Thinking Path

Paperclip manages AI agent work through tasks and run records.

Operators sometimes need an offline copy of one task and its execution history.

The API already exposes task, comment, activity, document, attachment, and run data.

A small command line tool can collect those records without changing the Paperclip server.

This pull request adds a self-contained Windows exporter.

The archive records API gaps and replaces old output only after writing a complete new ZIP.

Linked Issues or Issue Description

Problem or motivation
Operators need a portable ZIP of one task and its related records.

Proposed solution
Provide a standalone .NET 10 Windows executable that reads local Paperclip credentials and exports task data to a ZIP archive.

Alternatives considered
Manual API requests require repeated setup and do not produce a single archive.

What Changed

Add a self-contained .NET 10 console exporter.
Read the token from the local Paperclip auth file.
Export task details, comments, activity, documents, attachments, runs, events, and logs.
Record inaccessible sections in ERRORS.txt.
Replace an existing ZIP only after the new archive is complete.
Add build and run instructions.

Verification

dotnet publish tools/PaperclipExport/PaperclipExport.csproj -c Release -r win-x64 --self-contained true -p:PublishSingleFile=true -p:IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract=true
Exported NOV-88 from a live Paperclip instance.
Opened the resulting ZIP and confirmed task data, comments, activity, four runs, run events, and run logs.
Repeated the export and confirmed the existing ZIP was replaced.

Risks

Low code risk. The API base URL and company ID are fixed for the current deployment.
The exporter depends on the local auth file format and Paperclip API routes.

Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, tool use and code execution.

[Medium impact] The exporter copies one task's records and run history into a local archive.

Do not merge until credentials are protected and exports reliably preserve the requested task and its records.

Findings

Login token travels unencrypted ▶
Other users cannot load credentials ▶
Tasks beyond page one disappear ▶
Longer histories are cut short ▶
Attached files are missing ▶
Failed exports overwrite useful copies ▶

Fix with agent prompt

### Issue 1
tools/PaperclipExport/Program.cs:15-16
The exporter sends its bearer token and task data over plain HTTP to a LAN address. If someone can observe that traffic, they can read the token and reuse its access. Use HTTPS for non-loopback connections.

**How this was verified:** Every API request uses the HTTP `BaseUrl` with an `Authorization: Bearer` header, and the server accepts the token until it expires or is revoked.

### Issue 2
tools/PaperclipExport/Program.cs:7
`ConfigPath` points to one person's Windows profile, rather than the current user's profile as the README promises. Another Windows user with valid local credentials will fail at `File.ReadAllTextAsync` before any export starts. Resolve the current user's home directory or accept an explicit auth-file path.

```suggestion
var ConfigPath = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.UserProfile), ".paperclip", "auth.json");
```

### Issue 3
tools/PaperclipExport/Program.cs:22-24
Task lookup stops after the first 500 company issues. Any existing task outside that page is treated as missing and gets no task data in its archive. Fetch `/api/issues/{ticket}` directly; the server already resolves issue identifiers on that route. This also avoids downloading hundreds of unrelated tasks.

### Issue 4
tools/PaperclipExport/Program.cs:33
Comments, run events, and logs are saved after just one page:
- Tasks with more than 100 comments lose later comments.
- The server caps events at 1,000 and logs at 1 MiB, despite the larger limits requested here.

These successful responses add no gap to `ERRORS.txt`. Follow the comment cursor, event `seq`, and log `nextOffset` until all pages have been saved.

### Issue 5
tools/PaperclipExport/Program.cs:32
Attachment downloads require an absolute `url`, but the API returns a relative `contentPath` instead. The download branch therefore skips every attachment without recording an error. Fetch the returned `contentPath` and use `originalFilename` for the archive entry.

### Issue 6
tools/PaperclipExport/Program.cs:37
A failed task lookup still replaces the existing ZIP and returns success. For example, a timeout or expired token creates an archive containing only `ERRORS.txt`, then overwrites a previously useful export. Stop with a nonzero exit code and preserve the existing archive when no task was fetched. Optional section gaps can still be recorded separately.

---

For each issue above, determine whether it is valid and should be fixed. If so, fix it directly.

Summary

Adds a standalone .NET 10 exporter that collects task records into a ZIP.

Operators can package a task and its run history into a ZIP.

noverhead-germany explicitly states that the API base URL and company ID are fixed for the current deployment. Their lack of configurability was not reported.

Attached files are missing

Attachment downloads require an absolute url, but the API returns a relative contentPath instead. The download branch therefore skips every attachment without recording an error. Fetch the returned contentPath and use originalFilename for the archive entry.
