## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #13104. Refs #13119.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The task composer and existing task/subtree pause controls.
**Current behavior**
A paused task can still receive a board message. The pause notice sits
outside the composer, which leaves the send action available.
**Proposed behavior**
Show an amber takeover in both task chat and the classic composer.
Preserve the draft. Require the user to resume the task or the ancestor
subtree before sending. Reject board comment writes through either
supported write route while the pause hold is active.
**Breaking changes**
Board comment writes to a paused task now return HTTP 409. Agent run
reports remain supported during a pause. There is no schema migration.
## What Changed
- Add a shared amber composer takeover with task, subtree, saved draft,
pending, and error states.
- Use effective ancestor pause state in both composer interfaces.
Refresh it after pause events, task updates, and rejected sends.
- Preserve draft text and attachments. Hide editor, send, queued edit,
and pending question controls while paused.
- Check active pause holds before board comment writes can mutate tasks,
store comments, or wake agents.
- Connect the approved Storybook examples to the production component
and update the design and behavior docs.
- Add browser coverage for both composers, draft persistence, resume,
inherited holds, and rejected writes. Update ACP continuation coverage
for the explicit resume requirement.
## Verification
- Passed: `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Passed: `pnpm build`.
- Passed: `pnpm build-storybook`.
- Passed: `pnpm check:token-gates` and `git diff --check`.
- Passed: focused UI tests (398 tests) and server route tests (127
tests).
- Passed: `pnpm exec playwright test --config
tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts tests/e2e/paused-composer.spec.ts
tests/e2e/acp-stop-continuation.spec.ts` (5 tests).
- Passed: manual browser walkthrough in a disposable local instance.
Pause with a draft, refresh while paused, resume, send, and reopen. The
draft returned, and one message persisted. The amber card and resume
dialog were readable with no clipping.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` did not pass: the general-server stage
recorded 9,072 passing tests, 6 database setup failures from macOS
shared-memory exhaustion, and 4 failed tests. This stopped the script
before its later groups. Latest-head CI runs those groups independently.
- Local follow-up: the Git file-resource load test passed on rerun (4
tests); native finalization migration passed after clearing the
abandoned browser-test database allocation. Building the native debug
fixtures fixed the missing fake provider. The remaining native-session
recovery assertion also reproduces on untouched base commit `87b3e5fc6`
(36 pass, 1 fail on both base and PR). It expects a settled-session
error but receives a semantic-input-digest error.
- The final UI build, UI typecheck, token gates, both thread suites (182
tests), and all five browser tests passed after the queued-action review
fix. All 31 latest-head CI checks passed, including all server,
workspace, browser, build, release, and security gates. Two optional
Storybook jobs were skipped by workflow policy. Greptile reviewed
`32d8fb5f5` at 5/5 with no open findings.
- Review the Paused Composer and Tasks / Execution Controls stories.
Pause a task with a draft, verify the amber card, resume, and verify the
draft can be sent once.
## Risks
- Clients that used board comments to continue paused work must resume
first. The response is an explicit HTTP 409.
- Pause state can change while a page is open. Live updates refresh the
composer, and the server rejects stale sends before their side effects.
- Resume keeps the existing dialog and optional agent wake behavior.
Agent reports from interrupted runs remain allowed.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, assisted with design, implementation, code
execution, and browser verification. The exact runtime model ID and
context window are not exposed in this session. The agent used reasoning
and tool calls.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip manages agent work and shows run progress to operators.
> - Run lists, live events, transcripts, and workspace details must
remain responsive as usage grows.
> - Run-list redaction rereads the full context for every run. Hidden
tabs can still trigger requests through live events and manual timers.
> - Workspace detail reads repeat Git inspection even when concurrent
callers request the same state.
> - This pull request batches registry reads, pauses hidden-tab
refreshes, and caches Git inspection for display.
> - Cleanup keeps fresh Git checks, and redaction keeps company and run
boundaries.
## Linked Issues
**What happened?**
Run-list responses perform one extra database read per run and parse
full context JSON to obtain small secret registries. Hidden tabs
continue transcript reads and event-triggered refetches. Workspace
detail requests repeat Git scans.
**Expected behavior**
A run list reads registries once. Hidden tabs stop recurring run reads
and reconcile when visible. Concurrent workspace detail reads share a
short-lived Git result.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open run lists and task transcripts in several tabs while agents run.
2. Hide some tabs and observe transcript and event-triggered requests.
3. Request a 200-run list and count redaction database queries.
4. Request the same workspace detail concurrently and count Git
inspections.
Related: #5255 adjusts polling cadence. This change addresses hidden-tab
lifecycle, batched registry reads, and workspace inspection reuse. No
duplicate with this scope was found.
## What Changed
- Batch heartbeat and live-run redaction into one company-scoped
registry query. Select only registry JSON for run and issue redaction.
- Resolve duplicate secret values once per request. Preserve each run's
registry and remove registry material from responses.
- Suspend company event sockets and transcript reads while hidden.
Refresh active queries and resume transcript offsets on return.
- Prevent queued event invalidations and developer health polling from
fetching in hidden tabs. Gate legacy run-log readers in both UI
variants.
- Exclude legacy plugin placeholder connections from remote health
probes. Select only due connection IDs in SQL before the sweep limit.
Preserve existing plugin records.
- Cache concurrent Git display inspections for five seconds, with at
most 256 entries. Leave close-readiness and cleanup checks uncached.
- Add regression coverage and document the performance behavior.
- Stabilize the existing Rust descendant-lineage fixture: allow a
bounded 30 seconds for 300 durable notifications under concurrent test
load, retaining every correctness assertion and adding timeout
diagnostics.
## Verification
- Regression coverage verifies one registry query for 200 runs, per-run
isolation, request-local secret resolution, decryption failures, Git
cache expiry/bounds, hidden-tab pause, and visibility recovery.
- Real PostgreSQL redaction/run-route suites passed all 57 tests;
workspace-service coverage passed. The health-sweep regression verifies
plugin placeholders and chat connections remain untouched and do not
consume the sweep limit.
- Both legacy transcript viewers retain history and resume their byte
offset after visibility changes. The related visibility/progress/chunk
suites passed all 29 tests. Other focused UI suites and token gates
passed.
- Full `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed. Affected-package
typechecks/builds passed after review fixes. The concurrent Rust
provider suite passed 84 tests (two ignored), and Rust formatting
passed.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` stopped after the general-server group:
10,538 passed, 65 skipped, four failed. Fresh chat-delivery and
health-sweep reruns passed; building the debug runner fixture cleared
the native-event test. One unchanged native-session recovery assertion
still fails locally with a semantic-digest error instead of the expected
settled-session message. The full local command is therefore not green.
CI runs the later groups separately and skips the two native-session
tests requiring a prebuilt runner binary (confirmed in its 37-test
native-session suite).
- All CI gates pass on final head `ee610e737`: typechecking, general and
serialized tests, browser tests, runner verification, build, and canary
dry run. One server shard passed on its single retry after exposure
fixtures encountered port 42001 where they assumed 42000; that suite
also passed locally (25 passed, three platform-specific skips).
- Greptile reviewed the final head at 5/5 with no actionable findings.
## Risks
- Workspace delivery display can lag local Git changes by five seconds.
Destructive operations still inspect current state.
- Hidden tabs do not receive company live-event notifications until
visible. Active queries refresh on return.
- This change preserves legacy plugin records and does not repair
instance-specific workspace rows. There is no database migration.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser inspection. The exact model identifier and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People also ask agents for work in their existing chat tools.
> - Each external conversation needs one task and a current authorized
source.
> - Retries, Stop, and provider failures must not duplicate work or
expose private data.
> - The first chat PR establishes the opt-in provider and data
contracts.
> - This PR adds experimental channel integration and its durable
control plane.
> - Users can request work from connected channels and inspect delivery
in Paperclip.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #13100 and #13092. This is the second of exactly two chat PRs.
Foundation #13100 is merged and changed 143 files. Runner prerequisite
#13092 is also merged. This PR changes 400 files against master, below
the 500-file review limit. It contains no wireframe images or HTML
galleries.
## What Changed
- Add native Slack, GitHub, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, and Discord chat
connections. Keep chat disabled unless the operator enables experimental
chat connectors. Preserve the production GitHub tool connection and its
normal setup path.
- Bind each provider bot identity to one immutable Paperclip agent. Bind
each admitted external conversation to one task. Paperclip owns tasks,
runs, permissions, and audit records.
- Add durable admission, per-conversation queues, questions, task
controls, progress, final replies, images, files, and delivery receipts.
Board comments remain internal unless explicitly sent to the channel.
- Check current identity, provider reach, resource access, credentials,
runtime generation, and exact source before provider effects. Keep
private responses private. Never send raw reasoning, private logs,
credentials, or tool arguments.
- Hold uncertain sends for explicit audited resolution. Make Board
Send-to-channel atomic and idempotent. Keep reconnect and setup
credentials in Paperclip secret storage.
- Preserve current native-runner authority across retries, lost
acknowledgements, and recovery. Keep immutable input and completion
contracts separate from newer user input. Receipt reconciliation cannot
launch a provider.
- Reconcile chat close/new ordering and provider-effect lock order.
Audit resource access changes in the same transaction. Submit only the
selected resource from each UI toggle so stale pages cannot undo
unrelated access changes.
- Drain Codex stdout before certifying process exit. Bound the drain
with the existing shutdown grace. Preserve observed terminal authority
without treating an undrained process as successful or reusable.
- Incorporate master `018ca5da` with its ACP Stop, mobile task layout,
runner packaging, and official lock changes. Preserve dedicated
chat-answer continuations in both directions when ordinary queued
comments are adopted after Stop.
- Fence late adapter readiness behind an earlier Stop for the same run.
Preserve verified cleanup for registered adapters. Handle single Stop,
agent pause, duplicate Stops, and failure release without creating a
false cancellation receipt.
- Incorporate master's `6dd48cad4` wake-queue extraction. Preserve exact
failed-chat retry authorization and lineage, retired question-source
suppression, and the block on generic recovery that would discard the
admitted source. Fresh deferred input retains its separate promotion
path.
- Incorporate master `2a05b5ed3` and its queue-admission extraction,
simplified transaction ports, and separate runner CI job. Preserve exact
durable receipts, actor separation, and dedicated-answer isolation
through the new module. A failed receipt insert rolls back the
accompanying deferred-wake merge.
## Verification
Current head: `afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a`, incorporating
master `2a05b5ed3457ea33efd6895520447d1d97fe98d8`. The conflicts are
resolved. This successor fixes two test-harness boundaries exposed by
CI: per-case route-module preparation and actual durable-save completion
before intentional runner termination. Production code and all existing
test/turn deadlines are unchanged. [Exact-head Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13038#issuecomment-5587250594)
is **5/5**, completed September 10 at 13:20:55 UTC, with no actionable
findings or open review threads. [Fresh exact-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34481724341)
passes **all 24 jobs**, including Build and both required aggregates.
Normal exact-head guarded merge was attempted and rejected by the
remaining branch approval policy: CODEOWNER review is required and no
human approval is present. Normal **squash auto-merge is enabled** as of
September 10 at 13:36:26 UTC. Requested CODEOWNERS have been notified;
no approval bypass or self-approval was used. Earlier-head results below
remain historical evidence, not qualification of this successor.
- Final exact-head Linux evidence: 995/995 chat integration cases; 36/36
agent-skills routes; 35/35 runner live-session cases, including real
process kill/resume; 1948 runner Vitest cases with three existing
benchmark/platform guards; 870/870 API-authority cases; and 104 browser
cases with four existing optional skips. Rust, conformance/replay, full
repository build, typecheck, canary, all server/workspace shards, and
both required aggregates pass with normal CI concurrency. Earlier failed
attempts remain recorded below.
- Latest test-only qualification: 141/141
route/permissions/authentication cases pass in separate cold forks, with
plain server types and independent review clear. The real-runner suite
passes 35/35, with plain runner types and independent review clear. A
controlled premature-save acknowledgement fails as expected; matching
ownership/effect/process evidence, rejected saves, real turn outcome,
test abort, and pre-kill liveness are covered. No local reproduction of
the original CI scheduling failure is claimed. The preceding [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34479680858)
passes 21/24 jobs, including all 995 Linux chat cases and browser
aggregate (104 passed, four existing optional skips); only Build, the
skills serialized shard, and the required verification aggregate fail.
Its exact-head Greptile review was 5/5. Both failed job logs are
retained.
- Final fixture qualification: all eight focused Discord cases and all
995 chat integration cases pass. The exact modal statement/PID is
observed before taking the real connection lock; the test then proves
its actual blocking relationship before mutation. Original SQL
execution, provider behavior, negative assertions, and 1s/15s timeouts
remain unchanged. Independent review is clear and test/production hashes
remain frozen. The preceding [CI
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34477184777)
passed 22 jobs, including Build/runner, typecheck, canary, all other
test shards, and browser aggregate (104 passed, four existing optional
skips); the two fixture failures and failed verification aggregate
remain recorded, not relabeled as a pass.
- Current queue-module composition: 308/308 recovery/batching/queue/Stop
tests; 995/995 full chat integration; 89/89 module tests, including real
PostgreSQL receipt-insert rollback; 24/24 workflow/module-boundary
tests; plain server and UI types. All four actual local process/ACP
browser paths pass in 1.4 minutes. Fresh databases, no skips or retries,
stable reviewed source hashes. The initial boundary failure is retained;
its no-op service wrapper was removed without changing recovery context
or weakening the check. An exploratory standalone test-directory
typecheck fails because its new upstream transformation config is not a
standalone typechecking project; standard CI/build does not invoke it,
and no configuration was weakened to suppress those diagnostics.
- The preceding head `e02a63d462ce5d47433b0aeb632bb6fd20aab1ba` passed
[all 24 CI
jobs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34436462958)
and exact-head Greptile review at 5/5. Required CODEOWNER review
prevented its normal merge before master advanced again.
- Final extracted-module composition: 307/307 recovery, batching, queue
and Stop-control tests; 995/995 full chat integration; 49/49 module
tests including eight PostgreSQL adapter cases; and 19/19 issue-update
tests. Plain server types pass. All four actual local process/ACP
browser paths pass in 1.3 minutes. Fresh databases, no skips or retries
in these cohorts, frozen source hashes, and independent review clear.
- The preceding head `3e4e1c1c` passes [all PR CI
jobs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34415826820),
including Build and required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`. Both the
original Rust failure and the previously load-sensitive lineage fixture
pass with unchanged Linux concurrency. Master advanced afterward and
required this reconciliation.
- Final master composition: 448/448 focused UI tests, 186/186 adapter
tests, 24/24 queue/control tests, and 11/11 packaging tests. Plain UI,
server, shared, and adapter types pass. Token gates and diff checks
pass. Independent server and UI reviews are clear.
- Stop-registration regression: both real-service cases fail against
exact `a95` source and pass with the fix. The full corrected
recovery/control suite passes 265/265. Duplicate-owner and failed-Stop
controls also pass. Plain server types pass. The readiness barrier
prevents provider startup without adding an acknowledgment to an already
terminal run.
- Final qualification strengthens terminal-field equality and repeats
both affected cases successfully on a fresh database. All four actual
local process/ACP browser paths pass again in 1.3 minutes, without skips
or retries. The final screenshot shows Cancelled, a paused subtree,
retained input, and no error toast.
- Two new actual-service regressions fail before the merge fix. They
prove that queued-comment adoption could consume a dedicated chat answer
or add unrelated input to that answer. The fixed four-case cohort
passes, including ordinary upstream continuation and adapter Stop
controls. Full recovery passes 257/257. All four actual local
process/ACP Stop browser flows pass in 1.4 minutes, without skips or
retries, on a fresh database.
- The unchanged runner artifact was qualified with 171/171 transport
tests, 870/870 API-authority tests, conformance 1/1, and replay 11/11.
Six controlled reader tests prove the exit/drain repair. Its local
serial Rust workspace passed 546 top-level cases plus two invoked
helpers; the later passing Linux CI supplies default-concurrency
evidence.
- Prior exact-source full chat integration passes 995/995. Settings
regressions cover concurrent stale pages, 501 destinations, pending
state, rejected updates, and explicit retry. These deterministic tests
do not prove live provider behavior.
- Retained failed attempts and their causes are in the [qualification
log](afe19299d0/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-08-chat-queue-and-webhook-repair.md).
The first merge adapter run timed out while macOS slept for 290 seconds.
Its unchanged repeat passed with a temporary sleep guard. No assertion,
deadline, or CI gate was weakened.
Review commands include `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest
run src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-queued-comments-routes.test.ts` and `pnpm exec
playwright test --config tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts
tests/e2e/acp-stop-continuation.spec.ts`. Database suites require fresh
disposable databases. See the [browser
runbook](afe19299d0/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-04-chat-adapters-browser-e2e-runbook.md)
for provider setup and separate live acceptance steps.
## Risks
- This remains experimental. Deterministic tests and bounded live
evidence do not establish every provider feature, tenant, permission
layout, or media shape. Teams work-tenant qualification is still open.
- Failed and uncertain provider effects remain visible and can require
operator action. A transport receipt does not prove recipient
visibility.
- Native controller and runner artifacts must remain compatible.
Preserve lease ownership, terminal authority, source binding, and
quarantine during future changes.
- Access and audit rows commit together, but activity notifications
remain best-effort. This is not a new durable event outbox.
- The PR operation does not deploy a live server, replace its runner, or
change provider permissions. Remaining live qualification is documented
in the [temporary
handoff](afe19299d0/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-08-open-qualification-followups.md).

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task composer is where operators direct running agents.
> - Operators need to stop work without leaving the conversation.
> - Existing pause controls already hold task trees and interrupt both
runner types.
> - This pull request connects the composer to those controls and
removes repeated feedback.
> - Operators can pause work quickly and still queue messages while
agents run.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Task pause, resume, and cancellation in the task page and composer.
**Current behavior**
The empty composer cannot stop a running task. Task controls require
extra confirmation and reason text. Pause can show several notifications
for the task already on screen.
**Proposed behavior**
Show Stop while this task runs and the composer is empty. Text or
attachments switch it to Send. Stop and the menu use the same manual
pause hold. Parent pauses include descendants. Keep task cancellation in
the menu with a compact confirmation. Show one quiet pause row and gray
cancelled-run details.
**Reason and benefit**
Operators can interrupt execution with one click. Drafts and queued
messages keep their existing behavior. The UI waits for actual
termination, including native cancellation acknowledgment.
**Breaking changes**
No endpoint, schema, or task-status change. Pause no longer asks for
confirmation or a reason. Resume now honors the existing wake-agents
option. Task notifications are suppressed for the task and subtree
currently in view.
Related UI work: #8228 changes navigation and composer shortcuts. This
PR covers execution controls. No duplicate Stop-button PR was found. The
change improves existing controls and does not duplicate a roadmap
milestone.
## What Changed
- Add Stop, pending feedback, duplicate-click protection, and inline
errors to the composer.
- Share the pause mutation across the composer, active-run controls, and
menu.
- Poll affected runs after a pause request. Require native cancellation
acknowledgment.
- Remove pause confirmation and shared reason fields. Reduce cancel
confirmation to its task count and actions.
- Honor wake-agents for executable tasks only. Preserve the pause when
recovery review is needed; show partial wake failures inline.
- Preserve explicit legacy reconciliation decisions while their
continuation waits for dispatch.
- Suppress notifications for visible task trees. Use quiet pause and
cancellation feedback.
- Add interactive stories using production controls and native/legacy
end-to-end tests.
## Verification
- User reviewed the running feature and revised Storybooks in the
browser.
- Rebased focused checks passed: 295 original targeted tests, 161
updated route/page/notification/status tests, and 26 recovery
integration tests.
- Both isolated runner journeys pass on the final revision (1.7
minutes). Coverage includes queueing, parent and child interruption,
persisted holds, no automatic continuation, reconciled resume,
cancellation, terminal exclusions, and no Stop toast.
- Native coverage uses real runnerd with a deterministic provider
fixture. Legacy coverage checks actual process termination. Live
hosted-provider execution was not tested.
- Repository typecheck and build, Storybook build, and token gates
passed after rebase. The final server typecheck/build also passed.
- The broad local run completed its general-server stage with 7,219
passing tests, 48 skipped, and two failures from cached pre-fix source
and a stale native provider fixture. Both failed tests pass in fresh
final-head reruns after rebuilding the fixture; the script did not
continue to its later local stages. CI runs all test groups on the final
revision.
- Final revision: all 31 applicable CI checks passed; Storybook visual
regression was skipped by its workflow conditions. Greptile: 5/5, zero
unresolved comments.
- Review `Tasks / Execution Controls` in Storybook. Type and clear a
draft, stop a run, expand cancellation details, and test the menu on
desktop and mobile.
## Risks
- Stop pauses descendants for a parent task. This is the existing pause
contract.
- A held task can remain active if interruption fails. The UI shows an
error instead of claiming termination.
- Resume can start multiple assignees when wake-agents is selected.
Backlog, blocked, and terminal tasks stay excluded. Existing execution
reconciliation remains mandatory where required; Resume never invents
action-outcome evidence.
- Notification suppression uses the visible task and cached subtree.
Notifications for unrelated work remain enabled.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The exact runtime snapshot and
context-window limit are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning,
tool calls, code execution, and browser inspection.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Converting an existing Claude agent to Paperclip Runner failed with a
Codex-only restriction. ACPX Claude showed unrelated models and required
`claude-sonnet-5`. Its native runtime rejected macOS. Configuration
mixed common model settings with process controls. Artifact cards
labeled “Open gallery” navigated to attachment URLs instead of opening
the task gallery.
**Expected behavior**
Conversion keeps agent identity and compatible settings. ACPX Claude
uses the normal Claude catalog and accepts typed model IDs. Codex uses
the native runner. The verified Claude runtime can launch on macOS ARM64
and x64. Common configuration sections place the same fields together
across adapters. Artifact images open in the shared task gallery with
navigation and downloads.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open the configuration of an existing Claude agent.
2. Convert it to Paperclip Runner.
3. Select ACPX Claude and a different catalog model or a typed model ID.
4. Save the agent and run a disposable task on macOS.
5. Inspect configuration and advanced run-policy controls across
adapters.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The bugs were reproduced on `165ca56a22adb60e5fda56045442d9c8498116a8`.
This branch was rebased onto `7ed122911`.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source. Local test-drive instance on macOS ARM64 with an
isolated database.
Related work: #11798 addresses unsupported ACP session options in the
existing adapter path. #13048 addresses working-folder preservation.
This change fixes native runner configuration and launch behavior.
## What Changed
- Remove the Codex-only conversion restriction. Preserve agent identity,
instructions, directories, credentials, and compatible model settings.
Reset incompatible sessions while retaining history.
- Show ACPX Claude and native Codex as distinct provider choices. Remove
ACPX Codex from advertised configuration. Normalize legacy
configurations before fresh runs without rewriting historical run
descriptors.
- Select model catalogs and cache entries by provider. Support refresh
and typed model IDs. Pass exact Claude IDs through session creation,
model changes, and recovery.
- Add verified macOS ARM64 and x64 Claude SDK snapshots. Bound
executable allocation and total snapshot size. Preserve package checks,
dependency isolation, process ownership, cancellation, and Linux
descriptor loading.
- Probe local runtime readiness. Report remote platform checks as
incomplete until the remote runner verifies its runtime.
- Surface actual model rejection and allow correction and retry.
- Repair missing ACPX goal-capability helpers exposed by the post-rebase
live test. Persist and restore the optional capability without breaking
session startup.
- Put Agent identity first and intentionally remove the Capabilities
editor, as requested. This is removal of UI editing, not relocation:
preserve existing capability metadata and API compatibility without
adding another editor. Use the themed select for configurable permission
modes, with normal text instead of monospace.
- Put model and provider under Adapter. Give environment variables their
own section. Fold command and arguments under Configuration. Fold
lifecycle, timeout, and interrupt grace under Advanced Run Policy. Hide
single-option permission controls.
- Open image and video artifact cards in the existing task gallery,
including cards in the artifacts panel. Chat attachment images use the
same gallery. Preserve standalone media previews and download links.
## Verification
- Rebased focused UI/API/database suites: 293 tests passed.
- Rebased native runtime and ACPX suites: 242 passed, 7 skipped.
- Repository typecheck, build, and token gates passed for the runner
changes. Gallery follow-up UI typecheck, build, and token gates also
passed.
- Follow-up UI suites passed (86 tests), packaging checks passed (14
tests), and the final focused runtime suites passed (126 passed, 7
skipped).
- Linux container isolation and lifecycle fixtures passed before rebase
(57 passed, 2 skipped). Rust ACPX provider-session tests passed after
rebase (8 tests).
- Browser tests completed actual Claude and native Codex tasks on macOS
ARM64. They covered conversion, catalog refresh, a non-default catalog
model, a typed `haiku` ID, save/reload, cancel, follow-up session
continuity, invalid-model errors, and recovery.
- Final-revision live tests completed a typed Claude task, a follow-up
with the same provider session, and a native Codex task on macOS ARM64.
- Browser tests confirmed the moved interrupt-grace field saves and
survives reload. Cross-adapter tests cover Claude, Codex, Gemini,
process, gateway, and schema forms.
- Full local run: 7,080 passed, 30 skipped, and two timeouts. Both
timeout suites passed on isolated rerun (84 tests); the failures were
the plugin login-worker exit diagnostic and the runner real-server
vertical slice.
- Final follow-up checks: 50 registry tests and 45 snapshot/installation
tests passed (6 platform-specific skips). Oversized executable rejection
is covered before allocation or reading; unsupported-platform tests
invoke the real installation probe.
- Runner head `ddb5101c483a297f74875ab96b3c66035b002d50`: all CI gates
green, including full runner verification, repository build, typecheck,
general/serialized server suites, browser tests, and canary dry run. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34286178670).
- Greptile: 5/5 on that runner head. All four review threads resolved.
Superagent, Socket, and Snyk checks green.
- After snapshot hardening, another real Claude task completed on this
Mac using the rebuilt runtime.
- Gallery follow-up: 148 focused tests passed, covering artifact
selection, shared attachment collections, deduplication, image/video
cards, standalone previews, downloads, and closing. Live browser
verification completed on the settings follow-up: artifact selection,
6-image pagination with wrapping, download action, and closing all
stayed on the same task URL. All checks passed on gallery head
`96136da58ff195bf6ca00b281eb3022ad12d7bd8`: [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34287987536).
Greptile returned 5/5 on that exact head with no unresolved threads.
- Final settings polish: 96 focused tests, UI typecheck/build, and token
gates passed. A real browser walkthrough verified readable permission
options, identity placement, Capabilities removal, and permission
save/reload. Original test-agent permission mode restored. All 31 checks
passed on final head `e46540d6bf32bfb0566dca16b2f4a75ba437618c`: [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34292797886).
Greptile returned 5/5 with no unresolved threads.
## Risks
- Capabilities intentionally has no editable UI field after this change.
Existing values remain readable and API-compatible; removing the field
does not erase stored metadata.
- macOS launch now copies verified package files into private snapshots.
The implementation must retain isolation and clean up snapshots on exit.
- Runtime provider or model changes reset the current session.
Historical runs remain available.
- The macOS x64 SDK executable digest was verified, but a live Intel Mac
run was not available. Linux verification used container fixtures, not a
real Claude task.
- Remote environment tests report a warning when only the platform has
been checked. They do not claim package readiness from the server host.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The exact served model identifier and
context-window limit are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning,
repository inspection, code execution, Rust and TypeScript tests, and
browser automation.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents ask humans for decisions through approval cards, and a chat
gateway plugin can forward those cards to Slack with an "Open task"
button
> - The button opens the bare task page; to read the document under
approval, the reviewer must click four more times (open the side pane,
open the Artifacts tab, open the artifact, maximize the pane)
> - Approvals are the highest-frequency human touchpoint, so each
removed click matters
> - This pull request adds a `viewer=full` option to the existing
`#document-<key>` deep link; the link now opens the target document and
maximizes the side pane
> - The benefit is one-click access from an external notification to a
full-size reading surface for the document under approval
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The issue page already supports `#document-<key>` deep links. They open
the document in the side pane, but at the pane's default width.
**Current behavior**
An external link cannot request the maximized (full-size) document view.
A reviewer who follows an approval notification must maximize the pane
by hand each time.
**Proposed behavior**
`#document-<key>&viewer=full` opens the document and maximizes the side
pane. Plan documents open in the Plan tab, maximized. Mobile keeps the
full-screen sheet. Unknown `viewer` values are ignored, so old links and
new links stay compatible in both directions.
**Reason and benefit**
Chat notifications about approvals can now land the reviewer directly on
a full-size view of the document they must read. This removes four
clicks from every approval review.
**Breaking changes**
None. The parameter is optional and additive. Links without it keep
today's behavior.
## What Changed
- `ui/src/lib/document-annotation-hash.ts`: parse and build an optional
`viewer=full` parameter in document hashes.
- `ui/src/lib/issue-document-deep-link.ts`: thread a `maximize` flag on
properties-pane routes; the continuation-summary route is unchanged.
- `ui/src/context/PanelContext.tsx`: add a one-shot panel maximize
request (`requestPanelMaximize` / `clearPanelMaximizeRequest`).
- `ui/src/components/PropertiesPanel.tsx`: the resizable panel host
consumes a pending request once it is visible and laid out, then clears
it.
- `ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.tsx`: request the maximize on the desktop
deep-link path only; mobile keeps the sheet.
- Tests for all of the above.
## Verification
- `cd ui && pnpm typecheck` — clean.
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run src/lib/document-annotation-hash.test.ts
src/lib/issue-document-deep-link.test.ts
src/components/PropertiesPanel.test.tsx` — 31/31 green.
- New cases cover: `viewer` parse/build round trip, unknown values
ignored, maximize routing for document and plan tabs, a pending request
consumed on mount, and a request held while the panel is hidden.
- Manual check: open an issue with `#document-<key>&viewer=full` in the
URL; the pane opens on that document, maximized. Remove the parameter;
the pane opens at its normal width.
## Risks
- Low risk. The parameter is optional; no data, schema, or API changes.
- The maximize request lives in React context as a one-shot flag. It is
cleared on first consumption, so a stale request cannot re-maximize the
pane on later navigations.
- If a link carries `viewer=full` on a web build older than this change,
the parameter is ignored and the document still opens.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12639.
Refs #12617.
Refs #12352.
**Subsystem affected**
Task chat, task detail, side panels, interaction forms, and transcript
presentation.
**Problem or motivation**
The task page does not provide one complete workspace for live activity,
plans, questions, queued guidance, files, and documents. Earlier native
UI work also exposed compatibility risks in legacy question and reply
paths.
**Proposed solution**
Add the task workspace components and provider-neutral protocol
presentation. Keep runner-only controls behind runtime facts. Preserve
all direct-adapter composer, transcript, interaction, and finalization
behavior.
**Alternatives considered**
A separate runner page would duplicate task behavior. Replacing legacy
transcript logic would create unnecessary adapter regressions.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports the unified task experience and the Cloud and Sandbox
agents milestone.
## Stack
- Base PR: #12639.
- Lower PR: #12638.
- This PR contains only its 119-file UI delta against
`runner/remote-wss-transport`.
- The next stack PR adds administrator and observability controls.
## What Changed
- Added a reusable task workspace side panel for files and documents.
- Added provider-neutral cards for tools, plans, questions, protocol
activity, and progress.
- Added queued guidance and richer composer state.
- Added compact and expanded interaction presentation.
- Added live activity, thinking, usage, recovery, and final reply
presentation.
- Added document annotations and task deep links.
- Added bounded question validation and response handling.
- Preserved native runner event projection from master.
- Preserved legacy channel-less replies and explicit final reply
precedence.
- Preserved direct-adapter and classic-interface controls.
- Did not change server execution selection, Rust code, migrations,
workflows, or `pnpm-lock.yaml`.
## Verification
- GitHub Actions will run UI tests, repository tests, typecheck, build,
browser tests, security, and policy gates.
- Tests cover active, settled, empty-transcript, interaction,
queued-message, plan, question, file, document, and classic-interface
states.
- Compatibility tests cover direct adapters and native runner projection
together.
- Local tests were not run. The requested verification policy uses
GitHub Actions for this series.
- `git diff --check runner/remote-wss-transport...HEAD` passes.
- The delta contains 119 UI-only files.
## Risks
- This is a large task-page change.
- Most files are new focused components and tests.
- Shared transcript code keeps the lower native projection and legacy
direct-adapter fallbacks.
- Runner-only controls use adapter and runtime facts.
- No execution path or rollout flag changes in this PR.

> - 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.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Which companies a person belongs to is an authorization fact the
server owns, and the UI caches the answer for speed
> - It cached that answer under one `["companies"]` key with no account
attached, while `main.tsx` sets `staleTime: 30_000` for every query
> - So for thirty seconds after an account change, one person's list
answered questions asked about another, arriving with no loading state
and no error
> - Three separate consumers each grew their own defense against this,
and each was a place to forget one
> - This pull request keys the entry by account, so a list belonging to
someone else is not distrusted but unreachable
> - The benefit is that the protection stops depending on every future
consumer remembering to defend itself
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists. Refs #11380, #11382, #11417, #11430. The problem
follows.
**What happened?**
The company list lived in a single cache entry, `["companies"]`,
carrying no record of which account it was fetched for. Combined with
the app-wide 30s `staleTime`, any read within that window after an
account change returned the previous account's list — from cache, with
no request, no loading state and no error.
Every consumer that treats the list as an authorization fact had to know
this and defend itself:
- `InviteLanding` reads it to decide whether you already belong to the
inviting company (#11417).
- `OnboardingWizard` reads it to decide whether a saved draft belongs to
you (#11382, merged).
- `CompanyProvider` reads it to pick and persist your active company
(#11430).
All three defenses are correct. The problem is structural: the fourth
consumer has to invent a fourth one.
**Expected behavior**
A cached company list can only answer questions about the account it was
fetched for.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. On a self-hosted instance in `authenticated` mode, sign in as account
A, which belongs to company X.
2. Within thirty seconds, have account B become the session in that tab
— a second tab signing in, or A's session lapsing server-side.
3. Any consumer reading the company list receives A's list, and nothing
in the query result indicates it is not B's.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `ac91b7f3b`, which includes #11430.
## What Changed
- `ui/src/lib/queryKeys.ts` — `companies.list(userId)` replaces
`companies.all` as the list's entry. `companies.all` remains the prefix,
so it still matches for invalidation.
- `ui/src/api/companies-query.ts` — `companyListQueryOptions(userId)`
builds the keyed options; `useCompanyListQuery()` is the only observer
entry point and holds until the session settles, because the key cannot
be built before then; `fetchCompanyListForCurrentAccount(queryClient)`
covers imperative paths; `useAccountIdentity()` exposes the session
identity the key is built from.
- `ui/src/api/companies-query.ts` — the `/companies` detach moved into
the query function.
- `ui/src/context/CompanyContext.tsx` — drops the session-watching
refetch machinery the key now makes unnecessary (`removeQueries`, the
explicit replacement fetch, the awaiting gate). It still clears the live
selection on an account change, because that is component state and does
not change key with the query.
- `ui/src/pages/InviteLanding.tsx`,
`ui/src/components/OnboardingWizard.tsx` — read through the
account-aware API.
- Tests — the account-keyed guarantee, prefix invalidation still
reaching the list, the detach inside the query function, and updates
where suites seeded the old shared key.
### The existing defenses are deliberately left in place
The per-consumer gates in #11382, #11417 and #11430 are now belt and
braces. They are also what will catch this refactor if it is wrong
somewhere, so removing them in the same change that moves the foundation
would be the wrong order. Simplifying them is a follow-up, once this has
proven itself.
### Why `retry: 1` appears in CompanyProvider
An earlier measurement on #11430 found a retry on the replacement fetch
changed no outcome, because `removeQueries` made the observer rebind and
issue a second request for free. Keying by account removes that
mechanism and the free attempt with it. The retry now carries the
property the incidental refetch used to — a single blip during an
account change should not leave the customer with no companies until
they find "Try again". #11430's test for that property is unchanged and
still passes, which is how the gap was caught.
### A regression this went through, kept for the record
Gating the query on the session settling meant that while the account
was unknown the query was *disabled*, and a disabled query reports
`isLoading: false` with no data — which the provider defaults to an
empty list and reads as "asked, and owns nothing". That is the
destructive branch #11477 had just fixed, reached through a different
door: it would have cleared the customer's stored company on every cold
boot. #11477's test caught it during the rebase. `useCompanyListQuery`
now reports the wait for the account as part of the wait for the list.
### What this does not do
It does not scope the rest of the per-account cache. `["companies",
id]`, stats, and every other account-scoped entry still survive an
account change; that is the cache-lifetime work in #11380.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run` in `ui`: **4018 passed, 1 failed**.
- `pnpm tsc -b` in `ui`: clean.
- `companies-query.test.ts`: 6 passed. `CompanyContext.test.tsx`: 17
passed. `OnboardingWizard.test.tsx`: 13 passed.
`InviteLanding.test.tsx`: 13 passed.
The failure is the pre-existing timezone-dependent
`IssueProperties.test.tsx`, fixed by #11478.
Two behaviours are asserted rather than assumed, because the refactor is
only safe if they hold: that invalidating the `companies` prefix still
marks the account-keyed list stale (19 call sites depend on it), and
that the query function detaches the in-flight `/companies` request
before fetching.
**Not done:** no manual two-account run in a browser. The path needs two
accounts on an `authenticated` instance, which a local dev instance
cannot exercise.
## Risks
Moderate, and worth reading before approving.
**It touches `InviteLanding.tsx`, which #11417 also modifies**, so one
of the two will need a rebase — the conflict is mechanical (both change
how the same query is read).
This was #11481, which GitHub closed automatically when its base branch
(#11430's) was deleted on merge; reopening a pull request whose base
branch is gone is not permitted, so it continues here against `master`
with the same head and the same review already recorded on #11481.
**The list now waits for the session query.** The key cannot be built
before the account is known. In the app the session is already fetched
at boot by many components, so this is a dependency rather than an extra
request, but it does serialize: on a cold boot the list waits for the
session to land. Every test that renders a company-list consumer now
needs a session in the cache, which is why several suites gained a seed.
**A missing mock surfaces as a passing gate rather than an error.** The
detach inside the query function meant suites whose `companiesApi` mock
lacked `detachInflightList` had their query function throw, which read
as "decided" in the onboarding gate and mounted the wizard early. Fixed
in the affected suites; worth knowing as a failure mode.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists. Refs #11380, #11382, #11417. The problem
follows.
**What happened?**
`CompanyProvider` auto-selects a company from the shared `["companies"]`
cache entry and writes that id to `localStorage`. Nothing ties that
entry to an account. When the account changes in the tab, the previous
account's list is still served, so the provider can select — and persist
— a company belonging to the account that just went away. Company-scoped
screens then render against a company the current account may not be
able to see.
Signing in through `Auth.tsx` invalidates the entry, so the in-app
sign-in path is covered. Two paths are not: a session that lapses
server-side, and a second account signing in on another tab. The
sign-out sweep in #11380 does not cover them either, because neither
presses the sign-out button.
**Expected behavior**
The company selection is derived only from a company list fetched for
the account that is signed in now.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. On a self-hosted instance in `authenticated` mode, sign in as account
A, which belongs to company X.
2. In a second tab, sign in as account B, which does not belong to
company X.
3. Return to the first tab. The session query refetches and reports
account B, while the company list is still account A's.
4. The provider keeps company X selected and leaves its id in
`localStorage`.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `6542ad1f4`.
## What Changed
- `ui/src/context/CompanyContext.tsx` — the provider observes
`queryKeys.auth.session`. On a change of session user it clears the live
selection, removes the shared company list, and holds auto-select until
a list fetched for the new account lands. The stored id is left alone on
purpose: `resolveBootstrapCompanySelection` re-validates it, so an
account signing back in keeps its company while an unrelated account
cannot inherit it.
- `ui/src/context/CompanyContext.tsx` — an errored list is treated as
undecided rather than as "no companies". With `retry: false` a single
network blip sticks, and the empty-list branch read it as proof the
account owns nothing and cleared the stored selection.
- `ui/src/api/client.ts` — new `detachInflightGet(path)`. GET coalescing
keys on the request path alone, so a `/companies` request issued under
the previous session could be joined by the replacement fetch and answer
it with the previous account's companies. Detaching leaves that request
to settle for its own callers and makes the next call issue a fresh one.
- `ui/src/api/companies.ts` — `companiesApi.detachInflightList()` wraps
that for the list path.
- `ui/src/context/CompanyContext.tsx` — `companyListUnavailable`
separates "no usable list because a request failed" from "this account
owns nothing", and `retryCompanies` gives a recovery action that
fetches. Both are derived from the query rather than tracked beside it;
a second copy of "did the last attempt succeed" drifted out of step
during review, reporting a failure over a later empty list that was
simply the truth.
- `ui/src/components/SidebarCompanyMenu.tsx` — renders "Couldn't load
companies" and a Try again item in place of "No companies", which is a
claim about the account that a failed request cannot support. This is
the menu `Sidebar` mounts, so it is the only place a customer can act on
the failure.
- `ui/src/components/CompanySwitcher.tsx` — the same treatment. The
application does not render this component (its only mount is a
Storybook story), so it is kept in step rather than relied on.
- `ui/src/context/CompanyContext.test.tsx`,
`ui/src/components/SidebarCompanyMenu.test.tsx`,
`ui/src/api/client.test.ts` — coverage for the account switch, a
same-account re-observation not churning, the detached GET, the failed
replacement and its recovery, a single blip self-healing, unavailability
not outliving the failure, and the sidebar rendering the recovery action
for a failure but plain "No companies" for an account that owns nothing.
### No `retry` override on the replacement fetch
The obvious fix for a failed replacement is a retry, and it is not
load-bearing here. A transient failure already gets a second attempt:
the observer rebinds to a fresh query on the render those state updates
schedule, and issues its own request — measured as two attempts with or
without the option. Retries would only add failed round trips before a
real outage is reported, and the outage is what needs a way out, which
is what `companyListUnavailable` and `retryCompanies` provide.
### Why `removeQueries` here, and why that does not generalise
Removal notifies no observer. What rebinds them at this call site is the
render the surrounding state updates schedule; every observer re-binds
to a fresh query on the next render. A caller without that guarantee
would leave mounted observers serving the previous account's value, so
this is not a pattern to lift elsewhere — the sign-out sweep in #11380
must use `resetQueries` instead, and its measurements are at
[#11380](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/11380#issuecomment-5300984911).
The inverse caveat holds for a local reset under an observer that stays
mounted, which is why #11417 and #11382 avoid `resetQueries`.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run` in `ui`: **4014 passed, 1 failed**.
- `pnpm tsc -b` in `ui`: clean.
- `CompanyContext.test.tsx`: 16 passed. `SidebarCompanyMenu.test.tsx`:
15 passed. `client.test.ts`: 9 passed.
The failure is pre-existing and unrelated: `IssueProperties.test.tsx`
expects `4:08 PM` and gets `9:08 AM`, a timezone-dependent assertion. It
reproduces on a tree without this change, and #11478 fixes it.
Each new test was confirmed to fail against the implementation it
covers, by reverting that change and re-running rather than by assuming.
The account-switch test fails without the fix (the selection stays on
the previous account's company and no refetch is issued); the
flag-clearing test fails without its clause (an empty list keeps reading
as "couldn't load").
**Not done:** no manual two-account run in a browser. The path needs two
accounts on an `authenticated` instance, which a local dev instance
cannot exercise.
## Risks
Low. The failure direction is a company selection withheld for one extra
round trip, which resolves when the list arrives. The direction it
removes is one account's company selected and persisted for another.
It adds one company-list request per account change, on a query key the
app already uses. It adds no request at boot: the session query it
observes is already fetched app-wide.
**This does not close the class.** Company-scoped entries other than the
list — `["companies", id]`, stats, and the rest of the per-account cache
— still survive an account change. That is the cache-lifetime work in
#11380, not this provider's.
## Model Used

An error is not an answer, and this branch is destructive.
`companiesListQueryOptions` sets `retry: false`, so a request that fails before
ever succeeding leaves `data` undefined - which `CompanyProvider` defaults to
`{ companies: [], unauthorized: false }`. That is indistinguishable from "this
account was asked, and owns nothing", so `shouldClearStoredCompanySelection`
returned true and the effect removed the customer's stored company. With
`refetchOnWindowFocus: true`, a blip on focus during a cold load was enough,
and the next visit drops them onto whichever company sorts first.
The predicate now takes `errored` and refuses to clear on it. Required rather
than optional, so the compiler made both existing call sites state their
answer instead of inheriting a default.
Not clearing costs nothing: a stored id that no longer resolves is ignored by
`resolveBootstrapCompanySelection`, which checks it against the current list
before using it. Clearing wrongly costs the customer's selection, which cannot
be recovered.
Scoped deliberately. This file had been described as carrying the same defect
as the onboarding draft gate and the sign-out sweep, and that was overstated.
Those two *trusted* a stale list to answer "does this account own this
company?". This one validates membership against the current list and only
picks a default, so a stale list here self-corrects rather than leaking. The
failed-request branch is the part that is genuinely wrong, and it is the only
part changed. The transient re-decision during a background refetch is real,
self-correcting, and left alone.
Tested at both levels, because the predicate alone would not have caught it:
the provider is what defaults a failed request to an empty list, so the wiring
is where the decision goes wrong. Removing the guard fails both.
ui typecheck clean; full ui suite 4016 pass, with only the timezone-dependent
IssueProperties failure already present on master.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip's agent-run detail view combines live lifecycle events,
detail queries, and persisted shell logs.
> - Queued runs do not have a log reference yet, so polling the log
endpoint returns expected-but-noisy 404s.
> - Simply disabling queued log polling can strand the selected detail
cache at `queued` or leave terminal lifecycle fields stale.
> - The detail cache therefore needs both live lifecycle patches and an
HTTP fallback while the run is active.
> - Both the selected-run query and the shared transcript hook must
avoid reading persisted logs before execution starts.
> - This pull request disables queued log polling in both paths, patches
lifecycle fields, invalidates authoritative detail data, and polls run
state only while active.
> - The benefit is quiet queued runs, reliable queued-to-running
transitions, and complete final log handoff.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No exact duplicate found. I searched open PRs for `queued run`, `log
polling`, and `run lifecycle`; related results addressed stale queued
execution or dashboards rather than selected-run log/detail
synchronization.
**What happened?**
Opening or rendering a queued run caused repeated `GET
/api/heartbeat-runs/:id/log` 404s from both the selected detail and
shared transcript hydration paths. A queued-only detail guard could also
leave the selected run stuck at `queued` when live delivery was missed,
or stop before fetching final `logRef` and terminal fields.
**Expected behavior**
Queued runs should not request unavailable logs. The selected detail
should transition through running to terminal via live events or bounded
HTTP fallback, refresh authoritative detail data, fetch final logs, and
then stop polling.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open the detail page for a run waiting behind the agent concurrency
limit.
2. Observe repeated log-endpoint 404s while status is queued.
3. Let the run start with WebSocket delivery unavailable or delayed.
4. Observe stale detail state without a run-detail fallback.
**Environment**
- Paperclip base: `14f20be92b86a49ff2c35495e5b0fa4d719998ef`
- Deployment: self-hosted, built from source
- Adapter scope: visible with Hermes-backed agents but not
adapter-specific
- [x] I searched open PRs for queued-run log polling and selected-run
lifecycle synchronization; no exact duplicate was found.
## What Changed
- Poll shell logs only while a run is `running`, never while `queued`.
- Defer shared persisted-transcript hydration and its live WebSocket
until a queued run becomes `running`; terminal runs still receive one
persisted-log hydration attempt.
- Patch selected run status, invocation metadata, errors, and
start/finish times from lifecycle events.
- Invalidate selected run detail on lifecycle events to hydrate
authoritative `logRef`, result, usage, and excerpts.
- Poll run detail every 5 seconds while queued and every 15 seconds
while running, then stop at terminal status.
- Add regression coverage for queued/running/terminal polling and
lifecycle cache handoff.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/context/LiveUpdatesProvider.test.ts
ui/src/pages/AgentDetail.progress.test.ts` — 42 passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
ui/src/components/transcript/useLiveRunTranscripts.test.tsx` — 11
passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build`
- Exact final diff independently reviewed: **APPROVE**, no blocking
findings.
- UI-only local cutover completed with the Paperclip server PID
unchanged.
## Risks
- The selected run performs one lightweight detail GET every 5 seconds
while queued and every 15 seconds while running if it remains open.
Polling stops at terminal status.
- Lifecycle events still patch immediately; polling is only the fallback
and authoritative hydration path.
- No API, schema, or migration changes.

selection in a synchronous loop until React throws error #185 ("Maximum
update depth exceeded") and unmounts the root to a blank page — armed by
remembered last-visited paths, back/forward navigation, or bookmarks, on
first load and client navigation alike
> - This pull request makes an already-selected company only need to
exist, keeping the sidebar filter for fresh-boot resolution where no
explicit selection exists
> - The benefit is that archived company URLs render instead of blanking
the entire app
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue. Description follows the bug template:
**What happened?**
Opening (or back-navigating to) a URL whose company prefix belongs to an
archived company blanked the whole app with `Minified React error #185`.
Console in dev mode: "Maximum update depth exceeded. This can happen
when a component calls setState inside useEffect…". A workspace whose
first/seeded company was archived hit this on every load of its
remembered URL.
**Expected behavior**
An archived company's URL renders its pages (the company still exists
and its API routes serve data). The sidebar simply does not feature
archived companies, and fresh boots still land on a non-archived
company.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create two companies; archive one (`PATCH /api/companies/:id` with
`status: "archived"`).
2. Navigate to `/{archivedPrefix}/dashboard` — direct load or
client-side back-navigation.
3. Before this fix: React #185 and an unmounted blank page (reproduced
deterministically by the new e2e test).
## What Changed
- `ui/src/context/CompanyContext.tsx`:
`resolveBootstrapCompanySelection` keeps an explicitly selected company
that exists in the full company list; stored-id and default resolution
still prefer sidebar (non-archived) companies.
- `ui/src/context/CompanyContext.test.tsx`: resolver keeps an
archived-but-existing selection; a truly deleted selection is still
replaced.
- `tests/e2e/archived-company-url.spec.ts`: end-to-end regression
driving both field shapes (direct load and back-navigation onto an
archived company URL); it failed with the exact #185 console errors
before the fix and passes after.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run src/context …` in `ui/` — 122 tests pass (includes
the new resolver cases).
- `npx playwright test --config tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts
archived-company-url` — fails before the fix (captured "Maximum update
depth exceeded" console errors), passes after.
- `pnpm typecheck` in `ui/` — clean.
## Risks
Low risk. The only behavioral change is that a selection naming an
archived-but-existing company survives the bootstrap repair — previously
that state was unreachable without crashing. Boots with no valid
selection behave exactly as before (non-archived preferred), covered by
the existing and new resolver tests.
## Model Used
- Claude (Anthropic), Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`), via Claude Code
CLI with extended thinking and tool use (code search, edit, test
execution, Playwright-driven crash reproduction).

## 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.

## Model Used
- 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.
> - The task detail page shows a breadcrumb header with the task status
glyph and the task title.
> - The breadcrumb did not show the task identifier, so a reader could
not name the task without opening extra context.
> - Agents and people refer to tasks by identifier, so the identifier
belongs next to the title.
> - This pull request renders the task identifier in the breadcrumb
header, between the status glyph and the title.
> - The benefit is faster reference: a reader sees the task key and the
title together at the top of the page.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The task detail breadcrumb header. It shows the status glyph and the
task title, but not the task identifier.
**Subsystem affected**
Web UI — the breadcrumb bar on the task detail page
(`ui/src/components/BreadcrumbBar.tsx`,
`ui/src/context/BreadcrumbContext.tsx`, `ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.tsx`).
**Current behavior**
The breadcrumb header renders the status glyph and then the task title.
The task identifier does not appear in the header.
**Proposed behavior**
The breadcrumb header renders the task identifier between the status
glyph and the title. The identifier uses gray monospace styling from
design tokens (`font-mono text-muted-foreground`).
**Reason and benefit**
A reader can name and reference the task from the header without opening
more context. The identifier and the title appear together.
**Breaking changes**
None. The identifier field is optional. Crumbs without an identifier
render as before.
## What Changed
- Add an optional `identifier` field to the `Breadcrumb` type and
include it in the `breadcrumbsEqual` comparison so an identifier change
triggers a fresh render.
- Add a `CrumbIdentifier` helper in `BreadcrumbBar` that renders the
identifier in gray monospace (`font-mono text-muted-foreground`), placed
after the leading status glyph in each crumb variant.
- Wire the issue identifier onto the task crumb in `IssueDetail`.
- Add unit tests that cover the identifier field in `breadcrumbsEqual`
(fresh render on change, no-op on identical value).
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates` → 3/3 gates CLEAN (color literals, arbitrary
bracket values, raw font-size).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/context/BreadcrumbContext.test.tsx` → 4/4 tests pass.
- `pnpm typecheck` → the four changed files typecheck clean.
- Manual: open a task detail page. The breadcrumb header shows the
status glyph, then the task identifier in gray monospace, then the
title.
Visual change. Snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated, per
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md` → "Per-change snapshot verification
demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)".
## Risks
Low risk. The change is additive and the identifier field is optional.
It touches only the breadcrumb header rendering and the equality check.
No data model or API change.
## Model Used

thinking enabled, tool use enabled.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane that lets humans govern companies of
AI agents.
> - Issue-thread interactions are the structured handoff point for
confirmations, questions, suggested tasks, and other governed decisions.
> - Those interactions previously assumed that only board users could
resolve them, preventing one agent from explicitly addressing another
agent for a response.
> - Agent resolution needs company-level governance, auditable resolver
identity, safe terminal-state handling, and attention routing so
authorization is enforced server-side rather than inferred from UI
behavior.
> - This pull request adds governed agent resolution, withdrawal and
terminal expiry semantics, explicit agent addressees, lifecycle
reconciliation, and attention-feed filtering.
> - The benefit is that agents can participate in structured decisions
without weakening board control, company isolation, wake behavior, or
audit invariants.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Subsystem affected
Issue-thread interactions across database, shared contracts, server
authorization/services, adapter callbacks, agent skill guidance, API
docs, and UI governance surfaces.
### Problem or motivation
Structured interactions were board-only, had no explicit agent
addressee, and lacked durable withdrawal/terminal-expiry semantics. That
made peer-agent decisions impossible to authorize and audit safely.
### Proposed solution
Persist requested/effective resolver policy and addressee identity,
enforce company governance and eligible agent resolution, reconcile
addressee lifecycle changes, expose withdrawal and terminal expiry, and
route attention to the intended active agent with board fallback.
### Alternatives considered
Implicitly authorizing the issue assignee or mentioned agents was
rejected as ambiguous and difficult to audit. Using comments alone was
rejected because it loses structured outcomes and continuation behavior.
### Roadmap alignment
Supports the ROADMAP direction for lightweight leadership-agent
communication that still resolves into governed decisions and work
objects.
### Additional context
Public GitHub issue/PR search found no duplicate implementation; open PR
search for interaction resolver governance and agent addressees only
returned this PR.
## What Changed
- Add company-scoped interaction resolver governance contracts and
persistence.
- Add requested/effective resolver policy, resolver identity,
withdrawal, and terminal-expiry behavior.
- Add explicit `addresseeAgentId` validation, authorization,
persistence, lifecycle reconciliation, API documentation, and skill
guidance.
- Route pending addressed interactions to the intended invokable agent
and fall back to board attention when that agent becomes ineligible or
is deleted.
- Preserve sandbox callback identity fields required by governed
resolution paths.
- Add migrations `0193` and `0194` plus route, service, attention,
adapter, CLI, and UI coverage.
- Add governance state and company settings UI, including responsive
mobile behavior and distinct withdrawn/expired audit presentation.
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed, including migration numbering and safety
checks.
- `pnpm test:run` — feature/server and UI workspace suites passed; one
unrelated CLI AWS doctor test observed injected static AWS credentials
and warned instead of passing.
- `env -u AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -u AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY pnpm exec vitest
run cli/src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts --project paperclipai` — 8 tests
passed, confirming the failure was environment-sensitive.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- Latest rebased head `e24cece6be9f1877bdbac7691bcb44fd583c0161`
completed all GitHub CI jobs successfully.
## Risks
- Migrations add interaction and company-governance fields; numbering is
conflict-free on current `master`, additive statements are idempotent,
and migration safety checks pass.
- Agent authorization behavior expands beyond board-only resolution, but
defaults remain board-only and coverage exercises company boundaries,
resolver eligibility, lifecycle invalidation, wake behavior, withdrawal,
expiry, and attention fallback.
- Attention routing depends on current agent invokability;
reconciliation and read-time filtering prevent stale addressees from
retaining visibility or resolution authority.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to organize,
govern, and understand AI-agent work
> - Operators need concise, current status views across projects and
execution workspaces without manually reading every issue and run
> - Paperclip already has auditable issues, documents, built-in agents,
routines, and live run events, but no first-class summary-slot workflow
connecting those systems
> - A built-in Summarizer can generate status prose through ordinary
governed tasks while summary slots provide stable, revisioned
destinations for that output
> - The UI needs to show current summaries, generation progress,
failures, revisions, and streaming draft status in the places operators
already work
> - This pull request adds the end-to-end summary-slot data, API, agent,
orchestration, and UI surfaces behind an experimental setting
> - The benefit is decision-oriented status context that remains
company-scoped, auditable, retryable, and inexpensive by default
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this feature.
**Problem**
Operators currently have to reconstruct project and workspace status by
reading many issues, runs, and comments. This makes it hard to identify
decisions, review queues, recent work, and the next event worth
watching.
**Proposed capability**
Add an experimental summary system with revisioned summary slots for
projects and workspaces, a paused-by-default built-in Summarizer agent,
governed generation tasks, live draft status, and reusable UI cards.
**Expected behavior**
- Summary data remains company-scoped and revisions remain auditable.
- Generation runs through normal issue/agent orchestration and
deduplicates active requests.
- Only the linked built-in Summarizer generation task can author a slot
revision.
- Operators can generate, retry, inspect revisions, and follow draft
progress from project and workspace views.
- The feature remains opt-in and background generation remains paused by
default.
## What Changed
- Added summary-slot schema, idempotent migrations, shared contracts,
validators, API paths, and service tests.
- Added company-scoped summary-slot routes for reading revisions,
requesting generation, and guarded Summarizer writes with activity
logging.
- Added terminal generation finalization, failure reasons, assignment
wakeups, and orchestration integration.
- Added the paused-by-default built-in Summarizer bundle, low-cost
runtime defaults, status-summarization skill, and stale-summary routine.
- Added summary cards, revision selection, retry/configuration states,
live draft streaming, transcript chunk handling, and project/workspace
integrations.
- Updated Claude local parsing for streamed status output and expanded
server, adapter, shared, database, catalog, and UI coverage.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/db/src/summary-slots-schema.test.ts
packages/shared/src/summary-slot.test.ts

ui/src/lib/summary-draft-stream.test.ts
ui/src/lib/run-log-chunks.test.ts
ui/src/context/LiveUpdatesProvider.hook.test.tsx` — 113 tests passed
- `pnpm test:run` — server and UI suites passed; one CLI AWS doctor test
was affected by inherited `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`/`AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`,
and passed when those host credentials were removed
- `pnpm exec vitest run cli/src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts` with
inherited AWS credential variables removed — 8 tests passed
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm check:token-gates` currently reports nine `#9627` comment
references introduced by current `master`; none are in this PR diff
## Risks
- Database risk is limited by incrementally ordered, idempotent
migrations and migration safety checks.
- Summary generation creates normal issues/runs, so misconfiguration can
produce failed slots; the UI exposes retryable failure reasons and agent
configuration entry points.
- Streaming draft parsing depends on the documented `STATUS:` protocol;
final persisted revisions remain the source of truth.
- The feature is experimental, opt-in, and its built-in routine is
paused with no background token spend by default.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Its web UI keeps live views fresh with React Query, coordinated by a
live-events websocket (`/api/companies/:id/events/ws`) and cross-tab
polling
> - We already cut the worst live-update churn (#9569, #9624), but the
deeper issue is that even the "push" path is *push-the-signal,
pull-the-data*: a websocket event triggers `invalidateQueries` → an HTTP
refetch
> - The company live-runs list (`queryKeys.liveRuns`) is the
most-observed resource — the sidebar renders it on nearly every page —
so its refetch is the most ambient source of churn, fired on every
`heartbeat.run.queued` / `heartbeat.run.status` event
> - Those events already carry enough (`runId`, `status`) to update the
cached list directly, so this pull request event-sources that list
instead of refetching it
> - The benefit is that the always-observed live-runs list stops
refetching on run lifecycle events — the first concrete step of the
push-over-poll redesign
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists; describing inline per CONTRIBUTING.md →
"Link Issues or Describe Them In-PR", following the bug report template.
This continues the memory/CPU-churn work from #9569 and #9624.
**What happened?**
Live agent-run tabs accrue high idle CPU and off-heap memory because
live-update events cause HTTP refetches. Profiling showed the company
live-runs list — observed on almost every page via the sidebar — being
refetched on every run status change, one of the most frequent ambient
refetches.
**Expected behavior**
A websocket event that already carries the changed data should update
the cached list directly, without an HTTP round-trip, so the
always-observed live-runs list does no refetch on routine run lifecycle
events.
**Steps to reproduce**
Open the app with agents running and watch the network panel: `GET
/api/companies/:id/live-runs` fires on each `heartbeat.run.status` /
`heartbeat.run.queued` event even though the event payload already
describes the change.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Branch `perf/live-runs-event-sourced`, off `master` (after #9624).
**Deployment mode**
Local dev (`pnpm dev`), web UI. Core UI live-updates plumbing; not
adapter-specific.
## What Changed
- **`ui/src/lib/live-runs-cache.ts` (new)** — pure `removeRunFromList` /
`patchRunStatusInList` helpers for the cached `LiveRunForIssue[]`.
- **`ui/src/context/LiveUpdatesProvider.tsx`** — on
`heartbeat.run.queued` / `heartbeat.run.status`, patch
`liveRuns(companyId)` in place instead of invalidating it:
- terminal status → remove the run from the list,
- status change on a run already in the list → update it in place,
- a genuinely new run (can't be reconstructed from the event) → fall
back to a single `invalidateQueries` refetch.
- Removed the blanket `liveRuns` invalidation from
`invalidateHeartbeatQueries`.
- On websocket **reconnect**, refetch `liveRuns` once to reconcile
events missed while disconnected (durable replay is a later phase).
- Other resources these events invalidate (`dashboard`, `costs`,
`sidebarBadges`, `agents.list`, agent detail) are unchanged — they're
lower-frequency / less-often-observed and are follow-up phases. This
keeps the change scoped and **client-only** (no server changes).
## Verification
- `vitest`: new `live-runs-cache.test.ts` (remove/patch/no-op/undefined)
and new lifecycle-handler cases in `LiveUpdatesProvider.test.ts`
(terminal→remove, present→patch, new→needs-refetch) via
`__liveUpdatesTestUtils`. All existing `LiveUpdatesProvider` tests still
pass (33 total across the two files).
- `tsc -b` clean.
- Runtime: the event-sourced path is covered by unit tests; end-to-end
refetch reduction should be re-measured against a rebuilt bundle with
the network panel / MCP instrumentation.
## Risks
Low, and client-only.
- **Staleness across a dropped connection:** an event missed while the
socket is down isn't replayed yet, so the reconnect handler refetches
`liveRuns` once to reconcile. Durable event replay (Last-Event-ID) is a
planned later phase; until then reconnect-reconcile covers the gap.
- **New-run fallback:** a genuinely new run still triggers one refetch
(it can't be reconstructed from the event alone), so no new runs are
missed.
- Aggregate resources (dashboard/costs/badges) are untouched and still
invalidate (already coalesced), so their behavior is unchanged.
Follow-up phases (from the design discussion): event-source
`activity`/comments and the remaining class-B resources; give pure-poll
resources events and drop their intervals; add durable event sequence +
reconnect replay; and a shared bus (Postgres `LISTEN/NOTIFY`) only when
the API tier scales to >1 replica.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Its web UI keeps live views (issue threads, run transcripts,
dashboard) fresh via React Query polling plus a live-events websocket,
coordinated across tabs with a `BroadcastChannel` layer
> - Long-lived tabs viewing live agent runs grew to multi-GB memory
footprints while their JS heap stayed ~60–200 MB — so the memory is
off-heap (Blink/native + committed allocator arenas), not a classic JS
leak
> - Live profiling of a reproduced 2.7 GB / 66 MB tab showed 15–30% idle
CPU, ~3 fetches/sec across overlapping poll loops, and ~8 `setInterval`
create/clear cycles per second whose rate grew ~7× as the tab aged —
relentless allocation churn that inflates committed memory the OS never
reclaims, amplified across tabs by the cross-tab fan-out
> - This pull request cuts that churn at its four largest sources
(invalidation storm, per-instance 1 s timers, redundant polling,
unbounded streamed-run set)
> - The benefit is that idle tabs do far less periodic work, so their
off-heap footprint stops ballooning over a long session
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists; describing inline per CONTRIBUTING.md →
"Link Issues or Describe Them In-PR", following the bug report template.
**What happened?**
Browser tabs viewing live agent runs grew to 8–16 GB memory footprint
over a long session (multiple tabs open), while each tab's "live" JS
heap stayed only ~150–250 MB. Every idle tab also burned 15–30% CPU.
Tabs eventually approached the ~4 GB V8 heap ceiling / OS pressure and
could crash.
**Expected behavior**
Tabs viewing live runs should hold a bounded footprint and do minimal
work while idle, regardless of how long they stay open or how many tabs
are open.
**Steps to reproduce**
Open several issue/run tabs that have agents actively streaming and
leave them open for a while. Watch Chrome's Task Manager: Memory
Footprint climbs into the GBs while "JavaScript Memory" stays small, and
CPU stays high on idle tabs. Reproduced in ~90 minutes: a tab reached
2.7 GB footprint on a 66 MB JS heap, and the per-second timer-churn rate
was ~7× higher on a 90-minute-old tab than a fresh one.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Branch `fix/live-updates-churn`, off `master`.
**Deployment mode**
Local dev (`pnpm dev`), web UI. Not adapter-specific — core UI
live-updates plumbing (observed with `claude_local` / `codex_local`
runs).
## What Changed
- **`ui/src/lib/query-invalidation-batcher.ts` (new)** —
`createInvalidationBatcher` throttles + de-dupes React Query
invalidations into one flush per ~300 ms, and
`createCoalescingQueryClient` wraps the client via a `Proxy` so only
`invalidateQueries` is batched (optimistic `setQueryData` writes stay
immediate). Wired into `LiveUpdatesProvider`, which previously
invalidated synchronously on every websocket event.
- **`ui/src/hooks/useSecondTick.ts` (new)** — one shared, ref-counted,
page-wide 1 s ticker. `useLiveElapsed` in `IssueChatThread` now uses it
instead of a per-instance `setInterval` that forced a full-thread
re-render every second per live element.
- **`ui/src/components/transcript/useLiveRunTranscripts.ts`** — when the
realtime websocket is enabled, the recurring log poll backs off to a 30
s safety-net cadence instead of polling every 2 s on top of the live
stream. Added a marker for the durable poll→push rearchitecture.
- **`ui/src/lib/issueChatTranscriptRuns.ts`** —
`resolveIssueChatTranscriptRuns` now caps the streamed run set
(live/active runs always kept; most-recent linked runs fill up to 20) so
a large run history can't open a live-transcript poll per historical
run.
- **`ui/src/main.tsx`** — explicit `gcTime` so cross-tab-published cache
entries for unobserved resources are collected promptly.
- Tests for the batcher, shared ticker, and run cap.
## Verification
- `vitest`: new suites `query-invalidation-batcher.test.ts` (batcher
collapses 20 invalidations → 1 flush; keeps distinct keys/variants;
dispose cancels; proxy passes non-invalidate methods through),
`useSecondTick.test.tsx` (single ref-counted timer, stops when idle),
`issueChatTranscriptRuns.test.ts` (cap keeps newest + live). All pass.
- Existing affected suites pass: `LiveUpdatesProvider` (23),
`IssueChatThread` (), `useLiveRunTranscripts`,
`AgentDetail.instructions` — 109 tests across affected files.
- `tsc -b` clean.
- Behavior confirmed by live profiling before the change (2.7 GB / 66 MB
tab, ~8 interval churns/sec growing 7× with age). Runtime churn
reduction should be re-measured against a rebuilt bundle with the same
instrumentation.
## Risks
Low-to-moderate; all changes reduce work rather than add features.
- **Invalidation batching** delays live-driven refetches by up to ~300
ms. Optimistic `setQueryData` writes (e.g. the visible issue's new
comment) remain immediate, so foreground updates still feel instant;
only the safety-net refetch is throttled. Non-live invalidations (user
actions, mutations) are unaffected — they use the real client.
- **Poll back-off** relies on the websocket as the live source when
realtime is enabled; a 30 s fallback poll still covers gaps/reconnects
(both the transcript hook and `LiveUpdatesProvider` also
auto-reconnect).
- **Run cap (20)** means an issue with a very large run history streams
live transcripts only for its live/active + 20 most-recent runs; older
runs still open normally via their run pages.
- Downstream test fallout (timing-sensitive tests around
invalidation/polling) may need adjustment — flagged intentionally for
follow-up.
Durable follow-up (out of scope, marked in code): replace transcript/run
polling with server push (SSE/websocket deltas) so idle tabs do no
periodic work at all.
## Model Used

and profile the memory/CPU churn on a live instance.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for autonomous AI companies, where
operators need a reliable way to find and act on work awaiting their
input.
> - The attention and issue-thread interaction subsystems expose those
decision points across server APIs and the board UI.
> - The previous navigation and interaction presentation left these
actions fragmented and did not offer a controlled rollout for the
Decisions surface.
> - This branch adds the attention feed, richer interaction cards,
grouping, dismiss/snooze behavior, and a gated Decisions sidebar entry.
> - It also keeps experimental settings and API contracts synchronized,
with an idempotent migration for the new dismissal state.
> - This pull request delivers the complete, tested attention/Decisions
experience as one reviewable unit.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Adds an operator-focused attention queue and Decisions experience:
grouped decision cards, semantic interaction actions, dismiss/snooze
handling, resilient interaction states, and an experimental flag to
control the Decisions navigation entry.
## Feature Context
### Problem or Motivation
Operators currently have to hunt across approvals, interactions, failed
runs, and budget alerts to find decisions that need their action.
### Proposed Solution
Provide a gated Decisions attention queue that groups actionable items,
supports direct resolution, and preserves operator control through
dismiss and snooze actions.
### Alternatives Considered
Keep separate, source-specific views only; this leaves cross-cutting
operator decisions fragmented and harder to prioritize.
### Roadmap Alignment
This improves the V1 control-plane operator workflow by making pending
governed actions discoverable in one company-scoped surface.
## What Changed
- Added server attention-feed services, routes, interaction handling,
dismiss/snooze support, and an idempotent `0145` inbox-dismissal
migration.
- Added shared attention, inbox-dismissal, and experimental-settings
contracts.
- Added Decisions/attention UI, interaction-card states, sidebar
badge/navigation integration, grouping, keyboard support, and Storybook
coverage.
- Added tests for attention behavior, thread interactions, settings
normalization, dismissals, and API behavior.
- Removed generated screenshots from the final PR diff and rebased the
branch onto current `master`.
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/shared/src/issue-thread-interactions.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/attention-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/inbox-dismissals.test.ts

ui/src/lib/attention.test.ts
ui/src/components/AttentionQueueRow.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssueThreadInteractionCard.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/InstanceExperimentalSettings.test.tsx` — passed: 158 tests
across 9 focused files.
- GitHub Actions for `ad636f560`: build and typecheck/release-registry
have passed; remaining general-server and Greptile checks are in
progress.
## Risks
- Moderate: this is a cross-layer attention/interaction feature with a
new migration and navigation behavior.
- The `enableDecisions` experimental setting defaults to off, limiting
rollout impact.
- Existing dismissal data is backfilled to `dismiss`; the migration is
idempotent and uses guarded constraint creation.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The board UI includes an agents sidebar so operators can see which
agents are currently active.
> - That sidebar depends on live-run polling, heartbeat events, and
cross-tab cache sharing to stay current without overloading the API.
> - The sidebar was visually churning because agents could leave the
live section immediately after a run ended, while progress events and
cross-tab broadcasts kept forcing hot query updates.
> - This pull request stabilizes live sidebar membership and makes
shared polling broadcasts monotonic/deduplicated.
> - The benefit is a calmer operator sidebar that still reflects real
live state without flashing between stale and fresh snapshots.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this operator-facing bug.
Bug summary:
- What happened: the agents sidebar could flash or reshuffle around
active agents while live-run and heartbeat data was updating.
- Expected behavior: active and recently-active agents should remain
visually stable, and cross-tab cache sharing should not overwrite
fresher data with older snapshots.
- Reproduction context: run Paperclip with multiple tabs or rapid
live-run/progress updates and watch the agents sidebar while agents
enter/leave live execution.
- Deployment mode: local/operator board UI.
Related PR:
- Supersedes #9357, which carried the same fixes on a branch/title/body
that were not suitable for public contribution hygiene.
## What Changed
- Restored the maintainer-only warning wording in the developer skill
guide so the existing server skill-utils CI gate passes on current
master.
- Added a 120-second linger window for streamlined sidebar agent rows so
an agent does not immediately disappear from the live section as soon as
its last run ends.
- Deferred the recent-agent fallback until there are no live or
lingering agents, while keeping the live badge tied only to
actually-live runs.
- Stopped broad live-runs/heartbeats/agents-list invalidation on every
run progress event, while preserving targeted agent-detail invalidation.
- Added producer timestamps to cross-tab shared polling result messages
so older-or-equal snapshots are dropped before `setQueryData`.
- Added per-resource broadcast dedupe/rate limiting so tabs do not
rebroadcast equivalent cached data in a loop.
- Added focused coverage for sidebar linger behavior, staggered
multi-agent linger expiry, live update invalidation scope, shared
polling timestamp handling, and cross-tab broadcast dedupe.
## Verification
Run locally on the rebased PR branch:
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/SidebarAgents.test.tsx
src/context/LiveUpdatesProvider.test.ts` — 44 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/lib/cross-tab-poll.test.ts src/hooks/useSharedPolling.test.ts` — 10
tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — exit code 0.
## Risks
- Low migration risk: the sidebar/polling changes are UI/client cache
behavior only, with no database or API contract changes.
- Sidebar visibility now intentionally lingers for 120 seconds after the
last live run; stale rows could remain briefly visible, but their live
badge is removed when they are no longer actually live.
- Cross-tab broadcasts are now more conservative; a missed publish
should be corrected by the next normal poll or accepted newer timestamp.

## Model Used

API model identifier and context-window size are not exposed in this
environment. The agent used terminal/tool execution for repository
inspection, focused tests, branch preparation, and PR creation.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The board currently uses issues for execution, but longer-lived
content work needs a separate object that can survive beyond a single
task thread.
> - The Cases subsystem adds an experimental, company-scoped record for
content artifacts and their supporting metadata.
> - The backend needs durable storage, API routes, revision history,
issue linkage, and company-boundary enforcement before the UI can depend
on Cases.
> - The UI needs an opt-in navigation surface, list/detail views,
reference chips, and issue-page context so operators can inspect Cases
without making them the default workflow.
> - The agent-facing skills need a contract for creating and updating
Cases so automated content workflows can dogfood the feature.
> - This pull request ships that experimental end-to-end path behind the
`enableCases` flag.
> - The benefit is a first-class place to collect content work,
references, attachments, revisions, and related execution threads
without polluting the core issue model.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this experimental feature.
Feature request fields:
### Problem
Content-oriented work such as release notes, announcements, docs, and
campaigns can span many execution issues, which makes the final artifact
hard to find and reason about after the execution thread moves on.
### Proposed solution
Add an experimental Cases object that is company-scoped, linked to
issues, queryable through the API, inspectable in the board UI, and
writable by agent workflows through documented conventions.
### Alternatives considered
Continue encoding content artifacts directly in issues or documents
only. That keeps the data model smaller, but it does not give operators
a stable artifact-centric view or a clean way to link related execution
history.
### Roadmap alignment
Checked `ROADMAP.md`; this PR does not duplicate an existing planned
core roadmap item.
## What Changed
- Added the `cases` data model, migration, schema exports, and
experimental `enableCases` instance setting.
- Added company-scoped Cases API routes for list/detail/update, issue
links, revisions, children, activity events, annotations, attachments,
and idempotent agent-oriented upserts.
- Scoped case and issue lookup helpers before access checks so
inaccessible cross-company identifiers resolve as not found rather than
leaking existence.
- Fixed case PATCH timestamp handling so non-status updates cannot
overwrite `completedAt` from a stale pre-transaction row snapshot.
- Moved Cases list type/status/project filters into the server request
before the server-side limit is applied, including multi-select filters
and no-project filtering.
- Added backend route coverage for creation, updates, idempotency, issue
linking, attribution, company-boundary enforcement, OpenAPI
registration, list filtering, timestamp patch behavior, and inaccessible
lookup regressions.
- Added the experimental Cases UI surface: sidebar entry, gated routes,
list filters/grouping, detail overview, activity, revisions, children,
attachments, and issue-page case rail.
- Added case reference rendering and company-prefixed case href
generation so case links resolve directly inside the active company
route.
- Added Paperclip skill documentation for agent workflows that create or
update Cases.
- Wired release-content skills to emit Cases for dogfooding.
- Rebased onto current `master` and renumbered the Cases migrations to
`0143`/`0144` after the latest upstream migration sequence.
## Verification
- Current PR head: `ecc13be0d`.
- Rebased on current `master` (`606aa4f266`) and pushed to the existing
PR branch.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed before the first
update push; subsequent committed diffs were also checked with `git diff
--check` before commit.
- Guardrails checked: no `pnpm-lock.yaml` changes, no
`.github/workflows` changes, and changed-file count is below the
Greptile 100-file limit.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/cases-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts` — passed, 3 files / 26 tests
before review-fix commits.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/cases-routes.test.ts` — passed after each server-side
Greptile fix, latest 1 file / 15 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed after the
timestamp and lookup fixes.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/pages/Cases.test.tsx src/pages/CaseDetail.test.tsx
src/pages/CompanySkills.test.tsx src/App.cases-routing.test.tsx` —
passed, 4 files / 30 tests before review-fix commits.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/pages/Cases.test.tsx` — passed after the list-filter fix, 1 file /
12 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed after the
list-filter fix.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed after UI changes.
- Remote PR checks on head `ecc13be0d` are green: Paperclip CI, build,
typecheck, test matrix, e2e, Canary Dry Run, policy, commit review,
Superagent Security Scan, Socket, Snyk, and Greptile passed; Storybook
visual regression is skipped and security-review is neutral.
- Greptile Review: 5/5 confidence, zero unresolved Greptile threads.
## Risks
- Medium feature risk because this introduces a new experimental domain
object across database, server, shared contracts, skills, and UI.
- The feature is gated behind `enableCases`, which limits default
operator exposure while the model is exercised.
- Case links now prefer company-prefixed hrefs; the unprefixed redirect
remains for externally entered URLs.
- Cases list filtering now sends multi-select filters to the server
before limiting; the UI still applies the same local filters as a second
pass for ancestor/context rows.
- Migrations were renumbered on top of current master; the SQL uses
guarded `IF NOT EXISTS` / `ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS` patterns where
relevant for safer replay.

## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 Codex in the Paperclip local coding environment was used
for this PR curation, rebase verification, review-fix implementation,
push, and PR description update. The runtime exposes tool use and shell
execution; context-window size is not exposed by this Paperclip adapter.
Several implementation commits also include AI co-author trailers
recorded in git history.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents run in heartbeat runs orchestrated by the server; run
lifecycle, retry scheduling, and the dashboard's run-activity metrics
are the subsystems involved
> - A spike in "failed" tasks traced to three causes: server restarts
killing in-flight runs and mislabeling them as failures, deterministic
workspace-validation loops when a worktree's branch diverged, and
provider quota/usage-limit errors being classified as generic transient
failures (putting agents into error state and polluting metrics)
> - Killed-then-recovered runs and quota waits are not product failures,
so both the runtime behavior and the reporting needed to distinguish
them
> - This pull request drains runs gracefully on shutdown with idempotent
restart retries, self-heals workspace branch mismatches, adds a
quota-aware failure class with reset-time retry, separates recovered
restart kills from true failures on the dashboard, and documents restart
hygiene for operators
> - The benefit is fewer spurious failures, automatic recovery instead
of manual repair, and dashboard metrics that reflect real failure rates
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists; describing the bug inline per the
bug-report template:
**What happened?**
In-flight heartbeat runs are marked `failed` when the server restarts,
even though a retry later succeeds. Worktrees whose checked-out branch
diverges from the issue branch fail workspace validation on every
subsequent run with no recovery path. Provider quota/usage-limit
responses are treated as generic transient upstream errors, putting
agents into an error state and retrying before the quota window resets.
The dashboard counts all of these as true failures, inflating failure
metrics.
**Expected behavior**
Graceful shutdown should interrupt (not fail) running runs and chain
exactly one recovery retry. Workspace validation should repair
recoverable branch mismatches automatically. Quota errors should get
their own error class with the retry scheduled at the provider reset
time and the agent left idle. The dashboard should report recovered
restart kills separately from true failures.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a heartbeat run, then restart the server (SIGTERM) while it is
in flight — the run lands as `failed` with a process-loss error code
even when its retry succeeds
2. Check out an issue whose worktree branch has diverged (e.g. after a
force-moved branch) — every subsequent run fails
`workspace_validation_failed` deterministically
3. Drive an agent into a provider usage-limit window — the run fails as
a generic transient upstream error and the agent enters an error state
instead of idling until the reset time
**Paperclip version or commit**
master (base c07e650cd)
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted dev plane (Linux, node server + embedded Postgres)
## What Changed
- Graceful shutdown (SIGTERM hook) now marks in-flight runs
`interrupted` instead of `failed` and enqueues an idempotent
process-loss retry (pre-insert existence check on `retryOfRunId`
prevents duplicates; bursts chain exactly one retry per interrupted run)
- Run-liveness classification routes `interrupted` to `needs_followup`
rather than `failed`
- Workspace validation self-heals branch mismatch / missing-branch
states instead of failing deterministically on every run
- New `provider_quota` error class: session/usage-limit responses
schedule the retry at the provider reset time and leave the agent idle
(not errored); fixes a case where a quota-terminated run with subtype
`success` was misclassified as failed; HTTP 529 remains transient
- Dashboard run-activity query separates recovered restart kills from
true failures via a recursive CTE over `retry_of_run_id` (ancestors of a
succeeded retry count as recovered), adds a per-day failed-by-error-code
breakdown, and binds the window start as a timestamptz string
- Activity charts UI: amber "Recovered" segment with legend and per-day
error-code tooltip; success-rate chart counts recovered runs as
successes
- New ops runbook: `docs/deploy/dev-plane-restart-hygiene.md`
## Verification
- Greptile follow-up fixes on `992705edd`: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-finalize-branch.test.ts` (209
tests); `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`; `git diff
--check`
- Post-rebase CI fixes: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts`; `pnpm exec
vitest run server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-finalize-branch.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts` (227 tests);
`pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `npm test` server suites covering the changes:
`heartbeat-process-recovery`, `heartbeat-stop-metadata`,
`heartbeat-retry-scheduling` (95 tests), quota parse +
execute/retry-scheduling suites (100 tests), workspace self-heal suites
(200 tests), dashboard run-activity tests (3 tests) — all green,
typecheck exit 0
- Dashboard CTE cross-checked against a real development database: two
restart-burst days moved from 17 to 8 and 19 to 6 true failures once
recovered kills were separated, matching manual retry-chain inspection
- Screenshot verification of the real ActivityCharts component
(recovered segment + tooltip) during QA
## Risks
- Behavioral shift: runs killed by a restart no longer surface as
`failed`; anyone consuming raw run statuses will see `interrupted` (new
status value) — dashboards/queries in this repo were updated accordingly
- Retry chaining on repeated restarts is bounded (one chained retry per
interruption) but a pathological restart loop still delays work rather
than failing it; the runbook covers operator hygiene for that case
- Dashboard query adds a recursive CTE; cost is bounded by the
day-window row count and was verified against production-sized data
- No schema migrations; low migration risk
## Model Used
- Claude (Anthropic) — claude-fable-5 via Claude Code / Paperclip agent
harness, extended thinking with tool use; implementation commits also
produced with Codex CLI (GPT-5 class) agents under the same harness

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

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
## Risks
Low risk. The PR is limited to UI workflow components/helpers and their
tests. Main behavioral risks are keyboard shortcut edge cases across
browsers and fallback editor rendering, both covered by focused tests.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-based coding agent (`gpt-5` family; exact served
variant and context window are not exposed in this runtime), with
terminal, Git, GitHub, and test execution tools.

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A core part of that experience is watching active agent runs without
dropping into raw logs first
> - Local and sandbox-backed adapters already record useful run output,
progress, and tool activity
> - But active issue threads could sit visually stale while the agent
was syncing workspaces, tailing sandbox output, or emitting incremental
tool-call updates
> - Operators need timely, human-readable progress while preserving the
raw transcript underneath
> - This pull request streams sandbox run-log progress into runtime
status, keeps visible issue threads refreshed, and folds repeated ACPX
tool updates into stable transcript cards
> - The benefit is that long-running agent work becomes easier to
supervise without changing the task/comment control-plane model
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this exact change.
Problem/motivation:
- During long-running sandboxed agent work, the issue UI can appear idle
even though the agent is actively syncing, running tools, or producing
incremental output.
- Operators need realtime feedback at the issue-thread layer, not only
after opening raw logs or waiting for the final heartbeat result.
- Related public context: #1808 previously added live-run status dots to
Projects; #4362 touches heartbeat wakeup behavior but is not a duplicate
of this runtime/UI feedback change.
## What Changed
- Added sandbox run-log streaming support and defaulted sandbox-capable
local adapters into the richer live-feedback path.
- Surfaced environment/sandbox sync progress through heartbeat runtime
status with bounded, redacted snippets.
- Added live issue-thread cache patching so visible active runs update
as progress events arrive.
- Folded repeated ACPX `tool_call` updates into one transcript card
instead of stacking duplicate cards.
- Updated adapter docs and added focused regression coverage for sandbox
log streaming, runtime status, ACPX parsing, live updates, transcript
rendering, and issue chat messages.
## Verification

- GitHub PR workflow on head `8397953e7b41ccd42e5d9457ee7e4dfb996e4ec5`:
`verify`, build, typecheck/release-registry, e2e, general shards,
serialized server shards, and canary dry run passed.
- Greptile Review on head `8397953e7b41ccd42e5d9457ee7e4dfb996e4ec5`:
Confidence Score 5/5, no unresolved review threads.
## Risks
- Live issue-thread cache patching could miss an edge case for a route
shape not covered by tests.
- Surfacing active-run snippets needs continued care around redaction;
this PR keeps snippets bounded and adds redaction-focused coverage.
- More frequent active-run UI refreshes could expose performance issues
on very large issue threads, though updates are scoped to visible
run/query caches.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 via Codex, operating as a tool-enabled coding agent with
shell, git, and repository-editing capabilities. Context window size is
not exposed in this runtime.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Sandboxed agent runs can spend meaningful time preparing a remote
workspace before the agent transcript shows useful output.
> - Operators need short, current progress text for those setup phases,
but that text should not become durable run history.
> - The existing live-run websocket path already carries run updates to
the UI, so the backend can reuse that channel instead of adding polling.
> - This pull request adds an ephemeral runtime-progress contract, a
process-local status store, and heartbeat integration for
sandbox-managed runs.
> - The benefit is a clearer active-run experience without database
migrations or persistent progress rows.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #248
No exact public GitHub issue was found for this status-message plumbing.
The underlying problem is that active sandboxed runs currently have
setup phases, such as workspace sync and restore, where the operator
cannot see concise current progress through the live run state. This PR
addresses that gap for the backend/runtime layer while keeping progress
messages ephemeral.
GitHub search performed for related or duplicate work: `sandbox runtime
status`, `sandbox restore index`, and `runtime progress`. No direct
duplicate PR was found.
## What Changed
- Added shared runtime-progress types and the `heartbeat.run.progress`
live event type.
- Added a process-local heartbeat run runtime-status store with TTL,
bounded/redacted messages, and terminal cleanup.
- Threaded runtime progress callbacks through heartbeat execution and
active/live run serialization.
- Emitted sandbox-managed runtime phase updates for sync, adapter
startup, restore/export, and finalization paths.
- Added backend and adapter-utils tests for ephemeral status behavior,
terminal cleanup, live serialization, and sandbox progress callbacks.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- Local PII scan before push: high-confidence secret patterns, internal
issue links, local user paths, and private URL patterns checked across
all three split diffs; no real secrets or internal links found. The only
secret-like text is an intentional fake test fixture (`sk-test-secret`).
- `git diff --check origin/master..feat/sandbox-runtime-status`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/heartbeat-run-runtime-status.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-runtime-state.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/agent-live-run-routes.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts` — 4 files,
23 tests passed.
- `pnpm run typecheck` passed on both top stacks that include this
branch: `feat/sandbox-status-ui` and `fix/sandbox-restore-index-sync`.
- `pnpm run build` passed on both top stacks that include this branch;
Vite reported existing CSS `::highlight` and chunk-size warnings.
- `pnpm run test:run` was attempted on `fix/sandbox-restore-index-sync`;
it failed in two unrelated broad-suite tests. One depends on this host's
Git default branch behavior, and one depends on local Claude
model-discovery environment. The changed focused suites above pass.
## Risks
- Runtime progress is process-local by design, so status disappears
after TTL, terminal cleanup, or server restart.
- Clients that do not consume `heartbeat.run.progress` simply keep
existing behavior.
- Message redaction is intentionally generic; overly specific phase
details should stay out of runtime-progress payloads.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work, and task status is one of the most-scanned signals across its
whole UI.
> - The Tasks UI shows status through small coloured ring icons and
chips spread across the list, kanban, task detail, the properties
flyout, inline `@`-mentions and the breadcrumb.
> - Those ring glyphs lean heavily on colour to distinguish states,
which is hard to read for colour-blind users, and the status hues were
hard-coded in component classes rather than a single source.
> - We want color-blind-safe, distinct *shapes* per status plus a single
`--status-*` colour-token system the chips and icons share.
> - This pull request adds a unified `StatusGlyph` (one shape per
status) and the `--status-*` colour-token system, and adopts them across
every task-status surface so the new glyphs + colours render by default.
> - The benefit is a more accessible, consistent status language with
one source of truth for status hues.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This is a **feature** (no public issue filed). Following the feature
issue template:
- **Problem / motivation:** Task status is communicated mostly by colour
(ring fills/borders), which is hard to distinguish for colour-blind
users, and the status hues are duplicated across component classes with
no single source of truth. Several community PRs have nibbled at parts
of this (see related PRs below).
- **Proposed solution:** A single `StatusGlyph` component with a
distinct *shape* per status (not just colour), backed by a `--status-*`
CSS-variable colour system (base hues + AA-tuned icon hues +
`.status-chip` / `.status-fill` color-mix helpers), adopted across all
task-status surfaces.
- **Alternatives considered:** Recolouring the existing rings in place
(rejected — still colour-only, no shape differentiation).
- **Roadmap alignment:** Additive UI only; no overlap with planned core
work.

not duplicates):

- Refs #1760 — Improve design of cancelled task status icon
- Refs #1856 — a11y title/aria-label on status and priority icons
## What Changed
- **Colour token system:** `--status-agent-*` / `--status-task-*` base
hues, AA-tuned `--status-task-icon-*` hues (light + dark), and
`.status-chip` / `.status-fill` color-mix helpers in `index.css`;
matching status→CSS-var maps in `status-colors.ts`.
- **`StatusGlyph`** — one `viewBox="0 0 24 24"` glyph per status with
distinct, color-blind-safe shapes (dashed ring, open ring, half-fill,
ring+dot, disc+check, ring+bar, ring+slash, and `in_queue` = the blocked
shape recoloured blue). Sizes `sm`/`md`/`lg`.
- **Adoption (renders by default)** across `StatusIcon`, `StatusBadge`
(agent + issue chips), `MarkdownBody` inline mentions, `IssueRow`,
`IssuesList`, `IssueProperties`, `BreadcrumbBar` + `BreadcrumbContext`,
and the task-detail header/breadcrumb.
- **Tests** for `StatusGlyph`, `StatusIcon`, `StatusBadge`, `IssueRow`,
`IssuesList`, `MarkdownBody` lock the rendered behaviour.
Scope notes: no experimental flag and no Theme Editor surfaces. The
generic `StatusBadge` (runs/goals/approvals) is unchanged.
Project-status recolour is deferred (no in-scope consumer).
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared build` — green (tsc).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` — green (tsc + vite).
- Targeted unit tests green: `StatusGlyph`, `StatusIcon`, `StatusBadge`,
`IssueRow`, `IssuesList`, `MarkdownBody`, plus consumer suites that
render these (`IssueProperties`, `IssueDetail`, `Search`,
`IssueChatThread`, `IssueFiltersPopover`, `InterruptHandoffViews`) — all
passing.
- Remaining: interactive light + dark visual confirmation across list /
kanban / detail / properties / inline mentions / breadcrumb. The glyph
shapes + AA-tuned hues were previously QA'd on the originating feature
branch.
## Risks
Low risk. Additive UI: a new component + CSS tokens, adopted at existing
status call sites. The generic `StatusBadge` and all non-status UI are
untouched; no schema/migration changes. Behaviour is exercised by unit +
consumer test suites.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents rely on local skills, provider-backed secrets, and workspace
file previews during normal execution.
> - Local skill imports need bounded reference-file inventory so direct
skill discovery stays accurate without accidentally walking too much of
the filesystem.
> - Secrets provider setup needs actionable AWS discovery errors so
operators can recover from IAM/config problems without losing manual
form input.
> - The issue detail file viewer should reopen cleanly after the first
close so users can keep inspecting files during task review.
> - This pull request collects the small fixes and regression tests for
those related operator workflows.
> - The benefit is more predictable local skill imports, clearer secrets
setup failure states, and a less brittle file preview interaction.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- No public GitHub issue was found for this extracted local work.
- Related prior sync context: #8536.
- Problem: local skill reference discovery, AWS provider-vault discovery
errors, and issue file preview reopening each had narrow workflow
regressions that made operator recovery harder.
- Expected behavior: skill imports inventory reference files within
bounded local skill directories, AWS discovery failures present safe
actionable guidance while preserving manual values, and closing the
first file preview does not prevent opening another preview.
- Reproduction scope: import a local skill with referenced files,
attempt AWS Secrets Manager discovery with insufficient IAM/list
permissions, and open/close/reopen file previews from an issue detail
page.
- Duplicate search: searched GitHub PRs/issues for `skill inventory
secrets file viewer` and `skill inventory secrets AWS file viewer`; no
matching public duplicate was found.
## What Changed
- Bounded direct local skill file inventory discovery and added
regression coverage for reference file imports.
- Preserved and surfaced safe, actionable AWS Secrets Manager
discovery/import errors in server responses and the secrets UI.
- Kept AWS provider-vault manual form values intact when discovery fails
or returns no candidates.
- Fixed issue file viewer state so closing the first preview still
allows later file previews to open.
- Updated the secrets render test harness to avoid the missing
`React.act` export in the current React package set.
## Verification
- `pnpm run preflight:workspace-links && pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/secrets-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/secrets-service.test.ts
ui/src/context/FileViewerContext.test.ts
ui/src/pages/Secrets.render.test.tsx`
- Result: 5 test files passed, 116 tests passed.
- Install note: the isolated worktree needed `NODE_ENV=development pnpm
install --frozen-lockfile --prod=false --force` before local
verification because it initially had no dev dependencies installed.
## Risks
- Low-to-medium risk: this touches skill import inventory,
secrets-provider error handling, and file-viewer UI state, but each
change is covered by focused regression tests.
- No migrations.
- No dependency or lockfile changes.
- CI is rerunning on the latest head after review fixes; Greptile is 5/5
with no unresolved Greptile threads.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI-agent
companies.
> - The control plane coordinates issues, workspaces, documents,
routines, and board review flows across company-scoped data.
> - The local source branch contained related schema, service, and UI
changes for workspace issue scoping and document/routine annotations.
> - These changes need to move together because db schema, shared types,
server services, and UI consumers form one contract.
> - This pull request extracts the migration-bearing control-plane work
from the source branch onto `origin/master`.
> - The benefit is a standalone branch with deterministic migration
order and focused review for the highest-risk part of the split.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No GitHub issue exists for this branch split. Internal source task:
[PAP-11234](/PAP/issues/PAP-11234).
Problem/motivation:
- Workspace operations need explicit issue scoping so readiness and
blocker handling can be derived correctly.
- Document annotations need reliable live updates, save failure
surfacing, normalized activity keys, and better comment panel behavior.
- Routine descriptions need the same annotation contract as issue
documents so operators can discuss and edit routine text without
special-case infrastructure.
Proposed solution:
- Add the workspace-operation `issueId` migration and readiness scoping.
- Add routine document/annotation schema, shared types, services,
routes, and UI editing support.
- Keep the related migrations in one PR so the renumbered `0106` and
`0107` migrations land in a deterministic order after current `master`.
Alternatives considered:
- Split migrations into separate PRs, rejected because that would create
migration-numbering conflicts and make each branch less standalone.
- Merge this with UI polish, rejected because this branch needs deeper
server/db review.
Roadmap alignment:
- Checked `ROADMAP.md`; the roadmap mentions future recurring routine
capabilities generally, but no duplicate implementation PR for these
annotation/workspace changes was found.
## What Changed
- Added `0106_workspace_operations_issue_id.sql` and
`0107_routine_description_annotations.sql`, plus schema exports.
- Scoped workspace readiness to blocker issues and attached workspace
operation issue ids.
- Scoped issue-thread interaction accept finalization to the source run.
- Added routine document annotation contracts across
db/shared/server/UI.
- Improved document annotation live updates, activity-key normalization,
save failure surfacing, and comment panel behavior.
- Added issue workspace property controls and compact
blocked-by/quick-control UI updates.
- Added focused server and UI regression tests for the new contracts.
## Verification
- `CI=true NODE_ENV=development pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
--prefer-offline`
- `NODE_ENV=test pnpm exec vitest
server/src/__tests__/document-annotation-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interactions-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/routine-document-annotation-routes.test.ts

ui/src/components/IssueDocumentAnnotations.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssueProperties.test.tsx
ui/src/components/WorkspaceRuntimeControls.test.tsx
ui/src/context/LiveUpdatesProvider.test.ts --run` — 10 files, 273 tests
passed.
- `NODE_ENV=test pnpm -r --filter @paperclipai/db --filter
@paperclipai/shared --filter @paperclipai/server --filter
@paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed, including db migration numbering
check.
## Risks
- Migration-bearing PR; merge this branch before any later PR that adds
migrations with higher numbers.
- Cross-layer contract risk across db/shared/server/ui, mitigated with
targeted tests and affected-package typecheck.
- Review should pay special attention to company scoping in new
routine/document annotation paths.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The UI ships a dark/light theme toggle and persists the user's
explicit choice in `localStorage`
> - For first-time visitors with no stored choice, the pre-React
bootstrap script in `ui/index.html` hardcoded `"dark"` and never
consulted the OS preference
> - As a result, users on a light-themed OS were forced into dark mode
until they clicked the toggle once — a first-impression friction with no
compensating benefit
> - This pull request makes the bootstrap respect `prefers-color-scheme`
for first-time visitors and adds a `matchMedia` listener so the in-app
theme auto-follows OS changes until the user makes an explicit choice
> - The benefit is a friction-free first visit that matches every other
modern web app, with zero impact on users who have already chosen a
theme
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue covers this directly — problem described in-PR (bug
shape):
- For first-time visitors with no stored theme choice, the pre-React
bootstrap script in `ui/index.html` hardcoded `"dark"` and never
consulted the OS `prefers-color-scheme` preference.
- Users on a light-themed OS were forced into dark mode until they
clicked the toggle once — first-impression friction with no compensating
benefit.
- This PR supersedes part of PR #3732 (the `prefers-color-scheme`
bootstrap slice); no standalone issue was filed for it.
## What Changed
- **`ui/index.html`** — the pre-React bootstrap script now computes a
`prefersDark` fallback via `matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)")`,
guarded by a `typeof window.matchMedia === "function"` feature-detection
check, in place of the hardcoded `"dark"` default. A stored
`localStorage` value still takes precedence.
- **`ui/src/context/ThemeContext.tsx`** — tracks an `hasExplicitChoice`
flag. While `false`, a `MediaQueryList` `change` listener keeps the
in-app theme in sync with OS theme switches. Once `setTheme` /
`toggleTheme` runs, the choice is persisted and the listener is removed.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui run typecheck` — clean.
- `npx vitest run src/components/SidebarAccountMenu.test.tsx` — 1/1 pass
(the one test that exercises `ThemeContext`).
- Manual: launched the Vite UI dev server with a mocked
`/api/auth/get-session` 401, navigated to `/auth` with no
`localStorage.theme` set, and toggled the browser's emulated
`prefers-color-scheme` between `dark` and `light`. Bootstrap renders the
matching theme without a flash. Screenshots committed.
**Screenshots — first-visit (no stored theme) with system pref:**
| System dark | System light |
| --- | --- |
<img width="1280" height="800" alt="first-visit-prefers-dark"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c30274d5-a2e0-4ed8-b7ef-b96b8caac5ca"
/>
<img width="1280" height="800" alt="first-visit-prefers-light"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ebd8e9cf-0be1-4b36-a6f8-eb38b00dff5c"
/>
(Without this PR, both screenshots would have rendered dark.)
## Risks
Low. Purely additive:
- A stored `localStorage` value still takes precedence over the OS
preference, so users who have already picked a theme are unaffected.
- SSR-safe: both new code paths are gated on `typeof window !==
"undefined"` (the inline script only runs in the browser, and the React
`matchMedia` listener is attached inside `useEffect`).
- No new dependencies, no API surface change.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The first-run experience (onboarding wizard) and the chat surfaces
(conference-room/board chat, task threads, composers) are the product's
front door — they decide whether a new operator understands "hire
agents, give them work, review results" in the first five minutes
> - Today those surfaces feel ticket-y and form-like: the wizard is a
static multi-step form that ends in an anticlimactic "Launch" screen,
the task composer and board chat behave differently from each other, and
agent-feed issue quicklooks misbehave (multiple flyouts open at once,
cards jump on hover)
> - We wanted to iterate toward a conversational, team-centric NUX — but
without risking the workflows of everyone already running Paperclip
> - This PR reworks the NUX behind a new default-OFF
`enableConferenceRoomChat` experimental flag: a capsule-motif onboarding
wizard that builds your team as you answer, a conference-room chat
surface, one shared ChatComposer across surfaces, brand-accurate status
chips, and feed-quicklook fixes — with the pre-existing UI
fork-and-frozen as `*Classic` components that flag-OFF users keep
> - The benefit is a complete, testable modern NUX that anyone can opt
into from Settings → Experimental, with zero default behavior change and
a clean path to either graduate or drop the experiment
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No pre-existing GitHub issue — feature description per
`feature_request.yml`:
- **Problem / motivation:** Paperclip's onboarding wizard and chat
surfaces grew up as separate ticket-centric forms. New users get a
form-filling experience rather than the feeling of standing up a team;
the board chat and task threads use different composers with different
affordances; the agent feed's issue quicklook can stack multiple
popovers and shifts cards on hover.
- **Proposed solution:** A coherent NUX experiment behind one
experimental flag (`enableConferenceRoomChat`, Settings → Experimental,
default OFF): capsule onboarding wizard with an evolving team capsule,
conference-room chat, unified `ChatComposer`, team-centric copy, brand
status chips, quicklook single-flight fix. Flag-OFF users get the exact
pre-experiment UI via frozen `*Classic` forks, verified by an on/off
parity test matrix.
- **Alternatives considered:** (a) incremental unflagged restyling —
rejected: the changes interlock across surfaces and would drip risk into
every release; (b) a separate app shell / route for the new NUX —
rejected: too much divergence, the flag + classic-fork pattern keeps the
diff reviewable and reversible.
- **Roadmap alignment:** `ROADMAP.md` lists **CEO Chat** ("a
lighter-weight way to talk to leadership agents... should still resolve
to real work objects"). This experiment is groundwork in that direction
(conference-room chat resolves to issues/tasks via the same composer
used in task threads) and does not change the core task-and-comments
model.
Related PRs found in the dedup search (same area, none duplicate this
work — they target the classic wizard, which this PR intentionally
leaves intact and mergeable):
- #5385 — Coach-driven onboarding: conversational entry +
agent-companies package import
- #5378 — Onboarding wizard: reusable adapter picker + probe card
- #6636 — ui(onboarding): friendly error surface + retry for the wizard
- #7005 — fix(onboarding): explicitly await first-task wake
- #2616 — fix: restore workspace directory config in onboarding wizard
## What Changed
- **Experimental flag plumbing** — `enableConferenceRoomChat` in shared
types/validators, server instance-settings service + API, Settings →
Experimental card with explicit enable/disable copy
- **Onboarding wizard** — classic wizard forked and frozen
(`OnboardingWizardClassic`); flag-ON variant is a 5-step capsule wizard
with a persistent evolving `AgentCapsule` (gradient/glow motif),
team-centric reframed copy, and a typing-dots intro (hardened with
fake-timer tests)
- **Conference-room chat** — flag-ON board-chat surface with agent
bubble name/icon headers and copy/vote/timestamp action rows
(`AgentBubbleActionRow`)
- **Unified composer** — shared `ChatComposer` adopted across surfaces;
translucent surface + scroll-mask removal; "Agent mode"/"Plan mode"
relabels; no-assignee confirmation `AlertDialog` (new
`ui/alert-dialog.tsx` primitive); `@task` reference picker +
linkification in mentions
- **Agent feed** — single-flight issue-quicklook store (one popover at a
time), flyouts open to the left, removed hover translate-y jitter
- **Status chips** — brand-accurate task status chips behind the flag
(light/dark, 1px borders per paperclip.ing/brand)
- **Tests** — flag on/off parity matrix across IssueDetail,
NewIssueDialog, Sidebar, wizard, gate components; component tests for
all new pieces
- **Merge with `master`** — one conflict in
`ui/src/components/IssueChatThread.tsx`, resolved by keeping master's
new `AssigneeChip`/`HandoffWakeRow`/`RunStatusBadge` components inside
the flag-gated metadata-row chrome (details in commit `21a5642a`);
post-merge fixes: vitest 4 mock typing in `MarkdownEditor.test.tsx`,
flag hook made safe for provider-less mounts (master's new isolated
component tests)
- **Branch hygiene** — internal design wireframes/mockups stripped
before the PR (they live in the Paperclip issue threads)
- No user-facing documentation changes required: the flag is
intentionally experimental and self-described in the Settings card; no
existing docs reference the affected surfaces
## Verification
- `pnpm run typecheck` — green across the workspace (ui, server, shared,
plugins)
- Full UI suite (`vitest run` in `ui/`, clean worktree at this HEAD):
**1593/1595 passing, 223/224 files** — the 2 remaining failures are in
`src/components/artifacts/ArtifactCard.test.tsx` and **fail identically
on pristine `origin/master`** (pre-existing upstream, unrelated to this
branch)
- Full server suite (`vitest run` in `server/`, same clean worktree):
results in PR checks; flag plumbing covered by instance-settings tests
- Targeted post-merge resolution check: `IssueChatThread`,
`IssueChatThreadSystemNotice`, `IssueDetail`, `Sidebar`,
`ConferenceRoomChatGate`, `OnboardingWizardVariant`, `NewIssueDialog`,
`InstanceExperimentalSettings`, `MarkdownEditor` — 172/172 passing
- Manual walkthrough: flag OFF (default) → onboarding wizard, task
thread, board chat, composer all render the classic UI; flag ON via
Settings → Experimental → capsule wizard, conference-room chat, unified
composer, status chips active
- Screenshots: see below
**Flag on/off screenshots** (committed on this branch under
`screenshots/PR-8000-*`):
| Surface | Flag OFF (classic, default) | Flag ON (experimental) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Settings → Experimental | 
| 
|
| Task thread | 
| 
|
| Home / nav | 
| 
|
| Conference Room (flag-ON only surface) | — | 
|
Capsule onboarding wizard walkthrough screenshots (flag ON) are attached
to the Paperclip design/implementation threads; the wizard requires a
fresh instance so it is captured via the e2e harness
(`tests/e2e/nux-phase4-screenshots.spec.ts`).
## Risks
- **Large surface, but gated:** all new behavior sits behind
`enableConferenceRoomChat`, default OFF; flag-OFF rendering is locked by
frozen `*Classic` forks plus an on/off parity test suite
- **Classic forks are frozen at the fork point (`e3aada1d`):** master
features added to the live thread component after that point (assignee
handoff chips, run status badge, composer mention coach) render in the
flag-ON path; the flag-OFF task thread keeps the fork-point behavior
until the experiment graduates (forks deleted) or is dropped (forks
restored as canonical). Called out for reviewer attention.
- **Merge-conflict resolution in `IssueChatThread.tsx`** (commit
`21a5642a`) deserves reviewer eyes: master's new handoff/run-status
components were kept; the base toast-style no-assignee flow remains
replaced by the AlertDialog flow introduced on this branch
- Schema/server changes are additive (one optional boolean instance
setting); no migrations of existing data
## Model Used
- Claude (Anthropic) via Claude Code running in the Paperclip agent
harness (agent: ClaudeCoder)
- Branch implemented across multiple agent sessions on Claude Opus-class
models with extended thinking + tool use (file edits, shell, Playwright
screenshots); merge/PR session model ID as reported by the harness:
`claude-fable-5` (Claude Code CLI)
- All code was agent-authored and board-reviewed through Paperclip issue
threads (plans, wireframes, confirmations) before merging

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

- `pnpm -r --filter @paperclipai/shared --filter @paperclipai/server
--filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` - passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/WorkspaceFileBrowser.test.tsx`
- 1 file passed, 25 tests passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/file-resources.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts` - 2 files passed, 90
tests passed.
- `pnpm -r --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` - passed.
- Confirmed branch is `0` behind and `46` ahead of current
`public/master` after rebase and follow-up commits.
- Confirmed the PR diff does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml`.
- Confirmed the PR diff does not include `.github/workflows` changes.
- Searched GitHub for duplicate or related workspace file viewer
PRs/issues; #4442 is the prior closed attempt and this PR is the single
active PR for the branch.
- No screenshots were committed; the task explicitly asked not to add
design screenshots or images unless they were part of the work.
Current remote verification on head
`a698a7bc10137baf7d25bd5722e1d6e0343387c1`:
- Greptile Review - success, 64 files reviewed, 0 comments added, no
unresolved Greptile review threads.
- PR workflow `verify` - success.
- Typecheck + Release Registry, General tests, workspace test shards,
serialized server suites, Build, Canary Dry Run, e2e, Socket, and Snyk -
success.
- `security-review` - neutral, with output saying a draft advisory was
filed for maintainer review and is not a merge block.
- `commitperclip PR Review / review` - cancelled after the security gate
detected flags and timed out while creating/reviewing the advisory. I
reran it once and it cancelled the same way; no actionable code/test
failure was exposed in the job logs.
## Risks
- This is a broad UI/server feature PR, so review needs to pay attention
to route authorization, workspace boundary handling, and markdown
autolink false positives.
- Workspace browsing intentionally caps list results and scan depth;
very large workspaces may require users to refine search terms.
- Remote workspace preview remains unavailable until remote file-access
support is implemented.
- The neutral commitperclip security-review advisory needs maintainer
review, but the check output says it is not a merge block.

## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 coding agent in a Paperclip/Codex local tool-use
environment, medium reasoning, with shell/GitHub CLI tool use for branch
inspection, verification, rebase, PR update, Greptile review, and CI
inspection.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The board UI is the operator surface where users create, assign,
monitor, and review work items.
> - The product language is moving toward "tasks" for user-facing work
items while the internal API and database still use "issues".
> - PR #7543 bundled this copy migration with broader
information-architecture work, which made the branch too large for
Greptile review.
> - This pull request peels the Issue-to-Task copy migration into a
smaller, independently reviewable change.
> - The benefit is clearer user-facing terminology, less agent confusion
via the Paperclip skill note, and a smaller PR that Greptile can review.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #7645
Refs #7543
Refs PAP-10430
This PR was split out of #7543 so the Issue-to-Task copy migration can
be reviewed separately and the remaining IA PR can fall under Greptile's
file limit.
## What Changed
- Preserves Scott Tong's original `PAP-57` copy-only commit, with author
and co-author credit intact, to rename user-facing "Issues" copy to
"Tasks" across the UI while keeping routes/API/internal symbols as
`issue`.
- Updates onboarding and release-smoke browser selectors from `Create &
Open Issue` to `Create & Open Task`.
- Adds a terminology note to `skills/paperclip/SKILL.md` clarifying that
task and issue refer to the same Paperclip work item.
- Resolves the only cherry-pick conflict by keeping current search
artifacts support and changing visible search copy to "tasks".
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` passed.
- `NODE_ENV=test pnpm exec vitest run
ui/src/components/IssuesList.test.tsx ui/src/components/Sidebar.test.tsx
ui/src/components/NewIssueDialog.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx` passed: 4 files, 66 tests.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` passed.
- Diff is 80 files, below Greptile's 100-file limit.
- Before/after UI copy examples: "Issues" -> "Tasks", "New Issue" ->
"New Task", "Create & Open Issue" -> "Create & Open Task".
## Risks
- Medium copy-risk: this intentionally changes user-facing terminology
broadly while keeping internal issue identifiers and routes unchanged.
- Some docs and APIs still say `issue`; the skill note clarifies this so
agents do not treat task and issue as separate entities.
- Browser-level visual validation is expected from CI because this local
container is missing usable browser dependencies.

## Model Used
Scott Tong authored the original `PAP-57` copy migration, assisted by
Claude Opus 4.8 and Paperclip agents per the preserved commit metadata.
Codex / GPT-5-class coding agent with shell, GitHub CLI, and repository
access performed the PR split, conflict resolution, skill note, and
verification.

Fixes#7514 — the prefix-validation piece of the #5456 auto-linker
404-storm umbrella. The remaining pieces (404 retry guard, word-boundary
tightening, comment edit/soft-delete) stay open under #5456.
Part of #5456.
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Agents and humans cross-reference work in markdown — issue
descriptions, comments, documents — which the UI renders through a
shared `MarkdownBody`
> - That renderer auto-links any `IDENT-123`-shaped token to an internal
`/issues/IDENT-123` link
> - But foreign tracker keys share that exact shape: a Jira `TREE-604`
(or any external `ORG-123`) mentioned in prose becomes a link to a
Paperclip issue that does not exist — it 404s, and the renderer also
fires a wasted issue-fetch for the bogus identifier
> - The set of real issue prefixes is already in the browser: every
company carries an `issuePrefix`, exposed via `CompanyContext`
> - This PR gates bare-token auto-linking to known company prefixes,
leaving explicit `issue://` / `/issues/` references and real markdown
links untouched
> - The benefit is no dead internal links from foreign keys, with no new
query, cache, or server change — and zero regression when prefixes
aren't yet known
## What Changed
- **`ui/src/lib/issue-reference.ts`** — `parseIssueReferenceFromHref`
takes an optional `knownPrefixes` set and rejects a bare `IDENT-123`
token whose prefix isn't in it; threaded through
`remarkLinkIssueReferences(options)` → tree rewrite → text and
inline-code paths. An omitted/empty set keeps the legacy permissive
behavior. Explicit `issue://` scheme and `/issues/` path forms are never
gated.
- **`ui/src/context/CompanyContext.tsx`** — adds `useOptionalCompany()`,
a non-throwing variant of `useCompany()` (returns `null` outside a
provider).
- **`ui/src/components/MarkdownBody.tsx`** — reads company prefixes via
`useOptionalCompany()` and passes them to the linkifier. The
non-throwing read keeps `MarkdownBody` renderable in provider-less
surfaces (e.g. standalone/exported markdown).
- Tests extended in `issue-reference.test.ts` (gating + remark-plugin
cases) and `MarkdownBody.test.tsx` (gating, empty-companies permissive,
explicit-path bypass).
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/lib/issue-reference.test.ts src/components/MarkdownBody.test.tsx` —
green (17 + 40 tests).
- Full UI suite: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run` —
**1161 passed / 183 files**; pre-existing `MarkdownBody` link tests pass
unmodified (they hit the permissive `null`-context path), confirming no
regression.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui run typecheck` — clean.
- _Screenshots pending — opening as draft; before/after images to follow
before marking ready._
- Manual (before/after): in an issue description containing both a real
Paperclip identifier and a Jira key — _before_ both render as
`/issues/...` links (the Jira one dead); _after_ only the real
identifier links and the Jira key is plain text.
## Risks
- **Low risk.** No server/API/migration change; pure client rendering
logic.
- A referenced issue whose company isn't in the viewer's `companies`
list stops auto-linking — acceptable, since that internal link wouldn't
resolve for that viewer anyway; explicit `/issues/IDENT` references
still render.
- During initial load (companies not yet fetched) behavior is identical
to today (permissive), so no new flicker.
## Model Used
- **Anthropic Claude Opus 4.8** (`claude-opus-4-8`), 1M-token context,
extended thinking + tool use. Plan authored and implemented with the
model; all decisions reviewed by the human contributor.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI-agent companies through company-scoped
issues, projects, agents, and board-visible workflows.
> - The board sidebar and project list are the daily navigation surface
for that control plane.
> - Users need to keep all projects and agents accessible while hiding
resources they have intentionally left from their own sidebar.
> - That requires user-scoped resource membership state backed by
company-scoped API and database contracts.
> - The branch also needed to preserve HTTP worktree login sessions and
keep the project list easier to scan after membership grouping.
> - This pull request adds resource membership controls, sidebar leave
actions, grouped/sortable project listings, and focused tests.
> - The benefit is a cleaner personal workspace view without weakening
company-scoped access to the underlying project or agent detail pages.
## What Changed
- Added `project_memberships` and `agent_memberships` tables with
API/shared/server contracts for current-user join/leave state.
- Renumbered the membership migration to `0090_resource_memberships`
after rebasing onto current `master`, and made it idempotent for anyone
who had applied the old branch-local `0087` migration.
- Added project and agent sidebar leave actions, plus list filtering
that waits for membership state before hiding resources.
- Added grouped project listing, project sorting controls, and reserved
row subtitle height for cleaner scanning.
- Fixed HTTP auth cookie security handling so HTTP worktree sessions can
persist.
- Updated focused server and UI tests for the new membership, sidebar,
project list, and auth behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/better-auth.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/resource-memberships-routes.test.ts
ui/src/pages/Projects.test.tsx
ui/src/components/SidebarProjects.test.tsx
ui/src/components/SidebarAgents.test.tsx
ui/src/components/MembershipAction.test.tsx
ui/src/components/EntityRow.test.tsx`
- Confirmed the branch is rebased on current `origin/master`.
- Confirmed the PR diff does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml` or
`.github/workflows` changes.
## Risks
- Migration safety: low to medium. The migration now uses `IF NOT
EXISTS` / guarded constraints and is numbered after current master
migrations, but it should still get CI coverage against fresh databases.
- UI behavior: low. Left resources are hidden from sidebar only after
membership state loads; direct detail access remains available.
- Auth behavior: low. Cookie security is relaxed only for HTTP/private
local-style origins where secure cookies would prevent login
persistence.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies; humans
operate the board through the React UI.
> - The board gates company access via `CompanyProvider`
(CompanyContext) and onboards new humans through the invite landing page
at `/invite/:token`.
> - Reported symptom: opening an invite link and signing in works, but
the page then renders completely blank (black in dark mode).
> - End-to-end browser testing reproduced a client-side crash:
`companiesQuery.data?.some is not a function` and `Cannot read
properties of undefined (reading 'filter')`.
> - Root cause: `CompanyProvider` and `InviteLandingPage` both use the
React Query key `["companies"]` but return **different shapes** — `{
companies, unauthorized }` vs a bare `Company[]` — so they silently
corrupt the shared cache entry; whichever component reads the other's
shape calls `.some()`/`.filter()` on the wrong type and throws,
unmounting the tree.
> - Owners never hit it (they never mount the invite page); only
invitees landing on `/invite/:token` crash.
> - This PR unifies the `["companies"]` query into a single shared
definition so the cache entry always has one shape and the two consumers
can't drift apart again.
> - The benefit is a working invite/onboarding flow and removal of a
whole class of cache-shape bugs on this key.
## What Changed
- Add `ui/src/api/companies-query.ts` exporting a single shared
`companiesListQueryOptions` (and `CompanyListResult`) — one `queryKey` +
one `queryFn` that always returns the wrapped `{ companies, unauthorized
}` shape, documented with the shared-cache contract.
- `ui/src/context/CompanyContext.tsx` now uses
`useQuery(companiesListQueryOptions)` instead of an inline copy of that
query.
- `ui/src/pages/InviteLanding.tsx` uses the same
`companiesListQueryOptions` (with its own `enabled` gate), reads
`companiesQuery.data?.companies` for the membership checks, and uses
`queryClient.fetchQuery(companiesListQueryOptions)` in the post-auth
path — so it reads and writes the identical shape.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — clean.
- `vitest run src/pages/InviteLanding.test.tsx
src/context/CompanyContext.test.tsx` — 17/17 pass, unchanged.
- Manual end-to-end via a real browser against a LAN-exposed
authenticated instance:
- Owner creates an Owner-role invite.
- New user opens the link and registers — **the "awaiting approval"
screen renders** (previously blank), `POST /api/invites/:token/accept`
returns `202`, no console errors.
- Owner approves at Company Settings → Access (`200`); invitee becomes
an active member.
- Invitee signs in — full board loads; smoke test of dashboard / issues
/ inbox / routines / goals / company settings — all render, zero
`pageerror`s.
- Before: invite page `#root` empty after sign-in (blank/black). After:
awaiting-approval panel renders. (Screenshots available on request.)
## Risks
- Low. `CompanyProvider`'s query behavior is unchanged (same `queryFn`
logic, just extracted into a shared module). `InviteLandingPage` now
reads the same shape it writes. No API, schema, or migration changes.
Existing tests pass unchanged.
## Model Used

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies by keeping
task ownership, approvals, and operator control inside one control
plane.
> - Agent permissions and plugin-hosted company settings sit on the
boundary between autonomy and governance.
> - V1 needs scoped task assignment rules, plugin extension points, and
clearer company access surfaces without weakening company boundaries.
> - The branch builds the core authorization service, plugin SDK/host
APIs, and UI simplifications needed to support those controls.
> - Paperclip EE plugin surfaces were intentionally moved out of this
core PR per review direction, so this PR now carries only the public
core/plugin infrastructure work.
> - The latest updates preserve the PAP-9937 branch changes that belong
in this PR, remove the `design/` artifacts, and exclude the experimental
`plugin-briefs` package.
> - Greptile feedback was applied through the authorization/audit paths
and the final cleanup commit was re-reviewed at 5/5 with no unresolved
Greptile threads.
> - The benefit is safer assignment control with extension hooks for
richer permission products while preserving simple defaults for normal
operators.
## What Changed
- Added scoped task-assignment authorization decisions and routed
issue/agent assignment mutations through the authorization service.
- Added plugin SDK and host APIs for company settings slots,
authorization policy/grant management, assignment previews, and bridge
invocation scope propagation.
- Simplified core company access UI and moved advanced controls behind
plugin-provided settings surfaces.
- Added retry-now affordances for blocked issue next-step notices.
- Added protected-assignment enforcement for persisted
agent/project/issue policies, including explicit-grant fallback
behavior.
- Added incremental principal-access compatibility backfill for active
agent memberships and role-default human permission grants.
- Added the Markdown code block wrap action fix from the latest branch
changes.
- Removed `design/` artifacts from the PR and removed
`packages/plugins/plugin-briefs` from the final diff.
- Addressed Greptile feedback for plugin actor sanitization, legacy
membership handling, audit pagination, unknown grant-scope metadata, and
startup test mocks.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/access-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts` -> 2 files passed, 54
tests passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/access-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts` -> 3 files passed, 62
tests passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/authorization-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/plugin-access-authorization-host-services.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts` -> 3 files
passed, 28 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` -> passed.
- `git diff --check` -> passed.
- `node ./scripts/check-docker-deps-stage.mjs` -> passed.
- `CI=true pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --ignore-scripts` -> passed
with no lockfile update.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
ui/src/components/MarkdownBody.interaction.test.tsx` -> 1 test passed.
- `git ls-files design packages/plugins/plugin-briefs | wc -l` -> 0.
- GitHub CI on `40cd83b53` -> all checks passed, merge state `CLEAN`.
- Greptile on `40cd83b53` -> 5/5, 102 files reviewed, 0
comments/annotations added, 0 unresolved review threads.
- Confirmed the PR diff contains no `design/`,
`packages/plugins/plugin-briefs`, `pnpm-lock.yaml`, or
`.github/workflows` changes.
## Risks
- Medium: task assignment authorization paths are behaviorally stricter
for protected/private policy data, so existing plugin-authored policies
may block assignment until explicit grants or approval flows are
configured.
- Medium: plugin-host authorization APIs expand the surface area
available to trusted plugins and need careful review for company
scoping.
- Low: startup now performs a principal-access compatibility backfill,
but the migration and runtime backfill use conflict-tolerant inserts.

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - The board UI keeps issue pages responsive by subscribing to live
activity events and invalidating TanStack Query caches.
> - Issue documents are first-class issue artifacts, but document
activity events were not refreshing the document list, active document,
or revision caches.
> - That meant a user could update a document on an issue and another
open board would keep showing stale document content until a page
reload.
> - This pull request routes issue document activity events through the
same live invalidation path used for issue and comment updates.
> - The benefit is that issue document changes become visible
automatically on active issue pages without forcing operators to reload
the board.
## What Changed
- Added live-update cache invalidation for `issue.document_created`,
`issue.document_updated`, `issue.document_restored`, and
`issue.document_deleted` activity events.
- Invalidated the issue document list, the active document cache, and
document revisions for both issue id and identifier references when the
activity payload includes a document key.
- Added regression coverage for document activity events so active issue
pages refetch document caches without inactive-only behavior.
- Simplified the document invalidation test mock after Greptile feedback
so the test only models the cache reads it actually uses.
## Verification
- `git rebase public-gh/master` reported the branch was up to date after
fetching `public-gh/master`.
- `pnpm run preflight:workspace-links` passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/ui
ui/src/context/LiveUpdatesProvider.test.ts` passed: 1 file, 16 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` passed.
- PR checks passed on `eecd19f7b0355490f17314c94bffa06aada8f9e3`:
`policy`, `verify`, `e2e`, all 4 serialized server shards, `Canary Dry
Run`, `security/snyk`, and `Greptile Review`.
- Greptile completed with `5/5` confidence and no unresolved review
threads.
## Risks
- Low risk. This expands cache invalidation for existing live activity
events and does not change API contracts, database schema, migrations,
or document persistence behavior.
- No migrations or `pnpm-lock.yaml` changes are included.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents through visible, governable task
and routine workflows.
> - The routines UI includes the routine detail page, properties panel,
history tab, and shared sidebar components.
> - PR #5703 changed that workflow by widening the routine properties
panel and moving revision inspection/comparison into dialogs.
> - The product direction for that change is being paused for now, so
the safest path is a direct revert instead of partial edits.
> - This pull request reverts merge commit
`74cb560c41305ac3283067d1ec8d3060ffdc28cb` from #5703.
> - The benefit is restoring the prior routines UI behavior while
keeping the revert easy to review and re-apply later if needed.
## What Changed
- Reverted #5703: `fix(ui): improve routine properties panel and history
UX`.
- Restored the previous routine properties panel sizing, panel context
API, routine detail layout, and routine history rendering behavior.
- Removed the reverted sidebar pane test additions and restored the
previous focused routine history test expectations.
## Verification
- `git diff --check origin/master..HEAD`
- `pnpm vitest run ui/src/components/RoutineHistoryTab.test.tsx`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
### Screenshots
This is a direct revert of #5703. The visual state after this PR
corresponds to the "Before" screenshots from #5703, and the state being
removed corresponds to the "After" screenshots from #5703.

## Risks
- Low technical risk: this is a clean Git revert of a recently merged
UI-only PR.
- Product risk: the routine properties panel and revision history return
to the older, narrower workflow that #5703 was improving.
- Re-application risk: future work that wants the #5703 behavior back
should re-apply it deliberately rather than cherry-picking around this
revert.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - Routines are the recurring-work surface where operators configure
schedules, executions, activity, and revision history.
> - The routine detail view uses a contextual right properties panel for
triggers, runs, activity, and history.
> - That panel was too cramped for routine workflows: the routine header
could collapse at constrained widths, and revision previews/comparisons
were trying to live inside the same narrow panel.
> - This pull request makes the routine properties panel wider and
responsive without changing the default panel behavior for other pages.
> - It also moves routine revision viewing and comparison into focused
dialogs so history stays usable instead of rendering dense revision
content inside the right panel.
> - The benefit is a cleaner routine workflow: triggers remain
scannable, the main routine stays readable, and revisions can be
inspected, compared, and restored without fighting the sidebar width.
## What Changed
- Added optional per-panel layout options for storage key, default
width, min/max width, and compact viewport behavior.
- Set the routine properties panel to use its own 400px default width
and persistence key, while compacting to 320px on narrower viewports.
- Made the shared resizable sidebar support right-side panes, custom
width bounds, compact max width, and keyboard resizing.
- Fixed the routine detail header so title text and action controls
remain readable beside the properties panel at constrained widths.
- Reworked routine history so selecting a revision opens a read-only
snapshot dialog instead of trying to render the whole revision inside
the right panel.
- Added a side-by-side current-vs-selected revision comparison dialog
with clearer diff markers for structured fields, triggers, and
variables.
- Added focused tests for the resizable pane and routine history
behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run ui/src/components/RoutineHistoryTab.test.tsx
ui/src/components/ResizableSidebarPane.test.tsx`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `git diff --check`
- Browser E2E in TestCo at `http://localhost:3100/TES/dashboard`:
- created and edited a routine
- added, edited, toggled, and deleted schedule triggers
- paused automation
- ran the routine and stopped the live run
- verified runs, activity, history, snapshot dialog, compare mode,
restore confirmation, routine list, recent runs, row actions, panel
close/reopen, and constrained-width layout

#### History Panel
Before, selecting a revision attempted to show dense revision content
inside the already narrow right panel. After, history remains a compact
list and revision details open separately.

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4c139238-8494-4438-89e1-4277d05bc3aa"
/> |
#### Revision Snapshot
The selected revision now opens in a dedicated read-only dialog instead
of crowding the properties panel.
<img width="1740" height="1289" alt="revision-single"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f930f50f-7016-434b-bd81-d8d97304c528"
/>
#### Revision Compare
Historical revisions can be compared side-by-side with the current
revision, including changed structured fields and trigger differences.
<img width="1740" height="1287" alt="revision-compare"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5640201e-de4f-446b-8941-1b0f140c56d7"
/>
## Risks
- Low to moderate UI risk: the shared resizable pane API gained optional
layout parameters, but existing callers keep the previous defaults.
- Routine history now uses dialogs for revision viewing and comparison,
so reviewers should confirm the new workflow feels right for restore and
compare.
- Routine panel width now persists under a routine-specific key, so
previous global properties panel width preferences do not carry into
routines.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip relies on issue identifiers, execution policies, and agent
heartbeat rules to keep autonomous work auditable.
> - Safety checks need to reject ambiguous agent handoffs, and
identifier parsing needs to support Cloud tenant prefixes.
> - Agent instructions also need to make final-disposition rules
explicit so work does not stall in vague states.
> - This pull request isolates backend correctness and governance
hardening from the UI and recovery-system-notice branches.
> - The benefit is safer in-review transitions, better identifier
compatibility, and clearer agent operating contracts.
## What Changed
- Fixed run-aware confirmation ordering and interrupted-run state
cleanup.
- Added Cloud tenant identity bootstrap and alphanumeric issue
identifier support across shared parsing and server routes.
- Guarded agent-authored `in_review` updates unless a real review path
exists.
- Tightened heartbeat disposition instructions in adapter
utilities/default AGENTS/Paperclip skill.

packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts` initially had the first
execution-policy test hit Vitest's 5s timeout under the parallel bundle
while the rest passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-execution-policy-routes.test.ts
--testTimeout=20000` passed with 10/10 tests.
- Follow-up: `pnpm run typecheck:build-gaps` passed.
- Follow-up: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` passed.
- Follow-up: `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-comment-reopen-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/costs-service.test.ts` passed.
- Follow-up: `pnpm vitest run ui/src/context/LiveUpdatesProvider.test.ts
ui/src/lib/issue-chat-messages.test.ts
ui/src/lib/issue-reference.test.ts
ui/src/lib/issue-timeline-events.test.ts` passed.
## Risks
- Medium control-plane risk: in-review update validation changes agent
behavior. The error message is explicit and tests cover allowed review
paths.
## Model Used
- OpenAI GPT-5 Codex via Paperclip `codex_local` adapter, with
shell/git/GitHub CLI tool use.
