## 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.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A company is the top-level container, and the company General page
holds its settings
> - Two of those settings did almost nothing: the brand color only
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.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists. The description below follows
`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/enhancement.yml`.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The `enableManagedSandboxOnly` instance feature, and the UI surfaces
that show
a host filesystem path: project properties, the new-project dialog, the
project
workspace and execution workspace detail pages, the workspace and task
cards,
plugin local folders, and the agent configuration form with its
per-adapter
fields. It also improves route gating for `enableIsolatedWorkspaces`.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (`ui/` and `server/`).
**Current behavior**
When `enableManagedSandboxOnly` is on, the local environment disappears
from the
environment pickers and the server refuses to run an agent on the local
host.
Everything else stays visible. A user still sees:
- the project "Local folder" row, its absolute path, and the
Set/Change/Clear buttons
- the "Local folder" field and its "Choose" folder picker in the
new-project dialog
- the "Local path" field and fact row on a project workspace
- the "Paths" and "Lifecycle commands" groups on an execution workspace
- the working directory on workspace cards, task properties, and runtime
service rows
- the plugin "Local folders" section
- "Working directory (deprecated)", "Command", "Execution engine",
"ACP server command", "ACP state directory", and "Agent instructions
file" in
the agent configuration form
A path typed into any of these names a filesystem no agent on the
instance uses.
The project workspace API also accepts a `cwd` write and stores it.
Separately, `/workspaces`, `/execution-workspaces/*`, and
`/projects/:projectId/workspaces/:workspaceId` render for anyone who
types or
bookmarks the URL, even with `enableIsolatedWorkspaces` off. Only the
sidebar
entry reads that flag.
**Proposed behavior**
With `enableManagedSandboxOnly` on, none of those surfaces render. A
project
whose codebase came from a managed checkout keeps its one-line
"Paperclip-managed folder." label and shows no path. The non-path
controls stay:
repo URL, branch, service URL, port, command output, ACP session mode,
ACP
non-interactive permissions, Codex fast mode, and the sandbox toggles.
The project-workspace create and patch routes, and the nested workspace
on
project create, answer `422` with
"This instance runs agents only in the platform-managed environment;
local
folders are not configurable." when the payload carries a non-null
`cwd`.
A `cwd: null` write still passes, so an instance that just turned the
feature on
can clear a stale path.
With `enableIsolatedWorkspaces` off, the three workspace route groups
redirect to
the dashboard.
**Reason and benefit**
A control that cannot do anything is worse than a missing control: the
user fills
it in, saves, and gets no error and no effect. The server rule turns
that silent
no-op into a clear refusal. The route gate stops a feature that an
instance has
turned off from staying reachable by URL, which is the same standard the
Cases,
Pipelines, and hidden-settings pages already meet.
**Breaking changes**
None for a default instance: both flags are off by default for
self-hosted and
managed instances, so nothing changes unless an operator turns them on.
Stored
`adapterConfig` values are never cleared, so turning the feature off
restores
every previous value.
## What Changed
- Add `ui/src/hooks/useManagedSandboxOnly.ts`, modelled on
`useAppsEnabled`, for
components that do not already read the experimental settings. It
exposes
`hideHostPaths`, which fails closed while the settings query is in
flight, so
a cold cache never flashes a host path before the policy resolves.
Components
that keep their own settings read compute the same gate from
`isFetched`.
- Add `managedSandboxOnly` to `AdapterConfigFieldsProps` and populate it
where
`AgentConfigForm` builds the adapter field props. Resolve the effective
instructions-file gate once as `hideInstructionsFile || hideHostPaths`,
so
every adapter hides that path field with no per-adapter edit.
- Hide under the flag: the project "Local folder" block and its
absolute-path
edit panel (a managed checkout keeps its label, without the path); the
new-project "Local folder" field; the project-workspace "Local path"
field and
fact row; the execution-workspace "Paths" and "Lifecycle commands"
groups; the
working directory on the workspace summary card, the task workspace
card, the
task properties "Folder" row, and the runtime service rows; the plugin
"Local
folders" section; "Working directory (deprecated)" and "Command" in the
agent
form; and the per-adapter "Execution engine", "ACP server command", and
"ACP state directory" for `claude_local`, `codex_local`, and
`gemini_local`.
- Drop two working-directory fallbacks that had no gate to read: the
close-workspace
dialog now falls back to "No additional details", and the reuse-existing
workspace label and picker subtitle fall back to a neutral phrase.
- Refuse a non-null `cwd` with `422` on `POST /projects/:id/workspaces`,
`PATCH /projects/:id/workspaces/:workspaceId`, and the nested workspace
on
`POST /companies/:companyId/projects`, following the
`assertNoAgentHostWorkspaceCommandMutation` precedent on those routes.
- Add `IsolatedWorkspacesRouteGate` and wrap the `/workspaces`,
`/execution-workspaces/*`, and
`/projects/:projectId/workspaces/:workspaceId`
routes with it.
- Leave the SSH "Remote workspace path" and the workspace file browser
alone,
with a comment explaining why.
## Verification
Automated:
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run` — 479 of 480 files
pass
(4455 of 4456 tests). The one failure is `OnboardingWizard.test.tsx >
renders
instead of throwing when the browser denies storage access`, which also
fails
on `origin/master` and is unrelated to this change.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run project workspace
instance-settings`
— 45 of 50 files pass. Four files fail on macOS for reasons unrelated to
this
change: `workspace-instance-cleanup`, `workspace-runtime`,
`execution-workspace-runtime-control-conflict`, and
`workspace-runtime-exposure` compare `/var/...` against the resolved
`/private/var/...` or bind real ports. The same files fail on a clean
`master`
checkout on the same machine.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `tsc --noEmit` in `server/` (after
`pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk ensure-build-deps`). The package
`typecheck` script also builds the Rust runner, which needs `cargo`; it
is not
installed on the machine that ran this.
New and extended tests:
- `ui/src/adapters/managed-sandbox-only-config-fields.test.tsx` — the
three
adapters drop the execution engine, the ACP paths, the instructions-file
path,
and every "Choose" button when the flag is on, and keep the non-path
controls.
- `ui/src/components/AgentConfigForm.render.test.tsx` — flag-on and
flag-off
renders for the working directory, the command, the engine, the ACP
paths, and
the resolved adapter field props.
- `ui/src/components/ProjectProperties.managed-sandbox.test.tsx`,
`ui/src/components/NewProjectDialog.managed-sandbox.test.tsx`,
`ui/src/pages/ProjectWorkspaceDetail.test.tsx`,
`ui/src/components/ProjectWorkspaceSummaryCard.test.tsx`,
`ui/src/components/WorkspaceRuntimeControls.test.tsx`.
- `ui/src/components/IsolatedWorkspacesRouteGate.test.tsx` — redirect
when off,
render when on, and render nothing while the flag query is in flight.
- "Still loading" cases for the project properties, the new-project
dialog, the
workspace summary card, the runtime service rows, and the agent
configuration
form, each asserting that no host path renders before the policy
resolves.
-
`server/src/__tests__/project-workspace-managed-sandbox-routes.test.ts`
— the
`422` on all three write paths, the `cwd: null` pass-through, and the
flag-off pass-through.
Manual check to reproduce: turn on Managed Environment Only in instance
experimental settings, then open a project, the new-project dialog, an
agent's
configuration, and a workspace page. No path, folder icon, or "Choose"
button
appears. Turn the setting off and each control returns with its stored
value.
No documentation change was needed. The operator-facing text for both
settings
lives in the feature catalog entry, which already states the contract
this pull
request now enforces across the UI.
## Risks
- Low. Both flags default to off, so a default instance is unchanged.
- The hidden fields are presentation only. No stored `adapterConfig`
value is
cleared, because an import carries adapter configuration written on
another
instance and clearing it would break that flow. Turning the setting off
shows
every previous value again.
- The `422` is the one behavior change for an API caller, and only while
the
setting is on. `cwd: null` still passes so a stale path can be cleared.
- The route gate renders nothing until the flag query settles, so an
instance
with isolated workspaces on never flashes a redirect. An instance with
the
feature off now redirects a bookmarked workspace URL to the dashboard.
- Every host-path guard fails closed while the settings query is in
flight, so a
default instance shows those controls a moment later than before on a
cold
load. That is the safe direction: the alternative flashes a path a
managed
instance must never show.
- Two path surfaces stay on purpose, each with a comment: the SSH
"Remote
workspace path" is a path on the user's own remote host, and the
workspace file
browser shows workspace-relative paths. The instance Adapters page also
keeps
its "Local path" install option, since that page is an instance-admin
surface
the hosting operator can already hide through the hidden-settings
mechanism.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Every company has an issue prefix. It is the visible half of each
task and case identifier, and a self-hosted company derives it from the
name it was created with
> - A hosted or managed instance does not use the create-company flow.
The trusted-header auth path claims the tenant company instead
> - That path minted the prefix from a hash of the stack id, and it
wrote a placeholder description that nobody chose
> - So a hosted company showed opaque task IDs such as `PC7F2A-14`, and
a rename never changed them
> - This pull request derives the prefix from the company name on that
path too. It re-derives the prefix when the name changes on a managed
instance, and it rewrites the stored issue and case identifiers so
existing tasks follow the rename
> - It also repairs each company that an earlier build claimed. The
repair runs once, on the next authenticated request
> - The benefit is that task IDs on a hosted instance read like the ones
on a self-hosted instance, and they stay correct after a rename
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists. The description below follows
`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/enhancement.yml`.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The tenant company claim in `resolveCloudTenantActor`
(`server/src/middleware/auth.ts`) and the company update in
`companyService.update` (`server/src/services/companies.ts`). Both
decide the
`issue_prefix` and the `description` of a company on a hosted or managed
instance.
**Subsystem affected**
`server/` — REST API and orchestration services. One small hint was also
added
in `ui/`.
**Current behavior**
A self-hosted company gets its issue prefix from its name. "Acme
Robotics"
becomes `ACM`, and its tasks read `ACM-14`.
A hosted or managed instance claims the company through the
trusted-header auth
path. That path wrote a different prefix: `"PC"` plus the first four hex
characters of the SHA-256 of the stack id. The same path also wrote a
placeholder description, `"Provisioned by ... for stack <stack id>."`.
The result is a task ID such as `PC7F2A-14`. It says nothing about the
company.
A later rename of the company does not change it, because nothing
re-derives
the prefix after creation.
**Proposed behavior**
The claim path derives the prefix from the company name, exactly as the
create-company flow does. It writes no description.
On a managed instance, a rename re-derives the prefix. The stored issue
and
case identifiers move with it, so `ACM-14` becomes `NOR-14` when "Acme
Robotics" becomes "Northwind Traders". A rename that keeps the same
three-letter
base keeps the current prefix, including any disambiguating suffix.
A self-hosted instance is unchanged. A rename there still keeps the
prefix the
company was created with.
Companies that an earlier build already claimed get a one-time repair on
their
next authenticated request. The repair re-derives the prefix from the
current
name, re-keys the identifiers, and clears the placeholder description.
**Reason and benefit**
A task ID is the primary handle for a task. People type it, paste it
into chat,
and read it in a URL. On a hosted instance that handle was an opaque
hash, and
it disagreed with the company name that the same user chose during
signup. The
name is the only prefix source a hosted user ever supplies, so the
prefix now
follows it.
**Breaking changes**
Yes, on hosted and managed instances only. A company rename now rewrites
the
stored issue and case identifiers. Links that carry an old identifier
stop
resolving after the rename. The company settings page states this before
the
user saves. The one-time repair applies the same rewrite once to
companies that
carry the old hash prefix. Self-hosted behavior does not change.
## What Changed
- Added `server/src/services/issue-prefix.ts`. It holds the prefix
helpers that
used to live inside the `companyService` closure:
`ISSUE_PREFIX_FALLBACK`,
`deriveIssuePrefixBase`, `issuePrefixSuffixForAttempt`, and
`isIssuePrefixConflict`. The companies service now imports them.
- Added `pickAvailableIssuePrefix` to that module. It reads the prefixes
in one
base family and returns the first free candidate. A standalone `INSERT`
can
retry on a unique violation, because each failed statement is its own
implicit
transaction. A caller that already holds a transaction cannot, because
the
violation aborts the whole transaction. Such a caller picks first, then
writes.
- Added `rekeyCompanyIssueIdentifiers` to that module. It rewrites the
prefix of
the stored `issues.identifier` and `cases.identifier` values of one
company in
the caller's transaction, and it returns the two row counts.
- `companyService.update` re-derives the prefix when the name changes on
a
managed instance, re-keys both tables in the same transaction, and
writes a
`company.updated` activity entry after the commit.
- `resolveCloudTenantActor` claims the company with a name-derived
prefix and a
null description. The claim retries with the next suffix when the prefix
is
taken.
- `resolveCloudTenantActor` also runs a one-time repair for companies
that carry
the old hash prefix. An exact-match fence on the update lets a
concurrent
rename win. The repair is idempotent, because its guards stop matching
after
it lands.
- The rename takes a row lock on the company before it compares anything
against
it, and it re-keys from the prefix it reads under that lock. Only patch
and
environment facts gate the lock, so no stale read can steer the
decision. Two
overlapping updates would otherwise leave a company whose prefix
disagrees with
its own identifiers, in either direction: two renames, where the second
re-keys
from a prefix the first already moved; or a rename plus a stale form
that
resubmits the original name, where the second sees an unchanged name,
skips
re-derivation, and restores the old name on top of the first rename's
prefix.
Only a managed instance takes the lock, and only for an update that
carries a
name.
- Both helpers compare an exact identifier head instead of a LIKE
pattern. A
stored prefix is data, so it must never be read as a pattern.
- The company settings page shows a hint under the name field on a
managed
instance: renaming can change the task ID prefix.
## Verification
Automated tests:
```
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run \
src/services/issue-prefix.test.ts \
src/__tests__/companies-service.test.ts \
src/__tests__/cloud-tenant-company-provisioning.test.ts \
src/middleware/cloud-tenant-actor.test.ts \
src/__tests__/auth-session-route.test.ts \
src/__tests__/cloud-routes.test.ts \
src/__tests__/cloud-instance.test.ts \
src/__tests__/company-branding-route.test.ts \
src/__tests__/company-cloud-floor.test.ts \
src/__tests__/companies-route-cross-company-authz.test.ts \
src/__tests__/companies-route-path-guard.test.ts \
src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck
```
New coverage:
- `server/src/services/issue-prefix.test.ts` covers the derivation, the
suffix
ladder, the cause-chain walk of the unique-violation detector, and
`pickAvailableIssuePrefix` against a stubbed select.
- `server/src/__tests__/companies-service.test.ts` covers a managed
rename
against a real Postgres database: the prefix moves, both identifier
tables are
re-keyed, and the activity entry is written. It also covers a same-base
rename,
a collision that takes the suffixed candidate, a non-name patch, and a
self-hosted rename that leaves the prefix alone. Two more tests drive
the
overlap cases: two concurrent renames of the same company, and a rename
racing
a stale form that resubmits the original name. Both assert that the
surviving
name's base matches the company prefix and that the stored identifiers
sit on
that prefix.
- `server/src/__tests__/cloud-tenant-company-provisioning.test.ts`
covers the
claim path and the repair against a real Postgres database: a
name-derived
prefix, a null description, a suffixed prefix on collision, the full
repair,
a second pass that changes nothing, a description-only repair, and an
operator-written description that the repair leaves alone.
- `ui/src/pages/CompanySettingsRenameHint.test.tsx` covers the hint on a
managed
instance and its absence on a self-hosted instance.
The `substring` cast in `rekeyCompanyIssueIdentifiers` is load-bearing
and the
database tests prove it. The driver binds the offset as text. Without
the
`::int` cast Postgres resolves the SQL-regex overload of `substring`,
and every
identifier becomes NULL.
## Risks
- **Re-keying changes existing identifiers and URLs.** This is
deliberate, and
it happens on hosted and managed instances only. After a rename, a link
that
carries an old task identifier stops resolving. The settings page warns
about
this before the user saves.
- **Identifiers inside comment text are not rewritten.** Only the
`identifier`
columns of `issues` and `cases` move. A task ID that someone typed into
a
comment, a description, or a document keeps the old prefix.
- **A lost prefix race inside the rename transaction surfaces as a
conflict.**
The rename picks a free prefix and then writes, because a unique
violation
inside a transaction aborts the whole transaction. Two *different*
companies
renamed onto the same base at the same moment can still collide. The
loser
sees its PATCH fail with the unique violation. The write is retryable by
the
client, and the window is a single statement wide. Two renames of the
*same*
company no longer race: the row lock serializes them, and the second one
re-keys from what the first committed.
- **The rename holds a row lock.** A managed rename takes `SELECT ...
FOR UPDATE`
on its own company row for the rest of the transaction. It is one row,
and no
other path in the transaction locks a company row, so there is no
lock-order
cycle. A self-hosted instance and every non-rename company update never
reach
the lock.
- **The one-time repair is best effort.** It runs inside a try/catch and
logs a
warning on failure, so it never blocks authentication. A failed pass is
retried
on the next request, because its guards still match.
- No schema change and no migration.

work

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists; describing the issue inline per the enhancement
template:
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Company invites live on a standalone settings page separate from the
Members page, even though inviting someone and managing the resulting
membership are one workflow.
**Subsystem affected**
Web UI (company settings)
**Current behavior**
`/company/settings/invites` is its own page with its own sidebar entry
(gated by `company.invites`); the Members page (`company.members`) is
separate. The sidebar company menu's "Invite people" shortcut links to
the invites page and is not gated by the hidden-settings mechanism at
all.
**Proposed behavior**
The Members page carries a Members/Invites tab bar, addressable via
`?tab=invites`. The invite creation flow, latest-link panel, and invite
history move unchanged into an `InvitesSection` component. The old URL
redirects to the tab (still behind its `HiddenSettingsPageGate`).
`company.members` hides the whole page; `company.invites` hides just the
Invites tab, and the tab bar collapses when only Members remains. The
"Invite people" shortcut points at the tab and hides when either surface
is operator-hidden.
**Reason and benefit**
One settings surface for one workflow: fewer sidebar entries and no
bouncing between two pages to invite someone and then manage the
membership. Operators keep the same visibility controls, with a sharper
meaning for each key.
**Breaking changes**
None. Bookmarks to the old invites URL redirect to the tab, invite and
membership APIs are unchanged, and both hidden-settings keys keep
working.
## What Changed
- `ui/src/pages/CompanyInvites.tsx` →
`ui/src/components/access/InvitesSection.tsx` (page chrome and
breadcrumbs dropped; content unchanged), with its tests moved alongside.
- `ui/src/pages/CompanyAccess.tsx`: Members/Invites tabs via the shared
`PageTabBar`, `?tab=invites` search param, `company.invites` gating with
tab snap-back; legacy "Open Invites" button retargeted.
- `ui/src/App.tsx`: the invites route becomes a gated redirect to
`/company/settings/members?tab=invites`.
- `CompanySettingsSidebar` / `CompanySettingsNav`: standalone Invites
entry/tab removed; the old path maps to the members tab.
- `ui/src/components/SidebarCompanyMenu.tsx`: "Invite people" now links
to the tab and hides when `company.members` or `company.invites` is
hidden (closes an existing gating gap).
- Tests: moved invites tests, new tab coverage (default tab, deep link,
operator-hidden tab skips the invites fetch), sidebar/nav suites
updated.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run ui/src/components/CompanySettingsSidebar.test.tsx
ui/src/components/access/CompanySettingsNav.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/CompanyAccess.test.tsx
ui/src/components/access/InvitesSection.test.tsx` — 24 tests passing.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — clean.
## Risks
- Low. Pure UI restructure: invite APIs, membership APIs, and the
hidden-settings registry keys are unchanged. Bookmarks to the old
invites URL redirect (and stay gated). The `company.invites` key's
meaning narrows from "hide the page" to "hide the tab", which is the
same effective surface.

## Thinking Path

work

the Heartbeats page, an instance-wide list of scheduler heartbeat agents
with enable/disable toggles

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists; describing the issue inline per the enhancement
template:
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The instance settings surface — specifically the Settings → Heartbeats
page, which listed scheduler heartbeat agents instance-wide with
enable/disable toggles. The view no longer makes sense as a standalone
settings page: the same controls are available on each agent's
configuration surface, and the instance-wide list framing does not match
how heartbeat agents are managed.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: `ui/` (page, route, navigation), `packages/shared`
(settings-visibility registry), docs.
**Current behavior**
The page renders at `/company/settings/instance/heartbeats`, appears in
the settings sidebar and tab bar, and is hideable by hosting operators
via the `instance.heartbeats` key of `PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS`.
**Proposed behavior**
The page, route, and navigation entries are removed for every
deployment. The `instance.heartbeats` registry key is retired; operator
lists that still send it are logged and ignored, so mixed-version fleets
keep working. Remembered settings paths pointing at the old page remap
to the settings root. Heartbeat APIs are unchanged.
**Reason and benefit**
A smaller, coherent settings surface with no duplicated controls; less
navigation noise and maintenance for every deployment.
**Breaking changes**
None functional. Bookmarks and remembered paths to the removed page land
on the settings root; `PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS` lists that still
include `instance.heartbeats` log a warning and are otherwise honored
unchanged.
## What Changed
- Deleted `ui/src/pages/InstanceSettings.tsx` (the Heartbeats view) and
its route in `ui/src/App.tsx`.
- Removed the sidebar entry (`CompanySettingsSidebar`) and tab-bar item
(`CompanySettingsNav`).
- Removed `"/heartbeats"` from the remembered-settings-path allowlist;
remembered heartbeats paths now remap to the settings root.
- Retired the `instance.heartbeats` key from the shared
settings-visibility registry and the environment-variables doc;
documented that retired keys are ignored with a warning.
- Dropped the now-unused UI client wrapper for the instance
scheduler-agent list (`heartbeatsApi.listInstanceSchedulerAgents`); the
server endpoint stays.
- Removed the unused `schedulerHeartbeats` query key.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run packages/shared/src/settings-visibility.test.ts
ui/src/lib/instance-settings.test.ts
ui/src/components/CompanySettingsSidebar.test.tsx
ui/src/components/access/CompanySettingsNav.test.tsx` — 24 tests
passing.
- Full `ui` vitest suite: 4426 tests, 4 failures — all in files this PR
does not touch; 3 were load-induced timeouts that pass on rerun, and
`OnboardingWizard.test.tsx` "renders instead of throwing when the
browser denies storage access" fails identically on a clean master
checkout (pre-existing).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/shared typecheck` — clean.
- Merged `master` to clear a conflict (see below) and re-ran the four
focused suites (24 passing), `ui/src/App.test.tsx` and
`ui/src/plugins/bridge.test.ts` (22 passing), and both typechecks — all
clean. Full CI is green on the merge commit.
## Merge With master
`master` gained the `company` → `organization` copy pass (#12243), which
reworded strings inside `ui/src/pages/InstanceSettings.tsx` — the page
this branch deletes — producing a modify/delete conflict. Resolved by
keeping the deletion: the page is going away, so the rewording of its
copy has nothing to apply to. Every other file merged cleanly, and
`master`'s rewording in `App.tsx`, `App.test.tsx`, and
`CompanySettingsSidebar.tsx` sits away from this branch's structural
removals, so both changes survive. The net diff against `master` is
unchanged from the pre-merge review: the same 13 files, 23 insertions,
330 deletions.
## Risks
- Low. Pure removal of a UI surface; heartbeat data and APIs are
untouched. Operators still listing `instance.heartbeats` in
`PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS` get a warning log and otherwise unchanged
behavior (covered by the registry's unknown-key handling). Bookmarks and
remembered paths to the old page land on the settings root.

the settings surface with `PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS`, but hiding a

stock behavior stay untouched
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists; following the enhancement template:
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Hosting operators need to supply the default value of selected instance
settings (first: `feedbackDataSharingPreference`) via configuration,
without patching code and without a hard-coded, opinionated constant in
the product.
**Subsystem affected**
Server (instance-settings service, feedback service, boot) and
`packages/shared` (settings schemas).
**Current behavior**
Setting defaults are fixed in the shared zod schemas.
`PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS` can hide the feedback-sharing control and
floor writes, but the stored value stays "prompt", so issue-chat
surfaces keep prompting with no way to answer.
**Proposed behavior**
`PAPERCLIP_SETTING_DEFAULTS` takes a JSON object validated against a
shared registry of defaultable fields. The operator value substitutes
for the schema default at read time: a field whose effective value is
still the schema default resolves to the operator value; an explicit
non-default user choice always wins. Never persisted; unsetting the
variable restores stock behavior. Malformed JSON or an invalid value for
a known field refuses startup (fail closed); unknown field names warn
and are ignored (mixed-version fleet safe).
**Reason and benefit**
Any hosting operator can pair "hide the control" with "default the
value" without forking the product. Explicit user choices and
self-hosted stock behavior stay untouched.
**Breaking changes**
None. With the variable unset, every read path is byte-identical to
before.
## What Changed
- New `packages/shared/src/setting-defaults.ts`:
`SETTING_DEFAULTS_ENV_KEY`, `DEFAULTABLE_GENERAL_SETTINGS` registry
(currently `feedbackDataSharingPreference`), `parseSettingDefaults`
(fail-closed for policy content, warn-ignore unknown fields),
`applyOperatorGeneralDefaults` (pure read-time overlay),
`stripOperatorGeneralEchoes` (persist-time echo strip, see below),
re-exported from the package index.
- New `server/src/services/setting-defaults.ts`: parse-once accessor
mirroring `settings-visibility.ts`.
- `server/src/services/instance-settings.ts`: `toGeneralView` applies
the overlay in `get`/`getGeneral`/update responses; persisted writes
never carry operator values. Because general-settings writes materialize
every field, a stored schema-default value is treated as unchosen —
deliberate, documented, and covered by tests.
- `server/src/services/feedback.ts`: the preference-persistence branch
now checks the effective (overlaid) preference, so a stray prompt answer
cannot overwrite an operator default; its local normalize fallback now
returns full schema defaults.
- `server/src/index.ts`: boot-time fail-fast parse with a log line
naming the defaulted settings, mirroring the managed-config posture.
- The hidden-settings write floor (`assertNoHiddenSettingChanges`) keeps
comparing against effective values, so clients echoing a full GET
response keep working. To keep the overlay strictly read-time,
`updateGeneral` strips such echoes at persist time: a write of the
operator value over a field whose stored value is still the schema
default (unchosen) maps back to the schema default, so an echo cannot
promote the operator value into an explicit stored choice and later
changes to (or removal of) `PAPERCLIP_SETTING_DEFAULTS` still take
effect. A write of any other value, or over an explicit stored choice,
persists as given.
- Docs: `PAPERCLIP_SETTING_DEFAULTS` row + "Operator setting defaults"
section in `docs/deploy/environment-variables.md`.
- Tests: `packages/shared/src/setting-defaults.test.ts` (parse matrix,
overlay precedence, echo-strip matrix, immutability) and
`server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-operator-defaults.test.ts`
(accessor, substitution, explicit-choice wins, unset identity,
never-persisted, full-GET echo stays unchosen, explicit non-default
write persists).
## Verification
- `npx vitest run packages/shared/src/setting-defaults.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-operator-defaults.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-managed-overlay.test.ts` — 33
tests passing.
- `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts` — 57 passing;
`npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/feedback-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-feedback-routes.test.ts` — 18 passing.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck` — clean.
## Risks
- Low. With the variable unset every read path is byte-identical to
before (identity overlay, covered by tests). The overlay is read-time
only and never persisted, so no migration and no data risk. Fail-closed
parsing means a bad policy value is a loud boot failure rather than
silent drift — consistent with the existing managed-config contract.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists; following the enhancement template:
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
`PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS` can hide the whole Secrets page
(`company.secrets`) but not individual tabs. Operators of managed
deployments need to hide the Provider vaults and Proposals tabs while
keeping the rest of the page.
**Subsystem affected**
Settings visibility (`packages/shared/src/settings-visibility.ts`) and
the Secrets page UI (`ui/src/pages/Secrets.tsx`).
**Current behavior**
The Secrets page always renders all four tabs (Secrets, My secrets,
Provider vaults, Proposals), polls pending proposals for the badge, and
offers "manage vaults" affordances that jump to the vaults tab.
**Proposed behavior**
Two new registry keys, `company.secrets.vaults` and
`company.secrets.proposals`, hide the corresponding tab: the tab-bar
entry disappears, an active hidden tab snaps back to Secrets, the
manage-vaults affordances are suppressed, and the pending-proposals poll
stops. UI visibility only — the provider-config and proposal APIs stay
live for agents and integrations, matching the existing `company.*`
precedent. Nothing changes when the variable is unset.
**Reason and benefit**
Any hosting operator (a managed cloud, an internal shared server) can
trim the Secrets page to what fits their deployment — for example when
the operator provisions provider credentials itself, so the vault and
proposal flows do not apply — without losing the Secrets and My secrets
tabs, which stay essential everywhere.
**Breaking changes**
None. With `PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS` unset (or set to existing keys
only) nothing changes; older app versions receiving the new keys ignore
them with a warning by design.
## What Changed
- `packages/shared/src/settings-visibility.ts`: new
`HIDEABLE_COMPANY_SECTIONS` group (`company.secrets.vaults`,
`company.secrets.proposals`), `HideableCompanySection` type,
`hidesCompanySection()` helper, wired into `HideableSettingKey` /
`HIDEABLE_SETTING_KEYS`, re-exported from the package index.
- `ui/src/pages/Secrets.tsx`: tab-bar filtering, hidden-tab snap-back
effect, gated pending-proposals query, conditional `onManageVaults` on
both the import button and dialog (the button's "AWS vault disabled —
manage" affordance renders nothing when vaults are hidden), hidden
`TabsContent` blocks.
- Docs: new bullet in `docs/deploy/environment-variables.md` under
"Hiding settings surfaces".
- Tests: registry membership/parse cases in
`settings-visibility.test.ts`; new render cases in
`Secrets.render.test.tsx` (hidden tabs absent + proposals poll skipped;
default render keeps both tabs and the poll).
## Verification
- `npx vitest run packages/shared/src/settings-visibility.test.ts
ui/src/pages/Secrets.render.test.tsx` — 43 tests passing.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/ui typecheck` — clean.
## Risks
- Low. Nothing changes with `PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS` unset (covered
by the default-render test). The keys are UI-visibility only, so
agent/integration API access is unaffected. Older app versions receiving
the new keys ignore them with a warning by design.

work
> - Humans oversee those agents in teams, so each person has a login and
a profile with an avatar
> - Avatars, logos and pasted images all go to one asset upload API,
which files each object under a namespace
> - The avatar namespace embeds the user id, and a deployment can take
user ids from an external identity layer, where a subject often holds
":", "|", "." or "@"
> - But the namespace validator accepted only letters, numbers, "/", "_"

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue or open pull request covers this. I searched the issue
and pull request lists for "avatar upload", "profile photo", "Invalid
image metadata" and "asset namespace" and found no duplicate. The bug
report follows.
**What happened?**
Profile photo upload fails. `ui/src/pages/ProfileSettings.tsx` sends the
namespace `profiles/${user.id}` to `POST
/api/companies/:companyId/assets/images`. When the user id comes from an
external identity layer it can contain ":", "|", "." or "@" — for
example `oidc:example|jane.example@example.com`.
`createAssetImageMetadataSchema` in
`packages/shared/src/validators/asset.ts` accepted only
`/^[a-zA-Z0-9\/_-]+$/`, so the route returned 400 "Invalid image
metadata" (`server/src/routes/assets.ts`). The image bytes were never
the problem, but the message pointed at the image, so the toast gave the
user nothing to act on.
A second case has the same cause. The agent instructions editor in
`ui/src/pages/AgentDetail.tsx` builds a namespace that ends with a
filename, such as `agents/<id>/instructions/SKILL.md`. The "." in the
filename also failed the check.
**Expected behavior**
A profile photo uploads for any user id the app itself issues, and an
image pasted into the agent instructions editor uploads for any
instruction filename. A namespace the API does refuse returns a message
that names the field and states the rule.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run Paperclip with an external identity provider, so `user.id` holds
an OIDC subject such as `oidc:example|jane.example@example.com`.
2. Open Settings, then Profile.
3. Choose an avatar image.
4. The upload fails and the page shows "Invalid image metadata".
Or, with no identity provider:
1. Open an agent, then the instructions editor, and select a file whose
name contains a "." such as `SKILL.md`.
2. Paste an image into the editor.
3. The upload fails with the same error.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at eb86fcd49.
**Deployment mode**
Any deployment whose user ids come from an external identity layer. The
instructions-editor case reproduces on a plain self-hosted install too.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core bug).
## What Changed
- `packages/shared/src/validators/asset.ts`: widen the namespace pattern
to `/^[a-zA-Z0-9\/_.:@|-]+$/`, and reject any "/"-separated segment
equal to "." or "..". A traversal attempt now gets a clean 400 from the
validator instead of an error from the storage provider.
- `packages/shared/src/validators/asset.ts`: add
`sanitizeAssetNamespace()`, which maps any string to a namespace the
schema accepts. It works per segment: it keeps the accepted characters,
turns the others into "-", collapses repeated dashes, drops empty and
dot-only segments, and caps the result at 120 characters. It returns
`undefined` when no segment survives, and the caller then sends no
namespace.
- `packages/shared/src/validators/asset.ts`: export
`ASSET_NAMESPACE_MAX_LENGTH` and `ASSET_NAMESPACE_RULE`, so the rule
text and the API error cannot drift apart.
- `ui/src/api/assets.ts`: run the namespace through
`sanitizeAssetNamespace()` in `uploadImage`. This is one choke point for
all callers, so no caller has to know the rule.
- `server/src/routes/assets.ts`: name the field in the 400 message —
`Invalid image metadata: "namespace" must be 1-120 characters of
letters, numbers, or / _ - . : @ |, and cannot contain "." or ".." path
segments`. The zod issue details stay in the response. The UI shows
`body.error`, so the toast is now actionable.
- Tests: a new `packages/shared/src/validators/asset.test.ts`
accept/reject matrix for the schema and the sanitizer; three cases in
`server/src/__tests__/assets.test.ts`; one case in
`ui/src/pages/ProfileSettings.test.tsx`.
## Verification
Targeted runs:
```
npx vitest run packages/shared/src/validators/asset.test.ts # 22 passed
npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/assets.test.ts # 11 passed
npx vitest run ui/src/pages/ProfileSettings.test.tsx # 2 passed
```
New cases:
- Schema: accepts identity-provider ids that hold ":", "|", "." and "@";
accepts `agents/<id>/instructions/SKILL.md`; rejects `profiles/bad
name!`, over-length input, and `.` or `..` segments.
- Sanitizer: passes identity-provider ids through unchanged, replaces
and collapses the other characters, drops the `.` and `..` segments
while keeping a segment of three or more dots, caps at 120 characters
without leaving a dot segment behind at the cut, and returns `undefined`
when nothing survives. One case asserts the sanitizer output always
parses.
- Route: 201 for `profiles/oidc:example|jane.example@example.com`, and
the storage service receives that namespace; 400 naming `namespace` for
`profiles/bad name!`; 400 for `profiles/../secrets`.
- UI: a session user id holding ":" and "|" uploads, and the namespace
reaches the API unchanged.
Typecheck:
```
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck # clean
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck # clean
cd server && npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json # clean
```
Package suites:
```
npx vitest run --project @paperclipai/shared --exclude "**/dist/**" # 586 passed, 8 pre-existing failures in src/worktree-seed-source.test.ts
npx vitest run --project @paperclipai/ui --exclude "**/dist/**" # 4402 passed
```
CI runs the server suite as ten shards (five general, five serialized),
which is the authoritative full run for this package. All shards pass on
this branch.
The `worktree-seed-source` failures reproduce on an unmodified checkout
of the same base commit and are unrelated to this change. The UI
failures seen in that run were 5-second test timeouts caused by running
two suites at once on one machine; each file passes when it runs alone.
No document states the namespace character rule — I checked `docs/` and
`doc/`, where the asset upload endpoint appears only in an OpenAPI
registry entry and a smoke-lab note, neither of which describes the
metadata fields. The rule now lives in one exported constant that the
API error reuses.
## Risks
Low risk.
- The wider character set does not widen what a caller can write to
disk. `server/src/storage/service.ts` already replaces every character
outside `[a-zA-Z0-9._-]` in each path segment, and
`server/src/storage/local-disk-provider.ts` already rejects "." and ".."
segments and any key that resolves outside the base directory. This
change moves the "." and ".." refusal earlier, to the validator, so the
caller gets a clear 400.
- The API is more permissive than before, so no request that used to
succeed can start failing.
- Namespaces stored before this change keep working. The namespace is
not a key that is looked up; it is a prefix under which new objects are
filed.
- One behavior change worth noting: the UI now cleans a namespace
instead of sending it as typed, so a caller that passes an unusable
namespace gets a cleaned prefix rather than a failed upload.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - People write almost every issue, goal, document, and chat message
through the rich markdown editor, which wraps `@mdxeditor/editor` on top
of Lexical
> - #12317 fixed a dependency split that broke that editor everywhere,
and it added `ui/src/lib/lexical-single-copy.test.ts` to keep the
Lexical graph honest
> - Greptile raised a P2 on the last assertion in that test. It compared
the range `@mdxeditor/editor` declares to a literal string, so it
rejected equivalent spellings such as `>=0.48.0 <0.49.0` even when the
resolved version satisfies them
> - A guard that fails on a healthy tree teaches people to delete it,
which would give back the protection #12317 just added
> - #12317 merged before the fix landed, so this pull request carries it
> - This pull request stops the test from reading semver ranges at all,
and asserts the mechanism that can actually break the graph
> - The benefit is a guard that fails only on a real problem, and a
smaller test file than before
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12317 — this addresses the Greptile P2 left on that pull request.
No public issue exists, so the problem is described below with the bug
report template.
**What happened?**
`ui/src/lib/lexical-single-copy.test.ts` asserted the declared range
with an exact string comparison:
```ts
const [major, minor] = versionOf("lexical", requireFromUi).split(".");
expect(declared).toBe(`^${major}.${minor}.0`);
```
That accepts one spelling only. If `@mdxeditor/editor` published
`>=0.48.0 <0.49.0`, or `^0.48.2`, or `^0.47.0 || ^0.48.0`, the test
would fail even though the resolved Lexical version satisfies the
declared range. The test would report a dependency split that does not
exist.
**Expected behavior**
The test fails when the Lexical graph is actually split or forced. It
passes on any healthy tree, whatever range syntax the editor happens to
publish.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Check out `master` at c8a136fb0.
2. Edit `ui/node_modules/@mdxeditor/editor/package.json` and change
`"lexical": "^0.48.0"` to the equivalent `"lexical": ">=0.48.0
<0.49.0"`.
3. Run `npx vitest run ui/src/lib/lexical-single-copy.test.ts`.
4. The range case fails, although 0.48.0 satisfies the range.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at c8a136fb0. The assertion arrived with #12317.
**Relevant logs or output**
```
AssertionError: expected '>=0.48.0 <0.49.0' to be '^0.48.0' // Object.is equality
```
## What Changed
The test no longer reads semver ranges. It asserts the mechanism
instead.
- Replaced the range assertion with a check that no `lexical` or
`@lexical/*` key appears in the root `pnpm.overrides`. The failure
message names the fix.
- Removed the range assertion and the version-line comparison that stood
in for it. Both needed range syntax to mean something specific.
- Documented on the copy check why it now carries the whole guarantee.
Why this is sufficient, and stronger:
- An override is the only thing that can push a resolved version outside
the range a package declares. Remove the override and pnpm honours every
declared range by construction, so `@mdxeditor/editor` gets a Lexical it
supports. No parser needed.
- `@mdxeditor/editor` resolved its own Lexical from its own declared
range. The copy check asserts the app resolved the same version. So an
equal version proves the app sits on a line the editor supports,
transitively.
- It also closes the second half of the original bug. The old override
list could only pin the packages it named, and `@lexical/extension` was
reached transitively and never listed. A guard on "no Lexical override
at all" has no such blind spot, while a guard on "the override pins the
right version" would have.
The file is 65 lines shorter than the first attempt and no longer
carries a hand-rolled semver evaluator.
I considered two alternatives and rejected both. A `semver` dependency
in `ui` would work, but `ui` cannot resolve `semver` today and a new
direct dependency is a heavy way to buy one assertion. A larger
hand-rolled evaluator would have to cover partial versions, wildcards,
hyphen ranges, and spaced comparators before it stopped producing false
failures, which is a semver library with fewer tests.
Nothing outside this test file changes. The Lexical pins from #12317
stay as they are, and `pnpm-lock.yaml` is untouched because no manifest
changes.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run ui/src/lib/lexical-single-copy.test.ts` — 3 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — clean.
- Regression still caught. I restored the pre-#12317 pins, which are the
0.49.0 `pnpm.overrides` block and the 0.49.0 pins in `ui/package.json`,
ran `pnpm install`, and re-ran the guard. Two of the three cases failed,
and the new one reports the cause and the fix together:
```
AssertionError: Pin Lexical through ui/package.json instead. An override cannot
cover the packages it does not name, and it hides the range @mdxeditor/editor
declares.: expected [ 'lexical', …(9) ] to deeply equal []
AssertionError: expected '0.48.0' to be '0.49.0'
```
I then restored the current pins and re-ran the guard, which passed 3 of
3.
- `npx vitest run ui/src/lib/mention-deletion.test.ts
ui/src/lib/mention-aware-link-node.test.ts
ui/src/components/MarkdownEditor.test.tsx` — 42 passed, unchanged.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change touches one test file and no application code.
- The guard now forbids a legitimate tool. If someone later has a real
need for a Lexical `pnpm.overrides` entry, this test blocks it. That is
deliberate: an override is what broke the editor, and the block is one
line to remove with a reviewer looking at it. The failure message states
the supported alternative, which is pinning in `ui/package.json`.
- The guard no longer checks the declared range directly. It relies on
pnpm honouring declared ranges when no override is present, which is the
package manager's contract and the same property `pnpm install
--frozen-lockfile` depends on in CI.
- The ordering #12317 set out still holds: a Lexical upgrade must wait
for an `@mdxeditor/editor` release that supports it. Bumping `ui` past
the editor's range now produces two copies, which the copy checks fail
on.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The inbound file-sync fallback for a mode-constrained file stages the
file under a temporary name, applies the mode, and renames the file into
place.
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/adapter-utils` and `packages/plugins`.
**Current behavior**
A sandbox target uses a temporary path before it receives the file. The
host then changes the mode and renames the file to the target path.
**Proposed behavior**
A sandbox target receives the file at its target path. The host applies
the mode after the write. A host target still applies the mode before
the first byte.
**Reason and benefit**
The sandbox boundary already protects the target. The direct write
removes an unnecessary staging path and rename.
**Breaking changes**
None. The directory path and outbound transfer path keep their existing
behavior.
## What Changed
- Write a mode-constrained single-file inbound transfer directly to the
sandbox target.
- Apply the mode after the direct write and keep the confinement check
before post-upload commands.
- Scope the protocol comment by transfer direction and preserve the
strict host-target rule.
- Keep directory inbound transfers and outbound transfers unchanged.
## Verification
- Run the targeted unit suite for the changed package.
- Verify the suite covers direct target writes, post-write mode
application, and confinement rejection.
- Run `tsc --noEmit` for both changed packages.
- Review the full GitHub Actions check set after the PR opens.
## Risks
- A sandbox provider that assumes a temporary inbound path could expose
a behavior mismatch.
- The confinement check remains before post-upload commands, which
limits escape risk.
- Host targets keep the pre-write mode rule, so host permission behavior
does not change.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5. This model assisted with Git operations, PR preparation,
review coordination, and tool use. Context window size and reasoning
mode are not exposed by the runtime.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents can pause a task and ask the user structured questions.
> - The answer is durable in the issue interaction, but delivery to the
next run is not durable.
> - A process restart can therefore leave an answered interaction
without a continuation attempt.
> - Native runners also need a provider-neutral question contract before
the task page can consume native events safely.
> - This pull request adds a content-free delivery outbox and an
optional native steering seam.
> - Direct adapters keep their existing heartbeat continuation path.
> - The benefit is reliable answer delivery without changing runtime
selection or task-page behavior.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12202. This pull request replaces the question-delivery foundation
from that stale task-thread pull request. The task-thread projection
will follow in a smaller pull request.
**What happened?**
Question answers were stored in the issue interaction. The server then
made one in-memory continuation wake. A server stop between those
operations could leave the answer stored but not delivered. The combined
native task-thread pull request also made this behavior hard to review
separately from UI changes.
**Expected behavior**
The answer and its delivery receipt must commit in one transaction. The
server must retry pending receipts after a restart. Existing direct
adapters must keep the current wake path. A native runtime may use the
optional steering seam, but this pull request does not enable native
steering in production.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create an `ask_user_questions` interaction.
2. Answer the interaction.
3. Stop the server before the continuation wake completes.
4. Start the server again.
5. On current master, no durable record tells the server to retry the
answer delivery.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Current `master` at `4d82f5eae`.
## What Changed
- Add the `issue_question_response_deliveries` table and migration.
- Store only routing state, a correlation ID, and a payload digest in
the delivery row. The answer remains in the existing interaction result.
- Commit an answered interaction and its pending delivery row in one
transaction.
- Add bounded claims, retry recovery, cumulative terminal state, and
content-free activity records.
- Keep every built-in direct adapter and external adapter on the
existing heartbeat wake path.
- Add an optional native steering seam. No production caller supplies
that seam in this pull request.
- Retain the provider-neutral `paperclip.question_set.v1` presentation
on recovered interactions.
- Run delivery immediately after an answer and sweep pending rows at
startup and on the existing server interval.
- Add focused database, service, route, startup, adapter-matrix, digest,
and duplicate-delivery tests.
## Compatibility Boundary
- This pull request does not change adapter selection.
- This pull request does not start runnerd.
- This pull request does not create native run records.
- Direct adapters never call the native steering seam.
- The existing interaction result stays authoritative for answer
content.
- The migration is additive and does not rewrite existing rows.
- This pull request has no UI, dependency, workflow, package-manager, or
lockfile changes.
- The diff has 19 files.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/question-response-delivery.test.ts
server/src/services/issue-thread-interactions.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interaction-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts` — 4 files
and 120 tests passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed for all applicable workspaces. This
includes Cargo format and check, protocol drift checks, and migration
safety.
- `pnpm build` — passed. This includes the Rust release binary, server
build, and UI production build.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
- Secret patterns were not present in the changed text files.
- The repository token gates currently report violations from unchanged
files on `master`. This pull request does not change those files.
## Risks
The main risk is routing a direct-adapter answer into a native session.
The service checks the persisted runtime mode, and the adapter matrix
proves that all direct adapters use only the existing wake path. The new
table is additive. It has foreign keys, unique correlation constraints,
bounded attempts, and status checks. Activity records omit question and
answer content.

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 family. The client does not expose the exact
deployment ID or context window. Agentic reasoning, tool use, and code

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and their work
> - People use the rich markdown editor to write task descriptions,
comments, and agent instructions
> - The editor disables HTML processing, but the markdown parser still
treats some angle-bracket text as HTML
> - A value such as `<name>` could therefore stop the rich editor and
show the raw-source fallback
> - The retry action used the same input, so it could not recover
> - This pull request escapes unsupported angle brackets only while the
editor processes the value
> - The benefit is that the rich editor works and stored markdown stays
unchanged
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes: #12197
Related prior attempt: #2696
**What happened?**
The rich markdown editor did not start when prose contained a bare angle
bracket, such as `<name>`. It showed the raw-source fallback. The retry
action repeated the same failure.
**Expected behavior**
The rich editor starts for normal prose. It stores the text in its clean
form because agent prompts can use this text.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open a task description, comment, or other field that uses the rich
markdown editor.
2. Enter `Rename <name> to the real name`.
3. Reload the field.
4. Observe the raw-source fallback.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at d785b1921.
**Deployment mode**
All modes. The defect is in the UI package.
## What Changed
- Escape only angle brackets that the parser treats as unsupported HTML
constructs.
- Restore the clean markdown before the editor sends a value to its
parent.
- Keep code, autolinks, link destinations, and existing escapes
unchanged.
- Apply the same conversion to pasted and inserted markdown.
- Make the empty-editor fallback wait for editor initialization and
confirm the empty state.
- Re-arm the initial empty-change guard when the user retries the
editor.
- Add `MDE-PARSE`, `MDE-RENDER`, and `MDE-EMPTY` fallback codes.
- Correct the editor mock and add regression tests for parsing, round
trips, paste, insert, retry, and fallback behavior.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run ui/src/lib/angle-bracket-markdown.test.ts
ui/src/lib/blockquote-markdown.test.ts
ui/src/components/MarkdownEditor.test.tsx` — 106 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — reports nine existing color findings in
`ui/src/components/onboarding/PillGuy.tsx`. This pull request does not
change that file.
- `pnpm test:run` — the local run found four existing port-allocation
failures in unrelated workspace-runtime tests. The focused editor tests
passed. The pull request CI runs these suites on clean workers.
## Risks
- Low data risk. The conversion applies only while MDXEditor processes a
value. Stored markdown keeps the clean form.
- The scanner skips code, autolinks, link destinations, and existing
escapes to prevent content changes.
- The raw-source fallback can appear about 300 ms later because it now
confirms that the editor stayed empty.
- There is no database or API change.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists. The problem is described below with the bug
report template.
**What happened?**
The rich markdown editor falls back to its raw-source textarea on every
markdown field. The header reads "Rich editor unavailable for this
markdown. Showing raw source instead." The fallback appears for all
content, including empty content. React catches an error during the
first render of the editor.
The cause is dependency resolution. The root `package.json`
`pnpm.overrides` block pinned the Lexical family to `0.49.0`.
`@mdxeditor/editor@4.2.1` declares `lexical: "^0.48.0"`. A caret range
on a `0.x` version pins the minor, so `^0.48.0` means `>=0.48.0
<0.49.0`. The override therefore pushed the editor past its only
supported line. Lexical 0.49.0 also carries breaking `$config()` node
changes.
The override list was also incomplete. `@lexical/extension`,
`@lexical/history`, and `@lexical/internal` are reached transitively and
were never listed. Those packages stayed on 0.48 while the listed
packages moved to 0.49. The graph mixed the two lines, and the built
browser bundle carried two
`Symbol.for("@lexical/extension/LexicalBuilder")` registrations.
Commit 04432f82c (#10728) introduced this. It was a Dependabot bump from
0.46.0 to 0.49.0.
**Expected behavior**
The rich editor renders a live WYSIWYG surface on every markdown field.
The raw-source fallback stays reserved for real markdown parse failures.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Check out `master` and run `pnpm install`.
2. Start the app and open any issue, goal, or document.
3. Look at any markdown field, for example the issue description.
4. The field shows the fallback banner and a plain textarea. The rich
toolbar is absent.
You can also see the split without the browser:
```
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build
grep -ohE 'Symbol\.for\("@lexical/extension/LexicalBuilder"\)' ui/dist/assets/index-*.js | wc -l
```
On `master` this prints `2`. A correct graph prints `1`.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at 1ba7b2cc7. The regression entered at 04432f82c (#10728).
**Relevant logs or output**
```
LexicalBuilder.fromEditor: The given editor was created with LexicalBuilder
0.48.0+dev.esm but this version is 0.49.0+dev.esm. A project should have
exactly one copy of LexicalBuilder
```
React reports the error in `<LexicalExtensionEditorComposer>`.
`MarkdownEditorRichErrorBoundary` catches it and shows the raw-source
fallback.
## What Changed
- Removed the Lexical entries from `pnpm.overrides` in the root
`package.json`. This drops `lexical`, `@lexical/clipboard`,
`@lexical/link`, `@lexical/list`, `@lexical/markdown`,
`@lexical/plain-text`, `@lexical/react`, `@lexical/rich-text`,
`@lexical/selection`, and `@lexical/utils`. The `rollup`, `react`, and
`react-dom` overrides stay as they are.
- Pinned `lexical` and `@lexical/link` to `0.48.0` in `ui/package.json`.
The app subclasses `LinkNode` for mention-aware links and registers it
into the Lexical instance that MDXEditor owns, so node identity needs
one copy. `@lexical/link@0.48.0` pins `lexical` at `0.48.0` exactly.
- Left `pnpm-lock.yaml` out of this commit on purpose. The `policy` job
blocks manual lockfile edits, regenerates the lockfile from the
manifests, and uploads it for the downstream `pnpm install
--frozen-lockfile` jobs. I did regenerate the lockfile locally to verify
the result. That local lockfile touched only Lexical and MDXEditor
entries and held no Lexical 0.49 reference.
- Added `ui/src/lib/lexical-single-copy.test.ts`. It asserts the app and
the editor resolve the same `lexical` file, that `@lexical/link` and the
transitively reached `@lexical/extension` sit on that version, and that
the version satisfies the range the editor declares.
`ui` is the only workspace package that declares a Lexical dependency,
so nothing else changes.
### Why the overrides can go
#9180 added the Lexical overrides for a good reason. At that time the
app used Lexical 0.46.0 and `@mdxeditor/editor` declared
`lexical@^0.35.0`. The two ranges could not meet, so an override was the
only way to force one copy.
That condition is gone. `@mdxeditor/editor@4.2.1` now declares `lexical:
"^0.48.0"`. When the app also declares `0.48.0`, pnpm resolves one copy
on its own and the override has nothing left to do.
The override is now a liability. It can only pin the packages it lists
by name. `@lexical/extension` did not exist when the list was written,
so the list never covered it, and the list silently stopped covering the
whole family. Natural resolution has no such blind spot, because every
Lexical package carries its own exact pin on the core.
The existing `lexical` alias in `ui/vite.config.ts` and
`ui/vitest.config.ts` stays. It still resolves at 0.48.0. Note that the
alias covers only the `lexical` core, which is why it did not prevent
this bug and why the new test reads the resolution graph with
`createRequire` instead of importing Lexical.
### Related pull requests
- #10728 — the Dependabot bump that introduced the regression.
Superseded by this change.
- #10724 — the companion core bump merged the same day.
- #9180 — added the overrides block that this change removes. See the
explanation above.
- #9179 — an older, still-open 0.46.0 bump. It is stale and this change
does not depend on it.
I found no open pull request that already fixes this problem.
## Verification
All commands ran from the repository root.
- `npx vitest run ui/src/lib/lexical-single-copy.test.ts` — 3 passed.
- Guard proven against the broken tree. I restored the pre-fix
`package.json`, `ui/package.json`, and `pnpm-lock.yaml`, ran `pnpm
install`, and re-ran the guard. It failed 2 of 3: `expected '0.48.0' to
be '0.49.0'` for `@lexical/extension`, and `expected '^0.48.0' to be
'^0.49.0'` for the declared range. I then restored the fix and `pnpm
install` reproduced the committed lockfile byte for byte.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — clean. The Lexical API
calls in the app still compile on 0.48.
- `npx vitest run ui/src/lib/mention-deletion.test.ts
ui/src/lib/mention-aware-link-node.test.ts
ui/src/components/MarkdownEditor.test.tsx` — 42 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build`, then the `grep` above — the
bundle now holds 1 `LexicalBuilder` registration. It held 2 before this
change.
- Full `ui` project: `npx vitest run --project '@paperclipai/ui'` — 4426
of 4431 passed. I re-ran the 5 failures in isolation. Four passed, so
they were load-induced 5 second timeouts in
`CompanyEnvironments.test.tsx` and `IssuesList.test.tsx`. The last one,
`OnboardingWizard.test.tsx > renders instead of throwing when the
browser denies storage access`, also fails on clean `master` and is
unrelated to this change.
- Real render probe. I wrote a throwaway test that renders
`MarkdownEditor` against the real `@mdxeditor/editor` with no mock.
Before this change it produced the fallback banner and the
`LexicalBuilder` error. After this change the editor mounts a live
`contenteditable` surface and logs no error. The probe was temporary and
is not part of this diff.
## Risks
- This pins the app's Lexical to the line the editor supports rather
than to the newest release. A future Lexical upgrade must wait for an
`@mdxeditor/editor` release that supports it. I checked published
`@mdxeditor/editor` through 4.2.3 and none supports Lexical 0.49, so
fixing forward is not possible today. The new test enforces that
ordering, so an upgrade attempt fails in CI with a clear reason.
- Dependabot will offer the Lexical 0.49 bump again. The new test will
fail that pull request. That is the intended behavior. A reviewer should
keep the bump closed until MDXEditor moves first.
- 04432f82c was a routine version bump and not a security fix, so this
change reintroduces no known advisory.
- The change is limited to dependency resolution and one new test. It
alters no application code.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Issue type**
Outdated (no longer matches behavior).
**Where is the issue?**
`packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/SANDBOX-REQUIREMENTS.md` and
`packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/README.md`.
**What's wrong?**
The Daytona provider no longer uses the documented command wrapper,
package installation commands, or sudoers rule. The requirements
document also lacked a clear statement of the sandbox security boundary.
**Suggested fix**
State that the sandbox provides the boundary. Name outbound workspace
synchronization and the application programming interface bridge as the
paths that cross the boundary. State that a provider must not map a host
path into a sandbox synchronization path.
## What Changed
- Replace stale wrapper requirements with the actual sandbox security
boundary.
- State the controls that apply to outbound workspace synchronization
and the application programming interface bridge.
- State that this repository does not enforce the provider path-mapping
duty today.
- Remove obsolete Daytona package-install commands and the sudoers rule.
## Verification
- Confirm the difference contains the two documentation files and the
test file changed by the follow-up fix.
- Confirm that no unrelated source, configuration, or fixture file
appears in the difference.
- Run the repository continuous integration checks and confirm that
every required check passes.
- Run the repository review bot and confirm its final verdict.
## Risks
Low risk. This pull request changes two documents and closes a database
client in one integration test. It does not change product runtime
behavior or configuration.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, with tool use and code execution. The model
produced the documentation change and the pull request text.

## 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.

**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.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server manages duplex channels that carry data between workers
and hosts.
> - The aggregate byte-ledger ceiling test can race the channel bind.
> - The race can make channel open fail before the test checks the
ceiling rejection.
> - This pull request writes one byte after the open call binds the
channel.
> - The test now checks the post-bind rejection and the retained-byte
count.
> - The benefit is a stable test that checks the intended byte-ledger
behavior.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The duplex aggregate byte-ledger ceiling test scripted data during
channel open. Under load, the host could process the data notification
before the open continuation bound the route. The test then saw
`DUPLEX_CHANNEL_OPEN_FAILED` instead of the intended post-bind
rejection.
**Expected behavior**
The test must open the channel first. It must then write one byte and
confirm that the serialized host-to-worker frame exceeds the four-byte
ceiling. The route must reject the write and retain no bytes.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the focused server test file.
2. Repeat the test several times under load.
3. Observe that the old test can fail during channel open.
4. Run the updated test and confirm the post-bind rejection.
**Paperclip version or commit**
b64fbcd5b2
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with the server test runner.
**Installation method**
Built from source.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core test).
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Additional context**
The change keeps the test-only scope to one file. A previous dependency
change used a separate pull request. This pull request covers the duplex
byte-ledger test fix only.
## What Changed
- Open the duplex channel without scripted data.
- Write one byte after the open call resolves.
- Update the test name and comments to describe the two reservations.
- Keep the change limited to
`server/src/__tests__/plugin-worker-manager-duplex-byte-ledger.test.ts`.
## Verification
- The focused test file passed five consecutive runs before this pull
request opened.
- The test passed with the four-byte ceiling.
- A control run with a 4096-byte ceiling failed only in this test case.
- GitHub Actions must pass the server test suite and all required gates.
- Greptile must return 5/5 with no open findings.
## Risks
Low risk. The change updates one test file and adds no production code.
The test now depends on the open call completing before the write, which
matches the route bind contract.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution. The execution platform
manages the exact context window details.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A new customer's first session ends in the tenant's agent arc:
create an agent, connect a model, review
> - Walking it turned up questions the arc had no business asking — a
role picker using a vocabulary the customer has not been given, a model
picker asking them to judge models they have not met — and chrome
restating what they had just watched happen
> - Each one costs a first-session customer attention at the exact
moment they are deciding what this product is
> - This pull request cuts the arc to what it must ask, and draws the
agent as itself so the arc has a visible subject
> - The benefit is three steps that each ask one thing, ending on an
agent that is visibly ready
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists. The changes come from walking the sign-up arc
end to end.
**What happened:**
The agent step asks for a role from a fixed enum before asking for a
name. The model step shows two "Recommended" badges (on both options),
an "Adapter type" eyebrow, and a model picker. The review step lists a
three-row checklist of work the customer just performed. The progress
strip is a full-width segmented bar.
**Expected behavior:**
The agent step asks for a name. The model step offers the two harnesses
and hides the rest behind advanced settings. The review step says the
agent is ready. The strip counts three discrete steps.
**Steps to reproduce:**
1. Sign up and enter the tenant wizard on the agent arc.
2. Observe the role select above the optional name field.
3. Continue to the model step: both options carry a "Recommended" badge,
and a model picker sits below.
4. Continue to review: a checklist restates the organization name,
agent, and model.
**Additional context:**
The brand pill assets (`pill-1-dormant.svg`, `pill-1-alive.svg`) are
transcribed verbatim into a component rather than approximated. The role
removal exposed a latent silent-failure path — see Risks.
## What Changed
- `PillGuy` renders the brand pill in two states; the arc holds one
instance, dormant through create and connect, alive on review.
- The agent step asks for a name only. The name is required; the role
picker is gone.
- `DEFAULT_AGENT_ROLE` (`general`) backs every onboarding hire, and
`agentRole` now defaults to it rather than empty.
- The model step drops both "Recommended" badges, the "Adapter type"
eyebrow, and the model picker; "More Agent Adapter Types" becomes
"Advanced settings"; the sub-line becomes "Paperclip works with your
existing subscription or API keys."
- The review step drops its checklist; the heading becomes "Let's get
started..." with "[name] is ready to work!".
- The progress strip renders three left-aligned dots at the previous
gap.
- Five e2e specs and both wizard unit suites migrate off
`#onboarding-agent-role`.
## Verification
Run the tenant suite:
```
cd ui && npx vitest run
```
- 4398 tests pass across 474 files; `npx tsc --noEmit` clean.
- Walked live in a local instance: agent step (dots, dormant pill, name
placeholder), model step (no badges/eyebrow/picker, "Advanced
settings"), review (pill alive, new copy, no checklist).
- The retargeted role test asserts the hire payload carries `role:
"general"` and the typed name — it is the test that catches the silent
failure below.
## Risks
- **A latent silent failure, now closed.** `handleGiveHeartbeat` returns
early when `agentRole` is empty. With the picker removed and no default,
Connect would have hired nobody and shown no error. The default closes
it; the guard stays for any future path that clears the role.
- **Behavioral change:** every onboarding hire is filed as `general`
rather than a chosen role. The role remains editable in the app.
- **Behavioral change:** the model is no longer chosen during
onboarding. Every adapter offered here resolves its own default in
`buildAdapterConfig`, and the model is changeable later.
- **Assets:** the pill carries its own gradient fills and does not
follow the theme. That is deliberate — the agent looks like itself on
either ground.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandbox providers transfer files between the host and an agent
sandbox
> - The Daytona file-mapping upload path sends staged tar files without
compression
> - Large raw uploads use more transfer bandwidth and storage
> - This pull request adds transparent zstd-3 compression for eligible
inbound file mappings
> - The benefit is lower transfer size without changes for callers or
post-upload commands
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
The change affects `packages/plugins`, in the Daytona sandbox provider.
**Problem or motivation**
The Daytona file-mapping upload path sends eligible staged tar files
without compression. This increases transfer size and storage use.
**Proposed solution**
Compress eligible files on the host with zstd level 3. Upload the
compressed bytes to a confined remote scratch path. Decompress them
during the existing promote command, then promote the raw file. Use the
raw upload path when compression cannot run or does not reduce size
enough.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep the raw path for all uploads. This avoids compression work but does
not reduce transfer size. Add a new sandbox round trip for
decompression. This adds latency, so the change uses the existing
promote round trip.
**Roadmap alignment**
`ROADMAP.md` lists Daytona under cloud and sandbox agents. This focused
plugin change does not duplicate a planned core feature.
**Additional context**
The directory-mapping flow stays on the raw path. Callers and
post-upload commands keep the same behavior.
## What Changed
- Add transparent zstd-3 compression to `syncInFileMappings`.
- Upload compressed artifacts to confined remote scratch paths and
decompress them during promotion.
- Keep the raw upload fallback when zstd is absent, compression fails,
or the compressed result does not reduce size enough.
- Create the raw scratch file once with atomic exclusive no-clobber open
and write through the retained descriptor.
- Stage compressed host artifacts in private `0700` directories with
`0600` files.
- Remove temporary directories on success and failure.
- Add regression tests for compressed uploads, fallbacks, decompression
failures, and cleanup.
## Verification
- `pnpm --dir packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona test` passes
with 20 tests.
- The compressed success path produces a byte-identical remote file.
- A target without zstd uses the raw upload path.
- A decompression failure does not promote a partial raw file.
- Temporary files and directories do not remain after success or
failure.
- The newest cleanup regression test fails when the production cleanup
fix is reverted and passes with the fix.
## Risks
- Compression adds host CPU work for eligible file mappings.
- The raw path remains available when compression is unavailable or
ineffective.
- Decompression runs during the existing promote command and can fail
before promotion.
- The change does not alter the directory-mapping flow or caller
interface.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution enabled. The model
assisted with repository review and pull request preparation.

Co-authored-by: lockfile-bot <lockfile-bot@users.noreply.github.com>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Adapter utilities run process sessions in local and remote
environments.
> - The remote process-session wrapper uses a probe file to verify
directory creation time.
> - A peer could pre-create the probe path or replace it before cleanup.
> - This pull request uses exclusive create and file-descriptor identity
checks to protect the probe.
> - The benefit is safer cleanup and fail-closed behavior at the sandbox
boundary.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The remote process-session wrapper creates and removes a birth-time
probe file. The old path-based flow did not prove that the wrapper
created the path or that the path still named the same file.
**Current behavior**
A sandbox peer can race with the probe path. The peer can pre-create a
symbolic link or replace the probe before cleanup. The wrapper can then
inspect or remove an object that it did not create.
**Proposed behavior**
The wrapper creates the probe with exclusive create. It reads `(dev,
ino, ctimeMs)` from the open file descriptor. It removes the path only
when a final identity read matches the created file.
**Reason and benefit**
This change prevents symlink-following during creation and avoids
removal of a peer's replacement object. The wrapper still fails closed
when it cannot prove a real creation time.
**Breaking changes**
None. The wrapper keeps its existing fail-closed capture behavior.
## What Changed
- Create the birth-time probe with `fs.open(path, "wx")`.
- Read probe identity with `fstat` from the open descriptor.
- Remove the probe only after a matching final identity read.
- Add focused race tests for ordinary cleanup and file, directory, and
symbolic-link replacement.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec tsc --noEmit`.
- Run the focused suite
`packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target-stdin-race.test.ts`.
- Confirm that the focused suite passes all 33 tests.
## Risks
The change affects shared wrapper source for local and remote process
sessions. An identity read or cleanup failure leaves the probe in place
and stops capture. The focused tests cover the new race paths.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution. The model reviewed and
prepared this pull request from the supplied implementation and test
results.

## 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.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Adapter utilities run remote process-session wrappers for sandbox
work.
> - A wrapper can outlive its host run when the host removes its session
directory during shutdown.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs: #11916
**What happened?**
Remote process-session wrappers could remain after a host run ended. The
host could remove the session directory before the wrapper read the
shutdown marker. The wrapper then treated directory errors as an empty
queue and continued to poll.
**Expected behavior**
The host must receive an explicit shutdown acknowledgement before it
treats the wrapper as stopped. The wrapper must stop when its session
identity becomes invalid or untrusted.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a remote process-session wrapper.
2. Stop the bridge while the wrapper polls its session directory.
3. Remove the session directory during the poll.
4. Observe that the wrapper must terminate with its child.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`7cfbd1ecbe4a40261ba51fed07f624524352ada2`
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with the adapter-utils test suite.
## What Changed
- Add a shutdown control file and wait for a bounded `shutdownAck`
before session cleanup.
- Require `shutdownAck` as proof of host-side shutdown.
- Capture and verify session and stdin directory identity before each
poll.
- Terminate and latch the wrapper on missing, changed, linked,
non-directory, or untrusted paths.
- Reject unusable creation times and treat all identity-check `lstat`
errors as terminal.
- Add focused regression coverage for shutdown races and identity
failures.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target-stdin-race.test.ts` passes.
- The full execution-target set passes: 175 tests across three files.
- The `packages/adapter-utils` typecheck passes with `tsc --noEmit`.
- CI will run on this pull request.
- Greptile will review the pull request.
## Risks
- A platform with unreliable directory creation times can stop a wrapper
earlier than before. This fail-closed result prevents an orphan.
- A transient identity-check error now stops the wrapper. This favors
cleanup over continued polling when the session identity cannot be
trusted.
- Session cleanup remains unconditional after the bounded
acknowledgement wait.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent adapters use SSH environment fixtures to test process behavior
> - The SSH fixture detached its listener process from the test process
> - Teardown removed the fixture directory without stopping and awaiting
that listener
> - This pull request validates fixture state, stops the listener with
bounded escalation, and waits before directory removal
> - The benefit is deterministic test cleanup without orphan listeners
or unsafe signals
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The SSH environment fixture detached its listener process. Test teardown
removed the temporary fixture directory without stopping and awaiting
the listener. Repeated test runs left orphan listeners that held
loopback ports.
**Expected behavior**
The fixture teardown stops its listener, waits for exit, and then
removes the fixture directory. A forged state file must not signal an
unrelated process.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the SSH fixture test repeatedly.
2. Inspect listener processes after each run.
3. Observe orphan listeners or ports that remain held.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit 324e1331f8.
**Deployment mode**
Not deployment-related.
**Installation method**
Built from source.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Custom / external plugin adapter.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Access context**
Unclear / not applicable.
**Node.js version**
Node.js 24.
**Operating system**
Linux.
**Relevant logs or output**
A diagnostic found orphan listeners with parent process ID 1. Each
orphan held a loopback port.
**Relevant config (if applicable)**
Not applicable.
**Additional context**
The change keeps the process identifier reuse check and limits signals
to fixture-owned processes.
## What Changed
- Add one teardown owner for each SSH fixture.
- Stop the detached listener and wait for exit before removing the
fixture root.
- Add bounded SIGTERM and SIGKILL escalation with ESRCH guards.
- Validate the state file before any signal call.
- Require a positive safe-integer PID and safe absolute paths rooted at
the fixture directory.
- Require sshdConfigPath to equal the fixture root sshd_config path.
- Add regression coverage for listener cleanup and forged state files.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck`
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/ssh-fixture.test.ts`
- Confirm the fixture listener count stays at zero before and after the
test run.
## Risks
The teardown now sends signals to a fixture-owned process. State
validation and the existing PID reuse check limit the target. The
escalation has bounded waits.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 Codex. Exact model ID: GPT-5 Codex. Context window: not
exposed in this run. Capabilities used: tool use, repository inspection,
GitHub operations, and code review workflow management.

## 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.
> - The dashboard already shows suspicious and critical silence to the
board.
> - The recovery scan also creates delegated evaluation work for the
same signal.
> - Output silence alone does not prove that the run or source task
needs recovery.
> - This pull request keeps the signal and removes automatic recovery
artifacts.
> - The benefit is a visible watchdog signal without assignment changes,
wake requests, or issue noise.

- 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`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-active-run-output-watchdog.test.ts
ui/src/components/IssueRunLedger.test.tsx` (32 tests passed)
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `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.
> I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This change corrects existing watchdog
behavior and does not duplicate planned core work.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, with extended reasoning, tool use, and code
execution.

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Worktree provisioning prepares the dependencies and tools that these
agents need.
> - The pinned pnpm version calls the deprecated `url.parse()` function
during each install.
> - Node.js 24 reports this call as `DeprecationWarning [DEP0169]`.
> - The provisioning scripts run more than one install, so the warning
repeats in each run.
> - This pull request disables only `DEP0169` at each affected pnpm
install call site.
> - The benefit is a clear provisioning log while other deprecation
warnings remain visible.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The worktree provisioning scripts printed `DeprecationWarning [DEP0169]`
during each pnpm install. The warning came from pnpm 9.15.4 and its
`toNerfDart` call to `url.parse()`.
**Expected behavior**
The provisioning scripts should hide this known warning from the pinned
pnpm version. They should keep other deprecation warnings visible.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use Node.js 24 with pnpm 9.15.4.
2. Run worktree provisioning with a base-workspace repair or dependency
install.
3. Observe the repeated `DeprecationWarning [DEP0169]` output.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit `5cd41b1a9996713efdfdc62373da8045664c7f30`.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source.
**Installation method**
Built from source with pnpm.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core bug).
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
## What Changed
- Add `--disable-warning=DEP0169` to each affected pnpm install call
site.
- Append the flag to `NODE_OPTIONS` so the scripts keep existing values.
- Add comments that name the source of the warning and the removal
condition.
- Add a regression test for all affected scripts and warning codes.
## Verification
- `bash -n scripts/provision-worktree.sh` passes.
- `bash -n scripts/provision-worktree-runtime.sh` passes.
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/provision-worktree-self-heal.test.mjs`
passes with 15 tests.
- GitHub Actions must pass all required checks before merge.
## Risks
This change has low risk. It changes warning output only for `DEP0169`.
It does not overwrite existing `NODE_OPTIONS` values. Revert commit
`5cd41b1a9996713efdfdc62373da8045664c7f30` to restore the prior output.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5. The model used tool calls and code execution. The
runtime did not expose a context-window value.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent adapters stage referenced projects into controlled sandboxes
> - The ignore scan must preserve exact Git path bytes and fail closed
on unsafe input
> - Unbounded ignored-path data and raw diagnostics can harm resource
use or expose host details
> - This pull request adds exact path parsing, input bounds, fixed
failure categories, and saturation-only retry
> - The benefit is safer and more predictable referenced-project staging
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The referenced-project ignore scan trimmed NUL-delimited Git paths. It
also accepted a large ignored-path set and exposed raw failure details
through staging errors and warnings.
**Expected behavior**
The scan must preserve leading and trailing whitespace in Git paths. It
must reject oversized ignored-path data and expose only fixed failure
categories.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the referenced-project ignore scan with paths that start or end
with whitespace.
2. Provide more than 10,000 ignored entries or more than 2 MiB of path
bytes.
3. Trigger a scan failure and inspect the reported reason.
**Paperclip version or commit**
d560bc2ae2
**Deployment mode**
Built from source.
**Installation method**
Built from source.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Additional context**
This change covers the overlay diff, untracked, deleted, and ignored Git
paths. It also retries only typed scheduler saturation failures.
## What Changed
- Preserve all bytes in NUL-delimited Git path records.
- Bound ignored-entry count and total UTF-8 path bytes during parsing.
- Redact scan failure details to three fixed reason categories.
- Retry only the typed scheduler saturation error, with three total
attempts and 1 second then 2 second waits.
- Add tests for path whitespace, limits, diagnostics, retry behavior,
and scheduler code parity.
## Verification
- `npx tsc --noEmit` in `packages/adapter-utils` passed.
- `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils` passed with 977 tests and 4
skipped.
- Continuous integration must run the server suite and the full
repository gates.
## Risks
The scan now rejects ignored-path data above fixed limits. Saturation
retries add up to 3 seconds before a final failure. The resolver still
fails closed for all other errors.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5. The model used tool calls, code inspection, and command
execution. The exact context window and reasoning mode are not exposed
by the runtime.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #7029

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

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

its context window size.

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

- `npx vitest run packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/acp.test.ts`
- `npx vitest run packages/adapters/gemini-local/src/server/acp.test.ts`
- Continuous integration must pass before merge, except for the known
pre-existing failures listed in the handoff.
## Risks
Low risk. This change moves shared code without changing behavior. The
adapter-specific message strings remain unchanged.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5, exact model ID `gpt-5`, tool use and code review
assistance. The context window size was not provided by the runtime.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandbox agents use adapter login routes to start authenticated
sessions
> - The setup-token start route accepted adapter types that later routes
and cleanup did not serve
> - This mismatch could create sessions that no route or reaper could
reach
> - The OpenAPI body schema and synchronous login capability defaults
also differed from the enforced behavior
> - This pull request pins the start guard to the served adapter, shares
the adapter constant, aligns the schema, and exposes login capabilities
early
> - The benefit is consistent session access, cleanup, API
documentation, and login UI behavior
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs: #11730
Refs: #11286
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting server and UI login behavior.
**Problem or motivation**
The setup-token start route accepted a non-served adapter type.
Follow-up routes and the reaper only handled the served adapter. This
could create an unreachable session that held its slot. The OpenAPI
schema and early capability defaults also did not match the route
behavior.
**Proposed solution**
Pin the start guard, follow-up key, and reaper filter to one exported
served-adapter constant. Derive the OpenAPI body from the strict shared
schema. Add the login capability projection to synchronous defaults.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep separate adapter constants and add another guard at each follow-up
route. This would preserve duplicate sources of truth and leave future
drift possible.
**Roadmap alignment**
This change supports the Cloud / Sandbox agents milestone in
`ROADMAP.md`.
## What Changed
- Reject a setup-token start request when its adapter type is not the
served adapter.
- Reuse one exported adapter constant for the start guard, follow-up
key, and reaper filter.
- Derive the company adapter login-sessions start body from the strict
shared schema.
- Add the `login` capability projection to the synchronous Claude and
Codex adapter defaults.
- Add regression coverage for the rejected non-served adapter request.
## Verification
- The setup-token route suite passes, including the non-served adapter
regression test.
- The setup-token session-service suite passes.
- The setup-token reaper suite passes.
- The OpenAPI suite passes.
- The server TypeScript check passes.
- The UI TypeScript check passes.
- GitHub Actions must confirm all required checks after pull request
creation.
## Risks
The start route now rejects adapter types that follow-up routes cannot
serve. No database migration exists. Revert the one commit to roll back
the change.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, exact runtime model ID not exposed, large context
window, reasoning, tool use, and code execution. The implementing
engineer used AI assistance.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The web UI registers a service worker (`/sw.js`) that caches the app
shell for an offline fallback.
> - Browsers only re-fetch a worker script on navigation or a ~24h
timer, and Paperclip is a parked-tab SPA: a tab can sit open for weeks
without one navigation.
> - An installed worker — and the shell it cached — can therefore keep
serving an old bundle long after a deploy, and the server let `sw.js`
inherit the generic 1h static TTL on top of that.
> - This pull request adds explicit update checks (tab-visible +
hourly), applies a discovered update with one reload while the tab is
hidden, and serves `sw.js` with `Cache-Control: no-cache`.
> - The benefit is that a deploy reaches every open tab within about an
hour, instead of some tabs silently running stale UI indefinitely.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11292 (the network-first `sw.js` fallback fix; this PR closes the
delivery gap that can keep clients pinned on a pre-#11292 worker).
**What happened?**
A browser that had an older cache-first worker installed kept rendering
a stale app shell — old feature set, old naming — while the server was
verified to be running the current release. Nothing on the client checks
for a new worker outside navigations, so a parked tab never picked up
the fixed worker, and `sw.js` was served with a 1h cache TTL that
further delayed update checks.
**Expected behavior**
Every open tab converges to the deployed bundle shortly after a release,
without users unregistering workers in DevTools or hard-reloading.
**Steps to reproduce**
Install a build's service worker, deploy a newer build, and leave the
tab parked (no navigation): the tab keeps running the old bundle
indefinitely; the worker update check only happens if the user
navigates, and even then a cached `sw.js` can answer it.
## What Changed
- New `ui/src/lib/service-worker-updates.ts`: registers `/sw.js`, runs
`registration.update()` when the tab becomes visible and on an hourly
timer, and on `controllerchange` of a previously-controlled page applies
the update with a single reload — only while the tab is hidden, so an
update never yanks the page mid-session; a takeover while visible defers
the reload to the next hidden transition. First-ever installs never
reload.
- `ui/src/main.tsx`: replaces the fire-and-forget `register()` with the
new module.
- New `server/src/static-ui-cache.ts` (`staticUiCacheControl`):
`index.html` and `sw.js` are served `Cache-Control: no-cache`; other
non-hashed statics keep the 1h default. `server/src/app.ts` uses it in
the static middleware.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run ui/src/lib/service-worker-updates.test.ts` — 8 tests:
registration, hidden-takeover reload (once), deferred reload on visible
takeover, no reload on first install, visibility-triggered and
timer-triggered update checks, cleanup, no-container no-op.
- `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/static-ui-cache.test.ts` — 3
tests incl. the `sw.js.map` lookalike keeping the default TTL.
- `tsc -b` (ui) and `tsc --noEmit` (server) clean; `pnpm check:tokens`
clean.
## Risks
- Behavioral shift: tabs now reload once, while hidden, after a deploy
lands. Unsaved in-page state in a hidden tab is lost at that moment —
the same exposure as a browser discarding a background tab, which SPAs
must already tolerate.
- Self-hosted behavior is otherwise unchanged: same worker script, same
registration URL, one added conditional header.
- Low risk on the server side: the header change only widens
revalidation.

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists; the underlying problem follows the bug-report
template.
**What happened?**
`packages/adapter-utils` fails `tsc` on master:
`src/sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts(2284,29): error TS2741: Property
'ignoreResolution' is missing in type '{ localPath: string; projectId:
string; }' but required in type 'SandboxAdditionalSource'.` Every
Build/Typecheck CI job is red. Independently,
`resolveReferencedSourceIgnore` returns `{ kind: "failed", reason:
"referenced project path is not a descendant of its own Git top level:
/var/... under /private/var/..." }` for any symlinked project path, and
three tests in the suite fail on macOS.
**Expected behavior**
Master typechecks. A referenced project whose path reaches git through a
symlink (macOS temp dirs, symlinked checkouts) resolves its ignore set
normally, and the descendant check still fails closed for genuinely
foreign paths.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec tsc --noEmit` on
master — TS2741 at `sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts:2284`.
2. On macOS: `pnpm vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts` — three
`resolveReferencedSourceIgnore` tests fail with the "not a descendant"
reason above.
**Paperclip version or commit**
master `29d12045f`.
## What Changed
- `sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts:2284`: the one call site missing
`ignoreResolution` now passes `{ kind: "other" }`, matching every
sibling call site from the same change.
- `sandbox-managed-runtime.ts`: `resolveReferencedSourceIgnore` resolves
both the git toplevel and the caller's `localPath` through a new
`physicalPath` helper (realpath with a resolve fallback) before the
descendant comparison. Git prints physical toplevels, so both sides must
be physical; the fallback keeps the check failing closed when a path
vanishes mid-run.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts` — 61/61 pass
on macOS (previously 58 passing, 3 failing, plus the typecheck break).
- `tsc --noEmit` in `packages/adapter-utils` is clean.
## Risks
- Low. The behavioral change is confined to path normalization before an
existing comparison; a realpath failure falls back to the prior string
comparison, so the fail-closed property is preserved.
## Model Used
Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`, Anthropic) via Claude Code — agentic
coding session with tool use (code search, editing, local test
execution).

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

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

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

options, and tests

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

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Sandbox adapters stage project files before an agent starts.
> - Referenced projects ignored Git-ignored paths and copied large local
directories.
> - This behavior increased staging time and disk use, and it differed
from anchor workspaces.
> - This pull request resolves Git-ignored paths once and shares that
result across all referenced-project consumers.
> - The benefit is smaller, faster, and consistent project staging.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this bug.
**What happened?**
Referenced-project staging copied Git-ignored paths, except for a fixed
list of heavy directory names. A large repository therefore used much
more time and disk space than the same repository in an anchor
workspace.
**Expected behavior**
Referenced-project staging should exclude the same Git-ignored paths
that the workspace staging path excludes.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a referenced project with a large Git-ignored directory.
2. Start a sandbox or SSH run that stages the referenced project.
3. Observe that the ignored directory enters the staged content.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit `9964b034bbff24e700c8eccf5a8b1fc3daa44bf2`.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source.
## What Changed
- Resolve each referenced project's Git-ignored paths once before
staging.
- Carry the resolved paths as a required field on
`SandboxAdditionalSource`.
- Reuse the resolved paths in sandbox staging, SSH staging, and
content-signature code.
- Harden the read-only Git helper with a bounded process, a reduced
environment, and disabled system and global configuration.
- Fail closed on Git errors, timeouts, and invalid path relations.
- Escape tar glob metacharacters in ignore-derived exclude entries.
- Add and update unit tests for the resolver and its three consumers.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run --config packages/adapter-utils/vitest.config.ts`
passes 266 tests locally.
- `pnpm exec tsc --noEmit -p packages/adapter-utils/tsconfig.json`
passes locally.
- CI must pass on this pull request.
- Greptile must report 5/5 with no unresolved comments before merge.
## Risks
- A Git error or timeout now prevents staging for the affected
referenced project.
- The resolver uses a bounded read-only Git process and fails closed by
design.
- The change stays inside `packages/adapter-utils` and does not change
the database schema.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Company import parks every imported agent as a safety default
> - The only surface that offered to activate them was the post-import
checklist, which is UI-only and gone after a reload or an expired import
job
> - A company whose agents are all paused looks broken: tasks sit still
and the dashboard gives no explanation or fix
> - This pull request adds a dashboard banner for import-paused agents
with a one-click Resume all, and a generic banner when every agent is
paused
> - The benefit is a durable, reload-proof place to understand and fix
the parked state
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The company dashboard for a company whose agents are paused, in
particular after a company import.
**Subsystem affected**
Web UI — dashboard (`ui/src/pages/Dashboard.tsx`).
**Current behavior**
Imported agents arrive paused. The activation checklist on the import
page is the only activation surface and is lost on reload. The dashboard
shows paused counts in a metric card but no explanation and no action.
Tasks assigned to the paused agents never start.
**Proposed behavior**
When any agent carries the `import` pause reason, the dashboard shows a
warning banner ("N imported agents are paused and will not run") with a
**Resume all** action. It resumes each parked agent sequentially,
tolerates per-agent failures, and refreshes so the banner reflects
whatever remains paused. When no import pauses exist but every agent in
the company is paused, a generic all-paused banner links to the agents
page.
**Breaking changes**
None. Depends on the `import` pause reason introduced in #12140 (this
branch is stacked on it).
## What Changed
- New exported helper `derivePausedAgentBanner(agents)` deciding between
the imported banner, the all-paused banner, or none.
- Dashboard renders the banners via the shared `InlineBanner`, with a
sequential `agentsApi.resume` mutation for Resume all and query
invalidation for the agent list and dashboard stats.
## Verification
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/pages/Dashboard.test.ts` — 4 tests pass
(no agents, imported preference, all-paused fallback, mixed-state null).
- `cd ui && pnpm run typecheck` — clean.
- Manual: import a company package with paused agents, open its
dashboard, click Resume all, and watch the banner clear as agents go
idle.
## Risks
- Low risk. Resume all reuses `POST /agents/:id/resume` with its
existing guards, sequentially, matching the import page's activation
checklist pattern. At current import sizes (tens of agents) this is
fast; a server-side bulk endpoint is the follow-up if imports grow to
hundreds of agents.

Refs #12169
Refs #12176
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. The change affects the runner package, server
orchestration, shared settings, and adapter configuration UI.
**Problem or motivation**
The hidden PRP coordinator cannot execute a real heartbeat. The
application also needs an explicit rollout boundary before it can expose
the experimental runner. Existing direct adapters must keep their
current execution and finalization behavior.
**Proposed solution**
Add `paperclip_runner` as a Codex-only adapter behind the default-off
`enableNativeRunner` instance flag. Select the native runtime only for
that adapter. Persist the run binding before runnerd starts. Wait for
the durable PRP result and terminal event. Resume the real Codex
provider thread on later heartbeats. Keep persisted native runs readable
and recoverable after the flag changes.
**Alternatives considered**
The server could route `codex_local` through runnerd. That option would
change an existing adapter and weaken rollback safety. The server could
expose all providers now. That option would add unreviewed provider
behavior. The build could depend on a prebuilt runner binary. That
option would make source builds architecture-dependent and difficult to
verify.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports the shipped enforced-outcomes, governed-tool, and
self-healing-run milestones. It does not add a new roadmap surface. It
is the guarded execution step after the merged hidden runner boundaries.
**Additional context**
This is the next replacement for the closed large runner pull request.
Task-thread presentation remains a separate follow-up so this change can
preserve the current direct-adapter UI.
## What Changed
- Add `paperclip_runner` as an explicit Codex-only adapter.
- Add the default-off `enableNativeRunner` instance flag.
- Reject fresh create, hire, import, switch, and execution requests
while the flag is off.
- Allow edits to persisted runner agents while the flag is off.
- Recover an already persisted native run even after the flag is
disabled.
- Keep every built-in direct adapter on its existing runtime path.
- Persist an immutable native run binding and revisioned completion
contract before runnerd starts.
- Execute server to PRP to runnerd to Codex to server through the hidden
coordinator.
- Validate the durable result against the terminal event and exact
completion criteria before finalization.
- Preserve the Codex provider thread ID and use `thread/resume` on the
next heartbeat.
- Strip unsupported Codex configuration fields from the experimental
adapter.
- Build a target-native release runner binary from source and vendor it
into the server distribution.
- Install Rust only in the Docker build stage. Do not add a workflow or
lockfile change.
- Stop the runner process group on completion, cancellation, and forced
shutdown.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all`. All 69
TypeScript tests and 58 Rust tests pass. Protocol, conformance, replay,
formatting, and generated-file checks pass.
- Run the 12 focused adapter, settings, runtime-selection, coordinator,
direct-isolation, and real Codex integration test files. All 186 tests
pass.
- The real integration test uses PostgreSQL, HTTP, WebSocket, runnerd,
and a fake Codex app server. It proves one `thread/start` followed by
one `thread/resume`.
- Run `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Run `pnpm build`.
- Run `pnpm check:token-gates`.
- Build the Docker `build` target from a clean context. Confirm that the
server distribution contains an executable `paperclip-runnerd` built
with Debian Rust 1.85.
- Start the server through the source-mode tsx entry point with the
package `dist` directory absent. Confirm the vendor shim resolves source
exports and the server boots.
- Run `pnpm test:run` twice. On this macOS host, 405 files pass and 1
file skips. Eight untouched workspace and loopback tests fail because
macOS resolves `/tmp` and `/var` through `/private` and because
PID-derived test ports exceed 65535. Linux CI must pass the full suite.
- Confirm that the diff contains 52 files. Confirm that it contains no
`.github` or `pnpm-lock.yaml` change.
## Risks
- The feature flag is off by default. A fresh native start fails with a
stable error while the flag is off.
- A persisted native run remains recoverable after the flag changes.
This prevents rollout changes from corrupting recorded work.
- Only local Codex execution is accepted. Other providers and remote
work modes fail closed.
- Existing direct adapters do not start runnerd, create native rows, use
native status arbitration, or enter native finalization.
- The runner receives its one-use bootstrap ticket through the child
environment. The server does not put the ticket in command arguments or
logs.
- The server validates the company, task, agent, run, runner, session,
completion contract, result, and terminal binding before it accepts
completion.
- The build compiles a target-native Rust binary. Cross-platform release
packaging remains a later concern. Source builds and Docker builds
compile for their current target.
- Docker needs enough build memory for the existing server TypeScript
compile. The Docker build stage sets a 4 GB V8 heap limit.

## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex with GPT-5. The exact deployment ID and context-window
size are not exposed. The model used agentic reasoning, repository
tools, code execution, and test execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - An agent's runtime mounts only its own enabled skills; nothing tells
the model what else the company skill library holds
> - From inside a sandbox, "installed but not enabled for me" and "does
not exist" look identical, so agents tell users freshly installed skills
are not installed
> - This pull request renders the library as a deterministic markdown
section appended to claude-local agent instructions, and adds a
paperclipListSkills MCP tool
> - The benefit is that agents report the true state ("installed, not
enabled for me — ask an operator to enable it") instead of a false
negative
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
How agents reason about the company skill library at runtime.
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/adapter-utils` (new pure builder),
`packages/adapters/claude-local` (instructions append),
`packages/mcp-server` (new tool).
**Current behavior**
The runtime hands adapters the full library list, but only the agent's
enabled skills are mounted, and no prompt content or MCP tool describes
the rest. Agents inspect their sandbox, find nothing, and report
installed skills as not installed.
**Proposed behavior**
A "Company skill library" markdown section lists every skill as
`enabled`, `installed, not enabled for you`, or `enabled but
unavailable: <cause>`, with instructions to report the not-enabled state
accurately and ask an operator to enable it. claude-local appends it to
the agent instructions text. A `paperclipListSkills` MCP tool exposes
the same list on demand.
**Breaking changes**
None. Other adapters are untouched (they can adopt the builder later);
the manifest is deterministic, so the claude-local prompt-bundle cache
only busts when the library actually changes.
## What Changed
- New `packages/adapter-utils/src/skill-library-manifest.ts` with
`buildSkillLibraryManifestMarkdown` (pure, key-sorted, deterministic;
renders the missing-cause detail from #12146).
- `packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/execute.ts` appends the
manifest to `combinedInstructionsContents` (creating it when no
instructions file is configured).
- `packages/mcp-server/src/tools.ts` adds `paperclipListSkills` hitting
`GET /companies/:companyId/skills`.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/skill-library-manifest.test.ts` (from repo
root) — 3 tests: byte-identical output for shuffled input, state
rendering incl. the unavailable cause, change detection.
- `cd packages/mcp-server && npx vitest run` — new tool routing test
passes (13 passed; 1 pre-existing failure on my machine reproduces
unchanged at the branch base).
- `cd packages/adapters/claude-local && npx vitest run` — 244 passed, 1
skipped.
- `pnpm run typecheck` clean in adapter-utils, mcp-server, claude-local.
## Risks
- Prompt growth is one line per installed skill plus a five-line header
— bounded and only present when the library is non-empty. Stacked on
#12146 so the manifest's "enabled but unavailable" state reflects real
materialization failures.
## Model Used
- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`, Anthropic) with extended thinking
and tool use, via Claude Code.
