# v2026.517.0

> Released: 2026-05-17

## Highlights

- **Grok Build is now a first-class local runtime** - Paperclip can configure and run `grok_local` through the built-in adapter registry, with server, UI, CLI, transcript parsing, session handling, diagnostics, and focused adapter coverage. ([#6087](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/6087), @devinfoley)
- **Issue documents can be locked for safer handoffs** - Board-managed document locks preserve approved snapshots, route agent writes to derived documents, expose lock state in the UI and API, and record lock activity. ([#6009](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/6009), @cryppadotta)
- **The Issues board scales better with large columns** - High-volume Kanban columns now support compact cards, collapsed cold lanes, per-column reveal limits, persisted density controls, and matching UI coverage. ([#5309](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/5309), @eibrahim)
- **Internationalization groundwork is in place** - The board UI now has an i18next foundation, locale validation, runtime package declarations, and a validated catalog of supported locale resources for future translated surfaces. ([#6058](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/6058), [#5943](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/5943), [#6070](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/6070), @cryppadotta)

## Improvements

- **Live issue document updates refresh open boards** - Document create, update, restore, and delete activity now invalidates the relevant list, active-document, and revision caches without forcing operators to reload the issue page. ([#6005](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/6005), @cryppadotta)
- **Cloudflare sandbox execution is more reliable** - The Cloudflare bridge now has larger execution capacity, SSE keepalives, safer stdout handling, sandbox-aware probe budgets, and a corrected Pi sandbox install path. ([#5967](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/5967), @devinfoley)
- **LLM Wiki packaging and plugin migrations are safer** - The packaged plugin now includes required assets, uses a visible bootstrap template, and validates and applies spaces migrations through explicit namespace-safe SQL. ([#6010](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/6010), @cryppadotta)
- **PR verification runs faster** - The GitHub PR workflow now fans out typecheck, release-registry checks, grouped general tests, and build work instead of serializing them behind one monolithic verify job. ([#6137](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/6137), @devinfoley)
- **Multilingual issue flows have regression coverage** - Board issue creation, server issue/comment/document round trips, and scoped wake payload rendering now cover Chinese, Japanese, and Hindi text preservation. ([#6069](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/6069), @cryppadotta)

## Fixes

- **Grok reasoning streams regain readable turn boundaries** - Paperclip now restores missing line breaks between streamed Grok reasoning chunks so the live Working panel no longer merges separate thoughts into run-on text. ([#6142](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/6142), @devinfoley)
- **Identifier-based wakeups bind to the right project workspace** - Heartbeat wakeup context now carries the resolved `projectId` and canonicalizes identifier-style issue references before workspace resolution. ([#6026](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/6026), @devinfoley)
- **Company export tolerates missing local run logs** - Optional comment attribution metadata now degrades gracefully when historical heartbeat run log files are missing, preserving exportable issue comments. ([#5960](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/5960), @cryppadotta)
