## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related but not duplicate: Refs #6908. That PR catches `instanceof
ZodError` inside validation middleware and returns 422; it does not
cover errors created by a second Zod module instance, which is the
reproduced failure here.
**What happened?**
An invalid `POST /api/issues/:id/work-products` payload raised a real
Zod validation error but returned HTTP 500 because the error came from a
different Zod package instance.
**Expected behavior**
All genuine Zod validation failures return HTTP 400 with validation
details, independent of module identity.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Submit a work-product body missing the required `provider`,
`externalId`, and `url` fields.
2. Ensure the route schema is resolved from a different installed Zod
instance than the server error handler.
3. Observe HTTP 500 before this fix.
4. Observe HTTP 400 after this fix.
**Environment**
- Paperclip base: `14f20be92b86a49ff2c35495e5b0fa4d719998ef`
- Deployment: self-hosted, built from source
- Access context: board API
- Adapter scope: not adapter-specific
- [x] I searched open PRs for `ZodError`, validation errors, and
work-product validation and linked related work above.
## What Changed
- Add a narrow `readZodIssues` helper that accepts native Zod errors or
structurally valid cross-package Zod errors.
- Preserve existing HTTP 400 response shape and structured error
context.
- Add a regression for a Zod error object from another module instance.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/error-handler.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- Full upstream CI test/build/e2e matrix passed.
- Local post-deploy smoke returned HTTP 400 for the previously failing
invalid work-product payload.
## Risks
- A deliberately thrown object named `ZodError` with an `issues` array
will be treated as a client validation failure. The effect is limited to
returning HTTP 400 instead of 500; no authorization or persistence
behavior changes.
- No schema or migration changes.
> This is a bug fix, not roadmap feature work.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Claude agents that run in a remote sandbox need a safe in-product
login path
> - The existing host login route cannot open a pseudo-terminal inside
that sandbox
> - The login flow must protect the browser code, the login URL, and the
OAuth token at every step
> - This pull request adds the parser, the runner, a Daytona
pseudo-terminal transport, and a guarded, owner-bound session route
behind an injectable transport
> - The route stays inert in the default build and fails closed until a
sandbox provider binds the live transport
> - The benefit is a company-scoped setup-token flow with one-time
secret delivery, redaction, and fail-closed transport checks, ready for
a later staged production rollout
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Agent or provider**
Claude Code setup-token login for sandbox agents.
**Why this adapter is useful**
Sandbox agents need a supported way to sign in without host credentials.
An authorized owner completes the browser step and receives the token
one time.
**How the agent is invoked**
When a sandbox provider binds the injectable transport, the server
starts `claude setup-token` through a sandbox pseudo-terminal, sends the
browser code to the matched prompt, and returns the token through the
guarded session route. The default build does not bind the transport. In
that state the start route fails closed with a fixed no-secret `503`. It
does not start a process and it does not hold a sandbox lease.
**Additional context**
The transport is injectable, so each sandbox provider binds its own
pseudo-terminal. This pull request adds the Daytona transport but does
not bind it in the production server. A production wiring needs a lease
manager, a live pseudo-terminal factory, a durable token store, and its
own security review. The route keeps secrets out of logs, activity
details, errors, telemetry, and non-owner responses.
## What Changed
- Add strict parsers for the setup-token URL, the prompt, and the
success token.
- Add a login runner that drives the `claude setup-token` command
through a pseudo-terminal.
- Add the Daytona pseudo-terminal transport and the sandbox plugin
wiring.
- Add a company-scoped, owner-bound login session service with rate
limits, a reaper, cleanup, and one-time token delivery.
- Add the guarded session routes at
`/agents/:id/setup-token-login-sessions/*` behind an injectable
transport. The routes become the live login path only when a provider
binds the transport.
- Keep the start route fail-closed in the default build. It returns a
fixed no-secret `503` and it does not bind `setupTokenLogin`.
- Keep the existing host route `POST /agents/:id/claude-login` in place.
This pull request does not replace it.
- Keep confidential responses behind a fail-closed TLS transport guard
with `Cache-Control: no-store`, and extend redaction for the new fields.
- Export the parser and the runner from the Claude local server entry,
and document the new session routes in the OpenAPI spec.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run setup-token-route
setup-token-session`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local exec vitest run`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server run typecheck`
- Confirm that the pull request checks pass on GitHub.
## Risks
- Low user-facing risk on merge. The default build does not bind the
transport, so the production start route stays fail-closed with a `503`.
The merge does not change the production login behavior.
- When a provider later binds the transport, the flow starts a live
sandbox process and holds a short-lived in-memory secret. Cleanup must
stop the child before it releases the sandbox lease.
- The transport guard fails closed when the deployment does not provide
a trusted TLS path. A wrong proxy allowlist can block a valid request.
- The production wiring is out of scope. It needs a lease manager, a
live pseudo-terminal factory, a durable token store, and its own
security review before the server binds `setupTokenLogin`.
## Model Used
Anthropic Claude Opus 4.8 assisted the implementation. It used extended
reasoning, code execution, repository tool use, and a 200,000-token
context window.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The issue detail view is the main place where people read work and
guide agents.
> - The chat-style task view needs clear messages, controls, properties,
and document feedback.
> - Dense metadata and disconnected controls make active work harder to
scan.
> - This pull request refines the existing chat-style task workflow
across desktop and mobile layouts.
> - The benefit is a clearer issue thread with faster access to the
controls that guide work.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The change improves the chat-style issue detail view that was introduced
in [#10606](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/10606) and
expanded in
[#10707](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/10707).
**Current behavior**
The issue thread spreads task controls across the page. Agent-turn
metadata competes with the message content. Document annotation comments
use inline placement that limits the document reading area. The mobile
composer can overlap the bottom navigation.
**Proposed behavior**
The issue view keeps the thread focused on message content. It moves
supporting controls into the properties area, adds searchable
assignment, restores the sub-task tree, docks document comments in a
side gutter, and keeps the mobile composer clear of navigation.
**Reason and benefit**
People can scan active work faster and find task controls without
leaving the issue. The layout also gives documents and mobile
conversations more usable space.
**Breaking changes**
None. The change updates presentation and interaction behavior in the
existing issue UI.
## What Changed
- Refined task-chat message spacing, metadata, agent bubbles, and
composer alignment.
- Added searchable assignment and restored sub-task navigation in the
properties pane.
- Moved document annotation comments into a right-side gutter.
- Kept the mobile composer above the auto-hiding bottom navigation.
- Added and updated focused component tests for the changed
interactions.
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `TZ=UTC pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/InlineEntitySelector.test.tsx
src/components/IssueDocumentAnnotations.test.tsx
src/components/IssueProperties.test.tsx
src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx`
- The token gates report 3/3 clean.
- The focused test run passes 124 tests in 5 files.
- Visual snapshot baselines were not updated. This follows the
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md` entry "Per-change snapshot verification
demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)."
## Risks
- The changes affect several related issue-detail layouts. A browser
review should cover desktop and mobile widths before merge.
- The monitor-row test formats time in the host timezone. The
verification command sets `TZ=UTC` to match CI.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Environments give agent runs an execution target, and their env vars
can carry secrets, so writes need a company scope for secret bindings
> - `PATCH /environments/:id` resolves that scope from a query param,

> - A fresh environment has no bindings yet, so an admin whose
memberships cannot pin one company gets a 422 on the very first env var
save and can never create the first binding
> - #11200 made this reachable from the UI: it opened the envVars-only
edit on the managed sandbox row, but the UI never sends the company it
already knows
> - This pull request sends the page's selected company on environment
updates and adds a server fallback to the instance's only company
> - The benefit is that the first env var save works on fresh
environments, while multi-company ambiguity still fails closed
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11200
**What happened?**
On a fresh platform-managed sandbox environment, the first "Save
environment variables" in the UI fails with HTTP 422: "Environment
secret management requires a companyId context during the
instance-scoped transition." The same failure hits any environment
update that touches `envVars` or `config` when the environment has no
secret bindings yet and the actor's memberships do not name exactly one
company (for example an instance admin provisioned without a membership
row, or a user in two companies).
**Expected behavior**
The save succeeds. The client tells the server which company scopes the
secret bindings, and on a single-company instance the server can resolve
the only possible scope by itself.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Provision a platform-managed sandbox environment (managed-config
`environments` entry) so the row exists with no secret bindings.
2. Sign in as an instance admin whose memberships do not resolve to
exactly one company.
3. Open Environments, edit the managed row, add an env var, and save.
4. The PATCH returns 422 with the companyId-context error.
## What Changed
- `ui/src/api/environments.ts`: `environmentsApi.update` accepts an
optional `companyId` and sends it as the `companyId` query param the
server already reads. Renamed the `customImageCompanyQuery` helper to
`companyIdQuery` since it now serves plain updates and probes too.
- `ui/src/pages/CompanyEnvironments.tsx`: both the managed envVars-only
save and the general environment save pass `selectedCompanyId`.
- `server/src/routes/environments.ts`:
`resolveEnvironmentSecretContextCompanyId` falls back to the instance's
only company when exactly one exists, mirroring the existing fallback in
`resolveCustomImageCompanyId`. Multi-company instances still fail
closed.
- Tests: three new route tests (explicit query context for a
multi-company actor, single-company-instance fallback for a
membership-less admin, fail-closed regression on a multi-company
instance), and updated the SSH-probe and probe-ambiguity tests for the
new fallback.
## Verification
- `cd server && pnpm vitest run
src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts` — 78 pass.
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run src/pages/CompanyEnvironments.test.tsx` — 22
pass.
- Full `server` and `ui` vitest suites and `tsc --noEmit` on both
packages pass locally.
- Manual: on a managed instance, edit the managed sandbox environment,
add an env var, save. Before: 422. After: the save persists and the
PATCH carries `?companyId=`.
## Risks
- Low risk. The explicit query param path already existed on the server;
the UI now uses it.
- Behavioral shift: on single-company instances, environment
secret-context resolution (including `POST /environments/:id/probe`) now
resolves the only company instead of returning no context. That lets
probes resolve secret-backed config where they previously returned a 422
asking for an explicit companyId. Multi-company instances keep the
fail-closed behavior, covered by a regression test.
- Self-hosted single-company instances gain the same first-save fix; no
schema or config changes.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server heartbeat system records each agent run and its retry
state
> - A workspace-busy deferral cancels one run before it inserts the
scheduled retry row
> - The test helper can return after the cancel write and before the

change
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs: #10806
**What happened?**
The workspace-busy test read the retry row after the first deferral
write. The helper returned before the scheduled-retry insert completed.
The read then returned no row and failed the retry assertions.
**Expected behavior**
The test must wait until the scheduled-retry row exists before it checks
retry-row fields. The production write order must stay unchanged.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Add a 300 ms delay between the deferral writes.
2. Run `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-busy.test.ts`.
3. Observe failures at retry-row presence checks.
4. Add the bounded polling helper.
5. Run the test file again and observe that all presence checks pass.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit `d9b6e8a6e62b9b56919fc9c52d294e8ac569f70f`.
**Deployment mode**
Local test run from source.
## What Changed
- Add `waitForRetryRun`, which polls for the retry row with a 10 second
timeout and a 50 millisecond interval.
- Use the helper at every test site that reads a retry row after
deferral.
- Keep direct reads at absence assertions.
- Keep production code unchanged.
## Verification
- Injected a temporary 300 millisecond delay between the two production
writes and reproduced the five presence-site failures.
- Applied the helper with the delay and passed the test file 15 out of
15 times.
- Removed the temporary production delay.
- Ran the changed test file 25 consecutive times with 0 failures.
- Ran TypeScript checks for the changed test file with no errors.
## Risks
Low risk. This pull request changes test code only. The helper has a
bounded timeout. Production behavior and retry-row assertions remain
unchanged.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, reasoning mode, tool use, and code execution. The
runtime does not expose the context window size.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandbox providers (Daytona, Kubernetes) sync run results back to the
host with a sandbox-authored tarball
> - Before extraction, a confinement check parses the host `tar -tvf`
listing and fails closed on unparseable lines
> - The parser only understands the GNU tar listing dialect; macOS ships
bsdtar, whose ls-style listing never matches
> - Every sandbox syncOut on a macOS host therefore aborts with
"refusing tarball with an unparseable entry listing", and the run fails
at copy-back
> - This pull request teaches the parser both dialects while keeping the
fail-closed and traversal guarantees
> - The benefit is that Daytona and Kubernetes sandbox runs work on
macOS hosts, with no behavior change on Linux
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue. Bug description:
**What happened?**
On a macOS host, every Daytona sandbox run fails at syncOut. The adapter
reports: `Daytona syncOut refusing tarball with an unparseable entry
listing: -rw-r--r-- 0 daytona daytona 7560 Aug 11 21:43 AGENTS.md`. The
Kubernetes provider has the same parser and fails the same way.
**Expected behavior**
The confinement check accepts a well-formed listing from the host tar,
whichever dialect the host tar emits. It still rejects members that
escape the extraction directory, and it still fails closed on lines it
cannot parse.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run Paperclip on macOS (system tar is bsdtar).
2. Configure an agent with the Daytona sandbox provider.
3. Trigger any run that syncs files back from the sandbox.
4. The run fails at syncOut with the unparseable-entry-listing error,
because bsdtar prints `<perms> <links> <user> <group> <size> <Mon> <day>
<time|year> <name>` while the parser expects the GNU `<perms>
<owner>/<group> <size> <date> <time> <name>` shape.
**Operating system**
macOS (bsdtar 3.5.3). Linux hosts with GNU tar are unaffected.
## What Changed
- Extracted the listing-line parse in both providers' `file-sync.ts`
into an exported `parseTarVerboseListingLine` that accepts the
GNU/busybox dialect and the bsdtar (libarchive) dialect.
- The GNU shape now requires the slash-joined `<owner>/<group>` field.
This keeps the two shapes mutually exclusive. Without it, a bsdtar line
with numeric uid/gid satisfies the loose GNU pattern shifted by one
field, which would hide a leading `../` from the traversal check.
- Unparseable lines still fail closed. This includes device-node
entries, whose size column is `major,minor` in both dialects.
- Made the path-traversal fixture in the Daytona suite portable: GNU
spells member renaming `--transform`, bsdtar spells it `-s`.
- Added a Daytona test that refuses a sandbox-authored tarball carrying
a symlink whose target escapes the extraction dir.
- Added parser unit tests for both dialects (file, dir, symlink,
hardlink, numeric owner, year-form dates, fail-closed lines) to both
providers' suites.
## Verification
- `pnpm test` in `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona`: 136/136
pass on a macOS host. On unpatched `master` the round-trip test fails
there with the unparseable-entry-listing error.
- `pnpm test` in `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/kubernetes`: the
new parser tests pass; no new failures against the `master` baseline on
the same host.
- `pnpm typecheck` passes in both packages.
- CI runs the same suites on Linux/GNU tar and proves the GNU path is
unchanged.
## Risks
- Low risk. The GNU pattern is one token stricter (`<owner>/<group>`
must contain `/`). GNU and busybox tar always print the slash-joined
owner field, so accepted GNU listings are unchanged.
- The bsdtar branch only widens acceptance on hosts that were failing
100% of syncOuts before, so no working deployment changes behavior.
- The check still fails closed on anything neither pattern matches.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The UI registers a service worker (`ui/public/sw.js`) with a
network-first fetch handler whose cache is an offline fallback
> - The fallback hands `event.respondWith` the result of
`caches.match(...)`, which resolves `undefined` on a cache miss — and in
the navigation branch, `caches.match("/") || offlineResponse` never uses
the fallback because `caches.match` returns a promise, which is always
truthy
> - When the network fetch rejects (server restart, deploy, brief
outage) and the cache misses, the browser fails the request with
`Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Failed to convert value to
'Response'`, so navigation breaks outright instead of degrading to the
offline page
> - This pull request awaits the cache lookups and guarantees a real
`Response` on every path
> - The benefit is that brief server unavailability degrades to the
offline fallback instead of a dead navigation
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue. Description follows the bug template:
**What happened?**
Navigating while the server was briefly unavailable (mid-restart)
produced `The FetchEvent for "…" resulted in a network error response:
the promise was rejected.` and `sw.js:1 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError:
Failed to convert value to 'Response'.` The navigation failed instead of
showing the offline fallback.
**Expected behavior**
A failed navigation serves the cached app shell when present, otherwise
the "Offline" 503 response. A failed asset fetch serves its cache entry
when present, otherwise a proper network-error response. `respondWith`
always receives a real `Response`.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Load the app so `sw.js` is active; ensure `/` is not in the service
worker cache (fresh cache version).
2. Restart or stop the backend.
3. Navigate to any page: the fetch rejects, `caches.match` misses, and
the browser logs the conversion TypeError with a failed navigation.
## What Changed
- `ui/public/sw.js`: the fetch fallback awaits `caches.match(...)` and
returns the "Offline" 503 for navigations and `Response.error()` for
assets when the cache misses.
- `ui/src/lib/sw-offline-fallback.test.ts`: evaluates the real `sw.js`
in a sandboxed scope and covers the three fallback paths; the two
miss-path tests fail against the previous code.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run src/lib/sw-offline-fallback.test.ts` in `ui/` — 3
tests pass.
- Verified both miss-path tests fail against the unmodified `sw.js`.
## Risks
Low risk. The change only affects the fetch-rejection path; successful
fetches and cache hits behave exactly as before. `Response.error()`
mirrors what the browser would produce for an unhandled failed no-cors
fetch.
## Model Used
- Claude (Anthropic), Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`), via Claude Code
CLI with tool use (code search, edit, test execution).

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The UI receives live run/issue events over a websocket at
`/api/companies/:id/events/ws`; the server authorizes upgrades with a
bearer token or a Better Auth session
> - On a cloud-managed deployment, browsers authenticate through trusted
`x-paperclip-cloud-*` headers injected by the managing front door — they
never hold a local Better Auth session, and the Express middleware lane
that understands those headers is not consulted for websocket upgrades
> - Every browser websocket upgrade behind the front door therefore
resolves no identity and is rejected 403: the live-events socket has
never connected on a managed instance, leaving permanent reconnect churn
and console failure noise while the UI silently degrades to polling
> - This pull request adds a cloud-actor lane to the upgrade
authorization, reusing the same trusted-header resolver the HTTP
middleware uses
> - The benefit is working realtime updates on managed instances, an end
to the reconnect churn, and unchanged self-hosted behavior
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue. Description follows the bug template:
**What happened?**
On a cloud-managed instance, the browser console shows `WebSocket
connection to 'wss://…/api/companies/<id>/events/ws' failed:` repeating
indefinitely for every company, on a healthy instance. The server
rejects each upgrade with 403 because `authorizeUpgrade` in
`server/src/realtime/live-events-ws.ts` only knows bearer tokens and
Better Auth sessions, while cloud-proxied browsers authenticate via
`x-paperclip-cloud-*` trusted headers (handled only by the Express
`actorMiddleware` lane in `server/src/middleware/auth.ts`).
**Expected behavior**
A browser that authenticates through the trusted cloud headers can open
the live-events websocket for any company in its membership scope,
exactly as it can call the HTTP API for those companies.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run Paperclip in `authenticated` mode behind a proxy that injects the
`x-paperclip-cloud-*` headers with a valid
`PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_TENANT_SERVER_TOKEN`.
2. Load any company page in a browser (no local Better Auth session).
3. HTTP API calls succeed; every `/events/ws` upgrade is rejected 403
and the UI retries forever.
## What Changed
- `server/src/middleware/auth.ts`: `resolveCloudTenantActor` now accepts
a minimal `CloudActorHeaderSource` (`header(name)`) instead of an
Express `Request` — `Request` satisfies it unchanged — plus
`cloudActorHeaderSourceFromHeaders` to adapt raw
`IncomingMessage.headers`.
- `server/src/realtime/live-events-ws.ts`: `authorizeUpgrade` gains an
injected `resolveCloudActor` lane, tried before the Better Auth session
fallback in `authenticated` mode. A resolved cloud actor is
authoritative: the upgrade is authorized only for a company in the
actor's membership scope (`companyIds`, the same scope the HTTP lane
grants). Absent/unresolvable cloud headers fall through to the session
path.
- `server/src/index.ts`: wires `resolveCloudActor` through
`resolveCloudTenantActor` + the header shim. The resolver self-gates:
without `PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_TENANT_SERVER_TOKEN` and a matching trust token
it returns null, so self-hosted deployments never take this path.
- Tests: upgrade authorized for an in-scope company (session resolver
not consulted), rejected for an out-of-scope company, fall-through to
session auth when no cloud actor resolves; header-shim resolution from a
raw lowercased header map including `string[]` values.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/live-events-ws.test.ts
server/src/middleware/cloud-tenant-actor.test.ts` — 25 tests pass.
- `pnpm typecheck` in `server/` — clean.
- Not verified live end-to-end: that requires a managed instance running
this build; the direct probe evidence (HTTP authenticated fine, every WS
upgrade 403) matches the code path exactly.
## Risks
Low risk. The new lane only activates when the deployment configures the
cloud trust token and the request presents it; both checks already
protect the HTTP lane. Authorization scope is the same `companyIds` set
the HTTP middleware computes (primary stack company plus the user's real
membership rows). The cloud resolver's user/company materialization
writes are debounced (existing behavior shared with the HTTP lane), so
websocket reconnect storms do not amplify database writes. Self-hosted
instances see no behavioral change, covered by the fall-through test.
## 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; diagnosis included live websocket handshake probes against a
managed instance).

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server coordinates issue work and heartbeat runs.
> - The onboarding first-task route sends an assignment wake in the
background.
> - The route test removes related database rows during teardown.
> - A late heartbeat run can keep foreign-key child rows alive during
teardown.
> - This pull request drains the wake and deletes run rows in
foreign-key order.
> - The benefit is a stable test that keeps the onboarding behavior
unchanged.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The onboarding first-task route sent a background assignment wake. The
test teardown removed parent rows before the wake-created heartbeat rows
finished.
**Expected behavior**
The test teardown should wait for the background wake and remove
heartbeat rows before it removes their parent rows.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the onboarding first-task route test.
2. Repeat the test many times.
3. Observe an intermittent foreign-key error during teardown.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit `c30fe965920eeb7e7fb88e17574a65bed8fc01a4`.
**Deployment mode**
Local dev (pnpm dev).
**Installation method**
Built from source (pnpm dev / pnpm build).
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core bug).
**Database mode**
Embedded PGlite (default — DATABASE_URL unset).
## What Changed
- Stub the server adapter in the route test so the dispatched run
finishes at once.
- Drain heartbeat runs to quiescence before teardown.
- Delete heartbeat runs and child rows before their parent rows.
- Delete runtime state and company skill rows in foreign-key order.
- Keep the route behavior and all three test assertions unchanged.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-onboarding-first-task-routes.test.ts` from the
`server` package.
- The author ran the suite 25 times with 25 passes.
- The suite reproduced the teardown foreign-key error before this
change.
## Risks
Low risk. This change affects one test file and does not change product
code or route behavior.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5. The model used tool calls and code review assistance. The
exact context window and reasoning mode were not exposed in this run.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server runs a scheduled reaper that archives terminal workspaces
after it checks their state.
> - The reaper reads candidates in `updatedAt` order and skips
candidates that do not qualify for archive.
> - The fixed page kept the same skipped candidates at the front, so the
reaper did not inspect later eligible workspaces.
> - This pull request adds a keyset cursor and a throttled log for
sweeps that archive no workspace.
> - The benefit is that the reaper inspects all candidates over time and
reports an inert sweep.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The terminal workspace reaper inspected a fixed page of old candidates.
Ineligible candidates stayed in that page, so the reaper skipped later
eligible workspaces on every sweep.
**Expected behavior**
The reaper must inspect each candidate over time and archive every
eligible terminal workspace.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create more than 50 terminal workspace candidates.
2. Keep the oldest page ineligible for archive.
3. Place an eligible workspace after that page.
4. Run repeated reaper sweeps.
5. Observe that the later eligible workspace remains unarchived.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit `3efdf555e6e14a46747c796c3c554438bfc03261`.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with the server test suite.
**Installation method**
Built from source.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core bug).
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
## What Changed
- Add a keyset cursor that uses `(updatedAt, id)` order across reaper
pages.
- Reset the cursor at the end of the candidate set so the next sweep
starts at the beginning.
- Add a throttled log when a sweep inspects candidates but archives
none.
- Add regression tests for archive delivery and starvation.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts` — 45 tests pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts` — 16 tests pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — clean.
## Risks
Low risk. The change affects only candidate paging and the related
reaper log. The cursor resets after the candidate set, so the sweep
remains periodic.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators use task properties to inspect and change task
relationships.
> - A blocked-by chip linked directly to the blocking task.
> - Its remove control appeared only on hover, so touch users could not
reach it.
> - This pull request opens a small action menu when a user taps the
chip on mobile.
> - The menu lets the user visit the task or start the existing
blocker-removal confirmation.
> - The benefit is that touch users can manage blockers without changing
the fast desktop flow.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
On a phone-width layout, a tap on a blocked-by chip opened the blocking
task immediately. The remove control appeared only on hover, so a touch
user could not remove the blocker.
**Expected behavior**
A tap on a blocked-by chip on mobile opens a menu. The menu offers
`Visit task` and `Remove blocker` actions.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open a task that has a blocker.
2. Use a viewport below the mobile breakpoint.
3. Open the task properties.
4. Tap the blocked-by chip.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced on `e5a7fd7038` from `master`.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with the local development workflow.
## What Changed
- Added a mobile-only action menu to blocked-by chips.
- Kept the direct task link and hover/focus remove control on desktop.
- Reused the existing removal confirmation before the relation update.
- Added focused regression coverage for the mobile visit and remove
choices.
- Added a phone-width Storybook state with the action menu open.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/IssueProperties.test.tsx`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm build-storybook`
- Opened the new Storybook state in Playwright Chromium with a Pixel 5
viewport. Confirmed that both actions are visible and fit in the
viewport.
## Risks
- Low risk. The behavior change is limited to the existing mobile
breakpoint.
- Desktop navigation and blocker removal keep their current behavior.
- The menu uses the shared dropdown and dialog primitives.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators create tasks in a dialog that includes the assignee and
project fields.
> - Mobile browsers reduce and offset the visual viewport when the
on-screen keyboard opens.
> - The dialog used layout viewport units, so its upper fields could
move off-screen while the user typed.
> - This pull request makes the dialog follow the live visual viewport
and keeps the focused editor visible.
> - The benefit is that operators can see the task context and the field
they edit on mobile devices.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
On mobile browsers, opening the keyboard in the new-task dialog could
move the assignee and project fields above the visible screen. The
active editor could also become difficult to see.
**Expected behavior**
The full dialog must stay inside the visible browser area. The active
editor and task controls must remain reachable while the on-screen
keyboard is open.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open Paperclip on a mobile browser.
2. Open the new-task dialog.
3. Focus the title or description editor to open the on-screen keyboard.
4. Observe that the upper fields can move outside the visible viewport.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced before commit `838cdbb325` on `master`.
**Deployment mode**
Local dev (`pnpm dev`) in a mobile browser viewport.
## What Changed
- Read `window.visualViewport` while the dialog is open.
- Apply token-based dialog geometry when the visual viewport is
constrained.
- Keep the focused editor visible after viewport resize and scroll
events.
- Add unit coverage for visual viewport updates and focus scrolling.
- Add Playwright coverage for mobile, tablet, desktop keyboard, and
unconstrained desktop layouts.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/NewIssueDialog.test.tsx` — 27
tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed with all gates clean.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build-storybook` — passed.
- `pnpm exec playwright test
tests/storybook-visual/new-issue-dialog-viewport.spec.ts --config
tests/storybook-visual/playwright.config.ts` — 4 tests passed.
## Risks
- Low risk. The custom geometry only activates when
`visualViewport.height` is less than `window.innerHeight`.
- Browsers without the Visual Viewport API keep the existing dialog
primitive behavior.
- The browser test checks hit targets and visible bounds at mobile,
tablet, and desktop widths.

Git still counts every snapshot line, so a PR that adds one migration
shows a ~39k-line badge (two migrations show ~78k). PR #11237 shows
+84,665 for this reason.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue. This is a small follow-up to merged PR #11240.
Description follows the enhancement template:
**Problem / Motivation**
PR #11240 marked `packages/db/src/migrations/meta/**` as
`linguist-generated=true`. That attribute collapses the diff in the
Files-changed view and removes the files from language stats, but it
does not remove their lines from the PR additions/deletions badge. Each
Drizzle snapshot is a full copy of the schema (~39k lines), so any PR
that adds a migration still shows a huge line count. PR #11237 shows
+84,665, of which ~78k are two generated snapshots.
**Proposed Solution**
Add `-diff` to the same glob. Git then treats the snapshots as binary.
`git diff --numstat` reports `-` for these files, so their lines leave
the +/- badge and GitHub shows "Binary file not shown" in place of the
full JSON.
**Alternatives Considered**
- Keep only `linguist-generated`: leaves the misleading ~39k/78k badge
on every migration PR.
- Use the `binary` macro (`-diff -merge -text`): also disables EOL
normalization. This repo has open CRLF/LF work, so `-text` is left unset
on purpose.
## What Changed
- Added `-diff` to `src/migrations/meta/**` in
`packages/db/.gitattributes`.
- Kept `linguist-generated=true` (language stats) and `-merge` (no
auto-merge of generated snapshots).
- Left `-text` unset on purpose, so end-of-line normalization stays
intact.
- Left the `.sql` migration files untouched, so their diffs stay visible
for review.
## Verification
Check the attributes and confirm the snapshot is now treated as binary:
```
git check-attr linguist-generated diff merge -- \
packages/db/src/migrations/meta/0031_snapshot.json \
packages/db/src/migrations/0009_fast_jackal.sql
git diff --numstat origin/master...origin/feat/adapter-sandbox-login -- \
packages/db/src/migrations/meta/0214_snapshot.json
```
Expected:
```
packages/db/src/migrations/meta/0031_snapshot.json: linguist-generated: true
packages/db/src/migrations/meta/0031_snapshot.json: diff: unset
packages/db/src/migrations/meta/0031_snapshot.json: merge: unset
packages/db/src/migrations/0009_fast_jackal.sql: linguist-generated: unspecified
packages/db/src/migrations/0009_fast_jackal.sql: diff: unspecified
packages/db/src/migrations/0009_fast_jackal.sql: merge: unspecified
- - packages/db/src/migrations/meta/0214_snapshot.json
```
The snapshot reports `-` in numstat (binary, not counted). The `.sql`
migration keeps normal diff behavior. GitHub reads the rule from the PR
tree, so the badge drops on the next PR that touches these files.
## Risks
Low risk. The change only affects how git and GitHub render and count
generated files. It does not touch application code, the schema, or any
migration.
- With `-diff`, GitHub and local `git diff` no longer show a text diff
for a snapshot. This is intended; the files are generated and are not
reviewed by hand. The raw file is still viewable.
- `-text` is left unset, so this change does not affect the CRLF/LF
handling that other PRs (for example #8922) address.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The UI dev server proxies `/api` to the backend and injects
`x-forwarded-host`; a unit test asserts that injection with a sample
Host header
> - The sample Host header is a contributor's real machine and tailnet
hostname, committed to the public repository
> - Real personal hostnames do not belong in a public codebase, and this
one also contains the contributor's OS username, so
`scripts/check-forbidden-tokens.mjs` (which forbids the local username)
blocks `npm` publishing from that contributor's machine
> - This pull request replaces the fixture with a fictional
tailnet-style hostname
> - The benefit is no personal identifiers in the test fixtures and a
passing forbidden-token check for every contributor
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue. Description follows the bug template:
**What happened?**
`ui/src/lib/vite-api-proxy.test.ts` uses a real contributor dev-machine
hostname as its `Host` header fixture. `node
scripts/check-forbidden-tokens.mjs` fails on that contributor's machine
because the hostname contains their OS username, blocking the publish
flow. Introduced in #10718.
**Expected behavior**
Test fixtures use fictional hostnames. The forbidden-token check passes
on every contributor machine.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. On a machine whose OS username appears in the fixture hostname, run
`node scripts/check-forbidden-tokens.mjs`.
2. The check reports the two lines in
`ui/src/lib/vite-api-proxy.test.ts` and blocks with exit code 1.
## What Changed
- `ui/src/lib/vite-api-proxy.test.ts`: the `Host` fixture is now
`dev-box.tail1234.ts.net:3101` (fictional). The test only asserts that
whatever host arrives is injected as `x-forwarded-host`, so the value is
arbitrary.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run src/lib/vite-api-proxy.test.ts` in `ui/` — 5 tests
pass.
- `node scripts/check-forbidden-tokens.mjs` — "No forbidden tokens
found" on the previously affected machine.
- Note: git history retains the old value; this removes it from the
current tree only.
## Risks
None. A test fixture string with no behavioral coupling.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The web UI holds live websocket connections for run events,
coordinates cross-tab polling through a leader-election store, and
renders app chrome (sidebar, providers) around a routed outlet
> - When the backend is still cold-starting (managed hosting wake,
server restart, reverse proxy up before the app), the event websockets
refuse connections and the first SPA load mounts against a dead backend
> - In that state the mount cascade can exceed React's nested update
limit (minified error #185); the crash originates in shell hooks outside
the routed error boundary, so React unmounts the entire root to a blank
page, and the dead page keeps retrying the websocket on a flat 1.5s
timer until the user hard-refreshes
> - This pull request removes the wasted nested commits from the
shared-polling subscription path, adds exponential backoff to the
transcript websocket reconnect, and adds a last-resort app-shell error
boundary
> - The benefit is that a cold or briefly unreachable backend degrades
to a recoverable state instead of a blank page that hammers the server
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue. Description follows the bug template:
**What happened?**
On the first load against a backend that was still starting, the app
showed its loading animation and then a blank page. The console showed
repeated `WebSocket connection to 'wss://…/api/companies/<id>/events/ws'
failed` lines and `Uncaught Error: Minified React error #185` with a
stack through the shared-polling coordinator's `subscribe`. The
websocket retries continued indefinitely on the dead page. A manual
refresh fixed it.
**Expected behavior**
A backend that is briefly unreachable degrades gracefully: websocket
reconnects back off, the UI keeps rendering from cache, and even a
worst-case crash shows a reload prompt instead of a blank page.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Serve the UI while the backend API is still starting (websocket
upgrades and API calls refused).
2. Load any company page with several shared-polling consumers mounted
(dashboard with sidebar).
3. Observe repeated websocket failures; on affected loads the page goes
blank with React error #185.
## What Changed
- `ui/src/hooks/useSharedPolling.ts`: coordinator snapshot notifications
now keep the previous state object when leadership did not change, so
React bails out instead of scheduling a nested re-render. `subscribe`
invokes its listener synchronously from inside the mount effect with a
fresh object each time; before this change every mount and notify burned
nested-update budget even with no value change — the crash frame in the
field report was exactly this `subscribe → setState` call.
- `ui/src/components/transcript/useLiveRunTranscripts.ts`: the live
event websocket reconnect backs off exponentially (1.5s → 15s cap, reset
on successful open), mirroring `LiveUpdatesProvider`, instead of a flat
1.5s retry.
- `ui/src/components/AppErrorBoundary.tsx` (+ wiring in
`ui/src/main.tsx`): a dependency-free boundary above the router and
providers. `RouteErrorBoundary` only guards the routed `<Outlet />`; a
crash in the shell around it had no boundary, so React unmounted the
root to a blank page. The boundary renders a reload prompt with the
error message.
- Tests: `useSharedPollingSnapshot.test.tsx` (mount costs no extra
commit — fails against the previous code; a real leadership change
re-renders exactly once and ticks stay quiet), a backoff test in
`useLiveRunTranscripts.test.tsx` (delays grow 1.5s → 3s → 6s and reset
after a successful open), and `AppErrorBoundary.test.tsx` (render throw,
effect throw, healthy pass-through).
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run` in `ui/` over the touched suites (shared polling,
cross-tab poll, transcripts, boundary): 34 tests pass.
- `pnpm typecheck` in `ui/` — clean.
- The snapshot regression test was verified to fail against the
pre-change hook (extra commit per mount).
- Not reproduced end-to-end: the exact 50-update cascade from the field
crash needs a live cold backend; the change removes the identified
per-mount/per-notify nested commits at the reported crash frame, bounds
the reconnect load, and guarantees the shell can no longer blank the
page.
## Risks
Low risk. The snapshot change only suppresses re-renders whose state is
value-identical; leadership changes propagate exactly as before. The
backoff only lengthens retry delays after consecutive failures and
resets on success. The new boundary renders children untouched unless an
error reaches it; behavior on healthy loads is unchanged. Self-hosted
deployments see the same code paths — the cold-backend window simply
rarely occurs there.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The web UI is a PWA-capable SPA; `ui/index.html` links
`/site.webmanifest` so browsers can read app metadata
> - Browsers fetch `<link rel="manifest">` in "omit credentials" mode
unless the link opts in with `crossorigin="use-credentials"`
> - Self-hosted this is harmless, but when Paperclip runs behind an
authenticating reverse proxy (a managed hosting front door), the
cookie-less manifest request is rejected with 401 on every page load and
logs a console error pair on each navigation
> - This pull request adds `crossorigin="use-credentials"` to the
manifest link so the request carries the same session cookies as every
other same-origin asset request
> - The benefit is a clean console and a servable manifest in proxied
deployments, with self-hosted behavior unchanged
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue. Description follows the bug template:
**What happened?**
On every page load behind an authenticating reverse proxy, the browser
logs `Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of
401` for `/site.webmanifest`, plus `Manifest fetch from … failed, code
401`. The proxy rejects the request because the browser sends the
manifest fetch without cookies.
**Expected behavior**
The manifest request carries the same session credentials as every other
same-origin asset request, so the proxy can authenticate and serve it.
No console errors.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Serve Paperclip behind a reverse proxy that requires a session cookie
for all app routes.
2. Sign in and load any page.
3. Open the browser console: the manifest fetch fails with 401 while all
other assets load.
## What Changed
- `ui/index.html`: the manifest link now carries
`crossorigin="use-credentials"`.
- `ui/src/lib/pwa-install-mode.test.ts`: a regression test asserts the
attribute stays on the link.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run src/lib/pwa-install-mode.test.ts` in `ui/` — 2 tests
pass.
- Manual check of the rendered link tag in `ui/index.html`.
## Risks
Low risk. The manifest is same-origin, so `use-credentials` only
switches the fetch from "omit" to the include behavior all other
same-origin requests already have. Self-hosted deployments see no
change. Cross-origin manifest hosting is not used in this project.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Environments give each agent run an execution target, and sandbox
providers (Daytona, E2B, Novita, exe.dev) run as plugin workers
> - A managed deployment provisions one platform-managed sandbox row
with no credential in config; the provider is documented to fall back to
its process env var (for example `DAYTONA_API_KEY`)
> - Plugin workers spawn with a scrubbed environment, so that fallback
never sees the host env var — probe and lease acquisition fail with
"require an API key in config or DAYTONA_API_KEY" even when the
deployment sets the var
> - Separately, the managed-sandbox-only mode hides local rows from
every list, but the instance Default picker renders a hardcoded
synthetic "Local" option that no filter touches
> - This pull request forwards each bundled provider's documented
credential env var to its own plugin worker, and gates the synthetic
Local option on the flag
> - The benefit is that the documented host-env credential fallback
works for plugin-backed providers, and managed-sandbox-only instances no
longer offer Local anywhere
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Plugin worker environment construction
(`server/src/services/plugin-loader.ts`) and the environments UI
(instance Default picker, agent form inherited-environment label).
**Problem or motivation**
Two follow-ups to the managed-sandbox-only mode (#11200), both found on
a live managed deployment:
1. The deployment sets `DAYTONA_API_KEY` as a server env var and the
managed sandbox row omits `config.apiKey` by contract. "Test Connection"
fails with `Sandbox environment probe failed for provider "daytona".
Daytona sandbox environments require an API key in config or
DAYTONA_API_KEY.` A real agent run fails the same way at lease
acquisition. The cause: sandbox providers run as plugin workers, and
`buildPluginWorkerEnv` passes only model-provider keys and in-cluster
Kubernetes vars. The provider's own documented credential env var never
reaches the worker, so the in-plugin `process.env` fallback reads
nothing. The self-hosted path has the same gap: the Daytona plugin
README documents `DAYTONA_API_KEY` as a host-level fallback, and it does
not work today.
2. With `enableManagedSandboxOnly` on, the instance Default environment
picker still shows "Local". The server filters local *rows* out of the
list, and the client filter mirrors that for cached lists, but this
option is a hardcoded `<option value="">Local</option>` — not a list row
— so no filter removes it. Selecting it writes a null default, which run
selection then rejects fail-closed.
**Proposed solution**
Forward each bundled sandbox provider's documented credential env var
into its plugin worker, keyed by the manifest's declared
`environmentDrivers[].driverKey` so a worker only receives its own
provider's credential (daytona → `DAYTONA_API_KEY`, e2b → `E2B_API_KEY`,
exe-dev → `EXE_API_KEY`, novita → `NOVITA_API_KEY`). Keep the existing
gate: only plugins that declare `environment.drivers.register` receive
any passthrough. In the UI, render the synthetic Local option only when
managed-sandbox-only is off; under the flag show a disabled "Select
environment" placeholder only while no default is stamped yet, and stop
the agent form's inherited label from reading "Local".
**Alternatives considered**
Adding `DAYTONA_API_KEY` to the existing `ADAPTER_ENV_PASSTHROUGH` list
was rejected: that list goes to every environment-driver plugin, so each
provider would receive every other provider's credential. A manifest
schema field for declared credential env vars was rejected as heavier
than needed: the bundled providers are known, and the mapping lives next
to the two existing passthrough lists.
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/plugin-loader.ts`: new
`SANDBOX_PROVIDER_CREDENTIAL_ENV_PASSTHROUGH` map (driverKey →
documented credential env vars). `buildPluginWorkerEnv` reads the
manifest's `environmentDrivers` and forwards only the matching vars,
after the existing `environment.drivers.register` gate. Blank values
stay excluded.
- `server/src/__tests__/plugin-database.test.ts`: the daytona worker
receives `DAYTONA_API_KEY` and not another provider's key; a plugin
whose drivers have no mapping (kubernetes) receives no credential var.
- `ui/src/pages/CompanyEnvironments.tsx`: the Default picker's synthetic
Local option renders only when managed-sandbox-only is off. Under the
flag, a disabled "Select environment" placeholder renders only while the
default is unset.
- `ui/src/pages/CompanyEnvironments.test.tsx`: the Local option is
present by default and absent under the flag; saved non-local
environments stay selectable.
- `ui/src/components/AgentConfigForm.tsx`: the inherited-environment
label falls back to "Managed sandbox" instead of "Local" under the flag.
## Verification
- `server`: `npx vitest run src/__tests__/plugin-database.test.ts -t
buildPluginWorkerEnv` — 5 passed (3 existing, 2 new).
- `ui`: `npx vitest run src/pages/CompanyEnvironments.test.tsx` — 22
passed (2 new); `npx vitest run
src/components/AgentConfigForm.render.test.tsx` — 10 passed.
- `tsc --noEmit` clean in `server` and `ui`.
- Live managed deployment: confirmed the tenant service env carries
`DAYTONA_API_KEY` while the probe fails with the exact message above,
which pins the root cause to the worker env, not delivery.
## Risks
- The worker env grows by exactly one var per matching bundled provider,
only when the deployment sets it and only for plugins that declare a
matching environment driver. Plugins without a mapping see no change.
- Self-hosted behavioral shift is the fix itself: a host-level
`DAYTONA_API_KEY` (or E2B/EXE/NOVITA equivalent) now reaches the
provider as its README documents. Deployments that set the var but
expected it to stay inert had no working configuration to preserve — the
provider errored on every keyless probe and run.
- UI change is inert unless `enableManagedSandboxOnly` is on (default
false everywhere).

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Database migrations are generated by drizzle-kit, which reads the
schema from the db package's built `dist/schema/*.js`
> - `tsc` never deletes stale outputs, so a long-lived checkout keeps
compiled schema files whose sources were deleted long ago
> - A `generate` run in such a checkout sees those ghost tables and
sweeps phantom `CREATE TABLE` statements into an unrelated migration
> - This pull request makes `generate` clean `dist` before building, so
drizzle always diffs against exactly the current schema sources
> - The benefit is that no contributor can accidentally resurrect
deleted tables inside a new migration
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Running `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db generate` in a months-old
checkout produced a migration re-creating `cloud_upstream_connections`,
`cloud_upstream_runs`, and `company_secret_pools` — tables whose schema
sources were deleted in #10507. The compiled copies were still in
`dist/schema/`, and `drizzle.config.ts` reads the schema from `dist`, so
drizzle treated them as new tables missing from the snapshot.
**Expected behavior**
`generate` diffs the current schema sources only; deleted tables can
never reappear in a generated migration.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Build the db package, then delete a schema source file without
cleaning `dist`.
2. Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db generate`.
3. The generated migration re-creates the deleted table.
## What Changed
- `packages/db/package.json`: the `generate` script runs `pnpm run
clean` before `tsc`, so the drizzle-kit input is always a fresh build of
the current sources.
## Verification
- In a checkout carrying stale `dist/schema/cloud_upstreams.js` /
`company_secret_pools.js` artifacts, `generate` produced a phantom
migration before this change; after a clean build it reports "No schema
changes, nothing to migrate". With this change the clean happens inside
`generate` itself.
## Risks
- Low risk: `generate` is a developer-only script; the change only adds
the existing `clean` step ahead of the existing build, at the cost of a
full rebuild per generate.

those values into the adapter's execution result, and marks them
`usageBasis: "per_run"` so the heartbeat service doesn't incorrectly
delta them against a prior run on a resumed session (matching how
`claude_local`/`codex_local` already do this)
> - The benefit is accurate cost/usage visibility for any self-hosted

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes: #10432
## What Changed
- `packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/parse.ts`: `parseGrokJsonl()`
now reads `usage.input_tokens` / `usage.output_tokens` /
`usage.cache_read_input_tokens` / `total_cost_usd` from the terminal
`end` event and returns them on `ParsedGrokJsonl` (previously discarded
entirely).
- `packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/execute.ts`: `toResult()` now
populates `usage.inputTokens/outputTokens/cachedInputTokens` from the
parsed values instead of hardcoded `0`, sets `usageBasis: "per_run"`
(each `--single` invocation reports usage for just that process, not a
running session total), and surfaces `costUsd` only when `billingType
=== "api"` (metered) — subscription/OAuth billing has no marginal dollar
cost, so it stays `null` there, but token counts are populated for both
billing types since usage visibility is useful regardless of billing
model.
- `packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/parse.test.ts`: added a test
asserting usage/cost extraction from a representative `end` event
payload, and updated the existing exact-equality test for the new
fields.
- `packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/execute.test.ts`: added a
test covering both subscription billing (tokens populated, `costUsd:
null`) and API-key billing (tokens populated, real `costUsd`), and
asserting `usageBasis: "per_run"` in both cases.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/parse.test.ts
packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/execute.test.ts` — 9/9 passed
- `tsc --noEmit` on the `grok-local` package — clean
- Verified against a real self-hosted Paperclip instance running `grok`
CLI `0.2.112` with SuperGrok subscription (OAuth) auth: confirmed the
raw CLI stream reports real `usage`/`total_cost_usd` (e.g.
`"usage":{"input_tokens":21560,...},"total_cost_usd":0.0564448`) that
was previously discarded before ever reaching
`heartbeat_runs.usage_json`, which always showed all-zero tokens
regardless of real usage.
## Risks
- Low risk, additive change scoped entirely to the `grok_local`
adapter's usage/cost reporting path — no change to control flow, session
handling, or process execution.
- `usageBasis: "per_run"` mirrors the existing, already-tested pattern
in `claude_local`/`codex_local` execute paths, so the heartbeat
service's per-run vs. session-cumulative delta logic is exercised the
same way.
- `costUsd` is intentionally left `null` for subscription/OAuth billing
(no behavior change there beyond now-populated token counts) to avoid
implying a dollar cost that doesn't exist for flat-rate billing.
## Model Used
Claude Sonnet 5 (`claude-sonnet-5`), via Claude Code, no extended
thinking. Root cause was found by comparing real `grok` CLI JSON stream
output (captured directly from a live invocation) against the persisted
`heartbeat_runs.usage_json` row for the same run on a self-hosted
instance, then reading `parse.ts`/`execute.ts` source to confirm the
hardcoded zero values.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue. This is a small repository-hygiene change.
Description follows the enhancement template:
**Problem / Motivation**
Every migration adds a full-schema snapshot JSON under
`packages/db/src/migrations/meta/`. These files are large and generated.
GitHub renders them as 30k+ line diffs in pull requests, which buries
the real change (the `.sql` migration) in noise. The files also have no
meaningful line-level merge: `drizzle-kit` computes each snapshot's
`id`/`prevId` chain and full schema state.
**Proposed Solution**
Add `packages/db/.gitattributes`:
- `linguist-generated=true` on `src/migrations/meta/**` — GitHub
collapses the diff and drops the files from language stats.
- `-merge` on the same glob — git refuses the line-level merge and
raises a conflict instead of fabricating an invalid snapshot.
**Alternatives Considered**
- `-diff` / `binary`: hides the diff completely and blocks text merge,
but also blocks any local `git diff` and gives a worse conflict
experience. `linguist-generated` keeps the file expandable and
text-based, so it is the lighter option.
- Do nothing: leaves the noisy diffs and the risk of a silent bad merge.
## What Changed
- Added `packages/db/.gitattributes`.
- Marked `src/migrations/meta/**` as `linguist-generated=true` to
collapse the snapshot and journal diffs on GitHub.
- Set `-merge` on the same files so git raises a conflict instead of
auto-merging generated snapshots.
- Left the `.sql` migration files untouched, so their diffs stay visible
for review.
## Verification
Run `git check-attr` against the affected files and a control `.sql`
file:
```
git check-attr linguist-generated merge -- \
packages/db/src/migrations/meta/0031_snapshot.json \
packages/db/src/migrations/meta/_journal.json \
packages/db/src/migrations/0009_fast_jackal.sql
```
Expected output:
```
packages/db/src/migrations/meta/0031_snapshot.json: linguist-generated: true
packages/db/src/migrations/meta/0031_snapshot.json: merge: unset
packages/db/src/migrations/meta/_journal.json: linguist-generated: true
packages/db/src/migrations/meta/_journal.json: merge: unset
packages/db/src/migrations/0009_fast_jackal.sql: linguist-generated: unspecified
packages/db/src/migrations/0009_fast_jackal.sql: merge: unspecified
```
The snapshot and journal files carry both attributes. The `.sql`
migration keeps its normal diff and merge behavior. GitHub applies the
rule from the pull request tree, so the collapse shows on the next pull
request that touches these files.
## Risks
Low risk. The change only affects git and GitHub display and merge
behavior for generated files. It does not touch application code, the
schema, or any migration.
- `-merge` leaves the current-branch version in the working tree on
conflict and marks the file conflicted. It does not insert conflict
markers into the JSON. The correct resolution stays "renumber the later
migration and regenerate", then commit.
- Related open pull requests #879 and #8922 also add `.gitattributes`
rules for migration files, but for CRLF/LF hash mismatches on Windows.
If either lands, a follow-up can merge the rules into one file. There is
no functional overlap with this change.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents at
work
> - Paperclip stores an `issuePrefix` on each company (e.g. "OPS") used
for issue identifiers (`OPS-1`) and company-prefixed routes
(`/OPS/dashboard`)
> - The create-dialog badges in NewIssueDialog, NewProjectDialog, and
NewGoalDialog were derived from the company display name using
`company.name.slice(0, 3).toUpperCase()` — so "Acme Labs" showed "ACM"
> - This is misleading because the badge visually represents the issue
prefix, but actually shows an unrelated 3-letter slice of the display
name
> - When a company has `issuePrefix = "OPS"` but `name = "Acme Labs"`,
the badge showed "ACM" while issues use "OPS-1"
> - This pull request replaces `name.slice(0, 3).toUpperCase()` with
`company.issuePrefix` in all three dialog badge components
> - The benefit is that the badge now matches the actual prefix used for
issues and routes, eliminating confusion
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes: #8501
## What Changed
- `ui/src/components/NewIssueDialog.tsx` (line ~1339): Replaced
`company.name.slice(0, 3).toUpperCase()` with `company.issuePrefix` in
the selected-company header badge
- `ui/src/components/NewIssueDialog.tsx`: Replaced
`company.name.slice(0, 3).toUpperCase()` with `company.issuePrefix` in
the company picker list badge
- `ui/src/components/NewProjectDialog.tsx`: Replaced
`selectedCompany.name.slice(0, 3).toUpperCase()` with
`selectedCompany.issuePrefix` in the selected-company header badge
- `ui/src/components/NewGoalDialog.tsx`: Replaced
`selectedCompany.name.slice(0, 3).toUpperCase()` with
`selectedCompany.issuePrefix` in the selected-company header badge
## Verification
1. Create or configure a company whose `issuePrefix` differs from the
first 3 letters of its display name (e.g. name = "Acme Labs",
issuePrefix = "OPS")
2. Open the New Task dialog — the selected-company header badge should
show "OPS", not "ACM"
3. Open the company picker dropdown inside the New Task dialog — each
company list badge should show the actual `issuePrefix`
4. Open the New Project dialog — the selected-company header badge
should show "OPS"
5. Open the New Goal dialog — the selected-company header badge should
show "OPS"
6. Verify that companies whose prefix matches the first 3 letters (e.g.
name="Ops Team", prefix="OPS") still display correctly
**Before/After:**
- Before: Company "Acme Labs" with `issuePrefix = "OPS"` showed badge
"ACM"
- After: Same company shows badge "OPS"
(Screenshots require running the UI locally against a test instance with
the relevant company configuration.)
## Risks
Low risk — this is a purely visual change to 3 React component badge
labels. No API changes, no schema changes, no behavioral changes to
issue creation or routing. The `issuePrefix` field is already loaded on
the company objects used by these components.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The previous pull request added server-side chunked resumable import
transfers; without clients, large imports still ride the single fragile
upload
> - The Import page and the CLI need to slice large packages, upload
parts with retry and progress, resume after interruptions, and preview
before applying
> - Preview is the missing server piece: the browser flow is
preview-then-import, so a completed spool must be previewable without
re-uploading
> - This pull request adds the transfer preview endpoint, switches the
Import page to the chunked path for zips over 48 MB, and teaches the CLI
the same for oversized local imports
> - The benefit is that large imports get progress, per-part retry, and
resume in both clients, while small imports keep the exact single-shot
path they have today
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
With only the server transfer routes in place, users still upload large
company packages as one request from the Import page and the CLI: no
progress indication, no retry below the whole file, and no resume after
a dropped connection or refresh. The preview-then-import flow also
cannot run against an uploaded transfer, forcing a second full upload.
**Expected behavior**
A large package uploads once as verified parts with visible progress;
preview and import both run against the uploaded spool; an interrupted
upload resumes with only the missing parts re-sent; packages at or below
48 MB behave exactly as before.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Select a 500 MB zip on the Import page over an unreliable connection.
2. Watch the single upload fail near the end and restart from zero,
twice — once for preview, once for import.
3. Same story headless via the CLI.
## What Changed
- Server: `POST /import/transfers/:id/preview` runs the existing preview
logic against the completed spool (shared assembly + whole-file
verification helper with apply); preview neither completes the run nor
deletes the spool, so the subsequent apply reuses it. Missing parts
respond with the missing list.
- UI: zips over 48 MB take the chunked path in both preview and import —
the file is sliced into 32 MB parts hashed with WebCrypto (single
ArrayBuffer, no second copy), the transfer is created or resumed (the
create response's missing-parts list drives what uploads), parts upload
sequentially with three attempts each and visible progress, then
transfer preview/apply replace the multipart calls. The existing preview
pane, collision handling, adapter overrides, and async job polling are
unchanged; ≤ 48 MB keeps the single-shot path.
- CLI: oversized local `.zip` or folder imports zip/slice/hash with node
crypto, upload with resume and per-part retry and progress lines, and
use transfer preview/apply. Small packages keep the inline path
byte-identical.
- Failure honesty: adapters/API errors fail open to existing behavior; a
part failing all attempts surfaces a durable error panel with resume
intact.
## Verification
- Server: preview-then-apply on one spool (run stays open, spool intact,
then apply completes), preview with missing parts rejected — added to
the transfer route suite (embedded Postgres).
- UI suite: large file takes the chunked path (manifest shape, part
uploads, progress, apply on a resumed transfer, single-shot endpoints
never called), small file stays single-shot, part failure after three
attempts surfaces the error panel without running preview, resume
re-uploads only the missing part.
- CLI: manifest slicing/hashing, threshold behavior for zip and folder
sources, folder-zip round-trip through the real zip reader, upload
resume/retry/exhaustion/already-completed, full-command chunked and
small-zip inline flows.
- Server, ui, cli typechecks clean. Exact counts in the PR checks.
## Risks
- The 48 MB threshold only routes between two verified paths; behavior
below it is untouched.
- Chunked CLI imports use the board-scoped transfer routes, so oversized
CLI imports need board credentials (agent tokens keep the agent-safe
small-file path). No privilege change — board actors already had the
generic routes — but the two size regimes differ semantically; called
out for review.
- A CLI dry-run over the threshold uploads parts before previewing; the
spool persists (24 h sweep) and a later apply resumes without re-upload
— inherent to preview-against-spool.
Stacked on #11223 — merge that first; this PR then shows only the
preview endpoint and client changes.
## Model Used

verification).

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent adapters use execution targets to exchange input and output
with sandbox processes
> - The sandbox input path can expose partial files, and the poller can
delete or stop on invalid input
> - These timing windows can lose agent input without a clear error
> - This pull request makes host writes atomic and makes the poller
retry invalid files before it drops them
> - The benefit is reliable sandbox input delivery with visible failure
after bounded retries
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Closes#10874
## What Changed
- Decode host input into a temporary file, then rename it onto the final
JSON path.
- Apply the same atomic write pattern to the filesystem client.
- Parse each input file before deletion.
- Retry parse failures and drop a file after the bounded retry limit
with an error event.
- Add regression tests for empty, partial, and permanently malformed
input files.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target-stdin-race.test.ts` passes
5/5 tests.
- Related sandbox callback, execution target, and sandbox execution
suites pass 71/71 tests.
- TypeScript checks pass for the changed files.
- The regression suite fails on the old code and passes on this change.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change affects sandbox input file handling and adds
bounded retry behavior.
- A permanently malformed file now creates an error event after the
retry limit.
> This bug fix does not add a core feature, so a roadmap change is not
needed.
## Model Used
Codex, OpenAI GPT-5, current agent runtime, large context window, tool
use and code review support.

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: `ui/`, `server/`, and browser performance tooling.
**Problem or motivation**
The issue detail page performs a large client bootstrap and request
fan-out, but the repository lacks stable user-timing boundaries and a
repeatable benchmark. That makes performance changes difficult to
compare and allows regressions to be judged from anecdotes instead of
consistent evidence.
**Proposed solution**
Add stable header/content paint measures, development/QA-only lifecycle
vital reporting, aggregate server timing for the issue endpoint, and a
seeded Playwright command that runs warm/cold scenarios under throttled
and unthrottled profiles with N≥5 median reporting.
**Alternatives considered**
Ad hoc DevTools recordings were rejected because they are not repeatable
or reviewable. Production telemetry was rejected because this baseline
should not change production data collection. A unit-only harness was
rejected because it cannot capture browser bootstrap, rendering, and
network waterfall costs.
**Roadmap alignment**
The roadmap calls for agent performance to be measurable over time. This
change applies that evidence-first principle to a core operator page and
does not duplicate a listed roadmap deliverable.
**Additional context**
The generated report includes warm and cold medians, TTFB/FCP/LCP where
applicable, request and byte totals before first useful content,
JavaScript bytes, and issue endpoint server timing.
## What Changed
- Added `issue-detail:navigate→header-paint` and
`issue-detail:navigate→content-paint` user-timing measures to the issue
detail page.
- Added development/QA-only TTFB, LCP, and INP console reporting without
production telemetry delivery.
- Added `Server-Timing` for `GET /api/issues/:id`.
- Added `pnpm exec playwright test --config
tests/perf/issue-detail/playwright.config.ts`, which seeds an isolated
instance and runs N≥5 warm/cold samples under unthrottled and Fast 4G/4x
CPU profiles.
- Added Markdown, raw JSON, and Chrome-trace outputs with median
baseline tables and waterfall data.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `npx playwright test --config
tests/perf/issue-detail/playwright.config.ts --list`
- `pnpm exec playwright test --config
tests/perf/issue-detail/playwright.config.ts` — passed 20 samples in 9.4
minutes (5 runs × 2 scenarios × 2 profiles) for the baseline;
post-review integrity reruns also exercised the corrected paths, while
this shared runner intermittently killed Chromium processes, so the rig
now performs one bounded browser-crash retry per sample.
- Baseline medians: warm unthrottled 278/447 ms header/content; cold
unthrottled 646/646 ms; warm throttled 1240/2060 ms; cold throttled
3932/3933 ms.
## Risks
- Low product risk: the new browser measurements are development/QA
tooling and the UI timing work does not change visible layout.
- `Server-Timing` exposes only aggregate handler duration, not query
contents or private identifiers.
- Native INP reporting uses supported browser event timing entries and
silently no-ops where unsupported.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The task detail page uses a chat-style thread with a right sidebar;
the sidebar has a Plan tab and an Artifacts tab (#11101 made this UI the
default)
> - The Plan tab only showed the one issue document named `plan`, and
the Artifacts tab only listed formal work products; other agent-authored
documents (for example a `synthesis` doc) and agent-attached files were
invisible in the sidebar
> - Users could see an agent mention a document in the thread but had no
way to find that document in the sidebar, which breaks trust in the task
view as the record of the work
> - This pull request surfaces every non-system issue document in the
Plan tab, composes the Artifacts tab from work products, documents, and
agent-created attachments, and gives thread images a full-screen
lightbox with download
> - The benefit is that anything an agent produces on a task is now
reachable from the sidebar, while user uploads stay with their comments
in the thread
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11101 (chat-style task UI default — this PR extends its sidebar).
**Subsystem affected**
Task detail UI (chat-style thread sidebar): Plan tab, Artifacts tab, and
thread attachment rendering in `ui/src`.
**Current behavior**
The Plan tab renders only the issue document literally named `plan`. The
Artifacts tab renders only formal work products. Agent-authored
documents with any other name, and files agents attach to comments, do
not appear anywhere in the sidebar. Thread images open as bare links.
**Proposed behavior**
The Plan tab lists every non-system issue document, with the `plan`
document first and the others rendered inline below it. The Artifacts
tab composes three sources — work products, issue documents, and
agent-created comment attachments — deduplicated against
attachment-backed work products via `metadata.attachmentId`, and shows
whenever any source is non-empty. Work-product rows without a resolvable
attachment or document fall back to links found in their metadata so
they stay clickable. Images in the thread open a shared full-screen
lightbox with a download action. Files uploaded by users stay
thread-only and are not mixed into the Artifacts tab.
**Reason and benefit**
Agents routinely produce documents that are not named `plan` and attach
files to their comments. Users reading the thread must be able to find
every one of those outputs from the sidebar. Redundant surfacing is
acceptable; an unfindable document is not.
**Breaking changes**
None. This is additive rendering; no schema or API changes.
## What Changed
- `IssuePropertiesPlansTab.tsx`: renders all non-system issue documents,
`plan` primary, others inline below via `MarkdownBody`
- `IssuePropertiesArtifactsTab.tsx`: composes work products + documents
+ agent-created attachments with dedupe; rows without an
attachment/document target fall back to `metadata` links
- `IssueProperties.tsx`: Artifacts tab visibility now derives from the
composed source set
- New `ui/src/lib/issue-artifacts.ts`: pure composition/dedupe logic,
unit-tested
- New `ui/src/components/task-chat/task-chat-attachments.ts`: splits
agent vs user comment attachments, unit-tested
- `TaskChatBubble.tsx`: thread images open the shared full-screen
lightbox with download
- `useIssueDocuments.ts`: hook now exposes the full issue-document list
## Verification
- `pnpm typecheck` — passes across the workspace
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 CLEAN
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run src/lib/issue-artifacts.test.ts
src/components/task-chat/task-chat-attachments.test.ts
src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx` — 74 tests pass
- Manual: open a task whose agent created a document not named `plan`
(for example `synthesis`); confirm it appears in the Plan tab below the
plan and in the Artifacts tab; confirm an image the agent attached
appears under Artifacts; confirm a user-uploaded image stays only in the
thread and opens full screen with a download button
Snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated for this visual change,
per the `doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md` entry "Per-change snapshot
verification demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)".
## Risks
- Low risk: rendering-only change scoped to the task sidebar and thread
bubbles; composition logic is pure and unit-tested
- Dedupe relies on `metadata.attachmentId` linkage; a work product with
malformed metadata would render as a duplicate row (cosmetic only)

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to coordinate
AI-agent work
> - Opening an issue fans out into several authenticated issue-detail
reads, so repeated work on that path directly affects perceived latency
> - Those reads repeated issue and authorization lookups, returned full
private JSON even when unchanged, and performed non-critical bookkeeping
writes on the request path
> - Interaction reads also performed lifecycle writes even though `GET`
must be read-only
> - This pull request adds request-scoped reuse, private conditional
responses, read-only interaction access, and bounded write debouncing
without crossing actor, request, or company boundaries
> - The result is less database, serialization, logging, and
response-body work while preserving authorization and interaction
lifecycle invariants
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This is the server-only latency phase. Related work is tracked
separately in #10415 (aggregate view), #10416 (warm navigation, merged
into the base), and #10463 (bundle split). This pull request
intentionally excludes those scopes.
**What happened?**
Opening an issue detail view caused avoidable server costs: repeated
issue and authorization reads within one request, full private JSON
responses when a representation was unchanged, writes during
interaction-list reads, production debug transport setup, and immediate
bookkeeping writes for cloud tenant activity and board-key usage.
**Expected behavior**
All successful JSON `GET /api/issues/:id/*` responses should support
strong private ETags and `304 Not Modified`. Repeated work may be reused
only within the current request. `GET /interactions` must not modify
stored interactions. Non-critical activity timestamps may be debounced
without weakening authentication or stale instance-admin cleanup.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start Paperclip in local development or self-hosted server mode.
2. Open one issue and request its detail subresources with the same
authenticated actor.
3. Repeat a successful JSON request with its `ETag` in `If-None-Match`.
4. Observe `304 Not Modified`, no interaction writes from `GET
/interactions`, and unchanged authorization boundaries.
**Deployment mode / installation**
- Local development or self-hosted server
- Built from source
- Core server behavior; not adapter-specific
## What Changed
- Added strong ETags and `Cache-Control: private, must-revalidate` to
successful JSON reads under `/api/issues/:id/*`, including
standards-compliant `If-None-Match` handling.
- Added request-scoped promise memoization for issue and authorization
lookups; no authorization result survives the request.
- Made `GET /interactions` read-only, moved supersession and
terminal-state handling to mutation paths, and prevented plugin callers
from accepting or rejecting interactions after an issue closes.
- Removed the production debug-file logger transport while preserving
development formatting.
- Debounced cloud-tenant activity and board-key `lastUsedAt`
persistence, while keeping stale instance-admin deletion unconditional
and authentication checks per request.
- Added focused tests for ETags, request isolation, authorization
lifecycle behavior, interaction invariants, logger configuration, and
retry-safe debounce behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/private-json-etag.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interaction-routes.test.ts` — 2 files,
23 tests passed.
- Focused Vitest run covering request memoization, authorization,
interactions, plugin orchestration, logger, cloud tenant, board auth,
and issue services — 9 files, 264 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed.
- Scope guardrails: 21 changed files under `server/src`; no lockfile,
workflow, migration, UI, aggregate-view, or bundle-split changes.
## Risks
- Strong ETags hash each successful serialized JSON response. This adds
a small CPU cost but avoids transferring unchanged bodies.
- Debounced bookkeeping timestamps can lag by the bounded debounce
interval. They are non-critical usage metadata; authentication still
runs per request, and stale instance-admin deletion remains
unconditional.
- Legacy pending interactions on terminal issues are projected as
expired by reads and are finalized only by mutation paths. The stored
record remains unchanged on `GET` by design.
- No database schema or migration changes are included.
> This is a focused performance correction and does not duplicate a
planned core feature in `ROADMAP.md`.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex using `gpt-5.3-codex` for the initial implementation and
`gpt-5.6-sol` for isolation, verification, and PR preparation, with
reasoning, repository tool use, code execution, and GitHub CLI access.
The runtimes did not expose authoritative context-window sizes.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Decisions desk shows work that needs an operator response.
> - It also exposed decision-training actions and a separate training
library.
> - Paperclip does not plan to use these training surfaces now.
> - Keeping inactive controls makes the Decisions workflow harder to
scan.
> - This pull request removes the training UI and keeps the backend
snapshot contract unchanged.
> - The benefit is a smaller and clearer Decisions workflow without a
data migration.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The Decisions desk currently exposes training controls, training state,
and a separate training library route.
**Subsystem affected**
`ui/` — React and Vite board UI.
**Current behavior**
Operators can open a training library from the Decisions toolbar. They
can also mark a decision for training from rows and inspect the result
in a drawer.
**Proposed behavior**
Remove the training controls, badges, drawer, library pages, and routes
from the Decisions UI. Keep the server APIs and stored training examples
unchanged.
**Reason and benefit**
The product does not plan to use decision training now. Removing the
unused surfaces reduces Decisions UI noise and avoids presenting a
workflow that operators should not use.
**Breaking changes**
The `/decisions/training` UI routes are no longer registered. Existing
server endpoints and stored decision-training data remain compatible.
## What Changed
- Removed decision-training controls and state from Decisions toolbars,
rows, queue pages, and shelves.
- Removed the training drawer, library, inspector, API client, helpers,
query keys, and routes.
- Added route and row regressions that assert training UI does not
return.
- Updated the Decisions Storybook description to match the available
controls.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/App.test.tsx
ui/src/components/AttentionQueueRow.test.tsx` — 32 tests passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — all gates clean.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- `pnpm test:run` — server and UI partitions passed. The CLI partition
had one environment-only failure because this agent runtime injects
static AWS credentials. The exact CLI file passed all 8 tests when those
credential variables were unset.
- Searched `ui/src` and `ui/storybook` for the removed training routes,
drawer, library, badges, and actions. Only negative regression
assertions remain.
## Risks
- Low implementation risk. This change deletes UI-only entry points and
does not change the database or server APIs.
- Saved training-page URLs no longer render a board route. This is the
intended behavior.

first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, model `gpt-5.6-sol`, with `xhigh` reasoning. The runtime
did not expose the context-window size. The agent used repository tools,
shell execution, and automated tests.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip helps operators supervise AI-agent work.
> - The Mine inbox keeps tasks that need an operator's attention in one
place.
> - Operators can archive a task from its detail page after they finish
triage.
> - That action is easy to select accidentally and did not offer

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Archiving a task from the Mine inbox removed it and showed a success
toast with no recovery action.
**Expected behavior**
The success toast should offer Undo. Selecting Undo should restore the
task through the existing unarchive API while preserving a consistent
inbox view.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open a task from the Mine inbox.
2. Select the archive action.
3. Observe that the task leaves the inbox and the success toast has no
Undo action.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced on `master` before this change.
**Deployment mode**
Local dev, built from source.
Related prior work: #9931 and #10668.
## What Changed
- Add an Undo action to the successful inbox archive toast.
- Optimistically restore the task in captured inbox query caches before
the unarchive request completes.
- Cancel in-flight inbox fetches and clear the local archive guard so
stale responses cannot hide the restored task.
- Reapply the archive guard and remove the cached task if the unarchive
request fails.
- Add regression tests for successful Undo, the in-flight cache race,
and failed Undo rollback behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx
ui/src/lib/inboxArchiveCache.test.ts` — 51 tests passed on the final
head.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- `pnpm test:run` — the general server and UI groups passed. One CLI
doctor assertion detected injected host AWS credentials and passed all 8
tests with those unrelated variables unset. A task-watchdog scheduler
test also passed all 18 tests in isolation after one full-suite timing
failure.
## Risks
Low risk. The change uses the existing unarchive endpoint and inbox
cache helpers. Undo failure returns the task to its archived state,
shows an error toast, and invalidates the inbox queries for server
reconciliation.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip helps operators manage AI-agent companies.
> - Operators create tasks and comments through shared rich-text
editors.
> - These editors show slash-command and mention matches in a floating
menu.
> - Modal dialogs treat that body-level menu as outside content and
cancel its wheel and touch movement.
> - This pull request keeps scroll events inside the floating menu and
preserves native scrolling.
> - The benefit is that operators can reach every match with a mouse
wheel, a trackpad, or a touch screen.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this bug.
**What happened?**
Slash-command and mention menus could contain more matches than their
visible height. When an editor was inside a modal dialog, the modal
scroll lock canceled wheel and touch movement on the body-level menu
portal. Operators could not scroll to later matches.
**Expected behavior**
The autocomplete menu must scroll with a mouse wheel, a two-finger
trackpad gesture, and a vertical touch gesture. Keyboard selection and
normal editor behavior must stay unchanged.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open a task or comment editor inside a modal dialog.
2. Enter a slash command or mention query that has more matches than the
menu can show.
3. Try to scroll the menu with a wheel, trackpad, or touch gesture.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`7ea2068ef8` on `master`.
**Deployment mode**
Local development UI built from source.
## What Changed
- Keep wheel and touch movement inside the shared autocomplete menu
portal.
- Add vertical overscroll containment while preserving native momentum
scrolling.
- Add a regression test that mounts the real dialog and verifies that
wheel and touch movement stay uncanceled.
## Verification
- `pnpm --dir ui exec vitest run src/components/MarkdownEditor.test.tsx`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `env -u AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -u AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY pnpm test:run`
- `pnpm build`
The two AWS variables are omitted from the full test command because
this agent runtime injects static AWS credentials. One unrelated CLI
doctor test correctly warns when those credentials are present. The CI
environment does not inject them.
## Risks
- Low risk. Event propagation stops only on the open autocomplete menu
portal.
- Ancestor listeners no longer receive wheel or touch movement from that
menu. Native menu scrolling and option-level touch handling still
receive the events.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies and their work
> - Each user can let agents tidy that user's Mine inbox
> - The profile control saves either an open policy or an agent
allowlist
> - Explicit inbox archive requests checked only the separate
`inbox:manage` grant
> - This made the saved profile control ineffective for explicit user
targets
> - This pull request makes authorization honor the target user's saved
policy
> - The benefit is that the UI control and the API now enforce the same
user choice
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
An agent received `403 inbox_cross_user_grant_required` when it archived
an issue with an explicit `userId`. The denial occurred even when that
user had enabled inbox management for the agent in Profile Settings. The
authorization service checked only `principal_permission_grants` for
explicit targets and ignored the saved user inbox policy.
**Expected behavior**
An explicit target is allowed when the target user saved an `open`
policy or an allowlist that contains the agent. An unsaved default-open
policy must remain limited to the responsible-user path. A scoped
`inbox:manage` grant must remain an administrative override.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Save an inbox-agent allowlist for a user.
2. Include the acting agent in that allowlist.
3. Call `POST /api/issues/{issueId}/inbox-archive` with that user's
explicit `userId`.
4. Observe the incorrect `403 inbox_cross_user_grant_required` response
on the previous implementation.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced on `7ea2068ef8`.
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted server.
**Installation method**
Built from source with pnpm.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific. This is a core authorization bug.
**Database mode**
External Postgres in production. The regression tests use embedded
PostgreSQL.
**Access context**
Agent bearer authentication.
Related foundations: #9658 and #9724.
## What Changed
- Read the target user's saved inbox-agent policy before the
explicit-target decision.
- Allow saved `open` policies and matching allowlists for explicit
targets.
- Keep unsaved implicit-open policies responsible-user-only.
- Keep scoped `inbox:manage` grants as administrative overrides.
- Add service and route regressions for allow, deny, archive, unarchive,
and audit metadata.
- Update the implementation contract and agent-facing inbox API
guidance.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/authorization-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/inbox-archive-routes.test.ts` — 66 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change is limited to explicit inbox targets with a saved
policy.
- A missing policy row still denies explicit cross-user access.
- A non-matching allowlist and a disabled policy still deny access
unless a scoped administrative grant applies.

> Follow-up to #11208 (merged): rebased onto master and ready for
review.
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The release channels promote artifacts along canary → nightly → beta
→ stable, with the happy path being promotion of an existing build
> - When one or two targeted fixes are needed before a beta or stable,
the only options today are waiting for the next nightly or absorbing a
whole day of unrelated master changes
> - The channel model was designed with an escape hatch for exactly
this: short-lived candidate branches carrying only cherry-picked fixes
> - This pull request implements candidate-branch beta builds with full
verification, documents the stable fix path through the
soak-justification gate, and adds the release captain's checklist
> - The benefit is that a surgical fix can ship forward without either
delay or blast radius, with its provenance recorded
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11008 — completes the fix-path half of the channel model
introduced there.
**Subsystem affected**
Release automation: `scripts/release.sh`,
`.github/workflows/release.yml`, `doc/RELEASING.md`, new
`doc/RELEASE-CHECKLIST.md`, tests.
**Problem or motivation**
Beta promotion only accepts commits that already shipped as a nightly,
and stable promotion expects a soaked beta. There is no supported way to
ship one or two cherry-picked fixes between lanes: an urgent fix must
wait for the nightly cycle or pull in every unrelated master change from
the day. The original channel design called for candidate branches to
cover this, and they were deferred from the initial implementation.
**Proposed solution**
Candidate-branch beta builds: cut `candidate/beta-<target>` from a
nightly's source commit, cherry-pick the fixes, and dispatch `channel:
beta` with the new `candidate_branch` input. Selection enforces the
naming convention, rejects heads that already shipped as a beta or
predate the candidate tooling, and records the cherry-picked commits in
the job summary. Because candidate heads never went through a canary or
nightly, publication is gated on a full `release-verify` run (promoted
nightlies keep skipping re-verification). The stable fix path
(`candidate/release-<target>` as `source_ref`) works through the
existing soak gate: the justification requirement is the deliberate,
recorded trade-off for shipping unsoaked bits, and is now documented as
such.
## What Changed
- `scripts/release.sh`: `--from-candidate` flag (beta only) waives the
shipped-a-nightly requirement while keeping the duplicate-beta guard
- `.github/workflows/release.yml`: `candidate_branch` dispatch input;
candidate mode in `select_beta` (naming validation, duplicate and
tooling-era rejection, cherry-pick recording); new
`verify_beta_candidate` job gating candidate publishes on full
verification
- `doc/RELEASING.md`: beta fix-path and stable fix-path sections
- `doc/RELEASE-CHECKLIST.md` (new): the release captain's checklist for
all four lanes as built
- Tests: dry-run fixture coverage for `--from-candidate` (waives the
nightly guard, keeps the duplicate guard, rejected outside beta) and
wiring tests for candidate validation plus the verification gate
## Verification
- `node --test` on the four affected suites: 42 pass in total (17 + 25
across the two runs), including the 5 new tests
- `bash -n` on `release.sh`; YAML parse of the workflow
- After merge: exercise the path end to end the first time a real
cherry-picked beta is needed — dispatch with a `candidate/beta-*` branch
and confirm the summary records the picks and verification runs
## Risks
- Candidate builds bypass the smoke-tested-nightly provenance by design;
the compensating controls are full verification before publish, the
post-publish beta smoke, the human `npm-beta` gate, and recorded
cherry-picks
- The stable fix path rides the existing justification mechanism rather
than adding a second bypass — one recorded escape hatch, not two

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task comments can contain references to files in project and
execution workspaces.
> - Paperclip detected path-shaped inline code and showed it as an
actionable file chip.
> - The UI did not first confirm that the current board session could
open the file.
> - Missing, denied, ambiguous, remote, and unsupported files therefore
looked actionable and failed after a click.
> - This pull request adds an issue-scoped availability check and
promotes only confirmed files to chips.
> - The benefit is that the task thread shows a file action only when
that action can succeed.
## 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.

work
> - The release subsystem's promotion lanes publish to npm, then push a

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11008 — the incident occurred promoting that change's own merge
commit, the first workflow-modifying commit to flow through the lanes it
introduced.
**Subsystem affected**
Release automation: `.github/workflows/release.yml`, `doc/RELEASING.md`,
workflow wiring tests.
**Problem or motivation**
Run 31445344811 published `2026.811.0-nightly.0` to npm, then failed
pushing `nightly/v2026.811.0-nightly.0`: `refusing to allow a GitHub App
to create or update workflow .github/workflows/release.yml without
workflows permission`. The tagged commit modifies workflow files, and
GITHUB_TOKEN may not create refs pointing at such commits from dispatch
or scheduled runs (push-event runs are exempt, which is why the canary
tag on the same commit succeeded). The job failed with no explanation
and the Docker dispatch never ran.
**Proposed solution**
Wrap the nightly, beta, and stable tag pushes: on rejection, write the
exact recovery commands into the job summary — create and push the tag
with maintainer credentials, dispatch `docker.yml` at the tag, and for
stable also run `create-github-release.sh` — then fail the job. Document
the cause and recovery in the failure playbooks and pin the three
recovery blocks with a wiring test.
## What Changed
- `.github/workflows/release.yml`: recovery-summary wrappers on the
nightly, beta, and stable tag-push steps
- `doc/RELEASING.md`: failure-playbook entry for the
workflows-permission rejection
- `scripts/__tests__/release-verify-workflow.test.mjs`: wiring test
asserting all three lanes carry the recovery summary
## Verification
- Wiring tests: 6 pass; YAML parse of the workflow
- The recovery commands are exactly the ones used to resolve the real
incident (tag push + `docker.yml` dispatch for
`nightly/v2026.811.0-nightly.0`)
## Risks
- Low. The happy path is unchanged (a successful push skips the
wrapper); the failure path trades a bare error for actionable output and
still fails the job, since the release state is genuinely incomplete

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The release channels (canary → nightly → beta → stable) select by
install target, and users discover them today only through
maintainer-oriented docs
> - A user who wants to know "which lane am I on, and what else is
there" has no self-serve answer
> - The channel rollout planned a read-only CLI command for exactly this
> - This pull request adds `paperclipai channels`: every lane with the
version its dist-tag resolves to, the install command for it, and which
lane the running install follows
> - The benefit is self-serve lane discovery without reading release
documentation
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11008 — the user-facing discovery surface for the channel model
completed there.
**Subsystem affected**
CLI: `cli/src/commands/channels.ts` (new), `cli/src/index.ts`,
`doc/CHANNELS.md`, tests.
**Problem or motivation**
Channel selection is install-based (`@latest` / `@beta` / `@nightly` /
`@canary`), but nothing in the product tells a user which channel their
install follows or what the other lanes currently resolve to. The
information lives in `doc/CHANNELS.md` and the npm registry, neither of
which a running install surfaces.
**Proposed solution**
A read-only `paperclipai channels` command: prints each channel with the
version its dist-tag currently resolves to (per-lane registry lookups
that degrade to `unavailable` individually), the install command for
each, and the running install's lane parsed from its version suffix —
source checkouts carry the repository's placeholder version and are
reported as unmapped rather than guessed. `--json` emits the same data
for scripting.
## What Changed
- `cli/src/commands/channels.ts` (new): channel table, lane parsing,
registry resolution, human and `--json` output
- `cli/src/index.ts`: registers `channels`
- `doc/CHANNELS.md`: "Seeing where you are" section
- `cli/src/__tests__/channels.test.ts` (new): lane parsing including
unknown versions, full resolution against a fake runner, per-lane
degradation, table/dist-tag sync
## Verification
- `vitest run cli/src/__tests__/channels.test.ts`: 5 pass
- `pnpm typecheck` in `cli/`
- Live run against the real registry shows all four lanes with their
current versions (`2026.722.0` / `2026.811.0-beta.0` /
`2026.811.0-nightly.0` / canary) and correctly reports a source checkout
as unmapped
## Risks
- Low. Read-only command reusing the existing `resolvePublishedVersion`
registry helper; no state, no auth, no publish surface

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip helps operators manage agent skills across a company.
> - The installed skills view groups project-backed skills into folders.
> - The view showed two folder creation controls and only offered a
global project scan.
> - Operators need one clear folder action and a refresh action for the
selected project.
> - This pull request keeps folder creation in the folder rail and adds
a scoped project refresh.
> - The benefit is a calmer skills view and faster, more precise project
skill updates.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this focused UI bug.
**What happened?**
The installed skills view repeated the folder creation action in the
toolbar. A selected project folder also had no way to refresh only its
own project skills.
**Expected behavior**
The folder rail must own folder creation. A selected project-backed
folder must offer a refresh action that scans only that project and
refreshes the skill and folder queries.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open the installed skills view for a company with project-backed
skill folders.
2. Select a project folder.
3. Observe the duplicate folder action and the absence of a
project-scoped refresh action.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced before this two-commit fix on `master`.
**Deployment mode**
Local development with `pnpm dev`.
## What Changed
- Removed the duplicate toolbar folder creation button when the folder
rail exists.
- Preserved the toolbar folder action when no folder rail exists.
- Added a refresh action beside the breadcrumb for a selected
project-backed folder.
- Passed the selected project ID to the project scan API.
- Refreshed both the installed skill list and skill folder data after
scans.
- Added component tests for compact folder creation, the empty-folder
fallback, and scoped project refresh.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/pages/CompanySkills.test.tsx` — 20 tests
passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed with all three gates clean.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- `pnpm test:run` — the server and UI stages passed 7,475 tests. The CLI
stage then found one environment-sensitive AWS doctor assertion because
this agent runtime injects static AWS credentials.
- `env -u AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -u AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY pnpm exec vitest
run cli/src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts --project paperclipai` — all 8
tests passed.
- GitHub CI — all latest-head checks passed.
## Risks
- Low risk. The scoped refresh depends on the existing `project:<id>`
folder system key.
- The global scan path is unchanged.
- There are no schema, migration, API contract, dependency, workflow, or
documentation changes.

## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 family. The runtime did not expose a more specific
model ID or context-window size. The agent used high-reasoning mode,
repository tools, GitHub tools, and code execution.

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The inbox helps operators scan parent tasks and their sub-tasks
> - Operators can fold a parent task to hide its sub-tasks
> - The inbox previously forgot that fold state after a page refresh
> - This pull request stores the fold state for each company and
restores it when the inbox loads
> - The benefit is that the inbox keeps the operator's chosen task
layout across page refreshes
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The inbox reset every folded parent task after a page refresh. This made
all nested sub-tasks visible again.
**Expected behavior**
The inbox must keep each folded or unfolded parent state after a page
refresh. The state must remain separate for each company.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open the inbox with parent and child tasks.
2. Fold one parent task.
3. Refresh the page.
4. Observe that the child task is visible again without this fix.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Current `master` before this pull request.
**Deployment mode**
Local dev and built-from-source deployments.
## What Changed
- Added company-scoped local storage helpers for collapsed inbox parent
IDs.
- Restored the stored parent fold state when the inbox mounts or the
selected company changes.
- Saved both direct toggle changes and explicit collapse changes.
- Added helper tests and an inbox remount regression test for both
folded and unfolded states.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/lib/inbox.test.ts
ui/src/pages/Inbox.test.tsx` — 77 tests passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — all gates passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` — passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- `pnpm test:run` — 3,521 tests passed and four skipped. One unrelated
server test on the current base fails because it reads
`heartbeat.scheduling_suppressed` instead of `issue_commented`; the same
test fails alone and this pull request changes only inbox UI files.
## Risks
- Low risk. The state is local to the browser and scoped by company ID.
- Old parent IDs can remain in local storage after tasks are deleted,
but they do not affect visible tasks.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents publish static pages with the paperclip-page skill and its
`publish.sh` helper
> - The skill docs told operators to bind the page-uploader IAM keys as
the global `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` / `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`
> - Static env keys have precedence over `AWS_PROFILE` in the AWS CLI
and in all AWS SDKs
> - Because of this, each agent run lost the host role identity and lost
access to Secrets Manager and other AWS services
> - This pull request adds namespaced credential variables that apply
only to the helper's own `aws` calls
> - The benefit is a stable host AWS identity in agent runs, with no
change to page publishing
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists. Description of the problem:
**What happened?**
Agent runs on a host with `AWS_PROFILE` set lost access to AWS Secrets
Manager. The failures looked intermittent. The cause is deterministic:
the page-uploader keys were bound as global `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` /
`AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` in agent run environments. These static keys
shadow `AWS_PROFILE`. Each process in the agent run then used the
S3-upload-only uploader identity.
**Expected behavior**
The page-uploader credentials apply only to the page publish helper. All
other processes keep the host identity from `AWS_PROFILE`.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Set `AWS_PROFILE` to a role with Secrets Manager access.
2. Export `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` / `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` for an IAM user
without that access.
3. Run `aws sts get-caller-identity`. The identity is the IAM user, not
the role.
4. Run `aws secretsmanager list-secrets`. The call fails with
`AccessDeniedException`.
## What Changed
- `publish.sh` reads `PAPERCLIP_PAGE_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and
`PAPERCLIP_PAGE_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, with optional
`PAPERCLIP_PAGE_AWS_SESSION_TOKEN`.
- The helper applies these values only to its own `aws` invocations. It
clears ambient `AWS_PROFILE` and `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN` for those calls.
- Credential precedence is: namespaced key pair, then
`PAPERCLIP_PAGE_AWS_PROFILE`, then the ambient credential chain.
Existing global-name bindings continue to work during migration.
- Validation: the key pair must be set together. The pair plus
`PAPERCLIP_PAGE_AWS_PROFILE` is an error. A session token without the
pair is an error.
- `SKILL.md` and `README.md` now instruct operators to bind the secrets
under the namespaced names and explain the shadowing hazard.
## Verification
- Run `node --test
.agents/skills/paperclip-page/scripts/publish.test.mjs`. All 11 tests
pass.
- New tests cover: the incomplete key pair, the pair-plus-profile
conflict, the token-without-pair error, and a fake-`aws` environment
capture that proves the helper's calls see the page keys while
`AWS_PROFILE` and `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN` stay unset.
- Run `bash -n .agents/skills/paperclip-page/scripts/publish.sh` for a
syntax check.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change is contained in one skill helper and its
documents.
- The ambient credential chain remains the fallback, so current
deployments do not break before operators rebind the secrets.
- Operators must rebind the two page secrets to the namespaced names to
get the benefit. The README documents this.

Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The release subsystem promotes builds along canary → nightly → beta
→ stable, and each publish job checks out the promotion's source commit
and runs that tree's release tooling
> - The first beta dispatch failed with `unexpected argument: beta`: the
selected nightly's source predated the beta channel, so its `release.sh`
did not know the argument
> - The failure was clean (argument parsing, nothing published) but
cryptic, and the same trap waits for any promotion of a source older
than its target channel's tooling
> - This pull request makes the selection jobs reject such sources with
an actionable error and documents the property
> - The benefit is that a bootstrapping or old-source promotion fails in
seconds with instructions, instead of mid-publish with a parser error
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11008 — the guard hardens the beta promotion flow introduced
there, after its first dispatch surfaced the gap described below.
**Subsystem affected**
Release automation: `.github/workflows/release.yml`, `doc/RELEASING.md`,
workflow wiring tests.
**Problem or motivation**
Run 31444045044 (first beta dispatch) failed in `publish_beta` with
`unexpected argument: beta`. Promotions deliberately build from the
pinned source commit, which means they also run that commit's
`scripts/release.sh` — and a source that predates the target channel's
introduction cannot publish it. Nothing guards this today; the error
surfaces deep in the publish job with no explanation.
**Proposed solution**
Guard at selection time: `select_nightly` requires the source canary's
`release.sh` to know the nightly channel, and `select_beta` requires the
source nightly's `release.sh` to know the beta channel. Each guard
literally matches the channel case arm and fails closed with a clear
message naming the remedy (promote a newer source). Document the
tooling-era property in `RELEASING.md` and pin the guards with a wiring
test.
## What Changed
- `.github/workflows/release.yml`: tooling-era guards in
`select_nightly` and `select_beta`
- `doc/RELEASING.md`: documents that promotions run the source commit's
release tooling
- `scripts/__tests__/release-verify-workflow.test.mjs`: wiring test
pinning both guards
## Verification
- Wiring tests: 5 pass
- Guard expressions exercised against real commits: accepts the
beta-capable merge commit of the beta-channel change, rejects a pre-beta
commit
- YAML parse of the workflow
- After merge: the next beta dispatch selects a beta-capable nightly and
passes the guard
## Risks
- Low. Selection-time check only; the guards match the channel case arm
literally and fail closed (with the same actionable message) if that
line is ever reformatted

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Company import lets an operator bring a package of agents into an
instance, and each agent declares which adapter runs it (Claude Code,
Codex, and so on)
> - The export and the server importer preserve each agent's adapter
faithfully, but the Import page seeds an adapter override for every
agent with the destination CEO's adapter before the user touches
anything
> - Every imported agent therefore arrives as the CEO's adapter (usually
Claude Code) even when the source package holds a mix, and the picker

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A user imported a company package whose agents were a mix of Claude Code
and Codex on the source instance. After the import, every agent was
configured as Claude Code. The import preview showed no sign that
anything had been changed. Cause: the Import page initializes its
adapter-override map by assigning every agent the destination CEO's
adapter type and sends that override for every agent, overriding the
manifest's per-agent adapter server-side. For imports into a new
company, the "CEO adapter" is read from whichever unrelated company is
currently selected.
**Expected behavior**
Imported agents keep the adapter declared in the package. An override is
sent only when the operator explicitly picks a different adapter, or
when the source adapter is not installed on the destination — and in
that case the page must say so per agent, not silently substitute.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. On a source instance, create a company with one Claude Code agent and
one Codex agent, and export it.
2. Import the package on another instance whose CEO uses Claude Code,
changing nothing in the import dialog.
3. Both agents arrive configured as Claude Code; the Codex identity is
gone.
## What Changed
- The preview no longer seeds adapter overrides; the override map starts
empty, and the picker displays each agent's manifest adapter
(`ui/src/pages/CompanyImport.tsx`).
- `buildFinalAdapterOverrides` sends an entry only when the effective
adapter differs from the manifest or the agent's adapter config was
edited — untouched agents flow through with no override.
- The page fetches the destination's installed adapters (existing
`adaptersApi.list()` client). When a manifest adapter is missing or
disabled on the destination, only that agent defaults to the CEO's
adapter, with a visible amber warning naming both adapters. If the
adapters request fails, the page fails open: manifest adapters are kept
and no coercion happens.
- Tests: untouched mixed-adapter import sends no overrides; a
user-changed agent sends exactly one; a missing destination adapter
produces the fallback plus rendered warning for that agent only; an
adapters-endpoint failure produces no coercion.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run ui/src/pages/CompanyImport.test.tsx` — 19 passed (15
pre-existing + 4 new).
- `pnpm --filter ./ui typecheck` (`tsc -b`) — clean.
## Risks
- Behavior change: users who previously relied on the silent conversion
(importing packages that reference adapters they don't have) now get an
explicit per-agent fallback with a warning — same outcome, visible. The
server's hard rejection of unknown adapter types remains the backstop
for API callers.
- UI-only change; no server or schema impact.
## Model Used
- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`) via Claude Code CLI, with extended
thinking and tool use (multi-agent implementation with independent
verification).

storm, and paused teams stay paused until the operator activates them
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
After importing a company package with automations paused, a batch of
"productivity review" tasks appeared roughly six hours later — one for
every imported in-progress task — each with an owner-agent wakeup. The
user described it as jarring and wasteful. Cause: `importIssues`
fabricates `startedAt = now()` for imported in-progress rows, and
`reconcileProductivityReviews` considers any assigned in-progress task
without checking whether the assignee agent is paused, so its
long-active-duration evidence (6 h threshold) trips on the fabricated
timestamp.
**Expected behavior**
An import with paused automations must be quiescent: no destination
sweep should generate work from imported rows until the operator
unpauses the imported team. A paused agent must not accumulate review
tasks it cannot act on.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Import a company package containing tasks with status `in_progress`
assigned to agents, with "pause automations" enabled.
2. Wait for the productivity-review reconcile (runs at startup and on
the heartbeat scheduler tick) more than six hours after the import.
3. Observe one new review task plus an owner wakeup per imported
in-progress task.
## What Changed
- `importIssues` no longer fabricates `startedAt` for imported
`in_progress` rows; it inserts null (`server/src/services/issues.ts`).
Audited every consumer of `issues.startedAt` — all are null-tolerant,
and normal checkout/status-transition paths set the value when work
really starts.
- `reconcileProductivityReviews` skips candidates whose assignee agent
is `paused`, counting them as skipped
(`server/src/services/productivity-review.ts`). This is a general rule,
not import-specific: a paused agent cannot act on a review.
- Tests: paused-assignee candidate with an old `startedAt` creates no
review, and creates one after unpausing; imported in-progress issue
lands with null `startedAt` (embedded-Postgres import test); the
pre-existing long-active regression test still passes.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/productivity-review-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-portability-import-batching.test.ts` — 20
passed, 1 pre-existing opt-in benchmark skip.
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts` —
78 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — clean.
## Risks
- Behavior change beyond imports: tasks assigned to paused agents no
longer receive productivity reviews anywhere. This is intended — the
review would target an agent that cannot respond — and reviews resume on
the first reconcile after unpausing.
- Imported in-progress tasks now carry no `startedAt` until real work
starts on the destination. The one sweep that read the fabricated value
is the one this PR quiets; all other consumers fall back safely (audit
in the commit body).
- Low risk otherwise: no schema change, no API shape change.

> Follow-up to #11006 (merged): rebased onto master and ready for
review.
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The release subsystem now publishes canary (every master push),
nightly (scheduled, smoke-gated, added in #11006), and stable (manual)
> - There is still no human-approved release-candidate lane between
nightly and stable, and nothing enforces that a stable actually soaked
anywhere before shipping
> - Betas need a real approval gate, and stables need a soak policy that
is data, not prose
> - This pull request adds the beta channel: a manual promotion of a
chosen nightly behind the `npm-beta` environment gate, re-smoked after
publish, plus a stable preflight that enforces a 3-day beta soak with a
written-justification bypass
> - The benefit is a complete canary → nightly → beta → stable train
where every stable shipped as a beta first, and emergencies leave a
written trace
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Release automation: `scripts/release.sh`, `scripts/release-lib.sh`,
`.github/workflows/release.yml`, `.github/workflows/docker.yml`,
`.github/workflows/release-smoke.yml`.
**Problem or motivation**
After #11006 the project has canary and nightly prerelease lanes, but no
release-candidate lane. Stable promotion has no enforced soak: any ref
can ship as stable directly. There is no approval boundary for a
broader-audience prerelease, and no structured way to record why an
emergency release skipped validation.
**Proposed solution**
Add a `beta` channel: a manual dispatch that promotes a chosen nightly's
source commit, publishes behind the `npm-beta` GitHub environment
(required reviewers are the gate), re-smokes the published beta, and
tags `beta/vX`. Enforce in the stable path that the source commit
shipped as a beta at least 3 days earlier (measured from the beta's npm
publish time), with a `skip_soak_justification` input as the recorded
emergency bypass.
**Alternatives considered**
Codifying the soak policy in docs only. Rejected: an unenforced policy
decays; the preflight makes the policy executable while the
justification input keeps the emergency path usable and auditable.
## What Changed
- `scripts/release.sh` + `scripts/release-lib.sh`: `beta` channel —
requires HEAD to carry a `nightly/v*` tag, publishes the package set as
`YYYY.MDD.P-beta.N` under dist-tag `beta`, tags
`beta/vYYYY.MDD.P-beta.N`
- `.github/workflows/release.yml`:
- `channel: beta` dispatch path: `select_beta` resolves the newest (or
an explicit `source_version`) nightly and fails loudly on selection
problems; `publish_beta` runs behind the `npm-beta` environment, pushes
the tag, and dispatches `docker.yml`; `smoke_beta` re-runs the release
smoke suite against the exact published beta version
- stable path: new `preflight_stable` job enforces the 3-day beta soak
from the beta's npm publish time; `skip_soak_justification` bypasses
with the reason echoed into the job summary; dry runs report without
blocking
- `.github/workflows/docker.yml`: `beta/v*` tags publish `:beta` on both
images, with exact version stamping
- `.github/workflows/release-smoke.yml`: `beta` added to the dispatch
choice list
- Docs: `CHANNELS.md` beta entries; `RELEASING.md` beta lane, soak gate,
and failure playbook; `RELEASE-AUTOMATION-SETUP.md` `npm-beta`
environment setup, including the warning to create the environment
before the first beta dispatch (GitHub auto-creates unprotected
environments on first reference)
- Tests: beta version-counting coverage in
`scripts/release-registry-versions.test.mjs`; beta identity and
nightly-tag guard coverage in
`scripts/__tests__/release-dry-run-notes.test.mjs`
## Verification
- `node --test` on the two touched suites: 17 pass, including the 3 new
beta tests
- `bash -n` on both shell scripts and YAML parse of all three workflows
- After merge, in order: create the `npm-beta` environment, dispatch
`channel: beta` with `dry_run: true` to preview, then a real promotion
of a published nightly through the approval gate, then a stable dry-run
against a young beta to see the soak gate report
## Risks
- If the `npm-beta` environment does not exist when the first beta
dispatch runs, GitHub creates it with no protection rules and the beta
publishes without approval. Mitigated by documentation and by creating
the environment before merge (operator step)
- Until the first beta exists, every stable dispatch requires
`skip_soak_justification`. This is deliberate — the first beta ships
immediately after this merges — but it is a behavior change to the
stable dispatch
- The soak clock reads the beta's npm publish time from the registry; a
registry outage makes the preflight fall back to requiring justification
(fail-closed)

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip connects AI agents to local and remote runtimes.
> - The Codex local adapter needs a safe device-login flow.
> - A future sandbox integration needs strict prompt validation, secret
protection, cleanup, and private credential storage.
> - This pull request adds tested building blocks for that flow.
> - The result gives a later Daytona integration a clear security
boundary.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue covers this change.
**Problem or motivation**
The Codex local adapter has no safe, reusable flow to prove device login
inside an isolated sandbox.
**Proposed solution**
Add parser, runner, credential export, and proof helpers. Validate the
prompt, protect login data, store credentials in a private run-scoped
home, and dispose all sandbox resources.
**Alternatives considered**
Do not connect a production Daytona driver in this change. Use an
injected sandbox driver and focused tests first. This keeps the security
controls testable before live provider integration.
**Roadmap alignment**
The change extends the Codex local adapter. It does not add a core
Paperclip route or duplicate a planned core feature.
**Additional context**
The flow keeps the login URL, code, and token out of logs, results, and
errors. The proof home uses a company-scoped root and a run-scoped
private directory.
## What Changed
- Add a pure parser for the exact Codex device-login URL and one-time
code shape.
- Add a sandbox runner with prompt handling, timeout, cancellation, and
disposal.
- Add a credential export step with company scoping, path checks,
payload checks, private modes, locking, and cleanup.
- Add redacted device-login fixtures and focused tests for parsing,
secret redaction, runner outcomes, credential export, and cleanup.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local exec vitest run`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local exec tsc
--noEmit`.
- Review tests for strict URL and code validation, timeout,
cancellation, disposal, secret redaction, path safety, payload safety,
file modes, and cleanup.
## Risks
- This change provides building blocks, not a live Daytona proof.
- A later integration must connect the runner to a concrete sandbox
driver.
- Credential export depends on existing Codex authentication cache
helpers.
- Incorrect path or payload assumptions can reject valid credentials.
## Model Used
Codex, GPT-5, tool use, code execution, and repository review. The
Paperclip runtime controls the exact context window and reasoning mode.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Release smoke testing:
`tests/release-smoke/docker-auth-onboarding.spec.ts`.
**Problem or motivation**
Nightly run 31431273139 failed in the smoke Playwright suite: the spec
expects the old wizard step "Create your first agent", but current
builds show the redesigned mission-first flow (front door → company →
mission → team lead → connect model → review). The page snapshot in the
run artifact shows the "Define your mission" step where the spec
expected the agent step. Both retries failed identically — this is
deterministic spec drift, not flake.
**Proposed solution**
Rewrite the spec for the current flow: fill the company name, define the
mission directly (confirming creates the company), name the team lead,
hire it through the adapter step — the adapter environment probe reports
unhealthy in the CLI-less smoke container by design and must not block
the hire — then launch to the dashboard. Assert the company, the
ceo-role agent, and the company goal through the API. The first-task and
assignment-run assertions are removed together with the wizard flow that
created them.
## What Changed
- `tests/release-smoke/docker-auth-onboarding.spec.ts`: rewritten for
the mission-first wizard; sign-in and wizard-opening helpers and the
company-name step are unchanged
## Verification
- Full local run against the real nightly candidate: launched the smoke
container for `paperclipai@2026.810.0-canary.3` via
`scripts/docker-onboard-smoke.sh` (with the #11189 bind fix), then ran
`pnpm run test:release-smoke` against it — 1 passed (4.5s)
- After merge: dispatch `release.yml` with `channel: nightly` to run the
full gate in CI
## Risks
- Low. Test-only change. The spec now asserts less about first-task
creation because the wizard no longer creates a first task; if a
first-run trigger returns to onboarding, the spec should grow that
assertion back
