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

+- `branch_name text null`
+- `provider_type text not null default 'local_fs'`
+  - `local_fs | git_worktree | adapter_managed | cloud_sandbox`
+- `provider_ref text null`
+- `derived_from_execution_workspace_id uuid null`
+- `last_used_at timestamptz not null default now()`
+- `opened_at timestamptz not null default now()`
+- `closed_at timestamptz null`
+- `cleanup_eligible_at timestamptz null`
+- `cleanup_reason text null`
+- `metadata jsonb null`
+- `created_at timestamptz not null default now()`
+- `updated_at timestamptz not null default now()`
+
+### Foreign keys
+
+- `company_id -> companies.id`
+- `project_id -> projects.id`
+- `project_workspace_id -> project_workspaces.id on delete set null`
+- `source_issue_id -> issues.id on delete set null`
+- `derived_from_execution_workspace_id -> execution_workspaces.id on delete set null`
+
+### Indexes
+
+- `(company_id, project_id, status)`
+- `(company_id, project_workspace_id, status)`
+- `(company_id, source_issue_id)`
+- `(company_id, last_used_at desc)`
+- `(company_id, branch_name)` non-unique
+
+## 3. Extend `issues`
+
+Add explicit workspace linkage.
+
+### New columns
+
+- `project_workspace_id uuid null`
+- `execution_workspace_id uuid null`
+- `execution_workspace_preference text null`
+  - `inherit | shared_workspace | isolated_workspace | operator_branch | reuse_existing`
+
+### Foreign keys
+
+- `project_workspace_id -> project_workspaces.id on delete set null`
+- `execution_workspace_id -> execution_workspaces.id on delete set null`
+
+### Backfill rules
+
+- all existing issues get null values
+- null should be interpreted as compatibility/inherit behavior
+
+### Invariants
+
+- if `project_workspace_id` is set, it must belong to the issue's project and company
+- if `execution_workspace_id` is set, it must belong to the issue's company
+- if `execution_workspace_id` is set, the referenced workspace's `project_id` must match the issue's `project_id`
+
+## 4. Add `issue_work_products`
+
+Create a new durable table for outputs.
+
+### Columns
+
+- `id uuid pk`
+- `company_id uuid not null`
+- `project_id uuid null`
+- `issue_id uuid not null`
+- `execution_workspace_id uuid null`
+- `runtime_service_id uuid null`

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