## What happened Today's `v2026.824.0` release **did** write its docs-changelog entry. The accordion is on `main` in `docs/reference/changelog.md`, every one of the 15 pages the release touched is listed, and `npm run docs:build` renders it correctly with exactly one open accordion. What didn't happen is publication. `docs.paperclip.ing` is still serving the build from `ebbab07` (#100, the pre-release hotfix): | Check | Expected | Live | |---|---|---| | `/reference/deploy/tailscale-https-broker/` | `200` | `404` | | `paperclipai channels` on `/reference/cli/installation/` | present | absent | | top changelog entry | `v2026.824.0` | `v2026.817.0` | The `main`-branch Pages preview is stale in the same way, so neither commit pushed to `main` today (#110, #111) deployed. `npm run docs:build` succeeds from a clean checkout of `main`, so it isn't a build break — the Cloudflare Pages deploy simply never ran. ## Why the skill didn't catch it Phase 7 builds into `.site`, which is gitignored — nothing reader-facing is ever committed — and Phase 8 hands off at the merge. There was no step that looked at the live site. The runbook had a soft "Confirm `docs.paperclip.ing` is rebuilt successfully" bullet with no method and no fallback, and it was skipped along with its siblings: the `docs/v2026.824.0` tag was never cut (last one is `docs/v2026.707.0`), and `nightly`'s `.sync-state.json` still reads `branch_mode: "release"`. ## What this changes - **`skills/sync-docs/SKILL.md`** — new **Phase 9 — Publish & verify live** (release mode only): do every post-merge follow-up (tag, realign, flip `branch_mode`), verify production against three independent live signals, republish via `wrangler pages deploy` if stale, and report the status codes as evidence. Verification is mandatory even when pushing isn't approved. Plus a failure-mode row, a diagnosis-order special case, and a pointer from Phase 6.5 (the entry isn't done until it's live). - **`maintenance/runbook.md`** — replaces the soft "confirm" bullet with the actual checks and the manual republish fallback. - **`README.md`** — it claimed there is no Wrangler publish step for this repo; notes the auto-deploy isn't guaranteed and documents the fallback. No changelog content changed — the `v2026.824.0` entry needed no correction. Merging this PR pushes to `main`, which should also re-trigger the deploy that stalled. ## Verification - `npm run docs:build` — clean - `npm run sync:check` — lint-links and verify-nav pass; the 5 `rest-route-missing` drift candidates are pre-existing medium-confidence `Verify:` entries from the release, untouched here 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]>

Source for the Paperclip documentation site — user guides, API and CLI reference, adapter docs, and deployment notes.
Read the docs: https://docs.paperclip.ing/
What's inside
- Guides — Getting started, core concepts, and day-to-day usage.
- API reference — Control-plane endpoints and payload schemas.
- CLI reference —
paperclipcommand surface. - Adapters — Plugin authoring and the integrations catalogue.
- Deploy — Self-hosting, upgrades, and operational guidance.
The site is a single static shell that renders the Markdown files in docs/ directly — no framework, no build step required to read the raw pages.
Build and deployment
Build a release bundle locally with:
npm run docs:build
Cloudflare Pages is connected directly to paperclipai/paperclip-docs through GitHub. There is no normal Wrangler publish step for this repo:
- Pushes to
maindeploy production athttps://docs.paperclip.ing/. - Pushes to other branches create Cloudflare Pages preview/canary deployments.
- Canary URLs are created by Cloudflare for each deployment, for example
https://92b9a99c.paperclip-docs-74t.pages.dev. Use the URL shown in the Cloudflare Pages deployment row or GitHub deployment/check for the pushed branch and commit.
That auto-deploy is not guaranteed — it has silently failed to fire on a push to main before. After anything reader-facing lands, check the live site rather than the merge, and republish by hand if it's stale:
npm run docs:build
npx wrangler pages deploy .site --project-name paperclip-docs --branch main
Contributing
Spotted a typo, a broken link, or something that could be clearer? There are two easy paths, both linked from the footer of every docs page:
- Suggest an edit — opens the underlying Markdown file in GitHub's web editor. Make the change and submit a PR without leaving the browser.
- Report an issue — opens a prefilled Docs feedback issue with the page URL already attached.
For larger changes, fork the repo and open a PR against main. Screenshots live under docs/user-guides/screenshots/{light,dark}/ and should be provided in both themes when replacing UI captures.
