DottaandPaperclip 0a5f1546ee feat(cases): add reusable prompt workflows (#17114)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Cases keep facts, documents, and one primary task across agent
handoffs.
> - Each case currently needs its own procedure text.
> - Agents need to reuse procedures and move cases between them without
replacing the task.
> - This change adds company workflow definitions with a name and
Markdown prompt.
> - Existing handoff and document transactions preserve authority,
revisions, and recovery.
> - Cases remain behind `experimental.enableCases`.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16959. Related proposal: #3951 uses task graphs and a visual
editor. This change extends existing Cases with prompt definitions and
keeps its current handoff model.

**Problem or motivation**

Agents cannot share a reusable procedure across cases or inspect a
case's movement between procedures.

**Proposed solution**

Add name-and-prompt workflow definitions. Adopt a prompt into the
primary task's revisioned workflow document through a handoff. Keep
phases as free text.

**Alternatives considered**

Defer graphs, workflow versions, run entities, role schemas, authoring
screens, and Spec Kit integration.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the existing Cases experiment and same-task review flow. It
adds no work queue or new execution engine. The maintainer approved this
scope in the implementation plan.

## What Changed

- Add company-scoped definition storage, shared request schemas, REST
routes, and four optional Cases tools.
- Accept a workflow ID at kickoff. Agent handoffs can adopt, refresh,
preserve, or detach a workflow.
- Capture prompt text and the document base revision at acceptance.
Apply workflow, phase, and document revision together after outgoing
execution settles.
- Hold conflicting document edits for recovery. Preserve cancellation,
replay, and restart behavior.
- Show current workflow names and captured transition names/phases in
Work, history, and Audit.
- Update instructions, API/tool contracts, capability maps, and the
isolated workflow journey.
- Pin bounded workflow prompt reads to a content fingerprint;
continuation conflicts on edits and can restart safely.
- Remove experimental Cases/workflow/Mermaid guidance from the always-on
native prompt. Extract runtime-context prompt strings into a
CODEOWNERS-protected constants file while preserving the public imports.
- Refresh Copilot’s pinned source identity to v57, including the
extracted prompt file and retaining historical identities.

## Verification

Local checks: repository `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass on
the prompt-extraction tree (`88222d45d8`). Full repository coverage
previously completed through the supported isolated shard groups (1,082
general server suites, 161 serialized suites, and all three workspace
groups). The earlier default serial run was interrupted and remains
incomplete. The first sharded run retained the failures described below;
targeted corrections and separate limited-concurrency reruns pass. All
CI jobs, security checks, and the 5/5 Greptile review passed on
`fc1bd79c28`. Fresh CI and review are pending for the prompt extraction
in `88222d45d8`. Focused verification passes: real-database handoff
recovery and reuse; 2,002 native-tool/API contract checks; 144 Runner
catalog/discovery checks; 27 Runner context/coverage checks; 37
case/Audit UI checks; and Product E2E oracle calibration. Token gates,
migration safety/numbering, module boundaries, capability maps, and
generated tool/Storybook catalogs pass. The final route/context
corrections pass 49 API/native-tool tests, 90 real-database handoff
tests, and server typecheck; 142 Copilot installation/sidecar tests pass
with the refreshed identity.

Greptile’s first review found that successive prompt pages could mix
definitions after an edit. The fix returns a content fingerprint,
requires it for continuation, and rejects edits with 409. Strict
live/catalog schemas pass (171 Runner checks). The 2,005 API/OpenAPI
tests pass; the initial native regression caught compression’s weak ETag
prefix, and all 23 native integration tests pass after handling it. The
regression covers same-length edits and a four-byte restart window. No
stored version fields or entities were added.

The prompt extraction passes all 462 checks across six focused suites,
including persisted-context recovery and provider transport. The first
local transport attempt lacked the required debug Runner binaries (102
failures, retained); after building the normal prerequisites, all 283
tests in that suite pass without source or assertion changes. Existing
saved snapshots retain their recorded prompt text, and new executions
use core-only prompt v7. The extracted prompt source is now covered by
both CODEOWNERS and Copilot’s source fingerprint.

Live-provider evidence is separate from those simulated checks: the
isolated API-key campaign `reusable-workflows-api-final-2026-10-21`
passed with local code matching `a1d73b4652`. Four actual Codex API runs
read the adopted task documents, moved one case A → B → A on the same
task, completed normally, and passed all nine durable checks. Browser
assertions verified the current workflow/phase, historical names/phases,
five handoff records including terminal completion, and the completed
original task. Cleanup passed. The local report remains under
`tests/runner-e2e/results/reusable-workflows-api-final-2026-10-21/`; no
credentials or screenshots are committed.

CI initially caught an omitted route-inventory entry and a stale pinned
instruction-source hash; both are corrected and separately verified.
Local serialized coverage also recorded an unrelated environment-route
socket disconnect and activity-route timeout; their separate 11-test and
17-test suites passed without code or timeout changes. An unchanged
chunked-webhook check also passed its separate four-test rerun. The
initial adapter/database workspace groups hit time and resource limits
under default worker counts; complete reruns with `VITEST_MAX_WORKERS=2`
pass, including all 55 database files and 211 tests. The UI/CLI groups
passed 837 files and 9,442 tests in the original run. Original failures
remain retained and are not regraded.

Earlier failed live campaigns remain unchanged: subscription HTTP 429
before agent execution; an obsolete exact-four-row oracle that rejected
the valid terminal fifth row; and a chat-marker expectation that did not
account for the existing explicit-comment presentation policy. The final
fixture requires terminal completion and places the marker in its
authoritative comment. Positive/negative oracle tests and the fresh live
campaign pass.

## Risks

- The additive migration adds a table and nullable case/handoff fields.
Existing rows keep null workflow metadata; no assignments are inferred.
- Adoption can wait on an intervening task-document edit. Recovery must
cancel the old intent and accept a new one after readback.
- Shared definition edits affect future adoptions. Existing case copies
keep their revisions.
- The feature remains experimental. This PR does not merge or deploy the
change.
- Live acceptance covers native Codex before the prompt extraction; this
cleanup has contract/transport verification rather than a new
live-provider campaign. The refreshed Copilot identity has static
compatibility evidence, not new live-provider qualification.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, configured model ID `gpt-6-astra`, xhigh reasoning. Used
terminal execution, file editing, and tool calls. The active
context-window size is not exposed.

eece07a747 fix: repair the complete projectless repository setup chain (#17088)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage agents that do useful work.
> - A projectless task can prepare an authorized repository in its
retained workspace.
> - Setup must hand work to a later run without user supervision.
> - Real task attempts exposed gaps across admission, completion, and
queue dispatch.
> - A successful provider exit did not prove that the requested result
was delivered.
> - This PR repairs the existing lifecycle and checks the complete
repository journey.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17047. This PR includes the preserved repairs from #17049, #17052,
and #17082.

**What happened?**

A projectless native task could stop after requesting a repository. It
could also continue through a timer or generic recovery path and lose
its saved conversation lineage. The latest real Codex and Claude
attempts delivered correct files, but the native continuation had been
folded into the finishing predecessor. Both attempts remain failed
measurements.

**Expected behavior**

Prepare the authorized repository, retain the original context, and
dispatch one saved continuation after its predecessor finishes. Deliver
the verified result in the originating conversation. Stop, current
access, approval, and real blocker rules remain authoritative.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the explicit automatic-repository suite for native Codex or Claude.
Inspect the downloaded result, original context artifact, both committed
run records, and continuation receipts. The suite uses one attempt and
does not widen the default paid selection.

## What Changed

- Resolve the retained local-board identity through current company
membership and workspace authority.
- Prepare required source dependencies before the isolated server
imports native tool authority.
- Explain the saved repository continuation in production completion
tools. Correct only the exact pending-checkout blocker backed by a live
receipt. Reject an unfinished response wait without a real response
source.
- Preserve the persisted task-session workspace source and its explicit
absence of root repository context. Permit Git's exact no-repository
result only for a validated plain task directory. Keep other Git errors
and linked metadata strict.
- Revalidate server-resolved same-agent continuation values against
current ownership and the saved kind, summary, and key. Carry this shape
through the internal bridge schema. Keep provider-facing schemas
restrictive.
- Preserve terminal result authority after a correlated successful
controller response. Controller rejection creates no result authority.
Bind the shared guidance and transport source in Copilot v55 and
preserve historical identities.
- Admit native status wakes with the existing no-coalescing contract.
The existing deferred queue retains a distinct future dispatch instead
of retagging the finishing run.
- Recover deferred conversation lineage through the actual admitted
dispatch. Accept a null outbox run binding only with matching decision,
effect, dispatch actor, idempotency, task, company, agent, and requester
evidence. Reject a conflicting nonnull binding.
- Independently grade retained random context, actual checkout bytes and
HEAD, accessible output, distinct continuation receipts, and admission
order.

## Verification

- Real database and Git regressions fail before their repairs. Prior
focused cohorts cover local-board authority, optional repository waits,
plain task directories, and first/reused workspace provenance.
- The new valid decision/effect-backed assembled-heartbeat regression
reproduces coalescing into its active predecessor before the queue
repair. With the repair, it dispatches one successor after the
predecessor finishes. Duplicate sweeps create no extra run.
- The deferred-outbox conversation regression fails before its repair.
The repaired test also rejects a conflicting predecessor binding.
- The current queue, continuation, publication, cancellation,
stale-admission, and domain cohort passes 344 checks across 11 suites.
Server and Product E2E typechecks pass. The strengthened
automatic-repository oracle passes 34 calibration checks.
- Three omitted/null/resolved forms pass through the compiled Rust
runner and controlled provider. The prior shared bridge cohort passes
492 TypeScript checks and 399 Rust core checks. Runner source identity,
TypeScript, Rust formatting, and locked Rust typechecks pass.
- Six real local development cells passed ordinary repository,
conversion, and necessary-question journeys. Independent artifacts and
rendered question/result evidence agree. They do not qualify staging or
Slack.
- Both latest automatic-repository attempts delivered correct files but
failed the strict continuation check. They remain failures. A fresh
replay of this queue repair is pending.
- On the combined candidate `380047f4b923807a8c4f7ef6016e4fe130ab4a3a`,
`pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass. Product E2E support passes
3,525 checks with two existing skips, plus 128 source checks. The
complete local `pnpm test:run` is running and is not yet a pass.
- The first replay selection failed catalog validation due to an
operator profile-ID error. A second selection used the wrong
default-model suite and was cancelled before any provider job existed.
Both setup attempts remain recorded. The corrected campaign selects the
recorded GPT-6.1 and Opus 5.5 models plus the local Stop/resume journey.
- Exact-head CI, review, and deployment acceptance remain pending.
GitHub reports delayed PR updates and webhook delivery; the current head
and checks have now propagated. No earlier-head green badge establishes
acceptance of this commit.

## Risks

This changes several boundaries of repository setup. Full product and
deployment acceptance remain required. The queue uses the existing
deferred admission and delivery contracts. Batch deduplication remains
in place. The provenance repair requires the actual bound dispatch and
does not grant publication authority. Current authorization is still
checked at publication. No accepted provider result is rewritten, and
completed provider work is not rerun to repair persistence or delivery.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository tools and code execution.
The runtime does not expose its exact deployment ID or context-window
size. Those values are not inferred.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 2a5a323e57 Add execution-owned Runner launch preparation (#16997)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work for AI agents.
> - Runner can execute in a different environment from Core.
> - Core owns provider selection, policy, and resource assignments.
> - The execution environment must prepare its own files and paths.
> - A shared contract must keep these responsibilities separate.
> - This PR adds that contract to the Runner execution driver.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**
Runner transport prepares provider files on the controller before
launch. An execution owner cannot prepare those files in its own
environment through the existing driver.

**Proposed solution**
Add `prepareLaunch` to the execution driver. Supply versioned Core
requirements. Accept a configuration ID, requirements digest, and
ordinary provider descriptor. Validate Core policy and assignments
before launch. Keep existing provider session checks.

**Alternatives considered**
Provider-specific ownership flags would spread the boundary across
backends. Shell preparation would expose process details in the plugin
API.

Refs #16993, #16977. Both prerequisites are merged. This PR now targets
master. Native plugin integration and execution-host preparation follow
separately.

PR #16978 contains an earlier, unmerged prototype. Its
`persistentAgentHome` mode and skill path-map call will be replaced by
this preparation contract before activation. This PR preserves current
master callers of the skill helper.

## What Changed

- Add the optional preparation callback and an explicit Runner artifact
identity.
- Keep the built-in preparation path as the default.
- Validate provider policy and resource assignment identity. Preserve
instruction text when resource locations change.
- Persist the attachment seed after an authority epoch rotation, so a
later controller restart can recover the same run.
- Preserve explicit context removal on a new run. Only an omitted
context can reuse the saved context. Remove its registered instruction
framing when context is removed.
- Save exact requirements and configurations in a private file outside
Runner commands. Retain the active record across failed attachments. Use
current grants for new runs. Keep incompatible session changes rejected.
- Join delayed preparation during startup and warm attachment cleanup.
Retain an unsettled checkpoint after a timeout. Prevent work after
cancellation.
- Use the supplied Runner artifact for interrupted handoff recovery.
Restore the exact target configuration at each handoff crash boundary.
Check the Runner state when the final ACK may be lost.
- Bind the changed shared sources to Copilot profile v51. Preserve the
v50 receipt and current integrity checks.

## Verification

- Workspace typecheck passed.
- All 487 affected Runner transport, control-plane, preparation store,
builder, policy, and profile tests passed on commit `eaf8ae8d1`.
- Workspace build and typecheck passed again on commit
`eaf8ae8d12c7ef2d22d226e4b3f05fdbf79ef4cb`.
- Both warm attachment cleanup regressions fail before the fix. They
pass after the fix. The tests cover delayed preparation, timeout
retention, and concurrent attachment rejection.
- The routed handoff regression fails with a missing controller binary
before the fix. It passes after the fix. The execution owner launches
the real fixture Runner.
- The 200,000-byte instruction regression fails before the fix and
passes after it. Four prepared handoff crash cases verify exact request
and configuration recovery. The store tests verify private file mode,
conflicting records, corrupt data, and active-run retention.
- A real Runner with a controlled fake provider verifies execution-host
paths, exact recovery, warm reuse, incompatible profile rejection, and
cancellation. It does not contact an external provider.
- The regression found undefined settings in strict PRP command hashing.
Requirements now contain only JSON values. The warm transition test
passes without changing PRP validation.
- The broader root suite on the prerequisite finished with 22,420
passing tests, seven failed tests in unchanged Git and diagnostic code,
and two suite setup errors because Cargo was absent from its PATH. This
PR does not claim a passing full root suite.
- The CI Build job passed compilation and production runtime boot, then
its runner received a shutdown signal during the clean public install
check. Other jobs reported lost communication with their self-hosted
runners. The failed jobs passed on retry on the same commit; successful
jobs kept their results.
- The current Superagent security scan is inconclusive because its
pinned merge-base checkout failed or timed out. GitHub rejected the
check rerun request through the available API. This is not a passing
security scan.
- Standard Greptile and Greptile Apex each returned 5/5 on `eaf8ae8d1`.
All review threads are resolved. CI passed on attempt 2. Current checks
have 55 successes, four optional skips, and the inconclusive security
scan described above. The branch is ready, mergeable, and current with
master.
- No live provider qualification or deployment was run.

## Risks

- A preparation owner must store configurations and keep retries bound
to the same task and requirements.
- Copilot source binding requires a new profile identity. This PR does
not claim fresh live qualification.
- The callback is an SDK extension. This PR does not connect it to a
plugin task process owner or add a Launcher endpoint.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. Reasoning and repository tools. The exact serving
model identifier and context size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 505e1a5582 feat(cases): add persistent workflows with same-task agent handoffs (#16959)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - An agent workflow needs persistent facts and a safe way to transfer
work.
> - Creating a task for each phase splits the objective, discussion,
workspace, and review policy.
> - A case can retain the facts while one primary task moves between
agents.
> - Transfers must survive process failure and preserve private access,
budgets, and completion gates.
> - This pull request adds durable case handoffs, native case tools, and
read-only case pages.
> - Prompts describe the workflow. Existing task controls decide when
work can run and finish.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

Prompt-driven agent teams need a persistent record that can move through
triage, implementation, verification, and correction. Ordinary
reassignment does not provide a durable instruction, safe release
barrier, or recoverable delivery receipt for an agent handing off its
own running task.

**Proposed solution**

Extend standalone cases with one primary task, a descriptive phase,
retained access sources, and a handoff ledger. Apply assignments after
source execution and workspace settlement. Deliver each transfer through
the existing durable wake queue. Provide `create_case`, `read_case`,
`update_case`, and `handoff_case` in the native runner. Creation
requires kickoff and explicit workflow text. An explicit handoff to
`done` closes the case when normal task completion is accepted.

**Alternatives considered**

Do not add a workflow engine, filesystem queue, configured state graph,
or one task per phase. The workflow document combines transition prose
with an optional Mermaid `stateDiagram-v2` map. The server does not
execute the diagram. The Pipelines experiment removed on master stays
removed.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends Agent Reviews and Approvals, Enforced Outcomes, Bounded Run
Recovery, and Activity Log attribution. Existing approval, review,
budget, privacy, workspace, and responsible-user rules remain
authoritative.

Related work: [ordinary handoff wake
recovery](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/15019). This
feature adds a separate persisted case-handoff receipt and release
barrier.

## What Changed

- Add case routing fields, retained access sources, durable handoff
history, delivery leases, and replay-safe migrations.
- Keep the same primary task across agent phases. Preserve each
returning agent's own session and the task's workspace.
- Fence outgoing mutations, wait for provider and workspace release, and
recover delivery without duplicate task comments or runs. Recheck
current assignment permissions as the original caller before applying a
delayed transfer. Scope a run Stop to that run’s own handoff intents, so
repeated old Stop requests preserve newer work. Cancelling terminal
intent without a source run also requires fenced current task ownership,
including native retries and preparation with an old checkout. For Cloud
callers, revalidate current stack membership with an uncached Cloud RPC
and derive owner elevation from the current managed setting.
- Keep case reads, documents, assets, Audit, and live events inside
retained task/project permissions.
- Add native case creation/read/update/handoff tools. Store required
workflow text and initial documents on the first task. Page oversized
case facts and referenced document bodies through the dedicated tool
with bounded UTF-8 JSON, current routing versions, snapshot conflicts,
and current source authorization on every page.
- Add read-only case lists and detail pages, task-style list controls,
compact dotted field tables, linked handoff tasks, and case filters in
Audit.
- Add native/legacy integration tests, migration/restart tests, browser
coverage, and bounded live receipt fixtures. Extend the trusted sandbox
condition to cover the new subscription fixture profile.
- Hide obsolete paused-agent warnings on completed or cancelled task
threads.
- Synchronize the company-switch settings test with React effects after
a CI failure. Preserve its security assertions and production remount
behavior.

## Verification

The branch directly includes master `9ef434fe79`. The required `ci /
verify` and `ci / e2e` gates pass on head `765fccd67c`. [Current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39464348614)
passes typecheck, build, tests, and all eight browser shards. Security
checks pass. [Greptile gives this exact head
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/16959#issuecomment-6291156549),
with no unresolved review threads. The optional Paperclip Review check
remains queued because its assigned agent is paused. It is not a
required branch check. No check result was overridden.

Local workspace typecheck and build pass after the master merge, along
with database migration checks, token gates, map checks, Storybook
catalog checks, and the Copilot profile identity check. Standard builds
refresh Runner vendor output. Focused checks pass 2,008
API/paging/context tests and 7 strict case protocol tests. The final
commit changes one test fixture only; its ten tests, UI typecheck, and
token gates pass. No production source changed in that commit.

On current head `765fccd67c`, all **194 critical workflow tests**
executed and passed with no skipped tests in those files:

- 38 Stop/ownership tests, including board completion intent, native
retries, stale Stop, and preparation with an old checkout.
- 2 actual legacy process/HTTP handoff tests, including scratch failure,
a closed-stdio child that continues writing, and recovery through a
fresh worker after the process group stops.
- 5 migration tests, including SQL column metadata, preserved null
authority context, and all six prior-numbering receipts.
- 3 process-settlement and 5 scratch tests.
- 88 handoff-service, 18 heartbeat handoff, and 21 native case-tool
integration tests.
- 7 bounded case/document-read projection tests and 7 strict
protocol-contract tests.

The current CI checkout was `fed65d49`, merging `765fccd67c` into master
`9ef434fe79`. Its new document regressions reconstruct exact
Unicode/escaped bodies and revisions through real native authority and
authenticated HTTP with generic API tools disabled. They cover
case-owned, primary-task, and linked-task documents; routing on every
page; stale document snapshots; access loss and unlinking;
unrelated/foreign/private sources; system documents; and quarantined
content. Active-task document tools retain their existing behavior.
These are current-head test results from the first CI attempt; the
browser-only retry did not rerun these suites.

The full `64fdd3403f` CI failed one separate settings test: after a
company switch, it observed an unsettled API-key draft. The production
component and test were unchanged from prior green source. Production
switches remount both keyed settings layers; the test directly reused an
unkeyed view and used a timer tick instead of waiting for React effects.
The final commit replaces that fixture synchronization with React `act`.
The exact secret-clearing assertions and all timeouts remain unchanged.
The original assertion failure remains recorded; no unchanged retry was
used. The narrow unchanged baseline and fixed fixture each pass 10
tests.

The upstream result-paging merge preserves case capture namespaces and
current asset privacy. Its API integration suite executed 39 of 41 tests
successfully, with two skipped; the optional assigned-result PRP
integration test was skipped. Neither skipped suite is counted in the
194 critical tests or as live provider proof.

All 361 upstream migration entries and SQL bodies remain unchanged. Six
case migrations follow master as 0363–0368 with identical SQL hashes.
Official Drizzle generators produced the combined metadata and five
retained snapshots. Generation reports no schema changes, and the
snapshot drift test passes. The earlier `ce361ae5d0` CI passed on
attempt 1, including its then-current 179 critical tests. Fresh review
later identified unusable document references with generic API tools
disabled; the bounded document reads and ten additional authenticated
HTTP tests address that finding.

The full local `pnpm test:run` attempt was cancelled after this Mac
exhausted PostgreSQL semaphore capacity; it is **not** counted as a
pass. Later database attempts also stopped before assertions or skipped,
including one sandbox socket denial. Two original stale-Stop regressions
did reproduce the bug against the old source. A REST serialization
assertion passed after two preserved database-startup failures. No test
timeout was increased. All 194 assertions listed above executed and
passed in current-head CI. The complete 385-file, 3,963-test UI shard
also passed after the fixture repair.

A configured-provider receipt workflow passed 13 backend checks across
triage → implementation → verification → correction → done, using one
task and four work runs. The saved receipt is revision 2 with total 6
USD; case and task both closed. The original canonical attempt remains
failed because its browser assertion confused the terminal destination
with completed-task tooltips. The corrected full browser verifier passed
on the same retained database and original runs, with no additional
provider calls. The last clean-build browser readback is on
`6a86c54a53`; later changes affect recovery, authorization, bounded
reads, and settlement. Accounted work cost is a $1.010574 rate-card
estimate; provider billing and setup-probe usage are unavailable.

Copilot profile 49 passed the unchanged seven-fixture private protocol
pack (46/46 checks, no retries) and the product file-edit canary after
master's completion-replay change. All 60 bound implementation hashes
remain unchanged on the current source. Historical profile-47/48
identities and results remain intact. See the [profile-49 compatibility
record](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/codex/persistent-case-handoffs/doc/plans/2026-10-20-copilot-completion-recovery-compatibility-v49.json).
This is bounded compatibility evidence, not a fresh full matrix,
installed-package product test, or Daytona rollout.

Preserved CI failures and retries:

- On `20662930ac`, Slack managed setup failed a five-second success
assertion after reload. Its test/application path was unchanged from a
prior green head. One unchanged-source retry passed all 25 tests in that
shard; no source or timeout changed.
- On `9402b4f17a`, two CI workers received shutdown signals at 15:24:19
UTC. Neither log had an assertion failure before interruption. One
unchanged-source retry of each passed all Runner static checks and all
32 tests in browser shard 6; both aggregates passed. The next head,
`7b4374edaf`, passed all CI without retries.
- On `295f289b5a`, serialized shard 9 timed out during its first
device-login test, then the next test found an active login lease.
Direct login/test paths were unchanged from a prior green head. Cold
import plus a timed-out async body using the next test's mutable
actor/store is the supported fixture-race explanation; no request trace
proves that sequence. The original failure remains recorded. One
unchanged-source retry passed all 294 tests in 19 files, including all
41 device-login tests. No login source or timeout changed. The
subsequent `ce361ae5d0` CI passed without retries.
- On `64fdd3403f`, one company-switch settings assertion observed an
unsettled draft. The final test-only commit uses React `act` without
changing assertions, timeouts, or production code. On `765fccd67c`, all
ten settings tests and the complete 385-file, 3,963-test UI shard
passed.
- On `765fccd67c`, browser shard 3 completed the split-handoff
assertions, then cleanup received HTTP 500 from run cancellation after a
one-second PostgreSQL row-lock timeout. The extra chat run was reporting
completed work while teardown began. Cleanup stopped before restoring a
global experiment flag, causing a later assertion to fail. Relevant
production and test paths are unchanged from an earlier green commit.
Stop's lock order is consistent, and no nested self-lock was found; the
exact PostgreSQL blocker was not recorded. One unchanged-shard retry
passed. The original failure, trace, and downstream flag failure remain
recorded. No Stop implementation, cleanup assertion, or timeout changed.
The retry supports intermittent cleanup contention; it does not identify
the original blocking transaction.


## Risks

- Local process transfers require host-owned PID/group absence. Missing
or uncertain termination evidence keeps delivery pending, independently
of scratch setup.
- Handoff admission and task cancellation share execution ownership. New
regression tests cover temporary holds, late source writes, and
uncertain provider termination.
- Retained private sources use an intersection of existing permissions.
This intentionally fails closed when a source is missing or an existing
task cannot preserve that boundary.
- Migrations add tables and indexes. They preserve master history and
can replay over prior feature installs. Migration 0368 adds nullable
internal authorization provenance with no default or authority backfill.
Historical transfers still awaiting release without this context fail
closed; an operator must cancel them and request a new handoff.
- Delayed Cloud handoffs depend on the current Cloud membership RPC. An
unavailable, ambiguous, expired, or mismatched response holds the
handoff for retry; it does not reuse cached authority or grant access.
- Bounded reads reload and reauthorize the selected projection per page.
Underlying work grows with the data size and number of pages. Changed
data or routing requires restarting from offset zero without the old
snapshot.
- Phase names and workflow diagrams remain advisory. They do not satisfy
review or approval gates.
- This is a large, cross-cutting PR. The maintainer requested one PR for
the whole feature; the commits separate data, runtime, UI, and
qualification work.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with tool use, code execution, and delegated
code review. The exact deployment model ID and context-window size were
not exposed in the session. Live fixture agents used the explicitly
configured provider model recorded in their test evidence.

DottaandPaperclip d855e550ad Finish Copilot native runtime on current master (#15701)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Runner controls provider processes, permissions and task
completion.
> - Copilot needs its pinned distribution, native message identities and
accepted semantic completion receipts.
> - The release must preserve saved-token access and task lifecycle
guarantees.
> - This pull request will keep the current completion and recovery
fixes while adding the Copilot runtime.
> - The benefit is a reviewable part of the Copilot production release.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14434. Supersedes the runtime work in #15560. This is the first PR
in the stack; #15703, #15705 and #15706 follow. Related alternative
adapter work: #15881. This change uses the shared Runner path.

## What Changed

- Pin Copilot CLI 1.0.88 and bind the integrated implementation as
profile45.
- Keep native instruction, permission, receipt, process ownership and
cancellation boundaries.
- Preserve current master completion continuation and remote
verification behavior. Other provider release identities stay unchanged.

## Verification

Final reviewed source
[`4f3f1af807d2ed21adabb04c2f27f4df9c4bc8d5`](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/commit/4f3f1af807d2ed21adabb04c2f27f4df9c4bc8d5)
includes master `cde944ed75648adfb569e86133adc8b118b55dd6`. The combined
four-part PR tree matches it except for the CI-owned lockfile. Every
prior public PR head remains an ancestor. Released master migrations
remain unchanged; Copilot adds migration361. No unrelated provider is
enabled.

Copilot CLI1.0.88 and profile47 retain digest
`sha256:55044aa235e88b3fe36ec8a556ee1e3382590870aab907e4462ef7d64af49cea`.
The pending qualification marker is removed. The [qualification
record](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/4f3f1af807d2ed21adabb04c2f27f4df9c4bc8d5/doc/plans/2026-10-20-copilot-qualification-v47.json)
reports **20/20 Product cells,154 assertions;7/7 protocol cases,46
assertions** against frozen installed application
`c2616370800f5f6df45246b0890ba35a7cd2faab`. Both environments use the
exact authenticated model `gpt-5.6-luna`. Every passing Product case
confirms cleanup. Automatic behavior retries are disabled. Original
failed attempts remain recorded.

The ordinary installed remote journey passed saved-token selection,
authenticated model discovery, normal UI save/reopen, metadata-only
Test, task completion, accepted receipt and an exact19-byte browser
download. An open model catalog caused no new discovery requests
during117seconds. Actual installed runtime smokes passed on macOS ARM64,
macOS x64 under Rosetta and native Linux x64 on Daytona. Raw token
browser entry was not exercised; the encrypted connection was created
through the normal API.

The original Daytona file attempt timed out during delayed semantic
dispatch. Its precise stalled layer remains unresolved. Independent
ordinary delivery and the other19 cells passed before one instrumented
recheck passed8/8 with unchanged source,prompt,assertions and deadlines.
No causal latency repair is claimed.

After current-master reconciliation,129 connection tests,59 runner
tests,72 shared eval tests and88 recovery/workspace tests pass.
Migration generation/safety, unchanged profile identity and UI token
gates pass. Prior required CI was green. Fresh exact-head required CI
and E2E are green for all four updated heads. Each has a fresh
Greptile5/5 review and zero unresolved review threads. The [final
normal-package cloud
build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39414239704)
is running. Recursive typecheck,full CI test shards,build and all8
browser shards pass. These checks cover the final source; no additional
local full-suite pass is claimed.

The [frozen image
build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39334401638)
and [original normal package
build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39334407471)
passed. The exact image is published and independently retrieved
anonymously. No separate full-image scan is claimed. All18 original
normal archives were scanned with zero selected credentials. Docker
builds run in the cloud. Provider USD remains unknown and
GitHub-attributed.

**Qualification is complete on the recorded frozen build. Normal
protected merge, automatic master canary publication and final
shipped-package local/Daytona canaries remain. No production deployment
is claimed.**

## Risks

Shared Runner behavior can affect active tasks. Exact profile admission
rejects stale runtime identities. The final campaign and installed
canaries remain release gates.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The exact serving model ID and context
window are not exposed in this task. Used for code changes, review and
tool-assisted verification.

DottaandPaperclip 95672307f4 feat(runner): carry acknowledged Claude effort through native resume (#15994)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - The native runner must carry each supported agent setting.
> - Claude effort must reach its ACP session before a prompt and after
resume.
> - Installed Claude setup must find the owning server package without a
qualification override.
> - This PR adds those shared contracts and preserves historical
readers.
> - The Claude default change can then use the same runner path.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15683. This prerequisite follows the actual Codex squash
`adb69e8f09852c772d9901ae270e5b2d66e39c77`. Consumers: #15993 and
#15997. Related scope: #15422, #13978 and #15224.

## What Changed

- Add native-input v9 for Claude effort. Preserve v1–v8 readers,
including v7 explicit home modes, v8 Muse, Dot and Grok Bot.
- Preserve prepared task input and constraints through the newer
contracts, including completion-only continuation without wrapping
compact model input again.
- Carry effort through daemon/sidecar admission; require provider
acknowledgment before prompting and after resume.
- Find installed server package authority through the verified canonical
layout. Retain package-integrity, digest, architecture and no-follow
checks.
- Return Claude startup cancellation promptly while retaining unfinished
settings writes and the lifetime lease through cleanup. Preserve merged
Codex close/cleanup behavior.
- Retain both independently authored historical Pi profile-24
declarations. Combined master/Claude source attestations use Pi profile
27; pending Copilot remains profile 22. This does not expand either
provider's qualification boundary.

- Avoid a spare verified executable snapshot when Claude effort control
reuses its initialized provider. Preserve cold-control snapshot renewal
and acknowledged effort.

## Verification

- Reconciled with master `9179d8dcc3e908c217fde4f63c9d08ccf8132eeb`,
retaining its task-loading, progress, skill-retention, permission and
OpenRouter changes.
- Final focused protocol/provider checks passed 155 tests (one skipped),
the updated Pi attestation check passed 18 (one skipped), and 91
evaluation/catalog checks passed. Generated TypeScript/Rust profile
checks and Rust formatting pass. The integrated consumer's
TypeScript-only runtime build also passes.
- Earlier branch checks passed 369 protocol tests (one skipped), 72
catalog checks and TypeScript checks/build; their source identities
remain historical. No Rust compilation or Docker build is needed locally
for this proof.
- Current-head cloud CI is green. All three stack PRs have fresh
Greptile 5/5 reviews and zero unresolved review threads. Required
typecheck, test and build gates ran in cloud CI; Docker work stayed
remote. Earlier failed checks remain in their original runs.
- [Earlier four-target package
qualification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39267321383)
passed on source `04e0202ca81387b17cbe7fd094a8338648356fe9`; it is not
relabeled as proof for the final merge. Existing failures and
unknown-cost holds remain preserved.
- Current-head cloud CI is green. All three stack PRs have fresh
Greptile 5/5 reviews and zero unresolved review threads. Required
typecheck, test and build gates ran in cloud CI; Docker work stayed
remote. Earlier failed checks remain in their original runs.

- Latest-application manual continuation passed in 37.942 seconds on
`695e5c005a85bddc8711d3fcddcaf6b7e1fb64d0`, with High effort, native
Opus 5.5, Anthropic API attribution, the same resumed Claude session, an
independently checked 635-byte file and persisted Done status. It uses
the earlier verified Mac daemon; the preceding-source package
qualification passed at `dca62c7aeb4b45f0dd91a8e18d386a16a2658ef8`. That
package run predates the small TypeScript startup fix and is not
relabeled as qualification for it.
- Upgrade limitation: changed compiled sidecar identity rejected old
durable launch state and recovery hit session-open bounds before
eventually resuming. That attempt was operator-cancelled and retained;
the successful manual continuation does not qualify seamless upgrades.

- Local latency profile, Opus 5.5/High unchanged: three alternating
real-ACP loopback samples per variant reduce median provider-ready time
from 5.081s to 4.034s. The matched real API task startup improves from
5.533s to 4.348s, but total reply time changes from 17.933s to 20.221s
because agent work varies. This establishes a startup saving of about
one second, not a consistent total-reply speedup. A real candidate
follow-up passed in 20.146s and resumed the same saved session. The
loopback fixture makes no external model requests; failed initial probes
remain retained.
- The startup change passes 107 focused runtime/effort/lease tests, 53
profile checks (one skipped), TypeScript checking and the
TypeScript-only runtime build. Native hire fixture checks pass 70 tests;
their first local run retained a socket-hangup failure and stale
OpenCode expectation, both accounted for before the passing rerun.
Broader required checks run in cloud CI.

## Risks

- Explicit Claude effort needs a daemon and sidecar that support input
v9. Historical readers stay available; downstream builders and
permission-pin transport checks must also use v9.
- Source-bound profile changes may require reopening older Pi/Copilot
sessions. Copilot remains pending and executable package closures remain
unchanged.
- This prerequisite changes shared runtime behavior; Claude default
selection remains in #15993/#15997. No database migration or Codex
default change is introduced.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution and browser testing. The exact serving model ID and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 3858d2341d fix(recovery): default saved-monitor waits and keep task recovery quiet (#16686)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - A task must keep a durable path to its next action.
> - A provider can save a task monitor, then fail to yield because it
omits internal continuation fields.
> - An interrupted provider-pack check can then be reported as permanent
artifact incompatibility.
> - The task asks its user to certify recovered workspace files, even
though this is an operator responsibility.
> - This pull request derives the saved monitor continuation, bounds
verification retries, and removes that task form.
> - Normal recovery stays quiet. Unresolved holds retain inspection and
the existing safety checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A yielded completion without `continuation` is rejected even after the
provider saves an eligible monitor on the task. Repeated attempts cannot
finish. Remote verification also treats timeouts and missing exit status
as artifact incompatibility. The task recovery notice exposes raw
diagnostics and asks the task user to certify infrastructure files.

**Expected behavior**

Use current persisted task state to fill routine continuation fields.
Retry interrupted verification reads within a fixed bound. Keep normal
recovery in the working state. Show a compact notice only when work
cannot safely continue.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Save an eligible monitor on the active task.
2. Call `paperclip_finish` with `reportedWorkDisposition: "yielded"` and
omit `continuation`.
3. Return a timed-out remote provider-pack command with empty stderr
during recovery. Inspect the resulting task notice.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Source baseline: `aaeff418cf` (master integrated with its current task
visibility and saved-source reconstruction rules).

Related changes: #15824, #16104, #16451, #16493, #16690. This fix
complements saved-result recovery and verified pack reuse. It does not
replace their workspace ownership checks.

## What Changed

- Allow omitted or null continuation at the provider input boundary.
Read current authorized task context and fill a monitor continuation
only for the bound run and an eligible saved monitor. Keep accepted
results strict. Apply this to Codex, OpenCode, both direct and
production-sidecar ACPX paths, and external drivers. Reserve the
semantic call identity during the saved-context read and reject
cancellation or a changed run/turn.
- Bind the shared completion change and continuation helper in a new
Copilot v21 source declaration. Preserve v20 history and its decoder
support. Qualification stays pending.
- Expose the eligible continuation in task context. Completion admission
still checks persisted monitor state. No schedule is created or renewed
by the default.
- Retry read-only provider verification at most twice per command. Hold
exhausted reads with a distinct verification-unavailable cause.
Reattachment cannot renew the read budget through an unchanged
provider-attempt counter. Keep completed verification failures and wrong
versions incompatible.
- Remove the task file-certification form. Hide the notice only for a
matching durable recovery path without an unknown-action replay hold.
Keep missed retries, unsafe outcomes, and unresolved file holds visible.
- Add production-component stories for automatic recovery, blocked and
expired holds, reader access, persisted repair decisions, source
reconstruction, queued continuation, and mobile. Preserve master’s
guarded saved-source reconstruction choice after confirmed source
destruction. Update the execution contract and access maps.

## Verification

- Completion, helper, Codex, OpenCode, ACPX, and profile regressions
pass. After the sidecar review fix, 271 tests across the production
sidecar and three provider suites pass, plus 72 helper/profile tests.
The real sidecar MCP bridge tests cover saved-monitor acceptance,
no-monitor refusal, cancellation, duplicate call identity, and
raw-versus-forwarded semantic receipt hashes. The OpenCode tests also
cover eligible-monitor acceptance and refusal without one.
- The fresh full native executor suite passes all 743 tests. Four
profile, installation-integrity, and ACPX driver suites pass all 168
tests. The earlier CI fingerprint failure required a new immutable
source declaration; its follow-up Docker failure required the matching
context allowlist entry. Both fixes are verified locally. Targeted
server monitor, tool authority, and provider verification suites pass.
The probe tests include a real timed-out subprocess, an unrelated
responsive timer, transport errors, and completed integrity rejections.
- All 90 tests in the merged task notice, reconstruction choice,
recovery display, and lineage suites pass. They cover reader access,
live/missed/mismatched recovery, unknown outcomes, saved messages, retry
refusal, and removal of the file form. Both review findings have
failing-baseline/passing-treatment regressions: identical polling across
retry expiry, and a failed refresh after cached running activity.
- Browser walkthrough passed for automatic recovery, unresolved details,
a 390px mobile story, and the merged saved-source reconstruction and
queued states. The reconstruction control starts disabled and normal
automatic recovery shows only Working. The stories use production
components and fixture API data. They do not prove live cloud recovery.
- Token gates, map checks, and Storybook catalog generation pass. The
exact Docker context integrity command passes locally after adding the
new build declaration to its allowlist.
- Workspace typecheck and build pass on the final source, including the
versioned identity update. The final server and UI guards pass their
focused tests, typechecks, builds, and token gates. The final standalone
Storybook builds. The saved-monitor default retains master’s stricter
child-task visibility filter. Re-review caught an additional
production-sidecar validator before forwarding; the fix now defaults at
that boundary and has passing regression controls. After preserving
master’s new reconstruction capability, 68 targeted reconstruction,
tool-authority, and provider-verification server tests pass. The
current-master integration at `2a80050a0d` has a fresh 5/5 review with
zero unresolved threads. Its complete CI matrix, including Runner tests,
is the merge acceptance record.
- On the final master integration, local typecheck, build, and all 90
recovery UI tests pass. A concurrent runner run hit five 5-second
sidecar startup timeouts; an isolated sidecar run passed 86 tests and
timed out in the unrelated unsupported-bootstrap case. Those local
deadline failures remain recorded; the canonical CI Runner lanes use
their normal deadlines and pass. The unsharded local full-suite attempt
did not complete. It spanned source edits; the fresh native executor run
above passes. An unrelated workspace fixture timed out once and then
failed to reserve 32 contiguous ports on this host. Its unchanged-base
control and CI server suite pass. Full-suite acceptance uses the fresh
latest-head CI matrix; this PR does not claim a passing unsharded local
run.

## Risks

The default applies only to an eligible persisted monitor. An explicit
invalid continuation still fails validation. The added read occurs only
when a yielded report omits its continuation. Admission rechecks current
state after that read.

An interrupted verification command can add one extra 30-second probe.
Completed rejections stay closed. These probes do not change the pack,
launch provider work, or replay external tools. Two inconclusive reads
hold the original run. They do not schedule another reattachment with an
unchanged provider-attempt counter.

This PR’s pending Copilot v21 declaration binds the changed shared
contract, resolver, direct driver, and production sidecar sources. The
previous v20 declaration is immutable and remains decodable, but launch
requires the new exact identity. Qualification remains pending.

Task users lose the file-certification form. Board-authorized
source-only repair remains available through the resolution API with the
original evidence and stop-receipt requirements. This branch does not
deploy or recover historical held runs.

> This is a bug fix and UI polish within existing recovery behavior.
ROADMAP.md was checked.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, `gpt-6.1-sol`, xhigh reasoning, with tool use and code
execution. The host does not expose the context-window limit.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation:** Rebuilding a provider home is unnecessary
when the execution account is already configured.

**Proposed solution:** Add `homeMode: "preconfigured"` to Runner adapter
config and runnerd transport options. Keep `"isolated"` as the default.
Initially support native Codex and ACPX Claude.

**Alternatives considered:** Continue copying user configuration into a
private home, or add an approval workflow. Both add work outside this
feature's scope.

**Roadmap alignment:** This extends the existing cross-provider Runner.
It does not add another runtime.

Related work: #14056 covers managed Codex credentials. #14474 covers
command environment delivery. This mode uses user-owned credentials and
retains the existing launch boundaries.

## What Changed

- Add a closed v7 launch contract for the selected home mode. Existing
contracts retain their behavior.
- Keep homeMode under operator control. Reject task overrides and
agent-authenticated changes, including removal through replacements,
adapter changes, or rollback. Ignore stored task values and exclude it
from automatic hire inheritance.
- Skip managed AI login, assigned-skill materialization, and external
MCP setup in preconfigured mode. Preserve the Runner task/completion
bridge.
- Keep protocol state and provider lifetime fences scoped to the Runner
session. Different sessions can share a home.
- Fail preconfigured ACPX planning/read-only launches before provider
admission until a read-only user-home launch is qualified. Use isolated
mode or native Codex for planning.
- Reject ACPX approval requests. Keep native Codex on `never`. Local
permission rules and hooks remain effective. Initially require the
default Runner ACPX `approve-all` setting; other Runner policies are
unqualified in this mode and fail before launch.
- Keep the internal ACPX bridge in a stable session namespace,
preserving an existing user MCP server named `paperclip`.
- Reject preconfigured ACPX Codex before launch until a session
permission profile can enforce Runner-state denial. Remove the
unprotected full-access mode switch; use native Codex or isolated mode
for that model family.
- Bump Pi to profile 23 because its attestation covers shared Runner
source changed here. Preserve profile 22 for historical recovery, and
update Docker/package verification inputs.
- Fence recovery on mode and home bindings. Fail missing
provider-history recovery without starting a replacement session.
Exclude the external Codex home from backups and credential cleanup.
- Discover remote HOME on the execution machine. Do not project
controller HOME or XDG paths onto it.
- Separate task instructions from Codex ACP isolation and update the
generated provider digest.
- Keep remote configured-environment manifests consistent when dropping
controller paths. Preserve exact Claude model IDs through per-launch
environment settings, without editing the user home or patching the
provider.

## Verification

- Targeted local checks cover native contracts and launch allowlists,
user-config preservation, provider admission, permissions, session
recovery, remote environment projection, heartbeat preparation, and
operator-only configuration. Runner, shared, and server TypeScript
checks and the Rust binary build pass; generated ACPX profiles are
current.
- Following the latest master integration, all 757 server
configuration/executor tests and 115 Runner admission/recovery tests
passed. Additional review-fix checks passed: 103 planning contract/host
tests, 78 provider-backend tests, 95 route/preparation/inheritance
tests, 43 task-validator tests, and 43 workspace-policy tests. Counts
describe separate runs and can overlap.
- The real pinned Claude ACP/SDK regression reproduces exact-model
aliasing without the fix (`claude-sonnet-5-5` becomes `sonnet`) and
passes with the fix. All 89 adapter tests pass. User settings remain
byte-for-byte unchanged.
- Localhost-only Claude SDK probes with synthetic credentials verify the
private bridge runs, local `ask` reaches the existing reject callback,
local `deny` blocks without a callback, and a user MCP server named
`paperclip` remains available. No user model allowlist is required.
- Review regressions cover fail-closed provider admission, saved-mode
recovery before routing, controller-home path removal without
configured-environment manifest drift, pre-launch rejection of
unqualified read-only ACPX launches, and denial of task/agent changes to
the operator-owned home mode.
- Before rebase, `d4d4ee2aebe4cb88c4f4d9ef8e22fed4b36b87be` received
standard Greptile 5/5 with no unresolved threads. Prior Apex findings
are fixed and covered by regressions. No manual Greptile retrigger is
requested for this rebase, per reviewer direction.
- The prior PR head and master hit the same GitHub runner encoding crash
in workspace-b on three PR attempts, including diagnostic logging
([prior PR
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38818474563/job/116714538405),
[prior master
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38819528748/job/116712423193)).
Rebased onto `origin/master` at `c3ffa3f0dd` to pull in its bridge-test
index correction. The rebased head
`edd153db410bea063b645e0000aa68649f287b00` passes all CI checks ([CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38824676914)),
including workspace-b. Greptile's automatic standard review is 5/5 on
this exact head, with no unresolved threads; no manual review was
requested.
- Local workspace-b investigation passed 911 shared tests and 3,868
tests across the remaining 15 workspace projects. The catalog run
separately hit an existing ignored
`.agents/skills/design-guide/SKILL.md` description-budget violation in
this checkout; that file is untracked, outside the PR, and left
untouched. Repeating shared tests with CI reporting enabled also passed.
- Rebase verification: the final Git tree exactly matches the previously
reviewed branch combined with current master. All 192 Runner
admission/contract tests, 61 server preparation/provider tests, and 68
bridge tests pass, as do Runner/server TypeScript and generated-profile
checks. The real Claude adapter fixture hit an `ENOTEMPTY` cleanup race
on its initial run; all 89 adapter tests passed on retry.
- Apex on rebased head `edd153db` returned 2/5: ACPX Codex selected full
access without enforcing Runner-state denial, and agent configuration
replacement could remove the operator mode. Both are fixed in
`26e14dbbf`. Preconfigured ACPX Codex is temporarily unqualified;
re-enabling it requires session permission enforcement on thread/turn
operations and a real filesystem-denial probe. The config guard covers
effective replacements, adapter changes, and rollback while allowing
ordinary agent merges and operator removal. All 190 focused Runner
tests, 103 server tests, both typechecks, and generated-profile checks
pass. Standard review and CI passed before the next Apex request.
- CI on `26e14dbbf` passed 1,967 Runner-shard tests but hit the
previously observed `ENOTEMPTY` fixture cleanup race after successful
Claude model admission. `eb83284fb` adds bounded filesystem retries to
that fixture's teardown; all 87 adapter tests pass. Assertions and
production cleanup behavior are unchanged. Head
`eb83284fb42ee19a15d9a93b106c1bbb07e1695e` passes all 59 CI checks ([CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38829500857))
and standard Greptile at 5/5 with no unresolved threads. Apex also
completed at **5/5** on that exact head ([Apex
result](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/16486#issuecomment-6201559527)).
All review threads are resolved, the branch has no merge conflicts, and
the PR remains unmerged.
- No live paid-provider or remote-machine smoke was performed. The
lockfile remains unchanged under the repository's refresh-bot policy;
local dependency installation resolved the changed patch hash.

## Risks

This explicit opt-in grants Codex tools access to the execution home
(read-only in planning), including credentials. Native Codex separately
denies Runner-owned protocol state. ACPX Claude retains its existing
provider trust boundary, and the isolated default is unchanged.
Providers may refresh credentials and update their own metadata.

User configuration can block tools or the completion reporter. Existing
blocked results and failure diagnostics remain the recovery path. Edit
the local settings and retry; no new approval workflow is added.

External provider history remains on the execution machine and is not
backed up by Runner. Remote HOME discovery requires `getent` and fails
explicitly when unavailable. Other harnesses need separate
qualification.

The Codex ACP bundle digest changes. Existing sessions tied to the old
bundle may need a fresh session. No database migration is required.

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning and code execution. The exact
runtime model ID was not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip b8ffeb973a feat(runner): add experimental Grok Bot agent participation (#16219)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents that perform work for a company.
> - The shared Runner owns task admission, authority, receipts and
finalization.
> - An existing Grok Bot needs to receive assignments and return results
through that Runner.
> - The Bot also needs governed access when it starts work from its own
conversation.
> - This PR adds agent-purpose MCP access and routine webhook dispatch.
> - It reuses the external-agent Rust Runner and keeps Grok capabilities
explicit.
> - The provider stays experimental until the real-client managed
journeys pass.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Agent or provider**
Grok Bot, distinct from the Grok Build coding runtime in #13882.

**Why this adapter is useful**
Users can assign work to an existing Bot, receive progress, questions,
documents and files in Paperclip, and let the Bot initiate work under
its agent permissions.

**How the agent is invoked**
A webhook-only routine delivers bounded references. Dedicated
named-agent OAuth and MCP provide inbound calls. Setup follows [Grok
routines](https://cursor.com/help/grok-bot/routines) and [custom
plugins](https://cursor.com/help/grok-bot/connect-plugins). The current
desktop app needs its Bot-generated Webhook URL navigation link when
routine-row clicks fail.

The GitHub search found related Grok Build runtime work, but no existing
Grok Bot agent provider. This extends the roadmap’s existing agent,
Runner, governance and artifact foundations.

## What Changed

- Add default-off Grok Bot participation through the shared real Rust
external backend, preserving native provider identity guarantees and
distinguishing session closure from remote termination.
- Bind agent OAuth to company, agent, client, gateway and authorizer;
recheck permissions and task-bound execution authority without
manufacturing a native identity.
- Persist routine configuration, dispatch intents, authenticated
acknowledgement and recovery holds. Store URL/key together in encrypted
secret storage, use guarded public egress, and never automatically
replay ambiguous HTTP delivery.
- Reuse native tools, durable waiting, completion assessment and review.
Add task-bound file grants through existing artifact storage; suppress
proactive echo dispatch and synchronous result wake loops.
- Enforce the current native deliverable work-mode policy at file-ticket
issuance and use. Add operator retries for confirmed rejected wakes,
with retained receipts, stable retry intent and current-authority
checks. Recovery locks bindings before routine rows. Thread Stop
resolves the selected run and its agent.
- Cancel queued and preparing Stop targets before assignment creation,
restore saved setup after a failed request and successful retry, and
publish the Grok provider descriptor schema. Advance the versioned
Copilot source declaration for the shared schema change; its
qualification remains pending.
- Filter task summaries with the shared privacy policy, preserve
feedback admission when wake delivery is blocked, reconcile settled
delivery receipts without restoring work authority, and bind every Stop
control to its displayed run. Recovery records distinguish dispatch
uncertainty from a revoked session.
- Add resumable guided setup, credential replacement, consent,
management, observed work status and stop/recovery controls, plus an
interactive Storybook journey using the production task thread, question
form and report card. Grok’s own apps remain available; Paperclip
workspace and third-party tools are deferred.

## Verification

- Five focused protocol, authorization, person MCP and Runner files: 192
tests pass. The Grok assigned-work case executes the actual Rust Runner,
saves a document, uploads/deduplicates a file and reaches ordinary
finalization.
- Proactive intake/deduplication and renewed-session recovery pass.
These use scripted clients and synthetic storage; they are not
real-provider acceptance.
- Repository typecheck, production build, token gates, map checks and
Storybook build/catalog checks pass. The local full-suite campaign was
stopped after macOS shared-memory exhaustion repeatedly prevented
embedded PostgreSQL startup. No local aggregate pass is claimed. The
first clean-worker CI run identified avatar fixture/configuration, flag
defaults, feature-card ordering and OpenAPI route-coverage gaps; all
four focused regressions pass after correction. Those regressions pass.
The latest clean-worker CI run also found a Copilot source-hash
declaration mismatch after the shared descriptor update; the corrected
declaration passes all 28 integrity tests. The next review corrections
pass 144 rendered UI tests, 21 OpenAPI tests and 82 Runner
contract/integrity/history tests. The latest database fixtures were
blocked at startup by host shared-memory exhaustion; clean-worker CI
must execute their new regressions. Full current-head CI now passes: 54
successful checks and four intentional skips. The database regression
uses the PostgreSQL driver result shape; file-policy, rejected-feedback
and lock-order cases pass on clean workers. Current-head Greptile is 5/5
with no unresolved findings.
- Rendered setup steps and outbound-only verification were walked
through in Storybook. Simulation cannot enable Done without an
authenticated-reply state.
- Actual client OAuth, continued access, reconnect and one routine wake
with an exact chat acknowledgement were observed separately. This
candidate’s live authenticated challenge, assigned/proactive workflows,
Linux managed artifact, restart and cleanup are not yet qualified. The
provider stays disabled by default.
- The separate Cloud ingress change forwards only exact task-bound
upload/download paths and preserves host identity and header stripping.
- Current Cloud policy reserves Test for pre-merge app/harness
experiments; Staging accepts only master-derived revisions. Real-client
qualification needs a supported, authorized deployment target and
remains outstanding.

## Risks

One append-only migration adds routine/dispatch state and extends shared
bindings and file tickets. The unshipped migrations were regenerated
after upstream consumed their original numbers. Rolling back code
retains the durable rows; revoke grants and inspect unknown remote
activity before resuming dispatch. Grok cannot confirm remote
termination, stream its complete transcript or report spending. Plugins
are account-wide and do not isolate credentials between Bots.
Real-client managed acceptance remains required before enabling the
experimental provider.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex based on GPT-6, with reasoning, code execution and
browser/native UI tools. The exact deployment model ID and
context-window size are not exposed by this runtime.

DottaandPaperclip d6e6d1c78a Stream OpenCode immediately, scope reasoning to turns, and deduplicate instructions (#15708)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and observe their work.
> - The native runner carries provider output into the task transcript.
> - OpenCode sends incremental text in `message.part.delta` events.
> - The driver ignored those events and waited for a full part snapshot.
Accepted chats also waited after lifecycle verification was complete.
> - This pull request forwards each valid chunk as it arrives and
removes unnecessary isolated startup work.
> - Valid chunks reach Paperclip sooner without changing completion or
permission rules. The matched browser experiment below does not
establish a reliable end-to-end latency improvement.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The native OpenCode driver withheld text until OpenCode sent a full
snapshot. A local delayed-provider probe with the pinned OpenCode
1.18.34 runtime showed a 1,496 ms gap between the first native text
delta and the first Paperclip text delta (1,510 ms from provider text).

**Expected behavior**

Forward valid assistant text and reasoning deltas immediately. Preserve
repeated identical tokens, message roles, turn ownership, and final
response selection.

**Steps to reproduce**

Send an empty text part, then text deltas, and withhold the final full
snapshot. The new fixture requires the consumer to acknowledge its first
text delta before releasing the snapshot. The previous driver cannot
pass this handshake.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Baseline: `011e5669bad61c435a4745fb10812bef70376841`. The patch is
rebased onto current master.

**Deployment mode**

Local native OpenCode 1.18.34 on macOS arm64. Live diagnostics use
`openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731`. These are narrow
diagnostics, not full Product E2E qualification.

## What Changed

- Keep the macOS verified OpenCode launch pathname until child exit,
with guarded reuse and cleanup on failed launches. This fixes a
reproduced asynchronous executable-lifetime failure.
- Dispatch accepted queued chats immediately after lifecycle readiness
commits, through normal scheduler admission. Preserve ready state if
dispatch fails.
- Validate native OpenCode model access with the real hello probe
without a redundant catalog scan. Keep legacy adapter discovery
unchanged and isolate unspecified native probe directories.
- Map incremental text and reasoning to the existing canonical event
path, using observed part and message identities.
- Keep additive chunks without IDs distinct. Preserve ID-based event
deduplication.
- Clear current streaming part metadata when a new turn starts. Reject
mismatched session/message identities and unknown parts or fields.
- Disable automatic updates, remote model refreshes, and default plugins
in each isolated OpenCode process. Keep assigned MCP tools and default
model reasoning intact.
- Retain the latest cumulative text/reasoning part while its message
role is unknown, including completion metadata after more than 100
chunks.
- Expose `startTurn({ message, reasoningMode: "disabled" })` for one
OpenCode/OpenRouter turn. Carry the selection in the durable command
through Rust and the proxy. An omitted/default option restores provider
defaults on the next turn, including warm and recovered sessions. There
is no environment-level setting or automatic selection policy.
- Group optional Rust turn inputs in `CodexTurnOptions` and dispatch
through `start_turn_with_options`; retain `start_turn` for defaults.
Future turn settings can be added without another feature-specific
method.
- Expose a native-session capability for per-turn reasoning and reject
explicit unsupported selections before dispatch, including direct ACPX
and Codex backends. Runnerd checks the durable selected model as well as
the provider.
- Remove duplicate agent instructions from the shared OpenCode proxy
task envelope for all users. Send one system copy on every turn,
including prepared and resumed turns, because OpenCode reads the latest
user message’s system field. Preserve task constraints and completion
contracts.
- Document startup and streaming behavior. Add regression coverage for
role ordering, repeated chunks, final snapshot deduplication, and stale
turns.

## Verification

### Lower-load browser retry — 2026-10-10

**All 8/8 trials succeeded. In this batch, median Send → first visible
reply fell from 30.586 s to 12.476 s (59.2% lower).** Four fresh-agent
trials per variant, phase order before/after/after/before with two
trials per phase. Every adjacent-phase pair favored the candidate,
although one difference was only 0.301 s. This is evidence for the
readiness/probe changes on this host, not a production percentile or a
guarantee across providers.

| Phase/trial | Variant | Send → reply (s) | Observed ready → run (s) |
Session open → turn start (s) | Model requests |
|---|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| 0/0 | before | 45.042 | 25.337 | 3.629 | 2 |
| 0/1 | before | 13.689 | 0.000 | 2.443 | 2 |
| 1/0 | after | 14.696 | 0.000 | 2.526 | 1 |
| 1/1 | after | 13.389 | 0.000 | 2.470 | 2 |
| 2/0 | after | 10.871 | 0.000 | 2.706 | 2 |
| 2/1 | after | 11.564 | 0.004 | 2.443 | 2 |
| 3/0 | before | 41.582 | 21.518 | 2.376 | 2 |
| 3/1 | before | 19.589 | 9.753 | 2.707 | 1 |

Observed ready-to-run median: **15.636 s → 0 s**; zero means execution
began by the first ready observation, not literally zero latency.
Polling interval is nominally 250 ms plus HTTP time.
Session-open-to-turn-start includes controller handling, not just child
startup. All eight ran within the existing startup timeouts; no timeout
or reasoning policy was changed. Host load at fixture creation stayed
**5.47–8.73 on 18 CPUs**, versus 68.9–100.8 in the prior campaign. No
builds/tests ran concurrently with measurement.

Same merged source **b0a0158729a7913882a0e756fe7e27228d72bf53**, release
runner, rebuilt static UI, OpenCode **1.18.34**, model
**openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731**, provider-default
reasoning, and empty isolated workspaces in both variants. Only the
readiness worker and explicit-model verification source were toggled;
the launch-lifetime fix and all proxy streaming changes were held
constant. Thus this does not separately measure the original streaming
changes. One browser per phase, two fresh companies/agents/chats per
phase. Measurement begins at capture-phase Send click and ends on
visible Hi text plus two animation frames. Status/thinking is excluded;
emoji can arrive just after the first text. Successful screenshots
inspected. Each variant had three two-request turns using
`paperclip_finish` and one one-request turn; no status lookup was
observed. Reported usage includes settlement after the first visible
reply.

variant source hashes are unchanged from the preserved comparison below.
Measured turn cost **$0.00612574**, plus verification probes not
included in that figure. All eight attempts retained; all source/proxy
files restored and test supervisors exited.

Current commit validation: **53 successful CI checks, 4 skipped, zero
failing; Greptile 5/5 on b0a0158729 with no actionable findings.** The
previous 20 targeted post-merge tests passed. No source edit was made
for this rerun. Earlier failed and inconclusive cohorts below remain
historical evidence and are not pooled with this batch.


### Master update and failure diagnosis — 2026-10-09

Merged `origin/master` at `417db14e7d` into this branch without
conflicts; pushed merge commit
`b0a0158729a7913882a0e756fe7e27228d72bf53`. The incoming changes do not
alter OpenCode process startup or its timeout budgets. Historical
measurements below remain attributed to their original commits.

The four last-campaign failures never issued `turn.start`, so these were
**cold-session admission failures, not model replies failing**. Two
retained `session.open` commands eventually completed after controller
timeout/cleanup had begun. The other two ended with the inner
`thread/start` response timeout, and their diagnostics recorded OpenCode
startup retries. Startup event timestamps are buffered publication times
and must not be interpreted as exact process-spawn times.

On the merged source, two credential-free startup-only checks used the
real pinned OpenCode 1.18.34, empty temporary workspaces, a placeholder
key, and **no model turns**:

- Existing pinned executable: spawn at 1.083 s; failed health
attempt/retry at 11.311 s and 21.914 s; third process healthy at 32.210
s; session opened at **35.168 s**.
- Verified private executable path: snapshot preparation took **0.497
s**; process spawned at 1.588 s; healthy at 9.967 s; session opened at
**11.120 s**.

These are sequential diagnostic samples, not evidence that one
executable path is faster. Host load was **56.5–64.5 on 18 logical
CPUs**. The local health wait permits 10 s per attempt and the driver
retries up to three times; the outer controller's cold admission budget
is 30 s, and the Rust facade also waits 30 s for a response. Thus
retries plus setup/session creation can outlast the caller's budget. The
isolated 35.168 s success demonstrates that a session can eventually
open yet fail the app's admission deadline. Heavy load aggravates the
timing; its exact contribution is not isolated. No timeout was increased
and no new model-latency claim is made.

Merge validation: **20/20 targeted lifecycle-policy and heartbeat
run-completion tests passed**, including temporary PostgreSQL cases. The
first sandbox invocation skipped database cases; the authorized local-DB
rerun executed all 20. The package-manager launcher could not verify its
version via the unreachable registry, so validation used the
already-installed Vitest binary. Full CI/review subsequently passed on
this merge commit; see the October 10 retry above. Older results below
apply to their named commits.


### Follow-up: reproduced macOS launch failure — 2026-10-09

The retry exposed a startup bug rather than only host-load noise. The
macOS proxy deleted the private verified executable path immediately
after asynchronous spawn. A credential-free test of the actual pinned
OpenCode `--version` reproduced a fast SIGKILL and a 15-second timeout
in three immediate-cleanup attempts; three deferred-cleanup controls
succeeded. The timeout was killed by the diagnostic's own deadline. This
experiment does not establish the OS-internal reason for the fast
SIGKILL.

Commit `c30451e0ebf3f74e9ef70d37bbe4d9fe7fb56359` retains the private
launch path until child exit, cleans failed spawns, and waits for forced
shutdown before reuse. Source descriptor authentication, ownership,
mode, inode checks, and the prohibition on ambient executable fallback
remain. Overlapping reuse fails closed. The existing synchronous shell
test was changed to exercise the actual asynchronous boundary.

**Verification:** 59 focused proxy/driver tests passed; runner
TypeScript check passed. All six subsequent real OpenCode version
launches succeeded without timeout (4.11, 4.33, 5.73, 6.91, 4.95, 6.70
seconds). The native Rust binary is unchanged from the retry; no model
calls were made by these diagnostics.

Retained interrupted retry: before 42.56/18.69 seconds; after one
180-second timeout (`provider_process_exited` / health SIGKILL) and one
37.33-second success. The latter overlapped the credential-free
diagnostic and is not a clean matched timing. The next phase was stopped
before Send to diagnose the reproduced bug. Reported measured-turn cost:
$0.0016874, verification probes additional. These attempts are not

**Completed retry, stopped by the declared failure rule after 6 of 8
planned trials. No reliable end-to-end speedup demonstrated.** At commit
`c30451e0ebf3f74e9ef70d37bbe4d9fe7fb56359`, the launch fix above was
held constant in both variants; only the readiness handoff and
explicit-model verification path changed. Planned phase order:
before/after/after/before, two fresh agents/chats per phase, one new
browser per phase. The second after phase had two consecutive failures,
so the final before phase was not run.

| Phase/trial | Variant | Send → first visible reply | Observed ready →
run | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0/0 | before | No reply within 180 s | 2.777 s | session.open timeout
|
| 0/1 | before | 47.654 s | 9.383 s | Succeeded |
| 1/0 | after | 50.051 s | 0.087 s | Succeeded |
| 1/1 | after | No reply within 180 s | 0.151 s | session.open timeout |
| 2/0 | after | No reply within 180 s | 3.337 s | session.open timeout |
| 2/1 | after | No reply within 180 s | 1.434 s | session.open timeout |

Both successful screenshots show “Hi 👋”. Timing starts at the browser's
capture-phase Send click and ends at the first visible answer text plus
two animation frames; the first fragment can be “Hi” before the emoji
arrives. Thinking/status text is not counted. All four failures were
`runner_local_connect_failed: PRP command session.open timed out`
(`native_session_interrupted`), before a reply; none reported the
earlier health-stage SIGKILL. They are retained, not discarded as
outliers. One success per variant does not support a speedup estimate or
median comparison. Observed ready-to-run median was **6.080 s before
(n=2) vs 0.793 s after (n=4)**; this is sampled every nominal 250 ms
plus HTTP latency and is a lower bound, not precise tracing. Host load
at fixture creation ranged **68.9–100.8 on 18 logical CPUs**, a
substantial confound that worsened over the campaign. No local
build/test was run concurrently with this campaign.

Provenance: pinned OpenCode **1.18.34**, model
**openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731**, default reasoning in
both variants, empty synthetic workspaces and isolated probe homes.

`7f0c2b7f586cb753408351574b2239e22311944add99af4f6f3562cd6d47bbcb`. This

measured turn cost **$0.00120649**; verification probes are additional.
Including the earlier interrupted retry, this follow-up reports
**$0.00289389** in measured turn usage; missing usage is not assumed
free. Prior cohorts remain separate below.

Validation on `c30451e0e`: **59 focused tests passed**, runner
TypeScript check passed, **6/6 real credential-free pinned OpenCode
launches passed**, fresh Greptile **5/5 with zero unresolved threads**.
CI: **51 success, 4 skipped, 1 failed**. The failed native compilation
job never reached compilation: Docker's auth endpoint timed out during
Buildx setup, then failed the same way on one retry
([job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37994181674/job/114039737503)).
Full local checks were not rerun while measuring. The PR remains draft:
the launch defect is reproduced and fixed, but cold session startup
still exceeds the controller's admission budget on this host. Raising
that budget would not establish a faster first response.
<!-- launch-fixed-proof:end -->

### Readiness investigation and live rerun — 2026-10-09

**Measured queue fix; no reliable end-to-end speedup claim. Keep this PR
in draft.** Accepted chats could wait for the periodic queue sweep after
verification had already committed `ready`. The lifecycle worker now
dispatches through the existing scheduler immediately after that commit.
The normal company, pause, budget, concurrency, and task-ownership
checks still apply. Dispatch failure preserves readiness and leaves
recovery to the queue sweep.

Native OpenCode verification also avoids enumerating the full model
catalog before running its real hello request. Identifier validation
remains. Authentication failures, unavailable models, and timeouts still
prevent readiness. An unspecified local probe directory uses an empty
temporary directory.

**Queue-only experiment:** four before and four after attempts, in
before/after/after/before server phases, two fresh agents per phase.
Median observed ready-to-start delay fell from **19.429 s to 0.058 s**.
State polling was nominally 250 ms plus HTTP time, so the latter means
within observation resolution; it is not a precise 58 ms latency claim.
After timings were 100.20, 65.29, 63.78, and 76.97 seconds. Before had
one 59.65-second success and three 120-second response timeouts (one
provider health SIGKILL, one late success, one still running after
settlement and canceled). These censored results do not support a
success-only median speedup comparison. Focused tests overlapped the
last baseline phase, which further limits total-time interpretation.
Reported measured-turn cost: $0.0055383; verification probes and
incomplete/canceled usage are additional.

**Final matched experiment:** built static UI in both variants to avoid
pre-Send Vite compilation; current proxy, release runner, selected
model, default reasoning, and explicitly isolated empty probe
cwd/HOME/XDG held constant. Both worker handoff and model-probe changes
vary. Fresh browser/company/agent/chat per attempt. ABBA order, two
attempts per variant, 180-second response limit declared before the
batch, four-turn bound. Same Send-to-rendered-Hi metric as the earlier
experiment.

| Order | Variant | Send → visible Hi | Created → execution | Observed
ready → execution | Outcome |
| --- | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | --- |
| 1 | Before | 62.66 s | 23.467 s | 2.830 s | Succeeded |
| 2 | After | >180 s | 14.200 s | Within polling resolution | Provider
health SIGKILL |
| 3 | After | >180 s | 13.877 s | Within polling resolution | Provider
initialization timeout |
| 4 | Before | >180 s | 144.256 s | 14.067 s | Still running after
settlement; canceled |

Only one of four attempts produced a timed reply. **There is no valid
overall speedup estimate from this batch.** The dispatch delay is
removed, but provider startup failures and heavy shared-host load
remain. A recorded host sample was load 93.55 on 18 logical CPUs. This
is a confound, not proof that every failure was caused by host load.
Provider-reported measured-turn cost was $0.00032752, with no reported
usage for the other three attempts; verification probes are additional.

Retained earlier setup attempts: one shared-memory startup failure
before model calls, and a separate development-UI batch with a
60.06-second baseline followed by a navigation timeout before Send.
These attempts are retained separately, not counted as successful
response timings. No live attempts were silently dropped.

Provenance: source base `53580f8fbd40b963f3fb7ba5172ff3ede2e9ef1f`,
measured patch committed as `40b54eafb`, then rebased as
`c590770dcc2bb1debce14037935a7031e5c3c1ac`. **These live timings predate
the rebase.** Source and binary hashes are retained below. The inner
harness label `after` selects the identical current proxy in every
attempt; the outer campaign handoff label is the actual before/after
variant. Owned benchmark processes stopped and original proxy restored.

<!-- readiness-check-status:start -->
Post-rebase validation at `c590770dcc2bb1debce14037935a7031e5c3c1ac`:

- Full local `pnpm -r typecheck`: **passed**, including the native
release build (1,098.6 seconds on the loaded host).
- Focused lifecycle and adapter tests: **26 passed**. The 14 database
integration tests did not run locally because their hard-coded 20-second
database setup hook timed out. A retry with a CLI timeout override
encountered the same explicit hook limit. The earlier pre-rebase focused
batch passed 77 tests; these results are not substituted for post-rebase
execution.
- Local `pnpm test:run` was started, then stopped to avoid duplicating
CI on the saturated host. Local `pnpm build` was not run separately.
**Current-head CI passed Typecheck + Release Registry, Build, all
general and serialized test groups, Rust checks, both runner Vitest
groups, and all eight browser E2E shards.** The last general shard
passed 1,179 tests (72 files).
- Fresh [Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/15708#issuecomment-6085742217):
**5/5**, reviewed this exact head, no actionable defect.
- Final CI rollup: **49 success, 4 skipped, 4 failure**. The failures
are [Compile isolated native
Runner](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37990274515/job/114024329242),
[Docker context
integrity](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37990274623/job/114024196511),
[Canary Dry
Run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37990274623/job/114024196424),
and the dependent `ci / verify` aggregate. All three root failures are
Docker Hub HTTP 429 / unauthenticated pull-rate limits while fetching
Node base images. The native-image job was retried once and hit the same
limit. No source compiler/test failure was reported by those gates. CI
maintainers need authenticated pulls or to rerun after the registry
limit clears.
- Owned benchmark servers stopped. Local validation commands completed
or were stopped. The PR remains a draft: user-visible speed/reliability
is not qualified, and the Docker-dependent CI gates are not green.

### Matched live browser latency evidence — 2026-10-09

**Conclusion: the overall first-response speedup is not established.**
Twelve successful real browser runs produced a lower after median, but
the updated path won only 3 of 6 adjacent pairs. Median paired
improvement was -0.17 seconds (effectively tied). Do not treat the
deterministic streaming-forwarding improvement as proof that this PR
fixes end-to-end first-response latency.

- **Actual path:** local Paperclip browser → real server/database →
current optimized Rust runner → pinned OpenCode 1.18.34 → OpenRouter
`deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731`. Default reasoning in both variants;
no disabled-reasoning override.
- **Prompt:** `Reply with Hi and an emoji and nothing else.` Fresh
company, agent, chat, and per-turn native provider process for each
trial; same QA fixture instructions and selected model.
- **Comparison:** current product/runner at
`53580f8fbd40b963f3fb7ba5172ff3ede2e9ef1f` held constant. The baseline
substitutes the exact `opencode-app-server-proxy.ts`,
`opencode-proxy-task-envelope.ts`, and `opencode-server-driver.ts`
contents from pre-PR `41fec8c8921f9fb19c13fe11e2c9b71bf1017317`. This
isolates those changed modules; it is not an entire old-checkout
comparison.
- **Metric:** browser capture-phase Send click to a rendered `Hi`
markdown answer plus two animation frames, with a screenshot of the
answer. Thinking, tool labels, and status indicators do not count. This
is a DOM/render measurement, not instrumented compositor pixel timing.
- **Order/bound:** predeclared `before, after, after, before` repeated
three times; six trials per variant; 120-second response timeout; $1
campaign guard. All 12 measured trials returned `Hi` and an emoji and
finished successfully; none omitted.
- **Result:** before median **48.08 s** (37.42–66.40); after median
**42.50 s** (27.68–63.32). The 11.6% lower median alone is not
persuasive evidence of a reliable improvement given the mixed paired
results and broad overlap.
- **Remaining delay:** retained queue timestamps for 10/12 trials show
**9.76–41.65 seconds from run creation to execution start**. This is
before the OpenCode path changed here. Its cause is not established by
this benchmark. The final two queue reads were unavailable after
automatic server shutdown; all twelve primary browser timings were
retained.
- **Cost:** $0.010517369 provider-reported across the 12 measured turns;
$0.011371499 including the successful setup pilot. This is separate from
the older diagnostics listed below.
- **Retained setup attempts:** two failures before Send (composer
locator and transpiler helper); one baseline startup failure before any
observed model request (`SIGKILL` while probing OpenCode health); one
successful current-code pilot whose selector missed the visible reply.
These are retained separately, not silently included/excluded as valid
timings. The measured batch used the corrected selector and the same
release binary for both variants.
- **Limits:** local development server and headless Chromium on macOS
arm64, small sample, variable queue timing/provider routing/cache. This
does not qualify production/cloud performance or isolate the
contributions of each changed module. Server, browser, and owned runs
were stopped; original proxy build artifact restored; no product source
files changed for this experiment.

```

</details>

- Latest options-struct refactor: 33 provider tests and 86 backend tests
passed. Four port-dependent fixtures initially failed inside the sandbox
and passed with loopback access. Latest check snapshot: 51 successes, 4
skips, and 2 failures (`ci / e2e` and `ci / e2e shard (5/8)`). This
latency experiment does not make the PR merge-ready.

- Focused TypeScript suites passed: OpenCode driver, per-turn reasoning,
prepared-context recovery, proxy envelope, live sessions, Codex context
control, and native instruction measurements. The real runnerd/proxy
integration test confirms disabled followed by default in the same
session. A stale staged binary initially hid the new parameter;
rebuilding the release runner resolved it.
- Capability-guard regression suites passed all 53 tests; the real
runner/proxy boundary still accepts the per-turn selection. Both
OpenRouter and non-OpenRouter real runner/proxy cases passed, along with
62 existing OpenCode fixture tests. Runner TypeScript build passed after
the final correction.
- Affected Rust modules passed: 33 provider tests and 86 durable backend
tests. Malformed or unsupported reasoning selections do not dispatch a
provider turn or poison admission state.
- Pinned OpenCode 1.18.34 with a local OpenRouter-compatible fixture
sent three successive provider requests with reasoning omitted,
`enabled: false`, then omitted. Each request contained one copy of the
agent instructions. No paid provider call was needed.
- The reconstructed first-turn task envelope shrank from 4,356 to 460
characters. This is a payload-size measurement, not a claimed token or
latency reduction. Existing stored conversation history is not
rewritten.
- Prior head `8c07fe2e70267a7c8a3118f1071eca73ecdc6c8a`: all 53 checks
passed, with four intentional skips. Greptile is 5/5 with no open
findings. One bounded retry cleared first-test timeouts, a legacy
signoff lease failure, and CI runner shutdowns. The timed-out suites
also passed locally (14 auth-signal tests, 40 device-login tests, and
the runner resume case).
- Known reported diagnostic usage totals about $0.0029. Two prematurely
closed baseline warm-turn attempts are excluded from latency comparisons
and their usage is not fully captured; background provider usage is also
not fully accounted. No further paid runs are active.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed. Runner TypeScript typechecks and build
also passed after the review correction.
- `pnpm test:run`: attempted and stopped after a reproducible failure in
the untouched Codex recovery test `archives a damaged prior epoch before
completing guarded same-task replacement with real runnerd`
(`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-resume.test.ts:1072`).
It returns `needs_review` / failed instead of done / succeeded,
including when rerun alone. The broad local suite is not green. The two
initial collection failures disappeared after building; their isolated
rerun passed all 1,565 tests.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- Pinned real OpenCode plus a delayed local provider: first native delta
to Paperclip delta fell from 1,496 ms to less than 1 ms at millisecond
measurement resolution. This isolates forwarding delay, not
network/model inference.
- Two live driver samples after the patch reached first text in
2.28–2.62 seconds including session startup. Baseline first responses
took 12.37–13.43 seconds. Small unmatched samples had different
reasoning/cache outcomes, so these are observations, not an attributed
speedup ratio.
- Full compiled runnerd protocol diagnostic: completed with `Hi 👋`;
first assistant delta at 9.19 seconds and cleanup complete at 9.44
seconds. The seeded mock-control-plane harness used 27,512 input tokens
across two provider requests, split into 13,521 and 13,991. The extra
`answer_status_question` call posted `Hi 👋` to the mock task in 12 ms,
then caused another model request. A reconstruction contains 25 tools
(35.3k JSON characters), 12.8k system characters, and a 4.4k task
envelope; 3.9k instruction characters appear in both system and task
context. Provider-reported cost was $0.00073976; the pricing-table
estimate was $0.00395332. This is one integration diagnostic, not a
production latency claim.
- A separate full-runner sample with existing lazy tool discovery also
completed, but took 14.64 seconds through cleanup and called
`paperclip_finish`. Its usage ledger recorded 12,888 input and 11,776
cached-input tokens, with $0.00096344 provider-reported cost. This did
not establish a latency improvement, so the default tool exposure was
not changed.
- Four direct OpenRouter requests separately measured default reasoning
at 2.45/3.90 seconds to first text and disabled reasoning at 0.66/0.53
seconds. Default reasoning remains unchanged; disabling it requires the
explicit per-turn option.

## Risks

- Immediate readiness dispatch changes scheduling timing. It uses
existing admission checks and preserves the periodic sweep as recovery.
- Native model verification relies on the real request rather than
catalog enumeration. The final live batch had provider startup failures;
overall speed and reliability are not qualified.
- Incremental chunks without IDs cannot safely be deduplicated by
content. Repeated identical chunks are valid. Known-ID duplicates remain
suppressed.
- OpenCode uses its bundled model catalog plus the explicit
selected-model entry. New remote catalog metadata will not refresh
during isolated startup.
- Default provider plugins are disabled. This runner supplies
credentials and assigned MCP tools through its own controlled
configuration.
- Disabled reasoning is supported only on the OpenCode/OpenRouter path
and requires a compatible model. It applies to one turn and is not an
automatic latency policy.
- The matched live browser sample is small and does not establish a
reliable end-to-end improvement. It includes local queueing/startup and
browser rendering, but does not qualify production or remote sandbox
latency.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex). Tool use, code editing, and command execution were
used. The session does not expose a more specific model ID or
context-window size. Live diagnostic target: DeepSeek
`deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731` through OpenRouter and OpenCode
1.18.34.

DottaandPaperclip 57e977be72 feat: integrate Pi 1.0 into the experimental Runner (#14921)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - The experimental Runner owns provider processes and durable
sessions.
> - Pi needs working task execution and human controls.
> - The five-PR stack must preserve changes already on master.
> - Each layer now carries the complete integrated source for a safe
sequential fallback.
> - This PR belongs to native GitHub stack #15602, ending at #14956.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14436, #14631, #14743 and #14956.

Ship Pi 1.0 through the experimental Paperclip Runner. The five PRs are
#14921, #14922, #14923, #14924 and #14956. The user authorized the
complete merge after checks pass. Existing `pi_local` execution is
unchanged. Accounting and wider provider/platform qualification remain
deferred.

## What Changed

- Recover missing final replies after workspace finalization changes
owners, using accepted-turn evidence without rerunning work or granting
external-chat publication.
- Preserve the admitted Pi instruction root across warm runs, while
retaining changed-root rejection.
- Give Pi a bounded 15-second default shutdown grace so stop, drain
acknowledgement and durable suspension can complete. Explicit deadlines
and other providers retain their existing behavior.
- Integrate the Pi 1.0 runtime and master contracts.
- Use Pi profile 22. Preserve explicit caller-selected models and exact
native thinking levels. Keep Pi's wrapper, helper, extension and
question/control behavior unchanged from the qualified profile-19
runtime.
- Preserve master's Dot lifecycle and consent fields, configured task
environment, status guards and current Codex/Claude dependency versions.
Cursor stays qualified. Copilot stays pending; profile 17 binds the
changed shared protocol validation sources.
- Exclude general AWS IAM credentials from Pi static/custom provider
bindings and selected task projections; preserve the provider-scoped
Bedrock bearer key. Profile 21 is retained as historical provenance.
Rust and cloud install probes use the current declaration.
- Patch bundled brace-expansion 5.0.9 to the exact official 5.0.12
payload. Pin the patch and complete runtime closures. Include the patch
in normal installed setup tooling. Keep the upstream Pi shrinkwrap as
provenance and permit only this exact security correction.
- Include current attestation files in the Docker build context. Keep
the repository lockfile unchanged from master. CI and private image
builds resolve manifest changes before their frozen installation.

## Verification

- Full local `pnpm -r typecheck` passes, including Runner Rust, server
and UI. Focused integration checks pass: 194 Runner
admission/environment tests, 63 profile/credential tests with one
expected skip, 152 Dot/UI configuration tests, and Pi transcript/notice
tests.
- Full local `pnpm build` passes on the final source.
- Fresh final-source checks pass: all 698 Rust workspace tests (32
binaries), 156 credential/profile/controller tests with one expected
skip, Runner TypeScript typecheck, and 20 package/setup/sandbox tests.
- The profile-21 Pi materializer passes on the native host with the
official pinned Node 24.21.0 and its npm. It verifies all 150 locked
packages, the patched dependency and the exact closure. Setup/package
bundle tests and UI token gates pass.
- The old hashes were reproduced for all three supported targets before
calculating the patched graph. New closure hashes are darwin-arm64
`282022db10150c6632b3444df421342e7d534bdf5d5fb1097a2e79d0625a2bcf`,
darwin-x64
`64e251e19009f755c0b04f73ce2138246faab71a961b0f13d75ebfcc34bef12e`, and
linux-x64
`713b1fdff42fb56a1518bdc084f181d70bee8ebadc3e4b1d76321ed9108c8410`.
Independent native platform execution is separate from graph identity
reproduction.
- Historical cloud qualification remains unchanged: all seven core cases
pass on shipping source `10dc43c9ec65d88c2f782d62afb296d09494f215`,
harness `1a4408a48cfb5a1f094a311141c257c92cd7a893`, image
`sha256:5b3a775b383591bda1b0c1889e509acc70ce7f37c53f09733c81d59037f02280`,
and accepted Sonnet 4.6/low fixture. All 215 canonical files and all
seven cleanup checks pass independent verification. These are profile-19
results and are not relabeled as fresh profile-22 runs.
- Current Pi digest:
`sha256:e92078bee3c23bec4100aa589013a44613d054cd686826534025d8019e9f39a9`.
[The readiness
plan](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/codex/pi-production-readiness/doc/plans/2026-10-02-pi-production-readiness.md)
preserves campaign and failed-attempt provenance.
- Merge only after every PR's current-head CI and fresh review pass.
Linux CI covers the full suites, build and browser tests. The local
embedded Postgres API-authority suite cannot start on this macOS/Node 26
host, so Linux CI must confirm that suite.

### Fresh profile-22 core qualification — 2026-10-08

All seven accepted core cases pass canonically on Pi profile 22, with
`openrouter/anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6` and native-confirmed low
thinking. This model is a fixture; production accepts the caller's
explicit Pi provider/model.

Runtime/install source: `3241a992f2a7703e59e97ed0fd3e5d6405de4401`.
Frozen accepted harness: `1a4408a48cfb5a1f094a311141c257c92cd7a893`.
Immutable cloud image:
`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:506f22db7edd78f37c0c40bec1cc084af1850455026dbf467194bfbb8fcef141`.
Pi digest:
`sha256:e92078bee3c23bec4100aa589013a44613d054cd686826534025d8019e9f39a9`.

[Hosted Linux image and clean-install
verification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37868328023)
passes, including all 20 source-bound archives, normal CLI/Pi setup,
companion import and the production pack reader. This exact installation
source includes the latest master integration and the corrected Pi warm
instruction-root fence. Full local typecheck/build and current-head
hosted CI verify the final stack. All 13 focused real-root regressions
pass. The full local executor suite passed 662 tests; 15 database tests
could not start the Mac embedded PostgreSQL service. Hosted Linux CI
passes the full required verification and E2E checks. These fresh
results keep their own source identity; profile-19 results remain
historical.

All 215 canonical files (28714587 bytes) are independently
hash-verified. All seven cleanup grades pass, with no owned runtime
process or temporary root after each case. Automatic retries are zero.
The owned cloud host stopped normally after retention. The prior
profile-22 warm attempt remains failed and separately retained: archive
SHA-256
`1e54eba5ec72b50cee1534b23d1d1d4f21a090006b8a64501ba70db972abfde5`. Its
original canonical classification is preserved. Diagnosis reproduced a
product bug comparing an agent-files root against an unset
checkpoint-only field. The fix stores the admitted physical root
separately from the adopted per-run collection capability. The real-root
regression fails before the fix and passes afterward, including
rejection of a changed physical root. Fixture, grader, model and all
seven accepted case IDs are unchanged; this fresh campaign tests
final-reply publication after file registration first. The intermediate
restart attempt also remains failed and retained: archive SHA-256
`5dcaefdf1d17cf4cd54fd4cf810f45e736667392339b8ce7caf08bb4e225277f`. Its
original canonical classification is preserved. Pi resumed, wrote the
verified answer and completed its task; exact runner suspension was
proven, but idle stop consumed about 5.2s and left under 3s for the
drain acknowledgement. The Pi-only default shutdown grace is now 15s,
preserving a full 5s drain round trip and a finite suspension reserve.
Explicit caller deadlines, other provider defaults, literal drain
receipts and exact suspension identity checks remain unchanged. The
timing regression fails before this correction and passes afterward; all
18 focused settlement tests and Runner typecheck pass. The final-source
file attempt is also preserved as failed (`candidate_failure`), archive
SHA-256
`db6767b6773ea618997927ac77bdb005a5ac81492c7b9c0ffbc900449f829bc9`.
Native edit, validation, exact downloadable artifact and Done/succeeded
all passed, and the exact final reply was durably recorded. A workspace
recovery owner completed before the live heartbeat reached presentation,
leaving that reply absent from task chat. Recovery now materializes only
a completed final reply from the accepted turn of an ordinary internal
Done task, preserving issue/run/contract binding, suppression,
external-chat authorization and same-run deduplication. The database
regression covers the generated file-preparation receipt, suppression,
unapproved external continuation and replay. Server typecheck and all 49
response-selection tests pass; hosted Linux verifies the database
regression because embedded PostgreSQL cannot start on this Mac.

The delayed-final-answer database regression passes on [the final
root-source Linux server
shard](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37868262553/job/113628594152),
alongside 1,108 passing tests. The first root Runner shard had one
unchanged durable-resume test exceed its 5-second timeout; the identical
top-source shard and the isolated exact test passed. One rerun of that
failed job and its required aggregate passed without source or test
changes. The original failed job log and the single-rerun receipt remain
retained.

### October 9 merge verification

Current merge head: `5a8fe63512a7166aaef5cf50065a25008aa8b44b`. All
current-head checks pass, including `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`;
exact-head Greptile review is 5/5 with no unresolved threads. Current
master conflicts are resolved. The user authorized the maintainer
override of the code-owner review gate after these checks. The seven
retained live core cases remain bound to source
`3241a992f2a7703e59e97ed0fd3e5d6405de4401` and its recorded cloud image.

## Risks

- The security correction changes the dependency closure and profile
identity. Old sessions must reopen on the new profile. Exact identities
and credential bindings fail closed.
- The runner remains experimental and requires explicit selection.
Legacy Pi Local is unchanged. Caller model IDs pass through; the E2E
model is a fixture.
- Accounting and the broad platform/provider matrix remain deferred.
This merge does not publish a release or deploy a service.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex assisted with reasoning, repository
inspection, editing and tool use. The exact serving ID and context
window are not exposed in this session. Final live qualification uses Pi
1.0.0 with `openrouter/anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6` and native-confirmed
low thinking.

DottaandPaperclip d0f69670db fix(runner): recover saved execution prompts after upgrades (#15518)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs save an immutable execution context for restart
recovery.
> - The context includes the prompt text, revision, and content hashes.
> - The parser required that saved prompt to match the current release.
> - A server upgrade could reject a valid saved run before provider
recovery.
> - This pull request validates and preserves the saved prompt snapshot.
> - Routine prompt changes no longer need a catalog of past strings.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A hot restart selected a dead native runner for same-run recovery.
Reading its saved v5 execution input failed with
`input.runtimeContext.prompt must match the fixed Paperclip prompt
revision`. The new controller accepted only v6.

**Expected behavior**

Recovery uses the saved prompt and validates its content hashes. It
preserves the same run and provider session without starting a duplicate
turn.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native run and save its execution input and provider
checkpoint.
2. Change the fixed execution prompt in the server release.
3. Stop the runner and recover the saved run with the new controller.
4. Observe that the old parser rejects the saved prompt before provider
recovery.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The v5-to-v6 prompt change was introduced in #15446. The defect also
reproduces on current master before this fix.

**Deployment mode**

Source-built server with the native runner.

Related work: #15446 added task-monitor guidance. The held prompt-size
experiment in #15489 changes prompt wording but does not add recovery
compatibility.

## What Changed

- Read the prompt text and revision from the saved execution snapshot.
- Treat the revision as non-empty metadata and preserve the exact saved
bytes.
- Validate the prompt SHA-256 and the aggregate context digest.
- Keep fresh-run builders on the current prompt constants.
- Test arbitrary saved prompts, malformed fields, altered text, stale
hashes, and aggregate drift.
- Test recovery parsing for Codex input versions v3-v5 and OpenCode,
ACPX Pi, and Dot v6 inputs.
- Extend the real-process restart suite with both the incident's v5 wire
fixture and a prompt unknown to this release.
- Run the restart recovery suite in the existing Rust-equipped PR lane,
where its runner and fake-provider binaries are built. Verify complete,
non-overlapping test coverage for PR, release, and local callers.
- Document recovery from saved snapshots without a historical prompt
catalog.

## Verification

- Red: the new contract regressions fail against the catalog-based
parser with the original prompt-validation error.
- Green: 53 focused contract and materialization tests pass.
- Red: the real-process unknown-prompt regression fails with master's
original parser at the saved-input recovery read after process loss.
- Green: all 15 real-process restart tests pass locally on the final
branch. The saved-prompt cases keep the run and provider session,
replace the PID, and record one `turn/start`.
- Local repository `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed after
rebase on `89f09dad723766e5351953f0731b9aa5daada28d`. The 53 focused
tests also passed on that head.
- Red: the new test-roster checks fail against the old CI placement.
- Green: all 26 test-scheduling checks pass after moving the restart
suite.
- CI ran all 15 restart recovery tests with no skips on final head
`6719fc2bb7a31a0f72ea04c7e525a63dcc6f9105`. [Runner test
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37764782334/job/113271464966).
- Greptile scored 5/5 on that exact head with no actionable findings.
- The complete CI matrix passed on final head
`6719fc2bb7a31a0f72ea04c7e525a63dcc6f9105`: general/workspace tests,
serialized server suites, both runner Vitest lanes, Rust and static
checks, all browser shards, typecheck, build, and the canary dry run.
[CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37764782334).
- There are no unresolved review threads or merge conflicts.
- Reproduce focused tests with `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/contracts/runtime-context.test.ts
src/contracts/native-execution.test.ts
src/drivers/runtime-context-materializer.test.ts`.
- Reproduce restart tests with `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/paperclip-runner build:rust` followed by `pnpm exec vitest
run
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`.
They use temporary PostgreSQL, real runner processes, and a fake Codex
provider. They do not use paid inference.

## Risks

- The parser now accepts internally consistent saved prompt text that is
absent from the current source. Inputs must come from trusted server
persistence. Content hashes verify consistency; they do not authenticate
authorship.
- Existing execution-schema, ownership, checkpoint, provider,
permission, and session-compatibility checks still apply.
- This change validates the saved base prompt. It does not make all
additional code-generated instruction strings versioned.
- The process-level recovery proof uses Codex. Other provider coverage
verifies the shared input parser and retained provider configuration.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository inspection, code editing,
and test tools. The exact serving model ID and context-window size are
not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip b5342febe5 fix(runner): require current-turn completion after connection continuations (#15514)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents, tasks, permissions, and execution budgets.
> - Native tasks can resume after a connection decision in the same
provider conversation.
> - Each turn still needs an accepted completion report.
> - Compact continuation messages did not explain that reports from
earlier turns cannot finish the new turn.
> - The connection evaluator could also grade before the final reply was
stored or reject valid unavailable-access wording.
> - This PR clarifies the current-turn report requirement and fixes
those observation boundaries.
> - The original connection instructions and strict native completion
gate stay in place.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15489. The reduction remains draft while this separate repair is
qualified. Refs #15471 for the earlier connection continuation work.

## What Changed

- Add a current-turn completion reminder to compact continuation inputs.
- Keep final prose insufficient for completion. Preserve permissions and
retry policy.
- Wait for the final successful task run's saved, attributed decline
reply within the existing deadline.
- Use one bounded explanation matcher for both decline checks.
- Wait for a recorded tool-action rejection to dispatch its bound
continuation, with strict company, task, agent and source-run checks.
- Retain the exact grading input before later API refreshes.
- Add failure and delay regressions and update the Runner and evaluator
docs.

## Verification

The fresh comparison has **15/15 original passes on each variant**: 15
unchanged pass pairs, zero new failures, and no pending pair. There are
30 case attempts and **65 actual agent runs** (baseline 33; candidate
32). All runs succeeded. All 30 cleanups passed. No model attempt was
retried.

| Profile | Baseline | Candidate |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Native Codex `gpt-5.6-sol` | 5/5 | 5/5 |
| ACPX Claude `claude-sonnet-5` | 5/5 | 5/5 |
| OpenCode `openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731` | 5/5 | 5/5 |

Each profile covers service approval, service decline, connection
decline, provider decline, and selection of the second provider. The
saved replies, approved briefings, decisions, fixture observations,
final task states, and native completion records were inspected. All 18
saved decline-grade snapshots match their original captured inputs and
checks. Result, API snapshot, and final ledger run sets agree.

- Candidate source: `79905343bba280d462765faad19a26e7f179259e`. Baseline

source is separately frozen at
`dd777f4b7343305c4e6f44c422f44a1d78e12e4f`.
- Both variants use the same evaluator, fixtures, models, permissions,
720-second cell deadline, and 1,000-cent company and agent hard stops.
The only production difference is the compact continuation reminder.

`ea9e17f54fe0af1acbb2337ddfab8a7e92db8488bd0f59510a63095ca0229b60`.
- Provider-free transport capture: startup/resume input stays at 55,726
bytes. Compact continuation input grows from 53,334 to 53,535 bytes. The
42-tool catalog stays unchanged. These are Paperclip input bytes, not
complete vendor prompt tokens.
- Focused evaluator tests: 31 pass. Native contract, transport delivery,
and session tests: 194 pass. Evaluator support: 1,819 TypeScript tests
and 128 Node tests pass, with one intentional skip.
- Full build, workspace typecheck, and evaluator typecheck pass.
Current-head CI passes all required gates. The current rollup has 51
successful check runs, two intentional Storybook skips, and a successful
Snyk status. Review is 5/5 with zero unresolved threads.
- CI attempt 1 had one initial runtime-fixture health timeout. The exact
test and its full 164-test file pass locally. One CI shard retry passed.
The original CI failure, its dependent verify failure, and the retry
remain visible in [CI
history](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37711235060).
- The broad local `pnpm test:run` attempt was interrupted after about 49
minutes (exit 130). It recorded one failure in the unchanged Zep
memory-connector disabled-setting test. That test and the full 388-test
tool-access file pass in separate local checks; current-head CI also
passes. The local cause is not established, and this broad local attempt
is **not** claimed as passing. Three earlier local failures also pass in
their isolated checks; their original logs remain retained.
- The first two setup admissions were cancelled before provider jobs to
include the review correction. They made no provider calls. The
completed campaigns above are the first and only model attempts for
these corrected variants.

Cost evidence stays separate from behavior. Original result summaries
report only OpenCode amounts: baseline $0.039192096 and candidate
$0.063221620. Final run ledgers also retain estimates for Claude
(baseline $1.232439000; candidate $1.333611200) and Codex (baseline
$2.340324400; candidate $2.129335600). These estimates do not replace
the original summaries. Local and GitHub runtime are unmetered here.
Invoices are unknown. This is not a cheaper or faster claim.

## Risks

- A single matched trial cannot prove general equivalence or causation.
The reminder is an instruction change, not a new completion enforcement
rule.
- Candidate OpenCode service-decline finished within one continuous run;
its baseline used two. That pair passed the task outcome, but it does
not qualify the reminder on a resumed decline turn. No extra paid run
was used to replace it.
- The text matcher is bounded evidence of an explanation. It does not
prove reasoning or consumption of feedback. Bounded stdout excerpts do
not prove that every extra attempted tool call is absent.
- Missing saved replies or continuations still fail at the original
deadline. Failed native completion remains a failure even when final
prose is correct.
- The unresolved local-suite discrepancy above remains a validation
limit. Full remote CI and both focused local reproductions pass.
- The original connection instructions stay in place. These results do
not qualify the reduction in #15489. Its original 11/15 versus 12/15
grades and two new failing pairs remain unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The exact deployment ID and context window
are not exposed in this session. Capabilities used: reasoning,
repository editing, code execution, test inspection and eval analysis.

DottaandPaperclip dd777f4b73 feat(dot): complete onboarding and expand governed Runner capabilities (#15414)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents, their work, and their permissions.
> - Paperclip Runner supplies the same admitted tool authority to each
provider.
> - The Dot provider in #15402 needs reliable onboarding and useful
agent capabilities.
> - An idle Dot could not start work, assign a human, read skills, or
produce a workspace artifact.
> - Pairing also relied on a second configuration save before ordinary
admission could work.
> - This pull request adds governed idle admission and shared Runner
tools, and completes pairing atomically.
> - Operators can test Dot with fresh data while keeping normal company,
approval, budget, and run ownership checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Paperclip Runner, dedicated Dot MCP access, OAuth onboarding,
experimental settings, and empty worktree startup. This PR builds on
merged provider PR #15402. It reuses the merged MCP gateway from #14846
and assistant connection work from #14933 and #15380.

**Problem or motivation**

An idle Dot could see assignments but could not act on a conversation
request until someone created a task first. Its Runner catalog could not
assign tasks to humans or read pinned skills and workspace files.
First-time OAuth discovery and pairing also needed browser fixes, and a
completed pairing did not persist its binding reference on the agent.

**Proposed solution**

Keep Dot within the existing Runner. Admit a visible agent-authored
intake task for idle requests. Add people, human assignment, cross-task,
skill, and optional sandbox workspace tools through shared authority.
Relay assigned app calls through the configured MCP gateway. Add lease
renewal and follow-up references. Save pairing and its configuration
revision atomically. Show prerequisites and provide a complete copy
prompt.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the experimental provider in #15402. It uses the existing
governed gateway, task model, skills, artifact path, and native Runner.
It adds no separate execution subsystem.

## What Changed

- Add a standalone OpenAI Dot agent choice with an independent
experimental opt-in. It works with the general Runner option off.
Require Assistant connections (MCP), authenticated sign-in, and public
HTTPS for pairing.
- Use Dot’s own option for company package import. Allow an unpaired Dot
configuration to save after external billing acknowledgement; task
admission still requires pairing. Prepare the shared dev binary for
Dot-only opt-in.
- Label saved Dot agents as OpenAI Dot. Use prerequisite-check copy in
setup and runtime configuration.
- Route Dot creation directly to pairing after explicit external billing
acknowledgement. Hide local CLI, model, and harness setup for Dot.
Preserve the shared Runner implementation and canonical API type. Other
Runner providers still require their general opt-in.
- Add an empty worktree option with fresh signing keys and no production
data copy.
- Fix public-client OAuth negotiation, discovery compatibility, and
optional separate browser authorization origin.
- Add one-use pairing consent preview, clear copied setup instructions,
and atomic binding persistence and cleanup.
- Add idle request admission with stable request IDs and normal
scheduling, permissions, budgets, and task ownership.
- Add identity and people discovery, human task assignment and
reassignment, and authorized cross-task comments and documents.
- Read assigned skill files from pinned manifests. Relay assigned app
calls through the merged gateway without exposing credentials.
- Add an off-by-default workspace bridge. Constrain paths and writes.
Run commands in a deny-by-default OS sandbox with no network or injected
credentials. Reserve mutations before effects and never blindly repeat
uncertain work.
- Add rolling lease renewal, task pagination, bounded operation limits,
and deduplicated follow-up references without comment bodies in
webhooks.
- Add an off-by-default attachment reading setting. Restrict reads to
files on the current assigned task. Verify size and hash, cache bounded
verified copies per run, paginate text or binary bytes, and recheck live
authority before returning.
- Keep file grants operator-owned. Reject agent self-grants across
configuration routes. Preserve attachment consent in create/import
forms. Close generic API file bypasses while retaining current-run
response snapshots and permitted uploads.
- Keep provider limits explicit. Do not inherit a Dot binding,
attachment permission, or workspace permission when hiring another
agent.
- Include the required Markdown format in cross-task document writes and
validate the API title limit. Verify real creation and revision
persistence.
- Restrict command execution to Linux bubblewrap with descendant
containment. macOS retains workspace file tools and artifact publishing,
while refusing command calls. Explain the platform limit in setup.
- Exclude Paperclip instance state from workspace files, uploads,
artifact publication, and sandbox commands. Protect nested directories
and case variants. Fail closed when the directory protection scan
exceeds 4,096 directories.
- Add static UI compression for slow public tunnels. Document setup, the
complete tool inventory, and qualification limits.

## Verification

- Merge preparation on `00ca2c75b` integrates merged base #15402 and
master `fc6304dfe`. The ancestry commit preserves the reviewed follow-up
source tree. The subsequent security fix excludes instance state from
file tools, uploads, artifact publication, and sandbox commands. It
preserves private task authorization and task monitors. It regenerates
the combined tool catalog, seeded catalog digest, and protocol manifest.
Workspace typecheck, full build, and UI token gates pass. All sixteen
real Dot broker cases and 93 company import cases pass after the review
fixes and creator-attribution test correction. The exported
human-assignment catalog and Unicode page boundaries are also fixed. All
ten catalog tests and nine workspace/skill bridge tests pass. All 35
workspace bridge and authority tests passed after the instance-state
fix, including real macOS commands in that intermediate version. The
subsequent document and descendant-containment fixes pass 44 focused
tests across bridge, authority, and setup UI, with six Linux command
cases skipped on macOS. Real cross-task documents pass the route
validator and persist two revisions. macOS refuses command execution and
does not advertise the tool. Full workspace typecheck and build, changed
server/UI typechecks, and token gates pass again on the final commit.
Greptile rates final head 00ca2c75b 5/5 and its completed check
concludes success; all review threads are resolved. All 58 current-head
checks are complete: 54 passed and 4 intentionally skipped. This
includes full tests, typecheck, build, Runner, browser E2E, release
verification, and Canary Dry Run. The older full local root attempt
finished with 16,602 passes, 93 skips, and ten failures across two
suites: it began before source edits and retained earlier imported
implementations while loading later tests. Both suites pass a clean
final-head rerun (25 passed, six Linux-only command cases skipped on
macOS). This mixed-source full attempt is not a final-head full-suite
pass; use the fresh CI evidence below.
- Full workspace typecheck and build pass for the standalone Dot change
on head `392d54f80`. UI token gates are clean. The full workspace
typecheck passed before the final importer UI edit; the changed UI
typecheck, build, and token gates pass again on the final commit. The
server build passes for its unchanged final source.
- Standalone selection, creation, settings, harness visibility,
inventory, and runtime admission checks pass. OAuth onboarding and the
real Rust/PostgreSQL broker suite pass 27 cases with the general Runner
option disabled. Dot and MCP revocation still block pairing; other
Runner providers remain disabled. Create, hire, conversion, and
inherited-hire route regressions pass 68 cases. The runtime selection
suite passes 20 cases. The setup UI suite passes 50 cases. Company
import and dev binary checks pass 97 cases. Import UI checks pass 29
cases, including Dot-only selection, preservation of imported Dot
agents, generic Runner fallback, canonical configuration serialization,
and required billing acknowledgement. A read of the synthetic instance
reports the native binary required with Dot enabled, the general rollout
disabled, and no persisted native work.
- The latest attachment, operator-consent, generic API file-guard, and
bridge checks pass 80 tests. Cache and native lifecycle checks pass 550
tests; create/import builders pass 45 tests; attachment setup UI checks
pass 16 tests. The real Rust/PostgreSQL Dot broker suite passes 15
cases.
- Earlier authority, human assignment, pinned skill, confinement,
cancellation, inheritance, onboarding, replay, OpenAPI, and gateway
regressions pass their focused rechecks. Workspace writes reject
concurrent stale hashes.
- In the live empty test-drive, turn the general Runner option off and
leave Dot and MCP on. Add agent shows a separate OpenAI Dot choice.
Create rejects missing billing acknowledgement, saves the canonical Dot
configuration, and opens pairing. The existing paired Dot remains ready
and passes its prerequisite checks. No new plugin pairing was needed for
this UI change. The final browser import preview keeps a Dot source
agent as OpenAI Dot, falls back a generic Runner agent while its switch
is off, and offers Dot independently.
- Real Dot completed OAuth, signed MCP Events readiness, and an
event-only assigned document task in an empty synthetic instance.
Pairing saved its binding without a second configuration save.
- Real Dot verified human assignment, cross-task comments and documents,
pinned skill reading, sandbox commands, lease renewal, follow-up input,
and a downloaded artifact whose bytes and hash matched its receipt. An
idle conversation request created an intake, created a task for its
human owner, continued after a definite missing-file read error, and
finalized Done with exit code 0.
- After operator approval, real Dot read a synthetic assigned-task
attachment and wrote its file-only random proof into an agent-authored
document. Its first test required accepting review because the existing
document tool removed the final newline.
- On head `2626c8f9b`, real Dot read a 13,849-byte synthetic attachment
in two pages, used `expectedSha256` on page two, saved exactly its final
random marker, verified readback, and finalized Done with exit code 0. A
direct inbox check was required for this attachment qualification; it
does not claim event-only delivery.
- Previous head `392d54f80` passes all 55 checks (53 passed, two
intentionally skipped), including the full test, typecheck, build,
native Runner, browser, and release verification gates. Greptile rates
this head 5/5; all review threads are resolved.
- Head `2626c8f9b` passed all 56 checks: 54 passed and two intentionally
skipped. This includes full typecheck, build, native Runner, server
tests, serialized suites, browser E2E, and Canary Dry Run. The unchanged
Cursor managed-runtime test exceeded its five-second deadline on the
first attempt; its focused local suite passed all eight cases, and the
single CI rerun plus dependent verify gate passed.
- A prior full local serial test attempt reported 19 failures (16,141
passed, 88 skipped) and stopped before later wrapper groups. It began
before the final source edits. Every failed suite has a passing fresh
recheck; the macOS snapshot stress case passes alone in 227 seconds. The
previous head `000fb9261` passed all 56 CI checks. PRs leave
`pnpm-lock.yaml` unchanged; CI and the refresh bot own dependency
resolution.

## Risks

- Dot remains off by default. Its own opt-in does not enable other
Runner providers. It still requires the MCP option; disabling Dot blocks
new work while keeping existing recovery and saved bindings.
- Dot requires a stable public HTTPS origin. Its base provider in #15402
is merged. Temporary tunnels are useful for testing but are not
permanent deployments.
- Idle intake creates a visible agent-authored task. It does not
fabricate a human message or bypass ordinary admission.
- Workspace commands require Linux bubblewrap with a private PID
namespace; deployment qualification is still needed. macOS file tools
and artifact publishing remain available, but commands are disabled
because sandbox-exec does not contain detached descendants. There is no
unrestricted fallback. Command protection fails closed above 4,096
workspace directories. The historical macOS command walkthrough does not
qualify the current Linux implementation.
- Provider model choice, token usage, cost, native thread control, and
global external stopping remain unavailable. Known Paperclip budget
gates still apply.
- The workspace bridge and attachment reader are separate opt-in
settings. Reading assigned task files sends their contents to OpenAI.
Revocation prevents future reads but cannot withdraw bytes already sent.
Files are read on request; automatic inbound attachment staging remains
disabled.
- An existing event registration can retain earlier instructions that
prohibit extra tasks. Dot asked for permission before a second intake
after the final event-only bootstrap; that extra no-nudge continuation
is not live-qualified under that earlier registration. The later
attachment qualification submitted normally through the composer. The
revised onboarding prompt describes the new idle entry point, and its
protocol polling path is tested.
- OpenAI event delivery can be delayed; a webhook acknowledgement is not
proof that Dot has begun work.
- A running Dot can retain an old plugin catalog after tool refresh.
Refresh and actual tool exposure must be checked before using new
top-level actions.
- Hosted and remote controller modes are not qualified.

DottaandPaperclip fc6304dfe5 feat(runner): add experimental OpenAI Dot provider over MCP Events (#15402)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents, tasks, permissions, and execution
budgets.
> - Paperclip Runner gives each provider the same admitted task and tool
authority.
> - OpenAI Dot runs outside the local process tree and needs
asynchronous work delivery.
> - The merged MCP gateway supplies OAuth consent and signed event
delivery.
> - A personal assistant grant cannot safely stand in for an assigned
agent.
> - This pull request adds a separate Dot agent connection and a durable
Rust Runner bridge.
> - The operator can assign work to Dot and inspect its accepted work,
tool receipts, and result.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Agent or provider**

OpenAI Dot, as an experimental provider of the existing Paperclip Runner
adapter.

**Why this adapter is useful**

An operator can assign normal Paperclip tasks to an existing Dot. Dot
can read its mailbox, request work on an assigned task, use admitted
task tools, and submit a result. Paperclip keeps company scope,
checkout, approvals, known budget limits, and activity attribution.

**How the agent is invoked**

A dedicated `/mcp/runner` OAuth resource pairs one Dot grant with one
agent. A signed MCP mailbox event wakes Dot. Dot explicitly accepts the
assignment. The Rust Runner owns the durable turn and operation
receipts. The first release supports self-hosted instances with a local
Runner controller.

**Additional context**

This extends the merged public MCP gateway from #14846 and the assistant
invitation and device-consent work from #14933. This also integrates the
merged assistant tool and configuration expansion in #15380. Dot retains
its dedicated agent resource and cannot receive personal configuration
permission. The public assistant connection remains a personal
connection.

## What Changed

- Add a durable Rust Dot provider and its TypeScript Runner driver.
- Add closed PRP v3 external-provider operations and native execution
input v6.
- Add company-scoped pairing, mailbox, assignment, and operation
records.
- Reuse merged browser/device consent, client metadata verification,
webhook admissions, refresh, secret rotation, and warm-standby gates.
- Keep Dot scopes, issuer, grants, event workers, and tool access
separate from personal assistant access.
- Add Dot configuration, pairing, readiness, and consent UI. Keep agent
grants out of the personal Connections entry.
- Regenerate the Dot-only migration after master. Preserve published
gateway migrations. Make the new migration safe to reapply.
- Document setup, recovery, accounting limits, evidence, and remaining
account qualification.
- Reverify reconnect callbacks and wake outstanding work with a fresh
mailbox reference; preserve the existing assignment and operation
receipts.
- Clean up Dot bindings and waiting runs on OAuth revoke and
refresh-token replay. Old grants cannot revoke replacement bindings.
- Restore the pairing reference when an unsaved agent form is reopened;
document board-only pairing routes in OpenAPI.
- Accept a clean Rust exit after the acknowledged shutdown receipt.
Unexpected exits still require recovery.
- Clear the cached binding after a successful revoke so a failed
connection refresh cannot restore it.
- Add production-component Storybook states and screenshots for pairing
and connection review. All preview account data is synthetic.
- Persist normalized completion, serialize Dot turns and durable work
admission, and poll subscription readiness.
- Serialize mailbox writes and cursor reads; retain paused fence
acknowledgement without task authority.
- Authorize admitted review runs without changing the worker assignee.
Include the fenced assignment ID in production stop notices.

## Verification

- This PR integrates master `4a8178e9c`. Dot migration
`0317_messy_famine.sql` follows the published history and is safe to
reapply. The merge preserves the reserved migration connection,
batch-commit handling, private task checks, task monitors, and native
accounting.
- Local workspace typecheck, full build, and UI token gates pass. The
server typecheck passes after the review fixes. Database and native
executor regressions pass.
- All twelve real Rust/PostgreSQL Dot integration tests and twelve Dot
driver tests pass. The tests cover native document writing and
finalization, durable replay, queue admission, mailbox ordering,
admitted reviews, stale authority, production stop references, and
paused acknowledgements.
- Current head `d0e7e0626` passes all 57 checks: 53 pass and four are
intentionally skipped. This includes full typecheck, build, tests, Rust
Runner verification, browser E2E, release verification, and Canary Dry
Run. Greptile rates this exact head 5/5. All review threads are
resolved.
- The full local root test run is slower than the sharded CI run and has
not completed. The full CI test gates pass on the current commit.
Focused local regressions pass.
- Real-account pairing and event delivery on this base commit remain
unqualified. Live account and setup proof are recorded in the follow-up
#15414.

The following screenshots use synthetic preview data. They show the
production pairing component and do not qualify a real account or the
full agent setup journey.

![Synthetic connected
preview](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/codex/dot-events-prototype/doc/screenshots/openai-dot-runner/connected.jpg?raw=true)

## Risks

- This base adapter uses `PAPERCLIP_ENABLE_OPENAI_DOT=1` plus Public MCP
and Paperclip Runner. The separate experimental-settings follow-up in
#15414 replaces this environment flag with saved operator settings.
- Dot does not expose provider token usage or cost. The operator must
acknowledge external billing. Known Paperclip budget gates still apply.
- Cancellation fences Paperclip authority. It does not confirm that Dot
stopped all external activity.
- Assigned skill files and third-party MCP bindings are unsupported and
reject admission. There is no mounted workspace, model selector, or
provider thread identifier.
- Hosted agent-broker and remote controller deployments are not
qualified.
- The new migration follows the merged master history. Existing
prototype databases still need the normal master migration history
before this Dot-only migration.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The exact deployment ID and context window
size are not exposed in this session. Capabilities used: reasoning,
repository editing, code execution, and test inspection.

DottaandPaperclip fd8c6b920a fix(native): resume connection tasks after approval decisions (#15471)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native tasks can pause while a human decides whether to allow a
connection action.
> - The next turn needs both the saved decision and complete accounting
for the previous turn.
> - Cancellation could discard final usage, and complete direct Claude
API receipts could remain unpriced.
> - A stale blocked or review report could also request approval again
after the original card was declined.
> - This pull request retains shutdown accounting and rejects approval
waits bound to an already resolved action.
> - The benefit is reliable continuation with the existing budget and
approval controls.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15420. Related: #15312 addresses requester ownership during
dispatch. This change addresses receipt capture and final-response
validation.

## What Changed

- Retain usage events after native cancellation. Continue to reject late
provider messages and work.
- Drain same-turn accounting and terminal events for at most fifteen
seconds after a durable governed wait. Keep incomplete accounting
blocked.
- Estimate complete, unpriced, direct Anthropic API receipts for the
exact `claude-sonnet-5` model. Record the rate version and assumptions.
Use the one-hour cache-write rate when the receipt lacks cache TTL.
- Bind stale approval reports to exact interaction, action-request, or
invocation IDs in the same company, task, agent, and run. Cover blocked,
review, and response-wake reports. Keep independent reviews valid.
- Fence checkpoint and result writes after a controller detaches for
restart, including operations waiting for a database lock. Reject stale
successful returns before certifying accounting.
- Allow bounded subscription teardown only after retaining an actual
provider terminal.
- Journal the exact governed-wait trigger and disposition before
provider interruption. Recover that wait independently of a later saved
answer, replay retained accounting, and reject mismatched or unproven
terminal evidence.
- Give settling governed turns a bounded window before shutdown detaches
their controller.
- Keep fuzzy external app matches alongside installed capability matches
instead of forcing an unrelated provider question for a generic query.
- Return up to twenty exact active catalog tool names after an invalid
request, after eligibility checks; still reject the request without
granting access or creating an approval.
- Require retained provider terminal proof before settling a governed
wait, including when complete usage arrives before stream
closure/error/timeout. Retain harmless numbered cancellation events so
restart replay stays contiguous.
- Isolate accounting-test OpenCode config from the host plugin
directory.
- Add regression coverage and document the accounting, restart and
connection-search behavior.

## Verification

Current PR source: `0cf08efd75f8fb23f7989beda6dbda92587088bf`. The live
matrix below measured frozen `09a776bcb1f77422156f8be11e13f8c29f43e7f7`;
later review fixes are verified separately and do not relabel those
runs.

- Repository typecheck and build pass.
- Current runner runtime and cancellation suites: 191 tests pass. Six
new regressions cover stream end/error/timeout without provider-stop
proof and contiguous cancellation acknowledgement/request replay; all
six failed before the fix. The existing bounded cleanup case now
explicitly supplies terminal proof. All 31 adapter accounting tests pass
with isolated fixture config.
- New checkpoint-rebinding and approval-criterion suites: 65 tests pass;
runner HTTP integration: 29 tests pass. Unchanged executor/control-plane
suites: 640 tests pass; database-backed connection suites: 68 tests
pass.
- Current retained evidence verification covers 222 file hashes across
all fifteen original result artifacts. The three-case [published
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-37651896525-1/index.html)
and all eight screenshot hashes verify. The [three-case recovery
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-37662587356-1/index.html)
and all six screenshots also verify; the nine-result campaign did not
publish.
- Evaluation support: 1,805 Vitest tests pass, one skipped; 128 Node
tests pass. Eval typecheck and catalog discovery pass.
- Full local repository unit run was interrupted before the follow-up
edits after three tool-access failures and one runner HTTP failure.
Those failures pass in isolation; the 09a full run was interrupted after
one rapid Slack callback-ordering failure and seven skill-service
failures. All eight pass both isolated and with full-runner environment
settings, and all 74 skill-service tests pass together; the subsequent
full run reported two 15-second OpenCode accounting timeouts and was
stopped with exit 130 to apply review fixes. The timeouts reproduce
while copying this host’s 61 MB OpenCode config. All 31 tests pass after
isolating config inside each fixture without increasing timeouts or
changing assertions. A complete local full-suite pass is not claimed.
Repository-wide CI also passes on the final review-fix head in [run
37669185952](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37669185952).
Earlier database-skipped diagnostics and the older ENFILE run are
retained and are not full-suite passing evidence.
- Three-case live campaign
[37651896525](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37651896525)
passes all three original grades on frozen source 09a: 55/55 checks,
eight succeeded run records, complete accounting receipts, matching
checkpoint identities and no pending approvals. Campaign
[37653533353](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37653533353)
adds nine original passes (173/173 checks, eighteen succeeded records)
on the identical source. Its other three jobs failed before runner
assignment or any step while GitHub could not load the paid environment;
those original infrastructure failures are retained. Campaign
[37662587356](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37662587356)
completes only those unstarted cells: all three original grades pass
(57/57 checks, six succeeded run records). All fifteen exact cases now
pass on source 09a: eight FAIL → PASS, seven PASS → PASS, zero new
overall failures and zero pending pairs. Total current evidence: 285/285
checks and thirty-two succeeded run records, complete accounting
receipts, matching checkpoint identities, no pending approvals or retry
records. Earlier campaigns retain forty-seven additional run records and
two known same-run recovery attempts; actual provider-call counts and
invoices remain unknown. The nine-result campaign skipped publication
and its public URL returns 403; original artifacts remain retained.
Previous ba9 campaign
[37645656840](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37645656840)
completed 2 PASS / 1 FAIL: Claude restart/approval and Codex decline
pass, while OpenCode resumes but times out searching for exact tool
names and never creates the access card. That failure and incomplete
cancelled-run accounting remain preserved; the new catalog error
guidance targets this observed dead end. Campaign
[37642957312](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37642957312)
remains 0 PASS / 3 FAIL and exposed the now-corrected cross-run marker
leak and unknown-criterion approval gap. The original baseline remains 7
PASS / 8 FAIL, first repair 2 PASS / 3 FAIL, and second repair 0 PASS /
3 FAIL. All fifteen selected cases are qualified by their original
grades in this bounded trial. These live grades belong to 09a. Its
twelve governed-wait checkpoints retain matching same-turn terminal
fingerprints, but passing artifacts omit detailed event journals; the
later six adversarial regressions qualify the new terminal-proof and
replay guards separately. Final-head repository CI passes. [Fresh
Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/15471#issuecomment-6044369780)
is 5/5, confirms both findings are fixed, and reports no new actionable
issues. All review threads are resolved and the PR has no merge
conflicts.

## Risks

- Governed cancellation drains accounting for up to fifteen seconds.
Restart detachment gives a settling batch up to twenty seconds to
finish. An incomplete receipt or unproven provider terminal still
prevents successful qualification.
- Claude prices are estimates, not invoices. The estimate assumes
standard global API pricing and uses a conservative cache-write rate.
Unsupported models, billers, and billing modes remain unpriced.
- Approval identity matching must remain scoped to the current run and
the requested approval. It does not authorize execution of a declined
call.
- Original baseline and final candidate have different merged master
context. Exact-case outcomes are before/after observations, not isolated
causal attribution to this repair.
- No schema migration, fixture, oracle or grader change. Search-result
guidance now treats fuzzy external matches as suggestions. Existing app
authorization and provider-consent checks remain required.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 8cfedd7df8 fix(runner): restore task monitors and durable timed waits (#15446)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their task execution.
> - Agents need a durable way to return to work after a delayed check.
> - The issue monitor scheduler already provides a one-shot wake for an
assignee.
> - Native runners reject generic execution-policy writes and had no
bound monitor tool.
> - Scheduling alone is insufficient because native completion also
needs to accept a timed wait.
> - This pull request adds an authorized monitor tool and connects it to
completion and the existing scheduler.
> - An agent can now schedule its next check, end the run, and resume on
the same task.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native runner could not set its own task monitor. `call_api` correctly
rejected execution-policy writes, while `schedule_wake` had no
production binding. `paperclip_finish` also rejected monitor waits.

**Expected behavior**

A standard native run can set a one-shot monitor on its current task or
another accessible task assigned to the same agent. After a confirmed
schedule on the current task, it can yield. The scheduler later delivers
`issue_monitor_due`.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a standard native task.
2. Ask the agent to check the task again later and end its current run.
3. Inspect available tools and try the generic issue execution-policy
update.
4. Observe the missing native tool and the lifecycle-write denial.

Related PRs: #14680 concerns monitor notes in the shared wake prompt.
#11919 changes attempt-limit scope. This PR adds native scheduling and
completion authority and retains the existing cumulative attempt bounds.
It does not depend on either PR.

## What Changed

- Add provider-neutral `set_task_monitor` with a default current-task
target, future timestamp, required notes, existing bounds, and explicit
clearing.
- Check company, task visibility, ownership, runtime permissions, work
mode, and active-run authority. Preserve review-only restrictions.
Reject the reserved server-owned quota-recovery name before saving or
accepting a native wait.
- Commit the monitor, audit event, and retry receipt together. Retry
receipts survive a successor run without re-arming cleared or consumed
timers.
- Permit `paperclip_finish` to yield to a persisted monitor. Recheck
ownership and the schedule when committing final disposition. Release
execution without an immediate continuation.
- Preserve due monitors during native execution. Fence wake admission
and consumption against replacement, clearing, reassignment, and
completion. Preserve unrelated review policy.
- Expose scheduled and consumed monitor instructions in task context.
Update provider schemas, Rust validation, generated contracts, and
execution documentation.
- Add an opt-in live Codex smoke script with isolated data and explicit
run/session/runner/process evidence.

## Verification

- Repository `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed after rebase.
Server typecheck passed again after review fixes. All CI test shards
pass on `3def77b1b`, including runner TypeScript/Rust, server,
serialized server, workspace, and browser tests. All CI gates are green,
including the canary dry run. Greptile is 5/5 on the same commit with
zero unresolved threads.
- The local monolithic `pnpm test:run`, started before the rebase, was
interrupted after current-head CI test coverage passed. It is not
counted as a standalone full-suite pass; the focused local regression
suites passed.
- Targeted server tests cover scheduling, replacement, clearing, policy
preservation, cumulative bounds, cross-run retries, permissions,
provider-neutral discovery, review restrictions, completion authority,
and scheduler/finalizer races.
- Runner contract/catalog/semantic tests and Rust terminal-tool tests
cover the new operation and monitor completion.
- Live Codex test passed twice (latest live run on `e0bcd63e6`) in a
temporary database and workspace, with a 300,000 ms warm window. First
run `67bd7709-c089-4d4a-9d2b-0d6b618a34b0` yielded at
`2026-10-07T13:15:03.274Z`. Second run
`97c323f9-595a-4cc5-a007-db5a2fbb937c` started at `13:15:30.952Z`,
received `issue_monitor_due`, and completed the same task. Exactly one
monitor wake was recorded.
- Both live runs used native session
`7b1dd753-1c9b-4e7a-b22f-a125dbc3748c`, runner
`e90d9a1b-3502-4ee3-b15e-edc024c555d4`, provider session
`01a11680-6d01-70c0-9a55-db7246ed66c3`, and PID `64218` with the same
process start time. This proves warm reuse for that local Codex test,
not only successful scheduling.
- Reproduce the paid live test with `node --import
./server/node_modules/tsx/dist/loader.mjs
server/scripts/smoke-native-task-monitor.ts --run`, with the installed
Codex binary on `PATH` and a valid local login.

## Risks

- The scheduler now defers monitor dispatch while the task has an active
native run. A stuck run still depends on the existing recovery
lifecycle.
- Idempotency uses the existing run ledger; no table or migration is
added.
- Other providers share the tested tool and completion contracts. Only
Codex received a live model test.
- Existing `call_api` lifecycle restrictions remain enforced. Monitor
waits do not bypass task blockers, reviews, or approvals.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with tool use, code execution, and
TypeScript/Rust editing. The session does not expose the exact deployed
model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip d0db8820db fix(connections): repair native baseline and approval continuations (#15420)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and the tools they may use.
> - Connection setup separates provider preference from permission to
use a tool.
> - The first native connection baseline could not exercise its intended
decisions.
> - The browser used mutable task titles, and the provider fixture
already granted access.
> - Native provider-choice instructions also disagreed with the
preferred question format. Schema rejection gave no field guidance.
> - This pull request repairs those test preconditions and native
guidance, then fixes restart/approval defects exposed by the corrected
baseline. It also restores missing OpenCode tool-error evidence.
> - The benefit is an inspectable baseline before any further
instruction reduction.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15407.

The original 15-cell baseline remains 0 PASS / 15 FAIL. Ten cells
stopped on stale titles, two Codex cells had schema denials, two
OpenCode cells used already-granted tools, and one Claude cell returned
no native result. No intended user decisions were submitted. The exact
invalid Codex field and underlying Claude failure cause remain unknown.

[Original
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37562577199)
· [Original
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-37562577199-1/index.html)

## What Changed

- Match the browser's task route and visible identifier instead of a
title the agent can change.
- Start native provider-choice fixtures with no agent tool access.
Verify the public effective-access records.
- In the positive case, select Arcade, then grant its exact HubSpot tool
through the real access card. Require both saved decisions and exactly
one observed call.
- Return a canonical `providerQuestionSet` for native input and retain
the equivalent legacy `providerQuestion`.
- Keep invalid input rejected. Return bounded schema locations and
required field names without submitted values.
- Preserve Claude's exact session/content identity while allowing
authenticated registered instruction-copy paths to rotate on a new run.
- Reject duplicate approval reports for an existing exact tool-action
card before they create another human review.
- Wait for a recorded service-approval continuation within the existing
deadline; retain missing or failed continuation grades.
- Forward OpenCode tool activity through the runner facade, preserving
bounded errors and execution-part identity without inventing host-call
joins or exposing arguments.
- Preserve original grades, costs, scope limits and diagnoses in the
dated repair report.

## Verification

- Eval typecheck passes. Support suite: 1,801 PASS, one intentional
skip; Node checks: 128 PASS.
- Connection/schema tests: 51 PASS. Real-server public fixture setup:
one PASS with zero providers.
- Browser support regression: five PASS, including renamed and wrong
tasks.
- Focused Rust safe-feedback test: one PASS.
- Repository typecheck and build pass before the latest master replay.
Post-replay connection/shared/real-server fixture checks: 52 PASS; eval
typecheck passes. The browser review fix additionally passes all five
browser checks and seven suite checks.
- The full local repository run was interrupted incomplete after about
45 minutes, with five integration failures retained. All five pass in a
separate targeted invocation (1,250 unrelated tests skipped). No full
local-suite pass or root cause for the initial local failures is
claimed.
- Corrected frozen source `162cc90fdabe7f505b88ae095044531b82784c92`:
**10 PASS / 5 FAIL** across the [passing Codex
canary](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37575158761)
and [remaining 14
cells](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37576261807).
The canary passes all 17 checks. Claude's two provider-choice
continuations fail on restart, Claude service approval exposes an early
evaluator rejection, Codex service approval creates a duplicate
approval, and OpenCode provider-second times out after both decisions
with no HubSpot call. No original result is regraded.
- Final ledgers count 31 actual runs: 27 succeeded, two failed, two
cancelled during cleanup. All 15 cleanup/budget checks pass. The late
Claude continuation is absent from its earlier workflow snapshot; it
remains in the result/API/final ledger. Original evidence retains 279
hashes. Recorded LLM subtotal $0.04553787 is incomplete billing, not
actual total cost; local runtime is unmetered.
- New repair regressions reproduce the Claude attach failure, duplicate
approval acceptance and dropped OpenCode tool events before their
respective fixes. Nine Rust attachment checks, 127 ACPX host/adapter
tests, 33 completion/control-plane checks, nine eval deadline tests, 59
OpenCode proxy/driver tests, one Rust tool-error/redaction check, and
TypeScript/Rust composer parity pass. Eval typecheck, repository
typecheck and build pass. Existing support coverage is 1,802 PASS plus
128 Node PASS, one intentional support skip; two additional deadline
tests also pass.
- New-source full CI/review and live canaries are pending. The next
bounded selection is Claude provider-decline, Codex service-approve and
one OpenCode provider-second diagnostic with repaired event evidence. No
broader campaign or instruction-reduction qualification is claimed.
- Initial corrected campaign
[37574251834](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37574251834)
was cancelled during shared build after review found the breadcrumb
whitespace assumption. Its matrix job has zero steps and no provider
execution. The real adjacent-span browser regression now reproduces the
old failure and passes after the fix.

## Risks

- The corrected baseline remains 10/15. The new restart/approval fixes
require live qualification; OpenCode evidence forwarding does not itself
establish or fix its prior behavioral failure.
- The positive provider case now expects three runs, including separate
access approval. Its new results are distinct from the original invalid
fixture.
- The old Claude missing-result cause and rejected Codex field are
unknown. These repairs do not retroactively explain or erase either
failure.
- Path rotation must preserve prompt, custom instruction, skill/content
identity and protected provider settings; regression checks reject stale
or changed content. No connection authorization, JSON schema, budget,
cleanup, or final-result requirement is relaxed. Historical Everyday
prompts and gateway setup remain unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. The exact deployment variant and context window are
not exposed in this session. Used repository inspection, code editing,
test execution and retained-evidence analysis.

## Checklist

DottaandPaperclip a6306ba606 feat(runner): consolidate Cursor production integration (#15075)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native Runner keeps provider sessions under company authority,
approvals, budgets and durable recovery.
> - Cursor work was spread across candidate branches. The published
branch lacked later plan, permission and cleanup fixes.
> - Production also needs public installation and matching runtime
assets for local and Daytona execution.
> - This pull request consolidates Cursor onto current mainline recovery
behavior and completes that installation path.
> - The installed v11 release passed focused local and Daytona
qualification after the generic mode and lifecycle cleanup. The later
model-selection correction and current mainline merge produce v14
artifacts that need matching release qualification.
> - Cursor admission is enabled in source; publish only an artifact
combination with matching qualification. Native AskQuestion and complete
per-run dollar accounting remain excluded.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #14435, #14631, #14669, #14699, #14724.

This completes the Cursor implementation by @cryppadotta from combined
source `22c78242a4e0c2369fecf0c2dc4e7600fbad6706`. It preserves newer
mainline recovery, completion and warm-directory behavior. Pi and
Copilot remain gated.

## What Changed

- Generate named Rust and TypeScript ACPX release profiles from one
manifest. Share runtime pins with packaging and server verification.
Preserve vendor runtime versions; bind the updated ACPX patch to Cursor
profile v14 and reject stale generated declarations at build/typecheck.
- Remove ACPX model allowlists, including the former Codex and Pi
restrictions and the duplicate developer test-drive gate. Send any
explicit model ID unchanged to its provider and verify the effective
selection before prompting. The bundled ACPX package forwards unlisted
IDs, rejects mismatched acknowledgements, and restores the exact
selection after session load. It does not expand Cursor model aliases.
Provider rejection, mismatch, or missing model controls fails without a
fallback. Model examples live in evaluation fixtures, outside runtime
declarations.

- Add pinned Cursor execution, contained instructions, exact model
verification and Agent/Plan/Ask modes.
- Carry an opaque generic `mode` identifier in shared native execution,
sidecar, Rust and recovery contracts. The provider adapter owns
supported modes, defaults, native translation and acknowledgement.
- Keep native RPC recognition, accepted-plan interpretation and
permission evidence behind provider adapters. Shared settlement and
recovery verify normalized facts and their committed evidence.
- Replace the Cursor-only warm-attachment branch with a runner-owned
capability. Only Cursor opts into it. Move profile compatibility and
optional usage parsing into provider metadata and adapters.
- Write generic plan-wait receipts. Read exact historical Cursor
receipts through a separate compatibility decoder. Reject mixed formats
and preserve existing authority checks.
- Carry native plans, semantic questions, todos, child activity,
permission identities and partial usage diagnostics through the Runner.
- Preserve durable response delivery, cancellation, warm ownership and
process retirement.
- Finish accepted planning runs successfully. Keep their tasks open for
explicit direction. Acceptance does not start implementation.
- Ship `paperclipai runtime setup cursor` and its provisioner through
the public package. npm installation does not download Cursor. Setup
uses the OS account's closure-keyed cache so system-wide npm packages
can remain read-only. Run it as the Paperclip service account.
- Include Cursor in normal provider packs and Daytona images for macOS
ARM64/x64 and Linux x64.
- Reject stale release packs by source revision and current ACPX/Cursor
pins before assembly writes files. Verify current Cursor
version/profile/closure again at runtime.
- Ship all three daemon targets and the expected Linux image-pack
identity. A macOS controller uses its packaged Linux daemon for Daytona.
Image mismatches fail before provider launch.
- Use the vendored Runner boundary for installed readiness probes.
Verify the actual installed Cursor probe.
- Verify compiled public Daytona plugins and their release versions in
installed smokes.
- Record exact artifacts, the acceptance matrix, retained failures,
supported capabilities and rollback behavior in the [readiness
report](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/codex/cursor-production-readiness/doc/plans/2026-10-03-cursor-production-readiness.md).

## Verification

- Current head `f7ec5cc1f0e30c62a829c016ff2013a2a9d79037` merges
mainline `faa8e452c73bae5e044dd6379179a00106abb131`. It keeps Cursor
plan and cancellation guards alongside mainline historical-question
filtering. The evaluation catalog includes both Cursor and expanded
adapter accounting cases (683 total). Recursive typecheck, full build,
696 lifecycle/recovery tests, 45 fixture tests and fixture typecheck
passed. Current-head CI passed: 56 successful checks, one neutral and
four skipped. [Complete
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37557996535).
The fresh Base Greptile review is 5/5 on this exact head, with 304 files
reviewed, zero new comments and zero unresolved threads. The user
authorized overriding the CODEOWNER review gate after checks passed; no
failing checks are overridden. Prior results below retain their own head
identities.
- Corrective head `3d2b168366258036f6b6a6fccb382c49138cc601` fixes the
post-merge Apex finding. Automatic-review and new-evidence
reconciliation preserve pending child results and recheck delivery under
the status lock before completing. Account repair now excludes unrelated
secret consumers and requires the failed agent's identity. Regression
coverage includes the commit race, delivery statuses,
current-run/current-intent exclusions, repeated reconciliation, both
database reconciliation paths, and credential consumer boundaries. All
184 affected tests, server typecheck and server build passed.
Current-head Base Greptile review is 5/5, with 304 files reviewed, zero
new comments and zero unresolved threads. Current-head CI passed: 56
successful checks, one neutral and four skipped. [Complete
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37535994724).
This Base review is distinct from the earlier Apex review.
- Merge head `5957c257a` reconciles mainline `b508a05c4`. It preserves
both accepted-plan waits and pending-child-completion checks, current
provider selectors, task-creation response identities, and mainline ACPX
missing-file handling. The combined patch is bound to Cursor profile
v14; historical records keep their original identities.
- Merge head `5957c257a` passed recursive typecheck, full build, 43
installed ACPX/package contracts, 107 provider UI and plan/recovery
tests, 593 database-backed lifecycle tests, 49 profile/native contract
tests, 45 Product E2E fixture tests, fixture typecheck, token gates,
three provider-free browser task-creation cases, and Runner
conformance/replay checks. Its complete CI passed (55 successful checks,
one neutral and four skipped), while Apex returned 2/5 with a
child-delivery finding addressed below.
- The local full-suite attempt again failed the unchanged Git streaming
test (360-second timeout) and was stopped. The concurrent local Rust
attempt failed four unchanged Codex process/deadline tests; all four
passed serially without code changes in 7.29 seconds after removing the
competing test load. These failed commands are retained and are not
reported as full-suite passes; the fresh Linux CI runs are tracked
separately.
- The previous head `907bdb2a2778c7ffeb4a662a91460c9d1ddfc9c5` earned
Apex 5/5 with zero comments after fixing all three findings: per-user
install cache, stale release-pack rejection, and public Linux smoke
account/home handling. Its real built installer passed from read-only
public packages on macOS ARM64 and Linux x64. All 137 release-registry
checks and 64 ACPX package contracts passed. That review does not cover
this mainline reconciliation.
- Prior `beadd3654` passed the full CI matrix; its one unchanged chat
test failure and successful single retry remain in the [CI
history](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37521449327).
Historical results below remain attributed to their original builds.

- Fixture follow-up `dd59d7e82b103a88b7cbd7d2c38b612c0fbbff7a` removes
provider-specific model choices from generic offline ACPX tests. The
fake sidecar preserves the model and session identity selected at open
through suspension. Affected verification passed: 106 Rust tests and 73
TypeScript tests. This commit changes test code only; the
production-code checks below retain their recorded identities. Its CI
and Greptile review later passed; those results belong to that
historical head.
- Model-selection cleanup `9a070808b48960a41fdfd369ae0636b95af82459`:
252 focused Runner tests passed (six platform skips), covering all six
ACPX agents, native model acknowledgement, rejected selections,
installation integrity and recovery identity. The merged branch passed
recursive typecheck, full build, token gates, server admission (19
tests), and the Product E2E catalog (45 tests). The acceptance catalog
passed all four tests. The full Rust suite passed: 643 tests, 2 ignored.
It verifies sidecar acknowledgement of unlisted models and rejection of
model mismatches. The final commits only update Rust tests; production
sources match the verified build at
`65ec3279ac50185e3cda109b5cfd9b4f56105de0`. No new paid provider calls
were made.
- The merge preserves both Cursor and the new mainline public-MCP
fixture cases. Auto-merge remains disabled; the latest follow-up status
is recorded above. The local `pnpm test:run` attempt hit the unchanged
Git streaming test's 300-second timeout and was interrupted before
merging mainline. The broad Runner attempt found obsolete single-model
assertions plus three macOS fixture-path failures caused by a
`/private/tmp` override. The assertions are corrected; affected
TypeScript checks passed with the standard macOS temporary directory,
and the complete Rust suite passed. Neither interrupted command is a
full-suite pass.
- Earlier declaration-cleanup head `6f4a5e9e2` passed recursive
typecheck, build, Rust and focused tests. Its CI later exposed a test
expecting duplicated Grok digest literals. The current source fixes that
assertion to compare launcher bytes with the shared manifest. Historical
successes and failed attempts are retained; no new live provider
qualification is claimed.
- Previous head `e75fde6098b0ddd8cec765bfb6ecaeecb88a26a6` passed
complete CI (56 successful checks, one neutral, four skipped) and
Greptile 5/5. [Historical complete
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37489112305).
Those results are not claimed for the cleanup head.
- Frozen live application: `d7b696f9b8f79095233e9e3d56d23e6a6018dd48`.
Public package version: `0.0.0-cursor-verify.3d0c9b7761c6`. The
declaration cleanup preserves release pins and does not relabel that
tested artifact as a build of the new source. Mainline through
`e34abee670` was reconciled while preserving accepted-plan waits,
provider-capacity handling, and both Cursor and public-MCP fixtures.
- Clean normal installation, explicit Cursor setup and daemon resolution
passed on macOS ARM64, macOS x64 under Rosetta, and Linux x64. npm
lifecycle hooks ran without silently downloading Cursor.
- Historical v11 live matrix: **18/18 passed with cleanup** (nine local,
nine Daytona) after the generic mode and lifecycle cleanup. The campaign
has 23 attempts; all five failures and their diagnoses remain recorded.
Exact case identities, hashes and limits are in the readiness report.
All provider calls are real, use the explicit Luna model and
company-bound credentials, and run without qualification or
runtime-asset overrides.
- The immutable Daytona image is
`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:d6259b6bba094702c13fc2283bd85550849c1c53145b656fb2746778f9fa1747`.
The public Daytona plugin is installed independently and its version is
checked.
- Recursive typecheck, full build, token gates and Runner
contract/conformance/replay checks passed on the frozen application. Its
complete Linux CI suite passed. The duplicate local full-suite command
was incomplete after timing failures; affected repeats passed, but that
command is not reported as a clean pass.
- Qualification fixtures passed typecheck, 1,675 Vitest tests (one
skip), 128 Node checks, three provider-free browser tests, and 150
focused lifecycle tests after the final diagnostic correction. The
affected legacy Cursor command file also passed all five tests after
removing its shorter 10-second override; it now inherits the suite’s
standard 15-second timeout. Greptile is 5/5 on `e75fde609` with no
unresolved review threads. CI results above are recorded separately from
historical build results.

## Risks

- Cursor v14 includes the updated ACPX dependency patch and release
identity. The v11 live matrix and image below remain historical
evidence. They do not certify new v14 package/image artifacts.

- ACPX accepts models beyond the qualification fixtures. Availability
and entitlement depend on the provider. Successful configuration is not
a claim of live qualification for every model.
- Shared mode is an opaque identifier. Provider adapters own its
meaning. Incompatible historical sessions remain fenced; exact committed
plan waits and task history remain inspectable.
- Native AskQuestion is excluded. Paperclip semantic questions are
supported. Authoritative per-run dollar accounting is unavailable;
partial counters remain diagnostics and unknown cost is not zero.
- Image input, detailed native diffs, deeper child transcripts and
native plan-file export remain follow-ups.
- macOS x64 has clean-install and daemon-startup proof under Rosetta,
not a separate live campaign on Intel hardware.
- Release only the tested package/image combination. Merging this PR
does not publish npm packages or deploy that image. Later builds need
their own release verification. Rollback disables new Cursor admission
while preserving records and recovery inspection.
- A model can fail an exact instruction: one cancelled-plan attempt
returned the wrong summary marker despite correct cancellation. The
unchanged repeat passed; both results remain in the report.

> ROADMAP.md was checked. This completes existing native Runner/Cursor
work; it does not add an independent core feature proposal.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. The exact serving variant and context window are
not exposed in this session. The agent used reasoning, repository
inspection, code execution, protocol tests and browser-backed Product
E2E tools. Cursor acceptance uses the explicit
`gpt-5.6-luna[context=272k,reasoning=medium,fast=false]` model. That is
the evaluated provider model.

DottaandPaperclip 9f7057e122 feat(connections): configure custom model providers across agent harnesses (#14970)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents use a harness, a model, and a credential to run tasks.
> - Connections already store credentials and control who can use them.
> - Custom providers also need an endpoint and a supported API format.
> - A per-agent endpoint would duplicate credentials and access rules.
> - This pull request stores routing on the connection and projects it
into the harness.
> - Isolated credentials and protocol checks keep the selected
connection authoritative.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #37, #13083, #14104, #14565, #12692.

#14016 is a reference only. This PR has its own schema, vault
persistence, routing validation, runtime projection, and tests. None of
the five commits in #14016 is an ancestor of this branch. We do not
depend on or plan to merge it. #14967 addresses task-pinned account
pools. #14422 addresses another provider integration.

This is the first of two linked PRs. Merge this connection change before
#15341, which refines agent setup and adds the qualification harness.
The split keeps each review below 100 changed files. Provider catalog
entries have usable setup forms in this PR. Local browser subscription
sign-in is included.

## What Changed

- Store non-secret routing metadata on AI connections. Vault provider
API keys, including Bedrock bearer API keys. Reject general AWS access
keys.
- Enforce company, owner, human audience, agent access, connection
status, and protocol checks before resolving credentials. Keep reconnect
destinations immutable and retain connection identity during key
rotation.
- Project OpenRouter and compatible custom endpoints into Codex, Claude,
OpenCode, and local Hermes. Carry these settings through both legacy and
native runner transports. Clear conflicting host credentials and redact
keys from diagnostics.
- Preserve older OpenRouter accounts and native personal defaults. Add
Google API-key accounts and migration `0306` for the two
provider-default constraints.
- Run local Claude and Codex subscription sign-in behind the existing
browser sign-in card. Use private attempt homes and owner-bound
completion instead of a copied terminal command.
- Seed isolated Gemini authentication and preserve OpenCode workspace
permissions. Keep the selected connection authoritative. The independent
Gemini and Grok workflow fixes are in #15341.
- Keep native OpenCode custom gateway keys in a runner-owned
selected-model proxy; the harness config contains only a session-scoped
capability. Honor runtime outgoing proxy and certificate settings.
Preserve streamed responses and revoke the proxy on close or startup
failure.
- Allow ordinary members to connect native personal accounts before an
agent exists.
- Repair routed accounts from task cards using the saved provider
destination, protocol, model aliases, and connection identity.
- Add provider catalog definitions, model discovery, pinned logos, and
complete native and routed setup forms. Allow a personal routed
connection before a new agent exists. Keep endpoint authentication keys
out of Hermes terminal children.
- Recover cancelled or restarted browser sign-in with a clear restart
action. Support no-auth endpoints without a vault credential. Add
isolation and recovery regressions and runtime documentation.

## Verification

- Updated with `origin/master` at `22a3ea341`. Migration `0306` follows
the new master migration and passes migration and snapshot checks.
- The integrated connection regressions passed 152 tests and 50 native
OpenCode driver tests, including key-free child-shell configuration
reads, authenticated/no-auth forwarding, streaming, model/path
restrictions, cancellation, outgoing proxy routing, and NO_PROXY bypass.
Provider setup has 14 passing tests. The pinned real OpenCode 1.18.34
executable also completed a turn through the proxy against a local
synthetic provider; the reusable key was absent from its config. A
second real-executable smoke passed with an HTTPS CONNECT proxy and
runtime-specific synthetic certificate trust. Certificate-file and
certificate-directory regressions pass.
- Task-card repair passed 48 tests, including OpenRouter, Bedrock, and
custom gateway reconnect cases. UI typecheck and token gates passed.
- The prior core regression set passed 133 tests across new-agent setup,
provider forms, browser sign-in, routing projection, and connection
authorization. Token gates and UI typecheck passed.
- Full workspace typecheck and production build passed again after the
latest integration and credential-proxy fix. The merged deterministic
runner E2E suite passed 1,400 Vitest tests and 128 Node tests.
- Full workspace typecheck passed on the prior linked combined
implementation. Production build, Storybook build, 1,316 browser-harness
Vitest tests, and 128 Node tests passed. Head `9d964c8d9` includes the
latest master integration and regenerated migration. This exact head
passed 54 remote checks with four expected skips and Greptile 5/5; no
review threads remain open. An unchanged server fixture had a random
six-character issue-prefix collision on its first attempt. All 245 tests
passed locally and the single CI retry passed.
- A provider-free terminal check used the cited supported Hermes source
and dummy keys. Gateway and OpenRouter terminal children could not read
the selected key.
- The broad local Vitest attempt passed 15,442 tests but was not green.
It had an embedded-Postgres startup failure, an HTTP logger timeout, an
origin socket error, and a browser cancellation wait timeout. The
cancellation wait was corrected. The relevant connection tests and the
full origin test file passed separately. Latest-head CI must pass before
merge.
- Prior credential-backed acceptance exercised task creation, tool use,
artifact delivery, completion, and context-dependent follow-up. Claude
legacy and native runners passed Bedrock with `us-east-1` and
`us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-6`.
- Historical local qualification retained 43 passing API/gateway cells
out of 46. Those attempts span earlier builds. They do not qualify this
exact commit or staging. All subscription combinations and staging
remain unqualified.
- Verify native subscription and API-key setup. Connect a regular
provider catalog row. Verify an incompatible harness and a changed
reconnect URL are rejected. Use #15341 for the complete browser
campaign.

## Risks

- Migration `0306` changes two check constraints. It preserves rows and
is safe to reapply. It takes normal constraint-change locks.
- Credential projection touches several harnesses. CLI upgrades can
change provider configuration and session behavior.
- The native OpenCode proxy adds a loopback hop, pins requests to the
selected model, limits request bodies to 16 MiB, rejects redirects, and
expires at session close. It prevents reusable keys in the child
configuration; it is not an OS isolation boundary against a process
debugger running as the same user.
- Custom endpoints must be reachable from the agent environment. Saving
a connection does not prove connectivity. Bedrock keys require rotation
before expiry.
- Gemini CLI 0.58.0 has an upstream ACP new-file error conversion
defect. Provider overloads and an unresolved follow-up timeout also
affect live Gemini qualification. We have not patched the installed CLI
or marked those cases as passing.
- OpenClaw Gateway, Hermes Gateway, Claude Managed, AWS AgentCore,
Process, HTTP, and legacy ACPX local are excluded. Vertex, ambient AWS
identity, arbitrary auth headers, and custom routing for other harnesses
are excluded.
- These PRs do not establish production or staging qualification for
every provider and login method.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser testing. The exact deployment model ID and
context window size were not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 63f3aa2dbf fix(runner): continue restart-interrupted Codex turns (#15297)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs retain their provider conversation across server
restarts.
> - A dead runner can restore a Codex conversation after its active turn
is lost.
> - The old recovery path synthesized a failed task result from that
interruption.
> - The task then required operator action even though its conversation
and workspace were available.
> - This pull request preserves the interruption cause and uses the
admitted restart attempt for one continuation in the same conversation.
> - The agent can reconcile unfinished actions and complete the current
request without resending the original task.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #12845 added native restart recovery. #15042 covers admission
during shutdown. #14796 covers legacy shutdown recovery. This change
covers a lost native Codex turn after successful conversation
restoration.

**What happened?**

After a server restart killed the local runner, Paperclip restored the
saved Codex thread. Runnerd found that the old turn was no longer
active. It synthesized a failed terminal and a needs-review result from
the last progress message. The transport also discarded the terminal
error when it reconstructed thread history. The task failed instead of
continuing.

**Expected behavior**

After proving that the old process stopped and admitting a bounded
recovery attempt, resume the current request in the same conversation.
Preserve the workspace. Inspect unfinished actions before proceeding.
Keep real provider failures, accepted results, intentional stops,
unknown unreconciled effects, and exhausted attempts subject to their
existing rules.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a local native Codex run and leave its turn active.
2. Kill the isolated runner and provider processes, as can happen during
a server restart.
3. Restore the same provider thread with no active turn.
4. Observe the synthetic task failure. The new real-process regression
reproduces this boundary with a scripted provider.

## What Changed

- Record an explicit recoverable process-loss cause without inventing a
task result.
- Preserve terminal errors and prior turns in reconstructed provider
history. Recover the authoritative saved result when adopting an
accepted continuation.
- Send one continuation in the same conversation for an admitted
dead-runner recovery. Require reconciliation of unfinished commands and
external actions.
- Persist the interrupted terminal before submission and retain the
existing recovery marker across another controller loss.
- Keep provider attempt limits, terminal failures, and intentional
cancellation behavior.
- Add red/green regressions, real process-kill coverage, restart
checkpoint coverage, and retry-budget coverage. Document the behavior
and run-log evidence.

## Verification

- Red: the new native runtime regression rejected with
`NativeProviderTerminalFailure` on the original code; the Rust restore
regression found a missing recovery cause.
- Red/green: if restoring the conversation fails and replacement is
allowed, the replacement receives the full task and fresh-session
handoff. Both prepared and legacy execution inputs are covered.
- Red: a second controller crash after the provider accepted the
continuation caused an extra `turn/start`. The regression now proves
there are exactly two submissions total: the original and its
continuation.
- Green: focused runtime, backend, driver recovery, and real-process
restart suites (207 tests). After the final history/result changes,
driver recovery and real-process restart suites passed again (36 tests).
- Green: complete Codex transport suite (186 tests), server restart
classification/database integration suites (34 tests), and Rust Codex
provider suite (92 passed, 2 ignored).
- Full `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed on `60141e649`. The
subsequent replacement-prompt guard passed the Runner TypeScript check
and the complete runtime plus process-restart suites (148 tests).
- Local full-suite attempt: `pnpm test:run` reported two failures in the
untouched chat integration suite. Both passed individually, and the
complete chat suite passed on rerun (1,063 tests). After all remote test
shards passed, the duplicate serial local run was stopped with SIGINT;
it is not claimed as a full local-suite pass.
- Latest-head CI (`b1297dcd4`): 55 successful checks and 4 intentionally
skipped checks, including all test shards, typecheck, build, native
Runner verification, end-to-end tests, and canary dry run. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37405346303).
- Greptile: 5/5 on the latest head, with no unresolved review threads.
The PR is mergeable.
- The process tests use the real runner binary and a scripted Codex
provider. They do not call a live model service.

## Risks

- This changes local Codex recovery after process loss. A continuation
can execute more work in the retained conversation. Its prompt requires
state inspection before repeating an uncertain action; the system does
not replay tool calls.
- Recovery shares the existing three-attempt budget and one-shot
continuation marker. Real failures and older unmarked failed checkpoints
are not reopened.
- No database migration or API change is required.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The exact model ID and context-window
size are not exposed in this session.
- Capabilities: reasoning, source inspection, tool use, code editing,
code execution, and test analysis.

DottaandPaperclip 4857799a88 feat(connections): deliver saved instructions to authorized agent turns (#15216)
Persist optional connection instructions and deliver authorized snapshots to agent execution prompts. Keep provider templates with each app definition, preserve edits and opt-outs, and replace sessions when guidance or access changes.

Use shared production settings across setup and Permissions, with source visibility in agent Instructions. Add the initial memory-provider defaults and managed Honcho workspace configuration. Include migration 0298 and regression coverage for generic providers, runtime delivery, authorization, and catalog regeneration.

DottaandPaperclip dd868ed125 fix(runner): share native completion tool guidance (#14961)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native Runner agents report completion through finish and block
tools.
> - The providers receive different descriptions for those tools.
> - Completion guidance belongs with the tools that enforce the result.
> - This pull request shares the descriptions and refreshes retained
catalogs.
> - A separate native suite checks completion and blocking on production
defaults.
> - Legacy agents retain their separate skill and API paths.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #14920, #14948, #14985.

**Current behavior**

Native Codex and MCP bridges describe finish and block differently.
Retained provider sessions can keep old descriptions.

**Proposed behavior**

Native providers receive the same finish and block descriptions. The
descriptions cover report selection, validation feedback, returned
outcomes, approval gates and final-answer timing. Retained native
sessions refresh from v13 to v14.

**Reason and benefit**

Put the completion procedure next to its native tool. Preserve stock
base instructions, schemas, permissions and terminal semantics. This PR
now stands alone on master. It contains no reduced manual, shared prompt
or operational-skill changes from #14948.

## What Changed

- Add canonical native finish and block descriptions. Use them in direct
Codex and both native MCP bridges.
- Advance the native tool contract to v14. Cover old-v13 refresh without
replacing task identity or prior history.
- Check authenticated tool catalogs, provider start/resume frames and
serialized daemon catalogs.
- Add an independent, explicit-only native completion suite. Preserve
the original assigned-skill durable-document journey. Pair it with a
concrete whole-task blocker across Codex, ACPX Claude and OpenCode.
- Verify the actual public production default bundle and budgets before
execution. Require independent durable disposition, native
result/terminal receipts and observable provider-final ordering.
- Correct the blocker browser oracle to accept the requested
explanation. Keep exact owner/action/scope checks. Calibrate positive,
missing and contradictory replies.
- Preserve only actual `tool_call` terminal names (`paperclip_finish` /
`paperclip_block`) in the native compatibility run-log projection.
Require the same named call ID through its finishing result; retain all
other redaction boundaries.
- Admit verified hosted shallow checkout/build hydration and bind the
selected runnerd to exact source/archive/binary provenance. Hosted cells
truthfully reuse the existing trusted build; local admission executes
Rust calibration. Forward only public source/run identifiers through
both launcher preflight subprocess paths.
- Enforce single attempts in the launcher for opted-in fixtures. Keep
ordinary retry policy unchanged. Run exact-source, credential-free
admission before credential loading.

## Verification

- Frozen candidate: `d6e59e4712a3158ab4cd7d58deff1389b4578c21`, based on
master `59c07ede72dc08b8aba149a01cc11e0b7a204621`; historical
descriptions: `e74ed61a69fbdd8b3a8f15dd6456bc3140246e33`. Exactly the
five original native production files and six unit tests differ. Both
carry identical corrected fixtures, strict named finishing-call grader,
closed compatibility carrier and admission. Defaults,
profiles/models/auth/permissions and manifest bytes match.
- Actual launcher `prepareNativeCompletionPreflight` →
`verifyNativeCompletionPreflight` admission passes on both exact refs
with zero providers: candidate 132 / historical 127 selected TypeScript
assertions, 128 Node calibrations and one Rust normalization calibration
each; E2E typecheck, manifest checks, selected binary provenance and
six-cell discovery pass. Each has 257 explicitly skipped unrelated
assertions, not coverage. The credential-free environment calibration
exercises both real prepare/verify subprocess options with public hosted
identifiers and rejects credential/ambient overrides. Complete actual
launcher prepare→verify also passes on both frozen refs with explicitly
synthetic hosted metadata/verified archives, separately labeled as
calibration rather than a trusted GitHub run. Exact framed provenance
parsing and mock source identity are calibrated without relaxing the
real verifier.

are inspectable. All six candidate cells pass; historical descriptions
pass five. Paired outcomes: **zero new failures, one new pass (Codex

and [historical
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37098815696)
each execute six original attempt-1 native runs, with no campaign retry
and successful cleanup. Their trusted workflow revision is
`215586d127e97c9301d86e769a39a15c13298ca2`, separate from measured
source. [Candidate public

and [historical public
HTML](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-37098815696-1/index.html)
retain declared screenshots.
- Independent candidate evidence agrees with all original grades: 51
strict native checks, 12 served-default/budget checks and 21 original
skill/document checks pass. The historical Codex blocker saves the
correct whole-task blocker but omits the required marker from its actual
provider final and identical saved reply. This is not semantic-summary
fallback. Its original browser/matcher failure stays retained; the
additional native snapshot/grade and workspace before/after digest were
never written and are not fabricated by the separate API/PRP audit.
Historical Codex completion has one failed finish followed by success
within the same native run; the public receipt records no failure
reason. All twelve runs and their usage remain counted. Reported
model-cost subtotals are $0.00421482 historical/$0.00437391 candidate;
Codex/Claude zero entries have unknown billing type, actual invoices are
unverified and hosted execution cost is unmetered. One matched trial
supports no extra failure within these six cases, not broad statistical
or coding-quality equivalence.
- Initial hosted `e18c2cf9` / `459455ac` and subsequent `0a9c5a7` /
`00a761b` cohorts each stopped before providers in all twelve cells. The
latter failed a mocked-receipt unit test under ambient hosted metadata;
all source/build proofs passed. [All twelve later setup
receipts](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/402ee94c52273ad58de355ae9a7d562dd22f8101/doc/plans/2026-10-02-native-completion-qualified-hosted-setup.json)
are retained. [Exact failed setup
receipts](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/27653eb1a8f8ce839776d760f4563f672e5a706c/doc/plans/2026-10-02-native-completion-master-hosted-setup.json)
and the original manifest remain intact. Local sandbox-denied loopback
and stale anchor-expectation attempts are retained separately; unchanged
appropriate assertions were corrected/admitted before paid dispatch. Old
anonymous OpenCode streams are not assigned inferred tool names or
retroactively passed.
- Full provider-free E2E support previously passed 927 tests in 67
files. Exact-head d6 normal CI run `37098409915`, attempt 1 passes full
repository typecheck/build/tests, Runner Rust/static checks, all browser
shards/aggregate and canary: 52 check-runs pass, four intentional skips,
Snyk passes. Fresh Greptile check `111132956342` is 5/5 with zero
unresolved threads. Source-specific deterministic tests do not
substitute for the bounded live comparison.
- Earlier native source `9138f570c341c251a5727c32d6615ce238bc8e03` is
archived. Its [complete reduced-manual-context
report](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/9138f570c341c251a5727c32d6615ce238bc8e03/doc/plans/2026-10-02-native-completion-live-comparison.md)
remains intact, including original failures, grader limits and
provider-free replay. It is not current-master-context qualification.

## Risks

Changed tool text can change model behavior. The completed six-pair
qualification shows no extra failing outcomes in this bounded trial;
other tasks and repeated-run variance remain unmeasured. Observable
final ordering does not prove provider feedback consumption. Public
evidence can fail closed if a provider does not expose the required
result sequence. This slice does not remove native fixed prompts or
measure general coding quality. No database, schema, permission or
legacy completion changes occur.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with code inspection, execution and tool
use. The exact deployment ID and context-window size are not exposed in
this session. They are unavailable rather than inferred from the model
menu.

DottaandPaperclip 2ec82c5774 fix(runner): preserve task context when tool connections change (#14963)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents use tools through company-scoped connections and provider
sessions.
> - Resolving a tool connection currently forces a fresh session even
when the provider can load new tools into the existing conversation.
> - A fresh provider conversation can receive too little history to
continue the task.
> - This pull request adds explicit tool-refresh capabilities and uses
them in both runner paths.
> - Fresh attempts receive bounded task history with source IDs and
retrieval instructions.
> - The benefit is that agents can continue the same task after a
connection changes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A resolved tool connection forced a fresh provider conversation. The new
conversation could lose the original goal and prior answers. Claude also
rejected resume when only the MCP server set changed.

**Expected behavior**

Resume the provider conversation when its harness can refresh tools.
When a fresh session is required, supply enough bounded history to
continue the task. Preserve company, agent, task, workspace, model,
instruction, and skill checks.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a conversation and agree on a task and its constraints.
2. Request and connect a tool needed for the task.
3. Continue the conversation after the connection resolves.
4. Check that the agent remembers the task and can use the new tool.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The bug was reproduced on master at `c46e41e81`. This branch is rebased
on current master.

**Deployment mode**

Self-hosted server. Both legacy adapters and the native runner are
affected.

Related public work: Refs #13282 for task-backed conversations. Refs
#13057 for the broader session-compaction proposal. Refs #14659 for
another report about local CLI session continuity. This change fixes
tool-connection continuation. Provider authentication repairs keep their
existing recovery behavior.

## What Changed

- Expose tool-refresh support in native harness descriptors and legacy
adapter metadata.
- Request tool refresh after connection resolution. Keep provider
authentication repair as a fresh-session wake.
- Reload current tools and credentials while retaining supported Claude,
Codex, Grok, and other provider conversations.
- Allow MCP-only changes during qualified native recovery. Keep all
other compatibility checks.
- Refresh managed-provider and ACPX tool bindings when attaching a new
run.
- Add a fresh-session handoff for both runner paths. Bound database
reads, excerpts, and the final packet to 24,000 bytes.
- Include the original request, recent messages, decisions, plans, prior
answers, and source IDs. Mark omitted content. Apply reset boundaries,
wake cutoffs, quarantine, and secret redaction.
- Add regression tests and document the capabilities and handoff
behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed. Rust formatting passed.
- Final review fixes passed 314 server tests, 333 adapter utility tests,
139 native-session runtime tests, and 12 managed-provider Rust tests.
They verify historical quarantine, raised budgets across attachment, no
history reads on successful resume, and handoff delivery on fresh retry.
- Broader branch verification also passed 1,401 adapter utility tests,
1,047 runner TypeScript tests, 43 Grok adapter tests, and 311 Rust core
tests.
- Live Claude CLI and Grok ACP probes preserved the provider session ID,
recalled a prior task constraint, and called a newly added read-only MCP
tool.
- GitHub CI passed on `b21486d18084a7aa4cafbe8e012f7cad6585d9cc`: 55
successful checks and 4 skipped checks. This includes all test shards,
all eight browser shards, runner checks, and the Grok clean public npm
install canary. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37057514976).
- A full local test attempt encountered a separate Git snapshot timeout.
All affected local suites passed after the final edits, and the full CI
test gates passed.
- Review the capability matrix in `packages/paperclip-runner/README.md`.
Repeat the four reproduction steps with a supported provider and with an
unsupported harness.

## Risks

- Provider tool refresh can fail. Existing recovery falls back to a
fresh conversation where policy permits it.
- A new transport can replace an old process while preserving the
provider conversation. Tests cover current credentials and unchanged
identity.
- Long history can omit older context. Explicit markers and source IDs
let the agent retrieve needed context within task scope.
- Unknown and unqualified harnesses use the fresh-session path. No
database migration is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, code execution, and live
provider testing. The exact model ID and context-window size are not
exposed in this session. Claude and Grok also ran as test subjects.

DottaandPaperclip 408f70e69f fix(runner): preserve stock Codex base instructions (#14920)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native Runner connects Paperclip tasks to Codex app-server.
> - Paperclip passed its runtime context as `baseInstructions`.
> - That field replaces the stock Codex base prompt.
> - This pull request sends the same Paperclip context as additive
developer instructions.
> - Codex keeps its stock prompt and still receives Paperclip task
instructions and tools.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The native Codex driver and Rust provider sent Paperclip context through
`baseInstructions` on thread start and resume. Codex used this text in
place of its stock base instructions. Direct-chat resume also sent an
empty replacement base. The Runner Lab session path used the same
replacement field.

**Expected behavior**

Codex should retain its stock base prompt. Paperclip should add its
runtime context through `developerInstructions`. Other provider facades
should retain their current instruction handling.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a native Codex session through Paperclip Runner.
2. Inspect the `thread/start` request in the native provider trace.
3. Resume the session and inspect `thread/resume`.
4. Before this fix, these paths set `baseInstructions`. After this fix,
the Codex paths set `developerInstructions` and omit `baseInstructions`.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against master at `cad26c6bfb736039c8ed5743da650a44792a083c`.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source. Native Codex app-server and runnerd paths. A local
protocol probe used codex-cli 0.153.4 and a localhost Responses stub.

No duplicate fix or matching public issue was found in the GitHub
search.

## What Changed

- Send additive developer instructions on Codex start and resume in the
TypeScript driver, Rust provider, and Runner Lab session path.
- Carry the additive fragment through runnerd, including runtime asset
path mapping.
- Preserve existing instruction fields for other provider facades,
including OpenCode.
- Add start/resume/direct-chat regression coverage and check the actual
Rust provider request.
- Document the historical option and trace field names. Record progress
and follow-ups in the working checklist.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- Targeted Codex driver lifecycle, driver, and live-session Vitest
suites — 139 tests passed.
- `cargo test --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml --locked -p
paperclip-runner-core --test codex_provider` — 91 passed, 2 ignored
subprocess helpers.
- Real app-server probe: a localhost Responses stub captured identical
14,732-character stock base instructions on fresh start and cold resume.
Both requests retained the Paperclip marker in developer input. Both
stub turns completed. No paid inference was used.
- Runnerd transport Vitest suite — 182 tests passed.
- The initial `pnpm test:run` attempt reported local dependency-loading,
embedded PostgreSQL startup, and macOS `/var` versus `/private/var` path
failures. It was stopped after those failures. Loading-suite reruns
passed 1,428 tests after the build; native interaction/finalization
reruns passed 38 tests. A seven-suite diagnostic rerun passed 463 tests
and isolated the remaining path and PostgreSQL setup failures.
- With `TMPDIR=/private/tmp`, workspace, gateway, interaction, and
attachment suites passed all 356 tests. The remaining environment-image
and native-session-resumption suites passed all 44 tests with the same
canonical temp path. All affected suites passed on rerun. The original
full local command was stopped after failures and is not claimed as
passing.
- All 55 PR checks passed at `83281439456181396f3707eecda5d2ebc90bd14d`.
Greptile scored 5/5 with no open review threads.
- No paid live campaign or Product E2E browser suite was run. This
change has protocol and regression coverage; it does not claim improved
task quality.

## Risks

- Stock Codex behavior may differ from behavior under the previous
Paperclip replacement prompt. Restoring that behavior is the intended
change.
- Existing Codex threads retain their saved replacement base prompt.
They need a provider session reset to receive the stock base. This PR
does not reset active sessions or alter recovery rules.
- The legacy `baseInstructions` option and trace field names remain for
compatibility. They now describe the additive Paperclip fragment for
Codex.
- The separate Codex-through-ACP dependency patch remains a follow-up in
the harness coverage checklist. This PR covers native app-server
execution.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. The exact runtime model variant and context window
are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning, repository inspection,
code editing, shell execution, and test tools.

DottaandPaperclip 94e8dec56b fix(runner): preserve tool outcomes through shutdown and restart (#14734)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runner sends authorized tool calls to the server and saves their
results.
> - A provider turn can stop while a server write is still running.
> - The old shutdown path invented a failed result that could conflict
with the real result.
> - Truncated execution input and incomplete recovery records made the
failure harder to diagnose.
> - This pull request preserves exact inputs and actual outcomes through
shutdown and restart.
> - Tests force the race and crash boundaries so safe retries do not
repeat writes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Stopping a turn during a server tool call could record a false failure,
then reject the actual result as a conflict. The diagnostic input
formatter could truncate instruction content before execution. A crash
during saved-result delivery could leave that delivery permanently
indeterminate. Cleanup could hide the first failure, and a retry could
overwrite earlier run logs.

**Expected behavior**

Keep dispatched tools pending until their actual result is known.
Preserve accepted input bytes. Accept identical result delivery without
failing the task. Reject conflicting results with enough evidence to
diagnose them. Recover saved-result delivery without repeating the
business operation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Hold an instruction update at the filesystem commit barrier.
2. Stop its provider turn before the server returns the result.
3. Release the write, deliver its result, and replay the same result.
4. Repeat with a restart before and after the delivery receipt is saved.
5. Check that there is one write and one audit row, and that the exact
result survives.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The change was developed from `44736c9c7` and rebased onto `0e5830887`.

**Deployment mode**

Self-hosted server with the native runner. Tests use local runner
processes, scripted providers, and PostgreSQL.

Related work: #12353 added durable semantic tool receipts; #12384 added
durable Codex tool recovery; #12404 bound semantic tools to ACPX
sessions. #14633 covers separate native-provider cancellation and
qualification work. This PR addresses server semantic-tool outcomes and
their durable delivery. No duplicate fix was found. AgentMail discovery
is outside this PR.

## What Changed

- Close turn admission without inventing results for dispatched tools.
Keep pending calls and accept late actual results.
- Accept identical result replay with a diagnostic warning. Include call
identity and both result hashes in real conflict errors.
- Preserve exact execution arguments. Reject prohibited or oversized
input before dispatch. Keep diagnostic previews redacted and bounded.
- Commit instruction-attempt evidence before the filesystem write. Save
completed mutation receipts so concurrent and restarted duplicates
return the first result. Recheck authorization before replay. An attempt
without a completed result stays unknown and cannot execute again.
Definite pre-write failures save and replay their original error without
another write.
- Recover an interrupted saved-result delivery only for backends with
durable result receipts. Never replay an ordinary business operation
with an unknown outcome.
- Preserve the initiating error when cleanup also fails. Record
incomplete settlement evidence. Propagate typed unknown-outcome errors
through the native tool wrapper without creating a false completed tool
result.
- Append run-log attempts and restore the durable log before appending
after local file loss. Reject incomplete restores. Publish a restored
prefix only if the destination is absent so concurrent attempts cannot
overwrite new lines.
- Add deterministic race, crash, replay, authorization, exact-content,
and log-restoration tests. Document their assertions in
`packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md`.

## Verification

- Current head: `7e088f4c7fba8ebabf98ae95485a5753b013d489`. All 55
applicable checks pass; four conditional/manual checks are skipped. This
includes build, typecheck, Rust, both runner TypeScript shards, server
and workspace tests, all eight browser shards, isolated runner
compilation, and the clean-install release dry run. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36746101110).
- Greptile reviewed this exact head at 5/5 with zero new findings. All
three earlier review threads are resolved.
- Focused local verification includes 11 instruction integration tests,
23 surrounding authority/tool tests, 26 run-log tests, and 169
controller/driver tests. The post-rebase controller/transport/runtime
selection passed 415 tests. The full Rust release suite passed 617 tests
with two ignored. The real-process SIGKILL recovery test passed three
consecutive runs.
- The fault matrix in
`packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md` uses explicit
barriers, real PostgreSQL rollback, durable journal reloads, and killed
runner processes. It covers late results, identical and conflicting
replay, exact long content, concurrent log restoration, lost commit
acknowledgements, and definite failure replay after the original CAS
base becomes valid again. No paid model calls are needed.
- Full local recursive typecheck and build passed during implementation.
Server typecheck and the runner TypeScript build passed after the review
fixes. The broad local repository test run was stopped after repeated
database startup timeouts. Four timing/launch failures in an earlier
broad runner run passed focused reruns without changed assertions or
timeouts. These are local verification limitations; the complete
current-head CI suite is green. An earlier CI workspace job received an
infrastructure shutdown signal; its current-head replacement passed.

## Risks

- A stopped turn can remain blocked when a dispatched operation has no
proven result. The system does not guess its outcome or rerun its
effect.
- Conflicting results still fail settlement. Existing failed or
conflicting journals are not repaired automatically.
- Accepted semantic input is limited to 480 KiB of encoded JSON to fit
the encrypted transport. Larger input fails before execution.
- Instruction filesystem writes and database receipts are not one atomic
storage operation. A separately committed attempt and audit record
survive rollback. An attempt without a completed success or definite
pre-write failure receipt remains blocked as an unknown outcome. It is
not replayed or reported as success.
- Run-log restoration now reads the durable object before appending when
the local log is missing. Failed or incomplete reads reject the append.
- No schema migration, dependency change, workflow change, or AgentMail
change is included.

da887ea3e9 fix(runner): honor Codex effort selected in composer (#14568)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents that work on assigned tasks.
> - The task composer lets a person choose an assignee, model, and
effort for the next run.
> - A Paperclip Runner agent can use Codex as its provider.
> - The composer hid Codex effort for that agent because it checked only
the older Codex adapter.
> - The native Runner input also did not carry an effort choice to
Codex.
> - This pull request carries the chosen effort from the composer to
each Codex turn.
> - People can now select a supported effort and get the effort they
selected.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14322

**What happened?**

The composer showed a model but no effort slider when the assignee used
Paperclip Runner with the Codex provider. A task-level model override
also did not reach the native Runner input.

**Expected behavior**

The composer shows effort choices for a known Codex model. The next
native Codex turn uses the selected model and effort.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open a task composer.
2. Select an agent that uses Paperclip Runner with the Codex provider.
3. Select a known Codex model such as `gpt-6-astra`.
4. Open the assignee and model picker. The effort slider is missing
before this change.

## What Changed

- Show known Codex effort levels for Paperclip Runner Codex assignees.
- Save the task effort override in the native run input and send it to
Codex on each turn.
- Apply the task's merged model and effort overrides when the native run
starts.
- Apply a task model override for OpenCode Runner without changing the
agent's provider.
- Add Runner effort tests and desktop and mobile Storybook cases.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- `pnpm build-storybook` passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- Focused UI, server, Runner contract, and Codex driver tests passed.
- The full CI test matrix, build, typecheck, and canary dry run passed
on the latest head.

## Risks

- Native Runner inputs add an optional Codex effort field to the current
v5 input. Older inputs keep their previous behavior.
- A known model rejects an effort that its catalog does not support.
Unknown models do not show a slider.

> This fixes an existing composer bug. I checked `ROADMAP.md`; it does
not describe this bug as planned work.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. The exact deployment ID and context window are not
exposed in this session. The model used reasoning, code execution, and
repository tools.

DottaandPaperclip 24beb00575 feat(runner): add rich ACP transport and durable interaction foundation (#14430)
Add shared rich ACP transport, durable questions and permissions, verified provider packaging, and bounded activity and plan presentation. Keep Cursor, Copilot, and Pi pending their separate provider qualification.

Persist interaction settlement before publication, fence failed writes until fresh recovery, and preserve owned-process cleanup. Incorporate reviewed mainline integration with extended harness coverage.

DottaandFry 3ca196b0a6 feat(agents): persist agent files across tasks without revision history (#14420)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - An agent needs personal files across tasks and sessions.
> - AGENTS.md is one file in that directory. Supporting files need the
same persistence.
> - The Instructions Editor and agent runs must share one current
directory.
> - Concurrent runs should apply only the files they change. The last
sync of the same file wins.
> - This pull request uses existing file transport and removes temporary
copies after sync.
> - Old instruction-only sessions keep their restore contract. New saves
do not create revision history.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14325. This replaces its revision-oriented design with persistent
agent files. Keep #14325 unmerged.

Transport prerequisite #14416 merged first at
`d172197117a14b80a1eb2d2835a0e7cce2679656`. This PR now targets master
and remains below 100 changed files.

Related work: #4513 and #8798 cover instruction tooling. This change
handles run synchronization, cross-task personal files, browser editing,
and old-session restoration.

## What Changed

- Keep one current directory per company and agent. Point AGENT_HOME at
a temporary working copy for each active run. Keep task files and
provider HOME separate.
- Restore text, binary files, and nested folders through workspace
transport. Exclude remote agent files from task Git snapshots with a
self-ignoring file inside the reserved runtime directory; never write
through repository-controlled Git metadata.
- Collect after the provider and child processes have stopped. Keep
resumable conversation state.
- Apply changed and deleted files under the agent lock. The last sync
wins for the same file. Unrelated concurrent changes survive.
- Remove temporary copies after successful sync, rejected sync, and
staging failure. Register ownership before copying so restart recovery
can remove interrupted preparation. Retry transient synchronization up
to three times. Preserve the original remote lease reference until
deletion succeeds; restart cleanup never acquires a replacement sandbox.
Do not create captured directories or a conflict-review queue for new
runs.
- Keep browser editing, stale-draft protection, and streaming binary
downloads. Keep the instruction entry and text editor limited to 1 MiB.
- Keep historical agent-folder sync failures on their affected runs
instead of repeating them above current saved instructions. Preserve
legacy candidate review and current browser-save errors. Avoid duplicate
quota warnings while retaining separate sync failures when they describe
a different problem.
- Require target-scoped caller grants for peer instruction access, while
preserving self edits, responsible-user checks, and protected-change
consent.
- Treat full storage as a nonblocking run warning, never an agent pause
or run-admission failure. Restore already-over-quota saved folders so
ordinary agent cleanup can recover; warn on each run until cleanup. The
run detail view shows the warning.
- Allow 256 MiB per file, 2 GiB per directory, and 100,000 entries. Hash
large files as streams. Check editor-save quotas with metadata instead
of hashing unrelated files.
- Preserve old native inputs, instruction-only copies, paths, digests,
and pending legacy candidates. Adopt old revision heads once. New writes
do not append history rows.
- Add idempotent migration 0287 and verify upgrades from the preview
tables and receipts.
- Add nine interactive stories under **Agents / Persistent files**,
including automatic incoming edits, stale browser drafts, and
storage-limit diagnostics.

## Verification

- Merge candidate: `4f5390107ec6ffd80a76d1d2e85530e66f21d079`, after
merging current master and the landed transport prerequisite.
Integration required no manual conflict resolution; the feature remains
99 changed files. Full workspace typecheck, production build, token
gates, and 715 focused tests passed on this merge candidate. Fresh
Greptile review is 5/5 with no unresolved findings. All 55 checks
passed, with four conditional skips, including the build, typecheck,
browser E2E, and canary dry run. A single retry recovered four jobs
interrupted by runner shutdowns; no source changes were required.
- Historical-warning UI fix: all 6,834 UI tests across 640 files passed,
including regression coverage for three old failures, legacy preserved
edits, and warnings scoped to the affected run. Full workspace
typecheck, production build, Storybook build, and token gates passed.
Browser-verified Storybook playtests passed for Historical Failures
After Successful Save, Storage Limit, and Full Storage Run Warning.
- Review follow-ups at `4e20c9fb2`: all 18 focused tests passed,
including external Git directories, linked worktrees, symlinks,
hardlinks, and distinct I/O failures alongside storage warnings. Server
and UI typechecks, token gates, and the production build passed.
- Storage warning regressions at `0724f3012`: all 33 directory tests and
all five heartbeat-list tests passed, with no skips in their successful
runs. They cover repeated runs while full, an already-over-quota saved
folder, cleanup, warnings retained after unrelated save failures, and
bounded warnings in large result JSON. Server typecheck passed after the
final warning fixes.
- Full workspace typecheck, production build, and token gates passed
during this follow-up. Product E2E harness: 631 tests passed across 52
files; harness typecheck passed. Earlier native session/context and
directory/legacy collection suites passed 537 tests; Runner
unit/transport suites passed 329 tests.
- **Real E2E at `0724f3012` (before this follow-up):** legacy local
Codex and native Daytona Codex each passed six tasks, one server
restart, seven independent assertions, and cleanup verification. Both
prove browser-to-agent edits, agent-to-browser edits, nested/binary
restoration, per-file last-sync-wins, a successful run after an
oversized save rejection, and cleanup clearing the warning.
- Native local Codex also passed the six-task quota flow before the
final warning-retention fixes. That pass began at `918d1ed02` while the
bounded-result warning fix was being edited, so it is not claimed as
exact-final-head evidence. Its final-head rerun failed during embedded
PostgreSQL bootstrap before any provider run: the macOS host had 87,365
of 87,381 SysV semaphores occupied. No unrelated services or kernel
limits were changed.
- The final-source report intentionally records **2/3 cells passed**,
preserving the blocked native-local attempt:
`tests/runner-e2e/results/agent-files-quota-final-20260928-report/`.
Earlier failed attempts and provenance notes remain under
`tests/runner-e2e/results/agent-files-quota-final-20260928-input/` and
the original campaign directories.
- Daytona used immutable image
`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:5643f0d801417cae3581833a1a3bc6715b325e028602738d2652c44cac5dc6bf`
and its exact Linux runner binary. Controller source is `0724f3012`;
image source is recorded separately.
- Legacy-session compatibility and all three ACP Stop/resume browser
regressions passed on the prior validated feature head
`169fab46d5af21caa2269b4c1b29b69c933a6951`. They assert the same
provider session is retained and interrupted writes are not replayed.
Migration upgrade tests also passed earlier.
- Nine interactive stories are under **Agents / Persistent files**,
including **Full Storage Run Warning**. Its playtest and visual browser
inspection passed; the warning states that runs continue and the editor
remains available.
- Prior-head checks on `4e20c9fb2`: 55 passed, two conditional jobs
skipped, no failures or pending checks. All eight browser E2E shards and
their aggregate passed. Fresh Greptile review is 5/5 with no findings;
all review threads are resolved, the security scan passed, and GitHub
reports no merge conflicts.
- The broad local follow-up test run was interrupted after host
semaphore exhaustion affected isolated PostgreSQL instances. It also
encountered the existing macOS long-path fixture failure and two timeout
failures. This is not a claim that the full local suite passed. Logs are
retained; focused storage/warning tests passed.

## Risks

- A later sync can overwrite an earlier edit to the same file, including
a saved browser edit. There is no text merge or retained version. This
is the intended last-sync-wins policy.
- A save that exceeds a storage limit is rejected and its temporary copy
is discarded. The run itself continues normally, and later runs restore
the last saved files with a warning until cleanup. Transient sync
failures get bounded retries. An I/O failure partway through a sync can
leave some files updated; a failed receipt does not claim whole-folder
success.
- Larger folders increase copy time, network traffic, and temporary disk
usage. Active runs still need working copies. Terminal runs do not
accumulate archives. Operators must provision disk for agents and
configured concurrency; these limits are not company-wide quotas.
- A restored old native session remains instruction-only until a fresh
session starts. Its original conflict fence and existing pending
candidates remain compatible.
- Provider processes close at the collection boundary. Conversation
resume remains available, but warm process reuse is lost.
- Backups must include the instance filesystem and database. External
bundles keep their existing behavior until explicitly moved to managed
storage.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The session does not expose a more specific
model ID or context-window size. Reasoning, code execution, and browser
tools assisted this change. Real provider E2E uses `gpt-5.6-sol`.

DottaandPaperclip 992f720262 fix: make runner task context ownership explicit (#13753)
<!-- Write all pull request text in Simplified Technical English
(ASD-STE100). -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task descriptions, comments, continuation data, skills, and
execution rules enter several agent adapters.
> - The same source can be rendered by more than one automatic input
carrier.
> - Failed resumes can also rebuild input from stale or compact context.
> - This pull request gives each Paperclip-owned source one delivery
owner and preserves the required transport boundaries.
> - It adds deterministic adapter, interaction, runner, and browser
tests for these boundaries.
> - The benefit is more predictable context delivery with explicit
evidence for later live qualification.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #13144 removes a duplicate environment payload and bounds wake
lists. Related: #11360 addresses Hermes resume behavior. This pull
request preserves compatible active-session formats while repairing
context ownership and stale question creation.

**What happened?**

Task descriptions and comments could enter more than one automatic
context block. Native transports could wrap a complete model input in a
second task envelope. Some legacy and gateway adapters could omit the
owned assignment on ordinary tasks or rebuild a failed resume with stale
compact context. A continuation could also request a question after
newer human comments had arrived.

**Expected behavior**

Each task or comment source has one automatic model-facing owner.
Distinct comment IDs and repeated wording remain distinct. Fresh
fallback attempts rebuild the required full context. A question request
is rejected when newer queued human direction makes it stale. Harness
access policy remains owned by execution configuration.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Build a task with a description and current comments.
2. Capture the actual adapter or runner input.
3. Compare source ownership and task-envelope nesting.
4. Queue a human comment before a continuation requests a question.
5. Trigger a failed resume and inspect the fresh retry input.
6. Run the focused adapter, interaction, runner, and browser checks.

## What Changed

- Add shared prompt-section selection at the provider-attempt boundary.
- Deliver owned assignment context through native, legacy CLI, ACP,
gateway, cloud, Pi, Kimi, Grok, Gemini, OpenCode, Cursor, OpenClaw, and
Hermes paths.
- Rebuild full or compact context after resume recovery changes the
attempt. Add native and Claude ACP tests of actual recovery requests.
- Preserve custom templates, loaded instruction files, execution
policies, and older active-session formats.
- Record continuation source metadata and reject stale question creation
under the issue-row lock.
- Add explicit Product E2E context-integrity profiles, prerequisite
gates, credential-isolation checks, and report fixtures.
- Bypass service-worker forwarding for same-origin Vite development
modules. A real Chromium test fails with resource exhaustion before the
repair and passes after it. Production asset caching keeps its existing
policy.
- Add browser diagnostics and service-worker module-loading regressions.
- Add an explicit zero-retry eval option. The default retry behavior
remains unchanged. Each campaign records its effective policy.
- Remove the model-facing working-directory sentence from four prompt
builders. Existing workspace, sandbox, permission, and custom-template
configuration remains unchanged.
- Align the everyday workflow assertion with the current 47-entry
catalog.

Compared with current upstream master, the branch carries the
context-ownership implementation and its tests, the explicit
context-integrity catalog and evidence harness, and the focused browser
regression checks.

## Verification

**Merge assessment:** focused regression evidence supports merge. This
is not full completion of the original broad qualification matrix. The
maintainer has authorized merge after fresh verification of the master
integration.

- Current head: `bbd52f82114eabf09bc7b1a7e97d54a5b43bbc00`. This
integrates current master `2f585ef26a1814fa209715242d1ca791b63e4c4e`.
All 14 conflicts are resolved. Cancellation checks, workspace
finalization, native Grok support, and both sets of tests are retained.
- Current-head Greptile: **5/5**, with no blocking findings. The review
names this exact commit. All **59 reported checks are terminal: 55
successful, 4 skipped, zero pending or failing**. This includes the full
root general and serialized suites, separate runner checks, typecheck,
build, canary, browser E2E, Docker, and security checks. The successful
legacy security status is included in that total.
- After integration: workspace typecheck and full build passed. Separate
runner checks passed: **2,160 TypeScript tests (10 skipped), 582 Rust
tests, and 39 preparation checks**. Other passing checks include 621
Product E2E harness units, 376 focused shared/adapter tests, 160
real-database/API tests, 86 Hermes tests, 18 browser-support checks, and
Product E2E typechecking. The complete root suite passed in CI. The
duplicate local monolithic root run was stopped after that CI result; it
is not counted as a completed local pass.
- New native recovery coverage retains full assignment, completion
contract, and explicit skill selection after safe replacement, for old
and prepared input formats. Full native session test file: **136/136
passed**.
- New Claude ACP coverage captures actual fresh, resumed, and
missing-session fallback requests. It verifies one assignment copy,
comment order, identical text under distinct comment IDs, and full
fallback context. Full file: **33/33 passed**. Both affected TypeScript
checks passed.
- Existing deterministic tests cover source revisions, approval and
trust boundaries, completion validation, custom templates, compatible
sessions, standalone driver wrapping, and maintained adapter transport
requests.
- Provider-free browser support: **17/17 passed** after the master
merge. Service-worker unit tests: **33/33 passed**. The module-overload
regression failed before the repair and passed after it in real
Chromium.

### Fresh live comparisons

The new batch ran exactly four Product E2E attempts. **All four passed
on the first attempt; no retries.** Each has six terminal matchers plus
the existing browser lifecycle and invariant checks.

| Exact case ID | Control | Candidate |
|---|---|---|
| `core-compatibility.runner-codex.local.plan-revise-accept` | Passed |
Passed |
|
`local-session-integrity.runner-acpx-claude.local.structured-question-restart-resume`
| Passed | Passed |

The plan case checks a revised canonical plan and revision-bound
approval before completion. The question case restarts the server before
submitting the answer, then verifies the continuation completes.

Control source is `dfa4e1bda8d50a1a01746603251a9128dbe9d0d6`. Candidate
source is `79fcdb5dece501d28064ea9da306603881b46f0c`. They use identical
frozen definitions and provider versions: Codex `0.156.0` with
`gpt-5.6-sol`; ACPX `0.13.1` / Claude ACP `0.73.0` with
`claude-sonnet-5`. The September 24 head added master browser recovery
and test-only changes. The September 28 head also integrates newer
master changes, including cancellation, workspace finalization, and
native Grok. These are frozen-source live results, not exact-head live
runs.

The candidate received one description copy where the control initially
received three. The submitted initial plan envelopes were 7,969 versus
19,097 characters. Question envelopes were 7,592 versus 18,919. These
are structural measurements, not whole-provider token or dollar savings.

### Earlier evidence and failed attempts

- The preceding fresh batch has four effective passing pairs: OpenCode
comment continuation and assigned skill, native Codex comment
continuation, and native Claude comment continuation. It retains **11
attempts: eight passed and three failed**.
- Original failures remain recorded: missing local PostgreSQL library
links before task creation; host-sleep cleanup after task/page checks
passed; and a Claude **control** session-open rejection before a model
turn. Setup was repaired identically on both worktrees. The permitted
unchanged infrastructure retries passed. The underlying Claude provider
startup error was not retained and remains unknown.
- Older R2 retains **17 passes and one failure** across 18 attempts,
including eight both-pass native/legacy Codex/Claude pairs. Its OpenCode
blank-page failure led to the service-worker repair. R2 is historical
evidence: master changed the native fixed prompt and removed duplicate
wake environment data afterward.
- The September 24 CI run initially failed one unrelated preview
readiness test (`ECONNREFUSED` on its local fixture). Its test and
production code match master. Isolated local verification passed **28
tests, 3 skipped**. One unchanged CI retry passed the full shard: **831
passed, 1 skipped**, including all **31 preview-exposure tests**. The
aggregate CI gate passed afterward. The precise startup cause remains
unknown; a port race is a hypothesis, not a proved cause.

### Limits

The original wider profile/workflow matrix, repeated trials, and remote
Daytona qualification are incomplete. These results support a focused
merge recommendation, not statistical equivalence or universal harness
qualification. Some usage receipts are missing in both variants, so no
token or dollar savings are claimed. The $500 ceiling was preserved
using conservative allowances; failed attempts and unknown charges
remain in the ledger.

Reproduce the focused additions with `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/acp.test.ts` and `pnpm
--filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/native-session-runtime.test.ts`. Full checks use `pnpm -r
typecheck`, `pnpm test:run`, `pnpm build`, and the separate runner
checks. Paid evals require the frozen definitions, profiles, and
credentials; do not use `--all` as a substitute for the selected cases.

## Risks

- Context placement changes can affect model behavior. Deterministic
checks cover the selected paths, but live qualification remains
incomplete.
- The stale-question guard can reject a request when queued human
comments arrived during the run. This is intended.
- New stored inputs and model envelopes retain compatibility readers for
older active sessions.
- Custom templates may intentionally repeat content.
- Removing a model-facing working-directory sentence does not change
filesystem, command, sandbox, or permission configuration.
- The worker bypass applies only to same-origin development module
paths. Cache-policy tests preserve private-response handling and
production asset caching. Mounted HTTP fixture changes remain test-only.
- This PR does not claim measured token savings or statistical
equivalence across every harness.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, exact model gpt-6-astra, with repository tools and code
execution. Bounded supporting work used gpt-5.6-luna and gpt-6-luna. The
serving context-window size is not exposed in this task.

DottaandPaperclip f1a394bd30 feat(runner): add Grok Build through native ACP (#13882)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and governs their work.
> - Its native runner uses structured provider protocols for sessions
and tools.
> - Grok Build supports ACP over stdio, but the runner did not expose
it.
> - Native execution requires company-scoped credentials, verified
identities, and permission gates.
> - This change adds Grok through ACPX for local and Daytona execution.
> - Subscription login and explicit API-key execution have separate
credential paths.
> - Qualification grades real tool outcomes, durable state, and browser
workflows.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13845, #13847, #13850, #13878, #13901, #13973, #13977, #13979.

Add **Grok Build** to `paperclip_runner` with `provider: "acpx"`,
`acpxAgent: "grok"`, and model `grok-4.7`. Existing legacy Grok agents
keep their adapter. Merge the three companion fixes (#13973, #13977,
#13979) before treating the integrated Product qualification as deployed
behavior.

## What Changed

- Synchronize shared, TypeScript, Rust, server, validation, and UI
provider contracts.
- Run Grok native ACP stdio through ACPX and the authenticated Paperclip
MCP bridge. Verify the pinned executable and exact ACP model identity.
- Prefer company subscription login. Support an explicit company-secret
API key without automatic paid fallback. Fence refresh and copyback to
the same account and remove private runtime credentials after
containment.
- Preserve selected permissions, cancellation, durable session identity,
resume, and restart recovery. Keep unsupported steering and goals
unavailable. Preserve missing usage and cost as unknown.
- Package checksum-verified Grok Build 1.0.13 for Daytona with an
immutable, signed image built on EC2.
- Add deterministic admission, protocol, permissions, identity,
credential, failure, and cleanup checks. Add the maintained 39-case
protocol roster and separate subscription/API Product profiles.
- Fix live-test findings in reasoning events, reloads, idle-owner
retirement, credential-home cleanup, expired-login model discovery,
launcher pinning, and rerun evidence selection.
- Align control-plane state readers with the transport's 64 MiB bound
while retaining identity, ownership, lifecycle, and size rejection
checks.
- Stabilize two asynchronous CI assertions while retaining actual
outcome and filesystem-evidence checks.

## Verification

Current integration head `f114948376056fe0b6b34c1496ae8667b59daa63`
includes master `3447609d2247e75e55d91493dda91a608364f672` (2026-09-28).
Two master advances during verification overlapped the eval catalog; the
final merge preserves Grok qualification, completion updates, and
bounded API-response reading in all 348 cells. All 77 focused
catalog/eval/workflow tests pass. Both native stack layers (#14397) are
mergeable, and both exact-head Greptile reviews are 5/5 with successful
security scans and no unresolved review threads. All current-head CI is
green: 56 successful checks/statuses and four intentional skips ([CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36447097232)).
Trunk code-owner requirements remain enforced. The review summary’s
non-blocking saved-asset offset classification note concerns code
already merged in #14301; those runtime files are identical to master
and outside this stack’s diff. Historical live evidence below retains
its original source revisions.


Earlier integration checkpoint:
`24fc9b94ca0afb21ccdc8d26dbb2e4b258ad72cb`. Refreshed against master
`0f14d2612`, preserving Grok qualification alongside the new accounting
and lifecycle suites. All 124 focused catalog, evidence, and
service-worker checks pass. The current base workflow includes the
explicitly selected public-install verification lane; follow-up #14024
supplies its verifier script. CI at that earlier checkpoint was green
(56 successful checks/statuses, four intentional skips), and the review
is 5/5 with no unresolved findings. Prior feature CI at
`fd73f0a9b1ecdf4094685054028df71739ddc3e1` passed ([run
36148259902](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36148259902));
that is historical evidence, not a current-head result.

Paid Product measurements use frozen integrated source
`2d939a92b21dcaf5c77c88b54d96784d2ddd0699`, which combines the feature
with #13973, #13977, and #13979. That source passed all 52 CI checks and
clean 5/5 review. Later master syncs incorporate upstream changes. Their
checks remain separate from these pinned live measurements.

| API smoke and question continuation | [4/4 first attempts; cleanup

| Historical API Product coverage | [16/16 full
matrix](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35875144860-1/index.html)
and 18/18 core repetitions at `4a1061c8`; retained as measurements of
that revision |
| Native Daytona proof | Three subscription and three API
MCP/permissions/resume runs passed at `bc6833f7`. Three expired-login
admission and fenced refresh checks passed without inference. All test
sandboxes were removed. |
| Inspectable artifacts and UI | Current-source screenshots verify
planning approval, direct Ask completion, question continuation after
controller restart, and two downloadable project revisions. The project
downloads pass 12 and 18 tests; all 40 independent artifact oracle
checks pass. |
| Provider-free checks | 116 eval-validator tests, 39 Grok definitions,
and 359 enabled/external campaign cells pass. Continuation regressions
above 2 MiB and 16 MiB failed before their fixes; 32 focused
recovery/ownership/size checks pass. |

The 32 unique current-source Product attempts have no failures, retries,
or skipped cells, and all cleanup checks pass. Whole-workflow timing,
model identity, image and provider-pack provenance, attempts, and
accounting coverage are retained in the canonical reports. The report
publisher's conservative `complete=false` flag is preserved; independent
audits verify the exact selected source catalog and immutable result
rows.

Image build source is `4196a4cd`, recorded separately from application
source `2d939a92`; each campaign verifies the image signature and
provider pack.

Original failed campaigns remain available: [continuation

and [startup cleanup plus EC2
interruption](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36080870743).
They retain their original grades. No Docker or Rust builds ran on the
developer laptop for these follow-ups.

## Risks

Merge packaging follow-up #14024 with this base before public release.
The follow-up replaces the private Grok bridge package with a built-in
launcher and makes the native binary an explicit sandbox prerequisite.

Three separate, reviewed fixes are part of the tested integrated
behavior: #13973 serializes task-run admission; #13977 captures complete
event evidence; #13979 durably reconciles failed Daytona creation. Each
has green CI and clean 5/5 review. Failed-create recovery has 277 plugin
tests, 92 SDK tests, host-runtime recovery tests, and a real Daytona
lost-deletion-receipt proof. The live proof uses a private file for
journal persistence; database durability is covered by host tests.
Worker death before delivery of a failure envelope remains outside that
recovery mechanism.

Subscription fixtures stage an authorized company login; interactive
browser sign-in is not qualified. Local Product profiles ran on EC2
Linux. The temporary subscription credential was removed from the
protected GitHub environment after all subscription audits, with absence
verified. Runtime homes and refresh copyback remain ownership-fenced.

Protocol results remain pinned to their original revisions; they are not
relabeled as tests of the latest feature commit. New binary/model
versions require qualification. Missing token usage and model cost
remain unknown; runtime estimates do not establish a full bill.
Automatic paid Grok scheduling remains disabled pending separate
reviewed enablement. The 64 MiB bound can increase memory use for
verbose sessions, and larger files still fail closed. No automatic
legacy-agent migration occurs.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip aa8fc86331 feat(connections): prefer native apps and ask users to choose external providers (#13941)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Connections give agents governed access to external services.
> - Native connections should remain the first choice for a supported
app.
> - Other apps may be available through an external MCP provider.
> - The user must know which external provider handles the connection
and choose it before setup.
> - This pull request adds ranked alternatives and server-authored
instructions to connection search.
> - Agents can follow the returned instructions while Paperclip
validates saved choices and access.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #13879, which fixed inline MCP provider setup. This PR adds
discovery and provider selection on top of that work.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: shared connection contracts, server search and intent
services, native runtime, CLI, inline setup UI, and evals.

**Problem or motivation**

An agent cannot offer a clear external-provider choice when Paperclip
has no native connection for an app. Adding provider-specific branches
to the core prompt would make those instructions harder to maintain.

**Proposed solution**

Prefer a native connection. Otherwise return verified alternatives in
Composio, Arcade, Executor, Zapier order. Include an external-service
disclosure, a question with None, and the next instruction in the search
result. Validate the saved human choice before creating a selected
fallback setup card. Reuse existing provider accounts and verify
underlying app access separately.

**Alternatives considered**

Do not silently choose a provider. Do not claim that broad execution
tools prove support for every app. Reuse existing questions and
connection intents rather than add another connection model.

**Roadmap alignment**

Extends the existing MCP Tool Gateway & Apps and Agent evals & feedback
capabilities. The MCP aggregators experiment remains the gate. No
duplicate provider-routing PR was found in the public search.

## What Changed

- Add a dated support index and authorized cached-tool evidence for
external routes.
- Return provider questions and next-step instructions from
`connections_search`.
- Preserve pending choices and declines across continuation. Validate
company, task, agent, human, app, and current route eligibility.
- Carry the selected app into new setup and account reuse, validate
explicit provider requests against persisted human messages, and
distinguish provider readiness from app authorization.
- Sync native, MCP, REST, and CLI contracts. Keep core agent
instructions provider-neutral.
- Add production-component Storybooks, focused database tests, and three
real-agent browser eval cases.
- Record the plan, observed failures, fixes, passing evidence, and
acceptance limits.

## Verification

- Latest head `586f0e6cd`: 54 checks passed, 2 skipped; Greptile 5/5 and
all review threads resolved.

- After rebasing on master `18dac1e1e`: 64 focused shared, validator,
route-contract, and database tests passed; server typecheck passed.
- Embedded-browser test drive on the rebased head: native Jira card,
HubSpot external-provider question, Arcade account reuse, one actual MCP
read against a local synthetic fixture, reload persistence, and None
preventing further calls. A real OpenAI-backed agent performed discovery
and continuation.
- UX observation: the agent initially combined mutually exclusive
request fields; the server rejected it and the agent recovered without
changing access. This extra retry remains visible in the transcript.
- After rebase: 23 focused eval grader/catalog tests, affected
TypeScript checks, token gates, production UI build, and Storybook build
passed. Full local tests are intentionally excluded at the maintainer's
request.
- Before rebase: four browser/real-agent attempts passed: native Jira,
None, and reuse of the second provider on two Codex profiles.
- Browser evals used an isolated deterministic MCP fixture through the
real Paperclip gateway. They do not prove production compatibility with
all four providers.
- Review `Apps / Connections / Provider choice` in Storybook. Choose
Arcade, continue through Access, and verify the app name,
external-service disclosure, and URL configuration.
- The detailed verification report is
`doc/connections/2026-09-23-aggregator-routing-verification.md`.

## Risks

- The public support index is finite and can age. Account capability and
app authorization still require verification after selection.
- Existing installed-tool permissions remain in effect. Provider choice
is not a new execution permission boundary. An early Mini attempt
skipped search; clearer provider-neutral instructions made the targeted
rerun pass. This is not a measured reliability rate.
- Explicit requests skip provider confirmation only when a clear
persisted human message or saved provider choice supports them. Other
phrasing falls back to confirmation; the agent query alone is not
consent. These routes do not add tool permissions.
- No database migration or legacy Composio broker is added.
Real-provider acceptance remains separate from fixture proof.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser tools. The exact deployment variant and
context-window size are not exposed in this session. Product evals
separately used the repository's primary Codex and Codex Mini profiles;
those agents supplied test behavior, not independent provider
compatibility proof.

DottaandPaperclip d9b3a5653e feat(chat): add initial Slack communication guidance and connection menus (#13760)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Chat connectors let people use the same tasks and agent tools from
external conversations.
> - Agents need communication guidance that fits the conversation
medium.
> - That guidance belongs in the original task context, without repeated
instructions on each turn.
> - Connection owners also need clear settings and a consistent way to
remove a connection.
> - This pull request adds initial Slack guidance, optional connection
instructions, and chat connection menus.
> - The benefit is clearer Slack replies with the existing Paperclip
workflow and permissions.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Agent replies in Slack and chat connection management in the Apps
catalog.

**Current behavior**

Slack tasks do not carry a saved communication profile. The catalog
shows a separate Manage button and does not offer removal on every chat
connection row.

**Proposed behavior**

Save Slack guidance when a new conversation creates a task. Restore that
original guidance when a model session is rebuilt. Do not append it to
ordinary follow-ups. Expose optional additional instructions in Slack
Settings. Put Manage and Remove connection in a three-dot menu for all
chat providers. Keep Finish setup visible for drafts.

**Reason and benefit**

Small answers fit in Slack. Substantial deliverables use ordinary
document or artifact tools with a useful Slack summary. Connection
settings apply to new tasks and cannot change permissions. Users can
remove both active and unfinished chat connections from the catalog.

**Breaking changes**

Two additive database columns store endpoint preferences and the initial
conversation snapshot. Existing endpoints default to empty preferences.
Existing conversations keep their original behavior. Non-Slack guidance
is unchanged.

Related public context:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13741 improves native chat
recovery. This change adds communication context to those existing
execution paths. A search found no duplicate communication-guidance PR.

## What Changed

- Add a provider-guidance registry, enabled for Slack first.
- Persist optional endpoint communication instructions and capture an
immutable snapshot when a conversation creates a task.
- Resolve guidance from the verified company-scoped connection. Restore
it for fresh native and legacy sessions without per-turn reminders,
extra model calls, or extra context queries.
- Add the Slack Settings field, validation, audit coverage, and
Storybook save/error states.
- Add Manage and Remove connection menus for all seven chat providers.
Keep the draft setup button. Require removal confirmation and allow
retry after failure.
- Add regression coverage, an active/draft menu story, and connector
documentation.

## Verification

All CI checks are green for 5f48df4e0. Greptile scored this head 5/5
with no actionable findings. No review threads remain unresolved.

- Passed `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` on PR head 5f48df4e0.
- Passed design-token checks, UI typecheck, and all 20 catalog tests
after rebase. Tests cover all seven providers, active/draft removal,
confirmation, cache refresh, errors, and cancellation.
- Verified the active/draft menu in Storybook. The interaction test runs
without browser console errors.
- Passed focused guidance, endpoint persistence/isolation, heartbeat
trust, native context, ACPX, adapter utility, and CLI recovery tests.
Full UI and CLI groups passed (6,512 and 502 tests).
- Tested real Slack conversations on staging: concise updates with
public links, a planning question with buttons, a saved plan, a saved
report, task creation and assignment, and explicit detailed output. Old
tasks retained original preferences after an edit; a new task used the
changed preferences. Restored the staging setting afterward.
- Existing safe progress remained visible without duplicate final
replies or private reasoning.
- Broad local tests found resource/time-sensitive failures that passed
targeted reruns. One Cursor archive-download fixture failed on both this
branch and the unchanged main checkout. The full local suite is not
claimed clean. All PR-head CI test shards passed, including general,
serialized, Runner, and browser suites. The redundant local full-suite
rerun was stopped after CI completed successfully.
- Live delegation was not tested because the staging company has only
one agent. Live testing also found separate latency and runner
task-editing capability gaps; this PR does not add connector-specific
workflow behavior to hide them.

## Risks

- Prompt guidance changes the form of new Slack replies. Explicit
requests for detail still take precedence.
- The additive migration is idempotent. Conversation snapshots remain
fixed when connection settings change.
- Native and legacy recovery must preserve the initial context without
duplicates; targeted tests cover these paths.
- Removing a connection stops new work through the existing lifecycle
action. It retains Paperclip task history and does not delete the
external app or bot.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository editing, shell tools, and
browser testing. The host does not expose a more specific model ID or
context-window size. No separate model calls were added to the product.

DottaandPaperclip 0f5fafe16b fix(runner): preserve task replies and warm process continuity (#13738)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and their work.
> - The Runner connects provider sessions to task state, replies, and
delegated work.
> - Full-stack tests found lost final replies, rejected helper calls
that stopped the parent, and unnecessary process restarts.
> - A completed child could also receive a new assignment wake that the
scheduler then cancelled.
> - This change fixes those boundaries and gives agents clearer teammate
instructions.
> - The tests retain strict completion and process-continuity
requirements.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A generated attachment comment could suppress an agent's final reply. A
known Codex helper could stop its parent when it requested a Paperclip
tool. Native Daytona processes restarted between turns because Paperclip
minted an unused GitHub broker token. Reassigning a completed child
queued a run that immediately cancelled. Revision instructions also
allowed agents to do work assigned to a named teammate themselves.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the final reply. Reject helper tool requests without borrowing
parent authority or stopping the parent. Keep an unconfigured sandbox
process alive between turns. Treat assignment-only changes to completed
tasks as metadata changes. Preserve explicit teammate assignments during
revisions.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the retained Runner E2E cases for file handoff, teammate reuse,
Daytona warm continuity, and Legacy Claude interview/plan acceptance.
The focused regression tests reproduce the reply, helper,
process-lifetime, and assignment-wake defects without provider calls.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The live lifetime and completion campaign used `db3857807`. This PR
replays the changes on master `c65fc9e3c`. See Verification for the
limits of that evidence.

**Deployment mode**

Isolated local instances and native Runner sessions in Daytona
sandboxes.

Related work: #13546 handles a different queued-run issue after an
issue-lock compare-and-set failure. This PR prevents the unnecessary
assignment wake earlier. #13410 covers retained user services; this PR
covers the provider process. No duplicate fix was found.

## What Changed

- Exclude generated deliverable-binding comments from final-reply
deduplication. Preserve the attachment and explicit user-facing replies.
- Reject Paperclip tool and input requests from known Codex helper
threads without terminating the parent. Keep unknown-thread rejection
intact.
- Explain how to hire or reuse a persistent teammate and preserve named
delegation on revisions. Update generated protocol fixtures.
- Use stable, token-free GitHub wrappers for unconfigured native
sandboxes. Preserve credential isolation, configured-account rotation,
and cleanup after partial staging failures.
- Do not queue assignment-only wakes for done or cancelled tasks. Keep
explicit reopening behavior.
- Make warm-continuity fixtures create real review cards. Read the
persisted final response selected by production presentation logic.
Missing selected evidence still fails.

## Verification

- Before rebase: 560 focused route, native-executor, and launcher tests
passed. The new regressions were reproduced before their fixes.
- Live E2E: Legacy Claude interview/plan acceptance passed 3/3
repetitions. Daytona warm continuity passed 2/3 full repetitions. Each
successful run retained one process and provider session for all three
turns.
- The remaining Daytona repetition stopped after a same-URL browser
reload left the page blank. Both completed turns retained the same
process. Its failed verdict remains unchanged; this PR does not claim
the blank-page cause is fixed.
- Reports:
https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-lifetime-race-20260920/investigation.html
and
https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-behavior-followups-20260919-results/investigation.html
- Post-rebase `pnpm build` and `pnpm -r typecheck` passed. All 414
Runner E2E harness unit tests and its typecheck passed. Codex protocol
tests: 88 passed, 2 ignored.
- Latest-head CI: 55 successful checks and 2 intentional skips.
Greptile: 5/5 with no review threads. The unchanged workspace exposure
tests hit a fixed-port collision on the first CI attempt; their local
suite passed (25 tests, 3 platform skips), and the CI shard passed on
one retry.
- The duplicate local `pnpm test:run` was stopped after the full hosted
general and serialized test shards passed. It did not finish locally and
is not counted as a local full-suite pass.

## Risks

Configured GitHub accounts retain run-scoped credential rotation and can
still restart warm processes. That limitation requires a separate
design. Known provider helpers cannot use Paperclip coordination tools
directly; they must return findings to the parent. The delegation prompt
is an instruction, not an enforced guarantee; Codex Mini hiring/reuse
failures remain open. No schema or workflow changes are included.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository tools, code execution, and
parallel coding agents. The exact deployment suffix and context-window
size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 7bc03e0acd feat(runner): default harnesses to full auto and support task reassignment (#13686)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Agent Chat uses native runners to save plans and coordinate tasks.
> - Provider defaults differed across harnesses and could stop
unattended work at a second permission gate.
> - Agents also lacked a dedicated tool to move existing work to another
agent safely.
> - This change defaults native providers to full automatic permission
for provider tools and connected tools.
> - A guarded reassignment tool preserves task identity, stops the
previous run, and schedules the new owner once.
> - Codex and Claude chat acceptance tests now use production permission
defaults.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Native runner, ACPX Claude permission policy, task authority, and Agent
Chat acceptance tests.

**Problem or motivation**

A user can authorize an agent to save a plan or create a task, but
Claude's default provider gate can still stop that action. Reassignment
needs a dedicated operation that preserves context and avoids concurrent
owners or unintended recovery runs.

**Proposed solution**

Default Claude/ACPX to `approve-all`, OpenCode to `allow`, and Codex to
`never`. Apply the defaults at configuration, execution, fresh-session,
resume, driver, and proxy boundaries. Keep explicit permission settings
and server-side company, claim, task-mode, and approval checks. Add
`reassign_task` with version checks, durable idempotency, audited
cancellation, and guarded successor scheduling.

**Alternatives considered**

A Paperclip-only allowlist still blocks provider tools and other
connections during unattended work. Full automatic permission is the
requested product default. Recreating a task discards its identity and
history. Updating assignment without stopping the previous run can leave
two agents working on the same task.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the existing planning, delegated work, governed tool
access, and recovery features. It adds no new service or schema
migration. Recent related tasks and open PRs were checked for duplicate
work.

**Additional context**

Related: #13678 (Agent Chat tools and recovery), #13677 (remote runner
startup). The stacked legacy-adapter companion is #13693. This also
fixes the deployed-server artifact fallback needed to stage the current
runner binary.

## What Changed

- Default Claude/ACPX to `approve-all`, OpenCode to `allow`, and Codex
to `never`, including missing settings at direct driver and proxy entry
points. These defaults cover provider tools and connected tools.
Preserve explicitly configured restrictive modes.
- Include assigned approval reads using canonical side-effect
classifications, so verifying a recorded approval does not trigger
another provider gate. Paperclip approval decisions still enforce
controller authority.
- Carry the new permission mode through server configuration, execution
contracts, recovery identity, TypeScript, and Rust. Keep
`approve-paperclip` as an optional restricted mode, with exact SDK rules
and closed unknown requests. It is not a default.
- Add `reassign_task` to the semantic catalog, controller, mock
authority, and generated contracts.
- Guard reassignment with company authorization, expected owner and
version, protected-state checks, and durable retry receipts.
- Honor explicit backlog task creation atomically with the initial plan,
without scheduling a wake. Preserve backlog holds regardless of
dependency readiness.
- Stop active work before changing ownership. Restore the prior owner
through a guarded, idempotent wake if final handoff validation fails.
Keep intentional reassignment stops out of failure recovery. Preserve
backlog and blocked states without waking them early.
- Add authorization, concurrency, replay, stop, and permission boundary
regressions. Add Codex and Claude chat reassignment cases and run native
chat cases with production defaults.
- Clarify shared runner guidance: save plans and Paperclip documents
directly with `write_document`; create and register a local file only
when a downloadable file is requested.
- Document provider defaults and the operator choices for existing
agents.

## Verification

- Current head `d82fbb0f03546d27cecf072250e4172e0b1ee662`: **55 checks
passed**, with two intentional skips. [PR
checks](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13686/checks).
- Greptile reviewed that exact head at **5/5**. The security reviewer
acknowledged the intended full-auto default, and the acknowledged
discussions are resolved.
- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed locally
after rebasing onto current master. Targeted adapter/server, runner,
API, default/resume, and heartbeat configuration tests passed.
- **All six real-provider acceptance cases passed on their first
attempt, with cleanup passing:** plan handoff, task reassignment, and
backlog creation/status, each on native Claude and Codex. Evidence
records Claude's effective `approve-all` mode. [Campaign and
downloadable
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35469926548).
- The live campaign tested combined revision
`a37881c824dcd7170380fc4b788732fc743e5da7`. The final PR heads add only
a heartbeat test expectation correction; application code is unchanged
from that live-tested revision.
- The campaign's result-enforcement job passed. Its separate report
publisher failed because the trusted workflow's `patchedDependencies`
configuration differs from its frozen lockfile. All six results and
screenshots remain available as GitHub artifacts. The overall manual
workflow is red for this publishing failure.
- Full-suite coverage is supplied by the passing CI partitions. The
separate unsharded local run was stopped after the corresponding CI
partitions passed; it is not counted as a completed local run.
- Reassignment tests cover stale state, cross-company access, denied
authority, cancellation failure, compensating wake, and idempotent
retries. Backlog tests verify the original creation audit, saved plan,
exact task count, and absence of task-bound runs.

## Risks

- Agents with no explicit permission mode now receive full provider tool
permission, including connected tools. This is a deliberate broad
default. Existing explicit restrictive modes still apply. Controller
authorization, company isolation, workspace boundaries, and Paperclip
governance remain in force.
- Reassignment crosses run cancellation and task ownership transactions.
Durable stop intent, revalidation, audit receipts, and guarded queue
dispatch cover interruptions and retries.
- The new permission enum requires a current runner artifact. The remote
artifact fallback uses the same resolved controller binary for upload
and execution.
- Live provider behavior remains subject to the selected model. Targeted
live results do not qualify the full catalog.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with code execution and repository tools.
The exact deployment model ID and context-window size are not exposed in
this session.

DottaandPaperclip 43acbcc398 fix(runner): preserve sessions and complete question and approval continuations (#13655)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner connects task state to provider sessions.
> - Follow-up turns must retain provider memory and carry new user
direction.
> - Lost session IDs caused repeated context and extra input tokens.
> - Native question answers and approval races could leave valid work
blocked.
> - This pull request repairs those paths and adds regression coverage.
> - Agents can continue accepted work without repeating the conversation
or losing the user's answer.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13574. That merged PR shortened continuation prompts and moved
question instructions into tool documentation. This change preserves
sessions and fixes failures exposed by broader testing. Related runtime
work: #13408 and #13410.

**What happened?**

Native follow-up turns could lose the provider session ID. Completion
guidance could replace the original task with its latest comment. Claude
native questions could remain pending after the user answered. Approval
during a running tool call could suspend the run before the tool
response arrived. Onboarding and chat handoff instructions also caused
repeated planning or missing plan documents.

**Expected behavior**

Reuse a valid provider session. Send only new events when that session
already has the history. Preserve the task requirements and apply later
user direction. Store the question answer and deliver it to the waiting
run. Finish governed tool responses before suspending. Execute the
accepted plan without asking for the same approval again.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the continuation, local-session-integrity, first-task, and
agent-chat suites with native Codex and Claude. Include
provider-question-bridge, accept-while-running, and plan-handoff.

**Paperclip version or commit**

This branch is based on master d54b75011. The active full catalog run
tests 4e75881db. Later review fixes have separate regression coverage.

**Deployment mode**

Isolated local instances and Daytona sandboxes in the existing Runner
full-stack E2E harness.

## What Changed

- Retain provider session identity across turns and late usage
snapshots. Send new continuation events on session reuse, with full
context available for a fresh session.
- Preserve task requirements and later direction in completion guidance.
Return the current contract revision after a stale completion
submission.
- Bridge native Claude questions to saved Paperclip cards. Submit
answers through the saved card and resume the same run.
- Delay governed suspension until tool results settle. Add a
deterministic test barrier for approval during an active run.
- Clarify free-text question examples, explicit onboarding plans, and
execution of accepted chat plans.
- Fix continuation readiness, verified output evidence, and declared
screenshot collection.
- Qualify the legacy Claude test CLI at 2.1.277. The old 2.1.19 CLI did
not discover mounted skills. Update the existing workflow pin and
isolated launcher together.
- Refresh the Daytona image lockfile integrity pin after reviewing
master patch updates.
- Carry continuation mode as runtime metadata instead of inferring it
from user-visible text. Install the test Claude CLI without lifecycle
scripts.

## Verification

- Targeted paid verification: 20/20 cases passed across
local-environment campaigns before the rebase.
[Report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-seven-fixes-35397904249/).
- Harness checks: 379 unit tests passed; harness typecheck passed.
- Latest-head PR checks: 55 passed, two intentionally skipped. Greptile
is 5/5; the security scan passes.
- Review regressions: 350 executor tests and 204 session/driver tests
passed. A script-free Claude install was verified with the actual CLI.
- Full catalog, including the explicit-only everyday suite: [run
35417932353](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35417932353).
Completed: **164/205 passed; 41 failed**. [Full dashboard and failure
investigation](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-full-catalog-35417932353/).
Includes 204 case artifacts and one pre-case GitHub authorization
timeout; missing evidence is not scored as a pass. The full run tested
`4e75881db`; Final-head metadata/CLI smoke cases both passed. In the
separate [six infrastructure
retries](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35419769343),
the GitHub timeout case passed and all five Docker preflight failures
repeated. [Follow-up
dashboard](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-full-catalog-35417932353/follow-up/).
- Full local typecheck and build passed on the rebased branch. The full
local unit run completed with 657 passing files, two test timeouts and
one suite setup timeout. All three affected files passed when rerun in
isolation (84 tests). The first full local run was not clean.
- Focused regression coverage includes the live question bridge,
same-run response delivery, UI routing, stale revisions, approval
overlap, and session reuse.

## Full-catalog follow-ups

- Test infrastructure: 14 Claude everyday cells probe an absent host
CLI; six cells failed pre-task GitHub/Docker qualification (GitHub
passes on retry; all five Docker cases repeat; the workflow preflight
allowlist omits their case IDs); five ACPX Codex cells cannot create
sandbox namespaces.
- Runtime: four OpenCode completion-criteria mismatches masked by
shutdown errors, one service-approval suspension failure; three Daytona
recovery failures encounter existing skill files; one duplicate
completion wake.
- Confirmed test defects: question pagination and a noncanonical plan
document key.
- Product/behavior: mismatched visible/required question sets, an
attachment instead of the requested task document, one lone-option
onboarding question, early completion instead of review, and a Codex
Mini completion-schema failure.
- The report job itself fails on trusted master’s stale patch/lock
configuration. The linked report is rebuilt with the shared renderer
from original cell results and public fixture screenshots; it excludes
private snapshots, logs and traces.

These are investigated follow-ups, not silently regraded passes.
First-task passed 51/52. The PR checks are green independently of the
broader catalog’s behavioral/infrastructure failures.

## Risks

- Session reuse depends on a valid provider identity and context
coverage. Fresh-session fallback and reset tests cover this boundary.
- Native question delivery spans saved interaction state and a live
provider run. Tests cover duplicate events, closed runs, and same-run
answers.
- Provider behavior varies. The full paid catalog may expose failures
beyond these targeted fixes; those results will be reported without
relaxing valid approval or output checks.
- The legacy Claude version update is limited to test infrastructure. No
database migration is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository inspection, code execution,
and browser/E2E tools. The exact runtime model identifier and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 11921075a4 Add first-task onboarding skill and Runner E2E coverage (#13517)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The first task helps a new user define and approve useful work.
> - That workflow needs reusable instructions and tests against the
production experience.
> - Native Codex and Claude must load the assigned skill, including
after resume.
> - Maintainers need recorded conversations and precise failed checks to
judge regressions.
> - This pull request adds the first-task skill and a suite in the
shared Runner E2E harness.
> - It keeps behavior results separate from informational quality scores
and incomplete recordings.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The first onboarding task and the Runner E2E report used to review it.

**Current behavior**

Onboarding embeds its policy in a hidden brief. Native Codex drops the
skill-instructions setting at the Rust boundary. The shared E2E harness
has no onboarding suite or full conversation view.

**Proposed behavior**

Assign and invoke `/first-task` for the onboarding task. Send selected
Codex skills as structured protocol inputs. Run twelve scenarios across
legacy Codex, legacy Claude, native Codex, and native ACPX Claude.
Include all 48 cells in full campaigns. Show recorded chat, question and
approval cards, exact checks, instructions, and billing in the shared
dashboard.

**Reason and benefit**

Measure the real onboarding experience before changing prompts.
Distinguish infrastructure failures, behavior failures, and unexercised
journey steps.

**Breaking changes**

No database migration or production API change. First-task instructions
now live in an assigned skill. The user-edited persona is preserved; the
skill includes the maintainer-approved proposal-mode mapping and
saved-plan requirement.

Related: #11043 is earlier onboarding work. #13422 already fixes native
Claude model pinning, context delivery, and read permissions on master;
this branch includes those fixes through its base. The new Claude
recovery test supplements them.

## What Changed

- Extract and assign the first-task skill while retaining the production
greeting and opening question.
- Carry the Codex skill-instructions flag through thread start and
resume. Resolve explicit task skill references only against assigned
skills and send native skill inputs.
- Invoke an unambiguously selected assigned skill through Claude ACPX’s
native slash-command parser on initial and resumed turns, retaining the
entire task/wake envelope as its argument. Do not carry that invocation
into ordinary tasks.
- Restore the saved single-task proposal modes: confirmation card, or
saved plan with revision-targeted checkbox approval. Explicit plan
requests also require a saved plan.
- Add first-response and complete-journey cases with fixed user facts,
acceptance checkpoints, durable outcome checks, and accounting for child
runs.
- Fail the eval when choice questions have fewer than two real options.
Recognize planning documents without treating them as completed work.
- Add optional, bounded quality judging as explicit post-processing.
- Render full conversations and static interaction cards in the shared
report. Conversations start folded. Show original and regraded results
and incomplete journeys distinctly.
- Keep credential-persistence scanning outside the first-task behavioral
suite; retain public evidence redaction.
- Refresh generated capability references after the API-reference edits.
- Correct shared native question guidance and tool schemas: choices need
at least two meaningful options; open-ended questions use canonical text
fields with the required compatibility payload. Verify both formats
through real tool-authority persistence.
- Disable announcements automatically for every isolated Runner E2E
process and label the gallery environment/provider/target explicitly.
- Remove CI races in the GitHub connection browser test and native
session recovery test by waiting for the actual async work before
asserting its results.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/onboarding-first-task-assets.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-onboarding-first-task-routes.test.ts`: 19
passed.
- `pnpm --dir packages/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/drivers/acpx/runtime-host.test.ts
src/drivers/acpx/native-skill-prompt.test.ts
src/cli/acpx-runtime-sidecar.test.ts`: 70 passed. Native command
forwarding and the 1 MiB input boundary both failed before their fixes
and passed afterward. Coverage includes changed skills on reopen,
approval context, and an ordinary subsequent task.
- Runner E2E unit suite: 306 passed. Harness typecheck passed. The 64
first-task fixture and grader tests also pass.
- Full repository typecheck and build passed locally. Server typecheck
and Runner build passed again after the native-command change.
- Full GitHub Actions CI passed on `23e56447b`: all
server/workspace/browser shards, Runner verification, typecheck/release
registry, build, canary, policy, and Docker checks. Greptile reviewed
this exact head at 5/5 with no unresolved threads. The earlier broad
local run had database startup/timing failures that passed isolated
retries; the complete remote suite is green.
- Merge verification against current master: 312 harness tests and 13
native recovery tests passed. Regenerated semantic contracts and fixture
hashes pass their consistency check. Full local typecheck and build also
passed on the stacked queue branch. After merging the latest master and
preserving the GitHub setup timing regression in the split browser
suite, both focused GitHub browser tests passed. Three CI timing/startup
flakes passed local verification and one remote retry; all latest-head
checks are green.
- Real pinned Claude SDK and Claude ACP JSON-RPC probes against a local
mock API confirmed that `/skill-name` expands the assigned skill body
before the model request and retains the task arguments. A prose mention
does not. The probes made no paid model calls. The ACP probe used the
current first-task skill body and retained the wake arguments.
- [Full 48-case campaign and
report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-first-task-35053063880/):
44 passed after three interrupted Codex cases completed in targeted
reruns. Original results, regrades, and all 51 executions remain in the
report provenance.
- [Claude campaign after the shared-question
fix](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-first-task-claude-35099525201/):
10/12 passed with zero single-option failures. All 12 recorded the
current assigned skill and corrected guidance. The failures exposed
skipped skill invocation and a missing saved plan. This PR adds native
command invocation and explicit saved-plan instructions; the subsequent
report below still shows behavior failures.
- [Fresh 12-case Claude
report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-first-task-claude-35102737804/)
at `78452129e`: 10/12 pass after correcting two false proposal-matcher
failures. The recordings said “Here is the task I will create and
run/complete” in approval cards; the old matcher missed that word order.
Regression tests failed before the fix and pass after it. Original
results and offline regrade provenance remain linked. No agent rerun was
needed. Zero single-option-question failures; two behavior failures
remain: direct work before acceptance on a plain first message, and an
explicit plan request without a saved plan. Neither check was relaxed.
The follow-up `82087ac7e` fixes command-prefix size accounting;
`94aefb1f3` fixes only that proposal matcher.
- Report browser checks confirm folded conversations, rendered cards,
explicit Local/Daytona labels, and no page errors. The published-object
audit scanned 1,306 text files across 2,154 objects with no
credential-format findings or prohibited files. Image pixels and unknown
token formats are outside that scan.

## Risks

- Model behavior is nondeterministic. One campaign is evidence, not a
guarantee. The two remaining Claude behavior failures are visible in the
report and require further product work; this PR does not claim all
onboarding scenarios pass.
- The suite checks persisted Paperclip effects. It cannot prove the
absence of arbitrary external effects.
- Historical recordings can miss later journey steps. These remain
incomplete, never passes.
- Native profiles switch runtime after the production onboarding wizard
because it does not yet expose a native option.
- Quality scores are informational and cannot override behavioral
failures.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools, and code
execution. The exact deployed model identifier and context-window size
are not exposed in this session.

cceeb0aa66 test(runner): add everyday workflow evaluation harness (#13474)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner must support project work, delegation, hiring, and
service access.
> - Browser tests exposed lost connection access, rejected helper
events, and stalled recovery.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related work: #13404 contains earlier workflow fixes. #13300 and #13470
changed the CI contracts used by the harness security tests. Merged
companion:
[paperclip-evals#22](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/pull/22).

**What happened?**

Native ACPX sessions did not receive the assigned connection gateway.
Codex helper events could arrive before their spawn receipt and fail
thread validation. A parent continuation could take a shared workspace
before its child retried. A failed native continuation could leave the
task status without a clear recovery blocker. The eval harness also
confused tool approvals with new connection requests and could reject a
valid delegated download.

**Expected behavior**

Keep assigned gateway access and its approval checks. Verify helper
lineage before accepting helper progress. Let a waiting child proceed
before automatic parent recovery. Preserve a failed task's recovery
ownership. Grade the actual requested workflow and its delivered files.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the everyday workflow suite with the native Codex and Claude
profiles. Exercise service approval, connection refusal, delegated
project work, and teammate reuse. The commands and case requirements are
in `tests/runner-e2e/EVERYDAY-WORKFLOWS.md`. Use `pnpm
test:runner-recovery` for controlled crash and replacement cases.

## What Changed

- Pass the scoped connection gateway binding through the native ACPX
host and sidecar.
- Recognize Codex helper lineage from parent metadata and spawn
receipts. Verify early helper events with `thread/read`. Keep helper
events separate from root completion authority.
- Guide agents to use persistent hiring, child tasks, dependency
records, and a blocked handoff while waiting for a child.
- Defer automatic parent recovery while a child has an active execution
path in the same shared workspace. Allow parent recovery when the child
needs review.
- Record Blocked status and recovery evidence when a failed native
continuation needs reconciliation, including existing active or
escalated incidents. Preserve their owner and retry budget.
- Add eight browser-driven workflow cases. Use real decision controls,
explicit child feedback delivery, managed hiring credentials, and
independent ZIP checks inside a bounded Docker sandbox. Verify sandbox
availability before task creation. Record screenshot SHA-256 at capture.
- Keep runner crash probes in controlled recovery tests. Preserve the
original failure when cleanup also fails.
- Display missing accounting and replay revisions as unavailable. Align
harness security assertions with the approved CI changes.
- Make the channel-rejection browser fixture bind its file after the
send captures its payload. This prevents live refresh from removing the
file before the simulated race.

## Verification

- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` passed after merging current
master.
- Runner E2E typecheck passed. Harness unit tests passed: 216/216.
- Wake-queue database tests passed: 55/55. The two added
existing-incident tests failed before the fix and pass after it.
- Docker artifact calibration passed: 12/12. Host-file and host-loopback
isolation tests failed before the fix and pass after it. Read-only
delivery and output limits are also verified.
- Full `pnpm build` passed. Targeted recovery tests passed: 83/83.
- The channel-rejection browser test passed five consecutive runs after
fixing the fixture race found in CI.
- Local general-server (12,351 tests), UI (6,250), CLI (485), and
workspace package groups passed. The monolithic run stopped at an
unchanged lock-heartbeat fixture race; the isolated workspace group
passed on rerun (shared: 747/747). A separate local serialized run
passed 97 files before two socket errors in the unchanged issue-list
route suite; that suite passed 15/15 on isolated rerun. These local full
commands did not finish uninterrupted; the complete CI matrix below
covers the remaining suites.
- Final head `0fb293733fe307be7e6667ae8f1364077d0c6455`: **34 successful
checks, 2 expected skips**, including every server/workspace shard,
browser shard, native runner verification, build, and typecheck. [Final
CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34989136700).
- Greptile reviewed this exact head at **5/5**; all review threads are
resolved. Both Superagent security checks are successful.
- ACPX credential-boundary tests passed: 118/118. Superagent accepted
the runner/sidecar versus provider-environment trace and cleared its
finding.
- The latest paid local campaign on source
`f6a2fdf7ac2af859826a2ae627ff4125a5478529` passed 22/24 cases: Sol 8/8,
Claude 7/8, Mini 7/8. These results predate the merge with current
master.
- The two remaining failures are in `hire-reuse`: Claude exceeded the
attempt deadline during final review; Mini made invalid deliverable tool
calls and remained Blocked.
- Six Daytona cases were not run because the matching immutable runner
image was unavailable. This PR does not claim new remote model results.

## Risks

The changes affect connection admission, helper identity, and recovery
scheduling. Assigned gateway grants and user approval still govern
service calls. The workspace admission gate still exists; the broader
folder-sync design is separate work. Provider behavior can still cause
the two recorded hiring failures. No database migration is required.
Paid cases are opt-in and have bounded attempt deadlines. Project
stories now require Docker and the documented pinned Python image on the
harness host.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6-astra` performed implementation, diagnosis, and
substantive review. OpenAI `gpt-5.6-luna` assisted with verification, PR
preparation, and review tracking. Both used repository tools and code
execution. Context-window sizes were not recorded.

DottaandPaperclip 3b550c80fa fix(codex): correct startup trust, history reads, and resume usage (#13110)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip runs Codex locally and in remote sandboxes.
> - The runner must preserve startup configuration and session identity.
> - Missing project trust can disable repository configuration.
> - Full-history requests use deprecated provider fields.
> - Resume usage describes old work and must not become new run usage.
> - This change corrects startup trust, state reads, and usage
classification.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Normal Codex runs could show repository-trust and history-deprecation
warnings.
Resume could report the preceding turn's token snapshot as a late-turn
warning.
The historical last-usage value could also be attributed to the new run.

**Expected behavior**

Trust the server-selected startup root in isolated configuration. Read
lightweight
provider state and paginated evidence. Use historical cumulative usage
as a
baseline without a new charge or user-facing warning.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native Codex task in a selected repository.
2. Finish the turn and resume the provider thread.
3. Inspect provider notices, history requests, and per-run usage.
4. Repeat startup and cold resume inside a Daytona sandbox.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Codex CLI 0.153.4 is the pinned runtime and reproduced baseline.
Replayed onto master at 6abeb6733. Related authority work: Refs #13092.
This PR retains its startup cleanup and protocol-integrity checks.

**Deployment mode**

Local source checkout and disposable Daytona sandbox.

## What Changed

- Classify the exact historical resume usage event before the generic
stale-turn warning.
- Persist cumulative usage baselines across recovery of the same run.
- Use excludeTurns on resume and lightweight thread reads.
- Page turn metadata and selected turn items with cursor and identity
validation.
- Reject unsupported or incomplete history instead of guessing that
execution is idle.
- Trust the startup execution root on its host, including Git worktree
trust keys.
- Start Codex in that root and retain the selected sandbox profile on
later turns.
- Keep unrelated isolated configuration and Codex's separate hook trust
policy.
- Add Rust, TypeScript, accounting, native integration, and local
run-log documentation.

## Verification

- Codex and native-transport TypeScript: 333 passed before PR replay.
- Adjacent OpenCode/ACPX driver and accounting tests: 49 passed.
- Rust library, serialized: 226 passed. Native Codex integration: 72
passed, 1 ignored, plus two pagination regressions.
- Repository typecheck and build passed. All repository test groups have
passing coverage after fixture and resource retests; the initial
monolithic command was not clean.
- Fresh real Codex native browser tasks returned correct answers without
the three targeted notices. Answers persisted after refresh and restart.
- Real same-thread TypeScript driver tests passed locally and in
Daytona, including cold resume, configuration, skills, and an approved
harmless hook.
- Local usage summed to 64,607 tokens. Daytona usage summed to 42,737
tokens. Each sum matched its final session total exactly.
- See doc/plans/2026-09-09-codex-integration-acceptance.md for the scope
and limits of the live tests.
- After replay onto current master and review fixes: 334 Codex, backend,
and live-session tests passed, including checkpoint serialization and
real-runner process restart. TypeScript checks passed.
- The native Codex integration run passed 83 tests; the large lineage
test passed separately with the release runner (its debug build exceeded
the test deadline).
- All GitHub checks passed on the final PR head. Greptile is 5/5 with no
unresolved review threads. CI regenerates the lockfile for the added
TOML dependency, per repository policy.
- The first server shard hit a timing-dependent duplicate-key failure in
the unchanged artifact-document concurrency test. Its focused 11-test
suite passed locally. One CI retry on the same head passed all 103 files
and 1,405 tests (2 skipped): [retry
result](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34398832930/job/102631274667).

## Risks

- Trust applies only to the server-selected startup root and isolated
configuration. Sandbox and tool permissions remain authoritative.
- Codex still requires approval of individual hook hashes. This change
does not bypass that policy.
- Providers without the required history APIs fail explicitly.
- Daytona acceptance used the production TypeScript driver. Remote
Paperclip UI and remote Rust execution were not tested.
- No new public API, database state, recovery policy, or UI control is
included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 (`gpt-6-astra`). Used for reasoning, code edits,
tool use,
and test execution. The exact context-window limit is not exposed in
this
session. Real-provider acceptance used Codex CLI 0.153.4 with
`gpt-5.6-sol`.

DottaandPaperclip fac07b42ad fix(runner): preserve durable native session authority across recovery (#13092)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner carries tool results and task output to the
control plane.
> - A lost connection must not change which run owns a result.
> - A session must not become reusable while provider output is still
pending.
> - This pull request adds strict recovery evidence and bounded drain
barriers.
> - It preserves current PRP version negotiation and session-goal
support.
> - The benefit is safer reuse of native sessions after a transport
failure.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13038. This is the first of two stacked pull requests. It contains
the native runtime prerequisites. The second pull request contains the
experimental chat-channel integration. It preserves the provider
identity and typed terminal-failure contracts in #13074 and the durable
recovery work in #13075.

**What happened?**

Native session failures could leave retained provider events, incomplete
tool results, or warm handoff state that was not safe to reuse. A later
run could observe output from an earlier authority.

**Expected behavior**

Recovery must preserve exact run, tool, process, artifact, and lease
evidence. Uncertain or corrupt state must fail closed. A successful
close must prove that retained provider output is settled.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the transport and control-plane regressions. They hold and drop
authenticated frames, fail durable writes, and restart fresh controllers
and runner processes with retained state. Provider executables are local
test fixtures.

## What Changed

- Preserve pending provider cleanup and semantic-result evidence across
session close and restart.
- Add an authenticated warm handoff with exact old and new identities,
durable receipts, and completion acknowledgement.
- Drain retained provider events under the cumulative acknowledgement
fence.
- Reject corrupt tool-result contracts without unsafe provider replay or
reusable checkpoints.
- Keep ordinary PRP v1 sessions and current session-goal behavior.
Require negotiated PRP v2 and acknowledged native session evidence
before warm authority rotation.
- Preserve late semantic inputs and exact durable result receipts until
close can prove settlement.
- Add transport, crash-window, artifact, checkpoint, and final-output
regressions.
- Deduplicate resolved execution delivery under the current issue lock.
Reuse the exact existing successor after concurrent scans or a lost
acknowledgement. Preserve newer operator evidence.
- Persist idle provider integrity/capacity failures before process
retirement, retain permanent model-rejection classification, and keep
external question identifiers out of task instructions.
- Expose only the context source on native status events. Keep thin
dispatch projections compatible without exposing the complete context.

## Verification

- Review-fix revision: 128 runtime-context/native-session tests, five
idle-failure/adjacent Rust cases, 24 warm crash-window cases, three
startup-notification/close cases, and five attach/backlog cases passed.
The security and idle-failure cases were first reproduced failing.
- Prior merged revision: runner production build, TypeScript typecheck,
complete Rust workspace tests and formatting passed; 272 focused runner
tests and two real PostgreSQL regressions passed.
- Earlier full runner runs and CI Build failed on missing
semantic-result fixture receipts, stale local provider fixture bytes,
startup-notification ordering, and a confirmation-loss fixture that
could accidentally send its final ACK. Each cause was reproduced and
corrected without relaxing production authority or close assertions.
These earlier runs are retained as failures, not represented as passing
verification.
- The first local repository-wide run failed before later phases because
the isolated install omitted PostgreSQL's native-library aliases; it
also encountered an unrelated occupied-port fixture. Those results are
retained, not represented as a passing run.
- Exact `335b2ee52709afb3885d4d6ebb2a3ece4b5864d6`: the complete runner
suite passed 1,888 tests, with 10 existing skips. The full Rust release
workspace passed with serial test scheduling. The unchanged parallel
Rust run hit the five-second 300-descendant fixture deadline; that
failure is retained. No deadline or assertion was relaxed.
- The resolved-execution regression suite passed 57 tests, including
concurrent delivery, lost acknowledgement, superseded authority, and
newer operator evidence. Plain server typecheck passed. The
duplicate-delivery cases were first reproduced failing.
- Prior exact `335b2ee52709afb3885d4d6ebb2a3ece4b5864d6` CI passed all
required jobs and Greptile reported 5/5. Its local general-server run
passed 7,208 tests but failed one responsibility fixture; later phases
did not run. The fixture started the next wake while its bounded handoff
was active. It also used nonexistent comment IDs, which hid the current
stored-message-author identity rule. The updated tests use real message
authors, preserve task ownership, and await exact automatic handoffs. No
production identity policy changed.
- Current head `aa39275a1f300f7d1a0b16cd0885eea567cff6b0` includes
current master and the native context-source projection. The focused
identity/status cohort passed 27 tests and plain server typecheck
passed. Fresh full repository tests, types, build, required CI, and
Greptile review are pending. Final results will be updated before merge.
- This is deterministic local-provider evidence. It is not a claim of
complete live-provider qualification.

## Risks

- This changes authenticated recovery and close ordering. The TypeScript
transport and runner binary must be built from the same revision.
- Failed or incomplete evidence intentionally prevents reuse and can
require a fresh run.
- PRP v1 ordinary/cold sessions remain supported. A v1 connection lease
cannot upgrade in place. A current v2-capable runner held on a v1 lease
was qualified through owned-process retirement/join, fresh bootstrap on
the same old authority, v2 observation/ACK, then warm rotation. Legacy
binary replacement and adopted-owner migration are not qualified by that
test; rollout must not present them as automatic same-lease upgrades.
- This pull request has no database migration or chat-channel
activation. The second pull request keeps the channel feature
experimental.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex assisted with implementation, tool execution, tests, and
reconciliation. The existing implementation records OpenAI `gpt-6-astra`
assistance. The current environment does not report a context-window
size. No private reasoning traces are included.

DottaandPaperclip 6681104692 fix(runner): preserve provider identity and terminal failures (#13074)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runner translates provider events into durable task execution.
> - Provider notifications can refer to another thread or a descendant.
> - Root validation treated these notifications as fatal, and later
layers could lose the original failure.
> - This pull request classifies event identity and preserves structured
terminal failures.
> - The server can then choose safe recovery without weakening tool
authority.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13038. This change incorporates the shared protocol-integrity and
bounded-cleanup prerequisites from that PR. It does not include the chat
feature. Related failure classification work: #13028.

**What happened?**
An informational provider notification for another thread could
terminate the root session. A failed stream could then become a
missing-result error and lose its cause.

**Expected behavior**
Ignore unrelated informational notices with bounded diagnostics. Reject
invalid authoritative events. Preserve the original failure code and
recovery meaning through cleanup.

**Steps to reproduce**
Run a native Codex task. Deliver a notification for an unrelated thread,
or close the stream after a structured failure. Inspect the root outcome
and recorded failure.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced before e20010472. This branch includes the current
session-goal contract from that commit.

**Deployment mode**
Built from source. Native runner with Codex.

## What Changed

- Classify root, provider-confirmed descendant, stale, unrelated, and
invalid provider events.
- Keep tool requests bound to their original execution authority.
- Preserve typed failures through transport, session, and durable
control-plane cleanup.
- Keep bounded cleanup failures separate from the primary execution
failure.
- Add compatible shared contracts for continuation context, execution
status, and explicit reconciliation. The dependent PR adds their server
and UI consumers.

## Verification

- Runner TypeScript and ACPX suites: 1,733 passed, 7 skipped. Node
contracts: 38 passed.
- Real provider-process fixtures cover 300 descendant identities across
restart, the 4,096-identity capacity boundary, and rejection of
continuation after terminal acknowledgement and restart.
- Repository build, typecheck, and full `pnpm test:run` passed on the
rebased stack (18,448 tests passed, 49 skipped). The full Rust workspace
passed with `--test-threads=1`; parallel execution exposed an existing
fixture port-reservation race. All latest-head CI checks passed. One
unchanged artifact-document concurrency test failed on the first CI run
and passed on its single rerun.
- Added notification, streaming failure, protocol integrity, cleanup
quarantine, and durable failure tests.

## Risks

Provider event classification must retain the new session-goal behavior
on master. Descendant notifications must never gain root tool authority.
Shared contract fields are additive. This PR does not migrate data or
start replacement provider work.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The exact deployment ID and context window
were not exposed. Used reasoning, tool use, code execution, and browser
automation.

DottaandPaperclip e095b84dab feat(connections): connect services from native task feeds (#13058)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents use connections to reach external services.
> - A fresh native task can have no service tools installed.
> - The agent needs a way to discover services and ask the responsible
person for access.
> - This pull request brings the existing connection-intent flow into
native task execution.
> - The person can connect from the task, and the agent can continue
with updated tools.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Native runner tool authority, connection intents, task interactions, and
shared connection setup.

**Problem or motivation**

A task that needs an unconnected service cannot finish its work. Leaving
the task to configure access also loses context. A resolved request must
survive a restart and resume the correct agent once.

**Proposed solution**

Expose connection discovery and access requests as server-owned native
tools. Render a durable task card and use the shared setup dialog.
Persist outcome delivery and start a fresh provider session after access
is ready.

**Alternatives considered**

Sending the person to the Connections page adds navigation and does not
solve continuation. Polling for authorization consumes runs and can
create duplicate requests.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the existing connection-intent runtime and setup
experience. It reuses the shared access model and the native runner.

Related: #12345, #12347. The service-slug fix in #12906 is related but
separate. Companion evaluation PR:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/pull/21.

## What Changed

- Expose `connections_search` and `connection_request` with server-bound
company, task, agent, and responsible user. Preserve the legacy entry
points.
- Discover catalog services and authorized custom connections. Check
installation, identity, health, and executable permissions before
reporting ready.
- Keep pending cards through ordinary messages. Reuse requests and
retire stale ownership. Put Connect at the right of Not now.
- Reuse the shared setup flow in a task dialog. Keep access additive and
default to the requesting agent. Recover from cancelled or blocked OAuth
windows with a new-tab fallback.
- Persist outcome delivery with an idempotent wake key. Resume in a
fresh session and recheck ownership before dispatch.
- Add native browser fixtures, offline Storybook states, server
contracts, and evaluation fixtures. Update guidance and documentation.

## Verification

- `pnpm build`: passed after replaying the change on current master.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build-storybook`: passed.
- New continuation-policy regression cases: 16 passed.
- Docker-backed PostgreSQL regressions passed for requester-only OAuth
access, assignment-only expiry, terminal expiry, and credential-free
setup metadata.
- Shared setup and task-card UI tests: 121 passed, including configured
MCP reconnect URL recovery and preserving user edits across refetch.
- Storybook browser checks: all 119 passed on the latest reconnect fix.
- `pnpm test:run`: 4,734 tests passed in the first server group, but
embedded PostgreSQL startup failures and resulting cleanup errors
prevented a complete local pass. All Linux CI lanes passed on the latest
reviewed commit. One external-object route test returned an unexplained
500 on the first run; it passed twice locally and the failed shard
passed on retry without code changes.
- Earlier feature-checkout evidence: three deterministic native browser
journeys passed, including restart delivery and an actual fixture tool
result. Legacy scripted coverage also passed. All 59 added stories were
inspected in light and dark themes.
- Live Notion testing recorded successful provider reads. The manual
test used a local-trusted instance. It does not prove
authenticated/cloud deployment or every provider journey.
- Native browser rerun reached the embedded PostgreSQL startup limit
before bootstrap, so the latest checkout’s full native browser journey
remains unverified. Both OAuth page/task regression cases passed against
isolated Docker-backed PostgreSQL 17. They verify no premature task
access, requester-only completion, additive retries, and reconnect
preservation.
- Applied both new migrations twice to isolated PostgreSQL 17. Foreign
keys remained intact, duplicate active delivery keys were rejected, and
failed delivery records did not block retries.

Reviewer path: start a fresh test drive, enable the native runner, use
an agent that can perform work directly, and ask it to summarize a
Notion page. Connect from the card, then verify the resumed provider
call and source-linked answer. The default test-drive CEO is instructed
to delegate, so it can introduce an unrelated hiring step.

## Risks

- Two additive migrations create durable deliveries and a partial unique
wake index. They are idempotent. The wake index can require a
maintenance window on large tables because migrations run in a
transaction.
- OAuth and continuation cross asynchronous boundaries. Tests cover
ownership changes, retries, additive access, and restart delivery; live
provider behavior still varies.
- The latest requester-scope fix has not yet been exercised through live
OAuth. GitHub, API-key, authenticated-user, and all recovery journeys
are not claimed as verified.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6-based Codex assisted with implementation, tests, and review
using tools and code execution. The runtime does not expose the exact
model version, context window, or reasoning setting. Live evaluation
used `gpt-5.6-luna`; manual native testing used `gpt-5.6-sol`.

DottaandPaperclip fee8d8dc39 fix(runner): repair direct live provider bootstrap (#12932)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip runs AI agents through qualified provider backends.
> - The direct live eval workflow builds one immutable Runner runtime
for every matrix cell.
> - The workflow reinstalled the packed Runner with npm.
> - That install discarded pnpm patches and selected provider
dependencies outside the qualified lock.
> - The first pnpm deployment model also placed its virtual-store marker
at the wrong level; a real deployment keeps `.pnpm` beside the scoped
Runner package.
> - AgentCore enforced the current context-aware harness but the direct
eval CLI did not supply the production v3 runtime context that harness
requires.
> - This pull request preserves the qualified dependency graph, resolves
the real deployment layout, and makes direct evals exercise the
production runtime-context contract.
> - The benefit is that live eval cells reach their provider turn with
the same artifacts and context contract that Paperclip qualified.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #12931

**What happened?**

The full direct live eval campaign failed every ACPX cell during
`session.open`. The portable runtime had an incorrect dependency root.
Its npm install also discarded the qualified ACP server patches.
AgentCore cells first failed because Runner enforced
`aws-agentcore-harness-v1` while the provisioned stack and eval profile
use `aws-agentcore-harness-context-v2`; after aligning that revision,
the direct eval CLI still omitted the required v3 runtime context.

**Expected behavior**

The direct eval runtime must preserve the frozen pnpm dependency graph
and patched provider bytes. Runner, server validation, OpenAPI, and the
deployed AgentCore stack must use one qualification revision. Direct
eval attempts must supply the same immutable native runtime-context
contract as production.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Dispatch `Runner Direct Live Protocol Evals` from `master`.
2. Select an ACPX Claude, ACPX Codex, or AgentCore roster.
3. Observe a pre-turn provider bootstrap failure.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`d96452db059338b329b458ba8fe359fef72f1363`

**Deployment mode**

GitHub Actions on the RunsOn Linux x64 fleet.

## What Changed

- Build the reusable direct-eval runtime with `pnpm deploy --prod`.
- Resolve ACPX dependencies from the actual scoped-package layout of a
self-contained pnpm deployment.
- Align AgentCore configuration and qualification checks on
`aws-agentcore-harness-context-v2`.
- Materialize a minimal immutable v3 runtime context for each isolated
direct eval attempt.
- Add workflow, package-authority, runtime-context, Rust, and server
regression coverage.
- Document the qualified packaging, runtime-context, and AgentCore
revision contracts.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts` (70 tests)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/cli/eval-session-contract.test.ts` (14 tests)
- Focused Runner contract tests (36 tests)
- Focused server profile tests (47 tests)
- Focused Rust managed-provider and native-selector tests (19 tests)
- `node --test
packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/runner-protocol-eval-workflow-security.test.mjs`
- `actionlint .github/workflows/runner-protocol-live-evals.yml`
- A local `pnpm deploy --prod` produced both qualified ACP server
digests.
- A Linux reproduction of the first follow-up smoke identified the real
deployment root and the missing AgentCore runtime context.

## Risks

The AgentCore revision change rejects profiles that still use the
obsolete v1 value. This is intentional because the provisioned
context-aware harness and current eval profile use v2. Direct eval
prompts now receive the same fixed runtime-context preamble as
production, so behavior scores may move; that is the intended
qualification surface. The workflow package layout changes, but tests
assert the new entrypoint and dependency root. This change does not
modify the browser full-stack E2E workflow.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with GPT-5.6. The context-window size is not exposed in

diagnostics.

Dotta 263f181fed fix(runner): complete live hot restart adoption (#12852)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Runner owns durable provider sessions and streams their
work to the control plane.
> - Pull request #12845 added native restart recovery for live and dead
local runners.
> - A real browser test found three live-adoption gaps after that pull
request merged.
> - Lazy runner process ownership was not always stored before restart.
> - The old controller did not release its PRP authority without closing
the provider turn.
> - Reconnect events could arrive before the active provider turn was
restored.
> - This pull request closes those gaps and proves the same turn
completes after a UI hot restart.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12845

Related search results: #12646 covers indeterminate command results
after a runner restart. It does not cover controller adoption or
active-turn rebinding. No open duplicate pull request was found.

## What Changed

- Store lazy runnerd process ownership after provider session creation,
read, and resume.
- Detach native PRP controller authority during coordinated hot
shutdown. Keep the live provider turn running.
- Restore the exact checkpointed provider session when bounded PRP
identity events have been compacted.
- Restore the active provider turn before reconnect events are replayed.
This prevents `turn_binding_mismatch`.
- Keep exact live ownership by the current controller out of generic
orphan recovery.
- Add driver, transport, and server regression tests for these paths.

## Verification

- Ran 12 Codex driver lifecycle tests.
- Ran 53 runnerd transport tests.
- Ran 143 recovery and orphan-reaper server tests.
- Ran all 8 real-process restart recovery scenarios.
- Ran all 96 existing runner E2E unit tests.
- Ran runner TypeScript typecheck.
- Ran server TypeScript typecheck.
- Ran the migration replay test and migration safety checks.
- Tested the board UI on an isolated local instance. A real local
Codex-backed turn entered a 120-second terminal wait. The UI `Restart
now` action replaced the server and kept the same runner PID, process
start time, run ID, native session ID, runner ID, provider session ID,
and active turn. The original turn then completed.
- Confirmed one heartbeat run, no retry row, one result, one
proposed-result event, one terminal event, no protocol errors, no active
recovery state, and no surviving runner or provider process.

## Risks

- A live runner can continue provider work while no server owns the
control route. Recovery fails closed when the process fingerprint or
durable identity is ambiguous.
- Provider identity can be restored from the database only for an exact
verified adoption claim. An authenticated live `session.snapshot`
validates that identity before the driver can resume.
- The new detach path applies only to native sessions that expose
restart detachment. Other adapters keep their existing shutdown
behavior.
- This follow-up does not change the database migration or
`package.json`. The migration in #12845 remains replay-safe through `ADD
COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS` and its embedded-Postgres idempotence test. The
dedicated real-process command remains in `doc/DEVELOPING.md`.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex based on GPT-5. The exact serving build and
context-window size are not exposed. The run used extended reasoning,
repository tools, shell execution, and in-app browser automation.

Dotta af3023f1e3 fix(runner): repair paid provider startup paths (#12769)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents that perform work.
> - Paperclip Runner connects durable task runs to local provider
processes.
> - The full-stack paid matrix exposed failures after the runner
integrity repair.
> - Verified JavaScript entrypoints lost their relative module graph
when Linux executed them through descriptor paths.
> - Returned provider startup errors also remained pending and became
indeterminate after recovery.
> - Sparse Codex tool lifecycle events lost the `write_document`
identity before task transcript projection.
> - This pull request repairs those three boundaries and makes the
structured-question fixture deterministic.
> - The benefit is repeatable provider startup, exact failure replay,
and correct inline Plan placement.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12721 and #12700.

**What happened?**

The paid runner matrix failed ACPX and OpenCode startup before provider
session creation. The runner journal then replaced the original startup
error with an indeterminate recovery result. Native Codex saved a Plan
but rendered it only as a fallback card. A legacy Claude waiting reply
could also echo the reserved terminal marker before the answer arrived.

**Expected behavior**

Verified JavaScript providers must start from immutable
descriptor-backed artifacts. Returned startup failures must persist as
terminal failed command results. Native tool lifecycle updates must
preserve the `write_document` boundary. Pre-answer fixture output must
not contain the reserved terminal marker.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run the local provider cells in the Runner Full-Stack E2E workflow.
2. Observe ACPX and OpenCode fail during `session.open` before provider
execution.
3. Observe recovery report `execution_indeterminate` instead of the
original startup error.
4. Run the native Codex Plan cell and observe the fallback Plan card
after the tool activity row.
5. Run the legacy Claude structured-question resume cell and observe an
early marker echo in waiting prose.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`0f9452101740835ce0b1488a204bf48acd5bafc3`

**Deployment mode**

Local development with the paid GitHub Actions acceptance workflow.

## What Changed

- Bundle the ACPX sidecar and OpenCode proxy as self-contained Node ESM
entrypoints before hashing and verified descriptor launch.
- Anchor ACPX dynamic provider package resolution at a
controller-derived provider-pack root and keep that root out of the
provider child environment.
- Persist executor-returned startup errors as redacted durable failed
command results while retaining indeterminate recovery for true process
death.
- Coalesce sparse native tool items by stable ID so a late
`write_document` name, input, and result reach the transcript boundary
once.
- Forbid the structured-question fixture from spelling or announcing its
reserved terminal marker before the user answers.

## Verification

- Rust and TypeScript regression tests cover durable failed replay, true
crash ambiguity, bundle closure, package-root derivation, environment
filtering, exact Codex tool lifecycle coalescing, and prompt
determinism.
- Local execution is intentionally limited to formatters and static diff
checks. GitHub Actions will run tests, type checks, builds, and security
checks.
- After ordinary CI is green, scoped paid cells will validate one ACPX
launch, one OpenCode launch, native Codex Plan projection, and legacy
Claude structured resume before a complete matrix rerun.
- Prior failing matrix:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33682434315

## Risks

- Bundling changes the bytes covered by provider launch hashes.
Provider-pack generation already hashes the final built files.
- ACPX still loads qualified provider packages dynamically. The
controller supplies a normalized package root, while existing version,
digest, path, and descriptor checks remain active.
- Durable `failed` is terminal. Replays return the same redacted result
and do not execute the provider effect twice.

## Model Used

0cc40037ac fix(runner): accept the indeterminate command result after a runner restart (#12646)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The runner subsystem pairs a Rust runner process with a durable
control plane in TypeScript. The control plane is the authority for
every command the runner executes
> - That pair has a crash-recovery contract. If the runner dies between
journaling a command and confirming the command's effect, it must not
run the command twice
> - The runner keeps its side of the contract. On restart it promotes
such a command to the `indeterminate` status and reports that status
back
> - The control plane did not accept `indeterminate`. It closed the
connection without a diagnostic, the runner reconnected and replayed the
same result, and the loop repeated forever
> - This pull request accepts `indeterminate` as a terminal command
status
> - The benefit is that a session survives a runner crash during a tool
call, instead of hanging until a 30 second deadline expires

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists for this defect, so it is described here.

**What happened?**

A live session cannot resume after the runner process is killed during a
governed tool call. The resumed transport waits for the provider
identity for
30 seconds and then fails with `runnerd did not report its provider
identity`.

`packages/paperclip-runner/src/live/live-session.test.ts` covers this
exact
sequence in "terminates real runnerd after a durable receipt and resumes
its
exact provider thread". That test has a 15 second budget, so it reports
the
defect as `Test timed out in 15000ms` and reads like a flake.

**Expected behavior**

The resumed control plane accepts the runner's recovery report, the
runner
reports its provider identity, and the session resumes on its original
provider thread.

**Steps to reproduce**

Build the runner binary, then run the test:

```
cargo build --manifest-path packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml --locked --workspace --bins
cd packages/paperclip-runner
npx vitest run src/live/live-session.test.ts -t "terminates real runnerd"
```

It fails every time on an idle machine. It also fails at `560e7e48b`,
the
commit that added the test, so the defect is not a recent regression.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `master` at `0a422fda5`, which is the base of this branch.

**Deployment mode**

Local development, running the package test suite.

**Root cause**

`DurablePrpControlPlane.#commandResult` accepted only `completed`,
`failed`
and `rejected`. The runner reports a journaled-but-unconfirmed command
as:

```json
{ "status": "indeterminate",
  "result": { "code": "execution_indeterminate",
              "message": "runner recovered after journaling this command; it will not execute twice" } }
```

That status fell through to a silent `connection.close()`. The runner
reconnected after 250 ms, replayed the same result, and was closed
again. No
durable event ever reached the control plane, so the transport never saw
`harness.ready`.

`indeterminate` is a deliberate part of the runner's contract. See
`reconcile_pending_commands` in

`packages/paperclip-runner/runner/crates/runner-core/src/durable/state.rs`.
The rest of the TypeScript code already models the status; only this
control
plane did not.

## What Changed

- `DurablePrpControlPlane.#commandResult` accepts `indeterminate` as a
  terminal command status.
- The persisted-state validation accepts `indeterminate`, so a control
plane
  restarted over the same directory can read its own saved state back.
  Without this, accepting the status would make the next restart throw.
- `DurableRecoveryCoreCommand.status` includes `indeterminate` in both
  declarations of that interface.
- Added an integration test that drives the exact recovery frame the
runner
sends. It asserts the connection stays open, the next command is
delivered,
  the status is persisted, a restarted control plane reloads it, and a
  replayed duplicate is absorbed rather than treated as a conflict.

## Verification

All commands run from `packages/paperclip-runner`.

- New test fails before the change and passes after it. Before:
`expected null to match object { kind: 'command' }` — `null` is the
closed
  connection.
  `npx vitest run src/control-plane/durable-prp-control-plane.test.ts`
  → 4 passed.
- The live runner test that exposed this reproduced
**deterministically** on an
idle machine before the change, and now passes in 3.3 s, well inside its
existing 15 s budget. Ran it 10 times in a row: 10/10 pass, 0 failures.
`npx vitest run src/live/live-session.test.ts -t "terminates real
runnerd"`
- Full package suite: `npx vitest run` → 1298 passed, 1 failed. The one
  failure is `src/mock-core/local-runner.test.ts > cleans up the harness
  process group when the controller closes`. It fails identically on an
  unmodified checkout in the same container, so it is a pre-existing
  environment issue and not related to this change.
- Typecheck: `tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit` → clean.

I did **not** raise the test's timeout. The budget was never the problem
—
with a 600 s budget the same test still failed, at 31 s, with the real
error.

## Risks

Low risk, and it widens rather than narrows what is accepted.

- Behaviour only changes for a status that is currently rejected, so no
  previously working path is affected.
- `indeterminate` is terminal, not successful. A caller waiting on such
a
command still receives an error from the transport, which is correct:
the
effect is genuinely unconfirmed. This change does not make an
unconfirmed
  command look like it succeeded.
- The persisted-state change only widens an allow-list, so existing
state
  files stay valid.

Open topics for a reviewer:

- The control plane closes connections without any diagnostic. That
silence is
why this defect looked like a flaky test. Adding a diagnostic channel is
a
  larger change and is not included here.
- `DurableRecoveryProcessedCommand` in
`src/contracts/durable-recovery.ts`
drifts from the Rust `StoredCommandResult` by more than this status: it
declares `commandDigest` and `logicalEffectCount`, which Rust does not
have,
and omits `commandType`, which Rust does. That is a separate correction
and
  is deliberately not folded in here.

## Model Used

Claude Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5`), extended thinking, with tool use and
code
execution.

Depends-on: none — this is a self-contained fix with no dependent
changes.
