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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip manages agents that use different model providers and
adapters.
> - Paperclip must keep agent execution rules clear and predictable.
> - The cheap-model profile added a second execution mode across
adapters, task recovery, APIs, and the UI.

feature.

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

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

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

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

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

vertical slice.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12638.
Refs #12616.
Refs #12352.
**Subsystem affected**
Paperclip Runner Rust transport and remote runner networking.
**Problem or motivation**
The runner daemon cannot connect to a public control plane with TLS. It
also cannot accept a provider preview connection on the run-bound
ingress path.
**Proposed solution**
Add WSS with native trust roots and an optional private CA bundle. Add a
fixed authenticated listener mode for provider ingress. Advertise the
exact transport contract through build metadata.
**Alternatives considered**
Plaintext public WebSocket connections would weaken the transport
boundary. A general listener would expose more network surface than the
run-bound provider ingress requires.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports the Cloud and Sandbox agents milestone. It also
supports self-healing native runs.
## Stack
- Lower merged PR: #12638.
- This PR contains only its 13-file delta against `master`.
- Later stack PRs add the task workspace and administrator UI.
## What Changed
- Added WSS dialing with rustls and native certificate roots.
- Added an optional bounded private CA bundle that augments native
roots.
- Kept plaintext WebSocket dialing restricted to loopback addresses.
- Pinned resolved dial addresses for the process lifetime.
- Added a fixed `0.0.0.0:43127` listener with an exact run-bound path.
- Rejected listener queries, ambiguous paths, and WebSocket extensions.
- Kept frame and message size bounds.
- Added bounded reconnect grace and exponential jitter.
- Retried bootstrap failures only before authentication proof
transmission begins.
- Kept post-proof failures fail-closed and bounded the welcome exchange
at two seconds.
- Added runnerd build metadata for the versioned transport contract.
- Updated Rust dependencies and `Cargo.lock` only for TLS and
certificate handling.
- Did not add provider dispatch, Pi, AWS, `pnpm-lock.yaml`, migrations,
or workflows.
## Verification
- GitHub Actions will run Cargo formatting, Rust tests, repository
tests, typecheck, build, security, and policy gates.
- Rust tests cover URL validation, listener path validation, build
metadata, durable recovery, and the existing Codex provider path.
- Local tests were not run. The requested verification policy uses
GitHub Actions for this series.
- `git diff --check master...HEAD` passes.
- The delta contains 13 files.
## Risks
- TLS and listener changes affect the runner trust boundary.
- Public plaintext transport remains rejected.
- The listener uses one fixed port and one exact run-bound path.
- PRP authentication remains required after the WebSocket upgrade.
- The optional CA file uses the existing private-file checks and a 4 MiB

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12616.
Refs #12352.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This change touches runner transport, server
orchestration, plugin contracts, and shared settings.
**Problem or motivation**
Native execution cannot resolve an authenticated runner ingress through
a remote environment. The server also lacks one provider-neutral
contract for remote execution targets.
**Proposed solution**
Add a default-off runner preview ingress capability. Add
transport-neutral runner connectivity. Add remote execution target and
lifecycle handling. Add a Daytona ingress implementation with redacted
credentials.
**Alternatives considered**
A provider-specific server path would duplicate orchestration and
authorization. A public endpoint without an environment contract would
weaken the trust boundary.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports the Cloud and Sandbox agents milestone. It also
supports self-healing runs and governed tool access.
## What Changed
- Added execution-target traits for local, SSH, and sandbox
environments.
- Added plugin RPC contracts for runner ingress endpoints.
- Added authenticated Daytona preview ingress.
- Added transport-neutral PRP outbound connections.
- Added remote runner artifact verification and fail-closed provider
selection.
- Added bounded native session resume, cancellation, and lifecycle
recovery.
- Preserved Codex-only selection for fresh experimental runner starts.
- Preserved all direct adapter execution and finalization paths.
- Removed stale Pi provider-pack requirements that security review
rejected.
- Kept the rollout controls off by default.
- Did not change pnpm-lock.yaml, Cargo, database migrations, or GitHub
workflows.
## Verification
- GitHub Actions will run the repository test, typecheck, build,
security, and policy gates.
- Focused tests cover ingress validation, redaction, execution targets,
remote lifecycle, cancellation, resume, and legacy adapter selection.
- Local tests were not run. The requested verification policy uses
GitHub Actions for this series.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` passes.
- The diff contains 52 files.
## Risks
- Remote execution crosses a trust boundary.
- The implementation validates target capabilities, artifact digests,
provider-pack pins, and connection metadata.
- The feature remains default-off.
- Fresh native selection remains Codex-only.
- Existing direct adapters remain on the legacy path.
- This PR does not yet make remote Codex runnable. The next PR adds the
Rust WSS and TLS transport.
## Model Used

repository tools, GitHub tools, and parallel code-audit agents.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Apps system gives agents governed access to external services
> - The managed Google Workspace connector uses separate profiles for
each app and access level
> - Several app definitions and callback paths did not enforce the same
profile contract
> - The default method could also select a customer OAuth setup when a
managed read profile was available
> - This pull request aligns the profile contracts, setup guidance,
default selection, and activity attribution
> - The benefit is a consistent managed connection flow for every Google
Workspace app
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
N/A — no public GitHub issue exists for this follow-up. Related merged
work:
[#12600](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/12600) and
[#12609](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/12609).
This change follows the merged Paperclip Cloud managed OAuth broker
work. It does not add a new broker or provider client.
**What happened?**
The Google Workspace connection definitions could drift from the shared
connector profile registry. The callback activity always named Gmail.
Google Sheets did not show the Developer Preview requirement. The setup
flow could select a customer-owned write method when Cloud advertised
only a managed read profile. The tool-access service had no non-Gmail
managed callback test.
**Expected behavior**
Each managed Google Workspace profile must use its exact app slug, MCP
URL, scopes, ownership, risk tier, and write-tool policy. Callback
activity must name the correct app and profile. Every Google Workspace
card must show the same Developer Preview prerequisite. An available
managed method must be the default within the selected capability. The
customer-owned method must remain available as a fallback.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Advertise only the `gmail.read` managed profile.
2. Open the Gmail connection setup.
3. Observe that the customer-owned draft method becomes the default.
4. Complete a managed Google Drive callback.
5. Observe that the activity row names Gmail instead of Google Drive.
6. Open the Google Sheets setup.
7. Observe that it does not show the Google Developer Preview
prerequisite.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Current `master` at the start of this follow-up.
**Deployment mode**
Local development. The same connector definitions apply to Cloud-hosted
and self-hosted instances.
**Installation method**
Built from source with pnpm.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific. This change affects the core Apps and tool-access
paths.
## What Changed
- Added one table-driven invariant for all 16 Google Workspace profiles.
- Verified each profile against its app slug, MCP URL, exact scopes,
capability, ownership, grant kind, risk tier, and write-tool allowlist.
- Kept the Google Chat write profile least-privilege because its only
enabled write tool is `send_message`.
- Added the Google Developer Preview prerequisite to Google Sheets.
- Preferred an available Paperclip-managed method before a
customer-owned method.
- Preserved explicit capability selection and the customer OAuth
fallback.
- Switched managed-profile availability from the anonymous global
capability document to the enrolled instance's signed status response,
so internal-pilot profiles cannot be enabled locally without an
authorized instance binding.
- Replaced the Gmail callback activity constant with the validated app
slug and connector profile.
- Added connector and route coverage for signed per-instance
capabilities, including inactive and malformed responses.
- Added a Google Drive callback test that covers the signed profile
request, personal vault refs, encrypted secret rows, catalog filtering,
and non-sensitive activity details.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed across all workspaces before the
signed-capability follow-up; final targeted shared and server typechecks
also passed after it.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/paperclip-cloud-connector.test.ts` — passed, 9
tests.
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/app-definitions.test.ts` —
passed, 19 tests.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts` — passed, 205 tests.
- `pnpm test:run` — incomplete after the general server group reported
five failures in `server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts`. The
failures are outside the changed files. The run was stopped before the
remaining serialized suites because the shared worktree was needed for a
follow-up edit.
- `pnpm build` — passed on the final tree.
- `git diff --check` — passed on the final tree.
The five full-suite failures were:
- `records teardown and cleanup operations when a recorder is provided`
- `does not accept an occupied allocated port when listener ownership is
unavailable`
- `backfills a pre-existing HTTP-only managed worktree runtime to
verified HTTPS in place`
- `re-adopts a live service whose shell command differs from the
surviving process argv`
- `reuses a registered legacy worktree that already has the branch
checked out`
## Risks
- The default setup method changes when at least one Paperclip-managed
method is available. Explicit read, write, or draft choices still stay
within the selected capability group.
- Managed method availability now depends on Paperclip Cloud's signed
enrolled-instance status. A Cloud outage or an inactive enrollment hides
managed methods while leaving customer-owned OAuth available.
- The callback activity schema gains a non-sensitive `profile` value. It
does not include tokens, account identifiers, emails, tenant
identifiers, or provider error text.
- The profile invariant is strict. A future Google scope or tool change
must update the shared registry and the matching app definition
together.
- There are no database migrations and no public API changes.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runner package is useful only when the application can start,
observe, and recover a native Codex run safely.
> - Existing direct adapters must keep their current execution and
finalization paths.
> - The application boundary therefore needs additive persistence,
authorization, coordination, and recovery behind an explicit
experimental adapter.
> - This pull request adds that Codex-only boundary without activating
generalized providers, remote environments, or the later task/SDK
surfaces.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Shared contracts, database persistence, adapter utilities, server
native-runtime services, and the experimental Paperclip Runner adapter.
**Problem or motivation**
The already-landed runner package has a qualified Codex path, but the
application needs durable native-run state, guarded runtime selection,
authenticated coordination, tool security, finalization, and recovery
before the experimental adapter can be exercised safely.
**Proposed solution**
Add a Codex-only `paperclip_runner` application path behind the existing
default-off native-runner setting. Bind native state and coordination to
company/run identity, preserve persisted-run recovery, and leave every
direct adapter on its existing legacy execution path.
**Alternatives considered**
The earlier stack boundary introduced a generalized executor and
remote-environment lifecycle here. That made this PR depend on
implementations in higher PRs and changed reusable sandbox behavior
globally. Those pieces are now deferred together to #12592.
**Roadmap alignment**
ROADMAP.md does not list a conflicting native-runner integration
project. This change adds the application boundary for the existing
Runner architecture.
## What Changed
- Added native run/result/finalization/provider-trace persistence,
shared validators, and idempotent migration/replay coverage.
- Added guarded Codex-only runtime selection, authenticated PRP
coordination, recovery, finalization, and interaction services.
- Added run/company-bound tool-gateway authorization, credential
redaction, SSRF protections, and replay-safe behavior.
- Added the explicit `paperclip_runner` adapter behind the default-off
rollout setting.
- Preserved legacy answered-question wake projection and direct-adapter
execution/finalization paths.
- Hardened cancellation so only owned in-memory child processes are
signaled; persisted recycled PIDs/process groups are never trusted.
- Retained the narrow Claude ACPX isolated-context security follow-up
discovered after #12590.
- Deferred the generalized executor, provider ingress, remote lifecycle,
SDK/lab/eval work, release-process changes, and lockfile.
## Verification
- Changed-file delta against `master`: 133 files.
- GitHub Actions is the authoritative verification environment for this
PR.
- Full CI, security, and Greptile review will run on this lowest
unmerged stack PR.
- Local tests/build/typecheck were not run because this checkout is
resource constrained.
- Static diff/reference checks pass, and `pnpm-lock.yaml` is unchanged.
## Risks
- This touches central heartbeat and agent-route code, so legacy
compatibility is the primary risk.
- Runtime selection remains Codex-only and explicit; direct Codex,
Claude, OpenCode, process, HTTP, and plugin adapters remain on their
existing paths.
- Fresh native starts fail closed while the rollout flag is off;
persisted native records remain readable and recoverable.
- Cancellation, company/run binding, tool calls, status decisions, and
completion writes are guarded or replay-safe.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip lets operators give governed tools to AI agents.
> - Connected Apps already support provider OAuth and personal
connection grants.
> - Some providers require one stable callback and do not support
dynamic client registration.
> - Self-hosted Paperclip instances can run at private or changeable
origins.
> - Paperclip Cloud can provide the stable callback while each instance
keeps its durable provider credentials.
> - This pull request adds the instance side of that managed OAuth
protocol and keeps customer-created clients available.

hosted and enrolled self-hosted instances.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This change updates the server, Apps UI, shared app
definitions, and connection documentation.
**Problem or motivation**
Some OAuth providers require a pre-registered callback and
provider-owned client. An arbitrary self-hosted Paperclip origin cannot
use that client callback directly. Paperclip ID must also stay limited
to product identity instead of resource authorization.
**Proposed solution**
Use the existing Paperclip Cloud application as the fixed callback
broker. Enroll each instance to an exact origin and separate Ed25519 and
X25519 keys. Bind every request and sealed envelope to the instance,
environment, user, company, provider, profile, and exact scope set.
Store durable provider credentials only in the originating instance
vault.
**Alternatives considered**
Customer-created OAuth clients remain available as the independent
fallback. A generic redirect relay was rejected because it would allow
caller-selected destinations and scopes. Paperclip ID was rejected as
the broker because it is the identity boundary. A new service was
rejected because the existing Cloud application already owns customer
login and the public callback origin.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work extends the shipped MCP Tool Gateway and Apps milestone. It
also supports the Connected Apps and Cloud deployments roadmap items.
Companion Cloud implementation:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/pull/312
The duplicate search found no related open Paperclip PR or issue.
## What Changed
- Add a `paperclip_cloud_connector` client with signed requests, exact
profile and scope bindings, and X25519-sealed credential handling.
- Add explicit self-hosted enrollment with owner-only instance key
storage and exact HTTPS origins.
- Route managed Google Workspace setup through Paperclip Cloud and
preserve customer-created OAuth clients.
- Keep broker claims retryable until the local vault transaction
commits.
- Keep managed Google per-profile removal local-only to avoid
client-wide provider revocation.
- Add setup status to the Connections page and retain the Paperclip ID
names as compatibility aliases.
- Document the trust boundaries, enrollment, callback, refresh, removal,
and rollout flows.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared exec vitest run
src/app-definitions.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/paperclip-cloud-connector.test.ts
src/services/paperclip-cloud-connector-enrollment.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts -t 'brokered Gmail
OAuth|brokered OAuth state'`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/pages/apps/Connections.test.tsx`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm build`
- The full stable test runner also reproduced existing macOS workspace,
skill-discovery, and listener fixture failures outside the changed
paths. GitHub Linux CI is the authoritative full-suite result.
## Risks
- The managed flow depends on
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/pull/312. Real provider
profiles stay disabled until Cloud deploys that protocol and the
provider approves the managed client.
- A Cloud outage blocks new authorization and refresh. Existing access
tokens continue to work until expiry.
- Managed Google profile removal only deletes the local grant. This
avoids invalidating the user's other profiles that share the managed
Google client.
- Legacy `paperclip_id_connector` records require a reconnect after
their current access tokens expire. Old Paperclip ID keys and refresh
tokens are not sent to Paperclip Cloud.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip uses browser tests to protect critical operator flows.
> - The trusted pull request workflow runs the E2E catalog on three
existing runners.
> - Smoke Lab was one 168-second spec, so the shard scheduler could not
divide it.
> - The spec also repeated service-start calls, page loads, and
full-page screenshots.
> - This pull request removes that repeated work and divides the
scenario catalog into two independent specs.
> - The benefit is a shorter Smoke Lab run and a balanced E2E lane
without more AWS capacity.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs: #10629
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This improves the trusted pull request E2E lane and its Smoke Lab
Playwright coverage.
**Current behavior**
Smoke Lab is one indivisible 168-second CI spec. It starts services for
every scenario, loads the same evidence page twice, and captures a
full-page success screenshot for all 56 lifecycle steps.
**Proposed behavior**
Start Smoke Lab services once per spec. Keep the per-scenario fixture
reset. Capture one representative success screenshot per scenario and
keep every failure screenshot. Run P1–P4 and P5–P7 as separate specs so
the existing duration-aware scheduler can put them on different runners.
**Reason and benefit**
The optimized lifecycle reduced local Smoke Lab wall time from 57.68
seconds to 37.04 seconds. This is a 35.8% reduction. The two halves also
let the existing three runners target about 125, 124, and 124 seconds of
recorded spec work instead of about 168, 125, and 124 seconds.
**Breaking changes**
None. The same seven scenarios and eight lifecycle steps still run. The
result API still records every step. Successful non-connect steps no
longer attach redundant screenshots.
## What Changed
- Reused one Smoke Lab service start within each spec while retaining
isolated fixture installation for every scenario.
- Removed the duplicate catalog evidence navigation.
- Reduced success screenshots from 56 to 7 while retaining screenshots
for every failed step.
- Split the shared lifecycle runner into P1–P4 and P5–P7 specs.
- Mark each successful split result as partial and keep dashboard health
amber until one run covers the full catalog.
- Updated the duration manifest and contributor docs for the split.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed on Node.js 24.20.0.
- `pnpm build` passed on Node.js 24.20.0.
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/e2e-shard.test.mjs` passed 9 tests.
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/pages/tools/smoke-lab-matrix.test.ts`
passed 8 tests.
- Both split specs passed together on Node.js 24.20.0 after the review
fixes: 2 passed in 35.7 seconds; shell wall time was 36.86 seconds.
- The pre-change Smoke Lab baseline passed with a 57.68-second shell
wall time. The optimized unsplit A/B run passed with a 37.04-second
shell wall time.
- The full local E2E catalog passed 44 tests and skipped 2 tests. One
existing `pipelines-tutorial-flow.spec.ts` assertion failed again when
run alone.
- The broad local unit run reproduced failures in untouched
workspace-runtime suites. Typecheck, build, shard tests, and all changed
browser coverage pass. CI remains the authoritative full-suite result.
## Risks
- The split duration weights use the measured local reduction and the
previous 168-second CI weight. They should be refreshed after two real
pull request runs.
- Service state is shared within each half. Fixture installation still
runs before every scenario to reset connection, policy, and catalog
state.
- Each half records passed execution with partial coverage. Dashboard
health recognizes the partial flag and stays amber because no single
runner covers the full catalog. A failed half still records failed/red.
- Fewer success screenshots reduce redundant artifacts. Every scenario
keeps its connect screenshot, and every failure still captures evidence.

that managed field from user input schemas.
- Classify Shopify checkout completion and cancellation as destructive
actions.
- Expand the connection authoring runbook from provider research through
verification and pull request handoff.
- Add focused shared, server, and UI coverage.
- Make the approved-execution waiter phase-aware so slow preparation
cannot consume the provider execution timeout and grace period.
- Settle legacy pre-execute-on-approve requests and invocations as
failed, clear their stale idempotency key, and allow a fresh governed
approval instead of leaving work stuck in `executing`.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/app-definitions.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts
ui/src/pages/apps/AppsConnect.test.tsx -t
"Postman|Shopify|normalizeConnectionMethodConfig|classifyRisk"` (16
passed)
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/approved-execution-wait.test.ts` (4 passed)
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/tool-gateway.test.ts -t
"enforces policy, approvals, retries, rate limits, and company
boundaries for connected remote MCP calls"` (1 passed)
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/tool-gateway-service.test.ts` (21 passed; includes
legacy approval settlement and fresh-approval recovery)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
## Risks
- Shopify UCP calls now include a Paperclip-managed agent profile that
overrides caller input at the same path.
- Postman EU credentials now use the hosted MCP server's bearer-token
contract instead of the general REST API header.
- The catalog generator and checked-in definitions change together to
prevent regeneration drift.
- Approved execution preparation has an explicit two-minute bound;
provider execution retains its own 65-second timeout and persistence
grace starting from durable provider start.
- Legacy approvals created before execute-on-approve are intentionally
terminalized and must be requested again under the current signed
contract.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Connection intents need secure provider implementations to complete
setup.
> - Some providers use managed OAuth or external credential brokers.
> - Those tokens must stay out of durable Paperclip state and fail
closed when refresh fails.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11965
This is stack 8 of 11. It depends on stack 7 and replaces another
reviewable part of #11965.
## What Changed
- Add managed Google Workspace and external connector backends.
- Add Vercel Connect support without storing provider bearer tokens.
- Add replay-safe migration 0232 and its generated snapshot.
- Fail closed and clear stale token bindings when organization OAuth
refresh needs reauthorization.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts`
- Result: 194 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/services/remote-url-credentials.test.ts` (5 passed, including
URL userinfo vault extraction)
## Risks
- Broker metadata errors can block provider setup.
- OAuth refresh failure disables the shared organization connection
until reauthorization.
- Migration 0232 is generated, ordered after 0231, and safe to replay.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents need a governed way to request app connections during issue
work.
> - The catalog now describes the available providers and setup methods.
> - A request must become a durable, company-scoped intent before an
operator acts on it.
> - This pull request adds that intent runtime across server, agent,
CLI, and shared contracts.
> - The benefit is a safe bridge from agent need to operator-approved
setup.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11965
This is stack 7 of 11. It depends on stack 6 and replaces another
reviewable part of #11965.
## What Changed
- Add connection intent types, validation, service logic, and routes.
- Add agent runtime tools and CLI support for connection requests.
- Add issue-thread interaction support for connection intents.
- Add runtime, route, adapter, and contract tests.
- Hold the final resolved-continuation row lock through asynchronous
adapter preparation until an actual process spawn, so parking or
reassignment cannot cross that boundary.
- Report Hermes Gateway's first remote run request through the shared
dispatch hook so the resolved-intent lock is released at the true
dispatch boundary.
- Revalidate the addressed user's live non-viewer membership and
connection-management authority for every intent mutation, including
OAuth completion.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts`
- Result: 176 tests passed.

includes non-process dispatch lock-release coverage)
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server

"addressed-user mutation"` (1 passed)
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server

callback completion to the initiating board session"` (1 passed)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/hermes-paperclip-adapter test --
src/gateway/server/execute.test.ts` (23 passed; includes dispatch-hook
ordering and exactly-once coverage)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/hermes-paperclip-adapter typecheck`
## Risks
- A malformed intent could create an unusable operator request.
- Validators and company checks reject invalid or cross-company
requests.
- The final continuation gate holds the issue row lock through adapter
preparation until process or remote dispatch; later operator changes use
the normal active-run interruption path.
- The change does not add a database migration.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11965
This is stack 1 of 11. It replaces the first reviewable part of #11965.
## What Changed
- Add guarded remote MCP setup and credential handling.
- Add PostHog OAuth and API key connection methods.
- Add focused server, shared contract, and UI coverage.
- Keep the migration replay-safe and idempotent.
- Give the late-close security regression the same 10-second CI headroom
as the adjacent real-timer handshake test.
- Synchronize fake-timer handshake tests at the exact ensure-session
boundary so real filesystem setup cannot race the fake deadline.
- Drive PTY overflow coverage only after listener registration so
scheduling cannot reorder the test fixture.
## Verification
- pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/plugin-worker-manager.test.ts (220 passed; affected
cases also passed five focused stress repetitions)
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts -t "never leaks a
sandbox-provided value from a late close rejection into logs or the
result"` (1 passed)

promotes a late ensureSession resolution|closes a late-resolving real
handle exactly once"` (2 passed)

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`
- `pnpm build`
## Risks
- Remote endpoint validation can reject configurations that previously
passed without checks.
- OAuth configuration errors can block setup until the operator corrects
the provider settings.
- The migration uses guarded statements so repeated execution is safe.
- The test-only synchronization changes do not affect runtime behavior;
they remove filesystem/fake-clock and listener-registration races
observed under parallel CI load.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The adapter layer carries sandbox requests to host processes.
> - The HTTP/2 bridge used one process-wide byte ledger for all routes.
> - One busy route could exhaust that shared budget and move another
route to file transport.
> - This pull request gives each host retention site a fixed byte bound
and limits concurrent HTTP/2 streams.
> - The benefit is local protection: one route cannot consume the byte
budget of another route.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The HTTP/2 bridge used one aggregate byte ledger for retained bytes
across all routes. A busy route could exhaust the shared budget and
force an unrelated route to use file transport.
**Expected behavior**
Each route should protect its own retained bytes. A reset on one HTTP/2
stream should cancel only that stream's host forward.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start the HTTP/2 bridge with multiple sandbox routes.
2. Send enough retained data through one route to reach the aggregate
byte limit.
3. Send a request through a sibling route.
4. Observe that the sibling route can fall back to file transport
because the first route used the shared ledger.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`47639e227e78e3c5e0dd1a3c0e2d792fe86895a3`
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with the adapter-utils and server test suites.
## What Changed
- Bound each host retention site with a fixed local byte limit.
- Limited concurrent live HTTP/2 streams with one built-in stream limit.
- Bound each host forward and response-body read to its own HTTP/2
stream lifetime.
- Removed the process-wide byte ledger, its environment override, its
metrics, and its file-transport fallbacks.
- Added tests for the stream limit, host body budget, and sibling-stream
cancellation.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm vitest run --project adapter-utils`.
- Confirm that 996 adapter-utils tests pass.
- Confirm that `test_live_forward_work_never_passes_the_stream_limit`
passes.
- Confirm that `test_the_host_body_budget_matches_the_stream_limit`
passes.
- Confirm that the sibling-stream cancellation test passes.
- Run `pnpm tsc --noEmit`.
- Confirm that all pull request checks pass.
## Risks
The bridge no longer uses a process-wide byte ledger. A local bound or
stream limit that is too low can reject or delay valid work. The tests
cover the new limits and stream cancellation behavior.
## Model Used

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Adapter utilities start and control agent sessions.
> - The ACP startup handshake can stay pending when the sandbox
transport closes.
> - A pending handshake keeps the run active and prevents a clear
operator result.
> - This pull request bounds the handshake and fences its abandoned
promise.
> - The result gives each startup failure a terminal state and a safe
host-authored diagnostic.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No matching public issue or pull request appeared in the GitHub search
for this failure. The issue details follow.
**What happened?**
The adapter engine awaited `runtime.ensureSession()` without a startup
bound. A lost sandbox transport could leave the await pending.
**Expected behavior**
The engine must end the run when the startup deadline expires or the
duplex transport closes. A late session result must not reopen the
settled run.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start an ACP-backed agent run.
2. Keep the ACP initialization call pending.
3. Let the startup deadline expire or close the duplex transport.
4. Confirm that the run reaches a terminal state and that a late session
result does not reopen it.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`66e1c0df8b23cb8354b36dd446d9548dc4389191` merge base.
**Deployment mode**
Local dev (`pnpm dev`).
**Installation method**
Built from source (`pnpm dev`).
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Custom / external plugin adapter.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Relevant logs or output**
The new tests use fixed host-authored diagnostics for handshake guard
failures and late close failures.
**Additional context**
The change updates the execution semantics document and adds regression
coverage. The three existing failures in `execute.test.ts` also occur at
the merge base.
## What Changed
- Bound `runtime.ensureSession()` with a startup deadline and a duplex
transport loss check.
- Added terminal error codes for handshake timeout and transport loss.
- Fenced late session resolution and rejection so the settled run has
one owner.
- Suppressed sandbox-controlled diagnostic values on the guard-failure
and late-close paths.
- Added regression tests for timeout, transport loss, late resolution,
and late close rejection.
- Documented the startup live-path contract.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec tsc --noEmit` exits 0.
- The engine test suite runs from the repository root.
- The new regression cases pass.
- The three known failures remain the only failures and also fail at the
merge base. The board approved this pre-existing test exception.
- Cold start and session resume cases pass.
- All required GitHub checks pass.
- Greptile reports 5/5 with no open P2 findings, recommendations, or
follow-ups.
## Risks
The startup guard changes only the ACP startup path. A slow but valid
startup can now end at the configured deadline. The fence closes a late
handle once and records fixed host-authored diagnostics.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, current model version, tool use and code execution,
with the full task context.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No issue exists. The problem is below.
**Issue type**
Docs. A link points at a file name that changed.
**Where is the issue?**
`doc/DEPLOYMENT-MODES.md`, line 176, in section 11 "Relationship to
Other Docs".
**What's wrong?**
The line reads:
```
- implementation plan: `doc/plans/deployment-auth-mode-consolidation.md`
```
That file is not in the repository. Commit `9c7d9ded1` ("docs: organize
plans into doc/plans
with date prefixes") renamed it to
`doc/plans/2026-02-23-deployment-auth-mode-consolidation.md`.
The renamed file is there today. The link text was not updated.
The other four entries in section 11 are correct. I checked each one:
`doc/SPEC-implementation.md`, `doc/DEVELOPING.md`, `doc/CLI.md` and
`doc/spec/invite-flow.md`
all exist.
**Suggested fix**
Use the new file name in the link. That is what this pull request does.
## What Changed
- `doc/DEPLOYMENT-MODES.md` line 176 now names
`doc/plans/2026-02-23-deployment-auth-mode-consolidation.md`
## Verification
Run this command. It prints the file, so the new name is correct:
```
ls doc/plans/2026-02-23-deployment-auth-mode-consolidation.md
```
Run this command. It prints nothing, so the old name is wrong:
```
ls doc/plans/deployment-auth-mode-consolidation.md
```
## Risks
Low risk. The change is one file name in one line of documentation. No
code changes.
## Model Used
Claude (Anthropic), model ID `claude-opus-5`, 1M context window,
extended thinking, with tool
use and code execution.
The path was found by [docproof](https://github.com/melbinjp/docproof),
an open source
checker that compares what documentation claims against what the
repository contains. A
person then read the document, checked the rename in `git log`, and
confirmed the other four
links in the same section.

One box stays unticked and I would rather say so than tick it. I did not
run the test suite
locally, because the change is one line of prose and no test reads it.
The other two were unticked when this opened, because CI and Greptile
had not run yet. Both
have now. **29 checks pass and 2 report `skipping`** (Contributor trust,
Storybook visual
regression); none fail. Greptile returned **5/5** with no P2s: *"The
documentation-only change
appears safe to merge. The new path exists ... and replaces an obsolete
path that no longer
exists."*
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A release is gated by the release smoke: it installs the published
`paperclipai` artifact into a Docker container and drives the sign-in →
onboarding → first-agent path with Playwright
> - That suite runs only from the release pipeline, never on a pull
request, so it sees the UI only after the UI has already changed
> - The onboarding wizard was rebuilt into the agent arc. The "Name your
organization" step, the "Start Onboarding" launcher, and the agent role
picker are all gone
> - The spec still waited for those, so it failed on its first assertion
and blocked every nightly and beta release
> - The failure was also hard to read. The workflow uploaded no
container logs, because it learned the container's name only after the
harness succeeded, and the harness ran the container with `--rm` and
deleted it before anything read it
> - This pull request rewrites the spec to follow the current arc, and
repairs the log capture at both ends
> - The benefit is that nightly and beta releases are unblocked, and the
next failure arrives with the logs attached
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue. Describing it inline, following
`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml`.
Refs #12274 (removed the company-naming step from the wizard).
Refs #12135 (the previous alignment of this spec, before #12274).
Refs #12316 (open; also edits `scripts/docker-onboard-smoke.sh`, in the
bootstrap helpers rather than the container lifecycle, so the two
changes do
not overlap. Whichever lands second should rebase and re-run).
**What happened?**
The release smoke fails.
`tests/release-smoke/docker-auth-onboarding.spec.ts`
never gets past its first wait:
```
✘ tests/release-smoke/docker-auth-onboarding.spec.ts:43:3 › Docker authenticated onboarding smoke › logs in, completes onboarding, and hires the lead agent
Error: expect(locator).toBeVisible() failed — element(s) not found (timeout 20000ms)
> 33 | await expect(wizardHeading.or(startButton)).toBeVisible({ timeout: 20_000 });
```
The spec waits for an `h3` reading "Name your organization" or a
"Start Onboarding" button. Neither exists. #12274 removed the
company-naming
step; the string now survives only in a code comment and in
`ui/src/components/OnboardingWizard.step.test.tsx`, which asserts it is
*absent*. The steps after the first wait are stale too: the CTA on step
1 is
"Continue" and not "Next", the organization input's placeholder changed,
and
the agent step's `#onboarding-agent-role` picker is gone, so every
onboarding
hire is filed under the neutral `general` role.
The suite runs only from the release pipeline, so nothing on a pull
request
saw the drift. Both `smoke_nightly` and `smoke_beta` call the same
reusable
workflow, so every nightly and every beta was blocked.
The failure also arrived without diagnostics. The job's "Capture Docker
logs"
step is `if: always()`, but it is guarded on `SMOKE_CONTAINER_NAME`,
which the
"Launch Docker smoke harness" step writes to `$GITHUB_ENV` only *after*
the
harness returns. On any failure before that the guard is false, the step
does
nothing, and the upload reports "No files were found". Below that,
`scripts/docker-onboard-smoke.sh` starts the container with
`docker run -d --rm`, so the `docker stop` in its EXIT trap deletes the
container and its logs together — and a container that crashes on its
own is
removed the instant its process exits.
**Expected behavior**
The spec walks the onboarding arc the app actually presents, and proves
the
company is created, the lead agent is hired, and the first task is
seeded and
dispatched. When the smoke fails, the run's artifact carries the
container's
logs.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the Release Smoke workflow against a published artifact that
carries
#12274, or run it locally:
`PAPERCLIPAI_VERSION=2026.828.0-canary.3 SMOKE_DETACH=true
./scripts/docker-onboard-smoke.sh`
2. Run `pnpm run test:release-smoke` against that container.
3. The single spec fails at `openOnboarding()` after 20 seconds.
4. In CI, open the run's `release-smoke` artifact. It has no
`docker-onboard-smoke.log`.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`2026.828.0-canary.3` (commit 8316ceb0b).
**Deployment mode**
Docker.
**Installation method**
npm / pnpm global install (the container runs `npx
paperclipai@<version>`).
**Node.js version**
v24.20.0 inside the container.
**Relevant logs or output**
```
Running 1 test using 1 worker
✓ 1 [chromium] › tests/release-smoke/docker-auth-onboarding.spec.ts:76:3 › Docker authenticated onboarding smoke › logs in, completes onboarding, and hires the lead agent (7.0s)
1 passed (8.7s)
```
That is the result after this change. Before it, the same command failed
at
the first wait, as quoted above.
## What Changed
- `tests/release-smoke/docker-auth-onboarding.spec.ts` now follows the
current
arc. It signs in, opens `/onboarding`, names the organization and
presses
"Continue" (which creates the company and routes straight to the agent
step,
because onboarding no longer asks for a mission), names the lead and
presses
"Next", presses "Connect" on the default adapter to hire, then presses
"Get started" to launch.
- The spec addresses controls by role and accessible name, or by id
where one
exists (`#onboarding-agent-name`). Step 1's field has no id and no
associated
label, so it is found as the wizard's only text box rather than by its
placeholder copy.
- The spec asserts the hired agent's role is `general`, which is what
the arc
files every onboarding hire under. Every other API assertion is
unchanged.
- The spec navigates to `/onboarding` explicitly and drops any saved
onboarding
draft first, so it can run twice against one instance. The suite retries
once
in CI. It still asserts that a company-less board routes sign-in into
onboarding, guarded on the board actually being empty.
- `scripts/docker-onboard-smoke.sh` accepts `SMOKE_CONTAINER_NAME`,
drops
`--rm`, removes the container itself, and dumps `docker logs` to
`SMOKE_LOG_FILE` before the teardown.
- `.github/workflows/release-smoke.yml` pins the container name in the
job's
`env`, so every `always()` step has it before anything runs. The capture
step
refreshes the log from a live container when there is one, keeps the
harness's dump when there is not, and writes a one-line explanation when
there is neither. The upload's paths are literals, and
`if-no-files-found: error` makes a broken diagnostics path fail rather
than
warn.
- `scripts/docker-onboard-smoke.test.mjs` pins that wiring. It is added
to
`test:release-registry`, which runs on every pull request.
- `doc/DOCKER.md` documents `SMOKE_CONTAINER_NAME` and `SMOKE_LOG_FILE`.
## Verification
The spec was run against a real container built from the published
`2026.828.0-canary.3` artifact, exactly as the workflow runs it.
```sh
SMOKE_CONTAINER_NAME=release-smoke-onboard \
HOST_PORT=3232 DATA_DIR=<tmp>/smoke-data \
PAPERCLIPAI_VERSION=2026.828.0-canary.3 \

```

Running 1 test using 1 worker
✓ 1 [chromium] › tests/release-smoke/docker-auth-onboarding.spec.ts:76:3 › Docker authenticated onboarding smoke › logs in, completes onboarding, and hires the lead agent (7.0s)
1 passed (8.7s)
```
The same command was run a second time against the same, now non-empty,
instance. That covers the retry path, and it also passes.
The log capture was verified by making the container die during startup:
```sh
PAPERCLIPAI_VERSION=0.0.0-no-such-version \
SMOKE_CONTAINER_NAME=release-smoke-onboard SMOKE_LOG_FILE=<tmp>/fail.log \
./scripts/docker-onboard-smoke.sh
```
`<tmp>/fail.log` was written and carried the cause:
```
npm error code ETARGET
npm error notarget No matching version found for paperclipai@0.0.0-no-such-version.
```
The container was removed afterwards. On `master` this file is never
written,
because `--rm` deletes the container the moment its process exits.
The workflow's capture step was run by hand against three states: a live
container (258 lines), a removed container with the harness's dump
already on
disk (258 lines kept), and neither (a one-line explanation).
Unit coverage:
```sh
pnpm run test:release-registry # 93 tests, 93 pass
```
Nothing under `ui/` changed, so `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui
typecheck` was
not required. `tests/release-smoke` is outside the TypeScript project
references; Playwright compiles it at run time, which the runs above did
three
times.
## Risks
Low risk. Nothing ships to users. The change touches one Playwright
spec, one
smoke script, and one workflow.
Points worth a reviewer's attention:
- **This suite gates every nightly and beta, and it runs only
post-merge.**
`smoke_nightly` and `smoke_beta` both call `release-smoke.yml`, and no
pull
request runs it. Drift between the wizard and this spec is therefore
invisible until a release is already blocked, which is how this bug
reached
a release train. I think the arc deserves an earlier check. The cheapest
version is the one added here: `scripts/docker-onboard-smoke.test.mjs`
runs
on every pull request and pins the harness wiring. The full container
smoke
is too slow for the pull request path, but a UI-level test of the arc's
step
sequence would catch exactly this class of drift, and
`ui/src/components/OnboardingWizard.step.test.tsx` is already the right
home for it. I did not add it here, to keep this change to the repair.
- **Dropping `--rm`.** The container is now removed by the script's
cleanup
instead of by Docker. The script already ran `docker rm -f` before
starting,
and the workflow's final step removes it too, so a leaked container is
cleaned up on the next run either way. A developer who kills the script
with
`SIGKILL` will leave a stopped container behind, where previously they
would
not.
- **`if-no-files-found: error` on the upload.** The capture step now
always
writes the log file, so the upload always has at least one path to
match. If
that ever stops being true, the job fails instead of warning. That is
deliberate.
- **The spec drops the saved onboarding draft before it walks.** A stale
draft
makes step 1 skip company creation and hire into the previous run's
company.
That state only exists when the spec runs twice against one instance. A
fresh
release-smoke container never has it.

injection were driven as real commands on a local Docker host.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip supports opt-in Sentry error monitoring for server and
browser errors.
> - The hosted image must include the server package when an operator
sets SENTRY_DSN.
> - The server package is an optional peer in the source tree, so the
image did not include it.
> - This pull request installs the declared server package in the hosted
image and checks the result.
> - The benefit is a hosted tenant can send server errors without a
manual package install.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists for this change.
**What happened?**
The hosted image did not include the declared @sentry/node server
package. A hosted tenant could set SENTRY_DSN, but the server could not
load the package from the image.
**Expected behavior**
The hosted image must include the exact @sentry/node version from
server/package.json. The self-hosted image must remain without this
optional package.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Build or pull the hosted image.
2. Resolve @sentry/node from the server package path.
3. Compare its version with server/package.json.
4. Confirm that the tsx loader path still resolves.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit b6ff556a33ebdbe764b7f495951cd59009776608.
**Deployment mode**
Docker hosted image.
## What Changed
- Add a cloud-server-deps Docker stage that installs the declared
@sentry/node version in isolation.
- Copy the isolated package into the cloud image without changing the
production image.
- Add a probe that checks the tsx loader and the resolved Sentry
version.
- Run the probe after the hosted image push in the Docker workflow.
- Add server tests and update the observability documentation.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/cloud-image-sentry.test.ts`.
- Confirm that the changed test passes in CI.
- Confirm that all pull request checks pass.
- Note that the Docker workflow does not run for pull requests. It runs
after a push to master, for configured tags, or after manual dispatch.
## Risks
- Low risk. The production image body stays unchanged.
- The cloud image adds the declared Sentry package and a small
dependency tree.
- The workflow probe fails if the image loses the tsx loader or resolves
a different Sentry version.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5; exact model version supplied by the execution service;
tool use and code execution; context window not specified.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip keeps its state in PostgreSQL, and `packages/db` owns that
schema through Drizzle
> - `drizzle-kit generate` writes a new migration by diffing
`packages/db/src/schema/` against the newest snapshot in
`packages/db/src/migrations/meta/`, so the snapshot must describe the
schema that the migrations produce
> - Snapshot `0228` recorded the new `error_count` column on the wrong
table, and snapshot `0229` inherited the error, so the newest snapshot
no longer matched the schema
> - Because of that, `generate` on `master` folded the drift into any
new migration: it emitted an `ADD COLUMN` for a column that migration
`0228` already creates, which fails on a fresh database, plus an
out-of-scope `DROP COLUMN`
> - This pull request moves the column entry to the correct table in
both snapshots and adds a test that repeats the diff `generate` performs
> - The benefit is that the next person who generates a migration gets
only their own change, and CI fails if the snapshot drifts again
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue. The description below follows
`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml`.
**What happened?**
`drizzle-kit generate` on `master` emits a wrong migration. The newest
snapshot, `packages/db/src/migrations/meta/0229_snapshot.json`,
disagrees with the schema in two places. It omits
`issue_question_response_deliveries.error_count`, which
`0228_nasty_grim_reaper.sql` creates. It also carries
`decision_archive_notification_outbox.error_count`, which no migration
ever creates and the Drizzle schema never declared. Snapshot `0228`
introduced both halves of the error: it added the new `error_count`
column to `decision_archive_notification_outbox` instead of the table
that the same migration creates. Snapshot `0229` copied it forward. Any
new migration therefore starts with two statements that do not belong to
it:
```sql
ALTER TABLE "issue_question_response_deliveries" ADD COLUMN "error_count" integer DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE "decision_archive_notification_outbox" DROP COLUMN "error_count";
```
The `ADD COLUMN` fails on a fresh database, because migration `0228`
already creates that column. The `DROP COLUMN` targets a column that
does not exist on any deployment.
**Expected behavior**
`drizzle-kit generate` reports "No schema changes, nothing to migrate"
on a clean checkout of `master`, and a new migration contains only the
author's own schema change.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Check out `master` at commit `bc1a21564`.
2. Run `pnpm install`.
3. Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db generate`.
4. Read the emitted `packages/db/src/migrations/0230_*.sql`. It contains
the two statements above, and no schema file was changed.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `bc1a21564`. The drift entered in #12307 (snapshot `0228`)
and was carried forward by #12291 (snapshot `0229`), which worked around
it by building its snapshot by hand.
**Deployment mode**
Not deployment specific. It affects anyone who generates a migration,
and it affects any fresh database that would later run the bad
migration.
**Database mode**
All PostgreSQL modes: embedded, local Docker, and hosted.
## What Changed
- Moved the `error_count` column entry from
`decision_archive_notification_outbox` to
`issue_question_response_deliveries` in
`packages/db/src/migrations/meta/0228_snapshot.json` and
`packages/db/src/migrations/meta/0229_snapshot.json`. Both files keep
their `id` and `prevId`, so the snapshot chain is unchanged.
- Added `packages/db/src/migration-snapshot-drift.test.ts`. It reads the
newest snapshot named by `_journal.json`, serializes the schema modules
with `generateDrizzleJson`, and asserts that `generateMigration` returns
no statements. This is the same diff that `generate` performs.
- Documented the snapshot rule in `doc/DATABASE.md` under a new
"Migration snapshots" section.
No migration SQL was added, renumbered, or edited. No schema file
changed. The database is correct as it is; only the snapshot was wrong.
Why both snapshots and not only the newest one: `0229` is the file that
`generate` reads, so repairing it is what fixes the bug. `0228` holds
the same error, and `drizzle-kit drop` removes the last migration and
its snapshot, which would promote `0228` back to newest and bring the
drift back. Repairing both removes that trap. Snapshots are never
applied to a database, so neither edit changes any deployment.
## Verification
Commands run from the repository root.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db generate` — "No schema changes, nothing
to migrate 😴". It writes no SQL file, no snapshot, and no journal entry.
`git status` stays clean. Before the fix, the same command wrote
`0230_fast_caretaker.sql` with the two spurious statements.
- The repaired `0229_snapshot.json` is byte-identical to the snapshot
that a real `generate` run produced, except for the `id` and `prevId`
that keep the chain intact.
- Chain check: the repaired `0228` and `0229` snapshots now differ by
exactly the two columns that
`0229_drop_company_brand_color_and_attachment_max_bytes.sql` drops,
`companies.brand_color` and `companies.attachment_max_bytes`, and by
nothing else.
- Database check: applied all 229 migrations in order to an embedded
PostgreSQL, then compared the live schema with the repaired snapshot.
179 tables and 2687 columns match, with no missing column, no extra
column, and no nullability difference. The same comparison against the
pre-fix snapshot reports exactly two problems: `column only in snapshot:
decision_archive_notification_outbox.error_count` and `column only in
database: issue_question_response_deliveries.error_count`. This harness
was a scratch script and is not part of the pull request.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` — pass. It runs
`check:migrations`, which is `check-migration-numbering` and
`check-migration-safety`.
- `npx vitest run --root packages/db` — 28 files, 102 tests, all pass.
This includes the new test.
- New test, negative case: with the pre-fix `0229_snapshot.json`
restored, `migration-snapshot-drift.test.ts` fails and prints exactly
the two spurious statements, plus the instruction to run `generate`. It
passes on the repaired snapshot. It takes about 1.2 seconds and needs no
database.
- `node scripts/check-forbidden-tokens.mjs` and `node
scripts/check-no-git-push.mjs` — pass.
## Risks
Low risk. A Drizzle snapshot is a build-time record for `drizzle-kit
generate`. It is never applied to a database, so this change cannot
alter any deployment, and no operator action is needed. Databases that
already ran migrations `0228` and `0229` are correct today and stay
correct.
The proof is a clean `generate`: the command that produced the wrong
migration now reports "No schema changes, nothing to migrate" and writes
nothing.
Two smaller notes:
- The new test depends on `drizzle-kit/api`, which is already a dev
dependency of `packages/db`. If a future `drizzle-kit` upgrade changes
that surface, the test fails loudly at import rather than passing
silently.
- The test imports every module in `packages/db/src/schema/`, which is
the same set that `drizzle.config.ts` points the CLI at. It deduplicates
by object identity, because the barrel re-exports the same table objects
and `drizzle-kit` rejects a table it sees twice.

tinted the generated company icon, and the attachment size limit sat
under the deployment-level `PAPERCLIP_ATTACHMENT_MAX_BYTES` cap that
already bounded every upload
> - A setting that changes one icon hue, and a setting that can only
lower a limit the operator already set, are not worth the page space or
the code that carries them
> - This pull request deletes both settings from the UI, the validators,
the API contract, the server, and the database
> - With the deployment cap as the only limit left, the message a person
sees when an upload is rejected has to name that limit in terms they can
act on, so the raw byte count becomes a human-readable size
> - The benefit is a shorter company General page for every deployment,
one attachment limit instead of two, and less code between an upload and
its ceiling
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue. The description below follows
`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/enhancement.yml`.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The company General page (`/company/settings`), the `PATCH
/api/companies/{companyId}` and `PATCH
/api/companies/{companyId}/branding` request contracts, and the
attachment upload limit on task, case, and company-import uploads.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: `ui/`, `server/`, `packages/shared`, `packages/db`.
**Current behavior**
The company General page shows an "Appearance" section with three
controls: Logo, Brand color, and Attachment size limit. The brand color
is a hex value that feeds one thing — the hue of the generated company
pattern icon. Companies that never set one already get a hue derived
from the company name. The attachment size limit is a per-company byte
count stored on `companies.attachment_max_bytes`. Every upload path
clamps it against the deployment-level `PAPERCLIP_ATTACHMENT_MAX_BYTES`
cap, so the per-company value can only lower a limit the operator
already chose.
**Proposed behavior**
The Appearance section keeps the Logo control only. The company pattern
icon always derives its hue from the company name. Every attachment path
reads the deployment cap directly, so `PAPERCLIP_ATTACHMENT_MAX_BYTES`
is the single limit. An upload rejected by that limit says so in human
units — "File is larger than the 10 MB limit" rather than a raw byte
count. The `companies.brand_color` and `companies.attachment_max_bytes`
columns are dropped, and both fields leave the company API contract.
**Reason and benefit**
Both settings ask an operator to make a decision that changes almost
nothing. The brand color moves one icon hue on a page that also lets you
upload a real logo, which overrides the icon entirely. The attachment
limit reads as a real control but cannot raise anything, so it is a
second place to look when an upload is rejected. Removing both shortens
the page every deployment sees, removes a company-scoped read from the
task attachment upload path, and leaves one attachment limit to reason
about instead of two.
**Breaking changes**
The company API responses no longer include `brandColor` or
`attachmentMaxBytes`, and `GET /api/invites/{token}` no longer includes
`companyBrandColor`. `PATCH /api/companies/{companyId}/branding` is
strict, so a request that sends `brandColor` now returns 400; the
non-strict `PATCH /api/companies/{companyId}` schema strips it. Company
packages exported by older versions still import: the portability
company manifest schema is non-strict, so the retired keys are stripped
and ignored rather than rejected. Companies that stored a brand color
lose it — their icon reverts to the name-derived hue that every company
without a color already used.
## What Changed
- Removed the "Brand color" and "Attachment size limit" fields from the
company General page, along with their state, dirty checks, save
payload, and Save-button gating.
- Removed `brandColor` and `attachmentMaxBytes` from
`createCompanySchema`, `updateCompanySchema`, and
`updateCompanyBrandingSchema`, and deleted the now-orphaned
`DEFAULT_COMPANY_ATTACHMENT_MAX_BYTES` and
`MAX_COMPANY_ATTACHMENT_MAX_BYTES` constants.
- Removed both fields from the `Company` type, the portability manifest
type and schema, and the `companiesApi.update` payload allowlist.
- Dropped `brandColor` from `CompanyPatternIcon` and its callers, so the
icon hue always comes from the company name. Deleted the now-unused
`hexToHue` helper and the now-unused `pickTextColorForSolidBg` export.
- Stopped emitting `brandColor` from the company service selection and
from the invite-summary and invite-branding payloads in
`server/src/routes/access.ts`.
- Replaced `normalizeIssueAttachmentMaxBytes` with the deployment cap:
task attachments, case attachments, and company import now use
`MAX_ATTACHMENT_BYTES` directly. The helper is deleted.
- Added `formatAttachmentSize()` next to `MAX_ATTACHMENT_BYTES` and
routed every over-limit message through it, so a rejected upload names
the limit in human units instead of raw bytes: `Image exceeds 10485760
bytes` becomes `Image is larger than the 10 MB limit`. Enforcement is
unchanged — the same single cap, the same multer limits, the same status
codes and response shapes.
- Added migration
`0229_drop_company_brand_color_and_attachment_max_bytes.sql` and removed
both columns from the Drizzle `companies` schema.
- Kept legacy imports working: the portability company manifest schema
is non-strict, so older packages carrying the retired keys still import
with the keys ignored.
- Updated the skill API reference and the implementation spec, and
pruned the token-extraction allowlist entries that the removed code made
stale.
## Verification
Commands run from the repository root:
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — pass
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` — pass (includes
`check:migrations`, which validates the new migration number and journal
entry)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — pass
- server typecheck via `node_modules/.bin/tsc --noEmit` in `server/` —
pass. `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` could not run
locally because it builds the Rust runner first and `cargo` is not
installed on this machine; the TypeScript step it wraps is the command
above.
- `npx vitest run packages/shared/src/validators/company.test.ts` — 6
passed
- `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts` — 90
passed
- `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/attachment-types.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/assets.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-attachment-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/cases-routes.test.ts` — 165 passed (the
human-readable limit messages)
- `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/company-branding-route.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-attachment-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/invite-summary-route.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/openclaw-invite-prompt-route.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/companies-route-cross-company-authz.test.ts` — all
passed
- `npx vitest run cli/src/__tests__/company.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/company-delete.test.ts` — 27 passed
- `npx vitest run` in `ui/` — 4425 passed, 1 pre-existing failure
unrelated to this change (`OnboardingWizard.test.tsx` "renders instead
of throwing when the browser denies storage access", which also fails on
`master`)
- `npx vitest run` in `server/` — see the note below
- `node scripts/check-token-gates.mjs` — no new violations; the only
reported violations are the pre-existing `PillGuy.tsx` ones present on
`master`
New tests added:
- `packages/shared/src/validators/company.test.ts` — the create and
update schemas strip the retired keys, the strict branding schema
rejects `brandColor`, and the portability manifest schema accepts a
legacy entry carrying both keys and drops them.
- `server/src/__tests__/company-branding-route.test.ts` — `PATCH
/api/companies/{companyId}/branding` returns 400 for `brandColor` and
does not call the company service.
- `server/src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts` — a legacy package
that declares `brandColor` and `attachmentMaxBytes` imports
successfully, and neither key reaches `companies.create`.
- `server/src/__tests__/issue-attachment-routes.test.ts` — the effective
task attachment limit is the deployment cap, and the route no longer
loads the company to size an upload.
- `server/src/__tests__/attachment-types.test.ts` —
`formatAttachmentSize()` renders the default cap as `10 MB`, keeps one
decimal place for fractional sizes and drops a trailing `.0`, falls back
to KB and bytes for small caps, steps up to GB, and never emits `NaN`
for a degenerate input.
- `server/src/__tests__/assets.test.ts` — the asset-image and
company-logo routes both return the human-readable limit message on an
over-cap upload.
## Merge with master
`master` moved while this was open, and the merge needed two
resolutions:
- **`ui/src/pages/CompanySettings.tsx`.** #12243 reworded the
user-facing
copy from "company" to "organization", and that rewording landed inside
the "Brand color" and "Attachment size limit" hints — the two fields
this change deletes. Both fields are removed, so the conflicted block is
dropped whole. The Logo field and every other copy change from #12243
are
kept.
- **Migration renumbered 0228 -> 0229.** #12307 landed
`0228_nasty_grim_reaper`, so this migration is now
`0229_drop_company_brand_color_and_attachment_max_bytes`. Its snapshot
is
rebuilt from master's `0228_snapshot.json` with only the two `companies`
columns removed, and `meta/_journal.json` is master's journal plus a
single `idx: 229` entry. `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db
check:migrations`
passes.
The snapshot was rebuilt by hand rather than taken from `drizzle-kit
generate`, because master's `0228_snapshot.json` has drifted from
master's
own schema: `issue_question_response_deliveries.error_count` is created
by
master's 0228 SQL but missing from its snapshot, and the snapshot still
carries `decision_archive_notification_outbox.error_count`. Regenerating
folds both into this migration, and the resulting `ADD COLUMN
error_count`
would fail on a fresh database where master's 0228 already created that
column. Rebuilding from master's snapshot leaves that drift exactly
where
it is and keeps this migration to the two column drops. The drift is
pre-existing on master and is not addressed here.
## Risks
- **The migration is a destructive column drop.**
`0229_drop_company_brand_color_and_attachment_max_bytes.sql` removes
`companies.brand_color` and `companies.attachment_max_bytes`. It is safe
because both features are removed in the same change and nothing reads
either column after it. The statements use `DROP COLUMN IF EXISTS`,
matching the convention of the recent drop migrations in this
repository. The drop is not reversible: a downgrade after this migration
loses any stored values.
- **Stored brand colors are lost.** A company that had set a color now
renders the name-derived icon hue that every company without a color
already used. No other surface changes, and an uploaded logo still
overrides the icon.
- **API response shape narrows.** `brandColor` and `attachmentMaxBytes`
leave the company payloads, and `companyBrandColor` leaves the invite
summary payload. A client reading those fields now sees `undefined`. The
bundled UI and CLI are updated in this change.
- **Legacy imports are covered.** Packages exported by older versions
still carry both keys. The manifest schema is non-strict, so the keys
are stripped rather than rejected, and a test locks that in.
- **The over-limit message strings changed.** Anything matching on the
old `... exceeds N bytes` text — a test, a script, or a client that
string-matches `body.error` — needs updating. The status codes (422) and
response shapes are unchanged, so structured clients are unaffected.
- **Attachment limits can only widen.** A deployment that had lowered a
company below the deployment cap now allows uploads up to the cap for
that company. Lower `PAPERCLIP_ATTACHMENT_MAX_BYTES` if a smaller
ceiling is needed.
- **Storybook visual baselines shift** for the `CompanyPatternIcon`
matrix story, because those fixtures had brand colors. That workflow
runs only on a PR labeled `storybook-visual`, so it does not gate this
PR; regenerate the baselines if the label is added.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip uses separate server and browser packages for runtime
services and the board.
> - Sentry integrations need an exact SDK version and safe optional
loading.
> - A version range can select an SDK that the privacy tests did not
audit.
> - Missing peer metadata does not describe the optional server SDK
contract.
> - This pull request pins the browser SDK and gates the optional server
SDK on its exact version.
> - The benefit is a clear SDK contract with fail-open startup behavior.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The browser package used the range ^10.71.0, so a lockfile refresh could
select a newer SDK. The server loaded @sentry/node dynamically but did
not declare its optional peer contract.
**Expected behavior**
The browser package must use the audited 10.71.0 version. The server
must load @sentry/node only when the installed peer matches 10.71.0. The
server must start when the optional peer is absent.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Install the project dependencies.
2. Inspect the browser Sentry version and the server package metadata.
3. Start the server without installing @sentry/node.
4. Confirm that the server starts and that the dynamic Sentry bootstrap
does not load an unsupported peer version.
**Paperclip version or commit**
9c57c0f119
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with pnpm dev or pnpm build.
**Installation method**
Built from source.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core change).
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
## What Changed
- Pin @sentry/browser to exactly 10.71.0 as a UI development dependency.
- Declare @sentry/node as an optional server peer dependency at 10.71.0.
- Gate the dynamic server bootstrap on the exact peer version.
- Add tests for the browser pin, peer metadata, version gate, and
fail-open loading.
- Document the supported server SDK version.
- Keep the lockfile unchanged because the pull request workflow
regenerates it for manifest changes.
## Verification
- Server tests pass with six expected skips when @sentry/node is absent.
- UI tests pass.
- The UI build emits the lazy Sentry browser chunk.
- git diff --check passes.
- GitHub pull request checks must pass after this pull request opens.
- Greptile must return a 5/5 score with no open findings.
## Risks
The exact version gate prevents Sentry startup when an unsupported SDK
version exists. The integration remains optional and fail-open. The
lockfile workflow must regenerate the lockfile before frozen downstream
jobs run. The label-gated Storybook visual job must not run until it can
restore the generated lockfile artifact.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code review support, exact context
window details are managed by the execution platform.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip manages AI agents for work.
> - Paperclip includes an observability path that operators can enable
for tracing.
> - The server loads several OpenTelemetry packages only when tracing is
enabled.
> - The documentation calls these packages optional peer dependencies,
but the server manifest does not declare them.
> - This gap hides supported versions and stops Dependabot from
maintaining the packages.
> - This pull request aligns package metadata, runtime checks, and
documentation with the opt-in tracing design.
> - The change gives operators clear installation behavior and keeps the
no-op default.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This pull request fixes a package metadata and installation defect.
Related observability work appears in
[#8476](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/8476) and
[#9672](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/9672).
The server documentation described optional OpenTelemetry peer
dependencies, but `server/package.json` did not declare them. Package
managers and Dependabot could not see the supported version ranges. The
UI and Claude local adapter also relied on automatic peer installation
for `yjs` and `@anthropic-ai/sdk`.
The package manifests now declare the optional runtime packages. A
default install does not install optional tracing peers. The server
keeps its no-op behavior when tracing is disabled or a peer is absent.
## What Changed
- Add seven optional OpenTelemetry packages to `server/package.json` and
mark each package as optional.
- Keep `@opentelemetry/api` as a normal dependency for the no-op
interface.
- Disable automatic peer installation in `.npmrc`.
- Declare `yjs` for the UI package and `@anthropic-ai/sdk` for the
Claude local adapter.
- Check declared peer versions before the server loads a dynamic
OpenTelemetry import.
- Keep the endpoint gate, dynamic imports, and fail-open behavior
unchanged.
- Update the observability and README documentation.
- Tell Dependabot that its npm parser does not read `peerDependencies`.
## Verification
- Targeted server tests pass: 34 passed and 2 skipped.
- The skipped tests require the real OpenTelemetry SDK and remain
pre-existing.
- The pull request workflow regenerates the lockfile because manifest
files and `.npmrc` changed.
- The policy job confirms that the pull request does not include
`pnpm-lock.yaml`.
- GitHub checks pass except `security/snyk (cryppadotta)`, which remains
pending after its authorized wait cap.
- Greptile Review reports 5/5 with no open findings.
- Server typecheck passes.
## Risks
- Optional peers can produce a diagnostic when the installed version
does not match the declared range.
- A missing optional peer does not stop the server.
- Disabling automatic peer installation can expose undeclared package
use in other workspaces.
- This pull request declares the affected packages and adds tests for
the changed behavior.
- This pull request makes no database or API changes.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, with repository inspection and pull request
preparation.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The recovery service detects active runs that stop producing output.

board.
> - The recovery scan also creates delegated evaluation work for the

- Refs #6596
- Refs #7036

- Refs #11544
- Refs #11839
- Refs #11961
## What Changed
- Keep the one-hour suspicious level and four-hour critical level in
active-run API summaries.
- Stop output silence from creating or changing issues, recovery
actions, comments, relations, assignments, and wake requests.
- Store snooze, continue, and false-positive decisions against the run
without an evaluation issue.
- Preserve terminal-source folding, orphan cleanup, and open legacy
evaluation links.
- Show informational watchdog copy and board controls without requiring
an evaluation-task link.
- Document the UI-only watchdog contract.
- Add focused server and UI coverage for artifact-free scans and board
decisions.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck`

- `git diff --check`
- `pnpm test:run` completed locally with 4,772 passing tests. It found
30 unrelated macOS test-harness failures in eight workspace, skill,
listener, and runtime exposure files. The failures use `/tmp` and
`/private/tmp` as different paths, require Linux `/proc` listener data,
or derive invalid HMR ports from the macOS ephemeral range.
- The full Linux CI matrix passed on the latest commit. It includes
build, typecheck, server tests, worker tests, serialization tests,
canary, and e2e tests.
- Greptile reviewed the latest commit at 5/5 with no actionable
findings.
## Risks
- The recovery scan keeps its existing result shape, but its created and
escalated counts remain zero for output silence.
- A false-positive decision now suppresses the signal for the full life
of that run.
- Open legacy evaluation issues remain visible and manually resolvable.
The scan does not refresh or reprioritize them.
- There is no database migration and no API schema change.

behavior and does not duplicate planned core work.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Legacy local adapters run agents that use the Paperclip skill for
the control-plane workflow.
> - PR #7029 removed the required-skill fallback and made runtime skill
selection depend only on stored preferences.
> - No migration or runtime fallback replaced that behavior for existing
agents or non-CEO agents.
> - PR #12138 added core skills to new CEOs, and PR #12147 added Claude
skill discovery. These changes did not mount the operational skill for
all legacy agents.
> - This pull request makes the operational skill a legacy adapter
runtime invariant. It keeps all other skills configurable.
> - The native runner stays unchanged because its protocol supplies the
control-plane contract.
> - The benefit is that new and existing legacy agents can always
operate through Paperclip.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The development runner starts the local API, UI, and embedded
PostgreSQL services.
> - Developers need separate data roots when they run more than one
local checkout.
> - The runner forwarded `--data-dir` to a child process that did not
use it.
> - The migration check and server therefore continued to use the
default Paperclip home.
> - This pull request applies the data root before worktree setup and
migration checks.
> - The benefit is an isolated database and state root for each
requested development run.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #7466
## What Changed
- Parse and consume `--data-dir`, `--data-dir=<path>`, and `-d` in the
development runner.
- Set isolated default home, config, and context paths before worktree
setup and migration checks.
- Keep explicit config and context paths unchanged.
- Include the normalized data root in the local service identity.
- Let `dev:list` and `dev:stop` select the matching isolated service
registry.
- Keep explicit option environments independent of ambient process
instance values.
- Add regression tests and development documentation.
## Verification
- `PAPERCLIP_INSTANCE_ID=ambient-test-instance pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/dev-runner-options.test.ts` passes with 8 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils build` passes.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm build` passes.
- `pnpm dev:list --data-dir ./tmp/dev-service-review-fixture` selects
the isolated registry.
- A live run of `pnpm dev --data-dir ./tmp/data-dir-pr-smoke` became
healthy on port 3101 while another checkout used port 3100.
- The live run used `./tmp/data-dir-pr-smoke/instances/default/db` on a
separate PostgreSQL port.
- The latest-head Linux CI matrix passes, including build, typecheck,
canary, all general and serialized test shards, and all e2e shards.
- `pnpm test:run` was attempted on macOS. Current `master` has unrelated
workspace path failures because `/tmp` resolves to `/private/tmp`. The
focused regression suite passes, and the full Linux matrix is green.
## Risks
- Risk is low. The change only affects development runs that pass
`--data-dir` and matching service-management commands.
- Explicit `PAPERCLIP_CONFIG` and `PAPERCLIP_CONTEXT` values still take
priority.

## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex with `gpt-5.6-sol` produced this change. The run used
tool-enabled reasoning and code execution. The runtime did not expose
its context window size.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Paperclip Runner needs a narrow server trust boundary before an
adapter can start it.
> - The package has durable runner transport, but the server does not
host or authorize that transport.
> - Native persistence exists, but no writer connects PRP events to
those records.
> - A direct adapter must not enter this path by accident.

unavailable to normal execution.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11962
Refs #12129
Refs #12169
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. The change affects the runner package and server
orchestration.
**Problem or motivation**
The server cannot authenticate runnerd, commit PRP events before ACK,
authorize semantic tools, or enter native finalization from a durable
runner result. The application must have this hidden boundary before a
guarded adapter can use the runner.
**Proposed solution**
Add an authenticated PRP WebSocket authority and register it only for
one exact persisted native Codex run. Bind each connection and event to
the company, issue, agent, run, runner, session, turn, item, and
verified runner identity. Commit each event before its cumulative ACK.
Project only authorized same-task read tools. Rebuild the accepted
result and finalization record from durable result and terminal events.
**Alternatives considered**
The server could expose a broad runner API key or route semantic calls
through existing adapter endpoints. Those options grant too much
authority and weaken replay recovery. The server could also add the
user-facing adapter in this pull request. That option would mix rollout
selection with the transport trust boundary and make legacy
compatibility harder to review.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports the shipped enforced-outcomes, governed-tool, and
self-healing-run milestones. It does not add a new roadmap surface.
## What Changed
- Add the durable PRP server authority with one-use bootstrap tickets,
reconnect leases, encrypted frames, bounded state, cumulative ACKs, and
idempotent commands.
- Add `/api/runner/v1/connect/:runId`. Derive its `ws://` or `wss://`
URL from the configured Paperclip API URL.
- Register one authority only after the coordinator verifies the
complete native Codex run binding.
- Commit validated PRP events to `heartbeat_run_events` before ACK.
Reject source gaps and conflicting replays.
- Rebuild accepted results and finalization records from durable result
and terminal events. Enforce finalization owner leases and retry times.
- Project five same-task read operations. Recheck run, agent, task, and
company authority for each call.
- Keep the route hidden. No adapter selects this coordinator, and no
code starts runnerd.
- Vendor the compiled runner TypeScript runtime into the server package
while keeping the workspace package development-only for the server.
- Document the package, database writer, run-log payload, and credential
exclusions.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all`. All
TypeScript protocol checks and 69 Vitest tests pass, including
commit-before-ACK crash recovery. All 43 Rust unit tests and 13 Rust
integration tests pass. Conformance and replay parity pass.
- Run the focused server WebSocket, coordinator, package-build, and
startup-wiring suites. All 26 tests pass, including a clean-checkout
reproduction with the runner `dist` directory absent.
- Run `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Run `pnpm test:run`.
- Run `pnpm build`.
- Confirm that the diff contains 19 files. Confirm that it contains no
workflow or `pnpm-lock.yaml` change.
## Risks
- The server installs the WebSocket route at startup. An unregistered or
malformed run path fails closed and creates no native record.
- Bootstrap tickets are one use. The private state directory uses mode
`0700`, and the state file uses mode `0600`. The file stores derived
authentication verifiers and never stores raw tickets or lease tokens.
- The journal has explicit frame, command, event-window, and file-size
bounds. A bound violation closes the runner connection or rejects the
command.
- A runner event reaches the database before its ACK. A crash between
event commit and ACK causes a byte-equivalent replay, not a second
logical effect.
- The coordinator accepts only an existing queued or running native
Codex row with exact company, task, agent, runner, session, and
completion-contract ownership.
- Existing direct adapters do not call this service. They keep their
current execution, transcript, result, and finalization paths.
- The server has no production dependency on the private runner package.
Its build copies the compiled runtime into `server/dist`; the workspace
link is development-only. This adds no external package and does not
change the lockfile.

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

## Thinking Path

work

channels
> - The Daytona callback bridge uses a bespoke line-framed protocol over
its duplex channel

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

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The CLI can install and start Paperclip as a managed user service
during onboarding.
> - Recent fixes now install the service shim and remove the redundant
foreground start prompt.
> - The service path still ends without a dashboard URL or an open
browser.
> - The server can also move to a free port when the configured port is
busy.
> - This pull request adds a health-aware handoff to the managed
service's actual endpoint.
> - The benefit is that new users can reach Paperclip without starting a
second process.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
After interactive onboarding installs and starts the managed service,
the command ends without printing the dashboard URL or opening the
browser. If the configured port is busy, the service can use a fallback
port that the onboarding process does not know.
**Expected behavior**
Onboarding must print the dashboard URL that belongs to the managed
service. An interactive terminal should open the URL after the local
health check succeeds. A non-interactive terminal should only print the
URL.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start from a host without an installed Paperclip service.
2. Run another process on the configured Paperclip port.
3. Run `npx paperclipai@<version> onboard` in an interactive terminal.
4. Accept the managed service installation.
5. Observe that the service starts on a fallback port, but onboarding
does not provide or open that dashboard URL.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`b6854e61c` on `master`, after #12148, #12151, and #12153.
**Deployment mode**
Local managed user service on macOS or Linux.
**Installation method**
`npx paperclipai@<version> onboard`. The same onboarding path can also
run after `install.sh`.
Related public pull requests: #12148, #12151, and #12153.
## What Changed
- Record each running CLI server's PID, selected port, and dashboard URL
in atomic per-instance runtime metadata.
- Accept runtime metadata only when its PID matches the active managed
service.
- Wait for the selected runtime endpoint to report healthy before
printing its URL.
- Open the URL in interactive terminals and keep headless runs
browser-free.
- Keep the printed configured URL as a fallback when runtime discovery
fails.
- Use browser-launch wording that only claims the URL was sent to the
opener.
- Add runtime metadata, fallback-port, health handoff, headless, and
failure-path tests.
- Document the managed service dashboard handoff.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run cli/src/__tests__/onboard-service.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/runtime-info.test.ts cli/src/__tests__/onboard.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/open-url.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/service-health-check.test.ts` — 44 tests passed.
- `node --test scripts/service-onboard-smoke.test.mjs` — 4 tests passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed on head `82920596a`.
- `pnpm build` — passed on head `82920596a`.
- `pnpm test:run` — 4,685 tests passed. The command also reported 31
failures in nine server test files outside this change. This machine
generated invalid test ports above 65,535, and some project-skill
fixtures resolved outside the worktree.
## Risks
- Risk is low because the new handoff runs only after a successful
service installation.
- Onboarding can wait up to 60 seconds when runtime metadata or the
health check does not become ready.
- Runtime metadata is matched to the supervisor PID, so stale or
foreground-process metadata is ignored.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent execution currently uses direct adapters inside the server
process.
> - The proposed Paperclip Runner adds a separate process and a new
protocol boundary.
> - This boundary needs clear trust, recovery, rollout, and
compatibility rules before code lands.
> - Large runner changes are difficult to review as one pull request.
> - This pull request defines the first small boundary for the runner
series.
> - The benefit is a stable design contract for later implementation
pull requests.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Issue type**
Missing documentation.
**Where is the issue?**
The repository does not have a concise architecture decision or
compatibility contract for Paperclip Runner.
**What's wrong?**
The available runner design material is too large for normal review. It
mixes architecture, implementation history, test evidence, and deferred
work. Reviewers need a short statement of the process boundary, trust
model, rollout behavior, and direct-adapter compatibility rules.
**Suggested fix**
Add one architecture decision record and one compatibility document.
Keep implementation details and campaign evidence out of this pull
request.
Related public work: Refs #11041, #11297, #11634, #11639, #11640, and
#11962. This pull request is the first small replacement in the new
review series for #11962.
## What Changed
- Added an architecture decision for the runner process, PRP v1
transport, semantic tools, durable recovery, and additive server
integration.
- Added a compatibility and rollout contract for the default-off
adapter, existing direct adapters, persisted native runs, and the task
page.
- Defined the initial package and provider limits. The first production
provider is Codex only.
- Defined acceptance checks for later implementation pull requests.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` passed with Node 24.19.0 and pnpm
9.15.4.
- `pnpm check:node-version` passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` passed.
- The pull request changes 2 files.
- `pnpm test:run` completed with 4,686 passing tests and 30 failures in
unchanged master paths. The failures reproduce macOS path aliases,
invalid generated port values, and local listener behavior. This
documentation-only change does not touch those paths. Linux CI must pass
before this pull request is ready.
- All applicable GitHub Actions and security scans passed. The Storybook
visual job skipped because this documentation-only change does not match
its paths.
- Greptile completed at 5/5 with no actionable comments.
## Risks
Low implementation risk. This pull request changes documentation only. A
later implementation can still diverge from the contract. Each later
pull request must prove its behavior against these compatibility rules.
I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This design supports the governed tool and
control-plane direction. It does not add an overlapping user feature.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5 was used. The exact serving model ID and context
size were not exposed. The model used high reasoning, repository tools,
GitHub tools, and local code execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip keeps agent lifecycle changes behind control-plane
authorization
> - Plugins can create agents in a paused state until an operator
activates them
> - An agent with a direct configuration grant could not resume these
agents
> - A paused plugin-managed agent also had no stable provenance in its
pause reason
> - This pull request adds one protected resume path and preserves every
other lifecycle gate
> - The benefit is safe recovery from plugin provisioning without a
broad permission change
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #8168. That pull request uses a role capability and also opens
clear-error. This change uses the current grant system and keeps
clear-error closed.
**What happened?**
A plugin can create a paused managed agent. An agent actor cannot resume
that agent, even when the actor has a direct `agents:configure` grant.
The paused agent can also have a null pause reason.
**Expected behavior**
An agent with a direct `agents:configure` grant can resume an accessible
paused agent. An agent without that grant cannot resume it.
Plugin-managed paused agents show stable plugin provenance. A completed
resume stays in effect after reconcile.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Install a plugin that declares a managed agent with `status: paused`.
2. Give a same-company agent a direct `agents:configure` grant.
3. Call `POST /api/agents/{id}/resume` with the granted agent key.
4. On the base revision, observe a board-only authorization error.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `63df7ad2b3`.
**Deployment mode**
All deployment modes. This is a server authorization and reconcile
behavior.
## What Changed
- The resume route now uses the protected `agent_config:update` decision
with `requiresChangeGrant: true` for agent actors.
- The route keeps board access, tenant non-disclosure, and invalid
organization-chain protection.
- Resume activity now records the real user or agent actor, run, and API
key.
- Plugin-managed paused agents now receive a stable provenance reason
and pause time at creation.
- Reconcile backfills only a null reason on an agent that is still
declared and stored as paused.
- Reconcile preserves manual, budget, system, and other pause reasons.
It does not pause a resumed agent again.
- The implementation specification now records the narrow resume
exception.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/agent-cross-tenant-authz-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/plugin-managed-agents.test.ts` passed: 2 files and
26 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- GitHub CI passed all policy, typecheck, build, test, e2e, canary, and
security gates on commit `306edf469c`.
- Greptile reviewed all 5 changed files. Its check passed with 0
comments and 0 unresolved threads.
- The host uses Node 22.22.2. The repository requests Node 24.11 or
newer, so pnpm printed engine warnings.
- A broad `pnpm test:run` attempt did not complete its general-server
group. Runtime port fixtures failed because host port `52000` was
already bound. The isolated failing fixture reproduced the same port
conflict. The focused feature tests passed before and after the final
commit.
## Risks
The main risk is an unintended lifecycle permission increase. The change
limits agent access to resume only. It requires a protected
direct-change decision. It does not open pause, clear-error, terminate,
approval, or key-management routes. Tests cover denial, self-denial,
tenant isolation, organization-chain checks, and activity attribution.
There is no database migration.
> This change fixes a narrow gap in the completed plugin, approval, and
activity-log roadmap areas. It does not add a new roadmap feature.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex `gpt-5.6-sol`, with xhigh reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The runtime did not expose its context-window size.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The recovery service restores execution when a task loses its live
path.
> - The service retries the original agent for a limited number of
attempts.
> - The old fallback could select a manager or an executive and wake
that agent.

decision.

recovery decision to the board.

Refs: #11817
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This improves stranded-task recovery in the server and the recovery
action card in the board UI.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: server recovery orchestration, recovery observability,
board UI, and execution documentation.
**Current behavior**
Paperclip retries the original agent for a limited number of attempts.
After the retry limit, it can select a manager, task creator, CTO, or
CEO as a recovery owner. It can then wake that substitute agent. The
source task keeps its assignee, but the automatic substitute wake
creates an implicit takeover path.
**Proposed behavior**
Paperclip keeps the limited retry path for the original agent. If
recovery is exhausted or unsafe, Paperclip creates one board-owned
source recovery action. It keeps both source assignee fields. It does
not wake a substitute agent. The board can repair, retry the original
owner, explicitly reassign, or resolve the task.
**Reason and benefit**
Source task ownership must remain stable until a person or an approved
policy changes it. The new rule removes implicit manager and executive
takeover. It also gives operators clear evidence through the
`board_escalation_no_takeover_v1` routing marker.
**Breaking changes**
Automatic recovery no longer wakes a manager or executive after the
original-agent retry limit. Existing active agent-owned recovery actions
remain visible and can resolve. Paperclip does not schedule a new
takeover wake for those legacy actions.
## What Changed
- Route exhausted and unsafe stranded recovery to a board-owned source
action.
- Preserve agent and user assignee fields during automatic escalation.
- Keep limited same-agent continuity repair and provider quota
monitoring.
- Stop new manager, creator, CTO, and CEO recovery wakes.
- Keep legacy agent-owned recovery actions readable and resolvable.
- Add the routing marker to new board escalation evidence and
observability.
- Update recovery notices, the board UI card, tests, and execution
documentation.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Run `pnpm build`.
- Run `pnpm check:token-gates`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts`.
- Run the focused recovery and UI Vitest files changed by this pull
request.
- Confirm that a paused or over-budget source owner creates one board
action, keeps the source assignee, and creates no substitute wake.
## Risks
- Operators must now make the final recovery decision after the
original-agent limit.
- Legacy agent-owned actions use their stored contract. This avoids a
rollout-time ownership rewrite.
- No database migration or API response shape changes are included.
- The tests cover concurrent escalation, paused and over-budget owners,
legacy actions, provider quota monitoring, and UI presentation.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Execution workspaces give each run an isolated directory and a
selected base ref
> - A remote-only base ref can fail before `git worktree add` when the
ref is not local
> - A setup failure before adapter dispatch must block the run without
an agent-only retry
> - This pull request resolves both remote-tracking ref forms and bounds
recovery for the same unresolved ref
> - The benefit is correct workspace setup and no repeated pre-adapter
recovery loop
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This PR has no existing public issue. It addresses a workspace setup
bug.
**What happened?**
A remote-only base ref could fail before `git worktree add`. A setup
failure before adapter dispatch could also queue an agent-only
missing-comment retry.
**Expected behavior**
Paperclip must resolve `fix/foo` and `origin/fix/foo` before it creates
a worktree. An unresolved ref must create a human-owned configuration
blocker. Paperclip must not queue an agent-only retry when the adapter
never starts.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Configure an execution workspace with a base ref that exists only on
the remote.
2. Start a run that creates a fresh worktree.
3. Repeat the run with the same unresolved ref.
4. Observe one configuration blocker and no repeated agent-only recovery
action.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`7664e323189bc219d8cbe00433b2e82b682b0504`
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with `pnpm dev`.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific. The failure occurs before adapter dispatch.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Access context**
Both board and agent execution paths can use execution workspaces.
Related public pull request: `Refs #11123`.
## What Changed
- Resolve remote-only base refs with the authenticated fetch helper
before `git worktree add`.
- Support both unqualified refs and remote-tracking refs.
- Raise a `configuration_incomplete` blocker when the requested ref
remains unresolved.
- Suppress missing-comment retries when setup fails before adapter
dispatch.
- Add the requested ref to the recovery fingerprint to bound identical
recovery actions.
- Add focused tests and update the execution semantics document.
## Verification
- `tsc --noEmit` passed for the changed server code.
- Focused Vitest suites passed, including four base-ref tests,
fingerprint deduplication, and pre-adapter retry suppression.
- GitHub Actions must run the full pull request gate.
## Risks
Low risk. The change affects workspace setup before adapter dispatch.
Existing worktree reuse remains unchanged. An unresolved ref now creates
a clear configuration blocker instead of starting an adapter run.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5; exact model ID `gpt-5`; agentic tool use and repository
review.

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

or recovery path.

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

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server emits OpenTelemetry spans so operators can trace agent
work
> - Each span needs a service version that identifies the code that
produced it
> - The current service version comes from a static environment value
and can become stale after a rebuild
> - This pull request records the built commit and resolves the service
version from the build stamp, runtime Git, the environment, or an
unknown fallback
> - The benefit is trace data that identifies the correct built commit
during development and deployment
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The server used a static `OTEL_SERVICE_VERSION` value for every
OpenTelemetry span. Rebuilds could produce traces with an old commit
value.
**Expected behavior**
The server should report the built commit when a build stamp exists. It
should use runtime Git, the environment value, or `unknown` as fallback.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Set `OTEL_SERVICE_VERSION` to an old commit value.
2. Build the server at a different commit.
3. Start the server and inspect the OpenTelemetry service version.
4. Confirm that the built commit takes precedence over the old
environment value.
## What Changed
- Add a build script that writes the short Git commit to
`dist/build-info.json`.
- Resolve `service.version` from the build stamp, runtime Git, the
environment, or `unknown`.
- Log the resolved service version once during server startup.
- Add tests for the resolution order and safe behavior without Git.
- Document the resolution order in `doc/observability.md`.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server build`
- `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/service-version.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- Confirm that the build stamp contains the short commit.
- Confirm that the stamp wins over the environment value.
- Confirm that a build without Git exits successfully without a stamp.
## Risks
The server now prefers the built commit over `OTEL_SERVICE_VERSION`. A
build without Git uses the existing environment value or `unknown`. The
change needs no schema migration and has a single-commit rollback path.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution. The runtime does not
expose the context window size or reasoning mode.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Its release pipeline publishes a set of npm packages from CI with
npm trusted publishing (GitHub OIDC), gated by
`scripts/release-package-manifest.json`
> - A brand-new package name cannot be published by CI directly: the PR
bootstrap gate requires the name to resolve on npm, and a
trusted-publisher rule can only be configured after the package page
exists
> - The current bootstrap helper closes that gap by building the package
locally and publishing its real output from a maintainer machine —
before the PR that adds the package has passed CI or review
> - This pull request replaces that flow: the helper now publishes a
minimal deprecated placeholder at version `0.0.0` that only reserves the
name, so every real version ships from CI
> - The benefit is that unreviewed build output never reaches npm, and
the bootstrap runs from any checkout (including `master`, before the new
package's PR merges) with no local build
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The one-time npm bootstrap for a brand-new release package (`pnpm run
release:bootstrap-package`).
**Current behavior**
The helper builds the target package locally and publishes the real
build output from a maintainer machine. That content has not passed
repository CI or review at publish time. The helper also requires the
new package to exist in the local workspace, so it must run from the
(unmerged) PR branch that adds the package.
**Proposed behavior**
The helper publishes a three-file placeholder at version `0.0.0`
(manifest, README, and an `index.js` that throws a descriptive error),
waits for the registry to show the package, then deprecates it. The PR
bootstrap gate (`scripts/check-release-package-bootstrap.mjs`) only
requires the name to resolve on the registry, so the placeholder
satisfies it. The first real calver release from CI supersedes the
placeholder, and a stable release moves `latest` off it — the same
`latest` window that existed under the old flow, but containing an
explicit inert stub instead of unreviewed code.
**Reason and benefit**
Real package content only ever reaches npm from CI, after review and
merge. The bootstrap becomes safer (scope guard refuses names outside
`@paperclipai/`, already-published names are rejected) and simpler (no
local build, no workspace state, runs from any checkout).
**Breaking changes**
None at runtime. The helper's CLI surface changes: it now takes a
package name only (no directory selector) and drops `--skip-build`.
`doc/PUBLISHING.md` is updated to match.
## What Changed
- `scripts/bootstrap-npm-package.mjs`: replaced the build-and-publish
flow with a placeholder publish — stages `package.json` + `README.md` +
throwing `index.js` at version `0.0.0` in a temp directory, previews
with `npm publish --dry-run`, and publishes only with `--publish`.
One-time passwords are prompted interactively (never passed as
arguments, since they are single-use and would land in shell history),
with re-prompt on a rejected or expired code. After publishing, the
helper polls the registry until the package is visible (a first publish
can lag by minutes; verified live at ~5 minutes), requiring two
consecutive sightings before prompting for a second code and deprecating
the placeholder so accidental installs warn loudly; on timeout or
failure it prints the exact manual `npm deprecate` command. Added an
`@paperclipai/`-scope guard and a fail-fast error when `--publish` runs
without an interactive terminal. Removed the workspace-plan dependency
so it runs from any checkout.
- `scripts/bootstrap-npm-package.test.mjs`: rewrote for the new
interface — argument parsing, scope validation, the generated
placeholder files (manifest shape, throwing entry point, README), the
OTP re-prompt loop, and the registry poll (consecutive-sighting
requirement, timeout, transient-error tolerance) via injected fakes.
- `doc/PUBLISHING.md`: rewrote the "One-time bootstrap sequence for a
new package" section for the placeholder flow, including the `latest`
dist-tag window and the trusted-publishing setup ordering (placeholder
publish → trusted publisher rule → `"publishFromCi": true`).
- `.github/scripts/check-pr-release-bootstrap.mjs` (+ test, + wiring in
`run-quality-gates.mjs`): new informational commitperclip notice on PRs
that need this bootstrap. It fires when the PR newly release-enables a
package that is missing from npm, or adds an unpublished `publishFromCi:
false` package that published packages declare a `workspace:*`
dependency on, and names the exact maintainer command — so contributors
know the red `policy` check is not theirs to fix. It never fails the
gate (the `policy` job remains the enforcer), only looks up
scope-validated names on the registry, and stays quiet on registry
errors.
## Verification
- `node --test scripts/bootstrap-npm-package.test.mjs`: 13/13 pass
- `node --test .github/scripts/tests/*.test.mjs`: 147/147 pass (10 new
for the PR notice)
- `pnpm run test:release-registry`: 82/82 pass
- Replayed the new PR notice against a real historical PR's live API
data (files, manifest at base and head refs): with the registry in its
pre-bootstrap state it produces the exact maintainer instruction; with
the package bootstrapped it stays silent
- Full live end-to-end run: the flow bootstrapped
`@paperclipai/adapter-kimi-local` for real — dry-run preview (634-byte,
3-file tarball), publish, registry visibility after ~5 minutes of
propagation lag, deprecation confirmed via `npm view ... deprecated`
- Guards verified live: an already-published name is rejected, an
out-of-scope name (`left-pad`) is rejected, unknown options (including
the removed `--otp`) are rejected, and `--publish` in a non-interactive
shell fails fast before any network call
## Risks
- The `latest` dist-tag points at the deprecated `0.0.0` placeholder
until the first stable release supersedes it. This window also existed
under the old flow (which parked `latest` at a locally built version);
internal consumers are unaffected because release version rewrites pin
exact calver versions.
- The registry poll caps at ~10 minutes. If propagation is slower than
that, the helper prints the exact `npm deprecate ... --otp <code>`
command to run manually once `npm view` resolves.
- The helper no longer validates the name against the workspace release
plan, so a typo within the `@paperclipai/` scope would reserve a wrong
name. The dry-run preview shows the exact name before any publish.
## Model Used
- Anthropic, **Claude Fable 5** (`claude-fable-5`) via Claude Code, with
repository, shell, and Git tooling. It analyzed the existing bootstrap
flow and the release scripts (`release-package-map.mjs`,
`check-release-package-bootstrap.mjs`, `release.sh` dist-tag handling),
wrote the replacement script and tests, updated the documentation, and
ran the verification above.

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

## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex with the `gpt-5` model family. The serving snapshot and
context-window size are not exposed. The agent used reasoning,
repository tools, code execution, and test execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip manages agent work in isolated execution workspaces.
> - A workspace depends on a valid database seed before it can run.
> - Deferred seed failures were hidden behind a successful provision
status.
> - The seed restore also had two possible owners for the embedded
PostgreSQL process.
> - That allowed the target database to stop while the restore was still
running.
> - This pull request makes seed failures visible and gives the seed
process sole lifecycle ownership.
> - The benefit is that workspace provisioning reports the real result
and does not stop its own target database.

**What happened?**
Initial worktree provisioning could report success before its deferred
database seed completed. The seed restore could also reuse a target
embedded PostgreSQL process with another shutdown owner. This could stop
the target database during the restore.
**Expected behavior**
Workspace status must show a failed deferred seed as a failure. The seed
restore must own the target embedded PostgreSQL process until restore,
migration, and validation finish.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Provision a worktree with deferred database seeding.
2. Make the seed manifest end in a failed state while the command exits
with code 0.
3. Observe that the provision status remains successful on `master`.
4. Start a seed restore against an already-running target embedded
PostgreSQL process.
5. Observe that another lifecycle owner can stop the target during
restore.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`51a843e135`
**Deployment mode**
Local dev with execution workspaces and embedded PostgreSQL.
## What Changed
- Add a first-class `workspace_seed` operation for deferred database
seeds.
- Require terminal, verified seed evidence before the seed operation
succeeds.
- Surface the seed phase and failure metadata in workspace status and UI
state.
- Give the seed process exclusive lifecycle ownership of the target
embedded PostgreSQL process.
- Suppress imported embedded-Postgres exit hooks without removing
existing host listeners.
- Record a credential-safe shutdown diagnostic in failed seed manifests.
## Verification
- The original deferred-seed commit passed 4 server tests, 24
workspace-status UI tests, shared/server/UI typechecks, and the UI token
gate.
- The original PostgreSQL-lifecycle commit passed 3 lifecycle tests, 3
ownership/diagnostic tests, 1 real embedded-Postgres seed integration,
and the affected package typechecks.
- No local tests were rerun after the clean cherry-pick because the
operator requested the shortest landing path.
- Review the automatic PR checks for the clean `origin/master` replay.
## Risks
- A live target database now causes an early error instead of being
reused. The error includes recovery guidance.
- Workspace consumers must handle the new `workspace_seed` operation
type. Shared types and UI state handling are updated in this pull
request.

## Model Used

suffix or context-window value.
