[USER] - You are agent 1a468c87-5e16-454e-bac3-23a8bc5cf7f6 (Dan). Continue your Paperclip work. Execution contract: - Start actionable work in this heartbeat; do not stop at a plan unless the issue asks for planning. - Leave durable progress in comments, documents, or work products, then update the issue to a clear final disposition before ending the heartbeat. - Comments, documents, screenshots, work products, and `Remaining` bullets are evidence, not valid liveness paths by themselves. - Final disposition checklist: mark `done` when complete; use `in_review` only with a real reviewer, approval, interaction, or monitor path; use `blocked` only with first-class blockers or a named unblock owner/action; create delegated follow-up issues with blockers when another agent owns the next step; keep `in_progress` only when a live continuation path exists. - Prefer the smallest verification that proves the change; do not default to full workspace typecheck/build/test on every heartbeat unless the task scope warrants it. - Use child issues for parallel or long delegated work instead of polling agents, sessions, or processes. - If woken by a human comment on a dependency-blocked issue, respond or triage the comment without treating the blocked deliverable work as unblocked. - Create child issues directly when you know what needs to be done; use issue-thread interactions when the board/user must choose suggested tasks, answer structured questions, or confirm a proposal. - To ask for that input, create an interaction on the current issue with POST /api/issues/{issueId}/interactions using kind suggest_tasks, ask_user_questions, or request_confirmation. Use continuationPolicy wake_assignee when you need to resume after a response; for request_confirmation this resumes only after acceptance. - When you intentionally restart follow-up work on a completed assigned issue, include structured `resume: true` with the POST /api/issues/{issueId}/comments or PATCH /api/issues/{issueId} comment payload. Generic agent comments on closed issues are inert by default. - For plan approval, update the plan document first, then create request_confirmation targeting the latest plan revision with idempotencyKey confirmation:{issueId}:plan:{revisionId}. Wait for acceptance before creating implementation subtasks, and create a fresh confirmation after superseding board/user comments if approval is still needed. - If blocked, mark the issue blocked and name the unblock owner and action. - Respect budget, pause/cancel, approval gates, and company boundaries. [ASSISTANT] Inbox empty, no assignments. Nothing to do this heartbeat — exiting cleanly.

Each heartbeat, you wake up, check your work, do something useful, and exit. You do not run continuously. ## Authentication Env vars auto-injected: `PAPERCLIP_AGENT_ID`, `PAPERCLIP_COMPANY_ID`, `PAPERCLIP_API_URL`, `PAPERCLIP_RUN_ID`. Optional wake-context vars may also be present: `PAPERCLIP_TASK_ID` (issue/task that triggered this wake), `PAPERCLIP_WAKE_REASON` (why this run was triggered), `PAPERCLIP_WAKE_COMMENT_ID` (specific comment that triggered this wake), `PAPERCLIP_APPROVAL_ID`, `PAPERCLIP_APPROVAL_STATUS`, and `PAPERCLIP_LINKED_ISSUE_IDS` (comma-separated). For local adapters, `PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` is auto-injected as a short-lived run JWT. For non-local adapters, your operator should set `PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` in adapter config. All requests use `Authorization: Bearer $PAPERCLIP_API_KEY`. All endpoints under `/api`, all JSON. Never hard-code the API URL. Some adapters also inject `PAPERCLIP_WAKE_PAYLOAD_JSON` on comment-driven wakes. When present, it contains the compact issue summary and the ordered batch of new comment payloads for this wake. Use it first. For comment wakes, treat that batch as the highest-priority new context in the heartbeat: in your first task update or response, acknowledge the latest comment and say how it changes your next action before broad repo exploration or generic wake boilerplate. Only fetch the thread/comments API immediately when `fallbackFetchNeeded` is true or you need broader context than the inline batch provides. Manual local CLI mode (outside heartbeat runs): use `paperclipai agent local-cli <agent-id-or-shortname> --company-id <company-id>` to install Paperclip skills for Claude/Codex and print/export the required `PAPERCLIP_*` environment variables for that agent identity. **Run audit trail:** You MUST include `-H 'X-Paperclip-Run-Id: $PAPERCLIP_RUN_ID'` on ALL API requests that modify issues (checkout, update, comment, create subtask, release). This links your actions to the current heartbeat run for traceability. ## The Heartbeat Procedure Follow these steps every time you wake up: **Scoped-wake fast path.** If the user message includes a **"Paperclip Resume Delta"** or **"Paperclip Wake Payload"** section that names a specific issue, **skip Steps 1–4 entirely**. Go straight to **Step 5 (Checkout)** for that issue, then continue with Steps 6–9. The scoped wake already tells you which issue to work on — do NOT call `/api/agents/me`, do NOT fetch your inbox, do NOT pick work. Just checkout, read the wake context, do the work, and update. **Step 1 — Identity.** If not already in context, `GET /api/agents/me` to get your id, companyId, role, chainOfCommand, and budget. **Step 2 — Approval follow-up (when triggered).** If `PAPERCLIP_APPROVAL_ID` is set (or wake reason indicates approval resolution), review the approval first: - `GET /api/approvals/{approvalId}` - `GET /api/approvals/{approvalId}/issues` - For each linked issue: - close it (`PATCH` status to `done`) if the approval fully resolves requested work, or - add a markdown comment explaining why it remains open and what happens next. Always include links to the approval and issue in that comment. **Step 3 — Get assignments.** Prefer `GET /api/agents/me/inbox-lite` for the normal heartbeat inbox. It returns the compact assignment list you need for prioritization. Fall back to `GET /api/companies/{companyId}/issues?assigneeAgentId={your-agent-id}&status=todo,in_progress,in_review,blocked` only when you need the full issue objects. **Step 4 — Pick work.** Priority: `in_progress` → `in_review` (if woken by a comment on it — check `PAPERCLIP_WAKE_COMMENT_ID`) → `todo`. Skip `blocked` un [ASSISTANT] API is unreachable (exit code 7, connection refused). This matches the pattern from prior heartbeats where local resource pressure caused the Paperclip API to be unavailable. No work can be done this heartbeat. Exiting cleanly to avoid adding load to the strained host.

Always include links to the approval and issue in that comment. **Step 3 — Get assignments.** Prefer `GET /api/agents/me/inbox-lite` for the normal heartbeat inbox. It returns the compact assignment list you need for prioritization. Fall back to `GET /api/companies/{companyId}/issues?assigneeAgentId={your-agent-id}&status=todo,in_progress,in_review,blocked` only when you need the full issue objects. **Step 4 — Pick work.** Priority: `in_progress` → `in_review` (if woken by a comment on it — check `PAPERCLIP_WAKE_COMMENT_ID`) → `todo`.

Each heartbeat, you wake up, check your work, do something useful, and exit. You do not run continuously. ## Authentication Env vars auto-injected: `PAPERCLIP_AGENT_ID`, `PAPERCLIP_COMPANY_ID`, `PAPERCLIP_API_URL`, `PAPERCLIP_RUN_ID`. Optional wake-context vars may also be present: `PAPERCLIP_TASK_ID` (issue/task that triggered this wake), `PAPERCLIP_WAKE_REASON` (why this run was triggered), `PAPERCLIP_WAKE_COMMENT_ID` (specific comment that triggered this wake), `PAPERCLIP_APPROVAL_ID`, `PAPERCLIP_APPROVAL_STATUS`, and `PAPERCLIP_LINKED_ISSUE_IDS` (comma-separated). For local adapters, `PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` is auto-injected as a short-lived run JWT. For non-local adapters, your operator should set `PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` in adapter config. All requests use `Authorization: Bearer $PAPERCLIP_API_KEY`. All endpoints under `/api`, all JSON. Never hard-code the API URL. Some adapters also inject `PAPERCLIP_WAKE_PAYLOAD_JSON` on comment-driven wakes. When present, it contains the compact issue summary and the ordered batch of new comment payloads for this wake. Use it first. For comment wakes, treat that batch as the highest-priority new context in the heartbeat: in your first task update or response, acknowledge the latest comment and say how it changes your next action before broad repo exploration or generic wake boilerplate. Only fetch the thread/comments API immediately when `fallbackFetchNeeded` is true or you need broader context than the inline batch provides. Manual local CLI mode (outside heartbeat runs): use `paperclipai agent local-cli <agent-id-or-shortname> --company-id <company-id>` to install Paperclip skills for Claude/Codex and print/export the required `PAPERCLIP_*` environment variables for that agent identity. **Run audit trail:** You MUST include `-H 'X-Paperclip-Run-Id: $PAPERCLIP_RUN_ID'` on ALL API requests that modify issues (checkout, update, comment, create subtask, release). This links your actions to the current heartbeat run for traceability. ## The Heartbeat Procedure Follow these steps every time you wake up: **Scoped-wake fast path.** If the user message includes a **"Paperclip Resume Delta"** or **"Paperclip Wake Payload"** section that names a specific issue, **skip Steps 1–4 entirely**. Go straight to **Step 5 (Checkout)** for that issue, then continue with Steps 6–9. The scoped wake already tells you which issue to work on — do NOT call `/api/agents/me`, do NOT fetch your inbox, do NOT pick work. Just checkout, read the wake context, do the work, and update. **Step 1 — Identity.** If not already in context, `GET /api/agents/me` to get your id, companyId, role, chainOfCommand, and budget. **Step 2 — Approval follow-up (when triggered).** If `PAPERCLIP_APPROVAL_ID` is set (or wake reason indicates approval resolution), review the approval first: - `GET /api/approvals/{approvalId}` - `GET /api/approvals/{approvalId}/issues` - For each linked issue: - close it (`PATCH` status to `done`) if the approval fully resolves requested work, or - add a markdown comment explaining why it remains open and what happens next.

Skip `blocked` un [ASSISTANT] The Paperclip API is timing out again - the server connects but doesn't respond within the timeout window, consistent with prior heartbeats where the host is under resource pressure. Memory context confirms this is a recurring pattern. The inbox has been consistently empty in past heartbeats, and adding more API requests would only strain the host further. Exiting this heartbeat cleanly. No actionable work to proceed with until the API recovers.

Each heartbeat, you wake up, check your work, do something useful, and exit. You do not run continuously. ## Authentication Env vars auto-injected: `PAPERCLIP_AGENT_ID`, `PAPERCLIP_COMPANY_ID`, `PAPERCLIP_API_URL`, `PAPERCLIP_RUN_ID`. Optional wake-context vars may also be present: `PAPERCLIP_TASK_ID` (issue/task that triggered this wake), `PAPERCLIP_WAKE_REASON` (why this run was triggered), `PAPERCLIP_WAKE_COMMENT_ID` (specific comment that triggered this wake), `PAPERCLIP_APPROVAL_ID`, `PAPERCLIP_APPROVAL_STATUS`, and `PAPERCLIP_LINKED_ISSUE_IDS` (comma-separated). For local adapters, `PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` is auto-injected as a short-lived run JWT. For non-local adapters, your operator should set `PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` in adapter config. All requests use `Authorization: Bearer $PAPERCLIP_API_KEY`. All endpoints under `/api`, all JSON. Never hard-code the API URL. Some adapters also inject `PAPERCLIP_WAKE_PAYLOAD_JSON` on comment-driven wakes. When present, it contains the compact issue summary and the ordered batch of new comment payloads for this wake. Use it first. For comment wakes, treat that batch as the highest-priority new context in the heartbeat: in your first task update or response, acknowledge the latest comment and say how it changes your next action before broad repo exploration or generic wake boilerplate. Only fetch the thread/comments API immediately when `fallbackFetchNeeded` is true or you need broader context than the inline batch provides. Manual local CLI mode (outside heartbeat runs): use `paperclipai agent local-cli <agent-id-or-shortname> --company-id <company-id>` to install Paperclip skills for Claude/Codex and print/export the required `PAPERCLIP_*` environment variables for that agent identity. **Run audit trail:** You MUST include `-H 'X-Paperclip-Run-Id: $PAPERCLIP_RUN_ID'` on ALL API requests that modify issues (checkout, update, comment, create subtask, release). This links your actions to the current heartbeat run for traceability. ## The Heartbeat Procedure Follow these steps every time you wake up: **Scoped-wake fast path.** If the user message includes a **"Paperclip Resume Delta"** or **"Paperclip Wake Payload"** section that names a specific issue, **skip Steps 1–4 entirely**. Go straight to **Step 5 (Checkout)** for that issue, then continue with Steps 6–9. The scoped wake already tells you which issue to work on — do NOT call `/api/agents/me`, do NOT fetch your inbox, do NOT pick work. Just checkout, read the wake context, do the work, and update. **Step 1 — Identity.** If not already in context, `GET /api/agents/me` to get your id, companyId, role, chainOfCommand, and budget. **Step 2 — Approval follow-up (when triggered).** If `PAPERCLIP_APPROVAL_ID` is set (or wake reason indicates approval resolution), review the approval first: - `GET /api/approvals/{approvalId}` - `GET /api/approvals/{approvalId}/issues` - For each linked issue: - close it (`PATCH` status to `done`) if the approval fully resolves requested work, or - add a markdown comment explaining why it remains open and what happens next. Always include links to the approval and issue in that comment. **Step 3 — Get assignments.** Prefer `GET /api/agents/me/inbox-lite` for the normal heartbeat inbox. It returns the compact assignment list you need for prioritization. Fall back to `GET /api/companies/{companyId}/issues?assigneeAgentId={your-agent-id}&status=todo,in_progress,in_review,blocked` only when you need the full issue objects. **Step 4 — Pick work.** Priority: `in_progress` → `in_review` (if woken by a comment on it — check `PAPERCLIP_WAKE_COMMENT_ID`) → `todo`. Skip `blocked` un [ASSISTANT] The Paperclip API is unreachable (connection refused on port 3100). This matches the prior context that noted "Paperclip API on localhost timing out." This is the same connectivity issue that has been blocking previous heartbeats on this issue. I cannot reach the API to checkout, update, or comment on AIS-15. The issue AIS-15 has a description of "test description" with no concrete acceptance criteria, and the last run timed out for the same reason. There is no actual work to perform here beyond the API connectivity blocker. Since I cannot reach the Paperclip API, I cannot update the issue status or post a comment. The blocker is the Paperclip API being unavailable at `http://desktop-r1t5ld1-2.tail9fd706.ts.net:3100`. This requires Mike to ensure the Paperclip server is running and accessible on the Tailscale network before this issue can be progressed. **Status:** Blocked by Paperclip API connectivity. The server at `desktop-r1t5ld1-2.tail9fd706.ts.net:3100` is refusing connections. No API calls can complete until the service is restored.

[USER] - You are agent 8f7554c9-18b7-431f-ac15-36cf9143ee85 (Matteo). Continue your Paperclip work. Execution contract: - Start actionable work in this heartbeat; do not stop at a plan unless the issue asks for planning. - Leave durable progress in comments, documents, or work products, then update the issue to a clear final disposition before ending the heartbeat. - Comments, documents, screenshots, work products, and `Remaining` bullets are evidence, not valid liveness paths by themselves. - Final disposition checklist: mark `done` when complete; use `in_review` only with a real reviewer, approval, interaction, or monitor path; use `blocked` only with first-class blockers or a named unblock owner/action; create delegated follow-up issues with blockers when another agent owns the next step; keep `in_progress` only when a live continuation path exists. - Prefer the smallest verification that proves the change; do not default to full workspace typecheck/build/test on every heartbeat unless the task scope warrants it. - Use child issues for parallel or long delegated work instead of polling agents, sessions, or processes. - If woken by a human comment on a dependency-blocked issue, respond or triage the comment without treating the blocked deliverable work as unblocked. - Create child issues directly when you know what needs to be done; use issue-thread interactions when the board/user must choose suggested tasks, answer structured questions, or confirm a proposal. - To ask for that input, create an interaction on the current issue with POST /api/issues/{issueId}/interactions using kind suggest_tasks, ask_user_questions, or request_confirmation. Use continuationPolicy wake_assignee when you need to resume after a response; for request_confirmation this resumes only after acceptance. - When you intentionally restart follow-up work on a completed assigned issue, include structured `resume: true` with the POST /api/issues/{issueId}/comments or PATCH /api/issues/{issueId} comment payload. Generic agent comments on closed issues are inert by default. - For plan approval, update the plan document first, then create request_confirmation targeting the latest plan revision with idempotencyKey confirmation:{issueId}:plan:{revisionId}. Wait for acceptance before creating implementation subtasks, and create a fresh confirmation after superseding board/user comments if approval is still needed. - If blocked, mark the issue blocked and name the unblock owner and action. - Respect budget, pause/cancel, approval gates, and company boundaries.

The Tailscale hostname doesn't resolve, and localhost:3100 is timing out. The Paperclip server appears to be down or the Tailscale VPN connection is not active in this session. There is no work I can do without API access. The `PAPERCLIP_API_URL` points to a Tailscale address that is unreachable from this environment right now. To unblock: Tailscale needs to be running and connected so the `*.tail9fd706.ts.net` hostname resolves, or the Paperclip API URL needs to be updated to an accessible endpoint (e.g., localhost if the server is running locally).
