DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 34d308a331 fix(native): let a run retire the prior owner it reserved when its session rotates (#19263)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native Runner agent keeps a warm provider session per task. A
follow-up run on the same task can reuse that session and its managed
instruction directory.
> - When a follow-up run cannot resume the saved session (for example,
the effective run configuration changed), it first reserves the prior
owner's instruction directory. Then it starts a new session identity and
must retire the prior owner.
> - Retirement treated the run's own directory reservation as another
executor's busy turn. The run failed at startup with
`native_session_supervisor_busy`.
> - That failure happened after the remote workspace was prepared, so
failure handling retained the sandbox and blocked the task. A board
follow-up comment left the task `blocked` with no agent progress.
> - This pull request lets a run retire the prior owner that it reserved
itself, and keeps the directory that it adopted. Any other reservation
or turn is still busy.
> - The benefit is that a follow-up on a task with a rotated session
runs once, and the task does not become blocked.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A board follow-up comment with reopen woke an agent on a task that had
just finished a successful run. The new run reused the task's own
sandbox. The saved session could not resume because the effective run
configuration changed, so the run started a new session identity. At
startup (right after the native execution claim) the run failed with
`native_session_supervisor_busy`. The run got the error code
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`, the sandbox was retained
for workspace repair, and the task became `blocked`.

The agent had another live run on a different task at the same time.
That run used a different sandbox and a different workspace, so it was
not the cause. The busy owner was the task's own prior warm session. The
new run had reserved that session's instruction directory itself
(`reserveWarmNativeInstructionDirectory` sets `preparingRunId` to the
new run). `retireSupersededWarmNativeSessions` then saw `preparingRunId`
and rejected the run.

**Expected behavior**
The follow-up run retires the prior warm owner of its own task, keeps
the instruction directory it adopted, starts the new session, and runs
once. The task does not become blocked.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a native Runner (Codex app-server) task to completion with a warm
session and a managed instruction directory.
2. Change the agent's effective run configuration, so the saved session
cannot resume.
3. Wake the same task again (for example, a board comment with reopen).
4. Before this change, the run fails at startup with
`native_session_supervisor_busy` and the task becomes blocked.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Observed on staging at `7fd05e13`. The code is unchanged on `master`.

## What Changed

- `retireSupersededWarmNativeSessions` now receives the current run id.
When the prior owner of the same task (same logical owner scope) is
reserved by this run (`preparingRunId === runId`), retirement continues
instead of throwing `native_session_supervisor_busy`.
- That retirement closes the prior owner with
`preserveInstructionsForRunId`, so the directory that this run adopted
is not collected. This matches the existing configuration-change branch
in warm reuse.
- After a successful close, the reservation is cleared. A failed close
keeps the reservation, so its `release()` retries retirement as before.
- A reservation by any other run, a busy owner, and an executing scope
still throw `native_session_supervisor_busy`.

## Verification

- Red before the fix, green after
(`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts`,
"managed directory warm checkpoints"):
- "retires its own reserved directory owner when the session identity
rotates": before, the run rejected with
`native_session_supervisor_busy`. After, the prior owner closes once,
the new session runs once, the adopted directory is not collected during
retirement, and it is collected once when the new owner retires.
- "retires its own reserved directory owner after the Runner claim when
the session identity rotates" (the production `useRunnerd` path, where
retirement happens after the claim): before, admission rejected with
`native_session_supervisor_busy`. After, admission retires the prior
owner and keeps the adopted directory.
- Safety case (green before and after): "still rejects a session
identity rotation over another run's directory reservation". The
provider does not start and the other run's owner is not closed.
- Existing safety case (green): "does not retire an active turn when a
new session identity arrives".
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/instruction-working-copy`: 1163 passed.
- Staging evidence was read only. This change is not deployed.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change applies only when the prior owner has the same
logical owner scope (company, agent, task, workspace, environment) and
its reservation names the current run. That reservation exists only
after this run validated reuse of the prior directory.
- The claim-path instruction copy (`claimWarmNativeInstructionCopy`,
which sets `busy`) is unchanged. That path is not used by Codex
app-server agents.
- Two related points are unchanged and are out of scope here: a startup
failure after the workspace is prepared still retains the sandbox and
blocks the task, and the "Instruction edits could not be recovered"
warning on that failure is advisory only. With this fix, this flow no
longer reaches that failure.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, with tool use (shell,
file edits, browser read of staging run records) in Claude Code.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e37ab23dbc fix: hold an agent's new work while its provider usage limit is active (#19246)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Routine-driven agents run on the native Runner through ACP harnesses
such as Claude
> - When the agent's provider account runs out of allowance, every new
wake for that agent fails the same way
> - The ACP harness reported the exhausted allowance as a generic
"terminal limit failure" with an `unknown` category, so Paperclip could
not tell it from a context or turn limit
> - Paperclip recorded a reset time only for the failing run's own
startup retry; other wakes of the same agent kept dispatching, each
spent about two minutes on workspace setup, and then failed
> - This pull request classifies the limit, keeps its reset time, and
holds the agent's new work until that reset
> - The benefit is that a limited agent stops burning runs, shows a
clear "waiting for usage limit reset" state with a time, and resumes its
queued work after the reset

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13148
Refs #13379

**What happened?**
A routine-driven Claude agent on the native Runner failed 29 times in
about 15 hours. 20 runs failed with `native_provider_terminal_failed`
and "ACP agent reported a terminal limit failure." The recorded provider
failure had category `unknown`. 6 runs failed with
`provider_session_open_rejected`. Their `session.open` result is
`command_execution_failed` with classification `provider_rate_limit`,
and the provider failure is HTTP 429 `rate_limit` ("would exceed your
account's rate limit"). The startup retry of one such run recorded a
cooldown until one hour later. A new wake for a different task of the
same agent dispatched 16 minutes later, spent two minutes on workspace
setup, and failed with the same 429. Separately, 4 runs failed with
"Project authentication conflicts with this agent's managed AI
connection". That message did not say which file or setting conflicted.
The same message was also shown when the check could not finish.

**What did you expect?**
A provider usage limit is classified distinctly. Paperclip records the
reset time when the provider reports one. New work for that agent waits
for the reset with a visible reason. Queued work resumes after the
reset, and no doomed run starts. A configuration conflict is reported
only when one is found, and the message names the file to fix.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use a native Runner agent with a Claude ACP harness whose account is
rate limited or out of usage.
2. Let a routine or assignment wake the agent on several tasks.
3. See each run fail with a generic terminal limit failure or a
`session.open` rejection, and see new runs keep starting.

## What Changed

- Runner: The ACPX turn now receives the typed AIR session failure
(`onTerminalSessionFailure`) through the runtime host and the ACPX port.
The sidecar adds the provider's title to the provider failure message.
Only a rate-limit or quota title becomes `rate_limit` or
`quota_exhausted`. Context, turn and configured budget limits stay
`unknown`. The failure details stay private.
- Server: A native `turn.failed` with a `rate_limit` or
`quota_exhausted` provider failure is now `native_provider_usage_limit`,
the same code as the Codex usage-limit terminal.
- Server: `agentProviderLimitCooldown` (extracted from the startup
retry) also reads a reset clock in the provider's wording, such as
"resets 2am (UTC)". The clock parser moved from the recovery service to
`provider-quota-reset.ts` without changes.
- Server: New `heartbeat/provider-limit-wait.ts`. Before any workspace
or provider work, a queued run for an agent with an active provider
limit is cancelled as `provider_limit_wait`. The run records the reset
time, whether the provider reported it, the category and the run that
reported the limit. Paperclip schedules one retry of the same wake at
the reset through the existing AI connection wait lane. That lane does
not consume the failure retry budget. Manual runs, recovering runs,
conversation turns and pool-routed connections are not held.
- Server: The execution projection shows "Waiting for usage limit reset"
with the reset time and the next step.
- Server: Only a found project authentication conflict is a
configuration failure. Its message names the project file and the
settings to remove. A check that cannot finish (timeout or another exit
code) is now an ordinary failure, not a configuration conflict.
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the agent-level limit
wait.

## Verification

Red before the fix, green after:
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-provider-limit-wait.test.ts`: An
automation wake after a 429 `session.open` rejection dispatched the
adapter before the fix. Now the run is cancelled as
`provider_limit_wait` and a scheduled retry exists at the reset. After
the reset passes, the retry is promoted and the work succeeds. A manual
run, a later success, expired evidence and an unclassified terminal
still dispatch.
- `native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts`: "reads the reset clock
from an ACP terminal limit failure's provider wording" (it fell back to
one hour before).
- `native-session-executor.test.ts`: An ACP `turn.failed` with a typed
`quota_exhausted` or `rate_limit` failure is a usage-limit terminal;
`unknown` is not.
- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/drivers/provider-failure.test.ts`: A
typed AIR limit title is kept and classified; context, turn and budget
limits are not; details do not leak.
- `execution-projection.test.ts`, `ai-connections.test.ts`: The wait
label, and conflict versus unfinished check.
- Safety cases: `runtime-host.test.ts` and
`codex-runtime-adapter.test.ts` forward the callback. The existing
startup retry, provider capacity, recovery classification, legacy
reconciliation, retry scheduling and execution configuration suites
pass.

Commands:
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-provider-limit-wait.test.ts
src/__tests__/ai-connections.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/
src/services/recovery/ src/services/execution-projection.test.ts
src/services/legacy-execution-recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-execution-configuration.test.ts`
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/drivers/provider-failure.test.ts
src/drivers/acpx/runtime-host.test.ts
src/drivers/acpx/codex-runtime-adapter.test.ts
src/cli/acpx-runtime-sidecar.test.ts`
- `tsc --noEmit` for server and paperclip-runner; the ACPX sidecar and
provider-failure contract checks pass.

I did not run a live provider limit on staging. The live evidence is the
staging run records for the affected agent, which I read only.

## Risks

- The limit evidence is per agent, not per account. If the board changes
the agent's AI connection, automatic wakes can still wait until the old
reset (at most one hour when no reset was reported, and at most one
day). A manual run is not held, and one successful run clears the
evidence.
- A new wake that arrives during a limit is now cancelled and retried at
the reset, instead of failing. The task stays in its status, and the run
shows the reset time.
- The Runner change takes effect when the provider pack is rebuilt and
deployed. Until then, the server still holds new work using the existing
`rate_limit` evidence from `session.open` rejections.
- A turn terminal with a typed rate limit or quota is now
`native_provider_usage_limit` instead of
`native_provider_terminal_failed`. Both are terminal and board-owned.
The recovery text now asks the board to restore provider usage capacity.

DottaandPaperclip 3a090b815b fix: retain native checkpoint ownership through warm close (#19225)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native warm session must save its checkpoint under its exact
coordinator owner.
> - A failed turn can return an accepted result before that checkpoint
is saved.
> - The executor stopped renewal and released the owner before the
managed session closed.
> - The backup owner guard then refused the uncommitted, released owner.
A failed close could remain in the warm session map.
> - This pull request keeps the claim and its existing renewal through
checkpoint, close and instruction collection.
> - The benefit is a valid checkpoint owner and one fenced release after
the work joins.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19208, #19206 and #14695. Those fixes cover a destroyed backup
source, Stop before a provider session opens, and retained agent-file
ownership. They do not change this checkpoint ownership order.

**What happened?**

A failed warm turn accepted its result. Its coordinator reached
`workspace_finalizing`, with a result ID and no lease owner. Managed
close then called the durable checkpoint writer. The writer correctly
refused this state with `native_harness_storage_owner_missing`. The
failed close could remain for the next fresh session to retire.

**Expected behavior**

The current claim and renewal remain valid until the required
checkpoint, close and instruction collection join. Cleanup stops and
joins renewal, then releases only that exact claim. A changed owner is
not cleared. An earlier error keeps its identity.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run the new real-Postgres regression against the base commit.
2. Complete a structured failed warm turn through the normal
control-plane result producer.
3. Let the actual managed-session close call its production checkpoint
callback.
4. Observe the missing-owner refusal after coordinator release.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base: `56517dda6c`. The native ownership order also exists on the
earlier failing revision.

**Deployment mode**

Native warm execution with durable harness storage and a managed remote
workspace.

## What Changed

- Join warm checkpoint, managed close and instruction collection before
coordinator release.
- Keep the existing lease renewal active through that work. Stop and
join it before release.
- Run the same fenced release after a checkpoint or collection error.
Preserve the initiating error unless restart detachment has won. Keep
the typed restart outcome and changed-owner fences. Attach only closed
cleanup-failure flags.
- Add real-Postgres ownership, delayed-renewal, error, retry and denial
cases. Route the managed-session regression through the existing
artifact-equipped native test lane. Update the continuity test for the
retained claim. Document the active renewal lifetime.

## Verification

- Red: the producing coordinator had an accepted result,
`phase=workspace_finalizing` and `leaseOwner=null` at managed close. The
production checkpoint callback refused it with
`native_harness_storage_owner_missing`.
- Green: all 9 real-Postgres regression cases pass. They cover a real
20-second renewal tick, a failed checkpoint, one force-fresh successor,
and wrong-boot and changed-owner denial. Actual restart detachment wins
even when checkpoint and joined renewal-stop both reject. The
replacement claim remains unchanged. No new provider turn or
cancellation receipt is created. A private canary does not enter the
closed diagnostic flags or an error cause.
- The executor, restart-recovery and heartbeat compatibility suites
pass: 1,259 tests, with 20 gated skips. The container-enabled continuity
case was not run locally. Its 21-second timer check remains. It now
requires the exact claim during `hasChanges()` and checks release after
the joined work.
- All 39 shard-routing and combined-coverage tests pass. The new
regression runs in the existing native lane with the required Runner
artifact.
- Final local head `0edcc37f35` passes `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm
build`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and the 9-case regression. The
earlier broader compatibility run used identical source bytes. A
separate earlier repo-wide local suite on `6cdd68e915` ended with exit
1. Its general-server stage had one GitHub enrollment acknowledgement
failure, 31,469 passing tests and 215 skipped tests. That
acknowledgement failure reproduced in one narrow run on the same old
tree. It is not an established flake or proven caused by this fix. Later
repository stages did not run. No duplicate broad suite or full local
pass is claimed.
- The first published head failed review for detach-error precedence and
the old continuity assertion. Its server shard also failed because the
new test lacked a Runner daemon in the general lane. Those failures
remain recorded. This candidate fixes their causes. Both exact-head
reviews are now 5/5. The hosted native-server lane ran all 9 new
ownership tests successfully. One unchanged tool-gateway rate-rule test
failed in the first current-head CI run. It passed previously and passed
locally, both narrowly and in its full 183-test file. The single
same-head failed-job rerun passed. All current-head hosted gates are
clean. The initial failure remains recorded; no test assertion was
weakened.
- The provider transport is an in-memory fixture. The managed wrapper,
production checkpoint callback, control-plane result and Postgres
ownership are real. No paid provider or live remote process is
exercised. This does not prove a deployed recovery or a remote stop
receipt.

## Risks

- A slow required checkpoint extends the lifetime of the existing active
renewal. Its cadence stays at 20 seconds for remote claims and 5 minutes
for local claims. It runs only while the admitted checkpoint, close and
collection remain active, then stops and joins on completion or
unwinding. The tests observe a real remote renewal tick. No idle timer,
new retry budget or new worker is added.
- The release still checks company, task, run, owner, attempt, boot,
PID, process start and expiry. Restart detachment retains its recovery
owner.
- The storage owner guard is unchanged. No migration, permission,
provider setting or deployment change is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, `gpt-6.1-sol`, with reasoning, source inspection, local
code execution and read-only staging metadata. Context window and
reasoning effort are host-managed.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 beb73381ca fix(native): let a Stop before the provider session opens continue once (#19206)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A remote task restores its saved workspace into a sandbox before the
agent starts.
> - When that restore fails, the run records only
`remote_workspace_operation_failed: operation=restore exit=1`.
> - The run then fails as `setup_failed`. No retry starts, and a
`blocked` task gets no recovery action.
> - An operator cannot tell which step failed, and nobody owns the next
step.
> - This pull request makes the sandbox scripts name their failed step
in a closed grammar, and it gives a restore failure a bounded retry or a
named board recovery action.
> - The benefit is a visible cause and a clear owner. Saved work stays
protected.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19152 and #19187. Those changes name copy-back (save) failures.
Refs #18852 and #19195. Those changes added the bounded bootstrap retry
that this change reuses.

**What happened?**

A board reply woke an agent on a `blocked` parent task. The run failed
during setup 13 seconds later. The only run event was
`remote_workspace_operation_failed: operation=restore exit=1`. The run
had no workspace operation row. The task stayed `blocked`, and its
recovery actions showed `active: null`. The same opaque family also
appeared for workspace preparation (`exit=1` only).

**Expected behavior**

The run names which restore step failed, without command output or
paths. A failure before provider work uses a bounded retry when a retry
can help. Otherwise, and when the retry budget is spent, the board gets
a named recovery action. The saved version is never changed or
overwritten.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Save a remote workspace, then start a new run on a different
allocation.
2. Put a folder at the published workspace path in the sandbox before
restore.
3. Observe that the base code records only `operation=restore exit=1`,
then `setup_failed`, with no recovery action for a `blocked` task.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base: `87dfba6818`.

**Deployment mode**

Legacy runtime with sandbox (Daytona) remote workspace storage.

## What Changed

- The prepare, repository, and restore sandbox scripts track their
current stage. On failure they print `remote_workspace_<op>_failed:
stage=<stage>` plus closed fields: `reason=` (the script's own
snake_case refusal), `archive=` (the archive helper's fixed reason),
`code=` (errno), `disk=full`, `git=` (a fixed label chosen from Git
output), and the existing `exit`/`signal`/`program` fields.
- The server accepts that text only when it matches a strict grammar for
the same operation. Other output is dropped, as before.
- Provider refusals during the restore upload and restore command are
recorded by closed labels, like copy-back.
- A failed saved-workspace restore raises `RemoteWorkspaceRestoreError`
with the server step (`snapshot_lookup`, `snapshot_download`,
`sandbox_restore`). It is retryable only when the owner re-reads the
same writer, epoch, and saved version with no unsaved work, and the
sandbox did not name a refusal reason.
- Setup failure handling classifies a pre-dispatch legacy restore
failure as `remote_workspace_restore_failed`. A retryable failure uses
the existing bounded bootstrap retry. A non-retryable or exhausted
failure records a board-owned recovery action with the redacted cause,
when stranded-work recovery does not scan the task status (for example
`blocked`).
- Stranded-work recovery gets a named notice for this code. Generic
continuation recovery does not grant it a second budget, and legacy
reconciliation does not invent provider actions for it.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` documents the contract.

## Verification

- Red: the new transport tests failed on the base code with
`remote_workspace_operation_failed: operation=restore exit=1` (and the
same for prepare and repository). The new completion tests failed
because the run became `setup_failed` with no retry and no recovery
action.
- Green: `npx vitest run src/services/remote-workspace-transport.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspaces.integration.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts
src/services/legacy-execution-recovery.test.ts src/services/recovery
src/services/remote-workspace-save-concurrency.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-finalizer-failure.test.ts
src/__tests__/native-workspace-finalization-work.test.ts` passes (563
tests).
- The transport tests use real sandbox commands. They prove an occupied
folder reports `stage=inspect_root reason=occupied_root` and keeps its
files. They prove a wrong manifest reports `stage=extract
archive=manifest_mismatch`. They prove a missing branch reports
`stage=checkout_branch`, and a changed origin reports
`stage=verify_origin`. Forged output with a path is dropped.
- The real-PostgreSQL cold-restore test proves an occupied root gives a
non-retryable `sandbox_restore` failure and keeps the unknown files.
- The completion tests cover retried, exhausted, refused, post-dispatch,
and `in_progress` cases.
- `tsc --noEmit` for the server reports no errors in the changed files.

## Risks

- A retry keeps the same restore path. If the cause is deterministic but
unnamed, the run uses its two retries before the board action. Named
refusals skip the retries.
- The board action is recorded only for statuses that stranded-work
recovery does not scan, and only when no other action is active. This
prevents a second recovery identity for one failure.
- Script stderr grammar is new. Old sandboxes run the script that the
server sends, so no runner update is necessary.
- No migration, deployment, or credential change.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 f5891564ec fix(recovery): continue from a retired sandbox's backup and hand spent export repairs to the board (#19208)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native tasks keep a warm sandbox and a verified per-turn backup of
the provider session.
> - Recovery holds stop a task when continuation is not safe. They must
have a next action and an owner.
> - In a staging soak, two kinds of held tasks could not move forward.
Users followed the product's own instruction, and nothing changed.
> - First, a reply to a task whose warm sandbox Paperclip had already
destroyed failed every time. The label then said "Send a message to
continue" again.
> - Second, an exhausted system workspace repair stayed active and
system-owned for hours. The board saw no owner, and a reply started
nothing.
> - This pull request lets a reply continue from the backup when the
source sandbox is provably gone, and hands a spent system repair to the
board with a named Retry.
> - The benefit is that productive work always has a next action that
can succeed, and nothing replays or runs twice.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
(a) A native warm task ran one successful turn. A later legacy follow-up
retired the warm sandbox lease. The next user reply got a new sandbox
(`created` lease). The executor found a verified backup but no reusable
lease, so it threw `runner_harness_state_mismatch:
backup_without_reusable_lease`. The run retried on the restart-recovery
path, failed `native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch`, and ended as
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`. Workspace recovery then
said "Saved work recovered. Send a message to continue." Each new reply
repeated the same failure.
(b) A run failed `native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted`. System
workspace recovery used its 6 bounded attempts and became `exhausted`.
The recovery action stayed `active` with `ownerType: system`. The UI
hides system-owned recovery actions, so the board saw no action. Nothing
ran for more than two hours.

**Expected behavior**
(a) When Paperclip destroyed the source sandbox and no provider work
followed the backup, the reply continues once from the backup. Ambiguous
states still fail closed.
(b) When the bounded budget is spent, the action names a board owner and
a Retry action that can progress it.

**Steps to reproduce**
(a) Finish a warm native turn. Retire its reusable lease through
obsolete-lease cleanup. Send a reply. The new run gets a `created` lease
and fails `backup_without_reusable_lease`.
(b) Let system workspace recovery reach its deadline or retry limit.
Read the recovery action. It is still `ownerType: system`.

Related merged work checked first: #19145, #19184, #19187, #19189,
#19190, #18943 (added the guard for migrated sessions). Open recovery
PRs (`gh pr list --search recovery --state open`) do not touch these
paths.

## What Changed

- `native-retired-backup-source.ts` (new):
`retiredSourceAuthorizesNativeBackupRestore` decides whether a created
lease may restore the backup. All must be true: the backup's source
lease is `expired` or `failed`; it has a provider termination receipt
with state `destroyed`; its `nativeHarnessBackup` stamp names this exact
manifest SHA-256, session and runner instance; exactly one host lease
maps to the provider allocation; and no provider durable event for the
session was recorded after the backup completed. The provider event type
set moved here and the executor imports it.
- `native-session-executor.ts`:
`shouldRestoreNativeHarnessBackupIntoSandbox` accepts
`retiredSourceContinuation`. A created lease with a configured reusable
lease evaluates it, beside the existing migrated-session path. The
restore uses the existing verified restore and stamps the new lease.
- `system-recovery.ts`: `updateSystemRecovery` moves an `exhausted`
action to `ownerType: board` and writes a next action and workspace
recovery message that name the attempt count, the last failure code, and
**Retry recovery**. Retry (`requestWorkspaceRecovery`) already starts a
new bounded generation and returns ownership to the system.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: documents both rules.

## Verification

- Red before the fix, green after:
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "restores
a warm backup into a created lease only when"`. Before: the
destroyed-source case rejected with `runner_harness_state_mismatch:
backup_without_reusable_lease`. After: it restores the runner state and
provider home into the new sandbox and stamps the new lease.
- `npx vitest run src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts -t "hands an
exhausted system export repair"`. Before: `exhausted` with `ownerType:
"system"`. After: `ownerType: "board"`, the blocker says Retry recovery
and never says "send a message", no provider run or lease resume
happens, and Retry starts one new system generation.
- Safety cases (fail closed): a stopped (not destroyed) source, a stamp
for another checkpoint, provider work after the backup, a still-reusable
`released` lease, a missing receipt, and two host leases for one
allocation. These run in the executor test and in
`native-retired-backup-source.integration.test.ts` against embedded
Postgres.
- Related suites pass: `workspace-recovery.test.ts`,
`system-recovery-state.test.ts`, `native-session-executor.test.ts`,
`task-retry.test.ts`, `explicit-native-continuation.test.ts`,
`workspace-recovery-source.test.ts`,
`native-workspace-export-retry.test.ts`,
`native-remote-retry-admission.test.ts`,
`native-workspace-warm-reuse.test.ts`,
`native-workspace-sync-retention.test.ts`,
`heartbeat-observed-workspace-preservation.test.ts`,
`execution-control-work.test.ts` (2,224 tests).
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` passes.
- Not done: a live run against staging. Staging access was read-only.
The staging evidence is the run event timeline described above.

## Risks

- (a) A backup restore after a lost sandbox could rewind a session if
newer provider state existed. The predicate requires a provider
`destroyed` receipt and no provider event after the checkpoint. A
stopped sandbox, a pending cleanup, or a still-reusable lease still
fails closed with the old error.
- (a) The event-time check can fail closed if a late event from the
backup turn is written after the checkpoint time. That keeps the old
behavior; it never authorizes a restore.
- (b) The action's next action text stays as the exhausted message while
a later Retry generation runs. The task blocker shows the live workspace
recovery message first, so users see "Recovering saved work…" during
that time.
- Not changed: when the predicate fails closed, the run still follows
the existing reconciliation path. That path can still end with the "Send
a message to continue" receipt. That residual is narrower now and needs
a separate change to the workspace recovery receipt.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 2141efc097 fix(native): answer Stop during slow native startup with 409 and settle it as cancelled (#19189)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Operators stop a running agent run with `POST
/api/heartbeat-runs/:runId/cancel`
> - For a native run, Stop waits up to 30 seconds for the native session
to open before it can deliver the cancel
> - A remote native session can take longer than 30 seconds to open.
Then the wait fails with `native_cancellation_pending_recovery`, and the
route answers HTTP 500
> - The Stop intent was already saved. The startup owner fenced the late
session in memory only, so the run ended as a provider failure, not as a
cancellation
> - This pull request maps that outcome to a clear 409 and makes the
late session acknowledge the saved Stop intent
> - The benefit is a consistent cancel result and a run that ends as
`cancelled` when an operator stops it during a slow startup

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An operator stopped a native run about 40 seconds after it started. The
run was still opening its remote provider session (session startup took
about 105 seconds). The cancel request waited 30 seconds for the startup
handle, then returned HTTP 500 `{"error":"Internal server error"}`. The
run record showed `executionCancellation.state = "requested"` and
`nativeCancellation.dispatchState = "pending"`. When the session opened,
the executor fenced it and threw `native_finalization_missing: session
returned no semantic result`. The run ended `failed` with
`native_session_interrupted`, and the pending Stop intent was never
acknowledged.

**Expected behavior**

The cancel route returns a clear result and never an internal error. If
the Stop is saved but the session is still starting, the route returns
409 with code `native_stop_pending`. When the late session opens, it
acknowledges the saved Stop, and the run settles as an operator
cancellation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native run whose provider session takes more than 30 seconds
to open.
2. Stop the run from the board while the session is still opening.
3. See HTTP 500 from the cancel route, and see the run end `failed`
instead of `cancelled`.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/heartbeat/run-control.ts`: the cancel path
catches `native_cancellation_pending_recovery` from native dispatch. It
throws `409 native_stop_pending` instead. The run stays `running` and
keeps its saved Stop intent. No terminal transition or release happens.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.ts`: when
a late startup handle opens after a Stop caller timed out, the executor
reads the run. If a run-scope Stop intent is still `pending`, it calls
the durable `cancelNativeSession(..., { db, scope: "run" })` against the
published handle. This records the audited acknowledgement (`dispatched:
true`). The existing in-memory fence still runs. If the acknowledgement
fails, the executor logs a warning and keeps the previous behavior.
- New regression
`server/src/services/heartbeat/native-stop-pending.test.ts` (real
Postgres): startup-wait timeout and remote-ack timeout both give 409
`native_stop_pending`. The run stays `running` with its Stop intent.
Other native Stop errors stay unchanged.
- New regression in `native-session-executor.test.ts`: a Stop that times
out on startup gets its saved intent acknowledged when the late handle
opens. The provider session is cancelled once, and no turn is submitted.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: `native-stop-pending.test.ts` failed (raw
`NativeCancellationPendingRecoveryError` / `Error`, not `HttpError`).
The executor regression failed (no acknowledgement write).
- Green after the fix: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/heartbeat/native-stop-pending.test.ts`
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "late
startup"`
- Related suites:
`src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts`,
`src/services/heartbeat/`,
`src/services/native-runtime/native-stop-accounting.integration.test.ts`,
`src/__tests__/agent-live-run-routes.test.ts`.
- Evidence: the incident run had cancellation recorded at 01:12:01Z and
the 500 at 01:12:32Z. This matches the 30-second
`waitForNativeSessionStartup` deadline. Its final error matched the
startup-stop branch in the executor.

## Risks

- Low to medium. The 409 only replaces an error that was already a
failure. The caller still sees "not stopped yet", and the run is not
marked cancelled.
- The late acknowledgement runs only when a run-scope intent is
`pending` and the handle is published. It uses the same durable cancel
path that the reattach branch already uses. It can commit the normal
Stop status decision for the issue. That is the same effect a timely
Stop has.
- If the acknowledgement fails, the code falls back to the previous
in-memory fence. A Stop never gives a second executor: no provider turn
is submitted after the handle opens.

execution in Claude Code.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 f1516e8009 fix(native): stop a session.open model rejection instead of a doomed bootstrap retry (#19190)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native Runner runs start a provider session with the `session.open`
command before any prompt
> - A definite `session.open` rejection is treated as a pre-session
failure and gets a bounded same-run bootstrap retry
> - The runner also reports a closed classification. Two classifications
say that the provider cannot run the selected model:
`requested_model_unsupported` and `grok_model_mismatch`
> - Paperclip ignored that classification. It scheduled a retry that
must fail the same way. On a remote sandbox with a retained runner PID,
the due retry entered restart recovery. Restart recovery has no
checkpoint for a bootstrap retry, so it failed closed as
`native_restart_recovery_blocked` / `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`
> - The task then stayed `blocked`. The recovery actions settled as
no-replay holds, so no active action told anyone to change the model,
and the parent task stalled too
> - This pull request classifies those two definite rejections as the
existing `native_provider_model_rejected` failure
> - The benefit is a terminal failure on the first attempt, an accurate
error, and an active board recovery action that names the next step:
choose a supported model

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
On a hosted staging instance, a Grok agent run failed at `session.open`.
The runner log said `ACPX sidecar command session.open was rejected
(retryable=false, classification=grok_model_mismatch)`. Paperclip
recorded `recoveryMode: "bootstrap_retry"` and scheduled a same-run
retry 30 seconds later. The run had a remote sandbox and a recorded
sandbox PID, so the due retry went to restart recovery. Restart recovery
found no checkpoint and no provider events and failed closed with
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`. The run ended as
`native_restart_recovery_blocked`. The task stayed `blocked` with no
active recovery action for more than one hour. Its parent task stayed
blocked on it.

**What did you expect to happen?**
The selected model cannot start, so a retry cannot succeed. The run
should fail once with the model-rejection error. The task should show
the existing "choose a model" action, owned by the board, until someone
changes the model and retries.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native run whose `session.open` command fails with
`classification=grok_model_mismatch` (or `requested_model_unsupported`).
2. Read the `native_run_finalizations` row. Before this change it is
`retryable_failure` with `recoveryMode: "bootstrap_retry"` and a
`nextAttemptAt`.
3. On a remote sandbox run with a recorded PID, the due retry enters
restart recovery and fails as `native_restart_recovery_blocked`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `f5f5184f23`.

Related: #18910 routes due remote retries with a retained PID to restart
recovery. #18908 continues verified failed native preparation. Open PRs
#19177, #19180, #19182 and #19184 change no-replay hold settlement and
workspace hold release. They do not change this classification. This PR
does not duplicate them.

## What Changed

- `nativeSessionFailureSourceCode`
(`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.ts`)
returns `native_provider_model_rejected` for a definite `session.open`
failure or rejection whose runner classification is
`requested_model_unsupported` or `grok_model_mismatch`. Other definite
`session.open` rejections still return `provider_session_open_rejected`
and keep the bounded startup retry. An indeterminate `session.open`
outcome stays `native_session_interrupted`.
- `native_provider_model_rejected` is already a permanent failure. The
run stops on the first attempt with no `nextAttemptAt`, so it never
enters the restart-recovery retry path.
- When no provider session exists, the coordinator `nextAction` and the
board recovery action `nextAction` say: choose a supported model for
this agent, then retry the task.
- The existing product paths for `native_provider_model_rejected` apply:
the task presentation shows `choose_model`, and the recovery service
treats it as `configuration_incomplete`.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the rule under "Native provider
model capacity".

## Verification

Red before the fix (new test, unchanged production code):

```sh
cd server && npx vitest run src/services/native-runtime/native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts
# Tests 2 failed | 21 passed
# failureCode: native_session_interrupted, phase: retryable_failure, recoveryMode: bootstrap_retry,
# nextAction "Retry provider bootstrap on this same run ..." - the same record seen on staging
```

Green after the fix:

```sh
cd server && npx vitest run src/services/native-runtime/native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts
# Tests 23 passed

cd server && npx vitest run src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts \
  src/services/native-runtime/native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts src/services/task-interruption-presentation.test.ts
# Test Files 3 passed, Tests 1186 passed

pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck   # exit 0
```

The new integration cases use embedded PostgreSQL and the real executor
failure path. For both classifications they check:

- coordinator `terminal_failure`, `failureCode:
native_provider_model_rejected`, `nextAttemptAt: null`, attempt 1
- run `failed` with `errorCode: native_provider_model_rejected`
- task `blocked`, execution lock released
- an `active` board recovery action with cause
`native_provider_model_rejected`, return owner set to the agent, and the
choose-model next action
- `settleUnrecoverableExecutions` leaves the action `active`, so it does
not become a silent no-replay hold
- `claimNativeSessionResumptions` claims nothing, so there is no second
executor

The unit test also checks that `session_ensure_failed` keeps its bounded
retry and that an indeterminate model rejection stays unclassified.

A live Grok run with a mismatched model was not run. The failure record
in the test matches the staging record field by field.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change adds two closed runner classifications to an
existing permanent failure code. Other `session.open` rejections keep
their current retry.
- A model mismatch that a retry could fix would now need an explicit
retry. The runner already marks these rejections `retryable=false`.
- This PR does not change restart recovery. A remote bootstrap retry
with a retained sandbox PID for other `session.open` causes can still
fail closed as `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`. That needs a
separate change with remote stop evidence.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 a994a648f1 fix(workspaces): name copy-back failures on the run and end failed save operations (#19187)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native run in a Daytona sandbox saves its workspace after the
provider turn. This save is "copy-back".
> - On staging, about 20 runs kept a saved result, but copy-back failed
three times. The issues became blocked with
`native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted`.
> - #19152 added a redacted cause for a sandbox command that exits with
an error. Three gaps stayed open: a provider that refuses the command
still gives a bare code, the run does not show the cause, and the failed
save operation stays "running".
> - The first failure also had the wrong name. The runner kept the
result but did not prove a durable suspension. The executor reports this
as `native_session_lease_lost`, and the workspace operation shows only
that text.
> - This pull request names each of these failures with closed, redacted
labels. It also ends a failed save operation as "failed".
> - The benefit is that operators can see why copy-back failed and which
save is still active. Retries and saved results do not change.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19152, #19145. These are the earlier copy-back diagnostics and
retry-scheduling repairs. This PR does not duplicate them.

**What happened?**
A native task ran in a Daytona sandbox and its result was accepted. The
run then failed with `native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted`. The
run had no error text. The automatic copy-back retries each failed in
under one second, with only `workspace_sync_out_failed`. The final
`remote_workspace_snapshot` operation stayed "running" after the retries
stopped. The first `workspace_finalize` operation showed only
`native_session_lease_lost`. The run log showed that the runner shutdown
timed out before durable suspension. The lease was not lost.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a native task in a Daytona sandbox until its result is accepted.
2. Make the sandbox provider refuse the copy-back command (for example,
a lease that is no longer active), so that no exit status comes back.
3. Let the automatic retries stop. Then read the run and its workspace
operations.

**Expected behavior**
The run, the coordinator, and the failed operations name a redacted
cause. The failed save operation is "failed" with a finish time.

**Actual behavior**
The run has no cause. The save operation stays "running". A provider
refusal keeps only the bare `workspace_sync_out_failed` code.

## What Changed

- `remote-workspace-transport.ts`: the provider can throw instead of
returning an exit status for the copy-back helper, the capture, or the
archive download. `remoteWorkspaceFailureCause` then returns
`remote_workspace_operation_failed: operation=<op> transport=<label>[
code=<ERRNO>]`. The label is from a closed list (for example
`sandbox_lease_inactive`, `permission_denied`, `sandbox_not_running`,
`transport_timeout`, `transport_closed`, `daytona_sandbox_not_found`,
`provider_error`). Provider text is never copied into the cause. The
thrown error does not change, so preparation errors,
`classifyNativeWorkspaceFailure`, and other callers keep their
contracts. Archive-safety and Git-metadata refusals get no label,
because they have their own diagnostics.
- `remote-workspaces.ts`: when the last active invocation of a save
fails, the save operation becomes "failed" with `exitCode`,
`finishedAt`, a redacted `stderrExcerpt`, and `metadata.lastFailure`. A
retry of the same boundary sets it to "running" again. A success sets it
to "succeeded". After the final save commits, a failed save is retired
for export cleanup in the same way as a running save.
- `remote-workspace-snapshot-retention.ts`: a failed save that is not
retired keeps its snapshot pinned, as it did while it was "running". Its
retry can still use an uploaded snapshot.
- `native-run-finalizer.ts` and `native-workspace-finalizer.ts`: the
redacted cause of each copy-back attempt goes to the coordinator
`failureDetail.failureCause` and the run `resultJson.failureCause`. When
retries stop, the run error adds `Last cause: <cause>`. The server
checks the cause against a fixed grammar again before it writes it. A
cause with a path or other text is dropped.
- `native-post-result-failure.ts` (new), `native-session-executor.ts`,
`runtime-execution.ts`: a failure after an accepted result gets the
label `runner_settlement_incomplete` when the runner did not prove a
durable suspension. The failed `workspace_finalize` operation records
this closed diagnostic as `failureDiagnostic`. The coordinator records
it as `native_post_result_failure: category=<label>`. The control code
`native_session_lease_lost` and its fencing do not change.

## Verification

- Red, before the fix (the new tests run against `master` source):
- 4 provider-refusal cases and the archive download failure: no redacted
cause was available, so the copy-back recorded only the bare code.
- Failed save, with only the transport fix applied: `- "status":
"failed"` / `+ "status": "running"`.
- Run cause after retries stop: `expected null to be
'remote_workspace_operation_failed: …'`.
- Green, after the fix:
`cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/remote-workspace-transport.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-save-concurrency.test.ts
src/__tests__/native-workspace-finalization-work.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-post-result-failure.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspaces.integration.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-snapshot-retention.test.ts` passes.
- Safety cases:
- The failed save is retried on the same boundary operation, records
"succeeded", and keeps the saved file bytes.
- `daytona_sandbox_not_found` is still classified as
`workspace_sync_out_unrecoverable`.
  - An archive-safety refusal keeps its exact text.
  - A forged cause with a path never reaches the run or the coordinator.
- A run-level timeout cause (`remote_workspace_operation_timed_out:
capture (configured timeout 300000ms)`) reaches the run and the
coordinator.
- `heartbeat-native-remote-failure-retention.test.ts` passes: a
preparation failure keeps its exact run error.
- The existing integration tests for retired saves, poisoned
reservations, duplicate invocations, and snapshot retention pass. They
prove export cleanup and identity protection.
- `tsc --noEmit` for `server` reports no errors.
- Not done: a live Daytona copy-back. This PR adds diagnostics and
corrects the operation state. It does not change when a retry runs.

## Risks

- Thrown copy-back errors do not change. Only the recorded cause is new.
The `daytona_sandbox_not_found` and archive-safety classifications are
tested.
- A failed save operation is now "failed" before the final save commits.
Retirement, export cleanup, and snapshot pinning now also select these
failed rows. They select only rows with `lastFailure` and no retirement
receipt.
- Privacy: each new cause is a closed label or a server-built code. The
server checks it again with an anchored grammar before it writes the
run. No sandbox output, path, or message text is stored.
- The retry count, the retry delay, and the classification of each
failure do not change. No provider turn is added.

`runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`. The retirement path has about
twenty separate fences, and each refusal gives the same error.
> - The read-only run data cannot tell which fence held these runs. A
code fix without that evidence would be a guess.
> - This pull request names the first failed retirement proof in the
error. Admission behavior does not change.
> - The benefit is that the next failure on a deployment identifies the
exact fence, so the follow-up fix can target it.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18846 (retirement of recovered per-turn owners). Refs #18992
(settlement from live state).

**What happened?**

On a test deployment, 16 runs in one day failed before provider work
with `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`. All were per-turn
`acpx_runtime` runs in a Daytona sandbox, and each got a new sandbox. In
the runs that I inspected, the previous run committed its result. In one
of them, `harness_state.backup.persist` and `session.checkpoint.persist`
ran for about 346 seconds and failed, so the Runner left no suspension
receipt or failover backup. That is the case that #18846 addresses, but
the follow-ups still failed. The run log does not show the retirement
message, and the error is the same for each fence. Thus the cause cannot
be found from the run data.

**Expected behavior**

When admission holds a follow-up, the error names the proof that failed.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Seed a per-turn sandbox owner that committed its result without a
Runner suspension receipt.
2. Make one retirement proof fail. For example, leave the owner phase
`observed`, or leave a `runner.suspend` command pending.
3. Admit a follow-up in a new sandbox.
4. Before this change, every case fails with the same error text.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on a deployment before `e107a75755`. The same error text is on
`master`.

## What Changed

- `retireFinishedPerTurnRunnerdOwner` returns the refusal reason instead
of `false`. `readSettledRunnerdProjection` returns the journal refusal
reason instead of `null`.
- When admission tries the retirement and it fails, the error is
`prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate; retirement_refused=<reason>`.
A warm session gets no suffix, because retirement does not apply to it.
- Reasons use only fixed lists of known names: owner phase, recovery
state, controller fence reason, unsettled command type and status,
sandbox outcome, and quarantine copy result. Any other stored value
appears as `other`. Reasons do not include payloads, file names, or
paths.
- The same proofs apply in the same order. Admission accepts and refuses
the same states as before.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the suffix.

## Verification

- **Failure before the change:** I ran the updated
`native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts` against the unchanged
executor. 18 tests failed. Example: expected `...indeterminate;
retirement_refused=owner_observed`, received `...indeterminate`.
- **After the change:** `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`: 22
passed. Each held case now asserts its reason:
`owner_retryable_failure`, `controller_remote_controller_lease_live`,
`owner_recovery_resuming_session`,
`journal_commands_unsettled(runner.suspend.pending)`,
`journal_tool_input_unanswered`, `quarantine_journal_identity_mismatch`,
`runner_lifecycle_not_suspended`, and
`quarantine_runner_lifecycle_not_suspended`.
- The success cases still retire the owner and admit the follow-up.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/remote-warm-session-recovery.test.ts`: 1227
passed, 20 skipped.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-controller-recovery.integration.test.ts
src/__tests__/task-workspace-binding.test.ts`: passed.
- `tsc --noEmit` reports no errors in the changed lines. This worktree
did not build every workspace package, so the full-package typecheck
shows unrelated missing-module errors. CI runs the full typecheck.
- **Not verified live:** no deployment has run this change.

## Risks

- Low risk. Admission logic is unchanged. Only the error text gets a
suffix.
- Consumers that match the error by prefix still match.
`failed-run-retry.ts` uses `startsWith("runner_state_identity_mismatch:
")`. No code compares the full string outside tests.
- This change does not fix the held runs. It finds the fence. A second
change is needed after a deployment reports the reason.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool use,
shell execution, and read-only browser access to a test deployment. The
harness does not expose the context window size.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 3a72efebe5 fix(native): confirm no runner process when remote staging fails before launch (#19059)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native sandbox runs supervise a remote `paperclip-runnerd` process.
When that process exits during a turn, the transport restarts it inside
a reconnect grace window.
> - The server launcher stages the runtime assets first. Then it sends
one launch RPC that starts runnerd.
> - When staging failed, the launcher reported the exit as unconfirmed.
This happened although no launch RPC was sent and no process could
exist.
> - Reconnect recovery treats an unconfirmed exit as a possible second
owner. So it stopped at once with
`runner_process_termination_unconfirmed` and did not retry.
> - This pull request confirms the exit for failures before the launch
RPC. Failures after dispatch stay unconfirmed.
> - The benefit is that a transient staging failure, such as a full
sandbox disk, uses the normal bounded retry. A real failure ends with
`transport_reconnect_grace_exceeded` and keeps the staging error as the
detail.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
On a hosted staging deployment, 7 native ACPX runs failed in 24 hours
with `Provider notification transport failed closed.`
(`native_provider_terminal_failed`). In every run, the runner process
exited during the turn. The replacement launch then failed while it
uploaded the runtime context into the sandbox:
`runner_process_termination_unconfirmed: replacement runner health could
not be verified: ... .paperclip-upload-<uuid>.tar.gz: create: ... no
space left on device`.
The sandbox disk was full. No replacement process was started. But the
launcher said that it could not confirm the exit. So recovery did not
retry inside its grace window.

**Expected behavior**
A staging failure before the launch RPC proves that no replacement
process exists. Recovery must retry within the configured reconnect
grace. If the failure continues, the run must end with the
reconnect-grace failure and the staging error.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a remote runner launcher whose `ensureArtifact` step throws,
for example with an ENOSPC upload error.
2. Wait for the handle completion to reject.
3. Before this change, `isExitConfirmed()` returns `false`, and no
launch RPC was sent. The transport then fails closed with
`runner_process_termination_unconfirmed`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Observed on staging revision `89703c3`. Reproduced on `master` at
`be20d4ad97`.

Related: #19035 and #19014 change other runner paths (replayed terminal
turns and redacted external tool results). They do not change remote
launcher exit evidence. #18999 adds a free-space reserve for host-volume
seed copies. It does not change sandbox disk use or this classification.

## What Changed

- `createRemoteRunnerProcessLauncher` records when it dispatches the
launch RPC. If the completion fails before that point, the handle
reports `isExitConfirmed() === true`. The original error is kept
unchanged.
- A failed or timed-out launch RPC still reports an unconfirmed exit,
because the RPC may have started runnerd.
- Added a launcher regression for a staging failure before dispatch.
- Added safety cases for a failed and a timed-out launch RPC.
- Added a transport regression with the real `paperclip-runnerd`. A
replacement whose staging fails is retried, and the next launch restores
the durable session without a notification failure.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "remote
runner process supervision"` failed `confirms no replacement process
exists when staging fails before the launch RPC` with `expected false to
be true`. The two launch-RPC safety cases passed.
- Green after the fix: `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts` passes 1131
of 1131 tests.
- `npx vitest run src/services/native-runtime/setup-readiness.test.ts`
passes 98 of 98 tests.
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts` passes 246 of 246 tests with
the real debug `paperclip-runnerd`. This includes the existing case
where a replacement with a dispatched but unverifiable process still
fails closed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server` and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck` pass.
- Not run: a live hosted sandbox with a full disk. The staging data
showed the exact error, but this change was not deployed there.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change affects only failures that occur before the
launch RPC. In that window, the launcher has not run any sandbox command
that can start runnerd.
- Retries now run for the reconnect grace window, which is bounded and
uses the existing backoff. Each failed staging attempt cleans its own
upload scratch.
- This change does not free sandbox disk space. If the disk stays full,
the run still fails, now with `transport_reconnect_grace_exceeded` and
the ENOSPC detail.

## Model Used

Code with tool use, shell execution, and code editing.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 5723fd82ca fix(native): release a fresh claim when task preparation fails (#19065)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native run claims its finalization coordinator before task
preparation. Then it starts the provider turn.
> - Task preparation can fail after the claim and before any provider
turn.
> - In that case the executor kept its claim. Failure settlement read
the claim as a live owner and stopped. Nothing failed the run.
> - The 60-second execution-control watchdog then failed the run as
`execution_finalization_deadline_exceeded`. The original error was lost.
> - This pull request releases only that exact fresh, unstarted claim
after renewal stops.
> - The benefit is that ordinary settlement fails the run at once with
its real error and keeps the workspace files. The watchdog stays a
backstop.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19028. That PR keeps the earlier failure code when the watchdog
fails a run. In this case no earlier code is saved, so it cannot help.
This PR removes the wait for the watchdog. I searched open PRs for
duplicates. #18820, #19034 and #19038 touch near code, but none release
a preparation claim.

**What happened?**

A native task with a prepared sandbox workspace failed during
preparation, after the controller claim committed. The coordinator
stayed `observed` and kept this controller's lease owner. The heartbeat
failure path calls workspace preservation. Preservation refuses any
lease owner without a matching restart claim, so it raised
`NativeWorkspaceFinalizationBusyError`. The heartbeat then treated
ownership as held and returned without a terminal write. About 60
seconds later the watchdog failed the run with a generic "verify the
provider stopped" action. The real error (for example
`native_harness_storage_owner_missing`) stayed only in the workspace
operation record.

**Expected behavior**

When no provider turn started under a fresh claim, settle the failure
like a failure before the claim: retain the source, fail the run with
its own error, and do not wait for the watchdog.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native run with a prepared remote workspace.
2. Make task preparation fail after `native.coordinator.claim` commits
(for example, a preparation callback throws).
3. See that the run stays `running` until the control deadline fails it
as `execution_finalization_deadline_exceeded`.

## What Changed

- `native-execution-lease.ts`: add
`releaseUnstartedNativeExecutionClaim`. It clears the lease owner and
expiry only for the exact run, company, issue, owner and attempt, while
the phase is `observed` and no result exists.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: when task preparation fails after a
fresh claim, mark that claim. The startup owner releases it after
renewal stops. A restart-recovery claim, a startup-cleanup context,
Stop, restart detach, or a different owner keeps the old behavior.
- Tests: an executor regression for the fresh and restart cases, and a
real-database test for release and workspace retention against the exact
owner, a foreign owner, a different attempt and an accepted result.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: state that the deadline is a backstop
and describe the release.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "releases
only a fresh claim"` fails with "releaseUnstartedNativeExecutionClaim
... Number of calls: 0".
- Green after the fix, with the same command.
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-failed-workspace-recovery.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-execution-lease.test.ts
src/services/execution-control-reconciliation.test.ts` passes (embedded
Postgres for the retention test).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.
- Not done: a live run against a real sandbox at this revision. The
staging evidence is read-only.

## Risks

- The release is fenced by the exact owner, attempt, `observed` phase
and no result. Renewal stops before the release, so a renewal cannot see
a missing owner and detach or cancel the run.
- The fix covers failures inside task preparation only. Failures later
in startup, or after a restart-recovery claim expires, still reach the
watchdog. Those keep fail-closed behavior and need separate evidence.
- If the release write fails, the run keeps the old watchdog path.

DottaandPaperclip 818d2bb661 fix(native): preserve closed post-result failure diagnostics (#19126)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native execution persists a result before it completes cleanup and
workspace export.
> - A later execution error enters the failure-write path.
> - That write must reject an already selected result. The existing code
reports lease loss for every rejected write.
> - This can hide the category of the first error even when the same
controller still owns an unexpired lease.
> - This change adds closed diagnostic labels after exact ownership and
accepted-result checks. It keeps the existing control error and recovery
policy.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A local real-PostgreSQL regression accepts a result through the
production control plane, then injects a harmless filesystem failure.
The production executor reports `native_session_lease_lost`. It loses
the original failure category because the failure transition requires a
null result ID.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the result guard and the existing lifecycle classification. Record
a closed diagnostic category when the selected result is accepted and
the controller still has exact, unexpired authority. Keep ordinary
lease-loss fencing when that proof is absent or its diagnostic lock is
busy.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the new post-result cases in
`server/src/services/heartbeat/runtime-execution.test.ts`. They use the
real executor, control-plane result commit, heartbeat recovery path and
PostgreSQL. The provider boundary is controlled. No live provider is
used.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The regression fails on base `7d1e9b3477`. Related open PR #16917
changes legacy lease recovery. Open #19063 adds terminal finalizer
reasons, and #15310 preserves database finalization errors. They do not
change this executor diagnostic branch. This change only adds native
diagnostic evidence and does not reclaim a lease.

## What Changed

- Add a typed diagnostic with a closed stage, category and
accepted-result flag. Do not retain the source message, path, arbitrary
code or lease token.
- After a rejected failure write, check the selected accepted result and
the exact company, task, run, owner, attempt, generation, process
identity and expiry. Use a coordinator-only `NOWAIT` lock. Fall back to
the original control error if the diagnostic read fails.
- Report the closed event after rollback. Keep
`native_session_lease_lost` as the error message and leave every
failure-write predicate unchanged.
- Add real-PostgreSQL safety cases for stale and expired authority,
owner replacement, Stop state, result selection, pending accounting, one
provider invocation, closed labels and diagnostic sink failure.
- Document the closed event, unchanged authority, and possible late
diagnostic sink completion.
- Add a competing-row-lock barrier. It verifies actual PostgreSQL lock
refusal and control settlement before the competing lock is released.

## Verification

- Permanent regression on unchanged base: RED because the closed
diagnostic is absent.
- NOWAIT mutation: RED when only NOWAIT is removed. PostgreSQL reports
lock timeout instead of immediate lock refusal. The test uses barriers
and the actual database error, with no elapsed-time assertion.
- Final related suites: 56 tests passed across runtime execution and
provider failure integration tests.
- Full server source and test typecheck: passed.
- Full `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed in an independent locked-dependency
checkout.
- Full `pnpm build`: passed.
- Full `pnpm test:run`: running in the independent immutable checkout.
All six chat shards passed; the remaining suites are still pending.
- The first current-head CI attempt failed in two cases: workspace
runtime initial fixture HTTP readiness and instructions-bundle
error-message rendering. Both exact cases passed in isolation on
unchanged PR head and base. The original causes remain unknown after
bounded test-only observation. One controlled same-head rerun of each
failed job passed. Current required CI and all other completed checks
passed. Original failures remain recorded; no infrastructure or
flaky-test claim is made.
- Module boundary check and `git diff --check`: passed.
- Exact-head Greptile: 5/5 with no actionable findings or open review
threads. Automatic native review remains queued. That advisory check is
not required by current master rules; no current-head native assessment
is claimed.
- Earlier fixture setup failures remain recorded. These included missing
fixture fields and observing the Drizzle wrapper instead of its
PostgreSQL cause. They are not the regression RED. An earlier broad
typecheck was interrupted for the required NOWAIT revision; the final
full typecheck passed.
- No hosted export recovery or original hosted failure cause is claimed.

## Risks

The extra read is diagnostic only. It uses NOWAIT and cannot wait for a
competing coordinator lock. Its failure preserves the existing control
classification. The event sink uses the existing 60-second
execution-control bound. A slow sink can finish later and emit a late
event. Result selection, Stop, accounting, retry eligibility and
provider work do not depend on event success. No schema or lifecycle
contract changes are required.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1, model ID `gpt-6.1-sol`, with reasoning, tool use and
code execution. The host did not expose the context-window size.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 86afc2048b fix(native): admit follow-ups after an owner finished in this process (#19071)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner per-turn sessions in a remote sandbox keep one
conversation across task turns.
> - Before a follow-up starts a new Runner, it must prove that the
previous owner's controller stopped. #18846 added a retirement path for
this proof.
> - The native controller runs inside the webserver process. Thus the
owner's recorded controller PID is the PID of the webserver.
> - When the same server process serves the follow-up, that PID is alive
and has the same start time. The proof reads this as "controller still
alive" and refuses. The follow-up then fails with
`runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`. This continues until a deploy
replaces the process.
> - This pull request uses the controller's per-process boot identity to
recognize that this process recorded the owner. The process then uses
its own session registry to prove that the owner's controller stopped.
> - The benefit is that follow-ups on a long-lived server no longer fail
before provider work. All other ownership fences stay as they are.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18846 (retirement of recovered per-turn owners). Refs #19061
(names the refused retirement proof). The two changes are compatible.
Whichever merges second needs a small rebase in
`retireFinishedPerTurnRunnerdOwner`.

**What happened?**

On a test deployment, 17 runs over 14 tasks failed before provider work
with `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`. Each run had a per-turn
lifecycle in a Daytona sandbox and got a new sandbox. In each inspected
case, the previous run on the task succeeded and committed its result.
Its run profile had no `nativeControllerRecovery` pointer. Without that
pointer, `evaluateNativeControllerTakeover` is not lease-fenced, so it
uses process liveness. The recorded `controllerPid` is `process.pid` of
the webserver. When the follow-up is served in the same process,
`process.kill(pid, 0)` succeeds and the start time matches. The result
is `controller_still_alive`, and retirement refuses.

**Expected behavior**

A committed owner that this server process finished, released, and no
longer runs is proven stopped. The follow-up then starts a new Runner,
as #18846 intended.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Seed a per-turn sandbox owner that committed its result and released
its lease. Record this process's controller identity
(`currentNativeControllerIdentity()`) as the owner.
2. Keep the owner's file-backed journal in the local session root, and
remove the database recovery pointer.
3. Admit a follow-up in a new sandbox.
4. Before this change, admission fails with
`prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on `e107a75755`. The same code is on `master`.

## What Changed

- `native-restart-recovery.ts`: add
`isCurrentNativeControllerProcess(owner)`. It is true only when the
owner's `controllerBootId` is this process's per-start boot UUID and
`controllerPid === process.pid`. A recycled PID or another container
never matches.
- `retireFinishedPerTurnRunnerdOwner`: when the owner was finished in
this process and no `activeNativeSessions` or `nativeSessionStartups`
entry exists for its run, treat its controller as stopped. Otherwise,
use `evaluateNativeControllerTakeover` as before. The same in-process
check runs again just before the archive.
- All other retirement proofs are unchanged: committed result, released
lease, no recovery state, settled journal, answered tool inputs,
quarantine copies, and new or replacement sandbox.
- `native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`: the seed helper accepts the
owner's controller identity. New cases cover same-process admission
(with and without a recovery pointer), an exited legacy controller,
another live controller, and the same PID with a different boot
identity.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describe the same-process
stopped-controller proof.

## Verification

- **Failure before the change:** with only the new tests applied, `cd
server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`
fails 1 case: "admits a follow-up in the process that finished the
owner: local journal only". It expected admission and received
`runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`, the exact error from the
deployment. The safety cases already passed on the old code.
- **After the change:** the same file passes 27 of 27.
- Adjacent suites: `native-recovered-owner-followup`,
`remote-warm-session-recovery`,
`native-runner-restart-recovery.integration`, `native-restart-recovery`,
`native-session-resume`: 210 passed, 20 skipped.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts`: 1128 passed.
- `tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json`: no errors.
- **Not verified live:** this change has not run on a deployment. Run
data came from read-only API calls only. No recovery was done on the
deployment.

## Risks

- **Second executor.** The new proof applies only when this exact
process recorded the owner, and this process has no session or startup
for that run. The database proofs still require a committed result and a
released lease. Another live controller, or the same PID with a
different boot identity, still holds the owner. Tests cover both cases.
- **Scope.** The change applies only to the per-turn retirement path.
The warm remote recovery path (`inspectRemoteWarmSessionRecovery`) is
not changed. Warm handoff in the same process uses the in-memory idle
owner instead.
- **Hypothesis limit.** The deployment API does not expose finalization
rows. Thus I inferred that the same process served each follow-up from
the evidence: no recovery pointer, a local journal present, and no other
failing proof. The local reproduction gives the exact error. #19061 can
confirm the refused fence on the deployment.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic. Agentic coding in
Claude Code with tool use (shell, browser for read-only staging API
reads, code execution).

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 e107a75755 fix(native): decide session settlement from live state (#18992)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner sessions keep one provider conversation across task
turns, so a later run attaches to a session that an earlier run settled.
> - Three gates decide if a session is settled: Core's journal check,
the Runner's attach check, and the Runner's drain of provider messages
after a turn.
> - Each gate kept a list of harmless events and refused anything else.
Every new harmless event became an outage.
> - An example: Codex replays a settled turn's usage on `thread/resume`,
so `run.attach` refused every session that restarted after its idle
timeout.
> - Events after a terminal describe the past. Refusing the session
cannot undo them, and it hides them.
> - This pull request asks a different question: is anything live or
waiting right now? Past events are recorded and no longer block.
> - The benefit is that harmless events stop breaking session
continuity, with no event list for Core and the Runner to keep in step.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No issue exists. I searched open and closed pull requests and issues for
`run.attach requires a settled Codex provider session` and
`prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`. Related work: #18890 added
one more accepted event to Core's list. This change replaces that list.
#18991 handles late usage and is independent of this change.

**What happened?**

On a test deployment, 11 runs failed in 21 days when `run.attach`
refused with `requires a settled Codex provider session with no pending
events`. In all 11, the four pending events were two startup audit
events, `session.resumed`, and a `codex_resume_usage_snapshot`
diagnostic. The diagnostic is what the attach check refused. The retry
then failed with `prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate` in 6 of
them, which hid the first failure.

**Expected behavior**

A session with nothing live or waiting accepts the next run. If
attachment fails, the run reports the real cause.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Finish a Codex turn on a native Runner session.
2. Wait for the idle timeout so that the provider process stops.
3. Start the next run. Codex replays the usage for the settled turn on
`thread/resume`.
4. The attach fails.
`durable_backend_attaches_after_a_settled_resume_usage_snapshot`
reproduces this on the unfixed code.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on `8fd917aedf`. The same check is on `master` before this
change.

**Deployment mode**

Cloud deployment, with a native Runner in a plugin sandbox environment.

## What Changed

- **Runner attach:** `attach_run` refuses only for live or waiting
state: no thread, a closed session, a session that needs reconciliation,
an active or ambiguous turn, an active goal, a pending tool call, or an
unanswered provider request. The error now names the reason.
- **Pending events:** they no longer block attachment. They stay in the
retained queue, and the Runner commits them under the prior authority
before it rotates. `session.resumed` is still discarded because it is
superseded.
- **Runner drain:** `drain_completed_turn_tail_for_warm_attachment` no
longer needs a list of known messages. It still fails on a message that
names another turn, on `turn/started`, on a provider request, and on a
process exit.
- **Core:** `isSettledRemoteWarmControlState` accepts any authenticated
event after the terminal unless it starts work (`turn.started`,
`turn.accepted`, `run.attached`, `tool.execution.started`,
`semantic_tool.input`, `runtime_request.created`), or a goal snapshot or
update shows an active goal or work in progress. All identity, source
and protocol checks are unchanged.
- **Visibility:** the next run's log names the event types that were
recorded after the previous run finished.
- **Real cause:** a same-run retry after a failed attachment now fails
with `prior_attach_failed: <original failure>`, instead of
`prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`.
- **Docs:** added "Session settlement after a run" to
`doc/execution-semantics.md`.

## Verification

- `cd packages/paperclip-runner/runner && cargo test --locked -p
paperclip-runner-core --test codex_provider`: 102 passed, 2 ignored.
`--lib`: 478 passed, 2 ignored. `--test durable_recovery`: 3 passed.
- **Failure before the fix:**
`durable_backend_attaches_after_a_settled_resume_usage_snapshot` failed
on the unfixed code with the same error as production.
- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/remote-warm-session-recovery.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "settled
remote warm control evidence|recovers a blocked|automatically recovers
only a proven settled local session|retained|warm"`: 476 passed, 680
skipped by the filter.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-resume.test.ts`: 57 passed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p .` in `server` reports no errors.
- **Real data, read-only:** I decrypted the 11 failed runs' stored
events on a test deployment and printed only event types, field names,
and thread and turn IDs. All 11 show the same four events.
- **Audit of live state:** I read the Runner's provider state and
request tracking to build the attach check. It is a code audit. I have
not proved that every kind of live work sets a flag. The Runner holds
active turns, ambiguous starts, tool calls and provider requests in
state today.
- **Not covered:** the wiring that throws `prior_attach_failed` has unit
coverage for its message only, not an end-to-end test.
- **Review:** Greptile Apex scored 4/5, then 5/5 at the current head.
- **Not run locally:** the full test suite. CI provides that coverage.
- **Not verified live:** no live run has used this change.

## Risks

- **Fail-open for unknown live work:** an event type that starts work,
but is not in the short list and sets no state flag, would now pass.
This is the main tradeoff. The previous list failed closed, but it
caused real outages.
- **More events reach the journal after a terminal.** The usage replay
diagnostic is now delivered rather than refused. These events are
informational, and they are named in the next run's log.
- **A failed attachment is not retried on the same run.** Some refusals
could clear on their own, such as a turn that finishes, and some attach
errors are not about live work, such as a failed provider restore. The
run now reports the cause, and it needs another run to continue. On a
test deployment, the next successful run after each failure used a new
provider thread and a new execution workspace. A later change could add
same-run retry.
- **Rollout order:** deploy Core before the Runner. An older Core would
refuse the new events that a new Runner commits after a terminal.
- **Migrations:** this change has no migration.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be reworked.

DottaandPaperclip 3a2249dd57 fix(runner): retry proven ingress bootstrap failures (#18981)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native execution must retain its admitted model and execution
authority during recovery.
> - A sandbox provider can reject Runner endpoint acquisition before the
Runner gets a credential.
> - The old error path loses the structured HTTP status and leaves that
startup failure ambiguous.
> - A zero counter in an old checkpoint cannot prove that no credential
was issued.
> - This pull request adds a versioned producer proof and carries closed
provider status through the existing RPC.
> - A proved transient startup failure uses the existing retry budget. A
terminal proved-unused run can settle its accounting.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18018 and #18934. Those changes restore existing checkpoints and
ready retained environments. This change covers endpoint acquisition
before Runner dispatch. A search of related public PRs found no
duplicate implementation.

**What happened?**

A provider HTTP 502 during Runner endpoint acquisition becomes an
untyped worker error. Native recovery treats it as ambiguous and stops
without retrying. The run's native usage receipt also stays pending
after startup ends without model work.

**Expected behavior**

Retry a structured transient endpoint failure only when the complete
current controller checkpoint proves that this exact run never issued a
Runner credential. Preserve authentication, configuration, Stop,
ownership and provider-progress gates. Settle zero usage only under the
existing terminal accounting owner.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use the controlled endpoint in the Daytona ingress integration test
to return HTTP 502.
2. Register the actual native Runner driver and persist its bootstrap
journal through the encrypted checkpoint writer.
3. Observe the old terminal ambiguous disposition instead of bounded
startup recovery.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on the pre-change master source. The original regression used
the production native driver, a real HTTP fault, a real durable control
plane and local Postgres. The new contract additionally tests the pinned
Daytona SDK and real worker RPC.

## What Changed

- The controller owns a v2 persisted state with retained origin and
credential history. Current readers still accept v1. Older writers
reject v2. Restore and checkpoint decoding do not add missing history.
- The proof validates the complete bootstrap journal, all six identity
fields and every delivery, credential and progress control. The server
rechecks its fingerprint under the current controller claim before retry
or accounting changes.
- Daytona and the SDK carry a closed acquisition phase and HTTP status
through the existing ingress RPC. Both public error wrappers omit
response bodies and causes, including Pino cause serialization.
- Only structured HTTP 429 or 5xx ingress failures can use the existing
three-attempt startup budget. HTTP 401/403, configuration and unknown
errors do not gain retry authority.
- A terminal proved-unused run wakes existing accounting and records
zero provider work. It does not create a semantic result, prove physical
termination or release an unknown process/workspace hold.
- The normal automatic second attempt rechecks its exact claim, frozen
execution and matching complete local/encrypted journal before admitting
absent remote Runner state. It keeps the original pending bootstrap
command IDs. A proved unused Codex home can rematerialize sealed skills.
Full raw local state is checked before streaming-event or policy
projection.
- Normal saved-state readers and the existing E2E journal evidence
matcher accept the closed v1/v2 set. The separate legacy no-launch
witness is unchanged. Technical docs describe the contracts.

## Verification

Current head: `cd38f70409cdb8664e14bfbf4efa208f468a0419` (final delta
adds only fixture artifact preparation). Production files are unchanged
from the independently reviewed `93c8a33520` source. Full repository
typecheck and build passed at `96417acb58`; the affected server
typecheck also passes after the final two-line fixture delta. Focused
protocol, raw-proof, real retry, SDK and RPC acceptance pass on this
source. Earlier broad suite counts are listed with their limits below:

- Durable Runner protocol: 187 tests.
- Native executor, driver, startup/accounting and redaction: 1,211
tests, including real Postgres and encrypted checkpoint persistence.
- Normal saved-state restore/projection compatibility: 21 focused cases.
- SDK: 209 tests.
- Standalone Daytona: 544 tests; 8 opt-in live tests skipped.
- Explicit standalone `pnpm -C
packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona exec vitest run --config
vitest.sdk-ingress.config.ts`: 6 cases with real pinned SDK 0.203.0 and
worker RPC ingress acceptance. These include lookup 502/401/403/400,
private-preview 502 after successful lookup/refresh, missing credentials
and private-response exclusion.
- E2E journal evidence: 4 cases across both supported formats, with
wrong ownership, missing stimulus and unknown-schema controls.
- The exact historical controller source rejects a new v2 checkpoint at
decode and restore. A v1 control is accepted. This verifies the
downgrade fence with the actual older parser.
- Startup controls cover issued and pruned credentials, old/truncated
journals, provider progress, exhausted retry accounting, and
checkpoint/Stop/controller-claim races. Race cases retain the current
execution and pending usage.
- New exact admission controls: 19 cases through encrypted persistence
and cold restore. They cover current/stale/expired claims, Stop, pause,
model/trust/account changes, prior progress, issued/pruned credentials,
adopted/old/truncated state, local/canonical fingerprint mismatch,
hidden delivery, unsupported work and company scope. Two additional
red/green cases prove that raw local stream progress and missing event
policy are rejected before lossy checkpoint projection. No case mutates
run, claim, result or accounting state.
- Actual native executor, scheduler and Rust Runner retry: 2 cases.
Codex uses its fake app server. OpenCode uses the real proxy and fake
OpenCode HTTP server with the frozen DeepSeek model and allow permission
configuration. Each path launches no Runner on attempt 1, starts one
Runner and provider on attempt 2, reuses both original command IDs,
commits one accepted result, validates the persisted local workspace,
records nonzero synthetic native usage and settles accounting once. No
zero-work accounting flag survives.

The controlled SDK and protocol tests use local source, isolated
PostgreSQL, a private HTTPS preview and fake provider servers on macOS
arm64 with Node 24.22.2. They create no hosted sandbox and make no model
call. The root workspace intentionally omits standalone provider
dependencies; the explicit SDK target fails if its pinned dependency is
absent and has no conditional skip. They do not qualify hosted rollout
or repair an old unmarked checkpoint. The first full local typecheck
found missing checkout SDK links from an install with scripts disabled;
the repository link helper repaired that setup.

Current-head Linux CI typecheck and build pass. Independent final review
checked 12 source scopes and six raw-proof controls with no remaining
finding. Fresh Greptile review is 5/5 with no unresolved thread.

The full Runner CI suite found two older control-peer test doubles
missing the new proof method. Both now return no proof, with all 27
permission, ordering and cancellation assertions retained and passing.
The new Cargo-dependent native retry suite uses the existing Rust-cached
CI lane. All 39 lane coverage controls pass and prove complete,
duplicate-free suite coverage. The first full test run stopped at an
admitted chat Retry polling failure. CI also found a stale
retained-allocation fixture, now repaired on master by #18984, and a
canceled runner job. A real SDK suite initially relied on a dependency
absent from the root workspace; the explicit standalone target now owns
that acceptance.

The separate Product E2E support run had 12 failures in four untouched
files. All 12 reproduce on the original clean base with independent
dependencies, compiled base source and verified workspace resolution.
These concern workflow expectations, cleanup timeout arguments, a
profile snapshot and operating receipts. They are not passing
acceptance.

The later full local repository test command stopped at a 15-second
timeout in the unchanged GitHub pre-allocation retry `controller` case.
That exact case passed in isolation with unchanged assertions. The broad
Runner run initially omitted `test:typescript:prep` and lacked debug
fake-provider binaries. Required preparation then passed 370 + 44
package contract cases (11 skipped); the prepared full package run
reported 4,932 passed, 9 failed and 13 skipped. All failed families then
passed with unchanged assertions in isolation: 8 ACPX controller tests
and 2 credential controls. The paired original-base ACPX control also
passed. The full-run failures remain recorded; they are not passing
full-suite evidence.

The first Rust-cached native CI run found a missing generated OpenCode
proxy in a fresh checkout. The fixture now runs the existing verified
provider-entrypoint builder. Removing the generated proxy reproduces the
exact ENOENT before the fix; both real retry cases pass after the fix
from the same absent-artifact state.

All current-head CI gates pass, including the aggregate verification
check. Linux native CI passes all 10 suites: 177 tests pass and 14
opt-in cases skip. Both real provider retry cases pass. The full Runner
package passes 297 suites and 4,950 tests, with 1 suite and 10 tests
skipped. The CLI workspace groups pass 4,762 and 286 tests. The first CI
attempt had Runner shutdowns in the Runner package, Canary and three
general server jobs. One unchanged CLI shard also hit child-server
startup and dense ZIP deadlines. Both CLI files passed unchanged in
isolation: 18 tests. One bounded rerun of unsuccessful jobs and their
dependents passed. The original failures remain recorded.

## Risks

- Older controllers reject newly written v2 state on downgrade. Current
controllers retain v1 restore support, but old or unmarked state cannot
gain this new proof.
- An older plugin that omits structured ingress evidence remains held.
The server and provider must use the new producer contract for this
recovery path. The Docker `cloud` target builds the SDK, server/Runner
and standalone Daytona producer from one source tree. The default
`production` target does not build the standalone producer. Hosted
rollout must confirm the new image and active image-owned plugin worker;
a registry version alone does not prove its source. An npm-installed
producer needs an explicit matching artifact upgrade.
- This prevents future proved startup failures. It does not release
historical accounting based on an old checkpoint, change retry budgets,
replace a model or weaken sandbox isolation.
- Zero model usage is separate from process termination, saved files and
resource release. Those owners keep their existing gates.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with tool use and code execution. This runtime does not
expose the exact backend model ID or context window to the agent.
Read-only independent agents reviewed checkpoint compatibility and
SDK/RPC error boundaries.

DottaandPaperclip 396b7fc62a fix(runner): scope session diagnostics to the active run recorder (#18944)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their work.
> - The native executor can retain a transport between runs.
> - Each run recorder has a shorter lifetime than that transport.
> - The transport kept its first recorder after warm reuse and
completion.
> - A later close could write to the wrong run or a sealed object log.
> - This change binds diagnostics to the active run epoch and retires
that binding at execution exit.
> - The existing recorder still owns accepted-byte draining and honest
incomplete finalization.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A warm native transport retained the first run's diagnostic callback.
Reusing the session for another run did not change that callback. A
later idle close could append to a retired writer and emit a persistence
warning.

**Expected behavior**

Active diagnostics belong to the current company, session and run. A
retired transport callback must not use a completed recorder. Diagnostic
metadata must not delay essential execution cleanup.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the native warm-session regression with two sequential run owners.
Close the retained transport after both runs finish. The original code
calls the first recorder. The real completion regression also observes
the resulting closed-writer warning after normal lease cleanup.

This is a local source defect with behavioral red/green proof. Repeated
hosted generic persistence warnings motivated the investigation, but
their original exceptions were not retained. This PR does not claim to
identify every such warning or repair an export failure.

Related #18379 queues sanitized performance spans in heartbeat. It does
not own transport diagnostic callback lifetime.

## What Changed

- Bind transport diagnostics to an exact active company/session/run
epoch, including warm reuse.
- Activate a retained channel in the existing session-admission hook
after identity validation and before attachment starts, including an
attachment failure before `onSession`.
- Forward active diagnostics synchronously. Detach their recorder at
execution exit. Keep the original asynchronous metadata semantics.
- Keep idle transport evidence inspectable. Log only a fixed category
and trusted company/run identifiers to the process logger.
- Preserve recorder-owned byte draining, redaction, source coverage and
genuine persistence-failure warnings.
- Cover actual native executor, completion and lease-close boundaries,
including stalled local appends and exact object-log source/hash
preservation.
- Place the retained-workspace test fixture under the existing
published-path contract after merging newer recovery tests from master.
Production validation and native/catalog assertions remain unchanged.

## Verification

- Current head: `c500e4933a85a4c453f66c872fa335108c661b15`. Normal
master merges preserve upstream behavior. The one textual conflict was
in the executor imports.
- The first GitHub run tested merge tree
`a4cb59448a3b5cc2047ac41c691720e6acec6e8d`, which included newer
recovery tests from master. Five cases failed with
`remote_workspace_published_path_invalid`. The same five failures
reproduced on an identical local tree. The fixture now puts retained
files under `.paperclip-workspaces/<workspaceId>` and keeps the target,
lease and authority bound to that path. Production validation and the
native-success/catalog-denial assertions are unchanged.
- On unchanged `c500e493`, the full recovery file passed **244/244**
tests. Existing cold-restore and occupied-root controls passed **4/4**.
Server typecheck, server production build, module boundaries and
whitespace checks passed. An intermediate missing-import setup failure
was corrected and is separate from the five-case behavioral red.
- Before that fixture correction, local `f2fdaddb` passed **1,221
tests** across the five diagnostic, executor, output, completion and
object-store files. Recursive typecheck and full repository build also
passed. Those results are tied to that earlier revision; [fresh
current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41842043248)
must qualify the final merge.
- Behavioral regressions cover the original closed-writer warning, warm
A-to-B ownership, and an actual Runner attachment exception before
`onSession`. The admission hook gives the attachment diagnostic to B and
leaves A untouched. The attachment fixture uses synthetic event
persistence and outer failure projection; it does not certify a real
database terminal projection.
- The tests preserve synchronous diagnostic admission and asynchronous
metadata recording. A stalled append reaches the existing bounded
finalization result with unknown size/hash. The normal object-log
control preserves canonical bytes, SHA256 and complete source coverage
after lease cleanup.
- An initial local run had **37 PostgreSQL startup failures** because
the Darwin package lacked aliases to its included versioned libraries.
Only isolated `node_modules` aliases were restored. No source or
lockfile changed for this setup issue. A passing intermediate run
crossed a source merge and is excluded from immutable-head proof.
- An earlier combined test run passed 1,216 assertions but exited with a
completion `afterAll` timeout. Its cause remains unproved. Later
isolated 60/60 passes used the original timeout and do not erase that
failure. An earlier repository-wide `pnpm test:run` was interrupted
after its source became obsolete; it is not full-suite or current-head
proof.

Greptile reviewed the exact `c500e493` head at **5/5** with no open
findings. Fresh CI must pass before merge. The native review is queued
behind its separate saved-file recovery; no current-head native
assessment is claimed.

The provider execution loop is a fixture. These tests do not start a
model or prove hosted recovery. Missing accounting receipts remain
pending, not zero cost. Checkout-release invocation is observed; this is
not a separate task-arbiter journey. The original native review
published a valid finding before a separate workspace-export failure.
The finding is fixed; this PR does not claim to fix that export failure
or every hosted persistence warning.

## Risks

Idle process logs intentionally omit raw provider text. The existing
bounded transport evidence retains its own diagnostics. Accepted fs
appends that do not settle retain the existing unknown-size/hash warning
and cannot be certified complete. No new timeout, storage policy, schema
or provider execution is added.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through Codex assisted with diagnosis,
implementation, tests and review. The exact context-window size is not
exposed. Tool use and code execution were enabled.

DottaandPaperclip b891e69bd2 fix(native): correct unread wake comments before completion (#18937)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native agents report completion through a server-owned tool
boundary.
> - A truncated external-chat request requires a complete run-bound
comment read.
> - The terminal guard checks that receipt after the provider ends its
turn.
> - Early completion feedback omitted the same check and could accept an
unread report.
> - The provider then lost its chance to correct the report in the same
turn.
> - This pull request returns the existing read requirement through the
completion tool before accepting the report.
> - The final guard still protects the exact source and snapshot after
provider settlement.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #16995 keeps run-scoped readers available to retained provider
threads. #18913 preserves queued comment input. This change fixes a
separate completion-feedback boundary.

**What happened?**

A native external-chat run could submit an accepted completion without
reading all server-bound comments. The terminal guard then failed the
run with `native_current_wake_comments_unread`. Early feedback also
accepted partial, changed and foreign read receipts. The agent did not
receive the required correction while it could still act in the same
turn.

**Expected behavior**

The completion tool must reject the report with a
`read_current_wake_comments` instruction and the cursor requirements. A
complete current read must permit the corrected report in the same turn.
The final snapshot check must remain effective.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a running native task with a truncated external-chat wake and
exact accepted comment IDs.
2. Call completion feedback before reading the comments, or after only a
partial or stale read.
3. Observe that the old code returns an accepted report instead of the
read correction.

## What Changed

- Check the existing run, company, task and agent binding before every
completion-feedback acceptance return.
- Reuse the authoritative current-wake reader and terminal receipt
validator.
- Share the two unchanged read-error codes from their owner across the
validator, feedback and executor classification.
- Convert only the two owned unread or changed-snapshot errors into a
bounded tool correction. Other errors still propagate.
- Keep the final validator, receipt parser, result persistence and
admission policy unchanged.
- Add real PostgreSQL regressions and an actual OpenCode MCP tool
sequence with a controlled local provider process.
- Document the early correction and final snapshot fence.

## Verification

The source checkout uses Node 24.22.2 on macOS arm64 with a fresh owned
embedded PostgreSQL database.

Final published tip: `37bfb269432f86f98cab1a58c09b5519ed9477fd`. Its
production code is commit `8c7297318c3a841fc1c72c846acfaabf58adabe9`;
the last commit adapts three existing module mocks. The expanded
affected group passes **1,284 cases** with **35 existing opt-in skips**.
The skips require captured private-runner transition fixtures and a
configured fresh database, which were not supplied. All nine real
PostgreSQL/MCP cases execute and pass. Recursive typecheck and the full
build pass for production commit `8c7297318c`; the final changed test
layer also passes.

- Untouched master `1a39dea9aa2bb9bea416439b0a574c788e88b9a0`: four
causal failures. Unread, partial, changed and foreign complete receipts
incorrectly receive accepted completion feedback. The ordinary
inline-complete control passes.
- Current source: all nine new cases pass. The actual authorized reader
returns the full accepted comment. The same running task and run remain
intact, with no replacement or accepted-result replay.
- The OpenCode native backend sends a real MCP finish rejection to the
controlled provider process. The process follows the returned reader
instruction, reads every page, and resubmits finish. One provider turn
produces one semantic result proposal. The terminal snapshot fence still
rejects a later comment edit.
- All 98 affected OpenCode driver and MCP bridge cases pass with the
fixture-mode addition.
- The first tool-sequence attempt failed on a fixture-only relative path
before starting the provider. The test now uses its module URL. This
setup failure is separate from the four causal failures.
- The first recursive typecheck found missing local workspace links in
the clone's excluded sandbox-provider directories. Existing dependency
links were copied into the isolated clone. No lockfile or source change
was made for this setup repair.
- At `c57e532a87`, all 1255 cases in the six-file affected server
family, recursive Node 24 typecheck and the full build pass. At
production commit `1ae9f54107e1762bc8222572b365a013d4572d1a`, all 1,257
affected cases, recursive Node 24 typecheck and the full build pass.
- Greptile found that the initial correction could restart a partial
read after page two. On `c57e532a87`, following that correction fails
with the actual reader cursor-order error. The follow-up continues the
caller's most recent cursor and retains the changed-snapshot restart
path. All nine new cases pass, including this regression, a
stale-partial control, the foreign receipt refusal and the actual
same-turn MCP sequence.
- [Linux server3/12
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41788671370/job/126437378334)
found five failures in the older format-feedback SQL fixture. Its flat
heartbeat row did not match the real joined projection. The same five
failures reproduced locally. The test-only follow-up returns a coherent
run/agent/task projection and keeps the real resolver and formatter
assertions. All 14 format and real-PG/MCP cases pass, and the generated
server test layer typechecks. Production code and the earlier
1,257-case/typecheck/build proof are unchanged.
- Qualification of the shared-code change found 49 failures because
whole-module mocks omitted the new exports. The three mocks now pass
through actual module exports and keep their controlled reader methods.
Literal error assertions remain independent. The final 1,284-case group
passes with the exact 35 opt-in skips described above. No production
fallback or substitute code was added.
- [One Linux Runner package
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41792315273/job/126448500037)
passed 4,913 cases and skipped 10, but its synthetic post-rename
credential durability case failed with ENOENT. The complete Runner
package tree and lockfile are identical to the [earlier Linux
control](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41790199252/job/126441739681),
where all 42 credential cases passed on Node 24.22.2. The exact case
also passes once on both base and head on macOS with Node 24.22.2. The
original failure cause remains unverified; OS/load and shared-test
timing uncertainty remain. Credential code and assertions are unchanged.
The single affected-job rerun passes, including all 42 credential tests.
The original failure remains unexplained.
- An ordinary full local test attempt was stopped before the review
repair. It has no completion summary and is INCOMPLETE. Current-head
full CI completed; no local full-suite pass is claimed. Greptile
reviewed the final published tip at 5/5 with zero open threads. All
current-tip checks pass: 54 successful check runs, one successful legacy
commit status, 3 skipped and 2 neutral, with no pending or failing
checks. Paperclip also reviewed final tip `37bfb26943` at 5/5 with no
remaining findings. Its prior 4/5 code-ownership recommendation is fixed
and resolved. No review nudge or hosted task retry was issued.

The controlled OpenCode process uses the supported v1 factory envelope
to exercise the common native feedback and MCP boundary. It does not
call a live model or qualify a provider pack. PostgreSQL, authorization,
pagination and receipt checks are real. No hosted task, model,
permission or saved result was changed. Recovery of an already accepted
historical run remains unverified.

## Risks

- Each finish call adds an exact binding query. A mandatory read also
validates the current accepted-comment snapshot through the existing
transaction. Cost grows with those exact comment IDs, bodies and
attachment metadata; it does not scan unrelated task history or add idle
polling.
- A valid read can become stale before the provider settles. The
unchanged terminal guard still rejects that race.
- Missing ownership or unexpected validation errors remain refusals.
This change does not grant replay authority or turn an accepted
historical result into fresh work.

## 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. The coordinator performed independent read-only
source review.

DottaandPaperclip d8c1b9d4b5 fix(runtime): reclaim failed remote checkpoint retries (#18877)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native recovery must preserve the original execution and provider
state.
> - A failed remote run can retain its provider PID after heartbeat
releases the task execution lock.
> - Normal resumption excludes that PID, while restart recovery rejects
the released lock.
> - Recovery must reclaim that exact execution only after current
admission and durable ownership checks pass.
> - Failed retries and admission holds need separate finite budgets.
Neither can prove a provider stopped.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A failed remote native run remains in retryable failure without a task
execution owner. Normal resumption and restart recovery both reject it
before inspecting the preserved remote provider. The current remote
workspace reference format also misses the due-retry routing path.

**Expected behavior**

A due exact-checkpoint retry reclaims its original task execution only
when current ownership and safety gates permit it. Newer task input
prevents an old claim. Lost or ambiguous provider state still prevents
replay or replacement. Ineligible recovery eventually becomes a quiet
manual reconciliation obligation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a remote native run and persist its provider checkpoint and
encrypted Runner authority.
2. Fail with exact-checkpoint recovery and a retained remote PID.
3. Release the task execution lock at heartbeat completion.
4. Run ordinary resumption and restart recovery after the retry
deadline.
5. Observe that both reject the same eligible run before remote
inspection.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced from source at `d59791828482`; integrated with upstream
`db9be4c5a6`.

**Deployment mode**

Remote workspaces with PostgreSQL. Local regressions use disposable
PostgreSQL and encrypted checkpoint persistence.

Related public repairs #18846, #18854, #18860 and #18841 cover finished
per-turn owners, pre-provider failures, unstarted follow-ups and storage
migration. They do not reclaim this failed run's released execution
lock. Merged #18879 also adds scheduled-resume lock retention and
reclaim. This PR keeps that compatibility and requires encrypted Runner
authority, canonical source ordering and a charged failed retry before
reclaim. Its scheduled-resume regression now uses a real encrypted
authority and retains a snapshot-only refusal control.

## What Changed

- Share normal admission checks and one guarded execution-binding
restore/event helper between normal and remote resumption.
- Keep agent-name normalization in a module with no imports. Preserve
heartbeat's existing export. Native admission no longer loads heartbeat
orchestration for a string key.
- Recheck company, assignment, agent eligibility, Stop, pause, approval,
dependencies, execution and checkout ownership before reclaim.
- Reject newer task input using PostgreSQL creation-time and ID
ordering, preserving timestamp precision.
- Require the recorded remote target, encrypted Runner authority, exact
checkpoint identity and existing controller fence.
- Commit task binding, controller lease, run status and recovery event
atomically. Recognize both remote workspace reference formats.
- Charge failed reattachments against the existing
three-provider-attempt budget, including retained-lock crash windows.
Active controller adoption preserves its charged attempt.
- Use the existing five-retry/30-minute system-recovery policy for
admission holds. Ended tasks and newer sources exhaust it immediately.
Preserve PID, checkpoint and task bindings, suppress resource
settlement, and assign manual reconciliation with executor stop/state
explicitly unverified.
- Register recovery intent before deadline writes; preserve live/future
deadlines quietly and roll back zero-row writes. Record changed hold
reasons once and terminal dispositions separately.
- Keep historical provider-budget exhaustion behind current
admission/source/controller/authority checks. Make an existing
orphan-cleanup fixture explicitly due.
- Include exact plugin task leases that have no workspace reference.
Reuse every reclaim and retry-budget guard, with a bounded
company/task/run lease projection.
- Share strict manual ownership proof across stale-lock cleanup,
adoption, queue release and wake admission. Require termination receipts
for every exact remote lease before normal cleanup can release either
binding.
- Preserve governing Stop through the existing audited cancellation
path. Its acknowledgement does not release an unverified provider.
Ordinary Retry can wait for exact Stop and file preservation, then queue
one continuation.

## Verification

- Current head is `5d7baf74aa89d00d7ac6e1493d38a6ce2ae7b7b5`. Its
[current CI
matrix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41782198858)
is terminal and clean: 54 successful, three skipped and two neutral
contexts. Required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e` pass. Greptile is 5/5 on
this exact head with no open findings. No fresh Paperclip 5/5 assessment
is claimed.
- The [prior complete CI
matrix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41754365388)
passed on `3e641466d3edcaa6dd5021d979627082d388eb05`, with Greptile and
Paperclip both 5/5 and no open threads.
- All 233 tests across the six affected heartbeat, restart-isolation,
remote-admission, scheduled-resume and session-binding families pass on
production-identical `a5104fa89f9cb493091e000bf21ed3858871ae46` under
Node 24.22.2 and pnpm 9.15.4. They cover both workspace formats and
plugin task leases, competing controllers, exact rollback, Stop,
assignment/company boundaries, attempts, work-intent ordering, finite
backoff and quiet held state.
- The merge preserves #18931's per-run audit-failure isolation and this
PR's unchanged-transition hold. Two initial composition cases failed
because their setup or expected result described the older contract. The
rollback test now expects the exact per-run deferral while retaining
full coordinator equality and no work intent. The routine fixture writes
a real encrypted checkpoint through the normal owner before reaching the
actual routine unique constraint. No production admission guard or
rollback assertion was weakened. A separate agent reviewed this exact
merge and fixture delta without finding a blocker.
- Full recursive `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass on production
merge `89c616fe45ceff75db450f67fd34224b4df7441d`. Subsequent commits
change only three test files. Both the two-file `a5104fa` and final
`5d7baf` server test-layer typechecks pass.
- Four production-identical `a5104fa` probes pass with the rebuilt
actual Rust Runner, a scripted ACPX subprocess and encrypted PostgreSQL
checkpoints under Node 24.22.2. Workspace-reference and plugin-lease
admission each cover surviving and lost providers. Replacement preserves
one provider launch, one original side effect, the charged attempt and
restored task execution binding. Lost providers reject snapshot recovery
without replacement. This is protocol-boundary evidence, not a live
Claude or hosted provisioning claim.
- Initial `a5104fa` CI found one additional routine integration fixture
missing the persisted `exact_checkpoint_resume` mode. Its encrypted
checkpoint was already present. The exact case fails locally before
repair and passes after recording that mode and expecting the charged
provider attempt. Every exact routine conflict, rollback, checkpoint,
task binding, successor-count and sibling-startup assertion remains.
Final head changes only that fixture. The correct native-server group
passes all nine files: 175 executed cases and 14 container-only skips,
matching the now-successful native-server CI gate.
- The earlier canonical HTTP Retry acceptance passed on the prior
reviewed head with real PostgreSQL, the recovery worker and real files.
Pending Stop protects both bindings and starts no successor. Exact
termination and copyback queue one preserved-workspace continuation. No
browser or live-model outcome is inferred from that test.
- The predecessor's full local `pnpm test:run` failed in an unchanged
Discord Gateway fixture with a 200 ms lease and a 422 initial ownership
error. Focused predecessor and untouched-base controls pass; that
full-run cause remains unproved. The required command was also started
on production-identical `a5104fa`. All six local chat shards passed,
covering 1,850 cases. The duplicate local invocation was interrupted
with SIGINT while the general-server group was still running after this
head's complete CI and the combined repair qualification had passed. The
wrapper exited 1 on cancellation, no process retained its test log, and
no full local pass is claimed. An earlier attempt to select the native
lane through the CI wrapper instead selected local package sharding:
2,631 cases passed and 13 failed. Those separate failures are retained
without causal attribution or unrelated source changes; that run is not
counted as native-server qualification. The direct native group and
current complete CI matrix pass.
- Live Claude Opus 5.5 continuation, hosted plugin provisioning,
deployment and recovery of historical tasks remain unverified. No
original task was retried or mutated for this verification.

## Risks

- Restoring a task binding grants remote inspection; it does not prove
that the provider survived.
- Unknown effects, lost providers and missing semantic results retain
their existing reconciliation requirements.
- Exhausted admission holds preserve execution bindings and resource
evidence for manual reconciliation. They do not authorize a fresh
executor or provider/resource release.
- The source guard is conservative: newer task input prevents recovery
of an older failed source.
- No database migration or provider profile change is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, code editing and
shell execution. The runtime does not expose the exact model snapshot or
context window size.

DottaandPaperclip 84aa989bf9 Preserve native sessions through legacy workspace enrollment (#18943)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native session retains its workspace and provider session across
turns.
> - An ephemeral web server must restore those files without its
predecessor's disk.
> - Legacy enrollment changes the workspace authority and can change
both workspace addresses.
> - The retained provider backup checks those addresses as part of its
identity.
> - This pull request preserves the exact addresses in a verified
migration receipt.
> - The benefit is that the next turn can use the original session after
enrollment.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18932, merged as `612d9931a6`. This pull request builds on that
all-Runner durability change. Related: #18918 fixes concurrent workspace
preservation locks. This change covers identity preservation during
offline enrollment.

## What Changed

- The native workspace migration owner records the selected session
bindings in the successful workspace migration operation.
- Runtime selection retains the original logical address only for the
exact agent, task and session.
- Remote workspace preparation restores the original provider address.
It refuses conflicting targets, forged receipts and occupied unowned
roots.
- The environment owner includes the migration operation in the reusable
lease fingerprint. Warm policy stays warm and receives a fresh
allocation through normal lease cleanup.
- Exact migration evidence permits the existing verified provider backup
to restore into that fresh warm allocation.
- Preserve verified provider allocation files through a normalized,
lease-bound digest receipt. Unknown files and altered markers remain
refused; interrupted publication is retryable.
- Retain legacy managed-instruction session fingerprints using the exact
imported content hash and recorded paths, preserving all other
configuration and credential checks.
- Migrate existing local skill archive/manifest objects through upload
claims, readback verification and receipt compare-and-swap; retain
original objects and IDs.
- Add explicit two-turn browser qualification for every released native
Daytona profile, with warm and per-turn variants. The production
maintenance entry runs offline. The old home is deleted only after a
verified export and successor readiness. The oracle checks provider
identity, native session, addresses, reference bytes, question and final
document.

## Verification

- Full repository typecheck passed at `b12ecd823e`. The production
session fix passed 198 session/credential tests. Full repository build
passed at `94bb917947`. The final Rust-only provider fix passed 57 ACPX
provider tests and the exact Linux release build.
- Workspace and transport checks passed: 117 transport/workspace tests,
six final real PostgreSQL migration boundary cases, 178 environment
tests, 539 Daytona tests (eight skips), and the native warm-backup
admission control.
- Local skill migration passed eight PostgreSQL/S3 tests (one existing
opt-in skip). Failed readback retains the source. Successful readback
still works after deletion of the old home.
- Latest Product E2E typecheck and 38 focused harness tests pass.
Earlier catalog/admission/report checks passed. Twelve unrelated
support-test failures reproduce on unchanged base `1a39dea9aa`; these
are not reported as passing.
- Live Codex per-turn at `2d5bb9a6d1` retained the native and provider
sessions, both workspace paths and exact reference bytes after deletion
of the old home. It completed the task and delivered its saved document
and original reference. Its original failure was an output-count grading
defect. The corrected grader passes all 21 checks against retained,
hashed evidence; the original result remains unchanged.
- Live OpenCode per-turn and Codex warm at harness `94bb917947` pass all
21 product checks. Their launcher cleanup failed because a read-only
diagnostic observer kept its disposable database open. The observer now
closes before ordinary database cleanup; a no-provider reproduction
confirms the fix. All owned sandboxes were independently verified
absent, child keys revoked and buckets removed. Original failed campaign
dispositions remain unchanged.
- Claude at `94bb917947` kept its sessions and reference bytes but
omitted the final clickable document link. That user-delivery failure
remains recorded. The fixture now explicitly asks for the link and
records migration evidence before checking navigation. The fresh Claude
attempt at `b12ecd823e` passed both strict migration checks: exact
provider/native session, both paths, original file bytes and
independently downloaded attachment. Its full browser workflow failed
again: it requested unnecessary confirmation, used the answer sentence
as the reference, and omitted the clickable document link. This is
retained as a failed user-workflow result, not a full pass.
- Earlier live failures exposed and reproduced the skill-object,
fresh-allocation marker and managed-instruction fingerprint bugs. The
fixes retain original identity checks. No provider session reset or
accounting bypass was used.
- The real Grok continuation at `b12ecd823e` failed before provider
execution because its immutable-instruction attach policy rejected
relocated registered file copies. A no-provider regression reproduced
the exact rejection. `b05ba3728a` selects the existing strict
authenticated asset-path policy for Grok; content digests, unknown
context fields, session/workspace identity and same-run mutations remain
enforced. The regression and all 57 ACPX provider controls pass. The
Grok browser migration now passes all 21 checks with the b05 Linux
Runner, including provider identity, exact reference bytes and final
user output; the launcher also reports successful cleanup.
- `24fabf1d81` applies the same policy to released ACPX Codex after a
second no-provider reproduction. All 58 ACPX provider controls and the
final Linux release build pass. Its live browser migration passes all 21
checks on the final binary, including exact original session/file
preservation and completed user output.
- The full native-session executor suite passes all 1,121 tests after
updating its existing lease database fixture for the migration-receipt
join. The prior CI failure was this unsupported test-double method; the
production guard still rejects ordinary unproven recovery. CI and
Greptile 5/5 passed at `ca1e0d5fe6`. The first CI attempt lost several
workers and had one rotated-recovery transport failure; its seven
descriptor cases passed locally, and the single unchanged retry passed.
The original failure remains recorded. Staging enrollment has not
started. Initial offline enrollment and subsequent rolling availability
are separate checks.

- The final review follow-up adds real runtime-selection PostgreSQL
cases for exact, different-session and absent receipts, plus
executor-level warm restoration that copies actual backup files and
verifies provider identity and the new lease stamp. Both complete
affected suites pass (1,172 tests), and full repository typecheck
passes. Removing either production migration connection independently
makes its new positive case fail; both source files were restored
byte-for-byte after these negative controls.

- Final commit `0971d373a3` passes all 63 checks (57 successes, five
expected skips, one neutral); Greptile is 5/5 and every review thread is
resolved.

## Risks

- An identity conflict blocks enrollment and keeps the original files.
It does not silently reset the session.
- A new migration generation retires a reusable lease through its
existing owner. The original sandbox must finish normal cleanup before
reuse proceeds.
- Initial enrollment has an offline step. The separate rolling suites
prove uninterrupted deploy behavior after enrollment.
- This adds no schema migration and changes no provider credentials or
accounting gate.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact serving model build and context
window are not exposed in this session. The agent used reasoning,
terminal tools, code edits, PostgreSQL/filesystem tests and isolated
live browser qualification.

DottaandPaperclip 612d9931a6 Support per-turn Runner sessions on ephemeral web servers (#18932)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The web server controls native Runner sessions in remote sandboxes.
> - An ephemeral web server must recover without its previous local
filesystem.
> - The existing admission rule accepts warm sessions. Managed Claude,
Grok, and OpenCode sessions resolve to per-turn execution.
> - Per-turn execution also needs durable provider-session bytes after
the sandbox is retired.
> - This pull request adds encrypted backup publication and removes the
warm-only admission rule.
> - Both lifecycle modes can use the existing native ownership and
checkpoint contracts during a web deployment.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #18518, #18529, #18826, #18835, #18841, #18864, #18887.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Native Runner execution on web servers with
`PAPERCLIP_EPHEMERAL_SERVER=true`.

**Current behavior**

The admission rule requires a warm Runner lifecycle. Managed provider
credentials can resolve an agent to per-turn execution, so enabling the
ephemeral deployment profile blocks those turns. A database controller
checkpoint does not preserve provider files after the old web home and
per-turn sandbox are removed.

**Proposed behavior**

Admit native execution in either resolved lifecycle. Keep provider and
credential choices unchanged. Publish encrypted provider state to shared
storage before sandbox cleanup. Restore it from a fresh web home for the
next turn. Use the existing controller lease and generation checks for
active takeover.

**Reason and benefit**

Operators can remove the web server volume without excluding per-turn
providers or forcing managed accounts into warm sessions. New native
Daytona profiles automatically enter both rolling-deployment
qualification lanes.

**Breaking changes**

The additive migration creates a backup publication ledger. Existing
volume-backed local-disk installations retain their local backup path.
S3 installations publish encrypted backups and require a stable secrets
master key. Existing-volume enrollment must import surviving session
data before detaching the volume.

## What Changed

- Admit native Runner execution independently of its warm or per-turn
lifecycle. Keep host-owned legacy execution excluded from ephemeral
deployments.
- Store private provider state as encrypted objects. Journal uploads
before I/O, read them back, and fence publication against the current
native owner. Keep the previous published backup when storage or
ownership checks fail.
- Restore exact provider bytes into a private cache. Require an exact
durable backup before sandbox cleanup. Extend the existing bounded
retention pass to retire stored objects without adding idle polling.
- Import selected legacy controller and provider state in the existing
offline maintenance process. Preserve queued work, task pointers,
pending recovery, and original files. Prefer canonical database
checkpoints.
- Preserve already-failed legacy controllers with missing original
artifact proof as encrypted archives. These archives do not become
execution authority. Successful retained sessions still require proof.
Report archival and executable imports separately.
- Verify unmanaged Grok API keys through the existing xAI account
validator. The live test exposed a readiness gap that kept remote Grok
agents paused after platform checks. Preserve failed credentials and the
separate runtime warning.
- Ingest Grok whole-prompt usage at the owning ACP boundary. Bind the
receipt to the exact outbound request/session; reject replay, conflicts,
and incomplete authority. Separate turn cost from cumulative session
cost in the sidecar schema and Rust normalization. Preserve managed
billing identity and identify direct xAI API credentials.
- Preserve published workspace directory names across cold allocations,
including destroyed-allocation cleanup. Keep unpublished epoch/lease
directories isolated and refuse to overwrite an occupied preparation.
This fixes the cold-session identity regression exposed by #18922.
- Increase bounded checkpoint-header inspection to 1 MiB. Retain the
aggregate inspection limit.
- Register all nine native Daytona profiles in per-turn and warm
rolling-deployment suites. Delete the entire departing server home,
exercise ordinary reads and writes, require active ownership transfer,
then check a later turn on another fresh server. Permit only exact
notification replay after reconnect.

Ownership stays with the existing modules: Runner validates its protocol
state; Core validates run scope and controller ownership; storage owns
object I/O; the maintenance process owns offline conversion; the E2E
wrapper owns process replacement and probes. No provider protocol is
added to the shared admission rule. Grok receipt parsing stays in its
provider module. The shared sidecar gains an explicit cost basis because
its existing price field means session-cumulative spend, while Grok
reports prompt totals. Existing consumers retain cumulative behavior
when the new field is absent.

## Verification

- Focused native admission, archive validation, publication fencing,
cleanup, readiness, legacy import, and E2E observer tests pass. Real
PostgreSQL cases verify that queued intent and historical recovery rows
stay unchanged.
- Full typecheck and build pass on the rebased branch. The review
follow-up passes server typecheck, 29 focused
PostgreSQL/archive/readiness tests, and module-boundary checks. Revision
fb8d39a7a1 reached 55 successful CI checks and Greptile 5/5 with no
unresolved threads. The Grok follow-up passes Runner/server typechecks,
238 ACP runtime/projection/usage tests, 16 sidecar-schema tests, the
Rust cost regression, and Core billing regression. The e9aae9cf revision
passed all 57 successful checks, with 5 skips and 2 neutral checks, and
exact-head Greptile 5/5. The latest 9cbec30a4f follow-up changes only
E2E catalog/admission controls; its 291 affected tests pass, all 57
check contexts succeeded (5 skips, 2 neutral), and exact-head Greptile
is 5/5 with no open review threads.
- Migration numbering and safety checks pass.
- A local real PostgreSQL/S3 roundtrip preserved 2,870,101,591 payload
bytes across 89,100 archive entries after deleting the source directory.
Restored SHA-256 matched; upload/readback took 56.5 seconds, restore
74.8 seconds, process peak RSS was 1.40 GB, and all fixture resources
were removed.
- Archives preserve contained relative links, reject link
chains/traversal, and enforce independent byte/entry/object limits.
Offline verification streams hashes. Orphaned deleted-run backups stay
on the original volume. Obsolete object retention preserves the selected
backup, live lease references, and pending uploads with owners.
- Isolated API-key Codex deployment: original active runner/session
transferred to the replacement and committed. All 567 reads, 57 writes,
and 57 readbacks succeeded. A second replacement completed a
same-session continuation with all 287 reads and 29 writes succeeding.
The strict cell failed two agent-authored shell commands; this result is
retained as failed.
- Isolated API-key Claude deployment: original active runner/session
transferred and committed. All 584 reads, 59 writes, and 59 readbacks
succeeded. A second replacement completed a same-provider-session
continuation, with 211 reads and 22 writes succeeding. The strict cell
failed an initial completion call that omitted a registered attachment
citation; the agent corrected it. This result is retained as failed.
- Isolated API-key OpenCode deployment: the same active runner/session
transferred and committed. All 481 reads, 49 writes, and 49 readbacks
succeeded. A second replacement retained the provider session and
completed useful work, with 156 reads and 16 writes succeeding. The
strict cell failed agent tool calls: a denied external-directory write,
malformed artifact hashes, and a second completion after the first
result was committed. There was one submitted/completed turn and one
committed result; reconnect notification replay was identical. This
result is retained as failed.
- Grok's real first turn now completes with settled usage and provider
cost ($0.41397); the next turn is admitted normally. That attempt then
exposed a shared workspace-path identity regression before deployment.
Three cold-restore cases reproduced it before the fix; 106
workspace/transport tests and four focused cold-restore cases pass
afterward, including destroyed allocation and occupied-directory
preservation. Server typecheck and build pass. At b5b0dbb03f both
controller switches passed the read/write probe without failure, and the
active runner retained its process while the controller generation
advanced. The third turn exposed an invalid reasoning-token subset
check; ad07e681ba fixes it with the actual receipt regression. Two later
live attempts failed with an upstream Grok rate limit before deployment.
A tiny preflight prompt succeeded before the second attempt, but the
full workload was still rate-limited. The final live gate remains
incomplete. No accounting or identity guard was bypassed. Earlier failed
attempts and their exact resource-cleanup receipts remain recorded.
- Earlier Codex/Claude/OpenCode receipts predate #18922; they establish
their tested revisions. Current-head live qualification remains pending;
#18943 separately preserves pre-enrollment logical/provider workspace
addresses and adds actual legacy migration proof. Its first Codex
migration attempt stopped safely at skill-version verification.
- Earlier attempts remain recorded: missing local provider-pack setup
blocked one Claude launch, and the observer rejected identical reconnect
replay in another. Setup and the observer were corrected before the
latest run.
- Named staging enrollment has not started. Its serving revision and
post-deployment journeys remain separate delivery gates.

- Broader E2E harness validation exposed deployment-catalog and
installed-lane coverage drift; the affected 291 controls now pass.
Twelve other failures reproduce on unchanged base 1a39dea9aa. They
concern cleanup call expectations, dated operating-overhead fixtures, a
Pi profile-version expectation and workflow-security expectations. No
baseline failure is reported as passing.

## Risks

- Provider archives can contain credentials. Objects use authenticated
encryption with scoped associated data and a wrapped data key. The
original stable master key remains required.
- Storage failure prevents publication and sandbox cleanup. Operators
must keep shared storage available and preserve the previous volume
during enrollment.
- Legacy state without verified identity cannot become executable
recovery authority. Archival preserves evidence and existing failures;
it does not recover already-lost provider files or clear blocked tasks.
- Local overlap probes establish the tested application behavior. They
do not establish Railway routing behavior or live managed-subscription
qualification.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, code execution,
and live integration tests. The exact runtime variant and context-window
size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip e2dc2cc0be fix(native): retire idle shared-sandbox ingress owners before dispatch (#18893)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their tasks.
> - Native tasks can share one reusable sandbox workspace.
> - A completed child can keep its provider process warm.
> - A parent has its own logical session, but the sandbox has one
ingress listener.
> - Retirement by task identity leaves the child's listener in place.
> - A new parent Runner then fails to bind that listener.
> - This pull request retires a proven idle physical owner before the
parent's distinct session starts.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15353 and #17097 for listener configuration and warm transport
rotation. Refs #18682 for owned process retirement. #18860 repairs a
different resume-source failure. Searches found no existing repair for
retained warm sessions on different tasks that share the same physical
ingress allocation.

**What happened?**

A completed child and a later parent can use the same reusable sandbox.
Warm-session retirement compares logical task ownership. It does not
find the child's distinct task scope. The child keeps the fixed ingress
listener, and the parent's new process fails with
`runner_ingress_bind_conflict` / address already in use.

**Expected behavior**

A parent must start in its own logical session after the proven idle
prior listener closes. Active, foreign or unverified owners must remain
protected.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the `retires the completed child listener` cases in
`native-session-executor.test.ts`. The actual executor registers a warm
child. PostgreSQL holds its committed, accounted result and clean
expired lease. A distinct parent receives the same allocation and
current workspace writer. The provider boundary uses real TCP listeners.
The original executor reaches the second bind with the child still
listening and fails with EADDRINUSE. The changed executor waits for the
owned close, then starts the distinct parent session.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on ab2d2098a2. The branch
includes current master 44a4ca1c61 before this PR was opened.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with provider ingress on a reusable sandbox workspace.
Local regression uses real PostgreSQL and local TCP with a controlled
provider-process boundary. No hosted provider call was made.

## What Changed

- Keep physical ingress identity separate from logical task/session
ownership. Never attach the parent to the child's session.
- Reserve a physical allocation during local admission. Retire a
distinct warm owner only after canonical company, agent, workspace,
provider, allocation, lease, task and coordinator checks pass.
- Require the current remote workspace writer and location to match the
admitted run. Require the prior run to be committed and accounted, with
its original controller generation and a clean released or expired
lease.
- Use the existing close, checkpoint and stopped-file collection path.
Wait for close before parent dispatch, then recheck canonical authority
before staging files or calling the parent backend. Retain the entry
when close is uncertain.
- Add actual executor/PostgreSQL/TCP safety cases and document the
contract. Keep maps unchanged for this bug fix.

## Verification

- Untouched production at ab2d2098: actual executor + PostgreSQL + TCP
fails EADDRINUSE. Same positive case passes after the change.
- Final focused suite: 20 passed. It covers distinct parent session
identity; foreign company, allocation and workspace; active or
unaccounted owner; changed controller; reassignment; competing
lease/writer; stale allocation metadata; Stop before and after claim;
workspace-lock race; failed close that leaves the listener and accepted
result intact; and controller transfer, Stop or writer change during
awaited close. These last cases reject the stale parent before backend
invocation after the old listener closes.
- Untouched head3425acbe: transferring the incoming coordinator during
close still reaches the parent backend. The same actual
executor/PostgreSQL/TCP case passes after the post-close authority
check.
- Broader `native warm session supervision` suite: 160 passed. This run
preceded the final two-line logical-session collision guard; the final
20-case suite includes that guard.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`: all source and test
layers passed, including `src/__tests__`.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server build`: production server and
Runner build passed at current head572acfef79. The exact-head build
stamp is recorded.
- The provider/close boundary is controlled. The fixture seeds canonical
committed/accounted finalization data in PostgreSQL. These tests do not
claim a live model result, operator ACK, hosted PID-to-listener
identity, or recovery of a historical task.
- Full repository pnpm checks were not run locally for this server-only
slice. Required current-head CI and reviews are pending.

## Risks

The new retirement path can close a process from another task. It
requires the same canonical company, agent, allocation and workspace, a
current exclusive writer, and a completed idle owner. Missing or changed
evidence leaves admission blocked. Active owners, changed generations,
reassignment and cancellation remain fenced. A failed close retains the
owner and saved result.

This covers current-controller warm entries with recorded physical
identity. Historical processes outside the registry keep the existing
exact-owner recovery requirements. No port shuffle, port kill, task
capability expansion, new polling loop or invented receipt is added.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`) in Codex, with source editing,
terminal execution and tool use. The host did not report its
context-window size.

Nicky LeachandClaude 8fd917aedf fix(native): accept late provider notices in recovery (#18890)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner sessions keep a provider conversation across task
turns.
> - When a later run gets a new task lease, recovery must prove that the
prior run settled.
> - Recovery required `run.terminal` to be the last committed event.
> - A provider can send a late notification for a settled turn. The
Runner then records a `provider.notice.recorded` warning after
`run.terminal`.
> - This false denial stranded a clean session. The notice stays in the
journal, so each later run on that session meets the same denial.
> - This pull request lets recovery accept a recoverable notice after
the terminal event. All other new events still block recovery.
> - The benefit is that a late warning no longer ends session
continuity. A denial now also names the check that failed.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No issue exists. I searched open and closed pull requests and issues for
the error code, the event name and the function name. I found no
duplicate.

**What happened?**

A run failed in about nine seconds with `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
plugin_checkpoint_recovery_unproven`. No provider work started. The
prior run had finished and was committed as succeeded. Its journal had
one `provider.notice.recorded` warning, "ignored a notification for a
settled Codex turn", 1 ms after `run.terminal`. A second session had the
same warning about 61 seconds after a normally completed turn.

**Expected behavior**

Recovery accepts the session and continues the provider conversation. A
recoverable notice does not start work, so it must not block recovery.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a warm native session in a plugin sandbox environment.
2. Finish a run so that a provider notice follows `run.terminal` in the
journal.
3. Wait until the idle timeout stops the Runner task and releases the
lease.
4. Start the next run on that session. It gets a new task lease.
5. The run fails with the error above. The notice stays in the journal,
so a retry on the same session meets the same denial.

The `local-receipt-late-notice` test mode in
`native-session-executor.test.ts` reproduces this failure on the unfixed
code.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on `d8a9b3eb0c`. The same check is on `master` before this
change.

**Deployment mode**

Cloud deployment, with a native Runner in a plugin sandbox environment.

## What Changed

- `isSettledRemoteWarmControlState` accepts a `provider.notice.recorded`
event after the terminal event. The notice must be recoverable and have
`info` or `warning` severity. It must come from the same runner, run,
session and lease.
- Error notices, unrecoverable notices, notices from another source and
new work still block recovery.
- Checkpoint recovery and local quiescent recovery now use this
function. They no longer have separate checks that require
`run.terminal` to be the last event.
- Each checkpoint recovery denial adds a specific reason after the
existing code, for example `plugin_checkpoint_recovery_unproven:
journal_not_settled`. The `runner_state_identity_mismatch: ` prefix does
not change.
- I reworded the existing comment on `isSettledRemoteWarmControlState`
so that it stays correct. I added no new code comments.

## Verification

- **Failure before the fix:** I added the tests first and ran them on
the unfixed code. 38 tests failed. In the 4 `local-receipt-late-notice`
cases, checkpoint recovery rejected with
`runner_state_identity_mismatch`. In the `late provider notice` case,
quiescent recovery rejected with `quarantine_owner_unverified`. The new
unit test for notices also failed. The other 32 failures were assertions
for the new denial reasons.
- **Targeted tests after the fix:** 134 tests passed, with 987 skipped
by the filter.
- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/remote-warm-session-recovery.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "settled
remote warm control evidence|recovers a blocked|automatically recovers
only a proven settled local session"`
- **Type error found in review:** Vitest does not check types, and my
first version passed these tests. Review of the diff showed an
incompatible `identity` parameter type. I changed that type to
`Record<string, unknown>`.
- **After the type change:** `remote-warm-session-recovery.test.ts`
passed (23 tests) and `pnpm run typecheck` in `server` passed. I did not
run the 134 tests again, because this change affected only types.
- **Real data, read-only:** I ran the new function on 285 session
journals from a test deployment. The result changed for 2 journals.
These are the 2 stranded sessions, and each has only provider notices
after `run.terminal`.
- **Not run locally:** I did not run the full test suite. I stopped a
run of the wider native-runtime test files before it reported a result.
CI provides the full regression coverage.
- **Not verified:** no live run has reached `read_state` on a stranded
session after this fix. The tests use a fixture for that call.

## Risks

- **Stricter identity check:** checkpoint and quiescent recovery now
also require the journal's saved identity to match. Recovery reads this
identity from the same file, so only damaged state should fail this
check.
- **Wider goal snapshot rule:** these two paths now accept idle goal
snapshots after the terminal event. Warm handoff already used this rule.
- **Wider notice rule:** warm handoff and the settled projection check
also accept recoverable notices now. A notice does not start work, and
the checks for pending commands and unanswered tool input stay in place.
- **Longer error text:** code that compares the full
`plugin_checkpoint_recovery_unproven` message for equality would stop
matching. I found no other reference to this code in the repository.
- **Stranded sessions:** these sessions need no data repair. They can
still fail with `checkpoint_not_settled` if the sandbox checkpoint is
not clean.
- **Migrations:** this change has no migration.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 4e29f00139 fix(native): keep settled ACPX sessions across Runner upgrades and run scheduled resumes (#18879)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner keeps one ACPX provider conversation across the
per-turn runs of a task. Each run cold-attaches the session that the
previous run settled.
> - The saved ACPX state binds the digest of the launch profile that
wrote it. Every deploy ships a new provider pack, so that digest
changes.
> - After a deploy, the next run of such a task fails `run.attach` with
`ACPX durable launch profile digest does not match runner startup`.
Every same-run retry fails the same way.
> - On one instance this happened seven times. Six tasks used their
retry budget and ended blocked, or in progress with no runner. In the
seventh, the scheduled same-run resume never ran at all: the task stayed
`in_progress` with nothing running, and its monitor did not fire.
> - This pull request re-binds a settled session to the upgraded launch
profile, types the remaining mismatches so the server stops retrying
them, and makes a scheduled remote resume survive the stale-lock sweep.
> - The benefit is that a task continues its conversation after a
deploy. When it cannot, it stops with a clear next action instead of
stalling.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18846, #18847, #18854 and #18860 (nearby native recovery changes).
Refs #15795, an open change to the same stale-lock sweep function. It
changes run teardown, not lock cleanup, so a second merge needs at most
a small rebase.

**What happened?**

A per-turn native task used provider `acpx` with Claude, driver
`acpx_runtime`, on a remote sandbox.

1. Run A succeeded and settled its provider session. The next run with
the same build cold-attached it.
2. The instance deployed a new build.
3. A board approval woke run B in a fresh sandbox. Run B failed after
about five minutes: `native_session_recovery_failed: Error: PRP command
run.attach failed: {...
"result":{"code":"command_execution_failed","message":"ACPX durable
launch profile digest does not match runner startup"}}`.
4. The coordinator recorded `retryable_failure`, attempt 1,
`native_session_interrupted`, recovery mode `exact_checkpoint_resume`,
recovery state `resuming_session`, and a retry 30 seconds later.
5. Two seconds after the failure, the stale-lock sweep cleared the
task's execution and checkout locks, because run B was `failed`.
6. Forty minutes later the attempt was still 1. The scheduled monitor
had not fired. The task stayed `in_progress` with nothing running.

**Expected behavior**

A session that the previous run settled continues after a deploy. If it
cannot continue, the run stops at once with a clear next action. A
scheduled resume either runs or fails visibly.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Save a suspended ACPX session under one launch profile.
2. Change the sidecar bytes and the provider-pack authority at the same
paths.
3. Cold-attach the next run in a new runner. Restore fails with the
digest mismatch.
4. For the stall: leave a remote native run `failed` with a due
`retryable_failure` coordinator, run the stale-lock sweep, then run
restart recovery for that run. It returns `blocked:
issue_execution_lock_changed` and writes nothing.

The new Rust and PostgreSQL tests run these steps.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `b0c4e345267`.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner, per-turn lifecycle, remote sandbox. The re-bind applies
to every ACPX agent with an ordinary startup.

## What Changed

### Root causes

- **Upgrade failure.** `AcpxLaunchProfile::canonical_digest` hashes the
provider-pack authority, the sidecar command and arguments, each
artifact path and SHA-256, and any candidate admission. For a remote
sandbox the authority is the provider-pack manifest digest, which covers
the Runner source revision and dist digest. So every deploy changes it.
`AcpxDurableState` stores only the digest, and `validate()` rejects any
difference. Only a Kimi candidate run binding had a carve-out.
- **Silent stall.** The failure write keeps the task locks for
`retryable_failure` and clears them only for `terminal_failure`. The
stale-lock sweep treats any `failed` run as cleanable, so it cleared
them. A remote retry goes through `claimNativeRestartRecoveries`. That
claim requires `issues.execution_run_id` to name the run, so it returned
`blocked: issue_execution_lock_changed` with no coordinator write and no
deadline. The live recovery queue then dropped the entry. The local
claim (`claimNativeSessionResumptions`) already reclaims a free lock, so
only remote runs stalled.
- **Monitor.** `noActiveNativeMonitorRun` holds a task's monitor while
any native run for it has a coordinator that is not `committed` or
`terminal_failure`. Run B's `retryable_failure` held it. That is by
design; it ends when the resume runs.

### Runner (Rust)

- `rebinds_settled_session` in `acpx_provider_backend.rs`. Restore
re-binds a saved session to the current launch profile only when all of
these are true:
- The lifecycle is `suspended` and an identity exists. There is no
active turn, pending runtime request, undelivered provider event, or
unconfirmed provider exit.
  - The startup has no candidate admission.
- The saved descriptor's sidecar command and arguments equal this
startup's.
- Any other digest mismatch keeps failing with the same message, plus
`classification: "provider_state_incompatible"` in the durable command
result. `DurableRunnerError` carries an optional closed classification
for this.
- A saved descriptor that names an agent release this build does not
qualify (ACPX version, agent server package or version, or command
digest) also gets the class. `validate_session()` and its message are
unchanged; restore only adds the class.

### Runner (TypeScript)

- `runnerRecoveryFailureClass` reads the classification from the
authenticated `runnerCommandResult`. The Codex app-server driver (which
also drives ACPX through runnerd) and `HarnessDriverBackend` pass it on
as `failureClass`.
- If replacement after a failed resume is not allowed,
`executeNativeSession` throws `NativeProviderStateIncompatibleError`
(message unchanged: `native_session_recovery_failed: ...`). If
replacement is allowed, the existing path opens a fresh session in the
same run, as before.

### Server

- `nativeSessionFailureSourceCode` maps that error class to
`native_provider_state_incompatible` with `instanceof`, not text. The
disposition is permanent: `terminal_failure` at once, the task blocks,
and the board owns the recovery action. Its next action says that a
Retry continues in a fresh provider session with the same workspace.
- `findNativeSessionResumeRun` also returns the barrier's `errorCode`.
`rebindNativeSessionCheckpoint` does not resume a source with
`native_provider_state_incompatible`. The existing fallback in
`buildNativeExecutionWithCheckpoint` then starts a fresh normalized
session with the full task bootstrap.
- `sweepStaleIssueLocks` keeps both locks while a referenced run's
coordinator owns a result-less `retryable_failure`, unless the task is
done or cancelled. Its update also requires that no referenced run has a
live status at the write, because a resume claim can return the run to
running after the status read.
- `claimNativeRestartRecoveries` reclaims a free execution lock for a
`retryable_failure` resume, like the local claim does, when the checkout
lock is free or held by this run and no other run for the task is
queued, running or scheduled. It records
`native.recovery.execution_reclaimed`. A lock held by another run still
blocks.
- Docs: `packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md` and
`doc/execution-semantics.md`.

### Safety argument for the re-bind

What the binding protects, and what this change keeps:

- **Candidate admission** carries company, model, platform and expiry
authority. A candidate startup never re-binds. The Kimi run-binding
carve-out and all candidate rejections are unchanged.
- **The agent that loads the conversation** stays exact. `validate()`
runs on the saved descriptor before the digest check and requires this
build's qualified agent profile: ACPX version, agent server package and
version, and `commandDigest`. The saved identity must still match that
profile and the provider mode.
- **In-flight provider work** is never re-bound. A turn, runtime
request, undelivered event or unconfirmed exit keeps the strict binding,
so no old provider process or request continues under a new build. The
next launch only loads a settled conversation.
- **Launch shape.** A changed sidecar command path or arguments still
rejects. Only the content at the same paths may change.
- **Artifacts** are not trusted from the saved state. The current
profile comes from the trusted controller at startup, and session start
verifies every artifact's bytes and the restored provider identity, as
before.

What changes: a new provider-pack authority, or new sidecar or Node
bytes, at the same paths no longer invalidates a settled conversation.
The saved digest cannot show which part changed, so the rule does not
depend on it. I did not add state fields to tell authority changes from
artifact changes, because the rule would treat both the same.

One existing assertion changes.
`released_kimi_cold_restore_rejects_candidate_injection_and_changed_full_profile`
expected a settled ordinary Kimi session to reject a changed authority,
artifact digest, or saved digest. Those three cases moved to a new
positive test. Command, arguments, every candidate grant field, a
missing profile and run binding still reject.

### How a task in the reported state recovers after this deploys

The task has old-digest saved state, a `retryable_failure` coordinator
at attempt 1, and cleared locks.

1. Startup recovery, and the live recovery queue, run restart recovery
for the due run. It reclaims the free execution lock and claims the run.
The resume runs now.
2. Run B's failed `run.attach` is a durable outcome of B's exact run
authority. If the resume replays that outcome instead of executing it
again, it fails with the old, untyped text. The remaining attempts then
fail the same way, and the run ends `terminal_failure` with
`native_session_retry_exhausted`. The task blocks with a board recovery
action. This takes about a minute.
3. If the task blocks, press **Retry** once. Retry selects run B as the
source (it has process identity and controller evidence, so the #18860
skip does not apply) and rebinds B's checkpoint, which holds A's
provider session. The new run cold-attaches under the new Runner, and
restore re-binds the old digest because the session is suspended and
quiescent. The conversation continues. Run B's failed attach never wrote
the state file, so the state is still A's settled state.
4. Tasks that already exhausted their retries (blocked, or in progress
after `native_session_retry_exhausted`) need the same single Retry.
Their earlier attempts ran under the old Runner.

Wait for the task to show blocked before pressing Retry. A Retry pressed
while the resume is running joins that run.

## Verification

- Rust, failing first:
`settled_session_rebinds_to_the_upgraded_runner_launch_profile` failed
on `master` with the production message.
`unsettled_or_relocated_session_keeps_the_strict_launch_binding` failed
on the missing classification. Both pass now.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --no-fail-fast`: all 41 test
binaries pass. The library has 471 passed and 1 ignored.
- `cargo fmt --check`, and `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner
typecheck` (TypeScript, generated contracts, `cargo check`): pass.
- Server, failing first: `native-scheduled-resume-lock.test.ts`
(PostgreSQL). On `master` the sweep cleared the locks and restart
recovery returned `issue_execution_lock_changed`. Both negative controls
(another run's lock, a queued run) already passed. All four tests pass
now.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`: pass.
- Runner vitest (`src/native-session-runtime.test.ts`, `src/backends`,
`src/drivers/codex`, `src/drivers/provider-failure.test.ts`,
`src/live/runnerd-codex-transport*.test.ts`,
`src/control-plane/acpx-controller-recovery.test.ts`): 31 files, 1,011
tests pass. New: the typed error when same-session recovery is required,
and the recovery class reader and pass-through.
- Server vitest: the native executor, status corpus and provider-pack
admission suites (1,268 tests) pass. New: the classifier makes the typed
error permanent, and the same text stays retryable. Checkpoint selection
returns `errorCode`, and an incompatible source starts a fresh session
with the same workspace (unit and PostgreSQL).
- Server vitest over the recovery area: stale-lock sweep, native
resumption, process recovery, failed-workspace recovery, restart
recovery (integration, diskless, preparation), controller recovery,
startup retry, startup cleanup, recovered-owner follow-up, session
resume, runtime selection and recovery deadlines. 926 passed. Four
`heartbeat-process-recovery` tests failed in that loaded run. Three pass
when I run them alone. `redacts opaque environment-bound credentials
from Sentry diagnostics: result` fails the same way on unmodified
`master` on this host (a local environment value is redacted).
- Review round 1: a new sweep test returns the run to running before the
clear. It cleared the locks without the write recheck and keeps them
with it. The strict Rust restore test covers an older agent server
release and an older ACPX release. The ACPX backend and durable runner
unit tests, the lock, sweep, resume projection and controller recovery
suites, `cargo fmt --check` and the server typecheck pass. In the second
full cargo run, the two `stdio_mcp` relay tests timed out waiting 5 s
for a child exit on this loaded host. They do not use the changed code
and passed in the first full run.
- After the rebase onto the current `master`: the new lock test,
failed-workspace recovery, stale-lock sweep and session resume suites
pass (189 tests). Server typecheck, `pnpm check:module-boundaries` and
`git diff --check` pass.
- CI on `929ef4508d2`: in the first run, `isolated-repository-rehome`
hit its 15 s test timeout, `idle-completed-history` could not reach its
fixture runtime service, and e2e shard 3 was cancelled by a runner
shutdown. A rerun of the failed jobs passed. All 55 checks pass.
- Not verified: a live remote sandbox deploy, and whether run B's
same-run resume replays its recorded `run.attach` failure or executes it
again. The Retry path is tested at source selection and checkpoint
rebind (server) and at cold attach (Runner). It is not tested end to end
through a sandbox.

## Risks

- A settled session now continues under new sidecar bytes. If a sidecar
change made an old ACPX record unreadable, session start fails as any
failed resume does. It does not corrupt state, and the run follows its
normal recovery policy.
- The sweep now keeps locks for a failed native run with a scheduled
resume. If that resume can never be claimed (for example the agent stays
paused), the task keeps the lock until the coordinator settles or the
task closes. Before, the sweep cleared it, and the resume still never
ran.
- If another run holds the task's lock, a scheduled remote resume still
stays blocked and the coordinator stays `retryable_failure`. This change
does not settle that case. It needs a separate decision about
superseding the resume.
- `native_provider_state_incompatible` is a new failure code. No UI or
migration change is needed. Older servers never see it.
- No schema migration.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) through Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, file edits, test runs). The runtime does not expose the context
window or reasoning configuration.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 909d86b59a fix(native): retry runs that fail before provider work (#18854)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs start the provider through Runner. `session.open` starts
the provider session before any prompt.
> - When `session.open` fails, the server records the generic
`native_session_interrupted`. Recovery evidence then reports
`ambiguous_state`, so the first failure blocks the task with no
automatic retry.
> - The failure is often temporary. On one instance an agent's provider
account hit its usage limit. For about 14 hours every later run failed
at `session.open`, and 47 tasks stayed blocked. Outside limit windows,
the same error also occurs once and a later retry succeeds.
> - The server already has a bounded same-run bootstrap retry for
failures that are proven to come before provider work. It did not
recognize this failure, and it did not consider a known provider limit.
> - This pull request classifies a definite `session.open` failure as a
pre-session failure. Bootstrap retries back off and wait out a known
provider limit. The task is blocked only after the shared budget is
used, with a clear reason.
> - The benefit is that a temporary startup failure or a provider limit
no longer strands tasks on the first failure, and every existing replay
guard stays in force.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18847. That pull request keeps the provider cause on
`session.open` rejections and names typed categories (for example
`classification=provider_rate_limit`). This change does not depend on
it. With #18847, a typed limit at `session.open` uses the same cooldown
path, because the server reads the cause with
`providerFailureFromError`. Refs #18622, which added the
`ProviderFailure` cause. Refs #13993, an open change about legacy
adapter startup backoff; it does not touch the native recovery path.

**What happened?**

A native run (`paperclip_runner`) failed at `session.open` before any
prompt: `ACPX sidecar command session.open was rejected
(retryable=false, classification=session_ensure_failed)`. The server
recorded `native_session_interrupted`. Recovery evidence had no
checkpoint and no provider event, but the cause was not in the
pre-session list, so the mode was `ambiguous_state`. The coordinator
went to `terminal_failure`, a board-owned `active_run_watchdog` action
was created, and the task was set to `blocked` on the first failure.
During a provider usage limit, every later run of the agent failed the
same way, so each task was blocked.

**Expected behavior**

A run that provably failed before provider work retries automatically,
with backoff and a bounded budget. If the agent has a known provider
limit, the retry waits for the cooldown. The task is blocked only when
the budget is used, and the recovery action explains why. A run where
provider work may have started is never replayed.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Make Runner reject `session.open` for a native run (for example a
provider at its usage limit).
2. Observe the coordinator: `terminal_failure`, `recoveryMode:
"ambiguous_state"`, `providerSessionEstablished: false`. The task is
`blocked`.
3. The new `native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts` reproduces this
with a real database and the executor.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `5877d751c0e`.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with an ACPX Claude provider. The fix is in the server and
is not specific to one deployment mode.

## What Changed

- `nativeSessionFailureSourceCode` returns a new cause,
`provider_session_open_rejected`, when Runner reports that
`session.open` failed or was rejected. Those outcomes are definite, and
the command runs before any prompt. An `indeterminate` outcome stays
`native_session_interrupted`. Earlier, more specific causes (for example
a missing runtime package) keep their classification.
- `nativeProviderRecoveryEvidence` treats the new cause as pre-session.
The durable evidence still decides. A bootstrap retry happens only with
no provider session, no provider event and no checkpoint. Otherwise the
mode stays `ambiguous_state` and the task is blocked as before.
- New module `native-runtime/native-startup-retry.ts` plans each
bootstrap retry. It is called only for `bootstrap_retry` mode.
- Backoff: the existing `infrastructureRetryDelayMs` (about 30 s, then
about 60 s, plus or minus 20 %). The jitter derives from the run and
attempt, and it is persisted with `nextAttemptAt`.
- Limit cooldown: evidence is a `rate_limit` or `quota_exhausted`
provider failure on the current failure (the #18847 shape), or on an
agent run that started in the last 24 hours. A
`native_provider_usage_limit` or `provider_quota` error code also
counts. The cooldown is the provider's `retryAt` (or `retryNotBefore`),
or one hour after the failure when no reset time is known. A later
successful run of the agent clears older evidence. The cooldown is
capped at 24 hours. The retry runs after the cooldown plus the backoff
delay.
- A failed evidence read is logged and falls back to plain backoff, so
it cannot stop the failure from settling.
- The budget does not change: three provider attempts, shared with
checkpoint resumes and replacements. When it is used, the coordinator
records `native_session_retry_exhausted`. The task is blocked, and the
board-owned action says: "Provider startup failed on 3 attempts before
any provider work began. Automatic retries are stopped." When a limit is
known, the message includes the expected reset time.
- While a retry waits, the coordinator detail, the recovery action
evidence and the scheduled wake record `providerCooldownAt`. The next
action names the reset time, and the task projection shows "Retry
scheduled".
- `PROVIDER_LIMIT_DEFAULT_COOLDOWN_MS` (one hour) moves to
`system-recovery-state.ts`. The legacy provider-quota recovery default
now refers to it. The value does not change.
- A chat retry of an exhausted `provider_session_open_rejected` run is
accepted like the other pre-provider causes. The existing proofs still
apply.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the backoff, the cooldown and
the exhausted state.

## Verification

- Red: before the fix, the first new integration case failed. The
coordinator was `terminal_failure` with `recoveryMode:
"ambiguous_state"`, `originalFailureCode: "native_session_interrupted"`
and `providerSessionEstablished: false`, and the task was `blocked`.
Four more cases failed the same way. The two never-retry cases passed
before and after the fix.
- Green: `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts` in
`server` (embedded PostgreSQL, the real executor, and the real resume
claim). 8 cases pass:
- a rejected `session.open` is retried with backoff (attempt 1 in 24 to
36 s, attempt 2 in 48 to 72 s), and the task stays `in_progress` with an
agent-owned action and a `resume_native_run` wake;
- after three attempts the task is blocked, the action is board-owned
with the clear reason, and the resume claim refuses another attempt;
- a recent limit failure holds the retry until one hour after that
failure, and the claim refuses it before the cooldown;
- a provider reset time from an earlier run, or from the startup failure
itself, sets the cooldown;
  - a distant reset time holds the retry for at most one day;
- a later success, another agent's limit, and an expired limit do not
delay the retry;
- a durable provider event, or an indeterminate `session.open` outcome,
still blocks the task with `ambiguous_state` and no retry.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts`: all 1,087 tests pass, including a
new classification case for `failed`, `rejected`, `indeterminate` and a
different command.
- `chat-channels.integration.test.ts -t "requires terminal-safe native
ownership for an exact chat retry"`: 23 pass, including the new
`session_open` case. That case fails without the list change.
- Related suites pass: native session resumption, native provider
failure, capacity and overload integration tests, provider failure
classification, native status arbiter corpus, native restart recovery.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server` passes. `git diff --check` passes.
- [GitHub
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41713988964)
is green on head `32561aa335d`. This includes `ci / verify`, `ci / e2e`,
typecheck, build, all server, chat and workspace groups, all serialized
server suites, and all Runner checks, which run the native-runtime
server tests. In the first attempt, eleven jobs stopped because their
runners received a shutdown signal; no test reported a failure. A rerun
of those jobs passed.
- A local run of the whole `server/src/services/native-runtime`
directory was stopped before completion because it runs serially for a
long time. CI ran those files.
- Runtime dependency: the new work is one indexed query (`company_id`,
`agent_id`, `started_at`) with `LIMIT 20`. It runs only when a bootstrap
retry is planned or exhausted, not on the normal path. No new timer or
polling: the wait uses the existing persisted `nextAttemptAt` deadline
and the existing resume dispatch.
- Not verified: a live provider account at its usage limit, and a live
remote sandbox that waits through a full cooldown. The full repository
suite was not run locally; CI ran it.

## Risks

- A task that waits for a cooldown stays `in_progress` with its
execution lock, for up to one day. This is the existing same-run retry
state. Stop, reassignment, pause and an explicit Retry keep their
current behavior through the existing claim checks.
- During the wait the failed run keeps its environment lease in the same
way as any same-run retry. A remote lease with an unexported prepared
workspace is retained by the orphaned-lease sweep until the retry runs.
Other active leases of the failed run are released after the usual five
minutes, and the retry acquires a new one.
- A `rate_limit` failure without a reset time (for example a short HTTP
429) delays only startup-failure retries of that agent, by up to one
hour. Normal runs are not delayed, and a later success clears the
evidence.
- A startup failure that needs user action (for example a sign-in
failure) now uses two automatic retries, about 90 seconds in total,
before the task is blocked. Before, it was blocked at once with an
ambiguous reason.
- The agent's other queued runs are not held during a cooldown. Each one
fails at `session.open` without provider work and then waits for the
same cooldown. An agent-wide admission hold has no clean extension point
in the current queue, so it is not part of this change.
- Re-arming consumed scheduled monitors is out of scope. This change
makes it matter less: a run that consumed a monitor wake now retries
itself on the same run. A monitor that a run consumed before its retry
budget was used stays consumed.
- No schema or API change. The new error code appears on runs and in run
error codes.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 80c308f872 fix(runner): admit follow-ups after recovered per-turn owners (#18846)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner sessions keep one conversation across task turns.
> - After a per-turn sandbox turn, the controller saves a Runner
suspension receipt or a failover backup.
> - A full sandbox disk can stop that save after the turn is complete.
> - Recovery then commits the result, but the controller has no proof
that the Runner suspended.
> - Each follow-up rebuilds the old controller journal from the database
and rejects it again.
> - This pull request lets admission retire that old authority when the
prior owner is provably finished.
> - The benefit is that the task continues with its saved workspace and
does not stay blocked.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18705 (checkpoint save on a full sandbox disk). Refs #18829,
#18718 and #18343 (related admission and controller recovery). Refs
#18811 (a related warm continuation wait).

**What happened?**

A per-turn native run in a remote sandbox finished its turn. The
post-turn `harness_state.backup.persist` and
`session.checkpoint.persist` steps failed because the sandbox disk was
full. The controller got no Runner suspension receipt and no failover
backup. Workspace recovery later saved the files. The run committed its
result and ended as `succeeded`. A board comment then started a
follow-up in a new sandbox. Admission failed after about two minutes
with `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`. Execution recovery then
blocked the task.

The cause is in durable-root admission.
`restorePerTurnRunnerdController` rebuilds the prior controller journal
from the database checkpoint. `verifyPriorRunnerdStateForSessionScope`
finds a terminal owner in the same scope with no suspended lifecycle and
no retained warm owner. It returns `terminal_state_indeterminate`.
Admission quarantines the root and fails. The database checkpoint does
not change, so every later admission rebuilds the same journal and fails
again.

A board Retry after that failed follow-up does not repeat the same
error. Runtime selection picks the failed follow-up as the resume
source, because it carries an inherited provider checkpoint. Controller
recovery then fails with
`native_controller_recovery_unsupported:metadata_format`. The task stays
blocked. This pull request prevents that failed follow-up. It does not
change source selection (see Risks).

**Expected behavior**

When the prior owner is provably finished, the follow-up must start. It
must keep the saved workspace. It must not start while the prior owner
can still be alive, while terminal delivery or provider cleanup is
unsettled, or while quarantine holds evidence from a different owner.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Complete a per-turn remote sandbox run. Commit its result through
recovery and release its controller lease.
2. Keep its database controller checkpoint and recovery pointer. Do not
save a suspension receipt or a failover backup.
3. Admit a follow-up in a new sandbox with no local controller
projection.
4. Admission rebuilds the old journal, quarantines it, and fails with
the error above.
5. Admit the same run again. It rebuilds the journal and fails the same
way.

The new regression test runs these steps against PostgreSQL.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `e0276e0166`.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with a per-turn lifecycle, the built-in remote sandbox
transport, and the ACPX provider. The admission path is the same for
other per-turn sandbox providers.

## What Changed

- Add `retireFinishedPerTurnRunnerdOwner` to durable-root admission in
`native-session-executor.ts`. It runs only when the existing verifier
returns `terminal_state_indeterminate`, and only without a restart claim
or a retained warm owner.
- The function requires all of these. Otherwise the existing quarantine
and rejection apply.
- Per-turn lifecycle on the built-in remote sandbox transport, with a
`created` or `replacement` sandbox. A resumed sandbox, a warm session,
and a plugin task keep their existing paths.
- No local Runner lifecycle evidence for the old owner. The session root
contains only known authority entries.
- A journal for that owner with its terminal delivered and only idle
goal snapshots after it. All commands are completed. Each tool input has
a completed result. No warm transition or staged attachment exists.
- A terminal prior run in the same task. Its coordinator is `committed`
with a result, has no lease owner, and has no recovery state.
- A stopped prior controller, from `evaluateNativeControllerTakeover`
with `requireStoppedController`. A durable controller is fenced by its
released database lease, as in remote warm recovery.
- Each quarantined root for the scope passes the same journal and local
Runner evidence checks for the same owner. A retry rebuilds only the
database journal, so quarantined Runner evidence must stay decisive.
- When the proof holds, the function reads the journal again, moves the
old authority into `continuity-breaks/<time>-<uuid>` in the session
root, and logs one line. The follow-up then starts a new Runner
authority. The provider session follows the existing resume-or-replace
policy.
- Share the list of continuity archive entries with provider replacement
(`archiveContinuityState`). Provider replacement behavior does not
change.
- Add `native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`. It uses real
PostgreSQL, a real encrypted controller checkpoint, and the production
source selector and checkpoint rebinder.
- Document the rule in `doc/execution-semantics.md` and the test in
`doc/testing-native-remote-continuity.md`.

### Design choice

I considered two approaches:

1. Start a new Runner authority for the scope at admission (this pull
request).
2. Make the recovery path that committed the prior run also settle its
Runner and controller projection.

I chose the first approach for these reasons:

- The provider history stayed in the unreachable sandbox. A settled
projection cannot make it resumable. Admission would pass, but a
replacement sandbox would then fail on the missing backup, and a new
sandbox would only try to resume a session that is gone.
- A settled receipt written by recovery would claim a suspension that
the Runner never wrote. Other checks rely on that receipt as Runner
evidence.
- Several paths can commit a result. Only runs that commit after a
settle-at-commit fix would benefit. The admission fix also unblocks
tasks that were committed before it.
- Admission already owns this decision. It already has the scope claim,
the journal, and the database rows.

### Safety argument

- **No live prior owner.** The coordinator has no lease owner, and the
controller must be proven stopped. The follow-up runs in a different
sandbox than the old Runner. A resumed sandbox keeps the existing path,
which reads the old Runner's own lifecycle there.
- **No unsettled terminal delivery or effects.** The controller
acknowledged the terminal and completed every command, including the
suspend command. Every tool input has an answer, and the coordinator
committed the result. The unreadable Runner outbox can then hold only
post-terminal telemetry.
- **No unsettled cleanup.** Any local Runner receipt, including an
unsuspended one, keeps the hold. A coordinator recovery state keeps the
hold.
- **No ambiguous quarantine.** A quarantined root from a different owner
keeps the hold. A quarantined root with Runner lifecycle evidence,
unknown entries, or an unsettled journal also keeps the hold.
- **No lost evidence.** The move keeps the old authority in the session
root. Existing retention expires it like other continuity breaks. A
journal change during the database reads cancels the move.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`: 12
tests pass.
- Before the change, the four admission tests failed with the exact
error above. This includes a re-admission that rebuilt the journal from
the database and failed again.
- After the change, `created` and `replacement` sandboxes are admitted.
A re-admission is admitted. A task with an earlier quarantined copy of
the same owner is admitted.
- Eight controls keep the hold: uncommitted result, live controller
lease, unexpired controller lease, recovery state, pending command,
unanswered tool input, a different owner in quarantine, and an
unsuspended Runner receipt in quarantine after a retry rebuilds the
root.
- I disabled each new guard in turn. Each change made its matching
control fail.
- An exploratory run of the same fixture before the change answered the
Retry question above. The second follow-up selected the failed follow-up
as its source and failed with
`native_controller_recovery_unsupported:metadata_format`.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts`: all 1,087
tests pass.
- Related suites pass: `task-workspace-binding`,
`native-controller-recovery` (unit and integration),
`native-harness-backup-expiration`, `native-session-resume`, and the
restart and diskless integration suites. Their container and Runner
binary cases skip locally.
- `node scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`, `pnpm
check:module-boundaries`, and `git diff --check` pass.
- CI passes at `879bb6a5c7`. Two attempts lost jobs when CI runners
received a shutdown signal; the third attempt passed every job.
- I did not run the full `pnpm test:run`, `pnpm build`, or the opt-in
Linux Runner container cases locally. CI runs them.
- I did not test a live sandbox provider or a live model. I could not
inspect the original checkpoint contents. If a stranded run's journal
does not show a delivered terminal and completed commands, its follow-up
stays held.

## Risks

- A follow-up after this path cannot use the lost provider history. The
provider session then follows the existing resume-or-replace policy, and
the task context comes from Paperclip. A checkpoint that requires the
same session, such as an unfinished goal, still fails at provider
recovery.
- Post-terminal Runner telemetry in the lost outbox, such as a late
usage report, stays lost. It cannot carry a workspace effect.
- A task that already has a failed follow-up from this error can still
be blocked on a board Retry. Source selection picks that failed run and
fails with `native_controller_recovery_unsupported:metadata_format`.
This pull request does not change source selection. A same-run retry of
the failed follow-up is admitted.
- The change is limited to per-turn runs on the built-in sandbox
transport. Warm sessions, plugin tasks, resumed sandboxes, and restart
recovery do not change.
- No migration or configuration change is required.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (model ID `claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code,
with extended thinking, repository tools, shell and code execution, and
local test runs. The runtime does not expose the context window size.

DottaandPaperclip e491b23eb5 fix(runner): retire sandbox suspension receipts after admission (#18829)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Native Runner sessions preserve a conversation across task turns.
> - Remote suspension records a local receipt for the stopped Runner
identity.
> - The built-in sandbox path now writes the same receipt as plugin
tasks.
> - Admission cleared that receipt only for plugin tasks.
> - A later warm turn could reject a clean journal because the old
receipt named an earlier run.
> - This pull request clears the receipt after successful admission for
both sandbox paths.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18343 and #18554 for the shared suspension receipt producer. Refs
#18718 for the related controller projection refresh.

**What happened?**

After a suspended built-in sandbox session resumed, its next warm turn
could fail with `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`. Its journal named the
completed resumed run. Its local suspension receipt still named the
older run.

**Expected behavior**

Successful admission must retire the prior suspension receipt. The next
compatible warm turn must reuse the admitted session and provider
history once. A failed admission must retain recovery evidence.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Complete and suspend remote turn A.
2. Resume turn B through the built-in sandbox transport.
3. Keep the controller warm, with full Runner state owned by the
sandbox.
4. Admit turn C. The old local receipt conflicts with B's journal
identity.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced in the executor regression on base `367f29478d`.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with the built-in remote sandbox transport and a warm
lifecycle.

## What Changed

- Clear the local suspension receipt after a remote sandbox session
passes provider recovery and durable admission. Apply this to built-in
runners and plugin tasks.
- Extend the existing three-turn warm admission regression to cover a
suspended receipt and remote-only Runner state.
- Keep an active-owner control that rejects admission and retains its
receipt. Keep the existing foreign-owner, retirement, configuration,
plugin, and unchanged-session controls.
- Add a real Linux Runner continuity case that suspends A, resumes B,
and keeps B warm for C. Register the test fixture's owned local API
listener.
- Document receipt ownership and the new continuity case.

## Verification

- The new behavioral regression failed before the production change.
Turn C raised the exact identity mismatch above. The active-owner
control passed and retained its receipt.
- All 1,087 native executor tests pass after the fix.
- Both opt-in Linux process cases pass at the final commit: ordinary
warm reuse and suspension followed by warm reuse. They use PostgreSQL,
TLS, current-source Rust binaries, and a deterministic Codex fixture.
Each preserves one conversation, starts exactly three turns, and reuses
the warm Runner and provider on turn C.
- Full repository typecheck passes with `node
scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`. Full production build passes with
`pnpm build`.
- All current-head CI checks pass at `a95a6fdfe8`, including the full
test shards, browser shards, Rust checks, build, and typecheck. The
policy job needed one retry after repository checkout timed out before
checks ran.
- Greptile and Ponytail each give 5/5 at the final head. There are no
open review threads or findings.
- The local full `pnpm test:run` attempt passed 351 cases in its first
chat shard. The session interruption stopped it during the second shard,
so it has no complete local verdict. The complete CI test run passes.
- Module boundary checks and `git diff --check` pass.

## Risks

- A receipt removed before admission could discard recovery evidence.
Removal stays in the successful `onSession` callback. The negative
admission control checks retention.
- A stale owner must not gain authority. Journal, run, lease, and scope
checks remain in place before the callback.
- Historical contradictory or quarantined state still requires the
existing verified recovery path. This change does not delete those
records.
- No migration or provider configuration change is required.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The runtime does not expose a more
specific model ID or context limit. Used reasoning, repository tools,
code execution, and tests.

DottaandPaperclip 27d35314be feat: connect experimental Cursor Cloud to native Runner (#18069)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents at work.
> - Native Runner owns execution and task authority.
> - Operators need an explicit native Cursor Cloud choice.
> - Tools/files need company, task, session and run scope.
> - This connects setup and lifecycle to Runner Core.
> - Legacy agents retain their selected runtime/history.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Depends on #18068. Managed-only API placement and API-owned Stop
containment are in #18310. Refs #5664, #11803, #17299, and #17471. No
duplicate native integration was found.

## What Changed

- Add explicit native setup, Test, saved settings and dispatch with
no-prompt account/catalog/callback checks.
- Scope MCP to company, agent, task, session and run through
authenticated HTTPS. Register verified artifacts/work products; preserve
unpriced accounting, completion and budgets.
- Connect Question/Plan continuation, cold handoff and admitted fresh
sessions; recheck waiting admission under the task lock.
- Present audited Stop intent while preserving physical containment
proof; bound typed Stop metadata. Preserve title edits through
preference/navigation readiness.
- Select one live/history representation per run to prevent duplicate
settled cards. Integrate upstream task/read-state/retry/schema contracts
and repair two test fixtures.

## Verification

Core #18068 merged normally as `3910352c923a`. Product head
`5a60f541c982` has passing repository CI/build/browser checks, including
required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`, plus a fresh exact-head Greptile
5/5 review with zero unresolved threads. Two non-required external app
checks remain pending: Paperclip Review is queued waiting for its
assigned agent; Superagent Security Scan is reviewing the diff. These
are not claimed completed. The normal merge endpoint enforces the
repository rules; no policy or status override is used. The dependent
Top PR is addressing its fresh deferred-Stop review finding.

Product `5a60f541c982` passed 270 UI and 20 selected
Cloud/native/disk-full tests, UI/server typechecks, tokens and maps.
Top’s clean normal merge passed tokens/maps/diff checks; its matrix is
pending. Earlier receipts retain Core’s 47 Rust, 4 compiled-native
retirement and 19 settlement controls, normal Runner build, and runtime
9af build/recursive typecheck. Reproduced loading/shutdown CI fixture
failures passed 7/7 browser and 121/121 unit tests, including a
broken-unsubscribe negative control. No timeout/oracle was relaxed.

The actual-parent restack adopts 75 mainline paths, including
schema/permission and generic runtime changes, beyond the prior two
fixture repairs and client projection fix. The full difference from
hosted `9af1a5de42a2` is therefore larger than four files; backend
source also differs. The merged config-read checks match Core391, and
the Cursor placement/runtime/relay/selection modules match frozen9af;
selected affected regressions pass. Paid proof keeps its actual 9af
source/image identity. The separately tested live/history card fix is
not claimed deployed on that host.

On 9af, original saved settings survived reopening and fresh no-prompt
Test authenticated catalog/model/binding; no new Save is claimed. Fresh
Linux admission passed. With `claude-sonnet-4-5`, Artifact downloaded
exact 27 bytes and matched 121 canonical identities in complete
S3-served history. First Stop’s strict quiet FAILED on a 10.373-second
gap despite independent cancellation/no late artifact. One targeted
unchanged-sampler retry retained all 24 samples: 35.076 seconds quiet /
maximum gap 4.584 seconds, 67 ordered canonical identities, and separate
CANCELLED/artifact-absent status after the original 180-second deadline.
The pre-reload duplicate settled card is disclosed. Exact-ID cleanup for
the three new provider agents is awaiting authorization, so full grades
and the fresh Artifact’s post-cleanup download remain blocked. A
historical deleted-provider artifact was newly downloaded on 9af;
original F226 Question/Plan/reconnect and cleanup proof keep their
identities.

Retained failures: stale fixture 132/133; E8 48/135 with 87 reset-hook
failures; Mac 17 SQL failures/skips; earlier
title/startup/custody/Stop/deletion failures with unknown causes/bounded
recoveries; `dea023` Stop’s warning/50 duplicate identities; pre-repair
ACK and original Core CI failures. WSP’s 251-assertion, 7/8-suite
attempt failed physical PostgreSQL teardown; the unchanged wrapper rerun
passed 128. Retry alone establishes no cause or full local-suite pass.
All paid attempts remain recorded; vendor dollar cost is UNKNOWN.

## Risks

Experimental: Cursor independently acknowledges neither the effective
model nor instruction digest before the first prompt. Explicit values
are submitted and checked through behavior; unpriced provider dollar
cost stays UNKNOWN.

Callbacks need authenticated reachable HTTPS. Scope, revocation,
budgets, completion and cleanup remain authoritative. Operator Stop
intent is separate from physical containment. Saved legacy agents retain
their selected runtime. Prior shared title-save/deletion failures remain
disclosed.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, assisted with reasoning, repository tools,
code execution, browser verification, and delegated code review. The
serving model’s exact API ID and context window are not exposed. No
value is inferred from the model catalog.

DottaandPaperclip 3910352c92 feat(runner): add experimental Cursor Cloud provider (#18068)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Runner gives each provider durable execution, tool, and completion
contracts.
> - Cursor Cloud currently has a direct adapter outside that native
contract.
> - Cloud work needs exact ownership across HTTP, SSE, Stop, and
recovery.
> - This PR adds a qualified Cloud API driver and verified proxy to
Runner.
> - Product setup and hosted placement remain separate dependent
changes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #5664, #11803, #17299, and #17471. Product integration is #18069.
Managed-only API placement is #18310. The related direct-adapter
model/transcript work is not replaced. No duplicate native Cursor Cloud
integration was found.

## What Changed

- Add native `cursor_cloud` / `cursor_cloud_api` with explicit
model/repository validation, bounded HTTP/SSE, durable per-turn
checkpoints and a qualified Node proxy launched through the Rust facade.
- Commit terminal custody before publication/release; coalesce
consumers, preserve ambiguous create/Stop/recovery fences, reject late
tools, and distinguish definitely-unsent oversized requests from
ambiguous responses.
- Support scoped cold attachment, current authority, reconnect and
verified artifact staging. Keep unsupported warm/external and Windows
paths closed.
- Preserve early source cursors and verify immutable legacy prefixes
before suffix replay, including supported compaction/masking. Optional
proof publication failure falls back to complete cold verification.
- Preserve canonical records at the durable native producer with
JSON-safe privacy and the existing 8MiB bound; drain admitted successor
flushes. Reconcile upstream semantic/pack/schema/lifecycle changes and
retain S3 and legacy CLI checks.

## Verification

Core head `37c442ec8dd4`: all 66 check contexts are terminal
successful/neutral/skipped, including required `ci / verify` and `ci /
e2e`; fresh exact-head Greptile is 5/5 with zero unresolved threads.
Dependent Product `81e828d20a77` and Top `dd2959689627` include the
later client handoff correction and are running their own fresh gates.

Core: 47/47 Rust, 4/4 compiled-native retirement, 19/19 settlement and
normal Runner build passed. Runtime Top `9af1a5de42a2`: build and
recursive typecheck passed. Earlier source-scoped evidence includes 398
focused tests, five relay tests and token/type gates. The 251-assertion,
7/8-suite run failed physical PostgreSQL teardown; the unchanged stable
WSP suite passed 128 through the documented wrapper.

The downstream fixture corrections passed 7/7 browser and 121/121
startup tests without timeout/oracle relaxation; a broken-unsubscribe
control fails. Hosted runtime `9af1a5de42a2` has a passing normal build
and recursive typecheck. Latest dependent heads additionally contain a
pure client fix for stale live/history overlap, with 48 focused tests,
UI typecheck and token gates passing. Its new client is not deployed in
the frozen hosted image; server/native/API/provider source is unchanged
by these four downstream files.

Fresh hosted Linux admission on `9af1a5de42a2` retired its owned
runner/proxy/socket with zero prompts. The saved configuration survived
reopening, and Test authenticated the bound key/catalog/selected model
without a prompt. Artifact with `claude-sonnet-4-5` completed,
downloaded the exact 27 bytes, matched 121 canonical identities against
complete logs and independently reached FINISHED. The active Stop retry
was clicked within its immutable boundary, produced one canonical
interrupted turn and acknowledged run-only cancellation, retained a
valid 35.076s quiet window (maximum gap 4.584s), and independently
remained CANCELLED/artifact-absent beyond the original 180-second
command deadline. All provider-observer credential callbacks, DB clients
and loaders closed; accounting is settled and explicitly unpriced. The
first fresh Stop retains its failed 10.373s sampling gap and every
sample.

On the upgraded9af server, the historical F226 artifact was reopened and
downloaded with its exact original hash after its provider agent had
been deleted/GET404 earlier today. Historical F226 full Artifact/Stop
cleanup, Question, corrected Plan and reconnect retain their original
identities. Deleting the three newly created disposable provider agents
and the new-case post-delete grade remain blocked on explicit user
approval after automatic review rejected expanding the two original
approved IDs. No new-case cleanup or complete fresh matrix pass is
claimed; this is separate from the directly observed task/Stop behavior
and retained exact cleanup proof.

Retained failures: stale fixture 132/133; E8 48/135 with 87 reset-hook
failures; Mac 17 SQL failures/skips; earlier startup-title, title-save,
custody/Stop and deletion failures with unknown causes and bounded
recoveries. `dea023` Artifact passed 17 checks but Stop failed its false
warning and 50 duplicate log identities. Pre-repair ACK failure and
original Core CI failure remain recorded; retry alone establishes no
cause or full local-suite pass. Provider dollar cost stays UNKNOWN.

## Risks

Experimental: Cursor independently acknowledges neither the effective
model nor instruction digest before the first prompt. The caller’s
explicit values are submitted and behavior checked live. Unpriced
provider dollar cost stays UNKNOWN.

Only qualified per-turn controllers are admitted. Uncertain work and
incomplete cleanup stay fenced. Existing damaged/duplicate archives
remain failed evidence. Prefix proof adds bounded object-store I/O; the
8MiB producer bound does not guarantee future providers’ output fits.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, assisted with reasoning, repository tools,
code execution, browser verification, and delegated code review. The
serving model’s exact API ID and context window are not exposed. No
value is inferred from the model catalog.

17e8bd7735 fix(runner): save native checkpoints when the sandbox disk is full (#18705)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs on a remote sandbox save two things after each turn: the
provider checkpoint and the workspace export
> - An agent can fill the sandbox disk during its own work, for example
with a package install
> - The turn still finishes, but both saves need free sandbox disk, so
they fail and the task becomes blocked with no clear reason
> - This pull request makes the checkpoint work on a full disk and makes
a full disk visible in the export failure
> - The benefit is fewer stranded checkpoints, and an operator sees at
once why an export failed

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #18715 added the shared-principal response-recovery control
synchronized below. #18644 reduced the scratch disk that the workspace
capture uses. #18172 added the disk-free streaming fallback to the
Daytona directory sync-out. Both were deployed when this failure
occurred. Neither changes the checkpoint copy, and neither can help when
the disk has no free space.

**What happened?**

A native agent ran a package install for a large monorepo in a 10 GB
Daytona sandbox. `df` in the run showed `10G 10G 4.6M 100%`. The agent
committed its work and reported `done`. Then:

1. The provider checkpoint made a filtered copy of the provider
directory inside the sandbox (`tar -cf archive; tar -xf archive -C
snapshot`) to apply its exclusions. On the full disk, tar failed. The
run recorded `runner_remote_checkpoint_snapshot_failed` without the
reason, and the partial copy stayed on the disk.
2. Workspace finalization failed three times, and file preservation
failed six times. The capture builds its archive inside the sandbox, so
each attempt failed. Every failure was recorded as
`remote_workspace_operation_failed` / `export_interrupted`, so nothing
named the full disk.
3. The task went to `blocked`. The only copy of the commit was in the
retained sandbox.

**Expected behavior**

The checkpoint does not need free sandbox disk when the provider can
stream. A workspace export that cannot fit says that the sandbox disk is
full.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a native agent with a provider whose checkpoint has exclusions
(for example ACPX) in a small remote sandbox.
2. In the turn, fill the sandbox disk (for example `pnpm install` of a
large repository, or `fallocate` of the free space) and finish the task.
3. The checkpoint fails with `runner_remote_checkpoint_snapshot_failed`,
and every workspace export attempt fails with a generic code.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on `410b0e27015`. This change is based on `5955dd4eb4c`.

## What Changed

- Synchronize the shared-principal response-recovery regression with its
saved comments and empty final deadline. Cover an in-flight discovery
invalidation. Keep every authority lock, exact publication, error, and
no-retry assertion. This changes test synchronization only.

- `syncRemoteRunnerDirectoryOut`: when the in-sandbox checkpoint copy
fails with a full-disk tar diagnostic, remove the partial copy and pass
the exclusions to the provider sync-out (`exclude` on the directory
mapping). The Daytona sync-out streams the directory without sandbox
disk when it cannot write its archive. Other copy failures and timeouts
still throw `runner_remote_checkpoint_snapshot_failed`. They now also
remove the partial copy.
- `remote-workspace-transport.ts`: the helper install and the capture
scripts report `remote_workspace_sandbox_disk_full: ...` when Node
reports `ENOSPC` or `EDQUOT`, or a Git or tar child reports "No space
left on device". `command()` passes only that exact message through,
like the existing unfinished-Git-operation message.
- `native-workspace-finalizer.ts`: a remote save that fails with that
message adds it to the failed operation's stderr. The failure code, the
retry budget, and the recovery flow do not change.

## Verification

- Current-head infrastructure interruption: the [Build
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41637668555/job/125923826158)
completed the actual build and production bundle boot, then the runner
received a shutdown signal during the clean public Grok npm-install
check. GitHub marked that step cancelled. The exact host-stop cause was
not retained. One bounded rerun of only the failed Build and dependent
`ci / verify` jobs passed on the unchanged head. [Build attempt
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41637668555/job/125931400745)
completed successfully, including the clean Grok npm-install check. No
product code, assertion or workflow changed for this interruption.

- CI failure retained: commit `6c5937fcae` failed [chat shard
1/3](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41634638570/job/125913957217)
because the shared-principal fixture saw zero saved comments after
`worker.ready` and zero active work. The other chat child passed. The
exact case passed once locally and then 30 times on the same Node
24.22.2 version as CI; those passes alone do not explain the CI
interleaving.
- Controlled RED/GREEN: invalidate the real database discovery once
while its read is in flight. The worker correctly retains a future
reconstruction deadline, but the old initial-pass/active-count barrier
reproduces the same zero-versus-one comment assertion. Waiting for both
saved comments and final `active=0`/`nextWakeAt=null` passes. Six
real-PostgreSQL controls pass on final commit `a60e5629e8`, including
endpoint independence, source revocation, and external lock
failure/recovery. No sleep, timeout increase, weakened assertion, or
product scheduling/authorization change was added.
- A local server typecheck first lacked the checkout's built Runner
declarations. After the declared Runner TypeScript build, the server
typecheck passes on `a60e5629e8`. Final-head remote verification is
complete: 54 successful checks, 3 expected skips, no failures or pending
checks, and successful `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e` aggregates. Greptile
is 5/5 on this exact commit with no unresolved review threads.

- Merge preparation: rebased onto master `b22ef22d56` and kept both
test-import additions. Added the checkpoint fallback and
capacity-failure contract to `doc/execution-semantics.md`. On rebased
commit `6c5937fcae`, 47 focused checkpoint, transport, finalization and
retained warm-projection tests passed across three files. The name
filter skipped 1,040 unrelated cases. Map and whitespace checks passed.
The final-head CI and Greptile results are recorded above.

- `npx vitest run
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-finalizer.test.ts
server/src/services/remote-workspace-snapshot-archive.test.ts` passes
(1,152 tests).
- `npx vitest run server/src/services/remote-workspace-transport.test.ts
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-finalizer-failure.test.ts`
passes (30 tests).
- New tests:
- Checkpoint, with real files: a full-disk snapshot leaves a partial
copy. The provider then gets the exclusions, the session files are kept,
the package caches are left out, and the partial copy is removed.
- Checkpoint: a permission failure and a timeout still fail, remove the
partial copy, and do not call the sync-out.
- Transport: the real capture scripts run with an `ENOSPC` preload, for
the helper install and for the archive write. Both report the full-disk
message and leave no partial attempt. A message with extra text still
collapses to `remote_workspace_operation_failed`.
- Finalizer: the operation stderr names the full disk and keeps
`workspace_sync_out_failed`. Other failures keep the bare code.
- With the source change removed, the 3 checkpoint cases and the 2
transport ENOSPC cases fail.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` is clean.
- Suites that refer to the changed error codes
(`explicit-native-continuation`, `native-recovery-notice-work`,
`native-run-finalizer-telemetry`, `native-workspace-export-retry`,
`remote-workspaces.integration`) pass. In `chat-channels.integration`, 2
cases fail locally on unmodified `master` too (a bundled skill path
outside the checkout, and a chat run timing assertion). They are not
related to this change.
- Manual recovery of the observed task: the retained sandbox was resumed
with free space, file preservation was requested again, and the saved
workspace contained the agent's commit.

## Risks

- The fallback runs only after the snapshot fails with a full-disk
diagnostic. The normal path does not change.
- Provider exclusions are not anchored to the directory root. In the
fallback, a nested entry that has an excluded name (for example a nested
`tmp` or `config.toml` in a Codex home) is also left out. The fallback
never copies more than the snapshot, so credentials stay out of the
checkpoint.
- The fallback depends on the provider honoring `exclude`, which the
sync protocol requires. The Daytona and Kubernetes providers honor it.
- A workspace export on a full disk still fails. This change only names
the cause. A full fix needs one of these: free-space reserve for the
export, removal of re-creatable caches before the export, or a capture
that streams its archive. Each of these changes behavior, so this pull
request does not include one.
- No migration.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, assisted with merge preparation, conflict
resolution, documentation, test synchronization and verification. The
harness does not expose the exact serving model ID or context-window
size.

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, in Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits, test runs). It did the root-cause analysis
from run events, tool output, and sandbox inspection, wrote the code and
tests, and ran local verification.

DottaandPaperclip b22ef22d56 fix(runner): show provider failure details on tasks and runs (#18622)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner starts providers and records their run outcomes.
> - Provider failures can contain useful details below a generic
protocol error.
> - Those details were lost at the sidecar, command receipt, and run
projection boundaries.
> - A blocked task therefore showed a generic failure even when the
provider gave a clear reason.
> - This pull request carries a bounded, sanitized provider failure
through those boundaries.
> - Operators can read the actual cause on the task and run pages.
Existing recovery policy still controls retries.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17543 for the related closed JSON-RPC classification work. Refs
#17272 for provider recovery in the legacy OpenCode adapter. This change
adds display evidence for native Runner providers and keeps recovery
policy separate.

**What happened?**

A native Claude session returned an HTTP 429 message below an ACP
`Internal error`. The task and run showed only a generic startup
failure. Operators had to inspect the provider response to learn that
the account was rate limited.

**Expected behavior**

The task and run show the sanitized provider message, provider name,
startup or turn phase, and available HTTP status. Unknown categories
keep the message. Display evidence does not grant a retry or replace a
recovery decision.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native Claude run whose account is rate limited during model
selection, or return a structured provider failure from a Codex or
OpenCode turn.
2. Let the run fail and open its task page.
3. Before this change, the page shows a generic failure. With this
change, the page shows the provider explanation. The run page shows the
same explanation after reload.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Source checkout based on `f8a888a072`.

## What Changed

- Add one JSON Schema for `ProviderFailure` and generate matching Runner
and shared TypeScript readers. Keep the Runner package independent of
the app workspace at runtime.
- Normalize known ACPX, Codex, and OpenCode error fields. Preserve
unknown messages. Redact known credential values and credential patterns
before applying the 4,000-character limit. Do not copy response bodies,
headers, stacks, or prompts.
- Carry startup failures through the sidecar, Rust Runner, durable
command receipts, and private transport error details. Keep provider
text out of generic transport error strings and Sentry failure messages.
- Keep turn failures in authenticated run events. Recover the same
evidence from persisted events during server finalization. Store the
cause in the company-scoped run result.
- Show one shared notice on failed tasks and run details. Keep existing
retry permissions, scheduled retry state, and resolved-task behavior.
- Reapply registered run-secret and current-user redaction to task
display data. Batch secret lookups for only the visible provider causes.
- Document the contract and update the capability maps. Add regressions
for nested Claude 429 errors, OpenAI quota and rate limits, OpenCode
errors, redaction, durable receipt replay, restart finalization, and UI
rendering.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed. `pnpm build` passed. All GitHub Actions
build, test, package, and validation jobs passed on `d49c79ab4a`. The
security checks passed. Greptile gave this head 5/5 with no open review
threads. Paperclip Review remains pending. Its review worker exhausted
six workspace recovery attempts with export_interrupted. A fresh review
request was accepted and is waiting for that saved workspace. The
ordinary Retry action rejected reuse of the stopped request. This is an
external review-worker blocker; no check was overridden. The duplicate
local `pnpm test:run` was stopped after the CI test shards passed.
- Focused server settlement, provider evidence, and restart tests: 93
passed. Runner admission and normalization tests: 103 passed. Focused
Runner wire and terminal tests: 29 passed. The real Rust/sidecar command
receipt replay test passed.
- The new projection test failed before implementation because the task
had no provider cause. The startup producer regression also failed
before extraction moved ahead of the generic error-code replacement.
Both pass with this change.
- Live check: a rebuilt local sidecar received an actual Claude HTTP 429
during startup. The new cause kept the full provider message. A
synthetic task in an isolated local app then reached the same provider
error through the native Runner path. The dedicated run result, task
API, task banner, and run detail all showed the same message after
reload. The later reporting fix keeps run.error generic; a regression
proves the display cause still survives restart and stays out of Sentry
capture.
- The first isolated app attempt failed earlier in
`admission_credential`. An ordinary manual Retry reached the provider
and produced the 429 above. This PR does not claim to fix that separate
admission failure. An initial parallel local database test setup also
failed; the serial restart suite passed.
- Security review found that copying display text into run.error could
forward it to Sentry. A regression failed with that behavior. The fix
keeps the cause in its display field. All 38 settlement/restart tests
and the server typecheck pass.
- All 29 protocol contract tests pass, including bounds and extra-field
rejection. An earlier full Rust core run passed. The later full run hit
one 5-second receipt-limit timing assertion; its isolated rerun passed.
The full Linux and Windows Rust CI jobs passed on this head.
- Review regressions pass for explicit Codex driver identity, native
Rust startup and resume receipt propagation, oversized OpenCode/ACPX
errors, task read-time registered-secret redaction, and the standalone
source closure. The focused Runner run passed 103 tests;
projection/restart tests passed 16.
- Read-time redaction edge cases passed: a missing decryption key omits
only the unsafe optional explanation; expanded redacted messages remain
visible within the Unicode character limit. All 14 task projection tests
and server typecheck pass.
- The package Build check found an old Pi assertion against
Error.message. The probe now checks the exact closed classification in
the authenticated receipt and requires the new provider cause. Both
polling transport cases pass. A local credential-free Pi probe stopped
at admission_installation because this checkout lacks the Pi
distribution; the installed Linux package probe passed in CI on this
head.
- UI coverage includes startup and turn text, unknown categories,
literal rendering of provider text, read-only retry behavior, and
resolved-task suppression. Token gates and map checks passed.
- The live check covers Claude startup on macOS. Codex, OpenCode,
terminal failures, and restart paths have deterministic regression
coverage. The change is not deployed.

## Risks

- Provider messages are untrusted text. The boundary selects specific
fields, redacts credential patterns and known environment secret values,
bounds the message, and renders plain text. New provider-specific secret
formats may need added redaction patterns.
- Optional fields preserve compatibility with older producers and stored
runs. Old runs without the field keep their current fallback text. No
database migration is required.
- The cause stays in company-scoped run data. This change does not send
provider text to first-party Telemetry or add it to OpenTelemetry span
attributes.
- Normalized categories and retryability are display evidence. Existing
recovery classifiers, retry limits, ownership checks, and approval gates
keep their authority.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser verification. The host does not expose the exact
serving variant or context window size.

DottaandPaperclip 718336eb04 fix(native): refresh prior warm controller projections (#18718)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native remote sessions keep their controller state in a database
checkpoint.
> - An admission can also leave a full local copy of a prior run's
state.
> - The prior owner can commit more state without changing its run ID.
> - Warm admission skipped a refresh when the local and saved run IDs
matched.
> - This pull request refreshes that prior-run copy when no retained
warm owner exists.
> - The next turn can use the committed state while existing ownership
checks remain effective.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A prior warm run can complete after an earlier admission reads its
controller checkpoint. The local copy can still contain a pending
command or lack the final terminal event. A later admission sees the
same run ID and skips restoration. It can then hold work against that
old copy even though the database checkpoint has settled.

**Expected behavior**

Read the canonical prior-run checkpoint before reuse when no retained
in-memory owner exists. Keep current-run state with its controller. Keep
unresolved canonical work and invalid checkpoint bindings blocked.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a full prior-run local projection while a command is pending.
2. Complete that command and record the terminal in the canonical
checkpoint under the same run ID.
3. Start an ordinary remote warm continuation without a retained
in-memory owner.
4. Before this change, the local command remains pending. With this
change, the completed command and terminal replace the stale copy.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master `36df8933f0` before changing production code.

Related work: #18018 restored per-turn checkpoints; #18343 added
controller replacement recovery; #18554 restored missing remote
suspension receipts. This change handles a full prior-run projection
whose run ID already matches the saved supervisor. It does not change
the settlement guard or MCP compatibility policy.

## What Changed

- Refresh a prior-run warm controller projection even when its run ID
has not changed.
- Keep current-run and retained warm owner authority on the existing
path.
- Add five executor cases for a settled source, a pending canonical
command, a current run, legacy file-backed state, and an invalid
checkpoint binding.
- Add an opt-in Linux continuity case with a stale full local projection
and two follow-up turns.
- Update execution documentation and the paired session verification
recipes.

## Verification

- RED before the production edit: the executor fixture retained
`pending` in its local command record when the canonical record was
`completed`.
- GREEN on the final commit: 48 focused tests passed across executor
restoration, retained warm owner rotation, per-turn restoration, and
remote settlement guards.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passed. The server
TypeScript check also passed after the integration fixture was added.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check` passed.
- The unit fixture uses the real durable controller serializer and the
real executor entry. It stops at current tool authority before
provider/backend creation. It proves restoration and guard behavior, not
full task acceptance.
- Actual protocol RED/GREEN: the same opt-in continuity fixture uses
real PostgreSQL, TLS, the current Linux Rust Runner, and a deterministic
fake Codex backend. With only the executor restored to its parent
revision, continuation fails with
`prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate` in the settlement guard after
one provider turn (20.16 seconds). The PR source completes all three
turns with one provider thread and final suspension (34.77 seconds).
Hard recovery permits one provider-process replacement; the healthy
final follow-up starts no additional process. Both runs use the same
Runner binary and owned container.
- The exact PR executor source was restored after the baseline
comparison, its Git blob was verified, and the worktree is clean. The
disposable local container was removed. This fixture proves the
controlled stale-projection recovery path; it does not establish a live
model or Daytona API result.
- Full current-head CI passes, including typecheck, build, general and
serialized tests, Rust/Runner checks, all eight E2E shards, and the `ci
/ e2e` and `ci / verify` aggregate gates. Greptile is 5/5 on the current
commit, with no unresolved review threads. No original task was retried
and no staging sandbox lifecycle was changed.

## Risks

- Admission without a retained owner performs one additional scoped
checkpoint read when a full prior-run projection already exists.
- The canonical checkpoint must still pass its company, task, session
and record validation. A pending canonical command stays held.
Current-run and retained owner state are not replaced.
- The regression proves a stale local projection defect. It does not
establish that a historical incident had those same local bytes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The harness does not expose the exact
serving model ID or context-window size. Capabilities: repository
inspection, code generation, tools, and test execution.

DottaandPaperclip 16643a6e03 fix(runner): recover pending Stop cleanup after controller restart (#18682)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server owns execution, Stop delivery, and usage settlement.
> - A Stop can remain pending when the controller restarts.
> - Recovery must reach the existing session without starting more paid
work.
> - Startup and budget fences currently block that cleanup, and
interrupted runs leave the restart selection.
> - This pull request gives exact audited Stop cleanup a shared
authority check and records its real acknowledgement.
> - The benefit is safe cleanup while usage debt remains honest.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A pending native run-only Stop can retain an unfinished execution owner
after controller loss. Its startup cancellation fence prevents recovery
admission. If teardown marks the run interrupted and clears its task
lock, restart selection also omits it. A recovered session can receive
cancellation without the durable acknowledgement that the normal Stop
request would save.

**Expected behavior**

Recover only the existing remote session for the audited pending Stop.
Keep fresh provider work blocked, including during budget pause. Keep
incomplete usage pending until a real complete receipt arrives.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native run with a held reservation and an authenticated
remote checkpoint.
2. Persist a run-only Stop and its startup and execution cancellation
fences before acknowledgement.
3. Lose the controller. Leave the coordinator unfinished, mark the run
interrupted, and clear its task lock.
4. Attempt restart recovery and observe the missing claim or
cancellation admission rejection.

Related work: #14733 binds caller Stop requests. #18658 handles plugin
startup cleanup obligations. #18035 proposes broader accounting changes.
This change repairs existing-session Stop recovery and preserves current
accounting guards.

## What Changed

- Add one shared check for the exact run, company, issue, pending Stop,
intent audit, live recovery lease, generation, and remote reattachment
disposition.
- Include eligible interrupted Stop owners in restart selection. Keep
generic interruptions and another task execution owner fenced.
- Reuse only the original held reservation for cleanup. Keep budget
pause effective for fresh, bootstrap, dead-runner, and unproven recovery
work.
- Apply the same cleanup authority at heartbeat runtime selection and
native entry. Skip attachment staging and warm-owner retirement only for
that exact cleanup. Revalidate at session publication and fail closed if
the proof changed.
- Send the existing Stop through the audited cancellation producer
before turn submission. Close the coordinator only after
acknowledgement, including system-owned run-only Stops.
- Give verified cleanup a transport purpose that retains pending
semantic inputs without replay, dispatch, or a semantic reply. Add an
explicit Core retain-only intake mode; preserve authenticated identity,
schema, digest, sequence and replay checks. Ordinary execution still
requires its dispatcher.
- Add PostgreSQL, native protocol, and startup-fence regressions. Update
the execution contract and recovery maps.

## Verification

- The combined Stop regression fails on unchanged production at the
cancellation reservation guard. Interrupted restart selection also fails
before the repair while its running sibling passes.
- An assembled `heartbeatService.recoverNativeRunsAfterRestart`
regression exposes the earlier runtime-selection fence with the rest of
the repair present. The fixed path reaches selector/claim, runtime
selection, original held-budget reuse during pause, dispatch, real
native protocol, audited cancellation, and heartbeat settlement. It
starts no provider turn, acquires no new sandbox, and does not reclaim
the task lock.
- Fail-if-called attachment staging and turn boundaries remain
untouched. A retained warm-owner regression prevents retirement.
Invalidation at session publication fails closed. Actual backend/driver
constructor tests verify cleanup-purpose forwarding, absent default
options, and denial under foreign ownership.
- Missing usage retains accounting debt and the hold. A later complete
receipt records one 25-cent charge and settles that same hold.
Concurrent duplicate cleanup is denied. Both user-owned and system-owned
Stops pass.
- Real transport tests: 9 pass on Node 24.22.1. They preserve ordinary
saved-tool and completion recovery, prove the authority-denial race
before cancellation, and qualify cleanup with pending
ordinary/completion inputs and either handler ordering.
- Real authenticated Core intake: 11 pass. Callback-present and
callback-absent retain-only cases persist and acknowledge unanswered
input without dispatch, recovery or result. Default missing-dispatcher
rejection and digest-integrity/suspension guards remain effective.
Omitting the callback alone first failed by disconnecting; the explicit
retain-only mode fixes that defect.
- Repository `pnpm -r typecheck`, the server/runner-vendor build, map
checks, and module boundary checks passed locally before integrating the
latest retained-startup change. That integration passes 11 native
startup/cleanup compatibility cases and 3 assembled recovery/accounting
cases. The final broad affected-suite attempt was stopped without a
verdict; it is incomplete. Full repository tests and build are delegated
to current-head GitHub CI.
- Review exposed an additional real-process close failure with
unanswered input. The corrected path requires a fresh exact
provider-stop receipt confirming exit, followed by durable event drain
and exact runner suspension. All 11 focused transport cases pass,
including missing/false exit-proof negatives and ordinary recovery
siblings. Runner TypeScript and map validation pass after this
correction.
- The assembled test controls provider, workspace-transfer and GitHub
bootstrap I/O. It does not qualify hosted credentials, physical provider
termination, workspace preservation, or historical receipt recovery.
Local socket-permission setup failures are separate from semantic
regression results. No hosted replay has run on this repair.

- CI exposed an ordinary factory-call compatibility regression and an
obsolete authority-read test fixture. The repair preserves
single-argument ordinary calls and updates the race fixture without
changing its Stop assertions. The complete native executor suite now
passes all 1,049 tests; the ordinary factory boundary and all five
Stop-accounting cases pass. A separate local environment-default case
twice exceeded its five-second wait while other work ran; its prior-head
CI case passed. The same unchanged case passed an isolated diagnostic
without changing its assertion or timeout; the precise contention source
remains unproven.

- The final fixture edit initially used the wrong overloaded promise
type. CI rejected it; the annotation-only correction passes the exact
`pnpm run typecheck:build-gaps` entry point locally, including server
service tests and remaining workspaces. No runtime assertion changed.

- Final exact head `007fd4d04a2d6338c6dc073e97ab470a277fc3d0`: required
`ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`, build, typecheck and test groups pass.
Greptile is 5/5 with both findings resolved. Three expected checks are
skipped; the optional native check is neutral, while its final
current-head comment gives 5/5 from source inspection without a checkout
or test execution. The first server-shard attempt lost its self-hosted
runner connection; one scoped rerun passed. Its original annotation and
unavailable-log evidence are retained.

## Risks

- This changes execution authority. Cleanup requires an audited, exactly
bound pending Stop, an unfinished coordinator, a live remote
reattachment claim, and the original held reservation. It never
authorizes a replacement provider turn.
- Missing checkpoint, original held reservation, termination, or usage
evidence can keep cleanup or accounting pending. The repair does not
manufacture acknowledgement, replies, receipts, or zero cost.
- Retain-only intake is an internal trusted constructor option. It
changes no agent tool permission. Ordinary callback requirements and
semantic dispatch remain unchanged.
- No schema, public API, provider profile, or deployment setting changes
are required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, `gpt-6.1-sol`, Extra High reasoning, with source
inspection, code execution, and regression testing. The context-window
capacity is not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 3f7811eef0 fix(runner): keep requests responsive during retired backup cleanup (#18619)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote native runs keep durable harness backups for continuation and
recovery.
> - Publishing a new backup retires earlier backup directories in the
server process.
> - The synchronous permission walk and recursive removal block
unrelated requests.
> - This pull request makes that cleanup asynchronous and keeps
publication waiting for completion.
> - The benefit is continued request progress while large retired
backups are removed.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Publishing a backup with many small files blocks the Node event loop
during directory permission repair and removal. A local comparison with
20,000 retired files reproduced 1.37–1.95 second event-loop stalls. This
is a pause candidate. A short hosted profile has not established it as
the dominant source of sustained CPU use.

**Expected behavior**

Unrelated requests can progress during cleanup. Publication still waits
for complete removal, preserves rollback on a failed lease stamp, and
leaves live files and symlink targets unchanged.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the benchmark in `doc/performance/native-backup-publication.md`. It
compiles the actual publication service from a pinned baseline and the
working tree, prepares immutable retired backups, and sends foreground
HTTP probes from a separate process.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Measured baseline: `774ddc72713d6aa7cb516691c71f1fc23bcfa5ff`. The
measured treatment source is committed in this branch. Current head:
`0a69cf2d43c2f9fcf032d96c1dceb56163bf21ba`. The runtime patch is
unchanged from the measured source; later commits only strengthen the
test and benchmark evidence paths.

**Deployment mode**

Local compiled service on macOS arm64 with Node v24.22.2. No hosted
rollout has occurred.

Related work: #18380 changed retention scheduling. #13676 included the
existing immutable-backup cleanup behavior. Neither change makes
publication cleanup asynchronous. The GitHub duplicate search also found
#11929, which concerns database dumps rather than native harness
backups. No matching open event-loop cleanup issue was found.

## What Changed

- Use asynchronous filesystem operations for retired-backup cleanup.
Visit directories serially and skip unnecessary metadata calls for file
entries.
- Await cleanup before publication proceeds, during rollback, after
successful rotation, and in executor finalization.
- Exercise immutable current and previous backups in the publication
test. Preserve the existing symlink-isolation and rollback tests. Add a
real separate-process HTTP probe that must complete while publication is
still active.
- Add a repeatable service benchmark and document its fixture, metrics,
and acceptance limits.

## Verification

Draft status: focused correctness tests, the local comparison, and
repository typecheck pass. The complete local test gate is incomplete.
The build passed. Complete CI, hosted acceptance, and final-head review
remain pending.

- Final focused Vitest run: 2 files, 4 tests passed in 649 ms with the
normal server configuration. The regression warms a separate Node
client, waits for its HTTP request during the stamp callback, queues the
response for the next event-loop turn, and then allows final
retired-tree removal to start. The async treatment serves that response
before publication completes. The original synchronous cleanup fails the
same final regression in a separate source fixture. That expected
control failure is retained.
- Syntax and `git diff --check` passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed on head `332c57b88c` in 152.18 seconds,
including the native Runner build. Validation uses Node v24.22.2 and the
repository-pinned pnpm v9.15.4 with isolated dependencies.
- `pnpm test:run` was intentionally stopped after 1,390.24 seconds (exit
143). All six chat shards passed, covering all 1,817 parameterized cases
across their exact partitions. The general server phase was advancing
but incomplete. The repository timing manifest estimates another roughly
two hours for the serial remainder, so validation moved to final-head
parallel CI. This is not a full local test pass. The command began on
`332c57b88c`; later changes only refine the regression and benchmark,
and the final regression has its own focused pass.
- Benchmark failure/metadata checks pass in a tiny isolated Git fixture:
an injected worker exit 17 is reported in 0.44 seconds without hanging,
and the result includes a staged source change when the unstaged diff is
empty.
- `pnpm build` passed in 41.80 seconds on `9f7e4e669b`. The final commit
only releases a pending test probe on failure; runtime and build sources
are unchanged. An injected client exit verifies that final test failure
path exits promptly in 0.97 seconds instead of hanging.
- Three alternating baseline/treatment pairs used fresh fixtures with
100 directories × 100 files in each of two retired backups. Each
publication removed 20,000 files. A separate process sent HTTP probes at
fixed 5 ms intervals, including overdue arrivals.
- Every run verified the replacement manifest, complete cleanup, and
unchanged symlink-target contents and mode. All 2,395 HTTP requests
completed without errors. The largest measured generator delay was 8.8
ms.

| Metric | Baseline median (range), ms | Treatment median (range), ms |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| Foreground request p95 | 1,357.7 (1,287.4–2,014.0) | 1.8 (1.7–25.9) |
| Maximum event-loop delay | 1,439.7 (1,371.5–1,954.5) | 19.9
(17.4–40.7) |
| Publication completion | 1,429.1 (1,360.2–1,952.9) | 1,439.5
(897.9–1,649.6) |
| Process CPU during publication | 1,194.1 (1,041.8–1,225.5) | 2,423.1
(1,995.7–2,514.7) |

The treatment served 180–329 requests while publication was active. The
baseline served zero during that interval. Process CPU includes
foreground work that the baseline cannot serve until cleanup completes.
The result supports responsiveness, with a CPU tradeoff. It does not
establish lower total CPU or a hosted latency gain.

Reproduce with Node v24.22.2:

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-backup-cleanup.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-backup-publication.test.ts
node server/scripts/benchmark-native-backup-publication.mjs --baseline-ref 774ddc7271 --output /tmp/native-backup-publication.json
```

The benchmark records the baseline SHA, treatment HEAD and source diff.
Raw local evidence remains outside the repository. A first small smoke
run hit a sandbox restriction on loopback listeners; the authorized
retry resolved it. The smoke also exposed load-generator interval drift.
Fixed-clock arrivals replaced that generator before the reported
measurements.

Pending gates: complete current-head CI, final-head Greptile review, and
the real run/checkpoint/recovery journey. The full local test run
remains explicitly incomplete. The four concrete review findings were
fixed. The prior head received 5/5; final-head review remains pending.

Local evidence remains outside Git:
`/private/tmp/backup-publication-measurement-20261102.json`,
`/private/tmp/native-backup-focused-final.log`,
`/private/tmp/native-backup-typecheck.log`,
`/private/tmp/native-backup-test.log`,
`/private/tmp/native-backup-test-interruption.json`,
`/private/tmp/native-backup-build.log`, and
`/private/tmp/native-backup-harness-check.json`. The harness-check
receipt points to its isolated metadata and worker-failure logs. The
final client-failure and baseline-control logs are
`/private/tmp/backup-benchmark-check-gprcfiiz/failed-client-cleanup.log`
and
`/private/tmp/backup-benchmark-check-gprcfiiz/final-probe-baseline-control.log`.
These local paths are retained for the author; the commands above let
reviewers reproduce the synthetic proof.

## Risks

- Asynchronous removal adds filesystem-pool work and used more process
CPU in the fixture. Check resource pressure as well as responsiveness
before rollout.
- Filesystem operations can now interleave with unrelated work. The
existing session owner still controls publication. Cleanup remains
awaited; no deletion is detached and no scheduler is added.
- Errors must still fail publication or restore the prior backup as
before. Corruption checks and destructive lease authorization are
unchanged.
- This synthetic macOS fixture does not represent every Linux volume or
backup shape. It does not qualify a deployed fix.
- Rollout acceptance should confirm the serving SHA, checkpoint
completion, continuation/recovery, error rate, and loop delay under
matched backup load. Revert if cleanup or recovery fails.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with tool use and code execution. The exact
served model ID and context-window size were not exposed to this agent.

DottaandPaperclip baa4a2e64e fix(runner): restore Codex auth before source recovery (#18612)
Restore disposable Codex authentication and safe provider configuration before cold source recovery. Preserve source receipts and conversation state until reconciliation, and rebuild assigned tools from the admitted launch binding.

Validate remote launch destinations, clear stale authentication when no selected credential exists, and atomically publish SSH file transfers without following retained links. Red/green recovery regressions, a real two-turn Codex/MCP probe, and all current PR checks pass.

06bc8db75c fix(runner): install verified API artifacts in execution workspaces (#18494)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native agents use authorized API tools to read saved results.
> - Copying a large response as model-generated text can lose bytes.
> - The execution workspace needs an exact copy of the saved artifact.
> - This change copies the authorized bytes without shell API
credentials.
> - The runtime verifies size and SHA-256 before it reports success.
> - A live evaluation checks capture origin, installation and delivered
bytes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native agent lost one byte while copying a 24576-byte API text page.
Existing capture and paging controls passed. The runtime had no verified
saved-artifact-to-workspace copy tool. A separate historical screening
refusal does not establish capture corruption.

**Expected behavior**

An authorized native run can install the complete saved artifact. The
stored and installed bytes must match in size and SHA-256. A conflicting
file must remain unchanged. A lost publication receipt must not cause an
unsafe repeated write.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run
`server/src/services/native-runtime/artifact-transfer.integration.test.ts`
on baseline `c46b8f35add9255fc71be294d27f5a7865bcb47f`. Its capability
assertion fails because `download_artifact` is absent. Apply this PR and
run the same regression with the filesystem and API controls. It
verifies 388131 synthetic bytes through the authority and installation
boundary.

Refs #18429. Related #17393, #17086 and #17285 cover paging, transfer
foundations and remote output reads. This PR adds the inbound
installation contract.

## What Changed

- Add `download_artifact` for supported standard-mode native runs, with
a 10 MiB limit.
- Reuse current company, task, run, asset-content and responsible-user
access checks. Check authority again before publication.
- Bind installation to the current execution lease. Stage through
confined Linux descriptors and publish with an atomic create-only link.
Keep API credentials out of execution commands.
- Verify bytes at storage and execution boundaries. Reject unsafe paths,
symlinks, different existing files, truncation and corruption. Reconcile
an unknown publication through verification only; an identical explicit
retry remains safe.
- Add API documentation, access-map entries and content-free audit
records.
- Preserve only the pinned Daytona SDK numeric HTTP status when failed
creation cleanup is unconfirmed. Keep provider exception messages and
headers private.
- Keep only the finished runner binary and portable provider pack in
their builder layers. Remove Rust targets/downloads and the Node install
workspace/store before export. Report tree sizes.
- Add one explicit Codex/Daytona Product E2E cell. Its independent
oracle checks the server capture audit, redacted tool receipts, stored
source, delivered attachment and browser link after reload. Uploaded
substitutes and one-byte loss fail.

## Verification

- Merge update at `6766b46553cab5b9787ade87a002eccaf50e68fc`: merge
current master and preserve both explicit suites in the catalog. Focused
catalog, image and oracle checks: 122 pass. Filesystem and authority
integration: 20 pass. Maps, module boundaries and whitespace checks
pass. New-head CI and Greptile are running. Full local build and
typecheck remain unavailable because cargo is absent.

- Behavioral red/green: the absent-tool regression failed before
implementation and passed afterward. The initial missing-package attempt
is recorded as setup failure.
- Linux filesystem and real PostgreSQL/authority integration: 19
filesystem tests and 1 authority test pass. Existing API authority,
capture and paging controls: 70 pass, 2 skipped. Provider transport in
these integration controls is simulated.
- Qualification calibration: 118 focused tests pass. The real
persisted-event redaction case and a byte-identical uploaded substitute
each failed before their oracle repair. The unchanged controls then
passed. Harness typecheck passes.
- Full recursive typecheck and build pass locally on the integrated
production source at `086f7a2901`. Later commits change only
qualification tests and documentation.
- Structural map/module checks and whitespace checks pass.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` was attempted by the implementation worker
and stopped under its 8 GiB memory limit, with no full-suite verdict.
Current-head CI must supply the full test result.
- The complete local Product E2E support suite has 13 failures. The
unchanged pre-qualification baseline reproduces all 13: host PostgreSQL
semaphore capacity, stale timeout/profile/workflow inventory
expectations, and expired fixed-date allowance fixtures. This is not a
full local suite pass.
- Earlier CI at `086f7a2901` failed a browser test during cleanup
cancellation with a database lock timeout. It remains recorded. All
browser shards passed on both later fully checked heads.
- Two qualification campaigns were canceled during setup before provider
execution while correcting the oracle. They provide no live product
verdict.
- Previous-head CI at `28fa001457f59df1c300c016dc569049e72d0061`: 53
checks pass, 3 intentional selection skips; no failed or pending checks.
- Real image/export regression: campaign 41272351780 compiled the Linux
runner and passed root/unprivileged CLI and transport checks, then
failed BuildKit export with `no space left on device` (exit 102,
filesystem 99.99%). No provider cell ran. Removing the Rust build trees
alone was insufficient: campaign 41273604815 also failed during
provider-pack export with exit 102. Commit `5bbb549c54` also
consolidates dependency installation and pack construction so the
disposable workspace/store can be removed in the same layer. All 122
image/oracle/catalog checks pass. Image and remote-pack publication then
passed in campaign 41275196741 after cleanup changes plus a scoped
60-to-120 GiB expansion of only its delete-on-termination builder disk.
The VM terminated and the expanded volume was deleted. This does not
establish that cleanup alone makes the default 60 GiB builder
sufficient.
- The Daytona admission probe then failed before agent creation, with
unconfirmed provider cleanup. The queued continuity case was canceled
because it shares this prerequisite. No artifact-transfer or continuity
success is claimed.
- Status-diagnostic regression: the original generic wrapper failed the
HTTP-status assertion. After the repair, the full plugin suite passes
501 tests, with 7 skips; its standalone TypeScript check passes.
Controls reject invalid status values, avoid accessors, preserve the
original create status and exclude credential canaries.
- Previous-head Greptile: 5/5; its summary names
`28fa001457f59df1c300c016dc569049e72d0061`. All review threads are
resolved.
- Live artifact transfer and three-turn warm continuity: NOT VERIFIED.
The diagnostic case in
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41277598289
confirmed Daytona HTTP 401 before agent creation. The configured
`DAYTONA_API_KEY` in the existing `runner-e2e-paid` environment needs
verification or refresh. The queued continuity control was not run after
its shared admission prerequisite failed. No further provider attempt is
planned until the credential changes. Unconfirmed provider cleanup
remains recorded.

## Risks

- Source-provenance changes can repeat the provider dependency install.
The combined build layer trades install-cache granularity for lower
retained disk use.
- Linux descriptor semantics and Node are required on the execution
host. Unsupported providers and restricted runtime profiles fail closed.
- Storage reads buffer at most 10 MiB. A provider outage can leave a
reserved staging file. Partial bytes never become the destination.
- A lost publication receipt can leave a complete file with an unknown
result. Recovery verifies the existing file without installation.
Conflicts are never overwritten.
- Artifact contents remain untrusted. The copy does not bypass screening
or authorize downstream execution.
- Live qualification uses the governed Codex API profile. It does not
establish every model, subscription profile, platform or historical
failure cause.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 in Codex assisted with diagnosis, code, tests and
qualification. The desktop runtime does not expose a more specific model
deployment ID or context-window size. The model used reasoning, source
inspection, tools and code execution. The native implementation agent is
configured with OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`.

DottaandPaperclip 1a6017d646 fix(server): resume suspended sessions after controller replacement (#18554)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A web server replacement must preserve a completed conversation as
well as active execution.
> - A warm remote Runner can suspend before the replacement admits
another turn.
> - The replacement restores its controller checkpoint from PostgreSQL,
but lacks the Runner suspension receipt.
> - It therefore tries to adopt a live process and rejects the safely
suspended source.
> - This change restores the verified receipt and preserves retained
launch files while the old authority is reconciled.
> - Later turns can keep the same provider conversation after the old
web server filesystem is deleted.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18552, #18543, #18366.

**What happened?**

The real rolling-deployment journey passed both HTTP handoffs, with 765
reads and 78 verified saves. The first three agent turns kept their
native and provider sessions. After the second replacement, the fourth
continuation failed with `remote_warm_session_not_idle`. The remote
Runner was suspended with an empty outbox and no pending terminal. A
focused regression reproduced that exact failure. After restoring its
suspension receipt, the same test exposed a stale launch-file read
during source recovery.

**Expected behavior**

A replacement can resume the same provider conversation from a settled
suspended Runner. It must validate the physical sandbox and all
persisted identity fields. A live source must still pass the existing
adoption checks.

**Steps to reproduce**

Enable the Linux Runner fixture for
`native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`. Run the
`diskless-warm-suspended` cases. The fixture completes and gracefully
suspends each source, deletes the controller projections, and admits a
later turn from another process. It does not write a synthetic
suspension receipt.

## What Changed

- Reuse the existing per-turn suspended-receipt reader before warm
admission chooses live adoption or suspended recovery.
- Keep the receipt read retryable when a failed remote read leaves only
the controller projection.
- Leave every non-suspended warm state to the existing live-adoption
checks. A preliminary backpressure observation cannot reject admission
before that owner inspects the current Runner state.
- Preserve current sandbox binding, settled-outbox, exact-identity,
local-evidence and admission checks.
- Pass the structured launch specification to remote asset preparation.
Source reconciliation keeps the old authority's retained launch files; a
current-authority launch still stages its current files.
- Add two Linux Runner/PostgreSQL regressions for two controller-cache
deletions and three turns on one provider thread, including an
interrupted receipt read.
- Update the deployment qualification record, including the failed live
evidence and the successful staging database-idle observation.

## Verification

- Before the fix, the focused regression fails with the exact live
`remote_warm_session_not_idle` error.
- Both new regressions pass with real PostgreSQL and Linux Runner. The
provider is deterministic; this is not a live model qualification.
- The first receipt-only fix failed on the deleted controller skills
cache. The completed fix passes that same scenario without recreating
fixture launch assets.
- All 1,067 surrounding launch supervision, warm recovery, launch-asset
and controller recovery tests pass. The exact `cc23019691` server build
passes. All ten Linux continuity cases pass, including live adoption,
graceful suspension, per-turn resume, changed configuration and
failed-read retry. Each case checks provider-thread identity and exact
turn counts. The live Codex/Daytona journey passes on the same clean
source and exact build: 518 reads, 53 saves and 53 verified saves with
zero probe failures; both predecessor homes deleted; the active
execution completes once; all four turns preserve the provider
conversation and native receipts; saved files and the final command
output are independently checked. No automatic retries. Child credential
and object-storage bucket cleanup pass. Browser reconnection remains a
separate hosted acceptance check.
- The review refinement has a failing-before regression: only the
preliminary read reports transient backpressure; the subsequent adoption
reads the real Runner state. It and both suspension cases pass on the
final source (three cases), with server typecheck. The existing idle
check remains unchanged. An initial retry hit a fixture port left by the
intentional pre-fix failure; a fresh container resolved that
infrastructure error.
- Independent cleanup verification found two archived setup sandboxes
left by the live harness. Both were deleted and confirmed absent. The
failed automatic-cleanup check remains recorded.
- No claim of the ten-deploy Railway campaign or production canary yet.

## Risks

- A cold warm-session admission can now make one bounded remote state
read when local lifecycle evidence is absent. Its failure stops
admission and remains retryable.
- This path cannot replace contradictory local evidence, transfer
authority, or treat a suspended process as a live one.
- Source recovery must keep the previous authority's launch files until
reconciliation completes. The launch identity selects that behavior;
ordinary launches still prepare current assets.
- No schema migration or public API change.

## Model Used

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

CI qualification note: first final-head run `41322376054` passed the
native/runtime and remaining suites but failed the unrelated
`automatic_message_on_reactivation` browser fixture at its
pre-reactivation deferred-queue count (0 rather than 1). The unchanged
test passed locally against isolated PostgreSQL (1 test, 43.6 s);
inspection found an asynchronous company-pause/fixture-seeding timing
window. Original CI logs and local evidence are retained. The single
failed-job retry passed; all final-head CI gates are green. Both reviews
are 5/5 and no review threads remain unresolved. The first local
embedded-Postgres launch failed before tests during cluster
initialization; the isolated external-Postgres test passed, and its
disposable database was removed after correcting the private launcher
cleanup call.

DottaandPaperclip 7751fc3107 fix(server): complete volume-free controller admission and recovery (#18543)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its volume-free web server must admit remote warm execution without
depending on a local disk.
> - Fresh run rows retain the initial legacy label during workspace
preparation.
> - The native runtime selector commits the execution mode later.
> - The earlier guard rejected valid remote runs before that selection.
> - This PR checks storage during preparation and the resolved lifecycle
during runtime selection.
> - Agent-file recovery also has to reconstruct disposable cache paths
from the retained remote directory.
> - The deployment test removes the complete predecessor home, including
immutable caches, to enforce that contract.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18518, #18529, #18533.

**What happened?**

A real Codex/Daytona deployment test failed during setup because the
volume-free workspace guard checked the initial run label. After fixing
admission, controller retirement first failed on an immutable skill
cache. Removing that cache exposed a production recovery failure: B
rejected the saved agent-directory path from A, even though the remote
execution identity was unchanged. The next live attempt recovered that
directory and transferred the same runner, but adoption then tried to
recreate provider launch assets from the deleted controller home.

**Expected behavior**

Allow remote workspace preparation before native selection. Reject
actual legacy and per-turn execution at the runtime boundary. Delete the
entire stopped predecessor home, including immutable caches, without
following links to shared dependencies. B must reconstruct its local
agent-file projection from the exact registered remote lease while
preserving the save baseline and unsaved remote edits. Reattaching an
already-running provider must not prepare a new launch or require the
old launch files. The full backend must recover the admitted
instructions from the matching durable run checkpoint.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the explicit
`rolling-web-deployment.runner-codex.daytona.recover-controller` Product
E2E cell with a complete server/UI build, disposable PostgreSQL/S3, and
an owned Daytona fixture. The new boundary regressions also reproduce
the premature guard and missing runtime rejection without a model call.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The failures were observed on
`247552fe0719dcc92f7b42c50b658be6f624986d`. This branch is based on
`e122478368`.

## What Changed

- Validate Runner and remote workspace authority before runtime
selection without trusting the initial run label.
- Reject resolved legacy execution and local-source fallback, preserving
the native warm-policy check before admission.
- Rebind remote agent-file caches on ephemeral controllers and retrieve
their validated contents without uploading over the retained execution.
Preserve pending saves when the remote collector is unavailable.
- Restore over-quota remote directories without applying save quotas to
run admission; ordinary saves still enforce quotas.
- Skip provider launch asset materialization when adopting an existing
Runner. A real-process regression deletes the old skill/instruction
sources before reattachment.
- Recover admitted system instructions through Runner-owned checkpoint
validation for the same run, session and context digest. Fresh launches
still compose current instructions.
- Make the attention-retention test advance past its database-assigned
deadline, fixing a clean-master clock mismatch.
- Serialize remote collection and cleanup across controllers with an
operation-scoped Postgres advisory lock; fence stale cache-path updates.
- Keep synthetic deployment probe tasks in a separate disposable company
so they cannot block the business completion oracle.
- Share the launcher's directory cleanup with rolling retirement. Reject
a symlink root and skip linked descendants.
- Test admission with real PostgreSQL transactions and cleanup with real
read-only directories and external symlinks.
- Update developer documentation and the canonical qualification record.
Broader deployment acceptance remains in progress.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed.
- All 156 workspace preparation, runtime selection and ephemeral
contract tests passed. Two new regressions failed before the source fix.
- Seven focused Product E2E cleanup/replacement tests and `pnpm
test:e2e:runner:typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm test:run` stopped at an unrelated 15-second chat integration
timeout after 338 passes. That exact test passed in isolation without
increasing its timeout. The later full-suite shards did not run.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit` reported 5,898 passes and 13 failures.
Clean master reproduced 11 failures in unchanged onboarding
expectations, operating receipts, Pi catalog assertions, workflow
bootstrap counts and embedded PostgreSQL startup. The other two workflow
assertions were fixed by the intervening master commit. These failures
are retained, not counted as passes.
- All 122 workspace-preparation tests pass after the reviewed
host-fallback fix. The first broader attempt exposed a test environment
leak; restoring the ephemeral flag between cases resolved it.
- Agent-directory and instruction regressions passed 179 tests. Five
focused cache-loss cases pass: different home, same path on an empty
filesystem, foreign lease, concurrent controller, and missing collector.
- The live fixture at `a18f6b85a3` gracefully stopped A and deleted its
entire home, then failed the 420-second remote reattachment deadline on
the saved local agent-directory path. That failure is retained; exact
owned sandbox cleanup was independently confirmed. The next live attempt
at `e14ca5f3e9` restored the cache and transferred the same runner, but
failed while rematerializing launch assets from A. Both failures are
retained and their owned sandboxes confirmed absent. No active-overlap,
ten-deploy, or production-canary acceptance is claimed.
- All 71 related Runner adoption/recovery cases pass, including the new
removed-context regression (failed before the source fix).
- The revised full agent-directory suite passed 110 cases and failed
three cleanup timing cases. All 20 cleanup/cache-loss cases then passed
in isolation with unchanged timeouts, including over-quota recovery.
- Server and Runner TypeScript checks pass after the latest corrections;
the live retry remains pending.

- The live test at `67714af9ff` adopted the same remote execution after
A was deleted, then failed while the full backend read the retired
instruction bundle. All owned sandboxes were independently confirmed
absent. Its regression now passes with actual backend recovery and no
new thread or turn. All 59 backend factory tests and focused checkpoint
identity tests pass. Runner and server TypeScript checks pass; the exact
committed server build passes. A fresh paid-model retry followed.
- The attention-retention CI timeout reproduced on clean master. The
deadline correction passes all 53 tests in that file with unchanged
timeouts.

- The real `cd690de4d3` run transferred the same runner/session after
deleting A, completed, and completed the next revision. During handoff,
372 reads and 38 saves had zero failures; all 38 saves were verified.
The full attempt was interrupted because the probe's open task
contaminated the business company oracle. This remains incomplete
evidence. The scope regression fails before the fixture fix, then
passes; all nine deployment support tests and E2E typecheck pass. All
three owned sandboxes were confirmed absent and temporary
credentials/storage were cleaned up. A clean corrected attempt is
running.

## Risks

- The runtime guard must still reject legacy and per-turn execution
before dispatch. Tests cover these refusals and a valid resolved warm
policy.
- Directory permission changes apply only during cleanup of stopped,
test-owned homes. Traversal does not follow symlinks. This changes no
production cache permissions.
- Cache reconstruction must not change remote execution authority or
rebase the original save baseline. Tests verify foreign-lease rejection,
preserved receipts, and absence of local-to-remote upload.
- Postgres locking is scoped to active remote file work and adds no idle
polling; local/durable-server locking remains unchanged.
- No schema or public API changes. External conversation exemptions
remain unchanged.

## Model Used

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

Latest real qualification at f5915fdc33: both empty-home replacements
completed with 523 reads, 53 saves and 53 verified saves, zero probe
failures. The active remote execution survived and completed once; saved
project bytes and the later useful answer passed. The full workflow
remains FAILED: the later continuation reset its native/provider session
and the public run row lacked the native terminal contract. These newly
exposed compatibility/projection gaps are tracked in the next
implementation slice; this PR is not a claim of full Railway
qualification. All owned Daytona sandboxes were independently confirmed
absent after cleanup.

DottaandPaperclip 16787e4167 Qualify rolling web deployments and preserve Stop through handoff (#18526)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The web server owns request handling and remote execution
coordination.
> - Deployment must start a ready replacement while the old server still
serves.
> - An outage test does not prove that two live servers can overlap
safely.
> - This pull request adds a separate Product E2E cell for that
boundary.
> - The existing run, file, recovery, and retained-session checks still
apply.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18518. The runtime prerequisite is merged; this PR qualifies its
ephemeral server and deployment contracts.

## What Changed

- Add the explicit `rolling-web-deployment` Codex Daytona workflow.
- Start independent A/B/C homes and compiled builds behind a test
ingress.
- Wait for readiness before routing, then drain and delete the old home.
- Observe active authority before handoff and use the existing read-only
recovery oracle.
- Require ordinary reads and saves to succeed throughout replacement.
Read back every accepted save exactly once.
- Preserve the five-minute outage suites and their existing validators.
- Add a model-free supervisor smoke and an unready replacement control.
- Require graceful exit before deleting an old home; forced cleanup
cannot satisfy the oracle.
- Preserve a durable Stop through lease release/expiry until the
recovered execution owner acknowledges it. Permit only fenced
reattachment of the original execution for Stop cleanup; submit no new
turn.
- Exclude events saved by A during shutdown from evidence of B making
progress.

## Verification

- E2E TypeScript check passed.
- Affected harness checks: 143 passed. Catalog, fixture and report
checks: 120 passed.
- Actual supervisor smoke passed two replacements: 436 reads, 45 saves,
zero request failures, and confirmed owned resource cleanup.
- B became ready in 18.7 seconds; C became ready in 109.2 seconds. A
prior C timeout remains failed evidence.
- Fresh browser proof: 11 checks passed, 246 reads, 50 acknowledged
saves, zero failures, 1,058ms reconnect, both old homes deleted and
cleanup confirmed.
- Stop lease-gap regression: three PostgreSQL delivery tests passed with
a simulated provider edge. Current server TypeScript build/vendoring
passed.
- Full harness: 5,814 passed, 17 failed, four skipped. Two shutdown
races passed the focused file; two report timeouts passed an isolated
42-test rerun. Onboarding/workflow-security/Pi/date-expired fixtures are
unchanged on inspected master; the host embedded PostgreSQL fixture
remains a setup limitation. This is not a green full local suite.
- CI at `172509b8be` passed all gates. Greptile is 5/5 with every review
thread resolved. The earlier access-service race failure passed its
isolated regression and the subsequent full CI.
- Final review corrections: six focused executor cases, three PostgreSQL
command-delivery cases, 19 harness cases and server/E2E typechecks
passed.
- Three live attempts failed before agent creation: two harness setup
gaps were fixed, then provider authentication failed. The saved OpenAI
key returns 401; a refresh is pending. The Daytona probe reported
cleanup uncertain, and no sandbox with that attempt label was found
through the authenticated staging manager. No live model execution is
claimed.
- Live Runner overlap, released-container qualification and hosted
deployment proof remain pending. Merging this opt-in qualification lane
does not claim those results.

## Risks

- The source lane shares workspace dependencies and does not establish
container packaging correctness.
- The live workflow needs an explicitly owned S3 bucket, PostgreSQL,
pinned remote image and provider credentials.
- Qualification cleanup stops all owned processes after failure. A
failed replacement must not be reported as a pass.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. Tool use, code execution and repository review. The
runtime does not expose a more specific model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 006d5691a6 feat(server): support volume-free web server handoff (#18518)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its web server also owns controller admission and user commands.
> - A rolling deployment starts a replacement before the old server
exits.
> - Shared database state alone does not preserve local agent files,
browser chunks, or in-process commands.
> - This pull request adds an opt-in ephemeral server contract and a
local overlap test.
> - The benefit is a web server that can relinquish traffic and local
files without losing acknowledged work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18403, #18327, #18335, #18341.

**Current behavior**

The control-plane web server still has local agent-file authority and
local command targets. A new container can miss saved bytes or send a
command to the wrong process. An existing browser tab also needs chunks
from its original build.

**Proposed behavior**

Eligible servers share only PostgreSQL, object storage and stable
secrets. A replacement waits for readiness. The old server drains
admitted requests, keeps owner commands available through handoff, and
releases controller leases. Explicit maintenance adopts existing files
before the volume is removed.

**Reason and benefit**

This is the application prerequisite for rolling app-only deployments.
Schema migrations and permanent multi-replica operation are outside this
change.

## What Changed

- Store agent-file manifests in PostgreSQL and immutable bytes in S3.
Treat local roots as disposable projections. Preserve existing
permission checks and edit conflicts.
- Add an explicit migration, eligibility and object-retention command to
the production runtime bundle.
- Add `/api/ready`, admitted-request drain, browser restart signaling
and retained immutable UI chunks.
- Carry transaction-aware work hints across controllers during handoff
and active execution. Keep listeners closed when idle.
- Deliver durable Stop and runtime responses to the execution owner.
Recheck request lifecycle and access before response dispatch.
- Reject local-only configuration in ephemeral mode. Keep the feature
disabled for existing installations by default.
- Add an isolated PostgreSQL/S3/proxy/browser deployment harness with
independent server homes and retained failure evidence.

## Verification

- All CI checks pass on `ce17b95019d3cf1cabd357d19b6d37f96782cc5c`:
workspace typecheck, build, Runner checks, server/general tests and
browser shards. Greptile reviewed the runtime changes at 5/5 with all
findings resolved; the final commit updates maps and the plan.
- Local targeted checks passed: coordinator 27; Stop/recovery 33;
PostgreSQL command delivery 6; route/workspace regressions 8; bootstrap
Stop 1; restart recovery 75. PostgreSQL command tests simulate the
provider edge.
- Local browser proof passed 91 reads and 19 saves; reconnect took
1,013ms. The tab opened Audit from S3 after deletion of A's whole
home/build. This uses compiled workspace code and local-trusted auth,
not released containers or live agents.
- Local workspace typecheck/build passed; current server and runtime
bundle passed. The earlier broad local suite was stopped after three
hours and is not a passing receipt. Its retained failures and isolated
reruns are documented in the plan.
- Stacked #18526 adds stricter graceful-exit proof, an unready
replacement control, live Runner qualification and a Stop handoff
correction. Hosted enablement remains gated on those results and Cloud
#1096. No hosted stack has been enabled.

## Risks

- Apply migration 0422 before enabling the feature. Existing data must
pass each owner's migration and eligibility checks. Do not discard a
volume based on a single migration page.
- Durable manifests remain authoritative after the opt-in is disabled.
Rolling back to a binary that ignores them is unsupported.
- Cold directory restoration and complete shutdown timing still need
qualification before enabling a hosted stack.
- Retained UI assets must cover the supported browser and rollback
window. Cleanup is explicit; no new idle maintenance polling is
introduced.
- This change does not claim production zero downtime or authorize a
fleet-wide enablement.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact serving model ID and
context-window limit are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning,
code editing, shell execution and browser automation.

DottaandPaperclip b7f1c3769c feat(native): record verified provider-pack session admission (#18469)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote native sessions can use an installed pack or a retained
earlier pack.
> - The current app revision does not identify the pack that a session
admitted.
> - Core already verifies the selected pack and binds its launch
artifacts.
> - Normal run records lack a closed receipt for that admitted
selection.
> - This pull request records that receipt after session admission and
attachment.
> - Operators can compare the actual Core admission identity with their
expected pack.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17749 for protected provider-pack selection and #18343 for
retained controller recovery. The related OpenCode producer repair is
#18456. Those changes do not publish the closed run receipt added here.
A search found no existing `nativeProviderPackAdmission` PR.

**What happened?**

Core can admit a compatible installed provider pack with a source
revision that differs from the current app. A retained session can also
keep its original pack. The normal run record does not show the admitted
pack digest, proxy digest, and source revision. An expected launch path
or current app revision cannot fill that evidence gap.

**Expected behavior**

The run has a closed, server-owned receipt after actual session
admission and attachment. The first receipt remains immutable history. A
separate current-proof state verifies only the actual current admission
epoch. Retained recovery needs positive original provenance, and missing
legacy evidence stays unknown.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Select and verify an installed pack whose digest differs from the
current app pack.
2. Open the native session successfully.
3. Inspect the normal run profile for a bound admission receipt.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The original selected base was
`8bcc5a01edd5d87540401521e6f30d3df43e1848`. The branch now includes
exact actual prerequisite parent
`3ee4c5b6138da82d0b1f51aa010540561bf43c22`; the PR diff against it is
the five receipt, executor, test and documentation files.

**Deployment mode**

Core remote native execution with provider-pack selection and retained
session attachment.

## What Changed

- Retain the verified selected pack identity only after a backend
returns the matching admitted session.
- Publish `runnerProfileJson.nativeProviderPackAdmission` from the
session callback after attachment succeeds.
- Mark the receipt with `stage: session_admitted` and `authority:
core_verified_selection`.
- Store bound company, agent, run, session, runner, logical
`runnerEnvironmentLeaseId`, pack digest, OpenCode proxy digest, and
source revision fields. Retained attachments identify
`inheritedFromRunId`. The logical Runner scope is distinct from the
physical environment lease.
- Lock the current coordinator claim before the profile write. Check
owner, attempt, generation, controller boot, lease expiry, phase, and
absence of an accepted result. Merge JSON fields without replacing other
profile data.
- Restore retained metadata only from the exact prior closed Core
receipt, positively verified prior state and matching retained binding.
Capture same-run prior provenance from the locked claim row before
invalidation; cross-run recovery reads only the exact source. Legacy
absence remains unknown while recovery continues.
- Preserve the first receipt as history. Atomically mark a new opaque
admission epoch pending in the existing mandatory claim transaction.
Publish current verification only for the matching claim and epoch after
actual attachment; changed or unsupported admission becomes unknown
without blocking authorized execution.
- Preserve synchronous session publication and quarantine ordering
before the best-effort receipt write. Fresh replacement selects its
newly verified pack; a captured retained-process flag cannot relabel the
replacement with an older pack. Preserve the existing private pack
authority even when a local dirty revision is ineligible for the closed
receipt.
- Add focused admission, recovery, identity, PostgreSQL ownership, lock,
and JSON-preservation tests. Document the receipt contract.

## Verification

- RED: the actual managed-backend path verified and admitted an
installed pack but had no closed metadata. Failed open published no
evidence. Additional controls fail when retained recovery invents
missing history or dirty-revision eligibility gates the existing private
authority.
- RED calibration: removing mandatory pending invalidation fails the
actual pre-admission control; reusing the retained flag for fresh
replacement falsely restores the old pack. Removing the epoch fence
fails the real PostgreSQL stale-callback case; reintroducing a
receipt-specific execution error fails both authorized
Runner/logical-lease replacement controls.
- GREEN: 49 focused Core tests, all 33 admission identity/transaction
tests (20 pure and 13 PostgreSQL), and all 23 existing private-authority
tests passed on exact integrated head
`165a9096cf3e0d34d2db1e6b52960ad4ac0ad132`. No all-skipped run is
counted.
- Final test-only head `11ac34baf00552a5d322b5f5f1a8e491859cacec` adds
the positive executor-callback SQL-writer wiring control, exact
session/identity/claim/epoch assertions, profile preservation, and
null-session zero-write check. Removing only the production writer call
makes it fail on a missing receipt. All70 focused identity/Core tests
pass with this closure; production code, the13 PostgreSQL tests and
the23 private-authority tests are byte-identical to the qualified165
source (106 distinct passing controls across the combined proof).
- The PostgreSQL tests used an owned loopback-only cached Postgres 17
container with the supported `PAPERCLIP_TEST_POSTGRES_ADMIN_URL` helper
and aliases to current DB/shared source. The container was removed
afterward. They cover immutable history, JSON preservation, stale claims
and epochs, expired leases, terminal runs, changed/unsupported
replacements, and a failed write retaining pending proof.
- Historical pushed `f7f12fe` CI executed all 24 earlier admission
tests, including nine PostgreSQL cases, in server5. Its warm-quarantine
failure exposed the new hook-ordering issue fixed here. The same run
also encountered a six-character UUID fixture-prefix collision and the
independently repaired cached issue-link browser selector; those
historical failures are not claimed as green.
- Node 24.22.2 and Vitest 5.0.3. The credential-free normal QA runtime
import preflight passes with networking disabled. Map contracts, token
gates and `git diff --check` pass.
- Local TypeScript validation still sees stale borrowed Runner/shared
declaration mismatches outside the changed ranges. No diagnostics remain
in the new helper or changed test/hook ranges; clean current-head CI is
required.
- Repository-wide typecheck, full tests and build were not completed
locally. A full local executor attempt reached this host's unsupported
native PostgreSQL listener and was interrupted; its result is not
counted. Canonical run `41214512239`, attempt 2, is successful on exact
final head `11ac34baf00552a5d322b5f5f1a8e491859cacec`. All 59 checks are
terminal: 55 success, 3 skipped and 1 neutral; none failed or pending.
The actual Linux suites execute all 33 admission tests (including 13
PostgreSQL cases) and all 1,022 executor tests successfully. The
[original five failures and bounded unchanged-source
controls](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18469#issuecomment-6545593767)
remain preserved. One failed-only request was made; GitHub expanded the
reusable workflow call and dependents. No second request was made. Fresh
exact-head Greptile review is 5/5, all review threads are resolved, and
the PR is mergeable.
- These local results claim no live provider admission, rollout or
recovery.

## Risks

- The authority is Core's verified selection plus successful session
admission. It is not an independent provider statement or continuous
runtime measurement.
- Receipt fields cannot grant execution or replace the existing
provider, process, lease, workspace, or recovery checks.
- Legacy missing receipts and unavailable database reads remain unknown.
The current release cannot label an older admitted pack.
- The closed receipt requires a clean, 40-character hexadecimal source
revision. Verified local `-dirty` packs still execute and retain their
existing private recovery authority; their closed admission proof stays
`unknown`, so it cannot certify an immutable source revision.
- The first receipt is historical. Consumers must require current state
`verified`; pending or unknown cannot certify the current pack. Changed
Runner scope or pack evidence does not add execution policy.
- A receipt save failure leaves the atomically invalidated state
pending. The existing artifact authority, cancellation, workspace and
process checks remain responsible for execution safety.
- The receipt adds no manifest, environment, credential, or filesystem
path to the run record.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, code editing, and tool
use. The session does not expose an exact model build ID or
context-window capacity.

DottaandPaperclip 12d8c3043e fix(native): fence retries when replaying an audited Stop (#18457)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs keep Stop intent and retry state in durable records.
> - A provider error can leave a failed retry with an earlier
acknowledged Stop.
> - The replay path returned the existing receipt before it closed that
retry.
> - This pull request applies the existing retry fence to the validated
replay.
> - The same Stop can settle without another provider cancellation or a
new receipt.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14733 for the related caller-bound Stop contract. This change
covers a later retry that already has a Stop acknowledgement. The older
CI-only #14743 is not a production delivery PR.

**What happened?**

A failed native run can have a retryable coordinator and an earlier
audited Stop. A repeat Stop returns the old acknowledgement without
moving the coordinator to `terminal_failure`. The final
failed-to-cancelled transition requires that fence, so the Stop cannot
settle through that path.

**Expected behavior**

A valid replay closes the same retry and keeps the original intent and
acknowledgement. It does not send a second provider cancellation.
Physical stop and workspace cleanup still require their own evidence.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Store a failed native run with a `retryable_failure` coordinator.
2. Store a matching run-scoped Stop with a dispatched acknowledgement
and audit IDs.
3. Call `cancelNativeSession` for that same run and inspect the
coordinator.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on public master `f2db909393de124caf6a5380a52d4e0e1d621661`.

**Deployment mode**

Core native execution. The regression uses the real cancellation
executor with controlled persistence and provider boundaries.

## What Changed

- Reuse the existing guarded coordinator fence for a validated Stop
replay.
- Test repeated replay, unchanged receipts, one fence, and no second
provider cancellation.
- Reject foreign company, run, issue, scope, effect, and missing-audit
receipts before any write.
- Check that an acknowledged Stop with an unconfirmed remote lease still
fails the physical-stop guard.
- Document the separate retry fence and physical-cleanup requirements.

## Verification

- RED on the selected public base: the new executor case returned
success but left the coordinator in `retryable_failure` with a future
retry. One case executed and failed for that assertion.
- GREEN: 62 focused tests passed across
`native-session-executor.test.ts` and
`native-cancellation-request.test.ts`. These include ownership, caller
conflict, changed-phase, and receipt controls.
- Command from `server/`: `node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-cancellation-request.test.ts -t
'native session cancellation|caller-bound native cancellation|failed
native retry caller admission'`.
- Canonical Linux CI passed all 1,018 executor cases and all 32
caller-cancellation cases. The exact file completion lines are in
[server shard
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41203989386/job/124545366271)
and [server shard
10](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41203989386/job/124545366219).
- Node 24.22.2 and Vitest 5.0.3. Map contract checks and `git diff
--check` pass.
- Local dependencies are linked from an existing checkout. Full local
TypeScript validation reports older Runner/shared declarations that lack
current Kimi and continuity APIs. The changed ranges have no
diagnostics. The canonical clean CI Typecheck + Release Registry gate
passed.
- A broader two-file run was stopped when an unchanged integration case
tried to start embedded Postgres and hit the host listen restriction. It
is not a passing full-suite result. No host settings or other services
were changed.
- Repository-wide `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm test:run`, and `pnpm build`
were not completed locally. Current-head CI passed against clean source
and dependencies.
- Fresh [Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18457#issuecomment-6543772487)
on `dbc1c1a5b71450194d568725592969660864cb5a`: 5/5 with no actionable
findings. The review-thread inventory has no threads and no pagination.
Full [current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41203989386)
passed: 59 terminal checks, 55 successful, 3 skipped, and 1 neutral. No
failure or pending check remains. Merge status is CLEAN. No live
recovery, rollout, or physical termination is claimed.

## Risks

- A wrong or stale Stop must not close another retry. Existing
run/coordinator locks, caller checks, receipt binding, and the final
compare-and-set remain in place.
- This fix changes logical retry settlement only. Provider termination,
workspace preservation, lease cleanup, and continuation gates remain
separate.
- The regression controls persistence and provider boundaries. It does
not establish the physical state of a remote provider.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, code editing, and tool
use. The session does not expose an exact model build ID or
context-window capacity.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

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

**Subsystem affected**

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

**Current behavior**

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

**Proposed behavior**

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

**Reason and benefit**

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

**Breaking changes**

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

**Additional context**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

| Gate | Current repair evidence |
| --- | --- |
| Assembled regression | Baseline fails with an accepted result and
terminal snapshot but a NULL task pointer while real provider cleanup is
held. The fix passes normal continuation and reset cases, with no
pointer seeding. Exact merged `92b7447` passed 2/2 twice, including
after normal package TypeScript output refresh. Production files are
byte-identical at frozen `435ccd2`. |
| Persistence and concurrency | 19 helper/transaction cases and all 59
existing control-port cases pass on `0862062`. They cover bound result
IDs, reset/newer epochs, Stop, lock waits and expiry, receipt replay,
missing stubs, foreign bindings and atomic 4 KiB rollback. Existing
snapshot transaction count stays one. The new tests reproduce the exact
live missing-result-ID error and the inverse replay/status lock order
against `435ccd2`, then pass after the correction. Replayed results
still reject stale generations. |
| Completion | All 32 completion-boundary tests pass on merged
`92b7447`; the source is unchanged at `435ccd2`. Native result-shaped
session metadata is preserved. |
| Qualification fixture | A valid review report reproduced three
rejected correct replies. Exact token-boundary matching fixes them. 140
focused E2E/catalog cases and Product E2E typecheck pass. Wrong tokens,
marker prefixes/suffixes and wrong authors remain rejected;
retained-identity checks are unchanged. |
| Required checks | Full recursive typecheck and standard build passed
at `435ccd2`. Both exact commands also passed on `0862062`, with its
exact server build stamp; both also pass on `7a203274`, with its exact
server build stamp. Fresh `0862062` Greptile passed 5/5, with zero
unresolved threads. The `64c0b746` normal CI then passed all 49 jobs (48
success, one expected skip) and Greptile passed 5/5 with zero unresolved
findings. The `7a203274` normal CI also passed 48 jobs with one expected
skip, with fresh Greptile 5/5 and zero unresolved findings. Current
`39a4343` recursive typecheck and standard build both pass with
persisted exit codes and its exact build stamp; fresh Greptile is 5/5
with zero unresolved findings. Its normal CI completed successfully: 48
jobs passed and one expected job skipped. The fresh live result remains
separately failed. The `0862062` normal CI had 46 passing jobs, one
expected skip, one worker communication failure and its aggregate
failure; GitHub states the self-hosted runner lost communication. No
failed assertion or specific OOM/spot cause was established, and no
blind retry was used. |
| PostgreSQL supplement | One corrected all-pool pair at the preceding
repair passed 300-controller/10,000-history correctness and absolute
gates. SQL 76,590→75,990; transactions 9,013→8,713; UPDATE rows 11,613
each; 300 correct pointer writes each. PG CPU 31.99→30.46 s, WAL
70.36→67.87 MB, request p99 100.98→103.12 ms. This is one pair, not a
repeated improvement claim or an exact `0862062` CPU measurement. Its
two later changes defer premature publication and reorder existing
locks; they add no transaction, stream/idle writer, pool or timer. The
first collapsed-pool attempt remains invalid and retained. This is not
an exact final-head CPU/WAL measurement; later fixes change ordering,
identity selection and in-memory skill replacement without adding
snapshot transactions, pools, stream writes or idle SQL. |
| Live publication proof (`0862062`) | Baseline run
`06fcc806-f186-4190-9b57-087b61d75533` accepted result
`58f912dc-94d9-4b4d-bd3d-d5f689c83fd3`; the publication receipt names
the same result, the task pointer has parameters and `lastRunId`
matches, and the normalized native identity matches the following active
run. Accounting v2 settled. |
| Active recovery (`0862062`) | **FAIL.** SIGKILL/cache discard at
23:07:28.666 UTC; hold 300,000.859 ms; B ready at 308,896.486 ms;
natural generation-2 ownership at 312,906 ms. At about 319 s,
preparation failed `runner_harness_state_mismatch:
resumed_not_suspended`. No authenticated after-receipt passed within 420
s. Exact original Runner PID 668/start/fingerprint was independently
still alive; provider auto-stop was 15 minutes. No retained C follow-up
qualified. Canonical 0/1 `cleanup_failure`/cleanup-failed report remains
failed; subsequent independent cleanup deleted all three owned resources
with exact 404s and confirmed full intended-account inventory with zero
owned resources. |
| Verified adoption preparation (`64c0b746`) | 91 focused cases pass,
including actual preparation for four active providers and a distinct
prior/current warm proof. Unproved resumed state, dead process and stale
warm owner remain rejected. The earlier options-only fixture missed this
gate. No spawn, backup restore or PRP-authentication bypass was added.
Server typecheck passes. |
| Active warm identity (`64c0b746`) | **FAIL.** B claimed generation 2
at 312,995 ms. Preparation passed, then strict PRP recovery rejected the
generated attachment IDs at about 319 s. The saved and desired Runner,
lease, normalized session and run IDs matched; only
`turn_attachment_…`/`item_attachment_…` differed from generated
`turn-<run>`/`item-<run>`. Canonical 0/1 cleanup-failed report remains
failed; independent cleanup confirmed deletion/404s and zero owned
provider resources. |
| Six-field identity repair (`7a203274`) | Actual server-factory
regression RED4→GREEN38. A real Rust Runner test passes healthy first
run → random-ID warm handoff → held active second run → restored
controller. It verifies a new live authenticated connection, exact
identity, same Runner/provider OS identities, no duplicate launch/turn,
and no redispatch or invented receipt for an uncertain tool. The
synthetic wrong pair still fails the unchanged guard. This protocol case
does not claim business completion. Server and Runner typechecks pass. |
| Active recovery/completion (`7a203274`) | **PASS for the active
component.** Full five-minute SIGKILL/cache-loss hold. B ready at
308,936.651 ms; natural generation 2 observed 312,979 ms; authenticated
at 317,720 ms and resumed processing at 318,527 ms. Same run
`1e1ccb00-0728-4935-97da-57562d81cb42`, Runner
`246f73f7-a689-4177-a9c2-7ce711d63aed`, remote PID 669/start
23:48:27.470, provider lease/session and one submitted turn. Accepted
result `49097529-5310-4ac3-af95-5bf9b91d19f4`, publication, finalization
and accounting v2 all settled. |
| Full workflow (`7a203274`) | **FAIL, preserved.** Queued
late-requirement run `5e61f38d-c7d1-4fc1-bcbf-bce9d46ce4eb` failed
`runner did not durably suspend before checkpoint` before outage 2.
Canonical 0/1 candidate failure, cleanup passed, evidence valid. C
retention was not exercised. Independent provider absence,
controllers/PG cleanup, EC2 termination and root-volume absence all
confirmed; closed receipt SHA-256
`676a3b15eb9937b6bf995c36fb8666c88964d509e5ceb9109fb02da0aa2bc909`. |
| Retirement and stable configuration (`39a4343`) | Real Runner +
Postgres RED reproduced the exact suspension failure and nine owner
rejections. `turn.stop` is now lifecycle checkpoint maintenance under
unchanged owner/result/generation fences. GREEN25/25 proves actual
persisted suspension, exact identity and completed stop/drain/suspend;
unaccepted, foreign, stale and new-work negatives remain rejected. Two
default-home fingerprint REDs become GREEN9/9; explicit mode changes
still invalidate. No global matching exemption or historical fingerprint
rewrite. |
| Fresh full Daytona warm cell (`39a4343`) | **FAIL, preserved.**
Launched 00:15:29 UTC with automatic retries disabled. Active adoption
passed: actual offline hold 300,000.848 ms; B ready 309,922.155 ms;
natural generation 2 at 311,821 ms; authenticated 317,989 ms; resumed
330,440 ms. Same run `3e126819-e786-4b3b-b923-c975cf4f5b79`, Runner
`4079138a-8d7c-44a4-8558-07a5411d1f55`, PID 668/start and
provider/session identities. Accepted result
`08e504af-4dec-48a8-bf05-bf0a32280559` and publication passed. Queued
run `31d168c9-7ab9-4700-abb6-fafb90912237` failed the same strict
suspension error before outage 2. Its row selected a new native
identity, but no new third provider process or invocation was observed.
Recovery-time configuration still reset only `adapterConfig`; native
provider, context and workspace subtrees were unchanged. Canonical 0/1
candidate failure, evidence valid, normal cleanup passed; all campaign
provider/PG/process resources independently absent. Closed campaign
receipt SHA-256
`5e7d6281c13c812f3a946667f97f3c7d339b5ad86a3a819bd185b2fa73bc4a19`;
EC2/SSH remain temporarily held for the concrete follow-up repair.
Original 60/300/420-second limits and strict queued/second-replacement
checks remain unchanged. Direct-process path; no new live prepared-task
claim. |
| Native retirement authority (`283e05ffaa`) | Exact `39a4343` facade
regression RED3→GREEN9. The successor now uses its existing production
coordinator claim and prompt renewal before strict retirement. A real
Runner/Postgres case starts in the actual native-observed/unclaimed
phase, claims through production code, then closes and durably suspends
the predecessor in 1.657 s. All 25 real-Postgres cases pass;
unclaimed/foreign writers remain rejected. Shared attachment staging
stays after retirement; Stop and denied claims neither close nor stage.
No new claim or SQL path was added. |
| Configuration continuity (`283e05ffaa`) | Real shared/project-primary
environment selection → configuration with four skill versions
reproduces `reset: true`, changed category exactly `adapterConfig`,
after a Postgres JSONB read. Pinned restoration had reordered the
generated preference while actual runtime skills stayed identical.
Replacing existing pinned rows in place preserves the original fresh
name/key order and fingerprint. The assembled regression passes, as do
three existing pinned-version/rename/alias cases and server typecheck.
Genuine model/skill-selection changes still invalidate. No
fingerprint-format change or broad compatibility exemption. |
| Final production repair (`283e05ffaa`) | Full recursive
typecheck/build and [normal
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41151145106)
PASS: 48 jobs plus one expected skip. Fresh review 5/5, zero unresolved
threads. Live baseline, recovered run and queued continuation all
succeeded, each accepted/published/committed once with accounting v2
settled. Their native/provider identities and configuration fingerprint
match; both recovery and continuation report no reset, no changed
categories and task-session reuse. Active outage/authentication remains
within original timing. |
| Browser-dependent continuation (`283e05ffaa`, definition 6) | **Whole
cell FAIL, preserved.** After B was killed at 00:46:38.928 and its cache
discarded, C became ready in 9,151.410 ms. `openParent()` then hit a
30-second `page.goto`/DOMContentLoaded timeout before posting the final
request. No fourth native run or C continuation was exercised. Cause of
navigation timeout is unknown. C task had no execution lock, queued
comments, handoff or recovery blocker; all three prior runs were
committed/accounted. Normal cleanup passed; independent provider
absence, controller/PG cleanup, EC2 termination and exact root-volume
absence confirmed. Sanitized report bundle SHA-256
`2a3b841d62efb2ae30ef14f96a431ac4fa7fe3a782f1144831512f78edc65022`. |
| Native API continuation qualification (`9eb9ac6f9e`, definition 7) |
**FAIL, preserved.** The real post-C API request dispatched run
`c71fbb18-f979-4fe4-93ce-9c4be46dbf21`, which failed
`native_session_interrupted` / `native_session_recovery_failed` at
01:10:00.640 UTC. It selected the same normalized native identity,
Runner and checkpoint-provider identity as the three succeeded turns. No
C result was accepted; pending accounting remains explicit. Active
recovery passed: actual offline hold 300,001.098 ms, B ready 308,335.019
ms, natural generation 2 observed 311,818 ms, authenticated 315,540 ms,
resumed 316,612 ms. Queued continuation succeeded/accepted/published. B
was then killed/cache discarded at 01:09:34.500 and C ready in 8,783.803
ms. Original classifier `transient_infrastructure`, whole-case failure
and cleanup passed are unchanged; that classifier does not establish the
root cause. All owned provider/PG/process resources, EC2, root volume
and SSH agent independently absent. Closed receipt SHA-256

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

</details>

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 0e15c92073 feat(skills): make managed content independent of web-server disk (#18334)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents use installed skills and exact version pins during execution.
> - Managed skills still depended on mutable directories on the web
server.
> - A replacement server could lose acknowledged edits or remove an
unassigned skill whose directory was absent.
> - This pull request makes immutable versions the authority for managed
content and installed repository reads.
> - The server can rebuild delivery files from durable content after
replacement.
> - This establishes skills readiness for ephemeral web servers. General
server draining and workspace recovery remain separate work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Skills services, shared contracts, database receipts, Skill Studio, and
runtime delivery.

**Problem or motivation**

A fresh web server must discover, read, edit, and deliver protected
installed skills using the same database, object storage, secrets, and
supported application artifacts. It must not need its predecessor's
files or process memory.

**Proposed solution**

Use `managed` ownership with a null source locator. Read installed
content by immutable version. Prepare packages before a short
publication transaction. Persist execution selections before
materialization. Recover exact pinned runtime assets and reject deletion
while active or recovering pins exist.

**Alternatives considered**

Reconstructing a mutable installed directory preserves the old
source-of-truth ambiguity. Permanent dual writes create two competing
authorities. This change uses one managed model after a bounded legacy
conversion.

**Roadmap alignment**

This improves the existing Skills Manager, Studio, version history, and
Cloud execution capabilities. The maintainer supplied the implementation
contract. This does not add a separate skills product or deploy fleet
changes.

Related work: #18082 supplies immutable package storage. #17273
addresses edits outside the API for linked local skills; this PR keeps
that source category separate. #2648 is a closed earlier
ephemeral-filesystem proposal.

## What Changed

- Add managed ownership and focused content publication and execution
materialization modules. Keep the archive format and package storage
tables.
- Publish managed create, save, delete, fork, rename, restore, and
catalog content with version checks. Add durable create receipts.
Preserve file-save receipt responses.
- Return file version identities. Keep Studio drafts after a conflict
and provide an explicit reload action. A delayed reload cannot overwrite
newer typing or navigation.
- Persist exact runtime selections, including empty selections. Rebuild
pinned assets and verify their admitted digests on a replacement server.
- Preserve source access on forks and disconnected copies. Keep the
existing workspace policy category for managed skills.
- Add bounded conversion, eligibility, and independent verification
phases. Load persisted Cloud configuration in the standalone CLI without
seeding or changing it. Reject partial current versions against
installed inventories; recover only complete saved content or the exact
source. Document storage migration blockers and the compatible rollback
floor.
- Add separate-process PostgreSQL/S3 qualification and update domain,
retention, policy, and UI regressions.
- Pass the plugin worker manager into Studio execution, admit restricted
`skill_test` mode through native Runner contracts, and preserve admitted
scope across native and REST tools. Native tests cannot create ordinary
tasks, browse company data, or use external tools.
- Select the exact durable Studio revision even when unassigned or Beta
skills is off. Persist Studio output and audit atomically with native
task completion, preserving the result on replay.

## Verification

- Final revision `13e8af480b88ba6fea5737bac4bd81104d604792` passed full
CI: all 49 workflow jobs completed successfully ([run
41127396098](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41127396098)).
This includes typecheck, test suites, Runner checks, browser checks and
build. Greptile review 15 is 5/5 on that same revision, with zero
unresolved threads. The PR is ready for review.
- Local workspace typecheck and build passed after integrating master.
Focused checks passed: 33 execution/completion cases, 52 Runner HTTP
cases, 16 managed-content cases, 17 Studio cases, the new real-process
CLI regression, map checks and UI token gates. The CLI regression proves
inspection does not seed missing Cloud configuration. Server typecheck
passed after that fix.
- The independent-process PostgreSQL/S3 matrix passed through normal
HTTP skill routes. It covers A → B → C replacement, lost commit
responses, upload crashes, concurrent saves, binary contents and
executable delivery. Metadata listing and warm selected delivery retain
zero object downloads. Local timing measurements are recorded; they do
not establish hosted latency.
- Hosted A → B → C passed on the owned disposable test tenant with
external Postgres, S3 and a real remote Paperclip Computer. Predecessor
temporary homes were absent. C read and executed B's acknowledged
managed save. New runs used repository v1 while v2 was installed. Hashes
matched an independently checked exact upstream commit.
- Compatible image rollback to `6518b323` passed. Studio retained the
unassigned fork's C save. A fresh remote run executed the newer managed
content and historical repository pin. The actual shell event confirmed
expected hashes, stdout, exit 0 and mode 0555.
- Runtime candidate `9200e3fcb4` deployed successfully ([Cloud run
41124147876](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/actions/runs/41124147876)).
The final Studio test delivered only the unassigned fork's exact v3,
executed its script and persisted a successful output snapshot.
Independent command-event inspection confirmed all three hashes, stdout,
exit 0 and mode 0555. All 14 installations were version-backed.
Independent verification checked all 25 versions: 23 remote objects, two
bundled database snapshots, zero blockers.
- The deployed image is `9200e3fcb4`. Later master integration, the
client-only delayed-reload draft guard and the CLI bootstrap have
separate automated proof. The CLI bootstrap was also exercised against
the tenant's stored configuration and storage through the same read-only
services. This PR does not claim that the deployed image is the final PR
revision.
- Live Studio checks exposed worker wiring, admission, access scope,
exact selection and completion-publication gaps. They are fixed. Failed
attempts remain in the evidence. The full local suite exceeded 80
minutes under host contention and was stopped. Later combined/isolated
local attempts also timed out; they are not counted as passes. Full CI
covers the integrated suites. Earlier CI found an obsolete restart-scope
fixture, which was corrected and passed all 52 HTTP cases.
- Reproduction and migration:
[`doc/skill-ephemeral-web-servers.md`](doc/skill-ephemeral-web-servers.md).
Source revisions, deployments, versions, run IDs, hashes and failure
history:
[`doc/plans/2026-10-30-ephemeral-web-skills.md`](doc/plans/2026-10-30-ephemeral-web-skills.md).

## Risks

- Legacy conversion requires stopped admission and retired
filesystem-authoritative writers. Pre-conversion binaries are not
supported rollback targets afterward.
- Cloud readiness requires remote object storage. Local provider
receipts and provider mismatches remain blockers until objects are
copied and verified.
- Linked local sources retain filesystem semantics and are outside the
cloud guarantee.
- Cold reads still fetch the existing archive format. Warm runtime
preparation retains the verified-cache path.
- Bundled reconciliation preserves an installed head. Existing release
snapshots remain selectable. An older server must not replace a newer
head with its shipped files.
- No production volumes, fleet defaults, or general deployment
coordination change in this PR.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser use. The exact backend model ID and
context-window size are not exposed in this session. No subagents were
used.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 6174b4d7c8 fix(runner): allow session reset after confirmed task retirement (#18373)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native warm sessions retain a Runner owner between turns.
> - Closing that owner must stop execution and preserve valid recovery
state.
> - A failed suspension can leave a rejected close promise after the
task has stopped.
> - A session reset then retries that same promise and blocks every
fresh session.
> - This PR separates task retirement proof from checkpoint reuse for a
new session.
> - A reset can proceed after exact stop proof, completed handoff, and
file collection.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18011. That change preserves checkpoint authority during warm
preparation. This change handles a stopped owner whose checkpoint cannot
be reused. Related: #14695 covers managed files retained with warm
processes. A search found no duplicate stopped-owner reset fix.

**What happened?**

A warm Runner can stop and complete its task handoff while close reports
`runner did not durably suspend before checkpoint`. The transport caches
that rejected close promise. Core retains the warm owner. Each session
reset retries the same promise before it can launch a provider. A
controller restart clears the in-memory owner and permits recovery.

**Expected behavior**

A reset to a new normalized session should release the old owner when
its exact task has proved that execution stopped and its handoff
completed. Core must collect stopped instruction files before it admits
the new session. An unconfirmed owner must continue to block
replacement.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Complete a warm native run through a plugin task provider.
2. Change configuration so Core retires the warm owner.
3. Let the task stop and complete, but fail durable suspension proof.
Close keeps its rejected promise.
4. Reset the session and start another run on the same task environment.
5. Observe the old close error before any new provider work starts.

## What Changed

- Keep a lease-bound retirement receipt in the plugin task owner. It
requires `executionStopped: true` and successful task completion after
credential handoff.
- Accept an unrecoverable suspension error only during retirement for a
different normalized session, with that exact owner's receipt and
settled Core tool results.
- Collect stopped instruction files before releasing the warm owner.
Preserve old checkpoint evidence.
- Keep same-session, active-owner, incomplete-handoff, unrelated-owner,
unresolved Core tool results, and other close-error fences.
- Report Core tool settlement on the close error after ingress
retirement and drain. Default missing proof to false. Expose the error
through the server's Runner shim. Add regression tests and document the
recovery boundary.

## Verification

- The reset regression fails with the new handling disabled and passes
with it enabled.
- Both affected suites passed: 1,032 tests. The final 15 focused
owner/reset cases pass after adding the tool-settlement guard.
- The assembled regression uses the real task-owner and backend binding.
Its controlled task provider proves stop and completion. Close returns
the same rejected promise on every call.
- Negative cases cover incomplete handoff, other close errors,
same-session continuation, provider change with the same session ID,
unrelated receipts, unresolved Core tool results, and failed file
collection. Collection can later succeed without replaying stop or
reading the old checkpoint.
- Five real-process transport cases pass. They cover an insufficient
suspension deadline, the cached rejected promise, late tool completion
within and beyond the deadline, interruption, and result-persistence
failure. Unsettled callbacks produce `semanticToolsSettled: false`.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed with the repository's pinned Rust toolchain
on PATH. After the final contract change, Runner TypeScript build and
server `tsc --noEmit` passed.
- The local full-suite run was stopped at the requester's direction.
Full regression and build coverage are delegated to GitHub CI.
- Full GitHub CI passed on `ef0040d80af679ce6d4a130468e15f75678c1f4c`.
Standard Greptile reviewed the same commit: 5/5, zero comments. Apex
then reviewed that same commit: 5/5, zero comments. Final checks confirm
no unresolved review threads and no merge conflicts.
- Initial full CI on `00c002fd5a` failed one scheduled-retry route test
at 18/20 cancellations. Controlled cancellation latency reproduced the
short poll-budget failure. Before the next cycle, master advanced with
#18322, which coordinates that test at the first completed batch. The
separate local timeout commit was dropped during rebase. The upstream
test passes locally. The rebased run passed 46 targeted owner/reset and
scheduled-retry route cases. This PR has no scheduled-retry source or
test diff.
- No deployed provider run or tenant rollout is claimed by these source
tests.

## Risks

The exception applies only to a new normalized session and an exact
completed plugin task. The old checkpoint remains evidence and cannot
authorize reuse through this path. The original suspension failure can
remain visible on its run. This fix prevents repeated startup failures
after a reset; it does not hide unconfirmed cleanup or make every
suspension succeed. Missing task receipts and failed file collection
continue to block replacement. No schema migration, plugin protocol
change, Rust Runner binary change, or new polling is required. Tests use
a controlled task boundary; they do not certify every external provider
implementation.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with tool use and local code execution. The
exact runtime model ID and context-window size are not exposed in this
session.
