## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip gives operators a live view of agent work across
dashboards, transcripts, and run activity charts
> - Those views consume live run updates and aggregate run activity from
backend dashboard data
> - Missing or partial run data could make charts brittle, and live
transcript updates were heavier than needed
> - Operators need dashboard data to stay stable even when recent run
payloads are incomplete
> - This pull request hardens dashboard run aggregation, guards chart
rendering, and lightens live run update handling
> - The benefit is a more reliable dashboard during active agent
execution
## What Changed
- Added dashboard run activity types and backend aggregation coverage.
- Guarded activity chart rendering when run data is missing or partial.
- Reduced live transcript update churn in active agent and run chat
surfaces.
- Fixed issue chat avatar alignment in the thread renderer.
- Added focused dashboard, activity chart, and live transcript tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --ignore-scripts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/dashboard-service.test.ts
ui/src/components/ActivityCharts.test.tsx
ui/src/components/transcript/useLiveRunTranscripts.test.tsx`
- Result: 8 tests passed, 1 skipped. The embedded Postgres dashboard
service test skipped on this host with the existing PGlite/Postgres init
warning; UI chart and transcript tests passed.
## Risks
- Medium-low risk: aggregation semantics changed, but the UI remains
guarded around incomplete data.
- The dashboard service test is host-skipped here, so CI should confirm
the embedded database path.
> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex coding agent based on GPT-5, tool-enabled local shell and
GitHub workflow, exact runtime context window not exposed in this
session.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Reliable execution depends on heartbeat routing, issue lifecycle
semantics, telemetry, and a fast enough local verification loop to keep
regressions visible
> - The remaining commits on this branch were mostly server/runtime
correctness fixes plus test and documentation follow-ups in that area
> - Those changes are logically separate from the UI-focused
issue-detail and workspace/navigation branches even when they touch
overlapping issue APIs
> - This pull request groups the execution reliability, heartbeat,
telemetry, and tooling changes into one standalone branch
> - The benefit is a focused review of the control-plane correctness
work, including the follow-up fix that restored the implicit
comment-reopen helpers after branch splitting
## What Changed
- Hardened issue/heartbeat execution behavior, including self-review
stage skipping, deferred mention wakes during active execution, stranded
execution recovery, active-run scoping, assignee resolution, and
blocked-to-todo wake resumption
- Reduced noisy polling/logging overhead by trimming issue run payloads,
compacting persisted run logs, silencing high-volume request logs, and
capping heartbeat-run queries in dashboard/inbox surfaces
- Expanded telemetry and status semantics with adapter/model fields on
task completion plus clearer status guidance in docs/onboarding material
- Updated test infrastructure and verification defaults with faster
route-test module isolation, cheaper default `pnpm test`, e2e isolation
from local state, and repo verification follow-ups
- Included docs/release housekeeping from the branch and added a small
follow-up commit restoring the implicit comment-reopen helpers that were
dropped during branch reconstruction
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-comment-reopen-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-telemetry-routes.test.ts`
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/http-log-policy.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-run-log.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/health.test.ts`
- `server/src/__tests__/activity-service.test.ts`,
`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-comment-wake-batching.test.ts`, and
`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` were attempted
on this host but the embedded Postgres harness reported
init-script/data-dir problems and skipped or failed to start, so they
are noted as environment-limited
## Risks
- Medium: this branch changes core issue/heartbeat routing and
reopen/wakeup behavior, so regressions would affect agent execution flow
rather than isolated UI polish
- Because it also updates verification infrastructure, reviewers should
pay attention to whether the new tests are asserting the right failure
modes and not just reshaping harness behavior
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex coding agent (GPT-5-class runtime in Codex CLI; exact
deployed model ID is not exposed in this environment), reasoning
enabled, tool use and local code execution enabled

- Fix external adapters (hermes, droid) not auto-selected when
navigating with ?adapterType= param — was using a stale
module-level Set built before async adapter registration
- Move SchemaConfigFields to render after thinking effort (same
visual area as Claude's chrome toggle) instead of bottom of
config section
- Extract SelectField into its own component to fix React hooks
order violation when schema fields change between renders
- Add onAdapterChange() subscription in registry.ts so
registerUIAdapter() notifies components when dynamic parsers
load, fixing stale parser for old runs
- Add parserTick to both RunTranscriptView and
useLiveRunTranscripts to force recomputation on parser change
