Introduce company-scoped task, agent, user and project files, recoverable trash, object-backed repository checkpoints, and a shared 180-second lifecycle for sandbox execution. Wire file browsing and save status into the owner surfaces. This is an implementation checkpoint; staging acceptance and the complete merge gate remain outstanding.
## Thinking Path

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12993. Related repository-catalog work in #11228 and #11234 was
checked. This change only improves the existing GitHub connection
permissions page.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The GitHub connection permissions page and its repository display
metadata.
**Current behavior**
The page links directly to an existing installation. The repository list
has no account filter, search, height limit, or private-repository
marker. Refresh access occupies a separate section.
**Proposed behavior**
Show all authorized repositories by default. Filter by account or
organization and search by name. Open GitHub's account chooser to
configure access across organizations. Show GitHub icons and
private-repository locks. Keep refresh beside configuration and limit
the visible list to about ten rows.
**Reason and benefit**
Users can find repositories across organizations and configure missing
access without creating another GitHub identity. Large repository lists
no longer fill the page.
**Breaking changes**
None. Repository display metadata gains an optional private flag. Older
snapshots remain valid and gain the flag after access refresh. No SQL
migration is required.
## What Changed
- Add an All accounts view, account filter, search, and empty states.
- Link both configuration controls to GitHub's app account chooser.
- Place an accessible refresh icon beside the configuration button.
- Keep the repository heading and list in one section.
- Add GitHub icons and private-repository locks.
- Cap the scrollable list at ten rows using a design token.
- Persist GitHub's private flag only when the provider returns a
boolean.
- Recover missing legacy app configuration from GitHub installation
metadata.
- Update tests and the GitHub connection runbook.
## Verification
- Focused tests passed: 54 permissions-page tests and four GitHub
metadata tests.
- UI and server typechecks passed before submission. Token gates passed.
- Browser checks verified account filtering, search, empty results, and
the configuration destination.
- The live list contained 40 repositories. Its final height was 272
pixels, which fits ten single-line rows with gaps. Scrolling retained
all rows.
- A live access refresh populated 30 private-repository lock icons from
GitHub metadata.
- Full workspace typecheck and build passed. The broad local suite
stopped in the general-server group with 18 failed files. Failures
include macOS temporary-path handling and embedded PostgreSQL startup.
That run also overlapped the legacy fix and retained a stale GitHub
module; the final focused run passed all 58 tests. Clean-runner CI is
tracked separately.
- Latest-head review is 5/5 with the legacy chooser finding resolved.
All CI checks passed on commit
`0ff2b63f348f5c87d8b7df6e43388f60f5d872d9`, including build, typecheck,
all test shards, browser tests, and canary dry run.
## Risks
- Older repository snapshots lack visibility metadata until refreshed.
Unknown visibility does not display a lock.
- The account filter lists authorized installation owners. Users add
other organizations through GitHub's chooser.
- Filtering changes only the displayed list. GitHub remains
authoritative for repository access.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - GitHub connections give agents an account with selected repository
access.
> - Fresh local instances enroll with production Paperclip Cloud.
> - Enrollment could finish while the GitHub OAuth profile remained
disabled.
> - Setup then switched to a personal access token form without
explanation.
> - This change preserves sign-in intent and shows the connected account
and repositories.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related: #12907, #12943, #12947. Existing open GitHub connection work
was checked. No duplicate was found.
**What happened?**
After Cloud enrollment, a fresh test-drive asked for a GitHub key.
Production did not advertise the managed GitHub profile. Staging did.
The permissions page also omitted the authenticated username and
repository names.
**Expected behavior**
Continue with GitHub OAuth when available. Explain unavailable sign-in
and allow retry otherwise. Show the GitHub username and complete
accessible repository list.
**Steps to reproduce**
Start a fresh test-drive. Choose GitHub and complete instance enrollment
while the Cloud GitHub profile is disabled. Open an existing GitHub
connection's permissions page.
## What Changed
- Preserve managed sign-in intent when the gallery omits its profile.
- Refresh the selected gallery entry on retry without resetting the
audience.
- Fetch all pages of GitHub installations and repositories.
- Store only repository IDs, full names, and installation IDs in grant
metadata.
- Show the GitHub username, repository list, management link, and
refresh action.
- Discard the repository snapshot after newer installation lifecycle
events. Preserve snapshots verified after delayed events.
- Lock and re-read grant metadata when applying installation events or
saving refreshed access. Patch only webhook fields for other events.
Reject snapshots if access changed during the external fetch, using
unique access revisions even when timestamps collide.
- Show repository installation recovery for managed OAuth even when the
app also offers an advanced PAT method.
- Update tests and the GitHub connection runbook. No SQL migration is
required.
## Verification
- Local typecheck, build, and token gates passed. All latest-head CI
gates passed, including the complete test matrix and browser suites.
Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved findings.
- All 382 focused setup, permissions, metadata, service, and webhook
tests passed across final runs. One socket-hang-up test passed on rerun
with the full service suite. Final service, metadata, and webhook checks
passed all 230 tests.
- The broad local suite was stopped after failures. Seven
workspace-runtime exposure and control-conflict failures reproduce on
base commit `54a99d884`. The broad run also overlapped local iteration;
final focused tests and clean-checkout CI are tracked separately.
- Browser: a fresh production-backed instance completed enrollment,
retried after profile enablement, reached GitHub consent, recovered from
a missing installation, and completed OAuth.
- Browser: the permissions page showed the authenticated username and
the selected private test repository. A real `get_me` call returned the
same account. Reading the selected repository passed; reading an
unselected private repository failed with 404.
- Browser: a second fresh instance completed enrollment and OAuth
without a PAT form or unavailable state. Its username and repository
list survived reload and refresh. A real get_me call on the final code
returned the displayed account.
## Risks
- Repository names are now stored in company-scoped grant metadata and
shown with that credential. They are display data, not authorization
data.
- Large selections require more GitHub API calls. A failed later page
rejects the refresh rather than reporting a partial list.
- Older grants and webhook-invalidated snapshots require Refresh access
to load the list.
- Cloud profile enablement is separate deployment configuration. This PR
does not change OAuth scopes or GitHub App permissions.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents need source control access for repository work
> - A shared token cannot preserve the responsible person's identity or
an agent's dedicated identity
> - GitHub App tokens also need durable refresh, repository access
checks, and webhook delivery
> - Paperclip already has managed connections, encrypted grants, run
secret leases, and merge-confirmation behavior
> - This pull request extends those systems with GitHub identities
instead of adding a parallel credential system
> - The benefit is durable GitHub access with explicit identity,
repository, runtime, and webhook boundaries
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue describes this connection change. This
description follows the feature request template.
**Subsystem affected**
Connected Apps, connection grants, secret resolution, native Git runtime
setup, webhook processing, and the Apps UI.
**Problem or motivation**
Users need to connect GitHub once and let agents use the correct GitHub
identity. A run should use a dedicated agent account when one exists.
Otherwise, it should use the responsible person's account. The
connection must survive token expiry, repository access changes, and
temporary instance downtime.
**Proposed solution**
Add user-owned and agent-owned GitHub grants to the existing connection
model. Resolve one identity for MCP, Git, `gh`, health checks, and
webhook bindings. Store provider tokens in the existing encrypted secret
system. Refresh expiring token pairs under the existing lease and
compare-and-swap path. Register signed Cloud webhook bindings and
process normalized pull request and installation events through a
durable local inbox.
**Alternatives considered**
An organization-wide GitHub token would lose person and agent
attribution. Environment variables alone would bypass the managed
connection and grant model. A new GitHub-only credential store would
duplicate the existing secret and access systems. GitHub App
installation tokens and private-key custody remain outside this first
version.
**Roadmap alignment**
This change implements the Connected Apps direction. It also extends the
shipped MCP Tool Gateway, per-agent secret access, and
action-attribution systems. It does not add a repository catalog. The
open repository catalog work in
[#11234](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/11234) is related
and complementary.
## What Changed
- Added agent-owned connection grants and a per-agent credential policy
with company and subject constraints.
- Added a managed GitHub App method while keeping the personal access
token method as an advanced fallback.
- Added durable access-token and refresh-token handling with proactive
rotation and one automatic recovery after a provider `401`.
- Added GitHub identity and installation summaries without storing
repository-name lists.
- Added signed Cloud webhook binding, event lease, acknowledgement,
local idempotency, pull request merge processing, and installation
access handling.
- Added one identity resolver for MCP, native Git, `gh`, checkout,
health checks, and webhook bindings.
- Added a class-3 run projection for `GH_TOKEN`, `GITHUB_TOKEN`, a
`github.com`-only credential helper, SSH-to-HTTPS rewrite, and GitHub
noreply commit attribution.
- Added personal and dedicated-agent setup choices plus identity,
repository, continuity, and webhook status in the Apps UI.
- Added schema migrations, tests, and connection documentation.
## Verification
- The current head is fully green in GitHub CI, including build,
typecheck, all serialized/general server shards, all browser shards,
policy, canary dry run, review, and security checks.
- Live staging proof completed with a non-expiring GitHub App user
token, selected-repository installation, repository add/remove refresh,
managed MCP, native `gh`, HTTPS clone/push/delete, GitHub noreply commit
attribution, signed merged-PR webhook acceptance, durable
Cloud-to-instance delivery, and installation-access event processing.
Temporary branches and temporary repository access were removed
afterward.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed before and after the rebase onto
`origin/master`.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- The focused connector suite passed 285 tests after the rebase.
- The full stable suite passed 5,790 tests and failed 22 tests across 8
general server files. The failures reproduced as shared-runner
environment issues. They included `/tmp` versus `/private/tmp`, closed
database connections, and invalid high ephemeral ports. The focused
connection tests pass in isolation.
## Risks
- Migrations add agent grant subjects and a durable connection-event
inbox. Migration numbering and safety checks pass.
- A raw GitHub user token enters the agent process for Git and `gh`.
Per-tool Ask-first controls cannot limit those shell operations. The UI
warns users about this boundary.
- GitHub App user tokens can be non-expiring. Paperclip performs a
continuity check every 30 days, but provider revocation still requires a
reconnect.
- The webhook path accepts only signed and bounded payloads. It stores a
minimal normalized record and no raw provider payload.
- GitHub repository permissions remain authoritative. Removed access can
make a cached repository count temporarily stale, but runtime access
fails immediately.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip records agent run outcomes through telemetry and run
lifecycle services
> - Terminal run transitions need one consistent event for outcome
analysis
> - The current paths do not report every terminal transition through
one event
> - This pull request adds the agent.task_run event and emits it at each
terminal transition
> - The benefit is complete run outcome data without exposing raw task
identifiers
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Paperclip telemetry reports agent activity, but it does not report every
terminal task run through one event.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (multiple of the above): packages/shared telemetry and
server run lifecycle services.
**Current behavior**
Several run paths write a terminal status without a matching
agent.task_run telemetry event.
**Proposed behavior**
Each terminal run transition emits one agent.task_run event. The event
records the terminal state and uses the existing pseudonym helper for
the optional task identifier.
**Reason and benefit**
Complete terminal-run data helps operators measure agent outcomes. The
pseudonym helper prevents the raw task identifier from leaving the
installation.
**Breaking changes**
None. The change adds an event and keeps existing event behavior
compatible.
## What Changed
- Add the agent.task_run telemetry contract and client helper.
- Reuse the existing pseudonym helper for the task identifier. The
helper hashes the identifier with a per-installation salt and returns 16
hexadecimal characters. The raw identifier never leaves the
installation. Existing identifiers do not move.
- Emit one event from each legacy, native, recovery, and issue terminal
transition.
- Keep emissions outside database transactions and make delivery
best-effort.
- Add regression tests for event shape, hashing, terminal transitions,
and emission failures.
- Document the event and its privacy rule in the telemetry data
contract.
## Verification
- `npx tsc --noEmit` in `server/` passes at the submitted commit.
- The pull-request CI suite must pass. CI is the authority because local
Vitest has a known dependency artifact.
- The added regression tests cover event output shape, per-installation
hash divergence, raw identifier handoff, omitted identifiers, and
non-throwing emits.
## Risks
- A missed terminal path could reduce event coverage.
- Telemetry delivery remains best-effort and cannot change run
finalization.
- The pseudonym helper uses installation-specific state, so identifiers
differ between installations.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution. Context window details
were not provided.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip manages AI agents that perform work.
> - Paperclip Runner connects durable task runs to local provider
processes.
> - The full-stack paid matrix exposed failures after the runner
integrity repair.
> - Verified JavaScript entrypoints lost their relative module graph
when Linux executed them through descriptor paths.
> - Returned provider startup errors also remained pending and became
indeterminate after recovery.
> - Sparse Codex tool lifecycle events lost the `write_document`
identity before task transcript projection.
> - This pull request repairs those three boundaries and makes the
structured-question fixture deterministic.
> - The benefit is repeatable provider startup, exact failure replay,
and correct inline Plan placement.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12721 and #12700.
**What happened?**
The paid runner matrix failed ACPX and OpenCode startup before provider
session creation. The runner journal then replaced the original startup
error with an indeterminate recovery result. Native Codex saved a Plan
but rendered it only as a fallback card. A legacy Claude waiting reply
could also echo the reserved terminal marker before the answer arrived.
**Expected behavior**
Verified JavaScript providers must start from immutable
descriptor-backed artifacts. Returned startup failures must persist as
terminal failed command results. Native tool lifecycle updates must
preserve the `write_document` boundary. Pre-answer fixture output must
not contain the reserved terminal marker.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the local provider cells in the Runner Full-Stack E2E workflow.
2. Observe ACPX and OpenCode fail during `session.open` before provider
execution.
3. Observe recovery report `execution_indeterminate` instead of the
original startup error.
4. Run the native Codex Plan cell and observe the fallback Plan card
after the tool activity row.
5. Run the legacy Claude structured-question resume cell and observe an
early marker echo in waiting prose.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`0f9452101740835ce0b1488a204bf48acd5bafc3`
**Deployment mode**
Local development with the paid GitHub Actions acceptance workflow.
## What Changed
- Bundle the ACPX sidecar and OpenCode proxy as self-contained Node ESM
entrypoints before hashing and verified descriptor launch.
- Anchor ACPX dynamic provider package resolution at a
controller-derived provider-pack root and keep that root out of the
provider child environment.
- Persist executor-returned startup errors as redacted durable failed
command results while retaining indeterminate recovery for true process
death.
- Coalesce sparse native tool items by stable ID so a late
`write_document` name, input, and result reach the transcript boundary
once.
- Forbid the structured-question fixture from spelling or announcing its
reserved terminal marker before the user answers.
## Verification
- Rust and TypeScript regression tests cover durable failed replay, true
crash ambiguity, bundle closure, package-root derivation, environment
filtering, exact Codex tool lifecycle coalescing, and prompt
determinism.
- Local execution is intentionally limited to formatters and static diff
checks. GitHub Actions will run tests, type checks, builds, and security
checks.
- After ordinary CI is green, scoped paid cells will validate one ACPX
launch, one OpenCode launch, native Codex Plan projection, and legacy
Claude structured resume before a complete matrix rerun.
- Prior failing matrix:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33682434315
## Risks
- Bundling changes the bytes covered by provider launch hashes.
Provider-pack generation already hashes the final built files.
- ACPX still loads qualified provider packages dynamically. The
controller supplies a normalized package root, while existing version,
digest, path, and descriptor checks remain active.
- Durable `failed` is terminal. Replays return the same redacted result
and do not execute the provider effect twice.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent permissions control which agents can create or hire other
agents (`canCreateAgents`)
> - Today only CEO-role agents get this permission by default; every
other agent starts without it
> - Teams that want agents to delegate and build out their own teams
must flip the toggle on each hire, and most operators want delegation to
work out of the box
> - This pull request makes `canCreateAgents` default to enabled for new
standard-trust agents, while low-trust agents keep a disabled default
> - The benefit is that agent teams can grow without per-agent
permission toggling, while low-trust containment and checkout protection
stay intact
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related (not fixed by this PR): #8064 also decouples an authority from
`agents:create`.
**Subsystem affected**
Server agent permissions (`server/src/services/agent-permissions.ts`),
authorization (`server/src/services/authorization.ts`), the shared
`agentPermissionsSchema` validator, and the UI trust-preset helper.
**Problem or motivation**
New agents cannot hire other agents unless an operator enables
`canCreateAgents` on each one. Only CEO-role agents get the permission
by default. This blocks delegation-by-default workflows. Operators must
toggle the permission for every hire.
**Proposed solution**
Default `canCreateAgents` to `true` for newly created agents. Apply and
persist the default at creation only. Stored rows without an explicit
value stay fail-closed at read and enforcement time. Keep the default at
`false` when the agent's permissions record marks it low-trust (the
`low_trust_review` preset or a trust boundary). Explicit values always
win. Decouple `tasks:manage_active_checkouts` from `canCreateAgents` so
the default-on flag does not let a peer agent write over another agent's
checked-out issue.
**Alternatives considered**
Granting the default only at the route layer would leave stored rows and
enforcement out of sync. Keeping the checkout authority coupled to
`canCreateAgents` would void the active-checkout write protection once
the flag is default-on. A per-company setting adds configuration surface
without a clear need; explicit per-agent overrides already exist.
**Roadmap alignment**
Governance and trust-preset work already separates standard-trust from
low-trust agents. This change follows that line: capability by default
for standard trust, containment by default for low trust.
## What Changed
- `normalizeAgentPermissions` now takes a `create`/`stored` context.
Creation writes get the new default: enabled unless
`permissionsImplyLowTrust()` detects the low-trust review preset or a
trust boundary. Stored rows without an explicit value normalize to
disabled (fail-closed). The role parameter is gone.
- `agentPermissionsSchema` no longer injects `canCreateAgents: false`
when the field is omitted. The server-side default applies instead.
- `authorization.ts` normalizes raw agent rows for `agents:create`, so
enforcement matches what the API reports for legacy rows.
- `tasks:manage_active_checkouts` no longer rides on `canCreateAgents`.
CEO role, explicit grants, and the manager chain remain the paths.
- `agents:create` is denied outright inside any resolved low-trust
execution context (agent, project, issue, or run policy). The default-on
flag can never reach the legacy creator allow there.
- The UI trust-preset helper sets `canCreateAgents: false` when an agent
is switched to the low-trust preset, instead of carrying the old value
forward.
- `doc/CLI.md` describes the new default for `teams install`.
- Tests pin the default matrix (standard, low-trust, explicit overrides)
on the server and in the UI helper.
## Verification
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/agent-permissions-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/agent-permissions-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/low-trust-red-team-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/authorization-service.test.ts` — 143 tests pass.
- Broader sweep: 18 suites that touch `canCreateAgents` (hire,
pending-approval, teams catalog, portability, built-in agents,
plugin-managed agents) pass locally.
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/lib/trust-policy-ui.test.ts
src/components/TrustPresetSection.test.tsx src/pages/NewAgent.test.tsx
src/pages/Agents.test.tsx` — passes.
- Typecheck is clean for the changed files in `packages/shared`,
`server`, and `ui`.
## Risks
- Behavioral shift: agents created after this change persist
`canCreateAgents: true` unless low-trust. Pre-existing agents keep their
stored value. Legacy or malformed permission records without an explicit
value stay fail-closed at read and enforcement time; they never gain the
authority retroactively.
- Low-trust runs can no longer create agents at all, even when the agent
carries an explicit `canCreateAgents: true`. Before this change, that
combination could hire. The red-team suite and a new authorization test
pin the denial.
- Narrowing: a non-CEO agent with `canCreateAgents: true` loses implicit
`tasks:manage_active_checkouts`. The manager chain and explicit grants
still provide it. This narrowing is deliberate; without it, the
default-on flag would let any peer bypass active-checkout write
protection.
- No migrations. No API shape changes. Low-trust defaults are covered by
the red-team regression suite.
## Model Used
- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`), Anthropic — via Claude Code CLI
with extended thinking and tool use (code search, editing, local test
execution).

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for companies that use AI agents.
> - Apps give humans and agents controlled access to external services.
> - The existing app detail flow split permissions, tests, setup, and
activity across separate pages.
> - The split made access rules harder to understand and made reconnect
work hard to find.
> - New write actions also defaulted to Ask first, which did not match
the intended connection policy.
> - This pull request combines permission control and action testing,
removes the setup page, and moves connection activity into Audit.

review each app.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The installed app Permissions, Test, Setup, and Activity views.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This change updates the React UI, shared app defaults,
server permission behavior, tests, smoke scripts, and connection
documentation.
**Current behavior**
App access and action testing use separate pages. The app detail view
also links to a setup page after installation. Connection activity uses
a separate tab. New write actions default to Ask first.
**Proposed behavior**
Permissions uses the connection access language from the initial flow.
It includes searchable Read and Write sections, a three-state permission
control, and a Test dialog for each action. Reconnect appears below a
Needs attention header on Permissions and Review. Old Setup and Test
links redirect to Permissions. Old Activity links redirect to the
filtered company Audit feed. New write actions default to Allowed.
**Reason and benefit**
A person can understand and test app access without moving between
several pages. Reconnect work stays visible where the person reviews the
connection. Audit events use one consistent feed and filter model. New
connections have the intended default policy.
**Breaking changes**
The Setup, Test, and app Activity tabs are removed. Existing deep links
redirect to their replacement pages. Existing saved action permissions
do not change. Only defaults for new write actions change.
**Additional context**
This builds on the managed app connection work in #12728. A search found
no duplicate open pull request or issue.
## What Changed
- Combined action testing with Permissions.
- Added searchable Read and Write action groups.
- Added Off, Ask first, and Allowed controls with tooltips.
- Added an action Test dialog with agent selection, arguments, and
formatted results.
- Removed the installed-app Setup and Activity tabs.
- Added reconnect guidance to Permissions and Review when a connection
needs attention.
- Routed connection activity into the company Audit feed and preserved
the Apps & tools filter in streamlined Audit.
- Moved connection removal to the Connectors-page management menu.
- Made new write actions default to Allowed across connection creation
paths.
- Updated regression tests, browser suites, smoke scripts, and
connection documentation.
## Verification

- `pnpm test:run` completed with 5,755 passing tests and 20 unrelated
macOS harness failures. The failures use `/tmp` versus `/private/tmp`,
invalid ports above 65535, and workspace fixtures outside this change.
## Risks
- Low migration risk. This change has no database migration.
- Old app-detail URLs depend on redirect compatibility.
- New connections grant write actions by default. Finalization remains
configure-authorized and audited, Ask first and Off remain available per
action, and existing connections keep their saved policy.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Apps let people give agents governed access to external providers
> - Paperclip Cloud brokers shared provider authorization for managed
stacks
> - The managed flow sent the browser through a confirmation page after
the tenant had already prepared sign-in
> - A lost confirmation response could also show an expired-session
error before the provider page opened
> - This pull request adds an opaque handoff contract and one shared
tenant coordinator
> - The benefit is a direct and recoverable transition from Paperclip to
every Cloud-brokered provider
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A managed Paperclip Cloud connection opened the Cloud confirmation
route. A response-loss race could show an expired-session error while
the authorization still continued.
**Expected behavior**
The current Paperclip loading state must stay visible while the tenant
exchanges an opaque session. The browser must then open the provider
directly. Self-hosted and direct OAuth must keep their existing
behavior.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open Apps on a Paperclip Cloud stack.
2. Start a managed provider connection.
3. Select Continue to sign in.
4. Observe that the browser visits the Cloud confirmation route before
it reaches the provider.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`b872cd3d1b404bdaff70af493a2973ceb7e5d6ec`
**Deployment mode**
Paperclip Cloud hosted stack.
No related open issue or pull request was found in the repository
search.
## What Changed
- Add a backward-compatible opaque Cloud handoff to the shared OAuth
start contract.
- Validate the Cloud descriptor on the server and expose no
browser-selected endpoint.
- Exchange managed handoffs through one fixed same-origin route in every
Apps OAuth launcher.
- Keep dialog popups reserved before asynchronous work and retain the
tenant loading state.
- Add recent-login resume storage, bounded retry behavior, terminal
tenant errors, tests, and Storybook states.
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- Focused connector and UI suites: 184 passed and 202 skipped.
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm build-storybook`
- The full local suite reached one unrelated macOS path-alias failure.
The untouched test expected `/var/...` and received the equivalent
`/private/var/...`. The same test reproduces in isolation.
## Risks
- A malformed managed descriptor now fails closed in Paperclip instead
of opening a URL.
- A legacy Cloud deployment can omit the descriptor. Paperclip then uses
the existing validated confirmation URL.
- Direct provider OAuth and self-hosted flows do not receive a handoff
and remain unchanged.
- Rollback is a normal revert of this commit because the contract is
optional and backward compatible.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for companies that use AI agents for
work
> - Local adapters connect Paperclip agents to provider command line
tools
> - The Codex adapter stores login data in a shared company home
> - A shared home cannot keep credentials for more than one Codex
account
> - This pull request gives each account a safe home and a matching
company secret
> - The benefit is that one company can use multiple Codex accounts at
the same time
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Problem or motivation**
A company can hold only one Codex subscription credential because device
login uses one shared home. A second account cannot log in without
replacing or conflicting with the first credential.
**Proposed solution**
This change validates the vendor account identifier, stores each
credential in its own home, and creates a company secret that points to
that home. Repeat login calls return success when the matching secret
already exists.
**Roadmap alignment**
The change supports the roadmap goal for centrally managed secrets with
scoped access and audited resolution.
**Additional context**
The security review returned approve with no blocking finding. The
branch adds shared account-handle validation and tests for device login
and the Codex local adapter.
## What Changed
- Add strict allowlist validation for Codex account handles.
- Store each Codex account credential in a separate home under the Codex
cache root.
- Verify that the resolved account home stays inside the cache root.
- Create the `CODEX_HOME_<handle>` company secret for each account.
- Keep repeat and concurrent login calls safe and idempotent.
- Add shared helper and route, adapter, and validation tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local test` passes with 343
tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server test
src/__tests__/agent-device-login-routes.test.ts` passes with 25 tests.
- The adapter suite passes with 23 tests.
- The shared package and Codex adapter typechecks pass.
- Continuous integration must pass on every check before merge.
## Risks
The account handle becomes part of a directory path and secret name. The
strict allowlist and root containment check reduce path traversal risk.
Existing single-account homes remain unchanged unless a new device login
creates an account-specific home.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 (exact runtime model ID: gpt-5), with tool use and code
execution. The runtime context window is not exposed in this run.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for agents that perform work.
> - Paperclip Runner connects durable provider sessions to individual
task runs through PRP.
> - Provider continuity and per-run authority are different lifetimes.
> - The existing implementation mixed those lifetimes and lost event
metadata between provider frames, runnerd, persistence, API
sanitization, and the task thread.
> - That caused failed continuation, missing progress and Plans,
duplicate replies, hidden failures, and unsafe recovery.
> - This repair gives every heartbeat fresh authority, preserves
qualified provider-session continuity, and restores one lossless
presentation path without changing direct adapters.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A second native heartbeat could reuse tickets, leases, command receipts,
sequence state, and run identity from the first heartbeat. Provider
phase and item identity could be lost before the UI read them. Redaction
could corrupt protocol discriminators while still missing malformed
credential tails. The task thread could fold progress into the final
response, hide failures, or show more than one final answer. Native
Codex also exposed approval modes that do not yet have a durable
approval bridge.
**Expected behavior**
Each heartbeat uses a new PRP authority epoch. Codex and OpenCode
preserve exact qualified provider sessions; ACPX emits an explicit
continuity event when its qualified process-replacement policy is used.
Every accepted provider event is presented, classified as internal, or
surfaced as unsupported. The task page shows chronological progress,
reasoning summaries, activity, Plans, interactions, terminal failures,
and exactly one final reply. Direct adapters retain their existing path.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Enable the unified experimental Paperclip Runner setting.
2. Create a local native Codex, OpenCode, ACPX Claude, or ACPX Codex
agent.
3. Run response, Plan, structured-question/resume, restart,
cancellation, and failure scenarios.
4. Reload the task while active, waiting, failed, and settled.
5. On the old implementation, observe stale run authority, missing
classifications, incomplete output, or duplicated/folded replies.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The repair is based directly on `master` at
`87d05e194b643810d16d20612115acd01d735d43`.
**Deployment mode**
Local development with the embedded database.
Related work: Refs #12616, #12646, #12666, #12685, and #12700.
## What Changed
- Rotates PRP control-plane, outbox, ticket, lease, command, receipt,
and sequence authority for each heartbeat while carrying forward only a
validated provider-session identity.
- Reads `control-plane-state.json`, validates both durable schemas and
lifecycle values, resumes coherent current runs, archives qualified
settled authority, and quarantines malformed or mismatched scoped state
without moving ambiguous live legacy state.
- Preserves Codex provider phase and stable item identities so
commentary remains progress and only `final_answer` becomes final.
- Adds raw OpenCode HTTP/SSE boundary coverage and canonical reasoning
lifecycle mapping.
- Makes ACPX normalization lossless for visible reasoning, tool
lifecycle metadata, stable bounded identities, Plan revisions,
structured requests, failures, and qualified process replacement. Only
the compatible terminal assistant message is promoted as final.
- Applies schema-aware redaction before generic JWT-shaped detection and
scans every diagnostic string leaf. Malformed raw/escaped quoted
credential tails are redacted in both server and durable Rust state.
- Restores snapshot-style chronological task presentation, expandable
tool activity, inline Plan cards, visible waiting/resume/cancel/failure
states, and exactly one final answer.
- Makes `never` the only qualified native Codex permission mode and
rejects unsupported persisted native modes with remediation. OpenCode
and ACPX policies remain intact.
- Keeps the unified experimental Runner setting as the only enablement
flag. Onboarding and direct Codex, Claude, and OpenCode stay on their
legacy execution/finalization paths.
- Adds cross-language goldens, authority/recovery/fault coverage, exact
response/count assertions, and native plus legacy acceptance scenarios.
## Verification
- Pull-request GitHub Actions run Rust formatting/tests, TypeScript
checks, server/UI tests, builds, protocol drift checks, browser E2E, and
security scans.
- A separate workflow-only validation ref is pinned directly on this PR
head and runs the 35-cell paid local matrix: three core scenarios plus
structured-question resume and restart/resume for native Codex, native
OpenCode, ACPX Claude, ACPX Codex, and direct Codex/Claude/OpenCode.
Run: https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33682434315
- Acceptance requires exact single visible replies, monotonic sequences,
matching envelope discriminators, one semantic terminal, one run
terminal, no unresolved interaction, no duplicate mutation, no secret
leakage, provider continuity, and zero native rows for direct adapters.
- Per maintainer direction, tests are running in GitHub Actions rather
than on the slower local host. Only formatters and static diff checks
were run locally.
## Risks
- Recovery from old or partial filesystem state is sensitive. The repair
fails closed, preserves active or unverifiable authority, and
quarantines only state whose scoped ownership is safe to move.
- Provider event formats can change. Closed validators and boundary
goldens turn new or malformed events into visible diagnostics instead of
silent drops.
- Shared task presentation could affect direct adapters. Runtime-fact
gating plus the direct-adapter matrix protect the existing path.
- Managed and remote providers are not qualified here. Shared code
continues to compile and fail safely, but live qualification is
deferred.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for AI-agent companies.
> - Agent outputs must remain visible after a run and easy to inspect
from a task.
> - The thread and artifact inventory need one consistent rich-card
vocabulary.
> - Run uploads also need durable artifact registration and
producing-run context.
> - Reviewers need deterministic examples for each rich-card kind and
state.
> - This pull request adds the shared presentation, registration,
inventory, and Storybook review coverage.

without seeded data.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This change improves work-product presentation in task threads and the
task Artifacts tab.
**Subsystem affected**
The change affects shared work-product contracts, the runner diff path,
server attachment and work-product services, GitHub metadata refresh,
the React board UI, and Storybook.
**Current behavior**
The thread used generic cards. Some files uploaded by a run existed only
as message attachments. The Artifacts tab showed a flat list without run
context or filters. Storybook showed only one resting card per kind.
**Proposed behavior**
The thread uses rich cards for supported work-product types. Each
run-produced file registers one attachment-backed artifact work product.
The Artifacts tab groups outputs by run and supports filters. Storybook
shows every kind and requested state, PR lifecycle states, stats
variants, truncation, mobile layout, and message-tail media.
**Reason and benefit**
Users can identify outputs quickly. Reviewers can inspect all card
permutations without creating task data.
**Breaking changes**
None. The metadata fields and automatic artifact registration are
additive. Existing attachments and work products keep their current
behavior.
## What Changed
- Added a shared rich work-product card with kind-specific content and a
compact inventory variant.
- Added pull-request and commit diff metadata plus bounded GitHub state
refresh.
- Added media strips and typed file chips to message-tail attachments.
- Registered each run-produced attachment as an artifact work product in
the same server transaction.
- Grouped task artifacts by run with agent and timestamp headings.
- Added type and run filters, image thumbnails, compact cards, and a
company Artifacts link.
- Added a Storybook kind-by-state matrix with stats variants for all
eight visual kinds.
- Added PR open, draft, merged, and closed examples, long-title
truncation, an exact 375-pixel viewport, and message-tail overflow
coverage.
- Closed reconciled runtime work products when the linked runtime stops
or disappears, so the card shows `Stopped` instead of `Unhealthy`.
### Screenshots
Before: one resting card per kind.

## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- `pnpm build-storybook` passed.

- Chromium visual checks passed at desktop and 375-pixel widths.
- All 30 latest-head GitHub checks passed. One unrelated annotation test
was flaky and passed on its single retry.
- Greptile passed at 5/5 with zero unresolved threads.
## Risks
- Low risk. The Storybook change adds review fixtures only. The runtime
fix changes read-time reconciliation without database writes.
- The matrix is intentionally large so every permutation stays visible
in one review surface.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Apps subsystem gives humans and agents governed access to
external tools.
> - The current connection flow hides Apps behind an experimental gate
and repeats setup text.
> - Google sharing choices and generic MCP permissions do not use one
consistent opening model.
> - Self-hosted installs also need a safe default origin for managed
OAuth without a manual config file.
> - This pull request makes Apps available, simplifies connection setup,
and applies one governed permissions model.
> - The benefit is a shorter connection flow that works on a clean
self-hosted install.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This improves the Apps connection setup flow, managed Google connection
flow, generic MCP connection flow, navigation, and runtime origin
discovery.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This changes `ui/`, `server/`, `packages/shared/`,
connector documentation, and browser tests.
**Current behavior**
Apps require an experimental switch. Setup pages repeat titles and
explanatory copy. Connection names require manual input. Google
credential sharing does not always offer both personal and organization
access. Generic MCP providers do not start with the same permission
choices. Managed OAuth needs a public URL setting even when the request
already has a safe HTTPS origin.
**Proposed behavior**
Apps are available by default. Setup asks only for required permissions
and sharing choices. Paperclip creates conflict-free connection names.
Google apps and generic MCP providers use the same human and agent
access model. Managed OAuth derives a validated same-origin HTTPS URL
when no explicit public URL is set.
**Reason and benefit**
A clean self-hosted install can connect a managed Google app without
hidden setup. Humans can share a service account with their
organization. The shorter flow reduces duplicated choices and setup
errors.
**Breaking changes**
The Apps experimental switch is removed. Existing connection APIs remain
compatible. New connections can receive a numeric suffix when a name
already exists.
No duplicate or related public issue was found.
## What Changed
- Removed the Apps experimental gate and the breadcrumb that leaves the
Apps section.
- Simplified all connection setup pages and moved optional provider
requirements into one small link.
- Added consistent human and agent access choices for Google apps,
Zapier, and generic MCP connections.
- Added organization sharing to Google Workspace credentials while
keeping personal access available.
- Generated connection names automatically and resolved name conflicts
with numeric suffixes.
- Derived a validated public HTTPS origin from the request for
config-free managed OAuth.
- Updated connector contracts, tests, browser coverage, and authoring
documentation.
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/generic-mcp-connection.test.ts` (273 passed)
- Targeted UI/service regression suite (308 passed)
- Six targeted Playwright connection journeys on a fresh onboarding
instance (6 passed)
- Fresh-install browser proof through Tailscale HTTPS: enrolled with
Paperclip Cloud, connected managed Google Drive, and completed a real
read operation.
- [Exact-head CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33669760711):
all 23 matrix jobs passed, including build, typecheck, server,
serialized, canary, and all browser shards.
- Greptile 5/5 on `0ae2a859f269984ee950d0af231a5b09a06f3dfd`, with no
unresolved review threads.
## Risks
Apps are now visible to all operators. The removed experimental flag no
longer hides unfinished app definitions. Managed Google availability
still depends on the Cloud profile rollout and active instance
enrollment. Automatic conflict handling changes only the display name of
a newly conflicting connection.
> I checked [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md). MCP Tool Gateway and Apps are
shipped. Connected Apps is planned, and this change improves the
existing shipped connection flow.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app that people use to manage AI agents
for work.
> - Instance settings control optional product features and developer
tools.
> - The experimental settings page mixed active experiments, internal
tools, and old recovery controls.
> - Some workspace links also used the selected company instead of the
workspace owner.
> - These problems made settings hard to scan and could send users to

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Runner is an experimental execution adapter.
> - The adapter and its required sandbox ingress had separate settings.
> - A user could enable one setting and still have an unusable runner
configuration.

each run.
> - This pull request uses that runtime decision for ingress
authorization.
> - The benefit is one clear opt-in with safe recovery for existing
native runs.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This improves the experimental settings and transport authorization for
Paperclip Runner.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This change affects the React settings UI, shared
settings contracts, adapter utilities, and server runtime selection.
**Current behavior**
Settings shows separate Paperclip Runner and Runner Preview Ingress
controls. A user can enable the runner but leave required sandbox
ingress disabled.
**Proposed behavior**
Settings shows only Paperclip Runner. Its native runtime decision also
authorizes provider WebSocket ingress when the execution target requires
it. A persisted native run keeps its recovery transport after the
setting is disabled.
**Reason and benefit**
Paperclip Runner is one experimental capability. One opt-in removes an
invalid partial configuration and makes the rollout boundary easier to
understand.
**Breaking changes**
The Runner Preview Ingress card is removed. The old
`enableRunnerPreviewIngress` key remains accepted in stored settings and
managed configuration, but it has no server runtime effect. The public
adapter-utils input remains compatible through a deprecated alias.
**Additional context**
Refs: #12638, #12641, #12656.
## What Changed
- Removed the separate Runner Preview Ingress card from Experimental
Settings.
- Made resolved native runtime selection authorize required provider
ingress.
- Preserved ingress recovery for persisted native runs after the rollout
flag is disabled.
- Kept the old settings key and adapter-utils input as deprecated
compatibility contracts.
- Added focused UI, runtime policy, transport, stored-settings, and
managed-config regression tests.
- Updated deployment documentation and feature descriptions.
## Verification
- GitHub Actions will run typecheck, tests, build, policy, and browser
shards.
- Focused tests cover the single settings control, runtime
authorization, fail-closed transport selection, the deprecated public
input, and old managed configuration.
- No local tests were run, per the maintainer request to use GitHub
Actions for verification.
- `git diff --check` passes.
## Risks
Low to moderate risk. The effective ingress gate changes from a separate
stored flag to the resolved native run decision. Fresh runs still
require `enableNativeRunner`. Persisted native runs remain recoverable.
Legacy adapters never receive ingress authorization.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12640.
Refs #12616.
Refs #12352.
**Subsystem affected**
Agent configuration, instance experimental settings, run ledger,
provider trace inspector, and administrator actions.
**Problem or motivation**
The native runner lacks one safe operator surface for Codex permissions,
lifecycle, raw trace capture, and run inspection. The integration branch
also contains provider choices that the production backend cannot
execute yet.
**Proposed solution**
Expose only the qualified Codex controls. Keep Paperclip Developer Mode
and runner preview ingress off by default. Gate raw trace actions by
administrator access and existing trace authorization.
**Alternatives considered**
Exposing unfinished providers would create configurations that fail at
runtime. Always-on tracing would increase sensitive data and storage
risk.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports governed Cloud and Sandbox agents and production
diagnostics.
## Stack
- Base PR: #12640.
- Lower PRs: #12639 and #12638.
- This PR contains only its 54-file administration and observability
delta.
- This is the final feature PR in the Codex production stack.
## What Changed
- Added Codex-only Paperclip Runner permission and lifecycle controls.
- Added bounded warm idle configuration.
- Kept the provider field fixed to Codex.
- Added administrator-only one-run raw trace requests.
- Added a persistent future-run raw trace toggle.
- Added trace status, metadata, ledger, and canonical runner inspection.
- Added JSON-RPC request-origin grouping and finalization lineage.
- Restored the stateful PRP transcript parser and focused projection
tests required by trace inspection.
- Added default-off Paperclip Developer Mode.
- Added Honeycomb run links for authorized developer mode.
- Disabled the legacy operational skill for `paperclip_runner`.
- Did not expose OpenCode, ACPX, Pi, Claude Managed, or AWS runner
choices.
- Did not change migrations, workflows, dependencies, or
`pnpm-lock.yaml`.
## Verification
- GitHub Actions will run UI tests, server tests, repository typecheck,
build, browser tests, security, and policy gates.
- Tests cover Codex configuration defaults and bounds, administrator
trace actions, persistent settings, ledger inspection, trace lineage,
and Honeycomb links.
- Existing server trace authorization and retention tests remain the
backend authority.
- Local tests were not run. The requested verification policy uses
GitHub Actions for this series.
- `git diff --check runner/task-workspace-experience...HEAD` passes.
- The delta contains 54 files.
## Risks
- Raw provider traces can contain sensitive provider data.
- Existing server authorization controls access, reveal, download,
retention, and deletion.
- The UI gates trace actions by administrator access and developer mode.
- All new instance settings remain off by default.
- Fresh Paperclip Runner configuration remains Codex-only.
- Direct adapters and legacy task behavior do not change in this PR.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12616.
Refs #12352.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This change touches runner transport, server
orchestration, plugin contracts, and shared settings.
**Problem or motivation**
Native execution cannot resolve an authenticated runner ingress through
a remote environment. The server also lacks one provider-neutral
contract for remote execution targets.
**Proposed solution**
Add a default-off runner preview ingress capability. Add
transport-neutral runner connectivity. Add remote execution target and
lifecycle handling. Add a Daytona ingress implementation with redacted
credentials.
**Alternatives considered**
A provider-specific server path would duplicate orchestration and
authorization. A public endpoint without an environment contract would
weaken the trust boundary.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports the Cloud and Sandbox agents milestone. It also
supports self-healing runs and governed tool access.
## What Changed
- Added execution-target traits for local, SSH, and sandbox
environments.
- Added plugin RPC contracts for runner ingress endpoints.
- Added authenticated Daytona preview ingress.
- Added transport-neutral PRP outbound connections.
- Added remote runner artifact verification and fail-closed provider
selection.
- Added bounded native session resume, cancellation, and lifecycle
recovery.
- Preserved Codex-only selection for fresh experimental runner starts.
- Preserved all direct adapter execution and finalization paths.
- Removed stale Pi provider-pack requirements that security review
rejected.
- Kept the rollout controls off by default.
- Did not change pnpm-lock.yaml, Cargo, database migrations, or GitHub
workflows.
## Verification
- GitHub Actions will run the repository test, typecheck, build,
security, and policy gates.
- Focused tests cover ingress validation, redaction, execution targets,
remote lifecycle, cancellation, resume, and legacy adapter selection.
- Local tests were not run. The requested verification policy uses
GitHub Actions for this series.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` passes.
- The diff contains 52 files.
## Risks
- Remote execution crosses a trust boundary.
- The implementation validates target capabilities, artifact digests,
provider-pack pins, and connection metadata.
- The feature remains default-off.
- Fresh native selection remains Codex-only.
- Existing direct adapters remain on the legacy path.
- This PR does not yet make remote Codex runnable. The next PR adds the
Rust WSS and TLS transport.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5.6. The work used high-reasoning agent mode,
repository tools, GitHub tools, and parallel code-audit agents.

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

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The experimental Paperclip Runner can execute a guarded Codex run
and persist provider-neutral events.
> - The task page still reads direct-adapter transcripts and cannot
present those native events.
> - Structured runner questions must also use the existing task
interaction experience.
> - Runtime selection must use the persisted run mode, not an adapter
name or a current feature flag.
> - This pull request projects native events and questions into the
existing task thread.
> - Direct adapters keep their existing transcript, composer,
interaction, and finalization paths.
> - The benefit is a complete native Codex task thread without a
behavior change for existing adapters.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12202. This pull request replaces that stale implementation on
current `master`.
**What happened?**
The server persists native runner events and structured input requests.
The task page only consumes direct-adapter transcripts. A native run
therefore cannot present a complete transcript, usage, or question flow
through the normal task experience.
**Expected behavior**
Native runs project persisted provider-neutral events into the existing
task thread. Native structured questions use the existing interaction
card. Direct adapters retain their current behavior.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Enable the experimental runner.
2. Start a native Codex run that emits progress, usage, a structured
question, and a final reply.
3. Open the task page.
4. Observe that the direct-adapter transcript path cannot project the
native event records.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `67f9867bc`.
## What Changed
- Add the canonical structured-question validator and shared contract
exports.
- Materialize native input requests as existing task interactions.
- Validate native answers and deliver them through the durable
question-response receipt.
- Resume the original PRP request with an idempotent `request.resolve`
command.
- Project native messages, tool activity, cumulative usage, and final
replies into the existing transcript model.
- Propagate persisted `runtimeMode` to the task page and select native
handling only for `runtimeMode: "native"`.
- Expire pending interactions through the shared issue service on every
terminal transition, including decisions, stalled reviews, tree control,
and pipeline retry cleanup.
- Queue native run cancellation while a transaction is open and execute
it only after the owning transaction commits.
- Keep nonterminal and non-runner issue paths on their existing service
call shapes and behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed, including the
Rust runner release build and protocol/catalog drift gates.
- Focused native-thread and lifecycle suites — 18 files and 481 tests
passed during review.
- `issue-execution-policy-routes.test.ts` — 19/19 passed after the final
transactional-queue expectation update.
- `issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts` — 87/87 passed in the
final isolated compatibility rerun.
- GitHub Actions — policy, build, canary, typecheck/release registry, 5
serialized server shards, 8 general-test shards, 3 browser shards, and
both aggregate gates passed on `7793f3193`.
- Security — Snyk, Socket Project Report, Socket PR Alerts, and
Superagent passed.
- Greptile — 5/5 on `7793f3193`; all actionable review threads resolved.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
- Diff against `master`: 44 files.
## Compatibility Boundary
- Native transcript polling only runs when the persisted run reports
`runtimeMode: "native"`.
- Missing or legacy runtime modes continue through
`useLiveRunTranscripts`.
- Legacy questions keep the existing optional free-text choice.
- Native closed select sets can suppress that legacy fallback.
- Terminal cleanup uses the same issue service for native and legacy
interactions; only a bound native question schedules a native run
cancellation.
- Native cancellation happens after transaction commit, so failed or
rolled-back writes do not cancel a still-valid run.
- The durable delivery service checks the original native request before
it considers a continuation run.
- This pull request adds no migration, dependency, workflow, manifest,
or lockfile change.
## Risks
The main risk is routing a direct-adapter task through native handling
or changing terminal issue behavior. The implementation selects the
native path only from persisted runtime facts, retains the existing
nonterminal call shape, and schedules native cancellation only for a
validated bound native question after commit. Focused and
repository-wide tests cover both paths. Native requests remain bound to
the company, issue, run, and agent; answers are validated, durable, and
idempotent across reconnects.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 family. The client does not expose the exact
deployment ID or context window. Agentic reasoning, tool use, and code
execution were enabled.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11965
This is stack 10 of 11. It depends on stack 9 and preserves the final
catalog work recovered from #11965.
Related: #5904 covers Shopify skill routing. This pull request covers
the Apps connection contract instead.
## What Changed
- Update Postman hosted MCP methods, capability choices, default
selection, and bearer-token placement.
- Add Shopify UCP commerce and Storefront compatibility methods with
public-store prerequisites.
- Inject the reviewed Shopify UCP agent profile at runtime and remove
that managed field from user input schemas.
- Classify Shopify checkout completion and cancellation as destructive
actions.
- Expand the connection authoring runbook from provider research through
verification and pull request handoff.
- Add focused shared, server, and UI coverage.
- Make the approved-execution waiter phase-aware so slow preparation
cannot consume the provider execution timeout and grace period.
- Settle legacy pre-execute-on-approve requests and invocations as
failed, clear their stale idempotency key, and allow a fresh governed
approval instead of leaving work stuck in `executing`.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/app-definitions.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts

- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/tool-gateway.test.ts -t
"enforces policy, approvals, retries, rate limits, and company

legacy approval settlement and fresh-approval recovery)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
## Risks
- Shopify UCP calls now include a Paperclip-managed agent profile that
overrides caller input at the same path.
- Postman EU credentials now use the hosted MCP server's bearer-token
contract instead of the general REST API header.
- The catalog generator and checked-in definitions change together to
prevent regeneration drift.
- Approved execution preparation has an explicit two-minute bound;
provider execution retains its own 65-second timeout and persistence
grace starting from durable provider start.
- Legacy approvals created before execute-on-approve are intentionally
terminalized and must be requested again under the current signed
contract.
> I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This provider update does not duplicate
planned core work. The related open Shopify PR addresses skill routing,
not Apps connections.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Connection intents need secure provider implementations to complete
setup.
> - Some providers use managed OAuth or external credential brokers.
> - Those tokens must stay out of durable Paperclip state and fail
closed when refresh fails.
> - This pull request adds managed connector backends and the required
storage contract.
> - The benefit is safer provider setup with governed credential
lifecycles.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11965
This is stack 8 of 11. It depends on stack 7 and replaces another
reviewable part of #11965.
## What Changed
- Add managed Google Workspace and external connector backends.
- Add Vercel Connect support without storing provider bearer tokens.
- Add replay-safe migration 0232 and its generated snapshot.
- Fail closed and clear stale token bindings when organization OAuth
refresh needs reauthorization.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts`
- Result: 194 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/services/remote-url-credentials.test.ts` (5 passed, including
URL userinfo vault extraction)
## Risks
- Broker metadata errors can block provider setup.
- OAuth refresh failure disables the shared organization connection
until reauthorization.
- Migration 0232 is generated, ordered after 0231, and safe to replay.
> I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This stack continues the existing app
connection work from #11965 and does not duplicate another planned item.

This is stack 7 of 11. It depends on stack 6 and replaces another
reviewable part of #11965.
## What Changed
- Add connection intent types, validation, service logic, and routes.
- Add agent runtime tools and CLI support for connection requests.
- Add issue-thread interaction support for connection intents.
- Add runtime, route, adapter, and contract tests.
- Hold the final resolved-continuation row lock through asynchronous
adapter preparation until an actual process spawn, so parking or
reassignment cannot cross that boundary.
- Report Hermes Gateway's first remote run request through the shared
dispatch hook so the resolved-intent lock is released at the true
dispatch boundary.
- Revalidate the addressed user's live non-viewer membership and
connection-management authority for every intent mutation, including
OAuth completion.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts`
- Result: 176 tests passed.
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-stale-queue-invalidation.test.ts` (32 passed;
includes non-process dispatch lock-release coverage)
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/connection-intents-service.test.ts -t
"addressed-user mutation"` (1 passed)
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts -t "binds OAuth
callback completion to the initiating board session"` (1 passed)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/hermes-paperclip-adapter test --
src/gateway/server/execute.test.ts` (23 passed; includes dispatch-hook
ordering and exactly-once coverage)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/hermes-paperclip-adapter typecheck`
## Risks
- A malformed intent could create an unusable operator request.
- Validators and company checks reject invalid or cross-company
requests.
- The final continuation gate holds the issue row lock through adapter
preparation until process or remote dispatch; later operator changes use
the normal active-run interruption path.
- The change does not add a database migration.
> I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This stack continues the existing app
connection work from #11965 and does not duplicate another planned item.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5. The runtime model ID and context window were not
exposed. The model used reasoning, tool use, and code execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A useful app store needs accurate and selectable provider
definitions.
> - Local brand assets now cover the expanded provider set.
> - Provider methods differ in transport, authentication, ownership, and
required scope.
> - This pull request expands the catalog and encodes those provider
contracts.
> - The benefit is a larger self-serve store with explicit setup
choices.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11965
This is stack 6 of 11. It depends on stack 5 and replaces another
reviewable part of #11965.
## What Changed
- Add and update provider definitions for the self-serve catalog.
- Add Google Workspace connection methods and capability profiles.
- Add catalog generation, ingestion, URL matching, and contract tests.
- Update legacy key tests to use a provider that still uses header
credentials.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts`
- Result: 164 tests passed.
- `pnpm build`
## Risks
- An incorrect provider definition can offer the wrong setup method.
- Contract tests verify transport, authentication, and provider URL
behavior.
- The change does not add a database migration.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - App connections need both direct providers and managed provider
hubs.
> - The grant layer now defines safe credential ownership.
> - Composio needs parent and child connection lifecycle rules, and
Gmail needs governed setup.
> - This pull request adds both connector families on the grant
foundation.
> - The benefit is broader app access without weakening credential
isolation.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11965
This is stack 4 of 11. It depends on stack 3 and replaces another
reviewable part of #11965.
## What Changed
- Add Composio parent and child connection support.
- Add Gmail connection setup and governance.
- Preserve credential paths and remove duplicate binding declarations.
- Cascade Composio pause and restore actions to child connections.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run

- Result: 164 tests passed.
- `pnpm build`
## Risks
- Parent lifecycle changes can affect every Composio child.
- The service restores only children whose provider accounts remain
active.
- Credential binding paths are normalized before secret resolution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - External tools need explicit identity and access boundaries.
> - Shared connection credentials cannot represent every user-scoped use
case.
> - Grants must stay company-scoped and support safe delegation.
> - This pull request adds connection grants, identity rules, and their
database contract.
> - The benefit is durable control over which identity an agent may use.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11965
This is stack 3 of 11. It depends on stack 2 and replaces another
reviewable part of #11965.
## What Changed
- Add company and user connection grants.
- Add delegated identity and membership rules.
- Synchronize database, shared, server, and UI contracts.
- Register the grant-member replacement route in the OpenAPI surface in
the same layer that mounts it.
- Add migration 0231 with replay-safe guards and coverage.
## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`
- `pnpm build`
## Risks
- Incorrect grant selection could expose the wrong credential scope.
- The service enforces company and subject boundaries before credential
use.
- Migration 0231 is generated, ordered after 0230, and safe to replay.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11965
This is stack 2 of 11. It depends on stack 1 and replaces another
reviewable part of #11965.
## What Changed
- Improve remote tool gateway connection behavior.
- Add clearer app setup, test, and recovery states.
- Add focused server and UI tests for the new paths.
- Keep the diff isolated from later identity and catalog work.
- Stabilize DNS-pinned remote HTTP protocol fixtures and the
managed-runtime public-origin fixture for this independently tested
layer.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts` (150 passed)
- `pnpm test:run`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm build`
## Risks
- Gateway errors now surface through new user-facing states.
- A stale connection can require a new setup attempt.
- The change does not add a database migration.
- The injected HTTP transport and public URL are test-only fixtures;
production DNS pinning and runtime behavior are unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11965
This is stack 1 of 11. It replaces the first reviewable part of #11965.
## What Changed
- Add guarded remote MCP setup and credential handling.
- Add PostHog OAuth and API key connection methods.
- Add focused server, shared contract, and UI coverage.
- Keep the migration replay-safe and idempotent.
- Give the late-close security regression the same 10-second CI headroom
as the adjacent real-timer handshake test.
- Synchronize fake-timer handshake tests at the exact ensure-session
boundary so real filesystem setup cannot race the fake deadline.
- Drive PTY overflow coverage only after listener registration so
scheduling cannot reorder the test fixture.
## Verification
- pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/plugin-worker-manager.test.ts (220 passed; affected
cases also passed five focused stress repetitions)
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts -t "never leaks a
sandbox-provided value from a late close rejection into logs or the
result"` (1 passed)
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts -t "never
promotes a late ensureSession resolution|closes a late-resolving real
handle exactly once"` (2 passed)
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`
- `pnpm build`
## Risks
- Remote endpoint validation can reject configurations that previously
passed without checks.
- OAuth configuration errors can block setup until the operator corrects
the provider settings.
- The migration uses guarded statements so repeated execution is safe.
- The test-only synchronization changes do not affect runtime behavior;
they remove filesystem/fake-clock and listener-registration races
observed under parallel CI load.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server admits agent work through heartbeat scheduling and
execution paths
> - Operators need to stop new work before maintenance or a graceful
shutdown
> - A process restart alone does not provide a reusable admission
control primitive
> - This pull request adds an instance API that holds new task admission
and reports process quiescence
> - The benefit is a small, auditable control that lets operators wait
for active work without a restart
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Problem or motivation**
Operators cannot hold new task admission without restarting the
Paperclip process. A restart can interrupt maintenance flows and does
not provide a status signal for active work.
**Proposed solution**
Add `GET /instance/task-drain`, `POST /instance/task-drain`, and `DELETE
/instance/task-drain`. The server keeps the drain state in process
memory, applies it to every scheduling suppression path, supports an
optional TTL up to 24 hours, and reports active wake and run counts.
**Alternatives considered**
A timer would clear the drain after its TTL, but it could keep the
Node.js event loop open during shutdown. A database row would add
storage and query work for process-local state. The implementation uses
lazy expiry and process memory instead.
**Roadmap alignment**
The change supports the roadmap goal for enforced outcomes and safe
recovery actions. It does not duplicate a listed roadmap item.
**Additional context**
This is a server and shared-package change. It adds no user interface
and no database migration.
## What Changed
- Add process-local task-drain state with lazy TTL expiry.
- Add task-drain admission suppression to the shared heartbeat resolver.
- Add instance routes to read, start, and stop a task drain.
- Add validation for positive TTL values and the shared 24-hour maximum.
- Add activity records for drain mutations and tests for status, access
control, validation, and suppression.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-task-drain.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-scheduling-suppression.test.ts`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared exec tsc --noEmit`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit` and compare
its known pre-existing errors with the base commit.
- Confirm that pull request CI reaches a terminal green state.
## Risks
The drain state exists only in process memory, so a restart clears it.
This behavior matches the process-local design. A drain without a TTL
remains active until an operator calls the delete route. The status
route reads in-memory activity sets and does not query stale database
rows.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, extended reasoning with tool use and code
execution. The exact runtime context window is not exposed by the
execution environment.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - New organizations create their first agent through the onboarding
wizard
> - The wizard does not show provider sign-in when a host credential is
absent or unknown
> - The create step also gives unclear feedback when the provider needs
authentication
> - This pull request adds a safe auth signal and a provider sign-in
step for sandbox drivers
> - The benefit is a clearer onboarding path with no token or account
data in the signal
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (server API, shared types, and UI)
**Problem or motivation**
The onboarding wizard can fail when the selected provider needs
authentication. It does not tell the person how to complete sign-in.
**Proposed solution**
Add a status-only provider auth signal. Show the sign-in panel for
sandbox drivers when the signal says `absent` or `unknown`. Apply a
stored Claude login to the new agent and block creation when the adapter
test reports missing authentication.
**Alternatives considered**
The wizard could hide the sign-in panel when the signal read fails. This
would hide a needed action, so this pull request shows the panel when
the signal is unknown.
**Roadmap alignment**
The change supports the roadmap goal for scoped and audited credential
bindings.
**Additional context**
The auth signal returns only `present`, `absent`, or `unknown`. It never
returns a token, identifier, or account name.
## What Changed
- Add `GET /api/companies/:companyId/adapters/:type/auth-signal` with
company and permission checks.
- Add shared auth-signal types and the UI query path.
- Apply a stored Claude login by reference without reading its token.
- Show the provider sign-in panel only for sandbox drivers with
interactive terminal support.
- Block agent creation when the provider test reports missing
authentication.
- Add route, wizard, and end-to-end test coverage.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server test adapter-auth-signal-routes`
passes 50 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui test OnboardingWizard` passes 69 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec tsc --noEmit` exits with code 0.
- The `e2e_shards` lane runs `tests/e2e/onboarding.spec.ts`.
## Risks
The route reads a host-local readiness signal. It returns `unknown` on
read errors and never exposes credential data. The UI may add a sign-in
step when the signal is unavailable.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, extended reasoning, tool use, and code execution.
The exact context window was not provided.

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

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

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

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

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

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

deployment ID or context window. Agentic reasoning, tool use, and code

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11962
Refs #12111
Refs #12169
Refs #12176
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. The change affects the runner package, server
orchestration, shared settings, and adapter configuration UI.
**Problem or motivation**
The hidden PRP coordinator cannot execute a real heartbeat. The
application also needs an explicit rollout boundary before it can expose
the experimental runner. Existing direct adapters must keep their
current execution and finalization behavior.
**Proposed solution**
Add `paperclip_runner` as a Codex-only adapter behind the default-off
`enableNativeRunner` instance flag. Select the native runtime only for
that adapter. Persist the run binding before runnerd starts. Wait for
the durable PRP result and terminal event. Resume the real Codex
provider thread on later heartbeats. Keep persisted native runs readable
and recoverable after the flag changes.
**Alternatives considered**
The server could route `codex_local` through runnerd. That option would
change an existing adapter and weaken rollback safety. The server could
expose all providers now. That option would add unreviewed provider
behavior. The build could depend on a prebuilt runner binary. That
option would make source builds architecture-dependent and difficult to
verify.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports the shipped enforced-outcomes, governed-tool, and
self-healing-run milestones. It does not add a new roadmap surface. It
is the guarded execution step after the merged hidden runner boundaries.
**Additional context**
This is the next replacement for the closed large runner pull request.
Task-thread presentation remains a separate follow-up so this change can
preserve the current direct-adapter UI.
## What Changed
- Add `paperclip_runner` as an explicit Codex-only adapter.
- Add the default-off `enableNativeRunner` instance flag.
- Reject fresh create, hire, import, switch, and execution requests
while the flag is off.
- Allow edits to persisted runner agents while the flag is off.
- Recover an already persisted native run even after the flag is
disabled.
- Keep every built-in direct adapter on its existing runtime path.
- Persist an immutable native run binding and revisioned completion
contract before runnerd starts.
- Execute server to PRP to runnerd to Codex to server through the hidden
coordinator.
- Validate the durable result against the terminal event and exact
completion criteria before finalization.
- Preserve the Codex provider thread ID and use `thread/resume` on the
next heartbeat.
- Strip unsupported Codex configuration fields from the experimental
adapter.
- Build a target-native release runner binary from source and vendor it
into the server distribution.
- Install Rust only in the Docker build stage. Do not add a workflow or
lockfile change.
- Stop the runner process group on completion, cancellation, and forced
shutdown.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all`. All 69
TypeScript tests and 58 Rust tests pass. Protocol, conformance, replay,
formatting, and generated-file checks pass.
- Run the 12 focused adapter, settings, runtime-selection, coordinator,
direct-isolation, and real Codex integration test files. All 186 tests
pass.
- The real integration test uses PostgreSQL, HTTP, WebSocket, runnerd,
and a fake Codex app server. It proves one `thread/start` followed by
one `thread/resume`.
- Run `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Run `pnpm build`.
- Run `pnpm check:token-gates`.
- Build the Docker `build` target from a clean context. Confirm that the
server distribution contains an executable `paperclip-runnerd` built
with Debian Rust 1.85.
- Start the server through the source-mode tsx entry point with the
package `dist` directory absent. Confirm the vendor shim resolves source
exports and the server boots.
- Run `pnpm test:run` twice. On this macOS host, 405 files pass and 1
file skips. Eight untouched workspace and loopback tests fail because
macOS resolves `/tmp` and `/var` through `/private` and because
PID-derived test ports exceed 65535. Linux CI must pass the full suite.
- Confirm that the diff contains 52 files. Confirm that it contains no
`.github` or `pnpm-lock.yaml` change.
## Risks
- The feature flag is off by default. A fresh native start fails with a
stable error while the flag is off.
- A persisted native run remains recoverable after the flag changes.
This prevents rollout changes from corrupting recorded work.
- Only local Codex execution is accepted. Other providers and remote
work modes fail closed.
- Existing direct adapters do not start runnerd, create native rows, use
native status arbitration, or enter native finalization.
- The runner receives its one-use bootstrap ticket through the child
environment. The server does not put the ticket in command arguments or
logs.
- The server validates the company, task, agent, run, runner, session,
completion contract, result, and terminal binding before it accepts
completion.
- The build compiles a target-native Rust binary. Cross-platform release
packaging remains a later concern. Source builds and Docker builds
compile for their current target.
- Docker needs enough build memory for the existing server TypeScript
compile. The Docker build stage sets a 4 GB V8 heap limit.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Company import parks every imported agent as a safety default, and
issue assignment wakes are dropped for paused agents
> - The pause was recorded as the generic reason "system" and was almost
invisible: the chat-style task thread showed nothing, the legacy notice

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent runs need durable records so Paperclip can explain results and
final status changes.
> - The current heartbeat tables support direct adapters, but they do
not model native runner evidence.
> - The runner transport and server coordinator must share a strict
finalization contract before they write production data.
> - This pull request adds that contract and its additive database
boundary.
> - It does not select the Paperclip Runner or change any existing
adapter execution path.
> - The benefit is a reviewable persistence layer that preserves all
current behavior and supports later guarded integration.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11962
Refs #12129
## What Changed
- Add native run result, finalization, completion, assessment, status
decision, and status effect tables.
- Add inert native metadata to heartbeat runs and events. Keep `legacy`
as the default runtime mode.
- Bind each evidence relationship to one company, issue, run, contract,
result, assessment, and decision with composite constraints.
- Add a strict `paperclip.native_finalization.v1` shared type and
validator.
- Preserve database functions, triggers, and the unique indexes required
by foreign keys in JavaScript backups.
- Add migration, backup, mixed-owner denial, validator, and
direct-adapter compatibility tests.
- Document the new records and their ownership rules.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Run `pnpm build`.
- Run `pnpm db:generate`. The schema output and migration safety checks
remain current.
- Run
`PAPERCLIP_PSQL_PATH=/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin/psql
pnpm exec vitest run
packages/shared/src/validators/native-finalization.test.ts
packages/db/src/client.test.ts packages/db/src/backup-lib.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-busy.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-comment-wake-batching.test.ts`. All 52
tests pass.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` run completed 4,688 tests. It found 30
existing macOS test-environment failures. A serial rerun with the
canonical `/private/tmp` path reduced those failures to six existing
listener-diagnostics and skill-browser cases. None of those suites use
files in this change.
- The full Linux GitHub Actions matrix passes. This includes all
general-server, serialized-server, workspace, browser, build, typecheck,
canary, and aggregate verification jobs.
- Greptile passes at 5/5. Contributor trust, Superagent, Socket, and
Snyk pass with no finding from this change.
- Storybook visual regression skips by path because this pull request
has no UI or Storybook change.
- Confirm that the diff contains 25 files. Confirm that it contains no
workflow or `pnpm-lock.yaml` changes.
## Risks
- The migration adds tables, columns, indexes, a function, a trigger,
and ownership constraints. It does not remove or rename existing data.
- Composite foreign keys reject mixed-company, mixed-issue, and
mixed-run evidence even when each ID exists.
- The status-version trigger runs only when an issue status changes.
Backup tests confirm that restore retains this trigger and its
dependencies.
- Native source identifiers are unique when present. Legacy event rows
remain unchanged.
- This change does not add a unique run sequence constraint. The later
native writer must allocate its sequence atomically before that
invariant can be safe.
- Existing adapters keep their current execution and finalization paths.
New heartbeat runs default to `legacy` mode.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandbox providers carry agent work through controlled execution
channels
> - The Daytona callback bridge uses a bespoke line-framed protocol over
its duplex channel
> - The bespoke protocol adds framing work and does not use the Node

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Environment runtime drivers provide workspace, lease, and custom
image behavior
> - Runtime code used driver identity checks and several
capability-specific members
> - These checks spread capability rules across the runtime and made new
drivers harder to verify
> - This pull request adds one general capability classifier and one
static driver support table
> - The benefit is one fail-closed capability model that keeps current
behavior and supports future drivers
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Environment runtime capability checks for workspace realization, custom
images, lease capabilities, and duplex authorization.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (multiple of the above)
**Current behavior**
The runtime selects several capability paths from driver identity and
separate capability members. Custom image gates also trust provider
declarations without checking every matching live worker method.
**Proposed behavior**
The runtime uses one general capability classifier and one static
support table. Custom image gates require both the provider declaration
and every matching live worker method. The public capability names
remain unchanged.
**Reason and benefit**
The change keeps capability rules in one place. It removes identity
conditions from runtime consumers and makes unsupported drivers fail
closed.
**Breaking changes**
None. The public names sandboxCapabilities, sandboxProviders, and
EffectiveSandboxCapabilities remain available.
## What Changed
- Add classifyEnvironmentCapabilities and static support definitions for
all four driver families.
- Add resolveCapabilities to every environment runtime driver.
- Move driver traits into environment-driver-traits.ts and migrate
runtime consumers.
- Require provider declarations and matching live worker methods for all
custom image gates.
- Migrate duplex authorization to the general resolver and remove the
dead sandbox-only member.
- Delete the unused resolveEffectiveSandboxCapabilities wrapper and
update its test.
## Verification
- pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
- pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-capability-contract.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-runtime.test.ts — 92 tests pass
- pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-driver-traits.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/general-capability-classifier.test.ts — 12 tests
pass
- pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-custom-images-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target-capabilities.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target-duplex.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target-duplex-kill-switch.test.ts
— 66 tests pass
## Risks
The main risk is a capability gate that denies a valid driver or permits
an invalid driver. The static support matrix, live worker method checks,
and regression tests reduce this risk. No database, public API, or
published type name changes.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, with tool use and code execution. The deployment

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

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

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

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

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

## Model Used

runtime did not expose its exact deployment ID or context window. The

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip runs across the CLI, server, adapters, plugins, CI, and
container images.
> - These surfaces declared different Node.js versions from 20 through
24.
> - A newer `@types/node` major can expose APIs that the supported
runtime does not provide.
> - Node.js 20 is no longer a suitable project baseline, and Node.js 24
is the current LTS line.
> - This pull request sets Node.js 24.11.0 as one repository-wide
baseline, adds a drift check, and gives users actionable startup
guidance when their runtime is too old.
> - The benefit is one clear runtime contract for development, release,
installation, and published packages.

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #338
Related: #9834
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This improves the company settings UI, company export preparation, and
workspace runtime command matching.
**Current behavior**
Company and instance settings use separate navigation and duplicate
pages. Export preparation reads many independent records in sequence.
Preview generation can also build an unused organization image. A
command with a forced loopback bind can fail to match its saved runtime
command.
**Proposed behavior**
Use one settings navigation and put general instance controls on the
company General page. Load independent export data with bounded
concurrency, skip unused preview image work, and load the export page
only when it is needed. Treat the loopback-bound form of a command as
the same runtime command.
**Reason and benefit**
Operators get one clear settings area. Large company exports need fewer
serialized reads. Export previews and initial UI loads do less work.
Hardened runtime services remain linked to their saved command
definitions.
**Breaking changes**
The obsolete instance General URL redirects to the unified settings
page. Access and Heartbeats remain available, and legacy bookmarks keep
their destinations. No API response shape or database schema changes.
## What Changed
- Unified company and instance settings navigation and removed duplicate
instance settings pages.
- Embedded general instance controls in the company General page and
kept access-sensitive navigation behavior.
- Preserved instance Access and Heartbeats controls in the unified
navigation and normalized old bookmarks to those destinations.
- Improved environment and access-state handling when workspace seed
requests overlap.
- Added bounded export reads, a lighter preview path, deferred export
preparation, and lazy export-page loading.
- Matched loopback-bound runtime commands to their saved command
definitions.
- Added focused shared, server, and UI regression tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run <18 changed test files>`: 18 files and 256 tests
passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed all four token gates.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed for all workspace projects.
- `pnpm build`: passed for all workspace projects.
- `pnpm test:run`: tests ran without a reported failure, but the runner
did not close after the server handoff tests. The process closed with
status 0 after an interrupt.
- Focused latest-head route tests: 2 files and 4 tests passed.
- GitHub latest-head checks: all completed without failure.
- Greptile: 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.
## Risks
- Medium risk: settings routes and navigation changed across several
operator roles.
- Medium risk: bounded export concurrency increases simultaneous
database reads. The limits stay below the normal pool size.
- Low risk: runtime command matching accepts only the known Tailscale
HTTPS loopback transformation.
- No migrations are included.

discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex with a GPT-5-family coding model. The runtime does not
expose the exact deployed model ID or context-window size. Reasoning,
tool use, and local code execution were enabled.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is an open source app that manages AI agents for work
> - Paperclip runs agents in local and remote sandbox environments
> - A sandbox needs a bounded channel for commands and asynchronous
input
> - Daytona needs a real pseudo-terminal transport for this channel
> - The sandbox gateway also needs a mode that handles channel loss
safely
> - This pull request adds the Daytona transport and gateway mode behind
a default-off kill switch
> - The benefit is a tested foundation for later transport selection
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (multiple of the above): sandbox providers, plugin SDK,
server settings, and shared types.
**Problem or motivation**
The merged sandbox protocol has no runtime transport for Daytona. The
generated sandbox gateway also has no duplex mode. A later
transport-selection change needs both parts and a safe per-run gate.
**Proposed solution**
Add a Daytona `duplexCommandStream` transport over a raw
pseudo-terminal. Add a generated gateway mode named `duplex_v1`. Add the
`enableSandboxDuplexBridge` setting with a default value of `false`.
Keep transport selection disabled until a later pull request.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep the protocol unused until the transport-selection change. This
would delay provider tests and leave the gateway path without direct
coverage.
**Roadmap alignment**
This change supports the completed Roadmap item for cloud and sandbox
agents. It extends the merged sandbox channel foundation in pull request
#11738.
**Additional context**
The Daytona provider remains an untrusted boundary. Deployments must use
least-privilege provider credentials and provider-side quota controls.
Operators must name an owner for duplex telemetry retention before
rollout.
## What Changed
- Add the Daytona `duplexCommandStream` capability over a raw
pseudo-terminal.
- Add a launch wrapper that disables echo and newline translation for
NDJSON frames.
- Close channels on lease release, destroy, resume of a stopped worker,
and worker shutdown.
- Declare the capability in the Daytona manifest and set
`PLUGIN_VERSION` to `0.1.5`.
- Add the worker-to-host notification sink at `ctx.duplexChannel.data`
and `ctx.duplexChannel.exit`.
- Add the generated sandbox gateway mode
`PAPERCLIP_API_BRIDGE_MODE=duplex_v1`.
- Add channel-loss results of `409 outcome_indeterminate` and `503
bridge_unavailable`.
- Add the per-run setting `enableSandboxDuplexBridge`, with a default
value of `false`.
- Add unit tests, generated-source codec tests, lifecycle tests, and a
credential-gated live Daytona test.
## Verification
- Daytona suite: 185 tests pass.
- Adapter utilities: 754 tests pass and 4 tests skip.
- Plugin SDK: 62 tests pass.
- Shared package: 28 tests pass.
- Server duplex tests pass.
- Shared, plugin SDK, server, and Daytona TypeScript checks pass.
- The live Daytona test passes 3 cases when `DAYTONA_API_KEY` is set.
- The live Daytona test skips 3 cases without `DAYTONA_API_KEY`.
- CI must run the full workspace typecheck, test, and build gates after
PR creation.
## Risks
- The Daytona control plane and pseudo-terminal remain untrusted
boundaries.
- The duplex gateway changes behavior only when the mode and per-run
setting enable it.
- A lost channel fails requests without replay, so callers must handle
indeterminate outcomes.
- The transport-selection change must require both `duplexCommandStream
=== true` and `enableSandboxDuplexBridge === true`.
- The provider credential and quota limits need operator control before
rollout.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (multiple of the above)
**Problem or motivation**
Sandbox command execution needs a persistent host-to-sandbox stream. The
current callback bridge uses a file transport and does not provide this
generic route.
**Proposed solution**
Add a fail-closed provider capability, generic worker protocol messages,
a host-owned bounded route, cross-layer service mediation, and a
versioned newline-delimited frame codec.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep the file transport and add feature-specific commands. This does not
provide one reusable duplex contract or host-owned route bounds.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports the completed Cloud / Sandbox agents roadmap area and
the safe autonomy goal in the product definition.
**Additional context**
The change passed a two-stage security review. The final code review
verdict was approve after fixes for active-stream bounds and
service-layer capability mediation.
## What Changed
- Add the opt-in `duplexCommandStream` provider capability with
fail-closed narrowing.
- Add duplex open, write, stop, and close requests and data and exit
notifications to the plugin worker protocol.
- Add a host-owned route with bounds for chunk size, cumulative bytes,
lifetime, protocol errors, pending requests, and pre-bind buffering.
- Add close acknowledgement handling with worker retirement when the
close remains unconfirmed.
- Wire `openDuplexChannel` through the execution target, runtime
service, and plugin worker.
- Add a versioned frame codec with shared wire-compatibility vectors and
split UTF-8 handling.
## Verification
- `server/src/__tests__/plugin-worker-manager-duplex.test.ts` passes 18
tests.
- `server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target-duplex.test.ts`
passes 11 tests.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/duplex-frame-codec.test.ts` passes 38
tests.
- `server/src/__tests__/sandbox-capability-contract.test.ts` passes 15
tests.
- Setup-token pseudo-terminal regression tests pass 47 tests.
- Server TypeScript check passes.
- Continuous integration will run the full required test, typecheck,
build, and policy checks.
## Risks
- Providers that opt into the capability must implement the complete
worker protocol.
- Route limit defaults can close a stream when a workload exceeds the
configured bounds.
- The capability remains disabled for current providers, so current
production behavior does not change.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 (`gpt-5`), with tool use and code execution. The model
reviewed and prepared this pull request from the supplied implementation
and verification record.

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Model Used
Claude Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5[1m]`), 1M context, extended thinking, tool
use, and code execution produced the main candidate. OpenAI GPT-5
(`gpt-5`) through Codex, with agentic reasoning, tool use, and code
execution, integrated the post-QA fixes and hardened the test gates. The
Codex context-window size was not exposed.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents need scoped secret bindings to use external services safely.
> - Agents could not request an existing secret under a new config name
without an internal secret identifier.
> - Existing binding proposals were only visible in Settings and did not
create an issue-thread approval path.
> - A confirmation card could record acceptance without proving that the
binding was created.
> - This pull request extends the existing secret proposal system with
safe source references and governed issue-thread confirmation cards.
> - The benefit is a one-click flow that creates the binding or shows a
clear failure without exposing secret material.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related prerequisite: #11482.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: server REST APIs, shared interaction contracts, database
proposal schema, and issue-thread UI.
**Problem or motivation**
An agent can need an existing bound secret under a second config name.
The agent cannot safely discover the internal secret identifier. The
existing proposal is also easy for the operator to miss because it only
appears in Settings. A generic confirmation can record acceptance
without executing the binding.
**Proposed solution**
Let an agent create a binding proposal from one of its existing config
paths. Mint a server-owned, human-only confirmation card on the
checked-out issue. Recheck the operator's target-agent permission under
the proposal row lock. Execute the existing proposal transaction after
card acceptance. Store an `executed` or `failed` result on the card.
Render the complete lifecycle in the issue thread and attention
resolver.
**Alternatives considered**
A new alias subsystem would duplicate proposal quotas, expiry,
authorization, and binding synchronization. A text-only issue comment
would not provide a governed action or an execution result. An
agent-supplied card payload would permit metadata smuggling. This change
uses the existing proposal transaction and a server-owned payload
instead.
**Roadmap alignment**
This change extends the completed "Secrets Manager with per-agent
access" roadmap item. It preserves scoped bindings and audited
resolution. The required GitHub search found no other open duplicate
issue or pull request.
## What Changed
- Added safe source-config-path binding proposals and preserved
user-secret ownership checks.
- Added a proposal-to-interaction link and an idempotent database
migration.
- Minted human-only `request_confirmation` cards with server-owned
`secretProposal` metadata.
- Rejected agent-supplied governed metadata and agent addressees.
- Rechecked `agent_config:update` authority under the proposal lock
before execution.
- Recorded `executed` or `failed` results and posted a failure comment
when no binding was created.
- Settled failed accepted proposals atomically and mirrored rejection,
withdrawal, and expiry in both directions.
- Emitted `secret.binding.created` for new agent binding writes.
- Added a dedicated issue-thread card for pending, executed, failed,
rejected, withdrawn, and expired states.
- Showed only the source label, target agent, config path, skeptical
justification, expiry, and safe failure code.
- Replaced resolved attention-query entries immediately with the
stitched server result.
- Added focused server, database, UI, and state-transition tests.
- Added Storybook fixtures for every review state and documented the API
and agent behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
ui/src/components/IssueThreadInteractionCard.test.tsx
ui/src/components/AttentionInteractionResolver.test.ts` — 58 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm build-storybook`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`
- `NODE_ENV=test pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interaction-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/secret-proposals-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/secrets-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/agents-service-secret-bindings.test.ts` — 142
passed.
- `NODE_ENV=test pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db exec vitest run
src/company-secret-proposals-migration.test.ts --silent` — 1 passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm test:run` — server 4,175 passed, UI 4,109 passed; the CLI
AWS-doctor case passes 8/8 with runtime-injected static AWS credential
variables unset.
- `pnpm build`
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD`
## Risks
- Migration `0221` adds one nullable foreign key and one index. It uses
idempotent guards.
- The accept route performs a governed write after it records card
acceptance. A failed write is visible and settles the proposal as
rejected.
- Concurrent proposal and card resolution must use
proposal-before-interaction lock order. A race test covers direct
approval against card rejection.
- The new audit event increases activity rows for newly added agent
bindings. It does not include secret values or fingerprints.
- The card includes only safe proposal metadata. It does not include
secret value, fingerprint, version, or internal secret identifiers.
- The UI uses the stitched resolution result. Focused tests cover
immediate cache replacement and every terminal state.
> This work extends an existing completed roadmap capability. The GitHub
duplicate search returned no other open related work.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex with model ID `gpt-5`. The runtime did not expose its
context-window size. Reasoning, repository tools, code execution,
database integration tests, UI rendering, and GitHub tools were enabled.

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

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

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip runs work through adapters and sandbox providers
> - Providers need a clear contract so the server can use only verified
capabilities
> - A declared capability must not grant a method that the live worker
did not verify
> - This pull request adds manifest declarations and fail-closed
effective capability resolution
> - The benefit is safe provider reuse across execution targets and run
lifecycles
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (multiple of the above)
**Problem or motivation**
Sandbox providers expose different runtime methods. The server needs one
safe capability contract that accounts for provider declarations, worker
verification, and narrowing configuration.
**Proposed solution**
Add strict manifest validation for five sandbox capabilities. Resolve
effective capabilities as the subset of verified, declared, and narrowed
values. Store the result as a frozen execution-target snapshot.
**Alternatives considered**
Trusting the manifest alone could grant methods that the worker does not
support. Trusting only a fixed built-in list would reject valid
third-party providers. The intersection rule keeps the verified runtime
ceiling and supports both provider types.
**Roadmap alignment**
This change supports the ACP run lifecycle track and the sandbox
provider contract work in the current roadmap.
**Additional context**
The legacy `supportsReusableLeases` field remains supported. The nested
capability validator rejects unknown keys. Missing or unavailable
verification resolves all capabilities to `false`.
## What Changed
- Add strict `sandboxCapabilities` manifest validation with legacy
reusable-lease compatibility.
- Carry declarations through the ready-driver projection.
- Add fail-closed effective resolution from verified, declared, and
narrowed capabilities.
- Add narrowing for provider configuration, Kubernetes Job leases, and
Daytona sessions.
- Add a frozen read-only capability snapshot to execution targets.
- Add focused tests and keep existing characterization baselines
covered.
- Add and update sandbox provider capability documentation.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run packages/shared/src/validators/plugin.test.ts`
- `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/plugin-environment-driver-sandbox-capabilities.test.ts`
- `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/sandbox-capability-contract.test.ts`
- `npx vitest run

packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/settlement-characterization.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/composed-run-characterization.test.ts`
- Package typechecks for shared, server, and adapter-utils pass.
- Stage-2 security review suites pass with 28 tests.
## Risks
The resolver fails closed when verification is absent or unavailable.
Providers that rely on undeclared capabilities may see narrower behavior
until they expose verified worker methods. The change does not alter the
existing native-sync guard.

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

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent adapters run ACP sessions and manage runtime, workspace, and
lease resources.
> - Several failure paths left runtime bridges, staged workspaces, or
environment leases active after an error.
> - These leaks reduce run reliability and can leave later runs without
clean resources.
> - This pull request closes the failure paths, applies one teardown
policy, and adds regression tests.
> - The benefit is consistent failure settlement and safer reuse of
agent workspaces and leases.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
ACP runs could leave runtime bridges, staged workspaces, or environment
leases active after failures. Claude and Gemini ACP runs did not restore
the sandbox workspace on teardown. Lease release stopped when one lease
returned an error.
**Expected behavior**
Each ACP failure must return an error result and settle its resources.
Teardown must run each step, release leases independently, and restore
the host workspace when the sandbox ends. Pending cleanup leases must
receive bounded retry attempts.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run an ACP session that fails after runtime creation or during turn
preparation.
2. Run an ACP session that fails during a warm hit or staged runtime
handoff.
3. Run lease cleanup with more than one lease when the first release
returns an error.
4. Inspect the result phase, teardown calls, workspace state, and lease
metadata.
5. Run the regression suites listed in the Verification section.
## What Changed
- Settle every ACP failure after runtime creation with an error result
and one sandbox.startup span closure.
- Close the ACP runtime and remove warm entries after every pre-turn
failure.
- Run all teardown steps, record teardown errors, release staging leases
in finally, and prevent duplicate teardown.
- Dispose staged runtimes after seam failures and remove borrowed staged
entries with identity guards.
- Add fail-open workspace sync-back teardown for Claude and Gemini ACP
adapters.
- Isolate lease release errors and add bounded retry sweeps for stranded
pending_cleanup leases.
- Atomically claim pending_cleanup retries and clamp attempt readers to
keep the five-attempt bound.
- Default absent provider reusableLeases values to false and align the
fake provider with its runtime declaration.
- Add regression tests for engine, adapter, server, and shared
environment behavior.
## Verification
- [x] `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts` — 124 tests
passed.

- [x] Greptile completed with a 5/5 confidence score and no blocking
finding.
## Risks
The engine changes affect failure settlement and teardown order across
ACP runs. The server changes add retry state to existing lease metadata
without a schema migration. The adapter changes restore workspaces after
sandbox execution. Regression tests cover the changed paths. GitHub CI
and Greptile passed for the current head.
> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. This change fixes runtime
reliability and does not duplicate a roadmap feature.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 Codex. The model used tool-based repository inspection,
GitHub operations, and code review support. The runtime does not expose
a context-window value.

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue covers this. The problem is described in-PR,
following the feature template.
**Subsystem affected**
server/ — Express REST API and orchestration services. Also
`packages/db` (one new table) and `packages/shared` (one new validator).
**Problem or motivation**
Paperclip Cloud collects onboarding answers at signup and pushes them to
the tenant stack at activation. The tenant had no route for that
request. It answered 404. Cloud treats a non-2xx as "not yet applied",
so it kept the answers and retried, but the stack itself stayed
unseeded. A customer who had already named their mission, their first
agent and their first task arrived at an empty first-run wizard that
asked for all three again.
**Proposed solution**
Serve `POST /api/companies/:companyId/onboarding-seed`. Validate the
body, apply it to the company, then acknowledge it.
The seed is customer free text, so it is bounded and validated in
`packages/shared` and read from the JSON body only. It is never read
from an `x-paperclip-cloud-*` header. That header set is the trusted
identity envelope: every member is derived server-side from the host
plus verified domain records, and that is exactly what makes it
trustworthy. Mixing user content into it would remove the property. A
test plants a mission on a cloud header and asserts that the body value
wins.
Application reuses the shapes the first-run wizard already produces, so
a seeded stack and a manually onboarded one look the same afterwards:
- The mission becomes the company-level goal. A multi-line mission
splits into a title and a description, as the wizard does.
- The agent becomes the company's first hire. Its free-text role ("Chief
of Staff") lands on `title`. The structural `role` stays `ceo`, which is
what the org chart and the default-instructions lookup read.
- The first task becomes an issue in the Onboarding project, assigned to
that agent.
Cloud retries until it gets a 2xx, and it reads any 2xx as "the tenant
holds this content". So the endpoint is idempotent per `revision`. A new
`company_onboarding_seeds` table records the applied revision together
with the goal, the agent and the issue it produced. A replay of a
revision that already matches is a successful no-op. A later revision —
the customer edited their answers — updates those three rows in place
instead of creating a second agent and a second task. The record is
written last, after every other write has landed, so a partial
application cannot present itself as acknowledged.
Everything is applied before the 200 is sent. This is an ordering
guarantee, not eventual consistency. The tests read the database
immediately after the response, with no waiting and no polling, so a
lazy receiver fails them on a fast machine as well as a slow one. That
matters because the redirect into the tenant dashboard is gated on this
acknowledgement.
**Alternatives considered**
Store the seed and let the tenant UI apply it on first load. Rejected:
the dashboard redirect is gated on the acknowledgement, so a background
apply would let the dashboard open before the agent and the task exist.
The whole point is that it must not.
Reuse `POST /companies/:companyId/agents` and `POST
/companies/:companyId/issues` over HTTP from Cloud. Rejected: it needs
three round trips with no shared idempotency key, and it moves the "did
all of it land?" decision to the caller.
**Roadmap alignment**
This completes an existing Cloud-to-tenant contract. It does not add a
new user-facing surface.
## What Changed
- Add `POST /api/companies/:companyId/onboarding-seed` in
`server/src/routes/onboarding-seed.ts`. It authenticates exactly as
`POST /api/companies/:companyId/logo` does, through
`assertCompanyAccess`.
- Add `server/src/services/onboarding-seed.ts`. It applies the mission,
the agent and the first task, and records the applied revision last.
- Add the `company_onboarding_seeds` table: schema, migration `0216`,
and journal entry. It holds the applied revision and the ids of the
goal, agent and issue the seed produced.
- Add `applyOnboardingSeedSchema` in `packages/shared`. It bounds
mission to 2000, agent name to 80, agent role to 120, task title to 200,
and task details to 2000 — the same limits Cloud enforces before it
sends.
- Mount the router in `server/src/app.ts` and register the path in the
OpenAPI document.
- Add `server/src/__tests__/onboarding-seed-route.test.ts` with 13
tests.
- The seeded agent is created on `claude_local`. This mirrors the
teams-catalog default for agents created server-side, where no human
runs an environment test first. `PAPERCLIP_ONBOARDING_SEED_ADAPTER_TYPE`
overrides it.
## Verification
```sh
pnpm typecheck # whole workspace, passes
npx vitest run \
server/src/__tests__/onboarding-seed-route.test.ts \
server/src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts # 15 passed
```
The suite runs against embedded Postgres with migrations applied, so
migration `0216` is exercised by every test.
The route tests cover:
- the happy path — mission, agent and task all applied, read immediately
after the 200
- replay of the same revision — no second agent, no second task, no
second goal, no second project
- a later revision — the goal, agent and task are updated in place
- a multi-line mission splitting into a goal title and description
- a revision-only seed
- the activity log entry written once, and not again on a replay
- a caller without access to the company — 403, and nothing written
- a body with no revision — 400
- each field bound past its limit — 400
- a mission planted on an `x-paperclip-cloud-*` header — ignored, body
wins
- an existing Onboarding project — reused, not duplicated
Not verified here: the full Cloud-to-tenant walk against a live stack.
That needs a deployed Cloud and a provisioned tenant together, which is
separate staging work.
## Risks
Migration `0216` creates one new table. It adds no column to an existing
table, rewrites nothing, and backfills nothing, so it is safe to apply
online. The migration safety check passes.
The endpoint writes to a company. Access is enforced by
`assertCompanyAccess`, the same gate the company logo write uses, and a
test covers the denial.
Behavioral note for stacks that already hold data. If a company already
has a non-built-in `ceo` agent, a first seed updates that agent's name
and title rather than creating a second lead. Likewise a seed adopts an
existing company-level goal rather than adding a parallel one. This is
deliberate: the seed is the customer's own stated answer from signup,
and two competing missions or two leads would be worse than one updated
in place. In the intended case — a stack that Cloud has just activated —
none of these exist yet.
The seeded agent is created on `claude_local` with an empty adapter
config. It is idle and needs the usual credential setup before it runs.
Seeding it does not start it.
## Update — rebased onto master + review hardening
Master moved on after this PR was cut, so it was **rebased onto
`master`** and
the seed migration was **renumbered from `0212` to `0216`** (the merged
#11101
took `0212_onboarding_first_task_unique`); the drizzle journal was
re-stitched
and `check:migrations` passes.
Two things landed on top of the original receiver:
- **Mission-only walk contract (PAP-67 r17.4).** The tenant now owns the
first
agent and the first task via #11101's server-owned onboarding path,
which
stamps `ONBOARDING_FIRST_TASK_ORIGIN_KIND` and races safely on the
partial
unique index `issues_onboarding_first_task_uq`. A comment in the apply
path
documents why this receiver leaves the first task to that path on the
cloud
walk, and a paperclip-cloud `node:test`
(`src/onboarding/walk-seed.test.ts`)
asserts the walk's seed carries no `agent`/`firstTask`. The receiver
retains
the agent/first-task code for its documented body contract, kept inert
on the
cloud path by the mission-only seed.
- **Three Greptile P1 fixes** (`95622fa37`): concurrent application is
now
serialized under a per-company `pg_advisory_xact_lock` (no duplicate
goal/agent/project/task on overlapping pushes); a revised first task
carries
its resolved `assigneeAgentId`/`goalId`; and the
`company.onboarding_seed_applied`
audit write is best-effort so a logging failure can't leave the entry
permanently absent. Two new regression tests cover the first two.
## Model Used
Claude Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5`), 1M context window, extended thinking,
with tool use and code execution. Used for the original codebase
investigation, the implementation, and the tests. The rebase, migration
renumber, mission-only contract, and the three P1 fixes were done with
Claude Opus 4.8 (`claude-opus-4-8`), extended thinking, with tool use
and code execution.

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

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

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

verification).

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

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip gives operators a summary for each workspace.
> - An execution workspace detail page used the parent project-workspace
summary slot.
> - Two execution workspaces under one project workspace could therefore
show the same summary.
> - This pull request gives each execution workspace its own summary
scope.
> - It also limits the summary snapshot and generated issue to that
execution workspace.
> - The benefit is that a new or parallel execution workspace cannot
inherit unrelated status.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
An execution workspace detail page read and refreshed the summary slot
for its parent project workspace. Parallel execution workspaces could
show the same status and include issues from each other.
**Expected behavior**
Each execution workspace must have one isolated summary slot. Its
generated snapshot must include only issues assigned to that execution
workspace.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create two execution workspaces under one project workspace.
2. Add different issues to each execution workspace.
3. Generate the summary in the first execution workspace.
4. Open the second execution workspace.
5. Observe that the old implementation could reuse the first summary.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The problem exists on `master` before this pull request.
**Deployment mode**
The issue affects both local trusted and authenticated deployments.
## What Changed
- Added `execution_workspace` to the shared summary-slot scope contract.
- Validated execution-workspace ownership and stored generated summary
issues on the correct execution workspace.
- Limited execution-workspace snapshots to issues with the matching
execution workspace ID.
- Updated the execution workspace page to use its own summary slot.
- Updated Summarizer instructions, routine options, catalog metadata,
documentation, and regression tests.
## Verification
- `NODE_ENV=test pnpm exec vitest run
packages/shared/src/summary-slot.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/summary-slots.test.ts
ui/src/pages/ExecutionWorkspaceDetail.test.tsx` — 30 focused tests
passed; the embedded-Postgres server tests were run outside the
process-restricted sandbox.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/skills-catalog validate` — passed with 17
catalog skills.
- [Latest-head GitHub
Actions](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/31491475405)
— all 22 jobs passed on `beea14cbaf`, including typecheck, build,
server/workspace tests, serialized suites, e2e, canary, and aggregate
verification. One unrelated adapter cleanup test initially hit an
`ENOTEMPTY` temp-directory race; its single permitted rerun passed.
- Greptile — 5/5 confidence on `beea14cbaf`, 12 files reviewed, zero
comments added, and zero unresolved threads.
## Risks
- Low risk. The new scope is additive.
- Existing project and project-workspace summary slots keep their
current keys and behavior.
- A summary generated for an execution workspace now excludes sibling
workspace issues by design.

## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex with GPT-5. The deployment does not expose a more
specific model ID or context-window value. It used agentic reasoning,
repository tools, code execution, and GitHub tooling.

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip posts system comments when automatic run recovery cannot
continue
> - These comments currently mix the main event with recovery
identifiers and routing details
> - The task chat shell also renders these comments as large raw text
blocks

as compact humanized rows
> - The benefit is a quieter task thread that keeps the full recovery
evidence available
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related prior extraction source: #11070. This pull request replaces only
its structured recovery notice slice with a focused branch based on
current master.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Paperclip recovery escalations and the experimental task chat
system-comment renderer.
**Current behavior**
Recovery escalation comments put action identifiers, owner details, run
details, and failure codes into the visible markdown body. The task chat
shell renders the complete system comment as a large text block.
**Proposed behavior**
The server emits a short system notice with typed metadata sections. The
task chat shell classifies known recovery families and renders one
compact row. An operator can expand the row to inspect the full body and
metadata.
**Reason and benefit**
The main thread stays readable during repeated recovery activity. Typed
links and evidence remain available without exposing raw failure text in
the default view.
**Breaking changes**
The visible recovery comment body is shorter. Recovery action
deduplication now reads the structured metadata and still recognizes
legacy body markers. No API schema or database migration changes.
## What Changed
- Emit stranded recovery escalations with `system_notice` presentation
and typed recovery, owner, run, and failure-code metadata.
- Share bounded metadata row builders across recovery notice producers
and preserve legacy deduplication compatibility.
- Humanize known recovery notice families and render compact expandable
task-chat rows.
- Route system-authored comments ahead of derived agent authorship so
recovery notices do not appear as agent bubbles.
- Add focused server and UI regression coverage.

- Storybook visual baselines were not updated because this chat-shell
path has no affected snapshot baseline. Focused rendering tests and
token gates cover this change.
## Risks
- Consumers that parse recovery action identifiers from comment markdown

compatible with legacy comments.
- The humanizer uses stable recovery-family phrases. Unknown notices use
a generic truncated first-sentence fallback.
- The UI changes only the experimental task chat presentation. The
stored comment body and expanded metadata remain available.

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

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

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

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

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

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