f8cb4957dc fix(ui): default Tasks to All tasks with a neutral sort header (#19393)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Tasks page helps people inspect work across their company.
> - A new viewer currently starts in Mine and can miss other company
tasks.
> - The task table also shows an active sort header before the viewer
selects a sort.
> - This pull request starts new viewers in All tasks and keeps the
default sort header neutral.
> - People see company work in newest-update order and keep their saved
view choices.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The initial task view and the task table's default sort state.

**Subsystem affected**

ui/ — React board UI.

**Current behavior**

Tasks opens Mine when the viewer has no saved view. The table highlights
Last updated even when the viewer has not selected a column sort.

**Proposed behavior**

Tasks opens All tasks when no saved view exists. The table keeps
newest-updated tasks first without an active header or arrow. A column
selection or an explicit sort URL activates the selected header.

**Reason and benefit**

New viewers can inspect company work immediately. The header
distinguishes default ordering from an explicit sort choice.

**Breaking changes**

The first-visit view changes from Mine to All tasks. Saved views and
explicit view URLs keep priority. Existing Inbox and Needs attention
preferences retain their meaning. The change does not alter task access
or database contracts.

**Additional context**

Refs #19363. This change builds on the grouped task menu from that
merged pull request. It uses the existing menu and design tokens.

## What Changed

- Default the Coordinator and combined task surfaces to All tasks.
- Preserve saved personal views and migrate previous picker choices.
- Keep implicit Last updated descending order separate from active
header state.
- Test default ordering, explicit sorting, reset behavior, view
selection, and preference migration.
- Update the product and implementation docs.

## Verification

- Passed 118 focused tests across task routing, table sorting, views,
and collection preferences.
- Passed `pnpm check:token-gates`, `pnpm -r typecheck`, and `pnpm
build`.
- Full `pnpm test:run` is running. Its result will be updated here.
- Greptile passed the current head with 5/5 and no findings or open
review threads.
- Browser check: All tasks uses the grouped My work and Organization
menu. Last updated has no active highlight by default. Selecting the
header adds the sort URL and active direction. Removing the explicit
sort restores the neutral header.
- Manual check: Open Tasks with no saved task view. Confirm All tasks
opens. Select Mine, leave Tasks, and return. Confirm Mine remains
selected.

## Risks

- The new default shows more accessible company tasks on the first
visit. Saved view choices remain intact.
- Task tables share the sort-state change. Explicit sort links and
column clicks retain active styling. Default row order stays
newest-updated first.
- No schema, API, permission, or execution changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. This session does not expose the exact model
ID or context-window size. Used reasoning, code editing, terminal
commands, and browser verification.

4550253dc9 feat(ui): rename Needs you to Inbox and move Mine into Tasks (#19363)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Coordinator gives people navigation for conversations, tasks, and
decisions.
> - The decision entry is called Needs you, while a separate Inbox
remains under More.
> - Coordinator's personal task filter does not retain the full behavior
of the original Mine view.
> - This pull request names the decision entry Inbox and hosts the
original personal work views inside Tasks.
> - People keep their triage tools and saved choices without moving
between two task destinations.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Coordinator navigation and the personal Mine view in Tasks.

**Subsystem affected**

UI navigation, task view routing, task collection preferences, and
browser coverage.

**Current behavior**

Needs you opens the decision feed. More contains another Inbox
destination. The default Coordinator task filter matches task creators
and assignees. It does not use the full personal participation rules,
archive behavior, shortcuts, grouping, or saved columns of the original
Mine view. The organization task table also resets its column choices on
reload.

**Proposed behavior**

Inbox opens the same decision feed with the inbox icon. Tasks defaults
to Mine and remembers a person's selected view per company. Mine uses
the existing personal Inbox implementation and preferences. It retains
read/unread title weights, keyboard navigation, read/unread shortcuts,
archive and undo, mobile swipe-to-archive, grouping, and saved columns.
Old Inbox links open the matching task view. The organization task table
saves its columns and order per person and company.

**Reason and benefit**

People get Chat, Tasks, and Inbox as distinct navigation entries.
Personal work remains a view within Tasks without losing the existing
triage behavior.

**Breaking changes**

Coordinator no longer offers the previous Inbox destination under More.
Old Inbox URLs redirect into Tasks and retain query parameters and
fragments. The Needs you label becomes Inbox; its decision feed, count,
history, and resolution paths stay in place. Classic retains its
separate optional combined-list setting.

**Additional context**

Refs: #19360, the workspace-defaults PR now integrated from master.
Refs: #10620, related Inbox attention ordering. Duplicate searches found
no open PR for this navigation and Mine integration. Roadmap review
found no separate new execution feature in this scope.

## What Changed

- Rename Coordinator's desktop and mobile decision entry and page to
Inbox. Use the inbox icon. Remove the old Inbox item under More. Clarify
that the combined-list experiment applies only to Classic.
- Add one Coordinator task-view router. Host Mine, Unread, Recent,
Blocked, and Everything through the existing Inbox owner. Keep
organization views in the task table and board. Normalize legacy
filtered URLs before mounting a collection so clearing the last filter
preserves the current layout and local filters.
- Reuse the existing Mine API, participation, read state, archive cache,
undo, keyboard, mobile gesture, grouping, and preference paths. Existing
personal column choices carry over.
- Save organization task-table columns and order per person and company.
Keep controls usable if browser storage fails.
- Update navigation tests, routing and persistence regressions,
exact-run retry browser coverage for each workspace variant, product
documentation, and the affected Storybook notes. Keep existing story
IDs.

## Verification

- Preference, routing, navigation, task table, and inherited Inbox
regression tests pass in focused runs. After integrating master and
addressing the review finding, all 187 focused tests, UI typecheck, and
token gates pass.
- Full build and repository typecheck pass after integrating master. The
full UI suite previously passed: 894 files, 11,169 tests passed, and one
skipped. All 14 desktop/mobile triage and exact-run retry browser cases,
including a fresh production UI build, pass after integrating master.
- The full repository test suite was not run locally for this UI-only
change; full PR CI is running.
- Browser checks use a fresh isolated local instance and a deterministic
process agent for real run-attributed unread activity. They exercise
legacy URLs, title weights, saved grouping and columns, read/unread
shortcuts, archive/undo, and a real mobile touch gesture.
- Earlier browser fixtures were corrected: own activity is read, agent
comments need valid run attribution, and undo uses `u` after the archive
refresh completes. The Inbox content heading is scoped separately from
the layout heading.
- The final settings wording correction passes all 63 settings tests.
- The [next CI browser
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42137377960/job/127629100535)
caught an old URL assertion for denied run retries. The test now pins
each workspace variant and covers Coordinator Tasks explicitly. The old
expectation fails deterministically for Coordinator; all 12 retry cases
pass with the corrected destination, preserving exact run identity and
truthful queued, deferred, and denied feedback.
- Token gates, map checks, and Storybook catalog checks pass. All 30
map/catalog script tests pass. Storybook play tests were not run.
- Greptile reviewed [the final
commit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/commit/5f2f3789b83af259f694f379afb769465688fb72)
at **5/5** with no new actionable findings. Its sort-only link finding
is fixed and resolved: three cases fail before the fix and pass after
it. `sortField` and `sortDir` keep organization links on the
organization table. [Current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42139668774)
is running.
- [CI exposed a routing
race](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42135293421/job/127621981587)
when removing the last label from a legacy Everything link. Four
deterministic regressions failed before the fix and now pass:
collections only mount after URL normalization. The existing end-to-end
component cases confirm local filters, board layout, fragments, and
history survive the change.
- The [initial server shard 4
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42131163087/job/127608751620)
failed an unchanged monitor-drain idleness assertion: two active
operations remained instead of zero. The complete scheduling suite
passes locally (54 tests). One isolated CI retry passed, including its
dependent verification gate. The original timing failure's root cause is
not established.

## Risks

- Mine includes the existing tasks, approvals, failed runs, and join
requests, preserving the original personal participation and attention
rules.
- Shared URLs with organization filters or table sort parameters still
open the organization task collection. Task back-links retain their
original fragments.
- Saved preferences are browser-local. Mine keeps its existing storage
keys; the organization table and selected Coordinator view use
person/company scopes.
- No database or server API contract changes are included. Existing
company access, personal participation, and decision permissions retain
their owners.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser automation. The exact serving revision and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

f2593b7905 feat: make Coordinator and Agent Chat standard and speed up navigation (#19360)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People enter that work through the workspace, agent conversations,
and tasks.
> - Coordinator and Agent Chat still require experimental enrollment.
> - Task link prefetches do not warm the compact queries used by the
default task view. Chat also waits for a request when its navigation
list already holds the conversation.
> - This pull request makes Coordinator and Agent Chat standard and
reuses the reads needed for navigation.
> - People can choose Classic workspace in Experimental settings. Cached
work can appear while fresh data loads.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Workspace selection, Agent Chat availability, and navigation between
Chat, Tasks, and task details.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: UI, workspace preferences, instance settings, and the
database migration.

**Current behavior**

People must enable Coordinator and Agent Chat in Experimental settings.
Opening a task can repeat requests because prefetch warms the full
detail and comment queries, while the default view reads compact task
data and a recent comment window. Opening Chat waits for a detail
request even when the current person's conversation list contains it.

**Proposed behavior**

Coordinator is the standard workspace for everyone. Experimental
settings offer Classic workspace, off by default. Old Coordinator
experiment values do not select Classic. Agent Chat is available to
everyone, including instances with an old saved or managed off value.
Task link intent warms the queries used by the mounted view. Chat can
use the current person's company-scoped conversation list during
refresh.

**Reason and benefit**

People can use the standard workspace without setup. Repeat navigation
can show cached content while the server refreshes it.

**Breaking changes**

Existing Coordinator experiment and Agent Chat off values no longer
disable these surfaces. Classic requires an explicit new opt-in. The
workspace API keeps its existing response shape and audit checks. The
migration retains legacy values and adds a separate Classic preference.
Execution permissions, company access, and chat privacy checks still
apply.

**Additional context**

Roadmap check: this graduates existing surfaces and improves their
navigation. It does not add a new agent execution capability. Duplicate
searches found no open Coordinator workspace PR. Related server cache
work, Refs: #17828, addresses compact issue-list invalidation; this PR
addresses client navigation queries.

## What Changed

- Add a default-off Classic workspace preference. Derive the existing
workspace API response from that choice. Keep personal persistence,
account isolation, and audited writes in the workspace preference
service.
- Replace the Coordinator experiment control with Classic workspace. Use
Coordinator while preferences load. Update the existing settings
examples and navigation recipe.
- Retire the Agent Chat experiment control. Ignore old stored and
managed off values. Retain the compatibility key and the existing
execution and access checks.
- Reuse account- and company-scoped chat list data with its original
freshness timestamp.
- Share compact task and recent-comment query options between prefetch
and the task view. Keep full-history prefetch for Classic tasks and
expanded history.
- Add upgrade, replay, cache, account isolation, and browser switching
regressions. Update product, database, development, and roadmap
documentation.

## Verification

- Targeted preference, settings, migration, cache, and UI regression
tests passed during implementation. The cache tests hold refresh
requests pending and check that content still renders. They also check
account isolation and stale refresh behavior.
- A real browser test verified fresh Coordinator defaults, Classic
opt-in persistence, and return to Coordinator. It used an isolated
source checkout with fresh data on macOS.
- Token, migration numbering and safety, map, and Storybook catalog
checks pass after the rebase.
- Repository typecheck and build pass. Typecheck and token gates also
pass after review repairs. The broad local run passed all six chat
integration shards (1,931 tests). It then found the host-CLI-dependent
recovery fixture described below. Its remaining duplicate work was
stopped after the full current-head CI matrix passed; this is not a
claim that the broad local command completed green.
- Review repairs passed 419 UI/migration fixture tests, 19 Coordinator
navigation tests, and all 214 tests in the five affected server suites.
The 24 Chat/workspace browser tests pass, including standard Coordinator
switching and explicit Classic persistence.
- The broader browser repair run passed 85 tests. It retained two failed
assertions and skipped five later serial cases. The affected files then
passed all 11 tests after the fixes: reopen the desktop panel after
reload and open More for Audit and Connectors. This includes the five
serial cases that had not run.
- The broad local suite exposed a recovery fixture that executed the
host Codex CLI during a simulated remote probe. On a host with Codex
0.154.0, model fallback broke its fixed-model assertion. The fake
sandbox now reports Codex 0.160.0. All 20 selected recovery/provider
compatibility cases pass after the repair.
- A CLI company import/export suite timed out during server startup in
the second CI run. The port fallback is intentional in that fixture. No
root cause was established. That suite passes on the final commit in CI.
This records recovery, not a claimed product fix for the earlier
timeout.
- The first CI run exposed remaining assumptions about the retired flags
and Classic UI. The repair commit updates those fixtures and navigation
steps. It also restores the missing enabled Cases destination in
Coordinator. Earlier local recovery attempts used the wrong fixture
notification and advanced fake time during live execution; the corrected
tests use the subscribed recovery queue and wall time during execution.
- Greptile reviewed commit `98972b030d4505d838427a2fca6b196b8cad6d47` at
**5/5** with no new comments. The original finding is resolved.
- Current-head CI is green: **56 successful checks**, with three checks
skipped by workflow filters. This includes typecheck, build, the
complete Vitest matrix, all eight browser shards, Runner verification,
release checks, and security checks. [Final CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42132651414).
- Typecheck caught missing `pid` and `startedAt` fields in the simulated
command result. The fixture now returns the complete process contract,
and the server test-layer typecheck passes.
- Storybook catalog alignment was checked. Storybook play tests were not
run. Hosted latency and cold bundle loading were not measured.

## Risks

- The new default changes the workspace for people who previously left
the Coordinator experiment off. They can opt into Classic in
Experimental settings.
- The additive migration must run before the new server code. It is safe
to replay and preserves explicit Classic choices.
- Cached content can be stale during background refresh. Existing query
invalidation and source timestamps still control freshness.
- These changes reduce avoidable loading waits. They do not establish a
measured improvement in hosted request latency or initial bundle
download time.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser automation. The exact serving revision and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

51d1d4ce07 fix(ui): refine coordinator navigation and task list defaults (#18831)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Coordinator workspace puts chat, tasks, and human decisions in
one navigation.
> - Its task menu exposed only two views and always opened All tasks.
> - Its sidebar hid search under More and showed an empty Recents
section.
> - This pull request restores the four task views and saves each user's
last selection.
> - It also groups the main navigation and makes the task list use the
page background.
> - Users can return to their preferred task view and find search from
the sidebar.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The Coordinator sidebar and task collection.

**Subsystem affected**

ui/ — React and Vite board UI.

**Current behavior**

Coordinator opens All tasks and offers only All tasks and Needs
attention. Search lives under More. Empty Recents content takes sidebar
space. The task list inherits a darker root background.

**Proposed behavior**

Tasks starts in Inbox for new users. The menu contains Inbox, Unread,
Needs attention, and All tasks. The selected view persists per user in
browser storage. The sidebar groups Chat, Tasks, and Needs you between
New task and More. Search sits beside the organization menu. Recents
appears only when entries exist. The list surface and edge fades match
the local page background.

**Reason and benefit**

The page starts with personal work and restores the user's last choice.
Navigation gives search a fixed location and removes empty content.

**Breaking changes**

Unread task-view links now stay on Coordinator Tasks. Retired
merged-Inbox views keep their existing Inbox routes. Organization-filter
links without an explicit view still open All tasks. Needs attention
keeps the existing pending-decision feed. The initial Inbox rule applies
to Coordinator. Task lists now default to newest updates, including
task-detail subtask lists. Saved and URL sort choices stay intact.

**Additional context**

Related merged work: Refs #18703, Refs #17983, Refs #18323, Refs #18492.
The GitHub search found no duplicate open PR for these changes. This is
focused UI polish within the existing workspace and does not add a
roadmap feature.

## What Changed

- Default task lists to Last updated descending and show that active
header. Keep descendants with their parents while nesting is on; use a
flat newest-first order when nesting is off. Task-detail subtask lists
use this default and retain checklist controls. Saved and URL sort
choices keep precedence.

- Add space after New task and before More. Add header search with the
existing command palette action.
- Use “Needs you” in desktop navigation, mobile navigation, and the
decision page.
- Hide Recents when no entries exist.
- Restore the shared four-view task menu. Default Coordinator to Inbox
and save the last view per user.
- Read unread tasks through the server's viewer read filter. Preserve
task hierarchy and existing filtered links.
- Use the resolved local-board identity for Inbox. Keep Inbox and Unread
selected when a status filter changes. Load accessible read ancestors as
context for unread subtasks.
- Resolve task-list and edge-fade surfaces against the Coordinator
background token.
- Update view, routing, navigation tests, and DESIGN.md.

## Verification

- Passed for the sorting update: 344 tests across the task-list, classic
and streamlined nesting, Coordinator task page, and task-detail suites.
- Passed for the sorting update: 30 Storybook catalog and map checks,
token gates, UI typecheck, and UI production build.
- Browser check: a task-list URL without sort parameters shows Last
updated descending as the active sort.

- Passed: `pnpm -r typecheck` after rebase onto master.
- Passed after review fixes: 91 tests across seven affected task-view,
routing, identity, navigation, and decision-page suites.
- Passed after review fixes: UI typecheck and UI production build.
- Passed: `pnpm check:token-gates` and `git diff --check`.
- Browser checks: Inbox opens on the first task visit. The menu shows
all four views. Unread survives leaving Tasks and returning, and
survives reload. Header search opens the command palette. Empty Recents
is absent.
- Browser style check: the page, task-list section, row groups, and
edge-fade token resolve to the same local background.
- Passed: `pnpm build` after rebase onto master.
- Local full-suite run: all six chat integration shards passed (1,834
tests). Stopped the remaining local run after all latest-head CI test
gates passed. The local full suite did not finish.
- Greptile: 5/5 on current commit `5fc50d616c`, with all three earlier
review findings fixed and all threads resolved. The sorting update added
no new review findings.
- Initial CI failed in [browser shard
1/8](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41702707260/job/126156263776).
The cross-organization UUID task-link test reached its 5-second heading
assertion timeout. The failure screenshot and page snapshot show the
correct task heading. The precise cause of the timeout remains unknown.
- Passed during CI diagnosis: six focused Chrome browser runs, then all
35 tests from the same shard on the unchanged branch. Task links
resolved to the target organization and attachment uploads completed.
- Passed on the single unchanged-head CI retry: [all 35 tests in browser
shard
1/8](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41702707260/job/126184223560),
including the original UUID task-link case. This establishes recovery;
it does not establish the original timeout cause.
- Passed: [all CI gates for commit
`5fc50d616c`](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41702707260).
The final aggregate gate passed. No check is pending or failing. Three
checks are skipped as expected, and the optional Superagent scan is
neutral.
- Review: confirm the sidebar order, four task views, saved view after
navigation, and matching list background.

## Risks

- Task-list defaults change from Task ID order to newest updates.
Task-detail subtask lists use the same default instead of workflow
order. Existing saved and explicit sort choices remain available.

- Low risk. New Coordinator users start in Inbox instead of All tasks.
- The view preference stays in this browser and does not sync across
devices.
- The task collection keeps its existing paging behavior.
- Unread URLs now select the native Coordinator task view.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The session did not expose a more specific
runtime model ID or context-window size. Used code editing, terminal
tools, and browser verification.

scotttongandClaude Opus 5.5 d7bcf3912f fix(ui): single underline on markdown document card labels (#18215)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Comments and task bodies render markdown, and a saved plan or
document shows as a compact document card
> - The document card is a link inside the markdown body, so it gets the
general markdown link underline
> - The card label also has its own underline, so the label shows two
lines
> - This pull request removes the inherited underline from document
cards only
> - The benefit is that the card label shows one clean underline

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. This is a small visual bug.

**What happened?**

A document card (for example the "plan" card) in a comment shows a
double underline under its label.

**Expected behavior**

The card label shows a single underline.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open a task that has a plan document.
2. Look at a comment or body that links the plan as a document card.
3. See two underlines under the card label.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at 649354d8c.

**Deployment mode**

Local development (`pnpm dev`). The bug is in shared UI CSS, so it
affects all modes.

Related PRs: I searched for "document card underline" and found no
duplicate PRs.

## What Changed

- `ui/src/index.css`: add `.paperclip-markdown
a[data-sidebar-document-link] { text-decoration: none; }` so the card
does not inherit the markdown link underline. The label span keeps its
own underline.
- `ui/src/components/MarkdownDocumentCardStyles.test.ts`: add a
stylesheet regression test. It uses the same pattern as
`MarkdownAccentStyles.test.ts`.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/MarkdownDocumentCardStyles.test.ts
src/components/MarkdownExternalLink.test.tsx` passes (11 tests).
- `node scripts/check-token-gates.mjs` reports all gates clean.
- Manual: open a comment with a document card. The label shows one
underline. Other markdown links keep their underline.
- Snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated. See the
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md` entry "Per-change snapshot verification
demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)".

## Risks

- Low risk. The selector targets only anchors with
`data-sidebar-document-link` inside `.paperclip-markdown`. Other links
do not change.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), used through Claude
Code with tool use (shell, file edit). Standard context window. No
extended thinking mode.

scotttongandClaude Opus 5.5 f03522ea8f fix(ui): drop fixed min-height from sidebar account popover (#18117)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/222/changes/paperclip/222
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The board UI has an account button at the bottom of the sidebar. It
opens a popover with Settings, Invite, Documentation, and the theme
switch.
> - The popover has a fixed minimum height of 304px. Its content is only
257px tall.
> - Because of this, the popover shows about 50px of empty space below
the last item. It looks broken.
> - This pull request removes the minimum height so the popover fits its
content. It also makes the options padding equal on all sides.
> - The benefit is a tidy menu that ends right after the last item, with
even padding.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. This is a bug description.

**What happened?**
The sidebar account popover shows a block of empty space (about 50px)
below "Switch to light mode", the last item.

**Expected behavior**
The popover ends right after the last item. The bottom padding is the
same as the top and side padding.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open the board UI.
2. Click the account button at the bottom-left of the sidebar.
3. Look at the space below the last menu item.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at 71f0c0c99.

**Additional context**
The cause is `min-h-(--profile-popover-min-height)` (304px) on the
popover content, plus `flex-1` on the options list, which stretches the
list into the extra space.

## What Changed

- `ui/src/components/SidebarAccountMenu.tsx`: remove
`min-h-(--profile-popover-min-height)` from the popover content, remove
`flex-1` from the options list, and change the options padding from
`px-2.5 pb-2.5 pt-2` to `p-2.5`.
- `ui/src/index.css`: remove the unused `--profile-popover-min-height`
token.
- `ui/src/components/SidebarAccountMenu.test.tsx`: the test now fails if
any `min-h-` class comes back on the popover.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates`: all gates clean.
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/SidebarAccountMenu.test.tsx`:
36/36 pass.
- Manual: open the account popover in dark and light mode. The gap below
the last item is now 11px (10px padding plus the 1px border). Before the
fix it was 60px. The header, items, and trigger do not change. The items
move down 2px because the top padding is now 10px.
- Snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated. Per-change snapshot
verification is dormant per the `doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md` entry
"Per-change snapshot verification demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)".

## Risks

- Low risk. The change is CSS only, in one component. The popover is now
shorter, so it opens closer to the trigger. If a future item list is
long, the popover grows with its content as before.

## Model Used

- Claude (Anthropic), model ID `claude-opus-5-5` (Opus 5.5), via Claude
Code with tool use and code execution. Standard context window, adaptive
reasoning.

scotttongandPaperclip 71f0c0c99e feat: add opt-in Coordinator workspace for chat, tasks, and decisions (#17983)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/147/changes/paperclip/147
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People coordinate work through conversations, tasks, and requests
for input.
> - These surfaces must share task state and preserve the context of
each decision.
> - The existing workspace makes people switch surfaces to follow that
context.
> - This pull request adds an optional Coordinator workspace with linked
conversations, tasks, documents, and decisions.
> - Each person can enable it in Settings > Experimental and return to
the classic workspace.
> - The benefit is a coherent path from a request to an assigned task
and reviewed work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**
UI, server, shared contracts, and database.

**Problem or motivation**
People need a consistent way to start tasks from agent conversations,
answer questions, review work, and return to the source context.
Decisions and task state must agree across these surfaces.

**Proposed solution**
Add a personal, default-off workspace experiment. Keep one conversation
per agent. Add task proposals, compact task and decision cards,
contextual document panels, and a Needs You queue with search, filters,
sorting, grouping, and history.

**Alternatives considered**
Replacing the classic workspace for everyone would remove the opt-out
path. Keeping separate decision state in each surface would create
conflicting answers. This change uses the existing canonical task and
interaction records instead.

**Roadmap alignment**
This supports the existing agent chat, task management, and human review
capabilities. It is an experimental presentation choice. The user
requested this isolated implementation after design review. No Discord
discussion is claimed.

## What Changed

- Add per-person workspace preferences, a default-off setting, and an
additive migration.
- Add Coordinator navigation, pinned destinations, task lists, agent
switching, and contextual panels.
- Link task suggestions and creation to the source conversation. Default
new task ownership to the current agent unless the user specifies
another owner.
- Share pending questions, decision receipts, exact review targets, and
history across tasks, chat, and Needs You.
- Preserve task access, assignment authorization, revision binding, and
required output review gates.
- Add compact document links, relative timestamps, composer controls,
and reduced-motion support for task and decision transitions.
- Add component stories, regression coverage, and capability-map
documentation.

## Verification

- Final head: `4b839aae1e314bd7e8635a766f1d205ff1c03ba6`, based on
master `8bc051245f77a47bee0f8ba45896b8bfa5922e0a`. Verified October 29,
2026 at 00:10 UTC: **MERGEABLE, 56 checks passed, four conditional
skips, no pending or failed checks**. [Current CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40790639688)
passed without a rerun on this head.
- Fresh Greptile **5/5**, zero new comments and zero open review
threads; Superagent passed with no suspicious changes.
[Checks](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/17983/checks).
- Local workspace typecheck/build passed after the latest rebase. The
final account-read patch passed UI typecheck/build and all 12 related
preference/settings tests, including a delayed real-client request
across account changes. Earlier scoped checks cover review
deduplication/replay, decision deep links, cross-surface state, access
boundaries, and migration replay.
- Local database/browser rechecks after the latest rebase were limited
by exhausted macOS shared-memory IDs: `initdb` failed before database
creation. The local run passed 31 UI/snapshot tests and skipped 24
database tests; those skips and the blocked local browser start are not
claimed as passes. The independent Linux CI database and browser checks
passed. No running dev database or host setting was changed.
- Upstream migration 0403 is preserved. Preferences and durable review
retry aliases are generated as replay-safe migrations
`0404_tense_silver_sable.sql` and `0405_harsh_avengers.sql`; five newest
snapshots are retained. Every detected conflict was rebased and pushed
before waiting for CI/review, as requested.
- The PR is unmerged. The active master ruleset still requires
code-owner approval for the changed Paperclip skill; no approval or rule
change was performed.

<details>
<summary>Earlier verification failures, integration history, and
evidence</summary>

These entries preserve prior checkpoints and failures; the current
acceptance result is above.

- Focused UI and server checks from the isolated build are recorded in
the implementation plan.
- Browser checks covered the opt-in shell, navigation, task/document
links, and decision card states. No new live provider trial is claimed
for this handoff.
- Current acceptance head: `4b839aae1e314bd7e8635a766f1d205ff1c03ba6`,
rebased onto master `8bc051245` immediately after its GitHub
review-repair migration took 0403. Preferences are generated as
idempotent `0404_tense_silver_sable.sql`, preserving upstream
SQL/journal/snapshot history and five newest snapshots. GitHub reports
MERGEABLE after the immediate lease-protected push. Scott's updated
instruction is to rebase and push every conflict resolution first,
without waiting for CI or Greptile; verification follows the push.
- The final reviewed feature tree was consolidated for repeatable
single-commit rebases. The complete previous commit history remains
reachable through local recovery ref
`codex/coordinator-recovery-before-rebase-20261028` (resolved snapshot
`0e1bbdf4e`). The actual rebase completed, and its tree hash exactly
matches that resolved snapshot. The force-with-lease required the known
remote head `0e6ef7c44`, protecting against concurrent branch changes.
No PR merge or permission/runner setting change occurred. Fresh
CI/review are in progress for the current head.
- `2001132fa` received Greptile 5/5 with one nonblocking account-switch
read finding. Current head detaches path-coalesced preference GETs and
disables HTTP caching, retaining React Query's account-scoped sharing. A
delayed real-client GET regression proves account B can load its saved
choice before account A responds, and A's late response only updates A's
cache. Preference/settings tests 12/12 and UI typecheck passed; its
review thread is resolved. Fresh current-head CI/reviews are pending.
The prior CI chat shard 3 ended with “The operation was canceled” and no
assertion failure ([job
123171595631](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40789688333/job/123171595631),
`/tmp/pr17983-2001132-chat3.log`); no code/timeout change is attributed
to that cancellation.
- `843e823b4` reached fresh Greptile 5/5 with zero comments/open threads
and Superagent pass. All browser tests including the repaired YAML shard
passed, and 54 checks passed. General server shard 9 ended with “The
operation was canceled” and no failed assertion; its test step was
marked cancelled (job
[123164350893](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40787501761/job/123164350893),
log `/tmp/pr17983-843e-server9.log`). A single unchanged-head rerun was
started after the workflow completed, but master moved while it ran. A
local nested-clone check timed out in its 30-second database-startup
hook and then failed cleanup before the 20 database cases ran; this is
retained as a local verification limit
(`/tmp/pr17983-843e-nested-clone-check.log`), not claimed as a pass or
proof of the CI cancellation cause.
- Following Scott's instruction, the new conflict was rebased and pushed
immediately without waiting for that rerun. Upstream's
`0403_natural_cerise.sql` is preserved; regenerated preferences and
retry-alias migrations are `0404_tense_silver_sable.sql` and
`0405_harsh_avengers.sql`, replay-safe with five newest snapshots
retained. The YAML helper conflict combines upstream's click and header
behavior with the editor-selection guard and injected regression.
Recovery ref `codex/coordinator-recovery-843e823b4` preserves pre-rebase
work. Current head is MERGEABLE. Full workspace typecheck/build passed;
UI and snapshot checks passed 31 tests, but 24 database tests were
skipped by the local support probe, and the local browser server could
not initialize PostgreSQL. A direct disposable `initdb` diagnostic
established the host limitation: `could not create shared memory
segment: No space left on device` (`shmget`, shared-memory IDs
exhausted, not disk space). No dev database or host setting was changed.
Diagnostics: `/tmp/pr17983-2001132-initdb-probe.log`,
`/tmp/pr17983-2001132-db-probe.log`; checks:
`/tmp/pr17983-2001132-tests.log`, `/tmp/pr17983-2001132-browser.log`,
`/tmp/pr17983-2001132-types.log`, `/tmp/pr17983-2001132-build.log`.
These local skipped/blocked checks are not claimed as passes; fresh CI
on independent runners is in progress.
- `d18f683cd` reached fresh Greptile 5/5 with zero comments/open threads
and Superagent pass, but [E2E shard
7](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40785966243/job/123159719925)
failed parsing an Advanced YAML clipboard read beginning with “Skip to
Main Content.” The log is retained at `/tmp/pr17983-d18f-e2e7.log`.
Current head hardens the test helper to verify editor focus and
selection, clear stale clipboard content, and require the YAML header at
the start of a fresh copy before parsing. Saved-state assertions and
timeouts are unchanged. All six Advanced YAML browser journeys passed on
a disposable local instance (41.0s); the exact lost-response journey
also passed with a one-time injected surrounding-page copy, verifying
rejection/reacquisition (17.6s). The precise browser focus/clipboard
timing in CI remains unproven; the observed invalid-read path is now
guarded and deterministically exercised. Logs:
`/tmp/pr17983-yaml-clipboard-scope-browser.log`,
`/tmp/pr17983-yaml-clipboard-injected-browser.log`. Fresh current-head
CI and reviews are pending.
- `19e6dcb0b` passed Superagent and Greptile 5/5, with one nonblocking
deep-link finding. Current head preserves attention links using
`?decisionId=`: the requested pending decision is rendered even beyond
the first 40 cards, focused and scrolled into view, then only that
parameter is consumed so later refreshes do not refocus. Other URL
parameters remain. Needs You tests 10/10 and UI typecheck passed; its
review thread is resolved. The preceding post-rebase regression run
passed 45/45 tests. Fresh current-head CI/reviews are pending.
- `6d772b7cc` reached Greptile 5/5 with zero comments/open threads and
Superagent pass. While 32 checks had passed, master moved and caused a
documentation conflict in `maps/feature-map/onboarding.md`. Rebased
immediately, preserving both onboarding paragraphs. The complete
four-commit branch was pushed as `19e6dcb0b` before waiting on
CI/review, per Scott's instruction. A transient Git index lock
interrupted the first continue; the command sequence briefly pushed
intermediate `34e298c07`, then the completed rebase was immediately
pushed. All feature and security/retry fixes are present; local recovery
ref `codex/coordinator-recovery-6d772b7cc` preserves the pre-rebase
history. The only tree differences from that ref are upstream's two
smoke-test files and the combined documentation paragraph. GitHub
reports MERGEABLE. Fresh current-head verification is in progress;
prior-head review results are not current acceptance.
- `21efa3120` passed Superagent but Greptile scored 4/5 for a valid
retry-key persistence bug: an acknowledged duplicate key could reopen a
resolved review. Current head adds an additive, replay-safe
`0404_light_swarm.sql` migration for indexed, task-scoped aliases from
acknowledged retry keys to the canonical interaction. Alias registration
and retry lookup occur under the existing task lock; payload/actor
mismatch still conflicts, and each canonical review permits at most 100
aliases. Original and acknowledged keys replay the terminal result
rather than creating a new gate. Five newest migration snapshots are
retained. Service/routes tests 165/165 passed; final quality review plus
migration replay/snapshot checks 25/25 passed; server typecheck passed.
The P1 thread is resolved in code; fresh current-head reviews and CI are
pending.
- `69c2c7543` passed 55 checks and Greptile 5/5 with no open Greptile
findings, but Superagent check
[123140675812](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/17983/checks?check_run_id=123140675812)
correctly flagged unbounded pending quality-card creation. Current head
fixes that under the existing task-row lock: equivalent requests with
fresh idempotency keys reuse the pending card; conflicting requests for
an unresolved deliverable return the existing interaction ID; pending
cards are capped at ten per task across all reviewers. Distinct outputs
remain independent, and already-answered items in a partially pending
batch can receive a fresh review. Added real-database concurrency,
cross-card duplicate, partial-answer, and hard-cap regressions. Quality
review 22/22 tests and final server typecheck passed; earlier
service/routes 163/163 tests passed before the final partial-answer
refinement. One added assertion initially expected a service HTTP error,
but duplicate keys are rejected earlier by the existing shared schema;
the assertion now verifies that validation. Fresh current-head
CI/reviews are pending; the action-required security result is not
treated as passed.
- `c9c575e5f` completed all 56 checks successfully with four conditional
skips, Greptile 5/5, and Superagent pass. Its two P2 review findings are
fixed in the current head: independently bound quality approvals now
each remain visible in attention; changing/clearing URL-backed
assignee/status filters updates the URL and survives task navigation.
Both review threads are resolved. Regression evidence: attention service
34/34 tests passed, CoordinatorTasks 20/20 passed, UI and server
typechecks and the full workspace build passed on `69c2c7543`. The first
new UI test run caught an assertion racing React Router's transition;
waiting for the navigation before asserting passes without weakening the
navigation/remount checks. These older-head green checks are not claimed
for the new fix commit.
- Preceding `0e6ef7c44` completed all 56 checks successfully with four
conditional skips, fresh Greptile 5/5 and no open findings, and passed
Superagent. A fifth migration-metadata collision arrived before the
final Runner job finished. Those green results are preserved as
prior-head evidence, not current acceptance.
- Previous fully verified migration head:
`0e6ef7c44696a377f35e69521b93587576374bd0`, integrating master
`f8226b051` after the fourth migration-number collision. Master added
terminal GitHub-response migration 0401 while the final native check
ran; upstream 0401 SQL/journal/snapshot is preserved unchanged, and
preferences are generated as idempotent `0402_yielding_blink.sql` on
top. Exactly the five newest snapshots remain. GitHub reports MERGEABLE
after the push. All 1,155 relevant
migration/review/interaction/native-execution/remote-assets tests,
workspace typecheck/build, migration guards and whitespace checks pass.
Fresh exact-head CI/Greptile/Superagent are pending.
- Immediately preceding head `36c67cf03` completed all 56 checks
successfully with four conditional skips, fresh Greptile 5/5 and no open
findings, plus passed Superagent security. No retry was needed for that
head's CI. Master advanced and introduced only a migration-metadata
conflict while its final native check ran, so that green result does not
establish acceptance of the current integration. Four consecutive
collisions (0398, 0399, 0400, 0401) during verification are retained as
concrete integration churn; a brief pause of competing migration merges
was requested, without assuming it happened or changing any repo
setting. The PR has not been merged.
- Prior fully verified head: `36c67cf03`, on the clean `30059c0ed`
integration of master `efd65c112`. The last Greptile P2 is fixed: Needs
attention retains the participant-agent scope through authoritative
server membership queries for each pending task, including historical
participation when another agent currently owns the task. It does not
approximate participation with current assignment or enumerate every
company task. The actual view-switch regression and all 31 focused
task/routing/collection tests, UI typecheck/build, token gates and
whitespace checks pass. Greptile completed a fresh 5/5 review on this
exact head (review 19) with zero new comments and no open review
threads. CI and Superagent remain in progress; no current-head CI
failure has been reported.
- Head `30059c0ed` received Greptile 5/5 with that one nonblocking
participant finding, now fixed. Superagent passed that head.
Current-base integration restored the ephemeral RunsOn fleet after a
superseded workflow retained queued aggregate jobs: normal cancellation
was insufficient; the single force-cancel request was interrupted but
readback confirmed that obsolete run cancelled and current CI began on
the trusted fleet. No cancellation retry or runner/security/workflow
changes were made. Its partial CI was superseded by the necessary
participant fix and is not current acceptance.
- Previous compatibility/base-sync head:
`30059c0ededc0eab4e04e8299a884f36db8b292f`, integrating master
`efd65c112` and the Inbox/workspace compatibility fixes. GitHub reports
MERGEABLE after the push. Coordinator keeps Inbox standalone under More
without rewriting the instance's Combined Inbox preference; opting out
restores that preference. Saved merged-Inbox URLs resolve to their
original owner, task status presets remain usable, and canonical
repeated `workspace` parameters retain scoped, deduplicated pagination
(including Needs attention). All 192 broader
routing/Inbox/sidebar/privacy/review tests and the final 16 task-page
tests pass, as do workspace typecheck/build, token gates and whitespace
checks. The two review threads are resolved. Fresh exact-head CI,
Greptile and Superagent results are pending.
- The preceding `d5b9be5bd` remained mergeable but its CI routing gate
intentionally fell back to GitHub-hosted runners: “stacked base merge
commit does not contain the current base branch.” All 45 downstream jobs
stayed queued. Current master was merged cleanly to refresh the pinned
base; no runner/security settings or workflow logic were changed.
Greptile scored that preceding head 4/5 with the two compatibility
findings fixed here. Its automatic Superagent scan was inconclusive at
checkout; the documented retry was still pending when superseded. Those
results do not establish acceptance of this current head.
- Previous approval/migration head:
`d5b9be5bd3b8d6b0437e42bf48138377f34fa67d`, integrating master
`ba5bba86d` and the stale-output approval correction. GitHub reports
MERGEABLE after the push. The fresh P1 finding is fixed: every submitted
item now validates and locks its bound output inside the resolution
transaction, whether or not it carries a required-quality-review
binding. Real database regressions verify that an advanced document
revision or deleted attachment refuses the entire batch without
recording approvals, and current ordinary output reviews still resolve.
All 272 combined migration/review/interaction tests pass; workspace
typecheck/build passed. Fresh exact-head Greptile and CI are pending.
The automatic Superagent scan ended inconclusive at checkout; one
documented on-demand retry is pending. These are explicit verification
limits, not passed security results. The P1 thread is resolved.
- Master consumed the next migration slot three times during this
verification pass: confirmation recovery took 0398, continuation
recovery took 0399, and GitHub acknowledgement recovery took 0400. Each
upstream SQL/journal/snapshot is preserved unchanged. Preferences are
now generated as idempotent `0401_white_lenny_balinger.sql` from
upstream 0400; exactly five snapshots remain, and replay coverage
locates this migration by table content. This is recorded concurrent
integration churn, not a claim that older green results apply to the
latest base.
- Head `ed3b68da9` fixed the two history/URL findings with 26 focused
regression tests, server/UI typechecks, workspace build and token gates
passing. Greptile then scored that head 4/5 with the stale-output P1
corrected in the current head. Its partial CI is superseded, not counted
as current acceptance.
- Previous filter-fix head: `ed3b68da9`, based on the `8458d39d9` merge
of master `063cfd438`. The two fresh Greptile findings are fixed:
history outcome filters now match recorded per-item verdicts in SQL
before pagination (mixed reviews remain in both applicable outcomes),
and same-page URL assignee changes/back/forward navigation update that
filter without clearing independent filters. All 26 focused
database/navigation/collection tests, server/UI typechecks, workspace
build, token gates and whitespace checks pass. The two review threads
are resolved. Fresh exact-head CI, Greptile and Superagent results are
pending.
- The `8458d39d9` migration integration also passed all 328 targeted
migration/interaction/confirmation tests, workspace typecheck/build and
Superagent security scan. Greptile scored that head 4/5 with the two
functional gaps fixed in the current head; those prior-head checks are
not current acceptance.
- Migration integration head:
`8458d39d9721f4cb312c2390070a0609f8cddd1a`, integrating master
`063cfd43813cabf18417605fb9eefb9aacf95c8d`. GitHub reports MERGEABLE
after the push. Master advanced twice during this conflict-resolution
pass: first its confirmation-recovery migration took 0398, then its
continuation-recovery migration took 0399. Both upstream migrations and
journal entries remain unchanged; Coordinator preferences are now
generated as idempotent `0400_sad_guardian.sql` from upstream's latest
snapshot. Exactly the five newest snapshots remain. The replay
regression now locates the table migration by content instead of
hardcoding a renumbered filename.
- All 328 targeted question/review/confirmation/migration tests passed
again after the second merge. Workspace typecheck/build and fresh
exact-head CI/reviews are in progress. The preceding `0c46f46d6` passed
workspace typecheck/build and Superagent security scan, but was
superseded because master consumed migration 0399 while those checks
ran. That prior-head result is not acceptance of the current head. No
production settings or runner/security permissions were changed, and the
PR has not been merged.
- Previous integration head: `0c46f46d6f2b23417ab872ce3cb6ff2673647287`,
integrating master `287b04d72f1b9fca1412e05435c75b8302ba0710`. GitHub
reports MERGEABLE after the push. The renewed conflicts were
`0398_snapshot.json`, `_journal.json`, and the top imports in
`issue-thread-interactions.ts`. Upstream's `0398` confirmation-recovery
index and journal history are preserved unchanged; Coordinator
preferences were regenerated as idempotent `0399_bouncy_miek.sql`, with
replay coverage updated and exactly the five newest snapshots retained.
Both terminal confirmation notifications and Coordinator task
assignment/required review behavior are preserved.
- All 328 targeted interaction/review/confirmation/migration tests pass,
as do workspace typecheck, map validation and whitespace checks. The
workspace build and fresh exact-head CI/Greptile/Superagent checks are
pending. The first migration-generation attempt hit the sandbox's local
IPC restriction before generating files; the unchanged authorized local
generation completed successfully. Prior-head green checks below do not
establish acceptance of this merge.
- Previous acceptance head: `8b7dcf739ed15afc51351fdfa0e0e5fbc75ab788`,
with master `1aa3a21ac` integrated and GitHub reporting MERGEABLE.
Greptile completed a fresh 5/5 review on this exact head with zero new
actionable findings and no open review threads. The [fresh CI
workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40752864319)
completed SUCCESS on attempt 2 at 19:40:08 UTC, including all eight E2E
shards. Final completed check set: 55 succeeded, four conditional checks
skipped, zero pending/queued/running checks, and one
neutral/inconclusive Superagent scan. The auxiliary commitperclip review
and isolated native Runner compilation/cache-reuse check both passed.
This is not a claim that Superagent produced a passed security verdict.
GitHub still reports MERGEABLE against current master
`60b8089a44b4eaa37e627adbfdf2f130bda13335`.
- Current-head E2E: all eight shards and the aggregate passed, including
the previously failing YAML browser journey. Serialized server shard 9/9
failed: the protected YAML projection test exceeded its original
15-second timeout; its late update request then reached the next test's
reset mock (the captured payload is the prior test's model/label
update). All 88 tests in that exact unchanged file passed locally in
38.03 seconds, with no timeout or assertion changes. The original
slow-request cause remains unproven. CI failure log:
`/tmp/pr17983-8b7-serialized9.log`; local recovery:
`/tmp/pr17983-adapter-yaml-repro.log`. The single bounded unchanged
shard rerun passed, and the workflow completed SUCCESS. Rerun log:
`/tmp/pr17983-8b7-serialized9-rerun.log`. The initial failure is
retained; a passing retry does not establish its original slow-request
cause.
- Greptile scored preceding head `4873704be` 5/5 with one valid P2:
opened task decision records missed company-scoped live invalidation.
The current head uses the existing company decision prefix for
resolution and effect-completion events, and resets private record
payloads on access changes. Its thread is resolved. All 107 focused
record/live-update tests, UI typecheck/build, token checks and
whitespace checks pass.
- CI on `4873704be` failed E2E shard 7/8 in the Advanced YAML
lost-creation-response journey: its clipboard helper selected page text
starting with “Skip to Main Content” instead of YAML. The exact
unchanged journey passed in a disposable local browser instance (1 test,
17.1 seconds). No assertion, timeout or production behavior was
weakened; the original failure cause remains unproven. Failure log:
`/tmp/pr17983-487-e2e7.log`; local check:
`/tmp/pr17983-agent-yaml-repro.log`. The full unchanged Advanced YAML
browser suite also passed locally (6 tests, 37.8 seconds). Fresh
current-head CI subsequently passed this journey and all other E2E
shards.
- Both the automatic and one supported on-demand Superagent scan on
`4873704be` ended neutral/inconclusive: “Pinned PR scan merge-base
checkout failed or timed out.” These do not count as a passed security
verdict. The current head's automatic scan and one documented on-demand
retry also returned the identical neutral checkout failure, with zero
annotations or further diagnostics. This is an external scanner blocker,
not a passed security verdict. No security settings or permissions were
changed.
- Recorded decision links now render and focus the full source-task
record in both Classic and Coordinator, including recorded choice,
submitted inputs, and the existing effect-result resolver. Fresh
terminal records take precedence over older open-decision cache entries.
Context and account checks keep mismatched or inaccessible records out
of the DOM; no decision-history tab was added to tasks or chat. The
shared company live-run feed now drives live-only filtering, including
ended runs and terminal tasks with stale run entries. All 213 focused
tests, UI typecheck/build, token and whitespace checks pass; the final
focus follow-up passed all 188 task-detail tests and UI typecheck. The
first new navigation test failed because its test host omitted company
context; the host was corrected before the passing run.
- Previous integration head: `375c5e89516705050d94bab99336212841b2e6e1`
merges master `1aa3a21ac` after four additional upstream commits. The
sole conflict was competing imports in `server/src/services/issues.ts`;
both quality-review policy and inbound wake-notice notifications are
preserved. The PR-specific review import now sits beside
execution-policy imports instead of the frequently changing first line.
GitHub mergeability is rechecked after the push.
- On the combined master tree, workspace typecheck/build, all 153
affected UI tests, map validation, and whitespace checks pass. Four
server suites passed 77 tests; the fifth suite's module-import hook
timed out while broad verification was running. Its unchanged isolated
run passed all 41 tests in 7.2 seconds with the original timeout. This
records recovery without claiming the original import-timeout cause is
proven. CI on `375c5e895` passed every substantive job, including all
eight E2E shards and Superagent; Greptile found the two functional gaps
fixed in the current head. A short-lived `669d90876` commit added the
main fixes before the focused navigation follow-up.
- Immediately preceding head `9d9737b49` completed all 56 checks
successfully with four conditional skips, Greptile 5/5 and no open
findings, plus a successful Superagent scan. The signoff E2E shard
passed on its single accepted rerun; its initial cancellation/timing
failure is retained below. Master moved again while those checks ran,
requiring this final integration rather than treating the prior head's
green result as current acceptance.
- Previous head `9d9737b496911a6054d0ea22d1b42b28b115e9ab` includes
master `d30c8f42b842327ee1c18c41a2efd6ba623da5cd`; that head was
subsequently conflicted by moving master. The master merge preserved
durable account-bound writes and Coordinator UX. Workspace
typecheck/build, 416 focused UI tests, and 142 affected comment-route
tests passed. A stable full UI run on preceding head `938ad1665` passed
all 9,833 tests across 836 files; its final full workspace build also
passed.
- Greptile found nested proposal project inheritance and Classic
bound-revision links on `91be74952`. Both were fixed with 142
interaction-route tests, 113 focused UI tests, and UI/server typechecks.
Its next review identified a valid draft-preservation bug in the new
Classic loading UI. Head `9d9737b49` keeps loading/error notices outside
editors and annotations while preserving dirty drafts; 115 focused
review UI tests pass, including pending/failed revision loads and
continued draft editing. All related threads are resolved. Greptile
completed a fresh 5/5 review of
`9d9737b496911a6054d0ea22d1b42b28b115e9ab` with no open findings.
- CI on `938ad1665` exposed an integration regression with the newly
merged durable startup saves: the personal preference gate blocked the
task page before its first session lookup. The guarded title editor now
mounts while that lookup is pending, with presentation-specific tools
still gated. All 216 affected component tests pass. The unchanged
five-test `disconnect-write-recovery.spec.ts` browser suite passes
against a newly launched disposable local-trusted PostgreSQL instance on
port 33219, including the exact failed startup-save journey. No live
provider, hosted authentication or production proof is claimed. The
helper-owned test server exited and the port has no listener. UI
typecheck, built-browser assets, token and whitespace checks pass.
- Initial durable-write merge tests found duplicate imports and unscoped
draft fixtures, fixed before 416 focused tests passed. A sandbox
typecheck could not create its IPC socket; the supported rerun passed.
The first revision-link test used a wrong Return to latest button
assertion, corrected before the 113-test pass. The startup E2E
reproduction initially still failed because an outer shell gate also
blocked the page; the subsequent fix passed all five cases without
changing the test or its timeouts. A focused loading-header assertion
initially used an incorrect fixture title; correcting it preceded the
216-test pass. These failures remain recorded.
- Earlier routing gates fell back to GitHub-hosted runners while master
was moving or conflicted. Superseded queued runs were cancelled, then
the `938ad1665` routing gate explicitly selected the ephemeral RunsOn
fleet. Its CI actively executed and completed most tests; only the
diagnosed startup E2E shard and aggregate failed, alongside the valid
Greptile finding. Auxiliary GitHub-hosted workflows also completed
successfully on earlier heads, so queueing alone is not an
administrative blocker. Fresh [CI on
`9d9737b49`](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40744012678)
is the acceptance target; the previously failing startup E2E shard now
passes. A different signoff E2E shard failed during executor
resubmission when its fixture run was cancelled as
`issue_continuation_waiting_on_review`. The exact unchanged journey
passed locally (1 test, 46 seconds), and the preceding head with
identical server/signoff code passed that CI shard. This supports a
bounded rerun but does not establish the timing failure's root cause.
After the workflow finished, GitHub accepted one rerun of that failed
shard and its dependent aggregate; both passed, completing all checks on
that head. The failure log is retained at `/tmp/pr17983-9d9737-e2e7.log`
and the local reproduction at `/tmp/pr17983-signoff-repro.log`. No
assertion or timeout was weakened.
- On the first merge, full workspace typecheck/build, all 9,622 UI
tests, 267 tests across seven affected server suites, two migration
checks, map validation, token gates, and the PR diff whitespace check
passed. Greptile then found duplicate local task-search filtering and
lost completed item-review detail. Both are fixed, with 42 passing
focused UI tests and passing UI typecheck/build.
- A subsequent Greptile review found attachment confirmations without
working links and mobile history without a visible host. Confirmation
layouts now derive the authenticated immutable-content endpoint from the
attachment ID, and Needs You uses the existing full-screen mobile sheet.
All 119 focused tests pass, including missing/stale display URLs, both
review layouts, and both mobile history entry buttons. UI
typecheck/build and token checks pass. Full workspace typecheck/build
also pass after the second master merge.
- Greptile gave head 22f69c304 a 5/5 score with one non-blocking
desktop-history reopening finding. Head 6dd52b6d3 fixed it, passed all
nine history tests, UI typecheck/build, token gates, and the full
9,679-test UI suite, then received a fresh 5/5 review with zero open
findings. These are prior-head results; review on the master-sync commit
is pending.
- The chat and workspace CI jobs on head 22f69c304 were interrupted by
runner shutdown signals and cancellation before completing their tests.
Their logs do not report failing assertions. Those interrupted jobs are
not claimed as passes. The new head starts fresh runs.
- The first merge CI had a Slack session-sync idle assertion fail after
an unexpected database read. Its exact isolated reproduction passes, and
the chat CI shard passed on head 618c5a2a3. The original failure's cause
remains undetermined. The broader local reproduction, run concurrently
with full verification, instead encountered 21 timeout failures across
its two test chunks; it is not claimed as a passing full local server
run. A concurrent local UI run had eight failures (seven timeouts and
one delayed autosave assertion). The complete UI run on the final head
passed all 9,679 tests across 830 files with two workers; no test
timeout or assertion was weakened. This establishes recovery without
claiming that every earlier timeout's cause has been proved. An earlier
intermediate UI run also overlapped the second master merge and failed
the newly added Advanced-sidebar expectation, so it is not treated as
stable-tree evidence. The newly merged UI dependencies initially
required refreshing the local install from the upstream package
manifest; the generated local lockfile update is not committed, per
repository policy.
- Superagent returned neutral/inconclusive scans on the preceding heads
because its pinned merge-base checkout failed or timed out. The
available retry endpoint returned 404. These are not successful security
verdicts. The fresh scan on `91be74952` passed (PR scan passed; no
suspicious PR changes detected). The `938ad1665` scan again returned
neutral/inconclusive with the same pinned merge-base checkout error; the
check-suite rerun endpoint returned 404. The fresh `9d9737b49` scan
completed successfully at 18:22 UTC with no suspicious changes detected.
Earlier neutral scans are not counted as successful security verdicts.
- Prior head `57902152ac3218096fca669d33ff18400a2a86ae` passed 9,618 UI
tests across 826 files, received Greptile 5/5 with no open findings, and
completed CI with 56 passes and four conditional skips. These are
historical results, not acceptance of the latest merge commit.
- The first full build found generated capability-contract drift. The
generated outputs were refreshed. Initial sandbox runs could not open
local IPC sockets; verification was rerun with local test access.
- Current master was merged. The workspace preference migration was
regenerated after the existing migration history.
- The UI run first found two outdated expectations: early custom-answer
validation and the document access error copy. Both were corrected, and
the full UI suite then passed.
- The local server run found three failures in unchanged tests. The Muse
test passes with Python 3.13 instead of the host's Python 3.9. The two
workspace tests pass when their test process uses the expected master
default branch. These environment settings do not change application
behavior or global machine settings. The unsharded server run was
stopped after those reproductions; CI supplies the full sharded server
result. No successful full local server run is claimed.
- Skill inventory generation needs an external eval checkout, which is
absent locally. The existing generator functions refreshed only the live
skill inventory and its derived files. The checked-in eval inventory was
preserved. The inventory validation gate passes.
- Greptile found a dropped MCP review requirement, missing per-item
output links, generic item-review summaries, and a history-refresh
failure. The fixes have 32 passing database-backed server tests and
focused rendered-card tests. A follow-up partial-review finding was
corrected by forwarding the canonical mutation status before settling
the card. Attachments open through the authenticated immutable-content
route in both card layouts. The final focused UI set has 117 passing
tests, including these regressions.
- Both browser shards that first failed expected a disabled-chat
message. The copy was restored, and those shards passed in CI on the
next commit. The two journeys also passed locally. One local attempt
first timed out before feature disable while waiting for the provider's
initial message; its isolated reproduction passed. That earlier timing
failure remains recorded and is not presented as an explained
infrastructure failure.
- Serialized server shard 9 first failed during pnpm setup with
ECONNRESET, before dependencies or tests ran. Its single rerun passed
setup and all tests. The build and production runtime boot passed on the
first attempt, but that run's public-install step timed out during Pi
setup. The single build-job rerun passed compilation, runtime boot, and
clean public-install verification. Those setup scripts are unchanged by
this PR. The successful retry establishes recovery; the earlier Pi
timeout's underlying cause remains undetermined. The aggregate CI gate
is green: [workflow
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40637789695).

</details>

## Risks

- This touches shared task, interaction, and completion paths.
Regression tests must cover classic and experimental behavior,
authorization, duplicate answers, and stale review targets.
- The additive preference table must migrate before the setting is used.
The setting defaults off.
- The experiment changes navigation and message presentation. Canonical
task and document records remain the source of truth.
- The initial task brief and saved plan can repeat information. This
change fixes chronology; a broader redundancy policy remains a design
decision.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 Codex with reasoning and tool-assisted code editing, tests,
and browser verification. Earlier iterations used Codex models in this

7b9334cd10 Draft: Build agent-ready design proposal system (#16875)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and their work.
> - People need consistent UI patterns to review and control that work.
> - The current board uses related layouts and controls with different
spacing, type, and behavior.
> - That drift makes it hard for a designer or an agent to build a new
page from a reliable reference.
> - Storybook can show the shared patterns and the states they need to
support.
> - This pull request adds design proposals, a local sandbox, and
reusable UI controls so people can compare the patterns in context.
> - The benefit is a clearer design system that agents can use to build
consistent UI.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

`ui/` — React board UI and Storybook.

**Problem or motivation**

Board pages repeat visual and interaction decisions. Storybook did not
provide a complete reference for task views, conversation states,
typography, toolbars, tabs, and light/dark colors. People could not
compare a proposed pattern with the running board in one place.

**Proposed solution**

Add a staged Design Proposals catalog with foundations, components,
layouts, and page specimens. Add an opt-in sandbox. Reuse production
components where possible. Include synthetic conversation states and
shared controls so reviewers can compare and refine them.

**Alternatives considered**

Separate static mockups would not show keyboard behavior, responsive
layout, or real component states. Rebuilding each page only in Storybook
would allow the reference to drift from the board.

**Roadmap alignment**

This improves existing board UI and Skills Manager surfaces. It does not
add a new control-plane capability.

## What Changed

- Added dark and light color references, typography and conversation
specimens, and component stories for buttons, tabs, toolbars, sidebar,
popovers, activity, and task lists.
- Added a local design sandbox with synthetic task conversation playback
and representative states.
- Shared collection toolbars and navigation patterns across task, agent,
project, routine, skill, connector, and artifact pages.
- Added the streamlined Skills tabs and a My Skills collection that uses
the shared skill cards.
- Restored saved-thread access during synthetic playback, kept connector
searchbox semantics, and updated reproduction checks after moving trial
stories.
- Documented the proposed patterns and added focused UI, catalog, and
browser checks.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`, and `node
scripts/storybook-catalog.mjs --check` passed.
- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed after
merging master. After the review fixes, focused UI typecheck, `pnpm
build-storybook`, 23 Skills Sources tests, and all 15 Storybook
typography browser tests passed.
- Focused task-thread and system-notice suites passed: 251 tests.
Connector Browse passed 84 tests; the connector, attachment, recovery,
and Storybook flyout browser journeys passed locally.
- A local full Vitest run hit one intermittent chat-channels integration
failure; that test passed in isolation. GitHub CI
[39347996059](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39347996059)
passed on the exact latest commit: 55 successful checks and two skipped
draft-only Storybook jobs.
- Greptile reviewed the exact latest commit at 5/5 with no new comments
or open review threads. GitHub reports the branch as cleanly mergeable.

## Risks

- This PR changes 206 files and exceeds the repository's 100-file review
target. Review by commit and consider a scoped split before merge.
- Design Proposals are staged references. Fixture interactions do not
prove API behavior, permissions, or provider execution.
- UI changes to shared controls may affect pages outside the proposal
sandbox. Focused browser checks and the full CI matrix passed.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact runtime model ID and context
window are not exposed in this session. The model used reasoning, code
execution, browser inspection, and local tests. Earlier branch commits
were also AI-assisted in this Codex conversation.

1c07b5903b feat: Chat leads the left nav, agent work beside chats, and a Combined Inbox + Task List flag (#15100)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The left nav is the main way people move between tasks, the inbox,
and Agent Chat
> - The nav has separate Inbox and Tasks rows that show overlapping
work, and Chat is one row among many
> - The side panel beside a chat shows the conversation's own artifacts,
not the work the agent did
> - People want Chat to be easy to find, and they want one place for
their task views
> - This pull request moves Chat to the top of Work, shows the agent's
tasks and artifacts beside each chat, and adds an experimental flag that
folds Inbox into Tasks
> - The benefit is a shorter nav and a chat view that shows what the
agent is working on. Both changes stay off until an operator enables
them

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14706 (the secondary Agent Chat navigation this change builds on)
Refs #14848 (reopen the last visited agent chat)

**Subsystem affected**
UI navigation (left nav, mobile tab bar), Agent Chat side panel, task
list and inbox, and the company artifacts API.

**Problem or motivation**
Inbox and Tasks are two nav rows for overlapping work. Chat sits in the
top group with no clear home. The chat rail lists only agents you
already talked to, so you cannot see your other teammates there. The
side panel beside a chat shows only the conversation's own artifacts. It
does not show the tasks and files the agent made.

**Proposed solution**
With Agent Chat on, Chat leads the Work section and the rail lists every
eligible agent. The chat side panel opens on the agent's tasks as cards,
and the agent's artifacts are available from +. A new experimental flag,
Combined Inbox + Task List, makes Inbox a set of views inside Tasks.

**Alternatives considered**
Rebuilding the inbox inside the task list. Instead, `/issues` hosts the
existing Inbox component for inbox views and the existing task list for
status views, so all inbox behaviour stays the same.

**Roadmap alignment**
Agent Chat (ROADMAP.md, "Agent Chat (including CEO Chat)"). All changes
are behind experimental flags that are off by default.

## What Changed

- **Agent Chat nav (streamlined shell):** Chat is the first row of Work,
not a top-group row. Workspaces leaves the nav while Agent Chat is on.
The mobile tab bar is Home · Chat · + · Tasks · Agents. The legacy shell
keeps master's top-group Chat row.
- **Chat rail:** `AgentConversationsSidebar` lists every eligible agent.
The open chat is first, then conversations by recent activity, then the
rest of the roster alphabetically. Terminated agents and agents you left
are omitted unless you have history with them. The picker still marks
only real conversations as "Open chat".
- **Chat side panel:** a new default Tasks tab shows one card per task
the agent created, was assigned, commented on, or acted on, newest
first. It has the task list's filter popover and a sort control. **+ →
Artifacts** shows the agent's artifacts as cards. Cards open in a new
tab. Agent Chat off keeps the old Artifacts tab.
- **Artifacts API:** `GET /api/companies/:companyId/artifacts` accepts
`agentId`. The filter applies to documents, work products, and
attachments by the agent each result is attributed to. The shared
validator and the UI client carry the new parameter, and the OpenAPI
entry picks it up from the shared schema.
- **Combined Inbox + Task List flag (`enableCombinedInboxTasks`, off by
default):** new card in Settings > Experimental. The Inbox row goes away
and its badge moves to Tasks. A Views menu on `/issues` covers Mine,
Unread, Blocked, Recent, Everything, All, Active, Backlog, and Done.
Bare `/issues` opens the last-used view (default Mine). Links that carry
`assignee`, `workspace`, `participantAgentId`, or `q` open All so the
filter is kept. `/inbox/*` and
`/issues/{all,active,backlog,done,recent}` redirect to the matching
view. `/inbox/requests` stays its own page.
- **Task detail breadcrumb:** the view key now decides the source, so
quick-archive still works after a reload from an inbox view.
- **Docs:** `doc/PRODUCT.md` and `doc/SPEC.md` describe the chat rail,
the chat side panel, and the new flag.

src/App.activity-routing.test.tsx
src/components/MobileBottomNav.test.tsx
src/components/CommandPalette.test.tsx`: 20 files, 356 tests pass.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/company-artifacts-service.test.ts`: 13/13 pass, including
the new agent-filter test across all three artifact sources.
- The new rail test fails against the unmodified rail.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: all gates clean.
- Manual: enable Agent Chat in Settings > Experimental. Open Chat. The
rail lists all agents. Open a chat. The side panel shows the agent's
tasks. Use **+ → Artifacts** to see the agent's artifacts. Then enable
Combined Inbox + Task List. The Inbox row goes away, and Tasks shows a
Views menu.
- Snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated. See
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md`, "Per-change snapshot verification
demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)".

## Risks

- With both flags off, the app behaves like master. The only exception
is the API: it accepts a new optional query parameter.
- With Agent Chat on, the rail can list many agents in a large company.
It uses the agent list the app already loads, and search filters it.
- The Tasks panel reads at most 200 recently updated tasks per agent and
says so when it reaches the limit. The Artifacts panel reads at most 500
of the agent's artifacts.
- Combined Inbox + Task List changes what bare `/issues` opens for
people who enable it. Deep links with a task filter still open All.

## Model Used

- Claude (Anthropic), model ID `claude-opus-5-5`, through Claude Code
with tool use (shell, file edit, test runs). Extended thinking was
enabled.

59c07ede72 fix(ui): let a selected saved subscription be used without a tile click (#14996)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A user creates an agent in the New Agent flow and connects a model
provider in the model step.
> - When a saved subscription exists, the step shows it as the selected
default and labels the primary button "Use saved subscription".
> - The button stays disabled until the user clicks the provider tile,
which adds no auth step on this path.
> - This extra click is a papercut: the visible choice looks ready but
does not work.
> - This pull request lets a selected saved subscription enable the
button without the tile click.
> - The benefit is one less confusing step, with no change to new
sign-ins or API keys.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. The description follows the bug template.

**What happened**
In New Agent > Connect model, choose a provider that has a saved
subscription (for example OpenAI with a saved default). The saved
subscription shows as selected and the primary button reads "Use saved
subscription". The button stays disabled until you click the provider
tile.

**Expected behavior**
The button is enabled when a saved subscription is selected. A click on
it reuses that subscription.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Have a saved OpenAI subscription.
2. Open New Agent and go to the model connection step for a Codex agent.
3. Do not click the OpenAI Subscription tile.
4. See that "Use saved subscription" is disabled.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at `4abff286c`.

## What Changed

- `AgentProviderConnection.tsx`: the `!opened` gate on the footer
primary button no longer applies when `method === "subscription"` and a
saved subscription is selected. All other disabled conditions stay
(pending auth, loading saved keys, login readiness, API key input).
- `connect()` never reads `opened`, so no auth step is skipped. New
sign-ins and API keys still require the user to open the provider tile.
- `AgentProviderConnection.test.tsx`: a regression test that renders the
initial state (tile not opened, saved subscription selected) and expects
the button to be enabled and to connect with the saved subscription. A
guard test checks that a new sign-in still requires opening the tile.

## Verification

- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/new-agent
src/components/ai-connections --no-file-parallelism`: 6 files, 64/64
tests pass.
- The new regression test fails on master and passes with this change.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`: 0 errors.
- `node scripts/check-token-gates.mjs`: all gates clean.
- Component QA in Storybook (real component, provider verification
simulated): before, the button is disabled and skipped by Tab until the
tile click. After, a direct click and Tab+Enter both connect, with
exactly one verification callback. Selecting a new subscription still
requires opening the tile.
- Full-app before/after QA with a disposable empty backend and a
simulated provider response: same result.
- Not tested: a live OpenAI sign-in. Repo-wide `pnpm -r typecheck`,
`pnpm test:run` and `pnpm build` are left to CI.

Manual check: open New Agent with a saved subscription, go to the model
step, and click "Use saved subscription" without clicking the tile.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change is one condition in one component.
- If a future change makes `connect()` depend on the tile being opened
for saved subscriptions, this path would skip that work. The comment at
the condition records why the gate is skipped.
- Open PR #14698 edits nearby lines in the same component. A small merge
conflict is possible.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edit, browser automation). Extended reasoning on.

467125fafb feat(connections): one-screen connector setup with stated defaults (#14811)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents use Connections (the Apps catalog) to act in services like
Notion, GitHub, Google Workspace and Railway
> - Each connector asked the user to answer setup questions before it
went to the provider. Most of the questions already had the correct
answer selected
> - ROADMAP.md lists "simpler setup" for Apps and Connections as ongoing
work. This change continues that work
> - This pull request removes the questions that Paperclip can answer
itself. It states the defaults in one line and moves the choices behind
"Change" and onto the Permissions tab
> - The benefit is that most connectors take one click in Paperclip and
then the provider's own consent screen

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. This is the description, from the enhancement
template.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The setup flow for tool connectors in the Apps catalog.

**Subsystem affected**
Apps and Connections: `ui/src/features/connections`,
`ui/src/pages/apps`, the `packages/shared` app definitions, and the
OAuth routes in `server/src/routes/tool-access.ts`.

**Current behavior**
Every connector opened with an Access step. The step asked who can use
the connection and which agents get it, and both answers were already
selected. 18 connectors also asked "How do you want to connect?" when
Paperclip could rank the methods. The Google apps and Postman also asked
"What should Paperclip be able to do?" before sign-in. The four gateway
connectors (Zapier, Arcade, Composio, Executor) used a separate two-step
wizard. Asana was pinned to a customer-owned OAuth app, so the user had
to register an app in Asana's developer console. The "Set all" control
on the Permissions tab changed only one action. After the user approved
access, Railway's consent page showed "you can close this window" and
did not return to Paperclip.

**Proposed behavior**
One screen per connector, with one primary button. The screen states the
defaults in one sentence, for example "Connects for everyone in your
organization, available to all agents". A "Change" link opens one
Advanced panel. When the provider's metadata allows dynamic client
registration, Paperclip registers a client itself. Connecting lands on
the Permissions tab. On that tab, "Set all" changes every action in the
group.

**Reason and benefit**
The user makes fewer decisions before the connection exists. Most
choices are easier to make after the connection, on the Permissions tab,
where a change has an immediate effect.

**Breaking changes**
None. No schema or API change. Existing connections keep their settings.

## What Changed

- **No Access step.** `ConnectionSetupFlow` no longer has the Access
step. The flow shows the resolved default above the primary button and
on the completion screen. The access controls moved into one Advanced
panel. The panel opens automatically only when a setting in it is
required.
- **A default method for every app.** The flow always picks the ranked
default method. Alternate methods are in the Advanced panel. The Google
and Postman capability choice is not asked before sign-in. The
write-capable method is the default.
- **Gateway connectors.** `RemoteMcpProductionSetup` (Zapier, Arcade,
Composio, Executor) no longer has its own Access step. Its commit path
and the main commit path use one helper, `askFirstCatalogEntryIdsFor`,
for server-suggested defaults.
- **Dynamic registration from live metadata.**
`canRegisterOAuthClientDynamically` now allows registration when the
provider advertises a registration endpoint, even if the catalog entry
lists only customer-owned clients. The Asana and Linear definitions and
catalog text match live probes. Asana issues clients for loopback
callbacks only, so a hosted deployment still needs an Asana app.
- **Connection setup states.** New
`packages/shared/src/connection-setup-state.ts` sorts each method into
`instant`, `authorize`, `paste` or `register`. The gallery card verb
("Connect" or "Add key") comes from this resolver and the instance's
ownership availability.
- **Generic MCP.** The generic path no longer asks "Does it need a key?"
first. A credential challenge from the server shows the key field.
- **Permissions tab.** Each action row shows its risk level. Each group
has a "Set all" control. The control sends one change for the whole
group. Before, each row's save started from the same render, so the
saves overwrote each other. The Zapier/Arcade/Composio/Executor setup
screen had the same defect.
- **OAuth callback interstitial.** A cross-site browser navigation to
`/api/tools/oauth/callback` gets a small same-origin "Finishing your
connection…" page. That page repeats the request, and the repeat does
the code exchange. Railway's consent page replaces itself after about
two seconds, and the code exchange plus tool discovery takes longer than
that. The interstitial uses only a meta refresh, because the OAuth code
is single-use. Requests without `Sec-Fetch-Site: cross-site` take the
old path.
- **Linear registers through its MCP server.** Linear pins the console
endpoints at `linear.app`. Pinned endpoints now replace discovery only
when the method cannot register, or when the connection has an
operator-entered client. So a Linear connection now finds the
registration endpoint at `mcp.linear.app`.
- **Own-OAuth-app recovery stays on the one-click screen.** When the
method also accepts a customer-owned client, the client fields are in
the Advanced panel. The panel opens after a failed sign-in. "Try again"
resumes the draft with the operator's client.
- **E2E specs** follow the one-screen flow. The Access-step clicks are
removed, the specs open **Change** before they pick agents, and they
expect GitHub's **Add key** verb.
- **Default permissions do not change.** New connections still allow
every action. The user can set actions to Ask first or Off on the
Permissions tab.

## Verification

- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/pages/apps src/features/connections
--no-file-parallelism`
- `cd packages/shared && npx vitest run src/app-definitions.test.ts
src/connection-setup-state.test.ts`
- `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/remote-mcp-connectors.test.ts`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- New tests:
- `PermissionsPanel.group.test.tsx` checks that "Set all" sends one
change for the whole group. It fails on the old code.
  - `action-permissions.test.ts` checks the group update.
  - `connection-setup-state.test.ts` checks the four setup states.
- A server test checks that a cross-site callback gets the interstitial
and does not use the OAuth state, and that the same-origin repeat
completes the connection.
- Manual check on a hosted staging deployment. GitHub, Google Drive,
Composio, Notion, PostHog and Railway each connected from one screen and
returned to the Permissions tab. On Railway, "Set all" changed all 65
write actions, and the change remained after a reload.
- Visual changes: snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated. See
the `doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md` entry "Per-change snapshot
verification demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)".

## Risks

- **Fewer confirmation clicks.** Organization-wide access is the
default, and the user does not confirm it on a separate step. This was
already the preselected answer. The flow shows the default before the
user clicks and again after the connection.
- **Google write scope.** Google apps now request the write-capable
scope by default. A narrower scope needs a new sign-in.
- **Dynamic registration from live metadata.** A provider can advertise
registration and then reject a redirect URI. Asana rejects hosted
callbacks, for example. In that case registration fails, and the
customer-owned client path remains available for recovery.
- **Callback interstitial.** The OAuth callback adds one same-origin
step for cross-site browser navigations. Browsers without `Sec-Fetch-*`
headers use the old direct path.
- Chat and bot connectors (Discord, Telegram, Microsoft Teams, iMessage)
do not change.

Claude Code with tool use (shell, file editing, browser automation) and
extended thinking. It wrote the code, the tests and this description. A
human product owner directed the work and tested it by hand.

scotttongandClaude Opus 5.5 6aa908ef15 fix(heartbeat): cancel queued runs whose claim is permanently rejected (#14738)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The heartbeat scheduler claims queued runs for each agent in
`startNextQueuedRunForAgent`, and startup recovery calls it through
`resumeQueuedRuns`
> - `claimQueuedRun` can throw a 4xx `HttpError` that the run's own rows
decide, for example the 403 from #14043 ("Queued-message interrupt
authority is unavailable")
> - The claim loop does not catch that error. The run stays `queued`, so
every recovery pass and every restart claims it again and gets the same
error
> - During periodic recovery the error is logged, but it stops the claim
loop, so all queued runs of every agent after it wait. During startup
recovery the error is rethrown, so the server cannot boot
> - We saw this on a self-hosted instance: one card-answer run from
#14043 put the server in a crash loop for about 11 hours (216 failed
boots) until the run was cancelled by hand in the database
> - This pull request cancels a queued run when its claim fails with a
403 that cannot clear, keeps a run queued when its 4xx rejection can
clear later, and in both cases continues with the rest of the queue
> - The benefit is that one bad queued run can no longer stop the server
from starting or stall other agents. #14510 fixes the specific identity
mismatch; this change is the safety net for this whole class of error

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14043

Refs #14510, #13539, #13315

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`: The claim loop in
`startNextQueuedRunForAgent` catches errors from `claimQueuedRun` for
each run.
- A 403 is a permanent rejection. In the claim path it only comes from
the run's persisted identity (an unverifiable interrupt receipt, a
manual wake without a user), and those rows do not change. The loop
cancels that run with error code `queued_run_claim_rejected`.
`cancelRunInternal` also cancels the wakeup request and releases the
issue execution lock.
- The cancel runs after the agent start lock is released (`.finally()`),
because `cancelRunInternal` promotes the next queued run under the same
lock. A cancel inside the lock waits 30 seconds for the stale-lock
timeout.
- Any other 4xx (for example a 422 `responsible_user_unresolved`, or a
409) can clear later. The run stays queued, the loop logs a warning, and
it continues with the next run. A later recovery pass tries the run
again.
- Non-HTTP errors and 5xx errors (for example database errors) keep
propagating, as before. Startup still fails when the database or another
dependency is broken.
- If a cancel itself fails, the loop logs the error. The run stays
queued for the next recovery pass.
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-queued-run-claim-isolation.test.ts`:
New embedded-Postgres tests with a mocked adapter:
- A queued-comment interrupt run with an unverifiable receipt is
cancelled, `resumeQueuedRuns()` resolves, and a second pass stays clean.
- A claimable run behind a rejected run of the same agent is claimed and
executed.
- A run with an unresolvable responsible user (422) stays queued, and
the claimable run behind it is executed.
- A rejected run for one agent does not stop the queue of another agent.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-queued-run-claim-isolation.test.ts` passes.
- Without the change in `heartbeat.ts`, all four tests fail (the 403
`Queued-message interrupt authority is unavailable` and the 422
`responsible_user_unresolved` escape `resumeQueuedRuns()`).
- All `heartbeat*`, `*queued*` and `run-identity` server suites pass
locally (1252/1253). The one local failure, `heartbeat-process-recovery`
"redacts opaque environment-bound credentials from Sentry diagnostics",
fails the same way on unchanged `master` on my machine and passes in CI.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm test:run` and `pnpm build` pass locally.

## Risks

- Behavior shift: a queued run whose claim fails with a 403 is now
cancelled, not left queued. Such a run could never start before this
change, so no runnable work is lost. The cancel reason and the
`queued_run_claim_rejected` error code make the cancel visible on the
run.
- A run with another 4xx rejection stays queued, as before, but it no
longer stops the rest of the queue. It logs a warning on each recovery
pass until the cause clears.
- Low risk otherwise: no schema, API or UI change.

scotttongandClaude Opus 5 8f69e0af9d fix(ui): confirm every copy action (#13603)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Much of the work means moving an opaque value somewhere else: an
agent id, a callback URL, a webhook secret, an error payload for a bug
report
> - Copy buttons all over the app do that, and most already say whether
it worked — an icon that flips to a check, a label that reads "Copied"
> - Eleven did not. They passed the promise to `.catch(() => {})` and
showed nothing at all
> - A copy that says nothing looks exactly like a copy the browser
refused, and the only way to tell is to paste somewhere and look
> - The clipboard really does refuse: over plain HTTP on a non-secure
host the async Clipboard API is unavailable, and the fallback can still
fail
> - This pull request gives every copy action an affordance, through two
shared hooks
> - The benefit is that a person can tell a copy from a failure without
leaving the page

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Eleven copy buttons gave no feedback. They called `copyTextToClipboard`
and discarded the result:

```
onClick={() => void copyTextToClipboard(robotEmail).catch(() => {})}
```

Nothing changes on screen, whether the write succeeded or failed. This
is the same surface where most other copy buttons do show a check or a
"Copied" label, so the silent ones read as broken.

**Expected behavior**

Every copy action says whether the clipboard took the value. A rejected
write says so rather than staying silent or claiming success.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open the connector setup flow for an app that shows a sharing email
or a callback URL.
2. Press **Copy** next to that value.
3. Before this change nothing on screen changes. Compare with the copy
button on a login panel, which flips to a check.
4. To see the failure case, open Paperclip over plain HTTP on a
non-localhost host, where the async Clipboard API is not available.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`45586170e` on `master`.

**Deployment mode**

Local.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

Not adapter-specific (core bug).

**Additional context**

Commit `1fa36be35` moved every copy through `lib/clipboard.ts`, so the
call sites are findable. Of 62 call sites, 51 already showed feedback
and 11 did not.

## What Changed

- New `ui/src/lib/use-copy-action.ts` with two hooks:
- `useCopyAction` for a control that stays on screen. It returns
`copied` and `failed` for the inline swap the rest of the app already
uses, and resets itself.
- `useCopyToast` for a menu item, which unmounts with its menu before an
inline state could be read, so its confirmation goes to the toast
viewport.
- Both wait for the write to resolve before reporting success, and both
report a rejection as a failure. `AdapterLoginChrome.test.tsx` already
held that line for one button; the helper now makes it the default.
- The eleven silent sites now use one of the two: the connector setup
flow's sharing-email and callback-URL buttons, the runner inspector's
copy-value and copy-path buttons, the agent bubble and skill studio menu
items, annotation "Copy link" on both its hosts, both secret-error
detail buttons, the chat webhook secret, and the motion tweak panel's
export box.
- The chat webhook secret follows its own file's convention: a label
that reads "Webhook secret copied", matching the manifest buttons beside
it.
- The 51 sites that already had feedback are untouched. Converting them
would be a large diff with no visible change.
- `clipboard-usage.test.ts` gains a static check, sibling to the one
that already keeps copies on the shared helper. It fails if a new copy
site ships with no affordance.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run ui/src/lib/use-copy-action.test.tsx
ui/src/lib/clipboard-usage.test.ts ui/src/lib/clipboard.test.ts
ui/src/components/AdapterLoginChrome.test.tsx` — 18 tests pass.
- The new hook tests cover the three cases that matter: no confirmation
while the write is still in flight, a failure state on a rejected write,
and a return to rest after the reset delay. The toast hook is covered
for both tones.
- `npx vitest run ui/src/pages/apps/AppsConnect.test.tsx
ui/src/components/task-chat ui/src/components/RunnerInspector.test.tsx
ui/src/components/DocumentAnnotation` — the suites over the touched
components pass.
- `npx tsc -b ui` — clean.

## Risks

Low. Each change is additive at its own call site and the copy path
itself is unchanged. The static check is the only part that touches
future contributors: it is one assertion, and its pattern list is easy

scotttongandClaude Opus 5 34355e5109 fix(task-chat): selecting an option no longer jumps to the next question (#13602)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - An agent that needs a decision asks in the task composer, which
renders a question set one question per page
> - Single-choice questions use radio options, and the composer also
ships a "Next" button and pagination arrows
> - Selecting a radio option also set a pending advance, waited for a
short confirm animation, and turned the page on its own
> - That takes the page away from the reader while they are still
reading it, and a misclick costs them the question
> - Nothing on the option says that clicking it will navigate
> - This pull request makes selection answer the question and nothing
else
> - The benefit is that moving between questions is always something the
reader chose to do

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

In the task composer, selecting an option with a radio button jumps to
the next question. `QuestionForm.toggleOption()` set `pendingAdvance`
for any single-select question that was not on the last page, and an
effect then read `--motion-question-confirm`, waited that long, and
called `setPage(page + 1)`. With reduced motion it advanced immediately,
with no pause at all.

The result is that a click meant to answer a question also navigates
away from it. There is no way to read the rest of the page after
choosing, and no way to undo the jump other than pressing the back
arrow.

**Expected behavior**

Selecting an option records the answer and stays on the question. Moving
to the next question stays an explicit act.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Get an agent to ask a question set with two or more single-choice
questions.
2. Open the question in the task composer.
3. Click one of the radio options.
4. Before this change the composer moves to the next question on its
own.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`45586170e` on `master`.

**Deployment mode**

Local.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

Not adapter-specific (core bug).

**Additional context**

Every route forward already shipped beside the options, so removing the
shortcut traps no one:

- a footer button that reads "Next" on any page but the last, and the
submit label on the last;
- previous and next pagination arrows;
- "Skip" on questions that are not required.

The same question sets render outside the composer in
`IssueThreadInteractionCard`, which never had the auto-advance. This
change brings the two surfaces to the same behavior.

## What Changed

- `QuestionForm` no longer sets a pending advance when a single-choice
option is selected. The effect that turned the page is removed with it.
- Selecting an option still clears a submit error about a missing
answer, which is the case that error is about.
- The confirm-before-advance animation existed only to soften the jump.
Its `--motion-question-confirm` token, its keyframes, its class, and the
now-unused `confirming` prop on the option button are removed.
- Tests that asserted the jump now assert the opposite: selection leaves
the page number unchanged, "Next" advances, and number-key selection
stays on the same question.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run ui/src/components/task-chat` — the composer,
interaction card, protocol card, and motion token suites pass.
- `npx vitest run ui/src/components/task-chat/TaskChatComposer.test.tsx`
— 87 tests pass, including four new tests for the stationary behavior.
- `npx tsc -b ui` — clean.
- Keyboard: options keep `role="radio"` inside a `radiogroup`, and a
test asserts that number-key selection selects without navigating.

## Risks

Low. One deliberate behavior is removed. It costs a reader one extra
click per question on multi-question sets, and the explicit control for
that click already existed and is already tested.

scotttongandClaude Opus 5 378f11994b fix(connections): stop the sign-in screen from adding a phantom step (#13601)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents reach other products through connections, which people create
in the connector setup wizard
> - That wizard shows a stepper: a row of dots, a label under each, and
"Step 1 of 2" in the header
> - When a curated OAuth app hands off to the provider, a waiting screen
replaces the wizard while Paperclip prepares sign-in
> - That waiting screen drew its own stepper with three hardcoded
labels, so the stepper grew a dot at the exact moment the person pressed
Connect
> - A stepper that grows mid-flow tells the person they missed a screen
> - This pull request makes the waiting screen show the step model of
the flow that opened it
> - The benefit is that the stepper keeps the same shape from the first
screen to the handoff

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The connector setup wizard shows a two-step stepper for a curated OAuth
app: two dots, labelled "Access" and "Sign in", with "Step 1 of 2" and
then "Step 2 of 2" in the header. When you press Connect, a third dot
appears, labelled "Ready".

The extra dot comes from the OAuth waiting screen.
`OAuthConnectStateScreen` rendered its own header with
`labels={["Access", "Sign in", "Ready"]}`, a constant that did not
depend on the wizard that opened it.

"Ready" is also not a step the wizard can reach. The success screen
hides the step header, so no one ever sees a third step become active.

**Expected behavior**

The stepper keeps the same number of steps from the first screen through
the provider handoff. Waiting for browser sign-in is part of the last
step, not a step of its own.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open **Apps → Connect** and pick a curated app that signs in through
OAuth, for example Notion.
2. Look at the stepper. It shows two dots and reads "Step 1 of 2".
3. Complete the Access step and press the button that starts sign-in.
4. Look at the stepper on the "Preparing secure sign-in" screen. Before
this change it shows three dots and adds a "Ready" label.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`45586170e` on `master`.

**Deployment mode**

Local.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

Not adapter-specific (core bug).

**Additional context**

The reporter suggested removing the stepper, on the condition that no
connector flow has three or more steps. One does.
`ConnectionSetupFlow.tsx` keeps `STEP_LABELS = ["Pick app", "Access",
"Add your key"]` for the generic path, which a person walks when they
paste an MCP endpoint instead of choosing a curated app. The two-step
counts apply only after an app is selected. The condition fails, so this
pull request keeps the stepper and repairs the phantom step alone.

## What Changed

- `OAuthConnectStateScreen` takes a `steps` prop: the labels and active
index of the flow that opened it.
- The curated OAuth path passes its own two-step model, so the count
does not change at the handoff.
- The generic pasted-endpoint path passes the three-step model it was
already walking, so its count does not change either.
- The default for hosts without a wizard of their own, such as the
paste-a-config tab, is `["Access", "Sign in"]`. The invented "Ready"
step is gone.
- `AppsConnect.test.tsx` gains a test that reads the stepper before and
after the handoff and fails if the two differ.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run ui/src/pages/apps/AppsConnect.test.tsx
ui/src/features/connections ui/src/pages/tools/PasteConfigTab.test.tsx`
— 185 tests pass.
- `npx vitest run ui/src/pages/apps/generic-mcp-connect.test.ts` — 27
tests pass.
- `npx tsc -b ui` — clean.
- The new test fails on the previous code. With the old three-label
constant restored it reports `["Access", "Sign in", "Ready"]` where it
expects two labels.

## Risks

Low. The change is limited to which labels the waiting screen draws. No
connection logic, no network call, and no navigation changes.

tool use and code execution.

scotttongandClaude Fable 5.1 dffc2b3ca1 fix(claude-local): skip expired credentials file when reading the Claude token (#13505)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents on the Claude Local adapter run on a local Claude Code
subscription. A user connects that subscription from Agent → Harness /
Runtime → "Connect account".
> - The server verifies the login with `readClaudeToken` in
`packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/quota.ts`. It reads
`~/.claude/.credentials.json` first and consults the macOS Keychain only
when no file is present.
> - On macOS the Claude CLI refreshes the Keychain item, not the file. A
leftover credentials file keeps an expired token forever, and the reader
ignores `claudeAiOauth.expiresAt`.
> - The stale file shadows the live Keychain login. The usage check
fails and the user sees "Could not verify the local subscription"
although `claude auth status` reports a valid login. Running `claude
auth login` again does not help.
> - This pull request skips a credentials file whose token has expired,
so the reader falls through to the Keychain or returns null.
> - The benefit is that a valid local Claude login connects on the first
try, and a dead token is never sent upstream.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists for this bug. Description follows
`bug_report.yml`.

### What happened?

Agent → Harness / Runtime → "Connect account" → Claude (Subscription) →
Connect failed with:

> Could not verify the local subscription. Run claude auth login in a
terminal on the machine running Paperclip, then try Connect again.

`claude auth status` on the same machine reported `loggedIn: true`,
`authMethod: claude.ai`, `subscriptionType: max`. The Keychain item
`Claude Code-credentials` held a fresh token. `POST
/api/companies/:id/ai-connections/local/check` returned
`{"status":"sign_in_required"}`.

A leftover `~/.claude/.credentials.json` (written weeks earlier) held an
access token that expired the same day it was written. `readClaudeToken`
returned that token. `fetchClaudeQuota` got a non-OK response from
`/api/oauth/usage`, and the route threw the generic 422.

### Expected behavior

An expired credentials file must not block a valid login. The reader
skips the dead token and falls through to the Keychain. Connect
succeeds.

### Steps to reproduce

1. On macOS, sign in with `claude auth login` (credentials land in the
Keychain).
2. Place a `~/.claude/.credentials.json` with
`claudeAiOauth.accessToken` set and `claudeAiOauth.expiresAt` in the
past.
3. Open an agent → Harness / Runtime → Connect account → Claude
(Subscription) → Connect.
4. Before this change: the "Could not verify the local subscription"
error appears. After: the connection is created.

### Agent adapter(s) involved

Claude Code (`@paperclipai/adapter-claude-local`)

### Operating system

macOS (Keychain-backed credentials). On Linux the file is the live
store; an expired file token now returns null instead of a failing
request, so the user-facing message is unchanged.

## What Changed

- `packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/quota.ts`:
`parseClaudeCredential` now returns the token plus `expiresAt` (epoch
ms) when the file records one. `readClaudeTokenFromFile` returns `null`
for a token whose `expiresAt` is in the past, so `readClaudeToken` moves
on to the next candidate (second file name, then Keychain when
`allowKeychain` is set). Files without an `expiresAt` keep the old
behavior. `parseClaudeCredentialToken` (used for the Keychain payload)
is unchanged in behavior.
- `packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/quota-keychain.test.ts`:
three new cases — expired file falls through to Keychain; expired file
with no Keychain access returns `null`; a file with no expiry is still
accepted.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local exec vitest run
src/server/quota-keychain.test.ts` → 7 passed (4 existing + 3 new).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local exec tsc --noEmit` →
clean.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/local-ai-credentials.test.ts` → 9 passed.
- Manual, on the affected machine: with the stale file in place, `POST
/api/companies/:id/ai-connections/local/check` (provider `anthropic`,
method `subscription`) returned `sign_in_required`; with the stale file
removed it returned `ready`. This change makes the first case behave
like the second without touching the file.

## Risks

- Low risk. The only behavior change is for a credentials file that
carries a numeric `expiresAt` in the past. Such a token is already
rejected upstream, so the change removes a guaranteed failure rather
than a working path.
- Clock skew: a machine clock that runs ahead of real time could treat a
token as expired slightly early. The fall-through then reads the
Keychain (macOS) or returns null, which triggers the same "sign in"
message the user already sees for an expired token.
- Keychain payloads are not expiry-checked in this PR. The CLI refreshes
that item itself, and `getQuotaWindows` already falls back to the CLI
`/usage` probe when the OAuth call fails.

## Model Used

- Claude — `claude-fable-5-1` (Claude Fable 5.1) via Claude Code, with
extended thinking and tool use (shell, file edit). Root cause found by
reproducing the server's read path against the local credential file and
Keychain.

9b7bd41833 feat(ui): refine dashboard cards, charts, and recent lists (#13269)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators use the dashboard and Live runs page to inspect current
and recent runs.
> - Large transcript cards take space and make it hard to compare run
states.
> - A compact card must show the agent, linked task, and time, with
access to run details.
> - This pull request applies the supplied card design to both views.
> - Operators can scan more runs and open a run or task for details.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The agent run cards on the dashboard and Live runs page, plus dashboard
charts and recent lists.

**Subsystem affected**

`ui/` — React board UI.

**Current behavior**

Both views show large cards with embedded transcripts. Queued and
running cards share a live treatment. The dashboard chart grid leaves an
empty column, recent lists use different row sizes, and some activity
labels expose raw event names.

**Proposed behavior**

Both views use the same compact grid. Each card shows the existing
initials avatar, the agent name, one linked task row, and a
right-aligned timestamp. There is no status chip next to the agent name.
The timestamp uses small Inter text and the same muted gray as dashboard
metric descriptions. Recovery details remain in the task view. Run
status remains in the header tooltip and accessible label, and run
transcripts remain in the run detail view. The shared in-progress task
icon is now an animated circular spinner across the app.

**Reason and benefit**

Operators can scan task states without scrolling through embedded
output. The in-progress spinner keeps the shared task icon sizes,
circular shape, and stroke width. It honors reduced-motion preferences.

**Breaking changes**

The dashboard and Live runs page no longer show transcripts inside
cards. Open the agent header to inspect a run. There are no API or
database changes.

**Additional context**

Related public work found during the duplicate search:

- Refs #4317 — related run-state display concerns. This change does not
change server state reconciliation.
- Refs #11394 — related live-run cache updates. This change retains the
existing data flow.
- Refs #2118 — related navigation from agent cards. The card header here
opens the specific run.

## What Changed

- Apply compact cards to the dashboard and Live runs page, with status
icons and theme tokens.
- Use 16 × 16px status icons in the shared cards, including the
missing-task clock.
- Keep the existing circular initials avatar. Remove the status chip
beside the agent name while preserving the run label for tooltips and
accessibility.
- Replace the shared in-progress task glyph with an animated open
circle. Use the same 10-unit radius and 2-unit stroke as the other task
glyphs, with a reduced-motion guard across all task status surfaces.
This is the requested workflow-status indicator across the app,
including between runs; live indicators separately report active
execution.
- Use the same Tailwind blue tokens as nav dots and Live labels for the
progress icon: blue-400 in dark mode and blue-600 in light mode.
Covered-blocked icons follow the same blue token.
- Match the Tasks by Status chart's In Progress bar and legend to the
spinner's theme-aware color token.
- Distribute the three visible dashboard charts across equal-width
desktop columns, preserving existing gaps, card padding, and page
margins. Retain four columns when the optional priority chart is
enabled.
- Use the done task icon's `--status-task-icon-done` token for green
bars in Run Activity, Tasks by Status, and Success Rate, including their
legends.
- Use the blocked task icon's `--status-task-icon-blocked` token for red
bars and legends in Run Activity, Tasks by Status, Success Rate, and
priority charts.
- Align Recent Tasks live counts to the sidebar's right edge. Reveal the
ellipsis over a fading row surface on hover, keyboard focus, and while
its menu is open, without moving the label or count.
- Keep the ellipsis backdrop synchronized with the row background during
fade-out, using the actual sidebar surface in both themes to prevent a
darker flash.
- On coarse-pointer devices, reserve space for the always-visible
ellipsis and disable its fade so the live count remains readable beside
it.
- Order desktop dashboard Recent Tasks as status icon, task title, agent
avatar/name, 11px monospace task ID, then timestamp. In narrow cards,
keep the ID right-aligned beside the truncated title and place the agent
and timestamp on the second line.
- Give both dashboard lists the same 48px desktop rows, 24px leading
slots, 80px desktop task ID columns, and 64px right-aligned timestamp
columns. Use an 8px icon-to-content gap matching the task detail
heading. Narrow layouts use matching 76px rows with intrinsic-width IDs
on the title line; activity timestamps stay below.
- Order dashboard Recent Activity as actor avatar, actor name, verb,
task title, 11px monospace task ID, then timestamp. Use direct verbs
such as “Board read …” instead of “issue read marked”. Truncate titles
to preserve IDs and timestamps; keep full names and titles in tooltips.
- Use 12px task status icons in the top breadcrumb and Properties status
row. Keep the main task title icon at 20px.
- Reduce monospace task IDs to the 11px micro type token in breadcrumbs
and shared run cards, aligning them to the adjacent task titles' text
baseline while keeping status icons centered.
- Show the task title and identifier in one bordered row. Keep
missing-task links usable and show lookup failures.
- Remove the recovery chip and place the timestamp below the task row.
- Keep the link to all runs available when the dashboard has four or
fewer runs.
- Avoid transcript polling for compact cards.
- Fix bundled Inter font URLs and update the design guide and Storybook
fixtures.
- Cover run navigation, task status, failed lookups, shared icon sizes
and stroke, and reduced-motion-safe animation in tests.

## Verification

- Latest review fixes: targeted SidebarRecentTasks, SidebarNavItem,
StatusGlyph, StatusIcon, ActiveAgentsPanel, activity-format,
ui-font-assets, and Dashboard suites — 65 tests pass, including
read/unread verbs and reduced-motion-safe task animation.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passes.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — all gates pass.
- `git diff --check` — passes.
- Related component suites passed during development: run cards, status
glyphs, breadcrumbs, issue properties, charts, sidebar navigation,
recent-task actions, and settings sidebar.
- Full repository `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass on the final
commit using the temporary Rust toolchain. Storybook build passed
earlier in preparation.
- All CI gates pass on `c85e949b12b471d425d216caa609aee41dc58bde`: all
general/workspace and serialized server test shards, all three browser
shards, build/runner verification, typecheck/release registry, canary
dry run, policy, and security checks. The duplicate local `pnpm
test:run` was stopped after CI completed the same test suites; it is not
claimed as a completed local pass. The two Storybook jobs are skipped by
the configured draft-PR workflow.
- Greptile reviewed the final commit at 5/5 with no actionable findings
and zero unresolved review threads.
- Browser measurements at 1654px, 860px, and 390px confirm matching 48px
desktop and 76px narrow rows (plus 1px dividers), right-aligned IDs on
the title line, 64px timestamp slots, and no horizontal overflow. Narrow
Recent Tasks rows retain readable agent names below the title. Activity
reads as actor, verb, title, ID, time. Additional reference details can
expand an activity row.
- Verified three equal-width desktop charts with 16px gaps and aligned
outer edges. Chart blues, greens, and reds resolve to the matching
task-icon tokens.
- Verified real queued, running, succeeded, failed, cancelled, and
timed-out runs in the dev dashboard. Checked compact cards, task/run
links, timestamps, light/dark themes, and narrow layout.
- To inspect: open Dashboard, then Live runs. Both pages use the same
small cards. Open an agent header for run output, or the task row for
task details.
- Verified the updated spinner on the real dashboard cards, Recent
tasks, and task list. Checked actual SVG circle radius, rendered size,
and stroke width. Confirmed the spinner, nav dots, and Live labels
resolve to the identical blue-400 color in the dark-mode preview; light
mode uses their shared blue-600 token.
- Verified 12px computed width and height in the task breadcrumb and
Properties pane, the restored 20px main task icon, and 11px task IDs
with baseline alignment in the breadcrumb and shared dashboard/Live runs
cards.
- Verified the chart bar and legend resolve to the spinner color; Recent
Tasks counts align with Dashboard's count. Checked the fading ellipsis
overlay with keyboard focus and its open-menu state, then dismissed the
menu.

## Risks

- Operators must open run details to read output that was previously
embedded.
- Run outcomes are available in the header tooltip and run details
instead of a visible status chip. An in-progress task icon reflects task
status, independently of an individual run's outcome.
- Long names and task titles truncate within the compact layout. Full
labels remain available through links and tooltips.
- Font loading changes affect all UI text that uses the bundled Inter
font. The files remain served from the existing public fonts directory.
- No schema, API, adapter, or execution-policy changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 Astra (`gpt-6-astra`), with extended reasoning,
repository tools, code execution, and browser verification. The session
does not expose the context-window size.

5acf56658b feat(onboarding): first task opens as a chat with a chief of staff (#13068)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Onboarding ends by handing a new user to their first agent on a
seeded first task
> - Today the wizard asks for a mission up front, the UI composes what
the agent is told, and the agent starts running before the user says
anything
> - New users get a cold, ticket-shaped start, and nobody can edit the
agent's brief or persona without a code change
> - This pull request makes the first task a short chat: a four-step
wizard, a chief-of-staff persona, a greeting plus a two-option opening
card, server-owned markdown texts, and no run until the user answers
> - It also gives question cards one consistent action row (Cancel /
Skip / Next), makes agent hires idempotent within a run, and turns the
Paperclip Runner flag on by default for self-hosted instances
> - The benefit is a first run the user steers, with texts a board
operator can edit as markdown

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this change. The feature request
fields follow.

Related PRs and issues:

- Refs #11043 — an earlier draft of the first-task onboarding
experience. This PR supersedes it.
- Refs #11280 — a report about the onboarding first-task route test.
This PR extends that test file.

### Subsystem affected

Onboarding wizard, the seeded first task and its texts, task-chat
question cards, agent hiring, and the instance experimental settings.

### Problem or motivation

The onboarding wizard collects a mission through two extra steps and a
questionnaire. The UI then composes the first agent's instructions and
the first task description from those answers. The first task wakes the
agent at once, so the agent runs and posts before the user types a word.
Board operators cannot change the greeting, the brief, or the persona
without editing TypeScript. Question cards in chat behave differently
per adapter, and a single-select pick submits on click. A misread hire
response could create a duplicate agent that the creating agent cannot
remove.

### Proposed solution

Reduce the wizard to four steps and stop the UI from authoring agent
texts. Move the greeting, the brief, the chief-of-staff persona, and the
opening question into markdown and JSON files that the server loads at
runtime. Seed the persona onto the first agent through an explicit hire
marker. Do not wake the first task until the user answers the opening
card or types. Give every question card the same Cancel / Skip / Next
actions. Add an experimental toggle that switches the single-task
proposal between one confirmation card and a plan document with a
checkbox card. Make agent hires idempotent within a run.

### Alternatives considered

- Keep the mission questionnaire and feed it into the brief. Rejected:
the agent asks better questions in chat, and the wizard gets shorter.
- Keep the first task open-ended with a plain composer. Rejected: a
two-option card gives the user a clear first move.
- Derive the plan-document behaviour from the user's intent only.
Rejected in favour of an explicit experimental toggle so operators can
choose.
- Key the "pick does not submit" behaviour off the presence of a submit
label. Rejected: several adapters set a submit label on single-select
cards, and their cards would change behaviour.

### Roadmap alignment

`ROADMAP.md` lists no planned core work on onboarding or the first task.
This change refines the existing flow and does not duplicate planned
work.

## What Changed

- Wizard: four steps (Name your organization, Create your first agent,
Connect a model, Review). The front door and both mission steps are
removed with their state and saved-progress keys. The UI no longer
composes the first agent's instructions or the first task description.
- Server-owned texts: the greeting, the brief with two proposal
variants, the chief-of-staff persona, the opening question, and a README
live in `server/src/onboarding-assets/first-task/` and load at runtime.
The create route stores the assembled brief and ignores any client
description.
- Persona seed: an `onboardingFirstAgent` marker on the hire lets the
server seed the chief-of-staff persona over the first agent's entry
file. Board-authored hires only. The persona tells the agent the hire
response shape and to list agents before it acts on an unclear result.
- No auto-run: the first task does not queue an assignment wake. The
stranded-assignment reconciler leaves it idle until a user comment or an
answered card exists.
- Opening card: the server seeds an `ask_user_questions` card right
after the greeting with two options: "Interview me and propose a plan
and an agent team to execute it." and "I have a task in mind" with free
text. Answering wakes the agent.
- Experimental toggle `enableFirstTaskPlanProposal` (default off): the
single-task proposal is one confirmation card, or a plan document plus a
checkbox card when on.
- Question cards: every `ask_user_questions` card renders Cancel, Skip,
and Next (the submit label on the last question). Skip hides on required
questions. Picking an option no longer advances or submits by itself.
- Wizard guards: the dashboard's agentless offer ignores a cached empty
agent list while a refetch is in flight. The hire step adopts an agent
that already carries the typed name instead of hiring "Name 2".
- Agent hires are idempotent within a run: a retry of the identical
request under the same run id returns the existing agent with `200` and
`idempotent: true`. The fingerprint covers the whole validated request,
so a corrected payload is a new hire. Lookup, create, and activity
record run under one lock per company and run, so overlapping retries
cannot both create.
- The Paperclip Runner experimental flag defaults to on for self-hosted
instances. Cloud keeps its declared default: a managed instance whose
tenant row and managed overlay omit the flag resolves it to off.
- Question cards: a send that finds an earlier required answer missing
returns to that question with a message instead of failing silently.
- The two onboarding e2e specs follow the new wizard: the front door and
growth intake shots are gone, and the planning-mode spec dismisses the
opening card before it reads the composer.
- Docs: `docs/board-operator/editing-first-task-texts.md` explains how
to edit the texts and the toggle.

## Verification

Commands, run from the repo root:

```
pnpm -r --filter './packages/*' --filter '!@paperclipai/paperclip-runner' build
pnpm --filter ./packages/shared typecheck
pnpm --filter ./ui typecheck
pnpm --filter ./server exec tsc --noEmit
pnpm check:token-gates
pnpm --filter ./ui exec vitest run OnboardingWizard onboarding QuestionForm InteractionCard ProtocolCard TaskChatComposer Dashboard feature
PAPERCLIP_IN_WORKTREE=false pnpm --filter ./server exec vitest run onboarding-first-task heartbeat-process-recovery agent-hire-idempotency instance-settings agent-skills-routes issue-onboarding onboarding-greeting --testTimeout=90000
```

Results on this branch:

- Typecheck is clean for shared, ui, and server.
- Token gates: 4 of 4 clean.
- UI: 344 tests pass across 23 files.
- Server: all suites pass. The first test in `agent-skills-routes` has
its own 10 s cap and needs about 15 s on my laptop for the app cold
start. It passes with a longer cap. This PR does not change that cap.

Manual steps on a dev instance:

1. Open `/onboarding`. Confirm four steps: Name your organization,
Create your first agent, Connect a model, Review.
2. Finish the wizard. Confirm the first task shows the chief-of-staff
greeting and the opening card with two options. Confirm no run starts.
3. Pick "Interview me…". Confirm no run starts. Press Continue. Confirm
a run starts and an interview card of 3–4 questions arrives.
4. On a fresh organization, pick "I have a task in mind", type a task,
and press Continue. Confirm a proposal arrives as one confirmation card.
5. Turn on Settings → Experimental → "First task: propose with a plan
document" and repeat step 4. Confirm a plan document and a checkbox card
arrive.
6. Visit the dashboard after the hire. Confirm the wizard does not
reopen and one agent exists.
7. Open any question card. Confirm Cancel returns the plain composer
with the card still pending, Skip advances an optional question, and
Next moves to the next question.

## Risks

- `pnpm dev` now builds the runner daemon because the Paperclip Runner
flag is on by default. Developers without a Rust toolchain must set
`PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_BINARY` or turn the flag off. Self-hosted instances
that never set the flag now let qualified agents use the runner.
- The wizard drops the mission steps and their saved-progress keys. A
user who is mid-wizard on an older build restarts at step 1 after an
upgrade. Existing organizations are not touched.
- The first task no longer runs on its own. A user who neither answers
the card nor types sees no agent activity. This is intended.
- The persona seed applies only to hires that carry the marker from the
wizard. API hires are unchanged.
- Hire idempotency is scoped to one run id and to the exact request.
Retries across runs, or with a changed payload, still create a second
agent. The lock is per server process, which matches how an instance
serves its API.
- Single-select question cards no longer submit on pick. Users of
adapters that relied on that behaviour now press Next.
- No database migrations.

5b56d430e9 feat(ui): refine core navigation and task detail (#12854)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The main navigation and task detail view are core operator surfaces.
> - Several controls used different hover states, popover layouts, and
spacing rules.
> - Recent task actions also needed a compact menu and correct inbox
archive behavior.
> - These differences made the interface feel inconsistent and caused
some content to look crowded or clipped.
> - This pull request aligns these surfaces with the Paperclip design
tokens and current interaction patterns.
> - The benefit is a simpler and more consistent operator experience in
light and dark modes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Profile and organization popovers used inconsistent layouts. Navigation
controls used different hover and selected backgrounds. Task warnings
and the composer could crowd nearby content. Archiving a recent task
could also remove it from more than the inbox.

**Expected behavior**

Popover menus should use the same compact visual language. Navigation
controls should share readable hover and selected tokens. Task detail
content should keep consistent spacing. Archiving should hide a task
from the inbox while keeping it in the task list.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open the main sidebar in light or dark mode.
2. Open the profile and organization menus.
3. Hover navigation items, the organization trigger, the profile
trigger, and the feedback flag.
4. Open a task with a warning banner and a long thread.
5. Use the recent task overflow menu and archive a task.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `master` before this branch.

**Deployment mode**

Local dev (`pnpm dev`).

## What Changed

- Rebuilt the profile and organization popovers with compact token-based
layouts.
- Matched organization popover width and alignment to the profile
popover.
- Unified sidebar hover and selected states in light and dark modes.
- Added a recent task overflow menu with rename, archive, and pause or
restart actions.
- Kept archived tasks in the task list while removing them from the
inbox.
- Improved warning banner and composer spacing in task detail views.
- Added and updated focused UI tests for the changed behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` passed.
- The seven affected UI test files passed with 216 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` passed.
- GitHub CI passed the full build, typecheck and release registry,
general test, serialized server, canary dry-run, and end-to-end
matrices.
- Greptile reviewed commit `6e296be85` at 5/5 with no outstanding
actionable findings.

## Risks

- Risk is limited to sidebar presentation, recent task actions, and task
detail layout.
- The recent task archive action now follows inbox-only archive
semantics.
- No database schema or public API contract changed.

> I checked [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md). This pull request does not
duplicate planned core work.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5.6. The model used high reasoning, tool use, and
code execution. The context window size was not exposed.

871f7d1124 fix(ui): polish core navigation and task layout (#12793)
<!-- Write all pull request text in Simplified Technical English
(ASD-STE100): short sentences, one instruction per sentence, simple
approved vocabulary, and the active voice. -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators use the main navigation, contextual navigation, and task
chat throughout the product.
> - The recent core UI refactor left uneven spacing and inconsistent
navigation styles.
> - The Apps label also did not match the Connectors product language.
> - The account area did not provide a clear direct path for feedback.
> - This pull request aligns these related core UI surfaces and
preserves their existing behavior.
> - The benefit is a more consistent interface with clearer navigation
and balanced task-chat layout.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

This improves the core sidebar, Settings navigation, Connectors catalog,
task-chat layout, and account controls.

**Subsystem affected**

`ui/` — React and Vite board UI.

**Current behavior**

The task chat had uneven edge treatment. Settings used a separate
contextual-navigation style. Apps used inconsistent product labels. The
account footer did not expose a direct feedback control.

**Proposed behavior**

The task chat keeps balanced content padding while its scrollbar sits at
the properties boundary. Settings replaces the primary sidebar with a
matching navigation surface and a Back to app link. Apps uses Connectors
and Browse labels. The account footer provides a dedicated feedback icon
with a tooltip.

**Reason and benefit**

These changes make related navigation and layout patterns predictable.
They reduce duplicate labels and improve access to feedback.

**Breaking changes**

None. Routes, APIs, and stored data do not change.

## What Changed

- Balanced the task-chat content gutter and moved its scrollbar to the
properties-panel boundary.
- Reworked Settings navigation to replace the main sidebar and use the
shared primary-sidebar style.
- Added a Back to app navigation item to Settings.
- Renamed Apps to Connectors in the main navigation and added the
`Unplug` icon.
- Renamed the Connectors contextual item to Browse.
- Added the Connectors top-level header and aligned the search field
with the connector cards.
- Added account-footer hover states and a direct feedback flag with a
Share feedback tooltip.
- Removed the duplicate Feedback item from the account popover.
- Added regression coverage for each changed UI surface.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/AppsSidebar.test.tsx
src/components/CompanySettingsSidebar.test.tsx
src/components/Layout.test.tsx src/components/Sidebar.test.tsx
src/components/SidebarAccountMenu.test.tsx
src/components/task-chat/TaskMessageScroller.test.tsx
src/pages/apps/Browse.test.tsx` — 90 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` — passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed.
- `env PAPERCLIP_PLAYWRIGHT_CHANNEL=chrome PAPERCLIP_E2E_PORT=3201 pnpm
exec playwright test --config tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts
tests/e2e/apps-dark-mode-shots.spec.ts
tests/e2e/sidebar-takeover.spec.ts` — 10 tests passed.
- The full workspace typecheck and build reached the Rust runner and
stopped because `cargo` is not installed on this machine.
- The full test suite exposed unrelated server and workspace-runtime
failures and was stopped after the affected suites completed. No changed
UI test failed.
- Manually verified the changed Settings, Connectors, task-chat, and
account-menu surfaces in the running app.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change affects layout and navigation presentation only.
- The Settings sidebar now replaces the main sidebar by design. Users
must use Back to app to return to the application navigation.
- The task scrollbar offset depends on the existing responsive page
gutters. Regression tests cover both narrow and desktop spacing.

scotttongandPaperclip dc5b070709 fix(runtime): guard empty Bash 3.2 array expansion (#11891)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents can run in isolated worktrees with a separate Paperclip
runtime.
> - Runtime provisioning uses a Bash script on macOS hosts.
> - macOS ships Bash 3.2, where an empty array expansion fails under
`set -u`.
> - The source-config argument array is empty when the base workspace
already has a config.
> - This pull request guards that expansion and tests the normal
base-config path on Bash 3.2.
> - The benefit is that managed worktree provisioning no longer fails
before database seeding.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this problem. PR #11752 added the
conditional source-config argument that exposed the failure.

**What happened?**

`scripts/provision-worktree-runtime.sh` expands an empty
`source_config_args` array while `set -u` is active. Bash 3.2 reports
`source_config_args[@]: unbound variable` and stops provisioning when
the registered base workspace already has `.paperclip/config.json`.

**Expected behavior**

Runtime provisioning must call `worktree ensure-seeded` without a source
override when the base workspace config exists. It must work with the
Bash 3.2 version that macOS supplies.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use macOS system Bash 3.2.
2. Create a base workspace with `.paperclip/config.json`.
3. Run `scripts/provision-worktree-runtime.sh` with `set -u` active in
the script.
4. Observe the unbound-variable error before `worktree ensure-seeded`
runs.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `origin/master` before this change.

**Deployment mode**

Local managed worktree runtime on macOS.

## What Changed

- Guard all three optional source-config array expansions with Bash
3.2-compatible parameter expansion.
- Add a regression test that uses the base-config path and verifies that
no `--from-config` argument is sent.
- Document the Bash 3.2 compatibility requirement in the runtime script.

## Verification

- `/bin/bash -n scripts/provision-worktree-runtime.sh`
- `node --test --test-name-pattern='runtime provisioning invokes
ensure-seeded once|runtime provisioning omits the source
override|runtime provisioning guards every optional source-config
expansion' scripts/__tests__/provision-worktree-self-heal.test.mjs`
- `git diff --check`

## Risks

Low risk. The change only affects expansion of an optional two-element
CLI argument array. The regression tests cover both the empty and
non-empty paths.

discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with model ID `gpt-5`. The runtime did not expose the
context-window size. Reasoning, tool use, and code execution were
enabled.

scotttongandClaude Fable 5 a7e689b3c3 feat(ui): rename "Agent mode" to "Auto mode" and show full work-mode labels (#11866)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The task composer and the New Task dialog show a work-mode chip (how
the agent will run a task)
> - The default mode was labeled "Agent mode", and the New Task dialog
chip abbreviated every mode to one word ("Auto", "Plan", "Ask")
> - "Agent mode" is confusing because every mode runs an agent, and the
abbreviated chip hid what the label means
> - This pull request renames the mode to "Auto mode" and makes every
mode chip show the full label
> - The benefit is a clearer, consistent mode name in every place the
user selects a work mode

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this change. Description follows the
enhancement template:

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The work-mode selector chips in the task composer and in the New Task
dialog.

**Subsystem affected**

UI (`ui/src/lib/work-mode-meta.ts`,
`ui/src/components/NewIssueDialog.tsx`).

**Current behavior**

The default work mode is labeled "Agent mode". The New Task dialog chip
shows a shortened label ("Auto", "Plan", "Ask") from a separate
`shortLabel` field.

**Proposed behavior**

The default work mode is labeled "Auto mode". Every chip shows the full
label ("Auto mode", "Plan mode", "Ask mode"). The `shortLabel` field is
removed so no surface can fall back to the short form.

**Reason and benefit**

"Agent mode" does not describe the behavior — all modes use an agent.
"Auto mode" states what the mode does. One label field keeps every
surface consistent.

**Breaking changes**

None. This is a display-string change only. No API, storage, or mode-key
changes.

## What Changed

- Renamed the `standard` work-mode label from "Agent mode" to "Auto
mode" in `ui/src/lib/work-mode-meta.ts`, the single source for all mode
chips.
- Changed the New Task dialog mode chip to render the full `label`
instead of `shortLabel`.
- Deleted the `shortLabel` field from `WorkModeMeta` so nothing can
silently regress to the short form.
- Updated unit tests and fixtures to pin the full labels.

## Verification

- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui test --
src/lib/work-mode-meta.test.ts src/components/NewIssueDialog.test.tsx
src/components/IssueChatThread.test.tsx
src/components/task-chat/TaskChatComposer.test.tsx`. All tests pass. The
tests assert the labels are exactly "Auto mode", "Plan mode", and "Ask
mode".
- Manual: start the dev server, open the board, press `c` to open the
New Task dialog, and press Cmd+Period to cycle modes. The chip reads
"Auto mode", "Plan mode", then "Ask mode". The composer chip on an open
task shows the same labels.

## Risks

- Low risk. Display strings only. The chip is a few pixels wider in the
New Task dialog; no layout overflow was observed in any of the three
modes.

## Model Used

- Claude Fable 5 (Anthropic, model ID `claude-fable-5`), extended
thinking with tool use, run inside a Claude Code agent session.

cbe6395cc5 fix(ui): task chat composer clears on send; align carets and composer with thread (#11772)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task detail view uses a chat-style thread: agent turns, activity
phases, and a message composer.
> - A colleague's UX review found three defects: the composer draft
stayed visible after send, disclosure carets in turns and status pills
were misaligned, and the composer was not horizontally aligned with the
thread column.
> - These defects make the chat surface feel unpolished and cause
confusion about whether a message was sent.
> - This pull request fixes all three defects with small, targeted UI
changes and adds regression tests for each.
> - The benefit is a chat surface that behaves and aligns like users
expect from a messaging UI.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this. Description of the underlying
problems:

**What happened?**

Three UI defects in the chat-style task view:

1. After a user pressed send, the composer kept the draft text until the
server round-trip finished. Fast typers could see stale text and doubt
the message was sent.
2. The disclosure carets on collapsed agent turns and the caret inside
the status pill did not share one alignment axis. They rendered at
different x-offsets and sizes.
3. The composer container had different horizontal padding than the
thread column above it, so the input box did not line up with the
message bubbles.

**Expected behavior**

The composer clears the instant a send starts. All disclosure carets sit
on one vertical axis with one size. The composer's left and right edges
align with the thread column.

**Steps to reproduce**

Open any task in the chat-style task view. Type a message and press
Enter — watch the composer text. Collapse and expand agent turns —
compare caret positions. Compare the composer's horizontal edges with
the message bubbles above it.

## What Changed

- `TaskChatComposer.tsx`: clear the draft synchronously when a send
starts instead of after the request resolves; restore the draft if the
send fails.
- `TaskChatTurn.tsx` and `TaskChatStatusPill.tsx`: use one shared caret
alignment (size, x-offset) for turn disclosure and status pill carets,
with supporting utility styles in `ui/src/index.css`.
- `TaskChatThread.tsx`: align the composer container with the thread
column padding.
- Added or updated unit tests in `TaskChatComposer.test.tsx`,
`TaskChatTurn.test.tsx`, `TaskChatActivityPhase.test.tsx`, and
`TaskChatThread.test.tsx`.

## Verification

- Run `pnpm vitest run
src/components/task-chat/TaskChatComposer.test.tsx
src/components/task-chat/TaskChatActivityPhase.test.tsx
src/components/task-chat/TaskChatTurn.test.tsx
src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx` in `ui/` — 4 files, 64 tests,
all pass.
- Manual: open a task in the chat view, send a message, and confirm the
composer clears immediately. Collapse/expand turns and confirm the
carets align. Compare composer edges with the thread column; the
alignment fixes were also pixel-verified with screenshots during local
review.

## Risks

- Low risk. All changes are render-layer only; no server or data
changes.
- The composer now clears optimistically. If a send fails, the draft is
restored, so no user text is lost.
- Caret alignment uses shared CSS utilities; visual regressions would
show in the existing component tests and in any screenshot diff.

## Model Used

- Implementation: OpenAI Codex CLI coding agent (Codex model family,
agentic tool use) via Paperclip's Codex adapter.
- Review, verification, rebase, and PR preparation: Anthropic Claude,
model id `claude-fable-5` (extended thinking, tool use), via Claude
Code.

scotttongandClaude Opus 5 a1278e6ded fix(markdown): make rendered code blocks follow the active theme (#11591)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents report their work in task chat, and that chat renders
markdown through `MarkdownBody`
> - Agents post shell commands, API payloads and diffs, so a fenced code
block is one of the most frequent things a person reads in the product
> - The rendered code block was pinned to two literal colors, so it
stayed dark in light mode and was the only dark surface on a light page
> - The `prose` and the `prose-invert` variables held the same two
values, so the theme could not change the block at all
> - This pull request binds the block to the theme tokens that already
exist and already carry a `.dark` override
> - The benefit is that a code block now matches the page in both modes,
and it follows any future change to the theme automatically

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. The problem is described below.

**What happened?**
A fenced code block in rendered markdown is always dark. It uses the
background `#1e1e2e` and the text color `#cdd6f4` in light mode and in
dark mode. In light mode the block is the only dark surface on the page.
The rule is in `ui/src/index.css`. The variables `--tw-prose-pre-bg` and
`--tw-prose-invert-pre-bg` are set to the same literal value, so
`prose-invert` cannot change it.

**Expected behavior**
A code block uses a light surface with dark text in light mode. It uses
a dark surface with light text in dark mode. It follows the theme like
every other surface in the app.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start the app and open a task that contains a fenced code block in
its chat.
2. Set the theme to light.
3. Look at the code block. The block is dark. The page is light.
4. Set the theme to dark. The block does not change.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced on `master` at `4af55ba6b`.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core bug). The defect is in the UI render path.

**Deployment mode**
Local development server.

## What Changed

- Bind `.paperclip-markdown pre` to `--muted`, `--foreground`,
`--border` and `--radius-lg` in `ui/src/index.css`. Remove the `#1e1e2e`
and `#cdd6f4` literals.
- Set the four `--tw-prose-*-pre-*` variables to the same tokens, so
`prose` and `prose-invert` both follow the theme.
- Apply the same four tokens to `.paperclip-mdxeditor-content pre`.
- Change the fill of the copy button and the wrap button to
`--background` in `ui/src/components/MarkdownBody.tsx`. The old fill was
`color-mix(in oklab, var(--muted) 92%, var(--background) 8%)`. That
value is almost equal to the block's new `--muted` surface, so the
buttons would nearly disappear.
- Update the stale comment above the rule. The comment said "Dark theme
code blocks".
- Add `ui/src/components/MarkdownCodeBlockStyles.test.ts`. It fails if a
literal color returns to any themed code surface.
- Export `codeBlockActionStyle` from `MarkdownBody.tsx` so the new test
can read it.

No new design token is added. Every token used here is already defined
in `ui/src/index.css`, and each one already has a `.dark` override.

## Verification

Automated:

```bash
cd ui && npx vitest run --config vitest.config.ts src/components/MarkdownCodeBlockStyles.test.ts src/components/MarkdownBody.test.tsx src/components/MarkdownBody.wrap.test.tsx src/components/MarkdownAccentStyles.test.ts
```

59 tests pass.

`MarkdownCodeBlockStyles.test.ts` is new. It guards the defect directly.
It reads `index.css` and asserts that each themed code surface rides a
token and holds no hex, `rgb()` or `hsl()` literal. I confirmed the test
fails on the original defect: restoring `#1e1e2e` and `#cdd6f4` fails 2
of the 5 tests.

Manual. Open a task that has a fenced code block in its chat. Read the
computed style of `.paperclip-markdown pre` in the browser. The measured
values are:

| Property | Light | Dark |
| --- | --- | --- |
| background | `oklch(0.97 0 0)` | `oklch(0.269 0 0)` |
| color | `oklch(0.145 0 0)` | `oklch(0.985 0 0)` |
| border | `oklch(0.922 0 0)` | `oklch(1 0 0 / 0.1)` |
| radius | `8px` | `8px` |

These values are `--muted`, `--foreground`, `--border` and `--radius-lg`
for each mode. Toggle the theme and confirm the block changes with the
page.

## Risks

Low risk. The change is CSS and one inline style value. There is no
migration and no schema change.

Two behavioral notes for the reviewer:

1. The corner radius changes from `calc(var(--radius) - 3px)` (5px) to
`var(--radius-lg)` (8px). This matches the approved design and removes
an arbitrary offset. It is a small visual change on every code block.
2. The CodeMirror theme inside the MDXEditor still uses the Catppuccin
literals (`ui/src/index.css`, the `.paperclip-mdxeditor .cm-editor`
rules). That surface is an editor, not a rendered snippet, and a change
there needs a full light CodeMirror theme. A code block therefore looks
light when it is rendered and dark while a person edits it. This is
intentional in this pull request. Tell me if you want it in scope.

Syntax highlighting, line numbers and diff rows are not in this pull
request. The repository has no highlighter dependency and no syntax or
diff tokens. Those are separate changes.

## Model Used

Claude Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5`), via Claude Code. Extended thinking was
on. Tool use was on, with file edit, shell, browser automation and the
Paper design tool. The design was produced first in Paper, then read
back through the design tool for exact token values rather than from
screenshots.

1c366a9059 fix(server): reject invalid agent credentials instead of downgrading to the local user actor (#11589)
<!-- Write all pull request text in Simplified Technical English
(ASD-STE100): short sentences, one instruction per sentence, simple
approved vocabulary, and the active voice. -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server authenticates each agent request in `actorMiddleware`
before it attributes chat comments
> - When an agent bearer token failed verification, the middleware
called `next()` with no error and the request continued without an agent
actor
> - The request then fell back to the local user actor, so the server
stored agent replies as user comments
> - The task chat UI renders user comments in blue bubbles, so agent
messages appeared as blue user bubbles
> - This pull request rejects invalid agent credentials with 401 instead
of a silent downgrade
> - The benefit is that agent messages keep agent attribution, and
broken credentials fail loudly with a clear retry message

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A user cancelled an onboarding question card. The agent posted a
follow-up reply. The reply appeared in a blue bubble, which the UI
reserves for human messages. The agent run held an expired local agent
JWT. The auth middleware could not verify the token, called `next()`
without an actor, and the request fell back to the local user identity.
The server stored the agent comment as a user comment.

**Expected behavior**

Agent messages always render as agent bubbles. A request with invalid
agent credentials must fail with 401 so the adapter can refresh
credentials and retry. It must not post content under a human identity.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a local Paperclip instance.
2. Give an agent run an expired or malformed agent JWT.
3. Let the agent post an issue comment through the API bridge.
4. Before this change: the comment is stored with the local user
identity and renders as a blue bubble. After this change: the request
fails with 401 and a message that tells the caller to obtain fresh
credentials.

## What Changed

- `server/src/middleware/auth.ts`: a bearer token that fails
verification now produces a 401 `unauthorized` error instead of a silent
fall-through to the anonymous/local-user actor.
- The 401 message states the cause: expired token, unverifiable token,
empty bearer token, missing agent record, agent record in another
company, terminated agent, or agent pending approval.
- The API-key path now also rejects an agent record whose company does
not match the key.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target.ts`: the bridge proxy now
writes a `comment id: <id>` marker to the run log for each posted issue
comment, so misattributed comments can be traced to a run.
- `ui/src/components/task-chat/task-chat-adapter.test.ts`: a regression
test asserts that a recovered `local-board` comment with a derived agent
author renders as an agent bubble, not a user bubble.
- `server/src/__tests__/agent-auth-middleware.test.ts` and
`packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target-sandbox.test.ts`: new tests
cover each rejection path and the log marker.

## Verification

- Run `pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/agent-auth-middleware.test.ts` in
`server/` — 14 tests pass.
- Run `pnpm vitest run execution-target-sandbox` at the repo root — 44
tests pass.
- Run `pnpm vitest run
src/components/task-chat/task-chat-adapter.test.ts` in `ui/` — 4 tests
pass.
- Manual check: post an issue comment with an expired agent JWT; the API
returns 401 with a retry message and no comment is stored.

## Risks

- Behavioral shift: requests that previously continued as anonymous or
local-user actors after a failed agent-token verification now receive
401. Any caller that relied on the silent downgrade must refresh its
credentials. This is the intended fix, and the adapters already handle
401 with a credential refresh.
- No schema or migration changes. Low risk otherwise.

scotttongandPaperclip eabecc6f77 feat(annotations): include issue document annotations in agent review context (#11332)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Reviewers annotate plans and issue documents with inline comments,
and assigned agents act on that feedback
> - The server already builds a bounded review context from open plan
annotations and includes it in agent wake payloads
> - Non-plan issue documents did not get the same treatment: their open
annotation threads never reached the agent, and the properties pane did
not surface their annotations
> - This pull request extends the review-context path and the
properties-pane UI to issue documents, at parity with plans
> - The benefit is that agent feedback on any issue document reaches the
assigned agent, not only feedback on the plan

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The review-context pipeline that delivers inline annotation feedback to
assigned agents, and the properties pane that surfaces those annotations
to reviewers.

**Subsystem affected**

The server review-context path
(`server/src/services/plan-review-context.ts`, wake payload assembly in
`server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`, `server/src/routes/issues.ts`),
shared wake-payload types (`packages/shared`, `packages/adapter-utils`),
and the issue properties pane (`ui/src/components/issue-properties/`).

**Current behavior**

A reviewer can annotate any issue document, not only the plan. The agent
wake payload includes open annotation threads for the plan document
only. Feedback left on other issue documents is invisible to the
assigned agent. In the properties pane, the Artifacts tab also gives no
way to see or open a document's annotations.

**Proposed behavior**

Add `buildDocumentReviewContext` beside the existing plan builder. It
collects open annotation threads for all non-plan issue documents,
applies the same thread, comment, and character budgets across
documents, and reports truncation. Include the result as a new
`documentReviewContext` field in agent wake payloads and in the issue
wake-context route. Keep the plan context on its legacy builder and
field so plan-only wakes stay byte-for-byte compatible. Render the new
context in the adapter wake-payload text, and surface annotation counts
and the annotation panel for documents in the properties pane's Plans
and Artifacts tabs.

**Reason and benefit**

The floating annotation popover and persistent highlight UI landed
earlier; this change completes the loop so agent feedback on any issue
document reaches the assigned agent, not only feedback on the plan.

**Breaking changes**

None. The wake payload gains a new optional `documentReviewContext`
field; the existing plan context field and its legacy builder are
unchanged, so plan-only wakes stay byte-for-byte compatible.

## What Changed

- Add `buildDocumentReviewContext` in
`server/src/services/plan-review-context.ts`: bounded review context
(shared thread/comment/character budgets, per-document legacy limits)
over all non-plan issue documents
- Include `documentReviewContext` in agent wake payloads
(`server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`) and in the issue wake-context
response (`server/src/routes/issues.ts`)
- Add shared `DocumentReviewContext` / `DocumentReviewContextDocument`
types in `packages/shared`
- Normalize and render the new context in adapter wake-payload text
(`packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.ts`), with tests
- Show a `DocumentAnnotationsCountChip` and the annotation panel for
documents in the properties pane Plans and Artifacts tabs, with tests
- Extend server document-annotations service tests to cover the new
context builder

## Verification

- Run `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/document-annotations-service.test.ts` from the repo
root — 104 tests pass
- Run `TZ=UTC npx vitest run
ui/src/components/issue-properties/IssuePropertiesDocumentAnnotations.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssueProperties.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssueDocumentAnnotations.test.tsx
ui/src/components/DocumentAnnotationPopover.test.tsx` from the repo root
— 75 tests pass (one pre-existing monitor-row case asserts UTC
timestamps, so use `TZ=UTC` locally; CI runs in UTC)
- `pnpm run typecheck` in `server/` passes
- Manual: annotate a non-plan issue document, then wake the assigned
agent with a comment — the wake payload lists the open document
annotation threads; the Artifacts tab shows the annotation count chip
and opens the panel

## Risks

- The wake payload gains a new optional `documentReviewContext` field;
consumers that ignore unknown fields are unaffected, and the plan
context field is unchanged
- The context is new input to agent wakes; shared budgets (same limits
as the plan context) bound token cost across all documents
- Low UI risk: the properties-pane changes reuse the existing annotation
components

discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap

0ee0543e5b feat(ui): refine the chat-style task workflow (#11263)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The issue detail view is the main place where people read work and
guide agents.
> - The chat-style task view needs clear messages, controls, properties,
and document feedback.
> - Dense metadata and disconnected controls make active work harder to
scan.
> - This pull request refines the existing chat-style task workflow
across desktop and mobile layouts.
> - The benefit is a clearer issue thread with faster access to the
controls that guide work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The change improves the chat-style issue detail view that was introduced
in [#10606](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/10606) and
expanded in
[#10707](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/10707).

**Current behavior**

The issue thread spreads task controls across the page. Agent-turn
metadata competes with the message content. Document annotation comments
use inline placement that limits the document reading area. The mobile
composer can overlap the bottom navigation.

**Proposed behavior**

The issue view keeps the thread focused on message content. It moves
supporting controls into the properties area, adds searchable
assignment, restores the sub-task tree, docks document comments in a
side gutter, and keeps the mobile composer clear of navigation.

**Reason and benefit**

People can scan active work faster and find task controls without
leaving the issue. The layout also gives documents and mobile
conversations more usable space.

**Breaking changes**

None. The change updates presentation and interaction behavior in the
existing issue UI.

## What Changed

- Refined task-chat message spacing, metadata, agent bubbles, and
composer alignment.
- Added searchable assignment and restored sub-task navigation in the
properties pane.
- Moved document annotation comments into a right-side gutter.
- Kept the mobile composer above the auto-hiding bottom navigation.
- Added and updated focused component tests for the changed
interactions.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `TZ=UTC pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/InlineEntitySelector.test.tsx
src/components/IssueDocumentAnnotations.test.tsx
src/components/IssueProperties.test.tsx
src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx`
- The token gates report 3/3 clean.
- The focused test run passes 124 tests in 5 files.
- Visual snapshot baselines were not updated. This follows the
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md` entry "Per-change snapshot verification
demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)."

## Risks

- The changes affect several related issue-detail layouts. A browser
review should cover desktop and mobile widths before merge.
- The monitor-row test formats time in the host timezone. The
verification command sets `TZ=UTC` to match CI.

scotttongandClaude Fable 5 5bb2490b86 feat(ui): surface all issue documents and agent artifacts in chat-style sidebar (#11226)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The task detail page uses a chat-style thread with a right sidebar;
the sidebar has a Plan tab and an Artifacts tab (#11101 made this UI the
default)
> - The Plan tab only showed the one issue document named `plan`, and
the Artifacts tab only listed formal work products; other agent-authored
documents (for example a `synthesis` doc) and agent-attached files were
invisible in the sidebar
> - Users could see an agent mention a document in the thread but had no
way to find that document in the sidebar, which breaks trust in the task
view as the record of the work
> - This pull request surfaces every non-system issue document in the
Plan tab, composes the Artifacts tab from work products, documents, and
agent-created attachments, and gives thread images a full-screen
lightbox with download
> - The benefit is that anything an agent produces on a task is now
reachable from the sidebar, while user uploads stay with their comments
in the thread

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #11101 (chat-style task UI default — this PR extends its sidebar).

**Subsystem affected**

Task detail UI (chat-style thread sidebar): Plan tab, Artifacts tab, and
thread attachment rendering in `ui/src`.

**Current behavior**

The Plan tab renders only the issue document literally named `plan`. The
Artifacts tab renders only formal work products. Agent-authored
documents with any other name, and files agents attach to comments, do
not appear anywhere in the sidebar. Thread images open as bare links.

**Proposed behavior**

The Plan tab lists every non-system issue document, with the `plan`
document first and the others rendered inline below it. The Artifacts
tab composes three sources — work products, issue documents, and
agent-created comment attachments — deduplicated against
attachment-backed work products via `metadata.attachmentId`, and shows
whenever any source is non-empty. Work-product rows without a resolvable
attachment or document fall back to links found in their metadata so
they stay clickable. Images in the thread open a shared full-screen
lightbox with a download action. Files uploaded by users stay
thread-only and are not mixed into the Artifacts tab.

**Reason and benefit**

Agents routinely produce documents that are not named `plan` and attach
files to their comments. Users reading the thread must be able to find
every one of those outputs from the sidebar. Redundant surfacing is
acceptable; an unfindable document is not.

**Breaking changes**

None. This is additive rendering; no schema or API changes.

## What Changed

- `IssuePropertiesPlansTab.tsx`: renders all non-system issue documents,
`plan` primary, others inline below via `MarkdownBody`
- `IssuePropertiesArtifactsTab.tsx`: composes work products + documents
+ agent-created attachments with dedupe; rows without an
attachment/document target fall back to `metadata` links
- `IssueProperties.tsx`: Artifacts tab visibility now derives from the
composed source set
- New `ui/src/lib/issue-artifacts.ts`: pure composition/dedupe logic,
unit-tested
- New `ui/src/components/task-chat/task-chat-attachments.ts`: splits
agent vs user comment attachments, unit-tested
- `TaskChatBubble.tsx`: thread images open the shared full-screen
lightbox with download
- `useIssueDocuments.ts`: hook now exposes the full issue-document list

## Verification

- `pnpm typecheck` — passes across the workspace
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 CLEAN
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run src/lib/issue-artifacts.test.ts
src/components/task-chat/task-chat-attachments.test.ts
src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx` — 74 tests pass
- Manual: open a task whose agent created a document not named `plan`
(for example `synthesis`); confirm it appears in the Plan tab below the
plan and in the Artifacts tab; confirm an image the agent attached
appears under Artifacts; confirm a user-uploaded image stays only in the
thread and opens full screen with a download button

Snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated for this visual change,
per the `doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md` entry "Per-change snapshot
verification demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)".

## Risks

- Low risk: rendering-only change scoped to the task sidebar and thread
bubbles; composition logic is pure and unit-tested
- Dedupe relies on `metadata.attachmentId` linkage; a work product with
malformed metadata would render as a duplicate row (cosmetic only)

## Model Used

- Claude (Anthropic), model id `claude-fable-5`, extended thinking
enabled, agentic tool use via Claude Agent SDK (Claude Code harness)

scotttongandPaperclip cc35c3c395 feat: structure and humanize recovery notices (#11075)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip posts system comments when automatic run recovery cannot
continue
> - These comments currently mix the main event with recovery
identifiers and routing details
> - The task chat shell also renders these comments as large raw text
blocks
> - Operators need a short explanation first and inspectable evidence on
demand
> - This pull request emits structured recovery notices and renders them
as compact humanized rows
> - The benefit is a quieter task thread that keeps the full recovery
evidence available

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related prior extraction source: #11070. This pull request replaces only
its structured recovery notice slice with a focused branch based on
current master.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Paperclip recovery escalations and the experimental task chat
system-comment renderer.

**Current behavior**

Recovery escalation comments put action identifiers, owner details, run
details, and failure codes into the visible markdown body. The task chat
shell renders the complete system comment as a large text block.

**Proposed behavior**

The server emits a short system notice with typed metadata sections. The
task chat shell classifies known recovery families and renders one
compact row. An operator can expand the row to inspect the full body and
metadata.

**Reason and benefit**

The main thread stays readable during repeated recovery activity. Typed
links and evidence remain available without exposing raw failure text in
the default view.

**Breaking changes**

The visible recovery comment body is shorter. Recovery action
deduplication now reads the structured metadata and still recognizes
legacy body markers. No API schema or database migration changes.

## What Changed

- Emit stranded recovery escalations with `system_notice` presentation
and typed recovery, owner, run, and failure-code metadata.
- Share bounded metadata row builders across recovery notice producers
and preserve legacy deduplication compatibility.
- Humanize known recovery notice families and render compact expandable
task-chat rows.
- Route system-authored comments ahead of derived agent authorship so
recovery notices do not appear as agent bubbles.
- Add focused server and UI regression coverage.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 clean.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared exec vitest run
src/validators/issue.test.ts` — 32 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/recovery/stranded-notice.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-recovery-actions.test.ts` — 57 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/recovery/successful-run-handoff.test.ts
src/services/recovery/stranded-notice.test.ts` — 39 tests passed.

src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts -t 'escalates an
exhausted failed successful-run handoff without using generic
continuation recovery first|escalates an exhausted successful handoff
run that still leaves no disposition'` — 2 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts -t 'blocks assigned
todo work after the one automatic dispatch recovery was already used'` —
passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/lib/system-notice-humanizer.test.ts
src/components/task-chat/TaskChatSystemNotice.test.tsx
src/components/task-chat/task-chat-adapter.test.ts` — 15 tests passed.
- Storybook visual baselines were not updated because this chat-shell
path has no affected snapshot baseline. Focused rendering tests and
token gates cover this change.

## Risks

- Consumers that parse recovery action identifiers from comment markdown
must move to structured metadata. Server deduplication remains backward
compatible with legacy comments.
- The humanizer uses stable recovery-family phrases. Unknown notices use
a generic truncated first-sentence fallback.
- The UI changes only the experimental task chat presentation. The
stored comment body and expanded metadata remain available.

scotttongandPaperclip 4e9a78db58 feat(ui): persist task chat composer drafts (#11076)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People send task instructions through the board task chat.
> - A page refresh or task switch can discard an unfinished message in
the redesigned composer.
> - The existing task chat already supplies a task-specific draft key.
> - The redesigned composer must use that key without changing
attachment or send behavior.
> - This pull request restores, saves, and clears text drafts in the
redesigned composer.
> - The benefit is that users can return to unfinished task messages
without losing their text.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related prior work: #11070. This pull request extracts only the final
composer draft behavior from that larger draft.

**Subsystem affected**

ui/ — React + Vite board UI.

**Problem or motivation**

The redesigned task chat composer does not use the draft key that the
task thread already provides. A refresh, navigation, or unmount can lose
an unfinished message.

**Proposed solution**

Persist text drafts by task key in local storage. Restore a draft when
the composer mounts. Save changes after a short delay and flush pending
text during unload or unmount. Clear the draft only after a successful
send.

**Alternatives considered**

The composer could save on every keystroke. A short delay avoids
unnecessary synchronous storage writes. The feature could also stay in
the larger predecessor PR, but a focused PR is easier to review and
verify.

**Roadmap alignment**

This is a focused usability improvement for the task conversation
surface. It does not add or duplicate a roadmap capability.

## What Changed

- Added safe draft storage helpers for load, save, and clear operations.
- Connected the task-specific draft key to the redesigned task chat
composer.
- Preserved drafts across debounce windows, unmounts, page unloads,
failed sends, and React Strict Mode probes.
- Cleared drafts after successful sends without changing current
attachment safeguards.
- Added focused composer and thread integration tests.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/task-chat/TaskChatComposer.test.tsx
src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx`

## Risks

- Local storage can be unavailable or full. The helpers catch storage
errors and keep the composer usable.
- Only text is persisted. Attachments, work mode, and assignee
selections remain session state.
- Draft keys remain task-scoped, so text does not cross task boundaries.

discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with model `gpt-5`. The context-window size is not exposed
in this environment. The model used agentic reasoning, tool use, code
execution, and test execution.

scotttongandPaperclip 34fe57a024 fix(server): ignore sibling worktrees in dev watch (#11074)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Developers can run Paperclip from linked Git worktrees.
> - The server development watcher scans paths near the active checkout.
> - A main checkout can contain many complete sibling worktrees under
`.paperclip/worktrees`.
> - Scanning those sibling checkouts can stall the watcher before it
starts the server.
> - This pull request excludes the shared worktree directory from the
development watcher.
> - The benefit is that development startup stays responsive as the
number of worktrees grows.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The server development watcher traversed sibling checkouts under
`.paperclip/worktrees`. Large worktree collections could make `pnpm dev`
stall before the watcher started the server process.

**Expected behavior**

The watcher must observe only source paths that can reload the active
checkout. It must ignore sibling worktrees in both a main checkout and a
linked worktree.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create several linked worktrees under `.paperclip/worktrees`.
2. Add normal dependency and build output trees to those worktrees.
3. Run `pnpm dev` from the main checkout or one linked worktree.
4. Observe the watcher scan sibling worktrees before it starts the
server.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `master` before this change.

**Deployment mode**

Local development with `pnpm dev`.

## What Changed

- Detect whether the active server root is inside the managed
linked-worktree directory.
- Ignore the shared `.paperclip/worktrees` root from both main and
linked checkouts.
- Add regression coverage for the resolved ignore path and its globstar
form.

## Verification

- `./node_modules/.bin/vitest run
server/src/__tests__/dev-watch-ignore.test.ts --reporter=verbose`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`

## Risks

- Low risk. The change affects only local development watch exclusions.
- A non-standard checkout that copies the same `.paperclip/worktrees`
directory layout will receive the same exclusion.

b67c512f82 feat(ui): live run label → run detail, running row → task detail (#11034)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The agent detail page has a Dashboard tab. The Dashboard tab shows a
"Live Run" section for the agent's current heartbeat.
> - The "Live Run" section has two clickable pieces: the section heading
and the running row. Both pieces linked to the same run detail page.
> - Two controls that go to the same place waste a navigation affordance
and hide the task the agent runs.
> - This pull request splits the two destinations. The heading goes to
the run. The running row goes to the task.
> - The benefit is that a user reaches the run internals from the label
and the work item from the row, in one click each.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this change. The description follows
the enhancement issue template.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The "Live Run" section on the agent detail page, Dashboard tab (the
`LatestRunCard` component in `ui/src/pages/AgentDetail.tsx`).

**Current behavior**
The "Live Run" heading and the running row both link to the run detail
page (`/agents/:agentId/runs/:runId`). The row shows the run code and an
invocation-source chip. There is a separate "View details →" link that
also goes to the run detail page. A user cannot reach the task the run
works on from this section.

**Proposed behavior**
The heading becomes a link to the run detail page and appends the short
run code, shown as `Live Run · <run code>`. The redundant "View details
→" link is removed. The running row links to the task detail page when
the run's context snapshot resolves to a known issue, and the row then
shows the task status glyph, the task slug, and the task title. A pure
timer heartbeat with no resolvable task keeps the previous behavior: run
code plus source chip, linking to the run detail page.

**Reason and benefit**
The heading and the row now go to distinct, intuitive destinations. A
user reaches the run internals from the label and the work item from the
row, each in a single click. The fallback keeps heartbeats with no task
readable and avoids a blank or broken row.

## What Changed

- Made the "Live Run" / "Latest Run" heading a `Link` to the run detail
page and appended the short run code (`run.id.slice(0, 8)`) in a mono
span, formatted `Live Run · <run code>`. Kept the pulsing live dot.
- Removed the redundant "View details →" link.
- Changed the running row `Link` target to the task detail page
(`/issues/:identifier`) when a task resolves, falling back to the run
detail page otherwise.
- Resolved the task from the run context snapshot
(`contextSnapshot.issueId`, falling back to `contextSnapshot.taskId`)
against a `Map` of the agent's assigned issues threaded in from
`AgentOverview`.
- When a task resolves, replaced the run code and source chip in the row
with the task status glyph (`StatusGlyph`), the task slug, and the task
title. Kept the running spinner, the run status badge, and the
timestamp.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` → 3/3 gates clean.
- `pnpm --filter ui typecheck` → passes.
- `pnpm --filter ui exec vitest run
src/pages/AgentDetail.progress.test.ts
src/pages/AgentDetail.instructions.test.tsx` → 10/10 pass.
- Manual (needs a reviewer with a browser): open an agent detail page →
Dashboard tab.
- For a live issue-execution run: the heading reads `Live Run · <run
code>` and opens the run detail page; the row shows the task status
icon, slug, and title and opens the task detail page.
- For a pure timer heartbeat with no task: the row falls back to run
code + source chip and opens the run detail page. No blank row.
  - Confirm both states in light and dark mode.

## Risks

Low risk. The change is presentational and scoped to one component. The
task lookup is defensive: it reads the context snapshot with a fallback
key and only renders the task row when the issue is present in the
already-loaded assigned-issue set, so an unknown or missing issue
degrades to the previous run-detail behavior rather than breaking.

thumbs-up / thumbs-down feedback, but the redesigned task thread dropped
these controls from the agent bubble footer.
> - Users lose a quick way to copy an agent reply or send feedback on
it, and the redesign silently ignored the feedback-vote props it was
already given.
> - This pull request prepends a copy · thumbs-up · thumbs-down cluster
to the bubble summary line and wires the existing feedback-vote props
through.
> - The benefit is a consistent feedback surface across both chat views,
with no new API.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this change; the underlying issue is
described inline below following the feature template
(`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.yml`).

#### Problem or motivation

The redesigned task thread renders each agent reply with a "✓ Worked · N
tools · <timestamp>" summary line, but it dropped the copy and thumbs-up
/ thumbs-down controls that the conference-room chat still shows. Users
can no longer copy an agent reply or vote feedback from the task thread.
The redesign component already received `feedbackVotes` and `onVote`
props but ignored them.

#### Proposed solution

Prepend a copy · 👍 · 👎 cluster to the summary line, leading the
always-visible timestamp, reusing the shared `IssueChatFeedbackButtons`
so both chat views speak the same feedback language. Anchor the cluster
to the turn's summary row (a sibling of the expandable tool-history
fold) so it stays on the summary line whether the tool history is
collapsed or expanded.

#### Alternatives considered

Placing the cluster inside the expandable fold — rejected because
expanding the tool history then re-centered the actions to the middle of
the tall fold.

#### Roadmap alignment

UI polish to the task thread; no core-roadmap overlap.

## What Changed

- Add `TaskChatBubbleActions`: a copy · thumbs-up · thumbs-down cluster
built on the shared `IssueChatFeedbackButtons`.
- Render the cluster on the agent bubble's "✓ Worked · …" summary line,
leading the timestamp; runless agent replies get the same cluster with
the timestamp trailing. Human and system bubbles are unchanged.
- Add a `leading` slot to `TaskChatTurn` so the actions sit on the
summary row, a sibling of the tool-history fold, and stay anchored when
the fold expands.
- Wire the redesign to the `feedbackVotes` / `onVote` props it already
received.
- Add a demo binding in the `TaskChatLab` dev harness.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 gates CLEAN.
- `pnpm typecheck` — clean across all packages.
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run
src/components/task-chat/TaskChatBubble.test.tsx
src/components/task-chat/TaskChatTurn.test.tsx` — 31/31 pass.
- Manual: open a task thread, confirm the copy / 👍 / 👎 cluster shows on
the agent bubble summary line before the timestamp, copy works, votes
toggle, and the cluster stays on the summary line when the tool history
is expanded.

Visual change: snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated, per the
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md` entry "Per-change snapshot verification
demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)".

## Risks

Low risk. UI-only change scoped to the redesigned task-chat bubble
footer. It reuses an existing shared feedback component and existing
vote props; no API, schema, or server change. Human and system bubbles
are untouched.

d84c5eae7a feat(ui): hide task priority from the UI (keep data model) (#11024)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Tasks and issues carry a `priority` field that renders across many
product surfaces: the detail header, the Triage properties panel, Kanban
and thread cards, the New Task composer, list Sort/Group/Filter menus,
search filters, and the dashboard chart.
> - Product feedback found the priority level adds visual noise and
decision cost without clear value in day-to-day task flow.
> - We want to remove priority from the interface, but keep the data
model, API, validation, and search DSL fully intact so the choice is
reversible with no migration.
> - This pull request hides every priority indicator and control behind
one compile-time flag, `SHOW_TASK_PRIORITY_UI`, set to `false`.
> - The benefit is a calmer, simpler UI now, with a single-boolean
revive path and zero data loss.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

<!-- No public GitHub issue exists. Describing in-PR per the feature
template. -->

**Subsystem affected**
The web UI (`ui/src`): issue detail, properties panel, Kanban/thread
cards, New Task dialog, issues list Sort/Group/Filter menus, search
filter bar/sheet, dashboard charts, and the design-guide showcase.

**Problem or motivation**
The task/issue priority level appears across many surfaces and adds
visual clutter and decision overhead without pulling its weight in
normal task flow. We want it gone from the interface without discarding
the underlying data or breaking anything that depends on it.

**Proposed solution**
Add a single compile-time UI flag, `SHOW_TASK_PRIORITY_UI` (default
`false`), and gate every priority indicator and control behind it. Leave
the data model, API params, Zod validation (including the `"medium"`
default), and the search filter DSL untouched. Reviving priority is a
one-line flip of the flag back to `true`.

**Alternatives considered**
Deleting the priority code and schema outright. Rejected: it is
irreversible, needs a data migration, and throws away a field the API
and search still support. A gated flag keeps the change reversible and
low risk.

**Roadmap alignment**
UI simplification. This is a presentation-only change; it does not alter
core agent or data behavior.

## What Changed

- Added `ui/src/lib/ui-flags.ts` exporting `SHOW_TASK_PRIORITY_UI:
boolean = false` (typed `boolean` so gated branches are not flagged as
dead code).
- Gated the priority row in the Triage properties panel and the editable
priority control in the issue detail header (plus its skeleton seed).
- Gated the per-card priority icon in `KanbanBoard` and in
`IssueThreadInteractionCard`.
- Hid the priority chip and the mobile "more" menu priority section in
the New Task dialog. The submit path still sends the `"medium"` default.
- Removed the Priority options from the issues list Sort and Group-by
menus; the comparator and grouping logic stay dormant.
- Hid the Priority sections in the issue filters popover and in the
search filter bar and sheet. The `priority:` search DSL and filter state
stay functional at the data layer.
- Suppressed active-filter priority pills for consistency.
- Gated the "Tasks by Priority" dashboard chart and the design-guide
priority showcase subsection.
- Left activity-feed "changed priority" history text intact as a
historical record.
- Updated call-site tests to assert priority UI is absent while the flag
is off, added focused hidden-surface tests, and added a test that proves
creating a task still persists `priority: "medium"`.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` — all 3 gates clean.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — clean.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run` on the touched
surfaces (IssueProperties, IssueFiltersPopover, IssuesList,
NewIssueDialog, IssueDetail, PriorityIcon and its interaction test) —
all green under `TZ=UTC`.
- Manual: with the flag off, priority does not appear in the detail
header, Triage panel, New Task composer, Sort/Group/Filter menus, or the
dashboard chart. Creating a task still persists `priority: "medium"`,
and the `priority:` search token still filters at the data layer.

## Risks

Low risk. The change is presentation-only and additive: no data model,
API, validation, or search-DSL changes. The priority code paths remain
compiled and tested; flipping `SHOW_TASK_PRIORITY_UI` to `true` restores
the full UI. Visual snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated per
the `doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md` entry "Per-change snapshot
verification demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)".

scotttongandClaude Opus 4.8 2ea22d6cea fix(ui): white text on light-mode user chat bubbles (#10952)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task detail view shows the conversation as chat bubbles. The
requester's own messages sit in a solid accent-colored bubble.
> - The bubble container sets `text-white`, but the message body renders
through `MarkdownBody`. Tailwind prose tokens (`--tw-prose-body`) win
over the inherited container color.
> - `prose-invert` only lightens the prose text in dark mode. In light
mode the prose body stayed its default dark color, so the text read as
near-black on the blue bubble and was hard to read.
> - This pull request maps the human bubble's prose tokens to the
inherited text color in both themes.
> - The benefit is that the requester's chat text is readable
white-on-blue in light mode, and dark mode stays exactly as it was.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

<!-- No public GitHub issue exists; described in-PR per the bug report
template. -->

**What happened?**
In light mode, the text inside the user's own chat bubbles in the task
detail view rendered as dark (near-black) on the solid blue accent
background. This made the requester's messages hard to read.

**Expected behavior**
The text inside the user's accent-colored chat bubbles should be white
in light mode, matching the bubble's `text-white` intent. Dark mode
already rendered correctly and should not change.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open a chat-style task detail view in light mode.
2. Post a message as the requester (human) so it renders in the solid
blue accent bubble.
3. Observe the body text renders dark on blue instead of white.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduces on `master` (branched from `814cb3367`).

**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core UI bug).

## What Changed

- Add the existing `paperclip-markdown-on-accent` class to the
human-branch `MarkdownBody` in `TaskChatBubble.tsx`. This class (already
used by `IssueChatThread` for the same accent bubble) maps prose
body/heading tokens to `currentColor`, so the text follows the bubble's
`text-white` in both themes.
- Apply the same class to the human-branch `MarkdownBody` in
`TaskChatDescriptionBubble.tsx` (the description-as-first-bubble
surface) for consistency.
- Add unit tests covering that the human accent bubble carries the
on-accent class and the agent/neutral bubbles do not.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` → 3/3 CLEAN.
- `pnpm --filter ./ui vitest run
src/components/task-chat/TaskChatBubble.test.tsx` → 9/9 passing.
- Manual: in light mode, the requester's chat bubble text renders white
on blue; agent/neutral bubbles unchanged; dark mode unchanged.

This is a visual change. Snapshot baselines are intentionally not
updated, per `doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md` → "Per-change snapshot
verification demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)".

## Risks

Low risk. The change is scoped to the human-branch `MarkdownBody`
className on two chat-bubble components and only remaps prose color
tokens to the inherited text color. Agent and neutral bubbles are
untouched, and dark mode behavior is unchanged.

## Model Used

window, extended thinking mode, with tool use / code execution.

scotttongandClaude Opus 4.8 f950952de7 fix: reliably show plans in the Plan pane and restore sticky plan confirmation CTAs (#10930)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Chat-style tasks show an agent's plan in a dedicated "Plan" pane,
and a plan confirmation lets the user accept or request changes to that
plan
> - When an agent asked for confirmation but never actually published
the plan document (it only wrote the plan in a comment or a question),
the Plan pane rendered empty, and the confirmation call-to-action that
used to sit pinned at the bottom of the pane had disappeared
> - A user asked to confirm a plan they cannot see, with no visible CTA,
is stuck — the feature silently fails
> - This pull request closes the gap on both sides: it prevents plan
confirmations that don't point at a real, latest plan revision, it
teaches agents to publish the plan document before confirming, and it
restores the sticky confirmation action bar and an explanatory empty
state so the pane never goes silently blank
> - The benefit is that when a plan is expected, it reliably shows up in
the right pane with reachable accept/revise actions

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

<!-- No public GitHub issue exists; describing in-PR per the bug
template. -->

**Bug report**

- **What happened:** A task in planning mode could present a plan
confirmation while the Plan pane stayed empty (no plan document
rendered), and the plan-card confirmation CTAs that were previously
pinned to the bottom of the Plan pane no longer appeared.
- **Expected behavior:** When a plan is expected, the plan document
appears in the Plan pane; when a plan is genuinely missing, the pane
explains why rather than showing nothing; and the accept/request-changes
CTAs stay visible and reachable while the plan scrolls.
- **Steps to reproduce:** Put a task in planning mode with the
chat-style task view enabled, have an agent create a plan confirmation
without first publishing the `plan` document, and open the Plan tab —
the pane is blank and the confirmation actions are missing.
- **Deployment mode:** Local dev and self-hosted; UI + server.

Related PR (not a duplicate): #9609 "Pin pending confirmations by
composer" pins confirmations in a different surface (the composer); this
PR restores the Plans-pane action bar and the server/agent guarantees
behind it.

## What Changed

- **Server:** Reject a `request_confirmation` whose target is a plan
document unless a plan document exists and the target points at its
*latest* revision, so a confirmation can never reference a plan the pane
cannot render (`readPlanTarget` is now exported for reuse).
- **Agent instructions:** The CEO and default agent instruction bundles
now spell out a plan-publish contract — publish the `plan` document,
re-`GET` it and capture `latestRevisionId`, then create the confirmation
targeting that revision; never present a plan only in a thread comment
or via `ask_user_questions`.
- **UI — sticky CTAs:** Restore the plan confirmation action bar pinned
to the bottom of the Plans tab so accept/revise stay reachable while the
plan scrolls.
- **UI — diagnostics:** Keep the Plan tab visible whenever an issue is
in planning mode (even before a plan document exists) and show an empty
state explaining why the pane is empty instead of rendering nothing.
- **UI — annotations:** Add a `panelPlacement="inline"` mode so the
plan-document annotation panel renders in document flow instead of as a
floating side panel when hosted in the narrow task properties pane.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` → 3/3 CLEAN
- `pnpm typecheck` → clean (all packages)
- UI: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/issue-properties/IssuePlanConfirmationActionBar.test.tsx
src/components/IssueProperties.test.tsx
src/components/IssueDocumentAnnotations.test.tsx` → 69 passed
- Server: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-thread-interaction-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/agent-skills-routes.test.ts` → 60 passed
- Manual: with a planning-mode task, the Plan tab stays visible, shows
the plan document (or a diagnostic empty state), and the confirmation
CTAs stay pinned at the bottom.

Visual note: snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated — per
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md` "Per-change snapshot verification demoted
to dormant (Jul 13 2026)". The `storybook-visual` label is intentionally
not added.

## Risks

Low-to-moderate. The server change adds a validation gate on
plan-document confirmations: an interaction that targets a stale or
nonexistent plan revision is now rejected with a 422 instead of being
created. This is the intended guarantee, but any caller that relied on
creating such confirmations will now need to publish the plan document
first (which the updated agent instructions cover). UI changes are
additive to the Plans tab and gated by the existing chat-style-task
experimental flag.

## Model Used

Claude Opus 4.8 (Anthropic), model id `claude-opus-4-8`, extended
thinking enabled, with tool use (file editing, shell, test execution).

scotttongandClaude Opus 4.8 dc71fef6bf feat(ui): show task identifier in task-detail breadcrumb header (#10933)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task detail page shows a breadcrumb header with the task status
glyph and the task title.
> - The breadcrumb did not show the task identifier, so a reader could
not name the task without opening extra context.
> - Agents and people refer to tasks by identifier, so the identifier
belongs next to the title.
> - This pull request renders the task identifier in the breadcrumb
header, between the status glyph and the title.
> - The benefit is faster reference: a reader sees the task key and the
title together at the top of the page.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The task detail breadcrumb header. It shows the status glyph and the
task title, but not the task identifier.

**Subsystem affected**
Web UI — the breadcrumb bar on the task detail page
(`ui/src/components/BreadcrumbBar.tsx`,
`ui/src/context/BreadcrumbContext.tsx`, `ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.tsx`).

**Current behavior**
The breadcrumb header renders the status glyph and then the task title.
The task identifier does not appear in the header.

**Proposed behavior**
The breadcrumb header renders the task identifier between the status
glyph and the title. The identifier uses gray monospace styling from
design tokens (`font-mono text-muted-foreground`).

**Reason and benefit**
A reader can name and reference the task from the header without opening
more context. The identifier and the title appear together.

**Breaking changes**
None. The identifier field is optional. Crumbs without an identifier
render as before.

## What Changed

- Add an optional `identifier` field to the `Breadcrumb` type and
include it in the `breadcrumbsEqual` comparison so an identifier change
triggers a fresh render.
- Add a `CrumbIdentifier` helper in `BreadcrumbBar` that renders the
identifier in gray monospace (`font-mono text-muted-foreground`), placed
after the leading status glyph in each crumb variant.
- Wire the issue identifier onto the task crumb in `IssueDetail`.
- Add unit tests that cover the identifier field in `breadcrumbsEqual`
(fresh render on change, no-op on identical value).

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` → 3/3 gates CLEAN (color literals, arbitrary
bracket values, raw font-size).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/context/BreadcrumbContext.test.tsx` → 4/4 tests pass.
- `pnpm typecheck` → the four changed files typecheck clean.
- Manual: open a task detail page. The breadcrumb header shows the
status glyph, then the task identifier in gray monospace, then the
title.

Visual change. Snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated, per
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md` → "Per-change snapshot verification
demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)".

## Risks

Low risk. The change is additive and the identifier field is optional.
It touches only the breadcrumb header rendering and the equality check.
No data model or API change.

## Model Used

Claude Opus 4.8 (Anthropic), model id `claude-opus-4-8`, extended
thinking enabled, tool use enabled.

scotttongandClaude Opus 4.8 b1b7a9dff6 feat(settings): alphabetize experimental cards and drop the Experimental chip (#10924)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Instance Settings area exposes an Experimental page that lists
opt-in feature toggles as cards.
> - New experimental features were appended to the list over time, so
the cards sat in insertion order with no predictable arrangement.
> - An unordered list is hard to scan when you are looking for one
specific feature.
> - Each card also carried a small "Experimental" secondary badge, which
is redundant on a page that is itself titled Experimental.
> - This pull request sorts every card alphabetically by its title and
removes that redundant badge.
> - The benefit is a list that is faster to scan and headings that are
less cluttered.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this change, so the enhancement is
described inline following `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/enhancement.yml`:

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The Instance Settings → Experimental page, which lists opt-in feature
toggles as a stack of cards.

**Subsystem affected**
UI — the Instance Experimental settings page
(`ui/src/pages/InstanceExperimentalSettings.tsx`).

**Current behavior**
Cards render in insertion order (the order features happened to be
added), so finding a specific feature means scanning the whole list.
Several headings also carry a redundant "Experimental" secondary badge.

**Proposed behavior**
Cards render top-to-bottom in A→Z order by title, and no card shows an
"Experimental" secondary badge. Toggle logic, footnotes, conditional
visibility, and the "Managed by Paperclip Cloud" badge are unchanged.

**Reason and benefit**
Alphabetical order makes the list predictable and quick to scan for a
specific feature. The "Experimental" badge repeats information already
conveyed by the page title, so removing it declutters the headings.

**Breaking changes**
None. This touches card render order and the removal of a decorative
badge only — no state, persistence, toggle, or visibility logic changes.

## What Changed

- Sorted every card on the Instance Experimental settings page
alphabetically by its heading title.
- Removed the redundant "Experimental" secondary badge from the card
headings (previously on Apps, Cases, and Chat-Style Tasks).
- Added tests asserting the cards render in case-insensitive
alphabetical order and that no card renders an "Experimental" secondary
badge.
- No behavior change: toggle handlers, footnotes, managed-key handling,
and conditional cards (Conference Room Chat, worktree-scoped run) are
untouched and now sort into their alphabetical slots.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` → all 3 gates CLEAN.
- `npx vitest run ui/src/pages/InstanceExperimentalSettings.test.tsx` →
32/32 tests pass (the suite renders the real component and now covers
ordering + badge removal).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` (`tsc -b`) → clean.
- Manual: open Instance Settings → Experimental. The cards read A→Z and
no card shows an "Experimental" chip.

## Risks

Low risk. The change is limited to one page component: card render order
and the removal of a decorative badge, plus new tests. No state,
persistence, toggle, or visibility logic is modified.

## Model Used

9b9631b724 feat(ui): chat-style tasks polish — rich-text composer, attachment chips, live-turn interstitials, mobile layout (#10707)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators talk to their agents on the issue detail page. An
experimental "Chat-Style Tasks" view (#10606) makes that page read as a
conversation instead of a ticket form.
> - The first release of that view shipped with a plain-text composer,
no visible narration while an agent works, and a desktop-only layout.
> - Users write formatted replies, paste screenshots, and follow long
agent runs from their phones. The experimental view should support all
of that before it can graduate.
> - This pull request is the next iteration of the same experiment: a
rich-text composer with attachments, live-turn narration on the status
line, cleaner settled-turn history, and a mobile layout.
> - The benefit is a chat view that feels alive while the agent works
and stays readable after it finishes, on desktop and mobile, still fully
behind the existing opt-in flag.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #49 (chat with agents is a much-wanted feature).
Refs #10606 (the merged first release of the experimental chat-style
task view; this PR iterates on it).

Related PRs found in the dedup search:
- #8228 — open PR that polishes the classic issue chat composer. It
targets the flag-off legacy path; this PR only changes the flag-on
experimental view.
- #10466 — merged blockquote-recovery fix in the shared MarkdownEditor.
This PR now reuses that editor inside the chat composer.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The experimental "Chat-Style Tasks" view on the issue detail page
(Settings → Experimental, `enableTaskChatRedesign`, default off).

**Subsystem affected**

UI (issue detail page, chat-style task view).

**Current behavior**

With the experiment enabled, the composer is a plain textarea with no
formatting, no attachment preview, and no mention support. While an
agent runs, the status line shows only a static label, and the agent's
narration text is hidden. Finished runs render one settled row per turn,
so a run with many short turns produces a long list of near-duplicate
"Worked" rows, and turns without a comment append at the bottom out of
order. On mobile, the desktop bounded-height thread makes the page
scroll poorly.

**Proposed behavior**

The composer uses the shared MarkdownEditor: markdown formatting,
mentions, image paste with thumbnail previews, and non-image attachment
chips. Sending posts on Cmd/Ctrl+Enter. While an agent runs, the status
line rotates playful status words and surfaces the agent's own narration
as short interstitial updates: each update holds for a minimum dwell, is
replaced only when superseded, and slides through a one-line viewport
with tokenized motion. Back-to-back settled turns coalesce into one
"Worked" row with summed durations and re-derived tool counts, and
comment-less settled turns insert chronologically at their run's start
time. On mobile, the thread renders in the document flow with window
auto-follow and a sticky safe-area composer; the desktop layout is
unchanged.

**Reason and benefit**

The chat view is only convincing if it feels like a conversation with a
working agent. Rich text and screenshots are table stakes for chat
input. Live narration gives moment-to-moment feedback without opening
transcripts. Coalesced history keeps long-running tasks readable. Mobile
support lets operators follow runs away from their desks.

**Breaking changes**

None. Every change is gated behind the existing `enableTaskChatRedesign`
flag, which is off by default. The flag-off page is unchanged.

## What Changed

- `TaskChatComposer` swaps its textarea for the shared `MarkdownEditor`:
markdown formatting, mentions, image paste with object-URL thumbnail
previews (revoked on clear and unmount), and posting on Cmd/Ctrl+Enter.
- Non-image attachments render as chips on a new shared
`ui/attachment.tsx` primitive (adds the `@base-ui/react` dependency it
builds on).
- New `status-whimsy.ts`: deterministic rotation of playful status words
on the live status line.
- Live interstitial narration: the transcript adapter tags agent
self-talk, and the live status line shows it as ephemeral one-line
updates with a ~4s minimum dwell, hold-until-superseded replacement, and
a slide transition driven by new `--motion-line-scroll` tokens
(cataloged in `motion-tokens.ts`, which a test keeps 1:1 with
`index.css`). Hover affordance applies only to the status line, with no
leading icon.
- Settled-turn history: `coalesceSettledTurns` merges back-to-back
settled agent turns into one "Worked" row (summed per-run durations,
tool counts re-derived from the merged turn); `assembleThreadItems`
inserts comment-less settled turns chronologically at run start instead
of appending them at the bottom; settled turns render tool rows only
(the separate thinking block component is removed).
- The "Worked" summary attaches to the reply timestamp row, and thread
timestamps are always visible.
- Mobile layout: the thread renders with `scroll={false}` in the page
scroll, a new `useWindowAutoFollow` hook keeps the window pinned to new
content, the composer is sticky with safe-area padding, and the editor
uses 16px text so iOS does not zoom on focus. The desktop bounded chain
is untouched.
- New `TaskChatDescriptionBubble` renders the issue description as the
first chat bubble, and `McpIcon` gives MCP tools a distinct icon.
- `IssueDetail.test.tsx` stubs `TaskChatThread`: the composer's
`@mdxeditor` dependency cannot load under jsdom's CSSOM, and the suite
exercises the flag-off path.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 CLEAN.
- `node scripts/check-task-chat-motion.mjs` — OK (30 files scanned,
seams present).
- `cd ui && npx tsc -b` — clean.
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run` — 3,482 of 3,483 tests pass locally. The
one failure is the `IssueProperties.test.tsx` monitor-row
time-formatting test, which is timezone-sensitive: it fails identically
on unmodified `origin/master` in a non-UTC timezone and passes with
`TZ=UTC`. It is not related to this change.
- Manual: enable "Chat-Style Tasks" in Settings → Experimental and open
an issue with an assigned agent. Comment to start a run: the status line
rotates status words and shows the agent's narration as short held
updates. After the run, consecutive turns fold into one "Worked" row
under the reply timestamp. Paste an image into the composer to see a
thumbnail chip; attach a non-image file to see a file chip; send with
Cmd+Enter. Open the same issue in a narrow viewport to see the
document-flow layout with the sticky composer.
- Visual snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated: per
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md`, "Per-change snapshot verification
demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)".

## Risks

- The composer now loads the shared MarkdownEditor inside the chat view.
The editor is already used across the app (issue descriptions,
comments), so its behavior is well exercised; composer-specific handling
(paste, attachments, submit keys) is covered by new tests.
- The transcript adapter changes how live narration and settled turns
are derived from run logs. Malformed or legacy logs degrade to generic
rows rather than crashing, and the adapter suites cover the merge and
ordering rules.
- Object URLs for paste previews are revoked on send-clear and unmount
to avoid leaks; jsdom environments without `URL.createObjectURL` are
guarded.
- All changes are behind the default-off `enableTaskChatRedesign` flag.
Overall risk with the flag off is low.

## Model Used

- Claude (Anthropic), model id `claude-fable-5` (Claude Fable 5),
extended thinking enabled, agentic tool use (file editing, shell, test
execution) via Claude Code / Claude Agent SDK.

scotttongandPaperclip 772fa98393 fix(ui): move IssueRow divider and hover wash to the row root (#10702)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Inbox and Tasks screens render issues as a vertical list of
`IssueRow` components
> - A recent refactor split `IssueRow` into a root `div` plus a full-row
overlay `Link`, and the divider and hover styles moved onto that overlay
> - As a result every row shows a bottom border and hover greys the text
instead of tinting the background
> - This pull request moves the divider and hover/selected wash back
onto the root row band and keeps only positioning on the overlay
> - The benefit is the list reads cleanly again: no stray dividers, and
hover tints the background behind the text

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists. Describing the bug in-PR (bug report):

**What happened**

- In the Inbox and Tasks list views, every row shows a 1px bottom
border, including the last row.
- Hovering a row dims/greys the row text instead of showing a background
tint behind the content.

**Expected behavior**

- List rows in Inbox and Tasks show no separator lines by default.
- Hover shows a subtle background tint behind the row content; the text
stays fully legible.
- The blocked inbox view keeps its intentional separators.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open the Inbox or Tasks list view.
2. Note the horizontal border under every row, including the last.
3. Hover a row and note the text greys out rather than the background
tinting.

**Root cause**

- PR #10526 restructured `IssueRow` from a single root `Link` into a
root `div` plus a full-row `absolute inset-0` overlay `Link` (to keep
header controls clickable). The divider and hover/selected/checklist
background classes moved onto the overlay `Link`. `last:border-b-0` no
longer matched (the Link is the first child of a multi-child div), and
the hover wash painted on top of the content instead of behind it.

**Paperclip version/commit**

- Base commit: `8b83d69e3` (branched from current `master`).

**Deployment mode**

- UI (web) list views: Inbox and Tasks.

## What Changed

- `ui/src/components/IssueRow.tsx`: moved the divider classes and the
hover/selected/checklist background wash from the overlay `Link` to the
root row `div`, so the tint paints behind the content and
`last:border-b-0` matches the real last row. The overlay `Link` now
keeps only `absolute inset-0` positioning and the focus ring. Renamed
the `hideDivider` prop to an opt-in `showDivider` (default `false`).
Kept `[&_button]:relative [&_button]:z-10` on the root so the Archive
button stays clickable above the overlay, and kept the `isArchiving`
collapse animation on the root row.
- `ui/src/components/IssuesList.tsx`: dropped the old `hideDivider`
usage (dividers are now opt-in).
- `ui/src/pages/Inbox.tsx`: dropped the old `hideDivider` usage.
- `ui/src/components/BlockedInboxView.tsx`: added `showDivider` so this
view keeps its separators.

## Verification

- `cd ui && npx tsc -b` — typecheck passes with the change.
- Manual (recommended for reviewer): in the Inbox and Tasks list views,
confirm no per-row bottom border and that the last row has none. Because
dark-mode `--border` is 10% white and near-invisible in screenshots,
assert the computed `border-bottom-width` on a row element rather than
eyeballing pixels.
- Hover a row: text stays legible; a background tint appears behind the
content.
- Inbox: the Archive button appears on hover and is clickable (the
overlay does not swallow the click).
- Blocked inbox view: separators still render.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change relocates existing Tailwind classes between two
elements of the same row and renames one internal prop; no data or API
surface changes. All `IssueRow` call sites were updated in this PR
(verified: no remaining `hideDivider` references).

## Model Used

- Claude, Opus 4.8 (`claude-opus-4-8`), extended thinking with tool use.

scotttongandClaude Fable 5 c185e64b77 feat(ui): chat-style task view behind an experimental flag (#10606)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators spend most of their time on the issue detail page. They
talk to the assigned agent there through comments.
> - The current page reads as a ticket form. The thread sits below
properties, the composer sits mid-page, and live agent activity renders
as dense transcript logs.
> - Talking to an agent is a conversation. A chat-first layout matches
that mental model better than a ticket form.
> - A layout change this large must not disrupt current users. It needs
a safe opt-in path and full parity with the existing thread features.
> - This pull request adds a chat-style task view behind a new
"Chat-Style Tasks" experiment toggle. The flag is off by default and the
existing page is unchanged when it is off.
> - The benefit is a focused, readable conversation with the agent: live
tool activity folds into compact summaries, the composer stays at the
bottom, and properties, plan, and artifacts move into header tabs.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #49 (chat with agents is a much-wanted feature).

Related PRs found in the dedup search:
- #4489 — an earlier, closed attempt to promote the conversation to the
primary surface on issue detail. This PR is a fresh, flag-gated take on
the same goal.
- #8837 — an open PR that proposes a two-column task layout. It
restructures the same page but keeps the ticket paradigm; this PR is
orthogonal because it is opt-in and chat-first.

**Subsystem affected**

UI (issue detail page).

**Problem or motivation**

The issue detail page presents agent conversations as a ticket:
properties first, thread below, composer in the middle of the page, and
raw transcript noise during live runs. Users who mainly converse with
their agents must scroll past chrome to follow the conversation, and
live activity is hard to read.

**Proposed solution**

An opt-in chat-style view of the issue detail page, gated by a new
"Chat-Style Tasks" experiment toggle in Settings → Experimental. With
the flag on, the thread fills the center pane, the composer docks to the
bottom of the viewport, Properties / Plan / Artifacts become header
tabs, live turns show a status pill with the current tool action and
elapsed time, and settled turns collapse to a "Worked · N tools" summary
that expands into per-tool rows. With the flag off, nothing changes.

**Alternatives considered**

Restyling the existing layout in place (rejected: too disruptive without
an opt-out), and a separate chat page beside the issue page (rejected:
splits the task's single source of truth). A per-request lab page
(`/task-chat-lab`, dev-only) was kept for design iteration instead.

**Roadmap alignment**

ROADMAP.md "CEO Chat" wants lighter conversations that still resolve to
real work objects. This PR keeps the core task-and-comments model — it
only changes presentation, opt-in — so it does not duplicate that
planned work.

## What Changed

- New `enableTaskChatRedesign` instance setting, exposed as a
"Chat-Style Tasks" experiment card in Settings → Experimental (shared
feature catalog, validators, server instance-settings service, and UI
settings page).
- New `ui/src/components/task-chat/` component family: chat thread with
turn grouping, agent reply bubbles, live status pill, collapsible turn
summaries with per-tool rows, plan tab with a sticky CTA action bar,
inline interaction cards, per-request mode chips, and a bottom-docked
composer.
- A shared tool taxonomy (`tool-taxonomy.ts`) maps tool names to verbs
and icons; the status pill, tool rows, and the classic transcript view
all use it.
- A transcript adapter converts stored run logs into chat turns; it
dedupes tool-call updates by `toolUseId` so tool counts match the
expanded rows, and it keeps a tool row's first real name when later
generic updates arrive.
- Composer: posts on Cmd/Ctrl+Enter, supports image paste with
object-URL thumbnail previews (revoked on clear/unmount), and uploads
through the issue attachments route.
- `IssueDetail.tsx`: with the flag on, pane tabs move to the header bar,
the header is not sticky, and the chat fills the center; with the flag
off, the previous layout renders unchanged.
- Motion tokens for the new animations live in `ui/src/index.css` with a
`motion-tokens.ts` catalog and a test that keeps the two in sync (the
catalog now also covers the shared enter/exit/swap tokens that the
decision/quicklook block declares).
- A dev-only `/task-chat-lab` page with fixtures and a tweak panel for
motion tuning.

## Verification

- `pnpm typecheck` — clean across the workspace.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 CLEAN.
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run` — 3,344 of 3,345 tests pass locally. The
one failure is `IssueProperties.test.tsx` monitor-row time formatting,
which is timezone-sensitive: it also fails on unmodified `origin/master`
in a non-UTC timezone and passes with `TZ=UTC`. It is not related to
this change.
- `cd server && pnpm vitest run
src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts` — 21/21 pass (covers
the new setting).
- Manual: start the dev server, open Settings → Experimental, enable
"Chat-Style Tasks", and open any issue. The thread fills the page, the
composer docks to the bottom, and Properties / Plan / Artifacts appear
as header tabs. Assign an agent and comment to watch a live run: the
status pill shows the current tool action with elapsed time, and the
finished turn folds into a "Worked · N tools" summary. Disable the
toggle and confirm the classic page is unchanged.
- Visual snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated: per
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md`, "Per-change snapshot verification
demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)".

## Risks

- The flag-off path goes through the same `IssueDetail.tsx` file, so a
regression there would affect current users. Mitigation: the classic
markup renders through the same components as before behind explicit
flag conditionals, and the full UI suite passes.
- The transcript adapter interprets stored run-log formats, including
legacy entries without `toolUseId`. Malformed logs degrade to generic
tool rows rather than crashing.
- The new view changes no server behavior other than one additive
instance setting; it is additive and default-off. Overall risk with the
flag off is low.

## Model Used

- Claude (Anthropic), model id `claude-fable-5` (Claude Fable 5),
extended thinking enabled, agentic tool use (file editing, shell, test
execution) via Claude Code / Claude Agent SDK.

scotttongandClaude Fable 5 634ae1298f fix(ui): consolidate live/running blues; stop inbox unread badge indenting the row (#9383)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The web UI leans on a shared design-token + component system so
surfaces stay visually consistent as they grow
> - Two small inconsistencies had crept in: several distinct blues were
used to signal "live/running" agent state across the sidebar, task
header, and chat thread; and in the Inbox an unread task's mark-read dot
was pushing that row's status icon and title one column right of read
rows
> - Both read as "not quite aligned" in daily use and undercut the
polish of the lists work that just landed
> - This pull request consolidates the live/running blues onto one
shared recipe and stops the unread dot from indenting the row
> - The benefit is one consistent "live" blue everywhere and Inbox rows
that line up whether read or unread

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this work; describing inline per the
bug-report template.

- **Problem**: (1) the same concept — an agent actively working —
rendered in three visibly different blues: the sidebar `N live` dot, the
task-detail "Live" badge, and the chat-thread "RUNNING" badge each used
a different token/recipe. (2) In the Inbox, unread rows carry a leading
mark-read dot that occupies the chevron column, but a per-row spacer was
still rendering in that same column — so on unread rows the status icon
+ title were shifted one column (~24px) further right than read rows.
Most visible when grouped by workspace.
- **Steps to reproduce**: open the Inbox with a mix of read and unread
tasks (group by workspace). The unread rows' status icons sit further
right than the read rows'. Separately, compare the blue of the sidebar
`N live` dot, a task's "Live" header badge, and a chat "RUNNING" badge —
they don't match.
- **Expected behavior**: unread and read rows align on the same status
column, with the unread dot centered on the workspace group chevron; and
all three "live/running" affordances share one blue.

## What Changed

- Added a shared `liveBlueBadge` recipe in `ui/src/lib/status-colors.ts`
and pointed the task-detail **Live** badge (`IssueDetail.tsx`) and the
chat-thread **RUNNING** badge (`IssueChatThread.tsx`) at it; removed the
now-redundant `brandChipBadge` usage from the chat thread and a stray
`🔵` breadcrumb prefix.
- Changed the sidebar **`N live`** dot (`SidebarNavItem.tsx`) to the
same `blue-600 / dark:blue-400` as its adjacent label text.
- **Inbox** (`Inbox.tsx`): skip the per-row leading spacer when the
unread mark-read dot is present, so the dot alone fills the chevron
column. Unread rows' status icon + title now sit in the same column as
read rows, and the dot centers on the workspace group chevron.
- **Test** (`Inbox.test.tsx`): added a regression test asserting an
unread leaf row renders the mark-read dot and drops the spacer, while a
read row keeps the spacer.

## Verification

- `pnpm typecheck` — clean (all packages)
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 CLEAN
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run src/pages/Inbox.test.tsx` — 14/14 (includes
the new regression test)
- Full Storybook visual suite (514 stories, both themes) — green locally
(CI cannot run this suite yet — the baseline-manifest archive is
unpublished, a pre-existing condition from #9134)
- Manual (workspace-grouped Inbox, 2× dark): measured the unread badge
center at the same x as the workspace chevron (276 = 276) and the
unread-row status icon at the same x as read-row status icons (292 =
292). Before/after screenshots in a PR comment below.

## Risks

Low risk — presentation only. No data, routing, or state changes. The
blue consolidation is a token/class swap; the Inbox change removes a
redundant spacer element on unread rows only (read rows and
non-grouped/mobile views are unaffected). The unread-row behavior is
covered by the new unit test.

## Model Used

Claude (Anthropic), Opus 4.8 — model id `claude-opus-4-8`; extended
thinking + tool use, driving local verification (typecheck, token gates,
vitest, Playwright visual suite + pixel measurements).

## Thinking Path

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No existing public GitHub issue. Describing the change in-PR
(feature/polish):

**Problem / motivation.** The task status icons in `StatusGlyph` were
bespoke inline SVGs (a half-filled disc for *in progress*, a filled disc
+ knockout check for *done*, ring+bar for *blocked*, ring+slash for
*cancelled*, etc.). The rest of the UI uses [Lucide](https://lucide.dev)
icons, so the status set was the odd one out — and its mixed fill/stroke
shapes were harder to scan and to tweak.

**Proposed solution.** Map each status to a Lucide icon and render that
instead:

| Status | Lucide icon |
| --- | --- |
| backlog | `circle-dashed` |
| todo | `circle` |
| in_progress | `rotate-cw` |
| in_review | `circle-dot` |
| done | `circle-check` |
| blocked | `circle-minus` |
| cancelled | `ban` |
| in_queue (covered-blocked) | `circle-minus`, recoloured blue |

Colours (the `--status-task-icon-*` tokens), the `sm/md/lg` size scale,
`currentColor` recolouring, and the `role="img"` / `aria-label`
behaviour are all unchanged — only the shapes change.

**Alternatives considered.** Keeping the bespoke geometry (rejected:
inconsistent with the app and harder to maintain).

**Related PRs** (linked for reviewer context, not dependencies):
- Refs #8580 — the merged PR that established the current hand-rolled
status glyphs this PR restyles.
- Refs #8838 — open PR forwarding Radix trigger props through
`StatusGlyph`; touches the same component (no overlap with this change).
- Refs #1760 — open proposal to redesign the *cancelled* status icon
specifically; this PR moves cancelled to Lucide `ban`.

## What Changed

- `ui/src/components/StatusGlyph.tsx`: replaced the per-status
hand-rolled SVG `glyphBody()` geometry with a `status → Lucide icon` map
(`circle-dashed`, `circle`, `rotate-cw`, `circle-dot`, `circle-check`,
`circle-minus`, `ban`). Kept the token-driven colour wiring, size scale,
`currentColor` recolouring, a11y label handling, and the `in_queue` =
blocked-icon-recoloured-blue behaviour.
- `ui/src/components/StatusGlyph.test.tsx`: updated to lock the new icon
mapping (per-status Lucide class, size scale, colour var, `in_queue`,
a11y) instead of the old geometry.

Net: two files, +74 / −138 (the component got smaller). Because every
status surface (list, board, detail header, status picker,
sub-task/blocked-by pills, chips) routes through `StatusGlyph`, this
single-component edit covers them all.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` → **3/3 clean** (no hardcoded
colour/spacing/font values introduced).
- `pnpm typecheck` → clean across all packages.
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run` → **2509/2509 passing**, including the
updated `StatusGlyph` test.
- Manual: ran the worktree dev server and confirmed the new icons render
everywhere (task list, task detail, related-task chips, and the status
picker showing all seven).

**Storybook visual-regression note:** this is an intentional visual
change, so the status-icon stories will diff against the published
baseline. The baseline snapshots need to be regenerated and republished
by a maintainer (`pnpm test:storybook-visual:update` from a trusted
environment) as part of accepting this change — the visual-regression CI
check is expected to be red until then. No baseline is published in the
environment this PR was authored in, so that step is left to a
maintainer.

## Risks

- **Low risk / cosmetic.** No logic, data, or API changes — only the
rendered icon shapes. Colours, sizes, and accessibility labels are
unchanged.
- The most noticeable shifts are *in progress* (half-disc → rotating
arrow), *done* (solid disc+check → outline circle+check), and
*cancelled* (ring+slash → ban). These are deliberate.
- The only CI check expected to fail is the Storybook visual-regression
job, pending a maintainer baseline update (see Verification).

scotttongandClaude Fable 5 53d09d4c34 fix(ui): inbox/task list parity, nesting alignment, hover perf, and routine detail polish (#9317)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip's UI is governed by the design system merged in #9134 and
the component convergence in #9240 — one Card, one Badge, one nav row,
one `IssueRow`, a single multiplicative radius ladder.
> - With those primitives in place, the remaining rough edges were
interaction and alignment details on the surfaces people use every day:
the inbox, the task list, the sidebar, and the routine/task detail
pages.
> - Each item here was reported from live use and fixed against a
running instance, then verified by measurement (pixel alignment, frame
timing) rather than by eye alone.
> - The result is that the inbox and task lists now behave as one system
(same hover, keyboard nav, tree-guide, and archive language), list
nesting reads correctly, list hover is smooth, and the routine detail
page scrolls and aligns like the rest of the app.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this work; describing per the feature
template.

- **Problem**: after the design-system foundation (#9134) and component
convergence (#9240), the inbox/task lists still had interaction and
alignment gaps — hover lag on long lists, keyboard navigation that only
partly matched between the two lists, workspace/parent nesting whose
guides and chevrons didn't line up, an inbox that sat offset from the
task list, and a routine detail page with an odd double-scroll and a
bespoke sub-nav.
- **Proposed behavior**: the inbox and task lists share one interaction
contract (hover, keyboard nav, collapse, archive), list nesting aligns
to the status column with clean chevrons, list hover is CSS-only (no
per-hover re-render), and the routine detail page uses a fixed
header/sub-nav with a single scrolling content region and a sub-nav that
matches the primary nav.

## What Changed

- **List hover performance**: hover is now painted purely by CSS
`:hover` and records the hovered row in a ref, instead of writing
list-selection state on every `mouseenter` (which re-rendered 100–300
non-memoized rows per hover). Keyboard nav reads the ref so it still
continues from the hovered row; the keyboard band clears on the first
real mouse move so hover and keyboard selection never show two bands at
once. The row's `transition-colors` fade was removed so the highlight
snaps (no comet-tail). Measured on a 100-row scrub: worst frame **333 ms
→ 33 ms**, long frames (>50 ms) **12 → 0**, avg **41 → 60 fps**.
- **Inbox ↔ task-list parity**: keyboard navigation works on every inbox
tab (archive/read keys stay scoped to the archivable tab); group headers
and parent tasks collapse/expand with the arrow keys in both lists; the
task list gains the same j/k / arrows / Enter selection model as the
inbox; hover selection bands match; the `g` then `i` go-to-inbox chord
works app-wide.
- **List nesting & alignment**: the workspace group-header chevron lines
up exactly with the task chevrons below it (both lists); the
parent→child connector line drops from under the parent's **status
icon** rather than its chevron and breaks with a 14px gap around a
nested row's own chevron; and inbox rows line up with the task list
(read rows no longer reserve a mark-read column).
- **Inbox archive affordance**: moved from a bare `x` left of the status
icon to an `Archive` icon + label button on the right (before the
timestamp), revealed on row hover; the left slot now carries only the
unread dot; swipe-to-archive is unchanged.
- **Sidebar**: when no agent has a live run, the AGENTS section shows 3
recent agents (was 5) plus "See all agents"; the working-agents view is
unchanged.
- **Routine detail page**: the layout is bounded to the main scroll area
so the header (Run now + automation toggle) and the sub-nav stay fixed
and only the section content scrolls (was a page-level scroll competing
with a `sticky` sub-nav). The sub-nav items adopt the primary nav's
rhythm — row padding/height, inset rounded pill, type scale, and 16px
icons — and its background matches the main nav.
- **Task detail**: dropped the redundant `🔵` prefix the breadcrumb added
for live/in-progress tasks; the status glyph already conveys that state.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` → 3/3 CLEAN
- `pnpm typecheck` → green (all packages)
- `cd ui && npx vitest run` → 2255/2255 (assertions updated in lockstep
where behavior changed)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` → exit 0
- Storybook visual regression: run locally throughout (the
baseline-manifest archive is still unpublished, so CI cannot run this
suite — pre-existing condition from #9134). Every visible delta was
reviewed against a live instance and, where it was intentional (nesting
alignment, routine sub-nav restyle, unread-row shift), the affected
snapshots were re-baselined locally.
- Manual/measured: inbox + task lists (grouped and nested, light +
dark), hover-scrub frame timing, keyboard navigation, and the routine
detail scroll/alignment were exercised on a running instance.

## Risks

- Behavior-and-alignment changes concentrated in `IssueRow` /
`IssuesList` / `Inbox` (the shared task-row surfaces). The riskiest area
— the hover/keyboard-selection model — is covered by unit tests (updated
in lockstep) and was measured and driven live.
- The routine detail scroll change restructures that page's layout
container; verified the page's own scroll stays fixed while only the
section content scrolls.
- The visual suite cannot yet run in CI (unpublished baseline archive —
pre-existing); snapshot coverage is local-only until that lands.

## Model Used

- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`, Anthropic) via Claude Code — agentic
coding with tool use (file editing, test execution, Playwright
measurement/screenshot verification); extended thinking enabled.

scotttongandClaude Fable 5 c90e66bdd6 feat(ui): design-system component convergence — Card/Badge adoption, multiplicative radius ladder, unified list surfaces (#9240)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Its UI is governed by a design system (`DESIGN.md` + the token layer
in `ui/src/index.css`, merged in #9134) whose first principle is "one
way to say each thing" — one Card, one Badge, one nav row
> - After the token extraction landed, ~35 files still hand-rolled card
containers, ~45 files hand-rolled pill spans, the sidebar agents section
duplicated the nav-row chrome, and the inbox and tasks lists rendered
the same task rows two subtly different ways
> - Each divergence is a place where a future design change (radius,
hover language, status vocabulary) silently misses surfaces, defeating
the "edit tokens + run checks" model the design system exists for
> - This pull request converges those surfaces onto the shared
primitives, codifies the radius scale as the modern multiplicative
shadcn ladder, and unifies the row/hover/tree-guide language across the
inbox and tasks lists — every visible delta was human-reviewed
screen-by-screen against a live instance across nine feedback rounds
> - The benefit is that the app's look is now steerable from single
knobs (one `--radius` anchor, one Card, one Badge, one row component),
and the visual regression suite covers the result (514 snapshots
including a new AgentDetail page story)

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this work; describing per the feature
template:

- **Problem**: after the design-token foundation (#9134),
component-level drift remained — hand-rolled cards/pills, duplicated
sidebar row chrome, and two different renderings of task rows (inbox vs
tasks list) meant design changes had to be applied per-surface and
frequently missed spots (e.g. status glyphs rendered 16px in the inbox
but 20px in the tasks list because a slot override silently beat the
component default).
- **Proposed behavior**: all card-shaped containers render via `Card`,
all label pills via `Badge`, sidebar rows via `SidebarNavItem`, and both
task-list surfaces via one `IssueRow` configuration; the radius scale is
a single multiplicative ladder anchored at `--radius: 0.5rem`.
- **Alternatives considered**: converting interactive
`<button>`/`<Link>` cards to `Card` divs (rejected — breaks semantics;
documented inline with `design-allow` comments instead); keeping the
legacy additive radius ladder (rejected in favor of the standard shadcn
multiplicative mapping).

## What Changed

- `Card` adoption across ~35 files (settings pages, auth/board flows,
dashboards, list containers, KPI tiles); non-adoptable sites
(interactive cards, `<li>` rows, class-string props, chart tooltip)
carry documented `design-allow(card-pattern)` comments
- `Card` gains an `interactive` prop — one quiet hover affordance for
clickable cards (cursor, border darken, shadow lift, focus ring),
applied to skills tiles, artifact cards, and the company selector; cards
carry no resting shadow
- `Badge` adoption for 113 hand-rolled pill spans across ~45 files;
`PropertyChip` wraps `Badge` internally; `StatusBadge`, external-object
chips, and match chips stay bespoke by documented decision (WCAG-tuned
status mechanics)
- Radius ladder becomes the multiplicative shadcn mapping
(`sm/md/lg/xl/2xl/3xl/4xl = 0.6/0.8/1.0/1.4/1.8/2.2/2.6 × --radius`,
anchor `0.5rem`); every card surface unifies on `rounded-lg`; the
orphaned 8px literal token is deleted
- Sidebar: agent rows render via `SidebarNavItem` (new additive props:
`iconNode`, `active`, `trailing`, `liveAccessory`); live dots use
`--status-agent-running`; one row rhythm and inset rounded pill
highlight; right-aligned trailing badges; every labeled section is
collapsible
- Inbox + tasks lists unified: md status glyphs, `accent/50` rounded row
hovers, vertical tree guides under parent rows (opaque underlay so
dark-mode translucent borders don't stack), no horizontal dividers under
expanded parents; the swipe-to-archive reveal layer shows only
mid-swipe; board toggle uses the `SquareKanban` glyph
- Kanban: every column carries a status-hued tint; lanes default
expanded (including empty); compact mode collapses empty lanes to
labeled rails (fixes a clipped, label-less empty-column state)
- Storybook: new AgentDetail page story (realistic fixtures, light+dark)
joins the visual suite; suite captures with `reducedMotion: 'reduce'`
and the ux-lab reasoning ticker honors `prefers-reduced-motion`; a stale
lexical alias in `storybook/main.ts` is fixed (build was broken since
the lexical 0.46 bump)
- Keyboard navigation, from live review of the unified lists: inbox
navigation keys work on every tab (archive keys stay scoped to the
archivable tab); keyboard-driven scrolling no longer hands the selection
to whatever row lands under the stationary cursor (hover selects only
after real pointer movement); the tasks list view gains the same j/k /
arrows / Enter selection model as the inbox; and the `g` then `i`
go-to-inbox chord works app-wide instead of only on the issue detail
page
- Token gates restored to 3/3 CLEAN (tokenized a post-#9134 regression
in the recovery card); decisions recorded in
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md` and `doc/design/COMPONENT-INVENTORY.md`
(investigation verdicts: FileTree vs WorkspaceFileBrowser and the four
entity pickers stay separate — evidence included)

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` → 3/3 CLEAN
- `pnpm typecheck` → green (all packages)
- `cd ui && npx vitest run` → 2106/2106 (assertions updated in lockstep
where they documented superseded decisions; new tests for the global
go-to-inbox chord)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` → exit 0
- `pnpm build-storybook` → succeeds (also fixes the lexical-alias break
on master)
- Visual regression: 514-snapshot Playwright suite green against the
updated baseline (zero diffs from the keyboard-navigation round — those
changes are purely behavioral). Note: baselines live outside git per the
suite design and the baseline-manifest archive is not yet published, so
CI cannot run this suite — it was run locally throughout; every visible
delta was reviewed screen-by-screen in a live instance across nine
review rounds. Review evidence (before/after triplets) intentionally
kept out of the repo for size; available on request.
- Manual: exercised dashboard, tasks (list + board), inbox, agents,
skills, costs, settings, and artifact surfaces in light and dark themes

## Risks

- Wide but shallow visual surface: most changes are class-string
substitutions with behavior preserved (props, handlers, roles, test
ids). The riskiest areas — dnd-kit card refs (React 19 ref-as-prop),
inbox swipe-to-archive, and sidebar overlays — are covered by existing
unit tests (all green) and were manually exercised.
- Intentional visual deltas (rounded cards, tinted kanban columns, md
status glyphs, unified hovers) are design decisions recorded in
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md`; each maps to a re-baselined snapshot set
locally.
- The visual suite cannot yet run in CI (unpublished baseline archive —
pre-existing condition from #9134); until that lands, snapshot coverage
is local-only.

## Model Used

- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`, Anthropic) via Claude Code — agentic
coding with tool use (file editing, test execution, Playwright
screenshot verification); extended thinking enabled.

c07e650cd7 feat(ui): single-source design tokens, visual regression suite, and theme retune (#9134)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Its UI is the operator's daily surface: task lists, boards, budgets,
agent status — all built on shadcn components and Tailwind
> - Visual values (colors, spacing, type sizes, radii) were hardcoded at
~1,600 call sites: the same "small gray label" was 9/10/11px depending
on the file, charts disagreed with chips about status colors, two
toggle-switch implementations coexisted in two greens, and there was no
visual regression coverage
> - This made the UI drift-prone and made any restyle a
hundreds-of-files project, which discourages design iteration
> - This pull request extracts visual values into a single token layer
in `ui/src/index.css`, adds a Storybook visual regression suite backed
by external immutable baseline archives, and then applies a deliberate
retune reviewed change-by-change on screenshot diffs
> - The benefit is that Paperclip's look becomes a config surface:
retheming is a token edit reviewed as a snapshot diff, drift is blocked
by a token gate, and future UI PRs can prove exactly what changed
visually without committing hundreds of PNGs

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No existing public issue covers this work (searched "design tokens",
"visual regression", "design system" across issues and PRs). Related in
spirit: Refs #8982 (theming a hardcoded panel — a one-off instance of
the same problem class this PR addresses systematically).

**Problem (feature-request form):** UI visual values are hardcoded per
call site with no source of truth and no regression coverage;
consistency depends on reviewer memory, and restyling requires mass file
edits.
**Proposed solution (this PR):** a single token layer + enforcement gate
+ externally stored visual snapshot suite, then an intentional restyle
on top of that foundation.

## What Changed

- **Token extraction (zero visual change, machine-verified during
development):** committed codemods (`scripts/codemod-*.mjs`) moved
~1,600 hardcoded color/type/spacing/radius/shadow/misc values into named
tokens in a non-inline `:root` block of `ui/src/index.css`.
- **Visual regression suite:** `pnpm test:storybook-visual` covers 255
stories × light/dark = 510 Playwright screenshots at `maxDiffPixels: 0`,
plus new primitive-coverage stories and deterministic-render fixes.
- **External visual baselines:** committed PNG snapshots were removed.
`tests/storybook-visual/baseline-manifest.json` pins an immutable
archive URL/hash/size/count, and `scripts/storybook-visual-baseline.mjs`
handles `download`, `verify`, `pack`, and trusted maintainer `upload`
flows.
- **Opt-in visual CI artifacts:** added a `Storybook Visual` workflow
that runs on manual dispatch or PRs labeled `storybook-visual`,
downloads/verifies the baseline, runs Playwright, and uploads Playwright
report/test-result artifacts for review. Normal PR runs do not mutate
baseline objects.
- **Token gate:** `pnpm check:token-gates` — zero hex literals, zero
arbitrary bracket values, zero raw font-sizes in `ui/src/components/**`
and `ui/src/pages/**`, with a documented inline allowlist for legitimate
opt-outs.
- **Theme retune (intentional, snapshot-reviewed):** new base theme
values; radius ladder derived from a single `--radius` knob; micro-type
cluster collapsed to a named ladder (`--text-nano/micro/compact` +
Tailwind `text-xs`/`text-sm`); letter-spacing collapsed to named steps.
- **One status-color vocabulary:** charts, quota/budget bar fills,
RUNNING/live chips, and liveness indicators all use the canonical
`--status-*` hues. Light-mode legibility fixes for red alert surfaces
that used dark-tuned text classes.
- **One switch:** `ToggleSwitch` restyled to the registry capsule form,
second hand-rolled implementation removed, and all call sites unified.
- **Docs:** `DESIGN.md` is the design contract; `doc/design/` holds
audit reports, decision logs, and updated guidance for external baseline
review/update workflows.
- Dead code removed (`agentStatusBadge` duplicate map), byte-identical
contrast constants consolidated, semantic renames
(`--project-seed`/`--project-none`, `--liveness-blue`).

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 gates CLEAN during the design-system
run
- `pnpm typecheck` && `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` — green
during the design-system run
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/storybook-visual-baseline.test.mjs` —
pass after external-baseline rework
- `pnpm exec tsc --noEmit --pretty false --module NodeNext
--moduleResolution NodeNext --target ES2022 --types
node,@playwright/test tests/storybook-visual/playwright.config.ts
tests/storybook-visual/storybook-visual.spec.ts` — pass after
external-baseline rework
- `git diff --check origin/pr/9134..HEAD` — pass after external-baseline
rework
- `find tests/storybook-visual -type f -name '*.png' -print | wc -l` —
`0`
- `node scripts/storybook-visual-baseline.mjs verify` — intentionally
fails closed until the first trusted maintainer publishes the baseline
archive and updates `baseline-manifest.json`

## Risks

- **Large but shallow:** the PR still touches many UI files due to
mechanical token extraction and retune work, but committed PNG snapshot
churn has been removed from the branch.
- **Baseline publication required before the visual suite can pass in
clean clones:** the manifest currently has placeholder archive metadata.
A trusted maintainer must publish the first immutable archive, then
update `baseline-manifest.json`.
- **Rendering platform variance:** the external baseline should be
captured in the documented Linux/Chromium environment. Future CI runs
verify against the pinned archive and fail closed on checksum/count
mismatch.
- **Visual CI is opt-in while stabilizing:** add the `storybook-visual`
label or dispatch the workflow manually to produce downloadable
Playwright report/test-result artifacts.
- **Scheduled follow-ups, deliberately out of scope:** Tailwind palette
classes map to semantic tokens in a dedicated pass; card/pill component
consolidation; ESLint ratchet. Tracked in
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md`.

## Model Used

Claude Fable 5 (Anthropic, `claude-fable-5`, Mythos-class tier) with
extended thinking, running in Claude Code with tool use; mechanical
phases delegated to Claude Sonnet subagents. Follow-up external-baseline
rework assisted by OpenAI Codex (`gpt-5` coding agent with repository,
terminal, and GitHub tool use). All bulk rewrites executed via
deterministic, idempotent scripts committed in `scripts/`; intentional
visual changes were human-reviewed on screenshot contact sheets.

scotttongandClaude Opus 4.8 fb2b760915 fix(issues): attribute agent-authored comments instead of rendering them as "Board" (#8833)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Task/issue threads render each comment as a chat bubble; the author
determines whether it shows as a left-aligned agent bubble (name + icon)
or a right-aligned "Board" bubble
> - Comments posted by an agent from a local execution environment are
written with a non-human author id (`local-board`/system), so they were
mis-rendered as blue "Board" bubbles instead of being attributed to the
authoring agent
> - This misattribution is confusing (it looks like the human board said
something an agent actually said) and it can drive false
wake/reconciliation behavior on the affected threads
> - This pull request adds server-side attribution derivation (lossless
run-id join first, then an explicit run-log post marker), persists the
derived agent so the read path stops re-scanning run logs, and stops the
client from labeling agent-derived comments "Board"
> - The benefit is agent comments render as the correct agent, genuine
human board comments are never reattributed, and reads get cheaper after
a one-time persistence

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

<!-- No public GitHub issue — describing the problem in-PR (bug report
shape). -->

**What happened?**

In a task/issue comment thread, comments authored by an agent from a
local execution environment are stored with a non-human author id
(`local-board`/system). The UI renders these as right-aligned blue
"Board" bubbles, implying a human board member authored them. The
mislabeling is also a wake/reconciliation hazard: an agent comment that
reads as "Board" can look like human board input.

**Expected behavior**

Such comments should render as the authoring agent (left-aligned bubble
with agent name + icon). Genuine human/board comments must continue to
render as "Board" and must never be reattributed to an agent.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Have an agent post a comment on an issue from a local execution
environment (author id `local-board`).
2. Open the issue comment thread in the UI.
3. Observe the agent's comment rendered as a right-aligned blue "Board"
bubble instead of the authoring agent.

**Root cause**

The read path did not resolve the authoring agent for these comments,
and the client fell back to a "Board" label for the `local-board`
author.

## What Changed

- **Server derivation (`server/src/services/issues.ts`):**
- Resolve the authoring agent from the comment's run id first
(`createdByRunId`/`derivedCreatedByRunId` → `heartbeatRuns.agentId`) —
lossless when present.
- Second tier `run_log_comment_post`: read the run log lazily (only for
still-unresolved comments) to match the explicit `comment id:` post
marker.
- **Guard:** never reattribute a comment whose author maps to a genuine
user profile. Only the non-human sentinel (`local-board`, which is
itself a `user` row) and authors absent from the `user` table are
eligible.
- Pure timing-overlap tiers are intentionally **not** used (Option A) —
an agent comment and a human board comment posted during the same run
are indistinguishable rows, so any timing guess risks mislabeling a real
human comment.
- **Persistence
(`packages/db/src/migrations/0126_issue_comment_derived_attribution.sql`,
`packages/db/src/schema/issue_comments.ts`):** add stored `derived_*`
attribution columns and write the resolved agent back with a single bulk
`UPDATE ... FROM (VALUES ...)`, so reads stop recomputing from run logs.
Migration is additive (new nullable columns) with a batched, idempotent
backfill of the lossless run-id tier over historical rows.
- **Types (`packages/shared/src/types/issue.ts`):** expose the persisted
attribution fields and the `IssueCommentDerivedAuthorSource` union.
- **Client (`ui/src/lib/issue-chat-messages.test.ts`):** the message
builder already prefers a resolved agent id (`authorAgentId ??
runAgentId ?? derivedAuthorAgentId`), so once the server persists the
derived agent the bubble renders as the agent automatically — no client
code change needed. Adds a regression guard confirming a genuine board
comment with no derived agent is still rendered as "Board".
- **Tests:** derivation + message-building tests, including assertions
that genuine board/user comments are **not** reattributed.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run issues-service` — 94 tests pass: run-id
resolution, no-attribution on timing overlap alone (Option A), multi-run
ambiguity, same-agent multi-run, and the genuine-user guard. Exercises
the real persistence path (bulk UPDATE) against the test DB.
- `cd ui && npx vitest run issue-chat-messages` — 27 tests pass; client
no longer labels agent-derived comments "Board", and a genuine board
comment with no derived agent is not re-labeled.
- `cd server && npm run typecheck` — passes (exit 0).
- Manual: on a thread containing old agent-authored comments, the blue
"Board" bubbles render as the authoring agent; a genuine board comment
on the same thread still renders as "Board".

## Risks

- **Mis-reattributing a genuine board comment made during an agent run**
→ mitigated by the human-profile guard (only `local-board`/system
authors are eligible) and by dropping pure timing tiers (Option A): only
the lossless run-id join and the explicit run-log post marker attribute
history.
- **Backfill volume / run-log reads** → the migration backfill is
batched (5000 rows/loop) and results are persisted so reads stop
recomputing; the read-path persistence is a single bulk UPDATE rather
than per-comment round-trips. Migration adds only nullable columns (no
destructive change).
- The persistence/backfill has **not** been run against any production
database as part of opening this PR.

scotttongandPaperclip ef6061a5e6 feat: project typeahead in ⌘K command palette (#8773)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The ⌘K command palette is the primary fast-navigation surface across
tasks and projects
> - When searching, projects were ranked below tasks, so typing a
project name (e.g. "Paperclip") surfaced tasks first and buried matching
projects — often only one project was visible even when several matched
> - Users expect name-matching projects to appear at the top, like other
quick-switchers
> - This pull request promotes matching projects above tasks in the
palette (with a sensible cap) and ensures the project name is always
visible in the row
> - The benefit is faster, more predictable project navigation from ⌘K

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this, so the underlying problem is
described inline below following the [feature request
template](.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.yml).

**Subsystem affected**

UI — the ⌘K command palette (`ui/src/components/CommandPalette.tsx`).

**Problem or motivation**

When typing in the ⌘K palette, projects were ranked *below* tasks. A
query matching several projects (e.g. "paperclip") surfaced mostly tasks
above the fold and pushed matching projects to the bottom of the list,
so often only one — or zero — matching projects were visible. Users
expect name-matching projects to appear at the top, the way other
quick-switchers behave.

**Proposed solution**

Compute matching projects from the typed query client-side (exact >
prefix > substring > description > fuzzy-subsequence ranking), promote
them into a dedicated "Projects" group above the Tasks group, and cap
both groups so neither crowds the other out. Keep the project name
always visible in each row.

**Alternatives considered**

A dedicated "Projects" search mode/scope toggle — rejected as heavier
and more UI for what is really a ranking problem. A backend
search-ranking change — unnecessary since the project list is already
loaded client-side.

**Roadmap alignment**

Small, self-contained UX improvement to an existing surface; not
roadmap-level core feature work.

## What Changed

- Added a `scoreProjectMatch` + `matchedProjects` memo in
`CommandPalette` that ranks already-loaded projects against the typed
query (exact > prefix > substring > description > fuzzy subsequence,
capped at 5).
- Promoted the matched "Projects" group above the Tasks group, and
reduced the task cap from 10 → 6 when projects are promoted so neither
group crowds the other out. Empty-query preview order is unchanged.
- Fixed the project-name span so the name stays visible in the typeahead
row (the name was being starved to 0px width by a flexible description
span).

## Verification

- `cd ui && npx vitest run CommandPalette` — added test seeds
react-query project data and asserts matching projects are promoted to
the top of the palette, non-matching projects are excluded, and
selecting a promoted project navigates correctly (6/6 passing).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passes.
- Manual (screenshots below): open ⌘K, type "paperclip"; matching
projects appear at the top with names visible.

**Before** — typing "paperclip" surfaces Tasks first; matching projects
are buried below the fold:

![before](https://azure-ponder-ry48.here.now/before.png)

**After** — matching projects are promoted into a "Projects" group above
Tasks, names visible:

![after](https://azure-ponder-ry48.here.now/after.png)

## Risks

Low risk. UI-only change scoped to the command palette; no backend or
data changes. Worst case is palette ordering for project-name queries.
Ranking is pure and unit-tested; the prefix-score length penalty is
clamped so the prefix > substring > description > fuzzy invariant holds
even for pathologically long project names.

bac15ebd09 feat: task status icons & colors (#8580)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work, and task status is one of the most-scanned signals across its
whole UI.
> - The Tasks UI shows status through small coloured ring icons and
chips spread across the list, kanban, task detail, the properties
flyout, inline `@`-mentions and the breadcrumb.
> - Those ring glyphs lean heavily on colour to distinguish states,
which is hard to read for colour-blind users, and the status hues were
hard-coded in component classes rather than a single source.
> - We want color-blind-safe, distinct *shapes* per status plus a single
`--status-*` colour-token system the chips and icons share.
> - This pull request adds a unified `StatusGlyph` (one shape per
status) and the `--status-*` colour-token system, and adopts them across
every task-status surface so the new glyphs + colours render by default.
> - The benefit is a more accessible, consistent status language with
one source of truth for status hues.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

This is a **feature** (no public issue filed). Following the feature
issue template:

- **Problem / motivation:** Task status is communicated mostly by colour
(ring fills/borders), which is hard to distinguish for colour-blind
users, and the status hues are duplicated across component classes with
no single source of truth. Several community PRs have nibbled at parts
of this (see related PRs below).
- **Proposed solution:** A single `StatusGlyph` component with a
distinct *shape* per status (not just colour), backed by a `--status-*`
CSS-variable colour system (base hues + AA-tuned icon hues +
`.status-chip` / `.status-fill` color-mix helpers), adopted across all
task-status surfaces.
- **Alternatives considered:** Recolouring the existing rings in place
(rejected — still colour-only, no shape differentiation).
- **Roadmap alignment:** Additive UI only; no overlap with planned core
work.

Related community PRs (partial / different approaches to the same area —
not duplicates):

- Refs #3806 — Show issue ref and status icon in breadcrumbs and
properties
- Refs #1760 — Improve design of cancelled task status icon
- Refs #1856 — a11y title/aria-label on status and priority icons

## What Changed

- **Colour token system:** `--status-agent-*` / `--status-task-*` base
hues, AA-tuned `--status-task-icon-*` hues (light + dark), and
`.status-chip` / `.status-fill` color-mix helpers in `index.css`;
matching status→CSS-var maps in `status-colors.ts`.
- **`StatusGlyph`** — one `viewBox="0 0 24 24"` glyph per status with
distinct, color-blind-safe shapes (dashed ring, open ring, half-fill,
ring+dot, disc+check, ring+bar, ring+slash, and `in_queue` = the blocked
shape recoloured blue). Sizes `sm`/`md`/`lg`.
- **Adoption (renders by default)** across `StatusIcon`, `StatusBadge`
(agent + issue chips), `MarkdownBody` inline mentions, `IssueRow`,
`IssuesList`, `IssueProperties`, `BreadcrumbBar` + `BreadcrumbContext`,
and the task-detail header/breadcrumb.
- **Tests** for `StatusGlyph`, `StatusIcon`, `StatusBadge`, `IssueRow`,
`IssuesList`, `MarkdownBody` lock the rendered behaviour.

Scope notes: no experimental flag and no Theme Editor surfaces. The
generic `StatusBadge` (runs/goals/approvals) is unchanged.
Project-status recolour is deferred (no in-scope consumer).

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared build` — green (tsc).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` — green (tsc + vite).
- Targeted unit tests green: `StatusGlyph`, `StatusIcon`, `StatusBadge`,
`IssueRow`, `IssuesList`, `MarkdownBody`, plus consumer suites that
render these (`IssueProperties`, `IssueDetail`, `Search`,
`IssueChatThread`, `IssueFiltersPopover`, `InterruptHandoffViews`) — all
passing.
- Remaining: interactive light + dark visual confirmation across list /
kanban / detail / properties / inline mentions / breadcrumb. The glyph
shapes + AA-tuned hues were previously QA'd on the originating feature
branch.

## Risks

Low risk. Additive UI: a new component + CSS tokens, adopted at existing
status call sites. The generic `StatusBadge` and all non-status UI are
untouched; no schema/migration changes. Behaviour is exercised by unit +
consumer test suites.

## Model Used

Claude Opus 4.8 (`claude-opus-4-8`), extended thinking, with tool use /
code execution (file edits, local builds + vitest).

6f9801a46b feat(ui): NUX rework behind enableConferenceRoomChat experimental flag — capsule onboarding, conference-room chat, unified composer (#8000)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The first-run experience (onboarding wizard) and the chat surfaces
(conference-room/board chat, task threads, composers) are the product's
front door — they decide whether a new operator understands "hire
agents, give them work, review results" in the first five minutes
> - Today those surfaces feel ticket-y and form-like: the wizard is a
static multi-step form that ends in an anticlimactic "Launch" screen,
the task composer and board chat behave differently from each other, and
agent-feed issue quicklooks misbehave (multiple flyouts open at once,
cards jump on hover)
> - We wanted to iterate toward a conversational, team-centric NUX — but
without risking the workflows of everyone already running Paperclip
> - This PR reworks the NUX behind a new default-OFF
`enableConferenceRoomChat` experimental flag: a capsule-motif onboarding
wizard that builds your team as you answer, a conference-room chat
surface, one shared ChatComposer across surfaces, brand-accurate status
chips, and feed-quicklook fixes — with the pre-existing UI
fork-and-frozen as `*Classic` components that flag-OFF users keep
> - The benefit is a complete, testable modern NUX that anyone can opt
into from Settings → Experimental, with zero default behavior change and
a clean path to either graduate or drop the experiment

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No pre-existing GitHub issue — feature description per
`feature_request.yml`:

- **Problem / motivation:** Paperclip's onboarding wizard and chat
surfaces grew up as separate ticket-centric forms. New users get a
form-filling experience rather than the feeling of standing up a team;
the board chat and task threads use different composers with different
affordances; the agent feed's issue quicklook can stack multiple
popovers and shifts cards on hover.
- **Proposed solution:** A coherent NUX experiment behind one
experimental flag (`enableConferenceRoomChat`, Settings → Experimental,
default OFF): capsule onboarding wizard with an evolving team capsule,
conference-room chat, unified `ChatComposer`, team-centric copy, brand
status chips, quicklook single-flight fix. Flag-OFF users get the exact
pre-experiment UI via frozen `*Classic` forks, verified by an on/off
parity test matrix.
- **Alternatives considered:** (a) incremental unflagged restyling —
rejected: the changes interlock across surfaces and would drip risk into
every release; (b) a separate app shell / route for the new NUX —
rejected: too much divergence, the flag + classic-fork pattern keeps the
diff reviewable and reversible.
- **Roadmap alignment:** `ROADMAP.md` lists **CEO Chat** ("a
lighter-weight way to talk to leadership agents... should still resolve
to real work objects"). This experiment is groundwork in that direction
(conference-room chat resolves to issues/tasks via the same composer
used in task threads) and does not change the core task-and-comments
model.

Related PRs found in the dedup search (same area, none duplicate this
work — they target the classic wizard, which this PR intentionally
leaves intact and mergeable):

- #5385 — Coach-driven onboarding: conversational entry +
agent-companies package import
- #5378 — Onboarding wizard: reusable adapter picker + probe card
- #6636 — ui(onboarding): friendly error surface + retry for the wizard
- #7005 — fix(onboarding): explicitly await first-task wake
- #2616 — fix: restore workspace directory config in onboarding wizard

## What Changed

- **Experimental flag plumbing** — `enableConferenceRoomChat` in shared
types/validators, server instance-settings service + API, Settings →
Experimental card with explicit enable/disable copy
- **Onboarding wizard** — classic wizard forked and frozen
(`OnboardingWizardClassic`); flag-ON variant is a 5-step capsule wizard
with a persistent evolving `AgentCapsule` (gradient/glow motif),
team-centric reframed copy, and a typing-dots intro (hardened with
fake-timer tests)
- **Conference-room chat** — flag-ON board-chat surface with agent
bubble name/icon headers and copy/vote/timestamp action rows
(`AgentBubbleActionRow`)
- **Unified composer** — shared `ChatComposer` adopted across surfaces;
translucent surface + scroll-mask removal; "Agent mode"/"Plan mode"
relabels; no-assignee confirmation `AlertDialog` (new
`ui/alert-dialog.tsx` primitive); `@task` reference picker +
linkification in mentions
- **Agent feed** — single-flight issue-quicklook store (one popover at a
time), flyouts open to the left, removed hover translate-y jitter
- **Status chips** — brand-accurate task status chips behind the flag
(light/dark, 1px borders per paperclip.ing/brand)
- **Tests** — flag on/off parity matrix across IssueDetail,
NewIssueDialog, Sidebar, wizard, gate components; component tests for
all new pieces
- **Merge with `master`** — one conflict in
`ui/src/components/IssueChatThread.tsx`, resolved by keeping master's
new `AssigneeChip`/`HandoffWakeRow`/`RunStatusBadge` components inside
the flag-gated metadata-row chrome (details in commit `21a5642a`);
post-merge fixes: vitest 4 mock typing in `MarkdownEditor.test.tsx`,
flag hook made safe for provider-less mounts (master's new isolated
component tests)
- **Branch hygiene** — internal design wireframes/mockups stripped
before the PR (they live in the Paperclip issue threads)
- No user-facing documentation changes required: the flag is
intentionally experimental and self-described in the Settings card; no
existing docs reference the affected surfaces

## Verification

- `pnpm run typecheck` — green across the workspace (ui, server, shared,
plugins)
- Full UI suite (`vitest run` in `ui/`, clean worktree at this HEAD):
**1593/1595 passing, 223/224 files** — the 2 remaining failures are in
`src/components/artifacts/ArtifactCard.test.tsx` and **fail identically
on pristine `origin/master`** (pre-existing upstream, unrelated to this
branch)
- Full server suite (`vitest run` in `server/`, same clean worktree):
results in PR checks; flag plumbing covered by instance-settings tests
- Targeted post-merge resolution check: `IssueChatThread`,
`IssueChatThreadSystemNotice`, `IssueDetail`, `Sidebar`,
`ConferenceRoomChatGate`, `OnboardingWizardVariant`, `NewIssueDialog`,
`InstanceExperimentalSettings`, `MarkdownEditor` — 172/172 passing
- Manual walkthrough: flag OFF (default) → onboarding wizard, task
thread, board chat, composer all render the classic UI; flag ON via
Settings → Experimental → capsule wizard, conference-room chat, unified
composer, status chips active
- Screenshots: see below

Capsule onboarding wizard walkthrough screenshots (flag ON) are attached
to the Paperclip design/implementation threads; the wizard requires a
fresh instance so it is captured via the e2e harness
(`tests/e2e/nux-phase4-screenshots.spec.ts`).


## Risks

- **Large surface, but gated:** all new behavior sits behind
`enableConferenceRoomChat`, default OFF; flag-OFF rendering is locked by
frozen `*Classic` forks plus an on/off parity test suite
- **Classic forks are frozen at the fork point (`e3aada1d`):** master
features added to the live thread component after that point (assignee
handoff chips, run status badge, composer mention coach) render in the
flag-ON path; the flag-OFF task thread keeps the fork-point behavior
until the experiment graduates (forks deleted) or is dropped (forks
restored as canonical). Called out for reviewer attention.
- **Merge-conflict resolution in `IssueChatThread.tsx`** (commit
`21a5642a`) deserves reviewer eyes: master's new handoff/run-status
components were kept; the base toast-style no-assignee flow remains
replaced by the AlertDialog flow introduced on this branch
- Schema/server changes are additive (one optional boolean instance
setting); no migrations of existing data

## Model Used

- Claude (Anthropic) via Claude Code running in the Paperclip agent
harness (agent: ClaudeCoder)
- Branch implemented across multiple agent sessions on Claude Opus-class
models with extended thinking + tool use (file edits, shell, Playwright
screenshots); merge/PR session model ID as reported by the harness:
`claude-fable-5` (Claude Code CLI)
- All code was agent-authored and board-reviewed through Paperclip issue
threads (plans, wireframes, confirmations) before merging

e3aada1df2 feat(ui): add Feedback item to the account flyout menu (PAP-107) (#7854)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The web UI has a bottom-left account flyout menu where users reach
profile, docs, and the light/dark toggle
> - There was no in-product way for users to send feedback or report
issues — they had to find an external channel
> - We want a low-friction, always-visible entry point for feedback, and
a clean URL we can re-point later without shipping app changes
> - This pull request adds a **Feedback** item (Megaphone icon) to the
account flyout, between Documentation and the theme toggle, that opens
`https://paperclip.ing/feedback` in a new tab
> - `paperclip.ing/feedback` is a stable indirection (added to the
marketing site) that currently 302-redirects to a Google Form, so the
destination can be swapped for a richer solution later with no app
release
> - The benefit is a one-click feedback path for users and a
future-proof link the team controls

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists (tracked internally as Paperclip PAP-107).
Describing the underlying request inline as a feature, per
CONTRIBUTING.md path (B):

### Problem or motivation

Users have no in-app affordance to give feedback or report issues; that
friction loses signal we'd otherwise act on.

### Proposed solution

Add a Feedback item to the account flyout (Megaphone icon, between
Documentation and the theme toggle) that opens a stable
`paperclip.ing/feedback` URL in a new tab. That URL redirects to a
Google Form for now, keeping the client decoupled from the destination.

### Alternatives considered

Linking the Google Form directly from the app — rejected because it
bakes a throwaway URL into the client; the `/feedback` indirection keeps
the link clean and swappable.

### Roadmap alignment

Small, self-contained UX addition; no overlap with planned core work
(checked ROADMAP.md). The `/feedback` redirect lives in the separate
`paperclip-website` repo (Astro site on Cloudflare Pages), commit
`f65b566`. No duplicate/related PRs found in this repo (searched
feedback/flyout/menu).

## What Changed

- `ui/src/components/SidebarAccountMenu.tsx`: import `Megaphone` from
`lucide-react`; add `FEEDBACK_URL = "https://paperclip.ing/feedback"`
const next to `DOCS_URL`; insert a `Feedback` `MenuAction` between
Documentation and the theme toggle using the `external` prop so it opens
in a new tab (`target="_blank"`, `rel="noreferrer"`) and closes the
popover on click.
- `ui/src/components/SidebarAccountMenu.test.tsx`: assert the Feedback
item renders with the correct `href`, opens in a new tab, and is ordered
after Documentation and before the theme toggle.
- (Separate repo, for context) `paperclip-website` `public/_redirects`:
`/feedback` → 302 → the feedback Google Form.

## Verification

- **Unit tests:** `SidebarAccountMenu` tests pass (item renders, correct
`href`, `target="_blank"`, ordering). Run: `cd ui && npm test --
SidebarAccountMenu`.
- **Manual / canary:** The board previewed the canary build of the menu
item and accepted it. Clicking **Feedback** opens a new tab to
`paperclip.ing/feedback`.
- **Redirect:** After the Cloudflare Pages deploy propagates, `curl -sI
https://paperclip.ing/feedback` returns the Google Form in the
`Location` header.

_Screenshots:_ UI change was validated via the accepted canary preview;
the item reuses the existing `MenuAction` styling, so it visually
matches the Documentation/theme rows.

## Risks

- **Low risk.** Additive, self-contained UI change with no new state or
API calls. The only external dependency is the `paperclip.ing/feedback`
redirect (separate repo, already deployed); if it were missing the link
would 404, but it is in place. No migrations, no breaking changes.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR.

## Model Used

- **Claude (Anthropic).** PR authoring/orchestration:
**claude-opus-4-8** (extended thinking + tool use). The implementation
commit `b454a12d` was produced with assistance from
**claude-sonnet-4-6**. All changes reviewed before pushing.

eaef47f4c7 Information Architecture + project/agent visual refresh (experimental) (#7543)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The board UI is the control surface for issues, projects, agents,
goals, workspaces, and operator settings.
> - The existing navigation and list surfaces make several
high-frequency workflows feel harder to scan than they should,
especially around projects and agents.
> - The product direction is to improve those surfaces without breaking
the existing route model or forcing a new IA on every operator at once.
> - This pull request now keeps the dependent IA, project identity, and
agent-list visual refresh work together while the Issue-to-Task copy
migration is split into #7651.
> - The benefit is a clearer left nav, better project identity, denser
agent/project list rows, and brand-aligned status treatment while
preserving the classic default experience behind a flag.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #7645
Refs #7651

Internal planning/work references: PAP-53, PAP-56, PAP-58, PAP-59,
PAP-60, PAP-61, PAP-68, PAP-69, PAP-70, PAP-71, PAP-72, PAP-75, PAP-76,
PAP-80, PAP-85, PAP-86, PAP-87, PAP-88, PAP-89.

## What Changed

- Adds `enableStreamlinedLeftNavigation`, defaulting off, and gates
sidebar presentation so classic navigation remains the default.
- Adds project icon persistence, validation, portability, picker UI, and
`ProjectTile` rendering while defaulting new projects to neutral gray.
- Adds projects-list task-count and budget summary data with focused
server/shared/UI coverage.
- Refreshes agent list rows, row actions, active/recent sidebar
behavior, and status capsule/chip styling for the approved brand state
system.
- Removes the placeholder Conference room and Artifacts nav/routes from
the finalized experimental nav direction.
- Removes `pnpm-lock.yaml` and the Issue-to-Task copy migration from
this PR diff; the copy migration now lives in #7651.

## Verification

- Existing branch verification from the authored commits: UI typecheck,
targeted unit tests, and light/dark visual checks for `/agents`, agent
detail, and design-guide status states.
- Maintainer cleanup verification on `75e34e5`: `git diff --check
origin/master...HEAD` passed, the `design/` diff is empty, and the PR
diff is 61 files, below Greptile's 100-file review limit.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` passed.
- `NODE_ENV=test pnpm exec vitest run
ui/src/components/Sidebar.test.tsx` passed: 1 file, 8 tests.
- CI and Greptile should rerun on the latest push.

## Risks

- Broad UI surface area: the experimental flag keeps the classic nav
default, but changed shared components such as `EntityRow`,
`ProjectTile`, and agent status badges could affect multiple pages.
- Database migration: `projects.icon` is additive and nullable, but
migration ordering and portability import/export must stay aligned.
- The Issue-to-Task copy migration is now separated into #7651, so
reviewers should evaluate this PR as IA/project/agent presentation work
only.
- Visual regressions are possible across smaller widths because the PR
intentionally changes dense list-row layouts.

## Model Used

Claude Opus 4.8 assisted the original feature commits.
Paperclip-Paperclip agents assisted some planning/design commits. Codex
/ GPT-5-class coding agent with shell, GitHub CLI, and repository access
performed this PR-readiness cleanup and split.
