Picking a source starts the sign-in: the row collapses to the answer, the card opens where the credential link was, and the footer button walks Sign in -> Waiting for code -> Connecting before the step advances. Back unwinds it a beat at a time.
Nothing mounts to change layout - the card and the link are always rendered and their heights animate, with inert holding the a11y line - because a mount changes the page in one frame and no easing can smooth a step already taken.
Review fixes in the same branch: the displayed-code panel now reports its prompt upward (the OpenAI path could not leave the loading beat without it), the two-second hold is a cancellable beat rather than a dropped timer, unwinding a sequence that never opened a card no longer starts a login to cancel it, and the key field regains focus-on-open.
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runner subsystem executes agent work across local and managed
provider backends.
> - The lower pull requests restore the task runtime, provider backends,
and managed-provider control plane.
> - The restored system needs repeatable full-stack checks before it can
ship safely.
> - Paid live checks also need clear access, cost, and secret controls.

release gates for the restored runner stack.

decisions.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This change covers runner tests, release workflows,
server contracts, and evaluation tools.
**Problem or motivation**
The runner stack did not have one complete acceptance surface for native
Codex, ACPX, Claude Managed, and AWS AgentCore. Release checks could
miss provider drift, task-view regressions, cost-policy errors, and
destructive cleanup errors.
**Proposed solution**
Add a 57-cell full-stack catalog, a Daytona image, and opt-in paid
workflows. Add live evaluation, chaos, cost-limit, redaction, and
release contract checks. Add AWS AgentCore infrastructure and guarded
provisioning tools. Keep the native runner experimental flag off by
default.
**Alternatives considered**
We considered manual smoke tests only. They do not give repeatable
evidence and they do not protect release branches. We also considered
one large pull request. The stacked pull requests keep each review below
the Greptile file limit.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports the shipped Cloud / Sandbox agents milestone and the
shipped Agent evals & feedback milestone in `ROADMAP.md`.
Related stack:
- #12699 adds managed provider backends and lifecycle support.
- #12691 adds qualified OpenCode and ACPX provider backends.
- #12685 restores task runtime rendering and steering.
## What Changed
- Add the runner full-stack harness with 57 catalog cells and 60 unit
tests.
- Add a Daytona runner image with digest-pinned base images and
base-aware image-content checks.
- Add guarded live evaluation and chaos workflows with a fixed
40-execution matrix; live and full-stack paid schedules now run only on
Sundays or by manual dispatch.
- Add in-flight reported-usage cost stops, post-turn cost caps,
exact-threshold failure classification, secret redaction, retry
classification, and actor authorization.
- Reattach stream and hard-budget listeners before restart-recovery
continuations so restored paid sessions cannot bypass in-flight
interruption.
- Preserve OpenCode usage and cost across tool-loop messages and turns
while exposing an explicit current-run delta to durable accounting.
- Keep PNG/WebM evidence in access-controlled artifacts only, reject
SVG, and publish only pruned inert structured per-attempt evidence.
- Add AWS AgentCore infrastructure, provisioning checks, and smoke
tools; reject unsafe model identifiers, require exact stack ownership
markers, and make failed-stack replacement explicit.
- Add evaluation-session contracts and capability reports.
- Add release workflow checks for immutable action pins, frozen
dependency installs, exact weekly cron shape, paid-run guards,
provider-secret isolation, and chaos test paths.
- Reauthorize the original and triggering numeric actor IDs as the first
step of every provider-secret job, including partial reruns, before
checkout or provider access.
- Give each full-stack matrix cell only its matching provider
credential, expose Daytona only to Daytona cells, and disable shared
dependency caches anywhere paid credentials or OIDC write access are
present.
- Protect the legacy manual E2E workflow with the same default-branch,
allowlist, environment, and per-job authorization boundary.
- Rotate live-eval candidates by week and retain 120 days of compatible
history so the seven-week trend window remains viable.
- Restore the root runner-acceptance commands and reconcile reported
snapshots,
raw receipts, and terminal usage without double counting or losing late
usage.
- Mark ACPX token deltas exact only when every budget field is present,
keep
cumulative cost/request authority separate, reject non-USD cost
labeling,
and include thought tokens in output-token budgets.
- Keep `enableNativeRunner` off by default. The acceptance harness
enables it only in its isolated test instance.

- focused ACPX provider-event tests (10 tests)
- The rebased PR changes 92 files. `pnpm-lock.yaml` is unchanged.
I did not run paid live provider jobs or provision AWS resources. Those
checks need credentials and can create cost.
## Risks
The paid workflows can create provider cost. They require an allowlisted
original and triggering actor, the protected `runner-e2e-paid`
environment, explicit opt-in variables, and cost limits. The four
provider credentials exist only in that master-only environment, which
requires allowlisted reviewer approval and disables administrator
bypass; repository and organization Actions scopes contain no copies.
Provider usage arrives after a billable request, so the live guard
cannot prevent one request from crossing a threshold. It interrupts
immediately on the first reported threshold hit and permits no
continuation.
Visual evidence can contain secrets rendered as pixels. PNG/WebM remain
only in access-controlled workflow artifacts; SVG and per-attempt XML
are excluded, and S3/Pages receive a pruned structured dashboard.
The AWS scripts can create cloud resources. They use explicit commands,
least-privilege roles, KMS encryption, saved nonsecret metadata, and
explicit teardown.
This pull request does not enable the experimental native runner for
existing instances.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - New customers meet it through onboarding, whose last three steps run
inside the tenant: create an agent, connect a model, review
> - The connect step is the one that decides whether the agent can run
at all, and it had drifted — three contributors changed it in parallel,
and its visual language no longer matched the rest of the flow
> - It also could not be looked at without a provisioned stack, so
defects in it were only found by walking a real signup, and the review
step behind it could not be reached at all when it failed
> - This pull request brings the visual work onto the sign-in behaviour
that already shipped, and adds Storybook coverage for all three steps
> - The benefit is that the step is easier to read, and that it can now
be inspected and driven before it ships rather than after
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The onboarding connect-a-model step. It presented the model choice as a
dropdown plus an "Advanced settings" disclosure, and put each credential
type in a different place, so the controls below moved whenever the
choice changed.
**Subsystem affected**
Tenant onboarding wizard (`ui/src/components/OnboardingWizard.tsx`) and
its Storybook coverage.
**Current behavior**
The step offered every registered adapter through a disclosure.
Credential entry appeared in a different shape per source. None of the
three agent-arc steps could be rendered outside a provisioned cloud
stack, so the sign-in panel and the review step were only reachable by
walking a real signup.
**Proposed behavior**
Two brand tiles for the recommended sources, a link that switches
between subscription and API-key credentials, and one canvas that holds
whichever input the current choice needs. Storybook stories mount the
real wizard against fixtures and walk it forward, so every step and its
states can be inspected locally.
**Reason and benefit**
The step reads as one decision rather than three scattered ones, and its
furniture stays still while the choice changes. The stories mean a
regression in it is visible before release instead of during a signup.
**Breaking changes**
No API or schema change. One behavioural narrowing, described under
Risks.
## What Changed
- Replaces the adapter dropdown and "Advanced settings" disclosure with
`ModelSourceTiles` — brand tiles for Claude Code and Codex.
- Adds `CredentialModeLink`, a text toggle between subscription sign-in
and API keys, replacing the disclosure.
- Adds `ConnectInputCanvas`: one surface that holds the sign-in panel or
the API-key field and resizes between them, so the Connect button below
does not move.
- Keeps the existing sign-in behaviour unchanged. `AgentConfigForm`
changes are presentation only — the provider name in the title, the CTA
wording, and `space-y` to `gap`. No change to the login mutations,
queries, or session handling.
- Restores the sleep marks on the dormant agent for the two steps before
the hire.
- Adds Storybook stories for all three agent-arc steps, with fixtures
for the environments, auth signal, both adapters' login flows, and the
hire.
- Copy: names the provider being signed in to ("Sign in to
Anthropic"/"Sign in to OpenAI"), and drops "Clippy" from the agent-name
helper text.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run src/components storybook` in `ui/` — 139 tests over
the touched suites, 1986 across `src/components`.
- `pnpm typecheck` in `ui/` — clean.
- Storybook, `Onboarding/Agent arc`: walk each story. Step 1 has no Back
button, steps 2 and 3 do.
- The sign-in gate: on `Connect a model`, press Connect without signing
in. It holds on step 2 and reports "No working authentication was
found." On `Review`, which fixtures an authenticated signal, Connect
reaches the review step.
- Both providers' login flows: press Sign in on the Claude tile for the
authorization URL and browser-code field, and on the Codex tile for the
device URL and code.
- The Claude sign-in was also walked end to end on a staging tenant,
including the OAuth redirect and pasting the code back.
## Risks
- **Onboarding now offers two model sources instead of every registered
adapter.** `ModelSourceTiles` is fed the `recommended` set, which is
`claude_local` and `codex_local`; Gemini, Cursor, Grok, Kimi, OpenCode
and Paperclip Runner are no longer selectable *during onboarding*. This
is deliberate. The full list is unchanged in agent settings, which is
where an adapter can still be switched after the agent exists, and
adding a source back is one `recommended: true` in
`adapter-display-registry.ts`. Flagging it because it is the one
behavioural narrowing here and it is not visible from the diffstat.
- The API key entered on this step is held in component state and
deliberately never written to the onboarding draft, because that draft
is `localStorage`. A customer who leaves mid-step re-enters the key;
that is the intended trade.
- Storybook-only risk: the fixtures now answer the environment test from
the story's auth state. If a future change moves the hire's gate off the
`adapter_auth_missing` check code, the stories would keep passing while
the product regressed. The gate is asserted in the adapter packages' own
tests, not here.
- Motion changes are low risk and reversible: the input canvas animates
its contents only, and its container was deliberately left unanimated
after an animated wrapper clipped the sign-in panel.
## Model Used
Claude Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5`), via Claude Code with extended thinking,
tool use, and browser-driven verification of the Storybook stories.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runner package already provides the production protocol and
execution spine.
> - Contributors still need stable SDK surfaces, deterministic test
tools, and local inspection tools.
> - Those surfaces share generated contracts and must change as one
package boundary.
> - This pull request adds the package-local SDK, labs, examples, and
drift checks.
> - The benefit is a reviewable developer platform that does not change
application execution selection.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/paperclip-runner` — runner SDK, conformance tools, and
developer tooling.
**Problem or motivation**
The production runner spine is present, but package consumers cannot
build deterministic integrations, inspect sessions, or verify
provider-neutral behavior through supported surfaces.
**Proposed solution**
Add browser, React, standalone, live-session, scenario, conformance, and
evaluation surfaces. Add generated contract inventories and
package-local verification scripts. Keep production application routing
unchanged.
**Alternatives considered**
We considered splitting each generated catalog, SDK surface, and demo
into separate pull requests. Those changes share exports, fixtures, and
drift gates. Splitting them would create intermediate package states
that do not build.
**Roadmap alignment**
No overlapping item appears in `ROADMAP.md`. This work extends the
runner package that is already on `master`.
## What Changed
- Add browser, React, standalone, live-session, and issue-thread SDK
surfaces.
- Add deterministic mock control-plane, scenario, conformance, replay,
and evaluation tools.
- Add bounded Codex, OpenCode, and ACPX development transports and
fixtures.
- Keep deferred managed-provider execution fail-closed. Persisted
compatibility data remains readable.
- Add generated capability inventories with their source files and drift
checks.
- Add examples, package documentation, browser checks, and
clean-consumer checks.
- Preserve the reviewed protocol bounds, replay compatibility aliases,
process environment isolation, and semantic redaction limits.
- Update the ACPX package patch that the existing workspace patch
registry already tracks.
- Do not change `pnpm-lock.yaml`, repository workflows, server runtime
selection, or the application UI.
## Verification
GitHub Actions is the verification authority for this pull request. The
repository CI, package TypeScript and Rust checks, package tests,
generated-output drift checks, browser checks, security scans, and
Greptile review must pass on the exact head.
Local test suites were not run because this series uses parallel GitHub
Actions for verification.
## Risks
This is a large greenfield package change. The main risks are public
export drift, generated-output drift, and optional React consumer
compatibility. Package boundary checks, clean-consumer checks, and
browser tests cover those risks. Production adapter selection and server
execution are outside this pull request.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11965
This is stack 8 of 11. It depends on stack 7 and replaces another
reviewable part of #11965.
## What Changed
- Add managed Google Workspace and external connector backends.
- Add Vercel Connect support without storing provider bearer tokens.
- Add replay-safe migration 0232 and its generated snapshot.
- Fail closed and clear stale token bindings when organization OAuth
refresh needs reauthorization.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run

- Result: 194 tests passed.

- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/services/remote-url-credentials.test.ts` (5 passed, including
URL userinfo vault extraction)
## Risks
- Broker metadata errors can block provider setup.
- OAuth refresh failure disables the shared organization connection
until reauthorization.
- Migration 0232 is generated, ordered after 0231, and safe to replay.
> I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This stack continues the existing app

work

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

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

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

real files
> - The repository ignores `.DS_Store`, but it does not ignore these
sidecars

files

`.gitignore`

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue covers this. The problem is described below, in the
format of
`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/enhancement.yml`.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The root `.gitignore` file, and the `git status` output that developers
see.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (multiple of the above) — repository tooling, not
application code.
**Current behavior**
The root `.gitignore` ignores `.DS_Store`. It does not ignore the
AppleDouble
sidecar files that macOS writes. macOS creates a file named
`._<filename>` next
to a regular file when the volume cannot store extended attributes. This
happens
on exFAT and NTFS volumes, on FUSE mounts, and on network shares. Git
shows
every one of these files as untracked. The author reports approximately
58,000
such files in one local checkout. Real untracked files, such as new
scaffold
directories, are lost in that list.
**Proposed behavior**
`.gitignore` ignores `._*`, `.AppleDouble`, and `.LSOverride`. `git
status` then
shows only real files. These three patterns are the macOS set from
GitHub's
gitignore collection:
https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/Global/macOS.gitignore
**Reason and benefit**
Developers lose time when they read `git status` output that contains
thousands
of operating system files. They can also commit a sidecar file by
accident. The
repository already suppresses these same files in its own code: `ssh.ts`
sets
`COPYFILE_DISABLE=1` to stop `bsdtar` from writing them, and the Daytona
file-sync path excludes them from tarballs. This change applies the same
rule
to git.
**Breaking changes**
None. No tracked file matches the new patterns. Git continues to track
any file
that is already tracked, because `.gitignore` applies to untracked files
only.
## What Changed
- Added `._*`, `.AppleDouble`, and `.LSOverride` to the root
`.gitignore`, below
the existing `.DS_Store` entry.
## Verification
- `git status` no longer lists `._*` files after the change.
- `git ls-files | grep -E '^\._|\.AppleDouble|\.LSOverride'` returns no
output.
No tracked file becomes ignored.
- `.DS_Store` behavior does not change.
## Risks
Low risk. This is a configuration change with no runtime effect. A file
that
starts with `._` becomes ignored, so a contributor who needs such a file
must
add it with `git add -f`. Git refuses to add an ignored path without
that flag,
so the effect is visible and not silent. No such file exists in the
repository.
Note for contributors who already have these files in a working tree:
the ignore
rule does not delete them. Remove them with:
`find . -name '._*' -not -path './node_modules/*' -not -path './.git/*'
-delete`

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

Fixes#6470
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is an open-source AI agent platform receiving a high
volume of community PRs — currently 2,398 open
> - The contributor experience is broken: PRs sit for months with no
feedback, contributors don't know why they're stuck, and maintainers
spend review time on PRs that are missing basics
> - Common problems: no linked issue, no test coverage, incomplete PR
template, manually-edited lockfile — all catchable before human review
> - At the same time, accepting untrusted PRs from unknown contributors
is a real attack surface: malicious packages, secret injection,
tampering with CI scripts, and code touching the sensitive paths from
the April security advisories
> - This PR adds automated gates that run on every PR: quality failures
get a clear comment telling contributors exactly what to fix, security
concerns are silently flagged as draft advisories and block merge via a
pending check run
> - The benefit is a dramatically faster feedback loop for good-faith
contributors and a meaningful security layer for the maintainers
reviewing them
## What Changed
- **`.github/workflows/commitperclip-review.yml`** — new workflow using
`pull_request_target` (runs in base branch context, has secrets, never
executes PR code). Runs quality gates + security gates on every PR
open/update.
- **`.github/dependabot.yml`** — weekly automated dependency
vulnerability PRs for npm and GitHub Actions.
- **`.github/scripts/get-bot-token.mjs`** — generates a short-lived
commitperclip installation token from `COMMITPERCLIP_KEY` secret.
- **`.github/scripts/run-quality-gates.mjs`** — orchestrates 5 quality
gates, posts/updates a single consolidated comment on the PR.
- **`.github/scripts/check-pr-template.mjs`** — validates all 5 required
template sections, Thinking Path depth (≥3 sentences), Model Used not
placeholder.
- **`.github/scripts/check-pr-linked-issue.mjs`** — requires `Fixes
#NNN` or issue URL in PR body.
- **`.github/scripts/check-pr-test-coverage.mjs`** — requires at least
one test file in the diff.
- **`.github/scripts/check-pr-lockfile.mjs`** — blocks manual
`pnpm-lock.yaml` edits (only the refresh bot may change it).
- **`.github/scripts/check-pr-dependencies.mjs`** — informational
comment when new npm packages are added.
- **`.github/scripts/check-pr-security.mjs`** — 6 silent security
checks: secret patterns, CI workflow tampering, build script changes,
supply chain (new packages in lockfile), suspicious test patterns
(outbound network/shell exec/env var reads), and changes to the 9
sensitive path prefixes from the April advisories. When any fire:
creates a draft security advisory + sets `security-review` check to
`in_progress` (blocks merge). When clean: sets `security-review` to
`success`.
- **`actions/dependency-review-action@v4`** — per-PR dependency
vulnerability check (fails if new dep has known CVE).
- **44 unit tests** across all gate modules (`node:test`, no external
deps).
## Verification
Run all unit tests locally:
```bash
node --test .github/scripts/tests/*.test.mjs
```
Expected: 44 pass, 0 fail.
End-to-end: open a PR missing the template, linked issue, and test files
→ commitperclip posts a consolidated comment listing all failures. Open
a PR with all gates satisfied → `✅ All checks passing` comment posted,
all check runs green.
## Risks
**`pull_request_target` security model:** This workflow runs in base
branch context and has access to secrets. It explicitly checks out `ref:
master` (never PR code) and reads the PR diff via GitHub API only — no
PR code is ever executed. This is the correct pattern for running
secret-bearing checks on fork PRs; deviating from it (e.g. checking out
the PR branch) would be a security vulnerability.
**False positives on security gates:** The sensitive-path gate flags any
PR touching the 9 path prefixes from the April advisories. Legitimate
fixes to those paths will trigger draft advisories. This is intentional
— those paths warrant a human look regardless. The `security-review`
check can be manually resolved by a maintainer once reviewed.
**commitperclip not yet installed:** Until the app is installed on this
repo and the `COMMITPERCLIP_KEY` secret is added, the workflow will fail
on the token generation step. The quality gate comment won't post, but
Dependency Review will still run independently.

## One-time setup needed from you, Dotta
1. **Install commitperclip app** on this repo:
https://github.com/apps/commitperclip/installations/new
2. **Add `COMMITPERCLIP_KEY`** as a repository secret (Actions →
Secrets) — ask @brandonburr for the key
3. **Add `security_advisories: write` and `checks: write`** to the
commitperclip app permissions (commit-capital org → Settings → Apps →
commitperclip → Permissions)
4. **Install Socket.dev** from GitHub Marketplace for supply chain
scanning
5. **Branch protection** (optional but recommended): require
`commitperclip-review` and `security-review` checks to pass before merge
## Dashboard integration note
The `commitperclip-review` check run result maps cleanly to your PR
triage dashboard. A single filter on your Worker:
```javascript
const gatesCheck = checkRuns.find(r => r.name === 'commitperclip-review');
if (gatesCheck?.conclusion === 'failure') return null; // filter from queue
```
For security flags: `GET
/repos/paperclipai/paperclip/security-advisories?state=draft` — advisory
titles include `PR #NNN` for cross-referencing. PRs with a matching
draft advisory have `security-review` in `in_progress` state (grey
spinner, can't merge via branch protection).

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

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

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is a control plane for autonomous AI-agent companies, and
the board UI needs to keep operator visibility clear as company work
scales.
> - The involved subsystem is the Issues page board mode, specifically
the Kanban rendering path for issue status columns.
> - The current board keeps the classic Kanban model, but high-volume
columns can become tall, slow, and hard to scan when hundreds of issues
are loaded.
> - We explored alternatives and chose the conservative Scaled Kanban
direction: preserve status lanes and drag/drop, but bound visible cards
and collapse low-signal lanes.
> - This pull request adds UI-only density controls and high-volume
defaults rather than introducing schema or API changes.
> - The benefit is a board that remains usable with large issue
inventories while keeping active workflow lanes visible.
## What Changed
- Added scaled Kanban behavior with compact cards, collapsed cold-lane
rails, per-column visible-card limits, and per-column "show more" reveal
controls.
- Added persisted board density preferences to the Issues page view
state, scoped through the existing company-specific localStorage path.
- Added board toolbar controls for compact cards, collapsed cold lanes,
cards-per-column page size (`10`, `25`, `50`), and density reset.
- Added a design spec and implementation plan under `doc/plans/`.
- Added focused Vitest coverage for `KanbanBoard` and `IssuesList`
high-volume board behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/IssuesList.test.tsx
ui/src/components/KanbanBoard.test.tsx` — pass, 35 tests.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — pass.
- `pnpm build` — pass before the upstream merge; not rerun after
docs/assets cleanup.
- `curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:3100/api/health` — pass against restarted
local dev server after applying pending migration
`0078_white_darwin.sql`.
- `pnpm test:run` — previously failed in unrelated Cursor remote-sandbox
server tests:
- `server/src/__tests__/cursor-local-adapter-environment.test.ts`:
expected probe status `pass`, received `fail`.
- `server/src/__tests__/cursor-local-execute.test.ts`: two remote
sandbox execution cases exited `127` instead of `0`.
Local dev server for manual UI inspection: `http://127.0.0.1:3100`.
Screenshots were captured for review and attached in the PR thread
rather than committed to source.
## Risks
- Low schema/API risk: this is UI-only and uses the existing issue data
path.
- Board users may need to notice the new density controls if they want
to override high-volume defaults.
- Collapsed cold lanes remain valid drop targets, so status moves can
happen without expanding the destination lane.
- Very large remote columns can still hit the existing 200-item
per-column query cap; this PR improves rendering, not server-side board
pagination.

shell execution, local test/build execution, and inline implementation
planning. No subagents were used.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - A fast-moving control plane needs stable local tests and repeatable
local maintenance tools so contributors can safely split and review work
> - Several route suites needed stronger isolation, Codex manual model
selection needed a faster-mode option, and local browser cleanup missed
Playwright's headless shell binary
> - Storybook static output also needed to be preserved as a generated
review artifact from the working branch
> - This pull request groups the test/local-dev maintenance pieces so
they can be reviewed separately from product runtime changes
> - The benefit is more predictable contributor verification and cleaner
local maintenance without mixing these changes into feature PRs
## What Changed
- Added stable Vitest runner support and serialized route/authz test
isolation.
- Fixed workspace runtime authz route mocks and stabilized
Claude/company-import related assertions.
- Allowed Codex fast mode for manually selected models.
- Broadened the agent browser cleanup script to detect
`chrome-headless-shell` as well as Chrome for Testing.
- Preserved generated Storybook static output from the source branch.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/workspace-runtime-routes-authz.test.ts
src/__tests__/claude-local-execute.test.ts --config vitest.config.ts`
from `server/` passed: 2 files, 19 tests.
- `pnpm exec vitest run src/server/codex-args.test.ts --config
vitest.config.ts` from `packages/adapters/codex-local/` passed: 1 file,
3 tests.
- `bash -n scripts/kill-agent-browsers.sh &&
scripts/kill-agent-browsers.sh --dry` passed; dry-run detected
`chrome-headless-shell` processes without killing them.
- `test -f ui/storybook-static/index.html && test -f
ui/storybook-static/assets/forms-editors.stories-Dry7qwx2.js` passed.
- `git diff --check public-gh/master..pap-2228-test-local-maintenance --
. ':(exclude)ui/storybook-static'` passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
cli/src/__tests__/company-import-export-e2e.test.ts --config
cli/vitest.config.ts` did not complete in the isolated split worktree
because `paperclipai run` exited during build prep with `TS2688: Cannot
find type definition file for 'react'`; this appears to be caused by the
worktree dependency symlink setup, not the code under test.
- Confirmed this PR does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml`.
## Risks
- Medium risk: the stable Vitest runner changes how route/authz tests
are scheduled.
- Generated `ui/storybook-static` files are large and contain minified
third-party output; `git diff --check` reports whitespace inside those
generated assets, so reviewers may choose to drop or regenerate that
artifact before merge.
- No database migrations.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is a local-first control plane for AI-agent companies.
> - Operators need predictable local dev behavior, recoverable instance
data, and scripts that do not churn the running app.
> - Several accumulated changes improve backup streaming, dev-server
health, static UI caching/logging, diagnostic-file ignores, and instance
isolation.
> - These are operational improvements that can land independently from
product UI work.
> - This pull request groups the dev-infra and backup changes from the
split branch into one standalone branch.
> - The benefit is safer local operation, easier manual backups, less
noisy dev output, and less cross-instance auth leakage.
## What Changed
- Added a manual instance database backup endpoint and route tests.
- Streamed backup/restore handling to avoid materializing large payloads
at once.
- Reduced dev static UI log/cache churn and ignored Node diagnostic
report captures.
- Added guarded dev auto-restart health polling coverage.
- Preserved worktree config during provisioning and scoped auth cookies
by instance.
- Added a Discord daily digest helper script and environment
documentation.
- Hardened adapter-route and startup feedback export tests around the
changed infrastructure.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/db/src/backup-lib.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-database-backups-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/adapter-routes.test.ts

server/src/__tests__/http-log-policy.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/vite-html-renderer.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/better-auth.test.ts`
- Split integration check: merged after the runtime/governance branch
and before UI branches with no merge conflicts.
- Confirmed this branch does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml`.
## Risks
- Medium risk: touches server startup, backup streaming, auth cookie
naming, dev health checks, and worktree provisioning.
- Backup endpoint behavior depends on existing board/admin access
controls and database backup helpers.
- No database migrations are included.
> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5.4 tool-enabled coding model, agentic
code-editing/runtime with local shell and GitHub CLI access; exact
context window and reasoning mode are not exposed by the Paperclip
harness.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for autonomous AI companies.
> - V1 needs to stay local-first while also supporting shared,
authenticated deployments.
> - Human operators need real identities, company membership, invite
flows, profile surfaces, and company-scoped access controls.
> - Agents and operators also need the existing issue, inbox, workspace,
approval, and plugin flows to keep working under those authenticated
boundaries.
> - This branch accumulated the multi-user implementation, follow-up QA
fixes, workspace/runtime refinements, invite UX improvements,
release-branch conflict resolution, and review hardening.
> - This pull request consolidates that branch onto the current `master`
branch as a single reviewable PR.
> - The benefit is a complete multi-user implementation path with tests
and docs carried forward without dropping existing branch work.
## What Changed
- Added authenticated human-user access surfaces: auth/session routes,
company user directory, profile settings, company access/member
management, join requests, and invite management.
- Added invite creation, invite landing, onboarding, logo/branding,
invite grants, deduped join requests, and authenticated multi-user E2E
coverage.
- Tightened company-scoped and instance-admin authorization across
board, plugin, adapter, access, issue, and workspace routes.
- Added profile-image URL validation hardening, avatar preservation on
name-only profile updates, and join-request uniqueness migration cleanup
for pending human requests.
- Added an atomic member role/status/grants update path so Company
Access saves no longer leave partially updated permissions.
- Improved issue chat, inbox, assignee identity rendering,
sidebar/account/company navigation, workspace routing, and execution
workspace reuse behavior for multi-user operation.
- Added and updated server/UI tests covering auth, invites, membership,
issue workspace inheritance, plugin authz, inbox/chat behavior, and
multi-user flows.
- Merged current `public-gh/master` into this branch, resolved all
conflicts, and verified no `pnpm-lock.yaml` change is included in this
PR diff.

- Confirmed branch has no uncommitted changes and is `0` commits behind
`public-gh/master` before PR creation.
- Confirmed no `pnpm-lock.yaml` change is staged or present in the PR
diff.
## Risks
- High review surface area: this PR contains the accumulated multi-user
branch plus follow-up fixes, so reviewers should focus especially on
company-boundary enforcement and authenticated-vs-local deployment
behavior.
- UI behavior changed across invites, inbox, issue chat, access
settings, and sidebar navigation; no browser screenshots are included in
this branch-consolidation PR.
- Plugin install, upgrade, and lifecycle/config mutations now require
instance-admin access, which is intentional but may change expectations
for non-admin board users.
- A join-request dedupe migration rejects duplicate pending human
requests before creating unique indexes; deployments with unusual
historical duplicates should review the migration behavior.
- Company member role/status/grant saves now use a new combined
endpoint; older separate endpoints remain for compatibility.
- Full production build was not run locally in this heartbeat; CI should
cover the full matrix.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex coding agent, GPT-5-based model, CLI/tool-use
environment. Exact deployed model identifier and context window were not
exposed by the runtime.

already-developed multi-user branch, and no browser screenshots were
captured during this heartbeat.

Add @electric-sql/pglite so the server can run without an external
Postgres instance. When DATABASE_URL is not set, the server auto-creates
an embedded PGlite database in ./data/pglite with schema push on startup.
- Add createPgliteDb() alongside the existing createDb()
- Make DATABASE_URL optional in server config
- Update drizzle config to glob schema files
- Update migrate script to support both Postgres and PGlite
- Add data/ to .gitignore for local PGlite storage
