## 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.

`public-gh/master` before PR creation.
- 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
- [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability
details)
- [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
Note on screenshots: this is a branch-consolidation PR for an
already-developed multi-user branch, and no browser screenshots were
captured during this heartbeat.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The board depends on issue, inbox, cost, and company-skill surfaces
to stay accurate and fast while agents are actively working
> - The PAP-1497 follow-up branch exposed a few rough edges in those
surfaces: stale active-run state on completed issues, missing creator
filters, oversized issue payload scans, and placeholder issue-route
parsing
> - Those gaps make the control plane harder to trust because operators
can see misleading run state, miss the right subset of work, or pay
extra query/render cost on large issue records
> - This pull request tightens those follow-ups across server and UI
code, and adds regression coverage for the affected paths
> - The benefit is a more reliable issue workflow, safer high-volume
cost aggregation, and clearer board/operator navigation
## What Changed
- Added the `v2026.415.0` release changelog entry.
- Fixed stale issue-run presentation after completion and reused the
shared issue-path parser so literal route placeholders no longer become
issue links.
- Added creator filters to the Issues page and Inbox, including
persisted filter-state normalization and regression coverage.
- Bounded issue detail/list project-mention scans and trimmed large
issue-list payload fields to keep issue reads lighter.
- Hardened company-skill list projection and cost/finance aggregation so
large markdown blobs and large summed values do not leak into list
responses or overflow 32-bit casts.
- Added targeted server/UI regression tests for company skills,
costs/finance, issue mention scanning, creator filters, inbox
normalization, and issue reference parsing.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/costs-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issues-goal-context-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts ui/src/lib/inbox.test.ts
ui/src/lib/issue-filters.test.ts ui/src/lib/issue-reference.test.ts`
- `gh pr checks 3779`
Current pass set on the PR head: `policy`, `verify`, `e2e`,
`security/snyk (cryppadotta)`, `Greptile Review`
## Risks
- Creator filter options are derived from the currently loaded
issue/agent data, so very sparse result sets may not surface every
historical creator until they appear in the active dataset.
- Cost/finance aggregate casts now use `double precision`; that removes
the current overflow risk, but future schema changes should keep
large-value aggregation behavior under review.
- Issue detail mention scanning now skips comment-body scans on the
detail route, so any consumer that relied on comment-only project
mentions there would need to fetch them separately.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-based coding agent with terminal tool use and
local code execution in the Paperclip workspace. Exact internal model
ID/context-window exposure is not surfaced in this session.

The embedded-postgres library hardcodes --lc-messages=en_US.UTF-8 and
strips the parent process environment when spawning initdb/postgres.
In slim Docker images (e.g. node:20-bookworm-slim), the en_US.UTF-8
locale isn't installed, causing initdb to exit with code 1.
Two fixes applied:
1. Add --lc-messages=C to all initdbFlags arrays (overrides the
library's hardcoded locale since our flags come after in the spread)
2. pnpm patch on embedded-postgres to preserve process.env in spawn
calls, preventing loss of PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and other vars
