## 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
- 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
> - The web UI is a single-page app built with Vite and shipped as a
static bundle to every deployment
> - Production bundles carry `console.log` / `console.debug` calls from
dev code and `/*! … */` legal-comment banners from third-party packages
> - The console calls leak internals to anyone opening devtools and
waste bytes per call site; the legal banners accumulate throughout the
bundle
> - Both problems affect every self-hoster, since they all ship the same
UI bundle
> - This pull request configures esbuild (via `vite.config.ts`) to strip
`console` and `debugger` statements and drop inline legal comments from
production builds only
## What Changed
- `ui/vite.config.ts`:
- Switch to the functional `defineConfig(({ mode }) => …)` form.
- Add `build.minify: "esbuild"` (explicit — it's the existing default).
- Add `esbuild.drop: ["console", "debugger"]` and
`esbuild.legalComments: "none"`, gated on `mode === "production"` so
`vite dev` is unaffected.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` then grep the
`ui/dist/assets/*.js` bundle for `console.log` — no occurrences.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui dev` — `console.log` calls in source
still reach the browser console.
- Bundle size: small reduction (varies with project but measurable on a
fresh build).
## Risks
Low. No API surface change. Production code should not depend on
`console.*` for side effects; any call that did is now a dead call,
which is the same behavior most minifiers apply.
## Model Used
Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context), extended thinking mode.
