DottaandPaperclip 492d537340 fix(native): recover controllers across webserver replacement (#18343)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native execution runs in a remote Runner while the webserver owns
its controller.
> - Encrypted PRP checkpoints and session snapshots already survive a
webserver restart in Postgres.
> - Ordinary warm and per-turn admission still needs local markers and
supervisor metadata to find that state.
> - Replacing the webserver with an empty native controller directory
can therefore lose a usable retained session.
> - This change adds bounded recovery metadata to the existing snapshot
transaction and reconstructs local projections from the selected durable
source.
> - The benefit is native execution continuity across webserver
replacement, with the existing ownership and agent lifecycle policies.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Native remote controller recovery and retained-session continuation
during a webserver upgrade.

**Subsystem affected**

server/ — native runtime, checkpoint persistence, recovery scheduling
and internal upgrade reporting. Product E2E qualification also changes.

**Current behavior**

Without both the local PRP marker and supervisor file, normal
continuation can return before discovering the saved Postgres
checkpoint. The snapshot already exists in Postgres, but its local reuse
compatibility envelope cannot be reconstructed.

**Proposed behavior**

Select the existing durable source, validate its identity and ownership,
restore its PRP state and supervisor projection, then use normal
authenticated admission. Missing or inconsistent evidence holds
recovery. It does not authorize fresh provider work.

**Reason and benefit**

A replacement webserver must recover active execution and later continue
its retained session without the old server's native files. This is one
component of deployment continuity. HTTP traffic switching, workspace
storage migration and Railway rollout remain separate.

**Breaking changes**

No new public endpoint, schema migration or database pool. The private
run-profile envelope is additive. Disk-independent rollback also
requires a reader for the staged controller format and compact
checkpoint part; the first production release containing these readers
is the floor. Older file-backed sessions need an owner checkpoint or the
bounded internal importer.

**Additional context**

Related foundations: #17401, #17916, #17254, #14621, #14622. The
implementation contract and open acceptance gates are in [the dated
plan](doc/plans/2026-10-30-native-controller-checkpoints.md).

## What Changed

- Persist a versioned recovery envelope, at most 4 KiB, beside the
redacted session snapshot in its existing transaction. Keep it out of
public run projections.
- Compare frozen admission separately from prepared attachment
instructions during staged recovery, preserving exact
template/identity/authority checks.
- Bound the existing lazy checkpoint pool at three connections after
measured two-slot burst backlog; keep request/renewal capacities and SQL
operation counts unchanged. The tuning is a separate commit.
- Discover and restore the exact selected retained source without local
native markers. Preserve the 32-candidate window, progress barriers and
current authority checks.
- Fence snapshot and result writes. Acquire coordinator, issue and run
locks in order and check expiry after lock waits. Combine snapshot
ownership/read work into one statement.
- Reuse existing recovery deadlines and drain/resume scheduling.
Retained-owner waits preserve the original unstarted run and actual
lease deadline. Stop, ownership and provider-progress fences precede
deferral. Add bounded native evidence reporting, retained-source import
and retention protection.
- Admit a settled warm source with an authenticated idle goal-read
suffix while retaining active-work and mixed-authority holds.
- Permit lifecycle `turn.stop` checkpoints after accepted results under
existing ownership fences. Claim the existing successor coordinator
before retiring the old warm session, and stage shared attachments only
after verified retirement. Preserve omitted isolated-home defaults and
existing fresh skill-selection order during recovery without hiding real
configuration changes.
- Carry the exact durable six-field PRP binding during active recovery
after a healthy warm handoff. Keep the Runner mismatch guard and
preserve opaque attachment IDs.
- Preserve an already verified active or idle warm process during remote
preparation; revalidate its proof/liveness and retain later
authenticated PRP attachment. Ordinary resumed leases retain suspension
checks.
- Drain retained source events under their original authority, reconcile
immutable source accounting and block unknown source tool dispatch
before target work.
- Persist compact staged handoff intent through authenticated adoption
and recover direct/listener command-loss windows without another Runner
or duplicate attachment.
- Rebuild suspended lifecycle receipts for resumed prepared tasks, and
retry missing lifecycle reads after partial PRP materialization without
overwriting contradictory evidence.
- Add normal warm/per-turn diskless continuation coverage, real Postgres
races and SQL-cost checks. Add a reproducible paired load workload.
- Give only the explicit outage fixture a 15-minute provider idle
window, with a red/green catalog regression preserving all production
timing and lifecycle policies.
- Publish the goal-less task-session pointer in the existing
post-acceptance terminal checkpoint transaction, with current ownership,
accepted-result, reset and newer-progress fences. Keep a private bound
receipt so late completion cannot duplicate or resurrect publication.
- Use a retained warm sandbox in the dedicated continuity fixture, and
accept an exact output token followed by an explanation. Keep the strict
identity oracle.
- Extend the explicit Daytona cell to a five-minute active outage and
another replacement after completion. Require retained provider
identity, a new tool receipt and a useful follow-up result. Add an owned
loopback Postgres E2E fixture for hosts that cannot start embedded
Postgres.

## Verification

**Merge recommendation — `fc68584ce6231a02e47ecd743f55b036ccea034f`:
ready for the qualified native-controller component.** Full CI, fresh
review, local application paths, controlled performance qualification
and the strict live Linux/Daytona case pass. Independent resource
cleanup is complete. Broader rollout, browser reconnection and the
unexecuted transport/platform combinations remain integration gates.
Integrated 484 passed full local recursive typecheck/build and ordinary
active→completion→cache-loss→C component qualification. Fresh review
then found a valid attached-wake failure: preparation appends attachment
instructions before the verifier compares execution to the frozen
admission. 9f4 fixes that by separately checking the pre-preparation
admission and exact prepared execution. Both hashes are captured
privately per admission; the full template, identity, configuration and
authority checks remain. Its regression fails before the fix; 36 focused
cases, 42 staged source/target cases and server typecheck pass
afterward. The review thread is resolved. Exact-head full CI passes
([run
41168228822](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41168228822):
48 successful jobs, one intended skip); the complete `pnpm test:run`
partitions are forced, with the five native suites in the Runner lane.
This is not a claim that an unsharded local command passed. The fresh
exact-head Greptile check succeeds with 5/5 and all six threads
resolved.

The original two-connection database comparison closes **steady PASS and
burst FAIL**. Every relative CPU/WAL/request-p99 gate passes and all
operations/ownership remain correct, but candidate arm 3 drains in
1,015.99 ms and baseline arm 4 in 1,059.67 ms against the unchanged
1,000 ms absolute gate. Those results remain failed. A separate 2→3→4→2
diagnostic reproduces drain times 1,051.57 / 956.79 / 882.02 / 1,065.72
ms: three is the smallest tested passing cap, and the repeated two-cap
failure survives run-order/cache effects.

Separately reviewable `fc68584ce6` changes the existing lazy checkpoint
pool default to three connections. Request capacity stays ten and
liveness two; idle release, shutdown fencing, transaction counts and
pool count are unchanged. Thirteen DB lifecycle/cap tests and DB
typecheck pass. Full recursive typecheck/build pass at exact fc68584,
with the matching server build stamp. The final paired native
feature-cost comparison explicitly uses the **same cap-three policy and
common current DB factory in both variants**; its baseline is
controlled, not the unmodified historical cap-two configuration.
Original gates and workload counts remain unchanged. The one strict
Linux/Daytona case started at 04:40:56 UTC only after both new profiles
passed; it passed on the first attempt with all 49 workflow checks.
Independent cleanup confirms all three owned sandboxes absent, owned
Postgres/controllers/observer gone, VM terminated, root volume absent
and ephemeral SSH key/agent removed.

**Final controlled cap-three qualification: PASS.** Baseline native
implementation `59da15066a` and candidate `fc68584ce6` use the same
current DB factory and checkpoint policy (request/liveness/checkpoint =
10/2/3). Eight 65-second ABBA arms cover 300 controllers and 10,000
historical tasks. All correctness, absolute and 10% relative gates pass;
original cap-two failures remain unchanged.

| Mode | DB CPU µs/op, baseline → candidate | WAL B/op, baseline →
candidate | DB-request p99 ms, baseline → candidate | Maximum drain |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Steady | 542.40 → 554.83 (+2.29%) | 1509.01 → 1558.27 (+3.26%) |
107.11 → 111.90 (+4.48%) | 26.35 ms |
| Burst | 1036.36 → 1063.11 (+2.58%) | 4153.12 → 4317.64 (+3.96%) |
103.736 → 103.841 (+0.10%) | 930.14 ms |

Every matched arm preserves operation/statement/transaction counts,
including 3,900 PRP and 3,900 snapshot transactions. All three actual
pools are included; there are zero lost owners, missed lease deadlines,
dropped operations or errors. Peak Postgres CPU is 18.31%/9.47% of two
cores and memory 614.29/684.42 MiB (steady/burst). The benchmark uses
one Node process simulating 300 controllers; it does not qualify
two-webserver overlap, HTTP latency or hosted capacity. Its observer SQL
contributes to measured database CPU. The original unmodified cap-two
baseline is separately retained as failed; this cap-three comparison is
explicitly controlled.

The exact final-source 8/512/8,192-chunk test also passes: zero recovery
SQL, transactions or changed rows in each text-only interval, zero idle
SQL, seven lifecycle transactions and twelve changed rows per sample.
Existing lease traffic remains separate. The final ordinary managed
application replay passes active recovery, completion, native-cache
removal and C continuation; its UNKNOWN local debug-daemon provenance
and partial instruction-observer limits remain recorded. The live case
uses the attested Linux producer instead.


**Live qualification: PASS, one attempt, no retries.** Campaign
`native-controller-retained-fix-fc68584ce6-ec2-20261031T044055Z` started
04:40:56 UTC on the exact final Linux webserver source; suite definition
hash `12f9bb97823c1537e43f0398e7cddf39890f77bce7b413ca4dfd944f4a30e5d5`.
The existing immutable image and attested Bookworm Runner artifact are
unchanged.

- A was SIGKILLed and its native cache discarded. B started after
300,149 ms, naturally acquired generation 2, authenticated at 316,624 ms
and resumed at 317,682 ms within the original 420,000 ms grace. The same
active run, Runner, provider PID/start fingerprint and one
submitted/started/accepted turn were preserved; one final
result/terminal and workspace finalization completed, with no
retry/recovery action.
- After active and queued completion, B was SIGKILLed and its native
cache discarded again. C received exactly one ordinary task-comment API
follow-up, completed a new tool and produced a useful reply while
preserving native/provider/Runner identities. This closes the earlier
failed post-C gate. A separate C OS-process PID field was not exported;
the physical-PID proof is specifically A→B.
- Four distinct results were accepted and published; all four
finalizations committed at attempt 1, all four accounting-v2 projections
settled, and the task-session pointer advanced to C. The coordinator
independently checked these facts and all 49 canonical checks against
the sanitized receipts.
- Canonical cleanup passed and independent checks confirmed three exact
sandbox 404s plus complete inventory/zero owned remnants, no owned PG or
controller/observer processes, EC2 terminated, root volume absent, and
the ephemeral SSH key/agent removed by 04:54:25 UTC.

Live scope is classic remote Codex warm continuity with non-native
storage dependencies available. Prepared-task completed B→C, full
per-turn application disk loss, browser reconnection, two-server load
and overall Railway/HTTP continuity were not live-qualified here.
Earlier failed campaigns and the original cap-two burst failure remain
failed historical evidence. A report-renderer cache setup failure was
preserved; the normal sanitizer subsequently succeeded with an explicit
cache path and a new output directory, without changing validators.


The repair keeps retained events under their original six-field
authority until persistence and accounting accept them. Unknown semantic
effects stay unresolved. A compact staged target survives source
bootstrap, cached-command delivery and authenticated handoff, including
an uncertain commit response. Direct and same-guest-listener recovery
require the verified original Runner and the exact endpoint. Target
snapshot publication marks readiness in memory, with retirement
coalesced into an existing command write. Headers contain only the
staged descriptor/digest; a prequeue template is written once as a
changed checkpoint part and then recovered from the existing
command/receipt. No second session snapshot transaction, streaming SQL
path, new pool or recurring idle scan is added.

| Current repair gate | Evidence and scope |
| --- | --- |
| Source-tail regression | Real Runner protocol RED reproduced
attachment rejection. Frozen core/transport pass five source-tail cases:
source usage attribution, held persistence/no premature ACK, lost commit
response plus cache loss, unknown semantic hold and accounting rejection
hold. |
| Handoff loss windows | Direct and listener modes pass
queued/prepared/activated/completed boundaries (eight cells), preserving
the actual Runner/provider process. Missing adoption proof and changed
endpoints reject recovery. |
| Compact storage | A 31 KiB attachment grant writes its separate part
once, leaves it unchanged across source snapshots and removes it at
queueing. Headers do not duplicate the grant. |
| Accounting | 21 real-Postgres usage tests and 19 source-binding tests
pass. Recovery hydrates immutable source receipts without resetting
their producer or billing classification; conflicting/incomplete usage
holds. |
| Admission and malformed evidence | Driver 16, staged evidence 42,
restart classifier 27 and source usage 19 focused cases pass. Four
malformed-file regressions pass at d6a7, whose executor is
byte-identical at 484, and server typecheck passes. Full executor file:
990 pass; 16 embedded-Postgres `initdb` setup failures before
assertions, retained separately. |
| Required checks | Exact fc68584 recursive typecheck and build pass
locally, with matching server stamp. Forced full CI succeeds (48 jobs
pass, one intended skip); all PR checks are clean. Maps/token gates pass
for their unchanged source surfaces. Fresh exact-head Greptile is 5/5,
all six threads resolved. |
| Ordinary application path | Exact fc68584 managed component passes
active recovery after natural expiry, completion, native-cache loss and
ordinary C continuation. Production bytes match before/after; temporary
fixtures restored and owned DB/services cleaned. UNKNOWN local
debug-daemon/partial instruction-observer limits remain; the separate
live case uses the attested Linux producer. |
| Producer | Locked Bookworm build from exact 5b7 Rust tree
d03e494217, equal to final fc68584 Rust
source. SHA-256
65b8f8cfdd6099e9ad24f1ca154e8a260777269cc82f6e23c6e6a180c531eaaf;
38,515,328 bytes. Actual Debian 12 execution and live admission pass.
Controller/admission/DB changes do not relabel the producer source. |
| Historical cap-two comparison | Exact 59da baseline vs 5b7 candidate,
300 controllers/10,000 history, ABBA 4×65 s per mode, all three actual
pools and real snapshots. Steady CPU/op 541.36→554.64 µs (+2.45%);
WAL/op 1512.13→1560.99 B (+3.23%); DB-request p99 102.78→105.99 ms
(+3.12%): PASS. Burst CPU/op +4.71%, WAL/op +5.29%, p99 −0.10% pass
relative gates, but absolute drains above fail. Identical operation/SQL
counts, zero lost leases/drops/errors. One Node process simulates 300
controllers; this does not qualify two-webserver overlap or HTTP
capacity. |
| Live acceptance | Strict final-source Linux classic Codex case passes
1/1 on attempt 1, all 49 checks. Active recovery within grace and useful
retained C continuation succeed; four
accepted/published/committed/settled outcomes. Independent provider,
PG/process, VM/root and SSH cleanup complete. Prepared/task and broader
rollout limits are explicit above. |

**Historical qualification snapshot through `9eb9ac6`.** The head at
this snapshot was `9eb9ac6f9e312f3ebe8040f5a7565e88ae8824f3`. Server and
Runner package sources are byte-identical to `283e05ffaa`; the two later
commits change the explicitly scoped qualification and its documentation
only. It includes master through the storage-owner fix
`45a3a92e6dc52d20923b9aa34a22fee2ec5443f9` (#18357). At that snapshot,
CI/review passed but the strict post-C native recovery gate failed; the
PR stayed draft and required another native repair. Prior `39a4343` CI
and review passed, but its full live workflow failed; that grade remains
unchanged. The first repaired `435ccd2` live attempt failed before any
injected outage. It exposed a legitimate terminal snapshot before result
acceptance; no accepted result ID or publication receipt was observed.
Its canonical report remains 0/1 `candidate_failure`, with cleanup
passed and independent provider absence confirmed. `0862062` defers
publication until result acceptance and fixes the fresh review's
coordinator/issue lock-order finding. Both failures have deterministic
real-Postgres regressions. The `0862062` live attempt then proved
accepted-result publication but failed active recovery: a resumed-lease
preparation guard demanded suspension after the exact live Runner was
already verified for adoption. `64c0b746` preserves that verified
active/idle-warm process, revalidates its proof/liveness, and keeps
ordinary suspension checks and later PRP authentication. Its live run
passed preparation but exposed a second active-warm boundary: all
durable binding fields matched except opaque turn/item attachment IDs,
which the server had regenerated. `7a203274` carries the complete
verified six-field binding and keeps the strict Runner mismatch guard.
Its cloud case then passed active adoption, completion, publication and
accounting. The queued continuation exposed accepted-result retirement
writes and an implicit-home fingerprint drift; both are fixed with
deterministic regressions in `39a4343` before this fresh full
qualification.

The prior live case exposed a real publication gap. A goal-less native
turn could persist its accepted result and terminal snapshot before
provider cleanup, while the task-session pointer was still empty. Normal
later admission then selected a fresh session. The fix publishes that
pointer and a private bound receipt in the **existing post-acceptance
terminal checkpoint transaction**, before cleanup. Earlier terminal
observations persist without a handled receipt or continuation pointer.
No result-acceptance or snapshot transaction was added. The late
completion path recognizes the receipt. This also prevents a late
callback from restoring a pointer after a user reset. Goal/control
publication keeps its existing owner.

The dedicated Daytona fixture now uses the existing warm/reusable
environment. Its sandbox, Runner and provider storage must survive. The
former generic per-turn fixture disposed the sandbox after completion
and kept provider-history backup bytes under the discarded directory.
Whole per-turn disk-loss acceptance therefore has a separate
provider-backup storage dependency. It remains distinct from the passing
native per-turn component checks with backup storage available. The
60-second lease, 300-second outage and 420-second grace are unchanged.

| Gate | Current repair evidence |
| --- | --- |
| Assembled regression | Baseline fails with an accepted result and
terminal snapshot but a NULL task pointer while real provider cleanup is
held. The fix passes normal continuation and reset cases, with no
pointer seeding. Exact merged `92b7447` passed 2/2 twice, including
after normal package TypeScript output refresh. Production files are
byte-identical at frozen `435ccd2`. |
| Persistence and concurrency | 19 helper/transaction cases and all 59
existing control-port cases pass on `0862062`. They cover bound result
IDs, reset/newer epochs, Stop, lock waits and expiry, receipt replay,
missing stubs, foreign bindings and atomic 4 KiB rollback. Existing
snapshot transaction count stays one. The new tests reproduce the exact
live missing-result-ID error and the inverse replay/status lock order
against `435ccd2`, then pass after the correction. Replayed results
still reject stale generations. |
| Completion | All 32 completion-boundary tests pass on merged
`92b7447`; the source is unchanged at `435ccd2`. Native result-shaped
session metadata is preserved. |
| Qualification fixture | A valid review report reproduced three
rejected correct replies. Exact token-boundary matching fixes them. 140
focused E2E/catalog cases and Product E2E typecheck pass. Wrong tokens,
marker prefixes/suffixes and wrong authors remain rejected;
retained-identity checks are unchanged. |
| Required checks | Full recursive typecheck and standard build passed
at `435ccd2`. Both exact commands also passed on `0862062`, with its
exact server build stamp; both also pass on `7a203274`, with its exact
server build stamp. Fresh `0862062` Greptile passed 5/5, with zero
unresolved threads. The `64c0b746` normal CI then passed all 49 jobs (48
success, one expected skip) and Greptile passed 5/5 with zero unresolved
findings. The `7a203274` normal CI also passed 48 jobs with one expected
skip, with fresh Greptile 5/5 and zero unresolved findings. Current
`39a4343` recursive typecheck and standard build both pass with
persisted exit codes and its exact build stamp; fresh Greptile is 5/5
with zero unresolved findings. Its normal CI completed successfully: 48
jobs passed and one expected job skipped. The fresh live result remains
separately failed. The `0862062` normal CI had 46 passing jobs, one
expected skip, one worker communication failure and its aggregate
failure; GitHub states the self-hosted runner lost communication. No
failed assertion or specific OOM/spot cause was established, and no
blind retry was used. |
| PostgreSQL supplement | One corrected all-pool pair at the preceding
repair passed 300-controller/10,000-history correctness and absolute
gates. SQL 76,590→75,990; transactions 9,013→8,713; UPDATE rows 11,613
each; 300 correct pointer writes each. PG CPU 31.99→30.46 s, WAL
70.36→67.87 MB, request p99 100.98→103.12 ms. This is one pair, not a
repeated improvement claim or an exact `0862062` CPU measurement. Its
two later changes defer premature publication and reorder existing
locks; they add no transaction, stream/idle writer, pool or timer. The
first collapsed-pool attempt remains invalid and retained. This is not
an exact final-head CPU/WAL measurement; later fixes change ordering,
identity selection and in-memory skill replacement without adding
snapshot transactions, pools, stream writes or idle SQL. |
| Live publication proof (`0862062`) | Baseline run
`06fcc806-f186-4190-9b57-087b61d75533` accepted result
`58f912dc-94d9-4b4d-bd3d-d5f689c83fd3`; the publication receipt names
the same result, the task pointer has parameters and `lastRunId`
matches, and the normalized native identity matches the following active
run. Accounting v2 settled. |
| Active recovery (`0862062`) | **FAIL.** SIGKILL/cache discard at
23:07:28.666 UTC; hold 300,000.859 ms; B ready at 308,896.486 ms;
natural generation-2 ownership at 312,906 ms. At about 319 s,
preparation failed `runner_harness_state_mismatch:
resumed_not_suspended`. No authenticated after-receipt passed within 420
s. Exact original Runner PID 668/start/fingerprint was independently
still alive; provider auto-stop was 15 minutes. No retained C follow-up
qualified. Canonical 0/1 `cleanup_failure`/cleanup-failed report remains
failed; subsequent independent cleanup deleted all three owned resources
with exact 404s and confirmed full intended-account inventory with zero
owned resources. |
| Verified adoption preparation (`64c0b746`) | 91 focused cases pass,
including actual preparation for four active providers and a distinct
prior/current warm proof. Unproved resumed state, dead process and stale
warm owner remain rejected. The earlier options-only fixture missed this
gate. No spawn, backup restore or PRP-authentication bypass was added.
Server typecheck passes. |
| Active warm identity (`64c0b746`) | **FAIL.** B claimed generation 2
at 312,995 ms. Preparation passed, then strict PRP recovery rejected the
generated attachment IDs at about 319 s. The saved and desired Runner,
lease, normalized session and run IDs matched; only
`turn_attachment_…`/`item_attachment_…` differed from generated
`turn-<run>`/`item-<run>`. Canonical 0/1 cleanup-failed report remains
failed; independent cleanup confirmed deletion/404s and zero owned
provider resources. |
| Six-field identity repair (`7a203274`) | Actual server-factory
regression RED4→GREEN38. A real Rust Runner test passes healthy first
run → random-ID warm handoff → held active second run → restored
controller. It verifies a new live authenticated connection, exact
identity, same Runner/provider OS identities, no duplicate launch/turn,
and no redispatch or invented receipt for an uncertain tool. The
synthetic wrong pair still fails the unchanged guard. This protocol case
does not claim business completion. Server and Runner typechecks pass. |
| Active recovery/completion (`7a203274`) | **PASS for the active
component.** Full five-minute SIGKILL/cache-loss hold. B ready at
308,936.651 ms; natural generation 2 observed 312,979 ms; authenticated
at 317,720 ms and resumed processing at 318,527 ms. Same run
`1e1ccb00-0728-4935-97da-57562d81cb42`, Runner
`246f73f7-a689-4177-a9c2-7ce711d63aed`, remote PID 669/start
23:48:27.470, provider lease/session and one submitted turn. Accepted
result `49097529-5310-4ac3-af95-5bf9b91d19f4`, publication, finalization
and accounting v2 all settled. |
| Full workflow (`7a203274`) | **FAIL, preserved.** Queued
late-requirement run `5e61f38d-c7d1-4fc1-bcbf-bce9d46ce4eb` failed
`runner did not durably suspend before checkpoint` before outage 2.
Canonical 0/1 candidate failure, cleanup passed, evidence valid. C
retention was not exercised. Independent provider absence,
controllers/PG cleanup, EC2 termination and root-volume absence all
confirmed; closed receipt SHA-256
`676a3b15eb9937b6bf995c36fb8666c88964d509e5ceb9109fb02da0aa2bc909`. |
| Retirement and stable configuration (`39a4343`) | Real Runner +
Postgres RED reproduced the exact suspension failure and nine owner
rejections. `turn.stop` is now lifecycle checkpoint maintenance under
unchanged owner/result/generation fences. GREEN25/25 proves actual
persisted suspension, exact identity and completed stop/drain/suspend;
unaccepted, foreign, stale and new-work negatives remain rejected. Two
default-home fingerprint REDs become GREEN9/9; explicit mode changes
still invalidate. No global matching exemption or historical fingerprint
rewrite. |
| Fresh full Daytona warm cell (`39a4343`) | **FAIL, preserved.**
Launched 00:15:29 UTC with automatic retries disabled. Active adoption
passed: actual offline hold 300,000.848 ms; B ready 309,922.155 ms;
natural generation 2 at 311,821 ms; authenticated 317,989 ms; resumed
330,440 ms. Same run `3e126819-e786-4b3b-b923-c975cf4f5b79`, Runner
`4079138a-8d7c-44a4-8558-07a5411d1f55`, PID 668/start and
provider/session identities. Accepted result
`08e504af-4dec-48a8-bf05-bf0a32280559` and publication passed. Queued
run `31d168c9-7ab9-4700-abb6-fafb90912237` failed the same strict
suspension error before outage 2. Its row selected a new native
identity, but no new third provider process or invocation was observed.
Recovery-time configuration still reset only `adapterConfig`; native
provider, context and workspace subtrees were unchanged. Canonical 0/1
candidate failure, evidence valid, normal cleanup passed; all campaign
provider/PG/process resources independently absent. Closed campaign

EC2/SSH remain temporarily held for the concrete follow-up repair.
Original 60/300/420-second limits and strict queued/second-replacement
checks remain unchanged. Direct-process path; no new live prepared-task
claim. |
| Native retirement authority (`283e05ffaa`) | Exact `39a4343` facade
regression RED3→GREEN9. The successor now uses its existing production
coordinator claim and prompt renewal before strict retirement. A real
Runner/Postgres case starts in the actual native-observed/unclaimed
phase, claims through production code, then closes and durably suspends
the predecessor in 1.657 s. All 25 real-Postgres cases pass;
unclaimed/foreign writers remain rejected. Shared attachment staging
stays after retirement; Stop and denied claims neither close nor stage.
No new claim or SQL path was added. |
| Configuration continuity (`283e05ffaa`) | Real shared/project-primary
environment selection → configuration with four skill versions
reproduces `reset: true`, changed category exactly `adapterConfig`,
after a Postgres JSONB read. Pinned restoration had reordered the
generated preference while actual runtime skills stayed identical.
Replacing existing pinned rows in place preserves the original fresh
name/key order and fingerprint. The assembled regression passes, as do
three existing pinned-version/rename/alias cases and server typecheck.
Genuine model/skill-selection changes still invalidate. No
fingerprint-format change or broad compatibility exemption. |

PASS: 48 jobs plus one expected skip. Fresh review 5/5, zero unresolved
threads. Live baseline, recovered run and queued continuation all
succeeded, each accepted/published/committed once with accounting v2
settled. Their native/provider identities and configuration fingerprint
match; both recovery and continuation report no reset, no changed
categories and task-session reuse. Active outage/authentication remains
within original timing. |
| Browser-dependent continuation (`283e05ffaa`, definition 6) | **Whole
cell FAIL, preserved.** After B was killed at 00:46:38.928 and its cache
discarded, C became ready in 9,151.410 ms. `openParent()` then hit a
30-second `page.goto`/DOMContentLoaded timeout before posting the final
request. No fourth native run or C continuation was exercised. Cause of
navigation timeout is unknown. C task had no execution lock, queued
comments, handoff or recovery blocker; all three prior runs were
committed/accounted. Normal cleanup passed; independent provider
absence, controller/PG cleanup, EC2 termination and exact root-volume
absence confirmed. Sanitized report bundle SHA-256
`2a3b841d62efb2ae30ef14f96a431ac4fa7fe3a782f1144831512f78edc65022`. |
| Native API continuation qualification (`9eb9ac6f9e`, definition 7) |
**FAIL, preserved.** The real post-C API request dispatched run
`c71fbb18-f979-4fe4-93ce-9c4be46dbf21`, which failed
`native_session_interrupted` / `native_session_recovery_failed` at
01:10:00.640 UTC. It selected the same normalized native identity,
Runner and checkpoint-provider identity as the three succeeded turns. No
C result was accepted; pending accounting remains explicit. Active
recovery passed: actual offline hold 300,001.098 ms, B ready 308,335.019
ms, natural generation 2 observed 311,818 ms, authenticated 315,540 ms,

and cleanup passed are unchanged; that classifier does not establish the
root cause. All owned provider/PG/process resources, EC2, root volume

| Current required checks (`9eb9ac6f9e`) | Recursive typecheck, standard
build and exact build stamp PASS. [Normal
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41152908417)
PASS: 48 jobs plus one expected skip. Fresh Greptile 5/5, latest edited
summary checked, zero unresolved threads. Exact8/512/8,192 stream probes
again report zero recovery SQL/transactions/rows and settled-idle SQL;
seven control transactions/twelve changed rows each, with 36 separate
legitimate renewals in the longest case. CI success does not supersede
the failed live C gate. |

The completion supplement observed secondary request/liveness/checkpoint
transaction p99 increases of 23.0%/45.7%/15.6% in its single pair.
Renewal p99 stayed below 0.865 s, with 900 successful renewals per arm
and no lost leases. The named pool caps stayed 10+2+2. An aggregate
activity sample peaked at 15 non-observer entries without backend-type
classification, so no claim is made that all were client connections. No
sampled lock episodes does not establish zero lock waits.

Twelve pure reader/selector cases also pass with the new adjacent
receipt. This is not another executed process rollback. Development
reader `5cf7aead` can parse the recovery state, but its old run-detail
redactor can expose receipt IDs/outcome to an authorized run reader. The
first production release containing recovery readers, complete
attachment-identity handling and both private-field redactions is the
rollback floor. The implicit-home fix prevents new recovery-time
fingerprint drift; it does not rewrite previously stored fingerprints
from failed candidates. The development probe is not a published
supported rollback target.

Latest actual `0862062` Runner tests independently passed 8/512/8,192
text chunks with zero recovery SQL, transactions and changed rows, plus
zero settled-idle SQL. All three observed seven setup/control
transactions and twelve changed rows. The 8,192-chunk case separately
recorded 31 legitimate lease-renewal statements, with no lost lease.
These are component SQL observations, not a production CPU/WAL claim.
The new adoption and identity branches affect recovery preparation only.
The `64c0b746`, `7a203274` and exact `39a4343` CI independently passed
all three stream sizes with the same zero-SQL/idle result; each latest
8,192-chunk case recorded 36 separate renewal statements. Exact
`39a4343` Runner 2/2 passed 133 files / 2,317 tests plus two skips; its
separate native group passed 150 tests plus eight skips.

The first API fixture revision omitted the mandatory final screenshot;
this was caught before paid launch and allocated no provider/model work.
The correction captures the actual retained Chromium page with an
explicit unqualified-browser label, without changing the standard report
validator.

Automatic approval review rejected exporting raw private API/workflow
snapshots because of sensitive payloads and insufficient
destination-specific authorization. Sanitized reports and
bound/hash-only receipts are retained; raw snapshots were not copied
through another channel. This does not change the failed grade.

Repair characterization also preserves its failed attempts. An
unconditional staging relocation broke three existing same-scope
scripted cases; the final implementation defers staging only for an
actual superseded warm scope, and all nine order/race cases pass. One
baseline transform overlapped an edit and is explicitly invalid; the
actual immutable `39a4343` loader then produced the three genuine REDs.
The independent task-directory hypothesis produced a RED but was
excluded by the live shared-workspace evidence; no directory policy
change was landed. A shared-workspace fixture authorization omission was
corrected separately from the four-skill semantic RED.

Setup failures are retained separately from semantic outcomes. These
include an old host port after the owned Postgres fixture restarted and
a sandbox-denied TSX IPC pipe. The supported external-Postgres run
passed, and the final exact recursive typecheck passes with normal
process permissions. Seven stale declaration errors after the master
merge cleared after compiling the actual merged SDK/Runner TypeScript
sources. No declarations were edited by hand.

<details>
<summary>Earlier qualification measurements and failed attempts
(historical, before this repair)</summary>

**Historical blocked gate (before the repair below).** Final native
implementation is `abed921e12d543b62f57a56435419c0dafb0bc33`; current
branch head is `af9e2d157dcc349e55374ad186c9be2d6cb96bf9`. The two later
commits change only qualification fixtures, their matcher and
documentation; `server/` and `packages/` are unchanged. It includes
master through `fd008979f5794fda3d5f54151d36acd31d0de140`.

The live Daytona measurement proves five-minute active recovery,
once-only completion and accounting, but **fails retained-session
identity after the second replacement**. The saved checkpoint and
recovery metadata exist. The task-session pointer remains empty, and
ordinary admission creates new native/provider sessions. The exact
skipped publication boundary remains unproven. A useful saved-file
result alone does not satisfy retained-session continuation. This
application-path gap blocks merge independently of CI.

A separate new-master CI failure is owned by the storage workstream (fix
in #18357). No storage guard, session-identity oracle, lease/grace limit
or provider result was relaxed.

| Gate | Observed result and exact scope |
| --- | --- |
| Distinct source recovery and compatible rollback | PASS at A
`5cf7aead09a2d9c7e2f2929d761f535ef3c1d798` → B
`5ea45f8d17e33c9a62bd79982dcf0375b07733d0` → fresh B → A. Four
controller processes, natural 60-second lease expiry, absent native
projections before replacements, three succeeded/committed unique
results, one provider thread, unchanged Runner identity, and strict idle
cleanup. 177.782 seconds. |
| Immutable installed native component | PASS at installed A
`5cf7aead09a2d9c7e2f2929d761f535ef3c1d798` → installed B
`eaef0d56552c087aaa4fa68a8655282ffbd12667` → fresh B → A. Each
controller imports its contained compiled server and DB. Three unique
committed results, stable Runner/thread, no extra provider restart on
same-contract rollback, strict cleanup. 106.672 seconds. This is
compiled component proof, separate from full CLI-native application
acceptance. |
| Normal public CLI startup | PASS for B
`eaef0d56552c087aaa4fa68a8655282ffbd12667`, Node 24.22.1, darwin-arm64:
fresh external DB, 415 migrations, health ready, root HTML 200, company
POST 201 plus GET readback. The installed tree remained unchanged after
execution. |
| Five-minute component outage | Actual controller absence 300,168 ms.
Natural generation-2 claim at 407.196 seconds after crash, same provider
attempt and Runner, original run succeeded/committed. The larger
540-second case timed out before its retained follow-ups, so it is an
active-adoption pass, not a complete four-controller pass. The complete
short source/installed cases above independently cover follow-up and
rollback. |
| Drain/resume review regression | Fixed in
`226f03e736d1ee99fea1762ab32ea3a8a9241c20`. Five facade-level cases
pass: overdue normal/restart waits, future timer cancellation, another
facade resuming the original owner, and transient retry. Against exact
prior scheduler `5ea45f8d17e33c9a62bd79982dcf0375b07733d0`, four fail
and one passes. The later head changes documentation only. |
| Final corrected-fixture Daytona | **PARTIAL: active recovery PASS;
retained identity FAIL**, exact live source `0b6afc499f`. A was
SIGKILLed and native cache discarded; actual offline hold 300,000.375
ms. B was ready at 308,326.961 ms, naturally claimed generation 2 at
312,059 ms, authenticated at 315,996 ms and resumed processing at
316,519 ms, within the original 420-second boundary. The same run,
Runner PID/start, session, lease and event prefix survived; one turn
submitted. Original execution succeeded and settled accounting. After
completion, B was killed and its native cache discarded; C was ready in
9,077.779 ms. C executed the saved project and returned correct
`queue_r`, with all four runs succeeded/accounted. However, native and
true provider-session identities changed: the unchanged retained oracle
fails. No whole-workflow pass is claimed. |
| Prior matched-producer Daytona | FAILED at exact `abed921e12`. The
matching current-source Runner passed normal admission, completed the
first task and settled its accounting. During the active revision, A was
SIGKILLed and its native cache discarded. Actual offline hold was
300,000.727 ms; B was ready at 308,304 ms and naturally claimed
generation 2 at 309,651 ms. At about 318 seconds, the remote process
check reported `process_not_running` for the original admitted Runner.
No authenticated after-receipt or retained follow-up passed. The current
failure is preserved; no automatic retry, lease/grace relaxation, debt
edit or provider replay is used. Bounded forensic read found preserved
exact-bound state with no recoverable failure, a transport-reset
diagnostic and no terminal delivery; this supports external process loss
without proving the exact cause. The sandbox had a five-minute auto-stop
policy, conflicting with the required surviving-sandbox assumption.
Owned cleanup precedes the separate corrected-fixture case. |

**Live retained-session boundary.** Prior completed run `3806…` and C
follow-up `8adf1df3-6744-40bf-b35d-100451f29d9f` both have database
session snapshots and `nativeControllerRecovery`. Their tool
fingerprint, provider configuration, workspace descriptor,
runtime-context digest, driver and work mode match. There is no recorded
force-fresh/workspace-selection change, and this is an ordinary task
rather than a conversation-generation reset. The same issue/agent
task-session row has `session_params_json: null` and `last_run_id: null`
from baseline time. Both native normalized UUID and actual provider
session/thread hashes differ after C. Full application admission
therefore did not select the retained source. No fallback to file
execution or relaxed identity comparison is accepted as proof of
continuity.

**Independent cleanup completed.** Full current-account provider
inventory confirms no resources owned by either final fixture, with
exact-ID absence checks. Owned controllers and campaign Postgres are
stopped/removed. EC2 `i-01551c09af098dde5` is terminated, its
delete-on-termination root volume returned `InvalidVolume.NotFound` at
22:14:08 UTC, and the temporary SSH key/agent were removed. The
canonical failed report and immutable oracle input are retained. Closed
qualification receipt SHA-256:
`b4b5fefce287ebfdbf2cc2238efaad62d8ad485aed0e9c0628ae95dbc18a8575`.

**Original measurement and grader repair remain separate.** The C reply
contains the requested marker followed by a newline and the correct
output. The old workflow waited for one literal space, so its normal
receipt collection stalled; that original attempt was closed and its
canonical `cleanup_failure`/interrupted result is preserved. Commit
`af9e2d157d` repairs only this reply predicate, with 144 focused cases,
E2E typecheck, discovery and diff checks passing. Ordinary string
matching stays literal. The corrected predicate accepts the saved reply,
but the unchanged retained-identity oracle still fails. Pure
active-recovery grading of the captured measurement passes 7/7; this is
not a rewritten passing campaign.

The sandbox idle-window conflict was corrected only for this explicit
fixture (15 minutes). Actual baseline and later sandbox metadata confirm
that policy; the original active box was disposed before a post-gate
policy read, so its 15-minute setting is established by the normal
create/environment configuration rather than an after-read of that box.
Production native lifecycle and the 60/300/420-second constants remain
unchanged.

The development compatibility reader A is a genuine backport commit
based on `59ff89a18fe1312b5f0bb908439bbdb1237b0252`, with the required
idle-goal reader fixes. It is not a previously published release. Its
older executor differs from B. The rollback floor must include this
reader capability. The source component cases admitted the Linux ARM64
Runner packaged at `59ff89a18fe1312b5f0bb908439bbdb1237b0252`; the
installed component case admitted the `5cf7aead` package. Their Runner
bytes are identical: SHA-256
`b1f04caa1ce04e720dec7eb62ede170eb3621948c0849b8f305ea5c5116bced8`. Each
admitted artifact remained unchanged throughout its case.

[Final public package
build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41121460635)
and [reader-floor
build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41122170506)
both passed all four daemon builds, package assembly and both Darwin
clean consumers. Both Linux ARM consumers failed before provider work
with the same existing local Codex permission-profile error: bubblewrap
attempts `activity.fifo/.git` and reports “Not a directory.” This
matched baseline failure remains open; it is not a native remote
continuity pass. Full post-run tree and build-stamp revalidation also
passed after the compiled native case. The installed component trees are
A `c29114c1bf71c5af00f761aeb9e3d84ed3d3075b9f5600dee3ef2543eb2b6ec5` and
B `eda575505373a3bdc630fa4919862b359791fe3a7ef637961a25b73b38efe4b0`.

**Controlled PostgreSQL qualification passed.**
Baseline/candidate/candidate/baseline workloads used 300 controllers,
10,000 historical tasks, real snapshot/encrypted PRP writes and
unchanged pools. PostgreSQL and client were each limited to two CPUs and
1536 MiB on an isolated eight-vCPU Linux host.

| Workload | PG CPU per operation | WAL per operation | Database request
p99 |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Steady | +1.18% | +1.81% | +1.91% |
| Aligned burst | +3.40% | +2.56% | +3.81% |
| Two logical servers | +3.11% | +2.56% | +9.68% |

All arms passed absolute/correctness gates with unchanged control
transaction counts, no dropped operations and no owner loss. Overlap p99
has little margin below the relative threshold. It uses two clients in
one Node process, not two HTTP servers. [Closed measurements and
limitations](doc/plans/2026-10-30-native-controller-qualification-evidence.json)
and exact-source reproduction patches are retained. [Earlier
contended-host
failures](doc/plans/2026-10-30-native-controller-load-evidence.json)
remain unchanged. The production DB-claim probe claimed 300 owners in
2.84 seconds and restored/committed controls and snapshots in 8.74
seconds, with zero owner loss or settled-idle SQL; its provider
references were synthetic. The measured checkpoint/snapshot/renewal
paths retain the same persistence behavior after integration; later
accounting and business writes have separate owners.

Actual Runner stream tests at `da8c7f6e1837ddd896dfe83a7524812fee813487`
passed 8/512/8,192 chunks: zero recovery SQL, transactions and changed
rows during text intervals; zero settled-idle SQL. Each retained seven
control transactions and twelve changed records. Existing renewal SQL
was measured separately. The guard/scheduler fixes add no stream path,
pool or recurring idle scan.

The live fixture used current-source producer SHA-256
`f0000c90cb83880191479da639201e659aa6ce0fc7d67c859faa172ec977849e`, a
normal locked exact-head build with pinned Rust 1.97.1 in Bookworm.
Actual network-isolated, read-only ABI execution passed (GLIBC
requirement 2.34 against runtime 2.36). The immutable base image
remained
`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:36069788f53c51f228764fa36180575443dfb5d1f84a342d7c0daceb28dc61cc`,
source `a0ef3ce7`. This was an unpublished development producer,
explicitly distinct from the base image and admitted before the fresh
fixture began. The earlier host build failed ABI preflight before
admission. The preceding old-producer fixture completed its initial task
but lacked the usage-basis marker required by current master; it
remained pending/unpriced and correctly paused. It was independently
cleaned without debt or budget changes. Two preceding local Linux setup
attempts OOM-killed before provider allocation, and their cleanup
passed. These attempts remain separate from the final recovery failure.

**Failures retained and resolved separately.** The earlier `98f05fc`
probe rejected a valid settled PRP v2 goal suffix; `eaef0d5` fixed that
reader and the fresh follow-up passed. Later component cleanup failures
were traced by a scoped exception observer to the fixture adapter
rejecting directory downloads. A bounded owned-directory transfer with
exact-byte/mode preflight corrected the fixture; source and installed
strict-cleanup cases then passed. No production guard was relaxed. The
initial local integrated control-port run hit its 30-second embedded
Postgres startup hook before executing 59 cases; 18 other focused cases
passed. A bounded rerun used a fresh owned external Postgres fixture,
applied normal migrations before Vitest, and passed all 59 cases with
the original timeouts unchanged. Its container and data were removed;
the failed attempt remains retained.

The additional opt-in full Product E2E Vitest run is not green: 5,313
passed, seven failed and three skipped. An actual `abed921e12` archive
with the same dependencies, Node and IPC permissions reproduces all
seven failures with the same reasons. Five are unchanged
workflow-policy/profile-pin assertions, including Pi profile version 37
versus the test pin 35. Two database suites failed during embedded
Postgres startup before their assertions; semaphore exhaustion is
confirmed in the observer log. The observer passes its supported
external-Postgres rerun with original timeouts and source unchanged. The
controller-database client-kill/postmaster assertions remain unexecuted
after `initdb` bootstrap failure; no external override is supported. The
unit launcher stopped before its Node-test phase, which was then run
independently and passed 181/181. The original failed full run is
preserved. These results remain distinct from the passing focused checks
and normal repository CI. The first local Product E2E typecheck also
encountered stale compiled Runner declarations; a genuine package-local
TypeScript compile refreshed them and the unchanged check passed,
without a dependency install or producer rebuild.

Earlier [Daytona campaign
41108162900](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41108162900)
failed at sandbox creation before any agent, with the underlying
provider error unavailable. Its [sanitized
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-41108162900-2/index.html)
remains a `cleanup_failure`. Both old creation names are absent in the
current authenticated account, but the old CI account identity was not
retained, so account equivalence is unproven. The subsequent exact
`eaef0d5` source Product E2E attempt passed image/agent setup and the
initial project, then held the controller offline for 300,003.7 ms. Its
Mac supervisor failed owned-process inspection before B readiness; no
adoption passed. Full current-company lease/label checks, provider
deletion, exact-ID 404s and complete inventory confirmed cleanup of that
attempt. Its local server and owned Postgres stopped. The prior AWS
campaigns and database qualification VM were terminated with root
volumes removed.

The old admitted test Runner lacks the newer usage-basis marker
introduced on master. The integrated component B turns retained
unpriced, incomplete accounting obligations with `costAccountingPending:
true` and no settled charge. The compatibility-reader A turn used its
legacy receipt interpretation but likewise retained pending accounting
and no settlement timestamp. This proves obligation preservation, not a
whole-run accounting migration. Runner/receiver release ordering remains
governed by the usage owner's contract.

At native implementation `abed921e12d543b62f57a56435419c0dafb0bc33`,
Greptile was 5/5 with zero unresolved threads and CI completed with 54
successful checks and five expected skips. At `0b6afc499f`, Greptile
again passed 5/5 with zero unresolved threads, but CI ended with 51
successful checks, five skips and three failures. Server 9/12 fails a
deterministic managed-skills maintenance assertion newly inherited from
master `198218bf` in merge `c80e00ad`; that test is absent from the PR
head, and the storage owner has the explicit-StorageService fix in
#18357. Runner 2/2 passed 2,283 unit cases but its runner received a
shutdown signal during the long stream probe; its cancelled step and
aggregate failure are preserved. No blind retry was used. Current
`af9e2d157d` checks are pending; the matcher-only change passes 144
focused cases and Product E2E typecheck. Earlier scheduling-sensitive CI
failures and the interrupted unsharded local test run remain recorded in
the dated plan. CI runs the repository's normal test partitions. Final
verification does not claim Railway rollout, uninterrupted HTTP service
or whole-webserver filesystem loss.

## Risks

- The task-pointer repair passes its assembled regression. The first
live repair exposed pre-acceptance ordering and the fresh review exposed
a replay lock-order issue; both are fixed and pass real Postgres tests
at `0862062`. The following live attempt exposed the
verified-running-versus-suspended preparation gate. Its narrow fix
passes 91 focused cases at `64c0b746`. The next live case exposed
synthetic attachment IDs; `7a203274` fixes that field selection and
passes real Runner authentication. The subsequent queued continuation
exposed strict retirement maintenance and a false default-home change;
`39a4343` fixes both with real Runner/Postgres and fingerprint
regressions. The `39a4343` live continuation failed again despite green
CI. `283e05ffaa` repairs the actual native-observed admission ordering
and reproduces/fixes the JSONB skill-order fingerprint drift. Both pass
targeted real-Postgres regressions and the live active plus queued
paths. The definition 6 post-C browser navigation timed out before
admission. Explicit definition 7 now verifies native continuation
through the ordinary comment API; its strict post-C native gate failed
after a real dispatch and remains historical failed evidence. The final
fc68584 repair now passes its fresh strict 49-check Linux/Daytona
campaign; the prior failed grades remain unchanged. Browser reconnection
is handed to its own workstream with the original failed evidence. No
prior failed campaign is reclassified as passing.
- Incorrect checkpoint/source binding or stale ownership could duplicate
external work. Missing evidence remains a hold; existing receipt and
finalization owners keep uncertain effects unresolved.
- Recovery must retain maintenance writes after accepted results without
allowing a stale business turn to write. Real lock-wait and generation
tests cover that boundary.
- The current two-connection paired burst profile fails its absolute
drain gate in both baseline and candidate, despite passing relative load
gates and all correctness checks. A causal capacity diagnostic selected
three slots; the final controlled cap-three profiles pass unchanged
thresholds. Full application replacement and two-server overlap capacity
remain separate. There is no new streaming writer, pool or recurring
idle scan.
- The remote sandbox and Runner must survive the recovery window.
Provider auto-stop is a separate lifetime bound from reconnect grace;
the explicit qualification fixture uses a longer idle window.
- Workspace and provider backup availability remain external
dependencies. This PR does not certify whole-webserver filesystem loss,
uninterrupted HTTP service or a Railway rollout.

## Model Used

Implementation and initial verification used OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex;
the initial hosted snapshot was not exposed. The follow-up qualification
used three OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` workers coordinated through Codex, with
repository tools, code execution, CI and scoped test infrastructure.
Context-window size is not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip 9f524ec1a7 fix: persist native Runner usage before transport acknowledgement (#18354)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent execution must preserve usage so Paperclip can price work and
enforce budgets.
> - Remote Runner execution can outlive its web receiver.
> - The receiver previously acknowledged Runner events before its later
usage recorder saved the accounting receipt.
> - This pull request saves required native usage receipts before that
transport acknowledgement.
> - A replacement receiver can accept the same retained report and
create one ledger charge.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Native remote Runner usage could leave its durable outbox before the web
receiver saved its accounting receipt. The later recorder required a
local receipt directory. A replacement web receiver could lose the only
remaining report when the database write failed.

**Expected behavior**

The Runner retains unaccepted structured usage. Postgres owns accepted
receipts. Repeated delivery preserves one receipt for each source report
and one charge for the run. Missing usage keeps accounting pending.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a supported built-in native remote Runner.
2. Make the receipt database insert fail after the provider reports
usage.
3. Replace the web receiver and its local directory.
4. Reconnect the same Runner and inspect the saved receipt and ledger.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The initial investigation used
`ebd05e9f4c88c66af7473db86bbaacfd1544aa0a`.

**Deployment mode**

A web server with a remote native Runner and shared Postgres.

Related work: #18327 owns output logs and provider traces. This change
has no dependency on its S3 export path. #18031 covers interrupted Codex
receipt recovery. #18005 covers legacy spool reads. #17516 covers Codex
stop-boundary retention.

## What Changed

- Add native producer receipt delivery through the existing Runner
callback before transport acknowledgement.
- Reuse `run_usage_receipts`, stable source sequences, and deterministic
report identities. Reject conflicting replay and retry a lost commit
response with the same receipt.
- Restore per-turn usage from structured receipt facts. Preserve
provider turns that share one PRP envelope turn.
- Bind retained warm transport callbacks to the current run authority
epoch, allowing old attachment control acknowledgements while preserving
accounting ownership.
- Persist Codex session baselines and cumulative totals in the existing
provider checkpoint. Mark qualified whole-run deltas, preserve them
across resume/restart/attachment, and leave old unmarked reports
incomplete and unpriced.
- Normalize the bounded final usage tail before the terminal event.
Retain later increases for explicit reconciliation, block further
attachment, and fail an affected successor without changing its
baseline.
- Complete runs from the accepted immutable receipt and its exact saved
rate-card amount; preserve existing live-budget enforcement.
- Skip the local receipt recorder for supported built-in native remote
Runner execution. Keep local, legacy, and external Dot/Muse behavior
unchanged.
- Keep pricing, reservations, ledger settlement, source fencing, and
budget holds with their existing owners.
- Put the actual Runner integration test in the existing Rust-cached
native test lane. Build before opening Postgres and give cold
compilation its own bounded budget.

## Verification

- Fresh Greptile review is 5/5 on
`e7376a50c8162770da1d581ecf25c8cffac64520`, with no unresolved findings.
Parent and independent peer review approved the final changes.
- Real PostgreSQL 18.6 and a real Rust Runner exercise failed receipt
insertion, receiver-directory loss, replay from the same producer, and
exactly one 25-cent ledger charge. The actual accounting spool path
stays absent. Optional logs/traces are disabled. The provider is
controlled; no paid request is made and the fixture never pre-saves the
expected receipt.
- Producer checks passed 32 usage/provider tests,37 terminal controls,
corrected completion, all 3 previously failing exit cases, and both full
transport goal-continuation cases. Rejected active-goal completion
retains its 120-token tail before failure. Baseline 100→successor150→33
duplicate old snapshots→old120 retains explicit incomplete
reconciliation evidence and positive budget exposure.
- Heartbeat executor checks passed 982/982. PostgreSQL tests preserve
exact 1.002 USD pricing, the 100.2-cent ledger amount, budget holds,
source takeover, partial/final receipts, cost-only corrections, equal
rate-card replay, and stale-completion interleaving. Newer incomplete
usage remains pending rather than settling an older snapshot.
- Runtime replay and strict usage-schema checks passed 2/2; generated
contracts and Rust formatting pass. Test-partition contracts passed
32/32.
- [Final combined-head
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18354#issuecomment-6531526158)
records full workspace typecheck/build and 41/41 accounting tests
against all five cloud PR heads, including this final accounting commit.
It includes commands and evidence limits.
- Exact-head CI is green: 53successful checks, 6intentional skips, and
the legacy Snyk status passed. Typecheck, build, Runner, server,
browser, and aggregate gates pass. Runner Vitest1/2 initially failed an
unchanged mocked Antigravity login fixture; its focused case passed
locally, then one unchanged job retry passed 131 files/1995 tests,
including all 11 Antigravity tests. The initial failed attempt remains
recorded in CI.

Initial local attempts exposed the host SysV semaphore limit and
corrected harness path, IPC readiness, and queue-counter defects. A
temporary test loader selected an existing POSIX-semaphore PostgreSQL
18.6 build without changing repository dependencies. An optional
expanded debug provider run was interrupted at its unrelated 8192-turn
rollover stress case; no full-file local pass is claimed. Required
failure cases were run directly, and the full Runner CI remains
required.

## Risks

- The guarantee covers built-in native remote Runner execution. Local
native execution, legacy adapters, external Dot/Muse execution, and
server-originated model calls retain their existing contracts.
- This does not provide traffic switching or general web-server
failover. The existing controller identity, checkpoint, and generation
gates still apply.
- The receipt JSON gains optional structured producer facts. No schema
migration or accounting S3 spool is added. Text output and raw trace
payloads are excluded.
- Codex accounting authority requires a Runner artifact built from this
provider baseline implementation and qualified by digest. Update
receivers and strict usage-schema readers before releasing that Runner;
PRP does not negotiate this payload field. Existing unmarked Codex
reports remain pending/unpriced. No deployed Runner artifact is claimed
fixed.
- Usage arriving beyond the bounded terminal tail may require manual
reconciliation or a fresh session. Its evidence remains in the existing
producer checkpoint/outbox; no adjustment ledger or recurring scan is
added.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` assisted with the implementation, tests, and
documentation through code execution and repository tools. The context
window size is unavailable.

DottaandPaperclip 6f278dd6d7 fix(runtime): settle recovery lease and connection lifecycles (#18167)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - A remote runner can survive a controller restart.
> - Recovery renews its execution lease during slow preparation.
> - The native executor then shares that renewal timer.
> - Preparation kept its reference until all finalization finished. A
tick after lease release treated completion as ownership loss and
detached the retained runner.
> - A Linux continuity test also found that buffered wire events could
arrive before their connection was registered. Cleanup then kept a
completed promise under an undefined key and never finished.
> - This pull request transfers renewal ownership after execution
acquires its reference. It also registers each connection before wire
callbacks can run.
> - Recovered turns can complete, retain the warm runner, and settle
connection cleanup.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A recovered remote run could complete, release its coordinator lease,
then detach during instruction collection. The next turn could find the
old runner still using the ingress port. Recovery then stopped because
it could not prove process ownership.

**Expected behavior**

Preparation keeps the lease alive until execution owns renewal.
Execution stops renewal before releasing the lease. Actual ownership
loss still detaches the runner. Buffered wire callbacks must use the
registered connection, and cleanup must finish.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Recover an in-flight remote runner after a controller restart.
2. Let the recovered turn complete.
3. Hold instruction collection open through the next lease renewal tick.
4. Send a follow-up that needs the retained runner.

Related: #17439 introduced remote controller recovery. #18011 preserves
checkpoint authority through warm preparation. This change fixes the
lifetime of preparation's renewal reference.

## What Changed

- Pass an internal lease-acquired callback from recovery through
heartbeat dispatch.
- Release preparation's renewal reference after the executor registers
its own. Keep final cleanup for exits before dispatch.
- Add a PostgreSQL regression for completion while finalization is still
pending. Cover callback forwarding, acquire-before-release ordering, and
failure before dispatch.
- Register the authority connection before subscribing to wire events.
Handle an immediate close before accepting buffered data.
- Add regressions for a message or close delivered during subscription.
- Extend Linux continuity coverage with preparation renewal and delayed
instruction collection after recovery.
- Update the continuity guide and session verification recipes.

## Verification

- The new recovery regression failed before the fix because renewal
detached the runner after lease release. The 76 recovery, renewal, and
dispatch tests then passed. The final ordering and early-exit checks
passed again after replacing fixed sleeps with controlled interval
ticks.
- Both buffered-wire regressions failed before the connection fix. All
170 control-plane tests passed afterward. Existing tests cover stale
authority, ownership loss, pending operations, and closed ingress.
- Linux ARM64 acceptance passed at
`a7daefacceb8bd994d0b79d284cdf54f3e3829d1`, with Node 24.19.0,
PostgreSQL, the real Rust runner, TLS ingress, and a deterministic Codex
protocol fixture. The test interrupted the first turn, recovered it,
held finalization open for a renewal interval, and completed two
follow-ups. It retained one provider process, three turns in one
history, and the same runner identity. Final suspension and connection
cleanup completed. The ordinary warm-reuse case also passed three turns
with one provider process.
- Earlier Linux attempts completed the turns but hung during cleanup. A
debugger found a fulfilled promise keyed by an undefined connection. The
regression reproduces that defect. One later setup attempt timed out
while staging an unstripped 373 MB debug binary. The passing run used
the same binary with debug symbols removed.
- Reproduce Linux acceptance with the `same-server` case in
`doc/testing-native-remote-continuity.md`.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, map validation, and `git diff
--check` passed at the final revision. The full local `pnpm test:run`
command was attempted, but the serial run had not finished after 13
minutes. It was stopped after the equivalent CI lanes passed. It is not
counted as a full local pass.
- Greptile and the Paperclip review both scored the final revision 5/5
with no findings. All Runner verification lanes passed. The first CI
attempt hit timing failures in voice recovery, agent YAML configuration,
and the task-title outage browser test. The full YAML and voice-recovery
files passed locally (88 and 19 tests). These paths were unchanged and
passed on the prior revision. All three passed on the single retry.
Final current-head status: 55 successful checks, one neutral check, and
two skipped Storybook checks. No pending or failed checks remain.
- Live Daytona/model acceptance and recovery of the hosted task remain
unverified. This PR does not deploy the change.

## Risks

- Releasing preparation before execution starts renewal could leave a
gap in authority. The callback runs after the executor registers its
reference.
- Preparation errors must not leak renewal. The recovery promise retains
idempotent final cleanup.
- Wire callbacks can run during subscription. Message and close
regressions check that registration is complete before either callback
runs.
- No schema, API, model, permission, lease duration, or retry policy
changes.

## Model Used

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

Nicky LeachandPaperclip a708a13336 Separate plugin workspace completion from maintenance inspection (#17329)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Storage plugins own remote task workspaces.
> - Run completion currently requests the same inspection used for
storage cleanup.
> - That inspection can fetch remote refs and scan files after the agent
has finished.
> - Completion needs retained workspace identity and durable writes, not
permission to delete files.
> - This change adds an optional completion operation and keeps
maintenance inspection separate.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A successful plugin-backed run can fail during completion because the
storage provider performs a slow remote-recoverability inspection. Dirty
or unpublished output does not need a deletion-safety proof to remain
valid task output.

**Expected behavior**

Completion verifies the assigned workspace and confirms durable writes
through the provider. Cleanup still requires the existing full
inspection.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run a task with plugin-owned storage whose inspection fetches remote
refs. Let the agent finish, then observe completion waiting for the
maintenance inspection.

Related context: #16428 added finalization observability. The duplicate
search found no existing PR for this provider contract.

## What Changed

- Add optional `workspaceProvider.finalizationVersion: 1` and strict
`finalize` / `finalized` schemas.
- Pass original run and agent context through live completion and
recovered completion.
- Give the new operation a 30-second deadline and keep ownership checks
and lifecycle serialization.
- Retain the inspection fallback for providers without the capability.
Keep maintenance inspection and removal unchanged.

## Verification

- SDK build passed.
- Targeted SDK and completion unit tests: 7 passed.
- Added integration coverage for capability selection, legacy fallback,
maintenance separation, and failure propagation.
- Local integration setup timed out starting PostgreSQL; the integration
suite passed in GitHub CI.
- Full build/typecheck and broader tests passed in GitHub CI (55
successful checks, 2 skipped). Local checks remained targeted as
requested.
- Diff reviewed for secrets and operational identifiers.

## Risks

The capability is opt-in. Providers must not advertise it until their
completion implementation is available. An unavailable provider or
failed durability barrier remains retryable. No schema or stored-binding
migration is required.

Test-file size exception: the provider integration suite grows from 973
to 1,002 lines. The 29-line case follows the same prepared binding
through legacy completion, opted-in completion, and maintenance
inspection using the existing single-connection database fixture.
Keeping it there avoids a second embedded-Postgres lifecycle for one
transition test. The completion helper unit tests are in a separate
focused file.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 Codex, with reasoning and code/test tools.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 00331e0254 Connect native Runner admission to plugin-owned workspaces (#16978)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work for AI agents.
> - A plugin can own an execution environment and its files.
> - #17029 supplies the task driver and bounded setup verification.
> - Heartbeat still prepares workspace files on Core and expects a shell
transport.
> - This PR gives the selected plugin ownership of workspace preparation
and native task execution.
> - Core keeps admission, tool authority, and recovery checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Heartbeat workspace admission and native Runner execution.

**Problem or motivation**

A task-only plugin cannot run through Core filesystem staging or shell
execution. Native admission and recovery must use the same lease and
workspace ownership.

**Proposed solution**

Use the task driver from #17029. Resolve workspace and project
identities without Core file operations. Connect native dispatch and
restart recovery to that driver.

**Alternatives considered**

Keep workspace admission and dispatch in one change. A workspace change
alone would leave dispatch on the previous transport. An execution
change alone would leave Core staging files for the wrong host.

## What Changed

- Enable plugin environment selection for native workspace sessions.
- Resolve workspace metadata and authorized project references without
Core checkout, copy, or provision operations.
- Preserve agent-default and primary workspace policies. Use the pinned
workspace provider for plugin-backed project storage. Reject unsupported
Core service commands and cross-owner reuse.
- Connect native execution to the prepared task driver. Keep assigned
MCP authority on Core.
- Save exact checkpoint identity, transfer selected account refreshes,
and require termination proof before replacement or cleanup.
- Complete managed plugin workspaces through their storage provider. Use
the same check after a restart. Keep branch validation and leave
task-owned files on the plugin.
- Include default instruction content in runtime synchronization when no
instruction directory exists.
- Defer new-agent Copilot verification until the saved-agent lifecycle
can acquire the agent-owned computer.

## Verification

- Rebased onto `origin/master` at `898144f4b3`. Master advanced once
during verification. Both manual conflicts joined import blocks: one in
`native-session-executor.ts`, and one in
`heartbeat/runtime-execution.ts`. The seven patches retain their logic.
The first rebased head passed repository typecheck, build, all 862
focused execution/finalizer cases, and all CI gates. The latest head
`93e5a72892` passes server typecheck and all 880 focused execution,
finalization, and execution-control notification tests. All 54 CI/review
checks pass, with two expected skips. Greptile ran automatically and
scored this head 5/5 with no unresolved findings. No new review or Apex
request was made for these import-only resolutions.
- The successful CI workflow initially left three stale job-check
reports. Targeted policy and summary reruns cleared the reports. No
source change or test fix was needed.
- Repository typecheck and build pass: `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm
build`.
- Focused native execution and restart tests pass: 795 cases. The
account and harness suites pass: 159 cases. Workspace admission passes:
48 cases. The SDK task lifecycle, workspace API, runtime-hook, and
instruction checks also pass.
- The heartbeat integration case uses the merged workspace provider
contract and reaches native dispatch with no project files on Core. The
new-agent case confirms that creation leaves the agent in `preparing`
until lifecycle verification.
- Map validation and the Copilot source-identity check pass. No Runner
implementation or source-identity bump is in this PR.
- The first rebased workspace run found two stale path assertions and a
recovery guard that did not recognize task-owned targets. These are
fixed. The storage integration fixture also needed its persisted source
binding; the production authorization check stays in place.
- Two prior review findings required rejection of Core service startup
and cross-owner workspace reuse. The existing admission fixtures now
check both failures. The installed-account authentication finding was
fixed in merged #17029.
- Tests reuse the current fixtures. No new provider test matrix or live
Runner process is added for these fixes.
- The prior head `2db273ec12` passed CI on its first attempt and reached
standard Greptile 5/5. Apex scored 4/5 and found local-folder checks
during plugin completion and recovery.
- The completion fix reproduces both failures. It passes all 110 cases
in the runtime execution, workspace finalizer, and workspace provider
integration suites. Server typecheck and map checks pass. CI passed on
`62d8335b4e` on its first attempt, and standard Greptile scored 5/5. The
next Apex review scored 4/5. It found that a failed plugin inspection
could abort restart recovery.
- The restart fix records a failed workspace receipt and uses the
current run retry policy. A regression first reproduced the aborted
pass. It now checks retry state, retained results, and completion of
another workspace in the same pass. All 68 finalizer cases and server
typecheck pass. CI passed on `7d4016323b` on its first attempt. Standard
Greptile and Apex both scored 5/5. Apex left one P2 about lost failure
codes.
- The diagnostic fix keeps the known branch and owner mismatch codes in
receipts and run recovery state. It gives repair guidance for those
codes and keeps unknown plugin errors generic. All 96 affected finalizer
cases and server typecheck pass. Before the rebase, required CI passed
on `c2fa61c6c8` on its first attempt. Standard Greptile and Apex both
scored 5/5 on that head, with no unresolved findings. The new head
retains these reviewed patches.
- The earlier Superagent scan on `c2fa61c6c8` was inconclusive after a
pinned merge-base checkout failed or timed out. The current scan on
`93e5a72892` passes.
- The exact rebased head passes all 48 workspace cases and server
typecheck. The first local test launch could not bind PostgreSQL inside
the sandbox. The authorized local-server run passed.
- The prior head reached standard Greptile 5/5. Its first CI run hit an
unchanged Runner cleanup timeout and an external build-runner shutdown.
Both jobs passed on the single retry. The timeout cause is not
established.
- A local regression check found that a retained Core workspace could
also enter a plugin task without file transfer. Core now rejects this
move before provider work. The existing ledger test covers both
directions and confirms that the source files stay intact.
- The first active standard review scored 4/5. It found that a fresh
plugin retry could enter Core Git preparation. This mode now uses the
existing unsupported-storage error before workspace resolution or
acquisition. Both unsupported-mode cases pass, and server typecheck
passes.
- No live Cloud or provider validation was run.

## Risks

- The prerequisite #17029 is merged. This PR targets master.
- Native plugin tasks support per-turn workspace sessions. Core service
commands and fresh retries that import retained files remain
unsupported. A workspace storage plugin can use the modes and strategies
it declares.
- Core-managed credentials support Codex and direct Claude accounts.
Other managed credential routes fail closed. Other harnesses can use an
installed account.
- A provider must preserve its prepared configuration and report process
termination correctly. Uncertain termination keeps the task pending
cleanup.
- Cloud deployment and live provider validation remain separate.

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. The exact model ID and context window are not
exposed in this session. Tool use includes code editing, local tests,

DottaandPaperclip 5a9e6b6315 fix(grok): avoid false file recovery after Stop (#16427)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Grok Bot uses a managed Runner and a fixed external work session.
> - Its admitted contract gives it no access to Paperclip workspace
files.
> - The Runner still has a sync descriptor to support durable recovery.
> - Cancellation treated that descriptor as proof that files needed
repair.
> - This pull request uses the admitted access contract while preserving
ownership settlement.
> - Users get the correct recovery action after Stop, with native file
safeguards intact.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16219 and #16422. The duplicate search found no open Grok
workspace correction.

**What happened?**

A real Grok Stop test cancelled its run, fenced its assignment, denied a
stale progress update and cleaned up the sandbox. Paperclip also created
a file-repair hold. The recovery panel told the user to recover
workspace files, although the admitted external contract has workspace
access set to none.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the stopped session fenced and require inspection before new work.
Keep failed-run ownership settlement. Do not invent a file export
obligation for a session that cannot access the workspace. Native
sessions with writable or unknown workspace access must keep their file
safeguards.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Connect a Grok Bot and assign a task.
2. Let it accept the task and save a Paperclip checkpoint document.
3. Use Stop while it is working.
4. Inspect the task recovery panel. It asks for file repair after
sandbox cleanup succeeds.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on Core 11d69d04c7 through the
actual Grok client. Reproduced against master with database-backed
regressions.

## What Changed

- Match the admitted native input to its run, company, agent, task and
external driver before treating workspace access as disabled.
- Keep coordinator ownership checks and failure settlement. Skip file
retention and the false file-repair obligation for that exact contract.
- Add inspection-only settlement for old Grok file holds through Runtime
recovery. Verify exact run ownership, fenced assignments, terminal
coordinators and managed lease stop receipts. Archive the false file
evidence and preserve no-replay.
- Keep historical Dot recovery controls. Do not claim global
external-provider termination.
- Fix the later dispatch-failure owner so it cannot retain a
no-workspace external sandbox for a false file obligation.
- Cover both Grok and Dot, mismatched access evidence, native file
recovery and the assembled heartbeat cleanup path.
- Update the Grok guide and the existing release evidence plan.

## Verification

- Four database regressions fail before the correction.
- 68 file-recovery and cancellation checks pass. Grok, Dot and the
shared recovery notice pass 98 checks. The assembled heartbeat selection
passes both cases; 404 unrelated cases were not selected in that local
command.
- The lifecycle regression caught an unsafe early-return prototype. The
final code keeps coordinator settlement for both workspace cases. A
separate assertion was corrected for the run-state projection's explicit
nulls. The failed attempts remain in the private evidence record.
- Repository typecheck and build, token gates and Storybook build pass.
The branch was rebased from ea4aa185b0
onto 7420af26fc, whose additional change
affects CI profile exports. The core recovery checks are repeated after
rebase.
- On the earlier deployed source, a real 824-second task survived an
actual same-image controller restart with its original run, assignment,
process and lease. It completed canonically and cleaned up without an
extra wake. The active Stop test denied a real stale update and
completed connection inspection and authenticated re-verification. These
results establish the observed baseline and defect; they do not qualify
this patch's deployed behavior.
- Review found two valid gaps: the old file obligation still blocked
fresh input, and dispatch failure could request retention earlier. Both
are corrected. The follow-up passes 128 focused tests and server
typecheck. The recovery test proves fresh user continuation after
inspection, authenticated re-verification, and managed Runner cleanup
while the old assignment stays fenced.
- A second review found a partial-transaction gap. Routine readiness now
commits as invalid before task holds retire. All 43 Grok routine tests
pass, including a held task lock and an unrelated active assignment.
- Repository typecheck and build pass after the first review
corrections; final server typecheck also passes. The full local suite is
still running and is not claimed as passed. The first follow-up CI timed
out at 15 seconds in one unchanged run-history case; all 91 cases pass
locally. The cause is unproven.
- The final head, 33e4361911, passes 54
checks plus one successful status context. Two optional Storybook jobs
are skipped. Greptile reviewed that exact head at 5/5 with no unresolved
threads. All source CI suites pass on this final head without retry. The
earlier runner-shutdown and timeout attempts remain recorded.
- An actual deployed historical recovery and fresh Stop repeat are still
required.

## Risks

An incomplete or mismatched contract must retain file safeguards. The
change uses stored admission evidence rather than current agent
configuration. Historical records stay auditable and do not gain
automatic replay or a generic Retry action. Operator inspection and a
fresh authenticated verification remain required before new Grok work.
Global Grok termination remains unconfirmed. No schema migration is
needed.

DottaandPaperclip 57fa6b358d fix(observability): separate workspace finalization and copyback spans (#16428)
Give native workspace finalization its own span name. Keep copyback and commit as separate child measurements, with an exported-span regression that preserves the workspace operation result.

Validation: 40 runtime/tracing tests and server typecheck passed locally. Final-head CI, E2E and security checks passed. Apex review: 5/5, zero findings and no unresolved threads.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 79c34058cd fix(native): retain unexported workspaces after execution failure (#16397)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native agents can edit files in a remote sandbox before they submit
a result.
> - A process identity or startup failure can end the run before file
export.
> - Cleanup can then delete the sandbox and its unpublished files.
> - This pull request retains the exact source and records a file repair
action before cleanup.
> - Operators can recover the files without replaying the failed turn or
changing the task owner.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A native remote process had completed local edits when process identity
recovery failed. The run still had a prepared workspace reference and no
accepted result. Cleanup deleted the source sandbox. No file recovery
card appeared. A restarted run can hit the same path during setup,
before the native executor starts.

**Expected behavior**
Retain the exact unexported source. Show the existing file recovery
card. Require source stop and file recovery evidence. Keep task
ownership, status, and external action reconciliation separate from file
repair.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a native agent in a remote ephemeral workspace and make
unpublished edits.
2. Fail process identity recovery before result acceptance or file
export.
3. Allow failure handling and lease cleanup to run.
4. Before this change, cleanup can destroy the source without a file
repair action.

Refs: #16341 for related process identity diagnostics. Refs: #16349 for
startup ownership fencing. This change addresses file retention after
failure.

## What Changed

- Record source retention and a file recovery action in the terminal
native failure transaction.
- Cover restarted preparation failures before the terminal setup writer
and cleanup run.
- Require the exact company, run, lease, provider allocation, and
workspace binding. Require the exact live recovery claim to settle an
owned preparation failure. Refuse stale or competing claims.
- Reuse the existing stop-only cleanup and file-only reconciliation
path. Leave accepted results and scheduled same-run recovery on their
existing paths.
- Document the retention rule and add database and runtime boundary
regressions.

## Verification

- All 1,242 tests passed across the full heartbeat recovery suite,
native executor, native source retention, runtime teardown, run
completion, and legacy file recovery.
- The integrated missing-descriptor regression fails before the
inner-handler fix and passes after it. The runtime retention and owned
restart regressions also reproduce their prior failures.
- The tests cover exact source identity, current and stale claims,
atomic rollback, cancellation, idempotence, and file-only repair on a
completed task.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed on the final code.
- `pnpm build` passed on the final code.
- Full repository CI passed on
`3945eb2ba5c228c5d4992da02b765dcf2e634cb8`: 54 successful checks and two
skipped Storybook checks.
- Apex scored 5/5 on that exact commit. Both earlier findings are fixed
and all review threads are resolved.
- The unsharded local `pnpm test:run` is still in progress. It is not
counted as a local full-suite pass; complete suite coverage is verified
in CI.

## Risks

- Failed runs can retain a sandbox that needs operator cleanup after
file recovery. This uses the existing retention policy and recovery
controls.
- This does not recover files from allocations that were already
deleted.
- No schema migration, UI change, or telemetry change is required.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. Tool use, code execution, and reasoning
assisted this change. The environment identifies the model as GPT-6; it
does not expose a more specific serving snapshot or context window size.

cafa25029c fix(native-runtime): recover unclaimed remote startup (#16349)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runtime preserves task execution across server restarts.
> - Remote workspace preparation can finish before the executor claims
its first provider attempt.
> - The recovery classifier required a provider checkpoint even when the
durable coordinator proved that execution had never started.
> - A deployment during this interval therefore left safe startup work
on a permanent recovery hold.
> - This pull request admits that narrow startup state to the existing
same-run bootstrap path. Existing execution and ownership checks remain
in force.
> - The original preparation yields when recovery owns the coordinator.
It cannot fail or clean up the recovered run.
> - Tasks can continue after this interruption without an operator retry
or a duplicate provider turn.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A server deployment interrupted a prepared remote workspace before the
native executor's first claim. The coordinator had attempt zero,
controller generation zero, and no owner, process, provider event, or
checkpoint. Restart classification returned
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence` and blocked the task.

**Expected behavior**

The server should recognize this durable never-claimed state and
continue the original run through normal execution admission. A prior
claim, uncertain ownership, or contradictory execution evidence must
retain the recovery hold.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Prepare a remote workspace for a native run.
2. Stop the controller before the executor commits its first claim.
3. Restart the controller and classify the running native task.
4. Observe that the old classifier blocks it because no provider
checkpoint exists.

Related: #16341 preserves remote recovery failure reasons. #16344
strengthens remote restart qualification. Neither changes admission for
an untouched remote startup.

## What Changed

- Require a server-owned fencing version written only with fresh native
identities. Older unmarked preparations stay held during rolling
upgrades; caller profile data cannot add that marker to an existing run.
- Leave the current server's active preparation with its existing
execution.
- Yield through the controller-detachment path when a different
execution owns the coordinator lease. Lease expiry does not grant
takeover authority.
- Preserve run-scoped gateway tokens during detachment so stale
preparation cannot revoke the recovered worker's tools.
- Admit a valid prepared remote workspace only when the locked
coordinator proves attempt and controller generation zero, no owner, and
no prior session or execution evidence.
- Check launch receipts and provider source events before granting
bootstrap recovery.
- Keep the original run and session. Preserve atomic recovery claims,
executor durable-state checks, and normal admission gates.
- Add real PostgreSQL regression tests for competing controllers and
seven contradictory evidence cases.
- Update recovery documentation, the run-log reason, and both capability
maps.

## Verification

- The competing-controller regressions failed before the ownership fix
and pass for both live and expired foreign leases.
- On the final revision, 77 runtime-selection, restart recovery, real
PostgreSQL, and heartbeat boundary tests pass with no skips, including
all local runner process fixtures. The full native executor file passes
all 698 tests.
- Another 91 live-run route tests pass locally. An earlier CI timeout in
that unrelated file passed on retry; the complete final-head CI passed
without that failure.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`, and
`git diff --check`: passed locally. The map check verifies structure
only.
- Local `pnpm test:run` did not finish: an early attempt had
build-related collection failures, and later full-suite execution was
stopped after complete CI passed. Targeted suites passed after build
preparation. This is not a local full-suite pass.
- The complete [PR
workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38669996667)
passed on `2baffb3652bfeb4705a30ca3706fbda6c3d72aa4`, including all test
shards, build/typecheck, runner verification, and browser E2E. All 55
applicable review/security/CI checks succeeded; two Storybook checks
were skipped.
- [Greptile
Apex](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/16349#issuecomment-6180848957):
5/5 on the same final head, with no unresolved findings.
- No live remote provider restart is claimed by the database regression.

## Risks

- A bare executor can no longer take a foreign coordinator lease after
expiry. A verified recovery claim must transfer authority first.
- Existing preparations without the server-owned fencing marker retain
their recovery hold during rolling upgrades.
- Incorrect admission could duplicate provider work. This path requires
a positive durable never-claimed receipt, rejects contradictory launch
evidence, and keeps the executor's existing durable-root verification.
- Previously claimed or incomplete remote recovery evidence remains
blocked. This change does not clear historical terminal holds.
- No schema, API, dependency, or UI changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, tool use, code execution,
and browser inspection. The exact serving snapshot ID and context window
size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 1fb3f9746e refactor(heartbeat): extract prepared runtime execution (#15803)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Heartbeat prepares, dispatches, and completes each agent run.
> - After the runtime-selection extraction, the main service still had
7,295 lines.
> - Provider dispatch and workspace finalization formed one large block
with shared cleanup rules.
> - This pull request moves that block into a typed runtime-execution
module.
> - The service now has 6,417 lines. Readers can follow admission and
outer cleanup without reading the provider execution details.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Follow-up to #15746. I searched open heartbeat PRs and issues. I found
no competing runtime-execution extraction.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The organization and test coverage of native and legacy heartbeat
execution.

**Current behavior**

The heartbeat service contains a 912-line block for provider dispatch,
usage capture, workspace finalization, and instruction cleanup.

**Proposed behavior**

Move that block to `server/src/services/heartbeat/runtime-execution.ts`.
Keep the atomic dispatch gate, admission, terminal run status, and outer
lease cleanup in the service. Preserve run behavior.

**Reason and benefit**

This gives runtime execution a named boundary and direct tests. It
removes 878 lines from the main service in one bounded change.

**Breaking changes**

None intended. There are no schema, API, or policy changes.

## What Changed

- Add `executeHeartbeatRuntime` for prepared native and legacy
execution, usage capture, workspace finalization, and
gateway/instruction cleanup.
- Return an explicit dispatch result. Update outer ownership state
through immediate callbacks, including before exceptions. Read
instruction state through live getters.
- Move the two internal recovery error classes with their existing
behavior. The caller imports the same classes for `instanceof` checks.
- Add 15 database-backed execution tests. Keep the existing heartbeat
regression suites.
- Repair the native Stop acceptance fixture: installed Codex now takes
precedence over `PATH`. A test-only loader pins the fake provider. An
isolated home and dummy key keep readiness offline. Add four loader
tests.
- Document the module boundary and fixture setup.

## Verification

- Passed: eight focused heartbeat suites (483 distinct tests, including
15 new execution tests). The boundary suite passed again after adding
the failed-restore retention case from review.
- Passed: `node --test
tests/e2e/fixtures/composer-stop-codex-loader.test.mjs` (four tests).
- Passed: `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`.
- Passed: AST comparison of all 912 moved lines after the explicit
boundary substitutions. SQL template text, recovery class bodies, public
exports, and the rest of the executor match the baseline.
- Passed: browser Stop journeys for legacy process and native Paperclip
Runner (two tests). The native fixture log proves provider `turn/start`
before Stop and `turn/interrupt` after Stop.
- Passed: all three ACP continuation browser journeys (same-session
queued input, no replay of an interrupted write, and a new direction
after composer Stop). Five relevant browser journeys passed in total.
- Passed: the full CI test groups, including all server, chat,
workspace, serialized-server, runner, and browser shards.
- Local full-suite limitation: `pnpm test:run` first hit the macOS
shared-memory segment limit while starting embedded PostgreSQL. After
releasing only this task’s unused acceptance-server segments, the retry
progressed without reported failures. I stopped that duplicate run after
the full CI test groups passed.

- Passed: all 56 PR checks/statuses on
`8694c116e8d43ed8ac11bc4c58623ea3af34a675`. Greptile is 5/5 with no
unresolved review threads.

## Risks

- Cleanup depends on state written before an error. The module reports
dispatch, retention, and recovery ownership immediately. Tests cover
early returns and exceptional cleanup.
- Instruction callbacks can replace saved metadata during execution.
Live getters preserve those changes.
- Native acceptance uses a real server, database, browser, and Rust
runner with a deterministic provider. It does not verify a live provider
service.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning and repository/tool access.
The exact serving model ID and context-window limit were not exposed in
this session.
