From c9226de30b453abf93e364c070ca5d6f3c0cf44a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dotta <34892728+cryppadotta@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 08:00:09 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] fix(heartbeat): leave a preparing run to the next controller after a graceful drain (#20514) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - The heartbeat service runs each agent task. A graceful shutdown (SIGTERM) drains running native runs and hands them to the next server. > - The drain detaches the native runner session and releases the run's lease with the recovery state `awaiting_runner_reattach`. > - An in-process execution can still be in run preparation at that moment, for example while the run-log journal claim waits on a slow or unavailable object store. > - When that execution then lost writer authority (`run_log_writer_authority_lost`), the generic failure path settled the run as `adapter_failed`. The next server then saw `native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`, and replay stayed blocked. > - This pull request makes a preparing execution that a restart detached stop quietly, the same way a detaching native session already does. > - The benefit is that a slow preparation step plus a graceful restart no longer turns into a failed run that needs a manual retry. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What happened?** In restart-chaos wave `w-20261110T092411-s701` (local, A1/C1, K1/K2, ST7 read-after-write lag), three of four tasks failed with R3 `retry_needed`. For run `218a0425`, the K2 SIGTERM drain wrote `native.recovery.transition` with `awaiting_runner_reattach` and released the lease. About 3 s later, the old server's in-process execution, which was still in `runOutput.begin`, got `run_log_writer_authority_lost`. `runCompletion.failRun` then settled the run `adapter_failed` with a durable settlement. The next server found `native_continuation_requires_reconciliation` and did not replay the run. **Expected behavior** The drain hands the run to the next server. The old execution must not settle it. A real authority loss outside a drain must still fail the run. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Start a native run recovery, and hold it in preparation (slow store, ST1 outage wait, or ST7 lag). 2. Send SIGTERM so `drainRunningRunsForShutdown` suspends the run. 3. Let preparation continue and check writer authority. The run settles `adapter_failed`. **Paperclip version or commit** `master` at 914e3ae14f. ## What Changed - `native-session-executor.ts`: add `watchNativeRestartDetach(runId)`. It records the run's restart-detach marker when the execution starts. It reports `true` only when a later restart detach for that run happens. A marker left by an earlier detach does not count. - `heartbeat.ts`: the execution creates the watcher at start. In the inner failure path (before `runCompletion.failRun`) and the setup failure path (before `runCompletion.failRunSetup`), if a restart detached the run and no provider dispatch started, the execution logs the handoff and stops without settling. It uses the same teardown flag (`nativeSessionResumeScheduled`) as `NativeControllerDetachedForRestartError`. - `heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts`: add a red-before/green-after regression. A recovery execution is drained during preparation and then checks the real run-log writer authority. With the drain, the run stays `running` with `awaiting_runner_reattach`, and the next controller resumes it. Without the drain (the lease only expired), the run still fails `adapter_failed`. ## Verification - `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts`: 98 passed. Before the fix, the new drained case failed with `status: failed, errorCode: adapter_failed`. - `cd server && pnpm typecheck`: passed. - Live restart-chaos wave: see the comment below. ## Risks - Low risk. The new branch applies only when this process's own restart detach for this run happened after the execution started, and before any provider dispatch. Typed native outcomes (startup cleanup, ownership unverified, cancellation pending, resume scheduled) keep their earlier handling because they are checked first. - Previous-release story (upgrade-safe run state): no persisted shape, launch identity or pack identity changes. The marker is process-local. State saved by the previous release carries forward unchanged. The deploy-lands-mid-run case is the regression test itself: a drain lands during recovery preparation and the next controller resumes the same run. ## Model Used - Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, with tool use and code execution in Claude Code. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [ ] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [ ] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 --- ...eartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts | 97 +++++++++++++++++++ server/src/services/heartbeat.ts | 20 +++- server/src/services/heartbeat/recovery.ts | 3 + .../services/heartbeat/shutdown-handoff.ts | 13 +++ .../native-runtime/native-session-executor.ts | 1 + 5 files changed, 133 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 server/src/services/heartbeat/shutdown-handoff.ts diff --git a/server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts b/server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts index 49a7dd3385f..9a5b1cf6209 100644 --- a/server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts +++ b/server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts @@ -35,6 +35,30 @@ import { createDeliveryWorkCoordinator } from "../services/delivery-work-coordin import { reconcileNativeFinalizations, registerOwnershipReconciliationWork } from "../services/native-runtime/native-finalization-reconciler.js";
