## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip agents do real work in project and execution workspaces.
> - Operators need workspace state to be visible, navigable, and
copyable without digging through raw run logs.
> - The branch included related workspace cards, navigation, runtime
controls, stale-service handling, and issue-property visibility.
> - These changes share the workspace UI and runtime-control surfaces
and can stand alone from unrelated access/profile work.
> - This pull request groups the workspace experience changes into one
standalone branch.
> - The benefit is a clearer workspace overview, better metadata copy
flows, and more accurate runtime service controls.
## What Changed
- Polished project workspace summary cards and made workspace metadata
copyable.
- Added a workspace navigation overview and extracted reusable project
workspace content.
- Squared and polished the execution workspace configuration page.
- Fixed stale workspace command matching and hid stopped stale services
in runtime controls.
- Showed live workspace service context in issue properties.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
ui/src/components/ProjectWorkspaceSummaryCard.test.tsx
ui/src/lib/project-workspaces-tab.test.ts
ui/src/components/Sidebar.test.tsx
ui/src/components/WorkspaceRuntimeControls.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssueProperties.test.tsx`
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/workspace-commands.test.ts
--config /dev/null` because the root Vitest project config does not
currently include `packages/shared` tests.
- Split integration check: merged after runtime/governance,
dev-infra/backups, and access/profiles with no merge conflicts.
- Confirmed this branch does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml`.
## Risks
- Medium risk: touches workspace navigation, runtime controls, and issue
property rendering.
- Visual layout changes may need browser QA, especially around smaller
screens and dense workspace metadata.
- No database migrations are included.
> 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-5.4 tool-enabled coding model, agentic
code-editing/runtime with local shell and GitHub CLI access; exact
context window and reasoning mode are not exposed by the Paperclip
harness.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - That operator experience depends not just on issue chat, but also on
how workspaces, inbox groups, and navigation state behave over
long-running sessions
> - The current branch included a separate cluster of workspace-runtime
controls, inbox grouping, sidebar ordering, and worktree lifecycle fixes
> - Those changes cross server, shared contracts, database state, and UI
navigation, but they still form one coherent operator workflow area
> - This pull request isolates the workspace/runtime and navigation
ergonomics work into one standalone branch
> - The benefit is better workspace recovery and navigation persistence
without forcing reviewers through the unrelated issue-detail/chat work
## What Changed
- Improved execution workspace and project workspace controls, request
wiring, layout, and JSON editor ergonomics
- Hardened linked worktree reuse/startup behavior and documented the
`worktree repair` flow for recovering linked worktrees safely
- Added inbox workspace grouping, mobile collapse, archive undo,
keyboard navigation, shared group-header styling, and persisted
collapsed-group behavior
- Added persistent sidebar order preferences with the supporting DB
migration, shared/server contracts, routes, services, hooks, and UI
integration
- Scoped issue-list preferences by context and added targeted UI/server
tests for workspace controls, inbox behavior, sidebar preferences, and
worktree validation
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/sidebar-preferences-routes.test.ts
ui/src/pages/Inbox.test.tsx
ui/src/components/ProjectWorkspaceSummaryCard.test.tsx
ui/src/components/WorkspaceRuntimeControls.test.tsx
ui/src/api/workspace-runtime-control.test.ts`
- `server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts` was attempted, but
the embedded Postgres suite self-skipped/hung on this host after
reporting an init-script issue, so it is not counted as a local pass
here
## Risks
- Medium: this branch includes migration-backed preference storage plus
worktree/runtime behavior, so merge review should pay attention to state
persistence and worktree recovery semantics
- The sidebar preference migration is standalone, but it should still be
watched for conflicts if another migration lands first
## 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

- Add overflow-hidden to the outer container to prevent horizontal scroll
- Add min-w-0 to grid children so long monospace content in inputs
respects container width instead of expanding it
- Truncate the workspace name heading for long names
- Add min-w-0 to the header name container

When unchecking the "Inherit project workspace runtime config" checkbox,
if the runtime config field is empty, automatically populate it with the
inherited config value so the user has a starting point to edit from.
Existing values are preserved and never overwritten.
