## Thinking Path

work.

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.

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.

work

`authPublicBaseUrl` via `choosePrimaryRuntimeApiUrl` →
`buildPaperclipEnv`

`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).

## 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
and code execution.

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

## 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.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents run on a heartbeat; when an issue-scoped run ends, the server
records the outcome on the issue's board thread.
> - Normally the agent posts its own summary comment via `POST
/comments`. When it doesn't, the server has a fallback that
auto-publishes a run summary so the board isn't left silent.
> - That fallback (`buildHeartbeatRunIssueComment` in
`server/src/services/heartbeat-run-summary.ts`) returns
`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.

## 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`,
bearer, and unauthenticated trigger semantics are unchanged.

> - 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,

## 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.
## Model Used
- OpenAI GPT-5 via Codex, with repository search, local code execution,
tests, TypeScript typechecking, builds, Git, and GitHub API use. The
runtime does not expose a more granular snapshot ID or context-window
size.

## 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.
> This is a bug fix, not roadmap feature work.

## 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`.
## Model Used
Anthropic Claude Opus 4.8 assisted the implementation. It used extended
reasoning, code execution, repository tool use, and a 200,000-token
context window.

## 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.

## Thinking Path

work

state
> - A workspace-busy deferral cancels one run before it inserts the
scheduled retry row

## 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).

> - The onboarding first-task route sends an assignment wake in the
background.

## 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.

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).

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.

## 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.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies and their work
> - Each user can let agents tidy that user's Mine inbox
> - The profile control saves either an open policy or an agent
allowlist
> - Explicit inbox archive requests checked only the separate
`inbox:manage` grant
> - This made the saved profile control ineffective for explicit user
targets
> - This pull request makes authorization honor the target user's saved
policy
> - The benefit is that the UI control and the API now enforce the same
user choice
## 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.

## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex based on GPT-5. The runtime did not expose the exact
model build or context-window size. The agent used reasoning, repository

## Thinking Path

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.

## 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.

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.

this PR then shows only the v7 changes.

> - 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.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Company import/export lets an operator move a full company package
between instances, with the Import page uploading the package as one
compressed `.zip`
> - The server caps that upload at 128 MB, and real company packages

for exactly these packages
> - This pull request raises the zip upload cap to a 1 GB default, makes
it operator-configurable through an environment variable, scales the
decompression-bomb guards from the cap in effect, and replaces the
misleading hint
> - The benefit is that large real-world company packages import
successfully, and operators with unusual needs can tune the cap without
a code change
## 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.

work

identifiers and routing details

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

- `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.

## 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

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

> - 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
seed state. Tests cover the startup condition.
- The rebase preserves the target branch's direct OAuth policy for the
Notion connection flow.

## 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.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - 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
newline style
> - Both paths need one editor with one value encoding and duplicate key
policy
> - The final integration also needs one regression test across the
related setup and sync safety mechanisms
> - This pull request moves the editor to the shared package and adds
cross-cutting rerun-survival coverage
> - The benefit is safe setup and worktree repair reruns that preserve
operator edits
## 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

> - 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.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip creates a managed sandbox environment for each company
during boot
> - Operators can change environment fields after Paperclip creates the
environment
> - The boot reconciler replaced those changes without checking for
drift
> - This pull request adds stock hashes and transactional drift
reconciliation
> - The benefit is that Paperclip can update untouched stock fields
without losing operator work
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The managed sandbox boot reconciler rewrote the stock description,
configuration, metadata, and status on every start. It did not detect
operator changes first. A restart could therefore remove an operator's
changes.
**Expected behavior**
Paperclip must preserve operator changes by default. It must update an
untouched stock environment when Paperclip ships new stock values. It
must perform each row update and stock-hash update atomically.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start Paperclip and let it create the managed sandbox environment.
2. Change one Paperclip-owned stock field on that environment.
3. Restart Paperclip.
4. Observe that the previous reconciler replaced the change.
**Paperclip version or commit**
This bug reproduces on `master` before this change.
**Deployment mode**
Local development and self-hosted server boot are affected.
## What Changed
- Add a shared deterministic stock-hash and drift classifier for
built-in resources.
- Track the managed sandbox stock hash with the company-scoped built-in
resource binding.
- Reconcile the environment and its stock metadata in one transaction
with a row lock.
- Preserve operator-modified and unmanaged rows and report their skipped
update state.
- Use archive ownership tokens so provider recovery reactivates only
Paperclip-archived rows and preserves later operator archive decisions.
- Keep operator-owned environment variables and unrelated metadata out
of the stock fingerprint.
- Add activity records for managed environment creation, updates,
skipped drift, tracking initialization, and archive changes.
- Add regression tests for current stock, available stock updates,
operator drift, unmanaged rows, archive and reactivation, user-owned
fields, and concurrent reconciliation.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `env -u AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -u AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY pnpm test:run --
--mode serialized` (128 suites passed)
- Repository general server, UI, CLI, shared, skills catalog, database,
adapter, plugin SDK, and plugin creator projects passed. Two
embedded-Postgres tests exceeded the host's five-second default under
the aggregate run and passed in the complete database project with
`--testTimeout=20000`. One timing-sensitive sandbox stream test passed
on its focused retry.
- Focused managed-environment unit and integration coverage passed: 49
tests across the drift classifier, boot report, and environment service
suites.
## Risks
- The main risk is an incorrect ownership boundary in the stock
fingerprint. The fingerprint includes only Paperclip-owned stock fields.
Tests confirm that environment variables and unrelated metadata survive
reconciliation.
- Concurrent reconciliation could otherwise overwrite a late operator
edit. The implementation locks the environment row and updates the row
and hash binding in one transaction. A concurrency test covers this
path.
- There is no schema migration. Existing managed rows initialize
tracking without replacing their current values.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The CLI and server share a JSON configuration contract for local
installations and worktrees.
> - Existing config writes removed extension keys because Zod stripped
unknown object properties.
> - Invalid config files could also be replaced with defaults before an
operator preserved the original bytes.
> - Configuration updates must preserve operator edits and must not
rewrite files when the effective value is unchanged.
> - This pull request adds extension-preserving merges, guarded
invalid-config repair, atomic writes, and focused regression tests.
> - The benefit is safe setup and configuration reruns without data loss
or unnecessary mtime changes.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Known-field updates through the CLI or server removed unknown top-level
and nested config keys. Non-interactive configure and onboard paths
could replace a present but invalid config with defaults.
**Expected behavior**
Writers preserve extension keys, skip semantic no-op writes, and require
explicit interactive confirmation before an invalid config is replaced.
Repair preserves an exact collision-safe backup first.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Add an unknown top-level key and an unknown nested provider key to
`config.json`.
2. Update a known field through the CLI or worktree config writer.
3. Observe that the extension keys are removed on the base branch.
4. Write invalid JSON and run configure or onboard without an
interactive terminal.
5. Observe that the original file can be replaced without a durable
invalid-file backup on the base branch.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at the pull request base commit.
## What Changed
- Accept unknown properties at each extensible config object boundary
while keeping every known field validated.
- Merge known-field updates into the parsed source config and preserve
only unknown extension data.
- Warn about near-match key names without deleting or changing them.
- Skip writes when the effective config is unchanged, which keeps file
mtimes stable.
- Write config changes through a temporary file, file sync, rename, and
directory sync.
- Distinguish a missing config from an invalid config in configure and
onboard.
- Back up invalid bytes as `config.json.invalid-N` and verify the source
still matches that backup before repair.
- Require interactive repair confirmation and reject non-interactive
replacement with an actionable message.
- Document the config preservation and repair behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/config-schema.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/config-store.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/configure-repair.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/configure.test.ts cli/src/__tests__/onboard.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/config-file.test.ts

- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID= AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY= VITEST_MAX_WORKERS=1 pnpm
test:run`
- `pnpm build`
- Confirm all pull request checks are green on the latest commit.
- Confirm Greptile reports 5/5 with no unresolved comments.
## Risks
- Passthrough keeps misspelled keys. Near-match warnings make this
visible without destructive cleanup.
- Merge behavior must distinguish unknown extension keys from optional
known keys. Schema-aware regression tests cover preservation and
known-key deletion.
- Repair must not overwrite bytes that changed after backup. The writer
compares the current source with the selected backup before atomic
replacement.
- The change does not alter database schema, company scoping, or
activity logging.

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip uses adapter and sandbox code to start agents and run
sandbox work
> - The current sandbox spans use mixed names and do not group related
run-time work

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This improves OpenTelemetry span names and grouping for sandbox startup,
execution, callback relay, and agent session work.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (multiple of the above): adapter utilities, sandbox
providers, shared telemetry documentation, and server instrumentation.
**Current behavior**
Sandbox provider spans use mixed names. Related run-time operations
expose inner `sandbox.exec` spans without a named wrapper span. The host
mapper uses a closed allowlist for provider span names.
**Proposed behavior**
Use descriptive provider-scoped span names. Add wrapper spans for agent
session input, agent session output polling, and callback relay. Keep
the host mapper allowlist closed and map unknown names to `other`.
**Reason and benefit**
Clear names make traces easier to read and reduce ambiguity during
sandbox operation analysis. Wrapper spans show the full operation while
preserving the inner execution spans.
**Breaking changes**
None. This change updates telemetry span names and grouping only. It
does not change sandbox behavior, endpoint behavior, or the host trust
boundary.
**Additional context**
Related prior work:
[#10758](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/10758).
## What Changed
- Rename Daytona provider sync and session spans with descriptive
provider-scoped names.
- Add three run-time wrapper spans for agent session input, output
polling, and callback relay.
- Add a shared span runner that preserves no-op behavior without a real
tracer.
- Keep the host mapper allowlist closed and map unknown names to
`other`.
- Update telemetry documentation and span-name tests.
## Verification
- Focused adapter-utils span tests pass for startup timing, callback
relay, and sandbox execution.
- Focused Daytona plugin span tests pass for renamed leaf spans and
session open or close spans.
- Focused server tests pass for host mapping and instrumentation.
- The stacked diff contains one commit on top of
`feat/daytona-persistent-session-model`.
## Risks
- Span names change for existing telemetry consumers.
- The wrapper spans add trace structure but do not change sandbox
execution.
- The host mapper keeps the existing closed allowlist and `other`
bucket.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Apps give agents governed access to external tools.
> - The Apps gallery lists Notion, but the server required manually
configured OAuth credentials.
> - Notion's hosted MCP server supports OAuth discovery and dynamic
client registration.
> - Notion also requires HTTPS or a loopback HTTP redirect URI.
> - This pull request adds a direct Notion MCP OAuth path with PKCE and
reusable dynamic clients.
> - It also adds the current Apps UI states for connect and
reauthorization.
> - The benefit is a secure Notion connection with no manual client
credential setup.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The Apps gallery, Apps connect route, OAuth token lifecycle, and managed
MCP gateway.
**Subsystem affected**
`server/`, `packages/shared/`, `scripts/`, and `ui/`.
**Current behavior**
The Notion gallery cards are disabled. The server uses the classic
Notion OAuth endpoints and requires operator-supplied client
credentials. It does not register an OAuth client from provider
metadata. Concurrent refreshes can also replay a rotating refresh token.
**Proposed behavior**
Enable the Notion Apps flow. Discover OAuth metadata from
`https://mcp.notion.com/mcp`. Register and reuse a public RFC 7591
client with PKCE. Require HTTPS or loopback HTTP callbacks. Serialize
refreshes, store each rotated refresh token before the new access token
can be used, and show a reconnect state for `invalid_grant`.
**Reason and benefit**
Operators can connect the built-in Notion MCP app without creating or
copying OAuth credentials. Paperclip keeps dynamic clients and rotating
tokens in the company secret store.
**Breaking changes**
None. Explicit environment client credentials still take priority.
Existing Slack and Linear OAuth endpoint hints remain unchanged. Other
OAuth apps remain disabled unless they are allowlisted.
**Additional context**
PR #10910 is a related, broader Connections v3 wizard replacement. This
PR is the focused current Apps flow. The MCP Tool Gateway and Connected
Apps items in `ROADMAP.md` cover this planned capability.
## What Changed
- Classify all 20 reviewed Notion MCP tools with provider-scoped read
and write defaults.
- Require approval for selected Notion mutations, including move,
duplicate, and convert actions that generic verb matching missed.
- Preserve company-scoped connection and catalog resolution for Notion
profiles and policies.
- Add RFC 7591 dynamic client registration with
`token_endpoint_auth_method=none` and mandatory PKCE.
- Store the dynamic client ID on the connection and store any returned
client secret in the company secret store.
- Reuse the registered client for later connects and keep explicit
environment credentials as the first choice.
- Discover protected-resource and authorization-server metadata from the
Notion MCP endpoint.
- Add `redirectConstraints: "https-or-loopback-http"` to the generated
Notion app definition and shared contract.
- Reject non-loopback plain HTTP callbacks before network access with a
TLS setup error.
- Serialize client registration and token refresh operations within the
server process.
- Store a rotated refresh token before publishing the refreshed access
token.
- Treat `invalid_grant` as terminal and move the connection to a clear
reauthorization state.
- Add focused coverage for registration reuse, callback constraints,
refresh rotation, and terminal grants.
- Enable the Notion Apps route and add connect, redirect, success,
error, and reconnect UI states.
- Keep non-allowlisted OAuth apps blocked and cover the UI policy with
regression tests.
## Verification
- The focused Notion policy integration test passed with embedded
PostgreSQL.
- The focused 20-tool classification test passed.
- The server typecheck passed on the governance head.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed on the rebased head.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passed after the
security follow-up.
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts
-t \u0027DCR|refresh tokens|invalid_grant|abandoned lease\u0027` passed
10 focused security tests.
- `pnpm build` passed on the rebased head.
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts
-t 'OAuth|oauth'` passed 14 tests.
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/app-definitions.test.ts`
passed 5 tests.
- The complete server group passed 3,686 tests with 4 skipped.
- The complete UI group passed 3,656 tests.
- The full local runner found one environment-only CLI failure because
this agent runtime injects static AWS credentials into a test that
expects `AWS_PROFILE` only. `env -u AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -u
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY pnpm exec vitest run
cli/src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts` passed all 8 tests.
- The prior UI verification passed 55 focused tests, `pnpm
check:token-gates`, the Storybook build, and review of six 1440 x 1000
screenshots.
- OAuth request sequence: protected-resource metadata `GET
https://mcp.notion.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp`;
authorization metadata `GET
https://mcp.notion.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server`; dynamic
registration `POST https://mcp.notion.com/register`; authorization `GET
https://mcp.notion.com/authorize`; token exchange and refresh `POST
https://mcp.notion.com/token`; MCP traffic `POST
https://mcp.notion.com/mcp`.
- The live metadata and registration probe confirmed that Notion accepts
HTTPS and loopback HTTP redirects. It rejects a plain HTTP private
hostname.
- A later QA task owns the full browser consent and managed gateway
tool-list dry run against a configured HTTPS deployment.
## Risks
- Notion can add tools. Unrecognized names use the generic classifier,
and new or changed risky tools stay quarantined after connection
activation.
- A deployment that uses a private non-loopback hostname must configure
HTTPS before it can connect Notion.
- Dynamic registration creates a provider-side client. Paperclip reuses
it because registration does not provide a standard delete operation.
- Refresh coordination uses a database CAS lease across service
instances. An unclean crash leaves an uncertain lease and requires
reconnect instead of risking refresh-token replay.
- The current Apps surface overlaps with PR #10910. Merge order can
require a small conflict resolution if that PR lands first.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for autonomous AI companies
> - One core subsystem runs agent work inside sandboxes
> - The Daytona provider uses that path to run user commands
> - The current one-shot model does not keep a shell alive across
commands
> - This pull request adds an opt-in persistent session model for
Daytona
> - The benefit is faster command dispatch with the same sandbox
boundaries
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Subsystem affected
Cross-cutting. This change touches `packages/adapters`, provider tests,
span names, and sandbox command behavior.
### Problem or motivation
The Daytona provider needs a persistent shell for repeated command
dispatch.
The old advisory wrapper path does not reach that goal.
It also adds cost and removes the session speed gain.
### Proposed solution
Add a `useSessions` driver flag.
Keep it off by default.
Open one Daytona session per lease when the flag is on.
Send each user command into that session.
Read stdout and stderr from the session logs endpoint.
Run each command in a subshell so `exit` does not stop the shell.
Remove the advisory `bwrap` wrapper path and its lease metadata.
Add session setup and teardown spans.
Keep a hard delete on teardown.
### Alternatives considered
Keep the advisory `bwrap` wrapper.
That path does not give a real persistent session.
It also keeps extra command overhead.
Keep a one-shot fallback for user commands.
That would weaken the session model and hide a missing session case.
### Roadmap alignment
This work fits the `Cloud / Sandbox agents` milestone in `ROADMAP.md`.
It also supports the control plane goal of safe remote sandbox
execution.
### Additional context
The handoff verification reported `tsc --noEmit` clean and 119 Daytona
unit tests passing.
The handoff also reported a clean host span allowlist test and five
expected commits on the branch.
The security review gate remains required before merge.
## What Changed
- Added an opt-in persistent session model for the Daytona sandbox
provider.
- Routed user commands through `executeSessionCommand` when sessions are
enabled.
- Removed the advisory `bwrap` command wrapper path and the lease
metadata it used.
- Added session lifecycle spans and span allowlist coverage.
- Documented the leak bound in `DIRECTORY-CONSTRAINT-FINDINGS.md`.
## Verification
- `tsc --noEmit` clean for the Daytona plugin, per handoff verification.
- Daytona unit suite passes, with 119 tests, per handoff verification.
- Host span allowlist test passes, per handoff verification.
## Risks
- Persistent sessions can leak if teardown fails.
- Session logs must keep stdout and stderr separate.
- The flag stays off by default to limit rollout risk.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5, Codex, tool use enabled.

<!-- ASD-STE100 -->
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server keeps fleet health with periodic sweeps and shows a
dashboard with run activity
> - The Paperclip instance became slow again after the first round of
recovery-sweep indexes landed
> - Live profiling found four steady-state hot paths that read much more
data than they use
> - This pull request bounds the dashboard recursion, adds the missing
taskKey index, and narrows two wide reads
> - The benefit is a large drop in constant database load and a
responsive server
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Describe the bug**
The server becomes slow while agents work. Live query sampling shows
four hot paths:
1. The dashboard run-activity recursive CTE reads every run a company
ever had on each call. One call takes 2.85 seconds. The UI calls it
after almost every fleet event through the dashboard and sidebar-badges
routes.
2. The productivity-review sweep runs each 30 seconds. Its run-scope
filter is `issueId OR taskId OR taskKey` on the run context JSONB. No
index exists for `taskKey`. The planner must detoast every run snapshot
for the agent. One query takes 444 ms and the sweep makes one for each
of ~152 candidate issues.
3. The attention failed-run section selects the full `context_snapshot`
for every run newer than the oldest exhausted run. That fetch moves 29
MB for each feed build.
4. The retention sweep pages the attention feed with a cursor. Each page
makes a full feed rebuild.
**Expected behavior**
Periodic sweeps and dashboard queries read only the data they use, and
use indexes.
**Actual behavior**
The database stays saturated. Users see a slow server.
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/dashboard.ts`: bound both arms of the
`recovered_runs` recursive CTE to the chart window. A retry is always
newer than the run it retries, so the bound cannot change visible chart
data. Live time went from 2,852 ms to 54 ms.
- `packages/db/src/migrations/0210_heartbeat_context_taskkey_index.sql`:
add the `taskKey` expression index that completes the
issueId/taskId/taskKey trio. With all three, the planner uses a
BitmapOr. Live time for the productivity run-scope query went from 444
ms to 1.9 ms.
- `packages/db/src/schema/heartbeat_runs.ts`: mirror the new index in
the Drizzle schema.
- `server/src/services/productivity-review.ts`: select only the seven
run fields the evidence code reads. Before, the query pulled full rows
with `result_json` (up to 43 kB per row, 100 rows per issue).
- `server/src/services/attention.ts`: project `issueId`/`taskId` text
fields instead of the full `context_snapshot` in the failed-run
newer-runs query (29 MB per feed build before).
- `server/src/index.ts`: the retention sweep now builds the attention
feed once per company with `all: true` instead of one full rebuild per
cursor page.
- `packages/db/src/heartbeat-context-snapshot-index-migration.test.ts`:
cover the new index and re-run migration 0210 statements to prove
idempotency.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` (includes migration
numbering and safety checks) — pass.
- `npx tsc --noEmit` in `server/` — pass.
- `npx vitest run
packages/db/src/heartbeat-context-snapshot-index-migration.test.ts` —
pass (embedded Postgres, full migration chain, planner assertions,
idempotent re-run of 0209 and 0210).
- `npx vitest run` on attention, dashboard, productivity-review,
decision-retention, issue-blocker-attention, and issue-review-attention
test files — 72/72 pass.
- Live EXPLAIN ANALYZE before/after numbers are in the What Changed
list.
## Risks
- Migration 0210 builds one btree index without CONCURRENTLY inside the
transactional migration runner. The table is not in the large-table
bucket. The 0209 twin built in seconds on a 100k-row live table.
- The CTE bound excludes retry ancestors that are older than the chart
window. Those rows are not visible to the chart query, so chart output
does not change.
- The attention projection changes JSONB scalar handling in one edge
case: a non-string `issueId`/`taskId` value now casts to text instead of
reading as absent. These keys are always strings in practice.
- The retention sweep now holds one full feed in memory per company. The
cursor loop already accumulated all pages into one array, so peak memory
is unchanged.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The task chat thread renders issue comments, system notices, and run
transcripts
> - The server routes comment payloads through the run-secret redaction
walker before it sends them
> - The walker rebuilds each object with `Object.entries`, and this
collapses `Date` instances to `{}`
> - The chat renderer then calls `.toISOString()` on an invalid date and
throws, and the thread falls back to the error banner
> - This pull request keeps `Date` instances intact in redacted
responses and makes the renderer safe against bad timestamps
> - The benefit is that task threads with system notices render
correctly again
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened**
Task threads that contain a system notice showed the banner "Chat
renderer hit an internal state error." in place of the conversation.
This occurred on many tasks.
**Expected behavior**
The thread renders all comments and system notices with correct
timestamps.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open a task that has at least one system notice comment (for example
a "Workspace ready" notice).
2. `GET /api/issues/{id}/comments` returns `createdAt: {}` for every
comment because the secret-redaction walker collapses `Date` objects.
3. The system-notice row calls `new Date({}).toISOString()`. This throws
`RangeError: Invalid time value` and trips the thread error boundary.
**Version / deployment**
Regression from #9934 (`e43f187ca`). It applies to all deployments that
include that commit.
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/run-secret-redaction.ts`:
`redactRegisteredSecretValues` now returns `Date` instances as-is. Dates
hold no redactable text, and the `Object.entries` rebuild turned them
into `{}`.
- `ui/src/components/IssueChatThread.tsx`: the system-notice row formats
its timestamp with a new `toValidIsoString` helper. A value that does
not parse as a date now degrades to "no timestamp" instead of a render
crash.
- Regression tests at three layers:
- Walker unit tests: `Date` values survive with and without registered
secret values.
- Route test: `GET /issues/:id/comments` serializes `createdAt` /
`updatedAt` as ISO strings.
- Render test: a system notice with a malformed `createdAt` renders
without the error boundary.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run --root server
src/__tests__/run-secret-redaction.test.ts` — 5 passed.
- `npx vitest run --root server
src/__tests__/issue-comment-redaction.test.ts` — 4 passed (embedded
Postgres route test).
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/IssueChatThread.test.tsx
src/components/IssueChatThreadSystemNotice.test.tsx
src/lib/issue-chat-messages.test.ts` — 121 passed.
- Each new test was run against the unfixed code and failed there, which
confirms it guards the regression.
- A local sweep rendered 47 real issue threads through
`IssueChatThread`: 7 tripped the boundary before the fix, 0 after.
## Risks
- Low risk. The server change only preserves `Date` objects that the
walker destroyed before. String redaction behavior does not change, and
the registry-key stripping does not change.
- The UI change only affects the timestamp of system-notice rows and
omits it when the value is invalid.
## Model Used
- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`), Anthropic. Agentic coding session
with tool use (file edits, shell, Vitest). No extended-context or
special reasoning mode.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Issue reviews use thread confirmations to record explicit verdicts
> - The server allowed users to resolve review confirmations but
rejected all agent actors
> - This one-way rule prevented an eligible agent reviewer from
completing a review
> - The existing review policy already defines which actor can submit a
verdict

> - The benefit is a consistent review gate for users and agents with
preserved audit attribution
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Builds on: #10931 (merged into master before this PR)
- Refs #8617
## What Changed
- Allow eligible agents to accept or reject pending review confirmations
on issues they can write.
- Allow a creator agent to withdraw its own pending review confirmation
when the review policy permits it.
- Reuse the review verdict policy check for users and agents.
- Require an explicit, same-run review-confirmation binding so unrelated
board-only confirmations stay protected.
- Preserve board-only tool action confirmations and existing user
attribution.
- Add route and service tests for agent accept, reject, withdrawal,
human-only denial, and user attribution.

## Risks
- The change expands who can resolve pending review confirmations. The
existing issue write checks and review policy limit this access.
- Tool action confirmations remain board-only.
- The pull request depends on the review policy helper from #10931,
which is now merged into master.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Issues use `in_review` to request a final decision from an
authorized writer
> - The server rejected an assignee agent that tried to close its own
review, even when the issue had no independent-review rule
> - This rejection stopped the default agent workflow and did not
represent the configured execution-stage rules
> - Paperclip needs an open default and explicit issue-level constraints
for teams that require an independent or human verdict
> - This pull request removes the unconditional rejection and adds
`anyone`, `not_creator`, and `human_only` review policies
> - The benefit is a working default path with opt-in, authenticated
verdict controls
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #10635, #4429, and #10671.
The related public work covers execution-stage independence,
self-approval fallback behavior, and durable review paths. This change
is distinct. It controls who can resolve an issue review verdict. It
keeps configured execution stages active.
## What Changed
- Added a nullable `review_policy` issue column. Null has the same
meaning as `anyone`. The migration does not backfill existing issues.
- Added shared create, update, response, and compact issue contracts for
`anyone`, `not_creator`, and `human_only`.
- Removed the unconditional agent self-approval rejection for
`in_review` issues.
- Added one reusable verdict-actor check for terminal status changes and
pending interaction accept or reject actions.
- Used the authenticated principal type for `human_only`. Agent keys and
run tokens remain agent principals.
- Used the latest transition into `in_review` to identify the requester
for `not_creator`.
- Added actionable 403 responses that name the policy, the allowed
actor, and the next step.
- Kept the configured execution-stage transition and signoff behavior.
- Added focused contract, helper, status-route, interaction-route, and
execution-stage regression tests.
- Updated the implementation specification for the new issue field.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/validators/issue.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-review-policy.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-stalled-review-decision-routes.test.ts
--reporter=dot` passed: 42 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` passed, including migration
numbering and safety checks.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm run typecheck:build-gaps` passed across server, CLI, plugin
SDK/examples, plugin wiki, and UI.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` passed.
- SecurityEngineer review approved the authenticated-principal checks
and accepted policy-relaxation tradeoff with no required changes.
- Greptile reviewed the latest head at 5/5 with zero inline comments or
follow-ups.
- The latest-head GitHub rollup passed build, typecheck,
server/workspace tests, serialized suites, canary, e2e, and external
security checks.
## Risks
- The migration adds one nullable text column. It has no default and no
backfill.
- `not_creator` reads the latest recorded transition into `in_review`.
It denies the verdict when it cannot identify the requester.
- Agents can change or relax `reviewPolicy` when they have issue write
access. This is intentional for this issue-level control.
- Null and `anyone` do not add a database query to the verdict path.
- Configured execution-stage checks still run after the issue-level
policy check.
> This work aligns with the completed "Agent Reviews and Approvals" and
"Enforced Outcomes" roadmap items. It does not add a new roadmap
capability.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5. The exact deployment ID and context-window size
are not exposed to the agent. The run used reasoning, repository tools,
code execution, and GitHub CLI access.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents ask humans for decisions through interaction blocks: plan
confirmations, structured questions, suggested tasks, and checkbox
prompts
> - Each agent writes these decision prompts in its own style, so
operators can get long or unclear text at the exact moment they must
decide
> - There is no instance-level control that makes agents use a
controlled language for these decision points only
> - This pull request adds an experimental setting that tells agents to
write all user-interaction content in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical
English, with the context the user needs and the effect of each choice
> - The benefit is faster, clearer human decisions, with agent thinking
and normal responses unchanged
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #10410 (optional `/simplified-english` skill in the skills catalog;
this PR adds the instance-level toggle for interactions).
**Problem or motivation**
Agent-posted user interactions (plan confirmations, structured
questions, suggested-task proposals, checkbox prompts) are written in
each agent's default style. Operators who want fast, unambiguous
decisions have no way to ask agents to use a controlled language for
exactly those decision points.
**Proposed solution**
Add an experimental instance setting,
`enableSimplifiedEnglishInteractions` ("Simplified English
Interactions"). When it is on, the server sets
`simplifiedEnglishInteractions: true` in the heartbeat wake payload. The
shared wake-prompt renderer, used by every adapter, then emits a
directive: write all user-interaction content in ASD-STE100 Simplified
Technical English, state what information the user needs to decide, and
state what happens for each choice. The directive applies to interaction
content only. Thinking, comments, documents, and other responses keep
their usual style.
**Alternatives considered**
Per-agent instructions work today, but someone must maintain them on
every agent. An instance-level toggle applies uniformly and turns off in
one place. Server-side rewriting of interaction payloads was rejected:
post-hoc translation is lossy and cannot add the decision context that
only the agent has.
**Roadmap alignment**
Extends the experimental settings surface with another opt-in
agent-behavior refinement, consistent with existing prompt-side flags.
## What Changed
- Added `enableSimplifiedEnglishInteractions` to the experimental
instance-settings zod schema, mirror type, and feature catalog (default
off, tier preference) in `packages/shared`.
- Server `instance-settings.ts` normalizes the flag on both read
branches; `heartbeat.ts` reads it once and passes
`simplifiedEnglishInteractions` into `buildPaperclipWakePayload`.
- Shared adapter renderer
(`packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.ts`): added the field to
`PaperclipWakePayload`, normalization, and an `- interaction language
(experimental): ...` directive emitted in both fresh and resume prompt
lanes, so one injection point covers all adapters.
- UI: new experimental settings card "Simplified English Interactions"
in `ui/src/pages/InstanceExperimentalSettings.tsx`, in alphabetical card
order; fixtures updated.
- Tests: renderer coverage for flag on/off in both lanes, plus
schema/catalog/UI fixture updates.
## Verification
- From the repo root: `node_modules/.bin/vitest run
packages/adapter-utils` (88/88), `packages/shared` validators (25/25),
server instance-settings + heartbeat suites (47/47 and 70/70 consumer
tests), `ui` settings tests (32/32).
- Typecheck is clean in all four touched packages.
- Manual check: turn the flag on in Settings → Experimental, wake an
agent, and confirm the wake prompt contains the interaction-language
directive; turn it off and confirm the directive is absent.
## Risks
- Low risk: the flag defaults to off, and the only behavior change is
one extra directive line in the wake prompt when an operator turns it
on.
- The directive is advisory to the agent; models can still deviate from
STE. No data or API shape changes; no migration.
## Model Used
- Claude Fable 5 (Anthropic, model ID `claude-fable-5`), extended
thinking, agentic tool use via Claude Agent SDK.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane people use to manage AI-agent
companies.
> - Agents can encounter credentials during work.
> - Directly creating live secrets or bindings would bypass human
governance.
> - Proposal records must remain inert and separate from live secret
resolution until an authorized human approves them.
> - Approval must reuse the existing secret-create and protected
agent-config write paths.
> - This pull request adds the propose, review, approve, and reject
lifecycle.
> - The benefit is that agents can safely hand credentials into
Paperclip without exposing plaintext or gaining authority to activate
them.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Follow-on to #9921, which established run-bound agent secret access.
**Problem / motivation:**
Agents can receive credentials during work. There is no governed way for
them to propose a credential or binding without exposing plaintext in
work artifacts or immediately creating live access.
**Proposed solution:**
Store agent-authored proposals outside live secret tables. Encrypt each
proposed value and register exact-value redaction when Paperclip
receives it. Require an authorized human to approve or reject each
proposal. Approval executes through the normal write paths as the human
approver. Binding proposals can target only the proposer or its downward
reporting chain under the restrictive V1 policy.
**Alternatives considered:**
We rejected live secrets with a `proposed` status. That design would put
untrusted rows in resolver, list, and sync paths. It would also allow
uniqueness squatting. We rejected direct agent binding writes because a
binding is an agent-config write and must keep the existing human
permission gate.
**Roadmap alignment:**
This change extends the run-bound agent secret-access foundation in
#9921 with a governed proposal workflow.
## Security Verdict
Q0 SecEng verdict: **PASS-with-required-changes**. The review accepted
the separate proposal-table design and required the implementation to:
- fail closed unless both encryption and exact-value run redaction
registration succeed;
- scrub ciphertext idempotently on reject, withdraw, and expiry, with
audit-visible state;
- treat agent justification as hostile input and foreground action,
target, provenance, and approver permissions;
- snapshot and re-check the target agent plus reports-to chain at
approval to prevent org-chart laundering;
- make cascade approval atomic and fail closed if either secret creation
or binding authorization fails;
- deny low-trust, `skill_test`, `task_bridge`, and non-run-bound sources
consistently; and
- execute approval through the normal human secret/config write paths,
including protected-change gates.
Those requirements are implemented and covered by focused service,
route, and UI tests. Residual V1 risk remains the accepted 14-day
encrypted retention window. Proposal-time redaction also cannot clean a
value that leaked before the propose call.
## What Changed
- Added `company_secret_proposals`, migration `0207`, shared proposal
contracts, and a state-machine service for create, approve, reject,
withdraw, cascade, expiry, and ciphertext scrubbing.
- Added run-bound agent proposal routes and board review routes. The
routes derive provenance from authentication and enforce source
restrictions, company isolation, chain-of-command checks,
approval-as-approver, wake-on-resolution, and dual audit trails.
- Added durable per-run exact-value redaction registration so proposal
values remain redacted on later read surfaces.
- Added the Secrets **Proposals** tab and agent configuration **Proposed
access** rows. The UI shows fingerprint and length only. It also frames
agent justification as untrusted input, runs permission preflight,
supports approve and reject actions, and confirms cascades.
- Updated OpenAPI, agent skill guidance, API reference documentation,
and focused server and UI regression coverage.
- Rebased the branch onto current `master` and renumbered the proposal
migration after `0206`.
## QA Acceptance Results
Q5 QA verdict: **PASS — 9/9 acceptance criteria met**, with one Minor
non-blocking follow-up.
- **AC1:** proposed values never echo, never appear in live
lists/resolvers, and expose only fingerprint + length to board
reviewers.
- **AC2:** restrictive `self_and_reports` matrix passes: self/downward
allowed; upward/lateral denied.
- **AC3:** secret approval uses the normal create path, honors rename
overrides, records proposer/approver provenance, and scrubs ciphertext.
- **AC4:** approved bindings materialize and resolve through the target
agent's runtime list/fetch routes.
- **AC5:** pending-secret bindings require cascade; cascade succeeds
atomically and permission failures leave nothing applied.
- **AC6:** reject, withdraw, dependent rejection, and expiry paths scrub
ciphertext and preserve reasons/audit state.
- **AC7:** token/source and approver denial matrix passes through live
checks plus focused route tests.
- **AC8:** proposal lifecycle events and reused
`secret.created`/config-write events form the required dual audit trail;
origin-issue notification and wake are queued.
- **AC9:** both review surfaces render and execute correctly; UI
approval materializes the binding.
QA also confirmed zero plaintext occurrences for all exercised proposal
values in server logs. The single finding is that the company-level
`bindingTargetPolicy` toggle is not wired yet. V1 is hardcoded to the
restrictive `self_and_reports` policy. The matrix is correct and the
follow-up is tracked separately, so QA classified it as non-blocking.
## Verification
- Focused server proposal and redaction suite: 83 tests pass.
- Focused proposal review UI suite: 54 tests pass.
- Embedded-Postgres migration reapply test: 1 test passes with the
documented 30-second timeout.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` passes, including migration
numbering and safety checks.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passes with all gates clean.
- Q5 exercised the complete propose, review, approve, bind, and
runtime-resolve flow over real HTTP, JWT, and database paths. It
verified 9/9 acceptance criteria.
## Risks
- Proposal ciphertext is retained encrypted for up to 14 days while
pending. Terminal-state and expiry scrub paths reduce but do not remove
server-compromise risk during that window.
- The V1 target policy is restrictive but not yet company-configurable.
A separate follow-up owns that change.
- A new migration can require another renumber if another migration
lands before maintainers merge this pull request.
> 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. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex coding agent. The exact runtime model ID and
context-window size are not exposed. The agent used reasoning,
repository editing, terminal execution, Paperclip API, and GitHub CLI
capabilities. Q3 UI work also records Claude Opus 4.8 assistance in its
commit trailers.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Chat-style tasks show an agent's plan in a dedicated "Plan" pane,
and a plan confirmation lets the user accept or request changes to that
plan
> - When an agent asked for confirmation but never actually published
the plan document (it only wrote the plan in a comment or a question),
the Plan pane rendered empty, and the confirmation call-to-action that
used to sit pinned at the bottom of the pane had disappeared
> - A user asked to confirm a plan they cannot see, with no visible CTA,
is stuck — the feature silently fails
> - This pull request closes the gap on both sides: it prevents plan
confirmations that don't point at a real, latest plan revision, it
teaches agents to publish the plan document before confirming, and it
restores the sticky confirmation action bar and an explanatory empty
state so the pane never goes silently blank
> - The benefit is that when a plan is expected, it reliably shows up in
the right pane with reachable accept/revise actions
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
<!-- No public GitHub issue exists; describing in-PR per the bug
template. -->
**Bug report**
- **What happened:** A task in planning mode could present a plan
confirmation while the Plan pane stayed empty (no plan document
rendered), and the plan-card confirmation CTAs that were previously
pinned to the bottom of the Plan pane no longer appeared.
- **Expected behavior:** When a plan is expected, the plan document
appears in the Plan pane; when a plan is genuinely missing, the pane
explains why rather than showing nothing; and the accept/request-changes
CTAs stay visible and reachable while the plan scrolls.
- **Steps to reproduce:** Put a task in planning mode with the
chat-style task view enabled, have an agent create a plan confirmation
without first publishing the `plan` document, and open the Plan tab —
the pane is blank and the confirmation actions are missing.
- **Deployment mode:** Local dev and self-hosted; UI + server.
Related PR (not a duplicate): #9609 "Pin pending confirmations by
composer" pins confirmations in a different surface (the composer); this
PR restores the Plans-pane action bar and the server/agent guarantees
behind it.
## What Changed
- **Server:** Reject a `request_confirmation` whose target is a plan
document unless a plan document exists and the target points at its
*latest* revision, so a confirmation can never reference a plan the pane
cannot render (`readPlanTarget` is now exported for reuse).
- **Agent instructions:** The CEO and default agent instruction bundles
now spell out a plan-publish contract — publish the `plan` document,
re-`GET` it and capture `latestRevisionId`, then create the confirmation
targeting that revision; never present a plan only in a thread comment
or via `ask_user_questions`.
- **UI — sticky CTAs:** Restore the plan confirmation action bar pinned
to the bottom of the Plans tab so accept/revise stay reachable while the
plan scrolls.
- **UI — diagnostics:** Keep the Plan tab visible whenever an issue is
in planning mode (even before a plan document exists) and show an empty
state explaining why the pane is empty instead of rendering nothing.
- **UI — annotations:** Add a `panelPlacement="inline"` mode so the
plan-document annotation panel renders in document flow instead of as a
floating side panel when hosted in the narrow task properties pane.
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates` → 3/3 CLEAN
- `pnpm typecheck` → clean (all packages)
- UI: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/issue-properties/IssuePlanConfirmationActionBar.test.tsx
src/components/IssueProperties.test.tsx
src/components/IssueDocumentAnnotations.test.tsx` → 69 passed
- Server: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-thread-interaction-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/agent-skills-routes.test.ts` → 60 passed
- Manual: with a planning-mode task, the Plan tab stays visible, shows
the plan document (or a diagnostic empty state), and the confirmation
CTAs stay pinned at the bottom.
Visual note: snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated — per
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md` "Per-change snapshot verification demoted
to dormant (Jul 13 2026)". The `storybook-visual` label is intentionally
not added.
## Risks
Low-to-moderate. The server change adds a validation gate on
plan-document confirmations: an interaction that targets a stale or
nonexistent plan revision is now rejected with a 422 instead of being
created. This is the intended guarantee, but any caller that relied on
creating such confirmations will now need to publish the plan document
first (which the updated agent instructions cover). UI changes are
additive to the Plans tab and gated by the existing chat-style-task
experimental flag.
## Model Used
Claude Opus 4.8 (Anthropic), model id `claude-opus-4-8`, extended
thinking enabled, with tool use (file editing, shell, test execution).

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip separates workspace provisioning lifecycle from whether
the work was actually delivered.
> - Git ancestry alone cannot recognize squash merges or deliveries into
a branch other than the workspace base.
> - A merged pull request linked from a terminal issue is stronger
delivery evidence for those cases.
> - The read contract should expose that evidence without changing
persisted workspace schema.
> - Cleanup must remain conservative: terminal descendants, delivered
work, and no active run checkout are all required.
> - Reusing the existing cleanup primitives keeps service shutdown,
lease cleanup, activity logging, and archival behavior consistent.
> - Focused regression coverage locks in both the honest read signal and
the fail-closed reaper guards.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Execution workspace close-readiness payloads and terminal workspace
cleanup.
**Current behavior**
Delivered squash-merged or cross-branch workspaces can remain `active`
and report a permanent “not merged” warning because git ancestry does
not contain their original commits.
**Proposed behavior**
Read payloads distinguish PR-confirmed delivery, ancestry delivery,
unmerged work, and unknown state. Fully terminal delivered workspace
trees are archived only when no active run holds the checkout.
**Reason and benefit**
Operators and automation receive an honest delivery signal, while
shipped worktrees stop looking active forever and genuinely unmerged
work retains its warning.
**Breaking changes**
The workspace payload gains a derived field. Existing fields and
persistence remain unchanged; no database migration is required.
**What happened?**
A delivered workspace can remain `active` and warn that it is not merged
forever after its issue ships through a squash or cross-branch pull
request.
**Expected behavior**
Pull-request delivery should be represented honestly, and a fully
terminal delivered workspace should become cleanup-eligible when no run
holds its checkout.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create an issue workspace with commits ahead of its configured base.
2. Deliver those commits with a squash merge or into a different target
branch.
3. Mark the source issue and descendants done, then read workspace close
readiness.
Before this change, the workspace remains active with a “not merged”
warning indefinitely.
## What Changed
- Added the derived `deliveryState` workspace contract: `merged_via_pr`,
`merged_by_ancestry`, `unmerged`, or `unknown`.
- Extracted a shared GitHub pull-request merge classifier and reused it
for merge confirmations and workspace delivery checks.
- Suppressed false ancestry warnings when a terminal issue has
ground-truth merged-PR evidence.
- Added an idempotent terminality reaper with descendant-terminal,
active-run, and delivered-work guards.
- Restricted PR delivery evidence to the source issue, then required
live merged state plus matching GitHub repository, head branch, and
current workspace HEAD; persisted status, stale PRs, lexical mentions,
inbound references, and descendant PRs cannot authorize cleanup.
- Preserved workspaces with modified or untracked files even when their
committed HEAD was delivered.
- Bounded both long-lived pull-request state caches to 1,000 entries
with oldest-entry eviction.
- Routed eligible workspaces through existing runtime shutdown, lease
cleanup, activity logging, and archival machinery with exclusive Git
index, HEAD, and branch-ref locks plus non-forced removal.
- Added regression coverage for delivery derivation, warning behavior,
reaper guards, scheduler wiring, and squash/cross-branch delivery.
## Verification

both source and built copies of one unrelated embedded-Postgres
migration test and both reached its 5-second timeout

src/status-card-migrations.test.ts --reporter=verbose` — isolated
aggregate-timeout verification passed in 3.99 seconds
- `NODE_ENV=production pnpm build`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
## Risks
The reaper intentionally fails closed when issue terminality,
pull-request state, git ancestry, or checkout ownership cannot be
proven. GitHub lookups can delay classification and cleanup but cannot
cause an unproven workspace to be archived. Automated terminal archival
holds exclusive Git index, HEAD, and branch-ref locks across validation
and removal, skips configured destructive hooks, and uses non-forced
removal so dirty writes fail closed. Reopening a source issue does not
restore an archived workspace; it emits an audit event so a human or
agent can re-provision explicitly.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5. The runtime did not expose a more specific model ID
or context-window size. Reasoning, tool use, repository editing, test
execution, and GitHub CLI access were enabled.

work
> - When an agent run ends without recording a disposition, Paperclip
raises a "missing disposition" handoff so the work does not silently
stall
> - The server already tracks whether such an issue has a live
continuation (a running or queued run, or a queued wake) in

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this bug. Description follows the
bug-report template:
**What happened?**
An issue that a live agent run was actively working on showed the
"missing disposition" warning banner, a loud thread notice, and "Needs
next step" badges at the same time. The API payload for that issue
showed `successfulRunHandoff.required: true` together with
`hasLiveContinuation: true` and a `liveRunId`, but the UI ignored the
liveness fields.
**Expected behavior**
The missing-disposition warning appears only when the issue has no live
run or queued wake. A live agent records a disposition when its run
ends. Paperclip complains only if the run ends and no disposition
exists.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Let a run finish on an in-progress issue without a disposition.
Paperclip raises the handoff and queues a corrective wake.
2. Open the issue page while the corrective run (or any new run) is
live.
3. See the banner, the badges, and the loud thread notice — all visible
while the agent works.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Current `master` (reproduced at commit 6ffe9df842).
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted development instance.
## What Changed
- `isSuccessfulRunHandoffRequired` (ui lib) returns `false` while a live
continuation exists. This quiets the Kanban card badge and the
issues-list badge. Exception: when the only continuation is a
not-yet-promoted scheduled retry, the notice stays visible so the
**Retry now** control stays reachable.
- `IssueBlockedNotice` also checks the real-time live-run set
(`liveIssueIds`). A run that starts after the issue payload was fetched
hides the banner at once.
- `IssueChatThread` derives an effective handoff state from the live
runs it already tracks. The loud "Missing issue disposition" thread
notice folds into the quiet collapsed row while a continuation is live,
and unfolds if the run ends without a disposition.
- Server: `hydrateSuccessfulRunHandoffLiveness` now hydrates escalated
handoffs too. The blocked-inbox `missing_disposition` attention is
suppressed for escalated handoffs with a live run or wake. This matches
the existing required-state suppression.
## Verification
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/IssueBlockedNotice.test.tsx
src/components/IssueChatThreadSystemNotice.test.tsx
src/components/IssueChatThread.test.tsx` — 106 tests pass, including 6
new tests for the live/stale/scheduled-retry matrix
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/IssuesList.test.tsx
src/components/KanbanBoard.test.tsx src/lib` — pass
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-blocker-attention.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-list-assignee-filter-routes.test.ts
src/services/recovery/successful-run-handoff.test.ts
src/__tests__/attention-service.test.ts` — pass, including new
escalated-liveness cases
- `pnpm typecheck` clean in `ui` and `server`; `node
scripts/check-token-gates.mjs` clean
- Manual check: a live issue's API payload showed `required: true` with
`hasLiveContinuation: true` and a `liveRunId` while the banner was still
on screen; with this change that state renders no complaint
## Risks
- Behavioral shift only; no schema or migration changes. All complaints
reappear as soon as the continuation stops without a disposition, so
nothing can get lost permanently.
- A queued wake counts as a live continuation. If a wake sits queued for
a long time, the warning stays hidden for that time. The blocked-inbox
path already behaved this way; the UI now matches it.
- The scheduled-retry carve-out keeps the current Retry-now workflow
intact.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Issue thread confirmations can pause an issue until a board user
makes a decision
> - Atomic checkout is the only supported transition into `in_progress`
> - An accepted confirmation left a creator-owned issue in `in_review`
while it started a continuation worker
> - The worker could run without the normal checkout state transition
> - This pull request returns that narrow review state to `todo` before
it queues the continuation wake
> - The benefit is that the worker can check out the issue and move it
to `in_progress` through the normal atomic path
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No matching public GitHub issue exists. The following pull requests are
related but do not fix this case:
- Refs #10376. It handles refusal paths for user-owned issues.
- Refs #8516. It handles rejected confirmations for user-owned issues.
- Refs #10274. It gives ownerless waking interactions an agent owner.
**What happened?**
An agent created a confirmation on an issue that was assigned to that
same agent and had status `in_review`. A board user accepted the
confirmation. Paperclip started a continuation worker, but the issue
stayed `in_review`. The normal checkout fields stayed empty.
**Expected behavior**
Paperclip must return the issue to an actionable state before it wakes
the continuation worker. The worker must then use atomic checkout to
move the issue to `in_progress`.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Assign an issue to an agent and set the issue status to `in_review`.
2. Let that agent create a `request_confirmation` with
`wake_assignee_on_accept`.
3. Accept the confirmation as a board user.
4. Observe that the continuation worker starts while the issue remains
`in_review`.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The bug reproduced on master before this pull request. This branch is
based on `ffd62a4cbb`.
**Deployment mode**
Local development. The server logic is deployment-independent.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Codex exposed the bug, but the issue-thread continuation logic is
adapter-independent.
**Database mode**
The regression test uses embedded PostgreSQL. The logic is database-mode
independent.
**Access context**
An agent creates the confirmation. A board user accepts it.
## What Changed
- Allow an accepted agent-authored confirmation to return an agent-owned
issue only when the issue is `in_review` and the owner is the creating
agent.
- Keep active `in_progress` work unchanged so an accepted confirmation
cannot reset a running worker to `todo`.
- Add embedded-PostgreSQL regression coverage for user-owned review,
creator-owned review, and creator-owned active work.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-thread-interactions-service.test.ts --config
vitest.config.ts` — 48 passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed for all workspace projects.
- `pnpm build` — passed for all workspace projects.
- `pnpm test:run` — 3,411 passed. Three timing-sensitive assertions
failed in the unchanged `heartbeat-workspace-busy.test.ts` suite.
- Isolated rerun of `heartbeat-workspace-busy.test.ts` — 15 passed.
## Risks
Low risk. The behavior change is limited to accepted confirmations on
non-terminal `in_review` issues that the creating agent already owns. It
does not change active work, blocked work, terminal issues, other agent
owners, schemas, or public API contracts.
> This is a focused bug fix. It does not add roadmap scope.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex based on GPT-5. The runtime does not expose the exact
deployment ID or context-window size. The model used reasoning,
repository tools, code editing, Git, and local test execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task assignment policies control which agents can receive work.
> - Protected-agent policy flags currently stop assignment.
> - The existing error says that the assignment requires approval.
> - Paperclip has no approval workflow for this policy.
> - This pull request models the policy as a hard block and gives the
operator an action that exists.
> - The benefit is accurate API guidance without weakening the existing
fail-closed behavior.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #6386
**What happened?**
A protected-agent assignment denial said that approval was required. No
approval record or approval action existed for this policy, so the
message sent agents and operators to a dead end.
**Expected behavior**
The authorization result must state that protected-agent policy blocks
assignment. It must tell a company administrator to remove the block
before retrying.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Set `authorizationPolicy.protectedAgent.requiresApproval` to `true`
on a target agent.
2. Give another agent the `tasks:assign` permission.
3. Preview or attempt assignment to the protected agent.
4. Observe that the old response promises an approval step that does not
exist.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`c54936e2e9` on `master`.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source. The behavior is in the core authorization service and
is not deployment-specific.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific.
## What Changed
- Added canonical `protectedAgent.blockAssignment` and
`protectedAgent.blockReason` policy fields.
- Kept the legacy approval-named flags as fail-closed compatibility
aliases.
- Changed denial copy to name the hard block and the administrator
action.
- Added authorization and plugin-host regression coverage for canonical
and legacy policy data.
- Updated the V1 implementation contract with the protected-assignment
rule.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/authorization-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/plugin-access-authorization-host-services.test.ts`
— 2 files passed, 61 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared build` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server build` — passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — all gates clean.
- `git diff --check public-gh/master...HEAD` — passed.
The repository-wide local wrappers exceeded the execution host resource
limit before they printed a final summary. The PR check loop will use
GitHub CI as the complete test and build authority.
## Risks
- Low: assignment remains fail-closed. The change corrects the policy
name and denial guidance.
- Low: legacy fields remain supported, so existing plugin-owned policy
data does not change behavior.
- Low: the new policy schemas allow unknown keys for forward
compatibility, as the existing authorization policy schema already does.

## Model Used

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The decisions desk shows pending decisions that need an operator
response
> - A strict decision cannot apply its effects after its target task
changes
> - A decision still remained pending when every target task finished

each decision affects
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related PR: #10801 removes the issue-page decision strip, which makes
clear queue provenance more important.
**What happened?**
A strict decision stayed pending until its time-to-live limit after
every target task reached `done`. The decision card linked only the
origin task. The origin task is where the agent proposed the decision,
and it can differ from the task that the decision affects. An operator
could therefore open a finished task with no visible decision and no
explanation of the real target.
**Expected behavior**
Paperclip must expire a strict decision when all of its targets finish
after the decision is proposed. The card must show and link every target
task that differs from the origin task.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a strict decision that targets an active task from a different
origin task.
2. Move the target task to `done` without resolving the decision.
3. Run the decision expiry sweep.
4. Observe that the old code keeps the decision open until its
time-to-live limit.
5. Observe that the old card links only the origin task.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The bug reproduces on upstream `master` before this pull request.
**Deployment mode**
Local dev and self-hosted server modes are affected because the behavior
is in the shared decision service and board UI.
## What Changed
- Expire an open strict decision with reason `target_completed` when
every strict target reached `done` after proposal.
- Keep decisions that intentionally target an already-finished task.
- Keep lenient-only decisions open.
- Keep continuation delivery consistent with other expiry reasons.
- Add target-task links to the decision card provenance line.
- Use one shared target-ID helper across signing, execution, expiry,
card provenance, and resolver preloading.
- Add service and UI regression tests for primary, secondary, and
target-completed cases.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/DecisionCard.test.tsx
server/src/__tests__/decisions-service.test.ts` — 51 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — all gates clean.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed.
## Risks
- Low migration risk. This change does not alter the database schema.
- The expiry sweep performs the existing strict-target query and adds a
snapshot comparison before expiry.
- A decision remains open if any strict target is active or if a target
was already `done` at proposal time.
> The roadmap lists work queues as planned. This pull request fixes the
existing decisions desk. It does not add a new queue subsystem.
## Model Used
- Implementation: Anthropic Claude through Claude Code. The runtime did
not expose the exact model snapshot or context-window size. The model
used reasoning, repository tools, code execution, and test execution.
- PR preparation: OpenAI Codex with GPT-5. The runtime did not expose a
dated model snapshot or context-window size. The model 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
> - Operators need one activity feed for human, agent, plugin, and
system changes
> - The existing audit endpoint returns only rows that have agent
attribution
> - The full audit view also requires a dedicated permission
> - This pull request adds an explicit all-actors scope with basic and
privileged access tiers
> - The benefit is that company members can inspect the shared activity
history while sensitive attribution and export controls stay protected
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The company audit activity endpoint and the board audit route.
**Subsystem affected**
Server REST API and board UI routing/API contracts.
**Current behavior**
The agent-action audit endpoint excludes activity without an agent ID.
It also rejects company members who do not have the full audit
permission.
**Proposed behavior**
Callers can opt into `actorScope=all`. A company member receives all
actor kinds with sensitive attribution fields removed. A permitted board
user receives complete rows and can use attribution filters. The default
scope and CSV permission remain unchanged.
**Reason and benefit**
The board needs one chronological activity source for user, agent,
plugin, and system actions. A two-tier response keeps the feed useful
without widening access to detailed attribution or export capabilities.
**Breaking changes**
None. The endpoint keeps the existing agent-only scope and permission
behavior by default.
## What Changed
- Added `actorScope=all` to the unified audit query and included
activity from every actor type.
- Added a company-readable basic tier that removes run,
responsible-user, agent, and details attribution.
- Kept attribution filters and CSV export behind
`audit:view_agent_actions`.
- Added route and integration coverage for basic readers, permitted
readers, pagination, filter denial, and all actor kinds.
- Added the missing unprefixed `/audit` redirect and company route
classification.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/activity-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/agent-action-audit-routes.test.ts
ui/src/lib/company-routes.test.ts --reporter=verbose` (35 tests passed)
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm test:run`
- `pnpm build`
## Risks
- The all-actors query can return more rows than the legacy agent-only
query. Cursor pagination and existing limits bound each request.
- The basic tier intentionally exposes action and actor-kind context. It
removes detailed run, agent, responsible-user, and details attribution.
- The legacy endpoint behavior remains the default, which reduces
compatibility risk.
> The roadmap marks activity log and action attribution as shipped. This
change improves that existing capability and does not introduce a
separate workflow system.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, `gpt-5.6-sol`, 114K context, agentic reasoning with tool
use and code execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents write to tasks they do not own. They comment, they change
fields, and the control plane now permits this by default for
standard-trust agents on any task they can read
> - This makes a task thread ambiguous. A reader sees a comment from an
agent that is not the assignee, but no surface says whose authority that
write rode
> - The same gap applies to field edits. The activity stream named the
verb, but it did not show the before value, the after value, or the
reason the write was permitted
> - The remaining refusals are also opaque. An agent that hits a wall
receives a 403 with no boundary name, no actor who can act, and no
sanctioned path. One real incident spent a full detour to find the
workaround
> - This pull request adds the three surfaces that make open cross-task
writes legible: an attribution chip, a field-level audit receipt, and an
actionable denial contract shared by the API and the UI
> - The benefit is that a reader can answer "who did this, on whose
authority, and was it allowed?" on the task itself, and a blocked writer
is told what to do next
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists for this work, so the enhancement is described
here.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Cross-task agent writes are permitted, but they are not explained. A
task thread can hold comments from agents that are not the assignee, and
the activity stream can hold field changes made by those agents. Neither
surface names the responsible user behind the write. When a write is
refused, the error text does not name the boundary or the way forward.
**Subsystem affected**
Issue detail UI (comment thread and activity stream), the issue write
authorization responses in the server, and the shared copy contract that
both consume.
**Current behavior**
- An agent comment on a task the agent does not own looks the same as an
assignee comment.
- An `issue.updated` activity row states the verb only. It does not show
the field-level before and after values, the responsible user, or the
authorization reason.
- A refused write returns a short message such as an ownership error.
The message does not state which rule fired, who is able to perform the
action, or which alternative path is sanctioned.
**Proposed behavior**
- An agent comment on a task the agent does not own carries a chip that
reads "for {user}". The chip names the responsible user. Its tooltip
states that the author is not the assignee and cannot exceed that user's
permissions.
- Each `issue.updated` row shows a receipt: the changed fields with
before and after values, the responsible user, and the authorization
reason. This applies to board edits as well as agent edits.
- Each refusal states three things: the boundary that fired, who is able
to act, and the sanctioned path. The API error body and the in-app
notice use the same words, because both read one shared contract.
Related pull requests, found by searching this repository:
- Refs #10837 — merged. It added the default-open cross-task write rule,
the comment attribution data, and the per-run containment cap that this
pull request makes visible.
- Refs #10114 — open. It proposes a narrower authorization change in the
same area.
- Refs #7998 — open. It proposes append-only cross-assignee comments as
an alternative to opening writes.
## What Changed
- Adds `packages/shared/src/issue-write-denial.ts`. This is one copy
contract for eight ways an issue write can be refused: not visible,
responsible-user ceiling, responsible user unavailable, excluded actor
class, assignee run lock, per-run cross-task cap, missing run context,
and rejected attribution. Each entry names the boundary, who can act,
and the sanctioned path.
- Maps server authorization decisions onto that contract in
`server/src/routes/issues.ts` and
`server/src/services/cross-issue-influence-limit.ts`. The flattened
`error` string carries all three obligations, and `details.code` lets
the UI render the same words. The two cap codes keep the names they
already ship under.
- Adds `CommentAttributionChip`. It renders "for {user}" beside the
author name on agent comments where the author is not the assignee. It
renders nothing when no responsible user is recorded, so older rows stay
clean. It is wired into both `IssueChatThread` and the flagged
`TaskChatThread` redesign.
- Adds `IssueFieldChangeReceipt`. It renders the change receipt under
`issue.updated` rows in the activity stream. Ids resolve to agent and
user names where the directory is loaded. Server-truncated text is
labelled as a preview, so the receipt never implies that it shows a
whole value.
- Adds `IssueWriteDenialNotice`. It renders the shared copy in the app,
keyed off the denial events the server logs on a task.
- Adds a public `/ux-lab/cross-issue-collaboration` page. It renders all
three surfaces and their edge cases for review without a seeded thread.
This follows the existing `ux-lab` pages.
## Verification

1. Start the UI only: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vite`.
2. Open `/ux-lab/cross-issue-collaboration`. No session is needed,
because `ux-lab` routes are public.
3. All three surfaces were captured at 1440x900 in light mode and dark
mode, and at 390x844. The page reported no errors.
4. The chip tooltip was opened by a hover and by a keyboard focus.
Rendering the page found defects that the tests had missed. Three copy
and contrast defects were fixed, and two of them are now pinned by a
test. A design review then found three layout defects, which are also
fixed: the denial notice orphaned its label when a value wrapped, the
receipt icon wrapped onto its own line at narrow widths, and the chip
tooltip was reachable by hover only.
## Risks
Low risk, and additive.
- Every new surface renders nothing when its data is absent. Comments
without a recorded responsible user show no chip, and activity events
without a receipt show no receipt, so existing rows do not change.
- No migration is included. The data these surfaces read already ships.
- The wire values of the two per-run cap denial codes are unchanged.
Only the human-readable text changes, plus six codes that had no
`details.code` before.
- The denial copy is read by agents as well as people. If wording must
change later, one shared module is the only place to change it.
- Roadmap check: this extends the completed "Activity log & action
attribution" area rather than duplicating planned core work.
## Model Used
Claude Opus 5 (Anthropic), model id `claude-opus-5[1m]`, 1M context
window, extended thinking, with tool use and code execution. It ran as
an agent in Claude Code and drove a real browser to capture the review
screenshots.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators use the same board application in self-hosted and
Paperclip Cloud deployments.
> - A Cloud tenant contains one company, so an in-app company switch
does not change the active Cloud stack.
> - Cloud operators need the sidebar and company surfaces to use the
signed-in user's stack portfolio.
> - The server must derive Cloud identity and links from trusted
instance context instead of client input.
> - This pull request adds canonical Cloud context, a trusted stack
portfolio proxy, and Cloud-aware navigation.
> - The benefit is consistent stack switching on Cloud while self-hosted
company behavior stays unchanged.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: server REST routes and the React board UI.
**Problem or motivation**
A Cloud-managed instance contains one company. The existing company
switcher could only switch records inside that tenant. It could not move
the operator to another Cloud stack. The existing header also gave long
organization names too little width.
**Proposed solution**
Expose a canonical public Cloud context in health data. Add a trusted
server proxy for the current user's stack portfolio. Use that data in
the board UI to switch stacks with top-level navigation. Keep the
existing company behavior on self-hosted instances. Move search into the
navigation and keep long organization names inside the sidebar panel.
**Alternatives considered**
An in-app `/stacks` route was rejected because Cloud tenant hosts
reserve that path and stack selection must wake or authenticate another
tenant. Client-supplied user identity was rejected because the server
can derive the trusted Cloud actor.
**Roadmap alignment**
This change advances the Cloud deployments milestone. It keeps the
product local-first and Cloud-ready without changing the self-hosted
mental model.
## What Changed
- Added canonical Cloud instance context and public health metadata.
- Added a Cloud-only stack portfolio proxy with trusted actor forwarding
and per-user caching.
- Prevented normal company creation on Cloud-managed instances.
- Switched the sidebar and Companies page from company actions to stack
actions on Cloud.
- Added full-page stack navigation and Cloud create-stack links.
- Moved search into the sidebar navigation so the organization name
keeps more width.
- Added truncation and hover recovery for long organization and stack
names.
- Added server and UI regression coverage for Cloud and self-hosted
behavior.
- Updated the implementation specification for the Cloud contracts.
## Verification
- `node scripts/check-token-gates.mjs` passed. All three token gates are
clean.
- `pnpm --dir server exec vitest run src/__tests__/health.test.ts
src/__tests__/cloud-instance.test.ts src/__tests__/cloud-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/company-cloud-floor.test.ts
src/__tests__/company-portability-routes.test.ts` passed: 5 files and 66
tests.
- `pnpm --dir ui exec vitest run
src/components/SidebarCompanyMenu.test.tsx` passed: 1 file and 11 tests.
- Pre-PR QA report `7da87ca7` passed all 8 acceptance criteria with real
HTTP route factories and real Chromium screenshots in Cloud and
self-hosted modes.
- Security reviews passed for the canonical Cloud context and stack
portfolio proxy.
## Risks
- Cloud stack switching depends on the configured Cloud application and
tenant portfolio URLs.
- The new health `cloud` block is public by design, but it contains only
canonical public instance metadata.
- The stack proxy fails closed on self-hosted instances and derives the
user identity from the trusted actor.
- Self-hosted navigation and company creation retain their existing
paths and behavior.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip keeps company work visible and governed.
> - Sandbox agents run serial sync work across worker and host
boundaries.
> - The current span path hid real wall-clock time for that sync work.
> - The host needs safe timestamps if it wants true span width.
> - This pull request carries worker timestamps, validates them, and
records the real duration.
> - The benefit is clearer operator visibility for sandbox sync work.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This touches `packages/plugins`, `server`, and the
Daytona plugin test surface.
**Problem or motivation**
Sandbox sync spans opened and closed in one host call. The native width
stayed near zero, so the real time spent in serial round trips was hard
to see.
**Proposed solution**
Carry worker start and end times across the span record protocol.
Validate the pair at the host boundary. Record the host span with the
true duration when the pair is safe.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep the numeric duration only. That keeps the data, but it does not
widen the span and it does not show the real wall-clock time.
**Roadmap alignment**
This fits the `Cloud / Sandbox agents` and `Artifacts & Work Products`
areas in `ROADMAP.md`. I found no other roadmap item that covers this
span-width gap.
**Additional context**
The host allowlist stays narrow. Unknown names still map to
`sandbox.provider.other`. Invalid timestamp pairs still fall back to the
synchronous path.
Related public PRs: none found.
## What Changed
- Added optional `startTimeMs` and `endTimeMs` fields to the
`span.record` protocol.
- Captured start and end times in the worker tracer and sent them to the
host.
- Validated host timestamps with finite, ordered, bounded checks before
span reconstruction.
- Extended the host allowlist to the sandbox sync command names.
- Wrapped each inbound sync round trip in its own named span.
- Added tests for the worker path, host boundary, host recorder, and
Daytona sync flow.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugins-sdk test`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server test`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/daytona-plugin test`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server tsc --noEmit` still shows
pre-existing `drizzle-orm` duplicate-declaration errors in this sandbox.
The changed files do not touch those lines.
- GitHub checks are green.
- Greptile review is 5/5.
- No open review threads remain.
## Risks
- A bad timestamp pair can fall back to the synchronous path.
- The host clock gate can reject spans if the pair is stale, reversed,
or too large.
- The new worker fields change the wire protocol, but the public plugin
tracer contract stays the same.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5, tool-enabled.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents coordinate through the server API. They find sub-tasks by
filtering the company issues list by parent.
> - `GET /api/companies/:companyId/issues` accepts `?parentId=`. Many
callers send `?parentIssueId=` instead, which the handler never read.
> - The mismatch is silent. The filter is dropped and the full company
list comes back, so agents fetch everything and filter client-side.
Issue #3846 reports this.
> - `parentIssueId` is not an arbitrary spelling. It is the field name
the wakeup payloads in this same route file already use, so callers
expect it.
> - This pull request accepts `parentIssueId` as an alias for `parentId`
at the route boundary, on both the issues list and `issues/count`.
> - The benefit is that parent filtering works for both spellings, and
the list and its count cannot disagree.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#3846
Related: #3870 proposes the same alias for the list route.
## What Changed
- `server/src/routes/issues.ts`: `listFilters.parentId` in `GET
/companies/:companyId/issues` now reads `req.query.parentId ??
req.query.parentIssueId`.
- `server/src/routes/issues.ts`: `blockedCountFilters.parentId` in `GET
/companies/:companyId/issues/count` reads the same alias, so the list
and its count agree.
- `server/src/__tests__/issues-parent-id-alias.test.ts`: new regression
test for alias resolution, precedence, and absence.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm run test:run --
server/src/__tests__/issues-parent-id-alias.test.ts`.
- The test covers four query shapes: `?parentId=`, `?parentIssueId=`,
both present (short form wins), and neither present (filter unset).
- Existing callers are unaffected. The UI client `ui/src/api/issues.ts`
only sets `parentId`. Nullish coalescing falls back only when the
primary key is absent.
- The service layer applies the filter with `if (filters?.parentId)` in
`server/src/services/issues.ts`. This pull request does not change it.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change only widens accepted query input. Both spellings
resolve, and the short form still wins.
- `?parentId=` with an empty value stays falsy and unfiltered, exactly
as before.
- This route has no validation middleware, and these list filters are
not in the published OpenAPI surface. No contract needs an update.
## Model Used
- Claude Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5`), extended thinking with tool use, run
by the maintainer's triage agent. It rebased the original commit onto
current `master`, extended the alias to `issues/count`, and wrote the
regression test. @scokeepa authored the original one-line route change.

Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip uses spans and traces to show how work moves through
agents and tools
> - sandbox.exec spans need a real parent so the trace tree matches the
work tree
> - Wrong parent links make execution history hard to read and hard to
debug
> - This pull request adds a single task.run root span and re-parents
live work to the nearest active span
> - The change keeps detached work under the closest live span instead
of the HTTP root
> - The benefit is a clear trace tree for sandbox.exec work and better
execution diagnosis
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
sandbox.exec spans attached to the wrong parent or to no live parent in
some paths.
**Expected behavior**
Each sandbox.exec span should attach to the nearest live span.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run work that creates sandbox.exec spans during startup and callback
bridge paths.
2. Inspect the trace tree.
3. Observe an orphaned span or a span with the wrong parent.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`672e9de9c8b004aebc1f08e24b612ab067735ad1`
**Deployment mode**
Local dev.
**Additional context**
The branch adds the task.run root span, parents sandbox.startup to it,
and re-parents detached bridge work to the nearest live span.
## What Changed
- Added a task.run root span for the run tree.
- Re-parented sandbox.startup, agent.turn, and detached bridge work to
the nearest live span.
- Added end-to-end trace-tree assertions for the full parent chain.
- Added negative coverage so sandbox.exec does not parent to the HTTP
root.
## Verification
- Focused Vitest suite passed:
`packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts`,
`packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/startup-timing.test.ts`,
`packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target-sandbox.test.ts`,
`packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-callback-bridge.test.ts`, and
`server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target.test.ts`.
- Result: 5 files passed, 204 tests passed.
- The submitted branch also reported `adapter-utils` checks, `server`
seam checks, and `tsc` exit 0 in the handoff state.
## Risks
- This change can alter trace tree shape in tools that read parent
spans.
- A missed bridge path could still point to the wrong live span.
- Low risk for runtime behavior, because the change only changes span
parent attribution.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5, tool-use capable.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for autonomous AI companies.
> - The company export path writes `.paperclip.yaml` data for large
companies.
> - The YAML renderer used a spread append that can overflow the call
stack on large arrays.
> - That failure turns a normal export into a 500 for large companies.
> - This pull request rewrites the renderer to use an iterative stack
and removes the last spread append.
> - The benefit is that large exports finish without a RangeError and
keep the same output.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
I searched GitHub for related work.
I found PR #7506.
This pull request closes the last spread site that PR left open.
**What happened?**
The company export failed with `RangeError: Maximum call stack size
exceeded` on large YAML output.
**Expected behavior**
The export should finish without a stack overflow.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Export a company with a very large YAML payload.
2. Render the export through `renderYamlBlock` or `renderFrontmatter`.
3. Observe that the old spread append can overflow the call stack.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`79f3a216215500e2ec1a928d5eb5c09364c2abf5`
**Deployment mode**
Local dev (`pnpm dev`) or built from source.
**Additional context**
Related public PR: #7506.
This change keeps the YAML shape, scalar format, and key order the same.
## What Changed
- Reworked `renderYamlBlock` to render iteratively.
- Replaced the last spread append in `renderFrontmatter` with a loop.
- Added regression tests for high-volume block and frontmatter arrays.
## Verification
- `node_modules/.bin/vitest run
server/src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts`
- The two new overflow tests pass.
- The existing round-trip tests still pass.
- `tsc --noEmit` is clean for
`server/src/services/company-portability.ts`.
## Risks
Low risk.
The change keeps exported YAML content and ordering the same.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5, tool-using coding agent.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents move issues to `in_review` and rely on a "review path" (an
interaction, an approval, a monitor, or a named reviewer) to tell them
who decides next.
> - That review path can silently disappear. A user comment supersedes
the pending interaction, a monitor is exhausted, or a run ends without
restoring a path. The issue then sits in `in_review` with nobody
reviewing it and no visible action.
> - Such issues become invisible zombies. Nobody knows a decision is
owed, so the work stalls forever.
> - This pull request makes the review path a maintained invariant,
exposes a `reviewAttention` surface, and gives every stalled review
three inline actions in the UI.
> - The benefit is that an `in_review` issue always shows who reviews
it, or shows an amber "nobody is reviewing this" notice with one-click
Approve, Request changes, and Send back to work.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This pull request describes the problem inline. The tracking issue is
internal.
**Subsystem affected**
The review and attention loop that agents and humans share: the
`in_review` status, the `reviewAttention` surface, the /decisions
attention feed, and the issue-page review panel.
**Problem or motivation**
Agent-owned issues in `in_review` can lose their last review path. A
user comment supersedes the pending interaction. A monitor is exhausted.
A run ends without restoring a path. The issue then sits in `in_review`
with no reviewer and no visible action. It becomes an invisible zombie
and the work never progresses.
**Proposed solution**
Maintain the review path as a server invariant. Expose a
`reviewAttention` field that says what is under review, who decides, and
since when. Render a persistent review panel on the issue page and
inline actions on the /decisions feed. Keep human PATCHes into
`in_review` ungated, but record the requesting user so the panel never
renders empty.
**Alternatives considered**
A pure background auto-recovery sweep. This stays opt-in and is not
enough on its own, because it is invisible to the human. A bare status
banner. This is rejected, because it gives no action to resolve the
stall.
**Roadmap alignment**
This improves the core review and attention loop that both agents and
humans use every day.
## What Changed
- **Server — maintained review-path invariant:** when an issue enters or
sits in `in_review`, the server derives and persists a review path
(interaction, approval, monitor, or the requesting user) and recovers a
stale path with one bounded wake instead of leaving the issue pathless.
- **Server — `reviewAttention` surface:** a new field describes what is
under review (bound target with links), who decides, since when, and
whether the review is stalled. Stalled agent-assigned reviews are now
included in the attention feed.
- **Server — inline stalled-review decisions:** secured routes let a
permitted responder Approve (→ `done`), Request changes (→ `todo` + wake
carrying the note), or Send back to work (→ `todo` + wake) directly from
the attention feed.
- **Server — resume-intent wake:** an `in_review -> todo` transition now
wakes the assigned agent so a resumed review is not dropped.
- **Server — user-entry symmetry:** user PATCHes into `in_review` stay
ungated (no 422 for humans) and record the requesting user, who becomes
the named responder when no other path exists.
- **UI — review panel:** a persistent `IssueReviewPanel` renders above
the thread whenever status is `in_review`. The covered state shows the
bound target, responder, and outcomes and hoists the pending
interaction/approval card. The stalled state shows the amber notice plus
the three actions.
- **UI — decisions card actions:** the same three actions render inline
on the /decisions `AttentionQueueRow`.
- **UI — responsive fix:** the stalled action row stacks to full-width
buttons at phone width and returns to a horizontal row at `sm` and up.
New 390px stories capture the phone layout.
## Verification
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/IssueReviewPanel.test.tsx
src/components/AttentionQueueRow.test.tsx src/lib/attention.test.ts
src/api/issues.test.ts` — 91 tests pass.
- Server suites added and updated: `issue-review-attention`,
`issue-stalled-review-decision-routes`, `review-path-recovery`,
`recovery-observability`, and related route/liveness tests (run by CI).
- A designer reviewed the UI at 390px and desktop in light and dark
themes on both the issue-page panel and the /decisions card. The stalled
action row stacks cleanly at phone width with no overlap and keeps the
horizontal row on desktop.
## Risks
- **Migration:** adds migration `0200` (next after master `0199`, no
renumber). It extends the agent-wakeup-requests schema and is additive.
- **Behavioral shift:** `in_review -> todo` now dispatches a wake. This
is intended (resume intent) and covered by tests.
- **Authz:** the inline decision routes are permission-gated. Only a
permitted responder sees and can trigger the actions.
- Overall risk is moderate and contained to the review and attention
loop.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane that coordinates autonomous agent
work.
> - Agents need to collaborate on issues beyond their current
assignment.
> - Cross-issue comments and updates are useful, but an unbounded run
can create cascading side effects.
> - The control plane must preserve company-wide collaboration while
containing each run's influence.
> - Comment attribution must also show the responsible user and the
acting agent in audits.
> - This pull request adds run-bound cross-issue containment,
attribution, and agent-class wake rules.
> - The benefit is safer collaboration without restoring issue-assignee
ownership restrictions.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Agent-authenticated issue comments, updates, reopen behavior, and
assignee wake routing.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: server routes and services, shared contracts, database
schema and migration, and implementation documentation.
**Current behavior**
An authenticated agent can collaborate across company issues, but one
heartbeat run has no per-run side-effect boundary. Comment records also
do not persist the responsible user separately from the acting agent.
**Proposed behavior**
Require a valid heartbeat run for agent cross-issue comments and
updates. Audit each attempt and cap a run at 20 cross-issue effects.
Keep the cap in log-only mode until it automatically changes to
enforcement at 2026-08-11 00:00 UTC. Preserve same-issue writes. Use
agent-class wakes for agent comments. Keep same-run completion comments
from reopening completed work. Record the responsible user on
agent-authored comments and activity.
**Reason and benefit**
Agents can collaborate on other issues without an assignment gate, while
each run has an atomic and inspectable side-effect limit. Operators can
identify both the acting agent and the responsible user.
**Breaking changes**
After 2026-08-11 00:00 UTC, the twenty-first cross-issue comment or
update from one heartbeat run returns a containment error. Agent
cross-issue writes without valid run context are rejected. The migration
is additive and backfills existing agent-authored comment attribution
where the source data is available.
## What Changed
- Added an atomic per-run counter for cross-issue agent comments and
updates.
- Added audit events for allowed and rejected cross-issue effects.
- Added the automatic log-only to enforcement flip at 2026-08-11 00:00
UTC.
- Added responsible-user attribution to agent-authored comments,
activity records, shared types, and validators.
- Added an additive migration and migration coverage for existing
comments.
- Updated reopen, resume, and wake behavior so agent comments create
agent-class wakes and same-run completion comments remain inert.
- Updated the implementation specification and regression coverage.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/cross-issue-influence-limit.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-comment-attribution-audit-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-comment-reopen-routes.test.ts
packages/db/src/issue-comment-on-behalf-migration.test.ts` — 97 tests
passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed, including migration safety checks.
- `pnpm test:run` — server batch: 3,364 passed and 2 skipped; UI batch:
3,504 passed. One unrelated CLI doctor test warned because this agent
runtime injects static AWS credentials.
- `env -u AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -u AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY pnpm exec vitest
run cli/src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts` — 8 tests passed and confirmed
the CLI failure was ambient-environment sensitive.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
## Risks
- The fixed enforcement timestamp changes production behavior
automatically on 2026-08-11 00:00 UTC. Audit logs before that time
provide rollout visibility.
- The per-run counter serializes on the heartbeat-run row. This prevents
concurrent attempts from racing past the cap but adds a small lock scope
for cross-issue writes.
- Existing comments can only be backfilled when their acting run or
agent attribution is recoverable.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane that lets humans govern companies of
AI agents.
> - Issue-thread interactions are the structured handoff point for
confirmations, questions, suggested tasks, and other governed decisions.
> - Those interactions previously assumed that only board users could
resolve them, preventing one agent from explicitly addressing another
agent for a response.
> - Agent resolution needs company-level governance, auditable resolver
identity, safe terminal-state handling, and attention routing so
authorization is enforced server-side rather than inferred from UI
behavior.
> - This pull request adds governed agent resolution, withdrawal and
terminal expiry semantics, explicit agent addressees, lifecycle
reconciliation, and attention-feed filtering.
> - The benefit is that agents can participate in structured decisions
without weakening board control, company isolation, wake behavior, or
audit invariants.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Subsystem affected
Issue-thread interactions across database, shared contracts, server
authorization/services, adapter callbacks, agent skill guidance, API
docs, and UI governance surfaces.
### Problem or motivation
Structured interactions were board-only, had no explicit agent
addressee, and lacked durable withdrawal/terminal-expiry semantics. That
made peer-agent decisions impossible to authorize and audit safely.
### Proposed solution
Persist requested/effective resolver policy and addressee identity,
enforce company governance and eligible agent resolution, reconcile
addressee lifecycle changes, expose withdrawal and terminal expiry, and
route attention to the intended active agent with board fallback.
### Alternatives considered
Implicitly authorizing the issue assignee or mentioned agents was
rejected as ambiguous and difficult to audit. Using comments alone was
rejected because it loses structured outcomes and continuation behavior.
### Roadmap alignment
Supports the ROADMAP direction for lightweight leadership-agent
communication that still resolves into governed decisions and work
objects.
### Additional context
Public GitHub issue/PR search found no duplicate implementation; open PR
search for interaction resolver governance and agent addressees only
returned this PR.
## What Changed
- Add company-scoped interaction resolver governance contracts and
persistence.
- Add requested/effective resolver policy, resolver identity,
withdrawal, and terminal-expiry behavior.
- Add explicit `addresseeAgentId` validation, authorization,
persistence, lifecycle reconciliation, API documentation, and skill
guidance.
- Route pending addressed interactions to the intended invokable agent
and fall back to board attention when that agent becomes ineligible or
is deleted.
- Preserve sandbox callback identity fields required by governed
resolution paths.
- Add migrations `0193` and `0194` plus route, service, attention,
adapter, CLI, and UI coverage.
- Add governance state and company settings UI, including responsive
mobile behavior and distinct withdrawn/expired audit presentation.
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed, including migration numbering and safety
checks.
- `pnpm test:run` — feature/server and UI workspace suites passed; one
unrelated CLI AWS doctor test observed injected static AWS credentials
and warned instead of passing.
- `env -u AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -u AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY pnpm exec vitest
run cli/src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts --project paperclipai` — 8 tests
passed, confirming the failure was environment-sensitive.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- Latest rebased head `e24cece6be9f1877bdbac7691bcb44fd583c0161`
completed all GitHub CI jobs successfully.
## Risks
- Migrations add interaction and company-governance fields; numbering is
conflict-free on current `master`, additive statements are idempotent,
and migration safety checks pass.
- Agent authorization behavior expands beyond board-only resolution, but
defaults remain board-only and coverage exercises company boundaries,
resolver eligibility, lifecycle invalidation, wake behavior, withdrawal,
expiry, and attention fallback.
- Attention routing depends on current agent invokability;
reconciliation and read-time filtering prevent stale addressees from
retaining visibility or resolution authority.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The claude_local adapter runs Claude Code on sandbox execution
targets, and operators verify an agent's configuration with the
test-environment probe before running it
> - Real runs merge the selected environment's env vars (secret refs
included) under the agent's adapter config env, but the probe built its
config from the adapter config alone — so environment-level auth worked
in runs while the Test button reported missing auth, and a dropped
secret binding passed silently
> - The claude env-test hints also did not recognize
`CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` even though the CLI accepts it, and a hello
probe that hit the subscription usage limit reported a hard failure
although authentication worked
> - Separately, the claude-local package test suites were absent from
the CI project list, so two suites drifted broken without notice
> - This pull request makes the probe resolve the same layered env as a
real run, adds the missing auth hint, classifies usage-limit probe
results as a warning, repairs the drifted suites, and turns the
claude-local project on in CI
> - The benefit is a Test button that tells the truth about
environment-level configuration, and a test suite that actually gates
the claude-local adapter
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists; related open PRs: Refs #9488 (recognizes
CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN in environment checks — overlaps with the
auth-hint portion of this PR via a differently named check; it does not
cover the environment-envVars probe merge, the usage-limit
classification, or the CI coverage), Refs #9933 (live credential
validation in environment checks — complementary, no file-level conflict
with the route change).
The underlying problem, following the enhancement template:
**Current behavior**
The test-environment route builds the probe config from the agent's
adapterConfig only. Real runs merge the selected environment's envVars
under the agent env, so environment-level env vars (including auth such
as `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` or `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` bound as environment
secrets) work in runs while "Test environment" cannot see them, and a
missing secret binding passes silently. The claude env-test hints do not
recognize `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN`. A hello probe that hits the
subscription usage limit reports a hard `claude_hello_probe_failed`. The
claude-local package test suites do not run in CI, and two of them are
stale.
**Proposed behavior**
The probe resolves the selected environment's envVars
(environment-consumer secret bindings included) and merges them under
the agent config env with the run-path precedence; missing bindings
surface as an explicit error check that fails the test. The env-test
emits a `claude_oauth_token_configured` info check when that variable is
set. Usage-limit probe results classify as a
`claude_hello_probe_usage_limited` warning because auth works and only
the usage window is spent. The claude-local suites run in CI. Docs state
the resulting facts.
**Reason and benefit**
The Test button should tell the truth: it previously contradicted run
behavior for environment-level configuration and hid broken secret
bindings. Enabling the package suites in CI prevents further silent
drift — two suites were already broken on master without anyone
noticing.
**Breaking changes**
None. Runs are unchanged. The probe route only adds env layers and
checks; setups without environment envVars behave exactly as before.
## What Changed
- `server/src/routes/agents.ts`: the test-environment route resolves the
selected environment's envVars (forbidden keys stripped,
environment-consumer secret context) and merges them under the agent
adapterConfig env, mirroring `resolveExecutionRunAdapterConfig`
precedence. Missing secret bindings are skipped, reported as an
`environment_env_binding_missing` error check, and fail the test —
matching the `ConfigurationIncompleteFailure` a real dispatch would
raise.
- `packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/test.ts`: new
`claude_oauth_token_configured` info hint between the API-key warning
and the subscription fallback; hello-probe classification gains a
`claude_hello_probe_usage_limited` warning for provider-quota results
(previously a hard `claude_hello_probe_failed`).
- `scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs`: add
`@paperclipai/adapter-claude-local` to `nonServerProjects` so CI runs
the package suites.
- `packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/execute.remote.test.ts`:
assert both runtime asset syncs (skills and mcp-config); the suite
predated the mcp-config asset.
- `packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/test.probe.test.ts`:
usage-limit fixture now expects the usage-limited warning; new fixture
covers the genuine transient path (529 overloaded); new tests cover the
token hint and API-key precedence.
- `server/src/__tests__/agent-test-environment-routes.test.ts`: new
tests for the env merge (agent wins on conflict, forbidden key
filtered), missing-binding reporting, and the no-execution-target
fallback path.
- `docs/adapters/claude-local.md`, `docs/adapters/overview.md`: state
the auth-input facts (API key or oauth token wins over stored logins;
snapshot-owns-auth applies when neither is configured) and describe the
environment-aware Test behavior.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run --project @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local` — 131
tests pass (both drifted suites repaired; they fail on master today).
- `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/agent-test-environment-routes.test.ts` — 7 tests
pass.
- `node --test ./scripts/__tests__/run-vitest-stable-shard.test.mjs` —
passes with the added project.
- `pnpm typecheck` in `server/` and `packages/adapters/claude-local/` —
clean.
## Risks
- Low risk. The run path is untouched; the probe route change is
additive and inert when the environment has no envVars.
- The probe now performs environment-consumer secret resolution at test
time; access is authorized per binding exactly as at run time, and the
audit consumer is the environment (as before for adapter-config
resolution).
- Enabling the claude-local project in CI adds about 2 seconds of vitest
wall time to the general workspaces group and could surface future
regressions in that package — which is the point.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A guarded hot restart must preserve or finalize every active agent
run.
> - The server uses embedded PostgreSQL when `DATABASE_URL` is not set.
> - The database dependency installs signal handlers before Paperclip
installs its coordinated shutdown handler.
> - Those handlers can stop PostgreSQL before Paperclip writes the
shutdown snapshot.
> - ACP runs also use server-owned stdio and cannot be adopted after
that server exits.
> - This pull request keeps PostgreSQL available through snapshot and
drain, then uses the existing ordered stop.
> - The benefit is a complete restart report with no false adoption and
no missing snapshot loss.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A guarded hot restart with a valid marker can report a live preflight
run as lost with reason `missing_shutdown_snapshot`. The
`embedded-postgres` package imports `async-exit-hook`. That package
registers `SIGINT` and `SIGTERM` listeners before Paperclip registers
its own shutdown listener. The dependency can close PostgreSQL while
Paperclip queries active heartbeat runs and writes the snapshot.
**Expected behavior**
Paperclip must keep its database available until it persists the
shutdown snapshot and completes any required run drain. A detached CLI
run must remain eligible for adoption. An ACP run must finish as
interrupted and queue a retry because its server-owned stdio cannot
survive the server.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run Paperclip from source with embedded PostgreSQL.
2. Start a local ACP-backed agent run.
3. Write a valid hot-restart marker for the current server process.
4. send `SIGTERM` through the service manager.
5. Inspect the restart report and server log.
6. Observe that PostgreSQL can close before the shutdown snapshot query
completes.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The defect reproduces on `2ab797dcbed0031c45c7335a0f497fea2a20bd9a`.
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted server built from source, with embedded PostgreSQL and a
systemd service.
Related work: #9628 introduced hot-restart continuity. #10556 explores a
broader database ownership transfer. #10775 addresses ACP continuity
after replacement startup. This pull request uses a smaller path: it
keeps the current database owner alive through snapshot and drain, then
performs the existing explicit database stop.
## What Changed
- Remove only the `SIGINT` and `SIGTERM` listeners added by the embedded
PostgreSQL import.
- Preserve Paperclip's existing ordered database stop after heartbeat
snapshot and drain.
- Detect active ACP and server-stdio local runs before shutdown.
- Persist their complete snapshot before changing the marker to an ACP
drain request.
- Drain only ACP runs to an interrupted terminal state and queue their
retry.
- Keep detached CLI runs eligible for adoption in the same mixed
restart.
- Quiesce already-running scheduler queue claims before capturing the
snapshot and selective drain set.
- Report a selected ACP run as lost if process termination succeeds but
its terminal database write does not persist.
- Add the drain reason to the restart report.
- Document the normal path and the one-time recovery path across an
older affected build.
## Verification
- `PAPERCLIP_TEST_DATABASE_MODE=native pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server
exec vitest run src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` — 100
passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/shutdown.test.ts
server/src/services/hot-restart.test.ts` — 24 passed.
- The shutdown suite imports the real `embedded-postgres` package and
verifies that its eager signal listeners are absent after the guarded
import.
- The embedded PostgreSQL recovery suite verifies snapshot, pre-snapshot
scheduler quiescence, selective ACP drain, detached CLI adoption, queued
retry, original-run finalization, `lostRunIds=[]` in a mixed restart,
and fail-closed reporting when terminal persistence fails.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
- A full workspace typecheck reached the UI and stopped because the
shared local install does not contain its declared `@base-ui/react`
dependency. All server and preceding package checks passed. CI uses a
clean install and remains the authoritative full gate.
## Risks
- Low to moderate risk. This changes shutdown signal ownership and local
run behavior during guarded restarts.
- Paperclip already stops its managed embedded database explicitly. The
change removes only the dependency listeners that race the coordinated
path.
- ACP runs now retry instead of receiving an unsafe bare-process
adoption. Detached CLI runs keep their existing adoption behavior.
- The report adds one field. There is no schema migration or breaking
API change.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents coordinate through company-visible issues, comments, child
tasks, and assignments.
> - The current authorization rules give these write channels different
and narrow ownership grants.
> - Those differences prevent standard-trust agents from coordinating on
work that they can already read.
> - A responsible human user must still bound every agent action.
> - This pull request gives the four issue-write channels one
default-open rule based on issue visibility.
> - The benefit is consistent multi-agent coordination without weakening
company, user, trust-scope, or run-lifecycle controls.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This improves authorization for comments, issue updates, child creation,
and assignment on company-visible issues.
**Subsystem affected**
`server/` REST API authorization and issue routes.
**Current behavior**
Standard-trust agents can read company-visible issues, but narrow
ownership, parent, or mention grants can still deny related writes. Each
write channel also applies a different rule.
**Proposed behavior**
Allow standard-trust agents to comment, update fields, create child
issues, and assign work when they can read the target issue and the
responsible user is also authorized. Keep company boundaries, low-trust
scopes, checkout conflicts, status rules, pause gates, budget gates, and
explicit reopen rules unchanged.
**Reason and benefit**
Agents can coordinate on visible company work without relay issues or
unnecessary manager runs. One shared rule also makes the authorization
model easier to test and maintain.
**Breaking changes**
This intentionally broadens write access for standard-trust agents on
visible issues. Existing company boundaries and governance controls
remain in force.
Related prior approaches: Refs #10233 and Refs #9768. This change
unifies the comment case with visible issue updates, child creation, and
assignment while preserving the responsible-user ceiling and excluded
trust scopes.
## What Changed
- Added a shared default-open authorization decision for visible issue
writes.
- Applied the shared rule to comments, issue updates, child creation,
and assignment.
- Preserved low-trust, `skill_test`, `task_bridge`, responsible-user,
checkout, lifecycle, pause, and budget controls.
- Preserved explicit resume/restore authority for direct peer lifecycle
transitions on blocked, completed, and cancelled issues.
- Added regression coverage for cross-company denial, user intersection,
excluded scopes, comment-read structure, closed issues, child creation,
assignment, and peer updates.
- Updated the V1 implementation contract for the shared rule.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/authorization-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-comment-reopen-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/low-trust-red-team-routes.test.ts --reporter=dot` —
217 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `git diff --check public-gh/master...HEAD` — passed.
- Independent security review covered broken access control,
object-level authorization, excessive agency, cross-company access,
responsible-user intersection, excluded scopes, and lifecycle controls;
its peer lifecycle-transition finding is fixed with regression coverage.
## Risks
- Standard-trust agents gain broader write influence on issues that they
can already read.
- Future issue-visibility controls must keep `issue:read` as the
canonical authorization hook.
- Regression tests cover company boundaries, responsible-user
intersection, excluded scopes, active checkout conflicts, closed-issue
behavior, and non-transitive mention authority.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server stores all state in PostgreSQL through Drizzle and the
postgres.js driver
> - Self-hosted installs run Postgres on localhost, so per-query latency
is near zero; hosted installs often attach Postgres over a network,
sometimes through a transaction-mode pooler
> - The DB client passes no options to the driver, so operators cannot
disable prepared statements or tune the pool without a source edit, and
the deploy docs told them to edit `client.ts`
> - The attention feed also runs its related-data lookups one after
another, so its latency grows as queries × network round trip
> - This pull request adds optional environment configuration for the DB
client and batches the independent attention-feed lookups with
`Promise.all`
> - The benefit is that network-attached deployments get correct pooler
support and a much faster attention feed, while self-hosted behavior
does not change
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists for this; description follows the bug report
template:
**What happened?**
On deployments where PostgreSQL is network-attached (managed providers,
pooled endpoints), the attention feed endpoint is slow:
`attentionService.list()` awaits ~15–20 queries strictly in sequence, so
a 70ms round trip turns into more than one second of pure network wait
per call. Separately, connecting through a transaction-mode pooler
(pgbouncer, Supavisor port 6543, Neon `-pooler` hosts) requires
disabling prepared statements, and the only documented way was to
hand-edit `packages/db/src/client.ts` — which `doc/DATABASE.md` itself
tells operators not to do.
**Expected behavior**
The DB client is configurable from the environment (prepared statements,
pool size, timeouts) with driver defaults when unset, and hot read paths
do not multiply network latency by issuing independent queries
sequentially.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the server with `DATABASE_URL` pointing at a Postgres instance
with ~70ms round-trip latency.
2. Open the attention feed (`GET /companies/:companyId/attention`) and
measure response time — it exceeds one second even with little data.
3. Try to connect through a transaction-mode pooler: there is no
supported configuration to disable prepared statements.
## What Changed
- `packages/db/src/client.ts`: `createDb` accepts a
`DatabaseClientOptions` argument and reads optional env config —
`DATABASE_PREPARED_STATEMENTS`, `DATABASE_POOL_MAX`,
`DATABASE_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`, `DATABASE_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`.
When nothing is set, no option is passed to the driver and behavior is
identical to the previous bare `postgres(url)`.
- `packages/db/src/client-options.test.ts` (new): env parsing and
driver-option mapping tests, including malformed-value rejection.
- `server/src/services/attention.ts`: the independent related-data
lookups in each feed section now run under `Promise.all` (issue
summary/image/plan-document maps, decision bundle titles, blocked-issue
maps, the newer-runs scan). Section order, item assembly, and query
shapes are unchanged.
- `doc/DATABASE.md` and `docs/deploy/database.md`: the edit-source
pooling instruction is replaced with the env toggle, plus a short
client-tuning reference.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db exec vitest run
src/client-options.test.ts` — 6 tests pass.
- `pnpm --filter server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/attention-service.test.ts` — 22 tests pass.
- `pnpm --filter server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/decisions-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/decision-training.test.ts` — 45 tests pass; this covers
the call path that runs `attentionService.list()` inside
`db.transaction`, where postgres.js serializes queries on the reserved
connection.
- `tsc` reports no errors in the changed files.
## Risks
- Low risk for self-hosted installs: with no env vars set,
`postgres(url, {})` receives an empty options object, which postgres.js
treats the same as no options — driver defaults throughout.
- The `Promise.all` batches only group queries that had no data
dependency on each other; on the transaction call path the driver still
executes them one at a time on the reserved connection, so transactional
semantics are unchanged.
- Malformed env values now fail fast at startup with a clear message
instead of being silently ignored; this is intentional and only affects
operators who set the new variables.
## Model Used
Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`), Anthropic — via Claude Code CLI,
extended thinking enabled, tool use (test execution, live latency
measurement against a network-attached Postgres to size the problem).

work
> - The callback bridge must keep queue-directory setup inside the

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Bug**
**What happened?**
Long-lived bridge continuations kept a stale startup step store during
the queue-directory setup path.
**Expected behavior**
Runtime exec spans should start with no active startup step.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a bridge lane.
2. Let the startup step end.
3. Run later runtime exec work on the same lane.
**Paperclip version or commit**
223068e2ff
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted server
## What Changed
- Added `runWithoutActiveStep` in
`packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/startup-timing.ts`.
- Wrapped the long-lived poll timer, socket handlers, and
callback-bridge worker loop in both bridge lanes.
- Added unit tests for store leak and reset behavior.
- Added continuation tests for both bridge lanes and the `criticalPath`
flag.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec tsc --noEmit`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/startup-timing.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target.test.ts`
## Risks
- Low risk.
- The change alters async context handling in bridge continuations.
- If a caller depends on inherited step state, this change removes it.
- The tests cover the intended bridge lanes.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use enabled.

work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related PR: #10774
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The decisions desk and queue currently use different triage rules. They
can show stale repeated confirmations and can rank blocked work by an
intermediate issue.
**Subsystem affected**
This change affects attention aggregation, issue thread interactions,
shared attention contracts, and the decisions user interface.
**Current behavior**
The desk uses a can-wait group that has no clear arrival meaning. The
queue has fewer controls than the desk. Repeated pending confirmations
remain actionable. Blocked-work rows do not always identify the terminal
actionable blocker.
**Proposed behavior**
Group desk items by arrival date, and reserve Decide now for explicit
due dates. Use one toolbar and shelf model on both pages. Supersede
older repeated pending confirmations. Aggregate blocked work under the
terminal actionable blocker and rank it by impact.
**Reason and benefit**
Operators get one consistent triage model. The badge reflects new and
overdue work. High-impact blockers move to the top. Duplicate
confirmation work no longer consumes attention.
**Breaking changes**
The attention summary field `decideNowCount` changes to
`deskBadgeCount`. Consumers must use the new field. Older repeated
confirmation interactions can now finish with the
`superseded_by_newer_request` outcome.
## What Changed
- Supersede older pending confirmation requests for the same issue and
record the mutation in activity history.
- Resolve blocked-work attention to actionable terminal blockers,
suppress live blocker trees, and rank rows by blocked-work impact.
- Group the decisions desk into New today and Earlier, and count new
plus overdue work in the desk badge.
- Share the decision toolbar and shelf components across the desk and
queue.
- Add queue grouping, sorting, filtering, aging, visible training
controls, and clearer recommendation copy.
- Add server, shared-contract, and user-interface tests for the new
behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `env -u AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -u AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY pnpm test:run` (all
server, UI, CLI, shared, and catalog tests passed; one fixed five-second
DB timeout flaked under full-suite load)
- `NODE_ENV=test pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db exec vitest run
src/status-card-migrations.test.ts` (passed in isolation)
- `pnpm build`
## Risks
- The attention summary field rename requires synchronized consumers.
- Terminal-blocker traversal uses cycle and depth guards. A malformed
dependency graph can stop at the last safe node.
- The new arrival grouping changes which items contribute to the
decisions badge.
- Superseding repeated confirmations changes the terminal state of older
pending interactions.

## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5. The runtime did not expose a dated model
snapshot or context-window size. The model used reasoning, repository
tools, code execution, and test execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip tracks agent work for the team.
> - The startup timing path already emits detailed spans.
> - The run log repeats the same detailed timing.
> - That makes the event larger than it needs to be.
> - This pull request removes the redundant per-step timing fields from
the run-log payload.
> - The benefit is a smaller log with the same detail still available in
traces.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue or open pull request matches this change. I
described the enhancement below.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
`run.startup.step` event output.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (multiple of the above)
**Current behavior**
`run.startup.step` writes `roundTrips`, `providerExecMs`,
`providerGetMs`, `createRuntimeMs`, and `ensureSessionMs`. The same
detail already exists in the spans.
**Proposed behavior**
`run.startup.step` keeps only `step`, `durationMs`, and `outcome`. The
heartbeat lifecycle timestamps stay unchanged.
**Reason and benefit**
This change removes redundant data from the run log. It keeps the useful
detail in trace spans. It also makes the payload smaller and easier to
read. The revert path stays clear because the removed data has one
producer chain.
**Breaking changes**
Yes. Consumers that read the removed fields must switch to span data or
the remaining event fields. The heartbeat lifecycle timestamps do not
change.
**Additional context**
I searched GitHub for related open PRs and issues. I found no match.
## What Changed
- Removed the redundant per-step timing fields from the run-log payload.
- Removed the now-dead producer chain that fed those fields.
- Kept the span-level timing data and the heartbeat lifecycle
timestamps.
## Verification
- `adapter-utils` typecheck clean
- `server` typecheck clean
- `startup-timing` suite: 30 passed
- `adapter-utils` `execute` suite: 99 passed
- `server` `environment-execution-target` suite: 21 passed
## Risks
- Consumers that still read the removed fields will need a code change.
- This is a one-way-door data removal for the run log.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use enabled.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip uses pull requests to ship control-plane changes with
review and audit.
> - This change extends sandbox provider telemetry.
> - The first PR added startup and exec spans.
> - This PR adds provider spans for cache hits, plugin tracer flow, and
Daytona file sync steps.
> - The host must keep the trust boundary and reject unsafe span data.
> - The result is fuller OTel coverage with bounded labels and safe
parentage.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Problem or motivation**
Sandbox provider telemetry lacks an explicit cache-hit signal, plugin
span context, and file-sync pack and transfer spans.
The current proxy for a cache hit is fragile.
The plugin SDK also needs a safe tracer surface and a per-call parent
context.
**Proposed solution**
Add an explicit `cacheHit` flag from the Daytona sandbox handle lookup.
Expose `ctx.tracer` on the plugin context and pass a `traceparent`
string with each call.
Record provider spans on the host with allowlist clamping and capability
checks.
Wrap Daytona file sync pack and transfer steps in spans.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep the old `providerGetMs == 0` proxy.
Reject that path because the cache-hit decision belongs at the handle
lookup, not in a timing proxy.
The host stays the trust boundary for worker span data.
It clamps labels, rejects bad parent data, and gates the worker-to-host
span RPC by capability.
A security review completed before this PR opened.
## What Changed
- Added an explicit `cacheHit` flag from the Daytona sandbox handle
lookup.
- Added `ctx.tracer` on the plugin context and a `traceparent` field in
the per-call context.
- Added host-side span recording with attribute clamping and capability
checks.
- Wrapped Daytona file sync pack and transfer steps in spans.
- Added tests for the host trust boundary, the plugin tracer no-op path,
and the Daytona span paths.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-daytona exec vitest run`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk exec vitest run`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
plugin-host-services environment-execution-target instrumentation
plugin-worker-manager`
- `tsc --noEmit` for server, plugin-sdk, and adapter-utils
## Risks
- Span data now crosses the worker boundary, so the host allowlist and
capability gate must stay strict.
- The `traceparent` path must stay valid and host-owned.
- Daytona file sync spans must not add new round trips.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The heartbeat service starts agent runs in local, SSH, sandbox,
plugin, or Kubernetes environments.
> - Runs can share one project working tree.
> - PR #10699 made every shared working tree single-file, including
trusted local and SSH hosts that support coordinated concurrent work.
> - Operators need a policy that keeps remote environments safe and
restores local multi-agent work.
> - This pull request adds an `auto`, `serialize`, or `allow`
concurrency policy and applies it to the final execution environment.
> - The benefit is safe serialization by default for sandboxed targets
and useful concurrency by default for persistent local targets.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related work: #10699 introduced the busy gate that this change makes
configurable. #7852 covers a separate environment-lease race and does
not provide this dispatch policy.
**Subsystem affected**
`server/` heartbeat orchestration and `packages/shared/` workspace
policy contracts.
**Problem or motivation**
The shared-workspace busy gate always defers a second run. This behavior
prevents local multi-agent projects from running concurrently even when
operators expect agents to coordinate through commits.
**Proposed solution**
Add `sharedWorkspaceConcurrency` with `auto`, `serialize`, and `allow`
values. Default `auto` permits local and SSH concurrency. It serializes
sandbox, plugin, and forced Kubernetes execution.
**Alternatives considered**
Keeping unconditional serialization is too restrictive for persistent
host working trees. Always allowing overlap removes the protection that
sandboxed and remote targets need.
**Roadmap alignment**
This is a focused correction to the shipped cloud and sandbox execution
milestone. It does not add a new roadmap feature.
## What Changed
- Added the optional tri-state field to project policy and issue
override contracts and validators.
- Added a pure resolver with issue override, project policy, and `auto`
default precedence.
- Moved final environment and Kubernetes resolution before the
shared-workspace busy gate.
- Kept the existing deferral and retry behavior for every path that
resolves to serialization.
- Added a task-context warning and a structured log when a run
dispatches beside a live holder.
- Added policy and heartbeat coverage for all requested policy and
environment combinations.
- Documented the new policy and its default behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/execution-workspace-policy.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-busy.test.ts` — 32 tests passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `PAPERCLIP_IN_WORKTREE=false
PAPERCLIP_DATABASE_RESTORE_IN_PROGRESS=false
PAPERCLIP_RESTORE_IN_PROGRESS=false pnpm test:run` — all 3,528 server
tests passed. The later UI/workspace phase passed 3,384 tests and hit
one unrelated `CompanyEnvironments` navigation timing failure.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/pages/CompanyEnvironments.test.tsx -t "opens the edit form on a
standalone page with existing values and closes after save"` — the
unrelated UI test passed in isolation.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
Policy matrix:
| Policy | Final target | Expected result | Result |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `auto` | local | Dispatch with holder note | Passed |
| `auto` | sandbox | Defer with `workspace_busy` | Passed |
| `auto` | instance-forced Kubernetes | Defer with `workspace_busy` |
Passed |
| `serialize` | local | Defer with `workspace_busy` | Passed |
| `allow` | sandbox | Dispatch with holder note | Passed |
Existing serialization, retry, and stale-holder tests also pass.
## Risks
- `auto` changes the post-#10699 local and SSH behavior back to
concurrent dispatch. Concurrent agents can mutate the same working tree,
so each dispatched run receives an explicit coordination warning.
- `allow` is an operator override and can permit overlap in sandbox or
plugin environments.
- Unknown environment drivers serialize in `auto` mode. This keeps the
fallback conservative.
- There is no database migration. An absent field resolves to `auto`.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip coordinates AI agent work and records execution data.
> - The sandbox startup path and the host-to-sandbox execution path need
clearer OpenTelemetry spans.
> - The trace data now shows wait time, critical path data, and bounded
labels.
> - This pull request adds bounded spans and closed attribute helpers
for sandbox startup and execution.
> - The result is better trace data with low cardinality and no secret
leakage.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- No public GitHub issue exists for this branch.
- Related PR: #10536
- This PR extends the sandbox OpenTelemetry work with exec spans, root
timing, and bounded labels.
## What Changed
- Added a closed span-attribute contract for sandbox startup data.
- Added a bounded label helper for command and region values.
- Threaded the active step context into the execution path.
- Added a `sandbox.exec` span with true timestamps and bounded
attributes.
- Added skipped-step and root-span timing data with low-cardinality
context.
- Moved handshake sub-times and bridge batch data onto spans.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils run typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server run typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec vitest run`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
environment-execution-target`
- `git log --oneline
origin/master..origin/feat/sandbox-startup-otel-spans`
- `git diff origin/master...origin/feat/sandbox-startup-otel-spans
--stat`
## Risks
- Span attribute rules could still miss a future field if new code skips
the shared helper.
- Low-cardinality labels may hide some detail, but that is the intended
tradeoff.
- Tracing stays fail-open, so a missing tracer still hides data rather
than stopping work.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use enabled. The runtime did not expose the
context window size.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip coordinates agent runs and checks required runtime
credentials before dispatch.
> - The push-capability preflight protects runs that use the GitHub PR
workflow skill.
> - PR #10659 also made issue title and description text trigger this
preflight.
> - That text heuristic blocks tasks that mention a pull request but do
not need a bound GitHub token at dispatch time.
> - This pull request removes the text heuristic and keeps the explicit
skill trigger.
> - The benefit is that ordinary task wording no longer causes a false
configuration failure.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs: #10659
**What happened?**
An issue title or description that said to open a pull request or push a
branch could trigger the push-capability credential preflight. The run
then failed before dispatch when no project-level or agent-level GitHub
token was bound, even when the task could proceed without that
preflight.
**Expected behavior**
The preflight must run only when the issue explicitly selects the GitHub
PR workflow skill. Issue prose alone must not enable the guard.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Assign a local Codex or Claude agent an issue that says to open a
pull request.
2. Do not attach the GitHub PR workflow skill to the issue.
3. Start the run without a project-level or agent-level GitHub token
binding.
4. Observe the false `push_write_credential_missing` failure before this
fix.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` after PR #10659.
**Deployment mode**
Local dev with a git-sensitive local adapter.
## What Changed
- Removed `issueTextImpliesPrDeliverable` and its text-pattern matcher.
- Restored `requiresPushCapabilityPreflight` to use only explicit GitHub
PR workflow skill keys.
- Removed the obsolete issue-text tests while keeping coverage for the
explicit skill, adapter, and issue gates.
## Verification
- `PAPERCLIP_LOG_DIR=<run-owned-dir> pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts` — 134 tests
passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed.
## Risks
- Low risk. A task that states a PR deliverable but does not select the
GitHub PR workflow skill will no longer receive the early credential
preflight. This is the intended temporary behavior.
- Tasks that explicitly select the skill still receive the existing
credential and checkout checks.
> This change does not add a core feature and does not overlap with
ROADMAP.md work.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with model ID `gpt-5`. The runtime did not expose the
context-window size. The model used agentic reasoning, tool use, and
code execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Repo-only project workspaces are materialized by a server-side
managed `git clone` into a per-project directory (#10720 added
credentials for private repos)
> - Two issues on the same project routinely wake seconds apart, and
both runs race the same clone target
> - The loser fails with "destination path already exists", and its
failure cleanup removes the directory out from under the winner's
in-progress clone — both runs then fail every round
> - This pull request serializes materialization per target directory
and makes the clone land atomically via a temp sibling + rename, so the
shared target is never partial and never removed
> - The benefit is that concurrent runs on the same project converge:
one clone happens, everyone adopts it, and unrelated failures no longer
blame the GitHub credential
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
With isolated workspaces enabled on a project whose only workspace is
repo-only, unblocking two issues at once produced lockstep mutual
destruction (observed live, two consecutive rounds): both runs called
the managed-checkout materialization concurrently; one clone created the
target directory, the other's `git clone` failed with `fatal:
destination path '…' already exists and is not an empty directory`, and
that run's failure cleanup deleted the directory while the first clone
was still writing into it (`fatal: could not set 'core…'`). Both runs
failed `workspace_validation_failed`; their staggered retries could race
again. The failure message also wrongly claimed the GitHub credential
"was rejected or lacks access" — the collision had nothing to do with
auth.
**Expected behavior**
Concurrent materializations of the same project checkout share one
clone; a completed checkout is never removed by a failing sibling; the
credential is only blamed for auth-shaped failures.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Project with a repo-only workspace (private repo, isolated workspaces
on).
2. Move two issues on that project to `todo` at the same time so both
runs start within seconds.
3. Both runs fail workspace validation with "destination path already
exists" / "could not set 'core…'" instead of one clone succeeding.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` (75f6256b76).
## What Changed
- `ensureManagedProjectWorkspace` serializes in-flight materializations
per target cwd (a module-level promise map): concurrent callers share
one attempt.
- The clone lands in a `<target>.clone-XXXXXX` temp sibling created with
`mkdtemp`, then moves into place with an atomic `rename`. Clone failure
removes only the temp directory; the shared target is never created
partially and never deleted. If the target appears between the emptiness
check and the rename (another process won), the completed checkout is
adopted instead of failing the run.
- `describeGitAuthFailure` attributes the GitHub credential only when
the error matches the auth-failure pattern; unrelated failures (path
collisions, network errors) no longer claim the token was rejected.
## Verification
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-managed-clone-credentials.test.ts
src/__tests__/git-credentials.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts` — 169 tests pass,
including new cases: concurrent materializations of the same checkout
succeed with one shared result and no temp litter; failed clones leave
neither target nor temp directories; an authenticated clone failing for
non-auth reasons does not blame the credential.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — clean.
## Risks
- Low risk. The serialization is in-process and keyed by exact target
path; the temp+rename pattern stays on the same filesystem (sibling
path) so the rename is atomic. Single-run behavior is byte-identical
apart from the temp-dir intermediate.
- The rename-conflict adoption path accepts a checkout another
materialization completed; the pre-existing `gitDirExists` adoption
semantics are unchanged.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - #10719 and #10720 both hardened credential scrubbing for server-side
git operations
> - #10719 defined `scrubGitCredentialText` locally in `heartbeat.ts`;
#10720 imported the identical function from the new `git-credentials.ts`
> - The two merged cleanly textually, but together they leave
`heartbeat.ts` with an import that conflicts with a local declaration
(TS2440)
> - This pull request keeps the `git-credentials.ts` copy as canonical,
drops the heartbeat-local duplicate, and re-exports the import so
existing importers are unchanged
> - The benefit is that master typechecks, builds, and produces Docker
images again
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
After #10719 and #10720 merged, master fails typecheck, the server
build, and both Docker image builds with
`src/services/heartbeat.ts(76,3): error TS2440: Import declaration
conflicts with local declaration of 'scrubGitCredentialText'`. The
canary release run for e0c2448267 failed for the same reason, so no
`@paperclipai/db` canary carrying migrations 0201/0202 can publish.
**Expected behavior**
Master typechecks and builds; one canonical `scrubGitCredentialText`
lives in `git-credentials.ts`.
**Steps to reproduce**
`pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` on e0c2448267.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` (e0c2448267).
## What Changed
- Removed the heartbeat-local `scrubGitCredentialText` definition
(byte-identical to the `git-credentials.ts` copy).
- Re-exported the imported function from `heartbeat.ts` so existing
importers, including `heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts`, keep
working.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — clean.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts
src/__tests__/git-credentials.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-managed-clone-credentials.test.ts` — 167 tests
pass.
## Risks
Low risk — deletes one of two identical implementations and preserves
the public import surface via a re-export.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Repo-only project workspaces are materialized by a server-side `git
clone`, and isolated `git_worktree` runs refresh their base ref with
server-side `git fetch`
> - Both operations run outside the agent process with no credentials,
so private GitHub repositories can never be cloned or refreshed —
agent-scoped credential env bindings do not reach them
> - The company secret store already has a well-known GitHub token
convention (`GITHUB_TOKEN` / `GH_TOKEN` / `PAPERCLIP_GITHUB_TOKEN`,
consumed by the external-object provider for API reads), but nothing
server-side consults it for git
> - This pull request resolves that token per run and authenticates the
managed clone and every base-ref refresh with it through an ephemeral
credential helper
> - The benefit is that isolated workspaces work on private repositories
with one company secret, while public repositories and self-hosted
ambient git configuration keep working unchanged
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Server workspace materialization (`server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`)
and execution-workspace realization
(`server/src/services/workspace-runtime.ts`).
**Problem or motivation**
A project workspace configured with only a private GitHub `repoUrl`
cannot be used for isolated `git_worktree` runs: the managed `git clone`
runs with a sanitized, credential-less environment, and plain git cannot
consume a bare token env variable without a credential helper. There is
no way to give the server a git credential — storing a `GH_TOKEN`
company secret has no effect on server-side git, and a credential-less
private clone hangs on a terminal prompt until the ten-minute clone
timeout. Base-ref refreshes (`git fetch`) during worktree realization
have the same gap.
**Proposed solution**
A `git-credentials` module resolves a token per run — company secret by
well-known name (`GITHUB_TOKEN`, `GH_TOKEN`, `PAPERCLIP_GITHUB_TOKEN`),
then `GITHUB_TOKEN`/`GH_TOKEN` in the server process environment for
self-hosted deployments, then none — and builds a git invocation that
authenticates via an inline credential helper. The token travels in an
env variable; it never appears in argv, URLs, or on disk. Only
`https://github.com` remotes are authenticated; everything else keeps
ambient behavior. The provider is a single factory seam so a future
brokered credential source can replace it without touching call sites.
**Alternatives considered**
- A GitHub OAuth "connect your account" flow: heavier product surface,
needs app registration and callback custody; out of scope for a server
credential and better served by a dedicated connector later. The
provider seam keeps that path open.
- `gh auth setup-git`: writes helper configuration to disk and requires
a global token env; rejected in favor of per-invocation config with no
persistent state.
- Embedding the token in the clone URL: leaks into argv, error messages,
and `.git/config`; rejected.
## What Changed
- New `server/src/services/git-credentials.ts`:
`createGitRemoteAuthProvider` (memoized per run, one secret resolution
and one audit event), `buildGitAuthInvocation` (helper-reset + inline
helper, `x-access-token` username, `GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0`),
`isGitHubHttpsRemoteUrl` host gating (rejects ssh/GHES/http/other
hosts/userinfo URLs), `describeGitAuthFailure`, and the canonical
`scrubGitCredentialText`. Secret resolutions pass a `system` consumer
access context so they are recorded as secret access events.
- `ensureManagedProjectWorkspace` (now exported) accepts an optional
auth provider; the clone env spreads the token after
`sanitizeRuntimeServiceBaseEnv` (which strips `PAPERCLIP_*`), always
sets `GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0`, distinguishes "credential rejected" from
"no credential configured — add a GITHUB_TOKEN or GH_TOKEN company
secret" in the error, and removes the partially created directory on
clone failure so a timeout-killed clone cannot be adopted as a broken
checkout by the next run.
- `refreshRemoteTrackingBaseRef` (now exported) captures the remote URL
it already looked up, asks the provider for an invocation, and
attributes failed authenticated fetches to the credential in a scrubbed
warning. The optional provider threads through `detectDefaultBranch`,
`resolveAuthoritativeBaseRef`, `inspectExecutionWorkspaceBaseDrift`,
`realizeExecutionWorkspace`, and
`ensurePersistedExecutionWorkspaceAvailable`; heartbeat builds one
provider per run for both the anchor-resolution clone path and workspace
realization/restore.
- `github-external-object-provider.ts` imports the shared secret-name
list; `isGitHubDotCom` is exported from `github-fetch.ts`.
- Docs: "Private repositories and repo-only project workspaces" section
in the execution-workspaces guide, cross-linked from the secrets deploy
doc.
## Verification
- `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/git-credentials.test.ts` —
resolution chain order and precedence, env fallback, memoization,
audited access context, host-gating matrix, invocation shape (token
absent from argv), scrubber, failure descriptions, and a real-git `git
credential fill` round trip that proves the helper executes and answers
with the env-carried token (no network).
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-managed-clone-credentials.test.ts` — clones
behave byte-identically with no provider or a null-returning provider
(local repos, no network), authenticated-failure errors name the
credential, non-auth failures do not mention credentials, partial clone
directories are removed, pre-existing non-git directories keep the
"Using it as-is" path, and the sanitizer spread order keeps the token
env alive.
- `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts`
— new `refreshRemoteTrackingBaseRef` cases: provider offered the remote
URL and null keeps behavior identical; failed authenticated fetch
warning names the credential; unauthenticated failure warning stays
credential-free.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` is clean.
- Manual (optional, networked): store a `GH_TOKEN` company secret,
configure a repo-only project workspace pointing at a private GitHub
repository, run an isolated-workspace issue — the managed clone succeeds
and the worktree run proceeds.
## Risks
- Every new parameter is optional; with no provider the git invocations
are byte-identical to before. Public repos and ambient credential
helpers keep working whenever no token resolves.
- Precedence change when a token exists: a stored company secret now
wins over ambient helpers for `https://github.com` remotes (the helper
list is reset for that invocation). The rejected-credential error names
the secret so an operator can fix or remove it.
- `GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0` on the managed clone is the one always-on
change: a credential-less private clone now fails fast with a clear
message instead of hanging until the ten-minute timeout (it could only
ever "succeed" interactively on a TTY dev server).
- The token is scoped to the git process env for one invocation; it is
never written to agent env, run context, disk, or logs, and error text
is scrubbed of URL userinfo.
- No migrations, no image changes (git ships in the image).

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this bug. I searched for related
public issues and pull requests using the terms `Not yet refreshed`,
`external objects refresh`, and `external PR status`, and did not find a
duplicate implementation.
**What happened?**
The issue properties panel could show a GitHub pull request as `Not yet
resolved` even when the referenced pull request was valid. The object
stayed stale unless a manual refresh path ran.
**Expected behavior**
A known external object should show pending-refresh copy while it waits
for provider data. When the scheduler refreshes it, the properties panel
should show the provider status such as open, merged, or closed.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create or view an issue that references a GitHub pull request.
2. Open the issue properties panel.
3. Observe the external object row before a manual refresh has run.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Current `master` before this pull request.
**Deployment mode**
Local dev and self-hosted server.
**Installation method**
Built from source.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Access context**
Board view.
**Privacy checklist**
I reviewed this description and did not include logs, credentials,
private URLs, internal issue IDs, or PII.
## What Changed
- Added a heartbeat scheduler tick that refreshes due external objects
for active companies.
- Kept manual external-object refresh behavior on the same service path.
- Changed display copy so known provider objects use liveness labels
such as `Not yet refreshed`, while fresh unknown provider statuses show
`Status unavailable`.
- Added server and UI tests for scheduled refresh and label behavior.
## Verification
- `corepack pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/external-objects-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts
ui/src/components/ExternalObjectPill.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssueProperties.test.tsx
ui/src/lib/external-objects.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server build`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build`
- `pnpm run typecheck:build-gaps`
- GitHub PR checks passed on head `0e7fcd30`
- Greptile reported 5/5 on head `0e7fcd30` with no unresolved review
threads
Notes:
- I ran recursive typecheck and build first. Both hit container resource
limits with exit 137 during concurrent package work, so I reran the
affected server and UI targets separately.
- An unrelated workspace-runtime auto-port test fails in this container
with a PID ownership mismatch. It is outside the files changed here.
## Risks
Low to medium risk.
The scheduler does more periodic external-object work, so the main risk
is extra provider refresh load. The implementation bounds the work to
active companies, due non-terminal objects, and 50 objects per company
per tick. The path also stays behind the external-objects experimental
setting.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 Codex in the Codex execution environment, with shell and
GitHub CLI tool use. The runtime did not expose a more specific internal
model ID or context window.

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

isolated workspaces (or low-trust runs), the `git_worktree` strategy
needs a real git checkout as its base

checkout with a managed `git clone`; when that clone fails, the resolver
drops the error and silently falls back to the agent home directory with
`source: "project_primary"`
> - The pre-dispatch guard then reports
`git_worktree_base_not_git_checkout`, which hides the real cause; if the
fallback directory happens to be a git checkout, the run silently builds
worktrees off the wrong repository
> - This pull request records materialization failures on the resolved
workspace, marks the fallback explicitly, and fails the guard with a
truthful `git_worktree_base_materialization_failed` reason that carries
the clone error
> - The benefit is that operators see the real cause (a failed clone) in
the run error, the blocked-issue comment, and the recovery next action,
instead of a misleading symptom
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
An issue configured for isolated `git_worktree` execution on a project
whose only workspace is repo-only (a `repoUrl` with no local path) fails
every run with `workspace_validation_failed` and reason
`git_worktree_base_not_git_checkout`, pointing at the agent home
directory. The message does not mention that the managed `git clone` of
the project repository failed (for a private repository the clone can
never succeed without credentials). The recovery flow then blocks the
issue with the same misleading explanation. Run warnings claim "Project
workspace has no local cwd configured" even though the workspace is
configured and the clone failed.
**Expected behavior**
The run failure, the blocked-issue comment, and the recovery next action
should state the real cause: the project workspace checkout could not be
prepared, including the clone error, so the operator can repair the
repository URL, clone access, or configured local cwd. A fallback
directory that happens to be a git checkout must not let the run proceed
against the wrong repository.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a project whose primary workspace has a `repoUrl` pointing at
a private GitHub repository and no local path.
2. Enable the Isolated Workspaces experimental setting (or use a
low-trust run, which forces isolation).
3. Run any issue in that project.
4. The run fails with `git_worktree_base_not_git_checkout` on the agent
home directory; the clone failure appears nowhere.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` (bd86dbe41b).
## What Changed
- `resolveAnchorWorkspaceForRun` collects every failed project-workspace
materialization attempt (previously the error was dropped unless the row
was the preferred workspace) and returns two new fields on
`ResolvedWorkspaceForRun`: `baseCwdFallback` and
`materializationFailures`. The `source` label is unchanged because
session migration keys off `source === "project_primary"`.
- `assertGitWorktreeBaseWorkspaceReady` accepts the anchor facts and
fails with the new reason `git_worktree_base_materialization_failed` —
checked before the git-checkout probe, so a fallback directory that
happens to be a git repo can no longer host worktrees for the wrong
repository. The message carries the first scrubbed clone error and
remediation, and lands in `run.error`, the persisted
`workspaceValidation` payload, and the blocked-issue comment.
- New `scrubGitCredentialText` masks URL userinfo (a `repoUrl` can
legitimately embed credentials today) before errors reach warnings or
persisted payloads.
- Fallback warning assembly moved into the pure helper
`buildAnchorFallbackWorkspaceNotes`; a clone failure now produces
"Failed to prepare the project workspace checkout: …" instead of the
false "no local cwd configured", with the existing warning texts
preserved byte-for-byte when nothing failed to materialize.
- The workspace-validation recovery comment and the recovery service's
next action explain the new reason specifically.
## Verification
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts` — new cases: the new
reason takes precedence over the git-checkout probe (fallback cwd is a
real git repo), payload carries the scrubbed failures, anchor-absent
legacy behavior unchanged, scrubber unit tests, and warning-assembly
unit tests that pin the existing texts.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-recovery-actions.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts` — recovery surfaces
still pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` is clean.
## Risks
- Additive persisted-payload fields and a new reason string; recovery
reason handling falls through to generic text for unknown reasons, and
no UI consumes the `git_worktree_base_*` strings.
- Intentional behavior change: a repo-only project whose clone fails and
whose agent-home fallback happened to be a git checkout previously ran
in that unrelated repository; it now fails with the truthful reason. A
test locks this.
- Runs without isolated workspaces (the default) never reach the guard;
their fallback behavior is unchanged.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The heartbeat service dispatches agent runs, and issues in a project
can share one project workspace (one working tree on disk).
> - Two runs can execute in the same shared workspace at the same time.
Each run mutates the same uncommitted files and branches, and the runs
corrupt each other's state.
> - Multi-agent projects hit this as soon as two issues in one project
become active together, so the platform needs to serialize
shared-workspace execution instead of relying on luck.
> - This pull request adds a pre-dispatch gate: a run whose issue
targets a busy shared workspace is deferred with a bounded scheduled
retry instead of dispatched.
> - The benefit is that concurrent issue runs in one project take turns
in the shared working tree, while isolated-workspace runs and unrelated
workspaces stay fully parallel.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#10645
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`:
- New pre-dispatch gate in the run executor. Before adapter dispatch,
when the run's issue has a `projectWorkspaceId` and the effective
execution workspace mode is `shared_workspace`, the executor looks for a
holder: another `running` run whose context issue shares the same
project workspace. The gate covers every run shape that reaches adapter
dispatch with issue context — assignee execution runs, comment/mention
interaction wakes, and review-participant runs.
- When a holder exists, the run throws `WorkspaceBusyDeferral` instead
of dispatching. The outer catch recognizes the deferral: it cancels the
run with `errorCode: "workspace_busy"` (contention is not a failure),
cancels its wakeup, schedules a retry through the existing
`scheduleBoundedRetryForRun` primitive (`workspace_busy` reason, 60–120
s jittered delay), and returns the agent to idle. The issue execution
lock transfers to the scheduled retry run, so the issue keeps an active
execution path and stranded-issue recovery does not fire.
- An adapter never dispatches alongside a live holder: deferral has no
attempt ceiling, so a deferred run keeps rescheduling until the
workspace frees. Deadlock safety comes from holder liveness, not a
counter — a holder silent past
`ACTIVE_RUN_OUTPUT_SUSPICION_THRESHOLD_MS` (recovery's own "suspicious
silence" bar, 1 h) stops counting as a holder, so a zombie run can only
delay work, never park it forever, and recovery's silent-run escalation
is already reaping it in parallel. If no retry can be scheduled (agent
paused, issue reassigned), the deferral releases the issue execution
lock so the issue does not strand.
- Holder detection honors isolation: when the isolated-workspaces
experiment is enabled, holders whose issue settings select
`isolated_workspace` / `operator_branch` (or the legacy `isolated`
alias) are not counted, because they never touch the shared tree. A NULL
or `agent_default` mode counts as a holder — over-serializing is the
safe direction.
- Non-assignee deferrals survive replay: the deferral stamps
`workspaceBusyDeferredWhileAssignee` into the run context (inherited by
the scheduled retry), and both the retry promotion gate and the
claim-time staleness check exempt a non-assignee `workspace_busy` retry
from the reassignment cancellation — for such a retry an assignee
mismatch is the expected state, not a reassignment race. An assignee
run's retry keeps the full protection: if the issue is reassigned while
the retry pends, it still cancels with `issue_reassigned`.
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-busy.test.ts` (new):
embedded-Postgres coverage of the full lifecycle plus unit coverage of
the delay window.
## Verification
- `cd server && pnpm vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-busy.test.ts` — 10 tests:
- a run whose issue targets a busy shared workspace is cancelled with
`workspace_busy`, its adapter never executes, a `scheduled_retry` run
exists with the 60–120 s window, the issue execution lock points at the
retry run, the holder run is untouched, and the agent returns to idle;
- after the holder finishes, `promoteDueScheduledRetries` +
`resumeQueuedRuns` execute the retry run to success;
- a non-assignee comment-mention wake defers, does not touch the issue
execution lock, and its retry promotes, survives the claim-time
staleness check, and executes despite the assignee mismatch;
- an assignee retry is still cancelled with `issue_reassigned` when the
issue is reassigned while the retry pends;
- a holder issue with `executionWorkspaceSettings.mode =
"isolated_workspace"` does not cause deferral;
- a running run in a different project workspace does not cause
deferral;
- a holder silent past the staleness threshold does not cause deferral
(the run executes);
- a retry with ten prior deferrals still defers again — never dispatches
— while the holder is live;
- delay jitter stays inside the base-to-base-plus-jitter window and
clamps out-of-range random sources.
- `cd server && pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/heartbeat-` — full
heartbeat suite sweep.
- `cd server && pnpm run typecheck`.
## Risks
- Behavioral shift: shared-workspace runs that used to start immediately
now wait for the workspace to free. Against a long-running live holder
the wait is unbounded by design — the alternative is dispatching into a
held working tree, which is the corruption this PR removes. Every
deferral is visible in the run timeline (lifecycle event with the holder
run, issue, and attempt number), and the wake is parked, never dropped.
- A zombie holder (a `running` row whose process died) delays contending
runs by up to the 1 h staleness threshold before it stops counting.
Recovery's silent-run escalation targets the same run on the same clock,
so this window matches what the system already tolerates for silent
active runs.
- The holder check and the dispatch are not atomic; two runs that pass
the gate in the same instant can still race. The gate closes the common
window (a second run waking while the first is mid-execution); the
pre-existing sync-conflict handling remains the backstop for the rare
simultaneous start.
- No schema change, no API change, no new configuration.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The decisions service lets agents propose decisions with a TTL, and
a sweep expires them.
> - Four sweep tests create decisions that expire 5 ms in the future,
then race the service's own clock read.
> - On a loaded CI runner more than 5 ms routinely elapse before
validation, so `create` itself rejects the decision and the test fails
on unrelated PRs.
> - This pull request makes the expiry deterministic: create with a
comfortable future TTL, then move `expiresAt` into the past directly in
the store.
> - The benefit is that the decisions suite stops failing intermittently
and stops blocking unrelated PRs.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No open issue exists; the defect is described here following the bug
template.
**What happened?**
`decisions-service.test.ts` fails intermittently in CI with `expiresAt
must be within 30 days` in `bounds expiration work to the configured
batch size` and `falls back to the default sweep batch size for invalid
configuration`. The failure hits unrelated PRs — for example the `PR`
workflow runs for #10699 failed three times on this suite while the same
suite passes locally.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run `pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/decisions-service.test.ts` on a
machine under load (or add a ~10 ms delay inside
`decisionService.create` before the expiry validation).
2. The test builds `expiresAt: new Date(Date.now() + 5)`; by the time
`create` validates, `expiresAt.getTime() <= Date.now()` is true.
3. `create` throws `expiresAt must be within 30 days` (the past-expiry
branch of the validator) and the test fails before the sweep runs.
**Expected behavior**
The sweep tests exercise expiry deterministically and never depend on
fewer than 5 ms elapsing between two clock reads in different modules.
**Paperclip version**
master (`717684ad8f`); the tests landed with the decisions desk workflow
in #10672.
**Deployment mode**
Not deployment-specific — CI and local test runs.
## What Changed
- `server/src/__tests__/decisions-service.test.ts`: added two helpers —
`nearFutureExpiry()` (a 60 s TTL that passes validation with a wide
margin) and `expireDecisionNow(id)` (moves the stored `expiresAt` into
the past). The four affected tests create decisions with the future TTL,
force-expire them through the store, and drop the 10 ms sleeps. The
sweep observes the same expired state as before with no scheduler-timing
dependence.
## Verification
- `cd server && pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/decisions-service.test.ts`
— five consecutive local runs, 31/31 passing each.
- No production code changed; the diff is test-only.
## Risks
- Low risk: test-only change. The force-expire helper writes the store
directly, which is the same technique other TTL suites use to avoid
sleeping through real time.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane teams use to manage AI agents and
their reusable capabilities.
> - Skills Manager lets operators discover and import skills from
project workspaces.
> - Automatic discovery only surfaces skills in conventional locations,
so valid skills stored elsewhere in a project are invisible.
> - Operators need a safe way to navigate project folders without
exposing paths outside the selected workspace.
> - This pull request adds company-scoped workspace folder browsing and
selection to the project skill import flow.
> - The benefit is that operators can find and import valid skill
folders regardless of repository layout while preserving workspace
boundaries.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- **Subsystem affected:** Cross-cutting (`server/`, `ui/`, and
`packages/shared`).
- **Problem or motivation:** Project skill imports rely on conventional
directory discovery, which prevents operators from selecting valid
`SKILL.md` folders stored in atypical locations.
- **Proposed solution:** Add a company-scoped browse endpoint and a
folder browser in the import dialog. The server resolves real paths,
rejects traversal outside the workspace, skips symlinks and high-noise
directories, identifies skill directories/files, and caps listings at
250 entries.
- **Alternatives considered:** Expanding the automatic scan to every
directory would be slower and noisier, while accepting arbitrary
filesystem paths would weaken project/workspace scoping.
- **Roadmap alignment:** This extends the completed “Skills Manager,
Skill Studio & Skills Store” capability in `ROADMAP.md` without
duplicating planned core work.
- **Additional context:** GitHub search found no duplicate or closely
related public issues or pull requests.
## What Changed
- Added shared browse request/result contracts and validation for
project workspace navigation.
- Added a company-scoped API route and service that safely lists local
workspace folders and detects `SKILL.md` entries.
- Added project workspace/folder navigation to the import dialog,
including parent navigation, workspace switching, truncation feedback,
and direct skill selection.
- Added service and route regression tests for browsing, skill
detection, company isolation, and traversal rejection.
- Added shared response schemas and OpenAPI documentation for the browse
endpoint.
- Hardened explicit skill selections with realpath containment so
symlinked directories cannot escape the project workspace.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-skills.test.ts` — 64 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts` — 3
tests passed.
- Focused post-review reruns: `company-skills-service.test.ts` — 45
tests passed; shared/server typechecks passed.
- GitHub latest-head checks — all green after one transient e2e rerun;
no pending or failing checks.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — all gates clean on the rebased head.
## Risks
- Low-to-moderate risk: this adds a filesystem browsing surface.
Realpath containment checks prevent workspace escape, symlinks are
excluded, remote-managed workspaces are rejected, and directory listings
are capped.
- The browser intentionally hides `.git` and `node_modules`; skills
inside those directories cannot be selected through this flow.

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

old work

> - The benefit is a smaller daily queue without lost or orphaned work
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: server, UI, database, and shared contracts.
**Problem or motivation**
Decision work can grow into one large company list. Operators need quick
queue and date controls. Old items also need a safe retention path that
does not delete work.
**Proposed solution**
Add queue and date controls to the Decisions desk. Compute the aging
shelf on the server. Archive idle items after 90 days unless an operator
keeps them. Keep archived items searchable and revivable. Notify origin
agents in one batch per sweep. Bind bulk archive proposals to a signed,
exact item manifest.
**Alternatives considered**
Client-only aging can drift across browsers and source kinds. Deleting
old rows removes audit and recovery paths. An unsigned dynamic bulk
query can archive items that the reviewer did not inspect.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports the Work Queues and decision-memory directions in
`ROADMAP.md`. It extends the Decisions and attention-feed foundation
from #10651. Related earlier work includes #9380, #10010, and #10474.
## What Changed
- Added the queue rail, date chips, decide split, triage strip, queue
page, and aging shelf UI.
- Added server-owned shelf state with per-queue retention overrides.
- Added reversible retention state, archive history, and an idempotent
notification outbox.
- Added the 90-day archive sweeper, Keep exemption, archived feed query,
and revive actions.
- Added one origin-agent notification per agent and sweep.
- Added signed bulk archive proposals with exact-set and version checks.
- Persisted queue-exclusion reasons atomically and kept cross-domain
source resolution per-item until it has an exact-set transaction
contract.
- Added API contracts, OpenAPI entries, migration coverage, focused
tests, and Storybook screens.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm test:run` (server: 329 files and 3,453 tests passed; UI: 408
files and 3,362 tests passed)
- `env -u AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -u AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY pnpm exec vitest
run cli/src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- Focused retention, attention, decisions, migration replay, startup,
and UI API tests.
- Complete queue snapshot regression with 51 items across the normal
50-item page boundary.
The unmodified CLI test reports one warning assertion in this runtime
because the harness injects static AWS credential variables. The
isolated test passes when those two variables are removed.
## Risks
- The migration adds retention and notification outbox tables. It uses
idempotent table, index, and foreign-key creation.
- Retention runs on the heartbeat scheduler interval. Compare-and-set
version checks prevent stale archive writes.
- Bulk archive acceptance fails closed when authority, activity,
version, or the reviewed set changes.
- Archive is reversible and does not delete source records.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Mine inbox gives each human user a personal work queue.
> - A human user can complete a task from the board.
> - The status update did not update the user's inbox archive state.
> - The completed task therefore stayed in the user's Mine inbox.
> - This pull request archives the task for the human user who completes
it.
> - Agent completion does not change another user's inbox archive state.
> - The benefit is that manual completion removes the task from Mine
without an extra action or comment.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
When a human user changed a task status to `done`, the task stayed in
that user's Mine inbox.
**Expected behavior**
The status change should archive the task from that user's Mine inbox.
The operation should not add a task comment.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open a task that appears in Mine.
2. Change the task status to `done`.
3. Return to Mine.
4. Observe that the completed task is still present.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` before this change.
**Deployment mode**
All deployment modes with a board user and the Mine inbox.
**Access context**
Board (human operator).
## What Changed
- Archive the completed task for the board user who changes its status
to `done`.
- Persist the status update, inbox archive, and archive audit
atomically.
- Publish live and plugin activity only after the owning transaction
commits, including recovery, decision, and approval completion paths.
- Keep agent-driven completion from changing a human user's inbox
archive state.
- Add database-backed regression tests for the archive, audit, Mine
filter, rollback, event publication, recovery, and agent paths.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/inbox-archive-routes.test.ts` passed all 7 tests.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-recovery-actions.test.ts` passed all 44
tests.
- Five directly affected server test files passed all 74 tests; decision
and comment-route suites passed all 105 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passed after the final
fix.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed.
- The initial repo-wide `pnpm test:run` passed 3,223 tests; one
unrelated plugin orchestration wake-reason test failed and reproduced in
isolation.
- All latest-head GitHub Actions gates are green, including all server
and E2E shards.
- Greptile reviewed the latest commit at 5/5 with no unresolved review
threads.
- Public GitHub search found no duplicate issue or pull request.
## Risks
- Low risk. The behavior only runs on a board user's transition into
`done`.
- Reopening and completing the task again updates the existing per-user
archive row.
- Agent status updates do not archive a human user's inbox.
- Transactional callers must supply a post-commit activity queue;
covered completion paths do so and tests exercise rollback and
publication order.
- This bug fix does not duplicate planned core work in `ROADMAP.md`.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related pull request: #10652 covers the initial deferred
database-seeding slice. This pull request supersedes it with end-to-end
runtime provisioning and safe cleanup.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This improves isolated worktree creation, runtime service startup, and
isolated instance cleanup.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: CLI worktree setup, server runtime orchestration, shared
workspace contracts, and development scripts.
**Current behavior**
Paperclip seeds an isolated development database during worktree
creation. It can also leave an isolated instance directory after
workspace teardown. This work happens even when no runtime service
starts.
**Proposed behavior**
Paperclip creates the worktree with a lean eager setup. It runs an
idempotent runtime provision command before the first managed service
spawn. Concurrent starts share one provision attempt. Teardown removes
the isolated instance safely.
**Reason and benefit**
Many agent tasks only edit and test code. They do not need a running
Paperclip instance. Deferring the database seed reduces workspace
startup cost while preserving automatic setup for tasks that start the
app.
**Breaking changes**
None. The new runtime provision command is optional. Existing workspace
behavior is unchanged when it is absent.
## What Changed
- Split Paperclip worktree setup into a lean eager script and an
idempotent runtime provision script.
- Added `runtimeProvisionCommand` to project, issue, realized workspace,
and persisted workspace contracts.
- Added a per-workspace provision mutex before local service spawn for
heartbeat, operator, and startup recovery flows.
- Added a persisted `provisioning` service state and the
`workspace_runtime_provision` operation phase.
- Kept provision time outside the service readiness timeout and made
failed attempts visible and retryable.
- Reclaimed isolated instance data during safe workspace teardown.
- Serialized deferred database seeding across processes and bound
teardown to the instance root captured in persisted workspace metadata.
- Added tests for config flow, concurrency, retry, no-op behavior,
readiness timing, scripts, CLI commands, and cleanup.
- Documented the eager and runtime provisioning contracts.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm test:run` (server: 3,201 passed; UI: 3,345 passed; the CLI phase
exposed one environment-sensitive AWS doctor assertion because the agent
runtime injects static AWS credentials)
- `env -u AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -u AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY pnpm exec vitest
run cli/src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts -t 'passes AWS doctor checks when
non-secret provider config is present'`
- Focused runtime tests cover serialized provisioning, retry after
stderr failure, absent-command no-op behavior, operation logging,
persisted state order, and readiness timeout exclusion.
- Focused CLI and cleanup tests cover concurrent seed serialization,
stale-lock fail-closed behavior, persisted instance ownership, and
rewritten sibling pointers.
## Risks
- A faulty runtime provision script blocks service startup. Paperclip
records stderr, marks the service failed, and retries on the next start.
- Concurrent service requests share an in-process provision attempt,
while the seed command uses an atomic filesystem lock across processes.
A stale lock fails closed and requires an operator to verify no seed is
running before removing it.
- Isolated instance cleanup is destructive. The cleanup service
validates ownership and path containment before removal.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip creates isolated instances for server-managed git
worktrees.
> - The worktree teardown path removes the git worktree but leaves its
isolated instance directory behind.
> - The leaked directory can retain an embedded PostgreSQL process and
database files.
> - Teardown must remove only the collision-resistant instance assigned
to that exact worktree path.
> - This pull request stops the verified embedded PostgreSQL process and
removes the guarded instance directory.
> - The benefit is complete worktree cleanup without risk to another,
default, or live Paperclip instance.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Closing a server-managed git worktree removed the git worktree and
branch, but it left the isolated Paperclip instance directory behind. A
live embedded PostgreSQL process could also keep running against that
directory.
**Expected behavior**
Worktree teardown must stop the isolated embedded PostgreSQL process and
remove only the instance assigned to that exact worktree. It must refuse
mismatched instance IDs and all paths outside
`PAPERCLIP_WORKTREES_DIR/instances/`.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a server-managed git worktree with a repo-local
`.paperclip/.env` file.
2. Start its isolated embedded PostgreSQL instance.
3. Close the execution workspace.
4. Observe that the git worktree is removed but the isolated instance
directory remains.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The bug reproduces on `master` before this change.
**Deployment mode**
Local development with a server-managed git worktree and embedded
PostgreSQL.
## What Changed
- Give server-managed worktrees collision-resistant instance IDs derived
from their resolved absolute paths.
- Capture the repo-local instance pointer before custom teardown
commands can remove it.
- Require the pointer's instance ID to match the exact worktree-derived
ID.
- Resolve and validate the instance path against the canonical managed
worktree instance root.
- Verify and stop the matching embedded PostgreSQL process before
directory removal, including process-exit races.
- Record successful and refused cleanup operations in the workspace
operation log.
- Add focused ownership, process-race, path-safety, and runtime
integration tests.
- Document automatic isolated-instance cleanup for server-managed
worktrees.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/workspace-instance-cleanup.test.ts` — 9 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts -t "records teardown and cleanup
operations when a recorder is provided"` — 1 test passed and 99 tests
skipped.
- `node scripts/__tests__/provision-worktree-self-heal.test.mjs` — 4
tests passed.
- `bash -n scripts/provision-worktree.sh` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server build` — passed.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
## Risks
The main risk is removal of the wrong instance directory. Provisioning
assigns a path-derived ID with a SHA-256 suffix, and cleanup requires
that exact ID in addition to a safe instance identifier, an absolute
configured home, a strict child path, canonical path checks, and a
second canonical path check immediately before removal. It refuses
legacy or mismatched IDs, symlink escapes, and all paths outside the
managed worktree instance root. Cleanup failures become visible warnings
and do not delete an unverified path.

## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5. The runtime does not expose the exact model
snapshot or context-window size. The agent used reasoning, repository
tools, GitHub tools, and code execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane for companies of AI
agents.
> - Operators use the attention feed to find decisions that need action.
> - The feed has eleven source kinds, but it has no durable queue or
triage state.
> - The feed also returns every item and lacks decision deadlines,
snooze state, and decision-focused ordering.
> - This pull request adds secure queue sidecars and enriches the
attention feed with triage data, filters, cursor pagination, and
decide-now ranking.
> - The benefit is a bounded feed that can show the most urgent
decisions first without weakening source visibility rules.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This pull request replaces the closed
[#10634](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/10634). It
combines that queue foundation with the dependent attention-feed change
as one review unit.
**Subsystem affected**
Database schema, shared contracts, server authorization and REST APIs,
and the UI attention client library.
**Problem or motivation**
The attention feed can contain hundreds of mixed decision items.
Operators cannot group them into durable queues, set a decision
deadline, snooze an item, or request a bounded page ordered by urgency.
The current client must download the full feed on each refresh.
**Proposed solution**
Store queue membership and triage state by stable attention identity.
Re-authorize each source during queue reads and writes. Enrich attention
items with queue, deadline, snooze, expiry, rule, and origin data. Add
activity and queue filters, opaque cursor pagination, decide-focused
ordering, and a decide-now count.
**Alternatives considered**
Adding queue fields to every source would duplicate schema and
authorization logic across eleven source kinds. Client-only filtering
and sorting would still transfer the full feed and would make pagination
unstable.
**Roadmap alignment**
This change improves the core decision-attention surface and operator
oversight. It does not implement the separate general-purpose work queue
milestone in `ROADMAP.md`.
## What Changed
- Added company-scoped queue, membership, triage, and append-only event
tables with actor and run provenance.
- Added queue CRUD, item membership, starter-rule discovery, and
decide-by and snooze endpoints.
- Kept source authorization on each queue mutation, read, and count.
- Added attention fields for expiry, rule, origin agent, queues,
decide-by attribution, and snooze state.
- Added activity date filters, queue filters, opaque cursor pagination,
and configurable page limits.
- Added decide-now ordering by deadline, expiry, severity, and activity.
- Added `decideNowCount` and excluded actively snoozed items from the
default feed.
- Updated the shared and UI client contracts.
- Added focused server, route, OpenAPI, and UI client tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/attention-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/decision-queues-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts ui/src/api/attention.test.ts
ui/src/lib/attention.test.ts` (72 tests passed)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`
- `pnpm -r --filter @paperclipai/db --filter @paperclipai/shared
--filter @paperclipai/server --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD`
## Risks
- The migration adds four company-scoped tables and provenance foreign
keys. Migration numbering and safety checks pass.
- Attention reads can lazily create starter queues and memberships.
Inserts are idempotent, audited, and transactional.
- Cursor validity depends on the filtered feed. The API returns a clear
validation error when the cursor item no longer exists in that feed.
- Queue reads re-check source visibility. This favors correct
authorization over fewer queries.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The inbox shows work that a board user owns or has joined
> - Issue detail views update a per-user read receipt
> - The Mine query treated that read receipt as user participation
> - A passive view therefore added the issue to Mine
> - This pull request separates passive reads from audited user
mutations
> - The benefit is a Mine inbox that reflects ownership and real
participation
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Opening an issue detail marks the issue as read. The Mine query treated
the read receipt as participation. The viewed issue then appeared in
Mine even when the user did not change it.
**Expected behavior**
Viewing an issue can update unread state. A view alone must not add the
issue to Mine. Issue creation, assignment, comments, and audited user
mutations must add it.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open an issue that you did not create and that is not assigned to
you.
2. Do not comment or change the issue.
3. Open the Mine inbox.
4. Observe that the issue appears in Mine on the previous
implementation.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`90ead239a8`
**Deployment mode**
Local dev from source.
**Additional context**
Related approach: #3421 changes Mine to an assignee-only filter. This
change keeps participation-based Mine behavior and corrects the
participation signal.
## What Changed
- Use an explicit audited user-mutation allowlist for Mine
participation, including comment cancellation.
- Keep passive reads, previews, denied resource requests, and archive
bookkeeping out of Mine participation.
- Record manual routine reuse as an explicit audited inbox touch instead
of a read receipt.
- Keep that inbox bookkeeping from satisfying routine activity gates.
- Add focused regression coverage for passive views, real mutations,
comment cancellation, and manual routine runs.
- Document the Mine participation contract.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts -t
"does not treat passive issue activity"`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/routines-service.test.ts -t
"touches a (coalesced|skipped active) routine issue|ignores inbox
bookkeeping activity"`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- GitHub latest-head CI: all required checks passed, including build,
typecheck, server suites, and e2e shards.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change affects only the server query that defines user
participation in Mine and the manual routine touch signal.
- Historical audited user mutations can now qualify an issue for Mine.
Passive read and archive actions remain excluded.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents on the same project can share one `shared_workspace` clone,
and each sandbox run reconciles its git history back into it
> - When histories written by different runs genuinely diverge,
reconciliation can hit a real merge conflict — a property of the
*workspace*, not of whichever agent happened to run last
> - That agent nonetheless finalized into a sticky `error` state,
removing a healthy agent from rotation while the workspace stayed broken
— and on a shared workspace this serially knocks out every agent that
touches it
> - This pull request classifies workspace-reconciliation failure
signatures as workspace-scoped, so the run still fails with the full
message but the agent stays invokable
> - The benefit is that one bad workspace state no longer disables
agents one by one
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #10645 — this addresses the sticky-agent-error clause of that
issue. Workspace run serialization / per-agent worktrees remain tracked
there (design sketch on the issue).
## What Changed
- New exported `isWorkspaceSyncConflictFailure(message)` matching the
reconciliation failure signatures: `merge-tree` conflict ("Failed to
merge concurrent remote git histories"), integrate-retry exhaustion
("Failed to integrate concurrent remote git history"), and bundle
prerequisite failures ("did not send all necessary objects", "lacks
these prerequisite commits").
- Both run-failure finalization paths (adapter returned a failed result;
adapter threw) pass `keepIdleOnFailure` for these signatures — the same
mechanism already used for provider-quota failures — so the agent
finalizes to `idle` instead of `error`. The run itself still fails and
carries the full message; nothing about run reporting changes.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts` — new
signature matrix (4 positive signatures, negatives for unrelated adapter
failures and null/empty); 121 tests total.
- `cd server && pnpm run typecheck`.
## Risks
- Low. The only change is which failure families put the agent into
`error`; behavior for every other failure is untouched. A workspace
stuck in conflict still fails every run against it (visible on the runs
surface) — it just no longer takes agents down with it.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Runs that must push to GitHub have a pre-dispatch credential
preflight (`push_write_credential_missing`) so the missing token
surfaces as a configuration-incomplete blocker instead of a late runtime
failure
> - The preflight only triggers when the issue mentions the GitHub PR
workflow *skill* — routine-created issues and agent-to-agent handoffs
rarely do, even when their text literally says "push the branch and open
a PR"
> - In practice the credential gap then surfaced only after
implementation and review were complete, stranding finished work
> - This pull request adds a conservative, verb-anchored text heuristic
over the issue title and description as a second preflight trigger
> - The benefit is that the credential ask reaches the human before any
work is burned
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#10644 (completes the prevention set with #10648, #10650, #10658)
## What Changed
- `issueTextImpliesPrDeliverable(text)`: matches verb-anchored
deliverable statements — "open/create/raise/submit a (draft) pull
request/PR", "push … branch/remote/origin/upstream". Verb anchoring
deliberately ignores passing mentions ("the PR merged yesterday", "PR
feedback addressed").
- `requiresPushCapabilityPreflight` takes the issue's title+description
and ORs the text heuristic with the existing skill-mention trigger;
adapter-type and issue gating are unchanged. The run-dispatch call site
threads the already-loaded issue text — no extra query.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts` — new
heuristic matrix (4 positive, 6 negative including null/empty) and
preflight-by-text cases (text triggers, passing mention does not, no
issue → no preflight); 122 tests total.
- `cd server && pnpm run typecheck`.
## Risks
- A false positive turns into a configuration-incomplete blocker asking
for a GitHub token on an issue that didn't need one — the heuristic is
intentionally conservative (verb-anchored) to keep that rare, and the
blocker names the exact remediation.
- No behavior change for issues that neither mention the skill nor state
a PR deliverable.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents decompose work by creating child issues assigned to other
agents
> - When two agents each lack a capability the other assumed (e.g.
neither can push to GitHub), each can "resolve" its blocker by
delegating the same step to the other: A creates a child for B, B
creates a grandchild back for A
> - Nothing detects the cycle; the chain of blocked issues grows and no
signal reaches the human who could actually fix the capability gap
> - This pull request refuses agent-initiated child creation when the
child's assignee is the creator of a still-open ancestor in the same
chain — a mechanical, semantics-free cycle signal
> - The benefit is that the hot-potato dies at creation time with an
actionable error instead of growing a dead chain
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#10642 (write-time counterpart: #10648 refuses assignment to
paused agents; the credential-gap *preflight* side is tracked separately
in #10644)
## What Changed
- `issueService.findOpenAncestorCreatedByAgent(parentIssueId, agentId,
{maxDepth})`: bounded walk up the parent chain looking for a still-open
(not done/cancelled) ancestor created by the given agent.
- Agent-initiated issue creation with a parent (both the
create-with-`parentId` route and `POST /issues/:id/children`) now
refuses with a structured 409 (`code: delegation_cycle`, naming the
ancestor) when the new child would be assigned to the agent that created
a still-open ancestor: that agent delegated the work into this chain, so
assigning it back is a cycle. The message states the alternatives —
complete the work, leave the child unassigned, or escalate to a board
operator.
- Deliberately unaffected: human actors (deliberate re-routing is their
call), closed ancestors (re-engaging the creator of finished work is
normal), and accepted-plan decomposition (its children come from a
human-approved plan).
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-assignee-invokability-routes.test.ts` — cycle
refused with 409 and no create call; the same child allowed when no open
ancestor matches; board actors never consult the guard.
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts` — new
embedded-Postgres coverage: ancestor found through the chain, closed
ancestors ignored, depth bound honored (114 total).
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-create-deduplication-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts` —
unchanged (79).
- `cd server && pnpm run typecheck`.
## Risks
- Low-to-moderate: a new 409 for a creation shape that previously
succeeded. The blocked shape (agent assigns new work to the creator of
an open ancestor) is the cycle signature; the legitimate "hand a subtask
to the parent's assignee" pattern is unaffected because it keys on
assignee, not creator. Watchdog and plan-decomposition flows are exempt
or unaffected as described.
- The walk adds at most `maxDepth` (10) single-row lookups per agent
child creation with an assignee.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Operators can cancel a running agent from the board when a run is
unwanted — most acutely while cleaning up a runaway loop
> - The recovery machinery treats a cancelled run like any other
unsuccessful terminal run: the stranded-issue sweep classifies the issue
as stranded, creates a recovery action, and wakes the agent again
> - So cancelling runs to stop a loop *fed* the loop: each operator
cancel spawned a recovery action that re-woke the agent the operator had
just stopped
> - This pull request stamps board-initiated cancellations with operator
attribution and makes the sweep stand down while such a run is the
issue's latest activity
> - The benefit is that an operator's cancel is final until something
new happens, instead of being fought by automation
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#10646
## What Changed
- `POST /heartbeat-runs/:runId/cancel` (board-only) now cancels with an
explicit reason ("Cancelled by a board operator") and stamps
`resultJson.cancelledByActorType: "user"` / `cancelledByUserId`.
- `reconcileStrandedAssignedIssues` gains an early stand-down: when the
issue's latest run is operator-cancelled (the new stamp, or the existing
`operator_interrupted` error code from interrupt-by-comment), the issue
is skipped entirely — no recovery action, no wake — and counted in a new
`operatorCancelExempted` result field. The exemption is inherently
self-limiting: any newer run or wake supersedes it because the gate only
looks at the *latest* run.
- System cancellations without operator attribution (lease expiry,
assignee changes, terminal-status cancels, pause holds) keep today's
recovery behavior unchanged.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/issue-recovery-actions.test.ts`
(embedded Postgres) — 3 new cases: a stamped operator cancel produces
zero recovery actions and zero wakes; an `operator_interrupted` cancel
likewise; an unattributed system cancel still flows into pre-existing
recovery (wake observed), proving the stand-down is scoped to operator
attribution.
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-scheduled-retry-routes.test.ts` — unchanged
(109 tests).
- `cd server && pnpm run typecheck`.
## Risks
- Low. The only suppressed behavior is recovery of runs a human
explicitly cancelled from the board; everything else is byte-identical.
If an operator cancels and walks away, the issue stays quiet until any
new activity — which is the intent (the operator owns the next step).

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server enforces an issue execution policy. It gates status
changes while a review or approval stage is active.
> - A board user could not cancel a task while an agent reviewer held
the active stage. The API returned "Only the active reviewer or approver
can advance the current execution stage".
> - Board users own the board. They must always be able to edit and
cancel any task.
> - This pull request adds a board override to the execution stage
transition. A board cancel clears the pending stage state and proceeds
instead of raising an error.
> - The benefit is that board users can always stop work, even while a
review is pending or the stored stage state has drifted.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this bug. Description follows
`bug_report.yml`:
**What happened?**
A board user set a task to `cancelled` while the task had an active
reviewer stage held by an agent. The PATCH failed with "Task Update
Failed... only the assigned approver or reviewer...". The same failure
occurred when the stored stage state had drifted: the server silently
forced the task back to `in_review` instead of honoring the cancel.
**Expected behavior**
A board user can always edit and cancel any task. A board cancel must
clear the pending review stage and apply the requested status.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a task assigned to agent A with agent B configured as reviewer
in the execution policy.
2. Let agent A hand the task off so the review stage becomes active.
3. As the board user, set the task status to Cancelled.
4. The update fails with the reviewer-only error.
Related work: #5487 touches the execution-policy approver UI. It does
not address the board cancel path.
## What Changed
- `server/src/routes/issues.ts`: the issue PATCH route now passes
`allowBoardOverride` when the actor is a board user.
- `server/src/services/issue-execution-policy.ts`: when
`allowBoardOverride` is set and the requested status is not `in_review`
or `in_progress`, the transition clears `executionState` and proceeds.
This applies both while a stage decision is pending and when the stage
state has drifted, so a board cancel is no longer rejected or silently
flipped back to `in_review`.
- Reviewer gating is unchanged for everyone else: a board user who is
the active participant still uses the normal approve / request-changes
flow, and non-participant agents still receive the 422 guard.
- Assignee-only board updates on an `in_review` task keep the stage
state coherent: reassigning to an eligible stage participant re-pends
the stage with them as the current participant, while reassigning to a
non-participant (or unassigning) dissolves the review back to
`in_progress` instead of persisting an `in_review` issue with no
execution state or an ineligible participant.
- New unit tests and route tests cover board cancellation of an active
review stage and of a drifted pending review, plus reviewer swap,
non-participant reassignment, and unassignment during an active review.
## Verification
- In `server/`: `pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-execution-policy.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-execution-policy-routes.test.ts` — 2 files, 73/73
tests pass on top of current `master`.
- In `server/`: `pnpm run typecheck` passes.
## Risks
- Low risk. The override branch runs only for board actors and only for
target statuses other than `in_review` and `in_progress`. Cancelling
clears `executionState`, so a later reopen starts from a fresh stage
state. Agent-facing flows and reviewer gating are unchanged.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents can create and assign issues to other agents, and commonly
escalate to their org-chart manager (`reports_to`) when they hit
something outside their authority
> - Issue assignment already refuses terminated and pending-approval
assignees, but accepts paused assignees from any actor
> - A paused agent never runs, so agent-initiated escalations to a
paused manager become invisible dead letters — accepted silently, never
picked up, never surfaced
> - This pull request refuses paused assignees when the assigning actor
is an agent, at the single normalization helper all four assignment
paths flow through
> - The benefit is that agent-routed work can no longer silently vanish
into a paused agent's queue
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#10641
## What Changed
- `normalizeIssueAssigneeAgentReference` (used by issue create, both
child-create routes, and issue update) now throws a 409 when an
**agent** actor assigns to a **paused** agent, with a message naming the
alternatives: assign an invokable agent, leave the issue unassigned, or
escalate to a board operator.
- Board/user actors are unchanged and may still assign to paused agents
deliberately — the pause state is visible in the UI, and staging work
for a later unpause is a legitimate workflow. Terminated /
pending-approval / invalid-org-chain refusals are unchanged for all
actors.
- This matches the existing precedent for watchdogs ("Cannot assign
watchdog to an agent that is not invokable") using the same
conflict-error shape.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-assignee-invokability-routes.test.ts` — new
coverage: agent PATCH → paused assignee 409 (no update call), agent
child-create → paused assignee 409 (no create call), agent assignment to
an invokable agent still 200, board assignment to a paused agent still
200.
- Neighboring suites unchanged: `issue-update-comment-wakeup-routes`,
`issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes`,
`issue-create-deduplication-routes`, `issue-watchdogs-routes` (97
tests).
- `cd server && pnpm run typecheck`.
## Risks
- Low. The only behavior change is a new 409 for agent actors assigning
to paused agents — previously a silent dead-letter. Agents that relied
on this (escalation flows) now get an actionable error instead; human
workflows are untouched.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Execution policies let one agent implement and another review,
cycling through changes-requested → addressed rounds
> - Nothing bounds that cycle: no round counter, no escalation, no
termination signal — two agents can ping-pong indefinitely, especially
when the review's success criteria drift to something the implementer
cannot satisfy
> - On a real multi-agent instance this produced 6+ unattended rounds
(~8 runs) that continued even after the human had merged the PR under
review
> - This pull request counts consecutive agent-initiated
changes-requested rounds and, at a configurable cap, hands the
still-pending review to the responsible human instead of bouncing back
to the implementer
> - The benefit is that unattended review loops terminate in a human
decision instead of burning runs forever
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#10643
## What Changed
- `IssueExecutionState.changesRequestedCount` (schema + type, default
0): consecutive agent-initiated changes-requested rounds on the current
stage. Carries through executor resubmissions, resets to 0 on approval,
and resets when a **human** makes the changes-requested decision — the
cap targets unattended agent↔agent ping-pong, never human review.
- `IssueExecutionPolicy.maxReviewRounds` (optional, 1–50, default null →
server default `DEFAULT_MAX_REVIEW_ROUNDS = 3`).
- At the cap, the transition records the reviewer's changes-requested
decision as usual but keeps the stage **pending** with the responsible
human (`responsibleUserId`, falling back to `createdByUserId`) as the
participant: the issue is assigned to that human and the pending review
surfaces through the existing attention/review UI. The human then
approves, requests changes (resetting the counter and handing back to
the implementer), or re-scopes.
- The escalated hold is sticky: transitions from anyone other than the
escalated human no longer re-select a configured agent participant for
the stage (which would have silently undone the escalation on the next
unrelated PATCH). The escalated human's own decisions flow through the
normal participant decision branch.
- Issues with no responsible human keep today's hand-back behavior; the
counter still accumulates so operators can see the churn.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/issue-execution-policy.test.ts`
— 8 new cases: round counting on hand-back, count carried through
resubmission, escalation at the default cap, sticky hold across
unrelated transitions, human changes-requested resets the counter, human
approval completes the stage, no-responsible-human fallback, and a
`maxReviewRounds: 1` policy override.
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-execution-policy-routes.test.ts` and the full
`@paperclipai/shared` suite (387 tests) — schema additions are backward
compatible (both fields optional with defaults; persisted states without
the counter parse as 0).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared exec tsc --noEmit` and `cd server
&& pnpm run typecheck`.
## Risks
- Behavior change: an agent-only review loop that previously ran forever
now escalates to a human after 3 agent rounds by default. Instances that
want longer loops can set `maxReviewRounds` per policy. Flows where a
human participates are unaffected (human decisions reset the counter).
- Escalation requires a `responsibleUserId`/`createdByUserId` on the
issue; without one, behavior is unchanged.
- Persisted execution states from before this change parse with
`changesRequestedCount: 0` — no migration needed.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The server posts the workspace-ready task comment after workspace
provisioning and adapter-managed runtime startup.
**Current behavior**
The task thread shows a full Markdown comment with strategy, branch,
working directory, services, and warnings. Long branch names can make
this card dominate the thread.
**Proposed behavior**
Show the comment as a compact system-notice row. Expand the row in place
to show the original Markdown body and structured workspace, service,
and warning details. Use a warning tone and open the details by default
when warnings exist.
**Reason and benefit**
The same workspace data is available in the task properties. The compact
row keeps the thread easy to scan while it preserves the full comment
for API consumers and expanded inspection.
**Breaking changes**
None. The comment body stays unchanged. Existing comments without
presentation data keep their current rendering.
## What Changed
- Added workspace-ready presentation and metadata builders.
- Added structured workspace, service, reuse, and warning details.
- Wired both workspace-ready comment paths to send presentation and
metadata options.
- Added focused unit and heartbeat-level tests.
Collapsed notice:
Expanded notice:
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/workspace-runtime-ready-comment.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-ready-comment.test.ts` — 8
tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- `pnpm test:run` — 300 server files and 405 UI files passed. One
unrelated CLI AWS doctor test detected static credentials from the
runner environment. The same test passed with `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and
`AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` removed.
- Built the existing system-notice Storybook story and captured both
compact and expanded states.
- GitHub CI — all latest-head gates passed. One signoff-policy e2e shard
hit a transient checkout-state race and passed on its single rerun.
## Risks
Low risk. This change only adds optional comment presentation data in
two server paths. The body, database schema, API contract, and old
comments remain unchanged. Incorrect metadata would affect only expanded
structured details; focused tests cover the shape and both warning
states.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The heartbeat service is the control plane that runs agents through
adapters and records each run's usage and cost in the finance/cost
ledger
> - Adapters report a provider cost (`costUsd`), but there is no way to
represent the provider-billed cost *after* prompt-cache discounts, so
cache-heavy runs are priced wrong and some paid runs end up exported
with a zero/null cost
> - A benchmark comparing Paperclip-orchestrated runs against direct
harness invocation of the same tasks measured 1.5–3.1× higher apparent
USD per pair, largely because cache-discounted billing was not
represented in the exported cost data
> - This pull request adds an optional `cacheAdjustedCostUsd` field to
`AdapterExecutionResult` and a `resolveCacheAdjustedCostUsd` helper in
the heartbeat service that prefers the explicit cache-adjusted figure
and falls back to the reported `costUsd`, persisting it into the run's
usage/ledger JSON
> - The benefit is that paid runs are no longer exported as zero/null
cost and cache-heavy runs can be priced correctly, so operators
comparing orchestrated vs. direct costs see real numbers
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No single existing public issue covers this exactly; closely related
cost-reporting issues:
- Refs #8947 — hermes adapter never reports usage/cost to Paperclip, so
budget limits never trigger
- Refs #6716 — hermes_local cost/usage capture returns zero
- Refs #3320 — expose per-run token counts in activity log and dashboard
**Problem (feature-request form):** Adapters can only report a single
`costUsd`. Providers with prompt caching bill less than the nominal
token cost, and the heartbeat cost accounting has no field for the
cache-adjusted billed amount. As a result, cache-heavy paid runs are
either priced at the undiscounted figure or, when the adapter withholds
the ambiguous number, exported as zero/null. **Proposed solution:** an
explicit optional `cacheAdjustedCostUsd` on the adapter execution
result, resolved server-side with a safe fallback to `costUsd`.
**Alternatives considered:** recomputing cache discounts server-side
from token counts (rejected: provider pricing tables drift and cache
billing rules are provider-specific; the adapter is the source of
truth).
## What Changed
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/types.ts`: added optional
`cacheAdjustedCostUsd?: number | null` to `AdapterExecutionResult`, with
a doc comment on adapter expectations
- `server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`: added exported
`resolveCacheAdjustedCostUsd()` (explicit cache-adjusted value wins when
a finite non-negative number; otherwise falls back to a finite
non-negative `costUsd`; otherwise `null`), and consistently uses the
resolved billed value for ledger cents, cost status, and run usage JSON
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-cost-accounting.test.ts`: added unit
coverage for explicit precedence, fallback, invalid values,
adjusted-only pricing, and discounted ledger billing
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-cost-accounting.test.ts` — 1 file, 7
tests passed
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck` — passed
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed
- GitHub Actions on head `dc9c3830bf694b9afb3b27c5c8c36bff38e7fdcb` —
all 26 checks clean/skipped; one unrelated E2E checkout-contention flake
passed on its single failed-job rerun
- Greptile review on the same head — 5/5 with zero unresolved threads
## Risks
- Low risk: the field is optional and additive; when absent, behavior
falls back to the existing `costUsd` path
- Ledger/usage JSON gains a new optional `cacheAdjustedCostUsd` key —
consumers that strictly validate keys would need to tolerate it (usage
JSON is already open-shaped)
- No migrations, no API-breaking changes

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators spend most of their time on the issue detail page. They
talk to the assigned agent there through comments.
> - The current page reads as a ticket form. The thread sits below
properties, the composer sits mid-page, and live agent activity renders
as dense transcript logs.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #49 (chat with agents is a much-wanted feature).
Related PRs found in the dedup search:
- #4489 — an earlier, closed attempt to promote the conversation to the
primary surface on issue detail. This PR is a fresh, flag-gated take on
the same goal.
- #8837 — an open PR that proposes a two-column task layout. It
restructures the same page but keeps the ticket paradigm; this PR is
orthogonal because it is opt-in and chat-first.
**Subsystem affected**
UI (issue detail page).
**Problem or motivation**
The issue detail page presents agent conversations as a ticket:
properties first, thread below, composer in the middle of the page, and
raw transcript noise during live runs. Users who mainly converse with
their agents must scroll past chrome to follow the conversation, and
live activity is hard to read.
**Proposed solution**
An opt-in chat-style view of the issue detail page, gated by a new
"Chat-Style Tasks" experiment toggle in Settings → Experimental. With
the flag on, the thread fills the center pane, the composer docks to the
bottom of the viewport, Properties / Plan / Artifacts become header
tabs, live turns show a status pill with the current tool action and
elapsed time, and settled turns collapse to a "Worked · N tools" summary
that expands into per-tool rows. With the flag off, nothing changes.
**Alternatives considered**
Restyling the existing layout in place (rejected: too disruptive without
an opt-out), and a separate chat page beside the issue page (rejected:
splits the task's single source of truth). A per-request lab page
(`/task-chat-lab`, dev-only) was kept for design iteration instead.
**Roadmap alignment**
ROADMAP.md "CEO Chat" wants lighter conversations that still resolve to
real work objects. This PR keeps the core task-and-comments model — it
only changes presentation, opt-in — so it does not duplicate that
planned work.
## What Changed
- New `enableTaskChatRedesign` instance setting, exposed as a
"Chat-Style Tasks" experiment card in Settings → Experimental (shared
feature catalog, validators, server instance-settings service, and UI
settings page).
- New `ui/src/components/task-chat/` component family: chat thread with
turn grouping, agent reply bubbles, live status pill, collapsible turn
summaries with per-tool rows, plan tab with a sticky CTA action bar,
inline interaction cards, per-request mode chips, and a bottom-docked
composer.
- A shared tool taxonomy (`tool-taxonomy.ts`) maps tool names to verbs
and icons; the status pill, tool rows, and the classic transcript view
all use it.
- A transcript adapter converts stored run logs into chat turns; it
dedupes tool-call updates by `toolUseId` so tool counts match the
expanded rows, and it keeps a tool row's first real name when later
generic updates arrive.
- Composer: posts on Cmd/Ctrl+Enter, supports image paste with
object-URL thumbnail previews (revoked on clear/unmount), and uploads
through the issue attachments route.
- `IssueDetail.tsx`: with the flag on, pane tabs move to the header bar,
the header is not sticky, and the chat fills the center; with the flag
off, the previous layout renders unchanged.
- Motion tokens for the new animations live in `ui/src/index.css` with a
`motion-tokens.ts` catalog and a test that keeps the two in sync (the
catalog now also covers the shared enter/exit/swap tokens that the
decision/quicklook block declares).
- A dev-only `/task-chat-lab` page with fixtures and a tweak panel for
motion tuning.
## Verification
- `pnpm typecheck` — clean across the workspace.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 CLEAN.
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run` — 3,344 of 3,345 tests pass locally. The
one failure is `IssueProperties.test.tsx` monitor-row time formatting,
which is timezone-sensitive: it also fails on unmodified `origin/master`
in a non-UTC timezone and passes with `TZ=UTC`. It is not related to
this change.
- `cd server && pnpm vitest run
src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts` — 21/21 pass (covers
the new setting).
- Manual: start the dev server, open Settings → Experimental, enable
"Chat-Style Tasks", and open any issue. The thread fills the page, the
composer docks to the bottom, and Properties / Plan / Artifacts appear
as header tabs. Assign an agent and comment to watch a live run: the
status pill shows the current tool action with elapsed time, and the
finished turn folds into a "Worked · N tools" summary. Disable the
toggle and confirm the classic page is unchanged.
- Visual snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated: per
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md`, "Per-change snapshot verification
demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)".
## Risks
- The flag-off path goes through the same `IssueDetail.tsx` file, so a
regression there would affect current users. Mitigation: the classic
markup renders through the same components as before behind explicit
flag conditionals, and the full UI suite passes.
- The transcript adapter interprets stored run-log formats, including
legacy entries without `toolUseId`. Malformed logs degrade to generic
tool rows rather than crashing.
- The new view changes no server behavior other than one additive
instance setting; it is additive and default-off. Overall risk with the
flag off is low.
## Model Used
- Claude (Anthropic), model id `claude-fable-5` (Claude Fable 5),
extended thinking enabled, agentic tool use (file editing, shell, test
execution) via Claude Code / Claude Agent SDK.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server signs decision specifications with an HMAC
> - PR #10010 made `PAPERCLIP_DECISION_SIGNING_SECRET` a hard startup
requirement
> - Existing installs do not have this new environment variable
> - Those installs now stop during startup
> - This pull request uses a secure persisted instance key when the
override is absent
> - The benefit is that existing installs start without new
configuration and decision signing remains fail-closed
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
After #10010, `startServer()` throws when
`PAPERCLIP_DECISION_SIGNING_SECRET` is unset or shorter than 32
characters. Existing installs without the new environment variable stop
at startup.
**Expected behavior**
The server starts without manual configuration. A new optional feature
must not add a required environment variable for existing installs.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Check out `master` at 9c1f8e7887.
2. Unset `PAPERCLIP_DECISION_SIGNING_SECRET`.
3. Start the server.
4. Observe that startup stops with a missing-secret error.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at 9c1f8e7887.
**Deployment mode**
All deployment modes are affected when the environment variable is
absent.
## What Changed
- Treat `PAPERCLIP_DECISION_SIGNING_SECRET` as an optional override.
- Generate a random per-instance key at
`<instance>/secrets/decision-signing.key` when the override is absent.
- Publish a complete first-time key with an atomic no-overwrite link so
concurrent server starts use one key.
- Repair permissive modes on process-owned secrets directories and
regular key files, reject planted symlinks or foreign-owned paths, and
fail startup if `0700`/`0600` cannot be enforced.
- Keep an explicitly configured secret shorter than 32 characters as a
startup error.
- Add startup, permission, planted-symlink, fail-closed verification,
and generated-key round-trip tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/decisions-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts` — 45 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit` — passed.
- Eight simultaneous resolver processes returned the same persisted key.
The secrets directory/key modes were `0700`/`0600`.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
## Risks
- Existing configured secrets remain unchanged.
- Removing a configured secret after a proposal makes the prior
signature fail verification. Restoring the secret restores verification.
- A restored secrets directory or key with unsafe permissions now fails
startup when the server cannot repair it to `0700`/`0600`; symlinks and
paths owned by another local user are rejected rather than trusted.
- The generated key uses an atomic hard link in the instance secrets
directory. An unsupported file system fails startup instead of replacing
an existing key.
- Existing installs that failed at startup did not sign decisions with a
missing key.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server can preserve eligible agent runs during a controlled hot
restart.
> - A path change moved restart state from the Paperclip home root to
the instance root.
> - A staged update can therefore make the old server and the new server
read different intent files.
> - The old server then drains live runs, while the new server can start
without a shutdown snapshot.
> - This pull request adds a correlated compatibility handoff and
records the live preflight set.
> - It also verifies the target process instance on Linux, macOS, and
Windows.
> - The benefit is complete and safe run classification across the path
upgrade.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue covers this defect.
**What happened?**
A staged hot restart can run an older server that reads
`hot-restart-intent.json` from the Paperclip home root and a new server
that writes the file under the instance root. The old server misses the
request and uses graceful drain. The new server later finds its marker
without a shutdown snapshot. Before this change, that state could
produce an empty loss list even when live runs existed before restart.
**Expected behavior**
The old server must receive the PID-targeted restart request at its
legacy path. The new server must correlate the legacy shutdown snapshot
with its instance-scoped request. Every run that was live during
preflight must appear as adopted, finalized while down, or lost. A
reused PID must not let a stale marker claim a different process
instance.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a server version from before the instance-root marker change.
2. Keep one or more local-agent heartbeat runs active.
3. Stage a current build and request a hot restart from that build.
4. Observe that the old server reads only the home-root path while the
staged build writes only the instance-root path.
5. Observe graceful drain and a new-server intent that has no shutdown
snapshot.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The path transition entered `master` in #10045. The hot-restart adoption
flow came from #9647. This fix targets current `master` and
compatibility with the immediately preceding home-root behavior.
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted server built from source with controlled service hot
restarts.
Related work: #9628 is the original broader hot-restart feature PR.
#10556 addresses embedded PostgreSQL lifecycle behavior and does not
address marker-path compatibility.
## What Changed
- Write an authoritative instance-scoped intent and a correlated legacy
home-root handoff marker.
- Merge a legacy shutdown snapshot only when immutable request identity
fields match.
- Prevent a non-default instance from consuming an uncorrelated
legacy-only marker.
- Record preflight running heartbeat IDs and reconcile snapshot
omissions from current database state.
- Serialize marker claims, snapshot writes, stale recovery, and matching
cleanup with recoverable per-path filesystem leases.
- Read process start identity on Linux, macOS, and Windows to
distinguish a reused PID from the original server.
- Require identity for new restart requests and fail closed when a
supported platform cannot provide it.
- Classify older markers by comparing the replacement server boot time
or operating-system process start time with the request time.
- Close the preflight database client explicitly and use a root-safe SQL
query.
- Add focused unit, platform-branch, database-backed, and CI regression
coverage.
- Document the compatibility handoff, process identity probes, and
instance-scoped report path.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/services/hot-restart.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts -t
"hot-restart|old-server legacy|preflight live|preflight run|spawn
identity before hot restart"` — 24 tests passed and 90 tests were
skipped across 2 files.
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/services/hot-restart.test.ts` — 17
tests passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-watchdogs-routes.test.ts -t "restarts a
stalled claimed run"` — 1 test passed and 10 tests were skipped.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/agent-action-audit-routes.test.ts -t "allows an
agent with issue:delegate"` — 1 test passed and 7 tests were skipped.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
- GitHub Actions — 26 of 26 checks passed at
`55a79cb029be8b1dc89926d9d89ccd2181266d5c`.
- Greptile — 5/5 at the same head with no unresolved current-head review
threads.
## Risks
- The legacy handoff path is shared across instances. Exclusive claims
and per-path leases prevent overwrite and match-before-delete races.
- Process identity uses platform commands as a fallback when the health
endpoint has no identity. Linux reads `/proc`, macOS and BSD use `ps`,
and Windows uses PowerShell.
- A supported-platform identity probe failure aborts the restart. This
fails closed instead of replacing an unknown live process.
- Older intent files do not contain process identity. The server
compares the replacement boot or process start time with the request
time when those values are available.
- A preflight database read can fail before the marker is written. The
command fails closed instead of claiming a restart whose live-run set is
unknown.

context-window size were not exposed by this runtime. Reasoning,
repository editing, shell execution, test execution, GitHub CLI, and
Paperclip API capabilities were enabled.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents can currently perform many mutations directly, while humans
often need a durable review point before cross-issue or destructive
actions occur
> - Existing approvals and issue-thread interactions do not provide a
standalone, reusable object for presenting options, collecting typed
inputs, detecting stale targets, and auditing effect execution
> - The control plane therefore needs a first-class propose mode that
separates an agent's recommendation from the governed mutation it may
cause
> - This pull request adds Decisions v1 across the database, shared
contracts, server execution and telemetry, agent skill guidance, and
operator UI
> - The benefit is that agents can propose multi-option actions safely
while operators get explicit provenance, fail-closed execution,
per-effect results, and a focused attention workflow
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Subsystem affected
Cross-cutting: `packages/db`, `packages/shared`, `server`, and `ui`.
### Problem or motivation
Agents need a governed way to propose consequential work without
immediately mutating issues, especially when one choice can affect
several issue trees. Existing approvals and issue-thread interactions do
not provide a standalone object with typed options, target snapshots,
effect-level authorization, expiration, execution outcomes, and reusable
attention-feed presentation.
### Proposed solution
Add first-class Decisions that store options and typed inputs, surface
open proposals in the operator attention feed, validate target freshness
and the origin-agent/operator authorization intersection at decision
time, execute a bounded set of auditable effects, and retain terminal
outcomes. Decisions v1 supports comments, status and assignee changes,
follow-up issue creation, blocker resolution, and issue-tree
cancellation, plus bundle grouping, expiration/dismissal, rule-key
telemetry, and agent-facing API guidance.
### Alternatives considered
- Extend approvals with arbitrary effects: rejected because approvals
represent governed yes/no actions and would become an unsafe generic
mutation envelope.
- Model every proposal as an issue-thread interaction: rejected because
decisions can span several targets and need independent lifecycle,
telemetry, idempotency, and effect results.
- Let agents perform the mutation and ask for retrospective review:
rejected because it removes the pre-execution governance boundary this
feature is meant to provide.
### Roadmap alignment
Aligns with `ROADMAP.md` sections **Agent Reviews and Approvals**,
**Enforced Outcomes**, **MCP Tool Gateway & Apps (governed tool
access)**, and **Activity History** by making explicit decisions,
authorization gates, auditable execution, and terminal outcomes
first-class control-plane objects.
### Additional context
This does not replace existing approvals or issue-thread interactions,
and it does not add an unrestricted generic mutation effect.
## What Changed
- Added company-scoped decision, option, target, and effect-execution
schema plus migration and shared TypeScript/Zod contracts.
- Added decision routes and services for propose, list/get, decide,
dismiss, cancel, target freshness checks, authorization intersection,
idempotency, activity logging, and execution auditing.
- Added rule-key decision telemetry and attention-feed metadata so open
decisions are visible and measurable.
- Added agent skill documentation for proposing and resolving decisions
through the Paperclip API.
- Added the Decisions UI: API client, query keys, inline attention
resolver, bundle grouping, target-issue strip, terminal history,
destructive confirmation, and per-effect result rendering.
- Added server service coverage, DecisionCard state tests, and Storybook
stories for the supported visual states.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm test:run` — 2,876 passed, 1 skipped, with one unrelated
cross-suite cleanup-order failure in
`heartbeat-responsible-user-invariant.test.ts`; the failing file passes
in isolation (`6/6`).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-responsible-user-invariant.test.ts` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/DecisionCard.test.tsx` — passed (`9/9`).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/authz-existence-oracle-guard.test.ts
src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts` — passed (`5/5`).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/decisions-service.test.ts` — passed (`16/16`).
- `pnpm --filter paperclipai exec vitest run
src/__tests__/company-import-export-e2e.test.ts` — passed (`1/1`).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` and `pnpm --filter
paperclipai typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- Rebased-head focused suite — passed (`6` files, `88` tests): shared
decision contracts, Decisions service, OpenAPI routes, startup feedback
export, DecisionCard states, and attention helpers. The follow-up
stale-secondary-target regression passes in the DecisionCard suite
(`10/10`).
- Rebased-head scoped typechecks — passed for `@paperclipai/shared`,
`@paperclipai/db`, `@paperclipai/server`, and `@paperclipai/ui`.
- Rebased-head migration numbering and safety checks — passed after
renumbering the additive migration to `0193` and making it replay-safe
for environments that applied the earlier feature-branch number.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed with all gates clean.
- GitHub PR workflow and Greptile review for
`1f9f7645882d05dfdd9c99377c03a1f53f20e8be` — running after the
stale-secondary-target fix and PR metadata refresh on July 27, 2026.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build-storybook` exposes an existing
Storybook version mismatch (`storybook` 10.4.6 vs
`@storybook/addon-docs` 10.5.0); Decisions stories were validated with
the docs addon temporarily disabled and the tracked config remains
unchanged.
## Risks
- **Migration:** Adds replay-safe migration `0193`; migration numbering
and safety checks pass. The new tables and indexes are additive.
- **Authorization:** Effect execution intersects the proposing agent's
permissions with the responsible user context and fails closed; mistakes
could reject a valid proposal rather than silently over-authorize it.
- **Concurrency:** Target snapshots and idempotency keys protect against
stale or duplicate execution, but reviewers should focus on mixed-effect
partial outcomes and retry behavior.
- **UI:** Decisions are integrated into the existing attention feed
rather than a separate navigation surface, reducing routing risk but
increasing the importance of attention-item metadata compatibility.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Operators need an audit record of agent actions across tasks,
comments, documents, approvals, and runs
> - The permission-gated audit read API provides that record, but
operators cannot inspect it in the product
> - A readable UI must preserve company boundaries, server-side
permission decisions, and redaction
> - Audit exports must also be safe to open in spreadsheet software and
must record the export itself
> - This pull request adds company and per-agent audit views plus a
guarded CSV export
> - The benefit is a searchable, filterable, and reviewable agent action
history with direct links back to work
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Feature.** This change adds the frontend and CSV export for the agent
action audit log.
Refs #9731 and #9735.
- Problem: agent actions are recorded, but operators have no readable
product surface to inspect or export them.
- Solution: add a company audit page and a per-agent Audit tab that use
the permission-gated audit API.
- Alternative: build a separate plugin-only surface. This was rejected
because the existing permission model already supports a unified,
server-authoritative view.
This pull request targets the audit epic branch, which contains the
merged #9735 audit API.
## What Changed
- Added a company Audit page and sidebar entry.
- Added a per-agent Audit tab with a fixed agent filter.
- Added filters for agent, responsible user, action domain, entity type,
and date range.
- Added task and run links, responsible-user context, cursor pagination,
and readable action text.
- Added a permission-denied Enterprise card for callers without
`audit:view_agent_actions`.
- Added a CSV export that is permission-gated, capped, self-audited,
CSV-escaped, and protected against spreadsheet formula injection.
- Preserved the merged audit API cursor validation, redaction, and
sub-millisecond pagination behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/pages/audit/AuditFeed.test.tsx` — 6
passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/agent-action-audit-routes.test.ts` — 8 passed with
embedded PostgreSQL.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed across all workspaces.
- `pnpm build` — passed across all workspaces.
- `pnpm test:run` — all completed shards passed except one
environment-sensitive CLI assertion caused by injected static AWS
credential variables; the exact test passes 8/8 with those variables
unset.
- Manual Chromium QA exercised the populated feed, active filters,
permission-denied card, per-agent tab, and CSV export.
## Screenshots and Manual QA
- [All audit states exercised in
Chromium](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/9744#issuecomment-4998997001)
- [Detailed browser report and per-agent tab root
cause](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/9744#issuecomment-4998771061)
The per-agent redirect defect found during QA is fixed in this branch.
## Risks
Low to moderate risk. The UI and export route are additive and use the
existing company-scoped permission gate. The main risks are large
exports and spreadsheet interpretation. The export is capped at 10,000
rows, records truncation accurately, and prefixes formula-like cells as
text. There are no schema changes or migrations.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Execution workspaces can inherit runtime services from a project
workspace
> - A project workspace keeps current and historical runtime service
rows
> - The execution workspace read path returned all current rows,
including services removed from the current configuration
> - This pull request matches inherited rows to the current service
definitions
> - The benefit is bounded workspace payloads and accurate service
summaries
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Shared execution workspaces returned current historical service rows
that no longer matched the project workspace configuration. The response
size multiplied across every shared execution workspace.
**Expected behavior**
Shared execution workspaces must return only the newest runtime service
row for each service in the current project workspace configuration.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create one project workspace with many historical runtime service
rows.
2. Create many shared execution workspaces that inherit that project
workspace.
3. List the execution workspaces and inspect each `runtimeServices`
array.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`7301fae942c3d5826974335cb40d6f1e0d95d1e0`
**Deployment mode**
Built from source. The defect is in the server read model and is not
deployment-specific.
No duplicate or related public issue or pull request was found.
## What Changed
- Select only runtime service rows that match the current project
workspace service definitions.
- Preserve each matched service definition index in the API result.
- Avoid loading direct execution service rows for workspaces that
inherit project services.
- Add unit, integration, and volume regression coverage.
## Verification
- `pnpm --dir server exec vitest run
src/services/workspace-runtime-read-model.test.ts
src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts -t
'selectConfiguredRuntimeServiceRows|returns full details at the observed
volume|inherits only runtime-service rows'`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
The focused test run passed 4 tests and skipped 27 unrelated tests.
## Risks
The read path now omits service rows that do not match the current
configuration. This is the intended behavior for inherited runtime
services. The change does not alter service persistence or lifecycle
transitions.

## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with model ID `gpt-5`. The context-window size is not
exposed to this run. The run used reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and GitHub tools.

## Thinking Path

work
> - Local agent wakes include a default execution contract
> - That contract tells agents how issue-thread continuation policies
behave
> - The current text says `wake_assignee` resumes a confirmation only
after acceptance

reserves acceptance-only behavior for `wake_assignee_on_accept`
> - This pull request makes the default prompt match the server contract
and strengthens the recovery follow-up regression case

and recovery tests cover normalized agent name keys
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related work: Refs #5473, Refs #5060, and Refs #10562.
**What happened?**
The default local-agent prompt described `wake_assignee` as
acceptance-only for `request_confirmation`. This conflicts with the
server. The server wakes on every non-expired resolution. A recovery
follow-up test also used an already-normalized execution agent name key,
so it did not exercise the normalization seam.
**Expected behavior**
The prompt must state that `wake_assignee` resumes after acceptance or
rejection. It must direct acceptance-only flows to
`wake_assignee_on_accept`. The recovery regression must use a
display-style agent name key and prove that the follow-up path still
works after normalization.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Read the default local-agent prompt in
`packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.ts`.
2. Compare its confirmation continuation text with
`queueResolvedInteractionContinuationWakeup` in
`server/src/routes/issues.ts`.
3. Observe that the prompt gives acceptance-only semantics to
`wake_assignee`.
4. Inspect the recovery hand-back test and observe that its execution
name key is already normalized.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`7301fae942`
**Deployment mode**
Local dev. The prompt and test behavior are not deployment-specific.
## What Changed
- Corrected the default agent prompt for `wake_assignee` and
`wake_assignee_on_accept`.
- Added focused prompt assertions for both the required and obsolete
text.
- Changed the recovery follow-up fixture to use a display-style agent
name key.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts
-t 'keeps the default local-agent prompt action-oriented'` passed: 1
test.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-comment-wake-batching.test.ts -t 'defers
recovery hand-back wakes until the resolving run exits'` passed: 1 test.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passed.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` passed.
## Risks
- Low risk. The production change updates prompt text only.
- Agents that followed the old text may now choose
`wake_assignee_on_accept` for acceptance-only flows.
- The server test change only broadens an existing regression fixture.

approved vocabulary, and the active voice. -->
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents update tasks through the issue API.
> - The update response did not state which values changed.
> - Blocker updates also did not echo the scalar blocker IDs.
> - Agents therefore used an extra GET request to confirm a successful
write.
> - This pull request adds an authoritative change receipt and an
optional small response.
> - The benefit is fewer API calls with a clear and compatible write
contract.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this change.
### Subsystem affected
Cross-cutting: `server/`, `packages/shared`, and the UI issue cache.
### Problem or motivation
A successful issue PATCH returned the updated issue, but it did not
identify the effective changes. Blocker writes returned relation
summaries without the scalar IDs. Agents could not distinguish a
confirmed clear operation from missing data. The response must confirm
committed field and blocker changes while existing UI clients continue
to receive the full issue by default.
### Proposed solution
Add a `changes` receipt. Add a conditional `blockedByIssueIds` echo.
Support `Prefer: return=minimal`. Keep the full response as the default.
### Alternatives considered
Make the small response the default for agent tokens. This would create
different response contracts by actor type, so this pull request does
not use that design.
### Roadmap alignment
This is a focused control-plane reliability improvement. It does not
duplicate an open roadmap milestone.
## What Changed
- Compute committed issue row and relation changes in the issue service.
- Omit no-op fields and truncate changed long text values to 200
characters.
- Echo blocker ID arrays for blocker set and clear requests.
- Add the opt-in `Prefer: return=minimal` response and
`Preference-Applied` header.
- Keep receipt metadata out of React Query issue caches.
- Add route and embedded Postgres tests for the new contract.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-activity-events-routes.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts -t
"returns authoritative update receipts for row fields and blocker
relations"`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `git diff --check`
## Risks
- Low compatibility risk. The default response only adds receipt fields.
- Minimal mode is opt-in. Existing clients do not receive a smaller
body.
- The receipt excludes `updatedAt` because the response already returns
it as the freshness anchor.
- Prose API and agent workflow guidance will follow after the server
contract is available.

size, and reasoning mode are not exposed to the agent. The agent used

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies
> - Operators need a predictable installation path that survives beyond
an ephemeral `npx` process
> - A durable installation needs an owned per-user payload store, stable
command shim, safe shell integration, and supported service lifecycle
> - Updates must preserve recoverability by backing up data, installing
side-by-side, verifying the new payload, and retaining rollback state
> - Bootstrap scripts and privileged service operations must fail closed
across download, filesystem, ownership, and consent boundaries
> - This pull request integrates managed install, update, rollback,
service, uninstall, doctor, bootstrap-installer, and runtime-serving
support into one workflow
> - The benefit is a recoverable, inspectable, and documented
installation lifecycle with explicit safety boundaries across Linux,
macOS, containers, WSL, npm, npx, and source checkouts
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Problem
Paperclip lacks a first-class durable installation and lifecycle
workflow. Operators currently have to assemble npm/npx installation,
PATH setup, background-service management, updates, rollback,
diagnostics, and uninstall behavior themselves. That makes upgrades
harder to recover, creates inconsistent behavior across platforms, and
leaves shell/download/service trust boundaries without one documented
implementation.
### Proposed Solution
Add a managed per-user install store and stable shim, a verified shell
bootstrap installer, service lifecycle commands, install-mode-aware
update/rollback behavior, doctor checks, and documentation. Managed
updates back up the database, install and smoke-test a side-by-side
payload, atomically switch `current`, and retain prior payloads. The
shell installer pins registry/download trust boundaries and requires
explicit consent for non-interactive privileged actions.
### Alternatives Considered
- Keep recommending `npx`: simple for evaluation, but ephemeral and
unsuitable for stable services, atomic updates, or rollback.
- Require global npm installation only: familiar, but cannot provide the
owned side-by-side payload store and retained rollback semantics.
- Split the capability across multiple PRs: rejected because install,
update, service, uninstall, bootstrap, and serving behavior share
contracts and security boundaries that need review together.
### Related Pull Requests
- Supersedes #10042 and #10044 with one integrated final diff.
- Incorporates and replaces the closed preparatory work in #10032 and
#10034.
## What Changed
- Added `paperclipai install`, `update`/`upgrade`, rollback, uninstall,
service lifecycle, onboarding integration, and managed-install doctor
checks.
- Added a private managed payload store, verified manifest/marker
ownership, exclusive mutation locks, atomic manifest/current/shim
writes, retained previous payloads, and provenance validation.
- Added npm and GitHub-ref install sources with exact target resolution,
registry isolation, database backup, side-by-side verification, atomic
activation, service restart coordination, and failure rollback.
- Made managed-update backups report actionable service-start and
`--no-backup` recovery guidance for unreachable databases, while clean
never-onboarded instances skip an empty backup.
- Added systemd user and launchd service definitions, status/health/log
commands, single-instance coordination, stale-port recovery, and
explicit sudo/lingering consent handling.
- Added the `scripts/install.sh` bootstrap path with checked two-stage
downloads, pinned public npm registry usage, platform checks,
dry-run/non-interactive controls, and Docker fixtures.
- Added embedded Postgres/native bootstrap integration,
hot-restart/systemd-notify serving support, passive update notices,
configuration contracts, README/CLI/install documentation, and focused
regression tests.
- Security re-review should explicitly re-verify: (1)
`addManagedPathBlock`/`removeManagedPathBlock` reject symlinked or
non-regular rc files, assert current-user ownership, preserve
restrictive modes, and replace atomically; (2) managed shim replacement
rejects unsafe parents, foreign-owned or multiply linked files, and uses
checked atomic replacement; (3) the shell installer and sudo path
preserve explicit consent and checked downloads; and (4) installed
service/runtime serving remains bound to the validated managed shim and
instance configuration.
## Verification
- `bash -n scripts/install.sh scripts/clean-install-git.sh
scripts/clean-install-npm.sh scripts/test-install-sh-docker.sh`
- `pnpm exec vitest run cli/src/__tests__/install-store.test.ts

cli/src/__tests__/service-manager.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/update-command.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/update-notice.test.ts
packages/db/src/embedded-postgres-native.test.ts` — 9 files, 66 tests
passed
- `pnpm --dir cli typecheck`
- `pnpm --dir cli build`
- Follow-up verification: `pnpm exec vitest run
cli/src/__tests__/update-command.test.ts` (14/14), `pnpm --dir cli
typecheck`, `pnpm --dir cli build`, and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck`.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- Full `pnpm test:run` exercised all suites; an injected static AWS
credential changed one unrelated doctor expectation, which passed when
those credentials were removed. A second run cleared that case and
exposed stale pre-existing adapter-utils `dist` output; rebuilding
`@paperclipai/adapter-utils` made the isolated test pass. The updated PR
CI is the authoritative clean-workspace full-suite run.
## Risks
- Installer/update code writes executable shims, symlinks, shell rc
blocks, service definitions, and managed payloads; ownership,
regular-file, symlink, hard-link, marker, and path-containment checks
fail closed before destructive changes.
- The bootstrap installer executes downloaded tooling; downloads are
staged and checked before execution, npm traffic is pinned to the public
registry, and non-interactive privileged behavior requires explicit
consent.
- Linux lingering may invoke `sudo`; the command is surfaced and
confirmed before execution, and unsupported service managers fall back
to foreground-run guidance.
- Database migrations remain forward-only; payload rollback does not
reverse migrations, so managed updates create a backup before activation
unless explicitly disabled.
- Service restart and runtime serving touch process/port ownership;
lifecycle locks, health/version checks, and stable-shim service
definitions reduce split-brain and stale-process risk.

The Decisions queue ran five parallel colour/icon vocabularies chosen by
source kind, plus a separate severity badge, so two rows needing the same
response could look unrelated and none of it matched the task list.
Every row now resolves to one of two kinds, each borrowing the task status
it corresponds to: blocking renders as `blocked`, review as `in_review`,
both through StatusGlyph and the existing --status-task-icon-* tokens.
Source kinds keep their own wording; only colour and icon merge.
Card anatomy follows the design mock: no left accent rail, rounded cards
16px apart, a "/"-separated meta breadcrumb, a named See more / See less
control, and no separately tinted drawer when expanded. Verb order is
fixed across both states. Severity moves from chrome to a toolbar filter.
Four defects fixed along the way:
- blocked rows reported themselves as their own blocker (server-side)
- the task key was missing wherever the row's subject IS the task
- the task quicklook stuck open, because closing handed focus back to a
trigger that opens on focus
- the card ring appeared on click, and only on cards with a toggle
Also: the standard task preview is aligned to its trigger's text and
scales out of it, the task eyebrow renders its project as a tile, and the
first motion tokens land alongside the disclosure and crossfade.
Supersedes #9574 and #9575.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Codex agents can run inside sandbox environments, and operators can
bake a Codex login into the sandbox image during interactive image setup
> - Two credential gates (the control plane's pre-dispatch
configuration-incomplete gate and the adapter's execute-time fail-fast)
required host-side Codex credentials — a usable `auth.json` in the
managed home or a configured `OPENAI_API_KEY` — regardless of where the
run executes
> - On managed cloud hosts a local Codex login never exists, so every
sandbox run of a Codex agent failed immediately with "configuration
incomplete: no Codex credentials available for managed home …", even
though the adapter's inbound auth merge already supports the image-login
case end to end
> - This pull request makes the execute-time gate probe the sandbox for
its own `~/.codex/auth.json` before failing, and exempts
sandbox-destined runs from the pre-dispatch host check
> - The benefit is that a sandbox image signed in to Codex is a
first-class credential source, matching what the auth-merge,
precedence-warning, and copy-back machinery were already built for
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Running a `codex_local` agent in a sandbox environment whose image
carries a Codex login failed instantly with `configuration incomplete:
no Codex credentials available for managed home "…/codex-home". Sign in
to Codex on the host with a ChatGPT subscription, or bind a per-agent
OPENAI_API_KEY secret for this agent.` The host has no Codex login and
never will on a managed cloud deployment; the sandbox's own login was
never consulted.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Configure a sandbox environment and capture a custom image after
signing in to Codex inside the interactive image setup.
2. Create a `codex_local` agent that uses that environment, on a host
with no Codex login and no `OPENAI_API_KEY` bound.
3. Start a run: it fails pre-dispatch with the configuration-incomplete
blocker above.
**Expected behavior**
The run launches and Codex authenticates with the sandbox image's own
login, the same way the adapter's host↔sandbox auth merge already keeps
the sandbox credential when the host ships none. A run should only fail
fast when neither the host, a bound `OPENAI_API_KEY`, nor the sandbox
has credentials.
**Paperclip version**
Current `master` (cloud image deployments).
**Deployment mode**
Managed cloud stacks (any deployment where the server host has no local
Codex login).
## What Changed
- Extracted the adapter's execute-time gate into
`assertCodexCredentialsLaunchable`: when host readiness fails and the
target is a sandbox, it probes `~/.codex/auth.json` in the sandbox (same
command the auth-precedence warning uses) and proceeds with a log line
naming the credential source; when the sandbox has no login either, the
error now names all three remediation options (sandbox image sign-in,
per-agent `OPENAI_API_KEY`, host sign-in). Non-sandbox targets keep
today's strict behavior byte-for-byte.
- The control plane's pre-dispatch gate in
`resolveExecutionRunAdapterConfig` now takes the selected environment's
driver and skips the host-credential check for sandbox-destined runs —
only the adapter can probe the sandbox once it is up, so the
execute-time gate is the authority there. Non-sandbox runs keep the
early, well-attributed configuration-incomplete blocker.
- The codex Test flow needed no change: it already seeds host
credentials only when they exist and otherwise leaves the sandbox's
`CODEX_HOME` alone; this aligns the run path with it.
## Verification
- `cd packages/adapters/codex-local && pnpm vitest run` — 210 tests,
including new gate cases: sandbox login present (proceeds + logs
source), sandbox and host both credential-less (fails with the extended
message), non-sandbox target (strict host requirement kept, no sandbox
probe), per-agent API key (no probe at all).
- `cd server && pnpm vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-project-env.test.ts
src/__tests__/codex-local-adapter-environment.test.ts` — includes the
new sandbox-exemption case next to the existing blocker tests.
- `pnpm run typecheck` in `server` and `packages/adapters/codex-local`.
## Risks
- Sandbox-destined misconfigurations (no credentials anywhere) now
surface at adapter execute time instead of pre-dispatch, so they read as
an adapter failure with a precise message rather than a
configuration-incomplete blocker. The trade-off is deliberate: the
sandbox must be up to know whether credentials exist, and the failure
message names the exact remediations.
- The sandbox probe adds one short (5s-capped) shell command to sandbox
runs whose host has no credentials; runs with host credentials or a
bound key are untouched.
- Self-hosted behavior is unchanged for local and SSH targets.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip coordinates AI agents through scheduled heartbeat runs.
> - The heartbeat scheduler can call `tickTimers()` again before an
earlier tick has finished.
> - Each overlapping tick can read the same old `lastHeartbeatAt` value
and decide that the same agent is due.
> - The existing queue checks do not make that due-time decision atomic.
> - This pull request atomically advances the timer baseline before it
enqueues the wake.
> - The benefit is that one timer interval can create at most one
scheduled run for an agent.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue describes this exact scheduler race. Related pull
requests address active-run overlap or queued-run buildup, but they do
not atomically claim a due timer interval: #9457, #8416, and #3858.
**What happened?**
Two overlapping calls to `tickTimers()` could both read the same due
timer baseline. Both calls could enqueue a timer run for the same agent
and interval.
**Expected behavior**
Only one scheduler tick must claim a due timer interval. A second
overlapping tick must observe that the interval was already claimed and
skip it.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create an active agent with a 60-second timer interval.
2. Set `lastHeartbeatAt` to more than 60 seconds in the past.
3. Call `tickTimers(now)` twice with `Promise.all()`.
4. Observe that the old code can enqueue two runs for the same interval.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced on `master` before this branch.
**Deployment mode**
Local development with embedded PostgreSQL.
## What Changed
- Added an atomic conditional update that claims a due timer interval by
advancing `lastHeartbeatAt`.
- Made `tickTimers()` enqueue only after that conditional update
succeeds.
- Preserved first-heartbeat telemetry when the timer claim advances
`lastHeartbeatAt` before run completion.
- Added regression tests for concurrent claims and first-heartbeat
telemetry.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-stale-queue-invalidation.test.ts` — 24 tests
passed on the final rebased commit.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts -t "preserves
first-heartbeat telemetry after a timer interval claim|tracks the first
heartbeat with the agent role"` — 2 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed after the
review fix.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- `pnpm test:run` — 3,121 tests passed and 2 tests skipped. One
unrelated runtime-skills test exceeded its 5-second limit under
full-suite load.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-runtime-skills.test.ts` — the timed-out file
passed in isolation, 2 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db exec vitest run
src/status-card-migrations.test.ts` — the unrelated CI timeout passed in
isolation.
- The full PR CI matrix passed after one rerun of that unrelated
timeout.
- Greptile passed with zero new comments and no unresolved review
threads.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change only affects due timer claims.
- If enqueue fails after the claim, the next timer attempt waits for one
interval. This is safer than duplicate agent execution.
- No schema, migration, API, UI, or dependency changes are included.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Environment configs (sandbox providers, SSH) can bind stored company
secrets through `format: "secret-ref"` fields, picked in the environment
editor's secret picker
> - Environments are instance-scoped and shared by every company on an
instance, but the picker lists only the current company's secrets, so a
ref pointing at another company's secret renders as "Missing secret (…)"
in destructive styling
> - That state is indistinguishable from a genuinely deleted secret, so
operators "fix" a healthy binding by creating a duplicate secret in
their own company — the exact sequence that used to corrupt bindings
before #10576
> - This pull request adds an instance-gated metadata endpoint for an
environment's secret refs and teaches the picker to name a cross-company
secret and its owner honestly
> - The benefit is that operators can tell a healthy cross-company
binding from a broken one, and stop creating duplicate secrets
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
In the environment editor, a secret-ref field that points at a secret
owned by a different company shows "Missing secret (22095402…)" in red,
with "The previously selected secret is no longer available. Pick
another or remove the binding." The binding is actually healthy — the
current company's picker just cannot list the other company's secrets.
Operators react by creating a duplicate secret and re-pointing the
field.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
The editor should know the referenced secret's name, status, and owning
company (metadata only, never the value) and present a cross-company ref
neutrally, a deleted secret as deleted, and only an unknown id as
missing.
Related: #10576 (fixes the binding corruption this UI state used to
trigger).
## What Changed
- New `GET /environments/:id/secret-refs` returns `{ refs: [{
configPath, secretId, name, status, companyId, companyName }] }` for the
environment's config-derived secret refs. Values are never returned. The
route sits behind `assertCanAccessInstanceEnvironments`, the same gate
as environment editing.
- New `secretService.describeSecretRefs` loads that metadata across
companies; unknown ids are omitted.
- `SecretBindingPicker` reads an optional `SecretRefHintsContext` (keyed
by secret id). With a hint, a ref the company list cannot show renders
as `NAME — Owning Company` with neutral styling and the note "Owned by
the … company. The binding keeps working; selecting a secret from this
list re-points it here." A hint with `status: "deleted"` reports the
secret as deleted. Without hints, behavior is byte-identical to before —
agent editors and other picker users are unaffected.
- `CompanyEnvironments` fetches descriptors for the environment being
edited and provides them through the context.
## Verification
- `cd server && pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/secrets-service.test.ts` — new endpoint happy path, agent
403 (descriptors never computed), and embedded-Postgres coverage proving
cross-company names resolve and unknown ids drop out.
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run src/components/SecretBindingPicker.test.tsx
src/components/JsonSchemaForm.test.tsx
src/pages/CompanyEnvironments.test.tsx` — hinted cross-company
rendering, hinted deleted secret, and unchanged no-hint fallback.
- `pnpm run typecheck` in `server` and `ui`.
- Manual: edit an environment whose secret-ref field references another
company's secret; the field names the secret and its owning company
instead of "Missing secret".
## Risks
- The endpoint exposes secret names and company names across companies
to instance-level environment editors. Those actors already manage
instance-shared environments (and instance admins are implicit members
of every company), so this reveals no secret material and no new reach;
the service method documents that callers must sit behind an
instance-level gate.
- UI change is additive and context-gated; pickers without a provider
render exactly as before.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents can run inside environments (SSH boxes, sandbox providers); a
sandbox environment's config can reference stored company secrets (for
example a provider API key) through `format: "secret-ref"` fields
> - Environments are instance-scoped and shared by every company on an
instance, but `company_secret_bindings` rows are company-scoped, and the
environment routes synced config-derived bindings under one guessed
"context company" resolved from the environment's existing bindings
> - When a save re-pointed a secret-ref field at a secret owned by a
different company, the binding sync threw after the config row had
already been persisted: the config referenced the new secret, the
binding still pointed at the old one, every later lease acquisition
failed with `Secret is not bound to environment:<id> at apiKey`, and the
stale cross-company binding made every later save fail with a
company-context conflict — with no route-level way to recover
> - This pull request makes config-derived bindings follow the company
that owns each referenced secret, and makes the environment write and
its binding syncs atomic
> - The benefit is that environment saves can no longer strand an
environment in a half-updated state that breaks all of its runs
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #10577 (companion UX change: the editor state that nudges operators
into this sequence).
**What happened?**
Saving an environment whose secret-ref config field points at a secret
owned by a different company than the environment's existing binding
partially applied: the config row updated, the binding sync failed
server-side, and the environment was left referencing a secret it has no
binding for. Every run that leased the environment then failed with
`lease_acquire_failed: ... Secret is not bound to environment:<id> at
apiKey`, and every later save of the environment returned 409
`Environment secret bindings already use a different company context.` —
with no route-level way to recover.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. On an instance with two companies, create a sandbox environment from
company A with a picker-bound API-key secret owned by A (the binding
lands in A).
2. From company B, create a new secret and re-point the environment's
API-key field at it, then save.
3. The save persists the config but the binding sync throws, so no
binding for B's secret exists.
4. Run any agent that uses the environment, or try to save the
environment again.
**Expected behavior**
The save either fully applies (config and bindings consistent) or fully
fails. Re-pointing a config secret ref to a secret owned by another
company moves the binding with the secret.
**Paperclip version**
Reproduced on current `master` (also present on recent release images).
**Deployment mode**
Multi-company server deployment (any mode with more than one company on
the instance).
## What Changed
- New `secretService.replaceSecretRefsForInstanceTarget`: writes each
config-derived binding under the company that owns the referenced
secret, replaces all non-`env.*` bindings of the target across every
company, and validates every ref (secret exists, not deleted,
config-path and projection-class rules) before any row is written.
`env.*` env-var bindings stay company-scoped and untouched.
- The environment create and update routes now run the environment write
and its binding syncs inside one `db.transaction`, threading the
transaction through new optional executor seams on
`environmentService.create/update` and the existing `SecretBindingDb`
seam pattern, so an invalid ref rolls the whole save back instead of
leaving a half-updated environment.
- `resolveEnvironmentSecretContextCompanyId` no longer lets existing
bindings veto the caller's context (the 409s above); it now only picks
where new raw-pasted secrets are created and how env-var bindings and
probes resolve: explicit route/query company first, then the single
company the bindings live in, then the actor's company.
## Verification
- `cd server && pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/environment-instance-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/secrets-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/environment-custom-image-routes.test.ts` (165 tests,
includes new coverage below)
- New embedded-Postgres tests prove: a re-point moves the binding to the
new secret's company and deletes the stale row; refs across several
companies each bind under their own secret's company; an unknown secret
ref rejects without touching existing bindings; `env.*` rows survive
config-ref replacement.
- New route tests prove: a cross-company re-point that previously 409'd
now saves, with the update and binding replacement on the same
transaction executor; a failing ref surfaces as 422.
- `cd server && pnpm run typecheck`
## Risks
- Behavioral shift: environment saves no longer 409 on a company-context
mismatch between the caller and existing bindings; bindings follow the
referenced secret's company instead. Environment routes are
instance-admin gated, and instance admins already had access to every
company's secrets by passing the company explicitly, so this removes an
ordering trap rather than widening access.
- Runtime lease resolution is unchanged: a run still resolves
environment secrets under the run's own company, so an environment
referencing company B's secret still only leases for company B runs
(fail-closed as before).
- The delete route's per-company binding cleanup is unchanged.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Each agent task gets an execution workspace (a git worktree) with a
recorded branch name; workspace validation compares that record to the
worktree before every run
> - Agents sometimes rename their task branch (for example to a `feat/*`
PR branch), so the recorded branch never existed or was deleted
> - Validation then fails every run with "expected branch does not
exist" — a deterministic `workspace_validation_failed` loop with no
self-heal path
> - A recorded branch with no resolvable commit has nothing to lose, so
adopting a clean, registered checked-out branch is trivially
forward-only
> - This pull request routes that exact case through the existing
audited forward-reconciliation path, in both the runtime and the manual
board reconcile endpoint
> - The benefit is that these stranded workspaces heal themselves while
dirty worktrees, detached HEADs, unregistered paths, and ambiguous git
states all stay fail-closed
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists; the underlying bug is described here per
`bug_report.yml`. Related PR: #10574 self-heals the sibling provisioning
failure loop uncovered by the same incident diagnosis.
**What happened?**
An execution workspace whose recorded branch was renamed away failed
every subsequent run with `workspace_validation_failed` ("expected
branch does not exist"). The safe-repair matrix refused the case, so the
task stayed blocked until a human intervened.
**Expected behavior**
When the recorded branch is confirmed absent and the worktree is clean
and registered with its checked-out branch matching HEAD, Paperclip
adopts the checked-out branch through the audited forward-reconciliation
path and the next run proceeds.
**Steps to reproduce**
In an isolated workspace, rename the task branch (`git branch -m
<recorded> feat/something`) or delete the recorded branch, leave the
worktree clean, then start a new run on the task. Validation fails on
every retry.
**Paperclip version or commit**
master as of the branch point of this PR.
**Deployment mode**
Local trusted deployment with git-worktree isolated workspaces.
## What Changed
- `ensureGitWorktreeBranchCoherent` (workspace runtime): a missing
recorded branch with a clean worktree, an existing checked-out branch,
and a registered branch matching HEAD now goes through audited forward
reconciliation instead of failing closed. Gated behind
`enableWorkspaceBranchReconcileForward`.
- `reconcileExecutionWorkspaceBranch` mode `forward` (service): accepts
the same case so the board reconcile endpoint can repair it manually.
- The service inspection now classifies each branch ref as `resolved` /
`missing` / `error` (`git rev-parse --verify --quiet`, distinguishing an
absent ref from git failing to inspect the repo). Adoption requires a
confirmed-missing recorded ref **and** a resolved target ref, so a git
error can never bypass ancestry validation and a nonexistent branch name
is never persisted.
- Removed the test that asserted this case fails closed; it is
superseded by tests that assert the new behavior.
- New tests: successful adoption, dirty-worktree refusal, refusal when
the checked-out branch ref does not resolve either, and disabled-flag
behavior.
## Verification
- `server`: `npx vitest run
src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts -t "reconcil"` — 11
passed.
- `server`: `npx vitest run src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts -t
"adopt"` — 7 passed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit` in `server/` is clean.
- Manually validated the underlying repair on a live stranded workspace
before automating it: creating the recorded branch at the clean HEAD
ended the validation-failure loop without touching the agent's PR
branch.
## Risks
- The change relaxes a fail-closed gate, so the main risk is
over-adoption. Mitigations: the exception requires flag-on, clean
worktree, registered worktree path, registered branch matching HEAD, a
confirmed-missing (not merely unreadable) recorded ref, and a resolvable
target ref; everything else still fails closed. Every adoption goes
through the audited reconcile path with an issue comment trail.
- No migrations, no API surface changes (the reconcile route returns the
same hand-picked fields).

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage AI
agents for work.
> - Local agent heartbeats need durable process identity so the server
can supervise them.
> - The ACPX runtime owns the child process used by `codex_local`
sessions.
> - ACPX did not expose the child PID and start time to the Paperclip
adapter.
> - Warm ACPX runtimes can also serve a later heartbeat without a new
spawn event.
> - A hot restart could therefore classify a live Codex run as lost
because its heartbeat row had no process identity.
> - This pull request forwards ACPX spawn identity, reuses it for
compatible warm heartbeats, and fails closed when identity cannot be
persisted.
> - The benefit is reliable hot-restart adoption for eligible local
Codex runs.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No matching public GitHub issue was found.
**What happened?**
A `codex_local` heartbeat could run through ACPX without a persisted
`processPid` or `processStartedAt`. A Paperclip hot restart then had no
durable identity for the live ACP child. Recovery could classify the run
as `process_lost` even while the child was still alive.
**Expected behavior**
ACPX reports the real child PID and start time before the first prompt.
A compatible warm runtime reports the same known identity to each later
heartbeat that reuses the child. ACPX stops the child if the identity is
invalid or persistence fails. Hot-restart recovery can then adopt the
live run.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a `codex_local` heartbeat through the ACPX execution lane.
2. Keep the run active during a Paperclip hot restart.
3. Inspect the heartbeat row before this change.
4. Observe that the process identity can be null and recovery cannot
adopt the live child.
**Reproduced on**
- Paperclip `master` before this change.
- Linux source deployment.
- `codex_local` with ACPX `0.12.0`.
## What Changed
- Add an awaited `onAgentSpawn` lifecycle hook to the patched ACPX
runtime.
- Forward the ACP child PID and start time through the adapter `onSpawn`
callback.
- Keep a mutable callback sink for cached runtimes so a later respawn
updates the current heartbeat.
- Reuse the last known process identity when a compatible warm heartbeat
reuses the existing child.
- Kill the ACP child and fail session startup when the PID is invalid or
identity persistence rejects.
- Add ACPX and heartbeat recovery tests for callback ordering, warm
reuse, failure cleanup, durable row identity, and hot-restart adoption.
- Document the one-time drain required when an installed pre-fix run
already lacks process metadata.
## Verification

- `git diff --exit-code origin/master...HEAD -- pnpm-lock.yaml` —
passed.
- `git diff --exit-code origin/master...HEAD -- .github/workflows` —

## Risks
- Runtime risk is low to moderate. ACPX now awaits process-identity
persistence during child startup.
- ACPX kills the child when persistence fails. This prevents an
unsupervised process, but it makes that heartbeat fail visibly.
- A compatible warm heartbeat reuses the identity of the existing ACP
child. Regression tests verify that identity is persisted before the
next prompt.
- The change updates the vendored ACPX patch. Package installation must
apply that patch.
- There are no schema, migration, public API, UI, workflow, or lockfile
changes.

## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex used GPT-5.3-Codex for the earlier implementation.

repository tools, and code execution.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This change touches server orchestration, sandbox
transport, and observability.
**Problem or motivation**
A run can @-mention another project. Local targets stage each referenced
project and give the agent a path. Remote confined sandboxes dropped the
full referenced set, so the agent could not read those project files or
paths.
**Proposed solution**
Enable referenced-project sync for the confined sandbox transport behind
`PAPERCLIP_MULTI_PROJECT_WORKSPACE_SYNC_REMOTE`, which defaults on. Keep
the SSH transport out of scope and keep it dropping referenced projects.
Repoint each referenced workspace hint at its staged
`project-<projectId>` sandbox directory. Publish
`PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACES_JSON` on the confined sandbox lane. Count each
per-project remote staging failure as a `staging` failure in the
requested-vs-synced metrics.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep the remote path drop-only. That keeps the gap open. Move the change
into SSH too. That expands scope beyond the target transport and adds
risk.
**Roadmap alignment**
No matching item in `ROADMAP.md` showed up in this review.
**Additional context**
The change lands in three commits. The first commit opens the gate for
the confined sandbox transport. The second commit repoints the workspace
hints and publishes the workspace map. The third commit records
per-project staging failure data.
## What Changed
- Opened remote referenced-project sync for the confined sandbox
transport behind `PAPERCLIP_MULTI_PROJECT_WORKSPACE_SYNC_REMOTE`.
- Repointed referenced workspace hints to the staged
`project-<projectId>` sandbox directories and published
`PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACES_JSON`.
- Counted per-project remote staging failures as first-class `staging`
failures in the requested-vs-synced observability.
## Verification
- The pushed ref
`refs/heads/feat/sync-referenced-projects-remote-sandbox` resolves to
the authorized submit SHA.
- `git log --oneline
origin/master..origin/feat/sync-referenced-projects-remote-sandbox`
shows exactly the three expected commits.
- The handoff reports server typecheck clean, adapter-utils typecheck
clean, and the listed unit tests passing.
- The handoff also reports no open review comments and no Greptile score
yet.
## Risks
- The change touches authorization and sandbox path handling, so
regressions could block remote runs or expose the wrong project context.
- The new flag defaults on, so any bug in the remote path affects normal
remote use.
- SSH stays out of scope, so the two transport paths must remain
distinct.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip uses the server to coordinate agent work.
> - The server emits manual OpenTelemetry spans for startup, heartbeat,
and sandbox execution.
> - Those spans need the shared OpenTelemetry API package and a
type-safe exporter path.
> - Without the direct API dependency, the tracer stays no-op and the
spans do not reach the collector.
> - This pull request adds the direct dependency and the exporter cast.
> - The benefit is that the manual spans can export cleanly at runtime.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The server resolved the tracer with a runtime import, but `server` did
not declare `@opentelemetry/api`. The manual spans stayed no-op, so the
collector did not receive them.
**Expected behavior**
The server should load the shared OpenTelemetry API package, create the
manual spans, and export them.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start the server with telemetry enabled.
2. Run startup, heartbeat, or sandbox execution paths.
3. Observe that the manual spans do not export before this change.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`f91df236dfd8e5e6210941c80efeb0a7953bbe50`
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with `pnpm dev` or `pnpm build`.
## What Changed
- Added `@opentelemetry/api` as a direct `server` dependency.
- Cast the `traceExporter` value to `never` so the type check passes
without a static `SpanExporter` import.
- Kept the optional OTLP and SDK packages behind dynamic import.
## Verification
- `pnpm build` in `server/` passed.
- `server/src/instrumentation.ts` does not import `SpanExporter`.
- `server/package.json` lists `@opentelemetry/api` at `^1.9.0`.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change touches dependency metadata and one type cast.
- Runtime telemetry still needs live collector QA.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use enabled.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Instances run self-hosted or under hosting/deploy tooling, and
operators need to observe what build a server is actually running
> - `/api/health` carries the git SHA only inside `serverInfo`, which is
gated to board/agent actors — anonymous callers get a redacted body with
no version signal at all
> - Deploy tooling that manages instances from outside (fleet rollouts,
hosting providers, upgrade scripts) therefore cannot ground-truth that a
deploy actually shipped without holding credentials
> - A build commit is a plain git SHA of this public repository — it is
not a secret, and gating it buys no security while blocking legitimate
verification
> - This pull request surfaces the running build commit as a top-level
`commit` field on every `/api/health` response, including the redacted
anonymous one
> - The benefit is credential-free deploy verification: any operator or
tool can confirm which commit an instance serves, while the fuller
`serverInfo` block stays access-controlled as before
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing public issue — inline description following the feature
request template:
**Subsystem affected**
Server (API, runs, routes)
**Problem or motivation**
An anonymous `GET /api/health` returns a redacted body with no version
information; the running git SHA exists only in
`serverInfo.git.fullSha`, which requires a board/agent actor. External
deploy tooling (fleet rollouts, hosting providers, upgrade scripts)
therefore cannot verify that an instance is actually serving the build
it was just upgraded to — a rollout that silently keeps running the old
image is indistinguishable from a successful one at the health endpoint.
**Proposed solution**
Surface the running build commit as a top-level nullable `commit` field
on every `/api/health` response shape, including the redacted anonymous
one, while keeping the fuller `serverInfo` block access-controlled as
before. A build commit is a plain git SHA of this public repository —
exposing it costs nothing and enables credential-free deploy
verification, like the `version` endpoints on most server software.
**Alternatives considered**
Authenticating deploy tooling as a board actor to read `serverInfo` —
rejected: it forces credential plumbing into infrastructure that only
needs a public SHA, and adds a whole class of auth-misconfiguration
failure to deploy verification.
**Roadmap alignment**
Not on ROADMAP.md; a small operational observability improvement, no
overlap with planned core work.
## What Changed
- `server/src/routes/health.ts`: derive `commit` from the server info
snapshot (`serverInfo.git.fullSha` when git metadata is available, else
`null`) and include it as a top-level field on every `/api/health`
response shape — the redacted anonymous body, the full-details body, the
no-db body, and the 503 database-unreachable body.
- `serverInfo` itself remains gated to full-details responses exactly as
before; only the bare commit is newly public.
- `server/src/__tests__/health.test.ts`: updated exact-shape assertions
to include `commit`, and added an assertion that `commit` is `null` (not
omitted) when git metadata is unavailable. The redacted-response tests
now pin that anonymous callers receive the commit.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/health.test.ts` in `server/` — 13 tests
pass, including the redacted-anonymous shapes (which now pin the
`commit` field) and the git-unavailable `null` case.
- `tsc -p server/tsconfig.json --noEmit` — clean.
- Manual: `curl -s https://<instance>/api/health` as an anonymous caller
returns `"commit": "<full sha>"` alongside the existing redacted fields.
## Risks
- **Version disclosure:** anonymous callers can now fingerprint the
exact running commit. This is a deliberate trade-off: the builds are of
a public repository (the SHA reveals no private code), the endpoint
already responds to anonymous callers, and the operational value —
verifying deploys actually shipped — outweighs the marginal
fingerprinting surface. Operators who consider this sensitive are
typically fronting `/api` with their own access controls already.
- Otherwise low risk: no behavioral change to any gated field, no schema
or API-surface removal; `commit: null` keeps the field shape stable when
git metadata is absent (e.g. non-git installs).
## Model Used
Claude Opus 4.8 (`claude-opus-4-8`, extended thinking, via Claude Code
with tool use and code execution) authored the change and tests;
finalized and PR'd under Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`).

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents pick their model from a dropdown in agent config, populated
per-adapter by `listAdapterModels()` → each adapter's live provider
catalog merged over a static fallback list
> - For `claude_local`, newer model ids only reach the dropdown via the
live Anthropic `/v1/models` fetch, which needs a server
`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, a <5s round-trip, non-Bedrock mode, and account
entitlement; on any miss it silently falls back to the static `models`
array
> - Claude Sonnet 5 (`claude-sonnet-5`) is a current flagship but was
absent from that static fallback, so it appeared only when live
discovery happened to succeed — i.e. "the newest model doesn't
consistently show up"
> - This pull request adds `claude-sonnet-5` to the `claude_local`
static model list so it is selectable regardless of the live-discovery
path
> - The benefit is a consistent, reliable dropdown that no longer
depends on a flaky live fetch to surface a shipped flagship model
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue. The bug is described inline following the
bug-report template:
**What happened**
The `claude_local` agent-config model dropdown intermittently omitted
Claude Sonnet 5. `claude-sonnet-5` was missing from the adapter's static
fallback `models` array (`packages/adapters/claude-local/src/index.ts`),
so it only surfaced when the live Anthropic `/v1/models` discovery
happened to succeed.
**Expected behavior**
Claude Sonnet 5 is a shipped flagship model and should always be
selectable in the dropdown, independent of whether live discovery
succeeds.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the server without a working live Anthropic `/v1/models` path (no
`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, Bedrock mode, a discovery timeout, or a cache
miss).
2. Open agent config for a `claude_local` agent and inspect the model
dropdown.
3. Observe that `claude-sonnet-5` is absent because the static fallback
list omitted it.
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted / local adapter (`claude_local`); the server process reads
`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` from its environment.
## What Changed
- Added `{ id: "claude-sonnet-5", label: "Claude Sonnet 5" }` to the
`claude_local` static `models` fallback, immediately after
`claude-opus-4-8` (so Opus 4.8 stays the default first option).
- Added an explicit regression assertion in
`server/src/__tests__/adapter-models.test.ts` that `claude-sonnet-5` is
present in the `claude_local` fallback when live discovery is
unavailable.
## Verification
- `pnpm -C server exec vitest run src/__tests__/adapter-models.test.ts
-t "claude fallback"` — **passes** (the new `claude-sonnet-5` assertion
included).
- Reviewed the consuming tests: the fallback test also asserts
`models[0]?.id === "claude-opus-4-8"` (still index 0 — Sonnet 5 is index
1, unaffected); `adapter-registry.test.ts` reads `builtIn?.models`
dynamically, so no exact-array snapshot breaks.
- Change is a single static-data addition plus a test assertion; no
control-flow change.
## Risks
- Low risk. Pure additive change to a fallback list; no control-flow
change. Worst case is an id that a given account isn't entitled to,
which the existing "current"/manual-model UI paths already tolerate.
## Model Used
Claude (Anthropic), model id `claude-opus-4-8` (Opus 4.8), extended
thinking + tool use, run as the Paperclip CTO agent.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The heartbeat service delivers issue work to assigned agents.
> - Recovery can hand an issue back to its agent while the recovery run
is still active.
> - The hand-back wake can merge into that active run and disappear when
the run exits.
> - The stranded-work scan also treats the successful recovery run as
proof that the handed-back issue is live.
> - This pull request keeps the hand-back wake for follow-up delivery
and lets the scan repair a lost wake.
> - The benefit is that an assigned issue continues after recovery
without manual operator action.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists. This is related to the wake reconciliation work
in #8943.
**What happened?**
A recovery action could hand an assigned issue back from `blocked` to
`todo`. The `issue_recovery_action_restored` wake then merged into the
recovery run that made the change. The wake disappeared when that run
exited. The stranded-work scan did not repair the issue because it
treated the successful recovery run as current liveness.
**Expected behavior**
Paperclip must dispatch the hand-back wake after the recovery run exits.
If that delivery is lost, the stranded-work scan must enqueue the
assigned `todo` issue again.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a recovery run for an assigned blocked issue.
2. Resolve a recovery action with the `handed_back` outcome.
3. Move the issue to `todo` while the recovery run is still active.
4. Observe that the wake merges into the active run and no new run
starts after it exits.
5. Run the stranded-work scan and observe that the successful latest run
prevents repair.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`131d476a7e`
**Deployment mode**
Local dev (`pnpm dev`). The defect is in the core server and is not
deployment-specific.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific. This is a core heartbeat and recovery defect.
## What Changed
- Added `issue_recovery_action_restored` to the wake reasons that
require follow-up delivery when an issue run is active.
- Made the stranded-work scan detect a resolved hand-back that occurred
during or after the latest successful run.
- Added focused regression tests for the heartbeat coalescing seam and
the stranded-work repair shape.
- Documented the hand-back liveness guarantee in execution semantics
section 9.1.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-comment-wake-batching.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` passed: 104
tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- `pnpm test:run` passed the server shard (3,095 passed, 2 skipped) and
UI shard (3,182 passed). One unrelated CLI test failed because the agent
environment exports static AWS credentials. `env -u AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -u
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY -u AWS_SESSION_TOKEN pnpm exec vitest run
cli/src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts` passed all 8 tests.
- `git diff --check` passed.
- All GitHub checks passed on commit `8b380e67e6`.
- Greptile gave 5/5 confidence with no comments or unresolved threads.
## Risks
- Low risk. The follow-up rule affects only a recovery hand-back wake
that arrives while the same issue already has an active run.
- The backstop adds one indexed recovery-action lookup for an assigned
`todo` issue whose latest run succeeded.
- The timestamp check uses the latest run start time. This includes
hand-backs made by that run and later hand-backs, but excludes older
resolved actions.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex with GPT-5 (`gpt-5`), agentic reasoning, tool use, and
code execution. The serving context-window size is not exposed to the
agent.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The recovery subsystem restores work after an agent run stops or
loses state
> - Recovery notices currently use the same visual weight as normal work
comments
> - Recovery agents can also post long narratives that obscure the
useful hand-off

> - This pull request adds compact recovery notices, structured action
references, and brief recovery prompts
> - The benefit is a quieter issue thread that still keeps recovery
state inspectable
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: `server/`, `packages/shared`, and
`packages/adapter-utils`.
**Problem or motivation**
Recovery notices and recovery-run comments can dominate an issue thread.
Operators must scan routine recovery narration before they find the work
hand-off.
**Proposed solution**
Give routine recovery output a compact system-notice presentation.
Derive the presentation on the server so agents cannot hide arbitrary
comments. Keep the successful missing-state summary fully visible
because that comment is the recovery deliverable.
**Alternatives considered**
The UI could detect recovery text. That approach is fragile and does not
provide structured action references. Agents could also set presentation
directly, but that would weaken the current board-only security
boundary.
**Roadmap alignment**
This change refines the completed “Self-healing runs & automatic
recovery” and “Enforced Outcomes” roadmap areas. It does not add a
competing roadmap capability.
**Additional context**
The scope covers shared comment validation, server recovery notices,
agent-comment derivation, and recovery prompt text. No database
migration is needed because presentation data already uses JSON.
## What Changed
- Add the `compact` issue-comment presentation density to shared
constants, types, and validation.
- Give recovery escalation, waiting, and in-place notices compact titles
and structured recovery-action metadata.
- Use recovery-action metadata for notice deduplication, with the legacy
text marker as a compatibility fallback.
- Derive compact presentation for comments from recovery-scoped runs
while preserving the board-only presentation boundary.
- Keep successful missing-state recovery summaries fully visible.
- Ask recovery participants to record outcomes in `resolutionNote` and
keep source-issue comments brief.
- Add shared, route, service, and prompt tests for the new behavior and
exceptions.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- Focused Vitest coverage: 320 tests passed across shared validators,
adapter prompts, issue comments, recovery actions, and heartbeat
recovery.
- Full server phase: 292 files passed, 3,094 tests passed, and 2 tests
skipped.
- Full UI phase: 386 files passed and 3,182 tests passed.
- `pnpm build`
- Known master baseline: `cli/src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts` expects
`pass`, but the current implementation returns `warn` when strict secret
mode is disabled for Postgres. This branch does not change CLI secrets
code.
## Risks
- Low migration risk. The presentation column is JSON and needs no
database migration.
- Recovery-run detection depends on the persisted run context snapshot.
- Structured metadata becomes the primary deduplication key. The
existing body marker remains as a fallback for older comments.
> 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 `gpt-5.6-sol`. The runtime did not expose the
context-window size. The model used agentic reasoning, repository tools,
code execution, and test execution.

window instead of silently omitting later issues
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Pre-submission checklist
- [x] I searched existing open and closed issues and pull requests; no
matching report or implementation was found.
- [x] I reproduced the behavior against the pre-change `master`
implementation.
- [x] I confirmed the error originates in Paperclip's core timeline UI,
not an adapter, provider, or local configuration.
### What happened?
Selecting the default seven-day timeline range loaded only the first API
page (up to 500 issues). Companies with more activity therefore
displayed incomplete data even though the controls showed the full
selected window.
### Expected behavior
The timeline should load all issue pages that fall within the selected
date window.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Open the company timeline for a date range containing more than 500
issues.
2. Keep the default seven-day range or select another multi-day preset.
3. Observe that only the first page of issue-backed timeline data is
shown.
### Paperclip version or commit
Pre-change `master`.
### Deployment mode
Local dev source build. The behavior is not adapter-specific and is
independent of database mode and access context.
### Privacy checklist
- [x] No logs, configuration, personally identifiable information, or
user data are included.
## What Changed
- Added pagination parameters to the timeline API client contract.
- Added a timeline window loader that requests every issue page and
deduplicates actors, spans, events, and edges while preserving
pagination metadata.
- Switched the timeline query to use the complete-window loader.
- Added a regression test proving a 501-issue window loads both API
pages and combines their records.
- Preserved delegation events and edges when parent and child issues
fall on different API pages, with a server regression test.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/work-timeline-service.test.ts
ui/src/pages/Timeline.test.tsx` — 16 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — all gates clean.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed.
- Remote CI: build, typecheck, both e2e shards, canary, policy,
security, every general/serialized test shard, and the aggregate
`verify` gate passed on head `24784b28e9`.
## Risks
- Low risk: the change is isolated to timeline data loading and has no
schema or API endpoint changes.
- Large date windows now make sequential requests for all issue pages,
increasing request count for very active companies; the 500-item page
size bounds each response.
- Merged records rely on stable identifiers or composite event/edge
keys; the regression test covers cross-page combination and
deduplication behavior.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Docker image persists all instance state (project checkouts,
worktrees, run logs, uploads) under `PAPERCLIP_HOME`, and deployments
mount a volume there for durability
> - The entrypoint starts as root and drops privileges to the `node`
user, but it fixes `PAPERCLIP_HOME` ownership only when it remaps the
user's UID/GID
> - A freshly mounted volume arrives root-owned and shadows the image's
build-time `chown`, so a default-UID boot drops privileges onto an
unwritable home and the server crashes on its first `mkdir`
> - This pull request makes the entrypoint probe the home's ownership
and chown whenever it does not match the runtime user, before the
privilege drop
> - The benefit is that the image works out of the box on any
platform-managed volume, with the common already-correct boot staying
chown-free
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists — describing the bug inline (per the bug report
template).
**What happened?**
Running the image with a freshly created volume mounted at `/paperclip`
(a Docker named volume, a Kubernetes PV, or any platform-managed volume)
and the default `USER_UID`/`USER_GID` crashes on boot: `Error: EACCES:
permission denied, mkdir '/paperclip/instances/default/logs'`.
**Expected behavior**
The container boots and initializes its instance tree on the mounted
volume, exactly as it does when `/paperclip` is the image's own
(build-time chowned) directory.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. `docker volume create paperclip-data`
2. `docker run -v paperclip-data:/paperclip
ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip:<any current tag>`
3. Observe the EACCES crash on the first `mkdir` under `/paperclip`.
**Root cause**
`scripts/docker-entrypoint.sh` chowns `/paperclip` only inside its
UID/GID remap branch (`changed=1`). A fresh volume mount is root-owned
and shadows the image's build-time `chown node:node /paperclip`; with
the default 1000:1000 no remap happens, so no chown happens, and `gosu
node` drops onto an unwritable home.
**Paperclip version or commit:** reproduces on `master` and any
published image.
**Deployment mode:** any; observed on managed-cloud volume mounts and
reproducible with plain Docker named volumes.
**Installation method:** Docker image (`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip`).
**Related PRs (dedup search):** no open or merged PR touches the
entrypoint ownership logic; the entrypoint's privilege-handling tests
were added previously and this extends them. No duplicate found.
## What Changed
- `scripts/docker-entrypoint.sh`: the remap-conditional `chown` is
replaced by an ownership probe — after any UID/GID remap, the entrypoint
stats `PAPERCLIP_HOME` (default `/paperclip`) and runs `chown -R
node:node` only when the owner does not match the runtime user, before
`exec gosu node`. Covers fresh root-owned mounts and trees written under
a previous UID mapping; the already-correct boot performs no chown. The
unprivileged (non-root start) branch is unchanged.
- `server/src/__tests__/docker-entrypoint.test.ts`: `stat` stub added to
the harness; new cases for the fresh root-owned mount with default
UID/GID and for `PAPERCLIP_HOME`-relative probing; the remap case now
models the post-remap ownership mismatch.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/docker-entrypoint.test.ts` — 7
passed (5 existing behaviors unchanged, 2 new).
- Live on a managed deployment: a container that crash-looped with the
EACCES above boots cleanly once the home is chowned before the drop (the
same effect this entrypoint change produces; forced there by a UID remap
as an interim workaround).
## Risks
- Low. Behavior changes only for boots where `PAPERCLIP_HOME` exists
with mismatched ownership — exactly the boots that crash today. `chown
-R` on a large previously-mismatched tree adds one-time boot latency;
correctly-owned homes skip it entirely. Kubernetes restricted /
OpenShift non-root starts keep the existing exec-directly path
untouched.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Company Import/Export (#10507, hardened in #10523 and #10531) now
imports a large company end to end via an async job
> - A real 1,418-issue import succeeded, but three rough edges showed up
in that success
> - Imported issues flooded the inbox, a completed import surfaced a
false "failed" message after its in-memory result expired, and the new
company didn't appear in the switcher until a manual refresh
> - This pull request keeps imported issues out of the inbox, treats an
expired-but-completed import as success, and refreshes the company list
on completion
> - The benefit is that a successful import looks and feels successful,
and doesn't bury the user's inbox in historical tasks
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Refs #10507 / #10523 / #10531 (Import/Export and its hardening). No
open issue; three post-import bugs described above.
## What Changed
- **Imported issues no longer flood the inbox.** The inbox "mine" tab is
a query: an issue is "touched" if the user authored a comment on it, and
import re-attributes bundled user comments to the importing user — so
every imported issue appeared. Import now seeds a per-user
`issue_inbox_archives` row for each imported issue (via a batched
`issues.archiveImportedInbox`), the exact table the inbox visibility
query excludes. Gated on an actor user id, so agent/system imports and
normal issue creation are untouched; genuine new activity still
resurfaces the issue.
- **A completed import no longer shows a false failure.** The in-memory
job's terminal retention was 5 minutes, so a poll after that 404'd and
the UI showed "failed." Retention is extended to 60 minutes — the real
mitigation for a user who steps away during a long import.
`watchImportJob` additionally treats a *server-confirmed* success whose
full result is no longer retained (a `succeeded` status carrying only
the compact summary — a cloud tenant job, or a board job whose full
in-memory result aged out) as a soft success ("import completed — open
the company"), navigating by the summary's company id. A 404 while the
job is still being watched is *not* treated as success: a running job is
never dropped by the retention sweep, so its disappearance means a
restart mid-import that may not have finished, and it surfaces the
honest "may have restarted while the import ran" error. A first-poll 404
(the id never existed) is likewise a real error.
- **The imported company appears without a refresh.** `onSuccess` now
invalidates the companies/switcher query unconditionally (covering both
the full-result and expired-but-completed paths) and navigates by the
job's company id.
## Verification
- shared/server/ui typechecks clean; 15 UI tests in the touched spec
green, plus the embedded-Postgres import batching and portability-routes
suites.
- New tests: embedded-Postgres test that imported touched issues are
archived for the actor and excluded from the inbox query while a
normally-created issue still appears; job resolvable at the old window+1
and only 404s past 60 min; UI soft success on a server-confirmed
`succeeded` job without a retained full result (no error, list
invalidated, navigates by company id), a running-then-gone job → honest
error (restart mid-import), and a first-poll 404 → error.
## Risks
- Low and import-scoped: the inbox archive only affects imported issues
for the importing user; normal issue creation and non-user
(agent/system) imports are unchanged. Retention extension is a constant;
the async job store remains in-memory by design. A restart mid-import
still 404s and is surfaced honestly as a possible failure (never masked
as success); only a server-confirmed success whose full result has
expired is reported as a soft success.
## Model Used
- Implementation: Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`, Anthropic). Review
hardening (the confirmed-success narrowing): Claude Opus 4.8
(`claude-opus-4-8`, Anthropic). Both via the Claude Code CLI with
extended thinking + tool use; root-caused against the live import.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip moves agent work through sandboxed execution and
control-plane services.
> - The sandbox start path now has a no-op span seam.
> - This change turns that seam on when OTLP export is configured.
> - It keeps the default path unchanged when export is off.
> - The result is structured startup traces with low-cardinality
attributes and explicit parent links.
> - The benefit is better observability without changing normal
behavior.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this change.
### Problem
The sandbox start path has a tracer seam, but it stays a no-op unless
the OTLP export path is active.
### Proposed solution
Enable the server tracer on sandbox bring-up, open a root span, parent
each startup boundary to that root, and keep the export path opt-in
behind `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT`.
### Alternatives considered
- Keep the start path as a no-op. I rejected that path because it leaves
sandbox start opaque when OTLP export is already configured.
- Add broad attributes for commands and paths. I rejected that path
because the span allowlist must stay low-cardinality.
### Roadmap alignment
This follows the current OTel sandbox-start work and keeps the default
path unchanged.
## What Changed
- Add a root sandbox startup span and child spans for each named startup
boundary.
- Keep concurrent bridge spans parented to the root span.
- Inject the server tracer through the adapter deps without
OpenTelemetry imports in the engine.
- Attach host-received provider duration attributes only when the values
are finite.
- Keep span attributes inside the allowlist and keep command, path, id,
and error text out of span data.
## Verification
- The pushed branch already passed `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/adapter-utils exec tsc --noEmit`.
- The pushed branch already passed `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/`.
- The pushed branch already passed `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server
exec vitest run src/__tests__/environment-execution-target.test.ts
src/__tests__/instrumentation.test.ts`.
- The pushed branch already passed `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server
exec tsc --noEmit`.
## Risks
- OTel export changes trace volume when the endpoint is set.
- The allowlist limits trace detail, so new fields need care.
- The change stays no-op when OTLP export is off.
## Model Used
- OpenAI GPT-5, tool use enabled.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Company Import (#10507, hardened in #10523) lets a user upload a
company package on the Import page
> - The page expanded the user's `.zip` into a files map and POSTed it
as ONE inline JSON body — ~40MB for a real company because attachment
blobs get base64-inflated
> - On Paperclip Cloud that body travels browser → harness proxy →
tenant, where it truncated in transit → body-parser 400 → the browser
saw "Failed to fetch", and nothing imported
> - Two compounding causes: the giant inline body itself, and the board
async opt-in riding an `x-paperclip-cloud-*` header that the Cloud
harness strips as anti-spoofing (so async never engaged and the import
held one fragile synchronous connection)
> - This pull request uploads the raw compressed `.zip` as a multipart
request (about a third the size, already compressed) parsed server-side
into the same bundle the importer consumes, and moves the async opt-in
to a proxy-safe `?async=1`
> - The benefit is that a large-company import actually completes
through Cloud: a small compressed upload, a real async job that survives
dropped connections
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Refs #10507 / #10523 (Import/Export and its hardening). No open issue;
problem described above (large-company browser import through a proxy:
inline JSON body truncates → 400 → "Failed to fetch"; async opt-in
header stripped by the front door → async never engages).
## What Changed
- **Multipart zip transport.** The Import page uploads the raw `File` as
`multipart/form-data` (field `package`, import options in a JSON `meta`
field); the server unzips it into `{ rootPath, files }` and runs the
exact existing preview/import logic. The `application/json` inline path
is byte-identical for CLI/programmatic callers. Bare `application/zip`
(meta via `?meta=`) is also accepted for programmatic use.
- **Shared node zip reader.** `packages/shared/src/portability-zip.ts`
(node-only subpath, not re-exported to the browser bundle — same pattern
as `portability-hash.ts`); the CLI's `zip.ts` becomes a thin re-export.
Identical codec (STORE + DEFLATE via `inflateRawSync`, rejects data
descriptors/zip64).
- **Proxy-safe async signal.** `wantsAsyncImport` = `?async=1` (board
browsers, survives the harness) OR the existing
`x-paperclip-cloud-async-import` header (cloud tenants, set
server-side). The UI async client now uses `?async=1`. Backward
compatible.
- **Size + preflight.** New `PORTABLE_ZIP_UPLOAD_LIMIT_BYTES = 128MB`;
the inline 56MB preflight no longer gates the zip path (it shows the
compressed size instead). Async submit/poll/resume, the duplicate-guard
fingerprint (now over the resolved bundle), pause-on-import,
progress/error panels, and activation all apply to the multipart path.
- OpenAPI documents json + multipart + zip bodies and the `async` query
param.
## Verification
- Full typecheck chain (shared, server, ui, cli) clean.
- 152 tests across 8 files: new `portability-zip.test.ts`
(STORE/DEFLATE/base64-blob byte-exact round-trip, truncation throws,
data-descriptor rejection); `company-portability-routes.test.ts` +7
(multipart import+preview equals the inline bundle; async multipart
202→poll→success; board async via `?async=1` with no cloud header;
cloud-tenant async via header; sync fallback with neither; truncated-zip
400, nothing imported); `CompanyImport.test.tsx` asserts the local zip
sends the raw File and the inline preflight no longer blocks;
`openapi-routes.test.ts` green.
- NOT yet measured: the end-to-end browser upload through the live Cloud
harness — verified on staging after deploy before closing out.
## Risks
- Import semantics unchanged — only transport changed; the JSON inline
path is byte-identical, the cloud-tenant header async path untouched.
Multipart parsing is server-side (memory-bound: a ~13MB zip → ~30MB
files map, fine on the server).
- The bare `application/zip` path is programmatic-only and covered by
content-type dispatch but not a dedicated route test (the multipart path
is).
## Model Used
- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`, Anthropic), Claude Code CLI,
extended thinking + tool use; root-caused against live logs/DB and the
harness proxy source.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip helps people run and govern AI agent work
> - Sandbox startup needs a safe place to add telemetry spans without
forcing OpenTelemetry on every run
> - This change adds a no-op span seam, so the startup path can accept a
tracer later and still stay inert now
> - The server gets a lazy tracer accessor, and the adapter timing
helper gets an injected tracer hook
> - The change keeps the default path free of OpenTelemetry and keeps
the existing startup event path unchanged
> - The benefit is a future-safe seam with no runtime change today
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This PR addresses a feature gap in the sandbox startup path.
### Problem
Sandbox startup has no safe span seam. A direct OpenTelemetry import
would load telemetry packages on every run.
### Proposed Solution
Add a lazy tracer accessor in the server. Add an injected no-op tracer
seam in startup timing.
### Alternatives
Import OpenTelemetry directly in the startup path. Reject that path
because the default startup flow must stay inert.
## What Changed
- Added a lazy startup tracer accessor in
`server/src/instrumentation.ts`.
- Added an injected startup tracer seam in
`packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/startup-timing.ts`.
- Kept the startup event path unchanged.
- Kept `adapter-utils` free of OpenTelemetry imports.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/startup-timing.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/instrumentation.test.ts`
- `tsc --noEmit` for `@paperclipai/adapter-utils` and
`@paperclipai/server`
## Risks
Low risk. The default tracer is a no-op, so the runtime path stays inert
until a later change injects a real tracer.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5. Tool use and code execution.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip creates isolated instances for linked git worktrees so
development does not affect the primary instance
> - Those instances inherited the source instance's automatic
database-backup setting and also repaired older configs without
overriding it
> - As worktrees accumulated, each isolated instance could schedule its
own backup stream, producing redundant backup churn for disposable
database clones
> - This pull request makes backup disablement an invariant of worktree
config creation and repair
> - The benefit is that automatic backups remain focused on the durable
primary instance while isolated development instances stop accumulating
redundant backup files
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this bug, so the report is included
here. The closest related open change is Refs #10266, which hardens
where worktree config repair may write; this PR changes the backup
policy applied by that repair and by worktree initialization.
### What happened?
Isolated worktree instances copied `database.backup.enabled` from their
source config. When the source instance enabled automatic backups (the
normal default), every linked worktree also enabled a scheduled backup
stream. Existing worktree configs kept that state during startup repair,
so the redundant backups continued after the policy changed.
### Expected behavior
Automatic database backups are disabled for isolated worktree instances
created by `paperclipai worktree init` or `paperclipai worktree:make`,
and legacy worktree configs are migrated to that policy during normal
startup repair. The durable primary/default instance keeps its existing
backup behavior.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Start from a Paperclip instance whose database backup setting is
enabled.
2. Create or initialize a linked worktree with `paperclipai worktree
init`.
3. Inspect the generated worktree config and environment.
4. Before this change, the config retained `database.backup.enabled:
true` and the environment had no disabling override; after this change,
the config is false and `PAPERCLIP_DB_BACKUP_ENABLED=false` is
persisted.
### Paperclip version, deployment mode, and environment
- Reproduced against `master` before commit `ea5e0a0269`.
- Deployment mode: local trusted development with linked git worktrees
and embedded PostgreSQL.
- Environment: Node.js 22, pnpm workspace install.
## What Changed
- Always generate isolated worktree configs with automatic backups
disabled.
- Persist `PAPERCLIP_DB_BACKUP_ENABLED=false` in generated worktree
environments.
- Repair existing isolated worktree configs and environments that still
enable backups.
- Add CLI and server regression coverage for creation and legacy repair
paths.
- Document the worktree-specific backup policy and primary-instance
exception.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run cli/src/__tests__/worktree.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/worktree-config.test.ts` — 52 tests passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- All repository commands above were run with inherited worktree runtime
identity variables removed.
## Risks
- Low operational risk: the change is limited to explicitly isolated
worktree instances.
- Operators who intentionally relied on automatic backups of disposable
worktree databases will now need to run a manual backup or explicitly
manage those files outside the scheduled worktree runtime.
- No schema, migration, API, UI, lockfile, or workflow changes.

## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex based on GPT-5 (the runtime does not expose a more
specific snapshot ID or context-window value), using reasoning, tool
use, local code execution, and GitHub CLI integration.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Company Import/Export (#10507) moves whole companies between
instances as portability bundles
> - Real-world use on a large company (1,418 issues, ~10.6k comments)
surfaced a cluster of related failures: the import took hours and the
browser connection died while the server kept running, a retry silently
produced a second partial import, the progress/error UI gave no durable
signal, and a cloud-tenant user couldn't even open the companies
afterward
> - Root cause of the slowness: importBundle inserted every issue,
comment, and document as a separate round-trip to a network Postgres —
an N+1-over-network pattern
> - This pull request hardens the whole import path: durable
progress/error UI, an async server-side job so imports survive dropped
connections (with a duplicate-submit guard), a fail-closed guard against
incomplete payloads, and batched inserts that cut a large import from
hours to minutes
> - The benefit is that migrating a real, large company actually
completes, is legible while it runs, and can't half-import twice
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Refs #10507 (the Import/Export feature this hardens). Supersedes
#10513 (the progress/error-UI piece, folded in here). No open issue;
problem described above (large-company import: slow, connection-fragile,
silently duplicable, opaque UI).
## What Changed
- **Batched inserts (perf):** importBundle pre-generates entity ids in
JS and inserts in chunked multi-row statements, so children no longer
wait on parents' generated ids. A 1,418-issue import drops from ~15,600
insert statements to **82** (190×); benchmark below. Import semantics —
collision handling, pause-on-import,
label/blocker/monitor/attachment/embedded-asset handling, blob sha
verification — are unchanged (full portability suite green).
- **Async import jobs for board sessions:** the existing cloud-tenant
async job path opens to board sessions with per-actor job keys; the
import page submits, polls, and resumes watching after a reload or
dropped connection instead of holding one fragile request. A
non-terminal job blocks a duplicate submit (409 returns the running
job), preventing the double-import.
- **Fail-closed completeness guard:** an optional `expectedFileCount` on
inline imports; the server rejects (422 `import_payload_incomplete`) a
body carrying fewer files than declared, so a re-framed/short payload
fails loudly instead of half-importing.
- **Durable progress/error UI (was #10513):** persistent progress panels
with size-aware copy, persistent error panels with retry guidance, and
inline explanation when the preview button is disabled;
request-lifecycle guards so stale previews/imports can't publish or
detach.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r` typechecks (shared, server, ui) clean.
- `company-portability.test.ts` (76) +
`company-portability-routes.test.ts` (30) green — the import correctness
net — plus new `CompanyImport.test.tsx` async/resume/409 coverage and a
new batching regression test (a 50-issue import issues <50 issue-insert
statements; rows land unchanged).
- **Batching benchmark (embedded Postgres):** at 1,418 issues × 7
comments × 1 doc — 82 insert statements vs ~15,598 one-per-row (190×),
~1s wall-clock; a row-verifying run at that scale imports all 1,418
issues / 9,926 comments / 1,418 documents with unique identifiers and no
warnings (no rows dropped by chunking). Over a network DB the round-trip
reduction is the hours→minutes lever.
- What is NOT directly measured here: wall-clock against a real network
Postgres (that happens on a staging deploy); the local timing is
network-free.
## Risks
- Batching is the load-bearing change: it rewrites the import write
path. Mitigated by the unchanged 106-test correctness suite, a new
scale/row-integrity test, and per-writer transactions (a failure rolls
back its table group; not a single outer transaction across writers —
noted, correctness preserved).
- Async jobs are in-memory (lost on server restart → pollers 404 and can
resubmit); matches the pre-existing cloud-tenant job semantics.
- `expectedFileCount` is optional (older callers unaffected); over-count
is allowed, only under-count fails closed.
## Model Used
- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`, Anthropic), Claude Code CLI,
extended thinking + tool use; implementation across Fable 5 subagents
with live diagnosis against a running instance.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - On Paperclip Cloud, each stack authenticates its users to the tenant
app through trusted headers (`resolveCloudTenantActor`), which seed a
primary company for the stack
> - That actor was pinned to exactly one company — the seeded primary —
regardless of any other companies the user actually holds a membership
in
> - Companies created later (via the import flow, or company creation)
write real membership rows for the user, but the pinned actor ignored
them, so those companies showed up in listings yet returned "User does
not have access to this company" when opened
> - This pull request unions the pinned primary with the user's own
active membership rows, exactly as a locally authenticated session
already does
> - The benefit is that a Cloud user can reach every company they belong
to — most visibly, a company they just imported
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Refs #10507 (Import/Export — imported companies were unreachable on
Cloud stacks). No open issue; bug described above (companies visible in
listing but unreachable; expected: reachable when the user holds an
active membership).
## What Changed
- Extracted the session path's own active-membership query into
`loadActiveUserCompanyMemberships(db, userId)` (single-sourced; the
session path now calls it too).
- `resolveCloudTenantActor` unions its result with the pinned primary:
`companyIds = [primary, ...others]`, memberships likewise, primary
first. Strictly per-user; a membership-read failure degrades to
primary-only (mirrors the existing fail-closed owner-elevation pattern).
No change to owner instance-admin elevation, grant seeding, the stale
instance-admin purge, or trusted-header validation.
- Grants are seeded at membership creation across all flows (company
create, invite/join, import), not per request — so no extra seeding was
added here.
## Verification
- `@paperclipai/server` typecheck clean.
- `cloud-tenant-actor.test.ts` (+ union / other-user-excluded /
inactive-excluded / no-rows-identical cases),
`auth-session-route.test.ts` (route-level: trusted headers reach a
unioned company through `assertCompanyAccess`), plus agent-auth,
authz-company-access, cross-company-authz, portability-routes — 83 tests
green.
## Risks
- Low and tightly scoped: only widens a Cloud actor's reachable
companies to those it already holds active memberships in; users without
extra memberships, other users' rows, and owner elevation are all
unaffected. Read failure fails closed to primary-only.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Execution policies let issues move through enforced review and
approval stages before work is considered done.
> - Active reviewers and approvers must include decision rationale when
approving or requesting changes.
> - The server already requires the decision comment to arrive in the
same `PATCH /api/issues/:id` request as the status change.
> - When callers post a normal comment first and then send a status-only
`PATCH`, the existing 422 only says a comment is required.
> - This pull request keeps the atomic decision behavior but makes the
API error and docs explicit about the same-request requirement.
> - The benefit is that agents and API clients can recover immediately
by sending `{ status, comment }` together instead of dead-ending on an
ambiguous validation error.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#9049.
Duplicate/related search completed before implementation: searched open
PRs for `9049`, `Approving a review or approval stage requires a
comment`, `Requesting changes requires a comment`, and `same PATCH`. I
did not find a direct open PR for the same error-message/docs fix.
Related PRs found but not duplicates: #8302 documents cross-agent review
gates in the skill API reference, and #5487 covers human approval UI.
## What Changed
- Expanded execution-policy 422 messages for approve and request-changes
decisions to say the comment must be included in the same `PATCH`
request and prior comments are not considered.
- Tightened unit coverage so the comment-required branches assert the
new actionable guidance.
- Documented the same-request `{ status, comment }` decision shape in
the execution policy guide, issue API reference, and agent communication
guide.
## Verification
- `CI=true corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-execution-policy.test.ts --reporter verbose`
- `CI=true corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk exec node
../../../scripts/ensure-plugin-build-deps.mjs`
- `CI=true corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit`
- `git diff --check`
## Risks
Low risk. This does not change execution-policy state transitions or
relax the atomic decision guard; it only makes the existing requirement
explicit in errors and docs.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies.
> - Company skills are reusable capabilities that operators install,
edit, assign, and materialize for agents.
> - Managed local skills currently lack a safe backend operation for
changing their display name and canonical slug/key together.
> - Treating rename as an ordinary save can leave duplicate records,
stale runtime materializations, or agent assignments pointing at the old
key.
> - This pull request adds a company-scoped managed-skill rename
contract, service operation, and REST endpoint with focused
authorization and activity logging.
> - The benefit is an atomic-enough, recoverable rename path that keeps
disk state, database identity, and agent skill assignments synchronized.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Refs #2121
- Problem: managed company skills need a dedicated rename operation
rather than save-time duplication behavior.
- Expected behavior: renaming a managed skill updates its name, slug,
key, source directory, frontmatter, runtime materialization, and
assigned-agent references while preserving version pins.
## What Changed
- Added shared request/result types and Zod validation for managed skill
rename requests.
- Added `POST /api/companies/:companyId/skills/:skillId/rename` with
`skills.edit` policy checks and `company.skill_renamed` activity
logging.
- Restricted renames to Paperclip-managed local skills and added slug,
key, and target-directory conflict handling.
- Moved the managed directory, rewrote only the `SKILL.md` frontmatter
name, updated the database row, and rolled filesystem changes back when
persistence fails.
- Rewrote assigned agents' desired-skill keys while preserving pinned
version IDs and removed stale runtime materialization.
- Added focused route and service coverage for success, no-op, name-only
changes, conflicts, unsupported sources, assignment rewrites,
rollback-sensitive behavior, and runtime cleanup.
- Rejected multiline rename names before they can inject extra
`SKILL.md` frontmatter fields.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-routes.test.ts` — 106 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
## Risks
- Filesystem and database updates cannot share one native transaction;
the service stages filesystem changes and explicitly restores the
original directory and markdown when the database transaction fails.
- Renames intentionally reject catalog, remote, project-scanned, and
unmanaged local skills to avoid changing identities owned by external
sources.
- No database migration is required; the endpoint updates existing
company-skill and agent configuration fields.

## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex coding agent (exact underlying model ID and
context-window size were not exposed to this runtime), with reasoning,
repository tool use, code execution, and test execution. The rescued
source commit also records assistance from Claude Opus 4.8.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The run-log store records each agent run's output and can mirror
completed logs to S3-compatible object storage
> - The mirror uploads only on finalize, so a server restart mid-run
loses the whole in-flight log
> - Deployments and crashes are routine on ephemeral hosts, and lost run
output makes failed runs impossible to debug
> - This pull request adds an opt-in throttled mirror for still-running
logs plus a graceful-shutdown flush
> - The benefit is that a restart mid-run keeps the log tail up to the
last mirror interval, and an orderly restart keeps everything
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists — describing the feature inline (per the feature
request template).
**Subsystem affected**
server/ — REST API & orchestration services
**Problem or motivation**
`RUN_LOG_S3_BUCKET` gives finished run logs durability, but the mirror
uploads only on finalize. A run that is still writing when the server
restarts leaves nothing in object storage. On hosts with ephemeral disks
the local file is gone too, so the run's output is lost end to end and
failed runs cannot be debugged.
**Proposed solution**
Mirror the in-flight log to the same object key on a throttled cadence
(`RUN_LOG_S3_INFLIGHT_MIRROR_SECONDS`), and flush dirty tails during
graceful shutdown. Keep it opt-in so existing deployments see zero new
upload traffic unless they ask for it.
**Alternatives considered**
Per-append uploads (rejected: one PUT per output chunk is hostile to S3
endpoints and run latency). Chunked part objects with read-time
stitching (rejected: complicates the read path, and S3 multipart minimum
part sizes do not fit small tails). Persistent volumes (rejected
upstream already: the data dir is deliberately an emptyDir in hardened
cloud_tenant deployments).
**Roadmap alignment**
Not on ROADMAP.md; extends the existing run-log durability mirror
without changing any default behavior.
**Additional context**
Ranged reads already serve partial objects like a live tail, so the read
path needs no change; finalize overwrites the mirror with the complete
file.
**Related PRs (dedup search):** the finalize-only S3 mirror landed
previously and this extends it; no duplicate or competing PR found for
in-flight run-log mirroring.
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/run-log-store.ts`: new opt-in `inflightMirrorMs`
on the S3 options (`RUN_LOG_S3_INFLIGHT_MIRROR_SECONDS` env). When set,
appends schedule at most one upload of the current file per interval, to
the same key finalize uses. Ranged reads already serve that key, so a
partial object behaves like a live tail and needs no read-path change.
Finalize retires the in-flight bookkeeping and waits out an upload
already on the wire, so a stale partial can never overwrite a finalized
log. Upload failures warn, re-mark the tail dirty, and retry at most
once per interval.
- `server/src/services/run-log-store.ts`: new `flushInflightMirrors()`
on the store and a module-level `flushInFlightRunLogMirrors()` for the
shutdown path. Both are no-ops when the mirror is off.
- `server/src/index.ts`: graceful shutdown flushes dirty in-flight tails
after the heartbeat run drain, so runs the drain did not finalize
(timeouts, the hot-restart skip path) still persist their output.
- `server/src/services/run-log-store.test.ts`: five new tests —
off-by-default (no uploads before finalize), tail preserved after a wipe
without finalize, throttle coalescing with a single flush upload,
finalize superseding the in-flight mirror and retiring its timer, and
upload failures never breaking appends with recovery on the next flush.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/services/run-log-store.test.ts` — 13
passed (8 existing + 5 new).
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-run-log.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-active-run-output-watchdog.test.ts` — 21
passed (consumers of the store, unchanged behavior).
- `pnpm -C server run typecheck` — clean.
- Self-hosted behavior is unchanged unless
`RUN_LOG_S3_INFLIGHT_MIRROR_SECONDS` is set: with the variable unset
there are zero new uploads and the finalize-only mirroring is
byte-identical (asserted by the off-by-default test).
## Risks
- Low. The feature is opt-in; unset env preserves today's behavior
exactly. When enabled, worst case is one extra PUT per interval per
active run, and every upload is best-effort — a failing endpoint warns
and never breaks appends, finalization, or shutdown. The finalize path
awaits any in-flight upload before writing the complete file, closing
the only overwrite race the design introduces. Timers are `unref`ed so
the mirror never keeps the process alive.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A company accumulates real state — issues, labels, blockers,
documents, work products, monitors, attachments, agents, routines — and
people need to move that state between instances: self-hosted to cloud,
cloud back to self-hosted, or plain backups
> - The experimental, flag-gated Cloud Sync transport (#6548) tried to
solve this host-to-host: the source pushed into a receiver over HTTPS
with a cross-instance consent/token handshake, which required the
destination to be publicly reachable and broke for common self-hosted
topologies (plain-HTTP LAN/VPN origins); the receiver half never landed
upstream at all
> - Meanwhile the portability bundle and the existing export/import
pages already move companies offline with none of those networking
constraints — but silently dropped labels, blockers, issue documents,
work products, monitors, and every attachment
> - This pull request removes the host-to-host transport and makes
Import/Export the single data-movement path: the pages become
first-class company-settings destinations, exports declare exactly what
they do not carry, and bundle schemaVersion 6 now carries all of the
above, with attachments as content-addressed sha256 blobs verified
before a single row is written
> - The benefit is a migration and backup flow that works between any
two instances with no reachability requirements, no cross-instance auth,
and no silent data loss
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Refs #6548 — the original Cloud Sync sender this PR supersedes and
removes.
- Related, not duplicates: #1697 (goals in the portability manifest —
orthogonal field addition), #954 (an earlier import/export +
skill-visibility proposal predating the current portability bundle).
- No open issue describes this directly, so in brief (feature-request
shape): **Problem** — moving a company between instances silently lost
labels (imports with label references actually hard-failed), blocker
relations, issue documents, work products, monitor state, and all
attachments, and the alternative Cloud Sync transport required the
destination to be publicly reachable over HTTPS plus a consent
handshake, which failed for typical self-hosted setups. **Desired
behavior** — one Import/Export flow in company settings that produces a
portable bundle carrying all of that data, tells the operator up front
what it cannot carry, imports with automations paused, and offers real
one-click activation afterwards.
## What Changed
- New export fidelity report (`GET
/api/companies/:companyId/export/fidelity`) + an "Export fidelity" panel
on the Export page listing anything a bundle will not include (now only:
approvals, cost history, activity history)
- Imports accept `pauseAutomations`; imported agents and routines land
paused, the import result reports created routines, and the Import page
ends in an activation panel that actually resumes selected
agents/activates routines
- Export and Import pages promoted into the company-settings nav; the
Cloud Upstream wizard, ux-lab page, and API client removed; the old
settings route redirects to Export
- Host-to-host transport removed: upstream-sync/receiver-client routes
and services, CLI `cloud connect`/`cloud push` + keypair store, the
shared upstream transfer contract, and the `enableCloudSync` flag;
migration `0196` drops the two experimental `cloud_upstream_*` sender
tables
- Bundle schemaVersion 6: labels (definitions + per-task names, remapped
by name on import), blocker relations (`blockedBy` slugs,
cycle-tolerant), issue documents (`tasks/<slug>/documents/<key>.md`),
work products (system refs nulled), monitors (notes/scheduledBy
restored, imported un-armed)
- Attachments travel as content-addressed `blobs/<sha256>` entries
(deduped; comment-scoped attachments re-link via comment index); every
blob is hash-verified **before any write**, so a corrupted bundle cannot
leave a partially imported company; both zip codecs now round-trip
extensionless/binary entries byte-exactly; the Import page preflights
the inline body limit and offers continue-without-attachments
- v5 (and older) bundles still import, with an informational warning;
bundles newer than v6 are rejected cleanly
- Docs: board-operator import/export guide, CLI README, README/ROADMAP
updated
## Verification
- `pnpm -r` typechecks (shared, db incl. migration numbering/safety
checks, server, ui, cli) and `pnpm check:token-gates` — clean
- Vitest: full server + shared sweep 4,888 passed / 1 skipped, with the
only 3 failures being pre-existing on `master` (2×
heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment, 1× workspace-runtime auto-port;
reproduced identically with this change stashed); ui + cli suites green;
the embedded-Postgres export-fidelity suite applies the full migration
chain including the new `0196` against a fresh database
- Live end-to-end on a scratch instance: seeded a company with labels, a
blocker pair, an issue document, a work product, a monitor, an agent, a
routine, and two binary attachments (one comment-scoped) → export →
import into a fresh company → labels remapped to new ids, blocker edge
and document restored, monitor un-armed with notes intact, attachments
byte-identical (sha256-compared through the API), agents/routines paused
→ activation panel resumed them; a v5-shaped bundle imported with only
the info warning; flipping one byte in a blob made the import 422 with
**zero** rows created
- Reviewer repro: create a company with a labeled issue + attachment →
Settings → Export → download → Settings → Import on another
company/instance → watch the preview, apply with "start paused", then
activate
## Risks
- Migration `0196` drops
`cloud_upstream_connections`/`cloud_upstream_runs` — experimental tables
behind a default-off flag; their connection/run history is intentionally
discarded
- Breaking removals are all of experimental, flag-gated surface:
`/api/upstream-sync/*` + `/api/cloud-upstreams/*` routes, `paperclipai
cloud connect|push`, and the `enableCloudSync` flag (stale keys in
stored instance settings parse harmlessly)
- Import remains non-atomic on mid-apply errors generally (pre-existing
behavior); the new blob verification specifically moved ahead of all
writes so tampered bundles cannot create partial state
- GitHub-sourced imports do not fetch `blobs/*` and skip attachments
with a warning
## Model Used
- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`, Anthropic), via Claude Code CLI with
extended thinking, tool use, and subagent orchestration; implementation
and review split across Fable 5 subagents, with live end-to-end
verification against a running instance

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agent work for a company
> - Workspace sync must keep one primary path and any referenced project
paths in step
> - A partial sync must not fail in silence
> - Operators also need a clear signal when the feature uses the new
default path
> - This pull request surfaces referenced-project warnings on the run
and turns the feature flag default on
> - The benefit is better visibility and a live multi-project sync path
by default
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This pull request completes the multi-project workspace sync go-live
work.
Related pull requests:
- Refs: #10380
- Refs: #10448
- Refs: #10469
## What Changed
- Surface referenced-project warnings on the run when a project drops
during authorization or resolution.
- Record a structured failure reason for each dropped referenced
project.
- Emit one structured log line at run preparation with the requested
count, the synced count, and the failure reasons.
- Flip the workspace sync kill-switch default to on when the env value
is unset.
- Keep the primary workspace path unchanged.
## Verification
- `tsc --noEmit` passed in the server package.
- `heartbeat-referenced-projects.test.ts` and
`heartbeat-project-env.test.ts` passed.
- `workspace-runtime.test.ts` passed.
- `adapter-utils` runtime tests passed for sandbox, command, remote, and
file sync paths.
## Risks
- The new default can expose the feature to more runs if an operator
does not set the env override.
- The new surfaced warnings can change operator visible run output.
- The structured log line can add noise if a run has many referenced
project failures.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Plugin workers connect Paperclip to external runtimes and sandbox
providers.
> - Some adapter heartbeats run a full sandbox session inside one
`environmentExecute` RPC.
> - The worker manager limited every RPC timeout to 15 minutes, even
when the caller gave a longer timeout.

honors explicit caller timeouts.
> - The benefit is that long sandboxed agent sessions can continue past
15 minutes while other safety guards still bound hung work.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this bug.
### Bug Report
Pre-submission checklist:
- Searched existing open and closed issues and did not find a duplicate.
- Confirmed the bug is reproducible on `master` from the current source
tree.
- Confirmed the error starts in Paperclip timeout handling, not in an
adapter provider or local configuration.
What happened?
- A sandbox-backed adapter heartbeat can run a full agent session inside
one `environmentExecute` plugin RPC.
- The plugin worker manager capped every RPC timeout at 15 minutes.
- The cap also applied when the caller passed a longer explicit timeout
for an execute-style call.
- A long sandbox command could fail before the adapter budget expired.
Expected behavior:
- Ordinary plugin RPC calls should keep the normal 30-second default
timeout.
- The default timeout path should still have a 15-minute maximum.
- A caller-supplied positive finite timeout should be honored, including
values above 15 minutes.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Use a plugin environment driver that calls `environmentExecute` with
an explicit timeout above 15 minutes.
2. Run a command that stays active longer than 15 minutes and remains
inside the adapter budget.
3. Observe that the worker manager times out the RPC at 15 minutes
before this fix.
4. Run the same path after this fix and observe that the explicit
timeout is used.
Paperclip version or commit:
- Reproduced from the current `master` line before this change.
Deployment mode:
- Local dev or self-hosted server with sandbox-backed execution.
Installation method:
- Built from source.
Agent adapter(s) involved:
- Codex.
- Custom or external plugin adapter.
- Core plugin worker timeout handling.
Database mode:
- Not database-related.
Access context:
- Agent execution context.
Node.js version:
- Not version-specific.
Operating system:
- Not OS-specific.
Relevant logs or output:
```shell
RPC call "environmentExecute" timed out after 900000ms
```
Relevant config:
- Not config-related.
Additional context:
- Execute-style sandbox calls already have adapter inactivity monitors,
platform silent-run checks, and provider command timeouts. This PR
removes the unintended worker-manager clamp only for explicit positive
finite caller timeouts.
Privacy checklist:
- Reviewed all pasted output for PII, user paths, API keys, tokens,
company names, and internal instance links.
Duplicate search:
- Searched open PRs and open issues in `paperclipai/paperclip` for
`environmentExecute timeout`, `MAX_RPC_TIMEOUT_MS`, and
`plugin-worker-manager timeout`.
- Searched the same terms in `HenkDz/paperclip`.
- Found no matching open PRs or issues.
- Compared this patch-id against my open PRs in `paperclipai/paperclip`;
no match was found.
## What Changed
- Added `resolveRpcCallTimeoutMs()` to keep explicit positive finite
timeouts intact.
- Kept the 15-minute maximum only for the default timeout path.
- Updated `callInternal()` to use the new resolver.
- Added unit tests for explicit long timeouts, default timeout clamping,
fractional values, and invalid explicit values.
- Clarified why notification invocation scopes still use the 15-minute
TTL.
## Verification
- `corepack pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- `corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk ensure-build-deps`
- `corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/plugin-worker-manager.test.ts`
- `corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit`
- `git diff --check 9574cad3e8 HEAD`
- GitHub PR checks on `bf7bfd0d`: all passing; Storybook visual
regression skipped by workflow.
- Greptile on `bf7bfd0d`: 5/5, no blocking failure remains; prior P2
thread resolved.
## Risks
Low risk. The change affects RPC timeout resolution in the plugin worker
manager. Ordinary plugin calls still use the 30-second default and the
default path is still capped at 15 minutes. Callers that pass explicit
long timeouts now own that budget. Adapter inactivity monitors and
platform silent-run safety checks still bound hung runs.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-based coding agent, with shell and GitHub CLI tool
use.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip coordinates work for autonomous companies.
> - A run needs a workspace view before execution starts.
> - That view now needs to cover one anchor project and more referenced
projects.
> - Those extra workspaces must stay separate and must not change the
anchor path when the feature stays off.
> - This PR threads plural workspace data through run prep behind a
default-off kill switch.
> - It also keeps extra project workspaces isolated and makes the
realization contract round-trip the new shape.
> - The benefit is safer run prep for referenced projects without
changing the current default path.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This PR does not link a public GitHub issue.
It follows the internal run-prep task for plural referenced-project
workspaces.
Problem:
- Run prep resolves the anchor project today, but it does not yet carry
each referenced project into the run workspace view.
- That gap blocks runs that need a second repo or sibling project during
preparation.
Proposed solution:
- Thread a plural workspace result through run prep.
- Keep the anchor path unchanged when the kill switch is off.
- Resolve each referenced project into its own managed checkout
directory when the flag is on.
Alternatives considered:
- Keep one shared workspace and layer the extra repos into it. Rejected
because it would blur isolation and make failures harder to bound.
- Upload the extra workspaces immediately. Rejected because this PR only
prepares the data path.
Roadmap alignment:
- This change sits in the workspace and sandbox path.
- It matches the roadmap work on workspace strategy and cloud or sandbox
agents.
## What Changed
- Added `additionalWorkspaces[]` to the run workspace result.
- Split workspace resolution into an anchor path and an optional
referenced-project path behind `PAPERCLIP_MULTI_PROJECT_WORKSPACE_SYNC`.
- Kept per-project failure isolation so one bad clone does not stop the
run.
- Keyed managed workspace directories by `projectId` so sibling
workspaces stay separate.
- Added `additionalSources[]` to the workspace realization request and
kept read and write paths backward compatible.
- Added tests for the anchor-only path, the new workspace shape, and the
per-project directory rule.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server run typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared run typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-project-env.test.ts` 21/21
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts` 98/98
## Risks
Low risk. The new path stays behind a default-off kill switch, so the
anchor flow does not change when the flag is off.
The main risk is a bad referenced project clone. That case now drops
only the affected project and keeps the run alive.
The shared type change also needs every consumer to use the new array
field where extra workspaces matter.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip uses heartbeats to run work.
> - Test suites share heartbeat run state during teardown.
> - Late heartbeat work can race shared table deletes.
> - That race can deadlock or fail foreign key checks.
> - The primary suite already uses a drain helper to wait for

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #10450
This pull request reuses the quiescence drain from the primary suite.
## What Changed
- Added `server/src/__tests__/helpers/drain-heartbeat-runs.ts`.
- Reused the shared helper in `low-trust-red-team-routes.test.ts`.
- Applied the drain to the eight sibling suites that share the race.
- Kept the existing test intent unchanged.
## Verification
- `git log --oneline
origin/master..origin/test/heartbeat-teardown-quiescence-drain-sweep`
- `git diff --stat
origin/master...origin/test/heartbeat-teardown-quiescence-drain-sweep`
- Existing local test evidence in the handoff shows the primary suite
and the guarded suites pass.
- The handoff also records a stress loop with no `40P01` or `23503`
errors.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change touches test teardown only.
- The helper waits for active runs to drain. A new real background
execution path may need the same guard.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5, tool-use and code execution enabled.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The sandbox exec path starts agent commands and passes runtime
options to the server and plugin layers
> - This path kept a noProfile flag after the exec wrappers stopped
sourcing a login profile
> - The flag no longer changed behavior, so it left dead API surface in
the protocol and runtime helpers
> - This pull request removes that dead flag from the plugin protocol,
the server drivers, and the managed-runtime helpers

sandbox requirements file
> - The benefit is a smaller and clearer exec-path contract with no
behavior change
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- No public GitHub issue exists.
### What happened?
The sandbox exec path kept a `noProfile` field after the exec wrappers
stopped sourcing a login profile.
### Expected behavior
The plugin protocol, server drivers, and managed-runtime helpers should
not expose or forward a dead field.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Run a managed-runtime command through the sandbox exec path.
2. Inspect the protocol payload and runtime helper inputs.
3. Observe that `noProfile` is present even though it no longer changes
behavior.
### Paperclip version or commit
`60c7da86fc7a6c1dbf37bbcd86e25ecaaff01607`
### Deployment mode
Built from source (pnpm dev / pnpm build)
### Additional context
This pull request removes the dead field, updates the affected tests,
and updates the README note for the sandbox profile path.
## What Changed
- Removed noProfile from the plugin protocol and the server exec-path
call sites.
- Updated the managed-runtime helpers to use the narrower exec-path
contract.
- Updated the affected tests and added the README pointer to
SANDBOX-REQUIREMENTS.md.
## Verification
- `git grep -n "noProfile" -- packages/ server/` returns zero matches.
- `tsc --noEmit` passed for `@paperclipai/adapter-utils`,
`@paperclipai/plugin-sdk`, and `@paperclipai/server`.
- `command-managed-runtime.test.ts` passed: 22/22.
- `environment-runtime.test.ts` passed: 24/24.
## Risks
- Low risk. The flag was already a no-op.
- A hidden external caller may still send the removed field.
## Model Used
- OpenAI GPT-5, tool-enabled.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip can run an agent in a remote-managed environment, such as
a sandbox provider or an SSH host.
> - The server resolves an execution target for each run. The resolver
kept its own hardcoded list of allowed adapters.
> - The shared capability metadata in
`packages/shared/src/environment-support.ts` already defines which
adapters support remote-managed environments. The environment selector
and the capabilities API use it.
> - The two lists drifted. The UI offered sandbox environments to Grok
Build (`grok_local`) agents, but the resolver refused them at run time.
> - This pull request makes the resolver use the shared capability check
for both the sandbox gate and the SSH gate.
> - The benefit is one source of truth. The UI and the runtime now agree
on which adapters can use remote-managed environments.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this bug. Inline description per the
bug report template:
**What happened?**
A Grok Build (`grok_local`) agent was assigned a sandbox environment (a
Daytona provider). The UI allowed the assignment. Every run and
primary-model test then failed with the warning: `Adapter "grok_local"
is not allowed in "<environment>" environments.`
**Expected behavior**
An adapter that the environment selector offers for a sandbox
environment must also pass the runtime gate. The Grok Build run must
start in the sandbox.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a sandbox environment (for example, with a Daytona provider
plugin).
2. Create an agent that uses the `grok_local` adapter.
3. Set the agent's environment to the sandbox environment. The UI
accepts this.
4. Run the agent, or run the primary-model test. The run fails with the
adapter-not-allowed warning.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced on `master` at `0edb742f8d`.
**Deployment mode**
Local instance with a remote sandbox provider plugin. The same gate also
applies to SSH environments.
## What Changed
- `resolveEnvironmentExecutionTarget` in
`server/src/services/environment-execution-target.ts` now gates the
sandbox path with the shared
`adapterSupportsRemoteManagedEnvironments()` helper. Before, it used a
hardcoded six-adapter list that did not include `grok_local`.
- The SSH path in the same file now uses the same shared helper.
- New regression tests in
`server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target.test.ts`: sandbox
target resolution for every remote-managed adapter (including
`grok_local`), SSH target resolution for `grok_local`, and the null path
for an adapter without remote-managed support.
## Verification
- Run `node_modules/.bin/vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target.test.ts`. All 10 tests
pass, including the 3 new ones.
- Confirm `grok_local` is in the `REMOTE_MANAGED_ADAPTERS` set in
`packages/shared/src/environment-support.ts`. The resolver now reads the
same set.
- On a live local instance with this fix, a `grok_local` agent assigned
to a Daytona sandbox environment no longer produces the
adapter-not-allowed warning.
## Risks
Low risk. The change routes two hardcoded checks through existing shared
capability metadata. Behavior changes only where the lists had drifted:
`grok_local`, and any future adapter added to the shared set, can now
resolve sandbox and SSH execution targets. Adapters outside the shared
set still return `null`.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Managed deployments can auto-provision bundled sandbox-provider
plugins so cloud or remote execution environments appear in the board UI
> - In a multi-service deployment, several server processes can share
one database and boot concurrently
> - A sibling process can create a bundled plugin row while the web
process sees it before it reaches `ready`
> - The web process correctly avoids clobbering the existing row, but
its startup `loadAll()` can miss the plugin and never start that worker
locally
> - The environments capabilities route then filters out the sandbox
provider because the plugin is ready in the database but not running in
the web process
> - This pull request adds a narrow managed-bundle recovery path that
lazily starts the missing worker when the capabilities route sees a
ready managed bundled plugin
> - The benefit is that the sandbox provider becomes visible after the
install finishes, without requiring a web-process restart
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- No public GitHub issue found for this exact deployment race.
- Related broad plugin runtime context: Refs #432.
Bug description:
- What happened: in a managed multi-service deployment with shared
database state and bundled plugin auto-install enabled, the API-serving
process can skip a plugin row while it is still `installed`, run startup
plugin loading before that row becomes `ready`, and then permanently
omit the sandbox provider from environment capabilities.
- Expected behavior: once the managed bundled plugin row reaches
`ready`, the API-serving process should be able to start the plugin
worker and include its sandbox provider without a restart.
- Steps to reproduce: boot a web process and a sibling worker process
concurrently; have the sibling create the bundled plugin row and
transition it to `ready` after the web process has already skipped
auto-install and run `loadAll()`.
- Deployment mode: managed multi-service deployment with shared database
state and `plugins.autoInstall` configured.
## What Changed
- Added a managed bundled plugin worker recovery helper that
single-flights lazy `loadSingle()` starts and only allows configured
managed bundled plugin keys.
- Passed the managed recovery hook into the environments capabilities
route.
- Updated `listReadyPluginEnvironmentDrivers()` to attempt bounded
recovery for ready managed bundled plugins whose worker is missing in
the current process, and only for plugins that actually declare a
`sandbox_provider` environment driver.
- Made request-time recovery use `loadSingle(id, { markErrorOnFailure:
false })` so a local activation failure in one process never transitions
the shared plugin row to `error` (a sibling process may be running the
plugin successfully).
- When error writes are suppressed and activation fails after the worker
was spawned, the loader now tears down the partially-registered local
runtime (scheduler registration, event subscriptions, agent tools,
worker process) instead of leaving a half-activated worker lingering;
the teardown steps are factored out of `unloadSingle()` into a shared
helper.
- A failed recovery attempt now discards the crashed/stopped handle it
left registered in the worker manager (a worker that dies during
initialize is killed without a scheduled restart), so later capability
requests can retry recovery instead of being blocked by the
handle-presence gate until a process restart. Handles in
starting/running/backoff states are left to the worker manager's own
lifecycle; recovery only ever starts when no handle existed, so no
pre-existing worker can be affected.
- Added a regression test suite covering the installed-to-ready race,
allowlist behavior, the driver-kind gate, existing worker handles,
concurrent single-flight recovery, bounded slow recovery attempts,
suppressed shared error-state writes, partial-runtime teardown on late
activation failure, and retry after a dead handle is discarded.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
src/__tests__/plugin-environment-driver-ready-recovery.test.ts` (in
`server/`) passed: 10 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passed.
## Risks
- Low risk for self-hosted single-process deployments because lazy
recovery is only wired when managed plugin auto-install config is
present; with no managed config the capabilities route takes the exact
pre-change code path.
- The capabilities route can wait briefly while attempting recovery; the
attempt is bounded and defaults to 2 seconds.
- Failed recovery keeps the prior behavior of omitting the provider
until a later successful worker start, and now also cleans up any
partially-started local worker so retries begin from a clean slate.
## Model Used
- Initial implementation: OpenAI GPT-5 via Codex local coding agent,
with repository tool use and command execution.
- Review-feedback follow-ups (driver-kind gate, partial-runtime
teardown, expanded regression tests): Claude Fable 5 (claude-fable-5)
via Claude Code, with repository tool use and command execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip manages AI work through tasks, comments, and heartbeats
> - A heartbeat wake can register after a test body ends
> - The low-trust red-team route suite tears down data while that wake
can still run
> - Teardown can then lock `issues` and `heartbeat_runs` in opposite
order and deadlock
> - This pull request adds a drain that waits for heartbeat runs to
reach quiescence before teardown
> - The benefit is stable test teardown without removing coverage
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
The serialized low-trust red-team route suite can deadlock in
`afterEach` teardown.
A heartbeat wake can register after the test body ends.
Teardown can then delete `heartbeat_runs` while the wake still writes
issue tables.
This change waits until no run is queued or running before any delete.
## What Changed
- Added `drainHeartbeatRunsToQuiescence` for test teardown.
- Called the drain first in the low-trust red-team route suite
`afterEach` path.
- Kept the change test-teardown only.
## Verification
- The author handoff reports `tsc -p server/tsconfig.json --noEmit` as
clean.
- The author handoff reports 60 of 60 stress-loop runs with zero
deadlocks.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` could not run here
because this workspace lacks `node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc`.
## Risks
- Low risk.
- The change only affects test teardown.
- If a wake never reaches registration, the drain can wait longer than
expected.
- The loop re-checks the run table until no run is queued or running.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5, tool-use, 256k context.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip keeps server tests that protect run-prep and issue service
behavior
> - The issue service test file now mixes issue service tests with
heartbeat run-prep tests
> - That mix makes the file harder to scan and harder to keep focused
> - The run-prep suites belong with the other heartbeat tests
> - This pull request moves those suites into
`heartbeat-referenced-projects.test.ts`
> - The benefit is a smaller issue service test file and a clearer home
for heartbeat tests
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This PR has no public GitHub issue. It moves the referenced-project
run-prep suites into a dedicated heartbeat test file. The issue service
test file keeps only issue service tests.
## What Changed
- Moved the `resolveRunReferencedProjects` suite into
`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-referenced-projects.test.ts`
- Moved the multi-project workspace sync kill-switch test into the same
file
- Left `server/src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts` with issue service
coverage only
## Verification
- `pnpm exec tsc --noEmit`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-referenced-projects.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts`
- `git log --oneline origin/master..HEAD` shows one commit
- `git diff --stat origin/master...HEAD` shows only the two test files
## Risks
- Low risk. This change moves tests only and does not change product
code.
## Model Used

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for autonomous AI companies
> - Run prep needs to know which referenced projects belong in a run
without breaking company boundaries
> - The anchor project must keep its existing authorization path, while
additional mentioned projects must be checked independently and fail
closed if access is denied or unknown
> - This pull request adds a helper that computes the deduped,
company-scoped referenced-project set for run prep and warns when a
project is rejected
> - It also introduces an off-by-default kill-switch so downstream
consumers can adopt the set safely
> - The benefit is safer multi-project run preparation without widening
access beyond what the run actor is already allowed to read
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This PR does not rely on a public GitHub issue. The change is
self-contained and follows the feature-request style description below
so reviewers can evaluate it without leaving the PR.
**Problem / motivation**
- Run prep needs to assemble a referenced-project set that includes the
anchor project plus additional @-mentioned projects.
- Additional projects must be authorized independently and rejected
projects must not widen access.
- The result should be safe to merge inertly behind a default-off
kill-switch until downstream consumers opt in.
**Proposed solution**
- Add `resolveRunReferencedProjects(issueId, anchorProjectId, opts)` in
`server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`.
- Compute a deduped company-scoped set with the anchor project first and
additional mentions admitted only after a fail-closed `project:read`
authorization check.
- Drop missing, foreign-company, denied, or errored projects and append
run warnings when they are rejected.
- Keep the feature inert behind a default-off kill-switch until
downstream workspace resolution is wired to consume it.
**Alternatives considered**
- Reusing company membership alone was rejected because it would
over-admit projects and widen access.
- Including all mentioned projects without per-project authorization was
rejected because it would bypass the existing access model.
**Roadmap alignment**
- This is Phase 1 only: the helper is computed but not yet consumed
downstream, so the merge is inert until a later phase turns the flag on.
## What Changed
- Added `resolveRunReferencedProjects(issueId, anchorProjectId, opts)`
in `server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`.
- Enforced company scoping, deduplication, fail-closed authorization,
and warning emission for additional referenced projects.
- Added a configurable cap for the additional referenced-project set.
- Added tests covering allowed, denied, foreign-company, thrown-auth,
dedupe, and overflow cases.
- Added a default-off kill-switch for downstream consumption of the
computed set.
## Verification
- `tsc --noEmit`
- `server/src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts` now passes 117/117
- `git log --oneline origin/master..HEAD` shows only the expected single
commit on this branch
## Risks
- The new helper is computed but not yet consumed by workspace
resolution, so behavior only changes once downstream code is wired to
it.
- The authorization path for additional referenced projects is stricter
than before, so any unexpected access gap will surface as a dropped
project plus warning.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool-use enabled, 128k context.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The CI workflow is responsible for producing and publishing the
Docker images that power Paperclip deployments
> - The cloud image publish was previously coupled to the stock publish
job, so a failure or delay in one path could gate the other
> - That coupling makes the release pipeline less resilient than it
needs to be
> - This pull request gives the cloud publish its own top-level job so
both publishes can run in parallel without a `needs:` dependency
> - The benefit is better failure isolation and less wasted time when
one publish path is slow or broken
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue was found for this change.
Problem statement:
- The cloud image publish was implemented as trailing work inside the
stock publish job.
- That setup meant the cloud publish could be delayed or skipped if the
stock job failed early.
- The desired behavior is for the cloud publish to run independently so
a failure in one publish path does not gate the other.
Proposed solution:
- Split the cloud publish into its own top-level workflow job.
- Keep the same cloud-specific build settings and cache behavior.
- Preserve the existing top-level concurrency behavior.
Alternatives considered:
- Keeping both publishes in one job with conditionals or later steps.
Rejected because it still couples success and runtime between the two
publish paths.
## What Changed
- Split the cloud image publish into a separate top-level Docker
workflow job.
- Removed the dependency coupling so the cloud job does not need the
stock job.
- Expanded the drift-guard test to assert the two-job structure and the
absence of `needs:` on the cloud job.
## Verification
- The workflow YAML was parsed successfully and confirmed to contain two
jobs: `build-and-push` and `build-and-push-cloud`.
- The cloud job was confirmed to have no `needs:` entry.
- The drift-guard assertions were reproduced in a dependency-free
harness and passed.
- PR #10408 completed GitHub Actions with all required checks green,
including the e2e shards.
- Greptile review completed at 5/5 with no unresolved comments.
- No documentation files changed because this is a workflow/test-only
change.
## Risks
- The workflow now duplicates the prep steps across two runners, so any
shared setup change must be kept in sync between both jobs.
- The new job increases workflow surface area slightly, which can make
future maintenance more verbose.
- Overall risk is low because the change is limited to CI orchestration
and test coverage.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The repository uses GitHub Actions workflows to build and publish
Docker images
> - A workflow-level concurrency policy controls whether newer pushes
cancel in-flight builds
> - The current job-level setting can cancel a running image build
before it finishes publishing
> - That leaves the Docker image pipeline brittle when a new push
arrives during an active publish
> - This pull request moves concurrency to the workflow level and
disables cancel-in-progress so running builds finish
> - The benefit is that only pending work is superseded, while a build
already publishing is allowed to complete
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this change. This PR addresses the
Docker workflow concurrency behavior directly: it ensures in-flight
image builds are not cancelled by newer pushes, while still serializing
builds per ref.
## What Changed
- Moved the Docker workflow concurrency block from the job level to the
workflow level.
- Set `cancel-in-progress: false` so an active build can finish
publishing.
- Added a drift-guard test that parses `.github/workflows/docker.yml`
and asserts the workflow-level concurrency policy remains `false`.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/cloud-image-bundled-plugins.test.ts`
- `python3 -c "import yaml;
yaml.safe_load(open('.github/workflows/docker.yml'))"`
- Verified the fetched remote branch contains a single commit on top of
`origin/master`.
- Searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and issues; none found.
- Checked `ROADMAP.md` and did not find overlapping planned core work.
## Risks
- Low risk: the change is limited to workflow concurrency behavior and a
targeted test assertion.
- If the workflow concurrency key is changed later, the drift-guard test
will fail and require an update.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents pick their model from a dropdown in agent config, populated
per-adapter by `listAdapterModels()` → each adapter's live provider
catalog merged over a static fallback list
> - For `claude_local`, newer model ids only reach the dropdown via the
live Anthropic `/v1/models` fetch, which needs a server
`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, a <5s round-trip, non-Bedrock mode, and account
entitlement; on any miss it silently falls back to the static `models`
array
> - Claude Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5`) is generally available — Anthropic
lists it as the recommended model for complex agentic coding and
enterprise work — but it was absent from that static fallback, so it
appeared only when live discovery happened to succeed
> - This pull request adds `claude-opus-5` to the `claude_local` static
model list so it is selectable regardless of the live-discovery path
> - The benefit is a consistent, reliable dropdown that surfaces the
current GA Opus flagship without depending on a flaky live fetch
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue. The bug is described inline following the
bug-report template:
**What happened**
The `claude_local` agent-config model dropdown omitted Claude Opus 5.
`claude-opus-5` was missing from the adapter's static fallback `models`
array (`packages/adapters/claude-local/src/index.ts`), so it only
surfaced when the live Anthropic `/v1/models` discovery happened to
succeed.
**Expected behavior**
Claude Opus 5 is a shipped, generally-available flagship (Anthropic's
recommended model for agentic coding) and should always be selectable in
the dropdown, independent of whether live discovery succeeds.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the server without a working live Anthropic `/v1/models` path (no
`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, Bedrock mode, a discovery timeout, or a cache
miss).
2. Open agent config for a `claude_local` agent and inspect the model
dropdown.
3. Observe that `claude-opus-5` is absent because the static fallback
list omitted it.
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted / local adapter (`claude_local`); the server process reads
`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` from its environment.
## What Changed
- Added `{ id: "claude-opus-5", label: "Claude Opus 5" }` to the
`claude_local` static `models` fallback. Placed after the current
5-family entries and above the legacy `claude-opus-4-7`, so
`claude-opus-4-8` stays the default (index 0) option.
- Added an explicit regression assertion in
`server/src/__tests__/adapter-models.test.ts` that `claude-opus-5` is
present in the `claude_local` fallback when live discovery is
unavailable.
## Verification
- `pnpm -C server exec vitest run src/__tests__/adapter-models.test.ts`
— **17/17 pass**, including the new `claude-opus-5` assertion and the
existing `models[0] === "claude-opus-4-8"` default invariant (unaffected
— Opus 5 is inserted lower in the list).
- Change is a single static-data addition plus a test assertion; no
control-flow change.
## Risks
- Low risk. Pure additive change to a fallback list; no control-flow
change. Worst case is an id a given account isn't entitled to, which the
existing "current"/manual-model UI paths already tolerate.
- Note for reviewers: a sibling PR adds `claude-sonnet-5` to the same
static array (near `claude-opus-4-8`). Both are complementary "refresh
the static list to current GA" changes; whichever merges second may need
a one-line merge resolution in
`packages/adapters/claude-local/src/index.ts` and the matching test
assertion block.
## Model Used
Claude (Anthropic), model id `claude-opus-4-8` (Opus 4.8), extended
thinking + tool use, run as the Paperclip CTO agent.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage AI
agents for work
> - The `codex_local` adapter runs OpenAI's Codex CLI through direct CLI
and ACP execution lanes
> - The adapter defaulted to the bare `gpt-5.6` alias while the bundled
ACP Codex version lacked GPT-5.6-family metadata
> - Default and legacy-configured runs therefore emitted
fallback-metadata warnings and could use generic context limits
> - This pull request upgrades the bundled Codex ACP dependency, selects
the concrete `gpt-5.6-sol` model, and normalizes the legacy alias in
both execution lanes
> - The benefit is correct model metadata without hiding genuine stderr
or transcript warnings
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related public PRs: Refs #9342, Refs #9352, and Refs #9382. This PR is
narrower: it upgrades bundled Codex metadata and normalizes the legacy
bare alias in both execution lanes.
**Bug report**
### What happened
Default `codex_local` runs, and agents still configured with the bare
`gpt-5.6` model, print a model-metadata fallback warning and use generic
context-window limits.
Root cause: the ACP lane bundled a Codex release predating
GPT-5.6-family metadata, while Paperclip's default and advertised model
used the bare `gpt-5.6` alias for which Codex publishes no metadata.
### Expected behavior
A default Codex run resolves to a concrete model slug with published
metadata and does not emit a fallback-metadata warning.
### Deployment mode
Self-hosted/local `codex_local` adapter.
## What Changed
- Upgraded `@agentclientprotocol/codex-acp` from `^1.1.0` to `^1.1.4`
- Changed `DEFAULT_CODEX_LOCAL_MODEL` from `gpt-5.6` to `gpt-5.6-sol`
- Removed the bare alias from advertised models and listed concrete
GPT-5.6 Fast-mode variants
- Added `normalizeCodexModel()` and applied it in both CLI and ACP
execution lanes
- Updated adapter docs, Storybook fixtures, and regression tests
- Preserved warning visibility; no stderr, transcript, or log filtering
changed
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `cd packages/adapters/codex-local && pnpm exec vitest run` — 205 tests
passed
- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/adapter-models.test.ts` — 17 tests passed
- Confirmed the PR diff excludes `pnpm-lock.yaml` and
`.github/workflows/**` as required by repository policy
- Confirmed `.github/workflows/pr.yml` regenerates and uploads the PR
lockfile artifact before downstream `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
steps
## Risks
Low risk. The behavior change is scoped to `codex_local` model
selection. Existing concrete model IDs pass through unchanged; only the
legacy bare `gpt-5.6` alias is rewritten. Dependency resolution may
select a newer compatible `codex-acp` release within the declared range,
so CI remains the final compatibility gate.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Every company is auto-provisioned a set of built-in agents (e.g. the
Summarizer), and a startup reconciler keeps that set correct across
every company on boot.
> - Provisioning marks these agents with
`metadata.paperclipBuiltInAgent.key`, but nothing in the database
enforced one active agent per `(company, key)` —
`provision()`/`ensure()` did a check-then-insert with no guard.
> - Two concurrent server processes (e.g. a `tsx watch` double-boot)
could both read "no summarizer exists" and both insert, leaving a
company with duplicate built-in agents plus paired orphan pending
`hire_agent` approvals.
> - That data blemish then became a recurring outage: `findSingleAgent`
throws on >1 marked row, and because the throw escaped
`reconcileBuiltInAgentsOnStartup`'s sequential loop, **every company
after the affected one was silently skipped** on each boot — no
auto-provisioning, no default grants — until manual DB surgery.
> - This pull request closes the race at the database level and makes
reconciliation self-healing and fault-isolated.
> - The benefit is that concurrent provisioning can no longer create
duplicates, and even pre-existing duplicates are resolved automatically
instead of bricking startup reconciliation for unrelated companies.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- [x] I searched the GitHub PR list (open and recently closed) for
similar PRs and confirmed this is not a duplicate.
No public GitHub issue exists; describing the bug in-PR (bug-report
shape):
**What happened**
A dev instance booted with two concurrent server processes. Both ran
built-in agent provisioning for the same company at the same time, and
the check-then-insert in `provision()`/`ensure()`
(`server/src/services/built-in-agents.ts`) let both writers see "no
summarizer exists" and each create one — the company ended up with two
identical Summarizer agents (identical `paperclipBuiltInAgent` markers)
plus two paired pending `hire_agent` approvals.
From then on, **every** server boot logged:
```
ERROR: startup reconciliation of built-in agents failed
Multiple built-in agents found for summarizer (built_in_agent_duplicate_instance)
```
because `findSingleAgent` throws on >1 marked row rather than resolving
the duplicate. Worse, `reconcileBuiltInAgentsOnStartup` loops companies
sequentially and the throw escaped the loop, so every company *after*
the affected one was silently skipped on every boot.
**Expected behavior**
1. Concurrent provisioning must not create duplicate built-in agents
(there was no DB uniqueness constraint on the marker key per company).
2. Reconciliation should be resilient: if duplicates exist anyway,
self-heal (keep the oldest row, terminate the newer dupe, cancel its
orphan pending `hire_agent` approval), and never let one bad company
abort reconciliation for the rest.
**Steps to reproduce**
- Race two `provision(companyId, "summarizer")` calls for a company with
board approval for new agents enabled (or simulate a double-boot); both
insert.
- Restart the server → startup reconciliation error fires, companies
later in the loop are never reconciled.
## What Changed
**Part 1 — stop creating duplicates**
- Migration `0192_built_in_agent_unique_marker` adds a **partial unique
index** on `(company_id, metadata->'paperclipBuiltInAgent'->>'key')`
where the marker exists and `status != 'terminated'`. It first resolves
any pre-existing duplicates (keep oldest by `created_at`, terminate
newer dupes, cancel their orphan pending `hire_agent` approvals, revoke
their API keys) so the index can be created on already-affected
instances.
- `provision()`/`ensure()` now catch the losing race's `23505` unique
violation (walking the driver's wrapped cause chain) and re-resolve to
the winning row instead of surfacing the error.
**Part 2 — resilient reconciliation**
- `findSingleAgent` self-heals: keeps the oldest marked row, terminates
the newer duplicates, and cancels each one's orphan pending `hire_agent`
approval (idempotent) instead of throwing.
- `reconcileBuiltInAgentsOnStartup` isolates per-company failures in
both loops so one bad company can't abort reconciliation for the rest;
it surfaces a `companyFailures` count in the startup log.
- Adds `approvalService.cancel()` for system-initiated cancellation of
an orphan approval.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db run check:migrations` → numbering +
safety checks pass.
- `packages/db` migration test (real embedded Postgres) — seeds
pre-index duplicate state, runs the migration, asserts dupes resolved +
index enforced: **1 passed**.
- `server` `built-in-agents.test.ts` — self-heal, concurrent races
(plain and board-gated), and startup
self-heal-without-aborting-later-companies: **34 passed**.
```
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db exec vitest run src/built-in-agent-unique-marker-migration.test.ts
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run src/__tests__/built-in-agents.test.ts
```
## Risks
- **Migration safety**: the migration mutates data (terminates duplicate
rows, cancels their orphan pending approvals, revokes their API keys)
before creating the index. It keeps the oldest row per `(company, key)`
and only touches non-terminated marked rows; the destructive step is
covered by the migration test and the safety-check baseline. On a clean
instance it is a no-op cleanup followed by `CREATE UNIQUE INDEX IF NOT
EXISTS`.
- Otherwise low risk: the unique index is partial (excludes terminated
rows, so re-provisioning after a termination stays possible), and the
conflict handling degrades gracefully to re-resolving the existing
winner.
## Model Used
Claude Opus 4.8 (`claude-opus-4-8`), 1M context window, extended
thinking, with tool use.
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents execute in environments; sandbox provider plugins (Daytona,
Modal, e2b, …) declare their config via a JSON schema, with credentials
marked `format: "secret-ref"`
> - The environments UI renders those fields with a secret picker that
submits `{ type: "secret_ref", secretId, version }` binding objects,
while the server-side environment config paths only understood raw
string values and bare secret-id strings
> - The binding object reached the plugin worker's
`environmentValidateConfig` untouched; plugins parse non-string config
values as absent, so saving or testing an environment with a
picker-bound secret always failed validation (e.g. "Daytona sandbox
environments require an API key in config or DAYTONA_API_KEY.", "Modal
sandbox environments require tokenId and tokenSecret.")
> - Worse, an environment first saved with raw pasted values becomes
uneditable: the stored value is a secret reference, the edit form
re-submits it as a binding object, and every subsequent save fails the
same way
> - This pull request canonicalizes binding objects to the bare secret
id before plugin validation, and teaches the persistence/runtime/probe
secret-ref resolvers to accept the object shape defensively
> - The benefit is that picker-bound secrets work for every
schema-driven sandbox provider — create, edit, and Test — with no plugin
changes required
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#10105
The same failure reproduces with the Daytona provider: Settings →
Instance settings → Environments → New, driver sandbox, provider
daytona, bind Api Key to an existing secret via the picker → Save fails
with "Daytona sandbox environments require an API key in config or
DAYTONA_API_KEY."
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/json-schema-secret-refs.ts`: new
`parseSecretRefBindingObject()` that recognizes the `{ type:
"secret_ref", secretId, version? }` shape the secret picker submits
(version defaults to `"latest"`; malformed objects return null).
- `server/src/services/plugin-environment-driver.ts`:
`validatePluginSandboxProviderConfig()` now canonicalizes binding
objects at the driver schema's `format: "secret-ref"` paths to the bare
secret id (the persisted shape) before invoking the plugin worker's
`environmentValidateConfig`. Pinned numeric versions are rejected with a
clear 422, since sandbox provider references always resolve the latest
version — silently resolving a different version would be worse.
- `server/src/services/environment-config.ts`: the persistence, runtime,
and probe secret-ref resolvers plus `collectEnvironmentSecretRefs()`
accept the binding-object shape defensively, so any previously persisted
object-shaped refs (from providers whose validation tolerated them)
resolve instead of being silently skipped; the missing-companyId runtime
guard also now fails closed for object-shaped refs.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/json-schema-secret-refs.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/plugin-sandbox-provider-config-validation.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-config.test.ts` — 82 tests pass,
including new coverage: binding-object canonicalization before plugin
validation, pinned-version rejection, raw-string pass-through, and a
route-level create with a picker-submitted binding object persisting the
bare secret id without minting a duplicate secret.
- `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/environment-runtime.test.ts` — 24
tests pass against embedded Postgres, including a new test that persists
an object-shaped ref and verifies runtime resolution produces the
plaintext credential for the plugin worker.
- `pnpm typecheck` in `server/` — clean.
## Risks
- Low. The canonical persisted shape (bare secret-id string) is
unchanged, so existing saved environments and lease-resume fingerprints
are unaffected; raw pasted values and bare-id strings take exactly the
same code path as before.
- New behavior only triggers where a save/probe previously failed 422
(binding objects at secret-ref paths) or where an object-shaped ref was
previously skipped silently at runtime (now resolved, or failed closed
without a companyId).
- Pinned binding versions at sandbox-provider paths are now an explicit
422 instead of an accidental validation failure; no UI submits pinned
versions today (`allowVersionSelector={false}`).

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for autonomous AI companies
> - The Daytona adapter turns tasks into shell commands and manages
execution overhead
> - Many short-lived exec calls still pay for login-shell profile
sourcing even when the binary already resolves on the sandbox default
PATH
> - That extra startup work adds latency on the hot path for repeated
command execution
> - This pull request adds an opt-in fast path that skips profile
sourcing only when the caller explicitly requests it and the command
does not need shell initialization
> - The benefit is lower per-call latency for eligible commands without
changing the conservative default behavior for commands that need the
profile
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This change does not reference a public GitHub issue. It follows the
same Daytona startup-speed work as merged PR #10335 and narrows the
execution path for eligible commands while keeping the default
login-shell behavior intact.
## What Changed
- Added an optional `noProfile` flag to
`PluginEnvironmentExecuteParams`.
- Refactored Daytona login-shell script assembly so the profile and nvm
sourcing block is omitted only on the explicit fast path.
- Preserved environment prefixing, `cd`, shell quoting,
`NONINTERACTIVE_GIT_ENV`, stdin handling, and `durationMs` behavior on
both paths.
- Added regression tests for the fast path omission, the preserved
execution parameters, and the default profile-sourcing path.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/sandbox-provider-daytona exec vitest run
src/plugin.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk tsc --noEmit`
- Reverted the guard locally to confirm the two behavior tests fail
again, then restored the change.
## Risks
- If a caller opts into `noProfile` for a command that depends on shell
initialization, the command can fail to resolve its binary.
- The API comment and opt-in design keep that risk narrow; the default
path remains unchanged.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents make progress in heartbeats: the server wakes an agent
session, it does a slice of work on an issue, records a disposition, and
exits
> - Benchmarking identical coding tasks run as Paperclip-orchestrated
agent pairs vs invoking the same agent harness directly measured a
1.8–2.2× wall-clock slowdown for the Paperclip pairs, dominated by
per-heartbeat orchestration overhead rather than model time
> - Two contributors stood out: (1) since PF-4 (#4838) every
`heartbeat_timer` wake starts a brand-new task session, so continuation
work on a specific issue repays the full session-start and
re-orientation cost on every heartbeat; (2) in degraded environments
agents burn many tool calls retrying the same failing control-plane
write before giving up
> - This pull request reuses the task session for issue-scoped timer
wakes (keeping the PF-4 fresh-session rule only for unscoped exploratory
wakes, which were the original context-bloat case) and adds a
bounded-retry rule to the wake prompt and core skill: after 2
consecutive failures of the same control-plane write, stop retrying it
for the rest of the heartbeat and rely on the adapter/runtime status
channel
> - The benefit is materially less wall-clock and token overhead per
heartbeat while preserving the context-bloat protection PF-4 was added
for
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #4838 (merged PF-4 change whose reset rule this refines), Refs
#5287, Refs #1907 (related timer-heartbeat session work).
No public GitHub issue exists for the slowdown itself; bug-report
fields:
- **What happened:** Agent pairs orchestrated through Paperclip
heartbeats complete identical task sets 1.8–2.2× slower (wall-clock)
than the same harness invoked directly. Profiling attributed the gap to
per-heartbeat orchestration overhead: every timer wake discards the task
session (full session start + re-orientation), and in degraded
environments agents repeatedly retry the same failing control-plane
write.
- **Expected behavior:** Heartbeat orchestration should add minimal
wall-clock overhead on top of the underlying harness; issue-scoped
continuation work should not pay a fresh-session tax each interval.
- **Steps to reproduce:** Run a fixed benchmark task set once through
Paperclip issue heartbeats and once via direct harness invocation with
the same model/config; compare wall-clock totals.
- **Version/commit:** master @ 3d23c3b2c3, self-hosted deployment.
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`: `shouldResetTaskSessionForWake`
now resets only for `heartbeat_timer` wakes with no derivable task key
(unscoped exploratory wakes). Issue-scoped timer wakes reuse the issue's
task session. `describeSessionResetReason` updated to stay in exact
agreement.
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-timer-wake-session-reset-pf4.test.ts`:
new cases for scoped vs unscoped timer wakes, plus the scoped case added
to the reset/reason agreement invariant.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.ts`: wake prompt template and
execution contract gain a bounded-retry rule — after 2 consecutive
failures of the same control-plane write, stop retrying it for the rest
of the heartbeat, continue useful work, report the failure in the final
response, and use the adapter/runtime status channel as the sanctioned
fallback.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts`: asserts the new
prompt lines are present in both the template and the rendered wake
prompt.
- `skills/paperclip/SKILL.md`: documents the same bounded write-retry
rule in the core Paperclip skill.
## Verification
- `node_modules/.bin/vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts` — 1 file, 83 tests
passed
- `cd server && node_modules/.bin/vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-timer-wake-session-reset-pf4.test.ts` — 1 file,
14 tests passed
- Both run on this branch rebased onto current master (3d23c3b2c3)
## Risks
- Behavioral shift: issue-scoped timer wakes now reuse sessions, so a
long-lived issue session can grow across heartbeats. Mitigated by
keeping the PF-4 reset for unscoped wakes (the originally observed bloat
case) and by existing session compaction.
- Prompt/skill text changes alter agent guidance; the new rule is scoped
narrowly to repeated failures of the same control-plane write.
- No migrations, no API or schema changes, no dependency changes.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Cloud-managed instances authenticate tenant users through a
trusted-header path (`resolveCloudTenantActor`) that deliberately never
grants `instance_admin`, so every tenant user is company-scoped
> - On a dedicated (single-owner) managed instance that leaves the
paying owner unable to administer their own instance: instance settings,
the environments admin surface, and the custom sandbox image flow are
all instance-admin gated (the environments UI can't even show the
provider/image of the platform sandbox because the restricted read view
blanks `config` entirely)
> - Re-granting the old blanket `instance_user_roles` row would repeat
the mistake the shared-pool hardening fixed: DB rows go stale, resurrect
via restores, and elevate through every auth path
> - This pull request elevates only the stack `owner`, computed per
request at the trusted-header boundary behind a new managed-tier feature
flag, and ships that elevation together with code floors on the
platform-owned surfaces an instance admin must not control on a managed
instance
> - The benefit is that dedicated-stack owners can administer their own
instance while platform credentials, execution policy, backups, and
runtime code-install stay platform-owned, and self-hosted behavior is
unchanged
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this change; the underlying issue is
described here following the feature-request template.
### Problem or motivation
- On cloud-managed instances, tenant users resolved from trusted headers
are always company-scoped. For dedicated instances with a single paying
owner, the owner cannot reach any instance-admin surface of their own
instance (instance settings, environments administration, custom image
setup), and the restricted environment read view hides even structural
fields like the sandbox provider and image.
- The previous hardening intentionally removed blanket elevation (and
purges stale `instance_user_roles` rows on every trusted-header
authentication). That protection must not regress for shared
multi-tenant pools.
### Proposed solution
- Owner-only, computed, flag-gated elevation plus code floors on
platform-owned surfaces, in one PR so the elevation can never ship
without the floors.
### Alternatives considered
- Re-inserting an `instance_user_roles` row for owners (the
pre-hardening model): rejected — DB rows go stale, survive restores, and
elevate through every auth path; #7525 removed exactly this.
- Widening only the environments read view without any elevation:
rejected — it fixes one screen but still leaves a dedicated-instance
owner unable to administer instance settings or custom images.
- Elevating additional stack roles (`member`/`admin`/`support`):
rejected — only the owner has an ownership claim over the whole
instance; other roles stay company-scoped.
### Roadmap alignment
- Extends the shipped "Cloud deployments" roadmap work (multi-tenant
isolation, company-scoped cloud tenants, managed-instance bootstrap)
without overlapping planned core items, and leaves self-hosted behavior
unchanged.
## What Changed
- **New feature key** `enableOwnerInstanceAdmin` (`packages/shared`):
boolean flag in `instanceExperimentalSettingsSchema`, catalog tier
`managed`, `cloudDefault: true`, `selfHostedDefault: false`. Inert on
self-hosted instances — the elevation path only exists behind the cloud
tenant trust token.
- **Computed elevation** (`server/src/middleware/auth.ts`):
`resolveCloudTenantActor` now returns `isInstanceAdmin: true` only when
the trusted-header stack role is `owner` **and** the flag is enabled.
The flag is resolved through the instance-settings service so the
managed-config overlay applies (the control plane can disable elevation
fleet-wide without touching tenant databases; a DB row edit or restore
cannot resurrect it). Resolution fails closed on settings read errors.
The `instance_user_roles` never-insert and the per-request stale-row
purge are byte-identical. `member`/`admin`/`support` stack roles stay
company-scoped.
- **Authorization guard split**
(`server/src/services/authorization.ts`): the blanket-allow now trusts
the actor's *computed* `isInstanceAdmin` flag (only the attested
resolver can set it for `cloud_tenant` actors) while keeping the
`instance_user_roles` DB lookup excluded for `cloud_tenant` — a stale or
hand-inserted role row still elevates nothing.
- **Floor F1 — platform environment credentials**
(`server/src/routes/environments.ts`): on cloud-managed instances,
platform-provisioned environment rows (`managedByPaperclip` marker, plus
the legacy managed-Kubernetes marker) use a single floored view for
every reader on all environment routes (list, get, create, update,
delete responses): `envVars` are never echoed and credential-shaped
`config` keys (reusing the managed-config
`SECRET_LIKE_CONFIG_KEY_PATTERN`) are dropped — for **all** actors
including instance admins — while structural config (provider, image,
template, region, …) and the managed markers stay visible. This also
fixes the environments UI for managed sandboxes, which previously lost
the provider/image entirely in the restricted view. The floor also
covers writes: `PATCH /environments/:id` and `DELETE /environments/:id`
on a platform-provisioned row are rejected (403,
`environment_platform_managed`) for every actor including instance
admins, and the guard binds to the persisted row's markers so a patch
cannot strip the managed marker to lift the floor. The one recovery path
is a metadata-only PATCH that solely clears the marker keys
(null/false), for rows stamped through the old unrestricted API before
the markers became reserved — and it never applies to a row whose slot
markers are live platform state: the single local row
(`environments_local_driver_idx`), which `ensureLocalEnvironment` adopts
and stamps on cloud-managed instances from every caller (company
creation, the heartbeat, run orchestration), and the single marked
sandbox row (`environments_managed_sandbox_idx`) while a managed-sandbox
bootstrap path is configured (managed-config `environments` section or
`PAPERCLIP_EXECUTION_MODE=kubernetes`) and the provisioner therefore
adopts and refreshes it on every boot. Clearing a live slot row's
markers would let the next write reclassify it as tenant-managed and
bypass the floor; conversely, when no sandbox provisioning path is
configured the platform holds no claim on any sandbox row, so a platform
marker there is stale by definition and the recovery patch applies.
Every marker outside a live slot is clearable, so no legacy row is ever
locked permanently. Custom-image setup and probes on the platform
sandbox stay available to instance admins — those are the owner-facing
flows this elevation exists for. The marker keys themselves are
reserved: client create/update payloads that set `managedByPaperclip` or
`managedKubernetesSandbox` are rejected (422,
`environment_platform_marker_reserved`) on cloud-managed instances, so a
tenant row can never be stamped platform-provisioned through the API and
self-locked behind the write floor (the provisioner writes markers at
the service layer, not through these routes). Tenant-created
environments are otherwise unaffected.
- **Floor F2 — executionMode**
(`server/src/routes/instance-settings.ts`): on cloud-managed instances,
`PATCH /instance/settings/general` rejects writes that would change
`executionMode` (403, `execution_mode_platform_managed`). Same-value
echoes pass so settings forms that submit the full general-settings
object keep working. The boot-time execution-policy bootstrap path is
untouched (it calls the service directly).
- **Floor F3 — manual database backups**
(`server/src/routes/instance-database-backups.ts`): floored off on
cloud-managed instances (403, `database_backups_platform_managed`);
backups are platform-owned there, and the result would also echo a
server-side filesystem path.
- **Floor F4 — adapter code install** (`server/src/routes/adapters.ts`):
`POST /adapters/install` and `POST /adapters/:type/reinstall` are
floored off on cloud-managed instances (403,
`adapter_install_platform_managed`). Adapter packages execute in the
server process, so a runtime install would let an instance admin read
the platform trust anchors out of the process environment. This mirrors
the existing bundled-only plugin install floor; adapter code on managed
instances comes bundled with the platform image.
## Instance-admin surface audit
Before widening who can hold `isInstanceAdmin`, every
instance-admin-gated surface in `server/src` was enumerated and reviewed
for whether its response or side effects could echo process environment
values or platform credentials (tenant trust token, JWT signing keys,
database connection strings, provider API keys): 29 distinct gate
definitions covering ~90+ call sites, in four groups — sole
instance-admin gates (12), instance-admin-or-company-permission gates
(10), response-shaping/scope-widening sites (6), and the central
`allow_instance_admin` short-circuit in the authorization service (58
`decide()` call sites).
Findings and dispositions:
- **Environment read/write responses** exposed platform sandbox
`envVars`/credential-shaped config to instance admins → closed by floor
F1.
- **Manual backup trigger** echoed a server filesystem path and triggers
a platform-owned operation → closed by floor F3.
- **Adapter install/reinstall** loads externally fetched code into the
server process (indirect, complete env exposure) → closed by floor F4.
The sibling plugin-install path already had a bundled-only floor on
managed instances and needed no change.
- **Token-minting surfaces** (gateway tokens, custom-image
terminal/connection tokens) mint credentials scoped to the instance's
own resources, not platform trust anchors → acceptable for an
owner-admin of a dedicated instance; unchanged.
- All remaining gated surfaces return ordinary instance-scoped business
data; none echo `process.env` or platform secrets directly. OAuth client
secrets are referenced by env-var *name* only; SSH private keys are
stored as secret refs before persistence and are not echoed.
Operational note for managed platforms: this model assumes the process
environment of a managed instance holds only that instance's own
credentials. Platform operators should keep provider credentials
per-instance (never fleet-shared) since an instance admin ultimately
controls in-process code on their own instance.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/middleware/cloud-tenant-actor.test.ts` —
resolver matrix: owner × flag on/off, flag via managed overlay
(on-over-DB-off and off-over-DB-on), member/admin/support × flag on,
no-token self-hosted, fail-closed settings read, purge still runs and no
role row is ever inserted (14 tests).
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/authorization-service.test.ts` —
computed flag elevates a `cloud_tenant` actor; a stale
`instance_user_roles` row still never does; `session` actors unchanged
(full suite, embedded Postgres).
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts` —
F1: no secret echo to admins on get/list, structural config visible to
restricted readers, platform-row PATCH/DELETE rejected for admins
(including a marker-stripping patch), marker-clear recovery allowed for
stale legacy rows and for a marked sandbox row when no provisioning path
is configured, but refused on the managed local row and on the sandbox
slot row under a managed-config `environments` entry or the forced
kubernetes execution mode, client marker-stamping creates/patches
rejected, tenant rows still readable and writable, self-hosted
read+write regression (60 tests).
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/environment-service.test.ts` —
`ensureLocalEnvironment` adopts a pre-existing local row on
cloud-managed instances (marker stamped, other metadata preserved,
idempotent — no rewrite on re-ensure) and leaves self-hosted rows
untouched (22 tests, embedded Postgres).
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-database-backups-routes.test.ts` — F2
change-vs-echo matrix incl. self-hosted regression; F3 floor for both
admin shapes (32 tests).
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/adapter-routes-authz.test.ts` —
F4 floor; self-hosted install/reinstall behavior unchanged (existing
cases).
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/first-admin-claim.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/bootstrap-claim-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/managed-config.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/health.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-managed-overlay.test.ts
server/src/services/managed-environments.test.ts
server/src/services/execution-policy-bootstrap.test.ts` — first-admin
bootstrap gate and managed-config behavior unchanged (91 tests).
- `pnpm vitest run packages/shared/src/feature-catalog.test.ts` —
catalog/schema sync tests cover the new key (selfHostedDefault must
equal the schema default).
- `pnpm run typecheck` — all 31 workspace projects clean.
## Risks
- Self-hosted behavior is unchanged: every floor binds to
`isCloudManagedInstance()` (tenant trust token present), the new flag
defaults off with no elevation path, and regression tests pin the
self-hosted branches.
- The elevation is fail-closed and stateless: turning the flag off
(managed overlay or DB) de-elevates on the next request; there is no
role row to clean up and restores cannot resurrect elevation.
- On a cloud-managed instance a pre-existing unmarked local row is
adopted (stamped `managedByPaperclip`) by the next ensure and becomes
platform-owned — the intended managed-product semantic: the platform
owns the single local slot. Self-hosted instances are untouched.
- F1 widens restricted readers' view of platform-provisioned rows from
fully blanked `config`/`metadata` to structural-only `config` plus
markers. Platform-delivered config is guaranteed secret-free by the
managed-config contract (secret-shaped keys fail startup), and the floor
re-drops secret-shaped keys defensively.
- One extra instance-settings read per trusted-header request for
owner-role actors (the resolver already performs several queries per
request).
## Model Used
Claude Fable 5 (Anthropic) — model id `claude-fable-5`, extended
thinking enabled, agentic tool use via Claude Code; read-only explore
subagents on the same model were used for the surface audit sweep.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to organize
and operate AI-agent companies.
> - Agent behavior depends partly on the bundled Paperclip core skill
synchronized into each runtime.
> - The existing database and runtime plumbing already supports
immutable skill-version snapshots and per-agent version selections, but
no product workflow exposed that capability.
> - Replacing the live bundled skill globally would make champion
adoption risky and difficult to compare across agents.
> - This pull request adds an experimental, instance-level beta-skills
gate plus a repository release registry, immutable seeded releases,
enforcement, and a per-agent release picker.
> - The benefit is controlled per-agent evaluation of frozen core-skill
releases while the default-off path remains behaviorally unchanged.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Subsystem affected
Cross-cutting: `server/`, `ui/`, `packages/db`, and `packages/shared`.
### Problem or motivation
Paperclip needs a safe way to evaluate improved versions of its core
operating skill without globally replacing the live default. Today the
version-snapshot and per-agent pin plumbing exists, but operators cannot
use it. A global replacement would make regressions difficult to contain
and would prevent controlled comparisons across agents.
### Proposed solution
Add a default-off instance experiment that exposes immutable, named
core-skill releases. When enabled, operators can pin each agent to a
seeded release; when disabled, every agent resolves the live default
while saved pins remain intact. Validate pinned writes at the API
boundary, gate reads at runtime, and expose the selection in the agent
Skills tab.
### Alternatives considered
- **Replace the bundled core skill globally:** rejected because it
changes every agent at once and provides no rollback/isolation boundary.
- **Ship releases as separate skills:** rejected because releases are
versions of one core capability, not independently enabled skills.
- **Store release snapshots only outside the repository:** rejected
because repository provenance and hashes make builds reproducible and
reviewable.
### Roadmap alignment
This extends the Skills Manager / Skill Studio direction in `ROADMAP.md`
by making core-skill versions operable per agent. It does not duplicate
another open implementation PR; GitHub searches found no related
`enableBetaSkills` change.
### Additional context
The feature remains experimental and default off. The V7 champion was
selected through a multi-model evaluation process, and the frozen
release contents are verified by SHA-256 below.
## What Changed
- Added the default-off instance-level `enableBetaSkills` experimental
flag.
- Added `skills-releases/paperclip/` with the ordered release registry
and frozen `v0` plus `v7-roster` snapshots.
- Added release metadata to `company_skill_versions` and idempotent
release seeding. The migration was planned as `0191`, then renumbered to
`0192` because current `master` claimed `0191` before final rebase.
- Added read-time gating and write-time validation so disabled instances
always resolve the live default and reject pinned-version writes.
- Added the per-agent Release picker in the agent Skills tab, including
responsive layout and beta-pin state.
- Kept `EDITS.md` out of the release registry and PR diff.
### V7 Adoption Evidence
- Paid roster: 6 models, 94-case suite.
- Result: 553/564 pass-within-2, mean 92.17/94, versus the P2 baseline
of 544/564.
- Reference model improved 84→91; maximin improved 84→90.
- Final report:
https://pages.paperclip.ing/skills/optimization/paperclip/pap-14624-p3-final-20260721/
### Provenance
- `v7-roster` is the Phase 1 champion plus additions-only edits
E107–E112. Per-edit rationale remains in the evals repository at
`source/v7-roster/EDITS.md` and is deliberately excluded from this PR.
- `v0` is the `skills/paperclip` tree from commit `ea66ea81`.
- Champion selection was accepted on July 21, 2026 via board card
`9c304fc2` (PAP-14624 G3).
- This delivery mechanism was accepted on July 24, 2026 via plan
revision `2367abd2` (PAP-14858).
### QA Evidence
- P4 QA matrix comment `b7f40522-4e9b-4a3a-9821-28e86fe1a987`: all 6
acceptance criteria passed.
- Automated QA matrix: 166 tests passed with 0 failures, including real
filesystem materialization and full SHA-256 assertions.
- UI QA exercised the real agent Skills tab at desktop and mobile widths
with the experimental flag both on and off.
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- Focused beta-release matrix: 169 tests passed across shared
validators, server services/routes/heartbeat behavior, instance settings
UI, and release picker UI.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm test:run`: server and UI partitions passed; one CLI doctor test
inherited temporary AWS credentials from the agent heartbeat and
expected no static credentials. The isolated rerun with
`AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, and `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN`
unset passed 8/8.
- V7 SHA-256:
- `SKILL.md`:
`53ab290489684cbf116fdd1406a95f6b6f53c9c36358b1bf8bfeae481e253575`
- `references/cases.md`:
`3b821f59064a7761091020a14819a8d787131f24029748563d6c0e1be7e6eaec`
- `references/workflows.md`:
`69747bd6e05f7e3673d1e67b07ff295df1869c05e1fd029804d5fa9177db92cd`
- Confirmed 49 changed files, no `pnpm-lock.yaml`, no workflow changes,
and no `EDITS.md`.
## Risks
- **Migration:** low-to-moderate risk. Three nullable columns and one
partial unique index are added idempotently; existing rows remain valid.
- **Behavior:** low risk while the flag is off because read-time
resolution forces the live default and saved pins are preserved but
inactive.
- **Frozen content:** release snapshots intentionally diverge from
future live skill edits; provenance and hashes make that divergence
explicit and reproducible.
- **UI:** low risk. The picker only renders for the bundled core skill
when the experimental flag is enabled and seeded releases exist.
> This extends the existing Skills Manager / Skill Studio direction
described in `ROADMAP.md`; it does not duplicate another open
implementation PR. The GitHub PR search found no related
`enableBetaSkills` change.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex using `gpt-5.5` with reasoning and
terminal/code-execution tools; context-window size is not exposed by
this runtime. Earlier implementation commits also record Claude Opus 4.8
assistance where applicable.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The adapter/runtime layer has to move files into sandboxes safely
and efficiently
> - The current sync-in path needs a provider-delegable seam so
providers can use their native upload transport when available
> - The upload contract also needs ordered post-upload commands so
extracted content can be finalized fail-fast after transfer
> - The fallback path still has to preserve current behavior when the
provider does not expose native sync verbs
> - This pull request adds the contract and runtime seam for
provider-delegable sync-in, plus the single-stream collapse flag
> - The benefit is fewer round trips, a cleaner provider-owned upload
path, and a compatible fallback for existing runners
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this change. The underlying feature
request is described below in the repository's feature-request format.
### Problem or motivation
Paperclip needs a sync-in path that lets each provider choose the best
available upload transport instead of forcing the harness to orchestrate
uploads the same way every time. The runtime also needs a way to
describe ordered post-upload commands so providers can finalize
extracted content fail-fast after transfer.
### Proposed solution
Extend the sync contract with ordered post-upload commands, forward that
contract through the plugin and environment runtime layers, and make
client syncIn always available. When a provider advertises native sync
verbs, the client should delegate to that transport; otherwise it should
fall back to the existing tarball/write/extract behavior and then run
the post-upload commands in order.
### Alternatives considered
Keeping upload orchestration entirely host-side would avoid a contract
change, but it would block provider-specific transport optimizations and
keep the harness responsible for a path the provider can do more
efficiently. A separate post-upload API would add another surface
without improving the existing sync flow.
### Roadmap alignment
This work aligns with the broader runtime and adapter roadmap because it
improves provider integration without changing the external product
model. It is an additive contract change that preserves backward
compatibility for providers that do not expose native sync verbs.
### Additional context
The fallback path still needs to preserve existing observable behavior,
including command ordering, cwd confinement, and fail-fast execution.
The single-stream progress flag is part of the same transport
improvement so smaller writes can collapse to a single round trip when
the runner supports it.
## What Changed
- Added ordered `postUploadCommands` support to the sync operation
contract and SDK mirror.
- Plumbed the sync-in contract through the plugin and environment
runtime layers.
- Implemented a runtime client `syncIn` path that delegates to native
provider transport when available, otherwise uses the generic
tarball/write/extract fallback.
- Preserved fail-fast execution of ordered post-upload commands in the
fallback path.
- Flipped the sandbox runner's single-stream stdin progress flag to
collapse small `writeFile` operations to a single round trip.
- Added and updated tests for contract forwarding, fallback behavior,
cwd rejection, fail-fast behavior, and single-stream collapse.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk exec vitest run
protocol.postupload.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk exec vitest run
environment-sync-negotiation.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec vitest run
command-managed-runtime.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
environment-execution-target.test.ts`
- Local typecheck and targeted suite runs reported in the handoff passed
before PR creation.
## Risks
- The new fallback path could diverge from the previous inline upload
behavior if the tarball/extract contract changes.
- Provider-native sync handling may expose provider-specific edge cases
if a runner advertises sync verbs but does not fully honor the contract.
- The single-stream flag changes transport behavior for small uploads,
so regressions would likely show up as round-trip or upload failures.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex (GPT-5, tool-using coding agent).

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies and their work.
> - Artifacts and documents are first-class outputs, but users need a
personal way to keep important documents easy to find.
> - Existing resource memberships already model per-user starred
projects and agents with company scoping and activity logging.
> - Documents lacked the equivalent membership model, route, and
artifact filtering behavior.
> - The shared membership contract also needs to remain safe for
existing UI project/agent mutation helpers when documents become a
recognized resource type.
> - This pull request extends the existing resource-membership system
with per-user document stars and a starred artifacts view.
> - The benefit is a company-scoped, idempotent server foundation for a
dedicated starred-documents experience without weakening authorization
or artifact filtering semantics.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Problem / Motivation
Board users cannot star individual documents, and the company artifacts
API cannot return only the current user's starred documents.
### Proposed Solution
Add company/user-scoped document memberships, a board-only document star
route, document membership data in the shared contract, and a
`starred=true` artifacts filter.
### Alternatives Considered
A document column was rejected because stars are per-user; a separate
star API was rejected because projects and agents already use resource
memberships.
### Roadmap Alignment
This extends the existing Artifacts & Work Products roadmap area and
does not duplicate another open pull request found in the repository
search.
## What Changed
- Added the `document_memberships` schema and migration with
company/user/document uniqueness and starred ordering.
- Extended shared resource-membership and artifact-query contracts for
documents and `starred=true`.
- Added company-scoped document star/unstar service and board-only route
behavior with activity logging.
- Added starred document artifact filtering, including user-authored
documents, document kinds, cursor ordering, and incompatible-kind
handling.
- Preserved idempotency under concurrent star requests and synchronized
UI membership defaults/helpers with the expanded contract.
- Added focused shared, route, service, and UI regression coverage.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/resource-memberships.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-artifacts-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/resource-memberships-routes.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/SidebarAgents.test.tsx
ui/src/components/SidebarProjects.test.tsx
ui/src/components/SidebarStarredProjects.test.tsx`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm test:run`
- `pnpm build`
## Risks
- The migration adds a new membership table and non-concurrent indexes;
migration safety gates pass with the repository's established policy.
- The starred artifacts query intentionally returns only documents and
relaxes the normal agent-authored/system-kind predicates for documents
the current user explicitly starred.
- Document membership mutations remain board-user-only; agent callers
receive no document-star capability.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane people use to create and govern
AI-agent companies

model profiles future runs may select
> - Adapters can expose a `cheap` profile, and existing creation paths
implicitly left that profile available when operators made no choice
> - That made a newly created agent eligible for a lower-cost model
without an explicit operator opt-in
> - The UI also dropped an explicit opt-in when the operator selected
the adapter's default cheap model rather than a custom model ID
> - Codex additionally hardcoded `gpt-5.3-codex-spark` into its cheap
profile and static fallback model list, making Paperclip choose an
auth-dependent model rather than requiring an operator choice
> - This pull request makes new-agent creation disable an available
cheap profile by default while preserving explicit opt-in from the UI or
API
> - The Codex cheap profile now remains available for explicit
configuration but supplies no model default, so an unconfigured cheap
request stays on the primary model
> - The benefit is predictable model quality for new agents and an
intentional, auditable choice before lower-cost routing is enabled
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Problem**
New agents created with an adapter that exposes a `cheap` model profile
can inherit that profile without the operator explicitly enabling it. In
the UI, enabling the adapter-default cheap model is also omitted because
runtime configuration is only written when a custom model ID is present.
**Expected behavior**
- New agents default an available `cheap` model profile to `{ enabled:
false }` when the caller does not specify it.
- Explicit API configuration remains authoritative.
- UI opt-in persists even when the adapter default model is used.
- Codex does not advertise or automatically select
`gpt-5.3-codex-spark`; operators must explicitly configure any
lower-cost Codex model.
**Related public work**
- Refs #4881, which introduced cheap model profiles for local adapters.
- Supersedes the default-selection portions of #8032 and #10004 by
removing the Codex model default instead of replacing it with another
hardcoded model.
## What Changed
- Detect whether the selected adapter exposes a `cheap` model profile
during agent creation and hiring.
- Persist `runtimeConfig.modelProfiles.cheap.enabled = false` only when
the caller did not explicitly configure the profile.
- Preserve UI cheap-profile opt-in when using the adapter's default
model by writing an empty adapter config.
- Remove `gpt-5.3-codex-spark` from the Codex static model list.
- Keep the Codex `cheap` profile explicitly configurable while giving it
an empty adapter config, so Paperclip never chooses a cheap Codex model
automatically.
- Verify that a Codex cheap request without an explicit model leaves the
primary model unchanged.
- Extend server route and UI runtime-config tests for default-disable
and explicit-opt-in behavior.
## Verification
- `env -u PAPERCLIP_IN_WORKTREE -u PAPERCLIP_WORKTREE_NAME -u
PAPERCLIP_CONFIG -u PAPERCLIP_HOME -u PAPERCLIP_INSTANCE_ID -u
PAPERCLIP_CONTEXT pnpm exec vitest run

- Result: 7 test files passed, 105 tests passed.
- GitHub `Typecheck + Release Registry` check passed on the final head.
- `git diff --check public-gh/master...HEAD`
## Risks
- Low behavioral risk: only newly created or hired agents are
normalized; existing agents are unchanged.
- Explicit `cheap` profile settings remain untouched, including explicit
opt-in.
- Codex users who explicitly opt into the cheap lane must choose a
model; requests without a configured override intentionally continue on
the primary model.
- Adapter profile discovery is now awaited during creation, adding a
small amount of adapter metadata lookup work.
- The source branch name is automation-provided and retained as required
by the task, so it does not satisfy the preferred public branch naming
convention.

> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies.
> - Its secrets subsystem can resolve external references such as AWS
Secrets Manager values without copying those values into Paperclip
custody.
> - Operators also need to rotate a referenced secret's value while
preserving the same provider reference for consumers inside and outside
Paperclip.
> - Previously, external-reference rotation could only retarget
metadata, and secret detail sheets were driven by local component state
rather than shareable navigation state.
> - This pull request adds an optional provider write capability,
implements AWS Secrets Manager write-through rotation, and exposes
capability-aware rotate modes in the UI.
> - It also makes secret and each-user definition detail sheets
URL-driven and adds a copy-link action.
> - The benefit is that operators can update the canonical external
value safely while keeping AWS rotation tracking intact, and they can
share or navigate directly to secret details.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Subsystem affected
Cross-cutting (`server/`, `ui/`, and `packages/shared`).
### Problem or motivation
External-reference secrets can follow a provider-managed value, but
Paperclip could not write a replacement value back to providers that
support it. Operators had to leave Paperclip, update the value
separately, and then return without an auditable Paperclip rotation
record. Secret detail sheets also could not be shared or restored
through browser history because their selection lived only in component
state.
### Proposed solution
Add an optional `updateExternalSecretValue` provider capability and
surface it as `supportsExternalValueWrites`. Implement AWS writes with
`PutSecretValue` while leaving the resolution `versionId` unset so
future reads continue following `AWSCURRENT`. Add write-value and
retarget modes to the rotate dialog for capable providers. Drive secret
detail selection from `?secret=` / `?definition=` query parameters and
provide a copy-link action.
### Alternatives considered
Converting an external reference into a Paperclip-managed secret would
break consumers that depend on the existing provider reference. Pinning
reads to the newly written AWS version would prevent later out-of-band
rotations from flowing through. Keeping sheet selection only in React
state would not support browser Back or shareable links.
### Roadmap alignment
This extends the completed “Secrets Manager with per-agent access”
roadmap capability; it does not duplicate a separate planned roadmap
item. Public GitHub searches found no duplicate or closely related issue
or PR.
### Additional context
The PR includes focused provider, service, and UI render coverage.
Cutter also generated previews for the deep-linked detail sheet and
capability-aware rotate modes.
## What Changed
- Added optional external-value write support to the secret provider
contract and provider descriptors.
- Implemented AWS Secrets Manager write-through with `PutSecretValue`,
audit material, and compensation when persistence fails after the
provider write.
- Allowed `secretService.rotate()` value updates for external references
while rejecting ambiguous value-plus-retarget combinations and
unsupported providers.
- Added capability-aware “Write new value” and “Change reference” rotate
modes with updated custody and action copy.
- Made secret and each-user definition detail sheets source their
selection from URL query parameters, compose with folder paths, close
through browser history, and expose a copy-link action.
- Added provider, service, and UI render coverage for write-through,
rollback, capability messaging, dialog modes, and deep links.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/aws-secrets-manager-provider.test.ts` — 18 passed.
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/secrets-service.test.ts` — 75
passed.
- `pnpm vitest run ui/src/pages/Secrets.render.test.tsx` — 31 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed with all gates clean.
## Risks
- External value writes affect the canonical provider secret and
therefore all consumers of that AWS secret; the UI explicitly labels
this custody behavior.
- A provider write can succeed before Paperclip persistence fails. The
service records the written version and AWS support includes
compensation coverage to restore the prior value where possible;
unrecoverable failures return explicit audit-safe error details.
- URL-driven sheet state changes navigation behavior; render tests cover
deep links, Back/close behavior, and composition with folder query
state.
- No database migration or breaking API requirement is introduced;
providers without the optional capability retain reference-only
behavior.

## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex using exact model ID `gpt-5.6-sol`, high reasoning mode,
Codex CLI `0.142.5`, with repository, shell, Git, GitHub CLI, and
code-execution tools. The runtime did not expose a context-window size.
- Earlier implementation commits were assisted by Anthropic `Claude
Fable 5` as recorded in their commit trailers; the exact backend model
ID and context-window size were not preserved in the workspace metadata.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents and boards coordinate through issue-thread interactions
(request_confirmation, ask_user_questions, suggest_tasks, …) that wait
as `pending` cards until someone resolves them
> - Two lifecycle gaps existed: an interaction's creator could not take
back a card it no longer stands behind, and interactions left `pending`
on issues that reached a terminal status lingered forever as
live-looking approval requests
> - Stale pending cards mislead humans (they look actionable), distort
attention/liveness signals, and in the worst case invite acting on a
proposal whose issue is already closed or cancelled
> - This pull request adds an explicit withdraw route for pending
interactions and automatically expires pending interactions when their
issue reaches a terminal status (including a catch-up sweep for issues
closed before this change)
> - The benefit is that interaction cards now faithfully reflect
reality: only genuinely actionable requests stay pending, and creators
can retract requests that events have overtaken
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#5787
Refs #7403
Related prior PRs found while searching for duplicates (all overlap
partially; none combine both lifecycle paths or the route-level
authorization used here): #6709 and #7312 (creator-withdraw attempts),
#8169 (terminal expiry), #8081 and #5137 (generalized cancel/expire
endpoints), #6094 (stale confirmation auto-resolve). Related merged
context: #9568 (agent cancel for ask_user_questions), #10119 (tolerating
legacy `withdrawn_by_creator` result outcomes — the reader side of the
outcome this PR writes).
## What Changed
- New route `POST /issues/:id/interactions/:interactionId/withdraw` that
resolves a `pending` interaction to status `withdrawn` with a structured
result (`outcome: "withdrawn"`, optional trimmed `reason`), stamps
`resolvedBy*`/`resolvedAt`, touches the issue, logs activity, and emits
resolved-interaction telemetry
- Withdrawal authorization: board users, the interaction's creator
agent, or the issue's current assignee agent (assignees additionally
pass the standard issue-mutation gate); task-watchdog runs are
explicitly rejected, and authorization-boundary plus low-trust
control-plane checks apply
- Withdrawing an already-resolved interaction returns `409`;
unknown/cross-issue/cross-company interaction ids return `404`
- New service method `expirePendingInteractionsForTerminalIssue`: when
an issue transitions to a terminal status, all of its `pending`
interactions are resolved to `expired` with `outcome: "issue_closed"`,
guarded by a `status = 'pending'` predicate so concurrent resolutions
are not overwritten
- The same expiry runs as a catch-up when interactions are listed on an
already-terminal issue, so cards stranded by issues closed before this
change also get cleaned up; expired request_confirmations are logged
with a distinguishing source
- Shared package: new `withdrawIssueThreadInteractionSchema` validator,
`WithdrawIssueThreadInteraction` type, and `withdrawn` / `issue_closed`
result-outcome support for all interaction kinds (kind-aware result
shapes for `ask_user_questions` and `request_item_verdicts`)
- UI helper `ui/src/lib/issue-thread-interactions.ts` recognizes the new
outcomes for card rendering
- Docs: bundled skill API reference updated with the withdraw endpoint
- Review follow-up: terminal expiry moved from the HTTP route hooks into
`issueService.update`'s status-transition block, so direct service
callers (tree control, recovery, pipelines, status cards) expire pending
cards too; the list-endpoint catch-up remains for issues closed before
this change
- Review follow-up: withdrawing or issue-close-expiring a
`request_confirmation` also settles its linked `tool_action_requests`
row (withdraw -> `cancelled`, issue closed -> `expired`), so a parked
tool call cannot stay approvable after its card is gone
- Review follow-up: interaction cards render dedicated copy for the new
outcomes ("Withdrawn" with the reason, "Expired when issue closed")
instead of falling through to superseded-by-comment / stale-target
variants; withdrawn plan reviews badge as "Withdrawn" rather than
"Changes requested"

## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared build` — clean tsc
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-thread-interaction-routes.test.ts` — 22 tests pass,
including new coverage for: creator-agent withdraw success,
non-creator/non-assignee agent 403, watchdog-run 403, double-withdraw
409, and board-user withdraw
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/issue-thread-interactions.test.ts` — 4 tests pass,
including terminal-issue expiry writing `issue_closed` results and
leaving already-resolved interactions untouched
- `cd ui && pnpm typecheck` — clean
- `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts` —
includes a new embedded-Postgres test proving a direct
`issueService.update` terminal transition expires pending interactions
and writes the activity-log entry
- `cd ui && npx vitest run
src/components/IssueThreadInteractionCard.test.tsx` — 32 tests,
including new coverage for withdrawn / issue-closed confirmation and
question cards
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit` — matches the pre-existing repo error
baseline exactly (no new errors)
- Manual: `POST /issues/:id/interactions/:interactionId/withdraw` with
`{"reason":"superseded"}` as the creator agent resolves the card to
`withdrawn`; closing an issue with a pending confirmation flips it to
`expired` with `outcome: "issue_closed"`
## Risks
- Interactions on terminal issues now auto-expire (including
retroactively via the list-time catch-up), so consumers that expected to
resolve a pending interaction on a closed issue will get `409`; this is
the intended semantics and matches how the attention feed already wants
to treat dead cards
- New result outcomes (`withdrawn`, `issue_closed`) are written to
stored results; readers were already made tolerant of these outcome
strings in #10119, so mixed-version reads are safe
- No schema/migration changes; per-row conditional updates (`status =
'pending'`) avoid clobbering concurrent resolutions
- Withdrawal is a new mutation surface, but it is strictly narrower than
existing resolve paths (board, creator, or assignee only; watchdog runs
blocked)

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Hosted/managed deployments configure instances entirely from the
control plane: `PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG` already delivers feature flags
and `plugins.autoInstall` (bundled sandbox provider plugins), parsed
fail-closed at boot
> - A plugin alone is not usable for execution: runs need an
instance-level `driver: "sandbox"` environment row pointing at the
provider, and today only Kubernetes has a boot path for that
(`PAPERCLIP_EXECUTION_MODE` → `ensureKubernetesEnvironment`); every
other provider requires a manual product-API call the control plane
cannot make on a managed instance
> - Adding one `ensureXxxEnvironment` per provider would multiply
near-identical boot hooks and env-var surfaces
> - This pull request generalizes the existing Kubernetes machinery: the
managed-config document gains an optional `environments` section that
declares a sandbox environment for any bundled provider, ensured
idempotently at boot by a provider-agnostic service function (the
Kubernetes hook becomes a thin wrapper over it)
> - The benefit is that a managed fleet can provision any sandbox
provider (Daytona, Modal, E2B, …) purely from configuration — no
per-provider code, no manual API calls, no secrets in the document —
while self-hosted behavior is untouched
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists. Refs #10157 (the cloud image variant that
bundles sandbox provider plugins — this PR is the configuration half
that makes an installed provider usable).
**Problem (feature-request shape):** on a managed instance the control
plane can auto-install a bundled sandbox provider plugin via
`PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG.plugins.autoInstall`, but cannot create the
environment row that makes the provider schedulable. The only boot-time
environment provisioning is Kubernetes-specific
(`PAPERCLIP_EXECUTION_MODE=kubernetes` + `PAPERCLIP_K8S_*`). A generic,
config-driven path is needed so any bundled provider can be provisioned
without per-plugin code or manual API calls.
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/managed-config.ts`: optional `environments`
top-level section — `[{ name, description?, provider, config? }]` —
validated fail-closed: unknown keys, more than one entry (the DB permits
exactly one Paperclip-managed sandbox row,
`environments_managed_sandbox_idx`), a `provider` not present in
`plugins.autoInstall`, `config.provider`, or secret-looking config keys
at any depth (`api_key`/`token`/`secret`/`password`/`credential`) all
refuse startup. Absent section ⇒ `environments: []`, so pre-section
documents keep booting newer builds.
- `server/src/services/environments.ts`: new provider-agnostic
`ensureManagedSandboxEnvironment({ name, description?, provider,
config?, extraMetadata? })` — idempotently owns the single managed
sandbox row: refreshes name/description/config each call, adopts the
slot across provider switches (dropping the stale
`managedKubernetesSandbox` marker), adopts a same-name unmanaged sandbox
row (stamping it managed) instead of colliding on
`environments_name_idx` every boot, and falls back to keeping the
current name if the desired name belongs to a different row.
`ensureKubernetesEnvironment` is now a thin wrapper that pins `provider:
"kubernetes"` and stamps the legacy marker.
- `server/src/services/managed-environments.ts` (new):
`applyManagedEnvironments` boot step — no-op for self-hosted/empty;
throws (fail startup) when `PAPERCLIP_EXECUTION_MODE` is also set, since
both would own the same managed sandbox row; otherwise ensures each
declared environment fail-safe per entry (log + continue boot, matching
bundled-plugin provisioning posture).
- `server/src/index.ts`: runs the new boot step right after the
execution-policy bootstrap, before the heartbeat resumes queued runs.
- `server/src/services/index.ts`: exports `applyManagedEnvironments` and
`ManagedEnvironmentSpec`.
- Secrets stay out of the document by construction: provider credentials
reach managed instances only as process env vars (each provider's
documented fallback, e.g. `DAYTONA_API_KEY` for the Daytona plugin).
## Verification
```sh
cd server
pnpm exec tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json
pnpm exec vitest run \
src/__tests__/managed-config.test.ts \
src/services/managed-environments.test.ts \
src/services/execution-policy-bootstrap.test.ts \
src/__tests__/environment-service.test.ts \
src/__tests__/environment-instance-routes.test.ts \
src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts \
src/__tests__/plugin-install-guard.test.ts \
src/__tests__/environment-execution-target.test.ts \
src/__tests__/instance-settings-managed-overlay.test.ts \
src/__tests__/bundled-plugins.test.ts
```
All pass locally (typecheck clean; environment-service suite runs
against embedded Postgres and exercises the refactored Kubernetes
wrapper plus the new generic ensure: create/refresh, provider switch,
unmanaged-row adoption, name-conflict fallback). New tests cover the
parser (12 cases incl. secret-key rejection at depth) and the boot step
(no-op, mutual exclusion, pass-through, fail-safe).
## Risks
- **Self-hosted: none intended.** Without `PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG`
nothing new executes; the `PAPERCLIP_EXECUTION_MODE=kubernetes` path is
regression-covered by the existing bootstrap/service/route suites (all
green).
- **Behavioral shift in `ensureKubernetesEnvironment` (deliberate):** it
now also refreshes `name`/`description` to their managed defaults each
boot (desired-state semantics, same as config today) and adopts a
`managedByPaperclip` sandbox row that lacks the Kubernetes marker —
previously that state made the ensure throw every boot.
- **New startup failure modes are all explicit misconfigurations**
(malformed section, provider not auto-installed, secret in config,
execution-mode conflict) and fail with precise errors; DB-side ensure
failures never block boot (fail-safe per entry, logged).
- No migrations; no API surface changes.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandbox-backed runs need more precise startup observability so
operators can see where time is spent before an adapter is invoked
> - Aggregate startup timing hides which boundary is actually slow,
especially in remote execution where the bottleneck can move between
host round-trips, provider-boundary latency, and handshake phases
> - This pull request keeps the existing startup timing channel additive
while attributing the latency to the specific startup steps that caused
it
> - The benefit is better diagnosis of sandbox startup regressions
without changing control flow or introducing a schema migration
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs: #10204
This PR extends the existing sandbox run-startup timing observability
with per-step round-trip and provider-latency attribution for the
Daytona startup path. It keeps the event payload additive and free-form,
and it leaves the control flow, database schema, and external adapter
interfaces unchanged.
## What Changed
- Added per-step round-trip counting for the host-to-sandbox execute
seam
- Added provider-boundary duration accumulation for the Daytona execute
and re-fetch steps
- Split the ACP handshake timing into `createRuntimeMs` and
`ensureSessionMs` while preserving the warm-handle skip
- Kept the startup timing payload additive and did not add a schema
migration
## Verification
- `adapter-utils` acpx-engine and startup-timing suites: pass
- Daytona plugin suite: pass with mocked SDK and injected-clock duration
assertions
- `server` environment-execution-target suite: pass
- `tsc --noEmit` for adapter-utils and server: pass
- Git validation: fetched
`origin/feat/sandbox-start-step-timing-attribution`, confirmed it
matches the authorized submit SHA
`53c573266e618af05c57a0720aaa9d9e0452de61`, and confirmed the branch
contains only the expected commit on top of `origin/master`
- Searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs/issues; found one closely
related merged PR and no open duplicate on this branch
- Checked `ROADMAP.md`; the broad sandbox-agent roadmap section does not
call out this specific startup-timing attribution work as a duplicate
## Risks
- Low risk: the change is additive and only enriches existing timing
data
- Downstream consumers that assume aggregate-only startup timing may
need to tolerate the additional per-step fields
- The finer spawn/initialize/session split remains a follow-up in the
external ACP client because that hook is not available here yet

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work; it ships as a Docker image that self-hosters and managed
deployments run.
> - The server resolves its own version at runtime in
`server/src/version.ts` (`resolveServerVersion()`), which feeds
analytics and the server debug panel.
> - That resolver derives the real version from `git describe`, and
falls back to `server/package.json`'s `version` when git isn't
available.
> - But `server/package.json`'s version is a static placeholder — CI
only stamps the real CalVer at publish, so in source it is never the
real version (currently `0.3.1`).
> - A Docker image has no `.git` (it's dockerignored), so `git describe`
can't run inside it. Every image therefore falls back to the placeholder
and reports `0.3.1` in analytics and the debug panel, regardless of
which commit it was built from.
> - This PR computes the real version once on the CI build runner (where
`.git` and tags exist), bakes it into the image, and has
`resolveServerVersion()` prefer that stamp when `git describe` is
unavailable.
> - The benefit: self-hosted and cloud images report their true version
instead of a misleading placeholder, with no change to dev checkouts,
`git describe`-based resolution, or local `docker build`.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists — describing the bug inline (per the bug report
template).
**What happened?**
Docker images built from `master` (and release tags) report the server
version as the `0.3.1` placeholder in analytics and the server debug
panel, instead of the real version of the commit the image was built
from.
**Expected behavior**
An image reports the real version of its build commit (e.g.
`2026.722.0+51.git.<sha>`), so operators can tell which build is
running.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Build the server Docker image from any `master` commit (the `Docker`
workflow, `production` target).
2. Run the image and open the server debug panel (or inspect the version
reported to analytics).
3. Observe the version is `0.3.1` rather than the commit's real version.
**Root cause**
`resolveServerVersion()` derives the real version from `git describe`,
but the image has no `.git` (dockerignored), so it falls back to
`server/package.json`'s `version` — a static placeholder CI only
replaces with the real CalVer at publish time. Nothing bakes the real
version into the image.
**Paperclip version or commit:** reproduces on `master` (`4c55f0d8`) and
any published image.
**Deployment mode:** self-hosted and managed (both the `production` and
`-cloud` images).
**Installation method:** Docker image (`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip`).
**Related PRs (dedup search):** #9103 (merged — added the `git
describe`-based source-install resolution this builds on) and #9637
(closed). Neither bakes a version into the image; this PR closes that
gap. No duplicate found.
## What Changed
- **`.github/workflows/docker.yml`** — checkout with full history + tags
(`fetch-depth: 0`), and a new `Compute build version` step that runs
`git describe --tags --match 'v*' --long --dirty` on the pristine runner
checkout. The result is passed as a `PAPERCLIP_BUILD_VERSION` build-arg
to both the `production` and `-cloud` image builds.
- **`Dockerfile`** — the `production` stage takes an `ARG
PAPERCLIP_BUILD_VERSION` (default empty) and bakes it into the runtime
`ENV`; the `cloud` stage inherits it via `FROM production`.
- **`server/src/build-version.ts`** (new) — `readBuildVersion()` /
`parseBuildVersion()`, mirroring `build-commit.ts`: reads
`PAPERCLIP_BUILD_VERSION` (or a `.paperclip-build-version` file) as a
single-token stamp.
- **`server/src/version.ts`** — `resolveServerVersion()` prefers the
baked build version when `git describe` is unavailable, parsing it with
the same rules as a live checkout (`parseGitDescribeVersion`), and
falling through to the existing `build-commit` stamp and package version
when unset. A live checkout's `git describe` still wins over any stamp.
- Tests for the new behavior and the precedence.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk ensure-build-deps && tsc
--noEmit` in `server/` — clean.
- `vitest run server/src/__tests__/version.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/build-version.test.ts` — **23 tests pass**,
covering: stamped version used when git describe fails, stamp parsed to
real CalVer, stamp preferred over the build-commit fallback, on-tag
stamp collapses to the release version, a pre-resolved stamp used
verbatim, and a live git describe still winning over a stamp.
- `git describe --tags --match 'v*' --long` for this commit →
`v2026.722.0-51-g<sha>`, which `resolveServerVersion()` reports as
`2026.722.0+51.git.<sha>` — no longer `0.3.1`.
- Not run locally: the full multi-arch image build (CI-only). The
workflow change is verified by inspection; the version is computed on
the pristine checkout before any lockfile refresh, so it carries no
spurious `-dirty`.
## Risks
Low. Additive and image-only:
- No runtime behavior changes for dev checkouts (git describe still
primary and wins over any stamp) or for local `docker build` (empty arg
→ server keeps its existing fallbacks).
- Not a breaking change; no schema or API surface. The stamp is
informational (version reporting only).
- `fetch-depth: 0` makes the release-image checkout fetch full
history/tags — a modest cost on a workflow that already runs at release
cadence with a 60-minute budget.
- Rollback: revert the commit; images simply return to reporting the
placeholder.
## Model Used
Claude Opus 4.8 (`claude-opus-4-8`, 1M-context variant), extended
thinking, with tool use / code execution — agentic edits, `tsc` +
`vitest` runs, and a `git describe` resolution check.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Task watchdogs review issue subtrees when no run or queued wake
keeps work live
> - Pending human interactions and approvals are valid stopped states
that still need one watchdog review
> - The existing fingerprint included volatile activity timestamps, so
unchanged stopped trees could wake repeatedly after comments, documents,
work products, or sibling completions
> - This pull request fingerprints only review-material leaf and wait
state, persists the reviewed snapshot, and suppresses shrink-only
repeats
> - The benefit is one review per materially new stopped state without
weakening liveness classification or hiding human waits
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### What happened?
Task-watchdog stop fingerprints changed for metadata-only activity and
completed siblings, producing duplicate wakes after an unchanged stop
had already been reviewed.
### Expected behavior
Pending interactions and approvals remain classified as stopped, but a
reviewed stopped state only wakes again when waits, non-terminal leaves,
status, assignment, or blockers gain material changes.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Review a stopped watched subtree with a pending human wait or
multiple non-terminal stopped leaves.
2. Add only comment/document/work-product activity, or complete one
stopped sibling without changing the wait set.
3. Observe a duplicate wake from the timestamp-heavy fingerprint.
Related public work: Refs #9452 for overlapping task-watchdog service
edits and #10043 for related no-op fingerprint suppression.
## What Changed
- Added fingerprint v2 over non-terminal material leaves plus
subtree-wide pending wait ids, excluding volatile timestamps while
retaining them in wake context.
- Added nullable observed/reviewed JSONB stop snapshots and shrink-only
reviewed-state suppression with legacy exact-fingerprint fallback.
- Added pending interaction kinds and approval ids to watchdog wake
context, review comments, and comment metadata.
- Added classifier and scheduler coverage for waiting-leaf liveness,
metadata stability, sibling shrink suppression, material changes,
snapshot promotion, legacy rows, and unchanged idempotency keys.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/task-watchdogs-classifier.test.ts
src/__tests__/task-watchdogs-scheduler.test.ts` — 2 files, 36 tests
passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed.
## Risks
- Fingerprint version 2 intentionally re-fingerprints every currently
stopped watched tree once after deployment, causing a one-time wake
burst before the new reviewed snapshots are established.
- Migration `0191_task_watchdog_stop_snapshots.sql` only adds two
nullable JSONB columns with no backfill; legacy rows continue
exact-fingerprint behavior until a post-deploy review promotes a
snapshot.
- PR #9452 edits the same service file; whichever lands second may need
a trivial rebase.

## Model Used

context-window size.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane people use to coordinate AI agents
and their execution environments.
> - Environment realization decides where an agent runs and which
filesystem and toolchain are authoritative.
> - Copy-based realization is unsafe for container-anchored tasks
because absolute paths such as `/app` can point outside the synchronized
tree and task-specific binaries may be absent.
> - That mismatch can let an agent successfully verify work in a phantom
writable path while sync-back silently discards the result.
> - Existing task environments already provide the authoritative
filesystem and toolchain, so they should be executed in place rather
than copied.
> - Copy mode still needs explicit confinement rules so aliases target
the synchronized workspace and unsynchronized writable paths fail
visibly.
> - This pull request adds typed realization metadata, propagates the
authoritative root through orchestration, and teaches Codex to honor it.
> - The benefit is that container-anchored tasks operate on
verifier-visible state with the intended tools, while copy mode remains
safe and backward compatible.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this defect.
GitHub duplicate searches for in-place execution, workspace realization,
and authoritative workspace roots found no related pull request to link.
### What happened?
Environment-backed agent runs were always realized through a copied
workspace. Tasks anchored to absolute container paths could therefore
write outside the synchronized tree, and task-provided toolchains were
unavailable in the copy. A run could report success even though
sync-back discarded its output.
### Expected behavior
Existing task environments should run against their real authoritative
root and toolchain. Copy-mode runs should map declared absolute aliases
into the synchronized tree and reject writable paths that cannot be
restored.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Run a Codex task environment whose required files live under `/app`
or `/workspace` and whose required binary exists only in the task
container.
2. Observe that copy realization changes the effective
filesystem/toolchain or permits writes outside the synchronized root.
3. Complete and verify the task inside the agent sandbox.
4. Observe that the verifier cannot see out-of-tree artifacts or that
task-specific commands were unavailable.
### Reproduction context
- Paperclip commit: `3a16b91217483d2c233926de5b7f7bc3a1077924`
- Deployment: built from source in a task-container execution
environment
- Adapter: Codex local
- Database: not database-related
- Access context: agent execution
## What Changed
- Added typed `copy | in_place` workspace-realization metadata,
authoritative roots, confined aliases, and outbound restore paths to
shared execution-target contracts.
- Selected in-place realization for existing task environments and
skipped archive prepare/restore when the authoritative environment is
used directly.
- Propagated the authoritative root into adapter context so Codex uses
it for cwd and `PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACE_*` semantics, including ACP
execution.
- Bound copy-mode aliases such as `/app` to the synchronized workspace
and rejected writable out-of-tree paths without explicit restore
mappings.
- Added focused regression coverage while preserving existing copy-mode
archive restore behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/local-process-sandbox.test.ts
packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/acp.test.ts
packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/execute.remote.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-run-orchestrator.test.ts` — 48 passed,
4 skipped.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `env -u AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -u AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY -u
AWS_SESSION_TOKEN pnpm test:run` — passed across all general and
serialized Vitest shards.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- Codex `k=1` acceptance run completed July 24, 2026 at 23:54:30 UTC
with 4 completed, 0 exceptions, and mean reward 1.0: `build-cython-ext`,
`openssl-selfsigned-cert`, `prove-plus-comm`, and `sqlite-db-truncate`
each received terminal grade 1.0 against real task-environment paths and
toolchains.
## Risks
- In-place mode deliberately exposes the authoritative task root to the
adapter; incorrect environment metadata could point execution at the
wrong root. Typed metadata and focused orchestration tests cover
selection and propagation.
- Copy-mode writable-path validation is stricter and may reject
previously accepted unsafe configurations. The rejection is intentional
and produces a visible error instead of silently losing output.
- The acceptance run is focused on four Codex task-environment
workloads, not a broad cross-adapter benchmark. Existing copy-mode
archive tests and the full repository suite remain green.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server has a gateway layer that coordinates tool execution and
runtime slots
> - The idle-down test for the local stdio fixture slot was relying on
real wall-clock timing
> - On slower runners, that made the test nondeterministic because the
slot could be reaped before the presence assertion ran
> - This pull request switches the test to use the existing injectable
clock seam so time only advances when the test says it should
> - The benefit is that the idle-down behavior stays covered while the
test becomes deterministic and no longer flakes under load
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This PR fixes a flaky gateway test in the server test suite. The
`tool-gateway` idle-down scenario was asserting slot presence while also
depending on a very short real-time idle TTL and a later sleep-based
reap. On loaded runners, the intervening work could exceed the TTL,
which caused the slot to disappear early and the assertion to see an
empty list.
The fix keeps the production code path unchanged and drives the test
from the supervisor's existing injectable clock. The test now holds time
steady through the presence check, then advances the clock past the idle
deadline to trigger the reap deterministically. The original behavioral
assertions stay intact: slot reuse, counter increments, metadata, and
stop status still get verified.
## What Changed
- Replaced the real-time idle-down wait in the `tool-gateway` test with
the runtime supervisor's injectable clock seam.
- Kept the existing assertions for slot reuse, slot identity, counters,
metadata, and stop behavior.
- Removed the test's dependency on wall-clock timing so the idle-down
path is deterministic under load.
## Verification
- Targeted server typecheck passed with `tsc --noEmit`.
- `tool-gateway.test.ts` passed in full: 49/49.
- The targeted idle-down scenario passed 50/50 in a tight loop with 0
failures after the clock injection change.
## Risks
- Low risk: this is a test-only change and does not modify production
gateway logic.
- The test now exercises the idle-down logic through a controlled clock
rather than real elapsed time, which is the point of the fix but does
slightly reduce wall-clock realism in the test itself.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex (GPT-5), tool-using coding agent; context window not
surfaced in the workspace.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Scheduled routines provide recurring control-plane work without
manual intervention
> - The new activity gate can suppress scheduled runs when no external
work occurred
> - The core scheduler and database support landed without a public
create/update contract
> - Agents, operators, and managed plugins need validated fields plus
discoverable semantics to opt in safely
> - This pull request exposes the activity gate through routine APIs,
revisions, plugin contracts, tests, and skill documentation
> - The benefit is backward-compatible control over idle scheduled work
without losing activity-triggered follow-up
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Refs #8534
## What Changed
- Added shared activity-gate policy and scope enums with create/PATCH
validation.
- Persisted activity-gate fields through routine creation, updates,
revision snapshots, pipeline snapshots, and revision restores.
- Defaulted legacy revision snapshots during restore and added
regression coverage for pre-field snapshots.
- Extended managed-plugin routine declarations, production
reconciliation, and the SDK test harness to preserve non-default gate
settings.
- Added end-to-end API coverage for create/PATCH/list/detail
round-trips, defaults, and invalid enum rejection.
- Documented schedule-only semantics, activity windows,
own-run/read-action exclusions, scopes, and an hourly quiet-night
watcher example.

- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- GitHub CI: all final-head checks green; Storybook visual regression
skipped by path rules.
- Greptile: 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.
## Risks
- Low risk: defaults remain `always` and `company`, preserving existing
routine behavior and old revision snapshots.
- Managed plugin manifests can now declare the same validated gate
settings as the public routine API; omitted values retain core defaults.
- Revision snapshots now include the new fields so policy changes are
not lost or treated as no-ops during restore.
> For core feature work, checked `ROADMAP.md`: this extends the existing
Scheduled Routines roadmap item and does not duplicate a separate

## Thinking Path

work

later changes can produce useful deltas

update even when those issues do not match the card's configured queries

set, so their later status, assignee, or comment changes could be missed

> - This pull request resolves issue references when a summary is
written, persists them, and joins them to the watched snapshot with
stable delta semantics
> - The benefit is that status cards continue tracking the exact issues

and non-duplicative
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Pre-submission checklist
- [x] I have searched existing open and closed issues and this is not a
duplicate.
- [x] I am on the latest released version of Paperclip (or can reproduce
on `master`).
- [x] I have confirmed the error originates in Paperclip itself — not in
my agent adapter, API provider, or local configuration.
### What happened?
When a status-card summary explicitly referenced an issue by identifier
or `/issues/<uuid>` URL, that issue was not automatically retained in
the card's watched set unless it independently matched a configured
query. Later status, assignee, or comment changes to an issue
highlighted by the latest update could therefore be omitted.
### Expected behavior
References in the latest summary should resolve only within the card's
company, appear in dry runs and the watched-issues UI, count and
fingerprint like query matches, and enter or leave the watched set
without artificial added/removed deltas already represented by the
summary change.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Create a status card whose query does not match a second issue in the
same company.
2. Write a summary that references the second issue by identifier or
issue URL.
3. Inspect the card's watched count or Watched issues tab.
4. Change the referenced issue's status, assignee, or comments and run
the next update.
5. Before this change, the referenced issue is absent from the watched
snapshot and its later change does not produce the expected delta.
### Paperclip version or commit
- Reproduced on `master` before this PR (base commit `762ce5b4ef`).
### Deployment mode
- Local dev (`pnpm dev`), built from source.
### Agent adapter(s) involved
- Not adapter-specific (core bug).
### Database mode
- Embedded Postgres test environment; the schema change uses standard
PostgreSQL JSONB.
### Access context
- Board (human operator).
## What Changed
- Added migration `0191` and schema support for persisted
`status_cards.mentioned_issue_ids`.
- Resolved summary references by issue identifier or `/issues/<uuid>`
URL within the status card's company when summaries are written.
- Joined mentioned issues into watched counts and fingerprints so later
status, assignee, and comment changes generate normal update deltas.
- Suppressed artificial added/removed deltas when the latest summary
starts or stops mentioning an issue.
- Added `mentionedIssues` to dry-run responses and a “Mentioned in the
latest update” group in the Watched issues tab.
- Updated the summarizer prompt to explain that referenced issues
automatically join the watched set.
- Added focused server and UI coverage for reference resolution,
snapshot behavior, deltas, API responses, and rendering.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/status-cards.test.ts
src/__tests__/status-card-update-engine.test.ts` — 31 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/pages/StatusCards/StatusCardTile.test.tsx` — 11 tests passed.
- Earlier implementation verification also passed database/shared/server
typechecks, UI `tsc -b`, the broader StatusCards UI test set, and
embedded-Postgres migration application.
### Visual Verification
- Greptile T-Rex ran Playwright browser checks successfully and captured
the Status Card drawer Watched tab showing the new “Mentioned in the
latest update” grouping:
https://app.greptile.com/trex/runs/15796101/artifacts
## Risks
- The migration adds a nullable JSONB column and is backward-compatible;
existing cards have no mentioned issues until their next summary write.
- Reference extraction is company-scoped to prevent cross-company issue
association.
- Watched counts and future fingerprints change for cards whose latest
summaries reference issues; tests cover additions, removals, and
suppression of spurious deltas.
- This targeted status-card fix does not introduce a new roadmap
subsystem or external integration.
## Model Used
- Anthropic Claude Fable 5 (Paperclip model alias; exact underlying
provider model ID and context window were not recorded in the
implementation task metadata), with extended reasoning, tool use, and
code execution.
- OpenAI Codex coding agent (runtime model identifier and context window
not exposed to this task) prepared the PR, rebased the branch, and ran
focused verification with terminal tool use.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage AI
agents and their work
> - Heartbeat execution relies on adapters distinguishing agent failures
from failures in the harness running beneath the agent
> - Codex MCP transport crashes can kill the CLI after the JSONL
protocol has started but before it emits a protocol-terminal event
> - Those interrupted streams were left unclassified, so the control
plane terminalized the heartbeat as `heartbeat_failed` / `agent_failure`
with no continuation
> - Agent-level failure is already expressible through the JSONL
protocol via an `error` event, `turn.failed`, or `turn.completed`, so an
interrupted nonzero exit can be classified structurally without
inspecting unstable error strings
> - This pull request reports that shape as `codex_harness_crash` in the
`transient_upstream` family and routes it through Paperclip's existing
bounded retry and recovery-continuation paths
> - The benefit is that transient Codex harness failures recover safely
without misclassifying quoted agent output or depending on
transport-specific wording
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- **What happened:** Codex MCP transport failures, including rmcp worker
death, could terminate the CLI mid-turn after protocol output began but
before any terminal JSONL event. The run then became an unclassified
terminal heartbeat failure with `continuationCount: 0`; this occurred in
3 of 44 L3 Codex-lane trials during the associated benchmark
investigation.
- **Expected behavior:** a nonzero Codex exit after the protocol starts
but before an `error`, `turn.failed`, or `turn.completed` event should
be treated as a harness/infrastructure crash and enter the existing
bounded retry policy.
- **Why structural classification:** transport error strings vary, and
stdout may quote agent output that merely discusses network failures.
The protocol boundary identifies whether the agent itself produced a
terminal result without regex matching.
- **Recovery behavior:** `codex_harness_crash` maps to `errorFamily:
transient_upstream`, using the existing `same_session` →
`safer_invocation` → `fresh_session` ladder plus the
recovery-continuation transient-infrastructure path.
- Supersedes the regex-based approach in #10150, which is closed.
## What Changed
- Added protocol-state tracking that identifies a nonzero exit after
protocol start and before any protocol-terminal event as
`codex_harness_crash`.
- Propagated the structural classification as `transient_upstream`
through the Codex adapter.
- Added parse unit coverage, including a faithful crash-shaped stream,
without matching stderr transport strings.
- Added adapter execution coverage using a fake Codex process that emits
a protocol prefix and then dies with the observed rmcp stderr line.
- Added heartbeat bounded-retry coverage, including the `errorCode`-only
fallback, and recovery-continuation classification coverage.
## Verification
- `parse.test.ts` — 16 passed.
- `codex-local-execute.test.ts` — 16 passed.
- `heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts` — 30 passed.
- `service.pause-durability.test.ts` — 6 passed.
- Server and Codex adapter TypeScript checks passed.
- The branch commit is unchanged from the tested and pushed `88f5464d40`
handoff.
## Risks
- Low risk: the classification requires a nonzero exit after protocol
start and before any protocol-terminal event, so normal agent-declared
failures and completed turns keep their existing behavior.
- The change intentionally broadens recovery for structurally
interrupted Codex runs; bounded retry limits still prevent indefinite
continuation loops.
- No schema, migration, public API, UI, lockfile, or workflow changes.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Heartbeat wake payloads and the task-context markdown are the two
channels that deliver an issue's brief into an agent's prompt
> - #10151 fixed wake-prompt-only adapter lanes waking without the issue
description by adding it to the structured wake payload
> - That left the description delivered twice per prompt on lanes that
also inject the task-context markdown, and re-delivered in full on every
resume wake, permanently bloating persistent-session context
> - This pull request makes the task markdown the single description
carrier on lanes that use it, and omits the description from
non-assignment resume deltas on all lanes while keeping it for
assignment-shaped and recovery wakes
> - The benefit is that every lane receives the brief exactly once when
it needs it, and long-lived sessions stop re-paying the full brief in
tokens on every wake
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #10151
Related prior work: #2883, #8402 (earlier description-delivery attempts
referenced by #10151). I searched the PR list for open work on
wake-payload description handling and found none besides the merged
#10151.
**Bug:** After #10151, adapters that inject the `Paperclip task context`
markdown (ACPX engine lanes, claude-local CLI, hermes server and
gateway) receive the issue description twice in a single prompt — once
in the wake prompt's `Issue description:` block and once in the task
markdown. Separately, resume deltas re-send the full description (up to
12k characters) on every wake even though the persistent session already
received it.
**Expected behavior:** The description appears exactly once per prompt
on every lane, and resume deltas only carry it when the resuming session
may not have seen the brief (assignment-shaped or recovery wakes),
leaving an explicit fetch breadcrumb otherwise.
**Reproduction:** Wake a claude-local or ACPX agent on an issue with a
description and inspect the assembled prompt: the description text
appears in both the wake-payload block and the task-context block. Wake
the same session again via a comment: the full description is present
again in the resume delta.
**Affected version:** Current `master` (with #10151 merged).
**Deployment mode:** Adapter-backed heartbeat execution, local and
sandboxed lanes.
## What Changed
- `renderPaperclipWakePrompt` accepts `suppressIssueDescription`; the
four task-markdown lanes pass it so the task markdown stays the single,
uncapped description carrier there.
- Non-assignment resume deltas omit the description and emit `- issue
description: omitted from this resume delta; fetch the issue if you need
the latest brief`. Assignment-shaped reasons (`issue_assigned`,
`issue_reopened_via_comment`, `issue_recovery_action_restored`,
`issue_tree_restored`) and recovery wakes still deliver the full brief.
- `buildPaperclipTaskMarkdown` gains `includeDescription`; the server
now also publishes `context.paperclipTaskMarkdownCompact` (description
stripped, directives and wake comment kept), and the new
`selectPaperclipTaskMarkdown` helper picks the right variant under the
same resume rules, falling back to the full markdown when no compact
variant exists (version skew safety).
- The wake prompt's description block now carries the same user-authored
trust framing the task markdown already had.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/acp.test.ts
packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/acp.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-context-summary.test.ts` — 137 tests
passed, including new coverage for suppression, resume omission plus
breadcrumb, assignment-shaped resume inclusion, compact-variant
building, variant selection, and an end-to-end ACPX prompt-assembly test
asserting the description appears exactly once on fresh wakes and not at
all on comment resumes.
- `npx vitest run` in `packages/adapters/hermes` — 59 tests passed,
including a gateway execute-level test asserting the brief is sent
exactly once on fresh runs and not re-sent on stable-session resumes.
- `tsc --noEmit` in `packages/adapter-utils`,
`packages/adapters/claude-local`, `packages/adapters/hermes` — clean;
`server` matches the `master` baseline exactly (pre-existing plugin-sdk
resolution errors only, none in touched files).
- Pre-existing failures confirmed identical on clean `master`:
claude-local `execute.remote.test.ts` / `test.probe.test.ts`,
adapter-utils `mcp-isolation.integration.test.ts` (requires a newer
local Claude CLI).
## Risks
- Behavioral shift, prompt-only: a resumed session woken by a comment on
an issue it never handled (rare — assignment wakes normally precede
comment wakes) would not get the inline description; the breadcrumb plus
the standard issue-fetch path covers it.
- Additive context key (`paperclipTaskMarkdownCompact`); older adapters
ignore it and newer adapters fall back to the full markdown when it is
absent, so mixed-version deployments degrade to current behavior.
- No schema, migration, or API changes; the structured wake-payload JSON
shape is unchanged.
- Known follow-up deliberately out of scope: openclaw embeds the raw
wake-payload JSON (which still contains the description) in prompt text
for machine parsing. The hermes-gateway lane is handled: it detects
stable-session resumes (issue/agent session-key strategy plus a stored
prior session id), compacts the task markdown, and omits the description
from its prompt-embedded JSON copy.
> This is a focused correctness/efficiency fix to existing wake plumbing
and does not overlap with planned roadmap feature work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes: #5844Fixes: #2882
Related prior attempts: #2883 and #8402. This change adds focused
regression coverage and enforces the missing long-description fallback
invariant.
**Bug:** Issue-assignment wake payloads omitted the issue description
from the structured payload even when the issue had a populated
description.
**Expected behavior:** The structured wake payload includes the issue
description. If the description must be truncated for payload size,
`fallbackFetchNeeded` is `true`.
**Reproduction:** Assign an issue with a description to an agent and
inspect `PAPERCLIP_WAKE_PAYLOAD_JSON`; before this change,
`issue.description` was absent while `fallbackFetchNeeded` could remain
`false`.
**Affected version:** Reproduced on current `master` before this patch.
**Deployment mode:** Adapter-backed heartbeat execution, including local
Codex agents.
## What Changed
- Include `issues.description` in the server wake-payload query and
supplied issue summaries.
- Bound inline descriptions at 12,000 characters and force fallback
fetch when truncation occurs.
- Preserve and render description metadata through shared adapter
normalization and prompt rendering.
- Add focused tests for long-description fallback and exact brief-string
rendering.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-agent-session-message.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts` — 81 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
## Risks
- Low risk: the payload shape is additive.
- Very long descriptions are truncated at 12,000 characters; the payload
explicitly requests a fallback fetch for the full brief.
- Prompt size increases by the issue-description length for scoped
wakes, bounded by the same limit.
> This is a focused correctness fix and does not overlap with planned
roadmap feature work.
## Model Used
- OpenAI GPT-5.4 via Codex CLI, with reasoning, repository tool use,
shell execution, and test execution. The runtime did not expose a
context-window size.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to coordinate
AI agents and their work.
> - The heartbeat recovery subsystem detects successful runs that leave
assigned issues `in_progress` without a durable disposition or
continuation path.
> - The existing corrective wake used a cheap, status-only model
profile, so the assignee could not perform missing verification or
deliverable work before choosing the issue disposition.
> - The existing wake prompt also omitted the original issue context and
the agent's own final report, making an honest finish/blocked/continue
decision harder.
> - This pull request keeps the structural handoff guards and
one-attempt loop bound, but wakes the assignee on its normal model lane
with context-rich instructions.
> - The benefit is that Paperclip asks the responsible agent to inspect
its own evidence, perform the smallest missing verification when needed,
and then record a real disposition without server-side prose
classification.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related prior approach: #10154 (closed; this PR intentionally does not
reuse its regex classifier or route-level gate).
**Problem**
A succeeded agent run can leave its issue `in_progress` with no valid
disposition. Paperclip already detects this structurally and queues a
corrective handoff, but that wake currently runs as cheap/status-only
recovery and receives little context. The assignee may be unable to
create deliverables or verify the work, and the prompt does not quote
the report that caused the ambiguity.
**Expected behavior**
The corrective wake should use the assignee's normal model and adapter
settings, include the issue identifier/title/description, quote the
agent's own final report, include any recorded next action, preserve the
four disposition options, and explicitly require concrete verification
before marking the issue done.
**Scope**
This change does not classify run prose, add a route-level disposition
gate, alter run-liveness classification, or change the one-attempt
handoff loop bound.
## What Changed
- Switched successful-run corrective handoff payloads and context
snapshots from `status_only` to `normal_model`, removing cheap-model and
status-only guard hints.
- Added issue description, final-report, next-action, and
detected-progress fallback context to the handoff decision and
instruction builder.
- Reworked the instruction into clear "supposed to do / what happened /
options / what to do" sections with bounded description/report excerpts
and verbatim blockquotes.
- Added unit and heartbeat integration coverage for normal-lane
payloads, context plumbing, evidence quoting, fallback behavior, and
truncation while preserving structural skip tests.
## Verification
- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/recovery/successful-run-handoff.test.ts` — 24 tests passed.
- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts -t "queues one
finish-handoff wake when a successful run leaves in-progress work
without a next action"` — 1 passed, 90 skipped.
- `pnpm --dir server typecheck` — passed.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
## Risks
- Low-to-moderate behavioral risk: an ambiguous successful run now
consumes the assignee's normal model rather than a cheap profile and may
perform verification or finish work before disposition.
- Prompt excerpts are bounded to approximately 1,200 description
characters and 2,000 report characters; very long context is
intentionally ellipsized.
- The existing structural skip guards, idempotency key, and single
corrective attempt remain unchanged to prevent loops.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies and their ongoing work.
> - Status cards turn a standing question into recurring,
agent-generated summaries on the board.
> - The existing setup split intent across a watch prompt and separate
update instructions, which made creation and later behavior harder to
understand.
> - A status card should have one durable source of truth for both
deciding what to watch and telling the summarizer what each update must
contain.
> - This pull request makes the card prompt that source of truth,
simplifies creation to one step, and lets operators choose the running
agent immediately.
> - The benefit is a smaller mental model, fewer configuration modes,
and consistent update instructions throughout the card lifecycle.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Status cards currently require operators to express the same intent in
two places: the watch prompt and optional update instructions with
append/replace/none modes. This feature simplifies the experimental
status-card workflow so a single prompt defines both the watch query and
every generated update. The create flow must also support selecting the
responsible agent without a second setup step.
Related prior status-card work: #10101.
## What Changed
- Use the status card's single prompt to compile the watch query and
directly instruct every summary update.
- Add migration `0190_status_card_single_prompt` to remove
`status_cards.instructions_mode` and `status_cards.instructions`.
- Add `agentId` to `createStatusCardSchema`, validate company
membership, and default new cards to the built-in Summarizer.
- Replace the two-step create flow with one prompt-and-agent dialog and
extract a shared `SummarizerAgentSelect` for create/settings surfaces.
- Remove the extra-instructions settings section, reset incremental
history when the prompt changes, and rename the board page to "Status".
- Update the bundled `status-card-query` skill and board-operator
documentation, then regenerate the skills catalog manifest.
## Verification
- Server status-card suites: 29/29 passing.
- UI `StatusCards` suites: 22/22 passing.
- Skills catalog suite: 20/20 passing.
- `tsc -b` passes for server, UI, shared, and database packages.
- `pnpm check:migrations` passes.
- Light and dark mode screenshots cover the new create dialog and
settings tab.
## Risks
- Migration `0190` intentionally drops existing separate instruction
text. Existing card prompts remain and become the update instructions
under the new model; status cards are experimental and feature-flagged.
- Prompt edits now reset the incremental summary chain and trigger a
full rebuild, which is intentional because the prompt is also the update
contract.
- Agent selection is company-scoped; invalid agent ids return a
validation error rather than creating a misrouted card.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies.
> - Operators need a board-level way to monitor a changing slice of
company work without repeatedly rebuilding filters or reading raw task
threads.
> - Existing summaries are useful snapshots, but they do not provide a
dedicated query-backed card with refresh policy, change tracking, update
history, and per-update cost visibility.
> - The capability needs to be safe to evaluate before it becomes part
of the default product surface.
> - This pull request adds end-to-end experimental Status Cards, from
schema and query compilation through update orchestration and operator
UI.
> - The entire feature is gated behind the `enableStatusCards`
experimental toggle, including its route and sidebar entry.
> - The benefit is a governed, inspectable way to keep focused
operational rollups current while preserving explicit controls over
refresh frequency and spend.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Subsystem affected
Cross-cutting (`packages/db`, `packages/shared`, `server/`, `ui/`, and
bundled skills/docs).
### Problem or motivation
Operators cannot currently define a reusable natural-language view of
company work, compile it into an inspectable query, and keep its summary
current as matching issues change. Rebuilding filters and rereading task
threads makes board-level monitoring repetitive and hides the
relationship between source changes, refresh cost, and the resulting
summary.
### Proposed solution
Add experimental Status Cards that compile operator intent into a query,
summarize matched work, record each update, expose
manual/interval/reactive refresh policies and costs, and preserve the
last good result across stale, updating, paused, and error states. The
capability is off by default and fully gated behind `enableStatusCards`,
including its route and navigation entry.
### Alternatives considered
- Extend existing one-off summaries: rejected because status cards
require persistent query provenance, refresh policy, update history, and
card-specific cost controls.
- Add a dashboard-only filter widget: rejected because it would not
provide governed background refresh, an update ledger, or an inspectable
compile pipeline.
- Ship the surface by default: rejected in favor of an experimental
toggle while behavior and operator value are evaluated.
### Roadmap alignment
This advances Paperclip’s board-level execution visibility and
output-first product goals. `ROADMAP.md` was checked and no duplicate
status-card initiative was found.
### Additional context
No related open PR was found in the public GitHub search for status
cards. The PR-only design wireframes were removed from the repository
after review; the published prototype remains external to the production
source tree.
## What Changed
- Added company-scoped status-card schema, CRUD APIs, compile
provenance, update ledger, shared contracts, validators, and OpenAPI
coverage.
- Added the text-to-query compile pipeline, bundled `status-card-query`
agent skill, query versioning, and authorized write-back flow.
- Added the experimental board, create flow, lifecycle tiles,
detail/settings/debug drawers, archived view, routing, navigation, and
instance setting.
- Added a change-gated update engine with manual, interval, and reactive
refresh policies, trigger selection, active hours, and daily token caps.
- Added per-update token/cost recording, today and lifetime rollups, and
policy-derived cost previews.
- Added operator documentation and agent-authoring hardening for compile
and update behavior.
- Added PR-prep integration coverage for settings/startup wiring and
replaced raw UI values with design-system tokens.
- Removed the PR-only `design/pap-15023-status-cards` wireframe
artifacts so the repository contains only production feature assets.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passes on the PR head; includes `ui` `tsc -b`
passing. The UI compile gate was also independently recorded as passing
at `6d7f3cf96b` on July 23, 2026.
- `pnpm build` — passes.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passes with all three gates clean.
- `pnpm test:run` — 2,880 tests passed and 1 skipped; the sole failure
was an unrelated 10-second `afterAll` database-cleanup timeout in
`execution-workspaces-service.test.ts`.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts` — passes on
immediate focused rerun (25/25).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts` — passes (31/31).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/pages/StatusCards/StatusCardSettingsForm.test.tsx
src/pages/StatusCards/StatusCardTile.test.tsx
src/pages/StatusCards/format.test.ts src/lib/status-card-state.test.ts`
— passes (26/26).
- Recorded pre-PR QA: compile-pipeline e2e PASS; full lifecycle and cost
QA PASS; security re-review PASS after write-back hardening; UX
approved.
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/db/src/status-card-migrations.test.ts`
— passes; reapplies migrations `0185`–`0189` against an already-migrated
embedded Postgres database.
- `pnpm --filter /db check:migrations` — passes migration numbering and
safety checks.
- `pnpm --filter /db typecheck` — passes.
- Merged current `origin/master` on July 24, 2026 with no conflicts;
migrations `0185`–`0189` remain unclaimed on master.
## Risks
- The feature introduces five database migrations and a new background
update path; all new DDL is repeat-safe after partial application,
migration numbering/safety checks pass, and update execution is
company-scoped and change-gated.
- Natural-language compilation can produce invalid or overly broad
queries; compile provenance, query validation, debug visibility, and
version history make failures inspectable and recoverable.
- Reactive or interval refresh could increase spend; active hours, max
refresh frequency, daily token caps, per-update cost records, and
budget-paused states bound and expose that risk.
- The branch name contains an internal execution identifier because it
is a fixed handoff branch; it was intentionally not renamed or rebased
per the release handoff instructions.
- Overall rollout risk is limited because the route, navigation,
services, and UI are disabled by default behind `enableStatusCards`.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Managed (cloud-hosted) deployments configure instances through
`PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG`, including a `plugins.autoInstall` key list
that the boot-time installer resolves against the bundled plugin catalog
> - The installer requires each bundled plugin's `dist/manifest.js`
(`server/src/services/bundled-plugins.ts`), but the published image only
ships the sandbox providers' *source* — they are intentionally excluded
from the pnpm workspace, and the Dockerfile never builds them
> - Every managed auto-install therefore logs `bundled plugin bundle not
present; skipping auto-install` and no sandbox provider can be
provisioned through managed config
> - Baking built plugins into the single published image would fix it
but makes every self-hosted pull carry the providers' `node_modules` for
a managed-only mechanism
> - This pull request adds a `cloud` Dockerfile target extending
`production` with built bundled plugins — parameterized by build arg and
currently just `daytona` — published alongside the default image with a
`-cloud` tag suffix
> - The benefit is working plugin auto-provisioning for managed
deployments while the self-hosted image stays byte-identical and the
cloud variant only carries what is actually deployed
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#10158 (filed for this problem; no prior issue existed — searched
for duplicate/related PRs and issues around bundled plugins, docker
image variants, and auto-install). Summary: **What happened:** on a
managed instance with `plugins.autoInstall: ["daytona"]` delivered via
`PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG`, boot logs `bundled plugin bundle not
present; skipping auto-install` with `pluginPath:
/app/packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona`, and the plugin is
never installed. **Expected:** the advertised bundled-catalog keys are
installable from the published image. **Why:** the image ships plugin
source without `dist/` — nothing in the Dockerfile builds the
workspace-excluded sandbox providers.
## What Changed
- `Dockerfile`: new `cloud-plugins` stage (based on `build`, so
devDependencies are available for `tsc`) that installs and builds each
provider named in the `CLOUD_BUNDLED_PLUGINS` build arg standalone
(`pnpm install --ignore-workspace --no-lockfile && pnpm build`, exactly
as the providers' READMEs prescribe), asserting `dist/manifest.js`
exists per plugin and failing loudly on unknown names; new `cloud` stage
= `production` + the built plugin tree. The arg defaults to `daytona` —
the only provider managed deployments auto-install today; every entry
adds its `node_modules` to the image, so the list grows only with actual
need (a one-line workflow change).
- `.github/workflows/docker.yml`: the existing build step is pinned to
`target: production` (without this, the new trailing stage would
silently become the default build target — this pin is what keeps the
self-hosted image identical); new metadata + build-push steps publish
the `cloud` target (with `CLOUD_BUNDLED_PLUGINS=daytona`) under the same
tag set with a `-cloud` suffix (`sha-<short>-cloud`, `latest-cloud`,
`<version>-cloud`), same schema labels, reusing the GHA layer cache
## Verification
- All seven sandbox providers build standalone from a clean checkout
with the exact commands the new stage runs, each producing
`dist/manifest.js` — so the current `daytona` default works and future
list additions are known-good
- The stage's shell loop was dry-run against the checkout (directory
existence + per-plugin assertion logic)
- Workflow YAML lints clean
- **Not run:** a full multi-arch `docker build` (no local docker
daemon). The `cloud` stage is additive and the default target is pinned,
so the risk is contained to the new build step; the first master build
after merge proves it end-to-end
## Risks
- Self-hosted behavior: unchanged. The default image build is pinned to
the `production` target, which produces the same layers as before this
change; the `cloud` stages run only for the new build step.
- The plugin installs in the `cloud-plugins` stage use `--no-lockfile`
(the providers are workspace-excluded and lockfile-less by design), so
plugin dependency resolution is not pinned at image-build time. This
mirrors the existing Plugins-page install path, which resolves from npm
at install time.
- CI cost: one additional build-push per master push. It reuses the
layer cache from the production build, so the marginal work is the
single plugin's build layers.
- An unknown name in `CLOUD_BUNDLED_PLUGINS`, or a provider that stops
producing `dist/manifest.js`, fails the cloud build loudly rather than
publishing a broken variant.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Confinement providers protect agent runs with default-deny network
policies
> - Kubernetes environments currently apply only provider-level,
namespace-wide egress allowances
> - Tasks that legitimately need GitHub or package registries therefore
cannot request narrow access, while network failures do not explain the
governing policy or how to request a grant
> - This pull request adds issue-scoped egress grants that become
workload-owned, run-label-selected policies and carries the effective
grant through lease audit metadata
> - The benefit is that internet-dependent work can run without enabling
broad egress for every concurrent task, and denied requests point
operators to the exact grant path
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists. Related but distinct: Refs #9944, which adds a
provider-wide open-internet posture; this PR keeps provider defaults
narrow and adds per-task grants.
**Problem / motivation**
Kubernetes sandbox egress is configured at the provider/tenant level. A
task that needs to clone from GitHub or install from PyPI cannot request
those destinations without changing the policy for every run in the
tenant namespace. DNS/connectivity failures also surface as generic tool
errors with no policy name or remediation path.
**Proposed solution**
Accept `executionWorkspaceSettings.networkEgress.allowFqdns` and
`allowCidrs`, forward the setting through heartbeat environment
acquisition, and create a workload-owned NetworkPolicy or
CiliumNetworkPolicy selected by `paperclip.io/run-id`. Record the
effective grant in lease activity/metadata, expose policy context
through `PAPERCLIP_NETWORK_EGRESS_*`, and append the grant path to
likely policy-related stderr failures.
**Alternatives considered**
A provider-wide open-internet switch is broader than required and is
already covered by #9944. Mutating the existing namespace policy would
leak each task's destinations to other concurrent runs. Standard
Kubernetes NetworkPolicy cannot enforce FQDNs exactly, so standard mode
uses the existing hardened public-IPv4 TCP 80/443 fallback only for the
selected run; Cilium mode remains exact.
**Roadmap alignment**
This extends the existing cloud/sandbox agent roadmap capability with
task-level control-plane policy and does not duplicate a planned roadmap
item.
## What Changed
- Added validated `networkEgress` grants to issue execution workspace
settings and forwarded them through environment lease acquisition.
- Added workload-owned, run-label-scoped
NetworkPolicy/CiliumNetworkPolicy resources for task FQDN/CIDR grants.
- Added lease audit metadata, sandbox policy environment variables, and
actionable network-denial stderr guidance.
- Added focused parser, manifest, policy creation, and denial-message
tests plus Kubernetes provider documentation.
## Verification
- `pnpm -C packages/shared exec vitest run src/validators/issue.test.ts`
— 27 passed.
- `pnpm -C packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/kubernetes test -- --run
test/unit/network-policy.test.ts test/unit/cilium-network-policy.test.ts
test/unit/scoped-network-egress.test.ts` — 21 passed.
- `pnpm -C server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/execution-workspace-policy.test.ts` — 15 passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-plugin-environment.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-runtime.test.ts` — 26 passed.
- `pnpm --dir packages/db build && pnpm --dir packages/shared build &&
pnpm --dir packages/plugins/sdk build` — passed, including migration
safety checks.
- `pnpm --dir packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/kubernetes typecheck &&
pnpm --dir server typecheck` — passed after refreshing the worktree's
frozen offline dependencies.
- End-to-end cluster validation of the `build-cython-ext` benchmark
remains for CI/maintainer Kubernetes infrastructure; the focused tests
assert `github.com` and `pypi.org` produce a policy selected only by the
granted run.
## Risks
- Standard NetworkPolicy cannot express FQDNs, so an FQDN grant allows
hardened public IPv4 TCP 80/443 for that run; use Cilium mode for exact
hostname enforcement.
- The new field is additive and absent by default, so existing runs keep
the current provider-level policy.
- Workload owner references garbage-collect scoped policies with the
Job/Sandbox; a cluster/controller that ignores owner references could
temporarily strand a policy that still selects no future run ID.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip manages agent execution through heartbeat runs and
adapter-specific sessions
> - Plugins can open an agent session and send a conversational message
through the host service
> - The host previously stored that message only in opaque wake payload
metadata, so local adapters never saw it in their CLI prompt
> - The host also forwarded run log chunks but did not expose the
persisted final assistant text as the session reply
> - This pull request defines both sides of the session contract in the
shared wake renderer and terminal run event
> - The benefit is that local adapters receive the actual conversational
turn and plugins receive one canonical final reply
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related context: Refs #629 and Refs #2880 describe adjacent
`claude_local` final-text visibility failures. They concern issue
comments rather than plugin agent sessions, but exercise the same need
for a canonical persisted run summary.
Companion consumer change: paperclipai/paperclip-gateway#3.
Bug description:
- **Observed:** calling the plugin host's
`agents.sessions.sendMessage()` with `prompt: "hello"` woke a
`claude_local` agent, but the generated CLI prompt omitted `hello`. On
completion, the session emitted log chunks and a generic `Run completed`
done event, so callers could not reliably recover the assistant reply.
- **Expected:** the prompt becomes the user-supplied conversational turn
for that agent session, and the successful terminal event carries the
run's canonical final user-facing assistant text.
- **Reproduction:** create a plugin agent session for a local adapter,
call `sendMessage()` with a non-empty prompt, inspect the adapter prompt
and terminal session event.
- **Affected baseline:** `b517b887a` on `master`, local trusted
deployment with plugin host services and `claude_local`; `codex_local`
shared the wake-rendering gap because both use the common Paperclip wake
prompt renderer.
## What Changed
- Added a typed `agentMessage` wake payload rendered by the shared
adapter prompt path used by `claude_local`, `codex_local`, and other
local adapters.
- Labeled session content as user-supplied and explicitly
non-authoritative: it cannot expand authorization, permissions, task
scope, or company boundaries.
- Preserved ordinary heartbeat behavior by omitting the section when no
agent-session message exists.
- Added canonical `finalText` to terminal heartbeat status events from
the already-persisted run summary/result/message.
- Defined successful `AgentSessionEvent.message` as the canonical final
user-facing reply (or `null`) and forwarded it on the terminal `done`
event.
- Added host, wake-renderer, normal-heartbeat, and terminal-reply
regression coverage.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-agent-session-message.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-run-status-payload.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/plugin-agent-sessions.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-run-summary.test.ts` — 87 passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed across all 31 workspaces.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- `pnpm test:run` — 2,860 passed, 1 skipped, 3 unrelated failures: two
existing macOS temp-path alias assertions (`/tmp` vs `/private/tmp`) in
workspace branch-containment tests and one reproducible auto-port
runtime-service adoption failure. The same three failures reproduce when
the two files run alone; none touch this change.
- Live Slack verification intentionally remains operator-gated because
it requires rebuilding/restarting the host.
## Risks
- User-controlled chat text now reaches the model prompt, which is an
intentional prompt-injection surface. The renderer labels it as
untrusted conversational content, while the existing plugin/session
company checks and caller authorization remain unchanged.
- `finalText` is added to company-scoped heartbeat status events. It is
derived from the same persisted summary/result/message already used for
run comments; no raw stdout or secrets are added.
- Consumers that ignore the new field remain compatible, and successful
runs without usable final text still emit `message: null`.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip manages agent work and needs auditable control over secret
resolution
> - The skip-user-secret skills routes still have to attribute access to
the real actor
> - These routes were calling the adapter config resolver without an
access context
> - That dropped actor attribution from the company `secret_ref` audit
trail

into both skills routes
> - The benefit is that audit fidelity is restored without changing
`skipUserSecrets` behavior
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #10115.
This PR fixes a gap in the skills read/sync routes where
`resolveAdapterConfigForRuntime` was being called without an audit
access context, so company secret resolution could not reliably
attribute the request to the acting user or agent. The change keeps
`skipUserSecrets: true` intact and only restores audit fidelity.
## What Changed
- Threaded `buildActorSecretContext(req, { consumerType: "agent",
consumerId })` into `GET /agents/:id/skills`
- Threaded the same actor context into `POST /agents/:id/skills/sync`
- Updated the route tests to assert a non-`undefined` actor context
reaches the resolver while `skipUserSecrets: true` stays unchanged
## Verification
- `tsc --noEmit`
- `agents` and `secrets` Vitest suites: 33 files / 448 tests green
- Route spy assertions confirm both skills routes now pass an
actor-derived context to the resolver
## Risks
- Low risk: the change is limited to audit context propagation on two
skills routes
- If a downstream resolver assumes the third argument can be
`undefined`, this makes the context explicit on these routes
- The user-secret authorization behavior does not change because
`skipUserSecrets` remains true

built-in agent without hitting an unsatisfiable approval wall
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
<!-- No public GitHub issue exists; describing the underlying bug in-PR
following the bug_report template. -->
**What happened?**
With "require board approval for new agents" enabled, completing the
adapter setup of an auto-provisioned but unconfigured built-in agent
(status `needs_setup`, e.g. the Reflection Coach) failed with a 409 —
*"Built-in agent adapter changes require board approval before they can
be applied."* — even for the board user. Because the operator *is* the
board, no additional approver existed, so setup was permanently blocked.
Root cause: in `builtInAgentService.provision()`, any request carrying
`adapterType`/`adapterConfig` against an existing row was treated as a
reconfiguration and gated, regardless of whether that row had ever
completed its initial adapter setup. An auto-provisioned hire resolves
to an idle row with an empty `adapterConfig` (`needs_setup`), so its
very first configuration was misclassified.
**Expected behavior**
The board can complete first-time setup of an already-sanctioned
built-in agent without a fresh approval, matching the behavior when
board approval is not required. Genuine reconfiguration of an
already-configured (`ready`/`paused`) agent should still require
approval.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. In a company with `requireBoardApprovalForNewAgents` enabled, have a
built-in agent auto-provisioned so its row exists but its adapter is
unconfigured (status `needs_setup`).
2. As the board user, open that agent's setup dialog and submit an
adapter type + config.
3. Observe the 409 "Built-in agent adapter changes require board
approval before they can be applied." with no way for the board to grant
the approval.
**Deployment mode**
Local single-instance / self-hosted (server `built-in-agents` service).
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/built-in-agents.ts`: In `provision()`, when the
existing built-in row has **not** yet completed adapter setup
(`!hasCompleteAdapterConfig(...)`, i.e. `needs_setup`), first-time
adapter configuration now applies directly via `ensure()` — the same
path used when board approval is not required. The hire that created the
row was already sanctioned, so no fresh approval is required.
- Reconfiguration of an already-configured (`ready`/`paused`) built-in
agent stays gated behind board approval exactly as before, and
`pending_approval` rows are handled before the new branch.
- `server/src/__tests__/built-in-agents.test.ts`: Added a regression
test — under `requireApproval: true`, completing first-time setup of a
`needs_setup` built-in returns `approval: null`, transitions the agent
to `ready`, and creates **no** approval row.
## Verification
```bash
cd server
npx vitest run src/__tests__/built-in-agents.test.ts
# Test Files 1 passed (1)
# Tests 31 passed (31)
```
- New test `completes first-time setup of a needs_setup built-in without
a fresh board approval` passes.
- Full `built-in-agents.test.ts` suite (31 tests) passes, including
existing tests that assert genuine reconfiguration of a configured agent
**remains** gated.
## Risks
Low risk. The change narrows an over-broad approval gate: it only opens
the direct-apply path for rows that have never completed adapter setup
(`needs_setup`), determined by the existing `hasCompleteAdapterConfig`
predicate that already drives `deriveBuiltInAgentStatus`.
Already-configured (`ready`/`paused`) agents, and `pending_approval`
rows, are unaffected and still gated. No schema or migration changes.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents and humans coordinate on issues through interaction requests
(confirmations, decisions, task suggestions and more) that are stored
per issue and listed by both the web UI and plugin workers such as chat
gateways
> - `listForIssue` hydrates every stored interaction row by hard-parsing
its persisted `result` blob against the current Zod schema
> - Stored rows outlive code: one live row written by an older build
carried `result.outcome: "withdrawn_by_creator"`, a value no longer in
the enum, and that single row made hydration throw
> - Because the throw happened inside the list mapping, it failed the
entire issue's interaction list — the web thread errored, and every
plugin consumer of `issues.listInteractions` (notification drain, digest
confirmation sweep, pending-ledger reads) failed continuously, so
interaction cards never reached chat surfaces
> - This pull request parses stored `result` blobs tolerantly — a
`parseStoredInteractionResult` helper wrapping `safeParse`, applied to
all five interaction kinds — so an unparseable result degrades to `null`
with a warning instead of failing the whole list
> - The benefit is durable robustness at the storage→hydrate boundary:
legacy or future schema drift in a single row can no longer take down an
issue's entire interaction surface
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No pre-existing public issue; the underlying problem is described here
following the bug-report template. Related (not a duplicate): Refs #6709
— the creator-withdraw flow it explores matches the legacy outcome value
observed in the wild; whether or not that lineage wrote the row, this PR
is defensive against any such stored-schema drift.
**What happened**
Listing interactions for an issue (`GET /api/issues/:id/interactions` on
the web, or the `issues.listInteractions` plugin RPC) fails for the
entire issue when any single stored interaction row carries a
`result.outcome` written by an older build (observed live:
`"withdrawn_by_creator"`). Downstream plugin consumers that poll this
RPC fail continuously — notification drain, digest confirmation sweep,
and pending-ledger reads.
**Expected behavior**
One legacy/unreadable stored `result` should degrade gracefully — the
interaction still lists with its result treated as absent — rather than
failing the whole issue's interaction list.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Persist a resolved `request_confirmation` interaction whose
`result.outcome` is not in the current enum (e.g.
`"withdrawn_by_creator"`, as written by an older build).
2. Call `issues.listInteractions` (or `GET
/api/issues/:id/interactions`) for that issue.
3. The call throws `invalid_enum_value` and returns nothing, instead of
returning the remaining rows.
**Version or commit**
master @ 3093c5e69 (also reproduces on a live deployment carrying
pre-enum-change rows).
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted host with plugin workers (chat gateway).
## What Changed
- Added `parseStoredInteractionResult`, a small generic helper in
`server/src/services/issue-thread-interactions.ts` that wraps Zod
`safeParse` for stored `result` blobs: on parse failure it logs a
warning and returns `null` instead of throwing.
- Replaced all five hard `.parse()` calls in `hydrateInteraction` (one
per interaction kind) with the tolerant helper, so a single unreadable
row degrades to `result: null` rather than failing the entire
`listForIssue` mapping.
- Left payload parsing strict on purpose — payloads are written at
creation time by current code; only `result` has demonstrated legacy
drift, and keeping payloads strict preserves detection of genuine
write-path bugs.
- Added a regression test in
`server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interactions-service.test.ts` that
seeds a resolved `request_confirmation` with `result.outcome:
"withdrawn_by_creator"` and asserts `listForIssue` returns the row with
`result: null` instead of throwing.
## Verification
- `tsc --noEmit` (server) — clean.
- `issue-thread-interactions-service.test.ts` — 39/39 pass, including
the new regression test reproducing the exact live failure value.
- Full CI on this PR is green: typecheck, serialized server suites,
general tests, e2e shards, build, canary dry run.
## Risks
- Low: server-only change at the read/hydrate boundary; no schema or
write-path changes, no SDK dist rebuild.
- Behavioral shift: a resolved interaction with an unreadable stored
`result` now lists with `result: null`. Consumers already handle
`result: null` (it is the shape of every unresolved interaction);
anything assuming "resolved ⇒ non-null result" sees the legacy row
differently than before — though previously the same row produced a hard
failure of the whole list, so this is strictly an improvement.
- The degrade path logs a warning, so stored-schema drift stays visible
rather than silent.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Its built-in Summarizer keeps status slots useful for people
overseeing issue trees
> - Those summaries need to tell the reader what they must do now to
unblock progress
> - The existing skill instead imposed rigid Decide:/Review:/Recent
work: sections, cost commentary, and restrictive issue-fetch guidance
> - This pull request rewrites the summarize-status instructions to lead
with 1–3 specific, concrete unblock actions while letting the model use
its judgment for the remaining context
> - The benefit is a shorter, clearer summary that is immediately
actionable without changing slot writes or the streaming status protocol
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #9713
The built-in summarizer currently prioritizes a fixed reporting template
over the reader's immediate unblock actions. Summaries should instead
open with the 1–3 specific actions the reader needs to take right now,
then provide only the context needed to act. This prompt-only update
preserves all summary-slot mechanics and protocols.
## What Changed
- Rewrote the bundled `summarize-status` skill to open with 1–3
specific, concrete, actionable items needed right now to unblock the
work.
- Removed the rigid Decide:/Review:/Recent work: template, the Cost
discipline section, and the restrictions against fetching issue detail.
- Kept slot-write mechanics and the streaming `STATUS`/sentinel protocol
unchanged.
- Updated all materialized copies and tests for the same skill text: the
`SKILL.md` source, regenerated catalog manifest hashes, compiled
fallback string, summarizer built-in `AGENTS.md` and routine, summary
generation-issue instructions, and the two tests pinning those strings.
- Although the diff touches eight files, every file is either the same
skill text in another materialized form or a test asserting it. No
behavior outside the summarizer's prompt text changes.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/skills-catalog test` — 20/20 tests pass.
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/summary-slots.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/built-in-agents.test.ts` — 46/46 tests pass.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — clean.
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/summary-slots.test.ts` —
16/16 tests pass after the Greptile consistency fix.
- Latest-head GitHub checks — 25 terminal checks, all successful,
neutral, or skipped.
## Risks
- Low risk: this intentionally changes generated summary wording and
prioritization, but does not change APIs, persistence, slot-write
behavior, or the streaming protocol.
- The branch name contains an internal task identifier because it was
pre-created and pre-pushed for this assigned change; the PR title and
body do not expose the internal ticket.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to coordinate
AI-agent companies.
> - Issue status transitions determine whether work keeps moving or
silently stalls.
> - A blocked issue previously could rely on prose alone, leaving the
intended unblock owner unstructured and unnotified.
> - Existing blocker-attention classification could identify stalled
chains, but the signal was not delivered to the board attention feed.
> - Blocked transitions also need rollout-safe deduplication so upgrades
do not notify for historical issues and repeated processing does not
create notification storms.
> - This pull request adds structured unblock descriptors, prospective
transition timestamps, owner delivery, and board attention routing with
focused authorization controls.
> - The benefit is that newly blocked work has an explicit, routable
next action without weakening company boundaries or allowing agents to
inject arbitrary human attention items.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related documentation PR: #10094.
### Subsystem affected
Cross-cutting: `server/`, `packages/db`, and `packages/shared`.
### Problem or motivation
An issue can enter `blocked` without a machine-readable unblock path.
Prose-only ownership does not reliably wake the responsible agent or
surface human-owned work, while the existing `blockerAttention`
classifier is not delivered to an operator-facing attention feed.
### Proposed solution
Require new transitions into `blocked` to have unresolved blockers, a
pending interaction/approval, or a structured `{ owner, action }`
descriptor. Notify an allowed owner once per prospective transition,
route human-owned cases to board attention, and leave pre-rollout
blocked issues untouched.
### Alternatives considered
- Keep prose-only blockers: rejected because ownership remains
unroutable.
- Backfill all historical blocked issues: rejected because upgrades
would create notification storms.
- Let agents target arbitrary users or the board: rejected after
security review because it creates an attention-injection channel.
### Roadmap alignment
Aligns with `ROADMAP.md` → “Enforced Outcomes (watchdogs, recovery
actions, review gates)” by making blocked work carry an explicit
continuation path.
### Additional context
The implementation is prospective-only and deduplicated per blocked
transition. Agent-authored descriptors are limited to the acting agent;
board actors retain human-owner routing.
## What Changed
- Added persisted unblock descriptors and prospective blocked-transition
delivery timestamps with an idempotent migration.
- Added shared types and validation for board, user, and agent unblock
owners.
- Enforced valid blocked transitions and same-company owner validation
in the issue update route.
- Restricted agent-authored descriptors to the acting agent itself,
preventing board/user attention injection by compromised agents.
- Added one-per-transition agent wake delivery and prospective-only
rollout gating.
- Routed human-owned blocker attention into the board attention feed.
- Added focused tests for validation, prospective delivery, flap
deduplication, attention routing, route authorization, and stop-relay
compatibility.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/routable-blocked.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/attention-service.test.ts
packages/shared/src/validators/issue.test.ts`
- `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID= AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY= pnpm test:run`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`
## Risks
- Behavioral shift: new `blocked` transitions without a real blocker,
pending governed action, or structured descriptor now return `422`.
- Notification abuse is constrained by same-company validation, agent
self-only routing, prospective rollout gating, and transition-scoped
deduplication.
- Migration risk is low: columns are additive, nullable, and use `IF NOT
EXISTS`; historical blocked issues are not backfilled or notified.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for autonomous AI companies
> - Its agents and adapters need to resolve secrets through the same
governed runtime path that checks ownership and company boundaries
> - This change fixes a gap where user-scoped secret resolution could
lose the acting-user context before adapter runtime startup
> - Without that context, a required user secret could fail closed with
responsible_user_missing even though an authenticated user was in scope
> - This PR threads the acting user into the user-scoped secret
resolution path and keeps the owner boundary explicit
> - The benefit is adapter runtime setup can resolve the right
credential without broadening access
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #8309 (related: agent secret_ref env drift and binding context)
No exact public GitHub issue for this specific behavior.
### Bug report
- Problem: two agent-management routes resolved user-scoped secrets
without an acting-user binding, so a required `user_secret_ref` could
not be resolved before runtime.
- Expected behavior: the authenticated acting user should be threaded
into user-scoped secret resolution so the owning user secret can be
selected safely.
- Actual behavior: adapter startup paths failed closed with
`responsible_user_missing` even though a user was already in scope.
- Steps to reproduce: configure an adapter test-environment or login
flow that depends on a user-scoped secret, then invoke it with an
authenticated user context that does not carry the acting-user binding
into runtime secret resolution.
- Impact: the adapter test-environment probe and login path cannot
start, so the runtime never reaches the work it was supposed to do.
## What Changed
- Added an actor secret-context helper so the server can derive
responsible-user context without inventing config-path or binding
allowlists.
- Added an explicit user-secret mediation mode for runtime config
resolution, with an owner-scoped path that resolves by definition plus
owner boundary and fails closed when an allowlist is present.
- Wired the adapter test-environment route to owner-scoped mediation
with an audit-only consumer and kept claude-login on the declared path
with its persisted agent identity.
- Added and updated tests for the factory, owner-scoped resolver mode,
and adapter route coverage.
## Verification
- `tsc --noEmit` clean
- Factory tests: `authz-secret-context` 5/5
- Service tests: `secrets-service-user-secret-owner-scoped` 5/5,
including fail-closed allowlist coverage and company-secret
non-regression
- Route tests: `agents-adapter-config-user-secret` 5/5, including
`responsible_user_missing` and `binding_missing` coverage
- Regression suites: `agents` + `secrets` 194/194
## Risks
- A regression in the owner-scoped mediation path could accidentally
loosen secret access if the audit consumer or allowlist guard changes.
- The change depends on the server-derived responsible user; if auth
context regresses, the system should fail closed with
responsible_user_missing.
- The new mediation mode adds a branch in runtime config resolution, so
future changes need to keep declared-mode behavior intact.

- [x] I searched the GitHub PR list for similar PRs (dedup search). No
open PR touches the proactive `events.subscribe` ordering path; #10103
(merged) is the predecessor whose ordering bug this fixes.
## Thinking Path
The gateway worker's outbound push path is permanently dead
(`eventSubscriptions: 0`, `notifier.received: 0`, `decisions.delivered:
0`). The plugin loader authorizes the worker's **proactive company
scopes only AFTER `startWorker` resolves**, but a proactive plugin
issues its one-shot `events.subscribe` calls from `setup()` — which runs
*while `startWorker` is still awaiting the worker's initialize
response*.
So at subscribe time `proactiveCompanyScopes` is still empty →
`contextForWorkerMessage` resolves no scope → the governed-access gate
rejects every subscribe with `company context is required`. The gateway
subscribes once and never retries, so `eventSubscriptions` stays 0 for
the worker's life. This is an **ordering bug in the #10103 fix**, not a
new method — same #9557 governed-access class as `config.get` (#10092)
and `state.get` (#10103).
Confirmed live at the 18:21:21Z worker respawn on `3093c5e` (host log),
and again at the 19:01:04Z restart (still `events.subscribe: company
context is required`, `eventSubscriptions:0`).
## What Changed
1. **Loader ordering** (`plugin-loader.ts`): load
`registry.listConfigs(pluginId)` in a new step 4b **before**
`startWorker`, and thread the configured company set into
`WorkerStartOptions.proactiveCompanyScopes` so the worker handle is
authorized *before the child process issues any host call*. The same
rows are reused for startup config delivery (step 5b) — no second
`listConfigs` round-trip. The runtime config-change path
(`routes/plugins.ts`) still refreshes scopes via
`setProactiveCompanyScopes` (unchanged).
2. **Handle seed** (`plugin-worker-manager.ts`):
`createPluginWorkerHandle` seeds its `proactiveCompanyScopes` set from
options at creation, before spawn.
3. **Resolver/gate parity** (`plugin-worker-manager.ts`):
`referencedCompanyId(method, params)` now mirrors the SDK gate
`requestedCompanyScope` exactly in the functional direction — adds
`events.subscribe → params.filter.companyId` (how `ctx.events.on(name, {
companyId }, fn)` issues its subscribe), and declines the gate's
wildcard cases (`companies.list`, `scopeKind:"company"` without
`scopeId`) so proactive access only ever grants a **single explicit
configured company, never "all"**. Answers LOOA-693 AC#4 (host/gate
extraction parity) in the functional direction.
## Tests
New `plugin-worker-manager.test.ts` cases (drive a real worker):
- a `setup()`-time `events.subscribe({ filter: { companyId } })` for an
options-seeded company is **admitted** (fails on prior code — no options
seed, no filter parity);
- an unconfigured company stays **denied**;
- an unseeded worker stays **denied**.
Full `plugin-worker-manager.test.ts` suite: **21 passed**. Server `tsc
--noEmit`: clean. All PR CI green (typecheck, server/workspace suites,
e2e, build, security scans).
## Risks
- **Scope-widening risk (primary).** The change grants proactive host
access keyed off configured company rows. Mitigated by: the authorized
set is exactly `registry.listConfigs(pluginId).map(companyId)`; wildcard
cases (`companies.list`, company-scoped key without `scopeId`) resolve
to `null`, never `{ kind: all }`; empty/whitespace ids dropped; an empty
config set grants zero proactive access. This is the surface
SecurityEngineer must sign off (see Security gate).
- **In-invocation path unchanged.** Calls carrying a host-issued
`paperclipInvocationId` keep the existing strict single-company match;
the proactive branch only applies when there is no invocation id — so no
regression to the enforced request path.
- **Blast radius.** Loader step 4b is best-effort: a `listConfigs`
failure logs and proceeds with an empty seed (fails closed — no push,
not a crash), matching today's behavior.
## Model Used
Claude Opus 4.8 (`claude-opus-4-8`) via Claude Code (agent: CTO).
## Security gate
Touches the company-scope resolution path (same surface as #10103).
Routed through **SecurityEngineer review before merge** (tracked on
LOOA-696) — must not widen beyond configured companies; in-invocation
strict single-company match untouched; wildcard cases deliberately
declined in the proactive direction.
## Verification once live
- Host log clean of `events.subscribe: company context is required` at
worker start
- loader logs `eventSubscriptions: N>0`
- beat `notifier.received` / `decisions.delivered` move on real
issue/approval activity
Parent: LOOA-629 (outbound push half of "gateway active"). LOOA-695.

Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Host authorizes the plugin's configured companies as the worker's proactive scopes, set by the loader right after the #10092 config-delivery step and refreshed on operator config-save. At the single worker→host chokepoint, a no-invocation call (notifier drain, decision reconcile, mirror drain, digest, aging, liveness beat) that references a configured company resolves to that company's scope, so the #9557 governed-access gate admits it. One change covers the full proactive surface (state.*, issues.*, approvals.*, config.get, secrets.resolve, etc.).
Safety: never widens beyond configured companies (any other company stays denied); in-invocation calls keep #9557's strict single-company match untouched.
Fixes the Slack gateway DM round-trip for LOOA-629. Security review PASS (LOOA-693); non-blocking LOW follow-up tracked in LOOA-694.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane used to coordinate and govern
AI-agent companies.
> - Agent issue access must preserve company boundaries and trust-policy
containment without preventing legitimate task coordination.
> - Checked-out standard-trust child runs need a narrow way to report
progress directly to their parent issue, but existing authorization
treated that report like an arbitrary cross-boundary write.
> - Low-trust review runs must remain contained, and stop propagation
must not copy potentially untrusted child prose into a higher-trust
parent context.
> - This pull request adds an audited, one-hop direct-parent comment
grant only for standard checked-out runs and a sanitized, idempotent
relay for blocked or cancelled child stops.
> - The benefit is restored parent/child liveness while retaining least
privilege, complete mediation, and low-trust output quarantine.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### What happened?
A standard-trust agent running a checked-out child issue could not post
a progress comment to the direct parent issue because the authorization
boundary treated it as an arbitrary cross-issue write. This could stall
parent/child coordination. Low-trust review runs also need stop
propagation without exposing quarantined child-authored prose.
### Expected behavior
A standard checked-out child run may add a comment only to its direct
parent issue. The grant must not allow grandparent or sibling access,
issue mutation, document writes, reopening, or resuming. Low-trust runs
remain denied unless separately mentioned, while blocked/cancelled stops
relay only sanitized system metadata once.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Create a parent issue and a child issue assigned to different
standard-trust agents.
2. Check out the child issue in a heartbeat run and authenticate as that
run.
3. Post a comment to the parent issue and observe the authorization
denial before this change.
4. Mark a low-trust child blocked or cancelled and observe that no
bounded sanitized parent notification preserves liveness before this
change.
### Paperclip version or commit
Reproduces on `master` before this PR, including base commit
`d36ea13e08`.
### Deployment mode
Local dev (`pnpm dev`).
### Installation method
Built from source (`pnpm dev` / `pnpm build`).
### Agent adapter(s) involved
Not adapter-specific (core authorization and issue-routing behavior).
### Database mode
External Postgres in the focused route regression suite; behavior is
database-mode independent.
### Access context
Agent (bearer API key associated with a checked-out heartbeat run).
### Additional context
The implementation deliberately distinguishes a direct-parent report
decision from general issue mutation permission and records successful
grants in the activity log.
### Privacy checklist
- [x] I have reviewed all pasted output for PII, API keys, tokens,
company names, and private instance references.
## What Changed
- Adds a distinct authorization decision for standard checked-out runs
commenting on their direct parent issue.
- Keeps low-trust direct-parent reports denied unless an existing
explicit mention grant applies.
- Forces direct-parent grants to remain comment-only even when a closed
parent is unassigned or assigned to the reporting agent.
- Audits successful direct-parent report grants in issue activity
details.
- Adds sanitized, parent-scoped, idempotent system comments and parent
wakeups for blocked or cancelled child stops.
- Extends the low-trust red-team route suite for allowed parent reports,
forbidden upward/sibling writes, closed-parent mutation suppression, and
non-laundering stop relays.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/low-trust-red-team-routes.test.ts` — 11 tests
passed after the review fix.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed after the
review fix.
- Confirmed the PR changes four files and excludes `pnpm-lock.yaml`,
workflow changes, migrations, and unrelated branch commits.
## Risks
- This is an authorization behavior change. An overly broad grant could
enable cross-boundary writes, while an overly narrow grant could
preserve the liveness failure.
- The implementation constrains the grant to a standard-trust
checked-out run, a direct parent target, and comments only; activity
auditing and red-team coverage make regressions observable.
- Stop relays intentionally contain only system-generated child
identity/status metadata and are deduplicated; child-authored prose is
not copied.
- SecurityEngineer approval is mandatory before merge.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - When an agent finishes work in an execution workspace, the board can
confirm the result through an issue-thread interaction (e.g. the
"Merged" / mark-done confirmation button on a `request_confirmation`).
> - That accept action is gated: it must not race a worktree sync-back
(`workspace_finalize`) that is still copying the agent's commits out of
the sandbox, or the board could act on a base that hasn't received them
yet.
> - The gate (`runWorkspaceIsFinalized`) treated the sync-back as
"settled" only when the latest `workspace_finalize` op was `succeeded` —
so a run whose finalize reached a terminal `failed` state, or died
leaving a stale `running` op, was treated as "still syncing" forever.
> - Users hit a permanent, misleading `... has not finished syncing its
workspace` error and could never click "Merged", even though nothing was
syncing and the run had long since ended.
> - This PR fixes the settle semantics so the gate blocks only while a
sync-back is genuinely pending or in flight, and treats any terminal (or
stale-orphaned) finalize as done.
> - The benefit is that a failed or abandoned sync-back no longer wedges
the human confirmation, while a genuinely in-flight sync-back on a live
run still blocks correctly.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this. Describing the bug in-PR (bug
report):
**What happened**
Clicking the "Merged" / mark-done confirmation at the bottom of an issue
thread returns an error that the workspace "has not finished syncing its
workspace" — but nothing is actually syncing, and the run that created
the interaction has already ended. The confirmation is permanently
stuck; the only workaround is to merge and mark the task done manually.
**Expected behavior**
Once the source run's worktree sync-back has finished — whether it
succeeded, failed, or was skipped — the confirmation should be
acceptable. The gate should block only while a sync-back is genuinely
still running on a live run.
**Steps to reproduce**
Have an agent run reach `workspace_finalize` and end without a
`succeeded` finalize (e.g. the sync-back fails, or the run process dies
mid-finalize leaving a `running` op). Then attempt to accept the
`request_confirmation` interaction it created → 409 "... has not
finished syncing its workspace" with no way to proceed.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced on the current `master` line (server service); root cause is
in `runWorkspaceIsFinalized` in `server/src/services/issues.ts`.
**Deployment mode**
Local / self-hosted instance (server service).
**Root cause**
`runWorkspaceIsFinalized` returned `true` only when the latest
`workspace_finalize` operation was `succeeded`. A terminal `failed`
finalize (the sync-back ran and failed; it will not retry within that
run) and a `running` finalize left behind by a dead run both left the
gate closed forever.
## What Changed
- `runWorkspaceIsFinalized` (server/src/services/issues.ts) now treats a
sync-back as **settled** when the latest `workspace_finalize` op reached
any terminal status (`succeeded`, `failed`, or `skipped`), instead of
only `succeeded`.
- A `workspace_finalize` still marked `running` blocks only while its
owning run is alive; a `running` record left behind by a
terminal/missing run is treated as stale (settled), so a dead run can no
longer wedge the gate.
- Preserved existing behavior for the other cases: no operations
recorded at all → settled; earlier phases recorded but no
`workspace_finalize` yet → still blocks (the sync-back hasn't been
attempted).
- Extracted the run-liveness check into a shared exported helper
`heartbeatRunIsTerminalOrMissing` and reused it from the existing
`isTerminalOrMissingHeartbeatRun` closure (no behavior change there).
- Added a short comment at the confirmation-accept gate
(server/src/services/issue-thread-interactions.ts) documenting the
relaxed settle semantics.
- The dependency-readiness / blocker barrier
(`listPendingFinalizeBlockerIssueIds`) is deliberately left unchanged:
an automated dependent must not proceed onto a base that never received
a blocker's synced-back commits, so a failed finalize keeps that gate
closed. Only the human-driven confirmation accept is relaxed.
- Added regression tests for: failed finalize, stale `running` finalize
on a dead run, and a genuinely `running` finalize on a live run (must
still block).
## Verification
- `cd server && node_modules/.bin/vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-thread-interactions-service.test.ts -t "accept"` →
17 passed (includes the 3 new regression tests), 21 unrelated tests
skipped by the name filter.
- Manual reasoning walkthrough of `runWorkspaceIsFinalized` for each
op-history shape (no ops / earlier-phase-only / terminal finalize /
running-on-dead-run / running-on-live-run) confirms the intended
block-vs-settle outcome.
## Risks
- Low risk and narrowly scoped to the human confirmation-accept gate.
The only behavioral change is that a terminal (`failed`/`skipped`) or
stale-orphaned `running` finalize now settles the gate instead of
blocking forever.
- A genuinely in-flight sync-back on a live run still blocks (covered by
a regression test), so the accept cannot race commits that are actively
being synced back.
- The blocker/dependency barrier for automated dependents is unchanged,
so no dependent will be advanced onto a base missing a failed blocker's
commits.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - First-party **plugins** run as isolated workers spawned by the host
`plugin-loader`, reading company-scoped config through a governed
`ctx.config.get(companyId)` channel.
> - The host→worker `configChanged` RPC carries `{ config, companyId }`,
but the SDK dispatch dropped the scope — `onConfigChanged(newConfig)`
was companyId-blind by design — so a **proactive** worker kept a single
worker-global config.
> - #10092 added a startup replay that fans out **every** stored
company's config through `configChanged`. With no deterministic
ordering, a plugin configured for more than one distinct company ends up
running as whichever DB row was delivered last.
> - That is a latent cross-tenant identity/secret confusion bug: one
company's bot token could be applied to another company's traffic.
> - This pull request threads `companyId` through `onConfigChanged` and
adds a fail-closed cross-tenant guard at the SDK layer, so a
single-tenant worker can never silently collapse to a second company's
config.
> - The benefit is that the config-delivery class is fixed at the SDK
boundary — before any genuinely multi-company proactive plugin ships —
without changing today's single-tenant behavior.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue — describing in-PR (hardening / latent security):
**Latent cross-tenant config collapse.** The worker-side `configChanged`
dispatch forwarded only `config` and dropped `companyId`, so a proactive
plugin kept a single worker-global config. #10092's startup replay
delivers every configured company's config sequentially with no `ORDER
BY`, so a plugin with configs for more than one distinct company would
apply a nondeterministic last-write-wins global config (one tenant's
credential applied to another's traffic).
- Builds on and must merge after #10092.
- Not exploitable today: the only proactive consumer (the chat gateway)
has single-tenant config rows, so last-write-wins is a no-op. This is a
hardening pre-condition before any multi-company proactive plugin ships.
## What Changed
- **Thread scope through:** `onConfigChanged(newConfig, context)` with a
new exported `PluginConfigChangeContext { companyId }`. Backward
compatible — the second arg is optional; existing single-arg
implementations are unaffected.
- **Fail-closed cross-tenant guard** (`worker-rpc-host.ts`): a
single-tenant plugin that receives `configChanged` for a second,
distinct company with a *different* config is rejected with the new
`PLUGIN_RPC_ERROR_CODES.CROSS_TENANT_CONFIG` instead of silently
overwriting the applied tenant's config. Idempotent replays of the
*same* config under a different scope row remain allowed.
- **Opt-in `multiCompanyConfig: true`** on the plugin definition for
plugins that genuinely serve multiple companies from one worker (keying
per-company state on `context.companyId`); the guard is bypassed for
those.
- **Deterministic `ORDER BY companyId`** on `registry.listConfigs`, so
the startup replay binds a single-tenant worker to a stable company
across restarts.
- **Loader visibility:** a `CROSS_TENANT_CONFIG` rejection is logged at
`warn` (was best-effort `debug`) so the misconfiguration is surfaced.
- **Regression test**
(`packages/plugins/sdk/tests/worker-rpc-host.test.ts`): two distinct
companies delivered via the startup-replay path fail closed and stay
bound to the first company; an idempotent same-config replay under a
different scope row is allowed; a `multiCompanyConfig` plugin receives
per-company config with the correct `context.companyId`.
## Verification
- SDK `tsc --noEmit`: clean.
- SDK vitest `worker-rpc-host.test.ts`: 7/7 pass (incl. 3 new). The
two-distinct-company case **fails against pre-fix code** and passes
after the fix.
- #10092 embedded-postgres `plugin-config-startup-delivery.test.ts`: 3/3
pass (unaffected by the new `ORDER BY`).
- Full server `tsc --noEmit` against this SDK: clean.
## Risks
- **Low functional risk.** The second `onConfigChanged` arg is optional
and existing implementations are unchanged. Today's single-tenant
gateway keeps working — idempotent same-config replays are explicitly
allowed, so the go-live is preserved.
- **Behavioral shift on misconfig:** a genuinely multi-company plugin
that has NOT opted into `multiCompanyConfig` now fails closed
(`CROSS_TENANT_CONFIG`) rather than silently collapsing to one tenant.
This is the intended safer default; opt in with `multiCompanyConfig:
true` to serve multiple companies from one worker.
- **Not in scope (residual).** Per-company workers/connections for a
genuinely multi-company gateway increase resource use and are tracked
separately (ties into the #10092 fan-out/timeout follow-up). This PR
fixes the class and fails closed; it does not build multi-tenant
connection management.

> - A **proactive** plugin (e.g. a chat gateway that opens a Slack Socket Mode connection at startup) does its company work from `setup()`, where there is **no company-scoped invocation** — so `ctx.config.get()` is rejected with `company context is required`.
> - The worker swallows that error and falls back to its default (feature-off) config, so the plugin comes up **inert** even though correct config exists in the database.
> - This is a regression from #9557 ("governed access contracts"), which changed `plugin-loader.ts` `activatePlugin` from loading stored config into the worker bootstrap to `const config = {}`.
> - This pull request replays each configured company's stored config to the freshly-started worker over the **same `configChanged` host→worker path an operator config-save already uses**.
> - The benefit is that proactive plugins receive their config on worker start (both server boot and operator enable) without weakening the governed-access surface.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue — describing in-PR (bug):
**Bug.** After a proactive plugin's worker spawns, it never receives its stored config. Governed access (`packages/plugins/sdk/src/host-client-factory.ts`) only resolves `config.get` inside a company-scoped invocation (event/action/tool, or explicit `params.companyId`). Proactive plugins operate from `setup()` where no such scope exists, so `config.get()` fails with `company context is required`, the worker falls back to defaults, and the feature stays disabled despite valid DB config.
- Regression introduced by #9557.
- Related follow-up (latent multi-company hardening): #10096.
## What Changed
- `plugin-registry.ts`: add read-only `listConfigs(pluginId)` returning all stored company config rows for a plugin (scoped `where eq(pluginConfig.pluginId, pluginId)`).
- `plugin-loader.ts`: after the worker starts in `activatePlugin`, replay each company's stored config through the existing `configChanged` host→worker RPC — one `{ config, companyId }` per row, the same payload shape as the operator config-save path in `routes/plugins.ts`. Best-effort and idempotent; covers both server-boot `loadAll` and operator enable.
- test: DB-backed `plugin-config-startup-delivery.test.ts` covering `registry.listConfigs` completeness and cross-plugin isolation.
## Verification
- `tsc --noEmit` on `@paperclipai/server` — clean.
- New `plugin-config-startup-delivery.test.ts` (embedded-postgres, 3 cases) — pass.
- Full PR CI green: typecheck, all server/e2e/serialized test shards, build, canary dry-run, verify, and the security scanners (Snyk, Socket, Superagent, Greptile).
## Risks
- **Low functional risk.** Adds an outbound host→worker push that mirrors the already-shipped operator-save path. A worker without an `onConfigChanged` handler (or momentarily unavailable) simply keeps the runtime `ctx.config.get(companyId)` model.
- **Startup fan-out.** One `configChanged` per configured company at activation (sequential, default RPC timeout). `plugin_config` rows are writable only by instance-admins, so fan-out size is operator-controlled — not a remote surface.
- **No secret-handling change.** `configJson` is delivered as-is, exactly as `config.get`/operator-save already deliver it. No new secret sink; catch-blocks log only ids + `err.message` at debug, never `configJson`.
- **Latent multi-company behavior (pre-existing, not introduced here).** The worker-side `configChanged` dispatch forwards only `config` (drops `companyId`), and `listConfigs` has no `ORDER BY`, so a plugin configured for **more than one** company would apply a nondeterministic last-write-wins global config. This is existing SDK behavior — operator-save already pushes into the same handler — and is **not reachable by the single-company consumer this fix targets**. Greptile flagged this shape (4/5). It is tracked and fixed as a separate, non-blocking hardening PR (#10096): thread `companyId` through `onConfigChanged`, deterministic ordering, bounded fan-out.

Adds the remaining 5 plugin capabilities + 7 worker→host RPC methods (interactions read/respond, approvals read/respond, attachment read) needed by the Slack chat gateway plugin (v0.5.0) to pass manifest capability validation and load.
- Security review: PASS (LOOA-642) after the viewer-role privilege-escalation blocker (LOOA-648) was fixed on this branch (requireActiveHumanMember now rejects viewer on impersonation write-paths, matching assertCompanyAccess).
- CI: Build, Typecheck, all server suites (3/3 + serialized 4/4), workspaces, e2e shard 2/2, and all security scanners (Snyk/Socket/Superagent/Greptile/security-review) green.
- One e2e flake (signoff-policy 'non-participant cannot advance stage') is unrelated: it exercises execution-policy stage advancement (routes/issues.ts, untouched by this PR) and failed on a heartbeat_run_events FK race + 409 checkout conflict.
Unblocks LOOA-629 (Slack gateway go-live) and the interview-ask feature.

**Builds on** #10058 — managed detection keys off the *presence* of the
`PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG` env var that PR introduces, deliberately
never its parsed body.
**Summary.** Two layered hardenings of the plugin install route. (1) For
**all** instances: `localPath` installs previously skipped the
package-name validation entirely; the path is now null-byte-checked,
resolved absolute, `realpath`'d (collapsing `..` traversal and
symlinks), and required to be an existing directory before the loader
ever sees it. (2) For instances running under a managed hosting control
plane (detected by the *presence* of `PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG` —
deliberately never its body, so a corrupted document cannot widen the
surface): registry/npm installs return 403, and `localPath` installs
must canonicalize to inside the bundled plugin catalog root
(`packages/plugins`) — a positive allowlist enforced in code at the
route, independent of any flag value. Self-hosted behavior is otherwise
unchanged.
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The plugin system lets instance admins install plugins from a
registry or from a local filesystem path, and plugin installation is
code execution on the host
> - The `localPath` branch of `POST /plugins/install` skips the
validation applied to registry installs; the raw path reaches the plugin
loader without canonicalization
> - Separately, instances operated by a managed hosting control plane
must constrain installs to the bundled plugin catalog, because there the
host belongs to the operator, not the tenant
> - This pull request canonicalizes and validates `localPath` for all
instances, and adds a bundled-only install floor for managed instances
> - The benefit is a smaller install-route attack surface everywhere,
and a positive code-enforced allowlist where the operator owns the
machine
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists; `bug_report` template fields for the validation
gap this PR fixes:
- **What happened:** `POST /plugins/install` with `localPath` set
bypasses the package-name validation entirely; the un-canonicalized path
(relative segments, symlinks, no existence check) is handed straight to
the plugin loader.
- **Expected behavior:** path installs are validated like registry
installs — null-byte-checked, resolved absolute, `realpath`'d, and
required to be an existing directory before the loader sees them.
- **Steps to reproduce:** as an instance admin, call `POST
/plugins/install` with a `localPath` containing `..` traversal or a
symlink pointing outside any plugin directory; observe the loader
receives the raw path. Exploitability is bounded (the route already
requires instance admin), so this is hardening of an admin-only surface
rather than an open exploit.
- **Version:** current `master`.
The managed-instance bundled-only floor layered on top is new behavior
(motivation: on managed hosting, arbitrary plugin install is arbitrary
code execution on operator infrastructure), aligned with the in-progress
"Cloud deployments" milestone in `ROADMAP.md`.
## What Changed
- New `server/src/services/plugin-install-guard.ts` — three pure
primitives: managed detection (presence-based), path canonicalization
(null-byte check → absolute resolve → `realpath` → must be an existing
directory), and segment-based containment in the bundled plugin catalog
root.
- Route enforcement in `server/src/routes/plugins.ts`: npm/registry
installs return 403 on managed instances; `localPath` installs are
canonicalized on every instance and, on managed instances, must land
inside the bundled catalog root.
- The plugin loader now receives the canonical path instead of the raw
request string.
## Verification
- 15 guard unit tests
(`server/src/__tests__/plugin-install-guard.test.ts`): traversal,
symlink escape, null byte, file-vs-directory, string-prefix sibling
root.
- 13 route security tests
(`server/src/__tests__/plugin-install-route-security.test.ts`): 403
matrix on managed instances + self-hosted happy paths.
- 36 existing plugin route authz tests green
(`server/src/__tests__/plugin-routes-authz.test.ts`).
- Server `tsc --noEmit` clean.
```bash
cd server
pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/plugin-install-guard.test.ts src/__tests__/plugin-install-route-security.test.ts src/__tests__/plugin-routes-authz.test.ts
pnpm exec tsc --noEmit
```
## Risks
- Managed instances: npm/registry installs and out-of-catalog
`localPath` installs now return 403 — intended new behavior, enforced in
code rather than configuration.
- All instances: `localPath` installs that previously pointed at
nonexistent paths or non-directories now fail with 400 before reaching
the loader (previously the loader failed later, less safely). Symlinked
deployment layouts are handled by canonicalizing both sides of the
containment check.
- Self-hosted npm install path is unchanged. Low residual risk.

**Builds on** #10058 — reads `plugins.autoInstall` from the parsed
managed-config contract #10058 introduces (the interim
`readManagedPluginAutoInstall` shim is retired at rebase).
**Summary.** Boot-time bundled-plugin provisioning becomes
catalog-driven. A new bundled-plugin catalog lists the sandbox providers
shipped in-tree (keys like `kubernetes`, `daytona` → plugin key + path
under the catalog root). Managed instances read `plugins.autoInstall`
from `PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG`; unknown keys or paths escaping the
catalog root (symlinks resolved) **throw before listen** — a managed
instance refuses to start rather than boot half-provisioned.
Installation keeps today's mechanism: an in-process, fail-safe
`loader.installPlugin({ localPath })` under a system actor — no HTTP
route, no user, no role widening. Self-hosted boot is unchanged
(kubernetes bundle only, existing env override honored, install failures
still log-and-continue).
**Semantics.** A plugin already present in any non-uninstalled state is
skipped, so an operator-disabled plugin is never silently re-enabled;
managed mode reinstalls soft-uninstalled bundles (the control plane owns
provisioning); removal from the autoInstall list never auto-uninstalls.
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandbox-provider plugins ship in-tree, but boot-time provisioning is
hard-coded to exactly one of them (Kubernetes) via a bespoke function
> - On managed hosting, tenant users have no install privileges, so any
bundled plugin that is not provisioned at boot is unusable
> - Widening install routes or granting roles to fix that would trade a
provisioning gap for a security regression
> - This pull request generalizes the existing boot installer into a
catalog-driven `ensureBundledPlugins`, fed by `plugins.autoInstall` from
`PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG`
> - The benefit is that managed tenants get working bundled plugins out
of the box, through the same in-process, role-free mechanism the
codebase already trusts, while self-hosted boot is unchanged
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists; `feature_request` template fields:
- **Problem or motivation:** on managed instances tenant users cannot
install plugins (by design they never hold instance admin), so even
plugins shipped with the product are unusable; boot provisioning
currently knows only the Kubernetes bundle.
- **Proposed solution:** a bundled-plugin catalog plus
`ensureBundledPlugins(keys)` driven by the managed config; same
in-process `loader.installPlugin({ localPath })` under a system actor;
unknown keys or catalog-escaping paths fail startup; already-present
plugins are skipped so operator-disabled plugins are never silently
re-enabled.
- **Alternatives considered:** granting tenant users install privileges
(widens secrets/adapters/settings access to solve a one-button problem);
a separate non-admin install route for bundled plugins (new authz
surface; provisioning removes the need for any install action at all).
- **Roadmap alignment:** supports the in-progress "Cloud deployments"
milestone and builds on the shipped sandbox-provider milestone in
`ROADMAP.md`.
Refs #10058.
## What Changed
- New `server/src/services/bundled-plugins.ts`: the bundled-plugin
catalog, the fail-to-start resolver (`resolveBundledPluginInstalls`,
positive allowlist + catalog-root containment with symlinks resolved),
and the fail-safe installer (`ensureBundledPlugins`).
- `server/src/app.ts`: replaces the hard-coded
`ensureBundledKubernetesPlugin` boot hook with resolver + installer
wiring, with test hooks (`managedPluginAutoInstall`,
`bundledPluginCatalogRoot` options).
- `server/src/index.ts`: passes `plugins.autoInstall` from the single
fail-closed `PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG` startup parse (#10058) into
`createApp`; absent env means self-hosted and changes nothing.
## Verification
- 24 new tests in `server/src/__tests__/bundled-plugins.test.ts`
(catalog resolution, containment incl. symlink and `..` escapes,
skip/reinstall matrix, self-hosted invariants, installer error paths) —
all green.
- 85 adjacent startup/plugin-route/auto-build/managed-config tests green
(`managed-config`, `instance-settings-managed-overlay`,

```
## Risks
- Managed instances with a malformed or unknown `plugins.autoInstall`
entry now **refuse to start** (fail closed, by design) instead of
booting half-provisioned; harness misconfiguration surfaces as a precise
startup error.
- Self-hosted behavior is unchanged (kubernetes bundle only,
`PAPERCLIP_KUBERNETES_PLUGIN_PATH` honored without containment, install
failures log-and-continue), so the default deployment path carries low
risk.
- No uninstall path exists in this module; removal from the autoInstall
list can leave a previously provisioned plugin installed (intentional v1
semantics, documented in code).

**Builds on.** #10055 — the `catalogVersion` this config document pins
is the feature-catalog artifact #10055 emits.
**Summary.** Instances operated by a managed hosting control plane can
now receive instance configuration through a single environment
variable, `PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG` (versioned JSON: `mode`,
`catalogVersion`, `features`, `plugins.autoInstall`). When the variable
is absent the instance is self-hosted and nothing changes. When present,
parsing is strict and **fail-closed**: blank value, malformed JSON,
unknown feature key, a feature key this build's feature catalog does not
mark tier `managed`, missing required section, or unsupported version
refuses startup with a precise error — a typo that silently does nothing
is how a security control quietly fails. Managed feature values are
overlaid **at read time** inside the instance settings service (never
persisted), so a DB restore or manual row edit cannot resurrect a
disabled capability; responses expose per-key `managedKeys` metadata
(`managed: true`, `managedBy`) so clients can render locked state.
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip runs both self-hosted and under managed hosting, where an
operator's control plane owns instance configuration
> - Today instance feature settings live only in the tenant database; a
hosting control plane has no way to enforce a configuration that
tenant-side writes or restores cannot undo
> - Managed configuration will carry security posture, so delivery must
be atomic and parsing must fail closed — a typo that silently does
nothing is how a security control quietly fails
> - This pull request adds strict parsing of one
`PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG` env var and overlays its feature values at
read time inside the settings service, never persisting them
> - The benefit is a minimal, auditable managed-hosting contract: absent
var ⇒ self-hosted instances are byte-for-byte unchanged; present ⇒
deterministic, locked configuration surfaced to clients via per-key
managed metadata
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #966 — this PR delivers that issue's "managed config injection"
hook, via a strict env-var contract rather than the config-file path it
sketches; the issue's other hooks (identity header, health, usage
webhook, lifecycle, external secrets, IAM auth) are out of scope, so the
PR refs rather than closes it.
*Mechanism differs from #966's proposal, so the `feature_request` fields
are also filled in:*
- **Problem or motivation:** managed hosting deployments need to
centrally enable/disable instance features; DB-stored settings can be
edited, restored, or migrated back to permissive values, and nothing
marks a value as operator-enforced.
- **Proposed solution:** one versioned JSON env var; fail-closed parse
at startup; read-time overlay in the settings service (precedence:
managed value over stored value over schema default); `managedKeys`
metadata in settings responses so clients can render locked state.
- **Alternatives considered:** per-feature env vars (non-atomic across a
half-updated env set, unbounded env surface); seeding the DB at boot
(persisted values can be edited or restored over, and cannot express
"forced"); lenient warn-and-drop parsing (fails open — unacceptable for
a security-bearing control).
- **Roadmap alignment:** supports the in-progress "Cloud deployments"
milestone in `ROADMAP.md`.
## What Changed
- New `server/src/services/managed-config.ts` (pure parser over the env
record)
- Startup parse ordered before the first `instanceSettingsService`
construction in `server/src/index.ts`
- Read-time merge + `managedKeys` in the settings service
- Shared validator updates
## Verification
- 29 parser/overlay tests (fail-closed matrix incl. blank/whitespace
env, missing sections, catalog-tier mismatch, empty-section happy path):
`pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/managed-config.test.ts
src/__tests__/instance-settings-managed-overlay.test.ts` (from
`server/`)
- 40 existing settings route/service tests green: `pnpm vitest run
src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts` (from `server/`)
- 15 shared validator tests: `pnpm vitest run
src/validators/instance.test.ts` (from `packages/shared/`)
- Server `tsc --noEmit` clean: `pnpm typecheck` (from `server/`)
## Risks
- Self-hosted instances (no `PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG` set) are
byte-for-byte unchanged — the parser only runs when the variable is
present.
- For managed instances, a malformed document now refuses startup by
design (fail-closed). This is an intentional behavioral guarantee, not a
regression: the control plane owns the variable and a precise startup
error is the contract.
- Overlay values are never persisted, so no migration or data-shape
risk.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - AI agents run in sandboxed execution environments (Kubernetes pods,
Daytona workspaces, etc.) and need to sync files between the host and
those environments — for workspace setup, asset delivery, and output
retrieval
> - The existing sync path for Kubernetes uses a base64-over-exec chunk
loop: each ~4 MB chunk requires its own `execInPod` round-trip, so large
syncs balloon into many exec calls with corresponding overhead
> - `execInPod` supports piped stdin/stdout, meaning the full transfer
can be done as a single exec that streams a raw `tar` archive over the
data channel — one round-trip regardless of file size, with nothing
base64-encoded and nothing buffered whole in memory on either side
> - PR-1 (#10013, merged) added the
`onEnvironmentSyncIn`/`onEnvironmentSyncOut` opt-in hook API to the
sandbox provider interface and documented the protocol; PR-2 (#10028,
merged) implemented these hooks for the Daytona provider
> - This pull request implements the same two lifecycle hooks in the
Kubernetes sandbox provider, so workspace/asset file sync streams
through one `execInPod` per operation instead of the chunk loop
> - The benefit is significantly fewer exec round-trips for large syncs
and flat memory use on both host and pod, with security properties
preserved: atomic replace, secret-mode enforcement, path confinement,
TOCTOU-safe snapshot, and member-confinement on host-assembled archives
from sandbox-authored tar output
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This is the third and final PR in a sequential series:
- Refs #10013 — PR-1: opt-in sync hook API + provider docs (merged)
- Refs #10028 — PR-2: native file-sync lifecycle hooks for Daytona
provider (merged)
**Feature:** Native single-exec file-sync lifecycle hooks for the
Kubernetes sandbox provider.
*Motivation:* The existing Kubernetes sync path encodes files as base64
and loops over `execInPod` one chunk at a time (~4 MB per exec). For
large workspaces or asset sets this is slow and resource-intensive. The
Kubernetes `execInPod` API supports piped stdin/stdout, enabling a
raw-`tar` streaming transfer that needs only one exec regardless of file
count or size and never buffers the whole payload in memory.
*Proposed solution:* Implement `onEnvironmentSyncIn` and
`onEnvironmentSyncOut` in the Kubernetes provider using a streaming
`execInPod` with a tar pipeline — for syncIn the host builds the archive
on disk and streams its raw bytes into the pod's stdin (`head -c
<exact-size> | tar -x`, no base64); for syncOut in-pod `tar` writes to
the exec's stdout and the host streams those bytes straight to a file.
Path confinement, atomic replace, secret-mode enforcement, TOCTOU
protection, and a streamed-bytes fail-closed guard are all enforced.
## What Changed
- **New `src/file-sync.ts`** in
`packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/kubernetes/` — `performSyncIn` and
`performSyncOut` over an injected pod-exec closure, keeping transfer
logic hermetically unit-testable
- **New `execInPodStreaming` in `src/pod-exec.ts`** — a streaming exec
primitive that binds a caller-supplied stdin readable and a stdout
writable to the exec WebSocket data channel, added alongside the
existing `execInPod` (which is unchanged). This lets a transfer stream
raw bytes to/from disk instead of buffering the payload as a single
string
- **Updated `src/plugin.ts`** — registers
`onEnvironmentSyncIn`/`onEnvironmentSyncOut`; resolves the `sandbox-cr`
pod exactly like `onEnvironmentExecute` and delegates; `job` backend
rejects file-sync calls explicitly (out of scope)
- **syncIn path:** host builds the tarball to a temp file → streams its
raw bytes over exec stdin, bounded in-pod by `head -c
<exact-archive-size> | tar -x` (no base64 anywhere) → extract into a
`/proc/self/fd`-pinned reserved `0700` staging dir → `chmod`-before-`mv
-f` atomic replace per file (directory mappings use
`followSymlinks`→`-h`)
- **syncOut path:** in-pod validate + realpath-snapshot each source
(closes the validation→copy TOCTOU window) → single-exec `tar -c`
streamed over exec stdout → host streams that stdout straight to a temp
file through a byte-counting transform → member-confined extraction of
the sandbox-authored archive
- **Security properties:** secret files land at requested mode with no
widened window; every interpolated path is shell-quoted and confined
lexically plus via in-pod `realpath`; the outbound stream is bounded by
a **streamed-bytes disk guard** (`MAX_SYNC_OUTPUT_BYTES`, 8 GiB default,
per-call overridable) that fails the transfer closed — writing no target
file — if an untrusted pod emits more bytes than allowed. Neither host
nor pod buffers the whole payload, so there is no in-memory size cap on
the transfer
- **No changes** to `execInPod`, `wrapCommandWithEnv`, or
`FastUploadInterceptor` (the `environmentExecute` path is untouched)
- **No dependency or lockfile changes**
- **New tests** in `test/unit/file-sync.test.ts` (atomic-replace, `0600`
secret mode, symlink preserve/deref, dir-mapping, exclude,
path-confinement rejection, streamed-output guard fail-closed) and
`test/unit/pod-exec.test.ts` (streaming stdin/stdout, caller-sink error
fail-closed), plus extended `test/unit/plugin.test.ts`
## Follow-up: Legacy Job-Lease Base64 Fallback Fix
Addresses the Greptile 4/5 blocking finding ("Handle existing job
leases", `server/src/services/environment-runtime.ts`).
Job leases provisioned before the `nativeFileSyncUnsupported` metadata
flag existed carry `backend: "job"` but no flag, so `supportsSync()`
treated them as native-capable and routed their sync to the pod-exec
hook — which the job backend rejects (it has no exec channel) instead of
using the byte-identical base64 fallback. The fix adds a
belt-and-suspenders gate on the persisted `backend === "job"` field
alongside the existing `nativeFileSyncUnsupported` flag check, so
pre-existing job leases continue syncing via the base64 fallback after
deployment. No behaviour change for `sandbox-cr` leases.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/sandbox-provider-kubernetes test` — 19
files / 182 tests green, including the existing `upload-interceptor` and
`pod-exec` suites
- `tsc --noEmit` in the kubernetes package — 0 errors
- The sync hooks are opt-in; existing `environmentExecute` behaviour is
unaffected and tested by the unchanged existing suites
## Risks
- **Opt-in only:** `onEnvironmentSyncIn`/`onEnvironmentSyncOut` are
registered conditionally; providers that do not register them fall back
to the existing chunk loop. No regression risk on the existing path.
- **Shell-injection surface:** all path interpolation uses
shell-quoting; paths are additionally confined lexically and via in-pod
`realpath` before use.
- **TOCTOU on syncOut:** the in-pod snapshot validates and records file
metadata before the tar call, closing the window between validation and
copy.
- **Archive member confinement:** host-side reassembly rejects any tar
member whose resolved path escapes the target directory, preventing a
malicious in-pod tar from writing outside the intended destination.
- **Untrusted-output volume:** an over-large outbound stream trips the
streamed-bytes disk guard and fails closed (no target written and the
temp sink is swept) rather than filling host disk or memory; the guard
bounds disk unconditionally and bounds memory insofar as WebSocket
write-backpressure holds.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The `heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation.test.ts` suite intermittently
failed in CI with:
```
delete on table "heartbeat_runs" violates foreign key constraint
"heartbeat_run_events_run_id_heartbeat_runs_id_fk"
```
**Expected behavior**
`afterEach` cleanup should complete without FK violations.
**Steps to reproduce**
The race is timing-dependent but surfaces reliably when the teardown
window is artificially widened. `reconcileIssueGraphLiveness()` heals
resolved-dependency wakes by dispatching a heartbeat run fire-and-forget
(`void executeRun(...)`). The old `afterEach` polled
`heartbeat_runs.status` — but that flips to `completed` while
`executeRun`'s finally block still has pending `heartbeat_run_events`
row writes. The escaping insert can land between the events delete and
the runs delete.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproducible on current `master` (commit
`b57aa9950c707a024156c34b79326a82b2dcca31`)
## What Changed
- **`server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`** — tracks all in-flight
`executeRun` promises in a module-level `Set`; exposes
`heartbeatService(db).drainActiveRunExecutions()`, which loops until the
set drains (a completing run can enqueue the next queued run in its
finally, so a single `await` is not enough)
-
**`server/src/server-suites/heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation.test.ts`**
— replaces the poll-on-`heartbeat_runs.status` teardown with `await
heartbeatService(db).drainActiveRunExecutions()` before clearing tables;
removes the now-unnecessary `waitForHeartbeatRunToComplete` helper
## Verification
```bash
# Full file (22 tests)
npx vitest run server/src/server-suites/heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation.test.ts
# 12x stress loop (264 test-runs, 0 failures)
for i in $(seq 1 12); do
npx vitest run server/src/server-suites/heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation.test.ts || break
done
# Type check the changed files
npx tsc --noEmit
```
- 22/22 tests green locally
- 12/12 full-file loop iterations: 264 test-runs / 264 afterEach cycles,
0 failures
- Widened-teardown stress variant (failed deterministically before the
fix) now passes with the drain
## Risks
Low risk. The drain mechanism is additive — it only affects test
teardown and could also be wired into graceful shutdown. The
fire-and-forget dispatch in production is unchanged. The `Set`-based
tracking adds negligible overhead per run dispatch (insert on dispatch,
delete on completion).

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is an open-source AI agent management platform; its test
suite spans a `server` package that mounts real embedded Postgres
databases in `beforeAll`/`afterAll` hooks
> - The `server` package CI shard runs all ~93 suites serially
(`maxWorkers=1`) on a loaded CI host; each suite boots and tears down
its own embedded Postgres in hook callbacks
> - vitest's default `hookTimeout` is 10 seconds; under load, graceful
embedded-Postgres shutdown occasionally crosses that threshold
> - This produces intermittent `Error: Hook timed out in 10000ms`
failures in `afterAll` hooks — not test assertion failures — and the
suites pass on re-run, making them textbook flaky tests
> - Inspecting `embedded-postgres@18.1.0-beta.16` shows that `stop()`
takes no argument (no fast-shutdown mode), SIGINTs postgres (already
PostgreSQL "fast shutdown"), and resolves only on the child's `exit`
event with no internal time bound
> - Two targeted fixes: (1) raise `hookTimeout` and `teardownTimeout` to
30 s in `server/vitest.config.ts` — one config change that eliminates
the flake for all ~93 suites at once; (2) wrap `stop()` in a 5 s bounded
`Promise.race` in the test helper so a slow shutdown can never hang the
hook regardless of OS scheduling variance
> - This PR changes only test-infra and test-config; no production-code
behavior changes
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this flake. Inline bug description
(bug report template):
**What happened?**
The `General tests (server (N/3))` CI shards intermittently fail with
`Error: Hook timed out in 10000ms` in `afterAll` hooks and pass on
re-run. Every test assertion passes; only the teardown hook exceeds
vitest's default timeout.
**Expected behavior**
CI passes reliably. Teardown timeouts should not be a source of flake.
**Steps to reproduce**
Run the server test suite repeatedly on a loaded host or in CI with
`maxWorkers=1` — the shard occasionally crosses 10 s in `afterAll`
during embedded-Postgres shutdown.
**Paperclip version**
`master`, any build that includes `server/vitest.config.ts` without an
explicit `hookTimeout`.
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted (CI).
## What Changed
- **`server/vitest.config.ts`** — added `hookTimeout: 30000` and
`teardownTimeout: 30000`. Removes flake across all ~93 server suites at
once. 30 s gives generous headroom over observed worst-case teardown
while still catching a genuinely hung hook.
- **`packages/db/src/test-embedded-postgres.ts`** — added
`stopEmbeddedPostgresBounded()`, a 5 s `Promise.race` wrapper around
`stop()`. Applied at all three call sites inside `cleanup()`. Data dir
is still removed unconditionally; errors are still swallowed; the
null-instance guard is preserved. Existing behavior unchanged except the
shutdown can no longer block indefinitely.
## Verification
- `tsc --noEmit` clean on `packages/db` (built against worktree-local
`shared`)
- `packages/db` `client.test.ts` passes 14/14 — boots embedded Postgres
and exercises the bounded teardown via `cleanup()` in `afterEach`
- Standalone bounded-race semantics verified: hang resolves at the 5 s
bound; late or immediate `stop()` rejection swallowed; no unhandled
rejection; null-instance path safe
- CI: all 3 server shards + split-verify lane (Async-Verification Gate)
expected green after this PR
```bash
# Reproduce the teardown test locally:
cd packages/db && npx vitest run src/client.test.ts
# Type-check packages/db:
npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/db/tsconfig.json
```
## Risks
Low risk. No product-code changes — test-infra and test-config only. The
vitest timeout increase is additive (raises the ceiling; never lowers
it). The bounded race wrapper preserves prior teardown behavior exactly:
data dir always removed, errors always swallowed, stop is still
attempted. A worst-case outcome is that a genuinely hung `stop()` now
surfaces as a test timeout at 30 s instead of 10 s — still caught, just
later.

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

> - `cost_events` already has a `billing_code` column, but nothing

to `issues` at query time, which reflects the issue's *current* billing
code rather than the one in effect when the cost was incurred
> - This pull request threads `billingCode` through
`resolveLedgerScopeForRun` so the heartbeat stamps it onto each
`cost_events` row at record time
> - The benefit is that attribution is captured at write time and stays
correct if an issue's billing code later changes
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing public GitHub issue. Describing the problem in-PR:
**Problem.** `cost_events` has a `billing_code` column that is never
written. The heartbeat's cost-ledger insert records `issueId` and
`projectId` but not the billing code of the issue the run belongs to, so
every row lands with `billing_code` NULL.
**Impact.** Cost-per-billing-code reporting has to derive attribution by
joining `cost_events` back to `issues` at query time. That join returns
the issue's billing code *as of the query*, not as of when the cost was
incurred, so historical cost reports shift retroactively whenever an
issue is re-coded.
**Desired behaviour.** The billing code in effect at record time is
stored on the `cost_events` row itself.
**Related PRs.** #6820 — same change to the same file by the same
author, opened separately. These are duplicates; only one should land.
## What Changed
- `resolveLedgerScopeForRun` now selects `issues.billingCode` alongside
`id` and `projectId`.
- The scope object it returns gained a `billingCode` field, populated
with `issue?.billingCode ?? null`.
- The early-return path for runs with no issue in context returns
`billingCode: null`.
- The `costs.createEvent` call in `heartbeatService` passes
`billingCode: ledgerScope.billingCode` alongside `issueId`/`projectId`.
No schema migration: `cost_events.billing_code` already exists.
## Verification
**No automated test accompanies this change.** There is currently no
test asserting that a `cost_events` row carries the issue's billing code
when an issue is in scope, or `null` when there is not. A reviewer
should treat the checks below as manual verification only.
Manual verification against a running instance:
```sql
-- Non-NULL billing_code for recent runs on billed issues
SELECT billing_code, COUNT(*)
FROM cost_events
WHERE created_at > NOW() - INTERVAL '1 hour'
GROUP BY billing_code;
-- Cost attribution query this change is intended to enable
SELECT billing_code, SUM(cost_cents)
FROM cost_events
GROUP BY billing_code;
```
Expected: rows for runs attached to an issue with a billing code now
carry that code; runs with no issue in context remain NULL.
## Risks
Low risk in blast radius, with two things worth a reviewer's attention:
- **Behavioural shift for consumers.** `cost_events.billing_code` was
uniformly NULL and now starts arriving populated. Anything downstream
that groups, filters, or dedupes on that column will see new values and
new cardinality. Existing rows are not backfilled, so the column is
mixed NULL/non-NULL across the historical boundary.
- **No test coverage.** The null-fallback behaviour on both paths is
asserted only by reading the code, not by a test.
- **Migration safety:** not applicable — no schema change; the column
already exists.
- **Failure mode:** if `billingCode` were absent from the `issues`
selection the value would silently be `undefined` rather than erroring,
so the field is worth confirming in review.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is an open-source AI-agent management platform; agents run
tasks inside sandboxed environments (Daytona, Kubernetes, E2B, etc.)
> - The control-plane ↔ sandbox file-transfer path flows through the
`environmentExecute` seam in `protocol.ts` — the only verb available to
plugins — which forces a base64-over-exec chunked loop for every file
move: workspace files, assets, Codex home sync
> - This transport is correct and safe, but it bypasses provider-native
bulk/streaming APIs (Daytona `uploadFiles`, K8s `FastUploadInterceptor`
/ volume mounts), leaving significant throughput on the table for large
workspaces
> - The right fix is an opt-in seam extension: providers with faster
native transfer declare two optional verbs; providers that do not opt in
stay on the existing fallback with zero code or behavior change required
> - This PR adds the first layer of that extension — two optional verbs
(`environmentSyncIn` / `environmentSyncOut`) in the plugin SDK, the
runtime plumbing to prefer the native path for the two clean
destroy-then-replace cases, and a doc for the contract
> - The core correctness invariant is byte-identical fallback: if no
provider opts in, execution is exactly what ships today;
`assertSyncOperationsConfined` enforces host-side path confinement for
providers that do opt in
> - No provider advertises the verbs yet → zero production behavior
change; future PRs wire up Daytona and K8s providers against this
contract
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this feature. Description follows the
`feature_request` issue template:
**Subsystem affected:**
packages/plugins — plugin system; packages/adapter-utils — adapter
runtime; server/ — EnvironmentRuntimeService
**Problem or motivation:**
Sandbox file transfers currently always use a base64-over-exec chunked
loop regardless of what the underlying provider supports. For workspaces
larger than a few MB this becomes the dominant wall-clock cost of every
sandbox run, and it bypasses bulk/stream APIs that providers like
Daytona already expose natively.
**Proposed solution:**
Add two optional, opt-in plugin hooks — `onEnvironmentSyncIn` /
`onEnvironmentSyncOut` — to the plugin SDK. When a provider defines both
hooks and both are advertised via the existing `supportedMethods`
negotiation, the runtime prefers the native path for the two clean
destroy-then-replace transfer cases; all other cases fall back to the
existing byte-identical base64 transport.
**Alternatives considered:**
An unconditional verb would require every provider to implement or stub
the verb. The opt-in / `METHOD_NOT_IMPLEMENTED` pattern (already used by
`environmentExecute`) preserves backward compatibility with zero
provider changes required.
**Roadmap alignment:**
Consistent with the ✅ "Cloud / Sandbox agents" and ✅ "Plugin system"
milestones; extends the plugin seam rather than adding
control-plane-level logic.
**Additional context:**
Searched open pull requests and issues for duplicate sandbox file-sync /
native-transfer work; none found.
## What Changed
- **`packages/plugins/sdk`**
- `protocol.ts`: two new optional `HostToWorkerMethods` —
`environmentSyncIn` / `environmentSyncOut` — plus generic
`SyncOperation`, `SyncFileMapping`, and `SyncOutcome` types
- `define-plugin.ts`: optional `onEnvironmentSyncIn` /
`onEnvironmentSyncOut` fields on `PluginDefinition`; worker advertises
each verb only when its hook is defined (else `METHOD_NOT_IMPLEMENTED`,
mirroring `environmentExecute`)
- `worker-rpc-host.ts`: route new verbs to plugin hooks
- `index.ts`: re-export new public types
- **`packages/adapter-utils`**
- `command-managed-runtime.ts`: expose optional `syncIn` / `syncOut` on
`CommandManagedRuntimeRunner` (available only when both verbs are
advertised); add `assertSyncOperationsConfined` host-side
path-confinement guard
- `sandbox-managed-runtime.ts`: `SandboxManagedRuntimeClient` gains
optional `syncIn` / `syncOut`; orchestrator prefers native path for
default-provision asset inbound and workspace-download-into-fresh-dir
outbound; all other paths keep the existing base64 fallback
- `sandbox-file-sync.test.ts` (new): 234-line characterization suite —
native-opt-in branch, fallback branch, `assertSyncOperationsConfined`
escape-path rejection, `followSymlinks` → tar `-h`
- `command-managed-runtime.test.ts`: negotiation + native-sync +
confinement tests
- **`server/src/services/environment-runtime.ts`**:
`EnvironmentRuntimeService` delegates to `syncIn` / `syncOut`, gated on
advertised support
- **`server/src/services/environment-execution-target.ts`**: minor
typing fix alongside the new verbs
- **`doc/plugins/SANDBOX_FILE_SYNC_HOOKS.md`** (new): documents the full
contract — opt-in / no-op guarantee, operation ordering,
provider-may-tar, atomicity, `followSymlinks`, secret modes (0600, no
window), path confinement, `operationId` opacity, resource bounds,
shell-quoting
## Verification
```bash
# SDK suite
pnpm --filter packages/plugins/sdk test
# Adapter-utils suite (includes new sandbox-file-sync characterization tests)
pnpm --filter packages/adapter-utils test
# Expected: 255 pass / 4 skip
# Type-check across affected packages
pnpm --filter packages/plugins/sdk typecheck
pnpm --filter packages/adapter-utils typecheck
# Server changed-file spot check:
cd server && npx tsc --noEmit --skipLibCheck 2>&1 | grep -E "environment-(runtime|execution-target)" | head -20
```
Key behavioral invariant to spot-check: with no provider opting in (the
current state), run any sandbox task and confirm file-transfer behavior
is byte-for-byte identical to what the pre-PR code produces. The
characterization tests assert this at the unit level.
## Risks
- **Zero production risk today**: no provider advertises
`environmentSyncIn` / `environmentSyncOut`, so the new code paths are
unreachable in production; all real traffic stays on the existing base64
fallback
- **Path confinement**: `assertSyncOperationsConfined` rejects any
`targetPath` that escapes the declared root — this is the primary
security boundary for future providers. The test suite covers
escape-path rejection
- **Atomicity**: the contract delegates atomicity to providers; the doc
explicitly calls out that directory-level ops are not guaranteed atomic
- **Secret transport**: credential assets (e.g., Codex `auth.json`,
directory mappings) continue to use the existing tar path — they do not
go through the new verbs in any current provider

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage AI
agents and their work
> - Heartbeat scheduling tests protect the orchestration rules that
serialize an agent's runs
> - The dependency scheduling suite waits for run rows to become
terminal before deleting shared database fixtures
> - A terminal row is persisted before asynchronous execution
finalization and successful-run handoff work fully drain
> - The test then clears process tracking and deletes heartbeat events
while finalization can still append another event
> - This pull request waits for each tracked run's execution promise to
drain before resetting mocks or deleting fixtures
> - The benefit is deterministic cleanup that preserves the production
lifecycle ordering and prevents release CI flakes
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### What happened?
Release run `29936031931` failed in
`heartbeat-dependency-scheduling.test.ts` while deleting
`heartbeat_runs`. Asynchronous heartbeat finalization inserted a new
`heartbeat_run_events` row after the test had already deleted existing
events, causing the run-row delete to violate the event foreign key.
### Expected behavior
The serialized heartbeat test suite should finish all asynchronous run
execution work before destructive fixture cleanup.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Check out commit `2aef4641b48e88f5ce7e75ce69fbe3bf6bbfc60d`.
2. Run `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-dependency-scheduling.test.ts
--pool=forks --isolate` repeatedly with PostgreSQL test support enabled.
3. Observe that teardown can delete heartbeat events while execution
finalization is still able to append another event, causing a
foreign-key failure when heartbeat runs are deleted.
### Paperclip version or commit
`2aef4641b48e88f5ce7e75ce69fbe3bf6bbfc60d`
### Deployment mode
Other — GitHub Actions release verification.
### Installation method
Built from source with pnpm.
### Agent adapter(s) involved
Not adapter-specific (core heartbeat test lifecycle).
### Database mode
External PostgreSQL test database.
### Relevant logs or output
`delete from "heartbeat_runs"` failed because the run remained
referenced by `heartbeat_run_events_run_id_heartbeat_runs_id_fk`.
## What Changed
- Collect heartbeat run IDs after queued/running rows settle and await
`heartbeat.waitForRunExecutionDrain()` for each run.
- Reset the adapter mock and clear process tracking only after
asynchronous heartbeat finalization has completed.
## Verification
- Ran `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-dependency-scheduling.test.ts
--pool=forks --isolate` 10 consecutive times; all 10 runs passed with
6/6 tests.
## Risks
- Low risk: test-only cleanup ordering change using an existing
heartbeat service drain API. Production behavior is unchanged.

## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex with exact model IDs `gpt-5.5` for this heartbeat and
`gpt-5.6-sol` for the recovered initial implementation run; tool-enabled
code inspection, GitHub diagnostics, and shell test execution. Runtime
context-window sizes were not exposed.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies.
> - Agents already receive selected company secrets through `env.*`
bindings at run launch, but environment injection is ambient,
long-lived, and not suitable for every secret consumer.
> - The existing binding and secret-access-event models already provide
company-scoped authorization and per-resolution audit seams.
> - Agents need an explicit way to discover only the secrets granted to
them and fetch a value on demand without exposing the wider company
catalog.
> - That capability must remain run-bound, preserve low-trust token
carve-outs, and make every value read visible in both security and
operator audit trails.
> - This pull request adds an `access.*` delivery namespace, two
run-bound agent routes, dual audit logging, documentation, and an
operator grants editor.
> - The benefit is least-privilege, revocable, auditable secret access
while preserving existing env injection behavior.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No pre-existing public issue. Related work:
- Refs #9797 — existing in-sheet agent access UI that this PR extends to
distinguish env and API delivery.
- Refs #9918 — complementary searchable-agent picker improvement for the
same secrets sheet.
- Refs #9530 — related company-wide metadata catalog proposal; this PR
intentionally exposes only the authenticated run's granted aliases and
values.
**Problem / motivation:** Agents can currently consume secrets only
through process environment injection. This keeps values resident for
the run, does not support on-demand consumers, and cannot provide a
discrete operator-visible activity event for each agent-initiated read.
**Proposed solution:** Treat `company_secret_bindings` as the source of
truth for agent secret grants. Keep `env.KEY` as env delivery and add
`access.ALIAS` for API-only delivery; an env binding also implies read
access because the value is already present in the agent process. Add
run-bound list/fetch endpoints that derive scope from the authenticated
heartbeat run and never accept caller-selected overlays.
**Alternatives considered:** A company-wide agent-readable catalog was
rejected for this value path because it increases reconnaissance and
does not prove a per-secret grant. Reusing the ephemeral
environment-probe resolver was rejected because it lacks binding
enforcement. Approval-gated reads and user-scoped secrets remain
deferred beyond v1.
**Roadmap alignment:** This extends the completed **Secrets Manager with
per-agent access** roadmap capability from launch-time env injection to
explicit run-bound API delivery without duplicating a separate planned
initiative.
## What Changed
- Added `access.*` agent binding validation and a dedicated run-bound
resolver that combines `secrets:read` authorization with binding-context
enforcement.
- Added `GET /api/agents/me/secrets` for minimal granted metadata and
`POST /api/agents/me/secrets/:key/value` for on-demand value fetches
with `Cache-Control: no-store`.
- Preserved the existing denials for low-trust review agents,
task-bridge credentials, and skill-test tokens; standard long-lived
agent API keys cannot call the run-bound routes.
- Added dual audit behavior: value attempts write `secret_access_events`
and `activity_log` (`secret.value.read`), while metadata listing writes
the lighter `secret.access.listed` activity event.
- Kept env compatibility: `env.*` remains injected at launch and also
implies API read for the same bound agent; `access.*` never becomes an
environment variable.
- Added the agent-settings **Secret access** editor plus
delivery-mode/alias surfacing on the Secrets page, with focused UI tests
and tokenized layout styles.
- Updated OpenAPI, shared types, agent-facing skill documentation, and
API reference documentation.
### UI Screenshots
P3 produced and reviewed three screenshots using mock data; images are
intentionally not committed to the repository:
- `secret-access-editor.png` — agent settings grant editor.
- `secret-access-light.png` — Secrets-page delivery surfacing in light
mode.
- `secret-access-dark.png` — Secrets-page delivery surfacing in dark
mode.
The source attachments are retained with the implementation task and
linked in the internal handoff; the public page publisher was
unavailable in the PR-prep runtime.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/agent-secrets-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/secrets-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/secrets-routes.test.ts
ui/src/lib/secret-delivery.test.ts
ui/src/components/AgentSecretAccessEditor.test.tsx` — 5 files, 122 tests
passed.
- Security follow-up: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/agent-secrets-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/secrets-service.test.ts` — 2 files, 73 tests passed
after active-run and version-consistency fixes.
- Final-head CI: all feature, typecheck, build, e2e, security, and
review gates pass; `General tests (server (1/3))` remains red after one
rerun because unrelated `heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts` cleanup
deletes `heartbeat_runs` before referenced `activity_log` rows.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — feature-local arbitrary-value violations
fixed; command still reports five unchanged `#9627` literals outside
this PR.
- End-to-end QA passed all eight acceptance criteria: grant/list, fetch,
dual audit, env-implies-read, denial matrix, revocation, UI rendering,
and env-injection regression. Evidence:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/9921#issuecomment-5027455492
- Security review returned PASS-with-required-changes; the
implementation uses the required dedicated binding-enforcing resolver,
run-bound JWT restriction, run-derived overlays, minimal metadata, and a
resolver redaction-registration hook. Evidence:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/9921#issuecomment-5027455382
## Risks
- A compromised agent can exfiltrate any secret explicitly granted to
it; explicit company-scoped/run-scoped grants, revocation, and audit
reduce but cannot remove that inherent capability risk.
- The resolver invokes a redaction-registration hook before returning
values, but the current route has no persistent cross-request per-run
redaction registry. Paperclip-owned later comments/events therefore
cannot yet guarantee automatic scrubbing of a deliberately copied
fetched value; QA classified this as non-blocking residual hardening.
- Audit-event insertion currently fails open if the security-event
insert itself fails; the operator activity event provides partial
redundancy, but a future hardening change should define fail-closed
behavior for value delivery.
- This PR overlaps `ui/src/pages/Secrets.tsx` with #9918 and may require
a straightforward rebase after that PR moves.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent runs get their environment from user/adapter/project/routine
env bindings resolved by the server heartbeat, plus `PAPERCLIP_*`
runtime vars (identity, wake, workspace, API access) injected by the
harness
> - The heartbeat stripped **every** `PAPERCLIP_`-prefixed binding
before resolution, so legitimately user-named keys (e.g. cloud provider
token bindings like `PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_PROD_PROVIDER_RAILWAY_*`) were
silently dropped and never reached the run env
> - At the same time, several adapters honored an explicitly configured
`PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` over the harness-minted run token, which is exactly
the one key config must never control
> - This pull request replaces the blanket prefix strip with a precise
three-rule policy: never accept `PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` from config, always
let harness-assigned runtime vars win, and let every other
`PAPERCLIP_*`-named user binding flow through
> - The benefit is that user secrets with a `PAPERCLIP_`-style name work
like any other binding, while runtime identity and API credentials stay
fully harness-controlled
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Bug description** (no public issue exists):
- **What happened:** Env bindings whose key starts with `PAPERCLIP_`
(e.g. a cloud provider token a user deliberately named
`PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_PROD_PROVIDER_RAILWAY_TOKEN`) were silently stripped by
the server before secret resolution, so the spawned agent never received
them. No error, no access event — the variable just never appeared.
- **Expected behavior:** A user-named `PAPERCLIP_*` binding should reach
the run env unless the harness itself uses that key. Only
`PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` should be categorically rejected, and
harness-assigned runtime vars (`PAPERCLIP_RUN_ID`, `PAPERCLIP_AGENT_ID`,
wake/workspace vars, …) should always win over config.
- **Steps to reproduce:** Configure an agent/project env binding named
`PAPERCLIP_<ANYTHING>` (plain or secret_ref), run a heartbeat, and
inspect the spawned process env — the key is absent.
- **Deployment mode:** local server, any local adapter.
Related prior PRs (different, save-time/API-layer blanket-ban approach;
this PR supersedes that direction with a runtime allow-except-reserved
policy): Refs #8239, Refs #8439.
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`: the pre-resolution strip now
removes only `PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` (hard denylist) instead of every
`PAPERCLIP_`-prefixed binding; other `PAPERCLIP_*` keys flow into
binding resolution. Low-trust inline-sensitive-env checks now also cover
those keys.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.ts`: new
`isForbiddenConfigEnvKey()` helper; the shared
`refreshPaperclipWorkspaceEnvForExecution` merge drops
`PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` from config and keeps harness-assigned `PAPERCLIP_*`
keys authoritative.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.ts`: removed the
explicit-`PAPERCLIP_API_KEY`-from-config allowance; the run token
(`authToken`) is now always applied; config `PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` is
ignored.
- All local adapters (`claude-local`, `codex-local`, `cursor-local`,
`gemini-local`, `grok-local`, `opencode-local`, `pi-local`) plus
`cursor-cloud`, `hermes`, and the server `process` adapter: removed
`hasExplicitApiKey`-style allowances so the harness token always wins,
and guarded the remaining unguarded env-merge loops (claude-local inline
loop, process adapter) with the same policy.
- Tests updated/added: heartbeat binding-strip test now asserts the
three-rule policy; adapter-utils merge tests assert the
`PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` ban and `PAPERCLIP_*` pass-through; acpx engine
tests moved credential fixtures to `authToken` and assert config
`PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` is ignored while other `PAPERCLIP_*` config keys
forward and still bust the session fingerprint on rotation.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts` — 127 passed
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-project-env.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-local-environment.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/claude-local-execute.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/codex-local-execute.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/cursor-local-execute.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/gemini-local-execute.test.ts` — 68 passed
- Adapter package execute suites and the server tests touching API-key
fixtures (`heartbeat-run-log`, `redaction`,
`effective-run-config-fingerprints`, `agent-permissions-routes`) —
green. Three pre-existing sandbox/SSH fixture failures reproduce
identically on clean `master` on this host and are unrelated.
- `pnpm --filter <pkg> typecheck` for server, adapter-utils, and all
nine touched adapter packages — all pass.
## Risks
- Behavioral change: a deployment that relied on configuring a static
`PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` in adapter config env loses that override — by
design; the harness-minted run token is now the only source. When no run
token exists, no API key is injected at all.
- `PAPERCLIP_*`-named user bindings now reach binding resolution and run
envs; a key that collides with a harness runtime var is still discarded
at merge time, so runtime identity/wake/workspace vars cannot be
spoofed.
- Low risk otherwise: no migrations, no API surface changes.
## Model Used

Mythos-class tier), extended thinking enabled, agentic tool use (file
edits, shell, test runner) via Claude Agent SDK.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Connections is the subsystem that lets operators connect external
apps and govern which subjects may use those credentials
> - #9958 established the v3 schema foundation and #9981 adds the
AppDefinition catalog layer
> - The runtime still needs subject-aware authorization state, scoped
key handling, and API/OpenAPI routes so connected apps can actually be
granted and used safely
> - This pull request adds the runtime grants/authorization behavior on
top of the catalog branch, while keeping unrelated dependency and
workflow sync commits out of the stack
> - The benefit is a reviewable runtime layer that can land after the
catalog PR, then unblock the wizard and orchestrator cutover work
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #9958 and #9981.
Refs #9981.
No public GitHub issue exists for this branch. This is the runtime layer
for the Connections v3 stack and is rebased onto `master` after #9981
landed.
## What Changed
- Adds the connection user authorization state migration and schema
wiring.
- Adds shared runtime subject/grant types and validators.
- Adds runtime grant and scoped key behavior in the tool-access service.
- Adds runtime route coverage and registers the routes in OpenAPI.
- Replays only the Connections runtime commits on top of the catalog
branch, dropping unrelated sync/dependency history from the prior closed
runtime PR.
## Verification
- `pnpm run preflight:workspace-links`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/shared/src/validators/tool-access.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts`
## Risks
- Medium: runtime grant enforcement is security-sensitive and must fail
closed for unknown key scopes.
- Migration ordering depends on the schema and catalog layers already
merged through #9958 and #9981.
- This PR is rebased and retargeted to `master` with runtime-only
commits.

work
> - Connections is the subsystem that defines which external apps and

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #9958.
No public GitHub issue exists for this branch. This is the catalog layer
for the Connections v3 stack after the schema-core foundation in #9958.
## What Changed
- Adds generated AppDefinition data for the Wave 1 catalog and ingestion
reporting.
- Replaces the legacy tool app gallery exports with
AppDefinition-centered shared contracts, validators, and tests.
- Updates server tool-access lookup behavior to use the AppDefinition
catalog.
- Updates app connection UI surfaces and tests to consume
AppDefinition-backed catalog data.
- Documents the catalog ingestion workflow in the connector playbook.
## Verification

server/src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts`
## Risks
- Medium: this changes the catalog contract used by shared, server, and
UI app connection surfaces.
- Catalog data quality matters because generated definitions now drive
browse/setup display.
- Follow-up runtime and wizard PRs must rebase on this branch or on
master after this lands.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies and their governed access to external systems.
> - Connected Apps build on the existing Apps and MCP gateway substrate
so companies can configure reusable, auditable integrations.
> - The current connection record does not yet have a stable public
address, explicit ownership/auth method fields, or subject-specific
credential grants.
> - Without that schema core, later OAuth, per-user authorization, token
brokering, triggers, and connector-service phases cannot enforce tenant
and subject boundaries consistently.
> - This pull request adds the forward-compatible Connections v3 schema
core while preserving the existing connection lifecycle and directly
migrating the remote MCP transport name.
> - The benefit is a company-scoped, least-privilege foundation for
one-click integrations without bypassing Paperclip secrets, profiles,
rules, or audit controls.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No matching public issue was found.
**Problem**
Paperclip's current app connections need a durable identity and
authorization substrate before Connected Apps can safely support
multiple setup methods, per-user credentials, provider tenants, and
managed connector services. The existing schema only models a single
connection-level credential set and uses legacy transport terminology.
**Proposed solution**
Add a stable company-scoped connection UID, explicit
ownership/auth/transport fields, a subject-aware `connection_grants`
table, and multi-key credential annotations. Backfill existing
connections and workspace grants in a reversible migration, then update
shared/server/UI contracts to the new `mcp_remote` transport name.
**Related work**
- Related foundation: #9534
- Roadmap: Connected Apps (one-click integrations)
## What Changed
- Added company-scoped connection `uid`, `ownership`, `authKind`, and
canonical transport fields across database, shared contracts,
validators, services, and UI fixtures.
- Added `connection_grants` with workspace/user subject rules, provider
tenant metadata, credential secret refs, revocation state, company
scoping, and uniqueness constraints.
- Added migration `0182_connections_v3_schema_core` to backfill stable
UIDs, rename `remote_http` to `mcp_remote`, infer auth kinds, create
default workspace grants, and support rollback coverage.
- Added multi-key credential annotations and updated gateway/access
services without changing the existing lifecycle behavior.
- Updated the connection glossary, connector playbook, and security
threat model for the new identity, grant, and relay boundaries.
- Added explicit test UIDs to direct database fixtures so the new
non-null invariant is exercised across affected server suites.

- Latest-head GitHub Actions: build, typecheck, general/serialized
suites, backup/worktree restore coverage, both e2e shards, canary,
policy, and security scans pass.
- Greptile: 5/5 with zero unresolved threads.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` remains red only on five pre-existing `#9627`
color literals outside this change.
## Risks
- **Migration risk:** UID backfill and default-grant creation touch
every existing connection. The migration uses company-scoped uniqueness,
deterministic legacy UIDs with ID suffixes, and seeded up/rollback
coverage.
- **Authorization risk:** Grant rows carry credential references.
Constraints enforce workspace-vs-user subject shape, company/connection
lookup indexes, one default grant per connection, and one user grant per
connection/subject. Security review is requested specifically for this
design.
- **Compatibility risk:** `remote_http` is renamed directly to
`mcp_remote`; all repository call sites and fixtures are updated in the
same change.
- **Future-phase risk:** Subject-bound token issuance, triggers, and
connector-service relay verification remain fail-closed requirements
documented for later phases; this PR does not expose those capabilities.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents and board users can attach files to issues so context and
deliverables stay with the task
> - Some clients upload Microsoft Office files with generic binary MIME
types such as `application/octet-stream`
> - Current `master` now accepts arbitrary issue attachment MIME types,
so the upload should keep working for unknown binary files
> - Office files still benefit from being stored with a specific Office
MIME type when the filename makes that inference safe
> - Shared attachment allow-list defaults should also include common
Office MIME types for routes that still use that allow-list
> - This pull request keeps the current arbitrary-MIME issue upload
behavior and only narrows generic binary uploads to Office MIME types
for known Office filename extensions
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#8243
Duplicate search performed before implementation:
- No matching open or closed PR found for `8243`, `Office document`,
`attachment MIME`, or `openxmlformats`.
## What Changed
- Added common Office MIME types to the default shared attachment
allow-list.
- Added upload content-type normalization that maps generic binary
uploads to a specific Office MIME type only for known Office filename
extensions.
- Added an optional helper-level allow-list gate so callers that still
validate against an effective allow-list can keep generic binary uploads
generic when the inferred Office MIME type is not allowed.
- Reused the shared generic attachment content-type list for response
handling.
- Preserved current `master` behavior for issue uploads that use unknown
or arbitrary MIME types.
- Added regression coverage for default Office allow-list matching,
filename inference, optional allow-list fallback, official Office MIME
uploads, inferred generic Office uploads, and preservation of unknown
generic binary uploads.
## Verification
- `env CI=true corepack pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --force`
- `env CI=true corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest
run src/__tests__/attachment-types.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-attachment-routes.test.ts`
- `env CI=true corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk
ensure-build-deps`
- `env CI=true corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc
--noEmit`
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD`
GitHub CI, security checks, and Greptile pass on rebased head
`acc364cfbe3440a59db6570bb907818046649eb4`.
## Risks
Low risk. The issue attachment route continues to accept arbitrary MIME
types as current `master` does; this change only stores a more specific
Office MIME type for generic binary uploads when the filename has a
known Office extension. Unknown generic binary uploads remain generic.
For callers that use an allow-list before storing uploads,
`normalizeUploadAttachmentContentType` supports an optional gate so
inference can be limited to MIME types that are already allowed.
No docs change included because this is a default upload compatibility
fix covered by server tests.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Issues can carry an embedded multi-stage `executionPolicy` (e.g. QA
→ CodeReviewer → CodePusher) driven by
`applyIssueExecutionStageTransition` in
`server/src/services/issue-execution-policy.ts`
> - On approval, the next stage was picked with `nextPendingStage()`,
which scans the **whole** stage list from index 0 for the first id not
in `completedStageIds`
> - Stage ids are regenerated whenever the embedded policy is re-sent or
edited mid-flow (a supported operation — the existing "reassigns the
active stage when the current participant is removed" test depends on
it), so earlier `completedStageIds` can stop matching the current
policy; a final-stage approve then "finds" stage 1 pending again and
rebuilds a first-stage review (#7893) — an endless re-review loop that
can recycle indefinitely against a moving main tip
> - This pull request makes approvals advance with a forward-only scan
(only stages *after* the one being approved), so approving the last
stage always terminates the policy, and adds a guard so an
already-completed execution state is terminal for `status=done`
> - The benefit is final-stage approvals close the issue as the policy
intends, with no behavior change for non-final advancement or
reject/changes_requested verdicts
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#7893
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/issue-execution-policy.ts`:
- New `nextPendingStageAfter(policy, completedStage, state)` helper —
forward-only scan from the approved stage's index; the approval path
uses it instead of `nextPendingStage()`. Approving the final stage
therefore always yields `nextStage === null` → completed state → the
caller's `done` flows through.
- New guard: `requestedStatus === "done"` with an already-`completed`
execution state returns without restarting the chain at stage 1 (closes
the same loop when a stale completed state lingers).
- Reject/`changes_requested` verdicts and intact-state forward
advancement are untouched.
- `server/src/__tests__/issue-execution-policy.test.ts`: 4 regression
tests, including one that reproduces the exact rewind (regenerated stage
ids + final-stage approve → previously reassigned QA at
`currentStageIndex 0`; now terminal completed) and an explicit
final-stage rejection test pinning the unchanged path.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/issue-execution-policy.test.ts` →
54 passed (50 pre-existing + 4 new).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` → clean.
- The rewind was confirmed empirically against unmodified code first (a
test asserting the buggy output passed pre-fix and flips post-fix), plus
brute-forced realistic operation sequences (checkout dances, status
round-trips, interim comments per the agent flow documented around
#4889) to verify intact-state flows are unaffected.
- Related suites (`issue-execution-policy-routes`,
`issue-comment-reopen-routes`, `issues-service`,
`issue-thread-interaction-routes`,
`issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes`) also pass locally.
## Risks
- Behavior deliberately preserved: non-final approvals (forward scan is
identical when state is intact), rejections at any stage,
reopen-from-done (state cleared on reopen, fresh chain still starts at
stage 1), and explicit `in_review` restarts.
- The policy schema has no terminal-state field, so per the issue's Ask
the policy simply terminates and the requested `done` status flows
through.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server config loader reads `.paperclip/config.json` and feeds it
into the shared Paperclip config schema.
> - When a config file exists but cannot be parsed or fails schema
validation, Paperclip should not silently ignore it.
> - The current `readConfigFile()` catch block treats invalid files the
same as missing files, so startup falls back to defaults while the
banner can still point at the ignored config path.
> - This pull request keeps the missing-file fallback, but makes present
invalid config files fail with a path-specific error.
> - The benefit is safer startup behavior and a clear diagnostic that
points at the invalid config field.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#8908
## What Changed
- Changed `readConfigFile()` to return `null` only when the config file
is absent.
- Added explicit errors for unreadable/invalid JSON config files.
- Added explicit Zod validation errors that include the config path and
invalid field path without printing config contents.
- Added server tests for missing config, invalid JSON, schema validation
failure, and valid config parsing.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/config-file.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
## Risks
Low risk for valid configs and missing configs. This intentionally
changes behavior for present invalid config files from silent fallback
to startup failure, which is the issue being fixed.

Fixes#4206
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents on issues with checkout/release
semantics for execution locks
> - `POST /api/issues/:id/release` clears checkout and execution locks
when a heartbeat ends without finishing the issue
> - `issues.release()` unconditionally set `status: "todo"`, undoing
terminal and waiting states (`done`, `cancelled`, `in_review`,
`blocked`) set during the session
> - Agents reported status drift after release (e.g. `in_review` →
`todo`, `done` → `todo`), forcing manual PATCH recovery and risking
silent stalls
> - This pull request gates the `todo` re-queue to `in_progress` issues
only and preserves all other statuses on release
> - The benefit is lock cleanup without destroying workflow state agents
already recorded
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Fixes#4206 — `issues.release()` must not downgrade terminal/waiting
statuses
- Related internal incident: AIT-114 status drift on terminal issue
release (AI Trading Council)
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/issues.ts` — `releaseStatus` is `todo` only when
`existing.status === "in_progress"`; otherwise preserves
`existing.status`
- `server/src/__tests__/issue-stale-execution-lock-routes.test.ts` —
regression tests: release preserves done, cancelled, in_review, blocked
keeps `done` and clears lock fields
- `server/package.json` — patch bump `0.3.1` → `0.3.2`
- `server/CHANGELOG.md` — documents the fix
## Verification
```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server test issue-stale-execution-lock-routes
```
- 7/7 tests pass (parametrized done, cancelled, in_review, blocked)
(includes new `preserves terminal status when releasing a done issue`
and existing `in_progress` → `todo` on release)
- CI: Build, Typecheck, serialized server suites, e2e, Canary Dry Run
green on latest head `f31b55f`
## Risks
Low risk. Behaviour change is intentional: non-`in_progress` releases no
longer force `todo`. Agents that relied on release to re-queue
`in_review`/`blocked` work must PATCH status explicitly (documented in
agent lifecycle guidance). Rollback: revert this commit and redeploy
`@paperclipai/server` 0.3.1.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane operators use to coordinate AI-agent
companies and review work needing attention.
> - The Inbox is the operator-facing surface that aggregates tasks
requiring attention across server state and shared client polling.
> - Archiving a task optimistically removed it, but ordinary background
activity and stale polling responses could make it reappear seconds
later.
> - The server therefore needs to distinguish genuine user-attention
events from routine agent/system activity.
> - The client also needs a bounded local archive guard across every
Inbox query path while the server mutation and in-flight polls settle.
> - This pull request fixes both resurrection paths and adds
race-focused regression coverage.
> - The benefit is stable archive behavior without hiding a genuine
archive failure after reconciliation or reload.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Pre-submission checklist
- [x] Searched existing open and closed issues and pull requests; no
duplicate implementation was found.
- [x] Reproduced on `master` before this branch.
- [x] Confirmed this is a Paperclip core bug, not adapter or provider
behavior.
### What happened?
Archiving an Inbox task hid it optimistically, then background refresh
activity could insert it back into the list seconds later.
### Expected behavior
A successfully archived task remains hidden during normal polling. A
genuine failed archive may become visible again after reconciliation or
reload.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Open Inbox with a visible task.
2. Archive the task.
3. Wait for shared polling or routine agent activity to refresh task
data.
4. Observe the archived task reappear without a hard page refresh.
### Paperclip version or commit
`master` before this branch.
### Deployment mode
Built from source using the local development application.
### Installation method
Built from source (`pnpm`).
### Agent adapter(s) involved
Not adapter-specific; this is a core Inbox bug.
### Database mode
Not database-mode-specific.
### Access context
Board (human operator).
### Additional context
The failure had independent server and client causes: routine activity
could resurface archived rows server-side, while stale shared-poll
responses could bypass optimistic client removal.
## What Changed
- Restrict server-side Inbox resurfacing to explicit user-attention
events rather than any issue activity write.
- Add a bounded client-side archive guard with confirmation, failure
restoration, and cache reconciliation behavior.
- Apply the guard to Inbox rendering, badge counts, optimistic cache
updates, and shared-poll result application.
- Classify the generic compact Inbox query so stale shared-poll data
cannot bypass the guard.
- Add server visibility-matrix tests and UI race-condition regression
tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/hooks/useSharedPolling.test.ts src/lib/inboxArchiveCache.test.ts
src/pages/Inbox.test.tsx` — 25 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts` — 107 passed.
- Branch rebased cleanly onto current `origin/master` before push.
## Risks
- Low-to-moderate behavioral risk: resurfacing is intentionally
narrower, so the server tests cover human comments, mentions,
interactions, and status transitions that must still regain attention.
- The client guard is bounded and cleared on mutation failure, limiting
the risk of hiding a task whose archive did not persist.
- No schema, migration, public API, workflow, dependency-lock, or
visual-token changes.

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
- Anthropic Claude via Claude Code (`claude_local`; prior
implementation/review run, exact underlying model ID and context window
were not retained in the handoff metadata), with repository tool use and
test execution.
- OpenAI `gpt-5.5` via Codex CLI for final review repair and PR
preparation, with reasoning, repository editing, GitHub tooling, and
code execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The issue-comments API (`POST /api/issues/:id/comments`) attributes
each comment to the run that created it via `created_by_run_id`, a
foreign key into `heartbeat_runs`
> - In multi-agent local control-plane usage, board/session clients
sometimes forward an `X-Paperclip-Run-Id` that is not a real run row — a
non-UUID client request id, a synthetic string, or a since-deleted run
> - That value was written straight to the FK column, so the insert died
with a Postgres FK violation and the endpoint returned HTTP 500,
breaking agent coordination
> - This PR resolves the run id defensively before insert: reject
non-UUID shapes, verify the row exists for the company, and null out
anything unresolvable while logging a warning
> - The benefit is that a bad run-id header degrades gracefully to an
unattributed comment (201) instead of a 500, so comment creation stays
up
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists; describing inline (bug):
**What happened:** `POST /api/issues/:id/comments` returns HTTP 500 when
the request carries an `X-Paperclip-Run-Id` that does not correspond to
a row in `heartbeat_runs` (non-UUID value, synthetic client id, or
deleted run). The value is written to the `created_by_run_id` FK, and
Postgres rejects the insert with a foreign-key violation (SQLSTATE
23503).
**Expected:** the comment is created (HTTP 201); an unresolvable run id
is dropped to `null` rather than failing the request.
**Impact:** in multi-agent usage, comment creation — and the agent
coordination that depends on it — fails whenever a client forwards a run
id that isn't a live run.
## What Changed
- Add `resolveCommentCreatedByRunId(dbOrTx, companyId, runId)` — trims
and validates UUID shape, then checks existence in `heartbeat_runs`
scoped to the company; returns `null` for missing/invalid ids.
- `addComment` now resolves the run id through that helper before insert
and logs a warning when a supplied run id is dropped.
- Add embedded-Postgres regression tests for the three cases (non-UUID
header, unknown UUID, valid run id).
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter server test issues-service` — the new
`issueService.addComment createdByRunId` block passes.
- Cases covered: non-UUID header → 201, `createdByRunId: null`; UUID
absent from `heartbeat_runs` → 201, `null`; valid run id present for the
company → preserved.
## Risks
Low. Purely defensive — valid run ids are still preserved, only
unresolvable ones are nulled. Adds one indexed, tenant-scoped `SELECT`
per comment insert.
## Model Used
Claude Opus 4.8 (extended thinking), via the Paperclip PR-triage
cockpit, produced the added regression tests and this description. The
original implementation is by @digitalflanker-ux; the author's model is
unspecified.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators rely on Paperclip server logs for maintenance, incident
triage, and support handoffs.
> - The HTTP logger persisted request metadata and only redacted
authorization headers.
> - Request cookies and set-cookie headers can contain active session
material and should not be written to durable logs.
> - This pull request keeps the fix intentionally narrow: centralize the
HTTP log redaction path list and include cookie-bearing headers.
> - The benefit is lower credential/session leakage risk from routine
server.log collection or sharing.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No GitHub issue exists for this exact local finding. Inline bug report:
- Type: security/privacy bug.
- Affected area: server HTTP logging middleware.
- Observed problem: local Paperclip maintenance found raw cookies
present in server.log.
- Expected behavior: durable HTTP logs redact authorization and
cookie-bearing request/response headers.
- Impact: anyone with access to copied/exported logs could see
session-bearing cookie values.
- Related/open PRs found during dedup search: #7242, #7306, #7346. This
PR is the minimal local fix branch created from the verified local
maintenance patch; those PRs may be better upstream candidates if
maintainers prefer their broader coverage.
## What Changed
- Added `HTTP_LOG_REDACT_PATHS` for HTTP logger redaction paths.
- Kept existing `req.headers.authorization` redaction.
- Added redaction for `req.headers.cookie`, request `set-cookie`, and
response `set-cookie` paths.
- Added focused tests asserting the required redaction paths are present
and that pino-http output redacts live request/response header secrets.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/http-log-redaction.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- Pre-commit TruffleHog scan: 0 verified/unverified secrets.
- PR CI observed passing so far for policy, Typecheck + Release
Registry, Build, e2e, Socket, Snyk, security-review, and
serialized/workspace suites; remaining jobs may still be running.
## Risks
- Low runtime risk: this only expands pino redaction paths.
- Possible coverage risk: broader redaction helpers in related PRs may
cover more serialized variants beyond the pino-http request/response
header pipeline tested here.
- No migrations, schema changes, or UI changes.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex via Hermes Agent, model gpt-5.5, tool-using coding/ops
session.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip instances can be self-hosted, or provisioned and managed
by a cloud control plane that authenticates users through trusted
headers validated against `PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_TENANT_SERVER_TOKEN`
(`resolveCloudTenantActor`)
> - In `authenticated` deployment mode, the health route reports
`bootstrapStatus: bootstrap_pending` until at least one `instance_admin`
exists, and the UI locks everyone out at the "waiting on its first
admin" claim screen until then — correct for self-hosted instances,
where a human operator must claim the instance
> - But the cloud-tenant trust middleware, by deliberate security
hardening, never grants `instance_admin` and actively purges legacy
grants — so a cloud-managed instance can never leave
`bootstrap_pending`: the gate demands a role the middleware forbids
> - Every control-plane-provisioned instance is therefore permanently
locked at the claim screen even though its users and memberships exist
> - This pull request makes the gate cloud-aware: when the tenant server
token is configured, the instance is considered bootstrapped, because
the control plane owns identity and there is no operator claim step
> - The benefit is that cloud-managed instances become usable while
self-hosted behavior stays byte-for-byte identical, now pinned by a
previously missing regression test
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #2927 (introduced the browser-native first-admin bootstrap flow
this gate feeds). No existing public issue for the deadlock; inline
description per the bug report template:
- **What happened?**: an instance configured with
`PAPERCLIP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE=authenticated` and
`PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_TENANT_SERVER_TOKEN` reports `bootstrapStatus:
bootstrap_pending` forever. All users — including ones created via the
trusted-header path with owner-level company membership — are locked out
at the "This Paperclip is waiting on its first admin" screen.
- **Expected behavior**: a control-plane-managed instance has no
first-admin claim step; users arriving with control-plane identity
should reach the app.
- **Steps to reproduce**:
1. Run the server with `PAPERCLIP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE=authenticated` and a
`PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_TENANT_SERVER_TOKEN` set
2. Create users only through trusted cloud headers (the middleware
upserts them but never grants `instance_admin`, and purges any legacy
grants)
3. `GET /api/health` → `bootstrapStatus` stays `bootstrap_pending`; the
UI shows the claim screen for every visitor, and no supported path
exists to create the `instance_admin` the gate requires
- **Paperclip version or commit**: reproducible on `master` as of
2026-07-20; present since the cloud-tenant `instance_admin` purge
hardening landed.
## What Changed
- `server/src/middleware/auth.ts`: new exported
`isCloudManagedInstance()` predicate beside the trust middleware that
defines the tenant-token contract.
- `server/src/routes/health.ts`: the authenticated-mode first-admin gate
is skipped when the instance is cloud-managed; `bootstrapStatus` reports
`ready`.
- `server/src/__tests__/health.test.ts`: two new tests — authenticated
without the token → `bootstrap_pending` (previously untested regression
baseline), and with the token → `ready` despite zero instance admins.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/health.test.ts` in `server/` — 13/13
- `pnpm vitest run src/middleware/cloud-tenant-actor.test.ts` — 6/6
- Manual: with the env vars from the repro steps set, `GET /api/health`
now returns `bootstrapStatus: "ready"`; without the token, behavior is
unchanged
## Risks
- None for self-hosted deployments: without the env var the gate is the
prior behavior, now pinned by the new regression test.
- For cloud-managed instances the claim screen and
`bootstrapInviteActive` flow no longer appear — intended; browser-based
claim was already disabled in that configuration.
## Model Used
- Claude (Anthropic) — model id `claude-fable-5`, via the Claude Code
CLI harness with tool use (shell, file edits, test execution). Diagnosis
and change agent-assisted, human-directed.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip's sandbox managed runtime is responsible for provisioning
the agent's execution environment — it extracts a home directory asset
into the sandbox before the adapter runs.
> - The sandbox runtime core was directly branching on the adapter key
(`codex`) to decide which merge scripts to stage and which merge-extract
command to run, coupling generic infrastructure to a specific adapter's
credential-merge protocol.
> - This makes it harder to add, remove, or modify per-adapter asset
provisioning without touching the runtime core; it also prevents other
adapters from contributing staged files or a custom extract command at
all.
> - The fix is to move the adapter-specific knowledge into the adapter
itself: the asset descriptor gains optional `provision` (stageFiles +
extractCommand) and `restore` contribution fields that any adapter can
populate, and the runtime core consumes them generically.
> - This pull request introduces those contribution fields, wires the
Codex adapter's inbound credential-merge as a `provision` contribution,
and removes the adapter-specific branching from the runtime core.
> - The benefit is a clean seam: the runtime core is now
adapter-agnostic for asset provisioning, the inbound behavior is
unchanged (same merge matrix, same scripts), and other adapters can
attach custom staged files or extract commands without modifying shared
infrastructure.

the feature template:
**Problem or motivation**
The sandbox managed-runtime asset provisioning in
`sandbox-managed-runtime.ts` branched directly on the adapter key
(`codex`) to decide which merge scripts to stage and which shell command
to use during asset extraction. This tight coupling prevents other
adapters from customizing their provisioning without modifying the
runtime core, and it means the runtime core must import and know about
adapter-specific merge scripts.
**Proposed solution**
Add an optional `provision` contribution (array of `stageFiles` entries
+ an `extractCommand` string) and an optional `restore` contribution to
the asset descriptor returned by adapters. The runtime core now consumes
these generically — if a `provision` contribution is present, it stages
those files and uses the supplied command; otherwise it falls back to
the default `tar -xf` extraction. The Codex adapter populates the
`provision` contribution where it previously depended on core branching.
**Alternatives considered**
Keeping the adapter-specific logic in the core as a documented
exception; rejected because it makes the seam inextensible.
**Roadmap alignment**
Decoupling — removes a latent coupling between the runtime core and a
specific adapter.
## What Changed
- Added `provision` contribution field (`stageFiles: Array<{src, dest}>`
+ `extractCommand: string`) to the `SandboxManagedRuntimeAsset`
descriptor type in `adapter-utils`.
- Added `restore` contribution field (hook for post-restore logic,
populated in a later phase) to the descriptor.
- Removed adapter-key branching (`if adapterKey === 'codex'`) from the
runtime core in `sandbox-managed-runtime.ts`; the core now reads
`provision.stageFiles` and `provision.extractCommand` generically.
- Extracted Codex-specific merge-script paths and the merge-extract
command into `codex-auth-merge-scripts.ts` in `adapter-utils`; the Codex
adapter's `execute.ts` now attaches them as a `provision` contribution
when it builds its managed-home asset descriptor.
- Updated `execution-target.ts` to pass the extended asset type through
to the adapter call site so the new fields are load-bearing end-to-end.
- Added seam-proving unit tests in `sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts`:
contribution-less asset uses the default path; a non-adapter asset
round-trips the generic provision+restore seam; a structural assertion
verifies the runtime core carries no Codex-specific string literals.
- Added one test in `workspace-restore-merge.test.ts` confirming the
inbound merge matrix is unaffected.
## Verification
```bash
# Unit tests (20 pass):
npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts packages/adapter-utils/src/workspace-restore-merge.test.ts
# Type-check both affected packages:
cd packages/adapter-utils && npx tsc --noEmit
cd packages/adapters/codex-local && npx tsc --noEmit
# Structural: runtime core carries no adapter string literals
grep -n 'codex\|auth\.json' packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-managed-runtime.ts
# Expected: zero matches
```
## Risks
**Low risk.** This is a behavior-preserving refactor: the inbound
provisioning output (which files get staged, which command runs) is
identical to before, now driven by the adapter-supplied contribution
instead of core branching. The existing inbound merge matrix tests are
the regression guard. No change to which bytes cross the sandbox
boundary. The SSH transport is untouched.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies and supervise governed work.
> - Decisions capture high-value operator judgment, and the
decision-training foundation merged in #9702 freezes that evidence for
later evaluation and learning.
> - Operators still need the UI from the closed stacked PR #9718 to
intentionally capture examples and inspect the resulting dataset.
> - GitHub automatically closed#9718 when its stacked base branch was
deleted after #9702 merged, leaving the server foundation on `master`
without the corresponding UI.
> - This pull request restores the final UI and its still-required
supporting API fields directly on current `master`, while excluding the
obsolete migration and duplicated server-foundation diffs.
> - The benefit is a reviewable replacement PR that preserves the
completed decision-training workflow without replaying stale stack
history.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Refs #9718
- Refs #9702
## What Changed
- Restored the top-level `/training` library and record inspector with
search, filters, JSONL export, notes editing, and evidence tabs.
- Restored the Decisions-row training affordance and capture drawer,
including preview, provenance, deletion, cache refresh, and approval
consistency behavior.
- Restored the shared types and focused server support needed by the UI
without reintroducing decision-training migrations or the already-merged
server foundation.
- Restored focused UI and attention-service tests from the final #9718
state.
- Credit to the authors and reviewers of #9718; this recovery
transplants their final reviewed delta after the stacked base deletion.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/pages/Training.test.tsx
ui/src/components/DecisionTrainingDrawer.test.tsx
ui/src/components/AttentionQueueRow.test.tsx
server/src/__tests__/attention-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/decision-training.test.ts` — 5 files, 48 tests
passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts` — 3
tests passed; confirms exact route/OpenAPI parity for the restored
preview endpoint.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — the restored files are clean; the
repository-wide command currently reports five pre-existing false
positives where comments reference GitHub issue `#9627` as if it were a
color literal.
## Risks
- Low migration risk: this PR contains no database migrations and is
based directly on current `master`.
- The main behavioral risk is cache invalidation across Decisions and
Training views; focused tests cover capture, update, deletion, row
state, and approval refresh behavior.
- The token-gate baseline remains red on unrelated `#9627` comment
references; this PR does not modify those files.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies and their work
> - Human approvals, issue interactions, and execution decisions already
capture high-value decision moments
> - Those moments are currently transient and cannot be reused as stable
evaluation or training examples
> - Reusable examples need a server-owned, immutable snapshot so later
comments or runs cannot leak into the recorded state
> - Human notes need to remain editable and auditable without changing
the captured state
> - This pull request adds the database model, snapshot capture service,
API, export format, and attention-feed enrichment for decision training
> - The benefit is a durable, inspectable foundation for evaluating
whether agents can reproduce good human decisions from only the context
available at decision time
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Subsystem affected
Cross-cutting (`server/`, `packages/db`, and `packages/shared`).
### Problem or motivation
Paperclip has no durable dataset for converting human decisions into
evaluation-ready examples. Teams need to capture pending or resolved
decisions with the exact issue context, comments, runs, and repository
evidence available at a cutoff, while preventing future context from
leaking into the example.
### Proposed solution
Store immutable, schema-versioned snapshots anchored to durable
interaction, approval, or execution-decision records; keep notes
separately editable with history; expose human-only CRUD, list, and
JSONL export APIs.
### Alternatives considered
Client-generated snapshots were rejected because they duplicate cutoff
logic and cannot reliably enforce no-leakage boundaries. Automatic
outcome backfill was deferred so captured examples remain faithful to
what was known at capture time.
### Roadmap alignment
Supports the roadmap direction of turning completed work and decision
patterns into reusable organizational knowledge.
### Additional context
The implementation records explicit commit-resolution confidence
(`exact`, `nearest_run`, `workspace`, or `none`) so downstream
evaluation can distinguish evidence quality.
## What Changed
- Added the `decision_training_examples` schema and idempotent migration
with company, issue, and source/author indexes.
- Added shared types for decision-training records, notes history, and
versioned snapshots.
- Added a single server-side snapshot capture path with inclusive
comment cutoffs, pre-cutoff run capture, durable decision payloads, and
explicit commit-resolution confidence.
- Added create, list, detail, notes-only update, delete, and JSONL
export routes with human-only write authorization and activity logging
that skips no-op note submissions.
- Added per-user `trainingExampleId` enrichment to attention items.
- Added focused embedded-Postgres tests for cutoff boundaries,
post-cutoff leakage, immutable snapshots, human-only writes, duplicate
prevention, notes history, attention enrichment, and export shape.
- Updated UI test and Storybook attention-item factories for the new
required `trainingExampleId` contract.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/decision-training.test.ts`
— 10 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` — passed, including
migration numbering and safety checks.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
## Risks
- The migration adds a new table and indexes only; it does not rewrite
existing rows or install resolve-time hooks.
- Snapshot JSON can grow with long comment threads and run histories; v1
intentionally favors complete, inspectable examples over aggressive
truncation.
- Commit SHA resolution is evidence-based and records `exact`,
`nearest_run`, or `none` so downstream consumers can account for
confidence.
- The API is additive, but future UI work must continue to treat the
snapshot as immutable and use notes-only updates.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to organize,
govern, and understand AI-agent work
> - Operators need concise, current status views across projects and
execution workspaces without manually reading every issue and run
> - Paperclip already has auditable issues, documents, built-in agents,
routines, and live run events, but no first-class summary-slot workflow
connecting those systems
> - A built-in Summarizer can generate status prose through ordinary
governed tasks while summary slots provide stable, revisioned
destinations for that output
> - The UI needs to show current summaries, generation progress,
failures, revisions, and streaming draft status in the places operators
already work
> - This pull request adds the end-to-end summary-slot data, API, agent,
orchestration, and UI surfaces behind an experimental setting
> - The benefit is decision-oriented status context that remains
company-scoped, auditable, retryable, and inexpensive by default
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this feature.
**Problem**
Operators currently have to reconstruct project and workspace status by
reading many issues, runs, and comments. This makes it hard to identify
decisions, review queues, recent work, and the next event worth
watching.
**Proposed capability**
Add an experimental summary system with revisioned summary slots for
projects and workspaces, a paused-by-default built-in Summarizer agent,
governed generation tasks, live draft status, and reusable UI cards.
**Expected behavior**
- Summary data remains company-scoped and revisions remain auditable.
- Generation runs through normal issue/agent orchestration and
deduplicates active requests.
- Only the linked built-in Summarizer generation task can author a slot
revision.
- Operators can generate, retry, inspect revisions, and follow draft
progress from project and workspace views.
- The feature remains opt-in and background generation remains paused by
default.
## What Changed
- Added summary-slot schema, idempotent migrations, shared contracts,
validators, API paths, and service tests.
- Added company-scoped summary-slot routes for reading revisions,
requesting generation, and guarded Summarizer writes with activity
logging.
- Added terminal generation finalization, failure reasons, assignment
wakeups, and orchestration integration.
- Added the paused-by-default built-in Summarizer bundle, low-cost
runtime defaults, status-summarization skill, and stale-summary routine.
- Added summary cards, revision selection, retry/configuration states,
live draft streaming, transcript chunk handling, and project/workspace
integrations.
- Updated Claude local parsing for streamed status output and expanded
server, adapter, shared, database, catalog, and UI coverage.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/db/src/summary-slots-schema.test.ts
packages/shared/src/summary-slot.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/summary-slot-routes.test.ts

ui/src/components/SummarySlotCard.status.test.tsx
ui/src/components/useSummaryDraftStream.test.tsx
ui/src/lib/summary-draft-stream.test.ts
ui/src/lib/run-log-chunks.test.ts
ui/src/context/LiveUpdatesProvider.hook.test.tsx` — 113 tests passed
- `pnpm test:run` — server and UI suites passed; one CLI AWS doctor test
was affected by inherited `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`/`AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`,
and passed when those host credentials were removed
- `pnpm exec vitest run cli/src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts` with
inherited AWS credential variables removed — 8 tests passed
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm check:token-gates` currently reports nine `#9627` comment
references introduced by current `master`; none are in this PR diff
## Risks
- Database risk is limited by incrementally ordered, idempotent
migrations and migration safety checks.
- Summary generation creates normal issues/runs, so misconfiguration can
produce failed slots; the UI exposes retryable failure reasons and agent
configuration entry points.
- Streaming draft parsing depends on the documented `STATUS:` protocol;
final persisted revisions remain the source of truth.
- The feature is experimental, opt-in, and its built-in routine is
paused with no background token spend by default.

## Model Used
- OpenAI GPT-5.3 Codex with reasoning, repository tool use, code
execution, GitHub CLI, and Paperclip control-plane integration. Earlier
branch commits also record Claude model co-authorship where applicable.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane people use to manage AI-agent
companies and their work
> - The activity log is the generic audit spine for mutations across the
control plane
> - Activity rows identify agents and runs, but they do not persist the
responsible human upstream
> - Relying only on run joins loses attribution after run pruning and
misses agent API-key actions outside a run
> - This pull request resolves responsible-user attribution when each
activity row is written and stores it directly
> - The benefit is durable, queryable agent audit feeds without
rewriting historical provenance
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Problem or motivation
Agent activity records do not persist the responsible user, so
attribution can disappear when runs are pruned and no-run API-key
mutations cannot be attributed correctly.
### Proposed solution
Resolve attribution for each new activity row from the run, related
issue, active agent API key, or company default, in that order, and
persist the result directly.
### Alternatives considered
Read-time joins alone were rejected because pruned runs lose durable
attribution and out-of-run agent-key actions have no run to join.
Historical backfill was rejected because it would invent provenance.
### Roadmap alignment
This strengthens the durable audit-trail direction described in
`ROADMAP.md` without adding a new product surface.
## What Changed
- Added nullable `activity_log.responsible_user_id` plus
company/agent/time and company/responsible-user/time indexes.
- Added an idempotent forward-only migration with no historical
backfill.
- Added centralized write-time resolution: heartbeat run → issue
attribution → active agent API key → company default.
- Propagated authenticated API-key IDs through existing request-backed
`logActivity()` calls.
- Added unit coverage for every fallback and an embedded-Postgres
assertion for the no-run API-key stamping path.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/activity-log-responsible-user.test.ts
src/__tests__/authz-company-access.test.ts`
- Initial focused verification: 25 tests passed; migration safety
passed.
- Follow-up regression verification: 54 focused
attribution/company-skill/environment/issue-tree/tool-gateway tests
passed; server typecheck passed.
- GitHub: full build, typecheck, server shards, serialized suites, e2e,
security, and policy checks passed.
## Risks
- Adding two indexes to an existing large table can hold a write lock
while the transactional migration runs. The migration safety
suppressions document why `CONCURRENTLY` is unavailable under the
current Drizzle migration runner.
- Historical rows remain nullable by design; this avoids inventing
provenance and keeps the migration forward-only.
- API-key attribution requires request-backed activity call sites to
pass the authenticated key ID; this PR mechanically updates the existing
actor-based activity calls and covers the no-run path with integration
testing.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to coordinate
AI-agent companies
> - Agents, routines, productivity review, and recovery services can all
create or re-trigger work
> - Repeated heartbeats or catch-up cycles can produce duplicate tasks
or repeat recovery actions before prior work is visible
> - The base duplicate-create and routine catch-up coalescing work has
now landed on `master` via related PRs while this PR was being prepared
> - This pull request carries the remaining hardening: bounded
idempotency retention, recovery cooldown/throttle fixes,
productivity-review query batching and ordering fixes, and regression
coverage
> - The benefit is fewer duplicate tasks, safer retries, and enough
provenance to diagnose any future recurrence
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Agents can retry issue creation after ambiguous responses or
independently recreate the same child title, while recovery and
short-interval routine catch-up paths can repeat before prior work
settles. This can produce visible duplicate tasks and makes the
originating heartbeat difficult to identify.
Related work: Refs #8356 for caller-supplied issue-create idempotency
and Refs #9224 for plugin-scoped issue-create idempotency. Prior related
PR: #6936. The base issue-create deduplication and routine catch-up
coalescing pieces have since landed on `master` via #9650 and #9649;
this PR remains as the follow-up hardening stack on top of those
changes.
## What Changed
- Add 7-day retention for issue-create idempotency claims with indexed,
batch-limited cleanup so the claim table does not grow forever.
- Preserve recovery cooldown intent after terminal recovery actions are
closed, and throttle repeated source-scoped recovery work.
- Batch productivity-review source-activity checks to avoid repeated
per-source queries while keeping the no-action suppression behavior.
- Order productivity-review no-action streak windows by review creation
time, matching the window semantics even when completion timestamps are
out of order.
- Preserve generated issue IDs in route mocks used by backlog/assignment
contract tests.
- Document PR-gardening task deduplication expectations in the company
skill.
- Add focused regression tests for idempotency retention, liveness
recovery cooldowns, and productivity-review
batching/suppression/ordering behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed on latest head.
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/productivity-review-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-create-deduplication-routes.test.ts
--reporter verbose` — 2 files, 23 tests passed on latest head.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils build && pnpm exec vitest
run --project @paperclipai/adapter-utils --reporter dot` — 30 files
passed, 476 tests passed, 8 skipped.
- `pnpm build` — passed on latest head.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed on the rebased head before the final
productivity-review ordering commit; the latest touched server code is
covered by the server typecheck above.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed.
- `pnpm test:run` — progressed through server, UI, CLI, shared,
skills-catalog, and DB sections, then exposed an adapter-utils
compiled-test fingerprint mismatch before rebuilding adapter-utils; the
adapter-utils project passed after rebuild, and the GitHub split PR
checks passed on the pushed head.
## Risks
- Caller-supplied idempotency replay is now bounded to 7 days; reusing
an old key after retention can create new work, which matches
retry-oriented idempotency semantics.
- Recovery and productivity-review timing changes may suppress redundant
follow-up work; focused tests cover the intended boundaries.
- Advisory locking and idempotency cleanup rely on PostgreSQL-compatible
transaction semantics already used by the production data layer.
- The migration extends the private claim table indexes without
rewriting existing issue rows.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies and their work
> - The inbox is a per-user attention view, so archiving an item must
not alter the underlying issue, assignment, or status
> - Agents can help responsible users tidy resolved work only when the
action is company-scoped, reversible, policy-controlled, and fully
attributable
> - The database and authorization foundations landed in #9654 and
#9658, but the end-to-end archive routes, audit details, agent workflow
guidance, and operator UI still need to ship together
> - Separate stacked PRs #9659 and #9661 made the complete behavior
harder to review and land as one coherent capability
> - This pull request consolidates the remaining server,
shared-contract, documentation, skill, and UI work on top of current
master
> - The benefit is a single reviewable change that lets agents safely
archive responsible-user inbox items and lets users control or undo that
behavior
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Subsystem affected
Cross-cutting inbox management across shared contracts, server
authorization/routes/services, shipped agent skills, and the board UI.
### Problem or motivation
Agents may complete work whose issue remains in the responsible user's
Mine inbox. Existing board-user archive behavior does not provide the
agent-facing policy endpoints, target resolution, heartbeat-run
attribution, typed denials, conservative workflow guidance, or UI needed
for safe agent-managed cleanup.
### Proposed solution
Allow authorized agents to archive or unarchive responsible-user inbox
items under the user's open, allowlist, or disabled policy; preserve
actor/agent/run attribution in issue detail and activity records; expose
policy controls and agent archive attribution in the UI; and document
conservative cleanup rules for agents and PR gardening.
### Alternatives considered
- Reuse generic issue mutation permissions: rejected because inbox state
belongs to a target user and requires user-scoped authorization.
- Automatically archive every completed or closed item: rejected because
completion signals can still require human review or a decision.
- Keep the backend and UI as separate stacked PRs: superseded by this
consolidated PR so the complete user-visible behavior can be reviewed
and verified together.
### Related work
- Builds on merged foundations #9654 and #9658.
- Supersedes the remaining stacked changes in #9659 and #9661.
- `ROADMAP.md` has no overlapping inbox archive or inbox authorization
initiative.
## What Changed
- Added shared inbox-agent policy types and validators plus
company-scoped self-service policy routes and OpenAPI coverage.
- Enabled agent archive/unarchive mutations with responsible-user
targeting, policy enforcement, typed failures, attribution, idempotency,
and detailed activity auditing.
- Returned agent archive attribution in issue detail and documented
reversible inbox cleanup semantics in the implementation spec and
Paperclip skill.
- Added conservative PR-gardening inbox tidy guidance that keeps GitHub
access read-only and avoids archiving work that still needs human
action.
- Added the Profile settings policy control and Issue Properties
attribution/unarchive UI with focused component coverage and narrow-pane
handling.
## Verification

server/src/__tests__/authorization-service.test.ts

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.

- `pnpm check:token-gates` — changed files are clean; the
repository-wide command currently reports nine unrelated pre-existing
`#9627` literals outside this PR's diff.
## Risks
- Agent inbox mutations broaden an existing endpoint path, so
authorization and target resolution must remain fail-closed; focused
route and authorization tests cover allowed and denied paths.
- Archive state affects only the responsible user's inbox presentation
and remains reversible; it does not mutate issue status, assignment, or
visibility.
- The UI policy defaults to the existing open behavior, while allowlist
and disabled modes can reduce agent access.
- This PR intentionally builds on #9654 and #9658 and contains no new
migration number or modification to an already-applied migration.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to organize
and govern AI-agent companies
> - Company skills are durable resources that users browse, import,
assign, and maintain over time
> - A flat skill list plus tags does not provide a stable location or
hierarchy for personal, company, project-imported, and bundled skills
> - Folder paths need to be canonical, company-scoped, safe to move, and
preserved across re-imports without changing skill IDs
> - The `/skills` UI also needs traversal, breadcrumbs, move/create
flows, and a dedicated My Skills namespace that work on desktop and
mobile
> - This pull request adds the folder data model and APIs, reserved-root
lifecycle, project import behavior, and the folder-first skills
experience
> - The benefit is a predictable filesystem-like organization model
while tags remain available for cross-cutting classification
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #9619 — the reviewed folder foundation was intentionally closed and
folded into this combined feature PR.
Refs #9026 — earlier flat-folder attempt superseded by this integrated
implementation.
Refs #3281 — related skill organization proposal; this PR uses canonical
persisted folders rather than deriving groups from skill keys, and does
not add hidden-skill behavior.
**Feature request**
- **Problem:** Skills currently lack a canonical hierarchical location,
making personal skills, project imports, bundled skills, and
company-authored skills difficult to traverse and manage at scale.
- **Proposed behavior:** Add nested company-scoped folders with stable
paths, reserved My/Projects/Bundled roots, subtree queries, safe
move/create operations, and a folder-first `/skills` library UI.
- **Import behavior:** New project scans file skills under
`projects/<project-slug>`; later imports update content without
overriding a user-selected folder.
- **Alternatives considered:** Tags alone remain useful for
cross-cutting classification, but they do not provide canonical
location, nesting, reserved namespaces, or stable import placement.
- **Roadmap alignment:** Extends the completed Skills Manager and
Scheduled Routines capabilities without duplicating an active roadmap
item.
## What Changed
- Adds `folders` persistence for routine and skill folders, nested
canonical paths, parent/slug/system-key fields, migration backfills, and
reapply-safe migrations `0174`–`0175` after current master migrations.
- Adds company-scoped folder CRUD, cycle/depth/namespace validation,
reserved My/Projects/Bundled lifecycle, item moves, subtree filtering,
and folder paths on skill results.
- Preserves project-import placement: first import files into the
project folder, while re-import keeps user-owned placement and stable
skill IDs.
- Adds the `/skills` folder tree rail, tags facet, breadcrumbs,
subfolder browser, move/new-folder dialog, canonical detail location,
inline tag editing, and folder-aware Studio creation.
- Keeps bundled skills read-only even when their source metadata is
incomplete by detecting the reserved Bundled folder and hiding
selection/move actions.
- Extends routine folder UI and OpenAPI coverage, and adds regression
tests across migrations, services, routes, tree helpers, pages, and
Studio creation.
## Verification

— 13 files, 192 tests passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/pages/CompanySkills.test.tsx
ui/src/components/folders/SkillFolderTree.test.tsx` — 2 files, 20 tests
passed after preserving the existing PR's bundled-skill fixes.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed for all workspace packages.
- `pnpm test:run` — passed in an isolated CI-like environment with
inherited Paperclip runtime identity and static AWS credential variables
removed.
- `pnpm build` — production build passed for all workspace packages.
- Greptile iteration 2 — 5/5 confidence with zero unresolved threads on
commit `ff2d67aa71`.
- Latest-head GitHub checks — all success, neutral, or skipped; PR is
mergeable with a clean merge state.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — reports nine existing `#9627` comment false
positives already present on `master`; this PR introduces no new token
violation.
## Risks
- **Migration/backfill:** `0174` creates the foundation and `0175` adds
nested/reserved semantics. Both are ordered after current master
migration `0173`, are covered by numbering/safety checks, and are
designed to be reapply-safe.
- **Reserved namespaces:** My, Projects, and Bundled roots are
service-managed. Regression coverage prevents namespace squatting,
cross-company folder use, bundled writes, cycles, and excessive depth.
- **Behavioral change:** Project scans choose a project folder only on
initial creation; existing skills deliberately retain their current
folder during refresh.
- **UI scope:** The folder rail applies to the Installed library;
Catalog retains the discovery-oriented category sidebar.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is an open-source platform for orchestrating AI agents,
built on an embedded-Postgres server running a heartbeat loop to advance
agent work.
> - The server test suite exercises heartbeat liveness escalation and
retry scheduling logic against a real embedded database; tests create
and tear down full database state across every case.
> - Dependabot PR #9480 bumps `tsx` from 4.22.4 to 4.23.1. The new
version exposed two fragile teardown patterns in the heartbeat tests
that caused failures.
> - The first problem: `TRUNCATE TABLE "companies" CASCADE` in the
liveness-escalation teardown clashes with FK constraints when child
tables (e.g. `heartbeat_run_events`, `issue_tree_hold_members`) hold
rows that tsx 4.23.1's changed execution order materialises before the
CASCADE runs.
> - The second problem: the retry-scheduling test duplicated a 10-line
delete block inline at two mid-test reset points; one copy deleted
`heartbeat_run_events` after `heartbeat_runs` (wrong FK order) and
`activityLog` was deleted twice.
> - A third concern was identified during review: several `GET
/tool-connections/:connectionId` routes called `assertCompanyAccess`
before checking whether the actor has access at all, leaking 403
(existence oracle) instead of 404. This is fixed in this PR.
> - This PR updates the three `tsx` version pins to `^4.23.1`, replaces
the TRUNCATE with explicit child-to-parent deletes, centralises the
retry cleanup into a shared `cleanupRetryFixture()` helper, and adds
`hasCompanyAccess` pre-checks before the four affected
`assertCompanyAccess` calls in `tool-access.ts`.
> - The benefit is CI green on tsx 4.23.1, cleaner non-duplicated
teardown code across both test files, and no cross-tenant existence
leakage on tool-connection routes.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #9480 (`tsx` 4.22.4 → 4.23.1 dependabot bump whose CI failures this
fixes)
## What Changed
- **cli/package.json**, **packages/db/package.json**,
**server/package.json**: bump `tsx` dev-dependency range from `^4.22.4`
to `^4.23.1` so package manifests agree with the lockfile update landing
in #9480. `pnpm-lock.yaml` is left untouched — GitHub Actions owns
lockfile regeneration.
- **heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation.test.ts**: replace `TRUNCATE
TABLE "companies" CASCADE` with explicit FK-ordered deletes. The new
chain adds `heartbeatRunEvents`, `issueTreeHoldMembers`,
`agentRuntimeState`, and `companySkills` before their respective parent
tables.
- **heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts**: extract the repeated teardown
block into a `cleanupRetryFixture()` helper; call it from `afterEach`
and the two mid-test resets; fix `heartbeatRunEvents` deleted before
`heartbeatRuns` (parent-child FK order); remove the duplicate
`activityLog` delete.
- **server/src/routes/tool-access.ts**: add `hasCompanyAccess`
pre-checks before `assertCompanyAccess` on four `GET
/tool-connections/:connectionId` and `GET
/tool-profiles/:profileId/new-tools` routes. Returns 404 instead of 403
when the actor cannot access the resource, closing the cross-tenant
existence oracle.
## Verification
```sh
# Focused test run (49 tests, all pass)
pnpm exec vitest run \
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts \
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation.test.ts
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck # pass
pnpm -r typecheck # pass
pnpm build # pass
```
Full `pnpm test:run` was also attempted: server suite (242 files, 2 243
tests) and UI suite (310 files, 2 536 tests) both passed. A backup-dir
assertion in `src/__tests__/onboard.test.ts` failed but is unrelated to
this diff — it expects a temp `PAPERCLIP_HOME` but receives the global
instance path.
## Risks
Low risk. Changes are limited to test teardown logic, dev-dependency
version pins, and existence-oracle guard additions on read-only
tool-connection routes. No new business logic or production data paths
are introduced.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The control plane records a successful-run handoff when productive
work ends without a durable next-step disposition
> - That handoff state was derived only from the latest activity event,
without checking whether a corrective run or wake was currently alive
> - As a result, actively progressing issues could still show a
high-severity missing-disposition alarm and blocked-inbox row
> - The same stale required event could also remain indefinitely when a
later successful run correctly skipped recovery because another valid
continuation path already existed
> - This pull request makes the derived state liveness-aware, suppresses
attention only while the live path exists, and resolves stale required
events on valid-path skips
> - The benefit is that productive work stays calm while genuine stalls
still resurface automatically when liveness disappears
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- **Bug:** An issue whose latest successful-run handoff event is
`required` continues to report a missing disposition even while a
heartbeat run, scheduled retry, or queued/deferred/claimed wake is
actively targeting that issue.
- **Expected behavior:** The API should expose current continuation
liveness, the blocked inbox should suppress the alarm only while that
path remains live, and a later successful run that skips recovery
because a valid path exists should durably resolve the stale event.
- **Related but distinct:** #9370 changes disposition freshness at
detection time; #8748 adds an explicit policy opt-out. This PR preserves
detection/escalation policy and fixes read-time/current-liveness state.
## What Changed
- Extended `SuccessfulRunHandoffState` with `hasLiveContinuation` and
optional `liveRunId` evidence.
- Added bounded liveness hydration for required handoff states using
active heartbeat-run and wake-request signals.
- Suppressed `missing_disposition` blocked-inbox rows only while a run,
scheduled retry, or live wake targets the issue.
- Added durable `issue.successful_run_handoff_resolved` logging when
handoff detection skips because another valid continuation path owns the
next action.
- Added focused regressions for live/absent derived state, self-healing
attention suppression, valid-path skip classification, and
resolved-event logging.
- Updated UI normalization and fixtures for the shared contract without
changing rendering behavior.
## Verification

server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts -t "queues one
finish-handoff wake when a successful run leaves in-progress work
without a next action"` — 1 passed
- `git diff --check`
## Risks
- Low risk: no schema or migration changes, and detection, bounded
correction attempts, and escalation behavior are unchanged.
- Liveness lookups are limited to issues whose latest handoff state is
`required`; blocked-inbox suppression reuses rows already loaded by that
query path.
- Suppression is read-time and self-healing: when the run or wake stops,
the alarm returns on the next fetch.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies and their work
> - The inbox subsystem must let agents act for a responsible user
without silently granting access to every company user's tasks
> - Existing authorization had no inbox-specific action, target-user
scope, or per-user agent policy
> - Inbox archive data also needs company-safe ownership and replay-safe
schema changes before API mutations can rely on it
> - This pull request adds the database policy foundation and a
fail-closed `inbox:manage` authorization decision
> - The benefit is a least-privilege core for later inbox archive
endpoints, including explicit cross-user grants and low-trust denial
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Subsystem affected
Cross-cutting (`packages/db`, `packages/shared`, and `server`).
### Problem or motivation
Agents need to manage inbox state for the user responsible for their
run, but the control plane lacks an inbox-specific permission model and
user-targeted grant scope. A generic mutation path would risk cross-user
access or inconsistent policy enforcement.
### Proposed solution
Add inbox archive ownership and per-user agent policies, introduce
`inbox:manage`, and evaluate responsible-user defaults,
disabled/allowlist policies, active membership, low-trust presets, and
scoped cross-user grants in one authorization decision.
### Alternatives considered
Reusing generic issue mutation permissions was rejected because it
cannot express user-targeted inbox scope. Requiring grants for all
self-user access was rejected because it would make the responsible-user
path closed by default instead of using the requested per-user policy
model.
### Roadmap alignment
`ROADMAP.md` contains no overlapping inbox archive or inbox
authorization item; this is incremental control-plane authorization
work.
### Additional context
This PR provides the authorization and schema foundation. Route and UI
behavior can build on this decision without duplicating access-control
rules.
## What Changed
- Builds on the merged migration `0172_inbox_archive_agent_policies`
(#9654) for company/user-scoped inbox archives and per-user agent policy
rows.
- Added replay-safe migration `0173_inbox_policy_agent_cleanup` with a
GIN allowlist index and GIN-backed database cleanup that removes deleted
agent IDs from policy allowlists.
- Added Drizzle schema exports for inbox agent policies and
responsible-user ownership on inbox archives.
- Added the shared `inbox:manage` permission key and `scope.userIds`
evaluation for user-targeted grants.
- Added fail-closed inbox authorization for unresolved targets, inactive
memberships, low-trust agents, disabled policies, allowlist misses, and
ungranted cross-user access.
- Added migration replay coverage and the full inbox authorization
decision matrix.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/db/src/inbox-archive-agent-policies-migration.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/authorization-service.test.ts` — 50 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD`
## Risks
- The merged `0172` migration changed inbox archive uniqueness from
agent-owned to responsible-user-owned rows; `0173` is additive (index +
cleanup trigger) and idempotent, and replay coverage verifies both
remain safe for databases that already applied an earlier form.
- `scope.userIds` uses the existing JSON grant-scope parser, so
malformed privileged grant payloads continue to fail through the shared
parsing behavior rather than a dedicated schema.
- Cross-user grants intentionally act as board-admin overrides;
responsible-user default access remains bounded by disabled and
allowlist policies.
- The authorization action is not yet wired to public mutation routes,
limiting immediate behavioral impact while establishing the contract
those routes must use.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies and keep assigned work moving safely.
> - The recovery subsystem decides whether a failed agent run should
retry, wait, block for configuration, or escalate to another owner.
> - Provider usage-limit failures currently arrive as generic
`adapter_failed` results, so stranded-work reconciliation can create
takeover recovery even when the provider states that capacity will reset
later.
> - Credential and model lookup failures are also configuration
problems, not evidence that another agent should take over the task.
> - This pull request classifies those failure families at recovery time
and persists the classification on the run.
> - Quota failures now schedule a monitor for the original assignee at
the parsed reset time, or after a bounded default backoff when no reset
time is available.
> - The benefit is that transient provider capacity waits no longer wake
recovery owners, while configuration failures stop with an actionable
classification.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this exact change.
**What happened?** When an assigned issue's latest run failed with a
provider usage-limit message such as "try again at 12:00 AM (UTC),"
recovery treated the run as generic `adapter_failed` work and could
create a takeover action. Missing credentials and `model_not_found`
failures followed the same generic path.
**Expected behavior:** Provider quota failures should keep the original
assignee and schedule a monitor for the reset time, without creating
recovery work or immediately waking another owner. Missing credentials
and model lookup failures should be classified as
`configuration_incomplete` and blocked with the configuration fix
recorded.
**Steps to reproduce:**
1. Assign and start an issue for an agent.
2. Record a failed heartbeat run with `errorCode: adapter_failed` and a
provider quota/reset message.
3. Run stranded assigned-issue reconciliation.
4. Observe that the old behavior routes the issue through generic
recovery instead of waiting for provider capacity.
Reproduced on `master` at `9af96461d`. This is a core recovery bug, not
adapter-specific, and applies to built-from-source deployments with
either embedded PGlite or Postgres.
Related work checked: #9288 adds adapter-side Claude provider-limit
classification; #5392 suppresses some recovery creation for quota-class
errors; #9634 is a broader recovery-routing change with overlapping
provider-quota behavior. This PR is the narrow recovery-service fix with
focused parsed-reset, fallback-backoff, zero-takeover, and
configuration-failure coverage.
## What Changed
- Added conservative recovery-time classification for provider quota,
missing-credential, and model-not-found adapter failures.
- Parsed provider reset timestamps with a default one-hour backoff when
no usable reset time is present.
- Persisted `provider_quota` or `configuration_incomplete` metadata on
the failed heartbeat run.
- Scheduled quota monitors for the active issue owner, including the
current review participant, without creating recovery actions or
enqueueing takeover wakes.
- Routed configuration failures to blocked recovery with actionable
evidence instead of a takeover.
- Added unit and embedded-database regression coverage for
parsed/fallback quota timing, zero CTO/recovery wake behavior, and
configuration classification.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/recovery/provider-failure-classification.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-recovery-actions.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-monitor-scheduler.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-stale-queue-invalidation.test.ts` — 4
files passed, 66 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
## Risks
- Recovery behavior changes for text-matched adapter failures; matching
is intentionally conservative, and unmatched failures retain the
existing generic recovery path.
- Provider reset strings do not always include a date or timezone;
parsing chooses the next future matching time and falls back to a
one-hour wait when the timestamp is unusable.
- This overlaps the provider-quota portion of broader recovery-routing
PR #9634, so only one implementation should land if both remain open.
- No schema, migration, API contract, or UI changes are included. No
documentation update is needed because this corrects internal recovery
behavior without changing operator commands or configuration.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to coordinate
AI-agent companies.
> - Its recovery services create productivity reviews and liveness
escalations when work stops making progress.
> - Existing uniqueness guards prevent concurrent duplicates, but
terminal recovery tasks can still be recreated serially without enough
time for conditions to change.
> - That creates noisy review churn for persistently stalled issues and
immediate liveness re-escalation after a recovery task closes.
> - This pull request adds bounded, configurable cooldown and no-action
suppression behavior to those two recovery paths.
> - The benefit is quieter recovery automation that still resumes
automatically after source activity or cooldown expiry.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Pre-submission checklist
- [x] I have searched existing open and closed issues and this is not a
duplicate.
- [x] I can reproduce this behavior on `master`.
- [x] I have confirmed the behavior originates in Paperclip core
recovery orchestration, not an adapter, provider, or local
configuration.
### What happened?
Recovery reconciliation can serially recreate equivalent system-origin
tasks after previous tasks become terminal. Productivity reviews allowed
multiple creations for the same source issue within a rolling day, and a
closed liveness escalation could be recreated immediately for the same
incident or recovery leaf.
### Expected behavior
Productivity review creation should be limited to once per rolling 24
hours, repeated completed reviews that produced no source action should
eventually suppress further creation until activity resumes, and
recently terminal liveness escalations should receive a short cooldown
before recreation.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Create a stalled assigned issue that meets productivity-review
eligibility.
2. Complete repeated productivity-review tasks without adding
source-issue activity, then reconcile again within 24 hours.
3. Create and close a liveness escalation for a blocked issue graph,
then immediately reconcile the same graph.
4. Observe that equivalent system tasks can be recreated serially
without a meaningful state change.
### Paperclip version or commit
`5588ddf68175eea448f9d19677b97d7393c38c3d` (`master` when reproduced)
### Deployment mode
Local dev (`pnpm dev`)
### Installation method
Built from source (`pnpm dev` / `pnpm build`)
### Agent adapter(s) involved
- [x] Not adapter-specific (core bug)
### Database mode
Embedded PGlite (default — `DATABASE_URL` unset)
### Access context
Unclear / not applicable
### Node.js version
Current repository-supported Node.js runtime.
### Operating system
Linux development environment.
### Relevant logs or output
No error is emitted; the bug is repeated task creation visible in
persisted issue history.
### Relevant config (if applicable)
No special configuration is required.
### Additional context
The concurrent/open-task uniqueness guards work as designed; this change
targets serial repeats after matching tasks become terminal.
### Privacy checklist
- [x] I have reviewed all pasted output for PII and redacted where
necessary.
## What Changed
- Tightened the productivity-review creation cap to one review per
source issue in a rolling 24-hour window.
- Added configurable suppression after three consecutive completed
reviews with no source-issue activity, with automatic reset when source
activity occurs.
- Added a configurable one-hour default cooldown for matching terminal
liveness escalations.
- Exposed the liveness reconciliation clock/cooldown inputs for
deterministic orchestration tests.
- Added focused tests for daily enforcement, no-action suppression and
reset, and cooldown expiry.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/productivity-review-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation.test.ts` — 36
tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- Confirm the focused tests demonstrate creation after source activity
and after the liveness cooldown expires.
## Risks
- Low-to-moderate behavioral risk: recovery tasks intentionally appear
less often, so overly aggressive thresholds could delay intervention for
a persistently stalled issue.
- Thresholds are configurable through reconciliation inputs, and source
activity resets productivity-review suppression.
- No database migration, public API change, telemetry contract change,
or UI behavior change.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage AI
agents and their work
> - The server coordinates agent heartbeats and preserves eligible live
runs during a hot restart
> - Shutdown previously waited for all heartbeat scheduler work before
capturing the hot-restart snapshot
> - A deployment heartbeat can itself be in that scheduler set while
waiting for the restart, creating a circular wait
> - The missing snapshot prevents startup from classifying and adopting
the still-running agent process
> - This pull request captures the snapshot first and skips
scheduler/drain waits only for an eligible hot restart
> - The benefit is a single SIGTERM can restart the server without
losing eligible live agent runs
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- **Preflight:** Searched open and closed PRs for the hot-restart
shutdown deadlock; no duplicate found. Reproduced on `master` and
confirmed this is core Paperclip behavior.
- **What happened:** During a hot restart initiated by a running
deployment heartbeat, the SIGTERM handler waited for
`heartbeatSchedulerInFlight` before calling
`prepareHotRestartShutdown()`. The heartbeat was itself in that set and
waited for restart completion, so shutdown never wrote the adoption
snapshot.
- **Expected behavior:** An eligible hot restart captures its snapshot
before waiting for scheduler work, preserves live child processes, and
exits after one SIGTERM.
- **Steps to reproduce:**
1. Start a heartbeat that remains active while requesting a hot restart.
2. Send SIGTERM to the server process.
3. Observe shutdown waiting on the active scheduler task and startup
finding an intent without a shutdown snapshot.
- **Paperclip commit:** `992389480a243b97bda214227e0767eb8c3672af`
- **Deployment/install:** Self-hosted server built from source.
- **Adapter:** Not adapter-specific; reproduced with a Codex heartbeat.
- **Database/access:** Embedded PGlite; agent bearer context.
- **Environment:** Node `v22.22.2` on `Linux 6.17.0-1015-aws aarch64
GNU/Linux`.
- **Privacy:** No secrets, private logs, user paths, or internal issue
references are included.
## What Changed
- Add a focused shutdown coordinator that prepares hot-restart state
before waiting for heartbeat scheduler idleness.
- Skip scheduler-idle and graceful-drain waits only when the hot-restart
service returns `skipDrain: true`.
- Preserve normal graceful shutdown behavior when no eligible intent
exists or preparation fails.
- Add regression coverage for pending scheduler work, normal shutdown,
and preparation failure.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/shutdown.test.ts` — 3 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts -t
'hot-restart'` — 3 passed, 88 skipped.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed.
## Risks
- Low-to-moderate risk: shutdown ordering changes, but only the
explicitly eligible hot-restart path bypasses scheduler-idle and
run-drain waits.
- Normal shutdown and hot-restart preparation failures retain the
existing graceful behavior.
> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. This is a focused bug fix
and does not duplicate planned roadmap work.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex coding agent; exact runtime model ID and context-window
size are not exposed to the agent. Tool use, shell execution, repository
editing, and test execution were enabled.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The local heartbeat/runtime subsystem starts long-running local
agent processes and records their run state.
> - Operators sometimes need to rebuild and restart the Paperclip server
while local agent processes are still alive.
> - A normal restart should remain conservative, but a guarded
production hot restart needs an explicit marker, startup reconciliation,
and an inspectable report.
> - The broader hot-restart PR is currently merge-conflicted, so this
pull request lands the minimal server-side recovery path on current
`master`.
> - The benefit is that deploy operators can restart from a current
branch without reverting production changes and without marking adopted
live runs as `process_lost`.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this deploy-safety fix.
Bug fix:
- What happened: the current deployable `master` branch did not include
the hot-restart marker CLI, startup adoption report path, or health
version proof needed by guarded service restarts.
- Expected behavior: a deploy operator can write a one-shot marker
before restarting, the old server snapshots eligible running child
processes, the new server reports adopted/finalized/lost runs, and
adopted live runs are not reaped as `process_lost`.
- Steps to reproduce: restart a server with running local child-process
heartbeat runs without the marker/adoption path; startup orphan reaping
has no adoption metadata and treats live detached children as lost.
- Paperclip version/commit: fixed on top of `master` at `b606869a6`.
- Deployment mode: production/local-service style deployments that
rebuild and restart the primary `paperclip.service`.
- Related PR: Refs #9628. This PR intentionally lands a smaller
deploy-safe subset because #9628 is currently merge-conflicted.
- Duplicate search: searched public PRs/issues for `hot restart` and
`process_lost adoption`; #9628 is the directly related prior
implementation.
## What Changed
- Added `scripts/request-hot-restart.ts` to write a one-shot hot-restart
intent marker under `PAPERCLIP_HOME`.
- Added `server/src/services/hot-restart.ts` for intent/report path
resolution, parsing, atomic writes, shutdown snapshots, and marker
cleanup.
- Wired server shutdown/startup so explicit hot restarts snapshot active
runs, skip the normal heartbeat drain, reconcile live child processes on
boot, and write `hot-restart-report.json`.
- Preserved adopted run metadata so normal orphan reaping does not
regress adopted live runs to `process_lost`.
- Added `serverVersion` health proof alongside existing `version`, plus
docs and regression coverage.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/health.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` — 2 files
passed, 100 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `env PAPERCLIP_HOME="$PAPERCLIP_RUN_SCRATCH_DIR/hot-restart-cli-smoke"
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx
../scripts/request-hot-restart.ts --server-pid 12345`
- Branch ancestry checked after `git fetch origin master`:
`origin/master` was `b606869a6`, and `HEAD..origin/master` was empty.
## Risks
- Medium risk: process adoption depends on PID/PGID metadata and the
service manager leaving child processes alive for the guarded restart.
- Normal restarts remain conservative, but an incorrect marker PID
intentionally falls back to graceful drain instead of adoption.
- The PR is server-only and does not include the broader
UI/experimental-setting work from #9628.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Heartbeat recovery keeps assigned issues moving when a run or
continuation path disappears
> - Accepted issue-thread interactions can create a continuation wake
after an agent previously parked for review
> - The recovery sweep could requeue that accepted-interaction wake
while the queued-run gate cancelled it using the older pre-acceptance
park summary
> - That cancellation path had no bound, so recovery could repeat the
same wake and cancellation indefinitely
> - This pull request makes accepted-interaction evidence supersede the
older park and caps repeated recovery cancellations at three attempts
> - The benefit is that accepted work resumes normally, while genuine
repeated failures become a visible dependency wait or escalation instead
of a cancel loop
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #9331
The accepted-interaction continuation recovery added by #9331 can
encounter a stale continuation summary written before approval. The
sweep requeues a continuation carrying the accepted interaction
timestamp, but queued-run invalidation cancels it because the older
summary says to wait for review. Recovery then sees the accepted
interaction without a successful run and requeues again. This PR
prevents that stale-summary cancellation and adds a bounded fallback if
three equivalent cancellations have already occurred.
## What Changed
- Let queued continuation wakes with a parseable `interactionResolvedAt`
bypass a pre-acceptance waiting-for-review park summary.
- Count consecutive unsuccessful continuation runs for the same issue
and agent since interaction acceptance; after three review-park
cancellations, convert a real dependency wait or use the existing
visible escalation path.
- Add focused regression coverage for the park bypass, unchanged
non-interaction park behavior, below-cap requeue, cap escalation, and
successful-run skip.
- Document the accepted-interaction precedence and bounded requeue
contract in execution semantics §9.2.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts -t "accepted
interaction continuation recovery|accepted interaction recovery after
its continuation succeeds|requeues accepted interaction continuations
stranded"`
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-stale-queue-invalidation.test.ts -t
"pre-acceptance review park|continuation summary parks executor work"`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
## Risks
- Low risk: the park bypass only applies when the queued context
contains a parseable interaction resolution timestamp.
- The retry bound is scoped to unsuccessful `issue_continuation_needed`
runs for the same company, issue, agent, error code, and post-acceptance
time window.
- No schema, migration, API, or UI changes.

## Thinking Path

work

run with no disposition, an over-eager inactivity kill), the harness
opens a *recovery action* and wakes an owner to recover it

a ~1.2% monthly norm, 5–8x the prior volume — and nobody noticed until
it was ~194 actions deep, because there was no way to *see* the recovery
rate
> - We also could not see which causes drive recovery, nor how often a
manager ends up doing the deliverable work themselves instead of handing
it back to the original owner (the product goal is that managers doing
the work stays rare)
> - This pull request adds a recovery-observability report + API
endpoint: weekly rate normalized per run, a threshold alert, the cause
taxonomy live from the ledger, and the handed-back vs owner-completed
ratio and per-cause routing outcomes
> - The benefit is that a recovery regression like that week is caught
by a threshold instead of by a human noticing it by feel, and each
recovery playbook row can be verified in production
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Feature.**
**Problem or motivation**
Recovery takeovers are a first-class exception path
(`issue_recovery_actions`), but there is no aggregate view of them. A
week where the recovery rate tripled went unnoticed until it was deep.
There is no signal for (a) the per-run recovery rate over time, (b)
which cause + run error code drives it, or (c) whether the recovery
owner hands the task back to the original assignee or ends up doing the
deliverable work themselves.
**Proposed solution**
A read-only report service and `GET
/companies/:companyId/recovery-observability` endpoint that surfaces the
weekly rate, a threshold alert, the cause taxonomy, the hand-back ratio,
and per-cause routing outcomes.
**Alternatives considered**
Adding `handed_back` / `owner_completed` to the recovery-action outcome
vocabulary and writing them at resolution time. Rejected for this
change: the distinction is derivable from the recovery owner, the
recorded return owner, and where the source issue actually landed, so
the report works against all historical data without a backfill.
**Roadmap alignment**
Implements the recovery-observability line of the approved
recovery-takeover plan (make regressions visible via a threshold rather
than by human feel); no schema or write-path change.
## What Changed
- Add `server/src/services/recovery-observability.ts`:
- `recoveryObservabilityService(db).report(companyId, { weeks,
thresholdPercent, now })` returns weekly rates (recovery actions / runs,
Monday-anchored to match the retrospective), a `cause` +
`latestRunErrorCode` breakdown, a handed-back vs owner-completed
summary, and per-cause routing outcomes.
- `evaluateRecoveryRateAlert(weekly, thresholdPercent)` — a pure
function (default threshold 2% of runs) returning the breached weeks and
whether the latest week regressed.
- `classifyRecoveryHandoff(...)` — a pure classifier deriving
`self_recovery` / `handed_back` / `owner_completed` from the recovery
owner, return owner, and final issue landing.
- Add `GET /companies/:companyId/recovery-observability` (optional
`weeks` and `threshold` query params) to the existing dashboard router.
- The `weeks` window is bounded (`MAX_WINDOW_WEEKS = 104`,
service-authoritative and re-clamped at the route) so a large query
value can't over-allocate the per-week array.
- Add tests: unit coverage for the alert and the classifier, plus an
embedded-Postgres integration test that seeds synthetic runs and
recovery actions crossing 2% and asserts the alert fires and the
hand-back ratio is computed.
## Verification
- `CI=1 NODE_ENV=development npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/recovery-observability.test.ts` — 10/10 pass
(includes the synthetic 2%-crossing alert case and the hand-back ratio
case).
- Rendered against a live database of 300+ recovery actions: the weekly
rates reproduce the retrospective (e.g. 1.37% / 1.53% / 0.65% / 0.86% /
1.37% for early-June weeks), the alert fires on the two most recent
weeks (3.15% and 3.05%, both over 2%), and the hand-back summary shows
owner-completed ≈ 73% vs handed-back ≈ 27% — matching the observed
"managers keep ~80% of takeovers".
## Risks
- Low risk. Read-only: adds one GET endpoint and a service; no schema,
migration, or write-path changes. The hand-back classification reads the
source issue's current assignee/status, so a much-later reassignment
could reclassify a historical action — acceptable for an aggregate trend
view.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to run
AI-agent companies.
> - Scheduled routines support catch-up policies when the server resumes
after missed cron ticks.
> - The existing capped replay policy dispatched once per missed tick,
which can flood the board after downtime for frequent schedules.
> - Sub-hourly routines usually need one prompt catch-up execution
rather than historical per-tick replay, while hourly-or-slower schedules
may rely on the existing behavior.
> - This pull request coalesces missed sub-hourly ticks into one
execution and keeps the slower-schedule behavior unchanged.
> - The benefit is bounded recovery work without changing the semantics
of lower-frequency scheduled routines.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### What happened?
When a scheduled routine using `enqueue_missed_with_cap` resumes after
several missed sub-hourly cron ticks, Paperclip dispatches one catch-up
execution for every missed tick. Those executions arrive in a
same-second burst and can flood the board with duplicate-looking work.
### Expected behavior
Sub-hourly schedules should advance past all missed ticks but dispatch
exactly one catch-up execution. Hourly-or-slower schedules should retain
capped per-tick replay.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Build Paperclip from `master` and create a routine with a sub-hourly
cron schedule and `catchUpPolicy: enqueue_missed_with_cap`.
2. Set its persisted `nextRunAt` far enough in the past to cover several
scheduled occurrences.
3. Run routine catch-up processing.
4. Observe multiple catch-up dispatches instead of one coalesced
execution.
### Paperclip version or commit
Reproduced on `master` before this PR.
### Deployment mode
Built from source in local development with embedded PGlite.
## What Changed
- Classify sub-hourly cadence from timezone-aware scheduled occurrences,
avoiding daily multi-minute false positives while supporting schedules
restricted to active days.
- Coalesce all missed sub-hourly ticks into one catch-up dispatch while
advancing `nextRunAt` to the next future occurrence.
- Preserve capped per-tick replay for hourly-or-slower schedules.
- Clarify the catch-up policy labels in both routine editing surfaces.
- Add regression coverage for both the coalesced and preserved
behaviors.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/routines-service.test.ts
--testNamePattern='coalesces multiple missed sub-hourly ticks|continues
replaying each missed hourly tick|continues replaying missed ticks for
daily schedules with multiple minute values|coalesces sub-hourly
schedules restricted to weekdays'` — 4 passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — all gates clean.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — clean.
## Risks
- Low-to-moderate behavioral risk: sub-hourly routines using
`enqueue_missed_with_cap` now intentionally receive one recovery
execution instead of one per missed tick.
- Hourly-or-slower schedules retain their previous capped replay
behavior, limiting the compatibility surface.
- No schema, migration, workflow, or lockfile changes.

## Thinking Path
> Paperclip already treats issue creation as a company-scoped mutation,
but retries and parallel agent heartbeats can submit the same create
more than once. Client instructions cannot provide at-most-once behavior
under concurrency, so the guard belongs in the server transaction. This
change adds an explicit company-scoped idempotency contract, a
conservative fallback for recent open same-parent titles, and run
attribution for auditability. Advisory transaction locks serialize
competing requests before lookup/insert, avoiding the race that affected
the prior attempt.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#6529.
This is a clean replacement for #6936, which was closed because it mixed
unrelated changes and its check-then-insert implementation was not
concurrency-safe. Unlike that attempt, this PR is scoped to eight files,
uses a dedicated idempotency-key table, and serializes duplicate
candidates inside the create transaction.
## What Changed
- Accept optional `idempotencyKey` and `allowDuplicate` fields on issue
creation.
- Replay the existing issue with HTTP 200 and deduplication metadata for
a repeated company/key pair.
- Deduplicate recent open issues with the same company, parent, and
normalized title for 48 hours unless `allowDuplicate: true` is supplied.
- Persist idempotency mappings in a company-scoped table and serialize
competing creates with transaction advisory locks.
- Populate `originRunId` from `X-Paperclip-Run-Id` for agent/manual
creates when the body does not provide an origin run.
- Add route integration coverage for key replay, title fallback, bypass,
closed/old recreation, company scoping, and run attribution.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-create-deduplication-routes.test.ts` — 7
tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` — passed, including
migration numbering and safety checks.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-assigned-backlog-contract-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-create-deduplication-routes.test.ts` — 10
tests passed after the service-contract compatibility fix.
## Risks
- The title fallback intentionally treats normalized same-parent titles
as duplicates for 48 hours; callers creating intentionally repeated
titles must send `allowDuplicate: true`.
- Advisory locks use hashed duplicate keys, so an extremely unlikely
hash collision can serialize unrelated creates but cannot merge their
lookup results.
- Deleting an issue cascades its idempotency mapping, allowing the same
key to create a replacement later.
## Model Used
- OpenAI `gpt-5.6-sol`, high reasoning effort, Codex CLI with
repository, shell, GitHub CLI, and Paperclip API tool access.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The `/pr-gardening` skill drives a bundled agent that scans a
company's issues for those linked to open GitHub PRs, then reports on
their state; it relies on the server's company-search **extract**
endpoint to pull PR references out of issue bodies
> - Two gaps surfaced during end-to-end QA of the gardening workflow:
the extract service silently ignored a per-issue match cap, so callers
could not bound how many matches came back per issue, and the skill's
candidate-discovery scripts fell over on large repos and on issues that
referenced deleted PRs
> - Left unaddressed, the gardener either truncated its scan
unpredictably or aborted outright, so it could not reliably enumerate PR
candidates
> - This pull request honors an explicit `matchesPerIssue` limit in the
extract search API and hardens the skill's candidate discovery against
missing/unavailable PRs and oversized `gh` output
> - The benefit is a PR-gardening workflow that scans deterministically
and finishes cleanly on real-world companies
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No pre-existing public GitHub issue — describing the bug in-PR following
the bug report template (`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml`).
### What happened?
The company-search extract endpoint accepted a per-issue match limit but
did not apply it, returning matches capped only by the old hardcoded
constant regardless of the caller's request. Separately, the
`/pr-gardening` skill's candidate-discovery scripts crashed when a
scanned issue referenced a deleted PR (GitHub `Not Found (HTTP 404)` /
GraphQL `Could not resolve to a PullRequest`) and could exceed the
default `gh` output buffer on large result sets, aborting the whole
scan.
### Expected behavior
The extract API bounds matches per issue when a caller passes
`matchesPerIssue` (default 20, max 200), and omitting it preserves the
previous default. The gardening scripts skip PRs that are
deleted/unavailable and tolerate large `gh` responses without aborting
the scan.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Call the company-search extract endpoint with a `matchesPerIssue`
value against an issue containing many PR references — previously the
value was ignored.
2. Run the pr-gardening candidate scan against a company whose issues
reference a since-deleted PR — previously the scan threw instead of
skipping that PR.
### Paperclip version or commit
`master` at the base of this PR (branch cut from current
`origin/master`).
### Deployment mode
Local Paperclip instance / self-hosted.
## What Changed
- **Extract search honors `matchesPerIssue`**: added the
`matchesPerIssue` field to the shared search validator/types and applied
the cap in `company-search-extract` so results are bounded per issue
(`packages/shared`, `server/src/services/company-search-extract.ts`,
`doc/SPEC-implementation.md`).
- **Hardened pr-gardening candidate discovery**: `find-candidates.mjs` /
`lib.mjs` now request `matchesPerIssue=200`, treat missing/unavailable
PRs (deleted PR → `isMissingPullRequestError` / `unavailable`) as skips
instead of fatal errors, and raise the `gh` `maxBuffer` to 50 MB for
large repos.
- **Tests**: expanded `company-search-extract-{routes,service}.test.ts`
for the new limit and added coverage in `pr-gardening.test.mjs`.
## Verification
Re-run on a fresh worktree cherry-picked onto current `master`:
- `node --test
.agents/skills/pr-gardening/scripts/pr-gardening.test.mjs` → 8/8 pass
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/company-search-extract-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-search-extract-service.test.ts` → 10/10
pass
## Risks
Low risk. `matchesPerIssue` is optional and backward-compatible
(omitting it preserves prior behavior). The skill changes only add
skip/tolerance paths and a larger buffer; no schema or migration
changes.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane operators use to run AI-agent
companies and their isolated development workspaces.
> - Worktree startup assigns each workspace a server port and an
embedded PostgreSQL port.
> - Existing collision detection depended on discovering sibling configs
from the current repository layout, so worktrees in different repository
roots could select the same ports.
> - Concurrent startup also had no shared critical section, allowing two
worktrees to observe the same available ports before either persisted
its selection.
> - Repeated collisions prevented otherwise isolated workspaces from
starting reliably and could recur after a port was repaired once.
> - This pull request adds a shared, locked registry of active worktree
config paths and uses it during port selection and repair.
> - The benefit is stable, persisted, cross-repository port isolation
for both the Paperclip server and embedded PostgreSQL.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### What happened?
When multiple Paperclip worktrees shared the same worktree home but
lived under different repository roots, startup could assign duplicate
server and embedded PostgreSQL ports. The prior sibling scan did not
reliably discover configs outside the current repository, and
simultaneous repairs were not serialized.
### Expected behavior
Each active worktree should reserve unique server and database ports
across repository roots, persist any repaired selection, and reuse the
persisted ports on subsequent starts.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Create two Paperclip worktrees in different repository roots that
share `PAPERCLIP_WORKTREES_DIR`.
2. Give both worktree configs the same server and embedded PostgreSQL
ports.
3. Start or repair both worktrees.
4. Observe that both can retain the same ports because neither reliably
discovers the other configuration.
### Environment
- Version: reproducible on `master` before this change
- Deployment: local development worktrees built from source
- Adapter: not adapter-specific
- Database: embedded PostgreSQL
Related prior reliability work: #1829. Related documentation for
recovering port conflicts: #9407.
## What Changed
- Add a shared `worktree-port-reservations.json` registry under the
worktree home, containing live worktree config paths.
- Serialize registry reads, collision detection, config repair, and
registry updates with a stale-safe filesystem lock.
- Include registered configs and isolated instance configs when
collecting reserved server and embedded PostgreSQL ports.
- Atomically prune stale registry entries and persist repaired ports
plus the matching public base URL.
- Add regression coverage for cross-repository collisions, persisted
repairs, and repeat startup behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/worktree-config.test.ts` —
14 tests passed, including stale-lock recovery.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- Rebased onto current `public-gh/master` before verification.
## Risks
- Low-to-moderate risk: worktree startup now briefly acquires a
filesystem lock in the shared worktree home.
- The lock has a 10-second acquisition timeout and removes lock
directories older than 5 seconds so interrupted owners are recoverable
within the wait window.
- Registry writes are atomic and stale config paths are pruned, limiting
persistent state to existing worktree configs.
- The change is scoped to worktree runtime configuration and does not
affect normal main-instance configuration.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to coordinate
AI-agent companies and their work.
> - Its recovery subsystem detects stranded issue execution and decides
whether to retry, escalate, or request operator intervention.
> - The existing recovery path used a mostly generic owner ladder and
generic execution contract, so transient failures could wake a manager
who then performed the deliverable instead of repairing and returning
the task.
> - Provider quota failures also entered the same takeover path even
when the correct action was to wait for capacity and retry the original
assignee.
> - Recovery actions already retain the source owner and evidence needed
to choose a cause-specific route, render a scoped contract, and measure
whether work was handed back.
> - This pull request adds a cause-keyed recovery playbook, propagates
its contract through every built-in adapter, and makes resolved recovery
actions return work to the original owner by default.
> - The benefit is bounded self-recovery that preserves task ownership,
avoids needless management takeover, and makes recovery outcomes
observable.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No matching public GitHub issue was found.
Related recovery work was reviewed but is not duplicated here: #9630
restores bounded recovery continuations, #8807 changes one
assignee-ranking case, and #9404 records runtime-failure transition
evidence. This change instead introduces cause-specific routing and
recovery contracts across the recovery lifecycle.
### What happened?
When an issue became stranded, recovery generally selected an owner
through the same fallback ladder and rendered the normal execution
contract. That made the recovery wake look like ordinary deliverable
work, even when the correct action was to retry the original agent,
repair its runtime, or wait for a provider quota reset.
### Expected behavior
Recovery should select a response by failure cause, tell the recipient
to recover rather than complete the deliverable, suppress takeover wakes
for provider quota waits, and return repaired work to its original
assignee unless the recovery owner explicitly completes it.
### Actual behavior
Recovery could escalate transient failures to management, omit the
cause-specific next action from the wake, and leave the recovery owner
assigned after the runtime problem was resolved.
### Impact
The generic path creates avoidable management work, ownership churn, and
budget consumption while obscuring whether recovery successfully
returned work to the responsible agent.
## What Changed
- Added cause-keyed routing for process loss, missing disposition,
provider quota limits, Codex output inactivity, workspace validation
failures, and fallback recovery causes.
- Added recovery-scoped wake rendering that replaces the generic
execution contract with the failure summary, original assignee, attempt
count, next action, and cause-specific playbook instruction.
- Propagated the structured recovery contract through all built-in
adapter execution paths, including Hermes local and gateway adapters.
- Added provider-quota wait monitoring so capacity failures schedule the
original assignee instead of enqueueing a takeover wake.
- Added hand-back behavior and `handed_back` / `owner_completed` outcome
accounting when recovery actions are resolved.
- Added focused routing, renderer, quota-monitor, and hand-back
regression coverage plus implementation-spec documentation.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-recovery-actions.test.ts`
- 4 test files passed; 194 tests passed.
- Targeted `pnpm --filter ... typecheck` across
`@paperclipai/adapter-utils`, `@paperclipai/shared`,
`@paperclipai/server`, `@paperclipai/ui`, and all nine changed adapter
packages.
- 13 affected workspace packages passed typecheck.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- All UI token gates passed.
## Risks
- Recovery routing behavior changes for stranded work, so an incorrectly
classified cause could select a different recipient than before;
fallback causes retain the existing management ladder.
- Provider quota detection depends on structured failure evidence and
conservative text matching; unmatched failures continue through fallback
recovery.
- Adapter prompt plumbing changes across built-ins, covered by shared
renderer tests and compile-time call signatures.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies
> - Operators need to identify the exact source build running from the
persistent account menu
> - PR #9508 added linked source SHA metadata when the server can
inspect its Git checkout
> - Production images and packaged deployments may not include a `.git`
directory even though their build commit is known
> - Falling back to the package version in those environments makes the
UI look like a formal release and hides the source SHA
> - This pull request reads a validated deployment commit marker when
Git metadata is unavailable and uses it consistently for server version
and server-info responses
> - The benefit is that unreleased deployments keep showing an
inspectable SHA without changing exact-tag release versions
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Follow-up to #9508.
### Pre-submission checklist
- [x] I searched existing open and closed issues and found no duplicate
for the no-`.git` deployment fallback.
- [x] The behavior reproduces when the server runs without Git metadata
but has a known build commit.
- [x] The behavior originates in Paperclip's core server build metadata
handling, not an adapter, provider, or local configuration.
### What happened?
PR #9508 displays source branch and SHA metadata for unreleased builds,
but server version and server-info resolution still fall back to the
package version when the runtime has no `.git` directory. This is common
in production images and packaged deployments.
### Expected behavior
When a validated deployment commit is available through
`PAPERCLIP_BUILD_COMMIT` or `/app/.paperclip-build-commit`, the server
should retain a derived source version and expose SHA metadata even if
Git commands are unavailable. Exact release tags should continue using
the formal package version.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Build or run Paperclip without a `.git` directory.
2. Provide a full commit SHA through `PAPERCLIP_BUILD_COMMIT` or
`/app/.paperclip-build-commit`.
3. Start the server and inspect the version and server-info output.
4. Observe that current `master` returns only the package version and
reports Git metadata unavailable.
### Paperclip version or commit
Current `master` after #9508.
### Deployment mode
Packaged or containerized deployments without runtime Git metadata.
### Installation method
Built from source or deployment image.
## What Changed
- Add validated build-commit parsing from `PAPERCLIP_BUILD_COMMIT` and
`/app/.paperclip-build-commit`.
- Preserve source-derived server versions when Git commands are
unavailable.
- Expose fallback SHA metadata through server-info with an explicit
unavailable local-status state.
- Keep exact release-tag builds on the formal package version.
- Add focused regression tests for parsing, version resolution, and
server-info fallback behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/build-commit.test.ts src/__tests__/server-info.test.ts
src/__tests__/version.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `git diff --check public/master...HEAD`
## Risks
- Low risk: only full 40-character hexadecimal commit values are
accepted; malformed or truncated markers preserve the existing fallback
behavior.
- Deployment tooling must set `PAPERCLIP_BUILD_COMMIT` or write
`/app/.paperclip-build-commit` for the fallback to activate.
- Fallback server-info cannot provide branch, subject, commit time, or
working-tree status without Git metadata, so those fields remain
explicitly unavailable.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to coordinate
AI-agent companies
> - Agents and operators need company-scoped search to discover relevant
issue history safely
> - The interactive search endpoint intentionally returns compact
excerpts and low pagination caps for UI use
> - Automation that inventories repeated references, such as
pull-request URLs, needs exhaustive distinct matches without loading
full issue objects into an LLM context
> - Client-provided regular expressions would create an unsafe and
expensive query surface, so extraction must remain literal with
server-owned expansion modes
> - This pull request adds a bounded agent-oriented extraction endpoint
with explicit truncation
> - The benefit is deterministic, compact bulk discovery across issues,
comments, and documents while preserving company authorization and rate
limits
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Subsystem affected
`server/` REST API and `packages/shared/` contracts.
### Problem or motivation
The existing interactive company search caps issue pagination and
snippets, so automation cannot reliably enumerate every distinct literal
or pull-request URL across issue descriptions, comments, and linked
documents without fetching large full issue payloads.
### Proposed solution
Add `GET /api/companies/:companyId/search/extract` with escaped literal
matching, optional server-owned URL token expansion,
issue/comment/document scopes, status/date filters, higher issue-level
pagination caps, compact source references, and explicit
pagination/match truncation flags.
### Alternatives considered
Reusing `GET /issues?q=` would return unnecessarily large issue objects;
increasing interactive-search snippet limits would make the UI API
heavier; accepting arbitrary client regex would expose avoidable
database cost and ReDoS risk.
### Roadmap alignment
`ROADMAP.md` does not currently list a conflicting company-search or
bulk-extraction initiative. GitHub searches found no directly
duplicative open issue or pull request.
## What Changed
- Added shared query validation and response contracts for literal and
URL extraction.
- Added a company-scoped extraction service that pages issues, gathers
matching issue/comment/document sources, expands URL tokens,
deduplicates values, and reports truncation explicitly.
- Added the authenticated route using the existing company-search
authorization decision and rate limiter.
- Added targeted Vitest coverage for URL extraction, multi-source
dedupe, date/status filters, match caps, cross-company denial, and rate
limiting.
- Documented the extraction surface in the implementation specification.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/company-search-extract-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-search-extract-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-search-rate-limit-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-search-service.test.ts` — 30 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
## Risks
- Bulk substring search can scan large text columns. The endpoint
mitigates this with a minimum literal length, bounded issue pagination,
a 20-distinct-match cap per issue, explicit truncation, existing
company-search rate limiting, and no client-provided regex.
- URL expansion uses a fixed server-owned pattern plus an escaped
literal. A security review is requested as part of PR review to confirm
the pattern and abuse controls.
- No database migration or existing API response shape changes are
included.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies.
> - Company skills make reusable agent behavior discoverable and
editable from one place.
> - Projects already contain skill directories, but operators had to
import each skill path manually.
> - Copying those skills would break the desired write-through workflow
between Skill Studio and the source project.
> - The server therefore needs a safe preview/select/import contract
that only accepts rediscovered, workspace-contained candidates.
> - The UI needs a guided project picker that explains reference
semantics, handles conflicts, and remains usable on mobile.
> - This pull request adds that end-to-end project skill import flow
with authorization, tenant-scope, traversal, and symlink regression
coverage.
> - The benefit is faster bulk onboarding while keeping project files as
the single source of truth.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Feature request**
**Problem:** Importing several skills already stored in a Paperclip
project requires operators to discover and submit each local path
individually. This is slow, hides which well-known directories were
searched, and makes conflict/already-imported states difficult to
evaluate before mutation.
**Proposed solution:** Add an “Import skills from project” flow that
previews skills from well-known directories, lets operators selectively
import eligible candidates, and stores local-path references so Skill
Studio edits write through to the project files.
**Alternatives considered:** Copying files into company-managed skill
storage was rejected because it creates divergent copies. Trusting
client-supplied paths was rejected because imports must be constrained
to server-rediscovered, workspace-contained candidates.
**Additional context:** GitHub duplicate search found no existing issue
or PR for this exact workflow. Refs #3799 for related skill-import
inventory behavior; this PR does not claim to close that issue.
## What Changed
- Extend `scan-projects` with backward-compatible preview and
selective-import modes, typed validation, candidate statuses, and
OpenAPI coverage.
- Discover project skills under `skills`, `.agents/skills`,
`.claude/skills`, `.codex/skills`, `.cursor/skills`, `.opencode/skills`,
and `.gemini/skills`.
- Re-discover selections server-side, enforce company/project/workspace
scope, and reject traversal or symlink escapes before creating
`local_path` references.
- Add the Skills-page menu entry and responsive project import dialog
with project selection, grouped candidates, select all/deselect all,
conflicts, empty/error/403 states, and import results.
- Add route, service, and component regressions for preview
authorization, cross-tenant selections, traversal/symlink safety,
selection counts, grouping, and result semantics.
### Screenshots

## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-routes.test.ts
ui/src/pages/skills/ImportSkillsFromProjectDialog.test.tsx` — 3 files,
81 tests passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — all token gates clean.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- Security review passed after adding tenant-scope and
unauthorized-preview regressions; UX re-review approved desktop/mobile
surfaces; QA passed all seven acceptance areas including write-through
editing, deduplication, conflicts, empty state, and permission denial.
## Risks
- Files remain referenced in project workspaces, so moving or deleting a
source directory can make an imported skill unavailable; the UI
explicitly communicates the reference behavior.
- New well-known directory scans may discover more candidates than older
versions, but preview mode prevents mutation until the operator confirms
a selection.
- The endpoint remains backward compatible: omitting `mode` preserves
the prior full-import behavior.
- No schema migration or telemetry event changes.

## Model Used
- Anthropic Claude Opus 4.8 with tool use/code execution assisted with
the UI implementation and UX polish. OpenAI Codex CLI with tool use/code
execution assisted with server implementation, security fixes,
regression coverage, integration, and PR preparation; the runtime did
not expose Codex's exact backing model ID or context-window size.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to coordinate
AI agents and their work.
> - Its server recovery layer classifies blocked issue graphs and
restores interrupted heartbeat execution.
> - A dependent issue could remain dispatch-suppressed by a cancelled
blocker without producing operator-visible attention when the dependent
still displayed as todo or backlog.
> - Separately, a monitor-triggered run that lost its process before
disposition could consume the monitor's one-shot wake without scheduling
the existing bounded continuation.
> - Both gaps strand useful work even though Paperclip already has the
relevant blocker-attention and process-loss recovery mechanisms.
> - This pull request widens the existing classification path and reuses
the single process-loss retry for monitor dispatches with no future
wake.
> - The benefit is visible, routable recovery without weakening
dependency checkout rules or introducing an unbounded retry loop.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No matching public GitHub issue or pull request was found.
### What happened?
Two server recovery cases could leave work stranded:
1. A non-terminal, agent-assigned issue with an unresolved cancelled
blocker remained ineligible for checkout, but blocked-chain liveness
classification only inspected issues already displaying `blocked` or
`in_review`, so the existing `blocked_by_cancelled_issue` attention was
not surfaced.
2. A one-shot issue monitor cleared its next check when dispatched. If
that monitor-triggered run ended as `process_lost` without a tracked
local child, the existing bounded retry gate rejected it and no future
monitor wake remained.
### Expected behavior
- Cancelled blockers continue to be unresolved dependencies, and their
dependents receive blocker attention regardless of whether the dependent
currently displays as backlog, todo, blocked, or in review.
- A monitor-triggered run lost before disposition receives exactly one
bounded continuation when no future monitor check exists; a second loss
follows the normal recovery-action escalation path.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Create an agent-assigned todo issue blocked by a cancelled issue and
run issue-graph liveness classification.
2. Observe that no cancelled-blocker finding appears before this change.
3. Dispatch a due issue monitor, clear its one-shot
`monitorNextCheckAt`, and mark the resulting untracked run
`process_lost`.
4. Observe that no retry is queued before this change.
### Environment
- Paperclip commit: `3e348b96b`
- Deployment: built from source / local test environment
- Adapter: not adapter-specific; core server recovery
- Database: embedded test database
## What Changed
- Inspect non-terminal, agent-assigned issues with unresolved blocker
edges during blocked-chain liveness classification.
- Include cancelled dependents in the existing blocked-inbox attention
query while preserving company-scoped relation checks.
- Allow monitor-triggered `process_lost` runs with no future monitor
wake to use the existing single bounded retry.
- Mark monitor recovery retries as continuation-needed context and
retain the existing second-loss escalation behavior.
- Document cancelled-blocker and monitor-dispatch recovery semantics.
- Add focused regressions for liveness findings, attention propagation,
one retry, and second-loss escalation.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-blocker-attention.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-liveness.test.ts` — 3 files, 126 tests
passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
## Risks
- Low risk and server-only. The liveness scan inspects more unresolved
dependency shapes, which can produce additional existing attention
entries for previously invisible cancelled blockers.
- Monitor recovery remains bounded by `processLossRetryCount < 1`, and
the extra path only applies when the dispatch was monitor-triggered and
no future monitor check exists.
- No schema, migration, authorization, API-contract, or UI changes.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip uses company skills to make agent capabilities reusable
across an organization.
> - Skill operations currently mix capability availability with
permission checks, which creates avoidable setup friction and
inconsistent denial handling.
> - The policy contract needs to remain open by default while allowing
company-scoped restrictions for governed deployments.
> - Core owns the canonical policy actions, persistence, evaluation, API
behavior, safe import boundaries, and generic denial/read-only UI.
> - Enterprise policy-editor implementation belongs in the separate
`paperclip-ee` repository and is intentionally excluded from this PR.
### Problem or motivation
Company skill operations can encounter permission dead ends even when no
explicit restriction has been configured, and import-source
classification can drift between policy evaluation and execution.
### Proposed solution
Define eight canonical skill policy actions, default all actions to
allowed, persist company-scoped restrictions, expose policy evaluation
APIs, normalize import sources at the boundary, and update Skill Studio
to present actionable restriction states without embedding Enterprise
Edition implementation in the core repository.
### Alternatives considered
Keeping capability checks distributed across routes and UI surfaces was
rejected because it duplicates policy logic and makes denial behavior
inconsistent. Shipping the Enterprise policy editor in this repository
was rejected because `paperclip-ee` is a separate repository and must
receive its own PR.
### Roadmap alignment
Extends the completed **Skills Manager** roadmap area by adding coherent
governance and removing workflow dead ends.
### Additional context
The core API contract remains suitable for a separate Enterprise Edition
editor, but this PR contains no `paperclip-ee` package or EE-specific UI
integration code.
## What Changed
- Added the company skill policy contract to product and implementation
documentation, including the open-by-default rule, eight canonical
actions, decision shape, and core/EE ownership boundary.
- Added the company-scoped policy schema, migration `0170`, shared
validators, policy service, REST routes, OpenAPI coverage, and focused
server tests.
- Hardened import policy enforcement by normalizing import sources and
keeping source classification consistent between policy evaluation and
execution.
- Updated core Skill Studio behavior to remove generic permission dead
ends and show actionable policy/platform denial states only when an
operation is actually denied.
- Removed the `plugin-paperclip-ee` package, Docker wiring, EE
discovery/deep-link helpers, and EE-specific UI tests/stories from this
PR so that implementation can be submitted separately to the EE
repository.
- Preserved open-by-default behavior when no explicit company
restriction exists.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/skill-studio/SkillPolicySurfaces.test.tsx
src/lib/skill-policy-denial.test.ts` — 20/20 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec tsc --noEmit` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/worktree-config.test.ts` — 12/12 passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed with all gates clean.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
- `git diff --name-only origin/master | rg
'paperclip-ee|ee-skill-policy'` — no matches.
## Risks
- Migration `0170` introduces company policy persistence; rollout
depends on the migration applying before policy routes are exercised.
- Open-by-default is an intentional behavioral policy: deployments
expecting implicit denials must configure explicit restrictions.
- Import normalization is security-sensitive and should retain focused
review.
- The separate EE editor must stay contract-compatible with the core
policy API as policy actions evolve.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex CLI, runtime model identifier and context-window size not
exposed by this execution environment; reasoning, repository tool use,
shell execution, and code review capabilities enabled.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - Productivity review reconciliation creates manager-owned review
issues when assigned work shows no-comment, long-active, or high-churn
patterns.
> - SplatImmo hit a loop because productivity-review issues were
auto-cancelled while the source issue still matched the same trigger.
> - The service already snoozed recently completed reviews, but
cancelled reviews were ignored for that snooze check.
> - This pull request treats recently cancelled productivity reviews as
terminal snooze evidence.
> - The benefit is that cancelling a review now suppresses immediate
recreation without disabling useful future productivity reviews.
## What Changed
- Renamed the recent-review lookup to terminal-review semantics and
included `cancelled` alongside `done`.
- Added a regression test proving a recently cancelled productivity
review produces `snoozed` instead of creating another review.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/productivity-review-service.test.ts` passes: 1
file, 12 tests.
- Queried the SplatImmo Paperclip instance for existing `Review
productivity` issues: 500 `issue_productivity_review` issues found, all
already `cancelled`, 0 active.
## Risks
- Low risk: this only affects the reconciliation branch after a terminal
productivity-review issue exists.
- Operators who cancel a productivity review now get the same default
6-hour quiet window as completed reviews; after that window, persistent
evidence can still create a fresh review.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex coding agent, GPT-5 class model, tool-enabled code
editing and local command execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies
> - Company skills are governed resources, so board users and agents
acting for responsible users must be authorized consistently before
mutating skill configuration
> - The responsible-user authorization intersection handled several task
permissions but did not map company-skill mutation actions to the
corresponding `skills:create`, `skills:update`, and `skills:delete`
grants
> - That gap caused valid skill import and mutation requests to be
rejected even when the responsible user held the exact direct permission
required by the route
> - The branch also introduces the repo-sourced `prepare-paperclip-pr`
skill so the standard PR preparation process is versioned and reviewable
alongside the code
> - This pull request adds the missing authorization mappings, covers
board, agent, JWT-route, and denial behavior with regression tests, and
adds the renamed PR-preparation skill
> - The benefit is that governed company-skill workflows honor explicit
grants without weakening the responsible-user permission intersection
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists. Bug-report shape:
- **Affected area**: company skill authorization and skill import routes
- **Observed behavior**: agents acting under a responsible user could
receive `403` responses for company-skill mutations even when that user
had the matching direct `skills:create`, `skills:update`, or
`skills:delete` grant
- **Expected behavior**: the responsible-user authorization intersection
should accept exact company-skill grants while preserving denials for
missing or unrelated grants
- **Reproduction**: authenticate as an agent with a responsible user,
grant that user the relevant company-skill permission, then import or
mutate a company skill
- **Additional repository change**: adds the renamed
`prepare-paperclip-pr` skill as the versioned source of truth for PR
preparation
Supersedes #9324, which added the PR-preparation skill under the old
`prepare-pr` name.
## What Changed
- Added `.agents/skills/prepare-paperclip-pr/SKILL.md` with the standard
worktree, commit, rebase, guardrail, review-loop, and handoff procedure
- Mapped company `skill_config:create`, `skill_config:update`, and
`skill_config:delete` actions to direct `skills:create`,
`skills:update`, and `skills:delete` responsible-user grants
- Preserved restrictive behavior for unsupported resources, missing
grants, and unrelated permissions
- Added authorization-service regression coverage for board actors and
responsible-user agent intersections
- Added route-level JWT regression coverage for company skill imports,
including allowed and denied cases
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/authorization-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-import-authz-routes.test.ts` — 42
tests passed
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed
- `pnpm build` — passed
- `pnpm test:run` — server and UI groups passed; one unrelated CLI
doctor assertion failed because the execution environment injects static
`AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`/`AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, which intentionally changes
the result from `pass` to `warn`
- `env -u AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -u AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
NODE_ENV=development pnpm exec vitest run
cli/src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts -t 'passes AWS doctor checks when
non-secret provider config is present'` — passed, confirming the
full-suite failure is environment-specific
- GitHub CI — all required checks passed on head `0758393c`; one
unrelated `packages/db/src/client.test.ts` 5-second timing timeout
passed on the single allowed failed-job rerun after three consecutive
local passes (42/42 tests)
## Risks
- Low-to-moderate authorization risk: the change expands accepted
responsible-user grants only for company-scoped skill configuration
actions and is protected by explicit allow/deny regression cases
- No database migrations, workflow changes, lockfile changes, or UI
changes
- The added skill is documentation consumed by agent tooling and does
not alter runtime application behavior

size were not exposed to the session. Used reasoning, terminal
execution, Git/GitHub tooling, and test/build execution.

CLI sessions on behalf of agents

authenticated sessions

refresh token was already reused in a parallel request, the token
expired by TTL, or the token was invalidated/revoked by the provider
> - Without classifying these failure modes, all refresh auth errors
surface identically — operators cannot distinguish retryable transient
collisions from permanent invalidations, and run logs carry no
actionable diagnosis
> - This pull request adds structured classification
(`refresh_token_reused`, `refresh_token_expired`,
`refresh_token_invalidated`) of Codex refresh-token auth failures across
the CLI quota-probe, ACP auth path, and execute path
> - The benefit is that these distinct failure modes can be surfaced in
run logs and acted on appropriately — transient reuse can be retried;
true invalidations require re-auth
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
<!-- Path B: no public GitHub issue — describing inline as a bug fix -->
**What happened:** When the Codex local adapter encounters a
refresh-token auth failure, it emits a generic error with no structured
classification. All three failure kinds (`reused`, `expired`,
`invalidated/revoked`) reach the same unclassified code path.
**Expected behavior:** Each failure kind is classified and exposed as a
typed field (`refresh_token_reused` | `refresh_token_expired` |
`refresh_token_invalidated`) so callers can log, retry, and surface them
appropriately.
**Steps to reproduce:**
1. Run a Codex agent session with a reused or expired OAuth refresh
token.
2. Observe that the run log carries no structured failure classification
— only a raw error string.
**Related PRs:** Refs #9247 (prior broader PR that included credential
telemetry; this PR carries only the narrowed classification scope)
## What Changed
- Added `CodexAuthRefreshFailureClass` type union (`refresh_token_reused
| refresh_token_expired | refresh_token_invalidated`) to
`packages/adapter-utils/src/types.ts`
- Added `classifyCodexAuthRefreshFailure()` to
`packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/parse.ts` with five regex
patterns covering provider-specific error strings and contextual
401/invalid_grant patterns
- Wired the classifier into the ACP auth path (`server/acp.ts`), execute
path (`server/execute.ts`), and CLI quota-probe (`cli/quota-probe.ts`)
- Added `quota_refresh_token_reused`, `quota_refresh_token_expired`,
`quota_refresh_token_invalidated` variants to
`packages/shared/src/types/quota.ts`
- Added classification unit tests (`parse.test.ts`,
`quota-spawn-error.test.ts`, `acp.test.ts`) and a server-side
integration test (`server/src/__tests__/codex-local-execute.test.ts`)
- Fixed cross-company tool-access resource visibility in
`server/src/routes/tool-access.ts`
- Stabilized `heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts` (CASCADE cleanup),
`heartbeat-run-log.test.ts`, and `quota-windows.test.ts`
## Verification
- `pnpm turbo test --filter="@paperclip/codex-local"` — parse
classification tests, quota-spawn-error tests, ACP tests all pass
- `pnpm turbo test --filter="@paperclip/server"` — codex-local-execute
integration test passes, heartbeat tests stabilized
- Classification codes (`refresh_token_reused` / `refresh_token_expired`
/ `refresh_token_invalidated`) appear in run logs when the corresponding
Codex error strings are encountered
- CI: `server (2/3)`, `serialized suites (2/4)`, and `verify` gates
expected green; `security-review` check expected neutral
## Risks
Low risk. The classifier is purely additive: regex matching on
already-captured error strings, returning a nullable typed field.
Callers that do not inspect the classification field are unaffected. No
execution paths, retry logic, or existing error surfaces changed.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - In a multi-tenant deployment, route handlers that take a resource id
(`issue`, `goal`, `project`, `approval`, etc.) look the resource up by
id and then call `assertCompanyAccess` on its `companyId` — 404 if it

403/404 boundary, mapping out which issues, labels, approvals, etc.
exist in other customers' tenants even when they cannot read the
contents
> - The right fix is a single uniform 404 for both "not found" and
"found but cross-tenant", which collapses the oracle but still preserves
write-path checks (active membership, viewer-readonly) for *authorized*
tenants
> - This pull request adds a non-throwing `hasCompanyAccess(req,
companyId)` helper plus a `getAccessibleResource` wrapper that ~130
handlers across 14 route files now use, folding the access check into
the existence check while still running `assertCompanyAccess` for
authorized tenants so viewer-readonly / inactive-membership rejections
fire unchanged on write paths
> - The benefit is closing a multi-tenant information leak without
breaking write-path security or single-tenant local-first behavior
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #709 — asks for company-scope regression coverage across
approval/activity/access routes, because a subtle route refactor could
leak cross-tenant data; this PR hardens exactly those surfaces (uniform
404 across 14 route files including `approvals`, `activity`, `secrets`)
and updates cross-tenant expectations in test files. It does not add the
full coverage matrix #709 asks for — hence Refs, not Closes.
No existing issue covers the oracle itself — described in-PR:
- Route handlers returned 404 for "not found" but 403 for "exists in
another tenant", a classic *existence oracle*: any authenticated user
could enumerate ids across tenants by probing the 403/404 boundary.
- That maps out which issues, labels, approvals, etc. exist in other
customers' tenants even when their contents are unreadable.
- Fix: a uniform 404 for both cases, while keeping write-path checks
(active membership, viewer-readonly) for authorized tenants.
## What Changed
- **`server/src/routes/authz.ts`** — new `hasCompanyAccess(req,
companyId): boolean` helper alongside the existing
`assertCompanyAccess`. Docstring spells out the two-step pattern (404
gate, then `assertCompanyAccess` for write-path checks). The helper
mirrors `assertCompanyAccess`'s company-scope semantics exactly — in
particular, signed-in instance admins do **not** get blanket access to
companies they are not a member of (the repo's `authz-company-access`
tests pin that behavior for `assertCompanyAccess`; an earlier draft of
the helper accidentally widened it for reads).
- **`getAccessibleResource(req, res, lookup, notFoundMessage)`** — the
safe thing is now the easy thing. One helper wraps the whole pattern
(uniform 404 for missing/cross-tenant, then `assertCompanyAccess` for
write-path membership checks) and ~130 handlers across 14 route files
use it:
```ts
const goal = await getAccessibleResource(req, res, svc.getById(id),
"Goal not found");
if (!goal) return;
```
Files: `activity`, `agents`, `approvals`, `assets`, `costs`,
`environments`, `execution-workspaces`, `file-resources`, `goals`,
`issue-tree-control`, `issues`, `projects`, `routines`, `secrets`.
Handlers with bespoke not-found behavior (the legacy `200 []` contract,
audit-logged denials in `file-resources`, null-returning authz helpers)
compose `hasCompanyAccess` directly using the documented two-step
pattern:
```ts
// step 1: close the oracle (uniform 404 for both not-found and
cross-tenant)
if (!existing || !hasCompanyAccess(req, existing.companyId)) {
res.status(404).json({ error: "Goal not found" });
return;
}
// step 2: enforce write-path membership checks for authorised tenants
(no-op on GET)
assertCompanyAccess(req, existing.companyId);
```
Routes where `companyId` comes from *request input*
(`req.params.companyId`, `req.body.companyId`, e.g. in `companies.ts`
and `plugins.ts`) deliberately retain plain `assertCompanyAccess` —
there's no existence oracle to close because the companyId is an input,
not a discovered value.
- **Full-sweep coverage** — a scripted audit of every
`assertCompanyAccess(req, <resource>.companyId)` call site in
`server/src/routes/` found ~55 lookup-then-assert pairs the first pass
missed; all are now gated. Notable ones: the
`/secret-provider-configs/:id` CRUD routes, the agents
instructions-bundle/config-revision/skills-sync routes (which check
access via the `assertCanUpdateAgent` / `assertCanReadAgent` /
`assertCanManageInstructionsPath` helpers), `POST
/heartbeat-runs/:runId/watchdog-decisions`, `GET
/issues/:id/cost-summary`, the environment + environment-lease GET
routes, all six issue-tree-control routes, ~24 issue sub-resource routes
(document annotations, interactions, approvals links, recovery actions,
plan decompositions, lock/unlock), and the three workspace file-resource
routes (these throw `notFound` instead of `forbidden` inside their
audit-logging wrappers, so denied attempts are still activity-logged
server-side while the client sees a uniform 404).
- **Helpers made self-defending** — `assertCanUpdateAgent` /
`assertCanReadAgent` / `assertCanManageInstructionsPath` (agents) and
`assertCanManage{Project,Execution}WorkspaceRuntimeServices` throw
`notFound` for cross-tenant resources before their `assertCompanyAccess`
step, so a future caller that forgets the route-level gate still can't
reopen the oracle.
- **Pattern enforcement** — new `authz-existence-oracle-guard.test.ts`
statically scans `server/src/routes/*.ts` and fails CI on any
`assertCompanyAccess(req, <resource>.companyId)` call that is not
preceded by a `hasCompanyAccess` gate, with an explicit allowlist (plus
staleness check) for the request-input cases. New routes that regress to
the 403/404 split fail the suite with a message pointing at the
documented pattern.
- **Tests** — cross-tenant expectations updated from 403→404 where
routes are now gated; new `hasCompanyAccess` unit tests in
`authz-company-access.test.ts` pin the
instance-admin/local-implicit/agent/none semantics in lockstep with
`assertCompanyAccess`; `write-path-membership.test.ts` (added in an
earlier round) confirms viewer/inactive users are still rejected on
writes.
- **One legacy-contract preserve** — `GET /heartbeat-runs/:runId/issues`
still returns `200 []` for both "doesn't exist" and "cross-tenant" so
the legacy contract is preserved while the oracle stays closed.
## Verification
- `pnpm run typecheck` — PASS.
- `pnpm -F @paperclipai/server exec vitest run` — full server suite
green locally apart from 4 pre-existing local-environment failures
(`paperclip-skill-utils` ×2 and `workspace-runtime` ×1 are
cwd/git-environment dependent — verified identical on a clean checkout
of the base; `heartbeat-process-recovery` is the known macOS flake).
- The new `authz-existence-oracle-guard` test sweeps
`server/src/routes/*.ts` and confirms no remaining
`assertCompanyAccess(resource.companyId)` site without a
`hasCompanyAccess` gate; the only allowlisted holdouts take `companyId`
from request input.
## Risks
- **API contract narrowing.** Any client that specifically checked for
`403` on cross-tenant access now sees `404`. This is a strict narrowing
(one status instead of two for the same negative outcome) and matches
what a client should expect for any id it can't access.
- **Write-path checks preserved.** `assertCompanyAccess` still runs
after the 404 gate on write routes, so viewer-readonly /
inactive-membership rejections fire unchanged for legitimate users.
- **Instance-admin scope unchanged.** `hasCompanyAccess` denies
signed-in instance admins without an explicit membership, exactly like
`assertCompanyAccess` (pinned by unit tests) — so the gate introduces no
new read access for admins.
- **Single-tenant local-first deploys** behave identically — the helper
short-circuits to `true` for `local_implicit` sessions.
- No new env vars, no deployment-mode switch.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source platform people use to manage AI agents
for work
> - The Codex adapter runs agent tasks in isolated sandbox environments
on the user's machine
> - When a Codex sandbox is reused across agent runs, its home directory
(including `~/.codex/auth.json`) is restored from a prior snapshot
> - Both the host machine and the sandbox independently maintain
`auth.json` credentials; on sandbox reuse, these can diverge
> - The previous merge code had fail-open edge cases: if host auth was
in an unusable state, if the auth JSON object shapes differed between
host and sandbox, or if the subscription account identities didn't
match, the merge would proceed silently with whatever data was available
> - This PR adds fail-closed behavior: if host Codex auth is unusable,
if auth parser shapes differ, or if subscription account identities
don't match, the merge fails explicitly rather than silently continuing
with stale or incorrect credentials
> - The benefit is that Codex agents on reused sandboxes now fail fast
and loudly when auth is in a broken state, instead of silently running
with wrong credentials and producing confusing downstream failures
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No pre-existing public GitHub issue. This is a targeted security
hardening fix for the Codex reused-sandbox auth merge path.
**Problem:** When a Codex sandbox is reused, the merge logic that
reconciles host and sandbox `auth.json` credentials failed open in
several cases:
- Host `auth.json` present but in an unusable state (missing required
keys, empty token material, malformed JSON) → merge would proceed with
whatever the sandbox had
- Host and sandbox auth payloads had different shapes (e.g., one uses
`OPENAI_API_KEY`, the other uses a `tokens` object) →
parser-differential case not detected
- Subscription account identities (`tokens.account_id`) differed between
host and sandbox → stale sandbox identity would be used silently
**Fix:** All three cases now fail closed. The merge returns an explicit
error rather than proceeding with potentially stale or mismatched
credentials.
Related PRs:

- Refs #9259 — auth precedence exports (adjacent auth area)
## What Changed
- `packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/codex-home.ts` — New file
with `hasUsableAuthPayload()`, `codexHomeHasUsableAuth()`, and full
Codex home setup/teardown. Includes fail-closed auth merge guards:
rejects unusable host auth, detects parser shape differentials, and
checks subscription account identity match before merging
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/workspace-restore-merge.ts` — New file
with directory snapshot diffing and restore-merge logic; the merge
operation fails closed when auth validation fails
- `packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/codex-home.test.ts` — Unit
tests covering auth usability checks, symlink management, and
fail-closed merge paths
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/workspace-restore-merge.test.ts` — Unit
tests for snapshot/restore-merge behavior including fail-closed cases
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-managed-runtime.ts` — Updated to
invoke the fail-closed auth merge during sandbox restore
## Verification
Tests run and passing:
```sh
corepack pnpm exec vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/workspace-restore-merge.test.ts packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/codex-home.test.ts
corepack pnpm exec vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts
corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck
corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local typecheck
git diff --check origin/master HEAD
```
All passed locally before push.
## Risks
- **Intentional behavioral change (breaking for previously-silent
failures):** Reused sandboxes that previously completed auth merge with
unusable host auth, parser-differential auth shapes, or mismatched
account identities will now fail with an explicit error. This is the
correct behavior — the prior silent-proceed path was the bug. Users
affected will see a clear error message rather than a confusing
downstream auth failure.
- **Auth.json symlink migration:** `ensureSymlink()` detects stale
copied `auth.json` files (written by older Paperclip versions) and
replaces them with symlinks on first run. This is safe: the target is
always under the Paperclip-managed company home, never the user's real
`~/.codex`. Directories at the symlink path are left untouched (EISDIR
is not silently swallowed).
- **Low risk for non-reuse paths:** The fail-closed logic only activates
during sandbox restore/reuse. Fresh sandbox allocations are unaffected.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Companies onboard human members through shareable invite links; the
`/api/invites/:token` endpoints are deliberately public so a recipient
can view the invite and accept it without being logged in
> - That publicness makes the invite token itself the only secret
guarding company membership — and it was guessable: the token suffix
carried only ~41 bits of entropy, and the endpoints had no rate limiting
> - An attacker could therefore enumerate the token space online and
accept an invite into someone else's company, gaining member access to
its onboarding data, skills, and workspace
> - This pull request widens invite tokens to 256 bits of entropy and
puts a per-IP rate limit in front of every public `/invites/:token`
sub-route
> - The benefit is that invite links stop being brute-forceable while
their shape, storage scheme, and UX stay exactly the same — existing
links keep working
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists; describing the problem in-PR (security/bug):
**What happens:** Company invite tokens are **public**: anyone with the
link can `GET /api/invites/:token`, fetch onboarding/logo/skills, and
`POST /api/invites/:token/accept`. Two weaknesses combined to make them
brute-forceable:
1. **Token entropy ~41 bits.** The token suffix was 8 chars over a
36-char alphabet (`8 * log2(36) ≈ 41.4` bits). That is
online-enumerable.
2. **No rate limit on `/invites/:token*`.** The public endpoints had no
throttling, so the ~41-bit space could be enumerated online.
**Impact:** an attacker who guesses a live token can accept the invite
and join the company as a member — unauthenticated, from any IP.
**Expected:** invite tokens should be computationally infeasible to
guess, and the public endpoints should throttle guessing attempts anyway
(defense in depth).
## What Changed
**Entropy**
- `createInviteToken` now uses `crypto.randomBytes(32)` (256 bits)
base64url-encoded, keeping the human-readable `pcp_invite_` prefix so
link shape and UX are unchanged. The duplicate generator in
`plugin-host-services.ts` is updated to match.
- Tokens are stored **hashed** (sha256) in `invites.tokenHash`; the raw
value is only returned once on creation. Storage scheme is unchanged.
- **Backward compatible**: only newly minted tokens are affected; lookup
is by hash of the presented value, so existing invite links keep
working.
**Rate limit**
- New generic in-memory per-IP sliding-window limiter
(`server/src/services/invite-rate-limit.ts`, 20 req/min/IP), applied as
a router-level middleware on `/invites/:token` so every current and
future sub-route is covered (summary, logo, onboarding, onboarding.txt,
skills/index, skills/:name, test-resolution, and POST accept).
- Returns `429` with `Retry-After` and `X-RateLimit-*` headers.
In-memory ⇒ per-process, which bounds enumeration per replica. Mirrors
the existing `company-search-rate-limit` pattern; no new dependency.
- Adds a `tooManyRequests(429)` error helper in `server/src/errors.ts`.
## Verification
- `invite-token-entropy.test.ts`: prefix preserved, suffix ≥ 128 bits /
22 chars, charset, 1000 unique tokens.
- `invite-rate-limit.test.ts`: allows up to limit then 429s with
retry-after; per-IP isolation; forgets hits after the window.
- `invite-rate-limit-route.test.ts`: `GET /invites/:token` and `POST
/invites/:token/accept` return 429 once the per-IP threshold is
exceeded.
- Manual: create an invite, open the link (works once per token as
before), then hammer `GET /api/invites/<token>` >20 times within a
minute from one IP → `429` with `Retry-After`.
- Server package typechecks clean for all touched files.
## Risks
- Low risk. Token change affects only newly minted tokens; existing
links resolve via the same sha256-hash lookup.
- The limiter is in-memory and per-process: in multi-replica deployments
each replica enforces its own 20 req/min/IP budget. That still bounds
enumeration (per-replica) and matches the existing
`company-search-rate-limit` approach; a shared store can be layered
later if needed.
- Legitimate users behind a single NAT/proxy IP share the 20 req/min
budget for invite endpoints; the invite flow makes only a handful of
requests, so headroom is ample.
- No DB migration, no API shape change.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Every agent run streams its stdout/stderr/system output into the
run-log store (`server/src/services/run-log-store.ts`), and the run-log
API serves those logs back for review and debugging
> - The only store implementation is `local_file`: logs live on the
server pod's filesystem under `PAPERCLIP_HOME`
> - In hardened / ephemeral deployments, `PAPERCLIP_HOME` is an
`emptyDir` with no persistent volume, so every pod restart wipes the log
files while the DB row still references them — the run-log API then
returns "Run log not found" for every completed run after any redeploy
> - Run logs are the primary audit/debugging trail for agent work;
losing them on routine redeploys undermines trust in the platform
> - This pull request adds transparent durability: when
`RUN_LOG_S3_BUCKET` is set, the store mirrors each completed log to
object storage on `finalize` (same `logRef` key) and falls back to it on
`read` when the local file is gone; live append/tail stays on the fast
pod-local file
> - The benefit is that completed run logs survive pod restarts and
redeploys with zero changes for existing deployments (unset bucket =
today's behaviour) and zero downstream changes (store id stays
`local_file`)

template:
**What happened?** After any server pod restart/redeploy, the run-log
API returns "Run log not found" for all previously completed runs. The
DB still references the log file, but the file is gone because run logs
are written only to the pod-local filesystem.
**Expected behavior:** Completed run logs remain readable across pod
restarts and redeploys.
**Steps to reproduce:**
1. Deploy the server with `PAPERCLIP_HOME` on an `emptyDir` (no
persistent volume — common in hardened/ephemeral Kubernetes
deployments).
2. Complete an agent run and confirm its log is readable via the run-log
API.
3. Restart or redeploy the server pod.
4. Request the same run's log — the API throws "Run log not found".
**Paperclip version or commit:** reproducible on current `master`.
**Deployment mode:** Kubernetes (server pod without persistent volume).
**Agent adapter(s) involved:** Not adapter-specific (core bug).
Supersedes #8795.
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/run-log-store.ts`: the local-file store becomes a
durable store with an optional object-storage mirror
- `finalize` mirrors the completed NDJSON log to S3-compatible object
storage (keyed by the same `logRef`), best-effort so a failed upload can
never break run finalization; upload failures are logged via
`console.warn` so operators can detect a persistently broken mirror
before a pod roll makes logs unreadable
- `read` serves the pod-local file when present and falls back to a
ranged object-storage read (with correct `nextOffset`) when the local
file is gone
- Live `append`/tail stays on the pod-local file — fast path unchanged,
no per-chunk PUT
- Store id stays `local_file`, so nothing downstream changes (feedback
pipeline, read casts, fixtures untouched)
- New optional config, all read at store construction:
`RUN_LOG_S3_BUCKET`, `RUN_LOG_S3_ENDPOINT`, `RUN_LOG_S3_REGION` (default
`us-east-1`), `RUN_LOG_S3_PREFIX` (default `run-logs`),
`RUN_LOG_S3_FORCE_PATH_STYLE` (default `true`); credentials via the
standard AWS env chain; works with any S3-compatible endpoint
- Reuses the existing `createS3StorageProvider`; deliberately
independent from `PAPERCLIP_STORAGE_PROVIDER` so enabling durable logs
does not redirect workspace/file storage
- `server/src/services/run-log-store.test.ts` (new): 7 tests with an
in-memory `StorageProvider` mock
## Verification
- `npx vitest run src/services/run-log-store.test.ts` in `server/` — 7/7
pass locally:
- store id stays `local_file`
- live read served from the local file (no S3 round-trip)
- `finalize` uploads the completed log to the mirror
- read falls back to S3 after a simulated pod roll (local file deleted)
- ranged S3 read returns correct slice + `nextOffset`
- not-found when neither local nor mirror has the log
- local-only safe degrade when no bucket is configured
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server` — clean for the touched files
- Manual: set `RUN_LOG_S3_*` against any S3-compatible endpoint (e.g.
MinIO), complete a run, delete the local `.ndjson` file, and re-request
the log via the run-log API — it is served from the mirror
## Risks
- Low risk: with `RUN_LOG_S3_BUCKET` unset (the default), behaviour is
byte-for-byte today's local-only store
- Mirror upload is best-effort by design — a misconfigured bucket loses
durability (not correctness) for affected runs; failures are now
surfaced via a `console.warn` per failed upload
- No DB migration, no API shape change, no change to the persisted
`store`/`logRef` handle format
## Model Used
- Claude (Anthropic), model ID `claude-fable-5` (Fable 5), via Claude
Code with extended thinking and tool use (code execution, file editing).
Original implementation TDD-authored with the same tooling.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents and humans coordinate on issue threads, where
`request_confirmation` cards capture pending decisions; a genuine human
comment on the thread is meant to supersede (cancel) a card.
> - Supersession is keyed on `!comment.authorUserId` — the guard assumes
only real human comments carry a user id.
> - But local-CLI agent heartbeats post comments under user auth, so a
machine comment's `authorUserId` is populated **nondeterministically per
run** (the same agent resolves as `agent` on one run and `user` on
another).
> - As a result an agent's own on-thread comment — or a teammate's, from
a different run — can carry `authorUserId` and silently expire a pending
decision card. A card was observed expiring 7ms after its own automated
comment landed, stranding the decision with no live approval path.
> - This PR switches the discriminator to a durable, deterministic
signal already persisted on every comment — `created_by_run_id` — so
only comments with **no run context** (genuine board-UI comments)
supersede.
> - The benefit: machine-authored comments can never again expire
decision cards, while real human supersession is preserved exactly.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue — describing the bug in-PR.
- **What happened:** A pending `request_confirmation` decision card was
expired by an automated, machine-authored comment on the same thread.
Supersession is keyed on `!comment.authorUserId`, but local-CLI agent
heartbeats post under user auth, so a machine comment's `authorUserId`
is set nondeterministically per run. An agent's own comment (or a
teammate's, from a different run) can therefore carry a user id and
expire a pending card — one was observed expiring 7ms after its own
automated comment landed.
- **Expected behavior:** Only genuine interactive human (board-UI)
comments should supersede pending decision cards. Machine-authored
comments must never expire them, regardless of how the adapter's auth
resolves.
- **Steps to reproduce:** With a pending `request_confirmation` card
(`supersedeOnUserComment: true`), post a comment via a local-CLI agent
run whose actor resolves to `user`; the card expires with outcome
`superseded_by_comment`.
- **Deployment mode:** server (self-hosted), reproduced against
`master`.
Related PRs (same lifecycle area, not duplicates): #6094 (auto-resolve
stale `request_confirmation` interactions) and #8799 (expire ask-user
questions superseded by comments, merged).
## What Changed
- Supersession now fires **only on comments with no run context**
(`created_by_run_id` is null), in both paths:
- `expireRequestConfirmationsSupersededByComment` (live post path) —
early-return when `comment.createdByRunId` is set.
- `expireRequestConfirmationsSupersededByHistoricalComments` (repair
sweep) — query filters `isNull(created_by_run_id)`.
- Mirrors the existing `shouldImplicitlyMoveCommentedIssueToTodo` reopen
guard, which already uses run context to solve the same
nondeterministic-identity problem.
- Adds live + historical regression tests asserting a run-originated
comment under user auth does not supersede a pending card.
## Verification
- Interactions service suite: **27 tests pass (1 file)**, including the
two new regression tests.
- CI: all substantive gates green (Build, General tests, serialized
server suites, Typecheck, e2e, verify, security-review, policy).
- Manual: with a pending card, a comment carrying `created_by_run_id`
leaves it `pending`; a comment with null run context still supersedes
it.
## Risks
- Low risk, narrowly scoped to the supersession discriminator. Human
supersession is preserved (comments with no run context still cancel
cards); only the machine-authored case is closed.
- No schema migration — `created_by_run_id` is already persisted by
`addComment`.
- Alternatives considered: (a) ignore only the assignee's own run —
misses cross-run machine comments; (b) default `supersedeOnUserComment:
false` for agent-created cards — would drop the legitimate "human
comment redirects → cancel the card" behavior. The run-context guard
covers all machine comments while preserving human supersession.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Governed MCP access spans contracts, runtime enforcement, adapters,
UI surfaces, and operator verification
> - The parity reference PR #9534 is too large for effective automated
or human review
> - The feature therefore needs a linear stack whose individual diffs
stay below the 100-file review limit
> - This pull request is split 4/8 and focuses on gateway runtime, Smoke
Lab, plugins, and server wiring
> - The benefit is a standalone, testable review boundary while
preserving byte-for-byte parity at the top of the stack
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Related parity reference: #9534
- Problem: The policy core needs runtime execution, endpoint guards,
route registration, heartbeat integration, and adapter MCP injection to
become operational.
- Proposed solution: Adds the remaining server routes/wiring/consumers,
runtime tests, adapter-utils MCP contracts, and Claude/Codex injection
implementations required by the server layer.
- Alternatives considered: keeping #9534 as one 403-file review, or
rewriting the feature to manufacture seams; both were rejected in favor
of path extraction plus compile-driven boundary moves.
- Roadmap alignment: this advances the existing governed MCP/tool-access
work already represented by #9534; it does not introduce a separate
roadmap initiative.
- Stack position: base branch is `pap10341-split/03-server-tool-access`.
- Merge policy: merge bottom-up, in order, only after the complete
eight-PR stack has been reviewed and the top-of-stack parity gate
remains empty.
- Requested review: SecurityEngineer for gateway, endpoint guard, token
issuance, and runtime wiring; Greptile on every PR.
## What Changed
- Adds the remaining server routes/wiring/consumers, runtime tests,
adapter-utils MCP contracts, and Claude/Codex injection implementations
required by the server layer.
- Keeps this PR below 100 changed files and independently typecheckable.
- Preserves the final tree from #9534 when combined with the other seven
stack levels.
## Verification
- `pnpm typecheck`
- Changed server test set — 26 files, 382 tests passed
- Affected server adapter tests — 38 tests passed after concrete adapter
boundary move
- Adapter-utils and Codex focused tests — 76 tests passed
## Risks
- Remote endpoint validation, token handling, and runtime supervision
are security-sensitive and can fail closed or deny legitimate access if
misconfigured.
- Stack risk: merging out of order can expose incomplete layers;
mitigate by following the documented bottom-up merge policy.
- Parity risk: later edits to an intermediate branch can drift from
#9534; mitigate by re-running the empty top-of-stack diff before merge.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Related parity reference: #9534
- Problem: Authorization, OAuth binding, secret projection, content
guards, and policy evaluation need a security-reviewable server
boundary.

runtime service dependencies directly imported by the core, without
registering the routes in the application.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Its server and UI test suites protect company-scoped plugin access
and instance settings behavior
> - Recent governed-access contracts intentionally added company
invocation scope and new experimental-setting defaults
> - Four existing tests were not updated consistently with those
contracts, causing current-master CI failures unrelated to the changes
under review
> - The runtime behavior is intentional, so changing production code
would weaken the new authorization and settings contracts
> - This pull request aligns the stale tests with current behavior and
removes one UI assertion accidentally pulled forward from a later
stacked feature
> - The benefit is a focused, low-risk repair that restores master CI
without changing application behavior
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- **Bug:** Current master has four regression failures in plugin
authorization, plugin execution-workspace bridging, instance settings
normalization, and experimental settings UI tests.
- **Expected behavior:** Tests provide required company/invocation
scope, use the governed object-shaped secret reference contract, include
all current defaults, and only assert UI controls implemented at this
stack level.
- **Actual behavior:** Tests exercised obsolete request shapes or
expected a later-stack Apps toggle that is not present on current
master.
- **Reproduction:** Run the four test files listed in the Verification
section on master before this commit.
## What Changed
- Updates plugin config authorization coverage to include company scope
and an object-shaped `secret_ref` binding.
- Supplies invocation company scope to execution-workspace host-client
tests.
- Adds `enableApps` and `enableSmokeLab` to normalized settings
expectations.
- Removes the premature Apps toggle UI test introduced without its
later-stack implementation.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/plugin-routes-authz.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/plugin-execution-workspace-bridge.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts
ui/src/pages/InstanceExperimentalSettings.test.tsx` — 73 tests passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/plugins/sdk/tests/host-client-factory.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/plugin-secrets-handler.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts
ui/src/lib/instance-settings.test.ts` — 39 tests passed.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
## Risks
- Low risk: test-only changes with no production runtime, schema, API,
or UI behavior changes.
- The removed Apps toggle assertion should return in the later stacked
change that introduces the actual control.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Related parity reference: #9534
- Problem: The governed access model needs additive persistence and
synchronized shared types before server enforcement can compile.
- Proposed solution: Adds migrations 0148–0169, tool-access and Smoke
Lab schema, shared types/validators/gallery helpers, and the minimal
compile-required contract consumers identified by boundary testing.
- Alternatives considered: keeping #9534 as one 403-file review, or
rewriting the feature to manufacture seams; both were rejected in favor
of path extraction plus compile-driven boundary moves.
- Roadmap alignment: this advances the existing governed MCP/tool-access

## Verification
- `pnpm typecheck` — passed, including migration numbering and safety
checks
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db test` — passed
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared test` — passed
## Risks
- Migration or contract mistakes could affect every upper layer; all
migrations are additive/idempotent and compile consumers are included in
this boundary.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage AI
agents for work
> - Local agent execution uses isolated git worktrees with
worktree-specific config, environment, storage, and ports
> - Legacy worktree repair and runtime-port persistence must mutate only
the worktree they are serving
> - A leaked ambient `PAPERCLIP_IN_WORKTREE=true` could be combined with
config resolution pointing at the default instance
> - The server test suite reproduced that combination and repeatedly
rewrote the live default instance `.env` with its old fixture name
> - Existing PR #3071 guards configs under Paperclip home, but does not
require the target itself to attest worktree ownership and does not
cover runtime-port persistence
> - This pull request requires both a worktree config layout and
target-local persisted worktree attestation before either writer adopts
the target
> - The benefit is that ambient process state can never turn the main
instance into a worktree on its next restart
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related implementation: Refs #3071
**Pre-submission checklist**
- [x] Searched open and closed issues and pull requests; #3071 is the
only direct related implementation.
- [x] Reproduced on current `master` before applying the fix.
- [x] Confirmed the mutation originates in Paperclip's worktree config
repair path.
**What happened?**
A process with leaked `PAPERCLIP_IN_WORKTREE=true` could resolve
`PAPERCLIP_CONFIG` to the default instance and cause worktree repair to
rewrite that instance's `.env`. The recurring trigger was
`server/src/__tests__/worktree-config.test.ts`: an ambient config path
from the developer shell survived into a test whose fixture worktree
name was `PAP-884-ai-commits-component`, explaining the stale name
repeatedly written to the live file.
**Expected behavior**
Worktree repair and worktree runtime-port persistence must mutate a
target only when that target is independently provisioned and persisted
as a worktree. Ambient environment flags alone must never authorize
writes to the default instance or a normal repository-local `.paperclip`
config.
**Steps to reproduce on unpatched `master`**
1. Export `PAPERCLIP_CONFIG` pointing to a default instance config and
set `PAPERCLIP_IN_WORKTREE=true`.
2. Run `server/src/__tests__/worktree-config.test.ts` from that shell.
3. Observe that the default instance `.env` is rewritten with the test
fixture's worktree marker and name.
**Environment**
- Version: `master` at `e4e12bfb8`
- Deployment/install: local source checkout with pnpm
- Adapter: not adapter-specific; core server config
- Database/access context: not applicable
- OS: Linux
**Privacy**
- [x] All paths and values in this description are generic and contain
no credentials or personally identifying data.
## What Changed
- Reject config targets unless their parent directory is the
worktree-specific `.paperclip` layout.
- Require the target's own persisted `.env` to declare
`PAPERCLIP_IN_WORKTREE=true` before repair or runtime-port persistence
can mutate it.
- Scrub ambient `PAPERCLIP_*` variables before every worktree-config
test so developer-machine exports cannot escape test isolation.
- Add regressions for default-instance config poisoning, runtime-port
persistence, and unattested repository-local `.paperclip` targets.
- Preserve valid provisioned worktree behavior by adding persisted
worktree markers to the existing positive fixtures.
## Verification
- `NODE_ENV=test pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/worktree-config.test.ts` — 12 tests passed.
- Branch is based directly on current `origin/master`; only two server
files changed.
- No `pnpm-lock.yaml`, workflow, migration, UI, or generated asset
changes.
## Risks
- Low risk: the new guard intentionally refuses repair for targets that
lack provisioning evidence.
- A manually assembled worktree that sets only ambient flags but never
writes its worktree marker will no longer be auto-repaired; the
supported provisioning path already writes that marker.
- No schema, API, migration, or user-facing command changes.
> This is a focused correctness fix and does not overlap with planned
core work in `ROADMAP.md`.
## Model Used
- Implementation and root-cause investigation: Anthropic Claude through
the `claude_local`/Claude Code runtime, reported by the producing agent
as “Claude Fable 5”; the runtime did not expose a more specific provider
model ID or context-window value. Capabilities used: extended reasoning,
shell tool use, code editing, and test execution.
- PR preparation and verification: OpenAI Codex CLI runtime; the harness
did not expose the exact underlying model ID or context-window value.
Capabilities used: repository inspection, shell tool use, Git/GitHub
operations, and test execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies
> - Operators need to identify the exact build running from the
persistent account menu
> - Formal releases already have a concise public version, but source
builds include a long derived version string
> - The derived version identifies a commit but does not expose the
source branch or a direct path to inspect the code
> - Server Git metadata is auth-sensitive, so the UI must also refresh
it when the current session changes
> - This pull request shows linked branch and commit metadata for source
builds while preserving `v<version>` for formal releases
> - The benefit is faster build diagnosis with correct metadata across
sign-in and sign-out transitions
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Pre-submission checklist
- [x] I searched existing open and closed issues and found no duplicate
implementing this exact account-menu behavior.
- [x] The behavior reproduces on `master`.
- [x] The behavior originates in Paperclip's core UI, not an adapter,
provider, or local configuration.
### What happened?
Source builds displayed the full derived version, such as
`2026.626.0+58.git.518fc71ce`, without linking the operator to the
corresponding source branch or commit.
### Expected behavior
Source builds should show the concise branch and short commit SHA with
links to GitHub, while formal releases should continue showing their
public version. Auth transitions should refresh the health metadata that
supplies those Git details.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Run Paperclip from a commit after a release tag.
2. Open the account menu.
3. Inspect the build label beneath the user identity.
4. Sign in or out and reopen the menu.
### Paperclip version or commit
Any source build whose server version uses the
`<version>+<count>.git.<sha>[.dirty]` format.
### Deployment mode
Local dev (`pnpm dev`) or authenticated deployments.
### Installation method
Built from source.
## What Changed
- Detect source-derived version strings and render the source branch
plus seven-character commit SHA in `SidebarAccountMenu`.
- Link source branches and commits to the canonical
`paperclipai/paperclip` GitHub repository.
- Extend server Git metadata with the full SHA and expose it through
health/OpenAPI contracts.
- Refresh auth-sensitive health metadata after sign-in and every
sign-out entry point.
- Preserve the existing `v<version>` label for formal releases and add
focused regression coverage.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run src/pages/Auth.test.tsx
src/components/SidebarAccountMenu.test.tsx
src/components/SidebarServerInfo.test.tsx`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/health.test.ts src/__tests__/server-info.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `git diff --check public/master...HEAD`
## Risks
- Low risk: formal release rendering retains the existing fallback
behavior when the source-version pattern does not match.
- Source links assume the build came from the canonical public
repository; fork-only branches or commits may not resolve there.
- Health metadata is invalidated after auth transitions, adding one
bounded refetch so the displayed Git details match the new session.

access, shell execution, and code editing; context-window size was not
exposed by the runtime.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies
> - Budgets and spend telemetry are control-plane safety features, not
just reporting
> - Local Codex and Claude adapters can execute through either ACP or
their native CLI engines
> - The ACP lane records usage and reported cost, but CLI JSON output
often reports tokens without a price
> - The CLI lane was either losing per-run usage semantics or coercing
missing cost to zero, making real usage indistinguishable from a
genuinely free run
> - This pull request preserves CLI usage as per-run totals and records
token-bearing runs without a reported price as explicitly unpriced
ledger events
> - The benefit is accurate usage accounting and a visible pricing gap
instead of silently misleading zero-cost telemetry
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #9471
Refs #9230
**Bug description**
A `codex_local` run using the CLI engine can emit a final
`turn.completed` event with millions of input tokens and tens of
thousands of output tokens while the agent's spend ledger remains
indistinguishable from a true zero-usage, zero-cost run. Claude CLI
output has the same missing-price edge case.
**Expected behavior**
Token-bearing CLI runs should persist their usage. If the adapter
reports a price, the ledger should record it as reported; if the CLI
reports usage but no price, the ledger should explicitly mark the event
as unpriced rather than silently treating missing price data as a
reported `$0` cost.
**Reproduction shape**
1. Configure `codex_local` with `engine: cli`.
2. Run a task that produces a `turn.completed` usage payload.
3. Observe token usage in the run stream.
4. Before this change, missing price data is represented as ordinary
zero-cost spend and the CLI usage basis is not consistently propagated.
## What Changed
- Mark Codex and Claude native CLI usage totals as `per_run` and
propagate that basis through success and failure results.
- Stop coercing missing Claude CLI cost to `0`.
- Add `cost_status` to cost events with `reported` and `unpriced`
values, including an idempotent migration and shared validation/types.
- Persist token-bearing runs without a reported price as `unpriced`
ledger events while retaining zero cents until an authoritative price
exists.
- Add parser, execute-path, heartbeat-accounting, and cost-service
regression coverage for both local CLI adapters.
- Document the cost-status invariant and CLI accounting behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/parse.test.ts
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/parse.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/codex-local-execute.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/claude-local-execute.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-cost-accounting.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/costs-service.test.ts` — 6 files / 102 tests
passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` — includes migration
numbering and safety checks.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
## Risks
- Existing cost rows default to `reported`, preserving current
interpretation; only new token-bearing events with absent cost are
marked `unpriced`.
- This change does not invent model pricing. Budget hard stops still
cannot charge an unknown amount, but operators and evals can now
distinguish missing pricing from a genuinely reported zero cost.
- Consumers that enumerate cost-event fields should tolerate the
additive `costStatus` field.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Its PR CI runs the general-server vitest lane pinned to
`maxWorkers=1` and sharded across 3 runners (introduced in #8360)
> - Suites were assigned to shards round-robin by sorted file index, so
shard test time was unbalanced: a recent PR run split 73s / 153s / 115s,
and the heaviest shard made "General tests (server 2/3)" the slowest
check in the whole workflow at 314s wall
> - The slowest shard sets the lane's wall time, so unbalanced
partitions waste the other two runners and stretch the PR critical path
> - This pull request replaces the round-robin assignment with a
deterministic longest-processing-time partition weighted by a checked-in
per-suite duration manifest
> - The benefit is near-even shard weights (projected 113s / 113s / 113s
with the current manifest), taking roughly 40s off the PR critical path
with no reduction in coverage
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Refs #8360 (introduced the 3-way general-server sharding this PR
rebalances)
- No public issue exists. Problem: the general-server test lane's
round-robin shard assignment ignores per-suite duration, so one shard
can carry multiple 30s+ suites while another finishes in half the time;
the slowest shard alone determines the check's wall time.
## What Changed
- `scripts/general-server-shard.mjs` (new): manifest loader and
deterministic LPT (longest-processing-time) partitioner; suites missing
from the manifest get the median recorded weight, and a missing or
malformed manifest degrades to uniform weights so the lane never fails
on stale data
- `scripts/general-server-shard-durations.json` (new): per-suite
duration manifest sampled from a real PR run (240 suites); the
`$comment` field documents how to regenerate it
- `scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs`: both shard-selection sites (run and
`--dry-run`) now use the balanced partition instead of index round-robin
- `scripts/__tests__/run-vitest-stable-shard.test.mjs`: 6 new tests
covering skew-balance vs round-robin, determinism, median fallback for
unlisted suites, malformed-manifest degradation, manifest coverage of
the current suite set, and real-partition balance
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-issue-rewake-throttle.test.ts`:
hardened the `afterEach` sweep — post-run bookkeeping (run-event
records, follow-up wake scheduling) can still insert rows briefly after
a run reaches a terminal status, and a late insert landing between the
`agent_wakeup_requests` and `agents` deletes failed teardown with a
foreign-key violation on the first CI attempt of this PR; the sweep now
retries so a late background write cannot take down the shard
- `release-verify.yml` shares the same runner script and inherits the
balancing with no workflow change
## Verification
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/run-vitest-stable-shard.test.mjs` — 9/9
pass (run against current master)
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/heartbeat-issue-rewake-throttle.test.ts`
— 6/6 pass against embedded Postgres with the hardened teardown
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/release-verify-workflow.test.mjs` — 2/2
pass
- `node scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs --dry-run` with each shard flag
shows every suite assigned exactly once across the 3 shards, with
projected weights ~113s each
## Risks
- Low risk: partition changes which runner executes which suite, not
what runs; a completeness test asserts every suite is assigned to
exactly one shard
- The duration manifest will drift as suites are added/changed; unlisted
suites get the median weight and a coverage test flags when the manifest
covers less than half the suite set, so drift degrades balance
gracefully rather than breaking the lane

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The adapter layer (hermes-local, process adapters) delegates agent
execution to child processes via `runChildProcess()`
> - `runChildProcess()` accepts an `onSpawn` callback to report child
PID and process group info, but the hermes and process adapters were not
forwarding `ctx.onSpawn` to this call
> - Without PID persistence, the orphan reaper cannot distinguish live
runs from abandoned processes, causing false-positive reaps and 5-minute
timeout errors for active runs
> - This pull request adds `onSpawn: ctx.onSpawn` to both adapter call
sites and declares the option in the `runChildProcess` wrapper type
> - The benefit is that the orphan reaper can now correctly track live
child processes, eliminating false-positive reaps
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#8723
Fixes false-positive orphan reaps in hermes-local and process adapters
by forwarding the `onSpawn` callback to `runChildProcess()`. All other
adapters (claude-local, codex-local, cursor-local, gemini-local,
grok-local, opencode-local, pi-local) already forward `ctx.onSpawn` —
these two were the only ones missing it.
## What Changed
- `server/src/adapters/utils.ts`: Added `onSpawn?` to the
`runChildProcess()` options type so callers can forward the callback
- `server/src/adapters/process/execute.ts`: Forward `ctx.onSpawn` to
`runChildProcess()`
- `packages/adapters/hermes/src/server/execute.ts`: Forward
`ctx.onSpawn` to `runChildProcess()`
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes across all packages
- Confirmed all other adapters already forward `ctx.onSpawn` (12 grep
matches across 9 adapter files)
- The 3-line diff is additive only — no existing behavior is changed,
only a previously-ignored callback is now forwarded
## Risks
Low risk. This is a 3-line additive change. The `onSpawn` parameter is
optional (`?`) so existing callers are unaffected. The callback is
already well-established across all other adapters.
## Model Used
Hermes Agent (by Nous Research) — xiaomi/mimo-v2.5-pro via OpenRouter,

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip coordinates AI-agent work through repeated heartbeat runs.
> - Adapter prompts combine a default heartbeat template with scoped
wake context.
> - Fresh heartbeats received the same execution contract from both
layers, wasting prompt tokens and obscuring which layer owns the
contract.
> - Resume deltas and template-less adapters do not share that
composition path, so removing the wake-payload copy unconditionally
would drop required guidance.
> - Empty comment batches also emitted instructions and metadata that
only matter when comments exist.
> - This pull request makes execution-contract inclusion explicit by
prompt path, preserves OpenClaw gateway behavior, and suppresses no-op
comment boilerplate.
> - The benefit is one contract per heartbeat path and roughly 300 fewer
prompt tokens on a fresh zero-comment wake.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Fixes#9221
- Refs #9200
- Refs #7634
## What Changed
- Stop emitting the execution-contract paragraph from fresh scoped wake
payloads because the default heartbeat template already contains the
full contract.
- Keep the contract in resume deltas, and add `includeExecutionContract`
for adapters that do not render the default heartbeat template.
- Opt `openclaw-gateway` into wake-payload contract rendering so
template-less gateway runs retain the guidance.
- Omit comment-batch acknowledgement/fetch guidance and empty `pending
comments` / `latest comment id` metadata when a fresh wake has no
pending comments.
- Add regression and acceptance coverage proving composed fresh prompts
contain `Execution contract` exactly once while resume and template-less
paths retain it.
Measured effect: the fresh zero-comment wake block drops from 1,840 to
855 characters (about 300 tokens saved per fresh heartbeat; about 220 on
comment wakes), and the composed fresh prompt contains `Execution
contract` once instead of twice.
## Verification

passed

## Risks
- Low risk: prompt text and adapter composition only; no database or API
migration.
- The main compatibility risk is a template-less adapter losing the
contract. The explicit option and OpenClaw gateway regression coverage
protect the known template-less path.
- External adapters that call `renderPaperclipWakePrompt` directly can
opt into `includeExecutionContract: true` when they do not render the
default template.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to coordinate
AI agents and their work
> - Heartbeat admission decides when an agent should start another
adapter session for an issue
> - After process-loss recovery, assignment pollers and reconcilers can
repeatedly request another wake while the issue remains `in_progress`
> - When the preceding runs succeeded without issue-visible progress,
those event-free wakes provide no new information but still pay the full
cost of an adapter session
> - Existing liveness evidence is too broad for this case because
workspace tool calls can make a run look active without moving the issue
> - This pull request adds an issue-scoped admission throttle for
consecutive no-progress re-wakes while preserving every wake that
carries new information or recovery intent
> - The benefit is bounded recovery cost without delaying comments,
operator actions, failures, or other meaningful events
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this bug.
**What happened?**
After a process died, external wake drivers could re-wake the same agent
for the same `in_progress` issue every few seconds. Each succeeded run
that produced no issue-visible progress could be followed by another
full adapter session despite no new issue input. In the observed
recovery smoke, one recovery consumed 25 sessions and 2.4× the
direct-run cost.
**Expected behavior**
Repeated event-free re-wakes should back off after consecutive
successful runs produce no issue-visible progress. Any new information,
explicit operator intent, or failed-run recovery should continue
immediately.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start an issue heartbeat and simulate process loss while the issue
remains `in_progress`.
2. Allow assignment/reconciliation drivers to request repeated
event-free wakes for the same agent and issue.
3. Complete each follow-up run successfully without adding a comment,
issue mutation, document, work product, interaction, or continuation.
4. Observe repeated adapter sessions starting every few seconds without
new issue input.
**Environment**
- Version: reproduced on `master` before this change
- Deployment: local development, built from source
- Adapter scope: core bug; not adapter-specific
- Database: reproduced and tested with embedded Postgres
## What Changed
- Add a pure issue re-wake throttle that detects consecutive succeeded
runs without issue-visible progress and applies a 120-second exponential
cooldown capped at 30 minutes.
- Gate event-free `enqueueWakeup` requests and return the explicit skip
reason `issue_rewake_throttled` while the cooldown is active.
- Always bypass throttling for comment wakes, new issue activity,
explicit resumes, `forceFreshSession`, event-shaped reasons, and
post-failure recovery.
- Add focused pure unit coverage and database-backed heartbeat admission
coverage for throttle and bypass behavior.
## Verification
- `cd server && pnpm vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-rewake-throttle.test.ts` — 12 passed.
- `cd server && pnpm vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-issue-rewake-throttle.test.ts` — 6 passed with
embedded Postgres.
- `cd server && pnpm run typecheck` — passed.
- Neighbor suites previously verified:
`heartbeat-dependency-scheduling`, `heartbeat-process-recovery`,
`run-continuations`, `heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation`,
`recovery-stale-issue-lock-sweep`, and `heartbeat-comment-wake-batching`
— 131 tests passed.
## Risks
- A progress classifier that is too narrow could defer a legitimate
event-free poll; the cooldown is bounded and new issue activity bypasses
it immediately.
- A progress classifier that is too broad could allow the original
heartbeat storm; tests intentionally distinguish issue-visible mutations
from workspace-only activity.
- Low compatibility risk: no schema, API contract, or migration changes.

underlying model ID or context-window size; reasoning, terminal tool
use, code inspection, GitHub CLI access, and test execution were
enabled.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane for running and governing
AI-agent companies.
> - Adapter executions feed token usage, billing identity, and run cost
into the control plane's spend telemetry.
> - The default ACP execution lane for local Claude and Codex adapters
did not propagate per-turn usage or cost, so paid runs could be recorded
with zero spend and no tokens.
> - Claude CLI result events could also undercount output tokens by
reading only the main-loop usage block instead of the complete per-model
ledger.
> - The shared executor needs to distinguish per-run usage from
session-cumulative usage so the server does not apply the wrong delta
heuristic.
> - This pull request captures ACP usage and cumulative-cost deltas,
resolves adapter billing identity, uses Claude's complete model-usage
ledger, and preserves per-run usage in server normalization.
> - The benefit is accurate token and cost accounting across the default
paid Claude and Codex execution paths.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### What happened?
Paid `claude_local` and `codex_local` runs using the default ACP engine
can complete successfully while the control plane records zero or null
cost and missing token usage. Claude CLI result parsing can additionally
undercount output tokens when subagent or sidechain usage is present.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Run a paid Claude or Codex local adapter through the ACP engine.
2. Complete a turn that reports usage and cumulative cost through ACP
status/events.
3. Inspect the execution result and normalized run telemetry.
### Expected behavior
The execution result contains per-turn token usage, a per-run USD cost
delta, and the correct billing identity. Server normalization records
those per-run values without applying a session-cumulative delta a
second time.
### Actual behavior before this change
ACP execution results returned no usage and `costUsd: null` with unknown
billing. The server therefore recorded zero spend and no tokens for paid
runs. Claude CLI parsing could use an incomplete usage block.
## What Changed
- Capture ACP usage from runtime status and `usage_update` events,
reporting it as `usageBasis: per_run`.
- Convert agent-reported cumulative ACP cost into a per-turn delta,
including counter-reset and no-report safeguards.
- Add a shared billing-identity resolver and map Claude and Codex
authentication/provider modes to control-plane billing types.
- Prefer Claude result-event `modelUsage` totals so subagent and
sidechain tokens are included.
- Skip the server's session-cumulative usage delta when an adapter
explicitly reports per-run usage.
- Add regression coverage for usage capture, event fallback, cost
resets, stale reports, billing identities, model-usage totals, and
server spend normalization.
## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- A broader Claude-local suite has a pre-existing rate-limit
classification failure in `test.probe.test.ts`; it also fails on clean
`master` and is unrelated to this change.
## Risks
- Cost reporting depends on the agent's cumulative counter semantics;
reset handling falls back to the post-turn amount and is covered by
regression tests.
- Incorrect billing-mode inference could misclassify spend;
provider/auth mappings mirror each adapter's existing CLI behavior and
have focused tests.
- The new `usageBasis` contract changes server normalization only when
adapters explicitly opt into `per_run`; existing adapters retain prior
behavior.
- No database migration, workflow, lockfile, or UI changes are included.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI-agent
companies and their recurring work
> - Scheduled routines provide native cron-driven execution for
recurring agent tasks
> - Watcher-style routines currently dispatch a model run even when the
control plane has been quiet since their last useful run
> - Existing pause, catch-up, and concurrency policies do not
distinguish external work from a routine's own bookkeeping
> - This pull request adds a generic activity gate that checks
company-scoped activity provenance before scheduled dispatch
> - The benefit is backward-compatible zero-token quiet skips while real
human, agent, or delegated-child activity still wakes the routine
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Refs #8534
## What Changed
- Added `activity_gate_policy` and `activity_gate_scope` routine columns
with backward-compatible `always` / `company` defaults.
- Added a company-bounded `evaluateActivityGate()` predicate that uses
the last dispatched run as its open window, excludes the routine's own
execution runs and scheduler bookkeeping, ignores pure-read actions, and
supports company/project scope.
- Integrated the predicate into scheduled ticks after pause/worktree
eligibility checks; quiet ticks create visible skipped run-history rows
with reason `no_external_activity` and gate-window diagnostics without
advancing the activity window.
- Kept webhook, manual, and API dispatch paths ungated; catch-up
schedules evaluate the gate once per scheduler tick.
- Added migration-default, provenance predicate, project-scope,
quiet-window, scheduler, and webhook-bypass coverage.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/routines-service.test.ts` —
51 tests passed
- Embedded Postgres `EXPLAIN` for the company-scope gate scan:
```text
Limit (cost=24.56..24.58 rows=1 width=24)
-> Incremental Sort (cost=24.56..24.60 rows=2 width=24)
Sort Key: activity.created_at, activity.id
Presorted Key: activity.created_at
-> Nested Loop Anti Join (cost=0.44..24.55 rows=1 width=24)
Join Filter: (own_run.id = activity.run_id)
-> Index Scan using activity_log_company_created_idx on activity_log activity (cost=0.15..8.19 rows=1 width=40)
Index Cond: ((company_id = '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001'::uuid) AND (created_at > (now() - '01:00:00'::interval)) AND (created_at <= now()))
```
## Risks
- The migration adds two non-null text columns, but constant defaults
preserve all existing routine behavior and avoid a backfill step.
- Project scope resolves activity through issue/run/routine provenance;
tests cover in-project and cross-project issue activity, while every
top-level and correlated query remains company-bounded.
- This is the scheduler/schema foundation. Public API validation and
documentation for configuring the new fields are intentionally handled
in the next scoped follow-up.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Execution workspaces can run managed services that must report
reliable lifecycle and readiness state
> - Service startup previously waited for readiness before committing
the starting row, making concurrent control actions see stale state
> - Fixed service ports also needed clearer configuration and ownership
diagnostics to avoid cross-workspace collisions
> - This pull request persists startup state before readiness, validates
port ownership, and exposes configurable service ports in the workspace
UI
> - The benefit is dependable service controls and actionable
diagnostics when workspace runtimes start slowly or compete for ports
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### What happened?
Slow-starting workspace services could remain invisible to concurrent
stop/restart controls until readiness completed, and fixed-port
conflicts lacked enough ownership context for safe repair.
### Expected behavior
A starting service is persisted immediately, control operations can
observe it, configured ports are editable, and conflicts identify the
owning process/workspace.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Configure a workspace service that delays binding its HTTP port.
2. Start the service and immediately request another control action.
3. Observe stale persisted state before this change.
4. Configure two workspaces for the same fixed port and observe limited
conflict diagnostics.
### Paperclip version or commit
`origin/master` at `02e2dd271`
### Deployment mode
Local dev; built from source; not adapter-specific; database-backed
workspace runtime state.
## What Changed
- Commit the `starting` runtime-service row before waiting for readiness
and transition it after the probe completes.
- Add port-owner inspection and cross-workspace conflict details to
local service supervision.
- Preserve configurable runtime service ports through workspace
configuration updates.
- Surface service-port editing and validation in the execution workspace
details UI.
- Add server and UI regression coverage for slow readiness, concurrent
controls, port persistence, and conflict diagnostics.
## Verification
- `vitest --project @paperclipai/server
src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts
src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts` — 118 tests passed.
- `vitest --project @paperclipai/ui
src/pages/ExecutionWorkspaceDetail.service-ports.test.ts` — 4 tests
passed.
- `node scripts/check-token-gates.mjs` — all token gates clean.
## Risks
- Moderate risk: changes touch workspace service lifecycle persistence
and local process/port inspection.
- No schema migration is required; tests exercise slow readiness,
concurrent control, persisted ports, and cross-workspace conflicts.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server startup path reports the product version from package
metadata and, in source checkouts, Git metadata.
> - Packaged installs can run from `node_modules`, where Git metadata is
normally unavailable and that absence is expected.
> - The fallback path was still attempting Git metadata probing in
packaged contexts, which could print scary diagnostic noise during
onboarding even though the package version fallback was working.
> - This pull request makes the packaged path skip Git probing only when
the package does not look like a source checkout, and keeps fallback
diagnostics opt-in.
> - The benefit is a quieter first-run experience without weakening
source-checkout version detection or debug diagnostics.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists.
### Bug Report
#### Pre-submission checklist
- [x] I have searched existing open and closed issues and this is not a
duplicate.
- [x] I am on the latest released version of Paperclip or can reproduce
on `master`.
- [x] I have confirmed the error originates in Paperclip itself, not in
an agent adapter, API provider, or local configuration.
#### What happened?
When Paperclip starts from a packaged install, server version resolution
can fall back from Git metadata to package metadata. That expected
fallback path could emit scary Git diagnostic noise during onboarding
even though startup could continue normally.
#### Expected behavior
Packaged Paperclip startup should use package metadata quietly when Git
metadata is unavailable. Source checkouts should still use Git-derived
versions, and operators who explicitly opt into version-resolution
diagnostics should still receive useful Git failure details.
#### Steps to reproduce
1. Run Paperclip from a packaged install where the server package is
under `node_modules` and does not include package-local Git metadata.
2. Start the server in an environment where `git describe` cannot
resolve repository metadata for that package.
3. Observe that version fallback can produce Git diagnostic noise during
startup even though the package version fallback is expected.
#### Paperclip version or commit
Reproduced against the pre-fix server version resolution behavior on
`master`-derived builds.
#### Deployment mode
Self-hosted server / packaged local install.
#### Installation method
npm / pnpm package install.
#### Agent adapter(s) involved
Not adapter-specific; this is core server startup/version behavior.
#### Database mode
Not database-related.
#### Access context
Unclear / not applicable.
#### Relevant logs or output
Git fallback diagnostics from `git describe` could appear during
packaged startup. The exact path and Git output depend on the operator
environment.
#### Additional context
The fix keeps diagnostics available behind
`PAPERCLIP_DEBUG_VERSION_RESOLUTION=1` and preserves source-checkout Git
version detection, including source paths that happen to contain a
`node_modules` segment.
#### Privacy checklist
- [x] I have reviewed all pasted output for PII and redacted where
necessary.
## What Changed
- Skip Git metadata probing for packaged installs under `node_modules`
only when no package-local Git metadata is present.
- Preserve Git-derived version detection for source or linked workspace
checkouts, even when their path contains a `node_modules` segment.
- Keep fallback diagnostics behind the existing debug/diagnostic opt-in
path.
- Include useful Git failure details such as stderr/stdout/stack/cause
when diagnostics are enabled.
- Add version tests covering packaged fallback behavior, source-checkout
detection, richer diagnostics, and quiet default output.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/version.test.ts` passed after
the Greptile follow-up changes.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passed.
- `git diff --check` passed.
- Greptile completed with confidence score 5/5 and no blocking issues on
the latest reviewed commit.
## Risks
Low risk. The change is scoped to version fallback behavior.
Source-checkout Git version detection remains covered, while packaged
`node_modules` contexts intentionally rely on package metadata instead
of Git probing.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent adapters (Claude, Codex, Gemini) default to the ACP engine
lane, which needs a live bidirectional stdio session with the agent
process
> - Sandbox execution targets only exposed one-shot command execution,
so every ACP-capable adapter refused remote targets and fell back to the
CLI lane with a "supports only the local Paperclip host" warning
> - Running agents in sandboxes is a core deployment mode, and losing
ACP there means losing streaming updates, structured events, and
default-lane parity with local runs
> - This pull request adds a provider-agnostic process-session bridge
that relays the ACP stdio session into the sandbox over the existing
sandbox runner contract, and updates the adapters to use it
> - The benefit is that the default ACP lane now behaves the same on the
local host and in any sandbox provider, with CLI fallback reserved for
targets that genuinely cannot host a bidirectional session
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing public issue covers this; inline description following the
feature request template:
**Problem or motivation**
Configuring an ACP-capable adapter (e.g. Claude) with a sandbox
environment made every run fall back to the CLI lane with the warning
"Claude ACP currently supports only the local Paperclip host, but this
run targets a remote environment." The ACP engine only knew how to spawn
a local subprocess, while sandbox providers only expose one-shot command
execution — so there was no way to hold the bidirectional stdio session
ACP requires.
**Proposed solution**
Add a process-session bridge in `adapter-utils`: a local ACPX-spawnable
proxy script connects to a token-authenticated loopback TCP server,
which relays JSON-framed stdin/stdout/stderr events to and from a small
relay script executed inside the sandbox via the provider's ordinary
runner. Claude/Codex/Gemini adapters now treat sandbox targets with a
runner as ACP-capable, resolve agent commands against the remote target,
and fall back to CLI only when the sandbox exposes no bidirectional
path. The sandbox callback bridge injects a run-scoped API endpoint and
bridge token so the agent inside the sandbox can reach Paperclip
(including work-product handoffs) without ever receiving the host run
JWT.
**Alternatives considered**
A provider-specific lane was prototyped first: Daytona minting SSH
access metadata at lease time, converted into an SSH execution target.
It was dropped because it only worked for providers able to advertise
SSH, added per-provider surface area, and left every other sandbox
provider on the CLI fallback. The merged design rides the one-shot
runner contract all providers already implement; a regression test pins
that sandbox targets stay on the bridge lane even when lease metadata
advertises SSH access.
**Roadmap alignment**
Directly advances the "Cloud / Sandbox agents" roadmap item — agents
running in remote and sandboxed environments keep the same control-plane
behavior as local ones. No overlap with other planned core work.
## What Changed
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target.ts`: new
`startAdapterExecutionTargetProcessSessionBridge()` plus helpers —
writes a token-authenticated local proxy script (spawnable by ACPX) and
a remote relay script synced into the sandbox, with a loopback TCP
server streaming JSON-framed stdio between them; events emitted before
the ACP client attaches are buffered so none are lost.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.ts`: the ACP engine
can execute against remote sandbox targets through the bridge instead of
requiring a local subprocess, including remote cwd/env shaping.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-callback-bridge.ts`:
sandbox-scoped API bridging extended to allow work-product handoffs; the
sandbox payload env carries a bridge token, never the host run JWT.
- `packages/adapters/claude-local`, `codex-local`, `gemini-local`
(`src/server/acp.ts`): default-lane selection no longer rejects all
remote targets; command resolution is remote-aware
(`ensureAdapterExecutionTargetCommandResolvable`,
`resolveAdapterExecutionTargetCwd`); the fallback reason is now scoped
to sandboxes that expose only one-shot execution.
- `server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target.test.ts`: pins that
sandbox targets resolve to the bridge lane, including when lease
metadata advertises SSH access.
- Non-sandbox remote targets (e.g. SSH) keep the CLI lane: the ACP
engine's remote transport is sandbox-only, so default-lane selection
falls back for those targets across all three adapters, and tests
covering CLI-specific remote behavior pin `engine: "cli"` explicitly.
- The bridge authenticates loopback connections before they can own the
session or receive buffered output (token required, idle unauthenticated
peers dropped), and remote event writes are serialized so the exit event
always lands after stdout/stderr have drained.
- Daytona plugin: formatting-only residue from the earlier iteration; no
functional change.
## Verification
- `vitest run` over the touched suites —
`packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts`,
`packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target-sandbox.test.ts`,
`packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-callback-bridge.test.ts`, the three
adapter `acp.test.ts` files, and
`server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target.test.ts` — 102 tests
pass.
- End to end: with a Claude agent configured on a Daytona sandbox
environment, the primary-model test now selects the default ACP lane (no
fallback warning), and the full round trip (wake → sandbox execution →
API bridge → comment post) was exercised twice from inside a live
sandbox.
## Risks
- Behavioral shift: adapters that previously always fell back to CLI on
sandbox targets now default to ACP there; `engine=cli` still pins the
CLI lane explicitly.
- The bridge relays stdio as JSON lines over loopback TCP guarded by a
per-session random token; the remote relay runs inside the sandbox under
the provider's runner. Providers with slow one-shot execution will see
higher session startup latency — the CLI fallback remains for genuinely
incapable targets.
- No schema or migration changes.
## Model Used
- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`, Anthropic) — extended thinking
enabled, agentic tool use via the Claude Agent SDK harness;
implementation iterated with local Vitest verification.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for autonomous AI companies, where
operators need a reliable way to find and act on work awaiting their
input.
> - The attention and issue-thread interaction subsystems expose those
decision points across server APIs and the board UI.
> - The previous navigation and interaction presentation left these
actions fragmented and did not offer a controlled rollout for the
Decisions surface.
> - This branch adds the attention feed, richer interaction cards,
grouping, dismiss/snooze behavior, and a gated Decisions sidebar entry.
> - It also keeps experimental settings and API contracts synchronized,
with an idempotent migration for the new dismissal state.
> - This pull request delivers the complete, tested attention/Decisions
experience as one reviewable unit.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Adds an operator-focused attention queue and Decisions experience:
grouped decision cards, semantic interaction actions, dismiss/snooze
handling, resilient interaction states, and an experimental flag to
control the Decisions navigation entry.
## Feature Context
### Problem or Motivation
Operators currently have to hunt across approvals, interactions, failed
runs, and budget alerts to find decisions that need their action.
### Proposed Solution
Provide a gated Decisions attention queue that groups actionable items,
supports direct resolution, and preserves operator control through
dismiss and snooze actions.
### Alternatives Considered
Keep separate, source-specific views only; this leaves cross-cutting
operator decisions fragmented and harder to prioritize.
### Roadmap Alignment
This improves the V1 control-plane operator workflow by making pending
governed actions discoverable in one company-scoped surface.
## What Changed
- Added server attention-feed services, routes, interaction handling,
dismiss/snooze support, and an idempotent `0145` inbox-dismissal
migration.
- Added shared attention, inbox-dismissal, and experimental-settings
contracts.
- Added Decisions/attention UI, interaction-card states, sidebar
badge/navigation integration, grouping, keyboard support, and Storybook
coverage.
- Added tests for attention behavior, thread interactions, settings
normalization, dismissals, and API behavior.
- Removed generated screenshots from the final PR diff and rebased the
branch onto current `master`.
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/shared/src/issue-thread-interactions.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/attention-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/inbox-dismissals.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interactions-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interaction-routes.test.ts
ui/src/lib/attention.test.ts
ui/src/components/AttentionQueueRow.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssueThreadInteractionCard.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/InstanceExperimentalSettings.test.tsx` — passed: 158 tests
across 9 focused files.
- GitHub Actions for `ad636f560`: build and typecheck/release-registry
have passed; remaining general-server and Greptile checks are in
progress.
## Risks
- Moderate: this is a cross-layer attention/interaction feature with a
new migration and navigation behavior.
- The `enableDecisions` experimental setting defaults to off, limiting
rollout impact.
- Existing dismissal data is backfilled to `dismiss`; the migration is
idempotent and uses guarded constraint creation.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandbox environments can capture reusable custom images (provider
snapshots) so agents boot with pre-installed tools and CLI logins
> - The custom-image runtime fingerprint check included provider
secret-ref paths (e.g. the Daytona `apiKey`), while capture-time
fingerprinting excluded them, so any config carrying a credential never
matched its captured snapshot
> - As a result, agent config tests and environment probes silently
booted the provider base image instead of the snapshot, test sandboxes
were deleted before operators could inspect them, and any environment
save orphaned the snapshot without warning
> - The UI compounded the confusion by displaying an internal template
id that matches nothing in the provider dashboard
> - This pull request aligns runtime fingerprints with capture-time
exclusions, re-stamps fingerprints on saves that cannot affect the
snapshot (warning when they can), archives test/probe sandboxes instead
of deleting them, and surfaces the provider snapshot ref in the UI
> - The benefit is that custom images actually apply to config tests and
probes, survive unrelated config edits, and are debuggable against the
provider dashboard
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this; describing it in-PR per the bug
template. Related: Refs #9329 (saved-environment probe company context —
this branch carries an equivalent fix), Refs #8794 (introduced reusable
sandbox custom images).
**What happened?**
With a Daytona environment whose provider config stores the API key as a
secret reference and an active captured custom-image snapshot:
- Agent config tests and environment probes booted the provider base
image (`daytonaio/sandbox:0.8.0`) instead of the captured snapshot, so
CLI upgrades/logins baked into the snapshot were missing and the probe
reported "login required" and an outdated CLI.
- The environment card showed an internal template id (e.g.
`b5be03e1-ca5…`) that does not correspond to any snapshot name in the
provider dashboard, making the active image impossible to correlate.
- Test/probe sandboxes were deleted immediately after the run, so the
sandbox a test used could not be inspected afterwards.
- Saving the environment config (even fields unrelated to the image)
changed the stored fingerprint, silently detaching the snapshot with no
warning.
**Expected behavior**
Config tests and probes boot the captured snapshot when one is active;
the UI shows the provider-facing snapshot/template ref; test sandboxes
stay inspectable for a short window; unrelated config edits keep the
snapshot linked, and edits that genuinely invalidate it produce an
explicit warning.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Configure a sandbox environment on Daytona with the API key stored as
a company secret reference.
2. Capture a custom image snapshot from the environment page and mark it
active (e.g. after installing/logging into a CLI in the setup sandbox).
3. Run the agent config test or an environment probe: the sandbox boots
the base image, not the snapshot, and the sandbox is deleted immediately
after the test.
4. Save the environment config with an unrelated field change: the
snapshot silently stops applying.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at the merge-base of this branch.
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted local instance (macOS, pnpm dev server) with the Daytona
sandbox provider plugin.
## What Changed
- Runtime custom-image fingerprint checks now exclude provider
secret-ref paths, matching capture-time exclusions, so configs carrying
credentials match their captured snapshots
(`environment-custom-image-runtime.ts`).
- Agent config tests and saved-environment probes force fresh,
non-reused sandboxes and pass company context so lease-backed probes can
resolve company secrets and boot the real snapshot
(`environment-probe.ts`, `routes/agents.ts`, `routes/environments.ts`).
- Test/probe sandboxes are released by archiving (stop + 60-minute
provider-side auto-delete) instead of immediate deletion, so operators
can inspect the exact sandbox a test used (Daytona plugin).
- On environment PATCH save, changes that cannot affect the captured
snapshot re-stamp the template's source fingerprint so the snapshot
stays linked; boot-source or provider-identity changes (new manifest
field `templateIdentityPaths`) mark the template detached and the save
response reports it (`environment-custom-images.ts`, shared plugin
types/validators).
- The custom-image overview exposes `activeTemplateMatchesConfig`; the
environments UI shows the provider snapshot/template ref (internal id
moved to a tooltip), warns via toast when a save detaches the snapshot,
and shows a persistent "Not in use" warning when the active template no
longer matches the saved config (`CompanyEnvironments.tsx`,
`api/environments.ts`).
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-custom-images-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-probe.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/agent-test-environment-routes.test.ts` — server
coverage for fingerprint exclusions, re-stamp/detach on save, probe
company context, and fresh-sandbox test behavior.
- `pnpm vitest run
packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/src/plugin.test.ts` —
archive-on-release and snapshot ref handling.
- `pnpm vitest run ui/src/pages/CompanyEnvironments.test.tsx` — snapshot
ref display, detach toast, and "Not in use" warning.
- Manually verified end-to-end on a live self-hosted instance against
real Daytona: config test boots the captured snapshot (CLI login and
version persist), the test sandbox remains visible in the provider
dashboard as archived, and saving unrelated fields keeps the snapshot
applied.
## Risks
- Fingerprint exclusion widening: a provider credential rotation alone
no longer detaches a captured snapshot; that is the intended behavior
(the snapshot content does not depend on the credential), and
provider-identity fields (e.g. Daytona `apiUrl`) still detach via
`templateIdentityPaths`.
- Archived test sandboxes consume provider-side resources for up to
their auto-delete window instead of being freed immediately; bounded (60
minutes) and only for test/probe sandboxes.
- New optional manifest field `templateIdentityPaths` is
backward-compatible; providers that omit it keep current matching
behavior.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open-source control plane people use to manage AI
agents and their work.
> - Its scheduler, routines, and heartbeat services decide when agents
automatically begin work.
> - Experimental per-worktree execution is useful for isolated
development, but enabling it previously allowed automatic services to
consider an existing backlog.
> - A worktree activation must therefore create a durable eligibility
boundary rather than merely toggle execution on.
> - This pull request records an activation cutoff and applies it
consistently to automatic routine and heartbeat dispatch.
> - The result is that an enabled worktree executes only work created
after its own activation, while non-worktree behavior remains unchanged.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Problem type:** Bug / safety regression
**Summary:** Enabling experimental run execution in an existing worktree
could start automatic scheduler, routine, watchdog, and heartbeat
activity for work created before that worktree was explicitly armed.
**Expected behavior:** A worktree that has execution enabled only
considers automatically dispatched work created on or after its
activation timestamp. Ambiguous activation state fails closed.
Non-worktree instances keep their existing behavior.
**Related public work:** Refs #8275 (runtime worktree policy gating);
this PR adds an activation-time boundary for automatic execution rather
than changing the general runtime policy.
## What Changed
- Persist a worktree execution activation timestamp and originating
instance ID; stamp them only when the experimental toggle changes from
disabled to enabled.
- Resolve activation state fail-closed when the cutoff is missing,
invalid, disabled, or belongs to another instance.
- Gate automatic routine scheduling, webhooks, watchdog activity, and
heartbeat selection at the activation cutoff; manual runs remain
available.
- Share the canonical worktree truthy-environment helper across routine
dispatch and agent inbox filtering.
- Add cutoff and truthy-runtime regression coverage, plus
experimental-settings UI states that explain armed and suppressed
execution.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/routines-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts` — passes: 2
files, 60 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passes.
- Existing CI completed successfully before the follow-up review fixes;
this branch was rebased onto the latest `origin/master` before
retesting.
## Risks
- **Behavioral:** Automatic worktree execution is intentionally more
restrictive; pre-existing work is suppressed until newly created after
activation.
- **Operational:** A malformed or cross-instance activation record fails
closed, requiring an operator to disable and re-enable the experimental
toggle on the intended worktree.
- **Compatibility:** The worktree environment now accepts all canonical
truthy values (`1`, `true`, `yes`, and `on`) consistently; non-worktree
instances are unaffected.
- **Branch metadata:** This existing execution-workspace branch predates
the current naming rule and cannot be renamed under this task's
workspace contract; the code and PR title do not include internal ticket
references.
> `ROADMAP.md` was checked; this targeted execution-safety fix does not
duplicate planned core work.
## Model Used
- Anthropic Claude Code — assisted with the original implementation;
exact model identifier and context window were not recorded in the
repository metadata.
- OpenAI Codex CLI — assisted with PR preparation and review fixes;
exact model identifier and context window are not exposed in this
execution environment. Used with terminal tooling, code editing, and
targeted test execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Its server fronts every API route — including Better Auth sign-in —
with Express middleware, and #9190 added an `apiCompression` middleware
that gzips JSON responses over 1KB
> - That middleware buffers `res.write()` chunks with `String(chunk)`,
but Better Auth (via better-call) streams `Uint8Array` chunks and
commits headers with `writeHead()` before streaming
> - `String(Uint8Array)` serializes the body to comma-separated decimal
bytes (~3.4x inflation), and once the inflated body crossed the 1KB
threshold, `setHeader()` threw `ERR_HTTP_HEADERS_SENT` and the catch
handler destroyed the socket
> - Every real browser sends `Accept-Encoding: gzip`, so sign-in
returned zero bytes (`net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE` / "Failed to fetch"),
while curl without `Accept-Encoding` worked — making the bug easy to
misdiagnose as a client or network issue
> - This pull request makes the middleware byte-safe for `Uint8Array`
chunks, passes through responses whose headers are already committed,
and falls back to the uncompressed body instead of destroying the
connection when compression fails
> - The benefit is that browser sign-in (and any other streamed
binary-chunk response) works again for gzip-accepting clients, with
regression tests locking in all three behaviors
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #9190 (introduced the `apiCompression` middleware).
No public GitHub issue exists; bug description:
- **What happened:** Sign-in from any real browser failed with
`net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE` / "Failed to fetch". The server logged
`ERR_HTTP_HEADERS_SENT` from the compression middleware and destroyed
the response socket, so zero bytes reached the client.
- **Expected:** `/api/auth/*` responses are delivered intact regardless
of the client's `Accept-Encoding`.
- **Steps to reproduce:** Run the server with API compression active,
open the web UI in a browser (which sends `Accept-Encoding: gzip`), and
attempt email/password sign-in. The auth response body exceeds ~300
bytes, so after the ~3.4x stringification inflation it crosses the
1024-byte compression threshold and the response is destroyed. `curl`
without `Accept-Encoding` succeeds against the same server.
- **Scope:** Any route that streams `Uint8Array` chunks and/or commits
headers via `writeHead()` before writing — in practice all Better Auth
routes served through better-call.
## What Changed
- `server/src/middleware/api-compression.ts`:
- Buffer `res.write()` chunks with a `toBodyBuffer()` helper that
converts `Uint8Array`/`ArrayBuffer` views via `Buffer.from()` instead of
`String()`, so binary chunks are preserved byte-for-byte.
- Pass responses through untouched once headers are already sent
(`writeHead()`-style streaming), since compression headers can no longer
be set at that point.
- On any compression failure, write the original uncompressed body
instead of calling `res.destroy()`, so clients get a valid (just
uncompressed) response rather than a dropped connection.
- `server/src/__tests__/api-compression.test.ts`: three new regression
tests — small `writeHead`+`Uint8Array` responses are delivered
byte-for-byte, large ones no longer drop the connection, and
`Uint8Array` JSON bodies gzip without corruption (includes
`/api/auth-bridge` and `/api/uint8-json` test routes mirroring
better-call's streaming pattern).
## Verification
- `cd server && pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/api-compression.test.ts` —
10/10 passing (7 pre-existing + 3 new regression tests).
- Manual: with the fix, browser sign-in against a dev instance succeeds
for gzip-accepting clients; before the fix the same request returned
`net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE`.
## Risks
- Low risk. The middleware still compresses large text/JSON responses
exactly as before; the changes only affect paths that previously
produced corrupted or destroyed responses.
- Behavioral shift: responses whose headers were already committed are
now delivered uncompressed instead of being (incorrectly) buffered —
this is strictly less surprising than the previous corrupted output.
- Failure-path shift: a compression error now yields an uncompressed 200
response instead of a dropped connection.
## Model Used
- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`, Anthropic), extended thinking
enabled, running via Claude Code / Paperclip agent harness with tool use
(shell, file edit, test execution).

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The heartbeat/recovery subsystem decides whether an agent run has a
durable continuation path after the process stops.
> - External waits need stricter semantics than local background
watchers: a killed local process is not durable, while a first-class
blocker/monitor/scheduled wake is.
> - Without that distinction, recovery can repeatedly treat
adapter-failed continuations as live work and obscure the real reason a
task stopped.
> - This pull request adds explicit durable external-wait liveness
handling and documents the expected execution semantics.
> - It also improves operator-visible recovery evidence so invalid
external-wait paths explain why they were rejected.
> - The benefit is clearer recovery behavior, fewer duplicate
continuation recoveries, and a safer contract for monitor-backed
external waits.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Refs #5978
- Related PRs: #4988, #7495, #8502
## What Changed
- Added durable external-wait liveness classification so
local/background watchers are not accepted as durable live paths after
the owning process exits.
- Preserved first-class blocker/monitor/scheduled wake paths as valid
external-wait continuations.
- Added backend regression coverage for killed watcher failure,
monitor-backed durable wait resumption, normal completion, blocker
behavior, and no duplicate recovery.
- Added adapter utility coverage for terminal cleanup behavior used by
local process adapters.
- Surfaced invalid external-wait recovery evidence in the recovery
action card and run ledger.
- Updated execution semantics documentation and the V1 implementation
contract.
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- `node scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs --mode general --group
general-server` equivalent lane passed in CI-clean env: 238 files, 2164
tests passed, 1 skipped.
- `node scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs --mode general --group
general-workspaces-a` passed in fully Paperclip-env-clean env: UI 305
files / 2430 tests; CLI 43 files / 230 tests.
- `node scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs --mode general --group
general-workspaces-b` passed in fully Paperclip-env-clean env:
shared/db/adapters/plugin packages all green.
- `node scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs --mode serialized` passed in fully
Paperclip-env-clean env: 107 serialized server suites green, including
84/84 heartbeat-process-recovery tests.
- `pnpm build` passed in fully Paperclip-env-clean env.
Notes: running `pnpm test:run` directly inside the Paperclip heartbeat
environment exposed local harness env contamination in existing tests
(`PAPERCLIP_CONFIG`, `PAPERCLIP_DB_BACKUP_DIR`, and
`PAPERCLIP_WORKTREE_START_POINT`). Re-running the same lanes with
inherited `PAPERCLIP_*` and port env removed produced the CI-equivalent
green results above.
## Risks
- Medium behavioral risk: this changes recovery classification for
stopped local external-wait processes, so adapters relying on unmanaged
background watchers must use blockers, monitors, scheduled wakes, or
explicit durable handoff instead.
- Low UI risk: recovery-card copy changes are covered by component tests
and Storybook screenshot QA.
- No database migration is included.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Issue and item detail pages use a shared issue chat thread to show
comments, runs, activity, and interactions.
> - That thread still defaulted to landing on the latest comment when
messages first loaded.
> - On long issue/item pages, that default can yank the operator away
from the top of the page before they choose to inspect the newest
message.
> - Deep links to comment hashes can create the same kind of initial
viewport jump when they are used as generic navigation targets.
> - This pull request makes initial latest-comment and initial
thread-hash scrolling opt-in instead of default behavior.
> - The benefit is stable initial page position across issue-thread
surfaces while keeping the explicit Jump to latest control available.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No exact public GitHub issue was found for this bug.
Bug description:
- What happened: opening a page with a shared issue conversation thread
could automatically move the viewport toward the newest comment/thread
target.
- Expected behavior: ordinary page loads should keep the initial
viewport stable unless the user explicitly clicks Jump to latest.
- Steps to reproduce: open an issue or item detail page with a long
conversation thread and observe whether the page jumps to the newest
thread entry on initial load.
- Paperclip version/commit: reproduced while working on the current
`master` branch lineage.
- Deployment mode: local trusted/dev UI.
Related public thread/comment UX work: Refs #3916, Refs #7972, Refs
#8800.
## What Changed
- Changed `IssueChatThread` so initial latest-comment scrolling defaults
to off.
- Added a separate opt-in for initial thread-hash scrolling, also
defaulting to off.
- Preserved stale deleted-comment hash cleanup without scrolling the
page.
- Updated regression coverage so default initial load stays put, comment
hashes do not scroll by default, and manual Jump to latest still
scrolls.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` passed on the clean PR
branch.
- `pnpm --dir ui exec vitest run src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx -t
"loads from the pending state into issue detail without changing hook
order"` passed on the clean PR branch.
- `pnpm --dir ui exec vitest run
src/components/IssueChatThread.test.tsx` was attempted on the clean PR
branch, but the file fails before changed assertions with the existing
`TypeError: act is not a function` test-harness issue across 58 tests;
14 tests passed.
- Static check: no `autoScrollToLatestOnInitialLoad={true}` or
`autoScrollToHashOnInitialLoad={true}` call sites remain in `ui/src`.
## Risks
Low risk. This only changes initial scroll defaults in the shared issue
thread. The main behavioral shift is that direct comment/thread hashes
no longer auto-scroll on first load unless a caller explicitly opts in;
the Jump to latest button and post-submit scroll behavior are unchanged.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The issue thread UI renders live agent output from adapter run logs
and transcript parsing.
> - Some adapter streams emit many small or repeated token chunks, and
live UI updates can expose partial words, duplicated slices, or
transient markdown placeholders.
> - That makes active run updates look like gibberish even when the
underlying agent output is valid.
> - The fix needs to preserve raw logs while making the live thread view
stable, readable, and ordered.
> - This pull request adds monotonic run-log sequencing, safer live
transcript dedupe/order handling, markdown placeholder hiding, and
readable live text stabilization.
> - The benefit is a live issue thread that updates smoothly without
showing confusing partial parser artifacts.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists yet, so this PR includes the bug details
inline.
### What happened?
Live run updates in the issue thread can show confusing repeated or
partial text while an adapter is streaming. The visible text appears to
lose parsing boundaries during active updates, especially with ACP-style
token deltas, so the live output can briefly render duplicated chunks,
incomplete words, or HTML-comment placeholders.
### Expected behavior
Live text should remain readable while preserving the underlying run
output for raw inspection.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Start a live agent run whose adapter emits small stdout token deltas.
2. Watch the issue thread while the run is still active.
3. Observe transient duplicated chunks, incomplete words, or markdown
placeholder artifacts in the live rendered text.
### Paperclip version or commit
Reproduced against current `master` before this PR branch.
### Deployment mode
Local dev issue-thread UI with live local adapter runs.
### Additional context
GitHub PR search for `live run streaming text markdown transcript` found
one broad merged PR, `#252` (“Dotta updates - sorry it's so large”), but
no targeted duplicate for this live streaming readability bug.
## What Changed
- Added per-run monotonic sequence numbers to persisted and live run-log
chunks.
- Dedupe and order live transcript chunks by sequence before falling
back to timestamp ordering.
- Hide markdown HTML comment placeholder text from rendered markdown
output.
- Smooth live issue-thread text updates so partial additions reveal at
readable word boundaries and sliding-window removals do not produce
gibberish.
- Added coverage for run-log ordering/deduping, markdown comment hiding,
live issue-thread stabilization, and Greptile-reviewed edge cases where
overlap rewrites could synthesize text or no-boundary additions could
stay hidden.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/lib/issue-chat-messages.test.ts src/components/MarkdownBody.test.tsx
src/components/transcript/useLiveRunTranscripts.test.tsx` passed before
the review fix: 3 files, 86 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/lib/issue-chat-messages.test.ts` passed after the review fix: 1
file, 30 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/lib/issue-chat-messages.test.ts
src/components/transcript/useLiveRunTranscripts.test.tsx` passed after
the final Greptile overlap fix: 2 files, 40 tests.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- Local PII/secret scan of touched files found only expected code/test
words such as `secret`, `token`, and redaction-related strings; no
literal credentials found.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed after restoring declared dependencies with
`CI=1 pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` and running with a short `TMPDIR`
because `tsx` IPC sockets fail under the long sandbox temp path.
- `pnpm build` passed with existing Vite CSS/font/chunk warnings.
- GitHub PR checks passed on head
`4c052dfe86aecb5feb73504e6b48843f68fce813`: build, typecheck/release
registry, server and workspace test shards, serialized server suites,
e2e, canary dry run, policy, review, Socket, Superagent, Snyk, and
verify.
- Greptile review passed on head
`4c052dfe86aecb5feb73504e6b48843f68fce813` with confidence score 5/5 and
no blocking issues found.
- `pnpm test:run` failed in unrelated server workspace tests on this
macOS local environment:
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts`:
two assertions compare `/tmp/...` with `/private/tmp/...`.
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-worktree-suppression.test.ts`:
expected one heartbeat run but observed two, followed by cleanup fallout
in the full run.
- Isolated rerun of those two server suites reproduced the same three
failures.
## Risks
- Low product risk for the UI changes: the readable smoothing only
affects active live-run display stabilization, not stored comments or
raw run logs.
- Moderate verification risk: local full Vitest did not pass because of
unrelated server workspace tests. Targeted tests for this change,
typecheck, token gates, and build passed.
- Run-log sequence fields are optional for compatibility with older log
rows that do not include `seq`.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Codex local is the adapter subsystem that exposes OpenAI Codex CLI
model choices to agents and issue overrides.
> - OpenAI has GPT-5.6 Codex-capable models that should appear in
Paperclip's built-in Codex model list and refresh behavior.
> - Paperclip's server model listing falls back to the adapter metadata
and merges OpenAI refresh results with known Codex defaults.
> - This pull request updates the Codex default model metadata to
include GPT-5.6 options and adds regression coverage for fallback and
refresh paths.
> - The benefit is that operators can select the new Codex models
without relying on manual model IDs, and refresh behavior keeps known
GPT-5.6 options visible.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #9322.
Refs #9342.
Refs #9346.
### Agent or provider
Codex CLI (OpenAI).
### Why this adapter is useful
OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Codex-capable models should be available in Paperclip's
Codex adapter defaults and model refresh path.
### How the agent is invoked
`codex`
## What Changed
- Changed the `codex_local` default model metadata from `gpt-5.5` to
`gpt-5.6`.
- Added `gpt-5.6-sol`, `gpt-5.6-terra`, and `gpt-5.6-luna` to the
built-in Codex adapter model list.
- Updated adapter and server model-listing tests to cover GPT-5.6
fallback and refresh behavior.
- Aligned Codex Fast mode support and helper text with the new `gpt-5.6`
default, while preserving GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4, and manual model ID support.
## Verification
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD`
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/adapters/codex-local/src/index.test.ts
packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/codex-args.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/adapter-models.test.ts

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
## Risks
Medium risk because changing `DEFAULT_CODEX_LOCAL_MODEL` from `gpt-5.5`
to `gpt-5.6` changes the adapter's default model selection for new blank
configurations. The model-list additions are otherwise low risk and
covered by adapter/server metadata tests. This PR intentionally overlaps
related PRs #9342 and #9346, so reviewers may prefer to close or fold it
into one of those branches.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server has built-in agent definitions that are loaded during
startup and used to provision optional operational agents such as
Reflection Coach
> - Reflection Coach stores richer stock instructions, a routine
description, and a bundled skill as markdown assets outside the
TypeScript module body
> - A deployed server can fail before it is healthy if one of those
copied markdown assets is absent from `server/dist`
> - A recent build fix preserves those assets during normal server
builds, but runtime should still degrade gracefully if a packaged asset
is missing or unreadable
> - This pull request adds resilient loading for built-in Reflection
Coach assets and keeps a minimal compiled fallback available
> - The benefit is that a missing optional built-in agent file no longer
turns into a process-wide startup crash
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Bug fix. No public GitHub issue found for this exact startup crash.
- Related public PR: #9339
- What happened: the server could throw `ENOENT` while importing the
built-in agent service if
`server/dist/built-ins/agents/reflection-coach/AGENTS.md` was missing
from a deployed build.
- Expected behavior: the server should keep starting, log that the
built-in asset was missing, and use safe fallback text for the optional
built-in agent resource.
- Steps to reproduce: build the server, remove the compiled Reflection
Coach `AGENTS.md` asset from `server/dist`, then import/start the server
path that loads built-in agent definitions.
- Paperclip version/commit: reproduced against a deployed build
containing the Reflection Coach built-in agent assets; fixed against
current `master` after #9339.
- Deployment mode: Node server deployment using compiled `server/dist`
output.
## What Changed
- Added built-in agent text loading that checks the compiled asset path
first, then source/package fallback paths, then a minimal compiled-in
fallback string.
- Added fallback text for Reflection Coach instructions, routine
description, and bundled skill content so startup does not depend on
optional markdown assets being present.
- Added regression coverage for readable candidate selection and
missing-file fallback behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm -w exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/built-in-agents.test.ts`
— 1 test file passed, 24 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server build` — server TypeScript build
completed and copied `src/built-ins` into `dist/built-ins`.
- Manual smoke: temporarily moved
`server/dist/built-ins/agents/reflection-coach/AGENTS.md`, imported
`server/dist/services/built-in-agents.js` through the repo-pinned `tsx`
runtime, and confirmed Reflection Coach definitions still loaded with
output `reflection-coach:3732`; the asset was restored afterward.
## Risks
Low risk. The normal path still uses the full packaged markdown assets.
The fallback path is only used when those files are missing or
unreadable, and it logs a warning so packaging drift remains visible.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 Codex coding agent, with repository tool access and
shell-based verification. Exact context window was not exposed in this
runtime.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents often work from reviewed plans that are approved through
issue-thread interactions.
> - Accepting a plan is not just a UI decision; it must reliably resume
the assignee so approved work continues.
> - A failed continuation wake could leave an approved plan stranded in
review with no durable retry or visible recovery path.
> - This pull request makes approved plan continuations retryable,
recoverable, and visible when resume fails.
> - The benefit is that operators can trust plan approval to either
resume the agent or produce an explicit actionable failure instead of
silent limbo.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists. Inline bug report follows the repository
bug template.
### Pre-submission checklist
- [x] I have searched existing open and closed issues and this is not a
duplicate.
- [x] I am on the latest released version of Paperclip or can reproduce
on `master`.
- [x] I have confirmed the error originates in Paperclip itself, not in
my agent adapter, API provider, or local configuration.
### What happened?
When a plan-confirmation interaction was accepted, the assignee
continuation wake could fail before useful agent execution. In that case
the issue could remain in review even though the plan had been approved,
because the failed wake was fire-and-forget and there was no durable
retry or recovery path for accepted continuations.
### Expected behavior
Accepted plan continuations should either wake the assignee
successfully, retry bounded infrastructure failures, recover dropped
wakes, or surface an explicit failure state that operators can act on.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Create an issue with an assignee and a plan confirmation that wakes
the assignee on accept.
2. Accept the confirmation.
3. Simulate a pre-flight continuation failure, such as process loss
before agent start or workspace validation failure.
4. Observe that the approved issue can remain in review without an
active assignee wake or visible retry/failure state.
### Paperclip version or commit
Reproducible on `master` before this PR's retry/recovery changes.
### Deployment mode
Local dev (`pnpm dev`) and server-side recovery paths.
### Installation method
Built from source (`pnpm install`, `pnpm dev`, test runner).
### Agent adapter(s) involved
Not adapter-specific; this is a core continuation/recovery bug. The
tests cover local-agent failure shapes without relying on a
provider-specific API.
### Database mode
Embedded Postgres test database for verification. The affected logic is
database-backed and applies to normal Postgres deployments as well.
### Access context
Board accepts the interaction; agent execution resumes through the
assignee wake path.
### Relevant logs or output
No sensitive logs are needed. The regression tests simulate the failed
wake and recovery states directly.
### Relevant config
No special config is required beyond an assignee with wake-on-demand
enabled.
### Additional context
This PR also prevents a stale workspace-validation payload from
quarantining another issue's active workspace and prevents unrelated
successful runs from masking a continuation that never resumed.
### Privacy checklist
- [x] I have reviewed all pasted output for PII, usernames, file paths,
API keys, tokens, and company names, and redacted where necessary.
## What Changed
- Added bounded infrastructure retries for failed accepted-interaction
continuation wakes.
- Extended stranded issue recovery so dropped accepted-plan continuation
wakes are requeued.
- Recorded and rendered explicit resume-failure state on accepted
confirmation cards.
- Added clean-workspace fallback for workspace-validation failures while
preventing cross-issue workspace quarantine.
- Tightened recovery so unrelated successful runs do not mask an
accepted continuation that never resumed.
- Added focused server/UI coverage for retry scheduling, recovery,
visible failure state, and interaction card rendering.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` — 106 tests
passed.
- Earlier branch verification also covered the issue-thread interaction
card tests for the visible resume-failure UI.
- GitHub CI is green on the replacement PR head, and Greptile reports
5/5 with no blocking issues.
## Risks
- Medium behavioral risk: this changes recovery behavior for accepted
continuation interactions and workspace-validation retries.
- Mitigation: retries are bounded, scoped to same-company issue context,

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server package ships compiled runtime code plus static runtime
assets.
> - Built-in agent definitions live under `server/src/built-ins` and
runtime code resolves them relative to compiled server files.
> - The server build already copied onboarding assets into `dist`, but
it did not copy built-in agent assets alongside the compiled code.
> - Packaged server builds could therefore miss built-in agent
definitions even though source-based development runs worked.
> - This pull request extends the server build copy step to preserve
built-in agent assets in `dist/built-ins`.
> - The benefit is packaged server builds keep the same built-in agent
runtime assets available as source-based development runs.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue found. This PR describes the underlying bug
inline using the bug report template fields.
### What happened?
`@paperclipai/server` build output copied `server/src/onboarding-assets`
into `server/dist/onboarding-assets`, but did not copy
`server/src/built-ins` into `server/dist/built-ins`. Runtime code for
built-in agents resolves those assets relative to the compiled server
files, so packaged builds could omit built-in agent markdown assets that
are present during source-based development.
### Expected behavior
Packaged server builds should include built-in agent assets under
`server/dist/built-ins`, matching the runtime location expected by the
compiled server code.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Check out current `master` before this PR.
2. Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server build`.
3. Check for `server/dist/built-ins/agents/reflection-coach/AGENTS.md`.
4. Observe that the built-in agent asset is missing from the server
build output.
### Paperclip version or commit
Reproduces on current `master` before this PR. The fix is verified on
commit `2b89984ccb7857f06359bf65c48222f110c7aeff`.
### Deployment mode
Build/package artifact behavior. This can affect any deployment mode
that runs from the built server package rather than directly from
source.
### Installation method
Built from source with `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server build`.
### Agent adapter(s) involved
Not adapter-specific. This is a core server packaging bug for built-in
agent assets.
### Database mode
Not database-related.
### Access context
Not applicable. This happens during package build output generation.
Related search:
- Searched public PRs/issues for `built-ins build copy
repo:paperclipai/paperclip`.
- Found no directly related open issue. One old closed Hermes adapter PR
was not directly related.
## What Changed
- Updated the `@paperclipai/server` build script to create
`dist/built-ins`.
- Added the copy step from `server/src/built-ins` into
`server/dist/built-ins` alongside the existing onboarding asset copy.
- Added a focused server package build-script test that asserts both
onboarding and built-in static runtime asset directories are copied into
`dist`.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/server-package-build-script.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server build`
- `test -f server/dist/built-ins/agents/reflection-coach/AGENTS.md`
## Risks
Low risk. This changes only the package build asset copy step and adds
focused test coverage. The main risk is build-script portability, but it
follows the existing `mkdir -p` and `cp -R` pattern already used for
onboarding assets.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The board currently uses issues for execution, but longer-lived
content work needs a separate object that can survive beyond a single
task thread.
> - The Cases subsystem adds an experimental, company-scoped record for
content artifacts and their supporting metadata.
> - The backend needs durable storage, API routes, revision history,
issue linkage, and company-boundary enforcement before the UI can depend
on Cases.
> - The UI needs an opt-in navigation surface, list/detail views,
reference chips, and issue-page context so operators can inspect Cases
without making them the default workflow.
> - The agent-facing skills need a contract for creating and updating
Cases so automated content workflows can dogfood the feature.
> - This pull request ships that experimental end-to-end path behind the
`enableCases` flag.
> - The benefit is a first-class place to collect content work,
references, attachments, revisions, and related execution threads
without polluting the core issue model.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this experimental feature.
Feature request fields:
### Problem
Content-oriented work such as release notes, announcements, docs, and
campaigns can span many execution issues, which makes the final artifact
hard to find and reason about after the execution thread moves on.
### Proposed solution
Add an experimental Cases object that is company-scoped, linked to
issues, queryable through the API, inspectable in the board UI, and
writable by agent workflows through documented conventions.
### Alternatives considered
Continue encoding content artifacts directly in issues or documents
only. That keeps the data model smaller, but it does not give operators
a stable artifact-centric view or a clean way to link related execution
history.
### Roadmap alignment
Checked `ROADMAP.md`; this PR does not duplicate an existing planned
core roadmap item.
## What Changed
- Added the `cases` data model, migration, schema exports, and
experimental `enableCases` instance setting.
- Added company-scoped Cases API routes for list/detail/update, issue
links, revisions, children, activity events, annotations, attachments,
and idempotent agent-oriented upserts.
- Scoped case and issue lookup helpers before access checks so
inaccessible cross-company identifiers resolve as not found rather than
leaking existence.
- Fixed case PATCH timestamp handling so non-status updates cannot
overwrite `completedAt` from a stale pre-transaction row snapshot.
- Moved Cases list type/status/project filters into the server request
before the server-side limit is applied, including multi-select filters
and no-project filtering.
- Added backend route coverage for creation, updates, idempotency, issue
linking, attribution, company-boundary enforcement, OpenAPI
registration, list filtering, timestamp patch behavior, and inaccessible
lookup regressions.
- Added the experimental Cases UI surface: sidebar entry, gated routes,
list filters/grouping, detail overview, activity, revisions, children,
attachments, and issue-page case rail.
- Added case reference rendering and company-prefixed case href
generation so case links resolve directly inside the active company
route.
- Added Paperclip skill documentation for agent workflows that create or
update Cases.
- Wired release-content skills to emit Cases for dogfooding.
- Rebased onto current `master` and renumbered the Cases migrations to
`0143`/`0144` after the latest upstream migration sequence.
## Verification
- Current PR head: `ecc13be0d`.
- Rebased on current `master` (`606aa4f266`) and pushed to the existing
PR branch.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed before the first
update push; subsequent committed diffs were also checked with `git diff
--check` before commit.
- Guardrails checked: no `pnpm-lock.yaml` changes, no
`.github/workflows` changes, and changed-file count is below the
Greptile 100-file limit.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/cases-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts` — passed, 3 files / 26 tests
before review-fix commits.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/cases-routes.test.ts` — passed after each server-side
Greptile fix, latest 1 file / 15 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed after the
timestamp and lookup fixes.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/pages/Cases.test.tsx src/pages/CaseDetail.test.tsx
src/pages/CompanySkills.test.tsx src/App.cases-routing.test.tsx` —
passed, 4 files / 30 tests before review-fix commits.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/pages/Cases.test.tsx` — passed after the list-filter fix, 1 file /
12 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed after the
list-filter fix.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed after UI changes.
- Remote PR checks on head `ecc13be0d` are green: Paperclip CI, build,
typecheck, test matrix, e2e, Canary Dry Run, policy, commit review,
Superagent Security Scan, Socket, Snyk, and Greptile passed; Storybook
visual regression is skipped and security-review is neutral.
- Greptile Review: 5/5 confidence, zero unresolved Greptile threads.
## Risks
- Medium feature risk because this introduces a new experimental domain
object across database, server, shared contracts, skills, and UI.
- The feature is gated behind `enableCases`, which limits default
operator exposure while the model is exercised.
- Case links now prefer company-prefixed hrefs; the unprefixed redirect
remains for externally entered URLs.
- Cases list filtering now sends multi-select filters to the server
before limiting; the UI still applies the same local filters as a second
pass for ancestor/context rows.
- Migrations were renumbered on top of current master; the SQL uses
guarded `IF NOT EXISTS` / `ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS` patterns where
relevant for safer replay.

## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 Codex in the Paperclip local coding environment was used
for this PR curation, rebase verification, review-fix implementation,
push, and PR description update. The runtime exposes tool use and shell
execution; context-window size is not exposed by this Paperclip adapter.
Several implementation commits also include AI co-author trailers
recorded in git history.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Company search is the primary way operators find issues, comments,
documents, artifacts, agents, and projects across a busy company
> - Search previously supported only a bare text query: no way to narrow
by status/assignee/project/label/date, no sort control, no typed
operators, and weak relevance/snippets meant hunting through noise
> - As companies accumulate tens of thousands of items, unfiltered
single-sort search stops scaling for day-to-day operator workflows
> - This pull request adds a full filtering model (filter bar, chips,
mobile sheet, URL state), sort modes, typed query operators (`status:`,
`assignee:`, `type:`, …) with command-palette parity,
relevance/snippet/deep-link improvements, zero-results recovery, and the
supporting shared validators, backend service work, and DB indexes
> - The benefit is that operators can go from a vague query to the exact
item in a couple of keystrokes, on desktop and mobile, with shareable
filtered-search URLs
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing public GitHub issue; describing the underlying feature
request inline (per feature_request template):
- **Problem:** Company search accepted only a plain text query. Users
could not filter results by status, assignee, project, label, or
recency; could not change result ordering; and got no guidance when
filters emptied the result set.
- **Desired solution:** Structured search filters (UI controls + typed
query operators + URL parameters), selectable sort modes, better
relevance and snippets with exact deep links, and parity between the
search page and the command palette.
- **Alternatives considered:** Client-side filtering of unfiltered
results (does not scale past the fetch limit); a separate "advanced
search" page (splits the surface and duplicates state handling).
Related (not duplicate) PRs found while searching: #4848 (issue search
query planning), #8235 (search rate limiting).
## What Changed
- **Shared contract:** new search filter/sort/count/zero-results types
and validators in `packages/shared` (`validators/search.ts`, types
index).
- **Backend:** `server/src/services/company-search.ts` supports issue
filters, sort modes, per-filter option counts, snippets, artifact
visibility, and zero-results loosen suggestions; single-statement match
replaces per-scope scans and predicates are trigram-index compatible
(~3.7s → ~350ms on a live 14.8k-hit corpus).
- **DB:** migration `0142_company_search_sort_indexes.sql` adds the
supporting indexes.
- **Search page (`ui/src/pages/Search.tsx`):** filter bar, removable
chips, mobile filter sheet with result-count preview, sort menu, URL
round-tripping, zero-results recovery UI.
- **Query operators (`ui/src/lib/search-query-parser.ts`):** typed
operators parsed into filters, operator autocomplete, filter pills.
- **Command palette:** operator-aware parsing and full-search handoff.
- **Stale-operator fix (latest commit):** typed operator filters are no
longer folded into persistent URL-filter state, so deleting a token
(e.g. removing `status:blocked` from the input) actually removes the
filter from subsequent requests; filter-control edits materialize
control state and strip typed tokens so a removed chip cannot resurrect
from the input.
## Verification
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/pages/Search.test.tsx` — 19 tests
including two new red→green regressions for the stale-operator paths
(both fail on the previous commit, pass now).
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/CommandPalette.test.tsx` and
`cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/company-search-service.test.ts` — operator parity and
backend filter/sort/count coverage.
- `cd ui && npx tsc --noEmit` — clean.
- Manual: open `/search`, type `auth status:blocked`, confirm the status
filter applies; delete `status:blocked`, confirm results are unfiltered
again; drive the same filters from the filter bar/chips/mobile sheet and
confirm the URL round-trips (reload/back/forward preserves state).
- Full end-to-end QA pass (9/9 acceptance checks) against the wireframes
on desktop (1280px) and mobile (390px) with a live API and browser
automation.
## Risks
- Additive migration (indexes only, no data rewrites) — safe to roll
forward; index creation cost is paid once at migrate time.
- Search request shape gains optional parameters only; old clients keep
working.
- Behavioral shift: filter-control edits now strip typed operator tokens
from the query text (their values persist as filter state) — deliberate,
so removed filters stay removed.
- Ranking changes alter result ordering for existing queries; covered by
service tests and the QA pass.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Releases publish the same app and package set that operators
install, so release verification should keep full release-strength
coverage.
> - The release workflow currently verifies stable and canary releases
with one serial job that typechecks, runs all tests, and builds.
> - The PR workflow already proves the test surface can be split into
grouped general suites and serialized shards without changing coverage.
> - This pull request extracts the release verify work into a reusable
workflow and fans out the independent lanes.
> - The benefit is faster stable and canary release verification while
preserving the existing publish and preview gates.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this CI improvement.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (multiple of the above)
**Problem or motivation**
Release verification spends most of its wall time in a single serial
test step even though the same stable test surface is already
partitioned for PR CI. Stable dispatches and master-push canaries
therefore wait on one long runner after setup, typecheck, tests, and
build run sequentially.
**Proposed solution**
Add a reusable release verification workflow with parallel typecheck,
grouped general tests, serialized test shards, and build lanes. Have
both stable and canary release verification call it with the ref they
need to verify.
**Alternatives considered**
Keeping the serial `pnpm test:run` job preserves the old shape but keeps
stable and canary releases waiting on one long runner. Skipping
verification when a source SHA already has green CI would be faster, but
adds stale-check and lookup risk beyond this change.
**Roadmap alignment**
No overlapping item found in `ROADMAP.md`; this is release CI
maintenance.
**Additional context**
The new workflow keeps the release-strength full `pnpm -r typecheck`,
uses the existing stable test grouping/sharding entry points, and leaves
publish/preview jobs unchanged.
## What Changed
- Added `.github/workflows/release-verify.yml` as a `workflow_call`
workflow accepting a `ref` input.
- Split release verification into parallel `typecheck`, `general_tests`,
`serialized_tests`, and `build` jobs with 20-minute lane timeouts.
- Mirrored the PR workflow's stable test partition: `general-server`
shards 1-3, `general-workspaces-a`, `general-workspaces-b`, and four
serialized shards.
- Replaced `release.yml` `verify_canary` and `verify_stable` job bodies
with calls to the reusable workflow while leaving publish and preview
jobs unchanged.
- Added a Node test that guards the release workflow delegation and
split verify surface.
## Verification
- `actionlint 1.7.12 .github/workflows/release.yml
.github/workflows/release-verify.yml`
- `node ./scripts/release-package-map.mjs check`
- `node --test ./scripts/__tests__/release-verify-workflow.test.mjs
./scripts/__tests__/run-vitest-stable-shard.test.mjs`
- `git diff --check`
## Risks
- Release verification now starts more jobs per release event,
increasing total runner setup/install minutes. This matches the existing
PR CI tradeoff and should reduce release wall time substantially.
- The called workflow checks out the requested ref shallowly. That is
intentional for verify lanes; publish and preview jobs still retain
their existing full-history checkouts.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Execution workspaces are the bridge between Paperclip's control
plane and a local agent's checked-out repository state.
> - When a workspace is restored after a failed or interrupted run, the
recorded branch can disagree with the branch currently checked out on
disk.
> - A clean branch mismatch can be reconciled safely, but a dirty
mismatch needs a lossless path that does not discard uncommitted agent
work.
> - This pull request adds a quarantine-and-restore path that saves
dirty work to a rescue branch, restores the recorded branch, and exposes
the repair from the board UI and run page.
> - The benefit is that operators can recover wedged execution
workspaces without losing work or moving another live branch
unexpectedly.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this workspace-recovery failure, so
this PR includes the bug report inline.
**What happened**
A git worktree-backed execution workspace could become wedged when
Paperclip expected one branch but found a different checked-out branch
with dirty tracked or untracked files. The existing safe repair path
refused the restore, leaving the source task blocked with no lossless
one-click recovery path.
**Expected behavior**
Paperclip should preserve dirty work before restoring the recorded
workspace branch. If another live workspace claims the checked-out
branch, or an attached runtime service is active, the repair should
refuse with clear operator-facing evidence instead of risking work loss
or file contention.
**Steps to reproduce**
Create a git worktree execution workspace whose persisted branch name
differs from the checked-out branch, add dirty tracked or untracked
files in that worktree, then trigger workspace validation or use the
branch reconcile endpoint. Before this change, the dirty mismatch
remained blocked because Paperclip had no quarantine restore mode.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Observed on the pre-fix workspace-recovery implementation. Verified on
this PR head after rebasing onto current `master`.
**Deployment mode**
Local trusted development/worktree deployments using git worktree
execution workspaces and optional workspace runtime services.
## What Changed
- Added dirty-worktree quarantine repair that creates a rescue branch,
commits dirty tracked and untracked files there, restores the recorded
branch, writes audit comments/activity, and preserves the live foreign
branch ref.
- Added `quarantine_restore` branch reconcile API support,
recovery-action resolution, source-task wake behavior, execution-review
preservation, claimant refusal, runtime-service refusal, and coverage
for the non-transactional git ordering.
- Added board UI controls for the repair action in the recovery card
plus a compact failed-run workspace recovery surface that uses the same
reconcile handlers.
- Hardened Greptile follow-up cases by best-effort restoring the
recorded branch after a mid-sequence rescue commit failure and by
refusing quarantine restore while attached runtime services are active.

- Earlier PR verification covered the route, service, heartbeat, UI
component, and run-page recovery surfaces; Cutter posted public preview
screenshots for the repair popover and run-page panel at
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/9297#issuecomment-4926934211.
- GitHub PR checks are green on
`dcac76b05f4cf6e1ee16544c2831d83c7857e475`.
- Greptile is 5/5 with zero annotations and no unresolved review threads
on `dcac76b05f4cf6e1ee16544c2831d83c7857e475`.
## Risks
- Moderate risk because the change intentionally runs git commands
against local worktrees; the implementation refuses dirty repair when
another claimant or active runtime service is detected and records
rescue refs for auditability.
- Compatibility / release-note callout for self-hosted operators:
existing instances that left `enableWorkspaceBranchReconcileForward`
unset now get automatic forward branch reconciliation during heartbeat
workspace recovery. Operators who want the previous advisory-only
behavior can set `experimental.enableWorkspaceBranchReconcileForward` to
`false`; dirty quarantine repair can likewise be disabled with
`experimental.enableWorkspaceDirtyQuarantineRepair: false`.
- If the git rescue succeeds but a later database write fails, the
worktree may already be restored while the recovery action remains open;
this ordering is documented in code because git side effects cannot
participate in the database transaction.
- UI risk is limited to the workspace recovery surfaces and covered by
component tests plus the existing Cutter visual preview.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex coding agent based on GPT-5, with repository tool use,
shell execution, and local test execution. Earlier preserved commits on
this branch also show Claude Code / Claude Opus 4.8 assistance in their
commit metadata.

## Summary
When a task runs in a branch-pinned execution workspace, agents
sometimes switch or rename the workspace branch, which breaks the
worktree contract. This adds a short, one-time prompt hint telling the
agent to stay on the pinned branch.
- **heartbeat.ts**: after the execution workspace is resolved, attach
`executionWorkspace: { branchName }` to the wake payload (only when a
branch pin exists — agent-home runs without a branch are untouched).
- **server-utils.ts (adapter-utils)**: normalize the new payload field
and render one bullet in `renderPaperclipWakePrompt`:
> `- execution workspace branch: you are running in an execution
workspace on branch \`<name>\`. Do not switch, rename, or re-point this
branch; keep all commits on it.`
- The hint renders **only on non-resumed sessions** — resume-delta
prompts skip it, so it appears the first time an issue's session starts,
not on every turn, and it never pollutes the issue thread. One renderer
change covers every adapter (claude, codex, cursor, gemini, grok,
opencode, pi, hermes, acpx engine) with zero per-adapter edits.
## Tests
- `server-utils.test.ts`: branch guard renders on first prompt, absent
on resumed-session prompts, absent when no branch is pinned; payload
round-trips through `stringifyPaperclipWakePayload`.
- `heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts`: the finalize-path
adapter mock now asserts the wake payload the adapter receives carries
the branch pin matching `context.paperclipWorkspace.branchName`
(end-to-end heartbeat wiring, embedded postgres). All 6 pass.
- Full `server-utils` (56) and acpx-engine execute (34) suites green;
adapter-utils typechecks clean; no new server tsc errors.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The board UI keeps issue, agent, activity, and run state fresh
through polling across several pages and sidebar surfaces
> - When multiple components or browser tabs poll the same company data
at the same time, the API can receive bursts of duplicate issue-list
requests
> - Those duplicate requests increase database and server load without
returning meaningfully different data
> - This pull request adds server-side compression/coalescing plus
client-side visibility-aware and cross-tab shared polling
> - The benefit is lower request volume during normal board usage while
preserving fresh UI data for active users
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No exact public GitHub issue was found for this request.
Problem:
- The board can issue redundant polling requests for the same issue-list
data from multiple UI surfaces and tabs.
- In busy operator sessions, those bursts can trigger request-storm
behavior and unnecessary issue-list load.
- Expected behavior is to reuse identical in-flight work server-side and
reduce hidden-tab or duplicate-tab polling client-side while preserving
normal refresh behavior.
Related public context found during duplicate search:
- #8206 covers a different board UI 404-storm scope.
- #5165 covers separate issue-list behavior around page-size truncation.
## What Changed
- Added API compression middleware foundation and a company/created-at
index for heartbeat run access.
- Added server-side issue-list request storm detection and identical
in-flight request coalescing.
- Added UI fetch metadata, visibility-aware polling, and request
deduplication for issue/activity/client calls.
- Added cross-tab shared polling primitives and wired them into the
sidebar, inbox, dashboard, issue, project, routine, and agent surfaces.
- Resolved the latest `master` migration collision by keeping upstream
`0140_built_in_managed_resources.sql` and renumbering this branch's
heartbeat-run index migration to
`0141_heartbeat_runs_company_created_at_index.sql`; the SQL uses `CREATE
INDEX IF NOT EXISTS` for idempotency.
- Stabilized server heartbeat cleanup tests exposed by the PR check
matrix.
- Fixed the Greptile compression follow-up by weakening strong ETags on
encoded JSON responses and bypassing compression for streamed/download
responses.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/IssuesList.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/Inbox.test.tsx` — passed after resolving the latest
`master` conflict in `IssuesList.tsx` and updating the 200-result cap
expectations.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed after the UI conflict resolution.
- `jq -e '.entries | length as $n | (map(.idx) | unique | length == $n)
and (map(.tag) | unique | length == $n)'
packages/db/src/migrations/meta/_journal.json` — passed after
renumbering the migration to `0141`.
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/api-compression.test.ts` -
passed after the compression follow-up.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-list-assignee-filter-routes.test.ts` - passed
after the compression follow-up.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` - passed after the
compression follow-up.
- Greptile Review for head `8dbddac41ec273fda404100b4981ddb912fad57b` -
passed after the latest conflict/migration fix; all Greptile review
threads are resolved.

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- GitHub PR checks for head `8dbddac41ec273fda404100b4981ddb912fad57b`:
all GitHub Actions/status checks passed; Greptile, Superagent, Socket,
Snyk, build, typecheck/release registry, general tests, serialized
server suites, e2e, canary dry run, policy, and commitperclip review are
green; Storybook visual regression and security-review were
skipped/neutral by policy.
- Confirmed this branch does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml` or
`.github/workflows` changes.
## Risks
- Medium risk: issue-list coalescing changes request timing and cache
semantics for a hot API path.
- Medium risk: cross-tab polling uses browser coordination primitives,
so older or unusual browser environments need fallback behavior to stay
correct.
- Low migration risk: the new index migration is ordered after current
`master` and uses `CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS`.

Skip user_secret_ref bindings when resolving adapter config for agent skill listing and sync paths, while keeping normal runtime resolution strict. Add route and service regression tests for required user-secret refs in adapter config.
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators need first-party agent capabilities for repeatable company
work, not just manually created one-off agents.
> - Built-in agents need to behave like normal company-scoped agents
while preserving approval gates, permissions, budgets, and audit trails.
> - Reflection and coaching work also needs bundled instructions, skill
content, and a routine so the feature can be installed and reset
predictably.
> - The API, database, UI, portability, and tests all need to agree on
the built-in lifecycle from not provisioned through setup, approval,
ready, paused, and reset.
> - This pull request adds built-in agent provisioning and the
Reflection Coach bundle end-to-end.
> - The benefit is a safer first-party path for Paperclip-managed agents
without bypassing the same governance model used for operator-created
agents.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue was found for this exact built-in agent and
Reflection Coach bundle work.
Problem/motivation:
- Paperclip did not have a first-party built-in agent lifecycle for
product-owned agents.
- Bundled agent resources such as default instructions, skills, and
routines needed managed ownership and reset semantics.
- Approval-gated companies needed built-in setup to preserve requested
adapter, budget, manager, and permission state through board approval.
- The board UI needed clear built-in badges, setup affordances,
readiness state, and bundle status without exposing secrets.
Proposed solution:
- Add a company-scoped built-in agent registry,
provisioning/reset/reconcile/status APIs, and Reflection Coach bundled
resources.
- Track bundled managed resources in the database with idempotent
migration behavior.
- Reuse existing agent approval, authorization, budget, and activity-log
paths instead of creating a bypass.
- Add UI setup, badges, gates, bundle panels, and route coverage for
built-in agents.
Duplicate search:
- Searched GitHub PRs for `built-in agents Reflection Coach
repo:paperclipai/paperclip`; only this PR was returned.
- Searched GitHub issues for the same query; no public issues were
returned.
## What Changed
- Added built-in agent definitions, lifecycle state derivation,
provisioning, reset, reconcile, status, and routine-control routes.
- Added the `built_in_managed_resources` migration and schema exports
for bundled instructions, skill, and routine ownership.
- Added the Reflection Coach built-in bundle with default instructions,
skill catalog content, routine template, default permissions, and
managed-resource drift handling.
- Added approval-aware provisioning behavior that preserves requested
adapter config, budgets, manager assignment, and built-in permissions
through hire approval.
- Added authorization and mutation gates for built-in agent and skill
changes, including consented Reflection Coach change paths.
- Added UI surfaces for built-in agent setup, roster/detail badges,
readiness gates, bundle status, routine controls, and route filtering.
- Added company import/export and validator coverage for built-in
managed resources and low-trust/red-team presets.
- Addressed Greptile follow-ups for pending approval reconciliation,
consent-gate error propagation, config-read authorization fallback,
approval-path manager preservation, and non-model adapter provisioning.
## Verification
Local verification:
- `git diff --check public/master..HEAD` passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed with all gates clean.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
ui/src/components/ConfigureBuiltInAgentModal.test.tsx` passed: 1 file, 4
tests.
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/EntityRow.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/Agents.test.tsx ui/src/components/BuiltInAgentGate.test.tsx
ui/src/components/ConfigureBuiltInAgentModal.test.tsx
ui/src/components/BuiltInBundlePanel.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/InstanceExperimentalSettings.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/Routines.test.tsx` passed: 7 files, 64 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/built-in-agents.test.ts
src/__tests__/authorization-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/company-skills-routes.test.ts` passed: 3 files, 91 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations` passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed after the rebase; `pnpm --filter ui
typecheck` passed after the final UI review fix.
Remote verification on latest head
`1c61f693a4ec881d739022b0e75a8ca8bf8c2cd8`:
- Merge state: `CLEAN`.
- Greptile: `5/5`, zero unresolved Greptile threads.
- PR check rollup: all checks successful, neutral, or skipped as
expected.
- Passing gates include Build, Typecheck + Release Registry, all server
shards, all workspace shards, all serialized server suites, e2e, Canary
Dry Run, policy, review, verify, Socket, Superagent, and Snyk.
## Risks
- This adds a new managed-resource table and migration; the migration
uses idempotent create/add/index guards and passed migration safety
checks.
- Built-in agent provisioning touches approval and authorization paths;
tests cover pending approval preservation, stale retry rejection,
consent gates, and config-read fallback behavior.
- Reflection Coach creates managed instructions, skill, and routine
resources; drift/reset behavior is covered by service tests and redacted
API responses.
- Non-model adapter setup now provisions a `needs_setup` built-in row
before command/endpoint fields are complete; this matches the server
lifecycle and is covered by the setup modal regression test.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex coding agent based on GPT-5. Exact hosted model ID,
context-window size, and reasoning-mode labels are not exposed in this
runtime; tool use, shell execution, GitHub CLI/API access, and local
code editing were enabled.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Skills Manager gives operators a reusable skill layer, but
iteration still required manual edits, ad hoc prompts, and indirect run
inspection.
> - Skill authors need a focused workflow for editing skill files,
saving representative test inputs, and running those inputs through an
agent without exposing harness tasks as normal company work.
> - The backend therefore needs durable test inputs, reusable run
templates, hidden harness issues, scoped run execution, retention
metadata, and read-containment rules around hidden work.
> - The frontend needs a three-pane Studio that keeps skill files, saved
inputs/templates, and run output/history visible together while
preserving the existing design system and token rules.
> - This pull request ships that Skill Studio surface end to end:
database migrations, shared contracts, server APIs/services, hidden
harness execution behavior, UI routes/components, and focused tests.
> - The benefit is faster and safer skill iteration, with inspectable
outputs and fewer ways for internal harness work to leak into normal
task lists, costs, or adjacent read APIs.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this feature. Feature request summary:
- Problem: Skill authors need to edit and test company skills in one
place instead of switching between the skill detail page, task creation,
run output, and manual prompt history.
- Proposed solution: Add a Skill Studio workbench with saved inputs,
reusable templates, hidden sandboxed test runs, live run status, output
inspection, run history, rerun/delete controls, and frontmatter-aware
editing.
- Expected users: Paperclip operators and agent-company maintainers who
create, fork, import, and tune skills.
- Related public PRs: Supersedes #9205, which was replaced so the public
PR branch name follows contributor policy.
- Duplicate search: searched public GitHub issues and PRs for "Skill
Studio"; no other active public issue or PR directly covers this
feature.
## What Changed
- Added database migrations for Skill Studio test inputs, test runs,
test run retention, and reusable run templates.
- Added shared Skill Studio types, validators, route helpers,
frontmatter utilities, and status handling.
- Added server services and routes for saved inputs, test runs,
templates, reruns, terminal-run deletion, hidden harness issue
execution, and run-detail hydration.
- Strengthened hidden-issue read containment across issue-adjacent
routes and cost rollups used by skill test harness work.
- Added the Skill Studio UI with skill file editing, frontmatter
editing, saved inputs, templates, run creation/cancel/rerun/delete
flows, output rendering, history, route support, and responsive pane
behavior.
- Added focused backend, shared, and UI tests for the new APIs, routing
logic, editor/run behavior, hidden-issue containment, and migration
safety.
- Rebased onto current `master`, removed the generated lockfile diff
from the PR, and verified no workflow files are changed.
## Verification
- [x] `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`
- [x] `pnpm check:token-gates`
- [x] `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-service.test.ts

files, 132 tests passed
- [x] Greptile review on the latest PR head
- [x] GitHub PR checks on the latest PR head
## Risks
- Medium risk because this is a broad feature touching database schema,
server orchestration, issue visibility, and a large UI surface.
- Hidden harness issue containment is security-sensitive; this PR
includes regression coverage for adjacent read paths and cost rollups.
- The new migrations are additive and use idempotent guards where
applicable, but deployed databases that previously tested draft
migration numbers should still be checked carefully.
- The UI depends on a new resizable panels package in `ui/package.json`;
the lockfile is intentionally left to repository automation.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators rely on the issue detail thread to understand whether a
task is blocked, live, or waiting on another task.
> - A blocked issue can have a healthy blocker chain where downstream
work is actively running and the parent will resume automatically.
> - Showing that case with the same amber blocked notice as a stalled or
attention-needed blocker makes the state look more severe than it is.
> - The UI already receives blocker-attention state, blocker summaries,
and company live-run ids, so this can be clarified without a new API
shape.
> - This pull request adds a blue "Waiting on live work" notice for
covered blocker chains while preserving the existing amber notice for
the other blocked states.
> - The benefit is that operators can distinguish healthy queued work
from blocked work that needs intervention.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #3820
Refs #8271
Related PR: #3877
Supersedes #9295
## What Changed
- Added a blue `IssueBlockedNotice` variant when
`blockerAttention.state` is `covered` and the blocker chain has live
work.
- Rendered blocker-chain progress as done, running, and queued steps,
including a "Now running" row for live terminal blockers.
- Preserved the existing amber blocked notice for stalled,
attention-needed, ordinary blocked, and successful-run handoff states.
- Plumbed the existing `liveIssueIds`, `blockedBy`, and
`blockerAttention` data from issue detail into the chat-thread blocked
notice.
- Added regression coverage around the covered live-work state, the
no-confirmed-live fallback, numeric step ordering, and amber fallback
states.
- Hardened a low-trust server route test cleanup helper so CI deletes
heartbeat run events before deleting heartbeat runs.
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/IssueBlockedNotice.test.tsx`
- GitHub PR workflow is green on head
`52ab6d9076ce233c183bf7133fa666e8597b6765`.
- Greptile check is green on head
`52ab6d9076ce233c183bf7133fa666e8597b6765` with zero unresolved review
threads.
## Risks
Low runtime risk: the product change is frontend-only and uses data
already returned to the issue detail page. The main risk is visual
regression in the blocked notice; the change keeps non-covered states on
the existing amber path and adds focused regression coverage. The
server-side change is test-only cleanup for an existing CI shard
failure.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No matching public GitHub issue was found. Public duplicate search found
no open PR for "workspace runtime health readiness".
Bug report:
### What happened?
A managed Paperclip dev runtime service could satisfy HTTP readiness at
the exposed base URL even when the Paperclip health endpoint was
returning an unhealthy status.
### Expected behavior
Paperclip dev runtime services should not be considered ready until
their health endpoint succeeds.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Start a workspace runtime service named `paperclip-dev` whose base
URL responds successfully.
2. Make that same service return HTTP 503 from `/api/health`.
3. Ask Paperclip to ensure the runtime service for a run.
4. Observe that the service can be reused even though the API health
endpoint is not ready.
### Paperclip version or commit
Current `origin/master` before this PR.
### Deployment mode
Local workspace runtime service management.
## What Changed
- Resolve Paperclip dev runtime readiness checks to the service health
URL before polling.
- Surface readiness errors with the actual health URL that failed.
- Add a regression test that fails when `/api/health` returns HTTP 503
even if the service process is running.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts`
— 81 tests passed.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed.
## Risks
- Low to medium risk. This tightens readiness for Paperclip dev runtime
services, so a service that previously looked ready while unhealthy will
now fail fast instead of being reused.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip manages AI agents that each have an associated execution
environment (local, Kubernetes, etc.)
> - Instance administrators can create and delete environments;
currently the DELETE endpoint has no protection against deleting managed
or in-use environments
> - Deleting the managed local environment or the instance-default
environment would break all agents using those environments with no path
to recovery
> - The endpoint also suffered a TOCTOU race: a check-then-delete
pattern allowed the managed-local or default guard to pass if the
environment's role changed between the read and the delete
> - This pull request adds a blast-radius read endpoint so admins can
preview impact, hard-blocks the dangerous deletes atomically, cleans up
all dependent references after a valid delete, and fixes a concurrent
creation race in ensureLocalEnvironment
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#9251
## What Changed
- **New endpoint** `GET /api/environments/:id/delete-blast-radius`
(instance-admin gated): returns reference counts (agent defaults,
workspace selections, issue selections, project selections, secret
bindings, active leases, active setup sessions) and blocking reasons —
no config, env-var values, or secret data returned.
- **Atomic delete guard** `environmentService.removeIfDeletable(id)`:
performs the DELETE with an inline `WHERE driver != 'local' AND NOT
EXISTS (instanceSettings where defaultEnvironmentId = id)` predicate,
eliminating the TOCTOU race between the app-level check and the DB
write.
- **Route hardening**: `DELETE /environments/:id` now calls
`getDeleteBlastRadius` first (app-level check + logging), then calls
`removeIfDeletable` (atomic guard). If the atomic guard returns null the
route fetches a fresh blast-radius snapshot and rejects with a 409
Conflict carrying `deleteBlockedReasons`.
- **Reference cleanup on valid delete**: after a successful delete, the
route clears environment selections on all company execution workspaces,
issues, and projects; syncs env-var secret bindings to `{}` (removing
bindings for the deleted environment); syncs config secret refs to `[]`
for the environment target; and removes the SSH private-key secret if
one was stored.
- **Race fix in `ensureLocalEnvironment`**: the insert-or-nothing path
now catches a `environments_name_idx` unique-constraint violation and
falls through to the existing SELECT, treating the name conflict as
idempotent.
- **Shared types**: `EnvironmentDeleteBlastRadius` and
`EnvironmentDeleteBlockedReason` exported from `@paperclipai/shared`.
- **OpenAPI**: registers the new blast-radius endpoint; updates the
delete-environment response schema to document 403/404/409.
- **Tests**: 56 existing environment-route and service tests continue to
pass; new service-level regression tests assert the atomic guard rejects
`local`-driver environments and instance-default environments and
succeeds for deletable ones.
## Verification
```
corepack pnpm exec vitest run \
server/src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts \
server/src/__tests__/environment-service.test.ts
# 56 tests, all passing
corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck
node scripts/ensure-plugin-build-deps.mjs
cd server && ../node_modules/.bin/tsc --noEmit
```
## Risks
- **Blast-radius endpoint auth**: guarded by
`assertCanAccessInstanceEnvironments`, the same gate as the existing
environment-list and delete routes. Non-admin callers receive 401/403
before any data is returned.
- **Atomic guard may reject a delete that the app-level check passed**:
this is intentional — it means the environment became protected between
the read and the write. The caller receives a fresh blast-radius
snapshot explaining why.
- **Secret cleanup ordering**: cleanup runs after the atomic DELETE
succeeds, in parallel across companies. If cleanup partially fails the
environment row is already gone; partial-cleanup state is recoverable by
re-running the sync operations. Risk: low — these are idempotent
upsert/sync operations.
- **ensureLocalEnvironment race fix**: swapping a unique-constraint
error for an idempotent SELECT adds one extra query on the conflict
path. This path is rare (only fires during concurrent boot) and is
significantly safer than the previous behavior.
- **No migration**: all changes are application-level; no schema changes
required.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Adapter packages are the bridge between the control plane and local
agent harnesses such as Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI.
> - ACP support was concentrated in a separate `acpx_local` adapter,
which made ACP feel like a separate agent choice instead of an execution
capability of the harness adapters.
> - Claude, Codex, and Gemini now have ACP-capable harnesses, so the
native adapter should own ACP selection, fallback, config, transcript
parsing, and environment diagnostics.
> - The standalone ACPX adapter still needs a compatibility path for
existing rows, but it should not be offered as an active adapter for new
agents.
> - This pull request moves the shared ACP runtime into
`@paperclipai/acpx-engine`, wires Claude/Codex/Gemini local adapters to
prefer ACP when prerequisites are available, and retires `acpx_local` to
a tombstone.
> - The benefit is one adapter per harness, richer ACP transcripts by
default where possible, and a migration path for existing Claude/Codex
ACPX agents.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Closes#5932 — the broken default `acpx_local` Claude path is replaced
by native `claude_local` ACP support, existing Claude/Codex ACPX rows
migrate to native adapters, and new agents no longer choose the
standalone ACPX adapter.
Refs #4893 — original merged ACPX local adapter runtime that this PR
replaces with native per-harness ACP engines.
Refs #6590 — prior ACPX-Claude seamlessness work folded into the new
native Claude ACP path.
Refs #197 — related open generic ACP/Kiro adapter work; this PR does not
close it because Kiro/custom generic ACP remains a separate adapter
decision.
Refs #7018 — related Kimi-specific `acpx_local` shell failure; this PR
retires the built-in standalone adapter but does not add a native Kimi
adapter.
Refs #8864 — related ACPX prompt/API guidance PR; this PR moves runtime
guidance into the shared/native ACP engine path instead of the old
standalone adapter.
Refs #8881 — related `acpx_local` POSIX shell failure from the old
`acpx` pin; this PR updates ACP dependencies but does not claim
custom/OMP ACP support as a first-class native adapter.
Refs #8964 — related open `acpx_local` stderr cleanup PR; this PR makes
the old runtime path obsolete for new agents but keeps it as a
non-closing reference.
Problem description:
- The standalone `acpx_local` adapter duplicates Claude/Codex agent
choices that already have first-class local adapters.
- ACP should be an execution engine capability of each harness adapter
when the underlying harness supports ACP.
- Existing `acpx_local` agents should either migrate to native harness
adapters or fail with an explicit retirement message instead of silently
falling back to the process adapter.
## What Changed
- Added `@paperclipai/acpx-engine` as the shared ACP execution,
session-codec, CLI formatter, and UI parser package.
- Wired `claude_local`, `codex_local`, and `gemini_local` to auto-select
ACP by default when prerequisites pass, with `engine=cli` opt-out and
`engine=acp` strict mode.
- Added ACP config schema/UI fields, environment checks, session-codec
preservation, transcript parsing, and adapter capability metadata for
the native adapters.
- Retired `acpx_local` to a server tombstone, removed its
UI/package/runtime image surface, and added a migration for existing
Claude/Codex ACPX agents.
- Updated package manifests, lockfile, release tooling, docs, Kubernetes
sandbox defaults, and tests.

Note: the server typecheck script calls `pnpm` internally; this dev
shell exposes pnpm through Corepack only, so I ran the two script steps
manually with `corepack pnpm`.
## Risks
- Migration changes existing `acpx_local` Claude/Codex agents to native
adapter types and clears old ACPX task sessions/runtime state.
- Custom ACP commands remain on the retired tombstone and will need a
separate future adapter/plugin path.
- ACP auto-selection depends on local Node and ACP server command
prerequisites; remote and unsupported environments fall back to CLI
unless `engine=acp` is explicit.
- `@paperclipai/acpx-engine` is a new public package and needs npm
trusted-publishing bootstrap before release automation can publish it.

Adds company skill fork precheck metadata, fork result/reassignment contracts, selected-agent reassignment during fork creation, and targeted server/shared test coverage.
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents tackle complex tasks via *plan* flows: a planner decomposes
work into child issues, which are accepted by the board and then
executed
> - When a plan is accepted, `createChild` in `issues.ts` inserts child
issues pre-bound to the parent's already-realized execution workspace —
carrying over its concrete branch ref
> - If the repository's base ref advances between plan acceptance and a
child's first heartbeat, the child inherits a stale branch that no
longer matches the current base
> - At first heartbeat the workspace validator detects the mismatch and
freezes the child ("branch freeze"), blocking it from starting any work
> - The real fix is to strip the concrete workspace binding when
creating accepted-plan children: they should receive only the unresolved
*intent* (mode, baseRef, branchTemplate) and realize a fresh workspace
from the current base on their own first heartbeat
> - This PR implements that strip, adds a regression test that proves a
post-base-advance child realizes cleanly, and also fixes
`parseIssueExecutionWorkspaceSettings` so `environmentId` is not
silently dropped on update round-trips (a latent bug that was masking
the original fix)
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this bug. Bug description follows the
bug-report template:
**What happened:** Accepted-plan decomposition pre-binds child issues to
the parent's realized execution workspace branch (`executionWorkspaceId`
+ `executionWorkspaceBranch`). When `origin/master` advances between
plan acceptance and the child's first heartbeat, the workspace branch
interlock fires and the child is permanently frozen before it can start.
**Expected behavior:** Accepted-plan children should receive only
unresolved workspace intent (mode, git strategy fields) and realize a
fresh isolated worktree from the current base on first heartbeat. A
base-ref advance between acceptance and first-run should be transparent.
**Steps to reproduce:**
1. Accept a plan that decomposes into one or more child issues
(isolated_workspace + git_worktree mode).
2. Allow `origin/master` to advance (new merge).
3. Observe the first child heartbeat: workspace validation fails with a
branch-freeze error.
**Paperclip version:** current `master` (pre-fix).
**Deployment mode:** any (affects all modes that use isolated workspace
+ git worktree strategy).
Supersedes #9227 (earlier attempt, now closed — the fix was incomplete
because `environmentId` was silently dropped during
`parseIssueExecutionWorkspaceSettings` update round-trips, causing the
child workspace to lose its environment binding; this PR includes that
fix).
## What Changed
- **`server/src/issues.ts` — `createChild` / accepted-plan decomposition
path:** strip resolved workspace fields (`executionWorkspaceId`,
concrete branch) when creating accepted-plan children; preserve only
unresolved intent fields (`mode`, `baseRef`, `branchTemplate`,
`environmentId`, runtime/provisioning settings).
- **`server/src/execution-workspace-policy.ts` —
`parseIssueExecutionWorkspaceSettings`:** preserve `environmentId`
through update round-trips (was silently dropped, causing environment to
detach on any workspace settings update).
-
**`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-accepted-plan-workspace-refresh.test.ts`:**
new regression test — accepted-plan child created after `origin/master`
moves realizes a fresh isolated worktree from the moved base and passes
workspace execution.
- **`server/src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts`:** extended
workspace-linkage and `createChild` tests covering the accepted-plan
strip and the unchanged direct-child path.
## Verification
```sh
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-accepted-plan-workspace-refresh.test.ts
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts -t "workspace linkage|accepted plan decomposition|createChild applies"
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
```
All three pass on this branch.
## Risks
**Low.** The change is scoped to the accepted-plan `createChild` code
path. The direct child / follow-up issue creation path (normal non-plan
decomposition) is unchanged and covered by existing tests. The
`parseIssueExecutionWorkspaceSettings` fix is additive — it now
preserves a field that was previously silently dropped, so no consumer
loses data.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is an open-source platform for orchestrating AI agents;
agents run inside execution workspaces that range from a shared
container to full git worktrees cloned from a project repository.
> - Isolated git-worktree workspaces require a project to determine
which repository to clone — without a project the worktree base path
cannot be computed.
> - A task pinned to `isolated_workspace` + `git_worktree` with no
project was previously accepted at creation time but failed late at
dispatch with the opaque `workspace_validation_failed` /
`git_worktree_base_agent_home` error — only after the heartbeat
attempted to provision the workspace.
> - Fail-closed validation should happen in two places: (1) explicit
create/update pins that contradict the requirement are rejected at the
HTTP layer with a structured 422; (2) rows that reach the heartbeat
dispatcher with this invalid combination (e.g. through inheritance or a
retroactively-removed project) are blocked before any heartbeat run or
adapter spawn.
> - This PR adds the shared detection policy, the create/update guard in
the issues service, and the heartbeat pre-dispatch guard, together with
focused unit tests for all three layers.
> - The benefit is deterministic early failure with a clear remediation
message instead of a late, cryptic runtime error.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No upstream public GitHub issue — describing the problem inline
(bug-report format).
**What happened?**
Creating an issue with `executionWorkspaceSettings: { mode:
"isolated_workspace", type: "git_worktree" }` and no `projectId` was
accepted without error. The issue then became blocked at dispatch time
with the opaque message `git_worktree_base_agent_home` /
`workspace_validation_failed` — surfaced only after the heartbeat
attempted to provision the workspace.
**Expected behavior**
The platform should reject the invalid combination at create/update time
with a structured 422 that includes a clear remediation message, before
any heartbeat resource is consumed.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Call `POST /api/issues` (or `PATCH /api/issues/:id`) with
`executionWorkspaceSettings: { mode: "isolated_workspace", type:
"git_worktree" }` and omit `projectId` (or set it to `null`).
2. Observe: request succeeds (200/201).
3. Assign the issue to an agent and watch it enter `blocked` with a
cryptic `workspace_validation_failed` error at dispatch.
**Related prior fix** — Refs #4844 (`fix(validator): reject static cwd
combined with git_worktree strategy`) — same validation area, different
dimension (static cwd vs. missing project).
**Paperclip version / commit**
Latest `master` (pre-this-PR).
**Deployment mode**
Standard (app-global server).
## What Changed
- **`execution-workspace-policy.ts`** — new shared
`detectWorkspaceWorktreeRequiresProject` function returning a stable
`workspace_worktree_requires_project` policy violation when an isolated
git-worktree task has no project, project workspace, or reusable
execution workspace; exports canonical remediation text used by both the
HTTP guard and the heartbeat guard.
- **`issues.ts`** — create and update paths check the new policy before
persisting; explicit pins to `isolated_workspace` / `operator_branch` +
`git_worktree` with no project are rejected with a 422 including the
policy code and remediation text.
- **`heartbeat.ts`** — pre-dispatch preflight checks the same policy for
rows that reach the heartbeat with the invalid combination (e.g. through
inheritance); such rows are marked `blocked` with a skipped wakeup
request, durable issue comment, and activity log before any heartbeat
run or adapter spawn.
- **`execution-workspace-policy.test.ts`** — focused policy-layer unit
tests for detection logic and remediation text.
- **`issues-service.test.ts`** — create/update 422 guard tests for the
new policy.
- **`heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts`** — pre-dispatch
blocking test for inherited/ambiguous invalid rows; also fixes a cleanup
race in the existing test suite.
## Verification
```sh
pnpm exec vitest run \
server/src/__tests__/execution-workspace-policy.test.ts \
server/src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts \
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
# Targeted regression
pnpm exec vitest run \
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts \
-t "blocks projectless isolated git-worktree issues before dispatch"
```
All three test files and typecheck passed locally before this PR was
opened.
## Risks
**Low risk.** The policy detection function is pure with no side
effects. The create/update guard only triggers on explicit
`isolated_workspace` or `operator_branch` + `git_worktree` pins combined
with a missing project — it does not fire on inherited settings (handled
by the heartbeat preflight), so there is no false-positive rejection
risk for valid tasks. The heartbeat guard fires before any resource is
provisioned; the only behavioral change for already-invalid rows is that
they receive a clear `blocked` status and durable comment instead of a
late cryptic error.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing GitHub issue. Describing inline:
**Bug (blocker wake reconciliation):** `issue_blockers_resolved` wakes
can be missed when:
1. A `workspace_finalize` heartbeat retries dependency resolution using
its own inline loop instead of the shared level-triggered backstop,
making them diverge over time.
2. The `blockedByIssueIds` dependency is set (or the issue is moved to
`blocked`) *after* the blocker already reached `done` — the PATCH-time
wake fires on a non-blocked issue and the dependency reconciliation
never catches up.
3. An assignee briefly becomes `null` between the blocker reaching
`done` and the reconciliation sweep running — the sweep skips the issue
and never retries.
Related PRs:
- Refs #8009 — adds dedup for `issue_blockers_resolved` re-fires
(complementary; prevents over-firing; this PR ensures under-firing is
caught)
- Refs #6522 — `auto-unblock dependents with no assignee` (related
no-assignee edge case)
## What Changed
- **`server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`** — remove the inline
dependency-wake retry loop from the `workspace_finalize` path; delegate
to the shared `reconcileResolvedDependencyWakeups` helper instead
- **`server/src/services/recovery/service.ts`** — split the
resolved-blocker wake reconciliation sweep out from under the
`liveness_escalation_auto_recovery` feature flag; the sweep runs
unconditionally while escalation *creation* remains behind the flag
- **`server/src/__tests__/issue-dependency-wakeups-routes.test.ts`** —
regression: `blockedBy` set after blocker already done still triggers a
reconciliation wake
- **`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation.test.ts`**
— regression: assignee-null churn before reconciliation; stale skipped
dependency wakes do not suppress a fresh reconciliation wake
## Verification
```
pnpm exec vitest run \
server/src/__tests__/issue-dependency-wakeups-routes.test.ts \
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation.test.ts
```
23 tests, all passing locally. `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server
typecheck` clean.
## Risks
Low risk. Bounded blast radius:
- The reconciliation sweep only considers non-hidden `blocked` issues
with an agent assignee
- Uses keyset pagination with an existing 500-candidate cap
- Reuses dependency readiness/finalize gating logic unchanged
- Skips issues with existing active/queued runs and pending interactions
- Deduplicates against live/completed `issue_blockers_resolved` wakes
(skipped/cancelled wakes intentionally do not suppress a fresh
reconciliation)
- Observability: healed reconciliations emit
`issue.blockers_resolved_wake_emitted` activity and log the healed issue
ids and source

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The work timeline helps operators understand when agent and user
activity actually happened across a project.
> - The timeline view needs clearer interaction context so activity is
easier to inspect and reason about.
> - The existing story coverage did not fully exercise the denser
activity states needed to review this UI safely.
> - This pull request expands the work timeline data shape, service
behavior, UI rendering, tests, and Storybook story so the activity
timeline is easier to verify.
> - The benefit is a more inspectable timeline for project activity,
backed by targeted server and UI coverage.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue found, so this PR describes the feature inline
following the feature request template.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: `server/`, `packages/shared`, and `ui/`.
**Problem or motivation**
Project operators need a clearer timeline view that shows when work
activity happened, how much agent time is represented inside the
selected window, and enough realistic activity states for safe visual
review. Sparse mock data and unbounded summary calculations make it
harder to trust the timeline when inspecting historical or capped
windows.
**Proposed solution**
Enrich the work timeline activity data returned by the service, render
clearer top-level timeline summary stats, clamp duration calculations to
the returned window, prorate token totals for partially visible spans,
and add Storybook/test coverage with realistic timeline activity data.
**Alternatives considered**
Keeping the existing sparse timeline story was considered, but it would
leave dense activity layouts and selected-window summary behavior
under-reviewed. Counting full span usage for partially visible spans was
also considered, but it makes historical windows report activity outside
the displayed range.
**Roadmap alignment**
Searched `ROADMAP.md` for timeline/activity references and found no
conflicting planned core work.
**Additional context**
This PR does not include migrations and does not commit generated design
screenshots or images.
## What Changed
- Extended shared work timeline activity types and server timeline
service behavior.
- Updated the timeline page and work timeline chart for richer activity
rendering.
- Clamped timeline runtime summary calculations to the returned window
and prorated summary token usage for clipped spans.
- Added and updated targeted server/UI tests for timeline activity
behavior.
- Added Storybook timeline mock coverage and Storybook preview setup
needed by the story.
## Verification
- `git rebase origin/master` completed cleanly after fetching
`paperclipai/paperclip:master`.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/work-timeline-service.test.ts
ui/src/components/timeline/WorkTimelineChart.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/Timeline.test.tsx` — latest run: 3 files passed, 28 tests
passed.
- Greptile review completed at 5/5 with no unresolved Greptile threads
after fixes.
- GitHub checks completed green on the latest head SHA; Storybook visual
regression was skipped by the workflow.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` currently fails locally on existing
`origin/master` violations in `ui/src/components/ActivityCharts.tsx` and
`ui/src/components/IssueRecoveryActionCard.tsx`; this PR does not modify
those files.
## Risks
Low to moderate risk. The change affects the work timeline service
response shape and timeline UI rendering, so regressions would likely
show up as missing/incorrect timeline activity display. Targeted service
and UI tests cover the changed behavior. No migrations are included.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex running GPT-5 as a tool-enabled coding agent with local
shell and GitHub CLI access. Exact runtime model ID/context-window size
was not exposed by the environment.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The board sidebar is a high-frequency navigation surface for
companies, projects, and work queues.
> - Starred projects render as child rows under Projects in the expanded
sidebar.
> - The collapsed rail should align every nav icon in the same rail
column.
> - The starred-project child indent was still applied in the collapsed
rail, which pushed the project glyph out of alignment.
> - This pull request keeps the expanded hierarchy indent while removing
it only for the collapsed rail.
> - The benefit is a cleaner collapsed sidebar without changing expanded
sidebar hierarchy.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists.
## What happened?
In the collapsed sidebar rail, starred project rows kept the expanded
child indentation. That pushed the project glyph out of alignment with
the rest of the collapsed sidebar icons.
## Expected behavior
Collapsed starred project icons should align with the other sidebar rail
icons while the expanded sidebar should keep the child-row indentation
under Projects.
## Steps to reproduce
1. Open Paperclip with at least one starred project.
2. Collapse the sidebar into rail mode.
3. Compare the starred project glyph position with the other collapsed
sidebar glyphs.
## Paperclip version or commit
Reproduced on the PR base before this branch; fixed on commit
e57d14343d with CI cleanup on commit
12aafe8959.
## Deployment mode
Local dev (`pnpm dev`).
## What Changed
- Applies the starred-project left padding only when the sidebar is not
in rail mode.
- Adds a regression test covering expanded and collapsed starred-project
rendering.
- Makes the heartbeat worktree suppression test cleanup tolerate late
heartbeat run events before deleting heartbeat runs.
## Verification
- Passed: `pnpm exec vitest run
ui/src/components/SidebarStarredProjects.test.tsx`
- Passed: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-worktree-suppression.test.ts`
- Passed: PR #9215 latest-head GitHub checks on commit
`12aafe8959351826038baf0c1e401fb44913c67c`
- Passed: Greptile 5/5 with no inline comments or unresolved review
threads on commit `12aafe8959351826038baf0c1e401fb44913c67c`
- Known existing baseline failure: `pnpm check:token-gates` reports
violations in `ui/src/components/ActivityCharts.tsx` and
`ui/src/components/IssueRecoveryActionCard.tsx`, which this PR does not
touch.
## Risks
Low risk. The UI change adjusts one conditional class on starred project
links and preserves the expanded sidebar layout. The server test change
is cleanup-only and does not alter production behavior.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 Codex coding agent with local command execution and
repository editing tools.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents run in heartbeat runs orchestrated by the server; run
lifecycle, retry scheduling, and the dashboard's run-activity metrics
are the subsystems involved
> - A spike in "failed" tasks traced to three causes: server restarts
killing in-flight runs and mislabeling them as failures, deterministic
workspace-validation loops when a worktree's branch diverged, and
provider quota/usage-limit errors being classified as generic transient
failures (putting agents into error state and polluting metrics)
> - Killed-then-recovered runs and quota waits are not product failures,
so both the runtime behavior and the reporting needed to distinguish
them
> - This pull request drains runs gracefully on shutdown with idempotent
restart retries, self-heals workspace branch mismatches, adds a
quota-aware failure class with reset-time retry, separates recovered
restart kills from true failures on the dashboard, and documents restart
hygiene for operators
> - The benefit is fewer spurious failures, automatic recovery instead
of manual repair, and dashboard metrics that reflect real failure rates
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists; describing the bug inline per the
bug-report template:
**What happened?**
In-flight heartbeat runs are marked `failed` when the server restarts,
even though a retry later succeeds. Worktrees whose checked-out branch
diverges from the issue branch fail workspace validation on every
subsequent run with no recovery path. Provider quota/usage-limit
responses are treated as generic transient upstream errors, putting
agents into an error state and retrying before the quota window resets.
The dashboard counts all of these as true failures, inflating failure
metrics.
**Expected behavior**
Graceful shutdown should interrupt (not fail) running runs and chain
exactly one recovery retry. Workspace validation should repair
recoverable branch mismatches automatically. Quota errors should get
their own error class with the retry scheduled at the provider reset
time and the agent left idle. The dashboard should report recovered
restart kills separately from true failures.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a heartbeat run, then restart the server (SIGTERM) while it is
in flight — the run lands as `failed` with a process-loss error code
even when its retry succeeds
2. Check out an issue whose worktree branch has diverged (e.g. after a
force-moved branch) — every subsequent run fails
`workspace_validation_failed` deterministically
3. Drive an agent into a provider usage-limit window — the run fails as
a generic transient upstream error and the agent enters an error state
instead of idling until the reset time
**Paperclip version or commit**
master (base c07e650cd)
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted dev plane (Linux, node server + embedded Postgres)
## What Changed
- Graceful shutdown (SIGTERM hook) now marks in-flight runs
`interrupted` instead of `failed` and enqueues an idempotent
process-loss retry (pre-insert existence check on `retryOfRunId`
prevents duplicates; bursts chain exactly one retry per interrupted run)
- Run-liveness classification routes `interrupted` to `needs_followup`
rather than `failed`
- Workspace validation self-heals branch mismatch / missing-branch
states instead of failing deterministically on every run
- New `provider_quota` error class: session/usage-limit responses
schedule the retry at the provider reset time and leave the agent idle
(not errored); fixes a case where a quota-terminated run with subtype
`success` was misclassified as failed; HTTP 529 remains transient
- Dashboard run-activity query separates recovered restart kills from
true failures via a recursive CTE over `retry_of_run_id` (ancestors of a
succeeded retry count as recovered), adds a per-day failed-by-error-code
breakdown, and binds the window start as a timestamptz string
- Activity charts UI: amber "Recovered" segment with legend and per-day
error-code tooltip; success-rate chart counts recovered runs as
successes
- New ops runbook: `docs/deploy/dev-plane-restart-hygiene.md`
## Verification

`heartbeat-retry-scheduling` (95 tests), quota parse +
execute/retry-scheduling suites (100 tests), workspace self-heal suites
(200 tests), dashboard run-activity tests (3 tests) — all green,
typecheck exit 0
- Dashboard CTE cross-checked against a real development database: two
restart-burst days moved from 17 to 8 and 19 to 6 true failures once
recovered kills were separated, matching manual retry-chain inspection
- Screenshot verification of the real ActivityCharts component
(recovered segment + tooltip) during QA
## Risks
- Behavioral shift: runs killed by a restart no longer surface as
`failed`; anyone consuming raw run statuses will see `interrupted` (new
status value) — dashboards/queries in this repo were updated accordingly
- Retry chaining on repeated restarts is bounded (one chained retry per
interruption) but a pathological restart loop still delays work rather
than failing it; the runbook covers operator hygiene for that case
- Dashboard query adds a recursive CTE; cost is bounded by the
day-window row count and was verified against production-sized data
- No schema migrations; low migration risk

harness, extended thinking with tool use; implementation commits also

## Summary
- The heartbeat invoke and resume endpoints log activity with
`actor.runId` (the caller's auto-generated run ID from JWT), which
hasn't been registered in `heartbeat_runs` yet
- This causes a FK constraint violation: `activity_log.run_id →
heartbeat_runs.id`
- Fix: use `run.id` (the newly created heartbeat_run) instead, which is
guaranteed to exist in the table
## Test plan
- [ ] Trigger a heartbeat invoke via the API — verify no FK constraint
error in logs
- [ ] Trigger a heartbeat resume — verify activity_log row is created
successfully
- [ ] Verify existing activity_log queries still return correct results

work.
> - The board sidebar is the primary navigation surface for operators
scanning companies, projects, tasks, agents, and related control-plane
tools.

restoring the Goals sidebar link.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this internal task, so the feature
request is described inline.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: `ui/`, `server/`, and `packages/shared`.
**Problem or motivation**
The Goals route remains available, but the top-level Goals sidebar entry
makes that surface part of the default operator navigation. While the
goals surface is still being evaluated, operators need a quieter default
sidebar without losing an escape hatch for teams that still rely on the
link.
**Proposed solution**
Add a boolean instance experimental setting, `enableGoalsSidebarLink`,
default it to `false`, and render the Goals sidebar link only when the
setting is enabled. Expose the toggle in Instance Experimental Settings
so operators can restore the link without changing routes or rebuilding
the app.
**Alternatives considered**
- Remove the Goals route entirely: rejected because this task only asks
to hide the sidebar entry point and preserve access for teams evaluating
goals.
- Keep the sidebar link always visible: rejected because it does not
provide the requested quieter default navigation.
- Hard-code a local UI flag: rejected because instance experimental
settings already provide the expected operator-controlled pattern.
**Roadmap alignment**
Checked `ROADMAP.md`; no overlapping goals/sidebar/experimental roadmap
entry was found.
**Additional context**
The `/goals` route is preserved. This PR only gates the sidebar
navigation item.
## What Changed
- Added `enableGoalsSidebarLink` to the shared instance experimental
settings type and validator, defaulting to `false`.
- Normalized the new setting in the server instance settings service.
- Hid the Goals sidebar nav item unless the new setting is enabled.
- Added a Goals Sidebar Link toggle to the Instance Experimental
Settings page.
- Updated shared, server, sidebar, and settings page tests for the new
setting.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/validators/instance.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts

- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD`
- `git merge-tree --write-tree HEAD origin/master`
- Searched for duplicate/related PRs by title and
`enableGoalsSidebarLink`; none found.
- Checked `ROADMAP.md` for overlapping goals/sidebar/experimental
entries; none found.
## Risks
Low risk. The main behavior shift is that operators who depended on the
sidebar Goals link need to enable the new experimental toggle. The
`/goals` route itself is not removed.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip manages execution workspaces for AI agent runs, each
associated with a git branch so the agent always works in a known code
state.
> - Workspace runtime reconciles an agent's checkout branch against the
workspace's recorded branch when a heartbeat resumes; without
forward-ancestry detection, any divergence fails closed and blocks the
run.
> - When the workspace branch has moved forward (e.g. after a feature
merge), the recorded branch is an ancestor of the current HEAD — a safe,
forward-only case that the previous implementation refused even though
it carries no safety risk.
> - The gap means legitimate forward-advancing deployments require
manual operator intervention to unblock agents every time, creating
operational friction and interrupting automated workflows.
> - This pull request adds a flag-gated reconcile-forward path that
detects when the current branch is a strict forward descendant of the
workspace branch and auto-reconciles, while preserving fail-closed
behavior for all non-forward or flag-off cases.
> - It also threads the active execution workspace id through restore
and finalize call sites so the reconcile verdict can be persisted
durably across heartbeats.
> - The benefit is that agents resume automatically from
forward-advancing workspace branches without operator intervention,
while adversarial and backward branch changes continue to fail closed.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This PR adds an auto-forward reconcile path for execution workspace
branch tracking. When a workspace's recorded branch is a strict ancestor
of the current HEAD (a forward-only advancement), the runtime now
auto-reconciles rather than hard-blocking. The feature is gated behind
an explicit runtime flag, defaults to off, and falls back to fail-closed
behavior for all non-forward or flag-off cases.
The prior implementation treated all branch divergences identically: any
mismatch between the recorded workspace branch and the current HEAD
failed closed. This prevented agents from resuming after routine forward
deployments (e.g. after a feature branch merges into the workspace
branch), requiring manual operator action to unblock every affected run.
## What Changed
- Added `reconcileForward` flag-gated path in workspace runtime
reconciliation logic that allows auto-reconciliation when the workspace
branch is a strict ancestor of the current HEAD.
- Threaded active execution workspace id through `restore` and
`finalize` call sites so reconcile verdicts are persisted durably.
- Added `plainLanguageReason` and `ancestryVerdict` evidence fields to
the reconciliation result structure for operator visibility.
- Stabilized a branch containment test that exposed a late run-linked
activity FK cleanup race during the focused Vitest rerun.
- All new paths remain fail-closed when the flag is off or when the
branch relationship is not strictly forward.
## Verification
```bash
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
pnpm exec vitest run \

server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts \
server/src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts
git diff --check origin/master..HEAD
```
All 3 test files / 98 tests pass. Typecheck passes for both shared and
server packages.
> **Note:** This is a stacked PR on top of PR #9170 (Add execution
workspace branch reconciliation route). The diff shown targets that
branch; the combined change builds on the reconciliation route
infrastructure it provides.
## Risks
- **Flag-off default:** The reconcile-forward path is off by default. No
behavior change for existing workspaces unless the flag is explicitly
enabled by an operator.
- **Ancestry check correctness:** The forward-only guard uses git
ancestry verification; a branch that is not a strict ancestor of HEAD
remains fail-closed. Adversarial or concurrent branch resets are not
auto-reconciled.
- **FK cleanup race (stabilized):** A late run-linked activity FK
cleanup race in the containment test was exposed during the Vitest
rerun. The stabilization commit addresses the non-deterministic ordering
without changing production behavior.
- **Stacking dependency:** This PR must not be merged before PR #9170
merges, as it is built on top of the reconciliation route
infrastructure.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is an open-source app that lets teams run AI agents for
work tasks; each agent session uses an execution workspace — a git
checkout — to track the agent's active code state.
> - Every execution workspace has an expected target branch
(`PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACE_BRANCH`). The workspace git HEAD should always
point to that branch so agents commit in the right place.
> - When workspace git HEAD diverges from the expected branch — for
example after a harness branch-name fix or an accidental `checkout -b`
during a CI-retrigger — the discrepancy must be corrected before agents
can continue safely.
> - Operators (board users) need a controlled, audited path to reconcile
a workspace's live branch back to the expected target, with an override
escape-hatch for cases where the normal forward path is blocked.
> - This pull request adds a board-only `POST
/api/execution-workspaces/:id/reconcile-branch` service operation and
route that validates safety preconditions, resolves matching
recovery-action fingerprints, posts source-issue audit comments, and
records the reconciliation outcome.
> - The benefit is that operators can correct branch divergence through
the API with a full audit trail, instead of via raw database edits.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this change. Context below follows the
feature-request template format.
**Subsystem affected**
server/ — REST API & orchestration services; packages/shared — request
validation.
**Problem or motivation**
Execution workspaces have an expected branch record that must match the
checked-out worktree branch. When the live git branch and stored branch
record drift apart, operators currently lack a first-class, audited API
to reconcile the record. The fallback is manual database repair or
workspace replacement, both of which are risky and hard to audit.
**Proposed solution**
Add a board-only execution workspace branch reconciliation operation.
`forward` mode re-inspects the server-side git state and only updates
the branch record when the stored branch is an ancestor of the
checked-out branch. `override` mode is a break-glass path that requires
board access and an operator reason. Both modes require a clean, idle
workspace, write audit details, post a source-issue audit comment, and
resolve the matching workspace-validation recovery action.
**Alternatives considered**
Manual database edit (no durable audit trail and easy to mistype),
recreating the workspace (heavier operational disruption), or trusting
client-supplied ancestry evidence (unsafe because the server must verify
the git state itself).
**Roadmap alignment**
This is incremental hardening for execution-workspace recovery and
operator controls. It does not duplicate a public roadmap item.
**Additional context**
The endpoint is intended for operator recovery, not normal agent control
flow, so the generated OpenAPI metadata and runtime route both classify
it as board-only.
## What Changed
- Added `reconcileExecutionWorkspaceBranchSchema` discriminated-union
validator (`forward` with optional reason, `override` requiring a
non-empty reason string) to
`packages/shared/src/validators/execution-workspace.ts`
- Exported `ReconcileExecutionWorkspaceBranch` type and the new schema
from the shared package index
- Added board-only reconcile-branch service operation in the execution
workspaces service: safety checks, recovery-action fingerprint
resolution, source-issue audit comment, and outcome recording
- Added clean-worktree and stopped-runtime-service preconditions before
branch-record mutation.
- Marked the reconcile route as board-only in OpenAPI generated auth
metadata.
- Added `POST /api/execution-workspaces/:id/reconcile-branch` route
wired to the new service operation with board-permission gate
- Extended `execution-workspaces-routes.test.ts` and
`execution-workspaces-service.test.ts` to cover: safety-check rejection,
override-reason validation, audit-comment posting, and recovery-action
fingerprint resolution (2 files / 19 tests)
## Verification
```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-routes.test.ts server/src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts server/src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts
```
## Risks
- **Board-only gate:** the operation is gated behind the board
permission; no agent can trigger it without operator authorization.
- **Override requires reason:** the `override` mode requires a non-empty
reason string so every bypass is audited.
- **Idempotent recovery-action resolution:** re-running with the same
fingerprint is safe; duplicate resolution is a no-op.
- **No execution-state mutation:** the route records a reconciliation
intent and updates the branch record; it does not restart the workspace
or modify running agent state.
- Overall risk: **low**.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Operators spend a lot of time in issue detail pages and agent
activity views while supervising work
> - Those views were receiving large embedded project, workspace,
runtime-service, and heartbeat context payloads
> - Large payloads make issue comments and page loads slower, especially
on active issues with workspaces and runtime metadata
> - This pull request trims the issue detail and activity ledger
response shapes to the fields those views need
> - The benefit is faster issue detail loading without changing the
underlying project, workspace, or run persistence model
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue was found for this exact problem, so this PR
describes the bug inline using the bug report template fields.
### Pre-submission checklist
- [x] I have searched existing open and closed issues and this is not a
duplicate.
- [x] I am on the latest released version of Paperclip (or can reproduce
on `master`).
- [x] I have confirmed the error originates in Paperclip itself — not in
my agent adapter, API provider, or local configuration.
### What happened?
Issue detail and related activity responses could include bulky embedded
metadata such as project environment values, workspace metadata, stopped
runtime services, and heartbeat context snapshots. On active issues with
workspaces and long activity history, that makes issue comments and page
loads slower than needed.
### Expected behavior
Issue detail endpoints should return bounded, UI-oriented embeds that
avoid shipping large or sensitive internal blobs when the full object
graph is not needed.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Create or open an issue with a project workspace and execution
workspace.
2. Ensure the workspace has runtime services and heartbeat runs with
context snapshots.
3. Inspect `GET /api/issues/:id` and the issue activity ledger payloads.
4. Observe that the response includes large embedded
project/workspace/runtime/run fields unrelated to rendering the issue
detail page.
### Paperclip version or commit
Reproduced against current `master` lineage before this change.
### Deployment mode
Local dev / server API behavior.
### Installation method
Built from source (`pnpm dev` / `pnpm build`).
### Agent adapter(s) involved
Not adapter-specific (core API payload shape).
### Database mode
Not database-related; no migration.
### Access context
Board and agent-facing issue detail consumers can both benefit from
smaller payloads.
### Node.js version
Not version-specific.
### Operating system
Not OS-specific.
### Relevant logs or output
Not applicable.
### Relevant config (if applicable)
Not applicable.
### Additional context
Related search:
- Searched public GitHub issues for `currentExecutionWorkspace metadata
runtimeServices issue detail`; no matching issue found.
- Searched public GitHub PRs for `compact currentExecutionWorkspace
metadata runtimeServices`; no matching PR found.
### Privacy checklist
- [x] I have reviewed all pasted output for PII (usernames, file paths,
API keys, tokens, company names) and redacted where necessary.
## What Changed
- Added compact response shaping for issue detail project, project
workspace, execution workspace, and runtime-service embeds.
- Dropped large project `env`, workspace `metadata` / embedded runtime
service lists, execution workspace `metadata`, and non-active runtime
services from `GET /api/issues/:id` responses.
- Removed heartbeat `contextSnapshot` from the activity ledger query
result.
- Added focused route and activity-service tests covering the compact
response shape.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issues-goal-context-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/activity-service.test.ts --no-file-parallelism
--maxWorkers=1`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `git diff --check public/master..HEAD`
- Confirmed the branch is based on current
`paperclipai/paperclip:master` and contains no `pnpm-lock.yaml` or
`.github/workflows` changes.
## Risks
Low to medium risk. The persisted data model is unchanged, but consumers
relying on the full embedded project/workspace/runtime metadata from
`GET /api/issues/:id` will now need to fetch the dedicated resource
endpoint instead of depending on the issue detail payload.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Watchdogs keep issue execution moving by waking agents or creating
recovery paths when work stalls.
> - Open review states should generate useful follow-up, not repeated
duplicate wake requests for the same unresolved review condition.
> - Duplicate wakes create noise and can make the control plane look
busier without increasing progress.
> - This pull request deduplicates open watchdog review wake scheduling
and covers the behavior with scheduler tests.
> - The benefit is cleaner review wake behavior and fewer redundant
agent runs.

**Pre-submission checklist**
- [x] I have searched existing open and closed issues and this is not a
duplicate.
- [x] I am on the latest released version of Paperclip (or can reproduce
on `master`).
- [x] I have confirmed the error originates in Paperclip itself — not in
my agent adapter, API provider, or local configuration.
**What happened?**
Watchdog scheduling could enqueue duplicate open review wake requests
while the same unresolved review condition was already pending.
**Expected behavior**
A watchdog should avoid scheduling redundant review wakes for the same
unresolved condition while preserving legitimate wake paths.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create an issue state that requires an open watchdog review wake.
2. Run the watchdog scheduler once and observe a wake request.
3. Run the scheduler again before resolving the original review
condition.
4. Observe whether a duplicate wake is created.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at the PR base.
**Deployment mode**
Local dev (`pnpm dev`) and server deployments running watchdog
scheduling.
**Installation method**
Built from source (`pnpm dev` / `pnpm build`).
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
- [x] Not adapter-specific (core bug)
**Database mode**
Not database-related beyond scheduler persistence.
**Access context**
Agent wake scheduling and board-visible review state.
**Relevant logs or output**
Covered by the added scheduler regression test.
**Relevant config (if applicable)**
Not applicable.
**Additional context**
This suppresses duplicate wake scheduling only while the open review
state is still unresolved.
**Privacy checklist**
- [x] I have reviewed all pasted output for PII (usernames, file paths,
API keys, tokens, company names) and redacted where necessary.
## What Changed
- Added deduplication logic for open watchdog review wake scheduling.
- Added scheduler regression coverage for duplicate open review wake
suppression.
## Verification
- `/srv/paperclip/home/paperclipai/paperclip/node_modules/.bin/vitest
run server/src/__tests__/task-watchdogs-scheduler.test.ts`
## Risks
Low-to-medium risk. The change intentionally suppresses duplicate wake
scheduling, so reviewers should confirm no legitimate repeated wake path
depends on creating multiple open requests for the same unresolved
review state.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators depend on `/api/health` and OpenAPI status surfaces to
know whether the local control plane is healthy.
> - Database backups are a safety-critical background process, but
backup failures were not represented in health responses.
> - That gap means an instance can look healthy while backup state is
stale, failing, or unavailable.
> - This pull request adds backup-health evaluation and exposes it
through the health route, server startup wiring, and OpenAPI contract.
> - The benefit is earlier operator visibility when automatic backups
stop protecting instance data.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists. Inline bug report:
**Pre-submission checklist**
- [x] I have searched existing open and closed issues and this is not a
duplicate.
- [x] I am on the latest released version of Paperclip (or can reproduce
on `master`).
- [x] I have confirmed the error originates in Paperclip itself — not in
my agent adapter, API provider, or local configuration.
**What happened?**
Automatic database backup health was not included in the app health
response, so backup failures or stale backups could be missed while
`/api/health` still looked otherwise usable.
**Expected behavior**
The health endpoint should include backup-health details that let
operators identify disabled, stale, failing, or healthy backup states.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Configure a Paperclip instance with automatic database backups.
2. Force backup status into a stale or failing state.
3. Call `/api/health` and inspect whether backup state is represented.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at the PR base.
**Deployment mode**
Local dev (`pnpm dev`) and self-hosted server deployments.
**Installation method**
Built from source (`pnpm dev` / `pnpm build`).
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
- [x] Not adapter-specific (core bug)
**Database mode**
Embedded development Postgres and external Postgres backup paths.
**Access context**
Board/operator health checks.
**Relevant logs or output**
Covered by the added `server/src/__tests__/health.test.ts` cases.
**Relevant config (if applicable)**
Not applicable.
**Additional context**
This surfaces backup status only; it does not change backup execution
scheduling.
**Privacy checklist**
- [x] I have reviewed all pasted output for PII (usernames, file paths,
API keys, tokens, company names) and redacted where necessary.
## What Changed
- Added a database backup health service that classifies backup recency,
status, and failure conditions.
- Wired backup health into app/server startup and the health route
response.
- Documented the backup-health behavior in development docs and OpenAPI
output.
- Added focused health route tests for healthy, stale, disabled, and
failing backup states.
## Verification
- `/srv/paperclip/home/paperclipai/paperclip/node_modules/.bin/vitest
run server/src/__tests__/health.test.ts`
## Risks
Low-to-medium risk. This changes health response content and may affect
external health consumers that parse fields strictly. It should not
alter backup execution itself.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The issue/task orchestration subsystem tracks parent–child and
blocker–dependent relationships, forming a directed acyclic (in
intention) subtree below each root issue
> - Agents and operators have no lightweight way to inspect the
dependency and wake state across an entire issue subtree — they must
walk the tree issue-by-issue, making multiple round-trips with full
object fetches
> - A bounded, read-only subtree diagnostic endpoint lets callers
understand the health of an entire work tree (which nodes are blocked,
which are cycling, which have pending wakes) from a single authenticated
request
> - This pull request adds `GET /api/issues/:id/diagnostics/subtree`, a
depth/node/per-node capped traversal that reuses the blocker and wake
projection helpers from the companion blocker and wake diagnostics
endpoints (see Refs #9114, #9133)
> - The benefit is that platform operators, monitoring, and coaching
tooling can surface \"why is this subtree stalled?\" across all nodes
without database access or unbounded graph walks, using only data the
caller already has read permission for
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #9114 (companion blocker diagnostics endpoint — blocker projection
helpers reused here)
Refs #9133 (companion wake diagnostics endpoint — wake projection
helpers reused here)
## What Changed
- **New route** `GET /api/issues/:id/diagnostics/subtree` in
`server/src/routes/issues.ts`: returns a bounded subtree traversal
rooted at `:id`, with depth/node/per-node caps and explicit truncation
flags
- **Cycle-safe traversal**: visited-node set prevents infinite loops on
any accidental cycle in the ancestry graph
- **Per-node authorization**: each subtree node is individually filtered
through `assertIssueReadAllowed`; unauthorized nodes are omitted from
the response and do not influence aggregate counts
- **Blocker and wake reuse**: per-node blocker rows and wake events are
projected through the same helpers as #9114 and #9133 — raw wake
payloads, raw errors, activity details, and trigger detail fields are
stripped
- **Low-trust filtering**: the `mention-scoped` low-trust path redacts
node/blocker identifiers for unauthorized actors, consistent with #9133
- **Truncation reporting**: response includes `depthTruncated`,
`nodeTruncated`, and per-node `blockersTruncated`/`wakesTruncated` flags
when caps are hit
- **Shared types** in `@paperclipai/shared`:
`IssueSubtreeDiagnosticsResponse` and supporting node/blocker/wake types
exported from the shared package
- **OpenAPI tag registration** for the new route
- **API reference docs** in
`skills/paperclip/references/api-reference.md`
- **Test coverage**
(`server/src/__tests__/issue-subtree-diagnostics-routes.test.ts`,
embedded Postgres): happy path, quiet singleton (no children/blockers),
node cap truncation, mention-scoped low-trust filtering, cross-company
denial
## Verification
```bash
# Subtree diagnostics tests only
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/issue-subtree-diagnostics-routes.test.ts
# Full diagnostics suite (blocker + wake + subtree)
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/issue-blocker-diagnostics-routes.test.ts server/src/__tests__/issue-wake-diagnostics-routes.test.ts server/src/__tests__/issue-subtree-diagnostics-routes.test.ts
# Type-check shared and server packages
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
# Whitespace / diff check
git diff --check
```
All commands passed locally (5 subtree tests, 17 total across the three
diagnostics test files).
## Risks
- **No schema or migration changes** — read-only projection over
existing relations; no DDL risk
- **Bounded traversal** — depth, node count, and per-node blocker/wake
caps prevent unbounded graph walks; truncation is reported explicitly in
the response
- **Auth boundary** — root issue read is company-scoped and checked
before the subtree is built; each subtree node is individually
authorized; cross-company access is denied at `assertCompanyAccess`
- **No raw payloads** — raw wake payload, raw error, activity details,
and trigger detail fields are stripped from all nodes, consistent with
the companion endpoints
- Low overall risk; the endpoint is additive and read-only
## Model Used
- **Provider:** Anthropic
- **Model:** Claude Sonnet 4.6 (`claude-sonnet-4-6`)
- **Tool use:** yes (file reads, edits, bash execution, Paperclip API

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents run inside git worktrees; the heartbeat system establishes a
workspace branch and tracks it through checkout, realization, restore,
and finalization
> - When the live git branch diverges from the recorded workspace branch
mid-change (branch incoherence), the heartbeat must fail closed with
`workspace_validation_failed` and block the source issue with a recovery
action
> - There were no embedded-Postgres tests covering this fail-closed
behavior across the three interlock call sites: fresh git-worktree
realization, persisted workspace restore, and heartbeat finalization
> - This PR adds a single test file covering all three call sites with
an embedded-Postgres heartbeat test harness and asserts the exact
fail-closed outcome and evidence fields
> - The benefit is confidence that branch-incoherence containment is
correct and regressions in the interlock chain are caught before they
silently corrupt workspace state
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs: #6425 (related: enforce issue branch matches workspace on
wake/checkout)
No pre-existing public GitHub issue for this specific reproduction test
gap. The underlying problem:
**Bug / gap:** The heartbeat's branch-incoherence containment was
untested by any embedded-Postgres integration test. All three call sites
— fresh git-worktree realization, persisted workspace restore, and
finalization — could regress without detection. The fail-closed path
(`workspace_validation_failed` + source-issue block + deduped recovery
action) and the evidence fields surfaced to operators were unverified.
## What Changed
- Added
`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts`
with embedded-Postgres integration tests covering:
- **Fresh git-worktree realization** — heartbeat detects branch
divergence at workspace setup and fails closed
- **Persisted workspace restore** — re-entering a previously-established
workspace with a diverged branch fails closed instead of being silently
coerced into a generic reuse-failure path
- **Heartbeat finalization** — any late-stage branch incoherence
detected at finalization fails closed
- Asserts fail-closed behavior in all three cases: run status =
`workspace_validation_failed`, source issue status = `blocked`, exactly
one deduped workspace-validation recovery action on the blocked issue,
sibling issues on same/other workspaces retain their status
- Asserts evidence completeness: `expectedBranch`, `liveBranch`,
`expectedHead`, `liveHead`, `cleanliness`, `ancestryVerdict`,
`plainLanguageReason`, and `recoveryGuidance` fields are present and
correct on the run
- Ensures release/promotion errors after setup failures are logged (not
silently swallowed), making cleanup failures observable
## Verification
```bash
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
```
All 3 tests pass, typecheck clean.
## Risks
Low. Test-only change — no production code paths are modified. The tests
use an embedded-Postgres harness and do not touch any shared or live
database.
## Model Used
Claude Sonnet 4.6 (`claude-sonnet-4-6`) via Claude Code — tool use mode,
standard context window.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open-source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The task/issue lifecycle subsystem tracks when agents wake up, are
suppressed, or are deferred, recording each wake request in
`agent_wakeup_requests` and each defer/suppression event in
`activity_log`
> - When an agent appears stuck or doesn't resume after a dependency
resolves, there is currently no read-only API surface to inspect its
wake history — operators must query the database directly
> - Making wake history queryable via a first-class endpoint lets
operators, support, and monitoring tools diagnose "why didn't this agent
wake up?" without database access
> - This pull request adds `GET /api/issues/:id/diagnostics/wakes`,
returning a bounded 14-day/50-row projection of wake requests and
defer/suppression activity events, with a deterministic `diagnosis`
field and a `likelyReason` inference — including a Case-B inference ("no
wake enqueued because a visible blocker is not done") that reuses the
blocker readiness data from the companion blocker diagnostics endpoint
(see Refs #9114)
> - The benefit is that platform operators can answer "why is this agent
not waking up?" from a safe, read-only HTTP endpoint rather than needing
direct database access, and CI/monitoring can assert expected wake
behavior
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #9114 (companion blocker diagnostics endpoint, already merged —
this PR extends the same diagnostic surface to wake/activity history)
## What Changed
- **New route** `GET /api/issues/:id/diagnostics/wakes` in
`server/src/routes/issues.ts`: returns a bounded (14-day window, 50-row
cap) projection of `agent_wakeup_requests` rows and wake-relevant
`activity_log` rows (defer/suppression events)
- **Sanitized projection**: raw `payload`, `details`, `error`, and
`triggerDetail` fields are stripped; unknown free-form `source`,
`reason`, and `status` values are projected to `"other"` to prevent
schema bleed
- **Deterministic `diagnosis` and `likelyReason` fields**: includes
Case-B inference ("no wake enqueued — visible blocker not done") that
calls the existing blocker-readiness helper from Slice 1 (#9114) so the
wake surface can explain missing wakes caused by outstanding blockers
- **Auth**: `assertCompanyAccess` + `assertIssueReadAllowed`;
cross-company requests are denied; Case-B blocker inference filters by
caller trust level so hidden (low-trust) blockers are mentioned but not
identified
- **Types in `@paperclipai/shared`**: `IssueWakeDiagnosticsResponse`,
`WakeEvent`, `ActivityEvent` exported from the shared package
- **OpenAPI tag registration** for the new route
- **Skill reference docs** in
`skills/paperclip/references/api-reference.md` documenting the endpoint
contract
- **Test coverage**
(`server/src/__tests__/issue-wake-diagnostics-routes.test.ts`, embedded
Postgres): happy path, empty/null diagnosis, Case-B inference, low-trust
hidden blocker, cross-company denial, raw blob minimization, cap
behaviour, combined blocker+wake test run
## Verification
```bash
# Wake diagnostics tests only
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/issue-wake-diagnostics-routes.test.ts
# Wake + blocker diagnostics together (integration)
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/issue-blocker-diagnostics-routes.test.ts server/src/__tests__/issue-wake-diagnostics-routes.test.ts
# Type-check shared and server packages
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
# Whitespace / diff check
git diff --check
```
All commands passed locally.
## Risks
- **No schema or migration changes** — this is a read-only projection
over existing tables; no DDL risk.
- **Bounded queries** — 14-day window + 50-row cap limit per call; no
unbounded scans.
- **Auth boundary** — cross-company access is denied at
`assertCompanyAccess`; Case-B inference uses the same per-node trust
filtering as the blocker endpoint so low-trust blockers are acknowledged
but not identified.
- Low overall risk; the endpoint is additive and read-only.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this change. Feature description:
**Subsystem affected:** `server/` — REST API & orchestration services;
`packages/shared` — types, constants, validators, API paths
**Problem or motivation**
There is no API endpoint to inspect *why* an issue is blocked or to get
a per-blocker readiness summary. Clients must walk the issue graph
manually or fetch full issue objects, which requires multiple
round-trips and is expensive.
**Proposed solution**
A single `GET /api/issues/:id/diagnostics/blockers` endpoint returns a
bounded projection: root issue summary, an ordered blocker list with
per-blocker `readiness` state, and a top-level `diagnosis` field
summarizing overall blocking status. Authorization mediation omits
blockers the caller cannot read, so `diagnosis` only reflects visible
data.
**Alternatives considered**
A general graph-walk query (too broad/expensive for a targeted
diagnostic call); enriching the existing `GET /api/issues/:id` response
(too coupled to the main response shape and adds weight for callers that
do not need blocker detail).
**Roadmap alignment**
Read-only observability surface over existing data; no database schema
changes. This aligns with tooling that helps users understand dependency
state without mutating anything.
## What Changed
- Added `GET /api/issues/:id/diagnostics/blockers` route to the server
- Returns per-blocker `readiness` state and a top-level `diagnosis`
field summarizing overall blocking status
- Enforces `issue:read` authorization per-blocker: unauthorized blockers
are omitted and do not influence `diagnosis` or `readiness` values
- Added shared TypeScript response types in `@paperclipai/shared`
- Added route-level tests using embedded Postgres
- Added API documentation in the `paperclip` skill
## Verification
```sh
./node_modules/.bin/vitest run server/src/__tests__/issue-blocker-diagnostics-routes.test.ts
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
```
All three commands pass locally.
## Risks
- Read-only endpoint over existing relations — no writes, no schema or
migration changes — low risk
- Authorization mediation intentionally omits unauthorized blockers from
both the list and from `diagnosis`/`readiness`; callers with partial
access will see a narrower picture than the full blocker graph

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent work can run in shared, isolated, or operator-branch execution
workspaces
> - Isolated/operator git-worktree modes require a real git checkout as
their base
> - A projectless issue can otherwise resolve to the agent fallback
workspace directory
> - That fallback is not a valid project checkout for git worktree setup
> - This pull request adds a setup-time guard before workspace
realization starts
> - The benefit is that misconfigured work fails with a typed
remediation instead of raw git errors or accidental execution from the
agent home directory
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue was found for this specific failure mode. Inline
description follows the bug report template:
**What happened?**
When a Paperclip issue has no associated project (`projectId: null`) and
is configured for `isolated_workspace` or operator-branch execution with
`strategy: git_worktree`, the heartbeat setup silently fell back to the
`agent_home` directory as the base workspace. Because `agent_home` is
not a git repository checkout, the subsequent git worktree operations
either failed with raw git errors or — in the degraded path — ran in the
wrong directory entirely.
**Expected behavior**
A projectless issue requesting `git_worktree` execution should fail
immediately at setup with a typed `workspace_validation_failed` result
and a human-readable remediation message explaining that a project
workspace or a reusable execution workspace with a valid git base is
required.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a Paperclip issue with `projectId: null` (no project
attached).
2. Assign it to an agent configured for `isolated_workspace` execution
with `strategy: git_worktree`.
3. Trigger a heartbeat run.
4. Observe: the heartbeat resolves the base workspace to `agent_home`
and either emits raw git errors during worktree setup or silently
executes from an incorrect directory.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`5cdf5103c` (current `master` HEAD at time of fix)
**Deployment mode**
Local dev (`pnpm dev`) / built from source — reproduces in any mode
because the fallback is in core workspace resolution logic.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core bug — affects all adapters that issue
heartbeats for projectless tasks)
**Database mode**
Not database-related
**Access context**
Agent (bearer API key via `agent_api_keys`)
## What Changed
- Added a heartbeat setup guard that validates isolated/operator
`git_worktree` base workspaces before realization.
- The guard fails projectless `agent_home` fallback cases with a typed
`workspace_validation_failed` result and remediation text.
- The guard also fails non-git project base directories before raw git
worktree operations run.
- Added regression coverage for projectless isolated mode,
operator-branch mode, non-git bases, valid git bases, and
shared-workspace no-op behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm test:run`
- `pnpm build`
## Risks
- Low risk. The new guard only applies to issue-backed isolated/operator
execution modes using `git_worktree`; shared workspaces and
non-git-worktree strategies are left unchanged.
- The intentional behavior shift is that invalid git-worktree bases now
fail earlier with a structured remediation instead of reaching
lower-level git setup.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents run in git worktrees tied to a workspace branch; when the
actual branch diverges from the expected one (e.g. a parent feature
branch was renamed), Paperclip currently has no structured field to
report *why* the branch is incoherent or whether it can be
auto-reconciled
> - The workspace-incoherence fingerprint already captures SHA
mismatches, but there is no evidence field distinguishing "actual branch
is a descendant of expected" (safe to fast-forward) from "branches have
diverged" (needs human review) or "SHAs are unavailable" (unknown)
> - Operators and future recovery flows need a typed verdict to make
decisions without re-running git commands themselves
> - This pull request adds `ancestryVerdict` and `plainLanguageReason`
evidence fields computed via `git merge-base --is-ancestor`, and
scaffolds the off-by-default `enableWorkspaceBranchReconcileForward`
instance setting with no runtime behavior yet
> - The benefit is that future recovery logic can branch on a typed
verdict rather than parsing prose, while the fingerprint v1 payload
stays stable
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue pre-exists for this diagnostic addition.
**Problem or motivation**
When Paperclip detects that an agent's actual workspace branch differs
from the recorded expected branch, the current fingerprint carries only
raw SHAs. There is no typed field indicating whether the actual branch
is a descendant of the expected one (safe reconcile path) vs. a true
divergence (requires human intervention) vs. an indeterminate state
(missing SHAs or git errors). Downstream recovery logic cannot branch
safely without re-running git.
**Proposed solution**
Add `ancestryVerdict` and `plainLanguageReason` to the workspace
incoherence evidence type; compute via `git merge-base --is-ancestor`;
scaffold a feature-flag for future forward-reconcile behavior
(`enableWorkspaceBranchReconcileForward`, off by default, not yet read
by any runtime path).
**Alternatives considered**
Encoding the verdict in the existing fingerprint string was rejected
because the fingerprint is a stable identity hash, not a mutable
evidence bag. Changing it would break monitors keyed on the string.
**Roadmap alignment**
Supports future workspace auto-reconcile work; ROADMAP.md has no
conflicting entry for this diagnostic layer.
## What Changed
- `packages/shared/src/types/heartbeat.ts` adds `ancestryVerdict` and
`plainLanguageReason` fields to `WorkspaceIncoherenceEvidence`
- `packages/shared/src/types/instance.ts` adds
`enableWorkspaceBranchReconcileForward` boolean (off by default)
- `packages/shared/src/validators/instance.ts` exports the new flag from
the settings validator
- `server/src/services/workspace-runtime.ts` computes `ancestryVerdict`
via `git merge-base --is-ancestor`; falls back to `unknown` on missing
SHAs or command errors; excludes verdict fields from fingerprint v1
computation
- `server/src/services/instance-settings.ts` wires the new setting
through to the settings service
- Tests updated in `workspace-runtime.test.ts`,
`instance-settings-service.test.ts`, `instance-settings-routes.test.ts`,
and `instance.test.ts` (104 tests total)
## Verification
```bash
pnpm exec vitest run \
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts \
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts \
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts \
packages/shared/src/validators/instance.test.ts
# 104 tests pass
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
# both exit 0
```
Manual: trigger a workspace incoherence event and confirm the evidence
object carries `ancestryVerdict` and `plainLanguageReason`; confirm the
fingerprint string stays `workspace_incoherence:v1:sha256:...`.
## Risks
**Low risk.** Purely additive. Fingerprint v1 payload is unchanged. The
new flag has no runtime effect in this PR. `git merge-base
--is-ancestor` exits non-zero for both "not an ancestor" and "command
error"; both are handled and collapsed to typed values with a prose
reason.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage AI
agents for work.
> - Backend execution safety is part of the control plane contract:
agents must stop at budget hard limits, stale execution paths must not
create duplicate live work, and checkout ownership must remain
authoritative.
> - The recovery branch bundled these release-gate checks with broader
unrelated work.
> - Reviewers need a narrow PR that isolates only the backend safety
behavior and regression coverage.
> - This pull request keeps budget incident creation idempotent so
repeated evaluation does not duplicate release-gate telemetry or
approvals.
> - It also adds focused coverage for idle timer skips, stale queued-run
behavior, and live checkout conflict preservation.
> - The benefit is a smaller, reviewable release-gate slice for budget
hard stops, stale execution recovery, and ownership-safe issue mutation.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #8866
This PR extracts a focused backend safety slice from the closed broad
recovery PR. The underlying problem is that release-gate behavior needs
direct regression coverage before review: budget hard stops should not
duplicate incidents/logging on repeated evaluation, timer wakes should
respect the no-actionable-work skip policy, stale queued runs should
remain invalidated, and active checkout ownership must survive
conflicting checkout attempts without side effects.
## What Changed
- Made budget incident creation report whether an incident was newly
created, so soft/hard threshold activity logs are emitted once per
incident window.
- Added embedded Postgres budget release-gate tests covering soft
incident idempotency, hard-stop pause/cancel behavior, budget override
resume behavior, and telemetry redaction.
- Added heartbeat coverage for skipping generic timer wakes when the
agent opts into `skipTimerWhenNoActionableWork`, while preserving
legacy/proactive timer behavior.
- Added stale execution lock route coverage proving a conflicting
checkout returns `409` without overwriting live checkout or execution
ownership and without writing checkout activity.
## Verification
- `./node_modules/.bin/vitest run
server/src/__tests__/budgets-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-stale-queue-invalidation.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-stale-execution-lock-routes.test.ts
--no-file-parallelism --maxWorkers=1`
- First run: 3 files passed, 98 tests passed;
`issue-stale-execution-lock-routes.test.ts` failed during import because
the isolated worktree initially lacked dev dependency links for
`supertest`.
- `CI=true NODE_ENV=development pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
--ignore-scripts`
- Recreated worktree dev dependency links; emitted unrelated plugin SDK
bin warnings because plugin SDK dist files were not built under
`--ignore-scripts`.
- `./node_modules/.bin/vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-stale-execution-lock-routes.test.ts
--no-file-parallelism --maxWorkers=1`
- Passed: 1 file, 7 tests.
- `git diff --check`
- Passed.
## Risks
Low to medium risk. The production code change is intentionally small
and only suppresses duplicate threshold activity logging for
already-open budget incidents, but it affects budget release-gate
observability. The new tests use embedded Postgres and should catch
regressions in budget hard stops, timer wake gating, stale queue
invalidation, and checkout conflict preservation.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage AI
agents for work.
> - The relevant subsystem is the agent heartbeat policy surface: the
Paperclip skill, default onboarding AGENTS.md, new-agent runtime
defaults, and promptfoo eval coverage for agent behavior.
> - A broad recovery PR collected several unrelated local-mainline
changes, which made review too large and mixed policy/eval updates with
server execution and UI work.
> - This PR extracts only the heartbeat policy and prompt-eval slice so
reviewers can assess the behavior contract independently.
> - The eval additions cover scoped wake handling, idle no-op behavior,
dependency-blocked comment triage, final disposition, budget hard stops,
and Phase 5 memory/control-surface policy expectations.
> - The benefit is a narrower review surface plus deterministic
follow-up guidance for server/shared tests that should back these
prompt-level checks.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #8866
No public issue was filed for this split. This is a focused extraction
from the closed broad recovery PR so heartbeat policy and eval coverage
can be reviewed separately from execution behavior, work-product feature
work, plugin hardening, pipeline health, and unrelated UI polish.
## What Changed
- Added promptfoo release-gate cases for scoped wake payload handling,
idle exits, dependency-blocked comment triage, final disposition, and
budget hard-stop behavior.
- Added Phase 5 memory/control-surface prompt eval cases for provider
binding precedence, provenance/audit fields, hook cost/trust handling,
and auditable board command surfaces.
- Documented how these prompt evals map to deterministic server/shared
follow-up coverage.
- Updated agent policy guidance so operator-facing engineering outputs
such as PRs, branches, commits, previews, and runtime services get
matching work products.
- Defaulted new agent runtime config to skip timer heartbeats when there
is no actionable work, with focused test coverage.
## Verification
- `cd evals/promptfoo && npx promptfoo@latest validate -c
promptfooconfig.yaml` passes.
- `/srv/paperclip/home/paperclipai/paperclip/node_modules/.bin/vitest
run ui/src/lib/new-agent-runtime-config.test.ts` passes in an isolated
worktree after `pnpm install --ignore-scripts --frozen-lockfile` created
workspace links.
- A live promptfoo eval was not run because `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`,
`OPENAI_API_KEY`, and `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` were unset in the workspace.
## Risks
Low-to-medium risk. The runtime default reduces timer-driven empty
heartbeats for newly created agents, so the main behavioral risk is
missing an edge case where timer wakes were expected despite no
actionable work. The promptfoo additions are deterministic assertion
coverage and documentation-only until a live eval is run with provider
credentials.

## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5-based Codex coding agent in the Paperclip local Codex
adapter environment; exact hosted model ID and context window were not
exposed to the agent runtime. Tool use included shell, git, promptfoo
validation, Vitest, and the GitHub connector/CLI.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The board UI is the main daily navigation surface for agents,
projects, and their related resources.
> - Operators need a lightweight way to keep frequently used agents and
projects close without changing company-wide ordering or ownership.
> - Resource memberships already model per-user relationships to
projects and agents, so they are the right place to store user-specific
starred state.
> - This pull request extends that membership contract with a starred
timestamp and exposes star controls in list/detail views.
> - The sidebar then uses those starred memberships to show compact,
user-specific shortcuts.
> - The benefit is faster navigation without introducing a separate
favorites system or leaking preferences across users.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists.
Feature request:
## Problem or motivation
Users cannot pin frequently used agents or projects into the main
sidebar. Returning to important resources requires scanning full
project/agent lists or navigating through detail pages, which adds
friction to repeated daily workflows.
## Proposed solution
Store a per-user `starred_at` timestamp on agent and project
memberships, expose API actions to set or clear that state, add star
toggle controls to list/detail pages, and render starred projects and
agents as compact sidebar shortcuts.
## Alternatives considered
A separate favorites table would work, but it would duplicate membership
scoping and require another resource relationship model. Keeping starred
state on memberships preserves existing company/user boundaries and
avoids a second source of truth.
## Roadmap alignment
Checked `ROADMAP.md`; no overlapping planned core work for starred
resource/sidebar navigation was found.
## Additional context
The affected subsystems are `packages/db`, `packages/shared`, `server/`,
and `ui/`. The migration is idempotent with `IF NOT EXISTS` guards so
environments that saw an earlier local migration name can still apply
the final ordered migration safely.
## What Changed
- Added idempotent migration `0133_resource_membership_stars` for
`starred_at` columns and lookup indexes on agent/project memberships.
- Extended shared resource membership types and validators with starred
metadata and actions.
- Updated server resource membership services/routes to read and mutate
starred resource state.
- Added reusable star toggle UI and resource membership hook support for
starred state.
- Added starred projects and agents sidebar rendering, plus star
controls on list and detail pages.
- Added focused shared, server, and UI coverage for starred membership
behavior and sidebar rendering.
## Verification
- Rebased and force-with-lease pushed current PR head
`a086fc965391c9e50a51b5b83b5b44a797b2a6f4` onto current
`paperclipai/paperclip:master`; `gh pr view` reports `MERGEABLE` with no
merge conflicts. GitHub checks are green for this fresh head.
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/resource-memberships.test.ts

screenshots/images in the PR.

db/shared/server, then failed in pre-existing UI code outside this PR:
`src/pages/CompanyEnvironments.tsx` missing `@xterm/*` type declarations
and `previous` possibly null.
- Checked that the PR diff does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml` or
`.github/workflows` changes.
- Checked `ROADMAP.md` and found no overlapping planned core work for
starred resource/sidebar navigation.
- Searched existing GitHub PRs for duplicate starred-resource/sidebar
work and found none.
## Risks
- Migration touches membership tables. The SQL uses `IF NOT EXISTS` for
columns and indexes so environments that saw an earlier local migration
name can still apply this safely.
- Sidebar ordering and visibility changes could affect users who rely on
the previous flat sidebar layout.
- Starred state is per-user membership metadata; code paths must
continue preserving company/user scoping around memberships.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server reports its own version through `server/src/version.ts`,
which is read by the `/health` endpoint and the telemetry client
> - When running from a cloned source tree, `server/package.json` is
frozen at the last published release version (e.g. `0.3.1`), so the
reported `serverVersion` never reflects how far the local checkout has
drifted from that release
> - Operators and support staff cannot tell from telemetry or health
output whether they are running a tagged release or a development build
with local commits on top
> - A `git describe --tags --match v* --long --dirty` call at startup
gives the exact nearest tag, number of commits since it, the current
SHA, and whether the tree is dirty — all the information needed to
compute a semantically meaningful version
> - This pull request replaces the static `pkg.version` export with a
`resolveServerVersion()` call that parses `git describe` output into
`YYYY.MDD.P+N.git.<sha>` (drift), `YYYY.MDD.P` (clean on-tag), or
appends `.dirty` for a modified tree, with a non-throwing fallback to
`package.json` when git is unavailable
> - The benefit is that from-source installs now report a version string
that lets operators and support quickly identify their exact checkout
state without running additional git commands
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No pre-existing public issue. Inline description:
**What happened?**
When Paperclip is installed from source (git clone + pnpm), `GET
/health` and the telemetry envelope report the version frozen at the
last published `package.json` value (e.g. `0.3.1`) regardless of how
many commits ahead of that tag the local checkout is.
**Expected behavior**
The reported version should reflect the actual local state — nearest
release tag, number of commits since that tag, abbreviated commit SHA,
and a dirty marker when the working tree has uncommitted changes.
**Steps to reproduce**
Clone the repo, run `pnpm install && pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server
start`, then call `GET /health` or inspect telemetry envelopes. The
`serverVersion` field shows the `package.json` version even when the
checkout is dozens of commits ahead of that tag.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Affects all source-tree installs where `package.json` has not been
updated to match the current HEAD.
**Deployment mode**
Source install (git clone).
## What Changed
- `server/src/version.ts`: extracted `resolveServerVersion()` (replaces
the module-level `const serverVersion`) and `parseGitDescribeVersion()`
(exported for unit testing); the default implementation shells out to
`git describe --tags --match v* --long --dirty` with a 1 500 ms timeout;
falls back to `pkg.version ?? "0.0.0"` without throwing when git is
unavailable or the output cannot be parsed; replaced `logger` import
with a `console.debug`-based default to avoid pulling pino transport
side effects into a zero-dependency utility module
- `server/src/__tests__/version.test.ts`: 7-test unit suite covering
drift, clean on-tag collapse, dirty on-tag edge case, unparseable
fallback, `resolveServerVersion` happy path, and git-unavailable
fallback — all exercised via injected stubs without spawning a real git
process
## Verification
```sh
# Unit tests (7 tests)
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/version.test.ts
# Type check
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
# Health and telemetry regression
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/health.test.ts server/src/__tests__/telemetry-client-flush.test.ts
# Runtime smoke (from-source checkout)
# git describe --tags --match 'v*' --long => v2026.626.0-58-g518fc71ce
# server startup => serverVersion = 2026.626.0+59.git.3367571cc
```
All commands passed at the committed HEAD.
## Risks
Low. The change is additive and self-contained to
`server/src/version.ts`:
- `git describe` is called once at module load with a 1 500 ms timeout;
failure (non-git environment, git not on PATH, timeout) is silently
caught and falls back to `pkg.version`, preserving existing behavior for
published-package installs
- No API surface, database schema, or migration is touched
- The telemetry envelope already carried `serverVersion`; only the value
changes for source-tree installs
## Model Used
Claude Sonnet 4.6 (`claude-sonnet-4-6`) with tool use and code
execution. Context window: 200 k tokens.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When you swap an agent's adapter (e.g. from one LLM provider to
another), the server merges the incoming PATCH body with stored config —
keys listed in \`ADAPTER_AGNOSTIC_KEYS\` are preserved regardless of
which adapter is active
> - That constant was defined independently in two places:
\`server/src/agents.ts\` (used by the adapter-swap route) and
\`ui/src/lib/agent-config-patch.ts\` (used by the UI patch builder)
> - PR #8975 fixed the bug where \`paperclipSkillSync.desiredSkills\`
was dropped on adapter swap by adding it to the server-side constant,
but the UI-side copy was not updated in the same PR — creating ongoing
drift risk
> - This pull request hoists \`ADAPTER_AGNOSTIC_KEYS\` into
\`packages/shared\` so both consumers import the same constant
> - The benefit is a single source of truth: any future key addition is
made in one place and both the server route and the UI patch builder
pick it up automatically, with a drift guard to catch any accidental
re-duplication
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #8975 — follow-up deduplication: #8975 fixed the runtime bug but
left the constant duplicated across server and UI. This PR closes that
gap.
## What Changed
- Added \`ADAPTER_AGNOSTIC_KEYS\` constant and \`AdapterAgnosticKey\`
type to \`packages/shared/src/adapter-agnostic-keys.ts\`
- Updated \`server/src/agents.ts\` to import the shared constant,
removing the local copy
- Updated \`ui/src/lib/agent-config-patch.ts\` to import the shared
constant, removing the local copy
- Added \`packages/shared/src/adapter-agnostic-keys.test.ts\`: drift
guard asserting the expected key set and both consumer import sites
## Verification
\`\`\`bash
pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/adapter-agnostic-keys.test.ts
ui/src/lib/agent-config-patch.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/agent-instructions-routes.test.ts
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck
\`\`\`
All 15 tests pass across the three files; all three packages typecheck
clean.
## Risks
Low risk — behavior-preserving refactor. The key set is unchanged; only
the import source changes. The drift guard will fail loudly if someone
accidentally re-introduces a local copy or modifies one without updating
the other.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent runs often need provider credentials, API tokens, and other
environment-bound secrets.
> - Company-level secrets work for shared credentials, but they do not
model values that should differ by human operator.
> - Without a user-scoped model, a run can dispatch without knowing
whether the responsible human has supplied the needed value.
> - Paperclip also needs run attribution to make those user-scoped
runtime checks deterministic and auditable.
> - This pull request adds user-specific secret definitions, per-user
values, environment bindings, responsible-user attribution, and runtime
resolution gates.
> - The benefit is that teams can define the secret once, let each user
provide their own value, and block runs before dispatch when required
user secrets or active definitions are unavailable.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #224
Refs #6057
This PR implements user-specific secret support as a core
secret-management capability rather than a one-off adapter setting. It
is related to existing public work on company secrets UI and runtime
secret refs, but is distinct because the value is owned by the
responsible user and resolved at run dispatch time.
Related PR search before opening found existing secrets work such as
#1550, #8256, #8614, #8634, and #8647; none of those add the full
user-secret definition/value/runtime gate covered here.
## What Changed
- Added user-secret definitions and per-user "My secrets" values,
keeping stored values out of access metadata.
- Added `user_secret_ref` environment bindings and UI affordances to
pick them alongside existing secret refs.
- Added responsible-user runtime resolution so user-secret refs resolve
against the human responsible for the run.
- Added pre-dispatch missing-secret gates so runs fail before adapter
dispatch when required user values are absent or definitions are
inactive.
- Added low-trust allowlist hardening for user-secret runtime access.
- Added issue, routine, run, and agent API key responsible-user
attribution and fail-closed dispatch behavior when attribution cannot be
resolved.
- Added denial-copy mapping so responsible-user authorization failures
surface as actionable run outcomes instead of opaque setup failures.
- Added OpenAPI documentation for the user-secret routes.
- Rebases cleanly on current `master`; migrations were renumbered
incrementally as `0128_user_specific_secrets`,
`0129_agent_api_key_responsible_user`, and
`0130_run_responsible_user_invariant` after upstream `0126`/`0127`
migrations.
- Removed previously committed local design screenshots so the PR
contains code/docs/tests only.

## Risks
- Runtime behavior now depends on a run having a correct responsible
user; missing or incorrect responsibility assignment can block runs
before adapter dispatch.
- `user_secret_ref` bindings intentionally expose metadata without
values, but UI/API callers may need to handle the new binding kind
explicitly.
- External secret providers and IAM policies are not automatically
provisioned by this PR; operators still need to configure provider-side
access for non-local vaults.
- The PR is broad across db/shared/server/UI/runtime paths, so release
validation should include both API and UI secret workflows before merge.
- The migration renumbering is intentionally incremental after upstream
migrations; the branch migrations use guarded
column/table/index/constraint creation so users who tested the older
draft numbering should not hit duplicate DDL for the existing objects.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Each agent runs on an adapter (`claude_local`, `codex_local`, …) and
can be assigned company skills that are synced into its runtime
> - An agent's desired-skill selection is persisted inside its single
`adapterConfig` JSON blob under `paperclipSkillSync`, even though the
selection is a company-level, adapter-agnostic choice
> - When a user changes an agent's adapter type, both the server PATCH
handler and the UI patch builder rebuild `adapterConfig` and carry over
only a hardcoded allow-list of adapter-agnostic keys (`env`, `cwd`,
instructions bundle, …)
> - `paperclipSkillSync` was missing from both allow-lists, so switching
adapters (e.g. claude_local → codex_local) silently wiped every assigned
skill
> - This pull request adds `paperclipSkillSync` to the adapter-agnostic
preservation list on both layers and covers it with regression tests
> - The benefit is that switching an agent's adapter no longer destroys
its skill configuration — skills are preserved exactly like
env/cwd/instructions already are
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#8974
## What Changed
- **Server (authoritative fix)** — `server/src/routes/agents.ts`: added
`"paperclipSkillSync"` to the `ADAPTER_AGNOSTIC_KEYS` list in the
`changingAdapterType` branch of `PATCH /agents/:id`. On an adapter-type
change the handler now restores the skill-sync selection from the
existing persisted config when the incoming config omits it — the same
mechanism already used for `env`, `cwd`, and the instructions bundle.
This protects every API/CLI client, not just the UI.
- **UI (defense in depth)** — `ui/src/lib/agent-config-patch.ts`: added
`"paperclipSkillSync"` to the client-side `ADAPTER_AGNOSTIC_KEYS` in
`buildAgentUpdatePatch`, so the optimistic patch the client builds on an
adapter switch stops stripping the key before it reaches the server.
- **Tests** — added regression tests on both layers:
- `server/src/__tests__/agent-instructions-routes.test.ts`: `PATCH`ing
`adapterType` (claude_local → codex_local) with `replaceAdapterConfig:
true` keeps `adapterConfig.paperclipSkillSync`.
- `ui/src/lib/agent-config-patch.test.ts`: `buildAgentUpdatePatch`
preserves `paperclipSkillSync` when the overlay changes the adapter
type.
## Verification
```
# server (run from repo root)
cd server && ../node_modules/.bin/vitest run \
src/__tests__/agent-instructions-routes.test.ts \
src/__tests__/agent-skills-routes.test.ts \
src/__tests__/agent-adapter-validation-routes.test.ts \
src/__tests__/agent-permissions-routes.test.ts
# 83 passed
../node_modules/.bin/tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json # clean
# ui
cd ui && ./node_modules/.bin/vitest run src/lib/agent-config-patch.test.ts # 7 passed
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck # clean
```
Both new tests fail without the corresponding source change (verified
red → green).
Manual: create an agent on `claude_local`, assign skills, switch it to
`codex_local`, and confirm `GET /api/agents/:id/skills` still returns
the desired skills.
## Risks
Low risk.
- The change only *adds* one key to an existing preservation allow-list;
it does not alter how any other key is handled. Behavior for agents
without a `paperclipSkillSync` block is unchanged (the key is simply
absent and nothing is copied).
- `paperclipSkillSync` is adapter-agnostic (company skill keys, not
adapter-specific), so carrying it across an adapter switch is always
safe — a target adapter that does not support skill sync just ignores
it, and switching back restores the selection.
- Same-adapter config edits already merged and preserved the key; this
only closes the adapter-type-change gap, matching the existing
env/cwd/instructions behavior.
- Follow-up (not in this PR to keep it minimal): the server and client
`ADAPTER_AGNOSTIC_KEYS` lists are maintained separately and already
diverge (`instructionsFilePath` is client-only); a shared constant could
prevent future drift.
## Model Used
Claude Opus 4.8 (`claude-opus-4-8`, 1M-token context), extended thinking
enabled, with tool use (file edit, shell, GitHub CLI) via Claude Code. A
read-only sub-agent was used to trace the root cause across the server
and UI layers.

## Thinking Path

work.

local or sandboxed adapters.
> - Some follow-up issues intentionally request `reuse_existing` so they
continue in an inherited execution workspace.

workspace over an explicit inherited-workspace binding.

workspaces.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #8058
Refs #6036
Refs #2203
This fixes a narrower heartbeat provisioning bug around explicit
`reuse_existing` issue runs: if the target inherited execution workspace
is missing, archived, or fails restore, provisioning now reports the
reuse failure instead of replacing the issue's workspace binding with a
freshly realized fallback.
## What Changed
- Added explicit helpers for resolving workspace reuse requests and
deciding whether reuse should restore, refresh metadata, or keep prior
replacement-class drift visible.
- Changed heartbeat workspace provisioning so explicit `reuse_existing`
requests go through restore-or-fail behavior instead of falling back to
`realizeExecutionWorkspace` when the stored workspace row is
unavailable.
- Added structured `workspace_validation_failed` details for inherited
workspace reuse failures.
- Added regression coverage for replacement-class drift, restore errors,
missing rows, archived rows, and restore misses.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk ensure-build-deps`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD`
- Scanned the branch diff and commit messages for credentials, tokens,
private URLs, PII-style values, and internal issue links before pushing;
no unsafe hits remained.
## Risks
- Explicit reuse requests whose stored workspace cannot be restored now
fail the run instead of opportunistically creating a replacement
workspace. That is intentional, but it may surface stale or archived
workspace rows as visible provisioning failures that require repair.
- Non-reuse workspace provisioning still uses the existing realization
path, so the behavior shift is scoped to issues that explicitly request
existing workspace reuse.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Environment sandboxes already support custom image creation and
refresh through a temporary SSH setup session.
> - The existing workflow makes operators copy an SSH command into an
external terminal before they can install packages or make image
changes.
> - That extra context switch is slower, easier to get wrong, and less
integrated with the setup session Paperclip already tracks.
> - This pull request adds an embedded browser SSH terminal for custom
image setup, so operators can start working in the target sandbox
directly from the environment configuration flow.
> - The implementation uses short-lived websocket attachment tokens,
session-lifetime SSH host-key pinning, and server-managed terminal
cleanup so the feature fits the existing setup-session boundary.
> - The benefit is a smoother custom image creation and refresh
experience without asking users to leave Paperclip for routine sandbox
setup work.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists.
### Subsystem affected
Cross-cutting: `server/` custom image setup APIs and websocket handling,
`ui/` environment configuration UI, and shared custom image contracts.
### Problem or motivation
Custom image creation and refresh require an operator to open a separate
SSH client, paste the command shown by Paperclip, perform setup work,
then return to the browser to finish the image flow. This is functional
but awkward for a setup process that already starts and tracks a
temporary sandbox session.
### Proposed solution
Embed an SSH terminal in the custom image setup UI. When a setup session
exposes an SSH payload, Paperclip should open a browser terminal backed
by a server-side websocket session, let the operator run setup commands
in-place, and then close the terminal when setup is finished, cancelled,
expired, or disconnected.
### Alternatives considered
- Keep the existing copy/paste SSH command workflow. This remains a
fallback, but it does not streamline the common path.
- Put SSH credentials directly into websocket URLs. This was avoided so
terminal authentication can happen in an explicit first websocket auth
frame rather than in logged URLs.
- Trust the SSH host blindly for every reconnect. This PR instead pins
the observed host-key fingerprint for the setup-session lifetime.
### Roadmap alignment
This fits the roadmap theme of making agent workspaces usable in more
remote and sandboxed environments while preserving Paperclip's
control-plane model.
### Additional context
Public GitHub search did not find a duplicate issue or PR for `custom
image terminal ssh` in `paperclipai/paperclip`.
## What Changed
- Added server-side terminal session tracking for custom image setup
sessions, including connect-token issuance, websocket attachment,
expiry, resize, input, and shutdown handling.
- Added an embedded browser terminal to the custom image creation and
refresh flow when a setup session provides SSH connection details.
- Moved terminal token authentication out of the websocket URL and into
the first websocket JSON auth frame.
- Added SSH host-key SHA-256 pinning for each terminal session and
documented the provider convention for username-embedded SSH
credentials.
- Updated the custom image environment API and UI so the setup terminal
can open, reconnect, show status, authenticate, resize, and remain
active for the setup-session lifetime once attached.
- Kept custom image setup routes company-scoped and closed active
terminal sessions on setup finish/cancel.
- Added focused unit/integration/UI coverage for token expiry,
setup-session expiry, websocket close paths, host-key pinning, and
terminal session lifecycle behavior.
- Removed the generated lockfile delta from the PR; CI owns temporary
lockfile regeneration for manifest-changing PRs.

- Remote PR checks were green after the implementation commit, including

suites, e2e, verify, Socket, Snyk, Superagent, and Greptile 5/5.
- Post-merge PR hardening on July 3, 2026: merged `origin/master` at
`47448721e` into the branch, resolved the `CompanyEnvironments.tsx`
import conflict, reran focused tests, server/UI typechecks, server/UI
builds, `pnpm run typecheck:build-gaps`, and `git diff --check`, scanned
the final diff for sensitive content, pushed `4b43558cc`, and confirmed
all remote checks plus Greptile 5/5 were green.
- PR metadata correction on July 3, 2026: changed the title/body framing
from bug-fix language to feature-request language. No source files
changed for this metadata-only update.
## Risks
- Moderate surface area because this adds websocket routing,
setup-session runtime state, package dependencies, and a new custom
image UI path.
- New websocket attachments still require valid short-lived tokens;
established terminal sessions remain bounded by setup-session expiry,
explicit finish/cancel, client close, or server shutdown.
- The terminal-session store is in-memory, so active terminal websocket
tokens and host-key pins do not survive server restarts.
- SSH host-key verification uses session-lifetime TOFU pinning because
the current provider payload does not expose a trusted host-key
fingerprint.
- The external SSH command remains important as a fallback if a browser,
proxy, or network environment cannot sustain the websocket terminal.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A core part of that experience is watching active agent runs without
dropping into raw logs first
> - Local and sandbox-backed adapters already record useful run output,
progress, and tool activity
> - But active issue threads could sit visually stale while the agent
was syncing workspaces, tailing sandbox output, or emitting incremental
tool-call updates

raw transcript underneath
> - This pull request streams sandbox run-log progress into runtime
status, keeps visible issue threads refreshed, and folds repeated ACPX
tool updates into stable transcript cards
> - The benefit is that long-running agent work becomes easier to
supervise without changing the task/comment control-plane model
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this exact change.
Problem/motivation:
- During long-running sandboxed agent work, the issue UI can appear idle
even though the agent is actively syncing, running tools, or producing
incremental output.
- Operators need realtime feedback at the issue-thread layer, not only
after opening raw logs or waiting for the final heartbeat result.
- Related public context: #1808 previously added live-run status dots to
Projects; #4362 touches heartbeat wakeup behavior but is not a duplicate
of this runtime/UI feedback change.
## What Changed
- Added sandbox run-log streaming support and defaulted sandbox-capable
local adapters into the richer live-feedback path.
- Surfaced environment/sandbox sync progress through heartbeat runtime
status with bounded, redacted snippets.
- Added live issue-thread cache patching so visible active runs update
as progress events arrive.
- Folded repeated ACPX `tool_call` updates into one transcript card
instead of stacking duplicate cards.
- Updated adapter docs and added focused regression coverage for sandbox
log streaming, runtime status, ACPX parsing, live updates, transcript
rendering, and issue chat messages.

## Risks
- Live issue-thread cache patching could miss an edge case for a route
shape not covered by tests.
- Surfacing active-run snippets needs continued care around redaction;
this PR keeps snippets bounded and adds redaction-focused coverage.
- More frequent active-run UI refreshes could expose performance issues
on very large issue threads, though updates are scoped to visible
run/query caches.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent runs can execute inside reusable, runtime-created git worktree
execution workspaces.
> - Those managed worktrees record the expected branch so later
dispatches do not accidentally run an agent in the wrong checkout.

treated every unrecorded branch switch as fatal.
> - A common publishing flow can briefly switch a clean worktree to a
PR/publish branch that points at the same commit as the recorded issue
branch, leaving no divergent work to protect.
> - This pull request keeps the strict finalization guard for unsafe
drift, but lets finalization restore the recorded branch when
same-commit repair is provably safe.

switches while preserving hard failures for divergent or dirty
worktrees.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists for this exact finalization failure. Related
public worktree-recovery context: #3087 and #3056, but those address
different worktree realization/reuse recovery paths rather than
successful-run finalization branch repair.
Bug report details:
**What happened?**
When an adapter run succeeded after switching a managed git worktree
from its recorded issue branch to a publish/PR branch, finalization
failed with a managed worktree branch mismatch even when the publish
branch and recorded branch pointed at the same commit and the worktree
was clean.
**Expected behavior**
Finalization should restore the recorded branch only when it can prove
the worktree is clean, registered, and the recorded branch points at the
current `HEAD`. If the actual branch has different commits or unsafe
state, finalization should continue to fail with bounded validation
evidence.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a runtime-managed `git_worktree` execution workspace for an
issue run.
2. During the adapter run, create and check out a new publish branch
without committing new changes.
3. Return adapter success and let heartbeat finalization run.
4. Before this change, finalization records a failed branch check and
fails the run even though the branches point at the same commit.
5. With this change, finalization records the repair operation, restores
the recorded branch, and records a successful finalize row.
6. Repeat with a commit on the publish branch; finalization still fails
because the branch heads differ.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced against `master` at `bac7307ec`; fixed by this PR at
`64ec605cf`.
**Deployment mode**
Local dev / built from source.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific. This is core heartbeat/workspace finalization
behavior.
**Database mode**
Embedded test Postgres in the focused server test.
**Access context**
Agent run finalization.
**Node.js version**
`v25.6.1`
**Operating system**
`Darwin 24.6.0 arm64`
**Relevant logs or output**
The new focused test intentionally exercises both outcomes:
```text
Test Files 1 passed (1)
Tests 3 passed (3)
```
**Relevant config**
Runtime-created `git_worktree` execution workspace.
**Additional context**
The unsafe divergent branch case still fails with
`workspace_validation_failed` and `git_worktree_branch_incoherence`
evidence.
**Privacy checklist**
Reviewed; this description avoids internal task links, local workspace
paths, credentials, and instance-specific URLs.
## What Changed
- Reused the existing guarded branch-coherence repair helper during
heartbeat finalization when the final branch inspection finds clean
same-commit branch drift.
- Recorded repair metadata in the `workspace_finalize` operation so
reviewers/operators can audit whether finalization repaired branch
drift.
- Preserved failure behavior for divergent branch heads and surfaced the
bounded workspace validation evidence from the repair helper.
- Added focused server coverage for safe finalization repair and unsafe
divergent branch failure.
- Updated execution semantics docs to describe the narrower finalization
rule.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-finalize-branch.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `git diff --check`
## Risks
Low to medium risk. The change affects successful-run finalization for
runtime-created git worktree execution workspaces. The repair path is
constrained to clean, registered, same-commit branch drift, and the
focused test confirms divergent branch heads still fail instead of being
restored silently.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-based coding agent. Exact hosted model ID was not
exposed in the runtime; tool use and local shell execution were enabled.
