## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - The REST API is the control-plane boundary for companies, agents,
plugins, adapters, costs, invites, and issue mutations.
> - Several routes still relied on broad board or company access checks
without consistently enforcing the narrower actor, company, and
active-checkout boundaries those operations require.
> - That can allow agents or non-admin users to mutate sensitive
resources outside the intended governance path.
> - This pull request hardens the route authorization layer and adds
regression coverage for the audited API surfaces.
> - The benefit is tighter multi-company isolation, safer plugin and
adapter administration, and stronger enforcement of active issue
ownership.
## What Changed
- Added route-level authorization checks for budgets, plugin
administration/scoped routes, adapter management, company import/export,
direct agent creation, invite test resolution, and issue mutation/write
surfaces.
- Enforced active checkout ownership for agent-authenticated issue
mutations, while preserving explicit management overrides for permitted
managers.
- Restricted sensitive adapter and plugin management operations to
instance-admin or properly scoped actors.
- Tightened company portability and invite probing routes so agents
cannot cross company boundaries.
- Updated access constants and the Company Access UI copy for the new
active-checkout management grant.
- Added focused regression tests covering cross-company denial, agent
self-mutation denial, admin-only operations, and active checkout
ownership.
- Rebased the branch onto `public-gh/master` and fixed validation
fallout from the rebase: heartbeat-context route ordering and a company
import/export e2e fixture that now opts out of direct-hire approval
before using direct agent creation.
- Updated onboarding and signoff e2e setup to create seed agents through
`/agent-hires` plus board approval, so they remain compatible with the
approval-gated new-agent default.
- Addressed Greptile feedback by removing a duplicate company export API
alias, avoiding N+1 reporting-chain lookups in active-checkout override
checks, allowing agent mutations on unassigned `in_progress` issues, and
blocking NAT64 invite-probe targets.
## Verification

- `pnpm test:e2e -- tests/e2e/signoff-policy.spec.ts`
- `pnpm test:run` was also run. It failed under default full-suite
parallelism with two order-dependent failures in
`plugin-routes-authz.test.ts` and `routines-e2e.test.ts`; both files
passed when rerun directly together with `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/plugin-routes-authz.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/routines-e2e.test.ts`.
## Risks
- Medium risk: this changes authorization behavior across multiple
sensitive API surfaces, so callers that depended on broad board/company
access may now receive `403` or `409` until they use the correct
governance path.
- Direct agent creation now respects the company-level board-approval
requirement; integrations that need pending hires should use
`/api/companies/:companyId/agent-hires`.
- Active in-progress issue mutations now require checkout ownership or
an explicit management override, which may reveal workflow assumptions
in older automation.

## 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

When navigating to the company export page without a specific file in
the URL, select README.md by default instead of whichever file happens
to be first in the export result (previously COMPANY.md).

The frontend generateReadmeFromSelection() was building an inline Mermaid
diagram for the org chart. The server already generates a PNG at
images/org-chart.png, so the preview should reference it the same way.
Removed dead mermaidId/mermaidEscape/generateOrgChartMermaid helpers.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
The MarkdownBody component now accepts an optional resolveImageSrc callback
that maps relative image paths (like images/org-chart.png) to base64 data URLs
from the portable file entries. This fixes the export README showing a broken
image instead of the org chart PNG.
Applied to both CompanyExport and CompanyImport preview panes.

Tasks are now loaded by default on the export page (unchecked and
folded as before). The "Load task files" / "Hide task files" button
is removed since it is no longer needed.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
The tasks directory is now excluded from auto-expanded top-level
directories when the export page loads, keeping the tree cleaner.

- Org chart now uses a Mermaid flowchart (graph TD) instead of a
standalone SVG file — GitHub and the preview both render it natively
- Removed SVG generation code, layout algorithm, and image resolution
- Removed images/org-chart.svg from export output
- Simplified ExportPreviewPane (no more SVG/data-URI handling)
- Both server and client README generators produce Mermaid diagrams
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
The export page now syncs the selected file with the URL path, e.g.
/PAP/company/export/files/agents/cmo/AGENTS.md. Navigating to such a
URL directly selects and reveals the file in the tree. Browser
back/forward navigation is supported without page refreshes.

- README.md now regenerates in real-time when files are checked/unchecked
in the export file tree, so counts and tables reflect the actual selection
- SVG image references in markdown (e.g. images/org-chart.svg) resolve to
inline data URIs so the org chart renders in the README preview
- Fixes issue where unchecked tasks/projects were still counted in README
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
- Add inline SVG rendering for .svg files in ExportPreviewPane
- Update Getting Started to use simpler `company import` syntax

Extract duplicated file tree types, helpers (buildFileTree, countFiles,
collectAllPaths, parseFrontmatter), and visual tree component into a
shared PackageFileTree component. Both import and export pages now use
the same underlying tree with consistent alignment and styling.
Import-specific behavior (action badges, unchecked opacity) is handled
via renderFileExtra and fileRowClassName props. Also removes the file
count subtitle from the import sidebar to match the export page.

Change file row outer gap from gap-2 (8px) to gap-1 (4px) to match
the directory row grid gap-x-1, so file and folder icons line up
vertically.

When users check/uncheck files in the export preview, the .paperclip.yaml
now dynamically filters its agents/projects/tasks sections to only include
entries whose corresponding files are checked. This applies to both the
preview pane and the downloaded tar archive.

Clicking a skill pill in the frontmatter card now navigates to the
corresponding skills/<slug>/SKILL.md file in the export tree, expanding
parent directories as needed. No page reload required.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
- Move paddingLeft from inner label to outer grid div on directory rows
so folders align with files and the search field
- Remove "N files in rootPath" subtitle under Package files header

Show only 10 task entries at a time with a "Show more issues" button.
Checked/selected tasks are always pinned visible regardless of the page
limit. Search still works across all issues — matched results are pinned
and the load-more button is hidden during search so all matches show.

- Remove "N notes" indicator from the top bar
- Hide terminated agent messages entirely instead of showing as notes
- Style warnings as a rounded box with side borders and more margin

- Move all tasks to top-level tasks/ folder (no longer nested under
projects/slug/tasks/). The project slug is still in the frontmatter
for association.
- Search auto-expands parent dirs of matched files so matches are
always visible in the tree
- Restores previous expansion state when search is cleared
- All files already loaded in memory — search works across everything
with no pagination limit
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
- Separate terminated agent messages from warnings into info notes
(shown with subtle styling instead of amber warning banners)
- Clean up warning banner styles for dark mode compatibility
(use amber-500/20 borders and amber-500/5 backgrounds)
- Parse YAML frontmatter in markdown files and render as structured
data cards showing name, title, reportsTo, skills etc.
- Apply same warning style cleanup to import page
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
- Add /:company/company/export page with file tree, checkboxes for
per-file selection, and read-only preview pane (skills-style layout)
- Add /:company/company/import page with source form (GitHub/URL/local),
target/collision settings, preview tree with action badges, and detail pane
- Add Import/Export buttons to the Org Chart page header
- Replace import/export sections in CompanySettings with redirect links
- Clean up ~800 lines of dead code from CompanySettings
- Register new routes in App.tsx
