## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The company import/export e2e exercises the local CLI startup path
that boots the dev server inside a workspace
> - That startup path loads server and plugin code which depends on
built workspace package artifacts such as `@paperclipai/shared` and
`@paperclipai/plugin-sdk`
> - In a clean worktree those `dist/*` artifacts may not exist yet even
though `paperclipai run` can still attempt to import the local server
entry
> - That mismatch caused the import/export e2e to fail before the actual
company package flow ran
> - This pull request adds a CLI preflight step that prepares the needed
workspace build dependencies before the local server import and fails
closed if that preflight is interrupted or stalls
> - The benefit is that clean worktrees can boot `paperclipai run`
reliably without silently continuing after incomplete dependency
preparation
## What Changed
- Updated `cli/src/commands/run.ts` to execute
`scripts/ensure-plugin-build-deps.mjs` before importing
`server/src/index.ts` for local dev startup.
- Ensured `paperclipai run` can materialize missing workspace artifacts
such as `packages/shared/dist` and `packages/plugins/sdk/dist`
automatically in clean worktrees.
- Made the preflight fail closed when the child process exits via signal
and bounded it with a 120-second timeout so the CLI does not hang
indefinitely.
- Kept the fix isolated to the CLI startup path; no API contract,
schema, or UI behavior changed.
- Reused the existing
`cli/src/__tests__/company-import-export-e2e.test.ts` coverage that
already exercises the failing boot path, so no additional test file was
needed.
## Verification
- `pnpm test:run cli/src/__tests__/company-import-export-e2e.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter paperclipai typecheck`
- On the isolated branch, confirmed `packages/shared/dist/index.js` and
`packages/plugins/sdk/dist/index.js` were absent before the run, then
reran the targeted e2e and observed a passing result.
## Risks
- Low risk: the change only affects the local CLI dev startup path
before the server import.
- Residual risk: other entrypoints still rely on their own
preflight/build behavior, so this does not normalize every workspace
startup path.
- The 120-second timeout is intentionally generous, but unusually slow
machines could still hit it and surface a startup error instead of
waiting forever.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-based coding agent in the Codex CLI environment,
with shell/tool execution enabled. The exact runtime revision and
context window are not exposed by this environment.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents and company-scoped control-plane
actions for zero-human companies.
> - This change touches the server authz boundary around company
portability, approvals, activity, and heartbeat-run operations.
> - The vulnerability was that board-authenticated callers could cross
company boundaries or create new companies through import paths without
the same authorization checks enforced elsewhere.
> - Once that gap existed, an attacker could chain it into higher-impact
behavior through agent execution paths.
> - The fix needed to harden every confirmed authorization gap in the
reported chain, not just the first route that exposed it.
> - This pull request adds the missing instance-admin and company-access
checks and adds regression tests for each affected route.
> - The benefit is that cross-company actions and new-company import
flows now follow the same control-plane authorization rules as the rest
of the product.
## What Changed
- Required instance-admin access for `new_company` import preview/apply
flows in `server/src/routes/companies.ts`.
- Required company access before approval decision routes in
`server/src/routes/approvals.ts`.
- Required company access for activity creation and heartbeat-run issue
listing in `server/src/routes/activity.ts`.
- Required company access before heartbeat cancellation in
`server/src/routes/agents.ts`.
- Added regression coverage in the corresponding server route tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/company-portability-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/approval-routes-idempotency.test.ts
src/__tests__/activity-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/agent-permissions-routes.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- Prior verification on the original security patch branch also included
`pnpm build`.
## Risks
- Low code risk: the change is narrow and only adds missing
authorization gates to existing routes.
- Operational risk: the advisory is already public, so this PR should be
merged quickly to minimize the public unpatched window.
- Residual product risk remains around open signup / bootstrap defaults,
which was intentionally left out of this patch because the current
first-user onboarding flow depends on it.
## Model Used
- OpenAI GPT-5 Codex coding agent with tool use and local code execution
in the Codex CLI environment.

Agent configuration edits already had an API path for replacing the full adapterConfig, but the edit form was still sending merge-style patches. That meant clearing the last environment variable serialized as undefined, the key disappeared from JSON, and the server merged the old env bindings back into the saved config.
Build adapter config save payloads as full replacement patches, strip undefined keys before send, and reuse the existing replaceAdapterConfig contract so explicit clears persist correctly. Add regression coverage for the cleared-env case and for adapter-type changes that still need to preserve adapter-agnostic fields.
Fixes#3179

Use createHistoricalTranscriptMessage for failed/cancelled/timed_out
runs even before transcript data loads. This prevents the flash where
a plain "run X failed" status line transforms into a foldable "failed
after X minutes" header when transcripts arrive asynchronously.

Move child indentation from wrapper paddingLeft into desktopMetaLeading
so the unread dot stays in the leftmost column regardless of nesting
depth. When nesting is enabled, all issue rows get a fixed-width folding
column (chevron or empty spacer) for consistent alignment. Children
indent after the folding column. When nesting is disabled, no folding
column is rendered.

Builds a flat navigation list that includes expanded child issues alongside
top-level items, so j/k moves through every visible row including children.
Also adds the NavEntry type and updates archive/read/enter actions to work
with both top-level work items and nested child issues.

Adds a ListTree icon button in the inbox top bar to toggle nesting
on/off. Preference is persisted in localStorage. When disabled, all
issues display as a flat list without grouping.
