## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The SSH environment fixture detached its listener process. Test teardown
removed the temporary fixture directory without stopping and awaiting
the listener. Repeated test runs left orphan listeners that held
loopback ports.
**Expected behavior**
The fixture teardown stops its listener, waits for exit, and then
removes the fixture directory. A forged state file must not signal an
unrelated process.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the SSH fixture test repeatedly.
2. Inspect listener processes after each run.
3. Observe orphan listeners or ports that remain held.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit 324e1331f8.
**Deployment mode**
Not deployment-related.
**Installation method**
Built from source.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Custom / external plugin adapter.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Access context**
Unclear / not applicable.
**Node.js version**
Node.js 24.
**Operating system**
Linux.
**Relevant logs or output**
A diagnostic found orphan listeners with parent process ID 1. Each
orphan held a loopback port.
**Relevant config (if applicable)**
Not applicable.
**Additional context**
The change keeps the process identifier reuse check and limits signals
to fixture-owned processes.
## What Changed
- Add one teardown owner for each SSH fixture.
- Stop the detached listener and wait for exit before removing the
fixture root.
- Add bounded SIGTERM and SIGKILL escalation with ESRCH guards.
- Validate the state file before any signal call.
- Require a positive safe-integer PID and safe absolute paths rooted at
the fixture directory.
- Require sshdConfigPath to equal the fixture root sshd_config path.
- Add regression coverage for listener cleanup and forged state files.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck`
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/ssh-fixture.test.ts`
- Confirm the fixture listener count stays at zero before and after the
test run.
## Risks
The teardown now sends signals to a fixture-owned process. State
validation and the existing PID reuse check limit the target. The
escalation has bounded waits.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server and the browser need clear error reports when an operator
enables external monitoring.
> - Paperclip already uses an opt-in OpenTelemetry pattern for server
traces.
> - Sentry can provide error reports for both runtime paths when the
operator sets one data source name.
> - This pull request adds one opt-in Sentry gate for the server and the
browser.
> - The benefit is faster diagnosis while the default setup sends no
Sentry data.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What is improved?**
Paperclip gains optional error monitoring for server and browser
failures.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (server, UI, and shared authentication data).
**Current behavior**
Paperclip has no built-in Sentry error capture for server failures or
browser boundary failures. Operators must inspect local logs and browser
tools.
**Proposed behavior**
When the operator sets `SENTRY_DSN`, the server and authenticated
browser use the same Sentry project. When the variable is absent, both
paths stay inactive. The server loads Sentry dynamically and fails open
when the optional package is absent.
**Reason and benefit**
Operators can inspect runtime errors in one Sentry project. The default
setup remains local and sends no monitoring data.
**Breaking changes**
None when `SENTRY_DSN` remains unset. Authenticated session responses
add the optional `sentryDsn` field.
**Additional context**
The implementation uses built-in Sentry privacy options. It disables
default HTTP context and breadcrumb integrations and keeps
`sendDefaultPii` false.
## What Changed
- Add an opt-in server Sentry gate with dynamic package loading and
fail-open behavior.
- Add the Sentry data source name to the authenticated session response.
- Add an authenticated browser Sentry gate and React error boundary
capture.
- Add tests for server, browser, route, and application error paths.
- Document activation, installation, privacy settings, capture behavior,
and operator controls.
## Verification
- Run `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/sentry.test.ts`.
- Run `npx vitest run ui/src/lib/sentry.test.ts`.
- Run `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/auth-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/shutdown.test.ts`.
- Confirm that the full continuous integration suite passes on this pull
request.
- Leave `SENTRY_DSN` unset and confirm that the server and browser gates
stay inactive.
- Set `SENTRY_DSN` and install the optional Sentry packages before a
manual capture check.
## Risks
The operator controls the Sentry project and accepts the data risk when
the operator enables the feature. Error objects can contain messages,
stacks, or cause chains with private values. The default configuration
sends no data because the feature stays off without `SENTRY_DSN`. A
missing optional server package does not stop server boot.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, with tool use, repository inspection, GitHub CLI
operations, and code review support.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - #12227 vendored a pnpm patch of the `postgres` driver to stop a
teardown race (`nextWrite` firing after the socket is nulled) from
crashing the process and failing green CI shards
> - Maintainer call: carrying a vendored driver patch is not worth it
for a CI flake — the patch adds a maintenance obligation on every future
driver upgrade
> - The race is an upstream bug in `postgres@3.4.9`; the plan is to wait
for an upstream release that fixes it and bump the dependency instead
> - This pull request reverts #12227 in full: the patch file, its
`package.json` registration, and the regression test that exercised the
patched behavior
> - The benefit is an unmodified dependency graph; the known flake
signature returns and is retried when it bites
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Reverts #12227.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Dependency hygiene: `postgres@3.4.9` is consumed unmodified again, with
no `pnpm.patchedDependencies` entry to re-evaluate on every driver
upgrade.
**Current behavior**
The repo carries `patches/postgres@3.4.9.patch` (null-socket guard in
the driver's deferred write flush, plus an `execute()` refusal on
socketless connections) and a regression test for it.
**Proposed behavior**
Plain upstream `postgres@3.4.9`. The teardown race stays an upstream
bug: a green test shard can occasionally fail with `Vitest caught 1
unhandled error` and `TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading
'write')` at `Immediate.nextWrite`; the remedy is retrying the shard
until an upstream driver release fixes the race and we bump.
**Reason and benefit**
A vendored driver patch is a standing maintenance cost that outweighs
the flake it suppressed.
## What Changed
- Reverts #12227 (`6c7c0fd1f`) in full: removes
`patches/postgres@3.4.9.patch`, its `pnpm.patchedDependencies`
registration in root `package.json`, and
`packages/db/src/postgres-driver-teardown.test.ts`. No lockfile
involvement — the merged commit never touched `pnpm-lock.yaml` and the
refresh bot had not yet recorded the patch.
## Verification
- `pnpm install` on the reverted tree is coherent; the full
`packages/db` suite passes (26 files / 100 tests).
- `git revert` applied cleanly with no conflicts.
## Risks
- Low. This restores the exact pre-#12227 state. The known flake
signature returns; it fails jobs whose tests all passed and is cleared
by retrying the shard.
## Model Used
Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`, Anthropic) via Claude Code — agentic
coding session with tool use.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server and its test suites talk to PostgreSQL through the
`postgres` (postgres.js) driver, and tests routinely tear their
databases down while connections still carry traffic
> - The driver flushes small buffered frames from a `setImmediate`, and
that deferred flush calls `socket.write()` without checking that the
socket still exists; a reserved connection whose backend died keeps
accepting queries, so the flush can fire with a null socket
> - The resulting `TypeError` escapes from a timer callback with no
try/catch above it, crashing the process — in CI this fails suites whose
tests all passed ("Vitest caught 1 unhandled error"), and the same crash
is reported against the driver in the wild after ECONNRESET
> - The latest driver release (3.4.9) still has the bug, so this pull
request adds a pnpm patch guarding the flush and normalizing timer state
on close, plus a deterministic regression test
> - The benefit is CI that no longer fails randomly on a teardown race,
and production processes that survive a database connection dying at the
wrong moment
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists; the underlying problem follows the bug-report
template.
**What happened?**
CI jobs fail with all tests passing: vitest reports `Vitest caught 1
unhandled error during the test run` with `TypeError: Cannot read
properties of null (reading 'write')` at `postgres/src/connection.js`
`Immediate.nextWrite`. The attribution points at whichever test file
happened to be running (e.g. `native-codex-runner.integration.test.ts`),
because the throw comes from a process-level timer callback, not from a
test. The identical crash is reported against the upstream driver by
other projects after `ECONNRESET` (e.g. immich-app/immich#25098).
**Expected behavior**
A connection dying between a write being scheduled and its deferred
flush must settle the affected queries through the driver's normal
connection-error path, never throw from a bare timer callback.
**Steps to reproduce**
Run the new `packages/db/src/postgres-driver-teardown.test.ts` with the
patch removed: reserve a connection (`sql.reserve()` — the same surface
`sql.begin()` uses), destroy the backend socket, wait for the client to
process the close, then issue one query on the reserved connection. The
deferred flush fires one tick later with `socket === null` and crashes
the process with exactly the CI signature.
**Paperclip version or commit**
master `198fc8b28`, `postgres@3.4.9` (latest release; bug still present
on the driver's master branch).
## What Changed
- `patches/postgres@3.4.9.patch` (new, wired via
`pnpm.patchedDependencies`): `nextWrite` returns without writing when
`socket === null`, dropping the buffered bytes — the close path has
already settled every in-flight query, so those bytes have nowhere to
go. The `closed()` and `terminate()` handlers additionally reset
`nextWriteTimer`/`chunk` after `clearImmediate`, so a stale cleared
handle cannot silently block a future reconnect's first flush. All three
shipped builds (`src`, `cjs`, `cf`) get the identical change.
- `packages/db/src/postgres-driver-teardown.test.ts` (new):
deterministic reproduction against a minimal in-process fake wire server
(startup auth + an empty result for the `fetch_types` bootstrap).
Asserts the late query settles with `CONNECTION_DESTROYED` through
`sql.end()` instead of crashing the process.
## Verification
- The regression test fails against unpatched `postgres@3.4.9` with the
exact CI signature (verified by running the same scenario against an
unpatched checkout) and passes with the patch.
- Full `packages/db` suite: 27 files / 101 tests pass.
- Spot-checked server suites that exercise the database through the
patched driver.
## Risks
- Low. The behavioral change activates only in a state that previously
crashed the process (write flush with no socket). Dropping the buffered
bytes matches what the connection's close path already promised callers:
every in-flight query has been settled with a connection error.
- The timer/chunk reset in `closed()`/`terminate()` prevents a
theoretical stale-handle hang after reconnect; on the normal path both
were already reset by `nextWrite`.
- The patch pins to `postgres@3.4.9`; a future driver upgrade will
surface the patch for re-evaluation (pnpm fails loudly on version
mismatch), and the guard can be dropped if the fix lands upstream.
## Model Used
Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`, Anthropic) via Claude Code — agentic
coding session with tool use (driver source analysis, wire-protocol fake
server, local test execution).

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent adapters stage referenced projects into controlled sandboxes
> - The ignore scan must preserve exact Git path bytes and fail closed
on unsafe input
> - Unbounded ignored-path data and raw diagnostics can harm resource

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The referenced-project ignore scan trimmed NUL-delimited Git paths. It
also accepted a large ignored-path set and exposed raw failure details
through staging errors and warnings.
**Expected behavior**
The scan must preserve leading and trailing whitespace in Git paths. It
must reject oversized ignored-path data and expose only fixed failure
categories.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the referenced-project ignore scan with paths that start or end
with whitespace.
2. Provide more than 10,000 ignored entries or more than 2 MiB of path
bytes.
3. Trigger a scan failure and inspect the reported reason.
**Paperclip version or commit**

**Deployment mode**
Built from source.
**Installation method**
Built from source.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Additional context**
This change covers the overlay diff, untracked, deleted, and ignored Git
paths. It also retries only typed scheduler saturation failures.
## What Changed
- Preserve all bytes in NUL-delimited Git path records.
- Bound ignored-entry count and total UTF-8 path bytes during parsing.
- Redact scan failure details to three fixed reason categories.
- Retry only the typed scheduler saturation error, with three total
attempts and 1 second then 2 second waits.
- Add tests for path whitespace, limits, diagnostics, retry behavior,
and scheduler code parity.
## Verification
- `npx tsc --noEmit` in `packages/adapter-utils` passed.
- `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils` passed with 977 tests and 4
skipped.
- Continuous integration must run the server suite and the full
repository gates.
## Risks
The scan now rejects ignored-path data above fixed limits. Saturation
retries add up to 3 seconds before a final failure. The resolver still
fails closed for all other errors.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5. The model used tool calls, code inspection, and command
execution. The exact context window and reasoning mode are not exposed
by the runtime.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent adapters run workspace restore steps when an ACP run ends.
> - Claude, Codex, and Gemini each kept a near-identical teardown
closure.
> - Duplicate closures require the same defect fix in three files.
> - This pull request adds one shared workspace-restore teardown factory
and keeps each adapter's message strings.
> - The benefit is one tested restore-failure path with the same output
and outcome for all three adapters.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The Claude, Codex, and Gemini ACP adapters restore the workspace during
teardown and report restore failures with an allowlisted message.
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/adapters/` and `packages/adapter-utils/`.
**Current behavior**
Each adapter keeps a near-identical closure. The closure logs a start
line, restores the workspace, classifies errors, and logs a fixed
failure line.
**Proposed behavior**
A shared `createWorkspaceRestoreTeardown` factory owns the common steps.
Each adapter passes its staged runtime, log sink, start line, and
failure prefix.
**Reason and benefit**
The shared factory removes duplicate error handling. One tested
implementation now preserves the existing output and outcome for all
three adapters.
**Breaking changes**
None. The refactor preserves the emitted lines and returned outcomes.
**Additional context**
This pull request contains no public issue reference because no related
public issue was found.
## What Changed
- Add `createWorkspaceRestoreTeardown` to `packages/adapter-utils`.
- Move the shared restore, classify, and allowlisted log flow into the
factory.
- Update the Claude, Codex, and Gemini ACP adapters to call the factory.
- Add a table-driven test for all three message pairs.
- Keep one end-to-end restore-failure regression test per adapter.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local typecheck`

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

explicitly (`ignoreResolution` on `SandboxAdditionalSource`)

against the physical toplevel git prints, so any symlinked path fails
ignore resolution spuriously — three of the suite's own tests fail on
macOS because temp dirs live under the `/var` → `/private/var` symlink
> - This pull request supplies the missing property at the test call
site and makes the descendant comparison symlink-safe via realpath on
both sides
> - The benefit is a green master again, plus referenced-project staging
that works from symlinked checkouts and temp directories
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists; the underlying problem follows the bug-report
template.
**What happened?**
`packages/adapter-utils` fails `tsc` on master:
`src/sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts(2284,29): error TS2741: Property
'ignoreResolution' is missing in type '{ localPath: string; projectId:
string; }' but required in type 'SandboxAdditionalSource'.` Every
Build/Typecheck CI job is red. Independently,
`resolveReferencedSourceIgnore` returns `{ kind: "failed", reason:
"referenced project path is not a descendant of its own Git top level:
/var/... under /private/var/..." }` for any symlinked project path, and
three tests in the suite fail on macOS.
**Expected behavior**
Master typechecks. A referenced project whose path reaches git through a
symlink (macOS temp dirs, symlinked checkouts) resolves its ignore set
normally, and the descendant check still fails closed for genuinely
foreign paths.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec tsc --noEmit` on
master — TS2741 at `sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts:2284`.
2. On macOS: `pnpm vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts` — three
`resolveReferencedSourceIgnore` tests fail with the "not a descendant"
reason above.
**Paperclip version or commit**
master `29d12045f`.
## What Changed
- `sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts:2284`: the one call site missing
`ignoreResolution` now passes `{ kind: "other" }`, matching every
sibling call site from the same change.
- `sandbox-managed-runtime.ts`: `resolveReferencedSourceIgnore` resolves
both the git toplevel and the caller's `localPath` through a new
`physicalPath` helper (realpath with a resolve fallback) before the
descendant comparison. Git prints physical toplevels, so both sides must
be physical; the fallback keeps the check failing closed when a path
vanishes mid-run.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts` — 61/61 pass
on macOS (previously 58 passing, 3 failing, plus the typecheck break).
- `tsc --noEmit` in `packages/adapter-utils` is clean.
## Risks
- Low. The behavioral change is confined to path normalization before an
existing comparison; a realpath failure falls back to the prior string
comparison, so the fail-closed property is preserved.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Sandbox agents send callback requests through a generated gateway.
> - The HTTP/2 callback path converts each full request body to a UTF-8
string.
> - The same path converts that string back to a buffer before it sends
the request.

forwarder.
> - The benefit is less copying and unchanged queue payload behavior.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The sandbox callback gateway HTTP/2 send path copies the full request
body through a UTF-8 string before it sends the body.
**Subsystem affected**
The affected subsystem is `packages/adapter-utils`, which contains
sandbox gateway and HTTP/2 adapter utilities.
**Current behavior**
The gateway reads the body into a buffer, converts the complete body to
a UTF-8 string, and converts that string back to a buffer for the HTTP/2
path. The queue path stores the string payload.
**Proposed behavior**
The gateway keeps a byte reader for the HTTP/2 path. A thin text wrapper
keeps the queue path behavior. The HTTP/2 path sends the original body
buffer.
**Reason and benefit**
The extra conversions add work and memory use without changing the
HTTP/2 body bytes. Direct buffer forwarding removes that work and
preserves the size limit and reject behavior.
**Breaking changes**
None. The queue payload remains a string. The body size limit, content
type check, and reject point remain unchanged.
**Additional context**
This change has no public issue link. The repository roadmap search
found no duplicate planned work. The implementation also adds tests for
non-ASCII JSON, malformed UTF-8, size limits, and queue payload shape.
## What Changed
- Add `readBodyBytes(req)` for byte-preserving body reads.
- Keep `readBody(req)` as a string wrapper for the queue path.
- Send the byte buffer directly on the HTTP/2 path.
- Add tests for byte identity, malformed UTF-8, size limits, and queue
payload shape.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclip/adapter-utils test
src/sandbox-callback-bridge.test.ts` passed with 51 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclip/adapter-utils exec tsc --noEmit` passed.
- The tests spawn the generated gateway and the real host HTTP/2 bridge.
- The tests verify byte identity, malformed UTF-8, pre-forward size
rejection, queue file protection, and string queue payloads.
- Full repository CI must pass before merge.
## Risks
Low risk. The HTTP/2 path changes its internal body conversion only. The
queue path keeps the prior string payload. The size limit and reject
point stay unchanged.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code review assistance. The exact
runtime context window is managed by the Codex service.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The adapter utilities package provides transport code for sandbox
agents
> - The retired `duplex_v1` broker no longer produces or consumes
body-chunk frames

options, and tests
> - This pull request removes that dead code and keeps the READY
handshake unchanged
> - The benefit is a smaller transport surface with fewer unused paths
to maintain
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This change improves the adapter utilities code that supports sandbox
duplex readiness and frame handling.
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/adapter-utils/` — sandbox transport codecs, execution targets,
and callback bridge tests.
**Current behavior**
The repository keeps body-chunk frame types, validators, a body spool,
decoder limits, and tests after the `duplex_v1` broker removal. No live
producer or consumer uses this code.
**Proposed behavior**
Remove the unused body-chunk protocol code and retain the READY
handshake, its strict checks, and its size limits.
**Reason and benefit**
The removal reduces dead code and keeps the host and embedded gateway
paths easier to inspect. It adds no new behavior.
**Breaking changes**
The removed frame types now decode as `unknown_type`. The live readiness
gate already ignores those frames. The READY handshake stays
byte-for-byte compatible.
**Additional context**
This cleanup follows [PR
#12171](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/12171), which
removed the duplex broker.
## What Changed
- Remove `duplex-body-spool.ts` and its test.
- Remove unused body-chunk frame types, validators, decoder code,
vectors, and limits.
- Remove the unused `reassembledBody` option and decoder limit
environment entry.
- Remove the embedded gateway decoder copy and the unused frame type
map.
- Keep the READY handshake and its existing boundary tests unchanged in
behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm -F @paperclip/adapter-utils typecheck` passes.
- The duplex frame codec test passes with 30 tests.
- The sandbox execution-target test passes with 136 tests.
- The sandbox callback bridge test passes with 46 tests.
- CI must confirm all required checks after it starts.
## Risks
Low risk. The change removes code only. The READY handshake, HTTP/2 body
path, and byte-ledger path remain unchanged.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent adapters restore sandbox work into project workspaces after a
run
> - The restore lock used the target workspace parent, which can reject
writes
> - The teardown then hid restore errors, so a run could report success
with lost work
> - This pull request moves the lock into an instance-scoped root and
reports safe restore failure codes
> - The benefit is reliable restore coordination and visible failure
evidence without changing run success semantics
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs: #10914
## What Changed
- Move the workspace-restore merge lock into a private, instance-scoped
root.
- Derive the lock key from the canonical target path with SHA-256.
- Resolve the lock root from the caller environment and reject unsafe
root types.
- Classify restore failures with three allowlisted codes.
- Add the failure code to run result JSON without exposing a host path
or process identifier.
- Keep restore failure fail-open for the run exit code and run status.
## Verification
- Run `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/workspace-restore-merge.test.ts`.
- Run `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/run-fault-matrix.test.ts`.
- Run the four Codex credential suites.
- Confirm the branch includes the current `master` commit and no manual
lockfile edit.
- Confirm all pull request checks and the Greptile review reach a
terminal green state.
## Risks
- The lock path changes for workspace restore and removes the
sibling-directory fallback.
- A misconfigured or inaccessible instance home can still stop lock
setup.
- Restore remains fail-open, so callers must inspect the result evidence
when a restore fails.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5. The model used tool calls and code execution to validate
and route an author-provided change. The implementing engineer authored
the code.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent adapters move files between the host and sandbox during a run
> - The sync transport reports transferred bytes, but some progress
lines discard this value
> - Discarded byte totals make large transfers display as `0.0 MB`
> - This pull request passes the transport total to the affected
progress lines
> - The benefit is accurate transfer progress without changing file
movement or confinement checks
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Three file-sync progress lines displayed `0.0 MB` when the transport
moved data. The affected paths cover referenced-project staging, native
git-history export, and native workspace restore.
**Expected behavior**
Each progress line should display the bytes that the sync transport
transfers. A provider that reports zero bytes should preserve the known
host-side value for inbound workspace sync.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a sandbox task that stages a referenced project.
2. Run a task that uses native git-history export or native workspace
restore.
3. Inspect the file-sync progress lines during each transfer.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit `8062612baa20036a1defce8bbd683c038ba187d5`.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with the adapter-utils Vitest suite.
## What Changed
- Add a helper that sums valid `bytesTransferred` values from a
`SandboxSyncResult`.
- Use the transport total for referenced-project staging, native
git-history export, and native workspace restore.
- Preserve the caller count when referenced-project staging reports zero
bytes.
- Add tests for non-zero progress and the zero-byte fallback.
## Verification
- Run `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts` from the
repository root.
- Run the TypeScript check for `packages/adapter-utils`.
- Confirm that the new tests cover referenced-project staging, native
workspace restore, native git-history export, and the zero-byte
fallback.
## Risks
This change affects progress reporting only. It does not change
transferred files, transfer order, provider behavior, or confinement
checks.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, with tool use and code execution. The model
reviewed and routed the author-provided change. The implementing
engineer authored the code.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Paperclip Runner now has protocol, provider, tool, package,
persistence, and hidden server boundaries.
> - The server still cannot select that path for a real agent heartbeat.
> - A new runtime must not change any existing direct adapter.
> - An experimental runtime must fail closed when its rollout flag is
off.
> - This pull request adds one guarded Codex vertical slice through
runnerd.
> - The benefit is a production-built runner path that users cannot
start by default.

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - An agent's runtime mounts only its own enabled skills; nothing tells
the model what else the company skill library holds
> - From inside a sandbox, "installed but not enabled for me" and "does
not exist" look identical, so agents tell users freshly installed skills
are not installed
> - This pull request renders the library as a deterministic markdown
section appended to claude-local agent instructions, and adds a
paperclipListSkills MCP tool
> - The benefit is that agents report the true state ("installed, not
enabled for me — ask an operator to enable it") instead of a false
negative
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
How agents reason about the company skill library at runtime.
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/adapter-utils` (new pure builder),
`packages/adapters/claude-local` (instructions append),
`packages/mcp-server` (new tool).
**Current behavior**
The runtime hands adapters the full library list, but only the agent's
enabled skills are mounted, and no prompt content or MCP tool describes
the rest. Agents inspect their sandbox, find nothing, and report
installed skills as not installed.
**Proposed behavior**
A "Company skill library" markdown section lists every skill as
`enabled`, `installed, not enabled for you`, or `enabled but
unavailable: <cause>`, with instructions to report the not-enabled state
accurately and ask an operator to enable it. claude-local appends it to
the agent instructions text. A `paperclipListSkills` MCP tool exposes
the same list on demand.
**Breaking changes**
None. Other adapters are untouched (they can adopt the builder later);
the manifest is deterministic, so the claude-local prompt-bundle cache
only busts when the library actually changes.
## What Changed
- New `packages/adapter-utils/src/skill-library-manifest.ts` with
`buildSkillLibraryManifestMarkdown` (pure, key-sorted, deterministic;
renders the missing-cause detail from #12146).
- `packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/execute.ts` appends the
manifest to `combinedInstructionsContents` (creating it when no
instructions file is configured).
- `packages/mcp-server/src/tools.ts` adds `paperclipListSkills` hitting
`GET /companies/:companyId/skills`.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/skill-library-manifest.test.ts` (from repo
root) — 3 tests: byte-identical output for shuffled input, state
rendering incl. the unavailable cause, change detection.
- `cd packages/mcp-server && npx vitest run` — new tool routing test
passes (13 passed; 1 pre-existing failure on my machine reproduces
unchanged at the branch base).
- `cd packages/adapters/claude-local && npx vitest run` — 244 passed, 1
skipped.
- `pnpm run typecheck` clean in adapter-utils, mcp-server, claude-local.
## Risks
- Prompt growth is one line per installed skill plus a five-line header
— bounded and only present when the library is non-empty. Stacked on
#12146 so the manifest's "enabled but unavailable" state reflects real
materialization failures.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Runtime skill listing materializes each company skill's files before
handing them to the agent's adapter
> - A materialization failure was swallowed with catch-to-null, and the
skill silently vanished from the runtime while the library still showed
it installed
> - Operators saw "installed", agents saw nothing, and nobody saw the
cause; on claude-local a missing desired skill could even crash the
prompt-bundle hasher
> - This pull request turns both failure paths into structured "missing"
entries with the real error and makes every adapter skip unmountable
entries explicitly
> - The benefit is that a broken skill shows up as broken, with its
cause, instead of not existing
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A company skill whose runtime files fail to materialize (deleted source,
missing stored SKILL.md copy, failed version snapshot) disappears from
`listRuntimeSkillEntries` with no trace. Agent skill snapshots report a
generic "not available" with no cause. On claude-local, a desired skill
whose source path does not exist reaches the prompt-bundle hasher, whose
`fs.lstat` throws and can fail the whole run.
**Expected behavior**
The skill appears with `sourceStatus: "missing"` and a `missingDetail`
carrying the underlying error, snapshots and the UI show it as broken,
and adapters skip it at mount time with a logged warning instead of
crashing or dangling-symlinking.
**Steps to reproduce**
Install a local-path skill referenced by an agent, delete its source
directory contents so the stored SKILL.md copy cannot be recovered, and
start a run: before this change the skill vanishes from the runtime set
silently; on claude-local a pinned-but-unmaterializable version can fail
bundle preparation.
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/company-skills.ts` `resolveRuntimeSkillSource`:
both `.catch(() => null)` sites (version snapshot, runtime
materialization) now return the structured `{status: "missing", source,
detail}` shape the deliberate missing branch already used, with the
underlying error message in `detail`.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.ts`:
`isPaperclipSkillSourceMissing` is exported with a doc comment.
- `packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/execute.ts`: missing
desired skills are filtered out of the prompt bundle and each one logs a
`[paperclip] Warning` with its detail to the run output.
- `cursor-local`, `gemini-local`, `kimi-local`, `opencode-local`,
`pi-local` `execute.ts`: mount loops (and the cursor/gemini injection
calls) skip missing entries instead of symlinking a nonexistent path.
## Verification
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/company-skills-service.test.ts` — new test pins the
missing-with-cause entry for a failed materialization. Nine pre-existing
project-workspace tests in this file fail on my machine at clean
`master` too (environment-specific); their count is unchanged by this
PR.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-runtime-skills.test.ts
src/__tests__/claude-local-skill-sync.test.ts
src/__tests__/cursor-local-skill-sync.test.ts
src/__tests__/cursor-local-skill-injection.test.ts
src/__tests__/gemini-local-skill-sync.test.ts` — 12 tests pass.
- `cd packages/adapters/claude-local && npx vitest run` — 244 passed, 1
skipped.
- `pnpm run typecheck` clean in server, adapter-utils, and all six
touched adapters.
## Risks
- Runtime skill entry lists grow by the previously dropped entries (now
flagged missing). All shipped consumers either intersect with desired
sets, already handle `sourceStatus: "missing"`, or now skip missing
entries at mount time. The snapshot layer already understood the missing
shape via the `materializeMissing: false` path, so downstream contracts
are unchanged.

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

work

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Working with a company whose agents arrived paused from a company
import.
**Subsystem affected**
Shared constants (`PAUSE_REASONS`), company import service
(`server/src/services/company-portability.ts`), task thread and new-task
dialog UI.
**Current behavior**
Imported agents get `pauseReason: "system"`, the same value
plugin-managed and built-in agent pauses use. Assigning an issue to a
paused agent silently drops the wake. The chat-style task thread renders
no paused notice; the legacy thread's notice says "It was paused by the
system." with no action and only renders when the composer is shown.
**Proposed behavior**
Import writes `pauseReason: "import"`. The paused-assignee notice
explains the import pause, offers an inline "Resume agent" button
(suppressed for budget pauses, which clear on their own), and renders
for read-only viewers. The chat-style task thread shows the same notice
above the composer. The new-task dialog warns when the selected assignee
is paused.
**Breaking changes**
None. `PAUSE_REASONS` is widened, not changed; the column already stores
free-text values in other paths, and every consumer is an equality check
with a manual fallback, so an older client shows the generic fallback
copy for the new value.
## What Changed
- `packages/shared/src/constants.ts`: `"import"` added to
`PAUSE_REASONS`.
- `server/src/services/company-portability.ts`: the import pause patch
writes `pauseReason: "import"`.
- `ui/src/components/IssueChatThread.tsx`: `IssueAssigneePausedNotice`
gains import copy, a Resume button, test ids, and is exported; it now
renders even when the composer is hidden. New `onResumeAssignee` /
`resumeAssigneePending` props.
- `ui/src/components/TaskChatThread.tsx`: renders the paused-assignee
notice above the composer dock (the chat-style thread previously had no
paused surface at all).
- `ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.tsx`: wires a resume mutation
(`agentsApi.resume`) through both thread variants and invalidates the
company agent list.
- `ui/src/components/NewIssueDialog.tsx`: inline note when the chosen
assignee is paused, with import-specific copy.
## Verification
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts` — 82 tests pass (pause pin
updated to `"import"`).
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/IssueChatThread.test.tsx
src/components/NewIssueDialog.test.tsx
src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx` — 120 tests pass (new: notice
copy per reason, resume click, budget suppression, active-agent null
render, dialog note).
- `pnpm run typecheck` in `packages/shared`, `server`, and `ui` — clean.
## Risks
- Low risk. The resume action calls the existing `POST
/agents/:id/resume` route with its existing guards. Existing rows keep
`"system"` and fall back to the current generic copy; only new imports
write `"import"`.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent runs need durable records so Paperclip can explain results and
final status changes.
> - The current heartbeat tables support direct adapters, but they do
not model native runner evidence.
> - The runner transport and server coordinator must share a strict
finalization contract before they write production data.
> - This pull request adds that contract and its additive database
boundary.
> - It does not select the Paperclip Runner or change any existing
adapter execution path.
> - The benefit is a reviewable persistence layer that preserves all
current behavior and supports later guarded integration.

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

<h2>v0.28.2</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Fix tree shaking bug due to TypeScript import alias (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/evanw/esbuild/issues/4507">#4507</a>)</p>
<p>This release fixes a bug that could cause esbuild to incorrectly
tree-shake imports that are used in a TypeScript type alias under
certain circumstances. Affected code uses a TypeScript-specific
<code>import</code> assignment and looks something like this:</p>
<pre lang="ts"><code>import Base from './dep.js';
import Alias = Base.SomeType;
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>Fix CSS minification bug involving <code>&</code> (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/evanw/esbuild/issues/4497">#4497</a>)</p>
<p>This release fixes a bug where esbuild's CSS minifier incorrectly
removed a <code>&</code> when it was unsafe to do so. Here is an
example:</p>
<pre lang="css"><code>/* Original code */
.a .b {
& .b:not(& .c) {
color: red;
}
}
<p>/* Old output (with --minify) */<br />
.a .b{.b:not(& .c){color:red}}</p>
<p>/* New output (with --minify) */<br />
.a .b{& .b:not(& .c){color:red}}<br />
</code></pre></p>
<p>This should match <code><span class="a"><span
class="b"><span
class="b">yes</span></span></span></code>
but not <code><span class="a"><span
class="b">no</span></span></code>. The old
output incorrectly matched both.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Avoid overwriting input files without <code>--allow-overwrite</code>
(<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/evanw/esbuild/issues/4484">#4484</a>)</p>
<p>For example: <code>esbuild input.js --outfile=input.js</code> tells
esbuild to overwrite <code>input.js</code> with the output of running
esbuild on it. This was supposed to already be prevented by default, but
it accidentally regressed in version 0.17.0 and apparently didn't have
any test coverage. The error message was being printed but the input
file was still being overwritten. Oops.</p>
<p>This release puts the original behavior back. With this release,
esbuild should now actually avoid overwriting input files unless
<code>--allow-overwrite</code> is explicitly present. This is done by
not writing out any files when a build error is encountered.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Fix incorrect code generated when using top-level await (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/evanw/esbuild/issues/4498">#4498</a>)</p>
<p>Previously esbuild could generate code containing a syntax error in
complex scenarios involving top-level await used in a dependency cycle.
The problem was a missing <code>async</code> on one or more module
wrapper closures. With this release, esbuild now uses a fixed-point
iteration algorithm to correctly annotate all dependencies in the cycle
as needing an <code>async</code> module wrapper.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Fix a minification bug with lowered logical assignment operators (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/evanw/esbuild/issues/4508">#4508</a>)</p>
<p>This release fixes a bug that could cause esbuild to generate
incorrect code for logical assignment operators when lowering them to an
older target environment. Specifically the lowering process requires
duplicating the left-hand side, but esbuild incorrectly failed to count
the duplicate as a new usage when the left-hand side is an identifier.
That then caused the minifier to believe that the left-hand side was
only used once and could attempt to incorrectly inline an initializer
into the first usage. This bug has now been fixed:</p>
<pre lang="js"><code>// Original code
function foo() {
let x
bar(x ||= {})
</code></pre>
</li>
</ul>

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The adapter utilities provide sandbox transport paths for agent
execution
> - The retired `duplex_v1` path remains in host, gateway, and test code
after `http2_v1` replaced it
> - Retired transport code adds maintenance cost and leaves an unsafe
fallback for unknown gateway modes
> - This pull request removes the retired path, moves shared `http2_v1`
contracts to a leaf module, and closes mode dispatch to a fixed
allowlist
> - The benefit is a smaller transport surface and explicit failure for
unsupported modes
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12120
The `http2_v1` transport replaced `duplex_v1`, but the retired broker,
gateway, constants, and tests remain in the adapter utilities. An
unknown bridge mode can also fall through to the queue gateway when a
queue directory exists. This change removes the retired code and rejects
unsupported modes before gateway selection.
## What Changed
- Delete the host `duplex_v1` broker and its transport-only tests.
- Delete the in-sandbox duplex gateway and retired mode constants.
- Move shared `http2_v1` symbols into `bridge-transport-contract.ts`.
- Update the remaining importers and repair their focused tests.
- Validate bridge modes against `http2_v1` and `queue_v1` before queue
lookup.
- Keep `queue_v1`, `duplex-frame-codec.ts`, and duplex telemetry
dimensions unchanged.
## Verification
- [x] `npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/adapter-utils` passes.
- [x] `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src` passes: 48 files and
968 tests pass, with 4 pre-existing platform skips.
- [x] Full CI is green on this pull request.
- [x] Greptile review is complete and every finding is resolved.
## Risks
The change removes an internal transport that no host path selects. The
main risk is an overlooked import or test dependency. Targeted typecheck
and tests cover the adapter utility package. Full CI must confirm
workspace-wide compatibility.
## Model Used
Anthropic Claude Sonnet 5 assisted with the implementation, as recorded
in the commit. The commit does not record a context-window size or
reasoning mode.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent adapters use the HTTP/2 bridge to carry requests and responses
> - The bridge has an idle bound and a total-lifetime ceiling for
request bodies
> - The old renewable lifetime bound re-armed with each DATA chunk and
could not act before the idle bound
> - The code also repeated the same bounds and rationale in several
places
> - This pull request removes the unreachable renewable bound, keeps the
one-shot ceiling, and simplifies the shared bounds object
> - The benefit is clearer protection logic with the same default
request-body behavior
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The HTTP/2 bridge request-body reader uses several repeated bound
parameters and comments. One renewable lifetime bound cannot act before
the idle bound under the shipped defaults.
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/adapter-utils/` — HTTP/2 bridge adapter utilities.
**Current behavior**
The idle bound and renewable lifetime bound both re-arm after each DATA
chunk. The renewable bound therefore does not act on its own. The
total-lifetime ceiling also shares timer setup with the renewable bound.
**Proposed behavior**
Remove the renewable lifetime bound. Keep the total-lifetime ceiling as
an independent one-shot timer. Pass one bounds object to the bridge call
sites and keep tests for the idle bound and total-lifetime ceiling.
**Reason and benefit**
The change removes unreachable logic and repeated rationale. It keeps
the independent total-lifetime protection and makes the bound behavior
easier to review.
**Breaking changes**
The change removes two public constant and option names that
repository-wide search found unused outside this implementation. The
shipped default behavior does not change.
## What Changed
- Remove the renewable request-body lifetime bound and its public names.
- Keep the total-lifetime ceiling as a one-shot timer that starts when
the body read starts.
- Replace repeated bound parameters with one `Http2BridgeBodyBounds`
object.
- De-duplicate bound rationale comments.
- Add shared test helpers and update tests for the idle bound and
total-lifetime ceiling.
## Verification
- Run `npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/adapter-utils`.
- Run `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/http2-bridge-server.test.ts`.
- Wait for the pull request CI checks.
- Request the Greptile review and confirm a 5/5 verdict with no open
findings.
## Risks
The main risk is an incorrect timer lifetime after the renewable timer
removal. The one-shot ceiling remains independent, and the updated tests
cover its expiry and cleanup paths. The change does not alter the
shipped default bounds.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex based on GPT-5. Exact runtime model version is GPT-5. The
work used tool calls and code execution for repository inspection and
GitHub operations.

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

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

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runner package defines a provider-neutral protocol and semantic
action catalog.
> - Catalog membership alone must not grant access to an action.
> - Each run needs current company, actor, task, claim, mode, and
application-binding authority.
> - Mutating actions also need safe retry behavior and durable receipts.
> - This pull request adds a package-local authority and dispatch layer.
> - The benefit is a small and testable trust boundary before server
integration lands.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11962
This pull request replaces one bounded part of the archived large runner
change.
## What Changed
- Add run-scoped tool projection and optional tool discovery.
- Require an explicit application binding before an action is visible.
- Intersect actor claims with claims delegated to the run.
- Recheck company, actor, task, mode, state, role, claim, and policy
authority before each call.
- Validate action input and output with the canonical catalog schemas.
- Redact protected values and keep raw tool content out of semantic
receipts.
- Require atomic idempotency claims for mutating actions.
- Replay exact completed retries and reject changed or concurrent
retries.
- Recover a durable completed receipt if the primary receipt commit
fails, without re-executing the mutation.
- Add bounded authorization records and PRP semantic input and result
receipts.
- Document that this change adds no server binding or production tool
installation.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm build`
- 60 package TypeScript tests pass.
- 56 Rust unit and integration tests pass.
- Protocol, replay, and cross-language conformance checks pass.
- `pnpm test:run` completed with 4,684 passing and 19 skipped tests. It
reproduced 32 local baseline failures across 9 unchanged server files;
all corresponding hosted test shards pass.
- Every applicable GitHub Actions gate passes. The Storybook job skipped
because this PR has no UI changes.
- Socket and Snyk pass with no findings. Superagent completed neutral
with zero annotations because its external sandbox did not start within
120 seconds.
- Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved actionable comments.
- The diff changes 11 files.
## Risks
The main risk is an authorization or idempotency error at the tool
boundary. The dispatcher fails closed for malformed authority,
unavailable receipt storage, stale authority, unauthorized actions,
protected input, invalid binding output, and unrecoverable receipt
completion. The receipt store must recover a completed mutation outcome
idempotently if its primary commit fails; otherwise the claim remains
reserved for operator recovery rather than allowing automated
re-execution. Unbound actions are absent. No server or provider installs
these tools in this change. Existing adapters and application behavior
do not change.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5. Agentic coding mode used repository tools, code
execution, and automated tests.

Cross-cutting. This pull request extends private runner infrastructure
in `packages/paperclip-runner`.
**Problem or motivation**
The Codex provider bridge has no canonical description of the Paperclip
actions that a later authorization layer can project into a run.
Independent operation lists can drift in names, claims, task modes,
effects, and input bounds.
**Proposed solution**
Add one immutable v1 catalog for the first 27 Codex-spine actions. Give
each action a stable identifier, placement, effect, required claims,
supported task modes, and JSON Schema input and output contracts.
Generate a deterministic JSON inventory from that source and fail
package checks on drift.
**Alternatives considered**
The combined runner branch contains larger live and scenario catalogs
with authorization, bindings, labs, and other providers. That change is
too large for this review unit. A generic API escape hatch would also
bypass the operation-level boundary, so this catalog excludes it.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports the governed tool access direction in `ROADMAP.md`.
It does not add a tool gateway, application binding, server endpoint, or
production authorization decision.
**Additional context**
Refs #12111 and #11962. Pull request #12111 was squash-merged first.
This branch starts at the resulting `master` commit. Its delta is 10
files.
## What Changed
- Added 27 versioned, provider-neutral semantic action declarations for
the Codex spine.
- Added bounded JSON Schema input contracts and normalized operation
receipt output contracts.
- Added placement, effect, claim, mode, and role metadata.
- Added a deeply frozen public catalog and an operation lookup helper.
- Added a deterministic checked-in JSON inventory and generation
commands.
- Added a byte-for-byte drift gate to the package build.
- Added AJV schema compilation, mutation-bound, forged-field,
immutability, inventory, and non-executable-boundary tests.
- Exported only the catalog types and declarations from the existing
package root.
- Documented that catalog membership does not grant discovery,
authorization, dispatch, or application binding.
- Kept server code, UI code, other providers, scenario-only actions,
labs, generic API access, authorization, dispatch, and receipts
processing out of this pull request.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all` passes.
- TypeScript protocol tests pass: 8 Node tests and 49 Vitest tests.
- All package Rust tests and conformance and replay parity checks pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner
check:semantic-action-catalog` passes.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm build` passes.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passes.
- Prettier and `git diff --check` pass for the changed source and
documentation files.
- The generated catalog matches its source byte for byte.
- The secret scan is clean.
- The delta against `master` is 10 files. `pnpm-lock.yaml` is unchanged.
- `pnpm test:run` completed locally with 4,692 passing tests, 19 skipped
tests, and 24 failures in 8 unchanged server test files. The failures
reproduce the established local macOS path-alias, listener, and
workspace-runtime baseline. No changed-file test failed. Linux CI
remains the repository handoff authority.
- The full Linux PR workflow passes, including the aggregate `verify`
gate.
- Snyk, Socket, Superagent security, and supply-chain checks pass.
- Greptile is 5/5 with no actionable comments, recommendations, or
follow-ups.
- Storybook visual regression skipped by design because this pull
request changes no UI file.
- Browser and migration tests are not applicable because this pull
request changes no server, UI, database, or migration file.
## Risks
Production behavior is unchanged because no consumer projects this
catalog into a provider run. The main risks are contract drift,
unbounded mutation input, forged scope fields, accidental executable
authority, and generated inventory drift. Closed input schemas, explicit
bounds, a frozen catalog, tests, and the byte drift gate cover these
risks. The later authorization layer must still bind every action to the
active run and company before discovery or invocation.
I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This change is private contract infrastructure
for the governed tool access direction. It does not duplicate a shipped
or public product surface.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5 was used. The exact serving model ID and context
size were not exposed. The model used high reasoning, repository tools,
GitHub tools, and local code execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The package-local runner now has a durable PRP transport, but it
cannot execute a real provider.
> - The first provider must preserve PRP identities while using Codex
native thread and turn identities.
> - Recovery must resume the same Codex thread without starting a
duplicate turn.
> - Provider output must become bounded and provider-neutral before it
crosses PRP.
> - Semantic tools must remain unavailable until the catalog and
authorization layers exist.
> - This pull request adds the Codex provider bridge inside the runner
package only.
> - The benefit is a reviewable provider slice with no server or
user-facing behavior change.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This pull request extends private provider infrastructure
in `packages/paperclip-runner`.
**Problem or motivation**
The durable runner from #12100 has no production provider. It cannot
start Codex app-server, map its events, cancel or steer a turn, deliver
a structured question, or recover a native thread after process restart.
**Proposed solution**
Add a supervised Codex app-server transport and a normalized runner
backend. Persist the Codex thread and active turn identities. Resume and
inspect the exact thread after restart. Convert supported notifications
into bounded PRP events. Keep the dynamic tool inventory empty.
**Alternatives considered**
The combined runner branch implements several providers, semantic tools,
server coordination, and UI integration together. That change is too
large for one review unit. Reusing the direct `codex_local` adapter
would also couple this package layer to the existing server execution
path.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports the governed tools and self-healing run direction in
`ROADMAP.md`. It does not add a server endpoint, runtime adapter,
rollout flag, or user-facing behavior.
**Additional context**
Refs #12100 and #11962. Pull request #12100 was squash-merged first.
This branch starts at the resulting `master` commit. Its current delta
is 16 files.
## What Changed
- Added a Codex-only app-server process transport with bounded JSONL
frames and buffered notifications.
- Added strict provider descriptor validation for the Codex driver,
working directory, launch arguments, model, instructions, and
non-interactive approval policy.
- Started new Codex threads with an empty dynamic tool inventory and the
named workspace-only permission profile.
- Added native turn start, steering, interruption, cancellation, thread
reads, and structured question responses.
- Added thread and active-turn binding checks for provider requests and
notifications.
- Added provider-neutral normalization for session, turn, item, plan,
usage, tool execution, notice, and structured input events.
- Bounded and redacted provider text and process output before durable
persistence.
- Added private atomic provider state for the descriptor, thread ID,
account session ID, active turn ID, and unacknowledged normalized
events.
- Added exact-thread recovery through `thread/resume` and `thread/read`.
Recovery does not issue another `turn/start` for an active turn.
- Preserved active native turn identity across unexpected provider exit
and reconciled it before later start, interrupt, or snapshot commands.
- Added stable provider-event identities, per-event durable commit and
acknowledgement, and a bounded fingerprint receipt journal that prevents
duplicate delivery across outbox and provider-ack crash windows.
- Extended the durable command executor with provider event polling and
explicit process shutdown on stop, suspend, revocation, lease expiry,
and runtime expiry.
- Preserved completed shutdown behavior when the command result is
replayed after a disconnect.
- Added a fake Codex app-server and integration tests for response
buffering, structured questions, interruption, provider exit,
unacknowledged-event recovery, durable resume, and duplicate-turn
prevention.
- Added a focused `test:codex` package command for the provider
integration suite.
- Kept server code, UI code, other providers, semantic catalogs, tool
authorization, and production runtime selection out of this pull
request.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all` passes.
- TypeScript contract tests pass: 8 Node tests and 44 Vitest tests.
- Rust tests pass: 43 unit tests, 5 Codex integration tests, 3 public
durable-recovery tests, 2 local-runner tests, and 3 process-supervisor
tests.
- Rust conformance and replay parity checks pass against the shared PRP
fixtures.
- `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -A
clippy::filter-map-bool-then -D warnings` passes. The narrow allow
covers an unchanged replay implementation from the preceding contract
pull request.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm build` passes.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passes.
- `git diff --check` passes.
- The delta against `master` is 16 files. The package lockfile is
unchanged. The PR workflow generates its temporary lockfile artifact
from the changed package manifest.
- `pnpm test:run` completed locally with 4,690 passing tests, 19 skipped
tests, and 26 failures in 8 unchanged server test files. The failures
reproduce the established local macOS path-alias, listener, port-range,
and workspace-runtime baseline. No changed-file test failed. Linux CI
remains the repository handoff authority.
- Browser and migration tests are not applicable because this pull
request changes no server, UI, database, or migration file.
- The full Linux PR workflow passes. One unchanged heartbeat recovery
test timed out on the first pass and passed on the failed-only rerun;
the aggregate `verify` gate is green.
- Greptile is 5/5 on the final commit. All four review threads are
resolved.
## Risks
Production behavior is unchanged because no server code starts this
provider. The main risks are a provider process escape, cross-thread
event confusion, secret leakage, duplicated turns, duplicated or lost
provider events, lost questions, and unsafe recovery. Process-group
supervision, identity binding, private bounded state, redaction, durable
command replay, retained event acknowledgements, bounded durable
receipts, exact-thread reconciliation, and integration tests cover these
risks. Semantic tools remain undiscoverable in this layer.
I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This change is private provider infrastructure
for planned control-plane work. It does not duplicate a shipped or
public product surface.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5 was used. The exact serving model ID and context
size were not exposed. The model used high reasoning, repository tools,
GitHub tools, and local code execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The package-local runner can supervise a local process, but it
cannot yet survive a broken controller connection.
> - A production transport must authenticate both peers without putting
the bootstrap secret on the wire.
> - Commands and events must remain bounded, ordered, and recoverable
across reconnects and crashes.
> - Retrying an uncertain side effect is unsafe, so indeterminate
outcomes must fail closed instead of running twice.

inside the runner package only.

any provider or server integration exists.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This pull request extends private transport
infrastructure in `packages/paperclip-runner`.
**Problem or motivation**
The local runner introduced by #12095 has no authenticated network
handshake, durable outbox, reconnect lease, cumulative acknowledgement,
or crash-safe command journal. A dropped connection could otherwise lose
an event or tempt a controller to repeat a side effect whose outcome is
unknown.
**Proposed solution**
Add an authenticated PRP v1 WebSocket transport, encrypted frames,
lease-based reconnects, a bounded durable event outbox, cumulative
acknowledgements, and an idempotent command journal. Preserve pending
commands before execution and classify the crash window as indeterminate
so an uncertain side effect is never repeated automatically.
**Alternatives considered**
The combined runner branch implements transport together with Codex,
semantic tools, and server coordination. That change is too large for
one review unit. Keeping transport in memory would make reconnect and
crash recovery unverifiable. Re-running a pending command after restart
would weaken the at-most-once side-effect boundary.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports the governed tools and self-healing run direction in
`ROADMAP.md`. It does not add a production provider, server endpoint,
adapter, feature flag, or user-facing behavior.
**Additional context**
Refs #12095 and #11962. Pull request #12095 was squash-merged first.
This branch has been rebased onto the resulting `master` commit, and its
current delta is 13 files.
## What Changed
- Added a loopback-only WebSocket connection policy with one-time DNS
resolution and pinned reconnect addresses.
- Added an HMAC mutual-authentication handshake that never sends the
bootstrap ticket over the socket.
- Added AES-256-GCM secure frames with per-direction keys, monotonic
counters, and session-bound authenticated data.
- Added one-use bootstrap-ticket handling and lease-based reconnect
validation with expiry, revocation, and epoch checks.
- Added a private, symlink-resistant state directory with atomic,
synchronized state replacement.
- Added a bounded durable event outbox, priority-zero reserve,
cumulative acknowledgements, and reconnect replay of only the
unacknowledged suffix.
- Added a bounded command journal with contiguous sequence enforcement,
persistent results, and deterministic duplicate responses. Duplicate
replay requires a SHA-256 match over the complete canonical command.
- Persisted commands before their effects. A crash after persistence but
before result storage returns an indeterminate terminal result and does
not execute the command again.
- Migrated pre-fingerprint command journals by compacting through their
persisted controller cursor. Legacy redelivery fails closed instead of
reconstructing an incomplete identity or repeating an uncertain effect.
- Added strict limits and validation for frames, state, results, outbox
entries, command history, and redacted diagnostics.
- Added a transport-only `paperclip-runnerd --connect-url` mode. It
handles lifecycle commands and rejects provider commands because no
provider is present in this pull request.
- Added a full disconnect-before-ack fault test that reconnects with the
lease, replays identical command and event state, and proves the effect
ran once.
- Kept provider transports, semantic tools, server integration, and
production runtime selection out of this pull request.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all` passes.
- TypeScript contract tests pass: 8 Node tests and 44 Vitest tests.
- Rust tests pass: 33 unit tests, 3 public durable-recovery integration
tests, plus the existing 2 local-runner and 3 process-supervisor tests.
- The disconnect-before-ack, lease reconnect, duplicate command,
malformed state, unknown command, bounds, and crash-window tests pass.
- Rust conformance and replay parity checks pass against the shared PRP
fixtures.
- `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -A
clippy::filter-map-bool-then -D warnings` passes. The narrow allow
covers an unchanged replay implementation from the preceding contract
pull request.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm build` passes.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passes.
- `git diff --check` passes.
- The delta against `master` is 13 files. The package lockfile is
unchanged.
- `pnpm test:run` completed locally with 4,686 passing tests, 19 skipped
tests, and 30 failures in 8 unchanged server test files. The failures
reproduce the established local macOS path-alias, listener, port-range,
and workspace-runtime baseline. No changed-file test failed; Linux CI
remains the repository handoff authority.
- Storybook visual regression is not applicable because this pull
request changes no UI or story files.
## Risks
Production behavior is unchanged because no server code starts or
connects to this transport. The main risks are secret disclosure, forged
or replayed frames, state corruption, unbounded disk growth, duplicated
side effects, and incorrect recovery. Mutual authentication, encrypted
counter-bound frames, private atomic state, explicit bounds, cumulative
acknowledgements, a durable command journal, fail-closed indeterminate
recovery, and fault-injection tests cover these risks.
I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This change is private transport infrastructure
for planned control-plane work. It does not duplicate a shipped or
public product surface.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This pull request adds private test infrastructure to
`packages/paperclip-runner`.
**Problem or motivation**
The PRP contracts have no second implementation on `master`. There is
also no small harness that can prove process cleanup, command
idempotency, terminal reconciliation, or bounded JSONL handling without
a production provider.
**Proposed solution**
Add a minimal Rust workspace. Add a local runner process, a scripted
fake harness, a bounded process supervisor, and Rust conformance and
replay checks. Keep all binaries package-local. Do not connect them to
the Paperclip server.
**Alternatives considered**
The combined runner branch includes provider transports, durable
networking, SDKs, labs, and server behavior. That change is too large
for this review unit. A TypeScript-only harness would not test
cross-language contract parity.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports the governed tools and self-healing run direction in
`ROADMAP.md`. It does not add a user-facing runtime, adapter, endpoint,
or rollout flag.
**Additional context**
Refs #12091 and #11962. Pull request #12091 was merged before this
branch opened. This branch is based on the current `master`. Its delta
is 25 files.
## What Changed
- Added a minimal locked Rust workspace with only `serde` and
`serde_json` dependencies.
- Added a package-local `paperclip-runnerd` local mode and a scripted
fake harness.
- Added bounded controller input, harness input, subprocess output
queues, line sizes, log retention, script sizes, script steps, and
command history.
- Added contiguous controller and harness sequence checks and
equivalent-command replay handling.
- Added process-group supervision that cleans up child processes and
remaining descendants after forced or natural harness exit.
- Added runner-owned terminal reconciliation for success, failure,
interruption, cancellation, controller closure, and protocol failure.
- Added Rust conformance output and deterministic replay summaries for
the shared PRP fixtures.
- Added fake scripts for success, failure, interruption, interaction,
duplicate terminal output, process cleanup, and oversized output.
- Added package scripts and documentation for the Rust and
cross-language checks.
- Kept provider transport, server integration, semantic tools, and
production runtime selection out of this pull request.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all` passes.
- TypeScript contract tests pass: 8 Node tests and 44 Vitest tests.
- Rust tests pass: 20 unit tests, 2 local-runner tests, and 3
process-supervisor tests.
- The Rust conformance and replay parity checks pass against the shared
fixtures.
- The natural-exit and forced-exit tests confirm that the harness and
its worker process are stopped.
- The oversized-frame test confirms that a harness frame above the
configured limit is rejected.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes after the final rebase to `master`.
- `pnpm build` passes after the final rebase to `master`.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passes.
- `git diff --check` passes.
- The delta against `master` is 25 files. The package lockfile is
unchanged.
- `pnpm test:run` completed locally with 4,686 passing tests, 19 skipped
tests, and 30 failures in 8 unchanged server test files. The failures
are local macOS path-alias, listener, port-range, and workspace-runtime
baseline failures. No changed-file test failed, and every applicable
Linux CI shard passes.
- Storybook visual regression skipped intentionally because this pull
request changes no UI or story files.
## Risks
Low production risk. No server code invokes the new binaries. The
package remains private. The main risks are process leaks, unbounded
local input, and cross-language drift. Bounded queues and sizes,
process-group cleanup tests, fixture manifests, and parity checks cover
these risks.
I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This change is private test infrastructure for
planned control-plane work. It does not duplicate a shipped or public
product surface.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5 was used. The exact serving model ID and context
size were not exposed. The model used high reasoning, repository tools,
GitHub tools, and local code execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Each agent runs under an adapter. The `grok_local` adapter runs the
Grok Build CLI.
> - The adapter has an environment test. It probes the CLI and reports
checks to the operator.
> - `DEFAULT_GROK_LOCAL_MODEL` is `"grok-build"`. This value is a
sentinel. It means "use the Grok CLI's own default model".
> - `execute.ts` only passes `--model` when the configured model differs
from the sentinel. So the sentinel is never sent to grok.
> - The environment test still compared the sentinel to the models that
`grok models` lists. Real grok never lists `grok-build`.
> - So every probe emitted a false "Configured model not found" warning,
even on a correctly configured agent.
> - This pull request stops the false warning and keeps the real check
for user-set models.
> - The benefit is an accurate environment test: operators see a warning
only when it is real.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists. The problem, in bug-report form:
**What happened?**
The `grok_local` environment test always warns `Configured model
"grok-build" not found in available models`, even when the agent works.
`grok-build` is the default sentinel, not a real model id, and it is
never sent to the CLI.
**Expected behavior**
When the model is left at the default, the test reports the CLI's own
default model as info and does not warn. It warns only when a user sets
a real model that `grok models` does not list.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a `grok_local` agent and leave the model at its default.
2. Run the adapter environment test.
3. See the `grok_model_not_found` warning, although `grok models` and
the hello probe succeed.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
grok_local (Grok Build CLI).
## What Changed
- `packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/test.ts`: the model check now
treats the default sentinel as valid and reports it as info (`Using the
Grok CLI's default model (<default>)`). It still warns when an
explicitly configured, non-sentinel model is absent from the discovered
list. This matches `execute.ts`, which never sends the sentinel to grok.
- `packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/test.test.ts`: adds a test
that the default sentinel does not warn when it is absent from the real
model list, and a test that a real, unavailable model still warns.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/test.test.ts` — 5 passed.
## Risks
Low risk. The change only affects one adapter's environment-test
reporting. It does not change how runs pass `--model`. No schema, no
runtime behavior change.
## Model Used
Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`), extended thinking, with tool use and
code execution.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12052 (host-side worker half of the same relay). Refs #9904 and
#8977 (adjacent bridge behavior).
No public issue exists for this defect. The description below follows
the bug report template.
**What happened?**
During a staging run, an agent's API calls to the bridge's loopback port
began failing at the connection level (curl reported HTTP 000) partway
through the run. A dead gateway process is the only mechanism that
produces connection-level failures on that port, and nothing restarts
it. Separately, request files for timed-out requests stayed in the
queue; after 64 accumulated, the gateway answered every request with
`503 Bridge request queue is full.` until the run ended.
**Expected behavior**
An uncaught fault in the gateway must not kill the loopback listener. A
request that times out must not leave its file counting toward the
queue-depth cap. A queue full of orphaned files must recover instead of
rejecting until run end.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a remote-sandbox run and stop the host-side bridge worker.
2. Send requests to the gateway until they time out; the request files
stay in `requests/`.
3. After 64 such files, every request gets an immediate 503, even after
the host recovers.
4. Independently, raise any uncaught exception in the gateway process;
the loopback port dies for the rest of the run.
## What Changed
- The generated gateway source installs global `uncaughtException` /
`unhandledRejection` handlers that log to stderr (already redirected to
`logs/bridge.log`) and keep serving. The relay holds no state a fault
can corrupt beyond the one request it interrupted.
- Survival is gated on readiness: before the gateway has written its
readiness file (file mode) or sent its READY frame (duplex mode), the
same handlers exit(1) instead. A startup fault (failed bind, failed
readiness write) means the process can never serve, and surviving there
would only leave an un-ready zombie while the host waits out its
readiness poll.
- The file gateway attaches an explicit `error` listener to its server
and pins the event loop with a keepalive until the bind settles. Newer
Node runtimes do not reliably surface a failed bind through
`uncaughtException` in this shape: the process can drain and exit 0
before the error event is delivered (reproduced on Node 24/25; Node 22
delivered it). The duplex gateway already had an explicit listener.
- A request that times out waiting for the host now deletes its own
request file. The host's response write is guarded on that file, so the
removal also signals that no caller waits anymore.
- At the queue-depth cap, the gateway sweeps request files older than
the response deadline (orphans from killed callers or a previous gateway
process) before rejecting with 503.
- Host-side, `processRequestFile` treats a request file that vanished
before the read as the benign caller-gave-up race and skips it quietly
instead of escalating into the recovery pass.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-callback-bridge.test.ts` — 43 passed,
verified on both Node 22 and Node 25.
- New end-to-end test: with no worker running, a request times out
(502), its file is cleaned, and the same gateway then serves a 200 once
a worker starts — no wedge, no dead port.
- New end-to-end test: with `maxQueueDepth: 1` and a backdated orphan
file at the cap, the gateway sweeps the orphan and admits the request
instead of answering 503.
- New worker test: a request file that vanishes before the read is
skipped without a handler call, a response write, or a run-level error.
- New generated-source test: spawned directly against an
already-occupied port, the gateway exits 1 promptly with the
`EADDRINUSE` fault on stderr instead of lingering un-ready (or exiting 0
silently, the pre-existing behavior on Node 24/25).
- A pin keeps the crash handlers, the readiness gate, and the sweep in
the generated source.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck`.
## Risks
- Keeping a Node process alive after `uncaughtException` is normally
suspect; here the alternative is a dead loopback port for the rest of
the run, and the gateway is a stateless per-request relay. The fault is
logged with its stack to `bridge.log`, and survival applies only after
readiness — startup faults still fail fast.
- Deleting a timed-out request file could race a host that is
mid-processing. The host's response write is already guarded on
request-file existence, and the new host-side skip treats the vanished
file as a no-op, so no duplicate mutation path is introduced.
- The stale sweep runs only at the depth cap and only removes files
older than the response deadline plus a 2 s grace, so a live caller's
file is never swept.
- Orphaned response files (host responded after the caller gave up)
still linger; that pre-existing minor leak is unchanged here.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
This change affects the private `@paperclipai/paperclip-runner` package.
It does not change an existing server or adapter execution path.
**Problem or motivation**
The PRP v1 schemas do not yet provide TypeScript types, runtime
validators, normalized result handling, or a deterministic session
projection. Later Rust, transport, provider, and server work needs one
tested TypeScript oracle instead of separate interpretations.
**Proposed solution**
Generate a checked-in TypeScript schema bundle from the PRP v1 sources.
Add derived types, AJV validation, result and question validation,
deterministic replay, a reducer, and generated golden snapshots. Export
only these implemented root-package surfaces.
**Alternatives considered**
The combined runner branch adds the TypeScript contracts together with
Rust, providers, semantic authorization, SDKs, labs, and server
behavior. That delta is too large for normal review. Handwritten
duplicate protocol types would also create a drift risk.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports the governed tool and control-plane direction in
`ROADMAP.md`. It does not enable a new production adapter or endpoint.
**Additional context**
Refs #12087 and #11962. This pull request was prepared on #12087, then
rebased onto its squash merge before opening. The current delta against
`master` is 37 files.
## What Changed
- Added JSON-Schema-derived PRP v1 types and AJV runtime validation.
- Added fail-closed required-version checks and cross-envelope binding
checks.
- Added provider-neutral completion-result and structured-question
contracts.
- Added normalization for accepted legacy provider result aliases before
strict validation.
- Added a deterministic session reducer for replay, duplicate delivery,
source gaps, requests, items, results, and terminal state.
- Added generated replay snapshots and compact parity summaries for six
accepted fixtures.
- Added schema-bundle, manifest, and replay-golden drift gates.
- Added only the root package export. Deferred testing, SDK, evaluation,
lab, provider, and browser entry points remain unavailable.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test` passed with 8
protocol tests and 44 TypeScript tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:replay-goldens`
passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- `git diff --check` passed.
- The delta against its declared base is 37 files.
- `pnpm test:run` was executed locally. The package tests pass, while
the macOS repository run retains the unchanged local-environment
failures documented on #12087. The complete Linux CI matrix must pass on
this commit.
- A scoped scan found no secret-like values, internal references, or
deferred-provider file names.
- Greptile found an unbounded sequence-gap allocation. Commit `4a405c17`
caps detailed missing IDs at 256, records the full missing count and
truncation state, and rejects sequence values above the exact JavaScript
integer range. The focused tests, workspace typecheck, build, and token
gates pass after this fix.
## Risks
Low production risk. The package remains private. This change adds no
process, network endpoint, provider bridge, server integration, database
change, or execution selection. The main risk is protocol interpretation
drift. Generated schema and replay gates detect that drift. Browser and
CSP-specific validator packaging remains deferred to its later package
boundary.
I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This change defines contracts for planned
control-plane work and does not add overlapping product behavior.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5 was used. The exact serving model ID and context
size were not exposed. The model used high reasoning, repository tools,
GitHub tools, and local code execution.

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

server and the runner process.
> - A shared contract must exist before TypeScript, Rust, transport, or
provider implementations can depend on it.

fields must remain compatible.

implementation pull requests.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This pull request adds a private package contract for
later server, TypeScript, and Rust work.
**Problem or motivation**
Paperclip Runner does not have a small language-neutral protocol
boundary on `master`. A runtime implementation without this boundary can
drift between languages, accept unsupported required versions, or
silently change canonical fixtures.
**Proposed solution**
Add PRP v1 JSON Schemas, accepted and rejected fixtures, a Codex
structured-question fixture, and a generated SHA-256 manifest. Run
compatibility and manifest checks during the package build. Keep the
package private and export nothing in this pull request.
**Alternatives considered**
The combined runner branch contains schemas together with providers,
SDKs, labs, and server behavior. That change is too large for normal
review. Generating TypeScript validators in this pull request would also
cross into the next review unit.
**Roadmap alignment**
This contract supports the governed tool and control-plane direction in
`ROADMAP.md`. It does not enable a new production adapter or endpoint.
**Additional context**
Refs #12084 and #11962. This pull request was reviewed as a stack on
#12084, then rebased and retargeted to `master` after #12084 merged. The
current delta is 38 files.
## What Changed
- Added 20 PRP v1 JSON Schemas with stable identifiers and resolved
references, including explicit cross-language conformance input and
output schemas.
- Added canonical replay, cross-language, and Codex question fixtures.
- Added accepted cases for additive optional fields and a rejected case
for an unsupported required protocol version.
- Added a deterministic manifest with SHA-256 digests for every schema
and fixture.
- Added package-local schema-instance, schema-reference, compatibility,
question-ID, conformance-pair, and drift checks.
- Added a private workspace package with no public exports and no
production runtime behavior.
- Added the package manifest to the Docker dependency-stage inventory
required for every workspace package. This does not copy or build runner
runtime code into the production image.
- Kept the provider descriptor and question fixture Codex-only. No
deferred provider package or dependency is present.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` passed with Node 24.19.0 and pnpm
9.15.4. No lockfile change is committed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:protocol` passed
with 8 tests.
- The committed AJV 2020-12 gate accepted every canonical v1 replay,
question, and cross-language conformance fixture. It rejected the
required v2 fixture, a replay fixture with a missing required command
ID, and conformance output with a missing session ID.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm build` passed and ran the protocol manifest drift check.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- `node ./scripts/check-docker-deps-stage.mjs` passed.
- `git diff --check` passed.
- The delta against its declared base is 38 files.
- `pnpm test:run` completed with 4,687 passing tests, 19 skipped tests,
and 29 failures across 9 unchanged server files. The failures reproduce
macOS path aliases, local listener probes, workspace-runtime
assumptions, and one connection-retry timeout. No changed-file test
failed. Linux CI must pass before this pull request is ready.
- `pnpm check:tokens` reports existing personal-name references outside
this pull request. A scoped scan of `packages/paperclip-runner` found no
secret-like values, internal references, or deferred-provider names.
- PR #12084 was squash-merged, and this branch was rebased onto that
merge and retargeted to `master`. The first master-base policy run
correctly caught the missing Docker dependency-stage manifest copy;
commit `4fa1ea7c` fixes that gate, and the complete Linux matrix is
green.
- Serialized server shard 1 initially hit an unchanged heartbeat
test-harness timeout and a later assertion in the same file. Its
isolated rerun passed in 3m57s. All other shards passed on their first
attempt.
- Greptile reviewed the final commit at 5/5 with no blocking failure.
Both earlier actionable validation threads are resolved, and no review
thread remains open.
## Risks
Low production risk. The package is private and has no exports, server
adapter, endpoint, or process. AJV is a package-only development
dependency that the server workspace already uses. The main risk is
contract churn before the TypeScript and Rust consumers land. The
generated manifest and compatibility fixtures make that churn explicit.
I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This change defines a contract for planned
control-plane work and does not add overlapping product behavior.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5 was used. The exact serving model ID and context
size were not exposed. The model used high reasoning, repository tools,
GitHub tools, and local code execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Environment runtime drivers provide workspace, lease, and custom
image behavior
> - Runtime code used driver identity checks and several
capability-specific members
> - These checks spread capability rules across the runtime and made new
drivers harder to verify
> - This pull request adds one general capability classifier and one
static driver support table
> - The benefit is one fail-closed capability model that keeps current
behavior and supports future drivers
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Environment runtime capability checks for workspace realization, custom
images, lease capabilities, and duplex authorization.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (multiple of the above)
**Current behavior**
The runtime selects several capability paths from driver identity and
separate capability members. Custom image gates also trust provider
declarations without checking every matching live worker method.
**Proposed behavior**
The runtime uses one general capability classifier and one static
support table. Custom image gates require both the provider declaration
and every matching live worker method. The public capability names
remain unchanged.
**Reason and benefit**
The change keeps capability rules in one place. It removes identity
conditions from runtime consumers and makes unsupported drivers fail
closed.
**Breaking changes**
None. The public names sandboxCapabilities, sandboxProviders, and
EffectiveSandboxCapabilities remain available.
## What Changed
- Add classifyEnvironmentCapabilities and static support definitions for
all four driver families.
- Add resolveCapabilities to every environment runtime driver.
- Move driver traits into environment-driver-traits.ts and migrate
runtime consumers.
- Require provider declarations and matching live worker methods for all
custom image gates.
- Migrate duplex authorization to the general resolver and remove the
dead sandbox-only member.
- Delete the unused resolveEffectiveSandboxCapabilities wrapper and
update its test.
## Verification
- pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
- pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-capability-contract.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-runtime.test.ts — 92 tests pass
- pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-driver-traits.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/general-capability-classifier.test.ts — 12 tests
pass
- pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-custom-images-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target-capabilities.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target-duplex.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target-duplex-kill-switch.test.ts
— 66 tests pass
## Risks
The main risk is a capability gate that denies a valid driver or permits
an invalid driver. The static support matrix, live worker method checks,
and regression tests reduce this risk. No database, public API, or
published type name changes.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, with tool use and code execution. The deployment
does not provide a separate context-window value.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Adapters inject prompt text that teaches agents how to call the
Paperclip API, including copy-pasteable curl examples
> - Some of those URLs contained brace placeholders like
`/api/issues/{id}/checkout`

as `/api/issues/%7Bid%7D` and 404s, and request logs show agents doing
exactly that
> - The acpx engine's API note already avoids this by using
`$PAPERCLIP_TASK_ID`, and its test pins `/api/issues/{id}` out of the
prompt
> - This pull request applies the same standard to the gemini adapter,
the shared prompt template, and the openclaw gateway workflow
> - The benefit is that agents stop burning turns on placeholder 404s
and doc examples stay safe to execute as written
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists for this defect. The description below follows
the bug report template.
**What happened?**
Server request logs show agents issuing `GET /api/issues/%7Bid%7D` — the
literal, percent-encoded text `{id}` — which 404s. The source is adapter
prompt text: the gemini adapter's API note embeds a curl example with
`/api/issues/{id}/checkout` in the URL, the shared agent prompt template
mentions `/api/issues/{issueId}` endpoints, and the harness checkout
notice names `/api/issues/{id}/checkout`. Models copy these strings into
real requests.
**Expected behavior**
URL paths in prompt text must carry environment variables or real ids,
never brace placeholders, in every string an agent might execute
verbatim. Where a placeholder is unavoidable, the prompt must state
explicitly that the literal text must never be sent.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Give an agent the gemini adapter's API access note.
2. Watch it call `curl ...
"$PAPERCLIP_API_URL/api/issues/{id}/checkout"` as written.
3. The server logs `POST /api/issues/%7Bid%7D/checkout 404`.
## What Changed
- gemini-local's API note curl example now uses `$PAPERCLIP_TASK_ID` and
tells the agent to substitute a real issue id when that variable is
absent — the same convention as the acpx engine's API note.
- The shared agent prompt template (`server-utils.ts`) uses
`$PAPERCLIP_TASK_ID` in its interaction-creation and resume-endpoint
mentions, and the harness checkout notice names `POST
/api/issues/$PAPERCLIP_TASK_ID/checkout`.
- openclaw-gateway's endpoint workflow keeps its `{issueId}`
placeholders — they are defined by its "determine issueId" step — but
now states explicitly that the literal text must never be sent in a URL.
- `server-utils.test.ts` pins the new form and adds negative pins that
keep `/api/issues/{id}` and `/api/issues/{issueId}` out of the shared
prompt template, mirroring the existing acpx-engine negative pin.
- The `confirmation:{issueId}:plan:{revisionId}` idempotency-key
template is untouched: it is a value-construction pattern, not a URL.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts
packages/adapters/gemini-local packages/adapters/openclaw-gateway` — 152
passed. The single failure (`pre-selects gemini-api-key auth in the
managed HOME for sandbox execution`) is a pre-existing
environment-specific failure on the development machine, unrelated to
prompt text; CI is authoritative for it.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils --filter
@paperclipai/adapter-gemini-local --filter
@paperclipai/adapter-openclaw-gateway typecheck`.
## Risks
- Low risk: prompt-text and test changes only; no runtime logic changes.
- Agents that memorized the old example strings keep working — the
routes are unchanged, only the placeholder text in prompts is.
## Model Used
- Claude Fable 5 (Anthropic), model id `claude-fable-5`, extended
thinking enabled, agentic tool use via Claude Code (CLI harness), 200k
context window.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents on remote sandbox targets reach the Paperclip API through the
sandbox callback bridge: a loopback gateway inside the sandbox writes
request files, and a host-side worker polls them over the provider's

> - The worker's poll loop had one terminal catch: a single reset or
slow exec ended the relay for the rest of the run
> - The in-sandbox gateway kept queueing requests against the dead
worker, so every later API call from the agent stranded, including its
final status write

hiccup into a lost issue disposition

the control plane mid-run
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #9904. Refs #8977. Both touch adjacent bridge behavior (curl shim,
header forwarding); neither addresses worker-loop lifetime.
No public issue exists for this defect. The description below follows
the bug report template.
**What happened?**
During a staging run, the host-side bridge worker hit one failed sandbox
exec while relaying requests. The poll loop's only catch is terminal: it
failed the pending requests and set the worker to settled, with no
restart. The agent's later API calls saw connection-level failures or
bridge errors until the run ended. Its final `PATCH status: done` was
lost, and the missing-disposition recovery had to repair the issue in a
corrective run.
**Expected behavior**
One transient exec failure must not end the relay for the rest of the
run. The worker must back off and retry. A sustained outage must still
fail queued requests fast through the watchdog. In-flight request
semantics (abort plus 504 backstop, retry-safe 503) must not change.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a remote-sandbox run and let the provider exec channel reject
or stall one call while the bridge worker polls.
2. The worker hits one `listJsonFiles` failure or one request-attempt
timeout, and the loop exits through its terminal catch.
3. Every later bridge request strands. The loopback gateway keeps
accepting requests that never complete, and after 64 queued files it
answers every request with 503 until run end.
## What Changed
- `startSandboxCallbackBridgeWorker`'s poll loop now separates three
failure domains:
- A failed poll backs off exponentially (capped at 5 s) and retries
instead of dying. The first failure of a streak still lands on the run
trace through the workerFailed span; later repeats only warn.
- A failed or hung request attempt runs the same recovery pass the loop
previously died on — abort the in-flight handler (its 504 backstop keeps
the caller from stranding) and 503 the unclaimed queued requests — and
the loop then continues and serves the caller's retry.
- A listing where every file already has an in-flight attempt sleeps one
poll interval, like an empty listing. The previous immediate re-list was
a hot spin: an exec storm against a real channel, and a pure-microtask
loop that starved every timer in the process when the queue client
resolves synchronously.
- The watchdog, the claim/finalize fences, and the stop/drain semantics
are unchanged.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-callback-bridge.test.ts` — 38 passed.
- New regression test: a request queued behind three consecutive poll
failures is still delivered.
- Updated tests: the stalled-poll test now expects recovery (the
handler's real 200) instead of a terminal 503; the sustained-outage 503
path remains proven by the dedicated watchdog test; the
recovery-503-write-retry test triggers the recovery pass through a hung
request read, because a hung poll no longer runs that pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck`.
## Risks
- Behavior change: a transiently failing poll no longer mass-fails
queued requests on the first error. Callers wait through the backoff
window, bounded by the existing in-sandbox 30 s response deadline, or
the watchdog fails them after 20 s of no successful iteration. This
trades fast-but-terminal degradation for recovery.
- A hard-down channel now retries every ≤5 s for the rest of the run
instead of stopping. Each retry is one exec attempt against a channel
that already fails.
- In-flight mutation safety is unchanged: the guard map and the claim
protocol still prevent a double-applied host mutation, and a guarded
file is always finalized by its own attempt or by its 504 backstop.
## Model Used
- Claude Fable 5 (Anthropic), model id `claude-fable-5`, extended
thinking enabled, agentic tool use via Claude Code (CLI harness), 200k
context window.

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent adapters use a duplex bridge to send requests and responses
across an isolated boundary
> - The bridge held each request body and response body in memory on
both ends
> - Large bodies can exhaust memory and reduce the safe size of adapter
traffic
> - This pull request sends receive-side bodies as sequenced chunks and
spills large bodies to disk
> - The benefit is bounded memory use with strict size, order, and
cleanup checks
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The adapter-utils duplex bridge transports request and response bodies
across the sandbox boundary.
**Current behavior**
The bridge stores each complete body in memory on both ends of the
duplex channel.
**Proposed behavior**
The bridge sends body chunks with sequence checks. The receive side
keeps bodies up to 1 MiB in memory and spills larger bodies to a
temporary file.
**Reason and benefit**
This change reduces memory pressure and keeps malformed or oversized
input on a terminal error path.
**Breaking changes**
The duplex frame version changes to version 2. The request and response
envelopes now carry bodyByteCount, and body_chunk frames carry the body
data.
## What Changed
- Add version 2 body_chunk frames with 256 KiB raw slices encoded as
canonical base64 text.
- Add receive-side memory and spill reassembly with per-channel disk and
file limits.
- Reject malformed, reordered, oversized, truncated, and non-canonical
body chunks.
- Stream reassembled request bodies to the host forward handler with a
web stream and half-duplex request.
- Remove spill files on success, failure, channel death, and startup
cleanup.
## Verification
- Run the adapter-utils type-check.
- Run the adapter-utils duplex test suite.
- Run all pull request checks.
- Run the Greptile review and confirm a 5/5 score with no open findings.
## Risks
The wire format changes from version 1 to version 2. Older bridge peers
cannot use this protocol. The receive path adds temporary file
operations and cleanup paths. The implementation fails closed when a
body violates size or sequence rules.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 Codex, tool-enabled coding agent. The exact context-window
size and reasoning mode are not exposed by the runtime.

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip uses adapter utilities to move bounded messages between
agent processes.
> - The duplex frame codec encodes and decodes these messages.
> - The decoder rejects frames above the documented byte limit.
> - The encoder did not apply the same limit before it sent a frame.
> - This mismatch let a sender write a frame that the peer rejected
after transmission.
> - This pull request applies the same byte limit to both codec copies
and keeps the broker channel open.
> - The benefit is a local error with stable request telemetry instead
of a channel loss.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this change. The problem follows the
bug report fields below.
**What happened?**
The duplex encoder could write a frame larger than
`DEFAULT_MAX_DUPLEX_FRAME_BYTES`. The peer decoder then rejected the
frame after transmission. In the WebSocket 1009 case, this closed the
channel and reported a process exit.
**Expected behavior**
The encoder should reject an oversized frame before it writes bytes. The
gateway should return HTTP 413. The broker should return a bounded
terminal response and keep other requests active.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Encode a duplex frame above `DEFAULT_MAX_DUPLEX_FRAME_BYTES`.
2. Send the frame through the gateway or broker.
3. Observe that the old path writes the frame or drops the channel after
peer rejection.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced from the `master` development line before this change.
**Deployment mode**
Local dev (`pnpm dev`).
## What Changed
- Add `encodeDuplexFrameChecked` to the host and embedded gateway
codecs.
- Measure encoded JSON bytes without the trailing newline.
- Return a typed `frame_too_large` result without throwing.
- Return HTTP 413 for oversized gateway requests without writing a
frame.
- Share one frame bound between broker decode and encode checks.
- Return a bounded, non-retryable terminal response for oversized broker
responses.
- Add encode vectors to the shared wire-compatibility fixture.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck`.
- Run `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/duplex-frame-codec.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/duplex-bridge-broker.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target-sandbox.test.ts`.
- Confirm the oversized-response broker test keeps the channel open and
serves the other in-flight request.
- Confirm the gateway test returns HTTP 413 and keeps the channel open.
## Risks
The encoder now rejects oversized frames before transmission. This
changes an unsafe write into a typed local error. The broker and gateway
keep existing frame limits and affect only oversized frames.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution. The model assisted
with review and repository operations.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A CLI-lane duplex run can lose its control channel before clean process
completion. The run can then report `succeeded` with exit code 0 and no
error code.
**Expected behavior**
The execution target must fail closed when the channel dies before clean
completion. It must return exit code 1, the typed `duplex_channel_lost`
error code, and a short stderr note.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a duplex adapter run through the CLI execution lane.
2. Close the duplex control channel before the process completes
cleanly.
3. Inspect the run result and error code.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit `5e01523d4eb6df4a20a0bddd05374c9c42225203`.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source.
**Installation method**
Built from source with pnpm.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, Kimi, OpenCode, and Pi local
adapters.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
## What Changed
- Add an optional `errorCode` field to `RunProcessResult`.
- Add a one-read completion seam to the execution target process
options.
- Fail closed when a duplex channel dies before clean process
completion.
- Add `settleRunDisposition()` to atomically read and mark orderly
completion.
- Share the typed duplex loss error code across the ACP and CLI lanes.
- Mark non-success terminal results as orderly completion before
teardown.
- Wire the seam through the seven duplex adapters.
- Add regression tests for channel loss, clean completion, and non-clean
terminal results.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target-sandbox.test.ts` — 118
passed.
- `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts
-t "sandbox duplex run-disposition seam"` — 4 passed.
- The author confirmed a clean type-check for
`@paperclipai/adapter-utils` and the seven duplex adapter packages.
- Pre-existing environment failures remain outside this change. They
include `EACCES mkdir '/srv/paperclip'` and remote file-size setup
failures.
## Risks
The change alters terminal status for CLI duplex runs that lose control
before clean completion. The typed error code and stderr note keep the
failure visible. The broker marks failed, cancelled, and timed-out
results as orderly completion to prevent false loss events during
teardown.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution, with the standard
GPT-5 context window. The model assisted with the implementation and
test work.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Execution workspaces isolate an agent task from the primary
checkout.
> - Pull request preparation can need a branch that already contains
completed work.
> - The workspace policy could not require an exact existing branch.

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The `grok_local` adapter runs the native Grok Build CLI in headless
mode for unattended agent heartbeats
> - Grok CLI 1.0 started to enforce the `dontAsk` permission mode as
deny-by-default, and it takes precedence over `--always-approve`
> - The adapter passes both flags on every run, so each run dies on its
first tool call and is still recorded as a success
> - This pull request removes the `dontAsk` default so unattended runs
rely on `--always-approve` alone
> - The benefit is that `grok_local` agents can execute tools again on
current Grok CLI releases
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists. Description per the bug template:
**What happened?**
Every `grok_local` run on Grok CLI 1.0.x stops on its first tool call.
The stream shows the tool call move from `pending` to `failed` with
"User cancelled the execution for tool `run_terminal_command`", and the
session ends with `stopReason: "cancelled"` after one turn. The CLI
exits 0, so Paperclip records the run as succeeded with no work done,
and the issue lands in missing-disposition recovery.
**Expected behavior**
Unattended runs must auto-approve tool executions. The adapter already
passes `--always-approve` for this.
**Steps to reproduce**
In a clean Linux environment with Grok CLI 1.0.3 and `XAI_API_KEY` set,
run the adapter's exact invocation shape:
`grok --output-format streaming-json --permission-mode dontAsk
--always-approve --disable-web-search --single "Run the shell command:
echo ok"`
The tool call is denied. Drop `--permission-mode dontAsk` (or use
`--permission-mode bypassPermissions`) and the same command executes the
tool. On Grok 0.2.x the original combination worked because the CLI
accepted `dontAsk` without enforcing it; the 0.2.39 embedded docs state
the flag takes effect only for `bypassPermissions` / always-approve.
**Paperclip version or commit**
master (917d2350f)
## What Changed
- `packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/execute.ts`: `permissionMode`
no longer defaults to `dontAsk`. The adapter passes no
`--permission-mode` flag unless one is explicitly configured.
`--always-approve` (default on) remains the unattended policy.
- `packages/adapters/grok-local/src/index.ts`: config doc updated to
explain the new default and the Grok 1.0 semantics.
- `packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/execute.test.ts`:
default-args assertion now requires the absence of `--permission-mode`;
new test covers explicit `permissionMode` pass-through.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run packages/adapters/grok-local` — 7 files, 29 tests, all
pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-grok-local typecheck` — clean.
- Live matrix against Grok CLI 1.0.3 in a clean sandbox: `dontAsk
--always-approve` denies the first tool call; `--always-approve` alone
executes it; `bypassPermissions --always-approve` executes it; `dontAsk`
alone denies it.
## Risks
- Low risk. Operators who explicitly set `permissionMode` keep their
value verbatim. Only the implicit default changes, and the old default
is what breaks every run on current Grok CLI releases.
- On Grok 0.2.x the flag was unenforced, so omitting it does not change
behavior there.

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip now requires Node.js 24.11.0 or later
> - Each workspace package must publish the same Node.js engine
requirement
> - The Kimi adapter entered `master` after the Node.js upgrade branch
started
> - Its package still used Node.js 22 types and had no engine
requirement
> - This pull request aligns the Kimi adapter with the repository
Node.js policy
> - The benefit is that the Node.js policy check passes again on
`master`
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The `pnpm check:node-version` command fails on `master`. The Kimi
adapter uses `@types/node` 22 and has no `engines.node` value.
**Expected behavior**
All workspace packages must use Node.js 24 types and declare Node.js
24.11.0 as the minimum version.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Check out commit `a7e689b3c`.
2. Use Node.js 24.11.0.
3. Run `pnpm check:node-version`.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`a7e689b3c`
**Deployment mode**
Local dev (`pnpm dev`).
## What Changed
- Update the Kimi adapter to use `@types/node` 24.
- Add the repository minimum Node.js engine requirement to the Kimi
adapter package.
- Keep `pnpm-lock.yaml` out of this pull request.
## Verification
- `npx -y -p node@24.11.0 -c 'node --version && pnpm check:node-version
&& pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-kimi-local typecheck'`
- The command reports Node.js `v24.11.0`.
- The Node.js policy check passes.
- The Kimi adapter typecheck passes.
- A broader local suite was started and stopped at the maintainer's
request after the focused checks passed.
## Risks
- Low risk. This change updates package metadata and development types
only.
- The lockfile refresh runs in separate repository automation.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The instance settings surface (Access, Plugins, Adapters, General,
Experimental) assumes the person at the keyboard operates the whole
instance
> - Operators who host Paperclip for others — a managed cloud or an
internal shared server — expose settings pages and toggles that do not
apply to their deployment, and the related mutation APIs stay open
> - A hosted tenant can open Plugins or Adapters, try an action, and hit
a confusing failure, because only a few hardcoded platform floors exist
> - This pull request adds a generic, operator-configured visibility
mechanism: one env var hides declared settings surfaces in the UI and
floors their mutation routes with a stable 403 code
> - The benefit is a clean hosted-tenant settings surface for any
operator, with zero behavior change for normal self-hosted instances
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Instance settings (server routes and UI), the shared settings registry
in `packages/shared`, and the `/api/health` bootstrap payload.
**Problem or motivation**
An operator who hosts Paperclip for other people cannot hide settings
surfaces that the platform manages. Tenants see Access, Plugins, and
Adapters pages, backup retention, and host-level experimental toggles
that do nothing useful for them. The mutation APIs behind these surfaces
also stay open, so a tenant admin can attempt actions the platform must
control. ROADMAP.md names a cleaner shared deployment story as a goal
("Teams should be able to run the same product in hosted or semi-hosted
environments without changing the mental model").
**Proposed solution**
Add a declarative registry of hideable settings surfaces and one env
var, `PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS`. The server parses the list at boot,
reports it on `/api/health`, and rejects value-changing writes to hidden
surfaces with a stable `settings_operator_managed` 403 code. The UI
reads the list from the health payload and removes the hidden pages,
sections, and toggles from navigation, routes, and page content. Unknown
keys warn and are ignored, so one list can roll across a fleet with
mixed app versions. With the variable unset, behavior is byte-identical
to today.
**Alternatives considered**
- Hardcode the hidden set for cloud instances in this repo: rejected,
because each hosting operator needs a different policy, and policy does
not belong in shared code.
- Deliver the hidden set through the managed-config document: rejected,
because that channel is cloud-specific and fail-closed on unknown
fields; a plain env var works for any operator, including self-hosted
shared servers.
- Lock the controls with a badge instead of hiding them: rejected for
these surfaces, because they are meaningless to tenants, not merely
platform-controlled; the existing managed-overlay lock stays the right
tool for controlled flags.
**Roadmap alignment**
Supports the "shared deployment story" item in ROADMAP.md: hosted and
semi-hosted deployments keep the same product with a settings surface
that matches what the tenant can actually do.
## What Changed
- New `packages/shared/src/settings-visibility.ts`: registry of hideable
surfaces (every instance settings page — profile, environments, access,
heartbeats, experimental, plugins, adapters; every Instance → General
section; every experimental flag as `instance.experimental.<key>`), the
`PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS` parser, and the `settings_operator_managed`
error code. The General page stays visible as the settings root and
redirect target.
- New `server/src/services/settings-visibility.ts`: parse-once accessor;
unknown keys log one warning and are ignored.
- `/api/health` reports `hiddenSettings` on every response shape; the
field is omitted when nothing is hidden.
- Server floors on hidden surfaces, with same-value echo tolerance (the
`executionMode` precedent): field-backed general sections and
experimental keys reject value-changing PATCHes, and hiding the whole
Experimental page floors every toggle; plugin lifecycle and config
writes, adapter management writes, and the Access admin routes (reads
included) return 403 `settings_operator_managed`. Reads the app itself
needs (plugin `ui-contributions`, adapter metadata, plugin job trigger)
stay open. Pages without instance-scoped mutation routes are hidden in
the UI only.
- UI: new `useHiddenSettings` hook and `HiddenSettingsPageGate` route
gate (hidden pages redirect to the settings root); the settings sidebar
and tab bar drop hidden entries; remembered settings paths remap to the
default page; `InstanceGeneralSettings` skips hidden sections; every
`ExperimentalToggleCard` now carries its flag key and renders nothing
when hidden.
- Removed the dead `InstanceSidebar` component (referenced only by its
own test).
- Docs: `docs/deploy/environment-variables.md` documents the variable
and the key registry.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run` over the new and extended suites: shared registry
and parser, representative floor tests per route class (changed-value
403, same-value echo 200, unset env 200, page-level Experimental
hiding), the health field, the route gate, nav filtering, and
section/card hiding with one hidden example per surface kind — 168 tests
pass.
- Full root `pnpm typecheck` passes.
- Manual: booted a server with the variable set. `/api/health` lists the
keys; an unknown key logs one warning and the server boots; hidden pages
redirect; hidden sections and cards do not render; hidden-field PATCH
returns 403 with `details.code = "settings_operator_managed"`; a
same-value echo returns 200. Unset the variable: the full settings
surface returns and responses are byte-identical to master.
## Risks
- Low risk for self-hosted instances: with the variable unset, the
hidden set is empty, the health field is omitted, and no floor
activates.
- Flooring plugin config writes assumes hosted deployments configure
plugins through the platform. If a future bundled plugin needs
tenant-entered config, the floor needs a narrow carve-out.
- Hidden-key floors tolerate same-value echoes, so API clients that
round-trip full GET responses keep working.
- Hiding a toggle does not change its value; operators pair hiding with
the desired default where the value matters.
## Model Used
Claude Fable 5 (Anthropic, `claude-fable-5`) with extended thinking and
agentic tool use, driven through the Claude Code CLI (file edits, test
execution, and live-server verification loops).

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

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

or recovery path.

attempt.

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

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

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Local agent adapters stream their work through the shared acpx
engine, which every ACP adapter (`claude_local`, `codex_local`,
`gemini_local`, custom ACP) runs on
> - Verbose streaming backends break two shared-engine behaviors: the
auto-posted run summary concatenates every text delta including the
thought stream (a long multi-tool run once auto-posted a ~50k character
monologue as an issue comment), and token-by-token tool-argument
streaming floods the run log with tens of thousands of
placeholder-titled in-progress events per run
> - These fixes were developed inside the `kimi_local` adapter PR, where
Kimi Code's streaming volume (~16,000 text deltas per run vs ~290 for a
comparable Claude run) surfaced both problems
> - Changing this behavior for all adapters at once is a fleet-wide
risk, and hardcoding adapter identities in shared code does not scale to
many adapters (or work at all for externally-shipped plugin adapters) —
so the behaviors become invocation-config parameters that an adapter's
own acpx config builder sets, with defaults preserving today's behavior
byte-for-byte
> - The benefit is that the machinery lands fully tested with zero
behavior change for existing adapters — pin tests prove it — the engine
carries no adapter identities, and any adapter (including `custom_acp`
configs for external backends) opts in declaratively
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Refs #9967 — extracted from the `kimi_local` adapter PR and
restructured to be inert by default; the commit preserves the original
author's (@hawikk) authorship.
**Current behavior**
When an acpx-engine run ends without the agent leaving a comment, the
auto-posted summary is every streamed text delta concatenated, thought
stream included. Backends that stream tool arguments emit tens of
thousands of placeholder-titled `in_progress` tool events into the
stored run log, pinning the live activity indicator to a generic "tool
call". There is no mechanism for an adapter to vary either behavior, and
shared code must never branch on adapter identities.
**Proposed behavior**
Two engine invocation-config parameters, read with behavior-preserving
defaults: `summaryStrategy` (`"full"` = existing concatenation, the
default; `"lastOutputSegment"` = segment output at tool starts, exclude
thought stream, post the last non-empty segment) and
`coalescePlaceholderToolUpdates` (`false` = never drop an event, the
default; `true` = coalesce placeholder-titled in-progress updates). An
adapter opts in from its own acpx config builder — the engine has no
per-adapter knowledge, no adapter identity appears anywhere in shared
code, and `custom_acp` agent configs can set the same knobs for external
verbose backends.
**Reason and benefit**
Existing adapters are provably unaffected — new pin tests assert the
default path's summary and tool-event output byte-for-byte, so any
future change that alters behavior for claude/codex/gemini/custom fails
the suite. The verbose-backend handling still lands fully tested,
activated declaratively by the adapter that needs it (the `kimi_local`
adapter PR sets both knobs in its config builder).
## What Changed
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.ts`: the run
preparation parses `summaryStrategy` and
`coalescePlaceholderToolUpdates` from the invocation config (validated,
defaulted); summary accumulation and `emitRuntimeEvent` branch on the
prepared values. The default path is the pre-existing code
(`textParts.join("")`, no event filtering). `buildAcpxRunSummary` is the
exported last-segment strategy.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts`: a pin test
asserting the default path's exact summary (thought stream included) and
full tool-event stream (placeholder-titled in-progress updates present,
names restored); opt-in tests for each knob; a `buildAcpxRunSummary`
unit test.
- `ui/src/adapters/types.ts`: `UIAdapterModule` gains an optional
`transcriptPresentation` capability — `maxVisibleEntries` (issue-chat
transcript window, default 30) and `liveReasoningView` (`"ticker"`
default; `"scrollLog"` renders live reasoning in a scrollable
auto-following box with one entry per tool call).
- `ui/src/lib/issue-chat-messages.ts` and
`ui/src/components/IssueChatThread.tsx`: shared code resolves the hints
via `findUIAdapter(adapterType)` with today's defaults as fallback — no
adapter identities anywhere. The `scrollLog` rendering component ships
here but is unreachable until an adapter declares it.
- `ui/src/lib/issue-chat-messages.test.ts`: a capability test registers
a synthetic verbose adapter and asserts the wider window; the
pre-existing test keeps pinning the default 30-entry window.
No adapter declares any of this in this PR — every adapter renders and
summarizes exactly as before, and there is no per-adapter data anywhere.
The `kimi_local` adapter PR (#9967, stacked on this branch) is the first
consumer: it declares `transcriptPresentation` in its own UI module and
sets the engine knobs in its own acpx config builder.
## Verification
- Engine suite: 130/130 pass (126 existing + 4 new); chat suites
(`issue-chat-messages`, `IssueChatThread`, `RunChatSurface`): all pass
including the new synthetic-adapter capability test — 237 tests across
the touched surfaces
- The pin tests are the regression guard: the engine test encodes
today's summary text and tool-event sequence for a default-config run,
and the existing 30-entry-window test pins the default transcript
window, so "nothing changed for Claude/Codex users" is an executable
assertion, not a review judgment
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils --filter @paperclipai/ui
typecheck`: clean
## Risks
- Low: with no adapter setting the knobs, every code path taken in
production is the existing one. The only behavioral surface is additive
(an unused strategy and an unused filter), exercised by tests.
- The knobs are ordinary invocation-config keys, so a `custom_acp` agent
config can also set them — intended: an external verbose backend gets
the same handling without code changes. Both knobs only affect that
agent's own run summaries and run-log verbosity.
## Model Used
- Original implementation authored in #9967 by @hawikk (models
documented there: Moonshot AI Kimi K3 Coding via Kimi Code CLI 0.27.0,
OpenAI GPT-5 Codex, Anthropic Claude Opus 4.8). The commit preserves
that authorship.
- Extraction, restructuring into config-declared parameters, pin tests,
and verification: Anthropic, **Claude Fable 5** (`claude-fable-5`) via
Claude Code, with repository, shell, and Git tooling.

Related: #9834
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This improves the company settings UI, company export preparation, and
workspace runtime command matching.
**Current behavior**
Company and instance settings use separate navigation and duplicate
pages. Export preparation reads many independent records in sequence.
Preview generation can also build an unused organization image. A
command with a forced loopback bind can fail to match its saved runtime
command.
**Proposed behavior**
Use one settings navigation and put general instance controls on the
company General page. Load independent export data with bounded
concurrency, skip unused preview image work, and load the export page
only when it is needed. Treat the loopback-bound form of a command as
the same runtime command.
**Reason and benefit**
Operators get one clear settings area. Large company exports need fewer
serialized reads. Export previews and initial UI loads do less work.
Hardened runtime services remain linked to their saved command
definitions.
**Breaking changes**
The obsolete instance General URL redirects to the unified settings
page. Access and Heartbeats remain available, and legacy bookmarks keep
their destinations. No API response shape or database schema changes.
## What Changed
- Unified company and instance settings navigation and removed duplicate
instance settings pages.
- Embedded general instance controls in the company General page and
kept access-sensitive navigation behavior.
- Preserved instance Access and Heartbeats controls in the unified
navigation and normalized old bookmarks to those destinations.
- Improved environment and access-state handling when workspace seed
requests overlap.
- Added bounded export reads, a lighter preview path, deferred export
preparation, and lazy export-page loading.
- Matched loopback-bound runtime commands to their saved command
definitions.
- Added focused shared, server, and UI regression tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run <18 changed test files>`: 18 files and 256 tests
passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed all four token gates.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed for all workspace projects.
- `pnpm build`: passed for all workspace projects.
- `pnpm test:run`: tests ran without a reported failure, but the runner
did not close after the server handoff tests. The process closed with
status 0 after an interrupt.
- Focused latest-head route tests: 2 files and 4 tests passed.
- GitHub latest-head checks: all completed without failure.
- Greptile: 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.
## Risks
- Medium risk: settings routes and navigation changed across several
operator roles.
- Medium risk: bounded export concurrency increases simultaneous
database reads. The limits stay below the normal pool size.
- Low risk: runtime command matching accepts only the known Tailscale
HTTPS loopback transformation.
- No migrations are included.

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandbox-managed runtimes move files between a host and an isolated
sandbox
> - The git-bundle export path reads the full bundle into host memory
> - The workspace restore path already uses the provider native
`syncOut` transfer
> - This pull request uses `syncOut` for bundle export and keeps
`readFile` as a fallback
> - The change reduces host buffering and exposes the transfer to
provider tracing
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The sandbox git-bundle export used `client.readFile` even when the
provider supported native `syncOut`. The path buffered the full bundle
in host memory and used a chunked base64 command loop.
**Expected behavior**
The export should use one confined native file transfer when the
provider supports `syncOut`. Providers without that capability should
keep the existing `readFile` fallback.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Prepare a sandbox-managed runtime with native `syncOut` support.
2. Export the sandbox git bundle.
3. Inspect the sync operations and file reads.
4. Confirm that the bundle uses one native file mapping and that the
status file still uses `readFile`.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit `3fc88d14be7133867897e87838276e15aba675fd`.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source. The change applies to sandbox-managed runtime
execution.
**Additional context**
This PR contains a focused bug fix. No public issue matched this change
during the duplicate search.
## What Changed
- Route bundle export through `nativeSyncOut` when the provider supports
it.
- Keep the existing `readFile` fallback for providers without native
sync support.
- Confine the native bundle mapping with `assertSyncOperationsConfined`.
- Cover the native path, fallback path, retry path, and confinement
checks with unit tests.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts` — 52 tests
passed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit` in `packages/adapter-utils` — passed.
- The PR CI workflow must pass before merge.
## Risks
Low risk. The native path runs only when the provider advertises
`syncOut`. The existing `readFile` path remains available as a fallback.
Native transfer progress reports only start and finish events.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip provides a control plane for companies that run AI agents.
> - Sandboxed agents need a safe execution path for persistent command
streams.
> - The existing callback transport does not provide a bounded, generic
duplex route.
> - The host must control capability access, route identity, protocol
limits, and close behavior.

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

## Thinking Path

work
> - Execution workspaces need isolated databases, ports, and runtime
services
> - Concurrent workspaces could reuse ports or lose service ownership
after a restart
> - A markerless worktree also needed seed recovery, but normal
markerless instances still needed to boot

concurrent provisioning
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Managed workspaces could lose runtime service ownership after a
control-plane restart. Concurrent worktrees could also reuse a port when
their parent paths differed. A seed recovery change made every
markerless instance resolve a worktree seed source, so normal instances
without a source could not start.
**Expected behavior**
Paperclip must preserve healthy managed services across restarts. It
must reserve unique ports across worktree parents. It must provision a
registered markerless worktree, but it must skip seed work for a normal
markerless instance.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start two managed worktrees under different parent paths at the same
time.
2. Restart the control plane while a managed service stays alive.
3. Start Paperclip with a config that has no seed markers and no
registered worktree source.
4. Observe duplicate port selection, lost service adoption, or a
seed-source startup error.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Current `master` plus the workspace runtime reliability changes in this
pull request.
**Deployment mode**
Local development with managed execution workspaces and embedded
Postgres.
## What Changed
- Added a shared port registry with lease heartbeats, process identity
checks, and live listener probes.
- Reserved worktree ports across custom parent paths and repaired
duplicate legacy assignments.
- Preserved and adopted healthy managed services across control-plane
restarts.
- Reconciled guest bind modes and verified listener ownership before
termination or reuse.
- Provisioned registered markerless worktree databases and kept normal
markerless instance startup as a no-op.
- Added CLI, shared, server, and shell regression tests for seed, port,
listener, restart, and adoption behavior.
- Updated the worktree development documentation.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run cli/src/__tests__/worktree.test.ts
--reporter=verbose` — 63 tests passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/shared/src/worktree-port-registry.test.ts --reporter=verbose` —
5 tests passed.
- Focused runtime Vitest set — 199 tests passed across 37 suites.
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/provision-worktree-self-heal.test.mjs`
— 10 tests passed.
- `git diff --check` passed.
## Risks
- Port reservation now depends on lease and process identity data. The
fallback listener probe prevents early reclamation when process metadata
is incomplete.
- Runtime adoption is stricter about bind and owner identity. The tests
cover healthy adoption, stale records, PID reuse, and unrelated
listeners.
- Markerless seed detection now separates registered worktrees from
normal instances. The tests cover both paths.
- There are no database schema migrations.

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

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

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

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

## Model Used
Claude Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5[1m]`), 1M context, extended thinking, tool
use, and code execution produced the main candidate. OpenAI GPT-5
(`gpt-5`) through Codex, with agentic reasoning, tool use, and code

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When an agent runs through the Hermes gateway adapter, its stdout is
parsed line-by-line into transcript entries that the issue chat renders
(the UI fetches the adapter's `./ui-parser` from
`/api/adapters/:type/ui-parser.js` and runs `parseStdoutLine`
client-side)
> - Reasoning-capable models emit a `reasoning.available` gateway event
carrying the model's reasoning text, and the chat renders `thinking`
parts as expandable chain-of-thought
> - The gateway parser mapped `reasoning.available` to a hardcoded
`"Hermes reasoning available"` string and discarded the event payload,
so the "thinking" part had no real content — the indicator looked static
and expanding it revealed nothing (#9209)
> - This pull request extracts the actual reasoning text from the event
payload and uses it as the `thinking` part's text, keeping the old
string only as a fallback for payloads that carry no text
> - The benefit is that the "Hermes reasoning available" indicator now
surfaces the model's real reasoning, which the existing
expandable-thinking UI can display
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes: #9209
## What Changed
- `packages/adapters/hermes/src/gateway/ui/parse-stdout.ts`: the
`reasoning.available` handler now extracts the reasoning text from the
event `data` via a small helper (`extractReasoningText`), checking the
plausible field names (`reasoning`, `reasoning_text`, `thinking`,
`text`, `summary`, `content`) and recursing one level into nested `data`
/ `payload` records, with ANSI stripped. The prior `"Hermes reasoning
available"` string is kept only as a fallback when no text field is
present.
- `packages/adapters/hermes/gateway-ui-parser.cjs`: applied the
identical logical change to the committed CommonJS mirror (exported as
`./gateway/ui-parser`), keeping the two files in sync.
- `packages/adapters/hermes/src/gateway/ui/parse-stdout.test.ts` (new):
unit tests for the gateway parser (there were none) covering
direct-field, `summary`, nested `data`/`payload` extraction, the no-text
fallback, and regression guards for `message.delta` and plain stdout.
## Verification
Ran from `packages/adapters/hermes`:
- `node_modules/.bin/vitest run src/gateway/ui/parse-stdout.test.ts` →
**8/8 passed**.
- Negative control: stashed the source changes and re-ran the same test
file against the current (pre-patch) parser → **4/8 failed** (exactly
the reasoning-extraction assertions), then restored — confirming the
tests are discriminating, not vacuous.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p .` → clean.
Real-behavior proof (driving the actual shipped `gateway-ui-parser.cjs`
`parseStdoutLine`) is in the block below.
## Risks
- **Low risk.** Behavior is unchanged for events that carry no
recognizable text field — the `"Hermes reasoning available"` fallback is
preserved (verified). Only the `reasoning.available` branch changed;
`message.delta`, `run.failed`/`run.error`, and the generic/system/stdout
branches are untouched.
- The exact field name in a real `reasoning.available` payload is
defined by the external Hermes gateway and is not present anywhere in
this repo, so the extraction is intentionally defensive across several
plausible field names rather than pinned to one. If the real event nests
the text differently than `data` / `payload`, it will fall back to the
existing placeholder (i.e. no regression vs. today). Happy to tighten
the field list against real gateway traffic if a maintainer can share a
sample.
## Model Used
Claude Sonnet 5 (`claude-sonnet-5`) via Claude Code, with tool use and
local test execution (ran vitest/tsc against the change). Planning, code
review, and the real-behavior proof were done with Claude (Opus 4.8) in
the same session.
## Real behavior proof
**Behavior addressed:** A `reasoning.available` Hermes gateway event now
produces a `thinking` transcript part containing the model's real
reasoning text, instead of a static `"Hermes reasoning available"`
placeholder with no content behind it (#9209).
**Real environment tested:** Drove the actual shipped production
artifact — `packages/adapters/hermes/gateway-ui-parser.cjs`, the exact
module the UI loads via `/api/adapters/hermes-gateway/ui-parser.js` and
runs to parse gateway stdout — on Node v24.16.0, macOS. The input is a
raw stdout line in the exact format emitted by
`packages/adapters/hermes/src/gateway/server/execute.ts`
(`[hermes-gateway:event] run=… event=reasoning.available data=…`). Only
the external gateway boundary (the raw line) is synthesized; the parser
code path is the real one.
**Exact steps or command run after this patch:**
```
# BEFORE = git show HEAD:…/gateway-ui-parser.cjs ; AFTER = patched artifact
node proof.cjs # requires each parser build and calls parseStdoutLine(line, ts)
# line = [hermes-gateway:event] run=run-abc123 event=reasoning.available \
# data={"text":"Checking whether the cache key includes the tenant id before I refactor the lookup."}
```
**Evidence after fix:**
```
===== BEFORE (master / old code) =====
[ { "kind": "thinking", "ts": "…", "text": "Hermes reasoning available" } ]
thinking part carries real reasoning text? -> NO (static placeholder, nothing for the UI to expand)
===== AFTER (this patch) =====
[ { "kind": "thinking", "ts": "…",
"text": "Checking whether the cache key includes the tenant id before I refactor the lookup." } ]
thinking part carries real reasoning text? -> YES
```
Additional cases through the same shipped artifact after the patch:
```
-- nested payload (data.payload.reasoning) --
{"kind":"thinking","ts":"…","text":"Weighing two migration orders."}
-- bare signal, no text field (regression guard) --
{"kind":"thinking","ts":"…","text":"Hermes reasoning available"} # fallback preserved
-- message.delta still works (regression guard) --
{"kind":"assistant","ts":"…","text":"Hello","delta":true}
```
**Observed result after fix:** The `reasoning.available` event yields a
`thinking` part carrying the model's real reasoning text (top-level or
nested), which the existing expandable-thinking rendering in the chat
can display. Events with no text field still yield the original
placeholder, and unrelated events are unaffected.
**What was not tested:** I did not run against a live Hermes gateway —
Paperclip's Hermes gateway binary and its credentials aren't available
on this machine, and no captured real `reasoning.available` payload
exists in the repo, so the exact wire field name is inferred (hence the
defensive multi-field extraction + safe fallback). I also did not render
the full React chat component in jsdom; the change is confined to the
parser, and the chat's expandable `thinking` rendering already exists
(`ui/src/components/IssueChatThread.tsx`). CI / unit tests here are
supplemental to the runtime proof above.

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue found. I searched issues and PRs for "unrelated
histories", "Failed to merge concurrent", and "shallow". Depends on
#11637 (merged; the graft commit reuses its identity constant). This PR
is now rebased onto `master`.
**What happened?**
An agent run amended a commit inside its sandbox workspace to address
review feedback. The sandbox clone is depth-1 shallow, so git treated
the boundary commit as parentless and the amend produced a root commit.
At finalize, the host-side sync failed with `Failed to merge concurrent
remote git histories for <sha>` and the run was marked failed. A
follow-up run had to repair the branch by hand: fetch the true parent
from origin and rebuild the commit with `git commit-tree`.
**Expected behavior**
The sync must never strand completed work. When the imported history
shares no ancestor with the local one, the imported tree should still
land on the current head, with the imported message preserved and the
graft recorded.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a run whose workspace transport uses the shallow clone path
(`withShallowGitWorkspaceClone`, depth 1).
2. Inside the sandbox workspace, run `git commit --amend` on the
boundary commit. The result is a parentless root commit.
3. Finish the run. The host-side `integrateImportedGitHead` finds no
merge base, `merge-tree` fails, and the run fails.
## What Changed
- `git-workspace-sync.ts`: new exported
`createUnrelatedHistoryGraftCommit` helper. It reads the imported head's
tree and message, and creates one commit on top of the current head with
the deterministic sync identity and a trailer that records the graft and
both shas.
- `integrateImportedGitHead` (both the remote-git-sync version and the
SSH copy in `ssh.ts`): when `merge-base` reports no common ancestor,
graft instead of throwing. The ref update keeps the same
compare-and-swap and concurrent-retry semantics as the merge path.
- The graft is gated on `git merge-base` exiting with status 1 — the
no-ancestor signal. Operational failures (timeout, missing object,
repository error) keep the loud merge failure instead of rewriting the
tip.
- New regression tests: one builds the exact shallow-amend shape (a root
commit rebuilt from the base tree) and asserts the graft lands on the
current head with the imported tree, subject, and graft trailer; one
integrates a well-formed sha the repository does not hold and asserts
the integration still throws with the branch tip unchanged.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/git-workspace-sync.test.ts` — 19/19 pass
(includes the new graft test and the merge-base failure-discrimination
test).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck` — clean.
- Full `pnpm vitest run packages/adapter-utils`: every file passes
except `local-process-sandbox.test.ts`, which fails identically on an
untouched `master` checkout on macOS (bubblewrap-dependent,
pre-existing, unrelated).
## Risks
- Behavioral shift: unrelated imported histories previously failed the
integration; now they land as a squash-graft. In this degenerate case
there is no base to merge against, so the imported tree is taken
wholesale and concurrent local-only tree changes are superseded at the
tip. The local commits keep their place in the graft's ancestry, and the
trailer records both shas, so nothing is unrecoverable. The old behavior
lost the imported work instead, which is the worse failure for an
autonomous run.
- The graft reuses the imported head's commit message, so branch history
still reads naturally after a sandbox rewrite.
## Model Used

CLI (tool use for code exploration, test runs, and verification).

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Runs execute in transported workspaces; at finalize, the host syncs
the sandbox git history back into the local worktree
> - When both sides advanced, `integrateImportedGitHead` reconciles them
with `git merge-tree` plus `git commit-tree` on the host
> - Execution hosts are often containers with no git config and no
resolvable hostname, so `commit-tree` fails with "Author identity
unknown"
> - That one local command failure marks the whole run as failed, even
though the run's work succeeded
> - This pull request gives sync-created merge commits an explicit,
deterministic identity at the call site
> - The benefit is that workspace finalize no longer depends on ambient
host git configuration
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue found. I searched issues and PRs for "Author identity
unknown", "unrelated histories", and "commit-tree identity".
**What happened?**
A run finished its work, but workspace finalize failed. The host-side
sync ran `git commit-tree <tree> -p <localHead> -p <importedHead> -m
"Paperclip remote git sync merge <sha>"`. Git exited with `Author
identity unknown ... fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got
'node@<container-id>.(none)')`. The adapter recorded the whole run as
failed, and the host worktree kept the stale head. Any container
deployment without a global gitconfig reproduces this; I observed it on
a Paperclip Cloud stack.
**Expected behavior**
Commits that the sync machinery itself creates must not depend on
ambient host git configuration. The merge commit is machine-authored, so
it should carry a deterministic Paperclip identity.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the Paperclip server in a container with no
`user.name`/`user.email` git config and a hostname git cannot turn into
an email.
2. Let a run's sandbox branch diverge from the host worktree, so both
sides advance.
3. Workspace finalize calls `integrateImportedGitHead`. The `git
commit-tree` step fails with "Author identity unknown" and the run
fails.
## What Changed
- `git-workspace-sync.ts`: new exported `GIT_SYNC_COMMIT_IDENTITY_ARGS`
(`-c user.name=Paperclip -c user.email=noreply@paperclip.ing`), applied
to the `commit-tree` call in `integrateImportedGitHead`.
- `ssh.ts`: the SSH-sync copy of `integrateImportedGitHead` applies the
same identity args to its `commit-tree` call.
- New regression test: builds divergent histories in a repo with no
configured identity and asserts the sync merge commit is created with
the deterministic identity, correct parents, and merged tree.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/git-workspace-sync.test.ts` — 18/18 pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck` — clean.
- Negative proof: with the source fix stashed, the new test fails on the
identity assertion.
- Full `pnpm vitest run packages/adapter-utils`: every file passes
except `local-process-sandbox.test.ts`, which fails identically on an
untouched `master` checkout on macOS (bubblewrap-dependent,
pre-existing, unrelated).
## Risks
Low risk. The change only adds `-c` identity flags to two
machine-generated commit invocations. `GIT_AUTHOR_*` / `GIT_COMMITTER_*`
environment variables still take precedence over `-c` when an operator
sets them, so existing deployments that configure an identity keep their
behavior.

## Thinking Path

work.
> - Agents need scoped secret bindings to use external services safely.
> - Agents could not request an existing secret under a new config name
without an internal secret identifier.
> - Existing binding proposals were only visible in Settings and did not
create an issue-thread approval path.

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent adapters run agent sessions through the ACPX engine
> - The ACPX engine handled one run attempt as a long implicit procedure
> - That shape made resource ownership, cleanup order, and failure
behavior hard to verify
> - This pull request gives the attempt a coordinator, a typed resource
ledger, separate run sites, and explicit turn and settlement sequences
> - The benefit is clear ownership, one cleanup path, safer session
reuse, and testable failure behavior
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The ACPX engine manages startup, turn execution, session reuse, and
cleanup inside one large run procedure.
**Current behavior**
The run procedure owns several resources through implicit control flow.
Cleanup and session reuse behavior depend on lane-specific branches and
error paths.
**Proposed behavior**
The coordinator owns the run attempt. A typed ledger records six
resources and their states. Host and sandbox run sites own lane-specific
acquisition. Turn and settlement sequences expose typed outcomes. The
engine emits allowlisted phase telemetry.
**Reason and benefit**
Explicit ownership makes cleanup and failure behavior easier to inspect.
The fault matrix and characterization tests protect the external result
while the refactor reduces hidden control flow.
**Breaking changes**
None to the public adapter contract. The host warm-save path now closes
and relaunches the runtime because a transferred runtime could retain a
run-scoped credential. A cold session-handshake failure now closes the
created runtime.
**Additional context**
This pull request contains the ACPX engine lifecycle refactor, its
tests, and the lifecycle document.
## What Changed
- Add a run coordinator for startup, turn execution, settlement, and
result reproduction.
- Add a typed resource ledger with open, sealed, and consumed states.
- Add host and sandbox run sites for lane-specific resource acquisition.
- Replace separate runtime maps with a generic session reuse store.
- Split session fingerprint identity from the outer session key.
- Add typed turn and settlement sequences with one cleanup owner.
- Add a closed allowlist for phase telemetry.
- Add characterization tests and a 17-case fault matrix.
- Add `doc/acp-run-lifecycle.md`.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/` passes 18
files and 286 tests at the submitted commit.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck` reports 0 errors
at the submitted commit.
- Run the full pull request checks after GitHub starts CI.
- Run Greptile review after the pull request opens.
## Risks
- The refactor changes internal control flow across the ACPX engine.
- Host warm-save behavior now closes and relaunches the runtime.
- Settlement changes the handling of a cold session-handshake failure
from a leak to a close.
- The characterization baselines and fault matrix reduce the risk of an
external behavior change.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue covers this. The problem is described in-PR
following the bug template. Related public PRs:
[#11237](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/11237) added the
sandbox device login and the credential promotion,
[#11097](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/11097) added its
building blocks, and the `ensureSymlink` heal for stale copies came from
the fix for #5028.
[#9621](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/9621) touches the
adjacent sandbox auth sync-back lane but not this defect.
**Subsystem affected**
packages/adapters/codex-local — managed `CODEX_HOME` seeding
(`codex-home.ts`).
**Current behavior**
A successful device login promotes the subscription `auth.json` into the
company Codex home as a regular file, and the UI reports the login as
authenticated. The next `seedManagedCodexHome` call — the environment
Test probe and every execute both run it — removes any regular-file
`auth.json` when no API key is configured, because the cleanup assumes
such a file is apikey-mode residue left by a previous run. It then
symlinks `auth.json` from the shared source home. On a server whose
shared home has no Codex login (a container image, for example), there
is no source to symlink, so the home ends with no credential at all. The
Test probe then reports "The sandbox has no ready authentication for
this adapter" immediately after a successful login, and a fresh login
repeats the same cycle. On a server whose shared home does hold a login,
the symlink silently replaces the promoted account with the host
account.
**Expected behavior**
The credential a device login promoted stays in the company home across
Test probes and runs. The #5028 heal (a stale regular-file copy of the
shared credential becomes a symlink to the live source) and the
apikey-residue cleanup keep working.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the server in an environment whose shared Codex home
(`$CODEX_HOME` or `~/.codex`) has no `auth.json`.
2. Complete a Codex device login for a company; the promotion writes the
company home `auth.json` and the UI reports authenticated.
3. Click Test on a codex_local agent (or start a run). The probe reports
no ready authentication, and the promoted `auth.json` is gone from the
company home.
**Proposed solution**
Make the cleanup identity-anchored, the same rule the promotion and the
cache vend already use. A regular-file `auth.json` survives re-seeding
when it holds a usable subscription identity that the shared source does
not also hold, and the shared symlink does not replace it. A
same-identity regular file is still the #5028 stale copy and is still
healed into the symlink, because the symlink serves the same account
with live, rotating tokens. An apikey-mode or unreadable file is still
removed.
## What Changed
- `seedManagedCodexHome` reads the target `auth.json` before the cleanup
and keeps it when `readSubscriptionAccountId` yields an identity the
shared source `auth.json` does not hold. The kept file is excluded from
the shared symlink pass, and the function logs a fixed line when it
keeps the file.
- The function doc comment states the kept-promoted-credential rule.
- Four new `seedManagedCodexHome` test cases: a promoted credential with
no shared auth, a promoted credential with a different shared identity,
the same-identity #5028 heal, and apikey-mode residue removal.
## Verification
```sh
cd packages/adapters/codex-local
npx tsc --noEmit # clean
npx vitest run # 28 files, 321 passed, 1 skipped
```
The four new cases fail on the previous code: the first two observed the
promoted file deleted (and, with a shared login present, replaced by the
shared symlink).
## Risks
Low risk. The change narrows one deletion path. Deployments that never
use the device login see no difference: without a promoted subscription
file, the cleanup and the symlink behave exactly as before, and the
#5028 heal is pinned by an existing test plus a new same-identity test.
The one deliberate behavioral shift: after a device login, the promoted
company credential now stays authoritative over the shared host login
for that company — which is the promotion's documented contract ("the
company credential slot").

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

work
> - Managed agents run inside a sandbox and reach the Paperclip server
only through the sandbox callback bridge, which forwards a fixed route
allowlist (`DEFAULT_SANDBOX_CALLBACK_BRIDGE_ROUTE_ALLOWLIST`)
> - The `paperclip-create-agent` skill instructs an agent to call
adapter/icon discovery endpoints, compare existing agent configurations,
submit a hire request, and link the resulting approval to its source
issue
> - None of those routes were on the bridge allowlist, so a sandboxed
agent following the skill correctly hit `Route not allowed` on every
call — including the hire `POST` itself — making hiring impossible from
inside a sandbox
> - This pull request adds the six routes the skill uses to the bridge
allowlist, while keeping direct agent creation (`POST
/api/companies/:id/agents`) denied
> - The benefit is that hiring works end-to-end for sandboxed agents
through the approval-gated `agent-hires` path, without widening the
bridge beyond what the skill needs
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists; describing the bug in-PR (bug template fields):
- **What happened:** A managed agent running in a sandbox followed the
`paperclip-create-agent` skill and got `Route not allowed` from the
callback bridge on every endpoint the skill documents — adapter
discovery (`/llms/agent-configuration.txt`,
`/llms/agent-configuration/:adapterType.txt`, `/llms/agent-icons.txt`),
config comparison (`GET /api/companies/:id/agent-configurations`), the
hire submission (`POST /api/companies/:id/agent-hires`), and approval
linking (`POST /api/issues/:id/approvals`).
- **Expected behavior:** An agent with hiring permission can complete
the hire flow from inside a sandbox; the bridge forwards the skill's
routes and the server enforces authorization (`canCreateAgents`).
- **Impact:** Hiring by sandboxed agents was fully broken — the failure
is in the transport allowlist, not permissions, so no configuration
could work around it.
Related: #8981 (companion fix making the `paperclip-create-agent` skill
available to agents that can hire; supersedes #8823). The two changes
serve the same end-to-end hire flow but are independently mergeable —
this PR is purely the bridge transport allowlist.
Supersedes #8853.
## What Changed
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-callback-bridge.ts`: add six
routes used by the `paperclip-create-agent` skill to
`DEFAULT_SANDBOX_CALLBACK_BRIDGE_ROUTE_ALLOWLIST` (three `GET /llms/...`
discovery routes, `GET .../agent-configurations`, `POST
.../agent-hires`, `POST /api/issues/:id/approvals`), with a comment
documenting why direct agent creation stays denied
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-callback-bridge.test.ts`: assert
the six routes are allowed, and add negative cases proving the regexes
do not over-match (no `POST .../agents`, no non-`.txt` or arbitrary
`/llms` files, no `agent-hires` sub-resources)
## Verification
- `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-callback-bridge.test.ts` — 13/13
tests pass locally
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/adapter-utils` — clean
- Manual: run a managed agent in a sandbox, invoke the
`paperclip-create-agent` skill, and confirm the discovery calls, hire
`POST`, and approval linking all pass through the bridge; `POST
/api/companies/:id/agents` still returns `Route not allowed`
## Risks
- Low risk: additive allowlist entries only; anchored regexes with
`[^/]+` segments prevent over-matching (covered by tests)
- The bridge allowlist bounds surface area but does not replace
server-side authorization — the hire `POST` remains approval-gated and
permission-checked (`canCreateAgents`) on the server

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents run via per-adapter execute paths; the `cursor_cloud` adapter
runs the agent in Cursor's cloud (remote), orchestrated server-side via
the Cursor Agent SDK
> - Local adapters receive a run-scoped Paperclip JWT
(`supportsLocalAgentJwt=true`) injected as `PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` so the
agent can call the Paperclip API; `cursor_cloud` is intentionally
`supportsLocalAgentJwt=false` (no JWT minted for a remote worker)
> - But `buildPaperclipEnv` always sets `PAPERCLIP_API_URL` (defaulting
to the local runtime host), so the remote cloud worker is handed a
callback URL it can neither reach nor authenticate against
> - Any agent-initiated Paperclip API call from the cloud worker
therefore fails with a 401 (or is unreachable), producing log noise and
confusing failures
> - This pull request drops the callback wiring when there is no usable
key, so cloud-side Paperclip tools degrade to a clean no-op
> - The benefit is no spurious 401s from remote cloud runs, with run
results unaffected (delivered server-side via the Cursor Agent SDK)
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing public issue — describing the bug inline (per
`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml`):
**What happened**
`cursor_cloud` runs emit 401s when the remote cloud agent attempts
Paperclip API calls. Root cause: `buildPaperclipEnv`
(`packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.ts`) always sets
`PAPERCLIP_API_URL` (local runtime default), while `cursor_cloud` has
`supportsLocalAgentJwt=false`, so no `PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` is minted — URL
present, key absent → 401 / unreachable from `buildWakeEnv` in
`packages/adapters/cursor-cloud/src/server/execute.ts`.
**Expected behavior**
A remote cloud worker that is not issued a run JWT should not attempt
(and fail) Paperclip API callbacks.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Configure a `cursor_cloud` agent (runs in Cursor's cloud;
`supportsLocalAgentJwt=false`).
2. Trigger a run that causes the cloud agent to make a Paperclip API
call.
3. Observe a 401 (or unreachable) because `PAPERCLIP_API_URL` points at
an unreachable local runtime and no key is present.
**Paperclip version**
Reproduced on current `master` (cutover base `e68188c43`).
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted control plane, `cursor_cloud` adapter (remote execution in
Cursor's cloud).
**Related PRs (searched; none duplicate this fix):**
- #8197 — `claude_local` opt-out of the sandbox *bridge* for
direct-reachable remote SSH targets. Related family, but the opposite
situation: that path keeps the callback because the remote is reachable
**and** has a run token. `cursor_cloud` has neither, so here the
callback is removed.
- #8130, #4794, #8025 — `PAPERCLIP_API_URL`/loopback injection for
**local** agents (distinct from the remote cloud worker case).
- #401 — alternative agent-auth scheme (run-ID header when no bearer
token); different approach, not overlapping with this targeted fix.
## What Changed
- `packages/adapters/cursor-cloud/src/server/execute.ts`: in
`buildWakeEnv`, when there is no usable `PAPERCLIP_API_KEY`, delete
`PAPERCLIP_API_URL` and `PAPERCLIP_API_BRIDGE_MODE` so the remote worker
performs no Paperclip API callbacks. Informational `PAPERCLIP_*` vars
(run id, agent id, company id, task, wake reason) still flow. When a key
*is* present (operator-provided), the URL is retained.
- `packages/adapters/cursor-cloud/src/server/execute.test.ts`: new test
asserting no callback vars are injected when no run JWT is present;
positive assertion that the URL is retained when a key is present.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapters/cursor-cloud/src/server/execute.test.ts` → **5/5
pass**.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-cursor-cloud typecheck` →
**green**.
- Confirmed result delivery does not depend on this callback:
`execute()` reads results server-side via `Agent.getRun()` and
`run.wait()`.
## Risks
- **Low risk.** Only affects the env handed to remote `cursor_cloud`
workers. No schema/migration/behavioral change to result delivery (which
is server-side). When an operator explicitly provides
`PAPERCLIP_API_KEY`, the callback URL is retained, preserving
intentional callback setups.
## Model Used
- **Claude Opus 4.8** (Anthropic), extended/high reasoning mode, via the
Cursor agent with tool use + code execution. Diagnosis grounded in the
adapter/runtime code.

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

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

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

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip runs work through adapters and sandbox providers
> - Providers need a clear contract so the server can use only verified
capabilities
> - A declared capability must not grant a method that the live worker
did not verify
> - This pull request adds manifest declarations and fail-closed
effective capability resolution
> - The benefit is safe provider reuse across execution targets and run
lifecycles
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (multiple of the above)
**Problem or motivation**
Sandbox providers expose different runtime methods. The server needs one
safe capability contract that accounts for provider declarations, worker
verification, and narrowing configuration.
**Proposed solution**
Add strict manifest validation for five sandbox capabilities. Resolve
effective capabilities as the subset of verified, declared, and narrowed
values. Store the result as a frozen execution-target snapshot.
**Alternatives considered**
Trusting the manifest alone could grant methods that the worker does not
support. Trusting only a fixed built-in list would reject valid
third-party providers. The intersection rule keeps the verified runtime
ceiling and supports both provider types.
**Roadmap alignment**
This change supports the ACP run lifecycle track and the sandbox
provider contract work in the current roadmap.
**Additional context**
The legacy `supportsReusableLeases` field remains supported. The nested
capability validator rejects unknown keys. Missing or unavailable
verification resolves all capabilities to `false`.
## What Changed
- Add strict `sandboxCapabilities` manifest validation with legacy
reusable-lease compatibility.
- Carry declarations through the ready-driver projection.
- Add fail-closed effective resolution from verified, declared, and
narrowed capabilities.
- Add narrowing for provider configuration, Kubernetes Job leases, and
Daytona sessions.
- Add a frozen read-only capability snapshot to execution targets.
- Add focused tests and keep existing characterization baselines
covered.
- Add and update sandbox provider capability documentation.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run packages/shared/src/validators/plugin.test.ts`
- `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/plugin-environment-driver-sandbox-capabilities.test.ts`
- `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/sandbox-capability-contract.test.ts`
- `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target-capabilities.test.ts`
- `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/startup-characterization.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/turn-characterization.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/settlement-characterization.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/composed-run-characterization.test.ts`
- Package typechecks for shared, server, and adapter-utils pass.
- Stage-2 security review suites pass with 28 tests.
## Risks
The resolver fails closed when verification is absent or unavailable.
Providers that rely on undeclared capabilities may see narrower behavior
until they expose verified worker methods. The change does not alter the
existing native-sync guard.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, exact runtime model ID `gpt-5`, tool use and code
execution. The implementation author used this model to assist with the
change.

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip starts and supervises managed runtime services for a
project's execution workspaces, so an agent's branch can be previewed
while it works
> - Those services only listen on plain loopback HTTP. A person on
another device, or on a phone, cannot open the preview
> - A Tailscale HTTPS mapping solves this, but `tailscale serve` needs
host privileges that the Paperclip server process must not hold
> - This pull request adds the foundation only: a separate
least-privilege host broker, the shared exposure contract, and the
database columns that hold exposure state
> - Nothing calls the broker yet, so there is no behavior change. The
benefit is that the privileged surface is small, reviewable, and
isolated before any lifecycle code depends on it
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists. The change follows the feature request
template.
**Subsystem affected**
Managed workspace runtime services, the shared type and validator
package, and the database schema.
**Problem or motivation**
A managed runtime service binds to loopback only. There is no supported
way to reach that preview from another device. Adding HTTPS directly to
the server would mean the server process runs `tailscale serve`, which
needs privileges far wider than the task requires. A compromised or
buggy server could then map any port to the tailnet.
**Proposed solution**
Split the privileged work into a separate broker process with a narrow
protocol, and define one shared contract that the server, the UI, the
runtime, and the broker all read. Land this foundation first, with no
caller, so the privileged code can be reviewed on its own.
**Alternatives considered**
- Call `tailscale serve` from the server process. This was rejected
because it gives the server unrestricted mapping authority.
- Use `sudo` for single `tailscale` commands. This was rejected because
the argument list is the only guard, and it is easy to widen by
accident.
- Use a generic reverse proxy. This was rejected because it does not
remove the need for a privileged Tailscale mapping step.
**Roadmap alignment**
This supports the existing managed workspace runtime capability. It adds
no new product surface on its own.
**Additional context**
The broker is the security boundary of the feature, so it is
deliberately the first slice. Three later pull requests build on it: the
server exposure lifecycle, the runtime lease and recovery integration,
and the leased-port mediator.
## What Changed
- Add the `@paperclipai/tailscale-https-broker` workspace package. The
broker listens on a unix socket, authorizes each peer with
`SO_PEERCRED`, and answers a small request protocol.
- Restrict what the broker will map. It accepts only same-number
HTTPS-to-loopback pairs inside the Paperclip port range, refuses
protected ports, and confirms that the loopback port belongs to a
Paperclip-owned listener.
- Parse every request with a strict JSON reader that rejects duplicate
keys, prototype keys, and unknown fields.
- Write an append-only audit record for each broker decision.
- Add the shared exposure contract in `@paperclipai/shared`: the
`RuntimeExposureConfig`, `RuntimeExposureState`, and
`RuntimeExposureStatus` types, their zod validators, the app and HMR
port rules, and the loopback-bind helpers.
- Persist exposure state on `workspace_runtime_services` with the new
`exposure` column, plus the server-private `exposure_handle` and
`backend_url` columns that are never serialized to API clients.
- Add the `execution_workspace_runtime_leases` table that the later
lease slice uses.
- Extend the runtime read-model test fixture for the three new columns.
## Verification
Focused checks, all run on this branch:
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/tailscale-https-broker test` — 12 files,
82 tests pass. This covers peer credentials, port policy, protected
ports, the serve config writer, the strict JSON reader, argv parsing,
and the socket server.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/tailscale-https-broker typecheck` — clean.
- `npx vitest run --root packages/shared src/runtime-exposure
src/validators/runtime-exposure.test.ts` — 3 files, 40 tests pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` — runs `check:migrations`
first. Migration numbering and migration safety both pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — clean.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — clean.
- `npx vitest run --root server
src/services/workspace-runtime-read-model.test.ts` — 3 tests pass.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` — 139 errors, which is
exactly the count on `master` before this branch. All 139 come from the
unbuilt `@paperclipai/plugin-sdk` package.
To confirm the exposure state is inert, start a managed runtime service
as usual. The new columns stay null and the service behaves as it does
today.
## Risks
- Migration risk is low. Both migrations only add a table and three
nullable columns. No column is backfilled and no existing column
changes. The migration safety check passes.
- Behavior risk is low. No code path calls the broker in this pull
request, and the shared exposure fields are optional.
- The broker is privileged, so it is the real risk surface. It is
mitigated by peer-credential authorization, a fixed port range, a
protected-port deny list, same-number pair enforcement,
listener-ownership checks, strict JSON parsing, and an audit trail.
Reviewers should read
`packages/tailscale-https-broker/src/authorization.ts` and
`src/port-policy.ts` closely.
- The broker requires a `tailscale` version floor, which its README
records. An older host CLI makes the broker refuse to start rather than
map incorrectly.
- `pnpm-lock.yaml` changes because a new workspace package is added. The
diff is the new importer block, plus one duplicate `tinyexec` entry that
pnpm removed.

> - Issue interactions give agents and people a structured decision
record.

> - Some routes blocked valid agents, including task watchdogs with

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

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
`execution-target-sandbox` has failed twice in CI and not once in several
hundred local runs. This does not fix it. It makes the next occurrence carry
its own evidence, because a third unreproducible failure would teach nothing.
The observed signature was an empty stdout with exit code 0 - the child exited
cleanly having produced nothing, which is what a lost stdin frame looks like
from the test's side. Three mechanisms were checked and ruled out rather than
assumed: the helper resolving on `exit` rather than `close` (a 200-iteration
probe produced no truncations, and the failure was empty rather than partial);
the wrapper reporting exit before stdout drains (it already listens on
`close`); and frame writes racing (the stream wrapper's `writeEvent` is
synchronous and sequence-numbered).
Two candidates remain and the runtime tree separates them. A stdin queue frame
still present means the host wrote it and the wrapper never consumed it; a
drained queue with no output means it was consumed and the reply was lost on
the way back. The report prints that tree, both proxy streams, the exit code,
and the elapsed time - the last because the bridge and proxy run on 5s budgets
that are generous locally and tight on a runner sharing a box with 19 other
lanes.
Timeouts are deliberately unchanged. Raising them would probably make the
symptom go away, which is the reason not to do it blind.
The first revision capped the tree walk one level above the queue frames, so
"the queue is empty" and "the walk never looked" printed identically - the
distinction the report exists to make. Caught in review. Verifying that the
reporter printed something was not enough; it had to print the thing that
discriminates, which is now checked by planting a frame and forcing the
assertion.
adapter-utils typecheck clean; 44 pass, stable across repeated runs.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The adapter runtime starts, turns, settles, and composes ACPX runs
> - Recent lifecycle corrections changed several order and cleanup rules
> - Those rules need regression coverage before the planned engine
refactor

behavior

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

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, with tool use and code execution.

## Thinking Path

work.

lease resources.
> - Several failure paths left runtime bridges, staged workspaces, or
environment leases active after an error.

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

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

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

and clears stale handles

stops responding
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11341
**What happened?**
The Daytona sandbox liveness read had no per-call timeout. A silent
connection failure left the read pending until the broad host-to-worker
RPC limit expired.
**Expected behavior**
The plugin should stop a liveness call within a defined limit and report
a clear timeout error.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a Daytona sandbox handle.
2. Make the cached handle freshness read never resolve.
3. Run the next sandbox operation.
4. Observe that the operation waits for the outer RPC limit without a
liveness timeout.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` before this change.
**Deployment mode**
Any deployment mode that uses the Daytona sandbox provider.
## What Changed
- Add `withLivenessTimeout` with timer cleanup and
`SandboxLivenessTimeoutError`.
- Bound `refreshData` with configurable `livenessTimeoutMs`, which
defaults to 30000 milliseconds.
- Bound sandbox start and recovery calls with the SDK timeout plus a
5000 millisecond margin.
- Reject `livenessTimeoutMs` values above 86400000 milliseconds and
document the setting.
- Evict a cached handle after a failed freshness refresh so the next
operation fetches a new handle.
- Add a test for a never-resolving freshness refresh and the
cached-handle eviction.
## Verification
- Run the Daytona plugin test suite with its package Vitest
configuration.
- Confirm that 150 of 150 tests pass.
- Confirm that the new test reports a bounded timeout and a fresh handle
on the next operation.
- Confirm that GitHub Actions reports green status checks after the pull
request starts.
## Risks
This change adds an early timeout only to Daytona liveness calls. A
value of 0 or less disables the extra bound. The default leaves normal
SDK calls within their expected time limit. The main risk is a timeout
value that is too short for a slow but healthy connection.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip provides CLI commands and guidance for operators and
agents
> - The `pnpm paperclipai` script can pass argument values through a
shell
> - Shell re-parsing can execute command substitutions inside quoted
values
> - This pull request routes guidance through inert-argv `npx
paperclipai` commands and adds regression coverage
> - The benefit is safer operator guidance across documentation and
runtime hints
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This pull request fixes a command-injection-class defect in Paperclip
CLI guidance.
**What happened?**
The `pnpm paperclipai <sub> --flag "$VALUE"` form can re-parse argument
values through a shell. A command substitution inside a quoted value can
execute on the host.
**Expected behavior**
Paperclip guidance must pass CLI values as inert argument values.
Host-derived values must not appear in copyable commands.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a Paperclip guidance command that uses the `pnpm paperclipai`
script.
2. Provide a quoted value that contains a command substitution.
3. Observe that the shell can evaluate the substitution before the CLI
starts.
4. Compare the result with the `npx paperclipai` form.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`5670984b75d109950c968542a0111ebb6967f4da`
**Deployment mode**
All deployment modes that show or use the affected CLI guidance.
**Installation method**
Built from source and installed CLI guidance.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core bug).
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Access context**
Both.
**Additional context**
The earlier merged PR
[#11343](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/11343) used the
unsafe `pnpm exec paperclipai` form. This fresh PR replaces that
guidance with the safe `npx paperclipai` form.
## What Changed
- Standardize documentation and runtime hints on `npx paperclipai`.
- Remove the broken `pnpm exec paperclipai` guidance.
- Use a static `<host>` placeholder in private-hostname guidance.
- Add regression tests for unsafe forms, continued lines, static hosts,
and offline guidance.
## Verification
- `git diff --check
origin/master...origin/fix/paperclipai-cli-npx-safe-invocation` passes.
- The branch adds `server/src/__tests__/cli-invocation-safety.test.ts`
and updates private-hostname tests.
- CI must run the new tests, typecheck, lint, and build checks.
- Local Vitest execution was not available because this worktree has no
installed Vitest binary.
## Risks
- The change affects operator and agent documentation text.
- The runtime hints now show `<host>` instead of a request-derived host
value.
- No database schema or migration changes exist.
- CI will detect any missed unsafe invocation or type error.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5, exact model ID `gpt-5`, with tool use and code-review
assistance. The model used repository inspection, Git operations, and PR
preparation.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent adapters can run through a sandbox process-session bridge
> - The bridge writes streamed standard input to files before the remote
process reads them
> - Concurrent file writes can make a later chunk visible before an
earlier chunk
> - The remote process can then parse a tail fragment and wait forever
for the missing head
> - This pull request serializes host writes and makes an unexpected
file gap a loud error
> - The benefit is ordered input with a bounded failure path for sandbox
ACP sessions
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this change. The description below
follows `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml`.
**What happened?**
A sandbox ACP process-session bridge could stall after its handshake
when a run sent a large prompt. The host sent one un-awaited file write
for each standard input chunk. A small later chunk could finish before a
large earlier chunk. The remote poller then sent the tail bytes first.
The agent parser raised an error on the tail fragment, and the head
bytes stayed buffered without a newline.
**Expected behavior**
The bridge must expose standard input files in sequence. The remote
poller must report a clear error when an earlier file remains missing
beyond the retry budget.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start an ACP session through a sandbox process-session bridge.
2. Send a prompt that produces multiple standard input file chunks.
3. Delay finalization of an earlier chunk while a later chunk completes.
4. Observe that the remote parser can receive the later chunk first and
the session can stop without a clear error.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The change targets the current `master` branch at the submitted commit.
**Deployment mode**
The bug affects sandbox execution.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
The failure affects the ACP process-session bridge.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Additional context**
The fix keeps the existing per-file atomic write behavior. It adds
ordering at the host write boundary and a bounded ordering check in the
shared wrapper poll tail.
## What Changed
- Add a per-session promise chain for host standard input file writes.
- Keep a failed write from blocking later chain entries.
- Track the next expected sequence number in the shared wrapper poll
tail.
- Hold later files while an earlier file is missing within the existing
retry budget.
- Emit a loud error and advance after the retry budget expires.
- Add regression tests for host ordering, gap holding, and the loud
error path.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target-stdin-race.test.ts` — 9
tests passed.
- `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target-sandbox.test.ts` — 43 tests
passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck` — clean.
- With the source fix reverted, the 3 new tests fail and the 6 original
tests pass.
- CI must pass on the pull request before merge.
## Risks
Low risk.
- The host now serializes writes for each session, which can reduce
write parallelism.
- A failed write still emits one error and destroys the socket, as
before.
- The wrapper can emit a loud error after the existing retry budget when
a file gap persists.
- The change does not alter the atomic per-file write behavior.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip runs AI agents through adapters and sandboxed execution
paths
> - The sandbox callback bridge carries file requests between the host
and a sandbox
> - The poll loop waited forever when a sandbox call stopped responding
> - A permanent wait stranded queued requests and hid the run failure

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The sandbox callback bridge could wait forever when a client call
stopped responding without a rejection.
**Expected behavior**
The bridge should fail queued requests and report a run-level error when
the sandbox channel stops responding.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a sandbox callback bridge.
2. Queue a request.
3. Make the sandbox call stop responding.
4. Observe that the request does not receive a failure response.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit `edc4f71b460c600f97cf44cb486d5cac72ca2db9`.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source.
**Installation method**
Built from source with pnpm.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Custom or external sandbox callback bridge.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
## What Changed
- Add a per-iteration timeout for `listJsonFiles` and
`processRequestFile`.
- Add a watchdog that fails pending requests when the loop makes no
progress.
- Abort a hung handler and use a non-retryable 504 backstop when its
outcome can be indeterminate.
- Retry recovery writes and keep queued requests when a recovery write
fails.
- Forward the indeterminate-outcome header through the execution target.
- Record worker failures through the
`sandbox.callbackBridge.workerFailed` trace span.
- Add tests for timeout, watchdog, recovery, mutation safety, header
forwarding, and fast-request behavior.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-callback-bridge.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target-sandbox.test.ts`.
- Confirm that the PR test, typecheck, build, end-to-end, serialized
test, and security checks pass.
- Confirm that the current PR head is
`edc4f71b460c600f97cf44cb486d5cac72ca2db9`.
- Confirm that the PR changes four files: the callback bridge, its
tests, the execution target, and its tests.
## Risks
The default timeout can fail a slow but valid sandbox call. The defaults
remain configurable, and the iteration timeout stays below the sandbox
response deadline. A mutation that may have committed returns a
non-retryable 504 outcome so the caller does not apply it twice.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 current runtime, with extended reasoning and tool
use. The exact context window is not exposed by the runtime.

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Local adapters report run output, token use, and cost data.
> - The Grok local adapter now reports real token use and cost data.
> - Its new billing test must prove the no-key path and the API-key
path.
> - The no-key assertion used the caller environment without isolation.
> - This made the test fail when `XAI_API_KEY` was already set.
> - This pull request isolates that environment state in the test.
> - The benefit is stable coverage for the cost gate from #10433.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #10433
**What happened?**
The Grok local usage and cost test asserted subscription billing while
it still used the ambient process environment. If `XAI_API_KEY` was set
before the test ran, the adapter selected API billing instead. The
subscription assertion could then fail on a developer machine or a CI
runner with provider credentials.
**Expected behavior**
The test should prove the subscription path with no `XAI_API_KEY`. It
should also prove the API billing path with a test key.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start from `master` after #10433.
2. Set `XAI_API_KEY` in the shell environment.
3. Run `vitest` for
`packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/execute.test.ts`.
4. Observe that the subscription half can take the API billing branch
without test isolation.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` after #10433.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source.
## What Changed
- Isolated `XAI_API_KEY` with save, delete, set, and restore logic
around both billing assertions.
- Gave the subscription and API billing checks separate run ids and temp
roots.
## Verification
- `XAI_API_KEY=ambient-test-key corepack pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/execute.test.ts`
- `corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-grok-local typecheck`
## Risks
Low risk. This changes test setup only. It does not change Grok local
adapter runtime behavior.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server provides issue APIs and the database stores issue child
rows
> - The issue delete endpoint removes the parent issue before dependent
rows
> - Several issue foreign keys had no delete policy, so PostgreSQL

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

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

with tool use and code execution. Used for the original codebase
investigation, the implementation, and the tests. The rebase, migration
renumber, mission-only contract, and the three P1 fixes were done with
Claude Opus 4.8 (`claude-opus-4-8`), extended thinking, with tool use
and code execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The `@paperclipai/db` package owns the database schema and its
migrations
> - Some migration tests start an embedded Postgres server and replay a
migration against it
> - An embedded Postgres server needs 7 to 12 seconds to start on a CI
runner
> - Vitest stops a test after 5 seconds unless the test sets its own
timeout

they assert anything

they did not change
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists for this. The problem follows.
**What happened?**
The test `packages/db/src/company-secret-proposals-migration.test.ts`
fails on CI. The error is `Test timed out in 5000ms`. The test never
reaches its assertions. The suite reports `1 failed | 104 passed`.
The failure is not caused by the branch under test. It appeared on three
different branches in a few hours:
| Run | Head | Failing jobs |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 31630781317 | `95622fa3` | `General tests (workspaces-b)`, `verify`,
`e2e shard (2/3)`, `e2e` |
| 31652020976 | `feba90c9` | `General tests (workspaces-b)`, `verify`,
`e2e shard (3/3)`, `e2e` |
| 31651467721 | `f2115207` | `General tests (workspaces-a (1/2))`,
`verify` |
The `verify` job reads the result of the general tests. One timeout
therefore turns into two red checks. A reviewer sees two failures and
reads them as a regression.
**Expected behavior**
The test starts an embedded Postgres server, replays the migration, and
asserts the schema. It must pass on a normal CI runner.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open any pull request against `master`.
2. Wait for the job `General tests (workspaces-b)`.
3. Read the failure. The test times out after 5000 ms.
The failure needs a slow runner. A fast development machine starts
embedded Postgres in less than 5 seconds, so the test passes there.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `a09d7dcc0`.
**Deployment mode**
CI only. GitHub Actions, `ubuntu24` runner image.
## What Changed
- `packages/db/src/company-secret-proposals-migration.test.ts` — the
test now uses a 30 second timeout. The migration suites in this package
already use 20 to 60 seconds. 30 seconds is the most common value.
- `packages/db/src/status-card-migrations.test.ts` — the same change.
This test has the same defect. It does not fail yet because it replays
fewer statements. A fix to only one test moves the problem instead of
removing it.
- Both tests get a comment. The comment tells the next author why the 5
second default is too short.
These two tests were the only embedded-Postgres migration tests in the
package without a timeout.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm vitest run src/company-secret-proposals-migration.test.ts
src/status-card-migrations.test.ts` in `packages/db`. Both tests pass.
- These suites skip themselves when the Postgres binaries are absent. A
pass alone therefore proves nothing. Run the command with
`--reporter=verbose`. The output contains Postgres `NOTICE` messages,
for example `relation "status_cards" already exists, skipping`. These
messages prove the tests ran real SQL.
- Run the same command with `--testTimeout=1`. Both tests still pass.
This proves the per-test timeout overrides the global timeout. Before
this change, the same command fails immediately.
- All CI jobs on this pull request pass. The job `General tests
(workspaces-b)` passes. This job failed on the three runs listed above.
Not done: no attempt to reproduce the timeout on a development machine.
A fast machine starts embedded Postgres in less than 5 seconds, so the
failure does not occur there.
## Risks
Low risk. The change adds two timeout arguments to tests. It changes no
source code, no schema, and no dependency.
A longer timeout cannot hide a regression here. The tests assert the
same conditions as before. A migration that truly hangs now fails after
30 seconds. Before, it failed after 5 seconds with a message that
pointed at the wrong cause.
The `e2e` failures on the runs above have a different cause. The spec
`mcp-user-stories.spec.ts › US-9` fails with `502 — fetch failed` and
`fetch failed: bad port`. These errors come from MCP tool-connection
health checks. The failures hit different shards on different runs. This
pull request does not change that behavior. `e2e shard (2/3)` passes
here, which supports the view that those failures are unstable
infrastructure.
To revert, remove the two timeout arguments.
## Model Used
Claude Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5`), through Claude Code. Extended thinking
enabled. Tool use enabled: file read and edit, shell command execution
for the local test runs, and the GitHub CLI to read the failing CI logs.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents run through adapters; the `opencode-local` adapter shells out
to the OpenCode CLI and, before each run, does a pre-flight `opencode
models` **availability probe** to fail fast on a misconfigured
`provider/model`.
> - That probe was written to **throw on any probe failure** — a
timeout, a non-zero exit, or a transient `Unexpected error` from the CLI
— which aborts the whole heartbeat run.
> - In practice the CLI probe fails transiently (provider hiccup, cold
cache, momentary CLI error). When that happens *after* the agent has
already done its work, the run dies before its terminal disposition is
written, so the platform reopens the issue and re-runs it — a spurious
crash/re-run loop that affects every agent on the OpenCode adapter.
> - This PR makes the probe **non-fatal when it cannot run**: it warns
and proceeds with the configured model, letting the real invocation be
authoritative.
> - It deliberately **keeps** the genuine guard: when the probe
*succeeds* and the configured model is absent from a non-empty list, it
still throws (this is what catches misconfigured slugs).
> - The benefit is that a best-effort pre-flight check can no longer
take down an otherwise-healthy run, while the useful misconfiguration
guard is retained.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists; describing inline (bug).
**What happened:** an OpenCode-adapter agent run terminated at the
adapter level with `` `opencode models` failed: Unexpected error ``. The
failure landed after the agent had produced its work, so the
terminal-status update never applied and the run was reopened and
re-executed.
**Expected:** a transient failure of the `opencode models` availability
*probe* should not abort the run — the probe is a best-effort pre-flight
guard, not a gate.
**Actual:** the probe threw on timeout / non-zero exit / empty output,
aborting the run and discarding the completed work + disposition.
**Scope:** both the local (`models.ts`) and remote/SSH (`execute.ts`)
probe paths; affects any agent on the `opencode_local` adapter.
Related PRs (context / prior art):
- Refs #5119 — added the remote execution-target model-probe validation
this PR softens.
- Refs #3291 — closed prior attempt to make the `opencode_local` model
probe non-blocking (at agent-create time; different entry point).
- Refs #8014 — related open work raising the probe timeout (20s → 60s);
complementary, not overlapping.
## What Changed
- `models.ts` (`ensureOpenCodeModelConfiguredAndAvailable`): if
discovery throws (probe can't run) or returns an empty list, **warn and
proceed** with the configured model instead of throwing. The "model
present in a non-empty list" check is unchanged and still throws when
the configured model is genuinely absent.
- `execute.ts` (`ensureRemoteOpenCodeModelConfiguredAndAvailable`):
remote probe **timeout / non-zero exit / empty output** now warn and
return (proceed) instead of throwing. The remote model-absent guard
still throws.
- `models.test.ts`: the local "discovery cannot run" case now asserts
the probe **proceeds** with the configured model (was: asserts it
rejects).
- `execute.test.ts`: added remote regression tests — non-zero exit,
timeout, and empty output all proceed; a successful probe missing the
configured model still rejects.
## Verification
```bash
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-opencode-local typecheck # clean
# opencode-local server suite (default 5s per-test timeout is too tight for the
# heavy SSH tests on some machines; use a realistic timeout):
node node_modules/.pnpm/vitest@*/node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run \
packages/adapters/opencode-local/src/server/models.test.ts \
packages/adapters/opencode-local/src/server/execute.test.ts \
packages/adapters/opencode-local/src/server/execute.remote.test.ts \
--testTimeout=45000
```
Result: typecheck clean; all opencode-local server tests pass, including
the new remote fail-open tests and the retained "model unavailable on
the remote target" guard test.
## Risks
- **Fail-open behavior (intentional).** When the probe can't run, a
genuinely misconfigured model is no longer caught at pre-flight — it
surfaces at the real invocation instead. This is the accepted tradeoff:
the probe is best-effort, and the real invocation is authoritative. The
high-value guard (probe succeeds + model absent from a non-empty list)
is retained, so the common misconfiguration — a bad `provider/model`
slug — is still caught.
- No API, schema, or migration changes. Behavior change is confined to
the two probe helpers. Low risk overall.
## Model Used
Anthropic **Claude Opus 4.8** (`claude-opus-4-8`), used via Claude Code
with agentic tool use (repo search, file editing, shell/code execution)
and extended reasoning. Used to diagnose the crash, implement the fix,
and write the tests; the change was reviewed before submission.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents can execute in remote sandboxes, where a callback bridge
relays in-sandbox Paperclip API calls back to the host server process
> - The bridge worker resolves its forward target from
PAPERCLIP_RUNTIME_API_URL / PAPERCLIP_API_URL, which now prefer a
configured public base URL and therefore mean "the origin browsers and
external agents use"
> - The bridge worker runs inside the same process that serves the API,
so forwarding through the public origin routes an in-process loopback
hop through the network edge
> - On a deployment whose public origin sits behind a session-gated edge
proxy, every forwarded agent API call is rejected at the edge, so agents
in sandboxes cannot read their identity, comment, or hire
> - This pull request resolves the bridge forward target from the
explicit hostApiUrl override or the local listen host and port only,
never the public URL exports
> - The benefit is that sandbox agent API calls keep working regardless
of how the public base URL is configured or gated
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue. Describing in-PR following the bug report template:
**What happened?**
On a cloud deployment with a session-gated public edge, setting a public
base URL (PAPERCLIP_PUBLIC_URL) caused every in-sandbox agent API call
through the sandbox callback bridge to fail with `403 text/plain "Access
denied"` from the edge proxy. With PAPERCLIP_BRIDGE_DEBUG enabled, the
bridge logs show the forward target is the public origin, and every
proxied request (for example `GET /api/agents/me`) returns the edge
proxy's 403 instead of reaching the API.
**Expected behavior**
The bridge worker runs in the same server process that serves the API,
so forwarded calls should target the local listen origin and succeed
regardless of how the public origin is configured or gated.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the server with a public base URL configured, fronted by a proxy
that requires a browser session on API routes.
2. Start a sandbox-executed agent run (any adapter using the sandbox
callback bridge).
3. Observe every in-sandbox call to the Paperclip API fail with the
proxy's 403; with PAPERCLIP_BRIDGE_DEBUG the forward URL is the public
origin.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Current `master`.
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted server behind a reverse proxy.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
All sandbox-executed adapters (the bridge is adapter-agnostic).
## What Changed
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target.ts`:
`startAdapterExecutionTargetPaperclipBridge` now resolves its forward
target as `input.hostApiUrl?.trim() || resolveDefaultPaperclipApiUrl()`.
It no longer consults `PAPERCLIP_RUNTIME_API_URL` / `PAPERCLIP_API_URL`,
which now describe the public origin for browsers and external agents,
exactly the wrong target for an in-process loopback hop.
`resolveDefaultPaperclipApiUrl()` builds
`http://<PAPERCLIP_LISTEN_HOST>:<PAPERCLIP_LISTEN_PORT>` (exported by
server boot before any run executes) and maps wildcard listen hosts to
the loopback address of the same family (`0.0.0.0` to `127.0.0.1`, `::`
to `[::1]`), so the forward target always matches the address family the
server is bound to. `input.hostApiUrl` remains the explicit override
seam. A comment documents the reasoning.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target-sandbox.test.ts`: two new
tests. One sets both public URL env vars to an unreachable public https
origin and asserts the bridge forwards to the local listen origin (fails
before this fix with a 502 because the worker targets the public
origin). One asserts an explicit `hostApiUrl` input still overrides
everything.
- The acpx-engine bridge start
(`packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.ts`) passes no
`hostApiUrl` and goes through the same resolution site, so it is covered
by the same fix. The sandbox-facing env builder in `server-utils.ts` is
intentionally untouched; the bridge env overrides `PAPERCLIP_API_URL`
inside the sandbox separately.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target-sandbox.test.ts` (28 tests
pass; the new local-origin test fails without the fix)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck` (clean)
- Full adapter-utils suite run; the only failures are pre-existing
environment-dependent tests (bubblewrap and shallow-clone tests on
macOS) identical on a clean `master` checkout
## Risks
- Low risk. Deployments where the bridge previously worked did so
precisely because the forward target already resolved to the local
origin (no public URL configured, so the chain fell through to the same
`resolveDefaultPaperclipApiUrl()` result). The only behavioral shift is
for deployments with a public URL configured, where forwarding through
the edge was either wasteful (an unnecessary network round trip) or
broken (session-gated edge). The explicit `hostApiUrl` override seam is
preserved for callers that need a nonlocal target.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents execute through adapters; the codex_local adapter runs the
Codex CLI and reports each run's outcome, including an error message
when the CLI exits nonzero
> - When no error can be parsed from the CLI's JSONL output, `toResult`
in `packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/execute.ts` falls back to
the first non-empty stderr line as the run error
> - The adapter itself passes the approvals-bypass flag, so the CLI's
first stderr line is always the benign startup warning "YOLO mode is
enabled. All tool calls will be automatically approved."
> - Failed runs therefore record that warning as their error, hiding the
real cause (for example an OpenAI API error further down in stderr) and
making failures hard to diagnose from the run record
> - This pull request derives the fallback error from the first
meaningful stderr line, skipping a conservative set of known benign
lines, and keeps the existing behavior when every line is benign
> - The benefit is that failed Codex runs surface the actual failure
reason instead of a harmless startup warning, without ever producing an
emptier message than before
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists for the codex_local case. The same bug class was
fixed for gemini-local in Refs #5099 and Refs #3476; this PR applies the
equivalent fix to codex_local.
**What happened?**
On a multi-tenant cloud deployment of Paperclip, several codex_local
runs failed and their run records showed `error_code=adapter_failed`
with the error text "YOLO mode is enabled. All tool calls will be
automatically approved." That is a benign Codex CLI startup warning,
printed on every run because the adapter passes the approvals-bypass
flag itself. The real failure (an OpenAI API error printed later in
stderr) was never surfaced.
**Expected behavior**
When the Codex CLI exits nonzero and no error was parsed from its JSONL
output, the run error should be the first stderr line that actually
explains the failure, not a startup warning the adapter itself provoked.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Configure a codex_local agent and make the underlying Codex CLI
invocation fail after startup (for example, configure a model id the
active credentials cannot use).
2. Run the agent so the CLI exits nonzero with no parsed JSONL error.
3. Inspect the run's error message: it shows the YOLO approvals warning
(the first stderr line) instead of the real error printed further down
in stderr.
## What Changed
- Added `firstMeaningfulStderrLine` next to `firstNonEmptyLine` in
`packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/execute.ts`, with a
conservative benign-line predicate covering the YOLO approvals warning
and `[paperclip] ...` diagnostic lines the adapter injected (for example
ACP fallback notes).
- Used it only in the `toResult` fallback error derivation. If every
stderr line is benign, the existing chain still applies (first non-empty
line, then `Codex exited with code N`), so the message never gets
emptier than today. Logging is unchanged.
- Added
`packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/execute.stderr-error.test.ts`:
four end-to-end cases through `execute()` with a mocked CLI process,
plus unit coverage for the new helper. Tests were written first and
confirmed failing before the fix.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/execute.stderr-error.test.ts`
(7 tests pass; 5 failed before the fix as expected)
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/adapters/codex-local` (21 files, 188
tests pass)
- `pnpm run typecheck` in `packages/adapters/codex-local` (clean)
## Risks
Low risk. Only the derived fallback `errorMessage` changes, and only
when a benign line would otherwise have been picked; parsed JSONL
errors, logging, retry/quota/auth classification inputs, and the
empty-stderr exit-code fallback are untouched. The benign-line list is
deliberately conservative (exact prefixes) so real errors are never
skipped.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No directly matching public issue or PR found.
Bug description:
- **Problem:** `claude_local` can fail its local probe/execution path
when Paperclip runs from a root-owned local container/runtime because
Claude Code refuses `--dangerously-skip-permissions` under root/sudo.
- **Actual behavior:** The adapter may fail immediately with Claude's
root/sudo guard before validating the real Claude runtime/auth state.
- **Expected behavior:** Local root processes should use the same
explicit allowlist strategy Paperclip already uses for remote targets,
while local non-root behavior remains unchanged.
- **Environment:** Local/self-hosted Docker or container-style Paperclip
runtime where the app process UID is `0`.
Related but different: #4926 covers MCP config propagation for the
Claude local adapter, not the root/sudo permission flag behavior fixed
here.
## What Changed
- Added root-aware permission argument selection for the Claude local
adapter.
- Preserved current local non-root behavior:
`--dangerously-skip-permissions` is still used when allowed.
- Preserved current remote behavior: remote targets continue using
explicit `--allowedTools`.
- Changed local root behavior to use the explicit `--allowedTools` list
instead of `--dangerously-skip-permissions`.
- Threaded process UID awareness through Claude local probe and
execution paths.
- Added unit coverage for skip-disabled, remote, local non-root, local
root, and UID-unavailable behavior.
## Verification
```sh
./node_modules/.bin/vitest run --config g15-vitest-claude-local.config.mjs \
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/permissions.test.ts
```
Result:
```text
1 file passed
8 tests passed
```
```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local typecheck
```
Result:
```text
@paperclipai/adapter-claude-local typecheck passed
```
Additional local smoke:
- Ran a disposable root-container Claude adapter diagnostic against this
patch.
- The diagnostic no longer fails with Claude's root/sudo
`--dangerously-skip-permissions` error.
- It proceeds to the actual environment-specific Claude auth/runtime
result.
- No credentials, tokens, hostnames, private paths, or internal
Paperclip issue references are included in this PR.
Public duplicate checks performed:
```sh
gh pr list --repo paperclipai/paperclip --state open --search 'claude local root permissions dangerously skip permissions allowedTools'
gh issue list --repo paperclipai/paperclip --state open --search 'claude local root permissions dangerously skip permissions allowedTools'
```
## Risks
Low-to-medium risk adapter behavior change:
- Local root Claude runs will now use explicit `--allowedTools` rather
than broad skip-permissions behavior.
- That is intentionally safer, but an environment depending on broader
implicit tool access under root may now need the adapter allowlist to
include any required tools.
- Local non-root behavior is unchanged.
- Remote behavior is unchanged.
- No database migrations, API contract changes, or UI changes.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - It runs each agent in a remote sandbox and emits OpenTelemetry spans
for the sandbox bring-up and the run.
> - A real trace showed two gaps. `stage.sync` had about 3 seconds of
unattributed host work before its `pack` span. The persistent agent
process showed a `sandbox.exec` span that outlived its parent by about
50 seconds.
> - The gaps hide real cost and make the trace read as a sequencing bug,
so an operator cannot see where startup time goes.
> - This pull request wraps the two pre-`pack` host steps in their own
spans. It also homes the long-lived process in a run-scoped
`sandbox.agentProcess` span.
> - The benefit is that startup time is fully attributed and the process
reads as a resource that overlaps the turn, not a child that outlives
its parent.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists. This is an enhancement to existing telemetry. It
is described inline below, following
`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/enhancement.yml`. Prior related work: the merged
PR #10999 added the run-time wrapper spans and the telemetry
data-contract section this PR extends.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The sandbox bring-up and run OpenTelemetry trace. It closes two
attribution gaps in that trace.
**Subsystem affected**
Observability for sandbox execution. The code lives in
`packages/adapter-utils`. The span contract lives in
`packages/shared/src/telemetry`.
**Current behavior**
`stage.sync` opens a `pack` span, but the git enumeration and the
baseline content-hash walk that run before `pack` have no span, so about
3 seconds read as a gap. On the streamed process-session path the agent
process launches fire-and-forget inside the ~2.3 second
`bridge.process-session` bring-up step, so its `sandbox.exec` span
parents to that step and then runs about 50 seconds. The child dangles
past its parent and overlaps `agent.turn`.
**Proposed behavior**
Wrap the two pre-`pack` host operations in `snapshot.git` and
`snapshot.baseline` spans under `stage.sync`. Wrap the streamed launch
in a run-scoped `sandbox.agentProcess` span that parents to the live run
root (`task.run` at launch).
**Reason and benefit**
Startup time is fully attributed. The long-lived process reads as a
resource that overlaps the sibling `agent.turn`, not a mis-parented
child.
**Breaking changes**
None. The spans are opt-in and export only when an OTLP endpoint is
configured. The span seam is a no-op when no runner is injected. No
first-party telemetry event changes.
## What Changed
- `sandbox-managed-runtime.ts`: add `snapshot.git` and
`snapshot.baseline` spans around the git enumeration and the baseline
content-hash walk, nested under `stage.sync`, through a shared
`runStepSpan` helper that `pack` now also uses.
- `execution-target.ts`: wrap the fire-and-forget streamed launch in a
run-rooted `sandbox.agentProcess` span, so it parents to the live run
root and holds the inner `sandbox.exec`. The `.then`/`.catch` chain
became try/catch inside the span callback, with identical
frame-ingestion behavior.
- `packages/shared/src/telemetry/README.md`: update the span table and
the parenting prose. Add `snapshot.git`, `snapshot.baseline`, `pack`,
and `sandbox.agentProcess`, and document the intended
`sandbox.agentProcess` / `agent.turn` overlap.
- Tests: update the executor span-tree test (`childNames` and parent
assertions), update the `sandbox-managed-runtime` span-set and nesting
tests, and add two `execution-target-sandbox` tests (the launch opens
`sandbox.agentProcess`; it parents to the run root, not the bring-up
step).
## Verification
- Run `npx vitest run` on the three affected test files. Result: 174
tests pass. This includes the updated executor span-tree test and the
new `sandbox.agentProcess` open and parenting tests.
- Run `tsc --noEmit` in `packages/adapter-utils`. Result: no errors in
the changed source or test files.
- The full 37-test streamed process-session suite passes unchanged. This
confirms the try/catch restructure preserves frame delivery and
exit/error behavior.
- Pre-existing and unrelated to this PR (present on `master`): `tsc`
errors in `execute.ts` / `execute.test.ts` /
`remote-spawn-smoke.test.ts` (`onAgentStderr` / `spawnCwd`), and a
`check:forbidden-tokens` failure from internal `PAP-###` ids in
`ui/src/components/IssueRecoveryActionCard.test.tsx`. This PR does not
touch those files, and its own diff is token-clean.
## Risks
Low. The change adds instrumentation on the opt-in span path and does
not change control flow on the default path. The one production
restructure is the streamed launch, which stays fire-and-forget, so
bring-up does not block on it. Only the streamed path gains
`sandbox.agentProcess`; the legacy poll path launches the process
detached and has no host-side long-lived span to home.
## Model Used
Anthropic Claude Opus 4.8 (`claude-opus-4-8`), about 200K-token context,
agentic tool use through Claude Code. The trace was reviewed through the
Honeycomb MCP. The code was written and tested with the model.

## Thinking Path

work

login path

that sandbox

behind an injectable transport

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Agent or provider**
Claude Code setup-token login for sandbox agents.
**Why this adapter is useful**
Sandbox agents need a supported way to sign in without host credentials.
An authorized owner completes the browser step and receives the token
one time.
**How the agent is invoked**
When a sandbox provider binds the injectable transport, the server
starts `claude setup-token` through a sandbox pseudo-terminal, sends the
browser code to the matched prompt, and returns the token through the
guarded session route. The default build does not bind the transport. In
that state the start route fails closed with a fixed no-secret `503`. It
does not start a process and it does not hold a sandbox lease.
**Additional context**
The transport is injectable, so each sandbox provider binds its own
pseudo-terminal. This pull request adds the Daytona transport but does
not bind it in the production server. A production wiring needs a lease
manager, a live pseudo-terminal factory, a durable token store, and its
own security review. The route keeps secrets out of logs, activity
details, errors, telemetry, and non-owner responses.
## What Changed
- Add strict parsers for the setup-token URL, the prompt, and the
success token.
- Add a login runner that drives the `claude setup-token` command
through a pseudo-terminal.
- Add the Daytona pseudo-terminal transport and the sandbox plugin
wiring.
- Add a company-scoped, owner-bound login session service with rate
limits, a reaper, cleanup, and one-time token delivery.
- Add the guarded session routes at
`/agents/:id/setup-token-login-sessions/*` behind an injectable
transport. The routes become the live login path only when a provider
binds the transport.
- Keep the start route fail-closed in the default build. It returns a
fixed no-secret `503` and it does not bind `setupTokenLogin`.
- Keep the existing host route `POST /agents/:id/claude-login` in place.
This pull request does not replace it.
- Keep confidential responses behind a fail-closed TLS transport guard
with `Cache-Control: no-store`, and extend redaction for the new fields.
- Export the parser and the runner from the Claude local server entry,
and document the new session routes in the OpenAPI spec.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run setup-token-route
setup-token-session`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local exec vitest run`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server run typecheck`
- Confirm that the pull request checks pass on GitHub.
## Risks
- Low user-facing risk on merge. The default build does not bind the
transport, so the production start route stays fail-closed with a `503`.
The merge does not change the production login behavior.
- When a provider later binds the transport, the flow starts a live
sandbox process and holds a short-lived in-memory secret. Cleanup must
stop the child before it releases the sandbox lease.
- The transport guard fails closed when the deployment does not provide
a trusted TLS path. A wrong proxy allowlist can block a valid request.
- The production wiring is out of scope. It needs a lease manager, a
live pseudo-terminal factory, a durable token store, and its own
security review before the server binds `setupTokenLogin`.
## Model Used
Anthropic Claude Opus 4.8 assisted the implementation. It used extended
reasoning, code execution, repository tool use, and a 200,000-token
context window.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandbox providers (Daytona, Kubernetes) sync run results back to the
host with a sandbox-authored tarball
> - Before extraction, a confinement check parses the host `tar -tvf`
listing and fails closed on unparseable lines
> - The parser only understands the GNU tar listing dialect; macOS ships
bsdtar, whose ls-style listing never matches
> - Every sandbox syncOut on a macOS host therefore aborts with
"refusing tarball with an unparseable entry listing", and the run fails
at copy-back
> - This pull request teaches the parser both dialects while keeping the
fail-closed and traversal guarantees
> - The benefit is that Daytona and Kubernetes sandbox runs work on
macOS hosts, with no behavior change on Linux
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue. Bug description:
**What happened?**
On a macOS host, every Daytona sandbox run fails at syncOut. The adapter
reports: `Daytona syncOut refusing tarball with an unparseable entry
listing: -rw-r--r-- 0 daytona daytona 7560 Aug 11 21:43 AGENTS.md`. The
Kubernetes provider has the same parser and fails the same way.
**Expected behavior**
The confinement check accepts a well-formed listing from the host tar,
whichever dialect the host tar emits. It still rejects members that
escape the extraction directory, and it still fails closed on lines it
cannot parse.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run Paperclip on macOS (system tar is bsdtar).
2. Configure an agent with the Daytona sandbox provider.
3. Trigger any run that syncs files back from the sandbox.
4. The run fails at syncOut with the unparseable-entry-listing error,
because bsdtar prints `<perms> <links> <user> <group> <size> <Mon> <day>
<time|year> <name>` while the parser expects the GNU `<perms>
<owner>/<group> <size> <date> <time> <name>` shape.
**Operating system**
macOS (bsdtar 3.5.3). Linux hosts with GNU tar are unaffected.
## What Changed
- Extracted the listing-line parse in both providers' `file-sync.ts`
into an exported `parseTarVerboseListingLine` that accepts the
GNU/busybox dialect and the bsdtar (libarchive) dialect.
- The GNU shape now requires the slash-joined `<owner>/<group>` field.
This keeps the two shapes mutually exclusive. Without it, a bsdtar line
with numeric uid/gid satisfies the loose GNU pattern shifted by one
field, which would hide a leading `../` from the traversal check.
- Unparseable lines still fail closed. This includes device-node
entries, whose size column is `major,minor` in both dialects.
- Made the path-traversal fixture in the Daytona suite portable: GNU
spells member renaming `--transform`, bsdtar spells it `-s`.
- Added a Daytona test that refuses a sandbox-authored tarball carrying
a symlink whose target escapes the extraction dir.
- Added parser unit tests for both dialects (file, dir, symlink,
hardlink, numeric owner, year-form dates, fail-closed lines) to both
providers' suites.
## Verification
- `pnpm test` in `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona`: 136/136
pass on a macOS host. On unpatched `master` the round-trip test fails
there with the unparseable-entry-listing error.
- `pnpm test` in `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/kubernetes`: the
new parser tests pass; no new failures against the `master` baseline on
the same host.
- `pnpm typecheck` passes in both packages.
- CI runs the same suites on Linux/GNU tar and proves the GNU path is
unchanged.
## Risks
- Low risk. The GNU pattern is one token stricter (`<owner>/<group>`
must contain `/`). GNU and busybox tar always print the slash-joined
owner field, so accepted GNU listings are unchanged.
- The bsdtar branch only widens acceptance on hosts that were failing
100% of syncOuts before, so no working deployment changes behavior.
- The check still fails closed on anything neither pattern matches.

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

> - Paperclip stores its state in a Postgres database, managed in
`packages/db`.
> - The schema uses Drizzle. `drizzle-kit` writes a full-schema snapshot

Git still counts every snapshot line, so a PR that adds one migration
shows a ~39k-line badge (two migrations show ~78k). PR #11237 shows
+84,665 for this reason.
> - This pull request adds `-diff` to the same files, so git treats them
as binary and their lines leave the +/- count.
> - The benefit is a pull request badge that reflects the real code
change, not generated snapshot noise.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue. This is a small follow-up to merged PR #11240.
Description follows the enhancement template:
**Problem / Motivation**
PR #11240 marked `packages/db/src/migrations/meta/**` as
`linguist-generated=true`. That attribute collapses the diff in the
Files-changed view and removes the files from language stats, but it
does not remove their lines from the PR additions/deletions badge. Each
Drizzle snapshot is a full copy of the schema (~39k lines), so any PR
that adds a migration still shows a huge line count. PR #11237 shows
+84,665, of which ~78k are two generated snapshots.
**Proposed Solution**
Add `-diff` to the same glob. Git then treats the snapshots as binary.
`git diff --numstat` reports `-` for these files, so their lines leave
the +/- badge and GitHub shows "Binary file not shown" in place of the
full JSON.
**Alternatives Considered**
- Keep only `linguist-generated`: leaves the misleading ~39k/78k badge
on every migration PR.
- Use the `binary` macro (`-diff -merge -text`): also disables EOL
normalization. This repo has open CRLF/LF work, so `-text` is left unset
on purpose.
## What Changed
- Added `-diff` to `src/migrations/meta/**` in
`packages/db/.gitattributes`.
- Kept `linguist-generated=true` (language stats) and `-merge` (no
auto-merge of generated snapshots).
- Left `-text` unset on purpose, so end-of-line normalization stays
intact.
- Left the `.sql` migration files untouched, so their diffs stay visible
for review.
## Verification
Check the attributes and confirm the snapshot is now treated as binary:
```
git check-attr linguist-generated diff merge -- \
packages/db/src/migrations/meta/0031_snapshot.json \
packages/db/src/migrations/0009_fast_jackal.sql
git diff --numstat origin/master...origin/feat/adapter-sandbox-login -- \
packages/db/src/migrations/meta/0214_snapshot.json
```
Expected:
```
packages/db/src/migrations/meta/0031_snapshot.json: linguist-generated: true
packages/db/src/migrations/meta/0031_snapshot.json: diff: unset
packages/db/src/migrations/meta/0031_snapshot.json: merge: unset
packages/db/src/migrations/0009_fast_jackal.sql: linguist-generated: unspecified
packages/db/src/migrations/0009_fast_jackal.sql: diff: unspecified
packages/db/src/migrations/0009_fast_jackal.sql: merge: unspecified
- - packages/db/src/migrations/meta/0214_snapshot.json
```
The snapshot reports `-` in numstat (binary, not counted). The `.sql`
migration keeps normal diff behavior. GitHub reads the rule from the PR
tree, so the badge drops on the next PR that touches these files.
## Risks
Low risk. The change only affects how git and GitHub render and count
generated files. It does not touch application code, the schema, or any
migration.
- With `-diff`, GitHub and local `git diff` no longer show a text diff
for a snapshot. This is intended; the files are generated and are not
reviewed by hand. The raw file is still viewable.
- `-text` is left unset, so this change does not affect the CRLF/LF
handling that other PRs (for example #8922) address.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Database migrations are generated by drizzle-kit, which reads the
schema from the db package's built `dist/schema/*.js`
> - `tsc` never deletes stale outputs, so a long-lived checkout keeps
compiled schema files whose sources were deleted long ago
> - A `generate` run in such a checkout sees those ghost tables and
sweeps phantom `CREATE TABLE` statements into an unrelated migration
> - This pull request makes `generate` clean `dist` before building, so
drizzle always diffs against exactly the current schema sources
> - The benefit is that no contributor can accidentally resurrect
deleted tables inside a new migration
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Running `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db generate` in a months-old
checkout produced a migration re-creating `cloud_upstream_connections`,
`cloud_upstream_runs`, and `company_secret_pools` — tables whose schema
sources were deleted in #10507. The compiled copies were still in
`dist/schema/`, and `drizzle.config.ts` reads the schema from `dist`, so
drizzle treated them as new tables missing from the snapshot.
**Expected behavior**
`generate` diffs the current schema sources only; deleted tables can
never reappear in a generated migration.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Build the db package, then delete a schema source file without
cleaning `dist`.
2. Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db generate`.
3. The generated migration re-creates the deleted table.
## What Changed
- `packages/db/package.json`: the `generate` script runs `pnpm run
clean` before `tsc`, so the drizzle-kit input is always a fresh build of
the current sources.
## Verification
- In a checkout carrying stale `dist/schema/cloud_upstreams.js` /
`company_secret_pools.js` artifacts, `generate` produced a phantom
migration before this change; after a clean build it reports "No schema
changes, nothing to migrate". With this change the clean happens inside
`generate` itself.
## Risks
- Low risk: `generate` is a developer-only script; the change only adds
the existing `clean` step ahead of the existing build, at the cost of a
full rebuild per generate.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Cost/usage tracking is core to that: the dashboard shows per-agent
spend so a team can see what their AI workforce is costing them
> - The `grok_local` adapter (xAI's Grok Build CLI) is a newer adapter
than `claude_local`/`codex_local`, and its usage/cost wiring was left
incomplete
> - Every `grok_local` run persists
`usage.inputTokens/outputTokens/cachedInputTokens = 0` and `costUsd =
null` in `heartbeat_runs`, unconditionally, even though the underlying
`grok` CLI reports real, non-zero token counts and cost per turn in its
own JSON stream
> - This pull request wires the parser to actually read
`usage`/`total_cost_usd` from the CLI's terminal `end` event, threads
those values into the adapter's execution result, and marks them
`usageBasis: "per_run"` so the heartbeat service doesn't incorrectly
delta them against a prior run on a resumed session (matching how
`claude_local`/`codex_local` already do this)
> - The benefit is accurate cost/usage visibility for any self-hosted
Paperclip instance running Grok Build agents, instead of a dashboard
that always reads zero
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes: #10432
## What Changed
- `packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/parse.ts`: `parseGrokJsonl()`
now reads `usage.input_tokens` / `usage.output_tokens` /
`usage.cache_read_input_tokens` / `total_cost_usd` from the terminal
`end` event and returns them on `ParsedGrokJsonl` (previously discarded
entirely).
- `packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/execute.ts`: `toResult()` now
populates `usage.inputTokens/outputTokens/cachedInputTokens` from the
parsed values instead of hardcoded `0`, sets `usageBasis: "per_run"`
(each `--single` invocation reports usage for just that process, not a
running session total), and surfaces `costUsd` only when `billingType
=== "api"` (metered) — subscription/OAuth billing has no marginal dollar
cost, so it stays `null` there, but token counts are populated for both
billing types since usage visibility is useful regardless of billing
model.
- `packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/parse.test.ts`: added a test
asserting usage/cost extraction from a representative `end` event
payload, and updated the existing exact-equality test for the new
fields.
- `packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/execute.test.ts`: added a
test covering both subscription billing (tokens populated, `costUsd:
null`) and API-key billing (tokens populated, real `costUsd`), and
asserting `usageBasis: "per_run"` in both cases.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/parse.test.ts
packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/execute.test.ts` — 9/9 passed
- `tsc --noEmit` on the `grok-local` package — clean
- Verified against a real self-hosted Paperclip instance running `grok`
CLI `0.2.112` with SuperGrok subscription (OAuth) auth: confirmed the
raw CLI stream reports real `usage`/`total_cost_usd` (e.g.
`"usage":{"input_tokens":21560,...},"total_cost_usd":0.0564448`) that
was previously discarded before ever reaching
`heartbeat_runs.usage_json`, which always showed all-zero tokens
regardless of real usage.
## Risks
- Low risk, additive change scoped entirely to the `grok_local`
adapter's usage/cost reporting path — no change to control flow, session
handling, or process execution.
- `usageBasis: "per_run"` mirrors the existing, already-tested pattern
in `claude_local`/`codex_local` execute paths, so the heartbeat
service's per-run vs. session-cumulative delta logic is exercised the
same way.
- `costUsd` is intentionally left `null` for subscription/OAuth billing
(no behavior change there beyond now-populated token counts) to avoid
implying a dollar cost that doesn't exist for flat-rate billing.
## Model Used
Claude Sonnet 5 (`claude-sonnet-5`), via Claude Code, no extended
thinking. Root cause was found by comparing real `grok` CLI JSON stream
output (captured directly from a live invocation) against the persisted
`heartbeat_runs.usage_json` row for the same run on a self-hosted
instance, then reading `parse.ts`/`execute.ts` source to confirm the
hardcoded zero values.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip stores its state in a Postgres database, managed in
`packages/db`.
> - The schema uses Drizzle. `drizzle-kit` writes a full-schema snapshot
to `packages/db/src/migrations/meta/` for every migration.
> - Each snapshot is a large generated JSON file. One snapshot is over
200 KB.
> - GitHub shows these files as 30k+ line diffs in a pull request. The
diffs add no review value, because a human never edits the files.
> - The files also merge badly. `drizzle-kit` computes the `id`/`prevId`
chain and the full schema state, so a line-level merge of two snapshots
produces a file that no real `generate` run creates.
> - This pull request adds a `.gitattributes` file that marks the
snapshot directory as generated and blocks its auto-merge.
> - The benefit is clean pull request diffs and a loud conflict that
forces the correct fix when two branches add a migration.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue. This is a small repository-hygiene change.
Description follows the enhancement template:
**Problem / Motivation**
Every migration adds a full-schema snapshot JSON under
`packages/db/src/migrations/meta/`. These files are large and generated.
GitHub renders them as 30k+ line diffs in pull requests, which buries
the real change (the `.sql` migration) in noise. The files also have no
meaningful line-level merge: `drizzle-kit` computes each snapshot's
`id`/`prevId` chain and full schema state.
**Proposed Solution**
Add `packages/db/.gitattributes`:
- `linguist-generated=true` on `src/migrations/meta/**` — GitHub
collapses the diff and drops the files from language stats.
- `-merge` on the same glob — git refuses the line-level merge and
raises a conflict instead of fabricating an invalid snapshot.
**Alternatives Considered**
- `-diff` / `binary`: hides the diff completely and blocks text merge,
but also blocks any local `git diff` and gives a worse conflict
experience. `linguist-generated` keeps the file expandable and
text-based, so it is the lighter option.
- Do nothing: leaves the noisy diffs and the risk of a silent bad merge.
## What Changed
- Added `packages/db/.gitattributes`.
- Marked `src/migrations/meta/**` as `linguist-generated=true` to
collapse the snapshot and journal diffs on GitHub.
- Set `-merge` on the same files so git raises a conflict instead of
auto-merging generated snapshots.
- Left the `.sql` migration files untouched, so their diffs stay visible
for review.
## Verification
Run `git check-attr` against the affected files and a control `.sql`
file:
```
git check-attr linguist-generated merge -- \
packages/db/src/migrations/meta/0031_snapshot.json \
packages/db/src/migrations/meta/_journal.json \
packages/db/src/migrations/0009_fast_jackal.sql
```
Expected output:
```
packages/db/src/migrations/meta/0031_snapshot.json: linguist-generated: true
packages/db/src/migrations/meta/0031_snapshot.json: merge: unset
packages/db/src/migrations/meta/_journal.json: linguist-generated: true
packages/db/src/migrations/meta/_journal.json: merge: unset
packages/db/src/migrations/0009_fast_jackal.sql: linguist-generated: unspecified
packages/db/src/migrations/0009_fast_jackal.sql: merge: unspecified
```
The snapshot and journal files carry both attributes. The `.sql`
migration keeps its normal diff and merge behavior. GitHub applies the
rule from the pull request tree, so the collapse shows on the next pull
request that touches these files.
## Risks
Low risk. The change only affects git and GitHub display and merge
behavior for generated files. It does not touch application code, the
schema, or any migration.
- `-merge` leaves the current-branch version in the working tree on
conflict and marks the file conflicted. It does not insert conflict
markers into the JSON. The correct resolution stays "renumber the later
migration and regenerate", then commit.
- Related open pull requests #879 and #8922 also add `.gitattributes`
rules for migration files, but for CRLF/LF hash mismatches on Windows.
If either lands, a follow-up can merge the rules into one file. There is
no functional overlap with this change.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent adapters use execution targets to exchange input and output
with sandbox processes
> - The sandbox input path can expose partial files, and the poller can
delete or stop on invalid input
> - These timing windows can lose agent input without a clear error
> - This pull request makes host writes atomic and makes the poller
retry invalid files before it drops them
> - The benefit is reliable sandbox input delivery with visible failure
after bounded retries
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Closes#10874
## What Changed
- Decode host input into a temporary file, then rename it onto the final
JSON path.
- Apply the same atomic write pattern to the filesystem client.
- Parse each input file before deletion.
- Retry parse failures and drop a file after the bounded retry limit
with an error event.
- Add regression tests for empty, partial, and permanently malformed
input files.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target-stdin-race.test.ts` passes
5/5 tests.
- Related sandbox callback, execution target, and sandbox execution
suites pass 71/71 tests.
- TypeScript checks pass for the changed files.
- The regression suite fails on the old code and passes on this change.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change affects sandbox input file handling and adds
bounded retry behavior.
- A permanently malformed file now creates an error event after the
retry limit.
> This bug fix does not add a core feature, so a roadmap change is not
needed.
## Model Used
Codex, OpenAI GPT-5, current agent runtime, large context window, tool
use and code review support.

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

thinking and tool use (multi-agent implementation with independent
verification).

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

work.
> - Task comments can contain references to files in project and
execution workspaces.
> - Paperclip detected path-shaped inline code and showed it as an
actionable file chip.

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

## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex with GPT-5. The service did not expose a more specific
model ID or context-window size. The agent used high-reasoning mode,
repository tools, command execution, and test execution.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
An execution workspace detail page read and refreshed the summary slot
for its parent project workspace. Parallel execution workspaces could
show the same status and include issues from each other.
**Expected behavior**
Each execution workspace must have one isolated summary slot. Its
generated snapshot must include only issues assigned to that execution
workspace.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create two execution workspaces under one project workspace.
2. Add different issues to each execution workspace.
3. Generate the summary in the first execution workspace.
4. Open the second execution workspace.
5. Observe that the old implementation could reuse the first summary.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The problem exists on `master` before this pull request.
**Deployment mode**
The issue affects both local trusted and authenticated deployments.
## What Changed
- Added `execution_workspace` to the shared summary-slot scope contract.
- Validated execution-workspace ownership and stored generated summary
issues on the correct execution workspace.
- Limited execution-workspace snapshots to issues with the matching
execution workspace ID.
- Updated the execution workspace page to use its own summary slot.
- Updated Summarizer instructions, routine options, catalog metadata,
documentation, and regression tests.
## Verification
- `NODE_ENV=test pnpm exec vitest run
packages/shared/src/summary-slot.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/summary-slots.test.ts
ui/src/pages/ExecutionWorkspaceDetail.test.tsx` — 30 focused tests
passed; the embedded-Postgres server tests were run outside the
process-restricted sandbox.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/skills-catalog validate` — passed with 17
catalog skills.
- [Latest-head GitHub
Actions](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/31491475405)
— all 22 jobs passed on `beea14cbaf`, including typecheck, build,
server/workspace tests, serialized suites, e2e, canary, and aggregate
verification. One unrelated adapter cleanup test initially hit an
`ENOTEMPTY` temp-directory race; its single permitted rerun passed.
- Greptile — 5/5 confidence on `beea14cbaf`, 12 files reviewed, zero
comments added, and zero unresolved threads.
## Risks
- Low risk. The new scope is additive.
- Existing project and project-workspace summary slots keep their
current keys and behavior.
- A summary generated for an execution workspace now excludes sibling
workspace issues by design.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip connects AI agents to local and remote runtimes.
> - The Codex local adapter needs a safe device-login flow.
> - A future sandbox integration needs strict prompt validation, secret
protection, cleanup, and private credential storage.
> - This pull request adds tested building blocks for that flow.
> - The result gives a later Daytona integration a clear security
boundary.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue covers this change.
**Problem or motivation**
The Codex local adapter has no safe, reusable flow to prove device login
inside an isolated sandbox.
**Proposed solution**
Add parser, runner, credential export, and proof helpers. Validate the
prompt, protect login data, store credentials in a private run-scoped
home, and dispose all sandbox resources.
**Alternatives considered**
Do not connect a production Daytona driver in this change. Use an
injected sandbox driver and focused tests first. This keeps the security
controls testable before live provider integration.
**Roadmap alignment**
The change extends the Codex local adapter. It does not add a core
Paperclip route or duplicate a planned core feature.
**Additional context**
The flow keeps the login URL, code, and token out of logs, results, and
errors. The proof home uses a company-scoped root and a run-scoped
private directory.
## What Changed
- Add a pure parser for the exact Codex device-login URL and one-time
code shape.
- Add a sandbox runner with prompt handling, timeout, cancellation, and
disposal.
- Add a credential export step with company scoping, path checks,
payload checks, private modes, locking, and cleanup.
- Add redacted device-login fixtures and focused tests for parsing,
secret redaction, runner outcomes, credential export, and cleanup.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local exec vitest run`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local exec tsc
--noEmit`.
- Review tests for strict URL and code validation, timeout,
cancellation, disposal, secret redaction, path safety, payload safety,
file modes, and cleanup.
## Risks
- This change provides building blocks, not a live Daytona proof.
- A later integration must connect the runner to a concrete sandbox
driver.
- Credential export depends on existing Codex authentication cache
helpers.
- Incorrect path or payload assumptions can reject valid credentials.
## Model Used
Codex, GPT-5, tool use, code execution, and repository review. The
Paperclip runtime controls the exact context window and reasoning mode.

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

thinking and tool use (file edits, local test runs, live-instance
inspection).

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip posts system comments when automatic run recovery cannot
continue
> - These comments currently mix the main event with recovery
identifiers and routing details
> - The task chat shell also renders these comments as large raw text
blocks
> - Operators need a short explanation first and inspectable evidence on
demand
> - This pull request emits structured recovery notices and renders them
as compact humanized rows
> - The benefit is a quieter task thread that keeps the full recovery
evidence available
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related prior extraction source: #11070. This pull request replaces only
its structured recovery notice slice with a focused branch based on
current master.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Paperclip recovery escalations and the experimental task chat
system-comment renderer.
**Current behavior**
Recovery escalation comments put action identifiers, owner details, run
details, and failure codes into the visible markdown body. The task chat
shell renders the complete system comment as a large text block.
**Proposed behavior**
The server emits a short system notice with typed metadata sections. The
task chat shell classifies known recovery families and renders one
compact row. An operator can expand the row to inspect the full body and
metadata.
**Reason and benefit**
The main thread stays readable during repeated recovery activity. Typed
links and evidence remain available without exposing raw failure text in
the default view.
**Breaking changes**
The visible recovery comment body is shorter. Recovery action
deduplication now reads the structured metadata and still recognizes
legacy body markers. No API schema or database migration changes.
## What Changed
- Emit stranded recovery escalations with `system_notice` presentation
and typed recovery, owner, run, and failure-code metadata.
- Share bounded metadata row builders across recovery notice producers
and preserve legacy deduplication compatibility.
- Humanize known recovery notice families and render compact expandable
task-chat rows.
- Route system-authored comments ahead of derived agent authorship so
recovery notices do not appear as agent bubbles.
- Add focused server and UI regression coverage.
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 clean.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.

src/components/task-chat/TaskChatSystemNotice.test.tsx

- Storybook visual baselines were not updated because this chat-shell
path has no affected snapshot baseline. Focused rendering tests and
token gates cover this change.
## Risks
- Consumers that parse recovery action identifiers from comment markdown
must move to structured metadata. Server deduplication remains backward
compatible with legacy comments.
- The humanizer uses stable recovery-family phrases. Unknown notices use
a generic truncated first-sentence fallback.
- The UI changes only the experimental task chat presentation. The
stored comment body and expanded metadata remain available.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip runs AI agents through adapter execution services.
> - The adapter runtime records spans for each stage of agent startup.
> - The managed runtime packs workspace tarballs before it uploads them.
> - These pack operations had no host span, so `stage.sync` omitted pack
time.
> - This pull request adds one `pack` span around both tarball builds.
> - The span nests under the active `stage.sync` step and improves trace
detail.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The managed runtime workspace sync builds a git-history tarball and a
workspace-overlay tarball before upload.
**Subsystem affected**
The change affects `packages/adapter-utils`, which provides adapter
execution and managed runtime support.
**Current behavior**
The host builds both tarballs without an OpenTelemetry span. The
`stage.sync` trace therefore omits the host pack duration.
**Proposed behavior**
The host wraps both tarball builds in one `pack` span. The executor
parents this span under the active startup step.
**Reason and benefit**
The trace shows the time that the host spends packing workspace data.
Operators can use the existing runtime span tree to find sync delays.
**Breaking changes**
None. The default span runner remains a no-op runner, and the existing
control flow remains unchanged.
## What Changed
- Add an optional `runtimeSpan` runner to the managed runtime
preparation path.
- Create one host `pack` span around the two workspace tarball builds.
- Parent the `pack` span under the active startup step.
- Add unit coverage for span emission and span nesting.
## Verification
- Run `tsc --noEmit` for `@paperclipai/adapter-utils`.
- Run the `@paperclipai/adapter-utils` Vitest suite.
- Confirm the suite reports 448 passed tests and 4 skipped tests.
- Confirm the trace test records `pack` under `stage.sync`.
## Risks
The change adds optional tracing only. The default no-op runner
preserves behavior when tracing is not configured.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution. The model reviewed the
handoff and opened this pull request. The implementation author supplied
the commit.

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

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Skills Store lets a company find and install reusable agent
procedures
> - The MCP integration preparation procedure existed outside the app
catalog
> - Paperclip users could not find or install that procedure from the
product
> - This pull request adds the procedure as an optional software
development skill
> - The skill keeps research, human approval, and connector delivery as
separate gates
> - The benefit is a repeatable and governed path from vendor research
to one connector pull request
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The app-shipped Skills Store can install optional skills, but it does
not include the MCP integration preparation workflow from
`paperclip-content`.
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/skills-catalog`.
**Current behavior**
An agent must know where the external workflow lives. The agent cannot
find or install it from the Paperclip skills catalog.
**Proposed behavior**
The optional catalog includes `prepare-mcp-integration`. The installed
skill directs agents through cited research, a research-only content
pull request, an exact-revision human gate, and one Paperclip connector
pull request per approved connection.
**Reason and benefit**
This change makes the existing integration and connector playbooks
available as one installable Paperclip workflow. It also prevents agents
from starting connector code before the research gate is approved.
**Breaking changes**
None. The skill is optional and markdown-only.
Related source work: paperclipai/paperclip-content#13.
## What Changed
- Add the optional `prepare-mcp-integration` catalog skill under
software development
- Add Paperclip catalog metadata for roles, requirements, tags, and
trust classification
- Add a worked Notion MCP research-gate example
- Regenerate the checked-in catalog manifest
- Add the new key to the shipped optional skill test
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/skills-catalog build:manifest`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/skills-catalog validate`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/skills-catalog test`
- Confirm the generated catalog contains
`paperclipai/optional/software-development/prepare-mcp-integration`
- Confirm the trust level is `markdown_only` and compatibility is
`compatible`
## Risks
- Low risk. This change adds one optional markdown-only catalog entry.
- The workflow can become stale if the two upstream playbooks change.
The skill requires agents to read the current playbooks before each
phase and to update upstream rules when reusable specifications change.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5.4, reasoning mode, shell tool use, and code
editing.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Sandbox provider plugins let agents run commands in remote
environments.
> - The Daytona provider polls the exit code while it waits for command
logs.
> - Polling delays log delivery and does not support long-lived streamed
commands.
> - This pull request adds an opt-in Daytona log stream with one
reconnect and a poll fallback.
> - The benefit is faster log delivery while the existing default path
stays unchanged.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs: #10941
**Subsystem affected**
packages/plugins — sandbox provider plugins.
**Problem or motivation**
The Daytona provider polls the command exit code every 50 milliseconds
while it waits for logs. This delays output and does not support a
long-lived streamed command.
**Proposed solution**
Add the `useLogStream` provider option. Stream stdout and stderr from
the Daytona callback log form, read the exit code after the stream ends,
retry the read with bounded backoff, and fall back to the existing poll
path after a disconnect.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep polling for all commands. This keeps the current behavior but does
not provide timely logs or a path for long-lived commands.
**Roadmap alignment**
This supports the roadmap item for cloud and sandbox agents, including
Daytona.
## What Changed
- Add the opt-in `useLogStream` option with a default of `false`.
- Stream stdout and stderr from the Daytona callback log form.
- Drop replayed log prefixes by delivered byte offset after reconnect.
- Retry once after disconnect, then use the existing poll path.
- Read the exit code once after a successful stream and retry when the
code is not ready.
- Add tests for ordered output, exit-code reads, disconnect fallback,
and reconnect replay handling.
## Verification
- Run `node_modules/.bin/vitest run --config
packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/vitest.config.ts
packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/src/plugin.test.ts`.
- Confirm that the full Daytona plugin test project passes with 127
tests.
- Confirm that the changed files type-check against Daytona SDK 0.203.0
types.
- Review the PR against parent PR #10941 before it reaches `master`.
## Risks
- The stream path changes behavior only when `useLogStream` is `true`.
- A stream failure can add one reconnect attempt before the existing
poll fallback.
- The stream path has no command deadline because it supports long-lived
commands.
- No endpoint, stored data, telemetry shape, authentication rule, or
result shape changes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent runs execute inside sandbox environments. Sandbox provider
plugins (Daytona, Modal, exe.dev, and others) declare a JSON-Schema
`configSchema`. The Environment configuration form renders from that
schema.
> - The sizing and image fields open empty. Users must guess working
values. The Modal form cannot submit at all until the user types an app
name and an image by hand.
> - The form renderer already pre-fills every field that declares a
JSON-Schema `default`. The manifests do not use this mechanism for
sizing or image fields.
> - This pull request adds optional `default` values to the Daytona,
Modal, and exe.dev manifest schemas.
> - The benefit is a form that opens with known-good values. Users can
create a working environment without provider research.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Current behavior**
The Environment configuration form opens with empty sizing and image
fields for the Daytona, Modal, and exe.dev sandbox providers. Users must
find working values in provider documentation. Modal declares `appName`
and `image` as required with no default, so the form blocks submission
until the user invents both values.
**Proposed behavior**
The provider manifests declare JSON-Schema `default` values. The
existing form renderer pre-fills them:
- Daytona: CPU `4`, memory `4` GiB, disk `10` GiB, image
`daytonaio/sandbox:0.8.0`
- exe.dev: CPU `4`, memory `4GB`, disk `20GB`
- Modal: app name `paperclip`, image `node:22`
Secret-ref fields (API keys, tokens) get no defaults on purpose. The
form persists a raw string in a secret-ref field as a company secret on
save. A placeholder default would become a stored secret with a bogus
value. Each plugin test suite now guards this invariant.
**Reason and benefit**
New users can create a working sandbox environment without guessing. The
defaults stay optional: users can clear or change every value, and the
schema marks no new field as required. The Modal image default `node:22`
satisfies the sandbox runtime contract in `SANDBOX-REQUIREMENTS.md`
(`node`, `sh`, and `tar` on PATH).
**Subsystem affected**
Sandbox provider plugins (`packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/*`):
environment driver `configSchema` manifests.
**Breaking changes**
None. Defaults only seed the create-mode form. Saved environments keep
their stored config. E2B, Novita, Cloudflare, and Kubernetes manifests
do not change: E2B and Novita already default to their base templates,
and the Cloudflare bridge and Kubernetes cluster fields have no sensible
universal value.
## What Changed
- Add `default` values for `cpu`, `memory`, `disk`, and `image` in the
Daytona manifest. Trim the memory description to match.
- Add `default` values for `cpu`, `memory`, and `disk` in the exe.dev
manifest.
- Add `default` values for `appName` and `image` in the Modal manifest.
Extend the image description with the runtime-contract rationale.
- Add manifest tests in all three plugins: defaults match expected
values, defaults satisfy their own schema constraints, and no secret-ref
field declares a default.
- Bump plugin versions: daytona and modal `0.1.0` → `0.1.1`, exe-dev
`0.1.1` → `0.1.2`.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm test` in `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona`,
`.../modal`, and `.../exe-dev`. The new `* manifest form defaults`
suites pass.
- Run `./node_modules/.bin/tsc --noEmit` in each of the three packages.
Typecheck passes.
- Manual: rebuild the plugins (`pnpm build` in each package), let the
plugin dev-watcher refresh the manifest, then open Environments → New
environment. The Daytona form shows CPU 4, Memory 4, Disk 10, and image
`daytonaio/sandbox:0.8.0`. The Modal form shows `paperclip` and
`node:22`. The API key fields stay empty.
- Verified live on a local instance: the served `configSchema` in the
plugin registry carries the new defaults, and existing environments are
unchanged.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change touches only manifest schema metadata and tests.
No runtime code path changes.
- New environments created with untouched forms now request 4 CPU / 4
GiB / 10 GiB from Daytona instead of provider minimums. This can raise
cost per sandbox for users who previously saved empty fields.
- The Daytona image default pins `daytonaio/sandbox:0.8.0`. The default
needs a manual bump when Daytona ships new sandbox images.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server runs a recovery sweep every 30 seconds. The sweep makes
sure assigned issues do not stall.
> - The sweep reads the latest heartbeat run for each candidate issue.
It filters `heartbeat_runs` on `context_snapshot ->> 'issueId'`. No
index covers this expression.
> - Each lookup scans ~26k rows and detoasts each row's JSONB context
(~645 ms per query, measured with EXPLAIN ANALYZE). With ~460 candidate
issues, one sweep schedules ~500 seconds of database work every 30
seconds.
> - The database saturates. Users see the whole server as slow.
> - This pull request adds expression indexes so these lookups become
index scans.
> - The benefit is that the recovery sweep drops from ~500 seconds of
database work per tick to milliseconds, and the server becomes
responsive again.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The server became slow for all users. `pg_stat_activity` sampling showed
the same two recovery-sweep queries active continuously (15/15 samples).
Each `getLatestIssueRun` call filtered `heartbeat_runs` on the unindexed
expression `context_snapshot ->> 'issueId'`, scanned ~26k rows, and
detoasted a 2.1 GB TOAST region. `heartbeat_runs` accumulated 10.8
billion sequential tuples read. `hasActiveExecutionPath` also scanned
`agent_wakeup_requests` (1.8M rows) on the unindexed expression `payload
->> 'issueId'`.
**Expected behavior**
Per-issue run lookups in the recovery sweep complete in milliseconds.
The sweep finishes well inside its 30-second interval. Background
maintenance does not degrade interactive latency.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a board with several hundred issues in `todo` / `in_progress` /
`in_review` and a large `heartbeat_runs` table with big
`context_snapshot` payloads.
2. Let the heartbeat scheduler run its 30-second recovery sweep.
3. Observe `pg_stat_activity`: the per-issue `heartbeat_runs` lookups
run continuously; `EXPLAIN ANALYZE` shows a filter on `context_snapshot
->> 'issueId'` removing tens of thousands of rows per call.
**Paperclip version or commit**
master (814cb336)
## What Changed
- Add migration `0209_heartbeat_context_snapshot_indexes.sql` with three
expression indexes:
- `heartbeat_runs (company_id, (context_snapshot ->> 'issueId'),
created_at DESC)`
- `heartbeat_runs (company_id, (context_snapshot ->> 'taskId'),
created_at DESC)`
- `agent_wakeup_requests (company_id, (payload ->> 'issueId'))` — with a
`large-create-index-not-concurrently` safety pragma and justification,
following the migration 0206 precedent.
- Mirror the three indexes in the drizzle schema files
(`heartbeat_runs.ts`, `agent_wakeup_requests.ts`).
- Add `heartbeat-context-snapshot-index-migration.test.ts`. The test
boots a fresh embedded Postgres, applies the full migration chain,
asserts the indexes exist, and asserts with `EXPLAIN` that the planner
selects them for the exact hot query shapes.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db exec tsx
src/check-migration-numbering.ts` passes.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db exec tsx src/check-migration-safety.ts`
passes.
- `npx vitest run
src/heartbeat-context-snapshot-index-migration.test.ts` passes (fresh
embedded Postgres, full chain 0000→0209, planner uses all three
indexes).
- `npx vitest run src/check-migration-safety.test.ts` passes (25/25).
- `tsc --noEmit` clean for `packages/db`.
## Risks
- The index builds run inside the transactional migration (no
`CONCURRENTLY`). The `heartbeat_runs` build must read its 2.1 GB TOAST
once; expect the migration step to add roughly 1–3 minutes to one deploy
while writes to the two tables wait. This is a one-time cost at startup,
before the server accepts traffic.
- Three new indexes add small write overhead to two hot-write tables.
The read savings are several orders of magnitude larger.
- No query or API behavior changes; the planner simply gains a better
access path.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Issue reviews use thread confirmations to record explicit verdicts
> - The server allowed users to resolve review confirmations but
rejected all agent actors
> - This one-way rule prevented an eligible agent reviewer from
completing a review
> - The existing review policy already defines which actor can submit a
verdict
> - This pull request applies that policy to agent confirmation verdicts
on writable issues
> - The benefit is a consistent review gate for users and agents with
preserved audit attribution
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Builds on: #10931 (merged into master before this PR)
- Refs #8617
## What Changed
- Allow eligible agents to accept or reject pending review confirmations
on issues they can write.
- Allow a creator agent to withdraw its own pending review confirmation
when the review policy permits it.
- Reuse the review verdict policy check for users and agents.
- Require an explicit, same-run review-confirmation binding so unrelated
board-only confirmations stay protected.
- Preserve board-only tool action confirmations and existing user
attribution.
- Add route and service tests for agent accept, reject, withdrawal,
human-only denial, and user attribution.

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

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

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

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

- OpenAI Codex coding agent. The exact runtime model ID and
context-window size are not exposed. The agent used reasoning,
repository editing, terminal execution, Paperclip API, and GitHub CLI
capabilities. Q3 UI work also records Claude Opus 4.8 assistance in its

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The agent Test action builds adapter config from the form.
> - The build-config parser kept plain and secret_ref bindings.
> - It dropped user_secret_ref bindings on the create path.
> - This PR shares one parser that keeps every binding shape.
> - The test path now sends the same env binding set that a real run
sees.
> - The benefit is one fix across every adapter build-config path.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The agent Test action dropped a user-scoped env binding in create mode.
The same agent config worked in a real run. Related public PRs: #10115,
#9321, #9921, #8825.
**Expected behavior**
The Test action should keep user-scoped env bindings and resolve them
like a real run.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Set a user-scoped env binding on an agent config form.
2. Run Test in create mode.
3. The probe runs without the variable.
**Paperclip version or commit**
c09d2509e3
**Deployment mode**
Local dev (pnpm dev)
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core bug)
**Database mode**
Embedded PGlite (default — DATABASE_URL unset)
**Additional context**
This change is not Claude-specific.
## What Changed
- Added a shared env binding parser in `@paperclipai/adapter-utils`.
- Replaced the eight adapter build-config copies with the shared helper.
- Kept `plain`, `secret_ref`, and `user_secret_ref` bindings intact in
create mode and edit mode.
- Preserved the runtime merge behavior from the earlier env merge
change.
## Verification
- Author-recorded test run:
`packages/adapter-utils/src/env-bindings.test.ts`
- Author-recorded test run:
`packages/adapters/claude-local/src/ui/build-config.test.ts`
- Author-recorded test run: six adapter build-config test files
- Author-recorded typecheck: `tsc --noEmit` for adapter-utils and the
eight adapter packages
- GitHub checks: all required PR checks pass on PR #10926.
- Greptile review: 5/5 with no open comments.
## Risks
- The change touches adapter config assembly.
- A wrong binding shape would change test-time probe input.
- Tests cover the binding types and the create-mode path.

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

- `pnpm check:token-gates`
## Risks
The reaper intentionally fails closed when issue terminality,
pull-request state, git ancestry, or checkout ownership cannot be
proven. GitHub lookups can delay classification and cleanup but cannot
cause an unproven workspace to be archived. Automated terminal archival
holds exclusive Git index, HEAD, and branch-ref locks across validation
and removal, skips configured destructive hooks, and uses non-forced
removal so dirty writes fail closed. Reopening a source issue does not
restore an archived workspace; it emits an audit event so a human or
agent can re-provision explicitly.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Daytona sandbox provider lives in
`packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona`
> - That plugin depends on `@daytonaio/sdk` for session control and
command execution
> - The stable SDK version moved forward, but the plugin still used an
older pin
> - This pull request pins the SDK to the current stable release and
keeps the package build and tests green
> - The benefit is the plugin uses the current client surface with a
very small change set
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The Daytona plugin keeps an older `@daytonaio/sdk` pin than the current
stable release.
**Current behavior**
The plugin depends on `^0.171.0`.
**Proposed behavior**
The plugin pins `@daytonaio/sdk` to `0.203.0`.
**Reason and benefit**
The plugin uses the current stable client. The build and the existing
tests still pass with the real 0.203.0 types. The change keeps the
tracked diff small.
**Breaking changes**
None. The package manifest changes only the SDK pin. The workspace
package is excluded from the root lockfile.
**Additional context**
Refs #7333, which updated the same package to `0.183.0`.
## What Changed
- Updated `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/package.json` to
pin `@daytonaio/sdk` at `0.203.0`.
- Kept the change limited to the plugin package manifest.
## Verification
- `pnpm run build` in the plugin directory passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run --config
packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/vitest.config.ts` passed.
- `git status` showed only the one-line manifest change before the PR
open step.
- `git fetch origin chore/daytona-sdk-0-203-0` returned
`d2592644e80dfac2cfae6d9ccc2188267fe75758`.
- `git diff --stat origin/master...HEAD` showed only the one manifest
file change.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change only updates a package pin.
- The plugin build and tests already passed against the new SDK surface.
- A future SDK release could need a follow-up pin update.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool-use enabled.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists. Description follows the enhancement template:
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The workspace transport in `@paperclipai/adapter-utils` already copies a
git workspace to the execution host and back. This change improves the
fidelity of that copy: the transported repo keeps the workspace's
`origin` remote instead of losing it.
**Subsystem affected**
Adapter utilities — the sandbox transport
(`withShallowGitWorkspaceClone` in
`packages/adapter-utils/src/git-workspace-sync.ts`) and the SSH
transport (`importGitWorkspaceToSsh` in
`packages/adapter-utils/src/ssh.ts`).
**Current behavior**
The transported copy is built with `git init` plus a depth-1 (sandbox)
or bundle (SSH) fetch. It has no remotes. `git remote -v` is empty and
the head commit reads as a root snapshot with no visible ancestry.
Agents and operators inside the execution host cannot fetch real
ancestry or push a branch, even when the branch base is a commit the
upstream remote already holds.
**Proposed behavior**
The transport reads the source workspace's `origin` URL, scrubs
credentials from it, and configures it on the transported copy. The
sandbox path adds the remote to the fresh clone. The SSH path sets or
adds the remote in the remote setup script, which also covers reused
workspace directories. A workspace with no `origin` transports exactly
as before.
**Reason and benefit**
A branch committed in a transported workspace becomes publishable in
place: the shallow boundary commit already exists on the remote, so a
push pack closes without full local ancestry (a new test locks in this
property). Fetching real ancestry also becomes possible for whoever
holds credentials. Without this, agents must describe their change in a
handoff document and a human must reconstruct the branch by hand.
**Breaking changes**
None. The URL copy is best-effort and metadata-only. The transport never
fetches from or pushes to the remote. The no-remote-git contract holds:
sync-back through the local cwd stays the only cross-run persistence
path, and `packages/adapters/AUTHORING.md` gains a paragraph that makes
the carried-remote nuance explicit.
## What Changed
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/git-workspace-sync.ts`: new
`sanitizeGitRemoteUrl` (strips http(s) userinfo, where tokens can be
embedded; scp-like/ssh forms and filesystem paths pass through) and
`readSanitizedOriginRemoteUrl`; `withShallowGitWorkspaceClone`
configures the scrubbed `origin` on the fresh clone, best-effort.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/ssh.ts`: `importGitWorkspaceToSsh` sets or
adds the scrubbed `origin` in the remote setup script, non-fatal under
`set -e`.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/git-workspace-sync.test.ts`: four new
integration cases (remote copied, credentials scrubbed, no-origin
unchanged, push from the shallow clone to an origin that holds the base
commit) plus `sanitizeGitRemoteUrl` unit tests.
- `packages/adapters/AUTHORING.md`: documents that a transported copy
may carry a credential-scrubbed `origin` as metadata, and why this does
not weaken the no-remote-git contract.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/git-workspace-sync.test.ts`
— 12/12 pass (4 new integration cases + sanitizer unit tests).
- `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts` — 24/24
pass.
- `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/ssh-fixture.test.ts` —
16/16 pass, including the `no-remote-git contract` case (a workspace
without `origin` still round-trips with no remote introduced at any
point).
- `node scripts/check-no-git-push.mjs` — passes; this change adds no
push or fetch to adapter/runtime code.
- `pnpm typecheck` in `packages/adapter-utils` — clean.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change is additive metadata on the transported copy
only; failure to record the remote never fails the transport.
- Credential exposure is the real hazard and is handled: http(s)
userinfo is stripped before the URL leaves the host. Non-http forms
(scp-like, `ssh://`) carry no secret in the URL and pass through.
- A reused SSH workspace whose project `origin` changed now gets the
current URL via `set-url` instead of keeping a stale one.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators often open self-hosted Paperclip over plain HTTP on a LAN
or private network.
> - Browser Clipboard API writes are not reliable in that insecure
context.
> - Paperclip already has one shared helper with a legacy copy fallback,
but many current copy actions bypass it.
> - This pull request routes every core UI copy action and the
first-party workspace-diff plugin through the shared helper.
> - The benefit is consistent copy behavior on HTTPS, localhost, and
plain-HTTP private deployments.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #3529.
This change supersedes the stale prior attempt in #3531. Current master
has more copy surfaces and a first-party plugin UI bridge that the prior
branch does not cover.
## What Changed
- Replaced direct Clipboard API writes and duplicate fallback
implementations across the current core UI with `copyTextToClipboard`.
- Added an HTTP-safe clipboard function to the plugin UI SDK and wired
the host bridge to the same implementation.
- Migrated the first-party workspace-diff plugin to the plugin SDK
clipboard function.
- Added unit coverage for native rejection fallback and plugin host
delegation.
- Added a source-level regression test that rejects new direct clipboard
writes outside the shared implementation.
- Documented the plugin UI clipboard function.
## Verification
- `NODE_ENV=test pnpm exec vitest run ...` for 14 affected suites: 164
tests passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run tests/ui-clipboard.test.ts` in
`packages/plugins/sdk`: 1 test passed.
- `NODE_ENV=test pnpm -r typecheck`: passed for 31 workspace projects.
- `NODE_ENV=test pnpm test:run`: passed.
- `NODE_ENV=production pnpm build`: passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed with all gates clean.
## Risks
Low risk. Secure contexts still use the modern Clipboard API. Plain HTTP
and rejected modern writes use the existing `execCommand("copy")`
fallback. That API is deprecated, but it is the compatibility path
required for insecure contexts. The change has no schema, API, or visual
design effect.

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

response

changes

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related PR: #10801 removes the issue-page decision strip, which makes
clear queue provenance more important.
**What happened?**
A strict decision stayed pending until its time-to-live limit after
every target task reached `done`. The decision card linked only the
origin task. The origin task is where the agent proposed the decision,
and it can differ from the task that the decision affects. An operator
could therefore open a finished task with no visible decision and no
explanation of the real target.
**Expected behavior**
Paperclip must expire a strict decision when all of its targets finish
after the decision is proposed. The card must show and link every target
task that differs from the origin task.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a strict decision that targets an active task from a different
origin task.
2. Move the target task to `done` without resolving the decision.
3. Run the decision expiry sweep.
4. Observe that the old code keeps the decision open until its
time-to-live limit.
5. Observe that the old card links only the origin task.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The bug reproduces on upstream `master` before this pull request.
**Deployment mode**
Local dev and self-hosted server modes are affected because the behavior
is in the shared decision service and board UI.
## What Changed
- Expire an open strict decision with reason `target_completed` when
every strict target reached `done` after proposal.
- Keep decisions that intentionally target an already-finished task.
- Keep lenient-only decisions open.
- Keep continuation delivery consistent with other expiry reasons.
- Add target-task links to the decision card provenance line.
- Use one shared target-ID helper across signing, execution, expiry,
card provenance, and resolver preloading.
- Add service and UI regression tests for primary, secondary, and
target-completed cases.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/DecisionCard.test.tsx
server/src/__tests__/decisions-service.test.ts` — 51 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — all gates clean.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed.
## Risks
- Low migration risk. This change does not alter the database schema.
- The expiry sweep performs the existing strict-target query and adds a
snapshot comparison before expiry.
- A decision remains open if any strict target is active or if a target
was already `done` at proposal time.
> The roadmap lists work queues as planned. This pull request fixes the
existing decisions desk. It does not add a new queue subsystem.
## Model Used
- Implementation: Anthropic Claude through Claude Code. The runtime did
not expose the exact model snapshot or context-window size. The model
used reasoning, repository tools, code execution, and test execution.
- PR preparation: OpenAI Codex with GPT-5. The runtime did not expose a

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The `openclaw-gateway` adapter wakes a remote agent over a WebSocket
gateway. It sends a wake prompt. That prompt tells the agent which
environment variables to set and which file holds its Paperclip API key.
> - Each agent stores its claimed key in its own JSON file. The adapter
already exposes a `claimedApiKeyPath` config field for this. The field
is documented in `src/index.ts`. It also has an input in the agent
settings UI.
> - `buildWakeText` ignored that field. It hardcoded the shared default
path into the wake prompt text.
> - Every agent therefore read the same key file at wake time. Agents
authenticated as the wrong identity. The first API call failed.
> - This pull request passes `ctx.config.claimedApiKeyPath` into
`buildWakeText`. It uses the existing `resolveClaimedApiKeyPath` helper.
That helper falls back to the documented default.
> - The benefit is that each agent reads its own claimed-key file. Each
agent authenticates as itself.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#10071Fixes#4976Fixes#3098Fixes#8076
These four open issues report the same defect. Earlier duplicates are
already closed: Refs #2561, Refs #2592, Refs #930.
Related pull requests that address the same root problem (duplicate
search):
- #3396 — same core change, no tests
- #3370 — heavier approach, injects `PAPERCLIP_CLAIMED_API_KEY_PATH`
into the wake env and adds server onboarding defaults
- #5970 — renames the config field to `paperclipApiKeyPath`
- #8072 — same core change, bundled with an unrelated protocol-version
change
- #784 — adds shell quoting and preflight instructions
- #3296 — bundled with an unrelated Claude hello-probe fix
## What Changed
- `packages/adapters/openclaw-gateway/src/server/execute.ts`
- `buildWakeText` now accepts `claimedApiKeyPath` as a parameter. It no
longer hardcodes the path.
- The `execute` call site passes
`resolveClaimedApiKeyPath(ctx.config.claimedApiKeyPath)`. That helper
returns the documented default
`~/.openclaw/workspace/paperclip-claimed-api-key.json` when the agent
sets no override.
- `resolveClaimedApiKeyPath` is now exported so tests can call it.
- `packages/adapters/openclaw-gateway/src/server/execute.test.ts` — adds
`resolveClaimedApiKeyPath` cases: a configured value, an empty string, a
whitespace-only string, `undefined`, `null`, and non-string input.
- `packages/adapters/openclaw-gateway/vitest.config.ts` (new) —
package-level vitest config. It matches the config used by sibling
adapters such as `opencode-local`.
- `vitest.config.ts` (root) — adds the adapter to the workspace project
list.
- `scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs` — adds
`@paperclipai/adapter-openclaw-gateway` to `nonServerProjects`.
**Maintainer-added during rebase.** The CI test lanes do not run a bare
`vitest`. They call `run-vitest-stable.mjs`, which invokes vitest with
an explicit `--project` allowlist. Without this entry the CI lanes skip
this package, and the root project-list entry alone has no effect on CI.
## Verification
Run the package suite directly:
```
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/adapter-openclaw-gateway
```
The suite covers `resolveSessionKey`, `buildAgentParams`, and the new
`resolveClaimedApiKeyPath` cases. The first two already existed in this
file but never executed in CI before this change.
Typecheck the package:
```
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-openclaw-gateway typecheck
```
Behavioural check, which no automated test covers:
1. Set `claimedApiKeyPath` to a per-agent value such as
`~/.openclaw/workspace/paperclip-keys/<agent>.json` in the agent's
gateway adapter settings.
2. Trigger a wake for that agent.
3. Confirm the rendered wake text names that file. It must not name the
shared default.
Maintainer note: this branch was rebased onto current `master` by a
maintainer. The original branch was two months stale. Only two conflicts
occurred, both additive: the import line and the tail of
`execute.test.ts`, and the project list in the root `vitest.config.ts`.
The `execute.ts` change applied without conflict. CI and Greptile re-run
against the rebased head.
## Risks
- Low for existing deployments. `resolveClaimedApiKeyPath` preserves the
default path exactly. Any agent that never set `claimedApiKeyPath`
receives the same wake text as before.
- The behaviour changes only for agents that already set a per-agent
path. Those agents previously received the wrong instruction. They now
receive the correct one.
- No database, schema, or API surface changes.
- CI now runs this package's test file for the first time. That file
includes the pre-existing `resolveSessionKey` and `buildAgentParams`
tests, which were never executed before.
- Five other adapters (`cursor-cloud`, `cursor-local`, `gemini-local`,
`grok-local`, `pi-local`) sit in the root project list but remain absent
from the CI allowlist. This pull request does not change them. That gap
is tracked separately.
## Model Used
- Contributor's change: Anthropic Claude, model ID `claude-opus-4-7`,
approximately 200K context, extended thinking. Used for triage, patch
authoring, and the original description.
- Rebase, the `run-vitest-stable.mjs` entry, and this description:
Anthropic Claude, model ID `claude-opus-5`, tool use enabled. Run by a
Paperclip maintainer.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents write to tasks they do not own. They comment, they change
fields, and the control plane now permits this by default for
standard-trust agents on any task they can read
> - This makes a task thread ambiguous. A reader sees a comment from an
agent that is not the assignee, but no surface says whose authority that
write rode
> - The same gap applies to field edits. The activity stream named the
verb, but it did not show the before value, the after value, or the
reason the write was permitted
> - The remaining refusals are also opaque. An agent that hits a wall
receives a 403 with no boundary name, no actor who can act, and no
sanctioned path. One real incident spent a full detour to find the
workaround
> - This pull request adds the three surfaces that make open cross-task
writes legible: an attribution chip, a field-level audit receipt, and an
actionable denial contract shared by the API and the UI
> - The benefit is that a reader can answer "who did this, on whose
authority, and was it allowed?" on the task itself, and a blocked writer
is told what to do next
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists for this work, so the enhancement is described
here.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Cross-task agent writes are permitted, but they are not explained. A
task thread can hold comments from agents that are not the assignee, and
the activity stream can hold field changes made by those agents. Neither
surface names the responsible user behind the write. When a write is
refused, the error text does not name the boundary or the way forward.
**Subsystem affected**
Issue detail UI (comment thread and activity stream), the issue write
authorization responses in the server, and the shared copy contract that
both consume.
**Current behavior**
- An agent comment on a task the agent does not own looks the same as an
assignee comment.
- An `issue.updated` activity row states the verb only. It does not show
the field-level before and after values, the responsible user, or the
authorization reason.
- A refused write returns a short message such as an ownership error.
The message does not state which rule fired, who is able to perform the
action, or which alternative path is sanctioned.
**Proposed behavior**
- An agent comment on a task the agent does not own carries a chip that
reads "for {user}". The chip names the responsible user. Its tooltip
states that the author is not the assignee and cannot exceed that user's
permissions.
- Each `issue.updated` row shows a receipt: the changed fields with
before and after values, the responsible user, and the authorization
reason. This applies to board edits as well as agent edits.
- Each refusal states three things: the boundary that fired, who is able
to act, and the sanctioned path. The API error body and the in-app
notice use the same words, because both read one shared contract.
Related pull requests, found by searching this repository:
- Refs #10837 — merged. It added the default-open cross-task write rule,
the comment attribution data, and the per-run containment cap that this
pull request makes visible.
- Refs #10114 — open. It proposes a narrower authorization change in the
same area.
- Refs #7998 — open. It proposes append-only cross-assignee comments as
an alternative to opening writes.
## What Changed
- Adds `packages/shared/src/issue-write-denial.ts`. This is one copy
contract for eight ways an issue write can be refused: not visible,
responsible-user ceiling, responsible user unavailable, excluded actor
class, assignee run lock, per-run cross-task cap, missing run context,
and rejected attribution. Each entry names the boundary, who can act,
and the sanctioned path.
- Maps server authorization decisions onto that contract in
`server/src/routes/issues.ts` and
`server/src/services/cross-issue-influence-limit.ts`. The flattened
`error` string carries all three obligations, and `details.code` lets
the UI render the same words. The two cap codes keep the names they
already ship under.
- Adds `CommentAttributionChip`. It renders "for {user}" beside the
author name on agent comments where the author is not the assignee. It
renders nothing when no responsible user is recorded, so older rows stay
clean. It is wired into both `IssueChatThread` and the flagged
`TaskChatThread` redesign.
- Adds `IssueFieldChangeReceipt`. It renders the change receipt under
`issue.updated` rows in the activity stream. Ids resolve to agent and
user names where the directory is loaded. Server-truncated text is
labelled as a preview, so the receipt never implies that it shows a
whole value.
- Adds `IssueWriteDenialNotice`. It renders the shared copy in the app,
keyed off the denial events the server logs on a task.
- Adds a public `/ux-lab/cross-issue-collaboration` page. It renders all
three surfaces and their edge cases for review without a seeded thread.
This follows the existing `ux-lab` pages.
## Verification
Automated, all green:
```
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared exec vitest run src/issue-write-denial.test.ts # 17 tests
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run src/components/IssueWriteDenialNotice.test.tsx \
src/components/IssueFieldChangeReceipt.test.tsx src/components/CommentAttributionChip.test.tsx \
src/lib/issue-change-receipt.test.ts src/lib/comment-attribution.test.ts # 46 tests
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run src/__tests__/cross-issue-influence-limit.test.ts \
src/__tests__/issue-comment-attribution-audit-routes.test.ts \
src/__tests__/issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts \
src/__tests__/low-trust-red-team-routes.test.ts # 98 tests
```
`tsc --noEmit` passes for the shared, ui, and server packages.
Manual, in a browser:
1. Start the UI only: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vite`.
2. Open `/ux-lab/cross-issue-collaboration`. No session is needed,
because `ux-lab` routes are public.
3. All three surfaces were captured at 1440x900 in light mode and dark
mode, and at 390x844. The page reported no errors.
4. The chip tooltip was opened by a hover and by a keyboard focus.
Rendering the page found defects that the tests had missed. Three copy
and contrast defects were fixed, and two of them are now pinned by a
test. A design review then found three layout defects, which are also
fixed: the denial notice orphaned its label when a value wrapped, the
receipt icon wrapped onto its own line at narrow widths, and the chip
tooltip was reachable by hover only.
## Risks
Low risk, and additive.
- Every new surface renders nothing when its data is absent. Comments
without a recorded responsible user show no chip, and activity events
without a receipt show no receipt, so existing rows do not change.
- No migration is included. The data these surfaces read already ships.
- The wire values of the two per-run cap denial codes are unchanged.
Only the human-readable text changes, plus six codes that had no
`details.code` before.
- The denial copy is read by agents as well as people. If wording must
change later, one shared module is the only place to change it.
- Roadmap check: this extends the completed "Activity log & action
attribution" area rather than duplicating planned core work.
## Model Used
Claude Opus 5 (Anthropic), model id `claude-opus-5[1m]`, 1M context
window, extended thinking, with tool use and code execution. It ran as
an agent in Claude Code and drove a real browser to capture the review
screenshots.

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

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip manages agent work as issues and pull requests.
> - This change lives in the Codex local adapter path.
> - The host auth flow needs a stable cache per identity.
> - The cache must not change the copy-back path or the default store
overwrite.
> - This pull request adds that cache and keeps the existing flow
intact.
> - The benefit is repeatable host auth with safer identity scoping.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
- packages/adapters: Codex local adapter and host auth flow
**Problem or motivation**
- The host auth flow needs one usable credential per identity.
- The current flow does not keep that identity state in a separate
cache.
**Proposed solution**
- Add an identity-keyed host credential cache.
- Keep the cache company scoped.
- Add an opt-in seed mode for the merge decision helper.
- Write the cache at copy-back time without changing the default store
overwrite.
**Alternatives considered**
- Store the cache in the instance-global root.
- Seed the host default store through an environment flag.
- Both choices weaken isolation or caller control, so I did not use
them.
**Roadmap alignment**
- I checked `ROADMAP.md`.
- I found no direct overlap with an active roadmap item.
- The change fits the core auth and secrets direction.
**Additional context**
- Local tests passed before I opened this pull request.
- I found no direct duplicate pull request for this branch.
## What Changed
- Added `codex-auth-cache.ts` for company scoped cache storage and
identity anchored vending.
- Added `codex-auth-merge-decision.cjs` support for a leading
`--seed-if-dest-absent` flag.
- Updated `codex-auth-copyback.ts` to write the cache at teardown under
the merge lock.
- Wired `execute.ts` to use the identity anchored vend before the
managed home seed step.
- Added `CODEX-AUTH-CACHE.md` for the cache rules, directions, state
matrix, off switch, and clear action.
- Added and updated tests for cache behavior, merge decision flow, and
copy-back flow.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local exec vitest run`.
- `node_modules/.bin/vitest run --project @paperclipai/adapter-utils
workspace-restore-merge`.
- `tsc --noEmit` in `packages/adapters/codex-local`.
- `git log --oneline
origin/master..origin/feat/codex-auth-identity-cache` shows the expected
commits.
## Risks
- This change touches credential storage.
- A mistake in the cache path could break host auth for one identity.
- The tests reduce this risk, but the surface stays sensitive.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use enabled.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents move issues to `in_review` and rely on a "review path" (an
interaction, an approval, a monitor, or a named reviewer) to tell them
who decides next.
> - That review path can silently disappear. A user comment supersedes
the pending interaction, a monitor is exhausted, or a run ends without
restoring a path. The issue then sits in `in_review` with nobody
reviewing it and no visible action.
> - Such issues become invisible zombies. Nobody knows a decision is
owed, so the work stalls forever.
> - This pull request makes the review path a maintained invariant,
exposes a `reviewAttention` surface, and gives every stalled review
three inline actions in the UI.
> - The benefit is that an `in_review` issue always shows who reviews
it, or shows an amber "nobody is reviewing this" notice with one-click
Approve, Request changes, and Send back to work.

The review and attention loop that agents and humans share: the
`in_review` status, the `reviewAttention` surface, the /decisions
attention feed, and the issue-page review panel.
**Problem or motivation**
Agent-owned issues in `in_review` can lose their last review path. A
user comment supersedes the pending interaction. A monitor is exhausted.
A run ends without restoring a path. The issue then sits in `in_review`
with no reviewer and no visible action. It becomes an invisible zombie
and the work never progresses.
**Proposed solution**
Maintain the review path as a server invariant. Expose a
`reviewAttention` field that says what is under review, who decides, and
since when. Render a persistent review panel on the issue page and
inline actions on the /decisions feed. Keep human PATCHes into
`in_review` ungated, but record the requesting user so the panel never
renders empty.
**Alternatives considered**
A pure background auto-recovery sweep. This stays opt-in and is not
enough on its own, because it is invisible to the human. A bare status
banner. This is rejected, because it gives no action to resolve the
stall.
**Roadmap alignment**
This improves the core review and attention loop that both agents and
humans use every day.
## What Changed
- **Server — maintained review-path invariant:** when an issue enters or
sits in `in_review`, the server derives and persists a review path
(interaction, approval, monitor, or the requesting user) and recovers a
stale path with one bounded wake instead of leaving the issue pathless.
- **Server — `reviewAttention` surface:** a new field describes what is
under review (bound target with links), who decides, since when, and
whether the review is stalled. Stalled agent-assigned reviews are now
included in the attention feed.
- **Server — inline stalled-review decisions:** secured routes let a
permitted responder Approve (→ `done`), Request changes (→ `todo` + wake
carrying the note), or Send back to work (→ `todo` + wake) directly from
the attention feed.
- **Server — resume-intent wake:** an `in_review -> todo` transition now
wakes the assigned agent so a resumed review is not dropped.
- **Server — user-entry symmetry:** user PATCHes into `in_review` stay
ungated (no 422 for humans) and record the requesting user, who becomes
the named responder when no other path exists.
- **UI — review panel:** a persistent `IssueReviewPanel` renders above
the thread whenever status is `in_review`. The covered state shows the
bound target, responder, and outcomes and hoists the pending
interaction/approval card. The stalled state shows the amber notice plus
the three actions.
- **UI — decisions card actions:** the same three actions render inline
on the /decisions `AttentionQueueRow`.
- **UI — responsive fix:** the stalled action row stacks to full-width
buttons at phone width and returns to a horizontal row at `sm` and up.
New 390px stories capture the phone layout.
## Verification
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/IssueReviewPanel.test.tsx
src/components/AttentionQueueRow.test.tsx src/lib/attention.test.ts
src/api/issues.test.ts` — 91 tests pass.
- Server suites added and updated: `issue-review-attention`,
`issue-stalled-review-decision-routes`, `review-path-recovery`,
`recovery-observability`, and related route/liveness tests (run by CI).
- A designer reviewed the UI at 390px and desktop in light and dark
themes on both the issue-page panel and the /decisions card. The stalled
action row stacks cleanly at phone width with no overlap and keeps the
horizontal row on desktop.
## Risks
- **Migration:** adds migration `0200` (next after master `0199`, no
renumber). It extends the agent-wakeup-requests schema and is additive.
- **Behavioral shift:** `in_review -> todo` now dispatches a wake. This
is intended (resume intent) and covered by tests.
- **Authz:** the inline decision routes are permission-gated. Only a
permitted responder sees and can trigger the actions.
- Overall risk is moderate and contained to the review and attention
loop.

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

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

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

Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`), extended thinking enabled, agentic
tool use via Claude Code (CLI).

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip runs AI agents inside Daytona sandbox environments
> - The Daytona plugin wraps agent commands in bwrap to prevent
accidental writes outside the workspace
> - bwrap previously used `--unshare-user --uid <uid> --gid <gid>` to
run commands as the sandbox user inside the container
> - This creates a uid_map of `<uid> 0 1` — inside-uid maps to
outside-uid 0 (root)
> - Files owned by the sandbox user (outside-uid 1001) appear as
overflow uid 65534 (nobody) from inside the namespace
> - So all writes to the workspace fail with Permission denied, and the
agent cannot run
> - This PR replaces the user-namespace approach with `su -s /bin/sh
<user>`, which gives the correct uid mapping
> - The benefit is that bwrap works correctly on Daytona: writes succeed
and the advisory isolation is preserved
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue. Describing the bug inline per the bug report
template.
**What happened?**
Running a Codex agent in a Daytona sandbox failed immediately. The agent
could not create directories inside the workspace:
```
mkdir /home/daytona/paperclip-workspace/.paperclip-runtime/codex/paperclip-bridge/queue ... failed with exit code 1:
bwrap: Can't find source path /home/daytona/paperclip-workspace: Permission denied
```
Root cause: bwrap used `--unshare-user --uid 1001 --gid 1001` (via
sudo/root). This writes uid_map `1001 0 1` — inside-uid 1001 maps to
outside-uid 0. Files owned by outside-uid 1001 (the workspace) appear as
overflow uid 65534 (nobody) from inside the namespace. `--bind-try`
suppresses ENOENT but not EACCES, so the bind exits 0 and the wrapper
proceeds — but every write inside then fails with Permission denied.
The bwrap capability probe (`sudo -n bwrap --unshare-user --uid 0 --gid
0 --ro-bind / / -- true`) did not test the workspace bind or the su
invocation, so it incorrectly reported bwrap as available.
**Expected behavior**
The agent should start and run normally inside the Daytona sandbox.
Directory creation and file writes in the workspace should succeed.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Configure Paperclip with a Daytona sandbox provider
2. Start a Codex agent task targeting a Daytona sandbox
3. Observe the `adapter_failed` error: `mkdir ... failed with exit code
1: bwrap: Can't find source path /home/daytona/paperclip-workspace:
Permission denied`

failed with exit code 1: bwrap: Can't find source path /home/daytona/paperclip-workspace: Permission denied
(adapter_failed)
```
## What Changed
- Replaced `--unshare-user --uid <uid> --gid <gid>` with `su -s /bin/sh
<username>` in `buildBwrapCommand`. bwrap runs as real root (for
bind-mount capability), then `su` drops into the sandbox user. Inside
uid=1001 maps to outside uid=1001, so workspace files are writable.
- Removed `detectSandboxUidGid` (ran `id -u` + `id -g`). Added
`detectSandboxUsername` (runs `id -un`) — the username is what `su`
needs.
- Updated `detectBwrapAvailable` probe to test the actual invocation:
`sudo -n bwrap --ro-bind / / [--bind-try <workspace> <workspace>] -- su
-s /bin/sh '<user>' -c true`. This catches both the su failure mode and
the EACCES-on-workspace-bind case.
- Updated `detectBwrapCapability` to run sequentially (username first,
then probe with that username and remoteCwd).
- Replaced `sandboxUid`/`sandboxGid` in lease metadata with
`sandboxUsername`.
- All three `detectBwrapCapability` call sites now pass `remoteCwd`.
- Updated `BwrapExecPlan` type and `resolveBwrapExecPlan` to use
`username: string` instead of `identity: { uid, gid }`.
- Updated tests TDD-style: rewrote tests to describe the new behavior
first, then implemented to pass them.
## Verification
**SSH verification** (run against a live Daytona sandbox before writing
the fix):
```bash
# Old approach — fails
sudo -n bwrap --unshare-user --uid 1001 --gid 1001 \
--ro-bind / / --bind-try /home/daytona/paperclip-workspace /home/daytona/paperclip-workspace \
-- sh -c "mkdir -p /home/daytona/paperclip-workspace/test"
# → mkdir: cannot create directory: Permission denied
# New approach — works
sudo -n bwrap --ro-bind / / \
--bind-try /home/daytona/paperclip-workspace /home/daytona/paperclip-workspace \
-- su -s /bin/sh daytona -c "mkdir -p /home/daytona/paperclip-workspace/test && echo ok"
# → ok (files owned by uid 1001)
```
**Unit tests:**
```
cd packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona && npx vitest run
# 114 passed, 2 pre-existing failures (macOS tar compatibility in file-sync.ts, unrelated)
```
## Risks
- `su` must be available in the Daytona sandbox image. It is a standard
POSIX tool present in every image tested. If absent,
`detectBwrapAvailable` returns false and execution falls back to the
unwrapped path (same behavior as before).
- The advisory bwrap wrapper was never a security boundary — it is
best-effort. The behavioral change (root → sandbox user inside the
container) is strictly better: files created by the agent now have the
correct ownership.
- `sandboxUid` and `sandboxGid` are removed from lease metadata. Any
external code reading those fields will get `undefined`. They were only
used internally by `resolveBwrapExecPlan`, which now reads
`sandboxUsername`.
## Model Used
Claude Sonnet 4.6 (`claude-sonnet-4-6`) via Claude Code CLI — tool use
enabled, extended context. The model diagnosed the bug via SSH
inspection, designed the fix, and implemented it TDD-style (tests first,
then implementation).

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The decisions desk and queue help operators find work that needs a
human decision.
> - The current views use different grouping, sorting, and labels.
> - Repeated confirmation requests can also leave stale pending actions
in the queue.

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

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

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

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

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

context.
- Moved handshake sub-times and bridge batch data onto spans.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils run typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server run typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec vitest run`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
environment-execution-target`
- `git log --oneline
origin/master..origin/feat/sandbox-startup-otel-spans`
- `git diff origin/master...origin/feat/sandbox-startup-otel-spans
--stat`
## Risks
- Span attribute rules could still miss a future field if new code skips
the shared helper.
- Low-cardinality labels may hide some detail, but that is the intended
tradeoff.
- Tracing stays fail-open, so a missing tracer still hides data rather
than stopping work.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use enabled. The runtime did not expose the
context window size.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The issue properties panel can show external objects such as GitHub
pull requests.
> - Those objects are resolved by external-object providers and then
displayed as compact status labels.
> - A GitHub pull request could remain in the fallback `unknown` state
and appear as `Not yet resolved`.
> - That label is confusing when the object is known but has not been
refreshed yet.
> - This pull request refreshes due external objects from the heartbeat
scheduler and improves the unknown-status copy.
> - The benefit is a properties panel that moves from pending refresh to
the real pull request state without a manual refresh.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this bug. I searched for related
public issues and pull requests using the terms `Not yet refreshed`,
`external objects refresh`, and `external PR status`, and did not find a
duplicate implementation.
**What happened?**
The issue properties panel could show a GitHub pull request as `Not yet
resolved` even when the referenced pull request was valid. The object
stayed stale unless a manual refresh path ran.
**Expected behavior**
A known external object should show pending-refresh copy while it waits
for provider data. When the scheduler refreshes it, the properties panel
should show the provider status such as open, merged, or closed.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create or view an issue that references a GitHub pull request.
2. Open the issue properties panel.
3. Observe the external object row before a manual refresh has run.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Current `master` before this pull request.
**Deployment mode**
Local dev and self-hosted server.
**Installation method**
Built from source.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Access context**
Board view.
**Privacy checklist**
I reviewed this description and did not include logs, credentials,
private URLs, internal issue IDs, or PII.
## What Changed
- Added a heartbeat scheduler tick that refreshes due external objects
for active companies.
- Kept manual external-object refresh behavior on the same service path.
- Changed display copy so known provider objects use liveness labels
such as `Not yet refreshed`, while fresh unknown provider statuses show
`Status unavailable`.
- Added server and UI tests for scheduled refresh and label behavior.
## Verification
- `corepack pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/external-objects-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts

- `pnpm run typecheck:build-gaps`
- GitHub PR checks passed on head `0e7fcd30`
- Greptile reported 5/5 on head `0e7fcd30` with no unresolved review
threads
Notes:
- I ran recursive typecheck and build first. Both hit container resource
limits with exit 137 during concurrent package work, so I reran the
affected server and UI targets separately.
- An unrelated workspace-runtime auto-port test fails in this container
with a PID ownership mismatch. It is outside the files changed here.
## Risks
Low to medium risk.
The scheduler does more periodic external-object work, so the main risk
is extra provider refresh load. The implementation bounds the work to
active companies, due non-terminal objects, and 50 objects per company
per tick. The path also stays behind the external-objects experimental
setting.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 Codex in the Codex execution environment, with shell and
GitHub CLI tool use. The runtime did not expose a more specific internal
model ID or context window.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The codex-local adapter runs Codex agents through the ACP lane and
offers a "Test" button on the agent configuration page to validate the
environment
> - The environment test used its own ad-hoc credential probe, while
real dispatch uses the shared `evaluateCodexCredentialReadiness`
predicate in `codex-home.ts`
> - The two paths disagreed: a user with valid Codex subscription auth
in the shared, server-visible Codex home still saw "No Codex ACP
credentials were detected"
> - The old warning also suggested `codex login` without explaining that
a `/login` in a separate Codex or chat session does not authenticate the
Paperclip server process
> - This pull request makes `testCodexAcpEnvironment` use the same
shared readiness predicate as real dispatch and rewords the warning to
name the server credential boundary
> - The benefit is that the Test button now agrees with what dispatch
will actually do, and the warning tells the user exactly which process
needs the credentials
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this bug. Related credential-handling
work, not duplicates: Refs #10160 (classifies OpenAI invalid-key 401s at
dispatch time) and Refs #9598 (classifies Codex refresh auth failures).
Both cover dispatch-time failures; this PR fixes the pre-dispatch
environment test.
Description follows the bug report template:
**What happened?**
A user configured a Codex ACP agent and had already authenticated Codex
(subscription auth present in the shared Codex home visible to the
Paperclip server). Clicking "Test" on the agent configuration page still
reported:
`warn: No Codex ACP credentials were detected. Hint: Set OPENAI_API_KEY
or run codex login before starting a Codex ACP agent.`
**Expected behavior**
The environment test should detect the same credentials that real agent
dispatch would use. When shared managed Codex auth is available, the
test should pass with an informational check instead of warning. When
credentials really are missing, the warning should explain that the
Paperclip server process is the one that needs them.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the Paperclip server as an OS user whose shared Codex home
contains valid subscription `auth.json` (no `OPENAI_API_KEY` in the
adapter env or server env).
2. Configure an agent with the codex-local adapter using the ACP engine.
3. Click "Test" on the agent configuration page.
4. Observe the `codex_acp_credentials_missing` warning even though
dispatch would succeed.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Codex
**Additional context**
The confusion was amplified by the hint: users had run `/login` in a
Codex chat session and assumed the server was authenticated. That login
lives in a different process and home directory, so the server never saw
it.
## What Changed
- `testCodexAcpEnvironment`
(packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/acp.ts) now calls the shared
`evaluateCodexCredentialReadiness` predicate from `codex-home.ts`
instead of a local ad-hoc `hasCodexNativeCredentials` probe, so the Test
button and real dispatch agree.
- An explicit empty `OPENAI_API_KEY` in the adapter config env no longer
falls through to the server environment key.
- An externally managed `CODEX_HOME` override is now reported as its own
informational check (`codex_acp_external_home_configured`).
- The `codex_acp_credentials_missing` warning now says the credentials
must be visible to the Paperclip server, and the hint explains that a
`/login` in a separate Codex or chat session does not authenticate the
server.
- Removed the now-unused `hasCodexNativeCredentials` helper.
- Added two regression tests: shared managed Codex auth is detected (no
false warning), and the missing-credentials warning carries the new
server-boundary wording.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclip/adapter-codex-local test --
src/server/acp.test.ts` — the two new tests cover the shared-home
detection branch and the new warning wording; the existing ACP lane
tests cover the API-key and remote-target branches.
- Manual: with subscription auth in the server-visible shared Codex home
and no `OPENAI_API_KEY`, the agent configuration Test now reports
`codex_acp_native_auth_detected` (info) instead of
`codex_acp_credentials_missing` (warn).
## Risks
- Low risk. The change only affects the environment test path, not
dispatch. The readiness predicate is the same one dispatch already uses,
so drift between the two paths is now structurally prevented.
- Behavioral shift: an explicit empty adapter `OPENAI_API_KEY` no longer
silently falls back to the server env key in the test result. This
matches dispatch behavior and is intentional.
## Model Used
- Implementation authored by OpenAI Codex (gpt-5.5) running through the
Codex ACP lane with tool use.
- PR preparation, rebase onto master, and review fix-up by Anthropic
Claude (Claude Code CLI agent, extended thinking, tool use).

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

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

## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with `gpt-5.6-sol`. The model used tool calls, code
execution, database migration generation, and test execution. The
context-window size is not exposed in this runtime.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Isolated workspaces give each task a safe and reproducible checkout.
> - The existing setup cloned the development database before an agent
needed to run the app.
> - This made worktree creation slower and heavier for tasks that never
start a service.
> - Runtime services already use one server start path for heartbeat,
operator, and startup recovery flows.
> - This pull request moves heavy setup to that start path and keeps
worktree creation lean.
> - The benefit is faster isolated workspace creation with the same
reliable runtime setup when a service starts.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related pull request: #10652 covers the initial deferred
database-seeding slice. This pull request supersedes it with end-to-end
runtime provisioning and safe cleanup.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This improves isolated worktree creation, runtime service startup, and
isolated instance cleanup.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: CLI worktree setup, server runtime orchestration, shared
workspace contracts, and development scripts.
**Current behavior**
Paperclip seeds an isolated development database during worktree
creation. It can also leave an isolated instance directory after
workspace teardown. This work happens even when no runtime service
starts.
**Proposed behavior**
Paperclip creates the worktree with a lean eager setup. It runs an
idempotent runtime provision command before the first managed service
spawn. Concurrent starts share one provision attempt. Teardown removes
the isolated instance safely.
**Reason and benefit**
Many agent tasks only edit and test code. They do not need a running
Paperclip instance. Deferring the database seed reduces workspace
startup cost while preserving automatic setup for tasks that start the
app.
**Breaking changes**
None. The new runtime provision command is optional. Existing workspace
behavior is unchanged when it is absent.
## What Changed
- Split Paperclip worktree setup into a lean eager script and an
idempotent runtime provision script.
- Added `runtimeProvisionCommand` to project, issue, realized workspace,
and persisted workspace contracts.
- Added a per-workspace provision mutex before local service spawn for
heartbeat, operator, and startup recovery flows.
- Added a persisted `provisioning` service state and the
`workspace_runtime_provision` operation phase.
- Kept provision time outside the service readiness timeout and made
failed attempts visible and retryable.
- Reclaimed isolated instance data during safe workspace teardown.
- Serialized deferred database seeding across processes and bound
teardown to the instance root captured in persisted workspace metadata.
- Added tests for config flow, concurrency, retry, no-op behavior,
readiness timing, scripts, CLI commands, and cleanup.
- Documented the eager and runtime provisioning contracts.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm test:run` (server: 3,201 passed; UI: 3,345 passed; the CLI phase
exposed one environment-sensitive AWS doctor assertion because the agent
runtime injects static AWS credentials)
- `env -u AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -u AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY pnpm exec vitest
run cli/src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts -t 'passes AWS doctor checks when
non-secret provider config is present'`
- Focused runtime tests cover serialized provisioning, retry after
stderr failure, absent-command no-op behavior, operation logging,
persisted state order, and readiness timeout exclusion.
- Focused CLI and cleanup tests cover concurrent seed serialization,
stale-lock fail-closed behavior, persisted instance ownership, and
rewritten sibling pointers.
## Risks
- A faulty runtime provision script blocks service startup. Paperclip
records stderr, marks the service failed, and retries on the next start.
- Concurrent service requests share an in-process provision attempt,
while the seed command uses an atomic filesystem lock across processes.
A stale lock fails closed and requires an operator to verify no seed is
running before removing it.
- Isolated instance cleanup is destructive. The cleanup service
validates ownership and path containment before removal.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This pull request replaces the closed
[#10634](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/10634). It
combines that queue foundation with the dependent attention-feed change
as one review unit.
**Subsystem affected**
Database schema, shared contracts, server authorization and REST APIs,
and the UI attention client library.
**Problem or motivation**
The attention feed can contain hundreds of mixed decision items.
Operators cannot group them into durable queues, set a decision
deadline, snooze an item, or request a bounded page ordered by urgency.
The current client must download the full feed on each refresh.
**Proposed solution**
Store queue membership and triage state by stable attention identity.
Re-authorize each source during queue reads and writes. Enrich attention
items with queue, deadline, snooze, expiry, rule, and origin data. Add
activity and queue filters, opaque cursor pagination, decide-focused
ordering, and a decide-now count.
**Alternatives considered**
Adding queue fields to every source would duplicate schema and
authorization logic across eleven source kinds. Client-only filtering
and sorting would still transfer the full feed and would make pagination
unstable.
**Roadmap alignment**
This change improves the core decision-attention surface and operator
oversight. It does not implement the separate general-purpose work queue
milestone in `ROADMAP.md`.
## What Changed
- Added company-scoped queue, membership, triage, and append-only event
tables with actor and run provenance.
- Added queue CRUD, item membership, starter-rule discovery, and
decide-by and snooze endpoints.
- Kept source authorization on each queue mutation, read, and count.
- Added attention fields for expiry, rule, origin agent, queues,
decide-by attribution, and snooze state.
- Added activity date filters, queue filters, opaque cursor pagination,
and configurable page limits.
- Added decide-now ordering by deadline, expiry, severity, and activity.
- Added `decideNowCount` and excluded actively snoozed items from the
default feed.
- Updated the shared and UI client contracts.
- Added focused server, route, OpenAPI, and UI client tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/attention-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/decision-queues-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts ui/src/api/attention.test.ts
ui/src/lib/attention.test.ts` (72 tests passed)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`
- `pnpm -r --filter @paperclipai/db --filter @paperclipai/shared
--filter @paperclipai/server --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD`
## Risks
- The migration adds four company-scoped tables and provenance foreign
keys. Migration numbering and safety checks pass.
- Attention reads can lazily create starter queues and memberships.
Inserts are idempotent, audited, and transactional.
- Cursor validity depends on the filtered feed. The API returns a clear
validation error when the cursor item no longer exists in that feed.
- Queue reads re-check source visibility. This favors correct
authorization over fewer queries.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents escalate work up the org chart (`reports_to`), and operators
pause agents — notably, instance imports pause every agent by default
> - A paused manager does not invalidate the chain (subordinates stay
invokable), so nothing surfaces when an operator unpauses workers but
leaves their manager paused
> - Escalations then dead-letter silently: agent-created issues assigned
to the paused manager sit in a queue nothing will ever run
> - This pull request computes paused ancestors in the existing
org-chain health model and surfaces a non-blocking warning on the agent
read models and detail page
> - The benefit is that the operator learns their escalation paths are
dead before work vanishes into them
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#10647 (companion to #10648, which refuses agent-initiated
assignment to paused agents at write time — this PR makes the standing
hazard visible)
## What Changed
- `AgentOrgChainHealth` gains two additive, optional fields:
`pausedAncestors` (paused agents in the `reports_to` chain) and
`escalationWarning` (human-readable, only set when the agent itself can
work — a paused/terminated agent's escalation path is moot). Chain
validity, invokability, and assignability are byte-identical.
- No server route changes needed: the fields flow through every existing
agent read model (list, detail, org chart) since they ride the same
`getAgentWorkEligibility` computation.
- Agent detail page shows an amber "Escalation path is paused" banner
(same visual language as the invalid-chain banner, but non-blocking)
with the warning text naming the paused manager and the two remedies.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run packages/shared/src/agent-eligibility.test.ts` — 5
new cases: paused direct manager warns; paused grandparent through a
healthy manager warns; the agent itself paused → no warning (but
ancestors still reported); fully active chain → no warning, empty list;
terminated ancestor keeps the invalid-chain classification without
double-counting as paused.
- Full `@paperclipai/shared` suite (392 tests) and
`agent-eligibility-routes` (54) unchanged.
- `tsc --noEmit` in shared, server, and ui.
## Risks
- Low. Purely additive fields plus one UI banner; no behavior gates on
the new data.

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

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - An agent that runs in a sandbox has its workspace copied back to the
host when the run ends, so its work persists — the copy-back ships a git
bundle of the sandbox's commits
> - The bundle is created as a thin delta, `git bundle create HEAD --not
<baseSha>`, which records `baseSha` (the host workspace HEAD captured at
export) as a prerequisite the host must already hold
> - That assumption breaks when the sandbox HEAD has diverged from
`baseSha`, or when a shared host workspace no longer holds `baseSha` at
import time — then `git fetch` on the host hard-fails and the entire run
is lost even though the agent finished its work
> - This pull request bundles against the merge-base of `baseSha` and
the sandbox HEAD (with a full-bundle fallback), which the host can
satisfy in those cases
> - The benefit is that copy-back no longer discards a completed run's
work over a base the host can't reconcile
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A sandbox agent run completed its work, then failed during workspace
finalize:
```
git -C <host workspace> fetch --force <git-delta.bundle> refs/…/export:refs/…/imported
error: Could not read <baseSha>
fatal: revision walk setup failed
error: git-delta.bundle did not send all necessary objects
```
The run is reported as `adapter_failed` even though the agent produced
output. The copy-back bundle names the host workspace's recorded HEAD
(`baseSha`) as a prerequisite, but the host cannot satisfy it.
**Steps to reproduce**
Two independent triggers, both reproduced in tests:
1. The sandbox's HEAD has diverged from `baseSha` — e.g. the sandbox
carries a local-only branch that forked from an older commit than the
host's current HEAD.
2. The shared host workspace no longer holds `baseSha` at import time
(it was reset / re-realized between export and import).
In either case `git fetch` of the thin bundle fails with a missing
prerequisite.
**Expected behavior**
Copy-back imports the sandbox's work as long as the host holds any
common ancestor, instead of hard-failing and discarding the run.
**Paperclip version**
Current `master`.
**Deployment mode**
Any deployment running agents in sandbox environments with workspace
sync (notably shared-workspace clones and custom images that carry a
local-ahead branch).
## What Changed
- `buildRemoteGitDeltaBundleScript` now computes `bundle_base = git
merge-base <baseSha> HEAD` and bundles `HEAD --not <bundle_base>`. The
merge-base is an ancestor of `baseSha`, so any host that holds `baseSha`
(or an ancestor of it — e.g. after a reset) can satisfy the
prerequisite, and the bundle stays a delta rather than a full-history
transfer.
- When `baseSha` is absent from the sandbox, or no merge-base exists, it
falls back to a full, self-contained bundle (no prerequisites) so the
import can always complete.
- The existing empty-bundle no-op (no new commits) and the ordinary
fast-forward path are unchanged; the `cat-file` base check no longer
aborts the script under `set -e`.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/git-workspace-sync.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts` — new cases:
a diverged sandbox HEAD imports when the host holds only the merge-base
(not `baseSha`), and the full-bundle fallback imports into a host that
shares no history; existing thin-delta and empty-bundle cases still
pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec tsc --noEmit`.
- Standalone shell repro confirmed the old thin bundle fails with
"Repository lacks these prerequisite commits" in both trigger cases, and
the merge-base bundle imports successfully.
## Risks
- Low. For the common case (sandbox HEAD descends from `baseSha`) the
merge-base is `baseSha`, so the bundle is byte-for-byte the same delta
as before. The change only alters behavior when the old code would have
hard-failed.
- This makes the copy-back import succeed on a diverged base; the
subsequent reconciliation of divergent histories
(`integrateImportedGitHead`) is unchanged and still owns how the
imported head is merged into the host branch. Where a workspace's
history has genuinely diverged (e.g. a stale custom image carrying a
local-only branch), a clean re-clone/re-capture is still the right
operational fix — this change prevents work loss, it does not reconcile
intentional divergence.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A Codex agent runs `codex exec`, and the adapter assembles its
argument vector from the agent's config plus execution-context options
> - For sandbox execution the adapter injects `--skip-git-repo-check`,
because a headless remote workspace has no git trust prompt to answer
> - The adapter also appends the operator's `extraArgs` verbatim, so an
agent that already lists `--skip-git-repo-check` in its config gets the
flag twice on a sandbox run
> - `codex exec` rejects a repeated `--skip-git-repo-check` and exits
with code 2, which the adapter surfaces as `adapter_failed` before any
work runs
> - This pull request skips the sandbox injection when the operator's
args already carry the flag
> - The benefit is that a common, harmless-looking config no longer
crashes every sandbox run
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A `codex_local` agent configured with `extraArgs:
["--skip-git-repo-check"]` fails on every sandbox run:
```
error: the argument '--skip-git-repo-check' cannot be used multiple times
Usage: codex exec [OPTIONS] [PROMPT]
```
The adapter reports `stopReason: "adapter_failed"` (Codex exited with
code 2). The flag appears twice in the argv: once injected by the
adapter for sandbox execution, once from the operator's `extraArgs`.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Configure a `codex_local` agent with `extraArgs:
["--skip-git-repo-check"]` (or the legacy `args` field).
2. Point it at a sandbox environment.
3. Start a run — `codex exec` aborts immediately on the duplicate flag.
**Expected behavior**
The run launches with a single `--skip-git-repo-check`. An operator
listing the flag the adapter already injects should be a no-op, not a
hard failure.
**Paperclip version**
Current `master`.
**Deployment mode**
Any deployment running Codex agents in sandbox environments.
## What Changed
- `buildCodexExecArgs` no longer pushes the sandbox
`--skip-git-repo-check` when the resolved args (`extraArgs`, or the
legacy `args` fallback) already contain it. The operator's copy stands;
the argv carries the flag exactly once. Non-sandbox runs and configs
without the flag are unchanged.
## Verification
- `cd packages/adapters/codex-local && pnpm vitest run
src/server/codex-args.test.ts` — new cases: `extraArgs` already carrying
the flag (single occurrence), the legacy `args` field carrying it
(single occurrence), and the operator's flag preserved when the sandbox
injection is not requested. Existing "adds --skip-git-repo-check when
requested" case unchanged.
- `cd packages/adapters/codex-local && pnpm vitest run` — full package
suite (218 tests).
- `pnpm run typecheck` in the package.
## Risks
- Low. The change only suppresses a duplicate of a single, idempotent
flag; it never removes an operator-supplied argument and never adds one
that was not already going to be present.
## Model Used

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

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents update tasks through the issue API.
> - The update response did not state which values changed.
> - Blocker updates also did not echo the scalar blocker IDs.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies
> - Operators need a predictable installation path that survives beyond
an ephemeral `npx` process
> - A durable installation needs an owned per-user payload store, stable
command shim, safe shell integration, and supported service lifecycle
> - Updates must preserve recoverability by backing up data, installing
side-by-side, verifying the new payload, and retaining rollback state
> - Bootstrap scripts and privileged service operations must fail closed
across download, filesystem, ownership, and consent boundaries
> - This pull request integrates managed install, update, rollback,
service, uninstall, doctor, bootstrap-installer, and runtime-serving
support into one workflow
> - The benefit is a recoverable, inspectable, and documented
installation lifecycle with explicit safety boundaries across Linux,
macOS, containers, WSL, npm, npx, and source checkouts
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Problem
Paperclip lacks a first-class durable installation and lifecycle
workflow. Operators currently have to assemble npm/npx installation,
PATH setup, background-service management, updates, rollback,
diagnostics, and uninstall behavior themselves. That makes upgrades
harder to recover, creates inconsistent behavior across platforms, and
leaves shell/download/service trust boundaries without one documented
implementation.
### Proposed Solution
Add a managed per-user install store and stable shim, a verified shell
bootstrap installer, service lifecycle commands, install-mode-aware
update/rollback behavior, doctor checks, and documentation. Managed
updates back up the database, install and smoke-test a side-by-side
payload, atomically switch `current`, and retain prior payloads. The
shell installer pins registry/download trust boundaries and requires
explicit consent for non-interactive privileged actions.
### Alternatives Considered
- Keep recommending `npx`: simple for evaluation, but ephemeral and
unsuitable for stable services, atomic updates, or rollback.
- Require global npm installation only: familiar, but cannot provide the
owned side-by-side payload store and retained rollback semantics.
- Split the capability across multiple PRs: rejected because install,
update, service, uninstall, bootstrap, and serving behavior share
contracts and security boundaries that need review together.
### Related Pull Requests
- Supersedes #10042 and #10044 with one integrated final diff.
- Incorporates and replaces the closed preparatory work in #10032 and
#10034.
## What Changed
- Added `paperclipai install`, `update`/`upgrade`, rollback, uninstall,
service lifecycle, onboarding integration, and managed-install doctor
checks.
- Added a private managed payload store, verified manifest/marker
ownership, exclusive mutation locks, atomic manifest/current/shim
writes, retained previous payloads, and provenance validation.
- Added npm and GitHub-ref install sources with exact target resolution,
registry isolation, database backup, side-by-side verification, atomic
activation, service restart coordination, and failure rollback.
- Made managed-update backups report actionable service-start and
`--no-backup` recovery guidance for unreachable databases, while clean
never-onboarded instances skip an empty backup.
- Added systemd user and launchd service definitions, status/health/log
commands, single-instance coordination, stale-port recovery, and
explicit sudo/lingering consent handling.
- Added the `scripts/install.sh` bootstrap path with checked two-stage
downloads, pinned public npm registry usage, platform checks,
dry-run/non-interactive controls, and Docker fixtures.
- Added embedded Postgres/native bootstrap integration,
hot-restart/systemd-notify serving support, passive update notices,
configuration contracts, README/CLI/install documentation, and focused
regression tests.
- Security re-review should explicitly re-verify: (1)
`addManagedPathBlock`/`removeManagedPathBlock` reject symlinked or
non-regular rc files, assert current-user ownership, preserve
restrictive modes, and replace atomically; (2) managed shim replacement
rejects unsafe parents, foreign-owned or multiply linked files, and uses
checked atomic replacement; (3) the shell installer and sudo path
preserve explicit consent and checked downloads; and (4) installed
service/runtime serving remains bound to the validated managed shim and
instance configuration.
## Verification
- `bash -n scripts/install.sh scripts/clean-install-git.sh
scripts/clean-install-npm.sh scripts/test-install-sh-docker.sh`
- `pnpm exec vitest run cli/src/__tests__/install-store.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/install-command.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/managed-install-check.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/onboard-service.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/service-health-check.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/service-manager.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/update-command.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/update-notice.test.ts
packages/db/src/embedded-postgres-native.test.ts` — 9 files, 66 tests
passed
- `pnpm --dir cli typecheck`
- `pnpm --dir cli build`
- Follow-up verification: `pnpm exec vitest run
cli/src/__tests__/update-command.test.ts` (14/14), `pnpm --dir cli
typecheck`, `pnpm --dir cli build`, and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck`.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- Full `pnpm test:run` exercised all suites; an injected static AWS
credential changed one unrelated doctor expectation, which passed when
those credentials were removed. A second run cleared that case and
exposed stale pre-existing adapter-utils `dist` output; rebuilding
`@paperclipai/adapter-utils` made the isolated test pass. The updated PR
CI is the authoritative clean-workspace full-suite run.
## Risks
- Installer/update code writes executable shims, symlinks, shell rc
blocks, service definitions, and managed payloads; ownership,
regular-file, symlink, hard-link, marker, and path-containment checks
fail closed before destructive changes.
- The bootstrap installer executes downloaded tooling; downloads are
staged and checked before execution, npm traffic is pinned to the public
registry, and non-interactive privileged behavior requires explicit
consent.
- Linux lingering may invoke `sudo`; the command is surfaced and
confirmed before execution, and unsupported service managers fall back
to foreground-run guidance.
- Database migrations remain forward-only; payload rollback does not
reverse migrations, so managed updates create a backup before activation
unless explicitly disabled.
- Service restart and runtime serving touch process/port ownership;
lifecycle locks, health/version checks, and stable-shim service
definitions reduce split-brain and stale-process risk.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage AI
agents for work.
> - Local agent heartbeats need durable process identity so the server
can supervise them.
> - The ACPX runtime owns the child process used by `codex_local`
sessions.
> - ACPX did not expose the child PID and start time to the Paperclip
adapter.
> - Warm ACPX runtimes can also serve a later heartbeat without a new
spawn event.
> - A hot restart could therefore classify a live Codex run as lost
because its heartbeat row had no process identity.

compatible warm heartbeats, and fails closed when identity cannot be
persisted.

Codex runs.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No matching public GitHub issue was found.
**What happened?**
A `codex_local` heartbeat could run through ACPX without a persisted
`processPid` or `processStartedAt`. A Paperclip hot restart then had no
durable identity for the live ACP child. Recovery could classify the run
as `process_lost` even while the child was still alive.
**Expected behavior**
ACPX reports the real child PID and start time before the first prompt.
A compatible warm runtime reports the same known identity to each later
heartbeat that reuses the child. ACPX stops the child if the identity is
invalid or persistence fails. Hot-restart recovery can then adopt the
live run.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a `codex_local` heartbeat through the ACPX execution lane.
2. Keep the run active during a Paperclip hot restart.
3. Inspect the heartbeat row before this change.
4. Observe that the process identity can be null and recovery cannot
adopt the live child.
**Reproduced on**
- Paperclip `master` before this change.
- Linux source deployment.
- `codex_local` with ACPX `0.12.0`.
## What Changed
- Add an awaited `onAgentSpawn` lifecycle hook to the patched ACPX
runtime.
- Forward the ACP child PID and start time through the adapter `onSpawn`
callback.
- Keep a mutable callback sink for cached runtimes so a later respawn
updates the current heartbeat.
- Reuse the last known process identity when a compatible warm heartbeat
reuses the existing child.
- Kill the ACP child and fail session startup when the PID is invalid or
identity persistence rejects.
- Add ACPX and heartbeat recovery tests for callback ordering, warm
reuse, failure cleanup, durable row identity, and hot-restart adoption.
- Document the one-time drain required when an installed pre-fix run
already lacks process metadata.
## Verification
-

pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts` — 89 passed.

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

## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex used GPT-5.3-Codex for the earlier implementation.
- OpenAI Codex used GPT-5 for the lifecycle-hook revision and the
current fail-closed review fix. The runtime did not expose a more
specific snapshot ID or context-window size. Both runs used reasoning,
repository tools, and code execution.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This change touches server orchestration, sandbox
transport, and observability.
**Problem or motivation**
A run can @-mention another project. Local targets stage each referenced
project and give the agent a path. Remote confined sandboxes dropped the
full referenced set, so the agent could not read those project files or
paths.
**Proposed solution**
Enable referenced-project sync for the confined sandbox transport behind
`PAPERCLIP_MULTI_PROJECT_WORKSPACE_SYNC_REMOTE`, which defaults on. Keep
the SSH transport out of scope and keep it dropping referenced projects.
Repoint each referenced workspace hint at its staged
`project-<projectId>` sandbox directory. Publish
`PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACES_JSON` on the confined sandbox lane. Count each
per-project remote staging failure as a `staging` failure in the
requested-vs-synced metrics.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep the remote path drop-only. That keeps the gap open. Move the change
into SSH too. That expands scope beyond the target transport and adds
risk.
**Roadmap alignment**
No matching item in `ROADMAP.md` showed up in this review.
**Additional context**
The change lands in three commits. The first commit opens the gate for
the confined sandbox transport. The second commit repoints the workspace
hints and publishes the workspace map. The third commit records
per-project staging failure data.
## What Changed
- Opened remote referenced-project sync for the confined sandbox
transport behind `PAPERCLIP_MULTI_PROJECT_WORKSPACE_SYNC_REMOTE`.
- Repointed referenced workspace hints to the staged
`project-<projectId>` sandbox directories and published
`PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACES_JSON`.
- Counted per-project remote staging failures as first-class `staging`
failures in the requested-vs-synced observability.
## Verification
- The pushed ref
`refs/heads/feat/sync-referenced-projects-remote-sandbox` resolves to
the authorized submit SHA.
- `git log --oneline
origin/master..origin/feat/sync-referenced-projects-remote-sandbox`
shows exactly the three expected commits.
- The handoff reports server typecheck clean, adapter-utils typecheck
clean, and the listed unit tests passing.
- The handoff also reports no open review comments and no Greptile score
yet.
## Risks
- The change touches authorization and sandbox path handling, so
regressions could block remote runs or expose the wrong project context.
- The new flag defaults on, so any bug in the remote path affects normal
remote use.
- SSH stays out of scope, so the two transport paths must remain
distinct.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 via Codex. Tool use enabled. Context window not reported in
this run.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents via pluggable server-side adapters,
one per provider / CLI backend
> - Each adapter package exposes a server entry point
(`@paperclipai/adapter-<name>/server`) that downstream consumers —
including plugin adapters that wrap or extend the stock behavior —
re-use for helper functions
> - `gemini-local`'s server entry re-exports a curated set of parse
helpers from `./parse.js` (`parseGeminiJsonl`,
`isGeminiUnknownSessionError`, `describeGeminiFailure`,
`detectGeminiAuthRequired`, `isGeminiTurnLimitResult`) so consumers can
classify provider output without reaching into the package's internals
> - `detectGeminiQuotaExhausted` lives in the same `parse.ts` file next
to `detectGeminiAuthRequired`, is defined with `export function`, and is
the package's single source of truth for "is this output a Gemini quota
hit?" — but it is missing from the entry-point re-export block
> - As a result, any consumer that wants to classify quota exhaustion
either has to deep-import from `./server/parse.js` (brittle against
future `exports`-field changes) or reimplement the regex locally (drift
risk against the authoritative heuristic)
> - This pull request adds `detectGeminiQuotaExhausted` to the existing
re-export block, placed next to its thematic sibling
`detectGeminiAuthRequired`, with no other changes
> - The benefit is one extra supported public symbol on
`@paperclipai/adapter-gemini-local/server` — a purely additive ergonomic
improvement with no behavior change and no existing consumer impact
## What Changed
- `packages/adapters/gemini-local/src/server/index.ts`: added
`detectGeminiQuotaExhausted` to the `export { ... } from "./parse.js"`
block, inserted between `detectGeminiAuthRequired` and
`isGeminiTurnLimitResult` (thematic grouping — both `detect*` helpers)
## Verification
Local verification against the branch commit (base: `upstream/master` at
`b649bd45`):
```

> tsc --noEmit
(exit 0)
$ pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-gemini-local build

✓ gemini execute > always passes --approval-mode yolo
✓ gemini execute > uses a compact wake delta instead of the full heartbeat prompt when resuming a session
Test Files 1 passed (1)
Tests 3 passed (3)
```
Existing-consumer check — all references to `detectGeminiQuotaExhausted`
anywhere in the tree:
```
packages/adapters/gemini-local/src/server/index.ts:9 (this PR's new re-export)
packages/adapters/gemini-local/src/server/parse.ts:253 (the definition)
packages/adapters/gemini-local/src/server/test.ts:19 (intra-package import from "./parse.js")
packages/adapters/gemini-local/src/server/test.ts:174 (intra-package usage)
```
No cross-package consumer references the symbol today, so the new
re-export cannot break any existing import. It is strictly additive to
the public surface of `@paperclipai/adapter-gemini-local/server`.
## Risks
None. Purely additive re-export of a symbol that is already a named
export on `./parse.ts`. The clean-success path, failure paths, and all
other adapter behavior are untouched. No existing consumer is affected.
## Model Used
- **Provider**: Anthropic

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

#10541

> - The benefit is safer isolation without changing the current runtime
contract
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- No public GitHub issue exists for this work.
- Related PR: #10541
Problem:
The Daytona execute seam can run commands without the advisory bwrap
wrapper when the lease does not yet provide the wrapper data.
Proposed solution:
Activate the advisory bwrap wrapper when the lease reports bwrap support
and a known uid or gid. Keep plain execution when wrap is not safe.
Alternatives:
- Always wrap every command. This can break current behavior and can
create root-owned files when the uid or gid is missing.
- Reject execution when bwrap is missing. This can fail a lease for a
best-effort wrapper and would change the current runtime contract.
Roadmap alignment:
This work fits the Cloud / Sandbox agents roadmap area.
## What Changed
- `executeOneShot` now accepts a bwrap execution plan.
- `onEnvironmentExecute` now reads the lease bwrap flags and the
writable sync paths.
- A helper resolves when the seam should wrap the command.
- The writable set now includes the workspace path and the collected
read-write sync destinations.
- The wrapper re-binds stdin after the fresh `/tmp` mount.
- The README explains the advisory wrapper behavior and the writable set
model.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-daytona exec vitest run
plugin.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-daytona exec tsc --noEmit`
## Risks
- A missing bwrap tool, a missing `sudo -n` rule, or a blocked user
namespace keeps plain execution.
- The change shifts the execute seam, so command setup needs careful
review.
- The wrapper is advisory, so it does not add a security boundary by
itself.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use, code execution.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Problem or motivation
The Daytona sandbox provider needs a clear advisory wrapper path and
best-effort capability checks.
The provider must not fail a lease when the host lacks bubblewrap
support.
The wrapper must stay advisory only.
It must not change the security model.
### Proposed solution
Add a pure command builder for the advisory wrapper and non-throwing
probes for bubblewrap and sandbox uid or gid data.
Store the probe result on the lease metadata so later steps can make a
stable choice.
Keep the execution seam unchanged.
### Alternatives considered
Do nothing and keep the current execution seam unchanged.
That path gives no signal when a file change is not durable.
This pull request adds the signal without changing runtime behavior.
### Roadmap alignment
This work fits the Daytona sandbox provider path and keeps the advisory
wrapper outside the execution seam.
It does not change the current security model.
### Additional context
The wrapper is advisory only.
It adds no security.
The read-only root is a feedback signal.
## What Changed
- Added `buildBwrapCommand` as a pure string builder for the advisory
wrapper command.
- Added `detectBwrapAvailable` and `detectSandboxUidGid` as best-effort
probes that never throw.
- Stored `bwrapAvailable`, `sandboxUid`, and `sandboxGid` on the lease
metadata in the acquire, resume, and probe hooks.
- Added a README section that describes the advisory wrapper model.
- Kept the execution seam unchanged.
## Verification
- `vitest run` for
`packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/src/plugin.test.ts`
- The run passed all 106 tests, including the new builder and probe
coverage.
- The standalone `tsc` run showed only the known baseline noise that
already exists on `master`.
## Risks
- Risk is low because the execution seam does not change.
- The new wrapper stays advisory and does not alter the sandbox security
model.
- The probe results only add metadata and do not fail the lease on
missing host support.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The database layer uses embedded Postgres for isolated test runs
> - A port probe can fail when another process takes the same port
before Postgres binds it
> - That race can make a test fail even when the code under test is fine
> - This pull request adds bounded retry and clearer error text to the
embedded Postgres start path
> - The benefit is more stable tests and faster diagnosis when startup
still fails
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this change.
This PR fixes a flaky embedded Postgres test start path.
The helper can lose a port between probe and bind.
This PR retries the start with a fresh port and a fresh data directory.
Related public context:
- Refs #7259
- Refs #9769
## What Changed
- Add bounded retry around embedded Postgres initialization and start.
- Stop each failed attempt and remove its data directory before the next
attempt.
- Capture Postgres output in the thrown error so the failure is easier
to read.
- Add unit coverage for retry success, retry exhaustion, and the
improved error text.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db exec vitest run
src/test-embedded-postgres.test.ts src/embedded-postgres-error.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db exec vitest run`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db exec vitest run` passed in the worktree
after the change.
- `worktree.test.ts > quarantines copied live execution state in seeded
worktree databases` passed.
- A real cluster loop of 100 starts passed with 0 failures.
## Risks
- The retry can hide a real startup fault until the fifth try.
- The bound keeps the wait short, and the final error still shows the
captured Postgres log.
- This change only affects the embedded Postgres test start helper.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool-use enabled.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for AI agent companies
> - Sandbox providers move files between the host and the sandbox
> - The runtime needs advisory data for which sync paths are writable
> - The host already knows that intent when it prepares the sync map
> - Daytona can record that intent for later use
> - This pull request adds the advisory access field and collects
writable paths
> - The benefit is that later runtime work can use the data without
changing current flow
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this change. The description below
follows the feature-request template fields.
### Problem or motivation
An agent runs inside an ephemeral sandbox. Some sandbox paths keep agent
changes; other paths do not. Today the runtime has no declared signal
for which sync destinations the agent may change and keep. A later
feedback wrapper needs this signal to give the agent real-time feedback
when a write lands on a non-persistent path.
### Proposed solution
Add an optional advisory `access: "rw" | "ro"` field to the sync
file-mapping types. The host sets `rw` for the workspace, git-history,
and asset destinations, and `ro` for referenced-project trees. An absent
value defaults to `ro`. The Daytona provider collects the `rw` target
directories into a per-lease writable set for later use. This change
adds the metadata and the collection only. No execution path reads the
writable set yet, so runtime behavior does not change.
### Alternatives considered
Derive a static writable set in provider code. This alternative is
weaker: the layer that authors each sync destination already knows the
intent, so a per-operation declaration is more accurate and does not
hard-code a path list.
### Roadmap alignment
This is the first step toward an advisory sandbox feedback wrapper. The
wrapper is best-effort and adds no security. The ephemeral sandbox stays
the only boundary.
### Additional context
The field is advisory metadata. It does not change the file transfer and
adds no security.
## What Changed
- Added an optional `access` field to the sync file mapping types.
- Set the workspace, git history, and asset destinations to writable.
- Set referenced project destinations to read only.
- Added a writable set store in the Daytona provider.
- Recorded the parent directory of each writable sync mapping during
sync in.
## Verification
- The handoff reports these checks before push.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec vitest run
sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk exec tsc --noEmit`
- `vitest run src/plugin.test.ts` in the Daytona package
- `tsc --noEmit` in the Daytona package
## Risks
- Low risk.
- The new field is advisory.
- The writable set store is best effort and in memory.
- A cold store falls back to the workspace baseline.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use, code execution.

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

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

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

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents draw writing behavior from installable skills in the shipped
skills catalog (`packages/skills-catalog`)
> - Agent-authored comments, plans, and documents are often wordy or
ambiguous, which slows human readers
> - A small, opt-in skill can set a clear house style for user-facing
prose without touching agent code
> - This pull request adds an optional `simplified-english` catalog
skill that tells agents to write user-facing comments, plans, and
documents in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English
> - The benefit is shorter, unambiguous, one-meaning-per-sentence
writing that readers understand on the first pass
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
<!-- Feature request (no public GitHub issue). Described inline per
CONTRIBUTING.md → "Link Issues or Describe Them In-PR". -->
**Problem or motivation**
Agent-authored user-facing text (issue comments, plans, documents) is
frequently long-winded, uses inconsistent vocabulary, and packs multiple
instructions into one sentence. Readers have to re-read it. There is no
shared, installable house style for clear technical writing.
**Proposed solution**
Add an optional content skill, `simplified-english`, to the shipped
catalog. It instructs agents to write user-facing comments, plans, and
documents using only ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English (short
sentences, one instruction each, approved single-meaning words, active
voice, present tense). Orgs opt in by installing it.
**Alternatives considered**
Baking the guidance into every agent's base instructions (too broad, not
opt-in) or a bundled skill (would apply everywhere by default). An
optional skill keeps it opt-in per org.
**Roadmap alignment**
Additive, opt-in catalog content only; no core behavior change.
## What Changed
- Add
`packages/skills-catalog/catalog/optional/content/simplified-english/SKILL.md`
— a short optional skill instructing agents to write user-facing
comments, plans, and documents in ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical
English. Includes an "Approved words" section that identifies the
controlled vocabulary (the ASD-STE100 Dictionary) and gives concrete
house-choice substitutions.
- Regenerate `packages/skills-catalog/generated/catalog.json` via
`build:manifest` so the manifest includes the new skill.
- Pin the new catalog key in
`packages/skills-catalog/src/shipped-catalog.test.ts`.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/skills-catalog build:manifest` → wrote
manifest with the new skill.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/skills-catalog validate` → "Catalog
manifest is valid".
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/skills-catalog test` → the catalog
set/count/key pinning tests pass with the new skill included.
- Confirmed the generated entry: key
`paperclipai/optional/content/simplified-english`, trustLevel
`markdown_only`, description within the 300-char budget cap.
## Risks
Low risk. Additive, markdown-only optional skill plus a regenerated
manifest and a pinning-test update. No runtime code, migrations, or
workflow changes. Not installed by default (`defaultInstall: false`).
## Model Used
Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context), extended thinking, with tool use / code
execution.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Cloud and sandbox agents need less round-trip overhead at workspace
start
> - The workspace start path now uploads the git history and the working
tree overlay in two separate sync operations
> - That adds extra mkdir, guard, upload, and rename work for the same
workspace bytes
> - This pull request merges those two uploads into one guarded sync
operation
> - The benefit is one sync round trip for the workspace bytes with the
same guard and login-shell contract
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this change.
### Problem
A git-backed workspace start uploads the git-history clone and the
working-tree overlay as two separate host-to-sandbox sync operations.
### Proposed Solution
Merge the two uploads into one sync operation. Keep both tar mappings
under the same confinement guard. Run the git-history extract first,
then the overlay extract, then optional cleanup.
### Alternatives Considered
Keep two sync operations. That keeps the current round-trip cost and
duplicates the guard, upload, and rename work.
### Roadmap Alignment
This change supports the roadmap work on cloud and sandbox agents by
reducing workspace start overhead.
## What Changed
- Merge the git-history tar and the working-tree overlay tar into one
sync operation.
- Run the git-history extract first, then the overlay extract, then
optional remove-deleted-paths cleanup.
- Keep both temporary tar targets under the runtime directory so the
first extract cannot delete the second tar before use.
- Keep the symlink-escape guard, login-shell contract, and file-mapping
checks on the merged file set.
## Verification
- `tsc --noEmit` on `@paperclipai/adapter-utils`
- `@paperclipai/adapter-utils` full project test suite: 354 pass / 4
skipped
- Orchestrator proof: one merged operation with both tars and two
ordered extract commands
- Orchestrator proof: the confinement guard covers both tar mappings
- Daytona plugin `plugin.test.ts`: 94 pass
## Risks
- Any regression in the extract order could change workspace start
behavior.
- Any regression in the merged guard could block valid uploads or miss
an escape attempt.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5, tool use enabled, current Codex session.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for AI agents.
> - Sandbox startup uses bridge directories and a Daytona workspace
handle.
> - The cold path made repeat directory creation calls and one avoidable
handle fetch.
> - Those calls add delay but do not change state.
> - This pull request folds the bridge directory setup into one exec,
removes redundant process-session setup, and seeds the Daytona handle
cache at acquire.
> - The benefit is fewer deterministic host-to-sandbox round trips and
faster cold starts.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Problem: Cold sandbox start does extra directory creation work and
re-fetches a handle it already has.
- Expected result: The startup path should create each directory once
and reuse the fresh handle.
- Related PRs I found on GitHub: #9280, #9293.
## What Changed
- Added `makeDirs` to the bridge queue client and used one `mkdir -p`
exec for the callback bridge directories.
- Removed the two upfront `mkdir` execs for the process-session bridge
stdin and events directories.
- Seeded the Daytona sandbox handle cache at acquire so realize can
reuse the fresh handle.
- Reset the process-scoped cache in the compatibility test so the second
sync run sees the expected exec count.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec vitest run` - 351
passed, 4 skipped.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/sandbox-provider-daytona exec vitest run`
- 91 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec tsc --noEmit` - clean.
- I checked `ROADMAP.md` for sandbox round-trip work. I found no
duplicate planned core work for this change.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change removes redundant calls and adds cache seeding.
- A wrong cache scope would hide the handle. The seed now checks the
lease scope and fails loudly.
- The daytona package `tsc --noEmit` still depends on SDK types that are
not installed in this isolated workspace. CI covers that path.
## Model Used
- OpenAI GPT-5, tool-using, with code execution in the current
workspace.

## What Changed
- Thread additional referenced-project sources through the run prepare
path and the runtime layers.
- Stage each referenced project into its own `project-<projectId>`
directory under the runtime root.
- Keep the anchor workspace history and overlay semantics unchanged.
- Fail closed on confinement or sync errors for one project, and keep
the other projects running.
- Keep the path inert by default behind the multi-project workspace-sync

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The sandbox exec path starts agent commands and passes runtime
options to the server and plugin layers
> - This path kept a noProfile flag after the exec wrappers stopped

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip keeps agent work on a controlled execution plane.
> - Sandbox exec wrappers run on the hot path for agent commands.
> - The current change removes the explicit `nvm.sh` load step from
those wrappers.
> - The sandbox image already restores PATH through profile startup.
> - This pull request keeps profile sourcing where the wrapper still
needs it and drops only the `nvm.sh` load step.
> - The result is a smaller command path with the same node and agent
CLI resolution.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this change.
Problem:
The sandbox exec wrappers spent extra time sourcing `nvm.sh` before each
command.
The sandbox image already restores PATH in
`/etc/profile.d/00-restore-env.sh`, so that explicit `nvm.sh` work was
redundant.
Proposed solution:
Remove the `nvm.sh` source step from all six wrappers.
Keep the profile sourcing that the provider still needs for PATH setup.
Alternatives considered:
Keep the existing shell setup and accept the launch cost.
That keeps the current behavior, but it leaves the hot path slower than
needed.
Roadmap alignment:
This change keeps the sandbox command path small and predictable.
It does not change the adapter contract or the node resolution rules.
## What Changed
- Removed `nvm.sh` sourcing from all six sandbox exec wrappers.
- Kept profile sourcing where the provider still needs it for PATH
setup.
- Switched Modal to a non-login shell because the script now sources
profiles itself.
- Updated wrapper tests to assert that built commands do not source
`nvm.sh`.
## Verification
- Local TypeScript typecheck passed in each changed package.
- Focused provider tests passed for Daytona, E2B, Modal, exe-dev,
Cloudflare bridge, and adapter-utils.
- One Daytona test failure is pre-existing and unrelated to this change.
## Risks
- This change alters shell startup for sandbox exec paths.
- A provider that depends on implicit shell setup may need a follow-up.
- The current tests cover command shape, but they do not cover every
runtime shell path.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Local adapters can confine agent processes with filesystem and
network sandbox policies
> - Allowlist confinement must still let an agent reach Paperclip's own
control plane and managed MCP servers
> - The Codex local adapter already marks those runtime-owned endpoints
as trusted, but the Claude local adapter did not
> - As a result, allowlisted Claude runs could not call their own
Paperclip API unless operators duplicated runtime URLs manually
> - This pull request mirrors the trusted-URL wiring in the Claude local
adapter and adds a regression test at the process-execution boundary
> - The benefit is that confined Claude agents retain their required
control-plane access without broadening the operator-managed network
allowlist
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #447
No exact public issue was found. The underlying bug is:
- **Observed:** with `claude_local` configured for local-process
`networkScope: "allowlist"`, the sandbox options omitted the
runtime-owned Paperclip API and MCP server URLs. Requests to those
endpoints could therefore be denied by confinement.
- **Expected:** Paperclip's own API URL and managed MCP server URLs are
passed as trusted sandbox targets, matching `codex_local` behavior.
- **Steps to reproduce:** configure a local Claude agent with allowlist
network confinement, omit the runtime Paperclip API URL from the
operator allowlist, and have the agent call its injected
`PAPERCLIP_API_URL`.
- **Version:** `ca92f727c5` (`origin/master` at branch creation).
- **Deployment mode:** local-process sandbox confinement in a local
deployment.
## What Changed
- Added the injected Paperclip API URL and runtime MCP server URLs to
`claude_local` sandbox `networkTrustedUrls`, filtering empty values.
- Added a unit test proving allowlist sandbox construction trusts
`PAPERCLIP_API_URL`.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/execute.acp-fallback.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local typecheck`
## Risks
- Low risk. The change only affects confined local Claude processes and
trusts runtime-owned endpoints already injected by Paperclip.
- Operator-configured `networkAllowlist` behavior is unchanged; the
added URLs use the sandbox's separate trusted-target path.

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Every company is auto-provisioned a set of built-in agents (e.g. the
Summarizer), and a startup reconciler keeps that set correct across
every company on boot.
> - Provisioning marks these agents with
`metadata.paperclipBuiltInAgent.key`, but nothing in the database
enforced one active agent per `(company, key)` —
`provision()`/`ensure()` did a check-then-insert with no guard.
> - Two concurrent server processes (e.g. a `tsx watch` double-boot)
could both read "no summarizer exists" and both insert, leaving a
company with duplicate built-in agents plus paired orphan pending
`hire_agent` approvals.
> - That data blemish then became a recurring outage: `findSingleAgent`
throws on >1 marked row, and because the throw escaped
`reconcileBuiltInAgentsOnStartup`'s sequential loop, **every company
after the affected one was silently skipped** on each boot — no
auto-provisioning, no default grants — until manual DB surgery.
> - This pull request closes the race at the database level and makes
reconciliation self-healing and fault-isolated.
> - The benefit is that concurrent provisioning can no longer create
duplicates, and even pre-existing duplicates are resolved automatically
instead of bricking startup reconciliation for unrelated companies.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- [x] I searched the GitHub PR list (open and recently closed) for
similar PRs and confirmed this is not a duplicate.
No public GitHub issue exists; describing the bug in-PR (bug-report
shape):
**What happened**
A dev instance booted with two concurrent server processes. Both ran
built-in agent provisioning for the same company at the same time, and
the check-then-insert in `provision()`/`ensure()`
(`server/src/services/built-in-agents.ts`) let both writers see "no
summarizer exists" and each create one — the company ended up with two
identical Summarizer agents (identical `paperclipBuiltInAgent` markers)
plus two paired pending `hire_agent` approvals.
From then on, **every** server boot logged:
```
ERROR: startup reconciliation of built-in agents failed
Multiple built-in agents found for summarizer (built_in_agent_duplicate_instance)
```
because `findSingleAgent` throws on >1 marked row rather than resolving
the duplicate. Worse, `reconcileBuiltInAgentsOnStartup` loops companies
sequentially and the throw escaped the loop, so every company *after*
the affected one was silently skipped on every boot.
**Expected behavior**
1. Concurrent provisioning must not create duplicate built-in agents
(there was no DB uniqueness constraint on the marker key per company).
2. Reconciliation should be resilient: if duplicates exist anyway,
self-heal (keep the oldest row, terminate the newer dupe, cancel its
orphan pending `hire_agent` approval), and never let one bad company
abort reconciliation for the rest.
**Steps to reproduce**
- Race two `provision(companyId, "summarizer")` calls for a company with
board approval for new agents enabled (or simulate a double-boot); both
insert.
- Restart the server → startup reconciliation error fires, companies
later in the loop are never reconciled.
## What Changed
**Part 1 — stop creating duplicates**
- Migration `0192_built_in_agent_unique_marker` adds a **partial unique
index** on `(company_id, metadata->'paperclipBuiltInAgent'->>'key')`
where the marker exists and `status != 'terminated'`. It first resolves
any pre-existing duplicates (keep oldest by `created_at`, terminate
newer dupes, cancel their orphan pending `hire_agent` approvals, revoke
their API keys) so the index can be created on already-affected
instances.
- `provision()`/`ensure()` now catch the losing race's `23505` unique
violation (walking the driver's wrapped cause chain) and re-resolve to
the winning row instead of surfacing the error.
**Part 2 — resilient reconciliation**
- `findSingleAgent` self-heals: keeps the oldest marked row, terminates
the newer duplicates, and cancels each one's orphan pending `hire_agent`
approval (idempotent) instead of throwing.
- `reconcileBuiltInAgentsOnStartup` isolates per-company failures in
both loops so one bad company can't abort reconciliation for the rest;
it surfaces a `companyFailures` count in the startup log.
- Adds `approvalService.cancel()` for system-initiated cancellation of
an orphan approval.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db run check:migrations` → numbering +
safety checks pass.
- `packages/db` migration test (real embedded Postgres) — seeds
pre-index duplicate state, runs the migration, asserts dupes resolved +
index enforced: **1 passed**.
- `server` `built-in-agents.test.ts` — self-heal, concurrent races
(plain and board-gated), and startup
self-heal-without-aborting-later-companies: **34 passed**.
```
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db exec vitest run src/built-in-agent-unique-marker-migration.test.ts
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run src/__tests__/built-in-agents.test.ts
```
## Risks
- **Migration safety**: the migration mutates data (terminates duplicate
rows, cancels their orphan pending approvals, revokes their API keys)
before creating the index. It keeps the oldest row per `(company, key)`
and only touches non-terminated marked rows; the destructive step is
covered by the migration test and the safety-check baseline. On a clean
instance it is a no-op cleanup followed by `CREATE UNIQUE INDEX IF NOT
EXISTS`.
- Otherwise low risk: the unique index is partial (excludes terminated
rows, so re-provisioning after a termination stays possible), and the
conflict handling degrades gracefully to re-resolving the existing
winner.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The sandbox runtime depends on efficiently staging files into remote
environments
> - The process-session bridge was rewriting a static remote script on
every start, even when the remote copy already matched
> - That caused unnecessary round trips and made the startup path
noisier than it needed to be
> - This pull request adds a hash-skip path for the process-session
script write and keeps the existing bridge-entrypoint hash gate on the
same helper
> - It also locks in the reduced inbound round-trip count so the
collapse from the prior PR cannot silently regress
> - The benefit is fewer remote execs on warm starts and a stronger
guard against performance regressions
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Refs: https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/10354
### Feature request-style description
**Subsystem affected**
- Cross-cutting (packages/adapter-utils and sandbox staging helpers)
**Problem or motivation**
- The process-session bootstrap path was rewriting a static remote
script on every start even when the remote file already matched the host
content.
- That added avoidable remote execs and latency to warm starts.
- The inbound staging collapse from the previous PR also needed a
regression lock so it could not silently drift back to extra round
trips.
**Proposed solution**
- Route the process-session remote script upload through the existing
hash-skip helper used by the sandbox callback bridge entrypoint.
- Keep the bridge-entrypoint behavior unchanged by delegating it to the
same helper.
- Add a regression test that asserts the inbound staging path still
collapses to the expected round-trip count.
**Alternatives considered**
- Keep the existing unconditional write path and accept the extra execs
on warm starts. Rejected because it preserves avoidable overhead.
- Add a second specialized helper just for process-session scripts.
Rejected because the bridge-entrypoint logic already solved the same
problem and should stay aligned.
**Roadmap alignment**
- This fits the roadmap items around cloud/sandbox agents and enforced
outcomes by reducing bootstrap waste and preventing performance
regressions.
- It does not introduce new product surface area, telemetry, or
user-facing workflow changes.
**Additional context**
- The implementation preserves the existing upload/verify/rename
behavior when the remote content differs and only skips the write when
the hash already matches.
- PR #10354 collapsed the inbound staging path; this PR preserves that
win.
## What Changed
- Added a shared hash-skip helper for remote text-file synchronization
so unchanged content skips the write path after a single remote hash
check.
- Switched the process-session remote script upload to use that helper,
preserving the existing write/verify/rename behavior when the remote
content differs.
- Refactored the sandbox callback bridge entrypoint sync to use the same
helper without changing its observable behavior.
- Added a mocked-native-runner regression test that locks the inbound
staging path to one `client.syncIn` round-trip per step and zero direct
write/run execs.
## Verification
- `tsc --noEmit`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec vitest run`
- Full adapter-utils vitest sweep: 338 passed / 4 skipped
## Risks
- Low risk: the helper changes when a write occurs, not the script
contents or the remote execution surface.
- A hash-check failure now fails loudly instead of silently rewriting,
which is safer but could surface provider-side issues earlier than
before.
- The regression test is intentionally specific to the current collapsed
staging path, so future architectural changes will need test updates.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for autonomous AI companies, so
runtime handoffs have to preserve the exact behavior an agent asked for.
> - The sandbox-provider layer is where uploaded files and follow-up
commands become a real in-sandbox operation.
> - The provider-delegable sync-in seam already exists from the prior
PR; without this follow-up, native providers can still accept
command-bearing uploads and silently drop the commands.
> - That is a fail-open gap for native sandbox providers, because the
file transfer succeeds while the intended post-upload work never runs.
> - This pull request teaches Daytona and Kubernetes to execute
`postUploadCommands` in order, inside the sandbox, after the files land.
> - The benefit is consistent and safer sync semantics: native providers
either run the commands as requested or fail fast instead of pretending
the operation completed fully.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This PR builds on the previously merged provider-delegable sync-in seam
and closes the remaining gap for native providers that still dropped
`postUploadCommands`.
Problem:
- A sync operation could include ordered `postUploadCommands`, but a
native provider could finish the file upload and skip the commands
entirely.
- That creates fail-open behavior for command-bearing uploads,
especially when the caller relies on the provider to execute the
follow-up action in the sandbox.
Proposed fix:
- Execute `postUploadCommands` inside the sandbox after file placement.
- Preserve the provided command order.
- Fail fast on the first non-zero exit or timeout.
- Keep command execution verbatim and confine any provided `cwd` under
the workspace root.
Related public PR:
- Refs: #10340
## What Changed
- Daytona `performSyncIn` now executes ordered `postUploadCommands`
through the existing `executeCommand` seam.
- Kubernetes `performSyncIn` now executes ordered `postUploadCommands`
through its streaming pod exec path.
- Added workspace confinement for provided `cwd` values and defaulted
missing `cwd` to the remote root.
- Added tests covering the new post-upload command execution behavior in
both provider packages.
## Verification
- Latest validation recorded on the handoff branch:
`@paperclipai/plugin-sdk` and `@paperclipai/plugin-kubernetes`
typechecks passed.
- Daytona Vitest: `63/63` passing in `plugin.test.ts`.
- Kubernetes Vitest: `195/195` passing, including `file-sync.test.ts`.
- `git log --oneline origin/master..HEAD` showed a single expected
commit on the branch.
## Risks
- Command execution semantics are stricter now, so malformed commands or
a bad `cwd` will fail the sync instead of being ignored.
- The change makes provider behavior more explicit, which can surface
previously hidden failures in callers that assumed commands were
optional.
- Timeout behavior may differ slightly between providers, so the failure
mode is intentionally fail-fast.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents make progress in heartbeats: the server wakes an agent
session, it does a slice of work on an issue, records a disposition, and
exits
> - Benchmarking identical coding tasks run as Paperclip-orchestrated
agent pairs vs invoking the same agent harness directly measured a
1.8–2.2× wall-clock slowdown for the Paperclip pairs, dominated by
per-heartbeat orchestration overhead rather than model time
> - Two contributors stood out: (1) since PF-4 (#4838) every
`heartbeat_timer` wake starts a brand-new task session, so continuation
work on a specific issue repays the full session-start and
re-orientation cost on every heartbeat; (2) in degraded environments
agents burn many tool calls retrying the same failing control-plane
write before giving up
> - This pull request reuses the task session for issue-scoped timer
wakes (keeping the PF-4 fresh-session rule only for unscoped exploratory
wakes, which were the original context-bloat case) and adds a
bounded-retry rule to the wake prompt and core skill: after 2
consecutive failures of the same control-plane write, stop retrying it
for the rest of the heartbeat and rely on the adapter/runtime status
channel
> - The benefit is materially less wall-clock and token overhead per
heartbeat while preserving the context-bloat protection PF-4 was added
for
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #4838 (merged PF-4 change whose reset rule this refines), Refs
#5287, Refs #1907 (related timer-heartbeat session work).
No public GitHub issue exists for the slowdown itself; bug-report
fields:
- **What happened:** Agent pairs orchestrated through Paperclip
heartbeats complete identical task sets 1.8–2.2× slower (wall-clock)
than the same harness invoked directly. Profiling attributed the gap to
per-heartbeat orchestration overhead: every timer wake discards the task
session (full session start + re-orientation), and in degraded
environments agents repeatedly retry the same failing control-plane
write.
- **Expected behavior:** Heartbeat orchestration should add minimal
wall-clock overhead on top of the underlying harness; issue-scoped
continuation work should not pay a fresh-session tax each interval.
- **Steps to reproduce:** Run a fixed benchmark task set once through
Paperclip issue heartbeats and once via direct harness invocation with
the same model/config; compare wall-clock totals.
- **Version/commit:** master @ 3d23c3b2c3, self-hosted deployment.
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`: `shouldResetTaskSessionForWake`
now resets only for `heartbeat_timer` wakes with no derivable task key
(unscoped exploratory wakes). Issue-scoped timer wakes reuse the issue's
task session. `describeSessionResetReason` updated to stay in exact
agreement.
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-timer-wake-session-reset-pf4.test.ts`:
new cases for scoped vs unscoped timer wakes, plus the scoped case added
to the reset/reason agreement invariant.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.ts`: wake prompt template and
execution contract gain a bounded-retry rule — after 2 consecutive
failures of the same control-plane write, stop retrying it for the rest
of the heartbeat, continue useful work, report the failure in the final
response, and use the adapter/runtime status channel as the sanctioned
fallback.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts`: asserts the new
prompt lines are present in both the template and the rendered wake
prompt.
- `skills/paperclip/SKILL.md`: documents the same bounded write-retry
rule in the core Paperclip skill.
## Verification
- `node_modules/.bin/vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts` — 1 file, 83 tests
passed
- `cd server && node_modules/.bin/vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-timer-wake-session-reset-pf4.test.ts` — 1 file,
14 tests passed
- Both run on this branch rebased onto current master (3d23c3b2c3)
## Risks
- Behavioral shift: issue-scoped timer wakes now reuse sessions, so a
long-lived issue session can grow across heartbeats. Mitigated by
keeping the PF-4 reset for unscoped wakes (the originally observed bloat
case) and by existing session compaction.
- Prompt/skill text changes alter agent guidance; the new rule is scoped
narrowly to repeated failures of the same control-plane write.
- No migrations, no API or schema changes, no dependency changes.
## Model Used
- Claude (Anthropic) — `claude-fable-5` (Fable 5), extended reasoning
with tool use, driven via Claude Code / Claude Agent SDK.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Daytona sandbox adapter spends time on repeated per-exec sandbox
lookups during a lease
> - That repeated lookup is pure overhead once the started sandbox
handle is already known and trusted for the lease
> - The adapter still needs strict isolation and fail-closed behavior
because the handle is an authenticated compute object, not an inert
value
> - This pull request memoizes the started sandbox handle per lease in a
process-scoped cache, and now advances freshness only after successful
reuse so failed commands cannot suppress stale-handle refreshes
> - The benefit is lower provider-get latency on the hot path while
keeping resume safety, teardown safety, and observability intact
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This is a Daytona performance fix, not a standalone public GitHub issue.
### Problem / Motivation
- Repeated `client.get(sandboxId)` calls on the sandbox hot path
re-fetch a handle that is already started and trusted for the current
lease.
- The extra provider round-trip is pure overhead on repeated exec, sync,
resume, and interactive-cancel flows.
- Cache freshness also has to be tied to successful reuse, or a failed
command can make a stale sandbox look freshly used.
### Proposed Solution
- Cache the started `Sandbox` handle in process memory, keyed by a
non-secret composite lease scope.
- Enforce strict identity checks and eviction on release, destroy,
interactive cancel, and resume-sentinel mismatch.
- Block teardown cleanup until active lease operations finish so
delete/stop cannot race in-flight execute or sync work.
- Advance freshness only after successful execute, sync, or resume
reuse, so failed operations do not mask an auto-stopped sandbox.
- Preserve `getDurationMs` in exec metadata so provider-get latency
remains observable.
### Alternatives Considered
- Keep fetching the sandbox on every exec path.
- Cache only by bare lease id.
### Roadmap Alignment
- This change is part of the Daytona performance work and narrows
per-call overhead without changing the public adapter contract.
## What Changed
- Memoized the started Daytona `Sandbox` handle in a process-scoped
cache keyed by a composite lease scope.
- Added fail-closed identity checks so cache hits and single-flight
populate paths reject mismatched sandbox ids.
- Evicted cached handles on release, destroy, interactive cancel, and
resume sentinel mismatch.
- Blocked release, destroy, and interactive cancel teardown cleanup
until active lease operations drain.
- Advanced cache freshness only after successful execute, sync, and
resume reuse.
- Kept `getDurationMs` in exec metadata so provider-get latency remains
observable.
- Expanded the Daytona plugin tests to cover same-lease reuse,
cross-scope isolation, eviction paths, rejected populate handling,
concurrent single-flight behavior, cached-resume sentinel revalidation,
teardown cancellation safety, and failed-execute freshness handling.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run --config vitest.config.ts` in
`packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona` — 81/81 passing, including
the teardown-cancel, snapshot-capture, syncIn-cancel, and failed-execute
freshness regressions.
- `git rev-parse origin/perf/daytona-sandbox-handle-cache` matched the
authorized submit SHA `528158f998fa88bb0748300f156b38d86d6589cd` before
the fixup commits.
- `git log --oneline
origin/master..origin/perf/daytona-sandbox-handle-cache` shows the
expected focused Daytona changes.
- GitHub duplicate/related PR search and ROADMAP review were completed
before opening the PR.
- Remote CI and Greptile completed successfully after this description
was updated; the PR is now ready for board handoff.
## Risks
- The cache is process-scoped, so correctness depends on the eviction
paths staying complete.
- A bug in the scope key or identity checks could leak reuse across the
wrong lease boundaries, but the implementation fails closed on id
mismatches.
- Teardown now waits for active operations to drain, so any missed
activity bookkeeping could delay cleanup instead of racing it.
- Freshness updates now happen after success, which is safer, but it
means any missed success-path call would trigger an extra refresh rather
than silently masking staleness.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip runs AI-agent work through adapter-backed execution paths.
> - Sandbox-backed local adapters pay startup overhead in two host-side
bridge setups.
> - Those setups were happening serially even though most of the work is
independent.
> - The remaining dependency is only the merged env that must reach the
process-session launch.
> - This pull request overlaps the independent setup work while
preserving that launch-time dependency.
> - The benefit is lower end-to-end startup latency without changing
execution semantics.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this change.
Problem / motivation:
- Sandbox-backed local adapter startup waited for two largely
independent bridge setups in series, so users paid roughly the sum of
both setup times.
- The only hard dependency is the merged Paperclip env that must reach
the process-session launch.
Proposed solution:
- Start the paperclip callback bridge and the process-session bridge
concurrently.
- Keep the env merge as the single sequencing point before
process-session launch.
- Stop whichever bridge started if either startup path fails.
- Keep the concurrent bridge telemetry duration-only so shared runner
counters are not double-counted.
Alternatives considered:
- Keep the bridges serial, which preserves the current telemetry shape
but leaves the startup latency unchanged.
- Move env merging earlier, which would complicate launch ordering and
risk changing runtime semantics.
Roadmap alignment:
- This is the approved Daytona start-speedup work, focused on bridge
startup concurrency rather than broader runtime behavior.
## What Changed
- Started the paperclip callback bridge and the process-session bridge
concurrently in `execute.ts`.
- Added a memoized env finalizer so the process-session launch still
waits for the merged paperclip env at the correct moment.
- Updated `execution-target.ts` so the process-session bridge can accept
a deferred env resolver and consume it only at launch time.
- Added tests that cover the overlapped launch path and the
failure-cleanup path when one bridge start fails.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec vitest run
src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils test`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec tsc --noEmit`
- `git log --oneline
origin/master..origin/perf/parallelize-daytona-bridge-setups`
- `git diff --stat
origin/master...origin/perf/parallelize-daytona-bridge-setups`
## Risks
- A regression in the launch-time env merge could change what the
process-session bridge sees at startup.
- The concurrent start/cleanup logic could leak a bridge if the stop
paths were incorrect, which is why the failure cleanup test matters.
- This is low-to-moderate risk because the change is isolated to
adapter-utils startup plumbing and is covered by targeted tests.
## Model Used
