0ea1994fa7 Release docs for paperclip v2026.1023.0 (#156)
## Summary

Release docs for Paperclip **v2026.1023.0** (parent tag commit
`1b4c8038`).

- **Window:** `v2026.1012.0` → `v2026.1023.0`. The tag was cut from
parent `master` at 2026-10-12, so the cumulative window is the
merge-base `22a3ea34` → `1b4c8038`. That's 200 commits and 2,501 files,
with no compare truncation.
- **Branch:** cut from `nightly` (`1b81e21`). Nightly had drafted
against parent master up to `043f2514` (Oct 22), which is 496 commits
past the tag. Most of nightly's #151–#155 work is post-tag.
- **Review:** six reviewers checked all 161 changed pages hunk by hunk
against a local checkout of the tag, using post-tag history
(`1b4c8038..043f2514`) to date each claim. The tag-accuracy gate was
then re-run on the result.

**Headline doc changes:**
- **New pages (21):**
  - [Custom model providers](docs/connectors/custom-model-providers.md)
  - [Decision Models API](docs/reference/api/decision-models.md)
  - [Cases](docs/experimental/cases.md)
  - [External agents: OpenAI Dot](docs/experimental/external-agents.md)
  - [Agent cryptographic identity](docs/guides/org/agent-identity.md)
- [Agent complaints and
suggestions](docs/administration/agent-commentary.md)
  - [Runtime Commands](docs/reference/cli/runtime.md)
- 14 connector guides: Bitly, Calendly, Context7, Enterpret, Exa,
Firecrawl, Gauge, GSC Wizard, Make, Parallel Search, Superagent, Tavily,
Telem.AI and Windsor.ai
- **Updated pages:**
  - Private tasks and projects, with sharing and inherited privacy.
- Costs: estimated, unpriced and subscription spend, the Overview
breakdowns, provider cost reports, and the Decisions view.
  - Operators get default company editing permissions (#15377).
  - Agent setup checks and your primary agent.
  - Slack: automatic setup and **Require at-mention**.
  - The simplified dedicated GitHub App setup.
  - Cursor and Pi on Paperclip Runner, and the **Harness** label.
  - Expanded assistant MCP tools and the `paperclip:configure` scope.
  - CSV and HTML artifact previews.
  - The plugin agent lifecycle contract.
- Server-host AI sign-in, and new Linear, Airtable and Hugging Face
methods.
- A changelog entry, and 102 pages stamped `paperclip_version:
v2026.1023.0`.

### ⚠ Post-tag leaks removed

These document parent `master` features that are **not in
v2026.1023.0**. They stay on `nightly` for a later release.

- **Pages removed (7):**
  - `connectors/github-copilot.md` (92b23813)
  - `connectors/google-workspace.md` (23b2ceb0)
  - `connectors/braintrust.md` (92cfd701)
  - `connectors/daytona.md` (0b62c736)

  - `connectors/speko.md` (22d05644)
  - `connectors/prompt-injection-prevention.md` (2c96f767)

Their nav entries and catalog rows are already removed, and no page
links to them.
- **Reverted to `main`:**
  - 54 pages whose nightly changes were all post-tag. That includes:
- The Google per-app "no longer listed" notes and Gmail archive
(23b2ceb0, e4ce9890).
- The skills guide and the company-skill-policy API (repository packages
and auto-updates: a9830414, 473c80d1, df4ee06e).
    - The Cases API (handoffs and workflows: 505e1a55, 0a5f1546).
- The companies API (observability and prompt injection: ac9459ba,
2c96f767).
- `deploy/docker.md`, the claude-code and hermes adapters, and
`cli/agent.md` / `cli/service.md` (`--runner`, managed-shim guard).
  - The rest only changed Sources-link SHAs or had nightly-only wording.
- **Sections trimmed:**
- The Runner-default rollout, its upgrade notice and `runner` fields
(adb69e8f, 8193abb9, 39e44a9d, 734c2653).
  - Grok Bot and Muse (b8ffeb97, e6dcc6b0).
  - Task workspaces and plugin project storage (f329b24e, 8b4ab65b).
  - Task Retry and recovery status lines (d33b40a5).
- The commentary read API, `commentary:view`, and Pipelines removal
(e6dcd1e8, e5927e1d, 90777488).
  - Scoped and async budget enforcement (30b753f6).
- Plugin WebSocket routes, agent detail tabs, resource-lifecycle
delivery and Runner tasks (42715d45, db65a086, 33cc567f).
- Slack managed Cloud setup and DM at-mention changes (f0e12c85,
df06df23).
- Review-bot queued-comment, reconnect and naming changes (3b8324a2,
52459590, 7eea9d82).
  - OpenRouter attribution headers (9179d8dc).
  - Agent, project and routine search (7b9334cd).
  - Artifacts upload (762d680d).
- Env-var rows: `NATIVE_HARNESS_BACKUP_*`, `WORKSPACE_COMPACTION_*`,
`GIT_CACHE_*`/`GIT_BASE_*`, `SKILL_VERSION_RETENTION_*`, `NATIVE_MCP_*`
and `SENTRY_RUN_FAILURES`.
  - `/api/liveness` (a0651c96).
- Source links pinned to post-tag commits now point at the tag commit.

### ⚠ Drift

Checked against the tag (`check-drift --against 1b4c8038`). There are 33
candidates, the same set as the last nightly runs:
- **High:** `PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACE_GIT_SCAN_*`,
`PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACE_GIT_SNAPSHOT_TIMEOUT_MS`, `PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_API_*`,
`PAPERCLIP_MCP_AUTHORIZATION_ORIGIN` and `PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_CONNECTOR_*`
are known false positives. They're read through helpers or `env.`
receivers the checker doesn't scan.
- **High:** `PAPERCLIP_ID_CONNECTOR_*` is documented as retired, which
is intentional.
- Verify: `agent-avatars` (`:file` param), `companies/import/transfers*`
(constant route path), `chats/{agentRef}` (`router[method]` loop), and
`mcp/requests/{id}` plus the Dot pairing routes (array registration in
`public-mcp.ts`). These are known false positives.

### ⚠ Verification Failures / review notes

- **Tag-accuracy gate false positives:**
- `cli/runtime.md`: `--sha256` is a `.requiredOption` in
`cli/src/commands/runtime.ts`. `SSL_CERT_FILE`, `SSL_CERT_DIR` and
`NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS` are passed through by key list in
`buildPiSetupEnvironment`.
- `plugins/sdk.md`: `ENVIRONMENT_ACQUISITION_PROVIDER_STATES` is an SDK
export.
- `skills.md`: `PAPERCLIP_HELPER_STATE_DIR` is read in the skill's
upload script.
- `adapters/cursor-local.md`: the `acpx*` fields are validated in
`paperclip-runner-permissions.ts`.
- **New pages the gate can't auto-confirm:** each was confirmed by hand
at the tag, against the app definitions, routes and UI.
- **Claims kept on weaker evidence (commit message or UI string, not
code) — please eyeball:**
  - "a new bot starts in mentions-only mode" (github-setup).
  - "Mentions work in issue and PR descriptions" (review-bot setup).
  - Airtable's "HTTPS or localhost" sign-in note.
  - The "37 tools" figure on assistant-connections.
  - Reservation semantics on the costs guide.

### Screenshots

142 of 278 screenshots depend on UI files changed in this window (see
`SCREENSHOTS_PENDING.md`). They were last captured against v2026.1012.0
(#150), and a recapture is still pending.

### Checks

`docs:build` and `sync:check` pass: no broken links, and the only
orphans are the four pre-existing ones (`you-com`, `hosted-beta` and the
two intentional CLI redirect pages). All eight `docs:test` suites pass.

### After merge

1. Confirm the `docs/v2026.1023.0` tag was created.
2. Run `node scripts/sync/realign-nightly.mjs release/v2026.1023.0
--push`.
3. Re-apply this branch's decisions on `nightly`.
4. Flip `nightly`'s state back to `branch_mode: nightly`.
5. Verify docs.paperclip.ing serves the changelog entry and new pages.

v2026.1023.0 Webflow Connector Let agents work with Webflow sites and CMS collections. How roles limit reach, CMS content versus publishing, a read test, and troubleshooting.

Webflow

Agents can work with your Webflow sites — reading site structure and working with CMS collections and their items.

The practical case is CMS content: an agent drafting, checking, or updating collection items. Webflow also exposes Designer tools for canvas, styles and layout at the same endpoint, but they carry a prerequisite that rarely suits agent work — see Designer tools.

Before you connect

  • A Webflow account with access to the sites you want agents to use.
  • Your workspace and site roles decide what the connection can reach. A limited role means a limited connection, which is often what you want.

Connect Webflow

  1. Open Connectors and select Webflow.
  2. Read the access line above the main button. It says who the connection signs in as and which agents can use it. To pick a different identity, narrow the agents, or use another sign-in method, select Change.
  3. Select Continue to Webflow and complete browser sign-in, authorizing the sites you want when Webflow asks.

Paperclip registers its client automatically, so there is nothing to configure in a developer console.

Choose access

Site reach is Webflow's decision: the sites the authorizing account can access under its workspace and site roles, plus whatever you authorized. Paperclip has no site picker.

The distinction that matters most is between changing content and making it live:

Operation Effect
Reading sites, collections, and items Nothing changes
Creating or updating CMS items Changes content in Webflow
Publishing Makes changes visible on the live site

Warning: Publishing is the consequential one. A publish can push every pending change on a site live, not only the item an agent was working on — including edits colleagues had staged and not yet finished. Keep publish actions Off and let a person publish from Webflow.

See Set action permissions for setting each of these.

Designer tools

Webflow's MCP server does expose Designer tools — canvas, styles and layout — and they are served from the same endpoint this connector uses. They are not unavailable; they are conditional.

The condition is a companion app. Webflow states that "the MCP Companion App must remain open in the Webflow Designer for Designer API tools to function," launched from the Apps panel with the Designer open. Close it and the canvas operations stop working.

That prerequisite is a poor fit for unattended agent work, because it requires a person to have the Designer open for the duration. Plan Designer work as something a person drives, and use this connector for CMS content.

Note: We have not run Webflow Designer tools through Paperclip. What is established here is the provider's own requirement, not a tested Paperclip result — so if you do try it, treat it as unverified and start on a site that does not matter. Webflow's MCP getting started is the authority on the current tool surface.

Try it

List the CMS collections on the marketing site and tell me how many items are in the blog collection. Do not create, change, or publish anything.

Compare against the Webflow dashboard. Reading collection structure confirms the credential and the site scope without touching content or the live site.

Note: Illustrative task, not a recorded test result. Substitute a site and collection from your own account.

Troubleshooting and limitations

Problem Likely cause Fix
A site is missing The account's workspace or site role does not include it, or it was not authorized Adjust the role in Webflow, or reconnect and authorize it
A CMS field is missing Certain field types are not exposed, or the field is on a different collection Check the collection schema in Webflow
A change is not visible on the live site CMS changes require publishing Publish from Webflow when the change is ready
A site published unexpectedly A publish action was set to Allowed Set it to Off; review what went live in Webflow
A Designer tool fails or is unavailable The MCP Companion App is not open in the Webflow Designer; it must stay open for Designer tools to work Open it from the Apps panel, or do the design work in the Designer directly
Needs attention The grant was revoked Select Reconnect

Limitations: one Webflow account per connection. No site filter inside Paperclip. Designer tools need a companion app kept open in the Designer, so they do not suit unattended work. Webflow's plan limits apply to CMS item counts and API rates.
