## 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

## 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

- Plugin loader: install/reload/remove/reinstall external adapters
from npm packages or local directories
- Plugin store persisted at ~/.paperclip/adapter-plugins.json
- Self-healing UI parser resolution with version caching
- UI: Adapter Manager page, dynamic loader, display registry
with humanized names for unknown adapter types
- Dev watch: exclude adapter-plugins dir from tsx watcher
to prevent mid-request server restarts during reinstall
- All consumer fallbacks use getAdapterLabel() for consistent display
- AdapterTypeDropdown uses controlled open state for proper close behavior
- Remove hermes-local from built-in UI (externalized to plugin)
- Add docs for external adapters and UI parser contract
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.

- Added hideInstructionsFile prop to AdapterConfigFieldsProps
- All adapter config-fields now conditionally hide the instructions file
field when hideInstructionsFile is set (used during import since the
AGENTS.md is automatically set as promptTemplate)
- Import adapter config panel now renders ClaudeLocalAdvancedFields
(Chrome, skip permissions, max turns) when claude_local is selected
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
When importing a company, users can now choose the adapter type for each
imported agent. Defaults to the current company CEO's adapter type (or
claude_local if none). Includes an expandable "configure adapter" section
per agent that renders the adapter-specific config fields.
- Added adapterOverrides to import request schema and types
- Built AdapterPickerList UI component in CompanyImport.tsx
- Backend applies adapter overrides when creating/updating agents

The /company/import page now defaults the target dropdown to "Create new
company" instead of the current company. The existing company option is
still available in the dropdown.

Move the rename indicator (→ newName) in the file tree to only
display on the parent directory node, not on the individual file.
The preview header still shows the rename when viewing the file.

- Move "Import n files" button to right side of its container
- Show "→ newName" rename indicator next to files/directories in the
file tree when an agent or project is being renamed on import
- Show "→ newName" rename indicator in the file preview header when
viewing a file that will be renamed
- Uses cyan color to distinguish rename info from action badges
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
Move the "Import n files" button from the sticky header bar to below
the renames confirmation panel, so the user reviews renames first
before importing.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
- Remove COMPANY.md from renames panel; just uncheck it silently in
the file tree when importing to existing company
- Rename panel from "Conflicts to resolve" to "Renames"
- Add "skip" button on the left and "confirm rename" button on the
right of each rename row
- Confirmed renames show a green checkmark and green-tinted row
- Skipped items gray out and uncheck the file in the tree
- Un-confirmed renames still proceed with the rename by default
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
- Remove the collision strategy dropdown; always default to "rename"
- Add a "Conflicts to resolve" chores list above the package file tree
showing each collision with editable rename fields (oldname → newname)
- Default rename uses source folder prefix (e.g. gstack-CEO)
- Per-item "skip" button that syncs with file tree checkboxes
- COMPANY.md defaults to skip when importing to an existing company
- Add nameOverrides support to API types and server so user-edited
renames are passed through to the import

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.

When importing into an existing company, files with "update" action (conflicts)
now have their parent directories auto-expanded so users immediately see what
will be overwritten. Additionally, server-side warnings are generated for any
agent or project that will be overwritten by the import.

- update: blue → yellow (amber)
- overwrite/replace: added as red

No collisions are possible when the target is a new company, so the
dropdown is unnecessary. The grid layout also adjusts to single-column
when only the target field is shown.

- Add `files` and `manifest` to CompanyPortabilityPreviewResult so the
import UI can show actual file contents and metadata
- Rewrite import preview as a file/folder tree (matching export page
design language) with per-file checkboxes to include/exclude items
- Show action badges (create/update/skip) on each file based on the
import plan, with unchecked files dimmed and badged as "skip"
- Add rich frontmatter preview: clicking a file shows parsed frontmatter
as structured data (name, title, reportsTo, skills) plus markdown body
- Include skills count in the sidebar summary
- Update import button to show dynamic file count that updates on
check/uncheck
- Both /tree/ and /blob/ GitHub URLs already supported by backend
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
