## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The board depends on issue, inbox, cost, and company-skill surfaces
to stay accurate and fast while agents are actively working
> - The PAP-1497 follow-up branch exposed a few rough edges in those
surfaces: stale active-run state on completed issues, missing creator
filters, oversized issue payload scans, and placeholder issue-route
parsing
> - Those gaps make the control plane harder to trust because operators
can see misleading run state, miss the right subset of work, or pay
extra query/render cost on large issue records
> - This pull request tightens those follow-ups across server and UI
code, and adds regression coverage for the affected paths
> - The benefit is a more reliable issue workflow, safer high-volume
cost aggregation, and clearer board/operator navigation
## What Changed
- Added the `v2026.415.0` release changelog entry.
- Fixed stale issue-run presentation after completion and reused the
shared issue-path parser so literal route placeholders no longer become
issue links.
- Added creator filters to the Issues page and Inbox, including
persisted filter-state normalization and regression coverage.
- Bounded issue detail/list project-mention scans and trimmed large
issue-list payload fields to keep issue reads lighter.
- Hardened company-skill list projection and cost/finance aggregation so
large markdown blobs and large summed values do not leak into list
responses or overflow 32-bit casts.
- Added targeted server/UI regression tests for company skills,
costs/finance, issue mention scanning, creator filters, inbox
normalization, and issue reference parsing.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/costs-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issues-goal-context-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts ui/src/lib/inbox.test.ts
ui/src/lib/issue-filters.test.ts ui/src/lib/issue-reference.test.ts`
- `gh pr checks 3779`
Current pass set on the PR head: `policy`, `verify`, `e2e`,
`security/snyk (cryppadotta)`, `Greptile Review`
## Risks
- Creator filter options are derived from the currently loaded
issue/agent data, so very sparse result sets may not surface every
historical creator until they appear in the active dataset.
- Cost/finance aggregate casts now use `double precision`; that removes
the current overflow risk, but future schema changes should keep
large-value aggregation behavior under review.
- Issue detail mention scanning now skips comment-body scans on the
detail route, so any consumer that relied on comment-only project
mentions there would need to fetch them separately.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-based coding agent with terminal tool use and
local code execution in the Paperclip workspace. Exact internal model
ID/context-window exposure is not surfaced in this session.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Operators rely on issue, inbox, and routine views to understand what
the company is doing in real time
> - Those views need to stay fast and readable even when issue lists,
markdown comments, and run metadata get large
> - The current branch had a coherent set of UI and live-update
improvements spread across issue search, issue detail rendering, routine
affordances, and workspace lookups
> - This pull request groups those board-facing changes into one
standalone branch that can merge independently of the heartbeat/runtime
work
> - The benefit is a faster, clearer issue and routine workflow without
changing the underlying task model
## What Changed
- Show routine execution issues by default and rename the filter to
`Hide routine runs` so the default state no longer looks like an active
filter.
- Show the routine name in the run dialog and tighten the issue
properties pane with a workspace link, copy-on-click behavior, and an
inline parent arrow.
- Reduce issue detail rerenders, keep queued issue chat mounted, improve
issues page search responsiveness, and speed up issues first paint.
- Add inbox "other search results", refresh visible issue runs after
status updates, and optimize workspace lookups through summary-mode
execution workspace queries.
- Improve markdown wrapping and scrolling behavior for long strings and
self-comment code blocks.
- Relax the markdown sanitizer assertion so the test still validates
safety after the new wrap-friendly inline styles.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run ui/src/components/IssuesList.test.tsx
ui/src/lib/inbox.test.ts ui/src/pages/Issues.test.tsx
ui/src/context/BreadcrumbContext.test.tsx
ui/src/context/LiveUpdatesProvider.test.ts
ui/src/components/MarkdownBody.test.tsx
ui/src/api/execution-workspaces.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-routes.test.ts`
## Risks
- This touches several issue-facing UI surfaces at once, so regressions
would most likely show up as stale rendering, search result mismatches,
or small markdown presentation differences.
- The workspace lookup optimization depends on the summary-mode route
shape staying aligned between server and UI.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-based coding agent in the Codex CLI environment.
Exact backend model deployment ID was not exposed in-session.
Tool-assisted editing and shell execution were used.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Every run emits a streaming log that the web UI polls so humans can
watch what the agent is doing
> - Log responses go out without explicit cache directives, so Express
adds an ETag
> - If the first poll lands before any bytes have been written, the
browser caches the empty / partial snapshot and keeps getting `304 Not
Modified` on every subsequent poll
> - The transcript pane then stays stuck on "Waiting for transcript…"
even after the log has plenty of content
> - This pull request sets `Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store` on both
run-log endpoints so the conditional-request path is defeated
## What Changed
- `server/src/routes/agents.ts` — `GET /heartbeat-runs/:runId/log` now
sets `Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store` on the response.
- Same change applied to `GET /workspace-operations/:operationId/log`
(same structure, same bug).
## Verification
- Reproduction: start a long-running agent, watch the transcript pane.
Before the fix, open devtools and observe `304 Not Modified` on each
poll after the initial 200 with an empty body; the UI never updates.
After the fix, each poll is a 200 with fresh bytes.
- Existing tests pass.
## Risks
Low. Cache headers only affect whether the browser revalidates; the
response body is unchanged. No API surface change.

## Checklist
- [x] Thinking path traces from project context to this change
- [x] Model used specified
- [x] Tests run locally and pass
- [x] CI green
- [x] Greptile review addressed
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Heartbeat runs are the control-plane record of what agents did, why
they woke up, and what operators should see next
> - Run lists, stranded issue comments, and live log polling all depend
on compact but accurate heartbeat summaries
> - The current branch had a focused backend slice that improves how run
result JSON is summarized, how stale process recovery comments are
written, and how live log polling resolves the active run
> - This pull request isolates that heartbeat/runtime reliability work
from the unrelated UI and dev-tooling changes
> - The benefit is more reliable issue context and cheaper run lookups
without dragging unrelated board UI changes into the same review
## What Changed
- Include the latest run failure in stranded issue comments during
orphaned process recovery.
- Bound heartbeat `result_json` payloads for list responses while
preserving the raw stored payloads.
- Narrow heartbeat log endpoint lookups so issue polling resolves the
relevant active run with less unnecessary scanning.
- Add focused tests for heartbeat list summaries, live run polling,
orphaned process recovery, and the run context/result summary helpers.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-context-summary.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-list.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/agent-live-run-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts`
## Risks
- The main risk is accidentally hiding a field that some client still
expects from summarized `result_json`, or over-constraining the live log
lookup path for edge-case run routing.
- Recovery comments now surface the latest failure more aggressively, so
wording changes may affect downstream expectations if anyone parses
those comments too strictly.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-based coding agent in the Codex CLI environment.
Exact backend model deployment ID was not exposed in-session.
Tool-assisted editing and shell execution were used.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Local development needs to work cleanly across linked git worktrees
because Paperclip itself leans on worktree-based engineering workflows
> - Dev-mode asset routing, Vite watch behavior, and workspace package
links are part of that day-to-day control-plane ergonomics
> - The current branch had a small but coherent set of
worktree/dev-tooling fixes that are independent from both the issue UI
changes and the heartbeat runtime changes
> - This pull request isolates those environment fixes into a standalone
branch that can merge without carrying unrelated product work
> - The benefit is a smoother multi-worktree developer loop with fewer
stale links and less noisy dev watching
## What Changed
- Serve dev public assets before the HTML shell and add a routing test
that locks that behavior in.
- Ignore UI test files in the Vite dev watch helper so the dev server
does less unnecessary work.
- Update `ensure-workspace-package-links.ts` to relink stale workspace
dependencies whenever a workspace `node_modules` directory exists,
instead of only inside linked-worktree detection paths.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/app-vite-dev-routing.test.ts
ui/src/lib/vite-watch.test.ts`
- `node cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs
scripts/ensure-workspace-package-links.ts`
## Risks
- The asset routing change is low risk but sits near app shell behavior,
so a regression would show up as broken static assets in dev mode.
- The workspace-link repair now runs in more cases, so the main risk is
doing unexpected relinks when a checkout has intentionally unusual
workspace symlink state.
## Model Used

Exact backend model deployment ID was not exposed in-session.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Every deployment serves the same Vite-built UI bundle from the same
express app
> - Vite emits JS/CSS under `/assets/<name>.<hash>.<ext>` — the hash
rolls whenever the content rolls, so these files are inherently
immutable
> - `index.html` references specific hashed filenames, so it has the
opposite lifecycle: whenever we deploy, the file changes but the URL
doesn't
> - Today the static middleware sends neither with cache headers, and
the SPA fallback serves `index.html` for any unmatched route — including
paths under `/assets/` that no longer exist after a deploy
> - That combination produces the familiar "blank screen after deploy" +
`Failed to load module script: Expected a JavaScript MIME type but
received 'text/html'` bug
> - This pull request caches hashed assets immutably, forces
`index.html` to `no-cache` everywhere it gets served, and returns 404
for missing `/assets/*` paths
## What Changed
- `server/src/app.ts`:
- Serve `/assets/*` with `Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000,
immutable`.
- Serve the remaining static files (favicon, manifest, robots.txt) with
a 1-hour cache, but override to `no-cache` specifically for `index.html`
via the `setHeaders` hook — because `express.static` serves it directly
for `/` and `/index.html`.
- The SPA fallback (`app.get(/.*/, …)`) sets `Cache-Control: no-cache`
on its `index.html` response.
- The fallback returns 404 for paths under `/assets/` so browsers don't
cache the HTML shell as a JavaScript module.
## Verification
- `curl -i http://localhost:3100/assets/index-abc123.js` →
`cache-control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable`.
- `curl -i http://localhost:3100/` → `cache-control: no-cache`.
- `curl -i http://localhost:3100/assets/missing.js` → `404`.
- `curl -i http://localhost:3100/some/spa/route` → `200` HTML with
`cache-control: no-cache`.
## Risks
Low. Asset URLs and HTML content are unchanged; only response headers
and the 404 behavior for missing asset paths change. No API surface
affected.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Humans interact with the system through a web UI that authenticates
a session and then issues mutations against the board
> - A CSRF-style guard (`boardMutationGuard`) protects those mutations
by requiring the request origin match a trusted set built from the
`Host` / `X-Forwarded-Host` header
> - Behind certain reverse proxies, neither header matches the public
URL — TLS terminates at the edge and the inbound `Host` carries an
internal service name (cluster-local hostname, IP, or an Ingress backend
reference)
> - Mutations from legitimate browser sessions then fail with `403 Board
mutation requires trusted browser origin`
> - `PAPERCLIP_PUBLIC_URL` is already the canonical "what operators told
us the public URL is" value — it's used by better-auth and `config.ts`
> - This pull request adds it to the trusted-origin set when set, so
browsers reaching the legit public URL aren't blocked
## What Changed
- `server/src/middleware/board-mutation-guard.ts` — parse
`PAPERCLIP_PUBLIC_URL` and add its origin to the trusted set in
`trustedOriginsForRequest`. Additive only.
## Verification
- `PAPERCLIP_PUBLIC_URL=https://example.com pnpm start` then issue a
mutation from a browser pointed at `https://example.com`: 200, as
before. From an unrecognized origin: 403, as before.
- Without `PAPERCLIP_PUBLIC_URL` set: behavior is unchanged.
## Risks
Low. Additive only. The default dev origins and the
`Host`/`X-Forwarded-Host`-derived origins continue to be trusted; this
just adds the operator-configured public URL on top.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The control plane depends on authenticated routes enforcing company
boundaries and role permissions correctly
> - This branch also touches the issue detail and markdown editing flows
operators use while handling advisory and triage work
> - Partial issue cache seeds and fragile rich-editor parsing could
leave important issue content missing or blank at the moment an operator
needed it
> - Blocked issues becoming actionable again should wake their assignee
automatically instead of silently staying idle
> - This pull request rebases the advisory follow-up branch onto current
`master`, hardens authenticated route authorization, and carries the
issue-detail/editor reliability fixes forward with regression tests
> - The benefit is tighter authz on sensitive routes plus more reliable
issue/advisory editing and wakeup behavior on top of the latest base
## What Changed
- Hardened authenticated route authorization across agent, activity,
approval, access, project, plugin, health, execution-workspace,
portability, and related server paths, with new cross-tenant and
runtime-authz regression coverage.
- Switched issue detail queries from `initialData` to placeholder-based
hydration so list/quicklook seeds still refetch full issue bodies.
- Normalized advisory-style HTML images before mounting the markdown
editor and strengthened fallback behavior when the rich editor silently
fails or rejects the content.
- Woke assigned agents when blocked issues move back to `todo`, with
route coverage for reopen and unblock transitions.
- Rebasing note: this branch now sits cleanly on top of the latest
`master` tip used for the PR base.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/lib/issueDetailQuery.test.tsx

server/src/__tests__/issue-comment-reopen-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/activity-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/agent-cross-tenant-authz-routes.test.ts`
- Confirmed `pnpm-lock.yaml` is not part of the PR diff.
- Rebased the branch onto current `public-gh/master` before publishing.
## Risks
- Broad authz tightening may expose existing flows that were relying on
permissive board or agent access and now need explicit grants.
- Markdown editor fallback changes could affect focus or rendering in
edge-case content that mixes HTML-like advisory markup with normal
markdown.
- This verification was intentionally scoped to touched regressions and
did not run the full repository suite.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents via adapters (`claude_local`,
`codex_local`, etc.)
> - Each adapter type has different capabilities — instructions bundles,
skill materialization, local JWT — but these were gated by 5 hardcoded
type lists scattered across server routes and UI components
> - External adapter plugins (e.g. a future `opencode_k8s`) cannot add
themselves to those hardcoded lists without patching Paperclip source
> - The existing `supportsLocalAgentJwt` field on `ServerAdapterModule`
proves the right pattern already exists; it just wasn't applied to the
other capability gates
> - This pull request replaces the 4 remaining hardcoded lists with
declarative capability flags on `ServerAdapterModule`, exposed through
the adapter listing API
> - The benefit is that external adapter plugins can now declare their
own capabilities without any changes to Paperclip source code
## What Changed
- **`packages/adapter-utils/src/types.ts`** — added optional capability
fields to `ServerAdapterModule`: `supportsInstructionsBundle`,
`instructionsPathKey`, `requiresMaterializedRuntimeSkills`
- **`server/src/routes/agents.ts`** — replaced
`DEFAULT_MANAGED_INSTRUCTIONS_ADAPTER_TYPES` and
`ADAPTERS_REQUIRING_MATERIALIZED_RUNTIME_SKILLS` hardcoded sets with
capability-aware helper functions that fall back to the legacy sets for
adapters that don't set flags
- **`server/src/routes/adapters.ts`** — `GET /api/adapters` now includes
a `capabilities` object per adapter (all four flags + derived
`supportsSkills`)
- **`server/src/adapters/registry.ts`** — all built-in adapters
(`claude_local`, `codex_local`, `process`, `cursor`) now declare flags
explicitly
- **`ui/src/adapters/use-adapter-capabilities.ts`** — new hook that
fetches adapter capabilities from the API
- **`ui/src/pages/AgentDetail.tsx`** — replaced hardcoded `isLocal`
allowlist with `capabilities.supportsInstructionsBundle` from the API
- **`ui/src/components/AgentConfigForm.tsx`** /
**`OnboardingWizard.tsx`** — replaced `NONLOCAL_TYPES` denylist with
capability-based checks
- **`server/src/__tests__/adapter-registry.test.ts`** /
**`adapter-routes.test.ts`** — tests covering flag exposure,
undefined-when-unset, and per-adapter values
- **`docs/adapters/creating-an-adapter.md`** — new "Capability Flags"
section documenting all flags and an example for external plugin authors
## Verification
- Run `pnpm test --filter=@paperclip/server -- adapter-registry
adapter-routes` — all new tests pass
- Run `pnpm test --filter=@paperclip/adapter-utils` — existing tests
still pass
- Spin up dev server, open an agent with `claude_local` type —
instructions bundle tab still visible
- Create/open an agent with a non-local type — instructions bundle tab
still hidden
- Call `GET /api/adapters` and verify each adapter includes a
`capabilities` object with the correct flags
## Risks
- **Low risk overall** — all new flags are optional with
backwards-compatible fallbacks to the existing hardcoded sets; no
adapter behaviour changes unless a flag is explicitly set
- Adapters that do not declare flags continue to use the legacy lists,
so there is no regression risk for built-in adapters
- The UI capability hook adds one API call to AgentDetail mount; this is
a pre-existing endpoint, so no new latency path is introduced
## Model Used
- Provider: Anthropic
- Model: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (`claude-sonnet-4-6`)
- Context: 200k token context window
- Mode: Agentic tool use (code editing, bash, grep, file reads)

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The Costs > Providers tab displays live subscription quota from each
adapter (Claude, Codex)
> - The Claude adapter fetches utilization from the Anthropic OAuth
usage API and converts it to a 0-100 percent via `toPercent()`
> - The API changed to return utilization as 0-100 percentages (e.g.
`34.0` = 34%), but `toPercent()` assumed 0-1 fractions and multiplied by
100
> - After `Math.min(100, ...)` clamping, every quota window displayed as
100% used regardless of actual usage
> - Additionally, `extra_usage.used_credits` and `monthly_limit` are
returned in cents but were formatted as dollars, showing $6,793 instead
of $67.93
> - This PR applies the same `< 1` heuristic already proven in the Codex
adapter and fixes the cents-to-dollars conversion
> - The benefit is accurate quota display matching what users see on
claude.ai/settings/usage
## What Changed
- `toPercent()`: apply `< 1` heuristic to handle both legacy 0-1
fractions and current 0-100 percentage API responses (consistent with
Codex adapter's `normalizeCodexUsedPercent()`)
- `formatExtraUsageLabel()`: divide `used_credits` and `monthly_limit`
by 100 to convert cents to dollars before formatting
- Updated all `toPercent` and `fetchClaudeQuota` tests to use current
API format (0-100 range)
- Added backward-compatibility test for legacy 0-1 fraction values
- Added test for enabled extra usage with utilization and
cents-to-dollars conversion
## Verification
- `toPercent(34.0)` → `34` (was `100`)
- `toPercent(91.0)` → `91` (was `100`)
- `toPercent(0.5)` → `50` (legacy format still works)
- Extra usage `used_credits: 6793, monthly_limit: 14000` → `$67.93 /
$140.00` (was `$6,793.00 / $14,000.00`)
- Verified on a live instance with Claude Max subscription — Costs >
Providers tab now shows correct percentages matching
claude.ai/settings/usage
## Risks
Low risk. The `< 1` heuristic is already battle-tested in the Codex
adapter. The only edge case is a true utilization of exactly `1.0` which
maps to `1%` instead of `100%` — this is consistent with the Codex
adapter behavior and is an acceptable trade-off since 1% and 100% are
distinguishable in practice (100% would be returned as `100.0` by the
API).

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip server starts up and sets internal `PAPERCLIP_API_URL` for
downstream services and adapters
> - The server startup code was unconditionally overwriting
`PAPERCLIP_API_URL` with `http://localhost:3100` (or equivalent based on
`config.host`)
> - In Kubernetes deployments, `PAPERCLIP_API_URL` is set via a
ConfigMap to the externally accessible load balancer URL (e.g.
`https://paperclip.example.com`)
> - Because the env var was unconditionally set after loading the
ConfigMap value, the ConfigMap-provided URL was ignored and replaced
with the internal localhost address
> - This caused downstream services (adapter env building) to use the
wrong URL, breaking external access
> - This pull request makes the assignment conditional — only set if not
already provided by the environment
> - External deployments can now supply `PAPERCLIP_API_URL` and it will
be respected; local development continues to work without setting it
## What Changed
- `server/src/index.ts`: Wrapped `PAPERCLIP_API_URL` assignment in `if
(!process.env.PAPERCLIP_API_URL)` guard so externally provided values
are preserved
- `server/src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts`: Added
tests verifying external `PAPERCLIP_API_URL` is respected and fallback
behavior is correct
- `docs/deploy/environment-variables.md`: Updated `PAPERCLIP_API_URL`
description to clarify it can be externally provided and the load
balancer/reverse proxy use case
## Verification
- Run the existing test suite: `pnpm test:run
server/src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts` — all 3
tests pass
- Manual verification: Set `PAPERCLIP_API_URL` to a custom value before
starting the server and confirm it is not overwritten
## Risks
- Low risk — purely additive conditional check; existing behavior for
unset env var is unchanged
## Model Used
MiniMax M2.7 — reasoning-assisted for tracing the root cause through the
startup chain (`buildPaperclipEnv` → `startServer` → `config.host` →
`HOST` env var)

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Routines are recurring tasks that trigger agents on a schedule or
via webhook
> - Routine triggers store their schedule as a `cronExpression` +
`timezone` in the database
> - The `GET /companies/:companyId/routines` list endpoint is the
primary way API consumers (and the UI) discover all routines and their
triggers
> - But the list endpoint was silently dropping `cronExpression` and
`timezone` from each trigger object — the DB query fetched them, but the
explicit object-construction mapping only forwarded seven other fields
> - This PR fixes the mapping to include `cronExpression` and
`timezone`, and extends the `RoutineListItem.triggers` type to match
> - The benefit is that API consumers can now see the actual schedule
from the list endpoint, and future UI components reading from the list
cache will get accurate schedule data
## What Changed
- **`server/src/services/routines.ts`** — Added `cronExpression` and
`timezone` to the explicit trigger object mapping inside
`routinesService.list()`. The DB query (`listTriggersForRoutineIds`)
already fetched all columns via `SELECT *`; the values were being
discarded during object construction.
- **`packages/shared/src/types/routine.ts`** — Extended
`RoutineListItem.triggers` `Pick<RoutineTrigger, ...>` to include
`cronExpression` and `timezone` so the TypeScript type contract matches
the actual runtime shape.
- **`server/src/__tests__/routines-e2e.test.ts`** — Added assertions to
the existing schedule-trigger E2E test that verify both `cronExpression`
and `timezone` are present in the `GET /companies/:companyId/routines`
list response.
## Verification
```bash
# Run the route + service unit tests
npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/routines-routes.test.ts server/src/__tests__/routines-service.test.ts
# → 21 tests pass
# Confirm cronExpression appears in list response
curl /api/companies/{id}/routines | jq '.[].triggers[].cronExpression'
# → now returns the actual cron string instead of undefined
```
Manual reproduction per the issue:
1. Create a routine with a schedule trigger (`cronExpression: "47 14 * *
*"`, `timezone: "America/Mexico_City"`)
2. `GET /api/companies/{id}/routines` — trigger object now includes
`cronExpression` and `timezone`
## Risks
Low risk. The change only adds two fields to an existing response shape
— no fields removed, no behavior changed. The `cronExpression` is `null`
for non-schedule trigger kinds (webhook, etc.), consistent with
`RoutineTrigger.cronExpression: string | null`. No migration required.
## Model Used
- **Provider:** Anthropic
- **Model:** Claude Sonnet 4.6 (`claude-sonnet-4-6`)
- **Context window:** 200k tokens
- **Mode:** Extended thinking + tool use (agentic)
- Secondary adversarial review: OpenAI Codex (via codex-companion
plugin)

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Agents query their own inbox via `/agents/me/inbox-lite` to discover
assigned work
> - `issuesSvc.list()` excludes `routine_execution` issues by default,
which is appropriate for the board UI
> - But agents calling `inbox-lite` need to see **all** their assigned
work, including routine-created issues
> - Without `includeRoutineExecutions: true`, agents miss their own
in-progress issues after the first delegation step
> - This causes routine-driven pipelines to stall — agents report "Inbox
empty" and exit
> - This pull request adds `includeRoutineExecutions: true` to the
`inbox-lite` query
> - The benefit is routine-driven pipelines no longer stall after
delegation
## What Changed
- Added `includeRoutineExecutions: true` to the `issuesSvc.list()` call
in the `/agents/me/inbox-lite` route (`server/src/routes/agents.ts`)
## Verification
1. Create a routine that assigns an issue to an agent
2. Trigger the routine — first run works via `issue_assigned` event
injection
3. Agent delegates (creates a subtask) and exits
4. On next heartbeat, agent queries `inbox-lite`
5. **Before fix**: issue is invisible, agent reports "Inbox empty"
6. **After fix**: issue appears in inbox, agent continues working
Tested on production instance — fix resolves the stall immediately.
## Risks
Low risk — additive change, only affects agent-facing inbox endpoint.
Board UI keeps its default behavior (routine executions hidden for clean
view).
## Model Used
Claude Opus 4.6 (`claude-opus-4-6`) via Claude Code CLI — high thinking
effort, tool use.

Closes#3282
## 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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - That operator experience depends not just on issue chat, but also on
how workspaces, inbox groups, and navigation state behave over
long-running sessions
> - The current branch included a separate cluster of workspace-runtime
controls, inbox grouping, sidebar ordering, and worktree lifecycle fixes
> - Those changes cross server, shared contracts, database state, and UI
navigation, but they still form one coherent operator workflow area
> - This pull request isolates the workspace/runtime and navigation
ergonomics work into one standalone branch
> - The benefit is better workspace recovery and navigation persistence
without forcing reviewers through the unrelated issue-detail/chat work
## What Changed
- Improved execution workspace and project workspace controls, request
wiring, layout, and JSON editor ergonomics
- Hardened linked worktree reuse/startup behavior and documented the
`worktree repair` flow for recovering linked worktrees safely
- Added inbox workspace grouping, mobile collapse, archive undo,
keyboard navigation, shared group-header styling, and persisted
collapsed-group behavior
- Added persistent sidebar order preferences with the supporting DB
migration, shared/server contracts, routes, services, hooks, and UI
integration
- Scoped issue-list preferences by context and added targeted UI/server
tests for workspace controls, inbox behavior, sidebar preferences, and
worktree validation
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/sidebar-preferences-routes.test.ts
ui/src/pages/Inbox.test.tsx
ui/src/components/ProjectWorkspaceSummaryCard.test.tsx
ui/src/components/WorkspaceRuntimeControls.test.tsx
ui/src/api/workspace-runtime-control.test.ts`
- `server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts` was attempted, but
the embedded Postgres suite self-skipped/hung on this host after
reporting an init-script issue, so it is not counted as a local pass
here
## Risks
- Medium: this branch includes migration-backed preference storage plus
worktree/runtime behavior, so merge review should pay attention to state
persistence and worktree recovery semantics
- The sidebar preference migration is standalone, but it should still be
watched for conflicts if another migration lands first
## 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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - A core part of that is the operator experience around reading issue
state, agent chat, and sub-task structure
> - The current branch had a long run of issue-detail and issue-list UX
fixes that all improve how humans follow and steer active work
> - Those changes mostly live in the UI/chat surface and should be
reviewed together instead of mixed with workspace/runtime work
> - This pull request packages the issue-detail, chat, markdown, and
sub-issue list improvements into one standalone change
> - The benefit is a cleaner, less jumpy, more reliable issue workflow
on desktop and mobile without coupling it to unrelated server/runtime
refactors
## What Changed
- Stabilized issue chat runtime wiring, optimistic comment handling,
queued-comment cancellation, and composer anchoring during live updates
- Fixed several issue-detail rendering and navigation regressions
including placeholder bleed, local polling scope, mobile inbox-to-issue
transitions, and visible refresh resets
- Improved markdown and rich-content handling with advisory image
normalization, editor fallback behavior, touch mention recovery, and
`issue:` quicklook links
- Refined sub-issue behavior with parent-derived defaults, current-user
inheritance fixes, empty-state cleanup, and a reusable issue-list
presentation for sub-issues
- Added targeted UI tests for the new issue-detail, chat scroll/message,
placeholder-data, markdown, and issue-list behaviors
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run ui/src/components/IssueChatThread.test.tsx
ui/src/components/MarkdownEditor.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssuesList.test.tsx
ui/src/context/LiveUpdatesProvider.test.tsx
ui/src/lib/issue-chat-messages.test.ts
ui/src/lib/issue-chat-scroll.test.ts
ui/src/lib/issue-detail-subissues.test.ts
ui/src/lib/query-placeholder-data.test.tsx
ui/src/hooks/usePaperclipIssueRuntime.test.tsx`
## Risks
- Medium: this branch touches the highest-traffic issue-detail UI paths,
so regressions would show up as chat/thread or sub-issue UX glitches
- The changes are UI-heavy and would benefit from reviewer screenshots
or a quick manual browser pass before merge
## 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

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents and company-scoped control-plane
actions for zero-human companies.
> - This change touches the server authz boundary around company
portability, approvals, activity, and heartbeat-run operations.
> - The vulnerability was that board-authenticated callers could cross
company boundaries or create new companies through import paths without
the same authorization checks enforced elsewhere.
> - Once that gap existed, an attacker could chain it into higher-impact
behavior through agent execution paths.
> - The fix needed to harden every confirmed authorization gap in the
reported chain, not just the first route that exposed it.
> - This pull request adds the missing instance-admin and company-access
checks and adds regression tests for each affected route.
> - The benefit is that cross-company actions and new-company import
flows now follow the same control-plane authorization rules as the rest
of the product.
## What Changed
- Required instance-admin access for `new_company` import preview/apply
flows in `server/src/routes/companies.ts`.
- Required company access before approval decision routes in
`server/src/routes/approvals.ts`.
- Required company access for activity creation and heartbeat-run issue
listing in `server/src/routes/activity.ts`.
- Required company access before heartbeat cancellation in
`server/src/routes/agents.ts`.
- Added regression coverage in the corresponding server route tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/company-portability-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/approval-routes-idempotency.test.ts
src/__tests__/activity-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/agent-permissions-routes.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- Prior verification on the original security patch branch also included
`pnpm build`.
## Risks
- Low code risk: the change is narrow and only adds missing
authorization gates to existing routes.
- Operational risk: the advisory is already public, so this PR should be
merged quickly to minimize the public unpatched window.
- Residual product risk remains around open signup / bootstrap defaults,
which was intentionally left out of this patch because the current
first-user onboarding flow depends on it.
## Model Used
- OpenAI GPT-5 Codex coding agent with tool use and local code execution
in the Codex CLI environment.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The issue detail page displays comment threads with rich timeline
rendering
> - Long threads (100+ items) cause severe typing lag in the comment
composer because every keystroke re-renders the entire timeline
> - CDP tracing confirmed 110ms avg key→paint latency and 60 long tasks
blocking the main thread for 3.7s total
> - This pull request memoizes the timeline, stabilizes callback props,
debounces editor observers, and reduces idle polling frequency
> - The benefit is responsive typing (21ms avg, 5.3× faster) even on
threads with 100+ timeline items
## What Changed
- **CommentThread.tsx**: Memoize `TimelineList` with `useMemo` so typing
state changes don't re-render 143 timeline items; extract
`handleFeedbackVote` to `useCallback`; added missing deps
(`pendingApprovalAction`, `onApproveApproval`, `onRejectApproval`) to
useMemo array
- **IssueDetail.tsx**: Extract inline callbacks (`handleCommentAdd`,
`handleCommentVote`, `handleCommentImageUpload`,
`handleCommentAttachImage`, `handleInterruptQueued`) to `useCallback`
with `.mutateAsync` deps (not full mutation objects) for stable
references; add conditional polling intervals (3s active / 30s idle) for
`liveRuns`, `activeRun`, `linkedRuns`, and timeline queries
- **MarkdownEditor.tsx**: Debounce `MutationObserver` and
`selectionchange` handlers via `requestAnimationFrame` coalescing
- **LiveRunWidget.tsx**: Accept optional `liveRunsData` and
`activeRunData` props to reuse parent-fetched data instead of duplicate
polling
## Verification
- Navigated to [IP address]:3105/PAPA/issues/PAPA-32 (thread with 100+
items)
- Typed in comment composer — lag eliminated, characters appear
instantly
- CDP trace test script (`test-typing-lag.mjs`) confirmed: avg 21ms
key→paint (was 110ms), 5 long tasks (was 60), 0.5s blocking (was 3.7s)
- Ran `pnpm test:run` locally — all tests pass
## Risks
- Low risk. All changes are additive memoization and callback
stabilization — no behavioral changes. Polling intervals are only
reduced for idle state; active runs still poll at 3–5s.
## Model Used
