## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Routines page is part of the operator UI for scheduled routine
management
> - The grouped-by-folder view was not presenting folder sections inline
in the main pane
> - That made the folder grouping mode harder to scan and hid the
separation between custom folders, Unfiled routines, and built-in
routines
> - This pull request updates the Routines page rendering so folder
groups appear as inline sections and built-in routines still split into
their own section afterward
> - The benefit is that grouped routines stay readable and the page
matches the intended folder organization
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No corresponding public GitHub issue exists, so the problem is described
directly below following the bug template.
### What happened
On the Routines page, selecting Group → Folder flattened the grouped
list into a single "All routines" section with only the separate
built-in routines section below it.
### Expected behavior
Group → Folder should render one inline section per folder, keep
routines with no folder in an Unfiled section, and preserve the separate
built-in routines section after the custom folder groups.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Open the Routines page.
2. Change grouping to Folder.
3. Observe the main pane.
4. The routine list is flattened instead of grouped into folder-labeled
inline sections.
### Paperclip version / commit
Current PR head: `a8e384c838e362de3437c7a88bc7aa38b10fd9c0` on
`fix/routine-folder-grouping`.
### Deployment mode
Local development workspace for the Paperclip app UI.
## What Changed
- Updated the Routines page rendering so grouped folders render as
inline sections instead of flattening into a single list.
- Kept routines without a folder grouped under Unfiled.
- Preserved the built-in routines section after custom folder groups.
- Added and updated tests for the folder-grouped rendering behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/pages/Routines.test.tsx`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
## Risks
- Low risk: the change is localized to the Routines page rendering and
its test coverage.
- The main behavioral risk is accidental grouping regressions if future
routine-grouping logic changes without updating the tests.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool-use enabled, 256k-context class model.
