[codex] Refresh docs and agent skills (#4693)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents through a company-scoped control
plane
> - Contributors and agents need docs and skills that match the current
V1 behavior
> - The source branch included documentation updates alongside
implementation work
> - Keeping docs and skill guidance separate makes the implementation PR
easier to review
> - This pull request refreshes the V1 docs and agent-operating guidance
without changing runtime behavior
> - The benefit is current contributor guidance that can merge
independently from code changes

## What Changed

- Refreshed V1 product, goal, implementation, database, and development
documentation.
- Updated the Paperclip heartbeat skill guidance and create-agent skill
references.
- Added the Paperclip plan-to-task conversion skill.
- Updated release changelog skill guidance.

## Verification

- `git diff --check public-gh/master..HEAD` passed in the PR worktree
after the Greptile fix.
- Greptile Review passed on head `673317ed` with zero unresolved review
threads.
- GitHub PR checks passed on head `673317ed`: `policy`, `verify`, `e2e`,
and `security/snyk (cryppadotta)`.

## Risks

- Low runtime risk because this branch only changes docs and skill
guidance.
- Documentation may need follow-up wording adjustments if reviewers want
a different framing for V1 behavior.

> 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, GPT-5 coding agent, tool-enabled terminal/GitHub
workflow. Exact runtime context window was not exposed by the harness.

## 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 checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate
planned core work
- [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

### Configure
Set `DATABASE_URL` in your `.env`:
For the application runtime, use a direct PostgreSQL connection unless the database client has explicit prepared-statement configuration for your pooling mode:
```sh
DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres.[PROJECT-REF]:[PASSWORD]@aws-0-[REGION].pooler.supabase.com:6543/postgres
DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres.[PROJECT-REF]:[PASSWORD]@aws-0-[REGION].pooler.supabase.com:5432/postgres

For hosted deployments that use a pooled runtime URL, set
`DATABASE_MIGRATION_URL` to the direct connection URL. Paperclip uses it for
startup schema checks/migrations and plugin namespace migrations, while the app
continues to use `DATABASE_URL` for runtime queries:
If you later run the app with a pooled runtime URL, set `DATABASE_MIGRATION_URL` to the direct connection URL. Paperclip uses it for startup schema checks/migrations and plugin namespace migrations, while the app continues to use `DATABASE_URL` for runtime queries:

DATABASE_MIGRATION_URL=postgres://postgres.[PROJECT-REF]:[PASSWORD]@aws-0-[REGION].pooler.supabase.com:5432/postgres
```
If using connection pooling (port 6543), the `postgres` client must disable prepared statements. Update `packages/db/src/client.ts`:
```ts
export function createDb(url: string) {
const sql = postgres(url, { prepare: false });
return drizzlePg(sql, { schema });
}
```
If your hosted database requires transaction-pooling-only connections, use a direct or session-pooled connection for Paperclip until runtime pooling support is documented in this guide. Do not edit database client source files as part of deployment setup.
### Push the schema
```sh
# Use the direct connection (port 5432) for schema changes
DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres.[PROJECT-REF]:[PASSWORD]@...5432/postgres \

## Plugin database namespaces
The plugin runtime tracks plugin-owned database namespaces and migrations in `plugin_database_namespaces` and `plugin_migrations`. Hosted deployments that separate runtime and migration connections should set `DATABASE_MIGRATION_URL`; plugin namespace migration work uses the migration connection when present.
## Backups
Paperclip supports automatic and manual database backups. See `doc/DEVELOPING.md` for the current `paperclipai db:backup` / `pnpm db:backup` commands and backup retention configuration.
