## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the control plane that coordinates autonomous agent work. > - Agents need to collaborate on issues beyond their current assignment. > - Cross-issue comments and updates are useful, but an unbounded run can create cascading side effects. > - The control plane must preserve company-wide collaboration while containing each run's influence. > - Comment attribution must also show the responsible user and the acting agent in audits. > - This pull request adds run-bound cross-issue containment, attribution, and agent-class wake rules. > - The benefit is safer collaboration without restoring issue-assignee ownership restrictions. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What existing behavior does this improve?** Agent-authenticated issue comments, updates, reopen behavior, and assignee wake routing. **Subsystem affected** Cross-cutting: server routes and services, shared contracts, database schema and migration, and implementation documentation. **Current behavior** An authenticated agent can collaborate across company issues, but one heartbeat run has no per-run side-effect boundary. Comment records also do not persist the responsible user separately from the acting agent. **Proposed behavior** Require a valid heartbeat run for agent cross-issue comments and updates. Audit each attempt and cap a run at 20 cross-issue effects. Keep the cap in log-only mode until it automatically changes to enforcement at 2026-08-11 00:00 UTC. Preserve same-issue writes. Use agent-class wakes for agent comments. Keep same-run completion comments from reopening completed work. Record the responsible user on agent-authored comments and activity. **Reason and benefit** Agents can collaborate on other issues without an assignment gate, while each run has an atomic and inspectable side-effect limit. Operators can identify both the acting agent and the responsible user. **Breaking changes** After 2026-08-11 00:00 UTC, the twenty-first cross-issue comment or update from one heartbeat run returns a containment error. Agent cross-issue writes without valid run context are rejected. The migration is additive and backfills existing agent-authored comment attribution where the source data is available. ## What Changed - Added an atomic per-run counter for cross-issue agent comments and updates. - Added audit events for allowed and rejected cross-issue effects. - Added the automatic log-only to enforcement flip at 2026-08-11 00:00 UTC. - Added responsible-user attribution to agent-authored comments, activity records, shared types, and validators. - Added an additive migration and migration coverage for existing comments. - Updated reopen, resume, and wake behavior so agent comments create agent-class wakes and same-run completion comments remain inert. - Updated the implementation specification and regression coverage. ## Verification - `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/cross-issue-influence-limit.test.ts server/src/__tests__/issue-comment-attribution-audit-routes.test.ts server/src/__tests__/issue-comment-reopen-routes.test.ts packages/db/src/issue-comment-on-behalf-migration.test.ts` — 97 tests passed. - `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed, including migration safety checks. - `pnpm test:run` — server batch: 3,364 passed and 2 skipped; UI batch: 3,504 passed. One unrelated CLI doctor test warned 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` — 8 tests passed and confirmed the CLI failure was ambient-environment sensitive. - `pnpm build` — passed. ## Risks - The fixed enforcement timestamp changes production behavior automatically on 2026-08-11 00:00 UTC. Audit logs before that time provide rollout visibility. - The per-run counter serializes on the heartbeat-run row. This prevents concurrent attempts from racing past the cap but adds a small lock scope for cross-issue writes. - Existing comments can only be backfilled when their acting run or agent attribution is recoverable. > 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 GPT-5 in the Codex agent runtime. The runtime did not expose a context-window size. Reasoning, shell tools, code editing, and test execution were enabled. ## 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 - [x] 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> |

LLM Wiki
Local-file LLM Wiki plugin for source ingestion, wiki browsing, query, lint, and maintenance workflows.
Scope
This package is the standalone home for LLM Wiki behavior. Wiki-specific routes, UI, prompts, tools, local-folder templates, migrations, fixtures, and tests live here rather than in Paperclip core.
The alpha surface includes:
- manifest-declared Wiki page, sidebar entry, and settings page
- trusted local folder declaration for
raw/,wiki/,AGENTS.md,IDEA.md,wiki/index.md, andwiki/log.md - plugin database namespace migration for wiki instances, sources, pages, operations, query sessions, and resource bindings
- managed
Wiki Maintaineragent, managedLLM Wikiproject, and paused managed routines for wiki update processing, lint, and index refresh - plugin-operation issue creation using
surfaceVisibility: "plugin_operation" - local source capture into
raw/with metadata rows in the plugin DB namespace - opt-in company-scoped Paperclip event ingestion controls for issues, comments, and documents; event ingestion is disabled by default and routes captured raw provenance into the default space only
- manual Paperclip project/root issue distillation and bounded backfill actions with explicit work items, operation issues, source caps, and estimated cost recording
- Paperclip-derived distillation (cursor windows, manual
distill-now, backfill) always writes into the default wiki space in Phase 1; non-default spaces remain on manual / raw-file ingest until per-space Paperclip ingestion profiles ship - Paperclip-derived distillation maintains
wiki/projects/<slug>/standup.mdas the executive current-state view for each represented project, alongside durablewiki/projects/<slug>/index.mdknowledge pages - wiki page writes with plugin path validation, atomic local-folder writes, metadata/revision rows, backlink extraction, and optional stale-hash protection
- wiki tools for search/read/write/propose patch/source/log/index/backlinks workflows
Phase 5 Security Gate
Paperclip-derived text ingestion stays limited to issue titles/descriptions, issue comments, and issue documents.
- Issue attachments/assets are metadata-only in Phase 5.
- Issue work products are metadata-only in Phase 5.
- The wiki must not fetch
/api/assets/:id/content, dereference work-producturlfields, or store those capability-bearing links in source bundles/snapshots.
The accepted policy lives in doc/plans/2026-05-06-llm-wiki-paperclip-asset-security-gate.md.
Development
pnpm install
pnpm dev # watch builds
pnpm dev:ui # local dev server with hot-reload events
pnpm test
From the Paperclip repo root:
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-llm-wiki typecheck
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-llm-wiki test
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-llm-wiki build
Alpha Verification
Run these commands from the Paperclip repo root before handing off alpha plugin changes:
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-llm-wiki typecheck
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-llm-wiki test
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-llm-wiki build
The focused Vitest suite covers:
- standalone package boundaries and package-local harness dependencies
- required local folder bootstrap writes
- raw source capture plus ingest metadata persistence
- hidden plugin-operation issue creation for ingest/query/file-as-page workflows
- disabled and enabled Paperclip event ingestion paths
- managed routine declarations, manual distill/backfill work items, source cap handling, and backfill project/date scoping
- atomic page writes, metadata/revision rows, backlinks, and stale-hash refusal
- query session creation, run-id recording, stream event forwarding, and completion updates
- filing a streamed query answer back into the wiki through a hidden operation
Remaining alpha gaps:
- Browser screenshot capture is maintained separately under
tests/screenshots; generatedscreenshots/outputs are local artifacts and are ignored by git. - Host-level plugin install and live agent invocation still need Paperclip server/runtime smoke coverage when preparing a release candidate.
Install Into Paperclip
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:3100/api/plugins/install \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"packageName":"/Users/dotta/paperclip/.paperclip/worktrees/PAP-3179-design-a-llm-wiki-plugin/packages/plugins/plugin-llm-wiki","isLocalPath":true}'
Build Options
pnpm builduses esbuild presets from@paperclipai/plugin-sdk/bundlers.pnpm build:rollupuses rollup presets from the same SDK.
After changing manifest-loaded assets such as skills, agent instructions, or templates, recompile the local plugin before re-enabling it:
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-llm-wiki build
The package-local dist/ directory is ignored by git, but local Paperclip
installs load the compiled dist/manifest.js and dist/worker.js files at
runtime. If activation failed before the rebuild, re-enable the plugin or
restart the Paperclip dev server so the host imports the fresh bundle.

Use the settings page or bootstrap-root action to configure the folder and
write the starter files. The plugin uses Paperclip's local folder API for path
containment, symlink checks, read/write validation, and atomic writes.
Bootstrap preserves existing files rather than overwriting operator edits. The
default first-install skeleton is copied from the vanilla LLM Wiki layout, with
CLAUDE.md renamed to AGENTS.md and Paperclip project overviews, standups,
decisions, and history kept together under wiki/projects/<slug>/.
Managed Agent Instructions
Plugin-managed agent instruction bundles live under:
agents/<agent-key>/AGENTS.md
For this plugin the Wiki Maintainer source bundle is agents/wiki-maintainer/AGENTS.md.
Any additional files in that folder are installed as sibling instruction files
for the managed agent. The settings health check reports drift from these
defaults, and resetting the managed agent asks for confirmation before replacing
customized instructions.
