTRY_DSN` remains unset. Authenticated session responses
add the optional `sentryDsn` field.
**Additional context**
The implementation uses built-in Sentry privacy options. It disables
default HTTP context and breadcrumb integrations and keeps
`sendDefaultPii` false.
## What Changed
- Add an opt-in server Sentry gate with dynamic package loading and
fail-open behavior.
- Add the Sentry data source name to the authenticated session response.
- Add an authenticated browser Sentry gate and React error boundary
capture.
- Add tests for server, browser, route, and application error paths.
- Document activation, installation, privacy settings, capture behavior,
and operator controls.
## Verification
- Run `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/sentry.test.ts`.
- Run `npx vitest run ui/src/lib/sentry.test.ts`.
- Run `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/auth-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/shutdown.test.ts`.
- Confirm that the full continuous integration suite passes on this pull
request.
- Leave `SENTRY_DSN` unset and confirm that the server and browser gates
stay inactive.
- Set `SENTRY_DSN` and install the optional Sentry packages before a
manual capture check.
## Risks
The operator controls the Sentry project and accepts the data risk when
the operator enables the feature. Error objects can contain messages,
stacks, or cause chains with private values. The default configuration
sends no data because the feature stays off without `SENTRY_DSN`. A
missing optional server package does not stop server boot.

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, with tool use, repository inspection, GitHub CLI
operations, and code review support.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent adapters stage referenced projects into controlled sandboxes
> - The ignore scan must preserve exact Git path bytes and fail closed
on unsafe input
> - Unbounded ignored-path data and raw diagnostics can harm resource
use or expose host details
> - This pull request adds exact path parsing, input bounds, fixed
failure categories, and saturation-only retry
> - The benefit is safer and more predictable referenced-project staging
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The referenced-project ignore scan trimmed NUL-delimited Git paths. It
also accepted a large ignored-path set and exposed raw failure details
through staging errors and warnings.
**Expected behavior**
The scan must preserve leading and trailing whitespace in Git paths. It
must reject oversized ignored-path data and expose only fixed failure
categories.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the referenced-project ignore scan with paths that start or end
with whitespace.
2. Provide more than 10,000 ignored entries or more than 2 MiB of path
bytes.
3. Trigger a scan failure and inspect the reported reason.
**Paperclip version or commit**
d560bc2ae2
**Deployment mode**
Built from source.
**Installation method**
Built from source.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Additional context**
This change covers the overlay diff, untracked, deleted, and ignored Git
paths. It also retries only typed scheduler saturation failures.
## What Changed
- Preserve all bytes in NUL-delimited Git path records.
- Bound ignored-entry count and total UTF-8 path bytes during parsing.
- Redact scan failure details to three fixed reason categories.
- Retry only the typed scheduler saturation error, with three total
attempts and 1 second then 2 second waits.
- Add tests for path whitespace, limits, diagnostics, retry behavior,
and scheduler code parity.
## Verification
- `npx tsc --noEmit` in `packages/adapter-utils` passed.
- `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils` passed with 977 tests and 4
skipped.
- Continuous integration must run the server suite and the full
repository gates.
## Risks
The scan now rejects ignored-path data above fixed limits. Saturation
retries add up to 3 seconds before a final failure. The resolver still
fails closed for all other errors.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5. The model used tool calls, code inspection, and command
execution. The exact context window and reasoning mode are not exposed
by the runtime.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Legacy local adapters run agents that use the Paperclip skill for
the control-plane workflow.
> - PR #7029 removed the required-skill fallback and made runtime skill
selection depend only on stored preferences.
> - No migration or runtime fallback replaced that behavior for existing
agents or non-CEO agents.
> - PR #12138 added core skills to new CEOs, and PR #12147 added Claude
skill discovery. These changes did not mount the operational skill for
all legacy agents.
> - This pull request makes the operational skill a legacy adapter
runtime invariant. It keeps all other skills configurable.
> - The native runner stays unchanged because its protocol supplies the
control-plane contract.
> - The benefit is that new and existing legacy agents can always
operate through Paperclip.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #7029
Refs #12138
Refs #12147
**What happened?**
A skill-capable legacy local agent could start without
`paperclipai/paperclip/paperclip`. This happened when the agent had no
stored skill preference. An explicit empty preference also removed the
skill. The agent then reported that the Paperclip skill was not
available.
**Expected behavior**
Every skill-capable legacy local adapter must mount the Paperclip
operational skill when the runtime inventory contains it. Optional
skills must remain configurable. The native runner must keep its current
protocol-based behavior.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a non-CEO `codex_local` agent without `paperclipSkillSync`
preferences.
2. Start a legacy heartbeat.
3. Inspect the managed `CODEX_HOME/skills` directory.
4. Observe that the Paperclip skill is absent before this change.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The problem reproduces on `master` before this pull request. PR #7029
introduced the configured-only selection behavior.
**Deployment mode**
Local development and self-hosted legacy local adapters.
## What Changed
- Added a shared legacy skill resolver that always selects the canonical
Paperclip operational skill when it is available.
- Applied the resolver to direct adapter execution, ACPX execution,
skill snapshots, and persistent skill sync.
- Added Hermes skill materialization at sync and run boundaries.
- Aligned Cursor, Gemini, and OpenCode execution-time injection with the
configured child `HOME`.
- Made Hermes stop execution when another installation blocks the
required operational skill.
- Kept optional skills controlled by `paperclipSkillSync.desiredSkills`.
- Kept `paperclip_runner` on the configurable-only resolver.
- Added regression coverage for missing preferences, empty preferences,
each skill-capable legacy adapter, ACPX, Hermes, and native runner
isolation.
- Documented the legacy runtime invariant.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed on the pushed commit.
- `pnpm build` passed on the pushed commit.
- The adapter utility regression suites passed: 236 tests.
- The changed server adapter suites passed: 48 tests across 12 files.
- The OpenCode adapter suite passed: 8 tests.
- The Hermes adapter suite passed: 7 tests.
- `git diff --check` passed.
- `pnpm test:run` is not clean on this macOS host. The command reported
failures in unchanged workspace and filesystem suites. An isolated rerun
of `company-skills.test.ts` and `company-skills-service.test.ts`
reproduced 11 failures because macOS resolved `/var/...` paths as
`/private/var/...`. The changed adapter suites pass independently.
## Risks
- This change deliberately makes the operational skill non-removable for
skill-capable legacy local adapters.
- Existing agents receive the skill on their next list, sync, or run
boundary. No database migration is required.
- The resolver does not create a skill when the runtime inventory does
not contain the canonical entry.
- Hermes aborts a run if another installation occupies the required
operational skill target.
- Hermes removes only an undesired Paperclip-owned symlink that still
points to the known Paperclip source.
- The native runner does not receive the legacy default.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The development runner starts the local API, UI, and embedded
PostgreSQL services.
> - Developers need separate data roots when they run more than one
local checkout.
> - The runner forwarded `--data-dir` to a child process that did not
use it.
> - The migration check and server therefore continued to use the
default Paperclip home.
> - This pull request applies the data root before worktree setup and
migration checks.
> - The benefit is an isolated database and state root for each
requested development run.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #7466
## What Changed
- Parse and consume `--data-dir`, `--data-dir=<path>`, and `-d` in the
development runner.
- Set isolated default home, config, and context paths before worktree
setup and migration checks.
- Keep explicit config and context paths unchanged.
- Include the normalized data root in the local service identity.
- Let `dev:list` and `dev:stop` select the matching isolated service
registry.
- Keep explicit option environments independent of ambient process
instance values.
- Add regression tests and development documentation.
## Verification
- `PAPERCLIP_INSTANCE_ID=ambient-test-instance pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/dev-runner-options.test.ts` passes with 8 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils build` passes.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm build` passes.
- `pnpm dev:list --data-dir ./tmp/dev-service-review-fixture` selects
the isolated registry.
- A live run of `pnpm dev --data-dir ./tmp/data-dir-pr-smoke` became
healthy on port 3101 while another checkout used port 3100.
- The live run used `./tmp/data-dir-pr-smoke/instances/default/db` on a
separate PostgreSQL port.
- The latest-head Linux CI matrix passes, including build, typecheck,
canary, all general and serialized test shards, and all e2e shards.
- `pnpm test:run` was attempted on macOS. Current `master` has unrelated
workspace path failures because `/tmp` resolves to `/private/tmp`. The
focused regression suite passes, and the full Linux matrix is green.
## Risks
- Risk is low. The change only affects development runs that pass
`--data-dir` and matching service-management commands.
- Explicit `PAPERCLIP_CONFIG` and `PAPERCLIP_CONTEXT` values still take
priority.

## Model Used

its context window size.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandbox agents use adapter login routes to start authenticated
sessions
> - The setup-token start route accepted adapter types that later routes
and cleanup did not serve
> - This mismatch could create sessions that no route or reaper could
reach
> - The OpenAPI body schema and synchronous login capability defaults
also differed from the enforced behavior
> - This pull request pins the start guard to the served adapter, shares
the adapter constant, aligns the schema, and exposes login capabilities
early
> - The benefit is consistent session access, cleanup, API
documentation, and login UI behavior
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs: #11730
Refs: #11286
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting server and UI login behavior.
**Problem or motivation**
The setup-token start route accepted a non-served adapter type.
Follow-up routes and the reaper only handled the served adapter. This
could create an unreachable session that held its slot. The OpenAPI
schema and early capability defaults also did not match the route
behavior.
**Proposed solution**
Pin the start guard, follow-up key, and reaper filter to one exported
served-adapter constant. Derive the OpenAPI body from the strict shared
schema. Add the login capability projection to synchronous defaults.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep separate adapter constants and add another guard at each follow-up
route. This would preserve duplicate sources of truth and leave future
drift possible.
**Roadmap alignment**
This change supports the Cloud / Sandbox agents milestone in
`ROADMAP.md`.
## What Changed
- Reject a setup-token start request when its adapter type is not the
served adapter.
- Reuse one exported adapter constant for the start guard, follow-up
key, and reaper filter.
- Derive the company adapter login-sessions start body from the strict
shared schema.
- Add the `login` capability projection to the synchronous Claude and
Codex adapter defaults.
- Add regression coverage for the rejected non-served adapter request.
## Verification
- The setup-token route suite passes, including the non-served adapter
regression test.
- The setup-token session-service suite passes.
- The setup-token reaper suite passes.
- The OpenAPI suite passes.
- The server TypeScript check passes.
- The UI TypeScript check passes.
- GitHub Actions must confirm all required checks after pull request
creation.
## Risks
The start route now rejects adapter types that follow-up routes cannot
serve. No database migration exists. Revert the one commit to roll back
the change.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, exact runtime model ID not exposed, large context
window, reasoning, tool use, and code execution. The implementing
engineer used AI assistance.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The web UI registers a service worker (`/sw.js`) that caches the app
shell for an offline fallback.
> - Browsers only re-fetch a worker script on navigation or a ~24h
timer, and Paperclip is a parked-tab SPA: a tab can sit open for weeks
without one navigation.
> - An installed worker — and the shell it cached — can therefore keep
serving an old bundle long after a deploy, and the server let `sw.js`
inherit the generic 1h static TTL on top of that.
> - This pull request adds explicit update checks (tab-visible +
hourly), applies a discovered update with one reload while the tab is
hidden, and serves `sw.js` with `Cache-Control: no-cache`.
> - The benefit is that a deploy reaches every open tab within about an
hour, instead of some tabs silently running stale UI indefinitely.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11292 (the network-first `sw.js` fallback fix; this PR closes the
delivery gap that can keep clients pinned on a pre-#11292 worker).
**What happened?**
A browser that had an older cache-first worker installed kept rendering
a stale app shell — old feature set, old naming — while the server was
verified to be running the current release. Nothing on the client checks
for a new worker outside navigations, so a parked tab never picked up
the fixed worker, and `sw.js` was served with a 1h cache TTL that
further delayed update checks.
**Expected behavior**
Every open tab converges to the deployed bundle shortly after a release,
without users unregistering workers in DevTools or hard-reloading.
**Steps to reproduce**
Install a build's service worker, deploy a newer build, and leave the
tab parked (no navigation): the tab keeps running the old bundle
indefinitely; the worker update check only happens if the user
navigates, and even then a cached `sw.js` can answer it.
## What Changed
- New `ui/src/lib/service-worker-updates.ts`: registers `/sw.js`, runs
`registration.update()` when the tab becomes visible and on an hourly
timer, and on `controllerchange` of a previously-controlled page applies
the update with a single reload — only while the tab is hidden, so an
update never yanks the page mid-session; a takeover while visible defers
the reload to the next hidden transition. First-ever installs never
reload.
- `ui/src/main.tsx`: replaces the fire-and-forget `register()` with the
new module.
- New `server/src/static-ui-cache.ts` (`staticUiCacheControl`):
`index.html` and `sw.js` are served `Cache-Control: no-cache`; other
non-hashed statics keep the 1h default. `server/src/app.ts` uses it in
the static middleware.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run ui/src/lib/service-worker-updates.test.ts` — 8 tests:
registration, hidden-takeover reload (once), deferred reload on visible
takeover, no reload on first install, visibility-triggered and
timer-triggered update checks, cleanup, no-container no-op.
- `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/static-ui-cache.test.ts` — 3
tests incl. the `sw.js.map` lookalike keeping the default TTL.
- `tsc -b` (ui) and `tsc --noEmit` (server) clean; `pnpm check:tokens`
clean.
## Risks
- Behavioral shift: tabs now reload once, while hidden, after a deploy
lands. Unsaved in-page state in a hidden tab is lost at that moment —
the same exposure as a browser discarding a background tab, which SPAs
must already tolerate.
- Self-hosted behavior is otherwise unchanged: same worker script, same
registration URL, one added conditional header.
- Low risk on the server side: the header change only widens
revalidation.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The app can run self-hosted or as a cloud-managed instance, where a
hosting platform provisions the instance with its company already
materialized (the existing `isCloudManagedInstance()` predicate and
`cloud_managed` floors)
> - The company Import/Export surface lets an operator materialize whole
companies from an export bundle; on a cloud-managed instance this
bypasses the existing `cloud_managed` company-creation floor and
conflicts with platform-owned provisioning
> - Importing should be disabled on cloud-managed instances, while
export stays open as the data-portability escape hatch
> - This pull request floors every import route with 403
`code=cloud_managed` on cloud-managed instances and hides the Import UI
there, using the existing predicate and the established floor pattern
> - It also extends the operator-hidden settings registry with keys for
every top-level company settings page, so a hosting operator can hide
any of them with `PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS` alone next time
> - The benefit is one consistent managed-instance policy: cloud-managed
instances cannot import companies, self-hosted installs keep the full
import surface unchanged
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists; the underlying problem follows the enhancement
template.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The company import surface (`/api/companies/import*`,
`/api/companies/:companyId/imports/*`) and its UI entry points on
cloud-managed instances.
**Subsystem affected**
Server routes (`server/src/routes/companies.ts`) and UI navigation/pages
(settings sidebar, settings tabs, org chart, `/company/import` route).
**Current behavior**
A cloud-managed instance floors direct company creation (`POST
/api/companies` answers 403 `cloud_managed`), but the import routes
still accept company bundles, so an import can materialize companies the
hosting platform did not provision. The UI offers Import entry points
that lead to a surface that is not available on cloud-managed instances.
**Proposed behavior**
On instances where `isCloudManagedInstance()` is true, every import
route answers 403 `code=cloud_managed` before auth and body work, and
the Import UI (sidebar entry, settings tab, org-chart button,
`/company/import` route) is hidden or redirected. Export remains fully
available. Self-hosted instances are unchanged.
**Reason and benefit**
Cloud-managed instances keep one consistent provisioning authority, and
users do not see an Import surface that dead-ends in a 403.
## What Changed
- `server/src/routes/companies.ts`: a router-level floor mounted at the
`/import` and `/:companyId/imports` prefixes. It covers the single-shot
upload, preview, job polling, chunked transfer
declare/part-upload/status/preview/apply, and the agent-safe per-company
import routes. It throws `forbidden(..., { code: "cloud_managed" })` on
cloud-managed instances, or `403 settings_operator_managed` when the
operator hides `company.import` — both before auth and body validation,
mirroring the company-creation floor.
- `packages/shared/src/settings-visibility.ts`: new
`HIDEABLE_COMPANY_PAGES` registry group — `company.members`,
`company.invites`, `company.secrets`, `company.export`, `company.import`
— with a `hidesCompanyPage` helper. The company General page stays
non-hideable (settings root). `company.import` floors its API; the other
keys are UI-visibility only, as documented in the registry, so
membership/invite/secret/export APIs stay live for agents.
- `ui/src/components/CloudManagedPageGate.tsx` (new): route gate that
redirects cloud-managed instances to `/company/settings`, modeled on
`HiddenSettingsPageGate`.
- `ui/src/App.tsx`: wraps the `company/import` route in
`CloudManagedPageGate`.
- `ui/src/components/CompanySettingsSidebar.tsx`,
`ui/src/components/access/CompanySettingsNav.tsx`,
`ui/src/pages/OrgChart.tsx`: hide the Import entry points when
`useCloudInstance()` reports a managed instance, and honor the new
`company.*` hidden-settings keys for every company page entry (sidebar
item, tab, org-chart buttons).
- `ui/src/App.tsx`: `HiddenSettingsPageGate` route gates for the members
(incl. the legacy access route), invites, secrets, export, and import
pages under their `company.*` keys.
- `docs/deploy/environment-variables.md`: documents the new keys and
their semantics; the CLI and board-operator guides note that import is
unavailable on cloud-managed instances.
- Tests: new `server/src/__tests__/company-import-cloud-floor.test.ts`
and `ui/src/components/CloudManagedPageGate.test.tsx`, registry cases in
`packages/shared/src/settings-visibility.test.ts`, plus cloud and
hidden-key cases in the sidebar, settings-nav, and org-chart suites.
## Verification
- TypeScript typechecks pass for every workspace package (`tsc` in
shared, server, ui; the runner's Rust leg needs a local cargo toolchain
and is covered by CI).
- `pnpm test` on this branch fails only in 9 files that also fail on a
clean `origin/master` checkout on the same machine
(environment-dependent suites: live-listener probes,
workspace/native-runtime spawns, skill materialization). Zero
branch-only failures against that baseline; every suite touched by this
change passes.
- `server/src/__tests__/company-import-cloud-floor.test.ts` asserts:
every import route answers 403 `cloud_managed` under the server-token
signal; the managed-config signal alone also floors; every import route
answers 403 `settings_operator_managed` when `company.import` is hidden;
hiding other company pages leaves import open; the floor applies before
auth and body validation; export stays open on cloud-managed instances;
self-hosted import preview and job polling still work.
- `packages/shared/src/settings-visibility.test.ts` covers the new
`company.*` keys and `hidesCompanyPage`.
- UI suites assert the Import tab, sidebar entry, and org-chart button
disappear on a cloud-managed instance while Export stays, that
`/company/import` redirects through the gate, and that the `company.*`
keys hide their sidebar entries and tabs.
## Risks
- Low risk for self-hosted installs: the floor is inert unless a cloud
signal (`PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_TENANT_SERVER_TOKEN` or
`PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG`) is present, and the self-hosted paths are
regression-tested.
- On cloud-managed instances this is a deliberate behavioral removal:
import (including agent-driven safe imports and resumable transfers)
stops working the moment an instance runs this build. In-flight chunked
transfers on such instances cannot be applied afterward; they answer
403.
- CLI import commands against a cloud-managed instance now fail with the
`cloud_managed` error; the message names the reason.
- The new `company.*` keys change nothing unless an operator sets them:
`PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS` unset keeps behavior identical, and older
images ignore unknown keys by design. The four non-import company keys
hide UI only; their APIs stay live, which the registry documents
explicitly.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Sandbox adapters stage project files before an agent starts.
> - Referenced projects ignored Git-ignored paths and copied large local
directories.
> - This behavior increased staging time and disk use, and it differed
from anchor workspaces.
> - This pull request resolves Git-ignored paths once and shares that

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this bug.
**What happened?**
Referenced-project staging copied Git-ignored paths, except for a fixed
list of heavy directory names. A large repository therefore used much
more time and disk space than the same repository in an anchor
workspace.
**Expected behavior**
Referenced-project staging should exclude the same Git-ignored paths
that the workspace staging path excludes.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a referenced project with a large Git-ignored directory.
2. Start a sandbox or SSH run that stages the referenced project.
3. Observe that the ignored directory enters the staged content.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit `9964b034bbff24e700c8eccf5a8b1fc3daa44bf2`.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source.
## What Changed
- Resolve each referenced project's Git-ignored paths once before
staging.
- Carry the resolved paths as a required field on
`SandboxAdditionalSource`.
- Reuse the resolved paths in sandbox staging, SSH staging, and
content-signature code.
- Harden the read-only Git helper with a bounded process, a reduced
environment, and disabled system and global configuration.
- Fail closed on Git errors, timeouts, and invalid path relations.
- Escape tar glob metacharacters in ignore-derived exclude entries.
- Add and update unit tests for the resolver and its three consumers.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run --config packages/adapter-utils/vitest.config.ts`
passes 266 tests locally.
- `pnpm exec tsc --noEmit -p packages/adapter-utils/tsconfig.json`
passes locally.
- CI must pass on this pull request.
- Greptile must report 5/5 with no unresolved comments before merge.
## Risks
- A Git error or timeout now prevents staging for the affected
referenced project.
- The resolver uses a bounded read-only Git process and fails closed by
design.
- The change stays inside `packages/adapter-utils` and does not change
the database schema.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11962
Refs #12111
Refs #12169
Refs #12176
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. The change affects the runner package, server
orchestration, shared settings, and adapter configuration UI.
**Problem or motivation**
The hidden PRP coordinator cannot execute a real heartbeat. The
application also needs an explicit rollout boundary before it can expose
the experimental runner. Existing direct adapters must keep their
current execution and finalization behavior.
**Proposed solution**
Add `paperclip_runner` as a Codex-only adapter behind the default-off
`enableNativeRunner` instance flag. Select the native runtime only for
that adapter. Persist the run binding before runnerd starts. Wait for
the durable PRP result and terminal event. Resume the real Codex
provider thread on later heartbeats. Keep persisted native runs readable
and recoverable after the flag changes.
**Alternatives considered**
The server could route `codex_local` through runnerd. That option would
change an existing adapter and weaken rollback safety. The server could
expose all providers now. That option would add unreviewed provider
behavior. The build could depend on a prebuilt runner binary. That
option would make source builds architecture-dependent and difficult to
verify.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports the shipped enforced-outcomes, governed-tool, and
self-healing-run milestones. It does not add a new roadmap surface. It
is the guarded execution step after the merged hidden runner boundaries.
**Additional context**
This is the next replacement for the closed large runner pull request.
Task-thread presentation remains a separate follow-up so this change can
preserve the current direct-adapter UI.
## What Changed
- Add `paperclip_runner` as an explicit Codex-only adapter.
- Add the default-off `enableNativeRunner` instance flag.
- Reject fresh create, hire, import, switch, and execution requests
while the flag is off.
- Allow edits to persisted runner agents while the flag is off.
- Recover an already persisted native run even after the flag is
disabled.
- Keep every built-in direct adapter on its existing runtime path.
- Persist an immutable native run binding and revisioned completion
contract before runnerd starts.
- Execute server to PRP to runnerd to Codex to server through the hidden
coordinator.
- Validate the durable result against the terminal event and exact
completion criteria before finalization.
- Preserve the Codex provider thread ID and use `thread/resume` on the
next heartbeat.
- Strip unsupported Codex configuration fields from the experimental
adapter.
- Build a target-native release runner binary from source and vendor it
into the server distribution.
- Install Rust only in the Docker build stage. Do not add a workflow or
lockfile change.
- Stop the runner process group on completion, cancellation, and forced
shutdown.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all`. All 69
TypeScript tests and 58 Rust tests pass. Protocol, conformance, replay,
formatting, and generated-file checks pass.
- Run the 12 focused adapter, settings, runtime-selection, coordinator,
direct-isolation, and real Codex integration test files. All 186 tests
pass.
- The real integration test uses PostgreSQL, HTTP, WebSocket, runnerd,
and a fake Codex app server. It proves one `thread/start` followed by
one `thread/resume`.
- Run `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Run `pnpm build`.
- Run `pnpm check:token-gates`.
- Build the Docker `build` target from a clean context. Confirm that the
server distribution contains an executable `paperclip-runnerd` built
with Debian Rust 1.85.
- Start the server through the source-mode tsx entry point with the
package `dist` directory absent. Confirm the vendor shim resolves source
exports and the server boots.
- Run `pnpm test:run` twice. On this macOS host, 405 files pass and 1
file skips. Eight untouched workspace and loopback tests fail because
macOS resolves `/tmp` and `/var` through `/private` and because
PID-derived test ports exceed 65535. Linux CI must pass the full suite.
- Confirm that the diff contains 52 files. Confirm that it contains no
`.github` or `pnpm-lock.yaml` change.
## Risks
- The feature flag is off by default. A fresh native start fails with a
stable error while the flag is off.
- A persisted native run remains recoverable after the flag changes.
This prevents rollout changes from corrupting recorded work.
- Only local Codex execution is accepted. Other providers and remote
work modes fail closed.
- Existing direct adapters do not start runnerd, create native rows, use
native status arbitration, or enter native finalization.
- The runner receives its one-use bootstrap ticket through the child
environment. The server does not put the ticket in command arguments or
logs.
- The server validates the company, task, agent, run, runner, session,
completion contract, result, and terminal binding before it accepts
completion.
- The build compiles a target-native Rust binary. Cross-platform release
packaging remains a later concern. Source builds and Docker builds
compile for their current target.
- Docker needs enough build memory for the existing server TypeScript
compile. The Docker build stage sets a 4 GB V8 heap limit.

discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex with GPT-5. The exact deployment ID and context-window
size are not exposed. The model used agentic reasoning, repository
tools, code execution, and test execution.

work

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A company skill whose runtime files fail to materialize (deleted source,
missing stored SKILL.md copy, failed version snapshot) disappears from
`listRuntimeSkillEntries` with no trace. Agent skill snapshots report a
generic "not available" with no cause. On claude-local, a desired skill
whose source path does not exist reaches the prompt-bundle hasher, whose
`fs.lstat` throws and can fail the whole run.
**Expected behavior**
The skill appears with `sourceStatus: "missing"` and a `missingDetail`
carrying the underlying error, snapshots and the UI show it as broken,
and adapters skip it at mount time with a logged warning instead of
crashing or dangling-symlinking.
**Steps to reproduce**
Install a local-path skill referenced by an agent, delete its source
directory contents so the stored SKILL.md copy cannot be recovered, and
start a run: before this change the skill vanishes from the runtime set
silently; on claude-local a pinned-but-unmaterializable version can fail
bundle preparation.
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/company-skills.ts` `resolveRuntimeSkillSource`:
both `.catch(() => null)` sites (version snapshot, runtime
materialization) now return the structured `{status: "missing", source,
detail}` shape the deliberate missing branch already used, with the
underlying error message in `detail`.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.ts`:
`isPaperclipSkillSourceMissing` is exported with a doc comment.
- `packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/execute.ts`: missing
desired skills are filtered out of the prompt bundle and each one logs a
`[paperclip] Warning` with its detail to the run output.
- `cursor-local`, `gemini-local`, `kimi-local`, `opencode-local`,
`pi-local` `execute.ts`: mount loops (and the cursor/gemini injection
calls) skip missing entries instead of symlinking a nonexistent path.
## Verification
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/company-skills-service.test.ts` — new test pins the
missing-with-cause entry for a failed materialization. Nine pre-existing
project-workspace tests in this file fail on my machine at clean
`master` too (environment-specific); their count is unchanged by this
PR.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-runtime-skills.test.ts
src/__tests__/claude-local-skill-sync.test.ts
src/__tests__/cursor-local-skill-sync.test.ts
src/__tests__/cursor-local-skill-injection.test.ts
src/__tests__/gemini-local-skill-sync.test.ts` — 12 tests pass.
- `cd packages/adapters/claude-local && npx vitest run` — 244 passed, 1
skipped.
- `pnpm run typecheck` clean in server, adapter-utils, and all six
touched adapters.
## Risks
- Runtime skill entry lists grow by the previously dropped entries (now
flagged missing). All shipped consumers either intersect with desired
sets, already handle `sourceStatus: "missing"`, or now skip missing
entries at mount time. The snapshot layer already understood the missing
shape via the `materializeMissing: false` path, so downstream contracts
are unchanged.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Importing a company package as a new company takes the company name
from the package manifest
> - Repeat imports of the same package therefore create several
identically named companies, distinguishable only by issue prefix
> - Users cannot tell which import they are looking at, which feeds the

(3)", … on collision, while honoring explicitly typed names verbatim
> - The benefit is that every imported company has a recognizable name
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Naming of companies created by the company package import.
**Subsystem affected**
Server — company import (`server/src/services/company-portability.ts`).
**Current behavior**
The new-company branch uses `newCompanyName ?? manifest name ??
"Imported Company"` with no de-duplication. Only the issue prefix is
unique. Three imports of the same package yield three companies with the
same name.
**Proposed behavior**
When the name comes from the manifest (no explicit `newCompanyName`),
the import checks existing company names case-insensitively and appends
the first free " (N)" suffix. Explicit names remain honored verbatim.
Name exhaustion (thousands of collisions) falls back to the base name
rather than failing the import, since names carry no uniqueness
invariant.
**Breaking changes**
None. Only the default name of newly imported companies changes, and
only on collision.
## What Changed
- New exported pure helper `dedupeImportedCompanyName(baseName,
existingNames)`.
- The new-company branch resolves the name through it when no explicit
name was provided, reading existing names via `companyService.list()`.
## Verification
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts` — 87 tests pass (new: pure
helper cases and two `importBundle` tests for the suffixed manifest name
and the honored explicit name).
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/company-portability-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/company-portability-import-batching.test.ts` — 44 passed,
1 skipped (pre-existing skip).
- `cd server && pnpm run typecheck` — clean.
## Risks
- Low risk. The check-then-create has a theoretical race with a
concurrent import, but names have no unique constraint — the worst case
is today's behavior (a duplicate name). Issue-prefix uniqueness is
untouched.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Chunked company-import transfers are deduplicated by content: a
byte-identical zip that already finished an apply is rejected

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The `alreadyCompleted` rejection when re-declaring a chunked
company-import transfer.
**Subsystem affected**
Shared transfer contract
(`packages/shared/src/company-import-transfer.ts`), transfer declaration
route (`server/src/routes/companies.ts`), web import page, CLI import
command.
**Current behavior**
`POST /api/companies/import/transfers` returns `alreadyCompleted: true`
with no pointer to the earlier import. Web and CLI raise "This exact
package was already imported by a completed transfer. Re-export the
package to import it again."
**Proposed behavior**
The response includes an optional `company` field (`{id, name,
issuePrefix} | null`) resolved from the completed run's company link.
Web and CLI raise a shared message: `… It created the company
"Paperclip" (PAPA) — open it from the company switcher. Re-export the
package to import it again.` A company that was deleted since (or a link
that was never written) degrades to `null` and the original message.
**Breaking changes**
None. The new response field is optional; old clients ignore it.
## What Changed
- `CompanyImportTransferCreated` gains optional `company`, plus a shared
`buildAlreadyImportedMessage` used by both clients.
- The declaration route's `alreadyCompleted` branch resolves the landed
company null-safely via `companyService.getById`.
- Web (`ui/src/pages/CompanyImport.tsx`) and CLI
(`cli/src/commands/client/company.ts`) raise the shared message.
## Verification
- `cd packages/shared && npx vitest run
src/company-import-transfer.test.ts` — 3 tests (named company, id
fallback, no-company original message).
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/company-import-transfer-routes.test.ts` — 24 tests; the
re-declaration test now asserts the company payload and the
deleted-company null path.
- `cd cli && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/company-import-transfer.test.ts` — 17 tests; new test pins
the named-company message.
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/pages/CompanyImport.test.tsx` — 23 tests.
- `pnpm run typecheck` clean in shared, server, ui, cli.
## Risks
- Low risk. The lookup runs only on the `alreadyCompleted` branch and is
null-safe; the transfer run is already scoped to the requesting actor
(user + instance context in the actor key), so the response never names
a company the caller did not import.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Company import parks every imported agent as a safety default, and
issue assignment wakes are dropped for paused agents
> - The pause was recorded as the generic reason "system" and was almost
invisible: the chat-style task thread showed nothing, the legacy notice
had no action, and the new-task dialog gave no hint
> - Users assigned tasks in an imported company, nothing ran, and there
was no explanation — the imported company looked broken
> - This pull request records a dedicated "import" pause reason and
makes the paused state visible and fixable where the user is looking
> - The benefit is that a silent no-op becomes an explained state with a
one-click resume
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Working with a company whose agents arrived paused from a company
import.
**Subsystem affected**
Shared constants (`PAUSE_REASONS`), company import service
(`server/src/services/company-portability.ts`), task thread and new-task
dialog UI.
**Current behavior**
Imported agents get `pauseReason: "system"`, the same value
plugin-managed and built-in agent pauses use. Assigning an issue to a
paused agent silently drops the wake. The chat-style task thread renders
no paused notice; the legacy thread's notice says "It was paused by the
system." with no action and only renders when the composer is shown.
**Proposed behavior**
Import writes `pauseReason: "import"`. The paused-assignee notice
explains the import pause, offers an inline "Resume agent" button
(suppressed for budget pauses, which clear on their own), and renders
for read-only viewers. The chat-style task thread shows the same notice
above the composer. The new-task dialog warns when the selected assignee
is paused.
**Breaking changes**
None. `PAUSE_REASONS` is widened, not changed; the column already stores
free-text values in other paths, and every consumer is an equality check
with a manual fallback, so an older client shows the generic fallback
copy for the new value.
## What Changed
- `packages/shared/src/constants.ts`: `"import"` added to
`PAUSE_REASONS`.
- `server/src/services/company-portability.ts`: the import pause patch
writes `pauseReason: "import"`.
- `ui/src/components/IssueChatThread.tsx`: `IssueAssigneePausedNotice`
gains import copy, a Resume button, test ids, and is exported; it now
renders even when the composer is hidden. New `onResumeAssignee` /
`resumeAssigneePending` props.
- `ui/src/components/TaskChatThread.tsx`: renders the paused-assignee
notice above the composer dock (the chat-style thread previously had no
paused surface at all).
- `ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.tsx`: wires a resume mutation
(`agentsApi.resume`) through both thread variants and invalidates the
company agent list.
- `ui/src/components/NewIssueDialog.tsx`: inline note when the chosen
assignee is paused, with import-specific copy.
## Verification
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts` — 82 tests pass (pause pin
updated to `"import"`).
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/IssueChatThread.test.tsx
src/components/NewIssueDialog.test.tsx
src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx` — 120 tests pass (new: notice
copy per reason, resume click, budget suppression, active-agent null
render, dialog note).
- `pnpm run typecheck` in `packages/shared`, `server`, and `ui` — clean.
## Risks
- Low risk. The resume action calls the existing `POST
/agents/:id/resume` route with its existing guards. Existing rows keep
`"system"` and fall back to the current generic copy; only new imports
write `"import"`.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Each agent's runtime only receives skills listed in its own
desired-skill set; the company library alone does nothing for an agent
> - Every CEO creation path (first-run wizard hire, New Agent
first-agent flow, cloud onboarding seed) creates the CEO with an empty
desired-skill set
> - The default CEO instructions tell the agent to use the core
paperclip skills, so a fresh CEO contradicts its own instructions and
reports its toolkit as "not installed"
> - This pull request unions the core skill keys into every
skills-capable CEO hire/create and into the onboarding-seeded CEO's
adapter config
> - The benefit is that a new CEO can actually do what its instructions
describe, and stops telling users that installed skills do not exist
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Creating the first lead agent (role `ceo`) via hire, create, or the
cloud onboarding seed.
**Subsystem affected**
Server — agent hire/create routes (`server/src/routes/agents.ts`),
onboarding seed (`server/src/services/onboarding-seed.ts`), company
skills service constant (`server/src/services/company-skills.ts`).
**Current behavior**
A CEO created by the wizard, the New Agent page, or the onboarding seed
has no `paperclipSkillSync` block. Its runtime mounts zero skills. Its
default instructions (`server/src/onboarding-assets/ceo/AGENTS.md`,
`HEARTBEAT.md`) tell it to use `paperclip-create-agent`,
`para-memory-files`, and the paperclip coordination skill. The agent
then reports these skills as not installed.
**Proposed behavior**
When the new agent's role is `ceo` and its adapter supports skill sync,
the hire and create routes union the five bundled
`paperclipai/paperclip/*` skill keys into the requested desired-skill
set. The onboarding seed writes the same preference into the seeded
CEO's adapter config. Explicit requests win over defaults for the same
key. Non-CEO agents are unchanged. Any default stays removable through
`POST /agents/:id/skills/sync`.
**Breaking changes**
None. The default is additive, applies only to role `ceo` on
skills-capable adapters, and the bundled skills are guaranteed present
in every company library by `ensureSkillInventoryCurrent`.
## What Changed
- New exported constant `PAPERCLIP_CORE_SKILL_KEYS` in
`server/src/services/company-skills.ts` (the five bundled
`paperclipai/paperclip/*` keys).
- `defaultRoleSkillSelections` + `withDefaultRoleSkillSelections`
helpers in `server/src/routes/agents.ts`, applied in both the hire and
create routes before `resolveDesiredSkillAssignment(..., "add")`.
- `server/src/services/onboarding-seed.ts` builds the seeded CEO's
adapter config with `writePaperclipSkillSyncPreference` instead of `{}`
when the seeded adapter supports skills.
## Verification
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/agent-skills-routes.test.ts` — 32 tests pass (three new:
CEO default set, union with a requested skill, non-CEO untouched).
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/onboarding-seed-route.test.ts` — 14 tests pass (seeded CEO
adapter config assertion added).
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/agent-permissions-routes.test.ts` — 54 tests pass.
- `cd server && pnpm run typecheck` — clean.
## Risks
- Existing CEOs are not modified; only newly created ones get the
defaults. An operator who wants a minimal CEO can remove the skills
after creation with the skills sync (mode `remove`), and that removal
sticks. Adapters without skill support are skipped, so the change is
inert there.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip routes plugin worker messages to agent sessions.

open reply.
> - `readline` can deliver later frames from the same pipe read before
that reply continuation runs.
> - The host dropped early output and exit frames.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#12122
## What Changed
- Add a bounded queue for login pseudo-terminal output and exit frames
during route opening.
- Validate session ids, chunk types, and per-chunk limits before queue
insertion.
- Bound the queue by 10,000 frames and 8 MiB of characters.
- Charge retained worker session identifiers against the character
bound.
- Preserve arrival order and stop replay after the first valid exit.
- Drop repeated exits without changing the first exit position or code.
- Bound the repeat-exit lookup and clear queued state on all terminal
paths.
- Add regression tests and fixture support for coalesced frames,
ordering, limits, cleanup, and log safety.
- Pin issue numbers in the child-wake test so its expected child order
remains deterministic.
## Verification
- Build the plugin SDK with `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk
build`.
- Run `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/plugin-worker-manager.test.ts` from the repository
root.
- Run `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts` from
the repository root.
- The focused plugin worker suite passes 66 of 66 tests at the prior
reviewed head.
- The issue service file passes 120 of 120 tests in two isolated runs at
the current head.
- Confirm that GitHub Actions passes all required checks.
- Confirm that Greptile reports 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.
- Storybook visual regression remains skipped because the PR has no
`storybook-visual` label.
## Risks
- The queue adds bounded memory use while the login pseudo-terminal
route opens.
- A queue limit breach closes the route and prevents unbounded
buffering.
- A hostile worker can fail only its own login route when it breaches a
bound.
- The first valid exit closes the route, so later records do not reach
the session.
- The child-wake test now uses distinct issue numbers to match the
service sort contract.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, extended reasoning, tool use, and code review
support. The runtime does not expose a separate context-window value.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Paperclip Runner needs a narrow server trust boundary before an
adapter can start it.
> - The package has durable runner transport, but the server does not
host or authorize that transport.
> - Native persistence exists, but no writer connects PRP events to
those records.
> - A direct adapter must not enter this path by accident.

unavailable to normal execution.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11962
Refs #12129
Refs #12169
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. The change affects the runner package and server
orchestration.
**Problem or motivation**
The server cannot authenticate runnerd, commit PRP events before ACK,
authorize semantic tools, or enter native finalization from a durable
runner result. The application must have this hidden boundary before a
guarded adapter can use the runner.
**Proposed solution**
Add an authenticated PRP WebSocket authority and register it only for
one exact persisted native Codex run. Bind each connection and event to
the company, issue, agent, run, runner, session, turn, item, and
verified runner identity. Commit each event before its cumulative ACK.
Project only authorized same-task read tools. Rebuild the accepted
result and finalization record from durable result and terminal events.
**Alternatives considered**
The server could expose a broad runner API key or route semantic calls
through existing adapter endpoints. Those options grant too much
authority and weaken replay recovery. The server could also add the
user-facing adapter in this pull request. That option would mix rollout
selection with the transport trust boundary and make legacy
compatibility harder to review.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports the shipped enforced-outcomes, governed-tool, and
self-healing-run milestones. It does not add a new roadmap surface.
## What Changed
- Add the durable PRP server authority with one-use bootstrap tickets,
reconnect leases, encrypted frames, bounded state, cumulative ACKs, and
idempotent commands.
- Add `/api/runner/v1/connect/:runId`. Derive its `ws://` or `wss://`
URL from the configured Paperclip API URL.
- Register one authority only after the coordinator verifies the
complete native Codex run binding.
- Commit validated PRP events to `heartbeat_run_events` before ACK.
Reject source gaps and conflicting replays.
- Rebuild accepted results and finalization records from durable result
and terminal events. Enforce finalization owner leases and retry times.
- Project five same-task read operations. Recheck run, agent, task, and
company authority for each call.
- Keep the route hidden. No adapter selects this coordinator, and no
code starts runnerd.
- Vendor the compiled runner TypeScript runtime into the server package
while keeping the workspace package development-only for the server.
- Document the package, database writer, run-log payload, and credential
exclusions.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all`. All
TypeScript protocol checks and 69 Vitest tests pass, including
commit-before-ACK crash recovery. All 43 Rust unit tests and 13 Rust
integration tests pass. Conformance and replay parity pass.
- Run the focused server WebSocket, coordinator, package-build, and
startup-wiring suites. All 26 tests pass, including a clean-checkout
reproduction with the runner `dist` directory absent.
- Run `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Run `pnpm test:run`.
- Run `pnpm build`.
- Confirm that the diff contains 19 files. Confirm that it contains no
workflow or `pnpm-lock.yaml` change.
## Risks
- The server installs the WebSocket route at startup. An unregistered or
malformed run path fails closed and creates no native record.
- Bootstrap tickets are one use. The private state directory uses mode
`0700`, and the state file uses mode `0600`. The file stores derived
authentication verifiers and never stores raw tickets or lease tokens.
- The journal has explicit frame, command, event-window, and file-size
bounds. A bound violation closes the runner connection or rejects the
command.
- A runner event reaches the database before its ACK. A crash between
event commit and ACK causes a byte-equivalent replay, not a second
logical effect.
- The coordinator accepts only an existing queued or running native
Codex row with exact company, task, agent, runner, session, and
completion-contract ownership.
- Existing direct adapters do not call this service. They keep their
current execution, transcript, result, and finalization paths.
- The server has no production dependency on the private runner package.
Its build copies the compiled runtime into `server/dist`; the workspace
link is development-only. This adds no external package and does not
change the lockfile.

<h2>v1.7.0</h2>
<p><strong>Blog post:</strong> <a
href="https://better-auth.com/blog/1-7">Better Auth 1.7</a></p>
<h2><code>better-auth</code></h2>
<h3>❗ Breaking Changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>Moved database joins out of <code>experimental</code> into the
stable <code>advanced.database.joins</code> option (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/10359">#10359</a>)
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Migration:</strong> Replace <code>experimental: { joins: true
}</code> with <code>advanced: { database: { joins: true } }</code>.
Drizzle and Prisma users should regenerate their schema (<code>npx
auth@latest generate</code>) so it includes the required relations.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>Scoped account identity by trusted issuer, keying accounts on
<code>(issuer, accountId)</code> (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/10403">#10403</a>)
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Migration:</strong> Accounts now require
<code>Account.issuer</code>. Read provider identity from
<code>accountInfo.account.accountId</code>, drop <code>mapping.id</code>
from SSO configs, and give the <code>microsoftEntraId</code> helper a
concrete tenant GUID. Apply the account-identity backfill in the 1.7
upgrade guide before deploying.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>Required captcha endpoint entries to match full auth paths, with
wildcard support (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/10004">#10004</a>)
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Migration:</strong> Replace partial paths such as
<code>/sign-in</code> with explicit wildcards like
<code>/sign-in/*</code> or <code>/sign-in/**</code>.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>Moved the MCP plugin into its own <code>@better-auth/mcp</code>
package built on the OAuth provider (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/9992">#9992</a>)
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Migration:</strong> Install <code>@better-auth/mcp</code> and
<code>@better-auth/cimd</code>, add the now-required <code>jwt()</code>
plugin, and move options nested under <code>oidcConfig</code> to flat
<code>mcp({ ... })</code> options. Rename <code>withMcpAuth</code> to
<code>requireMcpAuth</code> and <code>mcpHandler</code> to
<code>createMcpProtectedRequestHandler</code>. Regenerate the schema
(<code>npx auth migrate</code>): <code>oauthApplication</code> becomes
<code>oauthClient</code>, plus new <code>oauthRefreshToken</code> and
<code>oauthClientAssertion</code> tables.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>Added OIDC back-channel logout so ending a session cuts off every
connected app's API access (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/9304">#9304</a>)
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Migration:</strong> Introspecting an access token whose
session has ended now returns <code>{ active: false }</code>, and
<code>/oauth2/userinfo</code> rejects it. Clients opt into notifications
by registering <code>backchannel_logout_uri</code>. Run the schema
migration for the new <code>oauthClient</code> and
<code>oauthAccessToken</code> columns.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>Modeled OAuth protected resources explicitly, with per-resource
TTLs, scopes, claims, and signing pins (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/9648">#9648</a>)
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Migration:</strong> <code>validAudiences</code> is removed:
move each resource identifier into <code>resources</code> and link
restricted clients through <code>oauthClientResource</code>.
<code>@better-auth/mcp</code> now requires an explicit
<code>resource</code>. Run <code>npx @better-auth/cli generate</code>
and apply the migration before deploying.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>Decoupled SCIM provisioning from the organization plugin (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/10390">#10390</a>)
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Migration:</strong> SCIM configuration, client APIs, database
schema, and the Group model are all replaced, and provisioning state
cannot migrate in place. Follow the SCIM cutover in the 1.7 upgrade
guide, including a full directory reprovision, before resuming
traffic.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>Added OTP-only two-factor enablement with a discriminated
<code>enableTwoFactor</code> response (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/9057">#9057</a>)
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Migration:</strong> <code>enableTwoFactor</code> now returns
a <code>method</code> field (<code>"otp"</code> or
<code>"totp"</code>); narrow on it before reading
<code>totpURI</code> and <code>backupCodes</code>. Pass <code>method:
"otp"</code> for OTP enrollment, which requires
<code>otpOptions.sendOTP</code>.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>Resolved the auth origin from <code>Host</code> by default when
using a dynamic <code>baseURL</code> (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/9134">#9134</a>)
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Migration:</strong> If your proxy exposes the public hostname
only through <code>x-forwarded-host</code>, set
<code>advanced.trustedProxyHeaders: true</code>. Deployments where the
proxy rewrites <code>Host</code> (nginx default, Vercel, Cloudflare,
Netlify) are unaffected.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>Added unique lookup indexes for the device authorization
<code>deviceCode</code> and <code>userCode</code> columns (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/10059">#10059</a>)
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Migration:</strong> Resolve duplicate code values before
applying the migration. MySQL and SQL Server installations must also
convert both columns to bounded strings and clean up values longer than
191 characters.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>Enforced S256 PKCE in the Electron sign-in flow and hardened
custom-scheme origin checks (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/9645">#9645</a>)
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Migration:</strong> Upgrade the
<code>@better-auth/electron</code> client and server together and add
your app's scheme to <code>trustedOrigins</code>. The
<code>code_challenge_method</code> parameter and
<code>disableOriginOverride</code> option are removed, and host-bearing
custom-scheme entries now match that host exactly.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>Identified Microsoft Entra accounts by the stable <code>oid</code>
claim (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/10204">#10204</a>)
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Migration:</strong> Migrate existing Microsoft account rows
created from <code>sub</code> before upgrading. Tokens without a valid
<code>oid</code> are rejected.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>Required a Google client ID before Google One Tap verifies ID tokens
(<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/10036">#10036</a>)
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Migration:</strong> Configure <code>oneTap({ clientId
})</code> or <code>socialProviders.google.clientId</code>.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>Removed the deprecated <code>oidcProvider</code> plugin (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/10031">#10031</a>)
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Migration:</strong> Move OIDC authorization-server
integrations to <code>@better-auth/oauth-provider</code>.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>Rewrote the generic OAuth plugin as a first-class social provider
with OAuth 2.1 defaults (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/9069">#9069</a>)
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Migration:</strong> Replace <code>signIn.oauth2({ providerId
})</code> with <code>signIn.social({ provider })</code>,
<code>oauth2.link()</code> with <code>linkSocial()</code>, and drop
<code>genericOAuthClient()</code>. Callbacks move to
<code>/api/auth/callback/:id</code>, <code>pkce</code> now defaults to
<code>true</code>, and <code>issuer</code> and
<code>requireIssuerValidation</code> are removed in favor of OIDC
discovery.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>Separated OAuth device grant ownership into
<code>oauthDeviceAuthorization()</code> (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/10746">#10746</a>)
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Migration:</strong> The OAuth integration replaces the
optional <code>resource</code> column with <code>oauthClientId</code>
and <code>resources</code>, so regenerate and apply the schema. Let
pending device codes expire before upgrading from an earlier 1.7
prerelease.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>Verified provider <code>id_tokens</code> with a single shared
verifier (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/9828">#9828</a>)
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Migration:</strong> Custom <code>UpstreamProvider</code>
implementations replace the removed <code>verifyIdToken</code> method
with an <code>idToken</code> config carrying a JWKS source, issuer, and
audience. PayPal client <code>id_token</code> sign-in now returns
<code>ID_TOKEN_NOT_SUPPORTED</code>; its redirect flow is unchanged.</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Added <code>clientAssertion</code> support to the Microsoft Entra ID
social provider (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/9898">#9898</a>)</li>
<li>Made the <code>Auth</code> instance directly fetchable (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/9431">#9431</a>)</li>
<li>Added per-provider <code>requireEmailVerification</code> for social
sign-in (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/9929">#9929</a>)</li>
<li>Added a <code>user.validateUserInfo</code> gate for rejecting an
identity before a user is created or linked (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/9864">#9864</a>)</li>
<li>Added <code>hydrateSession</code> so <code>useSession</code> returns
server-fetched data on the first render (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/8733">#8733</a>)</li>
<li>Added compound table indexes to plugin database schemas (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/better-auth/better-auth/pull/10402">#10402</a>)</li>

<h2>1.7.0</h2>
<h3>Minor Changes</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<p><a

<a
href="4e8e4c7fc5"><code>4e8e4c7</code></a>
Thanks <a href="https://github.com/bytaesu"><code>@bytaesu</code></a>!
- Add <code>hydrateSession</code> to seed the client with a
server-fetched session so <code>useSession</code> returns data on the
first render.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a

<a
href="0cbaf81bed"><code>0cbaf81</code></a>
Thanks <a
href="https://github.com/gustavovalverde"><code>@gustavovalverde</code></a>!
- Anonymous account linking now works after social and generic OAuth
sign-in in Expo and other in-app browsers, where the OAuth callback
returns without the session cookie. <code>onLinkAccount</code> fires and
the anonymous user is migrated; before, it was silently skipped.</p>
<p>Plugins can now carry server-trusted data across an OAuth redirect
with the new <code>addOAuthServerContext</code> API, read back on the
callback via <code>getOAuthState().serverContext</code>. Unlike
<code>additionalData</code>, it cannot be set from the request body, so
it is the right place for values the server must trust.</p>
<p>For <code>@better-auth/oauth-provider</code>, the post-login
authorization query now travels through that server-only channel, so it
can no longer be injected through <code>additionalData</code>.</p>
</li>

<a
href="b36c38f984"><code>b36c38f</code></a>
Thanks <a href="https://github.com/bytaesu"><code>@bytaesu</code></a>!
- The captcha plugin now requires endpoint entries to match full auth
paths unless they use wildcard patterns. This prevents requests like
<code>/sign-in//email</code> from bypassing captcha while preserving
trailing-slash matches like <code>/sign-in/email/</code>. To protect
multiple routes, replace partial paths like <code>/sign-in</code> with
explicit wildcards such as <code>/sign-in/*</code> or
<code>/sign-in/**</code>.</p>
</li>

<a
href="6782647d7c"><code>6782647</code></a>
Thanks <a
href="https://github.com/gustavovalverde"><code>@gustavovalverde</code></a>!
- OAuth device grants now use <code>oauthDeviceAuthorization()</code>
alongside <code>oauthProvider()</code> or <code>mcp()</code>. This
single integration replaces both the standalone
<code>deviceCodeGrant()</code> plugin and the shared-grant
configuration. Standalone Device Authorization no longer accepts or
stores RFC 8707 resources, and <code>onDeviceAuthRequest</code> receives
only <code>clientId</code> and <code>scope</code>. The OAuth integration
rejects resource indicators that are not absolute, fragment-free
URIs.</p>
<p>The OAuth integration replaces the optional <code>resource</code>
column with <code>oauthClientId</code> and <code>resources</code>.
Regenerate and apply the schema when using it. Before upgrading from an
earlier 1.7 prerelease, let pending OAuth device codes expire or delete
them because they cannot be exchanged through the new integration.</p>

Thanks <a
href="https://github.com/gustavovalverde"><code>@gustavovalverde</code></a>!
- Plugin database schemas can now define named or generated table-level
indexes across multiple fields. SQL migrations and generated Drizzle or
Prisma schemas resolve configured table and column names consistently,
while the MongoDB adapter creates the same indexes before the first
index-enforcing write.</p>

Thanks <a

Add a server-only <code>auth.api.consumePhoneNumberOTP</code> API for
custom phone OTP flows that need to verify and consume a code without
creating or updating users or sessions.</p>

field to be omitted by
setting <code>displayUsername: false</code> on both the server and
client plugins.</p>

Thanks <a
href="https://github.com/GautamBytes"><code>@GautamBytes</code></a>! -
Device Authorization now creates unique database indexes for
<code>deviceCode</code> and <code>userCode</code>, so each generated
code must be unique in its column. Existing installations on every
adapter must resolve duplicate values before applying the migration.
MySQL and SQL Server installations must also convert both columns to
bounded strings and clean up values longer than 191 characters before
running it.</p>
<p>Generated codes are limited to 191 characters. Issuance makes up to 3
attempts to overcome unique-key collisions, then returns
<code>server_error</code> if it cannot create a unique
<code>deviceCode</code> and <code>userCode</code>. Default-generated
user codes accept case changes and readability separators during
verification, approval, and denial; custom codes outside the default
alphabet are matched exactly. The <code>/device</code> limiter allows 5
requests over a window equal to the configured code lifetime, while
<code>/device/token</code> polling keeps its separate interval
behavior.</p>

Thanks <a
href="https://github.com/ping-maxwell"><code>@ping-maxwell</code></a>!
- Harden the Electron OAuth flow and tighten custom-scheme
trusted-origin matching.</p>
<p>The Electron sign-in flow now mandates PKCE S256. Plain PKCE is
rejected: the <code>code_challenge_method</code> parameter is gone and
every authorization code is verified by hashing the verifier with
SHA-256. The server no longer trusts an <code>electron-origin</code>
header to set the request Origin. The Electron client now sends a real
<code>Origin</code> (for example <code>myapp:/</code>), so upgrade the
<code>@better-auth/electron</code> client and server together and make
sure your app's scheme is in <code>trustedOrigins</code>. The unused
<code>disableOriginOverride</code> option is removed.</p>
<p>Custom-scheme entries in <code>trustedOrigins</code> now match by
scheme and authority instead of string prefix. A host-less entry such as
<code>myapp://</code> or <code>exp://</code> still trusts every host of
that scheme, but a host-bearing entry such as
<code>myapp://callback</code> matches that host exactly, so it is no
longer satisfied by <code>myapp://callback.attacker.tld</code>.</p>

Thanks <a href="https://github.com/yordis"><code>@yordis</code></a>! -
feat(generic-oauth): add <code>refreshTokenParams</code> config to
forward extra params on token refresh</p>
<p>Multi-tenant OIDC providers (Zitadel multi-org, Auth0 with
<code>audience</code>) need to send extra body params on the refresh
call to rescope tokens without a full authorization redirect. The
generic-oauth plugin now accepts a <code>refreshTokenParams</code>
option (object or sync/async function) that is merged into the refresh
request body, with <code>grant_type</code> and
<code>refresh_token</code> protected from override. The function form
receives request metadata for the request that triggered the refresh, so
request-scoped data (headers, cookies) is available without out-of-band
state like AsyncLocalStorage.</p>
<p><code>UpstreamProvider.refreshAccessToken</code> now accepts an
optional second <code>ctx</code> argument; the change is backwards
compatible because existing implementations that take only
<code>refreshToken</code> remain valid. See <a
href="https://redirect.github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/7554">#7554</a>.</p>

<a

Thanks <a
href="https://github.com/gustavovalverde"><code>@gustavovalverde</code></a>!
- Rewrite the generic OAuth plugin as a first-class social provider with
OAuth 2.1 security defaults. Providers now use
<code>signIn.social</code> + <code>callback/:id</code> instead of
dedicated plugin endpoints, with PKCE required by default (OAuth 2.1),
RFC 9207 issuer validation, OIDC auto-discovery with <code>openid</code>
scope injection, and typed provider IDs.</p>
<p><strong>Breaking changes:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><code>signIn.oauth2({ providerId })</code> replaced by
<code>signIn.social({ provider })</code></li>
<li><code>oauth2.link()</code> replaced by
<code>linkSocial()</code></li>
<li>Callback URL changed from <code>/api/auth/oauth2/callback/:id</code>
to <code>/api/auth/callback/:id</code></li>
<li><code>genericOAuthClient()</code> removed; generic OAuth providers
now use the standard social client APIs</li>
<li><code>pkce</code> defaults to <code>true</code> (was
<code>false</code>); set <code>pkce: false</code> for providers that
reject PKCE</li>
<li><code>authorizationUrlParams</code> and <code>tokenUrlParams</code>
only accept <code>Record<string, string></code></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent runs need durable records so Paperclip can explain results and
final status changes.
> - The current heartbeat tables support direct adapters, but they do
not model native runner evidence.
> - The runner transport and server coordinator must share a strict
finalization contract before they write production data.
> - This pull request adds that contract and its additive database
boundary.
> - It does not select the Paperclip Runner or change any existing
adapter execution path.
> - The benefit is a reviewable persistence layer that preserves all
current behavior and supports later guarded integration.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11962
Refs #12129
## What Changed
- Add native run result, finalization, completion, assessment, status
decision, and status effect tables.
- Add inert native metadata to heartbeat runs and events. Keep `legacy`
as the default runtime mode.
- Bind each evidence relationship to one company, issue, run, contract,
result, assessment, and decision with composite constraints.
- Add a strict `paperclip.native_finalization.v1` shared type and
validator.
- Preserve database functions, triggers, and the unique indexes required
by foreign keys in JavaScript backups.
- Add migration, backup, mixed-owner denial, validator, and
direct-adapter compatibility tests.
- Document the new records and their ownership rules.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Run `pnpm build`.
- Run `pnpm db:generate`. The schema output and migration safety checks
remain current.
- Run
`PAPERCLIP_PSQL_PATH=/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin/psql
pnpm exec vitest run
packages/shared/src/validators/native-finalization.test.ts
packages/db/src/client.test.ts packages/db/src/backup-lib.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-busy.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-comment-wake-batching.test.ts`. All 52
tests pass.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` run completed 4,688 tests. It found 30
existing macOS test-environment failures. A serial rerun with the
canonical `/private/tmp` path reduced those failures to six existing
listener-diagnostics and skill-browser cases. None of those suites use
files in this change.
- The full Linux GitHub Actions matrix passes. This includes all
general-server, serialized-server, workspace, browser, build, typecheck,
canary, and aggregate verification jobs.
- Greptile passes at 5/5. Contributor trust, Superagent, Socket, and
Snyk pass with no finding from this change.
- Storybook visual regression skips by path because this pull request
has no UI or Storybook change.
- Confirm that the diff contains 25 files. Confirm that it contains no
workflow or `pnpm-lock.yaml` changes.
## Risks
- The migration adds tables, columns, indexes, a function, a trigger,
and ownership constraints. It does not remove or rename existing data.
- Composite foreign keys reject mixed-company, mixed-issue, and
mixed-run evidence even when each ID exists.
- The status-version trigger runs only when an issue status changes.
Backup tests confirm that restore retains this trigger and its
dependencies.
- Native source identifiers are unique when present. Legacy event rows
remain unchanged.
- This change does not add a unique run sequence constraint. The later
native writer must allocate its sequence atomically before that
invariant can be safe.
- Existing adapters keep their current execution and finalization paths.
New heartbeat runs default to `legacy` mode.

discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex with GPT-5. The exact deployment ID and context-window
size are not exposed. The model used agentic reasoning, repository
tools, code execution, and test execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent runs execute inside the server container, and they spawn many
short-lived descendants: git, the adapter CLI, esbuild, sh
> - The server image sets `ENTRYPOINT ["docker-entrypoint.sh"]`, and
that entrypoint ends in `exec`, so node becomes PID 1
> - Node reaps only the children it spawned itself. It installs no
`SIGCHLD`/`waitpid` handler for orphans that the kernel re-parents onto
PID 1, so those orphans stay as zombies forever
> - Zombies accumulate monotonically. When the cgroup pid limit is
reached, every `fork()` in the container fails and the instance is dead
> - This pull request installs `tini` and makes it PID 1 in front of the
existing entrypoint, adds a behavioural test that proves reaping, and
adds a `pids_limit` backstop to both compose files
> - The benefit is that a long-running container no longer degrades into
total fork failure, and a future regression is caught by CI instead of
by an outage
Depends-on: none — this change is self-contained in the image build and
its tests, and it touches no other in-flight branch
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this defect. It was found on a live
long-running instance. Description follows the bug report template.
**What happened?**
The server container ran for 22 hours and reached 2039 of 2048 pids in
its cgroup. Of 1760 processes, 1731 were zombies, and all 1731 had PID 1
as their parent. PID 1 was `node --import
./server/node_modules/tsx/dist/loader.mjs server/dist/index.js`. Zombies
accrued at about 79 per hour and were never reaped. The oldest zombie
was 20.8 hours old against a container uptime of 22.0 hours, so nothing
had been reaped since boot. Once the pid limit was reached, `git` and
`gh` failed with `pthread_create failed: Resource temporarily
unavailable`.
**Expected behavior**
PID 1 reaps orphaned processes that the kernel re-parents onto it. The
pid count of a long-running container stays flat instead of growing
without bound.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start the server image without `docker run --init` and without `init:
true`.
2. Run agent work that spawns descendants which outlive their immediate
parent.
3. Read `/sys/fs/cgroup/pids.current` and count processes in `Z` state
over several hours.
4. The zombie count grows monotonically and every zombie has PPID 1.
**Relevant logs or output**
```
cgroup pids.current / pids.max : 2039 / 2048
total processes : 1760
zombies : 1731 (98.4%)
parent of every zombie : PID 1 (1731/1731)
PID 1 cmdline : node --import .../tsx/dist/loader.mjs server/dist/index.js
container uptime : 22.0 h
oldest zombie : 20.8 h median: 14.4 h
zombie names : git 717, claude 280, MainThread 167, sleep 141,
esbuild 138, postgres 76, sh 65, sccache 50
```
**Additional context**
The fix pattern is already in this repository.
`docker/agent-runtime/Dockerfile.base` installs `tini` and sets
`ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/bin/tini", "--"]`. It was never applied to the server
image.
## What Changed
- `Dockerfile`: install `tini` in the `base` stage and set `ENTRYPOINT
["/usr/bin/tini", "--", "docker-entrypoint.sh"]`. The entrypoint stays
in the exec chain, so UID/GID remapping, `gosu`, and graceful shutdown
are unchanged.
- `scripts/assert-orphan-reaping.sh` (new): a behavioural probe. It
spawns a leader that forks a grandchild, exits the leader, and asserts
that the orphaned grandchild leaves `Z` state instead of persisting. It
fails closed if the grandchild is not re-parented onto PID 1, so a pass
cannot mean the check ran too early.
- `.github/workflows/docker.yml`: run that probe against the pushed
image after the publish step. The publish step is multi-arch with `push:
true`, so nothing is loaded into the runner daemon and the pushed tag is
the only thing to test. The cloud variant is `FROM production` and
inherits the same `ENTRYPOINT`.
- `scripts/docker-build-test.sh`: run the same probe against a local
build.
- `docker/docker-compose.yml` and
`docker/docker-compose.quickstart.yml`: add `pids_limit: 2048` as a
backstop, so a future leak dies visibly at its own ceiling instead of
starving the host of pids.
- `server/src/__tests__/container-init-reaping.test.ts` (new): 13
assertions that guard the configuration the probe depends on.
No per-orchestrator init lever was added. The image owning PID 1 covers
compose, plain `docker run`, the quadlet units, and the ECS task
definition in one place. Adding `init: true` in compose or
`initProcessEnabled` on the ECS task would nest a second init around
`tini`, and `tini` then warns on every boot that it is not PID 1. The
new test asserts the absence of both levers across all three manifests,
so the decision survives the next edit.
## Verification
| Check | Result |
|---|---|
| `scripts/assert-orphan-reaping.sh` against a real init | Grandchild
re-parented to PPID 1, then reaped. Exit 0. |
| Same probe forced against a genuine zombie | Reports `Z` and fails.
The failure branch is not vacuous. |
| Config guard against the pre-fix files | Exactly the 3 relevant
assertions turn red. |
| Config guard with `tini` removed from `apt-get` but the comments kept
| Red. It checks the install, not a mention of the name. |
| `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/container-init-reaping.test.ts` | 13 passed |
| `npx tsc --noEmit -p server` | Clean |
| `node scripts/check-docker-deps-stage.mjs` | PASS |
| `node --test scripts/release-verify-workflow.test.mjs` | 8 passed |
Not verified locally: no container runtime is available in the authoring
environment, so the probe has not run against a build of this image. The
new `docker.yml` step runs it against the pushed image on this PR.
## Risks
Low risk, but it is an image and entrypoint change, so it affects
deployments.
- `tini` adds one small package to the `base` stage.
`docker/agent-runtime/Dockerfile.base` already installs it from the same
Debian archive.
- Signal handling changes shape: `tini` receives `SIGTERM` and forwards
it to the entrypoint, which `exec`s node. `tini` forwards signals to its
direct child by default, and the exec chain keeps node as that child, so
graceful shutdown is preserved. A reviewer should confirm this on a real
stop.
- `pids_limit: 2048` is new for compose users. A deployment that
legitimately needs more than 2048 processes would now hit the ceiling.
The measured steady state on a busy instance was under 400.
- If a deployment already passes `--init` or `init: true`, `tini` runs
under another init and prints a warning that it is not PID 1. Reaping
still works because the outer init handles it. The compose files in this
repository do not set `init: true`.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandbox providers carry agent work through controlled execution
channels
> - The Daytona callback bridge uses a bespoke line-framed protocol over
its duplex channel
> - The bespoke protocol adds framing work and does not use the Node
transport that already supports multiplexed streams
> - This pull request carries raw bytes across the channel, adds a Node
HTTP/2 bridge, and selects it for Daytona
> - The benefit is one authenticated, multiplexed callback session with
queue_v1 as the bounded fallback
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
The packages/plugins Daytona provider and the shared duplex execution
path.
**Problem or motivation**
The Daytona callback bridge uses a bespoke line-framed protocol over the
provider duplex channel. This adds protocol work and limits stream
handling.
**Proposed solution**
Carry raw bytes through the cross-layer channel. Add an authenticated
Node HTTP/2 host server and sandbox client gateway. Select http2_v1 for
Daytona and retain queue_v1 as the fallback.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep the current duplex_v1 protocol. This keeps the bespoke framing path
and does not provide one HTTP/2 session for callback streams.
**Roadmap alignment**
ROADMAP.md lists Daytona under cloud and sandbox agents. This change
improves the shipped Daytona provider path.
**Additional context**
The branch adds no dependency. Node 24 provides the http2 module. The
host token check and canonical path parser remain the single dispatch
path.
## What Changed
- Carry raw Uint8Array chunks through the adapter, plugin, worker,
runtime, and Daytona layers.
- Encode bytes as base64 only across the JSON-RPC hop, because JSON has
no binary type.
- Add the bounded host HTTP/2 server and the in-sandbox HTTP/2 client
gateway.
- Authenticate every stream with the per-run bridge token before route
work.
- Parse the path once and reuse the canonical result for route and
forwarding work.
- Select http2_v1 for Daytona and fall back once to queue_v1 when the
client preface is absent.
- Add transport, session, stream, and fallback telemetry.
- Mark HTTP/2 as the preferred transport and queue_v1 as the
soft-deprecated fallback.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src` — 990 passed and 4
skipped.
- `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/plugin-worker-manager-duplex.test.ts` — 32 passed.
- `npx vitest run --config
packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/vitest.config.ts` — 220
passed and 6 skipped.
- `npx tsc --noEmit` in `packages/adapter-utils`, `packages/shared`,
`packages/plugins/sdk`, and `server` — clean.
- No `package.json` or `pnpm-lock.yaml` file changed.
- The live Daytona test skips when `DAYTONA_API_KEY` is absent.
- The root `npx tsc --noEmit` command has a pre-existing missing
`packages/adapters/droid-local` reference on this branch and on
`master`.
## Risks
- The transport change affects several duplex layers and could expose
byte-boundary errors.
- A missing HTTP/2 client preface falls back once to queue_v1 and
records `preface_missing`.
- The host token check and canonical path parser must remain on the
shared dispatch path.
- The live Daytona test needs `DAYTONA_API_KEY` and does not run in this
agent sandbox.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5, tool-enabled coding agent with repository inspection,
GitHub CLI, and shell execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runner package now has protocol, transport, provider, catalog,
and authorization foundations.
> - Its first upstream package boundary should expose only the
implemented runtime and test-helper surfaces.
> - Rust correctness belongs in the repository existing build
verification, without introducing a parallel release process.
> - Direct package creation must build the files declared by the package
manifest.
> - This pull request defines the minimal package API and verifies the
optimized runner binaries in the existing PR and release Build jobs.
> - The benefit is a production-ready runner package boundary with
minimal build-process change.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11962
This pull request replaces one bounded part of the archived large runner
change. It follows the package-local authorization change in #12126.
## What Changed
- Export only `@paperclipai/paperclip-runner` and
`@paperclipai/paperclip-runner/testing`.
- Keep Node-only fixture loading and semantic conformance helpers out of
the runtime root.
- Add a provider-neutral semantic conformance kit with stable JSON
comparison and fail-closed input checks.
- Keep deferred SDK, eval, browser, React, lab, and command surfaces
private.
- Pin the runner Rust toolchain to 1.97.1 with the minimal profile and
`rustfmt`.
- Run the Rust workspace tests in release mode.
- Launch the optimized `paperclip-runnerd` and fake-harness binaries in
process-level integration coverage.
- Add one `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all` step
to each existing PR and release Build job.
- Make the existing server `prepack` lifecycle run its existing build
after it prepares UI assets.
- Document that no production adapter starts runnerd yet.
This revision adds no standalone GitHub Actions job. It adds no server
runner dependency or runner vendoring. It adds no Docker bootstrap or
clean-consumer harness. It does not change `pnpm-lock.yaml`.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all`
- 66 TypeScript tests
- 8 protocol contract tests
- 56 Rust unit and integration tests
- Release-mode integration coverage launches the optimized runnerd and
fake-harness binaries.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/server-package-build-script.test.ts` (2 tests)
- Clean `pnpm pack` from `server/` rebuilt the server and produced both
`package/dist/index.js` and `package/dist/index.d.ts`.
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/release-verify-workflow.test.mjs` (8
tests)
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `git diff --check`
- No `pnpm-lock.yaml` diff.
- The diff changes 12 files.
## Risks
The runner adds Rust work to the existing Build jobs. These jobs can
take longer on a cold cache. The pinned toolchain makes contributor and
CI behavior reproducible. Cargo tests use `--release` to verify
optimized executables. The server prepack lifecycle now performs the
build that its published entry points require. This can make direct
server packing slower. This pull request does not wire runnerd into the
server. It does not select runnerd for any adapter. Existing application
execution and finalization paths remain unchanged.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5. Agentic coding mode used repository tools, code
execution, and automated tests.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for

> - The adapter utilities package defines shared types for agent
execution targets

> - This pull request gives the snapshot a general name and keeps the
old type as a deprecated alias
> - The benefit is clearer public vocabulary with source compatibility
for current consumers
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The exported capability snapshot type uses the name
`EffectiveSandboxCapabilities`, although local, SSH, sandbox, and plugin
drivers return it.
**Subsystem affected**
The change affects `packages/adapter-utils` and its server consumers.
**Current behavior**
The public type name points to the sandbox transport. The private parser
also uses the sandbox-only name.
**Proposed behavior**
Use `EffectiveExecutionCapabilities` for the public type and
`parseEffectiveExecutionCapabilities` for the private parser. Keep a
deprecated alias for the old public type.
**Reason and benefit**
The new name matches the established execution-target vocabulary. The
alias keeps existing type imports working during the migration.
**Breaking changes**
None. The runtime field, capability flags, parsed shape, and package
versions do not change.
**Additional context**
GitHub search found no duplicate or related open issue or pull request.
## What Changed
- Rename the exported interface to `EffectiveExecutionCapabilities`.
- Keep `EffectiveSandboxCapabilities` as a deprecated type alias.
- Rename the private parser and update its call site and references.
- Add a type-level test for the deprecated alias.
## Verification
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/adapter-utils`
- `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target-sandbox.test.ts`
- `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target-capabilities.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target-duplex.test.ts`
- The local checks passed with 133 adapter-utils tests and 31 server
tests.
- Reviewers can confirm that the runtime field and capability flags stay
unchanged.
## Risks
Low risk. The alias protects existing type imports. The change does not
alter runtime behavior or serialized data.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution. The runtime does not
expose the context window size.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip records first-party events, OpenTelemetry data, and local
run-log events
> - The code and documents used one term for these three data paths
> - This naming made the required review level unclear
> - This pull request names each data path in the module names,
documents, and code comments
> - The benefit is a clear review rule without a runtime change
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Issue type**
Unclear or confusing.
**Where is the issue?**
`packages/shared/src/telemetry/README.md`, `doc/observability.md`,
`doc/run-log-events.md`, and the duplex instrumentation modules.
**What's wrong?**
The repository used Telemetry for first-party events, OpenTelemetry
data, and local run-log events. This usage made the data path and review
level unclear.
**Suggested fix**
Use Telemetry only for Paperclip first-party events. Use Observability
for OpenTelemetry data. Use the run log for rows in
`heartbeat_run_events`.
Related public pull requests: #8476 and #9672.
## What Changed
- Rename the duplex instrumentation modules and identifiers from
`Telemetry` to `Observability`.
- Move the Observability and run-log contracts out of the Telemetry
README.
- Add `doc/observability.md` and `doc/run-log-events.md` as the
canonical documents.
- Add a file-path review rule to `AGENTS.md`.
- Correct the remaining code comments that name the wrong data path.
- Keep all event names, payloads, database records, spans, configuration
keys, environment variables, and runtime paths unchanged.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run packages/shared/src/telemetry/readme-contract.test.ts`
passes.
- `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/published-exports.test.ts`
passes.
- `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/startup-timing.test.ts` passes
with 42 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm --filter server typecheck` passes.
- The old module name does not remain in TypeScript or JSON files,
except for the intentional publication guard.
- CI and Greptile checks remain pending after PR creation.
## Risks
- The old duplex module subpath no longer has a compatibility shim. The
board accepted this intentional hard break.
- The new duplex module subpath stays blocked from package publication.
- The change has no runtime effect. The main risk is an incorrect
document or module reference.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 Codex, exact model ID `gpt-5`, with tool use and code
review support.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Environment runtime drivers provide workspace, lease, and custom
image behavior
> - Runtime code used driver identity checks and several
capability-specific members
> - These checks spread capability rules across the runtime and made new
drivers harder to verify
> - This pull request adds one general capability classifier and one
static driver support table
> - The benefit is one fail-closed capability model that keeps current
behavior and supports future drivers
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Environment runtime capability checks for workspace realization, custom
images, lease capabilities, and duplex authorization.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (multiple of the above)
**Current behavior**
The runtime selects several capability paths from driver identity and
separate capability members. Custom image gates also trust provider
declarations without checking every matching live worker method.
**Proposed behavior**
The runtime uses one general capability classifier and one static
support table. Custom image gates require both the provider declaration
and every matching live worker method. The public capability names
remain unchanged.
**Reason and benefit**
The change keeps capability rules in one place. It removes identity
conditions from runtime consumers and makes unsupported drivers fail
closed.
**Breaking changes**
None. The public names sandboxCapabilities, sandboxProviders, and
EffectiveSandboxCapabilities remain available.
## What Changed
- Add classifyEnvironmentCapabilities and static support definitions for
all four driver families.
- Add resolveCapabilities to every environment runtime driver.
- Move driver traits into environment-driver-traits.ts and migrate
runtime consumers.
- Require provider declarations and matching live worker methods for all
custom image gates.
- Migrate duplex authorization to the general resolver and remove the
dead sandbox-only member.
- Delete the unused resolveEffectiveSandboxCapabilities wrapper and
update its test.
## Verification
- pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
- pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-capability-contract.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-runtime.test.ts — 92 tests pass
- pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-driver-traits.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/general-capability-classifier.test.ts — 12 tests
pass
- pnpm exec vitest run

server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target-capabilities.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target-duplex.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target-duplex-kill-switch.test.ts
— 66 tests pass
## Risks
The main risk is a capability gate that denies a valid driver or permits
an invalid driver. The static support matrix, live worker method checks,
and regression tests reduce this risk. No database, public API, or
published type name changes.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, with tool use and code execution. The deployment
does not provide a separate context-window value.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents report task state to the control plane with `PATCH
/api/issues/{id}` at the end of each heartbeat
> - On remote sandbox targets those writes cross a relay that can fail
at the connection level
> - An agent that pipes its status curl through `head` cannot see that
failure; the write is lost but the run reports success
> - The issue then stays `in_progress` with no disposition, and the
missing-disposition recovery must repair it
> - This pull request makes the issue-update helper verify every write,
and it teaches the shared skill to require verified writes
> - The benefit is that a lost status write becomes a visible, retried
failure instead of a silent success
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists for this defect. The description below follows
the bug report template.
**What happened?**
A sandboxed heartbeat run answered its issue in a comment. It then sent
`PATCH /api/issues/{id}` with `status: done` through `curl -sf ... |
head -c 400`. The relay dropped the connection. The `-f` flag suppressed
the error output, and the pipe replaced curl's exit code with the exit
code of `head`. The agent saw empty output and exit 0. It reported the
write as an "empty 2xx" success and exited. The issue stayed
`in_progress`, and the successful-run recovery had to close it in a
corrective run.
**Expected behavior**
A status write that does not reach the server must surface as a failure.
The helper script must retry transient failures. It must exit non-zero
when the write is unconfirmed. Skill guidance must forbid write patterns
that hide failures.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Point `PAPERCLIP_API_URL` at an endpoint that drops connections
intermittently.
2. Finalize an issue with `curl -sf -X PATCH
"$PAPERCLIP_API_URL/api/issues/$ID" -d '{"status":"done"}' | head -c
400`.
3. Observe exit code 0 with empty output while the server never received
the PATCH.
## What Changed
- `scripts/paperclip-issue-update.sh` now captures `%{http_code}`,
retries a retryable failure (connection-level, 429, 5xx) once — two
attempts total, which matches the shared bounded-write-retry rule —
rejects an empty 2xx body, and confirms the response echoes the
requested status before it exits 0.
- Failure output states plainly that the write was NOT saved, so the
calling agent reports it accurately.
- `skills/paperclip/SKILL.md` Step 8 adds a required "Verify writes —
never infer them" rule: a successful PATCH always returns the updated
issue JSON, disposition writes must never run through `head`/`tail`
pipelines, and an unconfirmed write must be reported as FAILED.
- `server/src/__tests__/paperclip-skill-utils.test.ts` pins the new
skill rule; a new `paperclip-issue-update-helper.test.ts` exercises the
helper's behavior end-to-end.
## Verification
- `bash -n scripts/paperclip-issue-update.sh`
- `server/src/__tests__/paperclip-issue-update-helper.test.ts` runs the
helper end-to-end against a local HTTP server: confirmed-echo success
(exit 0), empty 2xx (exit 1), wrong echoed status (exit 1), 422 reject
(exit 1, exactly one request), 503 then success (two requests),
connection refused (two attempts, then exit 1 with a "NOT saved"
report).
- `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/paperclip-issue-update-helper.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/paperclip-skill-utils.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/cli-invocation-safety.test.ts` — 50 passed.
## Risks
- Low risk. The success-path output is unchanged (the updated issue
JSON).
- The helper now exits non-zero on unconfirmed writes. Callers that
previously missed silent failures now see explicit errors. That is the
intended behavior change.
- The single retry re-sends the PATCH after a retryable failure. If the
first request committed and only its response was lost, an attached
comment can post twice. The duplicate is visible and benign; the prior
behavior lost the write silently.
## Model Used
- Claude Fable 5 (Anthropic), model id `claude-fable-5`, extended
thinking enabled, agentic tool use via Claude Code (CLI harness), 200k
context window.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Environments define where agent runs execute: local, SSH, or
provider sandboxes
> - Operators can create and edit environments, but the UI has no way to
delete one
> - The server already exposes `DELETE /environments/:id` and a
delete-blast-radius preflight, but no UI consumes them, and a delete
blocked by reusable sandbox leases gives the operator no path forward
> - This pull request adds the delete flow to the environment
configuration page: a preflight-driven modal that reassigns dependent
agents, names the workspaces that hold blocking sandbox leases, and can
destroy those sandboxes with explicit consent
> - The benefit is that operators can retire stale environments from the
UI without database surgery, and dependent agents move to a chosen
replacement instead of silently falling back
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #8554
Refs #11124
**Subsystem affected**
Environments (server routes, environment runtime service, and the
environment settings UI).
**Problem or motivation**
The environment configuration page has no delete control. The server
delete endpoint exists, but nothing in the UI calls it. When reusable
sandbox leases block a delete, the 409 error names no owner, so the
operator cannot find the blocking workspace. Agents that use the
environment as their default lose it silently through the FK `on delete
set null`.
**Proposed solution**
Add a delete button with a confirmation modal on the environment edit
page. The modal reads the delete-blast-radius preflight. It offers a
dropdown to reassign dependent agents to another environment before the
delete. It lists each workspace that holds a blocking reusable sandbox
lease, with a link. When those leases are the only blocker, the confirm
button destroys the sandboxes inline
(`?destroyReusableSandboxLeases=true`) and then deletes. A failed
teardown falls back to `pending_cleanup` for the sweep, so no sandbox is
orphaned.
## What Changed
- `ui/src/pages/CompanyEnvironments.tsx`: delete button on the edit page
header, confirmation modal with agent reassignment select, lease-holder
list, impact notes, and a consent-labeled destroy-and-delete action
- `ui/src/api/environments.ts`: `deleteBlastRadius` and `remove` client
methods; `remove` takes an optional `destroyReusableSandboxLeases` flag
- `server/src/routes/environments.ts`: `DELETE /environments/:id`
accepts `?destroyReusableSandboxLeases=true`; it destroys the
environment's reusable sandbox leases first, but only when those leases
are the sole delete blocker, then re-checks the blast radius before it
deletes
- `server/src/services/environment-runtime.ts`: new
`destroyReusableSandboxLeasesForEnvironment` — destroys every reusable
sandbox lease an environment still owns while the environment config
(provider credentials) is still available
- `server/src/services/environments.ts`: the delete blast radius now
returns `reusableSandboxLeaseHolders` (lease id, workspace, issue) so
clients can name what blocks a delete
- `packages/shared/src/types/environment.ts`:
`EnvironmentDeleteReusableLeaseHolder` type on the blast radius
- Tests: route gating for the consent flag (destroy runs, mixed-blocker
rejection, surviving-lease rejection), runtime destroy scoped to an
environment, blast-radius holder join, and UI tests for the reassignment
flow, holder links, and the consent button
## Verification
- `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-runtime.test.ts
ui/src/pages/CompanyEnvironments.test.tsx`
- Manual: open Settings → Environments → edit an environment. The trash
icon opens the modal. With agents on the environment, pick a
reassignment target and confirm; agents move and the environment
deletes. With reusable sandbox leases, the modal names the holding
workspaces and the confirm button reads "Destroy N sandboxes and
delete".
## Risks
- The consented path destroys provider sandboxes. It runs only when
reusable leases are the sole blocker, so a delete that would still be
rejected never destroys anything. A failed teardown routes to
`pending_cleanup` and the delete stays blocked until the sweep resolves
it.
- Agent reassignment issues one PATCH per agent from the client. A
mid-sequence failure leaves some agents reassigned; the reassignments
are valid on their own and the UI refreshes to the actual state.
- Hard blockers (managed local, instance default, pending cleanup) keep
the existing 409 behavior and disable the confirm button.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Plugins extend the server with sandbox providers, tools, and jobs; a
loader activates them at boot
> - When activation fails, the loader marks the plugin `error` and skips
it on every later boot
> - Activation failures are often environmental — missing package
dependencies, a stale build output, a module that moved under a pull —
and the fix lands on disk without any write to the plugin row
> - The plugin therefore stays dead forever, and every feature behind it
(sandbox destroys, cleanup sweeps, probes) silently stops working until
an operator flips the row by hand
> - This pull request makes `loadAll` retry errored plugins once per
boot: flip to `ready`, attempt activation, and re-record the error if
the attempt fails
> - The benefit is that a plugin recovers on the next boot after its
environment is fixed, with no manual database or lifecycle intervention
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Several sandbox-provider plugins sat in `error` status for weeks after a
transient activation failure (a module resolution error from an older
checkout state). The boot loader only loads plugins in `ready` status,
so it never retried them. Environments backed by those providers lost
sandbox destroys, cleanup sweeps, and probes with no visible signal
other than the stale `last_error`.
**Expected behavior**
A plugin whose activation failure has been fixed on disk recovers on the
next server boot. A plugin that still fails stays in `error` with a
fresh error message.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Install a plugin whose worker cannot start (for example, delete one
of its dependencies), then boot the server. The plugin lands in `error`
status.
2. Restore the dependency.
3. Restart the server. Before this change, the plugin stays in `error`
forever. After this change, the boot retries it and the plugin
activates.
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/plugin-loader.ts`: `loadAll` also fetches plugins
in `error` status, flips each to `ready`, and activates it with the
normal batch. The flip runs before activation because the `error` status
only legally transitions to `ready` or `uninstalled`; a retry that
failed while still in `error` could not re-mark itself. A failed flip
logs a warning and never aborts the boot load. The stale comment at the
`markError` site now describes the retry.
- `server/src/__tests__/plugin-loader-error-retry.test.ts`: covers the
flip-then-retry flow, the failed-flip isolation, and the empty case.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/plugin-loader-error-retry.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/bundled-plugins.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/plugin-lifecycle-restart.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/cloud-image-bundled-plugins.test.ts`
- Manual: mark an installed plugin's status to `error`, restart the
server, and observe the loader log line `retrying plugins that failed
activation on a previous boot` followed by a successful activation (or a
fresh `last_error` if the plugin is genuinely broken).
## Risks
- A genuinely broken plugin now costs one bounded activation attempt per
boot (the attempts run in parallel with the ready batch under
`Promise.allSettled`). It cannot crash-loop within a running process,
and it returns to `error` with a fresh message.
- The flip clears `last_error` before the attempt. If the process dies
between the flip and the activation, the row is `ready` with no error
text; the next boot simply loads it as a ready plugin.
- Operators who relied on `error` as a manual "keep this off" latch
should use the `disabled` status, which this change does not touch.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #8168. That pull request uses a role capability and also opens
clear-error. This change uses the current grant system and keeps
clear-error closed.
**What happened?**
A plugin can create a paused managed agent. An agent actor cannot resume
that agent, even when the actor has a direct `agents:configure` grant.
The paused agent can also have a null pause reason.
**Expected behavior**
An agent with a direct `agents:configure` grant can resume an accessible
paused agent. An agent without that grant cannot resume it.
Plugin-managed paused agents show stable plugin provenance. A completed
resume stays in effect after reconcile.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Install a plugin that declares a managed agent with `status: paused`.
2. Give a same-company agent a direct `agents:configure` grant.
3. Call `POST /api/agents/{id}/resume` with the granted agent key.
4. On the base revision, observe a board-only authorization error.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `63df7ad2b3`.
**Deployment mode**
All deployment modes. This is a server authorization and reconcile
behavior.
## What Changed
- The resume route now uses the protected `agent_config:update` decision
with `requiresChangeGrant: true` for agent actors.
- The route keeps board access, tenant non-disclosure, and invalid
organization-chain protection.
- Resume activity now records the real user or agent actor, run, and API
key.
- Plugin-managed paused agents now receive a stable provenance reason
and pause time at creation.
- Reconcile backfills only a null reason on an agent that is still
declared and stored as paused.
- Reconcile preserves manual, budget, system, and other pause reasons.
It does not pause a resumed agent again.
- The implementation specification now records the narrow resume
exception.
## Verification

- `pnpm build` passed.
- GitHub CI passed all policy, typecheck, build, test, e2e, canary, and
security gates on commit `306edf469c`.
- Greptile reviewed all 5 changed files. Its check passed with 0
comments and 0 unresolved threads.
- The host uses Node 22.22.2. The repository requests Node 24.11 or
newer, so pnpm printed engine warnings.
- A broad `pnpm test:run` attempt did not complete its general-server
group. Runtime port fixtures failed because host port `52000` was
already bound. The isolated failing fixture reproduced the same port
conflict. The focused feature tests passed before and after the final
commit.
## Risks
The main risk is an unintended lifecycle permission increase. The change
limits agent access to resume only. It requires a protected
direct-change decision. It does not open pause, clear-error, terminate,
approval, or key-management routes. Tests cover denial, self-denial,
tenant isolation, organization-chain checks, and activity attribution.
There is no database migration.
> This change fixes a narrow gap in the completed plugin, approval, and
activity-log roadmap areas. It does not add a new roadmap feature.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex `gpt-5.6-sol`, with xhigh reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The runtime did not expose its context-window size.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent adapters use provider-specific login flows
> - Codex device login needs a live pseudo-terminal (PTY), while the
shared channel still uses Claude-specific names
> - The old streamed-exec path does not provide the prompt transport
that Codex needs
> - This pull request moves Codex device login to the shared login PTY
and removes the dead streamed-exec path
> - The benefit is one controlled login transport with fail-closed
capability checks and safer credential reads
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Problem or motivation**
Codex device login used a streamed-exec path that did not provide the
required prompt transport. The shared login channel also exposed
Claude-specific names outside Claude code.
**Expected behavior**
The host selects a fixed login command from trusted adapter data. Codex
login uses the provider login PTY. Providers without that capability
fail closed.
**Proposed solution**
Use a server-controlled session home, create and validate it as a fresh
0700 directory, read credentials from one validated descriptor, and
rename shared channel names to the neutral login PTY family.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep the shared login PTY as the single transport. Do not keep the
removed streamed-exec path because it cannot provide the required prompt
transport.
**Roadmap alignment**
This change supports the planned login transport work. It does not add a
separate roadmap item.
## What Changed
- Route Codex device login through the shared login PTY transport.
- Select the login command from a closed internal command key.
- Carry a server-controlled session home through the launch contract.
- Create and validate the session home as a fresh 0700 directory owned
by the login user.
- Read the credential file with descriptor-relative, no-follow path
walking and final descriptor checks.
- Gate the login route and run lease on the provider login PTY
capability.
- Rename shared channel names to the neutral login PTY family.
- Remove the streamed-exec transport value, selector field, driver
branch, and related tests.
- Hide Codex login in the user interface when the provider lacks the
login PTY capability.
## Verification
- Server unit suites pass: 89/89.
- Adapter-utils suites pass: 262/262.
- Codex-local suites pass: 326/326.
- Credential-read reader suite passes: 20/20.
- Daytona login PTY suite passes: 30/30.
- Device-login suites pass: 56/56.
- TypeScript checks pass for server, adapter-utils, and UI.
- GitHub Actions must pass after pull request creation.
- Greptile review must reach 5/5 with no open P2 findings,
recommendations, or follow-ups.
## Risks
- Providers without a login PTY capability lose Codex login support by
design.
- The credential read rejects invalid ownership, mode, type, path, and
size.
- The launch-time sandbox directory race remains outside the threat
model because the login runs inside the sandbox and a hostile sandbox
already controls its credential.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code review assistance. The exact
context window and reasoning mode are not exposed by the runtime.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents resume blocked work through the `issue_blockers_resolved`
wake when every durable blocker is `done`
> - That wake is level-triggered: one ready state produces one wake,
shared by the issue update route, workspace-finalize backstop, and
periodic liveness backstop
> - The ready-state key hashed only the dependent id and blocker set, so
it ignored a later reset from a terminal status back into `blocked`
> - After that reset, completing the same blockers found the previous
cycle's completed wake and suppressed the new continuation
> - This pull request folds the dependent's `blockedTransitionAt` into
the ready-state key, with compatibility for old no-cycle keys
> - The benefit is that a reset blocked issue receives exactly one new
wake without watchdog status repair or a change to blocker edges
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs: https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/issues/5985
Refs: https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/issues/6555
Related: https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/8009
Related: https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/11570
This change does not auto-flip `blocked` to `todo`. The wake is the
continuation. It also does not treat cancelled blockers as resolved.
**What happened?**
A blocked assigned issue that was previously `done` or `cancelled`, then
reset to `blocked` on the same blocker set, did not receive
`issue_blockers_resolved` when those blockers later returned to `done`.
A completed wake from the previous cycle reused the same level-triggered
state key and suppressed the new wake. Route-time emit,
workspace-finalize backstop, and periodic liveness backstop all used
that helper.
**Expected behavior**
When every durable blocker is `done`, a currently `blocked` assigned
issue must receive exactly one valid `issue_blockers_resolved`
continuation for the current blocked cycle. A completed wake from an
earlier cycle must not suppress it. Watchdog `blocked` → `todo` repair
must not be required.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Assign issue B, block it on issue A, mark A `done`, and let B receive
`issue_blockers_resolved`.
2. Mark B `done`.
3. Reset A to `todo` and reset B from `done` to `blocked` on the same A
id. This refreshes `blockedTransitionAt`.
4. Mark A `done` again.
5. Observe that B stays `blocked` with no new `issue_blockers_resolved`
wake.

`master` at `cc42a67e7e9e8eb183097afc8ff4ebfa694fb3e0`
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted server
## What Changed
- Extend `buildIssueBlockersResolvedWakeStateKey` so the digest includes
the dependent's `blockedTransitionAt` as UTC ISO-8601, or `none`
- Thread `blockedTransitionAt` through `listWakeableBlockedDependents`,
both route emit sites, and both backstop candidate selects
- Keep compatibility: new cycle-aware keys suppress in idempotent
statuses; old no-cycle state keys suppress when in-flight, or when
completed and `requestedAt >= blockedTransitionAt` (or the cycle is
null); legacy per-edge keys stay in-flight-only
- Do not rewrite `blockedByIssueIds`, auto-flip `blocked` → `todo`, or
delete historical wake rows
- Add helper, route, restore, chained dependent, and backstop tests for
the reset cycle
## Verification
```
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run \
src/__tests__/issue-dependency-wakeups-routes.test.ts \
src/__tests__/heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation.test.ts \
src/services/issue-dependency-wakeups.ts \
src/services/issue-dependency-wakeups.test.ts
```
Local result: all named tests passed (helper 9, routes 8, liveness 26).
## Risks
- Deploy overlap: in-flight and same-cycle completed wakes still exist
under the old no-cycle key. The lookup keeps those as suppressors so
this change does not enqueue a duplicate in the current cycle.
- A completed old-key wake from before the current `blockedTransitionAt`
no longer suppresses. That is the intended fix.
- No schema migration. Rollback is revert of this PR.
- This does not change cancelled-blocker semantics or watchdog `blocked`
→ `todo` repair.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip runs AI agents through adapters and sandboxed execution
targets.
> - Duplex routes retain bytes across route data, broker messages,
decoder buffers, and readiness replay.
> - Per-route limits bound each route but do not bound the total
retained bytes across many routes.
> - A process-owned ledger must charge each retained buffer before
allocation and release the charge during cleanup.
> - This pull request adds the aggregate ledger, connects it to host and
sandbox duplex paths, and adds route coverage.
> - The benefit is a fail-closed process-wide byte limit that keeps
concurrent duplex work within a safe resource budget.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
This change affects packages/adapter-utils and server duplex
orchestration.
**Problem or motivation**
Many routes can each stay below their per-route limits while their
combined retained bytes exceed a safe process budget.
**Proposed solution**
Add a process-owned aggregate byte ledger. Charge route data, broker
bytes, decoder buffers, and readiness replay bytes before allocation.
Release each charge during cleanup. Use a separate sandbox_process
decoder cap for the in-sandbox path.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep only per-route limits. This does not bound the combined process
use. Set a fixed limit at one call site. This misses retained bytes in
other duplex paths.
**Roadmap alignment**
This is a tightly scoped reliability and resource-safety improvement. It
does not duplicate a roadmap feature.
**Additional context**
The aggregate ceiling uses a safe 256 MiB default. An invalid override
falls back to that default and reports the rejected value.
## What Changed
- Add a process-owned aggregate byte ledger for duplex route resource
use.
- Charge and release route data, broker forward and response bytes,
decoder buffers, and readiness replay bytes.
- Bound host-to-worker pending writes and standard input transport
bytes.
- Add a separate decoder cap for the sandbox_process path.
- Make invalid aggregate-ceiling overrides fall back to the safe default
without host startup failure.
- Add adapter-utils and server tests for charging, release, rejection,
cleanup, and many-route aggregate limits.
## Verification
- pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec tsc --noEmit
- pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit
- Run the focused adapter-utils duplex ledger and execution-target
tests.
- Run the server aggregate-ledger route test.
- Confirm all required pull request checks pass on this branch.
## Risks
The ledger touches several duplex buffer paths. A missed release could
reduce later capacity until process restart. The tests cover charge,
release, rejection, cleanup, and route aggregation. The change uses a
safe default when configuration input is invalid.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 Codex. The runtime model ID and context window are not
exposed to this task. The model used tool calls, shell commands, and
code review workflow support.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip runs agent work through adapters and sandbox providers
> - The Daytona duplex path sends host input through a provider
pseudo-terminal WebSocket
> - Large messages exceed the provider limit, and a transport close can
look like a process exit
> - This pull request chunks UTF-8 input and carries transport-close
state through the duplex path
> - The benefit is reliable large input and accurate loss reporting
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The Daytona duplex path sent a full input payload as one WebSocket
message. A payload above the provider limit closed the channel. The wait
path also mapped a non-numeric exit result to a process exit without
exit data.
**Expected behavior**
The provider must receive large input as ordered UTF-8 chunks. A
transport close without exit data must record `transport_closed`, while
a numeric exit must record `provider_exit`.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a Daytona duplex session.
2. Send an input payload larger than 65536 bytes.
3. Observe that one message closes the provider channel.
4. End a session without a numeric exit code.
5. Observe that the loss reason reports a process exit.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit `1761e79ec9097c65d94f90a8ba20416f8ab718a6`.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with the Daytona sandbox provider.
## What Changed
- Add a shared UTF-8 byte chunker with a 32768-byte cap.
- Route both Daytona pseudo-terminal write paths through the chunker.
- Preserve multi-byte UTF-8 sequences across read-side chunks.
- Carry an explicit `transportClosed` state through the worker and host
wait paths.
- Record `transport_closed` for a reason-less transport close and
`provider_exit` for a numeric exit.
- Keep orderly completion suppression for both exit paths.
## Verification
- The Daytona plugin suite passes 194 tests.
- The adapter-utils broker, codec, and telemetry suites pass 73 tests.
- The plugin SDK duplex and worker RPC host suites pass 37 tests.
- The server plugin worker manager duplex suite passes 78 tests.
- The execution target sandbox and ACPX execute suites pass 257 tests.
- TypeScript checks pass for adapter-utils, plugin SDK, server, and the
standalone Daytona plugin.
## Risks
The chunk size adds a loop for large input payloads. The 32768-byte cap
stays below the provider limit. The optional loss field preserves
compatibility for other providers.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, extended reasoning, tool use, and code execution.
The runtime does not expose a separate context-window value.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The recovery service restores execution when a task loses its live
path.
> - The service retries the original agent for a limited number of
attempts.
> - The old fallback could select a manager or an executive and wake
that agent.
> - That fallback changed the effective recovery owner without a board
decision.
> - This pull request keeps the source owner and gives the exhausted
recovery decision to the board.
> - The benefit is a clear ownership rule with no automatic task
takeover.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs: #11807
Refs: #11817
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This improves stranded-task recovery in the server and the recovery
action card in the board UI.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: server recovery orchestration, recovery observability,
board UI, and execution documentation.
**Current behavior**
Paperclip retries the original agent for a limited number of attempts.
After the retry limit, it can select a manager, task creator, CTO, or
CEO as a recovery owner. It can then wake that substitute agent. The
source task keeps its assignee, but the automatic substitute wake
creates an implicit takeover path.
**Proposed behavior**
Paperclip keeps the limited retry path for the original agent. If
recovery is exhausted or unsafe, Paperclip creates one board-owned
source recovery action. It keeps both source assignee fields. It does
not wake a substitute agent. The board can repair, retry the original
owner, explicitly reassign, or resolve the task.
**Reason and benefit**
Source task ownership must remain stable until a person or an approved
policy changes it. The new rule removes implicit manager and executive
takeover. It also gives operators clear evidence through the
`board_escalation_no_takeover_v1` routing marker.
**Breaking changes**
Automatic recovery no longer wakes a manager or executive after the
original-agent retry limit. Existing active agent-owned recovery actions
remain visible and can resolve. Paperclip does not schedule a new
takeover wake for those legacy actions.
## What Changed
- Route exhausted and unsafe stranded recovery to a board-owned source
action.
- Preserve agent and user assignee fields during automatic escalation.
- Keep limited same-agent continuity repair and provider quota
monitoring.
- Stop new manager, creator, CTO, and CEO recovery wakes.
- Keep legacy agent-owned recovery actions readable and resolvable.
- Add the routing marker to new board escalation evidence and
observability.
- Update recovery notices, the board UI card, tests, and execution
documentation.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Run `pnpm build`.
- Run `pnpm check:token-gates`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts`.
- Run the focused recovery and UI Vitest files changed by this pull
request.
- Confirm that a paused or over-budget source owner creates one board
action, keeps the source assignee, and creates no substitute wake.
## Risks
- Operators must now make the final recovery decision after the
original-agent limit.
- Legacy agent-owned actions use their stored contract. This avoids a
rollout-time ownership rewrite.
- No database migration or API response shape changes are included.
- The tests cover concurrent escalation, paused and over-budget owners,
legacy actions, provider quota monitoring, and UI presentation.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Sandbox adapters provide controlled execution for untrusted provider
environments.
> - The sandbox channel needs one persistent duplex transport with
strict host control.
> - The transport must remain off unless the instance setting and
provider capability both allow it.
> - The host must detect loss, bound resource use, and expose only safe
telemetry.
> - This pull request adds the broker, gated selection, kill-switch
wiring, fixed observability, and real-process proof.

and inspectable transport results.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists for this change. The related pull requests are
#11738 and #11750.
**Problem or motivation**
The sandbox duplex channel needs a host-controlled broker, strict
transport gates, bounded provider input, and safe loss telemetry.
Without these controls, a provider can cause replay, resource growth,
unsafe endpoint selection, or data exposure through telemetry.
**Proposed solution**
Add a host broker with nested time limits, request limits, one-shot
loss, and per-id deduplication. Select duplex transport only when the
instance setting and provider capability both equal true. Assign the
endpoint and nonce on the host. Reject invalid readiness data and use
the file bridge on failure. Add fixed redacted telemetry and a
real-process end-to-end test harness.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep the file bridge as the only transport. This avoids new channel
behavior but does not provide persistent duplex operation for supported
sandbox providers.
**Roadmap alignment**
This change supports the Cloud / Sandbox agents section in ROADMAP.md.
## What Changed
- Add the duplex bridge broker with bounded forward, response, and
gateway wait budgets.
- Bound concurrent requests, lifetime requests, and request-id bytes
before retention or forwarding.
- Select duplex transport only when both required gates are true.
- Assign the loopback port and nonce on the host and enforce a
liveness-only READY frame.
- Fall back to the file bridge after invalid readiness, contamination,
bind failure, or timeout.
- Carry the kill switch through the server, acpx engine, and six local
adapters.
- Add fixed, redacted duplex telemetry with a provider allowlist.
- Add a real-process end-to-end harness for readiness, round trips,
loss, and teardown.
- Add regression coverage for limits, loss, UTF-8 splits, concurrency,
and telemetry dimensions.
## Verification
- Adapter-utils, server, and Daytona typechecks pass locally.
- Adapter-utils tests pass, including the codec, broker,
execution-target sandbox, and real-process harness.
- Server kill-switch tests pass.
- Live Daytona tests pass with the required provider key and skip
without that key.
- The root pnpm-lock.yaml file has no diff.
- The branch contains ten commits after origin/master.
## Risks
- Duplex transport remains disabled unless both gates equal true.
- A provider remains an untrusted boundary and needs least-privilege
credentials and quotas.
- The server telemetry recorder stays deferred; the default recorder
does nothing.
- A provider that pre-binds the host port causes a fail-closed fallback
to the file bridge.
- The change adds no database migration and changes no root lockfile.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5, exact model family GPT-5, large context window, reasoning,
and tool use. The model assisted with Git handoff validation and PR
preparation. The implementation commits came from the engineering
worktree.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A workspace can run a shared local service, such as a dev server, on
an automatic port
> - Paperclip adopts a live service again after it loses the runtime
registry state
> - Paperclip must first prove that the port owner runs inside the
workspace
> - Linux reads the process working directory from `/proc/<pid>/cwd`
> - macOS has no `/proc`, so the check returned `null` and adoption
always failed
> - This pull request reads the process working directory with `lsof` on
macOS
> - The benefit is that macOS keeps a healthy live service after startup
reconciliation, instead of recording it as stopped
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Closes#9911. That pull request reports the same defect and was opened
first, on 2026-07-20. Its checks have been red since that day, because
its inline issue description does not use the label format the gate
parses. It has had no author activity since. This pull request keeps
that author's test-fixture commit, with the author unchanged, and adds
NUL-delimited parsing, adoption-boundary tests, and fail-closed Darwin
registry handling. Maintainers may prefer to land #9911 instead. I will
close this one again if they do.
This pull request replaces #11600, which I closed earlier as a
duplicate. It carries the same work, rebased onto current `master`, with
the review feedback from that pull request applied.
No public issue exists. The problem follows.
**What happened?**
On macOS, `readLocalServiceProcessCwd` returned `null`. Startup
reconciliation found a live port owner, but it could not verify the
working directory. It rejected the candidate and recorded the live
service as stopped.
**Expected behavior**
Paperclip adopts a healthy port owner when the working directory is
inside the requested workspace. Paperclip rejects the process when the
working directory is outside the workspace, or when it cannot be read.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Build Paperclip from source on macOS.
2. Start a shared workspace runtime service on an automatic port.
3. Remove the runtime registry state while the service stays alive.
4. Run startup reconciliation.
5. Read the result. Unpatched `master` reports `adopted: 0` and
`stopped: 1`.
**Paperclip version or commit**
This branch is based on `master` at
`7c8064da1b35527865c1d523c9f0016e304ae46d`.
**Deployment mode**
Local development from source.
**Installation method**
Built from source with pnpm.
**Operating system**
macOS 26.4, Darwin 25.4.0, arm64.
**Node.js version**
Node.js 22.22.2 on macOS. Node.js 24.19.0 on Linux. pnpm 9.15.4.
## Darwin Registry Adoption Now Fails Closed
This pull request changes one existing Darwin registry-adoption behavior
in addition to enabling port-owner adoption.
Before this change, `readLocalServiceProcessCwd` always returned `null`
on Darwin. `isLocalServiceRegistryCwdCompatible` treated a null cwd as
compatible on every non-Linux platform, so a service with an existing
registry record could still be adopted when its port owner, process
group, and command matched, even though Paperclip had not verified the
process's real working directory.
Darwin can now inspect the process cwd through `lsof`. If that
inspection returns `null` — including a missing `lsof`, a command
failure, or missing cwd output — registry-backed adoption now fails
closed and the stale registry record is removed.
This is a deliberate behavior change. It prevents a failed Darwin cwd
probe from silently falling back to trusting stored registry metadata.
The no-registry port-owner path already rejected a null cwd before this
pull request, so its failure behavior has not changed.
## What Changed
- Add a Darwin branch to `readLocalServiceProcessCwd`.
- Run `lsof -a -d cwd -p <pid> -F0n` to read the process working
directory.
- Parse the NUL-delimited field output.
- Do not trim the path. Do not split it on newlines. A directory name
can contain a trailing space or a newline, and a changed path would name
a different directory.
- Keep the Linux `/proc/<pid>/cwd` path unchanged.
- Return `null` for an invalid pid, a missing `lsof`, a command error,
or missing output.
- Reject a Darwin registry record when the working directory cannot be
read. Darwin can now read it, so a failed read means the check failed.
It no longer means the platform has no way to check.
- Keep the registry fallback only on platforms that cannot read a
process working directory.
- Run the existing foreign-workspace rejection test on macOS.
- Add a test: Paperclip adopts a port owner inside the workspace when no
registry record exists.
- Add a test: Paperclip rejects a listener in a sibling directory that
differs only by a trailing space.
- Add helper tests for newline and whitespace parsing, an invalid pid,
and a missing `lsof` binary.
- Resolve the branch-containment temporary repository root before the
path comparison. This test-only commit comes from #9911 and keeps its
author.
## Verification
Head of this branch: `2be1b74746d8a0db4b680062f0c57995a6ff3912`.
**Linux, on this head**
```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run \
src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts \
src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts
```
Result: 138/138 pass. `workspace-runtime.test.ts` is 132/132.
`heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts` is 6/6.
**macOS, on this head**
macOS 26.4, Darwin 25.4.0, arm64, Node.js 22.22.2, pnpm 9.15.4.
- Controlled baseline: `workspace runtime startup reconciliation >
adopts a live auto-port shared service after runtime state is reset`
fails on the rebase base `7c8064da1b35527865c1d523c9f0016e304ae46d` and
reports `adopted: 0`, `stopped: 1`. The same test passes on this head.
That test uses the normal managed start path, which starts the service
detached.
- Focused working-directory, registry, adoption, and boundary tests: 8/8
pass.
- `heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts`: 6/6 pass. Two
assertions failed before the fixture change, because `/var/...` and
`/private/var/...` name the same macOS directory.
- Server typecheck: pass.
- Full `workspace-runtime.test.ts`: 131/132 pass.
The one failure is `realizeExecutionWorkspace > records teardown and
cleanup operations when a recorder is provided`:
```text
expected: /var/folders/...
received: /private/var/folders/...
```
I ran that same test alone on the rebase base `7c8064da`, with no patch
applied, and got the identical failure. It is a pre-existing macOS
fixture that builds a path from `os.tmpdir()` and compares it against a
realpath. It does not run the changed adoption path. This description
does not claim the whole file is green on macOS.
**macOS listener evidence**
In the `adopts a port owner running inside the workspace when the
registry record is gone` scenario, the auto-port listener bound port
`54360`:
```text
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
node 6808 <local-user> 12u IPv4 0xee4e36b2c8c094cf 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:54360 (LISTEN)
```
To hold the listener open long enough to capture this, that one
diagnostic run added a temporary pause, which exceeded the Vitest
timeout. The pause was reverted, the unmodified test was run again on
this head, and it passed 1/1. The process and the port were then
released.
Note for maintainers: an existing test already covered this defect. That
test never runs on macOS, because CI runs on Linux. A macOS job would
have caught it in July.
## Risks
Low risk.
- Linux keeps the existing procfs implementation.
- Other platforms keep the existing registry fallback.
- macOS makes one extra `lsof` call, and only when it must read a
process working directory.
- A probe failure returns `null`.
- Darwin port-owner adoption and Darwin registry adoption both fail
closed.
- The parser keeps significant whitespace and embedded newlines.
- There is no database migration and no API change.
## Model Used
Claude Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5`), with extended thinking, tool use, and
code execution. It wrote the original implementation and the adoption
tests, reviewed the branch, ran the Linux test suite, rebased onto
current `master`, and prepared this text. OpenAI GPT-5.6-sol, through
Hermes Agent, added the failure-mode coverage and ran the macOS checks.
A human reviewed the change and controls publication.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Execution workspaces isolate an agent task from the primary
checkout.
> - Pull request preparation can need a branch that already contains
completed work.
> - The workspace policy could not require an exact existing branch.
> - Workspace cleanup also treated worktree creation as branch
ownership.
> - This pull request adds an exact existing-branch policy and separate
branch ownership metadata.
> - The benefit is safe pull request preparation that preserves every
existing commit and operator-owned branch.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A pull request preparation run could not pin its execution workspace to
an exact existing branch. Workspace reuse and cleanup could also confuse
worktree creation with branch ownership.
**Expected behavior**
The run must attach only to the requested branch in an isolated Git
worktree. It must fail if the branch is missing, busy, or inconsistent.
Cleanup must not delete a branch that Paperclip does not own.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a branch that contains completed work.
2. Configure a pull request preparation task to use that branch.
3. Start the task and observe that the prior policy cannot require the
exact branch.
**Paperclip version or commit**
This behavior reproduces on the base revision before this pull request.
**Deployment mode**
Local development with isolated Git worktrees.
## What Changed
- Add `existingBranch` to the execution workspace policy and shared
validation contracts.
- Require `existingBranch` to use an isolated Git worktree and reject
conflicting branch templates.
- Attach to the exact branch without creating, renaming, resetting, or
deleting it.
- Track branch ownership separately from worktree creation and use that
ownership during cleanup.
- Return HTTP 422 for invalid existing-branch settings on every
issue-producing route.
- Add a bounded repair script for existing pull request preparation
tasks.
- Add focused policy, route, heartbeat, runtime, and ready-comment
tests.
- Document the exact-branch behavior and safety rules.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/execution-workspace-policy.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-existing-branch-validation-status.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts
server/src/services/workspace-runtime-exposure.test.ts
server/src/services/workspace-runtime-ready-comment.test.ts` passed 335
tests.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed for all workspace projects.
- `pnpm test:run` passed 4,431 tests. Two unrelated embedded-Postgres
setup hooks timed out under aggregate load. Their isolated rerun passed
74 tests.
- `pnpm build` passed for all workspace projects.
- The two review regressions passed with 139 unrelated tests skipped.
- All latest-head CI gates passed after one unrelated timing-sensitive
test passed on rerun.
- Greptile scored the latest head 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.
## Risks
- Invalid workspace settings now return HTTP 422 instead of a generic
validation response.
- The exact branch must already exist and must not be checked out by
another worktree.
- The new policy fails closed when it cannot prove branch identity or
ownership.
- This change has no database migration.

## Model Used
OpenAI Codex from the GPT-5 family assisted with this change. The
runtime did not expose its exact deployment ID or context window. The
agent used high-reasoning mode, repository tools, shell execution, and
code execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Execution workspaces give each run an isolated directory and a
selected base ref
> - A remote-only base ref can fail before `git worktree add` when the
ref is not local
> - A setup failure before adapter dispatch must block the run without
an agent-only retry
> - This pull request resolves both remote-tracking ref forms and bounds
recovery for the same unresolved ref
> - The benefit is correct workspace setup and no repeated pre-adapter
recovery loop
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This PR has no existing public issue. It addresses a workspace setup
bug.
**What happened?**
A remote-only base ref could fail before `git worktree add`. A setup
failure before adapter dispatch could also queue an agent-only
missing-comment retry.
**Expected behavior**
Paperclip must resolve `fix/foo` and `origin/fix/foo` before it creates
a worktree. An unresolved ref must create a human-owned configuration
blocker. Paperclip must not queue an agent-only retry when the adapter
never starts.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Configure an execution workspace with a base ref that exists only on
the remote.
2. Start a run that creates a fresh worktree.
3. Repeat the run with the same unresolved ref.
4. Observe one configuration blocker and no repeated agent-only recovery
action.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`7664e323189bc219d8cbe00433b2e82b682b0504`
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with `pnpm dev`.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific. The failure occurs before adapter dispatch.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Access context**
Both board and agent execution paths can use execution workspaces.
Related public pull request: `Refs #11123`.
## What Changed
- Resolve remote-only base refs with the authenticated fetch helper
before `git worktree add`.
- Support both unqualified refs and remote-tracking refs.
- Raise a `configuration_incomplete` blocker when the requested ref
remains unresolved.
- Suppress missing-comment retries when setup fails before adapter
dispatch.
- Add the requested ref to the recovery fingerprint to bound identical
recovery actions.
- Add focused tests and update the execution semantics document.
## Verification
- `tsc --noEmit` passed for the changed server code.
- Focused Vitest suites passed, including four base-ref tests,
fingerprint deduplication, and pre-adapter retry suppression.
- GitHub Actions must run the full pull request gate.
## Risks
Low risk. The change affects workspace setup before adapter dispatch.
Existing worktree reuse remains unchanged. An unresolved ref now creates
a clear configuration blocker instead of starting an adapter run.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5; exact model ID `gpt-5`; agentic tool use and repository
review.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Managed deployments provision a platform-managed default environment
for agent runs; the UI shows this environment in selectors, the agent
form, run details, and the environments page
> - Those surfaces append the raw driver key to the environment name, so
users see labels like "Paperclip Computer (sandbox)", "Paperclip
Computer · sandbox", and fallback copy such as "Managed sandbox" and
"The sandbox has no ready authentication"
> - "sandbox" is infrastructure vocabulary, not the product name of the
environment; showing it next to the managed environment's name is
confusing and off-brand
> - This pull request renders platform-managed environments by name
alone and rewords the sandbox-phrased copy, while user-created
environments keep the driver suffix so mixed lists stay distinguishable
> - The benefit is that the default environment reads as one clear
product name everywhere, and self-hosted users lose nothing: their own
environments still show the driver
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Display of the platform-managed default environment across the UI.
**Subsystem affected**
UI (environment selectors, agent config form, environments page, agents
page, run details) and the claude-local/codex-local adapter auth checks.
**Current behavior**
The agent form labels the inherited default environment as "Name
(sandbox)". Environment selectors and the environments list render "Name
· sandbox". The agents page describes the environment as "<provider>
sandbox provider". The agent form's fallback label is "Managed sandbox".
Adapter auth checks say "The sandbox has no ready authentication for
this adapter."
**Proposed behavior**
Platform-managed environment rows (`metadata.managedByPaperclip`) render
their name alone. The fallback label is "Paperclip Computer". The agents
page describes managed environments as "Managed by Paperclip". Run
details omit the driver suffix for sandbox-driver environments (the
adjacent Provider entry already identifies the mechanism). Adapter auth
checks say "This environment has no ready authentication for this
adapter."
**Reason and benefit**
The managed environment carries a product name. Appending the raw driver
key ("sandbox") to it is noise and contradicts the product naming.
User-created environments keep the driver suffix, so mixed lists stay
distinguishable.
**Breaking changes**
None. Message text of the auth check is not read programmatically; the
UI keys off `ADAPTER_AUTH_MISSING_CHECK_CODE`. Rows without the managed
marker render exactly as before.
## What Changed
- New `environmentDisplayLabel` helper in
`ui/src/lib/managed-sandbox-environment.ts`: managed rows → name alone;
other rows → "Name · driver".
- `AgentConfigForm`: inherited-default label uses the helper; fallback
copy "Managed sandbox" → "Paperclip Computer"; environment options use
the helper.
- `ProjectProperties`, `CompanyEnvironments`: environment selector
options use the helper; the environments-list row hides the driver
suffix on managed rows; the managed detail page's fallback description
no longer says "sandbox".
- `Agents` page: managed environments are described as "Managed by
Paperclip" instead of "<provider> sandbox provider".
- `CommentThread` run details: the driver suffix is omitted for
sandbox-driver environments.
- claude-local and codex-local adapters: auth-missing check message/hint
reworded from "sandbox" to "environment" (ACP and environment-test
paths); claude-local probe/effort/login hints reworded the same way.
- Run status lines: "Syncing workspace to sandbox", "Exporting git
changes from sandbox", "Starting adapter in sandbox", and friends now
say "environment"; "Finalizing sandbox workspace" → "Finalizing
workspace". Templated transfer-progress lines map the `sandbox`
transport key to "environment" for display (`runtime-progress.ts`).
- Agent form sign-in panel: "Sign in to the sandbox" → "Sign in to the
environment"; "Authenticated. The sandbox has credentials now." → "…The
environment has credentials now."
- Feature catalog + instance settings card: "Managed Sandbox Only" →
"Managed Environment Only" (setting key unchanged; the card keeps its
alphabetical slot).
- Server agents routes: execution-target failure and test-identity copy
no longer say "sandbox"; workspace-mode label "Cloud sandbox" → "Cloud
environment".
- Tests: new `environmentDisplayLabel` unit cases; new `AgentConfigForm`
render case asserting the managed default renders without "(sandbox)" or
"· sandbox"; status-line assertions updated across adapter-utils, server
heartbeat/live-run, and UI chat suites.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — clean.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local typecheck` and
`--filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local typecheck` — clean.
- `vitest run` for `managed-sandbox-environment.test.ts`,
`AgentConfigForm.render.test.tsx`, `CompanyEnvironments.test.tsx`,
`Agents.test.tsx`, `CommentThread.test.tsx`, `NewAgent.test.tsx` — all
green (118 tests across the two runs).
## Risks
Low risk. Cosmetic label changes only; no data or API changes. Rows
without `metadata.managedByPaperclip` render exactly as before, so
self-hosted deployments with their own environments see no change. The
only self-hosted-visible wording changes are the adapter auth-check
message and the driver suffix omission on sandbox-driver rows in run
details.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip uses duplex routes to carry data from plugin workers.
> - PR #11860 added the product fix for buffered data after an early
route end.
> - The fix needs a regression test for a listener that binds after the
byte cap ends the route.
> - This pull request adds that test and protects the fix from later
regressions.
> - The benefit is clear test coverage for late-listener delivery.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This pull request adds regression coverage for the fix in [PR
#11860](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/11860).
The product fix already exists on `master`. Before that fix, a late
listener could receive no data after the byte cap ended the route. The
test sends two three-byte `€` chunks to a route with a four-byte cap,
waits for route end, then binds the listener. It expects the first valid
chunk.
## What Changed
- Add one server regression test for late-listener delivery after
byte-cap route termination.
- Keep the product code unchanged in this pull request.
## Verification
- The test passes on the current branch.
- PR #11860 merged the product fix into `master` at commit
`33eb68b3ae4ce7ee27b31c59bd41db600ad47d19`.
- GitHub CI passes on the current head.
- Greptile reports 5/5 with no blocking finding.
## Risks
Low risk. This pull request changes one test file and no product code,
schema, public API, or authentication flow.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5. Runtime model ID: GPT-5. Context window: not exposed in
this run. Capabilities used: repository review, GitHub operations, and
tool use. The implementation came from the engineer's authorized test
commit.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The Claude ACP Test lane returned `status: "pass"` without checking
authentication for some local and non-sandbox targets. Separately, the
shared `/companies/:companyId/adapters/:type/test-environment` route —
used by every local-driver adapter, not only Claude — accepted a foreign
environment id, and its UI resolution did not mirror the server's
managed-sandbox-only redirect.
**Expected behavior**
The Test lane checks the resolved credential and hello probe for every
Claude ACP target. The shared adapter Test route rejects a foreign
environment before it reveals environment details or starts a lease, for
any adapter type. The Test's environment resolution (UI and server)
matches the real run's three-tier resolution, including the
managed-sandbox-only redirect.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the Claude ACP Test lane against a local target without a valid
credential.
2. Run the adapter Test route with an environment id from another
company (any adapter type).
3. Observe the pass result on step 1, or the missing tenant-binding
rejection on step 2.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`933749e01f74e82ce5d315c071be534d04e01158`
**Deployment mode**
Local dev (`pnpm dev`) and server route tests.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Claude Code directly (the ACP auth-verification work). The
tenant-binding guard, managed-sandbox-only redirect, and UI three-tier
resolution apply to the shared adapter Test route and affect every
local-driver adapter (Codex, Gemini, OpenCode, Pi, Cursor, etc.), not
only Claude — see "What Changed" below for the split between Claude-only
and shared changes.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Access context**
Both board and agent paths use the affected Test surface, for every
local-driver adapter.
**Additional context**
Two commits that were previously bundled into this PR — a
`plugin-worker-manager` duplex-channel frame-bound fix and a
`workspace-runtime` exit-persist crash fix — are unrelated to the
adapter Test lane and have been split out into their own PRs: #11860 and
#11861.
## What Changed
Claude-only (`packages/adapters/claude-local`):
- Verify `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` and run the hello probe for every
Claude ACP target.
- Keep `adapter_auth_missing` sandbox-only and report missing
non-sandbox credentials as a warning.
- Add a deny-by-default probe environment builder for the ACP and CLI
local probes.
- Log only fixed probe context and allowlisted classifications.
- Seed the host OAuth token into the hello probe environment.
Shared, cross-adapter (`server/src/routes/agents.ts`,
`ui/src/lib/adapter-test-environment.ts`,
`ui/src/components/AgentConfigForm.tsx`,
`ui/src/components/OnboardingWizard.tsx`):
- Add a company-binding guard and a binding assertion for the generic
`/companies/:companyId/adapters/:type/test-environment` route, so a
foreign-company environment id is rejected before any secret resolution
or sandbox lease, for every adapter type.
- Resolve all three server environment tiers (agent default, instance
default, local default) in the UI, and add the managed-sandbox-only
redirect so the Test probes the same target a real run would use.
- Enforce onboarding Test results: block hire on a failed environment
test.
- Add regression tests for authentication, tenant binding, probe safety,
diagnostics, and UI resolution.
## Verification
- Adapter suites pass for the Claude local server probe, remote, ACP,
auth, probe environment, and config paths.
- Server route tests pass, including the five tenant-binding cases.
- UI adapter Test environment resolver tests pass for all three
resolution tiers.
- Adapter package `tsc --noEmit` exits 0.
- Full CI must pass on this pull request.
## Risks
The probe environment now denies caller variables by default. A required
variable that is not on the allowlist could stop a probe from starting.
The route now rejects foreign environment ids with a fixed 403 response.
The managed-sandbox-only redirect changes where the Test (and the login
affordance) probes for every local-driver adapter under that policy, not
only Claude — operators running other local adapters under
managed-sandbox-only will see their Test target move from local to the
managed sandbox, matching what real runs already do. The change limits
secret and diagnostic exposure.
## Model Used
Original implementation: OpenAI Codex, GPT-5; exact context window not
exposed in that run; tool use and code execution.
This revision (commit split and title/description correction): Claude,
Sonnet 5 (claude-sonnet-5). The original title and description described
this PR as Claude-only; review found it also changes the shared adapter
Test route and UI resolution used by every local-driver adapter, and
carried two unrelated server fixes. Claude split those two commits into
#11860 and #11861 via `git rebase --onto` (verified byte-identical to
the original tree minus those commits) and rewrote this description to
reflect the actual scope. No functional code in this PR was authored by
Claude.

baseline, adds a drift check, and gives users actionable startup
guidance when their runtime is too old.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #739
## What Changed
- Require Node.js 24.11.0 or newer in all 42 package manifests and
runtime checks.
- Use Node.js 24 in GitHub Actions, Docker images, smoke images, sandbox
setup, portable installs, and esbuild targets.
- Align every direct `@types/node` declaration on `^24.0.0`.
- Prevent Dependabot from opening major `@types/node` upgrades without a
matching runtime decision.
- Add `.nvmrc` and a CI policy check for Node version drift.
- Update ACP version gates, tests, and user documentation for the new
minimum.
- Print a non-blocking warning on CLI and server startup when Node is
unsupported, with remediation through a version manager or the
documented downloaded `install.sh` workflow.
- Deduplicate that warning when `paperclipai run` boots the CLI and
server in the same process.
## Verification
- `node scripts/check-node-version-policy.mjs`
- `node --check scripts/check-node-version-policy.mjs`
- `node --check cli/esbuild.config.mjs`
- `node --check scripts/generate-npm-package-json.mjs`
- `bash -n scripts/install.sh scripts/test-install-sh-docker.sh
scripts/e2e-install-lifecycle.sh`
- Parsed all 42 package manifests and confirmed `engines.node` is
`>=24.11.0`.
- `git diff --check`
- `vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-install-command.test.ts` passed with
3 tests.
- `vitest run cli/src/node-version.test.ts` passed with 4 tests.
- Directly exercised the shared warning helper for unsupported-version
messaging and same-process deduplication.
- The focused exe.dev suite could not resolve the locally unbuilt plugin
SDK from this isolated worktree. A full offline workspace install was
also blocked because the package-manager signature verifier requires
registry access. The full suite was not run locally; draft CI performs a
clean install and evaluates the wider impact.
## Risks
- This is a breaking runtime change for users, plugins, and deployments
that still use Node.js 20 or 22.
- Published workspace packages will now produce an engine warning or
failure in strict package managers on older Node.js releases.
- Node.js 24 can reveal dependency, native module, Playwright, or agent
CLI compatibility issues in CI.
- The bootstrap installer now installs Node.js 24 when the current
runtime is older than 24.11.0.
- The portable sandbox fallback is pinned to Node.js 24.11.0 and depends
on that upstream tarball remaining available.
- Unsupported runtimes continue booting after a warning, so a later
incompatibility can still fail at its point of use.
- The CLI and server share the warning policy through the published
`@paperclipai/shared` package; packaging checks must keep that subpath
export available.
- This PR does not commit `pnpm-lock.yaml` because repository policy
assigns lockfile generation to CI.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing GitHub issue covers this. Filing it directly here, following
the bug report template.
**What happened?**
Two duplex channel route bounds in
`server/src/services/plugin-worker-manager.ts` did not hold when the
data and exit frames arrived in the open-reply read batch, before the
route bound:
- The pre-open hold and the pre-bind buffered-frame bound shared one
limit. When a caller lowered the buffered bound, the hold dropped the
overflow frame as a protocol error before the buffered bound could end
the route, so the route never ended.
- The route end discarded the buffered chunks. A frame can end the route
during the replay, before a listener attaches, and the chunks the host
accepted before that frame are valid data.
**Expected behavior**
The pre-open hold uses its own ceiling, above the buffered bound, so the
replay after the bind lets the buffered bound end the route. A route end
keeps the buffered chunks so a listener that attaches after the end
still drains them.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open a duplex channel where the worker batches several data frames
with the open reply.
2. Lower `maxPreBindBufferedFrames` below the batch size.
3. Observe the route fails to end on the buffered-frame bound, or a
listener that attaches after an end-during-replay never receives the
chunks buffered before that end.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`933749e01f74e82ce5d315c071be534d04e01158`
**Deployment mode**
Local dev (`pnpm dev`) and server unit tests.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
None — this is host/plugin-worker transport infrastructure, not
adapter-specific.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Access context**
Any board or agent path that runs a plugin worker over a duplex channel
route.
## What Changed
- Give the pre-open frame hold its own ceiling
(`MAX_DUPLEX_CHANNEL_PRE_OPEN_HOLD_FRAMES`), separate from the pre-bind
buffered-frame bound, so lowering the buffered bound still ends the
route instead of being pre-empted by the hold.
- Keep the buffered chunks on a route end instead of discarding them, so
a listener that attaches after an end-during-replay still drains the
data the host already accepted.
- Add two regression tests that batch frames with the open reply, so
both bounds run through the pre-bind path deterministically.
## Verification
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/plugin-worker-manager-duplex.test.ts` — 24/24 tests pass,
including the two new regression cases.
## Risks
Low risk. This only changes bound bookkeeping on an internal transport
path (frame hold ceiling and end-time buffer retention); it does not
change the wire protocol or any public API. The new ceiling is a
constant above the existing buffered bound, so pre-open holds are still
capped.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A runtime service (e.g. a dev server an agent started) runs as a
child process tracked against a project row
> - When that child exits on its own, the host records its terminal
status in the database as a detached, best-effort persist
> - A caller can delete the project (or company) while the child still
runs, so the `project_id` foreign key rejects that persist, and the
detached write had no error handler, turning the rejection into an
unhandled crash
> - This pull request wraps the exit-time persist in a try/catch and
logs the failure instead of crashing the host
> - The benefit is a host that survives a project deleted out from under
a still-running runtime service, instead of taking down the whole
process on an unrelated cleanup
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing GitHub issue covers this. Filing it directly here, following
the bug report template.
**What happened?**
`registerRuntimeService`'s child `exit` handler in
`server/src/services/workspace-runtime.ts` runs a detached, unawaited
persist of the terminal service status. If the parent project row was
deleted while the service was still running, the `project_id` foreign
key rejects the write. The detached persist had no error handler, so the
rejection surfaced as an unhandled promise rejection and could crash the
host.
**Expected behavior**
The exit-time persist is best effort: every error inside it is caught
and logged, so a foreign-key rejection (or any other persist failure)
never crashes the host.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a runtime service tied to a project.
2. Delete the project (or company) while the service is still running.
3. Let the child process exit on its own.
4. Observe the detached persist throws an unhandled foreign-key error.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`933749e01f74e82ce5d315c071be534d04e01158`
**Deployment mode**
Local dev (`pnpm dev`) and server unit tests (embedded Postgres).
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
None — this is runtime-service lifecycle infrastructure, not
adapter-specific.
**Database mode**
Embedded/managed Postgres — the fix concerns the `project_id` foreign
key on the runtime-service table.
**Access context**
Any board or agent path that starts a runtime service (e.g. a dev
server) tied to a project that can later be deleted.
## What Changed
- Wrap the exit-handler's `cleanupRecordExposure` /
`removeLocalServiceRegistryRecord` / `persistRuntimeServiceRecord`
sequence in a try/catch; log a warning on failure instead of letting the
rejection escape.
- Terminate real child processes in the embedded-postgres test teardown
before the row deletes, so a left-over child does not exit later and
write a row that references an already-deleted project.
## Verification
- `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts`
covers the new exit-persist-after-parent-delete regression case. This
suite spins up embedded Postgres and did not finish inside this review's
local time budget, so I did not confirm a local pass — deferring to CI,
which runs it as part of the normal server test job.
## Risks
Low risk. The change only adds error handling around an existing
best-effort, detached persist — it does not change the happy-path
behavior or the persisted schema. A persist failure is now logged
instead of crashing the host, which is strictly safer.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The instance settings surface (Access, Plugins, Adapters, General,
Experimental) assumes the person at the keyboard operates the whole
instance
> - Operators who host Paperclip for others — a managed cloud or an
internal shared server — expose settings pages and toggles that do not
apply to their deployment, and the related mutation APIs stay open
> - A hosted tenant can open Plugins or Adapters, try an action, and hit
a confusing failure, because only a few hardcoded platform floors exist
> - This pull request adds a generic, operator-configured visibility
mechanism: one env var hides declared settings surfaces in the UI and
floors their mutation routes with a stable 403 code
> - The benefit is a clean hosted-tenant settings surface for any
operator, with zero behavior change for normal self-hosted instances
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Instance settings (server routes and UI), the shared settings registry
in `packages/shared`, and the `/api/health` bootstrap payload.
**Problem or motivation**
An operator who hosts Paperclip for other people cannot hide settings
surfaces that the platform manages. Tenants see Access, Plugins, and
Adapters pages, backup retention, and host-level experimental toggles
that do nothing useful for them. The mutation APIs behind these surfaces
also stay open, so a tenant admin can attempt actions the platform must
control. ROADMAP.md names a cleaner shared deployment story as a goal
("Teams should be able to run the same product in hosted or semi-hosted
environments without changing the mental model").
**Proposed solution**
Add a declarative registry of hideable settings surfaces and one env
var, `PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS`. The server parses the list at boot,
reports it on `/api/health`, and rejects value-changing writes to hidden
surfaces with a stable `settings_operator_managed` 403 code. The UI
reads the list from the health payload and removes the hidden pages,
sections, and toggles from navigation, routes, and page content. Unknown
keys warn and are ignored, so one list can roll across a fleet with
mixed app versions. With the variable unset, behavior is byte-identical
to today.
**Alternatives considered**
- Hardcode the hidden set for cloud instances in this repo: rejected,
because each hosting operator needs a different policy, and policy does
not belong in shared code.
- Deliver the hidden set through the managed-config document: rejected,
because that channel is cloud-specific and fail-closed on unknown
fields; a plain env var works for any operator, including self-hosted
shared servers.
- Lock the controls with a badge instead of hiding them: rejected for
these surfaces, because they are meaningless to tenants, not merely
platform-controlled; the existing managed-overlay lock stays the right
tool for controlled flags.
**Roadmap alignment**
Supports the "shared deployment story" item in ROADMAP.md: hosted and
semi-hosted deployments keep the same product with a settings surface
that matches what the tenant can actually do.
## What Changed
- New `packages/shared/src/settings-visibility.ts`: registry of hideable
surfaces (every instance settings page — profile, environments, access,
heartbeats, experimental, plugins, adapters; every Instance → General
section; every experimental flag as `instance.experimental.<key>`), the
`PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS` parser, and the `settings_operator_managed`
error code. The General page stays visible as the settings root and
redirect target.
- New `server/src/services/settings-visibility.ts`: parse-once accessor;
unknown keys log one warning and are ignored.
- `/api/health` reports `hiddenSettings` on every response shape; the
field is omitted when nothing is hidden.
- Server floors on hidden surfaces, with same-value echo tolerance (the
`executionMode` precedent): field-backed general sections and
experimental keys reject value-changing PATCHes, and hiding the whole
Experimental page floors every toggle; plugin lifecycle and config
writes, adapter management writes, and the Access admin routes (reads
included) return 403 `settings_operator_managed`. Reads the app itself
needs (plugin `ui-contributions`, adapter metadata, plugin job trigger)
stay open. Pages without instance-scoped mutation routes are hidden in
the UI only.
- UI: new `useHiddenSettings` hook and `HiddenSettingsPageGate` route
gate (hidden pages redirect to the settings root); the settings sidebar
and tab bar drop hidden entries; remembered settings paths remap to the
default page; `InstanceGeneralSettings` skips hidden sections; every
`ExperimentalToggleCard` now carries its flag key and renders nothing
when hidden.
- Removed the dead `InstanceSidebar` component (referenced only by its
own test).
- Docs: `docs/deploy/environment-variables.md` documents the variable
and the key registry.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run` over the new and extended suites: shared registry
and parser, representative floor tests per route class (changed-value
403, same-value echo 200, unset env 200, page-level Experimental
hiding), the health field, the route gate, nav filtering, and
section/card hiding with one hidden example per surface kind — 168 tests
pass.
- Full root `pnpm typecheck` passes.
- Manual: booted a server with the variable set. `/api/health` lists the
keys; an unknown key logs one warning and the server boots; hidden pages
redirect; hidden sections and cards do not render; hidden-field PATCH
returns 403 with `details.code = "settings_operator_managed"`; a
same-value echo returns 200. Unset the variable: the full settings
surface returns and responses are byte-identical to master.
## Risks
- Low risk for self-hosted instances: with the variable unset, the
hidden set is empty, the health field is omitted, and no floor
activates.
- Flooring plugin config writes assumes hosted deployments configure
plugins through the platform. If a future bundled plugin needs
tenant-entered config, the floor needs a narrow carve-out.
- Hidden-key floors tolerate same-value echoes, so API clients that
round-trip full GET responses keep working.
- Hiding a toggle does not change its value; operators pair hiding with
the desired default where the value matters.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11761
**What happened?**
The ACPX engine used the full summary strategy when an adapter did not
set `summaryStrategy`. That strategy joined all text deltas, including
thought-stream text and intermediate narration. The heartbeat finalizer
could then store that summary as an issue comment.
**Expected behavior**
An automatic issue comment must use only the final output segment.
Configuration must not allow thought-stream text or intermediate
narration into that summary.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run an ACPX adapter without a configured `summaryStrategy`.
2. Emit an output delta, a thought delta, a tool call, and a final
output delta.
3. Read the generated run summary.
4. Observe that the old default included all text deltas.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`54b8bec44417511c623999613f9f1006f8af0517`
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with a local ACPX adapter.
## What Changed
- Limit ACPX run summaries to the final non-empty output segment.
- Ignore the legacy full-summary setting so configuration cannot bypass
containment.
- Update regression tests for the safe default and an attempted unsafe
override.
## Verification
- Observed the new guard fail before the implementation change because
the summary contained thought text.
- Ran `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts -t "defaults run
summaries to the final output segment without thought text|does not
allow configuration to include thought text in run summaries"`. Result:
2 passed.
- Ran `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts`. Result: 130
passed.
- Ran `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck`. Result:
passed.
## Risks
- Run summaries are shorter for adapters that relied on full text
aggregation.
- The old `summaryStrategy: "full"` setting no longer changes summary
behavior. This is an intentional containment change.
- The change does not alter run logs or tool events. It changes only the
summary selected for downstream use.
> This is a focused security and privacy bug fix. It does not add
roadmap scope.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex on the GPT-5 family. The runtime did not expose the exact
model ID or context-window size. Reasoning, tool use, terminal
execution, and code editing were enabled.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The control plane must keep each active issue on a clear execution
or recovery path.
> - A missing issue disposition can require more than one bounded repair
attempt.
> - A server restart could lose that repair path or move source
ownership to the recovery owner.
> - A parked or expired retry could also make the user interface show a
false healthy state.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A run that ended without a valid issue disposition could lose its repair
path after a server restart. Manager recovery could also change the
source owner. In addition, a parked or expired retry could make the
issue look healthy when no active work existed. Concurrent
reconciliation could also schedule the same repair attempt twice.
**Expected behavior**
Paperclip must keep bounded source and manager repair attempts across
restarts. Recovery ownership must stay separate from source issue
ownership. The server and user interface must report only a live retry
as active work. Each repair attempt must be scheduled at most once per
company.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start an agent run on an issue.
2. End the run without a valid issue disposition.
3. Let the first repair attempt schedule a retry.
4. Restart the server, let the retry time pass without a live run, or
start two reconciliation loops together.
5. Observe that the repair path can stop, the issue can show a false
healthy state, or duplicate retries can be created.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The problem existed on `master` before candidate head
`d8e620fe86bade7df18decac332007f5821ae04f`.
**Deployment mode**
The problem affects self-hosted servers and local builds that use
automatic recovery.
## What Changed
- Persist bounded source-owner and manager repair lineages with stable
fingerprints and retry limits.
- Resume incomplete disposition repairs after a server restart.
- Keep recovery ownership separate from source issue ownership and
enforce source mutation authority.
- Project live retry evidence into issue and blocker summaries.
- Show recovery owner, return owner, attempt count, and retry state in
the board user interface.
- Treat expired or parked retries as attention states unless a queued or
running attempt exists.
- Atomically deduplicate disposition-repair wake requests with a
company-scoped partial unique index.
- Reuse the winning run when concurrent reconciliation loses the
uniqueness race, without duplicate scheduling activity.
- Honor disabled on-demand wake policy before recovery scheduling and
again before delayed retry promotion.
- Keep the new index migration safe for lagging seeded databases that
already contain the index.
- Add server and user interface tests for recovery, restart, ownership,
retry, concurrency, and blocker states.
- Update the implementation and execution semantics documents.
## Verification
- Focused server recovery and ownership suites: 282 tests passed on the
repaired base candidate.
- Focused user interface recovery suites: 128 tests passed on the
repaired base candidate.
- Atomic-deduplication schema and recovery suites: 111 tests passed on
the first Greptile repair.
- Recovery and scheduled-retry wake-policy suites: 126 tests passed at
`d8e620fe86bade7df18decac332007f5821ae04f`.
- The exact lagging-source migration-order test passed after the index
migration became idempotent: 1 test passed and 62 unrelated tests were
skipped.
- `@paperclipai/db` and `@paperclipai/server` typechecks passed at the
current head.
- Migration generation and migration safety checks passed for migration
`0226_tan_colossus.sql`.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed on the repaired base candidate.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed on the repaired base candidate.
- `pnpm build` passed on the repaired base candidate.
- `pnpm test:run` passed 4,540 tests on the repaired base candidate.
Four fixed-port cases met listeners that already existed on the host.
- The two unchanged fixed-port files passed in an isolated network
namespace: 129 tests passed and 27 tests were skipped.
- Independent Security and QA reviews approved
`63c0423aab54c66f2293a20b0fb3f3b013ee3ba8`; exact-head re-review is
required after automated checks settle on
`d8e620fe86bade7df18decac332007f5821ae04f`.
## Risks
- Recovery orchestration affects issue liveness and ownership. The new
paths use bounded attempts, stable fingerprints, row locks, authority
checks, and database uniqueness.
- A conservative attention state can show more warnings when a scheduled
retry has no queued or running attempt. It does not hide stopped work.
- Migration `0226_tan_colossus.sql` creates a partial unique index on a
known-large table. Migrations run transactionally, so `CONCURRENTLY` is
unavailable. The matching disposition-repair key namespace is introduced
by this release, so deployed databases have no matching rows before the
index is added.

first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex from the GPT-5 model family used agentic reasoning, tool
use, and code execution. The runtime did not expose the exact model ID
or context window.
- Anthropic Claude Opus 5 used a 1M context window, tool use, and code
execution for part of the user interface repair, as recorded in the
commit history.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Local agent adapters (`claude_local`, `gemini_local`, `grok_local`,
…) are the integration surface that lets Paperclip run coding CLIs on
the host machine
> - The Kimi Code CLI (`kimi`, Moonshot AI) has a documented
non-interactive mode, `kimi -p --output-format stream-json` with session
resume via `kimi -r`, but Paperclip has no built-in adapter for it
> - So Kimi users (especially Kimi membership / OAuth subscribers)
cannot onboard their CLI to Paperclip agent teams
> - This pull request adds a complete built-in `kimi_local` adapter
(both execution engines, session management, instructions + skills
delivery, thinking-effort control, environment test, UI and CLI modules,
docs) following the established `gemini_local`/`grok_local` package
pattern
> - Kimi Code ships an ACP server (`kimi acp`), so the adapter runs on
Paperclip's shared acpx engine by default (streaming transcript with
live tool status, like `claude_local`/`gemini_local`) and falls back to
a headless CLI lane (`kimi -p --output-format stream-json`) when ACP
prerequisites are unavailable
> - The benefit is that Kimi Code becomes a first-class Paperclip agent
lane: selectable in the UI, resumable across heartbeats, with the same
operating context (instruction bundle, skills, effort) and streaming
transcript the other local adapters get
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Supersedes #9880 (same branch; expanded from the CLI-only lane into a
complete adapter with the default ACP engine lane, control-plane skill
install, and live transcript wiring)
- Refs #9879 (adapter request for Kimi Code CLI, filed with this PR)
- Refs #163 (original Kimi support request)
Duplicate/related prior PRs, per the dedup search (both appear stale: no
updates or maintainer review since May 2026, and both target an older
Kimi CLI interface; calling them out for reviewer context per
CONTRIBUTING.md):
- Refs #6276 (`feat: add kimi-local adapter`): targets an older
array-based content format (`{type: think}`/`{type: text}` blocks), not
the current documented stream-json schema
- Refs #5202 (`feat(adapter): add Kimi CLI local adapter with Wire
protocol support`): builds on a `--wire` JSON-RPC interface that current
Kimi Code CLI (0.27.0) no longer documents; the current documented
headless interface is `-p --output-format stream-json`
This PR is a fresh implementation against current master and the
currently documented/verified Kimi CLI behavior (see Verification).
Happy to fold in anything useful from the earlier attempts if a reviewer
prefers.
## What Changed
- **New adapter package** `packages/adapters/kimi-local`
(`@paperclipai/adapter-kimi-local`), modeled on
`gemini-local`/`grok-local`:
- `src/server/execute.ts`: spawns `kimi -p <prompt> --output-format
stream-json` (argv array, no shell), `-m <model>` only when configured,
`-r <sessionId>` when the stored session cwd matches the run cwd,
automatic fresh-session retry on unrecoverable-session errors,
headless-safe env (`CI=1`, `NO_COLOR=1`, `KIMI_CODE_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1`,
`TERM=dumb`; user-configured values win), full remote (ssh/sandbox)
execution lane with runtime install via `@moonshot-ai/kimi-code`
- **Instruction bundle delivery**: the prompt path directive now names
the sibling instruction files (`./HEARTBEAT.md`, `./SOUL.md`,
`./TOOLS.md`) alongside the prepended entry file, and local runs pass
`--add-dir <instructions-dir>` so Kimi can actually open them (matching
`claude_local`). Without this, only the entry file reached Kimi and
agents improvised the operating workflow that `HEARTBEAT.md` documents
- **Thinking effort**: a configured `effort` is forwarded as the
`KIMI_MODEL_THINKING_EFFORT` operational override (Kimi has no
per-invocation effort flag). It is only sent for models that advertise
`support_efforts` (currently `kimi-code/k3`) to avoid provider
rejections, and `medium` maps to `high` since Kimi has no medium tier
(`low`/`high`/`max` pass through)
- **Skills delivery**: desired Paperclip skills are delivered via Kimi's
`--skills-dir` flag from a dedicated per-run directory (a local
snapshot, or the synced snapshot on remote targets), so skills load
reliably and in isolation. Paperclip never overwrites the shared
`$KIMI_CODE_HOME/skills` home, so skills installed by the operator or
other agents are left intact. `--skills-dir` is only passed when at
least one skill is desired, so unconfigured agents keep Kimi's default
skill discovery
- **Live run status**: the adapter now forwards each streamed
stream-json line to `onEvent` (assistant `content` as an assistant
snippet, `tool_calls` as tool-name events), which drives the
issue-thread activity indicator (`currentToolName` /
`lastAssistantSnippet` / `lastEventAt`). Previously the adapter only
wrote the raw run log, so the issue thread showed a stale "no output for
N s" line with no tool or reasoning context while Kimi worked. Tool
results are omitted so the last meaningful "Using X" / snippet is not
overwritten by a generic label
- `src/server/parse.ts`: parses the verified Kimi stream-json event
shapes (`assistant` text, `assistant.tool_calls` with JSON-string
arguments, `tool` results, trailing `meta.session.resume_hint` for
session-id capture) plus failure classifiers (`kimi_auth_required`,
transient network, unrecoverable session). A signaled exit (null exit
code, not a timeout) is now reported as a failure rather than coalesced
to success, and the error message names the terminating signal
- `src/server/skills.ts`: lists/syncs Paperclip skills for the adapter's
skill-management surface
- `src/server/test.ts`: environment test covering CLI resolution + `kimi
--version`, cwd check, auth detection (OAuth credential dirs, keyed
`[providers.*]` in config.toml, or the `KIMI_MODEL_NAME` +
`KIMI_MODEL_API_KEY` env pair), and a live hello probe
- `src/ui/` (stdout-line parser for transcripts, config builder) and
`src/cli/` (stream event formatter) modules
- Root metadata: three managed model aliases
(`kimi-code/kimi-for-coding`, `kimi-code/kimi-for-coding-highspeed`,
`kimi-code/k3`), effort-capable-model metadata (`EFFORT_CAPABLE_MODELS`,
effort mapping helpers), `agentConfigurationDoc`
- Tests: 101 tests across parse, execute (args building, resume gating,
retry, auth error code, timeout, signaled-exit failure, effort
forwarding/gating/mapping, `--add-dir` instructions directive,
`--skills-dir` gating, `onEvent` runtime-event forwarding), ACP engine
(engine resolution, acpx config build, node-version gate), ACP
transcript delegation, environment test, UI parse/build-config
- **ACP engine lane (default)** (`src/server/acp.ts` + shared
`adapter-utils/acpx-engine`): Kimi Code ships an ACP server (`kimi
acp`), so `kimi_local` now runs on Paperclip's shared acpx engine by
default, matching `claude_local`/`codex_local`/`gemini_local`. The
issue-thread transcript streams live (assistant text deltas, tool calls
with a `pending`->`completed` status lifecycle) instead of the CLI
lane's bursty complete-message output. Registered `kimi_local -> "kimi"`
in `ACPX_ADAPTER_AGENT_IDS` and resolved the built-in agent command to
`kimi acp`; `execute.ts` dispatches to the ACP executor first with an
automatic CLI fallback when ACP prerequisites fail (`engine=acp`
requires ACP, `engine=cli` pins the headless lane); `index.ts` falls
back to the shared acpx session codec; the UI/CLI delegate `acpx.*`
events to the shared acpx transcript parser and event formatter. The
headless CLI lane (above) remains as the fallback
- **Registration** (one entry each, mirroring existing adapters): server
adapter registry + `BUILTIN_ADAPTER_TYPES`, `AGENT_ADAPTER_TYPES`
(shared), UI adapter registry + display registry (`Kimi Code`, Moon
icon) + capabilities defaults, CLI adapter registry, `Dockerfile`
(package copy + `npm install --global @moonshot-ai/kimi-code@latest`),
`vitest.config.ts` workspace, `scripts/release-package-manifest.json`
- **Behavioral sets** mirroring `gemini_local` (Kimi resumes sessions
the same way): `GIT_SENSITIVE_LOCAL_ADAPTER_TYPES`,
`SESSIONED_LOCAL_ADAPTERS` (heartbeat + recovery),
`REMOTE_MANAGED_ADAPTERS`, ssh/sandbox execution-target allow-lists,
`ADAPTER_DEFAULT_RULES_BY_TYPE` (`timeoutSec: 0`, `graceSec: 15`), and
`LEGACY_SESSIONED_ADAPTER_TYPES` + `ADAPTER_SESSION_MANAGEMENT` in
adapter-utils
- **UI touch-points**: New Agent default-model branch, AgentConfigForm
command map (`kimi_local: "kimi"`) + model defaults + a Kimi-specific
thinking-effort option list (`Low`/`High`/`Max`, reflecting Kimi's tiers
rather than borrowing Claude's), OnboardingWizard (command map, model
default, `kimi login` / `KIMI_MODEL_NAME + KIMI_MODEL_API_KEY` auth
hints, manual-debug command line), InviteLanding enabled adapters
- **Control-plane skill install** (`cli/src/commands/client/agent.ts`):
`paperclipai agent local-cli` seeded the Paperclip control-plane skills
into `~/.codex/skills` and `~/.claude/skills` so Codex/Claude agents
auto-discover the API reference every run. Kimi had no equivalent
target, so `kimi_local` agents began each session without the
control-plane skill and rediscovered routes (e.g. the company-scoped
`POST /api/companies/{companyId}/issues`) by trial and error. Added
`~/.kimi-code/skills` (honoring `KIMI_CODE_HOME`) as a third install
target for parity. Independent of the per-run `--skills-dir` delivery,
which only applies to explicitly configured skills.
- **Docs**: `docs/adapters/kimi-local.md` (prerequisites, auth options,
config fields including `effort`, session resume, instruction bundle,
skills delivery, control-plane skill install) + a row in
`docs/adapters/overview.md`
Out of scope (deliberately): model profiles, built-in agent
`allowedAdapterTypes` additions.
## Verification\n\nCurrent-master rebase verification (OpenAI Codex,
2026-08-03): 13 focused files / 231 tests pass; adapter-utils, server,
UI, CLI, and Kimi adapter typechecks pass; full repository build and UI
token gates pass. The branch is conflict-free against master at head
`1249df117c5e12e5771b9a570a6340866450619e`.\n\nAutomated (all from repo
root, pnpm 9.15.4, Node 22):
- `vitest run packages/adapters/kimi-local`: 89/89 pass (includes
coverage for the instruction `--add-dir` directive, effort
forwarding/gating/mapping, `--skills-dir` gating, the signaled-exit
failure path, and `onEvent` runtime-event forwarding with cross-chunk
line buffering)
- `vitest run server/src/__tests__/adapter-registry.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/adapter-routes.test.ts
server/src/services/heartbeat-stop-metadata.test.ts
ui/src/adapters/adapter-display-registry.test.ts`: 37/37 pass
- `vitest run cli/src/__tests__/skills.test.ts`: 13/13 pass (the
control-plane skill install target follows the existing Codex/Claude
install path, whose symlink logic is unchanged)
- `vitest run packages/shared`: 307/307 pass; `vitest run
packages/adapter-utils`: pass except one pre-existing, unrelated failure
(`mcp-isolation.integration.test.ts` requires Claude CLI ≥ 2.1.207; host
has 2.1.185, fails identically on unmodified master)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-kimi-local typecheck|build`, plus
typecheck of `server`, `ui`, `cli`, `adapter-utils`: all clean
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`: passes (the PR diff itself contains
no lockfile changes, per repo policy; verified against a locally
regenerated lockfile)
- `node scripts/check-no-git-push.mjs` and `node
scripts/check-forbidden-tokens.mjs`: pass
- CI note: the `policy` job's release-bootstrap step is expected to stay
red until a maintainer bootstraps the first npm publish of
`@paperclipai/adapter-kimi-local`; see the CI Note for Maintainers
comment. All other contributor-actionable checks are green.
Manual end-to-end (real Kimi CLI 0.27.0, OAuth login, dev server on an
isolated instance):
1. Server `GET /api/adapters` lists `kimi_local` as builtin with correct
capability flags; models endpoint returns the three Kimi models
2. `POST .../adapters/kimi_local/test-environment`: all checks pass,
including a live `kimi -p` hello probe
3. Created a `kimi_local` agent and invoked two heartbeats: run 1
spawned `kimi -p ... --output-format stream-json`, Kimi used its `Read`
tool, produced the expected answer, and the session id was captured from
the `session.resume_hint` meta event; run 2 resumed the **same** Kimi
session (`sessionIdBefore == sessionIdAfter`) via `-r`
4. UI: adapter appears in the New Agent dropdown; selecting it shows the
Kimi command placeholder, the three models, and the Kimi config fields;
the run transcript renders Kimi tool calls via the adapter's stdout
parser
The instruction-bundle, thinking-effort, and `--skills-dir` changes
landed after the manual run above. They are covered by the unit tests
listed under Automated, and the Kimi CLI flags they rely on
(`--add-dir`, `--skills-dir`, `KIMI_MODEL_THINKING_EFFORT`) were
confirmed against the installed Kimi Code CLI 0.27.0 (`kimi --help`,
config-file thinking-effort docs).
Screenshots (assets branch on the fork, not part of the diff):
## Risks
- Low risk to existing behavior: the change is additive, one new
workspace package plus single-entry registrations alongside existing
adapters; no existing adapter code paths are modified.
- The adapter invokes the locally installed `kimi` CLI; like other local
adapters, run behavior depends on the host's Kimi version. The parser is
written against the documented/verified 0.27.0 stream-json schema and
degrades gracefully (malformed lines are skipped, failures surface as
run errors).
- `--skills-dir` overrides Kimi's auto-discovery of user and project
skills for the run. This is intentional (paperclip-managed agents get a
reproducible, isolated skill set), and it is only passed when at least
one Paperclip skill is desired, so unconfigured agents keep default
discovery.
- Thinking effort is only forwarded to models that advertise
`support_efforts` (currently `kimi-code/k3`); `EFFORT_CAPABLE_MODELS`
must be extended when more Kimi models gain support, otherwise a
configured effort is silently ignored for them.
- `Dockerfile` now installs `@moonshot-ai/kimi-code@latest` globally
alongside the other agent CLIs, so image size increases slightly.
- Maintainer action needed for the npm bootstrap gate: the `policy`
job's release-bootstrap step fails until the first npm publish of
`@paperclipai/adapter-kimi-local` (the gate from #5146 that every new
adapter package has passed through). Enrollment with `publishFromCi:
true` is required by the manifest validator (dropping the entry,
`false`, or `private` are all rejected), so this is intentionally left
to a maintainer. Remaining CI lanes are expected to run once it is done.
## Model Used\n\n- **Current-master rebase, conflict adaptation, and
registry-parity coverage:** OpenAI, **GPT-5 Codex** (Codex agent; exact
serving model ID and context-window size were not exposed to the
runtime), with repository, shell, Git, and GitHub tooling. It preserved
Hawik’s commit authorship, reconciled ACPX and environment-capability
changes, added current registry tests, and ran the verification
above.\n- **Adapter implementation and initial review:** Moonshot AI,
**Kimi K3 Coding** (latest), via **Kimi Code CLI v0.27.0**
(`kimi-code/k3` alias, 1M-token context window, thinking mode, agentic
tool use). The CLI agent explored the repo, wrote the adapter
implementation (delegated to a coder sub-agent of the same model), ran
tests, and drafted the first version of this PR body. A second
model-driven review pass (read-only, same model) audited the diff for
security/correctness before submission; its findings (shell-quoting
hardening, auth-detection false positive, session-compaction
registration, test gaps) were fixed and are included.
- **Harness-context fixes and review responses:** Anthropic, **Claude
Opus 4.8** (`claude-opus-4-8`) via Claude Code. Diagnosed from run logs
that Kimi received only the entry instructions file (not the
`HEARTBEAT.md`/`SOUL.md`/`TOOLS.md` bundle) and that `effort` was never
wired, then implemented the instruction `--add-dir` delivery,
`KIMI_MODEL_THINKING_EFFORT` forwarding, and `--skills-dir` skill
delivery, added the accompanying tests and docs, and addressed the
automated review comments (preserving external skills on remote sync,
treating a signaled exit as a failure). Also extended the `paperclipai
agent local-cli` installer to seed the control-plane skills into
`~/.kimi-code/skills` for Codex/Claude parity, wired `onEvent` runtime
events so the issue-thread activity indicator reflects Kimi's tool and
reasoning output live, and built the ACP engine lane (`kimi acp` via the
shared acpx engine, default) so the transcript streams with live tool
status like the other ACP adapters. The Kimi CLI flags, subcommand, and
env var relied on here were verified against the installed Kimi Code CLI
0.27.0.
- All CLI behaviors claimed here (`-p`, `--output-format stream-json`,
`-r` resume, event shapes, `--add-dir`, `--skills-dir`,
`KIMI_MODEL_THINKING_EFFORT`) were verified empirically against the
installed Kimi CLI, not assumed.

## Maintainer Addendum (2026-08-20)
The shared acpx-engine and issue-chat changes (run-summary segmentation,
placeholder tool-event coalescing,
`ISSUE_CHAT_TRANSCRIPT_MAX_VISIBLE_ENTRIES` 30 → 400, live-reasoning UI)
have been **extracted to #11761** so the cross-adapter behavior changes
review and revert independently — both commits there preserve @hawikk's
authorship. This PR is now the kimi-specific adapter only (60 files,
+3,793/−8, essentially pure addition); the only shared-engine touch left
is the `kimi acp` command resolution. `publishFromCi` is `true` — the
package name is bootstrapped on npm.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The workspace runtime starts guest processes and exposes their
ports.
> - The readiness wait bound the guest port to test whether it was
ready.
> - That bind could take the port before the guest process used it.
> - This pull request reads listener state without a competing bind and
recovers from a real port collision.
> - The benefit is stable runtime exposure and a clear recovery path for
a genuine collision.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The managed HTTPS exposure test failed intermittently with `listen
EADDRINUSE` on `127.0.0.1:42000`. The readiness wait bound the guest
port before the guest process could bind it.
**Expected behavior**
The readiness wait must not hold the guest port. The runtime must
recover when an external process owns the assigned port.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run `npx vitest run
server/src/services/workspace-runtime-exposure.test.ts` from the
repository root.
2. Inject a delayed guest bind and a widened readiness-probe hold.
3. Observe the port collision before this fix and the successful retry
after this fix.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`b375bbd913cb2edc8e077f4339ce0745e53bd462`
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with the server test suite.
**Installation method**
Built from source with pnpm.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific. This is a core runtime test.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Relevant logs or output**
Before this fix, the test reported `listen EADDRINUSE: address already
in use 127.0.0.1:42000`.
## What Changed
- Read listener presence from `/proc` on Linux instead of binding the
guest port.
- Keep the bind probe as the fallback on non-Linux hosts.
- Capture the current port owner when an exposed guest exits with
`EADDRINUSE`.
- Quarantine the app and HMR pair, then allocate the next free port pair
within the existing range.
- Add a deterministic regression test for quarantine, re-allocation, and
self-diagnosis logging.
## Verification
- Run `npx vitest run
server/src/services/workspace-runtime-exposure.test.ts` from the
repository root.
- The target suite passes 19 tests locally.
- The related runtime suites pass 105, 128, and 21 tests locally.
- Run `tsc -p server/tsconfig.json` to check the changed server files.
- CI must pass the general server shard and all required checks.
- Greptile must report 5/5 with no open P2 comments, recommendations, or
follow-ups.
## Risks
The Linux readiness path now depends on `/proc` listener data. Non-Linux
hosts retain the existing bind-probe fallback. The port range and
allocation limit do not change.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5. This agent used tool calls for repository checks and
GitHub PR management. Priya Raman authored the code change.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server test suite gates every merge and every release cut.
> - Three server tests each failed exactly once on markdown-only or
unrelated diffs, then passed on rerun.
> - One of the three (the git-operation-scheduler owner/joiner race) was
fixed on master independently by
[#11671](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/11671) while this
PR was open, so after rebasing this pull request carries the remaining
two.
> - A flaky gate makes release operators rerun CI and stop trusting red
results.
> - Each remaining flake has a real nondeterminism: a teardown race and
a hard-coded host port.
> - This pull request removes the nondeterminism from the two tests
without weakening what they prove.
> - The benefit is a test gate that fails only when the product is
broken.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- [x] I searched open and closed issues and pull requests for these test
files and for these failures. I found no duplicate report or fix.
**What happened?**
Three one-off CI failures occurred during release operations, each on a
diff that could not have caused it, and each passed on rerun:
1. Run
[32086355930](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/32086355930):
`server/src/__tests__/interaction-resolution-cross-issue-cap-postgres.test.ts`
— all 7 tests passed, but vitest recorded an Unhandled Error and failed
the run: `TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'write')`
at `postgres@3.4.9/src/connection.js:255 Immediate.nextWrite`.
2. Run
[32096743814](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/32096743814):
`server/src/services/workspace-git-operation-scheduler.test.ts` — the
test "coalesces the same canonical key and cleans single-flight state
after success and failure" failed with an AssertionError: the two
concurrent calls came back with the `singleFlightJoined` values swapped.
*(Fixed on master by
[#11671](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/11671) with an
equivalent single-flight barrier while this PR was open; the fix was
dropped from this PR on rebase and the file is no longer touched here.)*
3. Run
[32196201529](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/32196201529):
`server/src/services/workspace-runtime-exposure.test.ts` — the test
"keeps an existing runtime port that is already inside the dedicated
range" failed once out of 610 recorded runs because the runtime came
back on a relocated port instead of the pinned 42500.
**Expected behavior**
The tests pass on every run when the code under test is correct. A red
result means a product defect, not scheduling luck on the CI host.
**Steps to reproduce**
Each flake is a low-probability race, but both remaining mechanisms
reproduce deterministically:
1. Postgres teardown: the suite never ends the postgres.js pool behind
`createDb`; `afterAll` only stops the embedded server. postgres.js
batches small writes and flushes them with `setImmediate`
(`connection.js` `nextWrite`), and `close()` nulls the socket. Stop the
server while the pool is open and a pending flush can run after the
socket is gone.
2. Exposure pinned port: hold any loopback socket on 42500 or 52500
(both are inside the default Linux ephemeral port range, 32768–60999)
and run the test. The allocator correctly relocates, and the assertion
fails with `expected 42000 to be 42500`. The client side of any loopback
connection on the CI host can land on those ports.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Branched from `master` at `4b968d8c0`; rebased onto `5a1ce7aed`.
**Privacy checklist**
I reviewed this description and removed private instance URLs, internal
task identifiers, credentials, and user paths.
## What Changed
Both fixes are test-side. I found no product race.
- `interaction-resolution-cross-issue-cap-postgres.test.ts`: `afterAll`
now ends the drizzle/postgres.js pool (`db.$client.end()`) before it
stops the embedded Postgres server. `end()` waits for in-flight queries,
including a fire-and-forget wake that lands just after a response, and
closes the sockets from the client side first. Sibling suites (for
example `heartbeat-plugin-environment.test.ts`) already use this order;
this suite had skipped the pool shutdown.
- `workspace-runtime-exposure.test.ts`: the pinned-port test no longer
hard-codes 42500. It scans the dedicated range with the suite's real
loopback probe, finds the lowest free app/HMR pair, then pins the next
free pair strictly above it. If the keep-preferred-port path broke, the
ascending fallback scan would return the lower pair, so the assertion
keeps its discriminating power while no longer betting on one fixed host
port staying free.
- *(Dropped on rebase: the `workspace-git-operation-scheduler.test.ts`
coalescing fix, superseded by the equivalent barrier merged in
[#11671](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/11671).)*
## Verification
- Reproduced the exposure flake exactly: with a listener held on
`127.0.0.1:52500`, the pre-fix test fails with `expected 42000 to be
42500`; the fixed test passes with the port still held.
- The postgres flake is a probabilistic teardown race and I could not
trigger it on demand. The mechanism is established from `postgres@3.4.9`
source (`setImmediate`-batched `nextWrite` versus `close()` nulling the
socket) and the fix removes the whole class by closing the pool before
the server.
- Repeat runs after the fix: the pinned-port exposure test 20/20 green
while the Postgres suite looped concurrently for loopback churn;
`interaction-resolution-cross-issue-cap-postgres.test.ts` 15/15 green
with no unhandled errors.
- Re-verified after rebasing onto `5a1ce7aed`: both changed test files
pass and `tsc --noEmit` passes in `server/`.
- Environment note: three unrelated tests in
`workspace-runtime-exposure.test.ts` (the wildcard-bind diagnosis tests)
fail on macOS before and after this change because they read `/proc`;
they are untouched and pass on Linux CI.
## Risks
- Low risk: both changes are test-only; no product code changed.
- The pinned-port test keeps a tiny time-of-check/time-of-use window
between its own probe and the runtime's bind. The window shrinks from
"one fixed port must stay free across the whole CI fleet" to
milliseconds on a pair just verified free.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app that people use to manage AI agents
for work.
> - Operators use the settings area to control a company and its
Paperclip instance.
> - The current navigation separates related settings and uses duplicate
instance pages.
> - Company exports also do independent reads in sequence and do extra
work for previews.

and faster.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This improves the company settings UI, company export preparation, and
workspace runtime command matching.
**Current behavior**
Company and instance settings use separate navigation and duplicate
pages. Export preparation reads many independent records in sequence.
Preview generation can also build an unused organization image. A
command with a forced loopback bind can fail to match its saved runtime
command.
**Proposed behavior**
Use one settings navigation and put general instance controls on the
company General page. Load independent export data with bounded
concurrency, skip unused preview image work, and load the export page
only when it is needed. Treat the loopback-bound form of a command as
the same runtime command.
**Reason and benefit**
Operators get one clear settings area. Large company exports need fewer
serialized reads. Export previews and initial UI loads do less work.
Hardened runtime services remain linked to their saved command
definitions.
**Breaking changes**
The obsolete instance General URL redirects to the unified settings
page. Access and Heartbeats remain available, and legacy bookmarks keep
their destinations. No API response shape or database schema changes.
## What Changed
- Unified company and instance settings navigation and removed duplicate
instance settings pages.
- Embedded general instance controls in the company General page and
kept access-sensitive navigation behavior.
- Preserved instance Access and Heartbeats controls in the unified
navigation and normalized old bookmarks to those destinations.
- Improved environment and access-state handling when workspace seed
requests overlap.
- Added bounded export reads, a lighter preview path, deferred export
preparation, and lazy export-page loading.
- Matched loopback-bound runtime commands to their saved command
definitions.
- Added focused shared, server, and UI regression tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run <18 changed test files>`: 18 files and 256 tests
passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed all four token gates.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed for all workspace projects.
- `pnpm build`: passed for all workspace projects.
- `pnpm test:run`: tests ran without a reported failure, but the runner
did not close after the server handoff tests. The process closed with
status 0 after an interrupt.
- Focused latest-head route tests: 2 files and 4 tests passed.
- GitHub latest-head checks: all completed without failure.
- Greptile: 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.
## Risks
- Medium risk: settings routes and navigation changed across several
operator roles.
- Medium risk: bounded export concurrency increases simultaneous
database reads. The limits stay below the normal pool size.
- Low risk: runtime command matching accepts only the known Tailscale
HTTPS loopback transformation.
- No migrations are included.

expose the exact deployed model ID or context-window size. Reasoning,
tool use, and local code execution were enabled.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents do that work in isolated git worktrees, and a managed
worktree runs its own Paperclip instance with a cloned database
> - That clone needs a seed source, and the source must come from
server-owned registration, never from state the workspace itself can
rewrite
> - The seed-source resolver requires the registered base project
workspace to hold its own `.paperclip/config.json`
> - A managed project workspace is a plain `git clone`, and no code
writes that file into it
> - Every isolated worktree provision, deferred seed, and workspace
repair therefore fails on a managed checkout
> - This pull request lets a named source supply the config when the
base checkout has none
> - The benefit is that managed worktrees provision again, and the seed
source stays server-owned

Agent runs that need an isolated worktree fail during provisioning. The
provision command exits with this error (paths redacted):
```
Execution workspace provision command "bash ./scripts/provision-worktree.sh" failed:
Registered base project workspace has no canonical Paperclip config:
<instance-home>/instances/default/projects/<company-id>/<project-id>/<repo>/.paperclip/config.json
```
`resolveRegisteredWorktreeSeedSource` sets `registeredConfigPath` to
`<baseCwd>/.paperclip/config.json` whenever the caller names a
registered base workspace. It then requires that file to exist.
`scripts/provision-worktree.sh` applies the same rule.
A managed project workspace never has that file.
`materializeManagedProjectWorkspace` creates it with `git clone` and a
rename, so the checkout holds repository content only. The control plane
keeps its config at `<home>/instances/<id>/config.json` instead.
The failure reaches three paths: worktree provisioning, deferred seeding
through `worktree ensure-seeded`, and workspace repair.
The behavior changed in #11671. That pull request replaced a fallback
chain with a single hard requirement. Fixture code in
`scripts/__tests__/provision-worktree-self-heal.test.mjs` writes a
config into the fake base workspace, so tests kept passing.
**Expected behavior**
A managed worktree provisions and seeds from the registered source. The
seed manifest still never selects that source.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Register the Paperclip repository as a project with a `repoUrl`, so
the server materializes a managed checkout.
2. Assign an issue to an agent whose workspace strategy is
`git_worktree`.
3. Watch the workspace operation log for the provision command.
4. The command exits non-zero with the error above.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced on `master` at 01ddc26a3.
**Deployment mode**
`local_trusted`, single instance.
**Database mode**
Embedded PostgreSQL.
**Operating system**
Linux, Node.js 22.
**Related pull requests**
- Refs #11671 — introduced the requirement this pull request relaxes.
- Refs #11733 — open work on seed-source preflight. It reads the same
base-workspace config path and skips when the file is absent. It does
not change source selection.
- Refs #11735 — open work on provisioning reliability. It edits the same
four files and will need a rebase after either lands.
## What Changed
- `resolveRegisteredWorktreeSeedSource` sets the registered config path
only when `<baseCwd>/.paperclip/config.json` exists. This makes the
existing `registeredConfigPath ?? explicitSource` branch reachable for a
plain checkout.
- A base workspace that does hold its own config stays authoritative. A
mismatched explicit source is still rejected.
- The resolver throws a named error when the base workspace has no
config and no source is named.
- `readInstanceId` accepts an instance-root config at
`<home>/instances/<id>/config.json`. That layout names its instance by
directory and has no adjacent `.env`. Validation reuses
`resolvePaperclipInstanceId`.
- `scripts/provision-worktree.sh` and
`scripts/provision-worktree-runtime.sh` name the control plane's
instance config as the source when the base workspace has none. The
canonical-path and symlink checks stay.
- The workspace repair route supplies the same fallback, and only when
the base workspace has no config of its own.
- `doc/DEVELOPING.md` records the two source layouts.
## Verification
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/provision-worktree-self-heal.test.mjs`
— 10 tests pass. The fixture no longer writes a config into the base
workspace, so it models a real managed checkout. One test now creates
that config mid-test, which covers both layouts.
- `npx vitest run src/worktree-seed-source.test.ts` in `packages/shared`
— 4 tests pass. Two are new: one resolves an instance-root source, and
one still fails closed when no source exists.
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts
src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/execution-workspace-runtime-control-conflict.test.ts
src/__tests__/workspace-operations-reconciliation.test.ts
src/__tests__/worktree-seed-server-spawn.test.ts` in `server` — all
pass. Run them one file at a time. They share one test database, and
concurrent runs fail teardown.
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/worktree.test.ts` in `cli` — 63 tests
pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — clean.
- Manual check on a live instance: the resolver now returns the instance
config as the source for a managed checkout, with the source instance
`default` and a distinct target instance.
## Risks
Low to moderate.
- The relaxed rule applies only when the base workspace holds no config.
A base workspace that holds one keeps full authority, so the trust model
from #11671 is unchanged. The seed manifest still never selects the
source.
- The instance-id fallback reads a directory name. It applies only to
the `<home>/instances/<id>/config.json` layout, and
`resolvePaperclipInstanceId` rejects an unsafe segment.
- #11735 edits the same four files. Whichever pull request lands second
needs a rebase.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` currently fails on this
checkout with duplicate `drizzle-orm` type instantiations. The failure
is present with and without this change, and the error count is
identical. It comes from an unrelated lockfile state, not from this pull
request.
## Model Used
Claude Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5`), by Anthropic, running in Claude Code.
Extended thinking was on. The model used file, search, and shell tools
to diagnose the failure on a live instance and to run the test suites.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server emits OpenTelemetry spans so operators can trace agent
work
> - Each span needs a service version that identifies the code that
produced it
> - The current service version comes from a static environment value
and can become stale after a rebuild
> - This pull request records the built commit and resolves the service
version from the build stamp, runtime Git, the environment, or an
unknown fallback
> - The benefit is trace data that identifies the correct built commit
during development and deployment
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The server used a static `OTEL_SERVICE_VERSION` value for every
OpenTelemetry span. Rebuilds could produce traces with an old commit
value.
**Expected behavior**
The server should report the built commit when a build stamp exists. It
should use runtime Git, the environment value, or `unknown` as fallback.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Set `OTEL_SERVICE_VERSION` to an old commit value.
2. Build the server at a different commit.
3. Start the server and inspect the OpenTelemetry service version.
4. Confirm that the built commit takes precedence over the old
environment value.
## What Changed
- Add a build script that writes the short Git commit to
`dist/build-info.json`.
- Resolve `service.version` from the build stamp, runtime Git, the
environment, or `unknown`.
- Log the resolved service version once during server startup.
- Add tests for the resolution order and safe behavior without Git.
- Document the resolution order in `doc/observability.md`.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server build`
- `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/service-version.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- Confirm that the build stamp contains the short commit.
- Confirm that the stamp wins over the environment value.
- Confirm that a build without Git exits successfully without a stamp.
## Risks
The server now prefers the built commit over `OTEL_SERVICE_VERSION`. A
build without Git uses the existing environment value or `unknown`. The
change needs no schema migration and has a single-commit rollback path.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution. The runtime does not
expose the context window size or reasoning mode.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip manages work for AI agents.
> - The workspace runtime starts isolated services for concurrent
workspaces.
> - A runtime test assumed that one concurrent lane always received the
base port.
> - The allocator guarantees distinct ports, but scheduling decides
which lane receives the base port.
> - This pull request changes the test to assert allocator guarantees
without lane-order assumptions.
> - The benefit is a stable test that still checks the complete bounded
port range.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The concurrent sibling workspace runtime test failed intermittently
because it assumed array index 0 received the base port.
**Expected behavior**
The test must accept either lane as the base-port owner while it checks
the allocator invariants.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start two isolated workspace runtimes with `Promise.all`.
2. Force the second lane to start first.
3. Run the old assertions.
4. Observe that the test expects the wrong lane to receive the base
port.
**Paperclip version or commit**
This change targets the current `master` branch.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source test suite.
**Installation method**
Built from source with pnpm.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
## What Changed
- Replace lane-order assertions with order-independent port invariants.
- Assert distinct ports, the base lower port, and the bounded upper
port.
- Keep concurrent startup, service URL checks, and persisted-row checks.
## Verification
- The target test passed 12 consecutive runs.
- The full test file passed 128 of 128 tests.
- Both forced lane orderings passed with the new invariants.
- TypeScript reported no errors in the changed file.
- CI will run after this pull request opens.
## Risks
Low risk. This pull request changes one test file and does not change
runtime code.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution enabled. The model
reviewed and prepared the pull request metadata.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is an open source app that manages AI agents for work
> - Paperclip runs agents in local and remote sandbox environments
> - A sandbox needs a bounded channel for commands and asynchronous
input
> - Daytona needs a real pseudo-terminal transport for this channel
> - The sandbox gateway also needs a mode that handles channel loss
safely
> - This pull request adds the Daytona transport and gateway mode behind
a default-off kill switch
> - The benefit is a tested foundation for later transport selection
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (multiple of the above): sandbox providers, plugin SDK,
server settings, and shared types.
**Problem or motivation**
The merged sandbox protocol has no runtime transport for Daytona. The
generated sandbox gateway also has no duplex mode. A later
transport-selection change needs both parts and a safe per-run gate.
**Proposed solution**
Add a Daytona `duplexCommandStream` transport over a raw
pseudo-terminal. Add a generated gateway mode named `duplex_v1`. Add the
`enableSandboxDuplexBridge` setting with a default value of `false`.
Keep transport selection disabled until a later pull request.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep the protocol unused until the transport-selection change. This
would delay provider tests and leave the gateway path without direct
coverage.
**Roadmap alignment**
This change supports the completed Roadmap item for cloud and sandbox
agents. It extends the merged sandbox channel foundation in pull request
#11738.
**Additional context**
The Daytona provider remains an untrusted boundary. Deployments must use
least-privilege provider credentials and provider-side quota controls.
Operators must name an owner for duplex telemetry retention before
rollout.
## What Changed
- Add the Daytona `duplexCommandStream` capability over a raw
pseudo-terminal.
- Add a launch wrapper that disables echo and newline translation for
NDJSON frames.
- Close channels on lease release, destroy, resume of a stopped worker,
and worker shutdown.
- Declare the capability in the Daytona manifest and set
`PLUGIN_VERSION` to `0.1.5`.
- Add the worker-to-host notification sink at `ctx.duplexChannel.data`
and `ctx.duplexChannel.exit`.
- Add the generated sandbox gateway mode
`PAPERCLIP_API_BRIDGE_MODE=duplex_v1`.
- Add channel-loss results of `409 outcome_indeterminate` and `503
bridge_unavailable`.
- Add the per-run setting `enableSandboxDuplexBridge`, with a default
value of `false`.
- Add unit tests, generated-source codec tests, lifecycle tests, and a
credential-gated live Daytona test.
## Verification
- Daytona suite: 185 tests pass.
- Adapter utilities: 754 tests pass and 4 tests skip.
- Plugin SDK: 62 tests pass.
- Shared package: 28 tests pass.
- Server duplex tests pass.
- Shared, plugin SDK, server, and Daytona TypeScript checks pass.
- The live Daytona test passes 3 cases when `DAYTONA_API_KEY` is set.
- The live Daytona test skips 3 cases without `DAYTONA_API_KEY`.
- CI must run the full workspace typecheck, test, and build gates after
PR creation.
## Risks
- The Daytona control plane and pseudo-terminal remain untrusted
boundaries.
- The duplex gateway changes behavior only when the mode and per-run
setting enable it.
- A lost channel fails requests without replay, so callers must handle
indeterminate outcomes.
- The transport-selection change must require both `duplexCommandStream
=== true` and `enableSandboxDuplexBridge === true`.
- The provider credential and quota limits need operator control before
rollout.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip lets operators prepare and use custom images for sandbox
environments
> - The custom-image overview detected drift but did not show which boot
source changed
> - Operators need the changed field and values to understand why a
template no longer matches
> - This pull request adds safe drift attribution to the overview API
and the out-of-sync banner
> - The benefit is faster diagnosis without exposing secrets or internal
snapshot data
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (server and UI).
**Problem or motivation**
The custom-image overview reported drift without identifying the changed
boot source. Operators had to inspect other data to find the cause.
**Proposed solution**
Return a classified drift summary with changed paths and their prior and
current values. Show the boot-source field in the UI banner. Keep legacy
templates and unclassified drift on the generic message.
**Alternatives considered**
The change does not expose the full snapshot or fingerprint. This keeps
the overview contract small and avoids secret disclosure.
**Roadmap alignment**
The change supports the existing custom-image environment workflow and
does not duplicate a roadmap item.
## What Changed
- Add `activeTemplateDrift` to the custom-image overview response.
- Classify drift as `boot_source_drift`, `knob_only`, or `unclassified`.
- Return drifted paths with safe `from` and `to` values.
- Show the changed boot-source field and values in the out-of-sync
banner.
- Keep legacy templates fail-closed and exclude secrets, fingerprints,
and raw snapshots.
- Add server and UI tests for the new behavior.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-custom-images-service.test.ts` passes
with 27 tests.
- `npx vitest run ui/src/pages/CompanyEnvironments.test.tsx` passes with
27 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec tsc --noEmit` passes.
- Review the overview response and banner cases for boot-source,
knob-only, and legacy drift.
## Risks
The overview response gains one optional field. Legacy templates remain
compatible because they return `unclassified` and keep the generic
banner. The service excludes secret values, fingerprints, and raw
snapshots.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Managed workspace services must continue after a control-plane
restart
> - A service command can use shell control operators before it starts
the final process
> - The final process command line then differs from the stored shell
expression
> - Paperclip rejected that valid process even when its listener,
process group, and workspace matched
> - This pull request uses the stronger ownership checks for shell
expressions
> - The benefit is that Paperclip can adopt a valid service after a
restart
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11740
**What happened?**
A managed service could use a command such as `env | sort > file; exec
pnpm dev`. After a control-plane restart, the surviving process command
line contained only the final program. Paperclip compared it with the
complete shell expression and rejected the service.
**Expected behavior**
Paperclip must adopt the surviving service when the listener, process
group, and workspace directory prove ownership.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Configure a managed workspace service with a shell pipeline or
command sequence.
2. Start the service.
3. Restart the control plane while the service stays alive.
4. Observe that Paperclip starts a replacement instead of adopting the
live service.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`bd059a073d`
**Deployment mode**
Local dev with managed workspace services.
## What Changed
- Detect shell control syntax outside quoted strings.
- Skip the weak command-line comparison for these shell expressions.
- Require the live port owner to remain in the recorded process group.
- Keep the existing workspace directory check.
- Add unit and restart-adoption regression tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/local-service-supervisor.test.ts
src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts -t 'does not compare shell
expressions|re-adopts a live service whose shell command differs'
--reporter=verbose` — 2 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed.
## Risks
- Low risk. The relaxed command comparison applies only to shell
expressions.
- Listener ownership, process-group ownership, and workspace directory
checks still fail closed.
- This change does not change the database schema, lockfile, workflow
files, or user interface.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Scheduled routines track each dispatch in `routine_runs` and link it
to an execution issue
> - Moving an execution issue to `blocked` or `cancelled` correctly
records a failed run state for operator visibility
> - When that issue later resumes or completes, the run can retain the
earlier failure reason and completion timestamp
> - That stale state makes an active or successfully completed routine
appear failed
> - This pull request reconciles the run back to a live state on resume
and preserves cleared failure details as completion context
> - The benefit is that routine run status consistently reflects the
current execution issue lifecycle without losing useful recovery history
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #9201
### What happened?
A routine execution issue that temporarily moved to `blocked` or
`cancelled` caused its linked routine run to become `failed`. If the
issue later returned to an active status or reached `done`, the routine
run could keep the stale failure reason and terminal timestamp.
### Expected behavior
Active execution issues should have an `issue_created` run with no
failure or completion timestamp. Completed execution issues should have
a `completed` run with no active failure reason, while retaining any
earlier transient failure in structured trigger context for diagnosis.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Create a routine run linked to a routine execution issue.
2. Move the issue to `blocked` and synchronize the run state.
3. Move the issue back to `in_progress` or forward to `done` and
synchronize again.
4. Observe that the run previously retained stale failed-state fields.
### Environment
- Reproduced on `master` at `da549123cc`.
- Core server behavior; not adapter-specific.
- Covered with the embedded PostgreSQL routines service test harness.
## What Changed
- Load the linked routine run while synchronizing execution issue
status.
- Restore transiently failed runs to `issue_created` when their
execution issue resumes active work.
- Clear stale failure state when an execution issue completes and retain
the earlier failure under `triggerPayload.transientFailure`.
- Add regression coverage for both resumed and completed execution
issues.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/routines-service.test.ts` — 57 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
## Risks
- Low risk: the change is limited to routine execution issue/run
reconciliation.
- A completed run now stores a prior failed-state reason as structured
transient context instead of leaving `failureReason` populated.
- No schema, migration, API contract, or UI behavior changes are
included.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip provides a control plane for companies that run AI agents.
> - Sandboxed agents need a safe execution path for persistent command
streams.
> - The existing callback transport does not provide a bounded, generic
duplex route.
> - The host must control capability access, route identity, protocol
limits, and close behavior.
> - This pull request adds an opt-in duplex command-stream foundation
across the sandbox layers.
> - The feature stays inert because no current provider declares the
capability.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (multiple of the above)
**Problem or motivation**
Sandbox command execution needs a persistent host-to-sandbox stream. The
current callback bridge uses a file transport and does not provide this
generic route.
**Proposed solution**
Add a fail-closed provider capability, generic worker protocol messages,
a host-owned bounded route, cross-layer service mediation, and a
versioned newline-delimited frame codec.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep the file transport and add feature-specific commands. This does not
provide one reusable duplex contract or host-owned route bounds.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports the completed Cloud / Sandbox agents roadmap area and
the safe autonomy goal in the product definition.
**Additional context**
The change passed a two-stage security review. The final code review
verdict was approve after fixes for active-stream bounds and
service-layer capability mediation.
## What Changed
- Add the opt-in `duplexCommandStream` provider capability with
fail-closed narrowing.
- Add duplex open, write, stop, and close requests and data and exit
notifications to the plugin worker protocol.
- Add a host-owned route with bounds for chunk size, cumulative bytes,
lifetime, protocol errors, pending requests, and pre-bind buffering.
- Add close acknowledgement handling with worker retirement when the
close remains unconfirmed.
- Wire `openDuplexChannel` through the execution target, runtime
service, and plugin worker.
- Add a versioned frame codec with shared wire-compatibility vectors and
split UTF-8 handling.
## Verification
- `server/src/__tests__/plugin-worker-manager-duplex.test.ts` passes 18
tests.
- `server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target-duplex.test.ts`
passes 11 tests.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/duplex-frame-codec.test.ts` passes 38
tests.
- `server/src/__tests__/sandbox-capability-contract.test.ts` passes 15
tests.
- Setup-token pseudo-terminal regression tests pass 47 tests.
- Server TypeScript check passes.
- Continuous integration will run the full required test, typecheck,
build, and policy checks.
## Risks
- Providers that opt into the capability must implement the complete
worker protocol.
- Route limit defaults can close a stream when a workload exceeds the
configured bounds.
- The capability remains disabled for current providers, so current
production behavior does not change.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 (`gpt-5`), with tool use and code execution. The model
reviewed and prepared this pull request from the supplied implementation
and verification record.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Execution workspaces need isolated databases, ports, and runtime
services
> - Concurrent workspaces could reuse ports or lose service ownership
after a restart
> - A markerless worktree also needed seed recovery, but normal
markerless instances still needed to boot
> - This pull request makes seed, port, and service ownership state
explicit and recoverable
> - It also checks live process and listener identity before it reclaims
shared resources
> - The benefit is reliable workspace startup, restart, adoption, and
concurrent provisioning
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Managed workspaces could lose runtime service ownership after a
control-plane restart. Concurrent worktrees could also reuse a port when
their parent paths differed. A seed recovery change made every
markerless instance resolve a worktree seed source, so normal instances
without a source could not start.
**Expected behavior**
Paperclip must preserve healthy managed services across restarts. It
must reserve unique ports across worktree parents. It must provision a
registered markerless worktree, but it must skip seed work for a normal
markerless instance.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start two managed worktrees under different parent paths at the same
time.
2. Restart the control plane while a managed service stays alive.
3. Start Paperclip with a config that has no seed markers and no
registered worktree source.
4. Observe duplicate port selection, lost service adoption, or a
seed-source startup error.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Current `master` plus the workspace runtime reliability changes in this
pull request.
**Deployment mode**
Local development with managed execution workspaces and embedded
Postgres.
## What Changed
- Added a shared port registry with lease heartbeats, process identity
checks, and live listener probes.
- Reserved worktree ports across custom parent paths and repaired
duplicate legacy assignments.
- Preserved and adopted healthy managed services across control-plane
restarts.
- Reconciled guest bind modes and verified listener ownership before
termination or reuse.
- Provisioned registered markerless worktree databases and kept normal
markerless instance startup as a no-op.
- Added CLI, shared, server, and shell regression tests for seed, port,
listener, restart, and adoption behavior.
- Updated the worktree development documentation.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run cli/src/__tests__/worktree.test.ts
--reporter=verbose` — 63 tests passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/shared/src/worktree-port-registry.test.ts --reporter=verbose` —
5 tests passed.
- Focused runtime Vitest set — 199 tests passed across 37 suites.
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/provision-worktree-self-heal.test.mjs`
— 10 tests passed.
- `git diff --check` passed.
## Risks
- Port reservation now depends on lease and process identity data. The
fallback listener probe prevents early reclamation when process metadata
is incomplete.
- Runtime adoption is stricter about bind and owner identity. The tests
cover healthy adoption, stale records, PID reuse, and unrelated
listeners.
- Markerless seed detection now separates registered worktrees from
normal instances. The tests cover both paths.
- There are no database schema migrations.
> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex with the `gpt-5` model family. The serving snapshot and
context-window size are not exposed. The agent used reasoning,
repository tools, code execution, and test execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip uses issue dependencies to pause work until blockers reach
a ready state.
> - A blocked issue with several blockers can miss its wake when the
final blocker completes.
> - The wake deduplication used a historical per-edge key, so an old
completed wake hid the current ready state.
> - This pull request adds a level-triggered key for the sorted set of
blocker issue ids and uses one helper for all wake paths.
> - The benefit is that the final blocker wake can repair a missed wake,
while repeated reconciliation stays bounded.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #8009, #7853, and #6719. These public pull requests cover related
dependency-wake and deduplication behavior. This pull request fixes a
separate multi-blocker state-key gap.
**What happened?**
A blocked issue with multiple blockers received no
`issue_blockers_resolved` wake when the final blocker completed. An
earlier completed per-edge wake suppressed the wake for the current
all-ready state.
**Expected behavior**
The final blocker completion must emit one wake for the current ready
state. A later reconciliation pass must not emit a second wake for the
same state.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a blocked issue with at least two blocker issues.
2. Complete one blocker and record its completed per-edge wake.
3. Complete the final blocker.
4. Run the route-time or reconciliation wake path.
5. Confirm that one level-triggered wake exists for the sorted blocker
set.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`eed1e5cad91a37547e1b521232da04b9ddb316f0`
**Deployment mode**
Local dev from source.
## What Changed
- Add a SHA-256 level-triggered idempotency key from the sorted blocker
issue ids.
- Share one deduplication helper across route-time, finalize-time, and
periodic wake paths.
- Treat state-key rows with idempotent statuses as duplicates.
- Treat legacy per-edge rows as duplicates only while they remain in
flight.
- Record skipped route-time wakes without suppressing later
finalize-time or periodic wakes.
- Add regression coverage for a completed earlier-blocker wake and a
second reconciliation pass.
## Verification
- Run `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-dependency-wakeups-routes.test.ts`.
- Run `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation.test.ts`.
- Run `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-dependency-scheduling.test.ts`.
- Run `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/issue-rewake-throttle.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/recovery-stale-issue-lock-sweep.test.ts`.
- Run `tsc --noEmit` on the touched files.
## Risks
The change alters wake deduplication for dependency reconciliation. The
new key uses the full sorted blocker set, so a change in that set
permits a new wake. The regression tests cover the missed-final-blocker
case and repeated reconciliation.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool-use model with code execution and repository
review support.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip runs AI agents through local and remote execution
adapters.
> - Sandbox providers move workspace and asset files before and after
agent runs.
> - Serial file transfers delay startup and teardown when several
operations do not depend on each other.
> - Providers need an opt-in contract so existing providers keep their
serial behavior.
> - This pull request adds a bounded scheduler and routes inbound and
outbound sync operations through it.
> - The benefit is shorter sandbox setup and teardown with stable
errors, clear telemetry, and a safe opt-in path.

Sandbox sync processes the workspace, assets, and referenced projects in
series. This adds avoidable wait time to agent startup and teardown.
**Proposed solution**
Add a fail-closed provider capability named concurrentSyncOperations.
Use a bounded scheduler with a limit of four operations. Preserve
operation order for error reporting. Keep non-opted-in providers on the
serial path.
**Alternatives considered**
Increase the serial transfer speed or add provider-specific schedulers.
Those options do not provide one shared contract or stable behavior
across providers.
**Roadmap alignment**
ROADMAP.md lists cloud and sandbox agents as a product area. This change
improves sandbox execution without changing the control-plane contract.
**Additional context**
The Daytona provider opts in. Board trials on this commit showed overlap
for inbound sync and outbound restore, with no referenced-project
staging failures.
## What Changed
- Add the concurrentSyncOperations sandbox capability and fail-closed
parsing.
- Add a bounded settle-all scheduler with stable input-order errors.
- Parallelize inbound workspace, asset, and referenced-project sync
operations when the provider opts in.
- Parallelize outbound workspace and asset restore operations when the
provider opts in.
- Surface referenced-project failure text in run logs and server
telemetry.
- Add Daytona sync spans and the capability declaration.
- Preserve in-flight upload scratch tarballs during workspace wipe.
- Add unit and regression tests for the scheduler, coordinators,
provider behavior, telemetry, and wipe race.
## Verification
- Run the adapter-utils and server type checks.
- Run the targeted adapter-utils, server, and Daytona test suites.
- Run the full automated sweep.
- Review six cold Daytona trials, with three serial and three parallel
runs.
- Confirm that parallel trials show inbound overlap and outbound restore
overlap.
- Confirm that providers without the capability keep serial behavior.
## Risks
- Providers must opt in only when their file operations can run safely
at the same time.
- A provider that declares the capability incorrectly can expose
transfer races.
- The scheduler keeps a limit of four to bound resource use.
- Providers without the capability keep the prior serial behavior.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 in the Codex runtime. The model used tool calls, code
inspection, and GitHub workflow support. The model did not author the
implementation commits.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandbox agents need a safe login path for each supported adapter
> - Codex device login and Claude setup-token login used separate
session stores and route logic
> - Separate stores made session lookup, expiry, and login capability
checks harder to keep consistent
> - This pull request unifies both flows on one session table and one
capability contract
> - The benefit is one company-scoped login model with public session
identifiers and shared lifecycle rules
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (multiple of the above)
**Problem or motivation**
Codex and Claude sandbox login used separate session stores and
different route paths. This split increased the risk of inconsistent
company scoping, session lookup, and cleanup.
**Proposed solution**
Use `adapter_auth_sessions` for both login flows. Use public session
identifiers for API access. Select login behavior from projected adapter
capability data. Share the route spine, lease arguments, runner
lifecycle, and reaper rules.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep two session tables and add matching fixes to both routes. This
keeps duplicate logic and does not provide one capability contract, so
this pull request uses shared infrastructure.
**Roadmap alignment**
This change supports the shipped Cloud / Sandbox agents milestone in
`ROADMAP.md`.
## What Changed
- Unify Codex device login and Claude setup-token login on
`adapter_auth_sessions`.
- Return and look up sessions with company-scoped public session
identifiers.
- Enforce one active session for each company, owner, and adapter.
- Share the login route spine, sandbox lease arguments, runner
lifecycle, and missing-auth check.
- Add a standalone setup-token reaper with adapter-specific row
selection.
- Add optional login capability projection for adapters and drive route
and UI selection from that data.
- Rename the provider flag to `supportsLoginPty` and validate its
deprecated alias.
- Remove the old Claude setup-token session table and add the required
migrations.
## Verification
- Server typecheck passed with `tsc`.
- Database typecheck passed.
- UI typecheck passed with `tsc -b`.
- Codex login service and route suites passed.
- Setup-token session, route, and reaper suites passed.
- Adapter session schema, plugin validator, capability projection, UI
render, and Daytona suites passed.
- GitHub Actions must confirm the complete CI gate after pull request
creation.
## Risks
- The migrations remove short-lived in-flight login rows during
deployment. A login that spans the migration can continue until its
provider lease expires.
- The Codex credential store remains company-scoped. A cross-owner
credential race remains a documented, board-accepted risk.
- API clients that use internal session row identifiers no longer work.
The API accepts only public session identifiers.
## Model Used
Codex, GPT-5, exact runtime model ID not exposed in this handoff, large
context window, reasoning, and repository tool use. The implementing
engineer produced the code with AI assistance.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip manages agent work in isolated execution workspaces.
> - Workspace operations record operation metadata and command-result
metadata separately.
> - Runtime provisioning records its provision kind in the operation
metadata.
> - One merged regression test checked that value in the command-result
metadata.
> - The production behavior was correct, but the test failed.
> - This pull request checks the provision kind in the operation
metadata.
> - The benefit is that the regression test now matches the recorder
contract.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related pull request: #11706
**What happened?**
The runtime provisioning regression test expected `provisionKind` in
`result.metadata`. The recorder stores this value in the operation's
top-level `metadata`. The command-result metadata is `null` for this
case.
**Expected behavior**
The test must check `metadata.provisionKind`. It must continue to check
`result.status`.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Check out commit `e1df4c6068fea684a1e9714ebd64bce95f3db19a`.
2. Run the focused runtime provisioning test.
3. Observe that the assertion checks the wrong metadata object.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`e1df4c6068fea684a1e9714ebd64bce95f3db19a`
**Deployment mode**
Local development.
## What Changed
- Move the `provisionKind` assertion from `result.metadata` to the
operation's top-level `metadata`.
- Keep the `result.status` assertion unchanged.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts -t "keeps an explicit command
matching the built-in seed command as runtime provisioning"`
- Result: 1 test passed and 125 tests skipped.
## Risks
- Low risk. This pull request changes one test assertion and does not
change production code.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip manages agent work in isolated execution workspaces.
> - A workspace depends on a valid database seed before it can run.
> - Deferred seed failures were hidden behind a successful provision
status.
> - The seed restore also had two possible owners for the embedded
PostgreSQL process.
> - That allowed the target database to stop while the restore was still
running.
> - This pull request makes seed failures visible and gives the seed
process sole lifecycle ownership.
> - The benefit is that workspace provisioning reports the real result
and does not stop its own target database.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related: #11684
**What happened?**
Initial worktree provisioning could report success before its deferred
database seed completed. The seed restore could also reuse a target
embedded PostgreSQL process with another shutdown owner. This could stop
the target database during the restore.
**Expected behavior**
Workspace status must show a failed deferred seed as a failure. The seed
restore must own the target embedded PostgreSQL process until restore,
migration, and validation finish.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Provision a worktree with deferred database seeding.
2. Make the seed manifest end in a failed state while the command exits
with code 0.
3. Observe that the provision status remains successful on `master`.
4. Start a seed restore against an already-running target embedded
PostgreSQL process.
5. Observe that another lifecycle owner can stop the target during
restore.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`51a843e135`
**Deployment mode**
Local dev with execution workspaces and embedded PostgreSQL.
## What Changed
- Add a first-class `workspace_seed` operation for deferred database
seeds.
- Require terminal, verified seed evidence before the seed operation
succeeds.
- Surface the seed phase and failure metadata in workspace status and UI
state.
- Give the seed process exclusive lifecycle ownership of the target
embedded PostgreSQL process.
- Suppress imported embedded-Postgres exit hooks without removing
existing host listeners.
- Record a credential-safe shutdown diagnostic in failed seed manifests.
## Verification
- The original deferred-seed commit passed 4 server tests, 24
workspace-status UI tests, shared/server/UI typechecks, and the UI token
gate.
- The original PostgreSQL-lifecycle commit passed 3 lifecycle tests, 3
ownership/diagnostic tests, 1 real embedded-Postgres seed integration,
and the affected package typechecks.
- No local tests were rerun after the clean cherry-pick because the
operator requested the shortest landing path.
- Review the automatic PR checks for the clean `origin/master` replay.
## Risks
- A live target database now causes an early error instead of being
reused. The error includes recovery guidance.
- Workspace consumers must handle the new `workspace_seed` operation
type. Shared types and UI state handling are updated in this pull
request.

suffix or context-window value.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Managed worktree services run isolated Paperclip instances with
cloned databases.
> - A reachable service was reported as ready even when its database,
runtime identity, or login path was not usable.
> - The first candidate added verified database seeding and managed
repair in #11665.
> - This pull request consolidates that candidate with signed login
handoff and a complete readiness contract.
> - Post-QA fixes close five defects in repair identity, repair
responses, UI retry, seed journal handling, and seed-source trust.
> - The benefit is a workspace that either opens safely or reports one
accurate recovery action.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this work, so the problem is described
here.
**What happened**
Managed workspace URLs could return HTTP 200 and report ready while
login failed. QA also found cases where repair used the wrong instance
identity, returned a generic error, left the UI stuck, rejected a safe
journal lag, or trusted a mutable workspace manifest.
**Expected behavior**
Opening a ready workspace signs the board user in to the correct
isolated instance. Provisioning and repair use a registered source and
report a structured recovery state.
**Actual behavior**
Entry depended on a password copied into the clone. Several failure
paths could publish stale readiness, hide the repair precondition, or
trust state that the workspace could modify.
**Additional context**
This pull request includes the commits first published in #11665. That
pull request keeps the original base head for review history. This
consolidated pull request is the merge candidate. Related open readiness
work includes #11575 and #11621.
## What Changed
- Adds a short-lived, signed, single-use login ticket. It binds the
user, workspace, instance, and runtime origin.
- Exchanges the ticket through Better Auth. It creates the session and
cookie through the supported adapter path.
- Adds protected workspace readiness fields for the database, clone
data, login handoff, seed phase, and runtime identity.
- Fails readiness closed when the guest has no company or
execution-workspace binding.
- Binds ticket issuance to the exact cloned user and active company
membership selected for the handoff.
- Verifies every current active board identity through the exact-user
handoff before publication or reuse.
- Gates managed runtime publication on the readiness contract and the
recorded worktree instance identity.
- Refreshes runtime work products from the live runtime row after a port
change.
- Adds one workspace access card with ready, degraded, repairing, and
failed states.
- Uses the runtime response identity for repair. It returns structured
repair precondition errors.
- Lets a valid source journal lag converge during provisioning.
- Binds seed and repair manifests to a source registered outside the
agent-writable worktree.
- Clears recovered UI errors so a successful retry can open the
workspace.
- Makes runtime tests register canonical sources and avoid ports owned
by live host listeners.
- Keeps Vitest on source suites when compiled `dist` trees exist.
- Isolates CLI and adapter tests from ambient AWS and runtime API
environment variables.
- Preserves a 404 response for cross-company workspace ID lookups before
runtime authorization.
- Makes concurrent single-flight coverage independent of
path-canonicalization scheduling order.
## Verification
The following checks passed on the integrated head:
```sh
pnpm -r typecheck
pnpm build
pnpm check:token-gates
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations
```
- The server source lane passed 420 files and 4,953 tests. Five tests
were skipped.
- The CLI lane passed 57 files and 385 tests.
- The database lane passed 26 files and 97 tests.
- The shared package passed 58 files and 506 tests.
- The adapter utility lane passed 640 tests. Four tests were skipped.
- The Claude adapter passed 220 tests. One test was skipped.
- The Codex adapter passed 323 tests.
- The OpenClaw adapter passed 13 tests.
- The OpenCode adapter passed 42 tests.
- The plugin SDK passed 45 tests.
- The workspace runtime suite passed 124 tests.
- The caller-scoped readiness and handoff suite passed 52 tests.
- The workspace provisioning shell suite passed 7 tests.
- The runtime exposure suite passed 17 tests while live host mappings
occupied fixed test ports.
- `git diff --check` passed and the worktree is clean.
The serialized route lane will run in GitHub CI with its normal shards.
No deployment or active-workspace migration was performed.
## Risks
- This is a medium-risk authentication and runtime-readiness change.
- The login ticket uses exact origin, workspace, instance, and user
binding. It has a short expiry and a one-time nonce.
- Runtime publication is stricter. A real readiness, identity, per-user
handoff, or control-plane database disagreement now blocks publication.
- This pull request supersedes #11665 as the merge candidate. Close
#11665 after this pull request merges.
- No new database migration is included. The lockfile and workflow files
are unchanged.
- Deployment and active-workspace migration are intentionally outside
this pull request.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Managed workspaces run local web services and embedded PostgreSQL
databases
> - A listening process could return an unhealthy response and still be
reused
> - Embedded PostgreSQL failures had no bounded restart owner
> - Cleanup inferred ownership from a branch slug instead of exact
persisted instance data
> - This pull request validates runtime health, supervises database
recovery, and uses exact cleanup ownership
> - The benefit is reliable replacement of degraded services without
deleting active instances
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Workspace reconciliation could reuse a degraded Paperclip process after
any successful HTTP response. Embedded PostgreSQL could stop without
bounded recovery. Cleanup could infer database ownership from a branch
slug and select the wrong instance.
**Expected behavior**
Paperclip must require a semantic healthy response from the assigned
loopback listener. It must replace degraded processes. It must supervise
embedded PostgreSQL with bounded restarts. Cleanup must use exact
persisted worktree and instance-root ownership.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a managed workspace runtime.
2. Make its health endpoint return HTTP 200 with an unhealthy status, or
stop its embedded PostgreSQL process.
3. Reconcile the workspace or run instance cleanup.
4. Observe that the old implementation can reuse the degraded runtime or
infer ownership from its branch slug.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Current `master` before this pull request.
**Deployment mode**
Local dev with managed workspace services.
## What Changed
- Require `{ "status": "ok" }` from the assigned loopback health
endpoint before runtime reuse or adoption.
- Refresh persisted runtime health and replace degraded managed
processes.
- Add bounded embedded PostgreSQL restart supervision with coordinated
shutdown and hot-restart support.
- Stop the unhealthy web process when PostgreSQL recovery is exhausted
so reconciliation can replace it.
- Require exact persisted instance-root ownership before cleanup can
reclaim an embedded database.
- Add focused regression tests for degraded HTTP responses, ownership
mismatches, bounded recovery, active instance preservation, and
confirmed orphan reclamation.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server test --
src/embedded-postgres-supervisor.test.ts
src/services/workspace-instance-cleanup.test.ts
src/services/workspace-runtime.test.ts
src/services/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `git diff --check`
- The full local stable test runner also found host-owned listeners on
ports 42000 and 52000. Those listeners conflict with the exposure test
fixture. The focused changed suites pass, and CI runs on a clean host.
## Risks
- A custom process that returns HTTP 2xx without the Paperclip health
contract is now degraded by design.
- Restart exhaustion terminates the managed web process. The runtime
reconciler then starts a clean process.
- Cleanup now fails closed when persisted ownership is missing. This can
retain an ambiguous orphan for manual review.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip environments can use captured custom images for agent runs
> - A configuration fingerprint change can detach a valid custom-image
template
> - Operators need a safe way to confirm that the image still matches
the boot source
> - This pull request adds a guarded relink action with drift
classification and audit logging
> - The benefit is a deliberate relink without a new sandbox boot or
provider snapshot
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting environment, server, and UI behavior.
**Problem or motivation**
A custom-image template detaches when the environment configuration
fingerprint changes. The runtime then uses the base image, even when the
boot source did not change. The only prior remedy required a full
re-capture.
**Proposed solution**
Add an operator-triggered relink action. Classify configuration drift
from a server-owned boot-relevant snapshot. Relink knob-only drift
without confirmation. Require explicit confirmation for boot-source or
unclassified drift. Guard the route for instance administrators and
record a safe activity event.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep requiring a full re-capture. This adds a sandbox boot and provider
snapshot for cases where the image remains correct.
**Roadmap alignment**
The roadmap has no matching custom-image relink item. This change
addresses an environment operation gap.
**Additional context**
The relink response exposes raw drift values only in the transient 409
response to the instance administrator. The service never persists or
logs fingerprints or configuration values. Reserved identity-path
segments fail closed.
## What Changed
- Add `relinkActiveTemplate` with drift classification and conditional
fingerprint update.
- Persist a server-owned boot-relevant configuration snapshot during
capture.
- Add the guarded relink route with strict request validation and
activity logging.
- Add the relink action and confirmation flow to the environment page.
- Add service, route, UI, and OpenAPI coverage.
## Verification
- Run the focused service suite: `pnpm vitest run
server/src/services/environment-custom-images-service.test.ts`.
- Run the focused route suite: `pnpm vitest run
server/src/routes/environment-custom-image-routes.test.ts`.
- Run the focused UI suite: `pnpm vitest run
ui/src/pages/CompanyEnvironments.test.tsx`.
- Run server and UI TypeScript checks.
- Confirm the OpenAPI snapshot matches the new route.
- Confirm all required GitHub checks pass on commit
`e46fdcfe94a719be854adf8849d30714e5b70b93`.
- Confirm Greptile reports 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.
## Risks
The relink action can keep an image after configuration drift. The
service requires explicit confirmation for boot-source or unclassified
drift. Reserved path segments produce a safe unresolved marker and never
enter stored values.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 Codex. The model used repository inspection, GitHub
operations, and PR preparation with tool use and code execution. The
runtime did not expose a context-window value or a separate
reasoning-mode value.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is an open source app that manages AI agents for work.
> - The server manages execution workspaces and their worktrees.
> - The terminal workspace reaper removes a workspace when its issue
tree reaches a terminal state.
> - Immediate removal prevents a person from reopening recently
completed work.
> - This pull request adds a configurable cooldown before the reaper
archives the workspace.
> - The cooldown keeps recent work available and keeps immediate cleanup
available with value `0`.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs: #7790
**Problem**
The reaper archives an execution workspace and deletes its worktree as
soon as the issue tree becomes terminal. A person cannot reopen recent
work without extra effort.
**Expected behavior**
The reaper should keep a recently completed workspace during a
configurable cooldown window. It should archive older work and support
immediate cleanup when the value is `0`.
**Proposed solution**
Read the cooldown from `PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACE_REAPER_COOLDOWN_DAYS`. Use a
seven-day default. Use the latest terminal timestamp in the source issue
tree as the cooldown anchor.
## What Changed
- Add `PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACE_REAPER_COOLDOWN_DAYS` with a seven-day
default.
- Treat `0` as no cooldown and use the default for negative or
non-numeric values.
- Use the latest `completedAt` or `cancelledAt` value in the source
issue tree.
- Use `updatedAt` when a terminal timestamp is null.
- Skip candidates inside the cooldown and report them in
`skippedCooldown`.
- Recheck the cutoff during the guarded archive operation.
- Document the environment variable and add focused tests.
## Verification
- Run `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts`.
- Confirm that the test run passes 66 tests.
- Confirm that the tests cover a recent tree, an old tree, value `0`,
and a null terminal timestamp.
- Confirm that the changed files pass `tsc --noEmit`.
## Risks
The default changes terminal workspace cleanup from immediate removal to
a seven-day delay. A value of `0` preserves immediate cleanup. The
guarded archive check limits race risk during concurrent lifecycle
changes.

## Thinking Path

work

agent starts
> - A sandbox driver creates a remote folder before the adapter uploads
repository content
> - The orchestrator ran the host `provisionCommand` in that empty

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A sandbox environment ran the host `provisionCommand` before the adapter
uploaded repository content. The command ran in an empty remote folder
and failed with exit 127.
**Expected behavior**
The orchestrator should skip host provisioning for a sandbox driver. The
adapter should upload the provisioned tree during its `stage.sync` step.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Configure an environment with the `sandbox` driver and a host
`provisionCommand`.
2. Start a run that uses this environment.
3. Observe that the command runs in the empty sandbox folder and the run
fails with `setup_failed`.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced on the current `master` commit before this change.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with a sandbox environment.
**Installation method**
Built from source with pnpm.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core bug). The sandbox adapter syncs the tree
after environment setup.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Additional context**
Related context:
[#11091](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/11091) changes
provision behavior for reused workspaces. This pull request covers the
separate sandbox ordering failure.
## What Changed
- Skip the orchestrator provision step when `environment.driver` is
`sandbox`.
- Keep the existing skip for `local` and the provision step for `ssh`.
- Log one info message when a sandbox skip drops a present command.
- Keep the existing `plugin` path because it has no `stage.sync` step
and runs against the host filesystem.
- Add tests for sandbox, local, SSH, plugin, logging, and provision
failures.
## Verification
- Run `./node_modules/.bin/vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-run-orchestrator.test.ts`.
- Confirm that the test run passes all 10 tests.
- Confirm that CI checks pass on this pull request.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change affects only the provision gate for sandbox
drivers.
- SSH and local behavior stays unchanged.
- The plugin driver stays on its current path.
- The new log line makes a sandbox skip visible to operators.
## Model Used
OpenAI, GPT-5, exact runtime model `gpt-5`, with tool use and code
review support. The implementation author used this model to inspect
code, edit source and tests, and run the targeted test suite.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents need scoped secret bindings to use external services safely.
> - Agents could not request an existing secret under a new config name
without an internal secret identifier.
> - Existing binding proposals were only visible in Settings and did not
create an issue-thread approval path.
> - A confirmation card could record acceptance without proving that the
binding was created.
> - This pull request extends the existing secret proposal system with
safe source references and governed issue-thread confirmation cards.
> - The benefit is a one-click flow that creates the binding or shows a
clear failure without exposing secret material.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related prerequisite: #11482.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: server REST APIs, shared interaction contracts, database
proposal schema, and issue-thread UI.
**Problem or motivation**
An agent can need an existing bound secret under a second config name.
The agent cannot safely discover the internal secret identifier. The
existing proposal is also easy for the operator to miss because it only
appears in Settings. A generic confirmation can record acceptance
without executing the binding.
**Proposed solution**
Let an agent create a binding proposal from one of its existing config
paths. Mint a server-owned, human-only confirmation card on the
checked-out issue. Recheck the operator's target-agent permission under
the proposal row lock. Execute the existing proposal transaction after
card acceptance. Store an `executed` or `failed` result on the card.
Render the complete lifecycle in the issue thread and attention
resolver.
**Alternatives considered**
A new alias subsystem would duplicate proposal quotas, expiry,
authorization, and binding synchronization. A text-only issue comment
would not provide a governed action or an execution result. An
agent-supplied card payload would permit metadata smuggling. This change
uses the existing proposal transaction and a server-owned payload
instead.
**Roadmap alignment**
This change extends the completed "Secrets Manager with per-agent
access" roadmap item. It preserves scoped bindings and audited
resolution. The required GitHub search found no other open duplicate
issue or pull request.
## What Changed
- Added safe source-config-path binding proposals and preserved
user-secret ownership checks.
- Added a proposal-to-interaction link and an idempotent database
migration.
- Minted human-only `request_confirmation` cards with server-owned
`secretProposal` metadata.
- Rejected agent-supplied governed metadata and agent addressees.
- Rechecked `agent_config:update` authority under the proposal lock
before execution.
- Recorded `executed` or `failed` results and posted a failure comment
when no binding was created.
- Settled failed accepted proposals atomically and mirrored rejection,
withdrawal, and expiry in both directions.
- Emitted `secret.binding.created` for new agent binding writes.
- Added a dedicated issue-thread card for pending, executed, failed,
rejected, withdrawn, and expired states.
- Showed only the source label, target agent, config path, skeptical
justification, expiry, and safe failure code.
- Replaced resolved attention-query entries immediately with the
stitched server result.
- Added focused server, database, UI, and state-transition tests.
- Added Storybook fixtures for every review state and documented the API
and agent behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
ui/src/components/IssueThreadInteractionCard.test.tsx
ui/src/components/AttentionInteractionResolver.test.ts` — 58 passed.

server/src/__tests__/secret-proposals-routes.test.ts

server/src/__tests__/agents-service-secret-bindings.test.ts` — 142
passed.
- `NODE_ENV=test pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db exec vitest run
src/company-secret-proposals-migration.test.ts --silent` — 1 passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm test:run` — server 4,175 passed, UI 4,109 passed; the CLI
AWS-doctor case passes 8/8 with runtime-injected static AWS credential
variables unset.
- `pnpm build`
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD`
## Risks
- Migration `0221` adds one nullable foreign key and one index. It uses
idempotent guards.
- The accept route performs a governed write after it records card
acceptance. A failed write is visible and settles the proposal as
rejected.
- Concurrent proposal and card resolution must use
proposal-before-interaction lock order. A race test covers direct
approval against card rejection.
- The new audit event increases activity rows for newly added agent
bindings. It does not include secret values or fingerprints.
- The card includes only safe proposal metadata. It does not include
secret value, fingerprint, version, or internal secret identifiers.
- The UI uses the stitched resolution result. Focused tests cover
immediate cache replacement and every terminal state.
> This work extends an existing completed roadmap capability. The GitHub
duplicate search returned no other open related work.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex with model ID `gpt-5`. The runtime did not expose its
context-window size. Reasoning, repository tools, code execution,
database integration tests, UI rendering, and GitHub tools were enabled.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for

> - The server authenticates each agent request in `actorMiddleware`
before it attributes chat comments

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A user cancelled an onboarding question card. The agent posted a
follow-up reply. The reply appeared in a blue bubble, which the UI
reserves for human messages. The agent run held an expired local agent
JWT. The auth middleware could not verify the token, called `next()`
without an actor, and the request fell back to the local user identity.
The server stored the agent comment as a user comment.
**Expected behavior**
Agent messages always render as agent bubbles. A request with invalid
agent credentials must fail with 401 so the adapter can refresh
credentials and retry. It must not post content under a human identity.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a local Paperclip instance.
2. Give an agent run an expired or malformed agent JWT.
3. Let the agent post an issue comment through the API bridge.
4. Before this change: the comment is stored with the local user
identity and renders as a blue bubble. After this change: the request
fails with 401 and a message that tells the caller to obtain fresh
credentials.
## What Changed
- `server/src/middleware/auth.ts`: a bearer token that fails
verification now produces a 401 `unauthorized` error instead of a silent
fall-through to the anonymous/local-user actor.
- The 401 message states the cause: expired token, unverifiable token,
empty bearer token, missing agent record, agent record in another
company, terminated agent, or agent pending approval.
- The API-key path now also rejects an agent record whose company does
not match the key.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target.ts`: the bridge proxy now
writes a `comment id: <id>` marker to the run log for each posted issue
comment, so misattributed comments can be traced to a run.
- `ui/src/components/task-chat/task-chat-adapter.test.ts`: a regression
test asserts that a recovered `local-board` comment with a derived agent
author renders as an agent bubble, not a user bubble.
- `server/src/__tests__/agent-auth-middleware.test.ts` and
`packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target-sandbox.test.ts`: new tests
cover each rejection path and the log marker.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/agent-auth-middleware.test.ts` in
`server/` — 14 tests pass.
- Run `pnpm vitest run execution-target-sandbox` at the repo root — 44
tests pass.
- Run `pnpm vitest run
src/components/task-chat/task-chat-adapter.test.ts` in `ui/` — 4 tests
pass.
- Manual check: post an issue comment with an expired agent JWT; the API
returns 401 with a retry message and no comment is stored.
## Risks
- Behavioral shift: requests that previously continued as anonymous or
local-user actors after a failed agent-token verification now receive
401. Any caller that relied on the silent downgrade must refresh its
credentials. This is the intended fix, and the adapters already handle
401 with a credential refresh.
- No schema or migration changes. Low risk otherwise.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Workspaces let users and agents inspect files that belong to an
issue
> - Changed-file views use full-tree Git status scans
> - Many issue views could start those scans at the same time and make
the server unresponsive
> - Route-level limits did not protect the process or coalesce work for
one repository
> - This pull request adds one bounded scheduler for every expensive
workspace Git scan
> - It also starts browser scans only when the file panel is open and
visible
> - The benefit is bounded child-process use and responsive health
checks during request storms
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Many changed-file requests could start full `git status --porcelain=v1
-z --untracked-files=all` scans at the same time. One production
incident produced about 270 direct Git child processes. The Node process
stayed alive but stopped answering health requests in time.
**Expected behavior**
Paperclip must bound expensive Git work across all companies, actors,
issues, repositories, and browser tabs. Duplicate requests for one
worktree must share work. Excess requests must fail fast with a
retryable response. Hidden or closed file panels must not start scans.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open changed-file views for many issue and actor keys.
2. Send requests for two large workspace roots at the same time.
3. Observe that route-level limiter keys allow many full Git scans to
run together.
4. Observe delayed health responses and accumulated Git children.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced on master before commit `43ab441f0f`.
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted server with local workspace repositories.
## What Changed
- Add a process-wide scheduler with configurable concurrency, queue
capacity, timeout, and cache TTL.
- Add fair admission, a bounded queue, canonical worktree keys,
single-flight joins, and bounded result caching.
- Add subprocess timeouts, TERM-to-KILL escalation, bounded output,
waiter cancellation, and slot cleanup.
- Route full-tree status work from file resources, workspace runtime,
execution workspaces, and adapter overlay sync through the scheduler.
- Return stable retryable `503` and `504` error codes for saturation and
timeout.
- Add structured logs with safe workspace hashes, durations, queue
state, cache use, joins, and terminal outcomes.
- Gate UI queries on panel and document visibility. Cancel queries on
close, hide, unmount, and workspace change.
- Disable focus and reconnect bursts. Keep one explicit refresh action
and a retryable unavailable state.
- Document the 10-second default freshness tradeoff and all
configuration variables.
- Add unit, route, UI, adapter, and deterministic 500-request load
coverage.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/workspace-git-operation-scheduler.test.ts
src/__tests__/file-resources-git-scan-load.test.ts --reporter=dot` — 16
tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/WorkspaceFileBrowser.test.tsx
src/lib/page-visibility.test.ts --reporter=dot` — 38 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec vitest run
src/git-workspace-sync.test.ts --reporter=dot` — 16 tests passed.
- Existing file-resource, workspace-runtime, and execution-workspace
regression selections passed.
- Two cleanup safety regressions prove failed scans preserve the
worktree before archive and at the final deletion fence.
- Before: the incident produced about 270 Git children and health
requests timed out.
- After: 500 concurrent requests across 500 issue keys, 73 actors, and
two roots started two underlying scans. Peak scan concurrency was 2. All
500 requests succeeded. Health p99 was 4.94 ms. The harness found zero
unreaped children.
- The full local Vitest run passed 4,267 tests. Ten existing fixed-port
HTTPS exposure tests could not run because this host already owns
Tailnet listeners on ports 42000 and 52000. Clean GitHub CI is the final
full-suite result.
- Latest-head GitHub CI passed all required test, typecheck, build,
canary, e2e, policy, and security gates.
- Greptile completed at 5/5 with zero unresolved comments,
recommendations, or follow-ups.
## Risks
- Changed-file results can be up to 10 seconds old by default. Explicit
refresh remains available.
- A full queue returns a retryable `503` instead of waiting without a
bound.
- A scan that exceeds the default 8-second deadline returns a retryable
`504` and terminates its process group.
- Operators can tune all limits with documented environment variables.
Safe defaults protect local and shared servers.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Claude local adapter supports a setup-token subscription login,
and its confidential routes pass a fail-closed transport guard
> - The guard accepts direct socket TLS, a local_trusted loopback peer,
or an allowlisted proxy peer that forwards https — and deliberately
never reads the global `TRUST_PROXY`
> - On a managed platform the edge terminates TLS, the app socket is
always plain HTTP, and the edge-proxy peer addresses are not stable or
documented, so none of the three cases can hold
> - Every login on such a deployment shows the clear-text transport
warning although the user's connection is HTTPS, and the agent-scoped
confidential routes fail closed entirely
> - This pull request adds a dedicated operator declaration that the
platform edge terminates TLS, as a fourth guard case
> - The benefit is a correct transport decision on managed platforms
with the default posture unchanged everywhere else
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue covers this. The problem is described in-PR
following the enhancement template. Related public PRs:
[#11347](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/11347) added the
new-agent login flow and the non-blocking transport advisory, and
[#11286](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/11286) added the
setup-token login and the guard with its `CLAUDE_LOGIN_TRUSTED_PROXIES`
allowlist.
**Subsystem affected**
server/ — the confidential transport guard for the Claude setup-token
login (`services/setup-token-session.ts`, `routes/agents.ts`, `app.ts`).
**Current behavior**
The guard allows a confidential response on direct socket TLS, on a
`local_trusted` loopback peer, or when the immediate peer is on the
dedicated `CLAUDE_LOGIN_TRUSTED_PROXIES` allowlist and forwards `https`.
Behind a managed platform's TLS-terminating edge (Railway, Render, Fly,
and similar), the app socket is plain HTTP and the edge-proxy peer
addresses are not operator-visible or stable, so the allowlist cannot
express them — IPv6 entries match by exact string only. The result: the
login panel shows "This connection is not encrypted" for a connection
that is HTTPS to the user, and the agent-scoped confidential routes
return the fixed no-secret error.
**Proposed behavior**
`CLAUDE_LOGIN_EDGE_TLS_TERMINATED=true` is an explicit, single-purpose
operator declaration that every client request reaches the server
through the platform's TLS-terminating edge. Under the declaration the
guard treats a request as confidential unless the edge itself labels the
client hop as plain `http` in `X-Forwarded-Proto`. The declaration is
never derived from the global `TRUST_PROXY` setting, which the guard
still never reads. Without the declaration, nothing changes.
**Reason and benefit**
The guard's spoofing concern does not apply to this deployment shape: a
client cannot pick its transport, because the platform admits HTTPS
only, and the header the guard consults is set by the platform edge, not
the client. A blanket warning that is always wrong teaches users to
ignore it. The declaration keeps the strict default for every deployment
that does not opt in, and it keeps the allowlist as the precise tool for
operators who do know their proxy addresses.
## What Changed
- `ConfidentialTransportConfig` gains optional `edgeTlsTerminated`
(default false), documented as the operator declaration for platform
edge TLS termination.
- `evaluateConfidentialTransport` adds the declaration as a guard case:
allowed unless the forwarded protocol's first hop is explicitly `http`
(reason `edge_labeled_plain_http` then; `operator_edge_tls_termination`
when allowed).
- `assessConfidentialStartup` reports `edge_tls_termination_declared`,
so the startup log shows why forwarded requests pass.
- `app.ts` parses `CLAUDE_LOGIN_EDGE_TLS_TERMINATED` (truthy:
`1/true/yes/on`) and passes it to the agent routes; the routes build the
guard config from it.
- The SR-7 operator-requirement comment on the setup-token routes
documents the new variable next to the allowlist.
- Tests: five new guard unit cases and a route case asserting the prompt
and code responses carry no `transportAdvisory` under the declaration.
## Verification
```sh
cd server
npx tsc --noEmit # clean
npx vitest run src/services/setup-token-session.test.ts \
src/routes/setup-token-route.test.ts \
src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts # 3 files, 89 passed
```
The new "keeps failing closed when the declaration is absent" case pins
the unchanged default posture.
## Risks
The declaration is an operator statement the server cannot verify; an
operator who sets it on a deployment whose edge does not terminate TLS
re-labels plain-HTTP requests as confidential. This is the same trust
class as `CLAUDE_LOGIN_TRUSTED_PROXIES` (a wrong allowlist entry has the
same effect) and is opt-in, off by default, and scoped to the login
routes only. The guard still fails closed when the edge explicitly
labels a request `http`. No schema change, no API shape change —
`transportAdvisory` was already nullable.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Plugins can extend Paperclip with their own multi-step
workflow/graph engines that own an issue's lifecycle across many agent
handoffs
> - When such a plugin-managed issue legitimately stays `in_progress`
for a while (e.g. an anchor issue parked at a fan-out step, waiting on
child issues it spawned), Paperclip's generic recovery mechanisms have
no way to know that's intentional
> - The first commit on this branch fixed one such mechanism
(`decideSuccessfulRunHandoff`) to skip plugin-owned issues, and was
deployed to a real instance to verify the fix
> - Watching that same instance afterward, the identical symptom
(repeated "give a disposition" nags, the agent repeating "completed",
the plugin's own enforcement correctly reverting the status) recurred on
the same class of issue — meaning a second, independent code path had
the exact same gap
> - Traced it to `reconcileStrandedAssignedIssues` in `service.ts`: it
detects a stale successful-run-handoff corrective run via
`isExhaustedSuccessfulRunHandoff` and, once "exhausted" (default max
attempts is 1, so effectively immediate), escalates via
`escalateStrandedAssignedIssue` — with no check on who owns the issue's
lifecycle at all
> - Rather than duplicate the `originKind` check inline a second time
(which is exactly how it got missed the first time), extracted it into a
shared, exported, unit-tested helper (`isPluginManagedIssueLifecycle`)
that both recovery paths now call
> - The benefit is the same as the first commit, but closing the second
loop this pull request's earlier version left open: generic plugin-owned
issues (any workflow/graph-engine plugin, not just one specific plugin)
stop burning real agent-run cost in a loop that can never actually
resolve, across both recovery mechanisms that can trigger it
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing public issue covers this — describing it directly, following
the bug report fields:
**What happened?**
An issue owned by a workflow-engine-style plugin (`originKind` starting
with `"plugin:"`) was correctly held at `in_progress` by the plugin
while it waited on spawned child issues to finish. The assigned agent's
heartbeat succeeded and posted a well-formed completion comment, but
`issue.status` stayed `in_progress` (the plugin's own enforcement
reverted it, correctly, since the underlying work wasn't done).
- **Path 1 (fixed in the first commit):** `decideSuccessfulRunHandoff()`
saw `status === "in_progress"` after a successful run and enqueued a
"missing disposition" corrective wake. The agent responded again, the
plugin reverted the status again, and the recovery re-triggered again.
- **Path 2 (fixed in the second commit, found after deploying and
verifying the first fix on a live instance):** separately,
`reconcileStrandedAssignedIssues` periodically re-scans `in_progress`
issues, sees the corrective run from Path 1 (or any prior
successful-run-handoff wake) as "exhausted" evidence, and escalates the
issue via `escalateStrandedAssignedIssue` regardless of plugin ownership
— producing the same nag-revert-nag cycle through a completely different
call path that the first commit's fix did not touch.
**Expected behavior**
Neither recovery mechanism should nag an agent for a disposition, or
escalate for one, on an issue whose lifecycle is already owned and
managed by a plugin — that plugin's own enforcement/recovery path is the
correct owner of "what happens next," not these generic core mechanisms.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Install a plugin that creates/owns issues via the plugin host bridge
(`ctx.issues.create`/`ctx.issues.update`) with an `originKind` of
`"plugin:<pluginKey>"`.
2. Have the plugin's own graph/workflow logic hold an issue at
`in_progress` while some multi-step process it owns is still pending
(e.g. spawned child issues not yet complete).
3. Let an agent run a successful heartbeat on that issue that produces
visible progress (a comment) but does not change `issue.status` away
from `in_progress` in a way that sticks (the plugin's own logic reverts
any change back to `in_progress` on the next event).
4. Observe `decideSuccessfulRunHandoff` enqueue a corrective handoff
wake (Path 1), and/or `reconcileStrandedAssignedIssues` treat that
wake's run as exhausted and escalate (Path 2). Either one repeats
indefinitely on its own.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`eb2cb916be3271e3e7ab5f643ad3ca3eb7c34d01` (current `master` at time of
the first commit; rebased onto `ad961227f` for the second)
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted server
## What Changed
- **First commit:** Added `originKind: issues.originKind` to the issue
query in `heartbeat.ts` that feeds `decideSuccessfulRunHandoff`, and a
skip condition there for `originKind` starting with `"plugin:"`.
- **Second commit:**
- Extracted the plugin-ownership check out of
`decideSuccessfulRunHandoff` into a new exported helper,
`isPluginManagedIssueLifecycle(issue)`, in `successful-run-handoff.ts`.
- Added the same check to `reconcileStrandedAssignedIssues` in
`service.ts`, immediately before it would otherwise escalate an issue
based on `isExhaustedSuccessfulRunHandoff` evidence — skipping
plugin-managed issues there too.
- Added unit tests for the new helper directly (plugin-prefixed origin
kinds → `true`; non-plugin/missing origin kinds → `false`), alongside
the existing `decideSuccessfulRunHandoff` tests (updated to import and
rely on the shared helper, behavior unchanged).
## Verification
- `npx vitest run
server/src/services/recovery/successful-run-handoff.test.ts` — 20/20
passed (18 pre-existing/from the first commit + 2 new for the extracted
helper).
- `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-comment-wake-batching.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
server/src/services/recovery/successful-run-handoff.test.ts` — full
suite still passes with the refactor.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit` — no new errors
introduced by either commit (confirmed against a pre-existing baseline
of unrelated `@paperclipai/plugin-sdk` module-resolution errors from the
workspace, present identically with the changes stashed out).
- Manually verified Path 1 against a real plugin-managed issue stuck in
that loop: after deploying the first commit and restarting the server,
the same agent posted the same completion comment again, and the
corrective-handoff recovery did not re-trigger.
- Path 2 was found live on the same instance after that first deploy
(the loop recurred through the second, independent mechanism) —
root-caused via direct inspection of
`heartbeat_runs`/`agent_wakeup_requests`/issue comment history, then
fixed in the second commit. Not yet re-verified live on the instance
(pending redeploy of this updated branch).
## Risks
- Low risk. Both changes are additive skip conditions — they only cause
a recovery decision to return early for a specific, narrow case
(`originKind` starting with `"plugin:"`) that previously fell through to
escalation/enqueue. No existing skip conditions are changed or reordered
in a way that affects non-plugin issues.
- Behavioral shift: plugin-managed issues that are genuinely stuck (not
just correctly mid-flight) will no longer get either of these corrective
nags. This is intentional — the plugin owning the issue is expected to
have its own recovery path — but it does mean these mechanisms are no
longer a safety net for buggy plugins that leave issues stranded. Plugin
authors should ensure their own enforcement handles stranded states.
- The refactor (extracting `isPluginManagedIssueLifecycle`) is a pure
code-motion change for the first commit's check — no behavior change
there, only a new call site added in `service.ts`.
- No migration required (query-shape and control-flow changes only, no
schema change).
## Model Used
Claude (Anthropic), model `claude-sonnet-5`, used within a coding-agent
harness (Claude Code) with tool use (file edit, test execution, git
operations, live production-instance debugging via SSH/SQL) and extended
reasoning across two sessions: the first implemented and deployed the
initial fix, the second discovered the second recovery path was still
looping on a live instance, root-caused it, and implemented/tested this
follow-up commit.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip uses durable task sessions so local adapters can resume
work across sequential heartbeat runs.
> - `execution_review_requested` and `execution_changes_requested` are
issue-local execution-policy handoffs, not new task assignments.
> - The existing `agent_task_sessions` lookup, adapter session codec,
workspace resolution, and effective config freshness checks already
decide whether reuse is safe.
> - Treating those two handoff wake reasons as unconditional
fresh-session boundaries discards a valid saved task session before
adapter resume can be attempted.
> - This makes Dev → CodeReview → Dev loops repeatedly cold-start even
when task, issue, agent, adapter, workspace, and config identity are
unchanged.
> - The fix is to let normal review/change-request handoffs reach the
durable task-session path while preserving explicit fresh-session and
unsafe-boundary resets.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#8246.
cc @cryppadotta — this is the narrow handoff-session policy change
discussed there: normal `execution_review_requested` /
`execution_changes_requested` wakes no longer force a fresh task session
by wake reason alone, while assignment, approval, review-participant
recovery, timer wakes, explicit `forceFreshSession`, and
config/workspace/model/session freshness still keep their safety
boundaries.
## What Changed
- Removed normal `execution_review_requested` and
`execution_changes_requested` from the unconditional task-session reset
policy.
- Kept fresh-session boundaries for:
- `issue_assigned`
- `execution_approval_requested`
- `execution_review_participant_recovery`
- `heartbeat_timer`
- explicit `forceFreshSession`
- existing config/model/workspace/session freshness reset paths
- Updated heartbeat session-policy tests so execution handoffs are
resume-eligible by wake reason alone.
- Preserved PF-4 timer-wake behavior and its explicit reset reason.
## Verification
- `npx pnpm@9.15.4 exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-timer-wake-session-reset-pf4.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/codex-local-execute.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-comment-reopen-routes.test.ts
--reporter=verbose` — 220 tests passed.
- `npx pnpm@9.15.4 --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
- `coderabbit review --agent -t committed --base origin/master` — 0
findings.
## Risks
- Moderate behavior change in session-boundary policy: normal
review/change-request handoffs may now reuse a saved per-task session
when the existing identity/freshness checks pass.
- Safety boundaries remain in place for new assignments, approval gates,
review-participant recovery, timer/discovery wakes, explicit
fresh-session requests, and config/model/workspace/session drift.
- If a saved session is stale or incompatible, existing freshness/resume
fallback behavior still handles reset/fresh execution.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists. The inline report below follows the bug report
template.
### Pre-submission checklist
- [x] I searched existing open and closed issues and found no duplicate.
- [x] I reproduced the bug on the latest release and current `master`.
- [x] I confirmed the error originates in Paperclip core fingerprinting,
not an adapter, provider, or local configuration.
### What happened?
On Paperclip 2026.720.0 and current `master`, a comment on an issue
changes
`issues.updated_at`. Heartbeat session fingerprinting includes that
value under
`workspaceConfig.issueConfigRevisionAt`, so the next wake for the same
issue
reports a workspace-config change and refuses the saved task session.
### Expected behavior
Comment-only and other non-configuration issue updates should be
delivered as
wake deltas without invalidating the task session. Changes to the
execution
mode, issue workspace settings, project policy, environment,
instructions,
model, secrets, or other effective run configuration must still reset
it.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Complete a local session-adapter run for an issue and retain its task
session.
2. Add a comment to the issue without changing execution configuration.
3. Wake the same agent for the same issue.
4. Observe `changedCategories: ["workspaceConfig"]` and a fresh session.
### Paperclip version or commit
Reproduced on Paperclip 2026.720.0 and current `master`.
### Deployment mode
Self-hosted server.
### Installation method
npm global install; also reproduced from the current source tree.
### Agent adapter(s) involved
Codex exposed the symptom. The bug is in core fingerprint construction
and is
not adapter-specific.
### Database mode
External Postgres. The bug is not database-specific.
### Access context
Board comments trigger the timestamp change; the subsequent agent wake
exposes
the reset.
### Node.js version
Node.js 22.
### Operating system
Ubuntu 24.04.
### Relevant logs or output
The next run records `changedCategories: ["workspaceConfig"]` and starts
a
fresh session after a comment-only mutation.
### Relevant config
No unusual configuration is required.
### Additional context
The regression test exercises the fingerprint directly on current
`master`.
### Privacy checklist
- [x] I reviewed the report for PII, credentials, private paths, company
names, and instance-local identifiers.
## What Changed
- Copy and sanitize the session workspace-fingerprint input before
hashing.
- Exclude only `issueConfigRevisionAt`, which reflects general issue
mutation
rather than workspace configuration.
- Add regression coverage proving comment timestamps preserve the
session while
real workspace mode/settings changes still reset it.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts`
- 120 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- passed.
- `git diff --check`
- passed.
## Risks
Low risk. A general issue update no longer rotates the adapter session
solely
because its row timestamp changed. The fingerprint still includes issue
workspace settings, issue adapter overrides, project workspace policy,
environment, instructions, runtime skills, secrets, model profile,
adapter
configuration, and agent runtime configuration, so actual
execution-config
drift continues to reset.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work; issues get commented on by both humans and agents, and the
assignee is woken to act on new comments.
> - #10050 added human-attributed issue comments for chat gateway
plugins, with the host waking the issue's assignee the same way a board
user's comment does.
> - Greptile's review on #10050 flagged that the wakeup guard in
`plugin-host-services.ts` decides whether to wake the assignee using the
issue snapshot fetched *before* the comment was inserted.
> - If another request closes, cancels, unassigns, or reassigns the
issue in the window between that fetch and the wakeup call, the guard
still acts on the stale snapshot — it can wake an agent for a
now-terminal issue, or wake the old assignee instead of the new one.
> - The PR discussion noted the HTTP add-comment route
(`routes/issues.ts`) has the identical pattern outside its
reopen/auto-approval branches, and deferred a fix to a follow-up
covering both call sites — this PR is that follow-up.
> - The fix re-fetches the issue immediately before the wake decision in
both places, so the decision reflects the latest committed state instead
of a pre-insert snapshot.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #10050
**Problem or motivation**
Both the plugin-comment wakeup guard (`plugin-host-services.ts`) and the
HTTP add-comment route's wakeup guard (`routes/issues.ts`, outside its
reopen/auto-approval branches) decide whether to wake the issue's
assignee using the issue state fetched before the comment was inserted.
A concurrent close/unassign/reassign landing in that window is invisible
to the guard, so it can enqueue a wakeup for a stale assignee or an
issue that is no longer open.
**Proposed solution**
Re-fetch the issue immediately before the wake decision in both call
sites, and base the assignee/status checks on that fresh read instead of
the earlier snapshot. This shrinks the race window to essentially
nothing (the fetch happens right before the fire-and-forget wakeup
call), and any residual window is already covered by the
heartbeat/checkout machinery re-validating issue status and assignee
ownership when a woken run actually starts.
**Alternatives considered**
Wrap the whole comment-insert + wake-decision sequence in a single
serializable transaction with row locking (rejected for this change —
much larger blast radius across two already-complex handlers for a
wakeup that is explicitly best-effort; the woken run's own re-validation
already makes a stale wake degrade to a no-op rather than incorrect
work). Leaving the plugin path fixed but not the HTTP route (rejected —
that was the exact gap the original PR discussion flagged as needing a
follow-up covering both call sites).
**Roadmap alignment**
Bug fix / hardening follow-up to #10050; no change to planned core
roadmap items.
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/plugin-host-services.ts`:
`issues.createComment`'s assignee-wakeup guard now re-fetches the issue
after the comment is inserted and bases the assignee/status checks on
that fresh read, instead of the snapshot fetched before the insert.
- `server/src/routes/issues.ts`: the `POST /issues/:id/comments` route's
wakeup guard (outside the reopen/auto-approval branches, which already
use post-mutation state) now does the same re-fetch before deciding
whether — and whom — to wake.
- Adds regression coverage for both:
- `server/src/__tests__/plugin-orchestration-apis.test.ts`: a new
embedded-Postgres test holds a row lock on the issue to
deterministically force the race (comment-insert's internal update
blocks until a concurrent transaction commits a cancellation), then
asserts no wakeup is enqueued.
- `server/src/__tests__/issue-comment-reopen-routes.test.ts`: two new
mocked-service tests assert the route skips the wakeup when the fresh
re-fetch shows the issue cancelled, and wakes the freshly reassigned
agent (not the pre-insert snapshot's assignee) when the fresh re-fetch
shows a different assignee.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — clean.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/plugin-orchestration-apis.test.ts` — 13/13 (1 new).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-comment-reopen-routes.test.ts` — 74/74 (2 new).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk exec vitest run
tests/host-client-factory.test.ts` — 14/14.
- Broader sweep of 38 `routes/issues.ts`-adjacent test files (447 tests)
— all passing, confirming the added re-fetch doesn't change behavior for
any existing
reopen/auto-approval/interrupt/scheduled-retry/dependency-wake scenario.
## Risks
Low risk. Both changes are additive guards around an existing
best-effort, fire-and-forget wakeup (failures already logged, not
thrown) — no change to the comment-write path itself, response shape, or
status codes. The HTTP route's fix only touches the plain (non-reopen,
non-auto-approval) wake-decision path; the reopen and auto-approval
branches already used post-mutation state for the reasons documented
inline and are unchanged. Adds one extra `SELECT` per comment on each
call site, negligible relative to the existing query volume in both
handlers.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Local CLI adapters are responsible for starting agent runtimes and
validating that their configured models are usable before a run starts.
> - The OpenCode local adapter checks `opencode models` during model
discovery and preflight validation.
> - On hosts with a shared Ollama daemon, that lightweight metadata call
can transiently queue behind an active generation and time out or return
a short failure.
> - Treating that transient contention as a hard adapter failure
prevents otherwise valid local OpenCode runs from starting.
> - This pull request adds a small bounded retry/backoff around OpenCode
model discovery while keeping the existing per-attempt timeout and
surfacing a final failure when retries are exhausted.
> - The benefit is fewer false adapter failures during local Ollama
contention without changing shared Ollama configuration or hiding
genuinely stuck model discovery.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this adapter reliability bug.
Bug description:
- What happened: `opencode models` can transiently time out or fail
while a shared local Ollama daemon is busy serving another OpenCode
generation, causing the adapter preflight to fail before the actual run
starts.
- Expected behavior: transient model-list contention should be retried
briefly before declaring the adapter unavailable.
- Steps to reproduce: run an OpenCode local adapter using an
Ollama-backed model while another `opencode run` is actively generating
against the same daemon, then trigger model discovery/preflight during
that contention window.
- Paperclip version/commit: observed on the current Paperclip
master-line OpenCode local adapter before this change.
- Deployment mode: local trusted / local CLI adapter execution with a
shared local Ollama daemon.
Related search:
- Searched public GitHub issues for `opencode models preflight retry`;
no matching issue found.
- Searched public GitHub PRs for `opencode models preflight retry`; no
matching PR found. The only search hit was unrelated OpenClaw gateway
authentication work (#6121).
## What Changed
- Added bounded retry/backoff to OpenCode model discovery: three total
attempts with 2s and 4s waits between failures.
- Preserved the existing 20s per-attempt `opencode models` timeout.
- Retry covers timeout and non-zero process exits, while spawn-level
failures still surface immediately.
- Added unit coverage for transient fail -> timeout -> success behavior
and exhausted retry behavior.
- Updated existing OpenCode environment diagnostic tests with explicit
timeouts for the intentional retry/backoff path.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-opencode-local exec vitest run
src/server/models.test.ts src/server/execute.test.ts` -> 2 files passed,
13 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-opencode-local typecheck` ->
passed.
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/opencode-local-adapter-environment.test.ts` -> 1
file passed, 3 tests passed.
- Branch diff against current `upstream/master` is limited to
`packages/adapters/opencode-local/src/server/models.ts`,
`packages/adapters/opencode-local/src/server/models.test.ts`, and
`server/src/__tests__/opencode-local-adapter-environment.test.ts`.
## Risks
Low risk. This only changes OpenCode model discovery behavior and keeps
the preflight bounded. A genuinely unavailable `opencode models` call
still fails after three attempts, and command spawn failures are not
masked.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5.5 coding agent, tool-enabled repository editing and
shell verification in a local Paperclip workspace.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - The issue list API is one of the surfaces API consumers use to
synchronize issue metadata.
> - The list endpoint intentionally returns a bounded `description`
preview so large descriptions do not bloat list responses.
> - Before this change, that preview looked like a complete field value
because the response did not say whether it had been shortened.
> - That made round-trip clients vulnerable to accidentally PATCHing a
preview back over the full description.
> - This pull request keeps the existing preview behavior but adds an
explicit `descriptionTruncated` flag.
> - The benefit is backwards-compatible visibility into truncated issue
descriptions, so clients can avoid data-loss workflows.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#4758.
Related PR: #4792 also targets #4758, but it includes unrelated logger
changes and currently has separate review/security concerns. This PR
keeps the fix scoped to the issue-list description truncation API
behavior.
## What Changed
- Added `descriptionTruncated` to the issue list projection when
`description` exceeds the existing 1200-character preview limit.
- Exposed `descriptionTruncated?: boolean` on the shared `Issue` type.
- Added service tests for truncated descriptions, exact-limit
descriptions, null descriptions, and multibyte-safe preview truncation.
## Verification
June 18, 2026 refresh after rebasing onto current `origin/master`:
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm typecheck`
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD`
- GitHub PR checks are green on head `12e828e6`.
Earlier pre-review verification also included `pnpm test`.
## Risks
- Low risk. This is an additive API response field; existing clients can
ignore it.
- The list endpoint still returns the same bounded `description`
preview. Clients that need full text should continue fetching the issue
detail, but can now detect when that is necessary.
- No database migration or UI behavior change.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related public work:
[#9488](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/9488) adds
first-class recognition for `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` in headless and
remote runs. Related public issue:
[#2681](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/issues/2681) requests
Claude Code subscription support. This pull request adds the login
transport and new-agent UI flow that those changes do not provide.
**Subsystem affected:** Claude local adapter, server login probes,
sandbox provider setup, cleanup recovery, and the new-agent UI.
**Problem or motivation:** The Test lanes did not show the sandbox login
panel in all supported cases. Test results also exposed raw probe
diagnostics, and JSON escapes could end secret redaction early.
**Proposed solution:** Surface the login capability through the bundled
provider manifest. Prepare the same probe runtime in the ACP lane. Send
diagnostics only to redacted server logs. Keep Test checks on fixed
public messages. Normalize login URL hints to allowlisted HTTPS Claude
and Anthropic hosts. Consume JSON escapes during redaction. Preserve
failed sandbox cleanup state across retries and restarts, and prevent
deletion from severing the lifecycle context of a live reusable sandbox.
**Alternatives considered:** Keep raw diagnostics in Test checks or
trust login URL text from the sandbox. Both choices increase information
exposure. Keep separate probe behavior in the ACP lane. That choice
would leave the two Test lanes inconsistent.
## What Changed
- Surface the sandbox login panel on both Test lanes.
- Reconcile the bundled Daytona plugin manifest so
`supportsSetupTokenLogin` reaches the UI capability gate.
- Prepare the ACP Test lane with the same probe runtime as the CLI Test
lane.
- Add the `claude_acp_login_probe_unavailable` warning when the ACP
probe cannot run.
- Send raw sandbox diagnostics only to redacted server logs.
- Keep Test checks on fixed public messages in the ACP, managed-config,
and CLI paths.
- Normalize login URL hints to allowlisted HTTPS Claude and Anthropic
hosts.
- Redact JSON and escaped-JSON secret values, including escaped quotes
and backslashes.
- Preserve orphan cleanup records across provider failures, restarts,
and unavailable plugins.
- Atomically block environment deletion while a live reusable sandbox
lease still depends on it.
- Verify pending cleanup destroys plugin sandboxes with the provider
configuration recorded on the lease, even after the current environment
configuration changes.
## Verification
- Head under review: `506b7fa2d83c36bfa5fd722ee9d95b0c7431c241`.
- Focused environment route/service/runtime coverage passes: 196 tests
across 3 files.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm build` passes.
- The full Vitest run completed with 4,754 passing and 28 failing tests.
All 23 source-test failures reproduce unchanged on parent head
`58cfe61a33191ce03d965d65085d26064b4888ba`; the other 5 are duplicate
executions from stale `server/dist` output. The failures are unrelated
macOS path/listener and scheduler-fixture failures, so there is no new
bad commit for bisect to localize.
- All required CI checks pass for the current head, including build,
typecheck/release registry, all server and workspace shards, serialized
server suites, canary, and e2e.
- A fresh Greptile review for `506b7fa2d83c36bfa5fd722ee9d95b0c7431c241`
reports 5/5, “safe to merge,” with no blocking failure remaining.
## Risks
- A probe or redaction change could hide useful server diagnostics.
- An allowlist change could reject a valid Claude login URL.
- Cleanup recovery changes could affect provider teardown ordering.
- An environment with a live reusable sandbox can no longer be deleted
until the owning issue or execution workspace completes teardown.
- The implementation keeps public Test messages fixed and sends detail
to redacted server logs.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 via Codex — exact model ID: GPT-5; tool use and code
execution enabled; extended reasoning enabled. The implementation author
used AI-assisted development.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandboxed agents use provider capabilities to select safe execution
paths
> - Session output still depends on three operator flags that duplicate
capability data
> - Duplicate flags can drift from the verified sandbox capability
snapshot
> - This pull request makes the capability snapshot the only streaming
decision and removes the obsolete flags
> - The benefit is default streaming with a poll fallback when a
capability or stream fails
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
ACP sandbox session-output streaming and sandbox execution
configuration.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (multiple of the above): server/, packages/shared/,
packages/adapter-utils/, and packages/plugins/.
**Current behavior**
Session-output streaming requires operator flags in the server and
Daytona plugin configuration. Saved configurations can retain a removed
key.
**Proposed behavior**
The verified capability snapshot selects streaming. The Daytona plugin
uses persistent sessions by default, keeps bypass commands one-shot, and
falls back from the log stream to polling. Removed configuration keys
become inert.
**Reason and benefit**
One capability source prevents configuration drift. The fallback keeps
output available when capability resolution or log streaming fails.
**Breaking changes**
The three operator flags no longer control session-output streaming.
Existing saved keys load but have no effect.
## What Changed
- Remove `useSessions` and `useLogStream` from the Daytona plugin
configuration and manifest.
- Remove `streamAgentSessionOutput` from server configuration, shared
types, and execution-target plumbing.
- Select streaming from `persistentProcessSessions` and
`independentControlCommands`.
- Keep poll fallback on capability resolution failure and stream
failure.
- Strip removed keys from strict fake-sandbox and catchall plugin
configuration.
- Update the sandbox capability documentation and focused tests.
## Verification
- `tsc --noEmit` passed in `packages/shared`, `packages/adapter-utils`,
`server`, and the Daytona plugin.
- Daytona `plugin.test.ts` passed 139 tests.
- Server capability, configuration, route, and runtime suites passed 160
tests.
- `packages/adapter-utils` `execution-target-sandbox.test.ts` passed 44
tests.
- The capability matrix covers stream, poll, and resolution-failure
paths.
- Removed-key tests cover strict fake-sandbox and catchall plugin
schemas.
## Risks
- A capability snapshot that lacks either required session capability
uses polling.
- A log stream failure uses polling and can increase request count.
- Existing removed configuration keys no longer change behavior.
- The isolated-worktree Daytona Vitest run has a pre-existing missing
`packages/adapters/droid-local` reference. CI and standard checkouts use
the committed configuration.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code review assistance. The exact
runtime context window is managed by the Codex platform.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip runs work through adapters and sandbox providers
> - Providers need a clear contract so the server can use only verified
capabilities
> - A declared capability must not grant a method that the live worker
did not verify
> - This pull request adds manifest declarations and fail-closed
effective capability resolution
> - The benefit is safe provider reuse across execution targets and run
lifecycles
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (multiple of the above)
**Problem or motivation**
Sandbox providers expose different runtime methods. The server needs one
safe capability contract that accounts for provider declarations, worker
verification, and narrowing configuration.
**Proposed solution**
Add strict manifest validation for five sandbox capabilities. Resolve
effective capabilities as the subset of verified, declared, and narrowed
values. Store the result as a frozen execution-target snapshot.
**Alternatives considered**
Trusting the manifest alone could grant methods that the worker does not
support. Trusting only a fixed built-in list would reject valid
third-party providers. The intersection rule keeps the verified runtime
ceiling and supports both provider types.
**Roadmap alignment**
This change supports the ACP run lifecycle track and the sandbox
provider contract work in the current roadmap.
**Additional context**
The legacy `supportsReusableLeases` field remains supported. The nested
capability validator rejects unknown keys. Missing or unavailable
verification resolves all capabilities to `false`.
## What Changed
- Add strict `sandboxCapabilities` manifest validation with legacy
reusable-lease compatibility.
- Carry declarations through the ready-driver projection.
- Add fail-closed effective resolution from verified, declared, and
narrowed capabilities.
- Add narrowing for provider configuration, Kubernetes Job leases, and
Daytona sessions.
- Add a frozen read-only capability snapshot to execution targets.
- Add focused tests and keep existing characterization baselines
covered.
- Add and update sandbox provider capability documentation.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run packages/shared/src/validators/plugin.test.ts`
- `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/plugin-environment-driver-sandbox-capabilities.test.ts`
- `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/sandbox-capability-contract.test.ts`
- `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target-capabilities.test.ts`

packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/startup-characterization.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/turn-characterization.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/settlement-characterization.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/composed-run-characterization.test.ts`
- Package typechecks for shared, server, and adapter-utils pass.
- Stage-2 security review suites pass with 28 tests.
## Risks
The resolver fails closed when verification is absent or unavailable.
Providers that rely on undeclared capabilities may see narrower behavior
until they expose verified worker methods. The change does not alter the
existing native-sync guard.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, exact runtime model ID `gpt-5`, tool use and code
execution. The implementation author used this model to assist with the
change.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work

pair exclusively for the whole life of the lane
> - A managed start reused a pair that a stopped but still leased
workspace owned. Paperclip reported that workspace stopped and its
exposure removed, while the host listeners and the Serve mappings for
those ports were live and belonged to an unrelated workspace
> - The cause is that ownership was decided in more than one place, and
no single place saw persisted reservations, live listeners, and Serve
mappings together
> - This pull request adds one mediator that owns the decision, and
makes every mismatch fail closed while naming the conflicting workspace
> - The benefit is that a later start cannot collide with, adopt, or
interfere with another issue's service, and cannot produce security
evidence attributed to the wrong workspace
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists. The change follows the bug report
template.
**What happened**
A managed HTTPS start reused the loopback port pair of a stopped but
still exclusively leased execution workspace. The ports were then held
by an unrelated workspace. Paperclip continued to report the first
workspace's runtime as stopped and its exposure as removed, while the
host listeners and the `tailscale serve` mappings for those exact ports
were live and owned by the other workspace.
**Expected behavior**
An active execution-workspace lease reserves its app and HMR pair until
the lease is explicitly released or torn down. A start that finds the
pair held by a different workspace fails closed and names the conflict.
Paperclip never adopts a process or a Serve mapping across
execution-workspace ids.
**Root cause**
Three separate readers each had an incomplete view:
- `deprovisionExposure` replaces the exposure status with a fresh
`removed` status whose `listeners` array is empty. A later reader asking
"which ports did this row own?" gets no answer, so a stopped row's pair
looked free even while the row was leased.
- Startup reconciliation adopted a persisted service by `row.port`
alone, then terminated the local service when its health check failed.
Under the `project_primary` strategy, where workspaces share a working
directory, the containment check cannot separate two workspaces, so the
sweep could adopt and then kill an unrelated workspace's live service.
- Allocation checked live port availability but never checked which
pairs active leases still reserve.
**Impact**
Two workspaces can collide on one lane. A start can adopt or interfere
with another issue's service, and evidence about an exposure can be
attributed to the wrong workspace.
## What Changed
- Add `server/src/services/runtime-exposure/port-reservation.ts`, one
mediator that decides allocation and ownership from persisted
reservations plus live listener and Serve ownership together.
- Reserve a pair for as long as its execution workspace holds an active
lease, until the lease is explicitly released or torn down.
- Re-derive a row's pair from the `port` column and `deriveViteHmrPort`
instead of the status `listeners` array, so a `removed` status no longer
hides which ports a leased row still reserves.
- Refuse to adopt a process or a Serve mapping across
execution-workspace ids. A mismatch fails closed and names the
conflicting workspace and issue.
- Treat an unattributable holder as a conflict. A Serve mapping that is
present but cannot be attributed means the host has something there that
could not be named, so it fails closed instead of falling through to
"allowed".
- Make reconciliation surface a stopped or removed row whose reserved
ports are live or mapped by another workspace, instead of reporting
success.
- Leave manual and unknown Serve mappings alone on release and teardown.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run --root server src/services/runtime-exposure/
src/__tests__/workspace-runtime-exposure-reservation.test.ts
src/services/workspace-runtime-exposure-backfill.test.ts` — 8 files,
**112 tests pass**.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` — **0 errors** with
`@paperclipai/plugin-sdk` built.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` — migration numbering and
safety checks pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/tailscale-https-broker test` — 87 tests
pass.
The five required regressions are covered by
`workspace-runtime-exposure-reservation.test.ts` and
`port-reservation.test.ts`:
1. Reuse of a stopped-but-leased pair is denied.
2. Cross-execution-workspace process adoption is denied.
3. A Serve mapping ownership mismatch is visible and fails closed.
4. Concurrent allocators return unique pairs.
5. Release and teardown make the pair reusable without harming manual or
unknown mappings.
Note for reviewers:
`server/src/services/workspace-runtime-exposure.test.ts` fails on a
development host that already runs an HTTPS canary holding ports 42000,
42001, 52000, and 52001, because that fixture stubs port availability
and then allocates into the occupied range. It is unaffected by this
change and is expected to pass in CI, where no such listener exists.
Please read the CI result rather than a local run on an exposing host.
## Risks
- The mediator is now the single decision point for allocation and
adoption, so a defect in it affects every managed start. This is
deliberate: the incident happened because the decision was spread across
three readers, and concentrating it is the fix.
- Behavior becomes stricter. A start that previously reused a pair now
fails closed with a named conflict. This is the intended change, and it
can surface pre-existing collisions that used to pass silently.
- The remediation path does not stop an unrelated service that already
holds a pair. It reports the conflict instead, so it cannot disturb
another issue's running lane.
- No migration runs in this pull request.

> - This pull request adds the HTTPS lifecycle and the control-path
hardening that the lifecycle depends on
> - The benefit is that a managed preview becomes reachable from another
device, and a managed control now always reaches a terminal state
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists. The change follows the feature request
template.
**Subsystem affected**
Managed workspace runtime services, workspace operations, the execution
workspace routes, and the workspace runtime UI.
**Problem or motivation**
A managed runtime service is reachable only on loopback, so a preview
cannot be opened from a phone or a second computer. Exposing it safely
needs an exclusively held port pair. Three existing gaps block that.
Overlapping controls can race the same workspace. A control whose owner
dies stays `running` and blocks the lane forever. Port allocation does
not confirm that the process holding a port is the process Paperclip
spawned.
**Proposed solution**
Add the exposure lifecycle on top of the broker from #11524: reserve
before spawn, expose after readiness, validate the public URL, and
remove on stop. In the same change, make managed controls mutually
exclusive per workspace, give each control a durable issue-owned lease
and a terminal state, and verify port ownership before use.
**Alternatives considered**
- Add HTTPS exposure without the control hardening. This was rejected
because a raced or stranded control makes exposure point at the wrong
process.
- Guard the lane with an in-memory lock only. This was rejected because
the lock does not survive a server restart, so the lane can be lost or
double-claimed.
- Trust the requested bind address. This was rejected because a checkout
that predates managed HTTPS overwrites `PAPERCLIP_BIND` from its own
`--bind` argument, and then binds the wildcard address.
**Roadmap alignment**
This completes the managed workspace runtime capability that already
exists. It adds no new product surface beyond the HTTPS link.
**Additional context**
This is the second of three pull requests. The third adds central
mediation of leased port pairs.
## What Changed
Exposure lifecycle:
- Add the server-side broker client and the exposure lifecycle manager.
The manager reserves the mapping before spawn, exposes after backend
readiness, validates the public URL, and removes the mapping on stop.
- Default managed worktree runtimes to `tailscale_https`, read exposure
intent from legacy `expose` blocks, and backfill runtimes that are still
HTTP-only.
- Verify listener ownership for the app port and its Vite HMR companion
before the broker is asked to expose anything. An unrelated listener on
either port fails the start closed.
- Force the loopback bind through argv instead of environment hints.
Leave a non-Paperclip service's `--bind` argument alone.
- Probe loopback for readiness instead of the public URL, and give Vite
HMR its own loopback-bound server in middleware mode.
- Preserve operator-declared Serve mappings across the managed
lifecycle, so cleanup never removes a mapping that Paperclip did not
create.
- Name which listener predicate denied an expose, so an operator can act
on the message.
Control-path hardening:
- Make `start`, `stop`, `restart`, and job `run` mutually exclusive per
execution workspace. An overlap gets `409
workspace_runtime_control_in_progress`, and authorization is still
checked first.
- Take a durable exclusivity lease on the execution workspace, owned by
the controlling issue. A different issue gets `409
workspace_runtime_lease_conflict` before any operation is recorded.
Board and operator actions bypass the lease.
- Give every control a terminal state. Each control stamps its owning
process and pid, heartbeats while it runs, and has a wall-clock ceiling.
Recovery of a stranded control uses a compare-and-swap on `updated_at`,
so a live owner is never stolen.
- Bound readiness probes, verify allocated port ownership on POSIX and
Windows, harden sibling port allocation, and reconcile desired runtimes
on server startup.
- Surface exposure state and bounded runtime errors in the workspace
runtime UI.
- Record the new behavior in `doc/DEVELOPING.md`.
## Verification
Focused checks, all run on this branch:
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` — 139 errors, exactly the
count on `master`. All 139 come from the unbuilt
`@paperclipai/plugin-sdk` package.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — clean.
- Server suites, 177 tests pass across 9 files:
`workspace-runtime.test.ts`, `workspace-runtime-leases.test.ts`,
`workspace-runtime-control-recovery.test.ts`,
`execution-workspace-runtime-control-conflict.test.ts`,
`execution-workspace-runtime-lease-route.test.ts`,
`workspace-operations-reconciliation.test.ts`,
`workspace-runtime-start-terminality.test.ts`, `app-hmr-port.test.ts`,
and `workspace-runtime-ready-comment.test.ts`.
- Exposure unit suites, 77 tests pass: `src/services/runtime-exposure/`
and `workspace-runtime-exposure-backfill.test.ts`.
- UI: `WorkspaceRuntimeControls.test.tsx` and
`WorkspaceServiceControlBar.test.tsx` — 34 tests pass.
**One suite is red on the development host and is expected to be green
in CI.** `server/src/services/workspace-runtime-exposure.test.ts` has 10
failures on the machine used to write this branch. The cause is host
contamination, not the code. That machine already runs an HTTPS canary
that holds ports 42000, 42001, 52000, and 52001 on a tailnet address.
The suite allocates from the same range, so the new listener-ownership
check correctly reports:
```
listener_ownership_mismatch — port 42000 is bound to 100.123.243.20, 127.0.0.1,
fd7a:115c:a1e0:0:0:0:dd3a:f314 ... instead of loopback only
```
A CI runner has no listener on those ports, so the check sees loopback
only and the suite passes. Please confirm this from the CI result on
this pull request rather than from a local run on a host that already
exposes a managed runtime. This is a real weakness of the current test
fixture, and the third pull request in the series removes it by
allocating the pair through a central mediator instead of a stubbed
availability check.
`workspace-runtime-https-live-exercise.test.ts` needs a live `tailscale`
host and was not run locally.
## Risks
- This is the behavior-bearing pull request of the three, so it carries
the most risk.
- Two new `409` responses appear on managed control routes. A caller
that assumed a control always starts must handle a conflict. Board and
operator actions are deliberately exempt, so an agent lease cannot lock
an operator out.
- Managed worktree runtimes now default to `tailscale_https`. If the
host has no working broker, the start fails closed and reports the
exposure failure instead of silently serving plain HTTP. This is
intended, and it is the reason the failure message names the denying
predicate.
- Startup reconciliation touches persisted runtime rows. It is scoped to
desired state and does not resurrect a service that never came up.
- The lease has a 30-minute time to live and explicit release paths, so
a crashed owner cannot hold a lane forever.
- No migration runs in this pull request. The tables and columns land in
#11524.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists. The change follows the feature request
template.
**Subsystem affected**
Managed workspace runtime services, the shared type and validator
package, and the database schema.
**Problem or motivation**
A managed runtime service binds to loopback only. There is no supported
way to reach that preview from another device. Adding HTTPS directly to
the server would mean the server process runs `tailscale serve`, which
needs privileges far wider than the task requires. A compromised or
buggy server could then map any port to the tailnet.
**Proposed solution**
Split the privileged work into a separate broker process with a narrow
protocol, and define one shared contract that the server, the UI, the
runtime, and the broker all read. Land this foundation first, with no
caller, so the privileged code can be reviewed on its own.
**Alternatives considered**
- Call `tailscale serve` from the server process. This was rejected
because it gives the server unrestricted mapping authority.
- Use `sudo` for single `tailscale` commands. This was rejected because
the argument list is the only guard, and it is easy to widen by
accident.
- Use a generic reverse proxy. This was rejected because it does not
remove the need for a privileged Tailscale mapping step.
**Roadmap alignment**
This supports the existing managed workspace runtime capability. It adds
no new product surface on its own.
**Additional context**
The broker is the security boundary of the feature, so it is
deliberately the first slice. Three later pull requests build on it: the
server exposure lifecycle, the runtime lease and recovery integration,
and the leased-port mediator.
## What Changed
- Add the `@paperclipai/tailscale-https-broker` workspace package. The
broker listens on a unix socket, authorizes each peer with
`SO_PEERCRED`, and answers a small request protocol.
- Restrict what the broker will map. It accepts only same-number
HTTPS-to-loopback pairs inside the Paperclip port range, refuses
protected ports, and confirms that the loopback port belongs to a
Paperclip-owned listener.
- Parse every request with a strict JSON reader that rejects duplicate
keys, prototype keys, and unknown fields.
- Write an append-only audit record for each broker decision.
- Add the shared exposure contract in `@paperclipai/shared`: the
`RuntimeExposureConfig`, `RuntimeExposureState`, and
`RuntimeExposureStatus` types, their zod validators, the app and HMR
port rules, and the loopback-bind helpers.
- Persist exposure state on `workspace_runtime_services` with the new
`exposure` column, plus the server-private `exposure_handle` and
`backend_url` columns that are never serialized to API clients.
- Add the `execution_workspace_runtime_leases` table that the later
lease slice uses.
- Extend the runtime read-model test fixture for the three new columns.
## Verification
Focused checks, all run on this branch:
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/tailscale-https-broker test` — 12 files,
82 tests pass. This covers peer credentials, port policy, protected
ports, the serve config writer, the strict JSON reader, argv parsing,
and the socket server.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/tailscale-https-broker typecheck` — clean.
- `npx vitest run --root packages/shared src/runtime-exposure
src/validators/runtime-exposure.test.ts` — 3 files, 40 tests pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` — runs `check:migrations`
first. Migration numbering and migration safety both pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — clean.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — clean.
- `npx vitest run --root server
src/services/workspace-runtime-read-model.test.ts` — 3 tests pass.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` — 139 errors, which is
exactly the count on `master` before this branch. All 139 come from the
unbuilt `@paperclipai/plugin-sdk` package.
To confirm the exposure state is inert, start a managed runtime service
as usual. The new columns stay null and the service behaves as it does
today.
## Risks
- Migration risk is low. Both migrations only add a table and three
nullable columns. No column is backfilled and no existing column
changes. The migration safety check passes.
- Behavior risk is low. No code path calls the broker in this pull
request, and the shared exposure fields are optional.
- The broker is privileged, so it is the real risk surface. It is
mitigated by peer-credential authorization, a fixed port range, a
protected-port deny list, same-number pair enforcement,
listener-ownership checks, strict JSON parsing, and an audit trail.
Reviewers should read
`packages/tailscale-https-broker/src/authorization.ts` and
`src/port-policy.ts` closely.
- The broker requires a `tailscale` version floor, which its README
records. An older host CLI makes the broker refuse to start rather than
map incorrectly.
- `pnpm-lock.yaml` changes because a new workspace package is added. The
diff is the new importer block, plus one duplicate `tinyexec` entry that
pnpm removed.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes: #8087
Refs: #7403
Related PR: #11082 proposes board-only confirmation rules. This change
keeps human-only review as an explicit policy.
**What happened?**
Agents could create issue interactions. Some resolver routes still
required board access.
This left valid agent confirmations pending. Task watchdogs could see
the same problem without board identity.
**Expected behavior**
Every interaction kind must use one resolver policy contract.
The contract must support `anyone`, `not_creator`, and `human_only`. It
must also apply all normal governance controls.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a `request_confirmation` interaction as an agent.
2. Resolve it with another authorized agent.
3. Observe the board-only denial.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The problem exists on `master` before this change.
**Deployment mode**
Local development with `pnpm dev`.
## What Changed
- Add canonical policies for `anyone`, `not_creator`, and `human_only`.
- Use one server evaluator for every interaction kind.
- Apply named addressees, company limits, review rules, and task
watchdog scope.
- Charge cross-issue resolutions to the existing per-run action limit.
- Return the effective resolver audience in attention and interaction
data.
- Show the audience, governance choices, and denial reasons in the board
UI.
- Add telemetry, API documents, product documents, and regression
fixtures.
- Add migration provenance for safe legacy behavior.
- Make migration `0218` safe for complete replays and partial prior
runs.
## Product Rules
- An interaction records a response. It does not grant authority for the
next action.
- `anyone` lets any authorized issue participant respond.
- `not_creator` requires a responder other than the interaction creator.
- `human_only` requires an authorized person.
- A named addressee, company policy, or governed action can narrow the
audience.
- These controls cannot widen the audience.
- A task watchdog uses the same rules as an ordinary agent.
- A task watchdog does not receive board authority.
- An agent resolution on another issue uses the shared cross-issue
action limit.
- Legacy pending interactions keep their earlier restrictions.
- The UI shows the effective audience and a permanent denial reason.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/db/src/issue-thread-interaction-resolver-policy-migration.test.ts`
- The focused PostgreSQL test applies migration `0218` twice.
- The test also completes a partial prior run and preserves existing
provenance.
- The latest GitHub head has 29 successful checks.
- The opt-in Storybook visual check skipped as expected.
- Greptile reports 5/5 with no open comments.
## Risks
- New interaction writes use `anyone` by default.
- Callers must select `not_creator` or `human_only` when they need
stricter review.
- Legacy pending interactions keep the old creator and human
restrictions.
- Migration `0218` fills only missing provenance fields during recovery.
- Cross-issue resolutions can reach the existing action limit.
- The shared evaluator affects every interaction kind.
- Route, service, database, shared contract, and UI tests cover these
rules.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip helps operators supervise agent work through tasks and
task threads.
> - The redesigned task thread shows the current work and its state.
> - A blocked task did not show the dependency that prevented progress.
> - Operators had to leave the thread to find the direct and final
blockers.
> - This pull request adds compact blocker links at the top and bottom
of the task thread.
> - The benefit is that operators can identify and open the relevant
tasks without adding a large notice to the thread.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The redesigned task thread did not show which task directly blocked the
current task or which task ultimately blocked its dependency chain.
**Subsystem affected**
`server/`, `packages/shared/`, and `ui/` task-blocker presentation.
**Current behavior**
A blocked task can open in the redesigned thread without a visible
dependency link at the top or bottom of the conversation.
**Proposed behavior**
Show one compact amber row for the direct blocker. Show a second row for
the selected final blocker when one exists. Render the rows at both ends
of the thread.
**Reason and benefit**
Operators can see the reason for the blocked state and open the relevant
task from the conversation. The compact rows preserve thread density.
**Breaking changes**
None. The new blocker-attention fields are optional. Existing clients
remain compatible.
## What Changed
- Added a compact task-chat component for direct and selected final
blocker links.
- Added the blocker rows to the top and bottom of populated and empty
task threads.
- Added link-ready blocker-attention details so an intermediate selected
task stays on its correct direct chain.
- Included blocker-link changes in the thread content key so pinned
threads follow a newly added bottom row.
- Added component, scrolling, server contract, and Storybook coverage
for the new states.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx
server/src/__tests__/issue-blocker-attention.test.ts` (38 tests passed)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
## Risks
- Low risk. The rows only render while the task status is `blocked` and
an unresolved blocker is available.
- Long titles are truncated to keep each blocker on one line. The full
task label remains available in the link title.
- Older server payloads keep the original leaf-selection behavior
because the new sampled details are optional.

## Thinking Path

work
> - The adapter runtime starts, turns, settles, and composes ACPX runs

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The ACPX adapter runtime and server heartbeat lifecycle need stable
regression coverage for their current corrected behavior.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (multiple of the above): `packages/adapter-utils` and
`server` test suites.
**Current behavior**
The runtime has corrected rules for startup, turns, settlement, composed
results, and heartbeat terminalization. The repository lacks a single
characterization baseline for these rules.
**Proposed behavior**
Keep the current lifecycle rules pinned by five test suites. Let the
later engine refactor change behavior only when it updates these tests
with a clear reason.
**Reason and benefit**
The suites expose order, cleanup, transport, timeout, retry, result, and
lease-release changes during the refactor. They also record one known
latent defect as current behavior.
**Breaking changes**
None. This pull request adds tests only.
## What Changed
- Add startup characterization coverage for commands, launch values,
session fingerprints, sync order, bridge overlap, and cleanup paths.
- Add turn characterization coverage for inputs, events, transports,
timeout and cancel behavior, retry rules, errors, and usage.
- Add settlement characterization coverage for teardown, adapter
sync-back, workspace restore order, native sync, and error policy.
- Add composed-run characterization coverage for result forms,
finalization sets, and host-lane warm save and warm hit behavior.
- Add server coverage that checks run terminalization before environment
lease release.
## Verification
- Run `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/startup-characterization.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/turn-characterization.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/settlement-characterization.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/composed-run-characterization.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts`.
- Run `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-run-terminalize-before-release.test.ts`.
- The adapter-utils run passes 178 tests, and the server run passes 4
tests.
- Check `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck`.
- Check `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`.
## Risks
Low risk. The change adds test files and does not change production
code. One known cold ensure-session cleanup defect remains pinned as
current behavior.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, with tool use and code execution.

## Thinking Path

work.
> - Agent adapters run ACP sessions and manage runtime, workspace, and
lease resources.
> - Several failure paths left runtime bridges, staged workspaces, or
environment leases active after an error.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
ACP runs could leave runtime bridges, staged workspaces, or environment
leases active after failures. Claude and Gemini ACP runs did not restore
the sandbox workspace on teardown. Lease release stopped when one lease
returned an error.
**Expected behavior**
Each ACP failure must return an error result and settle its resources.
Teardown must run each step, release leases independently, and restore
the host workspace when the sandbox ends. Pending cleanup leases must
receive bounded retry attempts.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run an ACP session that fails after runtime creation or during turn
preparation.
2. Run an ACP session that fails during a warm hit or staged runtime
handoff.
3. Run lease cleanup with more than one lease when the first release
returns an error.
4. Inspect the result phase, teardown calls, workspace state, and lease
metadata.
5. Run the regression suites listed in the Verification section.
## What Changed
- Settle every ACP failure after runtime creation with an error result
and one sandbox.startup span closure.
- Close the ACP runtime and remove warm entries after every pre-turn
failure.
- Run all teardown steps, record teardown errors, release staging leases
in finally, and prevent duplicate teardown.
- Dispose staged runtimes after seam failures and remove borrowed staged
entries with identity guards.
- Add fail-open workspace sync-back teardown for Claude and Gemini ACP
adapters.
- Isolate lease release errors and add bounded retry sweeps for stranded
pending_cleanup leases.
- Atomically claim pending_cleanup retries and clamp attempt readers to
keep the five-attempt bound.
- Default absent provider reusableLeases values to false and align the
fake provider with its runtime declaration.
- Add regression tests for engine, adapter, server, and shared
environment behavior.

## Risks
The engine changes affect failure settlement and teardown order across
ACP runs. The server changes add retry state to existing lease metadata
without a schema migration. The adapter changes restore workspaces after
sandbox execution. Regression tests cover the changed paths. GitHub CI
and Greptile passed for the current head.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandbox provider plugins run agent work in remote execution
environments
> - The Daytona sandbox liveness read can stay pending when the
connection stops responding
> - A pending read blocks the plugin until a broad host-to-worker limit

and clears stale handles
> - The benefit is a fast and clear error when a Daytona connection
stops responding
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11341
**What happened?**
The Daytona sandbox liveness read had no per-call timeout. A silent
connection failure left the read pending until the broad host-to-worker
RPC limit expired.
**Expected behavior**
The plugin should stop a liveness call within a defined limit and report
a clear timeout error.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a Daytona sandbox handle.
2. Make the cached handle freshness read never resolve.
3. Run the next sandbox operation.
4. Observe that the operation waits for the outer RPC limit without a
liveness timeout.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` before this change.
**Deployment mode**
Any deployment mode that uses the Daytona sandbox provider.
## What Changed
- Add `withLivenessTimeout` with timer cleanup and
`SandboxLivenessTimeoutError`.
- Bound `refreshData` with configurable `livenessTimeoutMs`, which
defaults to 30000 milliseconds.
- Bound sandbox start and recovery calls with the SDK timeout plus a
5000 millisecond margin.
- Reject `livenessTimeoutMs` values above 86400000 milliseconds and
document the setting.
- Evict a cached handle after a failed freshness refresh so the next
operation fetches a new handle.
- Add a test for a never-resolving freshness refresh and the
cached-handle eviction.
## Verification
- Run the Daytona plugin test suite with its package Vitest
configuration.
- Confirm that 150 of 150 tests pass.
- Confirm that the new test reports a bounded timeout and a fresh handle
on the next operation.
- Confirm that GitHub Actions reports green status checks after the pull
request starts.
## Risks
This change adds an early timeout only to Daytona liveness calls. A
value of 0 or less disables the extra bound. The default leaves normal
SDK calls within their expected time limit. The main risk is a timeout
value that is too short for a slow but healthy connection.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5. The model used tool calls and code execution. The
model supplied the PR handoff and did not author the code in this pull
request.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This pull request fixes a command-injection-class defect in Paperclip
CLI guidance.
**What happened?**
The `pnpm paperclipai <sub> --flag "$VALUE"` form can re-parse argument
values through a shell. A command substitution inside a quoted value can
execute on the host.
**Expected behavior**
Paperclip guidance must pass CLI values as inert argument values.
Host-derived values must not appear in copyable commands.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a Paperclip guidance command that uses the `pnpm paperclipai`
script.
2. Provide a quoted value that contains a command substitution.
3. Observe that the shell can evaluate the substitution before the CLI
starts.
4. Compare the result with the `npx paperclipai` form.
**Paperclip version or commit**

**Deployment mode**
All deployment modes that show or use the affected CLI guidance.
**Installation method**
Built from source and installed CLI guidance.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core bug).
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Access context**
Both.
**Additional context**
The earlier merged PR
[#11343](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/11343) used the
unsafe `pnpm exec paperclipai` form. This fresh PR replaces that
guidance with the safe `npx paperclipai` form.
## What Changed
- Standardize documentation and runtime hints on `npx paperclipai`.
- Remove the broken `pnpm exec paperclipai` guidance.
- Use a static `<host>` placeholder in private-hostname guidance.
- Add regression tests for unsafe forms, continued lines, static hosts,
and offline guidance.
## Verification
- `git diff --check
origin/master...origin/fix/paperclipai-cli-npx-safe-invocation` passes.
- The branch adds `server/src/__tests__/cli-invocation-safety.test.ts`
and updates private-hostname tests.
- CI must run the new tests, typecheck, lint, and build checks.
- Local Vitest execution was not available because this worktree has no
installed Vitest binary.
## Risks
- The change affects operator and agent documentation text.
- The runtime hints now show `<host>` instead of a request-derived host
value.
- No database schema or migration changes exist.
- CI will detect any missed unsafe invocation or type error.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5, exact model ID `gpt-5`, with tool use and code-review
assistance. The model used repository inspection, Git operations, and PR
preparation.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The recovery subsystem repairs issues stranded without a valid
disposition: `decideSuccessfulRunHandoff` queues one corrective wake per
successful-but-dispositionless run, and `source_scoped_recovery_action`
wakes a recovery owner for stranded issues
> - `decideSuccessfulRunHandoff` already refuses to treat corrective
handoff runs, issue-monitor runs, and comment-driven wakes as handoff
*sources* — but not runs woken by `source_scoped_recovery_action`
> - Because the handoff idempotency key includes `sourceRunId`, every
succeeding recovery run is a brand-new source: recovery run → handoff
wake → corrective run → new recovery action → recovery run → … with
`DEFAULT_MAX_SUCCESSFUL_RUN_HANDOFF_ATTEMPTS` never binding (it is
per-source-run) and the source-scoped recovery action created with
`maxAttempts: null`
> - The cycle is unbounded, each leg is a ~15s no-op "succeeded" run,
and the designed handoff-exhausted escalation (blocked + exhausted
notice) never engages
> - This PR adds recovery-action-driven runs to the existing skip list,
so recovery runs own their own follow-up path and the stranded-issue
escalation remains the exit when the disposition is still missing
> - The benefit is that missing-disposition recovery converges (one
handoff, then escalation) instead of ping-ponging wake volume
unboundedly
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #6523 — same wake-loop family (repeated
`source_scoped_recovery_action` wakes); this PR fixes the variant where
the loop partner is the successful-run handoff.
**Observed behavior:** in a 16-agent deployment, one agent produced 223
runs in 2 hours, every run `succeeded` with ~15s duration, with
`contextSnapshot.wakeReason` alternating exactly between
`source_scoped_recovery_action` (109) and
`finish_successful_run_handoff` (108). The source issue never reached
the exhausted escalation.
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/recovery/successful-run-handoff.ts`: new
`isRecoveryActionDrivenRun` predicate (matches
`contextSnapshot.wakeReason === "source_scoped_recovery_action"` or a
present `contextSnapshot.recoveryActionId`), consulted in
`decideSuccessfulRunHandoff` alongside the existing corrective-handoff /
issue-monitor / comment-driven skip guards.
- `server/src/services/recovery/successful-run-handoff.test.ts`: cases
asserting recovery-driven runs are skipped via both markers.
## Verification
- `pnpm -F @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/recovery/successful-run-handoff.test.ts` → 17 passed (16
existing unchanged + 1 new).
- Production validation (same logic deployed as a dist patch on
2026.626.0): the alternating recovery/handoff wake pattern stopped after
restart; ordinary successful-run handoffs (first corrective wake per
genuine source run) continue to queue.
## Risks
Low-to-moderate, scoped to one decision function. The behavioral shift:
a recovery-action run that succeeds without fixing the disposition no
longer gets a corrective handoff wake — instead the stranded-issue
detector escalates (blocked + recovery owner + exhausted notice), which
per the existing `escalateStrandedAssignedIssue` code is the designed
terminal path. Runs not woken by a recovery action are unaffected
(covered by the existing 16 tests, all green).

verdict on it

refuses, and get a 403

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this change. The description below
follows
`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/enhancement.yml`.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The issue review flow. A reviewer cannot see the approval constraint on
an issue
before they give a verdict.
**Subsystem affected**
Web UI (`ui/`), with one supporting change in the server attention
service.
**Current behavior**
The server stores an optional approval constraint for each issue in a
`reviewPolicy` column. The column has three meaningful states: the
default
(`NULL` or `anyone`), `not_creator`, and `human_only`. The server
enforces the
constraint when it receives a verdict.
No screen shows the value. Two problems follow:
1. A reviewer presses Approve on a review that the server refuses. The
server
answers 403, and the reason is not visible on the card.
2. An agent that accepts or rejects a review renders in the activity
timeline as
the raw action id, for example "issue thread interaction accepted". A
person
who reads the timeline cannot tell that a verdict was given.
**Proposed behavior**
Show the constraint as a read-only badge on the two surfaces where a
person
gives a verdict. Show no pixels for the default state, because the
default is
what every issue already does. Make an agent verdict read as a verdict
in the
timeline.
Only agents set the column today, so this change adds no control to set
it.
**Reason and benefit**
A reviewer sees the constraint before they act. This prevents the 403,
and it
removes the need to explain the 403 afterwards. The timeline also
becomes
complete, because it now shows agent verdicts and human verdicts in the
same way.
**Breaking changes**
None. The change adds a badge and changes copy. It adds no column, no
endpoint,
and no request.
**Additional context**
The server-side column and the verdict enforcement landed earlier in
#10931.
This pull request is the user interface for that column. The default
state stays
unchanged on screen, so the badge appears on a small number of issues.
## What Changed
- **A read-only "Approvals" row** in the issue Execution properties. The
row
renders *only* for a constrained policy: "Anyone else" (`not_creator`)
or
"Human only" (`human_only`). A `NULL` or `anyone` column adds no row, so
the
panel is untouched on the overwhelming majority of issues.
- **The same badge on the stalled-review card** in `/decisions`, above
the three
review verbs. A reviewer now sees the constraint before they press
Approve.
The condition is the same, so the default card is unchanged.
- **Agent verdicts read as verdicts in the activity timeline.** An agent
that
accepted or rejected a review request previously rendered the raw action
id
("issue thread interaction accepted"). It now reads "approved the
request". A
stalled-review decision names the verb that the actor chose.
- **A cleared policy reports as "anyone", not "none",** in the
field-change
receipt. The `reviewPolicy` column is nullable by default, so an absent
value
is a real setting rather than a missing one.
- **All copy comes from `ui/src/lib/review-policy.ts`.** Its badge
lookup returns
`null` for the default. This makes "no pixels for the default" one
enforced
decision instead of a condition repeated at each call site. It also
keeps the
badge, the activity line, and the receipt reading alike.
- **The server attention service carries the policy** on the review
attention
subject, so the stalled-review card can read it.
## Verification
Automated tests:
- `ui/src/lib/review-policy.test.ts` — the default returns no badge,
however the
column spells it (`null`, `undefined`, `"anyone"`). An unrecognised
policy from
the wire shows nothing rather than leaking an enum value.
- `ui/src/components/AttentionQueueRow.test.tsx` — no badge on the
default card,
and the verbs still render. Suppression of the badge must not suppress
the card.
- `ui/src/components/IssueProperties.test.tsx` — no Approvals row on the
default.
The constrained row contains no `button`, so nothing there can PATCH.
- `server/src/__tests__/attention-service.test.ts` — the review
attention subject
carries the policy, and subjects built from narrower selects do not
claim one.
Run them with:
```sh
pnpm vitest run ui/src/lib/review-policy.test.ts \
ui/src/components/AttentionQueueRow.test.tsx \
ui/src/components/IssueProperties.test.tsx \
server/src/__tests__/attention-service.test.ts
```
Manual steps:
1. Open an issue that has no `reviewPolicy`. Confirm that the Execution
properties panel shows no Approvals row.
2. Set the column to `not_creator`. Reload the issue. Confirm that the
Approvals
row reads "Anyone else", and that the row has no control.
3. Move that issue into review. Open `/decisions`. Confirm that the
stalled
review card shows the same badge above the review verbs.
4. Let an agent approve the review. Confirm that the activity timeline
reads
"approved the request" and not "issue thread interaction accepted".
Screenshots were captured at 1440x900 and 390x844, in light mode and
dark mode,
with the three policy states side by side. The leftmost column in each
capture is
the default. It carries no badge and no extra row.
## Risks
Low risk.
- The change is additive on screen. Every new surface is behind a
constrained
policy, so the default path renders exactly as before.
- The badge is read-only. It has no control and sends no request, and a
test
asserts that the row contains no `button`.
- An unknown policy value from the wire renders nothing. It does not
render the
raw enum.
- No migration, no schema change, and no endpoint change.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Execution workspaces give agent tasks isolated Git worktrees
> - Archived isolated workspaces must reopen against a live project
checkout
> - A managed_checkout project has no project workspace directory in its
row
> - The reopen path used the removed archived worktree as the Git
working directory
> - This pull request resolves the live managed checkout and reports a
clear error when it is unavailable
> - The benefit is reliable workspace reopen behavior after archive
cleanup
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related public pull request:
[#6164](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/6164) clears
archive state during un-archive. This pull request fixes the separate
reopen failure that occurs after archive cleanup.
**What happened?**
An archived isolated `git_worktree` workspace under a `managed_checkout`
project failed to reopen after cleanup. The route attempted to run Git
in the removed archived worktree and returned a generic service error.
**Expected behavior**
The reopen path should use the live managed checkout as the Git base
directory and should return a clear error when that directory is
unavailable.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a project with `managed_checkout` source control.
2. Create and archive an isolated `git_worktree` execution workspace.
3. Let archive cleanup remove the worktree.
4. Reopen the workspace for an issue.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`cab0c31dc61310106caef42ca244e9f7b0f19460`
**Deployment mode**
Local dev with the default embedded database.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific. This issue affects core workspace handling.
## What Changed
- Resolve the live managed checkout when a managed project reopens an
archived Git worktree.
- Keep local-folder projects on their project workspace directory.
- Validate the Git base directory before `git rev-parse` and return a
scrubbed error.
- Add nine regression tests for workspace reopen behavior.
## Verification
- `server` TypeScript check passes with `tsc --noEmit`.
- `server/src/__tests__/execution-workspace-reopen.test.ts` passes with
9 tests.
- GitHub Actions must pass all required PR checks.
## Risks
Low risk. The change affects only archived isolated workspace reopen
behavior. It reuses the existing managed checkout and Git authentication
helpers. It adds no new credential path, endpoint, or telemetry.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 assisted with review and GitHub operations. The
implementation author supplied the code and test results.

Fixes#2444.
Refs #4947.
The `claude_local` adapter launched Claude Code as
`claude --print - --output-format stream-json --verbose`. Paperclip writes
the rendered task prompt to Claude's stdin, but current Claude Code releases
can treat the stale `-` positional marker as the prompt itself, so Claude
received the literal string `"-"` instead of the issue body. The customer's
task ran against no content at all.
The fix keeps `--print` mode and stdin delivery, and removes the stale `-`.
Adds regression coverage on both sides of the delivery path: a `claude_local`
assertion that `--print` is present, `"-"` is absent and the prompt still
reaches stdin, and an adapter-utils case proving the sandbox run-log command
wrapper preserves stdin while streaming logs.
Authored by @elJayAdvisor, whose commit is included unchanged with their
authorship. The branch had gone stale and was showing CONFLICTING; the
conflict was in `execution-target-sandbox.test.ts`, where their new test was
added at the same point as master's `creates the process session directories
only in the launch exec` case and git interleaved the two into one hunk.
Resolved by taking master's file and re-inserting their test whole, after
checking every helper it needs still exists there.
Verified: the bug was still live on master at `execute.ts:838`; the
regression test genuinely catches it — restoring the stale `-` fails
`expect(captured.argv).not.toContain("-")`; `@paperclipai/adapter-claude-local`
and `@paperclipai/adapter-utils` typecheck clean; 67 pass across the two test
files. All CI gates green; Greptile 5/5.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip provides CLI guidance to agents and operators through
documentation and runtime messages.
> - Content-bearing `pnpm paperclipai` examples send arguments through a
shell.
> - Shell evaluation can execute command substitutions in untrusted
argument content.
> - Runtime hostname guidance can also place request-derived content
inside a shell command.
> - This pull request uses `npx paperclipai` for content-bearing
guidance and uses a static hostname placeholder.
> - The benefit is safer copy-paste guidance for agents and operators.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Issue type**
Incorrect information
**Where is the issue?**
CLI guidance in `doc/CLI.md`, `skills/paperclip/SKILL.md`,
documentation, and runtime-generated hints.
**What's wrong?**
Content-bearing `pnpm paperclipai` commands can pass argument text
through `/bin/sh`. Shell command substitution in an argument can execute
before the CLI receives the value.
**Suggested fix**
Use `npx paperclipai` for content-bearing commands. Use a static
`<host>` placeholder when runtime guidance displays the allowed-hostname
command.
## What Changed
- Replace content-bearing `pnpm paperclipai` examples with `npx
paperclipai` across the documentation and agent-facing guidance.
- Update runtime-generated CLI hints to use a static `<host>`
placeholder.
- Add safety notes to `doc/CLI.md` and `skills/paperclip/SKILL.md`.
- Add scans and regression tests for unsafe invocation and hostile
hostname headers.
- Keep fixed lifecycle commands and `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/*` build
commands unchanged.
## Verification
- Run `tsc --noEmit` for the changed server files.
- Run `cli-invocation-safety.test.ts`.
- Run `private-hostname-guard.test.ts`.
- Confirm that hostile hostname headers do not enter shown shell
commands.
- Confirm that the three commits contain the required Paperclip
co-author trailer.
## Risks
- This change updates documentation and diagnostic text across many
surfaces.
- Fixed lifecycle and setup commands remain unchanged.
- The tests fail if content-bearing `pnpm paperclipai` guidance returns.
- The change does not alter the CLI argument parser.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use, code execution, and repository review
assistance.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The tool gateway creates approval requests and the review queue
reads them
> - The gateway creates a request row before it adds the signature
> - A review-queue read can see the row during that short unsigned state

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A review-queue read cancelled a pending tool action request when the
request had no signature yet. The next approval call returned `409
action_not_pending`.
**Expected behavior**
The review queue must hide an unsigned in-flight request and keep its
state as `pending`. A request with an invalid signature must remain
cancelled.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a require-approval tool action request.
2. Read the review queue while the request signature is still null.
3. Approve the request after the creator adds the signature.
4. Observe that the old code cancels the request and the approval call
fails.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit `720aa0a494bbaa1711bc7a3d795f810765915bfe`.
**Deployment mode**
Local dev with the embedded PGlite database.
**Installation method**
Built from source with pnpm.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific. This is a core tool access service bug.
**Database mode**
Embedded PGlite.
**Access context**
Board and agent tool approval flow.
## What Changed
- Keep a pending request with a null signature out of
`listActionRequests` results.
- Cancel a request when its non-null signature fails verification.
- Add a permanent regression test for the unsigned request transition.
- Update the contract test for unsigned and invalid-signature requests.
## Verification
- Run the tool access service, tool gateway service, tool gateway, and
tool access policy service tests.
- Confirm 227 tests pass.
- Run the `@mcp-runnable` Playwright end-to-end suite in CI.
- Run the US-9 loop 30 times in CI.
## Risks
The change alters review-queue filtering for unsigned requests. A null
signature now means that signing remains in progress. Invalid signed
requests keep the existing cancellation behavior. The change has no
database migration.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, with tool use and code execution. The model
reviewed the handoff, repository rules, and pull request state. The
implementation author supplied the code and tests.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents can be configured with env bindings that reference company
secrets — they specify which secret by UUID in `adapterConfig.env`
> - But there is no API endpoint agents can call to look up a secret
UUID by name — `GET /companies/:companyId/secrets` is board-only, and
the internal `secrets.resolve` handler only accepts UUIDs
> - So when an agent needs to wire a new secret (e.g. an API key for a
new skill), it has no way to discover the UUID from a known name like
`HOMEBOX_API_KEY` — the user must find it by inspecting browser network
traffic
> - The fix is a read-only catalog endpoint that agents can call to get
the `id`/`name`/`key`/`status` mapping — no values, no provider config —
just enough to resolve a name to a UUID
> - This PR adds `GET /companies/:companyId/secrets/catalog`, guarded by
`assertBoardOrAgent` + `assertCompanyAccess`, so agents can discover the
UUID they need without board-level access and without any secret value
being exposed
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No pre-existing public issue. Describing inline per the feature request
template:
**Subsystem affected:** `server/` — REST API & orchestration services
**Problem or motivation:**
Agents that configure env bindings must reference secrets by UUID
(`secretId`). There is no agent-accessible API to resolve a secret name
to its UUID. `GET /companies/:companyId/secrets` requires board access;
the internal `secrets.resolve` handler rejects anything that is not
already a UUID. Agents and their operators are forced to find UUIDs by
inspecting browser network requests, which is friction that should not
exist.
**Proposed solution:**
Add a read-only catalog endpoint — `GET
/companies/:companyId/secrets/catalog` — that agents can call. It
returns only non-sensitive metadata (`id`, `name`, `key`, `status`) for
each active company secret, stripped of values, provider configuration,
and version history. Board callers get the same response. The existing
full-detail list endpoint (`GET /companies/:companyId/secrets`) remains
board-only and is unchanged.
**Alternatives considered:**
- Allow agents to call the existing `/secrets` list — rejected because
it returns full rows including provider metadata; narrowing the response
is safer.
- Add a name-to-UUID lookup by query param — simpler but less useful; a
full catalog means the agent can do the resolution locally without a
second round-trip.
**Roadmap alignment:** Does not duplicate anything in `ROADMAP.md`.
## What Changed
- `server/src/routes/secrets.ts` — new `GET
/companies/:companyId/secrets/catalog` route registered before the
board-only `GET /companies/:companyId/secrets` route. Uses
`assertBoardOrAgent` + `assertCompanyAccess`. Calls `svc.list()` then
projects each row to `{ id, name, key, status }` before responding.
- `server/src/__tests__/secrets-routes.test.ts` — adds `list` to the
shared mock service object (it was missing); adds a `describe` block
with four test cases: board caller receives stripped metadata, agent
caller in the same company receives stripped metadata, unauthenticated
request gets 401, agent from a different company gets 403.
## Verification
**Automated:**
```bash
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server test --run secrets-routes
```
All four new test cases (board access, agent access, unauthed rejection,
cross-company rejection) should pass.
**Manual:**
1. Start the Paperclip server locally.
2. Create a company and a secret via the UI.
3. Call the endpoint as a board user:
```bash
curl http://localhost:3100/api/companies/<companyId>/secrets/catalog \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <board-session-token>"
```
Expect a JSON array with `id`, `name`, `key`, `status` fields — no
`provider`, no `referenceCount`, no version data.
4. Call the same endpoint with an agent API key:
```bash
curl http://localhost:3100/api/companies/<companyId>/secrets/catalog \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <agent-api-key>"
```
Expect the same response.
5. Call with an agent API key scoped to a *different* company — expect
403.
## Risks
Low risk. This is a purely additive, read-only endpoint. No existing
behavior changes. The only new capability is that agents can discover
the UUIDs of secrets in their own company — metadata they already need
to do their job. Secret values are never returned. Authorization reuses
the existing `assertBoardOrAgent` and `assertCompanyAccess` guards
already used throughout the codebase.
## Model Used
Claude Sonnet 4.6 (`claude-sonnet-4-6`) — Anthropic, extended context,
tool use enabled. The entire change (route, tests, PR description) was
produced by the model operating as a Paperclip CEO agent assigned to the
task.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Reviewers annotate plans and issue documents with inline comments,
and assigned agents act on that feedback
> - The server already builds a bounded review context from open plan
annotations and includes it in agent wake payloads
> - Non-plan issue documents did not get the same treatment: their open
annotation threads never reached the agent, and the properties pane did
not surface their annotations
> - This pull request extends the review-context path and the
properties-pane UI to issue documents, at parity with plans
> - The benefit is that agent feedback on any issue document reaches the
assigned agent, not only feedback on the plan
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The review-context pipeline that delivers inline annotation feedback to
assigned agents, and the properties pane that surfaces those annotations
to reviewers.
**Subsystem affected**
The server review-context path
(`server/src/services/plan-review-context.ts`, wake payload assembly in
`server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`, `server/src/routes/issues.ts`),
shared wake-payload types (`packages/shared`, `packages/adapter-utils`),
and the issue properties pane (`ui/src/components/issue-properties/`).
**Current behavior**
A reviewer can annotate any issue document, not only the plan. The agent
wake payload includes open annotation threads for the plan document
only. Feedback left on other issue documents is invisible to the
assigned agent. In the properties pane, the Artifacts tab also gives no
way to see or open a document's annotations.
**Proposed behavior**
Add `buildDocumentReviewContext` beside the existing plan builder. It
collects open annotation threads for all non-plan issue documents,
applies the same thread, comment, and character budgets across
documents, and reports truncation. Include the result as a new
`documentReviewContext` field in agent wake payloads and in the issue
wake-context route. Keep the plan context on its legacy builder and
field so plan-only wakes stay byte-for-byte compatible. Render the new
context in the adapter wake-payload text, and surface annotation counts
and the annotation panel for documents in the properties pane's Plans
and Artifacts tabs.
**Reason and benefit**
The floating annotation popover and persistent highlight UI landed
earlier; this change completes the loop so agent feedback on any issue
document reaches the assigned agent, not only feedback on the plan.
**Breaking changes**
None. The wake payload gains a new optional `documentReviewContext`
field; the existing plan context field and its legacy builder are
unchanged, so plan-only wakes stay byte-for-byte compatible.
## What Changed
- Add `buildDocumentReviewContext` in
`server/src/services/plan-review-context.ts`: bounded review context
(shared thread/comment/character budgets, per-document legacy limits)
over all non-plan issue documents
- Include `documentReviewContext` in agent wake payloads
(`server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`) and in the issue wake-context
response (`server/src/routes/issues.ts`)
- Add shared `DocumentReviewContext` / `DocumentReviewContextDocument`
types in `packages/shared`
- Normalize and render the new context in adapter wake-payload text
(`packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.ts`), with tests
- Show a `DocumentAnnotationsCountChip` and the annotation panel for
documents in the properties pane Plans and Artifacts tabs, with tests
- Extend server document-annotations service tests to cover the new
context builder
## Verification
- Run `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/document-annotations-service.test.ts` from the repo
root — 104 tests pass
- Run `TZ=UTC npx vitest run
ui/src/components/issue-properties/IssuePropertiesDocumentAnnotations.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssueProperties.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssueDocumentAnnotations.test.tsx
ui/src/components/DocumentAnnotationPopover.test.tsx` from the repo root
— 75 tests pass (one pre-existing monitor-row case asserts UTC
timestamps, so use `TZ=UTC` locally; CI runs in UTC)
- `pnpm run typecheck` in `server/` passes
- Manual: annotate a non-plan issue document, then wake the assigned
agent with a comment — the wake payload lists the open document
annotation threads; the Artifacts tab shows the annotation count chip
and opens the panel
## Risks
- The wake payload gains a new optional `documentReviewContext` field;
consumers that ignore unknown fields are unaffected, and the plan
context field is unchanged
- The context is new input to agent wakes; shared budgets (same limits
as the plan context) bound token cost across all documents
- Low UI risk: the properties-pane changes reuse the existing annotation
components

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server provides issue APIs and the database stores issue child
rows
> - The issue delete endpoint removes the parent issue before dependent
rows
> - Several issue foreign keys had no delete policy, so PostgreSQL
returned a foreign-key error
> - This pull request adds safe cascade and set-null policies and a
clear conflict response
> - The benefit is reliable issue deletion with a useful error when a
restricted audit row still blocks deletion
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#7728Fixes#4660Fixes#7991Fixes#4627Fixes#5086
**What happened?**
`DELETE /api/issues/:id` returned HTTP 500 when dependent comments,
thread interactions, read states, inbox archives, feedback votes, or
ledger rows referenced the issue. The database raised SQLSTATE 23503
because several foreign keys had no delete policy.
**Expected behavior**
The endpoint must remove dependent rows that have no meaning without the
issue. It must keep ledger rows with a null issue reference. It must
return HTTP 409 when a restricted decision audit row still references
the issue.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create an issue.
2. Add a comment or thread interaction that references the issue.
3. Send `DELETE /api/issues/:id`.
4. Observe the HTTP 500 response.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit `1f8f456f8340823fe2bd891ae8933d942f190b7b`.
**Deployment mode**
Local dev with embedded PGlite or external PostgreSQL.
## What Changed
- Add `CASCADE` to five issue child foreign keys.
- Add `SET NULL` to the finance and cost event issue foreign keys.
- Keep decision audit references restricted.
- Map SQLSTATE 23503 from the issue delete service to HTTP 409.
- Add migration 0217 for the seven changed tables.
- Add regression tests for cascade deletion and restricted decision
references.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`.
- Run `npx vitest run src/__tests__/issue-remove-cascade.test.ts` from
`server/`.
- The regression test applies migration 0217 to a fresh embedded
PostgreSQL database.
## Risks
- Migration 0217 changes only seven foreign keys that reference
`issues.id`.
- Cascade deletion removes child rows that cannot exist without the
parent issue.
- Set-null preserves finance and cost ledger rows.
- Decision audit rows remain protected, so the endpoint can return HTTP
409.
## Model Used
Codex, based on GPT-5, with tool use and code-review support. The
implementation author used an AI coding agent. This PR handoff uses the
same model family to validate the commit and manage the pull request.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Board users and board API keys coordinate agents by commenting on
and updating issues.
> - `issue:comment` and `issue:mutate` are intentionally null-mapped
authorization actions, so they need explicit same-company fallback
handling.
> - Same-company board-key writes worked for unassigned or same-actor
issues but failed for issues assigned to another agent.
> - That blocked cross-agent coordination because a board key could not
comment on or patch another agent's issue even inside the same company.
> - This pull request adds the missing board-member issue-write fallback
while keeping viewers denied and sparse service calls fail-closed.
> - The benefit is that non-viewer board members can coordinate agent
work across assignees without restoring broad instance-admin elevation.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists. Duplicate search performed:
- `gh search prs --repo paperclipai/paperclip "board key issue mutate"`
returned only this PR.
- `gh search issues --repo paperclipai/paperclip "board key
authorization boundary"` returned no issues.
Bug description:
### What happened
Same-company board-key actors received `403 "Issue is outside this
actor's authorization boundary"` when posting comments or patching
issues assigned to another agent.
### Expected behavior
Active same-company non-viewer board members can comment on and mutate
issues in their company, regardless of agent assignee; viewer members
remain denied.
### Steps to reproduce
Authenticate as a board API key for an active non-viewer company member,
then `POST /api/issues/{id}/comments` or `PATCH /api/issues/{id}`
against an issue assigned to a different agent in the same company.
### Paperclip version or commit
Observed against the current published 2026.626.0 package line and fixed
against current `master`.
### Deployment mode
Authenticated/tailnet board-key access.
## What Changed
- Added a board-actor fallback for `issue:comment` and `issue:mutate` in
`server/src/services/authorization.ts`.
- Restricted that fallback to fully contextualized issue resources with
issue id, status, and explicit assignee fields so sparse service calls
still fail closed.
- Allowed active same-company non-viewer board memberships and denied
viewer memberships for these issue-write actions.
- Added regression coverage for non-viewer board-key comment/mutate on
an issue assigned to another agent.
- Added regression coverage for viewer denial on both `issue:comment`
and `issue:mutate`.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/authorization-service.test.ts` passed: 35/35.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passed.
- `git diff --check` passed.
## Risks
Low-to-moderate authorization risk because this changes issue-write
access. The scope is constrained to active same-company board
memberships, excludes viewers, and requires route-shaped issue context
before granting access. Cross-company access and sparse/null-mapped
calls continue to fail closed.

<li><strong>client-marketplace-discovery:</strong> GetOfferTerms now
returns netPaymentTerm in offerTerms, specifying payment due period
after invoice date. The paymentDuePeriod field uses ISO 8601 duration
format (e.g., "P30D" for net 30 days). This is a
backward-compatible addition. See API documentation for full structure
and examples. (<a
href="f4fd7ae7b8">f4fd7ae7</a>)</li>

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The issue update route is part of the workflow layer that records
board state changes and emits follow-up wakes for agents.
> - A single `PATCH /api/issues/:id` request can both close an issue and
add the closure comment that explains the final disposition.
> - The bug was that the comment-wakeup decision used the issue's
pre-update status, so a request that changed `in_progress` to `done`
could still enqueue an `issue_commented` wake as if the issue remained
open.
> - That stale wake could cause already-completed Sentry-family
follow-up issues to drift back into active work even though the closure
comment was the only new activity.
> - This pull request makes the wake suppression decision use the
post-update issue status and covers the closure-comment path with a
focused regression test.
> - The benefit is that terminal issue updates stay terminal unless a
separate explicit reopen or resume path is used.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this instance-specific workflow bug,
so the issue is described inline.
Bug report:
- What happened: when an issue was marked `done` with a closure comment
in the same `PATCH /api/issues/:id` request, the route could still
enqueue an `issue_commented` wake because it checked the pre-update
status.
- Expected behavior: a closure comment written as part of the terminal
update should not wake the assignee again or clear the terminal
disposition.
- Steps to reproduce: start with an assigned issue in `in_progress`,
patch it to `done` while including a comment, then inspect whether an
`issue_commented` wake is emitted for the assignee.
- Deployment mode: local Paperclip workflow/API behavior.
- Related public PRs found during duplicate search: #6657 appears to
address a broader stale closeout-comment reopen path; this PR is
narrower and targets the same-request post-update status decision in
`PATCH /api/issues/:id`.
## What Changed
- Use the post-update issue status when deciding whether a PATCH comment
should enqueue an `issue_commented` wake.
- Add a regression test covering `in_progress` to `done` with a closure
comment so the assignee is not woken again after the issue is already
closed.
## Verification
- `bin/ci`: absent in this repo, so I used the repo's targeted
test-equivalent commands for the touched API route.
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --ignore-scripts`: passed, with
non-fatal warnings about missing `paperclip-plugin-dev-server` bins
because `packages/plugins/sdk/dist/dev-cli.js` is not built under
`--ignore-scripts`.
- `pnpm run preflight:workspace-links && pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-update-comment-wakeup-routes.test.ts`: passed
(`Test Files 1 passed`, `Tests 8 passed`).
- GitHub PR workflow checks for build, typecheck, server tests,
workspace tests, serialized suites, e2e, canary dry run, security scans,
and policy are green on commit
`5a8bd799edd606731fd5e215ea97417a655338ea`.
- A normal `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` is blocked on this host
before tests because `sharp` attempts a native build under Node `26.1.0`
/ Python `3.14.5` and fails on missing Python `distutils`; the
route-level verification above used `--ignore-scripts` to avoid that
local toolchain issue.
## Risks
Low risk. The behavior change is limited to comment-wakeup suppression
during issue update handling and only narrows wake emission when the
post-update status is terminal. The main edge case is that a
same-request terminal update with a comment will no longer wake the
assignee; explicit reopen or resume flows should remain the correct way
to restart completed work.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server derives each spawned agent's `PAPERCLIP_API_URL` from
`authPublicBaseUrl` via `choosePrimaryRuntimeApiUrl` →
`buildPaperclipEnv`
> - At startup, `rewriteLocalUrlPort` rewrote the port of the configured
`auth.publicBaseUrl` to the internal listen port
> - The rewrite was applied to *any* explicit-port URL, not just
loopback ones — so an external base URL on a non-default port (e.g. a
Tailscale Serve listener on `:8443`) got clobbered to the internal HTTP
port `:3101`
> - `https://host:3101` (HTTPS scheme against the plaintext HTTP port)
is unreachable, and that dead value propagated to every spawned agent's
`PAPERCLIP_API_URL`
> - This pull request preserves explicit external base URLs at startup
while keeping the worktree path's intended per-worktree port rewrite
> - The benefit is that agents following the documented `curl
"$PAPERCLIP_API_URL/..."` pattern no longer hit a dead endpoint
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue; describing inline (bug report).
**Summary:** at server startup, `rewriteLocalUrlPort` corrupts an
explicit external `auth.publicBaseUrl`, leaking a dead
`PAPERCLIP_API_URL` to spawned agents.
**Steps to reproduce:**
1. Configure `auth.publicBaseUrl = https://<host>:8443` (an external
listener on a non-default port, e.g. Tailscale Serve).
2. Start the server (internal listen port `3101`).
3. Inspect a spawned agent run's env:
`PAPERCLIP_API_URL=https://<host>:3101`.
**Expected:** the agent-facing URL points at a reachable origin.
**Actual:** `curl "$PAPERCLIP_API_URL/..."` → `http_code=000` (HTTPS
against the plaintext HTTP port; TLS handshake fails). The fleet stays
healthy only because the runtime falls through its candidate list, but
any agent following the documented curl pattern silently hits a dead
endpoint first.
Related open PRs in the same area (dedup — none merged; this is a
smaller, targeted fix with regression tests):
- Refs #9916 (PAPERCLIP_RUNTIME_API_URL precedence + authPublicBaseUrl
port preservation)
- Refs #7342 (preserve explicit authPublicBaseUrl during startup,
GH#7341)
- Refs #9228 (prefer reachable runtime API URLs for local adapters)
## What Changed
- New `server/src/url-utils.ts` with two intent-revealing helpers
(single source of truth):
- `rewriteUrlPort` — rewrite any explicit-port URL to a new port.
- `rewriteLoopbackUrlPort` — rewrite **only** loopback hosts; explicit
external URLs survive untouched.
- `isLoopbackHost` — bracket-tolerant so a URL hostname form `[::1]`
matches.
- `server/src/index.ts` (startup, the bug): `authPublicBaseUrl` now uses
`rewriteLoopbackUrlPort`, so an external Serve URL keeps its port.
Nested helper copies removed in favor of the shared module.
- `server/src/worktree-config.ts` (worktree path): uses `rewriteUrlPort`
— **behavior unchanged**; a worktree still advertises its own server
port even on a non-loopback host (this is intended and asserted by the
existing worktree suite).
- `server/src/url-utils.test.ts`: regression coverage for both helpers.
- Updated one stale assertion in
`server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts` that had encoded the old
(buggy) external-host rewrite at startup.
## Verification
- `vitest run src/url-utils.test.ts
src/__tests__/worktree-config.test.ts
src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts` → **33 passed**;
the only local failure is a pre-existing, environment-coupled test
(`derives trusted origins…`) that leaks the dev machine's real Tailscale
identity into an origins list and passes in CI (it is unrelated to this
change — its `authPublicBaseUrl` is loopback and rewrites identically
before/after).
- `npm run typecheck` (`tsc --noEmit`) → **clean, exit 0**.
- PR CI: Build, Typecheck + Release Registry, serialized server suites,
and `review` gate green.
## Risks
Low risk. The only behavioral change is at startup: an explicit
*external* base URL on a non-default port is no longer rewritten to the
internal listen port (the bug). Loopback/worktree behavior is unchanged.
No schema/migration changes.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - One of its pluggability surfaces is external adapter packages,
loaded at startup by `server/src/adapters/plugin-loader.ts` and routed
through the adapter registry so third parties can override built-in
adapters like `claude_local`
> - `loadExternalAdapterPackage` calls `await import(modulePath)` where
`modulePath` is an absolute filesystem path
> - On Windows that path begins with a drive letter (`C:\…`), which
Node's ESM loader parses as a URL scheme and rejects with
`ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ESM_URL_SCHEME`; the defensive `try/catch` around the
call masks the failure and the builtin adapter silently keeps serving
traffic, so the override never activates
> - `reloadExternalAdapter` in the same file already tries to build a
`file://` URL, but does it via template-string concatenation
(`file://${modulePath}`) which produces a malformed URL on Windows
(`file://C:\…` instead of `file:///C:/…`) — so dev hot-reload of
adapters is broken on Windows even after initial load works on POSIX
> - This pull request swaps both paths to `pathToFileURL()` from
`node:url`, the idiomatic cross-platform conversion
> - The benefit is external adapter packages load reliably on Windows
with no changes required to existing adapters, and the two sibling paths
in the same file stop diverging in their URL-handling discipline
Closes#4286.
## What Changed
- `server/src/adapters/plugin-loader.ts`:
- Import `pathToFileURL` from `node:url`.
- `loadExternalAdapterPackage`: wrap `modulePath` in
`pathToFileURL(modulePath).href` before passing to `import()`.
- `reloadExternalAdapter`: replace `` `file://${modulePath}` `` string
concatenation with `pathToFileURL(modulePath).href` so the cache-bust
URL is well-formed on Windows too (drive letter, UNC, percent-encoding).
Three lines changed + one import. No behavior change on POSIX:
`pathToFileURL("/foo/bar.js").href === "file:///foo/bar.js"`, which
Node's ESM loader accepts identically to the bare path.
## Verification
**Runtime, Windows 11, Node v24, `@paperclipai/server@2026.416.0`:**
Before (installed dist, vanilla):
```
INFO: Loading external adapter package {packageName: "@reforged/adapter-claude-local", modulePath: "C:\\Users\\…\\index.js"}
WARN: Failed to dynamically load external adapter; skipping
err: ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ESM_URL_SCHEME … Received protocol 'c:'
```
After (same dist with the equivalent two-line patch applied):
```
INFO: Loading external adapter package {packageName: "@reforged/adapter-claude-local"}
INFO: Loaded external adapters from plugin store {count: 1, adapters: ["claude_local"]}
```
End-to-end: the override actually services execute calls and its
telemetry fields (e.g. `errorCode: "rate_limited"` on 429) surface into
heartbeat-run records — I've been running this heartbeat through the
override on a vendor-patched copy while drafting this PR.
**Static / logic review:**
- `pathToFileURL` is part of Node's stdlib since v10.12.0, no new dep.
- On POSIX, `path.resolve("/a", "b") → "/a/b"` and
`pathToFileURL("/a/b").href → "file:///a/b"`. `await
import("file:///a/b")` and `await import("/a/b")` both resolve to the
same ESM module — no double-load risk.
- Reload path: the existing cache-bust query (`?t=${Date.now()}`) still
appends cleanly because `pathToFileURL(...).href` returns a normalized
`file:///…` URL with no pre-existing query string.
**Local test suite:** I did not run the full `pnpm test` suite in this
fork — the monorepo test infrastructure (embedded Postgres, pnpm
workspace install) is a significant local-setup cost and this change is
surgical enough that CI should be the source of truth. Happy to iterate
based on CI signal. No existing test directly exercises
`plugin-loader.ts`'s initial-load path.
## Risks
**Low.** This aligns the initial-load path with the already-existing
intent of the reload path (which tried, but imperfectly, to use a
`file://` URL). POSIX behavior is unchanged. The only runtime difference
is that Windows stops throwing and starts loading the adapter — which is
exactly the bug being fixed.
Edge cases worth naming:
- **UNC paths** (`\\server\share\…`): previously broken the same way on
the load path, still broken with `file://` string concat on the reload
path. `pathToFileURL` handles UNC correctly (→
`file:////server/share/…`), so this change also quietly fixes UNC-path
adapter installs on Windows.
- **Bun**: the reload path has a Bun cache-eviction block that keys off
`modulePath` and the old `fileUrl`. Bun accepts both `file://` URLs and
bare paths in its module cache keys, so changing the URL form is
consistent with the existing evict-both pattern (we still evict both
`fileUrl` and `modulePath` after the change).
## Model Used

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Issue execution uses isolated workspaces that hold the issue
worktree
> - A terminal issue can leave its isolated workspace archived and
unable to resume
> - The existing closed-workspace guards returned a conflict and gave
the user no self-serve recovery
> - This pull request reopens the same isolated workspace row and
rebuilds its worktree
> - The benefit is that resume, checkout, and comment actions can
continue without a new workspace row
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Problem or motivation**
A terminal issue can point to an archived isolated execution workspace.
Resume, checkout, and comment actions then stop with a conflict.
**What happened?**
A terminal issue kept its issue-to-workspace link after the isolated
workspace reached a closed status. The guarded actions returned HTTP 409
instead of restoring access.
**Expected behavior**
The next authorized resume, checkout, or comment action reopens the same
isolated workspace row. The action rebuilds the worktree and then
continues.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create an issue that uses an isolated execution workspace.
2. Move the issue to a terminal state and let the workspace archive.
3. Try to resume the issue or add a comment.
4. Observe the closed-workspace conflict.
**Paperclip version or commit**
e6e79f458e
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with pnpm.
**Proposed solution**
Reopen the closed isolated workspace in place. Rebuild the worktree
before the route reports success.
**Alternatives considered**
Create a new workspace row. This would require repointing the issue link
and would not preserve access for issues that share the original row.
**Roadmap alignment**
ROADMAP.md has no matching reopen item.
## What Changed
- Reopen closed isolated workspace rows in place and rebuild their
worktrees.
- Use the reopen path from resume, checkout, and comment guards.
- Return a clear error when the rebuild fails and keep the workspace
closed.
- Fence terminal reaping and archive cleanup while a reopen is in
flight.
- Update the comment composer to allow the next action to reopen the
workspace.
- Add service and route tests for reopen, scope, failure, and lifecycle
races.
## Verification
- Server TypeScript check passes with the tsc --noEmit command.
- UI TypeScript check passes with the tsc --noEmit command.
- Seventy-two server tests pass across the affected test files.
- The isolated worktree UI test suite has a dependency mismatch and
fails before tests run with the error TypeError: act is not a function.
- CI confirms the UI test job after a clean dependency install.
## Risks
The reopen path changes behavior for closed isolated workspaces. A
rebuild failure returns an error and keeps the row closed. Lifecycle
locks and generation checks protect the worktree from stale cleanup. The
UI test mismatch needs CI confirmation.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, with tool use and code review assistance. The
runtime did not provide the context window size.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Cloud provisions a dedicated tenant stack for each
customer. During signup it asks for a mission, a name and role for the
first agent, and a first task.
> - Cloud pushes those answers into the new stack at activation, as
`POST /api/companies/:companyId/onboarding-seed`.
> - No route served that path. The tenant answered 404, so Cloud
recorded the push as unacknowledged and retried on every portfolio
fetch.
> - The failure was soft. The answers stayed durable in Cloud and the
stack still activated. But the stack opened on the empty first-run
wizard, and it asked the customer again for what they had already given.
> - This pull request adds the receiving endpoint. It validates the
seed, applies it, and acknowledges it.
> - The benefit is that a seeded stack opens with the mission, the agent
and the first task already in place.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue covers this. The problem is described in-PR,
following the feature template.
**Subsystem affected**
server/ — Express REST API and orchestration services. Also
`packages/db` (one new table) and `packages/shared` (one new validator).
**Problem or motivation**
Paperclip Cloud collects onboarding answers at signup and pushes them to
the tenant stack at activation. The tenant had no route for that
request. It answered 404. Cloud treats a non-2xx as "not yet applied",
so it kept the answers and retried, but the stack itself stayed
unseeded. A customer who had already named their mission, their first
agent and their first task arrived at an empty first-run wizard that
asked for all three again.
**Proposed solution**
Serve `POST /api/companies/:companyId/onboarding-seed`. Validate the
body, apply it to the company, then acknowledge it.
The seed is customer free text, so it is bounded and validated in
`packages/shared` and read from the JSON body only. It is never read
from an `x-paperclip-cloud-*` header. That header set is the trusted
identity envelope: every member is derived server-side from the host
plus verified domain records, and that is exactly what makes it
trustworthy. Mixing user content into it would remove the property. A
test plants a mission on a cloud header and asserts that the body value
wins.
Application reuses the shapes the first-run wizard already produces, so
a seeded stack and a manually onboarded one look the same afterwards:
- The mission becomes the company-level goal. A multi-line mission
splits into a title and a description, as the wizard does.
- The agent becomes the company's first hire. Its free-text role ("Chief
of Staff") lands on `title`. The structural `role` stays `ceo`, which is
what the org chart and the default-instructions lookup read.
- The first task becomes an issue in the Onboarding project, assigned to
that agent.
Cloud retries until it gets a 2xx, and it reads any 2xx as "the tenant
holds this content". So the endpoint is idempotent per `revision`. A new
`company_onboarding_seeds` table records the applied revision together
with the goal, the agent and the issue it produced. A replay of a
revision that already matches is a successful no-op. A later revision —
the customer edited their answers — updates those three rows in place
instead of creating a second agent and a second task. The record is
written last, after every other write has landed, so a partial
application cannot present itself as acknowledged.
Everything is applied before the 200 is sent. This is an ordering
guarantee, not eventual consistency. The tests read the database
immediately after the response, with no waiting and no polling, so a
lazy receiver fails them on a fast machine as well as a slow one. That
matters because the redirect into the tenant dashboard is gated on this
acknowledgement.
**Alternatives considered**
Store the seed and let the tenant UI apply it on first load. Rejected:
the dashboard redirect is gated on the acknowledgement, so a background
apply would let the dashboard open before the agent and the task exist.
The whole point is that it must not.
Reuse `POST /companies/:companyId/agents` and `POST
/companies/:companyId/issues` over HTTP from Cloud. Rejected: it needs
three round trips with no shared idempotency key, and it moves the "did
all of it land?" decision to the caller.
**Roadmap alignment**
This completes an existing Cloud-to-tenant contract. It does not add a
new user-facing surface.
## What Changed
- Add `POST /api/companies/:companyId/onboarding-seed` in
`server/src/routes/onboarding-seed.ts`. It authenticates exactly as
`POST /api/companies/:companyId/logo` does, through
`assertCompanyAccess`.
- Add `server/src/services/onboarding-seed.ts`. It applies the mission,
the agent and the first task, and records the applied revision last.
- Add the `company_onboarding_seeds` table: schema, migration `0216`,
and journal entry. It holds the applied revision and the ids of the
goal, agent and issue the seed produced.
- Add `applyOnboardingSeedSchema` in `packages/shared`. It bounds
mission to 2000, agent name to 80, agent role to 120, task title to 200,
and task details to 2000 — the same limits Cloud enforces before it
sends.
- Mount the router in `server/src/app.ts` and register the path in the
OpenAPI document.
- Add `server/src/__tests__/onboarding-seed-route.test.ts` with 13
tests.
- The seeded agent is created on `claude_local`. This mirrors the
teams-catalog default for agents created server-side, where no human
runs an environment test first. `PAPERCLIP_ONBOARDING_SEED_ADAPTER_TYPE`
overrides it.
## Verification
```sh
pnpm typecheck # whole workspace, passes
npx vitest run \
server/src/__tests__/onboarding-seed-route.test.ts \
server/src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts # 15 passed
```
The suite runs against embedded Postgres with migrations applied, so
migration `0216` is exercised by every test.
The route tests cover:
- the happy path — mission, agent and task all applied, read immediately
after the 200
- replay of the same revision — no second agent, no second task, no
second goal, no second project
- a later revision — the goal, agent and task are updated in place
- a multi-line mission splitting into a goal title and description
- a revision-only seed
- the activity log entry written once, and not again on a replay
- a caller without access to the company — 403, and nothing written
- a body with no revision — 400
- each field bound past its limit — 400
- a mission planted on an `x-paperclip-cloud-*` header — ignored, body
wins
- an existing Onboarding project — reused, not duplicated
Not verified here: the full Cloud-to-tenant walk against a live stack.
That needs a deployed Cloud and a provisioned tenant together, which is
separate staging work.
## Risks
Migration `0216` creates one new table. It adds no column to an existing
table, rewrites nothing, and backfills nothing, so it is safe to apply
online. The migration safety check passes.
The endpoint writes to a company. Access is enforced by
`assertCompanyAccess`, the same gate the company logo write uses, and a
test covers the denial.
Behavioral note for stacks that already hold data. If a company already
has a non-built-in `ceo` agent, a first seed updates that agent's name
and title rather than creating a second lead. Likewise a seed adopts an
existing company-level goal rather than adding a parallel one. This is
deliberate: the seed is the customer's own stated answer from signup,
and two competing missions or two leads would be worse than one updated
in place. In the intended case — a stack that Cloud has just activated —
none of these exist yet.
The seeded agent is created on `claude_local` with an empty adapter
config. It is idle and needs the usual credential setup before it runs.
Seeding it does not start it.
## Update — rebased onto master + review hardening
Master moved on after this PR was cut, so it was **rebased onto
`master`** and
the seed migration was **renumbered from `0212` to `0216`** (the merged
#11101
took `0212_onboarding_first_task_unique`); the drizzle journal was
re-stitched
and `check:migrations` passes.
Two things landed on top of the original receiver:
- **Mission-only walk contract (PAP-67 r17.4).** The tenant now owns the
first
agent and the first task via #11101's server-owned onboarding path,
which
stamps `ONBOARDING_FIRST_TASK_ORIGIN_KIND` and races safely on the
partial
unique index `issues_onboarding_first_task_uq`. A comment in the apply
path
documents why this receiver leaves the first task to that path on the
cloud
walk, and a paperclip-cloud `node:test`
(`src/onboarding/walk-seed.test.ts`)
asserts the walk's seed carries no `agent`/`firstTask`. The receiver
retains
the agent/first-task code for its documented body contract, kept inert
on the
cloud path by the mission-only seed.
- **Three Greptile P1 fixes** (`95622fa37`): concurrent application is
now
serialized under a per-company `pg_advisory_xact_lock` (no duplicate
goal/agent/project/task on overlapping pushes); a revised first task
carries
its resolved `assigneeAgentId`/`goalId`; and the
`company.onboarding_seed_applied`
audit write is best-effort so a logging failure can't leave the entry
permanently absent. Two new regression tests cover the first two.
## Model Used
Claude Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5`), 1M context window, extended thinking,
with tool use and code execution. Used for the original codebase
investigation, the implementation, and the tests. The rebase, migration
renumber, mission-only contract, and the three P1 fixes were done with
Claude Opus 4.8 (`claude-opus-4-8`), extended thinking, with tool use

Fixes#7623
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Company invites are part of the access subsystem and must produce
URLs that recipients can open from outside the host machine.
> - Paperclip already has public/auth base URL configuration for
deployments behind a public hostname, Tailscale, or a reverse proxy.
> - Invite URL composition was still deriving its origin from the
incoming request host, so loopback-bound servers emitted
`http://127.0.0.1:3100/invite/...`.
> - A loopback invite URL is not shareable with a remote human or agent,
even when the token itself is valid.
> - This pull request makes invite URL builders prefer the configured
public base URL and keep the existing request-host fallback when it is
unset.
> - The benefit is that copied invite links use the reachable deployment
origin without changing local-only behavior.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#7623
No duplicate or related PRs/issues were found in a GitHub search for
invite URL, loopback, public base URL, and `authPublicBaseUrl` terms.
## What Changed
- Added base URL resolution in `server/src/routes/access.ts` that strips
trailing slashes and prefers configured `authPublicBaseUrl` over the
request-derived host.
- Threaded `authPublicBaseUrl` through invite summary, invite onboarding
manifest, onboarding text, access routes, `createApp`, and server
startup wiring.
- Added `server/src/__tests__/invite-url-public-base-url.test.ts`
covering configured public-base precedence, unset fallback behavior, and
trailing-slash normalization.
- Registered the invite public-base URL test in the serialized Vitest
server runner.
## Verification
```bash
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/invite-url-public-base-url.test.ts
pnpm run test:run:serialized
```
Local results from the rebased PR branch:
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` exited 0.
- Targeted invite URL test exited 0: 1 file, 3 tests passed.
- Serialized server suite exited 0: 106 serialized suites completed; the
new invite URL test passed inside that runner.
Manual check after deployment: set `PAPERCLIP_AUTH_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` or
equivalent public base URL config, create a company invite, and confirm
the returned/copied invite URL uses that public origin instead of
`127.0.0.1`.
## Risks
Low risk. The new public base URL parameter is optional and falls back
to existing request-derived behavior when unset. The main operational
risk is misconfigured public base URL input; the implementation only
trims trailing slashes and otherwise trusts the configured origin.
## Model Used
- Original implementation: Anthropic `claude-sonnet-4-6`, 200k context,
tool use and test execution.
- Conflict repair and verification: OpenAI Codex GPT-5.5, coding agent
with shell, git, GitHub CLI, and local test execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Local adapters (claude_local, codex_local) run agent heartbeats as
child processes, with a short-lived run JWT injected as
`PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` at spawn time
> - That JWT is minted exactly once, when the adapter spawns the process
— its TTL must therefore cover the entire wall-clock life of the run,
not just a prompt startup
> - On laptops the gap between spawn and first real execution can be
huge: a timer heartbeat scheduled while the lid is closed fires during a
~2s macOS dark wake, the machine re-sleeps immediately, and the frozen
child only executes during a later, longer wake — over an hour of
wall-clock delay in observed runs
> - The server's default TTL was 1h, so those sessions started with an
already-expired `PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` and every control-plane call 401'd;
the agent had to recover by manually minting a fresh key
> - The 1h default was also a spec drift: the CLI `env` command
(`DEFAULT_AGENT_JWT_TTL_SECONDS`) and the agent-authentication design
doc both document 172800s (48h)
> - This pull request realigns the server default to 48h and documents
the host-suspension constraint at the mint site and in the regression
test
> - The benefit is that lid-closed/suspended-host heartbeat runs come up
with a valid credential, and the three places that state the default now
agree
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this; per the bug-report template:
- **What happened:** A timer-driven heartbeat run on a MacBook (lid
closed, on battery) was invoked during a ~2s dark wake. The adapter
spawned the CLI and logged init within 2s, then the host re-slept and
the session sat frozen for ~64 minutes until a longer dark wake let it
execute. By then the injected run JWT (1h TTL, minted at spawn) had
expired, so every API call from the agent returned 401 and the run could
only recover via a manually minted key. A second agent's run the same
night showed the identical signature (output timestamps exactly matching
`pmset -g log` dark-wake windows).
- **Expected behavior:** A run that starts late because the host was
suspended should still have a valid `PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` when it finally
executes.
- **Steps to reproduce:** Run Paperclip on a laptop with a
`claude_local` agent on a timer heartbeat; close the lid on battery
overnight; observe a run invoked during a dark wake whose session
executes >1h later with an expired token (compare run-log timestamps to
`pmset -g log` sleep/wake entries).
- **Version/commit:** current `master` (14f20be9); local trusted
deployment mode.
Related context: #5864 introduced per-company signing keys in this same
module (no TTL changes).
## What Changed
- `server/src/agent-auth-jwt.ts`: default `ttlSeconds` for local agent
run JWTs raised from `60 * 60` (1h) to `60 * 60 * 48` (48h), matching
`DEFAULT_AGENT_JWT_TTL_SECONDS` in `cli/src/commands/env.ts` and
`doc/plans/2026-02-18-agent-authentication-implementation.md`; comment
documents why the TTL must cover host-suspension gaps
- `server/src/agent-auth-jwt.ts`: stale "~1h by default" reference in
the legacy-fallback guidance updated to 48h
- `server/src/__tests__/agent-auth-jwt.test.ts`: default-TTL regression
test updated to assert 48h and explain the constraint
- `PAPERCLIP_AGENT_JWT_TTL_SECONDS` remains the explicit override knob;
operators who set it see no behavior change
## Verification
- `cd server && pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/agent-auth-jwt.test.ts
src/__tests__/agent-auth-middleware.test.ts` — 24/24 pass locally
- Review that the three default sources now agree:
`server/src/agent-auth-jwt.ts` (`60 * 60 * 48`),
`cli/src/commands/env.ts` (`DEFAULT_AGENT_JWT_TTL_SECONDS = "172800"`),
design doc (`default: 172800`)
- Manual: on a laptop, set no TTL env, trigger a heartbeat, `echo
$PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` inside the run and decode the JWT — `exp - iat` is
172800
## Risks
- Longer-lived bearer tokens widen the leak window if a run token is
exfiltrated. Mitigations already in place: tokens are
per-company/per-instance signed (#5864), bound to a `run_id`, and never
persisted server-side. Operators wanting shorter tokens keep the
`PAPERCLIP_AGENT_JWT_TTL_SECONDS` override.
- The legacy master-secret fallback window guidance ("disable ~one TTL
after deploy") lengthens accordingly; the comment now states 48h
explicitly.
- Follow-up ideas intentionally out of scope: rejecting run JWTs whose
run has terminated (server-side revocation check), and holding a power
assertion (`caffeinate`-style) for the duration of local adapter runs so
dark-wake-spawned runs keep the host awake.
## Model Used
- Claude (Anthropic) — Fable 5, model ID `claude-fable-5`, via Claude
Code 2.1.x under Paperclip's `claude_local` adapter; extended thinking
and full tool use (shell, file edits, test execution) enabled

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Every agent run gets a run-scoped bridge into the Paperclip API
through the injected `PAPERCLIP_API_URL` / `PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` env vars,
built by `buildPaperclipEnv` in
`packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.ts`
> - `buildPaperclipEnv` resolves that URL as `PAPERCLIP_RUNTIME_API_URL
?? PAPERCLIP_API_URL ?? http://<listen-host>:<port>`, and the server
always exports `PAPERCLIP_RUNTIME_API_URL` derived from
`authPublicBaseUrl` at boot
> - When `authPublicBaseUrl` points at an address that is not reachable
from inside the runtime container (e.g. a VPN/tailnet-only address used
to keep the web UI off the public internet), every local run receives a
dead API URL (`curl` exit 7) and agents only survive by hand-rolling a
localhost fallback
> - An operator-set `PAPERCLIP_API_URL` is the documented escape hatch —
`docs/deploy/environment-variables.md` states the server "preserves the
value" when set externally and that the run-level var "inherits the
server-level value" — but the run env builder inverts the precedence, so
the override never actually reaches runs
> - This pull request swaps the precedence in `buildPaperclipEnv` so an
explicit `PAPERCLIP_API_URL` wins over the derived runtime URL, aligning
the behavior with the documented contract
> - The benefit is that operators with split-horizon topologies (public
auth URL != container-reachable URL) can point agent runs at a reachable
endpoint with one env var, with zero behavior change for deployments
that do not set it
## Underlying Issue
No pre-existing public issue covers this, so per CONTRIBUTING ("Link
Issues or Describe Them In-PR") here are the `bug_report.yml` fields
inline:
- **What happened:** with `PAPERCLIP_AUTH_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` on a
tailnet-only address and `PAPERCLIP_API_URL=http://localhost:3100`
explicitly set in the server environment, every agent run still received
`PAPERCLIP_API_URL=http://100.x.y.z:3100` (the derived,
container-unreachable URL); `curl` from inside the run exits 7 and
agents can only reach the API by hand-rolling a localhost fallback
- **Expected behavior:** the run env inherits the operator-configured
`PAPERCLIP_API_URL`, as documented in
`docs/deploy/environment-variables.md` ("preserves the value", run-level
var "inherits the server-level value")
- **Steps to reproduce:** (1) set `PAPERCLIP_AUTH_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` to an
address not reachable from inside the server container, (2) set
`PAPERCLIP_API_URL=http://localhost:3100` in the server env, (3) trigger
any agent run and inspect the spawned process env: it carries the
derived URL, not the override
- **Version/commit:** reproduced on the `91e58acb` image (2026-07-19);
the precedence is unchanged on current `master` (`a3b293e`)
- **Deployment mode:** single-host Docker Compose, local adapters
(`claude_local`/`codex_local`), web UI exposed via VPN/tailnet only
## Related PRs (dedup search)
Several in-flight PRs touch the same pain point (runs receiving an
unreachable injected API URL) — linked for reviewer context; none of
them honors the documented explicit override, and the older ones appear
stale:
- #9916 — reworks `PAPERCLIP_RUNTIME_API_URL` derivation and port
preservation (server side); complementary, does not change run-env
precedence
- #8130 — honors a pre-set `PAPERCLIP_RUNTIME_API_URL` (server side); a
complementary escape hatch via the runtime var instead of the documented
`PAPERCLIP_API_URL` override
- #8025 — heuristic: prefer loopback when the runtime bind is loopback
(no activity since Jun 12)
- #5692 — heuristic loopback-safe URL inside `buildPaperclipEnv` (no
activity since May 14)
- #4877 — broader same-host injection rework across 10 files (no
activity since May 2)
- #4794 — always forces loopback for spawned agents (no activity since
Apr 30; would break split-horizon setups where a reachable non-loopback
URL is intended)
This PR intentionally takes the Path-1 route from CONTRIBUTING: the
smallest possible change (swap two lines so the documented operator
override wins) plus regression tests, rather than a new heuristic.
## What Changed
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.ts`: `buildPaperclipEnv` now
resolves the injected URL as `PAPERCLIP_API_URL ??
PAPERCLIP_RUNTIME_API_URL ?? http://<listen-host>:<port>` (explicit
override first), with a short comment explaining why
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts`: three new tests
covering the override precedence, the derived-URL fallback, and the
listen-host default (including the `0.0.0.0` to `localhost` mapping)
- `server/src/__tests__/paperclip-env.test.ts`: updated the expectation
that encoded the old runtime-URL-first precedence and added the
symmetric fallback case (runtime URL used when no explicit override is
set)
- No docs changes needed: `docs/deploy/environment-variables.md` already
describes the fixed behavior
## Verification
- `vitest run` on the new `buildPaperclipEnv` tests in
`packages/adapter-utils`: 3/3 pass
- `vitest run` on `server/src/__tests__/paperclip-env.test.ts` after the
expectation update: 5/5 pass (the first CI run correctly flagged the one
test that encoded the old precedence)
- Reproduced and verified on a production deployment (single-host
Docker, `PAPERCLIP_AUTH_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` on a tailnet-only address):
- Before: freshly spawned runs received
`PAPERCLIP_API_URL=http://100.x.y.z:3100` (verified in the spawned
process `/proc/<pid>/environ`); `curl` to it from inside the container
exits 7
- After (with `PAPERCLIP_API_URL=http://localhost:3100` in the compose
environment): a fresh run received `http://localhost:3100`, and `curl
$PAPERCLIP_API_URL/api/agents/me` with the run-scoped key returned HTTP
200; the run finished `succeeded` with usage telemetry recorded
## Risks
- Low. Behavior changes only for deployments that explicitly set
`PAPERCLIP_API_URL`; when unset (the default),
`PAPERCLIP_RUNTIME_API_URL` is used exactly as before
- The sandbox callback bridge (`execution-target.ts`) is intentionally
untouched: remote sandboxes genuinely need the publicly reachable URL,
and its `input.hostApiUrl || PAPERCLIP_RUNTIME_API_URL || ...` chain
still provides it

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Issues coordinate that work, and first-class blockers
(`blockedByIssueIds`) are how dependent work auto-resumes when its
prerequisites finish
> - A human commenting on a blocked issue implicitly reopens it to
`todo` — a deliberate heuristic so "please continue" comments revive
parked work
> - But that heuristic evaluates the issue's *pre-update* blocker set,
ignoring blockers being wired in by the very same PATCH
> - So the natural repair action for a bare-blocked issue — one PATCH
adding `blockedByIssueIds` plus an explanatory comment — silently flips
the issue to `todo`, contradicting the dependency edit it just made
> - This pull request suppresses the implicit reopen when the request
itself declares a non-empty blocker list
> - The benefit is that structured dependency edits always win over the
conversational-comment heuristic, so blocked issues keep their intended
waiting posture and auto-resume via `issue_blockers_resolved` as
designed
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue describes this exact behavior; per the bug-report
template:
- **What happened:** On a `blocked` issue with an empty blocker set, a
board user sent one `PATCH /api/issues/:id` containing
`blockedByIssueIds: ["<unresolved-issue-id>"]` and a `comment`. The
response showed `status: "todo"` — the implicit comment-reopen fired
even though the same request wired an unresolved blocker. A follow-up
`PATCH { status: "blocked" }` was then needed to restore the waiting
posture (and because the blocker array replaces on every update, the two
fields had to be re-sent together).
- **Expected behavior:** A request that explicitly declares dependencies
is stating that the issue is waiting on other work. The implicit reopen
exists for plain conversational comments; it should not override a
structured dependency edit made in the same request.
- **Steps to reproduce:** (1) Create issue A with `status: "blocked"`
and no blockers; (2) as a board user, `PATCH /api/issues/A` with `{
"blockedByIssueIds": ["<id of an open issue>"], "comment": "wiring the
dependency" }`; (3) observe the response/issue status is `todo` instead
of remaining `blocked`.
- **Version/commit:** reproduced on `master` @ `d1b9448b5`.
- **Deployment mode:** `authenticated`, single-host (macOS launchd),
embedded Postgres.
Related (not fixed here): the family of "blocked with empty
`blockedByIssueIds` zombie" reports — Refs #9201, Refs #6523 — this bug
is one way an issue's status and blocker list end up contradicting each
other; and Refs #8062, which proposes a different auto-transition at the
status/blocker boundary.
## What Changed
- `shouldImplicitlyMoveCommentedIssueToTodo`
(server/src/routes/issues.ts) accepts an optional
`requestAddsExplicitBlockers` input and returns `false` when set,
alongside the existing suppression guards, with a comment documenting
the rationale.
- The `PATCH /api/issues/:id` call site passes
`requestAddsExplicitBlockers: Array.isArray(req.body.blockedByIssueIds)
&& req.body.blockedByIssueIds.length > 0`.
- Two route tests in `issue-comment-reopen-routes.test.ts`: a regression
test (comment + non-empty blocker list on a blocked issue must not flip
status) and a boundary test (comment + `blockedByIssueIds: []` still
implicitly reopens, preserving the existing clear-blockers behavior).
Deliberately unchanged: explicit `reopen`/`resume` flags still behave as
before, and the `POST /comments` route is untouched (its body cannot
carry `blockedByIssueIds`).
## Verification
- `cd server && pnpm vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-comment-reopen-routes.test.ts` → 74/74 pass.
- Reverting the `issues.ts` change makes the new regression test fail
with `expected 'todo' to be undefined` — it bites.
- `cd server && pnpm tsc --noEmit` → clean.
## Risks
- Low. The change is a single additional suppression guard on the
*implicit* reopen path, scoped to requests that carry a non-empty
`blockedByIssueIds` array; all other reopen behavior is untouched.
- Edge case considered: a request wiring only already-resolved blockers
plus a comment now stays `blocked` instead of implicitly reopening. This
is the conservative reading of caller intent (an explicit dependency
edit), and an explicit `status`/`reopen` in the same request still wins.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent runs execute in sandbox environments acquired through provider
plugins (e.g. the Kubernetes sandbox provider)
> - Lease acquisition happens during run setup, before the adapter
executes
> - When a provider plugin's worker is momentarily unavailable (a server
or plugin restart window), lease acquisition throws "Sandbox provider
... is installed via plugin ..., but its worker is not running."
> - The heartbeat setup path records that as a terminal `setup_failed`:
no retry classifier matches the message, so the run dies instantly even
though the worker returns seconds later
> - This PR classifies that transient condition as retryable
infrastructure so the run is retried instead of being lost to a restart
blip
> - The benefit is that routine restarts no longer produce spurious
instant run failures
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists; describing inline following the bug
report template.
**What happened**
During a brief sandbox-provider-worker restart window, several runs
failed instantly with `setup_failed` ("... but its worker is not
running."), while runs on the same agent moments earlier and later
succeeded.
**Expected behavior**
A transient, self-healing worker-unavailable condition should schedule a
bounded retry, not terminally fail the run.
**Steps to reproduce**
Trigger a run while the sandbox provider plugin worker is momentarily
unavailable (a server or plugin restart). Lease acquisition throws the
worker-not-running error and the run is finalized as `setup_failed` with
no retry. The recovery test added here reproduces the classification
path.
**Deployment mode**
Cloud multi-tenant execution (Kubernetes sandbox provider plugin).
## What Changed
- Added a dedicated, readable predicate that recognizes the transient
sandbox-provider-worker-unavailable lease failure and treats it as
retryable infrastructure, so the heartbeat schedules a bounded
continuation retry instead of finalizing terminally
- The predicate is anchored to the full lease-failure phrasing (`is
installed via plugin ... but its worker is not running`) so it cannot
match the permanent "provider not installed" message emitted by config
validation
- Added tests proving the readiness poll already waits the full deadline
while the worker handle is absent or `starting` (registered-late
coverage); no poll behavior change was needed
## Verification
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/environment-runtime.test.ts` — poll exhaustion +
registered-late cases
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` —
worker-unavailable message schedules a retry; a non-matching permanent
provider failure still escalates terminally (negative case)
## Risks
Low risk. The retry is bounded by the existing
infrastructure-continuation attempt cap (max 3), the message match is
narrow enough to exclude the permanent provider-not-installed failure
(covered by a negative test), and no readiness-poll or lease-acquisition
behavior changed.
## Model Used
Claude (Anthropic) via Claude Code. Implementation and tests authored by
a Claude Sonnet-class model (`claude-sonnet-5`) dispatched as isolated
per-task implementer agents under a multi-agent orchestration workflow;
root-cause investigation, planning, and two-stage adversarial code
review performed by additional Claude agents. Extended thinking and tool
use enabled throughout.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Hiring an agent means choosing a harness (adapter) for it, and an
instance can declare which harnesses it actually runs through
`PAPERCLIP_ADAPTERS`, which `reconcileAdapterAvailability` turns into a
disabled set at boot
> - The hire and create routes validate the adapter type with
`assertKnownAdapterType`, which only asks whether the adapter is
REGISTERED — a disabled adapter passes
> - So an agent can be created on a harness the instance cannot run, and
the failure only appears later, per run, at lease time: `Adapter "..."
is not in the configured adapter registry`
> - By then the error is in a run log, minutes after the choice, with
nothing tying it back to the harness the user picked; the agent also
keeps accepting work it can never do
> - This pull request validates the hire and create paths against the
ENABLED set and refuses with a message that names the adapters that are
available
> - The benefit is that an impossible choice fails at the moment it is
made, in the words of the choice itself, instead of as a run failure the
user cannot act on
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue; describing it here per the bug report template.
**What happened**
On an instance with a curated registry, a company's Chief of Staff was
hired on `cursor_cloud`, which that instance had disabled. The API
accepted the hire. Its first assignment run then failed:
```
Failed to acquire lease for environment "Kubernetes Sandbox" (sandbox): Adapter "cursor_cloud" is not in the configured adapter registry
```
and its automation run sat in `queued` for hours afterwards. Nothing in
the hire response, the agent detail view, or the agent's status
explained that this harness could never run.
**Expected behavior**
hiring on an adapter the instance has disabled is refused at hire time,
with a message naming the adapters that can be chosen.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start the server with a registry that omits an otherwise-registered
adapter, e.g. `PAPERCLIP_ADAPTERS` listing `claude_local` but not
`cursor_cloud`.
2. `POST /api/companies/:companyId/agents` with
`{"name":"CoS","adapterType":"cursor_cloud"}`.
3. The agent is created (201). Every run it attempts fails at lease time
with the message above.
**Paperclip version or commit**
master (`4c55f0d8d`).
## What Changed
- `server/src/routes/agents.ts`: adds `assertSelectableAdapterType`,
which extends `assertKnownAdapterType` with an enabled-set check and
throws `422 Adapter "<type>" is not available on this instance.
Available adapters: <list>`. The hire (`POST .../agent-hires`) and
create (`POST .../agents`) paths now use it.
- Routes that operate on an EXISTING agent keep
`assertKnownAdapterType`, so an agent already running on a
since-disabled adapter is unaffected — the same rule
`listEnabledServerAdapters` already documents ("hidden from selection,
still functional for agents that already use them").
- `server/src/__tests__/agent-adapter-validation-routes.test.ts`: mocks
the adapter-plugin store's disabled set (so the test never writes to a
real `~/.paperclip/adapter-settings.json`), and covers
refuse-when-disabled (including that the message names the alternatives
and that no agent is created) plus create-still-works-when-enabled.
## Verification
```
pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/agent-adapter-validation-routes.test.ts
```
13 tests pass, including the two new cases and the existing
unknown-adapter-type test.
Manual: disable an adapter (`PATCH /api/adapters/:type {"disabled":
true}` as an instance admin, or omit it from `PAPERCLIP_ADAPTERS` and
restart), then POST an agent with that `adapterType` — 422 naming the
available adapters, and no agent row is created.
## Risks
Low, and scoped to new selections:
- Automation that creates agents on a disabled adapter now gets a 422
where it previously got a 201 followed by runs that always failed. That
is the intended behavior change, and the message names the valid
choices.
- Existing agents, and every route that acts on an existing agent, are
untouched.
- The enabled set comes from the same store `GET /api/adapters` already
reports, so the API and the picker cannot disagree.

> - Agents run on a heartbeat; when an issue-scoped run ends, the server
records the outcome on the issue's board thread.

`resultJson.summary` **verbatim**, with no length cap or shape check.
> - For runs that never produce a final `result`, `summary` is
concatenated **inter-tool narration** ("Let me check…", "I'll fetch…",
joined by the claude-local adapter's parser). The fallback then dumps
that raw transcript onto the public board thread.
> - In practice this produces long, confusing transcript comments that
mislead reviewers and other agents about what actually happened.
> - This PR gates the fallback so it publishes a clean summary or a
short stub, never raw transcript.
> - The benefit is that the board thread stays trustworthy: a missing
agent summary degrades to a one-line "no summary this run" note instead
of leaking internal narration.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this; describing it here as a bug
report.
**What happened:** When an issue-scoped heartbeat run finishes without
the agent posting its own comment, the server's fallback publishes
`resultJson.summary` verbatim as the board comment. When the run
produced no final result, that value is concatenated inter-tool
narration, so raw transcript is posted to the issue thread.
**Expected behavior:** The fallback should post a concise summary when
one is available, and otherwise a short stub — never multi-hundred-line
raw narration.
**Steps to reproduce:**
1. Run an issue-scoped agent turn that ends without calling `POST
/comments` and without emitting a final `result` (only inter-tool
narration).
2. Observe the auto-published board comment: it is the full narration
transcript.
**Deployment mode:** self-hosted server
(`server/src/services/heartbeat.ts` fallback path).
**Prior attempt:** an earlier PR for this change was auto-closed when
its head branch was renamed to strip an internal ticket id from the
branch name; this PR supersedes it.
**Related PR:** #7505 (`fix(heartbeat): skip auto-mirror run-summary
comment on cross-owner wakes`) touches the same fallback area but
addresses a different case (cross-owner wakes); this PR is
complementary, gating the *content* of the fallback rather than *when*
it fires.
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/heartbeat-run-summary.ts`:
`buildHeartbeatRunIssueComment` now gates the fallback text. After
resolving `summary` → `result` → `message`, if the text opens with a
narration phrase (`let me`, `i'll`, `i need to`, `i can see`, `looking
at`, `fetching`, `checking`, `first,`) **or** exceeds
`MAX_FALLBACK_COMMENT_CHARS` (1200), it returns a fixed stub: *"Run
completed. Agent did not post a summary comment this run (transcript
withheld — see run log)."* Otherwise it returns the text unchanged.
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-run-summary.test.ts`: added cases for
each narration opener, the length cap, the exact 1200-char boundary
(posts), and clean-summary passthrough.
Runs where the agent posts via the API are unaffected — the fallback
only fires when no agent comment is found for the run, and that call
site is unchanged.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclip/server test heartbeat-run-summary` — 13/13
pass (new + existing cases).
- Manual reasoning: the gate is a pure function of the resolved text;
API-posted runs never reach it.
- **CI note:** at the time of opening, `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
fails on this branch's base commit with
`ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH` (patchedDependencies drift). This
reproduces on every PR based on the current `master` tip (e.g. #10137)
and is unrelated to this two-file change; PRs cut from the prior master
(e.g. #10135) install cleanly. This should clear once the `Refresh
Lockfile` job lands a corrected lockfile on `master` and this branch is
rebased. Happy to rebase or fold in the lockfile fix if a maintainer
prefers.
## Risks
Low risk. The change is confined to one pure function and its tests,
touches no schema or migration, and only alters the *fallback* comment
path (never the normal API-posted path). Worst case is a legitimate
clean summary that happens to open with a gated phrase gets replaced by
the stub — the run log still holds the full detail.

## Thinking Path
- Followed a silent nonzero Hermes exit from child-process result
parsing through heartbeat run, runtime, task-session, and agent
finalization.
- Found two gaps: the adapter could return `errorMessage: null` for a
numeric nonzero exit, and heartbeat later reused the nullable adapter
field instead of its normalized fallback.
- Kept timeout, signal-cancellation, and specific parsed diagnostics
authoritative.
## Linked Issue(s) / Bug Report
Related to #9751 (stderr classification) and #9519 (exit-zero
finalization), but this is a separate failure mode.
Reproduction: run Hermes with a child result equivalent to `exitCode:
1`, `timedOut: false`, and no parsed diagnostic. The heartbeat row
derives `Adapter failed`, while runtime/task-session/agent finalization
can persist null diagnostics.
## What Changed
- Give silent numeric nonzero Hermes exits a stable fallback such as
`Hermes exited with code 1`.
- Preserve specific parsed errors and timeout/signal semantics.
- Reuse the normalized persisted run error for recovered runtime state,
task-session `lastError`, and agent `errorReason`.
- Add adapter-level and embedded-Postgres regressions.
## Verification
- Hermes adapter `execute.onspawn.test.ts` — 7 passed.
- Focused heartbeat normalized-error regression — 1 passed (91 skipped).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/hermes-paperclip-adapter typecheck` —
passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed.
Independent review also ran the full recovery file: the changed
regression passed; one unrelated pre-existing timing-sensitive test
timed out.
## Risks / Rollout Notes
Low risk. Fallback text is used only when a numeric nonzero exit has no
better diagnostic. Existing timeout, signal, and parsed-error precedence
remains unchanged.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex `gpt-5.6-sol` with repository inspection, test execution,
and independent read-only review.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip's company-scoped HTTP routes must reject inaccessible
resources before returning resource-specific authorization results.
> - The shared `getAccessibleResource` helper established that
invariant, but direct tool-access routes still fetched globally unique
IDs first and then returned 403 from later authorization checks.
> - A signed-in user could therefore distinguish a valid foreign-company
resource ID from an unknown ID.
> - This change applies the existing tenant-aware lookup gate
consistently across direct tool-resource routes and rejects inaccessible
OAuth state before callback-specific authorization.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- No standalone issue exists. This is a security-hardening follow-up to
#3967.
- **Observed:** a member of company A can submit a known application,
connection, profile, profile-entry, or OAuth-state ID belonging to
company B and receive a different response than for a random missing ID.
- **Expected:** missing and inaccessible foreign resources are
indistinguishable at the HTTP boundary. Signed-in instance
administrators still require company membership for company-scoped
access.
- **Reproduction:** create resources in company B, authenticate as an
owner of company A without B membership, and call the direct
`/api/tool-*` routes using B's IDs. Before this change, affected calls
returned 403 while unknown IDs returned 404.
## What Changed
- Wrapped direct application, connection, profile, and profile-entry
lookups in `server/src/routes/tool-access.ts` with the shared
`getAccessibleResource` 404 gate.
- Added tenant membership validation to OAuth callback-state lookup
before session/role checks, returning the same invalid-state response as
an unknown state.
- Expanded route regressions across connection/profile endpoint
families, including grants, usage, installs, gateway-backed test calls,
OAuth, mutations, catalog/activity reads, profile entries, and
instance-admin-without-membership access.
- Updated application update/delete expectations from cross-tenant 403
to non-enumerating 404 responses.
## Verification
After rebasing onto current `master`:
- `pnpm exec vitest run src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts` from
`server/` — 113 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — previously passed on
the same implementation; affected upstream paths were unchanged before
this mechanical rebase.
## Risks
- Low implementation risk: no schema, migration, or successful
same-company response changes.
- Intentional behavior change: inaccessible foreign tool-resource IDs
now return 404 instead of 403; inaccessible OAuth states return the same
400 body as missing/expired states.
- The gate reuses `getAccessibleResource` / `hasCompanyAccess` semantics
established by #3967.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Routines allow external systems to start recurring work through
authenticated public webhooks
> - Timestamped HMAC authentication currently verifies authenticity and
age but does not remember an accepted delivery
> - An exact signed request can therefore be reused within its replay
window, including through simultaneous duplicate delivery
> - Replay rejection must be atomic with run creation so concurrent
copies cannot both succeed
> - This pull request derives a non-secret replay identity from each
valid timestamped HMAC delivery and claims it under the existing routine
transaction lock
> - The benefit is at-most-once acceptance of an exact HMAC delivery
without changing ordinary caller-supplied idempotency semantics
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes: #9993
## What Changed
- Derive a stable, non-secret idempotency key after a timestamped HMAC
signature has been validated.
- Reject a previously claimed HMAC delivery with a conflict while
preserving coalescing for existing non-HMAC idempotency keys.
- Apply the same atomic replay claim when automatic worktree execution
is suppressed.
- Add regression coverage for sequential, concurrent, and suppressed-run
replays.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/routines-service.test.ts` —
59 tests passed.
- `pnpm typecheck` — all workspace packages passed.
- The sequential test was observed failing on unmodified `master`: the
second identical request resolved and a second run was created.
- The concurrent regression test verifies exactly one request succeeds
and only one routine run exists.
## Risks
- Low migration risk: no schema change is required; the existing
nullable routine-run idempotency field is reused.
- The routine row lock serializes replay claims, adding a small amount
of contention only while a routine run is being created.
- Replay rejection applies only to `hmac_sha256`, which carries the
timestamp needed for a bounded replay policy. Existing `github_hmac`,

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The board REST API is how operators and integrations read company
state; `GET /api/companies/:companyId` is one of its most basic reads
> - The route passes the raw path param into `companyService.getById`,
which queries the uuid-typed `companies.id` column directly
> - Any non-UUID ref — a slug, a typo, a stale bookmark — makes Postgres
throw `invalid input syntax for type uuid`, which surfaces as an HTTP
500 with a stack trace in the server log instead of a clean client error
> - A 500 for malformed client input is miscategorized: it pages
operators, pollutes error budgets, and hides the actual problem ("that
ref doesn't exist") from the caller
> - This pull request guards `getById` with a UUID check so non-UUID
refs resolve to `null` and the route returns its existing 404 path
> - The benefit is correct HTTP semantics for bad input, quieter logs,
and one less misleading 500 for self-hosters to chase
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#9962 — `GET /api/companies/:companyId` returns 500 (`invalid
input syntax for type uuid`) for non-UUID refs instead of 404. Full
repro and log excerpt in the issue.
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/companies.ts`: `getById` returns `null` early for
non-UUID refs instead of passing them to the uuid-typed query.
- `server/src/__tests__/companies-service.test.ts`: regression test —
non-UUID refs (`"tumbly-haus-creative"`, `"not-a-uuid"`, `""`) resolve
to `null` without a query error.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/companies-service.test.ts` — 12/12 pass
(new test included, embedded-postgres suite).
- Manual: `curl -i /api/companies/not-a-uuid` → 404 (was 500); `curl -i
/api/companies/<real-uuid>` → 200 unchanged.
## Risks
- Low. Pure input-validation guard on one read path; UUID lookups are
byte-for-byte unchanged. Only behavioral shift is 500→404 for refs that
could never have matched a row.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The issues-list REST endpoint (`GET
/api/companies/:companyId/issues`) backs the digester and other pollers
that ask "what changed since last time".
> - The service layer supports rich filters, but there was no
`updatedSince` filter — so every routine fire re-read the full backlog
instead of just the delta.
> - A prior commit added this filter, but it was never merged to
`master`; it only ran in production because a feature branch happened to
be the live checkout, and the behavior vanished when that directory was
repurposed.
> - This pull request re-lands just the `updatedSince` filter (route
param parse + validation, service `IssueFilters` field, and the
`updatedAt` predicate) as a single-purpose change.
> - The benefit is that pollers can request only issues updated after a
timestamp, and the fix now lives durably on `master` instead of a
transient checkout.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists; describing inline per the bug report
template.
**What happened**
`GET /api/companies/:companyId/issues` ignores an `updatedSince` query
parameter, so consumers (e.g. the digester and other pollers) cannot
request only the delta since a prior poll and must re-read the whole
backlog on every fire.
**Expected behavior**
Passing `updatedSince=<ISO 8601 timestamp>` returns only issues whose
`updatedAt` is strictly after that timestamp; a malformed value returns
`400`.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Call `GET /api/companies/:companyId/issues?updatedSince=<a future ISO
8601 timestamp>`.
2. Observe the endpoint returns the full backlog instead of an empty
list (the parameter is silently ignored).
## What Changed
- `server/src/routes/issues.ts`: parse the `updatedSince` query param,
return `400` for a non-parseable timestamp, and pass it into
`svc.list()`.
- `server/src/services/issues.ts`: add `updatedSince?: string` to
`IssueFilters` and, when present and valid, add a `gt(issues.updatedAt,
since)` condition to the list query.
- `server/src/__tests__/issue-list-updatedsince-filter-routes.test.ts`:
new route+service coverage — future timestamp returns 0 issues, a past
timestamp returns only the delta, and a malformed timestamp returns 400.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-list-updatedsince-filter-routes.test.ts` — 3/3 pass.
- `pnpm vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-list-assignee-filter-routes.test.ts` — 5/5 pass
(regression check on the sibling filter path).
- `tsc --noEmit` on `server/` — no new errors introduced (pre-existing
unrelated `plugin-sdk` build errors on `master` are untouched).
## Risks
Low risk. Purely additive: the new filter only takes effect when
`updatedSince` is supplied, so existing callers that omit it are
unaffected. Invalid timestamps fail fast with `400` rather than silently
returning all rows.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open-source control plane people use to manage AI
agents for work.
> - Routines are the subsystem that schedules recurring work and returns
routine detail to authorized company actors.
> - Routine detail embedded the complete assignee database row even
though its shared contract requires only assignee identity.
> - That full row can contain protected adapter and runtime
configuration, including environment bindings.
> - The service boundary should project only the fields the routine
contract actually needs.
> - This pull request replaces the full-row query with a company-scoped
identity projection and adds sentinel-based regression coverage.
> - The benefit is useful routine detail without exposing protected
assignee configuration.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exactly tracks this service-level exposure.
- Related prior PR: Refs #4967, an older route-level redaction approach
with broader changes and no focused routine serialization test.
- Related closed PR: Refs #5144, an unmerged prior implementation of the
same identity-projection approach.
- Related agent-route hardening: Refs #8779; that work covers direct
agent responses, while this PR removes protected fields from the routine
embed itself.
Bug details:
- Actual behavior: `GET /api/routines/{routineId}` could serialize the
complete assignee row, including protected adapter/runtime
configuration.
- Expected behavior: routine detail exposes only the assignee identity
required by `RoutineDetail`, including its derived `urlKey`.
- Reproduction: assign an agent with sentinel-only protected
configuration to a routine, retrieve routine detail, and inspect key
presence or serialize the response; no production value is needed or
recorded.
- Version/commit reproduced: upstream `master` immediately before this
PR.
- Deployment mode: service-level embedded Postgres test; the vulnerable
serializer is shared by supported deployments.
## What Changed
- Added a company-scoped assignee summary query in
`server/src/services/routines.ts` that selects only `id`, `name`,
`role`, and `title`, then derives the non-sensitive `urlKey` from the
name.
- Updated `getDetail()` to use that projection instead of selecting the
complete agent row.
- Added focused negative and positive identity assertions, including the
derived `urlKey`, in `server/src/__tests__/routines-service.test.ts`.
- Audited routine list/detail serialization and broader embedded-agent
query sites; routine list exposes only `assigneeAgentId`, while other
agent embeds use explicit projections or authorized agent endpoints.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/routines-service.test.ts` —
57/57 passed.
- Focused sentinel regression test — passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- Server, UI, and CLI builds — passed; UI gzip-size completion used a
4096 MB Node heap.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
- Full `pnpm test:run` — 2,699 passed, 1 skipped, 9 failed in untouched
tests. The failures reproduce outside this change and are limited to
local-adapter `nohup`/PTY behavior, macOS `/tmp` versus `/private/tmp`
normalization, and one workspace-runtime auto-port fixture.
## Risks
- Low compatibility risk: the returned shape now matches the existing
shared `RoutineDetail` contract.
- A consumer relying on undocumented protected agent fields inside
routine detail will stop receiving them.
- No schema, migration, deployment, credential, or production-secret
changes are included.
- Rollback is a single commit revert, but reverting would restore the
exposure.
> This is security hardening for the already-shipped routines subsystem;
`ROADMAP.md` marks Scheduled Routines complete, and this PR does not add
or duplicate roadmap feature work.

tests, TypeScript typechecking, builds, Git, and GitHub API use. The

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip validates API request bodies with Zod and converts
validation failures into client errors.
> - The global error handler recognized Zod failures with `instanceof
ZodError`.
> - Monorepo dependency layouts can provide more than one installed Zod
module instance.
> - A valid Zod error from another instance fails that identity check
and falls through as HTTP 500.
> - This pull request keeps the native path and adds a narrow structural
fallback for named Zod errors with an issues array.
> - The benefit is stable HTTP 400 validation semantics regardless of
package-instance identity.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related but not duplicate: Refs #6908. That PR catches `instanceof
ZodError` inside validation middleware and returns 422; it does not
cover errors created by a second Zod module instance, which is the
reproduced failure here.
**What happened?**
An invalid `POST /api/issues/:id/work-products` payload raised a real
Zod validation error but returned HTTP 500 because the error came from a
different Zod package instance.
**Expected behavior**
All genuine Zod validation failures return HTTP 400 with validation
details, independent of module identity.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Submit a work-product body missing the required `provider`,
`externalId`, and `url` fields.
2. Ensure the route schema is resolved from a different installed Zod
instance than the server error handler.
3. Observe HTTP 500 before this fix.
4. Observe HTTP 400 after this fix.
**Environment**
- Paperclip base: `14f20be92b86a49ff2c35495e5b0fa4d719998ef`
- Deployment: self-hosted, built from source
- Access context: board API
- Adapter scope: not adapter-specific
- [x] I searched open PRs for `ZodError`, validation errors, and
work-product validation and linked related work above.
## What Changed
- Add a narrow `readZodIssues` helper that accepts native Zod errors or
structurally valid cross-package Zod errors.
- Preserve existing HTTP 400 response shape and structured error
context.
- Add a regression for a Zod error object from another module instance.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/error-handler.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- Full upstream CI test/build/e2e matrix passed.
- Local post-deploy smoke returned HTTP 400 for the previously failing
invalid work-product payload.
## Risks
- A deliberately thrown object named `ZodError` with an `issues` array
will be treated as a client validation failure. The effect is limited to
returning HTTP 400 instead of 500; no authorization or persistence
behavior changes.
- No schema or migration changes.

## Thinking Path

work
> - Claude agents that run in a remote sandbox need a safe in-product
login path

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Agent or provider**
Claude Code setup-token login for sandbox agents.
**Why this adapter is useful**
Sandbox agents need a supported way to sign in without host credentials.
An authorized owner completes the browser step and receives the token
one time.
**How the agent is invoked**
When a sandbox provider binds the injectable transport, the server
starts `claude setup-token` through a sandbox pseudo-terminal, sends the
browser code to the matched prompt, and returns the token through the
guarded session route. The default build does not bind the transport. In
that state the start route fails closed with a fixed no-secret `503`. It
does not start a process and it does not hold a sandbox lease.
**Additional context**
The transport is injectable, so each sandbox provider binds its own
pseudo-terminal. This pull request adds the Daytona transport but does
not bind it in the production server. A production wiring needs a lease
manager, a live pseudo-terminal factory, a durable token store, and its
own security review. The route keeps secrets out of logs, activity
details, errors, telemetry, and non-owner responses.
## What Changed
- Add strict parsers for the setup-token URL, the prompt, and the
success token.
- Add a login runner that drives the `claude setup-token` command
through a pseudo-terminal.
- Add the Daytona pseudo-terminal transport and the sandbox plugin
wiring.
- Add a company-scoped, owner-bound login session service with rate
limits, a reaper, cleanup, and one-time token delivery.
- Add the guarded session routes at
`/agents/:id/setup-token-login-sessions/*` behind an injectable
transport. The routes become the live login path only when a provider
binds the transport.
- Keep the start route fail-closed in the default build. It returns a
fixed no-secret `503` and it does not bind `setupTokenLogin`.
- Keep the existing host route `POST /agents/:id/claude-login` in place.
This pull request does not replace it.
- Keep confidential responses behind a fail-closed TLS transport guard
with `Cache-Control: no-store`, and extend redaction for the new fields.
- Export the parser and the runner from the Claude local server entry,
and document the new session routes in the OpenAPI spec.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run setup-token-route
setup-token-session`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local exec vitest run`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server run typecheck`
- Confirm that the pull request checks pass on GitHub.
## Risks
- Low user-facing risk on merge. The default build does not bind the
transport, so the production start route stays fail-closed with a `503`.
The merge does not change the production login behavior.
- When a provider later binds the transport, the flow starts a live
sandbox process and holds a short-lived in-memory secret. Cleanup must
stop the child before it releases the sandbox lease.
- The transport guard fails closed when the deployment does not provide
a trusted TLS path. A wrong proxy allowlist can block a valid request.
- The production wiring is out of scope. It needs a lease manager, a
live pseudo-terminal factory, a durable token store, and its own
security review before the server binds `setupTokenLogin`.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Environments give agent runs an execution target, and their env vars
can carry secrets, so writes need a company scope for secret bindings
> - `PATCH /environments/:id` resolves that scope from a query param,
existing bindings, or a single-membership actor — and fails closed
otherwise
> - A fresh environment has no bindings yet, so an admin whose
memberships cannot pin one company gets a 422 on the very first env var
save and can never create the first binding
> - #11200 made this reachable from the UI: it opened the envVars-only
edit on the managed sandbox row, but the UI never sends the company it
already knows
> - This pull request sends the page's selected company on environment
updates and adds a server fallback to the instance's only company
> - The benefit is that the first env var save works on fresh
environments, while multi-company ambiguity still fails closed
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11200
**What happened?**
On a fresh platform-managed sandbox environment, the first "Save
environment variables" in the UI fails with HTTP 422: "Environment
secret management requires a companyId context during the
instance-scoped transition." The same failure hits any environment
update that touches `envVars` or `config` when the environment has no
secret bindings yet and the actor's memberships do not name exactly one
company (for example an instance admin provisioned without a membership
row, or a user in two companies).
**Expected behavior**
The save succeeds. The client tells the server which company scopes the
secret bindings, and on a single-company instance the server can resolve
the only possible scope by itself.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Provision a platform-managed sandbox environment (managed-config
`environments` entry) so the row exists with no secret bindings.
2. Sign in as an instance admin whose memberships do not resolve to
exactly one company.
3. Open Environments, edit the managed row, add an env var, and save.
4. The PATCH returns 422 with the companyId-context error.
## What Changed
- `ui/src/api/environments.ts`: `environmentsApi.update` accepts an
optional `companyId` and sends it as the `companyId` query param the
server already reads. Renamed the `customImageCompanyQuery` helper to
`companyIdQuery` since it now serves plain updates and probes too.
- `ui/src/pages/CompanyEnvironments.tsx`: both the managed envVars-only
save and the general environment save pass `selectedCompanyId`.
- `server/src/routes/environments.ts`:
`resolveEnvironmentSecretContextCompanyId` falls back to the instance's
only company when exactly one exists, mirroring the existing fallback in
`resolveCustomImageCompanyId`. Multi-company instances still fail
closed.
- Tests: three new route tests (explicit query context for a
multi-company actor, single-company-instance fallback for a
membership-less admin, fail-closed regression on a multi-company
instance), and updated the SSH-probe and probe-ambiguity tests for the
new fallback.
## Verification
- `cd server && pnpm vitest run
src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts` — 78 pass.
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run src/pages/CompanyEnvironments.test.tsx` — 22
pass.
- Full `server` and `ui` vitest suites and `tsc --noEmit` on both
packages pass locally.
- Manual: on a managed instance, edit the managed sandbox environment,
add an env var, save. Before: 422. After: the save persists and the
PATCH carries `?companyId=`.
## Risks
- Low risk. The explicit query param path already existed on the server;
the UI now uses it.
- Behavioral shift: on single-company instances, environment
secret-context resolution (including `POST /environments/:id/probe`) now
resolves the only company instead of returning no context. That lets
probes resolve secret-backed config where they previously returned a 422
asking for an explicit companyId. Multi-company instances keep the
fail-closed behavior, covered by a regression test.
- Self-hosted single-company instances gain the same first-save fix; no
schema or config changes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs: #10806
**What happened?**
The workspace-busy test read the retry row after the first deferral
write. The helper returned before the scheduled-retry insert completed.
The read then returned no row and failed the retry assertions.
**Expected behavior**
The test must wait until the scheduled-retry row exists before it checks
retry-row fields. The production write order must stay unchanged.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Add a 300 ms delay between the deferral writes.
2. Run `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-busy.test.ts`.
3. Observe failures at retry-row presence checks.
4. Add the bounded polling helper.
5. Run the test file again and observe that all presence checks pass.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit `d9b6e8a6e62b9b56919fc9c52d294e8ac569f70f`.
**Deployment mode**
Local test run from source.
## What Changed
- Add `waitForRetryRun`, which polls for the retry row with a 10 second
timeout and a 50 millisecond interval.
- Use the helper at every test site that reads a retry row after
deferral.
- Keep direct reads at absence assertions.
- Keep production code unchanged.
## Verification
- Injected a temporary 300 millisecond delay between the two production
writes and reproduced the five presence-site failures.
- Applied the helper with the delay and passed the test file 15 out of
15 times.
- Removed the temporary production delay.
- Ran the changed test file 25 consecutive times with 0 failures.
- Ran TypeScript checks for the changed test file with no errors.
## Risks
Low risk. This pull request changes test code only. The helper has a
bounded timeout. Production behavior and retry-row assertions remain
unchanged.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, reasoning mode, tool use, and code execution. The
runtime does not expose the context window size.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The UI receives live run/issue events over a websocket at
`/api/companies/:id/events/ws`; the server authorizes upgrades with a
bearer token or a Better Auth session
> - On a cloud-managed deployment, browsers authenticate through trusted
`x-paperclip-cloud-*` headers injected by the managing front door — they
never hold a local Better Auth session, and the Express middleware lane
that understands those headers is not consulted for websocket upgrades
> - Every browser websocket upgrade behind the front door therefore
resolves no identity and is rejected 403: the live-events socket has
never connected on a managed instance, leaving permanent reconnect churn
and console failure noise while the UI silently degrades to polling
> - This pull request adds a cloud-actor lane to the upgrade
authorization, reusing the same trusted-header resolver the HTTP
middleware uses
> - The benefit is working realtime updates on managed instances, an end
to the reconnect churn, and unchanged self-hosted behavior
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue. Description follows the bug template:
**What happened?**
On a cloud-managed instance, the browser console shows `WebSocket
connection to 'wss://…/api/companies/<id>/events/ws' failed:` repeating
indefinitely for every company, on a healthy instance. The server
rejects each upgrade with 403 because `authorizeUpgrade` in
`server/src/realtime/live-events-ws.ts` only knows bearer tokens and
Better Auth sessions, while cloud-proxied browsers authenticate via
`x-paperclip-cloud-*` trusted headers (handled only by the Express
`actorMiddleware` lane in `server/src/middleware/auth.ts`).
**Expected behavior**
A browser that authenticates through the trusted cloud headers can open
the live-events websocket for any company in its membership scope,
exactly as it can call the HTTP API for those companies.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run Paperclip in `authenticated` mode behind a proxy that injects the
`x-paperclip-cloud-*` headers with a valid
`PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_TENANT_SERVER_TOKEN`.
2. Load any company page in a browser (no local Better Auth session).
3. HTTP API calls succeed; every `/events/ws` upgrade is rejected 403
and the UI retries forever.
## What Changed
- `server/src/middleware/auth.ts`: `resolveCloudTenantActor` now accepts
a minimal `CloudActorHeaderSource` (`header(name)`) instead of an
Express `Request` — `Request` satisfies it unchanged — plus
`cloudActorHeaderSourceFromHeaders` to adapt raw
`IncomingMessage.headers`.
- `server/src/realtime/live-events-ws.ts`: `authorizeUpgrade` gains an
injected `resolveCloudActor` lane, tried before the Better Auth session
fallback in `authenticated` mode. A resolved cloud actor is
authoritative: the upgrade is authorized only for a company in the
actor's membership scope (`companyIds`, the same scope the HTTP lane
grants). Absent/unresolvable cloud headers fall through to the session
path.
- `server/src/index.ts`: wires `resolveCloudActor` through
`resolveCloudTenantActor` + the header shim. The resolver self-gates:
without `PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_TENANT_SERVER_TOKEN` and a matching trust token
it returns null, so self-hosted deployments never take this path.
- Tests: upgrade authorized for an in-scope company (session resolver
not consulted), rejected for an out-of-scope company, fall-through to
session auth when no cloud actor resolves; header-shim resolution from a
raw lowercased header map including `string[]` values.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/live-events-ws.test.ts
server/src/middleware/cloud-tenant-actor.test.ts` — 25 tests pass.
- `pnpm typecheck` in `server/` — clean.
- Not verified live end-to-end: that requires a managed instance running
this build; the direct probe evidence (HTTP authenticated fine, every WS
upgrade 403) matches the code path exactly.
## Risks
Low risk. The new lane only activates when the deployment configures the
cloud trust token and the request presents it; both checks already
protect the HTTP lane. Authorization scope is the same `companyIds` set
the HTTP middleware computes (primary stack company plus the user's real
membership rows). The cloud resolver's user/company materialization
writes are debounced (existing behavior shared with the HTTP lane), so
websocket reconnect storms do not amplify database writes. Self-hosted
instances see no behavioral change, covered by the fall-through test.
## Model Used
- Claude (Anthropic), Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`), via Claude Code
CLI with extended thinking and tool use (code search, edit, test
execution; diagnosis included live websocket handshake probes against a
managed instance).

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server coordinates issue work and heartbeat runs.
> - The onboarding first-task route sends an assignment wake in the
background.
> - The route test removes related database rows during teardown.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The onboarding first-task route sent a background assignment wake. The
test teardown removed parent rows before the wake-created heartbeat rows
finished.
**Expected behavior**
The test teardown should wait for the background wake and remove
heartbeat rows before it removes their parent rows.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the onboarding first-task route test.
2. Repeat the test many times.
3. Observe an intermittent foreign-key error during teardown.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit `c30fe965920eeb7e7fb88e17574a65bed8fc01a4`.
**Deployment mode**
Local dev (pnpm dev).
**Installation method**
Built from source (pnpm dev / pnpm build).
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core bug).
**Database mode**
Embedded PGlite (default — DATABASE_URL unset).
## What Changed
- Stub the server adapter in the route test so the dispatched run
finishes at once.
- Drain heartbeat runs to quiescence before teardown.
- Delete heartbeat runs and child rows before their parent rows.
- Delete runtime state and company skill rows in foreign-key order.
- Keep the route behavior and all three test assertions unchanged.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-onboarding-first-task-routes.test.ts` from the
`server` package.
- The author ran the suite 25 times with 25 passes.
- The suite reproduced the teardown foreign-key error before this
change.
## Risks
Low risk. This change affects one test file and does not change product
code or route behavior.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5. The model used tool calls and code review assistance. The
exact context window and reasoning mode were not exposed in this run.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server runs a scheduled reaper that archives terminal workspaces
after it checks their state.
> - The reaper reads candidates in `updatedAt` order and skips
candidates that do not qualify for archive.
> - The fixed page kept the same skipped candidates at the front, so the
reaper did not inspect later eligible workspaces.
> - This pull request adds a keyset cursor and a throttled log for
sweeps that archive no workspace.
> - The benefit is that the reaper inspects all candidates over time and
reports an inert sweep.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The terminal workspace reaper inspected a fixed page of old candidates.
Ineligible candidates stayed in that page, so the reaper skipped later
eligible workspaces on every sweep.
**Expected behavior**
The reaper must inspect each candidate over time and archive every
eligible terminal workspace.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create more than 50 terminal workspace candidates.
2. Keep the oldest page ineligible for archive.
3. Place an eligible workspace after that page.
4. Run repeated reaper sweeps.
5. Observe that the later eligible workspace remains unarchived.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit `3efdf555e6e14a46747c796c3c554438bfc03261`.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with the server test suite.
**Installation method**
Built from source.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core bug).
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
## What Changed
- Add a keyset cursor that uses `(updatedAt, id)` order across reaper
pages.
- Reset the cursor at the end of the candidate set so the next sweep
starts at the beginning.
- Add a throttled log when a sweep inspects candidates but archives
none.
- Add regression tests for archive delivery and starvation.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts` — 45 tests pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts` — 16 tests pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — clean.
## Risks
Low risk. The change affects only candidate paging and the related
reaper log. The cursor resets after the candidate set, so the sweep
remains periodic.
## Model Used
Codex, OpenAI GPT-5, extended reasoning, tool use, and code execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents for work.
> - Agent adapters connect Paperclip to tools such as the Codex command
line tool.
> - A sandboxed Codex agent may start without a credential.
> - The operator needs a safe sign-in flow that does not expose
credentials to the shared package or the sandbox.
> - This pull request adds a company-scoped device-login flow with a
temporary Daytona sandbox.
> - The flow promotes the credential only after readiness checks pass
and removes the temporary sandbox after use.
> - The result lets an operator sign in to a sandboxed Codex agent from
the agent form.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (multiple of the above)
**Problem or motivation**
A Codex adapter that runs in a sandbox cannot authenticate when the
company has no pre-provisioned Codex credential.
**Proposed solution**
Add a company-scoped device-login session. Start a temporary sandbox,
run `codex login --device-auth`, stream the code and URL, verify
readiness, promote the credential, and delete the sandbox.
**Alternatives considered**
Pre-provisioning a credential does not support first-time sandbox login.
Keeping the credential in the login sandbox does not provide a durable
company credential.
**Roadmap alignment**
This supports the roadmap item for cloud and sandbox agents.
**Additional context**
The flow uses a five-minute cleanup reaper, compare-and-set status
changes, and a PostgreSQL advisory lock to protect promotion and
cleanup.
## What Changed
- Add the adapter login-session contract, database table, and migration.
- Add company-scoped server routes and a service for sandbox device
login.
- Add credential promotion, readiness checks, and cleanup after login.
- Add restart-safe cleanup for abandoned login sandboxes.
- Add sandbox login controls to the agent creation and edit forms.
- Keep device-login and vendor identifiers out of public shared and
adapter UI symbols.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local exec vitest run`
passed with 310 tests at the submitted commit.
- The server login route, service, and reaper tests passed with 45 tests
at the submitted commit.
- The agent form render tests passed with 26 tests at the submitted
commit.
- The public-symbol leak check passed at the submitted commit.
- A live Daytona sign-in flow still requires confirmation by a user with
a live sandbox.
## Risks
The migration adds a new company-scoped table. A promotion or cleanup
race could remove a credential or leave a sandbox active, so the service
uses claims, compare-and-set transitions, and an advisory lock. The live
Daytona flow needs operator confirmation because local tests do not
provide a real browser sign-in.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution, extended reasoning.

## Thinking Path

work

providers (Daytona, E2B, Novita, exe.dev) run as plugin workers

its process env var (for example `DAYTONA_API_KEY`)

never sees the host env var — probe and lease acquisition fail with
"require an API key in config or DAYTONA_API_KEY" even when the
deployment sets the var
> - Separately, the managed-sandbox-only mode hides local rows from
every list, but the instance Default picker renders a hardcoded
synthetic "Local" option that no filter touches
> - This pull request forwards each bundled provider's documented
credential env var to its own plugin worker, and gates the synthetic
Local option on the flag
> - The benefit is that the documented host-env credential fallback
works for plugin-backed providers, and managed-sandbox-only instances no
longer offer Local anywhere
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Plugin worker environment construction
(`server/src/services/plugin-loader.ts`) and the environments UI
(instance Default picker, agent form inherited-environment label).
**Problem or motivation**
Two follow-ups to the managed-sandbox-only mode (#11200), both found on
a live managed deployment:
1. The deployment sets `DAYTONA_API_KEY` as a server env var and the
managed sandbox row omits `config.apiKey` by contract. "Test Connection"
fails with `Sandbox environment probe failed for provider "daytona".
Daytona sandbox environments require an API key in config or
DAYTONA_API_KEY.` A real agent run fails the same way at lease
acquisition. The cause: sandbox providers run as plugin workers, and
`buildPluginWorkerEnv` passes only model-provider keys and in-cluster
Kubernetes vars. The provider's own documented credential env var never
reaches the worker, so the in-plugin `process.env` fallback reads
nothing. The self-hosted path has the same gap: the Daytona plugin
README documents `DAYTONA_API_KEY` as a host-level fallback, and it does
not work today.
2. With `enableManagedSandboxOnly` on, the instance Default environment
picker still shows "Local". The server filters local *rows* out of the
list, and the client filter mirrors that for cached lists, but this
option is a hardcoded `<option value="">Local</option>` — not a list row
— so no filter removes it. Selecting it writes a null default, which run
selection then rejects fail-closed.
**Proposed solution**
Forward each bundled sandbox provider's documented credential env var
into its plugin worker, keyed by the manifest's declared
`environmentDrivers[].driverKey` so a worker only receives its own
provider's credential (daytona → `DAYTONA_API_KEY`, e2b → `E2B_API_KEY`,
exe-dev → `EXE_API_KEY`, novita → `NOVITA_API_KEY`). Keep the existing
gate: only plugins that declare `environment.drivers.register` receive
any passthrough. In the UI, render the synthetic Local option only when
managed-sandbox-only is off; under the flag show a disabled "Select
environment" placeholder only while no default is stamped yet, and stop
the agent form's inherited label from reading "Local".
**Alternatives considered**
Adding `DAYTONA_API_KEY` to the existing `ADAPTER_ENV_PASSTHROUGH` list
was rejected: that list goes to every environment-driver plugin, so each
provider would receive every other provider's credential. A manifest
schema field for declared credential env vars was rejected as heavier
than needed: the bundled providers are known, and the mapping lives next
to the two existing passthrough lists.
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/plugin-loader.ts`: new
`SANDBOX_PROVIDER_CREDENTIAL_ENV_PASSTHROUGH` map (driverKey →
documented credential env vars). `buildPluginWorkerEnv` reads the
manifest's `environmentDrivers` and forwards only the matching vars,
after the existing `environment.drivers.register` gate. Blank values
stay excluded.
- `server/src/__tests__/plugin-database.test.ts`: the daytona worker
receives `DAYTONA_API_KEY` and not another provider's key; a plugin
whose drivers have no mapping (kubernetes) receives no credential var.
- `ui/src/pages/CompanyEnvironments.tsx`: the Default picker's synthetic
Local option renders only when managed-sandbox-only is off. Under the
flag, a disabled "Select environment" placeholder renders only while the
default is unset.
- `ui/src/pages/CompanyEnvironments.test.tsx`: the Local option is
present by default and absent under the flag; saved non-local
environments stay selectable.
- `ui/src/components/AgentConfigForm.tsx`: the inherited-environment
label falls back to "Managed sandbox" instead of "Local" under the flag.
## Verification
- `server`: `npx vitest run src/__tests__/plugin-database.test.ts -t
buildPluginWorkerEnv` — 5 passed (3 existing, 2 new).
- `ui`: `npx vitest run src/pages/CompanyEnvironments.test.tsx` — 22
passed (2 new); `npx vitest run
src/components/AgentConfigForm.render.test.tsx` — 10 passed.
- `tsc --noEmit` clean in `server` and `ui`.
- Live managed deployment: confirmed the tenant service env carries
`DAYTONA_API_KEY` while the probe fails with the exact message above,
which pins the root cause to the worker env, not delivery.
## Risks
- The worker env grows by exactly one var per matching bundled provider,
only when the deployment sets it and only for plugins that declare a
matching environment driver. Plugins without a mapping see no change.
- Self-hosted behavioral shift is the fix itself: a host-level
`DAYTONA_API_KEY` (or E2B/EXE/NOVITA equivalent) now reaches the
provider as its README documents. Deployments that set the var but
expected it to stay inert had no working configuration to preserve — the
provider errored on every keyless probe and run.
- UI change is inert unless `enableManagedSandboxOnly` is on (default
false everywhere).
## Model Used

tool use, parallel read-only subagents for the two root-cause traces.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The previous pull request added server-side chunked resumable import
transfers; without clients, large imports still ride the single fragile
upload
> - The Import page and the CLI need to slice large packages, upload
parts with retry and progress, resume after interruptions, and preview
before applying

Import page to the chunked path for zips over 48 MB, and teaches the CLI
the same for oversized local imports
> - The benefit is that large imports get progress, per-part retry, and
resume in both clients, while small imports keep the exact single-shot
path they have today
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
With only the server transfer routes in place, users still upload large
company packages as one request from the Import page and the CLI: no
progress indication, no retry below the whole file, and no resume after
a dropped connection or refresh. The preview-then-import flow also
cannot run against an uploaded transfer, forcing a second full upload.
**Expected behavior**
A large package uploads once as verified parts with visible progress;
preview and import both run against the uploaded spool; an interrupted
upload resumes with only the missing parts re-sent; packages at or below
48 MB behave exactly as before.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Select a 500 MB zip on the Import page over an unreliable connection.
2. Watch the single upload fail near the end and restart from zero,
twice — once for preview, once for import.
3. Same story headless via the CLI.
## What Changed
- Server: `POST /import/transfers/:id/preview` runs the existing preview
logic against the completed spool (shared assembly + whole-file
verification helper with apply); preview neither completes the run nor
deletes the spool, so the subsequent apply reuses it. Missing parts
respond with the missing list.
- UI: zips over 48 MB take the chunked path in both preview and import —
the file is sliced into 32 MB parts hashed with WebCrypto (single
ArrayBuffer, no second copy), the transfer is created or resumed (the
create response's missing-parts list drives what uploads), parts upload
sequentially with three attempts each and visible progress, then
transfer preview/apply replace the multipart calls. The existing preview
pane, collision handling, adapter overrides, and async job polling are
unchanged; ≤ 48 MB keeps the single-shot path.
- CLI: oversized local `.zip` or folder imports zip/slice/hash with node
crypto, upload with resume and per-part retry and progress lines, and
use transfer preview/apply. Small packages keep the inline path
byte-identical.
- Failure honesty: adapters/API errors fail open to existing behavior; a
part failing all attempts surfaces a durable error panel with resume
intact.
## Verification
- Server: preview-then-apply on one spool (run stays open, spool intact,
then apply completes), preview with missing parts rejected — added to
the transfer route suite (embedded Postgres).
- UI suite: large file takes the chunked path (manifest shape, part
uploads, progress, apply on a resumed transfer, single-shot endpoints
never called), small file stays single-shot, part failure after three
attempts surfaces the error panel without running preview, resume
re-uploads only the missing part.
- CLI: manifest slicing/hashing, threshold behavior for zip and folder
sources, folder-zip round-trip through the real zip reader, upload
resume/retry/exhaustion/already-completed, full-command chunked and
small-zip inline flows.
- Server, ui, cli typechecks clean. Exact counts in the PR checks.
## Risks
- The 48 MB threshold only routes between two verified paths; behavior
below it is untouched.
- Chunked CLI imports use the board-scoped transfer routes, so oversized
CLI imports need board credentials (agent tokens keep the agent-safe
small-file path). No privilege change — board actors already had the
generic routes — but the two size regimes differ semantically; called
out for review.
- A CLI dry-run over the threshold uploads parts before previewing; the
spool persists (24 h sweep) and a later apply resumes without re-upload
— inherent to preview-against-spool.
Stacked on #11223 — merge that first; this PR then shows only the
preview endpoint and client changes.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Company import moves large packages into an instance, and since the
upload cap rose to 1 GB, the transport is the weak point: one HTTP
request, buffered fully in memory, with no resume
> - A dropped connection at 90% of an 800 MB upload starts the whole
transfer over, and a server restart loses all progress
> - This pull request adds the server side of chunked resumable import
transfers: a durable run ledger and routes that accept the same import
zip as verified ~32 MB parts spooled to disk
> - An interrupted transfer resumes from the parts already uploaded —
across dropped connections, page refreshes, and server restarts — and
peak upload memory drops from the whole package to one part
> - The benefit is that large imports become reliable on real-world
connections instead of all-or-nothing
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Large company imports travel as a single HTTP upload. On a slow or flaky
connection, any interruption discards all progress and the upload
restarts from zero. The server buffers the entire compressed package in
memory during upload. A server restart mid-upload loses the transfer
entirely. With the upload cap now at 1 GB, these failure modes govern
exactly the imports the cap was raised for.
**Expected behavior**
A large import upload survives interruptions: already-transferred data
is kept and verified, only the missing remainder is re-sent, and the
server's memory use during upload is bounded by a part, not the package.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Import a multi-hundred-MB company package over a connection that
drops mid-upload.
2. The upload fails; retrying starts from byte zero.
3. Repeat on an unstable connection and the import may never complete.
## What Changed
- New `company_transfer_runs` table (drizzle schema + migration) and
`companyTransferRunService`: one row per transfer with a content-derived
idempotency key, per-part completion recorded atomically and
idempotently, resume scoped to actor and direction, completed runs
short-circuiting retries of identical content.
- New transfer routes beside the existing import routes, same
authorization: declare a sliced zip (`POST /import/transfers` —
validates cap, 64 MB part ceiling, contiguity, size sums, sha256
format), upload parts (`PUT .../parts/:n` — raw body, hash-and-size
verified before an atomic write to a disk spool under the instance root;
re-uploads are no-op successes), poll resume state (`GET .../:id` —
missing parts recomputed from disk), and apply (`POST .../:id/apply` —
requires all parts, re-verifies the assembled zip against the whole-file
hash fail-closed, then feeds the existing import pipeline through
factored helpers rather than duplicated logic).
- Hourly sweep fails and cleans spools idle for 24 h; a swept transfer
honestly reports all parts missing on resume.
- Strict UUID gating on run ids before any filesystem path construction.
- The existing single-shot upload path is untouched; clients arrive in
the follow-up PR.
## Verification
- Transfer route suite (embedded Postgres): create/upload/status/apply
round-trip with a real imported company, out-of-order parts, wrong-hash
part rejected and unrecorded, re-upload no-op, apply-with-missing-parts
rejection, resume after failure with prior progress intact,
assembled-hash mismatch failing closed with spool deletion, actor
scoping 404s, async-job apply, sweep followed by honest resume.
- Ledger suite (embedded Postgres): part idempotency, actor/direction
scoping, completed-run short-circuit, cancelled runs staying cancelled.
- Existing portability route suite unchanged and green; server + db
typechecks clean. Exact counts in the PR checks.
## Risks
- New routes are additive; the existing import path is untouched. The
transfer routes carry the same board authorization as the import routes
they sit beside.
- Disk spool: bounded by the existing upload cap per transfer, cleaned
on success, failure, hash mismatch, and by the 24 h sweep. Spool paths
are strict-UUID-gated.
- The apply step still materializes the assembled zip in memory once
(same profile as today's single-shot import at apply time); upload-time
memory drops to one part.
- Known limitation, deliberate: transfers are keyed on content alone, so
identical package content cannot be imported twice without re-exporting
(surfaced explicitly to the caller). Acceptable for v1; noted for
review.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The issue detail page is a core operator surface where perceived
latency directly affects task navigation

can be compared against the same scenarios

first useful content
> - There was also no isolated seeded browser rig that measured warm

Playwright baseline harness

with reproducible median measurements instead of anecdotes
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: `ui/`, `server/`, and browser performance tooling.
**Problem or motivation**
The issue detail page performs a large client bootstrap and request
fan-out, but the repository lacks stable user-timing boundaries and a
repeatable benchmark. That makes performance changes difficult to
compare and allows regressions to be judged from anecdotes instead of
consistent evidence.
**Proposed solution**
Add stable header/content paint measures, development/QA-only lifecycle
vital reporting, aggregate server timing for the issue endpoint, and a
seeded Playwright command that runs warm/cold scenarios under throttled
and unthrottled profiles with N≥5 median reporting.
**Alternatives considered**
Ad hoc DevTools recordings were rejected because they are not repeatable
or reviewable. Production telemetry was rejected because this baseline
should not change production data collection. A unit-only harness was
rejected because it cannot capture browser bootstrap, rendering, and
network waterfall costs.
**Roadmap alignment**
The roadmap calls for agent performance to be measurable over time. This
change applies that evidence-first principle to a core operator page and
does not duplicate a listed roadmap deliverable.
**Additional context**
The generated report includes warm and cold medians, TTFB/FCP/LCP where
applicable, request and byte totals before first useful content,
JavaScript bytes, and issue endpoint server timing.
## What Changed
- Added `issue-detail:navigate→header-paint` and
`issue-detail:navigate→content-paint` user-timing measures to the issue
detail page.
- Added development/QA-only TTFB, LCP, and INP console reporting without
production telemetry delivery.
- Added `Server-Timing` for `GET /api/issues/:id`.
- Added `pnpm exec playwright test --config
tests/perf/issue-detail/playwright.config.ts`, which seeds an isolated
instance and runs N≥5 warm/cold samples under unthrottled and Fast 4G/4x
CPU profiles.
- Added Markdown, raw JSON, and Chrome-trace outputs with median
baseline tables and waterfall data.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `npx playwright test --config
tests/perf/issue-detail/playwright.config.ts --list`
- `pnpm exec playwright test --config
tests/perf/issue-detail/playwright.config.ts` — passed 20 samples in 9.4
minutes (5 runs × 2 scenarios × 2 profiles) for the baseline;
post-review integrity reruns also exercised the corrected paths, while
this shared runner intermittently killed Chromium processes, so the rig
now performs one bounded browser-crash retry per sample.
- Baseline medians: warm unthrottled 278/447 ms header/content; cold
unthrottled 646/646 ms; warm throttled 1240/2060 ms; cold throttled
3932/3933 ms.
## Risks
- Low product risk: the new browser measurements are development/QA
tooling and the UI timing work does not change visible layout.
- `Server-Timing` exposes only aggregate handler duration, not query
contents or private identifiers.
- Native INP reporting uses supported browser event timing entries and
silently no-ops where unsupported.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Environments give each agent run an execution target: the local
host, SSH, or a sandbox provider
> - A managed deployment can provision one platform-managed sandbox
environment through the `PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG` `environments`
section
> - That row is fully locked today. A tenant cannot add environment
variables for their agents. There is also no way to hide local execution
— run selection falls back to the local row
> - A platform that manages the sandbox for its tenants needs both: the
tenant adds env vars (and nothing else), and local execution is neither
visible nor reachable
> - This pull request opens exactly one tenant edit (env vars) on the
managed sandbox row, and adds an `enableManagedSandboxOnly` mode that
hides local and makes run selection fail closed
> - The benefit is a complete managed-sandbox experience with no change
for self-hosted instances
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Environments (managed sandbox provisioning, environment routes, run
environment selection) and the environments UI.
**Problem or motivation**
Platform-provisioned sandbox environments
(`metadata.managedByPaperclip`) reject every write on cloud-managed
instances. Agents often need environment variables inside their sandbox.
The tenant has no way to set them on the managed row. Separately, an
operator cannot remove local execution: the environment list always
shows the local row, and run selection falls back to it when no default
is set.
**Proposed solution**
Allow an envVars-only PATCH on the managed sandbox row, and echo those
env vars back for editing. Add a managed-tier feature
(`enableManagedSandboxOnly`) that hides the local environment from all
read surfaces and redirects local-landing run selection to the managed
sandbox environment, failing closed when it is unavailable.
**Alternatives considered**
UI-only hiding of the local row. This was rejected: it does not stop a
run from resolving to local, so it is presentation without enforcement.
Full unlock of the managed row was also rejected: name, driver, and
config stay platform-owned so boot reconciliation cannot fight tenant
edits.
## What Changed
- `server/src/routes/environments.ts`: the platform-provisioned write
floor admits an envVars-only PATCH on the generalized managed sandbox
row (sandbox driver, `managedByPaperclip`, not legacy kubernetes-marker
rows). Name, driver, config, status, metadata, and DELETE stay rejected.
The read floor stops blanking env vars on that row; credential-shaped
config keys stay redacted for every actor. Legacy kubernetes-marker rows
keep the full floor.
- Same file: under `enableManagedSandboxOnly`, the environments list and
the by-id read omit the local row for every actor, including instance
admins.
- `server/src/services/execution-workspace-policy.ts`:
`resolveExecutionWorkspaceEnvironmentId` gains the managed-sandbox-only
inputs. A selection that lands on the local environment is redirected to
the managed sandbox environment. With no active managed row it throws
`ManagedSandboxUnavailableError` — never local. Non-local selections
(ssh, user-created sandboxes) are untouched.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`: the run path reads the flag, looks
up the managed row (`findManagedSandboxEnvironment`, new read-only
finder in `environments.ts`), and passes both to the resolver. Mirrors
the forced-kubernetes precedent, which keeps precedence when both
regimes are on.
- `server/src/services/managed-environments.ts`: after a successful
reconcile, the instance default environment moves to the managed sandbox
row when the current default is unset, local, or dangling. A
tenant-chosen custom environment is never overridden.
- `packages/shared`: new `enableManagedSandboxOnly` key (schema default
false, catalog tier `managed`, cloudDefault false, selfHostedDefault
false) and the matching interface field.
- UI: managed rows show a "Managed by Paperclip" lock badge; editing one
opens a dedicated env-vars-only editor that sends the one PATCH shape
the server admits (the old full form failed with a 403 on save). New
`ui/src/lib/managed-sandbox-environment.ts` mirrors the local filter for
cached lists (applied in the project picker; the agent picker already
excluded local). The experimental settings page gains the toggle at its
alphabetical card position. `environmentsApi.update` now declares the
`envVars` field it already sent.
- Tests: environment route floor coverage (envVars-only accepted, mixed
bodies rejected, legacy rows still blanked and locked, local hidden and
404 under the flag, self-hosted unchanged), an embedded-postgres service
test pinning that boot reconciliation never touches tenant env vars,
resolver redirect/fail-closed cases, managed-environments
default-stamping cases, and UI lib/settings tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/environment-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/execution-workspace-policy.test.ts
src/services/managed-environments.test.ts` — all pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared exec vitest run` — 425 pass
(catalog/schema default parity is pinned by an existing test).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec tsc --noEmit` and the affected UI
suites (CompanyEnvironments, InstanceExperimentalSettings incl.
card-order test, new lib test) — all pass.
- Full workspace `pnpm test`: 3,414 passed. 17 files report failures on
this machine; the identical 17 fail on a clean `origin/master` worktree
in the same environment (git-worktree/skills/embedded-postgres
environment dependencies and plugin-SDK zero-test collections). One
additional file (`issue-monitor-scheduler.test.ts`) failed one
timing-sensitive test in one of two full-suite runs and passes 7/7 in
isolation on this branch — a flake in a domain this diff does not touch.
The branch introduces no new failures.
- Self-hosted zero-delta: every new behavior is gated on the
cloud-managed instance check or the new flag, which defaults to false in
schema and catalog; pinned by the "does not floor platform-marked rows
on self-hosted instances" and flag-off tests.
## Risks
- Behavior is opt-in twice over: the write-floor exception applies only
to rows the managed-config provisioner stamps, and the hiding/forcing
applies only when `enableManagedSandboxOnly` is on (default false
everywhere). Self-hosted instances see no change.
- The env-vars echo is scoped to the generalized managed sandbox row;
legacy kubernetes-marker rows keep the blanket floor because
pre-generalization builds may have written platform values there.
- Fail-closed run selection means a managed instance with the flag on
and an archived managed row (provider plugin down) refuses runs with a
precise error instead of running locally. That is the intended posture.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to coordinate
AI-agent work
> - Opening an issue fans out into several authenticated issue-detail
reads, so repeated work on that path directly affects perceived latency
> - Those reads repeated issue and authorization lookups, returned full
private JSON even when unchanged, and performed non-critical bookkeeping
writes on the request path
> - Interaction reads also performed lifecycle writes even though `GET`
must be read-only
> - This pull request adds request-scoped reuse, private conditional
responses, read-only interaction access, and bounded write debouncing
without crossing actor, request, or company boundaries
> - The result is less database, serialization, logging, and
response-body work while preserving authorization and interaction
lifecycle invariants
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This is the server-only latency phase. Related work is tracked
separately in #10415 (aggregate view), #10416 (warm navigation, merged
into the base), and #10463 (bundle split). This pull request
intentionally excludes those scopes.
**What happened?**
Opening an issue detail view caused avoidable server costs: repeated
issue and authorization reads within one request, full private JSON
responses when a representation was unchanged, writes during
interaction-list reads, production debug transport setup, and immediate
bookkeeping writes for cloud tenant activity and board-key usage.
**Expected behavior**
All successful JSON `GET /api/issues/:id/*` responses should support
strong private ETags and `304 Not Modified`. Repeated work may be reused
only within the current request. `GET /interactions` must not modify
stored interactions. Non-critical activity timestamps may be debounced
without weakening authentication or stale instance-admin cleanup.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start Paperclip in local development or self-hosted server mode.
2. Open one issue and request its detail subresources with the same
authenticated actor.
3. Repeat a successful JSON request with its `ETag` in `If-None-Match`.
4. Observe `304 Not Modified`, no interaction writes from `GET
/interactions`, and unchanged authorization boundaries.
**Deployment mode / installation**
- Local development or self-hosted server
- Built from source
- Core server behavior; not adapter-specific
## What Changed
- Added strong ETags and `Cache-Control: private, must-revalidate` to
successful JSON reads under `/api/issues/:id/*`, including
standards-compliant `If-None-Match` handling.
- Added request-scoped promise memoization for issue and authorization
lookups; no authorization result survives the request.
- Made `GET /interactions` read-only, moved supersession and
terminal-state handling to mutation paths, and prevented plugin callers
from accepting or rejecting interactions after an issue closes.
- Removed the production debug-file logger transport while preserving
development formatting.
- Debounced cloud-tenant activity and board-key `lastUsedAt`
persistence, while keeping stale instance-admin deletion unconditional
and authentication checks per request.
- Added focused tests for ETags, request isolation, authorization
lifecycle behavior, interaction invariants, logger configuration, and
retry-safe debounce behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/private-json-etag.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interaction-routes.test.ts` — 2 files,
23 tests passed.
- Focused Vitest run covering request memoization, authorization,
interactions, plugin orchestration, logger, cloud tenant, board auth,
and issue services — 9 files, 264 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed.
- Scope guardrails: 21 changed files under `server/src`; no lockfile,
workflow, migration, UI, aggregate-view, or bundle-split changes.
## Risks
- Strong ETags hash each successful serialized JSON response. This adds
a small CPU cost but avoids transferring unchanged bodies.
- Debounced bookkeeping timestamps can lag by the bounded debounce
interval. They are non-critical usage metadata; authentication still
runs per request, and stale instance-admin deletion remains
unconditional.
- Legacy pending interactions on terminal issues are projected as
expired by reads and are finalized only by mutation paths. The stored
record remains unchanged on `GET` by design.
- No database schema or migration changes are included.
> This is a focused performance correction and does not duplicate a
planned core feature in `ROADMAP.md`.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex using `gpt-5.3-codex` for the initial implementation and
`gpt-5.6-sol` for isolation, verification, and PR preparation, with
reasoning, repository tool use, code execution, and GitHub CLI access.
The runtimes did not expose authoritative context-window sizes.

AI-agent companies and their work

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
An agent received `403 inbox_cross_user_grant_required` when it archived
an issue with an explicit `userId`. The denial occurred even when that
user had enabled inbox management for the agent in Profile Settings. The
authorization service checked only `principal_permission_grants` for
explicit targets and ignored the saved user inbox policy.
**Expected behavior**
An explicit target is allowed when the target user saved an `open`
policy or an allowlist that contains the agent. An unsaved default-open
policy must remain limited to the responsible-user path. A scoped
`inbox:manage` grant must remain an administrative override.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Save an inbox-agent allowlist for a user.
2. Include the acting agent in that allowlist.
3. Call `POST /api/issues/{issueId}/inbox-archive` with that user's
explicit `userId`.
4. Observe the incorrect `403 inbox_cross_user_grant_required` response
on the previous implementation.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced on `7ea2068ef8`.
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted server.
**Installation method**
Built from source with pnpm.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific. This is a core authorization bug.
**Database mode**
External Postgres in production. The regression tests use embedded
PostgreSQL.
**Access context**
Agent bearer authentication.
Related foundations: #9658 and #9724.
## What Changed
- Read the target user's saved inbox-agent policy before the
explicit-target decision.
- Allow saved `open` policies and matching allowlists for explicit
targets.
- Keep unsaved implicit-open policies responsible-user-only.
- Keep scoped `inbox:manage` grants as administrative overrides.
- Add service and route regressions for allow, deny, archive, unarchive,
and audit metadata.
- Update the implementation contract and agent-facing inbox API
guidance.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/authorization-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/inbox-archive-routes.test.ts` — 66 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change is limited to explicit inbox targets with a saved
policy.
- A missing policy row still denies explicit cross-user access.
- A non-matching allowlist and a disabled policy still deny access
unless a scoped administrative grant applies.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.

actionable file chip.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Task comments promoted path-shaped inline code to file chips before
Paperclip checked the file. A chip could point to a missing, denied,
ambiguous, remote, or non-previewable file. The action then failed after
the user selected it.
**Expected behavior**
Paperclip must show a file chip only after the server confirms that the
current board session can open the exact file reference. All other
path-shaped text must stay ordinary inline code.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Add a task comment that contains inline code with a missing or
inaccessible workspace path.
2. Open the task thread as a board user.
3. Observe that the path looks like an actionable file chip.
4. Select the chip and observe that the file cannot open.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`19be4cf927` and earlier.
**Deployment mode**
Local dev and self-hosted server.
**Access context**
Board user.
## What Changed
- Added shared request, response, and validation contracts for batched
workspace-file availability checks.
- Added an issue-scoped server endpoint that resolves file references
with company, issue, workspace, and preview-access checks.
- Added bounded batch concurrency and tests for missing, denied,
ambiguous, remote, unsupported, and available files.
- Added an issue-scoped UI availability registry that deduplicates,
batches, caches, and invalidates file checks.
- Changed task-comment markdown rendering so only confirmed files get
chip styling and file-viewer behavior.
- Bound each chip to the exact workspace target that passed the
availability check.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/shared/src/workspace-file-resource.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/file-resources.test.ts
ui/src/components/MarkdownBody.test.tsx
ui/src/components/WorkspaceFileMarkdownBody.availability.test.tsx
ui/src/lib/remark-workspace-file-refs.test.ts
ui/src/lib/workspace-file-availability.test.ts` — 93 passed, 35 skipped.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — clean.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- `pnpm test:run` — all server and UI groups passed. One unchanged CLI
test saw the run-injected static AWS credentials and expected only its
local `AWS_PROFILE`. The same test passed, 8 of 8, after removing only
`AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` from its process
environment.
## Risks
- File chips now appear after an asynchronous availability check, so
path-shaped text can briefly render as inline code.
- Availability results use the existing 30-second file-resource cache
window. File-resource invalidation forces a new check.
- The endpoint limits each request to 100 references and the client
chunks larger sets.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip gives operators a summary for each workspace.
> - An execution workspace detail page used the parent project-workspace
summary slot.
> - Two execution workspaces under one project workspace could therefore
show the same summary.
> - This pull request gives each execution workspace its own summary
scope.
> - It also limits the summary snapshot and generated issue to that
execution workspace.
> - The benefit is that a new or parallel execution workspace cannot
inherit unrelated status.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
An execution workspace detail page read and refreshed the summary slot
for its parent project workspace. Parallel execution workspaces could
show the same status and include issues from each other.
**Expected behavior**
Each execution workspace must have one isolated summary slot. Its
generated snapshot must include only issues assigned to that execution
workspace.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create two execution workspaces under one project workspace.
2. Add different issues to each execution workspace.
3. Generate the summary in the first execution workspace.
4. Open the second execution workspace.
5. Observe that the old implementation could reuse the first summary.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The problem exists on `master` before this pull request.
**Deployment mode**
The issue affects both local trusted and authenticated deployments.
## What Changed
- Added `execution_workspace` to the shared summary-slot scope contract.
- Validated execution-workspace ownership and stored generated summary
issues on the correct execution workspace.
- Limited execution-workspace snapshots to issues with the matching
execution workspace ID.
- Updated the execution workspace page to use its own summary slot.
- Updated Summarizer instructions, routine options, catalog metadata,
documentation, and regression tests.
## Verification
- `NODE_ENV=test pnpm exec vitest run
packages/shared/src/summary-slot.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/summary-slots.test.ts
ui/src/pages/ExecutionWorkspaceDetail.test.tsx` — 30 focused tests
passed; the embedded-Postgres server tests were run outside the
process-restricted sandbox.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/skills-catalog validate` — passed with 17
catalog skills.
- [Latest-head GitHub
Actions](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/31491475405)
— all 22 jobs passed on `beea14cbaf`, including typecheck, build,
server/workspace tests, serialized suites, e2e, canary, and aggregate
verification. One unrelated adapter cleanup test initially hit an
`ENOTEMPTY` temp-directory race; its single permitted rerun passed.
- Greptile — 5/5 confidence on `beea14cbaf`, 12 files reviewed, zero
comments added, and zero unresolved threads.
## Risks
- Low risk. The new scope is additive.
- Existing project and project-workspace summary slots keep their
current keys and behavior.
- A summary generated for an execution workspace now excludes sibling
workspace issues by design.

## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex with GPT-5. The deployment does not expose a more
specific model ID or context-window value. It used agentic reasoning,
repository tools, code execution, and GitHub tooling.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Company export/import moves a whole company — agents, tasks,
comments — between instances as a portable bundle
> - The bundle never carried task timestamps or parent links: the export
writes neither, the importer lets database defaults stamp "now", and
sub-tasks arrive flattened
> - Boards sort by recency, so every imported task showing "created just
now" collapses the task list into import order, and the task hierarchy
the user built is gone
> - This pull request adds created/updated/started/completed/cancelled
timestamps and a parent link to the bundle (schema v7), preserves them
end to end on import, and keeps comment imports from clobbering a
preserved updated time
> - The benefit is that an imported company reads like the company the
user left: same recency order, same task tree
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
After a company import, every task showed as created at import time.
Recency sorting collapsed to import order, and parent/child task nesting
disappeared. The user called out losing "the meaningful task hierarchy
and recency sorting". Cause: the export bundle has no fields for task
timestamps or parent links, the importer lets `defaultNow()` win on
insert, and the comment importer bumps every touched task's `updatedAt`
to now.
**Expected behavior**
An imported company preserves each task's
creation/update/start/completion times and its position in the task
tree, so sorting and nesting on the destination match the source.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. On a source instance, create tasks over several days, including
sub-tasks nested under parents.
2. Export the company and import it into another instance.
3. Every task shows the import moment as its creation/update time and
all tasks are top-level.
## What Changed
- Export writes
`createdAt`/`updatedAt`/`startedAt`/`completedAt`/`cancelledAt` (ISO,
only when set) and `parent: <taskSlug>` into each task's bundle
extension; a parent outside the export selection drops the edge with an
aggregate warning, mirroring the existing blocker-edge warning
(`server/src/services/company-portability.ts`).
- Bundle schema version 6 → 7. All new fields are optional: v5/v6
bundles import unchanged with a version-aware downlevel warning; bundles
newer than the board still fail closed.
- Manifest parsing validates the new timestamps like comment timestamps
(invalid → warn and ignore, never a hard failure); shared types and the
zod validator carry the new optional fields.
- Import resolves parent slugs to pre-generated destination ids, drops
self-references and cycles from tampered bundles with warnings, and
orders rows parents-first because the self-referencing FK is checked per
insert chunk.
- `importIssues` writes the preserved timestamps (falling back to insert
time when absent; `startedAt` stays null unless bundle-carried, per
#11191's semantics) and `parentId`.
- `addImportedComments` no longer blanket-bumps `updatedAt = now()`; it
takes `GREATEST(updated_at, newest imported comment createdAt)`, so a
preserved update time never regresses while unpreserved rows keep the
old behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-portability-import-batching.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/productivity-review-service.test.ts` — 102 passed,
1 pre-existing opt-in benchmark skip. Includes: full round-trip with
exact timestamp equality and a 3-deep parent chain against embedded
Postgres; v6 back-compat (defaults + warning); forward-compat rejection
(v8); cycle/self-reference/invalid-timestamp tampered-bundle handling;
comment-bump preserve-awareness in both directions.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/shared typecheck` — clean.
## Risks
- **Rollout ordering**: a board on the previous build (max schema v6)
refuses bundles exported by this build (stamped v7) — the existing
newer-than-supported rejection, working as designed. Cross-instance
moves need the importing board upgraded first. Called out here so
operators aren't surprised during the transition window.
- Parent edges from tampered bundles are dropped with warnings rather
than failing the import; blocker relations already behave this way.
- Timestamps are data-only; no destination schema migration.

wakeups

the sweep skip tasks whose assignee agent is paused
> - The benefit is that an import lands quietly: no surprise review-task
storm, and paused teams stay paused until the operator activates them
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
After importing a company package with automations paused, a batch of
"productivity review" tasks appeared roughly six hours later — one for
every imported in-progress task — each with an owner-agent wakeup. The
user described it as jarring and wasteful. Cause: `importIssues`
fabricates `startedAt = now()` for imported in-progress rows, and
`reconcileProductivityReviews` considers any assigned in-progress task
without checking whether the assignee agent is paused, so its
long-active-duration evidence (6 h threshold) trips on the fabricated
timestamp.
**Expected behavior**
An import with paused automations must be quiescent: no destination
sweep should generate work from imported rows until the operator
unpauses the imported team. A paused agent must not accumulate review
tasks it cannot act on.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Import a company package containing tasks with status `in_progress`
assigned to agents, with "pause automations" enabled.
2. Wait for the productivity-review reconcile (runs at startup and on
the heartbeat scheduler tick) more than six hours after the import.
3. Observe one new review task plus an owner wakeup per imported
in-progress task.
## What Changed
- `importIssues` no longer fabricates `startedAt` for imported
`in_progress` rows; it inserts null (`server/src/services/issues.ts`).
Audited every consumer of `issues.startedAt` — all are null-tolerant,
and normal checkout/status-transition paths set the value when work
really starts.
- `reconcileProductivityReviews` skips candidates whose assignee agent
is `paused`, counting them as skipped
(`server/src/services/productivity-review.ts`). This is a general rule,
not import-specific: a paused agent cannot act on a review.
- Tests: paused-assignee candidate with an old `startedAt` creates no
review, and creates one after unpausing; imported in-progress issue
lands with null `startedAt` (embedded-Postgres import test); the
pre-existing long-active regression test still passes.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/productivity-review-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-portability-import-batching.test.ts` — 20
passed, 1 pre-existing opt-in benchmark skip.
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts` —
78 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — clean.
## Risks
- Behavior change beyond imports: tasks assigned to paused agents no
longer receive productivity reviews anywhere. This is intended — the
review would target an agent that cannot respond — and reviews resume on
the first reconcile after unpausing.
- Imported in-progress tasks now carry no `startedAt` until real work
starts on the destination. The one sweep that read the fabricated value
is the one this PR quiets; all other consumers fall back safely (audit
in the commit body).
- Low risk otherwise: no schema change, no API shape change.

for exactly these packages

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A company import fails at the preview step with `Preview failed: Import
package exceeds 134217728 bytes`. The package is a valid Paperclip
export. Its compressed size is larger than the 128 MB server cap (one
reported package is 257 MB). The error panel suggests the CLI folder
import, but that path sends the package as one inline JSON body capped
at 64 MB, so it also fails.
**Expected behavior**
A valid company package of realistic size imports successfully through
the Import page. If a package is too large, the error must state the
limit clearly and suggest a step that can work.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Export a company with enough attachments to make the compressed
package larger than 128 MB.
2. Open the Import page and upload the `.zip`.
3. Click "Preview import".
4. The preview fails with `Import package exceeds 134217728 bytes`.
**Deployment mode**
Reported from a managed deployment; the limit applies to all deployment
modes.
## What Changed
- Raise `PORTABLE_ZIP_UPLOAD_LIMIT_BYTES` from 128 MB to a 1 GB default
(`server/src/http/body-limits.ts`).
- Add the `PAPERCLIP_IMPORT_ZIP_MAX_BYTES` environment override. Invalid
or non-positive values fall back to the default.
- Scale the zip decompression-bomb guard from the configured cap at the
import route: the aggregate inflated ceiling is 4x the cap. The
per-entry ceiling stays at 512 MB because V8's string length limit
applies to an entry regardless (`server/src/routes/companies.ts`,
`packages/shared/src/portability-zip.ts`).
- Report the 422 limit error in MB instead of raw bytes.
- Replace the "use the CLI folder import for very large packages" hint
on preview failure with advice that works: re-export the package without
large attachments (`ui/src/pages/CompanyImport.tsx`).
- Update the stale comment in `ui/src/lib/import-preflight.ts` that made
the same CLI claim.
- Add tests for the new default, the env override, and the
invalid-override fallback.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/body-limits.test.ts
packages/shared/src/portability-zip.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-portability-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-portability-import-batching.test.ts` — all
pass.
- `pnpm vitest run ui/src/pages/CompanyImport.test.tsx` — passes,
including the updated failure-panel copy assertion.
- `pnpm typecheck` — clean across the workspace.
- Manual: upload a `.zip` larger than the configured cap; the preview
fails with `Import package exceeds the 1024 MB upload limit` and the new
hint. A package between 128 MB and 1 GB now previews and imports.
## Risks
- Peak per-import memory rises with the cap: the upload is buffered in
memory and unzipped in one pass. A 1 GB compressed package can use
several GB transiently. Imports are instance-admin actions, so the
exposure is a deliberate operator action, not anonymous traffic.
Operators on small hosts can lower the cap with
`PAPERCLIP_IMPORT_ZIP_MAX_BYTES`.
- The aggregate bomb guard moves from a fixed 512 MB to 4x the
configured cap. It still bounds expansion far below what a decompression
bomb needs.
- No migration and no API shape change. The 422 message text changes; no
code matches on the old text.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents and relies on issue checkout as the
core task-claiming primitive
> - The issue checkout route is the HTTP boundary that translates
service and database outcomes into agent-usable API responses
> - Routine-linked issues are protected by the partial unique index
`issues_open_routine_execution_uq`, which covers only rows whose
`execution_run_id` is set
> - `svc.checkout` sets `execution_run_id`, so a concurrent claim moves
the row into that index and can raise a 23505 mid-request
> - Unhandled, that surfaces as a 500 and crashes the agent run instead
of being a recoverable conflict
> - Drizzle wraps driver failures in its own `Failed query: ...` error,
so the Postgres error carrying `code` and the constraint name is
reachable only through `cause`
> - This pull request translates that violation into a 409 at the
checkout route, detecting it through the cause chain the way
`isReviewPathRecoveryIdempotencyConflict` already does
> - The benefit is that agents handle routine execution contention
through the normal heartbeat conflict path instead of failing on an
internal server error
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#3660
Related pull requests found while searching for duplicates:
- #3699 — an earlier attempt at this same route-level fix, closed
unmerged. Same shape, and its check has the flat-error bug described
under Verification.
- #3633 — related work on postgres.js `constraint_name` handling in
conflict detection.
- #5662 — covers the adoption path (`assertCheckoutOwner`) that this
pull request does not.
## What Changed
- Added `server/src/db-errors.ts` with `isUniqueViolation(error,
constraintName?)`, which walks the `cause` chain (depth-capped) and
accepts the postgres.js `constraint_name`, the node-postgres
`constraint`, or the driver message as evidence of SQLSTATE 23505.
- Wrapped `svc.checkout()` in `POST /issues/:id/checkout` with a narrow
try/catch that uses that helper to return **409 Conflict** for
`issues_open_routine_execution_uq`, and rethrows every other error
unchanged.
- Added `server/src/__tests__/db-errors.test.ts` covering the wrapped
and bare error shapes, both constraint field names, the message
fallback, non-matching constraints, non-unique-violation codes, and a
self-referential cause chain.
## Verification
- The new unit test includes the wrapped case `{ cause: { code: "23505",
constraint_name: ... } }` that a flat `error.code` check fails, so it is
a real regression guard rather than a restatement of the implementation.
- The wrapped shape is what this codebase observes in practice:
`server/src/__tests__/plugin-tenant-isolation.test.ts` asserts
`cause?.code === "23505"` against embedded Postgres,
`packages/db/src/pipelines-schema.test.ts` asserts that constraint
failures throw `Failed query`, and
`server/src/services/recovery/review-path-recovery.ts` walks the same
chain.
- CI (verify, e2e, policy) exercises this change against current master
through the pull request merge ref.
- Not verified locally: no monorepo install or typecheck was run in this
environment.
## Risks
- Low. One route gains a catch that matches a single constraint and
rethrows all other errors, so no unrelated failure can be swallowed.
- The 409 body `{ error: ... }` matches the other 409 responses this
route already returns.
- Scope limit: this covers the checkout route only. The adoption path
reached through `assertCheckoutOwner` (heartbeat, plugins, and pipelines
routes) can still surface the same violation as a 500; #5662 targets
that path.
- `isUniqueViolation` is new and intentionally generic. Existing flat
23505 checks elsewhere in the server are left untouched by this pull
request.
## Model Used
- Original change: OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-class tool-using coding agent in
the Codex CLI environment; exact backend model revision is not exposed
in that runtime.
- Follow-up revision (cause-chain detection plus tests): Anthropic
Claude Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5`), tool-using coding agent with extended
thinking and code execution.

## What was done
Replaced the strict `!nonEmpty(process.env.PORT)` guard in
`maybePersistWorktreeRuntimePorts` with a new `isPortPinnedByRuntimeEnv`
helper function. This function checks if `process.env.PORT` is set, but
only suppresses persisting the port to configuration if the ambient
`PORT` matches the newly allocated `selectedPort`.
## Why it matters
Fixes issue #1849. Previously, if an ambient `PORT` environment variable
was exported globally (like inheriting from the shell running the parent
workspace), worktrees would silently fail to write their
collision-avoiding ports (e.g. 3103 instead of 3100) back to their
respective local `config.json` files. This resulted in orphaned
sub-worktrees and lost port tracking on reboot. With this fix, worktrees
correctly persist their assigned ports even while nested under an
inherited environment variables stack, while continuing to respect
manual, explicit pinning.
## How to verify
1. Export a port in the shell explicitly: `export PORT=3100`.
2. Launch a sub-worktree instance which receives an auto-assigned free
port (e.g., `3103`).
3. View the underlying `config.json` for that worktree inside
`.paperclip/worktrees/`.
4. The config file should correctly contain `{"server": {"port": 3103}}`
rather than dropping the write operation.
## Risks
None expected. The `Number()` and `Number.isInteger()` checks handle
parsing edge cases cleanly, defaulting robustly to preventing writes if
`process.env.PORT` is somehow malformed (e.g., set to a non-integer),
ensuring absolute safety during misconfigurations.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip posts system comments when automatic run recovery cannot
continue
> - These comments currently mix the main event with recovery
identifiers and routing details
> - The task chat shell also renders these comments as large raw text
blocks
> - Operators need a short explanation first and inspectable evidence on
demand
> - This pull request emits structured recovery notices and renders them
as compact humanized rows
> - The benefit is a quieter task thread that keeps the full recovery
evidence available
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related prior extraction source: #11070. This pull request replaces only
its structured recovery notice slice with a focused branch based on
current master.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Paperclip recovery escalations and the experimental task chat
system-comment renderer.
**Current behavior**
Recovery escalation comments put action identifiers, owner details, run
details, and failure codes into the visible markdown body. The task chat
shell renders the complete system comment as a large text block.
**Proposed behavior**
The server emits a short system notice with typed metadata sections. The
task chat shell classifies known recovery families and renders one
compact row. An operator can expand the row to inspect the full body and
metadata.
**Reason and benefit**
The main thread stays readable during repeated recovery activity. Typed
links and evidence remain available without exposing raw failure text in
the default view.
**Breaking changes**
The visible recovery comment body is shorter. Recovery action
deduplication now reads the structured metadata and still recognizes
legacy body markers. No API schema or database migration changes.
## What Changed
- Emit stranded recovery escalations with `system_notice` presentation
and typed recovery, owner, run, and failure-code metadata.
- Share bounded metadata row builders across recovery notice producers
and preserve legacy deduplication compatibility.
- Humanize known recovery notice families and render compact expandable
task-chat rows.
- Route system-authored comments ahead of derived agent authorship so
recovery notices do not appear as agent bubbles.
- Add focused server and UI regression coverage.
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 clean.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared exec vitest run
src/validators/issue.test.ts` — 32 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/recovery/stranded-notice.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-recovery-actions.test.ts` — 57 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/recovery/successful-run-handoff.test.ts
src/services/recovery/stranded-notice.test.ts` — 39 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts -t 'escalates an
exhausted failed successful-run handoff without using generic
continuation recovery first|escalates an exhausted successful handoff
run that still leaves no disposition'` — 2 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts -t 'blocks assigned
todo work after the one automatic dispatch recovery was already used'` —
passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/lib/system-notice-humanizer.test.ts
src/components/task-chat/TaskChatSystemNotice.test.tsx
src/components/task-chat/task-chat-adapter.test.ts` — 15 tests passed.
- Storybook visual baselines were not updated because this chat-shell
path has no affected snapshot baseline. Focused rendering tests and
token gates cover this change.
## Risks
- Consumers that parse recovery action identifiers from comment markdown
must move to structured metadata. Server deduplication remains backward
compatible with legacy comments.
- The humanizer uses stable recovery-family phrases. Unknown notices use
a generic truncated first-sentence fallback.
- The UI changes only the experimental task chat presentation. The
stored comment body and expanded metadata remain available.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Developers can run Paperclip from linked Git worktrees.
> - The server development watcher scans paths near the active checkout.
> - A main checkout can contain many complete sibling worktrees under
`.paperclip/worktrees`.
> - Scanning those sibling checkouts can stall the watcher before it
starts the server.
> - This pull request excludes the shared worktree directory from the
development watcher.
> - The benefit is that development startup stays responsive as the
number of worktrees grows.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The server development watcher traversed sibling checkouts under
`.paperclip/worktrees`. Large worktree collections could make `pnpm dev`
stall before the watcher started the server process.
**Expected behavior**
The watcher must observe only source paths that can reload the active
checkout. It must ignore sibling worktrees in both a main checkout and a
linked worktree.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create several linked worktrees under `.paperclip/worktrees`.
2. Add normal dependency and build output trees to those worktrees.
3. Run `pnpm dev` from the main checkout or one linked worktree.
4. Observe the watcher scan sibling worktrees before it starts the
server.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced on `master` before this change.
**Deployment mode**
Local development with `pnpm dev`.
## What Changed
- Detect whether the active server root is inside the managed
linked-worktree directory.
- Ignore the shared `.paperclip/worktrees` root from both main and
linked checkouts.
- Add regression coverage for the resolved ignore path and its globstar
form.
## Verification
- `./node_modules/.bin/vitest run
server/src/__tests__/dev-watch-ignore.test.ts --reporter=verbose`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
## Risks
- Low risk. The change affects only local development watch exclusions.
- A non-standard checkout that copies the same `.paperclip/worktrees`
directory layout will receive the same exclusion.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app that manages AI agents for work
> - Sandbox providers let agents run in remote and isolated environments
> - Daytona session commands need a path that sends agent output to the
host without host polling
> - Host polling adds delay and repeats provider output work
> - This pull request adds typed execute.log notifications and a log
sink for incremental output
> - This pull request adds an optional ACP session stream with
final-result replay protection
> - The benefit is lower output delay while the default flags keep
current behavior unchanged
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. The change spans the plugin SDK, Daytona provider,
adapter utilities, and server execution services.
**Problem or motivation**
The Daytona ACP bridge polls a host output file while an agent command
runs. This adds delay and can repeat work. The host also needs a safe
route for provider output chunks.
**Proposed solution**
Add a typed `execute.log` notification with host-issued invocation
correlation. Add an ordered log sink to the environment execute path.
Add an optional ACP session-log path that parses newline-delimited JSON
frames and removes the host output poll for that path.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep the output-file poll as the only path. This keeps the current
behavior but does not provide timely output. The new path stays behind
flags, so the existing path remains the default fallback.
**Roadmap alignment**
This change supports the shipped Cloud / Sandbox agents milestone in
`ROADMAP.md`, including Daytona support.
## What Changed
- Add the typed `execute.log` worker-to-host notification and
company-scoped host route.
- Add ordered `stdout` and `stderr` chunk delivery before the final
execute result.
- Add the Daytona session log sink and the optional ACP streamed session
path.
- Add monotonic frame handling so live and final output reach the host
once.
- Keep `useLogStream` and `streamAgentSessionOutput` off by default.
- Add unit and integration coverage for the notification, execution
target, runtime, and Daytona paths.
## Verification
- Run adapter-utils tests: 445 tests pass locally.
- Run server environment tests: 73 tests pass locally.
- Run Daytona plugin tests: 131 tests pass locally.
- Run TypeScript checks for shared, adapter-utils, and server.
- Review the pull request checks after GitHub completes them.
- All required GitHub checks pass on the current head.
## Risks
The new paths change output delivery only when a feature flag enables
them. The final execute result remains available for parsing and
fallback. The main risk is a provider stream or frame-order error; the
final-result parser limits that risk.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution. The runtime did not
supply a context-window value.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Apps subsystem connects company tools through governed provider
connections.
> - A company can need more than one account for the same provider.
> - The current database constraint and Apps flow assume one named
connection per company.
> - New quarantined actions also need an explicit review decision before
activation.
> - This pull request supports multiple provider connections and
complete action review decisions.
> - The benefit is safer access control and a clear multi-account Apps
workflow.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs: #11040
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This change affects the Apps UI, the tool access API, the
shared request contract, and the database schema.
**Problem or motivation**
The connection name constraint prevents a company from keeping more than
one connection for a provider. The Apps UI also reuses an existing OAuth
connection when a user asks to connect another account. Action review
can enable selected entries without recording a decision for every
quarantined action.
**Proposed solution**
Remove the company and connection name uniqueness constraint. Let users
open, count, edit, and create multiple provider connections. Require the
finish request to cover every quarantined action exactly once before the
server activates reviewed entries.
**Alternatives considered**
The UI could generate unique internal names and keep the database
constraint. This would preserve a one-connection assumption in the data
model and would make display names part of identity. The server could
also infer review decisions from enabled actions. This would not
distinguish a reviewed disabled action from an action that the user did
not review.
**Roadmap alignment**
This change extends the completed MCP Tool Gateway and Apps milestone.
It also supports the Connected Apps roadmap item. It follows the
navigation and connection management work in #11040.
## What Changed
- Remove the company-scoped connection name uniqueness index with an
ordered and idempotent migration.
- Add a reviewed action list to the finish-app contract and reject
incomplete or duplicate review decisions.
- Activate reviewed entries and keep unreviewed quarantined entries
blocked.
- Enable a completed connection and preserve the company and connection
scope in all updates.
- Show provider connection counts and open the provider setup page from
Browse.
- Let users edit existing connections or connect another account without
reusing an active OAuth connection.
- Update focused server and UI coverage for multiple connections and
action review.
## Verification
- Ran the focused Apps UI suite. All 116 tests passed in 11 files.
- Ran the focused server and CLI suite. All 276 tests passed in 3 files.
- Ran `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`. The migration
safety check passed.
- Ran `pnpm -r typecheck`. All projects passed.
- Ran `pnpm build`. All projects built successfully.
- Ran `pnpm test:run`. It passed 3,735 tests and skipped 4 tests. One
worktree-safety assertion failed because the execution workspace reloads
its worktree marker. The same test passed with an isolated non-worktree
marker.
- Ran `pnpm check:token-gates`. It reports 12 existing violations in the
unchanged `PaperclipOrbit3D.tsx` file from the target branch.
- Started the six affected Playwright specifications. Chromium could not
start because the host does not provide `libatk-1.0.so.0`. The GitHub
e2e jobs will verify these specifications.
- GitHub Actions passed every final-head CI gate, including all three
e2e shards and the aggregate `e2e` and `verify` jobs.
- Greptile reviewed final commit `9af9200426` at 5/5 with zero review
threads.
## Risks
- Removing the name uniqueness index permits duplicate display names.
Stable connection IDs and UIDs remain unique within a company.
- The finish-app endpoint accepts the new review field as optional for
backward compatibility. When clients send it, the server requires a
complete decision for all quarantined actions.
- Multiple OAuth connections depend on the explicit new-connection route
flag. Focused tests cover active and draft connection reuse.
- The migration is ordered after migration 0210. Its `DROP INDEX IF
EXISTS` statement is safe to repeat.

## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with the `gpt-5.6-sol` model assisted this change. The
agent used repository tools, code execution, test execution, and agentic
reasoning. The Codex runtime manages the context window.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Apps UI manages app discovery and app connections.
> - The managed worktree runtime starts agent work in repository
worktrees.
> - The Apps routes do not match the main discovery flow, and the
connections view lacks a delete action.
> - Legacy managed worktrees can also start before their pending seed
operation runs.
> - This pull request makes app discovery the main Apps route and makes
connection management explicit.
> - It also seeds legacy managed worktrees before runtime startup and
makes the CLI read the repository-local config.
> - The benefit is a clearer Apps workflow and a safer managed-worktree
startup path.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This improves the Apps navigation, app connection management, managed
git-worktree startup, and CLI worktree selection.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. The change affects `ui/`, `server/`, `cli/`, and
development documentation.
**Current behavior**
The `/apps` route opens the connections list while discovery uses a
nested route. The connections list has no delete action. Some legacy
managed worktrees can start runtime work before their pending seed
operation runs. The CLI can also read an ambient Paperclip config
instead of the repository-local config.
**Proposed behavior**
The `/apps` route opens Browse, and `/apps/connections` opens the
connection list. Users can delete a connection after confirmation.
Runtime startup seeds legacy managed worktrees when required. The CLI
resolves the current worktree from the repository-local
`.paperclip/config.json` file.
**Reason and benefit**
Users can discover apps from the canonical Apps route and can manage
existing connections from a dedicated route. Legacy worktrees receive
their required repository content before agent runtime starts. CLI
worktree selection stays scoped to the current repository.
**Breaking changes**
The `/apps` and `/apps/browse` route behavior changes. Old Browse links
redirect to `/apps`. The change does not modify an API schema or
database schema.
## What Changed
- Make Browse the canonical `/apps` page and move the connection list to
`/apps/connections`.
- Align Apps navigation, redirects, attention links, empty states, and
connection actions with the new routes.
- Add connection deletion with confirmation and clear failure feedback.
- Seed legacy managed git worktrees before runtime startup when their
seed status is pending.
- Read the CLI worktree selection from the repository-local Paperclip
config.
- Update focused UI, server, CLI, and development documentation
coverage.
## Verification
- Ran 202 focused UI, server, and CLI tests. All tests passed.
- Ran `pnpm -r typecheck`. All projects passed.
- Ran `pnpm build`. All projects built successfully.
- Ran `pnpm test:run`. The server and UI stages passed 7,168 tests. The
CLI stage found one environment-sensitive secrets test because this
workspace injects static AWS credentials. The isolated CLI file passed
all 8 tests after those injected variables were unset.
- Ran `pnpm check:token-gates`. It reports 12 existing color-token
violations in the unchanged `PaperclipOrbit3D.tsx` file from the target
branch. This pull request does not modify that file.
- Ran focused regression coverage for repository-root CLI config
resolution and connection deletion state. All tests and affected package
typechecks passed.
- Collected all 27 tests in the six changed Playwright specifications
successfully.
- GitHub Actions passed every latest-head CI gate, including all three
e2e shards and the aggregate `e2e` and `verify` jobs.
- Greptile reviewed the final commit at 5/5 with zero unresolved
threads.
## Risks
- Existing bookmarks for `/apps/browse` redirect to `/apps`.
- Connection deletion changes visible connection state and requires user
confirmation.
- The legacy seed path runs only for managed git worktrees with pending

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Each run executes inside a persisted **execution workspace** (a row
in `execution_workspaces`) that is either freshly created or
**restored/reused** across runs of the same issue
> - Before adapter launch, a guard rejects a restored workspace whose
`projectWorkspaceId` is null while the issue resolves a concrete project
workspace (`persisted_workspace_missing_project_workspace_id`) — a
safety check against binding a run to a workspace with no
project-workspace link
> - The reuse/**restore** path updated the existing row (cwd, branch,
status, metadata…) but **never set `projectWorkspaceId`**, so a row
persisted with a null value stayed null on every restore
> - Result: for an issue that resolves a project workspace, the guard
fires, `reuse_existing` re-selects and re-binds the *same* stale null
row on the next attempt, and the run crash-loops forever with no
self-heal
> - This pull request backfills `projectWorkspaceId` during restore
(prefer the existing binding, fall back to the resolved one) so the row
heals on first reuse and the guard stops firing
> - The benefit is that reused workspaces created before their project
had a primary project workspace self-repair on next use instead of
crash-looping, while genuine mismatches are still surfaced by the guard
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists — describing the bug inline per the bug
report template (`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml`):
### What happened?
In `heartbeatService`, the execution-workspace reuse/restore branch
calls
`executionWorkspacesSvc.update(reusableExistingExecutionWorkspace.id, {
… })` without a `projectWorkspaceId` field. Only the sibling CREATE
branch sets `projectWorkspaceId`. So an execution workspace that was
persisted with a null `projectWorkspaceId` (e.g. created before its
project had a primary project workspace) is never backfilled on restore.
When such a workspace is later reused for a run whose issue resolves a
concrete project workspace, the pre-launch guard throws
`persisted_workspace_missing_project_workspace_id`, the run fails, and
`reuse_existing` re-binds the identical stale row on the next attempt —
an unbounded crash-loop with no self-heal.
### Expected behavior
On restore, the reused workspace's `projectWorkspaceId` is backfilled
from the resolved project workspace when it is currently null, so the
guard passes and the run launches. An existing non-null binding is never
overwritten (a genuine mismatch is still surfaced by the separate
`project_workspace_mismatch` guard).
### Steps to reproduce
1. Have an `execution_workspaces` row with `project_workspace_id = NULL`
that is eligible for reuse.
2. Give its project a primary project workspace (so the issue now
resolves a concrete `projectWorkspaceId`).
3. Dispatch a run for an issue in that project that reuses the
workspace. The restore `update()` leaves `project_workspace_id` null,
the launch guard throws
`persisted_workspace_missing_project_workspace_id`, and every subsequent
reuse re-binds the same null row and fails identically.
### Paperclip version or commit
`master` (branched from `14f20be92`); reproduced on a live self-hosted
instance.
### Deployment mode
Self-hosted, embedded Postgres, local adapters.
## What Changed
- New exported pure helper
`reconcileReusedExecutionWorkspaceProjectWorkspaceId(existing,
resolved)` in `server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`, returning `existing ??
resolved ?? null`. It prefers an existing binding (never nulls out a
good value or silently rebinds a genuine mismatch — the guard still
surfaces those), backfills a null binding from the resolved value, and
stays null when neither is present.
- Wire the helper into the reuse/restore
`executionWorkspacesSvc.update(...)` call so the restored row's
`projectWorkspaceId` is set to
`reconcileReusedExecutionWorkspaceProjectWorkspaceId(reusableExistingExecutionWorkspace.projectWorkspaceId,
resolvedProjectWorkspaceId)`. The CREATE branch already set
`projectWorkspaceId`; this brings the restore branch to parity.
## Verification
- Added 3-case unit coverage in
`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts` for the
helper: (a) backfills a null existing binding from the resolved value,
(b) never overwrites an existing binding even when a resolved value is
present, (c) returns null when both existing and resolved are absent
(null and undefined inputs).
- Confirmed the `update()` patch type accepts the field:
`executionWorkspacesSvc.update` takes `Partial<typeof
executionWorkspaces.$inferInsert>`, and `projectWorkspaceId` is a column
on that table; both
`reusableExistingExecutionWorkspace.projectWorkspaceId` and
`resolvedProjectWorkspaceId` are `string | null`, matching the helper's
`string | null | undefined` params / `string | null` return.
- Live-instance exposure check (embedded Postgres): 354
`execution_workspaces` rows carry a null `project_workspace_id`; all of
them belong to projects with **no** project workspace, so
`expectedProjectWorkspaceId` currently resolves null and the guard does
not fire today. The fix is durable heal-on-reuse protection for the
moment any such project gains a primary project workspace (or a null row
is reused for an issue that resolves one).
- CI (full pnpm workspace install) runs the authoritative test +
typecheck for this change on this PR.
## Risks
- Low risk; scoped to the execution-workspace restore path, no schema or
API change.
- The helper only ever *adds* a `projectWorkspaceId` where the row had
none; it never overwrites an existing binding, so it cannot mask a real
`project_workspace_mismatch` (that guard still runs after).
- Complementary to (not overlapping with) #10130, which escalates a
terminal `workspace_validation_failed` run to `blocked` from the
recovery side; this PR prevents the guard from firing on reuse in the
first place. Neither depends on the other.

> - The task list and the chat views show a Live badge and a Working
shimmer for an issue that has an active run.
> - A finished task kept the Live badge and the Working shimmer after
the run ended and the sandbox stopped.
> - The user interface reads run liveness from the
`heartbeat_runs.status` row. The run finalizer writes the terminal
status in a step that is separate from the agent `status=done` update.
When the sandbox or the run process stops between the two steps,
`heartbeat_runs.status` stays `running` forever.
> - A run row that stays `running` makes a finished task look
perpetually Live, and the user interface has no guard for an issue that
already reached a terminal status.
> - This pull request closes the invariant "environment lease released
implies the run is terminal" on the server, and adds a user interface
guard that suppresses live state for a terminal issue.
> - The benefit is that a finished task stops showing Live and Working,
both at the source (the run row) and at the surface (the badge and the
shimmer).
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Bug description**
- A completed task kept the Live badge and the Working shimmer after its
run ended and the sandbox was torn down.
**Steps to reproduce**
- Run an agent task to completion. Let the sandbox tear down while the
run finalizer is between the `status=done` update and the terminal
run-status write.
- Open the task list or the chat view for the finished task.
**Expected behavior**
- A finished task shows no Live badge and no Working shimmer.
**Actual behavior (before this change)**
- The finished task showed the Live badge and the Working shimmer
because its `heartbeat_runs.status` row stayed `running`.
This pull request supersedes the two separate pull requests #10954
(frontend) and #10955 (backend). It carries all of their changes for the
same race.
## What Changed
Server:
- Run teardown terminalizes a still-running or still-queued run before
it releases the environment lease. It writes `succeeded` when the issue
already reached `done`, `cancelled` when the issue is `cancelled`, and
`interrupted` otherwise. It never overwrites a status that another path
already made terminal.
- The recovery stale-lock sweep terminalizes an orphaned running run to
`interrupted` after it confirms the process and the sandbox are both
gone. It requires recorded process metadata, so it never terminalizes a
live run, a queued run, or a scheduled retry.
- Each terminal transition writes a run event.
- The stale-lock sweep continues and clears the lock when the audit
write fails. It logs the failure loudly.
- New server tests cover both invariants.
User interface:
- A shared guard suppresses the Live badge and the Working shimmer when
the issue status is terminal.
- The guard keeps non-terminal `queued` and `running` issues live.
- The guard prefers the newest issue live-status snapshot.
- New user interface tests cover the guard and the snapshot preference.
## Verification
Server:
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk ensure-build-deps && tsc
--noEmit` in `server/` — 0 errors.
- `pnpm --filter server test
heartbeat-run-lease-release-terminalization.test.ts
recovery-stale-issue-lock-sweep.test.ts` — 12 tests pass.
User interface:
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — 0 errors.
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/lib/liveIssueIds.test.ts
ui/src/lib/issue-chat-messages.test.ts` — 40 tests pass.
## Risks
- Low risk. The server change only forces a still-live run row to a
terminal status when the lease releases or when the recovery sweep
confirms the process is dead. It never overwrites an existing terminal
status, and it guards the recovery path with process metadata to avoid
terminalizing a live run.
- The user interface change is additive. The guard only suppresses live
state for a terminal issue and keeps queued and running issues live.
- No database migration. No change to any external endpoint.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The CLI and server both update Paperclip values in `.env` files
> - The server preserved operator content, but the CLI rebuilt the
complete file
> - A CLI rerun could remove comments, custom values, ordering, and

> - Both paths need one editor with one value encoding and duplicate key
policy

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The CLI rebuilt the complete `.env` file when it wrote a managed
Paperclip value. This action removed comments, blank lines, custom keys,
original quoting, and the original newline style.
**Expected behavior**
Paperclip must update only the managed assignments. It must preserve all
unrelated bytes. It must skip the file replacement when all managed
values are current.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Add comments, custom keys, quoted values, and CRLF newlines to the
Paperclip `.env` file.
2. Run a CLI path that calls the agent JWT secret setup.
3. Observe that the old writer replaces the complete file.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The problem exists on `master` before this pull request.
Related public context: Refs #437.
## What Changed
- Add one shared line-preserving `.env` editor for the CLI and server.
- Define minimal and JSON value encodings in the shared helper.
- Update every stale duplicate of a managed key and preserve current
duplicate encodings.
- Preserve comments, ordering, blank lines, unknown keys, export
prefixes, trailing comments, and newline style.
- Write changed files through a same-directory temporary file and atomic
rename.
- Limit CLI updates to non-empty `PAPERCLIP_*` entries.
- Skip the write when all managed values are current.
- Add shared, CLI, and server regression coverage.
- Refresh the branch after the related config, sandbox, and skill safety
changes landed.
- Add a cross-cutting integration test for config, env-file,
managed-sandbox, and managed-instructions rerun survival.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/env-file.test.ts
packages/shared/src/config-schema.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/agent-jwt-env.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/config-store.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/config-file.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/worktree-config.test.ts` passes 39 tests.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/rerun-survival.integration.test.ts` passes 4 tests.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes on the previous head. GitHub CI reruns it
on the refreshed head.
- The previous head passed the complete general, serialized, workspace,
and E2E matrix. GitHub CI reruns that matrix on the refreshed head.
- `pnpm build` passes on the previous head. GitHub CI reruns it on the
refreshed head.
## Risks
- Low risk. The production change only affects managed `.env`
assignments.
- Existing managed assignments can keep their original quoting when
their decoded values are current.
- Changed CLI values keep the prior minimal encoding policy. Changed
server values keep the prior JSON encoding policy.
- Duplicate managed assignments now follow one explicit rule: Paperclip
updates each stale occurrence.
- The master refresh had one import-block conflict. The resolution keeps
both the config merge imports and the env-file imports.
- The added integration file is test-only. It has no database, API, or
UI contract effect.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents can select company skills and synchronize them to adapter
runtimes
> - The skill sync API replaced the complete selection without an
explicit destructive choice
> - Company package import also replaced conflicting skills by default
> - These defaults could remove operator edits during setup and import
reruns
> - This pull request adds explicit assignment merge modes and safe
package conflict handling
> - The benefit is that reruns preserve operator work unless the caller
explicitly requests replacement
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This change improves agent skill synchronization and company package
import.
**Subsystem affected**
This is a cross-cutting change across the shared contracts, server, CLI,
and UI.
**Current behavior**
Agent skill synchronization replaces the full desired skill set from a
modeless request. Package import replaces a conflicting skill when the
caller does not select a conflict mode.
**Proposed behavior**
Agent skill synchronization requires `add`, `remove`, or `replace`.
Package import skips conflicts by default. Each imported skill reports
whether it was created, renamed, replaced, or skipped.
**Reason and benefit**
Setup and import reruns must preserve operator edits by default.
Explicit destructive modes make data loss less likely and make each
outcome inspectable.
**Breaking changes**
Callers of the agent skill sync API must now send `mode`. Callers that
need the former behavior must send `replace`. Package import now uses
`skip` when `onConflict` is absent.
## What Changed
- Added required `add`, `remove`, and `replace` modes to the shared
agent skill sync contract.
- Added actionable `422` validation for missing or invalid modes.
- Updated first-party UI and CLI callers with explicit modes.
- Changed package skill conflict handling to use `skip` by default.
- Kept plugin-owned and built-in stock skill imports on explicit
`replace`.
- Added created, renamed, replaced, and skipped results to company
imports.
- Added regression coverage for merge modes and package conflict
outcomes.
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm test:run:serialized` (128 suites passed)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/skills-catalog test` (20 tests passed)
- Focused agent skill route, company skill service, portability, CLI,
and UI tests passed.
- GitHub CI passed build, typecheck, canary, all general and serialized
test shards, all browser shards, policy, security, and final
verification on commit `2cfbb3e4c5`.
- Greptile reviewed the latest commit at 5/5 with zero unresolved
threads.
## Risks
- This change intentionally rejects modeless agent skill sync requests.
- The safe package default can leave an existing skill unchanged where
the old default overwrote it.
- All first-party callers now select a mode. Regression tests cover each
outcome.
