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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The UI test suite protects the board route table
> - The Cases routing regression test needs only the route table and
sentinel pages
> - The test initialized the full cloud access query flow for each route
> - That unrelated setup made the two assertions spend several seconds
polling
> - This pull request isolates the routing dependency and removes the
long timeout
> - The benefit is faster and more focused route regression coverage
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The Cases routing regression test initialized cloud health, session, and
board access queries. Its two route assertions spent about 6.69 seconds
in test execution.
**Expected behavior**
The route regression test must bypass unrelated cloud access checks and
resolve the two route assertions synchronously.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run `pnpm --dir ui exec vitest run src/App.cases-routing.test.tsx` on
the base commit.
2. Inspect the Vitest test duration.
3. Observe that the test waits through unrelated query transitions.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`7301fae942c3d5826974335cb40d6f1e0d95d1e0`
**Deployment mode**
Built from source. The defect affects the UI unit test suite.
Related pull request: #9198 introduced the Cases route regression
coverage.
## What Changed
- Mock `CloudAccessGate` at the routing boundary.
- Import the app after hoisted CSS setup and module mocks.
- Remove the query client and three unrelated API mocks.
- Replace long polling with a bounded three-turn route wait.
- Remove the custom 20-second test timeouts.
## Verification
- `pnpm --dir ui exec vitest run src/App.cases-routing.test.tsx`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
The focused run passed both tests. Test execution changed from about
6.69 seconds on the base commit to 40 milliseconds on this branch.
## Risks
Low risk. The production route table is unchanged. The test still
renders the real `App` route table and the same sentinel pages.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Execution workspaces can inherit runtime services from a project
workspace
> - A project workspace keeps current and historical runtime service
rows
> - The execution workspace read path returned all current rows,
including services removed from the current configuration
> - This pull request matches inherited rows to the current service
definitions
> - The benefit is bounded workspace payloads and accurate service
summaries
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Shared execution workspaces returned current historical service rows
that no longer matched the project workspace configuration. The response
size multiplied across every shared execution workspace.
**Expected behavior**
Shared execution workspaces must return only the newest runtime service
row for each service in the current project workspace configuration.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create one project workspace with many historical runtime service
rows.
2. Create many shared execution workspaces that inherit that project
workspace.
3. List the execution workspaces and inspect each `runtimeServices`
array.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`7301fae942c3d5826974335cb40d6f1e0d95d1e0`
**Deployment mode**
Built from source. The defect is in the server read model and is not
deployment-specific.
No duplicate or related public issue or pull request was found.
## What Changed
- Select only runtime service rows that match the current project
workspace service definitions.
- Preserve each matched service definition index in the API result.
- Avoid loading direct execution service rows for workspaces that
inherit project services.
- Add unit, integration, and volume regression coverage.
## Verification
- `pnpm --dir server exec vitest run
src/services/workspace-runtime-read-model.test.ts
src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts -t
'selectConfiguredRuntimeServiceRows|returns full details at the observed
volume|inherits only runtime-service rows'`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
The focused test run passed 4 tests and skipped 27 unrelated tests.
## Risks
The read path now omits service rows that do not match the current
configuration. This is the intended behavior for inherited runtime
services. The change does not alter service persistence or lifecycle
transitions.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies
> - Managed updates can change both the application payload and its
database schema
> - Unit tests cannot prove that an older live install upgrades through
a real migration and remains recoverable
> - The managed-install work in #10045 needs a repeatable cross-version
system test
> - This pull request adds an isolated end-to-end harness for update,
migration, backup, service restart, and rollback behavior
> - The benefit is a direct proof that managed upgrades preserve the
existing database and service lifecycle across versions
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #10045
This test is a focused follow-up to the managed install integration.
Merge #10045 first so the tested install, update, service, backup, and
rollback commands are available.
## What Changed
- Added a cross-version managed-update E2E script.
- Installed an older Git ref, initialized its embedded PostgreSQL
database, and updated to a ref with one additional migration.
- Verified the pre-update backup, payload switch, service recovery,
migration result, database-cluster reuse, and rollback behavior.
- Isolated Paperclip state under a dedicated test home and cleaned up
the service and managed install on success or failure.
- Added regression tests for shell syntax, required-ref validation,
side-effect-free preflight failure, and complete failure cleanup.
## Verification
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/e2e-update-migrations.test.mjs`
- `bash -n scripts/e2e-update-migrations.sh`
- GitHub latest-head CI: build, typecheck, release registry, canary
dry-run, general tests, serialized suites, and both browser E2E shards
passed.
- Full harness execution needs an isolated macOS or Linux host with a
real launchd or systemd user service. It is intentionally not run on a
live Paperclip server host.
## Risks
- The script manages a real user service and downloads two Git refs. Run
it only on an isolated test host.
- The test needs #10045 because `origin/master` does not yet contain the
managed install lifecycle.
- The script uses a dedicated `PAPERCLIP_HOME`, refuses a pre-existing
shim or test home, and removes its service and install during cleanup.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip uses company skills to give agents repeatable operating
workflows.
> - The garden-inbox skill asks a user to confirm reversible archive
candidates.
> - A user can leave a candidate unchecked because they want to keep it
visible.
> - A later confirmation pass currently checks that candidate again by
default.
> - This pull request adds a repeatable `--unselect` option for
candidates declined in an earlier pass.
> - The benefit is that repeated confirmation cards preserve the user's
prior choice and make that history visible.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
When an inbox gardening confirmation was created again, candidates
declined in an earlier pass could start checked again.
**Expected behavior**
The caller can identify previously declined candidates. Those candidates
start unchecked and explain why they are unchecked.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a garden-inbox scan with an archive candidate in bucket A or
B.
2. Leave the candidate unchecked in a confirmation pass.
3. Create a later confirmation for the same candidate.
4. Observe that the default selection does not preserve the earlier
decline.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`7301fae942c3d5826974335cb40d6f1e0d95d1e0`
**Deployment mode**
Built from source.
## What Changed
- Added repeatable `--unselect ISSUE_ID` parsing to the garden-inbox
confirmation command.
- Removed those issue IDs from the default checked options.
- Added a description note for candidates declined in an earlier pass.
- Rejected `--unselect` values that are not offered by the current scan.
- Documented the repeat-pass workflow and added regression coverage.
## Verification
- `node --test
.agents/skills/garden-inbox/scripts/garden-inbox.test.mjs`
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD`
## Risks
- Low risk. The new option is opt-in, and existing confirmation behavior
is unchanged when it is omitted.
- An invalid issue ID now fails before any confirmation card is posted.

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

## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex based on GPT-5. The exact deployment ID, context window
size, and reasoning mode are not exposed to the agent. The agent used
repository tools, code execution, and test execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The web UI uses one shared markdown editor for comments, issue
descriptions, and documents.
> - Users type `>` at the start of a line to insert a blockquote.
> - The live editor shortcut does not always run in every browser and
input method.
> - The markdown exporter then changes the leading `>` to `\>` and saves
literal text.
> - The saved text does not render as a blockquote.
> - This pull request restores the blockquote marker when markdown
enters or leaves the editor.
> - The benefit is reliable blockquote insertion on every surface that
uses the shared editor.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists.
Related prior attempt: #10465.
**What happened?**
The shared markdown editor sometimes saved a blockquote as literal text.
This happened when the live shortcut did not run. The exporter saved `\>
text`, which rendered as literal `> text`.
**Expected behavior**
A line that starts with `>` must render as a blockquote in comments,
issue descriptions, and documents.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open a task comment composer, description editor, or document editor.
2. Add `> ` to an existing line, or use an input method that does not
run the live shortcut.
3. Save the content.
4. Observe that the saved line renders as literal text instead of a
blockquote.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `78f8c6c3d4`.
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted server.
## What Changed
- Add `unescapeBlockquoteMarkers()` to restore block-level `\>` markers.
- Keep indented code, list content, nested content, and fenced code
unchanged.
- Apply the helper when markdown enters and leaves `MarkdownEditor`.
- Add focused tests for line position, indentation, container prefixes,
and CommonMark fence rules.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/lib/blockquote-markdown.test.ts` passes
with 22 tests.
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/MarkdownEditor.test.tsx`
passes with 37 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passes.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` passes.
- A browser harness used the real `MarkdownEditor` and `IssueChatThread`
composer. It confirmed that `> text` renders as a blockquote and exports
as `> text`.
- The [Cutter
preview](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/10466#issuecomment-5140558263)
supplies a task-page screenshot and an editor interaction video.
## Risks
- Low risk. The helper returns the input unchanged when it contains no
`\>`.
- A paragraph that deliberately starts with literal `\>` now becomes a
blockquote. The editor has no literal-marker control, so this matches
the available input behavior.
- There are no database, API, or migration changes.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies
> - Operators need a predictable installation path that survives beyond
an ephemeral `npx` process
> - A durable installation needs an owned per-user payload store, stable
command shim, safe shell integration, and supported service lifecycle
> - Updates must preserve recoverability by backing up data, installing
side-by-side, verifying the new payload, and retaining rollback state
> - Bootstrap scripts and privileged service operations must fail closed
across download, filesystem, ownership, and consent boundaries
> - This pull request integrates managed install, update, rollback,
service, uninstall, doctor, bootstrap-installer, and runtime-serving
support into one workflow
> - The benefit is a recoverable, inspectable, and documented
installation lifecycle with explicit safety boundaries across Linux,
macOS, containers, WSL, npm, npx, and source checkouts
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Problem
Paperclip lacks a first-class durable installation and lifecycle
workflow. Operators currently have to assemble npm/npx installation,
PATH setup, background-service management, updates, rollback,
diagnostics, and uninstall behavior themselves. That makes upgrades
harder to recover, creates inconsistent behavior across platforms, and
leaves shell/download/service trust boundaries without one documented
implementation.
### Proposed Solution
Add a managed per-user install store and stable shim, a verified shell
bootstrap installer, service lifecycle commands, install-mode-aware
update/rollback behavior, doctor checks, and documentation. Managed
updates back up the database, install and smoke-test a side-by-side
payload, atomically switch `current`, and retain prior payloads. The
shell installer pins registry/download trust boundaries and requires
explicit consent for non-interactive privileged actions.
### Alternatives Considered
- Keep recommending `npx`: simple for evaluation, but ephemeral and
unsuitable for stable services, atomic updates, or rollback.
- Require global npm installation only: familiar, but cannot provide the
owned side-by-side payload store and retained rollback semantics.
- Split the capability across multiple PRs: rejected because install,
update, service, uninstall, bootstrap, and serving behavior share
contracts and security boundaries that need review together.
### Related Pull Requests
- Supersedes #10042 and #10044 with one integrated final diff.
- Incorporates and replaces the closed preparatory work in #10032 and
#10034.
## What Changed
- Added `paperclipai install`, `update`/`upgrade`, rollback, uninstall,
service lifecycle, onboarding integration, and managed-install doctor
checks.
- Added a private managed payload store, verified manifest/marker
ownership, exclusive mutation locks, atomic manifest/current/shim
writes, retained previous payloads, and provenance validation.
- Added npm and GitHub-ref install sources with exact target resolution,
registry isolation, database backup, side-by-side verification, atomic
activation, service restart coordination, and failure rollback.
- Made managed-update backups report actionable service-start and
`--no-backup` recovery guidance for unreachable databases, while clean
never-onboarded instances skip an empty backup.
- Added systemd user and launchd service definitions, status/health/log
commands, single-instance coordination, stale-port recovery, and
explicit sudo/lingering consent handling.
- Added the `scripts/install.sh` bootstrap path with checked two-stage
downloads, pinned public npm registry usage, platform checks,
dry-run/non-interactive controls, and Docker fixtures.
- Added embedded Postgres/native bootstrap integration,
hot-restart/systemd-notify serving support, passive update notices,
configuration contracts, README/CLI/install documentation, and focused
regression tests.
- Security re-review should explicitly re-verify: (1)
`addManagedPathBlock`/`removeManagedPathBlock` reject symlinked or
non-regular rc files, assert current-user ownership, preserve
restrictive modes, and replace atomically; (2) managed shim replacement
rejects unsafe parents, foreign-owned or multiply linked files, and uses
checked atomic replacement; (3) the shell installer and sudo path
preserve explicit consent and checked downloads; and (4) installed
service/runtime serving remains bound to the validated managed shim and
instance configuration.
## Verification
- `bash -n scripts/install.sh scripts/clean-install-git.sh
scripts/clean-install-npm.sh scripts/test-install-sh-docker.sh`
- `pnpm exec vitest run cli/src/__tests__/install-store.test.ts

cli/src/__tests__/onboard-service.test.ts

cli/src/__tests__/service-manager.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/update-command.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/update-notice.test.ts
packages/db/src/embedded-postgres-native.test.ts` — 9 files, 66 tests
passed
- `pnpm --dir cli typecheck`
- `pnpm --dir cli build`
- Follow-up verification: `pnpm exec vitest run
cli/src/__tests__/update-command.test.ts` (14/14), `pnpm --dir cli
typecheck`, `pnpm --dir cli build`, and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck`.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- Full `pnpm test:run` exercised all suites; an injected static AWS
credential changed one unrelated doctor expectation, which passed when
those credentials were removed. A second run cleared that case and
exposed stale pre-existing adapter-utils `dist` output; rebuilding
`@paperclipai/adapter-utils` made the isolated test pass. The updated PR
CI is the authoritative clean-workspace full-suite run.
## Risks
- Installer/update code writes executable shims, symlinks, shell rc
blocks, service definitions, and managed payloads; ownership,
regular-file, symlink, hard-link, marker, and path-containment checks
fail closed before destructive changes.
- The bootstrap installer executes downloaded tooling; downloads are
staged and checked before execution, npm traffic is pinned to the public
registry, and non-interactive privileged behavior requires explicit
consent.
- Linux lingering may invoke `sudo`; the command is surfaced and
confirmed before execution, and unsupported service managers fall back
to foreground-run guidance.
- Database migrations remain forward-only; payload rollback does not
reverse migrations, so managed updates create a backup before activation
unless explicitly disabled.
- Service restart and runtime serving touch process/port ownership;
lifecycle locks, health/version checks, and stable-shim service
definitions reduce split-brain and stale-process risk.

The Decisions queue ran five parallel colour/icon vocabularies chosen by
source kind, plus a separate severity badge, so two rows needing the same
response could look unrelated and none of it matched the task list.
Every row now resolves to one of two kinds, each borrowing the task status
it corresponds to: blocking renders as `blocked`, review as `in_review`,
both through StatusGlyph and the existing --status-task-icon-* tokens.
Source kinds keep their own wording; only colour and icon merge.
Card anatomy follows the design mock: no left accent rail, rounded cards
16px apart, a "/"-separated meta breadcrumb, a named See more / See less
control, and no separately tinted drawer when expanded. Verb order is
fixed across both states. Severity moves from chrome to a toolbar filter.
Four defects fixed along the way:
- blocked rows reported themselves as their own blocker (server-side)
- the task key was missing wherever the row's subject IS the task
- the task quicklook stuck open, because closing handed focus back to a
trigger that opens on focus
- the card ring appeared on click, and only on cards with a toggle
Also: the standard task preview is aligned to its trigger's text and
scales out of it, the task eyebrow renders its project as a tile, and the
first motion tokens land alongside the disclosure and crossfade.
Supersedes #9574 and #9575.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip coordinates AI agents through scheduled heartbeat runs.
> - The heartbeat scheduler can call `tickTimers()` again before an
earlier tick has finished.
> - Each overlapping tick can read the same old `lastHeartbeatAt` value
and decide that the same agent is due.
> - The existing queue checks do not make that due-time decision atomic.
> - This pull request atomically advances the timer baseline before it

> - The benefit is that one timer interval can create at most one
scheduled run for an agent.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue describes this exact scheduler race. Related pull
requests address active-run overlap or queued-run buildup, but they do
not atomically claim a due timer interval: #9457, #8416, and #3858.
**What happened?**
Two overlapping calls to `tickTimers()` could both read the same due
timer baseline. Both calls could enqueue a timer run for the same agent
and interval.
**Expected behavior**
Only one scheduler tick must claim a due timer interval. A second
overlapping tick must observe that the interval was already claimed and
skip it.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create an active agent with a 60-second timer interval.
2. Set `lastHeartbeatAt` to more than 60 seconds in the past.
3. Call `tickTimers(now)` twice with `Promise.all()`.
4. Observe that the old code can enqueue two runs for the same interval.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced on `master` before this branch.
**Deployment mode**
Local development with embedded PostgreSQL.
## What Changed
- Added an atomic conditional update that claims a due timer interval by
advancing `lastHeartbeatAt`.
- Made `tickTimers()` enqueue only after that conditional update
succeeds.
- Preserved first-heartbeat telemetry when the timer claim advances
`lastHeartbeatAt` before run completion.
- Added regression tests for concurrent claims and first-heartbeat
telemetry.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-stale-queue-invalidation.test.ts` — 24 tests
passed on the final rebased commit.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts -t "preserves
first-heartbeat telemetry after a timer interval claim|tracks the first
heartbeat with the agent role"` — 2 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed after the
review fix.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- `pnpm test:run` — 3,121 tests passed and 2 tests skipped. One
unrelated runtime-skills test exceeded its 5-second limit under
full-suite load.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-runtime-skills.test.ts` — the timed-out file
passed in isolation, 2 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db exec vitest run
src/status-card-migrations.test.ts` — the unrelated CI timeout passed in
isolation.
- The full PR CI matrix passed after one rerun of that unrelated
timeout.
- Greptile passed with zero new comments and no unresolved review
threads.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change only affects due timer claims.
- If enqueue fails after the claim, the next timer attempt waits for one
interval. This is safer than duplicate agent execution.
- No schema, migration, API, UI, or dependency changes are included.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Environment configs (sandbox providers, SSH) can bind stored company
secrets through `format: "secret-ref"` fields, picked in the environment
editor's secret picker
> - Environments are instance-scoped and shared by every company on an
instance, but the picker lists only the current company's secrets, so a
ref pointing at another company's secret renders as "Missing secret (…)"
in destructive styling
> - That state is indistinguishable from a genuinely deleted secret, so
operators "fix" a healthy binding by creating a duplicate secret in
their own company — the exact sequence that used to corrupt bindings
before #10576
> - This pull request adds an instance-gated metadata endpoint for an
environment's secret refs and teaches the picker to name a cross-company
secret and its owner honestly
> - The benefit is that operators can tell a healthy cross-company
binding from a broken one, and stop creating duplicate secrets
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
In the environment editor, a secret-ref field that points at a secret
owned by a different company shows "Missing secret (22095402…)" in red,
with "The previously selected secret is no longer available. Pick
another or remove the binding." The binding is actually healthy — the
current company's picker just cannot list the other company's secrets.
Operators react by creating a duplicate secret and re-pointing the
field.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
The editor should know the referenced secret's name, status, and owning
company (metadata only, never the value) and present a cross-company ref
neutrally, a deleted secret as deleted, and only an unknown id as
missing.
Related: #10576 (fixes the binding corruption this UI state used to
trigger).
## What Changed
- New `GET /environments/:id/secret-refs` returns `{ refs: [{
configPath, secretId, name, status, companyId, companyName }] }` for the
environment's config-derived secret refs. Values are never returned. The
route sits behind `assertCanAccessInstanceEnvironments`, the same gate
as environment editing.
- New `secretService.describeSecretRefs` loads that metadata across
companies; unknown ids are omitted.
- `SecretBindingPicker` reads an optional `SecretRefHintsContext` (keyed
by secret id). With a hint, a ref the company list cannot show renders
as `NAME — Owning Company` with neutral styling and the note "Owned by
the … company. The binding keeps working; selecting a secret from this
list re-points it here." A hint with `status: "deleted"` reports the
secret as deleted. Without hints, behavior is byte-identical to before —
agent editors and other picker users are unaffected.
- `CompanyEnvironments` fetches descriptors for the environment being
edited and provides them through the context.
## Verification
- `cd server && pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/secrets-service.test.ts` — new endpoint happy path, agent
403 (descriptors never computed), and embedded-Postgres coverage proving
cross-company names resolve and unknown ids drop out.
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run src/components/SecretBindingPicker.test.tsx
src/components/JsonSchemaForm.test.tsx
src/pages/CompanyEnvironments.test.tsx` — hinted cross-company
rendering, hinted deleted secret, and unchanged no-hint fallback.
- `pnpm run typecheck` in `server` and `ui`.
- Manual: edit an environment whose secret-ref field references another
company's secret; the field names the secret and its owning company
instead of "Missing secret".
## Risks
- The endpoint exposes secret names and company names across companies
to instance-level environment editors. Those actors already manage
instance-shared environments (and instance admins are implicit members
of every company), so this reveals no secret material and no new reach;
the service method documents that callers must sit behind an
instance-level gate.
- UI change is additive and context-gated; pickers without a provider
render exactly as before.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents can run inside environments (SSH boxes, sandbox providers); a
sandbox environment's config can reference stored company secrets (for
example a provider API key) through `format: "secret-ref"` fields
> - Environments are instance-scoped and shared by every company on an
instance, but `company_secret_bindings` rows are company-scoped, and the
environment routes synced config-derived bindings under one guessed
"context company" resolved from the environment's existing bindings
> - When a save re-pointed a secret-ref field at a secret owned by a
different company, the binding sync threw after the config row had
already been persisted: the config referenced the new secret, the
binding still pointed at the old one, every later lease acquisition
failed with `Secret is not bound to environment:<id> at apiKey`, and the
stale cross-company binding made every later save fail with a
company-context conflict — with no route-level way to recover
> - This pull request makes config-derived bindings follow the company
that owns each referenced secret, and makes the environment write and
its binding syncs atomic
> - The benefit is that environment saves can no longer strand an
environment in a half-updated state that breaks all of its runs
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #10577 (companion UX change: the editor state that nudges operators
into this sequence).
**What happened?**
Saving an environment whose secret-ref config field points at a secret
owned by a different company than the environment's existing binding
partially applied: the config row updated, the binding sync failed
server-side, and the environment was left referencing a secret it has no
binding for. Every run that leased the environment then failed with
`lease_acquire_failed: ... Secret is not bound to environment:<id> at
apiKey`, and every later save of the environment returned 409
`Environment secret bindings already use a different company context.` —
with no route-level way to recover.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. On an instance with two companies, create a sandbox environment from
company A with a picker-bound API-key secret owned by A (the binding
lands in A).
2. From company B, create a new secret and re-point the environment's
API-key field at it, then save.
3. The save persists the config but the binding sync throws, so no
binding for B's secret exists.
4. Run any agent that uses the environment, or try to save the
environment again.
**Expected behavior**
The save either fully applies (config and bindings consistent) or fully
fails. Re-pointing a config secret ref to a secret owned by another
company moves the binding with the secret.
**Paperclip version**
Reproduced on current `master` (also present on recent release images).
**Deployment mode**
Multi-company server deployment (any mode with more than one company on
the instance).
## What Changed
- New `secretService.replaceSecretRefsForInstanceTarget`: writes each
config-derived binding under the company that owns the referenced
secret, replaces all non-`env.*` bindings of the target across every
company, and validates every ref (secret exists, not deleted,
config-path and projection-class rules) before any row is written.
`env.*` env-var bindings stay company-scoped and untouched.
- The environment create and update routes now run the environment write
and its binding syncs inside one `db.transaction`, threading the
transaction through new optional executor seams on
`environmentService.create/update` and the existing `SecretBindingDb`
seam pattern, so an invalid ref rolls the whole save back instead of
leaving a half-updated environment.
- `resolveEnvironmentSecretContextCompanyId` no longer lets existing
bindings veto the caller's context (the 409s above); it now only picks
where new raw-pasted secrets are created and how env-var bindings and
probes resolve: explicit route/query company first, then the single
company the bindings live in, then the actor's company.
## Verification
- `cd server && pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/environment-instance-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/secrets-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/environment-custom-image-routes.test.ts` (165 tests,
includes new coverage below)
- New embedded-Postgres tests prove: a re-point moves the binding to the
new secret's company and deletes the stale row; refs across several
companies each bind under their own secret's company; an unknown secret
ref rejects without touching existing bindings; `env.*` rows survive
config-ref replacement.
- New route tests prove: a cross-company re-point that previously 409'd
now saves, with the update and binding replacement on the same
transaction executor; a failing ref surfaces as 422.
- `cd server && pnpm run typecheck`
## Risks
- Behavioral shift: environment saves no longer 409 on a company-context
mismatch between the caller and existing bindings; bindings follow the
referenced secret's company instead. Environment routes are
instance-admin gated, and instance admins already had access to every
company's secrets by passing the company explicitly, so this removes an
ordering trap rather than widening access.
- Runtime lease resolution is unchanged: a run still resolves
environment secrets under the run's own company, so an environment
referencing company B's secret still only leases for company B runs
(fail-closed as before).
- The delete route's per-company binding cleanup is unchanged.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Each agent task gets an execution workspace (a git worktree) with a
recorded branch name; workspace validation compares that record to the
worktree before every run
> - Agents sometimes rename their task branch (for example to a `feat/*`
PR branch), so the recorded branch never existed or was deleted
> - Validation then fails every run with "expected branch does not
exist" — a deterministic `workspace_validation_failed` loop with no
self-heal path
> - A recorded branch with no resolvable commit has nothing to lose, so
adopting a clean, registered checked-out branch is trivially
forward-only
> - This pull request routes that exact case through the existing
audited forward-reconciliation path, in both the runtime and the manual
board reconcile endpoint
> - The benefit is that these stranded workspaces heal themselves while
dirty worktrees, detached HEADs, unregistered paths, and ambiguous git
states all stay fail-closed
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists; the underlying bug is described here per
`bug_report.yml`. Related PR: #10574 self-heals the sibling provisioning
failure loop uncovered by the same incident diagnosis.
**What happened?**
An execution workspace whose recorded branch was renamed away failed
every subsequent run with `workspace_validation_failed` ("expected
branch does not exist"). The safe-repair matrix refused the case, so the
task stayed blocked until a human intervened.
**Expected behavior**
When the recorded branch is confirmed absent and the worktree is clean
and registered with its checked-out branch matching HEAD, Paperclip
adopts the checked-out branch through the audited forward-reconciliation
path and the next run proceeds.
**Steps to reproduce**
In an isolated workspace, rename the task branch (`git branch -m
<recorded> feat/something`) or delete the recorded branch, leave the
worktree clean, then start a new run on the task. Validation fails on
every retry.
**Paperclip version or commit**
master as of the branch point of this PR.
**Deployment mode**
Local trusted deployment with git-worktree isolated workspaces.
## What Changed
- `ensureGitWorktreeBranchCoherent` (workspace runtime): a missing
recorded branch with a clean worktree, an existing checked-out branch,
and a registered branch matching HEAD now goes through audited forward
reconciliation instead of failing closed. Gated behind
`enableWorkspaceBranchReconcileForward`.
- `reconcileExecutionWorkspaceBranch` mode `forward` (service): accepts
the same case so the board reconcile endpoint can repair it manually.
- The service inspection now classifies each branch ref as `resolved` /
`missing` / `error` (`git rev-parse --verify --quiet`, distinguishing an
absent ref from git failing to inspect the repo). Adoption requires a
confirmed-missing recorded ref **and** a resolved target ref, so a git
error can never bypass ancestry validation and a nonexistent branch name
is never persisted.
- Removed the test that asserted this case fails closed; it is
superseded by tests that assert the new behavior.
- New tests: successful adoption, dirty-worktree refusal, refusal when
the checked-out branch ref does not resolve either, and disabled-flag
behavior.
## Verification
- `server`: `npx vitest run
src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts -t "reconcil"` — 11
passed.
- `server`: `npx vitest run src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts -t
"adopt"` — 7 passed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit` in `server/` is clean.
- Manually validated the underlying repair on a live stranded workspace
before automating it: creating the recorded branch at the clean HEAD
ended the validation-failure loop without touching the agent's PR
branch.
## Risks
- The change relaxes a fail-closed gate, so the main risk is
over-adoption. Mitigations: the exception requires flag-on, clean
worktree, registered worktree path, registered branch matching HEAD, a
confirmed-missing (not merely unreadable) recorded ref, and a resolvable
target ref; everything else still fails closed. Every adoption goes
through the audited reconcile path with an issue comment trail.
- No migrations, no API surface changes (the reconcile route returns the
same hand-picked fields).

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists; the underlying bug is described here per
`bug_report.yml`. Related PR: #10578 self-heals the sibling
workspace-validation failure loop uncovered by the same incident
diagnosis.
**What happened?**
Isolated-workspace runs failed at provision time with `setup_failed`.
Every retry failed identically. One observed incident burned 4 runs
across two adapters before the task was stranded.
**Expected behavior**
Provisioning either succeeds or degrades gracefully; a broken base CLI
install repairs itself instead of permanently blocking all new
worktrees.
**Steps to reproduce**
In the base workspace, cause a lockfile-affecting dependency bump plus a
partial/filtered `pnpm install` so a package symlink (e.g.
`cli/node_modules/drizzle-orm`) dangles into a pruned virtual-store dir.
Start any isolated-workspace run. Provision fails with
`ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND` and the run ends `setup_failed`; retries never
recover.
**Paperclip version or commit**
master as of the branch point of this PR.
**Deployment mode**
Local trusted deployment with git-worktree isolated workspaces.
## What Changed
- `base_cli_healthy` now boots the base CLI (`--help`) instead of only
testing file existence, which exercises the top-level import graph.
- New `repair_base_workspace_install`: when the health check fails, run
a non-interactive `pnpm install --prod=false --force --frozen-lockfile`
in the base workspace. `--force` guarantees relinking when pnpm's
up-to-date heuristics would skip dangling symlinks; `--frozen-lockfile`
keeps the repair from mutating the shared lockfile.
- The repair install is serialized with `flock` on a lock file inside
the resolved git dir (`git rev-parse --absolute-git-dir`), so locking
also covers base workspaces that are linked worktrees, where `.git` is a
file.
- If every CLI candidate is unusable (including a base CLI the repair
could not fix), provisioning falls back to the existing no-CLI fallback
config writer (loudly, on stderr) instead of failing the run. A CLI that
runs and fails `worktree init` still fails provisioning with its real
exit code — that deliberate fail-closed policy is unchanged and covered
by an existing server regression test.
- Fixed a latent bug: `run_isolated_worktree_init` returned 0
unconditionally after the init subshell, so callers treated a failed
init as success. Exit codes now propagate.
## Verification
- Reproduced the incident state (dangling `cli/node_modules/drizzle-orm`
symlink); the base CLI failed with the exact `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND` seen
in the incident run logs.
- Ran the patched script against a fresh scratch worktree: health check
failed → locked repair install ran (~26 s warm) → symlink relinked →
`worktree init` completed → exit 0 with `.paperclip/config.json` and
`.env` written.
- Happy path (healthy base CLI): provisioning behavior unchanged, exit
0.
- Verified `git rev-parse --absolute-git-dir` resolves a real directory
for both a normal checkout and a linked worktree.
- New hermetic tests: `node --test
./scripts/__tests__/provision-worktree-self-heal.test.mjs` (4 tests:
healthy CLI used, broken CLI degrades, locked repair end-to-end with a
fake pnpm, init failure propagates). Not yet wired into a CI workflow.
- `server`: the existing `realizeExecutionWorkspace` fail-closed
regression test ("fails instead of writing an unseeded fallback config
when worktree init errors after CLI detection succeeds") passes against
the new script.
- `bash -n scripts/provision-worktree.sh` is clean.
## Risks
- Low risk overall: the script only adds recovery paths; the happy path
is unchanged.
- The repair install runs in the shared base workspace. It is bounded by
`--frozen-lockfile` (no lockfile mutation) and serialized by `flock`,
but it can add ~30 s to the first provision after a base install breaks.
- If the repair cannot fix the CLI and no other CLI candidate exists,
runs now continue with an unseeded fallback config instead of failing;
that is intentional, and the fallback path already existed. Genuine
`worktree init` failures from a working CLI still fail the run.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Refs: #3587
- Related prior connector work: #6271
- Supersedes the non-reopenable #7904.
- Duplicate #10569 was opened during concurrent recovery; this PR

## What Changed
- Added a normative External Task Protocol for provider-neutral task
data, link state, routing, synchronization, conflicts, and health.
- Defined a Symphony-compatible execution profile that uses Paperclip
checkout, heartbeat, workspace, budget, approval, and blocker controls.
- Added provider profiles for Linear, Jira, Asana, Notion, Trello, and
GitHub Issues.
- Fixed the link-state transitions, reopen invariant, and section
cross-reference found in review.
- Updated the connector boundary to name the current capability-gated
plugin host clients.
- Aligned backlog wake semantics and issue-scoped run-stop conformance
with the current host API.
- Made terminal-to-active follow-up handoff retry-safe using a
single-record `TaskLink` retarget and
auditable handoff history, without assuming unavailable multi-record
plugin transactions.
- Preserved and refreshed Dotta's original specification work.
## Verification
- Ran `git diff --check`.
- Checked every numbered section reference against the document
headings.
- Compared the protocol integration points with the current plugin SDK
and host issue contracts.
- Ran the current PR template, linked-issue, duplicate-search, and
test-coverage quality gates against this description and title.
## Risks
- Low runtime risk. This pull request changes documentation only.
- The specification can constrain future connector designs. It remains a
draft and keeps provider-specific behavior in plugins.
- The replacement keeps the legacy `PAP-10377-task-protocol` head ref
because renaming it closed
#7904 and GitHub would not reopen that PR after the ref was restored.

## Model Used
- The original draft used Claude Code. This review repair used OpenAI
Codex with GPT-5. The exact API snapshot and context window are not
exposed. The run used reasoning, repository inspection, shell tools, and

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Published container images are the deployable unit for self-hosted
and managed instances, so merge-to-image latency bounds every deploy
iteration
> - The docker workflow configures BuildKit caching, but builds still
ran ~12+ minutes essentially cold
> - Two causes: the most expensive layer (four CLI toolchains + apt) is
ordered after the always-changing app copy so it can never cache, and
the type=gha cache's 10GB repo cap means the two multi-arch mode=max
jobs evict each other
> - This pull request reorders the tool layer above the app copy (with a
weekly epoch so @latest tools keep advancing) and switches both jobs to
registry-backed cache in ghcr
> - The benefit is that warm builds shrink to roughly the app build +
push, targeting the sub-5-minute range together with the amd64-only
cloud variant
## Linked Issues or Issue Description

request template:
**Subsystem affected**
CI / release publishing (docker workflow, Dockerfile)
**Problem or motivation**
Despite `cache-from/cache-to` being configured, image builds run
effectively cold: (1) the production stage installs four CLI toolchains
+ apt packages *after* `COPY --from=build /app /app`, and since the app
copy changes every commit, that most-expensive layer rebuilds every
build, per arch; (2) the `type=gha` BuildKit cache is capped at 10GB per
repository, and two multi-arch `mode=max` jobs overflow and evict each
other's entries.
**Proposed solution**
Order the tool/OS layer before the app copy (it references nothing from
`/app`), refresh it weekly via a `CLI_TOOLS_CACHE_EPOCH` build arg so
the `@latest` tools don't freeze in the cache, and move both jobs to
registry-backed BuildKit cache (`:buildcache` / `:buildcache-cloud` refs
in ghcr, no size cap, separate refs so the parallel jobs don't clobber
each other).
**Alternatives considered**
Pinning CLI tool versions instead of the weekly epoch — more
deterministic, but adds a version-bump chore; the weekly epoch preserves
current freshness semantics with bounded staleness. Keeping type=gha
with `mode=min` — smaller cache but loses intermediate-stage reuse,
which is where most of the win is.
**Roadmap alignment**
Not on ROADMAP.md; CI/publishing speed improvement only.
## What Changed
- `Dockerfile`: the production stage's tool/OS `RUN` (npm --global CLIs,
apt, `/paperclip` setup) moves above `COPY --from=build /app /app`; new
`CLI_TOOLS_CACHE_EPOCH` arg consumed by that layer. The `cloud` stage is
unaffected — it only layers plugin dists on top of the finished
production stage.
- `.github/workflows/docker.yml`: both jobs stamp the ISO week into
`CLI_TOOLS_CACHE_EPOCH`, and both switch `cache-from/cache-to` from
`type=gha` to `type=registry` with per-job refs.
- Includes the one-line amd64-only cloud-variant commit from #10570 so
the two PRs can't conflict; if #10570 merges first, this PR rebases down
to a single commit automatically.
## Verification
- Image content is unchanged by layer reordering: the moved `RUN`
references nothing from `/app`, and Docker layer ordering only affects
caching, not the final filesystem (tool installs and app copy touch
disjoint paths).
- The cache ref is written only by this workflow — `docker.yml` runs on
master/tag pushes, never on PRs — so the workflow's existing "no shared
caches into build inputs" supply-chain stance is unchanged (BuildKit
layer cache was already accepted via type=gha; the registry backend has
the same writer trust).
- Runtime proof lands with the first two master builds after merge: the
first warms the cache, the second should show the tool layer and
deps/build stages as CACHED in the build log, with wall clock dropping
accordingly. I'll be watching those as part of managed-deploy work.
## Risks
- Low. Worst case the registry cache misses (cold-build behavior, same
as today). The weekly epoch means CLI tools update at most a week late
inside images; a release built mid-week ships the tools from that week's
first build. Cache refs add two small artifacts to ghcr.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage AI
agents for work.
> - Local agent heartbeats need durable process identity so the server
can supervise them.
> - The ACPX runtime owns the child process used by `codex_local`
sessions.
> - ACPX did not expose the child PID and start time to the Paperclip
adapter.
> - Warm ACPX runtimes can also serve a later heartbeat without a new
spawn event.
> - A hot restart could therefore classify a live Codex run as lost
because its heartbeat row had no process identity.
> - This pull request forwards ACPX spawn identity, reuses it for
compatible warm heartbeats, and fails closed when identity cannot be
persisted.
> - The benefit is reliable hot-restart adoption for eligible local
Codex runs.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No matching public GitHub issue was found.
**What happened?**
A `codex_local` heartbeat could run through ACPX without a persisted
`processPid` or `processStartedAt`. A Paperclip hot restart then had no
durable identity for the live ACP child. Recovery could classify the run
as `process_lost` even while the child was still alive.
**Expected behavior**
ACPX reports the real child PID and start time before the first prompt.
A compatible warm runtime reports the same known identity to each later
heartbeat that reuses the child. ACPX stops the child if the identity is
invalid or persistence fails. Hot-restart recovery can then adopt the
live run.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a `codex_local` heartbeat through the ACPX execution lane.
2. Keep the run active during a Paperclip hot restart.
3. Inspect the heartbeat row before this change.
4. Observe that the process identity can be null and recovery cannot
adopt the live child.
**Reproduced on**
- Paperclip `master` before this change.
- Linux source deployment.
- `codex_local` with ACPX `0.12.0`.
## What Changed
- Add an awaited `onAgentSpawn` lifecycle hook to the patched ACPX
runtime.
- Forward the ACP child PID and start time through the adapter `onSpawn`
callback.
- Keep a mutable callback sink for cached runtimes so a later respawn
updates the current heartbeat.
- Reuse the last known process identity when a compatible warm heartbeat
reuses the existing child.
- Kill the ACP child and fail session startup when the PID is invalid or
identity persistence rejects.
- Add ACPX and heartbeat recovery tests for callback ordering, warm
reuse, failure cleanup, durable row identity, and hot-restart adoption.
- Document the one-time drain required when an installed pre-fix run
already lacks process metadata.
## Verification

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

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The board UI shows the workspace attached to an issue in
`ui/src/components/IssueWorkspaceCard.tsx`
> - That card renders values such as the branch name and the workspace
path through a small `CopyableInline` component, each with an icon-only
copy button
> - The button has a `title` attribute only. Screen readers do not
announce `title` reliably. A screen reader user hears no useful name for
the button, because the button contains an icon and no text
> - The button also starts a 1.5 second `setTimeout` to reset its
"copied" state. Nothing clears that timer. If the card unmounts first,
the callback sets state on an unmounted component
> - This pull request adds a dynamic `aria-label` to the button and
clears the timer in a `useEffect` cleanup
> - The benefit is a copy control that assistive technology can
announce, and no stray timer after the card unmounts
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing GitHub issue covers this. The problem is described below
with the fields from
[`bug_report.yml`](.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml).
**What happened?**
Open an issue that has a workspace attached. Tab to the copy button next
to the branch or the workspace path in the workspace card. The screen
reader announces an unlabeled button, because the button holds only a
lucide `Copy` icon and a `title` attribute. Separately, copy a value and
navigate away within 1.5 seconds. The pending `setTimeout` then calls
`setCopied(false)` on an unmounted component.
**Expected behavior**
The copy button has an accessible name that says what it copies, and the
name changes to confirm the copy. The reset timer is cleared when the
component unmounts.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the app locally with `pnpm dev`.
2. Open an issue that has a workspace attached, so `IssueWorkspaceCard`
renders.
3. Turn on a screen reader (VoiceOver, NVDA).
4. Tab to the copy button next to the workspace path or the branch name.
The button has no useful accessible name.
5. Click the copy button, then navigate away from the issue in under 1.5
seconds. The reset timer is still pending.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproducible on `master` at this pull request's base commit.
**Deployment mode**
Local dev (pnpm dev).
Related pull request, not a duplicate: #3531 makes copy-to-clipboard
buttons work in non-secure contexts. That pull request changes the
clipboard write path. This one changes the button label and the timer
cleanup, so the two do not overlap.
## What Changed
- Added an `aria-label` to the `CopyableInline` copy button in
`ui/src/components/IssueWorkspaceCard.tsx`. The label reads `Copy
<label>` (for example "Copy branch"), falls back to `Copy value` when
the component gets no `label` prop, and changes to `Copied to clipboard`
after a copy.
- Added a `useEffect` cleanup that calls
`clearTimeout(timerRef.current)` on unmount, so the 1.5 second reset
timer cannot fire after the component unmounts.
## Verification
- CI is green on this pull request.
- Static check: `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Test suite: `pnpm test`.
- Manual, screen reader: open an issue with a workspace, tab to the copy
button next to the path or the branch, and confirm the announcement is
"Copy path" or "Copy branch". Activate the button and confirm the
announcement changes to "Copied to clipboard".
- Manual, timer: click the copy button and navigate away from the issue
immediately. Confirm the console shows no unmounted-component state
update.
## Risks
Low risk. The change adds one ARIA attribute and one unmount cleanup in
a single presentational component. No behavior changes for mouse users,
no API or schema change. `clearTimeout(undefined)` is a no-op, so the
cleanup is safe when the user never copied.
## Model Used
- Anthropic Claude Opus, model ID `claude-opus-4-6`, 200K context
window, extended thinking enabled, with tool use for file edits.
- Recorded by a maintainer while bringing this description up to the
current template. The original description predates the Model Used
requirement, so the author did not state a model. Author: please correct

unchecked until the current review round closes.
## Problem
In the ExecutionWorkspaceCloseDialog, the "Last checked" timestamp was
using \`new Date()\` which show the current render time, not when the
readiness check API call actually completed.
\`\`\`tsx
Last checked {formatDateTime(new Date())} // always NOW
\`\`\`
This mean every time React re-render the component (which happen
frequently), the timestamp update to the current moment. User see "Last
checked 2:45:30 PM" and think the check just ran, but actually it might
have ran 30 seconds ago. The timestamp is lying.
## What I changed
Changed from \`new Date()\` to \`new
Date(readinessQuery.dataUpdatedAt)\` which is the actual timestamp from
React Query tracking when the API response was last received.
\`\`\`tsx
Last checked {formatDateTime(new Date(readinessQuery.dataUpdatedAt))} //
actual check time
\`\`\`
Now the timestamp accurately show when the close readiness check was
performed. It stay stable between re-renders until the query actually
refetch.
## How to test
1. Open an execution workspace > click Close button to open the dialog
2. The "Last checked" timestamp should show when the API call completed
3. Wait a few seconds - timestamp should NOT update (it's the query
time, not render time)
4. Click "Recheck" or trigger refetch - timestamp should update to new
fetch time

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Published container images are how both self-hosted users and
managed-deployment hosts run it
> - The repository publishes two variants: the self-hosted image and a
cloud variant for managed deployments
> - The cloud variant was built for amd64+arm64, but its only consumers
are managed-deployment hosts, which run amd64
> - The QEMU-emulated arm64 half dominates the build's wall clock,
delaying every merge-to-deployable-image cycle
> - This pull request drops arm64 from the cloud variant only, keeping
the self-hosted image multi-arch
> - The benefit is roughly halving the time from merge to a deployable
cloud image, with no change for any actual consumer
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing public issue — inline description following the feature
request template:
**Subsystem affected**
CI / release publishing (docker workflow)
**Problem or motivation**
The cloud image variant builds for `linux/amd64,linux/arm64`, but the
arm64 half runs under QEMU emulation and dominates the job's wall clock
— while no consumer of the cloud variant runs arm64 (managed-deployment
hosts are amd64). Every deploy iteration pays ~double the necessary
build time.
**Proposed solution**
Build the cloud variant amd64-only. The self-hosted image keeps
`amd64+arm64` so ARM users (Apple Silicon, ARM servers) are unaffected.
**Alternatives considered**
Keeping multi-arch but building arm64 on native arm64 runners with a
manifest merge — faster than QEMU and worth doing for the self-hosted
image if its build time becomes a pain point, but unnecessary complexity
for a variant with no arm64 consumers.
**Roadmap alignment**
Not on ROADMAP.md; CI/publishing speed improvement only.
## What Changed
- `.github/workflows/docker.yml`: the `build-and-push-cloud` job's
`platforms` is now `linux/amd64` (with a comment explaining why). The
self-hosted `build-and-push` job is untouched.
## Verification
- Build-config-only change; the workflow runs on merge to master. The
published `-cloud` manifest will be amd64-only, which its consumers
already pull.
- No test changes: nothing at runtime differs on any platform that
actually runs the image.
## Risks
- Low. If an arm64 consumer of the cloud variant ever appears (e.g.
local `docker run` on Apple Silicon for debugging), it would fall back
to emulation on the consumer's machine or need this reverted — a
one-line change. The self-hosted image's platform matrix is unchanged.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Instances commonly run from published container images, and
operators need to observe which build a container actually serves
> - `/api/health` now reports the running build commit, and server-info
already falls back to `PAPERCLIP_BUILD_COMMIT` when git is unavailable
> - But published images carry no `.git` and never received
`PAPERCLIP_BUILD_COMMIT`, so containers report `commit: null` — verified
live against a current image
> - That leaves the new deployment-verification field inert exactly
where it matters most: containerized deploys
> - This pull request bakes the exact build commit into both image
variants at build time, mirroring how `PAPERCLIP_BUILD_VERSION` is
already stamped
> - The benefit is that containers report their true commit on
`/api/health`, so deploy tooling can verify a rollout actually shipped
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Companion to #10563 (which exposed the `commit` field on `/api/health`).
Inline description following the bug report template:
**What happened?**
A container from a published image responds to `GET /api/health` with
`"commit": null`. The image has no `.git` directory and the
`PAPERCLIP_BUILD_COMMIT` fallback that `server-info` supports is never
provided at build time, so git metadata resolves as unavailable.
**Expected behavior**
A container reports the commit it was built from, the same way it
already reports its build version via the baked
`PAPERCLIP_BUILD_VERSION`.
**Steps to reproduce**
Run any published image (e.g.
`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip:sha-c4f6264-cloud`) and `curl
/api/health` — `commit` is `null` even though the build commit is known
at image-build time.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`sha-c4f6264-cloud` (first image containing #10563).
## What Changed
- `Dockerfile`: new `PAPERCLIP_BUILD_COMMIT` build arg, exported as an
ENV in the production stage (the `cloud` stage inherits it), directly
parallel to `PAPERCLIP_BUILD_VERSION`. Empty for local `docker build`,
which keeps the normal fallbacks.
- `.github/workflows/docker.yml`: both build jobs pass
`PAPERCLIP_BUILD_COMMIT=${{ github.sha }}`.
## Verification
- Reviewed the plumbing end-to-end: `build-commit.ts` reads
`PAPERCLIP_BUILD_COMMIT` (validated as a full SHA), `server-info.ts`
`readGitInfo` falls back to it when the git CLI fails, producing
`available: true, fullSha` — which `/api/health` surfaces as `commit`.
- Verified live that a current published image reports `commit: null`;
this change repairs that on the next build. Post-merge, the first master
image should report its commit — I'll be verifying that as part of
managed-deploy validation.
- No test changes: the fallback path is already covered by existing
server-info tests; this PR only supplies the env at image build.
## Risks
- Low. Two build-time stamps; no runtime code changes. A wrong SHA would
only mislabel the build (same failure mode `PAPERCLIP_BUILD_VERSION`
already carries), and `${{ github.sha }}` is the exact commit the
workflow builds.
## Model Used
Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`, extended thinking, via Claude Code
with tool use and code execution); diagnosis included live probes of a
running container's `/api/health`.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip uses the server to coordinate agent work.
> - The server emits manual OpenTelemetry spans for startup, heartbeat,
and sandbox execution.
> - Those spans need the shared OpenTelemetry API package and a
type-safe exporter path.
> - Without the direct API dependency, the tracer stays no-op and the
spans do not reach the collector.
> - This pull request adds the direct dependency and the exporter cast.
> - The benefit is that the manual spans can export cleanly at runtime.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The server resolved the tracer with a runtime import, but `server` did
not declare `@opentelemetry/api`. The manual spans stayed no-op, so the
collector did not receive them.
**Expected behavior**
The server should load the shared OpenTelemetry API package, create the
manual spans, and export them.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start the server with telemetry enabled.
2. Run startup, heartbeat, or sandbox execution paths.
3. Observe that the manual spans do not export before this change.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`f91df236dfd8e5e6210941c80efeb0a7953bbe50`
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with `pnpm dev` or `pnpm build`.
## What Changed
- Added `@opentelemetry/api` as a direct `server` dependency.
- Cast the `traceExporter` value to `never` so the type check passes
without a static `SpanExporter` import.
- Kept the optional OTLP and SDK packages behind dynamic import.
## Verification
- `pnpm build` in `server/` passed.
- `server/src/instrumentation.ts` does not import `SpanExporter`.
- `server/package.json` lists `@opentelemetry/api` at `^1.9.0`.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change touches dependency metadata and one type cast.
- Runtime telemetry still needs live collector QA.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use enabled.

## Thinking Path

work

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

`.gitignore`

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Daytona sandbox provider now uses an advisory bwrap wrapper
> - Operators need clear host and image setup for bubblewrap, sudo, and
user namespaces
> - The repo should document that setup, but it should not own
provisioning
> - This pull request adds the operator guidance to the shared sandbox
requirements and the Daytona README
> - The benefit is that operators can enable the wrapper with the same
steps the code expects
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #10554 and #10541.
## What Changed
- Added an advisory bwrap prerequisites section to
`packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/SANDBOX-REQUIREMENTS.md`.
- Added an operator enablement section to
`packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/README.md`.
- Documented the install commands, the sudoers rule, the user namespace
setting, and the verification command.
- Kept provisioning out of the repo and left it to the image or snapshot
layer.
## Verification
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD`
- `gh pr checks 10560`
## Risks
- Low risk. This change updates documentation only.
- The docs can drift if the host setup changes later.
- Provisioning still lives outside the repo.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use enabled.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Instances run self-hosted or under hosting/deploy tooling, and
operators need to observe what build a server is actually running
> - `/api/health` carries the git SHA only inside `serverInfo`, which is
gated to board/agent actors — anonymous callers get a redacted body with
no version signal at all
> - Deploy tooling that manages instances from outside (fleet rollouts,
hosting providers, upgrade scripts) therefore cannot ground-truth that a
deploy actually shipped without holding credentials
> - A build commit is a plain git SHA of this public repository — it is
not a secret, and gating it buys no security while blocking legitimate
verification
> - This pull request surfaces the running build commit as a top-level
`commit` field on every `/api/health` response, including the redacted
anonymous one
> - The benefit is credential-free deploy verification: any operator or
tool can confirm which commit an instance serves, while the fuller
`serverInfo` block stays access-controlled as before
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing public issue — inline description following the feature
request template:
**Subsystem affected**
Server (API, runs, routes)
**Problem or motivation**
An anonymous `GET /api/health` returns a redacted body with no version
information; the running git SHA exists only in
`serverInfo.git.fullSha`, which requires a board/agent actor. External
deploy tooling (fleet rollouts, hosting providers, upgrade scripts)
therefore cannot verify that an instance is actually serving the build
it was just upgraded to — a rollout that silently keeps running the old
image is indistinguishable from a successful one at the health endpoint.
**Proposed solution**
Surface the running build commit as a top-level nullable `commit` field
on every `/api/health` response shape, including the redacted anonymous
one, while keeping the fuller `serverInfo` block access-controlled as
before. A build commit is a plain git SHA of this public repository —
exposing it costs nothing and enables credential-free deploy
verification, like the `version` endpoints on most server software.
**Alternatives considered**
Authenticating deploy tooling as a board actor to read `serverInfo` —
rejected: it forces credential plumbing into infrastructure that only
needs a public SHA, and adds a whole class of auth-misconfiguration
failure to deploy verification.
**Roadmap alignment**
Not on ROADMAP.md; a small operational observability improvement, no
overlap with planned core work.
## What Changed
- `server/src/routes/health.ts`: derive `commit` from the server info
snapshot (`serverInfo.git.fullSha` when git metadata is available, else
`null`) and include it as a top-level field on every `/api/health`
response shape — the redacted anonymous body, the full-details body, the
no-db body, and the 503 database-unreachable body.
- `serverInfo` itself remains gated to full-details responses exactly as
before; only the bare commit is newly public.
- `server/src/__tests__/health.test.ts`: updated exact-shape assertions
to include `commit`, and added an assertion that `commit` is `null` (not
omitted) when git metadata is unavailable. The redacted-response tests
now pin that anonymous callers receive the commit.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/health.test.ts` in `server/` — 13 tests
pass, including the redacted-anonymous shapes (which now pin the
`commit` field) and the git-unavailable `null` case.
- `tsc -p server/tsconfig.json --noEmit` — clean.
- Manual: `curl -s https://<instance>/api/health` as an anonymous caller
returns `"commit": "<full sha>"` alongside the existing redacted fields.
## Risks
- **Version disclosure:** anonymous callers can now fingerprint the
exact running commit. This is a deliberate trade-off: the builds are of
a public repository (the SHA reveals no private code), the endpoint
already responds to anonymous callers, and the operational value —
verifying deploys actually shipped — outweighs the marginal
fingerprinting surface. Operators who consider this sensitive are
typically fronting `/api` with their own access controls already.
- Otherwise low risk: no behavioral change to any gated field, no schema
or API-surface removal; `commit: null` keeps the field shape stable when
git metadata is absent (e.g. non-git installs).

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The heartbeat service delivers issue work to assigned agents.
> - Recovery can hand an issue back to its agent while the recovery run
is still active.
> - The hand-back wake can merge into that active run and disappear when
the run exits.
> - The stranded-work scan also treats the successful recovery run as
proof that the handed-back issue is live.
> - This pull request keeps the hand-back wake for follow-up delivery
and lets the scan repair a lost wake.
> - The benefit is that an assigned issue continues after recovery
without manual operator action.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists. This is related to the wake reconciliation work
in #8943.
**What happened?**
A recovery action could hand an assigned issue back from `blocked` to
`todo`. The `issue_recovery_action_restored` wake then merged into the
recovery run that made the change. The wake disappeared when that run
exited. The stranded-work scan did not repair the issue because it
treated the successful recovery run as current liveness.
**Expected behavior**
Paperclip must dispatch the hand-back wake after the recovery run exits.
If that delivery is lost, the stranded-work scan must enqueue the
assigned `todo` issue again.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a recovery run for an assigned blocked issue.
2. Resolve a recovery action with the `handed_back` outcome.
3. Move the issue to `todo` while the recovery run is still active.
4. Observe that the wake merges into the active run and no new run
starts after it exits.
5. Run the stranded-work scan and observe that the successful latest run
prevents repair.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`131d476a7e`
**Deployment mode**
Local dev (`pnpm dev`). The defect is in the core server and is not
deployment-specific.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific. This is a core heartbeat and recovery defect.
## What Changed
- Added `issue_recovery_action_restored` to the wake reasons that
require follow-up delivery when an issue run is active.
- Made the stranded-work scan detect a resolved hand-back that occurred
during or after the latest successful run.
- Added focused regression tests for the heartbeat coalescing seam and
the stranded-work repair shape.
- Documented the hand-back liveness guarantee in execution semantics
section 9.1.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-comment-wake-batching.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` passed: 104
tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- `pnpm test:run` passed the server shard (3,095 passed, 2 skipped) and
UI shard (3,182 passed). One unrelated CLI test failed because the agent
environment exports static AWS credentials. `env -u AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -u
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY -u AWS_SESSION_TOKEN pnpm exec vitest run
cli/src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts` passed all 8 tests.
- `git diff --check` passed.
- All GitHub checks passed on commit `8b380e67e6`.
- Greptile gave 5/5 confidence with no comments or unresolved threads.
## Risks
- Low risk. The follow-up rule affects only a recovery hand-back wake
that arrives while the same issue already has an active run.
- The backstop adds one indexed recovery-action lookup for an assigned
`todo` issue whose latest run succeeded.
- The timestamp check uses the latest run start time. This includes
hand-backs made by that run and later hand-backs, but excludes older
resolved actions.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex with GPT-5 (`gpt-5`), agentic reasoning, tool use, and
code execution. The serving context-window size is not exposed to the
agent.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents via pluggable server-side adapters,
one per provider / CLI backend
> - Each adapter package exposes a server entry point
(`@paperclipai/adapter-<name>/server`) that downstream consumers —
including plugin adapters that wrap or extend the stock behavior —
re-use for helper functions
> - `gemini-local`'s server entry re-exports a curated set of parse
helpers from `./parse.js` (`parseGeminiJsonl`,
`isGeminiUnknownSessionError`, `describeGeminiFailure`,
`detectGeminiAuthRequired`, `isGeminiTurnLimitResult`) so consumers can
classify provider output without reaching into the package's internals
> - `detectGeminiQuotaExhausted` lives in the same `parse.ts` file next
to `detectGeminiAuthRequired`, is defined with `export function`, and is
the package's single source of truth for "is this output a Gemini quota
hit?" — but it is missing from the entry-point re-export block
> - As a result, any consumer that wants to classify quota exhaustion
either has to deep-import from `./server/parse.js` (brittle against
future `exports`-field changes) or reimplement the regex locally (drift
risk against the authoritative heuristic)
> - This pull request adds `detectGeminiQuotaExhausted` to the existing
re-export block, placed next to its thematic sibling
`detectGeminiAuthRequired`, with no other changes
> - The benefit is one extra supported public symbol on
`@paperclipai/adapter-gemini-local/server` — a purely additive ergonomic
improvement with no behavior change and no existing consumer impact
## What Changed
- `packages/adapters/gemini-local/src/server/index.ts`: added
`detectGeminiQuotaExhausted` to the `export { ... } from "./parse.js"`
block, inserted between `detectGeminiAuthRequired` and
`isGeminiTurnLimitResult` (thematic grouping — both `detect*` helpers)
## Verification
Local verification against the branch commit (base: `upstream/master` at
`b649bd45`):
```
$ pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-gemini-local typecheck
> @paperclipai/adapter-gemini-local@0.3.1 typecheck
> tsc --noEmit
(exit 0)
$ pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-gemini-local build
> @paperclipai/adapter-gemini-local@0.3.1 build
> tsc
(exit 0)
$ cd server && pnpm exec vitest run src/__tests__/gemini-local-execute.test.ts
RUN v3.2.4
✓ src/__tests__/gemini-local-execute.test.ts (3 tests) 1487ms
✓ gemini execute > passes prompt via --prompt and injects paperclip env vars
✓ gemini execute > always passes --approval-mode yolo
✓ gemini execute > uses a compact wake delta instead of the full heartbeat prompt when resuming a session
Test Files 1 passed (1)
Tests 3 passed (3)
```
Existing-consumer check — all references to `detectGeminiQuotaExhausted`
anywhere in the tree:
```
packages/adapters/gemini-local/src/server/index.ts:9 (this PR's new re-export)
packages/adapters/gemini-local/src/server/parse.ts:253 (the definition)
packages/adapters/gemini-local/src/server/test.ts:19 (intra-package import from "./parse.js")
packages/adapters/gemini-local/src/server/test.ts:174 (intra-package usage)
```
No cross-package consumer references the symbol today, so the new
re-export cannot break any existing import. It is strictly additive to
the public surface of `@paperclipai/adapter-gemini-local/server`.
## Risks
None. Purely additive re-export of a symbol that is already a named
export on `./parse.ts`. The clean-success path, failure paths, and all
other adapter behavior are untouched. No existing consumer is affected.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Operators use the task page header to read and change task state
> - The status and priority icons already had picker logic, but the
compact triggers were not semantic controls
> - This made pointer and keyboard interaction unreliable in the task
header
> - This pull request makes both compact icon triggers real buttons and
keeps the existing picker behavior
> - The benefit is that operators can change status and priority
directly from the header with pointer or keyboard input
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Subsystem affected
`ui/` — React + Vite board UI.
### Problem or motivation
The compact status and priority icons can receive change handlers, but
their popover triggers are plain icon elements. They do not provide a
reliable click target, keyboard focus, or control label. Operators need
to change both values directly from the task header.
### Proposed solution
Use semantic button triggers in the shared status and priority
components. Keep the existing API update wiring and picker options. Keep
task-row navigation links separate from editable row controls. An
operator can select either icon, open its picker, and choose a new task
status or priority.
### Alternatives considered
A task-page-only wrapper would duplicate control behavior. Moving the
controls would also change the page layout. The shared components
already own the picker behavior, so a shared trigger fix is smaller and
more consistent.
### Roadmap alignment
This is a focused board UI usability and accessibility fix. It does not
duplicate a planned roadmap feature.
### Additional context
The task page already passes change handlers to these shared components.
This change makes that existing path interactive and accessible.
## What Changed
- Added semantic button triggers for compact and labeled status
controls.
- Added semantic button triggers for compact and labeled priority
controls.
- Added accessible current-state labels and keyboard focus styles.
- Separated issue-row navigation links from row controls to avoid nested
interactive elements.
- Added real popover interaction coverage and row semantics regressions.
- Added task-page regression tests for update requests.
## Verification
- Focused task-header and row suites passed with 131 tests.
- The final row, inbox, and picker regression suites passed with 83
tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec tsc -b --force` passed.
- `pnpm run typecheck:build-gaps` reproduced the CI typecheck before the
fix. The forced UI build passed after the fix.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- `pnpm test:run` completed the server and UI partitions. One unrelated
CLI AWS doctor assertion saw injected static AWS credentials and
returned `warn` instead of `pass`. The exact test passed after those two
environment variables were removed.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` passed.
- All latest-head GitHub checks passed, including both e2e shards.
- Greptile passed at the required threshold with zero open review
threads.
## Risks
- The shared issue-row DOM now uses a full-area navigation link beside
native action buttons.
- Existing visual layout, pointer navigation, keyboard navigation, and
action behavior remain covered by row, inbox, and list tests.
- Read-only status and priority icon uses are unchanged.

## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex with the `gpt-5` model. The runtime did not expose its
context window size. The agent used reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and GitHub CLI integration.

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists.
Related public PR: #7762.
The problem is a mismatch between the PR template and the linked-issue
gate.
The template gave a bare placeholder and did not explain the
literal-label rule.
The gate also missed the enhancement and docs issue templates.
## What Changed
- Replaced the bare PR-template placeholder with labeled inline
skeletons for bug, feature, and adapter paths.
- Added one sentence that says the gate reads literal labels on separate
lines.
- Added the enhancement and docs issue template field sets to the
linked-issue gate.
- Added and updated tests for prose-only bodies, template skeleton
bodies, and extra issue template coverage.
## Verification
- `node --test .github/scripts/tests/check-pr-linked-issue.test.mjs`
- The branch contains one commit:
`561f1ed3a1434ed4562306f74d40968163ef1444`
## Risks
Low risk.
The three-field minimum stays in place.
The main change is clearer author guidance in the PR template.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use.

#10541

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

## Thinking Path

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Pre-submission checklist
- [x] I searched existing open and closed issues and pull requests; no
matching report or implementation was found.
- [x] I reproduced the behavior against the pre-change `master`
implementation.
- [x] I confirmed the error originates in Paperclip's core timeline UI,
not an adapter, provider, or local configuration.
### What happened?
Selecting the default seven-day timeline range loaded only the first API
page (up to 500 issues). Companies with more activity therefore
displayed incomplete data even though the controls showed the full
selected window.
### Expected behavior
The timeline should load all issue pages that fall within the selected
date window.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Open the company timeline for a date range containing more than 500
issues.
2. Keep the default seven-day range or select another multi-day preset.
3. Observe that only the first page of issue-backed timeline data is
shown.
### Paperclip version or commit
Pre-change `master`.
### Deployment mode
Local dev source build. The behavior is not adapter-specific and is
independent of database mode and access context.
### Privacy checklist
- [x] No logs, configuration, personally identifiable information, or
user data are included.
## What Changed
- Added pagination parameters to the timeline API client contract.
- Added a timeline window loader that requests every issue page and
deduplicates actors, spans, events, and edges while preserving
pagination metadata.
- Switched the timeline query to use the complete-window loader.
- Added a regression test proving a 501-issue window loads both API
pages and combines their records.
- Preserved delegation events and edges when parent and child issues
fall on different API pages, with a server regression test.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/work-timeline-service.test.ts
ui/src/pages/Timeline.test.tsx` — 16 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — all gates clean.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed.
- Remote CI: build, typecheck, both e2e shards, canary, policy,
security, every general/serialized test shard, and the aggregate
`verify` gate passed on head `24784b28e9`.
## Risks
- Low risk: the change is isolated to timeline data loading and has no
schema or API endpoint changes.
- Large date windows now make sequential requests for all issue pages,
increasing request count for very active companies; the 500-item page
size bounds each response.
- Merged records rely on stable identifiers or composite event/edge
keys; the regression test covers cross-page combination and
deduplication behavior.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Docker image persists all instance state (project checkouts,
worktrees, run logs, uploads) under `PAPERCLIP_HOME`, and deployments
mount a volume there for durability
> - The entrypoint starts as root and drops privileges to the `node`
user, but it fixes `PAPERCLIP_HOME` ownership only when it remaps the
user's UID/GID
> - A freshly mounted volume arrives root-owned and shadows the image's
build-time `chown`, so a default-UID boot drops privileges onto an
unwritable home and the server crashes on its first `mkdir`
> - This pull request makes the entrypoint probe the home's ownership
and chown whenever it does not match the runtime user, before the
privilege drop
> - The benefit is that the image works out of the box on any
platform-managed volume, with the common already-correct boot staying
chown-free
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists — describing the bug inline (per the bug report
template).
**What happened?**
Running the image with a freshly created volume mounted at `/paperclip`
(a Docker named volume, a Kubernetes PV, or any platform-managed volume)
and the default `USER_UID`/`USER_GID` crashes on boot: `Error: EACCES:
permission denied, mkdir '/paperclip/instances/default/logs'`.
**Expected behavior**
The container boots and initializes its instance tree on the mounted
volume, exactly as it does when `/paperclip` is the image's own
(build-time chowned) directory.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. `docker volume create paperclip-data`
2. `docker run -v paperclip-data:/paperclip
ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip:<any current tag>`
3. Observe the EACCES crash on the first `mkdir` under `/paperclip`.
**Root cause**
`scripts/docker-entrypoint.sh` chowns `/paperclip` only inside its
UID/GID remap branch (`changed=1`). A fresh volume mount is root-owned
and shadows the image's build-time `chown node:node /paperclip`; with
the default 1000:1000 no remap happens, so no chown happens, and `gosu
node` drops onto an unwritable home.
**Paperclip version or commit:** reproduces on `master` and any
published image.
**Deployment mode:** any; observed on managed-cloud volume mounts and
reproducible with plain Docker named volumes.
**Installation method:** Docker image (`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip`).
**Related PRs (dedup search):** no open or merged PR touches the
entrypoint ownership logic; the entrypoint's privilege-handling tests
were added previously and this extends them. No duplicate found.
## What Changed
- `scripts/docker-entrypoint.sh`: the remap-conditional `chown` is
replaced by an ownership probe — after any UID/GID remap, the entrypoint
stats `PAPERCLIP_HOME` (default `/paperclip`) and runs `chown -R
node:node` only when the owner does not match the runtime user, before
`exec gosu node`. Covers fresh root-owned mounts and trees written under
a previous UID mapping; the already-correct boot performs no chown. The
unprivileged (non-root start) branch is unchanged.
- `server/src/__tests__/docker-entrypoint.test.ts`: `stat` stub added to
the harness; new cases for the fresh root-owned mount with default
UID/GID and for `PAPERCLIP_HOME`-relative probing; the remap case now
models the post-remap ownership mismatch.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/docker-entrypoint.test.ts` — 7
passed (5 existing behaviors unchanged, 2 new).
- Live on a managed deployment: a container that crash-looped with the
EACCES above boots cleanly once the home is chowned before the drop (the
same effect this entrypoint change produces; forced there by a UID remap
as an interim workaround).
## Risks
- Low. Behavior changes only for boots where `PAPERCLIP_HOME` exists
with mismatched ownership — exactly the boots that crash today. `chown
-R` on a large previously-mismatched tree adds one-time boot latency;
correctly-owned homes skip it entirely. Kubernetes restricted /
OpenShift non-root starts keep the existing exec-directly path
untouched.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Company Import/Export (#10507, hardened in #10523 and #10531) now
imports a large company end to end via an async job
> - A real 1,418-issue import succeeded, but three rough edges showed up
in that success
> - Imported issues flooded the inbox, a completed import surfaced a
false "failed" message after its in-memory result expired, and the new
company didn't appear in the switcher until a manual refresh
> - This pull request keeps imported issues out of the inbox, treats an
expired-but-completed import as success, and refreshes the company list
on completion
> - The benefit is that a successful import looks and feels successful,
and doesn't bury the user's inbox in historical tasks
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Refs #10507 / #10523 / #10531 (Import/Export and its hardening). No
open issue; three post-import bugs described above.
## What Changed
- **Imported issues no longer flood the inbox.** The inbox "mine" tab is
a query: an issue is "touched" if the user authored a comment on it, and
import re-attributes bundled user comments to the importing user — so
every imported issue appeared. Import now seeds a per-user
`issue_inbox_archives` row for each imported issue (via a batched
`issues.archiveImportedInbox`), the exact table the inbox visibility
query excludes. Gated on an actor user id, so agent/system imports and
normal issue creation are untouched; genuine new activity still
resurfaces the issue.
- **A completed import no longer shows a false failure.** The in-memory
job's terminal retention was 5 minutes, so a poll after that 404'd and
the UI showed "failed." Retention is extended to 60 minutes — the real
mitigation for a user who steps away during a long import.
`watchImportJob` additionally treats a *server-confirmed* success whose
full result is no longer retained (a `succeeded` status carrying only
the compact summary — a cloud tenant job, or a board job whose full
in-memory result aged out) as a soft success ("import completed — open
the company"), navigating by the summary's company id. A 404 while the
job is still being watched is *not* treated as success: a running job is
never dropped by the retention sweep, so its disappearance means a
restart mid-import that may not have finished, and it surfaces the
honest "may have restarted while the import ran" error. A first-poll 404
(the id never existed) is likewise a real error.
- **The imported company appears without a refresh.** `onSuccess` now
invalidates the companies/switcher query unconditionally (covering both
the full-result and expired-but-completed paths) and navigates by the
job's company id.
## Verification
- shared/server/ui typechecks clean; 15 UI tests in the touched spec
green, plus the embedded-Postgres import batching and portability-routes
suites.
- New tests: embedded-Postgres test that imported touched issues are
archived for the actor and excluded from the inbox query while a
normally-created issue still appears; job resolvable at the old window+1
and only 404s past 60 min; UI soft success on a server-confirmed
`succeeded` job without a retained full result (no error, list
invalidated, navigates by company id), a running-then-gone job → honest
error (restart mid-import), and a first-poll 404 → error.
## Risks
- Low and import-scoped: the inbox archive only affects imported issues
for the importing user; normal issue creation and non-user
(agent/system) imports are unchanged. Retention extension is a constant;
the async job store remains in-memory by design. A restart mid-import
still 404s and is surfaced honestly as a possible failure (never masked
as success); only a server-confirmed success whose full result has
expired is reported as a soft success.
## Model Used
- Implementation: Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`, Anthropic). Review
hardening (the confirmed-success narrowing): Claude Opus 4.8
(`claude-opus-4-8`, Anthropic). Both via the Claude Code CLI with
extended thinking + tool use; root-caused against the live import.

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

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip helps people run and govern AI agent work
> - Sandbox startup needs a safe place to add telemetry spans without
forcing OpenTelemetry on every run
> - This change adds a no-op span seam, so the startup path can accept a
tracer later and still stay inert now

helper gets an injected tracer hook
> - The change keeps the default path free of OpenTelemetry and keeps
the existing startup event path unchanged
> - The benefit is a future-safe seam with no runtime change today
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This PR addresses a feature gap in the sandbox startup path.
### Problem
Sandbox startup has no safe span seam. A direct OpenTelemetry import
would load telemetry packages on every run.
### Proposed Solution
Add a lazy tracer accessor in the server. Add an injected no-op tracer
seam in startup timing.
### Alternatives
Import OpenTelemetry directly in the startup path. Reject that path
because the default startup flow must stay inert.
## What Changed
- Added a lazy startup tracer accessor in
`server/src/instrumentation.ts`.
- Added an injected startup tracer seam in
`packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/startup-timing.ts`.
- Kept the startup event path unchanged.
- Kept `adapter-utils` free of OpenTelemetry imports.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run

## Risks
Low risk. The default tracer is a no-op, so the runtime path stays inert
until a later change injects a real tracer.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5. Tool use and code execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip creates isolated instances for linked git worktrees so
development does not affect the primary instance
> - Those instances inherited the source instance's automatic
database-backup setting and also repaired older configs without
overriding it
> - As worktrees accumulated, each isolated instance could schedule its
own backup stream, producing redundant backup churn for disposable
database clones
> - This pull request makes backup disablement an invariant of worktree
config creation and repair
> - The benefit is that automatic backups remain focused on the durable
primary instance while isolated development instances stop accumulating
redundant backup files
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this bug, so the report is included
here. The closest related open change is Refs #10266, which hardens
where worktree config repair may write; this PR changes the backup
policy applied by that repair and by worktree initialization.
### What happened?
Isolated worktree instances copied `database.backup.enabled` from their
source config. When the source instance enabled automatic backups (the
normal default), every linked worktree also enabled a scheduled backup
stream. Existing worktree configs kept that state during startup repair,
so the redundant backups continued after the policy changed.
### Expected behavior
Automatic database backups are disabled for isolated worktree instances
created by `paperclipai worktree init` or `paperclipai worktree:make`,
and legacy worktree configs are migrated to that policy during normal
startup repair. The durable primary/default instance keeps its existing
backup behavior.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Start from a Paperclip instance whose database backup setting is
enabled.
2. Create or initialize a linked worktree with `paperclipai worktree
init`.
3. Inspect the generated worktree config and environment.
4. Before this change, the config retained `database.backup.enabled:
true` and the environment had no disabling override; after this change,
the config is false and `PAPERCLIP_DB_BACKUP_ENABLED=false` is
persisted.
### Paperclip version, deployment mode, and environment
- Reproduced against `master` before commit `ea5e0a0269`.
- Deployment mode: local trusted development with linked git worktrees
and embedded PostgreSQL.
- Environment: Node.js 22, pnpm workspace install.
## What Changed
- Always generate isolated worktree configs with automatic backups
disabled.
- Persist `PAPERCLIP_DB_BACKUP_ENABLED=false` in generated worktree
environments.
- Repair existing isolated worktree configs and environments that still
enable backups.
- Add CLI and server regression coverage for creation and legacy repair
paths.
- Document the worktree-specific backup policy and primary-instance
exception.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run cli/src/__tests__/worktree.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/worktree-config.test.ts` — 52 tests passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- All repository commands above were run with inherited worktree runtime
identity variables removed.
## Risks
- Low operational risk: the change is limited to explicitly isolated
worktree instances.
- Operators who intentionally relied on automatic backups of disposable
worktree databases will now need to run a manual backup or explicitly
manage those files outside the scheduled worktree runtime.
- No schema, migration, API, UI, lockfile, or workflow changes.

## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex based on GPT-5 (the runtime does not expose a more
specific snapshot ID or context-window value), using reasoning, tool
use, local code execution, and GitHub CLI integration.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - On Paperclip Cloud, each stack authenticates its users to the tenant
app through trusted headers (`resolveCloudTenantActor`), which seed a
primary company for the stack
> - That actor was pinned to exactly one company — the seeded primary —
regardless of any other companies the user actually holds a membership
in
> - Companies created later (via the import flow, or company creation)
write real membership rows for the user, but the pinned actor ignored
them, so those companies showed up in listings yet returned "User does
not have access to this company" when opened
> - This pull request unions the pinned primary with the user's own
active membership rows, exactly as a locally authenticated session
already does
> - The benefit is that a Cloud user can reach every company they belong
to — most visibly, a company they just imported
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Refs #10507 (Import/Export — imported companies were unreachable on
Cloud stacks). No open issue; bug described above (companies visible in
listing but unreachable; expected: reachable when the user holds an
active membership).
## What Changed
- Extracted the session path's own active-membership query into
`loadActiveUserCompanyMemberships(db, userId)` (single-sourced; the
session path now calls it too).
- `resolveCloudTenantActor` unions its result with the pinned primary:
`companyIds = [primary, ...others]`, memberships likewise, primary
first. Strictly per-user; a membership-read failure degrades to
primary-only (mirrors the existing fail-closed owner-elevation pattern).
No change to owner instance-admin elevation, grant seeding, the stale
instance-admin purge, or trusted-header validation.
- Grants are seeded at membership creation across all flows (company
create, invite/join, import), not per request — so no extra seeding was
added here.
## Verification
- `@paperclipai/server` typecheck clean.
- `cloud-tenant-actor.test.ts` (+ union / other-user-excluded /
inactive-excluded / no-rows-identical cases),
`auth-session-route.test.ts` (route-level: trusted headers reach a
unioned company through `assertCompanyAccess`), plus agent-auth,
authz-company-access, cross-company-authz, portability-routes — 83 tests
green.
## Risks
- Low and tightly scoped: only widens a Cloud actor's reachable
companies to those it already holds active memberships in; users without
extra memberships, other users' rows, and owner elevation are all
unaffected. Read failure fails closed to primary-only.
## Model Used

extended thinking + tool use.
