Use fixed .tmp suffix for writeSettings temp file

The mutex already serializes all writes, so the PID-based temp name
is unnecessary. A fixed suffix matches writeStore and avoids orphaned
temp files after a crash (a restarted process picks a new PID).

-  Handle a GitHub Security Advisory response for Paperclip, including
-  confidential fix development in a temporary private fork, human coordination
-  on advisory-thread comments, CVE request, synchronized advisory publication,
-  and immediate security release steps.

-# Security Vulnerability Response Instructions
-
-## ⚠️ CRITICAL: This is a security vulnerability. Everything about this process is confidential until the advisory is published. Do not mention the vulnerability details in any public commit message, PR title, branch name, or comment. Do not push anything to a public branch. Do not discuss specifics in any public channel. Assume anything on the public repo is visible to attackers who will exploit the window between disclosure and user upgrades.
-
-***
-
-## Context
-
-A security vulnerability has been reported via GitHub Security Advisory:
-
-* **Advisory:** {{ghsaId}} (e.g. GHSA-x8hx-rhr2-9rf7)
-* **Reporter:** {{reporterHandle}}
-* **Severity:** {{severity}}
-* **Notes:** {{notes}}
-
-***
-
-## Step 0: Fetch the Advisory Details
-
-Pull the full advisory so you understand the vulnerability before doing anything else:
-
-```
-gh api repos/paperclipai/paperclip/security-advisories/{{ghsaId}}
-
-```
-
-Read the `description`, `severity`, `cvss`, and `vulnerabilities` fields. Understand the attack vector before writing code.
-
-## Step 1: Acknowledge the Report
-
-⚠️ **This step requires a human.** The advisory thread does not have a comment API. Ask the human operator to post a comment on the private advisory thread acknowledging the report. Provide them this template:
-
-> Thanks for the report, @{{reporterHandle}}. We've confirmed the issue and are working on a fix. We're targeting a patch release within {{timeframe}}. We'll keep you updated here.
-
-Give your human this template, but still continue
-
-Below we use `gh` tools - you do have access and credentials outside of your sandbox, so use them.
-
-## Step 2: Create the Temporary Private Fork
-
-This is where all fix development happens. Never push to the public repo.
-
-```
-gh api --method POST \
-  repos/paperclipai/paperclip/security-advisories/{{ghsaId}}/forks
-
-```
-
-This returns a repository object for the private fork. Save the `full_name` and `clone_url`.
-
-Clone it and set up your workspace:
-
-```
-# Clone the private fork somewhere outside ~/paperclip
-git clone <clone_url_from_response> ~/security-patch-{{ghsaId}}
-cd ~/security-patch-{{ghsaId}}
-git checkout -b security-fix
-
-```
-
-**Do not edit `~/paperclip`** — the dev server is running off the `~/paperclip` master branch and we don't want to touch it. All work happens in the private fork clone.
-
-**TIPS:**
-
-* Do not commit `pnpm-lock.yaml` — the repo has actions to manage this
-* Do not use descriptive branch names that leak the vulnerability (e.g., no `fix-dns-rebinding-rce`). Use something generic like `security-fix`
-* All work stays in the private fork until publication
-* CI/GitHub Actions will NOT run on the temporary private fork — this is a GitHub limitation by design. You must run tests locally
-
-## Step 3: Develop and Validate the Fix
-
-Write the patch. Same content standards as any PR:
-
-* It must functionally work — **run tests locally** since CI won't run on the private fork
-* Consider the whole codebase, not just the narrow vulnerability path. A patch that fixes one vector but opens another is worse than no patch
-* Ensure backwards compatibility for the database, or be explicit about what breaks
-* Make sure any UI components still look correct if the fix touches them
-* The fix should be minimal and focused — don't bundle unrelated changes into a security patch. Reviewers (and the reporter) should be able to read the diff and understand exactly what changed and why
-
-**Specific to security fixes:**
-
-* Verify the fix actually closes the attack vector described in the advisory. Reproduce the vulnerability first (using the reporter's description), then confirm the patch prevents it
-* Consider adjacent attack vectors — if DNS rebinding is the issue, are there other endpoints or modes with the same class of problem?
-* Do not introduce new dependencies unless absolutely necessary — new deps in a security patch raise eyebrows
-
-Push your fix to the private fork:
-
-```
-git add -A
-git commit -m "Fix security vulnerability"
-git push origin security-fix
-
-```
-
-## Step 4: Coordinate with the Reporter
-
-⚠️ **This step requires a human.** Ask the human operator to post on the advisory thread letting the reporter know the fix is ready and giving them a chance to review. Provide them this template:
-
-> @{{reporterHandle}} — fix is ready in the private fork if you'd like to review before we publish. Planning to release within {{timeframe}}.
-
-Proceed
-
-## Step 5: Request a CVE
-
-This makes vulnerability scanners (npm audit, Snyk, Dependabot) warn users to upgrade. Without it, nobody gets automated notification.
-
-```
-gh api --method POST \
-  repos/paperclipai/paperclip/security-advisories/{{ghsaId}}/cve
-
-```
-
-GitHub is a CVE Numbering Authority and will assign one automatically. The CVE may take a few hours to propagate after the advisory is published.
-
-## Step 6: Publish Everything Simultaneously
-
-This all happens at once — do not stagger these steps. The goal is **zero window** between the vulnerability becoming public knowledge and the fix being available.
-
-### 6a. Verify reporter credit before publishing
-
-```
-gh api repos/paperclipai/paperclip/security-advisories/{{ghsaId}} --jq '.credits'
-
-```
-
-If the reporter is not credited, add them:
-
-```
-gh api --method PATCH \
-  repos/paperclipai/paperclip/security-advisories/{{ghsaId}} \
-  --input - << 'EOF'
-{
-  "credits": [
-    {
-      "login": "{{reporterHandle}}",
-      "type": "reporter"
-    }
-  ]
-}
-EOF
-
-```
-
-### 6b. Update the advisory with the patched version and publish
-
-```
-gh api --method PATCH \
-  repos/paperclipai/paperclip/security-advisories/{{ghsaId}} \
-  --input - << 'EOF'
-{
-  "state": "published",
-  "vulnerabilities": [
-    {
-      "package": {
-        "ecosystem": "npm",
-        "name": "paperclip"
-      },
-      "vulnerable_version_range": "< {{patchedVersion}}",
-      "patched_versions": "{{patchedVersion}}"
-    }
-  ]
-}
-EOF
-
-```
-
-Publishing the advisory simultaneously:
-
-* Makes the GHSA public
-* Merges the temporary private fork into your repo
-* Triggers the CVE assignment (if requested in step 5)
-
-### 6c. Cut a release immediately after merge
-
-```
-cd ~/paperclip
-git pull origin master
-
-gh release create v{{patchedVersion}} \
-  --repo paperclipai/paperclip \
-  --title "v{{patchedVersion}} — Security Release" \
-  --notes "## Security Release
-
-This release fixes a critical security vulnerability.
-
-### What was fixed
-{{briefDescription}} (e.g., Remote code execution via DNS rebinding in \`local_trusted\` mode)
-
-### Advisory
-https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/security/advisories/{{ghsaId}}
-
-### Credit
-Thanks to @{{reporterHandle}} for responsibly disclosing this vulnerability.
-
-### Action required
-All users running versions prior to {{patchedVersion}} should upgrade immediately."
-
-```
-
-## Step 7: Post-Publication Verification
-
-```
-# Verify the advisory is published and CVE is assigned
-gh api repos/paperclipai/paperclip/security-advisories/{{ghsaId}} \
-  --jq '{state: .state, cve_id: .cve_id, published_at: .published_at}'
-
-# Verify the release exists
-gh release view v{{patchedVersion}} --repo paperclipai/paperclip
-
-```
-
-If the CVE hasn't been assigned yet, that's normal — it can take a few hours.
-
-⚠️ **Human step:** Ask the human operator to post a final comment on the advisory thread confirming publication and thanking the reporter.
-
-Tell the human operator what you did by posting a comment to this task, including:
-
-* The published advisory URL: `https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/security/advisories/{{ghsaId}}`
-* The release URL
-* Whether the CVE has been assigned yet
-* All URLs to any pull requests or branches

-# Paperclip Fork — Project Context
-
-This is a fork of [paperclipai/paperclip](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip).
-Fork repo: https://github.com/farhoodlabs/paperclip
-
-## Branch Model
-
-| Branch | Purpose |
-|---|---|
-| `master` | Mirrors `upstream/master` exactly + `.farhoodlabs/` overlay directory + `assemble-local.yml` action. Never commit application code here. |
-| `local` | **Default branch.** Assembled automatically by `assemble-local.yml` on every `master` push. Contains: upstream + fork Dockerfile/workflows + all pending upstream PR cherry-picks. Builds `ghcr.io/farhoodlabs/paperclip`. |
-| `dev` | Development branch based on upstream/master. Builds `ghcr.io/farhoodlabs/paperclip-dev` on every push. |
-| PR branches | `skill-pat-feature`, `skill-scan-refresh`, `feat/company-portability-complete` — open PRs to upstream, never rebase onto master/local. |
-
-**Never commit directly to `local`** — it is fully regenerated by the assemble action and any direct commits will be overwritten.
-
-## Fork Overlay (`.farhoodlabs/`)
-
-Files committed to `master` that get copied into position on `local` by the assemble action:
-
-```
-.farhoodlabs/
-  CLAUDE.md                          → CLAUDE.md (repo root)
-  Dockerfile                         → Dockerfile
-  .github/workflows/build-prod.yml   → .github/workflows/build-prod.yml
-  .github/workflows/build-dev.yml    → .github/workflows/build-dev.yml
-```
-
-The fork's Dockerfile production stage additions over upstream: `kubectl`, `kubeseal`, `uv`/`uvx`, `forgejo-cli` (`fj`, `fj-ex`, `fgj`), `nano`, `vim`.
-
-To modify fork-specific files, edit them in `.farhoodlabs/` on `master` and push — the assemble action will apply them to `local` automatically.
-
-## Pending Upstream PRs (included in `local`)
-
-These are cherry-picked/squashed onto `local` by the assemble action. When upstream merges one, remove its entry from `assemble-local.yml`.
-
-| PR | Branch | Method | Notes |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| #3237 | `skill-pat-feature` | cherry-pick | GitHub PAT support for private skill repos |
-| #3351 | `skill-scan-refresh` | cherry-pick (exclude: skill-pat-feature) | Rebased onto skill-pat-feature |
-| #3987 | `feat/company-portability-complete` | squash | Secrets export/import; squashed to bypass intra-PR merge commits |
-
-## Common Tasks
-
-### Sync upstream into master
-```bash
-git fetch upstream
-git push origin upstream/master:master --force-with-lease
-# assemble-local.yml triggers automatically and rebuilds local
-```
-
-### Add a new pending PR to local
-Edit `.github/workflows/assemble-local.yml` on `master`:
-- Simple PR (clean commits, no merge commits): add to `PR_CHERRY_PICK`
-- Complex PR (has merge commits mixed in): add to `PR_SQUASH`
-- If the branch was rebased onto another PR branch: use `exclude:base-branch`
-
-### Remove a PR after upstream merges it
-Delete its entry from `PR_CHERRY_PICK` or `PR_SQUASH` in `assemble-local.yml` on `master`.
-
-### Submit a new PR to upstream
-Branch from `upstream/master` (not from `local` or `master`):
-```bash
-git fetch upstream
-git checkout -b feat/my-feature upstream/master
-```
-
-### Modify the fork Dockerfile
-Edit `.farhoodlabs/Dockerfile` on `master`. Only modify the production stage — keep base/deps/build stages identical to upstream so diffs are minimal and upstream changes apply cleanly.
-
-## Deployment
-
-Paperclip runs in Kubernetes, not locally. Use `kubectl` to access it. The production image is `ghcr.io/farhoodlabs/paperclip:latest`.
-
-## Key Files
-
-- `.github/workflows/assemble-local.yml` — assembles `local` branch; edit this to manage pending PRs
-- `.farhoodlabs/` — fork overlay; all fork-specific files live here on `master`
-- `server/package.json` — has an adapter-utils workspace vs canary hack that needs fixing eventually

-# Paperclip Fork — Project Context
-
-This is a fork of [paperclipai/paperclip](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip).
-Fork repo: https://github.com/farhoodlabs/paperclip
-
-## Branch Model
-
-| Branch | Purpose |
-|---|---|
-| `master` | Mirrors `upstream/master` exactly + `.farhoodlabs/` overlay directory + `assemble-local.yml` action. Never commit application code here. |
-| `local` | **Default branch.** Assembled automatically by `assemble-local.yml` on every `master` push. Contains: upstream + fork Dockerfile/workflows + all pending upstream PR cherry-picks. Builds `ghcr.io/farhoodlabs/paperclip`. |
-| `dev` | Development branch based on upstream/master. Builds `ghcr.io/farhoodlabs/paperclip-dev` on every push. |
-| PR branches | `skill-pat-feature`, `skill-scan-refresh`, `feat/company-portability-complete` — open PRs to upstream, never rebase onto master/local. |
-
-**Never commit directly to `local`** — it is fully regenerated by the assemble action and any direct commits will be overwritten.
-
-## Fork Overlay (`.farhoodlabs/`)
-
-Files committed to `master` that get copied into position on `local` by the assemble action:
-
-```
-.farhoodlabs/
-  CLAUDE.md                          → CLAUDE.md (repo root)
-  Dockerfile                         → Dockerfile
-  .github/workflows/build-prod.yml   → .github/workflows/build-prod.yml
-  .github/workflows/build-dev.yml    → .github/workflows/build-dev.yml
-```
-
-The fork's Dockerfile production stage additions over upstream: `kubectl`, `kubeseal`, `uv`/`uvx`, `forgejo-cli` (`fj`, `fj-ex`, `fgj`), `nano`, `vim`.
-
-To modify fork-specific files, edit them in `.farhoodlabs/` on `master` and push — the assemble action will apply them to `local` automatically.
-
-## Pending Upstream PRs (included in `local`)
-
-These are cherry-picked/squashed onto `local` by the assemble action. When upstream merges one, remove its entry from `assemble-local.yml`.
-
-| PR | Branch | Method | Notes |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| #3237 | `skill-pat-feature` | cherry-pick | GitHub PAT support for private skill repos |
-| #3351 | `skill-scan-refresh` | cherry-pick (exclude: skill-pat-feature) | Rebased onto skill-pat-feature |
-| #3987 | `feat/company-portability-complete` | squash | Secrets export/import; squashed to bypass intra-PR merge commits |
-
-## Common Tasks
-
-### Sync upstream into master
-```bash
-git fetch upstream
-git push origin upstream/master:master --force-with-lease
-# assemble-local.yml triggers automatically and rebuilds local
-```
-
-### Add a new pending PR to local
-Edit `.github/workflows/assemble-local.yml` on `master`:
-- Simple PR (clean commits, no merge commits): add to `PR_CHERRY_PICK`
-- Complex PR (has merge commits mixed in): add to `PR_SQUASH`
-- If the branch was rebased onto another PR branch: use `exclude:base-branch`
-
-### Remove a PR after upstream merges it
-Delete its entry from `PR_CHERRY_PICK` or `PR_SQUASH` in `assemble-local.yml` on `master`.
-
-### Submit a new PR to upstream
-Branch from `upstream/master` (not from `local` or `master`):
-```bash
-git fetch upstream
-git checkout -b feat/my-feature upstream/master
-```
-
-### Modify the fork Dockerfile
-Edit `.farhoodlabs/Dockerfile` on `master`. Only modify the production stage — keep base/deps/build stages identical to upstream so diffs are minimal and upstream changes apply cleanly.
-
-## Deployment
-
-Paperclip runs in Kubernetes, not locally. Use `kubectl` to access it. The production image is `ghcr.io/farhoodlabs/paperclip:latest`.
-
-## Key Files
-
-- `.github/workflows/assemble-local.yml` — assembles `local` branch; edit this to manage pending PRs
-- `.farhoodlabs/` — fork overlay; all fork-specific files live here on `master`
-- `server/package.json` — has an adapter-utils workspace vs canary hack that needs fixing eventually

CONTRIBUTING.md

@@ -51,21 +51,6 @@ All tests must pass before a PR can be merged. Run them locally first and verify
 
 We use [Greptile](https://greptile.com) for automated code review. Your PR must achieve a **5/5 Greptile score** with **all Greptile comments addressed** before it can be merged. If Greptile leaves comments, fix or respond to each one and request a re-review.
 
-## Feature Contributions
-
-We actively manage the core Paperclip feature roadmap.
-
-Uncoordinated feature PRs against the core product may be closed, even when the implementation is thoughtful and high quality. That is about roadmap ownership, product coherence, and long-term maintenance commitment, not a judgment about the effort.
-
-If you want to contribute a feature:
-
-- Check [ROADMAP.md](ROADMAP.md) first
-- Start the discussion in Discord -> `#dev` before writing code
-- If the idea fits as an extension, prefer building it with the [plugin system](doc/plugins/PLUGIN_SPEC.md)
-- If you want to show a possible direction, reference implementations are welcome as feedback, but they generally will not be merged directly into core
-
-Bugs, docs improvements, and small targeted improvements are still the easiest path to getting merged, and we really do appreciate them.
-
 ## General Rules (both paths)
 
 - Write clear commit messages

-### The Systems
-
-<table>
-<tr>
-<td width="50%">
-
-**Identity & Access** — Two deployment modes (trusted local or authenticated), board users, agent API keys, short-lived run JWTs, company memberships, invite flows, and OpenClaw onboarding. Every mutating request is traced to an actor.
-
-</td>
-<td width="50%">
-
-**Org Chart & Agents** — Agents have roles, titles, reporting lines, permissions, and budgets. Adapter examples match the diagram: Claude Code, Codex, CLI agents such as Cursor/Gemini/bash, HTTP/webhook bots such as OpenClaw, and external adapter plugins. If it can receive a heartbeat, it's hired.
-
-</td>
-</tr>
-<tr>
-<td>
-
-**Work & Task System** — Issues carry company/project/goal/parent links, atomic checkout with execution locks, first-class blocker dependencies, comments, documents, attachments, work products, labels, and inbox state. No double-work, no lost context.
-
-</td>
-<td>
-
-**Heartbeat Execution** — DB-backed wakeup queue with coalescing, budget checks, workspace resolution, secret injection, skill loading, and adapter invocation. Runs produce structured logs, cost events, session state, and audit trails. Recovery handles orphaned runs automatically.
-
-</td>
-</tr>
-<tr>
-<td>
-
-**Workspaces & Runtime** — Project workspaces, isolated execution workspaces (git worktrees, operator branches), and runtime services (dev servers, preview URLs). Agents work in the right directory with the right context every time.
-
-</td>
-<td>
-
-**Governance & Approvals** — Board approval workflows, execution policies with review/approval stages, decision tracking, budget hard-stops, agent pause/resume/terminate, and full audit logging. You're the board — nothing ships without your sign-off.
-
-</td>
-</tr>
-<tr>
-<td>
-
-**Budget & Cost Control** — Token and cost tracking by company, agent, project, goal, issue, provider, and model. Scoped budget policies with warning thresholds and hard stops. Overspend pauses agents and cancels queued work automatically.
-
-</td>
-<td>
-
-**Routines & Schedules** — Recurring tasks with cron, webhook, and API triggers. Concurrency and catch-up policies. Each routine execution creates a tracked issue and wakes the assigned agent — no manual kick-offs needed.
-
-</td>
-</tr>
-<tr>
-<td>
-
-**Plugins** — Instance-wide plugin system with out-of-process workers, capability-gated host services, job scheduling, tool exposure, and UI contributions. Extend Paperclip without forking it.
-
-</td>
-<td>
-
-**Secrets & Storage** — Instance and company secrets, encrypted local storage, provider-backed object storage, attachments, and work products. Sensitive values stay out of prompts unless a scoped run explicitly needs them.
-
-</td>
-</tr>
-<tr>
-<td>
-
-**Activity & Events** — Mutating actions, heartbeat state changes, cost events, approvals, comments, and work products are recorded as durable activity so operators can audit what happened and why.
-
-</td>
-<td>
-
-**Company Portability** — Export and import entire organizations — agents, skills, projects, routines, and issues — with secret scrubbing and collision handling. One deployment, many companies, complete data isolation.
-
-</td>
-</tr>

-# Roadmap
-
-This document expands the roadmap preview in `README.md`.
-
-Paperclip is still moving quickly. The list below is directional, not promised, and priorities may shift as we learn from users and from operating real AI companies with the product.
-
-We value community involvement and want to make sure contributor energy goes toward areas where it can land.
-
-We may accept contributions in the areas below, but if you want to work on roadmap-level core features, please coordinate with us first in Discord (`#dev`) before writing code. Bugs, docs, polish, and tightly scoped improvements are still the easiest contributions to merge.
-
-If you want to extend Paperclip today, the best path is often the [plugin system](doc/plugins/PLUGIN_SPEC.md). Community reference implementations are also useful feedback even when they are not merged directly into core.
-
-## Milestones
-
-### ✅ Plugin system
-
-Paperclip should keep a thin core and rich edges. Plugins are the path for optional capabilities like knowledge bases, custom tracing, queues, doc editors, and other product-specific surfaces that do not need to live in the control plane itself.
-
-### ✅ Get OpenClaw / claw-style agent employees
-
-Paperclip should be able to hire and manage real claw-style agent workers, not just a narrow built-in runtime. This is part of the larger "bring your own agent" story and keeps the control plane useful across different agent ecosystems.
-
-### ✅ companies.sh - import and export entire organizations
-
-Reusable companies matter. Import/export is the foundation for moving org structures, agent definitions, and reusable company setups between environments and eventually for broader company-template distribution.
-
-### ✅ Easy AGENTS.md configurations
-
-Agent setup should feel repo-native and legible. Simple `AGENTS.md`-style configuration lowers the barrier to getting an agent team running and makes it easier for contributors to understand how a company is wired together.
-
-### ✅ Skills Manager
-
-Agents need a practical way to discover, install, and use skills without every setup becoming bespoke. The skills layer is part of making Paperclip companies more reusable and easier to operate.
-
-### ✅ Scheduled Routines
-
-Recurring work should be native. Routine tasks like reports, reviews, and other periodic work need first-class scheduling so the company keeps operating even when no human is manually kicking work off.
-
-### ✅ Better Budgeting
-
-Budgets are a core control-plane feature, not an afterthought. Better budgeting means clearer spend visibility, safer hard stops, and better operator control over how autonomy turns into real cost.
-
-### ✅ Agent Reviews and Approvals
-
-Paperclip should support explicit review and approval stages as first-class workflow steps, not just ad hoc comments. That means reviewer routing, approval gates, change requests, and durable audit trails that fit the same task model as the rest of the control plane.
-
-### ✅ Multiple Human Users
-
-Paperclip needs a clearer path from solo operator to real human teams. That means shared board access, safer collaboration, and a better model for several humans supervising the same autonomous company.
-
-### ⚪ Cloud / Sandbox agents (e.g. Cursor / e2b agents)
-
-We want agents to run in more remote and sandboxed environments while preserving the same Paperclip control-plane model. This makes the system safer, more flexible, and more useful outside a single trusted local machine.
-
-### ⚪ Artifacts & Work Products
-
-Paperclip should make outputs first-class. That means generated artifacts, previews, deployable outputs, and the handoff from "agent did work" to "here is the result" should become more visible and easier to operate.
-
-### ⚪ Memory / Knowledge
-
-We want a stronger memory and knowledge surface for companies, agents, and projects. That includes durable memory, better recall of prior decisions and context, and a clearer path for knowledge-style capabilities without turning Paperclip into a generic chat app.
-
-### ⚪ Enforced Outcomes
-
-Paperclip should get stricter about what counts as finished work. Tasks, approvals, and execution flows should resolve to clear outcomes like merged code, published artifacts, shipped docs, or explicit decisions instead of stopping at vague status updates.
-
-### ⚪ MAXIMIZER MODE
-
-This is the direction for higher-autonomy execution: more aggressive delegation, deeper follow-through, and stronger operating loops with clear budgets, visibility, and governance. The point is not hidden autonomy; the point is more output per human supervisor.
-
-### ⚪ Deep Planning
-
-Some work needs more than a task description before execution starts. Deeper planning means stronger issue documents, revisionable plans, and clearer review loops for strategy-heavy work before agents begin execution.
-
-### ⚪ Work Queues
-
-Paperclip should support queue-style work streams for repeatable inputs like support, triage, review, and backlog intake. That would make it easier to route work continuously without turning every system into a one-off workflow.
-
-### ⚪ Self-Organization
-
-As companies grow, agents should be able to propose useful structural changes such as role adjustments, delegation changes, and new recurring routines. The goal is adaptive organizations that still stay within governance and approval boundaries.
-
-### ⚪ Automatic Organizational Learning
-
-Paperclip should get better at turning completed work into reusable organizational knowledge. That includes capturing playbooks, recurring fixes, and decision patterns so future work starts from what the company has already learned.
-
-### ⚪ CEO Chat
-
-We want a lighter-weight way to talk to leadership agents, but those conversations should still resolve to real work objects like plans, issues, approvals, or decisions. This should improve interaction without changing the core task-and-comments model.
-
-### ⚪ Cloud deployments
-
-Local-first remains important, but Paperclip also needs a cleaner shared deployment story. Teams should be able to run the same product in hosted or semi-hosted environments without changing the mental model.
-
-### ⚪ Desktop App
-
-A desktop app can make Paperclip feel more accessible and persistent for day-to-day operators. The goal is easier access, better local ergonomics, and a smoother default experience for users who want the control plane always close at hand.

+There are two fundamental modes for running an agent's heartbeat:
 
-1. **Local CLI/session adapters** — Paperclip starts or resumes local coding-tool sessions such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode, Pi, and Cursor, then tracks the run.
-2. **Run a command** — Paperclip kicks off a process (shell command, Python script, etc.) and tracks it. The heartbeat is "execute this and monitor it."
-3. **Fire and forget a request** — Paperclip sends a webhook/API call to an externally running agent. The heartbeat is "notify this agent to wake up." OpenClaw-style hooks work this way.

-## Release enrollment for new public packages
-
-Paperclip does not auto-publish every non-private workspace package anymore.
-CI publishing is controlled by [`scripts/release-package-manifest.json`](../scripts/release-package-manifest.json).
-
-When you add a new public package:
-
-1. add it to the manifest and decide whether CI should publish it immediately
-2. if CI should publish it, bootstrap the package on npm before merge
-3. if CI should not publish it yet, keep `"publishFromCi": false`
-4. only enable `"publishFromCi": true` after npm trusted publishing is configured for that package
-
-PR CI now checks changed release-enabled package manifests against npm. That catches a missing first-publish bootstrap before the change reaches `master`.
-
-### One-time bootstrap sequence for a new package
-
-The first publish of a brand-new package still needs one human maintainer with npm write access.
-After that, trusted publishing can take over.
-
-Example for `@paperclipai/adapter-acpx-local` from the repo root:
-
-```bash
-# safe preview
-pnpm run release:bootstrap-package -- @paperclipai/adapter-acpx-local
-
-# one-time first publish from an authenticated maintainer machine
-pnpm run release:bootstrap-package -- @paperclipai/adapter-acpx-local --publish --otp 123456
-```
-
-The helper script:
-
-- checks that the package does not already exist on npm
-- builds the target package unless `--skip-build` is passed
-- runs `npm pack --dry-run` in the package directory
-- only runs the real `npm publish --access public` when `--publish --otp <code>` is provided
-
-For the real `--publish` step, the maintainer machine must already be authenticated to npm.
-If `npm whoami` returns `401`, first run `npm logout --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/` to clear any stale local auth, then run `npm login` or `npm adduser` locally as an npm org member, and finally rerun the helper.
-That local human auth is fine for the one-time bootstrap publish; we just do not want the same auth model inside CI.
-The helper now requires `--otp <code>` up front for `--publish`, so it fails before the real publish attempt if the one-time password is missing.
-
-After that first publish succeeds:
-
-1. open `https://www.npmjs.com/package/@paperclipai/adapter-acpx-local`
-2. go to `Settings` → `Trusted publishing`
-3. add repository `paperclipai/paperclip`
-4. set workflow filename to `release.yml`

-6. keep `publishFromCi: true` in [`scripts/release-package-manifest.json`](../scripts/release-package-manifest.json)

-# AWS Secrets Manager Provider
-
-Operational contract for the hosted `aws_secrets_manager` secret provider used by Paperclip Cloud.
-
-## Scope
-
-- Hosted provider for Paperclip-managed secrets when Paperclip Cloud runs on AWS.
-- Source of truth for secret values is AWS Secrets Manager, not Postgres.
-- Paperclip stores only metadata needed for ownership, bindings, version selection, audit, and runtime resolution.
-- AWS provider bootstrap credentials are deployment/runtime credentials, not Paperclip-managed company secrets.
-- Remote import for existing AWS secrets is metadata-only. Preview/import uses
-  AWS inventory metadata and creates Paperclip external references; it does not
-  copy plaintext into Paperclip.
-- Per-company AWS provider vaults (named instances of `aws_secrets_manager`
-  with their own region, namespace, prefix, KMS key id, and tags) are managed
-  in the board UI under `Company Settings → Secrets → Provider vaults`. See
-  [Provider Vaults](../docs/deploy/secrets.md#provider-vaults) for the operator
-  model and [Provider Vaults API](../docs/api/secrets.md#provider-vaults) for
-  the routes. The bootstrap trust model in this document still applies — vault
-  config carries non-sensitive routing metadata only, never AWS credentials.
-
-## Bootstrap Trust Model
-
-The AWS provider has a chicken-and-egg boundary: Paperclip cannot use
-`company_secrets` to unlock the AWS provider that stores those secrets. The
-initial AWS trust must exist before the Paperclip server starts.
-
-Allowed bootstrap locations:
-
-- Infrastructure IAM or workload identity attached to the Paperclip server
-  runtime.
-- Process environment or orchestrator secret store used to start the Paperclip
-  server.
-- Local AWS SDK sources such as `AWS_PROFILE`, AWS SSO/shared config, web
-  identity, container metadata, or instance metadata.
-- Short-lived shell credentials for local development only.
-
-Do not ask operators to paste AWS root credentials or long-lived IAM user access
-keys into the Paperclip board UI. Do not store those bootstrap keys in
-`company_secrets`.
-
-## Paperclip Cloud Bootstrap
-
-Paperclip Cloud must provision the AWS backing resources before any board user
-can create AWS-backed company secrets:
-
-1. Create or select the deployment KMS key.
-2. Create the Paperclip server runtime role for the deployment.
-3. Attach a minimum IAM policy scoped to the deployment Secrets Manager prefix
-   and the configured KMS key.
-4. Configure the server runtime with the non-secret provider environment
-   variables below.
-5. Run `paperclipai doctor` or the provider health endpoint from the deployed
-   runtime and confirm that the provider reports the expected region, prefix,
-   deployment id, KMS setting, and AWS SDK credential source.
-
-Once this is in place, the board UI can create Paperclip-managed AWS secrets and
-Paperclip will write them under the deployment/company namespace.
-
-## Self-Hosted And Local Bootstrap
-
-Self-hosted AWS deployments should use the AWS SDK default credential provider
-chain. Preferred sources are role-based:
-
-- EC2 instance profile.
-- ECS task role.
-- EKS IRSA or another OIDC web identity role.
-- AWS SSO/shared config via `AWS_PROFILE`.
-
-Local development can use:
-
-```sh
-aws sso login --profile paperclip-dev
-AWS_PROFILE=paperclip-dev \
-PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_PROVIDER=aws_secrets_manager \
-PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_REGION=us-east-1 \
-PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_DEPLOYMENT_ID=dev-local \
-PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_KMS_KEY_ID=arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:123456789012:key/abcd-... \
-pnpm dev
-```
-
-Temporary `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`/`AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` environment credentials
-are acceptable only as a local break-glass or short-lived test source. They
-should not be written to Paperclip config, committed to `.env` files, stored in
-`company_secrets`, or used as the default Paperclip Cloud bootstrap path.
-
-## Deployment Config
-
-Required environment variables:
-
-```sh
-PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_PROVIDER=aws_secrets_manager
-PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_REGION=us-east-1
-PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_DEPLOYMENT_ID=prod-us-1
-PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_KMS_KEY_ID=arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:123456789012:key/abcd-...

-
-Optional environment variables:
-
-```sh

-PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_ENVIRONMENT=production
-PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_PROVIDER_OWNER=paperclip
-PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_ENDPOINT=
-PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_DELETE_RECOVERY_DAYS=30
-```
-
-Naming convention for Paperclip-managed secrets:
-
-```text
-paperclip/{deploymentId}/{companyId}/{secretKey}
-```
-
-Tag set for Paperclip-managed secrets:
-
-- `paperclip:managed-by=paperclip`
-- `paperclip:provider-owner=<owner tag>`
-- `paperclip:deployment-id=<deployment id>`
-- `paperclip:company-id=<company id>`
-- `paperclip:secret-key=<secret key>`
-- `paperclip:environment=<environment tag>`
-
-## IAM And KMS Assumptions
-
-Launch posture:
-
-- One Paperclip app role per deployment.
-- One deployment-scoped KMS key per deployment at launch.
-- Future per-company KMS keys remain compatible because Paperclip stores provider refs and version metadata separately from values.
-
-Minimum IAM boundary:
-
-- Allow `secretsmanager:CreateSecret`, `PutSecretValue`, `GetSecretValue`, and `DeleteSecret`.
-- Scope resources to the deployment prefix:
-
-```text
-arn:aws:secretsmanager:<region>:<account-id>:secret:paperclip/<deployment-id>/*
-```
-
-- Allow `kms:Encrypt`, `kms:Decrypt`, `kms:GenerateDataKey`, and `kms:DescribeKey` for the configured deployment CMK.
-- Deny wildcard access outside the deployment prefix.
-- Prefer workload identity / role-based auth. Do not store AWS credentials inline in Paperclip config.
-
-Example minimum policy shape:
-
-```json
-{
-  "Version": "2012-10-17",
-  "Statement": [
-    {
-      "Sid": "PaperclipDeploymentSecrets",
-      "Effect": "Allow",
-      "Action": [
-        "secretsmanager:CreateSecret",
-        "secretsmanager:PutSecretValue",
-        "secretsmanager:GetSecretValue",
-        "secretsmanager:DeleteSecret"
-      ],
-      "Resource": "arn:aws:secretsmanager:<region>:<account-id>:secret:paperclip/<deployment-id>/*"
-    },
-    {
-      "Sid": "PaperclipDeploymentKms",
-      "Effect": "Allow",
-      "Action": [
-        "kms:Encrypt",
-        "kms:Decrypt",
-        "kms:GenerateDataKey",
-        "kms:DescribeKey"
-      ],
-      "Resource": "arn:aws:kms:<region>:<account-id>:key/<key-id>"
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-Operational expectation:
-
-- Paperclip-managed secrets may be deleted only by Paperclip or an operator with equivalent break-glass access.
-- External references may resolve through Paperclip runtime, but Paperclip should not delete the external secret resource.
-
-## Remote Import Inventory IAM
-
-Remote import preview needs one additional AWS permission:
-
-```json
-{
-  "Sid": "PaperclipRemoteSecretInventory",
-  "Effect": "Allow",
-  "Action": "secretsmanager:ListSecrets",
-  "Resource": "*"
-}
-```
-
-This is intentionally separate from the managed create/rotate/delete policy.
-AWS treats `ListSecrets` as an account/Region inventory action; do not document
-secret ARNs, names, tags, or AWS request filters as an IAM boundary for it. Use
-`Resource: "*"` and decide whether inventory exposure is acceptable for the AWS
-account and Region behind each provider vault.
-
-Remote import preview/import must not call:
-
-- `secretsmanager:GetSecretValue`
-- `secretsmanager:BatchGetSecretValue`
-- `kms:Decrypt`
-
-Those permissions are only needed later when a bound runtime resolves an
-imported external reference. For imported refs, scope read permissions to the
-operator-approved external prefixes that Paperclip is allowed to consume:
-
-```json
-{
-  "Sid": "PaperclipResolveImportedExternalReferences",
-  "Effect": "Allow",
-  "Action": "secretsmanager:GetSecretValue",
-  "Resource": [
-    "arn:aws:secretsmanager:<region>:<account-id>:secret:<approved-external-prefix>/*"
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-If selected external secrets use customer-managed KMS keys, also grant
-`kms:Decrypt` and `kms:DescribeKey` on those keys. Keep managed write/delete
-permissions scoped to `paperclip/<deployment-id>/*`; do not broaden them for
-remote import.
-
-Safe scoping guidance:
-
-- Prefer one Paperclip runtime role per environment/account.
-- Point provider vaults at the intended AWS account and Region instead of a
-  broad central admin role.
-- Enable `ListSecrets` only in accounts where inventory exposure is acceptable.
-- Keep preview/import board-only; agent API keys must not call these routes.
-- Treat AWS tag/name filters as search UX only, not permission enforcement.
-
-Paperclip also blocks importing refs under its own managed namespace as
-external references. Use the Paperclip-managed flow for
-`paperclip/{deploymentId}/{companyId}/{secretKey}` resources.
-
-## Existing AWS Secrets
-
-V1 keeps existing AWS Secrets Manager entries as **linked external references**, not adopted
-Paperclip-managed resources.
-
-Use the Paperclip-managed flow when Paperclip should create and rotate the value. The AWS
-secret name is derived from deployment and company scope:
-
-```text
-paperclip/{deploymentId}/{companyId}/{secretKey}
-```
-
-Use the external-reference flow when the secret already exists at an operator-owned path such
-as:
-
-```text
-/paperclip-bench/anthropic_api_key
-```
-
-In that mode Paperclip stores only the path or ARN, resolves it at runtime, and records
-redacted access events. Operators rotate the actual value in AWS. Update the Paperclip
-reference only when the AWS path, ARN, or pinned provider version changes.
-
-Paperclip does not currently offer an "adopt existing AWS secret" flow that takes over future
-`PutSecretValue` writes for an arbitrary existing secret. Adding that later requires explicit
-confirmation UX, scope validation, expected Paperclip tags, and security/cloud-ops review.
-
-## Data Custody
-
-- Paperclip stores `externalRef`, `providerVersionRef`, provider id, fingerprint hash, status, and binding metadata.
-- Paperclip does not store AWS secret plaintext in `company_secret_versions.material`.
-- Runtime resolution fetches the value from AWS only when a bound consumer needs it.
-
-## Rotation Runbook
-
-Manual Paperclip-managed rotation:
-
-1. Write the new value through the Paperclip secret rotate flow.
-2. Paperclip creates a new AWS secret version with `PutSecretValue`.
-3. Paperclip records the new `providerVersionRef` in `company_secret_versions`.
-4. Re-run or restart affected workloads that consume `latest`, or pin consumers to a specific Paperclip version before rollout when you need staged release safety.
-
-Guidance:
-
-- Prefer pinned Paperclip secret versions for risky rollouts.
-- Treat provider-native automatic rotation as a later enhancement; current V1 flow is explicit create-new-version plus controlled rollout.
-
-## Backup And Restore Runbook
-
-What must survive:
-
-- Paperclip database metadata for secret ownership, bindings, status, and provider version refs.
-- AWS Secrets Manager namespace under the configured deployment prefix.
-- The configured KMS key and its decrypt permissions.
-
-Restore checklist:
-
-1. Restore Paperclip database metadata.
-2. Confirm the same AWS Secrets Manager namespace still exists.
-3. Confirm the Paperclip runtime role can call `GetSecretValue` on the restored prefix.
-4. Confirm the role still has decrypt access to the CMK referenced by `PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_KMS_KEY_ID`.
-5. Run the live smoke below or a targeted runtime secret resolution test.
-
-## Provider Outage Runbook
-
-Symptoms:
-
-- Secret create/rotate/resolve operations fail with AWS provider errors.
-- Agent runs fail before adapter invocation on required secret resolution.
-- Remote import preview fails to list AWS inventory.
-
-Immediate actions:
-
-1. Confirm AWS regional health and Secrets Manager availability.
-2. Confirm the runtime role still has `GetSecretValue` and KMS decrypt permissions.
-3. Check for accidental prefix, region, deployment id, or KMS key config drift.
-4. Retry a single resolution after AWS service health is green.
-5. If outage persists, pause high-risk runs that require secret access rather than churning retries.
-
-Remote import-specific actions:
-
-- Missing list permission: add `secretsmanager:ListSecrets` with
-  `Resource: "*"` only when inventory import is approved for that vault's
-  AWS account and Region.
-- Throttling: narrow the search, wait briefly, and retry with backoff. Avoid
-  full-account enumeration.
-- Invalid or stale cursor: refresh the preview and discard the old
-  `NextToken`.
-- Large account: load pages intentionally, keep one in-flight preview request
-  per vault/search, and do not run background full-account crawls.
-- Runtime read failure after import: verify `GetSecretValue` and KMS decrypt
-  on the selected external secret. Visibility in `ListSecrets` does not prove
-  read permission.
-
-## Incident Response Runbook
-
-Potential incidents:
-
-- Cross-company access caused by IAM scoping drift.
-- KMS policy drift causing decrypt failures or over-broad access.
-- Suspected secret exposure in logs, transcripts, or downstream agent output.
-
-Response steps:
-
-1. Stop or pause affected Paperclip runs.
-2. Audit recent Paperclip secret access events for impacted secret ids and consumers.
-3. Audit AWS CloudTrail for `ListSecrets`, `GetSecretValue`,
-   `PutSecretValue`, and `DeleteSecret` calls on the relevant vault account,
-   Region, deployment prefix, and approved external prefixes.
-4. Rotate impacted secrets in AWS through Paperclip-managed versioning.
-5. Re-scope IAM and KMS policies before resuming normal traffic.
-6. If a value may have reached an agent transcript or external system, treat it as exposed and rotate immediately.
-
-## Optional Live Smoke
-
-This is safe to skip locally. Run it only against a dedicated AWS test namespace.
-
-Prerequisites:
-
-- AWS credentials or workload identity with the deployment-scoped IAM permissions above.
-- `PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_PROVIDER=aws_secrets_manager`
-- The required `PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_AWS_*` environment variables set.
-
-Suggested smoke:
-
-1. Create a test secret through the Paperclip board or API under a throwaway company.
-2. Confirm the resulting AWS secret name matches `paperclip/{deploymentId}/{companyId}/{secretKey}`.
-3. Rotate the secret once and confirm a new `providerVersionRef` appears in Paperclip metadata.
-4. Resolve the secret through a bound runtime path, not by adding a general-purpose reveal endpoint.
-5. Delete the throwaway secret and confirm AWS schedules deletion with the configured recovery window.

-# Execution Semantics
-
-Status: Current implementation guide
-Date: 2026-04-26
-Audience: Product and engineering
-
-This document explains how Paperclip interprets issue assignment, issue status, execution runs, wakeups, parent/sub-issue structure, and blocker relationships.
-
-`doc/SPEC-implementation.md` remains the V1 contract. This document is the detailed execution model behind that contract.
-
-## 1. Core Model
-
-Paperclip separates four concepts that are easy to blur together:
-
-1. structure: parent/sub-issue relationships
-2. dependency: blocker relationships
-3. ownership: who is responsible for the issue now
-4. execution: whether the control plane currently has a live path to move the issue forward
-
-The system works best when those are kept separate.
-
-## 2. Assignee Semantics
-
-An issue has at most one assignee.
-
-- `assigneeAgentId` means the issue is owned by an agent
-- `assigneeUserId` means the issue is owned by a human board user
-- both cannot be set at the same time
-
-This is a hard invariant. Paperclip is single-assignee by design.
-
-## 3. Status Semantics
-
-Paperclip issue statuses are not just UI labels. They imply different expectations about ownership and execution.
-
-### `backlog`
-
-The issue is not ready for active work.
-
-- no execution expectation
-- no pickup expectation
-- safe resting state for future work
-
-### `todo`
-
-The issue is actionable but not actively claimed.
-
-- it may be assigned or unassigned
-- no checkout/execution lock is required yet
-- for agent-assigned work, Paperclip may still need a wake path to ensure the assignee actually sees it
-
-### `in_progress`
-
-The issue is actively owned work.
-
-- requires an assignee
-- for agent-owned issues, this is a strict execution-backed state
-- for user-owned issues, this is a human ownership state and is not backed by heartbeat execution
-
-For agent-owned issues, `in_progress` should not be allowed to become a silent dead state.
-
-### `blocked`
-
-The issue cannot proceed until something external changes.
-
-This is the right state for:
-
-- waiting on another issue
-- waiting on a human decision
-- waiting on an external dependency or system when Paperclip does not own a scheduled re-check
-- work that automatic recovery could not safely continue
-
-### `in_review`
-
-Execution work is paused because the next move belongs to a reviewer or approver, not the current executor.
-
-An external review service can also be a valid review path when the issue keeps an agent assignee and has an active one-shot monitor that will wake that assignee to check the service later.
-
-### `done`
-
-The work is complete and terminal.
-
-### `cancelled`
-
-The work will not continue and is terminal.
-
-## 4. Agent-Owned vs User-Owned Execution
-
-The execution model differs depending on assignee type.
-
-### Agent-owned issues
-
-Agent-owned issues are part of the control plane's execution loop.
-
-- Paperclip can wake the assignee
-- Paperclip can track runs linked to the issue
-- Paperclip can recover some lost execution state after crashes/restarts
-
-### User-owned issues
-
-User-owned issues are not executed by the heartbeat scheduler.
-
-- Paperclip can track the ownership and status
-- Paperclip cannot rely on heartbeat/run semantics to keep them moving
-- stranded-work reconciliation does not apply to them
-
-This is why `in_progress` can be strict for agents without forcing the same runtime rules onto human-held work.
-
-## 5. Checkout and Active Execution
-
-Checkout is the bridge from issue ownership to active agent execution.
-
-- checkout is required to move an issue into agent-owned `in_progress`
-- `checkoutRunId` represents issue-ownership lock for the current agent run
-- `executionRunId` represents the currently active execution path for the issue
-
-These are related but not identical:
-
-- `checkoutRunId` answers who currently owns execution rights for the issue
-- `executionRunId` answers which run is actually live right now
-
-Paperclip already clears stale execution locks and can adopt some stale checkout locks when the original run is gone.
-
-## 6. Parent/Sub-Issue vs Blockers
-
-Paperclip uses two different relationships for different jobs.
-
-### Parent/Sub-Issue (`parentId`)
-
-This is structural.
-
-Use it for:
-
-- work breakdown
-- rollup context
-- explaining why a child issue exists
-- waking the parent assignee when all direct children become terminal
-
-Do not treat `parentId` as execution dependency by itself.
-
-### Blockers (`blockedByIssueIds`)
-
-This is dependency semantics.
-
-Use it for:
-
-- \"this issue cannot continue until that issue changes state\"
-- explicit waiting relationships
-- automatic wakeups when all blockers resolve
-
-Blocked issues should stay idle while blockers remain unresolved. Paperclip should not create a queued heartbeat run for that issue until the final blocker is done and the `issue_blockers_resolved` wake can start real work.
-
-If a parent is truly waiting on a child, model that with blockers. Do not rely on the parent/child relationship alone.
-
-## 7. Non-Terminal Issue Liveness Contract
-
-For agent-owned, non-terminal issues, Paperclip should never leave work in a state where nobody is responsible for the next move and nothing will wake or surface it.
-
-This is a visibility contract, not an auto-completion contract. If Paperclip cannot safely infer the next action, it should surface the ambiguity with a blocked state, a visible notice, or an explicit recovery action. It must not silently mark work done from prose comments or guess that a dependency is complete.
-
-An issue is healthy when the product can answer "what moves this forward next?" without requiring a human to reconstruct intent from the whole thread. An issue is stalled when it is non-terminal but has no live execution path, no explicit waiting path, and no recovery path.
-
-The valid action-path primitives are:
-
-- an active run linked to the issue
-- a queued wake or continuation that can be delivered to the responsible agent
-- a typed execution-policy participant, such as `executionState.currentParticipant`
-- a pending issue-thread interaction or linked approval that is waiting for a specific responder
-- a one-shot issue monitor (`executionPolicy.monitor.nextCheckAt`) that will wake the assignee for a future check
-- a human owner via `assigneeUserId`
-- a first-class blocker chain whose unresolved leaf issues are themselves healthy
-- an open explicit recovery action that names the owner and action needed to restore liveness
-
-### Explicit recovery actions
-
-An explicit recovery action is a typed liveness repair path for a source issue. It is the recovery primitive; the action can be rendered directly on the source issue or backed by a separate recovery issue when the repair needs its own work item.
-
-A valid recovery action must name:
-
-- the source issue and company
-- the recovery kind and idempotency fingerprint
-- the recovery owner, plus previous or return owner when ownership may temporarily shift
-- the cause, bounded evidence, and next action
-- the wake, monitor, timeout, retry, or escalation policy that will move the action forward
-- the resolution outcome when closed, such as restored, delegated, false positive, blocked, escalated, or cancelled
-
-A source-scoped recovery action is the default form. Use it when the next safe move is to repair the source issue's liveness directly: restore a wake path, clarify disposition, re-establish a monitor, record a false positive, or delegate real follow-up work from the source issue.
-
-Use an issue-backed recovery action only when the recovery is genuinely independent work or when source-scoped handling would be unsafe or unclear. Examples include:
-
-- long or cross-agent repair work with its own assignee, subtasks, or blockers
-- real delegated follow-up that should block the source issue as a first-class dependency
-- active-run watchdog work that must observe a still-running source process without interfering with it
-- recovery that needs separate review, approval, security handling, or escalation ownership
-- cases where source issue ownership cannot be changed or restored safely
-
-A comment or system notice can be evidence for a recovery action, but it is not a recovery action by itself. Comment-only recovery is not a healthy liveness path because it does not define a typed owner, wake or monitor policy, retry bound, timeout, escalation path, or resolution outcome.
-
-### Agent-assigned `todo`
-
-This is dispatch state: ready to start, not yet actively claimed.
-
-A healthy dispatch state means at least one of these is true:
-
-- the issue already has a queued wake path
-- the issue is intentionally resting in `todo` after a completed agent heartbeat, with no interrupted dispatch evidence
-- the issue has been explicitly surfaced as stranded through a visible blocked/recovery path
-
-An assigned `todo` issue is stalled when dispatch was interrupted, no wake remains queued or running, and no recovery path has been opened.
-
-### Agent-assigned `backlog`
-
-This is parked state, not dispatch state.
-
-Assigning an issue normally implies executable intent. When create APIs receive an assignee and no explicit status, Paperclip defaults the issue to `todo` so the assignee has a wake path instead of silently inheriting the unassigned `backlog` default.
-
-An explicit assigned `backlog` issue remains valid when the creator is deliberately parking the work. It must not wake the assignee just because it has an assignee. Paperclip should make that choice visible in activity and UI so operators can distinguish intentional parking from a missed handoff.
-
-An assigned `backlog` issue becomes a liveness problem when another issue is blocked on it and there is no explicit waiting path such as a human owner, active run, queued wake, pending interaction or approval, monitor, or open recovery action. In that case the blocked parent should surface "blocked by parked work" rather than treating the dependency chain as healthy.
-
-### Agent-assigned `in_progress`
-
-This is active-work state.
-
-A healthy active-work state means at least one of these is true:
-
-- there is an active run for the issue
-- there is already a queued continuation wake
-- there is an active one-shot monitor that will wake the assignee for a future check
-- there is an open explicit recovery action for the lost execution path
-
-An agent-owned `in_progress` issue is stalled when it has no active run, no queued continuation, and no explicit recovery surface. A still-running but silent process is not automatically stalled; it is handled by the active-run watchdog contract.
-
-### `in_review`
-
-This is review/approval state: execution is paused because the next move belongs to a reviewer, approver, board user, or recovery owner.
-
-A healthy `in_review` issue has at least one valid action path:
-
-- a typed execution-policy participant who can approve or request changes
-- a pending issue-thread interaction or linked approval waiting for a named responder
-- a human owner via `assigneeUserId`
-- an active run or queued wake that is expected to process the review state
-- an active one-shot monitor for an external service or async review loop that the assignee owns
-- an open explicit recovery action for an ambiguous review handoff
-
-Agent-assigned `in_review` with no typed participant is only healthy when one of the other paths exists. Assignment to the same agent that produced the handoff is not, by itself, a review path.
-
-An `in_review` issue is stalled when it has no typed participant, no pending interaction or approval, no user owner, no active monitor, no active run, no queued wake, and no explicit recovery action. Paperclip should surface that state as recovery work rather than silently completing the issue or leaving blocker chains parked indefinitely.
-
-### Issue monitors
-
-An issue monitor is a one-shot deferred action path for agent-owned issues in `in_progress` or `in_review`.
-
-Use a monitor when the current assignee owns a future check against an async system or external service. Examples include Greptile review loops, GitHub checks, Vercel deployments, or provider jobs where the agent should come back later and decide what happens next.
-
-Monitor policy lives under `executionPolicy.monitor` and includes:
-
-- `nextCheckAt`: when Paperclip should wake the assignee
-- `notes`: non-secret instructions for what the assignee should check
-- `serviceName`: optional non-secret external-service context
-- `externalRef`: optional external-service reference input; Paperclip treats it as secret-adjacent, redacts it before persistence/visibility, and omits it from activity and wake payloads
-- `timeoutAt`, `maxAttempts`, and `recoveryPolicy`: optional recovery hints for bounded waits
-
-Monitors are not recurring intervals. When a monitor fires, Paperclip clears the scheduled monitor and queues an `issue_monitor_due` wake for the assignee. If the external service is still pending, the assignee must explicitly re-arm the monitor with a new `nextCheckAt`. If the issue moves to `done`, `cancelled`, an invalid status, or a human/unassigned owner, the monitor is cleared.
-
-Because `serviceName` and `notes` remain visible in issue activity and wake context, operators should keep them short and non-secret. Put enough context for the assignee to know what to inspect, but do not include signed URLs, bearer tokens, customer secrets, tenant-private identifiers, or provider links with embedded credentials.
-
-Monitor bounds are enforced. Paperclip rejects attempts to re-arm a monitor whose `timeoutAt` or `maxAttempts` is already exhausted. When a scheduled monitor reaches an exhausted bound at trigger time, Paperclip clears it and follows `recoveryPolicy`: `wake_owner` queues a bounded recovery wake for the assignee, `create_recovery_issue` opens visible issue-backed recovery work, and `escalate_to_board` records a board-visible escalation comment/activity.
-
-Use `blocked` instead of a monitor when no Paperclip assignee owns a responsible polling path. In that case, name the external owner/action or create first-class recovery/blocker work.
-
-### `blocked`
-
-This is explicit waiting state.
-
-A healthy `blocked` issue has an explicit waiting path:
-
-- first-class blockers exist, and each unresolved leaf has a valid action path under this contract
-- the issue has an explicit recovery action that itself has a live or waiting path
-- the issue is waiting on a pending interaction, linked approval, human owner, or clearly named external owner/action
-
-A blocker chain is covered only when its unresolved leaf is live or explicitly waiting. An intermediate `blocked` issue does not make the chain healthy by itself.
-
-A `blocked` issue is stalled when the unresolved blocker leaf has no active run, queued wake, typed participant, pending interaction or approval, user owner, external owner/action, or recovery action. In that case the parent should show the first stalled leaf instead of presenting the dependency as calmly covered.
-
-## 8. Crash and Restart Recovery
-
-Paperclip now treats crash/restart recovery as a stranded-assigned-work problem, not just a stranded-run problem.
-
-There are two distinct failure modes.
-
-### 8.1 Stranded assigned `todo`
-
-Example:
-
-- issue is assigned to an agent
-- status is `todo`
-- the original wake/run died during or after dispatch
-- after restart there is no queued wake and nothing picks the issue back up
-
-Recovery rule:
-
-- if the latest issue-linked run failed/timed out/cancelled and no live execution path remains, Paperclip queues one automatic assignment recovery wake
-- if that recovery wake also finishes and the issue is still stranded, Paperclip moves the issue to `blocked` and opens or updates an explicit recovery action when a bounded owner/action is known; the visible comment is evidence, not the recovery path by itself
-
-This is a dispatch recovery, not a continuation recovery.
-
-### 8.2 Stranded assigned `in_progress`
-
-Example:
-
-- issue is assigned to an agent
-- status is `in_progress`
-- the live run disappeared
-- after restart there is no active run and no queued continuation
-
-Recovery rule:
-
-- Paperclip queues one automatic continuation wake
-- if that continuation wake also finishes and the issue is still stranded, Paperclip moves the issue to `blocked` and opens or updates an explicit recovery action when a bounded owner/action is known; the visible comment is evidence, not the recovery path by itself
-
-This is an active-work continuity recovery.
-
-## 9. Startup and Periodic Reconciliation
-
-Startup recovery and periodic recovery are different from normal wakeup delivery.
-
-On startup and on the periodic recovery loop, Paperclip now does four things in sequence:
-
-1. reap orphaned `running` runs
-2. resume persisted `queued` runs
-3. reconcile stranded assigned work
-4. scan silent active runs and create or update explicit watchdog recovery actions
-
-The stranded-work pass closes the gap where issue state survives a crash but the wake/run path does not. The silent-run scan covers the separate case where a live process exists but has stopped producing observable output.
-
-## 10. Silent Active-Run Watchdog
-
-An active run can still be unhealthy even when its process is `running`. Paperclip treats prolonged output silence as a watchdog signal, not as proof that the run is failed.
-
-The recovery service owns this contract:
-
-- classify active-run output silence as `ok`, `suspicious`, `critical`, `snoozed`, or `not_applicable`
-- collect bounded evidence from run logs, recent run events, child issues, and blockers
-- preserve redaction and truncation before evidence is written to issue descriptions
-- create at most one open watchdog recovery action per run; issue-backed implementations use `stale_active_run_evaluation` issues
-- honor active snooze decisions before creating more review work
-- build the `outputSilence` summary shown by live-run and active-run API responses
-
-Suspicious silence creates a medium-priority watchdog recovery action for the selected recovery owner. Critical silence raises that recovery action to high priority and, when issue-backed evaluation is needed for correctness, blocks the source issue on the explicit evaluation task without cancelling the active process.
-
-Watchdog decisions are explicit operator/recovery-owner decisions:
-
-- `snooze` records an operator-chosen future quiet-until time and suppresses scan-created review work during that window
-- `continue` records that the current evidence is acceptable, does not cancel or mutate the active run, and sets a 30-minute default re-arm window before the watchdog evaluates the still-silent run again
-- `dismissed_false_positive` records why the review was not actionable
-
-Operators should prefer `snooze` for known time-bounded quiet periods. `continue` is only a short acknowledgement of the current evidence; if the run remains silent after the re-arm window, the periodic watchdog scan can create or update review work again.
-
-The board can record watchdog decisions. The assigned owner of an issue-backed watchdog evaluation can also record them. Other agents cannot.
-
-## 11. Auto-Recover vs Explicit Recovery vs Human Escalation
-
-Paperclip uses three different recovery outcomes, depending on how much it can safely infer.
-
-### Auto-Recover
-
-Auto-recovery is allowed when ownership is clear and the control plane only lost execution continuity.
-
-Examples:
-
-- requeue one dispatch wake for an assigned `todo` issue whose latest run failed, timed out, or was cancelled
-- requeue one continuation wake for an assigned `in_progress` issue whose live execution path disappeared
-- assign an orphan blocker back to its creator when that blocker is already preventing other work
-
-Auto-recovery preserves the existing owner. It does not choose a replacement agent.
-
-### Explicit Recovery Action
-
-Paperclip opens an explicit recovery action when the system can identify a problem but cannot safely complete the work itself.
-
-Examples:
-
-- automatic stranded-work retry was already exhausted
-- a dependency graph has an invalid/uninvokable owner, unassigned blocker, or invalid review participant
-- an active run is silent past the watchdog threshold
-
-The recovery action stays source-scoped by default. The source issue should show the recovery owner, cause, evidence, next action, and wake or monitor policy in its own thread/detail surface.
-
-Create an issue-backed recovery action only when a separate issue is the right execution object. In that fallback form, the source issue remains visible and is blocked on the recovery issue when blocking is necessary for correctness. The recovery owner must restore a live path, resolve the source issue manually, delegate real follow-up work, or record the reason the signal is a false positive.
-
-Instance-level issue-graph liveness auto-recovery is disabled by default. When enabled, its lookback window means "dependency paths updated within the last N hours"; older findings remain advisory and are counted as outside the configured lookback instead of creating recovery actions automatically. This is an operator noise control, not the older staleness delay for determining whether a chain is old enough to surface.
-
-### Human Escalation
-
-Human escalation is required when the next safe action depends on board judgment, budget/approval policy, or information unavailable to the control plane.
-
-Examples:
-
-- all candidate recovery owners are paused, terminated, pending approval, or budget-blocked
-- the issue is human-owned rather than agent-owned
-- the run is intentionally quiet but needs an operator decision before cancellation or continuation
-
-In these cases Paperclip should leave a visible issue/comment trail instead of silently retrying.
-
-## 12. What This Does Not Mean
-
-These semantics do not change V1 into an auto-reassignment system.
-
-Paperclip still does not:
-
-- automatically reassign work to a different agent
-- infer dependency semantics from `parentId` alone
-- treat human-held work as heartbeat-managed execution
-
-The recovery model is intentionally conservative:
-
-- preserve ownership
-- retry once when the control plane lost execution continuity
-- open an explicit recovery action when the system can identify a bounded recovery owner/action
-- escalate visibly when the system cannot safely keep going
-
-## 13. Practical Interpretation
-
-For a board operator, the intended meaning is:
-
-- agent-owned `in_progress` should mean \"this is live work or clearly surfaced as a problem\"
-- agent-owned `todo` should not stay assigned forever after a crash with no remaining wake path
-- parent/sub-issue explains structure
-- blockers explain waiting
-
-That is the execution contract Paperclip should present to operators.

-## Lessons From AWS AgentCore Memory API
-
-AWS AgentCore Memory is a useful check on whether this plan is too abstract or missing important operational surfaces.
-
-The broad direction still looks right:
-
-- AWS splits memory into a control plane (`CreateMemory`, `UpdateMemory`, `ListMemories`) and a data plane (`CreateEvent`, `RetrieveMemoryRecords`, `GetMemoryRecord`, `ListMemoryRecords`)
-- AWS separates raw interaction capture from curated long-term memory records
-- AWS supports both provider-managed extraction and self-managed pipelines
-- AWS treats browse and list operations as first-class APIs, not ad hoc debugging helpers
-- AWS exposes extraction jobs instead of hiding asynchronous maintenance completely
-
-That lines up with the Paperclip plan at a high level: provider configuration, scoped writes, scoped retrieval, provider-managed extraction as a capability, and a browse and inspect surface.
-
-The concrete changes Paperclip should take from AWS are:
-
-### 1. Keep config APIs separate from runtime traffic
-
-The rollout should preserve a clean separation between:
-
-- control-plane APIs for binding CRUD, defaults, overrides, and capability metadata
-- runtime APIs and tools for capture, record writes, query, list, get, forget, and extraction status
-
-This keeps governance changes distinct from high-volume memory traffic.
-
-### 2. Distinguish capture from curated record writes
-
-AWS does not flatten everything into one write primitive. It distinguishes captured events from durable memory records.
-
-Paperclip should do the same:
-
-- `capture(...)` for raw run, comment, document, or activity residue
-- `upsertRecords(...)` for curated durable facts and notes
-
-That is a better fit for provider-managed extraction and for manual curation flows.
-
-### 3. Make list and browse first-class
-
-AWS exposes list and retrieve surfaces directly. Paperclip should not make browse optional at the portable layer.
-
-The minimum portable surface should include:
-
-- `query`
-- `list`
-- `get`
-
-Provider-native graph or file browsing can remain optional beyond that.
-
-### 4. Add pagination and cursors for operator inspection
-
-AWS consistently uses pagination on browse-heavy APIs.
-
-Paperclip should add cursor-based pagination to:
-
-- record listing
-- extraction job listing
-- memory operation explorer APIs
-
-Prompt hydration can continue to use `topK`, but operator surfaces need cursors.
-
-### 5. Add explicit session and namespace hints
-
-AWS uses `actorId`, `sessionId`, `namespace`, and `memoryStrategyId` heavily.
-
-Paperclip should keep its own control-plane-centric model, but the adapter contract needs obvious places to map those concepts:
-
-- `sessionKey`
-- `namespace`
-
-The provider adapter can map them to AWS or other vendor-specific identifiers without leaking those identifiers into core.
-
-### 6. Treat asynchronous extraction as a real operational surface
-
-AWS exposes extraction jobs explicitly. Paperclip should too.
-
-Operators should be able to see:
-
-- pending extraction work
-- failed extraction work
-- which hook or source caused the work
-- whether a retry is available
-
-### 7. Keep Paperclip provenance primary
-
-Paperclip should continue to center:
-
-- `companyId`
-- `agentId`
-- `projectId`
-- `issueId`
-- `runId`
-- issue comments, documents, and activity as sources
-
-The lesson from AWS is to support clean mapping into provider-specific models, not to let provider identifiers take over the core product model.

-Every memory action should create a normalized operation record that captures:

-- usage details reported by the provider
-- attribution mode
-- related run, issue, and agent when available

-This is where operators answer "what memory work happened and why?"
-
-### 2. `cost_events` remains the canonical spend ledger for billable metered usage
-
-The current `cost_events` model is already the canonical cost ledger for token and model spend, and `agent_runtime_state` plus `heartbeat_runs.usageJson` already roll up and summarize run usage.
-
-The recommendation is:
-
-- if a memory operation runs inside a normal Paperclip agent heartbeat and the model usage is already counted on that run, do not create a duplicate `cost_event`
-- instead, store the memory operation with `attributionMode = "included_in_run"` and link it to the related `heartbeatRunId`
-- if a memory provider makes a direct metered model call outside the agent run accounting path, the provider must report usage and Paperclip should create a `cost_event`
-- that direct `cost_event` should still link back to the memory operation, agent, company, and issue or run context when possible
-
-### 3. `finance_events` should carry flat subscription or invoice-style costs
-
-If a memory service incurs:
-
-- monthly subscription cost
-- storage invoices

-- What default retention and size limits should the local built-in enforce?
+- Should project overrides exist in V1 of the memory service, or should we force company default + agent override first?
+- Do we want Paperclip-managed extraction pipelines at all, or should built-ins be the only place where Paperclip owns extraction?
+- Should memory usage extend the current `cost_events` model directly, or should memory operations keep a parallel usage log and roll up into `cost_events` secondarily?
+- Do we want provider install / binding changes to require approvals for some companies?
 
 ## Bottom Line
 
 The right abstraction is:
 
-- Paperclip owns bindings, resolution, hooks, provenance, policy, and attribution.
+- Paperclip owns memory bindings, scopes, provenance, governance, and usage reporting.
 - Providers own extraction, ranking, storage, and provider-native memory semantics.
 
-That gives Paperclip a stable memory service without locking the product to one memory philosophy or one vendor, and it integrates the AWS lessons without importing AWS's model into core.
+That gives Paperclip a stable "memory service" without locking the product to one memory philosophy or one vendor.

-# VS Code Task Interoperability Plan
-
-Status: planning only, no code changes
-Date: 2026-04-12
-Related issue: `PAP-1377`
-
-## Summary
-
-Paperclip should not replace its workspace runtime service model with VS Code tasks.
-It should add a narrow interoperability layer that can discover and adopt supported entries from `.vscode/tasks.json`.
-
-The core product model should stay:
-
-- Paperclip owns long-running workspace services and their desired state
-- Paperclip shows operators exactly which named thing they are starting or stopping
-- Paperclip distinguishes long-running services from one-shot jobs
-
-VS Code tasks should be treated as:
-
-- an import/discovery format for workspace commands
-- a convenience for repos that already maintain `tasks.json`
-- a partial compatibility layer, not a full execution model
-
-## Current State
-
-The current implementation is already service-oriented:
-
-- project workspaces and execution workspaces can store `workspaceRuntime` config plus `desiredState` and per-service `serviceStates`
-- the UI renders one control row per configured service and persists start/stop intent
-- the backend supervises long-running local processes, reuses eligible services, and restores desired services on startup
-
-Relevant files:
-
-- `packages/shared/src/types/workspace-runtime.ts`
-- `server/src/services/workspace-runtime.ts`
-- `server/src/services/project-workspace-runtime-config.ts`
-- `ui/src/components/WorkspaceRuntimeControls.tsx`
-- `ui/src/pages/ProjectWorkspaceDetail.tsx`
-- `ui/src/pages/ExecutionWorkspaceDetail.tsx`
-
-This is directionally correct for Paperclip because it gives the control plane an explicit model for service lifecycle, health, reuse, and restart behavior.
-
-## Problem To Solve
-
-The current UX is still too raw:
-
-- operators have to hand-author runtime JSON
-- a workspace can have multiple attached services, but the higher-level intent is not obvious
-- start/stop controls are visible in multiple places, which makes it easy to lose track of what is being controlled
-- there is no interoperability with repos that already define useful local workflows in `.vscode/tasks.json`
-
-The issue is not that services are the wrong abstraction.
-The issue is that the configuration surface is too low-level and Paperclip does not yet leverage existing workspace metadata.
-
-## Recommendation
-
-Keep Paperclip runtime services as the source of truth for service supervision.
-Add a new workspace command model above the raw JSON layer, with VS Code task discovery as one input.
-
-The product model should become:
-
-1. `Workspace command`
-   A named runnable thing attached to a workspace.
-
-2. `Workspace service`
-   A workspace command that is expected to stay alive and be supervised.
-
-3. `Workspace job`
-   A workspace command that runs once and exits.
-
-4. `Runtime service instance`
-   The live process record that already exists today in Paperclip.
-
-In that model, VS Code tasks are a way to populate workspace commands.
-Only commands that map cleanly to Paperclip service or job semantics should become runnable in Paperclip.
-
-## Why Not Fully Adopt VS Code Tasks
-
-VS Code tasks are broader than Paperclip runtime services.
-They include shell/process tasks, compound tasks, background/watch tasks, presentation settings, extension/task-provider types, variable substitution, and problem-matcher-driven lifecycle.
-
-That creates a bad fit if Paperclip tries to use `tasks.json` as its only runtime model:
-
-- many tasks are one-shot jobs, not long-running services
-- some tasks depend on VS Code task providers or editor-only variable resolution
-- compound task graphs are useful, but they are not the same thing as a supervised service
-- problem matcher readiness is useful metadata, but it is not enough to replace Paperclip's persisted service lifecycle model
-
-The right boundary is interoperability, not replacement.
-
-## Interoperability Contract
-
-Paperclip should support a conservative subset of VS Code tasks and clearly mark unsupported entries.
-
-### Supported in phase 1
-
-- `shell` and `process` tasks with a concrete command Paperclip can resolve
-- optional task `options.cwd`
-- optional task environment values that can be flattened safely
-- task labels and detail text for naming and display
-- `dependsOn` for import-time expansion or display-only dependency hints
-- background/watch-oriented tasks that can reasonably be treated as long-running services
-
-### Maybe supported in later phases
-
-- grouping and default task metadata for better UX
-- selected variable substitution when Paperclip can resolve it safely from workspace context
-- mapping task metadata into Paperclip readiness/expose hints
-- limited compound-task launch flows
-
-### Not supported initially
-
-- extension-provided task types Paperclip cannot execute directly
-- arbitrary VS Code variable substitution semantics
-- problem matcher parsing as the main source of service health
-- full parity with VS Code task execution behavior
-
-## Long-Running Service Detection
-
-Paperclip needs an explicit classification layer instead of assuming every VS Code task is a service.
-
-Recommended classification:
-
-- `service`
-  Explicitly marked by Paperclip metadata, or confidently inferred from background/watch task semantics
-
-- `job`
-  One-shot command expected to exit
-
-- `unsupported`
-  Present in `tasks.json`, but not safely runnable by Paperclip
-
-The important product decision is that service classification must be visible and editable by the operator.
-Inference can help, but it should not be the only source of truth.
-
-## Proposed Product Shape
-
-### 1. Replace raw-first editing with command-first editing
-
-Project and execution workspace pages should stop making raw runtime JSON the primary editing surface.
-
-Default UI should show:
-
-- workspace commands
-- command type: service or job
-- source: Paperclip or VS Code
-- exact command and cwd
-- current state for services
-- explicit start, stop, restart, and run-now actions
-
-Raw JSON should remain available behind an advanced section.
-
-### 2. Add VS Code task discovery on workspaces
-
-For a workspace with `cwd`, Paperclip should look for `.vscode/tasks.json`.
-
-The workspace UI should show:
-
-- whether a `tasks.json` file was found
-- last parse time
-- supported commands discovered
-- unsupported tasks with reasons
-- whether commands are inherited into execution workspaces
-
-### 3. Make the controlled thing explicit
-
-Start and stop UI should always name the exact entry being controlled.
-
-Examples:
-
-- `Start web`
-- `Stop api`
-- `Run db:migrate`
-
-Avoid generic workspace-level labels when multiple commands exist.
-
-### 4. Separate services from jobs in the UI
-
-Do not mix one-shot jobs and long-running services into one undifferentiated list.
-
-Recommended sections:
-
-- `Services`
-- `Jobs`
-- `Unsupported imported tasks`
-
-That resolves the ambiguity called out in the issue.
-
-## Data Model Direction
-
-Do not replace `workspaceRuntime` immediately.
-Instead add a higher-level representation that can compile down to the existing runtime-service machinery.
-
-Suggested workspace metadata shape:
-
-```ts
-type WorkspaceCommandSource =
-  | { type: "paperclip" }
-  | { type: "vscode_task"; taskLabel: string; taskPath: ".vscode/tasks.json" };
-
-type WorkspaceCommandKind = "service" | "job";
-
-type WorkspaceCommandDefinition = {
-  id: string;
-  name: string;
-  kind: WorkspaceCommandKind;
-  source: WorkspaceCommandSource;
-  command: string | null;
-  cwd: string | null;
-  env?: Record<string, string> | null;
-  autoStart?: boolean;
-  serviceConfig?: {
-    lifecycle?: "shared" | "ephemeral";
-    reuseScope?: "project_workspace" | "execution_workspace" | "run";
-    readiness?: Record<string, unknown> | null;
-    expose?: Record<string, unknown> | null;
-  } | null;
-  importWarnings?: string[];
-  disabledReason?: string | null;
-};
-```
-
-`workspaceRuntime` can then become a derived or advanced representation for service-type commands until the rest of the system is migrated.
-
-## VS Code Mapping Rules
-
-Paperclip should map imported tasks with explicit, documented rules.
-
-Recommended rules:
-
-1. A task becomes a `job` by default.
-2. A task becomes a `service` only when:
-   - Paperclip metadata marks it as a service, or
-   - the task clearly represents a background/watch process and the operator confirms the classification.
-3. Unsupported tasks stay visible but disabled.
-4. Task labels become default command names.
-5. `dependsOn` is preserved as metadata, not silently flattened into hidden behavior.
-
-Paperclip-specific metadata can live in a namespaced field on the imported task definition, for example:
-
-```json
-{
-  "label": "web",
-  "type": "shell",
-  "command": "pnpm dev",
-  "isBackground": true,
-  "paperclip": {
-    "kind": "service",
-    "readiness": {
-      "type": "http",
-      "urlTemplate": "http://127.0.0.1:${port}"
-    },
-    "expose": {
-      "type": "url",
-      "urlTemplate": "http://127.0.0.1:${port}"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-That gives us interoperability without depending on VS Code-only semantics for service readiness and exposure.
-
-## Execution Policy
-
-Project workspaces should be the main place where imported commands are discovered and curated.
-Execution workspaces should inherit that curated command set by default, with optional issue-level overrides.
-
-Recommended precedence:
-
-1. execution workspace override
-2. project workspace command set
-3. imported VS Code tasks from the linked workspace
-4. advanced raw runtime fallback
-
-This matches the existing direction in `doc/plans/2026-03-10-workspace-strategy-and-git-worktrees.md`.
-
-## Implementation Plan
-
-### Phase 1: Discovery and read-only visibility
-
-Goal:
-show imported VS Code tasks in the workspace UI without changing runtime behavior.
-
-Work:
-
-- parse `.vscode/tasks.json` for project workspaces with local `cwd`
-- derive a list of candidate commands plus unsupported items
-- show source, label, command, cwd, and classification
-- show parse warnings and unsupported reasons
-
-Success condition:
-an operator can see what Paperclip would import and why.
-
-### Phase 2: Command model and explicit classification
-
-Goal:
-introduce a first-class workspace command layer above raw runtime JSON.
-
-Work:
-
-- add a persisted command definition model in workspace metadata or a dedicated table
-- allow operator edits to imported command classification
-- separate `service` and `job` in UI
-- keep existing runtime-service storage for live supervised processes
-
-Success condition:
-the workspace UI is command-first, and raw runtime JSON is advanced-only.
-
-### Phase 3: Service execution backed by existing runtime supervisor
-
-Goal:
-run supported imported service commands through the current Paperclip supervisor.
-
-Work:
-
-- compile service commands into the existing runtime service start/stop path
-- persist desired state per named command
-- keep startup restoration behavior for service commands
-- make the active command name explicit everywhere control actions appear
-
-Success condition:
-imported service commands behave like native Paperclip services once adopted.
-
-### Phase 4: Job execution and optional dependency handling
-
-Goal:
-support one-shot imported commands without pretending they are services.
-
-Work:
-
-- add `Run` actions for jobs
-- record output in workspace operations
-- optionally support simple `dependsOn` execution for jobs with clear logging
-
-Success condition:
-one-shot tasks are runnable, but they are not mixed into the service lifecycle model.
-
-### Phase 5: Adapter and execution workspace integration
-
-Goal:
-let agents and issue-scoped workspaces consume the curated command model consistently.
-
-Work:
-
-- expose inherited workspace commands to execution workspaces
-- allow issue-level selection of a default service command when relevant
-- make service selection explicit in issue and workspace views
-
-Success condition:
-agents, operators, and workspaces all refer to the same named commands.
-
-## Non-Goals
-
-- full VS Code task-runner parity
-- support for every VS Code task type
-- removal of Paperclip's own runtime supervision model
-- editor-dependent execution semantics inside the control plane
-
-## Risks
-
-- overfitting Paperclip to VS Code and making the model worse for non-VS-Code repos
-- misclassifying watch tasks as durable services
-- hiding too much detail and making debugging harder
-- allowing imported task graphs to become implicit magic
-
-These risks are manageable if the import layer stays explicit, conservative, and operator-editable.
-
-## Decision
-
-Paperclip should adopt VS Code tasks as an optional workspace command source, not as the canonical runtime model.
-
-The main UX change should be:
-
-- move from raw runtime JSON to named workspace commands
-- separate services from jobs
-- make the exact controlled command explicit
-- let `.vscode/tasks.json` pre-populate those commands when available

-# Plugin Secret Refs: Company Scope Reintroduction Plan
-
-Date: 2026-04-26
-Status: follow-up after fail-closed mitigation
-Related issue: PAP-2394
-
-## Current state
-
-`PAP-2394` now fails closed:
-
-- `POST /api/plugins/:pluginId/config` rejects any config containing plugin secret refs.
-- `ctx.secrets.resolve()` is disabled for plugin workers.
-
-This removes the release-blocking cross-company exposure path, but it also disables plugin secret-ref support until the runtime carries company scope end to end.
-
-## Vulnerability summary
-
-The original design mixed an instance-global config store with company-scoped secret bindings:
-
-- [server/src/routes/plugins.ts](/Users/dotta/paperclip/.paperclip/worktrees/PAP-2339-secrets-make-a-plan/server/src/routes/plugins.ts:1898) saved one global plugin config row, then wrote bindings into `company_secret_bindings` grouped by each referenced secret's owning company.
-- [packages/db/src/schema/plugin_config.ts](/Users/dotta/paperclip/.paperclip/worktrees/PAP-2339-secrets-make-a-plan/packages/db/src/schema/plugin_config.ts:15) stored one config row per plugin, with no company dimension.
-- [packages/db/src/schema/company_secret_bindings.ts](/Users/dotta/paperclip/.paperclip/worktrees/PAP-2339-secrets-make-a-plan/packages/db/src/schema/company_secret_bindings.ts:5) already modeled bindings as company-scoped.
-- [server/src/services/plugin-secrets-handler.ts](/Users/dotta/paperclip/.paperclip/worktrees/PAP-2339-secrets-make-a-plan/server/src/services/plugin-secrets-handler.ts:212) resolved by `pluginId` + secret UUID, with no active company context from the bridge call.
-- [packages/plugins/sdk/src/worker-rpc-host.ts](/Users/dotta/paperclip/.paperclip/worktrees/PAP-2339-secrets-make-a-plan/packages/plugins/sdk/src/worker-rpc-host.ts:384) exposed `ctx.config.get()` and `ctx.secrets.resolve()` without a company parameter.
-
-This violated Least Privilege, Complete Mediation, and Secure Defaults.
-
-## Recommended end state
-
-Re-enable plugin secret refs only after both of these are true:
-
-1. Plugin config reads/writes are company-scoped.
-2. Runtime secret resolution carries explicit company context and enforces it at resolution time.
-
-## Implementation plan
-
-### 1. Make plugin config company-scoped
-
-- Add `company_id` to `plugin_config`, with a unique index on `(plugin_id, company_id)`.
-- Update registry helpers to require `companyId` for `getConfig`, `upsertConfig`, `patchConfig`, and `deleteConfig`.
-- Update plugin config routes to require `companyId` and call `assertCompanyAccess(req, companyId)`.
-- Keep instance-global plugin lifecycle state separate from company-scoped plugin config.
-
-### 2. Propagate company context through the worker runtime
-
-- Extend the SDK so `ctx.config.get()` and `ctx.secrets.resolve()` can receive or derive `companyId`.
-- Introduce worker request context storage for handlers that already run with company scope:
-  - `getData`
-  - `performAction`
-  - scoped API routes
-  - tool executions
-  - environment driver calls
-- Fail closed when plugin code tries to read company-scoped config or secrets outside an active company context.
-
-### 3. Rebind secrets by `(companyId, pluginId, configPath)`
-
-- On config save, validate every referenced secret belongs to the authorized company.
-- Store bindings only for that company.
-- Resolve secrets only by the current company-scoped binding, never by bare plugin ID plus UUID.
-- Treat stale bindings as invalid and remove them on config replacement.
-
-### 4. Prevent cross-company config disclosure
-
-- When returning config to the UI, only materialize the selected company's secret refs.
-- Never expose another company's secret UUIDs through the global plugin config surface.
-
-## Required regression coverage
-
-- Company A board user cannot save plugin config that references a Company B secret.
-- Company A plugin execution cannot resolve a Company B secret even if the same plugin is configured for Company B.
-- Company-scoped config reads only return the selected company's secret bindings.
-- Config replacement removes stale bindings for the same `(companyId, pluginId)` target.
-- Runtime calls without company context fail closed.
-
-## Migration notes
-
-- Existing `plugin_config` rows need a migration strategy before re-enable.
-- Safest default: do not auto-assume a company for historical secret refs.
-- Prefer one of:
-  - explicit admin migration per company, or
-  - import existing rows as non-secret config only and require re-entry of secret refs.
-
-## Release posture
-
-- Keep plugin secret refs disabled until all steps above land.
-- Do not restore the feature behind a soft warning; the insecure path must remain unavailable by default.

-# LLM Wiki Paperclip Asset And Work-Product Security Gate
-
-Status: accepted Phase 5 policy
-Date: 2026-05-06
-Owner: Security engineering
-Scope: Paperclip-derived ingestion into the LLM Wiki before any asset or work-product content indexing ships
-
-## Decision
-
-Phase 5 remains **fail-closed** for Paperclip assets and work products.
-
-- Paperclip-derived **text extraction is allowed only** for issue titles/descriptions, issue comments, and issue documents.
-- Paperclip **assets/attachments** and **issue work products** are **metadata-only** in Phase 5.
-- **Linked summaries** and **content extraction** for assets/work products are **not approved** in Phase 5.
-- No implementation may fetch `/api/assets/:id/content`, dereference a work-product `url`, scrape preview pages, or embed binary/blob content into source bundles or source snapshots.
-
-This keeps the secure path easier than the insecure one and avoids broadening the wiki into a second content-distribution channel.
-
-## Allowed Source Kinds
-
-These source kinds may contribute body text to Paperclip-derived source bundles:
-
-| Source kind | Allowed body fields | Reason |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| Issue | `title`, `description`, identifier/status metadata | First-party Paperclip text under company ACL |
-| Comment | `body` | First-party Paperclip text under company ACL |
-| Document | `body`, `title`, `key`, revision metadata | First-party Paperclip text under company ACL |
-
-## Assets And Work Products
-
-### Assets / attachments
-
-Allowed in Phase 5:
-
-- metadata-only references built from allowlisted structured fields already stored in Paperclip
-- recommended fields: `issueId`, `issueCommentId`, `attachmentId`, `assetId`, `originalFilename`, `contentType`, `byteSize`, `sha256`, `createdAt`, `createdByAgentId`, `createdByUserId`
-
-Disallowed in Phase 5:
-
-- fetching asset bytes from `/api/assets/:id/content`
-- parsing any blob body, including `text/plain`, `text/markdown`, `application/json`, images, SVG, PDFs, archives, or office formats
-- storing `contentPath` in wiki source bundles or source snapshots
-- model summarization of attachment bodies
-
-### Work products
-
-Allowed in Phase 5:
-
-- metadata-only references built from allowlisted structured fields already stored in Paperclip
-- recommended fields: `issueId`, `workProductId`, `type`, `provider`, `title`, `status`, `reviewState`, `healthStatus`, `externalId`, `isPrimary`, `createdAt`, `updatedAt`
-- optional boolean/derived metadata such as `hasUrl: true`
-
-Disallowed in Phase 5:
-
-- fetching or crawling the work-product `url`
-- scraping preview pages, artifacts, pull requests, branches, commits, or custom provider targets through the wiki ingestion path
-- storing raw `url` values in wiki source bundles or source snapshots
-- model-authored linked summaries derived from off-record content
-
-## MIME Allowlists And Size Caps
-
-No MIME allowlist is approved for asset content extraction in Phase 5 because **no asset body extraction is approved at all**.
-
-- Every asset MIME type is treated as opaque for Paperclip-derived indexing.
-- Existing upload limits remain storage concerns, not ingestion approvals.
-- Work-product destinations are also opaque regardless of MIME type or size.
-
-Any future issue that wants blob parsing must define:
-
-- a positive MIME allowlist
-- per-type parser strategy
-- per-source size caps
-- sandbox/isolation requirements
-- prompt-injection handling
-- regression tests for refusal paths
-
-## Redaction Rules
-
-Metadata-only means **structured facts only**, not capability-bearing links.
-
-- Do not persist `contentPath` for assets.
-- Do not persist raw work-product `url` values.
-- Do not persist query strings, fragments, signed URL tokens, or userinfo.
-- Prefer stable identifiers (`assetId`, `workProductId`, `externalId`) over links.
-
-This addresses Sensitive Information Disclosure, Unsafe Consumption of APIs, and Insecure Output Handling risks.
-
-## Provenance Rules
-
-Every metadata-only reference must preserve enough provenance to explain where it came from without reading the underlying content:
-
-- `companyId`
-- `issueId`
-- attachment/work-product id
-- producer identity when available
-- timestamps
-- an explicit `metadata_only` marker in any future reference/snapshot schema
-
-## Review-Required Behavior
-
-Human review is **not** required for plain metadata-only references that stay inside the allowlisted fields above.
-
-Human review **is required**, with a separate security sign-off issue, before enabling any of the following:
-
-- asset body extraction
-- work-product URL fetching
-- linked summaries generated from asset/work-product content
-- storing raw blob links or raw remote URLs in wiki source material
-- non-default-space routing for Paperclip-derived asset/work-product references
-
-## Security Rationale
-
-This gate exists because the current host surfaces have different trust properties:
-
-- issue/comment/document text is first-party Paperclip content already exposed through company-scoped issue/document APIs
-- asset content is a blob download surface (`/api/assets/:id/content`) and can carry prompt-injection or parser-risk payloads
-- work products can point at arbitrary destinations through `url`, which reintroduces SSRF, token leakage, and prompt-injection risk if dereferenced automatically
-
-Relevant threat classes:
-
-- OWASP LLM Top 10: Prompt Injection, Sensitive Information Disclosure, Insecure Output Handling, Excessive Agency
-- OWASP API Top 10: SSRF, Unsafe Consumption of APIs, Broken Object Property Level Authorization
-- Saltzer & Schroeder: Least Privilege, Fail Securely, Complete Mediation, Secure Defaults
-
-## Follow-Up Implementation Scope
-
-A follow-up implementation issue is justified only for **metadata-only references**.
-
-That implementation must:
-
-- keep assets/work products out of source-bundle body text
-- never fetch blob bytes or remote URLs
-- redact capability-bearing link fields
-- mark references as `metadata_only`
-- ship tests proving source bundles/snapshots never contain `contentPath` or raw work-product `url` fields

-# Local Plugin Development
-
-This is the short happy-path guide for developing a Paperclip plugin from a folder on your machine. You will scaffold a plugin, run it in watch mode, install it into a running Paperclip instance from an absolute local path, and edit code with the plugin worker reloading after each rebuild.
-
-For the full alpha surface — manifest fields, capabilities, managed agents/projects/routines, UI slots, scoped API routes — see [`PLUGIN_AUTHORING_GUIDE.md`](./PLUGIN_AUTHORING_GUIDE.md).
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- Node.js 22+ and `pnpm`.
-- A local Paperclip checkout you can run from source. Local plugin installs read source from disk, so the running server must be able to see the path you give it.
-
-## The five steps
-
-```bash
-# 1. Start Paperclip locally
-pnpm paperclipai run
-
-# 2. Scaffold a plugin outside the Paperclip repo
-paperclipai plugin init @acme/hello-plugin --output ~/dev/paperclip-plugins
-
-# 3. Install dependencies and start the watch build
-cd ~/dev/paperclip-plugins/hello-plugin
-pnpm install
-pnpm dev
-
-# 4. In another terminal, install the plugin from its absolute path
-paperclipai plugin install ~/dev/paperclip-plugins/hello-plugin
-
-# 5. Confirm it loaded
-paperclipai plugin list
-paperclipai plugin inspect acme.hello-plugin
-```
-
-That's the loop. The rest of this page explains what each step does and what to expect when you edit code.
-
-### 1. Start Paperclip
-
-```bash
-pnpm paperclipai run
-```
-
-Paperclip listens on `http://127.0.0.1:3100` by default. The CLI talks to that server, so leave it running.
-
-### 2. Scaffold the plugin
-
-```bash
-paperclipai plugin init @acme/hello-plugin --output ~/dev/paperclip-plugins
-```
-
-This creates `~/dev/paperclip-plugins/hello-plugin/` with `src/manifest.ts`, `src/worker.ts`, `src/ui/index.tsx`, an esbuild watch config, a Vitest config, and a snapshot of `@paperclipai/plugin-sdk` from your local Paperclip checkout. You can run the package and tests without publishing anything to npm.
-
-Useful flags:
-
-- `--template <default|connector|workspace|environment>` — starter shape.
-- `--category <connector|workspace|automation|ui|environment>` — manifest category.
-- `--display-name`, `--description`, `--author` — manifest metadata.
-- `--sdk-path <absolute-path>` — point at a specific `packages/plugins/sdk` checkout if you have more than one.
-
-When `plugin init` finishes, it prints the next four commands literally. You can copy them.
-
-### 3. Install dependencies and run the watch build
-
-```bash
-cd ~/dev/paperclip-plugins/hello-plugin
-pnpm install
-pnpm dev
-```
-
-`pnpm dev` runs `esbuild --watch` against the plugin source and emits `dist/manifest.js`, `dist/worker.js`, and `dist/ui/`. Leave it running. Every time you save, esbuild rebuilds the affected output file.
-
-If your plugin has UI and you want a browser-side dev server with hot module replacement during local UI iteration, run `pnpm dev:ui` in a second terminal. It serves `dist/ui/` on `http://127.0.0.1:4177`. This is optional; Paperclip can load the built UI directly from `dist/ui/` without it.
-
-### 4. Install from the absolute path
-
-```bash
-paperclipai plugin install ~/dev/paperclip-plugins/hello-plugin
-```
-
-The CLI auto-detects local paths (anything that looks absolute, starts with `./`, `../`, or `~`, or resolves to an existing folder relative to the current directory) and sends `{ isLocalPath: true }` to `POST /api/plugins/install` with the resolved absolute path. If you want to be explicit, pass `--local`.
-
-You will see a confirmation like:
-
-```
-Installing plugin from local path: /Users/you/dev/paperclip-plugins/hello-plugin
-✓ Installed acme.hello-plugin v0.1.0 (ready)
-Local plugin installs run trusted local code from your machine.
-Keep `pnpm dev` running in /Users/you/dev/paperclip-plugins/hello-plugin;
-Paperclip watches rebuilt dist output and reloads the plugin worker.
-```
-
-Relative paths are resolved against the current working directory, so `paperclipai plugin install .` from inside the plugin folder works too.
-
-### 5. Inspect
-
-```bash
-paperclipai plugin list
-paperclipai plugin inspect acme.hello-plugin
-```
-
-`list` shows plugin key, status, version, and short error. `inspect` prints the same record with the full last error if there is one. Both accept `--json` if you want to script against them.
-
-## Reload semantics, honestly
-
-Paperclip watches the on-disk plugin package after a local install. The watcher targets the runtime entrypoints declared in the package's `paperclipPlugin` field (`dist/manifest.js`, `dist/worker.js`, `dist/ui/`).
-
-What that means in practice:
-
-- **Worker code:** save a `.ts` file → esbuild rewrites `dist/worker.js` → Paperclip debounces ~500ms and restarts the plugin worker. The next worker call uses the new code. There is no in-process hot module replacement for worker code; it is a worker restart.
-- **Manifest:** save `src/manifest.ts` → `dist/manifest.js` rewrites → the worker restarts and the host re-reads the manifest.
-- **Plugin UI:** save a `.tsx` file → esbuild rewrites `dist/ui/` → Paperclip reloads the UI bundle on its next mount. To get HMR during UI iteration, run `pnpm dev:ui` and point at the dev server with `devUiUrl` in your manifest while developing.
-- **Without `pnpm dev`:** the watcher only fires on `dist/*` changes. If you stop the watch build, source edits do not reach Paperclip. Restart `pnpm dev` (or run `pnpm build` once) before expecting changes.
-- **`node_modules`, `.git`, `.paperclip-sdk`, and other dotfolders are ignored.** Adding a dependency requires the new code to actually be imported and rebuilt before the worker sees it.
-
-The server never compiles plugin source for you. The package's own build scripts own that step.
-
-## Local path plugins vs npm packages
-
-Both go through the same install endpoint, but they mean different things:
-
-- **Local path plugins are trusted local code.** Paperclip executes worker code from disk under the same trust boundary as the rest of the running instance. This is meant for developing or operating a plugin against a checkout you control. There is no signature check, no sandboxing of worker code, and no provenance metadata beyond the path. Do not install local-path plugins you did not write.
-- **npm packages are the deployable artifact.** `paperclipai plugin install @acme/plugin-foo` (optionally `--version 1.2.3`) installs from your configured npm registry, version-pins, and produces an install record that other operators can reproduce. Ship plugins this way.
-
-When you are done iterating locally, publish the package and reinstall the npm-package form so the install reflects what you will ship.
-
-## Common things to do next
-
-- **Restart cleanly:** `paperclipai plugin disable <key>` pauses the plugin without removing it. `paperclipai plugin enable <key>` brings it back. `paperclipai plugin uninstall <key>` removes the install record; add `--force` to also purge plugin state and settings.
-- **Browse examples:** `paperclipai plugin examples` lists the bundled example plugins that ship with the repo, each with a ready-to-run `paperclipai plugin install <path>` line.
-- **Go deeper:** [`PLUGIN_AUTHORING_GUIDE.md`](./PLUGIN_AUTHORING_GUIDE.md) covers worker capabilities, managed agents/projects/routines, plugin database namespaces, scoped API routes, and the shared UI components in `@paperclipai/plugin-sdk/ui`. [`PLUGIN_SPEC.md`](./PLUGIN_SPEC.md) is the longer-form specification, including future ideas that are not yet implemented.
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-- **`Plugin install returned no plugin record` or `error` status.** Run `paperclipai plugin inspect <key>` for the last error. The most common causes are (1) the plugin has not built yet — run `pnpm dev` or `pnpm build` first, (2) the `paperclipPlugin` entries in `package.json` point at files that do not exist on disk, or (3) the manifest failed validation. The Paperclip server log has the full validation error.
-- **Edits do not seem to reload.** Confirm `pnpm dev` is still running and writing to `dist/`. If you renamed entry files, update the `paperclipPlugin.manifest` / `paperclipPlugin.worker` / `paperclipPlugin.ui` fields in `package.json` so the watcher targets them.
-- **Worker restarts but UI is stale.** Hard-reload the page. If you want HMR, run `pnpm dev:ui` and set `devUiUrl` in your manifest to `http://127.0.0.1:4177` during development.
-- **Path arguments fail on Windows.** Quote paths that contain spaces, and prefer absolute paths over `~`-prefixed paths in non-bash shells.

-    method: "POST",
-    path: "/issues/:issueId/smoke",

-    checkoutPolicy: "required-for-agent-in-progress",
-    companyResolution: { from: "issue", param: "issueId" },
-  },
-]
-```
-
-The host resolves the plugin, checks that it is ready, enforces
-`api.routes.register`, matches the declared method/path, resolves company access,
-and applies checkout policy before dispatching to the worker's `onApiRequest`
-handler. The worker receives sanitized headers, route params, query, parsed JSON
-body, actor context, and company id. Do not use plugin routes to claim core
-paths; they always remain under `/api/plugins/:pluginId/api/*`.
-
-## Managed Paperclip resources
-
-Plugins that provide durable Paperclip business objects should declare them in
-the manifest and let the host create or relink the actual records per company.
-Do this for plugin-owned agents, plugin-owned projects, and recurring automation.
-Do not hide long-lived work behind private plugin state when it should be visible
-to the board, scoped to a company, audited, budgeted, and assigned like normal
-Paperclip work.
-
-Use these surfaces:
-
-- Managed agents: declare top-level `agents[]` and require
-  `agents.managed`. Use this when the plugin provides a named worker the board
-  should see in the org, budget, pause, invoke, and inspect. Managed agents are
-  normal Paperclip agents with plugin ownership metadata, not background plugin
-  workers.
-- Managed projects: declare top-level `projects[]` and require
-  `projects.managed`. Use this when the plugin needs a stable company-scoped
-  project for its issues, routines, or workspace-oriented UI. Keep plugin work
-  in a project instead of scattering generated issues across unrelated projects.
-- Managed routines: declare top-level `routines[]` and require
-  `routines.managed`. Use this for scheduled, webhook, or manually triggered
-  jobs that should create visible Paperclip issues. Prefer managed routines over
-  plugin `jobs[]` for recurring business work; plugin jobs are for plugin
-  runtime maintenance that does not need a board-visible task trail.
-
-Managed resources are resolved by stable plugin keys, not hardcoded database
-ids. In a worker action or data handler, call `ctx.agents.managed.reconcile()`,
-`ctx.projects.managed.reconcile()`, and `ctx.routines.managed.reconcile()` for
-the current `companyId`. `reconcile()` creates the missing resource, relinks a
-recoverable binding, or returns the existing resource. `reset()` reapplies the
-manifest defaults when the operator wants to restore the plugin's suggested
-configuration.
-
-Declare dependencies between managed resources with refs. A routine can point
-at a managed agent through `assigneeRef` and at a managed project through
-`projectRef`. Reconcile the referenced agent and project before reconciling the
-routine; if a ref is still missing, the routine resolution reports
-`missing_refs` instead of guessing.

-  produce tasks. Schedule, webhook, and API triggers are visible routine
-  triggers, and each run has the normal Paperclip issue/audit trail.
-- Use managed projects to keep plugin-generated work organized and to give
-  project-scoped plugin UI a stable home. For filesystem access inside a
-  project, still resolve project workspaces through `ctx.projects`.

-## File and path UI
-
-Plugin UI often needs to render a file tree, accept a folder path, or browse a
-project workspace. There are three different surfaces for that, and they map to
-different trust and data-flow boundaries. Pick the surface that matches the
-data the plugin actually has.
-
-### When to use the shared `FileTree`
-
-Use `FileTree` from `@paperclipai/plugin-sdk/ui` whenever the plugin only needs
-to render a serializable file/directory list and react to selection or
-expand/collapse. The host owns the implementation, so plugin UI inherits the
-board's icons, indent, focus ring, and dark-mode styling without importing host

-```tsx

-
-const nodes: FileTreeNode[] = [
-  { name: "AGENTS.md", path: "AGENTS.md", kind: "file", children: [] },

-    />
-  );
-}
-```
-
-Good fits:
-
-- LLM Wiki page navigation in `packages/plugins/plugin-llm-wiki` builds a
-  `FileTreeNode[]` from worker query results and renders it through `FileTree`.
-- The example `plugin-file-browser-example` lazily fetches a directory's
-  children through a `loadFileList` action when `onToggleDir` fires, then
-  merges the children into the local tree state — letting the shared component
-  handle rendering and selection.
-
-Boundary rules:
-
-- Keep the prop surface serializable (`nodes`, `expandedPaths`, `checkedPaths`,
-  `fileBadges`, `fileTones`). Do not pass arbitrary render functions across the
-  plugin/host boundary in v1; the supported escape hatches are
-  `fileBadges` (status pill keyed by path) and `fileTones` (row tone keyed by
-  path).
-- Do not import the host's `FileTree.tsx` or any `ui/src/*` module. The SDK
-  declaration is the only supported import path for plugin UI.
-- The shared `FileTree` is for rendering and selection. Plugin-specific editors,
-  ingest flows, query forms, and lint runs stay inside the plugin and do not
-  belong as `FileTree` props.
-
-### When to declare `localFolders`
-
-When the plugin needs operator-configured filesystem roots — typically for
-trusted local plugins like wiki tooling — declare `localFolders[]` on the
-manifest and add the `local.folders` capability. The host renders a settings
-surface for the operator to set the absolute path, validates the path
-server-side (containment, symlinks, required files/directories), and exposes
-`ctx.localFolders.readText()` and `ctx.localFolders.writeTextAtomic()` in the
-worker.
-
-```ts
-export const manifest = {
-  capabilities: ["local.folders"],
-  localFolders: [
-    {
-      folderKey: "content-root",
-      displayName: "Content root",
-      access: "readWrite",
-      requiredDirectories: ["sources", "pages"],
-      requiredFiles: ["schema.md"],
-    },
-  ],
-};
-```
-
-Use this when:
-
-- The data lives outside any project workspace.
-- Reads and writes need company-scoped configuration.
-- The operator picks the path once in plugin settings and the worker resolves
-  files relative to that root.
-
-Do not use `localFolders` to grant the UI direct browser-side access to the
-filesystem — there is no such capability. The browser still goes through the
-worker via `getData` / `performAction`, and the worker only exposes paths it
-chose to expose.
-
-### When to keep worker-mediated project workspace browsing
-
-When the data lives inside an existing project workspace, keep the browsing
-flow worker-mediated:
-
-- The worker uses `ctx.projects.listWorkspaces()` to resolve the workspace
-  path, then reads its filesystem with normal Node APIs.
-- The plugin UI calls a `getData` handler for the root listing and an action
-  for lazy children, then renders them through `FileTree`.
-- The worker is the only side that touches the disk. The browser receives a
-  serializable tree and never sees raw absolute paths it can replay.
-
-The example `plugin-file-browser-example` is the reference for this pattern:
-the worker registers `fileList` (data) and `loadFileList` (action) over the
-same handler, and the UI uses the action for on-toggle directory loading so the
-shared `FileTree` stays the rendering surface.
-
-### Mixing surfaces
-
-A single plugin can use more than one of these. The LLM Wiki uses
-`localFolders` for its content root, then renders the resulting page list
-through `FileTree`. The file browser example uses `ctx.projects.listWorkspaces`
-to pick a workspace and renders its on-disk tree through `FileTree` with lazy
-loading. Pick the boundary per data source, not per plugin.

 Plugins that need filesystem, git, terminal, or process operations handle those directly using standard Node APIs or libraries. The host provides project workspace metadata through `ctx.projects` so plugins can resolve workspace paths, but the host does not proxy low-level OS operations.
 
-## 14.1 Issue Orchestration APIs
-
-Trusted orchestration plugins can create and update Paperclip issues through `ctx.issues` instead of importing server internals. The public issue contract includes parent/project/goal links, board or agent assignees, blocker IDs, labels, billing code, request depth, execution workspace inheritance, and plugin origin metadata.
-
-Origin rules:
-
-- Built-in core issues keep built-in origins such as `manual` and `routine_execution`.
-- Plugin-managed issues use `plugin:<pluginKey>` or a sub-kind such as `plugin:<pluginKey>:feature`.
-- The host derives the default plugin origin from the installed plugin key and rejects attempts to set `plugin:<otherPluginKey>` origins.
-- `originId` is plugin-defined and should be stable for idempotent generated work.
-
-Relation and read helpers:
-
-- `ctx.issues.relations.get(issueId, companyId)`
-- `ctx.issues.relations.setBlockedBy(issueId, blockerIssueIds, companyId)`
-- `ctx.issues.relations.addBlockers(issueId, blockerIssueIds, companyId)`
-- `ctx.issues.relations.removeBlockers(issueId, blockerIssueIds, companyId)`
-- `ctx.issues.getSubtree(issueId, companyId, options)`
-- `ctx.issues.summaries.getOrchestration({ issueId, companyId, includeSubtree, billingCode })`
-
-Governance helpers:
-
-- `ctx.issues.assertCheckoutOwner({ issueId, companyId, actorAgentId, actorRunId })` lets plugin actions preserve agent-run checkout ownership.
-- `ctx.issues.requestWakeup(issueId, companyId, options)` requests assignment wakeups through host heartbeat semantics, including terminal-status, blocker, assignee, and budget hard-stop checks.
-- `ctx.issues.requestWakeups(issueIds, companyId, options)` applies the same host-owned wakeup semantics to a batch and may use an idempotency key prefix for stable coordinator retries.
-
-Plugin-originated issue, relation, document, comment, and wakeup mutations must write activity entries with `actorType: "plugin"` and details fields for `sourcePluginId`, `sourcePluginKey`, `initiatingActorType`, `initiatingActorId`, and `initiatingRunId` when a user or agent run initiated the plugin work.
-
-Scoped API routes:
-
-- `apiRoutes[]` declares `routeKey`, `method`, plugin-local `path`, `auth`,
-  `capability`, optional checkout policy, and company resolution.
-- The host enforces auth, company access, `api.routes.register`, route matching,
-  and checkout policy before worker dispatch.
-- The worker implements `onApiRequest(input)` and returns a JSON response shape
-  `{ status?, headers?, body? }`.
-- Only safe request headers are forwarded; auth/cookie headers are never passed
-  to the worker.

 Plugins are encouraged but not required to use the shared components. A plugin may render entirely custom UI as long as it communicates through the bridge.
 
-`useHostNavigation()` is the supported way for plugin UI to navigate to
-Paperclip-internal pages. It exposes `resolveHref(to)`, `navigate(to,
-options?)`, and `linkProps(to, options?)`. Plugin links should prefer
-`linkProps()` so anchors keep real `href` values for copy-link, modifier-click,
-middle-click, and open-in-new-tab behavior while plain left-clicks route through
-the host SPA router. The host resolves company-scoped paths against the active

-## Notes
-
-- `GET /api/invites/:token` treats `revoked` and `expired` invites as unavailable. Accepted invites remain resolvable when they already have a linked join request, and the summary now includes `joinRequestStatus` plus `joinRequestType`.
-- Human acceptance consumes the invite immediately and then either creates a new join request or reuses an existing `pending_approval` or `approved` human join request for the same user/email.
-- The landing page has two layers of post-accept UI:
-  - immediate mutation-result UI from `POST /api/invites/:token/accept`
-  - reload-time summary UI from `GET /api/invites/:token` once the invite has already been consumed
-- Reload behavior for accepted company invites is now status-sensitive:
-  - `pending_approval` re-renders the waiting-for-approval panel
-  - `rejected` renders the "This join request was not approved." error panel
-  - `approved` only becomes a success path for human invites after membership is visible to the current session; otherwise the page falls through to the generic consumed/unavailable state
-- `GET /api/invites/:token/logo` still rejects accepted invites, so accepted-invite reload states may fall back to the generated company icon even though the summary payload still carries `companyLogoUrl`.
-- The only accepted-invite replay path in the current implementation is `POST /api/invites/:token/accept` for `agent` requests with `adapterType=openclaw_gateway`, and only when the existing join request is still `pending_approval` or already `approved`.
-- `bootstrap_ceo` invites are one-time and do not create join requests.

 The adapter symlinks Paperclip skills into the global Codex skills directory (`~/.codex/skills`). Existing user skills are not overwritten.
 
-## Fast Mode
-
-When `fastMode` is enabled, Paperclip adds Codex config overrides equivalent to:
-
-```sh
--c 'service_tier="fast"' -c 'features.fast_mode=true'
-```
-
-Paperclip currently applies that only when the selected model is `gpt-5.4`. On other models, the toggle is preserved in config but ignored at execution time to avoid unsupported runs.
-
-## Managed `CODEX_HOME`
-
 When Paperclip is running inside a managed worktree instance (`PAPERCLIP_IN_WORKTREE=true`), the adapter instead uses a worktree-isolated `CODEX_HOME` under the Paperclip instance so Codex skills, sessions, logs, and other runtime state do not leak across checkouts. It seeds that isolated home from the user's main Codex home for shared auth/config continuity.

-## Capability Flags
-
-Adapters can declare what "local" capabilities they support by setting optional fields on the `ServerAdapterModule`. The server and UI use these flags to decide which features to enable for agents using the adapter (instructions bundle editor, skills sync, JWT auth, etc.).
-
-| Flag | Type | Default | What it controls |
-|------|------|---------|------------------|
-| `supportsLocalAgentJwt` | `boolean` | `false` | Whether heartbeat generates a local JWT for the agent |
-| `supportsInstructionsBundle` | `boolean` | `false` | Managed instructions bundle (AGENTS.md) — server-side resolution + UI editor |
-| `instructionsPathKey` | `string` | `"instructionsFilePath"` | The `adapterConfig` key that holds the instructions file path |
-| `requiresMaterializedRuntimeSkills` | `boolean` | `false` | Whether runtime skill entries must be written to disk before execution |
-
-These flags are exposed via `GET /api/adapters` in a `capabilities` object, along with a derived `supportsSkills` flag (true when `listSkills` or `syncSkills` is defined).
-
-### Example
-
-```ts
-export function createServerAdapter(): ServerAdapterModule {
-  return {
-    type: "my_k8s_adapter",
-    execute: myExecute,
-    testEnvironment: myTestEnvironment,
-    listSkills: myListSkills,
-    syncSkills: mySyncSkills,
-
-    // Capability flags
-    supportsLocalAgentJwt: true,
-    supportsInstructionsBundle: true,
-    instructionsPathKey: "instructionsFilePath",
-    requiresMaterializedRuntimeSkills: true,
-  };
-}
-```
-
-With these flags set, the Paperclip UI will automatically show the instructions bundle editor, skills management tab, and working directory field for agents using this adapter — no Paperclip source changes required.
-
-If capability flags are not set, the server falls back to legacy hardcoded lists for built-in adapter types. External adapters that omit the flags will default to `false` for all capabilities.
