## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Human operators supervise that work through issue lists, issue
detail, comments, inbox groups, markdown references, and
profile/activity surfaces
> - The branch had many small UI fixes that improve the operator loop
but do not need to ship with backend runtime migrations
> - These changes belong together as board workflow polish because they
affect scanning, navigation, issue context, comment state, and markdown
clarity
> - This pull request groups the UI-only slice so it can merge
independently from runtime/backend changes
> - The benefit is a clearer board experience with better issue context,
steadier optimistic updates, and more predictable keyboard navigation
## What Changed
- Improves issue properties, sub-issue actions, blocker chips, and issue
list/detail refresh behavior.
- Adds blocker context above the issue composer and stabilizes
queued/interrupted comment UI state.
- Improves markdown issue/GitHub link rendering and opens external
markdown links in a new tab.
- Adds inbox group keyboard navigation and fold/unfold support.
- Polishes activity/avatar/profile/settings/workspace presentation
details.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/IssueProperties.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssueChatThread.test.tsx
ui/src/components/MarkdownBody.test.tsx ui/src/lib/inbox.test.ts
ui/src/lib/optimistic-issue-comments.test.ts`
## Risks
- Low to medium risk: changes are UI-focused but cover high-traffic
issue and inbox surfaces.
- This branch intentionally does not include the backend runtime changes
from the companion PR; where UI calls newer API filters, unsupported
servers should continue to fail visibly through existing API error
handling.
- Visual screenshots were not captured in this heartbeat; targeted
component/helper tests cover the changed behavior.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip gives operators a live view of agent work across
dashboards, transcripts, and run activity charts
> - Those views consume live run updates and aggregate run activity from
backend dashboard data
> - Missing or partial run data could make charts brittle, and live
transcript updates were heavier than needed
> - Operators need dashboard data to stay stable even when recent run
payloads are incomplete
> - This pull request hardens dashboard run aggregation, guards chart
rendering, and lightens live run update handling
> - The benefit is a more reliable dashboard during active agent
execution
## What Changed
- Added dashboard run activity types and backend aggregation coverage.
- Guarded activity chart rendering when run data is missing or partial.
- Reduced live transcript update churn in active agent and run chat
surfaces.
- Fixed issue chat avatar alignment in the thread renderer.
- Added focused dashboard, activity chart, and live transcript tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --ignore-scripts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/dashboard-service.test.ts
ui/src/components/ActivityCharts.test.tsx
ui/src/components/transcript/useLiveRunTranscripts.test.tsx`
- Result: 8 tests passed, 1 skipped. The embedded Postgres dashboard
service test skipped on this host with the existing PGlite/Postgres init
warning; UI chart and transcript tests passed.
## Risks
- Medium-low risk: aggregation semantics changed, but the UI remains
guarded around incomplete data.
- The dashboard service test is host-skipped here, so CI should confirm
the embedded database path.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip operators spend much of their time in issues, inboxes,
selectors, and rich comment threads.
> - Small interaction problems in those surfaces slow down supervision
of AI-agent work.
> - The branch included related operator quality-of-life fixes for issue
layout, inbox actions, recent selectors, mobile inputs, and chat
rendering stability.
> - These changes are UI-focused and can land independently from
workspace navigation and access-profile work.
> - This pull request groups the operator QoL fixes into one standalone
branch.
> - The benefit is a more stable and efficient board workflow for issue
triage and task editing.
## What Changed
- Widened issue detail content and added a desktop inbox archive action.
- Fixed mobile text-field zoom by keeping touch input font sizes at
16px.
- Prioritized recent picker selections for assignees/projects in issue
and routine flows.
- Showed actionable approvals in the Mine inbox model.
- Fixed issue chat renderer state crashes and hardened tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/IssueChatThread.test.tsx
ui/src/lib/inbox.test.ts ui/src/lib/recent-selections.test.ts`
- Split integration check: merged last after the other
[PAP-1614](/PAP/issues/PAP-1614) branches with no merge conflicts.
- Confirmed this branch does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml`.
## Risks
- Low to medium risk: mostly UI state, layout, and selection-priority
behavior.
- Visual layout and mobile zoom behavior may need browser/device QA
beyond component tests.
- No database migrations are included.

## 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.

- 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

already-developed multi-user branch, and no browser screenshots were
captured during this heartbeat.

## 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
> - 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/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

Eliminates two visual glitches when a new agent run starts:
1. The initial "Working..." was rendered as plain text without the shimmer
animation or agent icon — now matches the proper working state styling.
2. A brief blank flash occurred when transcript chunks arrived but hadn't
produced parseable parts yet — fixed by deriving waitingText from parts
availability instead of the hasOutput flag.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
Replace useEffect with synchronous state derivation during render so
the browser never paints the unfolded intermediate state. This prevents
the visible "jump" when loading an issue page with already-completed
work sections like "worked for 4 minutes".
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
Clicking an image in a chat message now opens the same ImageGalleryModal
used by the attachments gallery. Matches by contentPath or assetId.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
Action bar for agent messages is now: [copy] [thumbs up] [thumbs down] [date] [three dots].
Date shows relative time (e.g. "2h ago") if < 1 week old, otherwise short date (e.g. "Apr 6").
Hovering the date shows full timestamp tooltip. Date links to the comment anchor.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
- Agent comment header now only shows name (+ running badge)
- Date, copy, thumbs up/down, and three-dots menu all in action bar
- Activity event STATUS/ASSIGNEE labels changed from text-[9px] to
text-xs to match value font size
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
Replace absolute positioning (-right-8) with a flex row layout for the
"You" avatar. The avatar now sits naturally to the right of the bubble
via flex justify-end + gap-2.5, avoiding overflow clipping issues.
Max-width 85% is on the content column, not the bubble div, so the
bubble + avatar together fill the row naturally.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
Use relative positioning with pr-8 reserved space and absolute
positioning for the avatar, so it sits outside the content column
boundary while the bubble's right edge aligns with the column edge.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
- Scale activity components (events, runs) to ~80% font size with
xs avatars for a quieter visual weight
- Hide succeeded runs from the timeline; only show failed/errored
- Always show three-dots menu on agent comments with "Copy message"
option, plus optional "View run" when available
- User avatar repositioned to top-right (items-start) of message
- Change "Me" → "You" in assignee labels for natural chat phrasing
("You updated this task")
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
- Agent messages: avatar outside left (matching feed items alignment),
always shown, consistently uses icon avatar instead of initials
- User messages: avatar outside right, action bar moved below the
gray bubble, gray darkened to bg-muted
- System events: right-aligned when actor is the current user
- Run messages: use agent icon avatar consistently
- Pass actorType/actorId in event metadata for current-user detection
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
User messages: right-aligned bubbles (85% max-width) with gray
background, no border. Hover reveals short date + copy icon.
Agent messages: borderless with avatar, name, date and three-dots
in header. Left-aligned action bar with icon-only copy, thumbs up,
and thumbs down. Thumbs down opens a floating popover for reason.

The IssueChatCtx.Provider was opened but never closed, causing the
context to not properly wrap the thread. This, combined with the
stable component references via context (already in place), ensures
OutputFeedbackButtons state is preserved across re-renders when
feedback votes update.

Strip the rounded border, padding, background gradient, and shadow
from ThreadPrimitive.Root so the chat thread flows naturally without
a bordered wrapper container.
