## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - Agents need source control access for repository work > - A shared token cannot preserve the responsible person's identity or an agent's dedicated identity > - GitHub App tokens also need durable refresh, repository access checks, and webhook delivery > - Paperclip already has managed connections, encrypted grants, run secret leases, and merge-confirmation behavior > - This pull request extends those systems with GitHub identities instead of adding a parallel credential system > - The benefit is durable GitHub access with explicit identity, repository, runtime, and webhook boundaries ## Linked Issues or Issue Description No public GitHub issue describes this connection change. This description follows the feature request template. **Subsystem affected** Connected Apps, connection grants, secret resolution, native Git runtime setup, webhook processing, and the Apps UI. **Problem or motivation** Users need to connect GitHub once and let agents use the correct GitHub identity. A run should use a dedicated agent account when one exists. Otherwise, it should use the responsible person's account. The connection must survive token expiry, repository access changes, and temporary instance downtime. **Proposed solution** Add user-owned and agent-owned GitHub grants to the existing connection model. Resolve one identity for MCP, Git, `gh`, health checks, and webhook bindings. Store provider tokens in the existing encrypted secret system. Refresh expiring token pairs under the existing lease and compare-and-swap path. Register signed Cloud webhook bindings and process normalized pull request and installation events through a durable local inbox. **Alternatives considered** An organization-wide GitHub token would lose person and agent attribution. Environment variables alone would bypass the managed connection and grant model. A new GitHub-only credential store would duplicate the existing secret and access systems. GitHub App installation tokens and private-key custody remain outside this first version. **Roadmap alignment** This change implements the Connected Apps direction. It also extends the shipped MCP Tool Gateway, per-agent secret access, and action-attribution systems. It does not add a repository catalog. The open repository catalog work in [#11234](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/11234) is related and complementary. ## What Changed - Added agent-owned connection grants and a per-agent credential policy with company and subject constraints. - Added a managed GitHub App method while keeping the personal access token method as an advanced fallback. - Added durable access-token and refresh-token handling with proactive rotation and one automatic recovery after a provider `401`. - Added GitHub identity and installation summaries without storing repository-name lists. - Added signed Cloud webhook binding, event lease, acknowledgement, local idempotency, pull request merge processing, and installation access handling. - Added one identity resolver for MCP, native Git, `gh`, checkout, health checks, and webhook bindings. - Added a class-3 run projection for `GH_TOKEN`, `GITHUB_TOKEN`, a `github.com`-only credential helper, SSH-to-HTTPS rewrite, and GitHub noreply commit attribution. - Added personal and dedicated-agent setup choices plus identity, repository, continuity, and webhook status in the Apps UI. - Added schema migrations, tests, and connection documentation. ## Verification - The current head is fully green in GitHub CI, including build, typecheck, all serialized/general server shards, all browser shards, policy, canary dry run, review, and security checks. - Live staging proof completed with a non-expiring GitHub App user token, selected-repository installation, repository add/remove refresh, managed MCP, native `gh`, HTTPS clone/push/delete, GitHub noreply commit attribution, signed merged-PR webhook acceptance, durable Cloud-to-instance delivery, and installation-access event processing. Temporary branches and temporary repository access were removed afterward. - `pnpm check:token-gates` passed. - `pnpm -r typecheck` passed before and after the rebase onto `origin/master`. - `pnpm build` passed. - The focused connector suite passed 285 tests after the rebase. - The full stable suite passed 5,790 tests and failed 22 tests across 8 general server files. The failures reproduced as shared-runner environment issues. They included `/tmp` versus `/private/tmp`, closed database connections, and invalid high ephemeral ports. The focused connection tests pass in isolation. ## Risks - Migrations add agent grant subjects and a durable connection-event inbox. Migration numbering and safety checks pass. - A raw GitHub user token enters the agent process for Git and `gh`. Per-tool Ask-first controls cannot limit those shell operations. The UI warns users about this boundary. - GitHub App user tokens can be non-expiring. Paperclip performs a continuity check every 30 days, but provider revocation still requires a reconnect. - The webhook path accepts only signed and bounded payloads. It stores a minimal normalized record and no raw provider payload. - GitHub repository permissions remain authoritative. Removed access can make a cached repository count temporarily stale, but runtime access fails immediately. > For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, `gpt-5.6-sol`, extended reasoning, tool use, code execution, browser control, and multi-file repository editing. The context window size was not provided. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [ ] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [x] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing> |
