DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 088bdf7cfa fix(daytona): wait out a sandbox state change before starting it for workspace realize (#20212)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - On Daytona, every run realizes its workspace in the leased sandbox.
Realizing it first makes sure the sandbox is started
> - Right after a control-plane restart, the sandbox can still be
mid-transition, for example stopping or starting from the previous
lifecycle step
> - The plugin called `sandbox.start` straight away. Daytona rejects
that with "Sandbox state change in progress", so the run failed
`setup_failed` and needed a Retry
> - This pull request waits out a sandbox's state change before starting
it, and retries a start the provider rejected for that reason, within
the existing start deadline
> - The benefit is that a run whose sandbox is briefly transitioning
starts on its own

**What happened?**
Daytona per-turn restart-chaos K13 storm w-20261109T074128-s9503
(revision 9046884811), t07 (claude A1): run `5aabeb55` failed at
07:45:27 with `setup_failed` and "Failed to realize workspace for
environment … (sandbox): Sandbox state change in progress". The sandbox
was mid-transition after the restart, and realize neither waited nor
retried. A Retry succeeded.

**Expected behavior**
Realize waits for a transitional sandbox state to settle, then starts
the sandbox. If the provider still reports the state change, it retries,
all within the existing start deadline. Any other start error fails at
once, and a transition that outlasts the deadline still fails.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Realize a workspace while the Daytona sandbox is `stopping` or
`starting`, or while `start` returns "Sandbox state change in progress".
2. Before this change, realize fails at once with that error.

**Paperclip version or commit**
9046884811 (wave). Branch rebased on current master.

## What Changed

- `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/src/plugin.ts`:
`ensureSandboxStarted` now polls `refreshData` while the sandbox is in a
transitional state.
- The transitional states are `starting`, `stopping`, `restoring`,
`archiving`, `creating`, `pending_build`, `pulling_snapshot`,
`building_snapshot` and `resizing`.
- It polls every second, until the start deadline from `timeoutMs`. Each
read keeps the existing liveness bound.
- If the start fails with "state change in progress", it refreshes and
tries again, within the same deadline.
- The wait, every retry and the start share one deadline. Each read is
bounded by the time left, and the start receives only the remaining
seconds.
- As soon as any state other than `started` is observed, the lease's
stored session is dropped before waiting, so a restart that happened
outside the plugin never reuses a dead session.
  - Starting a settled sandbox (`startSettledSandbox`) is unchanged.
- `plugin.test.ts`:
  - realize waits for a stopping sandbox, then starts it;
  - realize retries a start that was rejected for a state change;
  - realize gives up once the transition outlasts the deadline;
  - another start error fails at once;
  - the start receives only the budget the wait left;
- a restart outside the plugin that the wait sees through opens a fresh
session.
  - The tests stub the API key with `vi.stubEnv`.

## Verification

- Red/green: on master, the wait and the retry cases fail with "Sandbox
state change in progress". With the change they pass, and the deadline
and other-error cases hold.
- `vitest run` in `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona`: 14
files, 614 tests passed (8 skipped).
- `tsc --noEmit` for the Daytona plugin package: passed.

## Risks

- Low risk. The wait is bounded by the start deadline the plugin already
used. Only transitional states and the provider's state-change rejection
are waited out, and every other error behaves as before.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), via Claude Code with tool use
(shell, file edits, test execution).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 9c18cf61da fix(runner): keep discarded OpenCode token deltas from delaying tool calls (#20209)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native OpenCode runs use a TypeScript app-server proxy between
OpenCode and runnerd
> - runnerd reads the proxy's frames in order, only after the controller
acknowledges earlier events
> - For each frame, runnerd rewrites its whole durable provider state
with fsync, including every tool result that the turn retains
> - The proxy sent one `item/delta` frame for each reasoning or
tool-output token, and runnerd discards `item/delta`
> - A Paperclip tool call request therefore waited behind hundreds of
discarded frames, and the wait grew with each tool result in the turn
> - This pull request stops the proxy from sending the token deltas that
runnerd does not consume
> - The benefit is that tool calls reach runnerd without that queue, so
agent turns finish faster

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened**

In the chat eval `plugins.configure-plugin` (runner-opencode,
deepseek-v4.1-flash, GitHub Actions run 42574640038),
`paperclip_search_api` calls in one turn slowed from about 1.4 s to 9-15
s each. The server handled every call in 50-250 ms (`tool.execution`
spans). For one `call_api` call, 6.3 s passed between the server's 403
and the next agent activity. Time to first token was about 4.4 s.

The run events show the cause. Events that OpenCode streams reach
runnerd in bursts. In one burst, the usage events for three different
model requests arrived within 0.5 s, which no model can do. Each burst
ends with the next tool call request. 143 of 203 recorded
runner-opencode runs that we checked show such bursts, and 108 show a
gap of 8 s or more. Many chat eval cases that time out use this runner.

The mechanism:

1. OpenCode streams reasoning one token at a time. The proxy forwarded
each token as its own `item/delta` frame.
2. runnerd reads proxy frames in order and only after the controller
acknowledges earlier events. For each frame it calls `save_state`. That
serializes the whole provider state, with the tool results retained in
the turn, and fsyncs it.
3. runnerd's Codex facade has no mapping for `item/delta`, so it
discards the frame after the save.
4. A tool call request is one more frame in the same ordered stream. It
waits until runnerd works through every earlier delta frame. The wait is
about (reasoning tokens) x (save cost), and the save cost grows with
each retained tool result.

**Expected behavior**

A Paperclip tool call reaches runnerd soon after OpenCode makes it. Its
delay does not grow with the reasoning length or with the number of
earlier tool calls in the turn.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a native OpenCode chat turn with a reasoning model that makes
many sequential Paperclip tool calls, for example `search_api`.
2. Compare each tool's `item.completed` tool_result time with the
`tool.execution.completed` time and with the next `item.started`
tool_use time in the run events.
3. See that the gap grows during the turn, and that events for several
model requests arrive within less than one second.
4. For a local model of the mechanism: run the pinned OpenCode binary
with a controlled OpenAI-compatible provider that streams 300 reasoning
tokens before each tool call. Pass the driver events through the proxy's
mapping and batching into a reader that consumes one frame at a time
with a save cost that grows by 4 ms per completed tool result. Before
this change, 8 sequential calls waited 1.7, 3.1, 4.2, 5.4, 6.7, 7.9, 9.2
and 10.5 s behind 142-261 queued frames. After this change, they waited
64-93 ms behind 0 frames.

## What Changed

- `shouldForwardOpenCodeProxyItem` now takes the event type and payload.
For `item.delta`, it forwards only assistant text (`agentMessage` or
`text`), which runnerd maps to `item/agentMessage/delta`.
- The proxy keeps reasoning and tool-output token deltas. Completed
reasoning and tool items still go to runnerd as `item/completed`. Tool
progress still goes as `item/updated`.
- New regression test: a step with 1,000 streamed reasoning and
tool-output tokens puts the same number of frames before the tool call
request as a step with 1 token, and no `item/delta` frame is written.
- New test: assistant text deltas are still forwarded. Completed
reasoning items are still forwarded.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run src/cli/opencode-proxy-events.test.ts
src/cli/opencode-proxy-output.test.ts` in `packages/paperclip-runner`:
15 passed.
- Red/green: with the predicate change reverted, the two new tests fail.
With the change, they pass.
- `tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.test.json` in `packages/paperclip-runner`
has no errors in the changed files. Local errors exist only in
`src/eval/workflow-harness.ts`, which needs a built
`@paperclipai/paperclip-eval-kernel`.
- Local before/after measurement with the real pinned OpenCode binary
(`opencode-ai@1.18.34`), described in Steps to reproduce, step 4.
- Not run locally: the suites that need the `paperclip-runnerd` debug
binary or the bundled provider entrypoints
(`runnerd-opencode-streaming-tools`, `runnerd-codex-transport`,
`opencode-proxy-thread-read`). They fail the same way on the unchanged
base in this worktree because those build outputs are missing. CI covers
them.

## Risks

- Low risk. The changed frames were discarded by runnerd. No persisted
state shape changes, so no previous-release story is needed.
- If runnerd later maps a reasoning delta method, the proxy must forward
it with batching, as it does for assistant text. The test names this
boundary.
- This change does not change the per-frame durable save in runnerd.
Mapped frames (assistant text, tool items) still pay it. A runnerd
change that skips the save when a notification changes no state would
protect other proxies too. That is a separate change.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 42bc238aa5 fix(runner): keep a restart continuation when the lost turn's terminal is delivered again (#20196)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When a restart loses a native run's active turn, the run records it
as `provider_turn_lost_on_restore` and continues in a same-conversation
continuation turn
> - #20118 taught the event consumer to skip a stale restart-lost
terminal of another turn once a continuation is running. It applied only
when the checkpoint already recorded the interruption
> - When the checkpoint instead names the lost turn as active (the drain
hit right after the first turn was submitted), the consumer starts the
continuation on the first lost terminal. If the same lost terminal is
then delivered again, it was taken as the run's terminal and failed the
run
> - This pull request applies the skip to any recovered run once its
continuation has started. For a checkpointed interruption it still waits
for the startup decision first
> - The benefit is that a turn lost on restore always continues, however
often its lost terminal is delivered

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20118

**What happened?**
Local restart-chaos K13 regression storm w-20261109T055902-s9402 (master
9b71d03215): 94 of 95 passed. In t90 (claude M1 parent), run `e5eab3cb`:
1. The run submitted its first turn at 06:28:25, and a graceful drain
followed at 06:28:28.
2. After restore at 06:28:41, the ACPX runner replayed the turn's accept
and start, then reported `turn_lab_1abbeca2…` as
`provider_turn_lost_on_restore`.
3. The controller started continuation `turn_lab_a3d009c6…`; the saved
checkpoint names it as the active turn.
4. The run failed at 06:28:45 with `native_provider_terminal_failed: The
runner restored the conversation after process loss, but the previous
turn is no longer active.` and needed a Retry.

**Expected behavior**
Once the continuation is running, a later delivery of the lost turn's
terminal is history, not the run's terminal. The run finishes on the
continuation.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Recover a run whose checkpoint names the interrupted turn as active
(not yet recorded as terminal).
2. Deliver that turn's restart-lost terminal, which starts the
continuation, then deliver it again before the continuation completes.
3. Before this change, the second delivery ends the run as failed.

**Paperclip version or commit**
9b71d03215 (wave). Branch rebased on current master.

## What Changed

- `native-session-runtime.ts`: `supersededByRestartContinuation` applies
to every recovered run.
- Once a continuation has started, a restart-lost `turn.failed` for any
turn other than that continuation keeps the consumer going.
- With a checkpointed interruption, it still waits for the startup
decision first. Before this change it excluded the checkpointed
interrupted turn itself, which could also end a run if that turn's
replayed terminal arrived before the startup continuation began.
- `native-session-runtime.test.ts`:
  - a lost terminal delivered again after the continuation starts;
- the checkpointed interrupted turn's own terminal arriving before the
continuation starts.

## Verification

- Red/green: both new cases fail on master (the run ends failed or on
the stale terminal) and pass with the change. The #20118 cases still
pass.
- `vitest run` over the runner restart, recovery, continuation and
terminal test files: 9 files, 389 tests passed.
- `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm run typecheck:typescript`
(`packages/paperclip-runner`): passed.

## Risks

- Low risk. The skip still requires a recovered run, a recoverable
`provider_turn_lost_on_restore` failure, a continuation that actually
started, and a terminal for a different turn than that continuation. A
loss of the continuation itself, real provider failures, and runs that
started no continuation keep their current handling.

## Model Used

(shell, file edits, test execution).

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 9046884811 perf(native-runtime): claim a parked Runner while the follow-up run prepares (#20195)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip Runner executes native agent runs. A host can park an idle
Runner (release it and freeze it) between runs, and resume it for the
next run on the same task.
> - A follow-up run that reuses a parked Runner must claim it first. The
claim is a bootstrap ticket, a checkpoint flush, and the plugin resume
that thaws the Runner.
> - Core made the claim only inside `attachRun`, after all of its
per-run preparation. The claim does not depend on that preparation, so
the two ran in series.
> - This pull request starts the claim while Core still prepares the
run. `attachRun` then waits for the claim that is already in progress.
> - The benefit is a shorter start for every follow-up run on a parked
Runner. The model below gives about 285 ms per run at P50.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. The issue is described inline.

**What happened?**

A follow-up run that reuses a parked Runner claims the Runner only in
`attachRun`. Core calls `attachRun` after backend setup: runner
environment, assigned MCP tools, tool authority and the plugin task
owner. The claim waits for all of this, but it uses none of it.

**Expected behavior**

The claim runs at the same time as backend setup. Everything that needs
the new run's tool authority stays at attach.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a Codex or Claude task on a host that parks Runners between runs.
2. Let the run finish and the Runner park.
3. Send a follow-up. Before this change, the plugin resume starts only
after backend setup ends.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at 7086019d4b.

**Deployment mode**

Hosted, with parked Runner tasks.

## What Changed

- **Transport** (`runnerd-codex-transport.ts`):
- New `beginRunAttachment({ runId })`. It runs the attach admission
checks, then starts the existing `#claimReleasedRunner` as the held
attachment operation. It returns `false` and does nothing when the
Runner is not released and confirmed, a claim already exists, or
admission fails.
- The admission checks move into `#assertRunAttachmentAdmission`.
`beginRunAttachment` runs them first, and `attachRun` runs them again.
- The next `attachRun` for the same run waits for the early claim. An
`attachRun` for a different run, `release` and `turn/start` still fail
with `native_runner_run_attachment_in_progress` while the claim is held.
- After an early claim, `attachRun` fails with
`native_runner_resume_reconciliation_expired` before it registers if the
claim deadline has passed.
- **Pass-throughs:** `HarnessNativeSession`, `CodexHarnessSession` and
the session, harness and transport contracts get an optional
`beginRunAttachment`. Each layer does the same identity,
protocol-integrity and busy checks that its attach does.
- **Core** (`native-session-executor.ts`):
- The executor records when the in-memory warm entry it reuses was
parked (`released`).
- `createRunnerdBackend` gets `beginRetainedRunAttachment`. Core gives
it only for that parked in-memory warm entry.
- The plugin task owner preparation moves into `preparePluginTaskOwner`.
On the early path, Core prepares and rebinds the retained owner at the
same time as the runner environment and the assigned MCP tools, then
starts the claim.
- Cold, adopted, remote warm recovery and restart paths keep the old
order.

### What stays at attach, and why

- Registration, the quiescence probe, `run.attach` and the authority
rotation stay in `attachRun`. Checkpoint registration needs the new
run's tool authority epoch, and Core creates that epoch during backend
setup.
- The admission checks run again at attach, so a state change during
preparation still blocks the attachment.

## Verification

- `vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-release-resume.test.ts`
(runner): 21 passed. Five new modes:
- `early claim`: `attachRun` waits for the held claim and does not route
the new run before the claim ends;
- `early claim abandoned`: a close after the claim ends fails the
waiting `attachRun` with `closed`, and the new run is never routed;
- `early claim cancellation`: a close during the claim cancels it, and
the next `attachRun` fails with `closed`;
- `early claim expired`: the deadline passes during the claim, and
attach fails before it registers;
- `early claim stale ticket`: the deadline passes after the claim,
before attach.
- `vitest run plugin-runner-release-resume.integration.test.ts
plugin-runner-eviction.integration.test.ts` (server, with real Runner
processes from `cargo build --workspace --bins`): 2 files, 51 passed,
none skipped. New modes:
- `cached held claim` (Codex and Claude): the plugin resume is held, and
the test proves Core's tool preparation runs while the claim is in
progress;
- `cached cancellation` (Codex): a cancellation after an early claim
retires the Runner and the run stops cleanly.
- `pnpm run typecheck:typescript` (runner) and `pnpm typecheck`
(server): pass.
- Evidence (modeled, not measured live): traces of 8 resumed runs on
parked Runners in a hosted test deployment, on current `master`. The
claim takes about 300 ms, and it fits inside backend setup in 7 of 8
runs. The modeled saving is about 285 ms per follow-up on a parked
Runner at P50 (range 208–331 ms). I did not run this change on a hosted
deployment.
- Not run: the full server suite (CI runs it), smoke tests, and the
hosted park, claim and attach loop with this change.

## Risks

- **New failure mode:** Core now claims the parked Runner before backend
setup ends. If that run then fails preparation, or is cancelled before
attach, the existing retire path closes the claimed session. The Runner
is retired, so that agent's next follow-up starts cold. Before this
change, a preparation failure happened before the claim, while the
Runner was still parked.
- **Ordering:** the retained plugin task owner is rebound to the new run
earlier, before Core creates tool authority. Nothing in the owner
preparation reads that authority. A failure in tool authority setup now
happens after the rebind, and the retire path handles it.
- **Scope:** only an in-memory warm entry that was parked takes the
early path. Cold launches, adopted Runners, remote warm recovery and
restart recovery are unchanged.
- **Deadline:** the claim deadline now starts earlier. A very slow
backend setup can make the claim expire before attach. Attach then fails
with `native_runner_resume_reconciliation_expired` before it registers,
the same failure as a slow claim today.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, git, GitHub CLI) and subagents.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 92a18bb0f3 perf(runner): restart the ACPX provider when a turn settles (#20190)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Runner drives Claude through the ACPX sidecar. The
sidecar's MCP endpoint lasts for the whole session, so it cannot tell
which turn sent a late tool callback.
> - Because of this, the Runner reaps the sidecar and provider of a
generation that ran a turn before it releases call-ID tombstones and
rotates receipt epochs. Today this restart runs at the start of the next
turn.
> - Every follow-up turn in a run pays that restart on its critical
path: about 1.5 s with real Claude. #20145 moves the restart to park,
but a second turn in the same run, after the first turn that follows an
attach, still restarts cold.
> - The restart does not have to wait for the next turn. When a turn
settles and the host has its terminal result, the Runner is idle.
> - This pull request restarts the provider at that point. The next
turn, or the next park, then finds a fresh generation.
> - The benefit: same-run follow-up turns start without a restart, park
does no restart after a settled turn, and the late-callback guarantee is
unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20145, which moved the restart to park. This pull request builds
on it. No public issue exists, so the problem is described here.

**Subsystem affected**

Paperclip Runner, ACPX provider (Claude).

**Current behavior**

`AcpxProviderSession::start_turn_timed` restarts the provider before any
turn whose generation already ran a turn. A follow-up turn in the same
run waits for `session.suspend`, sidecar shutdown, a new sidecar,
`initialize`, `session.open` and `run.attach` before `turn.start`. Since
#20145, park does the restart instead, but only for the first turn after
an attach.

**Proposed behavior**

When a turn settles and the controller has ACKed every committed event,
the Runner restarts the provider. The next `turn.start` uses the fresh
generation and only rotates receipts. Park reuses the fresh generation
and does no second restart.

**Reason and benefit**

The restart leaves the turn's critical path, both for same-run
follow-ups and for the turns after a park. The order of reap and
rotation stays the same, so a late callback from the reaped generation
still cannot reach a later turn.

## What Changed

- **Runner loop** (`durable/runner.rs`): new
`CommandExecutor::prepare_next_turn` hook, a no-op by default. The
runner calls it after the idle provider poll, only when no control frame
is waiting and the controller has ACKed every committed event
(`acked_source_seq >= highest_source_seq`). So the restart always runs
after the terminal result reaches the host.
- **ACPX turn-end restart** (`acpx_park_preparation.rs`,
`acpx_provider_generation.rs`):
- `restart_session_after_turn` restarts a Claude session that has a
completed turn, nothing pending, no buffered events, a dormant goal and
its whole event tail ACKed. It first settles an abandoned park
observation. If that settlement reads more events, it skips this round,
and the next idle round restarts after those events are ACKed.
- `AcpxProviderSession::restart_after_turn` does the same suspend → reap
→ start → bootstrap → identity check as the turn-start restart. It
records the reaped process id in `restarted_after_turn_from`. This field
is the explicit "fresh because of a turn-end restart" marker.
- The session does not poll a fresh generation until its next turn or
rebind, the same as a prepared one. Its startup output is published with
the next turn, as today. Polling it early would add events after the
host computed its park cut.
- **Next turn** (`acpx_provider_session.rs`): `start_turn_timed`
restarts only when the generation ran a turn. When
`restarted_after_turn_from` is set, it does the post-restart receipt and
ledger rotation without a second restart. `session.reconciled` reports
the reaped process as `previousProcessId`.
- **Park**: `prepare_next_generation` restarts (with the 20 s park
deadline) only if no turn-end restart ran. Otherwise it marks the
generation for `run.attach` rebind and returns `false`, so the runner
does not ask for a second park proof. The park-time receipt rotation
moves to the next turn start, where the turn-end path does it too.
- **Restart failure**: the executor sets the same state that a failed
turn-start restart leaves (`closed`, no session, provider exit
confirmed). The next `turn.start` fails with the same `ACPX turn start
failed closed: …` error that the turn-start restart gives today.
- **Fake sidecar**: new `pending-input` fault, which opens an input
request in a turn that then completes.

### Races

| Race | Handling |
| --- | --- |
| A turn or steer arrives during the turn-end restart | The runner loop
is single-threaded. The command waits in the socket until the restart
returns, then starts on the fresh generation without a restart. Only one
generation is live. |
| A turn arrives before the hook runs (for example, in the same read as
the ACK) | Control frames go first, so the turn restarts at its start,
as today. The hook then restarts after that turn. |
| Park arrives during the turn-end restart | Host control is read at the
top of the loop, so park waits. Park then reuses the fresh generation.
No event is published in between, so the host's park cut still matches.
|
| Park arrives before the hook runs | Park restarts with the 20 s
deadline, as in #20145. The hook then finds a fresh generation and does
nothing. |
| Eviction, `runner.suspend` or retire after the restart | They reap the
fresh generation through the ordinary paths. |
| The restart fails | The session is `closed`. The next turn fails with
the same error and the same durable state as a failed turn-start
restart. Park returns conflict, as it does for a closed session today. |
| Cancellation | `run.cancel`, `turn.interrupt` and `turn.stop` after
the restart return `already_settled`, as after any settled turn. A
cancellation that retires the runtime closes the session, so no restart
runs. |
| Interrupted, cancelled or failed turn | `completed_turn_observed` is
false, so no turn-end restart runs. The next turn restarts at its start,
as today. |
| Pending permission or input requests at the terminal | The reducer
ends them at the terminal, so the restart runs. A later
`request.resolve` fails with `no active turn`, with or without the
restart. |
| Active session goal at the terminal | No restart, because the goal can
keep working after its prompt. |

### Removed as redundant, and what stays

- **Removed:** the park-time restart and dormant verify when a turn-end
restart already made the generation fresh. The runner's
`host_park_ready` proves dormancy just before `prepare_for_park`, and
nothing runs in between.
- **Removed:** the runner's second park proof in that case, because the
provider did not change.
- **Removed:** the park-time receipt and ledger rotation. The next turn
start does it once, for both paths.
- **Kept: the turn-start restart.** Without it, a turn queued before the
hook, a turn after an interrupted or cancelled turn, a turn after an
active goal, and any non-Claude ACPX turn would run in the generation
that ran the previous turn. Tests cover the queued-turn and interrupted
cases.
- **Kept: the park-time restart.** Without it, a park that arrives
before the hook would leave the next run to restart at attach. A test
covers this.
- **Kept: the settlement of an abandoned park observation.** Without it,
the restart drops events that the old generation sent before the
abandoned response. A test covers this, and it fails with the settlement
removed.
- **Kept: the goal-dormancy check.** Without it, the restart kills an
active goal's autonomous work. A test covers this, and it fails with the
check removed.
- **Kept: the ACK gate.** Without it, the restart can run before the
host has the terminal result. A runner test covers this.
- **Kept: deferred polling of the fresh generation.** Without it, its
startup event lands after the host computed its park cut, and the park
conflicts.
- **Kept: the kept failure message.** Without it, the next turn fails
with `ACPX session is not open`, and the restart error is lost.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib` and every
`tests/acpx_*.rs`, `native_provider_backend` and `durable_recovery`
suite: all pass (debug).
- New tests (`tests/support/acpx_turn_end_restart.rs`, run from
`acpx_park_preparation`) prove these points:
- A settled turn reaps the old pid before it spawns the new one, and no
predecessor is still live. A same-run follow-up then sends only
`turn.start` and reports the reaped pid in `session.reconciled`.
- Park after a turn-end restart sends no sidecar command and returns
`false`. Attach rebinds the same pid. The run's second turn restarts at
its end, and the third turn starts without a restart.
  - The reaped generation's late callback never reaches the next turn.
- A turn that arrives before the hook restarts at its start. A park
before the hook restarts once.
- A failed turn-end restart gives the same next-turn error, retry error,
durable state and process count as a failed turn-start restart.
- Cancellation after the restart is `already_settled`. `runner.suspend`
reaps the fresh generation.
- An active goal skips the restart. An input request open at the
terminal behaves the same with or without the restart.
- `acpx_provider_turns`: a session-level turn-end restart drops the old
generation's late `issues.delete` callback, which reuses the previous
turn's call ID. The next turn then admits that call ID from the fresh
provider. Interrupted and retired turns do not restart at turn end.
- `acpx_park_readiness`: a turn-end-restarted generation is park-ready.
An abandoned park observation tail is delivered before the restart.
- `durable::runner`: the hook runs only after the terminal is ACKed and
when control is idle. It never runs during ACK debt, a waiting control
frame or a disconnect.
- Server integration tests (`plugin-runner-release-resume`,
`plugin-runner-eviction` and `plugin-runner-task-warm`) with this
branch's Runner: 49 passed. The provider process counts do not change:
each released run still adds one process start, now at turn end instead
of at park.
- `cargo fmt --check`: clean.
- Fake-sidecar timing (release build, 7 runs, medians):

  | | before (`master` with #20145) | this PR |
  | --- | --- | --- |
| same-run follow-up `turn.start` → `turn.started` | 51.5 ms | 22.0 ms |
| second turn after an attach, `turn.start` → `turn.started` | 270.3 ms
| 23.5 ms |
  | turn-end restart, after the terminal is ACKed | — | 29.0 ms |
  | park preparation after a settled turn | 34.1 ms | 0.03 ms |

- Real Claude: not run for this pull request. With real Claude, the
restart took about 1.5 s on the turn-start path, and this change takes
it off that path. That number is not measured on this branch.

## Risks

- A run that ends after one turn without a park now starts one extra
sidecar that no turn uses. The Claude CLI itself starts only at the
first prompt, so the cost is the sidecar's start and bootstrap.
- The restart blocks the Runner loop for its length (about 1.5 s with
real Claude), as the turn-start restart does today. It has no deadline,
as before. A park that arrives during it waits, inside the host's 30 s
park wait.
- The fresh generation is not polled until its next turn. If it exits
while idle, the next turn finds out at `turn.start` and fails closed.
Park finds out at its observation.
- The turn-end restart is for Claude only, the same as park preparation.
Other ACPX agents keep restarting at turn start.
- If the Runner crashes during the restart, the durable state still says
`session_open`. Recovery is the same as for a crash while idle.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 2d93413085 perf(runner): prepare the next Claude provider generation at park (#20145)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip runs agents through Paperclip Runner, and a host can park
an idle Runner between runs and resume it for the next run on the same
task.
> - For Claude (ACPX), a follow-up run on a parked Runner pays about
1.5–2.3 s at `run.attach` before the provider can start the turn. The
attachment closes the Claude sidecar and spawns a new one: initialize,
`session.open` with `session/load`, `run.attach`, then a dormant verify.
> - The respawn is required. The tool-bridge MCP endpoint lasts for the
whole session and can't tell which turn a late callback came from, so a
new turn must not run in a process that ran an earlier one.
> - Nothing requires the respawn to happen at the *start* of the next
run. A turn that ends 2 s later is a better experience than one that
starts 2 s later.
> - This pull request does the respawn while parking. The next run's
`run.attach` then only rebinds the run id on a fresh, never-used
generation.
> - Follow-up Claude runs on a parked Runner reach the provider about
1.5–2 s sooner, and the late-callback guarantees are unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. The issue is described inline.

### What happened?

On a hosted deployment with parked Runners, Claude follow-up runs
reached the provider about 1.8 s later than Codex follow-ups.
`runner.session.resume` medians were 5.2 s for Claude and 3.4 s for
Codex. The extra time is the ACPX respawn inside `run.attach`. Codex
keeps its process in place.

### Expected behavior

The respawn happens while the Runner parks, so the next run starts on a
prepared generation.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Run a Claude (ACPX) task on a host that parks Runners between runs.
2. Let the run finish and the Runner park.
3. Send a follow-up. `run.attach` closes the provider and starts,
initializes, opens and attaches a new sidecar before `turn.start`. The
Claude CLI itself starts at the first prompt on either path.

### Paperclip version or commit

`master` at e194e193.

### Deployment mode

Hosted, with parked Runner tasks.

## What Changed

- **`durable/runner.rs`:**
- New `CommandExecutor::prepare_for_park(deadline)` hook, a no-op by
default. The runner passes a deadline 20 s after the park request; the
host waits 30 s for the reply.
- The Park host-control arm calls it after `host_park_ready()`,
re-proves readiness, and only then replies `parked`.
- A failure records a diagnostic and replies `conflict`, the existing
park-failure path.
- **ACPX, park side** (`acpx_park_preparation.rs`,
`acpx_provider_generation.rs`):
- For Claude, with the session open, nothing pending and nothing queued:
reap the old generation, using the same suspend-and-reap sequence a
second turn uses.
- Start the replacement with the current run attached, and prove it
dormant.
  - Roll the tool receipt epochs and the turn-identity ledger over.
- Record a digest of the session configuration it was opened with,
ignoring the MCP binding id and the aggregate digest.
- Every sidecar request during preparation is capped at the park
deadline. Running out of time fails like any other preparation failure.
- **ACPX, attach side:**
- A prepared, never-used generation whose digest matches the next run is
rebound: the sidecar gets `run.attach` with the new run id, the reducer
and tool bridges are reset, and the snapshot is checked for the new run
id.
- Anything else takes today's cold path: a different tool set, skill,
prompt or launch; a buffered callback; or any rebind error.
- **ACPX, turn start:** the provider restarts when its generation has
run a turn, instead of when the run has settled turns.
`has_settled_turns` is removed.
- **ACPX, polling:** polling skips a prepared generation until it is
rebound or starts a turn, so nothing it emits is attributed to the
parked run.
- **Sidecar** (`acpx-runtime-sidecar.ts`): rejects `run.attach` once a
turn has started in that process.
- **Fake sidecar:** reports live predecessors at process start, and adds
the faults `reject-open`, `late-tool-after-suspend` and `pre-turn-tool`.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core`: 1029 passed (debug).
  - New `tests/acpx_park_preparation.rs` (10 tests). These prove:
- park reaps the old pid before spawning the new one, and acks only
after the dormant verify;
- a late callback from the old generation after park is rejected, and so
is a pre-turn call from the new generation;
- a compatible attach keeps the pid, and the sidecar and snapshot carry
the new run id;
- changed instructions, tools, skills or runtime context take the cold
path;
    - a used generation is never rebound;
- a prepare failure produces a park conflict and a recoverable state;
    - Retire works after a prepared park;
- a replacement whose `session.open` stalls fails at the park deadline,
leaves the session suspended, and the next run attaches and completes a
turn.
- `cargo fmt --check` and `cargo check --workspace --locked`: clean.
- `vitest` `acpx-runtime-sidecar.test.ts` and
`acpx-sidecar-input.test.ts`: 126 passed. The new re-attach guard test
fails if the guard is removed.
- `vitest` `plugin-runner-release-resume.integration.test.ts` and
`plugin-runner-eviction.integration.test.ts` with the branch's Runner:
48 passed. Both now expect the provider process to be replaced at park
instead of at attach.
- Fake-sidecar timing (release build, 3 runs): `run.attach` took 230–260
ms cold and 40–80 ms after a prepared park.
- Real Claude (claude-agent-acp 0.73.0, release build on a hosted test
VM, 3 runs each way plus one with a 180 s cgroup freeze between park and
attach):

  | | before | this PR |
  |---|---|---|
  | `run.attach` | 1691 ms mean | 212 ms mean |
| `run.attach` start → follow-up `turn.started` | 2565 ms mean | 1065 ms
mean |
  | `turn.start` → first provider output | 2261 ms mean | 2232 ms mean |
  | park preparation added to park | — | about 1450 ms |

Session recall, an authorized tool call after the rebind, and the
absence of any tool call or event from the old run all passed in every
run, including after the freeze. The prepared generation holds only the
sidecar: the Claude CLI starts at the follow-up prompt on both paths, so
a parked Runner also holds one node process instead of the whole Claude
tree.
- Hit rate: on a hosted test deployment, all 15 consecutive Claude runs
across two tasks carried identical content-addressed instruction and
skill bundle paths, so the prepared digest would have matched.
- Not run: the hosted park, claim and attach loop with real Claude, a
native MCP binding or skills with real Claude, `cargo test --release`,
smoke tests.
- Pre-existing flake:
`unconfirmed_suspension_state_becomes_recoverable_only_after_cleanup_and_suspend`
fails intermittently on clean `master` when the `hosted acpx durable::`
subset runs in parallel. It passed in both full runs.

## Risks

- **Park takes about 1.5 s longer** before it replies with real Claude.
Preparation is capped at 20 s; the host's park wait is 30 s.
- **Configuration changes:** a change between park and the next run
(registered asset paths, tools, prompt) takes the cold path. That's
safe, but saves nothing.
- **Stale environment:** a prepared process was opened with the previous
run's environment and disk state. If credential or configuration files
change on disk while the Runner is parked, the prepared process won't
see them, whereas the cold path would.
- **Failed prepare:** a park that fails after the reap leaves no live
provider. The next turn or `run.attach` starts Claude cold, as today.
- **Scope:** only ACPX Claude prepares. Other providers park exactly as
before.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, git, GitHub CLI) and subagents.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 5a51a7685d fix(budgets): raise_budget_and_resume continues the work its budget stopped, once (#20144)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A budget hard stop cancels the scope's running work; the board
resolves it with Raise budget and resume
> - In the restart-chaos H1 scenario, the cancelled tasks did not
continue after resume and each needed a manual Retry
> - Resume is the board's explicit decision to continue, so the work it
stopped should continue once, as if the board clicked Retry
> - This pull request files that Retry automatically, keyed by the
cancelled run, once the run's stop has settled
> - The benefit is that a budget raise restores the work without manual
Retries, without repeating completed work, and without charging the
run's attempt budget

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20143 (bug B; this PR builds on it), #20113 (bug A), #20101
(superseded: split into #20143 and this PR)

**What happened?**
Restart-chaos waves w-20261108T195944-s42 and w-20261108T210118-s9802
(H1). After `raise_budget_and_resume`, CHA-3's budget-cancelled run
(enforcement stop) and CHA-1's run (agent lifecycle pause from the
budget hold) stayed cancelled until someone clicked Retry.

**Expected behavior**
Resuming continues each task its budget stopped, exactly once, with no
attempt charged, an activity entry, and no repeat of work that already
continued. A run a person stopped stays stopped.

**Steps to reproduce**
Set a budget below spend while a task runs; let the stop cancel the run;
resolve with Raise budget and resume. Before this change, no new run is
queued.

## What Changed

- New table `budget_resume_claims` (migration 0451). One row per
cancelled run, outside the run's result JSON, so a Stop that settles
during the resume cannot erase it.
- `markBudgetCancelledWorkForResume` (called by `resolveIncident` before
the incident closes): claims every task run its budget stopped since the
incident opened. That covers runs budget enforcement fenced, including
stops still in flight, and runs the agent lifecycle pause stopped for
this budget (`pauseStop`, carried from the lifecycle operation's
`pauseCause` so a resume before the Stop keeps the link). Runs a person
stopped are excluded. Two indexed passes led by `(company_id, status)`.
- `deliverBudgetResumeContinuations`: once a claimed run's stop settles,
files the resolving board member's Retry (`requestTaskRetry`,
idempotency key `budget-resume:<run>`, with the member's session source
and the chat Retry callback). The Retry path checks, under the task
lock, that the run is still the task's latest and the task is open, so
continued or completed work is never repeated. Claim settlement and its
activity entry commit together; retryable refusals and errors retry.
- Delivery runs in the always-on budget-enforcement worker after each
pass's Stop delivery. Its schedule includes deliverable claims and the
earliest stale-claim expiry. The execution-continuation worker is a
backstop.
- `agent.paused` / `agent.resumed` logging is in #20113.
`budget.cancelled_work_resume_requested` (incident) and
`budget.cancelled_work_continued` / `_not_continued` (task) are recorded
here.

## Verification

- New `budget-resume-continuation.test.ts` (Postgres, real
`resolveIncident` → claims → `requestTaskRetry` → real `resumeTaskRetry`
into a queued run):
- each task continues once, including a blocked task; repeat delivery or
resolve saves nothing new;
- a stop still in flight at resume, whose terminal write replaces the
result JSON, is still continued;
  - a 30-task scope is fully continued;
- a lifecycle-pause stop caused by the budget is continued, and one
caused by a manual pause is not;
- continued work, done tasks, a run that finished before its stop, and
person-stopped runs (including ones enforcement also fenced) are not
continued.
- `lifecycle.test.ts`: the pause records its cause on the operation and
on stopped runs, including when the budget is resumed before the pause's
Stop. `budget-enforcement-worker.test.ts`: delivery after Stop delivery,
and a wake at claim expiry.
- 287 tests across the affected suites passed. Server typecheck
(`typecheck-layers`, low-memory): no errors.
- Not run: the H1 chaos rerun (Phase 3 runs it after merge).

## Risks

- Resume now continues budget-stopped tasks automatically. A board that
wants a task stopped can Stop it again; person-stopped runs are never
continued.
- A new table and one index (migration 0451).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 b54317d3fb fix(native): give a preparing run's first turn the user's queued messages instead of interrupting it (#20168)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A Paperclip Runner (native) run prepares its workspace and
environment before it starts its first provider turn. This can take
about a minute.
> - A user's message that arrives during that time waits as a deferred
wake behind the run. The Interrupt control then cancelled the run before
any provider turn.
> - The cancel threw away the whole preparation. A new run had to
prepare again, so the user waited longer for the first token.
> - This pull request gives the run's first turn the queued messages.
The run seals its first-turn input immediately before `turn.start`, so
the messages are part of the prompt that the turn starts with.
> - The benefit is that the user sees the message handled in the same
run, with no cancel and no second preparation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A Paperclip Runner run took about 54 s to prepare (environment startup,
workspace, runtime selection). The user sent a second message 32 s into
that time and clicked Interrupt 21 s later. Interrupt cancelled the run
as `operator_interrupted` ("Interrupted to send queued messages") before
any provider turn. A new run then prepared again from the start. The
runtime-selection transaction that froze the run's input completed about
5 s before the click, and the coordinator claim came 4 s after it, so
the message could not be given to the first turn at any point in the old
code.

**Expected behavior**
When a user message arrives for a task whose current run has not started
its first provider turn, the run does not stop. The message goes into
that run's first turn. A run that is in a turn is interrupted as before.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Assign a task to a Paperclip Runner agent with a sandbox environment,
so preparation takes a long time.
2. While the run prepares, post a second comment on the task.
3. Click Interrupt on the queued message before the run starts its
provider turn.
4. See that the run is cancelled and a new run prepares again.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Staging revision b43cccbb0.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/native-runtime/first-turn-queued-input.ts` (new):
`claimFirstTurnQueuedInput` seals a run's first-turn input in one
transaction. It locks the task, the deferred wakes, and the run in the
same order as the queue routes. It takes the responsible user's plain
queued comments in queue order (not interaction answers, interrupt
intents, independent continuations, conversations, or other users'
messages). It renders them with source-trust sanitizing and secret
redaction, then writes a `firstTurnQueuedInput` receipt
(`paperclip.first-turn-queued-input.v1`) into the run context. A second
call for the same run returns the same messages.
`runAcceptsFirstTurnQueuedInput` is true for a running native (or
preparing native) run that has no receipt and no accepted provider turn.
- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/native-session-runtime.ts`: new
`getFirstTurnQueuedInput` option. The runner calls it immediately before
the first `session.startTurn` and appends the result to `task.prompt`
(or to `events` for a resumed-session continuation envelope). It is not
called for the disposition-only recovery turn.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: passes the claim to the runner. A failed
seal commits nothing, so the executor logs it and starts the turn
without the messages. The messages stay queued.
- `queued-comment-delivery.ts`: a message in a run's receipt counts as
delivered only after the provider accepted that run's turn
(`turn.accepted` or the provider's `turn.started`), and only if the
message was not edited after the seal. Release promotion, Send, and
later first turns use this rule. `explicit-native-continuation.ts` uses
the same rule for stopped native runs.
- `routes/issues.ts` Interrupt: when the target run has not sealed its
first turn and has no accepted turn, the route does not record interrupt
intent and does not cancel the run. The response has
`executionWait.reason = "first_turn_pending"`. Other runs are
interrupted as before.
- Queue views (`routes/issues.ts` and the wake-queue adapter) hide
messages that the active run took into its first turn. Queue edits keep
those ids on the wake, so a run that fails before acceptance still
leaves them queued.
- `run-state.ts`: the issue-control run projection includes the receipt,
so the queue poll can hide taken messages.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: new section "Queued messages before a
native run's first turn".

## Verification

- Red before the fix, green after:
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-queued-comments-routes.test.ts -t "first
turn|already started"`: Interrupt on a preparing run and on a claimed
native run before `turn.start` does not stop the run, and the first turn
gets both messages in order. Before the fix, both cases cancelled the
run.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/native-session-runtime.test.ts -t "first-turn queued input"`: the
claim runs immediately before `turn.start`, and the first turn's prompt
ends with the queued messages. Before the fix, the claim was never
called.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/first-turn-queued-input.test.ts`: a run that
fails before `turn.start` leaves the message queued. The next run
delivers it, and after that no later run or copied retry context takes
it again. Before the delivery rule, the "exactly once" and "accepted
then failed" cases failed.
- Safety cases that pass before and after: Interrupt still cancels a run
whose provider accepted a turn (including a run saved by the previous
release with no receipt) and a run whose first-turn input is already
sealed. The existing "explicit interrupt fallback" cases for preparing
and native runs without a responsible user still pass.
- Speed: the seal is one short transaction before `turn.start`. In the
embedded-Postgres test it took 5.5 ms. It removes a full second
preparation (54 s on staging) from the message-to-first-token time.
- Related suites: `src/modules/wake-queue`,
`explicit-native-continuation`, `issue-queued-comment-queue`,
`issue-queued-comments-routes`, `queued-comment-consumption`,
`heartbeat/run-state` (888 tests), `native-session-executor.test.ts`
(1306 tests), and the full `native-session-runtime.test.ts` (238 tests)
pass. `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.
- Not done: no live run against a real provider or sandbox. Staging was
read only.

## Risks

- Previous-release state: a deferred wake saved by the previous release
has the same shape and is taken normally. A run saved by the previous
release has no receipt. If it is resumed before its first turn, it seals
on the new release. If its provider already accepted a turn, Interrupt
stops it as before. A run saved by the previous release while it was in
`turn.start` but before acceptance counts as unsealed, so in that short
window an Interrupt does not stop it and the message is delivered at the
turn boundary.
- Rollback: if the server rolls back after a run sealed and its turn was
accepted, the old release does not read the receipt and can deliver
those messages a second time.
- A first turn that does not use the fresh-turn path (restart
continuation, disposition-only recovery) does not call the claim. Its
messages are delivered at the turn boundary as before.
- A message that arrives after the seal waits for the turn boundary.
Interrupt stops the run as before.
- No schema migration. The receipt is a key in the run context.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 28e070f8dc feat(skills): show a line diff for a pending tracked-source update (#20155)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Skills can come from a tracked GitHub source, and an update moves
the installed copy to a newer upstream revision
> - Before an update, a person asks the agent "what changed in the new
version?"
> - The product has no diff for a pending update. The agent previews two
full SKILL.md snapshots and compares them by eye
> - In two eval runs the agent reversed the same changed line. In a
third run it fetched the files with curl and ran `diff` itself, and the
turn took too long
> - This pull request adds a read-only endpoint that returns the line
diff between the installed and the latest tracked revision
> - The benefit is that review answers come from an exact diff, and they
come faster

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. Feature description:

**What happened**
An agent asked to show what changed in a pending skill update had only
`POST /skill-sources/preview`, which returns one file at one commit. It
previewed both commits and compared about 9 KB of text by eye. It
reported one changed line in the wrong direction ("every new build" ->
"every build or release" instead of the reverse), and later retracted a
real change.

**Expected behavior**
The agent can request the exact changes of a pending tracked-source
update and report them with the correct direction.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Install a skill from a GitHub source at an old commit and set the
tracking reference to a newer commit (automatic updates off).
2. Ask the chat agent: "Show me what changed in the new accessibility
skill version before we update it."
3. See that the agent can only preview full files at each commit and
must compare them itself.

## What Changed

- Add `GET /api/companies/{companyId}/skills/{skillId}/update-diff`. For
a skill from a tracked GitHub source, it compares the installed source
revision (`currentRef`) with the latest tracked revision (`latestRef`).
For each changed package file it returns `change` (added, removed,
modified, or `not_compared`), `binary`, `executableChanged`, and a
unified line diff (`-` installed, `+` latest), or `diffUnavailable`
(`binary`, `too_large`, `omitted`, `budget`) that says why there is no
diff. The endpoint is read-only. The `skillId` parameter handler checks
company access and skill visibility, the same checks other skill reads
use.
- `hasUpdate` is false and `files` is empty when the installed revision
is already the latest one. That case reads only the latest commit and
scans nothing.
- Return `supported: false` with a reason for: a skill without a tracked
source, a disconnected source, an unknown installed revision, and a
repository package that a scan could include only in part (a subset, or
skill folders only). In the last case, files that a scan limit left out
would otherwise look removed.
- A path the scan left out of a revision (too large, a symlink, or
rejected by the audit) is listed as `not_compared` instead of added or
removed.
- One response shares a work budget (24M LCS cells), a diff-text budget
(1M characters) and a file-count budget (1,000 files), and sets
`truncated` when it reaches one. The GitHub read and both scans stop
when the caller disconnects.
- Add `server/src/services/skill-update-diff.ts` with a bounded line
diff (shared head and tail trimmed, LCS size capped). An absent side has
no lines, a final newline is not a line, and a missing final newline
shows the unified-diff marker. A replaced line reads `-old` then `+new`.
- Add the shared types `SkillSourceUpdateDiff` and
`SkillSourceUpdateDiffFile`.
- Document the endpoint in the API catalog (`openapi.ts`) so agents find
it with `search_api`.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/skill-update-diff.test.ts`
(10 tests):
  - direction of `-`/`+` lines, and separate hunks with bounded context
  - exact diffs for added and removed files, and final-newline handling
  - a change to only the executable bit, and paths left out of a scan
  - the response budgets
- the snapshot comparison for the selected skill path, with the abort
signal passed to both scans
  - a commit mismatch
  - refusal of partial repository scans
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/skill-update-diff-routes.test.ts` (6 tests):
  - the diff response
  - no pending update (no scan)
- a caller from another company (board user and agent) gets 403 before
any lookup
  - a skill the caller cannot read gets 404 before any source read
  - every unsupported case
  - a client disconnect aborts the scans
- `company-skills-routes.test.ts` and `openapi-routes.test.ts` pass (119
tests across the four files).
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server`: no errors from this change.
- End to end: the `skills.review-update` chat eval exercises this path.
Its grader checks the quoted hunks against the real pinned diff.

## Risks

- Low risk. The endpoint is new and read-only. Existing routes do not
change.
- When an update is pending, each call scans the source twice (installed
and latest commit). It uses the same GitHub reader, scan limits and scan
slots as preview and refresh. The diff work and response size are capped
per response.
- `/update-status` and this route both read the latest commit of the
tracking ref. They are kept separate because `/update-status` compares
with the source's last scan, while this route compares with the
installed revision.
- No UI uses the endpoint yet.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), tool use and code
execution in Claude Code.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 cedf335c98 fix(native): a failed terminal followed by an active restart continuation is not a permanent failure (#20149)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When a restart loses a native run's active turn, the run records
that turn as failed with `provider_turn_lost_on_restore` and continues
on a same-conversation continuation turn
> - Restart recovery blocks a run as
`provider_checkpoint_permanently_failed` when its checkpoint carries a
failed run terminal and no pending restart interruption
> - While a continuation is running, the checkpoint keeps the lost
turn's failed run terminal and names the continuation as the active
turn. The pending-interruption check returns nothing once a turn is
active
> - So a second restart during the continuation read the run as
permanently failed, blocked replay, and needed the board
> - This pull request treats that failed terminal as the restart loss it
records whenever an active turn follows a restart-lost terminal turn
> - The benefit is that runs survive repeated restarts during their
continuations, including M1 parents and their subtasks

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20148

**What happened?**
Local restart-chaos M1 K4/K6 rerun w-20261109T003126-s9701 (master
8e3b64a257), t05 (claude M1 parent):
1. Run `e1e37dab` lost turns to restarts at 00:41:32 and 00:47:53. Each
time it continued, and the third continuation `turn_lab_92b03dc7…` was
active.
2. At 00:48:29 the next restart blocked it:
`native_restart_recovery_blocked` /
`provider_checkpoint_permanently_failed`, with replay blocked.
3. Its saved checkpoint held `terminal.runTerminalState: "failed"` (from
the lost turn), `activeTurnId` set to the continuation, and a last
terminal turn fingerprinted `provider_turn_lost_on_restore`.

Its codex/ACPX subtask's run `f9b10d06` was blocked in the same pass
with the same shape, and its continuation had already proposed a
semantic result. Both stayed blocked. The parent's Retry was held on the
blocked child.

**Expected behavior**
A failed run terminal that records a restart loss, followed by an active
continuation turn, is not a permanent failure. Recovery claims
`resume_dead_runner`. The runtime then reconciles the active turn, and a
held result settles a lost turn as completed. A real provider failure
followed by a later turn still blocks.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Checkpoint a run whose last terminal turn is a restart loss, whose
`terminal` is failed, and whose `activeTurnId` is a later continuation
(optionally with a semantic result).
2. Claim restart recovery. Before this change it blocks with
`provider_checkpoint_permanently_failed`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
8e3b64a257 (wave). Branch rebased on current master.

## What Changed

- `contracts/native-session-backend.ts` (runner): the new
`nativeRestartContinuationInFlight` is true when all of these hold:
  - the checkpoint has an active turn;
  - its last terminal turn is a different turn;
- that turn's fingerprint is a failed, result-less, recoverable
`provider_turn_lost_on_restore`.
- `native-session-runtime.ts`: recovery clears that stale failed
terminal for a continuation in flight, as it already does for a
checkpointed interruption. Before, it threw
`provider_checkpoint_failed_terminal` before it reconciled the active
turn.
- `native-restart-recovery.ts` (server): `checkpointFailed` now also
requires that no restart continuation be in flight. It uses the same
contract function through the vendor boundary.
- `native-session-runtime.test.ts`: an end-to-end recovery test. A
checkpoint with the stale failed terminal and an active continuation
resolves on the continuation's result without starting a new turn.
- `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`:
  - a codex case of the stale-terminal shape as saved in production;
  - an ACPX case with a held result;
- a held case where an active turn follows a real provider failure
(`model_not_found`).

## Verification

- Red/green: on master, the stale-terminal case is blocked with
`provider_checkpoint_permanently_failed`. With the change it claims
`resume_dead_runner`. The real-failure case stays blocked on both.
- Red/green (runtime): without the runtime change, the end-to-end test
throws `provider_checkpoint_failed_terminal`. With it, the run
completes.
- `vitest run` over the restart-recovery and failed-workspace-recovery
test files in `server/src/services/native-runtime`: 5 files, 305 tests
passed (14 skipped).
- `vitest run` over the runner restart, recovery, continuation and
terminal test files: 9 files, 385 tests passed.
- `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm typecheck` (`server`) and `pnpm
run typecheck:typescript` (`packages/paperclip-runner`): passed.

## Risks

- Low risk. The exception applies only when the recorded failure is
itself a recoverable restart loss and a later turn is in flight. Every
other recovery gate is unchanged: the provider-attempt budget,
controller takeover and process proofs.

## Model Used

(shell, file edits, test execution).

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 546cfee919 fix(github): send gh repo create and fork to the connection's tools (#20142)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents with a managed GitHub connection get `git` and `gh` launchers
that use the connection's credential
> - The launcher gives that credential to any `gh` command, and the
broker does not see which command runs
> - So `gh repo create` and `gh repo fork` skip the connection's tool
switches, ask-first approvals, owner defaults, and audit
> - The connection's `create_repository` and `fork_repository` tools
apply all of these
> - This pull request stops `gh repo create`, `gh repo new`, and `gh
repo fork` when a managed credential is in use, and names the tool to
use instead
> - The benefit is that repository creation follows the connection's
rules, whichever path the agent tries first

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20141 (default owner for `create_repository` and
`fork_repository`).

**What happened?**
An agent with a managed GitHub connection can run `gh repo create` in
its shell. The command uses the connection's token, but it does not use
the connection's tool rules. If the user turns off or reviews
`create_repository` on the connection, the agent can still create a
repository with `gh`. The owner default from #20141 also does not apply,
so the command can fail with `403 Resource not accessible by
integration` when the App is installed only on an organization.

**Expected behavior**
With a managed connection, repository creation and forks go through the
connection's tools. The tool switch, approvals, owner default, and audit
apply.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Connect GitHub with a managed connection.
2. Set the connection's `create_repository` tool to off or ask first.
3. In an agent run, run `gh repo create demo --private`.
4. The command runs with the connection's credential and ignores the
tool setting.

## What Changed

- `packages/adapter-utils/src/github-launcher.ts`: when the broker
returns a managed credential, `gh repo create`, `gh repo new`, and `gh
repo fork` exit with code 1 before `gh` starts. The message names the
`create_repository` or `fork_repository` tool and tells the agent to
finish with Git.
- `--help` still runs. Other `gh` commands do not change. Executions
without a managed credential run these commands as before.
- `doc/execution-github-identity.md`: describes the behavior and states
that this is guidance, not a security boundary.

## Verification

- New test in `packages/adapter-utils/src/github-launcher.test.ts`:
"sends repository creation and forks to the connection's tools when a
connection is in use". It covers `create`, the `new` alias, `fork`,
`--help`, another `gh repo` command, and the case without a connection.
It fails without the launcher change.
- `npx vitest run src/execution-target.test.ts
src/github-launcher-environment.test.ts src/github-launcher.test.ts` in
`packages/adapter-utils`: 83 passed.
- `npx vitest run src/drivers/acpx/github-launcher.test.ts` in
`packages/paperclip-runner`: 3 passed.
- `npx vitest run src/services/heartbeat-github-launchers.test.ts` in
`server`: 12 passed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/adapter-utils` passes.

## Risks

- Agents that used `gh repo create --source . --push` must now call
`create_repository`, then add the remote and push with Git. The message
tells them to do this.
- If the connection's tool is off for the agent, the agent cannot create
a repository. This is the purpose of the tool setting.
- This is not a security boundary. Other commands that receive the
token, such as `gh api`, can still call the same GitHub endpoints.
- Running launchers keep their earlier source until the next run stages
new launchers.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, used through Claude
Code with tool use (code reading, shell commands, and test runs).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c49ab6b9ee feat(issues): wake the parent once when a child or blocker stalls on the board (#20098)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A parent task delegates to children and waits on blockers. Its agent
learns of progress only through wakes
> - Today only completion (`issue_children_completed`) and resolution
(`issue_blockers_resolved`) wake a waiting issue
> - In restart chaos `w-20261108T181313-s9701` t05, a blocker stopped on
a recovery action that needs the board, and its parent sat silently
blocked for 50+ minutes
> - This pull request wakes the waiting agent once per such stall, tells
it what it can do, and shows the stall on the parent's page with the
child's Retry
> - The benefit is that a stuck child or blocker no longer silently
strands its parent

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831 (durable ownership plan; restart chaos campaign). Restart
chaos wave `w-20261108T181313-s9701`, task t05 (M1, claude).

**Problem**

From the kept database:
- CHA-8 `blocks` CHA-5.
- CHA-8's board-owned recovery action (`native_session_retry_exhausted`)
was created at 18:44:02.909 and resolved with outcome `blocked` at
18:44:08, when CHA-8 moved to `blocked` for the board.
- CHA-5's only wake in the whole wave was its `issue_assigned` at
18:20:48. Its agent never heard about CHA-8.

**Expected behavior**
- When a child or blocker stalls on the board, the waiting agent is
woken once. It can then re-delegate, escalate, or block with a reason.
- The board sees the stall on the waiting task, with the child's Retry.

## What Changed

- **Shared:**
- `ISSUE_BLOCKER_STALLED_WAKE_REASON` (`issue_blocker_stalled`),
`ISSUE_BLOCKER_STALL_RELATIONS`, and the types
`IssueBlockerStallRelation` and `IssueBlockerStalledWakeContext`;
  - `Issue.stalledDependencies`.
- **Server, `services/recovery/blocker-stall-wakeups.ts`:**
- A stall is an issue that is not done or cancelled, whose latest
recovery action needs the board. That means either open
(`active`/`escalated`) and board-owned or escalated, or board-owned and
resolved as `blocked` while the issue is still `blocked`. The second
case is what t05 needed: recovery resolves its action that way when it
hands the issue to the board.
- Waiters are the parent, and every issue the stalled one `blocks`, when
they are open, visible and agent-assigned.
- Each waiter gets one wake per stall. The idempotency key
`issue_blocker_stalled:{waiter}:{stalled}:{recoveryActionId}` is checked
through the indexed `(company_id, payload->>'issueId')` path. A later
stall has a new action id, so it wakes again.
  - Each wake writes activity `issue.blocker_stalled_wake`.
- The pass runs from the recovery-action sweep
(`reconcileActiveRecoveryActions`) and from the per-issue blocked sweep
(`reconcileResolvedDependencyWakeBackstop`, which visits each blocked
issue). No new worker.
- A waiter's agent that cannot read the stalled issue (`issue:read`,
which honors private visibility) is woken without its title, identifier
or recovery details; the activity entry withholds them too.
- **Database:** migration `0450` adds the partial unique index
`agent_wakeup_requests_issue_blocker_stalled_uq` on `(company_id,
idempotency_key)` for `issue_blocker_stalled:` keys in delivered or
pending statuses, so two concurrent sweeps cannot both deliver a stall.
It is built `CONCURRENTLY IF NOT EXISTS` outside a transaction (listed
in `MIGRATIONS_WITH_TOP_LEVEL_STATEMENTS`).
- **Queue:** `allowsDependencyBlockedWake` (in
`run-dispatch/domain/wake-context.ts`) lets a stall wake run while the
waiter's blockers are unresolved, at both dependency gates. Without it
the wake was parked until the stalled blocker resolved, which is never.
Pause holds are unchanged.
- **Agent guidance:** the wake payload carries `blockerStall`, and
`renderPaperclipWakePrompt` adds a "Stalled dependency" section. It
names the task and its recovery action and the board's next action, then
the three choices: re-delegate, escalate with a comment, or block with a
reason naming the stalled task.
- **Other reason lists:** `issue_blocker_stalled` joins the
responsible-user wake reasons, the conversation execution-wake reasons
(it never drives a chat turn) and the wake diagnostic's known reasons.
- **Board surface:**
- `GET /issues/:id` returns `stalledDependencies`, readable issues only
(`readableIssueEdgeIds`).
- `StalledDependencyNotice` shows on the issue's chat notices, next to
`IssueBlockedNotice`: each stalled child or blocker, its board next
action, a link, and the child's own Retry (`useTaskRetry`), offered only
when the child's interruption allows it.

## Verification

Red/green:
- `server/src/__tests__/issue-blocker-stall-wakeups.test.ts` (14 tests).
  - On master: no `issue_blocker_stalled` wake is raised.
- With this PR: the parent is woken once per stall, and re-woken after a
new stall. A blocker's dependent is woken.
- The t05 shape (an action resolved as `blocked`) wakes once, and
nothing more after a Retry.
- No wake for an agent-owned action, a done, unassigned or hidden
waiter, or an action resolved another way.
  - `listStalledDependencies` lists children and blockers.
- `heartbeat-dependency-scheduling.test.ts` "admits an
issue_blocker_stalled wake while a blocker is unresolved". On master the
wake was parked (`null`); once admitted, the run-start gate cancelled
it. With this PR it runs with `dependencyBlockedInteraction`. The file:
14 passed.
- `packages/adapter-utils` `server-utils.test.ts`: the new prompt test
failed on master (no `blockerStall`). The file: 141 passed.
- `ui/src/components/StalledDependencyNotice.test.tsx`: 3 passed.
`IssueChatThread.test.tsx`: 109 passed.

Regression and static checks:
- Nearby server suites (recovery durable wait, dependency wake routes,
recovery actions, run-preparation): 149 passed.
- `tsc --noEmit` passes for `packages/shared`, `server` and `ui/src`.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` is clean.

Review round 1 (Greptile, Superagent), each with a regression:
- A backlog waiter is never woken. The waiter's status and assignee are
guarded at enqueue.
- One stall per run: no coalescing, so a merged run cannot keep only the
last stall's context.
- Only a delivered or pending wake ends a stall. A refused one
(wake-on-demand off) is retried after 10 minutes, and an agent that
takes no wakes is skipped without writing a row.
- Company-wide passes resume after the last stall a capped pass reached.
The per-issue sweep also checks the issue's own children and blockers,
which covers an unassigned stalled blocker.
- The dependency gates no longer trust the reason string.
`verifyBlockerStallWake` requires a system request, the stalled issue's
current stall action, and a real child or blocker edge. An
agent-requested wake with the same context is parked (tested).
- The notice shows a refused Retry's reason, and a lost response as
"Taking longer than usual…", with Retry still available (tested).

Review round 2 (Greptile), each with a regression:
- Race: two passes claiming one stall leave one delivered row (unique
index; the loser's insert is skipped).
- The company recovery sweep selects companies whose only stall is a
resolved-`blocked` board action, so an unassigned stalled blocker with a
todo waiter is reached.
- Private stalled issue: the waiter's wake and activity carry no title,
identifier or recovery details.
- `GET /issues/:id` always returns `stalledDependencies`, so a cleared
stall replaces the cached list.
- The notice shows a failed child read with a Reload button (tested).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations` passes.

Review round 3 (Greptile), each with a regression:
- A stall wake that fails to enqueue is retried: the recovery-action
pass reports `blockerStallWakeFailures` and the dependency pass counts
it in `enqueueFailed`, so the worker throws and retries at its backoff
(`issue-recovery-work-lifecycle.test.ts`).
- The notice drops a stall once the child's refreshed status has moved
on (`StalledDependencyNotice.test.tsx`, 7 tests).

## Risks

- A deploy wakes the waiters of every issue that is stalled today, once
each. That is intended (they are stranded now), and it's bounded at 200
stalls per pass.
- A stall wake may run while blockers are unresolved, like a comment
wake. It is bounded to one per stall, and pause holds still apply.
- The agent skill (`skills/paperclip`, CODEOWNER-owned) does not yet
list the new reason. The wake prompt carries the guidance.
- One additive index, built concurrently; no persisted run state change.
Existing rows cannot violate it before deploy, since no
`issue_blocker_stalled:` keys exist yet.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 b43cccbb08 fix(runner): keep a restart continuation when a stale earlier continuation is reported lost (#20118)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When a restart loses a native run's active turn, the runner reports
it as `provider_turn_lost_on_restore` and the controller starts one
same-conversation continuation. A later restart that loses the
continuation is answered the same way
> - With back-to-back restarts, the controller's checkpoint can miss a
continuation that the runner already accepted. On the next restore the
controller starts a fresh continuation, and the restored runner then
reports the unrecorded earlier continuation as lost
> - The event consumer treated that stale lost terminal as the run's
terminal, so the run failed while its new continuation was already
running
> - Recovery then refused to replay the failed run, and the task needed
a Retry. In an M1 parent/subtask task, the parent's Retry succeeded but
the parent stayed `blocked` on that subtask
> - This pull request makes the consumer skip a restart-lost terminal
for any turn other than the continuation it started
> - The benefit is that back-to-back restarts no longer turn a
recoverable lost turn into a failed run that needs Retry

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20107

**What happened?**
Restart-chaos K14 wave w-20261108T213600-s9803 (local, an upgrade
between builds plus repeated restarts) at 070365404e. In task t02
(claude M1), the codex subtask CHA-7 failed with
`native_provider_terminal_failed: The runner restored the conversation
after process loss, but the previous turn is no longer active.` The
sequence:
1. Restore 1 lost turn `01a1bd17…`, and the controller started
continuation `01a1bd18-15ec…` (runner command 14). A restart followed
within a second, before the controller's checkpoint recorded that
continuation.
2. Restore 2 saw the checkpointed interruption of `01a1bd17…` and
started a fresh continuation, `01a1bd18-4cc4…` (command 24). The
restored runner also reported the unrecorded continuation
`01a1bd18-15ec…` as `provider_turn_lost_on_restore`.
3. Because a continuation was already started, the consumer returned
that stale terminal as the run's terminal. The run failed, the new
continuation was stopped (command 25), and automatic recovery refused to
replay it (`uncertain_provider_action`, `preserve_without_replay_v1`).
4. The parent CHA-2 asked CHA-7 to resume by comment, but an agent
comment cannot authorize a blocked replay, so the wake stayed
`deferred_issue_execution`. The parent's own Retry succeeded, but CHA-2
stayed `blocked` on CHA-7 (`R3:retry_did_not_complete`).

**Expected behavior**
A restart-lost terminal for an older, unrecorded continuation is
superseded by the continuation this restore started. The run continues
on that continuation and needs no Retry.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Checkpoint a native session whose last terminal is a restart-lost
turn and whose active turn is null, so recovery starts a continuation.
2. Have the restored session report another turn (the unrecorded earlier
continuation) as `provider_turn_lost_on_restore`, either before or after
the new continuation starts.
3. Before this change, the run ends on that stale terminal.

**Paperclip version or commit**
070365404e (wave); branch rebased on current master.

## What Changed

- `native-session-runtime.ts`:
  - Records the turn id of the restart continuation it starts.
- New `supersededByRestartContinuation`, used by the consumer's
`resumeInterruptedTurn`, keeps consuming past a
`provider_turn_lost_on_restore` `turn.failed` when all of these hold:
    - the run was recovered from a checkpointed interruption;
- the failed turn is neither the checkpointed interrupted turn nor the
started continuation;
    - a continuation was actually started.
- The check first waits for the startup decision, because the consumer
starts before the continuation does.
- `native-session-runtime.test.ts`: a red/green test, with the stale
lost terminal arriving both after and before the continuation starts.

## Verification

- Red/green:
  - On master, both test cases end the run on the stale terminal.
- With the change, both resolve on the continuation's result. The
continuation is started once, and the stale `turn.failed` is still
appended to the journal.
- `vitest run` over the restart, recovery, continuation and terminal
test files in `packages/paperclip-runner`, including all of
`native-session-runtime.test.ts`: 9 files, 380 tests passed.
- `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm typecheck:typescript`
(`packages/paperclip-runner`): passed.

## Risks

- Low risk. The skip applies only to restart-lost failures of turns
other than the checkpointed interrupted turn and the started
continuation, and only after a continuation actually started. Real
provider failures, a loss of the continuation itself, and runs without a
checkpointed interruption keep their current handling.
- If startup fails, the startup decision still settles. The consumer
then falls back to the existing behavior and the run fails as before.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 412d49e48d fix(runner): resume an ACPX turn interrupted by a deploy instead of refusing the launch digest (#20112)
## Thinking Path

- The rule for upgrade-safe saved state: work saved by the old build
must resume under the new build.
- The K14 upgrade-mid-run chaos wave (`838e9bf3d2` → `f789f3e2af`) broke
that rule for Claude. The same heartbeat run resumed after the upgrade
restart, and the runner's resume probe (`runner.drain`) failed with
`ACPX durable launch profile digest does not match runner startup`
(`provider_state_incompatible`). t03 and t04's Claude subtask both
needed a board Retry. Codex crossed the upgrade cleanly.
- The ACPX launch profile digest covers the provider-pack authority and
the sidecar artifact hashes, so every deploy changes it.
- #18879 already re-binds a suspended session to the new digest. A
deploy that restarts the runner mid-turn leaves the same run with an
active turn, or with an open session, which is the state a same-build
lost-turn restore leaves behind. Neither was re-bound.
- A same-build restart already recovers both states safely: it reopens
an open session, and recovers an active turn through
`restore_conversation_after_lost_turn`, which is guarded by the
provider-lifetime fence. An upgraded build should take the same path.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18879

**What happened?**
A deploy restarted the runner while a Claude (ACPX) task was mid-run.
When the same run resumed under the new build, restore refused the saved
state with `provider_state_incompatible`. The task stopped and needed a
manual Retry, which started a fresh provider session and dropped the
conversation.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a Claude task on build A and let it reach an active turn.
2. Upgrade to build B, which ships a new provider pack or sidecar build,
with a graceful restart while the turn runs.
3. The same run's resume fails with `ACPX durable launch profile digest
does not match runner startup`.

**Expected behavior**
The resumed run recovers exactly as it would after a same-build restart.
The conversation is restored, or the lost turn is closed through the
normal recovery path, with no Retry.

## What Changed

-
`packages/paperclip-runner/runner/crates/runner-core/src/acpx_provider_backend.rs`:
- `rebinds_settled_session` now also re-binds the saved digest for an
**interrupted turn or open session of the same heartbeat run**
(`rebinds_interrupted_turn`).
- The re-bind requires exactly the same-build recovery preconditions: no
accepted semantic result, no pending runtime request, no unconfirmed
provider exit, and a dormant goal. It also keeps the existing
requirements: no candidate admission, and the same sidecar command and
arguments.
- Recovery then runs unchanged. The provider-lifetime fence still
decides whether the conversation is restored or the lost turn is closed.
- **Relocated installs:** an upgrade can install the same launch files
under a new directory, as an `npx` versioned cache, a new image layout
or a new checkout does. The K14 harness moves between worktrees. The
re-bind now accepts a launch of the same shape: the same executable and
sidecar file names, and identical non-path arguments. It then records
this startup's runner-owned paths in the saved descriptor. A renamed
executable or a changed argument stays strict.
- An active turn or open session saved by a *different* run stays
strict, as before. So do suspended sessions with undelivered events, and
every qualified-release binding (ACPX, agent server and command digest).
- Tests (Rust, `acpx_provider_backend`):
-
`interrupted_turn_of_the_same_run_rebinds_to_the_upgraded_runner_launch_profile`:
red on master. An old-digest saved state with an active turn restores,
the digest is re-bound, and identity and command digest are kept.
-
`open_session_of_the_same_run_rebinds_to_the_upgraded_runner_launch_profile`:
restore gets past the saved-state check, to provider start.
- `saved_sessions_rebind_to_an_upgraded_build_installed_at_a_new_path`:
red on master and on the first fix, with the production error. It covers
an interrupted turn of the same run and a settled session attached by
the next run, both moved to a new install directory.
-
`interrupted_turn_after_upgrade_stays_strict_when_lost_turn_recovery_is_unsafe`:
each unsafe guard still fails with `provider_state_incompatible` and
leaves the saved state untouched.
- The existing strict tests for other runs are unchanged and still pass.
- `packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md`: documents the
extended re-bind.
- `tests/acpx_warm_attachment.rs`: the end-to-end test
`restores_a_turn_lost_to_a_runner_upgrade_under_the_new_launch_profile`,
from the Phase 2 session's parallel fix. It fails on master with the
production error and passes here.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib acpx_provider_backend`: 44
passed.
- The full `paperclip-runner-core` lib suite: 585 passed. The 3 failures
are timing-based `task_memory` kill-monitor tests on macOS; that file is
untouched (last changed 5 days ago). CI runs them on Linux.
- `cargo fmt --check`: clean.
- Live: the first K14 rerun, at 070365404e, still failed for 3 Claude
runs. The cause was the install path: the saved sidecar path pointed
into the old build's worktree. Fixed in 72e020e13b; a second K14 rerun
has been requested.

## Risks

- **The restored conversation runs on the new provider pack.** That is
already the case for re-bound suspended sessions. Session start still
verifies every artifact and the restored provider identity against the
qualified command digest. A changed upstream release still fails strict.
- **Old provider process.** For an active turn, lost-turn recovery waits
for the provider-lifetime fence before restoring. For an open session,
behavior matches the same-build restart, which reopens without the
fence.
- **A state that really is incompatible** (an upstream provider release
change):
- **Between turns**, the common upgrade case: the next run's checkpoint
carries `allow_replacement_after_resume_failure`, so the refusal opens a
fresh provider session automatically, with no Retry. A new test,
`continues in a fresh session when a new run's saved session is
incompatible…`, pins this in `native-session-runtime.test.ts`.
- **Mid-turn, same run:** this still stops for a board Retry, by design.
The effects of the lost turn are unknown, and the automatic replacement
sweep (`decideNativeReplacement`) only replaces a session when it has a
complete effect inventory.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 15b987d9b8 fix(runner): a finish or block waits for held calls before it is judged (#20108)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Restarts must be invisible to a task: an agent that was working
keeps working after the control plane comes back
> - Restart chaos t05 (Daytona warm wave, codex, K4 hold) ended a task
as blocked even though its document save succeeded
> - #20069 refuses a finish or block that the agent decided before it
saw results that had already returned. Here the results had not returned
yet when the block was checked: after the reattach, the held calls and
the later block are handled at the same time
> - This pull request makes a finish or block wait, for a bounded time,
for earlier calls of its turn that have not returned, and then apply the
same check
> - The benefit is that a controller outage during a Paperclip tool call
no longer turns into a false "blocked" task

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831 (durable ownership plan). Restart chaos wave
`w-20261108T192459-s9501`, task t05 (Daytona warm, codex, C1, K4 hold of
182 s, master c5a172a183, which includes #20069).

**Problem**

1. 19:37:01: the follow-up comment arrives. The agent reads the brief
and calls `write_document`.
2. 19:37:44 to 19:40:51: K4 hold. Codex keeps the call pending and
re-samples the model: "The save request is still pending", then
`read_document` (also pending), then `paperclip_block`.
3. 19:42:02, after the reattach: the controller recovers the held write
and read (`recoverPendingSemanticInputs`) while the Runner delivers the
block. The block reaches the check at seq ~331–334. The write's result,
with the FOLLOWUP line saved, is committed at seq 337. The check saw no
returned call, so the block was recorded and the issue rested `blocked`
with no Retry.

So held calls are answered after ready (the save succeeded, the brief
has the marker). The defect was the order in which the terminal call was
judged.

## What Changed

- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/live/terminal-call-freshness.ts`:
- `pendingEarlierToolCalls`: calls made before the terminal call that
have neither returned nor reached the agent;
- `settleEarlierToolCalls`: waits, bounded at 30 s
(`TERMINAL_CALL_SETTLE_TIMEOUT_MS`), until none is pending, then reports
which returned unseen and which are still pending;
- `staleTerminalCallResult` also names still-pending calls: "has not
returned yet. Wait for its result (do not repeat a write until it
returns)…", still `terminal_call_before_results`, retryable.
- `runnerd-codex-transport.ts`: before dispatching `paperclip_finish` or
`paperclip_block`, waits for those calls and re-checks session identity.
It refuses the terminal call if any earlier call returned unseen or is
still pending.
- Scope: `DurablePrpCodexTransport` serves Codex and ACPX on local, warm
Daytona and per-turn Daytona, so every path that reattaches to a
surviving Runner is covered. The wait applies only to terminal calls
with earlier unreturned calls, so it adds nothing before `turn.start`.
- Not covered: the external-driver path
(`drivers/external/runnerd-external-driver.ts`) has its own semantic
handler without either check. It is recorded as a campaign follow-up.

## Verification

Red/green:
- `runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts` "refuses a terminal call that
arrives before a held call's result (restart chaos t05)": the write is
started without a result, the block arrives, and the write's
`semantic_tool.result` lands 100 ms later.
- On master's transport and guard: fails, the block is dispatched
(`handler` called once).
- With this PR: the block is refused with
`terminal_call_before_results`, naming the returned write.
- `terminal-call-freshness.test.ts`: pending versus returned, a result
that lands during the wait, a call still pending after the bound, no
wait when everything was seen, and a session that goes away.
- Both files: 300 passed. `tsc --noEmit -p packages/paperclip-runner` is
clean.

Live: the crash point `runner.semantic_tool.after_input_before_dispatch`
(from #20069) holds K4 during a Paperclip tool call. A Daytona run
against this branch is requested from the slot owner after merge.

## Risks

- A finish or block made in the same model step as a write (parallel
tool calls) now waits for the write and is refused once, because the
agent had not seen the write's result. The agent calls it again after
reading the result: one extra model step in that case. #20069 already
behaved this way whenever the write returned first.
- A Paperclip call that never returns delays a terminal call by 30 s,
and the terminal call is refused. Recovery answers held calls after
ready or disconnects the Runner, so the refusal cannot repeat
indefinitely in practice.
- No schema or persisted run-state change.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 a8bbdf237c fix(runner): reopen the ACPX session at turn.start when it can be safely reopened (#20110)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native Claude ACPX run must survive restarts and suspensions. A
turn stopped for suspension drops the live ACPX session and leaves the
saved lifecycle `prepared`
> - The next `turn.start` checked for a live session before anything
else, so it failed with "ACPX session is not open". That happened even
though the saved session was safe to reopen
> - In restart chaos this made a Claude approval task (G1 t03) need a
Retry after repeated restores
> - This pull request makes `turn.start` reopen a reopenable session
before it starts the turn
> - The benefit is that a suspended or restored Claude run keeps going
on its own, with no Retry

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20089

**What happened?**
In a local restart-chaos G1 (approval) wave, Claude ACPX task t03 failed
after repeated restores with `ACPX session is not open` and needed a
Retry. The Retry overwrote the session directory, so the exact sequence
could not be read back. The same error reproduces directly with
`turn.stop` (suspension) followed by `turn.start` on the same session:
the stop clears the live session and sets the lifecycle to `prepared`,
and `turn.start` never reopens it.

**Expected behavior**
When the saved session can be reopened, `turn.start` reopens it, the
same way `session.open` does, and then starts the turn. "Can be
reopened" means: the conversation identity is recorded, the provider
exit is confirmed, the session belongs to this run, and the lifecycle is
`prepared`, `suspended` or `session_open`. A session that was closed on
purpose, or whose provider exit is unconfirmed, still fails.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. `run.prepare`, `session.open`, then `turn.start`.
2. `turn.stop` (suspension stop).
3. `turn.start` again. Before this change, it fails with "ACPX session
is not open".

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at f789f3e2af. Branch rebased on current master.

## What Changed

- `acpx_provider_backend.rs`: `turn.start` checks whether there is no
live session and the saved state is reopenable. If so, it reopens
through `open_session` first, and the reopen's `session.resumed` event
comes before the turn's events. The previous body moved unchanged into
`start_turn_in_open_session`.
- `tests/acpx_warm_attachment.rs`: a new test,
`reopens_the_conversation_for_a_turn_after_a_suspension_stop`. It drives
prepare, open, turn, stop, turn and expects the second turn to be
accepted with `session.resumed`. It also checks that after
`session.close`, `turn.start` still fails.

## Verification

- Red/green: the new test fails on master with "ACPX session is not
open" and passes with the change. `cargo test -p runner-core --test
acpx_warm_attachment`: 3/3 passed.
- I also ran the full `runner-core` crate suite. Five tests failed: four
`task_memory` monitor tests and `unconfirmed_suspension_state...`. Each
of them passes on an unchanged master checkout, and the ACPX one also
passes when rerun in this branch, so they are timing-dependent and not
caused by this change.

## Risks

- Low risk. A reopen happens only under the same conditions in which
`session.open` would already succeed for this run. A closed session and
an unconfirmed provider exit stay fail-closed. The order of events
changes only by adding `session.resumed` ahead of the turn's events.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), via Claude Code with tool use
(shell, file edits, test execution).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 a88e23fa34 fix(runner): read an uncommitted turn start as empty history when the event window is complete (#20107)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run must survive repeated control-plane restarts; each
restore reconciles the turn its checkpoint names as active
> - That reconciliation reads the turn's history. When the provider has
no paginated history, the runnerd transport rebuilds it from the
committed runner events
> - After back-to-back hard restarts, the checkpoint can name an
accepted turn whose start was never committed. The runner was killed
after journaling `turn.start` and before the provider emitted anything
> - The rebuild treated every missing start as lost history and failed
with `codex_history_incomplete`, so the task needed a Retry
> - This pull request treats a missing start as empty history when the
committed window is provably complete
> - The benefit is that a run survives back-to-back restores, as it
already survives one

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20074

**What happened?**
In restart-chaos wave w-20261108T200620-s9701 (local, K4/K6 + M1,
back-to-back K4 restores), three runs failed on the second restore. Two
were Claude ACPX C1 tasks; the third was an M1 parent with its subtask.
They failed with `native_session_recovery_failed:
HarnessReconciliationError: codex_history_read_failed: thread/items/list
requires supported paginated history; Error: codex_history_incomplete:
requested turn start is outside the retained runner event window`, and
each needed a Retry.

The sequence:
1. The first restore lost the in-flight turn and started a continuation
turn. ACPX echoes the requested turn id, so the checkpoint named it as
active.
2. Six seconds later a second K4 SIGKILL killed the runner. The runner
had journaled that `turn.start` (now `execution_indeterminate`), but the
provider had emitted nothing, so no `turn.started` was committed and the
runner outbox was empty.
3. On the second restore, `thread/items/list` for that turn hit the
guard, although the committed window was complete: source sequences
1–25, nothing evicted.

**Expected behavior**
The second restore treats the never-started turn like the first restore
treated its lost turn. The runner reports it lost on restore, and
recovery starts a continuation with no Retry.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Have a checkpoint name an accepted turn whose `turn.started` was
never committed. For example, kill the runner after `turn.start` and
before the provider emits anything.
2. Restore the session. Before this change, recovery fails with
`codex_history_incomplete`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at 88835e624a plus #20094 (the wave). Branch rebased on current
master.

## What Changed

- `runnerd-codex-transport.ts`: a new
`committedEventWindowComplete(state)`. It is true only when the
committed events are exactly source sequences 1 to `ackedSourceSeq`:
none missing, none duplicated, none evicted.
- In the `thread/items/list` fallback, a turn with no committed start
returns empty history when the window is complete. Otherwise it still
throws `codex_history_incomplete`.

## Verification

- Red/green connected test in `runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts`:
"starts a new turn when the checkpoint names an accepted turn whose
start was never committed". It uses the real runnerd and the fake Codex
server, and holds the provider start with `--turn-started-gate`.
  - Without the change, it fails with the exact production error.
  - With the change, the run completes on a continuation turn.
- Unit test: `committedEventWindowComplete` is false for a gap, a
missing first event, duplicates and no state.
- `npx vitest run` over every Codex, restart and recovery test file in
`packages/paperclip-runner`: 45 files, 1158 tests passed.
- `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm typecheck`
(`packages/paperclip-runner`): passed.

## Risks

- Low risk. The empty history applies only when every acknowledged event
is still retained, so no event of that turn can have existed and been
dropped. Any evicted or gapped window keeps failing closed.
- Known gap, recorded as a follow-up: if eviction did remove events of a
turn the checkpoint still names, recovery still fails closed. The
planned fix is to never evict events of an unresolved checkpointed turn.

(shell, file edits, test execution).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 3bf51913ef fix(daytona): gzip transport compression for sandbox images without zstd (#20104)
## Thinking Path

- Per-turn remote sandboxes are the default, so every remote turn
uploads the workspace into a fresh Daytona sandbox.
- The Daytona plugin compresses large uploads with zstd, but only when
the sandbox has a `zstd` binary. Without one, the upload goes raw: 220
MB for the paperclip seed.
- The default Paperclip runner image has zstd, so it is already covered.
A sandbox image without zstd is not: for example a user-supplied
`config.snapshot` built on plain `debian:bookworm`. Such an image still
has gzip.
- This adds gzip as a fallback codec for those images. It is a
robustness fallback, not a speedup for the default image.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20100

**What happened?**
On a Daytona sandbox image without a `zstd` binary, every remote turn
uploads the workspace seed uncompressed. Measured live with the
paperclip seed: raw takes 18.6–28.8 s, against 6.1–16.0 s compressed.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use a Daytona snapshot whose image has gzip but no zstd.
2. Run a remote task on a large repository and inspect the `transfer`
span: there is no `transfer.compression.codec` attribute, and the full
raw size is uploaded.

**Expected behavior**
Large workspace tarballs are compressed in transit whenever the sandbox
can decompress them.

## What Changed

- `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/src/file-sync.ts`:
- The existing availability probe (the same round trip as `mkdir`) also
reports `gzip`.
- Codec choice: zstd when the sandbox has it and Node supports it
(unchanged), otherwise gzip, otherwise raw (unchanged).
- gzip runs at level 1. On the 220 MB paperclip seed it produces 69.6 MB
in 1.26 s on the host; zstd -3 produces 57.6 MB in 0.54 s.
- In the sandbox, gzip decompresses with `gzip -dc -- <scratch> > <raw
scratch>`. It reuses the existing explicit `chmod`, atomic `mv -f`,
failure sweep, private host temp directory, and minimum-saving fallback.
- A failed or partial decompress exits 49, the raw scratch is never
promoted, and every scratch file is swept. The workspace sentinel and
`baselineSha256` checks still run before `turn.start`.
- The `transfer.compression.codec` span attribute is now `zstd` or
`gzip` (still a closed set).
- Tests in `file-sync.test.ts` (red on master):
- A real shell promotion on a sandbox that reports no zstd: the upload
is `.gz` and under half the size, `gzip -dc` runs, and the target is
byte-identical with mode 0600 and no scratch left.
- A truncated gzip upload fails the sync, never creates the target, and
leaves no scratch.
- Codec preference: zstd when both are present, gzip when only gzip is,
raw when neither is.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run` in `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona`: all
pass. The existing zstd suite runs on this host because it has zstd.
- `tsc --noEmit -p packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona`: clean.
- Live Daytona run on the runner image, 2 vCPU, 220 MB seed, through the
real `performSyncIn` with each codec forced through the probe. The
sha256 matched every time.

  | Codec | Times |
  |---|---|
  | raw | 28.8 s, 18.6 s, 20.2 s, 22.8 s |
  | zstd | 6.9 s, 6.1 s, 16.0 s, 8.5 s |
  | gzip | 9.8 s, 16.8 s |

Network variance is large. Both codecs roughly halve the raw upload or
better.

## Risks

- **Host CPU:** about 1.3 s of streamed gzip per large upload, on the
libuv thread pool, and only when the sandbox lacks zstd. Files under 8
MB, or that save less than 10%, still go raw.
- **No compressor at all:** a sandbox without gzip or zstd uploads raw,
as today.
- **Probe caching:** the probe runs on every sync, on the `mkdir` round
trip it already makes, so it adds no latency. It stays uncached,
following the existing design's rule that one principal's observation is
never reused for another.
- **Observability:** one new value, `gzip`, in an existing closed-set
span attribute. The endpoint gate is unchanged.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 015d3d0a7c fix(environments): tear down retain-on-failure sandboxes when their environment is deleted (#20085)
## Thinking Path

- Remote sandboxes cost money while they exist, so every sandbox
Paperclip keeps must have an owner and an end.
- Two lease policies keep a sandbox after its run.
`reuse_by_environment` keeps a warm sandbox for the next turn.
`retain_on_failure` keeps a failed run's sandbox, stopped, as a
workspace-restore source.
- Environment deletion is the last chance to end both: with the
operator's consent it destroys the environment's kept sandboxes,
otherwise it refuses.
- It only looked at `reuse_by_environment`. A `retain_on_failure`
sandbox neither blocked the delete nor got destroyed, so it was orphaned
the moment its environment was deleted.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20048

**What happened?**
In Daytona warm wave w-20261108T170423-s9501, the harness deleted the
environment after grading. Three stopped sandboxes (4e20c8b3, abf0980b,
5e49c561) remained afterwards and had to be deleted by hand through the
Daytona API. All three belonged to `retain_on_failure` leases: failed
runs' sandboxes kept as workspace-restore sources.

**This leaks on master today, with per-turn sandboxes too.** The four
leases in that wave carried `workspaceRestoreRecovery` from
`legacy-workspace-restore-recovery.ts` (no `nativeSourceRetention`
marker). That writer turns any failed run's lease with a
workspace-restore failure into a `retain_on_failure` restore source,
whether the environment is warm or per-turn. Every such sandbox has been
surviving environment deletion and costing money until deleted by hand.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. A run in a sandbox environment fails, and its lease is released as a
`retain_on_failure` restore source (sandbox stopped, not destroyed).
2. Delete the environment with `destroyReusableSandboxLeases=true`.
3. The delete succeeds; the restore-source sandbox is never destroyed
and has no lease or environment left to find it by.

**Expected behavior**
The delete blast radius counts kept restore-source sandboxes like
reusable ones. Without consent, the delete is refused; with consent,
they are destroyed through the same claimed teardown before the
environment row is removed.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/environments.ts`: `getDeleteBlastRadius` counts
leases with policy `reuse_by_environment` **or `retain_on_failure`**
(status `active`, `released`, `retained` or `failed`) as kept-sandbox
holders. The blocked reason is still `reusable_sandbox_lease`.
- `server/src/services/environment-runtime.ts`:
`destroyReusableSandboxLeasesForEnvironment` selects both policies. It
claims through `destroyClaimedSandboxLease` with `anyLeasePolicy` plus a
scope condition limited to those two policies, keeping its existing
guards: live-run skip, pending export, legacy shutdown protection, and
the claim compare-and-swap.
- `server/src/__tests__/environment-runtime.test.ts`: a released
`retain_on_failure` lease on a failed run now blocks the delete and is
destroyed by the consented teardown (`expired`, `environment_deleted`).
This fails on master.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/environment-runtime.test.ts
src/__tests__/environment-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts`: 347/347 pass.
- The new test fails on master: the blast radius reports no kept
sandbox.

## Risks

- **A delete now refused that used to succeed.** An environment holding
restore-source sandboxes is refused until the operator consents to
destroying them. That is the intended behaviour; it was silently leaking
them before.
- **Losing restore files.** The consented delete destroys restore
sources, which is what the operator agreed to by deleting the
environment. Leases with a pending export or legacy shutdown protection
are still skipped and keep blocking.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 a9ae1b69c3 fix(runner): let a finish through after a restart lost the provider turn (#20088)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Runner relays an agent's Paperclip tool calls and keeps them
across control-plane restarts
> - #20069 refuses a `paperclip_finish` or `paperclip_block` decided
before an earlier returned result reached the agent
> - The guard filters by turn id, but each committed event carries the
run's one identity turn id, so provider turns are not separated
> - When a restart loses a provider turn, a call of that turn gets its
result but never its provider completion
> - The guard then refuses every later finish of the run, so the run
exhausts its retries and the user must click Retry
> - This pull request makes a new provider turn end the pending calls of
the previous turn
> - The benefit is that an agent can finish after a restart that lost
its turn

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20069

**What happened?**
A restart chaos storm (local, Codex, A1/C1, K2 drains for 30 minutes,
116 tasks) had one failure. Task t110 needed a user Retry. Its run was
drained twice. The first drain lost the provider turn while a
`read_agent_instructions` call was pending. After that, all four
`paperclip_finish` calls failed with `terminal_call_before_results` and
named `read_agent_instructions`. The run ended with
`native_session_retry_exhausted`.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a Codex run that calls a Paperclip tool.
2. Drain the control plane while that call is pending, so the Runner
restores the session and reports `provider_turn_lost_on_restore`.
3. Let the agent continue in the new turn and call `paperclip_finish`.

**Expected behavior**
The finish is recorded. The lost call belongs to a turn that the agent
will not see again.

**Actual behavior**
The Runner refuses every finish with `terminal_call_before_results`. The
run fails and needs a user Retry.

## What Changed

- `unseenReturnedToolCalls` forgets the calls it tracked when a
`turn.started` event begins a new provider turn.
- A new test reproduces the t110 event order: a call in a lost turn,
then a new turn that reads, sees its result, and finishes.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/live/terminal-call-freshness.test.ts` in
`packages/paperclip-runner`: the new test fails before the change and
passes after it (7/7).
- `npx vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts -t terminal`:
10 passed.
- `tsc --noEmit -p packages/paperclip-runner`: clean.
- Evidence: the kept Runner control-plane state of t110 shows the call
`exec-0f3d1b90` (generation 1) with a `semantic_tool.result` command but
no `tool.execution.completed`, followed by `turn.failed
provider_turn_lost_on_restore` and new `turn.started` events.

## Risks

- The t03 case of #20069 stays covered: the stale block and the earlier
calls are in the same provider turn, with no `turn.started` between
them. The existing t03 tests still pass.
- If a driver emits `turn.started` inside one provider turn, the guard
can miss a stale call of that turn. No current driver does that.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 4f7eee10c2 feat(recovery): let the board confirm an unrecorded owner stopped for every settling process kind (#20084)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Recovery releases in-progress records (leases, claims, intents) only
when it can prove their owner is gone
> - A record saved before its server process was fully recorded is
`unprovable`, and it is never released on its own
> - #20067 added a board-only action to confirm that such an owner
stopped, but only the environment run lease used it
> - Other settling kinds (for example the legacy controller lease, which
shows `missing_identity` rows in the Phase 2 reconciler data) stay stuck
with no way forward
> - This pull request opens the same confirmation to every settling kind
whose record names a partly recorded server process
> - The benefit is that an operator can release these stuck records
safely, and recovery settles them at once

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20067, #20054

**What happened?**
The Phase 2 reconciler data shows `legacy_controller_lease` records that
stay `unprovable` with `missing_identity`: they were saved before
Paperclip stored the controller's PID space. Recovery never releases an
unprovable owner, and only the environment run lease offered the board's
"confirm the previous server stopped" action. These records, and records
of other settling kinds saved the same way, had no path forward.

Also, a board confirmation did not wake the reconciler. Unprovable
records are not watched, so the release waited for some unrelated pass.

**Expected behavior**
Recovery asks the board on the record's task. After the board confirms,
recovery releases the record through the kind's own compare-and-swap
settle, at once. A confirmation never releases a record that changed
since the board was asked.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Have a legacy run whose `controller_process` was recorded without a
host hash (an older server).
2. Run the ownership reconciliation pass. The record is `unprovable`
(`missing_identity`) and no board action appears.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at c55af26821.

## What Changed

- `ownership-registry.ts`: a new `ownerGoneAttestable` helper opts a
settling kind in. The kind asks the board (cause
`ownership_owner_unprovable`) only for a process-owned record that is
unprovable for a legacy reason and has a version. Opted in:
`legacy_controller_lease`, `environment_teardown_claim`,
`sandbox_creation_intent`, `workspace_runtime_control_operation`,
`native_workspace_finalize_attempt`, `native_finalizer_lease`,
`native_cleanup_lease`.
- `owner-gone-attestation.ts`:
- The request records the record version (`recordUpdatedAt`), and each
pass refreshes an open request to the current version.
- The board submits the version it was shown (`recordVersion`, a new
optional field in `confirmOwnerGoneSchema`). The confirmation is refused
with 409 unless that equals the request's current version and the locked
record's version.
- `recordVersionAttestations` reads back every resolved confirmation.
Any one that names the record's current version applies.
- `confirmOwnerGone` now wakes the ownership reconciler in its
transaction.
- Each opted-in kind has a version lock. For an `operator_attested`
proof, its settle runs in a transaction that locks the record row and
re-checks the confirmed version before the kind's own compare-and-swap.
- `ownership-invariant-report.ts`: in the periodic pass and in one-shot
settles, a matching confirmation turns a legacy `unprovable` verdict
into `gone` (`operator_attested`). A live or provable owner always wins.
The extra read runs only when a kind has such a record.
- `WorkspaceExportRecovery.tsx`: the board's confirmation names the
stuck record by kind (for example "This task's earlier run"), with a
generic fallback, and sends the version it showed.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`:
- It describes the action, the version binding and which kinds are
offered.
- It updates the controller-lease section to match #20054: the holdings
list, and that the lease is off only on Railway deployments with an
exclusive volume.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run src/__tests__/owner-gone-attestation.test.ts`
(server): 10/10. The new legacy-controller cases fail without the
change:
  - the board is asked, and nothing is released before the confirmation;
- the confirmation wakes the reconciler, and the next pass settles the
record as `operator_attested`;
- a record that changed after the confirmation is not released, and a
fresh request is raised;
- a record of these kinds with no owner stamp is not offered, because
its settle could never release it;
- a confirmation for a version the record no longer has is refused, and
the refreshed request then applies;
- a write between the reconciler's listing and its settle stops the
release inside the settle's transaction.
- The 10 server ownership suites (registry, report, owner proof,
controller lease, legacy controller, teardown, finalize, token leases):
332/332.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/components/WorkspaceExportRecovery.control.test.tsx` (ui): 48/48.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: all gates clean.
- `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm typecheck` in `server` and
`ui`: passed.

## Risks

- A wrong release would be serious. The safeguards:
- The confirmation applies only while the record's last-write time
equals the one the board was asked about, and only while the prover
still finds the recorded process unprovable for a legacy reason.
- Each kind's settle still compare-and-swaps on the exact recorded
process.
- A record of these kinds with no owner stamp at all is not offered.
Those settles cannot release it, so it keeps its existing recovery path.
- Kinds that are unowned by design (queued pending cleanup, accounting
debt) are not offered.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c55af26821 fix(runner): treat a replayed start of a turn lost on restore as history (t48) (#20074)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native Codex run must survive a control-plane restart and continue
its work
> - #20057 made recovery adopt an in-flight turn, or start a new turn
when the restored runner reports the old turn lost
> - One case was not covered. A graceful drain can detach the controller
after the runner accepted `turn.start` but before the provider started
the turn
> - The runner then records the provider's `turn.started` while no
controller is attached. After a restart it replays that start, and the
Codex session rejects it as an unexpected turn
> - This pull request treats that replayed start as history from the
earlier generation
> - The benefit is that the run starts its continuation turn instead of
stopping with `native_event_replay_conflict`

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20057

**What happened?**
A restart chaos wave ended with one failed task (t48, Codex). A graceful
SIGTERM suspended the controller 300 ms after the runner accepted
`turn.start`. The provider's `turn.started` came after the controller
detached. Recovery classified the run as `resume_dead_runner`. The
restored runner reported the turn as `provider_turn_lost_on_restore`,
which is correct. But it also replayed the undelivered `turn.started`.
The Codex session failed with "Provider started an unexpected turn."
(`turn_binding_mismatch`), and recovery stopped with
`native_event_replay_conflict`.

**Expected behavior**
Recovery starts a new continuation turn. The replayed start of the lost
turn is recorded as history, and the run completes.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a Codex native run.
2. Detach the controller gracefully after the runner accepts
`turn.start` and before the provider emits `turn/started`.
3. Let the runner record `turn.started` while it is unattached, then
kill the runner and the provider.
4. Restore the run. Before this change, the session fails with
`turn_binding_mismatch`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at a9cf4ee731 (the wave ran on 66a2cbab98).

## What Changed

- `codex-app-server-driver-impl.ts`: recovery identifies the turn that
this run's latest `turn.start` had the runner accept, when recovery did
not adopt it and provider history does not show it live. Recovery passes
it to the session as `lostAcceptedTurnId`.
- `codex-session-state.ts`: the session keeps `lostAcceptedTurnId` as an
unconfirmed lost turn. The stale-event rule treats its replayed start
and items as history.
- `codex-session-notifications.ts`: `turn/started` applies the
stale-event rule to earlier-generation and unconfirmed lost turns. The
runner's restart-loss terminal confirms the lost turn. Any other
terminal, or a semantic result, from that turn fails closed, so a real
outcome is never dropped. A start for a turn that this generation
settled, or for a turn the session never saw, still fails closed.
- `runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts`: a new connected test with the
real runner and the fake Codex server reproduces the t48 shape. A new
fake option, `--turn-started-gate`, holds the provider's start until the
test detaches the controller, so the test does not depend on timing.
- `codex-app-server-driver.terminal-replay.test.ts`: driver tests for
the replayed start (history), and for an ordinary failure or a result
from the lost turn (fail closed).

## Verification

- Red: before the fix, the new test failed with
`NativeProviderTerminalFailure: Provider started an unexpected turn.` at
`codex-harness-session.ts:211`. This is the same error and stack as the
chaos run.
- Green: `npx vitest run src/drivers/codex
src/live/runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts` (in
`packages/paperclip-runner`) passed 392 of 392.
- The wider Codex, restart and recovery test files (45 files, 1153
tests) passed on the final revision. The two fail-closed driver tests
fail on the first revision, where the lost turn's outcome was dropped as
history. The one failure in an earlier run ("still rejects history for a
turn that became terminal in the live session") showed that the first
version was too broad. The rule now applies only to earlier-generation
turns, and that test passes.
- `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm typecheck` in
`packages/paperclip-runner` passed.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change only applies after a restore, to a turn that the
runner accepted for this run's latest `turn.start`, and only when
recovery did not adopt that turn and provider history does not show it
in progress.
- A turn that the session never saw still fails closed. A re-start of a
turn this generation settled still fails closed. A real failure or a
result from the lost turn fails closed instead of being dropped.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e8a3f1f6f2 feat(recovery): prove a replaced container's records gone through a fenced controller epoch (#20054)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - After a restart, the control plane settles in-progress records
(leases, claims, intents) only once it proves their owner process is
gone
> - The proof compares host and PID space, so a stamp from a replaced
container or a rebooted machine stays unprovable forever, and its
records never settle
> - Self-hosted users on Docker, Kubernetes and Fly hit this on every
redeploy; a Railway deployment with an exclusive volume is covered by
`deployment_replaced` (#20026)
> - This pull request adds a fenced controller epoch: each boot holds a
database lease, and an expired boot is fenced so its records can be
proven gone
> - The benefit is that work stranded by a replaced container is
recovered, without keeping an idle database awake

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Follow-up to #20026 and the Phase 2 durable-ownership data. Related:
#19965 (owner stamps), #19883 (process space). No duplicate PR was
found.

**What happened?**

A record stamped by a server process in another container reports
`different_process_space`. A dead PID elsewhere is never proof, so the
record stays `unprovable` and is never settled. Every redeploy of a
self-hosted container leaves such records behind.

**Expected behavior**

A record owned by a server boot that was replaced (stopped cleanly, or
lost its lease and was fenced) is proven gone and settled exactly once.
A live boot's records stay with it. An idle server issues no recurring
queries.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run Paperclip in a container and start work, so an environment lease
is stamped by that boot.
2. Replace the container. The new container has a new PID namespace.
3. The ownership reconciler reports `different_process_space`
(unprovable) for the old lease, forever.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` before this PR.

## What Changed

- New `controller_instances` table (migration 0449): boot id, epoch
(bigserial), process space, pid, a lease on the database clock,
`fenced_at` / `fenced_by_epoch`, `stopped_at`.
- `controller-instance-lease.ts`, registered with the shared
delivery-work coordinator (`controller-instance-lease` queue, runs
during drain):
- **Holds work → renews; idle → silent.** One upsert creates the row on
first use and extends the lease only if the boot holds work: a stamp
within the last 90 s, or a stamp whose ownership write may still be
pending (held until the server's tracked work settles, capped at 10
minutes; a renewal that sees some other held record does not clear it,
so a slow ownership write cannot be outlived), or an in-progress record
held by its boot id. Those records are active environment leases,
in-flight cleanup claims, sandbox creation intents, workspace finalize
attempts, agent lifecycle steps, native finalizer and cleanup leases
(`lease_holder` bound to the token), open native coordinator claims, and
running legacy runs. Renewal runs every 30 s while the boot holds work.
When it finds none, the lease lapses and the worker sleeps until the
next stamp (`onControllerStamp`).
- **No idle trailing statements.** When the server's last tracked work
settles, the worker re-checks holdings at once, at most every 5 s (the
rate limit also absorbs the worker's own run). So the last check happens
with the work, not 30 s later.
- **Quiesce, don't crash.** Each renewal has a 10 s bound. A failed or
timed-out renewal applies an internal task drain, so no new work is
dispatched. A recovered renewal resumes. The boot exits only after 60 s
of failure (counted from the first failed attempt's start) while it
still holds work, or at once when it finds itself fenced.
- **Fence on demand, by a newer epoch.** For a stamp from another host
or PID space, the prover reads that boot's row:
    - `stopped` or `fenced`: gone.
    - live lease: alive.
- otherwise, the boot's last sign of life is the later of its lease
expiry and the record's last write plus the TTL. Within 30 s of that,
the owner stays `alive` (`controller_lease_grace`), so the settle watch
keeps rechecking. After that, the prover fences the boot, but only with
a lease row of its own (created on demand) and only an older epoch.
  - A graceful shutdown records `stopped_at`.
- A reconciliation pass that settles nothing (`record: false` or
`settle: false`) never fences and never creates the boot's row.
- `owner-proof.ts`: these proofs apply only to server-held records. A
stamp with a recorded process group stays unprovable, because agent
processes can outlive their server. The reconciler passes each record's
`updatedAt` to the proof.
- `task-admission.ts`:
- the quiesce drain never replaces an operator's drain, and has no idle
owner, so HTTP stays open;
- a `subscribeIdleWorkSettled` hook fires when the last tracked work
finishes.
- Off on a Railway deployment with an exclusive volume (it has its own
replacement proof). `PAPERCLIP_CONTROLLER_INSTANCE_LEASE=on|off`
overrides this. A stateless Railway service keeps the lease. A server
without its own lease row never fences.
- `maintenance-server-routes.test.ts`: in the post-run quiet window, the
lease may check once more that the run's records were released. The test
now excludes those statements, then asserts that the lease issues
nothing in a further window.
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md`; the Phase 2 data doc records the
two known gaps.

## Verification

- `controller-instance-lease.test.ts` (15 cases):
- a replaced container with all Railway variables empty is fenced and
settled exactly once over two passes;
  - a live lease is alive;
- an owner in grace, and work written after an idle lapse, stay alive
and watched;
  - an older epoch never fences a newer one;
- no fencing without its own lease row (off or unregistered), and an
idle prover creates its row on demand;
  - a stopped boot is gone;
  - process-group stamps stay unprovable;
- idle issues zero statements, and one upsert renews only while records
are held;
  - **a 45 s outage:** quiesced, no exit, resumes;
- **a renewal that never answers:** bounded, and the boot exits on time;
- **a 70 s outage:** exits at 60–65 s, and the successor recovers the
work exactly once;
  - fenced: stops;
  - the settle re-check;
- graceful stop; off on a volume-exclusive Railway deployment, on for a
stateless one, and the on/off override;
  - a running legacy run keeps the lease live.
- Red, with the proof's instance check removed: the replaced-container,
live, stopped and successor cases fail.
- Wider: task-drain, idle-sleep, idle-local-work, owner-proof and
ownership suites, plus the maintenance quiet-window tests. Server
low-memory typecheck is clean.

## Risks

- **Clock skew.** The proof compares a record's `updatedAt` (often the
writer's clock) with the lease (database clock). The 30 s grace absorbs
ordinary skew.
- **A new exit path exists.** A server whose database is unreachable for
more than 60 s while it holds work now exits, after first quiescing.
This is the intended safety backstop.
- **Bounded trailing activity.** A lease that holds work issues one
statement every 30 s, plus at most one check when its work settles. An
idle server issues none.
- **Boots from before this release** have no row, and their records stay
unprovable. The board "mark owner gone" action for those follows in a
separate PR.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 f679cf81dc fix(runner): refuse a finish or block decided before earlier results reached the agent (#20069)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Restarts must be invisible to a task: an agent that was working
keeps working after the control plane comes back
> - Restart chaos t03 (Daytona warm wave, K4 holds) ended a task as
blocked even though its document was saved
> - The cause is in how a terminal decision (paperclip_block or
paperclip_finish) is handled after a long controller outage, not in how
the Runner journals tool calls
> - This pull request refuses a terminal call that the agent made before
it had seen results that already returned, so the agent continues with
those results
> - The benefit is that a controller outage no longer turns into a false
"blocked" task

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Restart chaos t03, wave `w-20261108T142906-s9501` (Daytona, codex, A1,
three back-to-back K4 holds of 136 s, 252 s and 152 s). Refs #19831
(durable ownership plan).

**What happened**

The kept instance's run log shows the order of events:
1. The turn is accepted at 14:29:57. The runner then delivers nothing to
the controller until 14:39:27. The holds keep the controller down, and
the Runner keeps Codex's `item/tool/call` requests until it is
reattached.
2. During that outage Codex keeps running. Its `write_document` call
stays pending. The model is sampled again about once a minute and says
"The save request is also waiting on Paperclip". It then calls
`paperclip_block`, with the reason `tool_unavailable`.
3. After the reattach the Runner delivers the backlog in order.
`write_document` runs and returns (the document is created: sourceSeq
152). Then the stale block arrives (sourceSeq 247) before Codex has
acknowledged the write result: there is no `tool.execution.completed`
for it before the block. The task ends blocked.

**Codex behavior, checked directly** against the pinned Codex 0.160
app-server. A local probe sent one dynamic tool call and left it
unanswered:
- Codex does not time out. It re-samples the model at about 60 s and 127
s ("The save call is still waiting to return").
- A reply sent 130 s later is accepted (`durationMs` 130003), and the
model finishes ("DONE").

So the reply is not lost. The agent's terminal decision was made without
it.

**Expected behavior**
- A terminal call decided while earlier Paperclip results were still
unseen is refused with a retryable error.
- The agent continues with those results. In t03 it would see that the
document was saved, and finish.

## What Changed

- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/live/terminal-call-freshness.ts`:
`unseenReturnedToolCalls` reads the turn's committed run events up to
the terminal call. It returns each dynamic call that has a returned
`tool_result` but no provider `tool.execution.completed`.
`staleTerminalCallResult` builds the retryable
`terminal_call_before_results` error, which names those calls.
- `runnerd-codex-transport.ts` `#handleSemanticToolInput`: when such
calls exist, `paperclip_finish` and `paperclip_block` get that error
instead of being dispatched. The recovery path after a restart uses the
same handler. A long-running call with no result yet does not count.
- Crash point `runner.semantic_tool.after_input_before_dispatch`, just
before the controller dispatches a dynamic tool call. A crash-point hold
(`--hold-ms`, `--crash-point-hold-ms`; a K4-style receipt) keeps the
controller down after the self-kill. Together they reproduce t03 on
Daytona.

## Verification

- Red/green: `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts -t "refuses a terminal call
decided"`.
- The case `seen: false` failed on master: the handler was called and
the stale block was dispatched. It passes with the fix.
- The case `seen: true` (the agent saw the result first) dispatches
normally, both before and after.
- `npx vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts`: 289 passed.
`src/live/terminal-call-freshness.test.ts`: 5 passed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/paperclip-runner` passes, and `node
scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs tests/restart-chaos` passes.
- Shared registry: 15 passed. Call-site test: 3 passed. Chaos runner
tests: 12 passed.
- Codex probe (local, about 2.5 min per run): reproduced the "still
waiting" re-sampling and the accepted late reply described above.
- Not yet run: the Daytona crash-point repro with a hold. It needs the
shared harness slot, and I'll add the result here. The fix is controller
TypeScript, which is not an input of the Daytona image, so the current
image still matches.

## Risks

- A refused terminal call costs the agent one more turn step. It applies
only when a result returned that the agent had not seen, which in
practice happens only after a controller outage.
- The check reads committed run events. If the store evicted the earlier
call's events, it finds nothing and keeps today's behavior.
- Upgrade-safe run state: no persisted shape changes. The check reads
events the Runner already commits. A run saved by the previous release
resumes with the same history and the same answer.
- ACPX and other providers emit no dynamic `tool.execution.*` events, so
the check is a no-op for them.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 0746d1203d feat(recovery): let the board confirm that an unrecorded owner stopped (#20067)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - After a restart, recovery releases an in-progress record only once
its owner is proven gone, never by age
> - A run lease saved before owners were stamped has no owner Paperclip
can judge on an ephemeral (multi-host) server, so it stays stuck and
holds its run's sandbox forever
> - Only a person can tell that the previous server stopped (for
example, its container was replaced)
> - This pull request asks the board on the stuck task and lets an owner
confirm the stop, with an activity-log entry; recovery then releases the
record on its normal path
> - The benefit is that legacy stuck records have a way out that never
guesses

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Follow-up to the Phase 2 durable-ownership work: #20054 (controller
instance lease) and #19883 (process-space recording). It generalizes the
existing "confirm the previous server stopped" action for native
controllers (`native_controller_host_unverified`). No duplicate PR was
found.

**What happened?**

On an ephemeral server, an active run lease of a finished run that was
saved before holders were stamped has no owner stamp. The ownership
reconciler reports it `unprovable (no_owner_stamp)` and never settles
it. No operator action exists, so the lease and its sandbox stay
reserved.

**Expected behavior**

The task shows the stuck resource, and a board owner can confirm that
the previous server stopped. Recovery then releases the lease. Agents
and operators without the owner-stop permission cannot.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run with `PAPERCLIP_EPHEMERAL_SERVER=true`.
2. Have an active environment lease with no `leaseController` stamp,
whose run is terminal.
3. Run an ownership reconciliation pass. The lease stays `unprovable`
with no action on the task.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` before this PR.

## What Changed

- `packages/shared`: `confirmOwnerGoneSchema` (`actionId`, `recordId`,
`stopEvidence` of 20 to 12000 characters).
- `recovery/owner-gone-attestation.ts`:
- `requestOwnerGoneConfirmation(kind)` is an `onUnprovable` hook. For a
legacy unprovable owner (`no_owner_stamp`, `process_space_unrecorded`,
`missing_identity`) on a record that has a task, it opens one idempotent
board recovery action on that task (cause `ownership_owner_unprovable`).
- `confirmOwnerGone(...)` verifies the exact action and record. It asks
the kind to write the attestation (compare-and-swap), resolves the
action, and writes an `issue.ownership_owner_gone_confirmed`
activity-log entry with the actor and the stated evidence.
- Ownership registry:
  - `OwnableKind.attestOwnerGone` is a new optional hook.
- `environment_run_lease_active` implements it: only an unstamped active
lease of a terminal run, with the notification for the cleanup path.
- The lease's owner then reads `operator_attested`, which proves gone,
so the existing settle releases it. A holder stamped since the board was
asked owns the lease, and its stamp decides.
- Route: `POST /api/issues/<built-in function
id>/recovery-actions/confirm-owner-gone`. It uses `assertBoard` plus
`runtime:confirm_owner_stop`, the same board-only permission as
confirm-controller-stopped. It is registered in OpenAPI.
- UI: `issuesApi.confirmOwnerGone`. The task's recovery card shows the
existing `PreviousServerStopConfirmation` for this cause, with
resource-specific wording; owners confirm and operators see the wait.
`isPreviousServerStopCause` includes the cause, so the generic card does
not offer other resolutions.

## Verification

- `owner-gone-attestation.test.ts`:
  - the stuck lease opens one board action on the task;
- confirmation resolves the action, writes the activity log, and the
next pass settles the lease (`operator_attested`) exactly once;
  - a mismatched record is refused with 409;
- a holder stamped after the ask is refused and the lease stays active;
  - no action for a judgeable owner or for a record with no task.
- Red, with the `onUnprovable` hook removed: 2 of 3 fail.
- UI: `WorkspaceExportRecovery.control.test.tsx` checks that the owner
confirms with the right payload and that an operator sees the wait
without the control (47/47).
- Server suites: openapi-routes, ownership and recovery suites, plus the
existing native-controller-host recovery. Low-memory server typecheck is
clean; `check:token-gates` is clean.

## Risks

- The board can attest a server stopped that is in fact running. The
action and the UI copy ask for the evidence, and the activity log
records who attested what. This is the same trust model as
confirm-controller-stopped.
- Only run leases opt in so far. Records without a task (login/probe
leases) keep the legacy idle sweep.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 66a2cbab98 fix(runner): adopt the in-flight Codex turn after a restart lands just after turn.start (#20057)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native Codex run survives a server restart by resuming its durable
provider session and adopting the turn that was in flight
> - The adoption rule (RC-59) only adopts a turn named by the latest
`turn.start` command's accepted result
> - Two gaps made it fail. A restart just after `turn.start` leaves that
command `execution_indeterminate` (the runner died after journaling it).
Separately, the rule demanded that Codex echo the requested turn id,
which it never does.
> - The restored session then rejected Codex's own in-flight turn as
unexpected, and the user's Retry failed on the first click
> - This pull request adopts exactly the turn the runner reconciled for
that ambiguous start, and accepts Codex's own turn ids
> - The benefit is that a restart landing right after a turn starts no
longer costs the user a second Retry

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Found by the restart-chaos campaign: wave `w-20261108T134237-s9401`,
task t77 (Codex C1), Retry run `5358f1cb`. Related: #19852 (fast
follow-up turns), RC-59 adoption. No duplicate PR was found.

**What happened?**

The Retry run submitted its first turn at 14:05:25.171. A K2 SIGTERM
followed at .690 (graceful drain, then `resume_dead_runner`).
- The runner had journaled the `turn.start` and then died, so on restore
it settled the command as `failed / execution_indeterminate`.
- The runner's restored Codex session reconciled the ambiguous start to
the live replacement turn (`session.reconciled`,
`activeProviderTurnId`).
- Codex then sent `turn/started` for that turn. The restored driver had
no active or pending turn, because `controllerAcceptedTurnId()` was
null, and failed with `turn_binding_mismatch`.
- The run ended `native_event_replay_conflict`, and the user needed a
second Retry.

**Expected behavior**

The restored session adopts the runner-reconciled in-flight turn and
finishes it. It does not treat it as a replay conflict.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native Codex run.
2. Send SIGTERM to the server about 0.5 s after the first `turn.start`,
before runnerd confirms it.
3. Let the server restart and resume the run (`resume_dead_runner`).
4. Before this PR, the run fails with "Provider started an unexpected
turn."

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` before this PR.

## What Changed

- `controllerAcceptedTurnStartId(commands, options)`
(runnerd-codex-transport.ts):
- **Codex and OpenCode results.** These providers assign their own turn
ids, so an accepted result never echoes the requested `turn_lab_` id,
and RC-59 adoption never matched a real Codex result. For them, the
accepted turn is now adopted only while it is also the runner's live
active turn in its authenticated `session.snapshot`. A turn the restored
runner reports lost has no live turn, so it keeps the established
restart-continuation path. ACPX still requires the echoed id.
- **Indeterminate start.** When the latest `turn.start` (after the
latest attach) failed with `execution_indeterminate`, it adopts the
runner's live active turn. Runnerd reports one only after it reconciles
an ambiguous start to a distinct replacement turn.
- The transport records the snapshot's active turn at `thread/read`,
which `recover()` reads before it evaluates adoption.
- The driver's existing RC-59 guards still apply: the turn must be in
provider history, be the only active turn, and not already be terminal.

## Verification

- Connected restart test, `runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts` "adopts
the in-flight turn when a restart lands just after turn.start (t77)". It
uses the real runnerd and fake Codex:
  - the runner and provider die after journaling a started turn;
  - runnerd's own restore settles the command `execution_indeterminate`;
  - recovery adopts `provider-turn-1` with no second `turn/start`.
  - It fails without the fix: nothing is adopted.
- Unit cases for `controllerAcceptedTurnStartId`:
  - a Codex-assigned id is adopted only while it is the live turn;
  - an indeterminate start is adopted with the reconciled turn;
- it fails closed with no live turn, an ordinary failed start, a later
attachment, or an ACPX id mismatch.
- Regression guarded: "starts a new turn when the restored runner
reports a lost turn the checkpoint never bound" still passes.
- `runnerd-codex-transport`, `codex-app-server-driver.recovery`,
`runnerd-codex-transport-adoption`,
`runnerd-codex-transport-cold-restore`, `runnerd-restart-continuation`
and `runnerd-controller-outage`: 383/383. Runner TypeScript typecheck is
clean.
- Live: the chaos campaign will run the `runner.turn_start.*` crash
points (Codex A1/C1) and a Codex C1 K2 storm, and post the result here.

## Risks

- **Previous-release story.** No persisted shape changes. Commands
journaled by the previous release carry forward and are read with the
new rule. An indeterminate start that the runner did not reconcile to an
active turn still fails closed, as before.
- **Wider Codex adoption.** Codex adoption now actually fires. If
runnerd ever returned an accepted result that names a turn other than
the one this command started, the driver would adopt it. Runnerd binds
the result to the exact command id, so this is the same trust the rule
already placed in ACPX.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 96badeaa42 fix(lifecycle): never repeat a passed harness verification; settle a dead verifier's lease at once (#20030)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A new or reconfigured agent runs a harness verification (a hello
probe in a test sandbox) before it is ready, and its runs wait until it
passes
> - In the final Daytona restart chaos wave, a Codex agent's runs waited
about 417 s for their first sandbox, while boot took only about 32 s
> - Each control-plane restart killed the verifier. The next process
waited out the 120 s lifecycle lease and then booted a fresh sandbox.
Nothing recorded a configuration that had already passed.
> - This pull request records a passed verification by what makes it
valid and reuses it, and settles a dead verifier's lease on the shared
ownership path at once
> - The benefit is that a restart never repeats a passed verification,
and never leaves runs waiting out a dead process's lease

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
In the final Daytona chaos wave, the Codex agent was created at 09:55:46
UTC and its three runs were queued. Verification ran four times, in four
sandboxes, because faults K1, K4 and K2 each killed the verifying
server. After K2 the server was ready at 10:00:20, but verification
restarted only at 10:02:13: it waited out the 120 s lifecycle lease. The
first run sandboxes were created at 10:02:43, 417 s after launch.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a Codex agent and assign it a task at once, so the task waits
for harness verification.
2. Kill the control plane (SIGKILL) while the agent is verifying.
3. The restarted server waits out the dead verifier's 120 s lifecycle
lease, then verifies again in a new test target. The task's first token
arrives about 130 s after the fault.

**Expected behavior**
- A passed verification of the same effective configuration in the same
runner image is never repeated.
- A verification is never restarted from scratch while its holder
process is alive. When the holder is proven gone, its lease is settled
at once.
- Runs gate only on a configuration that has never passed.

**Root cause**
`verify()` (`server/src/services/agent-harness-verification.ts`) leased
a fresh sandbox on every attempt and recorded nothing on a pass. The
lifecycle lease (`modules/agent-lifecycle/adapters/postgres.ts`) named
no holder process, so a restart could only wait for it to expire.

## What Changed

- Restart chaos TTFT driver: a `verify` phase, reported in its own rows,
and a `--verify-fault K1|K2|K6` option. The fault fires 1 s after
`verifying` is observed, so it interrupts a held lease. The seed keeps
each agent's creation body, so the driver can hire an identical agent.

- **Persisted pass:** new columns `agents.harness_verified_digest` and
`harness_verified_at` (migration 0448). The digest is an HMAC, keyed
with the instance's decision-signing secret, over:
- the fully resolved effective configuration: every value the test used,
including `cwd`, resolved credentials, and agent-over-environment
precedence;
- the selected AI account and its credential generation (connection and
grant ids and `updatedAt`, never the credential);
  - the environment and the runner image.

The key means the stored value cannot confirm a guessed credential
offline. For a sandbox, the runner image is an immutable image digest or
a qualified Daytona snapshot ID (`sandboxBinding`, now exported). For
local runs it is the server version. A mutable image or snapshot name,
or a local environment redirected to the managed sandbox, never reuses a
pass.
- **Server-only:** `normalizeAgentBaseRow` and
`redactAgentRowForResponse` strip the digest and its timestamp from
agent API responses.
- `verify()` still runs every account, policy and secret check, then
returns complete on a matching digest without booting a test target. It
records the digest on a pass before the lifecycle step completes, so a
restart in between reuses it.
- **Lease holder:** the lifecycle `claim()` stamps the claiming
controller process on the lease (`lifecycleOperation.leaseHolder`,
supplied through the lifecycle effects port) and clears the stamp with
the lease. The compare-and-swap release lives in the lifecycle module
(`releaseAgentLifecycleLeaseOfHolderInTransaction`).
- **Shared ownership path:** a new `agent_lifecycle_lease` kind with
`settleAgentLifecycleLease`.
- When the reconciler proves the holder gone, settle clears exactly that
lease (compare-and-swap on the holder), notifies lifecycle work, and
logs `agent.lifecycle_lease_reconciled`.
- A live holder is never taken over. The lifecycle state, operation and
progress are untouched.

## Verification

- `restart-verification.test.ts` (embedded Postgres, real lifecycle
store and worker, real reconciler pass):
- A verification held by a dead process is claimed and completed at once
after the startup pass, with the agent ready in under 10 s instead of
waiting out the 120 s lease. It fails without the new kind.
  - A live holder is never taken over.
  - The claim stamps the holder, and `defer` clears it.
- `agent-harness-verification-preflight.test.ts`:
- A second `verify()` of the same configuration allocates no target. A
revoked account still fails before reuse. A changed model, `cwd` or
literal credential tests again. It fails without the reuse.
  - A failed verification records nothing.
- Ownership report, all lifecycle module tests, remote, provider-API and
unit harness verification tests, and crash-point call sites: 13 files,
220 tests pass.
- Targeted local run: the TTFT driver's new `verify` phase (`--phases
verify --verify-fault K1`, Codex, 2 samples) hires a new agent, assigns
it a task at once, kills the control plane (K1) while it verifies, and
times fault to first agent token:
- Before (master server code): 129.8 s and 129.8 s. The restarted server
waited out the dead verifier's 120 s lease. Run-log TTFT from run
creation was only 4.1 s.
- After (this branch): 15.8 s and 17.2 s. The startup reconciler pass
settled `agent_lifecycle_lease` and verification re-ran at once.

## Risks

- **A stale pass:** the digest covers every resolved value, the selected
account generation, the environment and an immutable runner image, so
any change tests again. Rotating the instance signing secret invalidates
every digest, so each agent verifies once more.
- **Migration:** two nullable columns, no backfill. Existing agents
verify once more, then reuse.
- **Settle:** it runs only on a `gone` proof, compare-and-swap on the
exact holder. It never changes the lifecycle state.

## Model Used

tool use (shell, file editing, test execution).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 bfa9002a3c test(restart-chaos): reach the stop-and-retain crash point with --daytona-reuse-lease (#20049)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The restart-chaos crash-point suite kills the server at named
points, then checks that recovery restores every invariant
> - On Daytona, `environment.stop_retain.after_claim_before_stop` was
never reached, because no workload produced a stop-and-retain release
> - A per-turn run on a reusable sandbox lease ends every turn with
`stop_and_reuse`, which releases through exactly that stop-only claim
> - This pull request adds `--daytona-reuse-lease`, so the chaos Daytona
environment keeps reusable sandboxes and the point is reachable
> - The benefit is live coverage of the stop-and-retain crash window

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

This is a follow-up from the Phase 2 durable-ownership data
(`doc/plans/2026-11-07-phase2-reconciler-data.md`, "Not covered").
Related: #19937 (crash-point suite) and #20042 (stop-only claim fence
renewal). No duplicate PR was found.

**What happened?**

The Daytona crash-point run `cp-20261108T104102` reported
`environment.stop_retain.after_claim_before_stop` as `not_reached`. The
point needs a stop-and-retain intent, and the chaos Daytona environment
is created with ephemeral leases.

**Expected behavior**

A flag lets a Daytona wave or crash-point run use reusable leases. A
per-turn run then stops and keeps its sandbox, and the point is reached
and graded.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run `node scripts/crash-points.mjs --env daytona --daytona-image
<image> --points environment.stop_retain.after_claim_before_stop
--adapters codex --workloads A1`.
2. Before this PR the point is `not_reached`.
3. With `--daytona-reuse-lease --lifecycle per_turn` it is reached.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `8475826d2d` (the signed image `c24059f1…` revision).

## What Changed

- `--daytona-reuse-lease` (wave and crash-point suite, Daytona only)
creates the chaos environment with `reuseLease: true`. The crash-point
suite passes the flag through.
- The R6 sandbox sweep counts a **stopped** sandbox behind a **released
`reuse_by_environment`** lease as kept for reuse, not a leak. A later
run on the same workspace resumes it, because reuse accepts released and
retained leases. A running sandbox, or a stopped one behind an ephemeral
lease, is still a leak.
- The crash-point registry prerequisite and the README name the flag.

## Verification

- Live, Daytona, codex A1, from the image revision `8475826d2d`:
- `cp-20261108T132149`: the point was **reached** and settled with no
invariant violations. R6 flagged the stopped reusable sandbox as a leak,
which led to the sweep fix.
- `cp-20261108T133351`, with the sweep fix: **pass**. 0 orphaned
sandboxes, 0 held leases, the environment deleted, and nothing left
running.
- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts`
passes `daytona-sweep`, `scheduler` and `crash-points` (52/52). `tsc -p
tests/restart-chaos/tsconfig.json` is clean.

## Risks

- Test harness only; the registry change is prerequisite text. Without
the flag, waves behave as before.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 46f32ed33f fix(sentry): stop treating short host settings as credentials in run-failure redaction (#20013)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When an agent run fails, Paperclip sends a redacted failure report
to Sentry so the team can fix the cause
> - Redaction treats the server's own environment values as possible
secrets and removes them wherever they appear in the report
> - Since #19461, every value under an environment name the allowlist
does not know counts as a secret, even very short ones such as `vi`,
`RUN`, `off` or `1`
> - On a host with such settings, the report text is damaged: `service`
becomes `ser***REDACTED***ce`, and a `1` anywhere can vanish. One server
test failed on every such host, while CI (which has no such values)
stayed green
> - This pull request keeps the fail-closed rule for an agent's
configured environment, and requires a plausible credential in the
server's own environment
> - The benefit is that Sentry reports stay readable on every host, and
real credentials stay private

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19461 (introduced the catch-all), #14585 (added the failing test).

**What happened?**
`heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` › "redacts opaque environment-bound
credentials from Sentry diagnostics: result" failed locally on `master`:
`expected 'ser***REDACTED***ce' to be 'service'`. Instrumentation showed
that the server's own `process.env` contributed these redaction values:
`["false","67591","true","0x0","RUN","off","vi","64","1","0","8"]`. They
came from a desktop agent session's environment.

**Expected behavior**
Short host settings are not credentials. Declared, secret-named and
credential-shaped values stay private. An agent's configured environment
keeps its fail-closed rule.

**Steps to reproduce**
Run that test on a machine whose environment contains
`SOME_UNKNOWN_NAME=vi`.

## What Changed

- `packages/adapter-utils/src/command-redaction.ts`:
`collectDiagnosticEnvironmentSecrets` gets an option, `{ hostProcess:
true }`. With it, an undeclared value under an unrecognized name is
collected only in these cases:
- it has at least 8 characters and is not a bare number, hex number or
boolean-like word; or
- its name has a credential segment: `TOKEN`, `SECRET`, `PASSWORD`,
`BEARER` or `PRIVATE`, or a final `KEY` or `KEY_ID`.

  Without the option, behavior is unchanged.
- `server/src/services/run-failure-report.ts`: the report collects the
server's own `process.env` with `hostProcess: true`. The agent's
configured environment (`heartbeat.ts`) and the provider environment
(`terminal-session-failure.ts`) keep the default.

## Verification

- `command-redaction.test.ts` (42 pass). The new test fails on `master`
and passes here. It checks three things: the host's short values are not
collected; a short value under `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and a long opaque
value stay private; and an agent binding `CUSTOM_BINDING: "1"` stays
private.
- `run-failure-diagnostics.test.ts` (135 pass, unchanged). These tests
pin the agent-environment fail-closed rule.
- `heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` › "redacts opaque
environment-bound credentials…": both modes pass here. The `result` mode
failed on unchanged `master` on this host.
- The adapter-utils and server typechecks pass.

## Risks

- The server's own environment now leaves out a non-credential-named
value that is shorter than 8 characters or is a bare number or boolean,
for example `MY_PIN=1234`. Values under credential names, declared
secrets and credential-shaped values are still redacted.
- No Telemetry path changes; this is the Sentry run-failure report.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 946c098bf3 fix(opencode): bind the attached run's contract after a restored launch (#20001)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native OpenCode agents run through runnerd and a small OpenCode
proxy. The proxy checks each `paperclip_finish` claim against the run's
completion contract.
> - Each follow-up run has its own contract revision. #19874 lets
runnerd keep the OpenCode process across a contract change, and sends
the new contract on `turn/start`.
> - When runnerd starts again for a follow-up, it restores the saved
session first. The restored proxy launches with the saved run's
contract, but its environment already names the new run.
> - The proxy applied the `turn/start` contract only when the run id
changed. Here the run id did not change, so the proxy kept the saved
contract and refused every correct finish claim.
> - This pull request makes the proxy rebind whenever the turn's
contract differs from the one its session holds. The stale-revision
error also names the expected revision.
> - The benefit: a queued-comment follow-up finishes on its first try,
and an agent that sends a stale revision can repair it.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19874 (warm runs carry their own completion contract).

**What happened**

A user sent a follow-up comment while an OpenCode agent was working.
After the first run finished, Paperclip started a continuation run for
the queued comment. The agent updated the plan and called
`paperclip_finish` with the current revision `2`. The tool refused it
twice with "Semantic result completion contract revision does not
match". The error did not name the expected revision. The agent searched
for it for 3 minutes, and cleanup cancelled the run.

Root cause: runnerd restores a saved `session_open` session before it
applies `run.attach` (`provider_backend.rs`: "execute() restores the
durable provider before dispatching run.attach"). The restore launches
the OpenCode proxy with the saved contract (revision `1`). Runnerd's
environment already names the new run, so the proxy's `PAPERCLIP_RUN_ID`
is the new run. `attach_run_in_place` keeps this provider for a changed
contract (#19874) and sends `paperclipCompletionContract` revision `2`
on `turn/start`. The proxy compared only the run id. The run id matched,
so the proxy skipped `attachRun` and kept revision `1`.

**Expected behavior**

The continuation's first `paperclip_finish` with the current revision is
accepted. If a claim has a stale revision, the error names the expected
revision.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use a native OpenCode agent with warm follow-ups (the default).
2. Start a task. While the agent works, post a follow-up comment, so
that it queues.
3. Let the first run finish. Paperclip starts a continuation run with
completion revision `2` and restores the saved OpenCode session.
4. The agent calls `paperclip_finish` with `contractRevision: "2"`.
5. Before this fix, the tool refuses it with "Semantic result completion
contract revision does not match".

The chat eval `steering.discard-queued-message` (runner-opencode) shows
this in run events: `session.resumed` carries revision `2`, and both
`paperclip_finish` results fail with the mismatch.

## What Changed

- `opencode-app-server-proxy.ts`: record the contract that the session
opened with. On `turn/start`, call `attachRun` when the run id changes
or when the supplied `paperclipCompletionContract` differs from the
session's contract.
- `opencode-proxy-task-envelope.ts`: add
`sameOpenCodeProxyCompletionContract`.
- `opencode-server-driver.ts`: the stale-revision error now ends with
`Use contractRevision "<expected>".`, like the criteria error.
- Tests: a real-proxy regression for the restored launch, a driver test
for the new error text, and a `repair-revision` mode in the fake
OpenCode fixture.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run src/cli/opencode-proxy-input.test.ts
src/drivers/opencode/opencode-server-driver.test.ts
src/cli/opencode-app-server-proxy.test.ts
src/cli/opencode-proxy-thread-read.test.ts` in
`packages/paperclip-runner`: 88 passed.
- Red/green: without the source changes, both new tests fail. `binds the
current contract when a restored launch already names the attached run`
never sees the finish call reach the controller. `names the expected
revision in a repairable stale-revision tool error` does not find the
expected revision in the error.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/paperclip-runner`: no errors in the
changed files. (My worktree is missing a link for
`@paperclipai/paperclip-eval-kernel`, which causes unrelated errors in
`src/eval/workflow-harness.ts`.)
- End-to-end: the chat eval `steering.discard-queued-message`
(runner-opencode) with this fix cherry-picked. The run link goes in a
comment below.

## Risks

- Previous-release story (`rules/upgrade-safe-run-state.mdc`): this
change does not change a persisted shape. The regression test uses the
saved-state shape: launch parameters from the saved run, environment and
`turn/start` from the new run. A runnerd that does not send
`paperclipCompletionContract` behaves as before, so the proxy keeps its
launch contract. The proxy and runnerd ship in the same runner artifact.
- The proxy can now call `attachRun` for the same run id when the
contract changes. `attachRun` resets the per-run result state. This
occurs only at `turn/start`, when no turn is active, and only when the
contract is different. A result for the earlier contract is not valid
for the new contract.
- The error text changed. No code parses it.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 68d5fb5a6e feat(chaos): check I6 and I8 per crash point; ready the Daytona points (#19984)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The on-demand crash-point suite (#19946) kills the control plane at
named durable write boundaries and checks the plan's invariants
> - Its first full run measured I1–I4 and I7, but I5, I6 and I8 were

what I6 and I8 need in the run log

cannot be reached by a plain task
> - This pull request checks I6 and I8 per point, names the I5 gap, and
readies the Daytona points for the coming Daytona wave
> - The benefit is that every invariant is either asserted or a named
gap, and a Daytona run explains any point it cannot reach

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831 (plan, Phase 5). Follows #19946 (the suite). Uses #19960
(event generations) and #19863 (speed budgets).

**Problem**
- The suite reported I5, I6 and I8 as "not measured".
- A Daytona run would report three points as `not_reached` with no
reason.
- A Daytona run without its key or image failed only after a 3-minute
boot.

**Expected behavior**
- I6 and I8 are checked at each point.
- I5 is a named gap with its reason.
- Daytona points say what they need, and a Daytona run checks its inputs
before it boots.

## What Changed

- `tests/restart-chaos/invariants.ts`: `runLogViolations` checks two
invariants from the run log, scoped to the wave's company:
- I6: a run that failed with an error that names a stale or
earlier-generation event;
- I8: each `run.performance.budget_exceeded` event, with the budget
evidence (metric, measured, p95, adapter, start kind).
Both are keyed by run or event id, so the per-point baseline diff
charges each one to the point that produced it. I5 is reported as
`notMeasured` with a reason (`I5_GAP`).
- `packages/shared/src/crash-point-registry.ts`: an optional
`prerequisite` on the three Daytona points a plain task cannot reach.
These are the teardown claim (needs a failed release), the reusable
destroy (needs a `reuse_by_environment` lease), and stop-and-retain.
- `tests/restart-chaos/crash-points.ts`:
- `--list` prints each point's `needs:`, and a `not_reached` result
names it too;
- `--env daytona` refuses to start without `DAYTONA_API_KEY` and an
image.
- Docs: the README and the plan describe the I5/I6/I8 coverage and the
Daytona points.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts
tests/restart-chaos/crash-points.test.ts`: 12 passed.
- `cd packages/shared && npx vitest run src/crash-points.test.ts`: 15
passed.
- `node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs tests/restart-chaos` and
`npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/shared` both pass.
- I ran `runLogViolations` against a throwaway Postgres 18 with seeded
rows, then stopped and deleted it. It returned:
  - I8 for the budget breach, with its evidence;
- I6 for the run of this company that failed on
`stale_generation_event`.
It excluded the other company's stale run, the `process_lost` run and a
non-budget event.
- `node scripts/crash-points.mjs --list --env daytona` lists 19 points,
with `needs:` on the three. `--env daytona` with no key or image fails
at once with the missing names.
- No harness run: the harness slot is held for other work. The next
suite run exercises the new checks.

## Risks

- Test harness only; no product code.
- I6 is a proxy: it matches the run's error text and code. A failure
that names a generation for another reason would be reported, with its
evidence, for a person to judge.
- I8 can flag breaches on a loaded host. Each breach carries its
measured and budget values, so a load-caused breach is visible as one.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 65f41593d1 fix(runner): tell agents a skill found in a directory is imported, not re-created (#19983)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents can add skills to the company library in two ways: author new
content with `create_skill`, or import an existing skill so its source
is kept
> - #18717 told agents in the `create_skill` contract to import "an
existing skill" instead of copying it
> - An agent read "existing" as "already in the company library"
> - It searched the library, found no match, and saved a managed copy of
a SKILL.md from a vetted local directory
> - The copy has no source locator, so update, audit and reset flows
cannot follow the source
> - This pull request says in the same contract that a SKILL.md in a
local directory, repository, URL or catalog is an existing skill even
when the library has no match
> - The benefit is that agents import such skills and keep their
provenance

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18717

**What happened**

A person asked the CEO agent: "Find a useful accessibility-review skill
and add it to our company." The conversation pointed to a vetted local
directory with a SKILL.md. The agent called `search_skills`, found no
match, and wrote in its reasoning "No existing accessibility skill. Now
create it via paperclip_create_skill". It saved a `managed` skill with
`sourceLocator: null`. It did not call the import API that the
`create_skill` description recommends.

**Expected behavior**

The agent imports the skill from its directory through `POST
/api/companies/{companyId}/skills/import`. The saved skill is
`local_path` with the directory as its source locator.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Put a SKILL.md in a directory that a company project workspace
allows.
2. Give the directory path to the agent in chat, and ask it to add the
skill to the company.
3. Look at the saved skill. Before this change, the agent can save a
`managed` copy without a source locator.

## What Changed

- Add one sentence to the `create_skill` description in
`packages/paperclip-runner/src/protocol-actions/create-skill.ts`: a
SKILL.md in a local directory, repository, URL or catalog is an existing
skill, even when the company library has no match, so import it instead
of copying its content.
- Regenerate the semantic action catalog, the semantic tool contracts,
the protocol manifest digest and the seeded catalog digest.
- Extend the existing contract test so that the discovered, live and
scenario descriptions all contain the new rule.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/semantic-tools/paperclip-semantic-tools.test.ts -t "distinguishes
authored skills"` in `packages/paperclip-runner` passes. The new
assertion fails on the parent, because the parent description does not
contain the sentence.
- `node scripts/generate-semantic-action-catalog.mjs --check`, `node
scripts/generate-protocol-manifest.mjs --check` and `node
scripts/generate-semantic-contracts.mjs --check` pass.
- End-to-end chat eval `skills.find-and-install` (runner-opencode,
local), with this commit cherry-picked onto the eval branch: before, run
42448994428 failed because the agent saved a managed copy. After, run
42450246200 passed. The agent quoted the new sentence in its reasoning,
imported the directory through the import API, and the saved skill is
`local_path` with the vetted directory as its source locator.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change is model-facing text only. It does not change
permissions, routes or tool inputs.
- Agents that author truly new skills still use `create_skill`. The
sentence applies only when a SKILL.md already exists somewhere.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), with tool use and code
execution in Claude Code.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 051834bdc8 feat(chaos): add the on-demand crash-point suite and its manual CI workflow (#19946)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A control-plane restart between two durable writes leaves an
in-progress record owned by a dead process
> - Random restart-chaos waves found these 20 ms–1 s windows only by
luck
> - #19937 added `crashPoint(name)`, and #19938 put it at 20 durable
write boundaries
> - Nothing yet runs a task, kills the server at a chosen point,
restarts it, and checks the plan's invariants
> - This pull request adds that on-demand suite, as a local command and
as a manual CI workflow (not a required check, per Decision 2)
> - The benefit is a repeatable work list: which boundary breaks which
invariant, for Phases 2–4

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831 (plan, Phase 5 and Decision 2). Refs #19861 (report-only
reconciler used for I1–I7). Stacked on #19938 (call sites), which is
stacked on #19937 (helper).

**Problem**
The named crash points cannot be exercised end to end. No command arms
one point, runs real agent tasks across it, restarts, and grades the
result.

**Expected behavior**
`node scripts/crash-points.mjs --points <glob> --kinds <id> --adapters
<list>` runs one wave per selected point and reports each point as pass,
fail (with failing R rules and violated invariants), not reached, or
harness error. A `workflow_dispatch` workflow runs the same thing on
demand.

## What Changed

- **Runtime arming.** `PAPERCLIP_CRASH_POINT_CONTROL=<file>`, in the
shared helper and the runner mirror. Each hit reads `<token>
<name>[:<nth>]`, and a new token resets the count. It is test mode only:
`NODE_ENV=production` ignores it, and the disarmed path is still one
comparison.
- **`tests/restart-chaos/main.ts --crash-point
<a>:<nth>,<b>:<nth>,...`** (config, types, ledger):
  - one booted server and no Vite UI;
- per point: take an invariant baseline, launch the point's batch, arm
the point, then on rest disarm it and check invariants as violations
that are new since the baseline;
  - every task is graded R1–R6 and T;
  - `crash-point.json` (v2) holds one entry per point.
- **`tests/restart-chaos/supervisor.ts`:**
  - every spawn gets the control file;
- a SIGKILL whose receipt names the child's pid is restarted like K1:
the control file is emptied first, the owned tree is killed, and a
replacement starts. A failed tree cleanup fails the fault;
- the isolated instance pins `PAPERCLIP_IN_WORKTREE=false` (a
`.paperclip/.env` above the checkout otherwise suppressed all
scheduling);
  - `RESTART_CHAOS_HEALTH_TIMEOUT_MS`.
- **`tests/restart-chaos/invariants.ts`:**
- the Phase 1 report-only pass with `record: false`: two real-clock
passes for I1 and I2, and one pass 15 minutes ahead for I3, I4 and I7;
  - spool kinds are read from the wave's instance;
  - an unfinished pass is a harness error;
  - each violation carries its wake and run state as evidence.
- **`tests/restart-chaos/crash-points.ts` and
`scripts/crash-points.mjs`:**
- select points by glob, kind and environment, and run them in one wave;
  - a per-point outcome: pass, fail, not_reached or harness_error;
  - `SUMMARY.md` with a violation evidence column.
- **`.github/workflows/crash-points.yml`**, manual only, under the
paid-workflow contract:
  - a credential-free `authorize` job;
  - a `suite` job in `runner-e2e-paid` whose first step reauthorizes;
  - a frozen install with `--ignore-scripts` and no shared cache;
  - only the selected adapters' keys;
  - the workflow is added to both security-test allowlists.
- **Docs:** "Crash-point suite" in `tests/restart-chaos/README.md`, and
"Built (Phase 5)" plus the first work list in the plan.

## Verification

- Focused tests:
- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts
tests/restart-chaos/crash-points.test.ts`;
- `cd packages/shared && npx vitest run src/crash-points.test.ts`: 15
tests, including runtime arming in a real child process;
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/release-verify-workflow.test.mjs`: 72
tests;
  - `tests/runner-e2e/workflow-security.test.ts`: 19 tests.
- Typecheck: `node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs
tests/restart-chaos` passes.
- Loop line: question "how long is one crash-point loop?" | loop: `node
scripts/crash-points.mjs --points <one>` (codex A1) | elapsed 2.7 min
end to end: boot 9 s, crash 9 s after arming, replacement ready in 6 s,
rest about 2 min | result: one point alone takes about 3 min. Before
this change it took about 15 min (one cold boot per point, Vite UI, host
at load 77).
- Full local run, 14 points, codex A1, 11.8 min in all:
- every point was reached (the server killed itself at each one, and the
replacement came back);
  - 11 pass;
- `workspace.finalize.after_start_before_copyback` and
`workspace.finalize.after_copyback_before_done` fail I2 and R6: a
`workspace_finalize` operation stays running after the run succeeded;
- `wake.claim.after_run_running_before_wakeup_claimed` reports I4. Its
evidence shows the wake failed with "…retrying once", and the retry
delivered the work, so this is the known refusal-regex false positive.
- The 6 Daytona-only points were not run.

## Risks

- Test harness and an on-demand workflow only. No product code changes.
- `.github/**` needs a CODEOWNER review. The workflow uses provider
keys, so it refuses non-default branches and actors that are not on the
allowlist, like `runner-full-stack-e2e.yml`.
- `PAPERCLIP_IN_WORKTREE=false` is pinned in every chaos wave, not only
crash-point waves. A chaos instance is never a worktree dev instance, so
scheduling must not be suppressed.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 576ba29fff feat(recovery): settle the legacy controller lease on the shared ownership path (#19953)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Legacy (non-native) runs hold a controller lease on `heartbeat_runs`
while the server prepares and dispatches the adapter. The shared
ownership reconciler now settles proven-gone owners (Phase 2 of the
durable ownership plan)
> - The lease stamped only a boot id. The reconciler could never prove
its owner gone (`missing_identity` in the Phase 2 data), and recovery
released it by age: lease expiry (60 s), then a 5-minute age guard on
dispatched runs
> - A hard-killed server's legacy run therefore stayed `running` for up
to 6 minutes after the next boot
> - This pull request records the controller process with the claim,
registers a compare-and-swap settle, and makes live-run recovery use the
shared prover instead of the age guard when the controller is proven
gone
> - The benefit is that a dead controller's run is settled at once,
while a live, unprovable, or previous-release controller keeps today's
behavior

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19933 (the settle hook, merged). Stacked on #19950 (migration
0446, registry) and targets its branch until it merges; then it
retargets to master.

**What happened?**
After a hard kill, a dispatched legacy run stayed `running` until its
controller lease expired and its last update was 5 minutes old.

**What did you expect?**
The next boot proves the old controller gone and fails the run as a lost
process at once.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a legacy (non-native) run and let it dispatch the adapter.
2. Kill the server (SIGKILL).
3. Start the server. The run stays `running` for up to 6 minutes.

## What Changed

- `heartbeat_runs.controller_process` (jsonb, migration 0447): `{bootId,
pid, hostHash, processStartedAt}` of the claiming server process. It
names the controller only while its `bootId` equals
`controller_boot_id`. Revocation swaps the boot id, so a revoked lease
never keeps it.
- `legacyControllerClaim` writes it in the same UPDATE (from
`currentControllerProcessStamp()`, no I/O).
- `legacy-controller-lease.ts`: `legacyControllerOwnerStamp`,
`legacyControllerProvenGone` (calls `proveOwnerGone`), and
`settleLegacyControllerLease` (compare-and-swap expiry of the proven
controller's outstanding lease after it wakes live-run recovery).
- `ownership-registry.ts`: `legacy_controller_lease` registers `settle`
and `listForRuns`. The owner is the bound process; other rows are
boot-id fences. The listing covers outstanding leases only.
- `heartbeat/recovery.ts` (3 small hunks): a controller of another boot
that the shared prover proves gone has its live lease settled through
`settleOwnableKind` and skips the age guard. The local child-process
check after it is unchanged, so a live child still keeps the run
running.
- Migration 0447 builds the partial index with `CREATE INDEX
CONCURRENTLY` (heartbeat_runs is a known-large table) and is added to
`MIGRATIONS_WITH_TOP_LEVEL_STATEMENTS`.

Bespoke code deleted: none. The kind had no liveness proof; the age
guard stays for controllers that are not proven gone.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/legacy-controller-lease.test.ts`: 33 passed.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/ownership-reconciliation-report.test.ts`: 17 passed.
- Red with `recovery.ts` and `ownership-registry.ts` from the base
commit (tests, schema and lease module from this branch): 4 failed, 29
passed. Red: the crash-point reaper test, the expired-lease age-guard
test, the reconciler settle test, the exact-controller CAS test. The
tests were written after the code.
- New tests:
  - the claim stamps this process, and a changed boot id unbinds it;
- crash point: a controller dispatched the adapter and was killed with
its lease live; the startup reaper (default 5-minute age guard) fails
the run as `process_lost` at once;
  - a dead controller's expired lease skips the age guard;
- counter-cases keep the run and lease through the reaper and a
reconciler pass: a live earlier-boot PID, a dead PID in another PID
space, and a previous-release row with no `controller_process`; an
expired lease of a live controller stays behind the age guard;
- a read-only pass (`record: false`) never settles; a recording pass
expires the lease and leaves the run to live-run recovery;
  - settle refuses a controller that changed after the proof.
- Not run locally: typecheck (CI runs it) and the wide suites.

## Risks

- Previous-release story (rules/upgrade-safe-run-state.mdc): rows saved
by the previous release have no `controller_process`. They stay boot-id
fences with today's release (expiry, revocation, age guard). A rollback
ignores the column.
- Unprovable controllers (another host or PID space, unknown space, a
live PID with an unreadable start time) never release early. Their
handoff stays the lease expiry plus revocation, and the age guard. A
different host is never proof.
- Behavior change: a dispatched run whose controller is proven gone is
failed as `process_lost` without the 5-minute wait. The retry decision
is unchanged.
- The settle expires the lease only. Live-run recovery still settles the
run under its own checks. Accounting and workspace obligations are not
touched.
- The index build is concurrent. A cancelled build is retried by the
migrator's invalid-index handling.

tool use (shell, file edits, local test runs).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c0c26188db fix(runner): stamp event generations and record an earlier generation's events as history (#19960)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs execute through the Paperclip Runner, which turns
provider output (Codex, OpenCode, Claude through ACPX) into durable
runner events
> - In the restart chaos campaign, events from an earlier turn or runner
generation failed the current turn about ten times (RC-15, 20, 20b, 20c,
33, 33b, 59 and 61)
> - #19718, #19722, #19772 and #19783 each special-cased one variant,
and other variants still fail the run
> - The durable-ownership plan (section G, invariant 6) asks for one
rule: every event carries its generation and turn, and an earlier
generation's events are recorded as history and never fail the current
turn
> - This pull request stamps the runner generation on every event and
applies one stale-event rule in the ACPX provider state, the Codex
driver (which Runnerd also uses for OpenCode) and the pending
`turn.start` check
> - The benefit is that a late report about a settled or restored turn
no longer stops a healthy turn, while events for a turn the runner never
saw still fail closed

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19718, #19722, #19772, #19783

**What happened?**
A runner or provider can report a turn after that turn settled: a
resumed provider reports the lost turn's usage or terminal, an ACPX
sidecar emits a last delta after the turn terminal, or a held failure of
the previous turn sits in front of a new `turn.start`. Several of these
paths fail the current turn: ACPX `AcpxEventScope` rejects any event for
a non-active turn ("named a stale turn"), the Codex driver fails
`turn_binding_mismatch` for a settled turn's late item between turns,
and `runnerdPendingTurnStartFailure` reports any held non-recoverable
failure, whatever turn it names. Runner events carried no generation.

**Expected behavior**
An event for a turn that is not active, and that an earlier generation
accepted or this generation already settled, is recorded as history and
never fails the current turn. An event for a turn the runner never saw
still fails closed.

**Steps to reproduce**
ACPX: settle turn 1, start turn 2, and deliver a late `runtime.event`
for turn 1. Before this change, the provider state returns an error and
the run fails.

## What Changed

- Runner (`durable/state.rs`, `durable/runner.rs`): every event payload
carries `generation`, the runner process generation that emitted it. A
runner process that recovers state starts the next generation
(`begin_recovered_generation`); it is saved with the next normal write,
so recovery adds no write before the first turn. Loading stays pure. Old
saved state loads as generation 0. Outbox events keep their original
generation.
- PRP event schemas v1–v3 declare the optional `generation` property;
generated validators and the manifest are regenerated.
- ACPX (`acpx_event_scope.rs`, `acpx_provider_state.rs`): an event that
names a settled turn of this run becomes a bounded
`stale_generation_event` diagnostic (32 per state) and changes no state.
Unknown turns still fail.
- Codex driver (`codex-session-state.ts`,
`codex-session-notifications.ts`): one predicate, `isHistoryTurn()`: the
turn is not active, and it was restored from the checkpoint (an earlier
generation) or settled in this generation. The classifier's stale-turn
branch, the resume-usage branch, restored-terminal replay and the main
fail point (`notificationNamesActiveTurn`) all use it. A terminal for an
earlier generation's turn is history even when it disagrees with the
checkpoint. A terminal that contradicts a turn this same generation
settled is still a `conflicting_turn_terminal` integrity failure, and a
provider that starts a settled turn again is still rejected.
- Transport (`runnerd-codex-transport.ts`): a pending `turn.start`
ignores a held failure that names another provider turn.
- `DURABLE_TRANSPORT.md` documents the stamp and the rule.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core`: new
`records_late_events_for_a_settled_turn_as_history` (red before),
`stamps_every_event_with_the_runner_process_generation`; two existing
ACPX tests now assert "recorded as history, no state change" instead of
"rejected". Durable tests: 112 passed. `cargo fmt` clean.
- `codex-app-server-driver.stale-generation.test.ts` (new, 9 tests):
late item, delta, terminal and workspace change for a settled turn
during and before the next turn, an earlier generation's conflicting
terminal after recovery, and an unknown turn that still fails. Red on
master: 8 of 9 (the during-turn cases on master already dropped the
event, with a different diagnostic; the between-turn and recovery cases
failed the session).
- `runnerd-pending-turn-start-failure.test.ts` (new): an earlier turn's
held failure no longer fails the pending start; the pending turn's own
failure and a failed run terminal still do.
- `vitest run src/drivers/codex src/live/runnerd-codex-transport`: 787
passed; 2 Codex executable-resolution tests timed out under host load
and pass when run alone.
- `tsc -p tsconfig.json` for the runner package, `check:protocol-types`,
`check:replay-goldens`: clean.
- Not run: chaos waves (the coordinator schedules them on this host).

## Risks

- A late report about a settled turn is now dropped with a diagnostic
instead of failing. A provider that keeps working on a settled turn
could have its output ignored silently; a provider that starts a settled
turn again, or names a turn the runner never saw, still fails closed.
- `generation` is a new optional field. Consumers that do not know it
ignore it, as the PRP contract requires.
- The generation counter is written with the next normal state save, so
there is no new write before `turn.start`.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 fda58d8cc1 fix(chat): post the complete final reply, not a 4,000-character run-log preview (#19971)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People talk to agents in chat. The agent's final message becomes the
chat reply.
> - The runner cuts every completed agent message to a 4,000-character
run-log preview. The server then posts that preview as the reply.
> - A long answer, for example a list of 501 open tasks, reaches the
person cut off with "…[truncated]".
> - PR #19959 fixed only the case where the accepted summary starts with
the exact preview text. It missed runs where the final prose differs
from the summary.
> - This pull request keeps the complete final answer in the runner, and
makes the server never prefer a preview over a complete source.
> - The benefit is that the person receives the agent's complete reply.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Supersedes #19959.

**What happened**

A chat agent wrote a final answer of about 4,985 characters (all 501
tasks). The posted chat reply was a 4,000-character preview that ended
with "…[truncated]".

**Expected behavior**

The person receives the agent's complete final message. A preview of a
message is never posted when a complete text exists.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Ask a chat agent (OpenCode or Codex) to list a large set of open
work, so that its final answer is longer than 4,000 characters.
2. Let the run finish.
3. Read the chat reply. It ends with "…[truncated]" at 4,000 characters.

Root cause:

-
`packages/paperclip-runner/runner/crates/runner-core/src/provider_events.rs`:
the codex/OpenCode facade projection of `item/completed` and the ACPX
`AssistantMessage` projection cut the final answer with
`bounded_text(text, MAX_TEXT_CHARS)` (4,000 characters).
- `durable/state.rs` `sanitize_value` caps every string again at 4,096
bytes before the event goes to the server.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat-run-summary.ts`
`resolveHeartbeatRunResponse` gives an explicit `final` agent message
top precedence, so it posts the preview.

## What Changed

- Runner (`provider_events.rs`): a completed `final_answer` agent
message keeps its complete redacted text, up to a new 32,000-character
`MAX_FINAL_AGENT_MESSAGE_CHARS` bound. Progress prose and in-flight
items keep the 4,000-character preview.
- Runner (`durable/state.rs`): `preserve_final_agent_message_text` keeps
the complete redacted text of a completed final agent message when it
fits in half of the transport frame. Otherwise the marked preview stays,
so a large message never fails the frame check.
- Server (`heartbeat-run-summary.ts`):
`readCompletedAssistantMessageCandidate` marks a stored preview as
`bounded`. The resolver never posts a bounded preview while a complete
source exists. It posts a marked adapter final response or the accepted
semantic summary instead
(`bounded_final_agent_message_replaced_by_semantic_summary`). It posts
the marked preview only when no complete text exists
(`bounded_final_agent_message_without_complete_source`). This also fixes
replies from runners that are already deployed.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-run-summary.test.ts`: 86 passed. Six new tests:
a complete final message longer than 4,000 characters is posted in full;
the old exact-prefix case posts the complete accepted answer; a preview
whose prose differs from the summary posts the complete summary (also
with chat precedence); a marked adapter final response wins over a
preview; the marked preview is posted only when nothing complete exists;
a stored preview candidate is marked `bounded`. Five of the six fail
against the `master` resolver.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib -- final_answer
complete_final`: 3 passed. Both new runner tests fail when the fix is
reverted.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib`: 581 passed, 3 failed. The
failures are `task_memory::tests::monitor_*` (OOM-kill monitor timing
tests). They do not touch the changed code.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --test acpx_event_projection
--test acpx_rich_events --test local_integrity_boundary_golden --test
acpx_provider_events`: all passed. `cargo fmt --check` passes.
- Evidence from the failed eval run: the `item.completed` final
`agentMessage` text was exactly 4,000 characters (3,988 retained plus
the marker). The `run.result.proposed` summary was complete at 4,985
characters.

## Risks

- Larger durable events: a final answer can now be up to 32,000
characters (at most about 128 KB). The outbox keeps the preview when the
text exceeds half of the frame size, so the frame check does not fail.
- Redaction stays the same. The complete text goes through
`redact_sensitive_text_values`, which the preview also used.
- The server treats any final message that ends with "…[truncated]" as a
preview. If an agent writes that text itself, the server posts the
complete accepted summary instead. That summary is also the agent's own
complete answer.
- The runner part reaches users only after a runner release. The server
part fixes replies at once when an accepted summary exists.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 f755361ffe fix(recovery): deliver a steered message the restart lost before the model read it (#19962)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A user can steer a running Codex or Pi turn: a comment goes into the
live turn instead of waiting for the next run
> - The provider acknowledges the steer at once, but the model reads it
only at its next step, after the in-flight tool call
> - A control-plane restart in that window kills the provider with the
message in memory. Restart recovery starts a continuation turn that does
not carry the message. The message is lost and no error shows
> - The restart chaos harness showed this in 6 of 6 steered runs (Codex,
K1, K2 and K6, 2 samples each): steer acknowledged, run succeeded, no
reply to the steered message
> - This pull request makes restart recovery deliver every acknowledged
steer that the model did not read, exactly once
> - The benefit is that manual Steer no longer loses messages on
restart, and the planned automatic steering can ship on top of it

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A comment steered into a running Codex turn got no reply when a
control-plane restart (SIGKILL, SIGTERM or crash loop) happened during
the agent's tool call. The run succeeded, and the steered comment had no
effect.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a Codex task that runs a 40-second command.
2. During the command, post a comment and click Steer. The provider
acknowledges it.
3. Restart the control plane before the command ends.
4. Recovery resumes the turn with a continuation. The agent finishes the
task and ignores the comment.

**Expected behavior**
The agent reads and handles the steered comment once, after recovery.

**Root cause**
The provider keeps acknowledged steering input in memory until its next
model step. The restart continuation
(`paperclip.native-continuation.v1`) only told the model to continue the
current request, so the acknowledged input was gone.

## What Changed

- `unreadSteeredMessageIds` (runner package): derives
acknowledged-but-unread steers from run-log events in order. A
`steering_acknowledgement` item adds the message id (once per id). A
`userMessage` item in the same turn reads the oldest unread steer. Codex
records each steered input as one `userMessage` item when it enters the
conversation. A `userMessage` item in a later turn reads all earlier
steers, because the continuation carries them. `turn.completed` reads
all steers.
- `readUnreadSteeredMessages` (server): reads those facts from
`heartbeat_run_events` (only transport-validated events with a
`sourceEventId`). It also reads the comment or interaction text for the
same company and issue. The run log is the durable record of both
"acknowledged" and "read", so no new column is needed.
- The restart continuation now includes `steeredMessages` and one
instruction to handle them, oldest first. The runtime reads them through
a lazy `getUnreadSteeredMessages` option, only when a restart
continuation starts. Native recovery wires it for every run.
- `queuedInteractionSteeringBody` is extracted, so recovery rebuilds a
steered interaction response with the same text the steer sent.
- Fake Codex gets `--consume-steer`, which emits the `userMessage` item
for an accepted steer, like real Codex.

## Verification

- Red/green live test with real runnerd and fake Codex
(`runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts`, "delivers a steered message the
restart lost exactly once"): start a held turn, steer it, SIGKILL runner
and provider, restore and recover.
- "unread": the continuation carries the message exactly once. Without
the runtime change this test fails.
- "read" (`--consume-steer`): the continuation does not carry it again.
- Both: after the continuation completes, a later restart has nothing to
deliver.
- `steering-delivery.test.ts`: ordering, dedupe, initial-input,
later-turn and completed-turn rules.
- `unread-steered-messages.test.ts` (embedded Postgres): ignores events
without a source id and messages from other issues. It reads interaction
text, ignores model-output items as read evidence, and returns nothing
after the continuation input.
- `pnpm vitest run src/steering-delivery.test.ts
src/live/runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts` (runner) and `pnpm vitest
run src/services/native-runtime/unread-steered-messages.test.ts`
(server): pass on the rebased revision.
- `issue-queued-comments-routes.test.ts` and
`native-session-runtime.test.ts -t restart`: pass.
`native-session-resume.test.ts` "archives a damaged prior epoch…" fails
locally on plain `origin/master` too (local runnerd binary); CI runs it
with a fresh build.
- Restart chaos (Codex steer mode, K1/K2/K6) runs after this lands in
the harness slot. Before: 0 of 6 steered messages answered.

## Risks

- Duplicate delivery: a provider that records steered input without a
`userMessage` item, or a `userMessage` event lost in the crash window
before persistence, makes recovery send the message again. The model
then sees it twice. That is safer than losing it, and the instruction
asks the model to handle each one once.
- Pi (ACPX) steering has no `userMessage` read evidence today, so a Pi
steer that the model already read before a restart may arrive again in
the continuation.
- Only the restart continuation carries the messages. Other recovery
paths start after a completed turn, which already read every steer.
- No schema or migration change. A session saved by an earlier release
resumes normally; its run log already holds the acknowledgement events.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 bf3a067076 feat(recovery): settle the finalizer and cleanup leases on the shared ownership path (#19950)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs keep their ownership in `native_run_finalizations`, and
the shared ownership reconciler now settles proven-gone owners (Phase 2
of the durable ownership plan)
> - The finalizer lease (`native-finalizer:*`, 5 min) and the
retained-session cleanup lease (`native-cleanup:*`, 60 s) recorded only
a random token. They named no holder process
> - A server killed while it finalized or cleaned up kept the run
waiting for the whole lease. The lease was released by age alone. A
graceful shutdown also keeps an in-progress finalizer lease for the next
boot to wait out
> - This pull request records the holder process with each claim and
moves both kinds onto the shared prover and a compare-and-swap settle
> - The benefit is that a dead holder's run continues in the first pass
after boot, and a live or unprovable holder is never released

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19933 (the settle hook and the first moved kind, merged).

**What happened?**
A finalizer or cleanup lease whose server process died stayed held until
the lease expired (5 min or 60 s). The run stayed `running` and its
follow-up work waited.

**What did you expect?**
The next boot proves the dead holder gone and frees the lease at once. A
live holder, or one that cannot be proven gone, keeps its lease.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Accept a native result and let the finalizer claim it.
2. Kill the server (SIGKILL) before the finalizer commits.
3. Start the server. The run stays `running` for up to 5 minutes.

## What Changed

- `native_run_finalizations.lease_holder` (jsonb, migration 0446):
`{token, bootId, pid, hostHash, processStartedAt}` of the process that
took a token-only lease. It names the holder only while `token` equals
`lease_owner`, so renewals keep it and a later lease never inherits it.
The executor's `controller_*` columns are not changed.
- The finalizer claim (`native-run-finalizer.ts`) and the cleanup claim
(`native-session-executor.ts`) write it in the same UPDATE as the lease,
from `currentControllerProcessStamp()` (no I/O).
- New `native-token-lease-settlement.ts`: compare-and-swap settle that
expires exactly the proven-gone holder's outstanding lease, after it
notifies the finalization or cleanup work that the expiry frees.
- Both claims also wake the ownership worker queue in their transaction,
so a quiet worker watches the new holder (Greptile round 1).
- `ownership-registry.ts`: `native_finalizer_lease` and
`native_cleanup_lease` register `settle`. Their owner is the holder
process; rows without a holder keep the token fence. Listings cover
outstanding leases only.
- `heartbeat/recovery.ts`: restart recovery settles both kinds before it
finalizes and schedules cleanup. A failure is logged and the reconciler
pass retries it.
- Two sparse partial indexes on `lease_expires_at` for the two listings,
so the settle watch re-check stays indexed.

Bespoke code deleted: none. These kinds had no liveness check; their
only release was lease age (the takeover in the claim), which stays as
the fence for unprovable holders.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts -t
"finalizer|cleanup|holder|exact lease"`: 12 passed (rerun after the
rebase on master). The crash-point test also asserts the ownership wake
for its run; it fails without the signal.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/ownership-reconciliation-report.test.ts`: 17 passed.
- Red on the base branch (server code at `bea3bfb20b`, tests and schema
from this branch): 7 new tests fail, 5 pass (the 5 are existing tests).
Red: the crash-point restart test, the two reconciler settle tests, the
three live/unprovable counter-cases (owner was a token fence), and the
exact-lease CAS test. The tests were written after the code.
- New tests:
- crash point: a finalizer claim was written and its holder killed
before commit; the next restart finalizes the run, and this boot's claim
stamps itself as holder;
- a dead finalizer or cleanup holder is settled by a recording pass,
never by a read-only pass (`record: false`); the accepted result and
phase are untouched;
- live counter-cases: a live earlier-boot PID (`pid_alive`), the current
boot (`current_process`), a dead PID in another PID space
(`different_process_space`, unprovable) keep the lease through a pass
and a restart;
- a holder written for another token, and a holderless row of the
previous release, stay token fences, also with
`PAPERCLIP_EPHEMERAL_SERVER=true`;
- settle refuses a lease taken over after the proof
(`owner_changed_since_proof`).
- Not run locally: typecheck (CI runs it) and the wide suites.

## Risks

- Previous-release story (rules/upgrade-safe-run-state.mdc): rows saved
by the previous release have no `lease_holder`. They stay token fences
and the existing claim takes them over at expiry. Neither lease outlives
5 min, so this covers at most 5 min after the upgrade. A rollback
ignores the new column.
- Unprovable holders (other host or PID space, unknown space): no
operator action. The lease is short and self-expiring; at expiry the
next claim takes it over and the old holder's next token
compare-and-swap fails. That fence is the handoff. A different host is
never proof.
- The settle only expires a lease. Finalization and cleanup still run
under their own checks (cleanup keeps its maintenance-history proofs).
Settling ownership does not settle the accepted result, workspace
preservation, or accounting.
- Migration adds a nullable column and two partial indexes on a sparse
predicate. Low risk.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits, local test runs).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 779913333a fix(documents): say whether an exact revision read is still current (#19939)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Task documents keep a revision history, and agents read and restore
revisions through the API
> - The exact-revision read returns one revision, but it does not say if
that revision is still current
> - An agent read the revision that it restored earlier by its ID and
reported it as "latest", but another person had saved a newer edit
> - This pull request adds the document's current revision to the
exact-revision read
> - The benefit is that a pinned read cannot pass as a read of the
current document

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened**

In a chat eval, the agent restored a plan revision. Then another person
saved a new revision. The user asked the agent to read the current plan.
The agent called `GET
/api/issues/{id}/documents/plan/revisions/{revisionId}` with the ID of
its own restored revision. The response did not show that a newer
revision existed. The agent reported the old revision as the latest and
said that the read confirmed this.

**Expected behavior**

A read of one exact revision must show if that revision is still
current, and which revision is current. Then the reader can see a newer
edit and read the current document.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Save two revisions of a task plan.
2. Call `GET
/api/issues/{id}/documents/plan/revisions/{firstRevisionId}`.
3. See that the response gives no sign that revision 2 is the current
revision.

## What Changed

- `getIssueDocumentRevision` now also returns `latestRevisionId`,
`latestRevisionNumber` and `isLatest`.
- Shared type `ExactDocumentRevision` describes this response. The UI
client uses it.
- The OpenAPI description of the exact-revision read names these fields
and points to `GET /api/issues/{id}/documents/{key}` for the current
text.
- The service test checks `isLatest` for an older and a current
revision.

## Verification

- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/documents-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts` (42 passed).
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/shared` passes.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change only adds fields to a read response. No caller
removes or renames a field. No migration.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), with tool use and code
execution.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 f5400e2594 feat(recovery): settle the accepted-result lease on the shared ownership path (#19933)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A control-plane restart can kill the controller after an agent's
result is accepted. The result then stays leased to a dead process.
> - Today a private sweep (`native-dead-controller-result-lease.ts`,
#19713) proves that controller dead with its own liveness rules.
> - The durable-ownership plan (#19831) replaces private proofs with one
prover (`proveOwnerGone`, #19853) and one registry (#19861).
> - This pull request moves the accepted-result executor lease to that
shared path and deletes the private sweep. It is Phase 2's first kind.
> - The benefit is one tested rule for when a dead owner's result lease
is released, and the reconciler now repairs a lease that restart
recovery missed.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831 (plan), #19853 (prover), #19861 (registry), #19713 (old
sweep), #19883 (legacy host fallback), #19927 (Phase 2 data).

**What happened?**
The accepted-result lease had its own liveness proof, separate from the
shared prover. The reconciler could only report a dead owner, not settle
it. When restart recovery missed a lease, it waited out the 20-minute
lease.

**What did you expect?**
One prover decides, and both restart recovery and the periodic
reconciler pass settle a lease whose controller is proven gone.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Accept a native run result.
2. Kill the controller (SIGKILL) and start a new server.
3. If the restart sweep does not see the row, the result stays leased
until the lease expires.

## What Changed

- `ownership-registry.ts`: a kind may register `settle` and
`onUnprovable`. `native_accepted_result_lease` registers both. Other
kinds stay report-only.
- New `native-accepted-result-lease-settlement.ts`: a compare-and-swap
settle that expires exactly the proven owner's lease. It keeps the old
guards: the run must still be `running`, remote copyback stays fenced,
and a lease taken over since the proof is left alone.
- `ownership-invariant-report.ts`: the pass calls `settle` on `gone` and
`onUnprovable` on `unprovable`. A read-only pass (`record: false`) never
settles. New `settleOwnableKind()` for restart recovery.
- `heartbeat/recovery.ts`: restart recovery calls
`settleOwnableKind("native_accepted_result_lease")` instead of the old
sweep.
- Deleted `native-dead-controller-result-lease.ts`.
- `owner-proof.ts`: accepts a board attestation (`operator_attested`).
It also keeps the one-release local fallback for rows saved before their
PID space was recorded, on single-host servers only, and flags each use
so it is logged (`legacy_host_unknown_dead_pid_proof`, #19883). An
ephemeral server returns `unprovable` (`process_space_unrecorded`) and
the existing "confirm the previous server stopped" board action is
raised.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts`: 27 pass, 7
of them new.
- `npx vitest run src/services/owner-proof.test.ts
src/__tests__/ownership-reconciliation-report.test.ts`: pass.
- Red/green (tests written after the code): 5 new behaviour tests fail
on master and pass here. They cover the ephemeral board action, the
reconciler-pass settle, the live-owner counter-case in that pass, the
legacy marker, and operator attestation. The stamped-dead-controller and
foreign-PID-space cases pass on both, as the old path behaved the same.
- Server typecheck passes (`npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json`).
- Not run locally: the full server suite (`pnpm verify` asks for broad
coverage because a file was deleted). Required CI covers it.

## Risks

- Previous-release story (rules/upgrade-safe-run-state.mdc): NRF rows
saved before #19868 have no `controller_host_hash`. They keep the same
one-release local proof as before on single-host servers, and each use
is logged. On ephemeral servers they stay unprovable and ask the board,
as before. Rows on another PID space keep their lease (the fence), as
before.
- Fail-open risk: settle is compare-and-swap on the lease token, boot,
PID, host hash and start time of the proven owner. An `unprovable` owner
is never released. Live-owner and foreign-space cases are tested.
- No change adds work before `turn.start`.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, in Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 18644a3263 feat(recovery): instrument 20 durable write boundaries with crash points (#19938)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A control-plane restart between two durable writes leaves an
in-progress record owned by a dead process
> - #19937 added `crashPoint(name)` and a registry of 20 named
boundaries from the Phase 0 inventory
> - A name without a call site cannot fire, so the crash-point suite
cannot test it
> - This pull request puts one call at each registered boundary and adds
a test that keeps the registry and the call sites in step
> - The benefit is that the on-demand suite (next pull request) can kill
the control plane at every known write-ahead gap

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831 (plan, Phase 5). Refs #19846 (inventory, "Write-ahead
coverage"). Stacked on #19937 (helper and registry). Refs #19861
(ownable kind ids).

**Problem**
The registered crash points have no call sites.

**Expected behavior**
Each registered point is called at its gap: after the first durable
write or outside effect returns, before the next one starts. Disarmed
(always in production) each call is one comparison.

**Scope**
Call sites and a coverage test only. The suite runner and CI workflow
follow.

## What Changed

- Server call sites (`@paperclipai/shared/crash-points`):
- `sandbox-creation-operations.ts`: around the provider `create` call
(intent → provider → lease).
- `native-session-executor.ts`: after `native.process_start_requested`,
before spawn.
- `paperclip-control-plane-port.ts`: after the result-accept
transaction, before finalization starts (only when a result was
inserted).
- `native-run-finalizer.ts`: after `commitNativeStatusDecision`, before
the run projection.
- `workspace-operations.ts`: `workspace_finalize` only — after the
running row, and after `settle()` before the done row.
- `environment-runtime.ts`: provider release → lease row; teardown claim
→ destroy; reusable destroy → lease release; stop-and-retain claim →
stop.
- `heartbeat.ts`: lease release → runtime services; budget reservation
hold → dispatch.
- `heartbeat/queue.ts`: run claimed `running` → wake request `claimed`.
- `run-cost-accounting.ts`, `usage-receipts.ts`: accounting commit →
spool unlink; receipt spool → DB row → unlink.
- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/crash-point.ts`: a small copy of the
helper for controller code in this package, which does not depend on
`@paperclipai/shared` (adding that dependency would change the runner
content ID). It arms only `runner.*` names. runnerd never sees the
variable: its environment is an allowlist.
- Runner call sites: after the runnerd spawn, before its identity is
published (both spawn paths); `turn.start` result received → controller
journal saved → next send.
- `server/src/__tests__/crash-point-call-sites.test.ts`: every
registered point has a call site, every call names a registered point,
and every `kinds` entry is an ownable kind id of the Phase 1 registry.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/crash-point-call-sites.test.ts` → 3 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` → clean. `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec tsc --noEmit -p .` → clean.
- Behavior with nothing armed is unchanged: each call returns at its
first comparison (measured in #19937: about 3.7 ns).

## Risks

- Low risk. No call changes control flow unless `PAPERCLIP_CRASH_POINT`
names it and `NODE_ENV` is not `production`.
- Points on the path before `turn.start` (process start, runner spawn)
cost nanoseconds, within plan invariant 8.
- `usage-receipts.ts`: the persist-then-unlink one-liner became a block
with the same statements in the same order.
- The runner package change gives the runner a new content ID, as any
runner source change does. No persisted run state changes
(rules/upgrade-safe-run-state.mdc).

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits) and a read-only exploration subagent that
mapped the boundaries.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 2a2d3f6e23 fix(ui): stop refetching the @task mention pool on every task event (#19931)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The board UI keeps its caches fresh from live events in
`LiveUpdatesProvider`
> - Each task activity event invalidates the whole `["issues",
companyId]` query prefix
> - That prefix also holds the `@task` mention pool: the 100 most
recently updated tasks, about 315 KB per response
> - A chat turn emits many comment, status and run events, so an open
task page downloads that list again for almost every event
> - This pull request keeps the pool fresh from push events without a
refetch per event: a closed server flag marks real membership or title
changes, progress on pooled tasks reorders the cache in place, and other
progress refetches at most once per 30 seconds
> - The benefit is less bandwidth and CPU for users with an open task or
chat, and smaller eval traces

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened**
While a task chat page is open, the browser repeats `GET
/api/companies/:id/issues?limit=100&sortField=updated&sortDir=desc`
(about 315 KB each). One 10-minute chat-eval attempt recorded about 194
of these requests. The trigger is `invalidateActivityQueries` in
`ui/src/context/LiveUpdatesProvider.tsx`. For every `entityType:
"issue"` activity event, it invalidates
`queryKeys.issues.list(companyId)`. That prefix matches
`queryKeys.issues.mentionPool(companyId)`, which `IssueDetail` (and
`NewIssueDialog`) keep active for the `@task` picker. Invalidation
refetches active queries and ignores `staleTime`.

**Expected behavior**
Comments, run progress and status changes on any task do not download
the full mention pool again. The pool still updates when a task that the
picker can show is created, deleted or renamed.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run `pnpm dev` and create a company with about 140 tasks.
2. Open a task page, for example `/REF/issues/REF-1`.
3. Every 4 seconds for 15 rounds, post comments on the open task, on a
task in the top 100, and on a task outside the top 100, and change the
open task's priority (60 events).
4. Count requests to `issues?limit=100&sortField=updated`. Before this
change there are 15 (about 3.3 MB). After this change there are 2 (about
480 KB).

## What Changed

- New shared helper `issueActivityChangesTaskIdentity`
(`packages/shared/src/issue-activity-identity.ts`). It is true for a
created, deleted, hidden, unhidden or renamed task.
- `server/src/realtime/live-events-ws.ts`: task `activity.logged` events
now carry the closed boolean `taskIdentityChanged`. Authenticated
sockets still get no `details`; the flag carries no task content.
- `ui/src/context/LiveUpdatesProvider.tsx` refreshes the mention pool
this way:
- The task identity flag is true (or full details show a create, delete,
hide, unhide or rename): the pool refetches at once.
- Other events on a task already in the pool: the task moves to the
front of the cached list. There is no request. The freshness clock does
not change, and a pending invalidation is never overwritten.
- Other events on a task outside the pool: one trailing refetch at most
every 30 seconds, because the task can now be in the top 100.
  - The picker is closed: the pool is only marked stale.
- `ui/src/lib/query-invalidation-batcher.ts`: new `excludingQueryKeys()`
keyed exclusion predicate. The batcher coalesces it and uses it for
prefix coverage. The broad `["issues", companyId]` invalidation uses it
to skip the pool, so a burst is again one broad refresh per batch.
- Tests: `ui/src/context/LiveUpdatesProvider.mention-pool.test.ts`
(authenticated event shape, hide and unhide, the 30-second window,
reorder safety, a burst through the batcher), new batcher tests,
`packages/shared/src/issue-activity-identity.test.ts`, and socket
assertions in `server/src/__tests__/live-events-toast.test.ts`.

## Verification

- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/context/LiveUpdatesProvider
src/lib/query-invalidation-batcher`: 231 tests pass.
- `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/live-events-toast.test.ts`:
11 tests pass. In authenticated mode the socket keeps `details` off and
sends `taskIdentityChanged` (false for routine updates, true for a
create, rename or hide).
- `cd packages/shared && npx vitest run
src/issue-activity-identity.test.ts`: 14 tests pass.
- The new UI tests fail against the first commit of this PR: the
authenticated burst, hide, unhide, the 30-second window and the batcher
burst.
- `tsc --noEmit` for ui, server and shared: no new errors.
- Browser measurement: a local `pnpm dev` instance (local trusted),
headless Chromium on a task page, 141 tasks, 60 events over about 63
seconds (the reproduction steps above):
  - Before (master UI): **15** mention-pool requests, about 3.3 MB.
  - After: **2** requests, about 480 KB (one per 30-second window).
- Freshness after the fix: one rename, hide, unhide or create each
caused **1** refetch. A priority change caused **0**.
- I did not run a browser session in authenticated mode. The
authenticated event shape is covered by the socket test and the UI unit
tests.

## Risks

- A task that moves into the top 100 can be missing from the `@task`
picker for up to 30 seconds.
- The cached order is approximate between refetches: a moved task goes
to the front, but its `updatedAt` value is not changed.
- Other queries under `["issues", companyId]` (descendants,
created-from, summaries, onboarding first task) still refresh for each
event batch. They are small, but they can get the same treatment later.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), with tool use and code
execution in Claude Code.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 4a8c8003fd feat(recovery): add the crashPoint helper and crash-point registry (#19937)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A control-plane restart can land between two durable writes and
leave an in-progress record owned by a dead process
> - The restart-chaos campaign found these windows (20 ms–1 s) by luck,
with random kill timing
> - The durable ownership plan (Phase 5, "Testing: enumerate crash
points") asks for named crash points at each durable write boundary, so
a suite can kill the process at each one on purpose
> - Phases 2–4 run in parallel and need the helper early for their
per-kind tests
> - This pull request adds only the `crashPoint` helper and the registry
of named points
> - The benefit is one shared, zero-cost way to mark a boundary and to
arm it in a test

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831 (plan, "Testing: enumerate crash points", Phase 5). Refs
#19846 (Phase 0 inventory). Refs #19861 (Phase 1 registry; the
crash-point `kinds` use its kind ids).

**Problem**
No code marks the durable write boundaries. A test cannot stop the
control plane at a chosen boundary, so restart bugs are found only when
random chaos timing hits a window.

**Expected behavior**
A call `crashPoint("<name>")` at each boundary. In test mode an
environment variable makes the process SIGKILL itself at the nth hit of
one name. In production the call does nothing and costs nothing
measurable.

**Scope**
Helper and registry only. The call sites, the suite runner and the CI
workflow follow in separate pull requests.

## What Changed

- `packages/shared/src/crash-points.ts` (subpath export
`@paperclipai/shared/crash-points`, server-side only):
- `crashPoint(name)`. Disarmed, it is one comparison against a module
constant.
- `PAPERCLIP_CRASH_POINT=<name>[:<nth>]` arms one point when the module
loads. The nth hit appends a JSON receipt to
`PAPERCLIP_CRASH_POINT_RECEIPT` (optional), writes a `[crash-point]`
line to stderr, and sends SIGKILL to the process.
- `PAPERCLIP_CRASH_POINT_GATE=<file>` (optional): hits before the file
exists do not count, so setup work cannot fire the point.
- The variable is ignored when `NODE_ENV=production`. An unknown name
throws at import, so a typo cannot arm nothing.
- `armCrashPointForTest(spec)` throws `CrashPointReached` at the nth hit
instead, for in-process per-kind tests (Phases 2–4). It returns a disarm
function.
- `packages/shared/src/crash-point-registry.ts` (browser-safe data): 20
named points from the inventory's write-ahead table. Each has a
description, the environments that reach it (local, Daytona), the
ownable kind ids it affects, and the invariants (I1–I8) at risk. Names
follow `<subsystem>.<record>.<before|after>_<step>`.
- `packages/shared/src/crash-points.test.ts`: registry shape, spec
parsing, throw mode, real SIGKILL of a child process with a receipt, the
gate, production disarm, unknown-name refusal, and a disarmed-cost
check.

## Verification

- `cd packages/shared && npx vitest run src/crash-points.test.ts` → 11
passed.
- Disarmed cost on an M-series Mac: `crashPoint disarmed: 3.66 ns/call
(empty call 0.61 ns)`. A turn passes a handful of points, so the added
time before `turn.start` is in nanoseconds (plan invariant 8). The test
fails if the cost exceeds an empty call by more than 10 ns.
- `cd packages/shared && npx tsc --noEmit -p .` → clean.

## Risks

- Low risk. Nothing calls `crashPoint` yet, and nothing reads the
variable in production.
- An operator who sets `PAPERCLIP_CRASH_POINT` on a non-production
server makes it kill itself. The variable name and the `[crash-point]
armed` stderr line make this visible.
- No persisted run state changes (rules/upgrade-safe-run-state.mdc: no
previous-release story is needed).

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits) and a read-only exploration subagent.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 7fd98682ca fix(workspaces): give every subtask its own execution workspace (#19860)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents split work into child tasks, and each task runs in an
execution workspace (a checkout, branch, or sandbox folder)
> - Since early 2026, a new child task used its parent's realized
workspace by default: the same checkout, branch and sandbox
> - A parent and its child often run at the same time. Two writers in
one folder lose each other's files, the waking parent is cancelled with
`workspace_busy`, and sandbox lease ownership crosses from the parent
into the child, so retained-file recovery refuses the workspace as
ambiguous
> - The product rule is simple: a subtask gets its own workspace,
independent of the parent's saved files. Paperclip never needs to carry
a parent's unmerged changes into a child
> - This pull request makes that the only behaviour on every creation
path, and moves existing shared children to their own workspace on their
next run, with no user or admin action
> - The benefit is that parents and children never block or overwrite
each other, and recovery ownership stays with one task

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A child task inherited its parent's realized execution workspace by
default (`createChild` defaulted to `executionWorkspaceInheritanceMode:
"linkage"`, and `issueService.create` fell back from
`inheritExecutionWorkspaceFromIssueId` to `parentId`). When the parent
woke while the child wrote to the shared workspace, the parent run was
cancelled with `workspace_busy`. In sandbox environments, the lease
ownership chain crossed from the parent into the child, and
retained-file recovery refused the workspace with
`allocation_ownership_ambiguous`.

**Expected behavior**
Every new child task gets its own execution workspace, realized from the
project base exactly as a top-level task in that project. It never uses
the parent's checkout, branch, saved snapshot or unmerged changes. A
parent and its descendant never share a workspace by any route.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a parent task in a project with isolated (git worktree) or
sandbox workspaces, so the parent has a realized execution workspace.
2. From the parent run, create a child task with only `parentId` (or
through the runner `create_task` tool, chat suggestions, decision
effects, plugins, or the New sub-task dialog).
3. See that the child's `executionWorkspaceId` is the parent's, with
`executionWorkspacePreference: "reuse_existing"`.
4. Wake the parent while the child runs in a sandbox environment. The
parent run is cancelled with `workspace_busy`.

**Additional context**
Refs #9233 (the existing `strategy_only` opt-out).
The opt-out `executionWorkspaceInheritanceMode: "strategy_only"` already
existed for accepted-plan decomposition. This change makes that
behaviour (tightened to drop a pinned existing branch) the only
behaviour.

## What Changed

- **One rule for every creation path
(`server/src/services/issues.ts`).** `issueService.create` still uses
the parent (or `inheritExecutionWorkspaceFromIssueId`) as a source for
the project, project workspace and workspace *strategy*, but it never
copies the source's `executionWorkspaceId`, `reuse_existing` preference,
or pinned existing branch. All server paths that create a task go
through `create()`/`createChild()`: issue routes (`POST /issues`, `POST
/issues/:id/children`, the run-bound default parent and run workspace
source), runner `create_task`, chat suggestion acceptance, native status
decisions, accepted-plan decomposition, decision effects, plugins
(`ctx.issues.create`), external agents, watchdog follow-ups, monitor
recovery issues, case handoffs and email channels.
- **Explicit ancestor workspaces are dropped.** If a create names an
`executionWorkspaceId` (or an `existing` workspace selection) that an
ancestor of the new task created or is bound to, `create()` drops it and
keeps only the strategy. Older clients and skills that copied the
parent's id keep working and get an independent workspace.
- **`createChild` no longer has a "linkage" mode.**
`executionWorkspaceInheritanceMode` is still accepted from internal
callers and is ignored.
- **`inheritExecutionWorkspaceFromIssueId` decision.** I kept the field
for API compatibility, but it now copies only the source issue's project
and workspace strategy. I removed its workspace-sharing behaviour for
every pair, not only parent/child: the source task and its follow-up can
run at the same time (the runner, watchdog and status-decision callers
all create the follow-up while the source run is live), so sharing would
again let two tasks write one folder. Explicit sharing between unrelated
tasks stays available through an explicit `existing` workspace
selection.
- **New `server/src/services/task-workspace-lineage.ts`.**
`buildIndependentTaskWorkspaceSettings` (strategy only: mode,
environment, runtime, network egress, shared-workspace concurrency, base
ref, branch template, commands; no `reuse_existing`, no
`operator_branch`, no `existingBranch`), `loadTaskLineageIssueIds` (the
parent chain plus, for a task that depth placement put beside its
requester, the requester's chain via `privacyParentIssueId`) and
`isAncestorExecutionWorkspace` (the workspace's `sourceIssueId` is in
that lineage, or a lineage issue is bound to it). A child in another
project does not take the parent's strategy.
- **Upgrade-safe rebind at admission.**
`executionWorkspaceService.releaseAncestorWorkspaceBindingAtAdmission`
runs at the same admission point as the pending workspace selection
(`heartbeat.ts`). For a child (or a flattened task beside its requester)
that an older release bound to an ancestor's workspace, it clears the
child's binding (keeps the project workspace and strategy, bumps the
binding revision) so the run realizes the child's own workspace. It does
nothing while another run of the child is running, while the child's
earlier run still owns workspace finalization or recovery, for native
restart/lease-owner recovery, for a process-loss retry, or for a Retry
that keeps the current workspace. The parent and its workspace are never
changed.
- **Projects without a project workspace (per-task repository
acquisition).** A parent with no project workspace worked in its own
task files, so its settings (for example `isolated_workspace`) do not
describe the project base. A child of such a parent, and an older child
released from one, takes the project's defaults exactly like a top-level
task, instead of an isolated mode that would resolve to a git worktree
with no git base ("needs a project / project workspace"). When the
child's new workspace is created at admission,
`executionWorkspaceRepositoryService.prepareForAdmission` repeats the
parent's (or requester's) repository requests as the child's own pending
requests (identity, URL, catalog id and requested ref only; no pinned
commit, branch or files). The normal acquisition path then clones a
fresh copy into the child's task files with the child's own access
checks. This runs only for a workspace created by that admission, so
existing tasks never gain repositories.
- **UI.** The New sub-task dialog no longer pre-selects the parent's
workspace. `buildSubIssueDefaults` drops `executionWorkspaceId` and
`reuse_existing`, and derives the parent's independent mode
(`shared_workspace`, `isolated_workspace` or `agent_default`) from its
preference, saved settings or current workspace. The "This sub-task will
no longer use the parent task workspace" warning is removed.
- **Contracts and docs.** Shared validator and plugin SDK comments
describe the new meaning of `inheritExecutionWorkspaceFromIssueId`.
Updated `doc/execution-semantics.md` (new rule in §6 and a wording fix
in the retained-sandbox paragraph), `doc/SPEC-implementation.md` (child
workspace rule, requester keeps *strategy* inheritance, watchdog
follow-ups), `doc/SPEC.md` (task workspace ownership),
`docs/specs/external-task-protocol.md`, `skills/paperclip/SKILL.md`
(step 9 and the workspace bullet),
`skills/paperclip/references/issue-workspaces.md`, the CEO onboarding
`HEARTBEAT.md`, and the plugin SDK README.

### Previous-release story (`rules/upgrade-safe-run-state.mdc`)

- **Migrated on next admission.** A child that the previous release
bound to its parent's (or any ancestor's) execution workspace keeps that
binding until its next normal admission. Then the server clears the
binding and the run realizes the child's own workspace from the project
base. No schema migration is needed. No user or admin action is needed.
- **In-flight writers finish first.** A running child is not
interrupted. Its current run, its native restart recovery (admitted
native input or lease owner), a process-loss retry, and a Retry that
keeps the current workspace all finish in the shared workspace. While a
child's earlier run is still running or its workspace finalization or
recovery is unsettled, the binding stays and a later admission releases
it.
- **No files are dropped.** The release changes only the child's binding
row. The parent keeps its binding, and the shared workspace row, folder,
branch and saved snapshots are not touched. Anything the child left
there stays in the parent's workspace.
- **No new refusal codes.** Saved run identity (native execution input,
leases, checkpoints) is not changed or refused; the rebind only affects
new admissions.

## Verification

- New `server/src/__tests__/subtask-workspace-independence.test.ts`
(embedded Postgres): `create` with `parentId`, `createChild` with no
mode / `"linkage"` / `"strategy_only"`,
`inheritExecutionWorkspaceFromIssueId` pointing at the parent, explicit
parent and grandparent `executionWorkspaceId`, a non-child follow-up,
and unchanged top-level defaults and explicit top-level reuse. 7
creation cases fail on `master` and pass with this change. Admission
cases: an old-release child is rebound while its parent is running and
the parent keeps its workspace; a running child is not rebound (deploy
lands mid-run); an unrelated explicit share is kept; the parent is never
rebound.
- New heartbeat case in
`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-busy.test.ts`: an old-release
child bound to its running parent's workspace in a sandbox environment
runs to `succeeded` with no `workspace_busy`, gets a new workspace, and
the parent run and binding stay unchanged. It fails on `master` (the
child waits with `workspace_busy`).
- Updated tests that asserted the old inheritance in
`issues-service.test.ts`, `task-workspace-binding.test.ts`,
`chat-project-tools.test.ts`, `task-workspace-child-trust.test.ts`,
`heartbeat-git-restore-point-resume.test.ts` (a child bound to a closed
parent's expired workspace now starts from the project base and leaves
the parent's restore point alone), and
`ui/src/lib/subIssueDefaults.test.ts`. Remote-workspace reservation,
continuation and writer-wait suites now seed the older-release shared
shape directly (or an unrelated explicit share), so those safety paths
stay covered.
- `npx vitest run` on the changed suites and about 45 related server
suites (heartbeat workspace, recovery admission, issue routes, routines,
plugins), `ui` `subIssueDefaults` and `NewIssueDialog` tests, `pnpm
check:token-gates`, `pnpm -r typecheck`.

- New
`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-subtask-acquired-repository.test.ts`: a
project with no project workspace, a parent whose task files hold an
acquired repository with an unmerged change, and a child (new, and the
older-release shape bound to the parent's workspace) that runs to
`succeeded` in its own task files with a fresh clone at the project base
and its own ready repository receipt. The parent's checkout keeps its
change. Both cases fail on the previous head with "needs a project /
project workspace".

## Risks

- **Project-level configuration still applies to children exactly as to
top-level tasks.** In a project configured for `shared_workspace`, every
task (top-level or child) uses the project's one folder under the
existing shared-workspace concurrency policy. A branch that the project
itself pins applies to every task in the project. This PR removes only
the parent-to-child carry-over of the realized workspace; it does not
change those project defaults.
- **Standalone follow-ups that an older release bound through
`inheritExecutionWorkspaceFromIssueId`** are migrated only when the
source is in their recorded lineage (parent or privacy parent). Others
keep their explicit share and the existing writer-wait serialization.

- **Behaviour change for agents that relied on a shared checkout.** A
child or follow-up no longer sees the parent's unpushed or uncommitted
changes. Agents must push or merge code they want a subtask to build on.
The skill and onboarding text now say this.
- **Explicit ancestor workspace ids are silently dropped** instead of
rejected, so older clients do not break. The task gets an independent
workspace.
- **First run of a migrated child starts from the project base.** If an
older child had uncommitted work in the parent's workspace, that work
stays in the parent's workspace and is not copied into the child's new
workspace.
- **Admission adds one indexed read** for tasks with a parent and a
bound workspace; the locking transaction and ancestor query run only
when the bound workspace was created by another issue.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 5f1b1bb81d fix(recovery): continue from the last save when a retained source cannot be verified (#19867)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - When a native run cannot save its files, a retained-file recovery
hold blocks the task until the worker saves them from the retained
sandbox.
> - The worker verifies the recorded source strictly. This includes the
reusable-lease chain of the sandbox.
> - A reusable sandbox chain can cross from a parent task into a child
task. The check then refuses the source with
`allocation_ownership_ambiguous` on every attempt.
> - Retry repeats the same refusal. The task stays blocked by three
gates: the saved-work wait, the repair flag and the remote writer hold.
The only text left tells a person to inspect the run and its
environment.
> - The source check must stay strict. Recovery must still work without
a person.
> - This pull request adds an automatic fallback: the task continues
from its last committed workspace save, the unverified files are
attached to the task but never applied, and the unverified workspace
epoch is abandoned so its root is never reused.
> - The benefit is that tasks with an unverifiable retained source
continue by themselves, with no lost saved work and no admin action.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19840 (removes the "inspect the run and its environment" text and
keeps Retry; this change removes the need for that Retry).

**What happened?**

A child task ran in a reusable sandbox that it inherited from its parent
task. The run saved a checkpoint, wrote more files, and then failed to
save them. Retained-file recovery refused the source with
`allocation_ownership_ambiguous`, because the lease history of the
sandbox crosses into the parent task. The hold was exhausted after one
attempt. Retry made a new generation that failed the same way. The task
stayed blocked with `saved_work_recovery_failed`,
`workspaceRepairRequired: true`, and the failed run still the dirty
writer of the workspace. A second task had a stale exhausted hold for a
run whose files a sibling recovery action had already saved. That hold
also kept the task from continuing.

**Expected behavior**

Recovery works without a person. When the source cannot be verified, the
task continues from its last saved version. The unverified files are not
applied, but they stay available. A stale hold whose files were already
saved settles as recovered.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use a native run with a remote workspace whose reusable sandbox lease
history includes a lease of another task.
2. Let the run save a checkpoint, write more files, and fail its final
save.
3. Let retained-file recovery run, or press Retry.
4. Before this change, the hold is exhausted with
`allocation_ownership_ambiguous` and the task stays blocked.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on deployed builds that include `630411af53`. Holds saved by
the Nov 3–6 releases have this shape.

## What Changed

- New `server/src/services/workspace-recovery-fallback.ts`:
- `continueFromLastSavedWorkspace` runs when a hold is exhausted by a
permanent source refusal: `allocation_ownership_ambiguous`,
`source_binding_invalid`, `source_unavailable` or
`historical_source_missing` with retry class `service_required` or
`use_alternative_strategy`. It applies only to remote workspace sources
in the `prepared` state.
- Quarantine (secrets omitted under the workspace file policy: `.env`,
keys, repository metadata, dependency directories): if the retained root
is readable, the worker copies it with the existing read-only capture
(no write to the sandbox), converts it to a `.tar`, stores it, and
attaches it to the task as `unverified-files-run-<runId>.tar`. A
`workspace_recovery_quarantine` operation records it as `verified:
false, applied: false`. If the root is not readable, the worker records
a closed reason label.
- Stop proof: every allocation of the source run must carry a provider
stop receipt. A missing receipt is obtained through the same stop-only
cleanup as normal recovery (`prepareSandboxStopAndRetain` /
`prepareHistoricalSandboxStopVerification`,
`retryPendingSandboxTeardown`, `settleStopOnlyCleanup`). A sandbox that
another lease holds (`active` / `pending_cleanup`) is never read or
stopped from here; the hold waits.
- One transaction (lock order: task, coordinator, run, recovery action,
workspace) re-checks all facts including the stop receipts, abandons the
epoch, resolves the hold with the named outcome
`retained_source_unverifiable_continued_from_last_saved`, records an
`executionReconciliation` decision with `retainedSourceFallback`, and
denies native replacement. A Blocked task belongs to the hold only while
the hold's own `workspaceFinalizationBlock` receipt still owns that
status version, or, for receipt-less holds saved by older releases,
while the block was set by the run's terminal failure (within its
finalization window) and no status decision followed. Only then is the
task restored to `todo` and a continuation scheduled; a newer block is
kept and no continuation starts. The decision carries machine
`workspaceRepairEvidence`, which the reconciled admission requires for
runs with a restore failure.
- Continuation: with no waiting user input, the hold uses
`continuationDelivery: "pending"`, so the existing reconciled delivery
starts one continuation. Waiting user input continues the task itself
(`not_requested`), so there is never a second continuation.
- Agent note: the decision's `outcomeEvidence` (part of the
continuation's recovery outcomes) says that the run's unsaved changes
could not be verified and were not applied, where the attached copy is,
that the agent should check what to redo, and that completed external
actions must not be repeated.
- `settleSiblingRecoveredHold`: an exhausted hold whose run has a
verified repair receipt from a different recovery action settles as
recovered. It runs for every exhausted hold, including adoptable native
sources. A sibling marked recovered whose receipt no longer verifies
records a permanent deferral, so discovery does not reselect it.
- Deferral: when the fallback cannot settle yet, the hold records
`retainedSourceFallbackCheck` (reason, generation, count). Transient
reasons (live writer, running operation, missing stop, sandbox in use,
pending status effect, lock busy, storage failure) are checked again
after 5 minutes, at most 12 times. Permanent reasons (uncertain external
action, non-remote source) wait for new input, Retry or a new
generation. Storage or database failures after a successful read are
retryable and never recorded as "unreadable".
- New `server/src/services/workspace-recovery-fallback-discovery.ts`:
SQL for pending and due fallbacks. `retainedWorkspaceCandidates` (the
production worker's obligations sweep) and `nextWorkspaceRecoveryAt`
(its scheduler) include them, so the worker reaches old holds without
saved input.
- New `server/src/services/remote-workspace-epoch-abandonment.ts` (kept
out of `remote-workspaces.ts`, which is near 1,000 lines): authority
transition `abandonUnverifiedRemoteWorkspaceEpoch`. It clears the writer
and the dirty flag, keeps `snapshotId`, drops `location`, advances the
epoch, clears `providerRef` and the migration root, and records the
abandoned epoch. The next preparation restores the last save into a new
`<workspace>-<epoch>-<lease>` root.
- `server/src/services/workspace-recovery.ts`: hooks. An exhausted hold
first tries the sibling settlement, then the fallback (under the
existing workspace ownership lock). A fresh permanent refusal in an
attempt runs the fallback in the same pass, under the same ownership.
- `remote-workspace-transport.ts`: export the existing read-only
capture.
- `packages/shared`: optional `retainedSourceFallback` on
`ExecutionReconciliation`.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: document the fallback.
- No new polling or worker: the fallback runs inside the existing
retained-workspace recovery pass
(`rules/sleep-aware-background-work.mdc`).

Safety:

- The cross-task lease check (`retiredReusableLeasePredecessors`) is
unchanged and stays strict. Unverified files are never applied.
- No second executor: the source run, its controller and its finalizer
must be stopped. A live writer of the task or workspace, or a running
workspace operation, keeps the hold.
- No repeated external side effects: pending status effects,
non-completed or unknown API receipts, and uncertain tool invocations
keep the existing reconciliation path. The continuation keeps the
existing API receipt fences.
- Never overwrite another run's files: only the exact epoch that the
failed run wrote is abandoned, and the old root is never reused.
- Bounded and idempotent: a settled hold is never revisited. The
quarantine record is reused. A changed generation or revision leaves the
hold unchanged.

Previous-release story (`rules/upgrade-safe-run-state.mdc`): holds saved
by earlier releases carry forward. A hold saved by the Nov 3–6 releases
(`systemRecovery` exhausted with `allocation_ownership_ambiguous` /
`service_required`, board owner, old admin text) takes the fallback on
the next worker pass after deploy (restart sweep, Retry, or a new
message). No migration is needed. Refusals that do not qualify keep
today's behavior. The only new persisted shapes are additive:
`retainedSourceFallback` and `siblingWorkspaceRecovery` on the hold,
`remoteWorkspaceAbandonedEpochs` on the workspace, and a
`workspace_recovery_quarantine` operation. Earlier releases ignore them.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/workspace-recovery-fallback.test.ts` — 15 tests:
- cross-task hold, saved by the previous release and refused fresh:
continues from the checkpoint snapshot, the quarantine `.tar` holds the
unverified file, the epoch is abandoned, `getExecutionBlocker` is
`null`, the task is `todo`, explicit continuation is not blocked by
`saved_work_recovery_failed` or `workspace_repair_required`, one
reconciled continuation is delivered, and the next writer restores into
a new root while the old root keeps its files;
  - unreadable root: continues and records the reason;
- idempotency: a second pass changes nothing and delivers no second
continuation;
  - waiting user input: no second continuation;
- negatives (live writer, pending side effect, uncertain external
action, sandbox held by another lease): the hold stays, the authority is
unchanged, nothing is attached or delivered, the deferral reason and
recheck time are recorded;
- an allocation without a stop receipt is stopped (stop-only) before the
hold settles;
- the production worker (`reconcileRetainedWorkspaces` with
`obligationsOnly`) and `nextWorkspaceRecoveryAt` discover and settle an
old hold with no saved input; a transient deferral is not revisited
until due, then settles;
- an old-release hold without a Blocked receipt keeps its status; a
current hold with the receipt is restored to `todo`;
- stale exhausted hold with a sibling-saved receipt settles as
recovered; one whose sibling receipt no longer verifies is recorded and
no longer discovered;
- a newer Blocked decision is kept and no continuation is delivered,
while the file hold settles;
  - the attached copy omits `.env` and key files.
- RED: with `workspace-recovery.ts` and `system-recovery.ts` reverted to
master, all tests fail.
- Regression suites pass: `workspace-recovery-warm-handoff`,
`workspace-recovery-retry-copyback`,
`workspace-recovery-preparation-gates`, `workspace-recovery-source`,
`task-retry`, `execution-blocker-read` (288 tests), and
`workspace-recovery-admission`, `workspace-recovery-preparation*`,
`remote-workspaces.integration`, `native-failed-workspace-recovery`,
`remote-workspace-transport`, `workspace-restore-repair-route` (683
tests).
- `server` typecheck passes.

## Risks

- A task now continues without the unverified changes of its failed run.
The agent receives a note and the attached copy, so it can redo or
re-apply the work. This replaces an indefinite block.
- Abandoning an epoch on a workspace shared with a parent task also
moves the parent to the last save. This is correct: the unverified
changes are not part of the saved lineage.
- Clearing the migration root means sessions bound to the old root start
fresh. The fallback continuation already forces a fresh session.
- The quarantine capture reads a sandbox that can be shared with another
task. It writes nothing there, and it verifies the copy against
inventories taken before and after.

Nicky Leach 0363ebec70 fix(connectors): stop GitHub access refreshes from advancing agent runtimes (#19902) 2026-11-07 14:43:39 -08:00
Dotta eb7c7b083a Recover Muse verification after contact, restart and access restoration (#19909)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work under company access
rules.
> - Muse readiness uses a saved connection, receiver contact and an
authenticated challenge reply.
> - A failed challenge write could leave a saved contact with no later
recovery trigger.
> - A server restart or restored access must recover that contact under
current authority.
> - This pull request uses the existing delivery coordinator and saved
Muse state for recovery.
> - It keeps the normal receiver schedule, authorization checks and real
deadlines.
> - It lets eligible verification recover and lets idle verification
stop work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The first Muse receiver contact could persist while readiness challenge
creation failed. The contact then had no durable retry or startup
recovery path. Later membership, lifecycle or feature restoration could
also leave pending verification without a notice.

**Expected behavior**

Retry a temporary failure through the existing worker. Recover pending
contact after restart. Recheck the current company, agent, operator,
credential and binding generation before issuing a challenge. Stop
verification work while it is ineligible or complete. Do not revive
revoked credentials.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use the normal invitation and OAuth registration, PKCE and token
flow.
2. Send one receiver contact and let its normal persistence schedule
run.
3. Fail the first readiness challenge operation before it commits.
4. Observe whether the existing worker retries without another contact
or a manual Verify action.
5. Restart the App with a new database owner. Check that it creates one
usable challenge from the saved contact.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The causal baseline test used the unchanged production implementation at
`90148317b2a447794ff29a4acae5648ad11a9770` plus its normal fixture. The
accepted positive test used `9d383041028776ad8469ac4af3fe14ba6c369425`.
The initial published head was
`fe518c9b72504daf6374225987f24d45bc7bcf75`. The lease/auth correction
was locally qualified at `cfd515a207416097fe8b586277d70c4fd4a679fa`. The
current candidate is `6efe722e7eb1e22acd466125c7b4a627611d0273`; its
added Cloud actor fixture correction passed the full normal owning
program and all 35 tests. Its current normal build, lifecycle owner
controls, healthy-wait and restoration measurements are described below.
Earlier results below are bound to their stated revisions.

Related public changes: Refs #19819 for original-principal
authentication. Refs #19750 for the transaction-owned external feature
read. These are related foundations, not duplicate fixes. The current
Muse title and head-branch searches found no duplicate
contact-verification recovery PR. Related maintenance work is #17000 and
terminal assignment settlement is #17793.

## What Changed

- Add a typed, exact-binding verification notice through the existing
Muse delivery queue.
- Register the first-contact notice before its durable write in the same
transaction.
- Recover pending contact from saved state at startup. Retry temporary
failures through the existing scheduler.
- Recheck current feature, lifecycle, credential and access state after
commit. Park unavailable authority without recurring verification scans.
- Add narrowly scoped notices to the existing access, lifecycle,
configuration, company, budget and settings write owners.
- Save a healthy lifecycle verification wait in the existing operation
JSONB. Keep generic unresolved-work and error retries unchanged.
- Commit authenticated confirmation and its lifecycle recheck in one
transaction. Retain a raced recheck under the active lease, and recover
saved waits once at startup.
- Retain a committed lifecycle recheck while an expired attempt still
owns the row, so its late wait cannot park accepted confirmation.
Replacement claims keep their existing owner fence and fresh fact read.
- Keep the receiver gap, persistence and per-segment contact limits
unchanged.
- Add real App OAuth, failure, retry, restart, challenge and quiet
evidence. Add two normal-route restoration tests.
- Document recovery, reconnect requirements and the existing
connected-receiver sleep restriction.

## Verification

- Causal baseline: the real invitation and OAuth flow saved one contact.
The first challenge operation failed. The normal test failed because it
observed one verification attempt instead of a retry. No setup or
cleanup failure was counted as this regression.
- At `9d383041`: normal own Shared/SDK, DB with migration 0441 assets,
Runner TypeScript core and surfaces, module boundaries, and all seven
normal App programs passed. One new redundant role comparison first
failed typecheck; that diagnostic remains recorded and the corrected
full App gate passed.
- At `9d383041`: all 17 maintenance component tests passed with zero
skips. All original deadline, rollback, drain, terminal settlement and
startup controls remain.
- At `9d383041`: the one normal App case passed. Real OAuth authorized
one receiver signal. A retry occurred about 5.01 seconds after the first
failure. A new Db/App owner created one challenge, advanced revision 2
to 3, and accepted authenticated confirmation and mailbox ACK. Query
instrumentation had an active positive control. All measured query,
callback, session and verifier counters stayed equal across the
unchanged scheduled 15-second quiet window. Token revocation and
old-token/signal rejection passed.
- Known App, worker, HTTP and database owners closed without cleanup
errors. The tests used bounded local PostgreSQL and HTTP fixtures. They
did not call a live Muse model.
- Current integrated semantics: the full normal App driver completed all
programs. Only a new test callback had two undefined-value diagnostics.
An explicit defined-value guard corrected that test. The full 416-root
owning program then passed with empty diagnostics. A separate collector
incorrectly required an explicit child `noEmit` field; the normal
inherited setting was verified without repeating the compiler. The
original failures remain recorded.
- The first restoration run failed both cases. Permission parking
recorded 120 main-pool queries without more verifier calls. The
lifecycle counter recorded two denials without their exact scope. These
observations remain unexplained at the individual-query/call level.
Source separately shows a lifecycle readiness retry every two seconds
while the real external reply is absent.
- At `fe518c9b`: normal Shared/SDK and DB producers, module policy, all
seven full App programs, and all 33 pure diagnostic controls passed. The
lifecycle owner file passed all 19 cases, including both
confirmation/park orders, rollback, duplicate notices, startup recovery
and authority controls.
- At `fe518c9b`: the normal OAuth failure/retry/new-Db reconstruction
case passed. Its new healthy-wait window measured 15,002 ms with
unchanged total activity before genuine confirmation; the existing ready
quiet and revocation checks also passed.
- At `fe518c9b`: both normal restoration tests passed in Vitest.
Ordinary viewer-to-operator restoration and Pause/Resume recovered the
same binding, grant and single contact; each committed one challenge and
advanced revision 2 to 3. All six parked, restored and revoked/disabled
quiet windows measured at least 15 seconds with active positive read
controls and unchanged total queries, callbacks, sessions and verifier
calls. Both cleanups passed.
- The restoration wrapper still recorded failure: it required lifetime
lifecycle denial count zero, whereas the measured count was one before
the parked quiet window. The reviewed fixture explicitly permits a
current-authority denial from an earlier observation and requires no
committed challenge before restoration. Precise denial timing relative
to Pause was not serialized. The original wrapper failure is retained;
no rerun or retrospective explanation of the earlier failures is
claimed.
- Review exposed an expired-lease race. The added real-store baseline
test failed after the late defer restored `waitingForSignal`; no setup
or timeout was counted as the regression. On `cfd515a`, the whole
lifecycle owner file passed all 20 tests, including that case. The full
normal production declaration program (1067 roots), verification program
(662), and auth owning program (405) passed; all 1942 declarations
remained byte-identical.
- The original remote auth-session shard failed three tests because
their partial query adapters lacked the new binding query's
join/order/limit chain. A fixture-only correction preserved the real
notifier and existing authorization assertions. All 12 auth-session
tests passed locally.
- Complete remote inspection also found 33 failures in the 35-test Cloud
actor fixture with the same missing `innerJoin` method and downstream
incomplete-auth assertions. Its original full log and exact synthetic
Source comparison are retained. At `6efe722e`, the three-line fixture
adapter repair passed the complete normal 662-root test program and the
whole 35-test file with zero failures or skips. All existing lock,
authorization, settings, debounce and unfinished-auth assertions remain.
- The earlier healthy/restoration quiet measurements remain bound to
`fe518c9b`. Those steady 15-second windows did not exercise a
still-owned attempt passing its 120-second lease. The targeted
expired-owner regression qualifies that new boundary; it is not a fresh
measurement of the earlier windows.
- The initial `fe518c9b` remote gates failed the auth fixtures and
reported a Greptile 4/5 P1. The aggregate failure reported the
underlying shard. Those actual causes were fixed and qualified above.
- Current `6efe722e` remote gates completed with **57 successful checks
and three explicit skips**. The full latest edited Greptile summary is
**5/5**, explicitly reviews this exact head, and has no new finding. The
original P1 thread is resolved. All general, inline and nested review
pages were read.
- One current-head CI attempt timed out after 30 seconds in the Runner
evidence/privacy file, with 6,864 passes and one failure. That file and
its transitive inputs are byte-identical to the CI base. A separate
local diagnostic preserved every assertion and the original timeout, ran
the full normal Runner test project and the entire 41-case file, and
passed all 41 with zero skips. Its private bounded timing records
measured the target body at 74 ms. The diagnostic was then removed,
restoring the exact original test. This is local recovery evidence; the
original CI stalled await was not recorded and its cause remains
**unproven**.
- One retry of only the failed jobs on the unchanged head passed the
Runner support suite and dependent aggregate verification. The complete
second attempt and original failure logs are preserved. No test,
timeout, privacy guard or product code was weakened. This result does
not turn the original timeout into an explained failure or a diagnosed
flake.
- Full recursive typecheck, full `test:run` and a full release build
were not repeated locally. The normal full App programs, focused
producers and tests above passed, and the required current-head remote
gates passed. Final review is against the exact unchanged head; local
quiet remains separate from deployed suspension.

Reviewer commands use the normal project entry points: `node
server/scripts/typecheck-layers.mjs`, the whole
`server/src/services/muse-maintenance.test.ts` file, and both normal App
PostgreSQL files. PostgreSQL fixtures require explicit owned
fixture/admin URLs and normal migrations before imports. Run the files
serially with one worker. The private controller retains exact Source,
output, worker and owner-closure receipts.

## Risks

- Missing or early producer notices could lose a restoration trigger.
Notices stay in the transaction that commits the write. The worker
checks current authority after commit.
- A stale notice must not grant access. Binding generation, current
membership, company, agent and credential checks remain authoritative.
Revoked credentials require reconnecting.
- The change adds no table, migration, alternate task queue or periodic
verification scan. It adds two optional fields to existing lifecycle
operation JSONB. Generic pending/error deadlines, setup holds and manual
repair remain obligations.
- Confirmation can race with an active verification attempt. The park
compare-and-set must retain the durable recheck. Startup recovery uses a
fixed cutoff and keyset pages; it must not become another recurring
scan. Wrong company, stale version, pause and revoked credentials must
stay fenced.
- The connected receiver still has its documented tenant-sleep
restriction. Worker quiet is not proof of deployed suspension or
external wake.
- The normal challenge reply is sent by an authenticated protocol
fixture. Live Muse background replies, cost/usage, full Muse lifecycle
and full hosted Dot behavior remain unqualified. Partial Dot profile ACK
and unsigned-device cutover stay withheld.
- Restoration coverage for the additional company, budget, configuration
and feature producers remains a separate qualification obligation. This
pull request does not mark the whole hosted area complete.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 adb7633d7b fix(status-cards): give agents the person's restore route when archiving a card (#19903)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Status cards are saved summaries of company work. People and agents
can archive and restore them.
> - A person asked a chat agent to archive a card "to reuse it next
quarter". The agent archived it correctly.
> - The archive response had no board route, and the PATCH operation had
no description. The completion guidance tells agents not to guess
routes.
> - So the agent told the person to restore the card "by clearing
`archived`". That is an API instruction, not a route a person can use.
> - This pull request gives single-card responses an `href` to the
Status page and documents archive and restore on the PATCH operation.
> - The benefit is that an agent can give the person a usable link and a
true account of restore, which starts a fresh summary.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened**
A chat agent archived a status card. Its reply told the person to
restore the card by clearing `archived` on the card. It gave no link to
the place where a person restores it.

**Expected behavior**
The reply links the card on the Status page, where a person can show
archived cards and click Restore. It also says that restore starts a
fresh summary.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Enable status cards and create a card as an agent.
2. Ask the CEO agent in chat to archive the card for later reuse.
3. Read the reply. It has no usable restore route, because `PATCH
/api/status-cards/{id}` returns no `href` and has no description.

## What Changed

- `POST /api/companies/{companyId}/status-cards`, `GET
/api/status-cards/{id}` and `PATCH /api/status-cards/{id}` now return
`href`, the company-scoped Status page route for the card.
- The shared `statusCardSchema` has an optional `href` field.
- The `PATCH /api/status-cards/{id}` OpenAPI operation has a
description. It says that archive keeps the card and its history, that a
person restores it on the Status page with the returned `href`, and that
restore starts a fresh full summary.
- The create route reads the company issue prefix before it creates the
card. A failed link lookup can not delete a card whose compile task is
queued.
- Regression tests cover the `href` on the archive and get responses,
the new PATCH description, and a failed prefix read on create (no card
and no task are left).

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/status-cards.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts` (71 tests pass). The new
create-route test fails on the first commit and passes on the fix.
- End to end: the chat eval `status-cards.archive-card` runs with this
change on an eval branch. The result is in the eval report for that
case.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change adds one optional response field and one
description. List responses do not change. The UI ignores the new field.
- Each single-card response does one more small company read for the
issue prefix. On create, this read occurs before the card exists, so its
failure leaves nothing behind.

with tool use and code execution.
