## 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 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.
> - Scheduled routines provide recurring control-plane work without
manual intervention.
> - The activity gate (`activity_gate_policy` / `activity_gate_scope`)
lets a scheduled routine skip a tick when nothing has happened since its
last run, so watcher-style routines stay asleep while the system is
settled instead of burning tokens every tick.
> - The scheduler, database columns, and the create/update API for those
fields already landed (see #9438), but there was no way for an operator
to actually set the policy from the routine editor, and the runs list
rendered gated skips as bare "skipped" rows with no "why".
> - This pull request adds the editor control and the run-row labels:
the Delivery section gets an "Advanced run policy" picker plus a scope
selector, and skipped runs explain why they were skipped.
> - The benefit is that the activity gate becomes discoverable and
usable end-to-end from the UI, closing the loop on the feature the API
already supports.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Refs #8534 — activity gate for scheduled routines.
- Builds on #9438 (merged) which exposed the activity-gate create/update
API and the `Routine` response fields this UI reads and writes. This PR
is the editor/UI companion to that API work.
## What Changed
- **Routine editor — Advanced run policy control**
(`ui/src/components/routine-sections/editable-sections.tsx`): the
Delivery section gains a `RadioCardGroup` to choose between *Run on
every scheduled tick* (default) and *Skip when there's been no activity
since the last run*. When gating is enabled, a second scope picker
(*Company-wide* / *This project*) appears. The control is **disabled
with an explanatory hint** — rather than hidden — when the routine has
no schedule trigger, since the gate only affects scheduled ticks
(webhook/manual/API fires are themselves activity and always run). This
keeps the capability discoverable.
- **Edit-draft plumbing**
(`ui/src/components/routine-sections/context.tsx`,
`ui/src/pages/RoutineDetail.tsx`): `activityGatePolicy` /
`activityGateScope` flow through the edit draft, the delivery section's
dirty-field detection, the save payload, and revision restore, matching
how `concurrencyPolicy` / `catchUpPolicy` are handled.
- **Run-history skip reasons** (`ui/src/lib/routine-run-display.ts`):
skipped run rows now render a human-readable "why" —
`no_external_activity` → "Skipped — no activity since last run", plus
labels for `paused` and `worktree_execution_cutoff` — instead of a bare
status.
- Storybook fixture updates for the new routine fields, plus focused
run-display coverage for the skipped-run labels.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/lib/routine-run-display.test.ts` — 11
tests passing.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — clean.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — all token gates clean.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` — production build succeeds.
- Current-head GitHub CI for `9f9af8ecccfadcdc4a3afab313aafad81cbd1112`
— all checks pass (Storybook visual check skipped by workflow policy).
## Risks
- **Low risk.** UI-only change; no schema/migration and no server
changes (the API and columns already shipped in #9438). Fields are
optional and default to the pre-feature behavior (`always` / `company`),
so existing routines are unaffected. The scope picker only renders when
gating is turned on, and the whole control is inert without a schedule
trigger.
## Model Used
- Claude Opus 4.8 (`claude-opus-4-8`, 1M context), extended thinking,
with tool use (repo edit + shell verification).

## 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.

## 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.

work
> - Connections is the subsystem that defines which external apps and
MCP-style integrations operators can browse, configure, and run
> - The v3 schema core in #9958 added stable connection identities, auth

## 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
- `pnpm run preflight:workspace-links`

## 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.

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.

policy, and security scans pass.
- Greptile: 5/5 with zero unresolved threads.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` remains red only on five pre-existing `#9627`

## 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.

## Model Used
OpenAI Codex CLI coding agent. The runtime did not expose an exact
underlying model ID or context-window size; capabilities used include
repository inspection, code editing, shell execution, test execution,
Git/GitHub CLI operations, and structured reasoning.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to supervise
AI-agent companies.
> - Operators need task execution state to be visible where they read,
reply to, and manage an issue.
> - Scheduled monitor state was easy to miss because it lived in a
description-area card and used inconsistent, mostly static time copy.
> - The task page, composer, retry card, and properties panel therefore
needed one shared monitor-state and countdown language.
> - This pull request adds shared live-ticking time utilities, moves
monitor status into a top-of-page banner and composer strip, and
redesigns the properties row with complete read-only details.
> - The benefit is that operators can immediately understand when an
agent resumes, why it is waiting, and how to act without hunting across
the page.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Issue monitors can schedule a future agent check, retry, or wake, but
the UI did not present that state consistently or prominently. The
existing description-area activity card competed with issue content, the
composer did not explain that replying wakes the agent early, compact
properties copy truncated important details, and relative times did not
share a live two-unit formatter.
This change makes scheduled monitor state visible and consistent across
the issue header, reply composer, properties panel, and scheduled-retry
card. Related prior server-side recovery visibility work: #9629
(distinct scope).
## What Changed
- Added shared two-unit monitor ETA/offset formatters and a live-ticking
countdown hook, including compact absolute-time rules for Today,
weekday, and cross-year dates.
- Replaced the description-area monitor activity card with a top-of-page
status banner and added an inline composer strip that explains replies
wake the agent before the scheduled check.
- Redesigned the properties Monitor row as readable two-line copy with
attempt state, due/overdue/cleared wording, click-to-edit behavior, and
a hover/tap details tooltip.
- Adopted the shared two-unit formatting in the scheduled-retry card and
added focused coverage for monitor formatting, state transitions,
visibility, and controls.
- Added the approved wireframe package and published reference:
https://pages.paperclip.ing/pap-14557-monitor-visibility/
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run ui/src/lib/issue-monitor.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssueMonitorBanner.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssueProperties.test.tsx` — 3 files, 74 tests passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm build` — passed with existing Vite optimization/chunk-size
warnings.
- UX review approved the rendered real components across desktop/mobile,
light/dark, and the scheduled/retrying/due/overdue/cleared/none state
matrix.
- QA passed 6/6 criteria in Chromium, including a live countdown
transition without refresh. Review evidence included the P2 banner
state-matrix screenshot and the P3 properties-row and details-tooltip
screenshots, plus a dark-mode capture.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` currently reports five pre-existing `#9627`
comment literals on `origin/master`; this branch introduces none of
those literals or any new token violation.
## Risks
- Low-to-moderate UI behavior risk: monitor copy and placement change
across several issue surfaces, but all derive from one shared state
builder and focused tests cover the state matrix.
- Countdown rendering wakes once per minute while a visible monitor is
scheduled; the hook is limited to active monitor surfaces and stops when
hidden.
- No database, API contract, migration, telemetry, or authorization
behavior changes.

## 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
server/src/__tests__/summary-slots.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/built-in-agents.test.ts
ui/src/components/SummarySlotCard.test.tsx
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.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to coordinate
AI-agent work.
> - Execution workspaces provide the local service loop where operators
start, stop, restart, inspect, and open workspace services.
> - The existing header exposed those actions through separate controls
whose position and labeling changed across runtime states.
> - That movement made the most common development actions harder to
scan and easier to misclick, especially with multiple services or long
URLs.
> - The design therefore uses one fixed-geometry, state-aware control
bar and keeps service-specific detail behind a compact disclosure.
> - This pull request adds that control surface, maps existing runtime
data and every pending mutation into it, and integrates it into the
execution-workspace header without changing server contracts.
> - The benefit is a calmer, predictable service-control loop across
stopped, transitional, running, unhealthy, failed, multi-service, and
narrow-width states.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Subsystem affected
`ui/ — React + Vite board UI`
### Problem or motivation
Execution-workspace service actions move and change shape as runtime
state changes, while URLs and multi-service status compete for header
space. During bulk actions, operators also need every targeted service
to show its transitional state immediately.
### Proposed solution
Use one fixed-geometry, state-aware service control bar in the workspace
header. Map existing runtime records into a stable status, URL, and
actions model, and track each in-flight bulk request independently until
it settles.
### Alternatives considered
Keeping the separate quick-control buttons was rejected because their
geometry changes by state. Showing every service inline was rejected
because it makes the header too wide; per-service detail remains in a
compact disclosure and the Services tab.
### Roadmap alignment
Reviewed `ROADMAP.md`; this focused execution-workspace UI improvement
does not duplicate a listed roadmap initiative.
### Additional context
The published design and state viewer is available at
https://pages.paperclip.ing/pap-14233-workspace-service-controls/.
## What Changed
- Added `WorkspaceServiceControlBar`, a fixed-geometry responsive
control for single- and multi-service runtime states.
- Added 15 Storybook states covering running, stopped, transitions,
unhealthy, failed, disabled, long-URL, mobile, and multi-service
behavior.
- Replaced `WorkspaceRuntimeQuickControls` in the execution-workspace
header with adapters that map live services and all pending requests
into the new control model.
- Added focused unit coverage for service-entry construction, bulk
pending overlays, request resolution, clipboard feedback, and header
integration.
## Verification
- `cd ui && NODE_ENV=development pnpm vitest run
src/components/WorkspaceServiceControlBar.test.tsx
src/components/WorkspaceRuntimeControls.test.tsx
src/pages/ExecutionWorkspaceDetail.test.tsx` — 29 tests passed.
- `NODE_ENV=development pnpm --dir ui typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — all token gates clean.
- Reviewed the Storybook captures for all primary states.
## Risks
- Low-to-moderate UI risk: service controls depend on adapter mapping
from existing runtime records; focused tests cover single-service and
bulk-action mapping and integration paths.
- Multi-service bulk actions intentionally apply to all eligible
services, while per-service actions remain in the disclosure.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane where operators configure and inspect
AI-agent work.
> - An issue can override the assigned agent's primary model for that
task.
> - The issue-properties UI labeled that per-task setting as `Custom ·
<model>`, which could be read as a property of the model rather than a
replacement of the agent default.
> - Operators need the UI to distinguish the agent's primary model from
an issue-specific override at both the collapsed summary and selection
point.
> - This pull request renames the lane presentation to `Override` and
adds concise provenance text without changing the stored lane value or
adapter configuration behavior.
> - The benefit is that operators can immediately understand which model
will run and why it differs from the agent default.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No matching public GitHub issue was found. Related implementation work:
#9700 moved Codex ACPX model configuration to startup and is already on
`master`; #9355 also addresses ACP session-config rejection behavior.
Those PRs concern execution behavior, while this PR is limited to
clarifying the issue-level override UI.
Bug report details:
- **What happened?** The issue-properties Model row displayed `Custom ·
<model>` for a task-level
`assigneeAdapterOverrides.adapterConfig.model`. Operators could misread
`Custom` as describing the model itself and could not see that the value
replaced the agent's primary model for this issue.
- **Expected behavior:** The UI should explicitly identify a task-level
model as an override and explain that it replaces the agent's primary
model for the issue.
- **Steps to reproduce:** Configure an agent with a primary model, set a
different model on an issue, and inspect the Model row and model picker
in Issue Properties.
- **Paperclip version or commit:** Reproduced on the pre-change branch
derived from current `master`.
- **Deployment mode:** Local development or any deployment using the
board UI.
- **Installation method:** Built from source.
- **Agent adapters involved:** Adapter-agnostic; any adapter exposing
model selection.
- **Database mode:** Not database-related.
- **Access context:** Board operator viewing issue properties.
- **Relevant logs or output:** Not applicable; this is a presentation
ambiguity.
- **Relevant config:** An issue-level
`assigneeAdapterOverrides.adapterConfig.model` differing from the
assigned agent's primary model.
- **Additional context:** The internal lane identifier remains `custom`;
only user-facing copy and explanatory text change.
- **Privacy checklist:** No private instance links, internal ticket IDs,
secrets, usernames, or local paths are included.
## What Changed
- Renamed the collapsed issue model label from `Custom · <model>` to
`Override · <model>` and added a provenance tooltip.
- Renamed the model-picker lane from `Custom` to `Override` and added
explanatory subtext at the selection point.
- Updated the Issue Properties component test to assert the new label.
- Added an isolated Storybook fixture for the task model override state
so visual review has a stable target.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/IssueProperties.test.tsx` — 43
tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- `git diff --check public-gh/master...HEAD` — passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — the changed files are clean, but the
repo-wide command currently reports nine unrelated `#9627` comment
references already present on `master` as color literals.
## Risks
- Low risk: this changes display strings and explanatory copy only;
override storage, lane identifiers, API contracts, and execution
behavior are unchanged.
- The global token-gate false positive may also appear in CI until the
unrelated `#9627` references on `master` are allowlisted or the scanner
ignores issue-number comments.

## Model Used
OpenAI Codex coding agent assisted this PR preparation using medium
reasoning, repository-aware shell execution, Git/GitHub tooling, and
local test/typecheck execution. The hosted runtime did not expose an
exact model ID or context-window size to this session.

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

work ends without a durable next-step disposition

without checking whether a corrective run or wake was currently alive

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
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/services/recovery/successful-run-handoff.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-list-assignee-filter-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-blocker-attention.test.ts` — 56 passed
- `pnpm vitest run
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.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When an agent's task is `blocked`, humans often comment on the issue
thread expecting it to reopen and resume
> - If the issue stays `blocked` because an unresolved (not-done)
blocker still gates the reopen path, the UI said nothing — the human
"sent a message and nothing happened" (a real silent-failure report)
> - That silence makes the product feel broken even though the gate is
working as designed
> - This pull request adds Rule C copy to the existing
`IssueBlockedNotice` surface: when a comment won't reopen a blocked
issue, it explains why and names the deepest unresolved blocker leaf
with its status
> - The benefit is that the human immediately understands the task is
*paused, not stuck*, and knows exactly which task to act on to unblock
it
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
<!-- No public GitHub issue — describing the underlying problem inline
(path B), following the feature issue template. -->
**Problem or motivation**
A human comments on a `blocked` issue expecting it to move back to
`todo` and resume. When the reopen gate keeps it blocked because an
unresolved (not-`done`) blocker remains, nothing in the UI communicates
this, so the user perceives a dropped message ("I sent a message and
nothing happened").
**Proposed solution**
Reuse the existing amber `IssueBlockedNotice` surface (the designated
blocked/recovery surface — no new component). When a message won't
reopen a blocked issue, the notice states that it won't reopen yet,
names the unresolved blocker leaf with its status (e.g. "Still blocked
by PAP-XXXXX (in progress)"), and reassures that it reopens
automatically once the blocker is done. UI-only; no server change.
**Alternatives considered**
Adding a server signal (a reopen-suppressed reason on the comment/notice
payload) was considered but rejected as unnecessary — the
unresolved-blocker set is already available client-side, so the copy is
derived in the component. Done-but-pending-finalize blockers are `done`,
so they fall out of the unresolved set into the standard reopen (Rule B)
path and are correctly not shown as reopen-suppressed.
## What Changed
- `ui/src/components/IssueBlockedNotice.tsx`: added reopen-suppressed
messaging for `blocked` issues that still have unresolved blockers — a
lead sentence ("a message won't reopen it yet, then it reopens
automatically"), the named unresolved blocker leaf with its status, and
an "and N other task(s)" summarization when multiple blockers remain.
- `ui/src/components/IssueBlockedNotice.test.tsx`: added/updated tests
covering the single, nested-chain (deepest-leaf), multiple-blocker, and
empty-blocker states, plus the not-a-reopen-case (`in_progress`) path.
- `ui/storybook/stories/issue-blocked-notice.stories.tsx`: new Storybook
stories rendering each notice state for copy review.
## Verification
- `cd ui && tsc -b` — typecheck clean (previously failed TS2322 on the
story meta; fixed by a default `args`).
- Vitest: `IssueBlockedNotice.test.tsx` green (single / nested /
multiple / empty / in-progress states).
- Storybook stories rendered at 1440×900 for all four states;
screenshots posted on the tracking issue.
- UXDesigner reviewed the notice copy and signed off (no copy edits
required).
## Risks
Low risk. UI-only, additive copy on an already-shipped amber notice
surface; no server or schema changes. The reopen behavior itself is
unchanged — this only explains the existing gate. Worst case is copy
wording, which had a design review.
## Model Used
Claude — claude-opus-4-8 (Opus 4.8), extended thinking, with tool use /
code execution in the Paperclip harness.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies and review work that needs human attention.
> - The Decisions page condenses approvals, failed runs, reviews, and
issue interactions into a scannable attention queue.
> - Some decision rows already include screenshot evidence, but the
collapsed thumbnail stack is too small for meaningful inspection.
> - Image-only rows were not expandable because expansion was previously
reserved for inline decision resolvers.
> - Reviewers therefore had to leave the Decisions page before they
could understand the visual evidence attached to a row.
> - This pull request makes rows with images expandable and presents a
readable, linked gallery while preserving the compact collapsed view.
> - The benefit is faster evidence review without sacrificing queue
density or existing inline-resolution behavior.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue currently tracks this feature.
### Subsystem affected
`ui/` — React + Vite board UI
### Problem or motivation
Screenshot evidence in Decisions rows is only visible as small
overlapping thumbnails, and non-inline rows cannot expand to show it.
This makes visual review unnecessarily slow and forces reviewers to
navigate away from the queue.
### Proposed solution
Treat active rows with images as expandable, render the first three
images at a readable size in an expanded gallery, and link images plus
any remaining-image affordance to the related issue.
### Alternatives considered
Always rendering large images would make the queue difficult to scan;
opening the issue immediately preserves density but prevents in-context
review. An explicit expandable gallery keeps both behaviors available.
### Roadmap alignment
`ROADMAP.md` does not list overlapping Decisions image-gallery work.
This is a focused improvement to the existing review surface rather than
a new product area.
### Additional context
The Storybook variants document both the collapsed thumbnail treatment
and deterministic expanded gallery state for reviewer inspection.
## What Changed
- Allow active Decisions rows with screenshot evidence to expand even
when they have no inline resolver.
- Keep compact thumbnails in collapsed rows and render up to three
larger, linked images when expanded.
- Add an accessible remaining-image tile that links to the related issue
when more screenshots exist.
- Add component coverage for image-only expansion and the
remaining-image issue link.
- Add collapsed and expanded image-gallery Storybook variants, including
deterministic initial expansion.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/AttentionQueueRow.test.tsx`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm --dir ui typecheck`
- `pnpm --dir ui build-storybook`
- QA visual verification (light + dark, no defects):
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/9532#issuecomment-4964769485
## Risks
- Low risk: the change is isolated to Decisions row rendering and
Storybook fixtures.
- Rows with images gain a new expansion interaction, but existing inline
resolver behavior and deep links remain intact.
- The gallery intentionally limits the in-row preview to three images to
avoid unbounded row height.

## 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
**Choose a project**
**Review discovered skills**
**Mobile selection footer**

## 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 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

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

stay below the 100-file review limit

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Related parity reference: #9534
- Problem: The standalone UI foundation needs feature-flagged routes,
navigation, app detail flows, gateways, Storybook scenarios, and QA
configuration.
- Proposed solution: Adds Apps/Gateways pages and components,
navigation/route activation, remaining page integrations, Storybook
stories, and QA Vite configuration.
- 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/06-ui-tools-foundation`.
- 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: UXDesigner sanity pass on Apps/Gateways flows and
flag-off behavior; Greptile on every PR.
## What Changed
- Adds Apps/Gateways pages and components, navigation/route activation,
remaining page integrations, Storybook stories, and QA Vite
configuration.
- 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`
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — all gates clean
- Focused UI Vitest run with `NODE_ENV=test` — 17 files, 147 tests
passed
## Risks
- Navigation or flag regressions could expose incomplete experiences;
activation remains controlled by existing experimental settings.
- 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.

- 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.
- 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` — 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.
- 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.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to coordinate
AI-agent companies
> - Human operators use the Decisions attention queue to review and
resolve work that needs them
> - Decision rows were composed as a fixed content column plus a
right-side controls column
> - At phone widths, timestamps, actions, menus, and evidence thumbnails
compressed the decision headline until it was barely readable
> - This pull request makes each row respond to its own container width
and stacks metadata, content, evidence, and actions on narrow surfaces
while preserving the dense desktop layout
> - The benefit is a useful, thumb-reachable Decisions workflow on
phones and narrow side panels without regressing wide-screen density or
scrolling performance
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exactly matches this bug, so it is described here
using the bug-report fields.
**What happened**
Decision rows used a fixed two-column layout. On narrow screens, the
right-hand timestamp, overflow menu, decision buttons, and optional
thumbnails squeezed the headline into a truncated sliver.
**Expected behavior**
Decision headlines should remain readable on mobile, supporting context
should flow below the headline, and primary actions should remain easy
to tap. Wide rows should retain the compact desktop presentation.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open the Decisions / What needs me surface with populated attention
items.
2. Reduce the row container to a phone-width layout (approximately
390px).
3. Observe rows with multiple actions or evidence thumbnails.
**Paperclip version / deployment mode**
Current `master`, board UI in local or hosted deployments.
**Related public work found during dedup search**
- Refs: #9311 — original What needs me attention queue work.
- Refs: #9468 — recent Decisions scrolling performance work preserved by
this change.
## What Changed
- Reworked `AttentionQueueRow` into a container-query-driven vertical
stack on narrow surfaces, with the existing compact layout restored at
wide row widths.
- Made decision titles wrap to two lines, moved project/evidence context
below the headline, and promoted actions to full-width mobile tap
targets.
- Preserved upstream row memoization and `content-visibility` scrolling
optimizations while rebasing onto current `master`.
- Added three 390px Storybook scenarios covering populated rows,
type/detail variants, and snoozed/dismissed curtains.
- Updated the focused row test to assert the new thumbnail/context
alignment.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/AttentionQueueRow.test.tsx` —
1 file passed, 16 tests passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — all token gates clean.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build-storybook` — completed
successfully.
- `git diff --check public/master...HEAD` — passed.
## Risks
- Low risk: the behavior is isolated to the Decisions row presentation
and its Storybook coverage.
- Container-query breakpoints could need future visual tuning for
unusual embedded widths, but the wide layout remains available at the
row-level breakpoint.
- The mobile layout increases row height by design in exchange for
readable content and usable actions.

## 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.
> ROADMAP.md was checked; no duplicate planned core feature was
identified. Related open pull requests were searched before opening this
PR.

## 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.
> - 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,
and workspace quarantine now requires ownership by the issue being
retried.
- Existing stored confirmation results remain compatible because the new
resume-failure field is optional.

## 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.
> - 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 --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
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-skill-test-runs-service.test.ts
ui/src/lib/skill-studio.test.ts ui/src/pages/SkillStudio.test.tsx` — 5
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.

## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 coding agent with shell, git, and GitHub CLI tool
use. Earlier feature commits include assistance from other Paperclip
coding agents; this PR preparation, rebase, cleanup commit, and PR body
were completed by OpenAI Codex in a Paperclip worktree.

## 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.
## Verification
- `corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/acpx-engine typecheck`

- `node --test scripts/bootstrap-npm-package.test.mjs
scripts/release-package-map.test.mjs
scripts/verify-release-registry-state.test.mjs`
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.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Its UI is governed by a design system (`DESIGN.md` + the token layer
in `ui/src/index.css`, merged in #9134) whose first principle is "one
way to say each thing" — one Card, one Badge, one nav row
> - After the token extraction landed, ~35 files still hand-rolled card
containers, ~45 files hand-rolled pill spans, the sidebar agents section
duplicated the nav-row chrome, and the inbox and tasks lists rendered
the same task rows two subtly different ways
> - Each divergence is a place where a future design change (radius,
hover language, status vocabulary) silently misses surfaces, defeating
the "edit tokens + run checks" model the design system exists for
> - This pull request converges those surfaces onto the shared
primitives, codifies the radius scale as the modern multiplicative
shadcn ladder, and unifies the row/hover/tree-guide language across the
inbox and tasks lists — every visible delta was human-reviewed
screen-by-screen against a live instance across nine feedback rounds
> - The benefit is that the app's look is now steerable from single
knobs (one `--radius` anchor, one Card, one Badge, one row component),
and the visual regression suite covers the result (514 snapshots
including a new AgentDetail page story)
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this work; describing per the feature
template:
- **Problem**: after the design-token foundation (#9134),
component-level drift remained — hand-rolled cards/pills, duplicated
sidebar row chrome, and two different renderings of task rows (inbox vs
tasks list) meant design changes had to be applied per-surface and
frequently missed spots (e.g. status glyphs rendered 16px in the inbox
but 20px in the tasks list because a slot override silently beat the
component default).
- **Proposed behavior**: all card-shaped containers render via `Card`,
all label pills via `Badge`, sidebar rows via `SidebarNavItem`, and both
task-list surfaces via one `IssueRow` configuration; the radius scale is
a single multiplicative ladder anchored at `--radius: 0.5rem`.
- **Alternatives considered**: converting interactive
`<button>`/`<Link>` cards to `Card` divs (rejected — breaks semantics;
documented inline with `design-allow` comments instead); keeping the
legacy additive radius ladder (rejected in favor of the standard shadcn
multiplicative mapping).
## What Changed
- `Card` adoption across ~35 files (settings pages, auth/board flows,
dashboards, list containers, KPI tiles); non-adoptable sites
(interactive cards, `<li>` rows, class-string props, chart tooltip)
carry documented `design-allow(card-pattern)` comments
- `Card` gains an `interactive` prop — one quiet hover affordance for
clickable cards (cursor, border darken, shadow lift, focus ring),
applied to skills tiles, artifact cards, and the company selector; cards
carry no resting shadow
- `Badge` adoption for 113 hand-rolled pill spans across ~45 files;
`PropertyChip` wraps `Badge` internally; `StatusBadge`, external-object
chips, and match chips stay bespoke by documented decision (WCAG-tuned
status mechanics)
- Radius ladder becomes the multiplicative shadcn mapping
(`sm/md/lg/xl/2xl/3xl/4xl = 0.6/0.8/1.0/1.4/1.8/2.2/2.6 × --radius`,
anchor `0.5rem`); every card surface unifies on `rounded-lg`; the
orphaned 8px literal token is deleted
- Sidebar: agent rows render via `SidebarNavItem` (new additive props:
`iconNode`, `active`, `trailing`, `liveAccessory`); live dots use
`--status-agent-running`; one row rhythm and inset rounded pill
highlight; right-aligned trailing badges; every labeled section is
collapsible
- Inbox + tasks lists unified: md status glyphs, `accent/50` rounded row
hovers, vertical tree guides under parent rows (opaque underlay so
dark-mode translucent borders don't stack), no horizontal dividers under
expanded parents; the swipe-to-archive reveal layer shows only
mid-swipe; board toggle uses the `SquareKanban` glyph
- Kanban: every column carries a status-hued tint; lanes default
expanded (including empty); compact mode collapses empty lanes to
labeled rails (fixes a clipped, label-less empty-column state)
- Storybook: new AgentDetail page story (realistic fixtures, light+dark)
joins the visual suite; suite captures with `reducedMotion: 'reduce'`
and the ux-lab reasoning ticker honors `prefers-reduced-motion`; a stale
lexical alias in `storybook/main.ts` is fixed (build was broken since
the lexical 0.46 bump)
- Keyboard navigation, from live review of the unified lists: inbox
navigation keys work on every tab (archive keys stay scoped to the
archivable tab); keyboard-driven scrolling no longer hands the selection
to whatever row lands under the stationary cursor (hover selects only
after real pointer movement); the tasks list view gains the same j/k /
arrows / Enter selection model as the inbox; and the `g` then `i`
go-to-inbox chord works app-wide instead of only on the issue detail
page
- Token gates restored to 3/3 CLEAN (tokenized a post-#9134 regression
in the recovery card); decisions recorded in
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md` and `doc/design/COMPONENT-INVENTORY.md`
(investigation verdicts: FileTree vs WorkspaceFileBrowser and the four
entity pickers stay separate — evidence included)
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates` → 3/3 CLEAN
- `pnpm typecheck` → green (all packages)
- `cd ui && npx vitest run` → 2106/2106 (assertions updated in lockstep
where they documented superseded decisions; new tests for the global
go-to-inbox chord)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` → exit 0
- `pnpm build-storybook` → succeeds (also fixes the lexical-alias break
on master)
- Visual regression: 514-snapshot Playwright suite green against the
updated baseline (zero diffs from the keyboard-navigation round — those
changes are purely behavioral). Note: baselines live outside git per the
suite design and the baseline-manifest archive is not yet published, so
CI cannot run this suite — it was run locally throughout; every visible
delta was reviewed screen-by-screen in a live instance across nine
review rounds. Review evidence (before/after triplets) intentionally
kept out of the repo for size; available on request.
- Manual: exercised dashboard, tasks (list + board), inbox, agents,
skills, costs, settings, and artifact surfaces in light and dark themes
## Risks
- Wide but shallow visual surface: most changes are class-string
substitutions with behavior preserved (props, handlers, roles, test
ids). The riskiest areas — dnd-kit card refs (React 19 ref-as-prop),
inbox swipe-to-archive, and sidebar overlays — are covered by existing
unit tests (all green) and were manually exercised.
- Intentional visual deltas (rounded cards, tinted kanban columns, md
status glyphs, unified hovers) are design decisions recorded in
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md`; each maps to a re-baselined snapshot set
locally.
- The visual suite cannot yet run in CI (unpublished baseline archive —
pre-existing condition from #9134); until that lands, snapshot coverage
is local-only.
## Model Used
- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`, Anthropic) via Claude Code — agentic
coding with tool use (file editing, test execution, Playwright
screenshot verification); extended thinking enabled.

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
> - 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
- Greptile follow-up fixes on `992705edd`: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-finalize-branch.test.ts` (209
tests); `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`; `git diff
--check`
- Post-rebase CI fixes: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts`; `pnpm exec
vitest run server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-finalize-branch.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts` (227 tests);
`pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `npm test` server suites covering the changes:
`heartbeat-process-recovery`, `heartbeat-stop-metadata`,
`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
## Model Used
- Claude (Anthropic) — claude-fable-5 via Claude Code / Paperclip agent
harness, extended thinking with tool use; implementation commits also
produced with Codex CLI (GPT-5 class) agents under the same harness

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Its UI is the operator's daily surface: task lists, boards, budgets,
agent status — all built on shadcn components and Tailwind
> - Visual values (colors, spacing, type sizes, radii) were hardcoded at
~1,600 call sites: the same "small gray label" was 9/10/11px depending
on the file, charts disagreed with chips about status colors, two
toggle-switch implementations coexisted in two greens, and there was no
visual regression coverage
> - This made the UI drift-prone and made any restyle a
hundreds-of-files project, which discourages design iteration
> - This pull request extracts visual values into a single token layer
in `ui/src/index.css`, adds a Storybook visual regression suite backed
by external immutable baseline archives, and then applies a deliberate
retune reviewed change-by-change on screenshot diffs
> - The benefit is that Paperclip's look becomes a config surface:
retheming is a token edit reviewed as a snapshot diff, drift is blocked
by a token gate, and future UI PRs can prove exactly what changed
visually without committing hundreds of PNGs
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing public issue covers this work (searched "design tokens",
"visual regression", "design system" across issues and PRs). Related in
spirit: Refs #8982 (theming a hardcoded panel — a one-off instance of
the same problem class this PR addresses systematically).
**Problem (feature-request form):** UI visual values are hardcoded per
call site with no source of truth and no regression coverage;
consistency depends on reviewer memory, and restyling requires mass file
edits.
**Proposed solution (this PR):** a single token layer + enforcement gate
+ externally stored visual snapshot suite, then an intentional restyle
on top of that foundation.
## What Changed
- **Token extraction (zero visual change, machine-verified during
development):** committed codemods (`scripts/codemod-*.mjs`) moved
~1,600 hardcoded color/type/spacing/radius/shadow/misc values into named
tokens in a non-inline `:root` block of `ui/src/index.css`.
- **Visual regression suite:** `pnpm test:storybook-visual` covers 255
stories × light/dark = 510 Playwright screenshots at `maxDiffPixels: 0`,
plus new primitive-coverage stories and deterministic-render fixes.
- **External visual baselines:** committed PNG snapshots were removed.
`tests/storybook-visual/baseline-manifest.json` pins an immutable
archive URL/hash/size/count, and `scripts/storybook-visual-baseline.mjs`
handles `download`, `verify`, `pack`, and trusted maintainer `upload`
flows.
- **Opt-in visual CI artifacts:** added a `Storybook Visual` workflow
that runs on manual dispatch or PRs labeled `storybook-visual`,
downloads/verifies the baseline, runs Playwright, and uploads Playwright
report/test-result artifacts for review. Normal PR runs do not mutate
baseline objects.
- **Token gate:** `pnpm check:token-gates` — zero hex literals, zero
arbitrary bracket values, zero raw font-sizes in `ui/src/components/**`
and `ui/src/pages/**`, with a documented inline allowlist for legitimate
opt-outs.
- **Theme retune (intentional, snapshot-reviewed):** new base theme
values; radius ladder derived from a single `--radius` knob; micro-type
cluster collapsed to a named ladder (`--text-nano/micro/compact` +
Tailwind `text-xs`/`text-sm`); letter-spacing collapsed to named steps.
- **One status-color vocabulary:** charts, quota/budget bar fills,
RUNNING/live chips, and liveness indicators all use the canonical
`--status-*` hues. Light-mode legibility fixes for red alert surfaces
that used dark-tuned text classes.
- **One switch:** `ToggleSwitch` restyled to the registry capsule form,
second hand-rolled implementation removed, and all call sites unified.
- **Docs:** `DESIGN.md` is the design contract; `doc/design/` holds
audit reports, decision logs, and updated guidance for external baseline
review/update workflows.
- Dead code removed (`agentStatusBadge` duplicate map), byte-identical
contrast constants consolidated, semantic renames
(`--project-seed`/`--project-none`, `--liveness-blue`).
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 gates CLEAN during the design-system
run
- `pnpm typecheck` && `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` — green
during the design-system run
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/storybook-visual-baseline.test.mjs` —
pass after external-baseline rework
- `pnpm exec tsc --noEmit --pretty false --module NodeNext
--moduleResolution NodeNext --target ES2022 --types
node,@playwright/test tests/storybook-visual/playwright.config.ts
tests/storybook-visual/storybook-visual.spec.ts` — pass after
external-baseline rework
- `git diff --check origin/pr/9134..HEAD` — pass after external-baseline
rework
- `find tests/storybook-visual -type f -name '*.png' -print | wc -l` —
`0`
- `node scripts/storybook-visual-baseline.mjs verify` — intentionally
fails closed until the first trusted maintainer publishes the baseline
archive and updates `baseline-manifest.json`
## Risks
- **Large but shallow:** the PR still touches many UI files due to
mechanical token extraction and retune work, but committed PNG snapshot
churn has been removed from the branch.
- **Baseline publication required before the visual suite can pass in
clean clones:** the manifest currently has placeholder archive metadata.
A trusted maintainer must publish the first immutable archive, then
update `baseline-manifest.json`.
- **Rendering platform variance:** the external baseline should be
captured in the documented Linux/Chromium environment. Future CI runs
verify against the pinned archive and fail closed on checksum/count
mismatch.
- **Visual CI is opt-in while stabilizing:** add the `storybook-visual`
label or dispatch the workflow manually to produce downloadable
Playwright report/test-result artifacts.
- **Scheduled follow-ups, deliberately out of scope:** Tailwind palette
classes map to semantic tokens in a dedicated pass; card/pill component
consolidation; ESLint ratchet. Tracked in
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md`.
## Model Used
Claude Fable 5 (Anthropic, `claude-fable-5`, Mythos-class tier) with
extended thinking, running in Claude Code with tool use; mechanical
phases delegated to Claude Sonnet subagents. Follow-up external-baseline
rework assisted by OpenAI Codex (`gpt-5` coding agent with repository,
terminal, and GitHub tool use). All bulk rewrites executed via
deterministic, idempotent scripts committed in `scripts/`; intentional
visual changes were human-reviewed on screenshot contact sheets.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The board UI is where operators create issues, inspect issue-thread
decisions, write markdown, and move between issue workflow surfaces.
> - A broad recovered branch mixed these operator workflow polish fixes
with unrelated backend, pipeline, plugin, eval, and work-product
changes.
> - Reviewers need the operator UI workflow fixes in a small PR that can
be understood without pulling in the rest of that recovery branch.
> - This pull request extracts only the issue workflow UI slice:
interaction cards, markdown editing fallback behavior, create-issue work
mode shortcuts, file-viewer URL handling, and issue navigation scroll
behavior.
> - The benefit is a lower-risk review path for operator workflow fixes
while keeping unrelated execution-workspace and server work out of this
PR.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Refs #8866, the closed broad source PR that this focused slice was
extracted from.
- Related: #8228 is an open UI polish PR, but its file list does not
overlap this branch.
- Related: #4090 is older merged operator workflow polish context.
No public GitHub issue exists for this exact extracted slice. The
problem is that several small operator issue-workflow fixes were bundled
inside a broad recovery branch, making them hard to review and ship
independently.
## What Changed
- Removed interaction continuation wake-policy labels from issue-thread
interaction card headers and updated the card test/story copy
accordingly.
- Added a markdown editor error boundary so rich editor render crashes
fall back to a raw textarea instead of breaking the compose surface.
- Made the create-issue work-mode shortcut accept ctrl-period and iOS
hardware-keyboard command-period-as-Escape behavior without dismissing
the dialog.
- Fixed file-viewer URL navigation to compare against the live browser
search string when router state is stale.
- Restored scroll reset when navigating from an issue detail route back
to the issue index, while preserving browser-history restoration
behavior.

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
## Risks
Low risk. The PR is limited to UI workflow components/helpers and their
tests. Main behavioral risks are keyboard shortcut edge cases across
browsers and fallback editor rendering, both covered by focused tests.
## Model Used

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The board UI is where operators inspect company activity, agent
work, and issue progress.

execution without opening each issue thread individually.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this change.
Subsystem affected:
- ui/ — React + Vite board UI
Problem or motivation:
- Operators can inspect individual issues and runs, but there is no
compact time-based view of company work across agents.
- This makes it harder to scan overlaps, handoffs, retries, and activity
windows without opening many issue threads.
Proposed solution:
- Add a company-scoped Work Timeline page in the board UI.
- Render agent and system run spans as a custom SVG Gantt-style chart
with packed overlap lanes.
- Show issue color identity, kickoff attribution, hover-revealed
delegation connectors, retry styling, zoom controls, a sticky actor
gutter, and a minimap brush.
- Keep human activity lightweight by showing human kickoff chips without
plotting standalone human event rows.
Alternatives considered:
- Add the same information to existing issue-list or run-list views.
That would preserve simpler UI, but it would not show temporal overlap
or handoff paths clearly.
- Build this as a plugin-only surface. That keeps core smaller, but the
board already has the company-scoped route, navigation, and API client
patterns needed for this operator workflow.
Roadmap alignment:
- `ROADMAP.md` does not list an existing duplicate work-timeline
milestone. This supports the broader operator visibility direction
around artifacts, enforced outcomes, and higher-autonomy execution.
Additional context:
- Storybook includes `Pages/Work Timeline` stories for hour/day zoom and
a human-activity sample so reviewers can inspect the component without a
live backend.
## What Changed
- Added the Work Timeline page, route, sidebar entry, API client, query
key, and company-prefixed route helper coverage.
- Added a pure timeline layout transform for row packing, issue colors,
kickoff attribution, connector calculation, tick selection, and duration
formatting.
- Added the custom SVG timeline chart with sticky actor gutter,
hover-revealed connectors, zoom controls, minimap brushing,
visible-range feedback, and issue navigation.
- Added Storybook coverage plus sample fixtures for the work timeline.
- Added and corrected focused UI tests covering layout, chart behavior,
routing, sidebar behavior, and collapsed-sidebar expectations.
- Addressed Greptile feedback for kickoff fallback ordering, minimap
range math, document drag listener cleanup, and stable default `now`
handling.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/lib/timeline/layout.test.ts
src/components/timeline/WorkTimelineChart.test.tsx
src/pages/Timeline.test.tsx src/lib/company-routes.test.ts
src/components/Sidebar.test.tsx
src/components/RequestCollapsedSidebar.test.tsx`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `git merge-tree $(git merge-base HEAD origin/master) HEAD
origin/master | rg -n "<<<<<<<|changed in both|CONFLICT"` returned no
conflicts.
- Attempted Storybook screenshot capture with Playwright; Storybook ran
locally, but Chromium could not launch in this container because native
browser libraries such as `libatk-1.0.so.0` are unavailable and `npx
playwright install-deps chromium` requires interactive sudo.
## Risks
- Medium UI risk: this adds a substantial visual surface with custom SVG
interaction logic, so browser-level review is still useful for
responsive behavior and usability.
- Low backend risk: this PR only adds a UI client/page around the
existing timeline API contract and does not change database schema or
server routes.

## 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.
> - The issue details sidebar is a high-traffic operator surface for
scanning task state, ownership, policy, relationships, and external
references.
> - The previous properties pane mixed too much behavior in one large
component and several rows could overflow or become hard to scan with
long labels and relation lists.
> - The UI needed a narrower, more reusable structure so compact
property rows, relation pills, external URL rows, and picker triggers
behave consistently.
> - This pull request splits the properties pane into focused helper
modules and tightens the pane's layout, truncation, popover, and
overflow behavior.
> - The benefit is a denser, more stable properties pane that stays
usable when issues have long titles, many relationships, external URLs,
or execution policy IDs.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists for this work. I searched GitHub issues and PRs
for `IssueProperties properties pane`; there was no duplicate issue and
the matching PRs were unrelated test stabilization or other work.
### Problem or motivation
The board issue details properties pane is a frequent operator workflow
surface, but it was implemented as one large component and several rows
could become hard to scan with long labels, many relationships, external
URLs, or execution policy IDs.
### Proposed solution
Split the properties pane into focused modules, tighten compact row
layout and truncation behavior, add bounded previews with explicit
expansion controls for long relation and URL lists, and make execution
policy ID generation work on insecure origins as well as normal browser
origins.
### Alternatives considered
A smaller patch inside the existing monolithic component would fix
individual overflow symptoms, but it would keep related primitives,
picker behavior, relation controls, and external URL rendering tangled
in one file. The split keeps the behavior easier to test and review
without changing public APIs.
### Roadmap alignment
This is an incremental UI quality improvement to the existing board task
details surface. I checked `ROADMAP.md` and did not find overlapping
planned core feature work.
## What Changed
- Split the issue properties pane into focused modules for helpers,
primitives, relation controls, property pickers, and external object
rows.
- Cleaned up row spacing, truncation, picker trigger alignment, scroll
behavior, status color coverage, and long-value titles.
- Added bounded previews and expand/collapse controls for blocking,
sub-task, related-task, and external URL lists.
- Fixed execution policy ID generation so insecure origins fall back to
a stable base URL instead of throwing.
- Updated Storybook issue-management stories and expanded unit coverage
for the new properties pane behavior.
## Verification
- `git diff --check origin/master..HEAD`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/IssueProperties.test.tsx` — 38 tests passed
## Risks
Low to moderate risk. The changes are UI-only, but they touch a
frequently used task details surface. The main risk is a subtle layout
regression in an untested viewport or issue shape; the branch adds
targeted coverage for long relation and external URL lists.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage AI
agents for work.
> - Environment variables and secrets sit in the configuration surfaces
that let agents, projects, routines, and company environments run with
the right runtime inputs.
> - The previous editor was a single legacy component with cramped row
behavior, weak secret conversion affordances, and duplicated handling
across several call sites.
> - Operators need a clearer editor that handles text values, secret
references, draft rows, and sensitive-value warnings consistently
wherever environment variables are configured.
> - This pull request replaces the legacy editor with a reusable
environment variables editor and migrates the existing configuration
surfaces to it.
> - The benefit is a more reliable editing workflow with targeted test
coverage around row state, dotenv parsing, secret selection, and
affected page integrations.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists, so this PR describes the issue inline
following the feature request template.
### Subsystem affected
ui/ — React + Vite board UI
### Problem or motivation
Environment variables are edited in several Paperclip configuration
surfaces, including agent config, project properties, stage secrets,
routine sections, company environments, and company settings. The legacy
editor made common operator work difficult: rows could feel cramped,
secret conversion was inconsistent, draft rows and imported dotenv data
were easy to mishandle, and sensitive-value warnings did not have a
consistent place in the workflow.
### Proposed solution
Introduce a reusable environment variables editor component that
consistently supports text values, secret references, draft rows, dotenv
import parsing, sensitive-value hints, secret picking, secret creation,
and conversion to stored secrets. Migrate the existing
environment-variable call sites to the shared editor so behavior and
tests live in one component family.
### Alternatives considered
Keeping the existing `EnvVarEditor` and patching individual call sites
would preserve duplication and leave each surface responsible for its
own row and secret handling. This PR instead centralizes the behavior so
future fixes cover all migrated surfaces.
### Roadmap alignment
Checked `ROADMAP.md`; this does not duplicate a named roadmap item. It
supports the existing local-first and deployment-oriented product
direction by improving the UI where operators configure runtime
environment values.
### Additional context
The PR includes targeted tests for the editor model, dotenv parsing,
sensitive-value detection, component behavior, affected page
integrations, and Greptile review regressions around external saves and
bulk import immutability.
## What Changed
- Replaced the legacy `EnvVarEditor` with a reusable
`environment-variables-editor` component family.
- Added editor model helpers for draft rows, dotenv parsing,
sensitive-value detection, secret picking, secret creation, and
conversion to secret references.
- Migrated agent config, project properties, stage secrets, routine
editable sections, company environments, company settings, design guide
examples, and Storybook stories to the new editor.
- Added targeted tests for the editor model, parsing, sensitive-value
detection, component behavior, and affected company environment/settings
integrations.
- Fixed the company settings test harness to use the repo’s
`flushSync`-based React test helper pattern under the current React
build.
- Addressed Greptile feedback by flushing pending editor drafts before
enclosing form submits or external save-button clicks, cloning
bulk-import rows before mutation, and deferring the overflow
store-as-secret popover open path.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
ui/src/components/environment-variables-editor/EnvironmentVariablesEditor.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/CompanyEnvironments.test.tsx
ui/src/components/AgentConfigForm.render.test.tsx` — passed, 3 files /
40 tests.
- Earlier focused Vitest coverage for model, dotenv parsing, sensitive
detection, company environments, and company settings passed, 6 files /
78 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- GitHub PR checks on head `0aa49c6f8afed1f62d9e26da07fc466fbf299850` —
passed; CI checks green, security review neutral, Greptile check
success.
- Greptile review — 5/5 confidence on head
`0aa49c6f8afed1f62d9e26da07fc466fbf299850`; 0 unresolved review threads.
## Risks
- Medium UI risk: several environment-variable entry surfaces now share
the new editor, so regressions could affect multiple configuration
workflows at once.
- Secret conversion, draft-row behavior, external save flushing, and
bulk import behavior are covered by targeted tests, but reviewer
attention should still focus on manual editing flows, focus retention,
and save/cancel affordances.
- No database or API contract changes.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Adapter names are part of the board-facing agent setup and
management experience.
> - The product now treats adapters as harnesses, while execution
environments are modeled separately.
> - Several built-in adapter labels still carried legacy local wording
from the older harness-by-environment model.
> - That wording makes the UI noisier and implies a distinction users no
longer need to reason about.
> - This pull request normalizes adapter display labels while keeping
persisted adapter type identifiers unchanged.
> - The benefit is clearer adapter selection and management copy without
a database migration.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue was found for this exact cleanup.
Related public PRs:
- Supersedes #8910, an earlier branch for the same cleanup that did not
include the later docs/gateway/Cursor alignment.
- Refs #8819, which is related display-registry work for external
multi-segment adapter labels, but not a duplicate of this built-in label
cleanup.
Feature request details:
- Subsystem affected: Cross-cutting (`ui/`, `packages/adapters`, and
docs).
- Problem or motivation: user-facing adapter names include legacy local
qualifiers even though adapters map to harnesses and environments are
first-class elsewhere.
- Proposed solution: remove the legacy local wording from built-in
display labels, keep machine-readable adapter type ids unchanged, and
keep gateway disambiguation where it is useful.
- Alternatives considered: changing persisted adapter type ids was ruled
out because it would create migration and compatibility risk; one-off UI
replacements were ruled out because the display registry is already the
correct central label boundary.
- Roadmap alignment: this is small adapter UX polish, not a new
roadmap-level core feature.
## What Changed
- Updated the adapter display registry so known adapter labels are final
and no built-in local adapter renders a legacy local suffix.
- Preserved clean derived labels for unknown plugin local types while
keeping gateway disambiguation for unknown gateway types.
- Updated `AdapterManager` to prefer registry labels when the server
reports raw adapter type ids for built-ins.
- Removed legacy local wording from built-in adapter metadata labels in
UI and adapter packages.
- Aligned Cursor adapter metadata with the central display registry
label.
- Updated adapter docs and Storybook fixtures to match the new display
names.
- Added focused registry coverage for built-in labels and unknown plugin
suffix behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm check:tokens`
- `git diff --check origin/master...fix/adapter-display-labels`
- Patch-addition scan for added secrets, private paths, and internal
links: no matches.
- GitHub duplicate search for open adapter-label/local-suffix issues and
PRs; #8910 was identified as the older superseded public PR.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
ui/src/adapters/adapter-display-registry.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- Stale-label scan found no remaining user-facing display-label
suffixes; remaining local wording is operational/test terminology such
as adapter ids, docs about running locally, and test descriptions.
## Risks
Low risk. The change is display-label and documentation focused, and
adapter type ids remain unchanged. The main risk is ambiguous gateway
naming, mitigated by keeping explicit gateway labels where variants need
disambiguation.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 via Codex, tool-enabled coding agent in a local repository
workspace. Context window size is not exposed by this environment.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The app shell exposes user-visible product surfaces through routes
and the left navigation
> - The Work Timeline frontend landed on `master` in related PR #8880
before the product surface was ready for general users
> - The backend aggregation endpoint and shared DTOs can remain
available for continued iteration without exposing the page in the main
app
> - This pull request removes the visible `/timeline` route, sidebar
entry, page implementation, chart component, and Storybook fixtures
> - The benefit is that users no longer see an unfinished Work Timeline
page on `master`, while future work can continue from a preserved
branch/workspace
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this rollback request.
Bug-style description:
- **What happened:** A Work Timeline page was exposed in the app
navigation before the surface was ready for users.
- **Expected behavior:** Unready product work should not be visible from
the default app shell on `master`.
- **Steps to reproduce:** Open the app on current `master`; the sidebar
includes a `Timeline` item that routes to `/timeline`.
- **Paperclip version/commit:**
`60f7fb422394c94618b8eef27ae032702004f544`.
- **Deployment mode:** Local app / standard Paperclip app shell.
- **Related public PR:** #8880.
## What Changed
- Removed the `/timeline` route and `Timeline` page import from the app
route table.
- Removed the `Timeline` sidebar item and unused `GanttChartSquare` icon
import.
- Deleted the frontend Work Timeline API wrapper, chart component,
layout helper, page, Storybook story, and sample fixtures.
- Removed the now-unused `queryKeys.workTimeline` entry.
- Left the backend timeline endpoint and shared DTOs intact so the data
contract can continue to be developed off the preserved work.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- Searched the frontend for stale `workTimeline`, `WorkTimeline`,
`/timeline` route/sidebar, and `GanttChartSquare` references after
deletion.
## Risks
- Low runtime risk: this removes an app route and navigation entry for
an unfinished surface.
- Deep links to `/timeline` will now fall through to the app's existing
not-found behavior.
- The backend endpoint remains available; if the intent was to remove
the API too, that should be handled in a separate, explicit PR.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex coding agent, GPT-5-based model, with shell/tool use for
repository inspection, code editing, git, and GitHub CLI operations.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Operators need to *see* how work actually flowed across their agents
over time — who was invoked, what they worked on, and how work was
delegated between them
> - The dashboard shows point-in-time state but nothing reconstructs the
temporal, cross-actor picture of heartbeat runs and delegations
> - A read-only company work-timeline endpoint was landed first (server
aggregation over runs/issues/activity); it had no frontend
> - This pull request adds the Gantt-style **Work Timeline** page that
renders that endpoint, plus the small additive server contract change it
needs (shared DTOs + a task title on each span)
> - The benefit is a single dense view — actor rows, concurrency lanes,
delegation connectors, zoom and a mini-map — that makes agent activity
legible without an N+1 fetch storm from the client
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue. Problem, in-PR:
- **Gap:** the company work-timeline aggregation endpoint has no UI.
There is no way to visually inspect how heartbeat runs unfolded over
time or how work was delegated between agents.
- **Solution:** a dashboard-adjacent Gantt-style page at
`/:companyPrefix/timeline`, linked from the sidebar's "Work" section,
rendering runs as bars on per-actor rows with delegation connectors,
kickoff chips, zoom, a lens filter, and a mini-map.
- Built with React + custom inline SVG (no chart dependency; consistent
with the existing Tailwind/Radix stack).
## What Changed
- **Frontend Gantt page** (`ui/src/pages/Timeline.tsx`,
`ui/src/components/timeline/WorkTimelineChart.tsx`): actor rows
(agents/system only — humans never get a row), overlapping runs packed
into concurrency sub-lanes, bars = heartbeat runs with a left colour tab
for issue identity, truncated task title + timing/status on hover,
click-through to the task.
- **Human activity markers & human rows** for kickoff/delegation
involving people, without giving humans their own run lane.
- **Kickoff avatar chips** at each bar's leading edge; straight
agent→agent delegation connectors (dashed for
retries/changes-requested); in-progress runs extend to a dashed "now"
line and fade out.
- **Zoom** (hour/day/week, auto-fit), full-window **mini-map** with a
draggable brush, **lens filter** (Everyone / per-user, server-side), and
colour **by task / by status**.
- **Pure layout/transform module** (`ui/src/lib/timeline/layout.ts`) —
packing, kickoff derivation, connector resolution, scales — unit-tested
in isolation.
- **Server contract (additive):** moved the `WorkTimeline*` DTOs into
`@paperclipai/shared` so the aggregation service and the UI consume one
contract; added `issueTitle` to each span so the tooltip shows the task
title with no N+1 client fetch.
- Sidebar link, query keys, API client (`ui/src/api/workTimeline.ts`),
and a Storybook story with fixtures.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared build` ✅
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` ✅ · `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/ui typecheck` ✅
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/lib/timeline/layout.test.ts
src/components/timeline/WorkTimelineChart.test.tsx` ✅ (15/15)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/work-timeline-service.test.ts` ✅ (5/5) — the DTO move +
`issueTitle` are additive; existing service tests use `objectContaining`
and still pass.
- Rendered `WorkTimelineChart` headless against a real slice of company
activity via a Storybook story; manual browser QA of the live page
passed on the feature branch.
## Risks
- **Low risk.** The change is UI-only plus an additive server DTO
refactor (types relocated to `@paperclipai/shared`, one new optional
field). No schema/migration changes, no change to endpoint behaviour
beyond the extra `issueTitle` field. The page is behind its own route
and does not alter existing views.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The inbox is where operators quickly scan which issues are active,
blocked, or waiting for attention
> - A blocked parent can still have active descendant work, but the
inbox previously depended on only loaded rows to infer that state
> - That made collapsed or partially loaded issue trees look more stuck
than they really were
> - This pull request carries live descendant summary data through the
issue list API and inbox UI
> - The benefit is a more accurate blocked-inbox signal, so operators
can distinguish truly stalled work from blocked parents that still have
live child activity
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue was found for this exact inbox descendant-status
polish.
Feature request fields:
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: `server/`, `packages/shared`, plugin/MCP API surfaces,
and `ui/` inbox rendering.
**Problem or motivation**
Inbox rows need to show when blocked or collapsed parents still have
live descendant work, even when the live child row is not loaded in the
current client tree. Without a server-provided descendant summary, a
parent can look stalled even though active work continues below it.
**Proposed solution**
Expose an optional live descendant count on issue list results, request
it from inbox views, and use it to render covered blocked status and
live-below indicators. Keep the field opt-in so other issue list callers
keep their existing payload shape and query cost.
**Alternatives considered**
Relying only on client-loaded subtree state was ruled out because it
misses collapsed or unloaded descendants. Always returning the count was
also avoided because most list callers do not need this extra summary.
**Roadmap alignment**
This is scoped operator-visibility polish for the existing inbox. It
does not duplicate a named `ROADMAP.md` milestone.
**Additional context**
The recursive summary query is guarded against parent cycles, and the UI
still falls back to loaded subtree live counts when server summary data
is absent or stale.
## What Changed
- Added optional `includeLiveDescendantSummary` support to issue list
contracts, SDK surfaces, MCP tools, routes, services, and tests.
- Added `liveDescendantCount` to issue list results when requested.
- Updated inbox and blocked-inbox queries to request live descendant
summaries.
- Updated inbox row status rendering so blocked parents with live
descendants show covered blocker treatment without duplicating the
live-below chip.
- Hardened live descendant summary traversal against parent cycles and
preserved the loaded-subtree fallback path for blocked inbox rows.
- Added focused tests for the API parameter, service behavior, helper
logic, cycle handling, and inbox UI query/rendering behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-list-assignee-filter-routes.test.ts
ui/src/lib/inbox-live-descendants.test.ts
ui/src/components/IssueColumns.test.tsx
ui/src/components/BlockedInboxView.test.tsx ui/src/pages/Inbox.test.tsx`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- Rebased cleanly onto current upstream `master` before pushing.
- Confirmed the branch diff does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml` or
`.github/workflows/*` changes.
## Risks
Low to moderate risk. The new descendant count is opt-in on list
requests, but it adds query work when the inbox asks for it. The
recursive traversal now tracks visited ancestors to avoid cycle
failures. The UI uses the server count as a supplement to existing
loaded-tree state, so stale or absent counts fall back to the prior
behavior.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Issue detail pages and run output cards both render user-facing
attachment previews
> - Media attachments were handled through separate gallery entry
points, so attachments from issue comments and issue output did not
share one consistent viewing path
> - A shared gallery path makes image browsing more predictable across
the issue surface
> - This pull request unifies the issue media attachment gallery
behavior across attachments, output cards, and issue detail rendering
> - The benefit is a more consistent image preview experience with
focused regression coverage around the affected UI paths
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #8788
This PR fixes inconsistent issue media preview behavior across
attachment and output surfaces.
## What Changed
- Unified issue media attachment gallery behavior across issue
attachments, issue output, output primary cards, and issue detail
rendering.
- Added image gallery modal coverage and regression tests for
attachments, output image handling, keyboard navigation, and issue
detail interactions.
- Preserved the primary video output Open action while still allowing
gallery browsing when a gallery handler is available.
- Updated issue attachment and issue output helper logic to preserve
shared image gallery metadata.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/ImageGalleryModal.test.tsx
src/components/issue-output/IssueOutputSection.test.tsx
src/components/IssueAttachmentsSection.test.tsx
src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx`
- Result: 4 files passed, 47 tests passed.
## Risks
Low to medium risk. The change is UI-scoped but touches shared issue
attachment/output rendering paths, so regressions would most likely
appear as image/video preview ordering, missing gallery entries, or
incorrect non-image attachment behavior.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operator secrets and provider vaults let a company connect external
secret stores without copying every value manually.
> - The existing AWS Secrets Manager import dialog already supports
importing remote secrets from any eligible vault.
> - From the Provider vaults tab, operators can see a specific vault
row, but there was no row-level import action that preserved that vault
context.
> - That meant importing from a specific vault required opening the
generic import dialog and reselecting the intended provider config.
> - This pull request adds a row-level refresh/import action that opens
the import dialog with the selected vault preselected.
> - The benefit is a tighter, less error-prone flow when a company has
multiple AWS provider vaults configured.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists for this small UI follow-up.
Problem description:
- Users with multiple AWS Secrets Manager provider vaults need to
refresh/import secrets from the vault they are currently looking at.
- The existing import dialog defaulted to the configured default vault
or first eligible vault, even when the operator initiated the flow from
a specific provider-vault row.
- This creates extra selection work and makes it easier to import from
the wrong vault.
Related public PRs: Refs #5429, #8586.
## What Changed
- Added a Provider vaults row action for AWS Secrets Manager configs to
refresh/import existing remote secrets.
- Threaded an optional initial provider config id into
`ImportFromVaultDialog` so the selected vault is preselected when
eligible.
- Reset the initial vault selection when the dialog closes or routes to
vault management.
- Added render coverage proving the row action opens the import dialog
and previews against the selected vault id.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/pages/Secrets.render.test.tsx` passed: 1
file, 9 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` passed.
## Risks
Low risk. This is UI-only behavior scoped to AWS Secrets Manager
provider-vault rows and the existing import dialog. The main risk is
that future provider types may need their own row-level import labels or
eligibility rules instead of sharing this AWS-specific action.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Skills can be installed, inspected, filtered, and grouped inside
company settings
> - Skill category metadata already exists in the data model and list
filters, but users could not edit categories after a skill was created
or imported
> - That made category filters and counts drift from the way operators
actually want to organize their skills
> - This pull request adds category editing to the existing skill
settings dialog and sends those edits through the existing
company-scoped skill update API
> - The server mutation now includes category information in the
activity log so settings changes are auditable
> - The benefit is that operators can keep installed skills organized
without reinstalling or recreating them
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No duplicate or closely related public GitHub issues or PRs were found
for `skill categories settings`.
Feature request fields:
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: `server/` REST API routes/services and `ui/` React board
settings.
**Problem or motivation**
Company operators can create or import skills with categories, and
Paperclip already exposes category filters and category counts. After
installation, though, operators could not edit a skill's categories from
the skill detail settings screen. That made it difficult to keep skills
grouped correctly as workflows evolved.
**Proposed solution**
Add category editing to the existing skill settings dialog. The category
field accepts comma-separated values, normalizes them into slugs,
deduplicates repeated categories, allows clearing all categories, and
saves categories together with the existing sharing setting through the
company-scoped skill update API.
**Alternatives considered**
One alternative was to keep categories editable only during
create/import flows, but that forces users to recreate or reinstall
skills just to adjust grouping metadata. Another was a separate
categories-only action, but batching settings into one explicit Save
action keeps the dialog predictable.
**Roadmap alignment**
This supports the completed Skills Manager roadmap area by making
installed skills easier to organize and maintain inside company
settings.
**Additional context**
The server already persisted skill categories and supported category
list filters/counts. This PR wires the existing metadata into the
settings editing path and adds focused route, service, and UI tests.
## What Changed
- Added category editing to the skill detail settings dialog, including
comma-separated input, normalized deduplication, reset, dirty-state
handling, and save feedback.
- Updated the skill settings mutation path to save categories and
sharing scope together, then refresh detail/list cache entries.
- Included updated categories in `company.skill_updated` activity
details.
- Added server route/service coverage for category updates,
normalization, filtering, counts, clearing, and activity logging.
- Added UI coverage for saving category edits, clearing categories,
reordered no-op category sets, saving sharing changes together, and
preserving draft input after a failed save.
- Updated the Storybook skill detail harness for the renamed settings
callback props.
## Verification
- `pnpm run preflight:workspace-links && pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-service.test.ts
ui/src/pages/CompanySkills.test.tsx`
- Latest-head GitHub checks are green for typecheck, build, e2e, general
tests, serialized server suites, policy, commitperclip review, Socket
Security, Snyk status, and Canary Dry Run.
- Greptile Review succeeded on the latest head with zero unresolved
review threads.
## Risks
Low risk. The change uses the existing company skill update API and
category normalization path. The main behavioral change is that the
settings dialog now batches sharing and category edits behind an
explicit Save button instead of saving sharing immediately on select
change.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The new issue dialog lets operators create follow-up tasks and
optionally reuse an existing execution workspace
> - Reusing a workspace depends on a searchable selector that can
include workspace names, branches, and local paths
> - The selector previously treated all matched text equally, so hidden
path text could outrank the visible workspace label and unrelated fuzzy
letter matches could leak into results
> - The reusable workspace popover also needed to stay inside the modal
so scrolling and layering behave like the rest of the dialog
> - This pull request improves the shared searchable select scoring and
applies it to reusable execution workspace choices
> - The benefit is a more predictable workspace reuse flow when an
operator searches by branch, task name, or workspace label
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue found for this selector bug.
### 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?
Workspace searches could rank hidden path matches ahead of direct
visible label matches, and broad fuzzy matching could match letters
spread across unrelated workspace metadata.
### Expected behavior
Direct label/name matches should sort ahead of weaker hidden metadata
matches, and fuzzy matching should stay constrained enough to avoid
unrelated workspace results.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Open the new issue dialog.
2. Choose reuse existing execution workspace.
3. Search for a term that appears in one workspace label and only in
another workspace path.
4. Observe that the path-only match can rank ahead of the direct visible
label match.
### Paperclip version or commit
Current `master` before this change.
### 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
Not database-related.
### Access context
Board (human operator).
### Node.js version
Not version-specific.
### Operating system
Not OS-specific.
### Relevant logs or output
No logs; this is client-side selector behavior.
### Relevant config (if applicable)
None.
### Additional context
This PR also keeps the reusable workspace selector popover inside the
modal and contains command-list scroll events to keep the dialog
interaction stable.
### 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 fuzzy scoring helpers for searchable text fields, including
field weights for visible labels versus secondary search metadata.
- Updated `SearchableSelect` to sort filtered results by score while
preserving original order for ties and custom filters.
- Updated reusable execution workspace matching to prefer visible
labels, then descriptions, then hidden search text.
- Kept the reusable workspace selector popover inside the new issue
modal and contained wheel/touch scrolling in the command list.
- Added unit/component coverage for selector ranking, reusable workspace
matching, modal popover containment, and scroll containment classes.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/lib/searchable-select.ts
ui/src/lib/reusable-execution-workspaces.test.ts
ui/src/components/SearchableSelect.test.tsx
ui/src/components/NewIssueDialog.test.tsx`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
## Risks
Low risk. The change is scoped to client-side searchable selector
ranking and modal popover behavior. The main behavior shift is that
searches are intentionally less permissive for unrelated fuzzy letter
spreads, which should reduce noisy results but could hide a result
someone previously reached through very loose matching.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-based coding agent with repository file access,
shell/tool execution, and medium reasoning effort. Exact hosted model
build and context window were not surfaced in this environment.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - This change touches several already-shipped subsystems —
document-comment annotations, the selected-agent Conference Room chat
surface, routine description annotations, workspace-operation tracking,
and the board polling/inbox UI
> - A batch of incremental fixes and two small backend additions had
accumulated on a local mainline and were deployed to a live instance,
but never landed upstream — so each `origin/master` sync kept
re-diverging
> - Leaving them un-upstreamed means the same delta has to be re-merged
on every sync and risks being lost or silently reverted
> - This pull request rebases that delta cleanly on top of current
`origin/master` (preserving recent upstream work such as reusable
sandbox leases and the relation-list collapse controls) and brings it up
for review
> - The benefit is that mainline and the deployed instance converge, and
these fixes/additions get normal review + CI + Greptile coverage
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No single GitHub issue tracks this; it is a bundle of bug fixes and two
small feature additions. Following the issue-template fields:
**Bug fixes (what was wrong → what this does):**
- Document comments rendered out of document order, didn't live-update
across clients, swallowed save failures, and lost the markdown text
selection on re-render. Now: doc-order sort, live updates, surfaced
save-failure state, stable selection across re-renders.
- The board polling hot path returned oversized payloads on every poll.
Now: an opt-in `summary` projection trims the heartbeat-run list
payload.
- Assorted UI fixes: sidebar nav peek/streamlining edge cases, markdown
file-viewer re-mount/line-height issues on iOS Safari, inbox badge/skill
deep-link tab selection, and `⌘.` work-mode cycling on iOS.
**Feature additions:**
- `workspace_operations.issue_id` — associate a workspace operation with
the issue that triggered it (new migration `0106`, schema, service,
shared type).
- Routine **description annotations** — comment threads on a routine's
description document, mirroring issue document annotations (new
migration `0107`, `routine_documents` schema, routes/service,
editable-sections UI).
- Selected-agent **Conference Room chat** surface wiring and live
issue-thread updates.
**Related PR:** #8229 (`feat(control-plane): add annotation and
workspace controls`, draft) covers overlapping
annotation/workspace-control territory — flagging it so a reviewer can
reconcile the two rather than double-merging.
## What Changed
- `feat(workspace)`: `workspace_operations.issue_id` migration +
schema/service/type; issue workspace property controls reconciled with
upstream's evolved "Service" row.
- `feat(routines)`: routine description annotations —
`routine_documents` schema, migration `0107`, routes/service,
`editable-sections` UI.
- `fix(document-comments)`: doc-order sort, live updates, save-failure
surfacing, stable markdown selection (+ storybook story, rerender test).
- `feat(chat)`: selected-agent Conference Room chat surface and live
issue-thread updates (`LiveUpdatesProvider`, `issue-chat-messages`,
interactions service).
- `perf(board)`: opt-in `summary` projection for the board
polling/heartbeat-run list payload, plus assorted sidebar / file-viewer
/ inbox / IssueProperties UI fixes.
Organized into 5 logical commits. Migrations are numbered incrementally
after upstream's latest (`0105`) — `0106` then `0107`, no journal
collision.
## Verification
- Built by 3-way merging the deployed delta onto current
`origin/master`; the only merge conflict (`IssueProperties.test.tsx`,
two adjacent test blocks) was resolved in favor of upstream's evolved
"green service link above the workspace row" layout, which matches the
merged component's rendered output.
- Confirmed recent upstream work is preserved post-merge: reusable
sandbox lease teardown (`#8513`), the IssueProperties relation-list
collapse controls, and the sidebar streamlined-nav default.
- Confirmed the net diff vs `origin/master` is exactly the intended
feature delta (65 files) and that overlapping server files (`issues.ts`,
`agents.ts`, `heartbeat.ts`) only add feature code without disturbing
upstream logic.
- This delta is already running on a live deployed instance.
- Full typecheck/test suite + Greptile to run in CI (see checklist).
## Risks
- Two new migrations (`0106`, `0107`). Both are additive (new table /
new nullable column) and ordered after upstream's `0105`; no data
backfill, low risk. If another migration-bearing PR merges first,
renumber before merge.
- Largest blast radius is in the merged overlapping UI/service files;
covered by the existing test suites for those files plus CI.
- Overlaps thematically with draft PR #8229 — reviewers should reconcile
rather than merge both blindly.
## Model Used

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to coordinate
AI agents, issues, approvals, comments, and work products.
> - The involved subsystem is issue context: markdown links, issue
properties, related work, lists, filters, inbox/sidebar status, and
plugin-provided external context.
> - The gap is that URLs to external systems currently remain mostly
plain links, so humans and agents must manually open them to understand
status, identity, and liveness.
> - This matters because external work objects such as GitHub issues and
pull requests are part of the operational state of a Paperclip company.
> - The implementation keeps core provider-neutral: shared contracts,
storage, sync, routes, and UI surfaces live in core while providers can
contribute detection and status resolution.
> - This pull request adds the external object reference foundation,
GitHub provider support, issue-surface rendering, filters,
sidebar/list/inbox signals, and test/story coverage.
> - The benefit is that linked external work becomes inspectable
Paperclip context without hardcoding every provider directly into the
UI.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this work.
Feature request:
- Problem: URLs in Paperclip issues, comments, documents, and related
surfaces do not expose provider status or object identity inline.
- Proposed behavior: detect supported external object URLs, persist
normalized references, refresh provider status, and render concise
status-aware links across issue surfaces.
- Users affected: board users, agents, and maintainers who triage issues
containing external work links.
- Acceptance: external object references are company-scoped,
provider-extensible, visible in key issue surfaces, filterable where
relevant, and covered by focused shared/server/UI tests.
Related PR search:
- No open duplicate PRs found for `external object references`.
- Closed related prior attempt: #4556.
## What Changed
- Added shared external-object contracts, validators, status/liveness
helpers, and plugin protocol declarations.
- Added database schema and additive migrations for external objects,
source mentions, and display metadata.
- Added server services/routes for detecting, syncing, summarizing,
refreshing, and resolving external objects across issues, documents,
comments, projects, and plugins.
- Added a GitHub external-object provider plus plugin SDK authoring
docs.
- Wired UI presentation across markdown links, comments, issue chat,
documents, properties, related work, issue rows, filters, inbox/sidebar
badges, and Storybook stories.
- Rebasing cleanup: moved the branch onto current `master`, repaired
stale worktree provision config, hardened environment-sensitive
tests/mocks, and removed committed screenshot artifacts from the PR
branch to keep the reviewable file set below tool limits.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/external-objects.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/external-object-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/external-objects-service.test.ts
ui/src/components/ExternalObjectPill.test.tsx
ui/src/lib/external-objects.test.ts` passed after rebasing: 5 files, 56
tests.
- Historical branch verification before this PR creation included `pnpm
test:run`, `pnpm -r typecheck`, and `pnpm build`; this PR body does not
claim those were rerun after the final rebase.
## Risks
- Medium: this adds a new cross-surface sync path on
issue/document/comment writes. The implementation uses safe sync
wrappers so external-object failures warn instead of blocking core
mutations.
- Medium: the migrations introduce new tables and indexes. They are
additive and company-scoped.
- Medium: provider-specific URL parsing can miss or misclassify edge
cases. Shared canonicalization tests and provider tests cover current
GitHub shapes.
- Low: UI badge/filter behavior could add visual noise for object-heavy
issues; component tests and Storybook stories cover the intended
surfaces.
> Roadmap checked: `ROADMAP.md` references the plugin system as the
current extension path and does not list a duplicate core feature.
Related long-range docs discuss external references, work products,
preview URLs, and plugin extension points; this PR implements the scoped
external-object reference foundation.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 coding-agent runtime, with shell and GitHub CLI tool
use. Reasoning mode: medium. Exact deployed runtime model ID and context
window were not exposed in the environment.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Local adapters (Claude, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, Grok, OpenCode, Pi,
ACPX) ship bundled "skills" — opinionated Markdown prompt bundles
materialized into the agent's runtime
> - One of those bundled skills, `paperclip-dev`, existed to let agents
develop Paperclip itself; it has now moved to its own external repo and
no longer belongs in the core tree
> - The adapter skill model also carried a `required` / `requiredReason`
attribute plus a `paperclip_required` `AdapterSkillOrigin` variant, all
of which only existed to mark bundled skills as non-optional in the UI
and adapter sync logic
> - With `paperclip-dev` gone, no bundled skill is "required" anymore,
and the type / runtime surface for `required` is dead weight — but it is
computed at request time and never persisted, so a clean removal is safe
(no compatibility shim needed)
> - This pull request deletes `skills/paperclip-dev/` and removes every
trace of the `required` / `requiredReason` field and the
`paperclip_required` origin across shared types, validators,
adapter-utils, all eight local adapters, server routes, the
company-skills service, the UI, the storybook fixtures, and the test
suite
> - The benefit is a smaller, simpler adapter-skill surface: one origin
(`company_managed`) for managed bundled skills,
`resolvePaperclipDesiredSkillNames` collapses to "just the configured
desired set", and the AgentDetail skills tab no longer renders a
"Required by Paperclip" section that no longer applies
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
<!-- No existing public GitHub issue; describing the underlying work
inline (feature_request template fields). -->
**Summary**
Remove the bundled `paperclip-dev` skill (now maintained in its own
external repo) and retire the `required` / `requiredReason` skill
attribute and the `paperclip_required` skill origin, which only existed
to support it.
**Problem or motivation**
`paperclip-dev` is the only bundled skill that was ever marked
"required". Now that it lives in a separate repository, shipping it
inside the core tree is wrong, and the entire `required` surface (a type
field, a validator field, a synthesized `paperclip_required` origin, UI
"Required by Paperclip" section, and required-skill merging in the
desired-skills calculation) becomes dead weight. The `required` value is
computed at request time and never persisted, so it can be removed
cleanly without a migration or compatibility shim.
**Proposed solution**
Delete `skills/paperclip-dev/`, drop the `required` / `requiredReason`
fields and `paperclip_required` origin everywhere they are produced or
consumed, collapse managed-skill origin to a single `company_managed`
value, and simplify `resolvePaperclipDesiredSkillNames` to return only
the configured desired set.
**Alternatives considered**
Keeping the `required` attribute as a no-op for forward compatibility —
rejected because it is request-time only (nothing persists it), so
leaving it in place is pure dead surface area with no callers.
**Roadmap alignment**
Internal cleanup / dead-code removal that simplifies the adapter-skill
surface; it does not introduce or duplicate any planned core feature in
ROADMAP.md.
## What Changed
- Deleted bundled `skills/paperclip-dev/` (moved to a separate repo).
- Dropped `required`, `requiredReason`, and the `paperclip_required`
origin from `packages/shared/src/types/adapter-skills.ts`,
`packages/shared/src/validators/adapter-skills.ts`, and
`packages/adapter-utils/src/types.ts`.
- In `packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.ts`: removed
`readSkillRequired()`; dropped `required`/`requiredReason` from
`listPaperclipSkillEntries()`,
`normalizeConfiguredPaperclipRuntimeSkills()`,
`buildPersistentSkillSnapshot()`, and `PaperclipSkillEntry`; collapsed
`buildManagedSkillOrigin()` to always return `company_managed`;
simplified `resolvePaperclipDesiredSkillNames()` to return only the
configured desired set (signature preserved so adapter call sites are
untouched).
- Walked all eight local adapters (`acpx-local`, `claude-local`,
`codex-local`, `cursor-local`, `gemini-local`, `grok-local`,
`opencode-local`, `pi-local`) and removed every remaining
`requiredReason` / `paperclip_required` reference.
- `server/src/services/company-skills.ts`: dropped the `required =
sourceKind === "paperclip_bundled"` synthesis when listing runtime skill
entries.
- `server/src/routes/agents.ts`: removed required-skill merging from the
desired-skills calculation in the persist-config path and the
unsupported-snapshot path (keeping the current version-aware
`desiredSkillEntries` structure).
- `ui/src/pages/AgentDetail.tsx`: dropped required-based filters, the
required tooltip, and the entire "Required by Paperclip" section from
the agent skills tab; storybook fixtures in
`ui/storybook/stories/acpx-local.stories.tsx` cleaned up to match.
- Tests: deleted the `required: false` case in
`paperclip-skill-utils.test.ts` and the "keeps required bundled skills
installed" case in every `*-local-skill-sync.test.ts`;
`acpx-local-execute.test.ts`, `cursor-local-execute.test.ts`,
`cursor-local-skill-sync.test.ts`, `agent-skills-routes.test.ts`, and
`packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts` were updated to drop
removed fields and map `origin: "paperclip_required"` →
`"company_managed"`.
- `server/src/adapters/registry.ts`: two `as unknown as
ServerAdapterModule["..."]` casts on `hermesListSkills` /
`hermesSyncSkills` (matching the existing `executeHermesLocal` pattern).
`hermes-paperclip-adapter@0.2.0` still depends on the published
`@paperclipai/adapter-utils` which keeps the retired
`paperclip_required` variant; the cast bridges the
workspace-vs-published type mismatch at the registry seam and can drop
once hermes upgrades.
## Verification
Run from the workspace root:
```sh
grep -rn "skills/paperclip-dev" .
grep -rn "paperclip_required" --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" .
grep -rn "requiredReason" --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" .
pnpm -w typecheck
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run paperclip-skill-utils
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run skill-sync
```
The first three greps return only the explanatory comment in
`server/src/adapters/registry.ts` (no live `paperclip_required` /
`requiredReason` usage) and zero `skills/paperclip-dev` source hits.
Locally:
- `pnpm -w typecheck` → all packages this PR touches pass
(adapter-utils, shared, server, ui, cli, and the
cursor/gemini/opencode/pi adapters).
- Affected vitest suites pass: `paperclip-skill-utils`, `server-utils`,
all eight `*-local-skill-sync`, `agent-skills-routes`, and the
`acpx`/`cursor`/`pi` execute suites.
## Risks
- Behavioral shift in the agent skills UI: the "Required by Paperclip"
section disappears. No bundled skill is required anymore, so this only
affects environments that previously surfaced `paperclip-dev` as a
forced-on row; those installs will see the skill move into the regular
"company-managed" list (and be uninstalled on next sync unless
explicitly listed as desired).
- Existing agents may still have the string `"paperclip-dev"` in their
persisted `desiredSkills`. That entry is inert (no source for it to
install from); a one-time DB cleanup is out of scope. Low risk.
- Hermes adapter type bridge: two casts in `registry.ts` paper over a
type-only divergence between the workspace `@paperclipai/adapter-utils`
and the published version still pinned by
`hermes-paperclip-adapter@0.2.0`. Runtime behavior is unaffected because
the retired `paperclip_required` value is no longer produced by anything
in this tree. The casts can be removed once hermes upgrades its
dependency.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for AI-agent companies, so execution
environment selection has to stay inspectable and predictable across
companies, agents, and runs.
> - The environment subsystem decides where an agent heartbeat actually
runs and how remote sandbox state is realized and restored.
> - That subsystem previously mixed company-scoped environment catalogs
with issue-level environment stamping, so a reassigned issue could keep
executing in the previous assignee's sandbox.
> - That behavior breaks the control-plane contract: changing the
assignee should change the executing agent/environment path unless there
is an explicit current override.
> - Fixing it cleanly required more than a narrow patch; the environment
model had to move to instance scope with a single inherited default and
per-agent override semantics.
> - This pull request rewires the schema, server/API surface, runtime
resolution, and UI around that model, then adds regression coverage for
cross-company inheritance and per-agent isolation.
> - The benefit is that environment choice now follows the approved
instance/agent configuration path instead of stale issue state, while
shared environments only need to be configured once per instance.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- No directly matching public GitHub issue or PR was found while
searching for this refactor.
### What happened?
Reassigning work between agents with different execution environments
could keep running in the previous sandbox because environment choice
was stamped onto the issue and outranked the current assignee. The same
subsystem also forced environment catalogs to be duplicated per company
even though the underlying execution environments were instance-wide
resources.
### Expected behavior
Execution should resolve through the current instance and agent
configuration path, with one instance-scoped environment catalog, one
instance default, optional per-agent override, and no stale issue-level
environment authority surviving reassignment.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Configure two agents to use different execution environments.
2. Assign an issue to the first agent so the issue records execution
state in that environment.
3. Reassign the same issue to the second agent and run another
heartbeat.
4. Observe that the pre-fix runtime can still sync or execute in the
original sandbox instead of the second agent's environment.
### Paperclip version or commit
Current `master` before this PR.
### Deployment mode
Self-hosted server.
### Installation method
Built from source (`pnpm dev` / `pnpm build`).
### Agent adapter(s) involved
- Claude Code
- Not adapter-specific (core bug in environment authority / resolution)
### Database mode
External Postgres.
### Access context
Both board reassignment and agent heartbeats were involved.
## What Changed
- Moved environments and their default selection contract to instance
scope in DB/shared types, including the migration that dedupes legacy
per-company environments and seeds the instance local default.
- Reworked environment CRUD/auth flows to use instance-scoped APIs and
added route/service coverage for instance-level environment management.
- Changed runtime resolution to prefer `agent default -> instance
default -> built-in local`, removed issue-level environment stamping
from the active execution path, and isolated sandbox/plugin leases by
`(executionWorkspaceId, agentId)`.
- Added environment env-var runtime precedence so environment-provided
values act as the baseline for agent execution.
- Moved the environment UI into instance settings and updated agent
configuration surfaces to reflect inherit/override behavior.
- Added regression coverage for instance-default inheritance across
companies and for the new runtime resolution behavior.
- Fixed a rebase-only duplicate `enableTaskWatchdogs` flag regression in
instance settings types/validators/services so the branch typechecks
cleanly on current `master`.
- Updated stale server tests so CI matches the shipped instance-scoped
environment contract.
## Verification
- `git diff --check`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-runtime-driver-contract.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/agent-permissions-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts

server/src/__tests__/execution-workspace-policy.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-plugin-environment.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts`
## Risks
- The migration changes environment scope and dedupes existing rows, so
installs with unusual legacy environment combinations should be reviewed
carefully during upgrade.
- Remote execution behavior now depends on instance-default inheritance
semantics instead of issue-level stamping, so any remaining code paths
that still assume issue-scoped environment authority would surface as
follow-up bugs.
- This PR includes both server/runtime behavior and UI relocation, so
reviewers should watch for authorization edge cases around instance
settings and environment management.
> I checked [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md). This work fits the existing
Cloud / Sandbox agents direction as a bug-fix/refactor to current
behavior, not a new parallel product surface.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex coding agent in this Paperclip/Codex session; GPT-5-class
tool-using model with code execution and shell access. The exact backend
model ID is not exposed to the session runtime.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task lifecycle and recovery subsystems decide when agent work is
still productive, stalled, or ready for review.
> - Existing recovery paths can observe stopped or incomplete work, but
there was no first-class per-task watchdog model with scoped review
permissions.
> - Watchdog follow-ups also need strict boundaries so
recovery/status-only runs cannot mutate approvals or perform deliverable
work.
> - This pull request adds the task watchdog data model, API/service
layer, scheduler/review flow, adapter wake context, UI configuration
surfaces, and docs.
> - The branch has been rebased onto current `paperclipai/paperclip`
`master`; the watchdog migration is now ordered after master's latest
migrations as `0104_issue_watchdogs`.
> - The benefit is a more explicit task-review loop that preserves
Paperclip's single-assignee and governance invariants while making
stalled work easier to route.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No linked GitHub issue. Paperclip task:
[PAP-11275](/PAP/issues/PAP-11275).
## Problem or motivation
Task recovery needs a first-class watchdog path that can inspect stopped
work and create scoped follow-ups without bypassing normal task
ownership. Board/UI users need a way to configure watchdogs on tasks and
see watchdog-related live work. Recovery/status-only runs must remain
limited to status reporting and must not create approvals, link
approvals, or submit approval comments.
## Proposed solution
Add a task-watchdog data model, scheduler/classifier, scoped mutation
guard, adapter wake context, API/UI configuration surfaces, and
documentation so watchdog agents can review stopped task subtrees under
explicit boundaries.
## Alternatives considered
Reuse the existing recovery-action flow only. That would keep
stopped-work detection implicit, make per-task watchdog assignment
harder to expose in the UI, and would not provide a durable
scoped-review issue for stalled task trees.
## Roadmap alignment
This is Paperclip control-plane lifecycle infrastructure for task
execution and recovery. I checked `ROADMAP.md`; this PR does not
duplicate an existing planned core item.
## What Changed
- Added issue watchdog schema, migration, shared contracts, validators,
CRUD API, and service support.
- Added task watchdog scheduler/classifier behavior, scoped mutation
enforcement, adapter wake context, and default watchdog mandate
guidance.
- Added UI surfaces for configuring watchdogs on new/existing tasks,
viewing watchdog activity, and exposing the experimental setting.
- Added docs for the user-facing task watchdog workflow and
implementation semantics.
- Gated new-task watchdog setup behind `enableTaskWatchdogs` and blocked
cheap status-only recovery runs from approval mutations.
- Rebased onto current `master` and renumbered the idempotent watchdog
migration from the branch-local `0102_issue_watchdogs` slot to
`0104_issue_watchdogs`.
- Addressed Greptile feedback by loading watchdog classifier input with
a recursive subtree query and centralizing the watchdog origin-kind
constant.
- Added and updated focused server/UI tests for watchdog routes,
scheduler/classifier behavior, scope boundaries, live task visibility,
settings, and new issue dialog behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/task-watchdogs-scheduler.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/task-watchdogs-classifier.test.ts`
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/approval-routes-idempotency.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts`
- `pnpm vitest run ui/src/components/NewIssueDialog.test.tsx`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `git diff --check`
- Verified the PR diff does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml` or
`.github/workflows`.
## Risks
- Medium risk: this introduces a new task lifecycle surface touching DB
schema, server routes/services, adapter wake context, and UI task
configuration.
- Watchdog scheduling behavior depends on the new experimental setting
and runtime context checks behaving consistently across local and
production agents.
- The watchdog migration is idempotent (`IF NOT EXISTS` /
duplicate-object guards) so users who tried the previous branch-local
migration number should not get duplicate-object failures.
- CI and the second Greptile pass are pending after the latest
review-fix push.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane teams use to manage AI
agents for work.
> - Company skills are imported from `SKILL.md` files and rely on YAML
frontmatter to describe what each skill does.
> - Multi-line descriptions commonly use YAML block scalars (`>` and
`|`), but the broken parser path behind #4989 reduced those descriptions
to a literal `>` or `|`.
> - The earliest contributor fix for that bug was PR #5046, so this
branch keeps that PR as the canonical merge target instead of replacing
it.
> - Follow-up work from #5071 and #8258 was then transplanted onto this
earlier branch so the final PR preserves contributor credit while still
shipping the strongest complete fix.
> - The resulting change fixes block-scalar parsing in the shared
frontmatter path, aligns server company-skill imports with that shared
parser, and prevents already-stale stored markers from rendering as junk
in the UI.

further in #5071.
- Moved frontmatter parsing to the shared parser path so
`packages/shared`, `packages/skills-catalog`, and server company-skill
imports stay aligned.
- Added UI summary sanitization and fallback handling so stale stored
`>` / `|` values no longer render as visible junk in company-skill
cards.
- Added regression coverage for shared frontmatter parsing,
skills-catalog parsing, company-skill imports, and stale-summary
fallback behavior.
## Verification
- Passed locally: `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/shared/src/frontmatter.test.ts
packages/skills-catalog/src/frontmatter.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-skills.test.ts
ui/src/lib/company-skill-summary.test.ts`
- Passed locally: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck`
- Passed locally: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/skills-catalog typecheck`
- Not fully runnable in this worktree: `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck` currently fails in `packages/plugins/sdk`
before reaching server code because local workspace `node_modules` type
deps are missing (`TS2688` for `node` / `react`).
- GitHub Actions / PR checks are rerunning on PR #5046 head
`005290b7557725abf748d00f36dd24ea0d919aba`.
## Risks
- Medium-low risk: the fix now touches shared parser code, server
company-skill imports, and UI fallback display rather than only the
server import path.
- The parser is still intentionally narrower than a full YAML
implementation; this change focuses on block-scalar correctness and the
stale-description rendering path relevant to #4989 / #2863.
- This branch intentionally supersedes narrower overlapping work from
#5071 and duplicate work from #8258 once the survivor PR is green.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents increasingly depend on reusable skills, so the control plane
needs a first-class way to browse, inspect, install, version, and attach
those skills.
> - The old skills surface was mostly operational plumbing; it did not
give operators a store-like discovery flow, canonical detail URLs, rich
source/version context, or creation paths.
> - The backend also needed stronger contracts around company skill
metadata, versions, install counts, runtime materialization, and adapter
skill preferences.
> - This pull request builds the Skills Store foundation across DB,
shared contracts, server routes/services, UI, and Storybook.
> - The benefit is a more inspectable, operator-friendly skill workflow
that still preserves company-scoped control-plane boundaries and agent
runtime behavior.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No GitHub issue exists for this Paperclip work item. Paperclip task
refs: PAP-10846 and PAP-10921.
Feature request:
Paperclip operators need a single Skills Store experience where company
skills can be discovered, inspected, created, versioned, installed, and
attached to agents without relying on scattered operational screens or
implicit runtime state.
Related PR search:
- Searched GitHub for `Skills Store`, `company skills`, and `skill
detail`.
- Found several open skills-related PRs such as #7809 and #4409, but no
duplicate PR for this end-to-end Skills Store branch.
## What Changed
- Added the Skills Store backend foundation: company skill schema
fields, migrations, shared types/validators, and expanded server skill
routes/services.
- Added skill discovery, category navigation, canonical skill detail
routes, tabs, source attribution, version snapshots/diffs, install count
backfill, and creation flows.
- Updated agent skill preference handling so version selections survive
runtime mention injection and runtime skill materialization honors
pinned versions.
- Preserved unversioned skill assignments as live/current selections
instead of silently pinning them to the current version at assignment
time.
- Added focused regression coverage for company skill routes/services,
route helpers, UI behavior, skill version diffs, and runtime skill
version pins.
- Added Storybook coverage for Skills Store discovery/detail states and
updated the main layout navigation.
- Addressed Greptile findings around version creation races,
soft-deleted comments, fork metadata scoping, GitHub skill directory
fallback, runtime snapshot materialization, shared runtime
skill-selection helpers, and version-assignment semantics.

Not run in this heartbeat:
- Browser screenshot capture for the UI changes. This PR intentionally
omits screenshots per the Paperclip task direction not to add design
screenshots/images.
## Risks
- Broad feature branch touching DB, shared contracts, server, and UI;
reviewers should still scan merge conflicts carefully if `master` moves
again before landing.
- Skill version/runtime behavior is sensitive: pinned skill versions
must stay pinned while default selections should continue following the
current version.
- UI polish should get normal reviewer/browser attention before merge
because this PR includes a large Skills Store surface and screenshots
were intentionally omitted.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The execution subsystem runs those agents in environments (local,
ssh, sandbox), and sandbox-provider plugins let an environment
materialize per-run sandboxes
> - Stage 1 (#5790) contributed a first-party Kubernetes
sandbox-provider plugin, but the server core has no way to adopt it
operationally: no per-run adapter selection, no way to force an instance
onto sandboxed execution, no declarative adapter/model configuration,
and the plugin must be installed by hand
> - Without this, a multi-tenant or security-conscious deployment cannot
guarantee that agent runs never execute on the host, and a single
environment cannot serve agents with different harnesses
> - This pull request adds the server + SDK integration: per-run
adapterType on the lease protocol, an env-gated forced-Kubernetes
execution policy with provisioning and a per-run allowlist guard, a
declarative adapter registry and model list, in-cluster env passthrough
for sandbox plugin workers, fail-safe auto-install of the bundled
plugin, and the matching UI affordance
> - The benefit is that sandbox-provider plugins become fully usable for
Kubernetes execution: operators configure everything via environment
variables and GitOps, while self-hosters who set none of the variables
see exactly the behavior they have today
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #5790 (stage 1 of 3: the Kubernetes sandbox-provider plugin
package).
No existing issue. Feature description: the server core lacks the
integration seams to operate a sandbox-provider plugin as the mandatory
execution path of an instance. This PR is stage 2 of 3 of the staged
Kubernetes contribution; stage 3 will contribute the agent runtime
images and their build pipeline.
## What Changed
One line per piece:
- `packages/plugins/sdk/protocol.ts`: optional `adapterType` on
`PluginEnvironmentAcquireLeaseParams` so a provider can select the
runtime image per run; existing providers simply ignore it
- `server/services/environment-runtime.ts` +
`environment-run-orchestrator.ts`: thread the agent's adapter type into
both lease-acquiring drivers, including the heartbeat path (the two call
sites have historically drifted, hence the pinned test)
- `server/services/environments.ts`: `ensureKubernetesEnvironment` /
`findKubernetesEnvironment`, an idempotent managed Kubernetes
environment per company, identified by a metadata marker and refreshed
(not recreated) on config change; `timeoutMs` rides on the config for
slow cold-start leases
- `server/services/execution-allowlist.ts`: pure (driver, provider,
policy) -> allow/deny guard; `executionMode=kubernetes` only allows the
kubernetes sandbox provider
- `server/services/execution-policy-bootstrap.ts` + startup hook in
`server/index.ts`: parse `PAPERCLIP_EXECUTION_MODE` / `PAPERCLIP_K8S_*`,
persist `executionMode` into instance general settings, and provision
the managed environment for every company; fails loud on
misconfiguration
- `server/services/heartbeat.ts`: when the policy forces Kubernetes, pin
run selection to the managed environment (also overriding any persisted
workspace environment id), refuse to fall back to local, and re-check
the actually acquired environment against the allowlist as defense in
depth
- `server/services/adapter-registry-bootstrap.ts` + shared
`AdapterRegistryEntry` type/validator: declarative `PAPERCLIP_ADAPTERS`
registry (inline JSON or file) that reconciles adapter availability at
startup and rides on the Kubernetes environment config
- `server/services/adapter-models-env.ts` + `adapters/registry.ts`:
`PAPERCLIP_ADAPTER_MODELS` lets an operator declare picker model lists
the server cannot CLI-discover
- `server/services/plugin-loader.ts`: pass
`KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST/PORT(_HTTPS)` through to plugin workers that
register environment drivers, so in-cluster API clients can be
constructed; all other host env stays stripped
- `server/app.ts`: fail-safe auto-install of the bundled kubernetes
plugin at boot; no-ops when the bundle is absent and never blocks
startup on error
- `packages/shared` types/validators: `InstanceExecutionMode` on general
settings (optional, strict schema)
- `ui/lib/forced-kubernetes-environment.ts` + `AgentConfigForm`: when
the policy is active, show a read-only Kubernetes environment instead of
the environment picker and default new agents onto the managed
environment
- Tests for every new module plus the adapterType pin in
`heartbeat-plugin-environment` and the managed-environment lifecycle in
`environment-service`
Everything is gated: with `PAPERCLIP_EXECUTION_MODE`,
`PAPERCLIP_ADAPTERS`, and `PAPERCLIP_ADAPTER_MODELS` unset (and no
bundled plugin present), every code path reduces to current behavior.
The per-run `adapterType` is an optional SDK parameter that existing
providers ignore.
## Verification
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit`: clean (0 errors); `ui` typecheck also
clean
- Targeted suites all green (11 files, 90 tests): `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-plugin-environment.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-runtime.test.ts

server/src/services/adapter-registry-bootstrap.reconcile.test.ts
server/src/services/adapter-models-env.test.ts
packages/shared/src/validators/adapter-registry.test.ts`
- `npx vitest run ui/src/components/AgentConfigForm.test.ts`: green (6
tests)
- Full `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__`: 2323 passed, 1 skipped;
the only failures (heartbeat-process-recovery pid-retry,
workspace-runtime symbolic-ref/git tests) reproduce identically on
pristine `master` in the same environment, so they are
machine-environment issues unrelated to this change;
`server-startup-feedback-export` needed its `services/index.js` mock
extended with the new export and is green
- This integration has been running in production on a hosted
multi-tenant deployment, where it executes agent runs across five
different harnesses through the stage 1 plugin
## Risks
- Low for existing deployments: every behavior is env-gated and the
defaults preserve current semantics; the auto-install block is wrapped
fail-safe and skips silently when the plugin bundle is absent
- `executionMode` is a new optional field on a strict zod schema; absent
input normalizes exactly as before
- The forced policy intentionally fails runs loudly (rather than falling
back to local) when no managed Kubernetes environment exists; this only
affects instances that explicitly set
`PAPERCLIP_EXECUTION_MODE=kubernetes`
## Model Used
Claude Opus 4.8 (claude-opus-4-8, 1M context), extended thinking,
agentic tool use via Claude Code.
## UI screenshots
The UI change is a new read-only "Execution" section in
`AgentConfigForm`, shown only when the instance execution policy forces
Kubernetes (`executionMode=kubernetes`); there is no "before" state for
it (the section did not exist, and instances without the forced policy
render the existing picker unchanged). Captured from the new Storybook
stories added in this PR (`Product/Agent Management`):
Managed Kubernetes environment present (read-only display, no local/SSH
picker):
No managed environment available yet (warning notice, no silent local
fallback):

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The issue thread is the operator surface where comments, assignee
changes, pauses, resumes, and wakeups turn human intent into agent
execution.
> - Interrupting a live run and handing work to another assignee needs
clear semantics so the product does not accidentally keep work alive,
wake the wrong participant, or hide why an agent stopped.
> - Comment-driven wakes also need strict boundaries so closed, blocked,
and dependency-driven work only resumes when there is real actionable
input.
> - This pull request codifies the interrupt handoff contract,
implements backend scheduling behavior, and gives the UI clearer
handoff/pause language.
> - The benefit is a more inspectable and predictable task lifecycle for
both operators and agents.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Paperclip issue: `PAP-10664` / `PAP-10751`.
Problem: interrupting or reassigning live agent work could be ambiguous
in the UI and backend. Operators needed clearer feedback about whether a
handoff wakes an agent, what pause/cancel affects, and when comments
should revive execution. The backend also needed stronger tests around
comment wake boundaries, retry supersession, and structured agent
mention dispatch.
Related GitHub PR search found broad workflow-adjacent PRs #5082, #6359,
and #4083, but no exact duplicate for this head branch or
interrupt-handoff scope.
## What Changed
- Added an interrupt handoff semantics document covering destination
behavior, wake expectations, and live-run interruption states.
- Implemented backend interrupt handoff behavior and comment wake/reopen
handling in issue routes/services and heartbeat scheduling.
- Hardened structured agent mention dispatch so mentions resolve through
the intended dispatch path.
- Added UI helpers and components for handoff chips, wake rows,
interrupt banners, pause-affects summaries, and composer guidance.
- Updated the issue properties assignee picker and issue chat/composer
surfaces to make interrupt/reassign behavior clearer.
- Added backend, UI utility, component, and Storybook coverage for the
new behavior.
- Stabilized the new UI component tests with a local `flushSync`-backed
act helper matching existing repo practice in this dependency set.
- Addressed Greptile feedback by threading historical run `errorCode`
through issue-run data and operator-interrupted chat labels.
- Addressed Greptile's cancel ordering concern by terminating/deleting
in-memory heartbeat processes before cancellation status persistence,
with regression coverage for DB update failure.

## Risks
- Medium: changes touch issue comments, wake scheduling, and live-run

- The branch was created before the latest `origin/master` commits;
reviewers should confirm CI merge-base behavior and resolve any merge
conflicts if GitHub reports them.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #7848
Feature follow-up: polish the routines UI after the Variation C
routine-detail shell landed.
Problem / motivation:
- Routine trigger configuration needs clearer previews for manual,
schedule, API, and webhook execution modes.
- Routine detail sections need better responsive spacing and touch
ergonomics.
- The routines list grouping should scan like grouped records instead of
a table with heavy row dividers.
- The routine tests need a React 19-compatible render helper so the
focused routine suite can run in this workspace.
Proposed solution:
- Add cron-fire preview helpers and routine-run display helpers with
focused tests.
- Expand the routine editable and operate sections with richer trigger,
variable, run, activity, and history presentation.
- Adjust the routine detail shell and sub-sidebar spacing for
mobile/touch layout.
- Update grouped routine list presentation to use bordered group headers
with borderless rows.
- Switch affected routine tests to the repo's `flushSync` render-helper
pattern.
Alternatives considered:
- Leaving the duplicate pre-#7848 commits in the branch would recreate
conflicts and make the PR review much larger than the remaining change.
- Keeping grouped routine rows inside one bordered table was simpler,
but made the grouping hierarchy less legible.
Roadmap alignment:
- ROADMAP.md lists Scheduled Routines as a core shipped capability and
Output/Enforced Outcomes as ongoing priorities. This is polish on that
existing routines capability, not a new roadmap-level feature.
## What Changed
- Added routine scheduling preview helpers and tests for
cron/manual/API/webhook fire-policy display.
- Added routine run display helpers and tests for deduped trigger labels
and run-row subtitles.
- Polished routine detail sections, including trigger summaries, operate
views, and env/variable editing ergonomics.
- Adjusted routine detail page and sub-sidebar spacing so the
title/header area is less pinned and touch layouts center better.
- Reworked the routines list grouped layout so group headers are
bordered cards and routine rows are borderless inside each group.
- Added Storybook coverage for the routines list grouped layout and
updated the existing routine detail story.
- Repaired routine tests to use `flushSync` helpers compatible with the
installed React 19 runtime.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/lib/cron-fires.test.ts
ui/src/lib/routine-run-display.test.ts ui/src/pages/Routines.test.tsx
ui/src/components/RoutineSubSidebar.test.tsx
ui/src/components/RoutineSaveBar.test.tsx`
- Result: 5 test files passed, 37 tests passed.
- Confirmed the rebased PR diff does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml`,
`.github/workflows/*`, or committed screenshots.
- Confirmed `origin/master` is an ancestor of the pushed branch head
after rebase.
## Risks
- Medium UI risk: this touches the routine detail and routine list
surfaces, so visual regressions are possible in edge cases not covered
by the focused tests.
- Low data risk: no schema, migration, server API, or lockfile changes
are included.
- Review note: the branch intentionally force-pushed after rebasing
because the original first three commits were already merged through
#7848.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent work is issue-centered, and reviewers often need to inspect
files, artifacts, and path references produced during that work.
> - Before this branch, workspace-relative paths and artifact file
references were not first-class inspectable objects in the board UI.
> - Safe file viewing needs shared resource contracts, server-side
workspace boundary checks, and UI that opens files without exposing
arbitrary host paths.
> - The workspace file viewer branch needed to stay as one active PR and
be rebased onto current `paperclipai/paperclip:master` for review.
> - This pull request adds the workspace file resource API, issue-page
file viewer and browser, markdown file-reference links, and artifact
file chips.
> - The benefit is that board users can inspect relevant files from
issue context while preserving workspace boundaries and auditability.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this branch. Internal Paperclip
issues: `PAP-1953`, `PAP-10539`, `PAP-10733`.
Problem / motivation:
- Board users need to open workspace-relative files mentioned by agents
or attached as work-product metadata without switching to a terminal.
- The UI needs to support both direct file-path opening and workspace
browsing/searching from an issue page.
- The server must enforce company access, workspace boundaries, size
limits, rate limits, and safe audit logging.
Related PR:
- Prior closed attempt: #4442
- Single active PR for this branch: #7681
## What Changed
- Added shared workspace file resource types, validators, and
workspace-file `resourceRef` metadata validation for work products.
- Added server routes/services for resolving, listing, and previewing
workspace-relative files with access checks, scan caps, list-specific
limits, and audit logging.
- Added the issue file viewer provider, sheet, workspace browser,
command-palette action, markdown workspace-file autolinks, and artifact
file chips.
- Updated issue workspace UI and stories/tests for file browsing and
workspace file opening.
- Rebased the branch onto current `paperclipai/paperclip:master` and
updated the existing single PR branch.
- Addressed current-head Greptile follow-ups by applying `offset`
consistently across search/recent/changed file listings, restoring
stopped-service port ownership checks before auto-port reuse, and
stabilizing the workspace browser pagination test.
## Verification
Current local verification after rebase to `public/master`:
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/work-product.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/file-resources.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts
ui/src/components/FileViewerSheet.test.tsx
ui/src/components/FileViewerSheet.copy.test.tsx
ui/src/components/WorkspaceFileBrowser.test.tsx
ui/src/components/WorkspaceFileMarkdownBody.test.tsx
ui/src/context/FileViewerContext.test.ts
ui/src/lib/remark-workspace-file-refs.test.ts
ui/src/lib/workspace-file-parser.test.ts
ui/src/components/IssueWorkspaceCard.test.tsx` - 13 files passed, 197
tests passed.
- `pnpm -r --filter @paperclipai/shared --filter @paperclipai/server
--filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` - passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/WorkspaceFileBrowser.test.tsx`
- 1 file passed, 25 tests passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/file-resources.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts` - 2 files passed, 90
tests passed.
- `pnpm -r --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` - passed.
- Confirmed branch is `0` behind and `46` ahead of current
`public/master` after rebase and follow-up commits.
- Confirmed the PR diff does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml`.
- Confirmed the PR diff does not include `.github/workflows` changes.
- Searched GitHub for duplicate or related workspace file viewer
PRs/issues; #4442 is the prior closed attempt and this PR is the single
active PR for the branch.
- No screenshots were committed; the task explicitly asked not to add
design screenshots or images unless they were part of the work.
Current remote verification on head
`a698a7bc10137baf7d25bd5722e1d6e0343387c1`:
- Greptile Review - success, 64 files reviewed, 0 comments added, no
unresolved Greptile review threads.
- PR workflow `verify` - success.
- Typecheck + Release Registry, General tests, workspace test shards,
serialized server suites, Build, Canary Dry Run, e2e, Socket, and Snyk -
success.
- `security-review` - neutral, with output saying a draft advisory was
filed for maintainer review and is not a merge block.
- `commitperclip PR Review / review` - cancelled after the security gate
detected flags and timed out while creating/reviewing the advisory. I
reran it once and it cancelled the same way; no actionable code/test
failure was exposed in the job logs.
## Risks
- This is a broad UI/server feature PR, so review needs to pay attention
to route authorization, workspace boundary handling, and markdown
autolink false positives.
- Workspace browsing intentionally caps list results and scan depth;
very large workspaces may require users to refine search terms.
- Remote workspace preview remains unavailable until remote file-access
support is implemented.
- The neutral commitperclip security-review advisory needs maintainer
review, but the check output says it is not a merge block.

## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 coding agent in a Paperclip/Codex local tool-use
environment, medium reasoning, with shell/GitHub CLI tool use for branch
inspection, verification, rebase, PR update, Greptile review, and CI
inspection.

## Summary
Rebuilds the routine detail page as **variation C** — a sub-sidebar
shell that splits the page into **ROUTINE** (Overview · Triggers ·
Variables · Secrets · Delivery) and **OPERATE** (Runs · Activity ·
History), per the engineering spec on PAP-10730. Replaces the previous
5-tab `?tab=…` layout in `ui/src/pages/RoutineDetail.tsx`.
Implements PAP-10732. Design source of truth: PAP-10730 `spec` document;
approved direction PAP-10709.
## What changed
- **Routing** (`ui/src/App.tsx`): real sub-routes under
`routines/:routineId/:section`. Bare `/routines/:id` redirects to the
last-viewed section (`localStorage`) or `overview`; old `?tab=…` URLs
redirect to the matching section for back-compat. Every section URL is
bookmarkable.
- **Shell** (`RoutineDetail.tsx`): slim 56px sticky header (title +
managed-by-plugin chip + Run / Active toggle), page-local sub-sidebar,
full-canvas section body, per-section sticky save bar. All routine
state/mutations stay in the shell and flow to sections via a
`RoutineDetailContext`.
- **New components**: `RoutineSubSidebar` (+ mobile `<Select>` picker,
roving keyboard nav), `RoutineSaveBar` (scoped dirty count, ⌘/Ctrl+S
save, Esc-discard confirm, 409 conflict recovery with Reload /
Overwrite), `RadioCard` primitive (Delivery), `RoutineTriggerCard`
(extracted from the inline editor, with human-readable cron),
`RoutineActivityRow` (expandable JSON), `lib/cron-readable`, and the
per-section components.
- **Reuse**: History mounts the existing `RoutineHistoryTab`; Variables
mounts `RoutineVariablesEditor` with a provenance banner; Secrets reuses
`EnvVarEditor` + the one-time reveal banner. No backend or schema
changes.
- **States**: per-section loading/empty/error/save-conflict and
read-only strip scaffolding (§1.6).
## Testing
- New unit tests: sub-sidebar navigation/active/dirty markers, save-bar
dirty + ⌘S + conflict recovery, cron helper.
- Existing routine tests still pass: `Routines.test.tsx`,
`RoutineHistoryTab.test.tsx`, `RoutineRunVariablesDialog.test.tsx`.
- `vitest run` (routine scope): **36 passed**. Production `vite build`:
**green**.
- Screenshots at 1440×900 + 390×844 attached to
[PAP-10732](https://example.invalid) (rendered via a new Storybook story
with fixture data).
## Out of scope (per spec)
- `/routines` list-page redo (follow-up).
- Non-owner secret-value visibility (Open Q6 — CEO escalation; built
with the spec default).

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage AI
agents, work, and company context.
> - The board UI sidebar is the main way operators keep orientation
across companies, projects, agents, issues, and settings.
> - The existing fixed expanded sidebar competes with route-specific
navigation, especially company settings and plugin routes that bring
their own contextual sidebar.
> - A collapsible primary rail preserves global navigation while giving
contextual pages more horizontal room.
> - This pull request adds a persisted collapsed rail, hover/focus peek,
keyboard toggle, and a secondary sidebar takeover model for settings and
plugin `routeSidebar` surfaces.
> - The benefit is a denser board shell that keeps the app rail
available without replacing it when a route needs its own navigation.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Paperclip issue: PAP-10638 Create collapsible sidebar branch.
Related GitHub PR found during duplicate search: #3838
(`feat/collapsible-sidebar`) covers a similar sidebar area but is a
different head branch and implementation. This PR intentionally packages
the work from `PAP-10638-collapsable-sidebar` into one reviewable
branch.
Problem description:
The board shell needs a first-class collapsed sidebar mode. Contextual
surfaces such as company settings and plugin route sidebars should not
replace the global app sidebar; they should collapse the app sidebar to
a rail and render their contextual navigation beside it.
## What Changed
- Added desktop collapsed/sidebar-peek state to `SidebarContext`,
including persisted user pins, route collapse requests, and forced
collapse for secondary-sidebar routes.
- Replaced the old resizable sidebar pane with `SidebarShell`, which
supports a fixed 64px rail, persisted expanded width, keyboard/pointer
resizing, and hover/focus peek overlay behavior.
- Updated `Sidebar`, sidebar nav items, project/agent sections, badges,
and account/company menu presentation for expanded, collapsed, and
peeking states.
- Added `RequestCollapsedSidebar` and `SecondarySidebar` so routes and
plugin `routeSidebar` slots can request contextual sidebar layouts
without replacing the primary app sidebar.
- Wired company settings and plugin route sidebars into the
secondary-pane takeover model.
- Added focused Vitest coverage for sidebar state precedence, shell
sizing, nav item rail rendering, keyboard shortcuts, layout takeover
behavior, and route collapse requests.
- Updated plugin authoring docs/spec references for route sidebar
behavior.
## Verification
Targeted local verification passed:
```sh
NODE_ENV=test pnpm run preflight:workspace-links && NODE_ENV=test pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/context/SidebarContext.test.tsx ui/src/components/SidebarShell.test.tsx ui/src/components/Sidebar.test.tsx ui/src/components/Layout.test.tsx ui/src/components/RequestCollapsedSidebar.test.tsx ui/src/components/SidebarNavItem.test.tsx ui/src/components/SidebarAgents.test.tsx ui/src/components/SidebarProjects.test.tsx ui/src/components/KeyboardShortcutsCheatsheet.test.tsx ui/src/hooks/useKeyboardShortcuts.test.tsx
```
Result: 10 test files passed, 88 tests passed.
Additional follow-up verification passed after review fixes:
```sh
NODE_ENV=test pnpm run preflight:workspace-links && NODE_ENV=test pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/Layout.test.tsx ui/src/context/SidebarContext.test.tsx && pnpm --filter /ui typecheck
```
Result: 2 test files passed, 28 tests passed, and UI typecheck passed.
Latest PR-head remote checks: Paperclip PR workflow, Snyk, Socket, and
Greptile are green; commitperclip `review` is cancelled in its
security-gate step after filing a non-blocking neutral `security-review`
check.
Notes:
- A direct run without `NODE_ENV=test` loads React's production build in
this workspace, where `act` is unavailable; the command above matches
the repo stable runner's test environment.
- I did not run Playwright/browser e2e or full workspace build/typecheck
in this PR-creation heartbeat.
- QA screenshots are attached in
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/7824#issuecomment-4661968387
for expanded, collapsed rail, hover peek, and settings secondary-sidebar
states.
## Risks
- Medium UI layout risk: this changes the board shell and primary
sidebar composition across many routes.
- Local storage migration risk is low: new collapsed state uses a new
key and existing width storage remains scoped to the sidebar width.
- Plugin route risk: plugin `routeSidebar` slots now render as secondary
panes on desktop, so plugin authors should confirm their route sidebar
content fits a 240px contextual pane.
- Mobile risk appears low because mobile keeps the drawer model and
gates collapsed/peek behavior to desktop.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Operators manage both company-scoped configuration and
instance-level runtime/admin settings from the board UI
> - Instance settings previously lived as their own top-level sidebar
area, separate from the company settings context operators already use
> - That split made settings navigation feel heavier and made instance
configuration less discoverable from the settings tab
> - This pull request moves instance settings under company settings
while preserving the existing instance settings routes and plugin/admin
surfaces
> - The benefit is a smaller primary sidebar and a more coherent
settings hierarchy for operators
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Refs #338
- Internal: PAP-10491, PAP-10538
## What Changed
- Moved instance settings navigation under the company settings area.
- Added route helpers and sidebar entries for nested instance settings
paths.
- Updated plugin/admin settings routes to use the company settings
instance scope.
- Preserved legacy instance-settings bookmarks through compatibility
redirects that keep the active company prefix.
- Updated focused UI and plugin tests for the new navigation shape.
- Stabilized the process-loss retry test that was failing the serialized
server shard in CI.
- Rebased the branch onto current `paperclipai/paperclip` `master` and
pushed the current head.

tests (server)`, all serialized server shards, build, e2e, policy,
security checks, and Greptile.
- Confirmed the PR diff does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml` or
`.github/workflows` changes.
## Risks
- Medium UI/navigation risk: instance settings links are intentionally
moving under company settings, so stale external bookmarks to legacy
paths rely on the compatibility routing in this branch.
- Low test-only risk from the CI stabilization commit: it makes the
recovery assertion select the actual retry run by `retryOfRunId` instead
of whichever non-original run appears first.
- No database migrations.
- No dependency lockfile or workflow changes.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The artifacts surface is where board users inspect files, media, and
documents produced by agents.
> - Grouped artifact stacks make that surface easier to scan by task,
but the first pass still made grouping feel secondary to media filters.
> - The follow-up request was to make grouping the default and give the
grouping control the same icon-only outline treatment used on the issues
page.
> - This pull request keeps the existing artifact grouping API/UI, then
polishes the artifacts toolbar state and Storybook review coverage.
> - The benefit is that `/artifacts` now opens in the task-stack view by
default while preserving explicit flat-mode filtering via
`groupBy=none`.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this internal Paperclip task.
### Subsystem affected
ui/ — React + Vite board UI.
### Problem or motivation
The `/artifacts` grouping affordance was visually placed after the media
filters, rendered as a text button, and defaulted to a flat artifact
list. Internal follow-up `PAP-10465` requested the grouping icon move
left of the filters, become an icon-only outlined button like `/issues`,
and make Task grouping the default.
### Proposed solution
Default `/artifacts` to grouped Task stacks, keep explicit flat mode
available as `groupBy=none`, move the grouping control before the media
chips, and restyle it as the shared icon-only outline button pattern.
### Alternatives considered
Leaving flat mode as the implicit default was rejected because it does
not satisfy the follow-up. Keeping a text label on the grouping trigger
was rejected because `/issues` already established the icon-only outline
pattern for this class of toolbar control.
### Roadmap alignment
This aligns with the `Artifacts & Work Products` roadmap item by making
generated outputs easier to inspect and operate from the board UI.
## What Changed
- Defaulted the `/artifacts` page to `groupBy=task` when no grouping URL
param is present, while keeping explicit flat mode available with
`groupBy=none`.
- Moved the group control before the media filter chips and changed it
to an icon-only outlined button using the shared `Button` pattern.
- Updated artifact page tests to cover default Task grouping, explicit
flat mode, trigger ordering, and icon-only outline metadata.
- Updated the artifact Storybook story so its toolbar mock matches the
production ordering and grouped Task is documented as the default mode.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/pages/Artifacts.test.tsx
ui/src/components/artifacts/ArtifactGroupCard.test.tsx` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
- QA visual validation from internal follow-up PAP-10466 passed
desktop/mobile scenarios. Screenshot evidence attached there:
- Desktop default:
http://paperclip-dev:3100/api/attachments/bc81305d-f5de-485c-abeb-9e7c3d9d8539/content
- Desktop toolbar close-up:
http://paperclip-dev:3100/api/attachments/3375a62b-2110-48f3-bafa-ea98c00f99f7/content
- Mobile default:
http://paperclip-dev:3100/api/attachments/bfc5642e-9248-431e-9bac-36284dec1c89/content
- Mobile toolbar close-up:
http://paperclip-dev:3100/api/attachments/ca79401a-5ba8-464d-bc6e-aeffd47fe695/content
- GitHub PR checks on head `431964c8b` — passed, including Greptile 5/5.
## Risks
Low to medium risk. The main behavior shift is intentional: `/artifacts`
now queries grouped Task stacks by default. Existing flat mode remains
available through the grouping menu and explicit `groupBy=none` URLs.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5.4 class coding model in this Paperclip heartbeat
environment, with shell, git, test, and GitHub CLI tool use. Context
window managed by the Codex runtime.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The affected subsystem is the heartbeat execution path that turns
issue assignment into adapter-backed work in a selected workspace.
> - PAP-10409 and sibling follow-ups failed before useful adapter output
because project/workspace identity became incoherent.
> - A project-workspace-linked child issue could keep
`projectWorkspaceId` / execution workspace state while losing
`projectId`, then a git-sensitive local adapter could fall through
toward an invalid fallback cwd.
> - Paperclip needs to treat coherent workspace identity as part of the
live-path contract, not only as post-failure cleanup.
> - This pull request documents that rule, repairs issue inheritance,
and blocks git-sensitive adapter launch before it can run from the wrong
cwd.
> - The benefit is a bounded recovery path: affected issues are repaired
explicitly, future malformed workspaces fail fast with a clear recovery
action, and the UI surfaces that reason.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #7646
Bug report fields:
- Summary: adapter-backed follow-up issues can fail before doing work
when issue creation/inheritance preserves workspace ids but drops
project identity.
- Affected issues: internal Paperclip issues PAP-10408 through
PAP-10412, especially PAP-10409.
- Steps to reproduce: create a project-scoped parent/follow-up tree
where a child issue keeps `projectWorkspaceId` or an inherited execution
workspace but has `projectId: null`, then launch a git-sensitive local
adapter such as `codex_local`.
- Expected behavior: Paperclip derives or preserves coherent project
identity during issue creation, and heartbeat refuses malformed
git-sensitive workspace launches with one clear recovery action.
- Actual behavior before this PR: the run could reach adapter bootstrap
with an incoherent workspace context and fail with git errors such as
`fatal: not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /srv)`.
- Root cause: child/follow-up issue inheritance preserved workspace
execution context without coherent project context. That let heartbeat
workspace resolution/adapter launch reach a fallback cwd instead of
refusing the malformed workspace state up front.
## What Changed
- Documented the adapter workspace-coherence live-path precondition in
`doc/execution-semantics.md`.
- Updated issue creation/inheritance so workspace-inheriting issues
preserve or derive project identity, while existing mismatch validation
still rejects incoherent project/workspace combinations.
- Added a heartbeat preflight guard for git-sensitive local adapters
that validates effective cwd, persisted workspace identity, project
workspace identity, and required git metadata before launch.
- Added `workspace_validation` recovery actions for this failure class
and ensured the source issue gets a visible, idempotent recovery
comment.
- Surfaced workspace-validation recovery state in issue rows, blocked
notices, and recovery action cards, including the manual-repair wake
policy label.
- Added focused regression coverage for issue inheritance, all heartbeat
workspace-validation guard branches, recovery display helpers, and UI
recovery components.

- Result: 7 test files passed, 200 tests passed before the final
guard-branch additions; the changed server file was re-run above.
- UI coverage: `ui/storybook/stories/source-issue-recovery.stories.tsx`
contains rendered scenarios for the generic recovery chip,
workspace-validation recovery chip, blocked notice indicator, recovery
action card, and issue-row chip.
- Screenshot capture attempt: Storybook started successfully on
`http://127.0.0.1:6016/`, but screenshots could not be captured in this
runner because `agent-browser` launched an unusable Chrome binary and
Playwright Chromium failed on missing system library `libatk-1.0.so.0`;
the runner is non-root and lacks passwordless sudo for installing
browser dependencies.
- Hosted CI on final commit `969594e7` is green, including `verify`,
`Build`, `Typecheck + Release Registry`, `General tests (server)`,
workspace suites, serialized server suites, `Canary Dry Run`, and `e2e`.
- Roadmap checked: no duplicate roadmap item; this is a tightly scoped
reliability fix for existing heartbeat/workspace behavior.
- Duplicate PR search checked: no open PR matched `workspace coherence
adapter cwd`.
## Risks
- Medium risk: heartbeat launch is stricter for git-sensitive local
adapters and can now block malformed workspace states before adapter
execution.
- Mitigation: the guard is limited to local git-sensitive adapters and
records a source-scoped recovery action with structured evidence instead
of retrying indefinitely.
- Compatibility: valid project/workspace execution paths continue
normally; explicit project/workspace mismatches remain rejected.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The board UI is the control surface for issues, projects, agents,
goals, workspaces, and operator settings.
> - The existing navigation and list surfaces make several
high-frequency workflows feel harder to scan than they should,
especially around projects and agents.
> - The product direction is to improve those surfaces without breaking
the existing route model or forcing a new IA on every operator at once.
> - This pull request now keeps the dependent IA, project identity, and
agent-list visual refresh work together while the Issue-to-Task copy
migration is split into #7651.
> - The benefit is a clearer left nav, better project identity, denser
agent/project list rows, and brand-aligned status treatment while
preserving the classic default experience behind a flag.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #7645
Refs #7651
Internal planning/work references: PAP-53, PAP-56, PAP-58, PAP-59,
PAP-60, PAP-61, PAP-68, PAP-69, PAP-70, PAP-71, PAP-72, PAP-75, PAP-76,
PAP-80, PAP-85, PAP-86, PAP-87, PAP-88, PAP-89.
## What Changed
- Adds `enableStreamlinedLeftNavigation`, defaulting off, and gates
sidebar presentation so classic navigation remains the default.
- Adds project icon persistence, validation, portability, picker UI, and
`ProjectTile` rendering while defaulting new projects to neutral gray.
- Adds projects-list task-count and budget summary data with focused
server/shared/UI coverage.
- Refreshes agent list rows, row actions, active/recent sidebar
behavior, and status capsule/chip styling for the approved brand state
system.
- Removes the placeholder Conference room and Artifacts nav/routes from
the finalized experimental nav direction.
- Removes `pnpm-lock.yaml` and the Issue-to-Task copy migration from
this PR diff; the copy migration now lives in #7651.
## Verification
- Existing branch verification from the authored commits: UI typecheck,
targeted unit tests, and light/dark visual checks for `/agents`, agent
detail, and design-guide status states.
- Maintainer cleanup verification on `75e34e5`: `git diff --check
origin/master...HEAD` passed, the `design/` diff is empty, and the PR
diff is 61 files, below Greptile's 100-file review limit.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` passed.
- `NODE_ENV=test pnpm exec vitest run
ui/src/components/Sidebar.test.tsx` passed: 1 file, 8 tests.
- CI and Greptile should rerun on the latest push.
## Risks
- Broad UI surface area: the experimental flag keeps the classic nav
default, but changed shared components such as `EntityRow`,
`ProjectTile`, and agent status badges could affect multiple pages.
- Database migration: `projects.icon` is additive and nullable, but
migration ordering and portability import/export must stay aligned.
- The Issue-to-Task copy migration is now separated into #7651, so
reviewers should evaluate this PR as IA/project/agent presentation work
only.
- Visual regressions are possible across smaller widths because the PR
intentionally changes dense list-row layouts.
## Model Used
Claude Opus 4.8 assisted the original feature commits.
Paperclip-Paperclip agents assisted some planning/design commits. Codex
/ GPT-5-class coding agent with shell, GitHub CLI, and repository access
performed this PR-readiness cleanup and split.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent work is coordinated through issues, comments, interactions,
and approval-style handoffs.
> - Existing issue-thread interactions could ask questions, suggest
tasks, and request confirmation, but they did not support a structured
checkbox confirmation payload for choosing one or more options.
> - That gap made board/user confirmations harder to validate
consistently across API callers, plugin helpers, CLI tooling, and the
UI.
> - This pull request adds the shared checkbox confirmation contract,
server handling, client helpers, and issue-thread UI needed to render
and submit structured selections.
> - The benefit is that agents can request bounded multi-select
confirmations in the same audited issue-thread flow as other Paperclip
interactions.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- No public GitHub issue found for this exact branch. Internal Paperclip
issue: PAP-10415 / PAP-10441 requested creating this PR for the checkbox
confirmation issue-thread UI component work.
- GitHub duplicate search performed for checkbox confirmation /
issue-thread interaction PRs; no matching open PR was found.
- Related issue search result `#7497` was unrelated company file cleanup
work, so it is not linked as a related issue.
## What Changed
- Added shared types, validators, constants, and tests for
`request_checkbox_confirmation` interactions.
- Extended server issue-thread interaction service and routes for
checkbox confirmation creation, validation, expiration, and response
handling.
- Added CLI, MCP, and plugin SDK helper coverage so external callers can
create the new interaction shape consistently.
- Updated the issue-thread interaction UI to render checkbox
confirmations with min/max bounds, selection summaries, stale-target
states, and accept/decline flows.
- Documented the checkbox confirmation interaction contract in the
Paperclip skill/API reference.
## Verification
- Rebased cleanly on `paperclipai/paperclip` `master` fetched into
`public-gh/master` at `a4fa0eaf5`.
- Confirmed the PR diff does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml` or
`.github/workflows` changes.
- Ran focused tests with `NODE_ENV=test`:
```sh
NODE_ENV=test pnpm run preflight:workspace-links
NODE_ENV=test pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/issue-thread-interactions.test.ts server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interaction-routes.test.ts server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interactions-service.test.ts ui/src/components/IssueThreadInteractionCard.test.tsx ui/src/lib/issue-thread-interactions.test.ts cli/src/__tests__/issue-subresources.test.ts cli/src/__tests__/project-goal.test.ts packages/mcp-server/src/tools.test.ts packages/plugins/sdk/tests/testing-actions.test.ts
```
Result: 8 test files passed, 78 tests passed.
- CI on latest head `63b9e55` is green.
- Greptile Review passed on latest head; GraphQL review-thread check
shows all Greptile threads resolved.
## Risks
- Medium surface area because the interaction contract touches shared
validators, server routes/services, UI rendering, CLI, MCP, plugin SDK
helpers, and docs.
- No database migrations are included.
- `pnpm-lock.yaml` is intentionally excluded per repository lockfile
policy.
- UI screenshots are not attached because the task explicitly requested
not to add design screenshots or images unless they were part of the
work; component tests cover the new rendering and interaction states.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators need a way to inspect files and work products created by
agents across a company without opening each issue one by one.
> - The existing issue detail surfaces already show attachments and
outputs, but there was no company-level artifacts index or search-result
affordance for artifact-like records.
> - The backend needed a company-scoped artifacts projection API that
preserves issue/run attribution and safe links back to source records.
> - The UI needed a first-class Artifacts page, sidebar entry, reusable
artifact cards, and deep-link handling that keeps company prefixes
intact.
> - This pull request adds the company artifacts API and page, then
wires artifacts into search and issue output surfaces.
> - The benefit is a single place to browse, filter, and open generated
work products and attachments while preserving company boundaries.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#7622.
Feature request fields:
- Problem/motivation: company operators need a consolidated artifacts
surface for attachments and work products produced by agents.
- Proposed solution: add a company-scoped artifacts projection endpoint,
a board Artifacts route, reusable cards, sidebar navigation, and
artifact search integration.
- Alternatives considered: keep artifact discovery only on individual
issue pages; that forces operators to know the source issue before
finding generated outputs.
- Roadmap alignment: checked `ROADMAP.md`; this is a focused board
UI/API improvement and does not duplicate a listed roadmap item.
## What Changed
- Added shared artifact types and validators.
- Added a company-scoped artifact projection service/API with tests for
attachment/work-product attribution.
- Added Artifacts board UI route, API client, sidebar link, cards,
filters, and storybook coverage.
- Added artifact result handling to company search and issue
output/deep-link flows.
- Rebased the branch onto the latest `public-gh/master` state and
resolved the route-test conflict by preserving both upstream
team-catalog coverage and artifact route coverage.
- Fixed a local Sidebar test helper so it no longer depends on a
runtime-undefined `React.act` export in this dependency install.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/artifacts/ArtifactCard.test.tsx src/api/artifacts.test.ts
src/lib/company-routes.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run

server/src/__tests__/company-search-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-search-rate-limit-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts`
- Confirmed the PR diff does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml` or
`.github/workflows/*`.
- Duplicate search: no open PRs or issues found for `artifact page
ArtifactCard` in `paperclipai/paperclip`.
Screenshots are intentionally omitted per the internal task instruction
not to add design screenshots or images to this PR unless they are
specifically part of the work. I also attempted browser capture in this
runner, but `agent-browser` failed to launch Chrome and Playwright
Chromium is missing `libatk-1.0.so.0`.
## Risks
- Low-to-medium risk: this adds a new API projection and UI surface, so
attribution/link regressions could affect artifact navigation.
- Company scoping is covered in the new service/API tests.
- No database migrations are included.
- No lockfile or workflow changes are included.

Fixes#7551
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for AI-agent companies, and reusable
company/team setup is part of making those companies faster to launch.
> - The teams catalog work introduces app-shipped team templates that
can be browsed, previewed, and installed into a company.
> - Catalog installation crosses several contracts: bundled package
contents, shared API types, server import/install behavior, CLI
workflows, and the board UI.
> - Agents also need a safe path through catalog installs: scoped
company selection, explicit source policy, approval fallback for agent
creation, and preserved catalog provenance.
> - This pull request extracts the completed teams catalog branch into
one reviewable PR on top of `public-gh/master`.
> - The benefit is a reusable teams catalog foundation with server, CLI,
package, docs, and hidden UI surfaces kept in sync.
## What Changed
- Added the `@paperclipai/teams-catalog` package with bundled/optional
team definitions, generated manifest, validators, catalog builder tests,
and migration notes.
- Added shared teams catalog types/validators plus server routes and
services for listing, previewing, and installing catalog teams.
- Integrated catalog install with company portability, skill/source
policy checks, provenance metadata, origin hashes, target-manager
reparenting, and installed/out-of-date detection.
- Added CLI `teams` commands and agent-safe company selection behavior,
including `company current` and approval fallback for forbidden
agent-run installs.
- Added hidden Team Catalog UI/API/query surfaces, Storybook fixtures,
and targeted UI tests while keeping the UI route out of primary
navigation.
- Added docs for CLI/company/teams catalog behavior and removed
generated screenshot artifacts from the PR diff.
## Verification

- Confirmed branch is rebased onto `public-gh/master` (`78dc3625a`) and
`public-gh/master` is an ancestor of `HEAD`.
- Confirmed PR diff excludes `pnpm-lock.yaml`, `.github/workflows/*`,
generated screenshot images, and screenshot helper scripts.
## Risks
- Medium review surface: this crosses package generation, shared
contracts, server install behavior, CLI, docs, and hidden UI code.
- Catalog install behavior creates agents/projects/tasks/skills and must
keep company scoping, permissions, source policy, and provenance checks
strict.
- `pnpm-lock.yaml` is intentionally excluded per repo policy;
CI/default-branch automation owns lockfile refresh.
- The Team Catalog UI is included but hidden from primary navigation, so
future enablement should re-check visual QA before exposure.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies, so
planning approvals and child-issue fan-out are part of the core
control-plane loop.
> - Accepted plans are supposed to be a safe bridge from planning into
execution, especially when agents wake from review decisions and reuse
isolated workspaces.
> - The duplicate-subtask incident showed that an accepted plan revision
could be interpreted more than once across overlapping runs, which broke
the single-source-of-truth model for issue decomposition.
> - Fixing that required tightening the backend contract first:
accepted-plan decomposition needs an exact-once fingerprint, durable
claim state, and retry-safe child creation.
> - Once that backend behavior existed, the board still needed
visibility into what happened, so the issue detail view needed a
dedicated decomposition section instead of forcing operators to
reconstruct child creation from raw activity.
> - This pull request adds the exact-once decomposition primitive,
hardens wake routing and regressions around the incident, and surfaces
decomposition state in the UI so future incidents are both prevented and
easier to inspect.
## What Changed
- Added accepted-plan decomposition semantics to
`doc/execution-semantics.md`, including the exact-once fingerprint,
durable claim/result expectations, and retry/resume behavior.
- Added persistent accepted-plan decomposition claims in the backend,
including schema, shared types/validators, service logic, and issue
routes for creating and listing decomposition state.
- Hardened heartbeat routing so an accepted-plan continuation stays
scoped to the relevant planning issue instead of opportunistically
re-decomposing another accepted issue on the same assignee.
- Added regression coverage for the original failure modes: concurrent
same-parent retries, cross-issue accepted-plan isolation, and partial
child recreation under the same fingerprint.
- Added the `Plan decomposition` issue-detail section plus supporting
API/query-key/activity formatting updates so operators can see revision
status, owner, child counts, and the linked child issues directly in the
UI.
- Included the small follow-up UI fix so the decomposition section still
renders when the issue work mode is no longer `planning`.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts -t
"lists persisted decompositions with child issue summaries"`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts -t
"accepted plan decomposition"
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-accepted-plan-workspace-refresh.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-context-summary.test.ts`
- Manual UI path: create a planning issue without an isolated execution
workspace, add a `plan` document, accept the `request_confirmation`, let
Paperclip create child issues, then reopen the parent issue detail page
and confirm the `Plan decomposition` section shows the accepted
revision, status, idempotent-claim badge, and child links.
- Separate follow-up bug noted during manual UI validation: accepting a
plan on an issue whose run never records `workspace_finalize` is tracked
in `PAPA-445` and is not part of this PR’s fix scope.
## Risks
- This adds a new migration and a large Drizzle snapshot update;
reviewers should confirm the schema shape and generated metadata match
the intended decomposition table.
- The exact-once claim changes sit on the accepted-plan fan-out path, so
regressions there could block legitimate child creation or mis-handle
retries if the claim state machine is wrong.
- The new UI only appears when decomposition records exist; reviewers
should use the manual verification path above rather than expecting
existing issues on a stale local instance to show the section
automatically.
- `PAPA-445` remains an open follow-up for the `workspace_finalize`
accept gate when a planning handoff never records finalize; that bug can
interfere with reproducing the UI flow on isolated workspaces but does
not change the correctness of the exact-once decomposition feature
itself.
> Checked `ROADMAP.md`: this PR is a bug fix / control-plane hardening
change for accepted-plan decomposition, not a new uncoordinated roadmap
feature.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex via Paperclip `codex_local` (GPT-5-based coding agent;
exact backend model ID/context window not exposed in the run context),
with repository tool use, shell execution, and code-editing
capabilities.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies through
company-scoped control-plane workflows.
> - Agents need reusable, inspectable skills that can be installed,
reset, audited, exported, and assigned without bespoke local setup.
> - The existing skill truth model needed cleanup so bundled skills,
optional catalog skills, runtime skills, and adapter-provided skills
have clear provenance.
> - Operators also need a practical CLI and board UI for discovering and
managing company skills.
> - This pull request adds the skills CLI, packaged skills catalog,
company skills APIs, and catalog-aware board UI.
> - The benefit is a more reusable Paperclip company setup where skills
are portable, auditable, and easier for operators and agents to manage.
## What Changed
- Added `paperclipai skills` CLI commands and coverage for catalog
listing, installing, resetting, and inspecting company skills.
- Added a packaged `@paperclipai/skills-catalog` workspace with bundled
and optional skill content plus validation/build tests.
- Added shared company-skill types and validators used across CLI,
server, and UI contracts.
- Added server catalog APIs/services for company skill catalog
operations, reset semantics, audit behavior, and portability provenance.
- Updated adapter skill handling so runtime/catalog provenance remains
explicit across local adapters.
- Added board UI support for browsing and managing catalog-backed
company skills.
- Updated docs for the skills CLI/catalog flow and the company skills
Paperclip skill reference.
- Rebased the branch onto current `paperclipai/paperclip:master`; no
`pnpm-lock.yaml`, `.github/workflows`, or migration files are included
in the final PR diff.

server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts -t "default
branch|origin/master|symbolic-ref"`.
- Attempted: full `server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts`. Four
provisioning tests failed while seeding an isolated worktree database
from the local Paperclip instance because the local plugin schema dump
contains a duplicate-column foreign key
(`plugin_content_machine_18a7bc327b.content_case_signals`). The
default-branch tests touched by the rebase conflict passed in the
focused run above.
- Checked final diff: no `pnpm-lock.yaml`, no `.github/workflows`, and
no migration-file changes relative to `master`.
## Risks
- Medium: this is a broad skills/catalog change touching CLI, server
APIs, shared contracts, adapter skill sync, and UI.
- Catalog validation and reset semantics need careful reviewer attention
because they affect reusable company setup and portability.
- No database migrations are included in this PR, so there is no
migration ordering/idempotency risk in the final diff.
- No lockfile is included by design; dependency resolution will be
handled by the repository lockfile workflow.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex coding agent based on GPT-5, running in Paperclip via the
`codex_local` adapter with shell, git, GitHub CLI, and code-editing tool
access. Exact hosted model build/context-window metadata is not exposed
in this runtime.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI-agent companies through issues, documents,
runs, and durable company-scoped state.
> - Issue documents are where agents and operators capture plans,
handoffs, and work products.
> - Before this change, document collaboration could only happen through
whole-document edits and detached issue comments.
> - Inline document annotations need stable anchors, revision-aware
persistence, and UI affordances that do not break existing document
editing.
> - This pull request adds company-scoped document annotation threads,
comments, anchor snapshots, API routes, and board UI.
> - The benefit is that operators and agents can discuss specific
document passages without losing context as documents evolve.
## What Changed
- Added document annotation tables, schema exports, shared types,
validators, anchor hashing, and text-anchor helpers.
- Added server-side document annotation services and issue routes for
listing, creating, commenting, resolving, and reopening annotation
threads.
- Included annotation summaries in relevant issue document reads and
backup/recovery document workspace behavior.
- Added React UI for inline document highlights, comment panels, mobile
sheet behavior, deep-link focus, and resolved/open filtering.
- Added annotation design artifacts, Storybook coverage, screenshots,
and a screenshot helper script.
- Rebased the branch onto current `paperclipai/paperclip` `master` and
renumbered the annotation migration from `0085_old_swarm` to
`0091_old_swarm`; the SQL uses `IF NOT EXISTS` guards so environments
that previously applied the old migration number can safely apply the
new one.
- Adjusted the new annotation UI tests to use a local async flush helper
because this workspace's React 19.2.4 export does not expose
`React.act`.
## Verification
- `pnpm run preflight:workspace-links && pnpm exec vitest run
packages/shared/src/document-anchors.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/document-annotation-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/document-annotations-service.test.ts
ui/src/components/DocumentAnnotationLayer.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssueDocumentAnnotations.test.tsx
ui/src/lib/document-annotation-hash.test.ts
ui/src/lib/document-annotation-selection.test.ts`
- Confirmed `git diff --check` passes.
- Confirmed no `pnpm-lock.yaml` or `.github/workflows/*` files are
included in the PR diff.
## Risks
- Medium risk: this adds new persisted annotation tables and routes
across db/shared/server/ui.
- Migration risk is reduced by moving the branch migration to
`0091_old_swarm` after upstream `0090_resource_memberships` and keeping
the SQL idempotent for old `0085_old_swarm` adopters.
- UI risk is mostly around text range anchoring and panel positioning
across long documents, folded content, and mobile layouts; the PR
includes focused unit coverage and design screenshots.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - Agent creation can happen through local runtimes, managed runtimes,
and external agents that onboard through invites.
> - The old OpenClaw-oriented invite UX lived under company
settings/invites and made a gateway-specific path look like a company
access setting.
> - That hid the broader bring-your-own-agent flow and forced operators
to leave the add-agent modal when adding an external agent.
> - This pull request moves external agent invite generation into the
add-agent modal and makes the copy agent-oriented instead of
OpenClaw-only.
> - The benefit is a clearer agent-first onboarding path while company
invites stay focused on human access.
## What Changed
- Added an external-agent invite branch to the add-agent modal,
including a dedicated prompt result view with Back navigation.
- Added a shared agent onboarding prompt builder and focused modal
coverage for prompt replacement/back navigation.
- Removed the agent invite prompt UI from Company Settings and Company
Invites, leaving Company Invites focused on human access links and
invite history.
- Updated the hidden OpenClaw Gateway runtime hint to direct operators
to the add-agent invite flow instead of presenting it as a blocked
runtime card.
- Updated invite/onboarding docs, storybook coverage, and server-side
onboarding copy toward generic agent language while preserving existing
gateway compatibility.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `FAKE_BIN="$(mktemp -d)/bin"; mkdir -p "$FAKE_BIN"; printf
'#!/bin/sh\nexit 1\n' > "$FAKE_BIN/tailscale"; chmod +x
"$FAKE_BIN/tailscale"; PATH="$FAKE_BIN:$PATH" pnpm test:run`
- `pnpm test:run` without the fake `tailscale` shim was also attempted;
it failed only in two pre-existing CLI tailnet fallback tests because
this host has a real Tailscale address (`100.125.202.3`) where those
tests expect no Tailscale.
- Focused confirmation for that host-env issue: `FAKE_BIN=...
PATH="$FAKE_BIN:$PATH" pnpm exec vitest run --project paperclipai
cli/src/__tests__/network-bind.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/onboard.test.ts`
- Manual UI verification: served UI locally in light mode, opened
add-agent modal, generated external agent prompt, verified the generated
prompt replaces the form and Back returns to the form.
### Screenshots
## Risks
- Existing OpenClaw gateway compatibility remains, but operators now
discover external agent onboarding from the add-agent modal instead of
company settings.
- Agent invites still appear in the invite history table, so that page
may show agent-scoped invite rows even though it no longer creates agent
onboarding prompts.
- Low migration risk: no schema changes.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip operators spend most of their time scanning the board,
inbox, sidebar, and local dev status surfaces
> - Small UI and dev-ops frictions make repeated operator workflows feel
slower than they need to be
> - The working branch contained several independent quality-of-life
improvements mixed with larger cloud work
> - Grouping these smaller UI/dev-ops changes together keeps review
overhead reasonable without merging them into feature PRs
> - This pull request collects the operator-facing QoL polish into one
standalone branch
> - The benefit is a cleaner board navigation and local dev recovery
experience without depending on cloud upstream sync
## What Changed
- Relaxed forced 44px touch targets for small inline widgets.
- Fixed mobile mention menu scrolling and sidebar spacing on
touch/mobile layouts.
- Synced inbox hover state with j/k selection.
- Moved plugin sidebar entries into the Work section.
- Added manual dev-server restart action/banner behavior.
- Logged plugin bridge 502 causes for better diagnosis.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --ignore-scripts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk build`
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/MarkdownEditor.test.tsx
ui/src/components/Sidebar.test.tsx
ui/src/components/SidebarProjects.test.tsx ui/src/pages/Inbox.test.tsx
ui/src/components/DevRestartBanner.test.tsx
server/src/__tests__/dev-server-status.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/health-dev-server-token.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/plugin-routes-authz.test.ts` initially failed only
because plugin SDK `dist` was not built in the fresh worktree.
- Rerun after build: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/plugin-routes-authz.test.ts` passed.
- The remaining targeted UI/dev-server tests passed on the first
post-install run.
## Visual Evidence
- Sidebar layout and plugin Work section: 
- Inbox/task row selection and hover-state surface: 
- Dev restart banner desktop: 
- Dev restart banner mobile: 
## Risks
- Mostly UI/dev ergonomics with low data risk.
- Sidebar and inbox changes touch frequently used navigation surfaces,
so visual review on desktop/mobile is still useful.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents that need scoped, auditable access
to secrets
> - Hosted and external deployments need provider vault configuration
without exposing secret values in Paperclip metadata
> - AWS Secrets Manager vault setup previously required too much manual
operator knowledge
> - Provider vault discovery and removal belong together as an
independent secrets-management improvement
> - This pull request adds AWS provider vault discovery/prefill plus
vault removal flows
> - The benefit is a safer operator path for configuring external secret
storage before higher-level cloud workflows depend on it
## What Changed
- Added shared validators/types for AWS provider vault discovery
payloads and safe provider metadata.
- Implemented AWS provider vault discovery preview on the server.
- Added provider vault removal service/route behavior.
- Added Secrets page UI for discovery prefill, removal messaging, and
related rendering coverage.
- Added Storybook provider-vault fixtures and captured screenshots for
the new UX states.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --ignore-scripts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/validators/secret.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/aws-secrets-manager-provider.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/secrets-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/secrets-service.test.ts
ui/src/pages/Secrets.render.test.tsx`
- Result: 4 files passed, 1 embedded Postgres-backed file skipped on
this host because local Postgres init was unavailable.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/pages/Secrets.render.test.tsx`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- Storybook screenshot capture against `Product/Secrets` on
`http://127.0.0.1:60381/iframe.html?id=product-secrets--secrets-inventory&viewMode=story&globals=theme:dark`
## Screenshots
Provider vaults tab after this change:
AWS discovery candidate flow:
Provider vault removal confirmation:
## Risks
- Secret provider metadata handling must remain non-sensitive;
validators reject credential-bearing Vault URLs and sensitive AWS
discovery keys.
- AWS discovery depends on deployment credentials being configured
correctly outside Paperclip-managed company secrets.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for autonomous AI companies, so agent
work needs visible ownership, recovery, and operator controls.
> - This local branch had accumulated several related control-plane
reliability and operator-experience fixes across recovery actions,
watchdog folding, model-profile defaults, mentions, markdown editing,
plugin launchers, and small UI polish.
> - The branch needed to be converted into a PR against the current
`origin/master` without losing dirty work or including lockfile/workflow
churn.
> - The safest standalone shape is a single rollup PR because the
recovery/server/UI files overlap heavily across the local commits and
splitting would create avoidable conflicts.
> - This pull request replays the local branch onto latest
`origin/master`, preserves the uncommitted work as logical commits, and
adds a Zod 4 validator compatibility fix found during verification.
> - The benefit is that the May 17 local branch can be reviewed and
merged as one coherent, conflict-free branch under the 100-file Greptile
limit.
## What Changed
- Rebased the local May 17 branch work onto current `origin/master` in a
dedicated worktree.
- Preserved and committed previously dirty changes for recovery retry
handling, plugin/sidebar launcher polish, and `.herenow` ignores.
- Added recovery-action behavior for returning source issues to `todo`
when retrying source-scoped recovery.
- Included the existing local recovery/liveness/watchdog fold, Codex
cheap-profile, markdown/mention, duplicate-agent, and UI polish commits
from the branch.
- Normalized shared validator `z.record(...)` schemas to explicit
string-key records for Zod 4 compatibility.
- Confirmed the PR has no `pnpm-lock.yaml` or `.github/workflows/*`
changes and stays below the 100-file Greptile limit.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --ignore-scripts`
- `npm run install` in
`node_modules/.pnpm/sqlite3@5.1.7/node_modules/sqlite3` to build the
local native sqlite3 binding after installing with scripts disabled
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/validators/issue.test.ts
packages/shared/src/project-mentions.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-model-profile.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-recovery-actions.test.ts

ui/src/components/MarkdownEditor.test.tsx
ui/src/components/MarkdownBody.test.tsx
ui/src/lib/duplicate-agent-payload.test.ts
ui/src/pages/Routines.test.tsx`
- First pass: 13 files passed with 201 passing tests; 3 server files
failed before sqlite3 native binding was built.
- After rebuilding sqlite3:
`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-model-profile.test.ts`,
`server/src/__tests__/issue-recovery-actions.test.ts`, and
`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-active-run-output-watchdog.test.ts`
passed/loaded; embedded Postgres tests were skipped by the local host
guard.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
## Risks
- Medium risk: this is a broad rollup PR across recovery semantics,
server tests, shared validators, and UI surfaces.
- Some embedded Postgres tests skipped locally due the host guard, so CI
should provide the stronger database-backed signal.
- UI changes were covered by component tests, but no browser screenshot
was captured in this PR creation pass.
- This branch may overlap with existing recovery/liveness PR work; merge
this PR independently or restack/close overlapping branches rather than
merging duplicate implementations together.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - Scheduled routines are the control-plane path for recurring agent
work.
> - Routines already had dispatch/history, but their runtime environment
did not carry routine-owned secret bindings through execution.
> - Operators need routine-specific secrets that can override
project/agent env without exposing secret values in history, logs, or
access events.
> - This pull request adds the routine env runtime contract, wires it
into execution, and makes the routine UI/history surfaces show safe
secret metadata.
> - The benefit is that routine executions can use scoped secret refs
predictably while preserving company boundaries and auditability.
## What Changed
- Added routine env persistence/runtime support, including
`routines.env`, `routine_runs.routine_revision_id`, revision snapshots,
and idempotent migration `0086_routine_env_runtime_contract`.
- Resolved routine env during heartbeat adapter config assembly with
precedence `agent < project < routine` and secret access events recorded
against the routine consumer.
- Added secret binding synchronization for routine create/update/restore
flows and guarded cross-company, missing, disabled, and deleted secret
cases.
- Added a Secrets tab to routine detail, env/secret history diff
rendering, and Storybook coverage for the new UI states.
- Added server/UI regression tests, including an embedded-Postgres QA
path for routine secret execution and restore behavior.
- Updated implementation/database docs for routine env and
secret-binding behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` after rebasing onto
`public-gh/master` to refresh workspace links for the newly-added
upstream Grok adapter package.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-project-env.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/routines-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/secrets-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/qa-routine-secrets-e2e.test.ts
ui/src/components/RoutineHistoryTab.test.tsx` passed: 5 files, 92 tests.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed across the workspace.
- `pnpm build` passed. Vite emitted the existing
large-chunk/dynamic-import warnings.
- UI screenshots were captured locally during QA in
`artifacts/pap-9521/` and `artifacts/pap-9522/`; generated screenshots
are not committed to avoid adding binary artifacts to the repo.
## Risks
- Migration risk is limited by `IF NOT EXISTS` guards for the new
columns, FK, and index, and the migration is ordered as `0086`
immediately after upstream `0085`.
- Runtime behavior changes env precedence for routine executions by
adding routine env as the highest-precedence layer; tests cover
agent/project/routine precedence.
- Secret handling is security-sensitive; tests cover value-free
manifests/events/errors, disabled/missing/deleted secrets, and
cross-company rejection.
- UI history now renders routine env/secret diffs; tests and Storybook
stories cover the main rendering paths.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI-agent companies through company-scoped
issues, comments, and issue documents.
> - Issue documents are the durable place where plans, handoffs, and
other work artifacts are revised over time.
> - Some documents need to be preserved as operator-approved snapshots
while agents continue working on the same issue.
> - Without document locking, a later board or agent write can overwrite
the document key that reviewers expected to remain stable.
> - This pull request adds board-managed issue document locks and makes
agent writes to locked keys create a derived document instead of
mutating the locked document.
> - The benefit is safer document handoffs: approved or frozen issue
documents stay immutable until the board explicitly unlocks them.
## What Changed
- Added `locked_at`, `locked_by_agent_id`, and `locked_by_user_id`
document fields plus migration `0085_tranquil_the_executioner.sql`.
- Added document lock/unlock service behavior, route endpoints, activity
events, and locked-document write protections.
- Made agent document writes to locked keys create a new derived key
such as `plan-2` rather than overwriting the locked document.
- Surfaced lock state through shared issue document types, UI API
methods, document header lock controls, and activity formatting.
- Added server and UI tests for lock/unlock behavior, locked document
immutability, and UI action visibility.
- Updated `doc/SPEC-implementation.md` with the V1 document lock
contract and endpoints.
## Verification
- `git rebase public-gh/master` completed cleanly after committing the
branch changes.
- `git diff --check` passed before commit.
- `pnpm run preflight:workspace-links && pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/documents-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts
ui/src/components/IssueDocumentsSection.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssueContinuationHandoff.test.tsx
ui/src/lib/document-revisions.test.ts` passed: 5 files, 32 tests.
## Risks
- Medium risk because this changes the document persistence contract and
adds a migration.
- The migration uses `ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS` and guarded foreign-key
creation so it remains safe for users who may have already applied an
earlier copy of the migration.
- Locked documents intentionally reject board edits/deletes/restores
until unlocked; any existing workflows that expected direct overwrite
need to unlock first.
- Agent writes to locked keys now create derived documents, which may
create extra issue documents when agents retry locked writes.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex coding agent based on GPT-5, with tool use and local code
execution in the Paperclip worktree.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies through
company-scoped issues, comments, approvals, and execution workspaces.
> - Operators need the Inbox to show not only active work, but also
blocked work that may need human or agent attention.
> - The existing inbox experience did not have a dedicated blocked-work
surface, so blocked tasks were harder to triage and resume deliberately.
> - Backend consumers also needed a compact attention signal that
distinguishes actionable blockers from covered or waiting blocker
states.
> - This pull request adds a Blocked Inbox tab backed by issue
blocker-attention metadata, shared validators, and UI helpers.
> - The benefit is a clearer triage path for stalled or blocked
Paperclip work without exposing external wait internals in the
operator-facing UI.
## What Changed
- Added shared issue blocker-attention types, validators, and exports
for the API/UI contract.
- Added backend blocker-attention computation and issue route support
for blocked inbox data.
- Added the Blocked Inbox tab, blocked reason chips, filtering/search
UI, responsive layouts, and Storybook stories.
- Updated inbox helpers and page behavior so toolbar controls only
appear where they apply.
- Added coverage for shared validators, server blocker-attention
behavior, blocked inbox UI helpers/components, and the Inbox page.
- Added a screenshot helper script for the blocked inbox Storybook
stories.
- Addressed Greptile feedback by making urgency sorting deterministic
for null stop times, avoiding full blocked-inbox list enrichment for
counts, and hardening the screenshot helper.
## Verification
- Rebased the branch cleanly onto `public-gh/master`.
- Confirmed the diff does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml`.
- Confirmed the diff does not include database migration files.
- Ran `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/validators/issue.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-blocker-attention.test.ts
ui/src/components/BlockedInboxView.test.tsx
ui/src/components/BlockedReasonChip.test.tsx
ui/src/lib/blockedInbox.test.ts ui/src/lib/inbox.test.ts
ui/src/pages/Inbox.test.tsx`.
- Ran `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck && pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck && pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui
typecheck`.
- Checked `ROADMAP.md`; this is scoped inbox/operator triage work and
does not duplicate a listed roadmap feature.
- Greptile Review is green on the latest head and all four Greptile
review threads are resolved.
- GitHub PR checks are green on the latest head: policy, security/snyk,
e2e, verify, Canary Dry Run, Greptile Review, and serialized server
suites 1/4 through 4/4.
## Risks
- Medium review surface because this touches the shared issue contract,
server issue services, and the Inbox UI together.
- Blocker-attention classification may need product tuning after
operators use it on real blocked queues.
- UI screenshots were not attached in this PR-opening pass; the branch
includes `scripts/screenshot-blocked-inbox.mjs` and Storybook stories
for visual capture.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is a control plane for autonomous AI companies, where work
must end with a clear disposition rather than ambiguous agent liveness.
> - Recovery currently detects stalled or missing-next-step issues, but
source issue recovery can become split across child recovery issues,
blockers, and comments.
> - That makes it harder for operators and agents to see who owns
recovery and what exact action is needed on the original issue.
> - Source-scoped recovery actions give the original issue a first-class
active recovery state with owner, evidence, wake policy, and resolution
outcome.
> - This pull request adds the recovery-action data model, backend
reconciliation and resolution APIs, and board UI indicators/actions.
> - The benefit is clearer stalled-work recovery without losing source
issue context or relying on comments as the liveness path.
## What Changed
- Added the `issue_recovery_actions` schema, shared
types/constants/validators, and an idempotent
`0084_issue_recovery_actions` migration ordered after current `master`
migrations.
- Updated stranded/missing-disposition recovery to create source-scoped
recovery actions, wake the recovery owner on the source issue, and avoid
locking the source issue for recovery-action wakes.
- Added API support for reading active recovery actions on issue
detail/list surfaces and resolving them with restored, blocked,
cancelled, or false-positive outcomes.
- Require blocked recovery resolutions to have an unresolved first-class
blocker, and removed the UI shortcut that could mark recovery blocked
without a blocker selection path.
- Surfaced recovery indicators/actions in the issue UI, blocker notices,
active run panels, issue rows, and Storybook coverage.
- Updated docs and focused tests for recovery semantics, ownership,
races, stale comments, and UI behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-recovery-actions.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
ui/src/components/IssueRecoveryActionCard.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssueBlockedNotice.test.tsx ui/src/api/issues.test.ts`
— 5 files, 72 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` — passed, including
migration numbering check.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- Follow-up verification after blocker-resolution guard: `pnpm exec
vitest run server/src/__tests__/issue-recovery-actions.test.ts
ui/src/components/IssueRecoveryActionCard.test.tsx
ui/src/api/issues.test.ts` — 3 files, 27 tests passed.
- Follow-up `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- Follow-up `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- UI states are available in
`ui/storybook/stories/source-issue-recovery.stories.tsx`; screenshot
capture helper is `scripts/screenshot-recovery-card.cjs`.
## Risks
- Medium: recovery behavior changes from child recovery issue ownership
toward source-scoped actions, so operators may see stalled-work state in
new places.
- Migration risk is mitigated by using the next migration slot after
`master` and making the table/constraints/index creation idempotent for
anyone who previously applied the old branch-local
`0082_dizzy_master_mold` migration.
- Existing child recovery issue paths are still guarded for
already-created recovery issues, but new source-scoped flows should be
watched in CI and Greptile review.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI-agent companies and needs secrets handling
to work across local development, hosted operators, and governed agent
execution.
> - The affected subsystem is the company-scoped secrets control plane:
database schema, server services/routes, CLI workflows, and the Secrets
settings UI.
> - The gap was that secrets were local-only and operators could not
manage provider vaults or import existing remote references without
exposing plaintext.
> - This branch adds provider vault configuration plus an AWS Secrets
Manager remote-import path while preserving company boundaries, binding
context, and audit trails.
> - I kept the PR to a single branch PR, removed unrelated
lockfile/package drift, rebased the full branch onto the current
`public-gh/master`, and addressed fresh Greptile findings.
> - The benefit is a reviewable implementation of provider-backed
secrets with focused tests covering provider selection, import
conflicts, deleted secret reuse, rotation guards, and AWS signing
behavior.
## What Changed
- Added provider vault support for company secrets, including provider
config storage, default vault handling, health checks, binding usage,
access events, and remote import preview/commit.
- Added an AWS Secrets Manager provider using SigV4 request signing,
bounded request timeouts, namespace guardrails, cached runtime
credential resolution, and external-reference linking without plaintext
reads.
- Added Secrets UI surfaces for vault management and remote import, plus
CLI/API documentation for setup and operations.
- Stabilized routine webhook secret binding paths and SSH
environment-driver fixture bindings discovered during verification.
- Addressed Greptile and CI findings: no lockfile/package drift,
monotonic migration metadata, disabled-vault default races, soft-deleted
secret hiding/recreate behavior, remove behavior with disabled vaults,
soft-deleted external-reference re-import, non-active rotation guards,
managed-secret soft deletion through PATCH, and per-call AWS SDK
credential client churn.
- Rebased this branch onto `public-gh/master` at `0e1a5828` and
force-pushed with lease to keep this as the single PR for the branch.
## Verification
- `git fetch public-gh master`
- `git rebase public-gh/master`
- `git diff --name-only public-gh/master...HEAD | grep
'^pnpm-lock\.yaml$' || true` confirmed `pnpm-lock.yaml` is not in the PR
diff.
- Confirmed migration ordering: master ends at `0081_optimal_dormammu`;
this PR adds `0082_dry_vision` and
`0083_company_secret_provider_configs`.
- Inspected migrations for repeat safety: new tables/indexes use `IF NOT
EXISTS`; foreign keys are guarded by `DO $$ ... IF NOT EXISTS`; column
additions use `ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS`.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed before the Greptile follow-up commits.
- `pnpm test:run` ran the full stable Vitest path before the Greptile
follow-up commits; it completed with 3 timing-related failures under
parallel load: `codex-local-execute.test.ts`,
`cursor-local-execute.test.ts`, and `environment-service.test.ts`.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/codex-local-execute.test.ts
src/__tests__/cursor-local-execute.test.ts
src/__tests__/environment-service.test.ts` passed on targeted rerun
(`24/24`).
- `pnpm build` passed before the Greptile follow-up commits. Vite
reported existing chunk-size/dynamic-import warnings.
- After Greptile follow-up commits: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server
exec vitest run src/__tests__/secrets-service.test.ts` passed (`26/26`).
- After Greptile follow-up commits: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server
exec vitest run src/__tests__/aws-secrets-manager-provider.test.ts
src/__tests__/secrets-service.test.ts` passed (`39/39`).
- After Greptile follow-up commits: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server
typecheck` passed.
- Captured Storybook screenshots from `ui/storybook-static` for visual
review.
- Latest PR checks on `5ca3a5cf`: `policy`, serialized server suites
1/4-4/4, `Canary Dry Run`, `e2e`, `security/snyk`, and `Greptile Review`
pass; aggregate `verify` is still registering the completed child
checks.
- Greptile review loop continued through the latest requested pass; all
Greptile review threads are resolved and the latest `Greptile Review`
check on `5ca3a5cf` passed with 0 comments added.
## Screenshots
Before: the provider-vault and remote-import surfaces did not exist on
`master`; these are after-state screenshots from the Storybook fixtures.
## Risks
- Migration risk: this adds new secret provider tables and extends
existing secret rows. The migrations were checked for monotonic ordering
and idempotent guards, but reviewers should still inspect upgrade
behavior carefully.
- Provider risk: AWS support uses direct SigV4 requests. Automated tests
cover signing, request timeouts, vault-config selection, namespace
guardrails, pending-version archival, sanitized provider errors, and
service-level cleanup paths. A real-vault AWS smoke test remains
deployment validation for an operator with AWS credentials rather than
an unverified merge blocker in this local branch.
- UI risk: the Secrets page and import dialog are large new surfaces;
screenshots are included above for reviewer inspection.
- Verification risk: the full local stable test command hit
parallel-load timing failures, although the exact failed files passed
when rerun directly.
- Operational risk: remote import intentionally avoids plaintext reads;
operators must understand that imported external references resolve at
runtime and may fail if AWS permissions change.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The issue graph and liveness recovery system decide whether assigned
work is executable or parked
> - Assigned issues created without an explicit status could silently
land in backlog, making parents look blocked with no productive wake
path
> - The server, shared validators, recovery analysis, and UI all need to
agree on that execution semantic
> - This pull request makes assigned issue creation default to `todo`,
flags assigned backlog blockers, and surfaces the state in the board
> - The benefit is that parked assigned work becomes intentional and
visible instead of creating silent liveness stalls
## What Changed
- Adds contract tests for assigned issue creation defaults.
- Defaults assigned issue creation to `todo` when status is omitted
while preserving explicit `backlog` parking.
- Exposes `resolveCreateIssueStatusDefault` through shared validators.
- Teaches liveness/blocker attention paths to distinguish assigned
backlog blockers.
- Adds UI notices, row/header badges, and issue detail safeguards for
assigned backlog blockers.
- Adds Storybook fixtures and execution-semantics documentation for the
assigned-backlog behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm run preflight:workspace-links && pnpm exec vitest run
packages/shared/src/validators/issue.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-assigned-backlog-contract-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-blocker-attention.test.ts

server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation.test.ts
ui/src/components/IssueAssignedBacklogNotice.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssueRow.test.tsx` — 50 passed, 23 skipped.
- Skipped tests were embedded Postgres suites on this host with the repo
skip message: `Postgres init script exited with code null. Please check
the logs for extra info. The data directory might already exist.`
- Pairwise merge check against the issue-controls PR branch completed
without conflicts via `git merge --no-commit --no-ff` in a temporary
worktree.
- Screenshots for assigned-backlog UI states:
[light](docs/pr-screenshots/pr-5428/assigned-backlog-light.png),
[dark](docs/pr-screenshots/pr-5428/assigned-backlog-dark.png).
- Follow-up checks: `pnpm --filter /ui typecheck`; `pnpm --filter
/mcp-server build`; `pnpm --filter /mcp-server test`; `pnpm exec vitest
run packages/shared/src/validators/issue.test.ts`; focused UI component
tests.
- Remote PR checks on head `6300b3c`: policy, verify, serialized server
shards 1/4-4/4, Canary Dry Run, e2e, Greptile Review, and Snyk all
passed.
## Risks
- Medium: changes status defaulting for assigned issue creation when the
caller omits status. Explicit `backlog` remains supported, and
server/shared tests cover both paths.
- Medium: liveness classification changes can affect blocker attention
labels; focused service and UI tests cover the new assigned-backlog
state.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Issue operators need clear controls for execution settings, model
overrides, and recovery retries
> - Existing issue properties hid useful adapter override state and did
not expose a board-triggered retry for scheduled heartbeat recovery
> - Scheduled retries also need to respect the same safety gates as
normal execution instead of bypassing budget, review, pause, dependency,
or terminal-state checks
> - This pull request adds the issue property controls and retry-now
surfaces together because they share the issue details/properties UI
> - The benefit is that operators can inspect and adjust issue execution
settings and safely trigger pending scheduled recovery without hidden
control-plane behavior
## What Changed
- Adds editable issue assignee model override controls in
`IssueProperties`, with focused coverage.
- Removes the stale workspace tasks link from issue properties.
- Adds a scheduled retry `retry-now` backend path and shared response
types.
- Adds main-pane and properties-pane scheduled retry UI, backed by a
shared `useRetryNowMutation` hook.
- Adds suppression coverage for budget hard stops, review participant
changes, subtree pause holds, unresolved blockers, terminal issues, and
company scoping.
- Updates the `IssueProperties` test harness with toast actions required
by the retry-now hook.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/IssueProperties.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssueScheduledRetryCard.test.tsx` — 31 passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-scheduled-retry-routes.test.ts` — exited 0,
but this host skipped the embedded Postgres route tests with: `Postgres
init script exited with code null. Please check the logs for extra info.
The data directory might already exist.`
- Pairwise merge check against the assigned-backlog PR branch completed
without conflicts via `git merge --no-commit --no-ff` in a temporary
worktree.
### Visual verification screenshots
Storybook story: `Product/Issue Scheduled retry surfaces /
ScheduledRetrySurfaces`.
## Risks
- Medium: this touches issue execution/retry behavior, so CI should run
the embedded Postgres route tests on a host that can initialize
Postgres.
- Low-to-medium UI risk around duplicated retry-now entry points; both
surfaces share one mutation hook to keep behavior consistent.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The issue thread is the operator's durable audit trail for what
changed and why
> - Workspace changes and stale disposition notices need to be visible
in that same timeline without noisy or misleading rendering
> - The local branch already contained backend activity details,
timeline conversion, and UI rendering work for those events
> - This pull request isolates the issue-thread activity work into a
standalone branch against `origin/master`
> - The benefit is a focused audit-trail PR that can merge independently
of the sidebar/operator UI polish branch
## What Changed
- Adds readable workspace-change activity details to issue update
activity events.
- Surfaces workspace-change events in issue chat/timeline rendering.
- Makes the existing issue comment migration idempotent.
- Folds and renders stale disposition notices inline so they match
activity-log styling and spacing.
- Adds focused route, timeline, and issue-thread system notice coverage.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-activity-events-routes.test.ts
ui/src/lib/issue-timeline-events.test.ts
ui/src/components/IssueChatThreadSystemNotice.test.tsx` — 3 files

passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck && pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck && pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui
typecheck`.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` after adding the Storybook
screenshot fixture.
- Captured Storybook screenshots for the new UI rendering paths:
- Collapsed stale notice + workspace-change row:
`docs/pr-screenshots/pr-5356/issue-thread-notices-collapsed.png`
- Expanded stale notice details:
`docs/pr-screenshots/pr-5356/issue-thread-notices-expanded.png`
### Screenshots
Collapsed stale notice with workspace-change row:
Expanded stale notice details:
## Risks
- Moderate risk: this touches issue activity serialization and
issue-thread rendering, both of which are central operator surfaces.
- Migration risk is low: the only migration change makes an existing
migration idempotent.
- No new migrations are introduced, so there is no cross-PR migration
ordering requirement.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Operators use the board sidebar and issue properties panel to move
between companies and understand task metadata
> - Small UI regressions in these controls make repeated board operation
slower and less predictable
> - The local branch already contained targeted fixes for company
ordering, issue date display, and sidebar rail sizing
> - This pull request isolates those operator UI quality-of-life fixes
into a standalone branch against `origin/master`
> - The benefit is a focused, reviewable PR that can merge independently
of the issue-thread activity work
## What Changed
- Shows issue property timestamps with time, not just dates.
- Adds edit-mode support for ordering companies in the sidebar company
menu.
- Fixes a workspace switcher rail regression and keeps the account menu
aligned with the rail width.
- Includes focused component coverage for the touched controls.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/IssueProperties.test.tsx

tests passed.

- PR checks on `a4030f7a` are green: policy, verify, serialized server

- Captured a local Storybook screenshot of `Product/Navigation & Layout`
after the sidebar polish:
`/tmp/pap-3659-screenshots/navigation-layout-after.png`.
- Confirmed the PR changes 8 files and does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml`
or `.github/workflows/*`.
## Risks
- Low to moderate UI risk: this touches shared sidebar components and
issue metadata rendering.
- The company ordering behavior depends on existing query/cache
behavior, so stale cache bugs would show up as ordering inconsistencies.
- No database, API, workflow, or lockfile changes are included.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is a control plane for autonomous AI companies.
> - Issues are the core unit of work, and issue comments are how board
users and agents coordinate execution.
> - Some issue conversations need to produce plans and approvals instead
of immediate implementation work.
> - The existing issue contract did not distinguish standard execution
comments from planning-oriented issue work.
> - This pull request adds an issue work-mode contract and board UI
affordances for standard vs planning mode.
> - The benefit is that planning-mode issues can be created, displayed,
discussed, and carried through agent heartbeat context without losing
the normal issue workflow.
## What Changed
- Added `standard` / `planning` issue work-mode contracts across DB,
shared validators/types, server issue flows, plugin protocol, and
adapter heartbeat payloads.
- Added an idempotent `0081_optimal_dormammu` migration for
`issues.work_mode`, ordered after current `public-gh/master` migrations.
- Updated heartbeat/context summaries and issue-thread interaction
behavior so planning work mode is preserved when creating suggested
follow-up issues.
- Added UI support for planning-mode issue creation, issue rows, detail
composer styling, and composer work-mode toggles.
- Added focused server/shared/UI tests plus a Playwright visual
verification spec for planning-mode surfaces.
- Rebased the branch onto current `public-gh/master` and added durable
planning-mode screenshots under `doc/assets/pap-3368/`.

## Risks
- Medium migration risk: this adds a non-null issue column. The
migration uses `ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS` so installations that applied
an older branch-local migration number can still apply the final
numbered migration safely.
- Medium contract risk: issue payloads, plugin payloads, and adapter
heartbeat payloads now include work mode; compatibility is handled by
defaulting missing values to `standard`.
- UI risk is moderate because composer controls changed; focused
component tests and visual e2e coverage exercise standard vs planning
display and toggle behavior.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - Operators need to find work, documents, agents, projects, comments,
and activity across a company without jumping through separate surfaces.
> - The existing Command-K flow was useful for fast navigation but not
enough for deeper company-wide discovery.
> - Search also needs company-scoped backend contracts, query cost
controls, and indexed document matching so it stays safe as company data
grows.
> - This pull request adds a full company search API and a dedicated
board search page that Command-K can hand off to.
> - The benefit is a single searchable control-plane surface with richer
result context, recents, highlights, and test coverage across server and
UI behavior.
## What Changed
- Added a company-scoped search endpoint/service with query validation,
rate limiting, text matching, fuzzy title matching, and result typing
shared through `@paperclipai/shared`.
- Added idempotent search migrations for document search indexes and
fuzzy matching support.
- Added the full `/companies/:companyKey/search` UI, search result row
components, highlighted snippets, recent searches, and sidebar/Command-K
handoff.
- Added Storybook coverage for search surfaces and Vitest coverage for
server search behavior, rate limiting, route generation, Command-K
behavior, and the search page.
- Addressed Greptile findings by renaming the no-match SQL helper,
applying search pagination after cross-type merge sorting, and
lazy-initializing the default search service so unrelated route-test
mocks do not need to know about it.
- Merged current `public-gh/master` and renumbered the search migrations
behind upstream `0078_white_darwin`: search indexes are now
`0079_company_search_document_indexes` and fuzzy matching is
`0080_company_search_fuzzystrmatch`.
## Verification
- `git fetch public-gh master`
- `git diff --check public-gh/master...HEAD`
- `git diff --name-only public-gh/master...HEAD | rg '^pnpm-lock\.yaml$'
|| true` produced no output before opening the PR.
- `pnpm run preflight:workspace-links && pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/company-search-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-search-rate-limit-routes.test.ts
ui/src/pages/Search.test.tsx ui/src/components/CommandPalette.test.tsx
ui/src/lib/company-routes.test.ts` passed: 5 files, 25 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck && pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/db typecheck && pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
&& pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/company-search-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-search-rate-limit-routes.test.ts && pnpm
--filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passed after Greptile pagination
fixes.
- `pnpm exec vitest run

server/src/__tests__/company-search-rate-limit-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-search-service.test.ts && pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck` passed after the CI mock fix.
- After resolving the migration conflict with current
`public-gh/master`: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck && pnpm
exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/company-search-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-search-rate-limit-routes.test.ts && pnpm
--filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passed.
- DB migration numbering check passed as part of `@paperclipai/db`
typecheck.
- UI states are covered by the added Storybook stories in
`ui/storybook/stories/search.stories.tsx`.
- GitHub reports the PR merge state as `CLEAN` on head `18e54fa8`.
- GitHub PR checks are green on head `18e54fa8`: policy, verify,
serialized server shards 1/4 through 4/4, e2e, canary dry run, Snyk, and
Greptile Review.
## Risks
- Search ranking and snippets are new user-facing behavior, so reviewers
should check whether result ordering feels right on real company data.
- Search touches broad company data, so company scoping and query
cost/rate-limit behavior should be reviewed carefully.
- The migrations add search indexes/extensions; they are idempotent with
`IF NOT EXISTS` for users who may have applied an earlier branch
migration number.
> ROADMAP.md checked. This PR adds a focused board search surface and
does not duplicate an open roadmap item.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 coding agent, tool-enabled shell/git/GitHub CLI
session with medium reasoning effort. Existing branch commits were
produced across prior agent sessions; this packaging pass verified,
opened the PR, addressed Greptile findings, resolved migration conflicts
after upstream PRs landed, and got PR checks green.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents across several adapter
implementations.
> - ACPX is a local adapter path that can proxy Claude and Codex-style
execution.
> - Its configuration needed stronger schema defaults, provider-aware
model handling, and better UI support.
> - Plugin authors also need clear docs for managed resources.
> - This pull request improves ACPX adapter configuration and documents
plugin-managed resources.
> - The benefit is a more predictable adapter setup path without
changing unrelated control-plane behavior.
## What Changed
- Improved ACPX config schema, execution config handling, UI build
config, and route coverage.
- Added ACPX model filtering support and tests.
- Updated the agent config form and storybook coverage for ACPX
model/provider behavior.
- Expanded plugin authoring documentation for managed resources.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/acpx-local-execute.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/adapter-routes.test.ts
ui/src/lib/acpx-model-filter.test.ts`
## Risks
- Low-to-medium risk: adapter configuration behavior changes can affect
ACPX users, but the change is isolated to ACPX/plugin-doc surfaces and
covered by targeted adapter tests.
## Model Used
- OpenAI GPT-5 Codex via Paperclip `codex_local` adapter, with
shell/git/GitHub CLI tool use.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - Agent runs can end productively while the source issue still lacks a
durable final disposition.
> - That leaves the control plane unsure whether to resume, escalate, or
close the work.
> - Issue comments also need a presentation contract so system-authored
recovery notices can render as first-class thread messages without
overloading normal comments.
> - This pull request adds successful-run handoff recovery, comment
presentation metadata, and system notice rendering.
> - The benefit is stricter task liveness with clearer operator-facing
recovery state.
## What Changed
- Added successful-run handoff decisions, wake payloads, escalation
behavior, and recovery tests.
- Added issue comment presentation metadata with migration
`0078_white_darwin.sql` and shared/server/company portability support.
- Rendered recovery/system notices in issue chat with dedicated UI
components, fixtures, tests, and storybook/lab coverage.
- Included the current recovery model-profile hint patch so automatic
recovery follow-ups use the cheap profile.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/recovery/successful-run-handoff.test.ts
ui/src/components/SystemNotice.test.tsx
ui/src/lib/system-notice-comment.test.ts
ui/src/components/IssueChatThreadSystemNotice.test.tsx`
## Risks
- Migration-bearing PR: merge this before any other branch that might
later add a migration.
- The branch touches both recovery services and issue-thread rendering,
so review should pay attention to recovery wake idempotency and comment
metadata compatibility.
## Model Used
- OpenAI GPT-5 Codex via Paperclip `codex_local` adapter, with
shell/git/GitHub CLI tool use.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is a control plane for autonomous AI companies where work
must stay observable, governable, and recoverable.
> - The task/heartbeat subsystem owns agent execution continuity, issue
state transitions, and visible recovery behavior.
> - Waiting on an external service is not the same as being blocked when
the assignee still owns a future check.
> - The gap was that agents had no first-class one-shot monitor state
for external-service waits, so recovery could look stalled or require ad
hoc comments.
> - This pull request adds bounded issue monitors that can wake the
owner, clear exhausted waits, and produce explicit recovery behavior.
> - It also surfaces monitor status in the board UI and documents when
to use monitors versus `blocked`.
> - The benefit is clearer liveness semantics for asynchronous waits
without weakening single-assignee task ownership.
## What Changed
- Added issue monitor fields, shared types, validators, constants, and
an idempotent `0075` migration for scheduled monitor state.
- Added server-side monitor scheduling, dispatch, recovery bounds,
activity logging, and external-ref redaction.
- Added board/agent route coverage for monitor permissions and child
monitor scheduling.
- Added issue detail/property UI for monitor state, a monitor activity
card, and Storybook stories for review surfaces.
- Documented monitor semantics and recovery policy behavior in
`doc/execution-semantics.md`.
- Addressed Greptile review feedback by preserving monitor state in
skipped-stage builders and making board monitor saves send `scheduledBy:
"board"`.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- `pnpm run preflight:workspace-links && pnpm exec vitest run

- First run passed 5 files and failed to collect 2 server suites because
the worktree was missing the optional `acpx/runtime` dependency.
- After `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`, reran the 2 failed suites
successfully.

`http://127.0.0.1:6006/iframe.html?viewMode=story&id=product-issue-monitor-surfaces--monitor-surfaces`
with Playwright.
## Screenshots
## Risks
- Medium: this changes heartbeat recovery behavior for scheduled
external-service waits, so regressions could affect wake timing or
recovery issue creation.
- Migration risk is reduced by using `IF NOT EXISTS` for the new issue
monitor columns and index.
- External monitor references are treated as secret-adjacent and are
intentionally omitted from visible activity/wake payloads.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI-agent companies through a control plane
that can start, supervise, and recover agent runs.
> - Local adapters are the bridge between Paperclip issues and concrete
agent runtimes such as Claude, Codex, and other ACP-compatible tools.
> - The roadmap calls out broader “bring your own agent” and claw-style
agent support, and ACPX gives Paperclip one path to normalize multiple
ACP agents behind a single adapter.
> - The branch needed to become one reviewable PR against current
`paperclipai/paperclip:master`, without carrying stale base conflicts or
generated lockfile churn.
> - This pull request adds an experimental built-in `acpx_local`
adapter, integrates it through the server/CLI/UI adapter surfaces, and
adds regression coverage for runtime execution, skill sync, stream
parsing, diagnostics, and log redaction.
> - The benefit is that Paperclip can run Claude/Codex/custom ACP agents
through ACPX while keeping operator configuration, skills, logging, and
transcript rendering inside the existing adapter model.
## What Changed
- Added `@paperclipai/adapter-acpx-local` with server execution, config
schema, ACPX session handling, CLI formatting, UI config helpers, and
stdout parsing.
- Registered `acpx_local` across CLI, server, shared constants, UI
adapter metadata, adapter capabilities, and agent creation/editing
surfaces.
- Added ACPX runtime execution support with persistent sessions,
local-agent JWT environment handling, skill snapshots, runtime skill
materialization, and isolation/security regressions.
- Added ACPX adapter diagnostics and marked the adapter experimental in
the UI.
- Added command/env secret redaction for resolved command metadata in
adapter-utils, server event storage, and the Agent Detail invocation UI.
- Added Storybook coverage for ACPX config, transcript rendering, and
skill states, plus PR screenshots under `docs/pr-screenshots/pap-2944/`.
- Rebased the branch onto current `public-gh/master`; `pnpm-lock.yaml`
is intentionally not included and there are no migration/schema changes.

## Risks
- Medium risk: this introduces a new built-in adapter package and
touches runtime execution, adapter registration, agent config, skills,
and transcript rendering.
- ACPX and ACP agent behavior can vary by installed tool versions; the
adapter is marked experimental to set operator expectations.
- `pnpm-lock.yaml` is excluded per repository PR policy, so dependency
lock refresh must be handled by the repo’s automation or maintainers.
- No database migration risk: no schema or migration files changed.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is a control plane for autonomous AI companies, where
adapters are the boundary between the board, agents, and execution
runtimes.
> - Local adapters currently expose a primary runtime configuration, but
operators often need a cheaper model lane for routine or low-risk work.
> - That cheap lane has to stay adapter-owned: runtime profile settings
should not mutate the primary adapter config or bypass existing
auth/secret mediation.
> - Issue creation also needs an ergonomic way to request primary,
cheap, or custom model behavior for a selected assignee.
> - This pull request adds a first-class `cheap` model profile contract
across adapter capabilities, heartbeat config resolution, agent
configuration, and issue creation.
> - The benefit is cheaper task execution can be configured and
requested explicitly while preserving adapter boundaries, secret
handling, and audit visibility.
## What Changed
- Added adapter model-profile capability metadata and a `cheap` profile
contract for supported local adapters.
- Applied `runtimeConfig.modelProfiles.cheap.adapterConfig` during
heartbeat config resolution, including requested/applied/fallback run
metadata.
- Added agent configuration UI for cheap model profile settings without
writing those settings into primary `adapterConfig`.
- Added New Issue assignee model lane controls for Primary / Cheap /
Custom and request payload handling.
- Added run ledger profile badges and Storybook stories for the new
cheap-lane UI states.
- Added tests for validators, heartbeat model profile application,
permission/secret mediation, UI payload helpers, and run ledger
rendering.
- Added committed UI verification screenshots under
`docs/pr-screenshots/pap-2837/`.
- Addressed Greptile review feedback around cheap-profile defaults,
shared profile types, and fallback test data.

- Mobile variants are also in `docs/pr-screenshots/pap-2837/`.
## Risks
- Medium: heartbeat config mediation now merges runtime model profiles
into adapter configs, so adapter secret normalization and host-command
restrictions must keep covering nested config paths.
- Medium: the UI adds another issue creation choice; unsupported
adapters must keep hiding the cheap lane and preserve primary behavior.
- Low migration risk: no database migration is included.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents through a company-scoped control
plane.
> - The affected surface is the board UI for issue threads, issue lists,
routines, dialogs, navigation, and issue review indicators.
> - Closed PR #4692 bundled backend, schema, docs, workflow, and UI/QoL
work into one oversized change set.
> - Greptile could not keep reviewing that broad PR because it exceeded
the 100-file review limit and mixed unrelated concerns.
> - This pull request extracts the UI/QoL slice into a fresh branch
under the review limit while leaving workflow and lockfile churn out.
> - The benefit is a focused review path for the board UI performance
and workflow improvements without reopening the oversized PR.
## What Changed
- Added long issue-thread virtualization, scroll-container binding,
anchor preservation, latest-comment jump targeting, and related
regression/perf fixtures.
- Improved issue list scalability with scroll-based loading, server
offset parameters, and pagination-focused UI tests.
- Reduced new issue dialog typing churn and split dialog action
subscriptions so broad layout/nav surfaces avoid unnecessary renders.
- Added routine variables help and routine description mention options
for users, agents, and projects.
- Added productivity review badge/link UI and fixed the badge to use
Paperclip's company-prefixed router link.
- Kept the split PR below Greptile's review limit and excluded
`.github/workflows/pr.yml` and `pnpm-lock.yaml`.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --no-frozen-lockfile` in the clean worktree to install
`@tanstack/react-virtual` locally without committing lockfile churn.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run --config

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` passed.
- `git diff --check origin/master..HEAD` passed.
- Split-scope checks: 53 changed files; no `.github/workflows/pr.yml`;
no `pnpm-lock.yaml`.
- Screenshots were not captured in this heartbeat; the changes are
primarily virtualization, routing, pagination, and editor behavior
covered by focused regression tests.
## Risks
- Moderate UI risk because issue-thread virtualization changes scroll
behavior on long conversations; regression tests cover anchor jumps,
latest-comment targeting, row metadata, and short-thread fallback.
- Moderate integration risk because the issue-list offset parameter and
productivity review field depend on matching API behavior.
- Dependency risk: the UI package adds `@tanstack/react-virtual` while
repository policy keeps `pnpm-lock.yaml` out of PRs, so CI must resolve
dependency changes through the repo's normal lockfile policy.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for autonomous AI companies, so
backend task ownership, recovery, review visibility, and company-scoped
limits need to stay enforceable without UI-only coupling.
> - Closed PR #4692 bundled those backend changes with UI workflow,
docs, skills, workflow, and lockfile churn.
> - PAP-2694 asks for a clean backend/control-plane slice from that
closed branch.
> - This branch starts from current `master` and mines only the `cli`,
`packages/db`, `packages/shared`, and `server` contracts/tests needed
for the backend behavior.
> - It explicitly excludes UI workflow/performance work,
`.github/workflows/pr.yml`, `pnpm-lock.yaml`, docs, skills,
package-script, adapter UI build-config, and perf fixture script
changes; the only UI files are fixture/test updates required by the
tightened shared `Company` contract.
> - The benefit is a smaller reviewable PR that preserves the
control-plane fixes while staying under Greptile s 100-file review
limit.
## What Changed
- Added company-scoped attachment-size limits through DB
schema/migrations, shared company portability contracts, CLI
import/export coverage, and server attachment upload enforcement.
- Added productivity review service/API behavior for no-comment streak,
long-active, and high-churn review issues, including request-depth
clamping and issue summary exposure.
- Hardened issue ownership and recovery/control-plane paths: peer-agent
mutation denial, issue tree pause/resume behavior, stranded recovery
origins, and related activity/test coverage.
- Preserved related backend contract updates for routine timestamp
variables and managed agent instruction bundles because they live in
shared/server contracts from the source branch.
- Addressed Greptile feedback by making `Company.attachmentMaxBytes`
non-optional, simplifying review request-depth clamping, fixing the
migration final newline, and enforcing the process-level attachment cap
as the final ceiling for uploads.
- Added minimal company fixtures needed for repo-wide typecheck/build
and kept the PR to 66 changed files with forbidden/non-slice paths
excluded.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- `git diff --check origin/master..HEAD`
- `git diff --name-only origin/master..HEAD | wc -l` -> 66 files
- `git diff --name-only origin/master..HEAD -- .github/workflows/pr.yml
pnpm-lock.yaml package.json doc skills .agents scripts
packages/adapters` -> no output

@paperclipai/ui build`
## Risks
- Includes migrations `0073_shiny_salo.sql` and
`0074_striped_genesis.sql`; merge ordering matters if another PR adds
migrations first.
- This is intentionally backend-only apart from fixture/test updates
forced by shared type correctness; UI affordances from PR #4692 are not
present here and should land in separate UI slices.
- The worktree install emitted plugin SDK bin-link warnings for unbuilt
plugin packages, but the targeted tests and package typechecks completed
successfully.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - Operators use issue detail pages and child issue lists to understand
multi-step execution plans.
> - Ordered sub-issues currently read like a flat table, so dependency
chains and current next steps are harder to scan.
> - The branch work adds a workflow-oriented presentation for child
issues without changing the single-assignee task model.
> - This pull request makes ordered sub-issues read more like a progress
checklist while preserving normal issue list controls.
> - The benefit is that operators can see completed steps, active work,
blocked follow-ups, and dependency order at a glance.
## What Changed
- Added workflow sorting utilities and tests for dependency-aware child
issue ordering.
- Added sub-issue progress summary, checklist numbering, current-step
affordances, blocker context, and done-state de-emphasis in the issue
list UI.
- Wired issue detail sub-issue panels to use the workflow sort/progress
checklist presentation.
- Updated issue service behavior/tests for child issue ordering inputs
used by the UI.
- Added a Storybook visual review fixture and screenshot helper for the
sub-issue workflow checklist surface.
## Verification
- `pnpm run preflight:workspace-links && pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts
ui/src/components/IssueRow.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssuesList.test.tsx ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx
ui/src/lib/issue-detail-subissues.test.ts
ui/src/lib/workflow-sort.test.ts`
- Result: 6 test files passed, 55 tests passed, 34 embedded Postgres
issue-service tests skipped because `@embedded-postgres/darwin-x64` is
unavailable on this host.
- Visual review: generated Storybook screenshots from the existing local
Storybook server on port 6006 with `node
scripts/screenshot-subissues.mjs /tmp/pap-2189-subissues-screens
http://localhost:6006`.
- Screenshot artifacts:
- Desktop dark: 
- Desktop light: 
- Mobile dark: 
- Mobile light: 
- Local Storybook note: starting a second Storybook process selected
port 6008 because 6006 was occupied, then Vite failed with an esbuild
host/binary version mismatch (`0.25.12` host vs `0.27.3` binary). The
already-running Storybook server on 6006 served the fixture successfully
for screenshots.
## Risks
- Medium UI risk: the issue list now has additional sub-issue-specific
visual states, so dense lists should be checked for spacing and
scanability.
- Low ordering risk: workflow sorting is covered by focused unit tests,
but unusual dependency topologies may still need reviewer attention.
- No migration risk: this PR does not add database migrations or touch
`pnpm-lock.yaml`.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Issue comments and documents are the main working surface where
operators and agents collaborate
> - File drops, markdown editing, and long issue descriptions need to
feel predictable because they sit directly in the task execution loop
> - The composer had edge cases around drag targets, attachment
feedback, image drops, and long markdown content crowding the page
> - This pull request polishes the issue composer, hardens markdown
editor regressions, and adds a fold curtain for long issue
descriptions/documents
> - The benefit is a calmer issue detail surface that handles uploads
and long work products without hiding state or breaking layout
## What Changed
- Scoped issue-composer drag/drop behavior so the composer owns file
drops without turning the whole thread into a competing drop target.
- Added clearer attachment upload feedback for non-image files and
image-drop stability coverage.
- Hardened markdown editor and markdown body handling around HTML-like
tag regressions.
- Added `FoldCurtain` and wired it into issue descriptions and issue
documents so long markdown previews can expand/collapse.
- Added Storybook coverage for the fold curtain state.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/IssueChatThread.test.tsx
ui/src/components/MarkdownEditor.test.tsx
ui/src/components/MarkdownBody.test.tsx --config ui/vitest.config.ts`
passed: 3 files, 75 tests.
- `git diff --check public-gh/master..pap-2228-editor-composer-polish --
. ':(exclude)ui/storybook-static'` passed.
- Confirmed this PR does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml`.
## Risks
- Low-to-medium risk: this changes user-facing composer/drop behavior
and long markdown display.
- The fold curtain uses DOM measurement and `ResizeObserver`; reviewers
should check browser behavior for very long descriptions and documents.
- No database migrations.

## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex coding agent based on GPT-5, with shell, git, Paperclip
API, and GitHub CLI tool use in the local Paperclip workspace.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - Operators supervise that work through issues, comments, approvals,
and the board UI.
> - Some agent proposals need structured board/user decisions, not
hidden markdown conventions or heavyweight governed approvals.
> - Issue-thread interactions already provide a natural thread-native
surface for proposed tasks and questions.
> - This pull request extends that surface with request confirmations,
richer interaction cards, and agent/plugin/MCP helpers.
> - The benefit is that plan approvals and yes/no decisions become
explicit, auditable, and resumable without losing the single-issue
workflow.
## What Changed
- Added persisted issue-thread interactions for suggested tasks,
structured questions, and request confirmations.
- Added board UI cards for interaction review, selection, question
answers, and accept/reject confirmation flows.
- Added MCP and plugin SDK helpers for creating interaction cards from
agents/plugins.
- Updated agent wake instructions, onboarding assets, Paperclip skill
docs, and public docs to prefer structured confirmations for
issue-scoped decisions.
- Rebased the branch onto `public-gh/master` and renumbered branch
migrations to `0063` and `0064`; the idempotency migration uses `ADD
COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS` for old branch users.
## Verification
- `git diff --check public-gh/master..HEAD`
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts
packages/mcp-server/src/tools.test.ts
packages/shared/src/issue-thread-interactions.test.ts
ui/src/lib/issue-thread-interactions.test.ts

server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interaction-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interactions-service.test.ts
server/src/services/issue-thread-interactions.test.ts` -> 9 files / 79
tests passed
- `pnpm -r typecheck` -> passed, including `packages/db` migration
numbering check
## Risks
- Medium: this adds a new issue-thread interaction model across
db/shared/server/ui/plugin surfaces.
- Migration risk is reduced by placing this branch after current master
migrations (`0063`, `0064`) and making the idempotency column add
idempotent for users who applied the old branch numbering.
- UI interaction behavior is covered by component tests, but this PR
does not include browser screenshots.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents through issue checkout, heartbeat
runs, routines, and auditable control-plane state
> - The runtime path has to recover from lost local processes, transient
adapter failures, blocked dependencies, and routine coalescing without
stranding work
> - The existing branch carried several reliability fixes across
heartbeat scheduling, issue runtime controls, routine dispatch, and
operator-facing run state
> - These changes belong together because they share backend contracts,
migrations, and runtime status semantics
> - This pull request groups the control-plane/runtime slice so it can
merge independently from board UI polish and adapter sandbox work
> - The benefit is safer heartbeat recovery, clearer runtime controls,
and more predictable recurring execution behavior
## What Changed
- Adds bounded heartbeat retry scheduling, scheduled retry state, and
Codex transient failure recovery handling.
- Tightens heartbeat process recovery, blocker wake behavior, issue
comment wake handling, routine dispatch coalescing, and
activity/dashboard bounds.
- Adds runtime-control MCP tools and Paperclip skill docs for issue
workspace runtime management.
- Adds migrations `0061_lively_thor_girl.sql` and
`0062_routine_run_dispatch_fingerprint.sql`.
- Surfaces retry state in run ledger/agent UI and keeps related shared
types synchronized.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/routines-service.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run src/tools.test.ts` from `packages/mcp-server`
## Risks
- Medium risk: this touches heartbeat recovery and routine dispatch,
which are central execution paths.
- Migration order matters if split branches land out of order: merge
this PR before branches that assume the new runtime/routine fields.
- Runtime retry behavior should be watched in CI and in local operator
smoke tests because it changes how transient failures are resumed.

enabled. Exact hosted model build and context window are not exposed in

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - The board UI is the main operator surface, so its component and
workflow coverage needs to stay reviewable as the product grows.
> - This branch adds Storybook as a dedicated UI reference surface for
core Paperclip screens and interaction patterns.
> - That work spans Storybook infrastructure, app-level provider wiring,
and a large fixture set that can render real control-plane states
without a live backend.
> - The branch also expands coverage across agents, budgets, issues,
chat, dialogs, navigation, projects, and data visualization so future UI
changes have a concrete visual baseline.
> - This pull request packages that Storybook work on top of the latest
`master`, excludes the lockfile from the final diff per repo policy, and
fixes one fixture contract drift caught during verification.
> - The benefit is a single reviewable PR that adds broad UI
documentation and regression-surfacing coverage without losing the
existing branch work.
## What Changed
- Added Storybook 10 wiring for the UI package, including root scripts,
UI package scripts, Storybook config, preview wrappers, Tailwind
entrypoints, and setup docs.
- Added a large fixture-backed data source for Storybook so complex
board states can render without a live server.
- Added story suites covering foundations, status language,
control-plane surfaces, overview, UX labs, agent management, budget and
finance, forms and editors, issue management, navigation and layout,
chat and comments, data visualization, dialogs and modals, and
projects/goals/workspaces.
- Adjusted several UI components for Storybook parity so dialogs, menus,
keyboard shortcuts, budget markers, markdown editing, and related
surfaces render correctly in isolation.
- Rebasing work for PR assembly: replayed the branch onto current
`master`, removed `pnpm-lock.yaml` from the final PR diff, and aligned
the dashboard fixture with the current `DashboardSummary.runActivity`
API contract.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build-storybook`
- Manual diff audit after rebase: verified the PR no longer includes
`pnpm-lock.yaml` and now cleanly targets current `master`.
- Before/after UI note: before this branch there was no dedicated
Storybook surface for these Paperclip views; after this branch the local
Storybook build includes the new overview and domain story suites in
`ui/storybook-static`.
## Risks
- Large static fixture files can drift from shared types as dashboard
and UI contracts evolve; this PR already needed one fixture correction
for `runActivity`.
- Storybook bundle output includes some large chunks, so future growth
may need chunking work if build performance becomes an issue.
- Several component tweaks were made for isolated rendering parity, so
reviewers should spot-check key board surfaces against the live app
behavior.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-based coding agent in the Paperclip harness; exact
serving model ID is not exposed in-runtime to the agent.
- Tool-assisted workflow with terminal execution, git operations, local
typecheck/build verification, and GitHub CLI PR creation.
- Context window/reasoning mode not surfaced by the harness.
