# Editing agent settings and pausing/resuming in TUI
Trigger: need to change an agent's role/job title/model/budget/heartbeat, or pause/resume/wake an agent via the Paperclip TUI.
Prerequisites: TUI running, Agents pane available.
Procedure:
1. Navigate to Agents>settings tab.
2. Move cursor to the target agent on the roster; confirm `▸` is on the intended row (pause keys act on the selected agent — misselection can pause a live agent).
3. `enter` on a field to edit inline; type value; `enter` saves, `esc` cancels. Heartbeat is a toggle.
4. Save issues a single `PATCH /api/agents/{id}` that merges into existing config (does not wipe working folder/instructions). Model change applies to the agent's next run, not an in-flight run.
5. To pause/resume/wake the selected agent press `p` / `P` / `w` respectively.
Verification / rollback: read the agent record back after saving to confirm fields persisted. If you accidentally pause an agent, resume with `P`; expect resume to return HTTP 200 and status to return to idle.
## Detailed procedure from completed turn
Both defects fixed, and the settings editor is in.
## The three things you reported
**Runs were every run in Paperclip.** Correct — 281 company-wide. They are now scoped to this project's tasks, resolved through each run's own task reference, and the task column shows `AUD-166` instead of a bare identifier. `A` toggles between "this project" and "everything in the company", because both are legitimate questions but not the same one.
**Scrolling instead of selecting.** The run list had no cursor at all — arrows only moved the viewport. There is now one cursor per tab, the selected row is highlighted, and the list scrolls only to keep the cursor visible. `enter` opens that run's log. Tested: picked the second run, its log opened.
**Roster could not be walked.** Same cause, same fix. The roster is sorted by name so the cursor stays on the same agent after a reload, and `▸` marks the row.
The log itself also became readable: it is a stream of token deltas, so deltas are gathered back into paragraphs while tool calls, prompts and turn markers become single lines:
```
15:55:57 toolcall_start
15:55:57 {"command": "pwd && ls -la && git log --oneline -10 2>/dev/null"}
15:55:58 toolcall_end
15:55:58 assistant: I'll start by inspecting the workspace…
```
## Agents>settings is built
Fourth tab. Role, job title, model, monthly budget, heartbeat. `enter` edits the chosen field inline, `esc` cancels; heartbeat is a toggle. Every save is one `PATCH /api/agents/{id}` that merges into that agent's existing configuration, so a model change does not wipe its working folder or instructions — verified by reading the record back after a save.
`p`, `P`, `w` pause, resume and wake, acting on the agent chosen on that tab.
**One thing you should know:** `Builder` was paused at 16:56 with `pauseReason: manual`, from the board key — that was my keystroke test, not you. I have resumed it and it is idle again. Sorry for the scare.
## Still missing, in order
1. **Work>review** — the ocr verdict beside the diff. That is now the only missing panel.
2. **Tool panes** — `t` opens Lazygit, Hunk, Yazi, Neovim, fzf or ocr in the current workspace; `esc` closes it.
`docs/WORKSPACES.md` is updated: 22 panels built across 8 workspaces, one panel missing, six tool panes to wire. Committed as `ec7e907`.
Which of those two next?
## Evidence
- Confidence: 80%
- Reason: Repeatable procedure with a safety caveat learned during the turn.; enriched with final-answer detail because persistence should be reusable
