+description: >
+  Review a pull request or contribution deeply, explain it tutorial-style for a
+  maintainer, and produce a polished report artifact such as HTML or Markdown.
+  Use when asked to analyze a PR, explain a contributor's design decisions,
+  compare it with similar systems, or prepare a merge recommendation.
+---
+
+# PR Report Skill
+
+Produce a maintainer-grade review of a PR, branch, or large contribution.
+
+Default posture:
+
+- understand the change before judging it
+- explain the system as built, not just the diff
+- separate architectural problems from product-scope objections
+- make a concrete recommendation, not a vague impression
+
+## When to Use
+
+Use this skill when the user asks for things like:
+
+- "review this PR deeply"
+- "explain this contribution to me"
+- "make me a report or webpage for this PR"
+- "compare this design to similar systems"
+- "should I merge this?"
+
+## Outputs
+
+Common outputs:
+
+- standalone HTML report in `tmp/reports/...`
+- Markdown report in `report/` or another requested folder
+- short maintainer summary in chat
+
+If the user asks for a webpage, build a polished standalone HTML artifact with
+clear sections and readable visual hierarchy.
+
+Resources bundled with this skill:
+
+- `references/style-guide.md` for visual direction and report presentation rules
+- `assets/html-report-starter.html` for a reusable standalone HTML/CSS starter
+
+## Workflow
+
+### 1. Acquire and frame the target
+
+Work from local code when possible, not just the GitHub PR page.
+
+Gather:
+
+- target branch or worktree
+- diff size and changed subsystems
+- relevant repo docs, specs, and invariants
+- contributor intent if it is documented in PR text or design docs
+
+Start by answering: what is this change *trying* to become?
+
+### 2. Build a mental model of the system
+
+Do not stop at file-by-file notes. Reconstruct the design:
+
+- what new runtime or contract exists
+- which layers changed: db, shared types, server, UI, CLI, docs
+- lifecycle: install, startup, execution, UI, failure, disablement
+- trust boundary: what code runs where, under what authority
+
+For large contributions, include a tutorial-style section that teaches the
+system from first principles.
+
+### 3. Review like a maintainer
+
+Findings come first. Order by severity.
+
+Prioritize:
+
+- behavioral regressions
+- trust or security gaps
+- misleading abstractions
+- lifecycle and operational risks
+- coupling that will be hard to unwind
+- missing tests or unverifiable claims
+
+Always cite concrete file references when possible.
+
+### 4. Distinguish the objection type
+
+Be explicit about whether a concern is:
+
+- product direction
+- architecture
+- implementation quality
+- rollout strategy
+- documentation honesty
+
+Do not hide an architectural objection inside a scope objection.
+
+### 5. Compare to external precedents when needed
+
+If the contribution introduces a framework or platform concept, compare it to
+similar open-source systems.
+
+When comparing:
+
+- prefer official docs or source
+- focus on extension boundaries, context passing, trust model, and UI ownership
+- extract lessons, not just similarities
+
+Good comparison questions:
+
+- Who owns lifecycle?
+- Who owns UI composition?
+- Is context explicit or ambient?
+- Are plugins trusted code or sandboxed code?
+- Are extension points named and typed?
+
+### 6. Make the recommendation actionable
+
+Do not stop at "merge" or "do not merge."
+
+Choose one:
+
+- merge as-is
+- merge after specific redesign
+- salvage specific pieces
+- keep as design research
+
+If rejecting or narrowing, say what should be kept.
+
+Useful recommendation buckets:
+
+- keep the protocol/type model
+- redesign the UI boundary
+- narrow the initial surface area
+- defer third-party execution
+- ship a host-owned extension-point model first
+
+### 7. Build the artifact
+
+Suggested report structure:
+
+1. Executive summary
+2. What the PR actually adds
+3. Tutorial: how the system works
+4. Strengths
+5. Main findings
+6. Comparisons
+7. Recommendation
+
+For HTML reports:
+
+- use intentional typography and color
+- make navigation easy for long reports
+- favor strong section headings and small reference labels
+- avoid generic dashboard styling
+
+Before building from scratch, read `references/style-guide.md`.
+If a fast polished starter is helpful, begin from `assets/html-report-starter.html`
+and replace the placeholder content with the actual report.
+
+### 8. Verify before handoff
+
+Check:
+
+- artifact path exists
+- findings still match the actual code
+- any requested forbidden strings are absent from generated output
+- if tests were not run, say so explicitly
+
+## Review Heuristics
+
+### Plugin and platform work
+
+Watch closely for:
+
+- docs claiming sandboxing while runtime executes trusted host processes
+- module-global state used to smuggle React context
+- hidden dependence on render order
+- plugins reaching into host internals instead of using explicit APIs
+- "capabilities" that are really policy labels on top of fully trusted code
+
+### Good signs
+
+- typed contracts shared across layers
+- explicit extension points
+- host-owned lifecycle
+- honest trust model
+- narrow first rollout with room to grow
+
+## Final Response
+
+In chat, summarize:
+
+- where the report is
+- your overall call
+- the top one or two reasons
+- whether verification or tests were skipped
+
+Keep the chat summary shorter than the report itself.

+# PR Report Style Guide
+
+Use this guide when the user wants a report artifact, especially a webpage.
+
+## Goal
+
+Make the report feel like an editorial review, not an internal admin dashboard.
+The page should make a long technical argument easy to scan without looking
+generic or overdesigned.
+
+## Visual Direction
+
+Preferred tone:
+
+- editorial
+- warm
+- serious
+- high-contrast
+- handcrafted, not corporate SaaS
+
+Avoid:
+
+- default app-shell layouts
+- purple gradients on white
+- generic card dashboards
+- cramped pages with weak hierarchy
+- novelty fonts that hurt readability
+
+## Typography
+
+Recommended pattern:
+
+- one expressive serif or display face for major headings
+- one sturdy sans-serif for body copy and UI labels
+
+Good combinations:
+
+- Newsreader + IBM Plex Sans
+- Source Serif 4 + Instrument Sans
+- Fraunces + Public Sans
+- Libre Baskerville + Work Sans
+
+Rules:
+
+- headings should feel deliberate and large
+- body copy should stay comfortable for long reading
+- reference labels and badges should use smaller dense sans text
+
+## Layout
+
+Recommended structure:
+
+- a sticky side or top navigation for long reports
+- one strong hero summary at the top
+- panel or paper-like sections for each major topic
+- multi-column card grids for comparisons and strengths
+- single-column body text for findings and recommendations
+
+Use generous spacing. Long-form technical reports need breathing room.
+
+## Color
+
+Prefer muted paper-like backgrounds with one warm accent and one cool counterweight.
+
+Suggested token categories:
+
+- `--bg`
+- `--paper`
+- `--ink`
+- `--muted`
+- `--line`
+- `--accent`
+- `--good`
+- `--warn`
+- `--bad`
+
+The accent should highlight navigation, badges, and important labels. Do not
+let accent colors dominate body text.
+
+## Useful UI Elements
+
+Include small reusable styles for:
+
+- summary metrics
+- badges
+- quotes or callouts
+- finding cards
+- severity labels
+- reference labels
+- comparison cards
+- responsive two-column sections
+
+## Motion
+
+Keep motion restrained.
+
+Good:
+
+- soft fade/slide-in on first load
+- hover response on nav items or cards
+
+Bad:
+
+- constant animation
+- floating blobs
+- decorative motion with no reading benefit
+
+## Content Presentation
+
+Even when the user wants design polish, clarity stays primary.
+
+Good structure for long reports:
+
+1. executive summary
+2. what changed
+3. tutorial explanation
+4. strengths
+5. findings
+6. comparisons
+7. recommendation
+
+The exact headings can change. The important thing is to separate explanation
+from judgment.
+
+## References
+
+Reference labels should be visually quiet but easy to spot.
+
+Good pattern:
+
+- small muted text
+- monospace or compact sans
+- keep them close to the paragraph they support
+
+## Starter Usage
+
+If you need a fast polished base, start from:
+
+- `assets/html-report-starter.html`
+
+Customize:
+
+- fonts
+- color tokens
+- hero copy
+- section ordering
+- card density
+
+Do not preserve the placeholder sections if they do not fit the actual report.

 - keep highlights short and concrete
 - spell out upgrade actions for breaking changes
 
+### Inline PR and contributor attribution
+
+When a bullet item clearly maps to a merged pull request, add inline attribution at the
+end of the entry in this format:
+
+```
+- **Feature name** — Description. ([#123](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/123), @contributor1, @contributor2)
+```
+
+Rules:
+
+- Only add a PR link when you can confidently trace the bullet to a specific merged PR.
+  Use merge commit messages (`Merge pull request #N from user/branch`) to map PRs.
+- List the contributor(s) who authored the PR. Use GitHub usernames, not real names or emails.
+- If multiple PRs contributed to a single bullet, list them all: `([#10](url), [#12](url), @user1, @user2)`.
+- If you cannot determine the PR number or contributor with confidence, omit the attribution

 ```
 
 Omit empty sections except `Highlights`, `Improvements`, and `Fixes`, which should usually exist.
 
+The `Contributors` section should always be included. List every person who authored
+commits in the release range, @-mentioning them by their **GitHub username** (not their
+real name or email). To find GitHub usernames:
+
+1. Extract usernames from merge commit messages: `git log v{last}..HEAD --oneline --merges` — the branch prefix (e.g. `from username/branch`) gives the GitHub username.
+2. For noreply emails like `user@users.noreply.github.com`, the username is the part before `@`.
+3. For contributors whose username is ambiguous, check `gh api users/{guess}` or the PR page.
+
+**Never expose contributor email addresses.** Use `@username` only.
+
+Exclude bot accounts (e.g. `lockfile-bot`, `dependabot`) from the list. List contributors
+in alphabetical order by GitHub username (case-insensitive).

+## Worktree-local Instances
+
+When developing from multiple git worktrees, do not point two Paperclip servers at the same embedded PostgreSQL data directory.
+
+Instead, create a repo-local Paperclip config plus an isolated instance for the worktree:
+
+```sh
+paperclipai worktree init
+# or create the git worktree and initialize it in one step:
+pnpm paperclipai worktree:make paperclip-pr-432
+```
+
+This command:
+
+- writes repo-local files at `.paperclip/config.json` and `.paperclip/.env`
+- creates an isolated instance under `~/.paperclip-worktrees/instances/<worktree-id>/`
+- when run inside a linked git worktree, mirrors the effective git hooks into that worktree's private git dir
+- picks a free app port and embedded PostgreSQL port
+- by default seeds the isolated DB in `minimal` mode from your main instance via a logical SQL snapshot
+
+Seed modes:
+
+- `minimal` keeps core app state like companies, projects, issues, comments, approvals, and auth state, preserves schema for all tables, but omits row data from heavy operational history such as heartbeat runs, wake requests, activity logs, runtime services, and agent session state
+- `full` makes a full logical clone of the source instance
+- `--no-seed` creates an empty isolated instance
+
+After `worktree init`, both the server and the CLI auto-load the repo-local `.paperclip/.env` when run inside that worktree, so normal commands like `pnpm dev`, `paperclipai doctor`, and `paperclipai db:backup` stay scoped to the worktree instance.
+
+That repo-local env also sets `PAPERCLIP_IN_WORKTREE=true`, which the server can use for worktree-specific UI behavior such as an alternate favicon.
+
+Print shell exports explicitly when needed:
+
+```sh
+paperclipai worktree env
+# or:
+eval "$(paperclipai worktree env)"
+```

+### Worktree CLI Reference
+
+**`pnpm paperclipai worktree init [options]`** — Create repo-local config/env and an isolated instance for the current worktree.
+
+| Option | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `--name <name>` | Display name used to derive the instance id |
+| `--instance <id>` | Explicit isolated instance id |
+| `--home <path>` | Home root for worktree instances (default: `~/.paperclip-worktrees`) |
+| `--from-config <path>` | Source config.json to seed from |
+| `--from-data-dir <path>` | Source PAPERCLIP_HOME used when deriving the source config |
+| `--from-instance <id>` | Source instance id (default: `default`) |
+| `--server-port <port>` | Preferred server port |
+| `--db-port <port>` | Preferred embedded Postgres port |
+| `--seed-mode <mode>` | Seed profile: `minimal` or `full` (default: `minimal`) |
+| `--no-seed` | Skip database seeding from the source instance |
+| `--force` | Replace existing repo-local config and isolated instance data |
+
+Examples:
+
+```sh
+paperclipai worktree init --no-seed
+paperclipai worktree init --seed-mode full
+paperclipai worktree init --from-instance default
+paperclipai worktree init --from-data-dir ~/.paperclip
+paperclipai worktree init --force
+```
+
+**`pnpm paperclipai worktree:make <name> [options]`** — Create `~/NAME` as a git worktree, then initialize an isolated Paperclip instance inside it. This combines `git worktree add` with `worktree init` in a single step.
+
+| Option | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `--start-point <ref>` | Remote ref to base the new branch on (e.g. `origin/main`) |
+| `--instance <id>` | Explicit isolated instance id |
+| `--home <path>` | Home root for worktree instances (default: `~/.paperclip-worktrees`) |
+| `--from-config <path>` | Source config.json to seed from |
+| `--from-data-dir <path>` | Source PAPERCLIP_HOME used when deriving the source config |
+| `--from-instance <id>` | Source instance id (default: `default`) |
+| `--server-port <port>` | Preferred server port |
+| `--db-port <port>` | Preferred embedded Postgres port |
+| `--seed-mode <mode>` | Seed profile: `minimal` or `full` (default: `minimal`) |
+| `--no-seed` | Skip database seeding from the source instance |
+| `--force` | Replace existing repo-local config and isolated instance data |
+
+Examples:
+
+```sh
+pnpm paperclipai worktree:make paperclip-pr-432
+pnpm paperclipai worktree:make my-feature --start-point origin/main
+pnpm paperclipai worktree:make experiment --no-seed
+```
+
+**`pnpm paperclipai worktree env [options]`** — Print shell exports for the current worktree-local Paperclip instance.
+
+| Option | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `-c, --config <path>` | Path to config file |
+| `--json` | Print JSON instead of shell exports |
+
+Examples:
+
+```sh
+pnpm paperclipai worktree env
+pnpm paperclipai worktree env --json
+eval "$(pnpm paperclipai worktree env)"
+```
+
+For project execution worktrees, Paperclip can also run a project-defined provision command after it creates or reuses an isolated git worktree. Configure this on the project's execution workspace policy (`workspaceStrategy.provisionCommand`). The command runs inside the derived worktree and receives `PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACE_*`, `PAPERCLIP_PROJECT_ID`, `PAPERCLIP_AGENT_ID`, and `PAPERCLIP_ISSUE_*` environment variables so each repo can bootstrap itself however it wants.

+## Core Invariants
+
+- 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 release
+### 1. Start the release train
 
-Use this when you want an installable prerelease without changing `latest`.
+Use this to compute the next version, create or resume the branch, create or resume a dedicated worktree, and push the branch to GitHub.
+
+```bash
+./scripts/release-start.sh patch
+```
+
+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
-# 0. Preflight the canary candidate
 ./scripts/release-preflight.sh canary patch
-
-# 1. Draft or update the stable changelog for the intended stable version
-VERSION=0.2.8
-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.

-
-# 2. Preview the canary release
 ./scripts/release.sh patch --canary --dry-run
-
-# 3. Publish the canary

-# 4. Smoke test what users will actually install

+```
 
-# Users install with:
+Users install canaries with:
+
+```bash
 npx paperclipai@canary onboard
 ```
 
-Result:
+### 4. Publish stable
-
-- 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 working tree returns to clean after the script finishes
-- after stable `0.2.7`, a patch canary targets `0.2.8-canary.0`, never `0.2.7-canary.N`
-
-### Stable release
-
-Use this only after the canary SHA is good enough to become the public default.
 
 ```bash
-# 0. Start from the vetted commit
-git checkout master
-git pull
-
-# 1. Preflight the stable candidate
 ./scripts/release-preflight.sh stable patch
-
-# 2. Confirm the stable changelog exists
-VERSION=0.2.8
-ls "releases/v${VERSION}.md"
-
-# 3. Preview the stable publish
 ./scripts/release.sh patch --dry-run
-
-# 4. Publish the stable release to npm and create the local release commit + tag
 ./scripts/release.sh patch
-
+git push public-gh HEAD --follow-tags
-# 5. Push the release commit and tag
-git push origin HEAD:master --follow-tags
-
-# 6. Create or update the GitHub Release from the pushed tag
 ./scripts/create-github-release.sh X.Y.Z
 ```
 
-Result:
+Then open a PR from `release/X.Y.Z` to `master` and merge without squash or rebase.
 
-- npm gets stable `X.Y.Z` under dist-tag `latest`
+## Release Branches
-- a local git commit and tag `vX.Y.Z` are created
-- after push, GitHub gets the matching Release
-- the website and announcement steps still need to be handled manually
 
-### Emergency rollback
+Paperclip uses one release branch per target stable version:
 
-If `latest` is broken after publish, repoint it to the last known good stable version first, then work on the fix.
+- `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
-# Preview
+./scripts/release-start.sh <patch|minor|major>
-./scripts/rollback-latest.sh X.Y.Z --dry-run
-
-# Roll back latest for every public package
-./scripts/rollback-latest.sh X.Y.Z
 ```
 
-This does **not** unpublish anything. It only moves the `latest` dist-tag back to the last good stable release.
+Useful options:
-
-### Standalone onboarding smoke
-
-You already have a script for isolated onboarding verification:
 
 ```bash
-HOST_PORT=3232 DATA_DIR=./data/release-smoke-canary PAPERCLIPAI_VERSION=canary ./scripts/docker-onboard-smoke.sh
+./scripts/release-start.sh patch --dry-run
-HOST_PORT=3233 DATA_DIR=./data/release-smoke-stable PAPERCLIPAI_VERSION=latest ./scripts/docker-onboard-smoke.sh
+./scripts/release-start.sh minor --worktree-dir ../paperclip-release-0.4.0
+./scripts/release-start.sh patch --no-push
 ```
 
-This is the best existing fit when you want:
+The script is intentionally idempotent:
 
-- a standalone Paperclip data dir
+- if `release/X.Y.Z` already exists locally, it reuses it
-- a dedicated host port
+- if the branch already exists on the remote, it resumes it locally
-- an end-to-end `npx paperclipai ... onboard` check
+- 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
 
-If you want to exercise onboarding from a fresh local checkout rather than npm, use:
+### 2. Write the stable changelog early
 
-```bash
+Create or update:
-./scripts/clean-onboard-git.sh
-```
-
-That is not a required release step every time, but it is a useful higher-confidence check when onboarding is the main risk area or when you need to verify what the current codebase does before publishing.
-
-If you want to exercise onboarding from the current committed ref in your local repo, use:
-
-```bash
-./scripts/clean-onboard-ref.sh
-PAPERCLIP_PORT=3234 ./scripts/clean-onboard-ref.sh
-./scripts/clean-onboard-ref.sh HEAD
-```
-
-This uses the current committed `HEAD` in a detached temp worktree. It does **not** include uncommitted local edits.
-
-### GitHub Actions release
-
-There is also a manual workflow at [`.github/workflows/release.yml`](../.github/workflows/release.yml). It is designed for npm trusted publishing via GitHub OIDC instead of long-lived npm tokens.
-
-Use it from the Actions tab:
-
-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 `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 release commit and tag, and create the GitHub Release
-
-## Release Checklist
-
-### Before any publish
-
-- [ ] The working tree is clean, including untracked files
-- [ ] The target branch and SHA are the ones you actually want to release
-- [ ] The required verification gate passed on that exact SHA
-- [ ] The bump type is correct for the user-visible impact
-- [ ] The stable changelog file exists or is ready to be written at `releases/vX.Y.Z.md`
-- [ ] You know which previous stable version you would roll back to if needed
-
-### Before a canary
-
-- [ ] You are intentionally testing something that should be installable before it becomes default
-- [ ] You are comfortable with users installing it via `npx paperclipai@canary onboard`
-- [ ] You understand that each canary is a new immutable npm version such as `1.2.3-canary.1`
-
-### Before a stable
-
-- [ ] The candidate has already passed smoke testing
-- [ ] The changelog should be the stable version only, for example `v1.2.3`
-- [ ] You are ready to push the release commit and tag immediately after npm publish
-- [ ] You are ready to create the GitHub Release immediately after the push
-- [ ] You have a post-release website / announcement plan
-
-### After a stable
-
-- [ ] `npm view paperclipai@latest version` matches the new stable version
-- [ ] The git tag exists on GitHub
-- [ ] The GitHub Release exists and uses `releases/vX.Y.Z.md`
-- [ ] The website changelog is updated
-- [ ] Any announcement copy matches the shipped release, not the canary
-
-## Verification Gate
-
-The repository standard is:
-
-```bash
-pnpm -r typecheck
-pnpm test:run
-pnpm build
-```
-
-This matches [`.github/workflows/pr-verify.yml`](../.github/workflows/pr-verify.yml). Run it before claiming a release candidate is ready.
-
-For release work, prefer:
-
-```bash
-./scripts/release-preflight.sh canary <patch|minor|major>
-./scripts/release-preflight.sh stable <patch|minor|major>
-```
-
-That script runs the verification gate and prints the computed target versions before you publish anything.
-
-## Versioning Policy
-
-### Stable versions
-
-Stable releases use normal semver:
-
-- `patch` for bug fixes
-- `minor` for additive features, endpoints, and additive migrations
-- `major` for destructive migrations, removed APIs, or other breaking behavior
-
-### Canary versions
-
-Canaries are semver prereleases of the **intended stable version**:
-
-- `1.2.3-canary.0`
-- `1.2.3-canary.1`
-- `1.2.3-canary.2`
-
-That gives you three useful properties:
-
-1. Users can install the prerelease explicitly with `@canary`
-2. `latest` stays safe
-3. The stable changelog can remain just `v1.2.3`
-
-We do **not** create separate changelog files for canary versions.
-
-Concrete example:
-
-- if the latest stable release is `0.2.7`, a patch canary is `0.2.8-canary.0`
-- `0.2.7-canary.0` is invalid, because `0.2.7` is already the shipped stable version

-## GitHub Actions and npm Trusted Publishing
+## GitHub Actions Release
 
-If you want GitHub to own the actual npm publish, use [`.github/workflows/release.yml`](../.github/workflows/release.yml) together with npm trusted publishing.
+There is also a manual workflow at [`.github/workflows/release.yml`](../.github/workflows/release.yml).
 
-Recommended setup:
+Use it from the Actions tab on the relevant `release/X.Y.Z` branch:
 
-1. Configure the GitHub Actions workflow as a trusted publisher for **every public package** on npm
+1. Choose `Release`
-2. Use the `npm-release` GitHub environment with required reviewers
+2. Choose `channel`: `canary` or `stable`
-3. Run stable publishes from `master` only
+3. Choose `bump`: `patch`, `minor`, or `major`
-4. Keep the workflow manual via `workflow_dispatch`
+4. Choose whether this is a `dry_run`
+5. Run it from the release branch, not from `master`
 
-Why this is the right shape:
+The workflow:
 
-- no long-lived npm token needs to live in GitHub secrets
+- reruns `typecheck`, `test:run`, and `build`
-- reviewers can approve the publish step at the environment gate
+- gates publish behind the `npm-release` environment
-- the workflow reruns verification on the release SHA before publish
+- can publish canaries without touching `latest`
-- stable and canary use the same mechanics
+- 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.

-## Rollback Strategy
-
-The default rollback strategy is **dist-tag rollback, then fix forward**.
-
-Why:
-
-- npm versions are immutable
-- users need `npx paperclipai onboard` to recover quickly
-- moving `latest` back is faster and safer than trying to delete history
-
-Rollback procedure:
-
-1. identify the last known good stable version
-2. run `./scripts/rollback-latest.sh <version>`
-3. verify `npm view paperclipai@latest version`
-4. fix forward with a new stable release

+# Issue worktree support
+
+Status: experimental, runtime-only, not shipping as a user-facing feature yet.
+
+This branch contains the runtime and seeding work needed for issue-scoped worktrees:
+
+- project execution workspace policy support
+- issue-level execution workspace settings
+- git worktree realization for isolated issue execution
+- optional command-based worktree provisioning
+- seeded worktree fixes for secrets key compatibility
+- seeded project workspace rebinding to the current git worktree
+
+We are intentionally not shipping the UI for this yet. The runtime code remains in place, but the main UI entrypoints are hard-gated off for now.
+
+## What works today
+
+- projects can carry execution workspace policy in the backend
+- issues can carry execution workspace settings in the backend
+- heartbeat execution can realize isolated git worktrees
+- runtime can run a project-defined provision command inside the derived worktree
+- seeded worktree instances can keep local-encrypted secrets working
+- seeded worktree instances can rebind same-repo project workspace paths onto the current git worktree
+
+## Hidden UI entrypoints
+
+These are the current user-facing UI surfaces for the feature, now intentionally disabled:
+
+- project settings:
+  - `ui/src/components/ProjectProperties.tsx`
+  - execution workspace policy controls
+  - git worktree base ref / branch template / parent dir
+  - provision / teardown command inputs
+
+- issue creation:
+  - `ui/src/components/NewIssueDialog.tsx`
+  - isolated issue checkout toggle
+  - defaulting issue execution workspace settings from project policy
+
+- issue editing:
+  - `ui/src/components/IssueProperties.tsx`
+  - issue-level workspace mode toggle
+  - defaulting issue execution workspace settings when project changes
+
+- agent/runtime settings:
+  - `ui/src/adapters/runtime-json-fields.tsx`
+  - runtime services JSON field, which is part of the broader workspace-runtime support surface
+
+## Why the UI is hidden
+
+- the runtime behavior is still being validated
+- the workflow and operator ergonomics are not final
+- we do not want to expose a partially-baked user-facing feature in issues, projects, or settings
+
+## Re-enable plan
+
+When this is ready to ship:
+
+- re-enable the gated UI sections in the files above
+- review wording and defaults for project and issue controls
+- decide which agent/runtime settings should remain advanced-only
+- add end-to-end product-level verification for the full UI workflow

+# Agent Chat UI and Issue-Backed Conversations
+
+## Context
+
+`PAP-475` asks two related questions:
+
+1. What UI kit should Paperclip use if we add a chat surface with an agent?
+2. How should chat fit the product without breaking the current issue-centric model?
+
+This is not only a component-library decision. In Paperclip today:
+
+- V1 explicitly says communication is `tasks + comments only`, with no separate chat system.
+- Issues already carry assignment, audit trail, billing code, project linkage, goal linkage, and active run linkage.
+- Live run streaming already exists on issue detail pages.
+- Agent sessions already persist by `taskKey`, and today `taskKey` falls back to `issueId`.
+- The OpenClaw gateway adapter already supports an issue-scoped session key strategy.
+
+That means the cheapest useful path is not "add a second messaging product inside Paperclip." It is "add a better conversational UI on top of issue and run primitives we already have."
+
+## Current Constraints From the Codebase
+
+### Durable work object
+
+The durable object in Paperclip is the issue, not a chat thread.
+
+- `IssueDetail` already combines comments, linked runs, live runs, and activity into one timeline.
+- `CommentThread` already renders markdown comments and supports reply/reassignment flows.
+- `LiveRunWidget` already renders streaming assistant/tool/system output for active runs.
+
+### Session behavior
+
+Session continuity is already task-shaped.
+
+- `heartbeat.ts` derives `taskKey` from `taskKey`, then `taskId`, then `issueId`.
+- `agent_task_sessions` stores session state per company + agent + adapter + task key.
+- OpenClaw gateway supports `sessionKeyStrategy=issue|fixed|run`, and `issue` already matches the Paperclip mental model well.
+
+That means "chat with the CEO about this issue" naturally maps to one durable session per issue today without inventing a second session system.
+
+### Billing behavior
+
+Billing is already issue-aware.
+
+- `cost_events` can attach to `issueId`, `projectId`, `goalId`, and `billingCode`.
+- heartbeat context already propagates issue linkage into runs and cost rollups.
+
+If chat leaves the issue model, Paperclip would need a second billing story. That is avoidable.
+
+## UI Kit Recommendation
+
+## Recommendation: `assistant-ui`
+
+Use `assistant-ui` as the chat presentation layer.
+
+Why it fits Paperclip:
+
+- It is a real chat UI kit, not just a hook.
+- It is composable and aligned with shadcn-style primitives, which matches the current UI stack well.
+- It explicitly supports custom backends, which matters because Paperclip talks to agents through issue comments, heartbeats, and run streams rather than direct provider calls.
+- It gives us polished chat affordances quickly: message list, composer, streaming text, attachments, thread affordances, and markdown-oriented rendering.
+
+Why not make "the Vercel one" the primary choice:
+
+- Vercel AI SDK is stronger today than the older "just `useChat` over `/api/chat`" framing. Its transport layer is flexible and can support custom protocols.
+- But AI SDK is still better understood here as a transport/runtime protocol layer than as the best end-user chat surface for Paperclip.
+- Paperclip does not need Vercel to own message state, persistence, or the backend contract. Paperclip already has its own issue, run, and session model.
+
+So the clean split is:
+
+- `assistant-ui` for UI primitives
+- Paperclip-owned runtime/store for state, persistence, and transport
+- optional AI SDK usage later only if we want its stream protocol or client transport abstraction
+
+## Product Options
+
+### Option A: Separate chat object
+
+Create a new top-level chat/thread model unrelated to issues.
+
+Pros:
+
+- clean mental model if users want freeform conversation
+- easy to hide from issue boards
+
+Cons:
+
+- breaks the current V1 product decision that communication is issue-centric
+- needs new persistence, billing, session, permissions, activity, and wakeup rules
+- creates a second "why does this exist?" object beside issues
+- makes "pick up an old chat" a separate retrieval problem
+
+Verdict: not recommended for V1.
+
+### Option B: Every chat is an issue
+
+Treat chat as a UI mode over an issue. The issue remains the durable record.
+
+Pros:
+
+- matches current product spec
+- billing, runs, comments, approvals, and activity already work
+- sessions already resume on issue identity
+- works with all adapters, including OpenClaw, without new agent auth or a second API surface
+
+Cons:
+
+- some chats are not really "tasks" in a board sense
+- onboarding and review conversations may clutter normal issue lists
+
+Verdict: best V1 foundation.
+
+### Option C: Hybrid with hidden conversation issues
+
+Back every conversation with an issue, but allow a conversation-flavored issue mode that is hidden from default execution boards unless promoted.
+
+Pros:
+
+- preserves the issue-centric backend
+- gives onboarding/review chat a cleaner UX
+- preserves billing and session continuity
+
+Cons:
+
+- requires extra UI rules and possibly a small schema or filtering addition
+- can become a disguised second system if not kept narrow
+
+Verdict: likely the right product shape after a basic issue-backed MVP.
+
+## Recommended Product Model
+
+### Phase 1 product decision
+
+For the first implementation, chat should be issue-backed.
+
+More specifically:
+
+- the board opens a chat surface for an issue
+- sending a message is a comment mutation on that issue
+- the assigned agent is woken through the existing issue-comment flow
+- streaming output comes from the existing live run stream for that issue
+- durable assistant output remains comments and run history, not an extra transcript store
+
+This keeps Paperclip honest about what it is:
+
+- the control plane stays issue-centric
+- chat is a better way to interact with issue work, not a new collaboration product
+
+### Onboarding and CEO conversations
+
+For onboarding, weekly reviews, and "chat with the CEO", use a conversation issue rather than a global chat tab.
+
+Suggested shape:
+
+- create a board-initiated issue assigned to the CEO
+- mark it as conversation-flavored in UI treatment
+- optionally hide it from normal issue boards by default later
+- keep all cost/run/session linkage on that issue
+
+This solves several concerns at once:
+
+- no separate API key or direct provider wiring is needed
+- the same CEO adapter is used
+- old conversations are recovered through normal issue history
+- the CEO can still create or update real child issues from the conversation
+
+## Session Model
+
+### V1
+
+Use one durable conversation session per issue.
+
+That already matches current behavior:
+
+- adapter task sessions persist against `taskKey`
+- `taskKey` already falls back to `issueId`
+- OpenClaw already supports an issue-scoped session key
+
+This means "resume the CEO conversation later" works by reopening the same issue and waking the same agent on the same issue.
+
+### What not to add yet
+
+Do not add multi-thread-per-issue chat in the first pass.
+
+If Paperclip later needs several parallel threads on one issue, then add an explicit conversation identity and derive:
+
+- `taskKey = issue:<issueId>:conversation:<conversationId>`
+- OpenClaw `sessionKey = paperclip:conversation:<conversationId>`
+
+Until that requirement becomes real, one issue == one durable conversation is the simpler and better rule.
+
+## Billing Model
+
+Chat should not invent a separate billing pipeline.
+
+All chat cost should continue to roll up through the issue:
+
+- `cost_events.issueId`
+- project and goal rollups through existing relationships
+- issue `billingCode` when present
+
+If a conversation is important enough to exist, it is important enough to have a durable issue-backed audit and cost trail.
+
+This is another reason ephemeral freeform chat should not be the default.
+
+## UI Architecture
+
+### Recommended stack
+
+1. Keep Paperclip as the source of truth for message history and run state.
+2. Add `assistant-ui` as the rendering/composer layer.
+3. Build a Paperclip runtime adapter that maps:
+   - issue comments -> user/assistant messages
+   - live run deltas -> streaming assistant messages
+   - issue attachments -> chat attachments
+4. Keep current markdown rendering and code-block support where possible.
+
+### Interaction flow
+
+1. Board opens issue detail in "Chat" mode.
+2. Existing comment history is mapped into chat messages.
+3. When the board sends a message:
+   - `POST /api/issues/{id}/comments`
+   - optionally interrupt the active run if the UX wants "send and replace current response"
+4. Existing issue comment wakeup logic wakes the assignee.
+5. Existing `/issues/{id}/live-runs` and `/issues/{id}/active-run` data feeds drive streaming.
+6. When the run completes, durable state remains in comments/runs/activity as it does now.
+
+### Why this fits the current code
+
+Paperclip already has most of the backend pieces:
+
+- issue comments
+- run timeline
+- run log and event streaming
+- markdown rendering
+- attachment support
+- assignee wakeups on comments
+
+The missing piece is mostly the presentation and the mapping layer, not a new backend domain.
+
+## Agent Scope
+
+Do not launch this as "chat with every agent."
+
+Start narrower:
+
+- onboarding chat with CEO
+- workflow/review chat with CEO
+- maybe selected exec roles later
+
+Reasons:
+
+- it keeps the feature from becoming a second inbox/chat product
+- it limits permission and UX questions early
+- it matches the stated product demand
+
+If direct chat with other agents becomes useful later, the same issue-backed pattern can expand cleanly.
+
+## Recommended Delivery Phases
+
+### Phase 1: Chat UI on existing issues
+
+- add a chat presentation mode to issue detail
+- use `assistant-ui`
+- map comments + live runs into the chat surface
+- no schema change
+- no new API surface
+
+This is the highest-leverage step because it tests whether the UX is actually useful before product model expansion.
+
+### Phase 2: Conversation-flavored issues for CEO chat
+
+- add a lightweight conversation classification
+- support creation of CEO conversation issues from onboarding and workflow entry points
+- optionally hide these from normal backlog/board views by default
+
+The smallest implementation could be a label or issue metadata flag. If it becomes important enough, then promote it to a first-class issue subtype later.
+
+### Phase 3: Promotion and thread splitting only if needed
+
+Only if we later see a real need:
+
+- allow promoting a conversation to a formal task issue
+- allow several threads per issue with explicit conversation identity
+
+This should be demand-driven, not designed up front.
+
+## Clear Recommendation
+
+If the question is "what should we use?", the answer is:
+
+- use `assistant-ui` for the chat UI
+- do not treat raw Vercel AI SDK UI hooks as the main product answer
+- keep chat issue-backed in V1
+- use the current issue comment + run + session + billing model rather than inventing a parallel chat subsystem
+
+If the question is "how should we think about chat in Paperclip?", the answer is:
+
+- chat is a mode of interacting with issue-backed agent work
+- not a separate product silo
+- not an excuse to stop tracing work, cost, and session history back to the issue
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+### Immediate implementation target
+
+The most defensible first build is:
+
+- add a chat tab or chat-focused layout on issue detail
+- back it with the currently assigned agent on that issue
+- use `assistant-ui` primitives over existing comments and live run events
+
+### Defer these until proven necessary
+
+- standalone global chat objects
+- multi-thread chat inside one issue
+- chat with every agent in the org
+- a second persistence layer for message history
+- separate cost tracking for chats

+summary: Gemini CLI local adapter setup and configuration
+---
+
+The `gemini_local` adapter runs Google's Gemini CLI locally. It supports session persistence with `--resume`, skills injection, and structured `stream-json` output parsing.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Gemini CLI installed (`gemini` command available)
+- `GEMINI_API_KEY` or `GOOGLE_API_KEY` set, or local Gemini CLI auth configured
+
+## Configuration Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Required | Description |
+|-------|------|----------|-------------|
+| `cwd` | string | Yes | Working directory for the agent process (absolute path; created automatically if missing when permissions allow) |
+| `model` | string | No | Gemini model to use. Defaults to `auto`. |
+| `promptTemplate` | string | No | Prompt used for all runs |
+| `instructionsFilePath` | string | No | Markdown instructions file prepended to the prompt |
+| `env` | object | No | Environment variables (supports secret refs) |
+| `timeoutSec` | number | No | Process timeout (0 = no timeout) |
+| `graceSec` | number | No | Grace period before force-kill |
+| `yolo` | boolean | No | Pass `--approval-mode yolo` for unattended operation |
+
+## Session Persistence
+
+The adapter persists Gemini session IDs between heartbeats. On the next wake, it resumes the existing conversation with `--resume` so the agent retains context.
+
+Session resume is cwd-aware: if the working directory changed since the last run, a fresh session starts instead.
+
+If resume fails with an unknown session error, the adapter automatically retries with a fresh session.
+
+## Skills Injection
+
+The adapter symlinks Paperclip skills into the Gemini global skills directory (`~/.gemini/skills`). Existing user skills are not overwritten.
+
+## Environment Test
+
+Use the "Test Environment" button in the UI to validate the adapter config. It checks:
+
+- Gemini CLI is installed and accessible
+- Working directory is absolute and available (auto-created if missing and permitted)
+- API key/auth hints (`GEMINI_API_KEY` or `GOOGLE_API_KEY`)
+- A live hello probe (`gemini --output-format json "Respond with hello."`) to verify CLI readiness

 - Prompts are piped via stdin (Codex receives "-" prompt argument).
 - Paperclip auto-injects local skills into Codex personal skills dir ("$CODEX_HOME/skills" or "~/.codex/skills") when missing, so Codex can discover "$paperclip" and related skills.
 - Some model/tool combinations reject certain effort levels (for example minimal with web search enabled).

+Use when:
+- You want Paperclip to run the Gemini CLI locally on the host machine
+- You want Gemini chat sessions resumed across heartbeats with --resume
+- You want Paperclip skills injected locally without polluting the global environment
+
+Don't use when:
+- You need webhook-style external invocation (use http or openclaw_gateway)
+- You only need a one-shot script without an AI coding agent loop (use process)
+- Gemini CLI is not installed on the machine that runs Paperclip
+
+Core fields:
+- cwd (string, optional): default absolute working directory fallback for the agent process (created if missing when possible)
+- instructionsFilePath (string, optional): absolute path to a markdown instructions file prepended to the run prompt
+- promptTemplate (string, optional): run prompt template
+- model (string, optional): Gemini model id. Defaults to auto.
+- sandbox (boolean, optional): run in sandbox mode (default: false, passes --sandbox=none)
+- command (string, optional): defaults to "gemini"
+- extraArgs (string[], optional): additional CLI args
+- env (object, optional): KEY=VALUE environment variables
+
+Operational fields:
+- timeoutSec (number, optional): run timeout in seconds
+- graceSec (number, optional): SIGTERM grace period in seconds
+
+Notes:
+- Runs use positional prompt arguments, not stdin.
+- Sessions resume with --resume when stored session cwd matches the current cwd.
+- Paperclip auto-injects local skills into \`~/.gemini/skills/\` via symlinks, so the CLI can discover both credentials and skills in their natural location.
+- Authentication can use GEMINI_API_KEY / GOOGLE_API_KEY or local Gemini CLI login.
