Dotta b9a80dcf22 feat: implement multi-user access and invite flows (#3784) 
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the control plane for autonomous AI companies.
> - V1 needs to stay local-first while also supporting shared,
authenticated deployments.
> - Human operators need real identities, company membership, invite
flows, profile surfaces, and company-scoped access controls.
> - Agents and operators also need the existing issue, inbox, workspace,
approval, and plugin flows to keep working under those authenticated
boundaries.
> - This branch accumulated the multi-user implementation, follow-up QA
fixes, workspace/runtime refinements, invite UX improvements,
release-branch conflict resolution, and review hardening.
> - This pull request consolidates that branch onto the current `master`
branch as a single reviewable PR.
> - The benefit is a complete multi-user implementation path with tests
and docs carried forward without dropping existing branch work.

## What Changed

- Added authenticated human-user access surfaces: auth/session routes,
company user directory, profile settings, company access/member
management, join requests, and invite management.
- Added invite creation, invite landing, onboarding, logo/branding,
invite grants, deduped join requests, and authenticated multi-user E2E
coverage.
- Tightened company-scoped and instance-admin authorization across
board, plugin, adapter, access, issue, and workspace routes.
- Added profile-image URL validation hardening, avatar preservation on
name-only profile updates, and join-request uniqueness migration cleanup
for pending human requests.
- Added an atomic member role/status/grants update path so Company
Access saves no longer leave partially updated permissions.
- Improved issue chat, inbox, assignee identity rendering,
sidebar/account/company navigation, workspace routing, and execution
workspace reuse behavior for multi-user operation.
- Added and updated server/UI tests covering auth, invites, membership,
issue workspace inheritance, plugin authz, inbox/chat behavior, and
multi-user flows.
- Merged current `public-gh/master` into this branch, resolved all
conflicts, and verified no `pnpm-lock.yaml` change is included in this
PR diff.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck && pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm db:generate`
- `npx playwright test --config tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts --list`
- Confirmed branch has no uncommitted changes and is `0` commits behind
`public-gh/master` before PR creation.
- Confirmed no `pnpm-lock.yaml` change is staged or present in the PR
diff.

## Risks

- High review surface area: this PR contains the accumulated multi-user
branch plus follow-up fixes, so reviewers should focus especially on
company-boundary enforcement and authenticated-vs-local deployment
behavior.
- UI behavior changed across invites, inbox, issue chat, access
settings, and sidebar navigation; no browser screenshots are included in
this branch-consolidation PR.
- Plugin install, upgrade, and lifecycle/config mutations now require
instance-admin access, which is intentional but may change expectations
for non-admin board users.
- A join-request dedupe migration rejects duplicate pending human
requests before creating unique indexes; deployments with unusual
historical duplicates should review the migration behavior.
- Company member role/status/grant saves now use a new combined
endpoint; older separate endpoints remain for compatibility.
- Full production build was not run locally in this heartbeat; CI should
cover the full matrix.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex coding agent, GPT-5-based model, CLI/tool-use
environment. Exact deployed model identifier and context window were not
exposed by the runtime.

## Checklist

- [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context
to this change
- [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability
details)
- [x] I have run tests locally and they pass
- [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable
- [x] If this change affects the UI, I have included before/after
screenshots
- [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes
- [x] I have considered and documented any risks above
- [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before
requesting merge

Note on screenshots: this is a branch-consolidation PR for an
already-developed multi-user branch, and no browser screenshots were
captured during this heartbeat.

# v2026.414.0
> Released: 2026-04-14
## Security
- **Authorization hardening (GHSA-68qg-g8mg-6pr7)** — Scoped import, approval, activity, and heartbeat API routes to enforce proper authorization checks. Previously, certain administrative endpoints were accessible without adequate permission verification. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade. ([#3315](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/3315), [#3009](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/3009), @KhairulA)
- **Removed hardcoded JWT secret fallback** — The `createBetterAuthInstance` function no longer falls back to a hardcoded JWT secret, closing a credential-hygiene gap. ([#3124](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/3124), @cleanunicorn)
- **Redact Bearer tokens in logs** — Server log output now redacts Bearer tokens to prevent accidental credential exposure.
- **Dependency bumps** — Updated `multer` to 2.1.1 (HIGH CVEs) and `rollup` to 4.59.0 (path-traversal CVE). ([#2909](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/2909), @marysomething99-prog)
## Highlights
- **Multi-user access and invites** — Full multi-user authentication, company roles, and invite management. Board users can create invite links, approve join requests, and manage member roles. Invite flows support auto-accept for signed-in users, paginated history, and human-readable requester identities in approval views.
- **Human user identities everywhere** — Human users now appear with real names and avatars across activity feeds, issue tables, assignee pickers, and @-mention menus. A lightweight user directory endpoint powers consistent identity resolution across the UI.
- **Issue chat thread** — Replaced the classic comment timeline with a full chat-style thread powered by assistant-ui. Agent run transcripts, chain-of-thought, and user messages render inline as a continuous conversation with polished avatars, action bars, and relative timestamps. ([#3079](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/3079))
- **External adapter plugin system** — Third-party adapters can now be installed as npm packages or loaded from local directories. Plugins declare a config schema and an optional UI transcript parser; built-in adapters can be overridden by external ones. Includes Hermes local session management and provider/model display in run details. ([#2649](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/2649), [#2650](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/2650), [#2651](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/2651), [#2654](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/2654), [#2655](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/2655), [#2659](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/2659), @plind-dm)
- **Execution policies** — Issues can carry a review/approval execution policy with multi-stage signoff workflows. Reviewers and approvers are selected per-stage, and Paperclip routes the issue through each stage automatically. ([#3222](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/3222))
- **Blocker dependencies** — First-class issue blocker relations with automatic wake-on-dependency-resolved. Set `blockedByIssueIds` on any issue and Paperclip wakes the assignee when all blockers reach `done`. ([#2797](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/2797))
- **Standalone MCP server** — New `@paperclipai/mcp-server` package exposing the Paperclip API as an MCP tool server, including approval creation. ([#2435](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/2435))
## Improvements
- **Invite UX polish** — Auto-submit for signed-in invites, inline auth flow, paginated invite history, requester identity in join approvals, and prevention of duplicate join requests and member re-invites.
- **Board approvals** — Generic issue-linked board approvals with card styling and visibility improvements in the issue detail sidebar. ([#3220](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/3220))
- **Inbox parent-child nesting** — Parent issues group their children in the inbox Mine view with a toggle button, j/k keyboard traversal across nested items, and collapsible groups. ([#2218](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/2218), @HenkDz)
- **Inbox workspace grouping** — Issues can now be grouped by workspace in the inbox with collapsible mobile groups and shared column controls across inbox and issues lists. ([#3356](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/3356))
- **Issue search** — Trigram-indexed full-text search across titles, identifiers, descriptions, and comments with debounced input. Comment matches now surface in search results. ([#2999](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/2999))
- **Sub-issues inline** — Sub-issues moved from a separate tab to inline display on the issue detail, with parent-inherited workspace defaults and assignee propagation. ([#3355](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/3355))
- **Issue-to-issue navigation** — Faster navigation between issues with scroll reset, prefetch, and detail-view optimizations. ([#3542](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/3542))
- **Auto-checkout for scoped wakes** — Agent harness now automatically checks out the scoped issue on comment-driven wakes, reducing latency for agent heartbeats. ([#3538](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/3538))
- **Document revision diff viewer** — Side-by-side diff viewer for issue document revisions with improved modal layout. ([#2792](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/2792))
- **Keyboard shortcuts cheatsheet** — Press `?` to open a keyboard shortcut reference dialog; new `g i` (go to inbox), `g c` (comment composer), and inbox archive undo shortcuts. ([#2772](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/2772))
- **Bedrock model selection** — Claude local adapter now supports AWS Bedrock authentication and model selection. ([#3033](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/3033), [#2793](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/2793), @kimnamu)
- **Codex fast mode** — Added fast mode support for the Codex local adapter with env probe safeguards. ([#3383](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/3383))
- **Backup improvements** — Gzip-compressed backups with tiered daily/weekly/monthly retention and UI controls in Instance Settings. ([#3015](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/3015), @aronprins)
- **GitHub webhook signing modes** — Added `github_hmac` and `none` webhook signing modes with timing-safe HMAC comparison. ([#1961](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/1961), @antonio-mello-ai)
- **Sidebar order persistence** — Sidebar project and company ordering preferences now persist per-user.
- **Workspace runtime controls** — Start/stop controls, runtime state reconciliation, runtime service improvements, and workspace branch/folder display in the issue properties sidebar. ([#3354](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/3354))
- **Attachment improvements** — Arbitrary file attachments (not just images), drag-and-drop non-image files onto markdown editor, and square-cropped image gallery grid. ([#2749](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/2749))
- **Image gallery in chat** — Clicking images in chat messages now opens a full gallery viewer.
- **Mobile UX** — Gmail-inspired mobile top bar for inbox issue views, responsive execution workspace pages, mobile mention menu placement, and mobile comment copy button feedback.
- **Routine improvements** — Draft routine defaults, run-time overrides, routine title variables, and relaxed project/agent requirements for routines. ([#3220](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/3220))
- **Project environment variables** — Projects can now define environment variables that are inherited by workspace runs.
- **Skill auto-enable** — Mentioned skills are automatically enabled for heartbeat runs.
- **Comment wake batching** — Multiple comment wakes are batched into a single inline payload for more efficient agent heartbeats.
- **Server-side adapter pause/resume** — Builtin adapter types can now be paused/resumed from the server with `overridePaused`. ([#2542](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/2542), @plind-dm)
- **Skill slash-command autocomplete** — Skill names now autocomplete in the editor.
- **Worktree reseed command** — New CLI command to reseed worktrees from latest repo state. ([#3353](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/3353))

## Upgrade Guide
Nine new database migrations (`0049`–`0056`) will run automatically on startup. These add:
- Issue blocker relations table (`0049`)
- Project environment variables (`0050`)
- Trigram search indexes on issues and comments (`0051` — requires `pg_trgm` extension)
- Execution policy decision tracking (`0052`)
- Non-issue inbox dismissals (`0053`)
- Relaxed routine constraints (`0054`)
- Heartbeat run process group tracking (`0055`)
- User sidebar preferences (`0056`)
All migrations are additive — no existing data is modified or removed.
**`pg_trgm` extension**: Migration `0051` creates the `pg_trgm` PostgreSQL extension for full-text search. If your database user does not have `CREATE EXTENSION` privileges, ask your DBA to run `CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS pg_trgm;` before upgrading.
If you use external adapter plugins, note that built-in adapters can now be overridden by external ones. The `overriddenBuiltin` flag in the adapter API indicates when this is happening.
