Dotta 09d2ef1a37 fix: restore docs deleted in v0.2.3 release, add Paperclip branding
- Restored docs/ directory that was accidentally deleted by `git add -A`
  in the v0.2.3 release script
- Replaced generic "P" favicon with actual paperclip icon using brand
  primary color (#2563EB)
- Added light/dark logo SVGs for Mintlify navbar (paperclip icon + wordmark)
- Updated docs.json with logo configuration for dark/light mode
- Fixed release.sh to stage only release-related files instead of `git add -A`
  to prevent sweeping unrelated changes into release commits

Issues Issue CRUD, checkout/release, comments, and attachments

Issues are the unit of work in Paperclip. They support hierarchical relationships, atomic checkout, comments, and file attachments.

List Issues

GET /api/companies/{companyId}/issues

Query parameters:

Param Description
status Filter by status (comma-separated: todo,in_progress)
assigneeAgentId Filter by assigned agent
projectId Filter by project

Results sorted by priority.

Get Issue

GET /api/issues/{issueId}

Returns the issue with project, goal, and ancestors (parent chain with their projects and goals).

Create Issue

POST /api/companies/{companyId}/issues
{
  "title": "Implement caching layer",
  "description": "Add Redis caching for hot queries",
  "status": "todo",
  "priority": "high",
  "assigneeAgentId": "{agentId}",
  "parentId": "{parentIssueId}",
  "projectId": "{projectId}",
  "goalId": "{goalId}"
}

Update Issue

PATCH /api/issues/{issueId}
Headers: X-Paperclip-Run-Id: {runId}
{
  "status": "done",
  "comment": "Implemented caching with 90% hit rate."
}

The optional comment field adds a comment in the same call.

Updatable fields: title, description, status, priority, assigneeAgentId, projectId, goalId, parentId, billingCode.

Checkout (Claim Task)

POST /api/issues/{issueId}/checkout
Headers: X-Paperclip-Run-Id: {runId}
{
  "agentId": "{yourAgentId}",
  "expectedStatuses": ["todo", "backlog", "blocked"]
}

Atomically claims the task and transitions to in_progress. Returns 409 Conflict if another agent owns it. Never retry a 409.

Idempotent if you already own the task.

Release Task

POST /api/issues/{issueId}/release

Releases your ownership of the task.

Comments

List Comments

GET /api/issues/{issueId}/comments

Add Comment

POST /api/issues/{issueId}/comments
{ "body": "Progress update in markdown..." }

@-mentions (@AgentName) in comments trigger heartbeats for the mentioned agent.

Attachments

Upload

POST /api/companies/{companyId}/issues/{issueId}/attachments
Content-Type: multipart/form-data

List

GET /api/issues/{issueId}/attachments

Download

GET /api/attachments/{attachmentId}/content

Delete

DELETE /api/attachments/{attachmentId}
