## 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

## Thinking Path
<!--
Required. Trace your reasoning from the top of the project down to this
specific change. Start with what Paperclip is, then narrow through the
subsystem, the problem, and why this PR exists. Use blockquote style.
Aim for 5–8 steps. See CONTRIBUTING.md for full examples.
-->
- Paperclip allows to manage projects
- During the project creation you can optionally enter a description
- In the project overview or configuration you can edit the description
- However, you cannot remove the description
- The user should be able to remove the project description because it's
an optional property
- This pull request fixes the frontend bug that prevented the user to
remove/clear the project description
## What Changed
<!-- Bullet list of concrete changes. One bullet per logical unit. -->
- project description can be cleared in "project configuration" and
"project overview"
## Verification
<!--
How can a reviewer confirm this works? Include test commands, manual
steps, or both. For UI changes, include before/after screenshots.
-->
In project configuration or project overview:
- In the description field remove/clear the text
## Risks
<!--
What could go wrong? Mention migration safety, breaking changes,
behavioral shifts, or "Low risk" if genuinely minor.
-->
- none

Expose project and execution workspace runtime defaults, control endpoints, startup recovery, and operator UI for start/stop/restart flows.

Previously archiving a project silently navigated to /projects with no
feedback. Now it navigates to /dashboard and shows a success toast for
both archive and unarchive actions.
Closes PAP-521

- Rename "List" tab to "Issues" and reorder: Issues, Overview, Configuration
- Cache the last active tab per project in localStorage
- On revisit, restore the cached tab instead of always defaulting to Issues

The archive mutation lacked user feedback:
- No toast notification on success/failure
- Navigated to /projects instead of /dashboard after archiving
- No error handling if the API call failed
Added success/error toasts using the existing ToastContext, navigate
to /dashboard after archiving (matching user expectations), and error
toast on failure.

On mobile, the sidebar panel toggle was hidden (md:flex only). Add a
mobile-visible SlidersHorizontal button that opens a bottom Sheet drawer
with ProjectProperties, matching the existing pattern from IssueDetail.

When the properties pane was closed on a project page, there was no way
to reopen it. Add the same SlidersHorizontal toggle button used on issue
detail pages.

npm publishing. Bump CLI version to 0.1.0 and add package metadata
(description, keywords, license, repository, files). Update all
imports, documentation, user-facing messages, and tests accordingly.

Backend:
- Add router.param middleware in issues, activity, and agents routes to
resolve identifiers (e.g. PAP-39) to UUIDs before handlers run
- Simplify GET /issues/:id now that param middleware handles resolution
- Include identifier in getAncestors response and issuesForRun query
- Add identifier field to IssueAncestor shared type
Frontend:
- Update all issue navigation links across 15+ files to use
issue.identifier ?? issue.id instead of bare UUIDs
- Add URL redirect in IssueDetail: navigating via UUID automatically
replaces the URL with the human-readable identifier
- Fix childIssues filter to use issue.id (UUID) instead of URL param
so it works correctly with identifier-based URLs
- Add issueUrl() utility in lib/utils.ts
