DottaandPaperclip 669538534c fix(recovery): preserve failed remote reattach workspaces (#18936)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native runs can edit files in a remote execution workspace.
> - A failed reattach can leave an observed coordinator and unpublished
files.
> - The failure handler recognizes the older workspace-sync descriptor
but misses the modern workspace reference.
> - The released task lock then prevents ordinary session recovery from
claiming that old run.
> - This pull request retains the files through the existing Stop,
cleanup and workspace recovery owners.
> - Exact ownership and Stop evidence permit file preservation while
unknown provider effects remain under manual reconciliation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #18877 protects native manual admission holds. #18879 handles
scheduled native retry lock reclaim. #18918 fixes remote workspace
row-lock order. Those changes do not record the missing modern
failure-retention obligation.

**What happened?**

A native reattach failure can leave a failed run, a dirty modern remote
workspace, an expired observed coordinator and a free task execution
lock. The run has no accepted result. The failure handler skips file
retention because it checks only the older descriptor. Recovery cannot
export while the old coordinator remains owned. A mismatched workspace
generation can also make orphan cleanup miss the existing file claim.

**Expected behavior**

Retain the exact original allocation and files. Stop the allocation
through the existing lifecycle owner before retiring the stale
coordinator. Keep checkpoints and unknown external effects available for
manual reconciliation. Unsafe or changed source authority must prevent
physical cleanup.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Prepare a modern remote workspace for a native run.
2. Record a provider checkpoint and an active interruption incident.
3. Fail reattach preparation and release the task execution lock.
4. Let the coordinator lease expire.
5. Run the existing orphan, environment cleanup and workspace recovery
workers.
6. Verify the original files from a cold archive read and verify that no
new native session starts.

## What Changed

- Include modern prepared references in the existing heartbeat
failure-retention producer.
- Add a file-only historical intake for an exact failed observed run in
the normal expired reattach state.
- Require an untouched active ephemeral lease, a free blocked task,
matching workspace writer and generation, no accepted result and
complete single-owner allocation history.
- Persist the existing StopAndRetain intent before provider I/O. Use
nonblocking row locks and classify busy ownership only after rollback.
- Use the existing native environment settlement owner after exact Stop
and retention receipts arrive. Keep its single scoped discovery query.
- Preserve source and coordinator fingerprints across the handoff. Keep
original checkpoints, errors and manual unknown-effect incidents.
- Keep stale or malformed modern workspace claims held when preservation
intake refuses them.
- Add actual PostgreSQL, heartbeat, allocator, worker restart, archive
and safety controls. Document the narrow recovery contract.

## Verification

Current published head `b1f49691187a398415cf9b16b723e3ab473f0f91`: all
required CI checks pass (54 success, 3 skipped, 1 neutral); Greptile is
5/5 with no open threads. The separate Paperclip assessment is queued
and its current response says work is paused. That assessment is
unavailable; no additional review nudge or hosted retry was issued.

All local commands use Node 24.22.2 on macOS arm64.

- Exact published head: `b1f49691187a398415cf9b16b723e3ab473f0f91`.
Required CI passes (54 success, 3 skipped, 1 neutral); Greptile is 5/5
with zero open threads. The optional Paperclip assessment remains
queued/paused without a completed score.
- Final recursive `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- Final `pnpm build`: passed.
- Final three native producer, containment and scheduling files: **67/67
passed**. These include the real coordinator and worker restart, the
production heartbeat recovery callback, exact Stop receipts, cold
archive restore, and zero native backend, new allocation or destructive
release calls.
- The plugin allocator cases use the actual selector with `reuseLease:
true`. Active and released ephemeral leases receive a fresh allocation.
- The assembled reattach producer checks that the task and coordinator
claim commit before physical resume. A historical pin refuses that
current owner. A later claim behind a committed pin remains held.
- The safety controls cover reusable allocations, manual and unknown
states, cleanup in flight, accepted but unbound results, late allocation
owners, wrong or malformed workspace authority, changed
generation/checkpoint, lost Stop acknowledgement and a real
cleanup-producer lock conflict.
- Untouched base `e7549ab6131555f655736e6b544892a3b1e323cb`: four
expected behavioral failures and one passing legacy-descriptor control.
The failures cover the modern producer, original provider history,
historical retention and wrong-epoch cleanup. Fixed production files
were restored byte-for-byte after this comparison.
- The first affected six-file run completed **562 passed / 1 failed**.
The failure was an existing HTTP case with `socket hang up`. That exact
case passes separately on both untouched base and this branch. The
original connection failure remains unexplained. At `0e92de8c`, the
complete workspace family passes **188/188** with unchanged assertions.
The environment cleanup owner family also passes all 23 cases. The later
guard changes are qualified by the complete 67-case native owner group.
A full repository test run was not repeated locally; the requested
full-ci workflow runs the complete repository suites.
- Published `0e92de8c` fails both new explicit-null Stop/export marker
controls because it creates a new retention pin. The follow-up uses the
shared presence-aware Stop guard. Both controls now preserve the marker
and record no new retention pin, Stop or destructive release.
- Paperclip's review found that malformed workspace authority could
throw and abort an orphan page. Published `5f6cd4f5` fails all three new
controls: intake, the actual page and after-Stop settlement. The same
strict schema now uses a safe parse, and the existing OBSERVED hold runs
before the prepared-source lookup. The malformed source stays held while
the next valid source receives its retention pin.
- Two existing scheduling tests caught the draft's second global
discovery query. The final single-query repair passes all 36 unchanged
scheduling tests.
- An earlier restarted archive assertion stopped after 20 seconds. Its
recorded Stop was valid, and the coordinator had settled. The existing
evidence recheck deadline was still 13 seconds ahead. The final test
observes the unchanged 24–36 second policy within its existing 60 second
case limit.

The external fake provider Stop and file transport are controlled test
boundaries. Database ownership, lifecycle workers, archive bytes,
encrypted local storage and cold restore are real. This does not claim a
live cloud sandbox, S3 or model run. No hosted task was changed for this
PR.

## Risks

- Historical intake is deliberately narrow. Reusable, already released,
mismatched or competing allocations remain held.
- File preservation does not settle unknown provider effects or
authorize a repeated provider turn. The task can still require manual
reconciliation.
- A busy or changed owner delays preservation. The original files and
claims remain retained.
- This does not repair the underlying sandbox readiness failure or
establish the cause of a separate archive-capture failure.
- Deployment and recovery of original hosted tasks remain unverified.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository inspection, code execution
and GitHub tools. The runtime does not expose the exact serving model ID
or context window size. A separate Codex agent and the coordinator
performed read-only source review.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 247de89eae fix(runner): preserve warm tasks during recovery (#18169)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and the lifetime of its execution
resources.
> - A warm native task can keep one Runner alive between successful
turns.
> - Foreground completion selects whether that resource stays running or
stops.
> - Background recovery must use the same selected policy.
> - Recovery currently reads that policy only from workspace copy-back
records.
> - A task without such a record can be stopped immediately after
foreground retention.
> - This pull request saves the resource policy with the native runtime
and permits the retained task to refresh its control connection.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Background native finalization can stop a successful warm Runner when
its run has no Core workspace-sync record. Foreground completion retains
that same task. The stopped Runner cannot receive the later drain and
suspend commands. Cold resume then correctly rejects its unproven
checkpoint.

Hosted diagnostics confirmed the recovery reconciler attempted
environment release immediately after foreground retention. The provider
connection returned HTTP 404 within the same second. A database-backed
regression reproduced the stop without a workspace-sync record.

A separate authorization gap also prevents the current retained task
from refreshing its connection endpoint after the run succeeds.

**Expected behavior**

Foreground completion and recovery must use the selected resource
policy. A successful warm task stays running until its idle shutdown can
suspend it. Failed or cancelled work still stops. The current retained
task can refresh its existing control route, but cannot prepare or
submit new execution.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Select a warm native runtime on a reusable remote execution
environment.
2. Complete a turn without a Core workspace-sync record.
3. Let native finalization recovery settle the still-active run lease
before foreground retention finishes.
4. Before this change, recovery defaults to `stop_and_retain` and
invokes the provider stop path.
5. Separately, request the retained task's connection endpoint after
successful completion. Before this change, Core rejects that request.

**Paperclip version/commit**

The hosted failure used Core 31b927e301.
Regressions also reproduced on master at 6d59f5ef7.

**Deployment mode**

A remote native execution environment with reusable warm tasks. The
resource policy is generic and applies across harnesses and providers.

Related recovery coverage: Refs #18161. This change preserves the
suspended-checkpoint admission guard. Existing tasks without the newly
saved policy retain the previous conservative fallback; deployments must
drain or recover them explicitly.

## What Changed

- Save the selected native resource disposition in the existing
runtime-selection transaction. Add no startup database round trip or
network request.
- Read this small policy in background settlement and recovery when no
workspace-sync record exists. Preserve valid workspace-sync policies and
export-retry behavior.
- Keep failed and cancelled runs out of warm retention.
- Permit connection refresh for a successful, dispatched warm task on
its current retained reusable lease. Keep retirement, termination,
expiry, saved-run identity, and plugin capability checks.
- Add database-backed retention and selection regressions,
failure/cancellation coverage, and bounded projection checks. Document
the lifecycle and access contracts.

## Verification

- Before the source edits, the no-workspace-sync regression invoked the
driver with `stop_and_retain` instead of retaining the lease. Both
runtime-selection cases failed because the resource policy was absent.
- After the source edits, those regressions and both
run-state/runtime-selection files passed. The three-file run had 77
passes and two new fixture expectation failures. Those fixtures were
corrected. Final-head GitHub CI passed, including the server suites,
Runner checks, typecheck, build, and E2E gates. The local rerun was
deferred at the user's request.
- Commands: `node_modules/.bin/vitest run
server/src/__tests__/native-environment-settlement-work.test.ts
server/src/services/heartbeat/runtime-selection.test.ts
server/src/services/heartbeat/run-state.test.ts`.
- The connection authorization regression failed before its edit. All 34
tests in `server/src/__tests__/environment-task-runtime.test.ts` then
passed.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check` passed.
- No comprehensive local suite was run. Further local tests and VM
reproductions were stopped at the user's request to conserve battery and
mobile data. GitHub CI verifies the final head.
- Hosted verification of this patch requires deployment after merge.
Passing pre-patch retries did not establish repair of the original
failure.

- Standard Greptile and the subsequent requested Apex review both
returned **5/5** on `360bcd7e789d65950c27484af237faec02553666`, with no
inline findings.

## Risks

- This adds one server-owned field to the existing run profile JSON; no
migration is required. Invalid or absent policy keeps the previous
conservative fallback.
- Valid workspace-sync disposition remains authoritative. Pending export
and failed finalization still use stop-and-retain safety behavior.
- Retained connection access requires a successful run, matching saved
run identity, dispatched warm task, unexpired reusable lease, and no
retirement or termination. Superseded leases and new execution remain
denied.
- The cold-resume checkpoint proof is unchanged. This patch does not
make the already-stopped task's unsuspended checkpoint resumable.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The host does not expose a more specific serving model ID or
context-window size.

c8b7afee06 fix(server): schedule native environment lease settlement (#17801)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/24/changes/paperclip/24
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and the resources used by their work.
> - Native run completion has several independent settlement duties.
> - The recurring run reaper repeated environment-release discovery for
completed native history.
> - Existing lease rows already record releases that still need work.
> - This pull request wakes the existing release owners from committed
changes and schedules only unfinished release debt.
> - Completed history becomes quiet while stop evidence, workspace
preservation, and retention policy keep their existing owners.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #17793, #17717.

**What problem does this solve?**

Periodic native finalization replay calls environment release even when
no lease needs work. This adds recurring database traffic to an idle
instance.

**What is the proposed solution?**

Register one scoped worker on the existing delivery coordinator.
Discover work from native finalizations and existing environment leases.
Wake it from native, lease, and settings transactions. Keep the release
owner's saved pending-cleanup deadlines. Keep retries only while a
concrete lease still needs settlement.

**What alternatives have you considered?**

A slower unconditional scan still queries idle history. A new job table
duplicates existing lease truth. Replacing the compound callback would
also change runtime-service and agent-status duties; those remain
separate slices.

This is slice 58. Parent #17793 has merged. This publication targets
master and preserves that landed prerequisite. Fresh current-head checks
and review remain required.

## What Changed

- Keep ordinary company-only finalization hints out of environment
settlement. Prove zero candidate SQL after quiet and preserve real lease
delivery.

- Reuse the existing durable destroy claim for run-owned cleanup,
excluding concurrent attempts and fencing late receipts while preserving
cleanup recovery.

- Scope lease cleanup notifications to their company/run so settlement
does not rediscover the entire backlog after each release.

- Read only `nativeWorkspaceSync` and `workspaceExportRetry` JSON fields
when discovering environment cleanup. Preserve saved run data and
existing release decisions.

- Reuse the environment runtime's release predicate for discovery. Add
no table or independent timer.
- Wake from existing finalization, projection, lifecycle, recovery,
lease, and settings transaction boundaries. Simple lease acquisition now
uses a transaction too.
- Preserve recorded retention policy, pending-cleanup deadlines,
original lease/provider ownership, and current release guards.
- Re-read durable lease state after a release. A logged or swallowed
per-lease failure does not discharge the obligation.
- Delegate only periodic environment release. Preserve default
live/manual behavior, runtime-service release, and agent-status
callbacks.
- Add an owner/producer/lifecycle audit and real database tests.

## Verification

Accepted production source: `9596fa022b57feea026c4728c80bdc36037b804f`.
Publication head: `fb252c8b0e52ce355e7d98db2e392e4831f99c61`. The actual
parent squash is adopted by a normal merge with the complete accepted
child tree unchanged. Only audit text follows.

- **4,172 distinct cases in 64 complete server files pass**, plus **20
selected chat cases** (4,192 selected total). The main batch reports
3,440 passes and 49 skips. Both complete Stop/read files then pass 51 +
6 cases on separate fresh databases through their supported override.
Their eight pure cases are counted once; skipped cases are never counted
as passes. Separate process recovery passes 410; review response passes
273. The other 1,794 chat cases were not run locally.
- **Quiet producer proof:** the controlled unscoped baseline fails with
three candidate SELECTs after three routine company-only hints. The
scoped case performs zero, releases a real eligible committed-run lease,
and returns to quiet. The same test hash spans red and green.
- **Static gates pass:** database build; server typecheck/build; module
boundaries; migration order; current Copilot profile identity. Packages
equal the accepted parent byte for byte.
- **Fresh fixtures:** 39 prepared PostgreSQL 17 databases plus fresh
helper-owned databases. The schema has all 412 journal entries through
index/tag 0413_tired_kronos. All 65 original test hashes restore
exactly; the indirect Stop fixture is also hashed. No assertion or
timeout changes.
- **Preserved records:** original 49 skips and their completed coverage
remain documented. Parent handoff timeout and prior chat-idle failure
records remain in their owning audits. This does not claim full
repository, full chat, live provider, or deployed sleep acceptance.
- [Current integration and native lease
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/fb252c8b0e52ce355e7d98db2e392e4831f99c61/doc/plans/2026-10-26-native-environment-settlement-sleep.md#current-master-integration-and-native-lease-quiet-proof-2026-10-29).
Fresh CI, security, and exact-head Greptile 5/5 must pass before merge.

<details><summary>Earlier revision verification and failure
history</summary>

Receiver failure fairness: a controlled 1,100 ms batch reproduced a
30-second delay for healthy due receivers. The worker now supplies its
existing per-item deadline through `nextRunAtOnError`. All 20 receiver
lifecycle tests pass on the owner and combined tip
`31c12f1d68ff4a51e06fc2be2abf2c2aee9f9d3a`; server production
typechecking passes on the owner. The failed receiver retains its own
backoff, and settled receivers return to zero recurring SQL. The
five-second assertion budget is unchanged. See [the owning
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/6f3a0b8de149fb5620f15909473eb7c4455b9824/doc/plans/2026-10-25-chat-receiver-discovery-sleep-audit.md#healthy-receiver-progress-after-a-slow-failed-batch).
Current-head CI and review remain required.

Approved delegated Test-tab calls now evaluate caller and target
policies in the existing claim transaction. Real HTTP regressions first
showed a missing caller charge and shared-limit self-rejection. All 78
connection-management cases and 92 gateway cases now pass on the owning
branch, along with server production typechecking. All 78
connection-management cases also pass at combined tip
`d25f830db89c1623bff3547bfc68015c1c66e0cf`. The three new cases cover
shared charges, separate charges, rollback on denial, duplicate
approval, and rejection of a later authorized call. Intermediate
counter/identity fixture failures and a reused-database Slack collision
are recorded in [the owning
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/ae9bff1c06e34702f64a399e58b45a657c133bd1/doc/idle-approved-tool-recovery.md#delegated-test-tab-admission-after-policy-changes).
The earlier combined checks below remain evidence for their stated
revisions. Current-head CI and review remain required.

Inherited voice-cleanup verification: the controlled slow-provider
regression and all 13 lifecycle tests passed on its owner and combined
tip `ab22d8ed0c09028315607414b83b375e5cc0a60a`. That repair changed only
the fixture clock advancement and its audit note.

Current head: `6f3a0b8de149fb5620f15909473eb7c4455b9824`. This remains a
single-duty PR stacked on #17793.

- Integrated pinned master `8548173fc9efdc0fa07644fb92dcc0b6851a95e5`
with normal merges. Every branch passed generated-schema checks and its
target-branch migration-order gate. Existing SQL is unchanged; the 25
stack migrations follow master’s new migration.
- Duty-specific producer coverage, lifecycle tests, and earlier failure
records:
[2026-10-24-recurring-server-sleep-stack.md](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/7e619453567e078a7d745f28bfe8e5ede571f282/doc/plans/2026-10-24-recurring-server-sleep-stack.md),
[2026-10-26-native-environment-settlement-sleep.md](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/7e619453567e078a7d745f28bfe8e5ede571f282/doc/plans/2026-10-26-native-environment-settlement-sleep.md).
- Combined tip `51e6cbe67979b55b340ea9f0f434c5b5c682ccd6`: **355
startup/cancellation/recovery/dispatch/preservation tests**, **75
connection-management tests**, and production server typechecking pass.
These combined checks do not mean every intermediate PR independently
ran the full repository suite.
- Real master-to-stack database upgrade passes: **379 unchanged prior
migration receipts plus 25 new migrations**, with the gateway
responsibility fixture preserved.
- Owning-branch checks: 84 runner installation/settlement cases plus
runner typechecking and generated TypeScript/Rust profile agreement; 253
GitHub review workflow cases. Stop-attribution and held-worker readiness
regressions failed before their fixes.
- Failure accounting: the initial combined run passed 349 cases and
failed six idle assertions in a reused preservation database containing
old cancelled runs. Repeating the combined command with a fresh
preservation database passed. Earlier invalid project selection, merge
import/type errors, and the interrupted full local suite are not counted
as passing checks.
- **Latest-head CI and review remain required.** Prior CI findings
include GitHub idle observation, route teardown, attention cleanup,
touch-picker E2E, workspace health, and voice-cleanup timing; local
passes do not erase those failures. No full local repository-suite,
deployed sleep, fleet cost, or live Copilot qualification claim is made.


</details>

## Risks

- Existing lease owners retain destruction claims, provider identity,
stop evidence, retention policy, and pending-cleanup deadlines.
Incorrect changes here can release a live resource or lose a cleanup
obligation.
- Logged or swallowed release failures remain concrete debt. Real
retries must retain their saved floor across unrelated hints.
- In-process signals do not cover independent SQL or other replicas
without ingress.
- This delegates only periodic environment settlement. Runtime-service
and agent-status duties remain separate. Existing Cloud blockers remain;
no deployed sleep, database suspension, external alarm coverage, or cost
savings is claimed.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, code execution, real
PostgreSQL tests, and GitHub tools. The exact runtime model identifier
and context-window size are not exposed in this session.
