v2026.817.0

Paperclip v2026.817.0

Released: 2026-08-17

Paperclip v2026.817.0 is the first stable release since 2026.722.0 — and the first stable ever published through the new canary → nightly → beta → stable release channels. This exact build shipped as a canary, was smoke-tested and promoted to nightly, soaked as 2026.811.0-beta.0, and only then was promoted to stable. It carries 311 commits spanning a first-class Decisions workflow, full-fidelity company Import/Export, a managed CLI install lifecycle, a chat-style task view, and a long list of fixes and performance work.

Breaking Changes

None of these require action for a typical install, but read through before upgrading:

• Docker :latest now means stable. Previously :latest tracked every master merge. If you relied on that behavior, switch to :canary (or :nightly for a smoke-gated daily). Stable images also get :YYYY.MDD.P version tags and every image gets :sha-<short-sha> for exact pinning. (#11006)
• Experimental Cloud Sync is removed. The host-to-host sync transport (previously flag-gated) is gone; company Import/Export is the single supported data-movement path. Migration 0196 drops the old sync-state tables. Your company data is untouched — only the experimental transport's own bookkeeping is removed. (#10507)
• Standard-trust agents can write to company-visible issues. Comments, issue updates, child-task creation, and assignment now follow one default-open rule based on issue visibility, instead of per-channel ownership grants. Company, user, trust-scope, and run-lifecycle controls still apply, and cross-issue side effects are contained and attributed. (#10804, #10837)
• Archived projects are excluded from the default project list route. Pass the explicit filter to include them. (#10146)

Highlights

• Release channels: canary → nightly → beta → stable — Paperclip now ships on four channels. canary publishes on every merge to master; nightly republishes the newest green canary once a night, but only after the full release smoke suite (real Docker container, browser-driven onboarding) passes against the exact published artifact; beta is a maintainer-promoted nightly behind an approval gate, re-smoked after publish; and every stable must first soak as a beta for at least 3 days. Install with npx paperclipai@latest (stable), @beta, @nightly, or @canary, or pull ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip:latest / :beta / :nightly / :canary. Docker :latest now means stable — see Breaking Changes above. Full details in doc/CHANNELS.md. (#11006, #11008)
• Decisions: a first-class propose/decide workflow — Agents can now propose multi-option actions instead of performing them, and humans decide from a governed, auditable surface. Decisions v1 adds the propose mode itself (typed options and inputs, stale-target detection, audited effect execution), durable decision queues with a prioritized, decide-now-ranked attention feed, and a Decisions desk with triage controls, an aging shelf, and reversible retention. Completed-target decisions retire automatically and link back to their targets. (#10010, #10651, #10672, #10785, #10474, #10892)
• Full-fidelity company Import/Export replaces Cloud Sync — The experimental host-to-host Cloud Sync transport is gone; Import/Export is now the single way to move a company between instances (self-hosted ↔ cloud, or plain backups), with no reachability or cross-instance auth requirements. Bundles (schemaVersion 6) now carry labels, blockers, issue documents, work products, monitors, and every attachment as content-addressed sha256 blobs verified before a single row is written. Imports run as durable async jobs with batched inserts and an integrity guard, packages upload as compressed zips, and the upload cap is now 1 GB and operator-configurable via PAPERCLIP_IMPORT_ZIP_MAX_BYTES. (#10507, #10523, #10531, #10538, #11184)
• Managed install, update, and service lifecycle in the CLI — The paperclipai CLI can now install Paperclip as a durable, self-updating service instead of an ephemeral npx process: managed install with a per-user payload store and stable command shim, side-by-side updates with pre-update backups and retained rollback state, plus service, uninstall, doctor, and bootstrap-installer support across Linux, macOS, containers, and WSL. Managed updates preserve your env files and extensions. (#10045, #10980, #11005)
• One Activity page for "who changed what" — The basic Activity list and the separate Audit page merged into a single rich Activity page built on the audit feed: full history, filters, a scope toggle for all actors vs. agent actions only, and a per-agent audit tab on agent detail. Privileged controls are hidden from members without the audit permission, and cross-task agent writes now come with attribution, audit receipts, and actionable denial messages. (#10838, #10831, #9744, #10843)

Improvements

• Multi-project workspace sync, on by default — Runs that reference multiple projects now sync every referenced project into the workspace by default, with per-project authorization resolved at run prep and partial-sync warnings surfaced on the run. @-mentioned projects are also staged into remote sandboxes over the confined transport. (#10473, #10469, #10380, #10564)
• Shared workspace concurrency controls — Issue runs on a shared workspace are serialized with bounded busy deferrals, and the concurrency limit is configurable from the workspace policy editor. (#10699, #10759, #10771)
• Human-approved secret proposals — Agents that encounter credentials during work can hand them into Paperclip as inert proposals; nothing becomes a live secret or binding until an authorized human reviews and approves. Secret details also gained write-through editing of external values and deep links. (#9934, #10196)
• Agent-to-agent governance surfaces — Issue-thread interactions support governed agent addressees, so one agent can explicitly address another for a response, with server-side authorization, withdrawal, and terminal-issue expiry. Agents can resolve review confirmations under explicit review verdict policies, review rounds are capped with exhausted reviews escalated to the responsible human, delegation cycles back to an open ancestor's creator are refused, and assignment to paused agents is refused (with warnings when an escalation path routes to a paused manager). (#10252, #10251, #10939, #10931, #10650, #10658, #10648, #10657)
• Task-scoped egress grants for confined runs — On Kubernetes confinement, tasks that legitimately need GitHub or package registries can request narrow, issue-scoped egress grants that become run-label-selected network policies, instead of the operator enabling broad namespace-wide egress. Denied requests explain the governing policy and how to request a grant. (#10155)
• Cache-adjusted run cost — Adapters can report the provider-billed cost after prompt-cache discounts, so cache-heavy runs stop being priced wrong in the cost ledger. (#10349)
• Routines: activity-gated run policy — Routines can gate advanced runs on recent activity, exposed through both the editor and the API, and the routines list groups by folder name. (#10225, #9438, #10201)
• Model catalog updates — Claude Opus 5 and Claude Sonnet 5 join the Claude adapter's static mode...

v2026.722.0

Paperclip v2026.722.0

Released: 2026-07-22

Highlights

• Run-bound agent secret access — Agents can now fetch the secrets they've been granted on demand through a run-bound API, instead of relying only on ambient environment injection. A new access.* delivery mode exposes API-only secrets, GET /api/agents/me/secrets lists just the aliases an agent is granted, and POST /api/agents/me/secrets/:key/value returns a value with Cache-Control: no-store. Every value read is written to both the security audit trail and the operator activity log, low-trust review/skill-test tokens stay denied, and a new Secret access editor lets you manage per-agent grants from agent settings. (#9921)
• Local agents run on Windows — The embedded ACPX engine no longer wraps local agent commands in a generated Bash script, so Claude, Codex, Gemini, and custom ACP adapters now spawn natively on Windows as well as Linux. Environment variables are injected through ACPX session options, child stderr is captured in-process, .cmd npm/pnpm shims are preferred on Windows, and symlink EPERM failures fall back to copies. A real Node ACP spawn smoke now runs on both Ubuntu and Windows. (#9980)

Improvements

• User-named PAPERCLIP_* bindings now reach your agents — The heartbeat previously stripped every PAPERCLIP_-prefixed env binding before resolution, so a secret you deliberately named something like PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_PROD_PROVIDER_RAILWAY_TOKEN was silently dropped. Now only PAPERCLIP_API_KEY is categorically rejected, harness-assigned runtime vars always win, and every other PAPERCLIP_* binding flows through to the run environment. (#9974)
• Sturdier telemetry client — The telemetry client now matches the wire contract: payloads are chunked, batch IDs are deterministic, retries are batched with backoff, and the local store is bounded. A silent-drop baseline is pinned and caps/backoff are now a configurable surface. Telemetry remains anonymized and can be disabled with DO_NOT_TRACK=1 or PAPERCLIP_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1. (#9946, #9906, @nickyleach)
• Slash-named secrets browse as folders — Secrets whose names contain slashes now navigate as nested folders in the UI. (#9913)
• Searchable agent picker for secret access — Granting per-agent secret access now uses a searchable agent picker instead of a long flat list. (#9918)
• Cleaner external object labels and star controls — External object labels and the star controls that sit next to them were simplified for less visual noise. (#9929)
• Safer sandbox CODEX_HOME sync — The codex-local adapter now stages an explicit allowlist when syncing CODEX_HOME into the sandbox, rather than copying the whole home directory. (#9972, @nickyleach)

Experimental

These features ship gated behind experimental settings — enable Apps under experimental settings to try them out.

• Connections v3 foundation — The groundwork for one-click Connected Apps landed: a v3 schema core adds a stable company-scoped connection UID, explicit ownership/auth/transport fields, a subject-aware connection_grants table, and multi-key credentials (with the legacy remote_http transport renamed to mcp_remote). On top of that, a generated AppDefinition Wave 1 catalog gives browse and setup a single typed contract, and a runtime layer adds subject-aware authorization state, scoped key handling, and OpenAPI-registered grant routes that fail closed for unknown scopes. (#9958, #9981, #9982)

Fixes

• Archived inbox items stay archived — Items you've archived no longer resurface in the inbox. (#9931)
• Execution-policy final approval finishes cleanly — Approving the final stage of an execution policy now terminates the policy instead of rewinding it back to stage 1. (#7936, @HKTITAN)
• Accept Office issue attachments — Office document attachments (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) are now accepted on issues. (#8562, @samrusani)
• Redact HTTP cookies from server logs — Cookie headers are now redacted from server logs so session material doesn't leak into log output. (#7977, @nosolosoft)
• No more 500s from run-authored comments — createdByRunId is sanitized on comment insert, fixing a class of 500 errors. (#9489, @digitalflanker-ux)
• Preserve terminal status on issue release — Releasing an issue no longer clobbers a terminal (done/cancelled) status. (#7524, @harshkotak)
• Fail loudly on invalid config files — An invalid config file now surfaces a clear error instead of being silently ignored. (#9041, @lesbass)
• Non-clickable pending-approval guidance — The pending-approval admin guidance on the invite screen is no longer a misleading clickable element. (#6786, @le-czs)
• Cron validity settles with radix-ui 1.6.4 — Cron validity handling and a settle-branch test were synced for radix-ui 1.6.4. (#9966, @nickyleach)
• CLI import selection fixes — Cleared import selections no longer drop the extension file, and missing company-manifest fields were added to the import-selection test fixture. (#2379, @kevinmanase, #9978, @aaymeloglu)
• Cloud-managed instances pass the health gate — Cloud-managed instances are now treated as bootstrapped in the health gate so they don't stall on startup. (#9912)

Upgrade Guide

• This release adds two additive database migrations for the Connections v3 foundation (0182_connections_v3_schema_core, 0183_connection_user_authorization_state), which backfill stable connection UIDs, create default workspace grants, and rename the remote_http transport to mcp_remote. Migrations run automatically on startup — no manual action is required.
• If you previously set a static PAPERCLIP_API_KEY in adapter/config env to override the run token, that override no longer applies — the harness-minted run token is now the only source of the run API key. All other PAPERCLIP_*-named bindings now flow through to the run environment as expected.
• Connections/Apps remain gated behind experimental settings. Enable Apps under experimental settings to try the Connections v3 surfaces.

v2026.720.0

Paperclip v2026.720.0

Released: 2026-07-20

Highlights

• Skill Studio & skill organization — A three-pane skill IDE with sandboxed test runs, so you can author, edit, and try out skills without leaving Paperclip. Skills now organize into nested folders with a dedicated "My Skills" view, you can import skills straight from a project, and company skill policy is open-by-default with core UX for tightening it. Company skill forks run prechecks before they land, and markdown edits get proper dirty-tracking and save. (#9241, #9235, #9356, #9633, #9620, #9564)
• Attention queue & Decisions — A new attention queue and Decisions surface bring everything that needs your input into one place, with faster scrolling and readable, mobile-friendly decision rows. (#9380, #9468, #9472)
• Better search — Search gains filters, sorting, and operators, with command-palette parity so you can find issues and entities the same way everywhere, plus a new bulk extract endpoint. (#9327, #9507)
• Tougher, self-healing runs — Run restart recovery, workspace self-heal, quota-aware retries, and failed-run metrics mean your instance tries harder before it involves you. Recovery is now routed by failure cause, waits for provider quota resets, throttles serial repeats, and reports observability metrics with a rate alert. Plan-approval continuations and external-wait liveness are durable across failed wakes, and resolved blockers reliably wake the tasks that depend on them. (#9183, #9331, #9373, #9229, #9634, #9635, #9651, #9644)

Improvements

• Sandbox execution — ACP sessions can now run in sandbox execution targets, with sandbox support for the Grok local adapter, custom-image snapshots applied across config tests and saves, and a sandbox wall-clock backstop raised to four hours for long-running work. (#9390, #9338, #9385, #9232)
• Issue monitors are visible everywhere — External-service and issue monitors now surface across task surfaces and in issue properties, so you can see what a task is waiting on at a glance. (#9783)
• Reworked secrets dialog with in-sheet agent access — The secrets dialog was reworked and you can now grant per-agent secret access directly in the sheet. (#9797)
• Agents can safely tidy inboxes — Agents can now archive and tidy user inboxes under a governed inbox-archive access policy. (#9724, #9658, #9654)
• Active PR gardening workflow — A new PR-gardening workflow keeps open pull requests moving. (#9510)
• Stable workspace service controls — The workspace service control bar was stabilized so start/stop/restart controls behave predictably. (#9705)
• Responsible-user attribution on activity logs — Activity logs now stamp the responsible user, and issue attribution is explicit. (#9731)
• Clearer blocked-issue messaging — When a message won't reopen a blocked issue, the UI now explains why (Rule C). (#9417)
• Interruptible queued runs — You can now interrupt queued issue runs instead of waiting them out. (#9725)
• Clearer task-level model overrides — Issue properties now clarify task-level model overrides. (#9710)
• Design-system convergence — Single-source design tokens, a visual regression suite, and a retuned theme, plus broad Card/Badge adoption, a multiplicative radius ladder, and unified list surfaces. Task status glyphs now use Lucide icons. (#9134, #9240, #9395)
• Activity-gated routines — Scheduled runs can be gated on external activity, so routines only fire when there's real work to do. (#9436)
• ACP is the default engine for local adapters — Local coding adapters now run through ACP by default, with local coding processes confined for safety, and the Claude ACP client was updated. (#9238, #9504, #9484)
• Spend & cost telemetry — ACP-lane usage and cost now flow into spend telemetry, unpriced CLI usage is recorded, and credential-health retention is documented. (#9471, #9505, #9248, @nickyleach)
• Durable run logs — Run logs are now mirrored to a durable object-storage-backed store. (#8984, @stubbi)
• Codex & model updates — Updated Codex adapter GPT-5.6 defaults and added gpt-5.4-mini to Codex/OpenCode selection (plus openai/gpt-5.5 to OpenCode). (#9352, #4357, @supertaz)
• Ship ripgrep in the agent runtime image — rg is now available out of the box in the base agent image. (#8976, @stubbi)
• Fewer redundant wakes — Redundant issue re-wakes are throttled and the execution contract is injected once per fresh heartbeat, cutting duplicate token spend. (#9470, #9469)
• Show source SHA for unreleased builds — Builds that aren't on a formal release now surface their source SHA, preserved even without Git metadata. (#9508, #9638)
• Prose editor for agent instructions — Markdown agent instructions now use the prose editor. (#9332)
• Health-gated dev services — Paperclip dev services now require health readiness before they're considered up. (#9269)
• Harder environment deletion — Environment deletion is hardened and now shows its delete blast radius. (#9250, @nickyleach)
• Faster release verification — The release verify workflow is parallelized and npm registry version queries are batched. (#9168, #9202)

Experimental

These features ship gated behind experimental settings — enable them under experimental settings to try them out.

• MCP Tool Gateway & Apps — A first-class, governed way to connect Model Context Protocol tools. A named MCP gateway brokers every tool call, governed access contracts and a tool-access policy decide which agents and profiles may use which tools, and the new Tools, Profiles, and Apps surfaces let you wire up, install, and smoke-test connections from the UI. (#9556, #9557, #9558, #9559, #9560, #9561, #9562, #9563)
• Built-in Summarizer & summary slots — A built-in summarizer agent and summary slots surface concise, always-current summaries right in the UI. (#9713)
• Decision Training — A new decision-training library and inspector let you capture decision snapshots and review how your agents decide over time, backed by a snapshot foundation and image galleries for decisions with visual context. (#9702, #9779, #9532)
• Cases — A new first-class Case object gives you a structured, documen...

v2026.707.0

Paperclip v2026.707.0

Released: 2026-07-07

This release lands 89 commits from 8 contributors.

Highlights

• User-specific runtime secrets - Secrets can now be scoped to the individual human operator, not just the company. Define user-specific secret definitions, store per-user values, bind them to environments, and — thanks to new responsible-user run attribution — have Paperclip deterministically check that the human behind a run has actually supplied the value a run needs before it dispatches. This is a real prerequisite for safe multi-user and cloud execution. (#8825, @cryppadotta)
• Work Timeline - A new company-scoped Work Timeline page renders a compact, Gantt-style SVG view of when your agents worked, how handoffs happened, and where work overlapped — so you can scan multi-agent execution across the whole company at a glance instead of opening runs one by one. The timeline is backed by a dedicated company endpoint with hardened security filters. (#8938, #8880, #8875, #8923, @cryppadotta)
• Custom sandbox images with a built-in SSH terminal - Build reusable custom sandbox images and set them up without ever leaving the browser: an embedded SSH terminal lets you install packages and prep the image directly from the environment configuration flow, and custom images are now scoped to their instance environments. No more copying an SSH command into an external terminal. (#8911, #8794, #8850, @devinfoley)
• Redesigned environment variables editor - The legacy env-var editor is replaced with a single reusable editor used everywhere environment variables are configured (agents, projects, routines, company environments). It handles text values, secret references, draft rows, and sensitive-value warnings consistently, with clearer affordances for converting a plain value into a secret reference. (#8930, @cryppadotta)
• One-click recovery for diverged work - The recovery card now diagnoses when a task's branch has diverged from its base and offers a one-click isolated re-issue, so you can recover stuck or conflicted work without hand-untangling git state. (#9136, @nickyleach)
• Starred resources in the sidebar - Pin the projects, agents, and tasks you touch most to a dedicated starred section in the sidebar for one-click access. (#9085, @cryppadotta)

Improvements

• Optional Ramp skill - A new optional catalog skill wires agents into Ramp's finance setup playbooks — account onboarding, cards, and spend controls — while keeping every action subordinate to Paperclip's approval gates and fail-closed host allowlist. Companies can opt in, and reviewers can see the source model and safety rules in one shipped catalog entry. (#9157, @cryppadotta)
• Faster issue detail loading - Issue detail and activity-ledger responses are trimmed to the fields those views actually need, dropping large embedded project, workspace, and runtime-metadata payloads. Active issues with workspaces now load noticeably faster without changing the underlying persistence model. (#9125, @cryppadotta)
• Project typeahead in the ⌘K command palette - Matching projects now rank above tasks in the command palette, so typing a project name jumps straight to it instead of burying it under tasks, and the project name is always visible in the row. (#8773, @scotttong)
• Gemini 3.1 Pro models - The gemini-local adapter adds Gemini 3.1 Pro models. (#1602, @woosal1337)
• Live heartbeat progress in run logs - The live agent run viewer now renders heartbeat progress events as system log lines, so useful progress text shows up during long operations instead of staying invisible until another event arrives. (#8965, @devinfoley)
• Better live feedback during sandboxed runs - Sandboxed runs surface clearer live agent feedback while they execute. (#8915, @devinfoley)
• Live descendant status in inbox rows - Inbox rows now show the live status of descendant work, so a parent task reflects what its children are actually doing. (#8876, @cryppadotta)
• Operator issue workflow polish - The operator-facing issue workflow UI got a cleanup pass for clearer status and next-step affordances. (#9091, @cryppadotta)
• Cleaner issue properties pane - The issue properties pane got a cleanup pass, and the issue media attachment gallery is now unified across surfaces. (#8941, #8785, @cryppadotta)
• Pipeline automation title templates - Pipeline automations support title templates, so generated issues get consistent, templated titles. (#8787, @cryppadotta)
• Deduplicated pipeline automation health warnings - Pipeline automation health warnings are deduplicated, so the same issue isn't reported multiple times. (#9090, @cryppadotta)
• Deduplicated watchdog review wakes - Open watchdog review wakes are deduplicated so a single review doesn't trigger repeated wakes. (#9148, @cryppadotta)
• Bundled UI webfonts - The app now bundles its UI webfonts instead of fetching them at runtime, so the interface renders with consistent typography even offline or in locked-down networks. (#9020, @cryppadotta)
• Read-only diagnostics endpoints - New read-only diagnostics endpoints expose issue-subtree, issue-blocker, and workspace branch-ancestry state, making it easier to inspect why work is stuck without mutating anything. (#9135, #9114, #9117, @nickyleach)
• Branch incoherence containment - Managed workspaces now contain branch-incoherence situations instead of letting them cascade, so a single bad branch state doesn't strand downstream runs. (#9131, @nickyleach)
• Faster upgrades - The slow issue-comment attribution backfill was relocated to a fast, idempotent migration, so upgrading is quicker and safer to re-run. (#9108, @nickyleach)
• Checkbox selections carried into continuation wakes - Checkbox selections are now included in continuation wakes, so an agent resuming a task keeps the choices you made. (#8893, @cryppadotta)
• Plan review context preserved across wakes - Plan review context is preserved when an agent is woken, so long-running planning work doesn't lose its thread. (#8649, @cryppadotta)
• Dependency wake reconciliation backstop - A reconciliation backstop makes dependency-driven wakes more reliable, so blocked tasks don't get stranded when a blocker resolves. (#8943, @nickyleach)
• Ask-user questions expire when superseded - Pending ask-user questions are expired once a later comment supersedes them, so stale prompts don't linger. (#8799, @cryppadotta)
• Normalized adapter display labels - Adapter display labels are normalized for a consistent look across the UI. (#8913, @devinfoley)
• Telemetry data contract - This release adds a documented telemetry data contract, generated client telemetry types, and an interaction-resolved telemetry signal — groundwork for more reliable, well-typed anonymized usage insights. (#8886, #8818, #8824, @nickyleach)
• Accessibility improvements - The issues view toggle and goal-tree expand buttons get proper ARIA attributes and tooltips, and date preset and day-of-week toggle buttons now expose aria-pressed. (#1937, #1939, #1913, @bluzername)

Fixes

• Work Timeline actor avatars - Actor avatars now render correctly on the Work Timeline instead of showing missing or wrong images. (#9152, @cryppadotta)
• iOS inbox archive gestures - The inbox swipe-to-archive control no longer shares one pending-state gate across rows, so archiving one item on mobile no longer makes the other inbox archive gestures feel stuck. (#9154, @cryppadotta)
• Deduplicated adapter-agnostic config keys - Adapter-agnostic config keys are no longer dupl...

v2026.626.0

Paperclip v2026.626.0

Released: 2026-06-26

This release lands 122 commits from 17 contributors.

Highlights

• Hermes, now built in (local & remote gateway) - Hermes is a first-class adapter in this release. Hire hermes_local agents that run on your own machine, or hermes_gateway agents that run Hermes remotely through a gateway — no manual plugin install required, with secure onboarding defaults for the gateway URL and API key. External Hermes packages can still override or shadow the built-ins through Adapter manager. (#8543, @cryppadotta)
• Task watchdogs - A first-class watchdog control plane lets you attach automated checks to a task and have Paperclip watch it for you — surfacing watchdog state, outcomes, and outstanding work right in the issue thread instead of leaving you to babysit a long-running agent. (#8339, @cryppadotta)
• Ask work mode - Issues can now run in an "ask" work mode for question-and-answer tasks, so you can point an agent at a question and get an answer back without it spinning up a full execution workflow. (#8334, @cryppadotta)
• Sandbox runtime status, live in your threads - Ephemeral sandbox runtimes now report their status directly in issue threads, and Daytona sandbox leases are reused across runs — so cloud/sandboxed execution is both more visible and faster to spin up. (#8594, #8593, @devinfoley; #8513, @devinfoley)
• Workspace file downloads & external object references - Get work products out of Paperclip: download the files your agents produced straight from the workspace, and reference external objects (links, assets) across issue surfaces so the right context travels with the task. (#8512, #8229, @cryppadotta)

Improvements

• Refreshed onboarding - The onboarding flow has been reworked and the older classic wizard retired, alongside a batch of UI style fixes — so getting a new instance set up is cleaner and the default task UI (work-mode labels, status colors, team-creation copy) is consistent out of the box. (#8628, @cryppadotta)
• Task status icons & colors - Task status now reads at a glance with dedicated icons and colors across the board and issue lists. (#8580, @scotttong; #8376, @tonio-alucema)
• Routine date variables - Routines gain date variable controls, so a recurring routine can parameterize on the run date without hand-editing the prompt each time. (#8655, @cryppadotta)
• Skill category editing - You can now edit skill categories in settings, making it easier to organize an installed skill catalog. (#8615, @cryppadotta)
• Publish Paperclip pages & capsules - A bundled page-publishing skill lets agents publish static HTML pages and asset folders to an approved host, and a bundled capsules skill ships the Paperclip capsule identicon toolkit. (#8664, #8669, @cryppadotta)
• Bounded workspace overview - The workspace overview endpoint is now bounded, dramatically cutting the payload and latency for instances with large workspaces. (#8627, @cryppadotta)
• Streamlined sidebar by default - The streamlined sidebar is now the default layout. (#8496, @devinfoley)
• Sorted workspace routines - Workspace routines are now sorted by name, so the routine list stays predictable. (#8666, @cryppadotta)
• Plugin install targeting - The CLI surfaces the plugin install target host and adds a plugin target command, so you always know which instance a plugin is being installed into. (#8575, @cryppadotta)
• Better workspace selector search - The reusable workspace selector gets improved search, making it quicker to pick the right workspace. (#8597, @cryppadotta)
• Instance-scoped execution environments - Execution environments are now instance-scoped and edited through a dialog, with cleaner copy and a tidier driver dropdown on the Company Environments screen. (#8375, #8391, #8400, #8398, #8329, @cryppadotta)
• Heartbeat preflight budget caps - Heartbeats now respect preflight budget caps, giving you a hard ceiling on what a single wake can spend. (#8347, @levineam)
• Skill mutations gated by permission - Skill create/edit/delete is now gated behind a dedicated skills:create permission, so lower-privileged principals can browse skills without being able to change them. (#8616, @cryppadotta)
• Observable sandbox sync progress - Adapter utilities can now report sandbox sync progress, so long file syncs into a sandbox are no longer a black box. (#8395, @cryppadotta)
• Codex local inherits host login - codex_local agents inherit the host Codex login by default and seed managed auth into isolated homes, so they work without re-authenticating. (#8425, #8403, @cryppadotta)
• Codex local inactivity monitor - The codex_local adapter now monitors output inactivity and prefers the loopback runtime API URL for local agents, improving reliability of long local runs. (#5017, #5102, @neerazz)
• Claude refusal signal - The claude_local adapter emits an errorCode of claude_refusal on a stop_reason refusal, so refusals are handled as a first-class outcome. (#8314, @uky333)
• Claude 4.5 model aliases - claude_local now uses direct 4.5 model aliases. (#3800, @LeonSGP43)
• Agent id header for claude_local - claude_local stamps the agent id via an X-Anthropic-Agent-Id header. (#8322, @zenprocess)
• Cleaner agent config & company copy - The agent config environment selector is cleaner, the company creation copy is refreshed, and the adapter test button only tests (no accidental saves). (#8504, #8653, #8405, @cryppadotta)
• Cheap-model agent config check - Agent configuration checks now test with a cheap model, so validating a config doesn't burn premium tokens. (#8632, @cryppadotta)

Fixes

• Mobile issue chat - Fixed issue-chat spacing on mobile, the mention warning spacing, and horizontal viewport scroll on small screens. (#8493, #8486, #8370, @cryppadotta)
• Scroll position on back/forward - The main content area now restores its scroll position on browser back/forward navigation. (#8636, @devinfoley)
• UI detail regressions - A batch of issue-detail and rich-object regressions are fixed, including generic URL rich-object labels. (#8613, #8662, @cryppadotta)
• Secret ref binding sync - Top-level secret reference binding now stays in sync, and agent secret bindings are enforced across lifecycle flows so a reassigned or re-run agent always sees the right secrets. (#8630, #8307, @cryppadotta)
• Sandbox restore & publishing - Fixed sandbox restore index drift, sandbox git publishing, large workspace uploads, and excluded transient Codex home dirs from sandbox sync. (#8595, #8422, #8581, @cryppadotta)
• Daytona disk & resources - Daytona sandboxes default to auto-archive so they leave the disk quota, resource overrides work for image-backed sandboxes, and the env config form accepts valid memory input with size presets. (#8561, #8564, #8389, @cryppadotta)
• Smarter recovery - Stranded-issue recovery converts review-parked continuations into dependency waits and exempts routine-parent issues from missing-disposition hand...

v2026.618.0

Paperclip v2026.618.0

Released: 2026-06-18

Highlights

• Skills Store - Browse, install, and manage agent skills from a dedicated in-app store, so you can give your agents new capabilities without hand-wiring files. Skills are now a first-class, installable unit with install counts and a company-scoped catalog. (#7990, @cryppadotta)
• Self-hostable sandbox execution - Cloud/sandboxed agent execution matures: a self-hostable Kubernetes sandbox provider plugin lands alongside server-side Kubernetes execution integration and hardened agent-runtime images, plus a new Novita sandbox provider. Run your agents in an isolated sandbox on your own infrastructure or a cloud provider. (#5790, #7938, #7934, @stubbi; #7595, @Alex-yang00)
• Per-company multi-tenant isolation - A major security foundation for shared and cloud deployments: each company now gets its own JWT signing keys, cloud tenants are strictly company-scoped (never instance-admin), and plugin tables carry a company_id foreign key so plugin data is isolated per tenant. (#5864, #7525, #5865, @stubbi)
• Workspace file viewer and artifact links - Inspect the files your agents produced directly from the issue — a built-in workspace file viewer plus artifact links mean you can open work products without leaving the thread. (#7681, @cryppadotta)
• Env-driven gateway routing for local adapters - The codex, pi, opencode, and gemini local adapters can now route through custom providers and gateways via environment configuration (custom providers, small/cheap model selection, remote allow-all) — a key prerequisite for running your own model gateways. (#7919, #7920, #7837, #7918, @stubbi)

Improvements

• Harder-working agents - A large batch of heartbeat, recovery, and execution-lock fixes makes your instance more resilient: execution locks release on cross-agent reassignment, stale executionRunId/checkoutRunId are cleared on release, reassignment, checkout, and run finalization (with a backstop sweeper), orphan execution locks are cleared when a run finalizes, and stale checkout run ownership is safely adopted. (#5110, @vbalko-claimate; #2482, @alcylu; #6008, @nicorodrigues; #4318, @AyeletMorris-ShieldFC; #5413, @ivasuy)
• Smarter recovery - Stranded-issue recovery now skips issues with a pending wake interaction and exempts escalation when the assignee shows recent visible progress, so agents aren't yanked off work they're actively doing. (#4854, @ming0627; #5213, @sunghere)
• Routine detail page - The routine detail page gets a redesigned sub-sidebar layout plus follow-up polish, making it easier to read and tune a recurring routine. (#7848, #7858, @cryppadotta)
• Follow your system theme - First-time visitors now default to their OS prefers-color-scheme, and there's a theme toggle right on the unauthenticated auth page. (#5873, #5874, @stubbi)
• OpenTelemetry auto-instrumentation - The server supports opt-in OpenTelemetry auto-instrumentation, so you can wire Paperclip into your existing observability stack. (#3735, @stubbi)
• Proxy-aware trust config - TRUST_PROXY now accepts a CIDR list and named subnets, making correct client-IP handling behind load balancers and reverse proxies much easier to configure. (#5872, @stubbi)
• GPT-5.5 for Codex local - GPT-5.5 is now available in the codex_local adapter's model options. (#5575, @Buywatermelon)
• Auto-built bundled plugins - Bundled plugins are now built automatically on install, so they work out of the box without a manual build step. (#8254, @devinfoley)
• Read-only agent config without elevated grants - Read-only agent config and skill endpoints no longer require the agents:create permission, so lower-privileged principals can inspect configuration. (#3725, @stubbi)
• Auto-complete approved review comments - Review comments that are approved now auto-complete, removing a manual step from the review loop. (#5839, @tommypoltev)
• Secrets stay out of the logs - HTTP error log lines now redact passwords and tokens so credentials don't leak into your logs. (#8013, @devinfoley)
• Account menu Feedback shortcut - There's now a Feedback item in the account flyout menu for quick, in-context feedback. (#7854, @scotttong)
• Hermes custom providers - The Hermes adapter now passes custom providers through as args, so your provider configuration is respected. (#8231, @cryppadotta)

Fixes

• Agent config save toast - Saving an agent configuration now shows a success toast so you get clear confirmation the change landed. (#1931, @bluzername)
• Extra args field no longer mangles commas - The extra-args field stops corrupting comma-separated values while you type. (#2125, @tvskart)
• Desktop shell stays put - The desktop shell no longer window-scrolls when scrollIntoView walks past the body, and stays pinned on comment submit. (#8071, @devinfoley; #8041, @dosthcpp)
• Routine variable detection - Routine variables are now detected even when their underscores are markdown-escaped. (#8056, @devinfoley)
• Railway compatibility - The VOLUME keyword was removed from the image for Railway compatibility. (#2619, @br-creative)
• Skip gosu when already correct user - Startup skips gosu when the process is already running as the target user. (#2908, @stubbi)
• OpenClaw Gateway - The OpenClaw Gateway integration is now complete and stabilized. (#2322, @DissidentAI)
• Watchdog noise - The watchdog now suppresses repeat alerts when the source issue is blocked or the evaluation is board-closed. (#5942, @dbezar)
• Session continuity across adapter/model swaps - Heartbeats no longer reuse a stale runtime sessionId across an adapter swap or when the agent's model changes, and session IDs are validated as UUIDs before --resume. (#4109, @kengraversen; #4195, @nirarazi; #1742, @nydamon)
• Adapter session self-healing - Local adapters recover more gracefully: gemini_local treats token-overflow as a fresh-session signal, claude_local recovers from a poisoned previous_message_id 400, and runs auto-retry on Claude "Could not process image" 400s during resume. (#4932, @sherifkozman; #5972, @redmutex; #3276, @nullEFFORT)
• Codex local auth handling - codex_local replaces a stale auth.json copy with a symlink on prepare, omits the default model so the CLI picks per auth mode, and there's added test coverage for the EEXIST symlink race. (#5240, @HKTITAN; #7971, @devinfoley; #5269, @abhishekgahlot2)
• No more zombie runs - Zombie run coalescing is prevented and the startup reap completes before the heartbeat timer ticks. (#1731, @carmandale)
• Self-comment reopen guards - Same-run self-comments are skipped and terminal issues are guarded against an assignee's self-comment reopening them. (#4973, @roy493; #4346, @NiViGaHo)
• Defer fresh-session wakes - Same-issue force-fresh-session wakes are deferred into follow-up runs instead of disrupting the current one. ([#4080](#408...

v2026.609.0

v2026.609.0

Released: 2026-06-09

Highlights

• Company Artifacts - Files, media, and documents your agents produce are now first-class. A new company-scoped Artifacts page indexes every work product across issues and runs, groups them by task stack by default, and supports upload and rich playback — including video artifact thumbnails — so you can inspect what your agents made without opening each issue one by one. (#7621, #7654, #7667, #7248, @cryppadotta)
• Collapsible sidebar rail and takeover panes - The primary navigation can now collapse to a persisted rail with hover/focus peek, giving contextual pages — especially company settings and plugin routes — far more horizontal room while keeping global navigation one click away. (#7824, @cryppadotta)
• Rich issue attachments with video - Issues now accept video attachments and render rich inline previews, including standalone PWA browser controls and inline video playback, so screen recordings and media land directly in the thread instead of as opaque downloads. (#7361, #7360, @cryppadotta)
• Checkbox confirmation interactions - Issue-thread interactions can now ask the board or user to confirm one or more options via a structured checkbox payload, with consistent validation across the API, CLI, plugin helpers, and UI — and free-text "other" answers now render as proper links. (#7649, @cryppadotta)
• Information Architecture refresh (experimental) - An opt-in visual refresh of the project and agent surfaces makes high-frequency workflows easier to scan, and instance settings now live under company settings so configuration is discoverable from one place. (#7543, @scotttong; #7680, @cryppadotta)
• Automated PR quality and security gates - commitperclip now runs automated quality and security gates on incoming PRs — checking for a linked issue, test coverage, a complete template, and a clean lockfile, plus a dedup-search check — so contributors get fast, consistent feedback and maintainers spend review time where it counts. Paired with new low-trust review containment that gives reviewers of untrusted content a narrowly-scoped, prompt-injection-resistant authority preset. (#6469, @brandonburr; #7632, #7530, @cryppadotta)

Improvements

• Harder-working agents - Operators get a direct, audited recovery path with a new clear-error agent action and live-run stop finalization actions, while invalid agents (terminated, paused, pending-approval) are centrally prevented from receiving new assignments or runs — so your instance stays consistent and tries harder before involving you. (#7695, #7679, #7663, @cryppadotta)
• Sharper wake boundaries - Document-scoped comments are now treated as review context instead of firing the same wake path as top-level issue comments, and issue comment wake handoffs were refined — so agents wake on the activity that actually needs them. (#7766, #7678, @cryppadotta)
• External adapter overrides for built-ins - External adapter plugins can now hot-install over a built-in adapter type (for example a newer hermes implementation) while keeping the built-in available as a fallback, matching the registry's existing override behavior. (#7394, @HenkDz)
• Gemini CLI bundled in the image - The production Docker image now bakes in the Gemini CLI so the gemini_local adapter works out of the box alongside claude, codex, and opencode. (#7693, @davison)
• New Claude models in the selector - Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 are now offered in the claude_local adapter's model selector (Opus 4.8 stays the default). (#7826, @cryppadotta)
• Routines respect paused projects - Scheduled routine ticks are now suppressed while a project is paused, archived routines are hidden from the routines page, and the routines view now defaults to grouping by project. (#7502, @dosthcpp)
• Deleted comments are redacted - Deleted issue comments are now redacted atomically, with regression coverage, so removed content doesn't linger in the thread. (#7554, @cryppadotta)
• Stronger CLI and API parity - The CLI now sends X-Paperclip-Run-Id so agents can mutate their own issues via the CLI, plus broader OpenAPI spec coverage, auth metadata, and CLI/API parity tests. (#7642, #4579, #6626, @aronprins)
• Login accessibility - The login screen now ships proper accessibility and password-manager metadata for a smoother sign-in. (#7660, @cryppadotta)
• Safer workspaces - Git-sensitive adapter workspaces are now guarded, archived companies no longer wake agents, and experimental settings survive across retired feature flags. (#7644, #7478, @cryppadotta)

Fixes

• Foreign tracker keys no longer link as Paperclip issues - Keys from other trackers in your text are no longer mistakenly turned into Paperclip issue links. (#7511, @pmn4)
• Agents can use plugin tools - Agent-issued JWTs are now accepted by the plugin tool endpoints (GET/POST /api/plugins/tools), so agents can actually call the plugin capabilities built for them. (#7480, @devinfoley)
• Plugin worker resolution - The plugin tool dispatcher now propagates pluginDbId so worker.isRunning resolves correctly. (#5671, @Ramon-nassa)
• Issue anchor binding - anchor.createdAt is now coerced to a Date before the postgres binding, fixing an insert failure on annotation anchors. (#5220, @aperim-agent)
• Hermes resume state - Hermes resume session state is now guarded during heartbeats so resumed runs pick up cleanly. (#7516, @andrewylies)
• Dev runner snapshot race - Fixed a dev-runner snapshot race and the document comment panel layering, with regression coverage. (#7362, @cryppadotta)

v2026.529.0

v2026.529.0

Released: 2026-05-29

Highlights

• Inline document annotations and comments - Issue documents now support inline, revision-aware annotation threads with comments and stable anchor snapshots, so agents and operators can discuss a specific passage instead of leaving detached issue comments or editing the whole document. (#6733, @cryppadotta)
• Company skills CLI and catalog management - Skills are now first-class: install, reset, audit, export, and assign company skills with a new CLI and a board UI, backed by a packaged skills catalog and a clear provenance model across bundled, catalog, runtime, and adapter-provided skills. (#6782, @cryppadotta)
• Hide projects and agents from your sidebar - User-scoped resource membership lets each user leave projects and agents they don't want cluttering their sidebar while keeping every resource accessible, backed by company-scoped membership APIs and a cleaner, easier-to-scan project list. (#6677, @cryppadotta)
• First-admin claim flow for fresh self-hosted deployments - Private, unclaimed deployments (such as Umbrel installs on a LAN) now get a one-time browser claim so operators can create the first admin before any invite exists, while public deployments and installs with active invites keep the existing invite-only model. (#6755, @cryppadotta)
• Live Claude model discovery - The Claude Local adapter can now refresh its Anthropic model catalog from the UI, so newly released Claude models show up without waiting for a code release — with the static fallback list kept current as a safety net. (#6953, @cryppadotta)

Improvements

• Bundled plugins now appear in the plugin manager - Instance Settings → plugin manager lists built-in bundled plugins alongside installed external plugins, so the full set of available plugins is visible in one place. (#6734, @cryppadotta)
• Tighter workspace lifecycle guarantees - Workspace finalize gates and no-remote-git enforcement close holes in the worktree contract — no more silent env reuse across assignees, dependent issue wakes no longer fire before finalize lands, and issue.interaction.accept waits for finalize — so dependent issues reliably see a consistent worktree. (#6969, @devinfoley)

Fixes

• Accepted plans decompose exactly once - Accepted plan revisions are now guarded so they can't be decomposed more than once across overlapping runs, fixing the duplicate-subtask fan-out that could occur when agents woke from review decisions and reused isolated workspaces, plus clearer plan-decomposition UI state. (#6831, @devinfoley)

v2026.525.0

v2026.525.0

Released: 2026-05-25

Highlights

• Modal sandbox provider is now a first-party plugin - Paperclip ships a Modal sandbox-provider plugin so companies can run agents on Modal's managed sandboxes alongside E2B, Cloudflare, and Daytona, with CI publishing and cold-start-friendly probe timeouts wired in. (#6245, #6289, #6290, @devinfoley)
• Workspace diffs are a first-class viewer plugin - The new workspace diff plugin renders staged, unstaged, head, renamed, binary, oversized, and untracked changes through host services and plugin slots, with split/unified panes, sticky headers, and reliable default base refs. (#6071, #6383, @cryppadotta)
• Routines can carry their own secrets - Routine env now flows through the runtime contract with persisted revisions, agent < project < routine precedence, and safe secret metadata in routine UI/history — without exposing secret values in logs or access events. (#6212, @cryppadotta)
• Local Cloud Upstream sync is in - A new Cloud Upstream flow ships with shared types, server routes, persisted run schema, CLI sync helpers, a board UI, and settings entry points so operators can preview, resolve conflicts, and activate local-to-cloud syncs. (#6548, @cryppadotta)
• ACPX-Claude adapter works seamlessly out of the box - The acpx_local adapter now resolves bare Claude model IDs, surfaces real diagnostic detail instead of opaque "Internal error" logs, and respects user ~/.claude/settings.json permissions so first-run Claude Local ACPX agents don't strand. (#6590, @devinfoley)

Improvements

• Scoped agent permissions and assignment controls - Issue and agent assignment mutations now run through a real authorization service with protected-assignment enforcement, plugin SDK/host APIs for company settings slots and policy/grant management, retry-now affordances on blocked issues, and an incremental principal-access compatibility backfill. (#6386, @cryppadotta)
• AWS provider vault setup is operator-friendly - The Secrets page now offers AWS provider vault discovery with prefill, removal flows, and Storybook coverage so external vault configuration no longer requires hand-typed metadata. (#6381, @cryppadotta)
• SecretBindingPicker is wired into plugin config forms - JSON-schema secret-ref fields (E2B, Modal, Cloudflare, Daytona, …) now render the canonical secret picker instead of a plain password input, so binding stored secrets no longer requires copy-pasting UUIDs. (#6339, @devinfoley)
• External agent invites moved into the add-agent modal - Bring-your-own-agent onboarding now lives next to local/managed agent creation with an agent-oriented prompt result view and Back navigation, instead of hiding behind OpenClaw-specific company invite settings. (#6183, @aronprins)
• Mobile board flows feel smoother - Mobile new-issue dialog height, priority overflow, company settings nav, plugin-route sidebar selection, browser controls in home-screen app mode, and small touch-target/menu scroll bugs are all polished. (#6550, #6384, @cryppadotta)
• Plugin runtime is scoped tighter to its company - Plugin worker-to-host calls now propagate host-owned invocation context, performAction carries authenticated actor context, company invocation scope is enforced on bridge calls, and plugin operation issues stay out of normal issue surfaces. (#6547, @cryppadotta)
• Runtime and tenant import paths are more reliable - Embedded Postgres now bootstraps native runtime before CLI/server/test startup, async tenant import jobs have deferred validation, and trusted Cloud tenant imports no longer fail the browser-origin guard for legitimate server-to-server traffic. (#6549, #6378, @cryppadotta)
• Control-plane state transitions are tighter - Pagination sorts cleanly on updated issue lists, scheduled retry comments behave, pending plugin migrations re-apply on hot reload, plugin-schema worktree seeds restore safely, stale request confirmations expire after user comments, and feedback export shutdown drains without database-unavailable loops. (#6380, @cryppadotta)
• Cheap recovery model is fenced off from real work - Status-only recovery now carries explicit guard context, route guards block deliverable mutations during cheap runs, and cheap-profile hints no longer leak into normal source-work retries. (#6371, @cryppadotta)
• Invite flow, projects, and workspace polish from the May 17 branch land - Invite landing reuses the shared companies query helper, existing-member invite behavior and copy fallback are restored, reusable workspace selection picks correctly, worktree auth and static SPA fallback are fixed, markdown wrapping and plugin slot registration are firmed up, and projects page sorting lands. (#6604, #6210, @cryppadotta)
• Sandbox-provider plugins no longer clutter Instance Settings - Driver-only plugins (E2B, exe.dev, Modal) are hidden from the per-plugin sidebar group since they have no own settings page and already redirect to Environments. (#6341, @devinfoley)
• Inbox rows are cleaner - The amber "Planning" pill is removed from IssueRow; planning mode itself, the composer toggle, and the work-mode contract are untouched. (#6269, @cryppadotta)
• Plugin authoring guide reflects managed resources - The plugin authoring docs are updated for the current managed-capabilities model so plugin authors aren't writing against stale guidance. (#6261, @cryppadotta)

Fixes

• E2B heartbeats stop failing at 5/11 minutes - The workspace tar upload now strips macOS LIBARCHIVE.xattr.* PAX headers that GNU tar rejected on Linux, and timeoutMs/sleepAfter are refreshed per execute so E2B and Cloudflare sandboxes don't expire between heartbeats. (#6560, @devinfoley)
• Invite page no longer goes blank after sign-in - CompanyProvider and the invite landing page now share a single companies query shape, fixing the companiesQuery.data?.some is not a function crash from the React Query key-key collision. (#6433, @aronprins)
• Company creation survives wrapped prefix collisions - The retry detector now walks the Drizzle 0.45.x error cause chain for the companies_issue_prefix_idx unique constraint, so generated-prefix collisions retry instead of 500-ing. (#6423, @aronprins)
• Autocomplete works inside the new-issue dialog - Floating autocomplete menus rendered through body-level portals are now marked as allowed dialog-external UI, so completion items are selectable inside Radix Dialog without pointer events being eaten. (#6311, @cryppadotta)
• paperclip worktree init --force no longer wipes <repo>/.paperclip/worktrees/ - The init path stopped recursively removing the whole <repo>/.paperclip/ directory and now only rewrites config.json and .env. (#6240, @devinfoley)
• New secret form stays usable with long values - The shared Textarea primitive now applies min-w-0 max-w-full, so a long unbreakable secret no longer pushes the Create/Cancel buttons off-screen. (#6222, @devinfoley)
• Cold-start sandbox probes no longer time out - environmentProbe worker RPC timeout is raised to 120s so Modal (and other cold-start providers) finish booting before the probe fails. (#6289, @devinfoley)
• Docker builds find link-plugin-dev-sdk.mjs - The Dockerfile deps stage now copies the script before pnpm install, so the plugin-workspace-diff postinstall hook doesn't fail with Cannot find module. (#6338, @devinfoley)

v2026.517.0

v2026.517.0

Released: 2026-05-17

Highlights

• Grok Build is now a first-class local runtime - Paperclip can configure and run grok_local through the built-in adapter registry, with server, UI, CLI, transcript parsing, session handling, diagnostics, and focused adapter coverage. (#6087, @devinfoley)
• Issue documents can be locked for safer handoffs - Board-managed document locks preserve approved snapshots, route agent writes to derived documents, expose lock state in the UI and API, and record lock activity. (#6009, @cryppadotta)
• The Issues board scales better with large columns - High-volume Kanban columns now support compact cards, collapsed cold lanes, per-column reveal limits, persisted density controls, and matching UI coverage. (#5309, @eibrahim)
• Internationalization groundwork is in place - The board UI now has an i18next foundation, locale validation, runtime package declarations, and a validated catalog of supported locale resources for future translated surfaces. (#6058, #5943, #6070, @cryppadotta)

Improvements

• Live issue document updates refresh open boards - Document create, update, restore, and delete activity now invalidates the relevant list, active-document, and revision caches without forcing operators to reload the issue page. (#6005, @cryppadotta)
• Cloudflare sandbox execution is more reliable - The Cloudflare bridge now has larger execution capacity, SSE keepalives, safer stdout handling, sandbox-aware probe budgets, and a corrected Pi sandbox install path. (#5967, @devinfoley)
• LLM Wiki packaging and plugin migrations are safer - The packaged plugin now includes required assets, uses a visible bootstrap template, and validates and applies spaces migrations through explicit namespace-safe SQL. (#6010, @cryppadotta)
• PR verification runs faster - The GitHub PR workflow now fans out typecheck, release-registry checks, grouped general tests, and build work instead of serializing them behind one monolithic verify job. (#6137, @devinfoley)
• Multilingual issue flows have regression coverage - Board issue creation, server issue/comment/document round trips, and scoped wake payload rendering now cover Chinese, Japanese, and Hindi text preservation. (#6069, @cryppadotta)

Fixes

• Grok reasoning streams regain readable turn boundaries - Paperclip now restores missing line breaks between streamed Grok reasoning chunks so the live Working panel no longer merges separate thoughts into run-on text. (#6142, @devinfoley)
• Identifier-based wakeups bind to the right project workspace - Heartbeat wakeup context now carries the resolved projectId and canonicalizes identifier-style issue references before workspace resolution. (#6026, @devinfoley)
• Company export tolerates missing local run logs - Optional comment attribution metadata now degrades gracefully when historical heartbeat run log files are missing, preserving exportable issue comments. (#5960, @cryppadotta)
