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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Claude local adapter can run agent turns through an ACP (Agent
Client Protocol) server, `claude-agent-acp`, instead of the plain CLI
> - Two separate packages each pin their own copy of that dependency:
`packages/adapters/claude-local` (the server-side adapter) and
`packages/paperclip-runner` (which builds the provider pack baked into
every managed sandbox image)
> - `claude-local` moved to `^0.73.0` in #12730, but `paperclip-runner`
was never bumped past `0.70.0` — nothing keeps the two in sync when only
one changes
> - That split means a sandbox image built from `paperclip-runner`'s
provider pack ships a `claude-agent-acp` the server-side adapter was
never actually compatible with
> - This pull request bumps `paperclip-runner`'s pin to `0.73.0`, the
only version that satisfies both packages' declared ranges at once, and
fixes the matching hardcoded version assertion in
`docker/daytona-runner/Dockerfile`
> - The benefit is one consistent, compatible `claude-agent-acp` version
across both the server host and every sandbox image built from this
source, instead of a silent split that only surfaces as a runtime
failure
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists for this specific split; opening directly per
CONTRIBUTING.md path B, following the bug report template fields.
**What happened?**
`packages/paperclip-runner/package.json` pins
`@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp` at an exact `0.70.0`.
`packages/adapters/claude-local/package.json` requires `^0.73.0` (added
in #12730, 2026-09-02). Nobody re-synced `paperclip-runner`'s pin after
that change — the two packages' dependency graphs are independent, so a
bump in one doesn't propagate to the other. `paperclip-runner`'s copy is
what the fleet sandbox image's provider pack actually ships, so every
managed sandbox built from current source carries a `claude-agent-acp`
version the server-side adapter's own declared compatibility range
excludes.
**Expected behavior**
The two packages' `claude-agent-acp` pins should stay within a mutually
compatible range, so a sandbox image built from this source always ships
a version the server-side adapter actually supports.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Check `packages/adapters/claude-local/package.json`'s
`@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp` range (`^0.73.0`).
2. Check `packages/paperclip-runner/package.json`'s pin for the same
package (`0.70.0` before this PR).
3. Note that `^0.73.0` on a `0.x` version only admits patch releases
(`>=0.73.0 <0.74.0` per semver caret rules), so `0.70.0` falls outside
it.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` as of this PR (paperclip-runner still at `0.70.0` prior to this
change; claude-local's `^0.73.0` requirement landed in #12730).
**Deployment mode**
Any deployment that runs `claude_local` agents through the ACP engine
against a sandbox image built from `packages/paperclip-runner`'s
provider pack (managed cloud sandboxes in particular).
Related PRs for context (not duplicates — none of these touch
`paperclip-runner`'s pin):
- #12730 — introduced the `^0.73.0` requirement in `claude-local`
- #11873 — the last time `paperclip-runner`'s pin moved (`0.69.0` →
`0.70.0`)
- #13105 — separately made an unavailable ACP engine a hard failure
instead of a silent CLI fallback, which is what turned this version
split into a visible, run-blocking error rather than a quiet downgrade
## What Changed
- Bump `@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp` from `0.70.0` to `0.73.0`
(exact pin, matching this package's existing pin style for its other
agent-CLI dependencies) in `packages/paperclip-runner/package.json`.
- Update the corresponding hardcoded version assertion (`test
"$(claude-agent-acp --version)" = "0.70.0"`) in
`docker/daytona-runner/Dockerfile` to `0.73.0`, so its own build-time
check stays accurate instead of failing on the next build for an
unrelated reason.
- `pnpm-lock.yaml` is intentionally **not** included —
`pr-trusted.yml`'s `Validate dependency resolution and regenerate stale
lockfile` step already regenerates it for the merge tree and hands it to
downstream `--frozen-lockfile` jobs as an artifact, so a manual lockfile
commit here would just be stale the moment CI runs.
## Verification
- `0.73.0` is a real published version on npm (confirmed via `npm view
@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp versions`), and it's the *only*
version satisfying claude-local's `^0.73.0` range, so this isn't a guess
at compatibility — it's the unique intersection of both packages'
declared ranges.
- `grep -rn "0\.70\.0" docker/ packages/paperclip-runner/package.json`
after this change shows no remaining stale references to the old pin.
- I did not run a full local install/test pass against a hand-updated
lockfile, since regenerating one locally would conflict with leaving
`pnpm-lock.yaml` untouched per the note above; CI's own
lockfile-regeneration step is the intended verification path for a
manifest-only dependency bump like this one.
- Downstream/full verification (does a sandbox image actually built with
this pin work end-to-end) is tracked separately in `paperclip-cloud` —
an unrelated internal-only repo, so not linked here — where a sibling
fix restores the ACP servers to the runtime `PATH` in the fleet sandbox
image itself; both fixes are needed together for a working sandbox, but
this PR is scoped to the version pin alone.
## Risks
- Low risk: single-line dependency version bump plus a matching
test-assertion update, no code changes. `0.73.0` is a patch release
within claude-local's own already-declared-safe range, so there's no
reason to expect it changes behavior tenants depend on.
- The main risk is unknown breaking changes between `claude-agent-acp`
0.70.0 and 0.73.0 that aren't caught by the version-string assertion
alone (that check only confirms the binary reports the right version,
not that its behavior is unchanged). I have not audited that package's
own changelog between those versions.
- `docker/daytona-runner/Dockerfile` is a parallel/reference image (per
its own header comment, meant to stay aligned with the private
`paperclip-cloud/fleet-sandbox-image/Dockerfile`, which is out of scope
here) — this PR does not touch that other Dockerfile.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server coordinates issue execution and agent wake events
> - Queued comment mutations belong to the wake queue that owns their
state
> - Route-local database writes split queue rules across two layers

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

## Thinking Path

source.

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

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

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

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

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

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, context window not exposed by the runtime, with

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The heartbeat service releases deferred issue wakes and promotes the
next run
> - The release logic sat in a large service function, which made its
decisions and database effects hard to test

readers used a second transaction connection
> - This pull request moves the release logic into a layered wake-queue

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task controls coordinate provider execution and queued user
messages.
> - Stop could finish before an embedded ACP provider stopped its tools.
> - A later request could be held for reconciliation without a clear

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Stop could leave an embedded ACP provider running. A queued follow-up
followed by “go” could fail before it reached the provider. Task chat
could show a generic missing-response message. Even a restored session
could use the previous run's credential and fail its task update.
**Expected behavior**
Stop waits for confirmed provider termination. A later explicit wake
continues the same compatible session only when recorded actions have
known outcomes. It carries pending comments and the current run's
environment. Uncertain actions retain a visible reconciliation hold.
Composer Stop preserves the existing pause rule: conversation can
continue while paused, but task work requires Resume.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start an embedded ACP task.
2. Send a second request while the provider is running.
3. Interrupt the run, then send “go”. Also test composer Stop followed
by Resume work.
4. Check that the request is delivered once and that the provider can
complete the task through the current run's API credential.
5. Repeat with an unfinished write. Confirm that the write stops and
that further execution stays blocked with a visible reason.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Built from source on master at `3bc60dd8b` plus this branch.
**Deployment mode**
Local source build with an isolated embedded PostgreSQL instance.
Refs #11183. Refs #12552. Those changes address recovery after operator
cancellation. This change also covers embedded ACP termination, session
proof, pending-comment delivery, and task feedback.
## What Changed
- Propagate Stop into embedded ACP and wait for bounded adapter cleanup
and provider exit. Retain the actual ChildProcess object for forced
termination on all platforms; never signal a recycled numeric PID.
- Preserve interrupted checkpoints only for acknowledged, local,
persistent sessions with settled reads or no tools. Keep writes,
incomplete actions, and forced termination blocked.
- Restore the same compatible provider session with the current run's
environment. Reject fresh-session fallback for an interrupted
checkpoint.
- Adopt pending comments on the next explicit wake. Stop alone does not
dispatch them.
- Share the execution-blocker rule across dispatch, Resume, and task
detail. Show Stopped or Couldn't start with the recorded reason. Resolve
the stopped agent for the run link, including reviewer runs.
- Keep execution reconciliation holds intact when generic recovery sees
queued comments or healthy child tasks.
- Add process, service, component, and browser regression coverage. Fix
disposable database cleanup and React test settling exposed by the full
suite.
## Verification
- Passed `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and `pnpm
check:token-gates`.
- Passed all three `acp-stop-continuation.spec.ts` browser journeys.
They use an actual ACP child process and require task completion through
the agent API.
- Passed 165 adapter execution, operator-stop, and child-process control
tests, 17 queued-comment route tests, and 65 tests in the two adjusted
UI suites. Earlier focused recovery, heartbeat, and task-control tests
also passed.
- Manually used the browser to queue a request, Stop, send “go” while
paused, and Resume. The same session answered once and moved the task to
Done with the current run's credential.
- Manually interrupted an unfinished write. Its file size stayed fixed
for five seconds. “Go” showed the reconciliation reason and did not
start another provider prompt.
- Separate live Claude ACP smoke checks confirmed that Stop ended a
disposable local write and that a no-tool interruption could resume the
exact provider session. The browser fixture does not call Drive or
another external app.
- Passed all 5,615 UI tests and 3,090 other workspace tests. The CLI and
general server groups pass with targeted retries: two transient server
failures passed together on retry, and two embedded-database startup
failures passed after removing abandoned shared-memory segments from
this task's completed browser fixtures. All 144 serialized server suites
completed, with 2,189 tests passing after two transient HTTP socket
failures passed on retry.
- Passed all 135 heartbeat process/recovery tests, including a
deterministic regression that failed before the recovery-sweep fix.
- Passed 18 dispatch integration tests, including stopped-reviewer
links, company boundaries, and malformed run IDs.
- Greptile is 5/5 on `7dd170d83`, with zero unresolved review threads.
The security scan and all required CI gates pass for the same commit.
## Risks
- Safe continuation depends on complete tool reporting and a restorable
local provider session. Unknown outcomes remain blocked and require
reconciliation.
- Provider cleanup can take time. A timeout does not grant replay
permission.
- The change adds optional adapter context fields and an optional issue
projection. It does not change the database schema or require a
migration.
- Test cleanup truncates company data only in a disposable test
database.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-6, running as Codex with repository tools, code execution,
and browser interaction. The runtime does not expose a more specific
model deployment ID or context-window size.

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

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

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

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

shell execution, and test tools. The exact serving model identifier and

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

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip runs agents for people with different GitHub accounts.
> - Managed operations must use the intended person's eligible
connection.
> - A failed duplicate connection must not hide a healthy grant for the
same account.
> - Legacy hosts also need their existing Git configuration when managed
access is not configured.
> - Runner networking and local Git operations must not depend on GitHub
broker availability.
> - This pull request separates those policies and improves failure
diagnostics.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?** New runs always cleared host Git credentials and
installed managed launchers. Network permission depended on GitHub
environment variables. A launcher failure could stop even local `git
status`. A newer unhealthy duplicate could take precedence over a
healthy connection, and generic health errors were shown as reconnect
requirements.
**Expected behavior:** Use a healthy eligible managed connection for the
intended account. Preserve host authentication only for unconfigured
standard-trust local or SSH execution. Permit local Git during broker
failures and keep network permission independent of GitHub credentials.
**Steps to reproduce:** Configure healthy and unhealthy grants for one
GitHub account, dispatch an agent, and execute Git commands. Separately
run an unconfigured legacy host with existing GitHub CLI authentication.
Stop the broker and run local `git status`.
**Paperclip version or commit:** Master at 668110469. **Deployment
mode:** Self-hosted. **Installation method:** Git checkout. **Agent
adapters involved:** Native Codex runner and shared adapter execution
setup. **Database mode:** Existing instance database; no migration.
**Access context:** Responsible person's managed grant, or explicitly
unconfigured legacy host. **Node.js version:** 26.4.0 locally.
**Operating system:** macOS development and Linux execution hosts.
**Relevant logs or output:** Previously `GitHub credential context
unavailable` hid configuration, transport, and capability errors. New
diagnostics identify these categories without credential values.
**Additional context:** Refs #13005 and #13022. Dependency provisioning
is addressed separately in #13093.
## What Changed
- Prefer healthy eligible grants and retry credential acquisition once
for the same principal and account before starting an operation.
- Preserve host Git configuration only when managed access is
unconfigured on a standard-trust local or SSH target.
- Project authentication mode and validated Git metadata into native
runner boundaries; refresh resumed provider settings when modes change.
- Enable network access through an explicit standard-trust controller
decision, independently of GitHub. Omitted or restricted decisions stay
disabled; replace warm providers when that decision changes.
- Run local Git with cleared credentials when the managed broker fails,
with specific redacted diagnostics.
- Retry access-refresh conflicts once without treating concurrency as
expired authorization.
- Show retry instead of reconnect for transient GitHub health failures.
Add optional authorization and run-diagnostic fields without a database
migration.
## Verification
- All latest-head CI gates are green, including typecheck, general and
serialized suites, browser tests, canary, native runner verification,
and build. Greptile is 5/5 with no remaining findings; the security scan
passed.
- Full recursive typecheck and build passed. UI token gates passed.
- Full general server run: 7,110 passed, one transient socket hangup;
that file passed on retry. All remaining workspace groups passed,
including 5,552 UI and 478 CLI tests. The complete serialized rerun
passed all 144 suites / 2,179 tests after the initial isolated timeout
passed on retry.
- 195 final launcher and native session tests passed, including
host/managed transitions, local/remote warm network-policy changes,
broker rotation, and attempts to override validated controller
filesystem roots.
- GitHub gateway fallback, duplicate connection selection, refresh
conflicts, per-user reauthorization, and native transport/security
suites passed.
- Additional live native fixtures passed SSH public-key authentication
and a Git credential helper in fresh and resumed host-mode sessions. An
unwritable managed configuration directory preserved local Git (exit 0)
while GitHub CLI failed with `configuration_directory_unavailable` (exit
4). The temporary SSH listener and keys were removed.
- Applicable Rust suites passed except two timing failures under load;
each failed case passed in isolation. The final environment contract
test passed.
- Linux native runner acceptance passed in both managed and legacy host
modes: DNS, HTTPS, npm package download, fresh-worktree Git status,
authenticated GitHub user lookup, repository read, and a new run
continuing the same provider conversation. Managed broker outage
preserved local Git and rejected authenticated access without host
fallback.
- Matching Linux server/runner artifacts and the separate provisioning
repair are deployed to the development instance. A fresh UI-dispatched
task and a new run after a server restart both passed all six shell
checks through the live controller and credential broker. Both runs
selected the expected healthy connection/grant and retained the same
provider conversation. Neither connection was repaired or reconnected.
The sandbox roots are assigned from the validated execution-target probe
**after** ordinary bindings are merged. Regression coverage supplies
forged roots and verifies they cannot override the controller paths.
Networking is enabled only for an explicit
`PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_NETWORK_ACCESS=enabled` controller decision; omitted
values remain disabled.
## Risks
Unconfigured standard-trust local and SSH runs regain access to host Git
authentication resources. Managed, sandbox, plugin, and low-trust runs
do not gain this fallback. Revoked managed access never falls back to
another account. Deploy server and runner artifacts together;
already-started operations retain their captured identity. An
unauthenticated command can still fail when it requires GitHub access.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with code editing, shell execution, tests,
and browser inspection. The exact model variant and context-window size
are not exposed in this session.

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

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

extended thinking, tool use, and code execution wrote most commits.
`claude-opus-4-8` wrote the toggle, texts, wizard, and idempotency

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

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

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

Resolve unset Claude models to Opus 5 across CLI and ACP execution, preserve explicit and provider-specific overrides, and show the default in agent configuration.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server heartbeat service dispatches scheduled retries and queued
runs.
> - The service kept policy decisions and database writes in one large
file.
> - This layout made policy branches harder to test and transaction
boundaries harder to inspect.
> - This pull request moves the policy rules and database transactions
into a run-dispatch module.
> - The benefit is a smaller service, pure policy tests, and clear
transaction ownership.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The server heartbeat service promotes scheduled retries and cancels
stale queued runs.
**Subsystem affected**
server/ — REST API and orchestration services.
**Current behavior**
The heartbeat service contains the policy rules and the database writes
for these dispatch paths.
**Proposed behavior**
A run-dispatch module owns pure policy functions and semantic database
transactions. The public service contracts stay unchanged.
**Reason and benefit**
The new layout separates branch rules from database effects. It makes
each policy branch easier to test and keeps each operation’s row writes
in one transaction.
**Breaking changes**
None. The public service contracts stay unchanged.
## What Changed
- Move scheduled-retry promotion and queued-run staleness rules into
pure functions.
- Add table-driven unit tests for each policy branch.
- Move promotion and cancellation writes into semantic transactions.
- Keep row locking, company isolation, and post-commit effects
unchanged.
## Verification
- `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs` passes.
- `tsc --noEmit` from `server/` reports no errors.
- The focused server test command passes 228 tests in six files.
- Full pull request CI passes.
- Greptile reports 5/5, and all review threads are resolved.
## Risks
The main risk concerns changed transaction boundaries in scheduled-retry
promotion and queued-run cancellation. The focused tests retain coverage
for locking, transactionality, company isolation, and transport
contracts. The public service contracts do not change.
## Model Used
Codex, GPT-5, with code execution and tool use. The context window is
not provided by the runtime.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The board selects a company before it loads that company's inbox and
tasks.
> - Instance administrators can list companies where they have no
membership.
> - The board treated that directory as a list of companies the user
could enter.

rejects their access.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#6090. Refs #4855 for the related account-recovery case; this PR
does not grant company membership.
**What happened?**
An instance administrator can select a company where they have no
membership. Its inbox then shows “User does not have access to this
company.” Company directory visibility and access to company contents
use different rules.
**Expected behavior**
Company navigation should show only companies the current user can
enter. A stored selection for an inaccessible company should fall back
to an accessible company. A direct link to an inaccessible company
should use the existing unavailable-company page.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create Company A and Company B with separate owners.
2. Sign in as an instance administrator who belongs only to Company A.
3. Select Company B through a stored selection or a link with its
prefix.
4. Observe that the board accepts the company selection, but
company-scoped requests return 403.
Related: #10524 lets cloud users enter additional companies where they
hold memberships. This fix preserves that access and excludes companies
where they have no membership.
## What Changed
- Added `scope=accessible` to `GET /api/companies`, using the existing
`hasCompanyAccess` predicate.
- Changed the board navigation list to request that scope. Instance
Access uses a separate unscoped, account-keyed directory so
administrators can manage all companies. Membership edits refresh
navigation.
- Reject empty, unknown, and repeated scope values with 400. Directory
loading errors offer a retry before access controls are shown.
- Added route tests for cloud, session, board-key, local trusted,
non-member, and agent access.
- Added client and component tests for navigation/admin request
isolation, grants outside the navigation list, self-membership refresh,
directory failure recovery, and forbidden administration.
- Updated the API guide and OpenAPI document.
## Verification
- Latest commit: 36 focused UI tests passed. The broader UI shard passed
all 281 files / 2,533 tests after correcting an asynchronous test
assertion.
- Server authorization and OpenAPI regression suites: 31 tests passed.
- UI typecheck and `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`: passed after review fixes.
- Full local test runner: exercised the supported shards. Several
unrelated suites hit embedded PostgreSQL startup failures or startup
timeouts under local load. The UI regression issue found in the broad
run was corrected and its full UI shard passed. These local limitations
are not reported as a green full-suite result.
- [GitHub
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34233416473):
all checks green on `4e1698cd4` — all server and workspace test shards,
all browser end-to-end shards, typecheck/release registry, build, canary
dry run, policy, and Docker context integrity. Security checks also
passed.
- Greptile: 5/5 on the latest commit; both initial findings addressed
and all review threads resolved.
## Risks
- The UI now excludes companies visible only through instance
administrator status. Company membership continues to control access to
contents.
- Additional companies with active memberships remain available.
- The client and server changes must ship together. An older server
ignores the new query parameter and retains the previous behavior.
- No database migration or permission grant changes.
## Model Used
- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository inspection,
code editing, and test execution. The exact served model identifier and
context window are not exposed in this session.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - GitHub connections give agents access to approved repositories.
> - One GitHub identity can use installations across several
organizations.
> - The permissions page linked to one installation and showed an
unfiltered list.
> - Users could not easily find another organization or inspect a large
selection.
> - This change adds account filtering, search, and access configuration
links.
> - Users can inspect repository access in one compact view.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12993. Related repository-catalog work in #11228 and #11234 was
checked. This change only improves the existing GitHub connection
permissions page.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The GitHub connection permissions page and its repository display
metadata.
**Current behavior**
The page links directly to an existing installation. The repository list
has no account filter, search, height limit, or private-repository
marker. Refresh access occupies a separate section.
**Proposed behavior**
Show all authorized repositories by default. Filter by account or
organization and search by name. Open GitHub's account chooser to
configure access across organizations. Show GitHub icons and
private-repository locks. Keep refresh beside configuration and limit
the visible list to about ten rows.
**Reason and benefit**
Users can find repositories across organizations and configure missing
access without creating another GitHub identity. Large repository lists
no longer fill the page.
**Breaking changes**
None. Repository display metadata gains an optional private flag. Older
snapshots remain valid and gain the flag after access refresh. No SQL
migration is required.
## What Changed
- Add an All accounts view, account filter, search, and empty states.
- Link both configuration controls to GitHub's app account chooser.
- Place an accessible refresh icon beside the configuration button.
- Keep the repository heading and list in one section.
- Add GitHub icons and private-repository locks.
- Cap the scrollable list at ten rows using a design token.
- Persist GitHub's private flag only when the provider returns a
boolean.
- Recover missing legacy app configuration from GitHub installation
metadata.
- Update tests and the GitHub connection runbook.
## Verification
- Focused tests passed: 54 permissions-page tests and four GitHub
metadata tests.
- UI and server typechecks passed before submission. Token gates passed.
- Browser checks verified account filtering, search, empty results, and
the configuration destination.
- The live list contained 40 repositories. Its final height was 272
pixels, which fits ten single-line rows with gaps. Scrolling retained
all rows.
- A live access refresh populated 30 private-repository lock icons from
GitHub metadata.
- Full workspace typecheck and build passed. The broad local suite
stopped in the general-server group with 18 failed files. Failures
include macOS temporary-path handling and embedded PostgreSQL startup.
That run also overlapped the legacy fix and retained a stale GitHub
module; the final focused run passed all 58 tests. Clean-runner CI is
tracked separately.
- Latest-head review is 5/5 with the legacy chooser finding resolved.
All CI checks passed on commit
`0ff2b63f348f5c87d8b7df6e43388f60f5d872d9`, including build, typecheck,
all test shards, browser tests, and canary dry run.
## Risks
- Older repository snapshots lack visibility metadata until refreshed.
Unknown visibility does not display a lock.
- The account filter lists authorized installation owners. Users add
other organizations through GitHub's chooser.
- Filtering changes only the displayed list. GitHub remains
authoritative for repository access.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-6 (`gpt-6-astra`) via Codex. Reasoning, code execution, and
browser tools were used. The exact context window size was not exposed.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - GitHub connections give agents an account with selected repository
access.
> - Fresh local instances enroll with production Paperclip Cloud.
> - Enrollment could finish while the GitHub OAuth profile remained
disabled.
> - Setup then switched to a personal access token form without
explanation.
> - This change preserves sign-in intent and shows the connected account
and repositories.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related: #12907, #12943, #12947. Existing open GitHub connection work
was checked. No duplicate was found.
**What happened?**
After Cloud enrollment, a fresh test-drive asked for a GitHub key.
Production did not advertise the managed GitHub profile. Staging did.
The permissions page also omitted the authenticated username and
repository names.
**Expected behavior**
Continue with GitHub OAuth when available. Explain unavailable sign-in
and allow retry otherwise. Show the GitHub username and complete
accessible repository list.
**Steps to reproduce**
Start a fresh test-drive. Choose GitHub and complete instance enrollment
while the Cloud GitHub profile is disabled. Open an existing GitHub
connection's permissions page.
## What Changed
- Preserve managed sign-in intent when the gallery omits its profile.
- Refresh the selected gallery entry on retry without resetting the
audience.
- Fetch all pages of GitHub installations and repositories.
- Store only repository IDs, full names, and installation IDs in grant
metadata.
- Show the GitHub username, repository list, management link, and
refresh action.
- Discard the repository snapshot after newer installation lifecycle
events. Preserve snapshots verified after delayed events.
- Lock and re-read grant metadata when applying installation events or
saving refreshed access. Patch only webhook fields for other events.
Reject snapshots if access changed during the external fetch, using
unique access revisions even when timestamps collide.
- Show repository installation recovery for managed OAuth even when the
app also offers an advanced PAT method.
- Update tests and the GitHub connection runbook. No SQL migration is
required.
## Verification
- Local typecheck, build, and token gates passed. All latest-head CI
gates passed, including the complete test matrix and browser suites.
Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved findings.
- All 382 focused setup, permissions, metadata, service, and webhook
tests passed across final runs. One socket-hang-up test passed on rerun
with the full service suite. Final service, metadata, and webhook checks
passed all 230 tests.
- The broad local suite was stopped after failures. Seven
workspace-runtime exposure and control-conflict failures reproduce on
base commit `54a99d884`. The broad run also overlapped local iteration;
final focused tests and clean-checkout CI are tracked separately.
- Browser: a fresh production-backed instance completed enrollment,
retried after profile enablement, reached GitHub consent, recovered from
a missing installation, and completed OAuth.
- Browser: the permissions page showed the authenticated username and
the selected private test repository. A real `get_me` call returned the
same account. Reading the selected repository passed; reading an
unselected private repository failed with 404.
- Browser: a second fresh instance completed enrollment and OAuth
without a PAT form or unavailable state. Its username and repository
list survived reload and refresh. A real get_me call on the final code
returned the displayed account.
## Risks
- Repository names are now stored in company-scoped grant metadata and
shown with that credential. They are display data, not authorization
data.
- Large selections require more GitHub API calls. A failed later page
rejects the refresh rather than reporting a partial list.
- Older grants and webhook-invalidated snapshots require Refresh access
to load the list.
- Cloud profile enablement is separate deployment configuration. This PR
does not change OAuth scopes or GitHub App permissions.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip runs AI agents through qualified provider backends.

for every matrix cell.
> - The workflow reinstalled the packed Runner with npm.
> - That install discarded pnpm patches and selected provider

requires.

the real deployment layout, and makes direct evals exercise the
production runtime-context contract.
> - The benefit is that live eval cells reach their provider turn with
the same artifacts and context contract that Paperclip qualified.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs: #12931
**What happened?**
The full direct live eval campaign failed every ACPX cell during
`session.open`. The portable runtime had an incorrect dependency root.
Its npm install also discarded the qualified ACP server patches.
AgentCore cells first failed because Runner enforced
`aws-agentcore-harness-v1` while the provisioned stack and eval profile
use `aws-agentcore-harness-context-v2`; after aligning that revision,
the direct eval CLI still omitted the required v3 runtime context.
**Expected behavior**
The direct eval runtime must preserve the frozen pnpm dependency graph
and patched provider bytes. Runner, server validation, OpenAPI, and the
deployed AgentCore stack must use one qualification revision. Direct
eval attempts must supply the same immutable native runtime-context
contract as production.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Dispatch `Runner Direct Live Protocol Evals` from `master`.
2. Select an ACPX Claude, ACPX Codex, or AgentCore roster.
3. Observe a pre-turn provider bootstrap failure.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`d96452db059338b329b458ba8fe359fef72f1363`
**Deployment mode**
GitHub Actions on the RunsOn Linux x64 fleet.
## What Changed
- Build the reusable direct-eval runtime with `pnpm deploy --prod`.
- Resolve ACPX dependencies from the actual scoped-package layout of a
self-contained pnpm deployment.
- Align AgentCore configuration and qualification checks on
`aws-agentcore-harness-context-v2`.
- Materialize a minimal immutable v3 runtime context for each isolated
direct eval attempt.
- Add workflow, package-authority, runtime-context, Rust, and server
regression coverage.
- Document the qualified packaging, runtime-context, and AgentCore
revision contracts.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts` (70 tests)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/cli/eval-session-contract.test.ts` (14 tests)
- Focused Runner contract tests (36 tests)
- Focused server profile tests (47 tests)
- Focused Rust managed-provider and native-selector tests (19 tests)
- `node --test
packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/runner-protocol-eval-workflow-security.test.mjs`
- `actionlint .github/workflows/runner-protocol-live-evals.yml`
- A local `pnpm deploy --prod` produced both qualified ACP server
digests.
- A Linux reproduction of the first follow-up smoke identified the real
deployment root and the missing AgentCore runtime context.
## Risks
The AgentCore revision change rejects profiles that still use the
obsolete v1 value. This is intentional because the provisioned
context-aware harness and current eval profile use v2. Direct eval
prompts now receive the same fixed runtime-context preamble as
production, so behavior scores may move; that is the intended
qualification surface. The workflow package layout changes, but tests
assert the new entrypoint and dependency root. This change does not
modify the browser full-stack E2E workflow.

## Thinking Path
> - Daytona preserves a stopped sandbox filesystem, but deleting or
replacing a sandbox removes its only remote copy.
> - Warm reuse therefore improves latency but cannot be Paperclip's
durability boundary.
> - The host execution workspace must remain authoritative after every
successful turn, while same-run recovery must avoid overwriting
unexported remote work.
> - Result proposal, workspace export/merge, and terminal completion
need a durable, replayable ordering so a crash never starts a duplicate
provider turn.
> - A paid browser acceptance suite must exercise both legacy Codex and
Runner Codex for three real turns on one continuously warm Daytona
sandbox.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12901.
Runner Codex did not previously export successful Daytona workspace
changes back to the authoritative host workspace. That made warm reuse
depend on Daytona's remote filesystem and left deleted/replacement
sandboxes without a reliable reconstruction path. The existing paid
fixture also lacked a focused three-turn continuity case for both Codex
adapters.
## What Changed
- Persist versioned, atomic native workspace-sync descriptors and
durable seeds in `PAPERCLIP_HOME`, without credentials or a database
migration.
- Classify fresh, warm, replacement, and same-run-recovery workspace
preparation explicitly; ambiguous lease/root/digest evidence fails
closed.
- Finalize native workspace export/merge after semantic result proposal
and before run completion, with idempotent replay that never submits a
second provider turn.
- Surface legacy Codex workspace restoration failures instead of masking
them, while preserving an earlier provider error when both fail.
- Keep healthy reusable Daytona leases warm for legacy and native
adapters, stamp finalized workspace generations, and retain existing
cleanup behavior for per-turn or unhealthy leases.
- Preserve Runner Codex's provider process/session across warm turns,
including bounded post-terminal tail draining and exact authority
rotation.
- Add the exact paid `daytona-warm-continuity` matrix:
- `legacy-codex × daytona × warm-three-turn`
- `runner-codex × daytona × warm-three-turn`
- Drive all three turns through the browser, verify ordered file
continuity and stable lease/workspace/runtime identities, capture
per-turn timings, and delete the sandbox immediately after assertions.
- Document `pnpm test:e2e:runner -- --suite daytona-warm-continuity`; no
package script was added.
## Verification
- `pnpm typecheck` — passed, including migration safety (no migration
added)
- Focused server/runner Vitest coverage — 144 passed
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit` — 114 passed
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck` — passed
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:codex` — 66 passed,
1 helper ignored
- `native-session-executor.test.ts` — 139 passed, including safe
fail-closed cleanup after remote runner identity capture failure
- Paid local browser acceptance, exact post-rebase Linux/amd64 runner
binary:
- Runner Codex — passed in 1.7m; 3 runs; lease outcomes `created,
resumed, resumed`; 10/10 matchers; cleanup passed
- Legacy Codex — passed in 2.7m; 3 runs; lease outcomes `created,
resumed, resumed`; 10/10 matchers; cleanup passed

against `7da42a91b95fa7fb2df126668ef7e37afb3b2b9d` — passed 2/2:
- Runner Codex — 3 runs; lease outcomes `created, resumed, resumed`;
evidence and cleanup passed
- Legacy Codex — 3 runs; lease outcomes `created, resumed, resumed`;
evidence and cleanup passed
- Merge/enforcement, S3 history, and Pages publication jobs passed
- Paid result artifacts were scanned for both provider credentials;
neither secret was present.
- Current PR checks — 31 passed, 1 expected Storybook skip; Greptile
5/5; Superagent security scan passed
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed
- Confirmed no `package.json`, lockfile, migration, or SQL changes.
## Risks
- Workspace synchronization now sits on the terminal-success path, so a
remote export failure deliberately prevents false success. Retryable
state retains its lease/seed; loss of the only unexported remote copy
fails closed.
- Warm provider reuse has strict identity and quiescence checks.
Mismatched or ambiguous evidence blocks reuse rather than risking
concurrent provider work.
- The paid suite incurs Daytona and Codex cost only in the existing
protected scheduled/manual workflow and explicitly destroys its sandbox
after each cell.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5 agentic reasoning, repository inspection, real
browser E2E execution, Rust/TypeScript test execution, and GitHub
Actions diagnostics.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Managed GitHub connections resolve a responsible user's or dedicated
agent's identity into an audited, run-scoped credential projection.
> - An enrolled instance could retain a hidden managed setup method
after Cloud stopped advertising it, producing a blank, disabled setup
step.
> - Native runner processes also dropped the resolved GitHub projection
before the provider shell, so `gh` and Git could not use the selected
identity in Daytona.
> - Daytona already provides the outer isolation boundary. Applying
Codex's inner Linux sandbox there both duplicated containment and failed
because nested user namespaces are unavailable.
> - This change repairs setup fallback, carries only the bounded GitHub
projection across each runner boundary, and allows only a
controller-selected managed sandbox transport to act as the outer
sandbox.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
An enrolled self-hosted instance could show a blank GitHub setup step
when its managed profile was unavailable. Separately, a native Codex run
in Daytona could resolve a managed GitHub connection on the Paperclip
host but lose it before the provider shell. Once projected, Codex's
nested sandbox failed before commands could run because Daytona does not
expose the user-namespace operation used by the inner sandbox.
**Expected behavior**
Setup must select an advertised customer method when the managed method
is unavailable. A Daytona run must receive the exact managed GitHub
identity selected for that run, support `gh` and HTTPS Git, and rely on
Daytona as its outer sandbox without weakening local or SSH execution.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Enroll a self-hosted instance while Cloud does not advertise the
managed GitHub profile and open GitHub setup.
2. Observe the blank second step and disabled action.
3. Configure a native Codex agent with a Daytona environment and a
responsible-user GitHub grant.
4. Run `gh api user` or HTTPS Git from the agent shell.
5. Observe missing GitHub environment projection or nested-sandbox
startup failure.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The setup bug reproduces on `1dceee9a4`; the runner proof was developed
from the same branch and verified at the latest head below.
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted Paperclip enrolled with Paperclip Cloud, using the Daytona
sandbox-provider plugin and native Paperclip runner.
## What Changed
- Wait for connector enrollment hydration, retain a hidden managed
method only while enrollment is needed, and otherwise select an
advertised customer fallback.
- Add a single bounded GitHub credential-environment projection for
`GH_TOKEN`, `GITHUB_TOKEN`, the process-only Git helper token, GitHub
commit identity, and at most 32 controller-generated Git config entries.
- Forward that projection through the durable controller, Codex
app-server transport, and Rust provider child without placing token
values in arguments or config.
- Allow Codex shell inheritance only for the exact projected GitHub keys
and enable provider network access only when the managed credential
exists.
- Derive outer-sandbox authority exclusively from a managed `sandbox`
transport; strip the same flag from configured, host, local, and SSH
environments.
- Define a named external-sandbox permission profile that Codex resolves
to `dangerFullAccess` for default-mode Daytona turns while plan mode
remains read-only.
- Add regression tests for setup fallback, credential projection,
local/SSH/sandbox authority separation, provider forwarding, and
permission-profile selection.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/pages/apps/AppsConnect.test.tsx` — 96
passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run src/drivers/codex/codex-security-config.test.ts
src/drivers/codex/app-server-transport.test.ts
src/control-plane/durable-prp-control-plane.test.ts` from
`packages/paperclip-runner` — 31 passed.
- Focused native-session executor tests — 3 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `cargo test --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml --locked -p
paperclip-runner-core --lib` — 194 passed.
- Real Codex app-server configuration probe accepted
`paperclip-runner-external-sandbox` and reported
`sandbox.type=\"dangerFullAccess\"` while using the named profile.
- [Signed Daytona image
workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33995270328)
built commit `86571f7997e7100e47bd131aac1f1e773112a0ce`; the isolated
environment was pinned to
`sha256:ecef21105f8de382d75787e59439d936be239b77ae74a31c8ed3a17cde39b023`.
- Live isolated Daytona proof passed: the three projected token
variables were non-empty and equal; the host-scoped Git credential
helper returned the same token without printing it; `gh api user`
resolved `cryppadotta`; authenticated `git ls-remote
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip.git HEAD` returned
`1dceee9a4e75b13456760bb54c752deb2dba1d79`; no repository mutation
occurred.
- The persisted 28,476-byte run log contains no GitHub token shape,
bearer header, credential-bearing URL, or private-key marker.
- Latest-head pull-request CI and reviews provide the remaining
full-suite gate.
## Risks
- This deliberately gives shell Git and `gh` access to the run's
resolved GitHub identity. It is the audited class-3 behavior required by
the GitHub connection design and is outside per-tool Ask-first controls.
- The credential source is the trusted broker projection, which
overwrites configured environment values. The helper is scoped to HTTPS
`github.com`, revalidates protocol and host, and never places its token
in command arguments, URLs, or files.
- Managed Daytona sandboxes become the containment boundary for
default-mode provider commands. Local and SSH targets retain the inner
Codex workspace sandbox, and plan mode remains read-only everywhere.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip manages AI agent work and the execution state for each
task.
> - Remote agents run in sandbox environments such as Daytona.
> - Daytona keeps files while a sandbox is stopped, but deletion removes
those files.
> - Runner Codex did not copy successful remote workspace changes back
to the host workspace.
> - A warm sandbox could therefore hide data loss until Daytona replaced
or deleted the sandbox.
> - This pull request makes the host workspace durable after every
successful turn and keeps verified reusable sandboxes warm.
> - The benefit is reliable multi-turn work across warm reuse, restart,
stop, and sandbox replacement.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A successful native Codex turn in Daytona could leave workspace changes
only in the remote sandbox. A later warm turn appeared to work because
it reused that filesystem. A replacement sandbox could start from stale
host data and lose the successful changes.
**Expected behavior**
Paperclip must merge each successful remote turn into the authoritative
host workspace before it completes the run. A verified warm lease may
reuse its remote files. A replacement lease must reconstruct the exact
durable workspace seed.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run Codex in a reusable Daytona environment.
2. Write a file during one successful turn.
3. Replace the Daytona sandbox before the next turn.
4. Observe that the next turn can start without the prior file on the
unpatched code.
Related remote workspace foundation: #10070.
## What Changed
- Added explicit `host_current`, `durable_seed`, and `adopt_remote`
workspace preparation modes.
- Added atomic, versioned native workspace descriptors and seed archives
under `PAPERCLIP_HOME`.
- Added real native sandbox export and three-way host merge before
terminal result completion.
- Added workspace-only recovery after a proposed result. Recovery does
not submit another provider turn or consume the provider retry budget.
- Added fail-closed handling when a sandbox with unexported changes is
gone.
- Kept healthy reusable Daytona sandboxes started for legacy Codex and
Runner Codex.
- Kept the Runner Codex process and provider session across verified
warm turns.
- Added the paid `daytona-warm-continuity` browser suite. It contains
exactly the legacy Codex and Runner Codex cells. Each cell performs
three measured turns.
- Documented `pnpm test:e2e:runner -- --suite daytona-warm-continuity`.
No package script was added.
- Added no database migration. The metadata format is backward
compatible and idempotent.
## Verification
- `pnpm typecheck`
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit` — 114 passed
- Native workspace, finalizer, session, and environment tests — 232
passed
- Daytona provider tests — 150 passed
- Workspace staging and merge tests — 98 passed
- Runner transport tests — 63 passed
- Legacy Codex restore tests — 5 passed
- Rust format and compile checks pass through root typecheck
- The paid Daytona suite was not run locally because the required
Daytona, OpenAI, and immutable image credentials are not present.
## Risks
- The main risk is an incorrect workspace identity or merge after a
crash. Durable descriptors bind the run, workspace, lease, provider
lease, local root, remote root, and baseline digest. Ambiguous evidence
fails closed.
- The host merge may conflict with concurrent host edits. The existing
three-way merge and exclusion rules handle this case and surface
failures.
- A deleted sandbox cannot recover unexported bytes. Paperclip now
blocks with `workspace_sync_out_unrecoverable` instead of reporting
success or rerunning the provider.
- There is no database migration. Descriptor writes and recovery are
atomic and idempotent.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5. The run used agentic reasoning, repository
inspection, code execution, test execution, Git, and GitHub CLI tools.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent authentication uses server sessions, plugin workers, and
browser login panels.
> - A page reload loses an active login session, and one worker permits
only one login terminal.
> - These limits cause lost work and prevent two owners from logging in
through one worker.
> - This pull request lets the browser resume active sessions and lets
workers serve concurrent login terminals.
> - The benefit is reliable login recovery with a bounded process-wide
route limit.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
It improves agent credential login recovery and concurrent login
terminal handling.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (multiple of the above).
**Current behavior**
A page reload loses the active login session. A shared plugin worker
rejects a second login terminal.
**Proposed behavior**
The browser reads and resumes the owner's active session. A worker
supports multiple login terminal routes under a process-wide ceiling.
**Reason and benefit**
Owners keep login progress after a reload. Two owners can log in through
one worker without removing the route limit.
**Breaking changes**
None. The change adds owner-scoped read routes and changes login
terminal concurrency.
## What Changed
- Replace the single worker login route with maps keyed by host route
and worker session identifiers.
- Add a process-wide login route ceiling and release each reserved slot
on every exit path.
- Add owner-scoped active-session reads with consistent negative
responses and private cache control.
- Keep the device-login prompt while the session has an active public
status.
- Add a durable setup-token cancel fallback for a lost in-memory
session.
- Resume active sessions when the agent configuration or onboarding
panel mounts.
- Remove routine unmount cancellation and keep explicit Cancel behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclip/server test` — server route, service, and
plugin-worker-manager suites.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclip/plugin-sdk test` — worker RPC host suite.
- `cd ui && npx vitest run
src/components/AgentConfigForm.render.test.tsx
src/components/OnboardingWizard.test.tsx`.
- `cd ui && npx tsc -b`.
- `tests/e2e/onboarding.spec.ts` — reload during login.
- CI must pass on this pull request.
## Risks
The change affects agent authentication and the sandbox-to-host
boundary. Route cleanup must release every reserved slot. Owner checks
must prevent cross-owner session access. Tests cover route cleanup,
owner scope, reload recovery, and concurrent worker routes.
## Model Used
Codex, OpenAI GPT-5, tool use and code review support. The
implementation author owns the exact model details for the code changes.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server recovery service monitors active runs and applies
watchdog decisions
> - The watchdog rules and database operations lived in one large
recovery service
> - This structure made the rules harder to test and made company
scoping harder to inspect
> - This pull request moves the watchdog into domain, application, and
adapter layers
> - The benefit is a smaller recovery service, pure policy tests, and
clear company-scoped ports
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The active-run output watchdog that detects silence, suppression, and
terminal evidence.
**Current behavior**
The recovery service contains the watchdog policy, use cases, database
operations, and process control in one file.
**Proposed behavior**
A feature module separates pure policy, use cases and ports, and
Postgres and process adapters. The recovery service delegates its public
watchdog methods to this module.
**Reason and benefit**
The separation makes policy decisions easy to test. Company identifiers
on every reader and writer port make tenant scope clear. Smaller service
methods reduce change risk.
**Breaking changes**
None. The recovery service keeps its public methods and call sites.
Related public watchdog work includes
[#7043](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/7043) and
[#7770](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/7770).
## What Changed
- Add the `server/src/modules/active-run-watchdog/` feature module with
domain, application, and adapter layers.
- Move watchdog policy, use cases, Postgres access, and local process
control into the module.
- Keep the recovery service public methods and delegate them to the
module.
- Add 53 pure module test cases and retain 8 Postgres integration cases.
- Add company scoping and transaction rollback coverage.
## Verification
- Run `vitest run --config vitest.config.ts src/modules` and confirm 3
files and 53 cases pass.
- Run `vitest run --config vitest.config.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-active-run-output-watchdog.test.ts` and confirm
1 file and 8 cases pass.
- Run the full server suite in pull request CI.
- Compare the type-check result with a fresh baseline on the same
checkout.
## Risks
The main risk is a behavior change in recovery decisions during the move
across layers. The pure policy tests cover the moved rules. The
integration tests cover database behavior, company scope, and
transaction rollback. Pull request CI runs the full server suite.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, runtime-managed context window, tool use, code
execution, and repository review support.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app that people use to manage AI agents
for work.
> - Connections give agents access to external services with a selected
credential identity.
> - A removed connection keeps its database row so Paperclip can retain
its history.
> - A fresh GitHub setup can select a different identity from the
removed connection.
> - The retained row incorrectly kept its old credential policy after
that new selection.
> - The GitHub callback then could not save the new grant and returned
the user to setup.
> - This pull request applies the explicit identity selection when
Paperclip revives an archived row.
> - The benefit is a successful GitHub reconnect after the user changes
from a dedicated agent account to a personal account.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
After a user removed a dedicated-agent GitHub connection, a fresh setup
with “My GitHub account” returned to the setup page with `oauth=failed`.
The Cloud claim succeeded, but the local connection still used the old
`per_agent` policy.
**Expected behavior**
A fresh setup must apply the explicit identity choice. An interrupted
draft or an explicit reconnect must keep its existing identity.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Connect GitHub with a dedicated agent identity.
2. Remove the connection.
3. Start a fresh GitHub connection with “My GitHub account.”
4. Complete GitHub OAuth.
5. Observe that Paperclip returns to the setup page instead of the
permissions page.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`342c01fee`
**Deployment mode**
Local dev (`pnpm dev`) with embedded Postgres and the staging managed
connector.
**Additional context**
This follows the GitHub access UI change in #12893.
## What Changed
- Apply an explicit Access identity when a fresh gallery setup revives
an archived connection row.
- Preserve the identity for interrupted drafts and explicit reconnects.
- Do not carry credential material across an identity change.
- Apply the omitted organization default during a fresh archived-row
recovery.
- Restore the prior grants and credential policy transactionally if a
revived setup rolls back.
- Disable the connection and surface a specific failure if that
restoration cannot complete.
- Preserve newer concurrent grant changes with a row lock and optimistic
version check.
- Preserve newer concurrent connection identity/configuration changes
with a locked state fingerprint.
- Add regressions for dedicated-to-personal OAuth, organization-default
recovery, rollback, rollback failure, and concurrent grant/connection
changes.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts` — 222 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- Browser proof on an isolated local instance: dedicated connection
removed, personal setup selected, staging GitHub OAuth completed,
permissions page opened, connection reported active and healthy,
personal grant active, old agent grant revoked.
## Risks
- Low migration risk. This change has no schema migration.
- The behavior changes only when a fresh setup explicitly selects an
identity for an archived connection row.
- Existing draft resume and explicit reconnect behavior stays unchanged.
- Connection-manager checks still protect changes to a retained
credential identity.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server test suite checks issue-thread interaction routes
> - Shared Vitest mocks can keep queued one-shot values between tests
> - A leftover value can change the issue returned to a route and cause
a false authorization failure
> - This pull request resets all mocks and restores the plain
run-attribution value before each test
> - The benefit is stable interaction-route tests that do not depend on
test order
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This pull request has no public issue link. The bug details follow.
**What happened?**
The interaction-route server test suite failed intermittently in
continuous integration. The test named `lets a watchdog-scoped assignee
withdraw through ordinary containment` sometimes failed because
`withdrawInteraction` received no call. The test suite used
`vi.clearAllMocks()`, which clears call history but does not clear
queued one-shot mock values. A queued value from
`mockIssueService.getById` could change a later test's issue and make
the route return `403`.
**Expected behavior**
Each test must start with empty mock queues and the default
run-attribution value. Test results must not depend on test order.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the interaction-route test file many times in sequence.
2. Run the same file with shuffled test seeds.
3. Observe the intermittent containment failure before this change.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Current `master` plus commit `8cd56b38a77f1feecac495f57a48d3f0a1b3b01c`.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source. The failure occurs in the server test suite.
## What Changed
- Replace the partial mock reset with `vi.resetAllMocks()`.
- Reset `mockRunAttribution.value` before each test.
- Keep the change within the interaction-route test file.
## Verification
- The target suite passes 77 of 77 runs.
- The test count remains 64 `it(...)` sites, including five
`it.each(...)` blocks that expand to 77 runs.
- The file contains no skipped or focused tests.
- The diff changes no production code.
- A defect-detection round trip reproduces the failure when the
containment guard is broken and passes after the guard is restored.
- Ten sequential runs and five shuffled-seed runs pass 77 of 77.
## Risks
Low risk. The change affects test setup only. It does not change
production code or route behavior.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5, exact runtime model `gpt-5`, tool use and code execution,
context window not exposed by the runtime.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server test suite checks issue comment and cancellation routes.
> - The comment-cancel route suite reloaded about 40 modules before
every test.
> - Repeated module reloads created a race between service mocks and
real services.
> - The race caused an HTTP 500 when the test expected HTTP 200.
> - This pull request loads the mocked module graph once for the suite.
> - The benefit is stable route tests with clearer diagnostics for
future failures.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The comment-cancel route test suite failed intermittently in continuous
integration with an HTTP 500 where the test expected HTTP 200. The suite
reset modules and re-imported the route graph before every test. A
re-import could bind the real service module to the test's minimal fake
database and cause a `TypeError`.
**Expected behavior**
The suite must run all seven route tests without intermittent HTTP 500
responses. A future server error must show its underlying cause in the
test output.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-comment-cancel-routes.test.ts`.
2. Repeat the test command under continuous integration load.
3. Compare the result with a run that reloads the route module graph
before every test.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`0a6a7087ed6c3bb1cadf59fcfec362d6fc9a6d14`
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with the server test runner.
**Installation method**
Built from source.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core test issue).
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Access context**
Unclear / not applicable.
**Additional context**
The route module and error-handler middleware remain real. The service
layer remains mocked. Authorization and non-leakage assertions remain
unchanged.
## What Changed
- Register mocks once and load the route module graph once through
`hoistModuleGraph`.
- Remove the per-test module reset and re-import.
- Add a `res.on("finish")` diagnostic listener for server error context.
- Keep all seven test titles and the existing authorization assertions.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-comment-cancel-routes.test.ts`.
- Confirm that all seven tests pass.
- Confirm that the full continuous integration suite passes on this pull
request.
## Risks
Low risk. This change modifies one test file and does not change
production code or test coverage. The local worktree cannot start this
suite because it lacks `packages/adapters/droid-local`; continuous
integration must verify the complete repository dependency set.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5. The model used repository tools, GitHub tools, and
code review reasoning. The execution context window is not exposed by
the runtime.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Approval routes use server tests to protect access and idempotency
behavior
> - The approval routes test suite loaded mocked modules at the same
time
> - Concurrent module loading could lose a service mock and produce a
false test failure
> - This pull request loads the shared module graph once and reuses it
across the suite
> - The benefit is stable approval route tests with unchanged coverage
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The approval routes test suite loaded two mocked modules in one
concurrent import. A module interleaving could remove the approval
service mock. The route then returned HTTP 404 instead of the expected
HTTP 403.
**Expected behavior**
The suite must keep the approval service mock when it loads the route
modules. The access test must return HTTP 403 on every run.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/approval-routes-idempotency.test.ts`.
2. Repeat the test command while the test runner loads the module graph.
3. Observe a false HTTP 404 result when the module mock interleaves.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Current `master` at the base commit of this pull request.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with the server test runner.
## What Changed
- Reused the existing `hoistModuleGraph` helper for the approval route
modules.
- Loaded the route modules once in sequence instead of in one concurrent
import.
- Kept per-test mock behavior, Express app setup, database doubles, test
names, and assertions unchanged.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/approval-routes-idempotency.test.ts` — 11 of 11
tests passed.
- Ten repeat runs passed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server` produced no new errors against the base
branch.
- All Paperclip CI checks passed.
- Greptile reported 5/5 with no open findings.
## Risks
This change affects test module setup only. It does not change
production code or test coverage. Risk is low.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with the `gpt-5` model family. The serving snapshot and
context-window size are not exposed. The agent used reasoning,
repository tools, code execution, and test execution.

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12843.
Companion Cloud change:
[paperclipai/paperclip-cloud#391](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/pull/391).
## What Changed
- Made `stage=setup` authoritative during initial route hydration and
enrollment return.
- Added a contained one-time enrollment screen with provider-specific
copy.
- Accepted a provider `authorizationUrl` from Paperclip Cloud only when
it matches the exact GitHub or Google OAuth endpoint.
- Preferred the direct provider URL while retaining the legacy
confirmation URL fallback.
- Preserved the company-bound identity and agent-access draft across the
full-page enrollment callback, including cold company-context hydration.
- Kept GitHub defaulted to “My GitHub account” and “Any agent,”
including before Cloud advertises the managed method.
- Updated GitHub identity and agent-access copy for responsible-person
and dedicated-agent behavior.
- Labeled the provider action “Continue to GitHub.”
- Added parser, routing, cold-hydration, access-restoration, visibility,
fallback, defaults, and copy tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/paperclip-cloud-connector.test.ts
ui/src/pages/apps/AppsConnect.test.tsx` (114 tests passed)
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- Live browser proof used a new data directory on `127.0.0.1:3117` and
the exact Cloud PR revision on staging.
- The fresh flow selected “My GitHub account” and “Any agent,” showed
one enrollment approval, returned to local step 2, and connected GitHub
without a second Paperclip confirmation or login.
- The connected screen showed one selected repository, a long-lived
token, installation metadata, a successful access refresh, and healthy
webhook delivery.
- Gmail on the same instance went directly to Google consent without
another Paperclip approval.
- Restarting the same data directory preserved enrollment. A second new
data directory required exactly one new approval.
- A final fresh-data-dir rerun selected a dedicated GitHub identity for
Ada before enrollment, approved the instance once, returned to step 2,
retained Ada after a Back check, connected directly through GitHub, and
finished with “Used only by Ada,” one selected repository, and a
long-lived token.
- Port 3100 remained untouched throughout the proof.
## Risks
- The new Cloud field is additive and restricted to the exact GitHub and
Google OAuth origins and paths, with no embedded credentials or URL
fragment.
- An older Cloud response still works through `confirmationUrl`.
- A self-hosted instance still requires one signed Cloud enrollment.
Managed Cloud instances do not render the enrollment screen.
- Provider authentication and consent remain mandatory after instance
enrollment.
- No schema migration is included in this pull request.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - The runner executes agent turns on local and remote providers.
> - A remote per-turn session must save its state before Paperclip
releases its sandbox.
> - The session runtime returned after 100 milliseconds while the remote
checkpoint still ran.
> - The next turn also checked the local state path instead of the
verified remote backup.
> - This pull request waits for the bounded remote close and accepts
only a verified suspended backup.
> - The benefit is reliable multi-turn execution without weaker identity
checks.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A successful remote agent turn released its sandbox before the runner
saved the verified continuation backup. The next turn failed with
`runner_state_identity_mismatch`.
**Expected behavior**
Paperclip must finish the bounded remote checkpoint before it releases
the sandbox. A later turn must validate and restore the digest-matched
suspended backup.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a native ACPX Claude Plan test in a non-reusable Daytona sandbox.
2. Reject the first plan to start a second turn.
3. Observe that the second turn fails before provider execution.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The failure reproduced at `13775a90b078ff64872f50961ea1b83d575e7bc6`.
**Deployment mode**
GitHub Actions with a Daytona sandbox.
## What Changed
- Wait for the internally bounded remote runner close and checkpoint
before the host returns.
- Preserve the existing short cleanup bound for other providers.
- Validate remote continuation lifecycle from a complete digest-verified
backup when local runner state is absent.
- Keep corrupt, non-suspended, mismatched, and unverified state
fail-closed.
- Make native Plan completion and accepted-Plan wake prompts
deterministic.
## Verification
- A prior 45-cell local campaign passed 44 cells. The only failure was
the OpenCode Plan prompt variance fixed here.
- A focused OpenCode local Plan rerun passed.
- ACPX Claude Daytona message and question cells passed.
- Focused regressions cover delayed checkpoint close and verified remote
backup lifecycle.
- GitHub Build and the focused ACPX Claude Daytona Plan cell will
validate this exact head.
## Risks
Remote runnerd sessions now wait for their internally bounded
close/checkpoint path before returning; generic provider cleanup retains
the existing 100 millisecond bound. Durable run success still cannot be
reversed. The environment release guard still blocks sandbox destruction
when no verified backup stamp exists.

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5.6, extended reasoning, with code execution and
GitHub Actions inspection.

work

an agent's dedicated identity

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue describes this connection change. This
description follows the feature request template.
**Subsystem affected**
Connected Apps, connection grants, secret resolution, native Git runtime
setup, webhook processing, and the Apps UI.
**Problem or motivation**
Users need to connect GitHub once and let agents use the correct GitHub
identity. A run should use a dedicated agent account when one exists.
Otherwise, it should use the responsible person's account. The
connection must survive token expiry, repository access changes, and
temporary instance downtime.
**Proposed solution**
Add user-owned and agent-owned GitHub grants to the existing connection
model. Resolve one identity for MCP, Git, `gh`, health checks, and
webhook bindings. Store provider tokens in the existing encrypted secret
system. Refresh expiring token pairs under the existing lease and
compare-and-swap path. Register signed Cloud webhook bindings and
process normalized pull request and installation events through a
durable local inbox.
**Alternatives considered**
An organization-wide GitHub token would lose person and agent
attribution. Environment variables alone would bypass the managed
connection and grant model. A new GitHub-only credential store would
duplicate the existing secret and access systems. GitHub App
installation tokens and private-key custody remain outside this first
version.
**Roadmap alignment**
This change implements the Connected Apps direction. It also extends the
shipped MCP Tool Gateway, per-agent secret access, and
action-attribution systems. It does not add a repository catalog. The
open repository catalog work in
[#11234](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/11234) is related
and complementary.
## What Changed
- Added agent-owned connection grants and a per-agent credential policy
with company and subject constraints.
- Added a managed GitHub App method while keeping the personal access
token method as an advanced fallback.
- Added durable access-token and refresh-token handling with proactive
rotation and one automatic recovery after a provider `401`.
- Added GitHub identity and installation summaries without storing
repository-name lists.
- Added signed Cloud webhook binding, event lease, acknowledgement,
local idempotency, pull request merge processing, and installation
access handling.
- Added one identity resolver for MCP, native Git, `gh`, checkout,
health checks, and webhook bindings.
- Added a class-3 run projection for `GH_TOKEN`, `GITHUB_TOKEN`, a
`github.com`-only credential helper, SSH-to-HTTPS rewrite, and GitHub
noreply commit attribution.
- Added personal and dedicated-agent setup choices plus identity,
repository, continuity, and webhook status in the Apps UI.
- Added schema migrations, tests, and connection documentation.
## Verification
- The current head is fully green in GitHub CI, including build,
typecheck, all serialized/general server shards, all browser shards,
policy, canary dry run, review, and security checks.
- Live staging proof completed with a non-expiring GitHub App user
token, selected-repository installation, repository add/remove refresh,
managed MCP, native `gh`, HTTPS clone/push/delete, GitHub noreply commit
attribution, signed merged-PR webhook acceptance, durable
Cloud-to-instance delivery, and installation-access event processing.
Temporary branches and temporary repository access were removed
afterward.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed before and after the rebase onto
`origin/master`.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- The focused connector suite passed 285 tests after the rebase.
- The full stable suite passed 5,790 tests and failed 22 tests across 8
general server files. The failures reproduced as shared-runner
environment issues. They included `/tmp` versus `/private/tmp`, closed
database connections, and invalid high ephemeral ports. The focused
connection tests pass in isolation.
## Risks
- Migrations add agent grant subjects and a durable connection-event
inbox. Migration numbering and safety checks pass.
- A raw GitHub user token enters the agent process for Git and `gh`.
Per-tool Ask-first controls cannot limit those shell operations. The UI
warns users about this boundary.
- GitHub App user tokens can be non-expiring. Paperclip performs a
continuity check every 30 days, but provider revocation still requires a
reconnect.
- The webhook path accepts only signed and bounded payloads. It stores a
minimal normalized record and no raw provider payload.
- GitHub repository permissions remain authoritative. Removed access can
make a cached repository count temporarily stale, but runtime access
fails immediately.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Runner owns durable provider sessions and streams their
work to the control plane.
> - Pull request #12845 added native restart recovery for live and dead
local runners.
> - A real browser test found three live-adoption gaps after that pull
request merged.
> - Lazy runner process ownership was not always stored before restart.
> - The old controller did not release its PRP authority without closing
the provider turn.
> - Reconnect events could arrive before the active provider turn was
restored.
> - This pull request closes those gaps and proves the same turn
completes after a UI hot restart.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12845
Related search results: #12646 covers indeterminate command results
after a runner restart. It does not cover controller adoption or
active-turn rebinding. No open duplicate pull request was found.
## What Changed
- Store lazy runnerd process ownership after provider session creation,
read, and resume.
- Detach native PRP controller authority during coordinated hot
shutdown. Keep the live provider turn running.
- Restore the exact checkpointed provider session when bounded PRP
identity events have been compacted.
- Restore the active provider turn before reconnect events are replayed.
This prevents `turn_binding_mismatch`.
- Keep exact live ownership by the current controller out of generic
orphan recovery.
- Add driver, transport, and server regression tests for these paths.
## Verification
- Ran 12 Codex driver lifecycle tests.
- Ran 53 runnerd transport tests.
- Ran 143 recovery and orphan-reaper server tests.
- Ran all 8 real-process restart recovery scenarios.
- Ran all 96 existing runner E2E unit tests.
- Ran runner TypeScript typecheck.
- Ran server TypeScript typecheck.
- Ran the migration replay test and migration safety checks.
- Tested the board UI on an isolated local instance. A real local
Codex-backed turn entered a 120-second terminal wait. The UI `Restart
now` action replaced the server and kept the same runner PID, process
start time, run ID, native session ID, runner ID, provider session ID,
and active turn. The original turn then completed.
- Confirmed one heartbeat run, no retry row, one result, one
proposed-result event, one terminal event, no protocol errors, no active
recovery state, and no surviving runner or provider process.
## Risks
- A live runner can continue provider work while no server owns the
control route. Recovery fails closed when the process fingerprint or
durable identity is ambiguous.
- Provider identity can be restored from the database only for an exact
verified adoption claim. An authenticated live `session.snapshot`
validates that identity before the driver can resume.
- The new detach path applies only to native sessions that expose
restart detachment. Other adapters keep their existing shutdown
behavior.
- This follow-up does not change the database migration or
`package.json`. The migration in #12845 remains replay-safe through `ADD
COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS` and its embedded-Postgres idempotence test. The
dedicated real-process command remains in `doc/DEVELOPING.md`.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex based on GPT-5. The exact serving build and
context-window size are not exposed. The run used extended reasoning,
repository tools, shell execution, and in-app browser automation.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Paperclip Runner keeps durable run and provider state outside
one server process.
> - A server restart can leave that runner alive or can interrupt it
after a provider checkpoint.
> - The old startup path used handoff intent and PID evidence, but it
did not reconstruct native ownership.
> - That gap could block the issue, create a replacement run, or start
duplicate provider work.
> - This pull request adds durable same-run recovery for coordinated and
uncoordinated restarts.
> - The benefit is exact recovery of the run, runner, session, provider,
steering, and finalization state.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #9628. That pull request added earlier local-adapter hot-restart
work. This change adds native PRP authority reconstruction and same-run
provider resume.
Refs #10935. That pull request handles missing hot-restart snapshots.
This change also supports hard restarts with no snapshot.
Refs #11624. That pull request prevents unsafe retry after an adopted
legacy process exits. This change reconciles native terminal evidence
before provider recovery.
Refs #12070. That pull request improves process liveness checks. This
change also binds recovery to a process-start fingerprint and fails
closed on ambiguity.
**What happened?**
The server could record hot-restart intent, but startup did not rebuild
native runner ownership. A live runner could not re-register its PRP
authority. A dead runner could not resume the exact native and provider
session on the same heartbeat run. Generic recovery could then block the
issue or create replacement work.
**Expected behavior**
A live native runner must reconnect with the same PID and logical
identities. A dead runner must resume the same durable session and
heartbeat run with only a new operating-system PID. A proposed or
terminal result must finalize once before any provider turn starts.
Ambiguous process or session evidence must stay blocked without a signal
or duplicate spawn.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a Paperclip Runner heartbeat and wait for an active provider
turn.
2. Restart only the Paperclip server, with or without a hot-restart
marker.
3. Observe that the old startup path does not reconstruct the native
control-plane authority.
4. Kill both the server and runner after a provider checkpoint.
5. Observe that the old path cannot resume the exact native session on
the original heartbeat run.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The defect was reproduced from commit
`1991f31fd53e7f7794d5c2e4b93be384ade2b41d`. This branch is rebased onto
the current `master`.
**Deployment mode**
Local development and self-hosted server deployments that use the local
Paperclip Runner.
## What Changed
- Added correlated hot-restart requests and version-compatible native
handoff fields.
- Added controller boot identity, process-start identity, controller
generation, recovery state, request id, and bounded history to the
native finalization ledger.
- Added transactional recovery claims for live-runner reattach,
dead-runner resume, and incomplete bootstrap.
- Added fail-closed ownership takeover rules and process identity
validation.
- Added live runner adoption to the local runner transport without a
duplicate spawn.
- Added same-run provider checkpoint resume and legacy retry-row
compatibility.
- Reconciled proposed and terminal results before runner or provider
recovery.
- Bound the HTTP and PRP listener before startup recovery and delayed
scheduling and generic reapers until classification completes.
- Added restart-aware health diagnostics, run-log recovery transitions,
durable runner diagnostics, and bounded shutdown finalizer draining.
- Moved restart-survivable diagnostics into runner-owned, pre-redacted
bounded writes; raw stdout and stderr are never persisted.
- Added process-start fencing for controller, runner, and provider PIDs;
startup classifies every candidate without an implicit cap.
- Added crash-recoverable, contention-safe development restart-request
coordination and failed-startup listener cleanup.
- Added a credential-free real-process restart suite for eight restart,
scale, and identity scenarios.
- Documented native restart operation, persistence, diagnostics, and
verification.
## Verification
- The documented native restart commands passed. They ran eight
real-process/database recovery scenarios and the live runner adoption
transport test.
- Native executor tests passed: 111 tests.
- Heartbeat recovery tests passed: 124 tests.
- Hot restart, health, and shutdown tests passed: 52 tests.
- The broader affected server suite passed: 350 tests.
- Focused native recovery and startup tests passed: 49 tests.
- Runner transport and control-plane tests passed: 63 tests.
- Runner-owned diagnostic tests passed for write-time bounding,
credential redaction, private file modes, and raw stream
non-persistence.
- Development restart coordination tests passed: 11 tests.
- Database migration checks and the partial-application/replay
regression test passed.
- Server, database, and Paperclip Runner typechecks passed.
- `git diff --check` passed.
- Full Paperclip PR CI passed, including build, canary, all five general
server shards, all five serialized server shards, all three browser E2E
shards, workspace suites, and release-registry verification.
- Greptile completed at 5/5 with no outstanding findings,
recommendations, follow-ups, or open review threads.
## Risks
- Moderate risk. This changes startup ordering and ownership transfer
for active native runs.
- The migration adds nullable columns and does not rewrite existing
rows.
- Recovery fails closed when process or durable session identity is
incomplete or contradictory.
- The first implementation supports the local Paperclip Runner. Remote
targets keep their existing behavior.
- The real-process suite covers cleanup and asserts that no runner or
provider process survives each test.

Refs #12591.
**What happened?**
During an active run, a new follow-up could first appear as a transcript
bubble and then move into the steering queue. After a steer or remove
action, it could appear again. Progress text could also repeat the final
response text. Once consumed, a queued bubble displayed only its
original submission time even though it moved to its later causal slot,
and a native run split by steering looked like two unrelated runs.
**Expected behavior**
An active-run follow-up must appear in the queue immediately. A native
steer must move it once into the active run. A legacy interrupt must
move it once into the follow-up run. A removed item must stay removed.
Progress text that is identical to the final response must appear once.
Consumed follow-ups must show both queue and steer/delivery times, and
post-steer native segments must identify themselves as continuations of
the same run.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a long-running task.
2. Send two or more follow-up messages while the agent is active.
3. Reorder the messages and remove one message.
4. Send the first queued message as steering.
5. Observe the queue and transcript during and after both runs.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The problem reproduced on commit `da1e40302`.
**Deployment mode**
Local development with the embedded database.
## What Changed
- Project queued comments into the steering well for native and legacy
live runners.
- Send native steering to the active run and use interrupt-and-follow-up
for legacy runners.
- Keep optimistic queue order stable across refreshes and roll back
failed actions.
- Remove discarded comments from the transcript cache and keep them
removed when the queue becomes empty.
- Collapse only the final progress occurrence matching the durable
response, including across steered transcript segments.
- Show `Queued … · Steered …` for same-run input and `Queued … ·
Delivered …` for successor-run input at their causal positions.
- Label settled and live post-steer segments `Continued after steering`
and time them from the steer boundary.
- Add regression tests for queue display, steering, fallback interrupt,
reorder, remove, rollback, duplicate text, causal timestamps, and
live/settled continuation headers.
## Verification
- Ran the final focused steering/chronology UI suite with 233 passing
tests.
- Ran the activity-service regression suite with 5 passing tests.
- Ran the broader queue-focused UI suite with 298 passing tests before
the final chronology refinement.
- Ran `pnpm -r typecheck` successfully.
- Ran `pnpm build` successfully.
- Ran `pnpm check:token-gates` successfully.
- Tested native steering in a real browser with a 90-second baseline
wait and a three-second steering correction.
- Confirmed that the old final response did not appear before the
steered response.
- Tested three queued messages in a real browser.
- Confirmed that reorder changed delivery order and that the removed
message was never sent or shown again.
- Tested a legacy runner in a real browser.
- Confirmed that it used the interrupt fallback and showed the follow-up
once.
- Reloaded a saved mixed-steer/successor-run thread and confirmed the
causal timestamps and continuation header render in the correct
positions.
- The complete macOS suite reaches five unrelated platform assertions in
workspace-runtime tests. Two compare `/var` with `/private/var`. Three
require Linux `/proc` listener data. GitHub Actions provides the
authoritative Linux run.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change is limited to issue-chat queue projection and
transcript presentation.
- The server run-history API adds only a read-only `contextIssueId`
projection; the database schema does not change.
- Optimistic actions restore the prior UI state when a request fails.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex with GPT-5, extended reasoning, browser automation, shell
tools, and code execution.

**What happened?**
The structured-question restart test could time out after the
replacement server returned the task route and rendered the durable
pending interaction. A focused one-cell rerun passed the paid test but
failed aggregation because download-artifact v8 flattened its single
artifact.
**Expected behavior**
The test must prove that a new document loaded after the server restart
and that the same pending interaction survived. The aggregate must
accept the exact documented singleton download layout while it continues
to reject ambiguous or foreign artifacts.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the local ACPX-Codex structured-question restart-resume cell.
2. Restart the isolated server while the question waits for an answer.
3. Observe that the route and task UI can reload before Playwright
settles the navigation promise.
4. Run a paid campaign with one selected cell.
5. Observe download-artifact v8 extract the sole campaign directory
directly into the requested path.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The local campaign reproduced the navigation failure at
`3586956a1b794b3cb4a9c5f57ffb7355e2b0c46d`. The one-cell aggregate
reproduced the singleton layout at
`f487660c0a06ba06ca140b57386f21ed39f13120`. This fix is
`de4ccceff453a4b39436bf9a2eb8f03924151af7`.
**Deployment mode**
Local development and paid GitHub Actions.
**Installation method**
Built from source.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
ACPX-Codex. The Vite and aggregate fixes are provider-neutral.
## What Changed
- Prove a new post-restart browser document with an in-memory sentinel.
- Tolerate only Playwright's navigation timeout before the exact UI and
API checks run.
- Honor `PAPERCLIP_VITE_CACHE_DIR` in the embedded Vite server.
- Limit dependency optimization to the real UI entry.
- Run `vite.transformIndexHtml` for each request while caching only the
branded source template.
- Accept download-artifact v8's flattened layout only for one expected
cell with one unique recognized campaign.
- Keep source SHA, source ref, workflow URL, execution ID, attempt, and
unexpected-entry validation.
- Add focused positive and negative regressions for Vite rendering and
singleton artifact selection.
## Verification
- Exact 45-cell local campaign
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33888939013 passed
44/45. Its only failure was the post-restart navigation false negative
fixed here.
- Exact focused rerun
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33891207957 passed
the ACPX-Codex restart cell first attempt with the same session, two
durable runs, the terminal marker once, and cleanup complete.
- The focused Vite renderer suite passed 2/2 tests.
- The focused rerun-artifact selector suite passed 12/12 tests.
- Prettier and `git diff --check` passed.
- An exact-head 45-cell confirmation is pending.
## Risks
Low to medium risk. The Vite change restores known-green per-request
transforms and isolated cache behavior. It can affect all development UI
loads. The paid matrix and ordinary CI will verify that behavior. The
singleton selector remains fail-closed for ambiguous layouts and
validates every result source.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, `gpt-5.6-sol`, extended reasoning, tool use, code
execution, and parallel focused agents.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip records agent run outcomes through telemetry and run
lifecycle services
> - Terminal run transitions need one consistent event for outcome
analysis
> - The current paths do not report every terminal transition through
one event
> - This pull request adds the agent.task_run event and emits it at each
terminal transition
> - The benefit is complete run outcome data without exposing raw task
identifiers
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Paperclip telemetry reports agent activity, but it does not report every
terminal task run through one event.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (multiple of the above): packages/shared telemetry and
server run lifecycle services.
**Current behavior**
Several run paths write a terminal status without a matching
agent.task_run telemetry event.
**Proposed behavior**
Each terminal run transition emits one agent.task_run event. The event
records the terminal state and uses the existing pseudonym helper for
the optional task identifier.
**Reason and benefit**
Complete terminal-run data helps operators measure agent outcomes. The
pseudonym helper prevents the raw task identifier from leaving the
installation.
**Breaking changes**
None. The change adds an event and keeps existing event behavior
compatible.
## What Changed
- Add the agent.task_run telemetry contract and client helper.
- Reuse the existing pseudonym helper for the task identifier. The
helper hashes the identifier with a per-installation salt and returns 16
hexadecimal characters. The raw identifier never leaves the
installation. Existing identifiers do not move.
- Emit one event from each legacy, native, recovery, and issue terminal
transition.
- Keep emissions outside database transactions and make delivery
best-effort.
- Add regression tests for event shape, hashing, terminal transitions,
and emission failures.
- Document the event and its privacy rule in the telemetry data
contract.
## Verification
- `npx tsc --noEmit` in `server/` passes at the submitted commit.
- The pull-request CI suite must pass. CI is the authority because local
Vitest has a known dependency artifact.
- The added regression tests cover event output shape, per-installation
hash divergence, raw identifier handoff, omitted identifiers, and
non-throwing emits.
## Risks
- A missed terminal path could reduce event coverage.
- Telemetry delivery remains best-effort and cannot change run
finalization.
- The pseudonym helper uses installation-specific state, so identifiers
differ between installations.

integrity repair.
> - Verified JavaScript entrypoints lost their relative module graph

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12721 and #12700.
**What happened?**
The paid runner matrix failed ACPX and OpenCode startup before provider
session creation. The runner journal then replaced the original startup
error with an indeterminate recovery result. Native Codex saved a Plan
but rendered it only as a fallback card. A legacy Claude waiting reply
could also echo the reserved terminal marker before the answer arrived.
**Expected behavior**
Verified JavaScript providers must start from immutable
descriptor-backed artifacts. Returned startup failures must persist as
terminal failed command results. Native tool lifecycle updates must
preserve the `write_document` boundary. Pre-answer fixture output must
not contain the reserved terminal marker.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the local provider cells in the Runner Full-Stack E2E workflow.
2. Observe ACPX and OpenCode fail during `session.open` before provider
execution.
3. Observe recovery report `execution_indeterminate` instead of the
original startup error.
4. Run the native Codex Plan cell and observe the fallback Plan card
after the tool activity row.
5. Run the legacy Claude structured-question resume cell and observe an
early marker echo in waiting prose.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`0f9452101740835ce0b1488a204bf48acd5bafc3`
**Deployment mode**
Local development with the paid GitHub Actions acceptance workflow.
## What Changed
- Bundle the ACPX sidecar and OpenCode proxy as self-contained Node ESM
entrypoints before hashing and verified descriptor launch.
- Anchor ACPX dynamic provider package resolution at a
controller-derived provider-pack root and keep that root out of the
provider child environment.
- Persist executor-returned startup errors as redacted durable failed
command results while retaining indeterminate recovery for true process
death.
- Coalesce sparse native tool items by stable ID so a late
`write_document` name, input, and result reach the transcript boundary
once.
- Forbid the structured-question fixture from spelling or announcing its
reserved terminal marker before the user answers.
## Verification
- Rust and TypeScript regression tests cover durable failed replay, true
crash ambiguity, bundle closure, package-root derivation, environment
filtering, exact Codex tool lifecycle coalescing, and prompt
determinism.
- Local execution is intentionally limited to formatters and static diff
checks. GitHub Actions will run tests, type checks, builds, and security
checks.
- After ordinary CI is green, scoped paid cells will validate one ACPX
launch, one OpenCode launch, native Codex Plan projection, and legacy
Claude structured resume before a complete matrix rerun.
- Prior failing matrix:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33682434315
## Risks
- Bundling changes the bytes covered by provider launch hashes.
Provider-pack generation already hashes the final built files.
- ACPX still loads qualified provider packages dynamically. The
controller supplies a normalized package root, while existing version,
digest, path, and descriptor checks remain active.
- Durable `failed` is terminal. Replays return the same redacted result
and do not execute the provider effect twice.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent permissions control which agents can create or hire other
agents (`canCreateAgents`)
> - Today only CEO-role agents get this permission by default; every
other agent starts without it
> - Teams that want agents to delegate and build out their own teams
must flip the toggle on each hire, and most operators want delegation to
work out of the box
> - This pull request makes `canCreateAgents` default to enabled for new
standard-trust agents, while low-trust agents keep a disabled default
> - The benefit is that agent teams can grow without per-agent
permission toggling, while low-trust containment and checkout protection
stay intact
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related (not fixed by this PR): #8064 also decouples an authority from
`agents:create`.
**Subsystem affected**
Server agent permissions (`server/src/services/agent-permissions.ts`),
authorization (`server/src/services/authorization.ts`), the shared
`agentPermissionsSchema` validator, and the UI trust-preset helper.
**Problem or motivation**
New agents cannot hire other agents unless an operator enables
`canCreateAgents` on each one. Only CEO-role agents get the permission
by default. This blocks delegation-by-default workflows. Operators must
toggle the permission for every hire.
**Proposed solution**
Default `canCreateAgents` to `true` for newly created agents. Apply and
persist the default at creation only. Stored rows without an explicit
value stay fail-closed at read and enforcement time. Keep the default at
`false` when the agent's permissions record marks it low-trust (the
`low_trust_review` preset or a trust boundary). Explicit values always
win. Decouple `tasks:manage_active_checkouts` from `canCreateAgents` so
the default-on flag does not let a peer agent write over another agent's
checked-out issue.
**Alternatives considered**
Granting the default only at the route layer would leave stored rows and
enforcement out of sync. Keeping the checkout authority coupled to
`canCreateAgents` would void the active-checkout write protection once
the flag is default-on. A per-company setting adds configuration surface
without a clear need; explicit per-agent overrides already exist.
**Roadmap alignment**
Governance and trust-preset work already separates standard-trust from
low-trust agents. This change follows that line: capability by default
for standard trust, containment by default for low trust.
## What Changed
- `normalizeAgentPermissions` now takes a `create`/`stored` context.
Creation writes get the new default: enabled unless
`permissionsImplyLowTrust()` detects the low-trust review preset or a
trust boundary. Stored rows without an explicit value normalize to
disabled (fail-closed). The role parameter is gone.
- `agentPermissionsSchema` no longer injects `canCreateAgents: false`
when the field is omitted. The server-side default applies instead.
- `authorization.ts` normalizes raw agent rows for `agents:create`, so
enforcement matches what the API reports for legacy rows.
- `tasks:manage_active_checkouts` no longer rides on `canCreateAgents`.
CEO role, explicit grants, and the manager chain remain the paths.
- `agents:create` is denied outright inside any resolved low-trust
execution context (agent, project, issue, or run policy). The default-on
flag can never reach the legacy creator allow there.
- The UI trust-preset helper sets `canCreateAgents: false` when an agent
is switched to the low-trust preset, instead of carrying the old value
forward.
- `doc/CLI.md` describes the new default for `teams install`.
- Tests pin the default matrix (standard, low-trust, explicit overrides)
on the server and in the UI helper.
## Verification
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/agent-permissions-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/agent-permissions-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/low-trust-red-team-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/authorization-service.test.ts` — 143 tests pass.
- Broader sweep: 18 suites that touch `canCreateAgents` (hire,
pending-approval, teams catalog, portability, built-in agents,
plugin-managed agents) pass locally.
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/lib/trust-policy-ui.test.ts
src/components/TrustPresetSection.test.tsx src/pages/NewAgent.test.tsx
src/pages/Agents.test.tsx` — passes.
- Typecheck is clean for the changed files in `packages/shared`,
`server`, and `ui`.
## Risks
- Behavioral shift: agents created after this change persist
`canCreateAgents: true` unless low-trust. Pre-existing agents keep their
stored value. Legacy or malformed permission records without an explicit
value stay fail-closed at read and enforcement time; they never gain the
authority retroactively.
- Low-trust runs can no longer create agents at all, even when the agent
carries an explicit `canCreateAgents: true`. Before this change, that
combination could hire. The red-team suite and a new authorization test
pin the denial.
- Narrowing: a non-CEO agent with `canCreateAgents: true` loses implicit
`tasks:manage_active_checkouts`. The manager chain and explicit grants
still provide it. This narrowing is deliberate; without it, the
default-on flag would let any peer bypass active-checkout write
protection.
- No migrations. No API shape changes. Low-trust defaults are covered by
the red-team regression suite.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The recovery subsystem watches assigned issues and re-wakes an agent
whose run ended without finishing the work
> - Intake can hide a duplicate issue by setting `hiddenAt` while
leaving its status and assignee in place
> - The stranded-issue query and the terminal-run cleanup both ignore
`hiddenAt`, so a hidden issue is re-woken on every cycle
> - Nothing on the board shows the hidden issue, so the repeated wakes
have no visible cause
> - This pull request adds a hidden-issue guard to both predicates and a
test for each
> - The benefit is that hiding an issue stops recovery work on it, with
no other change in behavior for visible issues
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
When intake marks an issue as a duplicate it sets `hiddenAt` but leaves
the status at `todo` or `in_progress` with the agent still assigned. The
stranded-issue recovery timer selects that issue on every tick and
queues an `issue_continuation_needed` wake for it. The agent's run on
the hidden issue fails or is cancelled, the terminal-run cleanup queues
immediate recovery for the same issue, and the cycle repeats
indefinitely. Hidden issues are invisible on the board, so nothing a
person can see explains the wakes.
**Expected behavior**
A hidden issue is never a recovery candidate. Stranded-issue
reconciliation skips it, and a failed, timed-out or cancelled run on it
releases the issue without queuing a continuation.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Assign an issue to an agent and leave it `in_progress`.
2. Hide the issue (set `hiddenAt`, for example by marking it a duplicate
through intake) without changing its status or assignee.
3. Let a run on that issue fail, or wait for the stranded-issue recovery
timer.
4. Observe a new `issue_continuation_needed` heartbeat run queued for
the hidden issue on every cycle.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced on `master` when this PR was opened (May 2026). The two
predicates are unchanged on current `master`; this branch is rebased
onto it.
**Deployment mode**
Not deployment-specific: both guards are in the server's recovery and
heartbeat services and apply in every mode.
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/recovery/service.ts`: `isNull(issues.hiddenAt)`
added to the `reconcileStrandedAssignedIssues` candidate query, so
hidden issues never enter the stranded set.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`: `!issue.hiddenAt` added to
`issueNeedsImmediateRecovery`, so terminal-run cleanup releases a hidden
issue instead of queuing a continuation.
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts`: one test
per guard. A failed run on a hidden issue queues no recovery run, and a
hidden stranded issue is left out of reconciliation.
## Verification
- `heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` covers both guards; CI runs it
against embedded Postgres.
## Risks
Low. Both changes narrow an existing predicate to exclude rows that
already carry `hiddenAt`; visible issues take exactly the path they take
today. A hidden issue that genuinely needs recovery would have to be
unhidden first, which matches how hidden issues behave everywhere else
in the board.
## Model Used
The original two-line fix was authored by @im0xMagnus. The rebase onto
current `master`, the two regression tests, and this description were
produced with Claude (claude-fable-5-1, extended thinking, tool use)
driven by a Paperclip maintainer through Prospector's triage flow.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for companies that use AI agents.
> - Apps give humans and agents controlled access to external services.
> - The existing app detail flow split permissions, tests, setup, and
activity across separate pages.
> - The split made access rules harder to understand and made reconnect
work hard to find.
> - New write actions also defaulted to Ask first, which did not match
the intended connection policy.
> - This pull request combines permission control and action testing,
removes the setup page, and moves connection activity into Audit.
> - The benefit is one clear place to configure, test, reconnect, and
review each app.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The installed app Permissions, Test, Setup, and Activity views.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This change updates the React UI, shared app defaults,
server permission behavior, tests, smoke scripts, and connection
documentation.
**Current behavior**
App access and action testing use separate pages. The app detail view
also links to a setup page after installation. Connection activity uses
a separate tab. New write actions default to Ask first.
**Proposed behavior**
Permissions uses the connection access language from the initial flow.
It includes searchable Read and Write sections, a three-state permission
control, and a Test dialog for each action. Reconnect appears below a
Needs attention header on Permissions and Review. Old Setup and Test
links redirect to Permissions. Old Activity links redirect to the
filtered company Audit feed. New write actions default to Allowed.
**Reason and benefit**
A person can understand and test app access without moving between
several pages. Reconnect work stays visible where the person reviews the
connection. Audit events use one consistent feed and filter model. New
connections have the intended default policy.
**Breaking changes**
The Setup, Test, and app Activity tabs are removed. Existing deep links
redirect to their replacement pages. Existing saved action permissions
do not change. Only defaults for new write actions change.
**Additional context**
This builds on the managed app connection work in #12728. A search found
no duplicate open pull request or issue.
## What Changed
- Combined action testing with Permissions.
- Added searchable Read and Write action groups.
- Added Off, Ask first, and Allowed controls with tooltips.
- Added an action Test dialog with agent selection, arguments, and
formatted results.
- Removed the installed-app Setup and Activity tabs.
- Added reconnect guidance to Permissions and Review when a connection
needs attention.
- Routed connection activity into the company Audit feed and preserved
the Apps & tools filter in streamlined Audit.
- Moved connection removal to the Connectors-page management menu.
- Made new write actions default to Allowed across connection creation
paths.
- Updated regression tests, browser suites, smoke scripts, and
connection documentation.
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/app-definitions.test.ts

(96 tests passed)
- Targeted Playwright verification for connection removal, rename on
Permissions, inline action testing, and Smoke Lab Audit evidence (5
flows passed)
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm test:run` completed with 5,755 passing tests and 20 unrelated
macOS harness failures. The failures use `/tmp` versus `/private/tmp`,
invalid ports above 65535, and workspace fixtures outside this change.
## Risks
- Low migration risk. This change has no database migration.
- Old app-detail URLs depend on redirect compatibility.
- New connections grant write actions by default. Finalization remains
configure-authorized and audited, Ask first and Off remain available per
action, and existing connections keep their saved policy.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is an open-source app for managing AI agents
> - The issue history subsystem stores comments per issue, with
cursor-based pagination via the `after` query parameter
> - `GET /issues/:id/comments?after=<commentId>` looks up the anchor
comment by UUID to get its created_at timestamp
> - When agents store an incorrect or truncated comment ID (e.g.
`670427ab` instead of `670427ab-e0ae-4a54-959e-2b13a2e33d14`), Postgres
throws `invalid input syntax for type uuid` before the anchor-not-found
guard can execute
> - This surfaces as an unhandled 500 and causes agents to fail when
doing incremental comment reads on any issue
> - This pull request adds a UUID validation guard in `listComments`
using the already-imported `isUuidLike` helper
> - The benefit is that invalid cursors get a clean empty-array response
instead of a 500, matching what already happens when a valid UUID simply
isn't found
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #2612 (a different 500 on the same `after=` cursor path, fixed
earlier; this PR covers the malformed-cursor case that remains).
**What happened?**
`GET /issues/:id/comments?after=<value>` returns a 500 when `after` is
not a UUID. The route trims the query value and passes it straight to
the anchor lookup, so Postgres raises `invalid input syntax for type
uuid: "670427ab"` before the anchor-not-found guard can run. Any agent
that stored a truncated or malformed comment ID as its pagination cursor
gets stuck in a 500 loop on that issue.
**Expected behavior**
A cursor that cannot name a comment behaves like a cursor that names a
missing comment: the endpoint returns `[]`.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Pick any issue id on a running instance.
2. Call `GET /api/issues/<issue-id>/comments?after=670427ab` (8 hex
characters instead of a full UUID).
3. Observe a 500 with `PostgresError: invalid input syntax for type
uuid: "670427ab"`, where a full-but-unknown UUID such as
`00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000` returns `[]`.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at the time this PR was opened (June 2026). The `listComments`
anchor lookup in `server/src/services/issues.ts` is unchanged on current
`master`, so the failure still reproduces there.
**Deployment mode**
Local dev (`pnpm dev`). Not deployment-specific: the failure is in the
server's comment-listing service, so it reproduces in every mode.
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/issues.ts` — added `if
(!isUuidLike(afterCommentId)) return [];` guard in `listComments` before
the DB anchor lookup, using the already-imported `isUuidLike` helper
## Verification
```bash
# Start the dev server
pnpm dev
# Pass a truncated UUID — should return [] instead of 500
curl -s "http://localhost:3100/api/issues/<any-valid-issue-id>/comments?after=670427ab"
# Expected: []
# Pass a valid full UUID that doesn't exist — should also return []
curl -s "http://localhost:3100/api/issues/<any-valid-issue-id>/comments?after=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
# Expected: []
# Pass a valid full UUID that exists — should return comments after that cursor
curl -s "http://localhost:3100/api/issues/<any-valid-issue-id>/comments?after=<real-comment-uuid>"
# Expected: array of comments
```
## Risks
Low risk. The change only adds an early-return guard for values that are
provably invalid UUIDs. The code path for valid UUIDs is unchanged. The
existing behavior for anchor-not-found (returning `[]`) is preserved for
invalid UUIDs, which is the correct semantic (cursor not found → no
comments after it).

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The plugin worker manager runs agent plugin workers through duplex
channels.
> - The duplex buffered-replay tests check data that arrives before a
listener attaches.
> - The tests used a fixed 60 ms sleep as the barrier for worker output.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The duplex buffered-replay tests used a fixed 60 ms sleep before they
attached a data listener. Under load, worker output could arrive after
the sleep. The tests then saw a partial buffer and failed.
**Expected behavior**
The tests must wait until the worker sends all three data frames before
they inspect the pre-bind buffer.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run npx vitest run src/__tests__/plugin-worker-manager-duplex.test.ts
in the server package.
2. Add a 200 ms or 800 ms delay to the worker fixture emit path.
3. Repeat the test run and observe the old fixed-sleep barrier fail
intermittently.
**Paperclip version or commit**
b773f0f2e2
**Deployment mode**
Built from source. This change affects tests only.
## What Changed
- Replace the fixed sleep in both buffered-replay tests with an
exit-frame barrier.
- Write the three data frames and the exit frame in one worker output
write.
- Wait for the session to settle before the tests attach listeners.
- Keep the non-batch buffer-then-drain path and the throwing-listener
behavior.
- Remove the retry wrapper from the first test because the drain runs
synchronously.
## Verification
- Run npx vitest run src/__tests__/plugin-worker-manager-duplex.test.ts
in the server package.
- The full file passes 35 of 35 tests.
- Run the full file 15 times. All 15 runs pass.
- Test the new barrier with 200 ms and 800 ms worker-output delays. Both
tests pass.
- The server type check still reports 71 pre-existing errors in
native-runtime and paperclip-runner. No new error appears in the changed
test file.
- Search GitHub for duplicate or related public issues and pull
requests. No duplicate open item exists.
- Check ROADMAP.md. This test-only fix does not duplicate planned core
work.
## Risks
- This change affects test synchronization only.
- The test could become invalid if the worker stops sending the exit
frame. The session wait then fails instead of hiding the problem behind
a clock delay.
- No product code, database schema, or runtime behavior changes.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5, exact model ID gpt-5, API model with code execution and
tool use. The model used a 1M-token context window. No extended
reasoning mode was specified.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Apps let people give agents governed access to external providers
> - Paperclip Cloud brokers shared provider authorization for managed
stacks
> - The managed flow sent the browser through a confirmation page after

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A managed Paperclip Cloud connection opened the Cloud confirmation
route. A response-loss race could show an expired-session error while
the authorization still continued.
**Expected behavior**
The current Paperclip loading state must stay visible while the tenant
exchanges an opaque session. The browser must then open the provider
directly. Self-hosted and direct OAuth must keep their existing
behavior.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open Apps on a Paperclip Cloud stack.
2. Start a managed provider connection.
3. Select Continue to sign in.
4. Observe that the browser visits the Cloud confirmation route before
it reaches the provider.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`b872cd3d1b404bdaff70af493a2973ceb7e5d6ec`
**Deployment mode**
Paperclip Cloud hosted stack.
No related open issue or pull request was found in the repository
search.
## What Changed
- Add a backward-compatible opaque Cloud handoff to the shared OAuth
start contract.
- Validate the Cloud descriptor on the server and expose no
browser-selected endpoint.
- Exchange managed handoffs through one fixed same-origin route in every
Apps OAuth launcher.
- Keep dialog popups reserved before asynchronous work and retain the
tenant loading state.
- Add recent-login resume storage, bounded retry behavior, terminal
tenant errors, tests, and Storybook states.
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- Focused connector and UI suites: 184 passed and 202 skipped.
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm build-storybook`
- The full local suite reached one unrelated macOS path-alias failure.
The untouched test expected `/var/...` and received the equivalent
`/private/var/...`. The same test reproduces in isolation.
## Risks
- A malformed managed descriptor now fails closed in Paperclip instead
of opening a URL.
- A legacy Cloud deployment can omit the descriptor. Paperclip then uses
the existing validated confirmation URL.
- Direct provider OAuth and self-hosted flows do not receive a handoff
and remain unchanged.
- Rollback is a normal revert of this commit because the contract is
optional and backward compatible.

graph before each test
> - Two concurrent module imports could bind a route to the real service

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The instance settings route suite failed intermittently under CPU
contention. A request that expected a 200 or 403 response sometimes
received 500. The failing test changed between runs.
**Expected behavior**
The suite must use the configured service mocks for every test and must
produce the expected response on every run.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts` many times in
parallel on a busy host.
2. Compare the result with the same command on the base branch.
3. Observe intermittent 500 responses on the base branch and stable
results on this branch.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit `02ae87010e621cf46bfbdf0d48b6f73887448a83`.
**Deployment mode**
Local dev (`pnpm dev`). The change affects tests only.
**Installation method**
Built from source.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core bug).
**Database mode**
Not database-related. The test uses a mocked database layer.
**Access context**
Not applicable.
**Node.js version**
The CI environment runs the repository-supported Node.js version.
**Operating system**
Linux in continuous integration.
**Relevant logs or output**
The base branch reproduced `expected 500 to be 200` and `expected 500 to
be 403` under parallel contention.
**Relevant config (if applicable)**
Not applicable.
**Additional context**
The branch loads the mocked module graph once per suite, restores mock
behavior before each test, waits for the real transaction events, and
sends the DELETE request after the POST holds the transition queue.
## What Changed
- Load the mocked instance settings module graph once for the suite.
- Restore each mock implementation before every test.
- Wait for two real transaction events instead of a fixed 30 millisecond
delay.
- Send the overlapping DELETE request after the POST proves that it
holds the transition queue.
- Keep the test count at 48 with no skipped tests.
## Verification
- Run `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts`.
- Confirm that all 48 tests pass.
- Run the 20-way parallel contention differential.
- Confirm that the base arm passed 18 of 20 runs and reproduced two
failures.
- Confirm that the branch arm passed 20 of 20 runs, with 48 tests in
each run.
- Confirm that `git status --porcelain` is clean at the submitted
commit.
## Risks
Low risk. The change affects one test file and does not change
production code, route behavior, database schema, or public API

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server manages runtime exposure and host port leases for
workspace services
> - This test suite used fixed host port pairs inside the Linux
ephemeral port range
> - An unrelated short-lived socket could take one pair and cause a
false test failure
> - This pull request selects free host port pairs at run time and
starts above the low lease lane
> - The benefit is a more stable test suite with the same deterministic
allocator checks
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The runtime exposure reservation test suite used two fixed app and HMR
port pairs. These ports sit inside the Linux ephemeral port range. An
unrelated socket could use a pair during the test, and the guest bind
could fail with `EADDRINUSE`.
**Expected behavior**
The suite must select two free app and HMR port pairs before each test.
It must avoid the low lease lane that a live instance can own without a
listener.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime-exposure-reservation.test.ts`.
2. Start another process that briefly uses one fixed test port.
3. Observe that the guest bind can fail even when the allocator works
correctly.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`c982003e00f4e8a325bafec3af4ddb113c0c1f8a`
**Deployment mode**
Local dev test run.
**Installation method**
Built from source with pnpm.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific. This change tests the runtime exposure allocator.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
## What Changed
- Select two free app and HMR port pairs in `beforeEach`.
- Start the scan 500 ports above the runtime exposure range minimum.
- Keep the synthetic host stub limited to the selected pairs.
- Keep all seven test cases and the existing lifecycle coverage.
## Verification
- Run `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime-exposure-reservation.test.ts`.
- Run `npx vitest run
server/src/services/workspace-runtime-exposure.test.ts`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit`.
- Confirm the full CI suite reaches a terminal green state.
## Risks
Low risk. This change updates one test file and does not change
production code. A port can still become busy after discovery and before
the guest bind; the test documents this remaining race.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 (`gpt-5`), tool use and code execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip stores and controls secrets through server services
> - The secret service tests check that concurrent writes use one lock
at a time
> - Fixed sleep times do not prove that a provider write started or
stayed queued
> - This pull request uses provider-write signals and measured waits to
test lock behavior
> - The benefit is stable test results and stronger detection of lock
failures
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The secret write-serialization tests used fixed 20 ms sleeps. The sleeps
sometimes ran before a provider write or after a queued write entered.
The tests then failed or missed a broken lock.
**Expected behavior**
The tests must wait for real provider-write events and must detect a
queued write that enters before the first write finishes.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/secrets-service.test.ts`.
2. Repeat the test file under sustained load.
3. Remove the write lock and run the concurrency tests.
4. Observe intermittent timing failures or missed lock failures.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`13bff0adee0216ee9ec67c843e9ead94aa788c68`
**Deployment mode**
Local dev (`pnpm dev`)
**Installation method**
Built from source (`pnpm dev` / `pnpm build`)
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core test)
**Database mode**
Not database-related
**Additional context**
This pull request changes tests only. It does not change production
code.
## What Changed
- Wait for a deferred signal when the first operation reaches its
provider write.
- Measure an uncontended provider-write duration and use a safety
multiple for the queued-write check.
- Release the test gate in a `finally` block so failed assertions do not
leave a write active.
- Throw when the measurement helper does not observe the provider write.
## Verification
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` reports no errors in the
changed file.
- `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/secrets-service.test.ts` passes
90 of 90 tests.
- The engineer ran the test file five times under sustained load, and
all runs passed.
- Full CI must pass after this pull request starts.
## Risks
Low risk. The change affects test code only. The measured wait can
expose a real lock regression, but it does not change runtime behavior.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution. The exact context
window and reasoning mode are not exposed by the runtime.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Projects can link to goals, through the `goalIds` list or the legacy
`goalId` field. The project service writes those links on create and
update.
> - The service never checked the goal ids. A nonexistent id died at the
`projects.goal_id` foreign key as an opaque 500, and the caller got no
actionable feedback — observed live on 2026-09-03, where one caller
retried the same bad id four times.
> - The foreign key also only proves a goal exists, not who owns it. A
goal id from another company linked silently on a multi-company
instance.
> - This pull request asserts every resolved goal id exists under the
caller's company before any write, and rejects with a 422 that names the
unknown ids.
> - The benefit is a clear, actionable client error instead of a 500,
and no cross-company goal links.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
`POST /companies/:companyId/projects` with a `goalIds` entry that does
not exist fails with an internal error: `insert or update on table
"projects" violates foreign key constraint
"projects_goal_id_goals_id_fk"`. The caller sees a 500 and retries. A
goal id that exists but belongs to a different company is accepted and
linked.
**Expected behavior**
The request fails fast with a 422 that names the unknown goal id(s).
Goals from other companies are rejected the same way. Valid links behave
exactly as before.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a company and no goals.
2. `POST /companies/:companyId/projects` with `{ "name": "Rocket",
"goalIds": ["<any-uuid>"] }`.
3. Before this change: 500 from the foreign key. After: 422 naming the
id.
**Deployment mode**
Any; observed on an authenticated public deployment.
## What Changed
- `assertGoalsBelongToCompany` in the project service: one query for the
resolved ids scoped to the company; unknown ids produce `unprocessable`
(422) with the ids in the message and details
- called on create (before the project row insert, so no partial writes)
and on update (scoped to the existing project's company); both `goalIds`
and the legacy `goalId` field flow through the same resolution
- new embedded-Postgres test file: valid link, nonexistent id on create
with no partial insert, legacy field, another company's goal on create,
and a foreign-goal update that leaves existing links unchanged
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/project-goal-validation.test.ts` — 5
passed
- adjacent suites (`project-icon-persistence`,
`project-shortname-resolution`, `issue-goal-fallback`,
`project-goal-telemetry-routes`, `heartbeat-referenced-projects`,
`projects-list-archived-routes`) — 35 passed
## Risks
- Low risk. One extra indexed select per create/update that carries goal
ids. Requests that previously 500ed now 422; requests that silently
linked a foreign goal now fail — both are corrections, not regressions.
- Existing rows with foreign links (written before this check) are
untouched; only new writes validate.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Managed-cloud deployments authenticate tenant requests through
trusted headers. The middleware syncs the tenant's user, company, and
membership rows on the way through.
> - Pooled Postgres endpoints sometimes close an established connection
under an in-flight query (pooler recycle, compute suspend). The driver
reconnects on the next query, but the statement on the wire fails.
> - In this path a single dropped statement fails the whole request with
a 500. This happened live on 2026-09-03: the idempotent company
bootstrap insert died with `write CONNECTION_CLOSED`.
> - This pull request retries the actor resolution exactly once when the
error chain carries a postgres.js closed-connection code. The sync is
idempotent end to end, so the replay is safe.
> - The benefit is that a routine pooler blip no longer fails an
authenticated request on the entry path.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A cloud tenant request hit the trusted-header authentication middleware
while the pooled Postgres endpoint closed the connection mid-query. The
insert failed with `write CONNECTION_CLOSED <host>:5432` wrapped in a
`Failed query: insert into "companies" …` error, and the request failed.
**Expected behavior**
The driver reconnects on the next query, and every statement in the
tenant sync is idempotent (upserts, on-conflict inserts, deletes; the
write debounce records only after the full sync succeeds). One
in-request retry should absorb the blip and serve the request.
Non-transient failures must keep failing fast.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run an authenticated public deployment against a pooled Postgres
endpoint.
2. Have the pooler close the connection while the middleware's tenant
sync insert is on the wire.
3. Before this change the request fails with a 500; after it the retry
serves the request.
**Deployment mode**
Authenticated public (managed cloud), external pooled PostgreSQL.
## What Changed
- `resolveCloudTenantActor` now delegates to the (unchanged) resolution
body through `retryOnTransientDbConnectionError`, which retries exactly
once on a transient closed-connection failure
- `isTransientDbConnectionError` walks the error `cause` chain (drizzle
wraps the driver error) for the postgres.js codes `CONNECTION_CLOSED`,
`CONNECTION_ENDED`, `CONNECTION_DESTROYED`; both helpers are exported
for tests
- New unit test file `cloud-tenant-transient-db-retry.test.ts`:
detection matrix (including a `23505` staying non-transient),
retry-once-then-succeed, no-retry on non-transient,
propagate-on-second-failure
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
src/__tests__/cloud-tenant-transient-db-retry.test.ts` — 5 passed
- `pnpm vitest run
src/__tests__/cloud-tenant-company-provisioning.test.ts` — 7 passed
against embedded Postgres, driving the real resolution path through the
new wrapper
## Risks
- Low risk. The retry is bounded to one attempt, gated on three explicit
driver codes, and wraps an operation that is already idempotent by
design. Every other failure propagates unchanged.
- A genuinely down database now fails after two attempts instead of one
— a few milliseconds of added latency on an already-failing request.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Several server paths used authorization, redaction, or content-delivery
rules that were too broad. Restricted agent keys could obtain
company-level operational data. Some adapter and instruction paths could
reach server-owned network or file resources without the required owner
approval.
**Expected behavior**
Paperclip must redact credential values, enforce restricted-key scopes,
guard outbound network access, prevent same-origin script execution, and
reserve host-level file and command controls for authorized operators.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Configure an authenticated development instance at the parent commit.
2. Exercise the affected APIs with a restricted agent key or a
non-instance-admin company user.
3. Observe that the parent commit returns privileged data or accepts a
privileged operation.
4. Repeat on this branch and observe a redacted response, a safe
download, or an HTTP 403 response.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The findings reproduce from commit `39898ab22` and are fixed by this
pull request.
**Deployment mode**
Authenticated self-hosted server and local development modes.
**Installation method**
Built from source with pnpm.
## What Changed
- Redact generic secret `value` and `token` fields recursively in
structured logs.
- Classify exact and separator-suffixed `KEY` environment names as
secrets in company exports.
- Limit restricted self-identity responses and protect company run, log,
and secret catalog APIs.
- Route HTTP adapter requests through DNS-pinned SSRF protection with
exact private-origin allowlisting.
- Download HTML, SVG, and other script-capable assets with `nosniff` and
a sandbox CSP.
- Require instance-admin access for external instruction roots and
exports that read them.
- Block agent-authenticated host command persistence across supported
workspace runtime shapes.
- Apply the central runtime-management decision before workspace command
controls.
- Keep the documented first-user instance-admin claim contract
unchanged.
- Add regression tests and server-owner configuration documentation.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes.
- The Node 24 remediation suite passes with 365 tests. It skips 25
environment-gated tests.
- `pnpm build` passes under Node 24.
- `git diff --check` passes.
- The full local runner reaches known macOS-only general-server harness
failures before the serialized route lane. The Linux PR matrix is the
authoritative full-suite gate.
## Risks
- Restricted agent keys now receive HTTP 403 responses from company-wide
run, log, and secret catalog endpoints.
- Script-capable assets now download instead of rendering inline.
- External instruction roots now require instance-admin access.
- Private HTTP adapter endpoints now require an exact origin in
`PAPERCLIP_HTTP_ADAPTER_PRIVATE_ENDPOINT_ALLOWLIST`.
- Public HTTP adapter endpoints remain enabled. Redirects and metadata
or link-local targets remain blocked.
- No database migration is required.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents are configured through `adapterConfig`, whose `env` block
holds the credentials an agent needs to talk to its provider (API keys,
tokens, and similar)
> - Those bindings come in several shapes: a legacy bare string, `{
type: "plain", value }`, and the indirection forms `{ type: "secret_ref"
}` / `{ type: "user_secret_ref" }`
> - Every endpoint that serializes an agent returned `adapterConfig` as
stored, so every `plain` binding was returned verbatim in the API
response
> - That means any caller able to read an agent — including the agent
itself via `GET /api/agents/me` — received live credentials in
plaintext, and those values then propagate into client state, logs, and
network traces
> - The exposure spans three response families that share no common
serializer: the single-agent detail reads, the company agent-list read,
and the create/update/lifecycle routes that echo the stored row straight
back
> - This pull request routes all three through one presenter that
redacts `plain` env bindings, so the leak is closed server-side and
cannot be bypassed by the caller
> - The benefit is that agent credentials stop appearing in API
responses while `secret_ref` indirection continues to work unchanged
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public upstream issue exists for this, so the underlying bug is
described inline below following
`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml`.
**What happened?**
Every endpoint that serializes an agent returned the full plaintext
value of each `adapterConfig.env` entry whose `type` was `"plain"` (and
each legacy bare-string binding). Any actor authorized to read an agent
received that agent's live credentials in the response body. Three
distinct response families were affected:
- **Single-agent reads** — `GET /api/agents/{id}` and `GET
/api/agents/me`, via `buildAgentDetail`.
- **Company agent list** — `GET /api/companies/{companyId}/agents`,
which serializes rows directly and therefore does not inherit any fix
applied to `buildAgentDetail`. Callers that pass the configuration-read
check received unredacted rows for every agent in the company in a
single request, making this the broadest of the three.
- **Mutation responses** — agent create, `PATCH /api/agents/{id}`, and
the `pause` / `resume` / `clear-error` / `approve` / `terminate` routes,
each of which echoes the stored row back to the caller.
**Expected behavior**
Read endpoints should never emit stored plaintext credentials. `plain`
bindings should be replaced with a redaction sentinel before
serialization, while `secret_ref` and `user_secret_ref` bindings — which
contain no secret material — pass through untouched.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Configure an agent with an `adapterConfig.env` entry such as `{
"OPENAI_API_KEY": { "type": "plain", "value": "sk-example" } }`.
2. Call `GET /api/agents/{id}` (or authenticate as that agent and call
`GET /api/agents/me`).
3. Observe `sk-example` returned verbatim in the response body.
4. Call `GET /api/companies/{companyId}/agents` as a
configuration-reading caller and observe `sk-example` returned verbatim
for that agent alongside every other agent's credentials.
5. Call `PATCH /api/agents/{id}` with any unrelated field (for example
`{ "title": "Renamed" }`) and observe `sk-example` returned verbatim in
the mutation response.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced on `master` at `f12bb27b`.
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted / local development server.
## What Changed
- `server/src/redaction.ts`: adds `redactAgentAdapterConfig`, which
rewrites every bare-string or `{ type: "plain", value }` env binding to
`{ type: "plain", value: "***REDACTED***" }` and passes `secret_ref` /
`user_secret_ref` bindings through unchanged. Reuses the existing
`REDACTED_EVENT_VALUE` and `isSecretRefBinding` /
`isUserSecretRefBinding` / `isPlainBinding` helpers — no new
dependencies.
- `server/src/redaction.ts`: `env` is destructured out and sanitized
only by `redactAgentEnvBinding`, while the remaining adapter keys go
through `redactEventPayload`. Previously the already-redacted `env` was
passed back through `sanitizeRecord`, so each binding was processed
twice — safe only because the sentinel is a fixed point of that second
pass. The two paths are now disjoint, making the invariant structural
rather than coincidental.
- `server/src/routes/agents.ts`: `buildAgentDetail` applies
`redactAgentAdapterConfig` before serialization, so `GET
/api/agents/{id}` and `GET /api/agents/me` both redact at the response
layer. Restricted views inherit the same protection.
- `server/src/routes/agents.ts`: adds `redactAgentRowForResponse`, the
single presenter for every response that emits a raw agent row, and
applies it to the company agent-list route and to the create / update /
pause / resume / clear-error / approve / terminate routes. It composes
with `redactForRestrictedAgentView` rather than replacing it: that
helper is an authorization filter (blank the whole config for low-trust
actors), this one is secret hygiene (mask values for every actor scope),
and the two invariants stay independent. `buildAgentDetail` now
delegates to the same presenter instead of inlining the call.
- `server/src/routes/agents.ts`: adds `restoreRedactedAgentEnv` on the
PATCH path so a client that round-trips a redacted detail response back
through `PATCH /api/agents/{id}` does not zero out stored values —
redacted-sentinel entries matching an existing key are restored from
storage.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit` — clean.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
agent-permissions-routes.test.ts` — 57 tests pass.
- Adjacent suites (`redaction`, `agent-adapter-validation-routes`,
`agent-cross-tenant-authz-routes`, `agents-pending-approval-config`,
`agents-service-secret-bindings`, `built-in-agent-routes`,
`plugin-managed-agents`, `agent-skills-routes`) — 8 files, 72 tests
pass, no regressions.
- Both new route tests were confirmed to **fail** with the route changes
reverted and pass with them applied, so they genuinely pin the behaviour
rather than passing incidentally.
Tests added:
- `server/src/__tests__/redaction.test.ts`: covers legacy-string, `{
type: "plain" }`, `secret_ref`, and `user_secret_ref` bindings,
asserting the plaintext value never appears in the serialized result;
plus coverage that non-env adapter keys are still sanitized, that env
binding shapes survive intact, and that configs with no `env` block are
handled.
- `server/src/__tests__/agent-permissions-routes.test.ts`: `GET
/api/agents/{id}` asserts redaction rather than plaintext passthrough;
new `GET /api/agents/me` redaction test across the same binding shapes;
new test asserting the `PATCH` round-trip preserves stored values; new
test asserting the board `GET /api/companies/{companyId}/agents`
response redacts every binding shape; new test asserting a mutation
response redacts rather than echoing the stored plaintext.
No real secret values appear in any test, fixture, or commit message.
## Risks
- **Behavioral change for API consumers.** Any client that read a
plaintext credential out of an agent detail, agent-list, or mutation
response will now receive `***REDACTED***`. This is the intended
security fix, but it is a breaking change for such consumers, which must
move to `secret_ref` indirection.
- **Mutation responses are redacted too.** Callers that previously
relied on a create or update response to echo back the credential they
had just written must now read it from their own request. This is
consistent with the `restoreRedactedAgentEnv` round-trip path, which
already assumes the client holds a redacted copy.
- **Round-trip data loss, mitigated.** A client that GETs an agent and
PATCHes the object straight back would otherwise persist the sentinel
over the real value. `restoreRedactedAgentEnv` restores redacted entries
from storage; the round-trip is covered by a regression test. A PATCH
that *intentionally* sets a value literally equal to the sentinel is not
distinguishable and would be treated as "unchanged" — an acceptable
trade-off given the sentinel is not a plausible credential.
- **No migration.** Stored data is untouched; redaction happens purely
at serialization time, so the change is fully reversible by revert.
- **Overlap with existing PRs** — see the duplicate-search note below.
Maintainers may prefer to consolidate rather than merge this in
isolation.
## Model Used
Claude Opus 4.8 (`claude-opus-4-8`), extended thinking enabled, with
tool use and local test execution.
## Duplicate search
Searching open and closed PRs for prior art surfaced several overlapping
efforts against the same defect. Linking them for maintainer triage — I
am not claiming this PR supersedes them, and consolidation may well be
preferable:
- #9823 — `fix(security): redact adapterConfig secrets on all agent read
endpoints` (closest overlap)
- #8779 — `fix(server): redact agent config secrets in read and mutation
responses`
- #8330 — `fix(server): redact adapterConfig.env for cross-actor agent
reads`
- #4856 — `fix(server): redact adapter env secrets in agent API
responses`
- #4763 — `fix(server): redact adapter_config secrets in agent detail
responses`
- #1839 — `fix: redact secret env vars from agent API responses`
- #4967 — `fix(routines): redact adapterConfig.env in GET
/api/routines/{id}` (same class, routines surface)

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server refuses to boot when its database is not migrated, or
when an authenticated public deployment has no `DATABASE_URL`. These
refusals are deliberate and correct.
> - In managed cloud, a supervisor creates each stack, migrates its
fresh database, applies configuration, and restarts the app. The app
container often boots before those steps finish.
> - Each early boot hits one of the two refusals, exits, and captures
the refusal to Sentry. One fleet build batch produces hundreds of
identical expected events. Real errors get buried.
> - This pull request classifies exactly those two refusals as expected
transients when `PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_API_ORIGIN` marks a supervised
deployment, and skips only the Sentry capture for them.
> - The benefit is a clean error signal: expected provisioning noise
stops, and every real failure still reports.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A managed-cloud stack boots its app container before the supervisor
migrates the empty database or finishes applying configuration. The
container refuses to start, crash-loops briefly, and converges after the
supervisor restarts it. Every refused boot sends an error event to
Sentry. A batch of new stacks produces hundreds of these expected
events.
**Expected behavior**
The refusal logs and exits nonzero, so the supervisor can act. Sentry
receives no event for an expected provisioning transient. Sentry still
receives events for real failures: schema drift, malformed
configuration, and every refusal outside managed cloud.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Set `PAPERCLIP_MIGRATION_AUTO_APPLY=false`,
`PAPERCLIP_MIGRATION_PROMPT=never`, `SENTRY_DSN`, and
`PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_API_ORIGIN`.
2. Point `DATABASE_URL` at an empty database and start the server.
3. The server refuses to start. Before this change it also captures the
refusal to Sentry on every boot.
**Deployment mode**
Authenticated public (managed cloud).
## What Changed
- New `server/src/startup-refusals.ts`: a `StartupRefusalError` class
for refusals whose remedy belongs to the deployment supervisor,
`migrationRefusalError()` to classify a pending-migrations refusal (zero
applied migrations = never migrated = supervised transient; any applied
history = drift = plain always-reported `Error`), and
`shouldReportStartupFailure()` for the capture decision.
- `server/src/index.ts`: the pending-migrations refusal uses the
classifier; the missing-`DATABASE_URL` refusal under the
authenticated-public contract becomes a `StartupRefusalError` (the
malformed-URL refusal stays a plain `Error`); the startup crash handler
consults `shouldReportStartupFailure()` before `captureException`.
Logging and the nonzero exit are unchanged.
- New `server/src/__tests__/startup-refusals.test.ts` covering the
classification and decision matrix, including the unchanged self-hosted
paths.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/startup-refusals.test.ts` — 7 passed.
- Review the decision matrix in the test file: refusals report when
`PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_API_ORIGIN` is absent or blank; non-refusal errors and
non-`Error` throwables always report; drift always reports.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change only skips a Sentry capture in one narrow,
marker-gated case. Boot behavior, logging, and the exit code do not
change.
- Self-hosted deployments do not set `PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_API_ORIGIN`, so
their reporting is unchanged, and the tests pin that.
- A supervised deployment with a genuinely stuck migration runner loses
per-boot Sentry events for that stack. The supervisor's own health
checks and monitoring own that signal, and the container logs still
carry the refusal.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip runs agent heartbeats and stores their run state in a
database
> - The direct-adapter native-isolation tests start heartbeat runs and
then clear database state
> - A terminal run status does not prove that its background database
work has stopped
> - The teardown can then deadlock with a live run during PostgreSQL
`TRUNCATE`
> - This pull request drains active runs before teardown and adds a
guard for queued or running runs
> - The benefit is stable test teardown without a production code change
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This change fixes an intermittent test deadlock in the direct-adapter
native-isolation suite.
**What happened?**
The test teardown could run PostgreSQL `TRUNCATE` while a heartbeat
execution still held a write transaction. PostgreSQL then returned error
`40P01` during some test runs.
**Expected behavior**
The test teardown must wait until all heartbeat executions finish before
it clears the test database.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run
`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-direct-adapter-native-isolation.test.ts`
repeatedly.
2. Run the suite against PostgreSQL-backed native isolation.
3. Observe intermittent deadlock error `40P01` during teardown.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit `57515726d3ef45a07df9b5ee2dfaf7d108556478`.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with the native-isolation test suite.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific. The test covers the direct adapter path.
**Database mode**
External PostgreSQL used by the native-isolation test suite.
**Additional context**
Related prior attempt:
[#12715](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/12715). This pull
request starts from current `master` and does not depend on that pull
request.
## What Changed
- Drain active heartbeat run executions before `afterEach` runs
`TRUNCATE`.
- Assert that no heartbeat run remains `queued` or `running` before
teardown.
- Drain active executions before `afterAll` removes the temporary
database.
- Create one shared `heartbeatService` instance in `beforeAll` so the
drain tracks the test runs.
## Verification
- Run
`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-direct-adapter-native-isolation.test.ts`
20 times. All 20 runs pass.
- Run the target suite with
`server/src/__tests__/native-run-finalizer.test.ts`. Both files pass
with 19 tests.
- Run `tsc --noEmit`. The branch adds no new error compared with
`master`.
- Run the pull request checks after GitHub starts them.
## Risks
Low risk. The change affects one test file and no production code. The
added drain can expose an incomplete test run before teardown, which is
the intended guard.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5. Exact runtime model ID: GPT-5. The context window is not
exposed to this agent. The model used tool calls and code execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for companies that use AI agents for
work
> - Local adapters connect Paperclip agents to provider command line
tools
> - The Codex adapter stores login data in a shared company home
> - A shared home cannot keep credentials for more than one Codex
account
> - This pull request gives each account a safe home and a matching
company secret
> - The benefit is that one company can use multiple Codex accounts at
the same time
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Problem or motivation**
A company can hold only one Codex subscription credential because device
login uses one shared home. A second account cannot log in without
replacing or conflicting with the first credential.
**Proposed solution**
This change validates the vendor account identifier, stores each
credential in its own home, and creates a company secret that points to
that home. Repeat login calls return success when the matching secret
already exists.
**Roadmap alignment**
The change supports the roadmap goal for centrally managed secrets with
scoped access and audited resolution.
**Additional context**
The security review returned approve with no blocking finding. The
branch adds shared account-handle validation and tests for device login
and the Codex local adapter.
## What Changed
- Add strict allowlist validation for Codex account handles.
- Store each Codex account credential in a separate home under the Codex
cache root.
- Verify that the resolved account home stays inside the cache root.
- Create the `CODEX_HOME_<handle>` company secret for each account.
- Keep repeat and concurrent login calls safe and idempotent.
- Add shared helper and route, adapter, and validation tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local test` passes with 343
tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server test
src/__tests__/agent-device-login-routes.test.ts` passes with 25 tests.
- The adapter suite passes with 23 tests.
- The shared package and Codex adapter typechecks pass.
- Continuous integration must pass on every check before merge.
## Risks
The account handle becomes part of a directory path and secret name. The
strict allowlist and root containment check reduce path traversal risk.
Existing single-account homes remain unchanged unless a new device login
creates an account-specific home.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 (exact runtime model ID: gpt-5), with tool use and code
execution. The runtime context window is not exposed in this run.

work.

through the Claude adapter.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #8810. That issue covers related model ID handling. This change
does not change provider-prefixed model IDs.
**Agent or provider**
Claude Code through the built-in `claude_local` adapter. The requested
model is Claude Fable 5.1.
**Why this adapter is useful**
Operators can use Fable 5.1 without entering an undocumented model ID.
The configured model also reaches both supported Claude execution lanes.
**How the agent is invoked**
The CLI lane sends `--model claude-fable-5-1`. The ACP lane sends
`ANTHROPIC_MODEL=claude-fable-5-1` to
`@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp`.
**Are you willing to implement it?**
Yes. This pull request includes the implementation and tests.
**Additional context**
Claude Code 2.1.232 rejected Fable 5.1 and required version 2.1.251 or
newer. ACP package 0.73.0 includes Claude Code 2.1.257. The update keeps
Paperclip's usage metadata and isolated-context behavior.
## What Changed
- Added `claude-fable-5-1` to the direct Claude fallback list.
- Added `us.anthropic.claude-fable-5-1` to the AWS Bedrock list.
- Kept the existing default model at the first position in each list.
- Updated the Claude ACP dependency from 0.70 to 0.73.
- Carried the Paperclip usage and isolated-context changes into the 0.73
patch.
- Added a Claude Code 2.1.251 minimum-version preflight for Fable 5.1
when using the standard `claude` executable, surfaced in both adapter
Test and execution. Explicit custom wrappers retain their existing
compatibility contract.
- Kept local adapter Tests from executing caller-selected binaries: when
runtime `PATH` selects a different Claude executable than the trusted
probe, the Test warns and defers the authoritative version check to
execution instead of approving or rejecting the alternate installation.
- Added tests for model listing, discovery deduplication, Bedrock
filtering, model pass-through in both execution lanes, old-CLI rejection
before launch, custom-wrapper compatibility, and local runtime-PATH
mismatch handling.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local typecheck`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/execute.remote.test.ts
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/test.remote.test.ts
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/test.probe.test.ts
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/acp.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/adapter-models.test.ts` (72 tests passed)
- `node --test scripts/acpx-patch-packaging.test.mjs` (13 tests passed)
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- A local Paperclip agent run completed with `usageJson.model` set to
`claude-fable-5-1` through ACP 0.73.0 and its bundled Claude Code
2.1.257.
- `pnpm test:run` completed 5,638 passing tests and 24 skipped tests. It
also found 24 failures in unrelated workspace-runtime,
path-canonicalization, and runtime-exposure tests on macOS with Node 26.
These failures do not touch this diff. Clean pull request CI is the
final full-suite gate.
## Risks
- The ACP dependency update can change Claude runtime behavior outside
model selection. Focused ACP tests, the full typecheck, the production
build, and a real local Fable run reduce this risk.
- The 0.73 patch must stay aligned with the installed ACP version.
Dependency-resolution CI verifies the manifest and patch pair.
- Fable 5.1 adds a short `claude --version` preflight to standard
CLI-lane Tests and runs. The result is intentionally not cached so an
in-place Claude Code upgrade takes effect without restarting Paperclip.
Explicit custom wrappers are not version-probed because their output and
compatibility contract can differ from the standard executable.
- Local Tests preserve the existing deny-by-default probe boundary and
do not execute a binary selected by caller-controlled `PATH`. A
mismatched runtime binary produces an explicit warning without blocking
an otherwise valid setup; execution independently validates the actual
runtime-selected CLI before launch.
- The AWS Bedrock identifier differs from earlier IDs because Fable 5.1
has no `-v1` suffix. The model-list test locks this exact value.
- There is no schema change or migration.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for agents that perform work.
> - Paperclip Runner connects durable provider sessions to individual
task runs through PRP.
> - Provider continuity and per-run authority are different lifetimes.
> - The existing implementation mixed those lifetimes and lost event
metadata between provider frames, runnerd, persistence, API
sanitization, and the task thread.
> - That caused failed continuation, missing progress and Plans,
duplicate replies, hidden failures, and unsafe recovery.
> - This repair gives every heartbeat fresh authority, preserves
qualified provider-session continuity, and restores one lossless
presentation path without changing direct adapters.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A second native heartbeat could reuse tickets, leases, command receipts,
sequence state, and run identity from the first heartbeat. Provider
phase and item identity could be lost before the UI read them. Redaction
could corrupt protocol discriminators while still missing malformed
credential tails. The task thread could fold progress into the final
response, hide failures, or show more than one final answer. Native
Codex also exposed approval modes that do not yet have a durable
approval bridge.
**Expected behavior**
Each heartbeat uses a new PRP authority epoch. Codex and OpenCode
preserve exact qualified provider sessions; ACPX emits an explicit
continuity event when its qualified process-replacement policy is used.
Every accepted provider event is presented, classified as internal, or
surfaced as unsupported. The task page shows chronological progress,
reasoning summaries, activity, Plans, interactions, terminal failures,
and exactly one final reply. Direct adapters retain their existing path.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Enable the unified experimental Paperclip Runner setting.
2. Create a local native Codex, OpenCode, ACPX Claude, or ACPX Codex
agent.
3. Run response, Plan, structured-question/resume, restart,
cancellation, and failure scenarios.
4. Reload the task while active, waiting, failed, and settled.
5. On the old implementation, observe stale run authority, missing
classifications, incomplete output, or duplicated/folded replies.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The repair is based directly on `master` at
`87d05e194b643810d16d20612115acd01d735d43`.
**Deployment mode**
Local development with the embedded database.
Related work: Refs #12616, #12646, #12666, #12685, and #12700.
## What Changed
- Rotates PRP control-plane, outbox, ticket, lease, command, receipt,
and sequence authority for each heartbeat while carrying forward only a
validated provider-session identity.
- Reads `control-plane-state.json`, validates both durable schemas and
lifecycle values, resumes coherent current runs, archives qualified
settled authority, and quarantines malformed or mismatched scoped state
without moving ambiguous live legacy state.
- Preserves Codex provider phase and stable item identities so
commentary remains progress and only `final_answer` becomes final.
- Adds raw OpenCode HTTP/SSE boundary coverage and canonical reasoning
lifecycle mapping.
- Makes ACPX normalization lossless for visible reasoning, tool
lifecycle metadata, stable bounded identities, Plan revisions,
structured requests, failures, and qualified process replacement. Only
the compatible terminal assistant message is promoted as final.
- Applies schema-aware redaction before generic JWT-shaped detection and
scans every diagnostic string leaf. Malformed raw/escaped quoted
credential tails are redacted in both server and durable Rust state.
- Restores snapshot-style chronological task presentation, expandable
tool activity, inline Plan cards, visible waiting/resume/cancel/failure
states, and exactly one final answer.
- Makes `never` the only qualified native Codex permission mode and
rejects unsupported persisted native modes with remediation. OpenCode
and ACPX policies remain intact.
- Keeps the unified experimental Runner setting as the only enablement
flag. Onboarding and direct Codex, Claude, and OpenCode stay on their
legacy execution/finalization paths.
- Adds cross-language goldens, authority/recovery/fault coverage, exact
response/count assertions, and native plus legacy acceptance scenarios.
## Verification
- Pull-request GitHub Actions run Rust formatting/tests, TypeScript
checks, server/UI tests, builds, protocol drift checks, browser E2E, and
security scans.
- A separate workflow-only validation ref is pinned directly on this PR
head and runs the 35-cell paid local matrix: three core scenarios plus
structured-question resume and restart/resume for native Codex, native
OpenCode, ACPX Claude, ACPX Codex, and direct Codex/Claude/OpenCode.
Run: https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33682434315
- Acceptance requires exact single visible replies, monotonic sequences,
matching envelope discriminators, one semantic terminal, one run
terminal, no unresolved interaction, no duplicate mutation, no secret
leakage, provider continuity, and zero native rows for direct adapters.
- Per maintainer direction, tests are running in GitHub Actions rather
than on the slower local host. Only formatters and static diff checks
were run locally.
## Risks
- Recovery from old or partial filesystem state is sensitive. The repair
fails closed, preserves active or unverifiable authority, and
quarantines only state whose scoped ownership is safe to move.
- Provider event formats can change. Closed validators and boundary
goldens turn new or malformed events into visible diagnostics instead of
silent drops.
- Shared task presentation could affect direct adapters. Runtime-fact
gating plus the direct-adapter matrix protect the existing path.
- Managed and remote providers are not qualified here. Shared code
continues to compile and fail safely, but live qualification is
deferred.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for AI-agent companies.
> - Agent outputs must remain visible after a run and easy to inspect
from a task.
> - The thread and artifact inventory need one consistent rich-card
vocabulary.
> - Run uploads also need durable artifact registration and
producing-run context.
> - Reviewers need deterministic examples for each rich-card kind and
state.
> - This pull request adds the shared presentation, registration,
inventory, and Storybook review coverage.
> - The benefit is a complete output path that reviewers can inspect
without seeded data.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This change improves work-product presentation in task threads and the
task Artifacts tab.
**Subsystem affected**
The change affects shared work-product contracts, the runner diff path,
server attachment and work-product services, GitHub metadata refresh,
the React board UI, and Storybook.
**Current behavior**
The thread used generic cards. Some files uploaded by a run existed only
as message attachments. The Artifacts tab showed a flat list without run
context or filters. Storybook showed only one resting card per kind.
**Proposed behavior**
The thread uses rich cards for supported work-product types. Each
run-produced file registers one attachment-backed artifact work product.
The Artifacts tab groups outputs by run and supports filters. Storybook
shows every kind and requested state, PR lifecycle states, stats
variants, truncation, mobile layout, and message-tail media.
**Reason and benefit**
Users can identify outputs quickly. Reviewers can inspect all card
permutations without creating task data.
**Breaking changes**
None. The metadata fields and automatic artifact registration are
additive. Existing attachments and work products keep their current
behavior.
## What Changed
- Added a shared rich work-product card with kind-specific content and a
compact inventory variant.
- Added pull-request and commit diff metadata plus bounded GitHub state
refresh.
- Added media strips and typed file chips to message-tail attachments.
- Registered each run-produced attachment as an artifact work product in
the same server transaction.
- Grouped task artifacts by run with agent and timestamp headings.
- Added type and run filters, image thumbnails, compact cards, and a
company Artifacts link.
- Added a Storybook kind-by-state matrix with stats variants for all
eight visual kinds.
- Added PR open, draft, merged, and closed examples, long-title
truncation, an exact 375-pixel viewport, and message-tail overflow
coverage.
- Closed reconciled runtime work products when the linked runtime stops
or disappears, so the card shows `Stopped` instead of `Unhealthy`.
### Screenshots
Before: one resting card per kind.
After: the kind and state matrix.
After: message-tail media at 375 pixels.

## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- `pnpm build-storybook` passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/work-product-runtime-reconciliation.test.ts` passed
with 5 tests.
- Chromium visual checks passed at desktop and 375-pixel widths.
- All 30 latest-head GitHub checks passed. One unrelated annotation test
was flaky and passed on its single retry.
- Greptile passed at 5/5 with zero unresolved threads.
## Risks
- Low risk. The Storybook change adds review fixtures only. The runtime
fix changes read-time reconciliation without database writes.
- The matrix is intentionally large so every permutation stays visible
in one review surface.
> I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This work does not duplicate planned core

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Apps subsystem gives humans and agents governed access to
external tools.
> - The current connection flow hides Apps behind an experimental gate
and repeats setup text.
> - Google sharing choices and generic MCP permissions do not use one
consistent opening model.
> - Self-hosted installs also need a safe default origin for managed
OAuth without a manual config file.
> - This pull request makes Apps available, simplifies connection setup,
and applies one governed permissions model.
> - The benefit is a shorter connection flow that works on a clean
self-hosted install.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This improves the Apps connection setup flow, managed Google connection
flow, generic MCP connection flow, navigation, and runtime origin
discovery.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This changes `ui/`, `server/`, `packages/shared/`,
connector documentation, and browser tests.
**Current behavior**
Apps require an experimental switch. Setup pages repeat titles and
explanatory copy. Connection names require manual input. Google
credential sharing does not always offer both personal and organization
access. Generic MCP providers do not start with the same permission
choices. Managed OAuth needs a public URL setting even when the request
already has a safe HTTPS origin.
**Proposed behavior**
Apps are available by default. Setup asks only for required permissions
and sharing choices. Paperclip creates conflict-free connection names.
Google apps and generic MCP providers use the same human and agent
access model. Managed OAuth derives a validated same-origin HTTPS URL
when no explicit public URL is set.
**Reason and benefit**
A clean self-hosted install can connect a managed Google app without
hidden setup. Humans can share a service account with their
organization. The shorter flow reduces duplicated choices and setup
errors.
**Breaking changes**
The Apps experimental switch is removed. Existing connection APIs remain
compatible. New connections can receive a numeric suffix when a name
already exists.
No duplicate or related public issue was found.
## What Changed
- Removed the Apps experimental gate and the breadcrumb that leaves the
Apps section.
- Simplified all connection setup pages and moved optional provider
requirements into one small link.
- Added consistent human and agent access choices for Google apps,
Zapier, and generic MCP connections.
- Added organization sharing to Google Workspace credentials while
keeping personal access available.
- Generated connection names automatically and resolved name conflicts
with numeric suffixes.
- Derived a validated public HTTPS origin from the request for
config-free managed OAuth.
- Updated connector contracts, tests, browser coverage, and authoring
documentation.
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/generic-mcp-connection.test.ts` (273 passed)
- Targeted UI/service regression suite (308 passed)
- Six targeted Playwright connection journeys on a fresh onboarding
instance (6 passed)
- Fresh-install browser proof through Tailscale HTTPS: enrolled with
Paperclip Cloud, connected managed Google Drive, and completed a real
read operation.
- [Exact-head CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33669760711):
all 23 matrix jobs passed, including build, typecheck, server,
serialized, canary, and all browser shards.
- Greptile 5/5 on `0ae2a859f269984ee950d0af231a5b09a06f3dfd`, with no
unresolved review threads.
## Risks
Apps are now visible to all operators. The removed experimental flag no
longer hides unfinished app definitions. Managed Google availability
still depends on the Cloud profile rollout and active instance
enrollment. Automatic conflict handling changes only the display name of
a newly conflicting connection.
> I checked [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md). MCP Tool Gateway and Apps are
shipped. Connected Apps is planned, and this change improves the
existing shipped connection flow.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Paperclip Runner provides durable, provider-neutral agent
execution.
> - The current stack supports qualified local providers but omits the
managed provider paths from the integration branch.
> - Claude Managed Agents and AWS AgentCore need explicit profile
qualification, durable recovery, usage accounting, and cleanup controls.
> - This pull request adds those managed backends as the third part of
the Runner parity stack.
> - The benefit is managed execution without weakening the default-off
Runner rollout gate.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: Runner, server orchestration, database profiles, CLI, and
adapter configuration UI.
**Problem or motivation**
The current Runner stack cannot select or execute the managed Claude
Agents API or AWS Bedrock AgentCore Harness backends. It also lacks
qualified profile storage and recovery checks for those remote
resources.
**Proposed solution**
Add qualified managed and remote profiles, API and CLI management, exact
provider selection, durable lifecycle handling, cumulative usage
accounting, bounded cleanup, and retention acknowledgement. Keep
`enableNativeRunner` default-off.
**Alternatives considered**
A direct copy of the old integration branch was rejected because its
provider contracts, model values, credential flow, and migration history
no longer match the current base. A single large parity pull request was
also rejected because stacked review keeps each subsystem bounded.
**Roadmap alignment**
This continues the existing Runner architecture and rollout work. It
does not introduce a separate execution system.
**Additional context**
This pull request is based on the merged #12691 and #12685 stack. It
also closes the delayed security-review findings reported on #12691 by
binding qualified ACPX and OpenCode launch artifacts to the bytes
actually executed. A GitHub search for managed agent, AgentCore, and
Claude managed work found no duplicate public issue or pull request.
## What Changed
- Add Claude Managed Agents and AWS AgentCore provider executors to
runnerd.
- Add qualified managed and remote profile storage, routes, OpenAPI
contracts, CLI commands, and migration 0237.
- Validate profile ownership, enabled state, exact qualified revision,
model, agent version, and secret binding before persistence and
recovery.
- Persist durable provider session and owned skill state for
restart-safe cleanup.
- Reconcile uncertain create responses and delete remote sessions before
owned skills.
- Track cumulative provider usage and enforce positive session spend
caps.
- Recover interrupted AgentCore usage at the next turn boundary by
charging the prior invocation ceiling exactly once; keep the session
gated until an explicit monotonic budget raise.
- Isolate AgentCore AWS configuration from host profiles and
credential-process/SSO configuration while preserving workload identity.
- Require OpenCode 1.18.17 and fixed build-owned provider-pack artifact
paths; remove the ambient executable override.
- Snapshot and content-verify ACPX and OpenCode commands, scripts, and
provider executables before launch. Linux executes sealed inherited
descriptors; macOS uses authenticated private snapshots with retry-safe
rematerialization at the spawn boundary.
- Persist canonical ACPX and OpenCode launch-profile digests, reject
drift across fresh recovery, and make recovery failures sticky.
- Close and journal unsafe ACPX active-turn recovery before any provider
bootstrap or reconnect.
- Add managed provider fields to the Runner configuration UI and
permission projection.
- Preserve the default-off `enableNativeRunner` experimental flag.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- Focused managed server, database, CLI, Runner TypeScript, Rust,
Claude, AgentCore, ACPX, OpenCode, process-supervisor, and
durable-recovery tests passed.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib --locked` (160 tests)
- `cargo check --workspace --all-targets --locked`
- Native Codex integration tests passed (60 tests); native provider
tests passed (7 tests); server native-runtime tests passed (87 tests).
- Verified-launch replacement, nested-spawn retry, exact-version,
profile-drift, sticky-failure, and no-bootstrap active-recovery tests
passed.
- `git diff --check`
- The PR changes 91 files. `pnpm-lock.yaml` is unchanged. The Rust
workspace lockfile adds the approved `rustix` dependency used for safe
descriptor handling while `#![forbid(unsafe_code)]` remains enabled.
## Risks
- The provider APIs can change while they are in beta. Exact
qualification and fail-closed recovery checks limit drift.
- Remote cleanup can fail after a partial create. Durable ownership
inventories and retry-safe deletion preserve recovery state.
- Migration 0237 adds profile tables. The generated migration and
snapshot pass the repository migration checks.
- Managed execution can incur provider cost. Positive default spend caps
and explicit retention acknowledgement limit accidental use.
- An interrupted AgentCore invocation without final metadata is
conservatively charged to its active session ceiling. This can overstate
cost, but cannot undercount it; later work requires an explicit budget
increase.
- Linux qualified launches use sealed memory descriptors. macOS lacks
executable-descriptor APIs, so the runner uses owner-only private
snapshots and minimizes linked-path lifetime; hostile same-UID processes
remain outside the documented local-host trust boundary.
- The global Runner feature remains default-off.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12685
**Subsystem affected**
This change affects the runner package, server orchestration, adapter
configuration, and UI configuration.
**Problem or motivation**
Paperclip Runner stores provider contracts for OpenCode and ACPX. New
agents cannot select those providers. Runnerd cannot execute those
stored provider descriptors. The UI also shows only Codex.
**Proposed solution**
Accept the qualified OpenCode 1.18.17 profile and the fixed ACPX Claude
and Codex profiles. Route them through runnerd. Keep provider selection,
model selection, permissions, credentials, events, and recovery inside
closed provider-specific boundaries.
**Alternatives considered**
One option was to keep the contracts dormant. That option leaves stored
configuration and runtime behavior out of sync. Another option was to
enable every ACPX agent. That option is not safe because Pi does not yet
have the same verified launch path.
**Roadmap alignment**
This change supports the completed cloud and sandbox agent milestone. It
also supports self-healing runs and governed agent execution. It does
not add a new roadmap surface.
## What Changed
- Add one server profile resolver for Codex, OpenCode, and qualified
ACPX descriptors.
- Keep `adapterConfig` as the provider and permission authority for
fresh runs.
- Add Paperclip Runner provider, ACPX agent, and provider-specific
permission controls to the UI.
- Reset the model to a compatible qualified value when the provider
changes.
- Route Codex, OpenCode, and ACPX through the durable runnerd provider
selector.
- Add a durable ACPX executor with bounded state, recovery, events, tool
receipts, and identity checks.
- Remove Codex labels from OpenCode events, results, evidence, and
recovery diagnostics.
- Pass only provider-specific credential names to child processes.
- Keep ACPX Pi unavailable and reject it before process launch.
- Keep the existing Paperclip Runner experimental flag unchanged.
## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`

## Risks
- This changes provider process selection and durable recovery. The
experimental flag still gates every fresh Paperclip Runner run.
- OpenCode requires a model in `provider/model` form and stays pinned to
version 1.18.17.
- ACPX accepts only exact Claude and Codex profile versions and models.
Pi stays unavailable.
- ACPX steering stays unavailable and reports that limit through the
driver capabilities.
- Child processes receive explicit environment allowlists. They do not
inherit the full server environment.
- This pull request has no database migration.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task view shows a running agent and lets an operator guide that
agent.
> - The merged runner stack lost parts of the accepted task experience.
> - Native event errors could hide current reasoning from the operator.
> - Queued message steering had no server route on `master`.
> - This pull request restores the task-runtime behavior and keeps the
runner experimental gate.
> - The benefit is a visible and steerable native run with durable
fallback behavior.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The task view could stop showing current runner reasoning. The steering
action also failed because the server route was absent. Runner
instruction files were not declared as supported.
**Expected behavior**
The task view must show current provider activity. It must use the live
log when durable native events are empty or unavailable. The operator
must be able to steer a queued message into the active native turn.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Enable the Paperclip Runner experimental setting.
2. Start a native runner task.
3. Open the task view while the run emits reasoning.
4. Queue a message and select the steering action.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The regression reproduces on `24a674f8858060e77ea1beb50689d26473e91431`.
**Additional context**
Related closed work: Refs #12592.
## What Changed
- Restored the queued-comment steering route for active native sessions.
- Added durable and queue-bound steering acknowledgements for safe
retries.
- Restored runner instruction bundle support.
- Added live-log fallback when native events are empty or unavailable.
- Restored the compact live reasoning ticker in the task view.
- Added a visible temporary-unavailable state when both activity sources
fail.
- Kept the unified Paperclip Runner experimental gate unchanged.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm build`
- Seven focused test files passed with 140 tests.
- The final steering regression file passed with 12 tests.
- The broad local test run reached unrelated workspace, port, and shared
database failures. The changed-area tests remained green.
## Risks
- The steering route changes queue and run records in one transaction.
Tests cover stale targets, unavailable sessions, lost responses, and
wrong-queue acknowledgements.
- Native events remain the primary transcript source. The live log is
used only when event data is absent or its poll fails.
- The experimental gate still hides and rejects the runner when the
setting is off.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip runs agents through provider-specific adapters in local
and remote environments

credential

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs: #12618
**Agent or provider**
Grok local adapter.
**Why this adapter is useful**
A remote Grok run can refresh its access token during a run. Copying the
refreshed credential back to the host keeps later runs ready to use.
**How the agent is invoked**
Paperclip invokes the Grok local adapter through its remote subscription
run path. The adapter stages the company Grok home as a sandbox asset.
The change adds a copy-out step on the teardown path.
## What Changed
- `grok-auth-merge-decision.cjs` adds a host predicate in its own
process. It compares the whole `<issuer>::<uuid>` identity key of the
two files. It reads `expires_at` as an ISO-8601 string, an epoch-seconds
number, or an epoch-milliseconds number. It exits 10 to use the source,
20 to keep the destination, 21 when the expiry shape is unreadable, and
22 when the source expiry sits more than 400 days after the host clock.
It fails closed in every unclear case: an unusable side, a different
identity, an absent expiry, a tie, an unreadable expiry, and an
implausible expiry all keep the destination.
- `grok-auth-merge-decision.ts` adds a wrapper that runs the predicate
and maps the exit code to a typed result.
- `grok-auth-copyback.ts` adds `copyBackGrokAuth({ hostHomeDir,
readSandboxAuth, log, env })`. It locks on `hostHomeDir` with
`withDirectoryMergeLock`, stages the sandbox bytes into a private `0600`
temporary file, runs the predicate, and installs the file with an atomic
rename in the same directory. It keeps no backup of the displaced
credential. It leaves no temporary file on the success path, the keep
path, or an error path. On an error it logs the `errno` code only, then
re-throws.
- `execute.ts` adds a `restore` callback to the Grok `home` asset. The
callback takes the destination from
`resolveManagedGrokHomeDir(process.env, agent.companyId)`, never from
`env.GROK_HOME`. A copy-out failure does not fail the run.
- `package.json` updates the `build` script to copy
`grok-auth-merge-decision.cjs` into `dist/server/`, because `tsc` does
not copy a `.cjs` file.
**The credential shape this predicate reads**
A redacted sample of a real vendor credential answered four structural
questions. The answers hold no credential bytes, no account identifier,
no file path, and no timestamp value.
1. `expires_at` is present.
2. `expires_at` sits inside the value object, under the
`<issuer>::<uuid>` key. It is not a top-level field.
3. `expires_at` is an ISO-8601 string. It carries UTC time with a
trailing `Z` and six fractional-second digits.
4. A normal run rewrites `auth.json`. The value object carries a
`refresh_token` next to `expires_at`, so the client refreshes the access
token and rewrites the file.
## Verification
- [x] `pnpm vitest run packages/adapters/grok-local` — 114 tests in 12
files pass.
- [x] `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-grok-local typecheck` — clean.
- [x] `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-grok-local build` — succeeds,
and `dist/server/grok-auth-merge-decision.cjs` exists after the build.
- [x] Continuous integration is green on every check.
## Risks
The predicate keeps the host credential when identity, expiry, file
access, or freshness data is unclear. The copy-out path can log an error
and leave the run successful when it cannot install the refreshed
credential. The atomic rename and directory lock protect the host file
from partial writes and concurrent copy-out actions.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5, current deployment. The exact runtime version and context
window are not exposed to this agent. The model used tool calls and code
inspection.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The issue thread controls plan review and agent work modes.
> - A user can accept a full plan or confirm a smaller checkbox action.
> - Only full plan acceptance must start automatic agent work.
> - The current transition did not check the interaction kind.
> - This pull request limits the transition to an accepted plan
confirmation.
> - The benefit is a safe and clear start of agent work after plan
approval.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
An accepted confirmation that targeted a plan could change an issue from
planning mode to standard mode. This included a checkbox confirmation. A
checkbox action is not approval of the full plan.
**Expected behavior**
Only acceptance of a current full-plan confirmation starts automatic
agent work. Other interaction kinds and rejected confirmations keep the
current work mode.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Put an issue in planning mode.
2. Create a checkbox confirmation that targets the current plan
revision.
3. Accept the checkbox confirmation.
4. Observe that the issue enters standard mode before this fix.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The problem was present on `master` before this change.
**Deployment mode**
The problem is in the core server logic and is not deployment-specific.
## What Changed
- Require a full `request_confirmation` interaction before plan
acceptance starts automatic work.
- Add service tests for acceptance, rejection, stale interaction kinds,
and unchanged standard-mode behavior.
- Check the route activity log for the planning-to-standard mode change.
- Document the plan acceptance transition in the V1 contract.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interactions-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interaction-routes.test.ts` passes 140
tests.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm build` passes.
- `pnpm test:run` was also started. Unrelated workspace-runtime tests
failed because fixed local runtime ports were occupied or offset on the
shared host. The same failures reproduce alone. The changed test files
pass alone.
## Risks
- Risk is low. The change adds one interaction-kind guard to the
existing transition.
- A full accepted plan confirmation still changes planning mode to
standard mode and an eligible review issue to todo in one transaction.
- Checkbox confirmations, questions, rejection, and standard-mode issues
keep their previous behavior.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip manages agents that use different model providers and
adapters.
> - Paperclip must keep agent execution rules clear and predictable.
> - The cheap-model profile added a second execution mode across
adapters, task recovery, APIs, and the UI.
> - That mode increased configuration and recovery complexity.
> - This pull request removes the cheap-model profile as a product
feature.
> - The benefit is one model-selection path for normal work and recovery
work.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This change simplifies model selection across agent configuration, task
execution, recovery, and adapter capabilities.
**Current behavior**
Paperclip exposes cheap-model profiles in adapter metadata, agent
runtime configuration, task overrides, recovery rules, APIs, and the
board UI. Recovery work can select a different model profile from the
agent's configured model.
**Proposed behavior**
Paperclip uses the agent's configured model for normal work and recovery
work. Status-only recovery stays limited to coordination work. The API
rejects legacy model-profile configuration. A migration removes stored
model-profile values from existing agent, issue, and historical revision
records.
**Reason and benefit**
One model path reduces configuration, API, UI, and recovery complexity.
It also prevents status recovery from becoming a separate product-level
model-routing feature.
**Breaking changes**
This change removes model-profile fields and adapter capability
metadata. Existing stored model-profile values are removed by an
idempotent migration. The validators reject new legacy profile values
with clear errors.
## What Changed
- Removed model-profile types, adapter capabilities, API fields, and
model selection logic.
- Removed cheap-model controls from agent and task UI surfaces.
- Kept status-only recovery limited to coordination context while normal
continuations use the configured agent model.
- Added an idempotent migration that removes stored model-profile values
from agents, issues, and configuration revisions without changing issue
update timestamps.
- Updated tests and product documentation for the single-model behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passes.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm build` passes.
- `pnpm test:run` completed with 5,607 passing tests and 8
environment-sensitive failures in unrelated fixed-port and
database-deadlock suites. The same failures repeated in an isolated
rerun. CI is the final clean-room result.
## Risks
- This is an intentional breaking change for clients that send
model-profile fields.
- The migration changes legacy agent, issue, and configuration-revision
JSON. It is idempotent and preserves unrelated fields and issue update
timestamps.
- The change is cross-cutting because the removed feature existed in
adapters, shared contracts, the server, plugins, and the UI.

tools.
> - The experimental settings page mixed active experiments, internal
tools, and old recovery controls.

navigation.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This improves the instance experimental settings page, task watchdog
controls, dependency wake recovery, and execution workspace routes.
**Current behavior**
The settings page shows old recovery controls and mixes product
experiments with internal developer settings. Task watchdogs require an
extra feature flag. Some direct workspace links use the current company
prefix instead of the company that owns the workspace.
**Proposed behavior**
Remove the old task recovery experiment and its unused API surface. Make
task watchdog controls available without the removed flag. Put worktree
execution and managed environment controls in the developer section.
Resolve direct workspace links from the workspace owner and reject a
company prefix that does not own the workspace.
**Reason and benefit**
The smaller settings page is easier to understand. The server keeps only
the dependency wake backstop that it still uses. Workspace links open
under the correct company route.
**Breaking changes**
This removes the experimental issue graph recovery preview and run
endpoints. It also removes the task watchdog feature flag. Task watchdog
data and dependency wake behavior remain available.
## What Changed
- Removed the old task watchdog and issue graph recovery feature flags.
- Removed the old issue graph recovery preview, run controls, API
contracts, and unused recovery implementation.
- Kept resolved dependency wakes as the scheduler backstop.
- Grouped product experiments and Paperclip developer settings on the
instance settings page.
- Made task watchdog controls available without an extra experimental
flag.
- Added owner-aware redirects and company checks for execution workspace
routes.
- Hid the false stopped-state badge while a workspace has no active
runtime state.
- Updated focused server and UI tests for the new behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm test:run` completed with 5,620 passing tests and four failures
in unchanged workspace runtime port tests. The same four failures repeat
when the two files run alone.
- The complete GitHub CI matrix passed, including all server, serialized
server, build, canary, and end-to-end jobs.
## Risks
- Clients that call the removed experimental recovery endpoints must
stop calling them.
- The route checks depend on workspace detail access. An unknown or
cross-company workspace returns the global not-found page.
- There are no database migrations, lockfile changes, workflow changes,
or design image changes.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip reports server and browser errors through optional Sentry
monitoring
> - One environment variable sends both error types to one Sentry
project
> - Operators need separate control for browser and server error data
> - This pull request adds specific variables and keeps the existing
variable as a fallback
> - The benefit is separate monitoring without breaking current
deployments
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The Sentry configuration for server and browser monitoring uses one
environment variable.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (multiple of the above)
**Current behavior**
`SENTRY_DSN` supplies the server and browser clients. Both clients
therefore report to the same Sentry project.
**Proposed behavior**
`SENTRY_DSN_FRONTEND` supplies the browser client. `SENTRY_DSN_BACKEND`
supplies the server process. `SENTRY_DSN` remains a fallback for either
component.
**Reason and benefit**
Operators can send browser and server errors to separate Sentry
projects. Operators can also activate only one component.
**Breaking changes**
None. Existing deployments can continue to use `SENTRY_DSN`.
## What Changed
- Add `resolveSentryDsns(env)` and use it in the server and browser
configuration paths.
- Add precedence, empty-string, fallback, and route tests.
- Update the README, observability guide, and stale code comments.
- Log one warning when the server uses the legacy fallback without
exposing a DSN value.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run --project server sentry-dsn` — 8 tests pass.
- `pnpm vitest run --project server auth-routes` — 21 tests pass.
- The earlier run of the three targeted suites passed 40 tests.
- `tsc --noEmit` passes for the files in this diff.
- All required GitHub Actions checks pass, including the full
continuous-integration suite.
## Risks
The main risk is an incorrect environment variable precedence rule. Unit
tests cover specific values, empty strings, and legacy fallback
behavior. The existing `SENTRY_DSN` path remains compatible.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex — GPT-5, current runtime, tool use and code execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents can receive governed access to connected apps through the
runtime MCP gateway.
> - A connected app can become unavailable when its sign-in expires or
its health state needs attention.
> - The native runner treated that optional app state as a fatal runtime
setup error.
> - One unavailable app could therefore stop all unrelated agent work.
> - This pull request removes the fatal dependency and keeps the
available app assignment immutable.
> - The benefit is that an agent can continue its work while the stream
tells the user which app needs reconnection.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
An agent could not start a native run when one assigned app connection
was disabled, degraded, failed, or missing its secret. Runtime context
creation or MCP delivery threw an error before the agent could do
unrelated work.
**Expected behavior**
The run must continue without the unavailable app. Healthy assigned apps
must remain available. The stream must explain which app needs
reconnection. A changed assignment must not give a native run new access
after its immutable context is captured.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Assign an MCP app connection to a Paperclip Runner agent.
2. Set the connection to a state that needs attention, such as
`degraded`.
3. Start a task run for that agent.
4. Observe that native runtime setup fails before the agent starts.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced from `ee2a19062`. The branch is rebased on `dda4dff64`.
**Deployment mode**
Local development from source with embedded Postgres.
No matching public issue or open pull request was found in the GitHub
search.
## What Changed
- Filter unavailable assigned app connections from the immutable native
runtime MCP snapshot.
- Keep healthy assigned connections and their tools in the snapshot.
- Replace the fatal native MCP availability check with an optional
stream warning callback.
- Withhold MCP delivery when the current assignment digest does not
match the captured native context.
- Prevent a warning delivery failure from stopping the agent run.
- Add regression tests for disabled, degraded, mixed healthy and
unavailable, and assignment-drift cases.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/native-runtime/runtime-context.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-runtime-mcp-servers.test.ts` passes with
8 tests.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passes.
- `pnpm build` passes.
- `pnpm test:run` was attempted. Unrelated workspace runtime and
port-exposure tests failed on this macOS host. The same files also
failed when run without the changed MCP tests. The changed MCP tests
remained green. Clean GitHub CI is the final full-suite check.
## Risks
- Low migration risk. This change has no schema or API contract
migration.
- An unavailable app is absent from the run MCP surface until it is
reconnected and a later run captures it again.
- Assignment drift fails closed. The agent keeps running, but the
changed gateway is not delivered.
- This pull request does not auto-block the issue before the agent
decides that the app is required. It emits reconnect guidance in the
stream. The existing connection-request interaction remains the path for
a required app.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Managed worktrees can run a Paperclip development server for each
task
> - The managed runtime used the built UI when its service did not set
the UI development middleware option
> - This made new UI source changes require a manual build instead of a
hot reload
> - The runtime must supply the development default while it must keep
an explicit operator choice
> - This pull request enables the UI development middleware for new
managed Paperclip development services
> - The benefit is that UI edits appear in the managed worktree browser
without a manual build
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A new managed Paperclip development worktree served the built UI by
default. An operator had to set `PAPERCLIP_UI_DEV_MIDDLEWARE=true`
before UI source changes could hot reload.
**Expected behavior**
New managed Paperclip development worktrees must enable the UI
development middleware by default. An explicit
`PAPERCLIP_UI_DEV_MIDDLEWARE=false` value must continue to disable it.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a managed Paperclip development service without
`PAPERCLIP_UI_DEV_MIDDLEWARE`.
2. Open its UI.
3. Change a UI source file.
4. Observe that the browser does not receive the change until the UI is
built again.
**Paperclip version or commit**
This was reproduced on `317394456` from `master`.
**Deployment mode**
Local development with a managed worktree runtime.
## What Changed
- Set `PAPERCLIP_UI_DEV_MIDDLEWARE=true` for managed `paperclip-dev`
services when the service does not set a value.
- Keep explicit service values, including `false`.
- Add a regression test and document the default and the opt-out.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts -t "enables UI dev middleware by
default"`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm test:run` completed with 5,397 passing tests. Four existing
runtime-port tests could not use ports `42000` and `52000` because a
live managed runtime owns those ports on this host. The new regression
test passed separately.
## Risks
- Risk is low. The change applies only to managed services named
`paperclip-dev`.
- A service can keep the built UI by setting
`PAPERCLIP_UI_DEV_MIDDLEWARE=false`.
- There is no database or API contract change.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Runner is an experimental execution adapter.
> - The adapter and its required sandbox ingress had separate settings.
> - A user could enable one setting and still have an unusable runner
configuration.

each run.
> - This pull request uses that runtime decision for ingress
authorization.

native runs.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This improves the experimental settings and transport authorization for
Paperclip Runner.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This change affects the React settings UI, shared
settings contracts, adapter utilities, and server runtime selection.
**Current behavior**
Settings shows separate Paperclip Runner and Runner Preview Ingress
controls. A user can enable the runner but leave required sandbox
ingress disabled.
**Proposed behavior**
Settings shows only Paperclip Runner. Its native runtime decision also
authorizes provider WebSocket ingress when the execution target requires
it. A persisted native run keeps its recovery transport after the
setting is disabled.
**Reason and benefit**
Paperclip Runner is one experimental capability. One opt-in removes an
invalid partial configuration and makes the rollout boundary easier to
understand.
**Breaking changes**
The Runner Preview Ingress card is removed. The old
`enableRunnerPreviewIngress` key remains accepted in stored settings and
managed configuration, but it has no server runtime effect. The public
adapter-utils input remains compatible through a deprecated alias.
**Additional context**
Refs: #12638, #12641, #12656.
## What Changed
- Removed the separate Runner Preview Ingress card from Experimental
Settings.
- Made resolved native runtime selection authorize required provider
ingress.
- Preserved ingress recovery for persisted native runs after the rollout
flag is disabled.
- Kept the old settings key and adapter-utils input as deprecated
compatibility contracts.
- Added focused UI, runtime policy, transport, stored-settings, and
managed-config regression tests.
- Updated deployment documentation and feature descriptions.
## Verification
- GitHub Actions will run typecheck, tests, build, policy, and browser
shards.
- Focused tests cover the single settings control, runtime
authorization, fail-closed transport selection, the deprecated public
input, and old managed configuration.
- No local tests were run, per the maintainer request to use GitHub
Actions for verification.
- `git diff --check` passes.
## Risks
Low to moderate risk. The effective ingress gate changes from a separate
stored flag to the resolved native run decision. Fresh runs still
require `enableNativeRunner`. Persisted native runs remain recoverable.
Legacy adapters never receive ingress authorization.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent adapters control how Paperclip starts and resumes an agent
runtime.
> - Paperclip Runner is an experimental Rust runtime and must stay
opt-in.
> - The server already rejected new runner selections when the flag was
off.
> - Some setup and onboarding views did not enforce the same boundary.
> - This pull request exposes the existing flag and applies it to every
new setup path.
> - The benefit is a safe rollout with unchanged legacy onboarding and
recoverable existing native runs.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This improves experimental adapter selection in Settings, onboarding,
new-agent setup, invite setup, and company import.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: the React UI and the server onboarding seed service.
**Current behavior**
The server defaulted Paperclip Runner to off, but Settings did not
expose the flag. First-run onboarding could show the runner after
opt-in. A direct new-agent URL and some setup pickers could also reveal
native runner configuration before the availability check completed.
**Proposed behavior**
Settings has a default-off Paperclip Runner toggle. Explicit agent
configuration shows the runner only after the server reports that the
flag is enabled. First-run and invite onboarding always use legacy
adapters. Existing native agents and runs remain readable and
recoverable.
**Reason and benefit**
This keeps the experimental runtime out of normal onboarding. It also
gives administrators one clear opt-in before users can create a native
runner agent.
**Breaking changes**
None. Legacy adapter selection and execution stay unchanged. Existing
native records remain available.
## What Changed
- Added the Paperclip Runner opt-in to Experimental Settings.
- Refreshed adapter availability after the setting changes.
- Kept UI and server-seeded onboarding on legacy adapters.
- Made native runner choices fail closed in new-agent, invite, and
import setup.
- Preserved edit and recovery behavior for existing native agents and
runs.
- Added focused regression tests for flag-off and flag-on behavior.
## Verification
- GitHub Actions will run the repository test, typecheck, build, and
policy gates.
- Focused tests cover Settings, onboarding, agent creation, invite
setup, import setup, and server-seeded onboarding.
- No local test suite was run, per the maintainer request to use GitHub
Actions for verification.
- `git diff --check` passes.
## Risks
Low risk. The change narrows new adapter selection only. The server
remains the final enforcement point. Existing native records do not
depend on the current flag value for read or recovery behavior.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Runner currently enables only the Codex production path.
> - The package also contains dormant OpenCode and ACPX provider
boundaries.
> - Dormant boundaries must still fail safe before later activation
work.
> - Provider children must not inherit unrelated server secrets or host
homes.
> - Permission defaults must require interaction instead of broad
automatic approval.
> - This pull request hardens those boundaries without activating them.
> - The benefit is a safer base for later provider-specific runnerd
work.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This improves the inactive OpenCode and ACPX provider boundary in
Paperclip Runner.
**Subsystem affected**
The adapter permission contract, Runner provider environment, and native
execution input builder.
**Current behavior**
Dormant OpenCode code can inherit the full server environment. Its
default permission mode allows operations. ACPX also defaults to broad
approval. The provider guard can accept inherited object property names.
**Proposed behavior**
Use exact provider identifiers. Use interactive defaults. Allow only
required OpenCode environment keys. Reject invalid proxy permission
modes.
**Reason and benefit**
This reduces accidental authority and secret exposure before future
provider activation.
**Breaking changes**
No production provider is activated. Codex runtime selection and Codex
credential-home discovery do not change. Dormant OpenCode and ACPX
callers that omit permission modes now receive safer defaults.
## What Changed
- Change dormant OpenCode and ACPX permission defaults to interactive
modes.
- Reject prototype property names as provider identifiers.
- Default dormant ACPX input to the qualified Codex agent profile.
- Add an explicit OpenCode runner environment allowlist.
- Exclude host homes, server credentials, database values, and Node
injection options.
- Add a fail-closed OpenCode proxy permission parser.
- Add focused tests for defaults, filtering, and invalid values.
## Verification
GitHub Actions must run:
- Adapter utility tests.
- Paperclip Runner tests, type checks, and build.
- Server native runtime tests.
- Repository test, type-check, build, policy, and security gates.
No local test command was run. The repository owner requested
GitHub-only verification.
## Risks
Future OpenCode credential providers must add required variables to the
allowlist through review. The safer defaults can pause dormant internal
scenarios that relied on implicit broad approval. Production Codex
behavior is unchanged.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with the GPT-5 agent model. The work used high reasoning,
repository inspection, tool use, and parallel security review.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Administrators need bounded controls for experimental native
execution.
> - The lower stack adds remote Codex execution and the task workspace.
> - Operators need to configure Codex safely and inspect provider
traces.
> - Unsupported providers must not appear as runnable choices.
> - This pull request adds Codex-only administration and observability.
> - The benefit is a default-off operational surface for production
diagnosis.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12640.
Refs #12616.
Refs #12352.
**Subsystem affected**
Agent configuration, instance experimental settings, run ledger,
provider trace inspector, and administrator actions.
**Problem or motivation**
The native runner lacks one safe operator surface for Codex permissions,
lifecycle, raw trace capture, and run inspection. The integration branch
also contains provider choices that the production backend cannot
execute yet.
**Proposed solution**
Expose only the qualified Codex controls. Keep Paperclip Developer Mode
and runner preview ingress off by default. Gate raw trace actions by
administrator access and existing trace authorization.
**Alternatives considered**
Exposing unfinished providers would create configurations that fail at
runtime. Always-on tracing would increase sensitive data and storage
risk.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports governed Cloud and Sandbox agents and production
diagnostics.
## Stack
- Base PR: #12640.
- Lower PRs: #12639 and #12638.
- This PR contains only its 54-file administration and observability
delta.
- This is the final feature PR in the Codex production stack.
## What Changed
- Added Codex-only Paperclip Runner permission and lifecycle controls.
- Added bounded warm idle configuration.
- Kept the provider field fixed to Codex.
- Added administrator-only one-run raw trace requests.
- Added a persistent future-run raw trace toggle.
- Added trace status, metadata, ledger, and canonical runner inspection.
- Added JSON-RPC request-origin grouping and finalization lineage.
- Restored the stateful PRP transcript parser and focused projection
tests required by trace inspection.
- Added default-off Paperclip Developer Mode.
- Added Honeycomb run links for authorized developer mode.
- Disabled the legacy operational skill for `paperclip_runner`.
- Did not expose OpenCode, ACPX, Pi, Claude Managed, or AWS runner
choices.
- Did not change migrations, workflows, dependencies, or
`pnpm-lock.yaml`.
## Verification
- GitHub Actions will run UI tests, server tests, repository typecheck,
build, browser tests, security, and policy gates.
- Tests cover Codex configuration defaults and bounds, administrator
trace actions, persistent settings, ledger inspection, trace lineage,
and Honeycomb links.
- Existing server trace authorization and retention tests remain the
backend authority.
- Local tests were not run. The requested verification policy uses
GitHub Actions for this series.
- `git diff --check runner/task-workspace-experience...HEAD` passes.
- The delta contains 54 files.
## Risks
- Raw provider traces can contain sensitive provider data.
- Existing server authorization controls access, reveal, download,
retention, and deletion.
- The UI gates trace actions by administrator access and developer mode.
- All new instance settings remain off by default.
- Fresh Paperclip Runner configuration remains Codex-only.
- Direct adapters and legacy task behavior do not change in this PR.
