workspace-validation loops when a worktree's branch diverged, and
provider quota/usage-limit errors being classified as generic transient
failures (putting agents into error state and polluting metrics)
> - Killed-then-recovered runs and quota waits are not product failures,
so both the runtime behavior and the reporting needed to distinguish
them
> - This pull request drains runs gracefully on shutdown with idempotent
restart retries, self-heals workspace branch mismatches, adds a
quota-aware failure class with reset-time retry, separates recovered
restart kills from true failures on the dashboard, and documents restart
hygiene for operators

of manual repair, and dashboard metrics that reflect real failure rates
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists; describing the bug inline per the
bug-report template:
**What happened?**
In-flight heartbeat runs are marked `failed` when the server restarts,
even though a retry later succeeds. Worktrees whose checked-out branch
diverges from the issue branch fail workspace validation on every
subsequent run with no recovery path. Provider quota/usage-limit
responses are treated as generic transient upstream errors, putting
agents into an error state and retrying before the quota window resets.
The dashboard counts all of these as true failures, inflating failure
metrics.
**Expected behavior**
Graceful shutdown should interrupt (not fail) running runs and chain
exactly one recovery retry. Workspace validation should repair
recoverable branch mismatches automatically. Quota errors should get
their own error class with the retry scheduled at the provider reset
time and the agent left idle. The dashboard should report recovered
restart kills separately from true failures.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a heartbeat run, then restart the server (SIGTERM) while it is
in flight — the run lands as `failed` with a process-loss error code
even when its retry succeeds
2. Check out an issue whose worktree branch has diverged (e.g. after a
force-moved branch) — every subsequent run fails
`workspace_validation_failed` deterministically
3. Drive an agent into a provider usage-limit window — the run fails as
a generic transient upstream error and the agent enters an error state
instead of idling until the reset time
**Paperclip version or commit**

**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted dev plane (Linux, node server + embedded Postgres)
## What Changed
- Graceful shutdown (SIGTERM hook) now marks in-flight runs
`interrupted` instead of `failed` and enqueues an idempotent
process-loss retry (pre-insert existence check on `retryOfRunId`
prevents duplicates; bursts chain exactly one retry per interrupted run)
- Run-liveness classification routes `interrupted` to `needs_followup`
rather than `failed`
- Workspace validation self-heals branch mismatch / missing-branch
states instead of failing deterministically on every run
- New `provider_quota` error class: session/usage-limit responses
schedule the retry at the provider reset time and leave the agent idle
(not errored); fixes a case where a quota-terminated run with subtype
`success` was misclassified as failed; HTTP 529 remains transient
- Dashboard run-activity query separates recovered restart kills from
true failures via a recursive CTE over `retry_of_run_id` (ancestors of a
succeeded retry count as recovered), adds a per-day failed-by-error-code
breakdown, and binds the window start as a timestamptz string
- Activity charts UI: amber "Recovered" segment with legend and per-day
error-code tooltip; success-rate chart counts recovered runs as
successes
- New ops runbook: `docs/deploy/dev-plane-restart-hygiene.md`
## Verification
- Greptile follow-up fixes on `992705edd`: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-finalize-branch.test.ts` (209
tests); `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`; `git diff
--check`
- Post-rebase CI fixes: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts`; `pnpm exec
vitest run server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-finalize-branch.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts` (227 tests);
`pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `npm test` server suites covering the changes:
`heartbeat-process-recovery`, `heartbeat-stop-metadata`,
`heartbeat-retry-scheduling` (95 tests), quota parse +
execute/retry-scheduling suites (100 tests), workspace self-heal suites
(200 tests), dashboard run-activity tests (3 tests) — all green,
typecheck exit 0
- Dashboard CTE cross-checked against a real development database: two
restart-burst days moved from 17 to 8 and 19 to 6 true failures once
recovered kills were separated, matching manual retry-chain inspection
- Screenshot verification of the real ActivityCharts component
(recovered segment + tooltip) during QA
## Risks
- Behavioral shift: runs killed by a restart no longer surface as
`failed`; anyone consuming raw run statuses will see `interrupted` (new
status value) — dashboards/queries in this repo were updated accordingly
- Retry chaining on repeated restarts is bounded (one chained retry per
interruption) but a pathological restart loop still delays work rather
than failing it; the runbook covers operator hygiene for that case
- Dashboard query adds a recursive CTE; cost is bounded by the
day-window row count and was verified against production-sized data
- No schema migrations; low migration risk
## Model Used
- Claude (Anthropic) — claude-fable-5 via Claude Code / Paperclip agent
harness, extended thinking with tool use; implementation commits also
produced with Codex CLI (GPT-5 class) agents under the same harness

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Issue detail pages and run output cards both render user-facing
attachment previews
> - Media attachments were handled through separate gallery entry
points, so attachments from issue comments and issue output did not
share one consistent viewing path
> - A shared gallery path makes image browsing more predictable across
the issue surface

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #8788
This PR fixes inconsistent issue media preview behavior across
attachment and output surfaces.
## What Changed
- Unified issue media attachment gallery behavior across issue
attachments, issue output, output primary cards, and issue detail
rendering.
- Added image gallery modal coverage and regression tests for
attachments, output image handling, keyboard navigation, and issue
detail interactions.
- Preserved the primary video output Open action while still allowing
gallery browsing when a gallery handler is available.
- Updated issue attachment and issue output helper logic to preserve
shared image gallery metadata.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/ImageGalleryModal.test.tsx
src/components/issue-output/IssueOutputSection.test.tsx
src/components/IssueAttachmentsSection.test.tsx
src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx`
- Result: 4 files passed, 47 tests passed.
## Risks
Low to medium risk. The change is UI-scoped but touches shared issue
attachment/output rendering paths, so regressions would most likely
appear as image/video preview ordering, missing gallery entries, or
incorrect non-image attachment behavior.

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

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

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to coordinate
AI agents, issues, approvals, comments, and work products.
> - The involved subsystem is issue context: markdown links, issue
properties, related work, lists, filters, inbox/sidebar status, and
plugin-provided external context.
> - The gap is that URLs to external systems currently remain mostly
plain links, so humans and agents must manually open them to understand
status, identity, and liveness.
> - This matters because external work objects such as GitHub issues and
pull requests are part of the operational state of a Paperclip company.
> - The implementation keeps core provider-neutral: shared contracts,
storage, sync, routes, and UI surfaces live in core while providers can
contribute detection and status resolution.
> - This pull request adds the external object reference foundation,
GitHub provider support, issue-surface rendering, filters,
sidebar/list/inbox signals, and test/story coverage.
> - The benefit is that linked external work becomes inspectable
Paperclip context without hardcoding every provider directly into the
UI.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this work.
Feature request:
- Problem: URLs in Paperclip issues, comments, documents, and related
surfaces do not expose provider status or object identity inline.
- Proposed behavior: detect supported external object URLs, persist
normalized references, refresh provider status, and render concise
status-aware links across issue surfaces.
- Users affected: board users, agents, and maintainers who triage issues
containing external work links.
- Acceptance: external object references are company-scoped,
provider-extensible, visible in key issue surfaces, filterable where
relevant, and covered by focused shared/server/UI tests.
Related PR search:
- No open duplicate PRs found for `external object references`.
- Closed related prior attempt: #4556.
## What Changed
- Added shared external-object contracts, validators, status/liveness
helpers, and plugin protocol declarations.
- Added database schema and additive migrations for external objects,
source mentions, and display metadata.
- Added server services/routes for detecting, syncing, summarizing,
refreshing, and resolving external objects across issues, documents,
comments, projects, and plugins.
- Added a GitHub external-object provider plus plugin SDK authoring
docs.
- Wired UI presentation across markdown links, comments, issue chat,
documents, properties, related work, issue rows, filters, inbox/sidebar
badges, and Storybook stories.
- Rebasing cleanup: moved the branch onto current `master`, repaired
stale worktree provision config, hardened environment-sensitive
tests/mocks, and removed committed screenshot artifacts from the PR
branch to keep the reviewable file set below tool limits.

ui/src/lib/external-objects.test.ts` passed after rebasing: 5 files, 56
tests.
- Historical branch verification before this PR creation included `pnpm
test:run`, `pnpm -r typecheck`, and `pnpm build`; this PR body does not
claim those were rerun after the final rebase.
## Risks
- Medium: this adds a new cross-surface sync path on
issue/document/comment writes. The implementation uses safe sync
wrappers so external-object failures warn instead of blocking core
mutations.
- Medium: the migrations introduce new tables and indexes. They are
additive and company-scoped.
- Medium: provider-specific URL parsing can miss or misclassify edge
cases. Shared canonicalization tests and provider tests cover current
GitHub shapes.
- Low: UI badge/filter behavior could add visual noise for object-heavy
issues; component tests and Storybook stories cover the intended
surfaces.
> Roadmap checked: `ROADMAP.md` references the plugin system as the
current extension path and does not list a duplicate core feature.
Related long-range docs discuss external references, work products,
preview URLs, and plugin extension points; this PR implements the scoped
external-object reference foundation.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 coding-agent runtime, with shell and GitHub CLI tool
use. Reasoning mode: medium. Exact deployed runtime model ID and context
window were not exposed in the environment.

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

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

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane teams use to manage AI
agents for work.
> - Company skills are imported from `SKILL.md` files and rely on YAML
frontmatter to describe what each skill does.
> - Multi-line descriptions commonly use YAML block scalars (`>` and
`|`), but the broken parser path behind #4989 reduced those descriptions
to a literal `>` or `|`.
> - The earliest contributor fix for that bug was PR #5046, so this
branch keeps that PR as the canonical merge target instead of replacing
it.
> - Follow-up work from #5071 and #8258 was then transplanted onto this
earlier branch so the final PR preserves contributor credit while still
shipping the strongest complete fix.
> - The resulting change fixes block-scalar parsing in the shared
frontmatter path, aligns server company-skill imports with that shared
parser, and prevents already-stale stored markers from rendering as junk
in the UI.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Fixes#4989
- Refs #2863
- Refs #788
- Related superseded PRs: #5071, #8258
## What Changed
- Kept the original PR #5046 server-side company-skill fix and
regression coverage as the base branch history.
- Added the missing YAML chomping and indicator hardening explored
further in #5071.
- Moved frontmatter parsing to the shared parser path so
`packages/shared`, `packages/skills-catalog`, and server company-skill
imports stay aligned.
- Added UI summary sanitization and fallback handling so stale stored
`>` / `|` values no longer render as visible junk in company-skill
cards.
- Added regression coverage for shared frontmatter parsing,
skills-catalog parsing, company-skill imports, and stale-summary
fallback behavior.
## Verification
- Passed locally: `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/shared/src/frontmatter.test.ts
packages/skills-catalog/src/frontmatter.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-skills.test.ts
ui/src/lib/company-skill-summary.test.ts`
- Passed locally: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck`
- Passed locally: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/skills-catalog typecheck`
- Not fully runnable in this worktree: `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck` currently fails in `packages/plugins/sdk`
before reaching server code because local workspace `node_modules` type
deps are missing (`TS2688` for `node` / `react`).
- GitHub Actions / PR checks are rerunning on PR #5046 head
`005290b7557725abf748d00f36dd24ea0d919aba`.
## Risks
- Medium-low risk: the fix now touches shared parser code, server
company-skill imports, and UI fallback display rather than only the
server import path.
- The parser is still intentionally narrower than a full YAML
implementation; this change focuses on block-scalar correctness and the
stale-description rendering path relevant to #4989 / #2863.
- This branch intentionally supersedes narrower overlapping work from
#5071 and duplicate work from #8258 once the survivor PR is green.

## Thinking Path

> - Agents increasingly depend on reusable skills, so the control plane
needs a first-class way to browse, inspect, install, version, and attach

give operators a store-like discovery flow, canonical detail URLs, rich

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No GitHub issue exists for this Paperclip work item. Paperclip task
refs: PAP-10846 and PAP-10921.
Feature request:
Paperclip operators need a single Skills Store experience where company
skills can be discovered, inspected, created, versioned, installed, and
attached to agents without relying on scattered operational screens or
implicit runtime state.
Related PR search:
- Searched GitHub for `Skills Store`, `company skills`, and `skill
detail`.
- Found several open skills-related PRs such as #7809 and #4409, but no
duplicate PR for this end-to-end Skills Store branch.
## What Changed
- Added the Skills Store backend foundation: company skill schema
fields, migrations, shared types/validators, and expanded server skill
routes/services.
- Added skill discovery, category navigation, canonical skill detail
routes, tabs, source attribution, version snapshots/diffs, install count
backfill, and creation flows.
- Updated agent skill preference handling so version selections survive
runtime mention injection and runtime skill materialization honors
pinned versions.
- Preserved unversioned skill assignments as live/current selections
instead of silently pinning them to the current version at assignment
time.
- Added focused regression coverage for company skill routes/services,
route helpers, UI behavior, skill version diffs, and runtime skill
version pins.
- Added Storybook coverage for Skills Store discovery/detail states and
updated the main layout navigation.
- Addressed Greptile findings around version creation races,
soft-deleted comments, fork metadata scoping, GitHub skill directory
fallback, runtime snapshot materialization, shared runtime
skill-selection helpers, and version-assignment semantics.

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

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

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

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

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

- Low migration risk: no database schema migration is included.
- The branch was created before the latest `origin/master` commits;
reviewers should confirm CI merge-base behavior and resolve any merge
conflicts if GitHub reports them.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent work is issue-centered, and reviewers often need to inspect
files, artifacts, and path references produced during that work.
> - Before this branch, workspace-relative paths and artifact file
references were not first-class inspectable objects in the board UI.
> - Safe file viewing needs shared resource contracts, server-side
workspace boundary checks, and UI that opens files without exposing
arbitrary host paths.
> - The workspace file viewer branch needed to stay as one active PR and
be rebased onto current `paperclipai/paperclip:master` for review.
> - This pull request adds the workspace file resource API, issue-page
file viewer and browser, markdown file-reference links, and artifact
file chips.
> - The benefit is that board users can inspect relevant files from
issue context while preserving workspace boundaries and auditability.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this branch. Internal Paperclip
issues: `PAP-1953`, `PAP-10539`, `PAP-10733`.
Problem / motivation:
- Board users need to open workspace-relative files mentioned by agents
or attached as work-product metadata without switching to a terminal.
- The UI needs to support both direct file-path opening and workspace
browsing/searching from an issue page.
- The server must enforce company access, workspace boundaries, size
limits, rate limits, and safe audit logging.
Related PR:
- Prior closed attempt: #4442
- Single active PR for this branch: #7681
## What Changed
- Added shared workspace file resource types, validators, and
workspace-file `resourceRef` metadata validation for work products.
- Added server routes/services for resolving, listing, and previewing
workspace-relative files with access checks, scan caps, list-specific
limits, and audit logging.
- Added the issue file viewer provider, sheet, workspace browser,
command-palette action, markdown workspace-file autolinks, and artifact
file chips.
- Updated issue workspace UI and stories/tests for file browsing and
workspace file opening.
- Rebased the branch onto current `paperclipai/paperclip:master` and
updated the existing single PR branch.
- Addressed current-head Greptile follow-ups by applying `offset`
consistently across search/recent/changed file listings, restoring
stopped-service port ownership checks before auto-port reuse, and
stabilizing the workspace browser pagination test.

- PR workflow `verify` - success.
- Typecheck + Release Registry, General tests, workspace test shards,
serialized server suites, Build, Canary Dry Run, e2e, Socket, and Snyk -
success.
- `security-review` - neutral, with output saying a draft advisory was
filed for maintainer review and is not a merge block.
- `commitperclip PR Review / review` - cancelled after the security gate
detected flags and timed out while creating/reviewing the advisory. I
reran it once and it cancelled the same way; no actionable code/test
failure was exposed in the job logs.
## Risks
- This is a broad UI/server feature PR, so review needs to pay attention
to route authorization, workspace boundary handling, and markdown
autolink false positives.
- Workspace browsing intentionally caps list results and scan depth;
very large workspaces may require users to refine search terms.
- Remote workspace preview remains unavailable until remote file-access
support is implemented.
- The neutral commitperclip security-review advisory needs maintainer
review, but the check output says it is not a merge block.

## Model Used

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

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

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

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The affected subsystem is the heartbeat execution path that turns
issue assignment into adapter-backed work in a selected workspace.
> - PAP-10409 and sibling follow-ups failed before useful adapter output
because project/workspace identity became incoherent.
> - A project-workspace-linked child issue could keep
`projectWorkspaceId` / execution workspace state while losing
`projectId`, then a git-sensitive local adapter could fall through
toward an invalid fallback cwd.
> - Paperclip needs to treat coherent workspace identity as part of the
live-path contract, not only as post-failure cleanup.
> - This pull request documents that rule, repairs issue inheritance,
and blocks git-sensitive adapter launch before it can run from the wrong
cwd.
> - The benefit is a bounded recovery path: affected issues are repaired
explicitly, future malformed workspaces fail fast with a clear recovery
action, and the UI surfaces that reason.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #7646
Bug report fields:
- Summary: adapter-backed follow-up issues can fail before doing work
when issue creation/inheritance preserves workspace ids but drops
project identity.
- Affected issues: internal Paperclip issues PAP-10408 through
PAP-10412, especially PAP-10409.
- Steps to reproduce: create a project-scoped parent/follow-up tree
where a child issue keeps `projectWorkspaceId` or an inherited execution
workspace but has `projectId: null`, then launch a git-sensitive local
adapter such as `codex_local`.
- Expected behavior: Paperclip derives or preserves coherent project
identity during issue creation, and heartbeat refuses malformed
git-sensitive workspace launches with one clear recovery action.
- Actual behavior before this PR: the run could reach adapter bootstrap
with an incoherent workspace context and fail with git errors such as
`fatal: not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /srv)`.
- Root cause: child/follow-up issue inheritance preserved workspace
execution context without coherent project context. That let heartbeat
workspace resolution/adapter launch reach a fallback cwd instead of
refusing the malformed workspace state up front.
## What Changed
- Documented the adapter workspace-coherence live-path precondition in
`doc/execution-semantics.md`.
- Updated issue creation/inheritance so workspace-inheriting issues
preserve or derive project identity, while existing mismatch validation
still rejects incoherent project/workspace combinations.
- Added a heartbeat preflight guard for git-sensitive local adapters
that validates effective cwd, persisted workspace identity, project
workspace identity, and required git metadata before launch.
- Added `workspace_validation` recovery actions for this failure class
and ensured the source issue gets a visible, idempotent recovery
comment.
- Surfaced workspace-validation recovery state in issue rows, blocked
notices, and recovery action cards, including the manual-repair wake
policy label.
- Added focused regression coverage for issue inheritance, all heartbeat
workspace-validation guard branches, recovery display helpers, and UI
recovery components.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts`
- Result: 1 test file passed, 68 tests passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
ui/src/components/IssueRecoveryActionCard.test.tsx`
- Result: 1 test file passed, 12 tests passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/IssueBlockedNotice.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssueRecoveryActionCard.test.tsx`
- Result: 2 test files passed, 18 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- Result: passed.

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The board UI is the control surface for issues, projects, agents,
goals, workspaces, and operator settings.
> - The existing navigation and list surfaces make several
high-frequency workflows feel harder to scan than they should,
especially around projects and agents.
> - The product direction is to improve those surfaces without breaking
the existing route model or forcing a new IA on every operator at once.
> - This pull request now keeps the dependent IA, project identity, and
agent-list visual refresh work together while the Issue-to-Task copy
migration is split into #7651.
> - The benefit is a clearer left nav, better project identity, denser
agent/project list rows, and brand-aligned status treatment while
preserving the classic default experience behind a flag.

server/shared/UI coverage.
- Refreshes agent list rows, row actions, active/recent sidebar
behavior, and status capsule/chip styling for the approved brand state
system.
- Removes the placeholder Conference room and Artifacts nav/routes from
the finalized experimental nav direction.
- Removes `pnpm-lock.yaml` and the Issue-to-Task copy migration from
this PR diff; the copy migration now lives in #7651.
## Verification
- Existing branch verification from the authored commits: UI typecheck,
targeted unit tests, and light/dark visual checks for `/agents`, agent
detail, and design-guide status states.
- Maintainer cleanup verification on `75e34e5`: `git diff --check
origin/master...HEAD` passed, the `design/` diff is empty, and the PR
diff is 61 files, below Greptile's 100-file review limit.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` passed.
- `NODE_ENV=test pnpm exec vitest run
ui/src/components/Sidebar.test.tsx` passed: 1 file, 8 tests.
- CI and Greptile should rerun on the latest push.
## Risks
- Broad UI surface area: the experimental flag keeps the classic nav
default, but changed shared components such as `EntityRow`,
`ProjectTile`, and agent status badges could affect multiple pages.
- Database migration: `projects.icon` is additive and nullable, but
migration ordering and portability import/export must stay aligned.
- The Issue-to-Task copy migration is now separated into #7651, so
reviewers should evaluate this PR as IA/project/agent presentation work
only.
- Visual regressions are possible across smaller widths because the PR
intentionally changes dense list-row layouts.
## Model Used
Claude Opus 4.8 assisted the original feature commits.
Paperclip-Paperclip agents assisted some planning/design commits. Codex
/ GPT-5-class coding agent with shell, GitHub CLI, and repository access
performed this PR-readiness cleanup and split.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

server/src/__tests__/company-skills-catalog-service.test.ts

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The issue graph and liveness recovery system decide whether assigned
work is executable or parked
> - Assigned issues created without an explicit status could silently
land in backlog, making parents look blocked with no productive wake
path
> - The server, shared validators, recovery analysis, and UI all need to
agree on that execution semantic
> - This pull request makes assigned issue creation default to `todo`,
flags assigned backlog blockers, and surfaces the state in the board
> - The benefit is that parked assigned work becomes intentional and
visible instead of creating silent liveness stalls
## What Changed
- Adds contract tests for assigned issue creation defaults.
- Defaults assigned issue creation to `todo` when status is omitted
while preserving explicit `backlog` parking.
- Exposes `resolveCreateIssueStatusDefault` through shared validators.
- Teaches liveness/blocker attention paths to distinguish assigned
backlog blockers.
- Adds UI notices, row/header badges, and issue detail safeguards for
assigned backlog blockers.
- Adds Storybook fixtures and execution-semantics documentation for the
assigned-backlog behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm run preflight:workspace-links && pnpm exec vitest run
packages/shared/src/validators/issue.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-assigned-backlog-contract-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-blocker-attention.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-liveness.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation.test.ts
ui/src/components/IssueAssignedBacklogNotice.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssueRow.test.tsx` — 50 passed, 23 skipped.
- Skipped tests were embedded Postgres suites on this host with the repo
skip message: `Postgres init script exited with code null. Please check
the logs for extra info. The data directory might already exist.`
- Pairwise merge check against the issue-controls PR branch completed
without conflicts via `git merge --no-commit --no-ff` in a temporary
worktree.
- Screenshots for assigned-backlog UI states:
[light](docs/pr-screenshots/pr-5428/assigned-backlog-light.png),
[dark](docs/pr-screenshots/pr-5428/assigned-backlog-dark.png).
- Follow-up checks: `pnpm --filter /ui typecheck`; `pnpm --filter
/mcp-server build`; `pnpm --filter /mcp-server test`; `pnpm exec vitest
run packages/shared/src/validators/issue.test.ts`; focused UI component
tests.
- Remote PR checks on head `6300b3c`: policy, verify, serialized server
shards 1/4-4/4, Canary Dry Run, e2e, Greptile Review, and Snyk all
passed.
## Risks
- Medium: changes status defaulting for assigned issue creation when the
caller omits status. Explicit `backlog` remains supported, and
server/shared tests cover both paths.
- Medium: liveness classification changes can affect blocker attention
labels; focused service and UI tests cover the new assigned-backlog
state.

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