-  Create agent company packages conforming to the Agent Companies specification
-  (agentcompanies/v1). Use when a user wants to create a new agent company from
-  scratch, build a company around an existing git repo or skills collection, or
-  scaffold a team/department of agents. Triggers on: "create a company", "make me
-  a company", "build a company from this repo", "set up an agent company",
-  "create a team of agents", "hire some agents", or when given a repo URL and
-  asked to turn it into a company. Do NOT use for importing an existing company
-  package (use the CLI import command instead) or for modifying a company that
-  is already running in Paperclip.

-# Company Creator
-
-Create agent company packages that conform to the Agent Companies specification.
-
-Spec references:
-
-- Normative spec: `docs/companies/companies-spec.md` (read this before generating files)
-- Web spec: https://agentcompanies.io/specification
-- Protocol site: https://agentcompanies.io/
-
-## Two Modes
-
-### Mode 1: Company From Scratch
-
-The user describes what they want. Interview them to flesh out the vision, then generate the package.
-
-### Mode 2: Company From a Repo
-
-The user provides a git repo URL, local path, or tweet. Analyze the repo, then create a company that wraps it.
-
-See [references/from-repo-guide.md](references/from-repo-guide.md) for detailed repo analysis steps.
-
-## Process
-
-### Step 1: Gather Context
-
-Determine which mode applies:
-
-- **From scratch**: What kind of company or team? What domain? What should the agents do?
-- **From repo**: Clone/read the repo. Scan for existing skills, agent configs, README, source structure.
-
-### Step 2: Interview (Use AskUserQuestion)
-
-Do not skip this step. Use AskUserQuestion to align with the user before writing any files.
-
-**For from-scratch companies**, ask about:
-
-- Company purpose and domain (1-2 sentences is fine)
-- What agents they need - propose a hiring plan based on what they described
-- Whether this is a full company (needs a CEO) or a team/department (no CEO required)
-- Any specific skills the agents should have
-- How work flows through the organization (see "Workflow" below)
-- Whether they want projects and starter tasks
-
-**For from-repo companies**, present your analysis and ask:
-
-- Confirm the agents you plan to create and their roles
-- Whether to reference or vendor any discovered skills (default: reference)
-- Any additional agents or skills beyond what the repo provides
-- Company name and any customization
-- Confirm the workflow you inferred from the repo (see "Workflow" below)
-
-**Workflow — how does work move through this company?**
-
-A company is not just a list of agents with skills. It's an organization that takes ideas and turns them into work products. You need to understand the workflow so each agent knows:
-
-- Who gives them work and in what form (a task, a branch, a question, a review request)
-- What they do with it
-- Who they hand off to when they're done, and what that handoff looks like
-- What "done" means for their role
-
-**Not every company is a pipeline.** Infer the right workflow pattern from context:
-
-- **Pipeline** — sequential stages, each agent hands off to the next. Use when the repo/domain has a clear linear process (e.g. plan → build → review → ship → QA, or content ideation → draft → edit → publish).
-- **Hub-and-spoke** — a manager delegates to specialists who report back independently. Use when agents do different kinds of work that don't feed into each other (e.g. a CEO who dispatches to a researcher, a marketer, and an analyst).
-- **Collaborative** — agents work together on the same things as peers. Use for small teams where everyone contributes to the same output (e.g. a design studio, a brainstorming team).
-- **On-demand** — agents are summoned as needed with no fixed flow. Use when agents are more like a toolbox of specialists the user calls directly.
-
-For from-scratch companies, propose a workflow pattern based on what they described and ask if it fits.
-
-For from-repo companies, infer the pattern from the repo's structure. If skills have a clear sequential dependency (like `plan-ceo-review → plan-eng-review → review → ship → qa`), that's a pipeline. If skills are independent capabilities, it's more likely hub-and-spoke or on-demand. State your inference in the interview so the user can confirm or adjust.
-
-**Key interviewing principles:**
-
-- Propose a concrete hiring plan. Don't ask open-ended "what agents do you want?" - suggest specific agents based on context and let the user adjust.
-- Keep it lean. Most users are new to agent companies. A few agents (3-5) is typical for a startup. Don't suggest 10+ agents unless the scope demands it.
-- From-scratch companies should start with a CEO who manages everyone. Teams/departments don't need one.
-- Ask 2-3 focused questions per round, not 10.
-
-### Step 3: Read the Spec
-
-Before generating any files, read the normative spec:
-
-```
-docs/companies/companies-spec.md
-```
-
-Also read the quick reference: [references/companies-spec.md](references/companies-spec.md)
-
-And the example: [references/example-company.md](references/example-company.md)
-
-### Step 4: Generate the Package
-
-Create the directory structure and all files. Follow the spec's conventions exactly.
-
-**Directory structure:**
-
-```
-<company-slug>/
-├── COMPANY.md
-├── agents/
-│   └── <slug>/AGENTS.md
-├── teams/
-│   └── <slug>/TEAM.md        (if teams are needed)
-├── projects/
-│   └── <slug>/PROJECT.md     (if projects are needed)
-├── tasks/
-│   └── <slug>/TASK.md        (if tasks are needed)
-├── skills/
-│   └── <slug>/SKILL.md       (if custom skills are needed)
-└── .paperclip.yaml            (Paperclip vendor extension)
-```
-
-**Rules:**
-
-- Slugs must be URL-safe, lowercase, hyphenated
-- COMPANY.md gets `schema: agentcompanies/v1` - other files inherit it
-- Agent instructions go in the AGENTS.md body, not in .paperclip.yaml
-- Skills referenced by shortname in AGENTS.md resolve to `skills/<shortname>/SKILL.md`
-- For external skills, use `sources` with `usage: referenced` (see spec section 12)
-- Do not export secrets, machine-local paths, or database IDs
-- Omit empty/default fields
-- For companies generated from a repo, add a references footer at the bottom of COMPANY.md body:
-  `Generated from [repo-name](repo-url) with the company-creator skill from [Paperclip](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip)`
-
-**Reporting structure:**
-
-- Every agent except the CEO should have `reportsTo` set to their manager's slug
-- The CEO has `reportsTo: null`
-- For teams without a CEO, the top-level agent has `reportsTo: null`
-
-**Writing workflow-aware agent instructions:**
-
-Each AGENTS.md body should include not just what the agent does, but how they fit into the organization's workflow. Include:
-
-1. **Where work comes from** — "You receive feature ideas from the user" or "You pick up tasks assigned to you by the CTO"
-2. **What you produce** — "You produce a technical plan with architecture diagrams" or "You produce a reviewed, approved branch ready for shipping"
-3. **Who you hand off to** — "When your plan is locked, hand off to the Staff Engineer for implementation" or "When review passes, hand off to the Release Engineer to ship"
-4. **What triggers you** — "You are activated when a new feature idea needs product-level thinking" or "You are activated when a branch is ready for pre-landing review"
-
-This turns a collection of agents into an organization that actually works together. Without workflow context, agents operate in isolation — they do their job but don't know what happens before or after them.
-
-### Step 5: Confirm Output Location
-
-Ask the user where to write the package. Common options:
-
-- A subdirectory in the current repo
-- A new directory the user specifies
-- The current directory (if it's empty or they confirm)
-
-### Step 6: Write README.md and LICENSE
-
-**README.md** — every company package gets a README. It should be a nice, readable introduction that someone browsing GitHub would appreciate. Include:
-
-- Company name and what it does
-- The workflow / how the company operates
-- Org chart as a markdown list or table showing agents, titles, reporting structure, and skills
-- Brief description of each agent's role
-- Citations and references: link to the source repo (if from-repo), link to the Agent Companies spec (https://agentcompanies.io/specification), and link to Paperclip (https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip)
-- A "Getting Started" section explaining how to import: `paperclipai company import --from <path>`
-
-**LICENSE** — include a LICENSE file. The copyright holder is the user creating the company, not the upstream repo author (they made the skills, the user is making the company). Use the same license type as the source repo (if from-repo) or ask the user (if from-scratch). Default to MIT if unclear.
-
-### Step 7: Write Files and Summarize
-
-Write all files, then give a brief summary:
-
-- Company name and what it does
-- Agent roster with roles and reporting structure
-- Skills (custom + referenced)
-- Projects and tasks if any
-- The output path
-
-## .paperclip.yaml Guidelines
-
-The `.paperclip.yaml` file is the Paperclip vendor extension. It configures adapters and env inputs per agent.
-
-### Adapter Rules
-
-**Do not specify an adapter unless the repo or user context warrants it.** If you don't know what adapter the user wants, omit the adapter block entirely — Paperclip will use its default. Specifying an unknown adapter type causes an import error.
-
-Paperclip's supported adapter types (these are the ONLY valid values):
-- `claude_local` — Claude Code CLI
-- `codex_local` — Codex CLI
-- `opencode_local` — OpenCode CLI
-- `pi_local` — Pi CLI
-- `cursor` — Cursor
-- `gemini_local` — Gemini CLI
-- `openclaw_gateway` — OpenClaw gateway
-
-Only set an adapter when:
-- The repo or its skills clearly target a specific runtime (e.g. gstack is built for Claude Code, so `claude_local` is appropriate)
-- The user explicitly requests a specific adapter
-- The agent's role requires a specific runtime capability
-
-### Env Inputs Rules
-
-**Do not add boilerplate env variables.** Only add env inputs that the agent actually needs based on its skills or role:
-- `GH_TOKEN` for agents that push code, create PRs, or interact with GitHub
-- API keys only when a skill explicitly requires them
-- Never set `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` as a default empty env variable — the runtime handles this
-
-Example with adapter (only when warranted):
-```yaml
-schema: paperclip/v1
-agents:
-  release-engineer:
-    adapter:
-      type: claude_local
-      config:
-        model: claude-sonnet-4-6
-    inputs:
-      env:
-        GH_TOKEN:
-          kind: secret
-          requirement: optional
-```
-
-Example — only agents with actual overrides appear:
-```yaml
-schema: paperclip/v1
-agents:
-  release-engineer:
-    inputs:
-      env:
-        GH_TOKEN:
-          kind: secret
-          requirement: optional
-```
-
-In this example, only `release-engineer` appears because it needs `GH_TOKEN`. The other agents (ceo, cto, etc.) have no overrides, so they are omitted entirely from `.paperclip.yaml`.
-
-## External Skill References
-
-When referencing skills from a GitHub repo, always use the references pattern:
-
-```yaml
-metadata:
-  sources:
-    - kind: github-file
-      repo: owner/repo
-      path: path/to/SKILL.md
-      commit: <full SHA from git ls-remote or the repo>
-      attribution: Owner or Org Name
-      license: <from the repo's LICENSE>
-      usage: referenced
-```
-
-Get the commit SHA with:
-
-```bash
-git ls-remote https://github.com/owner/repo HEAD
-```
-
-Do NOT copy external skill content into the package unless the user explicitly asks.

-# Creating a Company From an Existing Repository
-
-When a user provides a git repo (URL, local path, or tweet linking to a repo), analyze it and create a company package that wraps its content.
-
-## Analysis Steps
-
-1. **Clone or read the repo** - Use `git clone` for URLs, read directly for local paths
-2. **Scan for existing agent/skill files** - Look for SKILL.md, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .claude/ directories, or similar agent configuration
-3. **Understand the repo's purpose** - Read README, package.json, main source files to understand what the project does
-4. **Identify natural agent roles** - Based on the repo's structure and purpose, determine what agents would be useful
-
-## Handling Existing Skills
-
-Many repos already contain skills (SKILL.md files). When you find them:
-
-**Default behavior: use references, not copies.**
-
-Instead of copying skill content into your company package, create a source reference:
-
-```yaml
-metadata:
-  sources:
-    - kind: github-file
-      repo: owner/repo
-      path: path/to/SKILL.md
-      commit: <get the current HEAD commit SHA>
-      attribution: <repo owner or org name>
-      license: <from repo's LICENSE file>
-      usage: referenced
-```
-
-To get the commit SHA:
-```bash
-git ls-remote https://github.com/owner/repo HEAD
-```
-
-Only vendor (copy) skills when:
-- The user explicitly asks to copy them
-- The skill is very small and tightly coupled to the company
-- The source repo is private or may become unavailable
-
-## Handling Existing Agent Configurations
-
-If the repo has agent configs (CLAUDE.md, .claude/ directories, codex configs, etc.):
-- Use them as inspiration for AGENTS.md instructions
-- Don't copy them verbatim - adapt them to the Agent Companies format
-- Preserve the intent and key instructions
-
-## Repo-Only Skills (No Agents)
-
-When a repo contains only skills and no agents:
-- Create agents that would naturally use those skills
-- The agents should be minimal - just enough to give the skills a runtime context
-- A single agent may use multiple skills from the repo
-- Name agents based on the domain the skills cover
-
-Example: A repo with `code-review`, `testing`, and `deployment` skills might become:
-- A "Lead Engineer" agent with all three skills
-- Or separate "Reviewer", "QA Engineer", and "DevOps" agents if the skills are distinct enough
-
-## Common Repo Patterns
-
-### Developer Tools / CLI repos
-- Create agents for the tool's primary use cases
-- Reference any existing skills
-- Add a project maintainer or lead agent
-
-### Library / Framework repos
-- Create agents for development, testing, documentation
-- Skills from the repo become agent capabilities
-
-### Full Application repos
-- Map to departments: engineering, product, QA
-- Create a lean team structure appropriate to the project size
-
-### Skills Collection repos (e.g. skills.sh repos)
-- Each skill or skill group gets an agent
-- Create a lightweight company or team wrapper
-- Keep the agent count proportional to the skill diversity

-## Step 1 — Choose the Candidate
+## Step 1 — Decide the Stable Version
 
-For canary validation:
-
-- inspect the latest successful canary run on `master`
-- record the canary version and source SHA
-
-For stable promotion:
-
-1. choose the tested source ref
-2. confirm it is the exact SHA you want to promote
-3. resolve the target stable version with `./scripts/release.sh stable --date YYYY-MM-DD --print-version`
-
-Useful commands:
+Start the release train first:
 
 ```bash
-git tag --list 'v*' --sort=-version:refname | head -1
-git log --oneline --no-merges
-npm view paperclipai@canary version
+./scripts/release-start.sh {patch|minor|major}
 ```
 
+Then run release preflight:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/release-preflight.sh canary {patch|minor|major}
+# or
+./scripts/release-preflight.sh stable {patch|minor|major}
+```
+
+Then use the last stable tag as the base:
+
+```bash
+LAST_TAG=$(git tag --list 'v*' --sort=-version:refname | head -1)
+git log "${LAST_TAG}..HEAD" --oneline --no-merges
+git diff --name-only "${LAST_TAG}..HEAD" -- packages/db/src/migrations/
+git diff "${LAST_TAG}..HEAD" -- packages/db/src/schema/
+git log "${LAST_TAG}..HEAD" --format="%s" | rg -n 'BREAKING CHANGE|BREAKING:|^[a-z]+!:' || true
+```
+
+Bump policy:
+
+- destructive migrations, removed APIs, breaking config changes -> `major`
+- additive migrations or clearly user-visible features -> at least `minor`
+- fixes only -> `patch`
+
+If the requested bump is too low, escalate it and explain why.
+
 ## Step 2 — Draft the Stable Changelog
 
-Stable changelog files live at:
+Invoke `release-changelog` and generate:
 
-- `releases/vYYYY.MDD.P.md`
-
-Invoke `release-changelog` and generate or update the stable notes only.
+- `releases/vX.Y.Z.md`
 
 Rules:
 
 - review the draft with a human before publish
 - preserve manual edits if the file already exists
-- keep the filename stable-only
-- do not create a canary changelog file
+- keep the heading and filename stable-only, for example `v1.2.3`
+- do not create a separate canary changelog file

@@ -32,43 +30,12 @@ These almost always get merged quickly when they're clean.
 PRs that follow this path are **much** more likely to be accepted, even when they're large.
 
 ## General Rules (both paths)
-
 - Write clear commit messages
 - Keep PR title + description meaningful
 - One PR = one logical change (unless it's a small related group)
 - Run tests locally first
 - Be kind in discussions 😄
 
-## Writing a Good PR message
-
-Please include a "thinking path" at the top of your PR message that explains from the top of the project down to what you fixed. E.g.:
-
-### Thinking Path Example 1:
-
-> - Paperclip orchestrates ai-agents for zero-human companies
-> - There are many types of adapters for each LLM model provider
-> - But LLM's have a context limit and not all agents can automatically compact their context
-> - So we need to have an adapter-specific configuration for which adapters can and cannot automatically compact their context
-> - This pull request adds per-adapter configuration of compaction, either auto or paperclip managed
-> - That way we can get optimal performance from any adapter/provider in Paperclip
-
-### Thinking Path Example 2:
-
-> - Paperclip orchestrates ai-agents for zero-human companies
-> - But humans want to watch the agents and oversee their work
-> - Human users also operate in teams and so they need their own logins, profiles, views etc.
-> - So we have a multi-user system for humans
-> - But humans want to be able to update their own profile picture and avatar
-> - But the avatar upload form wasn't saving the avatar to the file storage system
-> - So this PR fixes the avatar upload form to use the file storage service
-> - The benefit is we don't have a one-off file storage for just one aspect of the system, which would cause confusion and extra configuration
-
-Then have the rest of your normal PR message after the Thinking Path.
-
-This should include details about what you did, why you did it, why it matters & the benefits, how we can verify it works, and any risks.
-
-Please include screenshots if possible if you have a visible change. (use something like the [agent-browser skill](https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-browser/blob/main/skills/agent-browser/SKILL.md) or similar to take screenshots). Ideally, you include before and after screenshots.

 Questions? Just ask in #dev — we're happy to help.
 
 Happy hacking!

-## What is Paperclip?
-
-# Open-source orchestration for zero-human companies
-
-**If OpenClaw is an _employee_, Paperclip is the _company_**
-
-Paperclip is a Node.js server and React UI that orchestrates a team of AI agents to run a business. Bring your own agents, assign goals, and track your agents' work and costs from one dashboard.
-
-It looks like a task manager — but under the hood it has org charts, budgets, governance, goal alignment, and agent coordination.
-
-**Manage business goals, not pull requests.**
-
-|        | Step            | Example                                                            |
-| ------ | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
-| **01** | Define the goal | _"Build the #1 AI note-taking app to $1M MRR."_                    |
-| **02** | Hire the team   | CEO, CTO, engineers, designers, marketers — any bot, any provider. |
-| **03** | Approve and run | Review strategy. Set budgets. Hit go. Monitor from the dashboard.  |
-
-<br/>
-
-> **COMING SOON: Clipmart** — Download and run entire companies with one click. Browse pre-built company templates — full org structures, agent configs, and skills — and import them into your Paperclip instance in seconds.

-## Problems Paperclip solves
-
-| Without Paperclip                                                                                                                     | With Paperclip                                                                                                                         |
-| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| ❌ You have 20 Claude Code tabs open and can't track which one does what. On reboot you lose everything.                              | ✅ Tasks are ticket-based, conversations are threaded, sessions persist across reboots.                                                |
-| ❌ You manually gather context from several places to remind your bot what you're actually doing.                                     | ✅ Context flows from the task up through the project and company goals — your agent always knows what to do and why.                  |
-| ❌ Folders of agent configs are disorganized and you're re-inventing task management, communication, and coordination between agents. | ✅ Paperclip gives you org charts, ticketing, delegation, and governance out of the box — so you run a company, not a pile of scripts. |
-| ❌ Runaway loops waste hundreds of dollars of tokens and max your quota before you even know what happened.                           | ✅ Cost tracking surfaces token budgets and throttles agents when they're out. Management prioritizes with budgets.                    |
-| ❌ You have recurring jobs (customer support, social, reports) and have to remember to manually kick them off.                        | ✅ Heartbeats handle regular work on a schedule. Management supervises.                                                                |
-| ❌ You have an idea, you have to find your repo, fire up Claude Code, keep a tab open, and babysit it.                                | ✅ Add a task in Paperclip. Your coding agent works on it until it's done. Management reviews their work.                              |
-
-<br/>
-
-## Why Paperclip is special
-
-Paperclip handles the hard orchestration details correctly.
-
-|                                   |                                                                                                               |
-| --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| **Atomic execution.**             | Task checkout and budget enforcement are atomic, so no double-work and no runaway spend.                      |
-| **Persistent agent state.**       | Agents resume the same task context across heartbeats instead of restarting from scratch.                     |
-| **Runtime skill injection.**      | Agents can learn Paperclip workflows and project context at runtime, without retraining.                      |
-| **Governance with rollback.**     | Approval gates are enforced, config changes are revisioned, and bad changes can be rolled back safely.        |
-| **Goal-aware execution.**         | Tasks carry full goal ancestry so agents consistently see the "why," not just a title.                        |
-| **Portable company templates.**   | Export/import orgs, agents, and skills with secret scrubbing and collision handling.                          |
-| **True multi-company isolation.** | Every entity is company-scoped, so one deployment can run many companies with separate data and audit trails. |

-## What Paperclip is not
-
-|                              |                                                                                                                      |
-| ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| **Not a chatbot.**           | Agents have jobs, not chat windows.                                                                                  |
-| **Not an agent framework.**  | We don't tell you how to build agents. We tell you how to run a company made of them.                                |
-| **Not a workflow builder.**  | No drag-and-drop pipelines. Paperclip models companies — with org charts, goals, budgets, and governance.            |
-| **Not a prompt manager.**    | Agents bring their own prompts, models, and runtimes. Paperclip manages the organization they work in.               |
-| **Not a single-agent tool.** | This is for teams. If you have one agent, you probably don't need Paperclip. If you have twenty — you definitely do. |
-| **Not a code review tool.**  | Paperclip orchestrates work, not pull requests. Bring your own review process.                                       |

-
-## Quickstart
-
-Open source. Self-hosted. No Paperclip account required.
-
-```bash
-npx paperclipai onboard --yes
-```
-
-If you already have Paperclip configured, rerunning `onboard` keeps the existing config in place. Use `paperclipai configure` to edit settings.
-
-Or manually:
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip.git
-cd paperclip
-pnpm install
-pnpm dev
-```
-
-This starts the API server at `http://localhost:3100`. An embedded PostgreSQL database is created automatically — no setup required.
-
-> **Requirements:** Node.js 20+, pnpm 9.15+
-
-<br/>
-
-## FAQ
-
-**What does a typical setup look like?**
-Locally, a single Node.js process manages an embedded Postgres and local file storage. For production, point it at your own Postgres and deploy however you like. Configure projects, agents, and goals — the agents take care of the rest.
-
-If you're a solo-entreprenuer you can use Tailscale to access Paperclip on the go. Then later you can deploy to e.g. Vercel when you need it.
-
-**Can I run multiple companies?**
-Yes. A single deployment can run an unlimited number of companies with complete data isolation.
-
-**How is Paperclip different from agents like OpenClaw or Claude Code?**
-Paperclip _uses_ those agents. It orchestrates them into a company — with org charts, budgets, goals, governance, and accountability.
-
-**Why should I use Paperclip instead of just pointing my OpenClaw to Asana or Trello?**
-Agent orchestration has subtleties in how you coordinate who has work checked out, how to maintain sessions, monitoring costs, establishing governance - Paperclip does this for you.
-
-(Bring-your-own-ticket-system is on the Roadmap)
-
-**Do agents run continuously?**
-By default, agents run on scheduled heartbeats and event-based triggers (task assignment, @-mentions). You can also hook in continuous agents like OpenClaw. You bring your agent and Paperclip coordinates.

-## Development
-
-```bash
-pnpm dev              # Full dev (API + UI, watch mode)
-pnpm dev:once         # Full dev without file watching
-pnpm dev:server       # Server only
-pnpm build            # Build all
-pnpm typecheck        # Type checking
-pnpm test:run         # Run tests
-pnpm db:generate      # Generate DB migration
-pnpm db:migrate       # Apply migrations

-# Agent Companies Spec Inventory
-
-This document indexes every part of the Paperclip codebase that touches the [Agent Companies Specification](docs/companies/companies-spec.md) (`agentcompanies/v1-draft`).
-
-Use it when you need to:
-
-1. **Update the spec** — know which implementation code must change in lockstep.
-2. **Change code that involves the spec** — find all related files quickly.
-3. **Keep things aligned** — audit whether implementation matches the spec.
-
----
-
-## 1. Specification & Design Documents
-
-| File | Role |
-|---|---|
-| `docs/companies/companies-spec.md` | **Normative spec** — defines the markdown-first package format (COMPANY.md, TEAM.md, AGENTS.md, PROJECT.md, TASK.md, SKILL.md), reserved files, frontmatter schemas, and vendor extension conventions (`.paperclip.yaml`). |
-| `doc/plans/2026-03-13-company-import-export-v2.md` | Implementation plan for the markdown-first package model cutover — phases, API changes, UI plan, and rollout strategy. |
-| `doc/SPEC-implementation.md` | V1 implementation contract; references the portability system and `.paperclip.yaml` sidecar format. |
-| `docs/specs/cliphub-plan.md` | Earlier blueprint bundle plan; partially superseded by the markdown-first spec (noted in the v2 plan). |
-| `doc/plans/2026-02-16-module-system.md` | Module system plan; JSON-only company template sections superseded by the markdown-first model. |
-| `doc/plans/2026-03-14-skills-ui-product-plan.md` | Skills UI plan; references portable skill files and `.paperclip.yaml`. |
-| `doc/plans/2026-03-14-adapter-skill-sync-rollout.md` | Adapter skill sync rollout; companion to the v2 import/export plan. |
-
-## 2. Shared Types & Validators
-
-These define the contract between server, CLI, and UI.
-
-| File | What it defines |
-|---|---|
-| `packages/shared/src/types/company-portability.ts` | TypeScript interfaces: `CompanyPortabilityManifest`, `CompanyPortabilityFileEntry`, `CompanyPortabilityEnvInput`, export/import/preview request and result types, manifest entry types for agents, skills, projects, issues, recurring routines, companies. |
-| `packages/shared/src/validators/company-portability.ts` | Zod schemas for all portability request/response shapes — used by both server routes and CLI. |
-| `packages/shared/src/types/index.ts` | Re-exports portability types. |
-| `packages/shared/src/validators/index.ts` | Re-exports portability validators. |
-
-## 3. Server — Services
-
-| File | Responsibility |
-|---|---|
-| `server/src/services/company-portability.ts` | **Core portability service.** Export (manifest generation, markdown file emission, `.paperclip.yaml` sidecars), import (graph resolution, collision handling, entity creation), preview (planned-action summary). Handles skill key derivation, recurring task <-> routine mapping, legacy recurrence migration, and package README generation. References `agentcompanies/v1` version string. |
-| `server/src/services/routines.ts` | Paperclip routine runtime service. Portability now exports routines as recurring `TASK.md` entries and imports recurring tasks back through this service. |
-| `server/src/services/company-export-readme.ts` | Generates `README.md` and Mermaid org-chart for exported company packages. |
-| `server/src/services/index.ts` | Re-exports `companyPortabilityService`. |
-
-## 4. Server — Routes
-
-| File | Endpoints |
-|---|---|
-| `server/src/routes/companies.ts` | `POST /api/companies/:companyId/export` — legacy export bundle<br>`POST /api/companies/:companyId/exports/preview` — export preview<br>`POST /api/companies/:companyId/exports` — export package<br>`POST /api/companies/import/preview` — import preview<br>`POST /api/companies/import` — perform import |
-
-Route registration lives in `server/src/app.ts` via `companyRoutes(db, storage)`.
-
-## 5. Server — Tests
-
-| File | Coverage |
-|---|---|
-| `server/src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts` | Unit tests for the portability service (export, import, preview, manifest shape, `agentcompanies/v1` version). |
-| `server/src/__tests__/company-portability-routes.test.ts` | Integration tests for the portability HTTP endpoints. |
-
-## 6. CLI
-
-| File | Commands |
-|---|---|
-| `cli/src/commands/client/company.ts` | `company export` — exports a company package to disk (flags: `--out`, `--include`, `--projects`, `--issues`, `--projectIssues`).<br>`company import <fromPathOrUrl>` — imports a company package from a file or folder (flags: positional source path/URL or GitHub shorthand, `--include`, `--target`, `--companyId`, `--newCompanyName`, `--agents`, `--collision`, `--ref`, `--dryRun`).<br>Reads/writes portable file entries and handles `.paperclip.yaml` filtering. |

-## Package discovery and versioning
+## Publishable CLI layout
 
-Public packages are discovered from:
+During development, [`cli/package.json`](../cli/package.json) contains workspace references.
+
+During release preparation:
+
+- `cli/package.json` becomes a publishable manifest with external npm dependency ranges
+- `cli/package.dev.json` stores the development manifest temporarily
+- `cli/dist/index.js` contains the bundled CLI entrypoint
+- `cli/README.md` is copied in for npm metadata
+
+After release finalization, the release script restores the development manifest and removes the temporary README copy.
+
+## Package discovery
+
+The release tooling scans the workspace for public packages under:
 
 - `packages/`
 - `server/`
-- `ui/`
 - `cli/`
 
-The version rewrite step now uses [`scripts/release-package-map.mjs`](../scripts/release-package-map.mjs), which:
+`ui/` remains ignored for npm publishing because it is private.
 
-- finds all public packages
-- sorts them topologically by internal dependencies
-- rewrites each package version to the target release version
-- rewrites internal `workspace:*` dependency references to the exact target version
-- updates the CLI's displayed version string
+This matters because all public packages are versioned and published together as one release unit.
 
-Those rewrites are temporary. The working tree is restored after publish or dry-run.
+## Canary packaging model
 
-## `@paperclipai/ui` packaging
+Canaries are published as semver prereleases such as:
 
-The UI package publishes prebuilt static assets, not the source workspace.
+- `1.2.3-canary.0`
+- `1.2.3-canary.1`
 
-The `ui` package uses [`scripts/generate-ui-package-json.mjs`](../scripts/generate-ui-package-json.mjs) during `prepack` to swap in a lean publish manifest that:
+They are published under the npm dist-tag `canary`.
 
-- keeps the release-managed `name` and `version`
-- publishes only `dist/`
-- omits the source-only dependency graph from downstream installs
+This means:
 
-After packing or publishing, `postpack` restores the development manifest automatically.
+- `npx paperclipai@canary onboard` can install them explicitly
+- `npx paperclipai onboard` continues to resolve `latest`
+- the stable changelog can stay at `releases/v1.2.3.md`
 
-### Manual first publish for `@paperclipai/ui`
+## Stable packaging model
 
-If you need to publish only the UI package once by hand, use the real package name:
+Stable releases publish normal semver versions such as `1.2.3` under the npm dist-tag `latest`.
 
-- `@paperclipai/ui`
-
-Recommended flow from the repo root:
-
-```bash
-# optional sanity check: this 404s until the first publish exists
-npm view @paperclipai/ui version
-
-# make sure the dist payload is fresh
-pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build
-
-# confirm your local npm auth before the real publish
-npm whoami
-
-# safe preview of the exact publish payload
-cd ui
-pnpm publish --dry-run --no-git-checks --access public
-
-# real publish
-pnpm publish --no-git-checks --access public
-```
-
-Notes:
-
-- Publish from `ui/`, not the repo root.
-- `prepack` automatically rewrites `ui/package.json` to the lean publish manifest, and `postpack` restores the dev manifest after the command finishes.
-- If `npm view @paperclipai/ui version` already returns the same version that is in [`ui/package.json`](../ui/package.json), do not republish. Bump the version or use the normal repo-wide release flow in [`scripts/release.sh`](../scripts/release.sh).
-
-If the first real publish returns npm `E404`, check npm-side prerequisites before retrying:
-
-- `npm whoami` must succeed first. An expired or missing npm login will block the publish.
-- For an organization-scoped package like `@paperclipai/ui`, the `paperclipai` npm organization must exist and the publisher must be a member with permission to publish to that scope.
-- The initial publish must include `--access public` for a public scoped package.
-- npm also requires either account 2FA for publishing or a granular token that is allowed to bypass 2FA.
-
-## Version formats
-
-Paperclip uses calendar versions:
-
-- stable: `YYYY.MDD.P`
-- canary: `YYYY.MDD.P-canary.N`
-
-Examples:
-
-- stable: `2026.318.0`
-- canary: `2026.318.1-canary.2`
-
-## Publish model
-
-### Canary
-
-Canaries publish under the npm dist-tag `canary`.
-
-Example:
-
-- `paperclipai@2026.318.1-canary.2`
-
-This keeps the default install path unchanged while allowing explicit installs with:
-
-```bash
-npx paperclipai@canary onboard
-```
-
-### Stable
-
-Stable publishes use the npm dist-tag `latest`.
-
-Example:
-
-- `paperclipai@2026.318.0`
-
-Stable publishes do not create a release commit. Instead:
-
-- package versions are rewritten temporarily
-- packages are published from the chosen source commit
-- git tag `vYYYY.MDD.P` points at that original commit
-
-## Trusted publishing
-
-The intended CI model is npm trusted publishing through GitHub OIDC.
-
-That means:
-
-- no long-lived `NPM_TOKEN` in repository secrets
-- GitHub Actions obtains short-lived publish credentials
-- trusted publisher rules are configured per workflow file
-
-See [doc/RELEASE-AUTOMATION-SETUP.md](RELEASE-AUTOMATION-SETUP.md) for the GitHub/npm setup steps.
+The stable publish flow also creates the local release commit and git tag on `release/X.Y.Z`. Pushing that branch commit/tag, creating the GitHub Release, and merging the release branch back to `master` happen afterward as separate maintainer steps.
 
 ## Rollback model
 
-Rollback does not unpublish anything.
+Rollback does not unpublish packages.
 
-It repoints the `latest` dist-tag to a prior stable version:
+Instead, the maintainer should move the `latest` dist-tag back to the previous good stable version with:
 
 ```bash
-./scripts/rollback-latest.sh 2026.318.0
+./scripts/rollback-latest.sh <stable-version>
 ```
 
-This is the fastest way to restore the default install path if a stable release is bad.
+That keeps history intact while restoring the default install path quickly.
+
+## Notes for CI
+
+The repo includes a manual GitHub Actions release workflow at [`.github/workflows/release.yml`](../.github/workflows/release.yml).
+
+Recommended CI release setup:
+
+- use npm trusted publishing via GitHub OIDC
+- require approval through the `npm-release` environment
+- run releases from `release/X.Y.Z`
+- use canary first, then stable

-# Release Automation Setup
-
-This document covers the GitHub and npm setup required for the current Paperclip release model:
-
-- automatic canaries from `master`
-- manual stable promotion from a chosen source ref
-- npm trusted publishing via GitHub OIDC
-- protected release infrastructure in a public repository
-
-Repo-side files that depend on this setup:
-
-- `.github/workflows/release.yml`
-- `.github/CODEOWNERS`
-
-Note:
-
-- the release workflows intentionally use `pnpm install --no-frozen-lockfile`
-- this matches the repo's current policy where `pnpm-lock.yaml` is refreshed by GitHub automation after manifest changes land on `master`
-- the publish jobs then restore `pnpm-lock.yaml` before running `scripts/release.sh`, so the release script still sees a clean worktree
-
-## 1. Merge the Repo Changes First
-
-Before touching GitHub or npm settings, merge the release automation code so the referenced workflow filenames already exist on the default branch.
-
-Required files:
-
-- `.github/workflows/release.yml`
-- `.github/CODEOWNERS`
-
-## 2. Configure npm Trusted Publishing
-
-Do this for every public package that Paperclip publishes.
-
-At minimum that includes:
-
-- `paperclipai`
-- `@paperclipai/server`
-- `@paperclipai/ui`
-- public packages under `packages/`
-
-### 2.1. In npm, open each package settings page
-
-For each package:
-
-1. open npm as an owner of the package
-2. go to the package settings / publishing access area
-3. add a trusted publisher for the GitHub repository `paperclipai/paperclip`
-
-### 2.2. Add one trusted publisher entry per package
-
-npm currently allows one trusted publisher configuration per package.
-
-Configure:
-
-- workflow: `.github/workflows/release.yml`
-
-Repository:
-
-- `paperclipai/paperclip`
-
-Environment name:
-
-- leave the npm trusted-publisher environment field blank
-
-Why:
-
-- the single `release.yml` workflow handles both canary and stable publishing
-- GitHub environments `npm-canary` and `npm-stable` still enforce different approval rules on the GitHub side
-
-### 2.3. Verify trusted publishing before removing old auth
-
-After the workflows are live:
-
-1. run a canary publish
-2. confirm npm publish succeeds without any `NPM_TOKEN`
-3. run a stable dry-run
-4. run one real stable publish
-
-Only after that should you remove old token-based access.
-
-## 3. Remove Legacy npm Tokens
-
-After trusted publishing works:
-
-1. revoke any repository or organization `NPM_TOKEN` secrets used for publish
-2. revoke any personal automation token that used to publish Paperclip
-3. if npm offers a package-level setting to restrict publishing to trusted publishers, enable it
-
-Goal:
-
-- no long-lived npm publishing token should remain in GitHub Actions
-
-## 4. Create GitHub Environments
-
-Create two environments in the GitHub repository:
-
-- `npm-canary`
-- `npm-stable`
-
-Path:
-
-1. GitHub repository
-2. `Settings`
-3. `Environments`
-4. `New environment`
-
-## 5. Configure `npm-canary`
-
-Recommended settings for `npm-canary`:
-
-- environment name: `npm-canary`
-- required reviewers: none
-- wait timer: none
-- deployment branches and tags:
-  - selected branches only
-  - allow `master`
-
-Reasoning:
-
-- every push to `master` should be able to publish a canary automatically
-- no human approval should be required for canaries
-
-## 6. Configure `npm-stable`
-
-Recommended settings for `npm-stable`:
-
-- environment name: `npm-stable`
-- required reviewers: at least one maintainer other than the person triggering the workflow when possible
-- prevent self-review: enabled
-- admin bypass: disabled if your team can tolerate it
-- wait timer: optional
-- deployment branches and tags:
-  - selected branches only
-  - allow `master`
-
-Reasoning:
-
-- stable publishes should require an explicit human approval gate
-- the workflow is manual, but the environment should still be the real control point
-
-## 7. Protect `master`
-
-Open the branch protection settings for `master`.
-
-Recommended rules:
-
-1. require pull requests before merging
-2. require status checks to pass before merging
-3. require review from code owners
-4. dismiss stale approvals when new commits are pushed
-5. restrict who can push directly to `master`
-
-At minimum, make sure workflow and release script changes cannot land without review.
-
-## 8. Enforce CODEOWNERS Review
-
-This repo now includes `.github/CODEOWNERS`, but GitHub only enforces it if branch protection requires code owner reviews.
-
-In branch protection for `master`, enable:
-
-- `Require review from Code Owners`
-
-Then verify the owner entries are correct for your actual maintainer set.
-
-Current file:
-
-- `.github/CODEOWNERS`
-
-If `@cryppadotta` is not the right reviewer identity in the public repo, change it before enabling enforcement.
-
-## 9. Protect Release Infrastructure Specifically
-
-These files should always trigger code owner review:
-
-- `.github/workflows/release.yml`
-- `scripts/release.sh`
-- `scripts/release-lib.sh`
-- `scripts/release-package-map.mjs`
-- `scripts/create-github-release.sh`
-- `scripts/rollback-latest.sh`
-- `doc/RELEASING.md`
-- `doc/PUBLISHING.md`
-
-If you want stronger controls, add a repository ruleset that explicitly blocks direct pushes to:
-
-- `.github/workflows/**`
-- `scripts/release*`
-
-## 10. Do Not Store a Claude Token in GitHub Actions
-
-Do not add a personal Claude or Anthropic token for automatic changelog generation.
-
-Recommended policy:
-
-- stable changelog generation happens locally from a trusted maintainer machine
-- canaries never generate changelogs
-
-This keeps LLM spending intentional and avoids a high-value token sitting in Actions.
-
-## 11. Verify the Canary Workflow
-
-After setup:
-
-1. merge a harmless commit to `master`
-2. open the `Release` workflow run triggered by that push
-3. confirm it passes verification
-4. confirm publish succeeds under the `npm-canary` environment
-5. confirm npm now shows a new `canary` release
-6. confirm a git tag named `canary/vYYYY.MDD.P-canary.N` was pushed
-
-Install-path check:
-
-```bash
-npx paperclipai@canary onboard
-```
-
-## 12. Verify the Stable Workflow
-
-After at least one good canary exists:
-
-1. resolve the target stable version with `./scripts/release.sh stable --date YYYY-MM-DD --print-version`
-2. prepare `releases/vYYYY.MDD.P.md` on the source commit you want to promote
-3. open `Actions` -> `Release`
-4. run it with:
-   - `source_ref`: the tested commit SHA or canary tag source commit
-   - `stable_date`: leave blank or set the intended UTC date like `2026-03-18`
-     do not enter a version like `2026.318.0`; the workflow computes that from the date
-   - `dry_run`: `true`
-5. confirm the dry-run succeeds
-6. rerun with `dry_run: false`
-7. approve the `npm-stable` environment when prompted
-8. confirm npm `latest` points to the new stable version
-9. confirm git tag `vYYYY.MDD.P` exists
-10. confirm the GitHub Release was created
-
-Implementation note:
-
-- the GitHub Actions stable workflow calls `create-github-release.sh` with `PUBLISH_REMOTE=origin`
-- local maintainer usage can still pass `PUBLISH_REMOTE=public-gh` explicitly when needed
-
-## 13. Suggested Maintainer Policy
-
-Use this policy going forward:
-
-- canaries are automatic and cheap
-- stables are manual and approved
-- only stables get public notes and announcements
-- release notes are committed before stable publish
-- rollback uses `npm dist-tag`, not unpublish
-
-## 14. Troubleshooting
-
-### Trusted publishing fails with an auth error
-
-Check:
-
-1. the workflow filename on GitHub exactly matches the filename configured in npm
-2. the package has the trusted publisher entry for the correct repository
-3. the job has `id-token: write`
-4. the job is running from the expected repository, not a fork
-
-### Stable workflow runs but never asks for approval
-
-Check:
-
-1. the `publish` job uses environment `npm-stable`
-2. the environment actually has required reviewers configured
-3. the workflow is running in the canonical repository, not a fork
-
-### CODEOWNERS does not trigger
-
-Check:
-
-1. `.github/CODEOWNERS` is on the default branch
-2. branch protection on `master` requires code owner review
-3. the owner identities in the file are valid reviewers with repository access

+Every release has four separate surfaces:
 
 1. **Verification** — the exact git SHA passes typecheck, tests, and build
 2. **npm** — `paperclipai` and public workspace packages are published
 3. **GitHub** — the stable release gets a git tag and GitHub Release
 4. **Website / announcements** — the stable changelog is published externally and announced
 
-A stable release is done only when all four surfaces are handled.
-
-Canaries only cover the first two surfaces plus an internal traceability tag.
+A release is done only when all four surfaces are handled.
 
 ## Core Invariants
 
-- canaries publish from `master`
-- stables publish from an explicitly chosen source ref
-- tags point at the original source commit, not a generated release commit
-- stable notes are always `releases/vYYYY.MDD.P.md`
-- canaries never create GitHub Releases
-- canaries never require changelog generation
+- Canary and stable for `X.Y.Z` must come from the same `release/X.Y.Z` branch.
+- The release scripts must run from the matching `release/X.Y.Z` branch.
+- Once `vX.Y.Z` exists locally, on GitHub, or on npm, that release train is frozen.
+- Do not squash-merge or rebase-merge a release branch PR back to `master`.
+- The stable changelog is always `releases/vX.Y.Z.md`. Never create canary changelog files.
+
+The reason for the merge rule is simple: the tag must keep pointing at the exact published commit. Squash or rebase breaks that property.
 
 ## TL;DR
 
-### Canary
+### 1. Start the release train
 
-Every push to `master` runs the canary path inside [`.github/workflows/release.yml`](../.github/workflows/release.yml).
+Use this to compute the next version, create or resume the branch, create or resume a dedicated worktree, and push the branch to GitHub.
 
-It:
+```bash
+./scripts/release-start.sh patch
+```
 
-- verifies the pushed commit
-- computes the canary version for the current UTC date
-- publishes under npm dist-tag `canary`
-- creates a git tag `canary/vYYYY.MDD.P-canary.N`
+That script:
+
+- fetches the release remote and tags
+- computes the next stable version from the latest `v*` tag
+- creates or resumes `release/X.Y.Z`
+- creates or resumes a dedicated worktree
+- pushes the branch to the remote by default
+- refuses to reuse a frozen release train
+
+### 2. Draft the stable changelog
+
+From the release worktree:
+
+```bash
+VERSION=X.Y.Z
+claude --print --output-format stream-json --verbose --dangerously-skip-permissions --model claude-opus-4-6 "Use the release-changelog skill to draft or update releases/v${VERSION}.md for Paperclip. Read doc/RELEASING.md and .agents/skills/release-changelog/SKILL.md, then generate the stable changelog for v${VERSION} from commits since the last stable tag. Do not create a canary changelog."
+```
+
+### 3. Verify and publish a canary
+
+```bash
+./scripts/release-preflight.sh canary patch
+./scripts/release.sh patch --canary --dry-run
+./scripts/release.sh patch --canary
+PAPERCLIPAI_VERSION=canary ./scripts/docker-onboard-smoke.sh
+```
 
 Users install canaries with:
 
 ```bash
 npx paperclipai@canary onboard
+```
+
+### 4. Publish stable
+
+```bash
+./scripts/release-preflight.sh stable patch
+./scripts/release.sh patch --dry-run
+./scripts/release.sh patch
+git push public-gh HEAD --follow-tags
+./scripts/create-github-release.sh X.Y.Z
+```
+
+Then open a PR from `release/X.Y.Z` to `master` and merge without squash or rebase.
+
+## Release Branches
+
+Paperclip uses one release branch per target stable version:
+
+- `release/0.3.0`
+- `release/0.3.1`
+- `release/1.0.0`
+
+Do not create separate per-canary branches like `canary/0.3.0-1`. A canary is just a prerelease snapshot of the same stable train.
+
+## Script Entry Points
+
+- [`scripts/release-start.sh`](../scripts/release-start.sh) — create or resume the release train branch/worktree
+- [`scripts/release-preflight.sh`](../scripts/release-preflight.sh) — validate branch, version plan, git/npm state, and verification gate
+- [`scripts/release.sh`](../scripts/release.sh) — publish canary or stable from the release branch
+- [`scripts/create-github-release.sh`](../scripts/create-github-release.sh) — create or update the GitHub Release after pushing the tag
+- [`scripts/rollback-latest.sh`](../scripts/rollback-latest.sh) — repoint `latest` to the last good stable version
+
+## Detailed Workflow
+
+### 1. Start or resume the release train
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/release-start.sh <patch|minor|major>
+```
+
+Useful options:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/release-start.sh patch --dry-run
+./scripts/release-start.sh minor --worktree-dir ../paperclip-release-0.4.0
+./scripts/release-start.sh patch --no-push
+```
+
+The script is intentionally idempotent:
+
+- if `release/X.Y.Z` already exists locally, it reuses it
+- if the branch already exists on the remote, it resumes it locally
+- if the branch is already checked out in another worktree, it points you there
+- if `vX.Y.Z` already exists locally, remotely, or on npm, it refuses to reuse that train
+
+### 2. Write the stable changelog early
+
+Create or update:
+
+- `releases/vX.Y.Z.md`
+
+That file is for the eventual stable release. It should not include `-canary` in the filename or heading.
+
+Recommended structure:
+
+- `Breaking Changes` when needed
+- `Highlights`
+- `Improvements`
+- `Fixes`
+- `Upgrade Guide` when needed
+- `Contributors` — @-mention every contributor by GitHub username (no emails)
+
+Package-level `CHANGELOG.md` files are generated as part of the release mechanics. They are not the main release narrative.
+
+### 3. Run release preflight
+
+From the `release/X.Y.Z` worktree:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/release-preflight.sh canary <patch|minor|major>
 # or
-npx paperclipai@canary onboard --data-dir "$(mktemp -d /tmp/paperclip-canary.XXXXXX)"
+./scripts/release-preflight.sh stable <patch|minor|major>
 ```
 
-### Stable
+The preflight script now checks all of the following before it runs the verification gate:
 
-Use [`.github/workflows/release.yml`](../.github/workflows/release.yml) from the Actions tab with the manual `workflow_dispatch` inputs.
+- the worktree is clean, including untracked files
+- the current branch matches the computed `release/X.Y.Z`
+- the release train is not frozen
+- the target version is still free on npm
+- the target tag does not already exist locally or remotely
+- whether the remote release branch already exists
+- whether `releases/vX.Y.Z.md` is present
 
-[Run the action here](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/workflows/release.yml)
-
-Inputs:
-
-- `source_ref`
-  - commit SHA, branch, or tag
-- `stable_date`
-  - optional UTC date override in `YYYY-MM-DD`
-  - enter a date like `2026-03-18`, not a version like `2026.318.0`
-- `dry_run`
-  - preview only when true
-
-Before running stable:
-
-1. pick the canary commit or tag you trust
-2. resolve the target stable version with `./scripts/release.sh stable --date "$(date +%F)" --print-version`
-3. create or update `releases/vYYYY.MDD.P.md` on that source ref
-4. run the stable workflow from that source ref
-
-Example:
-
-- `source_ref`: `master`
-- `stable_date`: `2026-03-18`
-- resulting stable version: `2026.318.0`
-
-The workflow:
-
-- re-verifies the exact source ref
-- computes the next stable patch slot for the chosen UTC date
-- publishes `YYYY.MDD.P` under npm dist-tag `latest`
-- creates git tag `vYYYY.MDD.P`
-- creates or updates the GitHub Release from `releases/vYYYY.MDD.P.md`
-
-## Local Commands
-
-### Preview a canary locally
+Then it runs:
 
 ```bash
-./scripts/release.sh canary --dry-run
+pnpm -r typecheck
+pnpm test:run
+pnpm build
 ```
 
-### Preview a stable locally
+### 4. Publish one or more canaries
+
+Run:
 
 ```bash
-./scripts/release.sh stable --dry-run
+./scripts/release.sh <patch|minor|major> --canary --dry-run
+./scripts/release.sh <patch|minor|major> --canary
 ```
 
-### Publish a stable locally
+Result:
 
-This is mainly for emergency/manual use. The normal path is the GitHub workflow.
+- npm gets a prerelease such as `1.2.3-canary.0` under dist-tag `canary`
+- `latest` is unchanged
+- no git tag is created
+- no GitHub Release is created
+- the worktree returns to clean after the script finishes
 
-```bash
-./scripts/release.sh stable
-git push public-gh refs/tags/vYYYY.MDD.P
-PUBLISH_REMOTE=public-gh ./scripts/create-github-release.sh YYYY.MDD.P
-```
+Guardrails:
 
-## Stable Changelog Workflow
+- the script refuses to run from the wrong branch
+- the script refuses to publish from a frozen train
+- the canary is always derived from the next stable version
+- if the stable notes file is missing, the script warns before you forget it
 
-Stable changelog files live at:
+Concrete example:
 
-- `releases/vYYYY.MDD.P.md`
+- if the latest stable is `0.2.7`, a patch canary targets `0.2.8-canary.0`
+- `0.2.7-canary.N` is invalid because `0.2.7` is already stable
 
-Canaries do not get changelog files.
+### 5. Smoke test the canary
 
-Recommended local generation flow:
-
-```bash
-VERSION="$(./scripts/release.sh stable --date 2026-03-18 --print-version)"
-claude --print --output-format stream-json --verbose --dangerously-skip-permissions --model claude-opus-4-6 "Use the release-changelog skill to draft or update releases/v${VERSION}.md for Paperclip. Read doc/RELEASING.md and .agents/skills/release-changelog/SKILL.md, then generate the stable changelog for v${VERSION} from commits since the last stable tag. Do not create a canary changelog."
-```
-
-The repo intentionally does not run this through GitHub Actions because:
-
-- canaries are too frequent
-- stable notes are the only public narrative surface that needs LLM help
-- maintainer LLM tokens should not live in Actions
-
-## Smoke Testing

+Run the actual install path in Docker:
 
 ```bash

-## Rollback
+If smoke testing fails:
 
-Rollback does not unpublish versions.
+1. stop the stable release
+2. fix the issue on the same `release/X.Y.Z` branch
+3. publish another canary
+4. rerun smoke testing

-./scripts/rollback-latest.sh 2026.318.0
+./scripts/release.sh <patch|minor|major> --dry-run
+./scripts/release.sh <patch|minor|major>
 ```
 
-Then fix forward with a new stable patch slot or release date.
+Stable publish:
+
+- publishes `X.Y.Z` to npm under `latest`
+- creates the local release commit
+- creates the local tag `vX.Y.Z`
+
+Stable publish refuses to proceed if:
+
+- the current branch is not `release/X.Y.Z`
+- the remote release branch does not exist yet
+- the stable notes file is missing
+- the target tag already exists locally or remotely
+- the stable version already exists on npm
+
+Those checks intentionally freeze the train after stable publish.
+
+### 7. Push the stable branch commit and tag
+
+After stable publish succeeds:
+
+```bash
+git push public-gh HEAD --follow-tags
+./scripts/create-github-release.sh X.Y.Z
+```
+
+The GitHub Release notes come from:
+
+- `releases/vX.Y.Z.md`
+
+### 8. Merge the release branch back to `master`
+
+Open a PR:
+
+- base: `master`
+- head: `release/X.Y.Z`
+
+Merge rule:
+
+- allowed: merge commit or fast-forward
+- forbidden: squash merge
+- forbidden: rebase merge
+
+Post-merge verification:
+
+```bash
+git fetch public-gh --tags
+git merge-base --is-ancestor "vX.Y.Z" "public-gh/master"
+```
+
+That command must succeed. If it fails, the published tagged commit is not reachable from `master`, which means the merge strategy was wrong.
+
+### 9. Finish the external surfaces
+
+After GitHub is correct:
+
+- publish the changelog on the website
+- write and send the announcement copy
+- ensure public docs and install guidance point to the stable version
+
+## GitHub Actions Release
+
+There is also a manual workflow at [`.github/workflows/release.yml`](../.github/workflows/release.yml).
+
+Use it from the Actions tab on the relevant `release/X.Y.Z` branch:
+
+1. Choose `Release`
+2. Choose `channel`: `canary` or `stable`
+3. Choose `bump`: `patch`, `minor`, or `major`
+4. Choose whether this is a `dry_run`
+5. Run it from the release branch, not from `master`
+
+The workflow:
+
+- reruns `typecheck`, `test:run`, and `build`
+- gates publish behind the `npm-release` environment
+- can publish canaries without touching `latest`
+- can publish stable, push the stable branch commit and tag, and create the GitHub Release
+
+It does not merge the release branch back to `master` for you.
+

-# Memory Landscape
-
-Date: 2026-03-17
-
-This document summarizes the memory systems referenced in task `PAP-530` and extracts the design patterns that matter for Paperclip.
-
-## What Paperclip Needs From This Survey
-
-Paperclip is not trying to become a single opinionated memory engine. The more useful target is a control-plane memory surface that:
-
-- stays company-scoped
-- lets each company choose a default memory provider
-- lets specific agents override that default
-- keeps provenance back to Paperclip runs, issues, comments, and documents
-- records memory-related cost and latency the same way the rest of the control plane records work
-- works with plugin-provided providers, not only built-ins
-
-The question is not "which memory project wins?" The question is "what is the smallest Paperclip contract that can sit above several very different memory systems without flattening away the useful differences?"
-
-## Quick Grouping
-
-### Hosted memory APIs
-
-- `mem0`
-- `supermemory`
-- `Memori`
-
-These optimize for a simple application integration story: send conversation/content plus an identity, then query for relevant memory or user context later.
-
-### Agent-centric memory frameworks / memory OSes
-
-- `MemOS`
-- `memU`
-- `EverMemOS`
-- `OpenViking`
-
-These treat memory as an agent runtime subsystem, not only as a search index. They usually add task memory, profiles, filesystem-style organization, async ingestion, or skill/resource management.
-
-### Local-first memory stores / indexes
-
-- `nuggets`
-- `memsearch`
-
-These emphasize local persistence, inspectability, and low operational overhead. They are useful because Paperclip is local-first today and needs at least one zero-config path.
-
-## Per-Project Notes
-
-| Project | Shape | Notable API / model | Strong fit for Paperclip | Main mismatch |
-|---|---|---|---|---|
-| [nuggets](https://github.com/NeoVertex1/nuggets) | local memory engine + messaging gateway | topic-scoped HRR memory with `remember`, `recall`, `forget`, fact promotion into `MEMORY.md` | good example of lightweight local memory and automatic promotion | very specific architecture; not a general multi-tenant service |
-| [mem0](https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0) | hosted + OSS SDK | `add`, `search`, `getAll`, `get`, `update`, `delete`, `deleteAll`; entity partitioning via `user_id`, `agent_id`, `run_id`, `app_id` | closest to a clean provider API with identities and metadata filters | provider owns extraction heavily; Paperclip should not assume every backend behaves like mem0 |
-| [MemOS](https://github.com/MemTensor/MemOS) | memory OS / framework | unified add-retrieve-edit-delete, memory cubes, multimodal memory, tool memory, async scheduler, feedback/correction | strong source for optional capabilities beyond plain search | much broader than the minimal contract Paperclip should standardize first |
-| [supermemory](https://github.com/supermemoryai/supermemory) | hosted memory + context API | `add`, `profile`, `search.memories`, `search.documents`, document upload, settings; automatic profile building and forgetting | strong example of "context bundle" rather than raw search results | heavily productized around its own ontology and hosted flow |
-| [memU](https://github.com/NevaMind-AI/memU) | proactive agent memory framework | file-system metaphor, proactive loop, intent prediction, always-on companion model | good source for when memory should trigger agent behavior, not just retrieval | proactive assistant framing is broader than Paperclip's task-centric control plane |
-| [Memori](https://github.com/MemoriLabs/Memori) | hosted memory fabric + SDK wrappers | registers against LLM SDKs, attribution via `entity_id` + `process_id`, sessions, cloud + BYODB | strong example of automatic capture around model clients | wrapper-centric design does not map 1:1 to Paperclip's run / issue / comment lifecycle |
-| [EverMemOS](https://github.com/EverMind-AI/EverMemOS) | conversational long-term memory system | MemCell extraction, structured narratives, user profiles, hybrid retrieval / reranking | useful model for provenance-rich structured memories and evolving profiles | focused on conversational memory rather than generalized control-plane events |
-| [memsearch](https://github.com/zilliztech/memsearch) | markdown-first local memory index | markdown as source of truth, `index`, `search`, `watch`, transcript parsing, plugin hooks | excellent baseline for a local built-in provider and inspectable provenance | intentionally simple; no hosted service semantics or rich correction workflow |
-| [OpenViking](https://github.com/volcengine/OpenViking) | context database | filesystem-style organization of memories/resources/skills, tiered loading, visualized retrieval trajectories | strong source for browse/inspect UX and context provenance | treats "context database" as a larger product surface than Paperclip should own |
-
-## Common Primitives Across The Landscape
-
-Even though the systems disagree on architecture, they converge on a few primitives:
-
-- `ingest`: add memory from text, messages, documents, or transcripts
-- `query`: search or retrieve memory given a task, question, or scope
-- `scope`: partition memory by user, agent, project, process, or session
-- `provenance`: carry enough metadata to explain where a memory came from
-- `maintenance`: update, forget, dedupe, compact, or correct memories over time
-- `context assembly`: turn raw memories into a prompt-ready bundle for the agent
-
-If Paperclip does not expose these, it will not adapt well to the systems above.
-
-## Where The Systems Differ
-
-These differences are exactly why Paperclip needs a layered contract instead of a single hard-coded engine.
-
-### 1. Who owns extraction?
-
-- `mem0`, `supermemory`, and `Memori` expect the provider to infer memories from conversations.
-- `memsearch` expects the host to decide what markdown to write, then indexes it.
-- `MemOS`, `memU`, `EverMemOS`, and `OpenViking` sit somewhere in between and often expose richer memory construction pipelines.
-
-Paperclip should support both:
-
-- provider-managed extraction
-- Paperclip-managed extraction with provider-managed storage / retrieval
-
-### 2. What is the source of truth?
-
-- `memsearch` and `nuggets` make the source inspectable on disk.
-- hosted APIs often make the provider store canonical.
-- filesystem-style systems like `OpenViking` and `memU` treat hierarchy itself as part of the memory model.
-
-Paperclip should not require a single storage shape. It should require normalized references back to Paperclip entities.
-
-### 3. Is memory just search, or also profile and planning state?
-
-- `mem0` and `memsearch` center search and CRUD.
-- `supermemory` adds user profiles as a first-class output.
-- `MemOS`, `memU`, `EverMemOS`, and `OpenViking` expand into tool traces, task memory, resources, and skills.
-
-Paperclip should make plain search the minimum contract and richer outputs optional capabilities.
-
-### 4. Is memory synchronous or asynchronous?
-
-- local tools often work synchronously in-process.
-- larger systems add schedulers, background indexing, compaction, or sync jobs.
-
-Paperclip needs both direct request/response operations and background maintenance hooks.
-
-## Paperclip-Specific Takeaways
-
-### Paperclip should own these concerns
-
-- binding a provider to a company and optionally overriding it per agent
-- mapping Paperclip entities into provider scopes
-- provenance back to issue comments, documents, runs, and activity
-- cost / token / latency reporting for memory work
-- browse and inspect surfaces in the Paperclip UI
-- governance on destructive operations
-
-### Providers should own these concerns
-
-- extraction heuristics
-- embedding / indexing strategy
-- ranking and reranking
-- profile synthesis
-- contradiction resolution and forgetting logic
-- storage engine details
-
-### The control-plane contract should stay small
-
-Paperclip does not need to standardize every feature from every provider. It needs:
-
-- a required portable core
-- optional capability flags for richer providers
-- a way to record provider-native ids and metadata without pretending all providers are equivalent internally
-
-## Recommended Direction
-
-Paperclip should adopt a two-layer memory model:
-
-1. `Memory binding + control plane layer`
-   Paperclip decides which provider key is in effect for a company, agent, or project, and it logs every memory operation with provenance and usage.
-
-2. `Provider adapter layer`
-   A built-in or plugin-supplied adapter turns Paperclip memory requests into provider-specific calls.
-
-The portable core should cover:
-
-- ingest / write
-- search / recall
-- browse / inspect
-- get by provider record handle
-- forget / correction
-- usage reporting
-
-Optional capabilities can cover:
-
-- profile synthesis
-- async ingestion
-- multimodal content
-- tool / resource / skill memory
-- provider-native graph browsing
-
-That is enough to support:
-
-- a local markdown-first baseline similar to `memsearch`
-- hosted services similar to `mem0`, `supermemory`, or `Memori`
-- richer agent-memory systems like `MemOS` or `OpenViking`
-
-without forcing Paperclip itself to become a monolithic memory engine.

 # Paperclip Module System
 
-> Supersession note: the company-template/package-format direction in this document is no longer current. For the current markdown-first company import/export plan, see `doc/plans/2026-03-13-company-import-export-v2.md` and `docs/companies/companies-spec.md`.
-
 ## Overview
 
 Paperclip's module system lets you extend the control plane with new capabilities — revenue tracking, observability, notifications, dashboards — without forking core. Modules are self-contained packages that register routes, UI pages, database tables, and lifecycle hooks.

-# 2026-03-13 Company Import / Export V2 Plan
-
-Status: Proposed implementation plan
-Date: 2026-03-13
-Audience: Product and engineering
-Supersedes for package-format direction:
-- `doc/plans/2026-02-16-module-system.md` sections that describe company templates as JSON-only
-- `docs/specs/cliphub-plan.md` assumptions about blueprint bundle shape where they conflict with the markdown-first package model
-
-## 1. Purpose
-
-This document defines the next-stage plan for Paperclip company import/export.
-
-The core shift is:
-
-- move from a Paperclip-specific JSON-first portability package toward a markdown-first package format
-- make GitHub repositories first-class package sources
-- treat the company package model as an extension of the existing Agent Skills ecosystem instead of inventing a separate skill format
-- support company, team, agent, and skill reuse without requiring a central registry
-
-The normative package format draft lives in:
-
-- `docs/companies/companies-spec.md`
-
-This plan is about implementation and rollout inside Paperclip.
-
-Adapter-wide skill rollout details live in:
-
-- `doc/plans/2026-03-14-adapter-skill-sync-rollout.md`
-
-## 2. Executive Summary
-
-Paperclip already has portability primitives in the repo:
-
-- server import/export/preview APIs
-- CLI import/export commands
-- shared portability types and validators
-
-Those primitives are being cut over to the new package model rather than extended for backward compatibility.
-
-The new direction is:
-
-1. markdown-first package authoring
-2. GitHub repo or local folder as the default source of truth
-3. a vendor-neutral base package spec for agent-company runtimes, not just Paperclip
-4. the company package model is explicitly an extension of Agent Skills
-5. no future dependency on `paperclip.manifest.json`
-6. implicit folder discovery by convention for the common case
-7. an always-emitted `.paperclip.yaml` sidecar for high-fidelity Paperclip-specific details
-8. package graph resolution at import time
-9. entity-level import UI with dependency-aware tree selection
-10. `skills.sh` compatibility is a V1 requirement for skill packages and skill installation flows
-11. adapter-aware skill sync surfaces so Paperclip can read, diff, enable, disable, and reconcile skills where the adapter supports it
-
-## 3. Product Goals
-
-### 3.1 Goals
-
-- A user can point Paperclip at a local folder or GitHub repo and import a company package without any registry.
-- A package is readable and writable by humans with normal git workflows.
-- A package can contain:
-  - company definition
-  - org subtree / team definition
-  - agent definitions
-  - optional starter projects and tasks
-  - reusable skills
-- V1 skill support is compatible with the existing `skills.sh` / Agent Skills ecosystem.
-- A user can import into:
-  - a new company
-  - an existing company
-- Import preview shows:
-  - what will be created
-  - what will be updated
-  - what is skipped
-  - what is referenced externally
-  - what needs secrets or approvals
-- Export preserves attribution, licensing, and pinned upstream references.
-- Export produces a clean vendor-neutral package plus a Paperclip sidecar.
-- `companies.sh` can later act as a discovery/index layer over repos implementing this format.
-
-### 3.2 Non-Goals
-
-- No central registry is required for package validity.
-- This is not full database backup/restore.
-- This does not attempt to export runtime state like:
-  - heartbeat runs
-  - API keys
-  - spend totals
-  - run sessions
-  - transient workspaces
-- This does not require a first-class runtime `teams` table before team portability ships.
-
-## 4. Current State In Repo
-
-Current implementation exists here:
-
-- shared types: `packages/shared/src/types/company-portability.ts`
-- shared validators: `packages/shared/src/validators/company-portability.ts`
-- server routes: `server/src/routes/companies.ts`
-- server service: `server/src/services/company-portability.ts`
-- CLI commands: `cli/src/commands/client/company.ts`
-
-Current product limitations:
-
-1. Import/export UX still needs deeper tree-selection and skill/package management polish.
-2. Adapter-specific skill sync remains uneven across adapters and must degrade cleanly when unsupported.
-3. Projects and starter tasks should stay opt-in on export rather than default package content.
-4. Import/export still needs stronger coverage around attribution, pin verification, and executable-package warnings.
-5. The current markdown frontmatter parser is intentionally lightweight and should stay constrained to the documented shape.
-
-## 5. Canonical Package Direction
-
-### 5.1 Canonical Authoring Format
-
-The canonical authoring format becomes a markdown-first package rooted in one of:
-
-- `COMPANY.md`
-- `TEAM.md`
-- `AGENTS.md`
-- `PROJECT.md`
-- `TASK.md`
-- `SKILL.md`
-
-The normative draft is:
-
-- `docs/companies/companies-spec.md`
-
-### 5.2 Relationship To Agent Skills
-
-Paperclip must not redefine `SKILL.md`.
-
-Rules:
-
-- `SKILL.md` stays Agent Skills compatible
-- the company package model is an extension of Agent Skills
-- the base package is vendor-neutral and intended for any agent-company runtime
-- Paperclip-specific fidelity lives in `.paperclip.yaml`
-- Paperclip may resolve and install `SKILL.md` packages, but it must not require a Paperclip-only skill format
-- `skills.sh` compatibility is a V1 requirement, not a future nice-to-have
-
-### 5.3 Agent-To-Skill Association
-
-`AGENTS.md` should associate skills by skill shortname or slug, not by verbose path in the common case.
-
-Preferred example:
-
-- `skills: [review, react-best-practices]`
-
-Resolution model:
-
-- `review` resolves to `skills/review/SKILL.md` by package convention
-- if the skill is external or referenced, the skill package owns that complexity
-- exporters should prefer shortname-based associations in `AGENTS.md`
-- importers should resolve the shortname against local package skills first, then referenced or installed company skills
-### 5.4 Base Package Vs Paperclip Extension
-
-The repo format should have two layers:
-
-- base package:
-  - minimal, readable, social, vendor-neutral
-  - implicit folder discovery by convention
-  - no Paperclip-only runtime fields by default
-- Paperclip extension:
-  - `.paperclip.yaml`
-  - adapter/runtime/permissions/budget/workspace fidelity
-  - emitted by Paperclip tools as a sidecar while the base package stays readable
-
-### 5.5 Relationship To Current V1 Manifest
-
-`paperclip.manifest.json` is not part of the future package direction.
-
-This should be treated as a hard cutover in product direction.
-
-- markdown-first repo layout is the target
-- no new work should deepen investment in the old manifest model
-- future portability APIs and UI should target the markdown-first model only
-
-## 6. Package Graph Model
-
-### 6.1 Entity Kinds
-
-Paperclip import/export should support these entity kinds:
-
-- company
-- team
-- agent
-- project
-- task
-- skill
-
-### 6.2 Team Semantics
-
-`team` is a package concept first, not a database-table requirement.
-
-In Paperclip V2 portability:
-
-- a team is an importable org subtree
-- it is rooted at a manager agent
-- it can be attached under a target manager in an existing company
-
-This avoids blocking portability on a future runtime `teams` model.
-
-Imported-team tracking should initially be package/provenance-based:
-
-- if a team package was imported, the imported agents should carry enough provenance to reconstruct that grouping
-- Paperclip can treat “this set of agents came from team package X” as the imported-team model
-- provenance grouping is the intended near- and medium-term team model for import/export
-- only add a first-class runtime `teams` table later if product needs move beyond what provenance grouping can express
-
-### 6.3 Dependency Graph
-
-Import should operate on an entity graph, not raw file selection.
-
-Examples:
-
-- selecting an agent auto-selects its required docs and skill refs
-- selecting a team auto-selects its subtree
-- selecting a company auto-selects all included entities by default
-- selecting a project auto-selects its starter tasks
-
-The preview output should reflect graph resolution explicitly.
-
-## 7. External References, Pinning, And Attribution
-
-### 7.1 Why This Matters
-
-Some packages will:
-
-- reference upstream files we do not want to republish
-- include third-party work where attribution must remain visible
-- need protection from branch hot-swapping
-
-### 7.2 Policy
-
-Paperclip should support source references in package metadata with:
-
-- repo
-- path
-- commit sha
-- optional blob sha
-- optional sha256
-- attribution
-- license
-- usage mode
-
-Usage modes:
-
-- `vendored`
-- `referenced`
-- `mirrored`
-
-Default exporter behavior for third-party content should be:
-
-- prefer `referenced`
-- preserve attribution
-- do not silently inline third-party content into exports
-
-### 7.3 Trust Model
-
-Imported package content should be classified by trust level:
-
-- markdown-only
-- markdown + assets
-- markdown + scripts/executables
-
-The UI and CLI should surface this clearly before apply.
-
-## 8. Import Behavior
-
-### 8.1 Supported Sources
-
-- local folder
-- local package root file
-- GitHub repo URL
-- GitHub subtree URL
-- direct URL to markdown/package root
-
-Registry-based discovery may be added later, but must remain optional.
-
-### 8.2 Import Targets
-
-- new company
-- existing company
-
-For existing company imports, the preview must support:
-
-- collision handling
-- attach-point selection for team imports
-- selective entity import
-
-### 8.3 Collision Strategy
-
-Current `rename | skip | replace` support remains, but matching should improve over time.
-
-Preferred matching order:
-
-1. prior install provenance
-2. stable package entity identity
-3. slug
-4. human name as weak fallback
-
-Slug-only matching is acceptable only as a transitional strategy.
-
-### 8.4 Required Preview Output
-
-Every import preview should surface:
-
-- target company action
-- entity-level create/update/skip plan
-- referenced external content
-- missing files
-- hash mismatch or pinning issues
-- env inputs, including required vs optional and default values when present
-- unsupported content types
-- trust/licensing warnings
-
-### 8.5 Adapter Skill Sync Surface
-
-People want skill management in the UI, but skills are adapter-dependent.
-
-That means portability and UI planning must include an adapter capability model for skills.
-
-Paperclip should define a new adapter surface area around skills:
-
-- list currently enabled skills for an agent
-- report how those skills are represented by the adapter
-- install or enable a skill
-- disable or remove a skill
-- report sync state between desired package config and actual adapter state
-
-Examples:
-
-- Claude Code / Codex style adapters may manage skills as local filesystem packages or adapter-owned skill directories
-- OpenClaw-style adapters may expose currently enabled skills through an API or a reflected config surface
-- some adapters may be read-only and only report what they have
-
-Planned adapter capability shape:
-
-- `supportsSkillRead`
-- `supportsSkillWrite`
-- `supportsSkillRemove`
-- `supportsSkillSync`
-- `skillStorageKind` such as `filesystem`, `remote_api`, `inline_config`, or `unknown`
-
-Baseline adapter interface:
-
-- `listSkills(agent)`
-- `applySkills(agent, desiredSkills)`
-- `removeSkill(agent, skillId)` optional
-- `getSkillSyncState(agent, desiredSkills)` optional
-
-Planned Paperclip behavior:
-
-- if an adapter supports read, Paperclip should show current skills in the UI
-- if an adapter supports write, Paperclip should let the user enable/disable imported skills
-- if an adapter supports sync, Paperclip should compute desired vs actual state and offer reconcile actions
-- if an adapter does not support these capabilities, the UI should still show the package-level desired skills but mark them unmanaged
-
-## 9. Export Behavior
-
-### 9.1 Default Export Target
-
-Default export target should become a markdown-first folder structure.
-
-Example:
-
-```text
-my-company/
-├── COMPANY.md
-├── agents/
-├── teams/
-└── skills/
-```
-
-### 9.2 Export Rules
-
-Exports should:
-
-- omit machine-local ids
-- omit timestamps and counters unless explicitly needed
-- omit secret values
-- omit local absolute paths
-- omit duplicated inline prompt content from `.paperclip.yaml` when `AGENTS.md` already carries the instructions
-- preserve references and attribution
-- emit `.paperclip.yaml` alongside the base package
-- express adapter env/secrets as portable env input declarations rather than exported secret binding ids
-- preserve compatible `SKILL.md` content as-is
-
-Projects and issues should not be exported by default.
-
-They should be opt-in through selectors such as:
-
-- `--projects project-shortname-1,project-shortname-2`
-- `--issues PAP-1,PAP-3`
-- `--project-issues project-shortname-1,project-shortname-2`
-
-This supports “clean public company package” workflows where a maintainer exports a follower-facing company package without bundling active work items every time.
-
-### 9.3 Export Units
-
-Initial export units:
-
-- company package
-- team package
-- single agent package
-
-Later optional units:
-
-- skill pack export
-- seed projects/tasks bundle
-
-## 10. Storage Model Inside Paperclip
-
-### 10.1 Short-Term
-
-In the first phase, imported entities can continue mapping onto current runtime tables:
-
-- company -> companies
-- agent -> agents
-- team -> imported agent subtree attachment plus package provenance grouping
-- skill -> company-scoped reusable package metadata plus agent-scoped desired-skill attachment state where supported
-
-### 10.2 Medium-Term
-
-Paperclip should add managed package/provenance records so imports are not anonymous one-off copies.
-
-Needed capabilities:
-
-- remember install origin
-- support re-import / upgrade
-- distinguish local edits from upstream package state
-- preserve external refs and package-level metadata
-- preserve imported team grouping without requiring a runtime `teams` table immediately
-- preserve desired-skill state separately from adapter runtime state
-- support both company-scoped reusable skills and agent-scoped skill attachments
-
-Suggested future tables:
-
-- package_installs
-- package_install_entities
-- package_sources
-- agent_skill_desires
-- adapter_skill_snapshots
-
-This is not required for phase 1 UI, but it is required for a robust long-term system.
-
-## 11. API Plan
-
-### 11.1 Keep Existing Endpoints Initially
-
-Retain:
-
-- `POST /api/companies/:companyId/export`
-- `POST /api/companies/import/preview`
-- `POST /api/companies/import`
-
-But evolve payloads toward the markdown-first graph model.
-
-### 11.2 New API Capabilities
-
-Add support for:
-
-- package root resolution from local/GitHub inputs
-- graph resolution preview
-- source pin and hash verification results
-- entity-level selection
-- team attach target selection
-- provenance-aware collision planning
-
-### 11.3 Parsing Changes
-
-Replace the current ad hoc markdown frontmatter parser with a real parser that can handle:
-
-- nested YAML
-- arrays/objects reliably
-- consistent round-tripping
-
-This is a prerequisite for the new package model.
-
-## 12. CLI Plan
-
-The CLI should continue to support direct import/export without a registry.
-
-Target commands:
-
-- `paperclipai company export <company-id> --out <path>`
-- `paperclipai company import <path-or-url> --dry-run`
-- `paperclipai company import <path-or-url> --target existing -C <company-id>`
-
-Planned additions:
-
-- `--package-kind company|team|agent`
-- `--attach-under <agent-id-or-slug>` for team imports
-- `--strict-pins`
-- `--allow-unpinned`
-- `--materialize-references`
-- `--sync-skills`
-
-## 13. UI Plan
-
-### 13.1 Company Settings Import / Export
-
-Add a real import/export section to Company Settings.
-
-Export UI:
-
-- export package kind selector
-- include options
-- local download/export destination guidance
-- attribution/reference summary
-
-Import UI:
-
-- source entry:
-  - upload/folder where supported
-  - GitHub URL
-  - generic URL
-- preview pane with:
-  - resolved package root
-  - dependency tree
-  - checkboxes by entity
-  - trust/licensing warnings
-  - secrets requirements
-  - collision plan
-
-### 13.2 Team Import UX
-
-If importing a team into an existing company:
-
-- show the subtree structure
-- require the user to choose where to attach it
-- preview manager/reporting updates before apply
-- preserve imported-team provenance so the UI can later say “these agents came from team package X”
-
-### 13.3 Skills UX
-
-See also:
-
-- `doc/plans/2026-03-14-skills-ui-product-plan.md`
-
-If importing skills:
-
-- show whether each skill is local, vendored, or referenced
-- show whether it contains scripts/assets
-- preserve Agent Skills compatibility in presentation and export
-- preserve `skills.sh` compatibility in both import and install flows
-- show agent skill attachments by shortname/slug rather than noisy file paths
-- treat agent skills as a dedicated agent tab, not just another subsection of configuration
-- show current adapter-reported skills when supported
-- show desired package skills separately from actual adapter state
-- offer reconcile actions when the adapter supports sync
-
-## 14. Rollout Phases
-
-### Phase 1: Stabilize Current V1 Portability
-
-- add tests for current portability flows
-- replace the frontmatter parser
-- add Company Settings UI for current import/export capabilities
-- start cutover work toward the markdown-first package reader
-
-### Phase 2: Markdown-First Package Reader
-
-- support `COMPANY.md` / `TEAM.md` / `AGENTS.md` root detection
-- build internal graph from markdown-first packages
-- support local folder and GitHub repo inputs natively
-- support agent skill references by shortname/slug
-- resolve local `skills/<slug>/SKILL.md` packages by convention
-- support `skills.sh`-compatible skill repos as V1 package sources
-
-### Phase 3: Graph-Based Import UX And Skill Surfaces
-
-- entity tree preview
-- checkbox selection
-- team subtree attach flow
-- licensing/trust/reference warnings
-- company skill library groundwork
-- dedicated agent `Skills` tab groundwork
-- adapter skill read/sync UI groundwork
-
-### Phase 4: New Export Model
-
-- export markdown-first folder structure by default
-
-### Phase 5: Provenance And Upgrades
-
-- persist install provenance
-- support package-aware re-import and upgrades
-- improve collision matching beyond slug-only
-- add imported-team provenance grouping
-- add desired-vs-actual skill sync state
-
-### Phase 6: Optional Seed Content
-
-- goals
-- projects
-- starter issues/tasks
-
-This phase is intentionally after the structural model is stable.
-
-## 15. Documentation Plan
-
-Primary docs:
-
-- `docs/companies/companies-spec.md` as the package-format draft
-- this implementation plan for rollout sequencing
-
-Docs to update later as implementation lands:
-
-- `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`
-- `docs/api/companies.md`
-- `docs/cli/control-plane-commands.md`
-- board operator docs for Company Settings import/export
-
-## 16. Open Questions
-
-1. Should imported skill packages be stored as managed package files in Paperclip storage, or only referenced at import time?
-   Decision: managed package files should support both company-scoped reuse and agent-scoped attachment.
-2. What is the minimum adapter skill interface needed to make the UI useful across Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, and future adapters?
-   Decision: use the baseline interface in section 8.5.
-3. Should Paperclip support direct local folder selection in the web UI, or keep that CLI-only initially?
-4. Do we want optional generated lock files in phase 2, or defer them until provenance work?
-5. How strict should pinning be by default for GitHub references:
-   - warn on unpinned
-   - or block in normal mode
-6. Is package-provenance grouping enough for imported teams, or do we expect product requirements soon that would justify a first-class runtime `teams` table?
-   Decision: provenance grouping is enough for the import/export product model for now.
-
-## 17. Recommendation
-
-Engineering should treat this as the current plan of record for company import/export beyond the existing V1 portability feature.
-
-Immediate next steps:
-
-1. accept `docs/companies/companies-spec.md` as the package-format draft
-2. implement phase 1 stabilization work
-3. build phase 2 markdown-first package reader before expanding ClipHub or `companies.sh`
-4. treat the old manifest-based format as deprecated and not part of the future surface
-
-This keeps Paperclip aligned with:
-
-- GitHub-native distribution
-- Agent Skills compatibility
-- a registry-optional ecosystem model

-# 2026-03-14 Adapter Skill Sync Rollout
-
-Status: Proposed
-Date: 2026-03-14
-Audience: Product and engineering
-Related:
-- `doc/plans/2026-03-14-skills-ui-product-plan.md`
-- `doc/plans/2026-03-13-company-import-export-v2.md`
-- `docs/companies/companies-spec.md`
-
-## 1. Purpose
-
-This document defines the rollout plan for adapter-wide skill support in Paperclip.
-
-The goal is not just “show a skills tab.” The goal is:
-
-- every adapter has a deliberate skill-sync truth model
-- the UI tells the truth for that adapter
-- Paperclip stores desired skill state consistently even when the adapter cannot fully reconcile it
-- unsupported adapters degrade clearly and safely
-
-## 2. Current Adapter Matrix
-
-Paperclip currently has these adapters:
-
-- `claude_local`
-- `codex_local`
-- `cursor_local`
-- `gemini_local`
-- `opencode_local`
-- `pi_local`
-- `openclaw_gateway`
-
-The current skill API supports:
-
-- `unsupported`
-- `persistent`
-- `ephemeral`
-
-Current implementation state:
-
-- `codex_local`: implemented, `persistent`
-- `claude_local`: implemented, `ephemeral`
-- `cursor_local`: not yet implemented, but technically suited to `persistent`
-- `gemini_local`: not yet implemented, but technically suited to `persistent`
-- `pi_local`: not yet implemented, but technically suited to `persistent`
-- `opencode_local`: not yet implemented; likely `persistent`, but with special handling because it currently injects into Claude’s shared skills home
-- `openclaw_gateway`: not yet implemented; blocked on gateway protocol support, so `unsupported` for now
-
-## 3. Product Principles
-
-1. Desired skills live in Paperclip for every adapter.
-2. Adapters may expose different truth models, and the UI must reflect that honestly.
-3. Persistent adapters should read and reconcile actual installed state.
-4. Ephemeral adapters should report effective runtime state, not pretend they own a persistent install.
-5. Shared-home adapters need stronger safeguards than isolated-home adapters.
-6. Gateway or cloud adapters must not fake local filesystem sync.
-
-## 4. Adapter Classification
-
-### 4.1 Persistent local-home adapters
-
-These adapters have a stable local skills directory that Paperclip can read and manage.
-
-Candidates:
-
-- `codex_local`
-- `cursor_local`
-- `gemini_local`
-- `pi_local`
-- `opencode_local` with caveats
-
-Expected UX:
-
-- show actual installed skills
-- show managed vs external skills
-- support `sync`
-- support stale removal
-- preserve unknown external skills
-
-### 4.2 Ephemeral mount adapters
-
-These adapters do not have a meaningful Paperclip-owned persistent install state.
-
-Current adapter:
-
-- `claude_local`
-
-Expected UX:
-
-- show desired Paperclip skills
-- show any discoverable external dirs if available
-- say “mounted on next run” instead of “installed”
-- do not imply a persistent adapter-owned install state
-
-### 4.3 Unsupported / remote adapters
-
-These adapters cannot support skill sync without new external capabilities.
-
-Current adapter:
-
-- `openclaw_gateway`
-
-Expected UX:
-
-- company skill library still works
-- agent attachment UI still works at the desired-state level
-- actual adapter state is `unsupported`
-- sync button is disabled or replaced with explanatory text
-
-## 5. Per-Adapter Plan
-
-### 5.1 Codex Local
-
-Target mode:
-
-- `persistent`
-
-Current state:
-
-- already implemented
-
-Requirements to finish:
-
-- keep as reference implementation
-- tighten tests around external custom skills and stale removal
-- ensure imported company skills can be attached and synced without manual path work
-
-Success criteria:
-
-- list installed managed and external skills
-- sync desired skills into `CODEX_HOME/skills`
-- preserve external user-managed skills
-
-### 5.2 Claude Local
-
-Target mode:
-
-- `ephemeral`
-
-Current state:
-
-- already implemented
-
-Requirements to finish:
-
-- polish status language in UI
-- clearly distinguish “desired” from “mounted on next run”
-- optionally surface configured external skill dirs if Claude exposes them
-
-Success criteria:
-
-- desired skills stored in Paperclip
-- selected skills mounted per run
-- no misleading “installed” language
-
-### 5.3 Cursor Local
-
-Target mode:
-
-- `persistent`
-
-Technical basis:
-
-- runtime already injects Paperclip skills into `~/.cursor/skills`
-
-Implementation work:
-
-1. Add `listSkills` for Cursor.
-2. Add `syncSkills` for Cursor.
-3. Reuse the same managed-symlink pattern as Codex.
-4. Distinguish:
-   - managed Paperclip skills
-   - external skills already present
-   - missing desired skills
-   - stale managed skills
-
-Testing:
-
-- unit tests for discovery
-- unit tests for sync and stale removal
-- verify shared auth/session setup is not disturbed
-
-Success criteria:
-
-- Cursor agents show real installed state
-- syncing from the agent Skills tab works
-
-### 5.4 Gemini Local
-
-Target mode:
-
-- `persistent`
-
-Technical basis:
-
-- runtime already injects Paperclip skills into `~/.gemini/skills`
-
-Implementation work:
-
-1. Add `listSkills` for Gemini.
-2. Add `syncSkills` for Gemini.
-3. Reuse managed-symlink conventions from Codex/Cursor.
-4. Verify auth remains untouched while skills are reconciled.
-
-Potential caveat:
-
-- if Gemini treats that skills directory as shared user state, the UI should warn before removing stale managed skills
-
-Success criteria:
-
-- Gemini agents can reconcile desired vs actual skill state
-
-### 5.5 Pi Local
-
-Target mode:
-
-- `persistent`
-
-Technical basis:
-
-- runtime already injects Paperclip skills into `~/.pi/agent/skills`
-
-Implementation work:
-
-1. Add `listSkills` for Pi.
-2. Add `syncSkills` for Pi.
-3. Reuse managed-symlink helpers.
-4. Verify session-file behavior remains independent from skill sync.
-
-Success criteria:
-
-- Pi agents expose actual installed skill state
-- Paperclip can sync desired skills into Pi’s persistent home
-
-### 5.6 OpenCode Local
-
-Target mode:
-
-- `persistent`
-
-Special case:
-
-- OpenCode currently injects Paperclip skills into `~/.claude/skills`
-
-This is product-risky because:
-
-- it shares state with Claude
-- Paperclip may accidentally imply the skills belong only to OpenCode when the home is shared
-
-Plan:
-
-Phase 1:
-
-- implement `listSkills` and `syncSkills`
-- treat it as `persistent`
-- explicitly label the home as shared in UI copy
-- only remove stale managed Paperclip skills that are clearly marked as Paperclip-managed
-
-Phase 2:
-
-- investigate whether OpenCode supports its own isolated skills home
-- if yes, migrate to an adapter-specific home and remove the shared-home caveat
-
-Success criteria:
-
-- OpenCode agents show real state
-- shared-home risk is visible and bounded
-
-### 5.7 OpenClaw Gateway
-
-Target mode:
-
-- `unsupported` until gateway protocol support exists
-
-Required external work:
-
-- gateway API to list installed/available skills
-- gateway API to install/remove or otherwise reconcile skills
-- gateway metadata for whether state is persistent or ephemeral
-
-Until then:
-
-- Paperclip stores desired skills only
-- UI shows unsupported actual state
-- no fake sync implementation
-
-Future target:
-
-- likely a fourth truth model eventually, such as remote-managed persistent state
-- for now, keep the current API and treat gateway as unsupported
-
-## 6. API Plan
-
-## 6.1 Keep the current minimal adapter API
-
-Near-term adapter contract remains:
-
-- `listSkills(ctx)`
-- `syncSkills(ctx, desiredSkills)`
-
-This is enough for all local adapters.
-
-## 6.2 Optional extension points
-
-Add only if needed after the first broad rollout:
-
-- `skillHomeLabel`
-- `sharedHome: boolean`
-- `supportsExternalDiscovery: boolean`
-- `supportsDestructiveSync: boolean`
-
-These should be optional metadata additions to the snapshot, not required new adapter methods.
-
-## 7. UI Plan
-
-The company-level skill library can stay adapter-neutral.
-
-The agent-level Skills tab must become adapter-aware by copy and status:
-
-- `persistent`: installed / missing / stale / external
-- `ephemeral`: mounted on next run / external / desired only
-- `unsupported`: desired only, adapter cannot report actual state
-
-Additional UI requirement for shared-home adapters:
-
-- show a small warning that the adapter uses a shared user skills home
-- avoid destructive wording unless Paperclip can prove a skill is Paperclip-managed
-
-## 8. Rollout Phases
-
-### Phase 1: Finish the local filesystem family
-
-Ship:
-
-- `cursor_local`
-- `gemini_local`
-- `pi_local`
-
-Rationale:
-
-- these are the closest to Codex in architecture
-- they already inject into stable local skill homes
-
-### Phase 2: OpenCode shared-home support
-
-Ship:
-
-- `opencode_local`
-
-Rationale:
-
-- technically feasible now
-- needs slightly more careful product language because of the shared Claude skills home
-
-### Phase 3: Gateway support decision
-
-Decide:
-
-- keep `openclaw_gateway` unsupported for V1
-- or extend the gateway protocol for remote skill management
-
-My recommendation:
-
-- do not block V1 on gateway support
-- keep it explicitly unsupported until the remote protocol exists
-
-## 9. Definition Of Done
-
-Adapter-wide skill support is ready when all are true:
-
-1. Every adapter has an explicit truth model:
-   - `persistent`
-   - `ephemeral`
-   - `unsupported`
-2. The UI copy matches that truth model.
-3. All local persistent adapters implement:
-   - `listSkills`
-   - `syncSkills`
-4. Tests cover:
-   - desired-state storage
-   - actual-state discovery
-   - managed vs external distinctions
-   - stale managed-skill cleanup where supported
-5. `openclaw_gateway` is either:
-   - explicitly unsupported with clean UX
-   - or backed by a real remote skill API
-
-## 10. Recommendation
-
-The recommended immediate order is:
-
-1. `cursor_local`
-2. `gemini_local`
-3. `pi_local`
-4. `opencode_local`
-5. defer `openclaw_gateway`
-
-That gets Paperclip from “skills work for Codex and Claude” to “skills work for the whole local-adapter family,” which is the meaningful V1 milestone.

-# Billing Ledger and Reporting
-
-## Context
-
-Paperclip currently stores model spend in `cost_events` and operational run state in `heartbeat_runs`.
-That split is fine, but the current reporting code tries to infer billing semantics by mixing both tables:
-
-- `cost_events` knows provider, model, tokens, and dollars
-- `heartbeat_runs.usage_json` knows some per-run billing metadata
-- `heartbeat_runs.usage_json` does **not** currently carry enough normalized billing dimensions to support honest provider-level reporting
-
-This becomes incorrect as soon as a company uses more than one provider, more than one billing channel, or more than one billing mode.
-
-Examples:
-
-- direct OpenAI API usage
-- Claude subscription usage with zero marginal dollars
-- subscription overage with dollars and tokens
-- OpenRouter billing where the biller is OpenRouter but the upstream provider is Anthropic or OpenAI
-
-The system needs to support:
-
-- dollar reporting
-- token reporting
-- subscription-included usage
-- subscription overage
-- direct metered API usage
-- future aggregator billing such as OpenRouter
-
-## Product Decision
-
-`cost_events` becomes the canonical billing and usage ledger for reporting.
-
-`heartbeat_runs` remains an operational execution log. It may keep mirrored billing metadata for debugging and transcripts, but reporting must not reconstruct billing semantics from `heartbeat_runs.usage_json`.
-
-## Decision: One Ledger Or Two
-
-We do **not** need two tables to solve the current PR's problem.
-For request-level inference reporting, `cost_events` is enough if it carries the right dimensions:
-
-- upstream provider
-- biller
-- billing type
-- model
-- token fields
-- billed amount
-
-That is why the first implementation pass extends `cost_events` instead of introducing a second table immediately.
-
-However, if Paperclip needs to account for the full billing surface of aggregators and managed AI platforms, then `cost_events` alone is not enough.
-Some charges are not cleanly representable as a single model inference event:
-
-- account top-ups and credit purchases
-- platform fees charged at purchase time
-- BYOK platform fees that are account-level or threshold-based
-- prepaid credit expirations, refunds, and adjustments
-- provisioned throughput commitments
-- fine-tuning, training, model import, and storage charges
-- gateway logging or other platform overhead that is not attributable to one prompt/response pair
-
-So the decision is:
-
-- near term: keep `cost_events` as the inference and usage ledger
-- next phase: add `finance_events` for non-inference financial events
-
-This is a deliberate split between:
-
-- usage and inference accounting
-- account-level and platform-level financial accounting
-
-That separation keeps request reporting honest without forcing us to fake invoice semantics onto rows that were never request-scoped.
-
-## External Motivation And Sources
-
-The need for this model is not theoretical.
-It follows directly from the billing systems of providers and aggregators Paperclip needs to support.
-
-### OpenRouter
-
-Source URLs:
-
-- https://openrouter.ai/docs/faq#credit-and-billing-systems
-- https://openrouter.ai/pricing
-
-Relevant billing behavior as of March 14, 2026:
-
-- OpenRouter passes through underlying inference pricing and deducts request cost from purchased credits.
-- OpenRouter charges a 5.5% fee with a $0.80 minimum when purchasing credits.
-- Crypto payments are charged a 5% fee.
-- BYOK has its own fee model after a free request threshold.
-- OpenRouter billing is aggregated at the OpenRouter account level even when the upstream provider is Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, or another provider.
-
-Implication for Paperclip:
-
-- request usage belongs in `cost_events`
-- credit purchases, purchase fees, BYOK fees, refunds, and expirations belong in `finance_events`
-- `biller=openrouter` must remain distinct from `provider=anthropic|openai|google|...`
-
-### Cloudflare AI Gateway Unified Billing
-
-Source URL:
-
-- https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai-gateway/features/unified-billing/
-
-Relevant billing behavior as of March 14, 2026:
-
-- Unified Billing lets users call multiple upstream providers while receiving a single Cloudflare bill.
-- Usage is paid from Cloudflare-loaded credits.
-- Cloudflare supports manual top-ups and auto top-up thresholds.
-- Spend limits can stop request processing on daily, weekly, or monthly boundaries.
-- Unified Billing traffic can use Cloudflare-managed credentials rather than the user's direct provider key.
-
-Implication for Paperclip:
-
-- request usage needs `biller=cloudflare`
-- upstream provider still needs to be preserved separately
-- Cloudflare credit loads and related account-level events are not inference rows and should not be forced into `cost_events`
-- quota and limits reporting must support biller-level controls, not just upstream provider limits
-
-### Amazon Bedrock
-
-Source URL:
-
-- https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/pricing/
-
-Relevant billing behavior as of March 14, 2026:
-
-- Bedrock supports on-demand and batch pricing.
-- Bedrock pricing varies by region.
-- some pricing tiers add premiums or discounts relative to standard pricing
-- provisioned throughput is commitment-based rather than request-based
-- custom model import uses Custom Model Units billed per minute, with monthly storage charges
-- imported model copies are billed in 5-minute windows once active
-- customization and fine-tuning introduce training and hosted-model charges beyond normal inference
-
-Implication for Paperclip:
-
-- normal tokenized inference fits in `cost_events`
-- provisioned throughput, custom model unit charges, training, and storage charges require `finance_events`
-- region and pricing tier need to be first-class dimensions in the financial model
-
-## Ledger Boundary
-
-To keep the system coherent, the table boundary should be explicit.
-
-### `cost_events`
-
-Use `cost_events` for request-scoped usage and inference charges:
-
-- one row per billable or usage-bearing run event
-- provider/model/biller/billingType/tokens/cost
-- optionally tied to `heartbeat_run_id`
-- supports direct APIs, subscriptions, overage, OpenRouter-routed inference, Cloudflare-routed inference, and Bedrock on-demand inference
-
-### `finance_events`
-
-Use `finance_events` for account-scoped or platform-scoped financial events:
-
-- credit purchase
-- top-up
-- refund
-- fee
-- expiry
-- provisioned capacity
-- training
-- model import
-- storage
-- invoice adjustment
-
-These rows may or may not have a related model, provider, or run id.
-Trying to force them into `cost_events` would either create fake request rows or create null-heavy rows that mean something fundamentally different from inference usage.
-
-## Canonical Billing Dimensions
-
-Every persisted billing event should model four separate axes:
-
-1. Usage provider
-   The upstream provider whose model performed the work.
-   Examples: `openai`, `anthropic`, `google`.
-
-2. Biller
-   The system that charged for the usage.
-   Examples: `openai`, `anthropic`, `openrouter`, `cursor`, `chatgpt`.
-
-3. Billing type
-   The pricing mode applied to the event.
-   Initial canonical values:
-   - `metered_api`
-   - `subscription_included`
-   - `subscription_overage`
-   - `credits`
-   - `fixed`
-   - `unknown`
-
-4. Measures
-   Usage and billing must both be storable:
-   - `input_tokens`
-   - `output_tokens`
-   - `cached_input_tokens`
-   - `cost_cents`
-
-These dimensions are independent.
-For example, an event may be:
-
-- provider: `anthropic`
-- biller: `openrouter`
-- billing type: `metered_api`
-- tokens: non-zero
-- cost cents: non-zero
-
-Or:
-
-- provider: `anthropic`
-- biller: `anthropic`
-- billing type: `subscription_included`
-- tokens: non-zero
-- cost cents: `0`
-
-## Schema Changes
-
-Extend `cost_events` with:
-
-- `heartbeat_run_id uuid null references heartbeat_runs.id`
-- `biller text not null default 'unknown'`
-- `billing_type text not null default 'unknown'`
-- `cached_input_tokens int not null default 0`
-
-Keep `provider` as the upstream usage provider.
-Do not overload `provider` to mean biller.
-
-Add a future `finance_events` table for account-level financial events with fields along these lines:
-
-- `company_id`
-- `occurred_at`
-- `event_kind`
-- `direction`
-- `biller`
-- `provider nullable`
-- `execution_adapter_type nullable`
-- `pricing_tier nullable`
-- `region nullable`
-- `model nullable`
-- `quantity nullable`
-- `unit nullable`
-- `amount_cents`
-- `currency`
-- `estimated`
-- `related_cost_event_id nullable`
-- `related_heartbeat_run_id nullable`
-- `external_invoice_id nullable`
-- `metadata_json nullable`
-
-Add indexes:
-
-- `(company_id, biller, occurred_at)`
-- `(company_id, provider, occurred_at)`
-- `(company_id, heartbeat_run_id)` if distinct-run reporting remains common
-
-## Shared Contract Changes
-
-### Shared types
-
-Add a shared billing type union and enrich cost types with:
-
-- `heartbeatRunId`
-- `biller`
-- `billingType`
-- `cachedInputTokens`
-
-Update reporting response types so the provider breakdown reflects the ledger directly rather than inferred run metadata.
-
-### Validators
-
-Extend `createCostEventSchema` to accept:
-
-- `heartbeatRunId`
-- `biller`
-- `billingType`
-- `cachedInputTokens`
-
-Defaults:
-
-- `biller` defaults to `provider`
-- `billingType` defaults to `unknown`
-- `cachedInputTokens` defaults to `0`
-
-## Adapter Contract Changes
-
-Extend adapter execution results so they can report:
-
-- `biller`
-- richer billing type values
-
-Backwards compatibility:
-
-- existing adapter values `api` and `subscription` are treated as legacy aliases
-- map `api -> metered_api`
-- map `subscription -> subscription_included`
-
-Future adapters may emit the canonical values directly.
-
-OpenRouter support will use:
-
-- `provider` = upstream provider when known
-- `biller` = `openrouter`
-- `billingType` = `metered_api` unless OpenRouter later exposes another billing mode
-
-Cloudflare Unified Billing support will use:
-
-- `provider` = upstream provider when known
-- `biller` = `cloudflare`
-- `billingType` = `credits` or `metered_api` depending on the normalized request billing contract
-
-Bedrock support will use:
-
-- `provider` = upstream provider or `aws_bedrock` depending on adapter shape
-- `biller` = `aws_bedrock`
-- `billingType` = request-scoped mode for inference rows
-- `finance_events` for provisioned, training, import, and storage charges
-
-## Write Path Changes
-
-### Heartbeat-created events
-
-When a heartbeat run produces usage or spend:
-
-1. normalize adapter billing metadata
-2. write a ledger row to `cost_events`
-3. attach `heartbeat_run_id`
-4. set `provider`, `biller`, `billing_type`, token fields, and `cost_cents`
-
-The write path should no longer depend on later inference from `heartbeat_runs`.
-
-### Manual API-created events
-
-Manual cost event creation remains supported.
-These events may have `heartbeatRunId = null`.
-
-Rules:
-
-- `provider` remains required
-- `biller` defaults to `provider`
-- `billingType` defaults to `unknown`
-
-## Reporting Changes
-
-### Server
-
-Refactor reporting queries to use `cost_events` only.
-
-#### `summary`
-
-- sum `cost_cents`
-
-#### `by-agent`
-
-- sum costs and token fields from `cost_events`
-- use `count(distinct heartbeat_run_id)` filtered by billing type for run counts
-- use token sums filtered by billing type for subscription usage
-
-#### `by-provider`
-
-- group by `provider`, `model`
-- sum costs and token fields directly from the ledger
-- derive billing-type slices from `cost_events.billing_type`
-- never pro-rate from unrelated `heartbeat_runs`
-
-#### future `by-biller`
-
-- group by `biller`
-- this is the right view for invoice and subscription accountability
-
-#### `window-spend`
-
-- continue to use `cost_events`
-
-#### project attribution
-
-Keep current project attribution logic for now, but prefer `cost_events.heartbeat_run_id` as the join anchor whenever possible.
-
-## UI Changes
-
-### Principles
-
-- Spend, usage, and quota are related but distinct
-- a missing quota fetch is not the same as “no quota”
-- provider and biller are different dimensions
-
-### Immediate UI changes
-
-1. Keep the current costs page structure.
-2. Make the provider cards accurate by reading only ledger-backed values.
-3. Show provider quota fetch errors explicitly instead of dropping them.
-
-### Follow-up UI direction
-
-The long-term board UI should expose:
-
-- Spend
-  Dollars by biller, provider, model, agent, project
-- Usage
-  Tokens by provider, model, agent, project
-- Quotas
-  Live provider or biller limits, credits, and reset windows
-- Financial events
-  Credit purchases, top-ups, fees, refunds, commitments, storage, and other non-inference charges
-
-## Migration Plan

-- add new non-destructive columns with defaults
-- backfill existing rows:
-  - `biller = provider`
-  - `billing_type = 'unknown'`
-  - `cached_input_tokens = 0`
-  - `heartbeat_run_id = null`
-
-Do **not** attempt to backfill historical provider-level subscription attribution from `heartbeat_runs`.
-That data was never stored with the required dimensions.
-
-## Testing Plan
-
-Add or update tests for:
-
-1. heartbeat-created ledger rows persist `heartbeatRunId`, `biller`, `billingType`, and cached tokens
-2. legacy adapter billing values map correctly
-3. provider reporting uses ledger data only
-4. mixed-provider companies do not cross-attribute subscription usage
-5. zero-dollar subscription usage still appears in token reporting
-6. quota fetch failures render explicit UI state
-7. manual cost events still validate and write correctly
-8. biller reporting keeps upstream provider breakdowns separate
-9. OpenRouter-style rows can show `biller=openrouter` with non-OpenRouter upstream providers
-10. Cloudflare-style rows can show `biller=cloudflare` with preserved upstream provider identity
-11. future `finance_events` aggregation handles non-request charges without requiring a model or run id
-
-## Delivery Plan
-
-### Step 1
-
-- land the ledger contract and query rewrite
-- make the current costs page correct
-
-### Step 2
-
-- add biller-oriented reporting endpoints and UI
-
-### Step 3
-
-- wire OpenRouter and any future aggregator adapters to the same contract
-
-### Step 4
-
-- add `executionAdapterType` to persisted cost reporting if adapter-level grouping becomes a product requirement
-
-### Step 5
-
-- introduce `finance_events`
-- add non-inference accounting endpoints
-- add UI for platform/account charges alongside inference spend and usage
-
-## Non-Goals For This Change
-
-- multi-currency support
-- invoice reconciliation
-- provider-specific cost estimation beyond persisted billed cost
-- replacing `heartbeat_runs` as the operational run record

-# Budget Policies and Enforcement
-
-## Context
-
-Paperclip already treats budgets as a core control-plane responsibility:
-
-- `doc/SPEC.md` gives the Board authority to set budgets, pause agents, pause work, and override any budget.
-- `doc/SPEC-implementation.md` says V1 must support monthly UTC budget windows, soft alerts, and hard auto-pause.
-- the current code only partially implements that intent.
-
-Today the system has narrow money-budget behavior:
-
-- companies track `budgetMonthlyCents` and `spentMonthlyCents`
-- agents track `budgetMonthlyCents` and `spentMonthlyCents`
-- `cost_events` ingestion increments those counters
-- when an agent exceeds its monthly budget, the agent is paused
-
-That leaves major product gaps:
-
-- no project budget model
-- no approval generated when budget is hit
-- no generic budget policy system
-- no project pause semantics tied to budget
-- no durable incident tracking to prevent duplicate alerts
-- no separation between enforceable spend budgets and advisory usage quotas
-
-This plan defines the concrete budgeting model Paperclip should implement next.
-
-## Product Goals
-
-Paperclip should let operators:
-
-1. Set budgets on agents and projects.
-2. Understand whether a budget is based on money or usage.
-3. Be warned before a budget is exhausted.
-4. Automatically pause work when a hard budget is hit.
-5. Approve, raise, or resume from a budget stop using obvious UI.
-6. See budget state on the dashboard, `/costs`, and scope detail pages.
-
-The system should make one thing very clear:
-
-- budgets are policy controls
-- quotas are usage visibility
-
-They are related, but they are not the same concept.
-
-## Product Decisions
-
-### V1 Budget Defaults
-
-For the next implementation pass, Paperclip should enforce these defaults:
-
-- agent budgets are recurring monthly budgets
-- project budgets are lifetime total budgets
-- hard-stop enforcement uses billed dollars, not tokens
-- monthly windows use UTC calendar months
-- project total budgets do not reset automatically
-
-This gives a clean mental model:
-
-- agents are ongoing workers, so monthly recurring budget is natural
-- projects are bounded workstreams, so lifetime cap is natural
-
-### Metric To Enforce First
-
-The first enforceable metric should be `billed_cents`.
-
-Reasoning:
-
-- it works across providers, billers, and models
-- it maps directly to real financial risk
-- it handles overage and metered usage consistently
-- it avoids cross-provider token normalization problems
-- it applies cleanly even when future finance events are not token-based
-
-Token budgets should not be the first hard-stop policy.
-They should come later as advisory usage controls once the money-based system is solid.
-
-### Subscription Usage Decision
-
-Paperclip should separate subscription-included usage from billed spend:
-
-- `subscription_included`
-  - visible in reporting
-  - visible in usage summaries
-  - does not count against money budget
-- `subscription_overage`
-  - visible in reporting
-  - counts against money budget
-- `metered_api`
-  - visible in reporting
-  - counts against money budget
-
-This keeps the budget system honest:
-
-- users should not see "spend" rise for usage that did not incur marginal billed cost
-- users should still see the token usage and provider quota state
-
-### Soft Alert Versus Hard Stop
-
-Paperclip should have two threshold classes:
-
-- soft alert
-  - creates visible notification state
-  - does not create an approval
-  - does not pause work
-- hard stop
-  - pauses the affected scope automatically
-  - creates an approval requiring human resolution
-  - prevents additional heartbeats or task pickup in that scope
-
-Default thresholds:
-
-- soft alert at `80%`
-- hard stop at `100%`
-
-These should be configurable per policy later, but they are good defaults now.
-
-## Scope Model
-
-### Supported Scope Types
-
-Budget policies should support:
-
-- `company`
-- `agent`
-- `project`
-
-This plan focuses on finishing `agent` and `project` first while preserving the existing company budget behavior.
-
-### Recommended V1.5 Policy Presets
-
-- Company
-  - metric: `billed_cents`
-  - window: `calendar_month_utc`
-- Agent
-  - metric: `billed_cents`
-  - window: `calendar_month_utc`
-- Project
-  - metric: `billed_cents`
-  - window: `lifetime`
-
-Future extensions can add:
-
-- token advisory policies
-- daily or weekly spend windows
-- provider- or biller-scoped budgets
-- inherited delegated budgets down the org tree
-
-## Current Implementation Baseline
-
-The current codebase is not starting from zero, but the existing shape is too ad hoc to extend safely.
-
-### What Exists Today
-
-- company and agent monthly cents counters
-- cost ingestion that updates those counters
-- agent hard-stop pause on monthly budget overrun
-
-### What Is Missing
-
-- project budgets
-- generic budget policy persistence
-- generic threshold crossing detection
-- incident deduplication per scope/window
-- approval creation on hard-stop
-- project execution blocking
-- budget timeline and incident UI
-- distinction between advisory quota and enforceable budget
-
-## Proposed Data Model
-
-### 1. `budget_policies`
-
-Create a new table for canonical budget definitions.
-
-Suggested fields:
-
-- `id`
-- `company_id`
-- `scope_type`
-- `scope_id`
-- `metric`
-- `window_kind`
-- `amount`
-- `warn_percent`
-- `hard_stop_enabled`
-- `notify_enabled`
-- `is_active`
-- `created_by_user_id`
-- `updated_by_user_id`
-- `created_at`
-- `updated_at`
-
-Notes:
-
-- `scope_type` is one of `company | agent | project`
-- `scope_id` is nullable only for company-level policy if company is implied; otherwise keep it explicit
-- `metric` should start with `billed_cents`
-- `window_kind` starts with `calendar_month_utc | lifetime`
-- `amount` is stored in the natural unit of the metric
-
-### 2. `budget_incidents`
-
-Create a durable record of threshold crossings.
-
-Suggested fields:
-
-- `id`
-- `company_id`
-- `policy_id`
-- `scope_type`
-- `scope_id`
-- `metric`
-- `window_kind`
-- `window_start`
-- `window_end`
-- `threshold_type`
-- `amount_limit`
-- `amount_observed`
-- `status`
-- `approval_id` nullable
-- `activity_id` nullable
-- `resolved_at` nullable
-- `created_at`
-- `updated_at`
-
-Notes:
-
-- `threshold_type`: `soft | hard`
-- `status`: `open | acknowledged | resolved | dismissed`
-- one open incident per policy per threshold per window prevents duplicate approvals and alert spam
-
-### 3. Project Pause State
-
-Projects need explicit pause semantics.
-
-Recommended approach:
-
-- extend project status or add a pause field so a project can be blocked by budget
-- preserve whether the project is paused due to budget versus manually paused
-
-Preferred shape:
-
-- keep project workflow status as-is
-- add execution-state fields:
-  - `execution_status`: `active | paused | archived`
-  - `pause_reason`: `manual | budget | system | null`
-
-If that is too large for the immediate pass, a smaller version is:
-
-- add `paused_at`
-- add `pause_reason`
-
-The key requirement is behavioral, not cosmetic:
-Paperclip must know that a project is budget-paused and enforce it.
-
-### 4. Compatibility With Existing Budget Columns
-
-Existing company and agent monthly budget columns should remain temporarily for compatibility.
-
-Migration plan:
-
-1. keep reading existing columns during transition
-2. create equivalent `budget_policies` rows
-3. switch enforcement and UI to policies
-4. later remove or deprecate legacy columns
-
-## Budget Engine
-
-Budget enforcement should move into a dedicated service.
-
-Current logic is buried inside cost ingestion.
-That is too narrow because budget checks must apply at more than one execution boundary.
-
-### Responsibilities
-
-New service: `budgetService`
-
-Responsibilities:
-
-- resolve applicable policies for a cost event
-- compute current window totals
-- detect threshold crossings
-- create incidents, activities, and approvals
-- pause affected scopes on hard-stop
-- provide preflight enforcement checks for execution entry points
-
-### Canonical Evaluation Flow
-
-When a new `cost_event` is written:
-
-1. persist the `cost_event`
-2. identify affected scopes
-   - company
-   - agent
-   - project
-3. fetch active policies for those scopes
-4. compute current observed amount for each policy window
-5. compare to thresholds
-6. create soft incident if soft threshold crossed for first time in window
-7. create hard incident if hard threshold crossed for first time in window
-8. if hard incident:
-   - pause the scope
-   - create approval
-   - create activity event
-   - emit notification state
-
-### Preflight Enforcement Checks
-
-Budget enforcement cannot rely only on post-hoc cost ingestion.
-
-Paperclip must also block execution before new work starts.
-
-Add budget checks to:
-
-- scheduler heartbeat dispatch
-- manual invoke endpoints
-- assignment-driven wakeups
-- queued run promotion
-- issue checkout or pickup paths where applicable
-
-If a scope is budget-paused:
-
-- do not start a new heartbeat
-- do not let the agent pick up additional work
-- present a clear reason in API and UI
-
-### Active Run Behavior
-
-When a hard-stop is triggered while a run is already active:
-
-- mark scope paused immediately for future work
-- request graceful cancellation of the current run
-- allow normal cancellation timeout behavior
-- write activity explaining that pause came from budget enforcement
-
-This mirrors the general pause semantics already expected by the product.
-
-## Approval Model
-
-Budget hard-stops should create a first-class approval.
-
-### New Approval Type
-
-Add approval type:
-
-- `budget_override_required`
-
-Payload should include:
-
-- `scopeType`
-- `scopeId`
-- `scopeName`
-- `metric`
-- `windowKind`
-- `thresholdType`
-- `budgetAmount`
-- `observedAmount`
-- `windowStart`
-- `windowEnd`
-- `topDrivers`
-- `paused`
-
-### Resolution Actions
-
-The approval UI should support:
-
-- raise budget and resume
-- resume once without changing policy
-- keep paused
-
-Optional later action:
-
-- disable budget policy
-
-### Soft Alerts Do Not Need Approval
-
-Soft alerts should create:
-
-- activity event
-- dashboard alert
-- inbox notification or similar board-visible signal
-
-They should not create an approval by default.
-
-## Notification And Activity Model
-
-Budget events need obvious operator visibility.
-
-Required outputs:
-
-- activity log entry on threshold crossings
-- dashboard surface for active budget incidents
-- detail page banner on paused agent or project
-- `/costs` summary of active incidents and policy health
-
-Later channels:
-
-- email
-- webhook
-- Slack or other integrations
-
-## API Plan
-
-### Policy Management
-
-Add routes for:
-
-- list budget policies for company
-- create budget policy
-- update budget policy
-- archive or disable budget policy
-
-### Incident Surfaces
-
-Add routes for:
-
-- list active budget incidents
-- list incident history
-- get incident detail for a scope
-
-### Approval Resolution
-
-Budget approvals should use the existing approval system once the new approval type is added.
-
-Expected flows:
-
-- create approval on hard-stop
-- resolve approval by changing policy and resuming
-- resolve approval by resuming once
-
-### Execution Errors
-
-When work is blocked by budget, the API should return explicit errors.
-
-Examples:
-
-- agent invocation blocked because agent budget is paused
-- issue execution blocked because project budget is paused
-
-Do not silently no-op.
-
-## UI Plan
-
-Budgeting should be visible in the places where operators make decisions.
-
-### `/costs`
-
-Add a budget section that includes:
-
-- active budget incidents
-- policy list with scope, window, metric, and threshold state
-- progress bars for current period or total
-- clear distinction between:
-  - spend budget
-  - subscription quota
-- quick actions:
-  - raise budget
-  - open approval
-  - resume scope if permitted
-
-The page should make this visual distinction obvious:
-
-- Budget
-  - enforceable spend policy
-- Quota
-  - provider or subscription usage window
-
-### Agent Detail
-
-Add an agent budget card:
-
-- monthly budget amount
-- current month spend
-- remaining spend
-- status
-- warning or paused banner
-- link to approval if blocked
-
-### Project Detail
-
-Add a project budget card:
-
-- total budget amount
-- total spend to date
-- remaining spend
-- pause status
-- approval link
-
-Project detail should also show if issue execution is blocked because the project is budget-paused.
-
-### Dashboard
-
-Add a high-signal budget section:
-
-- active budget breaches
-- upcoming soft alerts
-- counts of paused agents and paused projects due to budget
-
-The operator should not have to visit `/costs` to learn that work has stopped.
-
-## Budget Math
-
-### What Counts Toward Budget
-
-For V1.5 enforcement, include:
-
-- `metered_api` cost events
-- `subscription_overage` cost events
-- any future request-scoped cost event with non-zero billed cents
-
-Do not include:
-
-- `subscription_included` cost events with zero billed cents
-- advisory quota rows
-- account-level finance events unless and until company-level financial budgets are added explicitly
-
-### Why Not Tokens First
-
-Token budgets should not be the first hard-stop because:
-
-- providers count tokens differently
-- cached tokens complicate simple totals
-- some future charges are not token-based
-- subscription tokens do not necessarily imply spend
-- money remains the cleanest cross-provider enforcement metric
-
-### Future Budget Metrics
-
-Future policy metrics can include:
-
-- `total_tokens`
-- `input_tokens`
-- `output_tokens`
-- `requests`
-- `finance_amount_cents`
-
-But they should enter only after the money-budget path is stable.
-
-## Migration Plan
-
-### Phase 1: Foundation
-
-- add `budget_policies`
-- add `budget_incidents`
-- add new approval type
-- add project pause metadata
-
-### Phase 2: Compatibility
-
-- backfill policies from existing company and agent monthly budget columns
-- keep legacy columns readable during migration
-
-### Phase 3: Enforcement
-
-- move budget logic into dedicated service
-- add hard-stop incident creation
-- add activity and approval creation
-- add execution guards on heartbeat and invoke paths
-
-### Phase 4: UI
-
-- `/costs` budget section
-- agent detail budget card
-- project detail budget card
-- dashboard incident summary
-
-### Phase 5: Cleanup
-
-- move all reads/writes to `budget_policies`
-- reduce legacy column reliance
-- decide whether to remove old budget columns
-
-## Tests
-
-Required coverage:
-
-- agent monthly budget soft alert at 80%
-- agent monthly budget hard-stop at 100%
-- project lifetime budget soft alert
-- project lifetime budget hard-stop
-- `subscription_included` usage does not consume money budget
-- `subscription_overage` does consume money budget
-- hard-stop creates one incident per threshold per window
-- hard-stop creates approval and pauses correct scope
-- paused project blocks new issue execution
-- paused agent blocks new heartbeat dispatch
-- policy update and resume clears or resolves active incident correctly
-- dashboard and `/costs` surface active incidents
-
-## Open Questions
-
-These should be explicitly deferred unless they block implementation:
-
-- Should project budgets also support monthly mode, or is lifetime enough for the first release?
-- Should company-level budgets eventually include `finance_events` such as OpenRouter top-up fees and Bedrock provisioned charges?
-- Should delegated budget editing be limited by org hierarchy in V1, or remain board-only in the UI even if the data model can support delegation later?
-- Do we need "resume once" immediately, or can first approval resolution be "raise budget and resume" plus "keep paused"?
-
-## Recommendation
-
-Implement the first coherent budgeting system with these rules:
-
-- Agent budget = monthly billed dollars
-- Project budget = lifetime billed dollars
-- Hard-stop = auto-pause + approval
-- Soft alert = visible warning, no approval
-- Subscription usage = visible quota and token reporting, not money-budget enforcement
-
-This solves the real operator problem without mixing together spend control, provider quota windows, and token accounting.

-# 2026-03-14 Skills UI Product Plan
-
-Status: Proposed
-Date: 2026-03-14
-Audience: Product and engineering
-Related:
-- `doc/plans/2026-03-13-company-import-export-v2.md`
-- `doc/plans/2026-03-14-adapter-skill-sync-rollout.md`
-- `docs/companies/companies-spec.md`
-- `ui/src/pages/AgentDetail.tsx`
-
-## 1. Purpose
-
-This document defines the product and UI plan for skill management in Paperclip.
-
-The goal is to make skills understandable and manageable in the website without pretending that all adapters behave the same way.
-
-This plan assumes:
-
-- `SKILL.md` remains Agent Skills compatible
-- `skills.sh` compatibility is a V1 requirement
-- Paperclip company import/export can include skills as package content
-- adapters may support persistent skill sync, ephemeral skill mounting, read-only skill discovery, or no skill integration at all
-
-## 2. Current State
-
-There is already a first-pass agent-level skill sync UI on `AgentDetail`.
-
-Today it supports:
-
-- loading adapter skill sync state
-- showing unsupported adapters clearly
-- showing managed skills as checkboxes
-- showing external skills separately
-- syncing desired skills for adapters that implement the new API
-
-Current limitations:
-
-1. There is no company-level skill library UI.
-2. There is no package import flow for skills in the website.
-3. There is no distinction between skill package management and per-agent skill attachment.
-4. There is no multi-agent desired-vs-actual view.
-5. The current UI is adapter-sync-oriented, not package-oriented.
-6. Unsupported adapters degrade safely, but not elegantly.
-
-## 2.1 V1 Decisions
-
-For V1, this plan assumes the following product decisions are already made:
-
-1. `skills.sh` compatibility is required.
-2. Agent-to-skill association in `AGENTS.md` is by shortname or slug.
-3. Company skills and agent skill attachments are separate concepts.
-4. Agent skills should move to their own tab rather than living inside configuration.
-5. Company import/export should eventually round-trip skill packages and agent skill attachments.
-
-## 3. Product Principles
-
-1. Skills are company assets first, agent attachments second.
-2. Package management and adapter sync are different concerns and should not be conflated in one screen.
-3. The UI must always tell the truth about what Paperclip knows:
-   - desired state in Paperclip
-   - actual state reported by the adapter
-   - whether the adapter can reconcile the two
-4. Agent Skills compatibility must remain visible in the product model.
-5. Agent-to-skill associations should be human-readable and shortname-based wherever possible.
-6. Unsupported adapters should still have a useful UI, not just a dead end.
-
-## 4. User Model
-
-Paperclip should treat skills at two scopes:
-
-### 4.1 Company skills
-
-These are reusable skills known to the company.
-
-Examples:
-
-- imported from a GitHub repo
-- added from a local folder
-- installed from a `skills.sh`-compatible repo
-- created locally inside Paperclip later
-
-These should have:
-
-- name
-- description
-- slug or package identity
-- source/provenance
-- trust level
-- compatibility status
-
-### 4.2 Agent skills
-
-These are skill attachments for a specific agent.
-
-Each attachment should have:
-
-- shortname
-- desired state in Paperclip
-- actual state in the adapter when readable
-- sync status
-- origin
-
-Agent attachments should normally reference skills by shortname or slug, for example:
-
-- `review`
-- `react-best-practices`
-
-not by noisy relative file path.
-
-## 4.3 Primary user jobs
-
-The UI should support these jobs cleanly:
-
-1. “Show me what skills this company has.”
-2. “Import a skill from GitHub or a local folder.”
-3. “See whether a skill is safe, compatible, and who uses it.”
-4. “Attach skills to an agent.”
-5. “See whether the adapter actually has those skills.”
-6. “Reconcile desired vs actual skill state.”
-7. “Understand what Paperclip knows vs what the adapter knows.”
-
-## 5. Core UI Surfaces
-
-The product should have two primary skill surfaces.
-
-### 5.1 Company Skills page
-
-Add a company-level page, likely:
-
-- `/companies/:companyId/skills`
-
-Purpose:
-
-- manage the company skill library
-- import and inspect skill packages
-- understand provenance and trust
-- see which agents use which skills
-
-#### Route
-
-- `/companies/:companyId/skills`
-
-#### Primary actions
-
-- import skill
-- inspect skill
-- attach to agents
-- detach from agents
-- export selected skills later
-
-#### Empty state
-
-When the company has no managed skills:
-
-- explain what skills are
-- explain `skills.sh` / Agent Skills compatibility
-- offer `Import from GitHub` and `Import from folder`
-- optionally show adapter-discovered skills as a secondary “not managed yet” section
-
-#### A. Skill library list
-
-Each skill row should show:
-
-- name
-- short description
-- source badge
-- trust badge
-- compatibility badge
-- number of attached agents
-
-Suggested source states:
-
-- local
-- github
-- imported package
-- external reference
-- adapter-discovered only
-
-Suggested compatibility states:
-
-- compatible
-- paperclip-extension
-- unknown
-- invalid
-
-Suggested trust states:
-
-- markdown-only
-- assets
-- scripts/executables
-
-Suggested list affordances:
-
-- search by name or slug
-- filter by source
-- filter by trust level
-- filter by usage
-- sort by name, recent import, usage count
-
-#### B. Import actions
-
-Allow:
-
-- import from local folder
-- import from GitHub URL
-- import from direct URL
-
-Future:
-
-- install from `companies.sh`
-- install from `skills.sh`
-
-V1 requirement:
-
-- importing from a `skills.sh`-compatible source should work without requiring a Paperclip-specific package layout
-
-#### C. Skill detail drawer or page
-
-Each skill should have a detail view showing:
-
-- rendered `SKILL.md`
-- package source and pinning
-- included files
-- trust and licensing warnings
-- who uses it
-- adapter compatibility notes
-
-Recommended route:
-
-- `/companies/:companyId/skills/:skillId`
-
-Recommended sections:
-
-- Overview
-- Contents
-- Usage
-- Source
-- Trust / licensing
-
-#### D. Usage view
-
-Each company skill should show which agents use it.
-
-Suggested columns:
-
-- agent
-- desired state
-- actual state
-- adapter
-- sync mode
-- last sync status
-
-### 5.2 Agent Skills tab
-
-Keep and evolve the existing `AgentDetail` skill sync UI, but move it out of configuration.
-
-Purpose:
-
-- attach/detach company skills to one agent
-- inspect adapter reality for that agent
-- reconcile desired vs actual state
-- keep the association format readable and aligned with `AGENTS.md`
-
-#### Route
-
-- `/agents/:agentId/skills`
-
-#### Agent tabs
-
-The intended agent-level tab model becomes:
-
-- `dashboard`
-- `configuration`
-- `skills`
-- `runs`
-
-This is preferable to hiding skills inside configuration because:
-
-- skills are not just adapter config
-- skills need their own sync/status language
-- skills are a reusable company asset, not merely one agent field
-- the screen needs room for desired vs actual state, warnings, and external skill adoption
-
-#### Tab layout
-
-The `Skills` tab should have three stacked sections:
-
-1. Summary
-2. Managed skills
-3. External / discovered skills
-
-Summary should show:
-
-- adapter sync support
-- sync mode
-- number of managed skills
-- number of external skills
-- drift or warning count
-
-#### A. Desired skills
-
-Show company-managed skills attached to the agent.
-
-Each row should show:
-
-- skill name
-- shortname
-- sync state
-- source
-- last adapter observation if available
-
-Each row should support:
-
-- enable / disable
-- open skill detail
-- see source badge
-- see sync badge
-
-#### B. External or discovered skills
-
-Show skills reported by the adapter that are not company-managed.
-
-This matters because Codex and similar adapters may already have local skills that Paperclip did not install.
-
-These should be clearly marked:
-
-- external
-- not managed by Paperclip
-
-Each external row should support:
-
-- inspect
-- adopt into company library later
-- attach as managed skill later if appropriate
-
-#### C. Sync controls
-
-Support:
-
-- sync
-- reset draft
-- detach
-
-Future:
-
-- import external skill into company library
-- promote ad hoc local skill into a managed company skill
-
-Recommended footer actions:
-
-- `Sync skills`
-- `Reset`
-- `Refresh adapter state`
-
-## 6. Skill State Model In The UI
-
-Each skill attachment should have a user-facing state.
-
-Suggested states:
-
-- `in_sync`
-- `desired_only`
-- `external`
-- `drifted`
-- `unmanaged`
-- `unknown`
-
-Definitions:
-
-- `in_sync`: desired and actual match
-- `desired_only`: Paperclip wants it, adapter does not show it yet
-- `external`: adapter has it but Paperclip does not manage it
-- `drifted`: adapter has a conflicting or unexpected version/location
-- `unmanaged`: adapter does not support sync, Paperclip only tracks desired state
-- `unknown`: adapter read failed or state cannot be trusted
-
-Suggested badge copy:
-
-- `In sync`
-- `Needs sync`
-- `External`
-- `Drifted`
-- `Unmanaged`
-- `Unknown`
-
-## 7. Adapter Presentation Rules
-
-The UI should not describe all adapters the same way.
-
-### 7.1 Persistent adapters
-
-Example:
-
-- Codex local
-
-Language:
-
-- installed
-- synced into adapter home
-- external skills detected
-
-### 7.2 Ephemeral adapters
-
-Example:
-
-- Claude local
-
-Language:
-
-- will be mounted on next run
-- effective runtime skills
-- not globally installed
-
-### 7.3 Unsupported adapters
-
-Language:
-
-- this adapter does not implement skill sync yet
-- Paperclip can still track desired skills
-- actual adapter state is unavailable
-
-This state should still allow:
-
-- attaching company skills to the agent as desired state
-- export/import of those desired attachments
-
-## 7.4 Read-only adapters
-
-Some adapters may be able to list skills but not mutate them.
-
-Language:
-
-- Paperclip can see adapter skills
-- this adapter does not support applying changes
-- desired state can be tracked, but reconciliation is manual
-
-## 8. Information Architecture
-
-Recommended navigation:
-
-- company nav adds `Skills`
-- agent detail adds `Skills` as its own tab
-- company skill detail gets its own route when the company library ships
-
-Recommended separation:
-
-- Company Skills page answers: “What skills do we have?”
-- Agent Skills tab answers: “What does this agent use, and is it synced?”
-
-## 8.1 Proposed route map
-
-- `/companies/:companyId/skills`
-- `/companies/:companyId/skills/:skillId`
-- `/agents/:agentId/skills`
-
-## 8.2 Nav and discovery
-
-Recommended entry points:
-
-- company sidebar: `Skills`
-- agent page tabs: `Skills`
-- company import preview: link imported skills to company skills page later
-- agent skills rows: link to company skill detail
-
-## 9. Import / Export Integration
-
-Skill UI and package portability should meet in the company skill library.
-
-Import behavior:
-
-- importing a company package with `SKILL.md` content should create or update company skills
-- agent attachments should primarily come from `AGENTS.md` shortname associations
-- `.paperclip.yaml` may add Paperclip-specific fidelity, but should not replace the base shortname association model
-- referenced third-party skills should keep provenance visible
-
-Export behavior:
-
-- exporting a company should include company-managed skills when selected
-- `AGENTS.md` should emit skill associations by shortname or slug
-- `.paperclip.yaml` may add Paperclip-specific skill fidelity later if needed, but should not be required for ordinary agent-to-skill association
-- adapter-only external skills should not be silently exported as managed company skills
-
-## 9.1 Import workflows
-
-V1 workflows should support:
-
-1. import one or more skills from a local folder
-2. import one or more skills from a GitHub repo
-3. import a company package that contains skills
-4. attach imported skills to one or more agents
-
-Import preview for skills should show:
-
-- skills discovered
-- source and pinning
-- trust level
-- licensing warnings
-- whether an existing company skill will be created, updated, or skipped
-
-## 9.2 Export workflows
-
-V1 should support:
-
-1. export a company with managed skills included when selected
-2. export an agent whose `AGENTS.md` contains shortname skill associations
-3. preserve Agent Skills compatibility for each `SKILL.md`
-
-Out of scope for V1:
-
-- exporting adapter-only external skills as managed packages automatically
-
-## 10. Data And API Shape
-
-This plan implies a clean split in backend concepts.
-
-### 10.1 Company skill records
-
-Paperclip should have a company-scoped skill model or managed package model representing:
-
-- identity
-- source
-- files
-- provenance
-- trust and licensing metadata
-
-### 10.2 Agent skill attachments
-
-Paperclip should separately store:
-
-- agent id
-- skill identity
-- desired enabled state
-- optional ordering or metadata later
-
-### 10.3 Adapter sync snapshot
-
-Adapter reads should return:
-
-- supported flag
-- sync mode
-- entries
-- warnings
-- desired skills
-
-This already exists in rough form and should be the basis for the UI.
-
-### 10.4 UI-facing API needs
-
-The complete UI implies these API surfaces:
-
-- list company-managed skills
-- import company skills from path/URL/GitHub
-- get one company skill detail
-- list agents using a given skill
-- attach/detach company skills for an agent
-- list adapter sync snapshot for an agent
-- apply desired skills for an agent
-
-Existing agent-level skill sync APIs can remain the base for the agent tab.
-The company-level library APIs still need to be designed and implemented.
-
-## 11. Page-by-page UX
-
-### 11.1 Company Skills list page
-
-Header:
-
-- title
-- short explanation of compatibility with Agent Skills / `skills.sh`
-- import button
-
-Body:
-
-- filters
-- skill table or cards
-- empty state when none
-
-Secondary content:
-
-- warnings panel for untrusted or incompatible skills
-
-### 11.2 Company Skill detail page
-
-Header:
-
-- skill name
-- shortname
-- source badge
-- trust badge
-- compatibility badge
-
-Sections:
-
-- rendered `SKILL.md`
-- files and references
-- usage by agents
-- source / provenance
-- trust and licensing warnings
-
-Actions:
-
-- attach to agent
-- remove from company library later
-- export later
-
-### 11.3 Agent Skills tab
-
-Header:
-
-- adapter support summary
-- sync mode
-- refresh and sync actions
-
-Body:
-
-- managed skills list
-- external/discovered skills list
-- warnings / unsupported state block
-
-## 12. States And Empty Cases
-
-### 12.1 Company Skills page
-
-States:
-
-- empty
-- loading
-- loaded
-- import in progress
-- import failed
-
-### 12.2 Company Skill detail
-
-States:
-
-- loading
-- not found
-- incompatible
-- loaded
-
-### 12.3 Agent Skills tab
-
-States:
-
-- loading snapshot
-- unsupported adapter
-- read-only adapter
-- sync-capable adapter
-- sync failed
-- stale draft
-
-## 13. Permissions And Governance
-
-Suggested V1 policy:
-
-- board users can manage company skills
-- board users can attach skills to agents
-- agents themselves do not mutate company skill library by default
-- later, certain agents may get scoped permissions for skill attachment or sync
-
-## 14. UI Phases
-
-### Phase A: Stabilize current agent skill sync UI
-
-Goals:
-
-- move skills to an `AgentDetail` tab
-- improve status language
-- support desired-only state even on unsupported adapters
-- polish copy for persistent vs ephemeral adapters
-
-### Phase B: Add Company Skills page
-
-Goals:
-
-- company-level skill library
-- import from GitHub/local folder
-- basic detail view
-- usage counts by agent
-- `skills.sh`-compatible import path
-
-### Phase C: Connect skills to portability
-
-Goals:
-
-- importing company packages creates company skills
-- exporting selected skills works cleanly
-- agent attachments round-trip primarily through `AGENTS.md` shortnames
-
-### Phase D: External skill adoption flow
-
-Goals:
-
-- detect adapter external skills
-- allow importing them into company-managed state where possible
-- make provenance explicit
-
-### Phase E: Advanced sync and drift UX
-
-Goals:
-
-- desired-vs-actual diffing
-- drift resolution actions
-- multi-agent skill usage and sync reporting
-
-## 15. Design Risks
-
-1. Overloading the agent page with package management will make the feature confusing.
-2. Treating unsupported adapters as broken rather than unmanaged will make the product feel inconsistent.
-3. Mixing external adapter-discovered skills with company-managed skills without clear labels will erode trust.
-4. If company skill records do not exist, import/export and UI will remain loosely coupled and round-trip fidelity will stay weak.
-5. If agent skill associations are path-based instead of shortname-based, the format will feel too technical and too Paperclip-specific.
-
-## 16. Recommendation
-
-The next product step should be:
-
-1. move skills out of agent configuration and into a dedicated `Skills` tab
-2. add a dedicated company-level `Skills` page as the library and package-management surface
-3. make company import/export target that company skill library, not the agent page directly
-4. preserve adapter-aware truth in the UI by clearly separating:
-   - desired
-   - actual
-   - external
-   - unmanaged
-5. keep agent-to-skill associations shortname-based in `AGENTS.md`
-
-That gives Paperclip one coherent skill story instead of forcing package management, adapter sync, and agent configuration into the same screen.

-# Docker Release Browser E2E Plan
-
-## Context
-
-Today release smoke testing for published Paperclip packages is manual and shell-driven:
-
-```sh
-HOST_PORT=3232 DATA_DIR=./data/release-smoke-canary PAPERCLIPAI_VERSION=canary ./scripts/docker-onboard-smoke.sh
-HOST_PORT=3233 DATA_DIR=./data/release-smoke-stable PAPERCLIPAI_VERSION=latest ./scripts/docker-onboard-smoke.sh
-```
-
-That is useful because it exercises the same public install surface users hit:
-
-- Docker
-- `npx paperclipai@canary`
-- `npx paperclipai@latest`
-- authenticated bootstrap flow
-
-But it still leaves the most important release questions to a human with a browser:
-
-- can I sign in with the smoke credentials?
-- do I land in onboarding?
-- can I complete onboarding?
-- does the initial CEO agent actually get created and run?
-
-The repo already has two adjacent pieces:
-
-- `tests/e2e/onboarding.spec.ts` covers the onboarding wizard against the local source tree
-- `scripts/docker-onboard-smoke.sh` boots a published Docker install and auto-bootstraps authenticated mode, but only verifies the API/session layer
-
-What is missing is one deterministic browser test that joins those two paths.
-
-## Goal
-
-Add a release-grade Docker-backed browser E2E that validates the published `canary` and `latest` installs end to end:
-
-1. boot the published package in Docker
-2. sign in with known smoke credentials
-3. verify the user is routed into onboarding
-4. complete onboarding in the browser
-5. verify the first CEO agent exists
-6. verify the initial CEO run was triggered and reached a terminal or active state
-
-Then wire that test into GitHub Actions so release validation is no longer manual-only.
-
-## Recommendation In One Sentence
-
-Turn the current Docker smoke script into a machine-friendly test harness, add a dedicated Playwright release-smoke spec that drives the authenticated browser flow against published Docker installs, and run it in GitHub Actions for both `canary` and `latest`.
-
-## What We Have Today
-
-### Existing local browser coverage
-
-`tests/e2e/onboarding.spec.ts` already proves the onboarding wizard can:
-
-- create a company
-- create a CEO agent
-- create an initial issue
-- optionally observe task progress
-
-That is a good base, but it does not validate the public npm package, Docker path, authenticated login flow, or release dist-tags.
-
-### Existing Docker smoke coverage
-
-`scripts/docker-onboard-smoke.sh` already does useful setup work:
-
-- builds `Dockerfile.onboard-smoke`
-- runs `paperclipai@${PAPERCLIPAI_VERSION}` inside Docker
-- waits for health
-- signs up or signs in a smoke admin user
-- generates and accepts the bootstrap CEO invite in authenticated mode
-- verifies a board session and `/api/companies`
-
-That means the hard bootstrap problem is mostly solved already. The main gap is that the script is human-oriented and never hands control to a browser test.
-
-### Existing CI shape
-
-The repo already has:
-
-- `.github/workflows/e2e.yml` for manual Playwright runs against local source
-- `.github/workflows/release.yml` for canary publish on `master` and manual stable promotion
-
-So the right move is to extend the current test/release system, not create a parallel one.
-
-## Product Decision
-
-### 1. The release smoke should stay deterministic and token-free
-
-The first version should not require OpenAI, Anthropic, or external agent credentials.
-
-Use the onboarding flow with a deterministic adapter that can run on a stock GitHub runner and inside the published Docker install. The existing `process` adapter with a trivial command is the right base path for this release gate.
-
-That keeps this test focused on:
-
-- release packaging
-- auth/bootstrap
-- UI routing
-- onboarding contract
-- agent creation
-- heartbeat invocation plumbing
-
-Later we can add a second credentialed smoke lane for real model-backed agents.
-
-### 2. Smoke credentials become an explicit test contract
-
-The current defaults in `scripts/docker-onboard-smoke.sh` should be treated as stable test fixtures:
-
-- email: `smoke-admin@paperclip.local`
-- password: `paperclip-smoke-password`
-
-The browser test should log in with those exact values unless overridden by env vars.
-
-### 3. Published-package smoke and source-tree E2E stay separate
-
-Keep two lanes:
-
-- source-tree E2E for feature development
-- published Docker release smoke for release confidence
-
-They overlap on onboarding assertions, but they guard different failure classes.
-
-## Proposed Design
-
-## 1. Add a CI-friendly Docker smoke harness
-
-Refactor `scripts/docker-onboard-smoke.sh` so it can run in two modes:
-
-- interactive mode
-  - current behavior
-  - streams logs and waits in foreground for manual inspection
-- CI mode
-  - starts the container
-  - waits for health and authenticated bootstrap
-  - prints machine-readable metadata
-  - exits while leaving the container running for Playwright
-
-Recommended shape:
-
-- keep `scripts/docker-onboard-smoke.sh` as the public entry point
-- add a `SMOKE_DETACH=true` or `--detach` mode
-- emit a JSON blob or `.env` file containing:
-  - `SMOKE_BASE_URL`
-  - `SMOKE_ADMIN_EMAIL`
-  - `SMOKE_ADMIN_PASSWORD`
-  - `SMOKE_CONTAINER_NAME`
-  - `SMOKE_DATA_DIR`
-
-The workflow and Playwright tests can then consume the emitted metadata instead of scraping logs.
-
-### Why this matters
-
-The current script always tails logs and then blocks on `wait "$LOG_PID"`. That is convenient for manual smoke testing, but it is the wrong shape for CI orchestration.
-
-## 2. Add a dedicated Playwright release-smoke spec
-
-Create a second Playwright entry point specifically for published Docker installs, for example:
-
-- `tests/release-smoke/playwright.config.ts`
-- `tests/release-smoke/docker-auth-onboarding.spec.ts`
-
-This suite should not use Playwright `webServer`, because the app server will already be running inside Docker.
-
-### Browser scenario
-
-The first release-smoke scenario should validate:
-
-1. open `/`
-2. unauthenticated user is redirected to `/auth`
-3. sign in using the smoke credentials
-4. authenticated user lands on onboarding when no companies exist
-5. onboarding wizard appears with the expected step labels
-6. create a company
-7. create the first agent using `process`
-8. create the initial issue
-9. finish onboarding and open the created issue
-10. verify via API:
-    - company exists
-    - CEO agent exists
-    - issue exists and is assigned to the CEO
-11. verify the first heartbeat run was triggered:
-    - either by checking issue status changed from initial state, or
-    - by checking agent/runs API shows a run for the CEO, or
-    - both
-
-The test should tolerate the run completing quickly. For this reason, the assertion should accept:
-
-- `queued`
-- `running`
-- `succeeded`
-
-and similarly for issue progression if the issue status changes before the assertion runs.
-
-### Why a separate spec instead of reusing `tests/e2e/onboarding.spec.ts`
-
-The local-source test and release-smoke test have different assumptions:
-
-- different server lifecycle
-- different auth path
-- different deployment mode
-- published npm package instead of local workspace code
-
-Trying to force both through one spec will make both worse.
-
-## 3. Add a release-smoke workflow in GitHub Actions
-
-Add a workflow dedicated to this surface, ideally reusable:
-
-- `.github/workflows/release-smoke.yml`
-
-Recommended triggers:
-
-- `workflow_dispatch`
-- `workflow_call`
-
-Recommended inputs:
-
-- `paperclip_version`
-  - `canary` or `latest`
-- `host_port`
-  - optional, default runner-safe port
-- `artifact_name`
-  - optional for clearer uploads
-
-### Job outline
-
-1. checkout repo
-2. install Node/pnpm
-3. install Playwright browser dependencies
-4. launch Docker smoke harness in detached mode with the chosen dist-tag
-5. run the release-smoke Playwright suite against the returned base URL
-6. always collect diagnostics:
-   - Playwright report
-   - screenshots
-   - trace
-   - `docker logs`
-   - harness metadata file
-7. stop and remove container
-
-### Why a reusable workflow
-
-This lets us:
-
-- run the smoke manually on demand
-- call it from `release.yml`
-- reuse the same job for both `canary` and `latest`
-
-## 4. Integrate it into release automation incrementally
-
-### Phase A: Manual workflow only
-
-First ship the workflow as manual-only so the harness and test can be stabilized without blocking releases.
-
-### Phase B: Run automatically after canary publish
-
-After `publish_canary` succeeds in `.github/workflows/release.yml`, call the reusable release-smoke workflow with:
-
-- `paperclip_version=canary`
-
-This proves the just-published public canary really boots and onboards.
-
-### Phase C: Run automatically after stable publish
-
-After `publish_stable` succeeds, call the same workflow with:
-
-- `paperclip_version=latest`
-
-This gives us post-publish confirmation that the stable dist-tag is healthy.
-
-### Important nuance
-
-Testing `latest` from npm cannot happen before stable publish, because the package under test does not exist under `latest` yet. So the `latest` smoke is a post-publish verification, not a pre-publish gate.
-
-If we later want a true pre-publish stable gate, that should be a separate source-ref or locally built package smoke job.
-
-## 5. Make diagnostics first-class
-
-This workflow is only valuable if failures are fast to debug.
-
-Always capture:
-
-- Playwright HTML report
-- Playwright trace on failure
-- final screenshot on failure
-- full `docker logs` output
-- emitted smoke metadata
-- optional `curl /api/health` snapshot
-
-Without that, the test will become a flaky black box and people will stop trusting it.
-
-## Implementation Plan
-
-## Phase 1: Harness refactor
-
-Files:
-
-- `scripts/docker-onboard-smoke.sh`
-- optionally `scripts/lib/docker-onboard-smoke.sh` or similar helper
-- `doc/DOCKER.md`
-- `doc/RELEASING.md`
-
-Tasks:
-
-1. Add detached/CI mode to the Docker smoke script.
-2. Make the script emit machine-readable connection metadata.
-3. Keep the current interactive manual mode intact.
-4. Add reliable cleanup commands for CI.
-
-Acceptance:
-
-- a script invocation can start the published Docker app, auto-bootstrap it, and return control to the caller with enough metadata for browser automation
-
-## Phase 2: Browser release-smoke suite
-
-Files:
-
-- `tests/release-smoke/playwright.config.ts`
-- `tests/release-smoke/docker-auth-onboarding.spec.ts`
-- root `package.json`
-
-Tasks:
-
-1. Add a dedicated Playwright config for external server testing.
-2. Implement login + onboarding + CEO creation flow.
-3. Assert a CEO run was created or completed.
-4. Add a root script such as:
-   - `test:release-smoke`
-
-Acceptance:
-
-- the suite passes locally against both:
-  - `PAPERCLIPAI_VERSION=canary`
-  - `PAPERCLIPAI_VERSION=latest`
-
-## Phase 3: GitHub Actions workflow
-
-Files:
-
-- `.github/workflows/release-smoke.yml`
-
-Tasks:
-
-1. Add manual and reusable workflow entry points.
-2. Install Chromium and runner dependencies.
-3. Start Docker smoke in detached mode.
-4. Run the release-smoke Playwright suite.
-5. Upload diagnostics artifacts.
-
-Acceptance:
-
-- a maintainer can run the workflow manually for either `canary` or `latest`
-
-## Phase 4: Release workflow integration
-
-Files:
-
-- `.github/workflows/release.yml`
-- `doc/RELEASING.md`
-
-Tasks:
-
-1. Trigger release smoke automatically after canary publish.
-2. Trigger release smoke automatically after stable publish.
-3. Document expected behavior and failure handling.
-
-Acceptance:
-
-- canary releases automatically produce a published-package browser smoke result
-- stable releases automatically produce a `latest` browser smoke result
-
-## Phase 5: Future extension for real model-backed agent validation
-
-Not part of the first implementation, but this should be the next layer after the deterministic lane is stable.
-
-Possible additions:
-
-- a second Playwright project gated on repo secrets
-- real `claude_local` or `codex_local` adapter validation in Docker-capable environments
-- assertion that the CEO posts a real task/comment artifact
-- stable release holdback until the credentialed lane passes
-
-This should stay optional until the token-free lane is trustworthy.
-
-## Acceptance Criteria
-
-The plan is complete when the implemented system can demonstrate all of the following:
-
-1. A published `paperclipai@canary` Docker install can be smoke-tested by Playwright in CI.
-2. A published `paperclipai@latest` Docker install can be smoke-tested by Playwright in CI.
-3. The test logs into authenticated mode with the smoke credentials.
-4. The test sees onboarding for a fresh instance.
-5. The test completes onboarding in the browser.
-6. The test verifies the initial CEO agent was created.
-7. The test verifies at least one CEO heartbeat run was triggered.
-8. Failures produce actionable artifacts rather than just a red job.
-
-## Risks And Decisions To Make
-
-### 1. Fast process runs may finish before the UI visibly updates
-
-That is expected. The assertions should prefer API polling for run existence/status rather than only visual indicators.
-
-### 2. `latest` smoke is post-publish, not preventive
-
-This is a real limitation of testing the published dist-tag itself. It is still valuable, but it should not be confused with a pre-publish gate.
-
-### 3. We should not overcouple the test to cosmetic onboarding text
-
-The important contract is flow success, created entities, and run creation. Use visible labels sparingly and prefer stable semantic selectors where possible.
-
-### 4. Keep the smoke adapter path boring
-
-For release safety, the first test should use the most boring runnable adapter possible. This is not the place to validate every adapter.
-
-## Recommended First Slice
-
-If we want the fastest path to value, ship this in order:
-
-1. add detached mode to `scripts/docker-onboard-smoke.sh`
-2. add one Playwright spec for authenticated login + onboarding + CEO run verification
-3. add manual `release-smoke.yml`
-4. once stable, wire canary into `release.yml`
-5. after that, wire stable `latest` smoke into `release.yml`
-
-That gives release confidence quickly without turning the first version into a large CI redesign.

-# Paperclip Memory Service Plan
-
-## Goal
-
-Define a Paperclip memory service and surface API that can sit above multiple memory backends, while preserving Paperclip's control-plane requirements:
-
-- company scoping
-- auditability
-- provenance back to Paperclip work objects
-- budget / cost visibility
-- plugin-first extensibility
-
-This plan is based on the external landscape summarized in `doc/memory-landscape.md` and on the current Paperclip architecture in:
-
-- `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`
-- `doc/plugins/PLUGIN_SPEC.md`
-- `doc/plugins/PLUGIN_AUTHORING_GUIDE.md`
-- `packages/plugins/sdk/src/types.ts`
-
-## Recommendation In One Sentence
-
-Paperclip should not embed one opinionated memory engine into core. It should add a company-scoped memory control plane with a small normalized adapter contract, then let built-ins and plugins implement the provider-specific behavior.
-
-## Product Decisions
-
-### 1. Memory is company-scoped by default
-
-Every memory binding belongs to exactly one company.
-
-That binding can then be:
-
-- the company default
-- an agent override
-- a project override later if we need it
-
-No cross-company memory sharing in the initial design.
-
-### 2. Providers are selected by key
-
-Each configured memory provider gets a stable key inside a company, for example:
-
-- `default`
-- `mem0-prod`
-- `local-markdown`
-- `research-kb`
-
-Agents and services resolve the active provider by key, not by hard-coded vendor logic.
-
-### 3. Plugins are the primary provider path
-
-Built-ins are useful for a zero-config local path, but most providers should arrive through the existing Paperclip plugin runtime.
-
-That keeps the core small and matches the current direction that optional knowledge-like systems live at the edges.
-
-### 4. Paperclip owns routing, provenance, and accounting
-
-Providers should not decide how Paperclip entities map to governance.
-
-Paperclip core should own:
-
-- who is allowed to call a memory operation
-- which company / agent / project scope is active
-- what issue / run / comment / document the operation belongs to
-- how usage gets recorded
-
-### 5. Automatic memory should be narrow at first
-
-Automatic capture is useful, but broad silent capture is dangerous.
-
-Initial automatic hooks should be:
-
-- post-run capture from agent runs
-- issue comment / document capture when the binding enables it
-- pre-run recall for agent context hydration
-
-Everything else should start explicit.
-
-## Proposed Concepts
-
-### Memory provider
-
-A built-in or plugin-supplied implementation that stores and retrieves memory.
-
-Examples:
-
-- local markdown + vector index
-- mem0 adapter
-- supermemory adapter
-- MemOS adapter
-
-### Memory binding
-
-A company-scoped configuration record that points to a provider and carries provider-specific config.
-
-This is the object selected by key.
-
-### Memory scope
-
-The normalized Paperclip scope passed into a provider request.
-
-At minimum:
-
-- `companyId`
-- optional `agentId`
-- optional `projectId`
-- optional `issueId`
-- optional `runId`
-- optional `subjectId` for external/user identity
-
-### Memory source reference
-
-The provenance handle that explains where a memory came from.
-
-Supported source kinds should include:
-
-- `issue_comment`
-- `issue_document`
-- `issue`
-- `run`
-- `activity`
-- `manual_note`
-- `external_document`
-
-### Memory operation
-
-A normalized write, query, browse, or delete action performed through Paperclip.
-
-Paperclip should log every operation, whether the provider is local or external.
-
-## Required Adapter Contract

-The required core should be small enough to fit `memsearch`, `mem0`, `Memori`, `MemOS`, or `OpenViking`.

-
-This contract intentionally does not force a provider to expose its internal graph, filesystem, or ontology.
-
-## Optional Adapter Surfaces
-
-These should be capability-gated, not required:
-
-- `browse(scope, filters)` for file-system / graph / timeline inspection
-- `correct(handle, patch)` for natural-language correction flows
-- `profile(scope)` when the provider can synthesize stable preferences or summaries
-- `sync(source)` for connectors or background ingestion
-- `explain(queryResult)` for providers that can expose retrieval traces
-
-## What Paperclip Should Persist
-
-Paperclip should not mirror the full provider memory corpus into Postgres unless the provider is a Paperclip-managed local provider.
-
-Paperclip core should persist:
-
-- memory bindings and overrides
-- provider keys and capability metadata
-- normalized memory operation logs
-- provider record handles returned by operations when available
-- source references back to issue comments, documents, runs, and activity
-- usage and cost data
-
-For external providers, the memory payload itself can remain in the provider.
-
-## Hook Model
-
-### Automatic hooks
-
-These should be low-risk and easy to reason about:
-
-1. `pre-run hydrate`
-   Before an agent run starts, Paperclip may call `query(... intent = "agent_preamble")` using the active binding.
-
-2. `post-run capture`
-   After a run finishes, Paperclip may write a summary or transcript-derived note tied to the run.
-
-3. `issue comment / document capture`
-   When enabled on the binding, Paperclip may capture selected issue comments or issue documents as memory sources.
-
-### Explicit hooks
-
-These should be tool- or UI-driven first:
-
-- `memory.search`
-- `memory.note`
-- `memory.forget`
-- `memory.correct`
-- `memory.browse`
-
-### Not automatic in the first version
-
-- broad web crawling
-- silent import of arbitrary repo files
-- cross-company memory sharing
-- automatic destructive deletion
-- provider migration between bindings
-
-## Agent UX Rules
-
-Paperclip should give agents both automatic recall and explicit tools, with simple guidance:
-
-- use `memory.search` when the task depends on prior decisions, people, projects, or long-running context that is not in the current issue thread
-- use `memory.note` when a durable fact, preference, or decision should survive this run
-- use `memory.correct` when the user explicitly says prior context is wrong
-- rely on post-run auto-capture for ordinary session residue so agents do not have to write memory notes for every trivial exchange
-
-This keeps memory available without forcing every agent prompt to become a memory-management protocol.
-
-## Browse And Inspect Surface
-
-Paperclip needs a first-class UI for memory, otherwise providers become black boxes.
-
-The initial browse surface should support:
-
-- active binding by company and agent
-- recent memory operations
-- recent write sources
-- query results with source backlinks
-- filters by agent, issue, run, source kind, and date
-- provider usage / cost / latency summaries
-
-When a provider supports richer browsing, the plugin can add deeper views through the existing plugin UI surfaces.
-
-## Cost And Evaluation
-
-Every adapter response should be able to return usage records.
-
-Paperclip should roll up:
-
-- memory inference tokens
-- embedding tokens
-- external provider cost
-- latency
-- query count
-- write count
-
-It should also record evaluation-oriented metrics where possible:
-
-- recall hit rate
-- empty query rate
-- manual correction count
-- per-binding success / failure counts
-
-This is important because a memory system that "works" but silently burns budget is not acceptable in Paperclip.
-
-## Suggested Data Model Additions
-
-At the control-plane level, the likely new core tables are:
-
-- `memory_bindings`
-  - company-scoped key
-  - provider id / plugin id
-  - config blob
-  - enabled status
-
-- `memory_binding_targets`
-  - target type (`company`, `agent`, later `project`)
-  - target id
-  - binding id
-
-- `memory_operations`
-  - company id
-  - binding id
-  - operation type (`write`, `query`, `forget`, `browse`, `correct`)
-  - scope fields
-  - source refs
-  - usage / latency / cost
-  - success / error
-
-Provider-specific long-form state should stay in plugin state or the provider itself unless a built-in local provider needs its own schema.
-
-## Recommended First Built-In
-
-The best zero-config built-in is a local markdown-first provider with optional semantic indexing.
-
-Why:
-
-- it matches Paperclip's local-first posture
-- it is inspectable
-- it is easy to back up and debug
-- it gives the system a baseline even without external API keys
-
-The design should still treat that built-in as just another provider behind the same control-plane contract.
-
-## Rollout Phases
-
-### Phase 1: Control-plane contract
-
-- add memory binding models and API types
-- add plugin capability / registration surface for memory providers
-- add operation logging and usage reporting
-
-### Phase 2: One built-in + one plugin example
-
-- ship a local markdown-first provider
-- ship one hosted adapter example to validate the external-provider path
-
-### Phase 3: UI inspection
-
-- add company / agent memory settings
-- add a memory operation explorer
-- add source backlinks to issues and runs
-
-### Phase 4: Automatic hooks
-
-- pre-run hydrate
-- post-run capture
-- selected issue comment / document capture
-
-### Phase 5: Rich capabilities
-
-- correction flows
-- provider-native browse / graph views
-- project-level overrides if needed
-- evaluation dashboards
-
-## Open Questions
-
-- Should project overrides exist in V1 of the memory service, or should we force company default + agent override first?
-- Do we want Paperclip-managed extraction pipelines at all, or should built-ins be the only place where Paperclip owns extraction?
-- Should memory usage extend the current `cost_events` model directly, or should memory operations keep a parallel usage log and roll up into `cost_events` secondarily?
-- Do we want provider install / binding changes to require approvals for some companies?
-
-## Bottom Line
-
-The right abstraction is:
-
-- Paperclip owns memory bindings, scopes, provenance, governance, and usage reporting.
-- Providers own extraction, ranking, storage, and provider-native memory semantics.
-
-That gives Paperclip a stable "memory service" without locking the product to one memory philosophy or one vendor.

-# Release Automation and Versioning Simplification Plan
-
-## Context
-
-Paperclip's current release flow is documented in `doc/RELEASING.md` and implemented through:
-
-- `.github/workflows/release.yml`
-- `scripts/release-lib.sh`
-- `scripts/release-start.sh`
-- `scripts/release-preflight.sh`
-- `scripts/release.sh`
-- `scripts/create-github-release.sh`
-
-Today the model is:
-
-1. pick `patch`, `minor`, or `major`
-2. create `release/X.Y.Z`
-3. draft `releases/vX.Y.Z.md`
-4. publish one or more canaries from that release branch
-5. publish stable from that same branch
-6. push tag + create GitHub Release
-7. merge the release branch back to `master`
-
-That is workable, but it creates friction in exactly the places that should be cheap:
-
-- deciding `patch` vs `minor` vs `major`
-- cutting and carrying release branches
-- manually publishing canaries
-- thinking about changelog generation for canaries
-- handling npm credentials safely in a public repo
-
-The target state from this discussion is simpler:
-
-- every push to `master` publishes a canary automatically
-- stable releases are promoted deliberately from a vetted commit
-- versioning is date-driven instead of semantics-driven
-- stable publishing is secure even in a public open-source repository
-- changelog generation happens only for real stable releases
-
-## Recommendation In One Sentence
-
-Move Paperclip to semver-compatible calendar versioning, auto-publish canaries from `master`, promote stable from a chosen tested commit, and use npm trusted publishing plus GitHub environments so no long-lived npm or LLM token needs to live in Actions.
-
-## Core Decisions
-
-### 1. Use calendar versions, but keep semver syntax
-
-The repo and npm tooling still assume semver-shaped version strings in many places. That does not mean Paperclip must keep semver as a product policy. It does mean the version format should remain semver-valid.
-
-Recommended format:
-
-- stable: `YYYY.MDD.P`
-- canary: `YYYY.MDD.P-canary.N`
-
-Examples:
-
-- first stable on March 17, 2026: `2026.317.0`
-- third canary on the `2026.317.0` line: `2026.317.0-canary.2`
-
-Why this shape:
-
-- it removes `patch/minor/major` decisions
-- it is valid semver syntax
-- it stays compatible with npm, dist-tags, and existing semver validators
-- it is close to the format you actually want
-
-Important constraints:
-
-- the middle numeric slot should be `MDD`, where `M` is the month and `DD` is the zero-padded day
-- `2026.03.17` is not the format to use
-  - numeric semver identifiers do not allow leading zeroes
-- `2026.3.17.1` is not the format to use
-  - semver has three numeric components, not four
-- the practical semver-safe equivalent is `2026.317.0-canary.8`
-
-This is effectively CalVer on semver rails.
-
-### 2. Accept that CalVer changes the compatibility contract
-
-This is not semver in spirit anymore. It is semver in syntax only.
-
-That tradeoff is probably acceptable for Paperclip, but it should be explicit:
-
-- consumers no longer infer compatibility from `major/minor/patch`
-- release notes become the compatibility signal
-- downstream users should prefer exact pins or deliberate upgrades
-
-This is especially relevant for public library packages like `@paperclipai/shared`, `@paperclipai/db`, and the adapter packages.
-
-### 3. Drop release branches for normal publishing
-
-If every merge to `master` publishes a canary, the current `release/X.Y.Z` train model becomes more ceremony than value.
-
-Recommended replacement:
-
-- `master` is the only canary train
-- every push to `master` can publish a canary
-- stable is published from a chosen commit or canary tag on `master`
-
-This matches the workflow you actually want:
-
-- merge continuously
-- let npm always have a fresh canary
-- choose a known-good canary later and promote that commit to stable
-
-### 4. Promote by source ref, not by "renaming" a canary
-
-This is the most important mechanical constraint.
-
-npm can move dist-tags, but it does not let you rename an already-published version. That means:
-
-- you can move `latest` to `paperclipai@1.2.3`
-- you cannot turn `paperclipai@2026.317.0-canary.8` into `paperclipai@2026.317.0`
-
-So "promote canary to stable" really means:
-
-1. choose the commit or canary tag you trust
-2. rebuild from that exact commit
-3. publish it again with the stable version string
-
-Because of that, the stable workflow should take a source ref, not just a bump type.
-
-Recommended stable input:
-
-- `source_ref`
-  - commit SHA, or
-  - a canary git tag such as `canary/v2026.317.1-canary.8`
-
-### 5. Only stable releases get release notes, tags, and GitHub Releases
-
-Canaries should stay lightweight:
-
-- publish to npm under `canary`
-- optionally create a lightweight or annotated git tag
-- do not create GitHub Releases
-- do not require `releases/v*.md`
-- do not spend LLM tokens
-
-Stable releases should remain the public narrative surface:
-
-- git tag `v2026.317.0`
-- GitHub Release `v2026.317.0`
-- stable changelog file `releases/v2026.317.0.md`
-
-## Security Model
-
-### Recommendation
-
-Use npm trusted publishing with GitHub Actions OIDC, then disable token-based publishing access for the packages.
-
-Why:
-
-- no long-lived `NPM_TOKEN` in repo or org secrets
-- no personal npm token in Actions
-- short-lived credentials minted only for the authorized workflow
-- automatic npm provenance for public packages in public repos
-
-This is the cleanest answer to the open-repo security concern.
-
-### Concrete controls
-
-#### 1. Use one release workflow file
-
-Use one workflow filename for both canary and stable publishing:
-
-- `.github/workflows/release.yml`
-
-Why:
-
-- npm trusted publishing is configured per workflow filename
-- npm currently allows one trusted publisher configuration per package
-- GitHub environments can still provide separate canary/stable approval rules inside the same workflow
-
-#### 2. Use separate GitHub environments
-
-Recommended environments:
-
-- `npm-canary`
-- `npm-stable`
-
-Recommended policy:
-
-- `npm-canary`
-  - allowed branch: `master`
-  - no human reviewer required
-- `npm-stable`
-  - allowed branch: `master`
-  - required reviewer enabled
-  - prevent self-review enabled
-  - admin bypass disabled
-
-Stable should require an explicit second human gate even if the workflow is manually dispatched.
-
-#### 3. Lock down workflow edits
-
-Add or tighten `CODEOWNERS` coverage for:
-
-- `.github/workflows/*`
-- `scripts/release*`
-- `doc/RELEASING.md`
-
-This matters because trusted publishing authorizes a workflow file. The biggest remaining risk is not secret exfiltration from forks. It is a maintainer-approved change to the release workflow itself.
-
-#### 4. Remove traditional npm token access after OIDC works
-
-After trusted publishing is verified:
-
-- set package publishing access to require 2FA and disallow tokens
-- revoke any legacy automation tokens
-
-That eliminates the "someone stole the npm token" class of failure.
-
-### What not to do
-
-- do not put your personal Claude or npm token in GitHub Actions
-- do not run release logic from `pull_request_target`
-- do not make stable publishing depend on a repo secret if OIDC can handle it
-- do not create canary GitHub Releases
-
-## Changelog Strategy
-
-### Recommendation
-
-Generate stable changelogs only, and keep LLM-assisted changelog generation out of CI for now.
-
-Reasoning:
-
-- canaries happen too often
-- canaries do not need polished public notes
-- putting a personal Claude token into Actions is not worth the risk
-- stable release cadence is low enough that a human-in-the-loop step is acceptable
-
-Recommended stable path:
-
-1. pick a canary commit or tag
-2. run changelog generation locally from a trusted machine
-3. commit `releases/vYYYY.MDD.P.md`
-4. run stable promotion
-
-If the notes are not ready yet, a fallback is acceptable:
-
-- publish stable
-- create a minimal GitHub Release
-- update `releases/vYYYY.MDD.P.md` immediately afterward
-
-But the better steady-state is to have the stable notes committed before stable publish.
-
-### Future option
-
-If you later want CI-assisted changelog drafting, do it with:
-
-- a dedicated service account
-- a token scoped only for changelog generation
-- a manual workflow
-- a dedicated environment with required reviewers
-
-That is phase-two hardening work, not a phase-one requirement.
-
-## Proposed Future Workflow
-
-### Canary workflow
-
-Trigger:
-
-- `push` on `master`
-
-Steps:
-
-1. checkout the merged `master` commit
-2. run verification on that exact commit
-3. compute canary version for current UTC date
-4. version public packages to `YYYY.MDD.P-canary.N`
-5. publish to npm with dist-tag `canary`
-6. create a canary git tag for traceability
-
-Recommended canary tag format:
-
-- `canary/v2026.317.1-canary.4`
-
-Outputs:
-
-- npm canary published
-- git tag created
-- no GitHub Release
-- no changelog file required
-
-### Stable workflow
-
-Trigger:
-
-- `workflow_dispatch`
-
-Inputs:
-
-- `source_ref`
-- optional `stable_date`
-- `dry_run`
-
-Steps:
-
-1. checkout `source_ref`
-2. run verification on that exact commit
-3. compute the next stable patch slot for the UTC date or provided override
-4. fail if `vYYYY.MDD.P` already exists
-5. require `releases/vYYYY.MDD.P.md`
-6. version public packages to `YYYY.MDD.P`
-7. publish to npm under `latest`
-8. create git tag `vYYYY.MDD.P`
-9. push tag
-10. create GitHub Release from `releases/vYYYY.MDD.P.md`
-
-Outputs:
-
-- stable npm release
-- stable git tag
-- GitHub Release
-- clean public changelog surface
-
-## Implementation Guidance
-
-### 1. Replace bump-type version math with explicit version computation
-
-The current release scripts depend on:
-
-- `patch`
-- `minor`
-- `major`
-
-That logic should be replaced with:
-
-- `compute_canary_version_for_date`
-- `compute_stable_version_for_date`
-
-For example:
-
-- `next_stable_version(2026-03-17) -> 2026.317.0`
-- `next_canary_for_utc_date(2026-03-17) -> 2026.317.0-canary.0`
-
-### 2. Stop requiring `release/X.Y.Z`
-
-These current invariants should be removed from the happy path:
-
-- "must run from branch `release/X.Y.Z`"
-- "stable and canary for `X.Y.Z` come from the same release branch"
-- `release-start.sh`
-
-Replace them with:
-
-- canary must run from `master`
-- stable may run from a pinned `source_ref`
-
-### 3. Keep Changesets only if it stays helpful
-
-The current system uses Changesets to:
-
-- rewrite package versions
-- maintain package-level `CHANGELOG.md` files
-- publish packages
-
-With CalVer, Changesets may still be useful for publish orchestration, but it should no longer own version selection.
-
-Recommended implementation order:
-
-1. keep `changeset publish` if it works with explicitly-set versions
-2. replace version computation with a small explicit versioning script
-3. if Changesets keeps fighting the model, remove it from release publishing entirely
-
-Paperclip's release problem is now "publish the whole fixed package set at one explicit version", not "derive the next semantic bump from human intent".
-
-### 4. Add a dedicated versioning script
-
-Recommended new script:
-
-- `scripts/set-release-version.mjs`
-
-Responsibilities:
-
-- set the version in all public publishable packages
-- update any internal exact-version references needed for publishing
-- update CLI version strings
-- avoid broad string replacement across unrelated files
-
-This is safer than keeping a bump-oriented changeset flow and then forcing it into a date-based scheme.
-
-### 5. Keep rollback based on dist-tags
-
-`rollback-latest.sh` should stay, but it should stop assuming a semver meaning beyond syntax.
-
-It should continue to:
-
-- repoint `latest` to a prior stable version
-- never unpublish
-
-## Tradeoffs and Risks
-
-### 1. The stable patch slot is now part of the version contract
-
-With `YYYY.MDD.P`, same-day hotfixes are supported, but the stable patch slot is now part of the visible version format.
-
-That is the right tradeoff because:
-
-1. npm still gets semver-valid versions
-2. same-day hotfixes stay possible
-3. chronological ordering still works as long as the day is zero-padded inside `MDD`
-
-### 2. Public package consumers lose semver intent signaling
-
-This is the main downside of CalVer.
-
-If that becomes a problem, one alternative is:
-
-- use CalVer for the CLI package only
-- keep semver for library packages
-
-That is more complex operationally, so I would not start there unless package consumers actually need it.
-
-### 3. Auto-canary means more publish traffic
-
-Publishing on every `master` merge means:
-
-- more npm versions
-- more git tags
-- more registry noise
-
-That is acceptable if canaries stay clearly separate:
-
-- npm dist-tag `canary`
-- no GitHub Release
-- no external announcement
-
-## Rollout Plan
-
-### Phase 1: Security foundation
-
-1. Create `release.yml`
-2. Configure npm trusted publishers for all public packages
-3. Create `npm-canary` and `npm-stable` environments
-4. Add `CODEOWNERS` protection for release files
-5. Verify OIDC publishing works
-6. Disable token-based publishing access and revoke old tokens
-
-### Phase 2: Canary automation
-
-1. Add canary workflow on `push` to `master`
-2. Add explicit calendar-version computation
-3. Add canary git tagging
-4. Remove changelog requirement from canaries
-5. Update `doc/RELEASING.md`
-
-### Phase 3: Stable promotion
-
-1. Add manual stable workflow with `source_ref`
-2. Require stable notes file
-3. Publish stable + tag + GitHub Release
-4. Update rollback docs and scripts
-5. Retire release-branch assumptions
-
-### Phase 4: Cleanup
-
-1. Remove `release-start.sh` from the primary path
-2. Remove `patch/minor/major` from maintainer docs
-3. Decide whether to keep or remove Changesets from publishing
-4. Document the CalVer compatibility contract publicly
-
-## Concrete Recommendation
-
-Paperclip should adopt this model:
-
-- stable versions: `YYYY.MDD.P`
-- canary versions: `YYYY.MDD.P-canary.N`
-- canaries auto-published on every push to `master`
-- stables manually promoted from a chosen tested commit or canary tag
-- no release branches in the default path
-- no canary changelog files
-- no canary GitHub Releases
-- no Claude token in GitHub Actions
-- no npm automation token in GitHub Actions
-- npm trusted publishing plus GitHub environments for release security
-
-That gets rid of the annoying part of semver without fighting npm, makes canaries cheap, keeps stables deliberate, and materially improves the security posture of the public repository.

-# Workspace Technical Implementation Spec
-
-## Role of This Document
-
-This document translates [workspace-product-model-and-work-product.md](/Users/dotta/paperclip-subissues/doc/plans/workspace-product-model-and-work-product.md) into an implementation-ready engineering plan.
-
-It is intentionally concrete:
-
-- schema and migration shape
-- shared contract updates
-- route and service changes
-- UI changes
-- rollout and compatibility rules
-
-This is the implementation target for the first workspace-aware delivery slice.
-
-## Locked Decisions
-
-These decisions are treated as settled for this implementation:
-
-1. Add a new durable `execution_workspaces` table now.
-2. Each issue has at most one current execution workspace at a time.
-3. `issues` get explicit `project_workspace_id` and `execution_workspace_id`.
-4. Workspace reuse is in scope for V1.
-5. The feature is gated in the UI by `/instance/settings > Experimental > Workspaces`.
-6. The gate is UI-only. Backend model changes and migrations always ship.
-7. Existing users upgrade into compatibility-preserving defaults.
-8. `project_workspaces` evolves in place rather than being replaced.
-9. Work product is issue-first, with optional links to execution workspaces and runtime services.
-10. GitHub is the only PR provider in the first slice.
-11. Both `adapter_managed` and `cloud_sandbox` execution modes are in scope.
-12. Workspace controls ship first inside existing project properties, not in a new global navigation area.
-13. Subissues are out of scope for this implementation slice.
-
-## Non-Goals
-
-- Building a full code review system
-- Solving subissue UX in this slice
-- Implementing reusable shared workspace definitions across projects in this slice
-- Reworking all current runtime service behavior before introducing execution workspaces
-
-## Existing Baseline
-
-The repo already has:
-
-- `project_workspaces`
-- `projects.execution_workspace_policy`
-- `issues.execution_workspace_settings`
-- runtime service persistence in `workspace_runtime_services`
-- local git-worktree realization in `workspace-runtime.ts`
-
-This implementation should build on that baseline rather than fork it.
-
-## Terminology
-
-- `Project workspace`: durable configured codebase/root for a project
-- `Execution workspace`: actual runtime workspace used for one or more issues
-- `Work product`: user-facing output such as PR, preview, branch, commit, artifact, document
-- `Runtime service`: process or service owned or tracked for a workspace
-- `Compatibility mode`: existing behavior preserved for upgraded installs with no explicit workspace opt-in
-
-## Architecture Summary
-
-The first slice should introduce three explicit layers:
-
-1. `Project workspace`
-   - existing durable project-scoped codebase record
-   - extended to support local, git, non-git, and remote-managed shapes
-
-2. `Execution workspace`
-   - new durable runtime record
-   - represents shared, isolated, operator-branch, or remote-managed execution context
-
-3. `Issue work product`
-   - new durable output record
-   - stores PRs, previews, branches, commits, artifacts, and documents
-
-The issue remains the planning and ownership unit.
-The execution workspace remains the runtime unit.
-The work product remains the deliverable/output unit.
-
-## Configuration and Deployment Topology
-
-## Important correction
-
-This repo already uses `PAPERCLIP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE` for auth/deployment behavior (`local_trusted | authenticated`).
-
-Do not overload that variable for workspace execution topology.
-
-## New env var
-
-Add a separate execution-host hint:
-
-- `PAPERCLIP_EXECUTION_TOPOLOGY=local|cloud|hybrid`
-
-Default:
-
-- if unset, treat as `local`
-
-Purpose:
-
-- influences defaults and validation for workspace configuration
-- does not change current auth/deployment semantics
-- does not break existing installs
-
-### Semantics
-
-- `local`
-  - Paperclip may create host-local worktrees, processes, and paths
-- `cloud`
-  - Paperclip should assume no durable host-local execution workspace management
-  - adapter-managed and cloud-sandbox flows should be treated as first-class
-- `hybrid`
-  - both local and remote execution strategies may exist
-
-This is a guardrail and defaulting aid, not a hard policy engine in the first slice.
-
-## Instance Settings
-
-Add a new `Experimental` section under `/instance/settings`.
-
-### New setting
-
-- `experimental.workspaces: boolean`
-
-Rules:
-
-- default `false`
-- UI-only gate
-- stored in instance config or instance settings API response
-- backend routes and migrations remain available even when false
-
-### UI behavior when off
-
-- hide workspace-specific issue controls
-- hide workspace-specific project configuration
-- hide issue `Work Product` tab if it would otherwise be empty
-- do not remove or invalidate any stored workspace data
-
-## Data Model
-
-## 1. Extend `project_workspaces`
-
-Current table exists and should evolve in place.
-
-### New columns
-
-- `source_type text not null default 'local_path'`

-- `remote_provider text null`
-  - examples: `github`, `openai`, `anthropic`, `custom`
-- `remote_workspace_ref text null`
-- `shared_workspace_key text null`
-  - reserved for future cross-project shared workspace definitions
-
-### Backfill rules
-
-- if existing row has `repo_url`, backfill `source_type='git_repo'`
-- else if existing row has `cwd`, backfill `source_type='local_path'`
-- else backfill `source_type='remote_managed'`
-- copy existing `repo_ref` into `default_ref`
-
-### Indexes
-
-- retain current indexes
-- add `(project_id, source_type)`

-### Invariants
-

-- if `execution_workspace_id` is set, it must belong to the issue's company
-- if `execution_workspace_id` is set, the referenced workspace's `project_id` must match the issue's `project_id`

-
-## 5. Extend `workspace_runtime_services`
-
-This table already exists and should remain the system of record for owned/tracked services.
-
-### New column
-
-- `execution_workspace_id uuid null`
-
-### Foreign key
-
-- `execution_workspace_id -> execution_workspaces.id on delete set null`
-
-### Behavior
-
-- runtime services remain workspace-first
-- issue UIs should surface them through linked execution workspaces and work products
-
-## Shared Contracts
-
-## 1. `packages/shared`
-
-### Update project workspace types and validators
-
-Add fields:
-
-- `sourceType`
-- `defaultRef`
-- `visibility`
-- `setupCommand`
-- `cleanupCommand`
-- `remoteProvider`
-- `remoteWorkspaceRef`
-- `sharedWorkspaceKey`
-
-### Add execution workspace types and validators
-
-New shared types:
-
-- `ExecutionWorkspace`
-- `ExecutionWorkspaceMode`
-- `ExecutionWorkspaceStatus`
-- `ExecutionWorkspaceProviderType`
-
-### Add work product types and validators
-
-New shared types:
-
-- `IssueWorkProduct`
-- `IssueWorkProductType`
-- `IssueWorkProductStatus`
-- `IssueWorkProductReviewState`
-
-### Update issue types and validators
-
-Add:
-
-- `projectWorkspaceId`
-- `executionWorkspaceId`
-- `executionWorkspacePreference`
-- `workProducts?: IssueWorkProduct[]`
-
-### Extend project execution policy contract
-
-Replace the current narrow policy with a more explicit shape:
-
-- `enabled`
-- `defaultMode`
-  - `shared_workspace | isolated_workspace | operator_branch | adapter_default`
-- `allowIssueOverride`
-- `defaultProjectWorkspaceId`
-- `workspaceStrategy`
-- `branchPolicy`
-- `pullRequestPolicy`
-- `runtimePolicy`
-- `cleanupPolicy`
-
-Do not try to encode every possible provider-specific field in V1. Keep provider-specific extensibility in nested JSON where needed.
-
-## Service Layer Changes
-
-## 1. Project service
-
-Update project workspace CRUD to handle the extended schema.
-
-### Required rules
-
-- when setting a primary workspace, clear `is_primary` on siblings
-- `source_type=remote_managed` may have null `cwd`
-- local/git-backed workspaces should still require one of `cwd` or `repo_url`
-- preserve current behavior for existing callers that only send `cwd/repoUrl/repoRef`
-
-## 2. Issue service
-
-Update create/update flows to handle explicit workspace binding.
-
-### Create behavior
-
-Resolve defaults in this order:
-
-1. explicit `projectWorkspaceId` from request
-2. `project.executionWorkspacePolicy.defaultProjectWorkspaceId`
-3. project's primary workspace
-4. null
-
-Resolve `executionWorkspacePreference`:
-
-1. explicit request field
-2. project policy default
-3. compatibility fallback to `inherit`
-
-Do not create an execution workspace at issue creation time unless:
-
-- `reuse_existing` is explicitly chosen and `executionWorkspaceId` is provided
-
-Otherwise, workspace realization happens when execution starts.
-
-### Update behavior
-
-- allow changing `projectWorkspaceId` only if the workspace belongs to the same project
-- allow setting `executionWorkspaceId` only if it belongs to the same company and project
-- do not automatically destroy or relink historical work products when workspace linkage changes
-
-## 3. Workspace realization service
-
-Refactor `workspace-runtime.ts` so realization produces or reuses an `execution_workspaces` row.
-
-### New flow
-
-Input:
-
-- issue
-- project workspace
-- project execution policy
-- execution topology hint
-- adapter/runtime configuration
-
-Output:
-
-- realized execution workspace record
-- runtime cwd/provider metadata
-
-### Required modes
-
-- `shared_workspace`
-  - reuse a stable execution workspace representing the project primary/shared workspace
-- `isolated_workspace`
-  - create or reuse a derived isolated execution workspace
-- `operator_branch`
-  - create or reuse a long-lived branch workspace
-- `adapter_managed`
-  - create an execution workspace with provider references and optional null `cwd`
-- `cloud_sandbox`
-  - same as adapter-managed, but explicit remote sandbox semantics
-
-### Reuse rules
-
-When `reuse_existing` is requested:
-
-- only list active or recently used execution workspaces
-- only for the same project
-- only for the same project workspace if one is specified
-- exclude archived and cleanup-failed workspaces
-
-### Shared workspace realization
-
-For compatibility mode and shared-workspace projects:
-
-- create a stable execution workspace per project workspace when first needed
-- reuse it for subsequent runs
-
-This avoids a special-case branch in later work product linkage.
-
-## 4. Runtime service integration
-
-When runtime services are started or reused:
-
-- populate `execution_workspace_id`
-- continue populating `project_workspace_id`, `project_id`, and `issue_id`
-
-When a runtime service yields a URL:
-
-- optionally create or update a linked `issue_work_products` row of type `runtime_service` or `preview_url`
-
-## 5. PR and preview reporting
-
-Add a service for creating/updating `issue_work_products`.
-
-### Supported V1 product types
-
-- `pull_request`
-- `preview_url`
-- `runtime_service`
-- `branch`
-- `commit`
-- `artifact`
-- `document`
-
-### GitHub PR reporting
-
-For V1, GitHub is the only provider with richer semantics.
-
-Supported statuses:
-
-- `draft`
-- `ready_for_review`
-- `approved`
-- `changes_requested`
-- `merged`
-- `closed`
-
-Represent these in `status` and `review_state` rather than inventing a separate PR table in V1.
-
-## Routes and API
-
-## 1. Project workspace routes
-
-Extend existing routes:
-
-- `GET /projects/:id/workspaces`
-- `POST /projects/:id/workspaces`
-- `PATCH /projects/:id/workspaces/:workspaceId`
-- `DELETE /projects/:id/workspaces/:workspaceId`
-
-### New accepted/returned fields
-
-- `sourceType`
-- `defaultRef`
-- `visibility`
-- `setupCommand`
-- `cleanupCommand`
-- `remoteProvider`
-- `remoteWorkspaceRef`
-
-## 2. Execution workspace routes
-
-Add:
-
-- `GET /companies/:companyId/execution-workspaces`
-  - filters:
-    - `projectId`
-    - `projectWorkspaceId`
-    - `status`
-    - `issueId`
-    - `reuseEligible=true`
-- `GET /execution-workspaces/:id`
-- `PATCH /execution-workspaces/:id`
-  - update status/metadata/cleanup fields only in V1
-
-Do not add top-level navigation for these routes yet.
-
-## 3. Work product routes
-
-Add:
-
-- `GET /issues/:id/work-products`
-- `POST /issues/:id/work-products`
-- `PATCH /work-products/:id`
-- `DELETE /work-products/:id`
-
-### V1 mutation permissions
-
-- board can create/update/delete all
-- agents can create/update for issues they are assigned or currently executing
-- deletion should generally archive rather than hard-delete once linked to historical output
-
-## 4. Issue routes
-
-Extend existing create/update payloads to accept:
-
-- `projectWorkspaceId`
-- `executionWorkspacePreference`
-- `executionWorkspaceId`
-
-Extend `GET /issues/:id` to return:
-
-- `projectWorkspaceId`
-- `executionWorkspaceId`
-- `executionWorkspacePreference`
-- `currentExecutionWorkspace`
-- `workProducts[]`
-
-## 5. Instance settings routes
-
-Add support for:
-
-- reading/writing `experimental.workspaces`
-
-This is a UI gate only.
-
-If there is no generic instance settings storage yet, the first slice can store this in the existing config/instance settings mechanism used by `/instance/settings`.
-
-## UI Changes
-
-## 1. `/instance/settings`
-
-Add section:
-
-- `Experimental`
-  - `Enable Workspaces`
-
-When off:
-
-- hide new workspace-specific affordances
-- do not alter existing project or issue behavior
-
-## 2. Project properties
-
-Do not create a separate `Code` tab yet.
-Ship inside existing project properties first.
-
-### Add or re-enable sections
-
-- `Project Workspaces`
-- `Execution Defaults`
-- `Provisioning`
-- `Pull Requests`
-- `Previews and Runtime`
-- `Cleanup`
-
-### Display rules
-
-- only show when `experimental.workspaces=true`
-- keep wording generic enough for local and remote setups
-- only show git-specific fields when `sourceType=git_repo`
-- only show local-path-specific fields when not `remote_managed`
-
-## 3. Issue create dialog
-
-When the workspace experimental flag is on and the selected project has workspace automation or workspaces:
-
-### Basic fields
-
-- `Codebase`
-  - select from project workspaces
-  - default to policy default or primary workspace
-- `Execution mode`
-  - `Project default`
-  - `Shared workspace`
-  - `Isolated workspace`
-  - `Operator branch`
-
-### Advanced section
-
-- `Reuse existing execution workspace`
-
-This control should query only:
-
-- same project
-- same codebase if selected
-- active/recent workspaces
-- compact labels with branch or workspace name
-
-Do not expose all execution workspaces in a noisy unfiltered list.
-
-## 4. Issue detail
-
-Add a `Work Product` tab when:
-
-- the experimental flag is on, or
-- the issue already has work products
-
-### Show
-
-- current execution workspace summary
-- PR cards
-- preview cards
-- branch/commit rows
-- artifacts/documents
-
-Add compact header chips:
-
-- codebase
-- workspace
-- PR count/status
-- preview status
-
-## 5. Execution workspace detail page
-
-Add a detail route but no nav item.
-
-Linked from:
-
-- issue work product tab
-- project workspace/execution panels
-
-### Show
-
-- identity and status
-- project workspace origin
-- source issue
-- linked issues
-- branch/ref/provider info
-- runtime services
-- work products
-- cleanup state
-
-## Runtime and Adapter Behavior
-
-## 1. Local adapters
-
-For local adapters:
-
-- continue to use existing cwd/worktree realization paths
-- persist the result as execution workspaces
-- attach runtime services and work product to the execution workspace and issue
-
-## 2. Remote or cloud adapters
-
-For remote adapters:
-
-- allow execution workspaces with null `cwd`
-- require provider metadata sufficient to identify the remote workspace/session
-- allow work product creation without any host-local process ownership
-
-Examples:
-
-- cloud coding agent opens a branch and PR on GitHub
-- Vercel preview URL is reported back as a preview work product
-- remote sandbox emits artifact URLs
-
-## 3. Approval-aware PR workflow
-
-V1 should support richer PR state tracking, but not a full review engine.
-
-### Required actions
-
-- `open_pr`
-- `mark_ready`
-
-### Required review states
-
-- `draft`
-- `ready_for_review`
-- `approved`
-- `changes_requested`
-- `merged`
-- `closed`
-
-### Storage approach
-
-- represent these as `issue_work_products` with `type='pull_request'`
-- use `status` and `review_state`
-- store provider-specific details in `metadata`
-
-## Migration Plan
-
-## 1. Existing installs
-
-The migration posture is backward-compatible by default.
-
-### Guarantees
-
-- no existing project must be edited before it keeps working
-- no existing issue flow should start requiring workspace input
-- all new nullable columns must preserve current behavior when absent
-
-## 2. Project workspace migration
-
-Migrate `project_workspaces` in place.
-
-### Backfill
-
-- derive `source_type`
-- copy `repo_ref` to `default_ref`
-- leave new optional fields null
-
-## 3. Issue migration
-
-Do not backfill `project_workspace_id` or `execution_workspace_id` on all existing issues.
-
-Reason:
-
-- the safest migration is to preserve current runtime behavior and bind explicitly only when new workspace-aware flows are used
-
-Interpret old issues as:
-
-- `executionWorkspacePreference = inherit`
-- compatibility/shared behavior
-
-## 4. Runtime history migration
-
-Do not attempt a perfect historical reconstruction of execution workspaces in the migration itself.
-
-Instead:
-
-- create execution workspace records forward from first new run
-- optionally add a later backfill tool for recent runtime services if it proves valuable
-
-## Rollout Order
-
-## Phase 1: Schema and shared contracts
-
-1. extend `project_workspaces`
-2. add `execution_workspaces`
-3. add `issue_work_products`
-4. extend `issues`
-5. extend `workspace_runtime_services`
-6. update shared types and validators
-
-## Phase 2: Service wiring
-
-1. update project workspace CRUD
-2. update issue create/update resolution
-3. refactor workspace realization to persist execution workspaces
-4. attach runtime services to execution workspaces
-5. add work product service and persistence
-
-## Phase 3: API and UI
-
-1. add execution workspace routes
-2. add work product routes
-3. add instance experimental settings toggle
-4. re-enable and revise project workspace UI behind the flag
-5. add issue create/update controls behind the flag
-6. add issue work product tab
-7. add execution workspace detail page
-
-## Phase 4: Provider integrations
-
-1. GitHub PR reporting
-2. preview URL reporting
-3. runtime-service-to-work-product linking
-4. remote/cloud provider references
-
-## Acceptance Criteria
-
-1. Existing installs continue to behave predictably with no required reconfiguration.
-2. Projects can define local, git, non-git, and remote-managed project workspaces.
-3. Issues can explicitly select a project workspace and execution preference.
-4. Each issue can point to one current execution workspace.
-5. Multiple issues can intentionally reuse the same execution workspace.
-6. Execution workspaces are persisted for both local and remote execution flows.
-7. Work products can be attached to issues with optional execution workspace linkage.
-8. GitHub PRs can be represented with richer lifecycle states.
-9. The main UI remains simple when the experimental flag is off.
-10. No top-level workspace navigation is required for this first slice.
-
-## Risks and Mitigations
-
-## Risk: too many overlapping workspace concepts
-
-Mitigation:
-
-- keep issue UI to `Codebase` and `Execution mode`
-- reserve execution workspace details for advanced pages
-
-## Risk: breaking current projects on upgrade
-
-Mitigation:
-
-- nullable schema additions
-- in-place `project_workspaces` migration
-- compatibility defaults
-
-## Risk: local-only assumptions leaking into cloud mode
-
-Mitigation:
-
-- make `cwd` optional for execution workspaces
-- use `provider_type` and `provider_ref`
-- use `PAPERCLIP_EXECUTION_TOPOLOGY` as a defaulting guardrail
-
-## Risk: turning PRs into a bespoke subsystem too early
-
-Mitigation:
-
-- represent PRs as work products in V1
-- keep provider-specific details in metadata
-- defer a dedicated PR table unless usage proves it necessary
-
-## Recommended First Engineering Slice
-
-If we want the narrowest useful implementation:
-
-1. extend `project_workspaces`
-2. add `execution_workspaces`
-3. extend `issues` with explicit workspace fields
-4. persist execution workspaces from existing local workspace realization
-5. add `issue_work_products`
-6. show project workspace controls and issue workspace controls behind the experimental flag
-7. add issue `Work Product` tab with PR/preview/runtime service display
-
-This slice is enough to validate the model without yet building every provider integration or cleanup workflow.

-
-If `instructionsFilePath` is configured, Paperclip reads that file and prepends it to the stdin prompt sent to `codex exec` on every run.
-
-This is separate from any workspace-level instruction discovery that Codex itself performs in the run `cwd`. Paperclip does not disable Codex-native repo instruction files, so a repo-local `AGENTS.md` may still be loaded by Codex in addition to the Paperclip-managed agent instructions.

-
-Signing modes: `bearer` (default), `hmac_sha256`. Replay window range: 30–86400 seconds (default 300).
-
-**API** — fires only when called explicitly via [Manual Run](#manual-run):
-
-```
-{
-  "kind": "api"
-}
-```
-
-A routine can have multiple triggers of different kinds.
-
-## Update Trigger
-
-```

-{
-  "enabled": false,
-  "cronExpression": "0 10 * * 1"
-}
-```

-
-```
-POST /api/routine-triggers/{triggerId}/rotate-secret
-```
-
-Generates a new signing secret for webhook triggers. The previous secret is immediately invalidated.
-
-## Manual Run

-{
-  "source": "manual",
-  "triggerId": "{triggerId}",
-  "payload": { "context": "..." },
-  "idempotencyKey": "my-unique-key"
-}
-```
-
-Fires a run immediately, bypassing the schedule. Concurrency policy still applies.
-
-`triggerId` is optional. When supplied, the server validates the trigger belongs to this routine (`403`) and is enabled (`409`), then records the run against that trigger and updates its `lastFiredAt`. Omit it for a generic manual run with no trigger attribution.
-
-## Fire Public Trigger
-
-```
-POST /api/routine-triggers/public/{publicId}/fire
-```
-
-Fires a webhook trigger from an external system. Requires a valid `Authorization` or `X-Paperclip-Signature` + `X-Paperclip-Timestamp` header pair matching the trigger's signing mode.
-
-## List Runs
-
-```
-GET /api/routines/{routineId}/runs?limit=50
-```
-
-Returns recent run history for the routine. Defaults to 50 most recent runs.
-
-## Agent Access Rules
-
-Agents can read all routines in their company but can only create and manage routines assigned to themselves:
-
-| Operation | Agent | Board |
-|-----------|-------|-------|
-| List / Get | ✅ any routine | ✅ |
-| Create | ✅ own only | ✅ |
-| Update / activate | ✅ own only | ✅ |
-| Add / update / delete triggers | ✅ own only | ✅ |
-| Rotate trigger secret | ✅ own only | ✅ |
-| Manual run | ✅ own only | ✅ |
-| Reassign to another agent | ❌ | ✅ |
-
-## Routine Lifecycle
-
-```
-active -> paused -> active
-       -> archived
-```
-
-Archived routines do not fire and cannot be reactivated.

-# Agent Companies Specification
-
-Extension of the Agent Skills Specification
-
-Version: `agentcompanies/v1-draft`
-
-## 1. Purpose
-
-An Agent Company package is a filesystem- and GitHub-native format for describing a company, team, agent, project, task, and associated skills using markdown files with YAML frontmatter.
-
-This specification is an extension of the Agent Skills specification, not a replacement for it.
-
-It defines how company-, team-, and agent-level package structure composes around the existing `SKILL.md` model.
-
-This specification is vendor-neutral. It is intended to be usable by any agent-company runtime, not only Paperclip.
-
-The format is designed to:
-
-- be readable and writable by humans
-- work directly from a local folder or GitHub repository
-- require no central registry
-- support attribution and pinned references to upstream files
-- extend the existing Agent Skills ecosystem without redefining it
-- be useful outside Paperclip
-
-## 2. Core Principles
-
-1. Markdown is canonical.
-2. Git repositories are valid package containers.
-3. Registries are optional discovery layers, not authorities.
-4. `SKILL.md` remains owned by the Agent Skills specification.
-5. External references must be pinnable to immutable Git commits.
-6. Attribution and license metadata must survive import/export.
-7. Slugs and relative paths are the portable identity layer, not database ids.
-8. Conventional folder structure should work without verbose wiring.
-9. Vendor-specific fidelity belongs in optional extensions, not the base package.
-
-## 3. Package Kinds
-
-A package root is identified by one primary markdown file:
-
-- `COMPANY.md` for a company package
-- `TEAM.md` for a team package
-- `AGENTS.md` for an agent package
-- `PROJECT.md` for a project package
-- `TASK.md` for a task package
-- `SKILL.md` for a skill package defined by the Agent Skills specification
-
-A GitHub repo may contain one package at root or many packages in subdirectories.
-
-## 4. Reserved Files And Directories
-
-Common conventions:
-
-```text
-COMPANY.md
-TEAM.md
-AGENTS.md
-PROJECT.md
-TASK.md
-SKILL.md
-
-agents/<slug>/AGENTS.md
-teams/<slug>/TEAM.md
-projects/<slug>/PROJECT.md
-projects/<slug>/tasks/<slug>/TASK.md
-tasks/<slug>/TASK.md
-skills/<slug>/SKILL.md
-.paperclip.yaml
-
-HEARTBEAT.md
-SOUL.md
-TOOLS.md
-README.md
-assets/
-scripts/
-references/
-```
-
-Rules:
-
-- only markdown files are canonical content docs
-- non-markdown directories like `assets/`, `scripts/`, and `references/` are allowed
-- package tools may generate optional lock files, but lock files are not required for authoring
-
-## 5. Common Frontmatter
-
-Package docs may support these fields:
-
-```yaml
-schema: agentcompanies/v1
-kind: company | team | agent | project | task
-slug: my-slug
-name: Human Readable Name
-description: Short description
-version: 0.1.0
-license: MIT
-authors:
-  - name: Jane Doe
-homepage: https://example.com
-tags:
-  - startup
-  - engineering
-metadata: {}
-sources: []
-```
-
-Notes:
-
-- `schema` is optional and should usually appear only at the package root
-- `kind` is optional when file path and file name already make the kind obvious
-- `slug` should be URL-safe and stable
-- `sources` is for provenance and external references
-- `metadata` is for tool-specific extensions
-- exporters should omit empty or default-valued fields
-
-## 6. COMPANY.md
-
-`COMPANY.md` is the root entrypoint for a whole company package.
-
-### Required fields
-
-```yaml
-name: Lean Dev Shop
-description: Small engineering-focused AI company
-slug: lean-dev-shop
-schema: agentcompanies/v1
-```
-
-### Recommended fields
-
-```yaml
-version: 1.0.0
-license: MIT
-authors:
-  - name: Example Org
-goals:
-  - Build and ship software products
-includes:
-  - https://github.com/example/shared-company-parts/blob/0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567/teams/engineering/TEAM.md
-requirements:
-  secrets:
-    - OPENAI_API_KEY
-```
-
-### Semantics
-
-- `includes` defines the package graph
-- local package contents should be discovered implicitly by folder convention
-- `includes` is optional and should be used mainly for external refs or nonstandard locations
-- included items may be local or external references
-- `COMPANY.md` may include agents directly, teams, projects, tasks, or skills
-- a company importer may render `includes` as the tree/checkbox import UI
-
-## 7. TEAM.md
-
-`TEAM.md` defines an org subtree.
-
-### Example
-
-```yaml
-name: Engineering
-description: Product and platform engineering team
-schema: agentcompanies/v1
-slug: engineering
-manager: ../cto/AGENTS.md
-includes:
-  - ../platform-lead/AGENTS.md
-  - ../frontend-lead/AGENTS.md
-  - ../../skills/review/SKILL.md
-tags:
-  - team
-  - engineering
-```
-
-### Semantics
-
-- a team package is a reusable subtree, not necessarily a runtime database table
-- `manager` identifies the root agent of the subtree
-- `includes` may contain child agents, child teams, or shared skills
-- a team package can be imported into an existing company and attached under a target manager
-
-## 8. AGENTS.md
-
-`AGENTS.md` defines an agent.
-
-### Example
-
-```yaml
-name: CEO
-title: Chief Executive Officer
-reportsTo: null
-skills:
-  - plan-ceo-review
-  - review
-```
-
-### Semantics
-
-- body content is the canonical default instruction content for the agent
-- `docs` points to sibling markdown docs when present
-- `skills` references reusable `SKILL.md` packages by skill shortname or slug
-- a bare skill entry like `review` should resolve to `skills/review/SKILL.md` by convention
-- if a package references external skills, the agent should still refer to the skill by shortname; the skill package itself owns any source refs, pinning, or attribution details
-- tools may allow path or URL entries as an escape hatch, but exporters should prefer shortname-based skill references in `AGENTS.md`
-- vendor-specific adapter/runtime config should not live in the base package
-- local absolute paths, machine-specific cwd values, and secret values must not be exported as canonical package data
-
-### Skill Resolution
-
-The preferred association standard between agents and skills is by skill shortname.
-
-Suggested resolution order for an agent skill entry:
-
-1. a local package skill at `skills/<shortname>/SKILL.md`
-2. a referenced or included skill package whose declared slug or shortname matches
-3. a tool-managed company skill library entry with the same shortname
-
-Rules:
-
-- exporters should emit shortnames in `AGENTS.md` whenever possible
-- importers should not require full file paths for ordinary skill references
-- the skill package itself should carry any complexity around external refs, vendoring, mirrors, or pinned upstream content
-- this keeps `AGENTS.md` readable and consistent with `skills.sh`-style sharing
-
-## 9. PROJECT.md
-
-`PROJECT.md` defines a lightweight project package.
-
-### Example
-
-```yaml
-name: Q2 Launch
-description: Ship the Q2 launch plan and supporting assets
-owner: cto
-```
-
-### Semantics
-
-- a project package groups related starter tasks and supporting markdown
-- `owner` should reference an agent slug when there is a clear project owner
-- a conventional `tasks/` subfolder should be discovered implicitly
-- `includes` may contain `TASK.md`, `SKILL.md`, or supporting docs when explicit wiring is needed
-- project packages are intended to seed planned work, not represent runtime task state
-
-## 10. TASK.md
-
-`TASK.md` defines a lightweight starter task.
-
-### Example
-
-```yaml
-name: Monday Review
-assignee: ceo
-project: q2-launch
-recurring: true
-```
-
-### Semantics
-
-- body content is the canonical markdown task description
-- `assignee` should reference an agent slug inside the package
-- `project` should reference a project slug when the task belongs to a `PROJECT.md`
-- `recurring: true` marks the task as ongoing recurring work instead of a one-time starter task
-- tasks are intentionally basic seed work: title, markdown body, assignee, project linkage, and optional `recurring: true`
-- tools may also support optional fields like `priority`, `labels`, or `metadata`, but they should not require them in the base package
-
-### Recurring Tasks
-
-- the base package only needs to say whether a task is recurring
-- vendors may attach the actual schedule / trigger / runtime fidelity in a vendor extension such as `.paperclip.yaml`
-- this keeps `TASK.md` portable while still allowing richer runtime systems to round-trip their own automation details
-- legacy packages may still use `schedule.recurrence` during transition, but exporters should prefer `recurring: true`
-
-Example Paperclip extension:
-
-```yaml
-routines:
-  monday-review:
-    triggers:
-      - kind: schedule
-        cronExpression: "0 9 * * 1"
-        timezone: America/Chicago
-```
-
-- vendors should ignore unknown recurring-task extensions they do not understand
-- vendors importing legacy `schedule.recurrence` data may translate it into their own runtime trigger model, but new exports should prefer the simpler `recurring: true` base field
-
-## 11. SKILL.md Compatibility
-
-A skill package must remain a valid Agent Skills package.
-
-Rules:
-
-- `SKILL.md` should follow the Agent Skills spec
-- Paperclip must not require extra top-level fields for skill validity
-- Paperclip-specific extensions must live under `metadata.paperclip` or `metadata.sources`
-- a skill directory may include `scripts/`, `references/`, and `assets/` exactly as the Agent Skills ecosystem expects
-- tools implementing this spec should treat `skills.sh` compatibility as a first-class goal rather than inventing a parallel skill format
-
-In other words, this spec extends Agent Skills upward into company/team/agent composition. It does not redefine skill package semantics.
-
-### Example compatible extension
-
-```yaml
----
-name: review
-description: Paranoid code review skill
-allowed-tools:
-  - Read
-  - Grep
-metadata:
-  paperclip:
-    tags:
-      - engineering
-      - review
-  sources:
-    - kind: github-file
-      repo: vercel-labs/skills
-      path: review/SKILL.md
-      commit: 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567
-      sha256: 3b7e...9a
-      attribution: Vercel Labs
-      usage: referenced
----
-```
-
-## 12. Source References
-
-A package may point to upstream content instead of vendoring it.
-
-### Source object
-
-```yaml
-sources:
-  - kind: github-file
-    repo: owner/repo
-    path: path/to/file.md
-    commit: 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567
-    blob: abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01
-    sha256: 3b7e...9a
-    url: https://github.com/owner/repo/blob/0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567/path/to/file.md
-    rawUrl: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/owner/repo/0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567/path/to/file.md
-    attribution: Owner Name
-    license: MIT
-    usage: referenced
-```
-
-### Supported kinds
-
-- `local-file`
-- `local-dir`
-- `github-file`
-- `github-dir`
-- `url`
-
-### Usage modes
-
-- `vendored`: bytes are included in the package
-- `referenced`: package points to upstream immutable content
-- `mirrored`: bytes are cached locally but upstream attribution remains canonical
-
-### Rules
-
-- `commit` is required for `github-file` and `github-dir` in strict mode
-- `sha256` is strongly recommended and should be verified on fetch
-- branch-only refs may be allowed in development mode but must warn
-- exporters should default to `referenced` for third-party content unless redistribution is clearly allowed
-
-## 13. Resolution Rules
-
-Given a package root, an importer resolves in this order:
-
-1. local relative paths
-2. local absolute paths if explicitly allowed by the importing tool
-3. pinned GitHub refs
-4. generic URLs
-
-For pinned GitHub refs:
-
-1. resolve `repo + commit + path`
-2. fetch content
-3. verify `sha256` if present
-4. verify `blob` if present
-5. fail closed on mismatch
-
-An importer must surface:
-
-- missing files
-- hash mismatches
-- missing licenses
-- referenced upstream content that requires network fetch
-- executable content in skills or scripts
-
-## 14. Import Graph
-
-A package importer should build a graph from:
-
-- `COMPANY.md`
-- `TEAM.md`
-- `AGENTS.md`
-- `PROJECT.md`
-- `TASK.md`
-- `SKILL.md`
-- local and external refs
-
-Suggested import UI behavior:
-
-- render graph as a tree
-- checkbox at entity level, not raw file level
-- selecting an agent auto-selects required docs and referenced skills
-- selecting a team auto-selects its subtree
-- selecting a project auto-selects its included tasks
-- selecting a recurring task should make it clear that the import target is a routine / automation, not a one-time task
-- selecting referenced third-party content shows attribution, license, and fetch policy
-
-## 15. Vendor Extensions
-
-Vendor-specific data should live outside the base package shape.
-
-For Paperclip, the preferred fidelity extension is:
-
-```text
-.paperclip.yaml
-```
-
-Example uses:
-
-- adapter type and adapter config
-- adapter env inputs and defaults
-- runtime settings
-- permissions
-- budgets
-- approval policies
-- project execution workspace policies
-- issue/task Paperclip-only metadata
-
-Rules:
-
-- the base package must remain readable without the extension
-- tools that do not understand a vendor extension should ignore it
-- Paperclip tools may emit the vendor extension by default as a sidecar while keeping the base markdown clean
-
-Suggested Paperclip shape:
-
-```yaml
-schema: paperclip/v1
-agents:
-  claudecoder:

-
-Additional rules for Paperclip exporters:
-
-- do not duplicate `promptTemplate` when `AGENTS.md` already contains the agent instructions
-- do not export provider-specific secret bindings such as `secretId`, `version`, or `type: secret_ref`
-- export env inputs as portable declarations with `required` or `optional` semantics and optional defaults
-- warn on system-dependent values such as absolute commands and absolute `PATH` overrides
-- omit empty and default-valued Paperclip fields when possible
-
-## 16. Export Rules
-
-A compliant exporter should:
-
-- emit markdown roots and relative folder layout
-- omit machine-local ids and timestamps
-- omit secret values
-- omit machine-specific paths
-- preserve task descriptions and recurring-task declarations when exporting tasks
-- omit empty/default fields
-- default to the vendor-neutral base package
-- Paperclip exporters should emit `.paperclip.yaml` as a sidecar by default
-- preserve attribution and source references
-- prefer `referenced` over silent vendoring for third-party content
-- preserve `SKILL.md` as-is when exporting compatible skills
-
-## 17. Licensing And Attribution
-
-A compliant tool must:
-
-- preserve `license` and `attribution` metadata when importing and exporting
-- distinguish vendored vs referenced content
-- not silently inline referenced third-party content during export
-- surface missing license metadata as a warning
-- surface restrictive or unknown licenses before install/import if content is vendored or mirrored
-
-## 18. Optional Lock File
-
-Authoring does not require a lock file.
-
-Tools may generate an optional lock file such as:
-
-```text
-company-package.lock.json
-```
-
-Purpose:
-
-- cache resolved refs
-- record final hashes
-- support reproducible installs
-
-Rules:
-
-- lock files are optional
-- lock files are generated artifacts, not canonical authoring input
-- the markdown package remains the source of truth
-
-## 19. Paperclip Mapping
-
-Paperclip can map this spec to its runtime model like this:
-
-- base package:
-  - `COMPANY.md` -> company metadata
-  - `TEAM.md` -> importable org subtree
-  - `AGENTS.md` -> agent identity and instructions
-  - `PROJECT.md` -> starter project definition
-  - `TASK.md` -> starter issue/task definition, or recurring task template when `recurring: true`
-  - `SKILL.md` -> imported skill package
-  - `sources[]` -> provenance and pinned upstream refs
-- Paperclip extension:
-  - `.paperclip.yaml` -> adapter config, runtime config, env input declarations, permissions, budgets, routine triggers, and other Paperclip-specific fidelity
-
-Inline Paperclip-only metadata that must live inside a shared markdown file should use:
-
-- `metadata.paperclip`
-
-That keeps the base format broader than Paperclip.
-
-This specification itself remains vendor-neutral and intended for any agent-company runtime, not only Paperclip.
-
-## 20. Cutover
-
-Paperclip should cut over to this markdown-first package model as the primary portability format.
-
-`paperclip.manifest.json` does not need to be preserved as a compatibility requirement for the future package system.
-
-For Paperclip, this should be treated as a hard cutover in product direction rather than a long-lived dual-format strategy.
-
-## 21. Minimal Example

-**Recommendation**
-This is the direction I would take:
-
-- make this the human-facing spec

-- treat this spec as an extension of Agent Skills, not a parallel format
-- make `companies.sh` a discovery layer for repos implementing this spec, not a publishing authority

-title: How Delegation Works
-summary: How the CEO breaks down goals into tasks and assigns them to agents
----
-
-Delegation is one of Paperclip's most powerful features. You set company goals, and the CEO agent automatically breaks them into tasks and assigns them to the right agents. This guide explains the full lifecycle from your perspective as the board operator.
-
-## The Delegation Lifecycle
-
-When you create a company goal, the CEO doesn't just acknowledge it — it builds a plan and mobilizes the team:
-
-```
-You set a company goal
-  → CEO wakes up on heartbeat
-  → CEO proposes a strategy (creates an approval for you)
-  → You approve the strategy
-  → CEO breaks goals into tasks and assigns them to reports
-  → Reports wake up (heartbeat triggered by assignment)
-  → Reports execute work and update task status
-  → CEO monitors progress, unblocks, and escalates
-  → You see results in the dashboard and activity log
-```
-
-Each step is traceable. Every task links back to the goal through a parent hierarchy, so you can always see why work is happening.
-
-## What You Need to Do
-
-Your role is strategic oversight, not task management. Here's what the delegation model expects from you:
-
-1. **Set clear company goals.** The CEO works from these. Specific, measurable goals produce better delegation. "Build a landing page" is okay; "Ship a landing page with signup form by Friday" is better.
-
-2. **Approve the CEO's strategy.** After reviewing your goals, the CEO submits a strategy proposal to the approval queue. Review it, then approve, reject, or request revisions.
-
-3. **Approve hire requests.** When the CEO needs more capacity (e.g., a frontend engineer to build the landing page), it submits a hire request. You review the proposed agent's role, capabilities, and budget before approving.
-
-4. **Monitor progress.** Use the dashboard and activity log to track how work is flowing. Check task status, agent activity, and completion rates.
-
-5. **Intervene only when things stall.** If progress stops, check these in order:
-   - Is an approval pending in your queue?
-   - Is an agent paused or in an error state?
-   - Is the CEO's budget exhausted (above 80%, it focuses on critical tasks only)?
-
-## What the CEO Does Automatically
-
-You do **not** need to tell the CEO to engage specific agents. After you approve its strategy, the CEO:
-
-- **Breaks goals into concrete tasks** with clear descriptions, priorities, and acceptance criteria
-- **Assigns tasks to the right agent** based on role and capabilities (e.g., engineering tasks go to the CTO or engineers, marketing tasks go to the CMO)
-- **Creates subtasks** when work needs to be decomposed further
-- **Hires new agents** when the team lacks capacity for a goal (subject to your approval)
-- **Monitors progress** on each heartbeat, checking task status and unblocking reports
-- **Escalates to you** when it encounters something it can't resolve — budget issues, blocked approvals, or strategic ambiguity
-
-## Common Delegation Patterns
-
-### Flat Hierarchy (Small Teams)
-
-For small companies with 3-5 agents, the CEO delegates directly to each report:
-
-```
-CEO
- ├── CTO         (engineering tasks)
- ├── CMO         (marketing tasks)
- └── Designer    (design tasks)
-```
-
-The CEO assigns tasks directly. Each agent works independently and reports status back.
-
-### Three-Level Hierarchy (Larger Teams)
-
-For larger organizations, managers delegate further down the chain:
-
-```
-CEO
- ├── CTO
- │    ├── Backend Engineer
- │    └── Frontend Engineer
- └── CMO
-      └── Content Writer
-```
-
-The CEO assigns high-level tasks to the CTO and CMO. They break those into subtasks and assign them to their own reports. You only interact with the CEO — the rest happens automatically.
-
-### Hire-on-Demand
-
-The CEO can start as the only agent and hire as work requires:
-
-1. You set a goal that needs engineering work
-2. The CEO proposes a strategy that includes hiring a CTO
-3. You approve the hire
-4. The CEO assigns engineering tasks to the new CTO
-5. As scope grows, the CTO may request to hire engineers
-
-This pattern lets you start small and scale the team based on actual work, not upfront planning.
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### "Why isn't the CEO delegating?"
-
-If you've set a goal but nothing is happening, check these common causes:
-
-| Check | What to look for |
-|-------|-----------------|
-| **Approval queue** | The CEO may have submitted a strategy or hire request that's waiting for your approval. This is the most common reason. |
-| **Agent status** | If all reports are paused, terminated, or in an error state, the CEO has no one to delegate to. Check the Agents page. |
-| **Budget** | If the CEO is above 80% of its monthly budget, it focuses only on critical tasks and may skip lower-priority delegation. |
-| **Goals** | If no company goals are set, the CEO has nothing to work from. Create a goal first. |
-| **Heartbeat** | Is the CEO's heartbeat enabled and running? Check the agent detail page for recent heartbeat history. |
-| **Agent instructions** | The CEO's delegation behavior is driven by its `AGENTS.md` instructions file. Open the CEO agent's detail page and verify that its instructions path is set and that the file includes delegation directives (subtask creation, hiring, assignment). If AGENTS.md is missing or doesn't mention delegation, the CEO won't know to break down goals and assign work. |
-
-### "Do I have to tell the CEO to engage engineering and marketing?"
-
-**No.** The CEO will delegate automatically after you approve its strategy. It knows the org chart and assigns tasks based on each agent's role and capabilities. You set the goal and approve the plan — the CEO handles task breakdown and assignment.
-
-### "A task seems stuck"
-
-If a specific task isn't progressing:
-
-1. Check the task's comment thread — the assigned agent may have posted a blocker
-2. Check if the task is in `blocked` status — read the blocker comment to understand why
-3. Check the assigned agent's status — it may be paused or over budget
-4. If the agent is stuck, you can reassign the task or add a comment with guidance

-title: Execution Workspaces And Runtime Services
-summary: How project runtime configuration, execution workspaces, and issue runs fit together
----
-
-This guide documents the intended runtime model for projects, execution workspaces, and issue runs in Paperclip.
-
-## Project runtime configuration
-
-You can define how to run a project on the project workspace itself.
-
-- Project workspace runtime config describes how to run services for that project checkout.
-- This is the default runtime configuration that child execution workspaces may inherit.
-- Defining the config does not start anything by itself.
-
-## Manual runtime control
-
-Runtime services are manually controlled from the UI.
-
-- Project workspace runtime services are started and stopped from the project workspace UI.
-- Execution workspace runtime services are started and stopped from the execution workspace UI.
-- Paperclip does not automatically start or stop these runtime services as part of issue execution.
-- Paperclip also does not automatically restart workspace runtime services on server boot.
-
-## Execution workspace inheritance
-
-Execution workspaces isolate code and runtime state from the project primary workspace.
-
-- An isolated execution workspace has its own checkout path, branch, and local runtime instance.
-- The runtime configuration may inherit from the linked project workspace by default.
-- The execution workspace may override that runtime configuration with its own workspace-specific settings.
-- The inherited configuration answers "how to run the service", but the running process is still specific to that execution workspace.
-
-## Issues and execution workspaces
-
-Issues are attached to execution workspace behavior, not to automatic runtime management.
-
-- An issue may create a new execution workspace when you choose an isolated workspace mode.
-- An issue may reuse an existing execution workspace when you choose reuse.
-- Multiple issues may intentionally share one execution workspace so they can work against the same branch and running runtime services.
-- Assigning or running an issue does not automatically start or stop runtime services for that workspace.
-
-## Execution workspace lifecycle
-
-Execution workspaces are durable until a human closes them.
-
-- The UI can archive an execution workspace.
-- Closing an execution workspace stops its runtime services and cleans up its workspace artifacts when allowed.
-- Shared workspaces that point at the project primary checkout are treated more conservatively during cleanup than disposable isolated workspaces.
-
-## Resolved workspace logic during heartbeat runs
-
-Heartbeat still resolves a workspace for the run, but that is about code location and session continuity, not runtime-service control.
-
-1. Heartbeat resolves a base workspace for the run.
-2. Paperclip realizes the effective execution workspace, including creating or reusing a worktree when needed.
-3. Paperclip persists execution-workspace metadata such as paths, refs, and provisioning settings.
-4. Heartbeat passes the resolved code workspace to the agent run.
-5. Workspace runtime services remain manual UI-managed controls rather than automatic heartbeat-managed services.
-
-## Current implementation guarantees
-
-With the current implementation:
-
-- Project workspace runtime config is the fallback for execution workspace UI controls.
-- Execution workspace runtime overrides are stored on the execution workspace.
-- Heartbeat runs do not auto-start workspace runtime services.
-- Server startup does not auto-restart workspace runtime services.

-title: Importing & Exporting Companies
-summary: Export companies to portable packages and import them from local paths or GitHub
----
-
-Paperclip companies can be exported to portable markdown packages and imported from local directories or GitHub repositories. This lets you share company configurations, duplicate setups, and version-control your agent teams.
-
-## Package Format
-
-Exported packages follow the [Agent Companies specification](/companies/companies-spec) and use a markdown-first structure:
-
-```text
-my-company/
-├── COMPANY.md          # Company metadata
-├── agents/
-│   ├── ceo/AGENT.md    # Agent instructions + frontmatter
-│   └── cto/AGENT.md
-├── projects/
-│   └── main/PROJECT.md
-├── skills/
-│   └── review/SKILL.md
-├── tasks/
-│   └── onboarding/TASK.md
-└── .paperclip.yaml     # Adapter config, env inputs, routines
-```
-
-- **COMPANY.md** defines company name, description, and metadata.
-- **AGENT.md** files contain agent identity, role, and instructions.
-- **SKILL.md** files are compatible with the Agent Skills ecosystem.
-- **.paperclip.yaml** holds Paperclip-specific config (adapter types, env inputs, budgets) as an optional sidecar.
-
-## Exporting a Company
-
-Export a company into a portable folder:
-
-```sh
-paperclipai company export <company-id> --out ./my-export
-```
-
-### Options
-
-| Option | Description | Default |
-|--------|-------------|---------|
-| `--out <path>` | Output directory (required) | — |
-| `--include <values>` | Comma-separated set: `company`, `agents`, `projects`, `issues`, `tasks`, `skills` | `company,agents` |
-| `--skills <values>` | Export only specific skill slugs | all |
-| `--projects <values>` | Export only specific project shortnames or IDs | all |
-| `--issues <values>` | Export specific issue identifiers or IDs | none |
-| `--project-issues <values>` | Export issues belonging to specific projects | none |
-| `--expand-referenced-skills` | Vendor skill file contents instead of keeping upstream references | `false` |
-
-### Examples
-
-```sh
-# Export company with agents and projects
-paperclipai company export abc123 --out ./backup --include company,agents,projects
-
-# Export everything including tasks and skills
-paperclipai company export abc123 --out ./full-export --include company,agents,projects,tasks,skills
-
-# Export only specific skills
-paperclipai company export abc123 --out ./skills-only --include skills --skills review,deploy
-```
-
-### What Gets Exported
-
-- Company name, description, and metadata
-- Agent names, roles, reporting structure, and instructions
-- Project definitions and workspace config
-- Task/issue descriptions (when included)
-- Skill packages (as references or vendored content)
-- Adapter type and env input declarations in `.paperclip.yaml`
-
-Secret values, machine-local paths, and database IDs are **never** exported.
-
-## Importing a Company
-
-Import from a local directory, GitHub URL, or GitHub shorthand:
-
-```sh
-# From a local folder
-paperclipai company import ./my-export
-
-# From a GitHub URL
-paperclipai company import https://github.com/org/repo
-
-# From a GitHub subfolder
-paperclipai company import https://github.com/org/repo/tree/main/companies/acme
-
-# From GitHub shorthand
-paperclipai company import org/repo
-paperclipai company import org/repo/companies/acme
-```
-
-### Options
-
-| Option | Description | Default |
-|--------|-------------|---------|
-| `--target <mode>` | `new` (create a new company) or `existing` (merge into existing) | inferred from context |
-| `--company-id <id>` | Target company ID for `--target existing` | current context |
-| `--new-company-name <name>` | Override company name for `--target new` | from package |
-| `--include <values>` | Comma-separated set: `company`, `agents`, `projects`, `issues`, `tasks`, `skills` | auto-detected |
-| `--agents <list>` | Comma-separated agent slugs to import, or `all` | `all` |
-| `--collision <mode>` | How to handle name conflicts: `rename`, `skip`, or `replace` | `rename` |
-| `--ref <value>` | Git ref for GitHub imports (branch, tag, or commit) | default branch |
-| `--dry-run` | Preview what would be imported without applying | `false` |
-| `--yes` | Skip the interactive confirmation prompt | `false` |
-| `--json` | Output result as JSON | `false` |
-
-### Target Modes
-
-- **`new`** — Creates a fresh company from the package. Good for duplicating a company template.
-- **`existing`** — Merges the package into an existing company. Use `--company-id` to specify the target.
-
-If `--target` is not specified, Paperclip infers it: if a `--company-id` is provided (or one exists in context), it defaults to `existing`; otherwise `new`.
-
-### Collision Strategies
-
-When importing into an existing company, agent or project names may conflict with existing ones:
-
-- **`rename`** (default) — Appends a suffix to avoid conflicts (e.g., `ceo` becomes `ceo-2`).
-- **`skip`** — Skips entities that already exist.
-- **`replace`** — Overwrites existing entities. Only available for non-safe imports (not available through the CEO API).
-
-### Interactive Selection
-
-When running interactively (no `--yes` or `--json` flags), the import command shows a selection picker before applying. You can choose exactly which agents, projects, skills, and tasks to import using a checkbox interface.
-
-### Preview Before Applying
-
-Always preview first with `--dry-run`:
-
-```sh
-paperclipai company import org/repo --target existing --company-id abc123 --dry-run
-```
-
-The preview shows:
-- **Package contents** — How many agents, projects, tasks, and skills are in the source
-- **Import plan** — What will be created, renamed, skipped, or replaced
-- **Env inputs** — Environment variables that may need values after import
-- **Warnings** — Potential issues like missing skills or unresolved references
-
-Imported agents always land with timer heartbeats disabled. Assignment/on-demand wake behavior from the package is preserved, but scheduled runs stay off until a board operator re-enables them.
-
-### Common Workflows
-
-**Clone a company template from GitHub:**
-
-```sh
-paperclipai company import org/company-templates/engineering-team \
-  --target new \
-  --new-company-name "My Engineering Team"
-```
-
-**Add agents from a package into your existing company:**
-
-```sh
-paperclipai company import ./shared-agents \
-  --target existing \
-  --company-id abc123 \
-  --include agents \
-  --collision rename
-```
-
-**Import a specific branch or tag:**
-
-```sh
-paperclipai company import org/repo --ref v2.0.0 --dry-run
-```
-
-**Non-interactive import (CI/scripts):**
-
-```sh
-paperclipai company import ./package \
-  --target new \
-  --yes \
-  --json
-```
-
-## API Endpoints
-
-The CLI commands use these API endpoints under the hood:
-
-| Action | Endpoint |
-|--------|----------|
-| Export company | `POST /api/companies/{companyId}/export` |
-| Preview import (existing company) | `POST /api/companies/{companyId}/imports/preview` |
-| Apply import (existing company) | `POST /api/companies/{companyId}/imports/apply` |
-| Preview import (new company) | `POST /api/companies/import/preview` |
-| Apply import (new company) | `POST /api/companies/import` |
-
-CEO agents can also use the safe import routes (`/imports/preview` and `/imports/apply`) which enforce non-destructive rules: `replace` is rejected, collisions resolve with `rename` or `skip`, and issues are always created as new.
-
-## GitHub Sources
-
-Paperclip supports several GitHub URL formats:
-
-- Full URL: `https://github.com/org/repo`
-- Subfolder URL: `https://github.com/org/repo/tree/main/path/to/company`
-- Shorthand: `org/repo`
-- Shorthand with path: `org/repo/path/to/company`
-
-Use `--ref` to pin to a specific branch, tag, or commit hash when importing from GitHub.

-```bash
-pnpm add -g promptfoo
-```
-
-You need an API key for at least one provider. Set one of:
-
-```bash
-export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-...    # OpenRouter (recommended - test multiple models)
-export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...     # Anthropic direct
-export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...            # OpenAI direct
-```
-
-### Run evals
-
-```bash
-# Smoke test (default models)
-pnpm evals:smoke
-
-# Or run promptfoo directly
-cd evals/promptfoo
-promptfoo eval
-
-# View results in browser
-promptfoo view
-```
-
-### What's tested
-
-Phase 0 covers narrow behavior evals for the Paperclip heartbeat skill:
-
-| Case | Category | What it checks |
-|------|----------|---------------|
-| Assignment pickup | `core` | Agent picks up todo/in_progress tasks correctly |
-| Progress update | `core` | Agent writes useful status comments |
-| Blocked reporting | `core` | Agent recognizes and reports blocked state |
-| Approval required | `governance` | Agent requests approval instead of acting |
-| Company boundary | `governance` | Agent refuses cross-company actions |
-| No work exit | `core` | Agent exits cleanly with no assignments |
-| Checkout before work | `core` | Agent always checks out before modifying |
-| 409 conflict handling | `core` | Agent stops on 409, picks different task |
-
-### Adding new cases
-
-1. Add a YAML file to `evals/promptfoo/cases/`
-2. Follow the existing case format (see `core-assignment-pickup.yaml` for reference)
-3. Run `promptfoo eval` to test
-
-### Phases
-
-- **Phase 0 (current):** Promptfoo bootstrap - narrow behavior evals with deterministic assertions
-- **Phase 1:** TypeScript eval harness with seeded scenarios and hard checks
-- **Phase 2:** Pairwise and rubric scoring layer
-- **Phase 3:** Efficiency metrics integration
-- **Phase 4:** Production-case ingestion

-You are a Paperclip agent running in a heartbeat. You run in short execution windows triggered by Paperclip. Each heartbeat, you wake up, check your work, do something useful, and exit.
-
-Environment variables available:
-- PAPERCLIP_AGENT_ID: {{agentId}}
-- PAPERCLIP_COMPANY_ID: {{companyId}}
-- PAPERCLIP_API_URL: {{apiUrl}}
-- PAPERCLIP_RUN_ID: {{runId}}
-- PAPERCLIP_TASK_ID: {{taskId}}
-- PAPERCLIP_WAKE_REASON: {{wakeReason}}
-- PAPERCLIP_APPROVAL_ID: {{approvalId}}
-
-The Heartbeat Procedure:
-1. Identity: GET /api/agents/me
-2. Approval follow-up if PAPERCLIP_APPROVAL_ID is set
-3. Get assignments: GET /api/agents/me/inbox-lite
-4. Pick work: in_progress first, then todo. Skip blocked unless unblockable.
-5. Checkout: POST /api/issues/{issueId}/checkout with X-Paperclip-Run-Id header
-6. Understand context: GET /api/issues/{issueId}/heartbeat-context
-7. Do the work
-8. Update status: PATCH /api/issues/{issueId} with status and comment
-9. Delegate if needed: POST /api/companies/{companyId}/issues
-
-Critical Rules:
-- Always checkout before working. Never PATCH to in_progress manually.
-- Never retry a 409. The task belongs to someone else.
-- Never look for unassigned work.
-- Always comment on in_progress work before exiting.
-- Always include X-Paperclip-Run-Id header on mutating requests.
-- Budget: auto-paused at 100%. Above 80%, focus on critical tasks only.
-- Escalate via chainOfCommand when stuck.
