d627632874 Release docs for paperclip v2026.1106.0 (#172)
Docs for parent release `v2026.1106.0` (`d69631b0`), up from
`v2026.1023.0` (`1b4c8038`): 515 parent commits.

## How this branch was built

The tag is 914 commits behind what `nightly` has drafted, so this branch
isn't cut from `nightly` HEAD. It starts at nightly commit `1952052`
(parent `043f2514`), 19 commits before the tag, then adds:

- the `main` hotfix (#160)
- the sync tooling from `nightly`
- docs for those 19 commits

Later nightly drafts stay on `nightly`, so no pages had to be removed.
No `nightly-draft/*` PRs are open.

## What changed

- **Runner by default:** new Claude, Codex, OpenCode and Pi agents start
on Paperclip Runner on supported hosts, with **Legacy runner** and
**Upgrade runner**.
- **Workspaces:** cleanup of finished workspaces, optional Git
expiration, and restore points for unsaved work. Restore points are off
by default.
- **New pages:** Prompt injection prevention, Google Workspace, GitHub
Copilot, Speko, Braintrust, Daytona, Ditto and Unikraft.
- **Breaking and upgrade notes:** the run history limit, Sentry run
failures off by default and the DSN variables, the Docker start command
for custom images, `--yes` on `instructions-file:delete`, and slower
migrations on large instances.
- **Also covered:** project repositories as skill sources, roster bulk
edit, Artifacts V1 (experimental, off by default), composer dismissal,
`expectedStatusVersion`, `unexecuted_review_stage`, and plugin workspace
providers.
- **Changelog:** a v2026.1106.0 entry in `reference/changelog.md`.

## Older text corrected

These were wrong at the tag, and most are also wrong on the live site:

- which permissions let an agent read a peer's configuration or change
instructions (`api/agents.md`)
- `decideNowCount`, which doesn't exist; the field is `deskBadgeCount`
- `file-resources` routes, which are board-only
- the **Create project** dialog fields, a CEO rule the code doesn't
enforce, and where a terminated agent's reports appear
- `instructions-file:put` and `:delete` examples that always failed
(`cli/agent.md`)
- a curl example that returned `422` (`api/cases.md`)
- Google Workspace **Reconnect** instructions, which claimed it reopens
the service picker
- the `permissionKey` table, which listed 8 of 21 keys
- drafting text at the end of `api/agents.md`

## ⚠ Please check these

- **Product behaviour that may be a parent bug.** The docs now describe
the tag's code, which you may prefer to fix upstream:
- The project **Environment** dropdown saves a choice, but runs ignore
it (`experimental/environments.md`).
- `environments:manage` is granted by roles but no environment route
checks it.
- `suggest-changes` is documented as agent-only, because only agents
have a consent path. Company skill policy decides skill edits.
- **Reader-visible mismatches in the parent UI.** The docs follow the
code. Upstream copy still mentions a "Built-in agents tab", says Copilot
"awaits qualification", and tells people to "Reconnect Google Workspace
to change access".

## ⚠ Post-tag leaks removed

Nothing to remove from an already-drafted page: post-tag surfaces such
as 1Password, Vercel, Supabase deploy, custom gateway onboarding and
Artifacts V1 as default never came onto this branch. Authors left out
post-tag hunks of the next nightly draft, and the reasons are in the run
notes.

## ⚠ Drift

None. Zero findings at the tag, from a full parent snapshot.

## ⚠ Verification Failures

The tag-accuracy gate reports one leak and nine review entries. None is
a real failure:

- **Leak:** `reference/cli/service.md`, `paperclipai payload and`. This
is a false positive; it's prose from a real message at
`cli/src/commands/service.ts:184`.
- **Review, 8 new connector pages:** the gate can't confirm new pages.
Reviewers confirmed each surface exists at the tag.
- **Review, `local_tools`:** an example value from the tag's Runner
README.

Not provable from code, and kept deliberately:

- `sandbox-providers.md` uses `sandbox.yaml`. The tag's README says
`install.yaml`, which returned 404 when checked. The upstream fix is
post-tag.
- The Google Workspace row about older OAuth brokers rests on release
notes and a design doc. The broker isn't in this repo.
- External claims about provider behaviour (for example Braintrust,
Daytona, Unikraft and Google scopes).

## ↻ Renames detected

None. The rename helper wasn't run: the 19-commit delta adds no new
adapter, skill, or plugin directories that it would check.

## Verification

All checks read a checkout pinned to the tag.

- **First round:** authors, a release-notes audit, an audit of
corrections stranded on `nightly`, an audit of 321 lines the last
realign dropped from `main` (about 130 checked directly in code), and
six fresh verifiers.
- **Second round:** seven new verifiers re-checked every changed area,
tracing behaviour rather than matching labels, and fixed about 50 more
defects. That volume means more may remain.
- **Limits of that second round:**
- Each verifier reported what it only string-matched. That includes
parts of Artifacts V1, the **Upgrade runner** notice, Copilot run
behaviour, and some Plugin SDK contract text.
  - The second-round fixes themselves weren't reviewed by a third round.
- **Gates:** `docs:build`, `docs:test` and `sync:check` pass.
- **Nothing was run against a live instance.** All of this comes from
reading code.

## Screenshots

**196 of 278 screenshots are stale and none were recaptured.** The list
is in `SCREENSHOTS_PENDING.md`. Some visibly differ from the text, such
as the removed **Run with provider trace** button and the old roster
tabs.

## After merge

1. Keep the PR title as is: `tag-docs-release.yml` reads the version
from it.
2. Confirm the `docs/v2026.1106.0` tag exists.
3. Run `node scripts/sync/realign-nightly.mjs release/v2026.1106.0
--push`, then audit for dropped lines and duplicated paragraphs, and set
`nightly` state back to `branch_mode: nightly`.
4. Check that `docs.paperclip.ing` serves the release: a new page, a new
claim, and the changelog's top entry.

v2026.1106.0 Gauge AI Visibility Connector Let agents read Gauge AI visibility, SEO, and traffic data and run content workflows, with publish actions held behind Ask first before any CMS goes live.

Gauge

Agents can work with your Gauge organization — checking how AI answer engines mention and cite your brand, researching keywords and traffic, and running Gauge's content workflows.

Gauge appears in the catalog on every instance; no experimental setting is needed.

Warning: Gauge content tools can publish to the CMS you connected in Gauge, including straight to your live site. Set publish actions to Ask first before any agent runs unattended.

Before you connect

  • A Gauge account.
  • Decide which Gauge organization this connection is for. Each connection reaches exactly one: browser sign-in uses the organization you pick on Gauge's consent screen, and an API key uses the organization that created it.

Connect Gauge

  1. Open Connectors and select Gauge.
  2. Read the access line above the main button. It says who the connection belongs to and which agents can use it. To pick a different identity, narrow the agents, or switch method, select Change.
  3. Choose a method:
    • Sign in with Gauge — complete browser sign-in and choose the organization on Gauge's consent screen. Paperclip registers its client automatically, so there is nothing to set up in a developer console.
    • Use an API key — in Gauge, open Settings → Integrations → API Keys, generate a key for Paperclip, and paste it into the Your Gauge key field.

Both methods give the same Read and write capability: read AI visibility, SEO and traffic data, and run content workflows.

Choose access

Browser sign-in asks Gauge only for the mcp scope. The organization comes from your choice on the consent screen, not from extra identity scopes.

An API key works differently, and it is worth knowing before you pick it:

  • Gauge API keys are not scoped. A key reaches every tool in the organization that created it, including publishing.
  • Requests made with a key are attributed to the organization, not to a person.
  • Paperclip cannot narrow an existing key. Generate a separate key just for Paperclip so you can delete it on its own.

Write tools start enabled, so the action list on the Permissions tab is where you decide what agents may do. Reading visibility and keyword reports is low risk. Anything that publishes content should be Ask first at the very least, so a person sees each publish before it reaches your site. See Set action permissions.

Try it

Using Gauge, summarise how often AI answer engines mentioned our brand over the last month and list the three most-cited pages. Do not create or publish any content.

Compare the numbers with the Gauge dashboard. A report you can check confirms the credential and the chosen organization without changing anything.

Note: Illustrative task, not a recorded test result.

Troubleshooting and limitations

Problem Likely cause Fix
Data is from the wrong organization A different organization was chosen at consent, or the key came from another organization Reconnect and choose the right organization, or use a key created in it
Content went live without review A publish action was set to Allowed Set publish actions to Ask first or Off on the Permissions tab
The API key is rejected The key was deleted in Gauge or copied incompletely Generate a new key under Settings → Integrations → API Keys and reconnect
Needs attention The grant or key was revoked Select Reconnect

Limitations: one Gauge organization per connection. API keys cannot be narrowed. The available actions are whatever Gauge's hosted server exposes.
