## 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.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Operators rely on issue, inbox, and routine views to understand what
the company is doing in real time
> - Those views need to stay fast and readable even when issue lists,
markdown comments, and run metadata get large
> - The current branch had a coherent set of UI and live-update
improvements spread across issue search, issue detail rendering, routine
affordances, and workspace lookups
> - This pull request groups those board-facing changes into one
standalone branch that can merge independently of the heartbeat/runtime
work
> - The benefit is a faster, clearer issue and routine workflow without
changing the underlying task model
## What Changed
- Show routine execution issues by default and rename the filter to
`Hide routine runs` so the default state no longer looks like an active
filter.
- Show the routine name in the run dialog and tighten the issue
properties pane with a workspace link, copy-on-click behavior, and an
inline parent arrow.
- Reduce issue detail rerenders, keep queued issue chat mounted, improve
issues page search responsiveness, and speed up issues first paint.
- Add inbox "other search results", refresh visible issue runs after
status updates, and optimize workspace lookups through summary-mode
execution workspace queries.
- Improve markdown wrapping and scrolling behavior for long strings and
self-comment code blocks.
- Relax the markdown sanitizer assertion so the test still validates
safety after the new wrap-friendly inline styles.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run ui/src/components/IssuesList.test.tsx
ui/src/lib/inbox.test.ts ui/src/pages/Issues.test.tsx
ui/src/context/BreadcrumbContext.test.tsx
ui/src/context/LiveUpdatesProvider.test.ts
ui/src/components/MarkdownBody.test.tsx
ui/src/api/execution-workspaces.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-routes.test.ts`
## Risks
- This touches several issue-facing UI surfaces at once, so regressions
would most likely show up as stale rendering, search result mismatches,
or small markdown presentation differences.
- The workspace lookup optimization depends on the summary-mode route
shape staying aligned between server and UI.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-based coding agent in the Codex CLI environment.
Exact backend model deployment ID was not exposed in-session.
Tool-assisted editing and shell execution were used.

## 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

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.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
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.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
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.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
Groups child issues under their parent in the inbox, matching the
nesting pattern used on the issues list page. Parent groups sort by
the most recent activity across all family members. Archived parents
don't hide their children — orphans show independently.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
Adds a "parent" column option to the inbox column toggle dropdown.
When enabled, sub-issues display the parent's identifier (e.g. PAP-123)
with the parent title as a tooltip. Uses the existing issueById lookup
map to resolve parent info without additional API calls.

On mobile, the search input, tab selector, and "Show / hide columns" button
were all crammed into one row causing horizontal overflow. Now:
- Search appears as a full-width row above the tabs on mobile
- "Show / hide columns" button is hidden on mobile (columns are desktop-only)
- Desktop layout is unchanged

The archive mutation was only using CSS opacity to hide items while the
network request was in flight. When the query refetch completed or the
archiving timer expired, the item could reappear. Now we optimistically
remove the item from React Query caches on mutate, snapshot previous
data for rollback on error, and sync with the server in onSettled.

Replace outline approach (blended with card border, invisible) with:
- 3px blue left-border bar (absolute positioned, like Gmail)
- Subtle tinted background with forced transparent children so the
highlight shows through opaque child backgrounds

Refactored keyboard handler to use refs (kbStateRef, kbActionsRef) for
all mutable state and actions. This ensures the single stable event
listener always reads fresh values instead of relying on effect
dependency re-registration which could miss updates.
Also fixed selection highlight visibility: replaced bg-accent (too
subtle) with bg-primary/10 + outline-primary/30 which is clearly
visible in both light and dark modes.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
Replace ring-2 outline (clipped by overflow-hidden container) with
bg-accent background color for the selected item. Visible in both
light and dark modes.

Restructured the inbox header layout to always keep tabs and the
button on the same row using flex justify-between (no responsive
column stacking). Filter dropdowns for the All tab are now on a
separate row below.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
Moved the button out of the tabs wrapper and into the right-side flex
container so it aligns to the right instead of wrapping below the tabs.
The button now sits alongside the filter dropdowns (on the All tab) or
alone on the right (on other tabs).

All keyboard shortcuts (j/k/a/y/U/r/Enter) now only fire when the
user is on the "Mine" tab. Previously j/k and other navigation
shortcuts were active on all tabs.

Both a and y now archive the selected item in the mine tab.
Archive requires selecting an item first with j/k navigation.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
j/k navigate up/down, a to archive, U to mark unread, r to mark read,
Enter to open. Includes server-side DELETE /issues/:id/read endpoint
for mark-unread support on issues.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
Shows a dark gray horizontal line with "Today" label on the right,
vertically centered, between items from the last 24 hours and older
items. Applies to all inbox tabs (Mine, Recent, Unread, All).

Repositions the unread dot and archive X button to the leading
(left) side of approval, failed run, and join request rows,
matching the visual alignment of IssueRow where the unread slot
appears first due to CSS flex ordering.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
Approvals, failed runs, and join requests now have the same
unread dot + archive X pattern as issues in the Mine tab:
- Click the blue dot to mark as read, then X appears on hover
- Desktop: animated dismiss with scale/slide transition
- Mobile: swipe-to-archive via SwipeToArchive wrapper
- Dismissed items are filtered out of Mine tab
- Badge count excludes dismissed approvals and join requests
- localStorage-backed read/dismiss state for non-issue items
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
The unread dot and dismiss X now share the same rightmost column on
the Mine tab. When an issue is unread the blue dot shows first;
clicking it marks the issue as read and reveals the X on hover for
archiving. Read/unread state stays in sync across all inbox tabs.
Desktop dismiss animation polished with scale + slide.

Join requests were displayed in a separate card-style section below the main
inbox list. This moves them into the unified work items feed so they sort
chronologically alongside issues, approvals, and failed runs—matching the
inline treatment hiring requests already receive.

Priority is still supported as a feature (editable in issue properties,
used in filters), but no longer shown prominently in every issue row.
Affects inbox, issues list, my issues, and dashboard pages.
