Aron PrinsandClaude Opus 4.8 27d7a5ab4c Release docs for paperclip v2026.831.1 (#120)
Syncs docs to parent release **v2026.831.1** (cumulative from
`v2026.824.1`, via merge-base `664052f`). Authored fresh against the
release tag; every claim verified at the tag.

## What changed

**New**
- **Kimi Code adapter** (`kimi_local`) — new reference page, wired into
the adapters overview, nav, and anchor-map source mapping.

**Reference**
- **Env vars** — `PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACE_REAPER_COOLDOWN_DAYS`, opt-in
`SENTRY_DSN`, and the operator controls `PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS` /
`PAPERCLIP_SETTING_DEFAULTS`.
- **Instance Settings** — new "operator controls for hosted deployments"
section (hide surfaces / override defaults).
- **Node.js floor → 24.11.0** across installation, setup,
local-development, plugin dev, Modal, and the getting-started/terminal
guides.
- **Grok adapter** — `permissionMode` no longer defaults to `dontAsk`;
when unset no flag is passed, and `--always-approve` is the unattended
policy.
- **CLI `agent`** — Kimi skills install path (`~/.kimi-code/skills`) +
`KIMI_CODE_HOME`.

**Guides**
- **Onboarding** — rebuilt around a single-card wizard that opens on
creating your agent; the mission step is gone, the goal is set
afterward.
- **Settings unification** — Invites folded into a Members tab, one
shared settings nav, and the company brand color + per-company
attachment size limit removed (also reflected in the Companies and Cases
APIs).
- **Governance behavior** — silent-run detection and stranded-task
recovery no longer act on their own; agent thought text is excluded from
automatic comments; invalid agent credentials now return `401`.

**Changelog** — entry added for v2026.831.1.

## Gates

- `docs:build`, SEO metadata, crawlable-links, sitemap-lastmod
(194/194), lint-links, verify-nav — all pass.
- **Edit verification:** every new high-confidence claim verified at the
tag.
- **Tag-accuracy gate:** 31 files checked, **0 post-tag leaks**, 30
clean, 1 review (below).

## ⚠ Drift (Verify before acting — not auto-resolved)

Medium-confidence REST-route drift in `docs/reference/api/companies.md`
— the import-transfer routes may no longer exist at these paths (likely
a false negative from prefix/dynamic registration; confirm before
editing):

- `POST /api/companies/import/transfers`
- `PUT /api/companies/import/transfers/{transferId}/parts/{partIndex}`
- `GET /api/companies/import/transfers/{transferId}`
- `POST /api/companies/import/transfers/{transferId}/preview`
- `POST /api/companies/import/transfers/{transferId}/apply`

## ⚠ Review

- `docs/reference/adapters/kimi-local.md` — new page; the only flagged
claim is the `secret-id` JSON **example placeholder** (not a real
identifier). Authored directly from the adapter's config surface at the
tag.

## Screenshots (deferred)

288 of 342 registered screenshots are stale (org-wide rename +
settings/onboarding rewrites), tracked in `SCREENSHOTS_PENDING.md`.
Recapture is a follow-up pass — **the merged pages describe the new
onboarding/settings UI while screenshots still show the old flow until
then.**

Aron PrinsandClaude Opus 5 325c9eb819 seo: hand-write titles and descriptions for all 192 pages (#115)
## Why

The build derived `<title>` from the **sidebar label** and the
description from the **first paragraph clipped to 220 characters**. Both
are the wrong source. A sidebar label is written for a 240px-wide nav
that supplies its own context; a search result has none.

On production that produced:

- **7 pages titled "Overview"**, and 32 pages sharing a title with
another page
- **109 of 193 descriptions cut off mid-word**, and 174 over 160
characters (where Google truncates)

```
/guides/welcome/key-concepts/
  BEFORE (220):  ...and if you misunderstand them early, the product wi
```

Near-identical titles are the weak-differentiation signal behind
"crawled — currently not indexed", which is the exact symptom on this
property.

## What changed

`seo_title` and `seo_description` frontmatter on **every one of the 192
pages**, written by hand against each page's real content and optimised
for the click — lead with what the reader can do, name the concrete
things covered, no keyword stuffing, no repeating the title.

| | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Duplicate titles | 32 pages | **0** |
| Duplicate descriptions | — | **0** |
| Descriptions cut mid-word | 109 | **0** |
| Descriptions over 160 chars | 174 | **0** |
| Title length (incl. suffix) | up to "Overview" | **26–60** |
| Description length | 31–240 | **122–158** |

**No prose was rewritten.** I measured content overlap between the
colliding pairs first — only 17–23%, so these were always distinct pages
wearing the same label, not duplicate content. The `docs/` diff is **564
insertions, zero deletions**.

### Examples

```
BEFORE — all seven identical:  "Overview | Paperclip Docs"
AFTER:  "Adapters Overview"      "API Overview"        "CLI Overview"
        "Deployment Overview"    "Bundled Skills"      "Optional Skills"
        "Experimental Features"

BEFORE — both identical:  "Issues | Paperclip Docs"
AFTER:  "Issues: Creating and Tracking Work"   /guides/day-to-day/issues/
        "Issues API"                           /reference/api/issues/
```

```
/guides/getting-started/five-minute-path/
BEFORE (220):  The shortest route from a running Paperclip instance to an agent that has
               just completed work for you. After Paperclip is installed, the path takes
               about 5 minutes: create a company, hire a CEO agent, approve its first s
AFTER  (131):  Install Paperclip, create a company, hire a CEO agent, and approve its
               first strategy — a working AI company in about five minutes.
```

## Plumbing

- **`site/build-release.mjs`** prefers the authored fields; the derived
path stays only as a fallback the CI gate prevents ever reaching.
`<title>`, `<meta name="description">`, and the `TechArticle` JSON-LD
all read from the same source.
- **`site/app.js`** uses the same fields, so a client-side transition
cannot leave a different title on screen than the crawler was served.
Verified in-browser: navigating `/guides/day-to-day/issues/` →
`/reference/api/issues/` swaps to exactly the server-rendered values, no
JS errors.
- **`scripts/verify-seo-metadata.mjs`** (new) enforces presence,
uniqueness, length, complete-sentence endings, and the
frontmatter-safety rules. Wired into `docs:test` and CI as its own step.

I negative-tested the gate rather than assuming it works — it correctly
fails on a duplicate title, a mid-word description, and a missing field,
and passes again once restored.

## Automating it going forward

`skills/sync-docs/SKILL.md` now:

- gains an **"Authored SEO metadata"** section: why the fields exist,
the enforced rules as a table, and how to actually write them (title
names the subject not the nav position; description writes for the
click; never generate mechanically from the first paragraph — *that is
the fallback the gate exists to prevent*).
- requires both fields in the **page-authoring instruction** given to
every subagent, with guidance on when to update an existing description
versus leave it.
- runs `docs:test:seo-metadata` and `docs:test:crawlable-links` as
**fail-loud gates in Phase 7** before commit.
- documents all six build gates in the files/gates section.

So once this lands, a new page cannot ship without hand-written
metadata, and a title collision cannot reach production.

## Verified

All six verifiers pass:

```
Static route verification passed
Asset fingerprint verification passed
Hierarchical Skills nav verification passed
Skill source block verification passed (11 skill pages, 1 control page)
Crawlable-link contract passed: 40886 internal links across 194 pages resolve in one hop
Authored-SEO contract passed: 192 pages carry a unique, hand-written seo_title and seo_description
```

631a6a0c53 Release docs for paperclip v2026.817.0 (content + screenshot overhaul) (#95)
Ships the v2026.817.0 docs to live: the doc content that was authored
and verified
earlier, plus a full screenshot overhaul.

The content half (`cdf81e2` and the nightly commits behind it) has
already been
reviewed. **The screenshots are the part that needs eyes** — `f24d734`,
342 PNGs.

## Screenshots

Everything was recaptured against the release commit
`213dabab4f8e1f3bb1803a2924c0fea1289fcd4c`
(`upstream/candidate/release-2026.817.0`). The previous shots were 375
parent-commits stale (v2026.720.0), with 228 of 310 entries flagged
pending. All
342 registry entries now carry that SHA.

> ⚠️ Worth knowing: the release commit is **not** an ancestor of the
parent's
> `master`, and local `master` was four days *older* than it. Capturing
against
> `master` would have both missed release UI and leaked 93 post-tag
commits' worth
> of UI into the release docs.

### New coverage (34 entries)

Three guides shipped with **no images at all** despite being 115–136
lines. They
now have them:

| Guide | Shots |
|---|---|
| `guides/day-to-day/decisions.md` | queue, an agent-proposed decision
with its options, triage strip, filter panel, named queue, Decided
curtain, empty state |
| `experimental/status-cards.md` | board, New card dialog, and all four
drawer tabs |
| `experimental/task-chat.md` | thread, composer mode picker, side pane
|
| `reference/api/secrets.md` | the board-side Proposals tab |

Chat-Style Tasks is captured in a **separate pass**:
`enableTaskChatRedesign` is
instance-wide, so leaving it on would have turned every classic
issue/task/work-mode
shot into the redesigned chat.

## Two defects that were already live

Both were shipping in the docs before this PR:

1. **`issues/detail-chat.png` and the `tasks/*` shots were mostly plugin
debug
output.** The Kitchen Sink example plugin mounts a panel into the issue
page
that dumps the raw issue JSON, and the seed installed it. Those guides
were
illustrating a debug panel instead of the task page. The seed no longer
   installs it.
2. **The seeded task thread was a monologue** — four board-user messages
in a row,
because the board actor cannot post agent comments. It is now a real
two-sided
   exchange.

## Targets repointed because the UI moved

| Target | Why |
|---|---|
| `activity/*` | `Activity.tsx` deleted; `/activity` renders
`pages/audit/CompanyActivity.tsx` |
| `experimental/cloud-upstream` | `CloudUpstream.tsx` deleted; the route
now redirects to `/company/export` |
| `settings/*`, `plugins/*`, `adapters/*` | `/instance/settings/*` are
legacy redirects now |
| `dashboard/stale-tasks-panel` | panel removed from `Dashboard.tsx` —
target dropped |

Plus eight targets with **silent selector drift**. A failed interaction
step falls
back to "whatever state was reached", so these had been quietly
producing wrong
images — a plain inbox where the doc promised a mode picker, a whole
dashboard
where it promised one panel. Full table in
`docs/user-guides/screenshots/SCREENSHOTS_PLAN_v2026.817.0.md` §C2.

## Pipeline

Decisions, status-card summaries and secret proposals are all
**agent-authored**,
and the board actor the seed runs as is refused by every one of them
(`"Agent run context required"`, `"Secret proposals require a verified
run-bound
agent token"`). Rather than insert rows behind the API,
`seed-new-surfaces.mjs`
borrows the two doors a real run already has — a board-minted agent API
key, and a
locally signed agent JWT — so every write goes through the production
code path.

Also:
- `capture.mjs` records a real `captured_against` on a detached checkout
instead of
the literal string `"HEAD"` (which is what every pre-2026.817 entry
recorded), and
  gains a `scrollTo` step for content below the fold.
- `run.mjs` gains `--serve` for iterating on the seed, the task-chat
phase, and a
keeper that holds the demo board's issue statuses steady — the demo
`process`
agents finish runs without declaring a disposition, so the stalled-work
sweep
re-blocks issues every few minutes over a capture that runs far longer.

## Reviewing

Light and dark both captured at 1440×900 @2x. The new surfaces are the
ones to
scrutinise; the rest is a like-for-like refresh.

### One leftover

Dropping `dashboard/stale-tasks-panel` leaves
`{light,dark}/dashboard/stale-tasks-panel.png`
tracked but unused — they need deleting by hand.

Aron PrinsandClaude Opus 4.8 2ab76e8e4b docs: fix goals reparenting, human-invite signup, macOS install, first-company step (#80)
Addresses open documentation-feedback issues, each verified against the
`paperclipai/paperclip` source.

## Changes

- **Goals — reparenting (#13):** The goal properties panel renders the
parent goal as a read-only link (unlike issues, which have an editable
parent picker), and the goal update mutation never sends `parentId`. The
docs claimed you could "change the parent field" in the panel. Corrected
to describe the real path — `paperclipai goal update <id> --parent-id
<id|null>` / `PATCH /goals/{id}` — and removed "parent" from the list of
panel-editable fields.
- **Add a human teammate — signup (#50):** The reported "Email and
password sign up is not enabled" is thrown by Better Auth when
`emailAndPassword.disableSignUp` is set, which Paperclip wires from
`auth.disableSignUp` / `PAPERCLIP_AUTH_DISABLE_SIGN_UP`. Added a
troubleshooting callout naming the cause and how to re-enable
self-service signup.
- **Installation — macOS Apple Silicon (#74):** The Terminal install
path had no troubleshooting section. Added a note for the embedded
PostgreSQL start failure caused by missing `libzstd`/`liblz4`
compatibility symlinks, with a copy-paste fix.
- **Create your first company (#16):** Renamed the step 4 heading from
"Save and continue" to "Create the company" to match the actual **Create
Company** button.

## Verification

- `sync:lint-links` passes — 186 markdown files, no broken internal
links.
- Product-behaviour claims (#13, #50) confirmed directly in parent
source; #74 documents the reporter's symptom (doc-gap confirmed, not
independently reproduced).

Closes #13, #16, #50, #74

87bcacc731 docs: move desktop app guidance to unofficial community page (#65)
## Summary

- Add a dedicated **Community Desktop App (unofficial)** guide covering
installation, Local/Remote modes, server connections, updates, and
troubleshooting.
- Clearly identify `aronprins/paperclip-desktop` as
community-maintained, unofficial, and unsupported by the Paperclip team.
- Remove the desktop app as a primary installation/start path across the
installation, update, quickstart, glossary, terminal setup,
export/import, and overview docs.
- Register the new page under **How-to Guides → Deploy & Maintain** and
retain small cross-links where desktop-specific guidance is useful.

## Verification

- `npm run docs:build` — passed on the final PR branch.
- `sync:lint-links` — previously passed across 162 files with no broken
links.
- `sync:verify-nav` — previously passed with only two pre-existing
orphan pages.
- `docs:test:static-routes` — previously passed.
- Verified the new route, sitemap entry, and cross-links in the built
`.site` output.

Closes PAP-14693.
