DottaandPaperclip 94e4218310 refactor(heartbeat): extract runtime service coordination (#15980)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Heartbeat runs start workspace services and receive service reports
from adapters.
> - Service context updates and readiness notices are spread through the
executor.
> - These steps share a clear responsibility, while process and lease
ownership already live elsewhere.
> - This pull request puts service coordination in one module.
> - The executor retains the same dispatch and cleanup order.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Maintenance of heartbeat execution. This is the first of two final
focused extractions after #15973. Related #15653 changes runtime
callback origins; this PR preserves that policy.

**Current behavior**
`heartbeat.ts` has 4,372 lines and 178,459 bytes. It validates service
intents, starts services, persists adapter reports and primary URLs, and
posts readiness notices inline.

**Proposed behavior**
`heartbeat/runtime-services.ts` owns those steps in 212 lines.
`heartbeat.ts` becomes 4,215 lines and 173,657 bytes. Process registries
and leases stay in `workspace-runtime.ts`. The executor still releases
services in its original cleanup path.

**Reason and benefit**
Service coordination has named preparation and result phases. The
execution path is easier to read without changing service lifetime or
moving cleanup policy.

**Breaking changes**
None intended. All 140 named public heartbeat exports remain available,
including `postWorkspaceReadyComment`.

## What Changed

- Move service-intent validation, startup, adapter-result persistence,
and readiness notices into one module.
- Preserve mutable run context, primary URL selection, notice error
handling, and release ordering.
- Add four public-path tests using disposable PostgreSQL, real HTTP
service processes, and a fixture adapter.
- Extend browser recovery acceptance to fetch the actual service URL,
check the readiness notice, and verify listener cleanup.
- Update the module map and acceptance instructions.

## Verification

- Before extraction: all five tests pass, including the four new
characterization cases and existing notice formatting test.
- After extraction: all 17 tests pass across service coordination,
notice formatting, output recording, and runtime authorization.
- Structural comparison confirms that all moved bodies and the
reconstructed executor match the baseline. Module boundary checks pass.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass.
- Extended isolated browser acceptance: **2/2 pass** (3.7 minutes),
covering actual service readiness, recovery, bounded failure, and
cleanup. At `8e33e2032de681082f128470eb8ab0711b382afe`, all 55
current-head checks pass (two configured skips), including hosted
full-suite tests. Greptile is 5/5 with no findings or review threads.

## Risks

- Service context must be persisted before adapter dispatch and before
run completion. The tests inspect both phases and preserve the first
service URL when adapter reports arrive.
- Notice failures must remain nonfatal. The public-path test checks both
startup and result notices.
- Shared services must survive run cleanup; ephemeral services must stop
after success or failure. Tests use actual processes and HTTP requests.
- The fixture supplies UUID service report IDs, as required by the
database. The existing generated-ID fallback for reports without IDs is
outside this extraction.
- Test adapters and services are local fixtures; these tests make no
live provider calls.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, assisted with reasoning, code edits, tool
execution, and verification. The exact deployment model ID and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 37913e4907 refactor(heartbeat): extract run output recording (#15969)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Heartbeat runs stream adapter output and persist execution results.
> - Output recording currently sits inside the executor beside admission
and cleanup.
> - Log handles, sequence numbers, progress writes, and excerpt buffers
share one attempt lifetime.
> - This pull request moves that state and its callbacks into a
per-attempt recorder.
> - The executor keeps dispatch and finalization visible, while
finalization reads live output values.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Maintenance of heartbeat execution. This PR follows #15966, which is now
merged. The branch is rebased onto `master`; `git range-diff` confirms
that its extraction patch is unchanged.

**Current behavior**
`heartbeat.ts` has 4,740 lines and 195,258 bytes. It directly owns log
handles, excerpt buffers, output sequence numbers, progress flushes, and
adapter event callbacks.

**Proposed behavior**
`run-output.ts` owns the per-attempt recorder. The main file has 4,561
lines and 188,950 bytes; the recorder has 209 lines and 7,757 bytes.

**Reason and benefit**
Output state has one explicit lifetime and interface. The shared log
store and finalization policy retain their original owners. Related open
output work includes #12539 and #15524; this PR does not change
redaction policy.

**Breaking changes**
None intended. Public flush constants and log formatting exports remain
available from `heartbeat.ts`.

## What Changed

- Move log initialization, redaction, excerpts, progress persistence,
live delivery, and adapter callbacks into `createHeartbeatRunOutput`.
- Preserve the acquired log handle if later setup fails. Bind callbacks
to the execution-start run row.
- Pass live excerpt getters to success and failure completion so output
arriving during finalization remains visible.
- Add three real-database public-path tests. Extend browser acceptance
to inspect persisted worker stdout and output byte counts.
- Update the module map.

## Verification

- Before extraction: 23 tests pass, including all three new output
characterization cases.
- After extraction: 45 tests pass across output, log formatting, event
sequencing, and run completion. No skips.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass.
- Normalized syntax comparison confirms the moved bodies and
reconstructed executor match. Reviewed the factory ownership, callback
binding, getter wiring, and constant re-exports separately.
- Isolated browser acceptance: 2/2 pass, including persisted worker
stdout and matching final byte counts. The process worker completes
after recovery; persistent timeouts stop after three attempts. Both
terminal states survive reload.
- Hosted full-suite CI passes on
`d32c8fc40e72b9766bdd9e191d777e8dc554e3f2`; all 55 reported checks are
successful. Greptile is 5/5 with zero review threads.
- The initial chat shard timed out waiting for GitHub mention admission.
Its fixture mocks heartbeat wakeup and never calls the output recorder.
Both parameterized cases passed locally; the unchanged shard passed on
one rerun. No test or timeout changes.

- Merge preparation: all seven session-preparation and run-output
regression tests pass after rebasing onto `master`. Fresh full CI passes
for `60e2a49ce2879645a9f618a801e0ba0903ede161`: 55 successful checks and
two optional Storybook skips, including all eight browser shards,
typecheck, tests, and build. Greptile is 5/5 on this exact commit with
zero review threads.

## Risks

- A stale excerpt snapshot could lose output that arrives while
finalization awaits I/O. Passing-before/passing-after tests exercise
this for both successful and failed runs.
- Per-attempt state must not become service-wide. Each executor
constructs its own recorder and keeps the existing shared store.
- Browser acceptance uses a real process fixture and disposable data; it
makes no live provider calls.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, assisted with reasoning, code edits, tool
execution, and verification. The exact deployment model ID and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip ce15fe7c73 refactor(heartbeat): extract task context preparation (#15872)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Heartbeat execution prepares task context before it selects an
environment and starts an adapter.
> - This preparation still occupied 319 lines inside the executor after
the earlier extractions.
> - It combines continuation summaries, comments, prompt variants,
communication guidance, and redaction.
> - This pull request moves that responsibility into one typed module
under `services/heartbeat/`.
> - The executor keeps admission, resource ownership, dispatch, and
cleanup ordering together.
> - The result makes the preparation phase easier to find and test
without changing execution behavior.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15825, #15807. This continues the incremental heartbeat extraction
series. A search found no duplicate task-context extraction.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Maintenance and review of heartbeat task context preparation.

**Current behavior**
The executor assembles prompts and trust-filtered context inline. This
hides its execution phases among preparation details.

**Proposed behavior**
Call `prepareHeartbeatTaskContext` at the same point in execution.
Preserve statement order, prompt contents, public exports, and the
shared run context object.

## What Changed

- Move task context assembly to
`server/src/services/heartbeat/task-context.ts`. Inputs group task
state, policy, and two existing service methods. Results preserve the
continuation and wake values used by later runtime selection and
dispatch.
- Keep company-scoped loading, quarantined-content filtering, secret
redaction, and revision hashing in their original order. Add no
execution resource acquisition.
- Add four public-path integration tests before the move. Cover prompt
variants and redacted revisions, quarantined summaries/comments, a
mixed-company wake batch, and stale caller fields.
- Extend the real process worker in the opt-in browser suite to check
persisted prompt variants and the description revision before it
completes its task.
- Update the module map and acceptance-test documentation.
- Reduce `heartbeat.ts` from 5,314 lines / 220,784 bytes to 4,989 lines
/ 206,650 bytes. The new module has 376 lines / 15,912 bytes.

## Verification

- Before the move: 11 existing prompt tests and all four new
characterization tests passed against the inline implementation.
- Normalized syntax comparison passed for all 319 moved lines and the
remaining orchestrator, including public exports. Imports and the typed
boundary were reviewed separately.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- The clean post-move focused run passed all 26 tests in five files,
with no skips: task-context characterization, task-markdown, Slack
invitation, accepted-plan workspace refresh, and run-preparation.
- The local `pnpm test:run` attempt was interrupted after database
failures while the Mac exhausted its shared-memory slots. All 15
affected native warm-ownership database cases passed in an isolated
rerun after the browser instance stopped; the other 666 cases in that
file were excluded by the test-name filter. The interrupted command is
not a full-suite pass. Full CI passed on
`6bf86cfdc07e7fe34015f7b719218639f4232510`: 55 successful checks and two
optional Storybook checks skipped. Greptile reviewed the latest commit
at 5/5; its one earlier worker-test finding is fixed and resolved.
- Browser E2E passed both scenarios on the final code: persistent
timeouts stop after three runs and survive reload; one timeout recovers
without manual Retry, verifies task-context prompt variants/revision and
preserved workspace files in a real process, then completes through the
run-scoped API. The first recovery attempt exposed an incorrect new test
assertion because the fixture title equals its description. The worker
now checks the description section specifically; the corrected recovery
scenario passed in 55.9 seconds. The original failure trace was
preserved. These tests use a deterministic process adapter and make no
live model calls.

## Risks

This is a behavior-preserving extraction. The main risks are changed
closure bindings, missing return values, or changed preparation order.
Typed inputs, public-path tests, and syntax comparison cover those
risks. The run context is still the same mutable object. The helper
acquires no leases or processes. It introduces no schema, API, or prompt
policy changes.

The first post-move database run skipped cases due to host resource
exhaustion. All 26 focused cases passed on the subsequent clean run.
Browser E2E passed after the worker assertion fix. The full local suite
remains incomplete. All 15 native warm-ownership database cases passed
on their isolated rerun; The full CI test suite passed on the final
commit.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository inspection,
code execution, and test tools. The host does not expose the exact
deployment model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 30e338fba6 refactor(heartbeat): extract environment selection (#15825)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Heartbeat execution selects an environment before it prepares a
workspace and starts an agent.
> - Workspace preparation now has its own module, but its selection
policy still occupies the executor.
> - Environment defaults, recovery bindings, chat isolation, and
workspace contention must retain their order.
> - This pull request moves that selection phase behind one typed
function.
> - The executor keeps dispatch gates and lease cleanup. Tests cover the
public path and the new boundary.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15807. This continues the heartbeat extraction series after
workspace preparation.

**Current behavior**

The 5,599-line heartbeat service contains a 301-line environment
selection phase inside run execution.

**Proposed behavior**

Move that phase to `heartbeat/environment-selection.ts`. Keep the same
policy, statement order, errors, and public exports.

**Reason and benefit**

Readers can find selection policy in one module and follow the
executor's phases without reading each policy branch.

## What Changed

- Add `selectHeartbeatEnvironment` with typed run, task, policy,
configuration, and service inputs. Return the values needed by
configuration and workspace preparation.
- Preserve native recovery bindings, environment precedence, managed
sandbox enforcement, Kubernetes provisioning, native chat isolation, and
shared workspace contention.
- Reduce `heartbeat.ts` from 5,599 lines / 234,599 bytes to 5,314 lines
/ 220,784 bytes. The new module is 402 lines / 18,215 bytes.
- Add six public-path characterization cases before moving production
code and six boundary cases. Repair plugin-test teardown to drain active
execution and call the database cleanup helper.
- Assert the selected local environment in the browser fixture's real
worker and document the new boundary.

## Verification

- Before the move: 71 tests passed, including all six new public-path
cases. Three plugin tests skipped when the host could not start their
database probe.
- After the move: all 112 focused tests passed across eight files, with
no skips. These cover environment policy, local and plugin execution,
contention, recovery bindings, workspace preparation, chat isolation,
and low-trust directories.
- Passed `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`.
- A normalized TypeScript AST comparison confirms the 301 moved lines
and remaining executor statements are unchanged, apart from the new call
and imports.
- Browser acceptance: the task UI recovered automatically and the worker
verified its selected local environment, preserved uncommitted files,
and completed the task. The persistent-failure case passed in isolation:
three total runs, then a blocked task that remained blocked after
reload.
- The first persistent-failure browser attempt missed the retry banner
within five seconds, despite a persisted scheduled retry. Its unchanged
isolated rerun passed. The trace is retained; the intermittent UI
failure is not yet attributed to a root cause. No assertion or timeout
was relaxed.
- Greptile reviewed `20953dd164decb565bc8d85081aad31a23fd33e5`: 5/5, no
actionable findings.
- Hosted CI passed on `20953dd164decb565bc8d85081aad31a23fd33e5`: 52
successful checks and two intentionally skipped Storybook checks, with
no pending or failing checks. This includes all general and serialized
test groups, Runner verification, eight browser shards, typecheck, and
build.
- The duplicate local `pnpm test:run` was interrupted after hosted CI
completed. It is not reported as a local full-suite pass. Local
completed checks are the 112 focused tests, typecheck, build, and
browser cases described above.

## Risks

- This selection phase enforces execution restrictions. A wrong input or
import could select the wrong environment or change retry behavior.
Public-path tests cover refusal, redirect, contention, and dispatch;
boundary tests cover recovery and isolation.
- The helper can provision a managed environment row and add concurrency
notes to the supplied task context. It acquires no execution lease. The
executor retains its catch/finally boundaries and resource ownership.
- Kubernetes selection is tested with real database state and bootstrap
settings. These checks do not claim execution against a live Kubernetes
cluster or hosted sandbox provider.
- No schema, migration, API contract, or intended behavior change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6), with repository inspection, code editing, compiler
checks, database integration tests, and browser automation. The exact
serving model ID and context-window size are not exposed in this
session.

DottaandPaperclip 07fee85eaf refactor(heartbeat): extract workspace preparation (#15807)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The heartbeat service prepares the workspace and dispatches each
agent run.
> - After the runtime extraction, `heartbeat.ts` still had 6,417 lines.
> - Workspace setup occupied one contiguous 857-line block inside
`executeRun`.
> - This pull request moves that block into one workspace preparation
module.
> - The executor keeps dispatch gates and terminal cleanup. Reviewers
can inspect workspace setup as one phase.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15803 and #15578. This continues the heartbeat refactor series.
The search found no open duplicate workspace preparation extraction.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

It makes heartbeat workspace preparation easier to maintain. It does not
change the workspace policy or execution behavior.

**Current behavior**

`executeRun` contains workspace resolution, freshness decisions,
provisioning, persistence, issue binding, environment acquisition, and
realization inline.

**Proposed behavior**

`prepareHeartbeatWorkspace` owns that sequence in
`server/src/services/heartbeat/workspace-preparation.ts`. `heartbeat.ts`
calls it at the same point and uses its returned workspace, lease,
target, and metadata.

**Reason and benefit**

The main file falls from 6,417 to 5,597 lines. The workspace phase has a
typed boundary and direct regression tests.

**Breaking changes**

None. There are no schema, API, feature-flag, or execution-policy
changes.

## What Changed

- Extract the 857-line workspace preparation block without changing its
operations or their order.
- Preserve native recovery bindings, workspace persistence failure
cleanup, issue rebinding after realization, and the cloned restore
lease.
- Keep environment selection, dispatch admission, terminalization, and
final lease release in `heartbeat.ts`.
- Add 12 boundary tests with disposable PostgreSQL, real Git
repositories, and real local environment leases.
- Make the existing Stop and plan-only recovery tests await executor
completion instead of short polling deadlines. Assert exactly one
continuation for the specific plan-only source run.
- Keep server-only Node preload hooks out of the deterministic process
adapter used by Stop browser acceptance.
- Refresh workspace recovery browser acceptance for the current task
composer, and give its disposable test-drive an explicit 10-second
snapshot deadline. Production snapshot settings stay unchanged.
- Document the workspace preparation boundary in `doc/DEVELOPING.md`.

## Verification

- AST comparison: all 857 moved lines match the original block. The
remaining module body differs only at the extraction call.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- Focused regression coverage: 651 distinct cases across eight suites
passed across targeted runs, including all 12 new boundary tests. The
complete 400-test recovery suite passed together on the final commit.
- Workspace bootstrap browser acceptance: both journeys passed (4.2
minutes), including preserved source edits, ignored-file exclusion,
bounded retries, and persistence across reload.
- Stop/queue browser acceptance: both process and native runner journeys
passed (2.2 minutes), covering queueing, Stop, subtree pause/cancel,
resume, and unrelated-task isolation.
- [Full repository
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38062408589):
all 47 jobs passed, including the general and serialized test suites,
eight browser shards, build, typecheck, native runner checks, and canary
dry run.
- The local `pnpm test:run` was interrupted to prioritize the recovery
regression; the complete repository suite was verified in CI.
- Greptile: 5/5 on `c28e698b885cf5fd12f36f7b4052e7a2e6f879d7`, with no
open review threads.

## Risks

- This code writes durable workspace bindings and acquires environment
leases. A changed operation order could break recovery or cleanup after
partial setup. The extraction preserves the original statements and
exception boundaries.
- The new tests cover creation, reuse, immutable recovery bindings,
persistence failure, acquisition and realization failure, controller
ownership loss, isolation, execution policy, and lease snapshot
independence.
- Browser acceptance uses real application services with deterministic
local workers and a fake Codex protocol provider. It does not qualify
live cloud providers.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with code editing, shell execution, and test
tools. The exact serving model identifier and context-window size are
not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 018993140f feat: let agents name prompt-only tasks (#14761)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Users create tasks with a title and a description.
> - A required title adds work when the prompt already explains the
request.
> - An agent can name the task once it reads that request.
> - This pull request accepts prompt-only tasks and starts them with a
short prompt slice.
> - A scoped title tool lets the assigned agent replace that slice early
without changing execution state.
> - A live browser eval checks the real agent call, saved title, audit
entry, and preservation of user titles.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: task creation, shared contracts, database, server, runner
tools, and board UI.

**Problem or motivation**

Users must currently write a title before they can submit a detailed
task prompt. The agent has enough context to write a useful title
itself.

**Proposed solution**

Make the title optional when a description is present. Save the first
120 characters of the normalized prompt as a provisional title. Ask the
assigned agent to call `set_task_title` early. Use an atomic
provisional-title guard to preserve titles supplied or edited by users.
Keep explicit titles supported.

Related: #14543 and #14556 concern empty-title submission. This change
intentionally enables that submission when a prompt is present, instead
of requiring a title.

## What Changed

- Add the `titleNeedsGeneration` field with an idempotent migration.
Keep existing titles unchanged.
- Add `PUT /api/issues/:id/title` and the native and legacy
`set_task_title` tool. Enforce company access, active-run ownership,
shared, bounded retry receipts across native/HTTP calls, and
transactional audit logging. Refresh external-object links after commit,
with the same feature gate and plugin detectors as ordinary title edits.
- Add early naming guidance in Standard, Ask, and Plan task context.
Preserve the description, status, and assignment.
- Allow prompt-only root and child task creation, plus draft restoration
in the New Task dialog. Keep user titles supported.
- Add an opt-in Product E2E suite for prompt-only Standard and Ask
tasks, plus an explicit-title control. It checks actual provider calls
within the first five tools, persisted state, audit attribution, and the
reloaded UI.
- Preserve a closed vocabulary of API key maintenance phrases in
declared prose while rejecting opaque credential suffixes. Add one
bounded naming retry after wording is rejected, without treating the
rejected call as a saved title.
- Repair the native cleanup receipt check exposed during full
verification: accept matching input digests, retain legacy input checks,
and reject conflicting receipts.

## Verification

- Live Product E2E on `f43478473800e3a46b85c5ee79677efdb15108e7`: **3/3
passed** with native Codex `gpt-5.4-mini`, first attempts only,
automatic retries disabled. Standard and Ask each saved “Rotate expired
API key” on their first tool call, with matching persisted state and a
single same-run audit entry. The explicit-title control retained its
user title with zero title writes. All three verified the reloaded
browser UI.
- Campaign: `local-2026-09-30T21-30-11-021Z`. Earlier failed campaigns
are retained separately; they exposed credential-prose handling and
prompted the naming recovery fix. No failed result was regraded or
deleted.
- Reproduce with `pnpm test:e2e:runner -- --id
task-titles.runner-codex-mini.local.prompt-title-standard --id
task-titles.runner-codex-mini.local.prompt-title-ask --id
task-titles.runner-codex-mini.local.preserve-explicit-title
--max-automatic-retries 0` and an authorized provider key.
- Full `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed on the latest commit.
The runner build used the configured external eval source tree.
- Product E2E unit suite: **61 files, 818 tests passed**; E2E typecheck
and UI token gates passed.
- Title API/native regressions cover prompt-only and explicit child
creation, user edits, ownership/company isolation, external reference
refresh, cross-surface retry replay, and the 64-key limit without
receipt eviction. All passed. Prompt-context coverage: **44 tests
passed**.
- Rust credential regressions: **35 tests passed**, including benign
maintenance qualifiers and opaque credential rejection in every declared
prose field. Catalog/report reconciliation: **28 tests passed**. Native
recovery: **560 tests passed**.
- Broad local `pnpm test:run`: **14,555 tests passed** in the general
server group; two suites failed to initialize embedded PostgreSQL and
the existing 40,000-file Git streaming stress test exceeded its
300-second macOS timeout. All three suites then passed in isolation (**5
tests passed**) without code or timeout changes. The original full local
command exited nonzero and is not being represented as a clean full run.
- Latest-head GitHub checks are green: **53 passed, 4 skipped, zero
failed or pending**, including all test shards and the canary packaging
dry run. Greptile reviewed the same commit at **5/5**, with zero
unresolved review threads.

## Risks

- The additive database field must reach the server and UI together. The
migration uses `IF NOT EXISTS` and defaults existing tasks to a final
title.
- Title generation depends on the assigned agent running. Tasks without
a run keep their provisional title.
- Live qualification covers the native Codex path in Standard and Ask
modes. API/legacy and Plan behavior have deterministic coverage.
- The credential-prose exception validates the entire suffix against a
closed maintenance vocabulary. Unknown suffixes, assignments, quoted
values, credential prefixes, and diagnostics retain strict checks.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The exact deployment ID and context window are not exposed in
this session. The live eval uses the native Codex `gpt-5.4-mini`
profile.

DottaandPaperclip f4cdc7b231 fix: recover transient workspace bootstrap scans (#13481)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The control plane prepares task workspaces before it starts an
agent.
> - Workspace preparation reads Git state so it can preserve edits and
exclude private files.
> - A failed scan was treated as a non-Git folder and lost its actual
failure code.
> - The resulting generic setup failure could not recover, even when the
cause was temporary.
> - This pull request keeps the cause and uses the existing bounded
retry schedule before provider startup.
> - Tasks can recover without human intervention, while permanent
failures and exhausted retries stop with useful guidance.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A Git scan error during managed repository preparation became
`Configured repository folder is not a Git checkout`, followed by
generic `setup_failed`. The agent never started. Generic recovery could
not distinguish a temporary timeout from a bad workspace configuration.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the closed scan error code. Retry temporary timeouts and queue
saturation under the existing shared budget. Preserve edits, exclusions,
ownership, and pause gates. Stop permanent failures and exhausted
retries with a specific explanation. Do not replay historical generic
setup failures.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Configure a task project with a local Git source that must be copied
into its managed repositories.
2. Make the ignored-file scan exceed its timeout before the agent
starts.
3. Before this fix, the snapshot returns null and the run ends as
non-retryable `setup_failed`.
4. Use the disposable browser fixture in
`tests/e2e/workspace-bootstrap/README.md` to inject real timeouts and
test the full recovery path.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against `4510bf7c9e2fcbeb043445850928b5dcb79908ca`.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source. The defect is in core workspace setup, not a specific
model provider.

Related work: Refs #13442 (managed repository preparation), Refs #11572
(bounded Git scheduler), Refs #12997 (separate adapter startup retry
work), Refs #13469 (separate terminal-workspace scan performance work).

## What Changed

- Return the non-Git fallback only for repository discovery. Propagate
failed scans of a confirmed repository.
- Replace full ignored status output with an ignored-only directory
listing. Preserve NUL-delimited paths and exclusions.
- Preserve typed, sanitized scan errors through workspace preparation
and persist pre-provider failure details.
- Retry only timeouts and queue saturation, using the existing durable
two-retry budget and issue gates. Prevent generic recovery from adding
another budget.
- Show workspace-specific failure copy and actionable exhausted-recovery
notices.
- Add red-green unit tests, real-database restart and retry-boundary
tests, and opt-in browser acceptance fixtures with real Git subprocess
timeouts.
- Document the recovery contract and browser verification procedure.

## Verification

- Red: injected scan failures returned null instead of rejecting; setup
lost the timeout code; task-thread and recovery notices had generic
copy.
- Green: 119 focused adapter/backend tests, 20 recovery-boundary tests,
and 136 task-thread tests.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm build` — passed on the final production code.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed.
- The initial local `pnpm test:run` overlapped source edits and was
interrupted after two late-added assertions saw pre-fix behavior; it is
not counted as a green full run. A fresh final-head run passed all 229
tests across the six affected adapter/backend/UI suites. The clean
latest-head CI full test matrix passed: all five general-server shards,
all five serialized-server shards, and all three general-workspace
shards.
- Latest-head CI also passed all three browser shards and their
aggregate gate, typecheck and release registry, build, runner
verification, canary dry run, policy, Docker context integrity, and
security gates. Greptile: 5/5, with the review thread resolved.
- Browser: created a task in a disposable instance. A real Git timeout
scheduled recovery, the next run completed through the run-scoped API
without manual Retry, and Done survived reload. The deterministic
process worker checked preserved source edits and excluded private
files; no model calls were made.
- `WORKSPACE_BOOTSTRAP_TEST_URL=<disposable-instance-url> pnpm exec
playwright test --config
tests/e2e/workspace-bootstrap/playwright.config.ts` — 2 passed (3.6
minutes). The persistent case made exactly three failed attempts, never
started the worker, showed the cause-specific notice, stayed stopped for
another scheduler tick, and retained Blocked after reload.
- Extra red-green coverage: 50 recovery tests passed after fixing an
exhausted-bootstrap classification that incorrectly implied unknown
provider actions. Missing or uncertain evidence still retains the safety
hold.
- Verified the documented Git executable override during repository
seeding.

## Risks

- A confirmed repository scan failure now fails closed instead of
falling back to directory sync. This prevents unfiltered copying but
makes previously hidden errors visible.
- Temporary host problems can create up to two additional setup
attempts, 30 seconds apart. Permanent scan errors do not auto-retry.
Generic recovery cannot reset this budget.
- The durable retry path still enforces ownership, pause, and work
eligibility. Integration tests cover restart, duplicate promotion,
pause, exhaustion, and non-retryable categories.
- No schema migration, new runtime setting, new retry budget, production
deployment, or historical task replay.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-based coding agent, with reasoning, repository
tools, shell execution, and browser testing. The exact deployment model
ID and context-window size are not exposed in this session.
