-->
- Paperclip allows to manage projects
- During the project creation you can optionally enter a description
- In the project overview or configuration you can edit the description
- However, you cannot remove the description
- The user should be able to remove the project description because it's
an optional property
- This pull request fixes the frontend bug that prevented the user to
remove/clear the project description
## What Changed
<!-- Bullet list of concrete changes. One bullet per logical unit. -->
- project description can be cleared in "project configuration" and
"project overview"
## Verification
<!--
How can a reviewer confirm this works? Include test commands, manual
steps, or both. For UI changes, include before/after screenshots.
-->
In project configuration or project overview:
- In the description field remove/clear the text
## Risks
<!--
What could go wrong? Mention migration safety, breaking changes,
behavioral shifts, or "Low risk" if genuinely minor.
-->
- none

Address two Greptile review comments:
1. Collapsed parent badge now shows total descendant count at all depths
rather than direct-child count only. Add `countDescendants` utility to
issue-tree.ts (recursive, uses existing childMap) and replace
`children.length` with it in the titleSuffix badge.
2. Add a useEffect that prunes stale IDs from `collapsedParents` whenever
the issues prop changes. Deleted or reassigned issues previously left
orphan IDs in localStorage indefinitely; the effect filters to only IDs
that appear as a parentId in the current issue list and persists the
cleaned array via updateView.
Add four unit tests for countDescendants: leaf node, single-level,
multi-level, and unknown ID.

Extract the inline tree-building logic from IssuesList into a pure
`buildIssueTree` function in lib/issue-tree.ts so it can be unit tested.
Add six tests covering: flat lists, parent-child grouping, multi-level
nesting, orphaned sub-tasks promoted to root, empty input, and list
order preservation.
Add two tests to IssueRow.test.tsx covering the new titleSuffix prop:
renders inline after the title when provided, and renders cleanly when
omitted.

Move parent-task link out of the 2-column PropertyRow layout and into
a dedicated full-width section at the bottom of the panel, separated
by a Separator. Sub-tasks are listed in the same section when present.
Each item shows a StatusIcon aligned with the first line of wrapped
title text (items-start + mt-0.5 on the icon wrapper).

Move collapsedParents from ephemeral useState into IssueViewState,
which is already serialised to localStorage under the scoped key.
Navigating away and back now restores the exact collapsed/expanded
state the user left the list in.

Replace the boolean isChild flag with a numeric depth counter.
Each depth level adds 16px left padding via inline style on the
wrapper div, so sub-tasks of sub-tasks (and deeper) are indented
proportionally rather than all aligning at the same level.

When a parent issue is collapsed, its title is suffixed with
"(N sub-tasks)" so the count remains visible at a glance.
The suffix disappears when the parent is expanded.

The base IssueRow has sm:pl-1 which overrides pl-6 at sm+ breakpoints.
Adding sm:pl-7 ensures the indent is visible at all screen sizes.

Sub-tasks are now grouped under their parent issue in the list view.
Parent issues with children show a chevron to collapse/expand their subtasks.
Child issues are visually indented to indicate hierarchy.

Root cause: CSS Grid items default to min-width:auto, allowing content
to push the dialog wider than the viewport on mobile.
- Add [&>*]:min-w-0 on DialogContent to prevent grid children from
expanding beyond the container width
- Keep overflow-x-hidden as safety net
- Remove negative-margin sticky footer that extended beyond bounds
- Revert to standard DialogFooter without negative margins
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
- Add overflow-x-hidden on DialogContent to prevent horizontal scroll
- Truncate long monospace text (branch names, base refs) in git status grid
- Add min-w-0 on grid cells to allow truncation within CSS grid
- Add overflow-hidden on git status card and repo root section
- Add max-w-full + overflow-x-auto on pre blocks for long commands

Replaces 12+ inline toggle button implementations across the app with a
shared ToggleSwitch component that scales up on mobile for better touch
targets. Default size is h-6/w-10 on mobile, h-5/w-9 on desktop; "lg"
variant is h-7/w-12 on mobile, h-6/w-11 on desktop.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
- Reduce padding and text sizes on small screens (p-4/text-xs -> sm:p-6/sm:text-sm)
- Tighter spacing between sections on mobile (space-y-3 -> sm:space-y-4)
- Sticky footer so action buttons stay visible while scrolling
- Grid layout stays 2-col on all sizes for git status
- Add shrink-0 to loading spinner

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The inline markdown editor (MarkdownEditor / MDXEditor) is used to
edit agent instructions, issue descriptions, and other content
> - When users paste agent instructions copied from terminals or
consoles, extra leading whitespace is uniformly added to every line
> - PR #2572 fixed markdown structure preservation on paste but did not
address the leading whitespace (dedent) problem
> - This pull request adds a Lexical paste normalization plugin that
strips common leading whitespace and normalizes line endings before
MDXEditor processes pasted content
> - The benefit is that pasted content from terminals/consoles renders
correctly without manual cleanup
## What Changed
- **`ui/src/lib/normalize-markdown.ts`** — Pure utility that computes
minimum common indentation across non-empty lines and strips it
(dedent), plus CRLF → LF normalization
- **`ui/src/lib/paste-normalization.ts`** — Lexical `PASTE_COMMAND`
plugin at `CRITICAL` priority that intercepts plain-text pastes,
normalizes the markdown, and re-dispatches cleaned content for MDXEditor
to process. Skips HTML-rich pastes.
- **`ui/src/components/MarkdownEditor.tsx`** — Registers the new plugin;
updates PR #2572's `handlePasteCapture` to use `normalizeMarkdown()`
(dedent + CRLF) instead of `normalizePastedMarkdown()` (CRLF only) for
the markdown-routing path
- **`ui/src/lib/paste-normalization.test.ts`** — 9 unit tests covering
dedent, CRLF normalization, mixed indent, empty lines, single-line
passthrough, and edge cases
## Verification
- `pnpm --dir ui exec vitest run src/lib/paste-normalization.test.ts` —
9 tests pass
- Manual: paste indented agent instructions from a terminal into any
inline markdown editor and confirm leading whitespace is stripped
## Risks
- Low risk. The plugin only activates for plain-text pastes (no HTML
clipboard data). HTML/rich pastes pass through unchanged. Single-line
pastes are not modified. The dedent logic is conservative — it only
strips whitespace common to all non-empty lines.

Batch consecutive system events into a single collapsible group
instead of rendering each as a separate warn-toned block. Shows
count in header, expands on click.
- 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
- Plugin loader: install/reload/remove/reinstall external adapters
from npm packages or local directories
- Plugin store persisted at ~/.paperclip/adapter-plugins.json
- Self-healing UI parser resolution with version caching
- UI: Adapter Manager page, dynamic loader, display registry
with humanized names for unknown adapter types
- Dev watch: exclude adapter-plugins dir from tsx watcher
to prevent mid-request server restarts during reinstall
- All consumer fallbacks use getAdapterLabel() for consistent display
- AdapterTypeDropdown uses controlled open state for proper close behavior
- Remove hermes-local from built-in UI (externalized to plugin)
- Add docs for external adapters and UI parser contract
Supersedes #2499.
## Thinking Path
1. **Project context**: Paperclip uses a markdown editor
(`MarkdownEditor`) for document editing. Users expect to paste
markdown-formatted text from external sources (like code editors, other
documents) and have it render correctly.
2. **Problem identification**: When users paste plain text containing
markdown syntax (e.g., `# Heading`, `- list item`), the editor was
treating it as plain text, resulting in raw markdown syntax being
displayed rather than formatted content.
3. **Root cause**: The default browser paste behavior doesn't recognize
markdown syntax in plain text. The editor needed to intercept paste
events and detect when the clipboard content looks like markdown.
4. **Solution design**:
- Create a utility (`markdownPaste.ts`) to detect markdown patterns in
plain text
- Add a paste capture handler in `MarkdownEditor` that intercepts paste
events
- When markdown is detected, prevent default paste and use
`insertMarkdown` instead
- Handle edge cases (code blocks, file pastes, HTML content)
## What
- Added `ui/src/lib/markdownPaste.ts`: Utility to detect markdown
patterns and normalize line endings
- Added `ui/src/lib/markdownPaste.test.ts`: Test coverage for markdown
detection
- Modified `ui/src/components/MarkdownEditor.tsx`: Added paste capture
handler to intercept and handle markdown paste
## Why
Users frequently copy markdown content from various sources (GitHub,
documentation, notes) and expect it to render correctly when pasted into
the editor. Without this fix, users see raw markdown syntax (e.g., `#
Title` instead of a formatted heading), which degrades the editing
experience.
## How to Verify
1. Open any document in Paperclip
2. Copy markdown text from an external source (e.g., `# Heading\n\n-
Item 1\n- Item 2`)
3. Paste into the editor
4. **Expected**: The content should render as formatted markdown
(heading + bullet list), not as plain text with markdown syntax
### Test Coverage
```bash
cd ui
npm test -- markdownPaste.test.ts
```
All tests should pass, including:
- Windows line ending normalization (`\r\n` → `\n`)
- Old-Mac line ending normalization (`\r` → `\n`)
- Markdown block detection (headings, lists, code fences, etc.)
- Plain text rejection (non-markdown content)
## Risks
1. **False positives**: Plain text containing markdown-like characters
(e.g., a paragraph starting with `#` as a hashtag) may be incorrectly
treated as markdown. The detection uses a heuristic that requires
block-level markdown patterns, which reduces but doesn't eliminate this
risk.
2. **Removed focus guard**: The previous implementation used
`isFocusedRef` to prevent `onChange` from firing during programmatic
`setMarkdown` calls. This guard was removed as part of refactoring. The
assumption is that MDXEditor does not fire `onChange` during
`setMarkdown`, but this should be monitored for unexpected parent update
loops.
3. **Clipboard compatibility**: The paste handler specifically looks for
`text/plain` content and ignores `text/html` (to preserve existing HTML
paste behavior). This means pasting from rich text editors that provide
both HTML and plain text will continue to use the HTML path, which may
or may not be the desired behavior.

Long goal descriptions pushed the Create button below the viewport
with no way to scroll, making it impossible to submit the form. Add
overflow-y-auto and max-h-[50vh] to the description container so it
scrolls within the dialog while keeping the footer visible.
Closes#2631
Empty status columns took the same 260px width as populated ones,
wasting horizontal space and forcing unnecessary scrolling. Collapse
empty columns to 48px (showing only the status icon) and expand
them back when an issue is dragged over for drop targeting.
Closes#2279
Clearing the extra args field set the overlay value to undefined,
which gets dropped during object spread when building the PATCH
payload. The existing extraArgs from the agent config survived the
merge, making it impossible to clear the field. Use null so the
value explicitly overwrites the existing config entry.
Closes#2350
When a comment has both helpful/needswork feedback buttons and a run link,
the run link now appears right-aligned in the same row instead of a separate
section below. Comments with only a run link (no feedback buttons) still
show the run link in its own bordered row.

The "Don't allow" button in the feedback sharing preference modal
should be visually distinct from "Always allow" by using an outline
variant instead of the default solid primary style.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The UI serves agent management pages including an instructions editor with copy-to-clipboard buttons
> - The Clipboard API (`navigator.clipboard.writeText`) requires a secure context (HTTPS or localhost)
> - Users accessing the UI over HTTP on a LAN IP get "Copy failed" when clicking the copy icon
> - This pull request adds an `execCommand("copy")` fallback in `CopyText` for non-secure contexts
> - The benefit is that copy buttons work reliably regardless of whether the page is served over HTTPS or plain HTTP
## What Changed
- `ui/src/components/CopyText.tsx`: Added `window.isSecureContext` check before using `navigator.clipboard`. When unavailable, falls back to creating a temporary `<textarea>`, selecting its content, and using `document.execCommand("copy")`. The return value is checked and the DOM element is cleaned up via `try/finally`.
## Verification
- Access the UI over HTTP on a non-localhost IP (e.g. `http://[local-ip]:3100`)
- Navigate to any agent's instructions page → Advanced → click the copy icon next to Root path
- Should show "Copied!" tooltip and the path should be on the clipboard
## Risks
- Low risk. `execCommand("copy")` is deprecated in the spec but universally supported by all major browsers. The fallback only activates in non-secure contexts where the modern API is unavailable. If/when HTTPS is enabled, the modern `navigator.clipboard` path is used automatically.

The MarkdownEditor in the agent Configuration tab crashes when the
Capabilities field is fully cleared. The onChange handler converts empty
strings to null via (v || null), but the eff() overlay function then
returns that null to MDXEditor which expects a string, causing an
unhandled React crash and a blank screen.
Add a null-coalescing fallback (?? "") so MDXEditor always receives a
string.
