 Final slice 47 source passes workspace typecheck/build and 158 worker/startup

+## Slice 47 published; slice 48 response-owner audit
+
+Slice 47 is draft [#17690](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/17690),
+head `56c3601ea605b333141e86e0a810ed790fb6ce48`, based on #17687. Its final local
+checks passed; remote CI and Greptile are running. No merge or remote acceptance
+is claimed yet.
+
+Slice 48 starts accepted-response presentation recovery, excluding governed-review
+presentation. Its current helper conflates dormant/settled work and transient
+failures as false; resolve that owner contract before removing its backstop.
+The exact null-lease, digest, selected-answer, and publication-authority fences
+must remain intact. The existing external-chat baseline passed 33 selected cases;
+1,551 others were not selected. See the
+[response-presentation audit](2026-10-25-native-response-presentation-sleep-audit.md).
+
+The old action-required check on #17576 is Superagent Security Scan. Its existing
+voice-review findings and the older E2E failures remain outstanding. Work on the
+rest of the original stack continues; none of these gates are waived.

+# Native accepted-response presentation recovery
+
+Status: source and baseline audit; no worker migration yet.
+Branch: `codex/sleep-48-native-response-presentation`.
+Parent: [#17690](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/17690),
+`56c3601ea605b333141e86e0a810ed790fb6ce48`.
+
+## Reason for work
+
+A native run can have an accepted, committed result but no saved public reply.
+The finalization reconciler calls `repairCommittedNativeChatResponse` before
+skipping superseded status decisions. A later task decision must not erase an
+already accepted, still-authorized response. This work neither re-executes the
+provider nor changes issue disposition. It is separate from governed-review
+presentation, evidence reassessment, and result/workspace settlement.
+
+The current helper covers three variants of the same accepted-response duty:
+a saved same-agent/monitor continuation summary, an internal task's exact final
+assistant message, and an authorized external response-wake summary. Governed
+review responses are explicitly excluded and retain their own stricter owner.
+Do not merge the review response migration into this slice merely because both
+helpers live in the finalizer.
+
+## Existing authority and mutation boundary
+
+`repairCommittedNativeChatResponse` locks issue, run, and coordinator in that
+order. It requires native runtime; succeeded, failed, or timed_out with finishedAt;
+a committed coordinator with result/assessment/decision and a null leaseOwner.
+It refuses to replace a selected comment, including a deleted selected answer.
+It checks the accepted result's digest using either the coordinator format or
+the older authenticated control-plane format, retaining its bounded journal
+source lookup. It excludes externalChatReviewPresentation decisions.
+
+A lease that expired but still has an owner is not permission to publish: the
+helper requires actual release. Do not reuse the pending-effects lease rule.
+The outer periodic candidate query additionally respects saved nextAttemptAt.
+A future worker must preserve that fence where applicable and wake on release.
+
+Internal completion needs an exact final assistant event for the accepted turn,
+current internal-write authorization, and permission to create a new completion
+comment. Continuation summaries check provider-owned interactions. External
+response-wake summaries require the live registered chat authority, exact durable
+source provenance, and current presentation authorization. The chat owner validates
+source edits/deletion, membership, endpoint state/generation, consumed failure
+lanes, and ambiguous delivery. None of this policy belongs in a generic scheduler.
+
+The comment and presentationDecision are written in the same transaction, through
+the existing comment/publication owner. Notification follows durable commit.
+Recovery must not revive private provider narration, duplicate a target, publish
+under another source, or reinterpret the saved result using new task settings.
+
+## Contract gap to resolve before retiring polling
+
+The helper currently returns false for several distinct outcomes: already settled,
+structurally ineligible, authority unavailable/revoked, and transient SQL/lock or
+materialization failure. It logs most errors then returns false. A worker cannot
+use that boolean as a pending-work predicate: dropping false loses retryable
+responses, while retrying every false rescans ineligible history indefinitely.
+
+Keep the current boolean caller contract where needed, but expose the smallest
+owner-level result/error contract that distinguishes dormant history from concrete
+retry debt. Do not translate all authorization failures into retry forever. The
+registered authority lives in durable-chat-wakeup.ts and is installed by
+chat-channels/failed-run-retry.ts. Missing registration and later registration need
+an explicit lifecycle wake path, separate from committed database mutations.
+
+Audit and test the candidate predicate before introducing a worker. Startup scans
+must filter selected answers, irrelevant result kinds, review-owned responses,
+and other passive history. Full authorization stays in the locked owner; SQL
+prefiltering is not a new publication authorization mechanism. Measure actual query
+plans with substantial completed history before claiming bounded discovery.
+
+## Producer audit still required
+
+- Native coordinator decision commit, persisted-attention replay, and ownership
+  release; result/assessment/decision binding changes.
+- Run terminalization and accepted-turn event persistence, including late journal
+  arrival and direct recovery writers. Avoid waking on every unrelated progress
+  event merely because it shares the journal.
+- Presentation selection/materialization and existing-comment suppression. A
+  deleted selected answer remains settled rather than becoming repair debt.
+- Issue conversation/context changes and skipIssueComment behavior.
+- Exact chat source, action/admission, publication, endpoint generation/status,
+  principal/membership, continuation provenance, and ambiguous-delivery resolution.
+  Separate mutations that only revoke work from supported reactivation paths.
+- Live chat-authority registration/replacement/shutdown; subscription ownership.
+- Startup, first write during drain, retry during drain, resume, and shutdown.
+
+Use existing durable records, scoped transaction signals, and the shared scheduler.
+No new response queue table or permissive publication fallback is justified.
+Independent SQL/multi-process writes remain outside the existing local signal
+contract unless explicitly integrated; preserve the documented limitation.
+
+## Baseline evidence
+
+On the unchanged parent source, a fresh external PostgreSQL selection passed
+33 accepted-response cases in chat-channels.integration.test.ts. The remaining
+1,551 cases in that file were not selected, not claimed passed. The selection
+covers duplicate/concurrent repair, source/authority changes, digest changes,
+private disposition, cross-company/run binding, live heartbeat fences, the older
+port-bound digest, GitHub internal prose/attachments, failure-lane replacement,
+provider-dispatch reauthorization, selected/deleted answers, and contention.
+Log: `/tmp/sleep48-chat-baseline.log`. Database:
+`paperclip_sleep48_chat_baseline_20261025_test`.
+
+The monitor-continuation and control-plane-port suites currently require embedded
+PostgreSQL directly. Qualify a validated external-test path if needed before using
+their results on this host; do not count skipped or initialization-failed suites.
+No sleep or migrated-worker behavior is established by this baseline.
