DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e620ce3678 fix(heartbeat): deliver each accepted follow-up exactly once through restarts and admission holds (#19741)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A user can comment, click Retry, or rely on automatic recovery while
an agent works on a task
> - Restart-chaos waves showed accepted follow-ups being dropped, or
delivered twice, around restarts and temporary company admission holds
(accounting still settling after a restart)
> - A dropped comment means the user's request is never acted on. A
duplicate reopens work that is already done
> - This pull request makes accepted work wait through a temporary hold
and resume when it clears. It also stops a comment from being promoted
again after a completed run already received it
> - The benefit is that each accepted follow-up is delivered exactly
once, eventually, unless the task is cancelled or a reached hard stop
applies

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19702 (never-started tasks during a temporary hold), #19700
(bounded accounting hold), #14910 (stale reopen from a deferred wake; no
file overlap).

**What happened?**
Restart-chaos waves found these shapes:
1. **Comment wake cancelled.** A comment was saved behind a run and
promoted when the run ended. A temporary company hold refused the
unstarted queued run, and claim cancelled it terminally. The recovery
wake that followed was cancelled the same way, and the task rested
`blocked` without the comment.
2. **Dead Retry.** A Retry click during the hold stayed
`deferred_issue_execution` after the hold cleared. Nothing woke it, and
the issue held no execution lock.
3. **Refused assignment.** A new task's first wake was refused during
the hold. Nothing woke stranded-work recovery when the hold cleared, so
the task stayed `todo` with no run.
4. **Silent comment after recovery.** A comment was saved behind a run
that restart recovery finalized. A company-scoped hint waited out the 30
s deferred-receipt rescan, so the task looked done with the message
unread.
5. **Comment delivered twice.** A run whose provider process was lost
had a saved comment. Its retry started after the comment, received it in
its prompt (task history), did the work, and finished the task. The
saved wake was then promoted anyway, which reopened the done task.

**Expected behavior**
An accepted follow-up (comment, Retry, recovery) is delivered exactly
once, eventually, unless the task is cancelled. A temporary refusal
never ends in a terminal cancel, skip, or block. Reaching a hard stop
remains the board's decision.

## What Changed

- `heartbeat/queue.ts`: on a budget block at claim, an unstarted queued
run stays queued when the block is temporary. A reached hard stop or
blocked unpriced usage still cancels it.
- `recovery/service.ts`: stranded-work recovery waits out a temporary
hold for any task. It does not escalate to `blocked`. This extends
#19702 beyond never-started tasks.
- `budget-block-ownership.ts`: a shared `isBoardOwnedBudgetBlock`, moved
out of the recovery service. `budgets.ts` is unchanged.
- `run-cost-accounting.ts`: settling a run's accounting wakes queued-run
dispatch, the deferred-receipt worker, and stranded-work recovery. Held
work waits passively; this is what resumes it.
- `deferred-execution-notifications.ts`: new
`notifyDeferredWakesForIssue`. `native-run-projection.ts` (a run
reaching a terminal status) and `environments.ts` (lease release) now
hint each saved wake of the issue by id, so delivery does not wait out
the company rescan interval.
- `wake-queue/adapters/postgres.ts`: release treats a saved comment as
delivered only when a succeeded run of the wake's agent on that issue
started after the comment's latest revision, and either received the
comment as its own wake input (`wakeCommentIds`) or was a retry of the
interrupted turn whose task history included it. In that case it cancels
the saved wake with "Queued messages were already delivered to a
completed run" and leaves the task as it is. Task history alone never
consumes a message saved for its own turn. One query checks the whole
batch.
- `run-cost-accounting.ts`: settling late receipt debt also sends the
hold-release notifications.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: documents the rule.

## Verification

Red on `master` and green with this change, on embedded Postgres:
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-held-comment-wake.test.ts`:
- A promoted comment refused by the hold stays pending, with no
cancelled run and no `blocked` task. It is delivered once after the hold
clears through real `accountRunCost`.
- A Retry clicked during the hold starts exactly once after accounting
settles, which wakes its owner.
- A new task whose assignment was refused during the hold starts once
accounting settles, which wakes stranded-work recovery.
- A comment that a later succeeded retry already received as history, or
that a later run received as wake input, is consumed without reopening
the task.
- Guard tests (green on both):
- A comment is still delivered in each of these cases: the later run
never received it, it was edited after that run started, it was posted
while the run was already running, or a non-retry run only saw it as
history.
  - A task whose continuation was refused waits out the hold.
  - A reached hard stop is still refused.
- `server/src/__tests__/native-run-projection-work.test.ts`: projecting
a recovered run terminal hints the saved comment's own wake (red on
`master`).
- Related suites pass locally (14 files, 482 tests): wake-queue, queued
comments routes, refused assignment wake, native run projection.
- Live replays (local, unmasked, kept instances):
- `--replay w-20261107T031005-s7501/t04` (Claude C1, K1): PASS. The
comment's run was created at 03:56:24 during the hold, stayed queued,
started at 04:06:24 when the hold cleared, and succeeded. It is the only
run carrying the comment.
- `--replay w-20261107T002911-s7401/t01` (before the per-wake hint): it
reproduced shape 4. Run 592d772f was killed 250 ms after
`run.result.accepted`, released and finalized at restart, and the task
rested `done` with the comment still saved. Calling the existing sweep
on the kept database promoted it, which confirmed that the missing piece
was the trigger.

## Risks

- A queued run can now sit queued for the length of a temporary hold,
which #19700 bounds. It does not hold the issue's execution lock, so
later comments still coalesce into it.
- The delivered-comment rule depends on the run's recorded prompt
context. A succeeded run that received the comment in its history counts
as delivery, even if the agent did not act on it. This matches
exactly-once delivery semantics.
- Settling accounting now emits three extra notifications per run. They
are coalesced per company.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, run as an agent in
Claude Code with tool use (shell, file editing, local test execution,
live restart-chaos replays).

DottaandPaperclip 18b6b71d83 fix(native): refresh per-turn projections from the selected checkpoint (#19744)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Per-turn native sessions save controller checkpoints and suspended
Runner backups under separate owners.
> - A local controller projection can still name the first turn after
the next turn has saved its checkpoint and backup.
> - The old per-turn restore path selected that stale local reference
instead of the newer canonical source.
> - Admission then saw different turn identities and archived the valid
backup with the old projection.
> - This change uses the canonical selected checkpoint and the existing
finished-owner proof before it replaces a stale projection.
> - The benefit is that a third turn keeps the valid saved conversation
and backup.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

After two successful per-turn remote runs, a third turn could fail
before provider execution with unavailable provider resume state. The
selected database checkpoint and suspended backup belonged to the second
run. The local controller projection still belonged to the first run.

**Expected behavior**

The selected checkpoint must govern controller rehydration. Preserve the
older projection and the selected run's backup. Do not overwrite
current, newer, foreign, changed or unsettled ownership evidence.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Save two real controller checkpoints for one per-turn conversation
and finish both owners.
2. Leave the first checkpoint's readable projection or external marker
beside the second run's suspended backup.
3. Admit the third run through the real canonical selector and backend
owner.
4. Before this change, admission archives the active backup with the
stale projection and leaves no active controller state.

Related: #18018 added per-turn controller restoration. #18718 refreshed
warm projections. #18846 added finished-owner retirement. This change
keeps the selected per-turn source from entering that retirement path
because of an older projection. The open warm-only change #18436
concerns a different restart branch.

## What Changed

- Resolve the canonical source before refreshing a prior per-turn
controller projection.
- Re-read it under the existing sorted coordinator locks. Replacing an
older owner reuses finished-owner checks for both runs and verifies
their full session scope. A same-source marker only rehydrates its exact
selected identity before the normal retained-sandbox verification.
- Recheck the exact initial local bytes after asynchronous reads and
lock waits. Preserve the old control-plane directory in the existing
archive, while keeping the newer backup and provider files active.
- Restore a current-run external marker only from its own checkpoint
before the existing bootstrap retry proof. A missing current checkpoint
cannot select a previous turn. Retain readable current-run, legacy
file-backed, backup integrity and provider resume checks.
- Stage the existing OpenCode proxy bytes into the controlled
fake-sandbox filesystem in the real ingress-retry fixture. Keep remote
artifact path and digest checks unchanged.
- Add real PostgreSQL/filesystem coverage for Codex and ACPX, readable
projections and external markers, missing or corrupt parts, held owners,
foreign scope, newer history and a current owner arriving during a real
coordinator-lock wait.

## Verification

- Baseline RED: the two new readable-projection cases failed against
unchanged production code because active control-plane state was absent
after admission. The real selector selected the second run. Setup
failures were separate and are not counted as RED.
- Exact final existing per-turn restore, active-owner refresh and
retained-owner wait controls: 19/19 passed in 5.91s.
- Exact final local source (`fd8d9d9021`, based on `131b566ca4`): 58/58
real PostgreSQL/filesystem and native Runner tests passed in 31.58s.
This includes both existing ingress bootstrap retries through the real
Runner and fake Codex/OpenCode providers, plus 56 focused owner cases.
Cargo validated and rebuilt current source from a private APFS clone of
an unqualified local cache; the original cache was untouched. A private
local configuration resolves workspace DB, Shared and Runner sources
without replacing behavior. The local CLI allowed a 90s setup hook; no
default timeout changed.
- Exact final full server and test-tree TypeScript check with Runner
source paths: passed. The stock fresh-worktree check first failed on
unbuilt Runner declaration entries; no product types were changed to
hide that setup gap.
- Exact final module-boundary and diff-whitespace checks: passed.
- Native-server CI RED on the previous head: both real ingress retry
cases failed because a current-run marker was returned without
hydration. The aggregate gate failed from that one underlying lane. The
correction preserves the own-checkpoint bootstrap path. The first local
OpenCode attempt hit a controller-host fixture path guard before its
intended failure; staging the same proxy bytes into the fake sandbox
made both native cases pass.
- Review regression RED: the real retained-sandbox fixture failed at
`sandbox_resumed` on the first PR head. GREEN: the corrected owner
hydrates the same-source marker and reaches the existing exact
retained-lease/suspended-runner read. A mismatched item identity still
refuses before any remote read.
- Local environment: macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, PostgreSQL 18.1. Provider
execution is deliberately outside this admission fixture. The real
three-turn workflow still needs verification on the normally deployed
fixed source.

## Risks

- Refresh requires settled, committed, released and stopped or fenced
owners. Missing or changed evidence remains blocked.
- The refresh holds existing coordinator locks while it validates
bounded controller state. It performs no provider calls.
- The old control-plane bytes remain in the archive. A restore write
failure still fails admission; it does not reset provider state.
- Final-head full CI is green, including typecheck, build, Rust,
native-server, server and browser suites; Greptile is 5/5 with no
unresolved threads. Hosted deployment and continuity verification remain
separate acceptance steps. A successful replacement conversation is not
proof of provider continuity; hosted continuity acceptance is still
pending.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with code execution and repository tools.
The host does not expose the exact backend model ID or context-window
size.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 9f0ebf6f70 fix(accounting): close a run whose turn was lost on restore, and stop succeeded runs holding all work (#19724)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Budgets hold new work while the cost of completed runs is unknown
> - In a restart chaos wave, a native ACPX Claude run crossed a server
kill, resumed, and succeeded. Its usage receipt never became complete.
> - For the 10-minute closure bound, admission refused all work in the
company. This included tasks that never crossed a fault.
> - This pull request fixes the receipt for a turn that was lost on
restore. It also stops a succeeded run from holding all new work.
> - The benefit: one late usage report no longer freezes a company, and
hard stops still apply.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19700 (the accounting closure bound that this follows).

**What happened?**
A native ACPX Claude run crossed a server SIGKILL in the middle of a
turn. The Runner restored the session, and the run succeeded 54 seconds
after it started. All 17 usage receipts stayed incomplete. Accounting
settled the run only at the 10-minute closure bound. During those 10
minutes, admission refused all company work with "Company cannot start
work while completed runs await accounting".

**Root cause**
ACPX reports provisional usage (`runDeltaComplete: false`) until a turn
ends. The kill lost the turn that was active, so that turn never got a
complete report. The restored Runner failed that turn with
`provider_turn_lost_on_restore`. Native turn accounting
(`createNativeTurnAccounting`) required every terminal turn to have
usage, so this turn kept every later receipt incomplete. This was true
even after the continuation turn completed with full usage. The
admission gate then counted the succeeded run as a pending terminal run
for the whole company.

**Expected behavior**
The receipt closes when the run's turns end. A turn that was lost on
restore makes the usage a lower bound. A succeeded run with only usage
outstanding does not hold other work.

## What Changed

- `native-usage-accounting.ts`: a turn that failed with
`provider_turn_lost_on_restore` and has no complete usage no longer
holds the receipt open. The snapshot marks `accountingUsageLost`.
- `native-session-executor.ts` and `native-usage-delivery.ts`: such a
receipt carries the provenance note "a provider turn was lost on restore
and never reported its usage; observed usage is a lower bound".
- `anthropic-pricing.ts` and `codex-pricing.ts`: the rate-card pricers
keep a producer's provenance note.
- `native-usage-delivery.ts` and `usage-receipts.ts`: remote producer
delivery keeps a `lostOnRestore` marker on the receipt's producer event,
so replay also excuses the lost turn. Receipts saved without the marker
still replay.
- `budget-exposure.ts` and `budgets.ts`: admission waits only for
pending runs that ended without succeeding (`waitingRunCount`). A
succeeded run whose provider reported observed usage is bounded like a
running run: its observed cost counts toward spend and reservation
capacity, and its settled charge can still reach the hard stop.
- `budget-exposure.ts`: a closure that timed out because of a
control-plane restart keeps the unpriced-usage exemptions, whatever its
token count. Restart evidence is a replaced receipt source, a native
recovery transition that is not an ordinary same-run retry, or a turn
lost on restore. A second chaos run showed the need. It recovered and
succeeded, but its final usage report was lost with the restart, so it
settled as unpriced 0 cents. The blocking policy then opened a hard
incident and paused the company. A timed-out closure with no restart
evidence still counts.
- `run-cost-accounting.ts`: a lost receipt that carries a positive
provider-reported cost settles at that cost as an estimate marked as a
lower bound, not as unpriced.
- `paperclip-runner-tool-authority.ts` and `budgets.ts`: a running run's
own tool mutations are evaluated as admitted work. Hard stops and pauses
still refuse them. Accounting holds, recovering runs and budget inputs
that await evaluation do not. In a third chaos run, a live run's write
to its task document was refused during a temporary hold, so the run
proposed a blocked result.
- `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`: documents these rules.

Policy choice: a succeeded run's provider work is over, so it has less
unknown spend than a running run. Running runs never held admission.
Failed, cancelled, timed-out and interrupted runs still hold new work,
because their provider may not have stopped. A per-agent gate would
still freeze unrelated work of the same agent. A per-reservation gate
does not help when `reservationCents` is 0, which was the case in this
wave.

## Verification

- Live: a restart chaos wave ran master plus this PR (c2a48fb1e0) with
no masking. It passed 6/6, and every task crossed a restart. There were
0 accounting holds, 0 refused agent writes, 0 company pauses, and every
cost settled as estimated.

- Red then green: `native-usage-accounting.test.ts`, "closes a run whose
earlier turn was lost on restore, as a lower bound". It uses the event
sequence of the chaos run.
- Red then green: `closed-native-receipt-accounting.test.ts`, "does not
hold other work for a succeeded run with only usage outstanding". It
also checks that the hard stop still applies.
- I changed "neither pauses nor holds admission while a succeeded run's
charge commits" to the new policy. A failed run in the same state still
holds new work.
- Red then green: `closed-native-receipt-accounting.test.ts`, "never
hard-stops a blocking policy for a restart-derived timed-out receipt".
It uses the zero-token row shape of the chaos run and a case with
unpriced tokens. Without the fix, the company was paused.
- Red then green: `runner-api.integration.test.ts`, "lets a running run
write during a temporary accounting hold, but not after a hard stop".
- Red then green: `closed-native-receipt-accounting.test.ts`, "does not
hold other work for the s7504 succeeded row shape".
- Red then green: `closed-native-receipt-accounting.test.ts`, "settles a
timed-out restart receipt at its provider-reported cost, without holding
or pausing". It uses the OpenCode/OpenRouter row shape from a fourth
chaos run.
- `anthropic-pricing.test.ts`: the rate-card provenance keeps the
lower-bound note.
- Local: `closed-native-receipt-accounting`, the budget suites,
`native-usage-accounting`, `native-usage-delivery.integration`,
`native-runner-restart-recovery.integration` and `anthropic-pricing` all
pass (187 tests). Server `tsc --noEmit` is clean. `pnpm verify` asks for
CI coverage because the spec changed.

## Risks

- A succeeded run whose final charge is higher than its observed cost
can let one more task start before the charge commits. The hard stop
then pauses the scope as it does for a running run that overruns.
- A run that includes a lost turn settles with a lower-bound usage
figure. The provenance says so, and a later receipt still reconciles
through the late-receipt path.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 4dc5281f51 fix(ui): offer the owner-stop confirmation for retained saved-work recovery (#19742)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run saves the agent's files after its turn (copyback). One
controller owns copyback and records an owner receipt on the run
> - #19721 made retained saved-work recovery stop spending attempts when
a restart killed that owner. It records the receipt as
`workspaceOwnerRecovery.state = "operator_required"`, and a waiting
Retry reports `workspace_owner_stop_required`
> - #19717 added one task control, **Confirm the previous server
stopped**, for the direct finalization hold. That control did not cover
the retained hold, so the task told the board to confirm but offered
nothing to click
> - This pull request shows the same control for the retained hold, with
the recorded receipt token
> - The benefit is that every copyback-owner hold has exactly one
visible action, and the waiting Retry then continues by itself

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19721 (retained hold, server side), #19717 (the confirmation
control).

**What happened?**
The retained recovery action named the stopped copyback owner, and the
task's Retry said "Retry is waiting for a board member to confirm that
the previous server stopped copying files". No control called the
confirmation route for this state.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Retained saved-work recovery owns copyback for a finished run.
2. A restart kills the controller while it owns copyback, on another
host or without automatic stop proof.
3. Open the task.

**Expected behavior**
The task shows one **Confirm the previous server stopped** action to an
owner or administrator. It sends the recorded receipt token to
`resume-workspace-finalization`.

**Actual behavior**
The task shows only the retained file-recovery controls. The token is in
`evidence.workspaceOwnerRecovery.owner`, which the #19717 control did
not read.

## What Changed

- `WorkspaceExportRecovery`: when a retained export action has
`workspaceOwnerRecovery.state = "operator_required"` and no recorded
confirmation, render the existing confirmation control with that
receipt's token, in place of the retained file-recovery controls. After
the confirmation (state `resuming`), the ordinary retained controls
return.
- The confirmation control now takes the owner token as a prop, so the
direct hold (`evidence.owner`) and the retained hold
(`evidence.workspaceOwnerRecovery.owner`) share it.
- Docs: one sentence in `doc/native-workspace-finalization-recovery.md`.
- There are no server changes. The route already dispatches the retained
path (#19721).

## Verification

- Red then green: the new test "offers the same action for retained
saved-work recovery held by a stopped copyback owner" fails against
master's component and passes with this change. It checks that the
request body carries the retained receipt token, that the host name is
not shown, and that the retained controls return after `resuming`.
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/WorkspaceExportRecovery` (35
passed).
- `pnpm check:token-gates` clean. UI typecheck clean.

## Risks

- Low. The change is UI only. The server rechecks the receipt, the hold
state and `runtime:confirm_owner_stop`.
- While the hold is active, the "Recover saved files" control is hidden.
It cannot release the receipt, so hiding it removes a futile action.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 464e6e16e0 fix(native): resume copyback after a restart kills its same-host owner; one board action otherwise (#19717)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs save the agent's workspace files after the provider turn
finishes (copyback)
> - One controller owns copyback at a time. The run records that owner
in `runnerProfileJson.nativeWorkspaceFinalizationOwner` (host, PID,
token)
> - A control-plane restart can kill the controller during copyback. The
dead controller can never confirm its own stop
> - Recovery then waited for a board confirmation. No surface offered
that confirmation, so the run stayed `running` and the task stayed
`in_progress` with no visible action
> - This pull request lets the next controller on the same host prove
the stop by itself. It also gives the board one clear action when that
proof is not possible
> - The benefit is that a restart during copyback resumes by itself, and
a task never waits silently for a person

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
In a Daytona restart-chaos wave, a kill during workspace copyback left
the run `running` and its task `in_progress`. Recovery reported
`native_workspace_finalization_owner_unverified`. The run was still
`running` when the wave timed out.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native remote (sandbox) run.
2. Kill the control-plane process (SIGKILL) after the provider result is
accepted, during copyback.
3. Restart the control plane on the same host.

**Expected behavior**
If the previous controller and its copyback children are proven stopped
on this host, recovery resumes copyback without a new agent turn.
Otherwise, the task shows one board action to confirm that the previous
server stopped.

**Actual behavior**
The recorded owner was cleared only by
`resumeNativeWorkspaceAfterOwnerStop`. Same-host recovery also required
a completed-copyback barrier, which an interrupted copyback never has.
The task presentation showed `working`, and the UI had no control for
the confirmation.

Refs #19578 (boot-ID fencing for unstarted runs; same proof style).

## What Changed

- Root cause:
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-finalization-ownership.ts`
sent a dead same-host owner to `requireStopVerification` when no
`workspace_finalize` operation had succeeded. That case is exactly a
restart during copyback.
- New `native-workspace-owner-stop-proof.ts`. The owner receipt now
records the controller's process group (`processGroupId`). Copyback
children (tar, Git) are not detached, so they keep that group. A
successor on the same host releases the receipt only when the receipt
names another controller boot, the PID is dead or recycled (process
start time), and the group is empty or has no member outside the
successor's own process tree that started after the old controller. Age
alone never proves a stop.
- A still-live group member returns `local_stop_pending`. The
finalization worker rechecks it on its existing ownership recheck
interval. The board action stays visible meanwhile.
- A successful local proof writes `issue.workspace_owner_stop_verified`
with the proof and marks the recovery `resuming`, like the existing
platform proof.
- A receipt from another host, a receipt without a process group, or a
host without `ps` keeps the fence. The task interruption is now
`waiting_for_user` with `userAction: "confirm_owner_stop"` (new shared
enum value), not `working`.
- UI: the task chat shows one **Confirm the previous server stopped**
action. It asks for stop evidence and calls the existing
`resume-workspace-finalization` API. It is shown only to roles that hold
`runtime:confirm_owner_stop` (company owner or administrator, local
board, instance administrator). The inbox names the same action.
- The copyback advisory lock, the coordinator finalization lease, and
remote save fencing are unchanged.
- Docs: `doc/native-workspace-finalization-recovery.md`.

## Verification

- Red then green on embedded Postgres
(`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-finalizer.test.ts`):
- same-host controller killed with SIGKILL, its process group empty:
before `owner_unverified`, after `acquired` with the proof logged and no
agent wake
- a non-detached orphan child of the dead controller still runs:
`local_stop_pending`, no copyback; after the child exits, `acquired`
  - a receipt without a process group: still `owner_unverified`
- a foreign-host owner: the task presentation was `working` (red), now
`waiting_for_user` / `confirm_owner_stop`; after the board confirmation
it is `working` again
- The existing orphan test (a detached child) and all other finalizer
tests pass: `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-finalizer.test.ts
src/__tests__/native-workspace-finalization-work.test.ts
src/services/task-interruption-presentation.test.ts` (135 passed).
- UI: `npx vitest run src/components/WorkspaceExportRecovery` (34
passed), including the action call body and the non-administrator case.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` clean. Server and UI typecheck clean for the
changed files.
- Live Daytona restart-chaos wave: results are added in a comment below.

## Risks

- A process-table check that reports a member wrongly as live only keeps
the existing fence. The board action is still available.
- A subreaper that adopts orphans does not change their process group,
so the proof does not depend on the parent PID.
- A child that a future change spawns with `detached: true` would leave
the group. Copyback paths do not do that today. The existing
detached-orphan test still fails closed, because a receipt without a
process group is not released.
- Old receipts have no process group. They keep the board action.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 fc7e3a6503 fix(recovery): never replace a native session after a deterministic refusal (#19733)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native agent runs keep a saved provider session, and same-run
recovery resumes it after a failure
> - When resume fails and the checkpoint allows it, recovery archives
the saved continuity state and opens a fresh replacement session
> - Recovery used that path for every resume failure, including
deterministic refusals that left the saved state unchanged and repeat on
every retry
> - In five staging tasks a refusal (a protected launch argument, or a
predecessor tool call with no result) escalated into a replacement. The
remote archive move failed part way, the next attempt found no runner
state, and each task was blocked for workspace repair
> - This pull request stops before replacement after a closed-class
refusal, keeps the saved state, and hands the run to an operator with a
named reason
> - The benefit is that a deterministic refusal can no longer damage
saved state or open a replacement over an unsettled external action

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19659, Refs #19516, Refs #19334

**What happened?**
Five Codex tasks on Daytona sandboxes failed on staging. The first
attempt failed with a deterministic refusal:
- `run.attach cannot change protected launch arguments` (four tasks,
fixed separately in #19659), or
- `native_runner_source_semantic_reconciliation_required` with a
predecessor `paperclip_call_assigned_tool` call still pending (one
task).

The same-run retry then opened a replacement session.
`archiveContinuityState` failed with
`runner_continuity_break_archive_failed` and no detail. The third
attempt failed with `runner_remote_state_unavailable: exit=1`, and the
task was blocked with "Workspace repair required".

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Save a native session whose checkpoint policy is
`allow_replacement_after_resume_failure`.
2. Make the resume fail with a refusal that does not change state (an
attach refusal, or a pending tool call).
3. Same-run recovery opens a replacement session and archives the saved
continuity state.

**Expected behavior**
A deterministic refusal stops the run for an operator. The saved state
stays intact. A run with a pending side-effecting call never reaches
replacement. Transport drops keep the existing retry behavior.

**Root cause**
`executeNativeSession` checked only the checkpoint's replacement policy.
The closed failure class (#19334) only had an effect when replacement
was forbidden. Attach refusals and pending tool calls had no class at
all, and the source-reconciliation refusal was a plain `Error`.

## What Changed

- Runner (`provider_backend.rs`, `durable/mod.rs`): `run.attach`
refusals that would change the durable Codex profile or a protected
launch argument carry the closed classification
`provider_attach_refused`. An attach blocked by
`durable_pending_tool_calls` carries `provider_side_effect_pending`.
These refusals already leave the saved state unchanged.
- Contracts (`harness-driver.ts`): new closed classes
`PROVIDER_ATTACH_REFUSED` and `PROVIDER_SIDE_EFFECT_PENDING`. A typed
`NativeRunnerSourceReconciliationRequiredError` replaces the plain
`Error` at the five `native_runner_source_*_reconciliation_required`
throw sites. `runnerRecoveryFailureClass` reads the authenticated
command-result classification or the typed error, never message text.
- Runtime (`native-session-runtime.ts`): after either class, recovery
never opens a replacement session, whatever the checkpoint policy.
- An attach refusal ends with the existing
`NativeProviderStateIncompatibleError`, which maps to the existing
operator path `native_provider_state_incompatible`.
- A pending side effect ends with the new
`NativeProviderSideEffectPendingError`.
- Server (`native-session-executor.ts`, `native-session-resume.ts`,
shared `EXECUTION_RECONCILIATION_CAUSES`):
`native_provider_side_effect_pending` is a permanent failure and an
execution-reconciliation cause, so the board gets a reconciliation
(record whether the action ran) instead of a generic Retry. The
reconciled continuation does not rebind the saved session, which still
refuses attachment. It starts a fresh provider session in the same
workspace. The saved session and workspace are unchanged.
- Archive (`archiveContinuityState`): a failed remote move now records
the bounded (512 characters), redacted exit status and output in
`runner_continuity_break_archive_failed: exit=… timedOut=… <output>`.
The remote move already ran before the local move on `master`, so a
failed remote move leaves the local state in place.
`restart-interrupted-turn.ts` accepts the detailed message for its
reattachment-loss retry.
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md` and
`packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md` describe the new
rule.

## Verification

Red before the fix, green after (each test first run against unchanged
source from `origin/master` 644ee66f5d):

- `native-session-runtime.test.ts`, test "never replaces a session after
a deterministic, non-destructive recovery refusal". Red: replacement was
attempted (`TypeError: Invalid value used as weak map key` from the stub
replacement). Green: typed error, and `openReplacementSession`,
`openSession` and `openRun` are not called.
- `harness-driver-backend.test.ts`, test "keeps the runner's closed
class of a failed recovery". Red: the typed error did not exist. Green:
both new classes are read from the command result and from the typed
error. The same message text without the type stays unclassified.
- `tests/codex_provider.rs` (real durable executor and fake Codex
app-server):
-
`attach_with_a_pending_tool_call_is_classified_as_a_pending_side_effect`.
Red: `left: None, right: Some("provider_side_effect_pending")`.
-
`saved_codex_thread_attaches_after_a_release_changes_its_feature_toggles`
(protected sandbox change). Red: `left: None, right:
Some("provider_attach_refused")`.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts`:
- Test "stops same-run retries for an operator while a saved
side-effecting call has no result". Red: `expected
'native_session_interrupted' to be
'native_provider_side_effect_pending'`.
- Test "retains the local controller checkpoint until remote continuity
archiving succeeds: failed/timeout". Red: the message had no detail.
Green: the message has the exit status and output, a token in the output
is redacted, and the local runner and control-plane files are intact.

Safety and regression checks:
- New test "still replaces a session after an unclassified resume
failure when the checkpoint allows it". It passes before and after: a
transport drop still reaches replacement.
- Existing test "types a runner-proven incompatible session when
same-session recovery is required" still passes.
- `native-session-resume.test.ts`: a source stopped with
`native_provider_side_effect_pending` is not rebound.
- `run-completion.test.ts` "replays saved user intent through normal
Retry …" passes with the detailed archive message.
- Runner Vitest: `native-session-runtime.test.ts` and
`harness-driver-backend.test.ts` (266 passed);
`runnerd-codex-transport-warm-attachment.test.ts` and
`codex-app-server-driver.recovery.test.ts` (74 passed).
- Rust: `--lib` (560 passed, plus one ACPX timing test that failed under
load and passed when rerun alone), `codex_provider` (118 passed),
`native_provider_backend` (45 passed), `durable_recovery` (3 passed).

Not run: a live staging recovery at this revision. The local server
typecheck could not resolve the unbuilt runner package, so required CI
provides typecheck.

## Risks

- A run that a replacement session would have continued after an attach
refusal now stops for an operator. The refusal repeats on every retry,
so the replacement was the only way past it. It also destroyed saved
state, which is what blocked the staging tasks. A board Retry still
continues the task in a fresh session in the same workspace. This is the
existing `native_provider_state_incompatible` behavior.
- A new failure code `native_provider_side_effect_pending` appears in
run records and recovery actions. It joins
`EXECUTION_RECONCILIATION_CAUSES`, so the UI shows the reconciliation
flow, not Retry.
- An attach refusal used to reach an automatic replacement; it now needs
one board Retry. This is intended: the replacement archived saved state
and failed part way on staging.
- The pending-side-effect class means "no result delivered to the
runner". The controller replays a recorded tool outcome only after
attach. A call whose outcome the server already recorded therefore also
stops for an operator. That is conservative; the reconciliation shows
the recorded outcome.
- Only a pending tool call classifies an attach blocker. Other blockers
(active turn, ambiguous turn start, active goal) keep their current
behavior.
- The archive error message is longer. The one exact-match consumer now
accepts the `code: detail` form.

Code with tool use (shell, file edit, browser reads of staging).

839d41aabb fix(server): retire owned plugin listeners before idle sleep (#19358)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Plugins receive durable agent lifecycle events through a registered
host.
> - The host uses a PostgreSQL LISTEN connection to wake delivery.
> - An idle report could return `none` while that host-owned connection
stayed open.
> - This change gives that listener an exclusive owner and closes it
during the current idle hold.
> - Release or expiry restores listening before journal replay.
> - Failed close and pending work continue to block sleep.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18988, which is now merged. This focused ten-file change now
targets master. Current integrated candidate:
`0f83005122ef1bdb1f1e08f8f58424c9a840ebb1`, with actual master
`644ee66f5d4ae8365fe8b9eca57df2be7405b5ab` preserved through normal
merges. No history was rewritten.

**What happened?**

A normal local App with an installed lifecycle plugin could return an
idle `none` report while its lifecycle LISTEN backend and socket stayed
open.

**Expected behavior**

The host must close its own listener before it reports idle safety. It
must retain other subscriptions, durable events, company scope, retry
deadlines and useful reactivation.

**Steps to reproduce**

Start the normal server with a lifecycle plugin. Create an agent and
wait for its durable acknowledgment. Stop the server, create another
agent while it is stopped, and restart with the same files. Request an
owned idle hold after ordinary replay. Check the exact listener backend
and matched Node socket before shutdown. Let the valid hold expire
naturally, then make an ordinary authorized agent update and check its
durable plugin acknowledgment.

Live executing or persistent preview services remain active. The
separate hosted preview dependency
[paperclip-cloud#478](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/pull/478)
retains its own App and operator prerequisites. This PR does not claim
deployed preview or suspension acceptance.

## What Changed

- Add a private, exclusive database listener owner that inherits the
normal client policy.
- Prepare plugin lifecycle retirement after native retirement under the
same current idle hold.
- Use one delivery-eligibility helper for dispatch and idle journal
inspection. It preserves the same manifest, capability, company-disable
query, and skip rules.
- Close only the owned listener. Keep failed close ownership and
inspection failures visible.
- Resume listening on normal release or expiry, before journal replay.
- Preserve disabled-feature retry history and the original deadline on
re-enable.
- Await lifecycle disposal during normal shutdown and consumer teardown.
- Add owner regressions and document the lifecycle contract.

## Verification

**Current integrated source:**
`0f83005122ef1bdb1f1e08f8f58424c9a840ebb1`. Fresh normal Runner
TypeScript passed in 0.785 seconds. The complete normal App layered
semantic check passed in 28.284 seconds. All tracked source, the
lockfile and the 18 separate private witness inputs stayed unchanged.
Known compiler owners closed and the isolated temporary home was
removed.

**Current product qualification:** at measured integration
`896cc9b62993e6ed10418d7a7417e1ddbf8dc89c`, all three whole files passed
with no failures or skips: lifecycle delivery 40, runtime hooks 20, and
runtime assignments 24. The actual physical LISTEN and natural-expiry
controls passed. All owned clients and captured processes closed.
Independent final session checks were zero before normal deletion of
each successful test database.

**Normal full-App physical retirement:** the original case passed in
47.574 seconds. It exercised real startup, readiness, SDK callbacks,
durable ACK, foreign-company exclusion, physical stop, offline input and
cold replay. The initial unknown hold and its ordinary release remain in
the evidence. After the original 30.5-second cadence, a new valid hold
returned quiescent. The exact current cold-App LISTEN backend and its
matched Node socket closed before server stop.

**Normal full-App natural expiry:** the separate original case passed in
77.391 seconds under its original 90-second body cap. The final valid
30-second hold expired naturally. A new listener backend and matched
current App socket appeared before fresh input. An ordinary authorized
agent-name PATCH produced journal event 20, the actual SDK callback and
durable ACK. Foreign exclusion and readiness assertions passed. The
final measured hold had no manual release, replacement hold or shortened
TTL. The original preparatory unknown hold, ordinary release and
30.5-second cadence remain explicit.

Both App cases used the normal current server helpers and actual SDK
bundling/worker entry. A private compatibility change supplied the same
owned HOME at the exact existing child-fork boundary. It did not change
the product helpers, business assertions or timing limits. These
separate acceptance fixtures remain outside the focused product diff.

**Source carry to the current candidate:** all nine other owned files,
listener mechanics, actual producer paths, SDK paths and measured hold
behavior are unchanged. The sole owned intersection from newer master is
an independent environment-delete cleanup callback in `app.ts`. The
plugin witnesses do not call that route. Normal merges preserve every
unrelated master blob and file mode. The fresh current semantic checks
above qualify the integrated source. New master Native crash-recovery
and saved-copyback Retry capabilities are not claimed by these plugin
cases.

**Actual master merge target:** newer master contains retained plugin
Runner release/resume and other Native recovery fixes. The projected
combined target passed fresh normal Runner TypeScript in 0.799 seconds
and the full App semantic check in 29.715 seconds. All ten plugin-owned
blobs and modes remain exact to the published head; every unrelated
master change is preserved. The measured plugin cases create no Native
provider turn or warm Native session. The unchanged
native-first/plugin-second ordering still checks the native result
before listener retirement. Later sparse-checkpoint and Native
response-publication changes do not enter those paths. This is a scoped
source carry, not new hosted Runner acceptance.

**Failures retained:** an earlier reactivation fixture's real timer
returned one millisecond before its original wall-clock expiry. Its
private fixture now waits any positive remainder and retains the same
expiry assertion and limits. The earlier partial-composition `unknown`
result remains distinct from normal-startup proof. Current qualification
also exposed missing normal workspace dependencies and a private guard
that assumed loose Git refs. Normal owned dependency setup and an exact
loose-or-packed reader fixed those setup failures. No business
assertion, timeout, permission boundary or product sleep gate was
relaxed.

Repeat focused product coverage with a fresh external fixture database
and the normal server Vitest command, one worker:

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run src/__tests__/plugin-lifecycle-delivery.test.ts --maxWorkers=1 --no-file-parallelism
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run src/__tests__/agent-runtime-hooks.test.ts --maxWorkers=1 --no-file-parallelism
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run src/__tests__/agent-runtime-assignments.test.ts --maxWorkers=1 --no-file-parallelism
```

Exact current head `0f83005122ef1bdb1f1e08f8f58424c9a840ebb1` has 60
successful checks, three skips and one neutral result, with no pending
or failing contexts. Greptile completed its full review at 5/5 with no
actionable issue. All root and nested review pages were read; the
earlier eligibility finding is resolved. Ponytail's latest turn stopped
before a verdict. A normal retry was requested; no current Ponytail
verdict or score is claimed. Previous `3ca86ec` CI and scores are
historical. A full local repository typecheck/test/build or browser run
is not claimed. Controlled local App/SDK/PostgreSQL proof does not
establish live provider, deployed Railway/Neon suspension, signed Cloud
alarms or global exactly-once delivery.

## Risks

- A listener close failure or uncertain inspection must continue to
block sleep.
- Release, expiry, configuration changes, and journal arrival can race
with retirement. Epoch and current-hold checks retain conservative
results.
- Delivery remains at least once across uncertain ACK boundaries. This
change does not add global exactly-once delivery.
- The database helper closes only its exclusive listener client. Other
owners and subscriptions keep their resources.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, reasoning and code/tool use. The managing Codex
agent implemented shared database/composition seams and reviewed the
change; its exact model ID was not exposed. The runtime does not expose
a verified context-window size.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c45c7cb854 fix(workspaces): ignore killed-transfer scratch in sparse checkpoints (#19730)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run in a remote sandbox copies its workspace back to the
host after the turn. A sparse checkpoint copies only changed entries,
and the host validates each entry against the sandbox's own manifest
> - Every Daytona transfer stages a `.paperclip-upload-<uuid>` scratch
file at the sandbox workspace root and removes it only in the same
process
> - A control-plane kill during any transfer leaves that scratch behind.
The sparse checkpoint then recorded it as a workspace file, but
providers never export it. Every later copyback and every saved-work
recovery attempt failed with "Workspace checkpoint payload mismatch"
> - The failed recovery then left an accepted Retry showing "Paperclip
is finishing the saved result" with no run
> - This pull request stops recording transfer scratch, makes the
checkpoint export an exact copy, names the failing entry, and gives a
Retry behind a spent recovery an honest reason and a working action
> - The benefit is that a restart during a transfer no longer makes a
task's saved work permanently unrecoverable

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19721 (RC-50: the killed copyback owner; this PR covers the
separate RC-50b cause)

**What happened?**

Restart-chaos waves s12/t01 and s14/t05 (Claude on Daytona). After a
SIGKILL of the control plane, the native result was accepted, and then
workspace copyback failed with "Workspace checkpoint payload mismatch".
In s14 all 6 saved-work recovery attempts failed the same way. A Retry
accepted during recovery kept `retryWait.reason =
finalizing_saved_result` after the recovery budget was spent. No run was
created.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native Claude run in a Daytona sandbox.
2. SIGKILL the control plane while any provider transfer is in flight.
3. Let the run finish its turn and copy its workspace back.

**Expected behavior**

Copyback succeeds. Provider scratch is not workspace content. A Retry
behind a spent recovery names the failure and can start a new recovery.

**Actual behavior**

The s14 sandbox (6f4a0b6a) still held
`/home/daytona/paperclip-workspace/.paperclip-upload-d99fe36b-5acc-437b-96ad-85d5ff9e79c4.tar`.
Its mtime was 03:29:23, the second of the K4 SIGKILL. The Daytona
provider stages transfer scratch at `remoteDir`, which is the lease
`remoteCwd` (the workspace root). The runtime workspace wipe
deliberately preserves `.paperclip-upload-*`. The checkpoint helper
(`workspace-checkpoint.ts`, `checkpointMain`) recorded the stale tar.
The ordinary export excludes `.paperclip-upload*`, so the host received
nothing for that entry. `validateCheckpointPayload` then threw "payload
mismatch" on every attempt. The file-mode hypothesis was disproved: the
sandbox umask is 022 and the scratch is mode 644.

## What Changed

- `packages/adapter-utils/src/exclude-patterns.ts`: new
`isSandboxTransferScratchPath`, which matches a root-level
`.paperclip-upload-*` entry. This agrees with the wipe's preserve rule
in `buildWorkspaceTarExtractCommand`.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/workspace-checkpoint.ts`: the sandbox
checkpoint helper skips that scratch. A mismatch error now names the
entry and its recorded, baseline and received forms (kind, octal mode,
short hash; never contents).
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-managed-runtime.ts`: the
checkpoint export requests `preserveSourceEntries: true`. The checkpoint
output is an exact copy that the host validates entry by entry. An
ordinary export applies the host umask and drops `._*` and
`.paperclip-upload*` names at any depth. That gives the same permanent
mismatch for a legitimate user file such as `._summary`,
`notes/.paperclip-upload-plan.md`, or a `0775` script.
- `server/src/services/explicit-native-continuation.ts` and
`task-interruption-presentation.ts`: when the run's saved-work recovery
is exhausted, a waiting Retry reports `saved_work_recovery_failed` with
Retry available, instead of `finalizing_saved_result`. The existing task
Retry path starts one new recovery generation.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: a short additive note.

## Verification

- `packages/adapter-utils/src/workspace-checkpoint-capture.test.ts` uses
the real checkpoint helper and an export that behaves like Daytona's
ordinary export:
- Before the fix: `Workspace checkpoint payload mismatch at
".paperclip-upload-d99fe36b-….tar": sandbox recorded file mode=644 …;
baseline absent; received absent`. That is the wave error.
  - After the fix: the scratch is not recorded, and validation passes.
- A second case shows that reserved-looking user names and `0775` modes
need the exact export.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/workspace-checkpoint.test.ts` is an
end-to-end `prepareSandboxManagedRuntime` restore through a provider
model. In that model, ordinary exports drop reserved names and apply the
umask, and preserve exports copy exactly. Two red checks:
- Without `preserveSourceEntries`, it fails with the mismatch on
`._summary`.
- Without the scratch skip, the stale tar leaks into the host workspace.
- Green: the agent file, the `._summary` file and the `0775` mode
arrive, and no scratch arrives.
- `server/src/services/workspace-recovery-preparation-gates.test.ts`,
"names a spent saved-work recovery behind an accepted Retry, and the
next Retry finishes it" (s14 shape):
  - Red: `finalizing_saved_result` after 6 failed attempts.
- Green: `saved_work_recovery_failed` with `canRetry: true`. The next
Retry starts a new generation, recovery completes, and the Retry
continues in exactly one new run.
- Suites: adapter-utils checkpoint, capture, sandbox-managed-runtime,
seed-reuse and managed-seed (168 passed). Server preparation-gates (47),
explicit-native-continuation and task-interruption-presentation (455),
workspace-recovery admission and retry-copyback, and
native-workspace-finalizer. `tsc --noEmit` is clean for adapter-utils
and server.
- Live evidence: I started the stopped s14 sandbox read-only, listed its
workspace, and stopped it again. No Daytona replay was run. The runner
content ID of this checkout matches no built image.

## Risks

- A user file named `.paperclip-upload-*` directly at the workspace root
is no longer captured by a sparse checkpoint. Providers already drop
that name from every ordinary export, and the runtime already reserves
it at the root.
- The checkpoint export now uses the provider's exact-copy mode. A
workspace file with setuid, setgid or sticky bits is refused by that
mode, as it is for the existing exact-copy transfers. The ordinary
export would have stripped those bits and failed validation anyway.
- The stale scratch tar stays in the sandbox. It is ignored, not
deleted, because a concurrent transfer can own a file with the same
prefix.

DottaandPaperclip 9efee7ee16 fix(runtime): save dynamic skill bundles before native admission (#19729)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents, tasks, and their saved execution state.
> - A replacement server must restore each admitted skill from shared
storage.
> - Installed company skills already have immutable versions.
> - Connector skills add assigned resources and tool definitions for
each run.
> - Those dynamic bytes keep a null version ID and differ from the
static skill.
> - Native admission saved their input before it saved a durable package
receipt.
> - This change stages the exact packages first and publishes the input
and receipt together.
> - A new connector turn can then survive an empty server home.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19675 for the existing runtime asset preservation owner.

**What happened?**

A new native run with an assigned Slack connector creates a concrete
local skill bundle after the old runtime assets were migrated. Admission
saves its execution input without a preservation receipt. The new run
creates a local durability dependency again.

**Expected behavior**

With S3 configured, the exact dynamic bundle must be durable before the
execution input becomes visible. Its null version ID and admitted bytes
must remain unchanged. Local storage must keep its volume-backed
behavior.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Configure S3 and a native agent with an assigned Slack resource.
2. Prepare a new native task through the normal runtime selection owner.
3. Inspect its runtime skill receipt or restore its skills with an empty
server home. The previous owner saved no receipt.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master `d1ee25d0f7`. The fix is tested on `4a3396d9b9`.

**Deployment mode**

S3-configured server. Local tests use PostgreSQL 18.1 and a private disk
transport with the S3 receipt contract.

## What Changed

- Extend the existing runtime asset owner with package staging and
transaction-bound receipt validation.
- Stage exact unversioned skill packages before native admission. Keep
storage I/O outside the run transaction.
- Publish the frozen input and receipt together under the existing run,
cancellation, and package collection locks.
- Reject changed input bindings and retired package metadata.
- Reuse valid same-run receipts without reading the previous host's
bundle path or requiring a new object read.
- Keep existing online preservation and local storage behavior.
- Add a bounded preparation span and document its work.

## Verification

- Genuine unchanged-production RED: the actual Slack overlay and real
admission transaction save no preservation receipt.
- Final rebased head: 68 tests pass in three suites in 25.36 seconds.
These include all runtime-selection, runtime-preservation, and connector
controls.
- The new positive checks that no execution input or coordinator is
visible during package readback. It restores exact skill and tool bytes,
modes, digests, and null version IDs in a cold home.
- Guards cover an uncertain storage failure, cancellation during upload,
a changed binding, retired package metadata, and local mode. An existing
receipt remains usable after removing the original bundle and during a
storage outage.
- The canonical PostgreSQL wrapper uses one owned disposable PostgreSQL
18.1 container. Each suite's database is cleaned up. Real package
archives, streams, and readback run locally; no external provider or
model is called.
- Strict server TypeScript, module boundaries, changed-line private-data
checks, and `git diff --check` pass.
- [Final-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42337473062)
passes all required build, typecheck, test, and Runner gates. Fresh
Greptile is 5/5 with no open review threads.

## Risks

New S3-backed admission now requires its dynamic packages to be saved
before execution can proceed. A storage failure can therefore stop
preparation. Existing resource cleanup keeps its authority. Failed or
cancelled staging retains original files and the package owner's pending
receipts. Same-run recovery retains its original capture provenance and
cache behavior. The tests replace the external S3 transport; they do not
qualify live S3 permissions or provider execution. No schema, API,
workflow, company skill version, or provider protocol changes are
included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6 family; the exact runtime model ID and context
capacity are not exposed in this session), with reasoning, repository
editing, code execution, and tool use.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 db41bfcb38 fix(recovery): let an accepted Retry finish after a killed copyback owner (#19721)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run saves the agent's workspace files after the provider
turn (copyback). One controller owns copyback at a time and records a
durable owner receipt on the run (`nativeWorkspaceFinalizationOwner`)
> - When copyback of an accepted result fails, retained saved-work
recovery exports the files from the kept sandbox. A task Retry waits for
that recovery before it continues
> - A control-plane restart can kill the controller while it owns
copyback. The dead controller can never confirm its own stop, and
nothing in the retained recovery path could release its receipt
> - The recovery worker then spent one attempt on each recheck of that
receipt until it was exhausted, and the accepted Retry kept saying
"Paperclip is finishing the saved result" with no run. The task waited
forever
> - This pull request stops spending attempts on that recheck, names the
real wait, and lets the board release the exact receipt so the same
recovery and the same Retry continue
> - The benefit is that an accepted Retry never waits silently: it
finishes, or it shows one honest action that makes it finish

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19717 (same-host automatic proof for a killed copyback owner; this
PR covers the retained-recovery path and the case where no automatic
proof is possible)
Refs #19713, #19609, #19694 (related restart-recovery fixes; no overlap
in files except this doc)

**What happened?**

Two Daytona restart-chaos waves. In each, a native run's copyback failed
and the run failed with `native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted`. The
agent's result was accepted. Retained recovery started. A SIGKILL of the
control plane landed while a recovery attempt owned copyback:

- Wave s13, task t06 (Claude, crash loop): Retry was accepted at
02:30:35. A SIGKILL landed 2 s later. All later attempts failed with
`copyback_stop_unconfirmed`. After 6 attempts the recovery was
exhausted. The Retry showed `retryWait.reason = finalizing_saved_result`
for more than 15 minutes. No run was created.
- Wave s12, task t01 (Claude): attempt 1 failed with "Workspace
checkpoint payload mismatch". The SIGKILL at 01:43:54 killed the owner
of attempt 2. Attempts 3 to 5 failed with `copyback_stop_unconfirmed`.
The Retry was accepted with HTTP 2xx and produced no run.

In both kept databases the run carries an owner receipt for the killed
process.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Accept a native result and make its workspace copyback fail, so that
retained recovery owns the export.
2. Press Retry on the task.
3. Kill the control plane while a recovery attempt owns copyback, so
that its owner receipt stays on the run. Use another host, or a receipt
without automatic stop proof.
4. Let recovery run.

**Expected behavior**

Rechecking the receipt does not spend attempts. The task names the wait
and does not offer a Retry that cannot help. A board member can confirm
that the previous server stopped. The recovery then finishes, and the
waiting Retry continues by itself.

**Actual behavior**

`withNativeWorkspaceFinalizationOwnership` returned `owner_unverified`
for a retained repair without creating any board action
(`native-workspace-finalization-ownership.ts`,
`requireStopVerification`). `recoverRetainedWorkspace` reserved an
attempt for each recheck and failed it as `copyback_stop_unconfirmed`
(`workspace-recovery.ts`), until the budget was exhausted. The Retry
gate in `explicit-native-continuation.ts` returned
`finalizing_saved_result` for an accepted result with no verified
repair, with no check for this hold.
`resumeNativeWorkspaceAfterOwnerStop` accepted only an
`owner_unverified` action on a `running` run, so no route could release
the receipt of a finished run. The exhausted handoff told the board to
press Retry again, which repeats the same failure.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/workspace-recovery.ts`: when retained recovery
finds an unverifiable copyback owner, it records the recheck without
reserving an attempt. The 30-minute recovery window still bounds it. The
retained action records the exact receipt as `workspaceOwnerRecovery: {
state: "operator_required", owner }`. A newer receipt replaces the
record and clears an older confirmation.
- `server/src/services/explicit-native-continuation.ts`: a Retry that
waits for an accepted saved result reports
`workspace_owner_stop_required` when the run's active retained action
has that hold. It no longer reports `finalizing_saved_result` for this
case.
- `server/src/services/task-interruption-presentation.ts`: the new wait
has a fixed message, and Retry is not offered for it, because another
click cannot release the receipt.
-
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-owner-recovery.ts`:
the existing board route `POST
/issues/:id/recovery-actions/resume-workspace-finalization` (permission
`runtime:confirm_owner_stop`) also accepts a retained recovery action
with that hold. The confirmation must name the receipt that is still on
the run. A live owner on this host still rejects it. It clears only that
receipt, records the stop proof and an activity entry, and returns the
same recovery to the worker. A spent budget gets one new generation, as
a deliberate recovery request does. It accepts no result and starts no
agent turn. The owner check is shared with the existing path.
- `server/src/services/system-recovery.ts`: an exhausted
`copyback_stop_unconfirmed` handoff names the board confirmation instead
of another Retry.
- `ui/src/api/issues.ts`: the route receipt's `resultId` can be `null`
(a retained recovery has no live result binding).
- `doc/native-workspace-finalization-recovery.md`: an additive paragraph
describes this path.

## Verification

- Red then green on embedded Postgres:
`server/src/services/workspace-recovery-preparation-gates.test.ts`,
"lets an accepted Retry finish after a killed copyback owner instead of
waiting forever" with one case per wave (s13, s12). Each case uses a
real accepted remote export, a Retry through the HTTP route, a
killed-owner receipt, and 8 recovery passes.
- Before the fix (both cases): `attempts: 6, state: "exhausted"`. That
is the wave state.
- After the fix: no attempt is spent on the recheck. The hold is
recorded. The Retry wait is `workspace_owner_stop_required` with
`canRetry: false`. The board confirmation through the route returns 202
and clears the receipt. The same recovery completes. The same accepted
Retry then finishes the saved result (s13: the task is `done`) or
continues in exactly one new run (s12).
- `npx vitest run
src/services/workspace-recovery-preparation-gates.test.ts -t "killed
copyback owner"`: 2 passed.
- `pnpm verify` (affected selection): see the comment below. Server `tsc
--noEmit` is clean.
- No live Daytona replay. Both waves ran on old signed images. The local
proof uses the same accepted-export fixture as the existing Retry tests,
with the receipt state copied from the kept databases.

## Risks

- A copyback owner on another host that is still alive is now rechecked
within the recovery window without spending attempts. Before this change
it spent them. The window still bounds the wait.
- The board confirmation for a retained action is an operator statement,
the same as the existing owner-stop path. It is limited to roles with
`runtime:confirm_owner_stop`. It never clears a receipt other than the
one it names, and a live same-host owner still rejects it.
- #19717 changes the same ownership area and adds a UI action for the
running-run case. That UI does not show a retained action yet. After
both merge, a small follow-up can show its button for this hold. Until
then the API route and the task's wait message cover it.
- Not addressed here: the "Workspace checkpoint payload mismatch" that
started wave s12. The checkpoint outbound transfer extracts without `-p`
(`sandbox-managed-runtime.ts` checkpoint sync-out, `extractHostTarball`
in the Daytona provider), so the host umask can change file modes that
the remote manifest recorded. That is a separate signature.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 5cc89b1e4d fix(native): do not charge a restart resume that made progress before the next crash (#19720)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs have an execution recovery budget of three provider
attempts, so a run that keeps failing stops retrying
> - A control-plane crash (no graceful drain) makes the next server
resume the run, and that resume charges one attempt
> - #19625 stopped charging a resume after a graceful drain, but crash
restarts still charge, even when the previous resume did real work
> - On a deploy day with several restarts, a healthy run used up its
budget and the task needed a manual Retry
> - This pull request does not charge a crash resume when the previous
restart resume made recorded progress
> - The benefit is that restarts alone do not exhaust a run that keeps
making progress, and genuine loops stay bounded

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19625

**What happened?**
In restart-chaos testing (storm wave, OpenCode run), a run crossed four
control-plane restarts: K1, K1, K2 (drain), K1. Each resume was clean:
the runner restored the session, recorded
`provider_turn_lost_on_restore`, and the #19699 continuation turn then
ran tools for minutes. The two K1 resumes each charged one attempt
(attempt 1 to 3). The drain resume did not charge (#19625). The fourth
restart found attempt 3 and blocked the run with
`native_restart_recovery_blocked` /
`execution_recovery_budget_exhausted`. Seven runs in the same wave
failed in the same way. In every case, each resume had accepted a new
turn and completed tool work before the next restart.

**Expected behavior**
A run must not fail because it survived several controller restarts that
each resumed cleanly and made progress. The budget must still stop a
resume that fails each time, a crash loop that makes no progress, and a
provider that fails repeatedly.

**Steps to reproduce**
Start a native local run. Kill the server (SIGKILL) while the run is
active and let it resume. Let the resumed turn run tools. Repeat three
times. The third crash resume is blocked with
`execution_recovery_budget_exhausted`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `8a34c1b62c`.

## What Changed

- `claimNativeRestartRecoveries()` (`native-restart-recovery.ts`)
records `progressWatermarkSeq` (the run's highest
`heartbeat_run_events.seq`) in the history entry of each recovery claim.
- New `previousResumeMadeProgress()`: the next claim reads the watermark
of the most recent claim. It finds progress when, after that watermark,
a `turn.accepted` event names a turn, and a later
`tool.execution.completed` or `item.completed` event (not a `usage`
item) belongs to the same turn. The evidence is committed run events,
not timing.
- When that progress exists, the claim is not charged
(`chargesProviderAttempt: false`, and the `>= 3` exhausted gate is
skipped). This uses the same path as the clean-drain rule from #19625.
The history entry records `attemptKeptForProgress: true`.
- Restore activity does not count: lineage items without a turn,
`turn.failed`, work on the interrupted turn, `turn.submitted`, and an
accepted turn with only usage or a failure. So a resume that dies or
fails before it does work still charges.
- The credit stops at controller generation 12
(`NATIVE_PROGRESS_CREDIT_GENERATION_LIMIT`). A run that does some work
and then crashes the controller every time still reaches the budget.
- The first restart (which interrupts the original execution, not a
resume) still charges. A history entry from an older release has no
watermark, so it gets no credit.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` states the rule next to the three-attempt
budget.

## Verification

New tests in
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`
(embedded Postgres, real `claimNativeRestartRecoveries`; between claims
the test applies the executor's attempt charge and marks the controller
dead):

- `keeps recovering a run whose restart resumes each completed work
before the next crash`: five crash resumes, each followed by restore
noise and one completed tool in the continuation turn. Charges are
`[true, false, false, false, false]` and the attempt stays 2. Red on
master (attempt 2, 3, then blocked).
- `still exhausts the budget when restart resumes complete no work
between crashes`: resumes followed only by restore noise and a failed
continuation turn. Attempt 2, attempt 3, then
`execution_recovery_budget_exhausted`. Green on master and with the fix.
- `bounds a crash loop that makes progress before every crash`: credit
stops at the generation limit, the last attempt is spent, and the run
blocks. Red on master.
- `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`,
`heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts`,
`native-restart-recovery-isolation.test.ts` and
`native-remote-retry-admission.test.ts`: 218 passed, 14 skipped.
- I ran the progress query against the live database of the failing
wave. For all seven blocked runs, every resume had progress before the
next restart, so this rule would have kept each of them recovering.
- `tsc --noEmit` for `server` has no errors in the changed files.

## Risks

- A run that makes progress and then makes the controller crash each
time gets up to about ten extra resumes before the budget applies. The
generation limit bounds this.
- The rule depends on the PRP event shape (`payload.prpEvent.turnId` on
`turn.accepted` and on completed work). Events without that shape get no
credit, so the failure mode is the old behavior (charge), not an
unbounded loop.
- The query runs once per claim, on the `(run_id, seq)` unique index
range after the watermark.

DottaandPaperclip 1a60d47804 Preserve settled native log files during online migration (#19719)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work for AI agents.
> - The web server must retain run history across replacements.
> - Older native runs can have local log files with no final size or
digest.
> - The normal importer correctly refuses to call those files complete.
> - The existing raw archive mode requires the entire instance to stop
work.
> - This change gives settled sources a separate, guarded online archive
path.
> - Active work can continue while old evidence moves to object storage.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18864, #19678, #19688.

The offline historical log archive path cannot migrate a busy instance.
This change preserves exact surviving bytes without claiming complete
native-event coverage or changing the original run outcome.

## What Changed

- Add an explicit online option for settled native log files. Keep the
default importer and offline option unchanged.
- Require a released, closed native finalizer and no pending attempt,
allocation, physical owner, or task binding. A stale lease or terminal
run status alone is insufficient.
- Use the canonical physical finalization lock and row locks. Check the
source generation before claims and publication.
- Read only the canonical, private local file. Reject aliases, symlinks,
hard links, changed files, and changed owners.
- Verify remote bytes before publishing a read-only archive and activity
receipt in one transaction. Keep original files, errors, run status,
event rows, and completeness metadata.
- Document the command and its authority limits. Add real PostgreSQL and
loopback S3 transport tests.

## Verification

- The original implementation failed the new archive regression. It
returned blocked instead of migrating the settled source.
- Final source integration suite: 15 tests pass on disposable PostgreSQL
and the bounded loopback S3 fixture. Coverage includes active unrelated
work, failed and successful sources, a 4 MiB segment boundary, owner
changes, file changes, unresolved owners, task bindings, allocations,
and filesystem aliases.
- The qualified source TypeScript check and module boundary check pass.
- All 73 tests in five affected existing log-store, object-journal,
cancellation, and migration-worker suites pass. The first borrowed
dependency setup loaded work contexts from another worktree and failed
four tests. Explicit database subpath aliases resolved that setup fault;
no worker code changed.
- Earlier test fault injection used the wrong storage method, and the
first segment test reused a closed fixture endpoint. Those fixture
defects were corrected before the final 15-test pass.
- Local tests use Node 26. CI supplies the standard full typecheck,
build, and test gates. Production object-storage credentials, live
Railway replacement, and provider continuation are separate deployment
acceptance steps.

- Final exact-head CI: 59 successful contexts and 3 skipped, with all
typecheck, build, test, E2E, security, and review gates complete.
[Workflow
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42332349644).
- The first CI attempt had 12 jobs interrupted by runner shutdown. Their
logs end in cancellation, with no test assertion found. The
failed/cancelled-only retry passed all 12 jobs and recomputed
aggregates. The 38 original successful job records kept their original
execution times and were not rerun. Original interruption logs remain
retained.

## Risks

- This path preserves raw history. It cannot recover missing source
bytes or prove a complete native transcript.
- Uploads can finish before a later source check fails. The run
reference stays local in that case; a retry must still satisfy all
authority checks.
- The new option is explicit. It adds no startup worker, recurring poll,
or background scan.
- Source transactions hold scoped locks only for ownership checks and
publication. Streaming and remote verification run outside those
transactions.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 51eb4ff705 fix(recovery): finalize an accepted native result after a hard kill (#19713)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run hands its accepted result to a controller lease, and
the controller finalizes the task from that result
> - A graceful shutdown releases that lease for the next server
(#19591), but a hard kill (SIGKILL, OOM, host crash) cannot
> - After a hard kill between result acceptance and finalization, the
next server waited for the dead controller's 20-minute lease, so the run
stayed `running` and the user's follow-up comment waited with it
> - This pull request releases that lease at startup when the controller
is proved dead by its boot ID and process identity, never by age
> - The benefit is that the saved result finalizes within seconds after
a restart, without another provider turn, and queued follow-up work
continues

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19591 (the graceful-shutdown counterpart) and #19578
(boot-identity proof for legacy runs).

**What happened?**
A restart-chaos wave sent K1 (SIGKILL) 20 ms after a Claude run recorded
`run.result.accepted` and `run.terminal`. The run then stayed `running`
for more than 10 minutes, through four more restarts. The finalization
row was `workspace_finalizing` with the stored result. Its lease
belonged to the killed server: a different `controller_boot_id`, a
`controller_pid` with no process, and `lease_expires_at` 20 minutes
ahead. Startup recovery skips runs that already have a result. The
result-commit worker waits until the lease expires. The task's follow-up
comment could not run until then.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Let a native local run accept its result.
2. SIGKILL the server before finalization finishes.
3. Restart the server. The run stays `running` until the old lease
expires.

**Expected behavior**
After a restart, a result lease held by a stopped controller of an
earlier boot is treated as released at once. The stored result finalizes
once, with no new provider turn, and the follow-up wake runs after it.

## What Changed

- New
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-dead-controller-result-lease.ts`:
`releaseDeadControllerResultLeases` finds `running` native runs with an
accepted result and an unexpired lease. It requires the lease to belong
to a different controller boot. It proves the controller stopped with
`evaluateNativeControllerTakeover` (`requireStoppedController`): the
process is dead, or its PID now names another process. It then expires
that lease with a compare-and-set on the exact owner token, boot ID, and
PID, and notifies the result-commit and finalization workers.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat/recovery.ts`:
`recoverNativeRunsAfterRestart` calls this first and records a
`native.recovery.transition` event (`awaiting_result_finalization`) for
each released run.
- Only executor leases are released, because only the executor claim
writes the controller identity together with the lease. Finalizer
(`native-finalizer:`) and cleanup (`native-cleanup:`) claims keep an
earlier executor's identity, so they are never released this way and
expire on their own short leases. A finalization-resume token
(`:resume:`) on a result row always belongs to the executor that adopted
it, because a pending resume claim is taken only on a row without a
result.
- Also not released: a live owner, an owner without a recorded process,
a lease of the current boot, a run this process is executing, and remote
workspaces (`nativeWorkspaceSync` or `remoteWorkspace`), which keep
their fenced lease.
- The compare-and-set does not compare the stored expiry. Postgres
stores microseconds that a JavaScript `Date` drops, and an exact-expiry
comparison silently skipped the real lease in the live reproduction.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: documents the rule.

## Verification

- Red then green on embedded Postgres
(`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts`):
- A hard kill with a dead controller's executor lease (first claim,
restart claim, or resumed claim) now finalizes on the next startup: run
`succeeded`, finalization `committed`, task `done`, one result, one run,
no provider dispatch. These tests failed before the fix with `status:
running`.
- A lease expiry stored with microsecond precision is released. This
test failed against the first version of the fix and reproduces the live
miss.
- A live controller of another boot keeps its lease, and so does a lease
of the current boot.
- A live claimant's finalizer or cleanup lease is kept when the recorded
earlier executor is dead.
- `npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts`: 20 passed.
- Related suites pass: `native-session-resumption`,
`native-runner-restart-recovery.integration`,
`native-run-projection-work`, `live-recovery-work`. One
`live-recovery-work` legacy case timed out once under load and passed
when run again by itself.
- Live, local: `tests/restart-chaos/main.ts --workloads C1 --triggers
result --faults K1 --rc06-masked`. The failing case above came from such
a wave. I started its kept database and confirmed the stored lease state
and the compare-and-set miss. Against that same database, the fixed
release expires the stuck executor lease. Two later waves (12 tasks,
`--triggers result`) passed every task. Run events were not kept for
passing tasks, so I cannot confirm that a kill landed in the narrow
pre-finalization window in those waves.

- Live proof on head `8971874654`: local ACPX Claude, workload A1, seed
7411, `--triggers result` (a local variant that fires on A1 2.5–3.5 s
after the run's result proposal), `--keep`. The run passed 4 of 4 tasks.
In two tasks, K1 landed 1.5 s and 2.0 s after `run.result.accepted`. On
the next startup, each run recorded "Server restart released the
accepted native result of a stopped controller for finalization"
(`controller_process_dead`). Each finished `succeeded` about 1 s later,
with its task `done` and exactly one run per task (no extra provider
turn). Before this fix, the same shape stayed `running` until the
10-minute budget ran out (seeds 7411, 7422, and 7423 from the RC-33b
investigation in #19691).

## Risks

- Startup could take a lease from a finalizer that is still running.
Mitigations: the lease must belong to another boot, the controller
process must be proved stopped on this host (the same proof the existing
runner takeover uses), and the update matches the exact owner. Remote
workspaces are excluded. Multi-host deployments keep the existing
PID-liveness assumption that `claimNativeRestartRecoveries` already
makes.
- Low behavioral risk otherwise: finalization uses the existing
reconciler path, which #19591 already exercises after a graceful drain.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, run as an agent in
Claude Code with tool use (shell, file editing, local test execution,
live restart-chaos waves).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 08f7ac03dc fix(recovery): keep a never-started task waiting through a temporary accounting hold (#19702)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Admission checks every wake. A short company accounting hold can
refuse new work after a control-plane restart.
> - When the hold refused a new task's assignment wake, stranded-work
recovery found the task with no run while the hold was still active. It
moved the task to `blocked` with a board recovery comment.
> - A `blocked` task leaves the stranded-assignment sweep, so nothing
woke it after the hold cleared. The task stayed `blocked` with no run,
no interruption and no Retry.
> - The hold was temporary. Tasks created a few seconds later (after the
sweep) started normally once accounting settled.
> - This pull request keeps a never-started task `todo` while a
temporary budget hold lasts. The existing assigned-todo liveness
dispatch then admits it once the hold clears. The task shows the hold it
waits for.
> - The benefit is that a restart no longer silently drops new tasks
created during the accounting settle window.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
In a restart-chaos storm on master `06bbcea12f`, three new tasks were
created while the company accounting hold was active. Each assignment
wake got 409 "Company cannot start work while completed runs await
accounting." (or "...native run recovers its unfinished accounting.").
One task rested `blocked` with 0 runs, interruption `null` and
`canRetry=false`. The other two ran later.

**Root cause**
`reconcileStrandedAssignedIssues`
(`server/src/services/recovery/service.ts`, the
`readInvocationBudgetBlock` branch near line 4826) escalates any
assigned task to `blocked` when a budget block exists. It does this
before the assigned-todo no-run branch, which already skips a
budget-blocked task and dispatches it later. So a task that never
started was treated as failed recovery work. The refused wake itself is
stored as a `skipped` `budget.blocked` diagnostic, which is correct; the
escalation removed the only path that re-admits it.

**Expected behavior**
A wake refused by a temporary admission hold waits and is admitted once
the hold clears, with one run. A real hard stop is still a board
decision. Removed assignees and cancelled tasks still do not wake.

**Steps to reproduce**
Create a company with a hard-stop budget and a completed run that has
`cost_accounting_pending = true`. Assign a new `todo` task. The wake
gets 409. Run the stranded-assignment sweep. Before this change the task
becomes `blocked` and never runs.

Related: #19700 bounds the accounting hold itself. This PR is
independent: it handles what happens to a task whose first wake the hold
refused.

## What Changed

- Stranded-work recovery skips a `todo` task with no run while a
temporary budget hold blocks admission. It does not escalate it to
`blocked`. The existing assigned-todo liveness dispatch admits the task
once the hold clears.
- A hard stop (spend at the limit, or blocked unpriced usage) keeps the
existing board escalation. Recovery checks this with the read-only
`policyBlocks` for the policies of the blocking scope. It does not
change budget hold semantics.
- The task interruption projection now covers a `todo` task with no run
whose latest wake was refused with `budget.blocked`. It shows "Waiting
for the budget to allow new work. The task starts automatically when it
does." with no Retry. A budget pause shows the existing "budget" user
action.
- The no-run projection applies the same person-owned gates as the
run-backed projection: a budget pause shows the "budget" action, and an
ordinary agent, project, company or task pause shows "resume". Only an
accounting hold shows the automatic-start text.
- `ExecutionBlockerNotice` shows that wait text for a `working`
presentation that carries a wait reason.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` records the rule.

## Verification

- New embedded-Postgres regression
`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-refused-assignment-wake.test.ts`:
- hold active, new task assigned, wake refused (409, `skipped`
`budget.blocked`), two recovery sweeps: the task stays `todo` with no
run and shows the wait reason. Before the fix this failed with `expected
'blocked' to be 'todo'` (the CHA-9 shape).
- hold cleared, two sweeps: exactly one provider turn starts, from
`issue.assigned_todo_liveness_dispatch`, and the task finishes. A later
sweep does not start another turn.
- counter-tests: a terminated assignee and a cancelled task get no run
after the hold clears.
- Existing `creates a board recovery action for budget-blocked assigned
work` (real hard stop) still passes unchanged.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-refused-assignment-wake.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
src/services/task-interruption-presentation.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation.test.ts` (server) and
`src/components/ExecutionBlockerNotice.test.tsx` (ui).
- Server typecheck and `pnpm check:token-gates`.
- Live restart-chaos storm (local, codex/claude/opencode, 6 in flight,
K2 every 3-4 minutes for 20 minutes, no RC-06 mask), revision
e38bb5c8f7: 17 tasks, 10 pass.
- Two new tasks (CHA-16, CHA-17) were created while the company
accounting hold was active. Their assignment wakes got 409 "Company
cannot start work while completed runs await accounting." Both stayed
`todo` (not `blocked`) and showed `state: working`, `canRetry: false`,
`retryWait.reason: budget.blocked`, "Waiting for the budget to allow new
work. The task starts automatically when it does." No task rested
`blocked` with 0 runs.
- The hold itself never cleared in this wave (`pendingRunCount: 1` at
wave end), so these two tasks did not start before their deadline. That
stuck hold is the separate accounting-closure defect that #19700 bounds.
The other 5 failures (`R3:retry_no_new_run:B5`) are Retries refused by
the same stuck hold. The re-admission after the hold clears is proved by
the embedded-Postgres regression above.

## Risks

- Low. The change narrows one escalation to tasks that never started,
under a budget block that is not a hard stop. Those tasks now stay
`todo` and are re-checked by the existing 30-second stranded-assignment
sweep, which already re-checks every admission gate.
- The hard-stop check reads the blocking scope's active policies once
per budget-blocked never-started task in a sweep. It runs only while a
hold is active.
- The interruption projection adds one indexed read (company + payload
issue id) for `todo` tasks in the batch.

DottaandPaperclip d1306f338b fix(runtime): preserve settled failed harness backups online (#19715)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip coordinates agents, tasks, and their saved execution
state.
> - A replacement server needs native provider backups in shared
storage.
> - The online pre-copy owner accepts successful runs with a committed
result.
> - A sealed backup from a failed or cancelled run can still contain
user history.
> - The existing owner defers those files even after their source
ownership is settled.
> - This change adds a separate preservation owner with exact source and
publication checks.
> - The copy retains the failed outcome and original files while making
the backup readable from a fresh home.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19137 and #19108 for the existing pre-copy and encrypted backup
owners.

**What happened?**

Online pre-copy reports `source_not_successful` for a sealed legacy
backup from a settled failed or cancelled run. The provider files remain
tied to the old disk.

**Expected behavior**

Copy the exact recorded backup when the source has no remaining writer
ownership. Preserve the run status, warnings, result, allocation,
selected session, and local files.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a lease-stamped suspended native backup.
2. Settle its source as a failed run with a terminal-failure coordinator
and no owner.
3. Keep an unrelated execution active.
4. Run canonical online pre-copy. The previous owner defers the source.

## What Changed

- Add a narrow preservation owner for terminal source files. It checks
the physical finalization lock, task, coordinator, run, selected
session, source lease, and source fingerprints.
- Recheck that owner before the encrypted upload receipt and
current-backup publication.
- Reuse the finite workspace keepalive during long source checks and
defer source-local invalid archives.
- Add optional exact-root stamp verification. A valid previous backup
cannot authorize a changed current payload. Existing callers keep their
fallback behavior.
- Bind the archive input to the checked owner and record an activity
event after publication.
- Keep pending object receipts after an uncertain or failed publication.
- Add focused PostgreSQL and filesystem controls. Update the existing
migration runbook.

## Verification

- Real PostgreSQL baseline on unchanged production: the new positive
case fails with `source_not_successful` instead of publishing the
backup.
- Same case passes after the change and decrypts/restores the exact
provider history.
- Final head 4b6cf093be: three focused suites pass, 81 tests in 62.26
seconds, including existing storage and stamp consumers. The canonical
PostgreSQL wrapper exited zero and completed cleanup.
- Controls cover cancelled and failed sources, real committed results,
expired nonnull owners, physical owner/lock contention, late
source/owner changes, previous-tree fallback, and archive root/scope
binding.
- Both review regressions fail with the committed pre-fix owners: a real
30-second database idle timeout expires during a 32-second exact-source
check, and a stamp-valid invalid archive stops the pass. The fixed owner
keeps its transaction live and copies the next valid source. Source
hashes and automatic file restoration were recorded for each leg.
- Final-head strict server TypeScript and module-boundary checks pass
after the master rebase and required Runner/shared declaration rebuild.
- No source migration, provider mutation, or archive apply was executed.

## Risks

This path does not reconstruct missing backups or prove that missing
provider state is recoverable. Such sources remain blockers. It does not
take expired owners or report failed work as successful. Source hashing
adds bounded disk work while source row locks are held; unrelated
executions remain active in the PostgreSQL fixture. Existing archive
size limits, authenticated encryption, object readback, and publication
fencing remain in place. No schema, API route, scheduler, or
rollout-policy change is included.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 ece09c156a fix(runner): keep an accepted result when ACPX reports its turn lost on restore (#19691)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native Codex, OpenCode, and ACPX runs survive control-plane
restarts: runnerd restores the conversation, and the control plane
continues the task from its checkpoint
> - #19658 made recovery keep a durable result when a Codex restore
loses the turn that proposed it. It covered the recovery read path only
> - ACPX reports the lost turn differently. After the restored
conversation reopens, a live `turn.failed` arrives with
`provider_turn_lost_on_restore`
> - That live terminal still turned an accepted `done` result into a
failed run. The run ended `failed` (`adapter_failed`), and the finished
work needed a Retry
> - This pull request moves the rule into the shared terminal mapping. A
restore-lost turn with a held result for that exact turn settles as
completed, whichever path reports it
> - The benefit is that ACPX and OpenCode tasks that already finished
keep their accepted result after a restart, as Codex tasks now do

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19658, #19525, #19501, #19539

**What happened?**
In a restart chaos wave, an ACPX Claude task (workload A1) wrote its
brief and proposed a `done` result (`run.result.proposed`, then a
completed `paperclip_finish` tool call). Then a K1 and a K6 crash loop
hit the control plane, and `resume_dead_runner` ran at controller
generations 2 and 3. The restored ACPX conversation emitted
`turn.failed` with `provider_turn_lost_on_restore` (`recoverable: true`)
for the checkpointed turn. The control plane then emitted
`run.result.accepted` with the `done` result, but `run.terminal` came
back `runTerminalState: failed` / `turnTerminalState: failed` /
`reportedWorkDisposition: done`. The run ended `failed` /
`adapter_failed`, "Native session failed".

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native ACPX (or OpenCode) task through runnerd.
2. Let the agent call `paperclip_finish`, and let the control plane
persist the proposal.
3. Kill the control plane and runner before the turn ends.
4. Let restart recovery resume the run. The restored runner reports the
turn lost on restore as a live terminal.

**Expected behavior**
Recovery finalizes the accepted result, and the run succeeds.

**Actual behavior**
ACPX and OpenCode use the same Codex harness session as Codex
(`codex-native-backend.ts`). Recovery restored the held result for the
turn from the durable proposal. But the live `turn/completed`
notification with `status: failed` and `provider_turn_lost_on_restore`
went through `mapTerminalTurn`, which emitted `turn.failed`. The backend
maps `turn.failed` to `runTerminalState: failed`. #19658 handled only
the `thread/read` reconciliation path.

## What Changed

- `codex-session-terminal.ts`: a new
`settleRestoreLostTurnWithHeldResult` helper. When a terminal is
`failed` with `provider_turn_lost_on_restore` and the session holds the
semantic result that this exact turn proposed, the turn settles as
`completed`. `mapTerminalTurn` applies it first, so live notifications
and recovery reads follow one rule.
- `codex-session-terminal.ts`: the helper also covers
`acpx_active_turn_recovery_closed`. Runnerd's ACPX backend
(`acpx_provider_backend.rs`, `restore_session_if_needed`) emits that
code instead of restoring the conversation when its own state already
recorded the accepted result. It is the same restart loss, with the
result already accepted. #19525 already keeps accepted results when
close cannot prove suspension, and session close still handles
`provider_exit_unconfirmed`.
- `codex-harness-session.ts`: `reconcile()` keeps only the missing-turn
case from #19658. The restore-lost read case and the prior-terminal
check now use the shared helper.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: the restart paragraph now states that
the rule covers Codex, OpenCode, and ACPX, and both report paths.

## Verification

- Red before the fix, with the real Codex native backend
(`createCodexNativeSessionBackend`) and a fake transport through
`executeNativeSession`: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner
exec vitest run src/native-session-runtime.test.ts -t "journaled
completion proposal"`. The new `restore-lost live` scenario failed.
Green after the fix: the run completes with the journaled result on
`turn-1` and a succeeded terminal, and no `turn/start` is sent. The
`restore-lost read` scenario passes on both (#19658 already covered it).
- Driver red/green:
`src/drivers/codex/codex-app-server-driver.recovery.test.ts -t "live
restore-lost"`. With a held result, the live lost terminal was
`turn.failed` before the fix and is `turn.completed` after it. With no
held result, it stays `turn.failed` with the lost cause, so the #19501
continuation is unchanged.
- The driver case was extended to `acpx_active_turn_recovery_closed`
(red with a held result before the extension, then green). It was found
in a live replay where the run ended `failed`/`adapter_failed` with an
accepted `done` result.
- Suites: `src/drivers/codex/` and `src/native-session-runtime.test.ts`
(580 tests), plus `src/backends/` and
`src/live/runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts`, pass.
`typecheck:typescript` passes.
- Live chaos replays (ACPX Claude): results and a separate new signature
are in a comment below.

## Risks

- The rule needs a held result whose turn id equals the lost turn.
Recovery restores that result only from the durable
`run.result.proposed` for the checkpointed turn, so a result for another
turn does not settle it.
- A restore-lost turn without a held result keeps its failure and the
bounded same-conversation continuation.
- Real provider failures and other terminal states are unchanged.
- No schema, profile, pack contract, or database changes.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 8a34c1b62c fix(budgets): bound the accounting hold so one missing receipt cannot wedge a company (#19700)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Pending run accounting holds new company work until it settles
(#19497, #19606, #19673)
> - A run settles only with closure evidence: a verified local stop, or
a terminated remote sandbox. Without that evidence it held the whole
company forever. In restart-chaos storm 4, a single run held 35 tasks
for hours
> - Two more shapes kept the hold alive. A run whose result had already
been accepted never counted as closed. A recovery that already owned its
held reservation was refused by other tasks' recovering accounting, so
concurrent recoveries waited on each other
> - This pull request bounds the hold, closes accepted-result runs on a
verified stop, and lets an owned recovery finish
> - The benefit is that no single missing receipt can wedge a company,
while genuinely unknown spend still surfaces under the blocking policy

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Follow-up to #19497, #19606 and #19673.

**What happened?**
- Storm 4: run `f879895f` timed out in `session.open`. Its local stop
was never verified (its process identity is still recorded), recovery
ended in `terminal_failure`, and its receipt never became ready. From
then on, every new-work wake got 409 "New work must wait while a native
run recovers its unfinished accounting". That was 93 refusals, 35
blocked tasks, and no Retry.
- Storm 4: run `6d3c76bf` was resuming as the recovery owner with its
own held reservation. `reserveRunBudget` refused it because other tasks'
runs were recovering.
- Wave s7401: run `0a3a849d` failed after its result was accepted, with
a verified local stop. It had 10 receipts across 2 sources, all
incomplete with 0 tokens. It stayed "completed runs await accounting"
because closure only covered coordinators in terminal failure with no
result.

**What did you expect?**
A run without closure evidence holds new work only for a bounded time,
then settles visibly. An accepted-result run with a verified stop closes
like a terminal failure. A recovery that already owns admitted work can
finish.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Restart the control plane during several native turns so that one
run's local stop is never verified.
2. Observe the run stay "recovering" and every new wake refused
indefinitely.

## What Changed

- `run-cost-accounting.ts`:
- A coordinator counts as settled when it ended in terminal failure
without a result, or when it has an accepted result. The verified-stop
and remote-termination closures use that rule, which covers the s7401
shape.
- A native run whose provider never started settles at once, like a
pre-provider failure, with no charge and its reservation released. Its
recovery has settled, no usage receipt was ever journaled (a provider
turn journals one as soon as it starts), and its local process never
launched or was verified stopped (wave s7403, run 3c1d7b70,
`session.open` timeout).
- New bound `ACCOUNTING_CLOSURE_TIMEOUT_MS`: the remote runner reconnect
grace (7 minutes) plus 3 minutes. A terminal native run with a settled
coordinator and no closure evidence settles at the bound:
- its known usage is recorded as unpriced (or estimated from the rate
card), with provenance evidence "closure evidence never arrived…";
    - it is marked `accountingClosureTimedOut`;
- a `cost.accounting_closure_timed_out` activity entry names the run.
- The reconciler selects these runs, and `readCostAccountingWork`
schedules a wake at the bound.
- `budget-exposure.ts`: a timed-out closure's final charge is exempt
from none of the unpriced-block exemptions. Under the `block` policy it
raises the normal budget notice ("recorded usage has no reliable price")
instead of a silent hold.
- `budgets.ts`, `budget-reservations.ts`,
`run-dispatch/adapters/postgres.ts`: when a validated recovery owner
continues admitted work, admission and both dispatch rechecks apply only
hard stops and pauses. Pending and recovering accounting holds still
gate new work.
- `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`: documents the bound, the accepted-result
closure and the provenance.

## Verification

- `closed-native-receipt-accounting.test.ts` (embedded Postgres). All of
these fail on master and pass here:
- s7401 shape (accepted result, verified stop, all receipts incomplete
with 0 tokens): settles and clears admission.
- A run without closure evidence: held before the bound with a scheduled
wake, then settled with the "closure evidence never arrived" provenance,
the `accountingClosureTimedOut` flag and an activity entry. Admission
clears under `allow`.
- Storm 4 `f879895f` shape (terminal failure, recorded process identity,
no stop event): held, then released after the bound.
  - The blocking policy still blocks on a timed-out closure.
- s7403 shape (no receipts, model unknown): a run whose process never
launched, or was verified stopped, settles at once with no charge and
its reservation released. With an unverified process it waits for the
bound.
- Storm 4 `6d3c76bf` shape: a recovery owner with its held reservation
reserves past another task's recovering accounting, while new work for
another task still waits.
- Existing suites pass locally: budget-enforcement-scoping,
budget-enforcement-worker, native-stop-accounting, cost-data-quality,
heartbeat-cost-accounting, run-cost-accounting, budgets-service. Server
typecheck passes.
- The other storm 4 terminal-failure runs (`2e477ae9`, `e4d2e14d`,
`6d3c76bf`, `7d21a44c`, `4bc49df0`, `1d85fbd9`) were already settled by
#19673 in that database (`cost_accounting_pending=false`) and were not
holding admission. `f879895f` alone held it.

## Risks

- After the bound, a run whose provider might still be running settles
as unpriced. Under the `block` policy that raises a hard-stop budget
notice, by design. Under `allow`, work continues and a late receipt
still reconciles.
- A recovery owner skips accounting holds, so concurrent recoveries can
spend while other tasks' accounting is unknown. Hard stops still apply,
consistent with best-effort budget enforcement.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file editing, embedded Postgres tests).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 4612fa9fb4 fix(native): restart a drained Daytona run whose runner opened its session (#19711)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs on Daytona start a `paperclip-runnerd` process in a
sandbox. A graceful shutdown (every rolling deploy) suspends live native
runs "without cancelling provider work". The next boot then decides how
each run continues.
> - #19583, #19616 and #19684 let restart recovery start a remote
bootstrap again when durable evidence proves that no provider work
exists.
> - A chaos replay found another window. The drain suspended a remote
run just after its sandbox runner opened the provider session, before
the controller sent a turn and before a session snapshot existed.
> - Recovery accepted only an unfinished `session.open` in the
controller checkpoint, so it blocked the task as ambiguous. A Retry
recovered it, but automatic continuation was lost.
> - A related replay showed that the same-run bootstrap reuses the
sandbox. The interrupted runner can still hold the runner ingress port
there (`runner_ingress_bind_conflict`).
> - This pull request proves the "session opened, no turn" case and
stops the interrupted runner before relaunch.
> - The benefit is that a deploy during Daytona startup continues
automatically, without a port conflict.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A chaos replay (ACPX Claude on Daytona) sent SIGTERM while a remote run
was starting. The drain recorded `restart_suspended`. The dying
controller still launched the runner and finished `session.open`. On the
next boot, restart recovery returned
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence` with disposition `blocked`.

The decrypted controller checkpoint of that run showed:
- `run.prepare` completed and `session.open` completed (provider session
opened).
- Committed events `session.started`, `session.capabilities.updated` and
`session.goal.snapshot` (`ackedSourceSeq: 3`).
- No turn command. No run-profile session snapshot and no projected
provider events.

On the next run in that replay, a same-run bootstrap relaunched the
runner in the same sandbox (one lease for all attempts). It failed with
`runner_ingress_bind_conflict: failed to bind listener: Address already
in use`, because the interrupted runner from 51 s earlier was still
listening there. The bounded same-run retry recovered it on its last
attempt.

**Expected behavior**

When the durable controller record proves that no turn was ever sent,
recovery starts the bootstrap again. It first stops the interrupted
runner in the reused sandbox.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native run on a Daytona environment.
2. Send SIGTERM to the control plane while the runner opens its provider
session.
3. Restart the control plane after the controller lease expires.
4. See that restart recovery blocks the task with
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.

Root cause: in
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-restart-recovery.ts`, the
remote checkpoint proof (`remoteBootstrapProvenIncomplete`, #19583)
required an unfinished `session.open` with no committed events, and no
provider events at all. A completed `session.open` with only
session-open events had no rule, so it fell through to
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.

Refs #19583, #19616, #19684, #19524

## What Changed

- `native-bootstrap-proof.ts`: new `runnerdStateHasNoProviderTurn`
proof. The state must hold only `run.prepare` and `session.open`
(pending or completed) and no warm, staged or adopted state. Every
committed event must be a session-open event, with contiguous sequence
numbers from 1, so no event is hidden. Only the controller issues turn
commands, and it writes each one to Postgres before sending it.
- `native-runner-checkpoint.ts`:
`nativeRunnerCheckpointRemoteBootstrapProof` replaces
`nativeRunnerCheckpointProvesIncompleteBootstrap`. It also reads a
bounded number of `event:N` parts and returns which proof holds. It
still rebuilds the state in memory.
- `native-restart-recovery.ts`: a remote run can now claim
`bootstrap_incomplete` with reason `remote_session_opened_without_turn`.
Projected provider events may only be session-open events
(`harness.ready`, `session.started`, `session.resumed`,
`session.updated`), and only together with the stronger session-opened
proof. A turn or provider event still blocks.
- `native-session-executor.ts`:
- For a remote sandbox target, the executor accepts the same proof on
the restored record.
- Before the same-run bootstrap relaunches,
`stopStaleRemoteRunnerBeforeBootstrap` stops the interrupted runner in
the reused sandbox. It uses the verified identity marker and process
check from reattachment, which signals only a process whose identity
matches this run: SIGTERM, a wait of up to 10 s, then SIGKILL.
- The stop is best effort. If no prior runner can be verified, nothing
is stopped, and the bounded same-run retry still handles any conflict.
- `doc/run-log-events.md`: document the reason and the stop.

## Verification

- Red, then green: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts
-t "drained remote"`. Before the fix, the opened-session case (with a
projected `session.started`) returned `blocked` /
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.
- These keep the hold: a `turn.start` command, a committed
`turn.started`, an acknowledged event that is missing from the record,
and a projected `turn.started`. The executor test restores the
checkpoint and checks that the local proof is false and the remote proof
is true.
- Regression: `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration`,
`native-session-executor`, `native-restart-recovery`,
`native-bootstrap-retry.integration` and `heartbeat/recovery`: 1460
passed, 14 skipped.
- Stale runner stop: controlled sandbox-runner tests
(`native-session-executor.test.ts`, "stale runner stop before a same-run
remote bootstrap") run the real reattachment identity and process
scripts against a fake sandbox runner:
  - a verified runner that exits on SIGTERM gets SIGTERM only;
  - a runner that ignores SIGTERM gets SIGTERM, then SIGKILL;
  - a runner with another identity gets no signal;
  - no live prior runner means no signal.
- Live Daytona proof (wave `w-20261107T021837-s29`, ACPX Claude,
`--faults K2 --triggers time,result`, 4 tasks, concurrency 1). The image
was built from current master
(`paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:71f711ab…`), and its content id
matches this branch.
- All 4 tasks crossed a graceful restart, and all passed R1. Two of the
K2s fired on the `result` trigger, during a running remote turn.
- The K2 during a turn reattached to the live remote runner
(`reattach_remote_runner`, generation 2), as designed.
- Task t01 failed R6 with an orphan Daytona sandbox that no lease
references. The graceful restart came during sandbox creation. This is a
separate signature, outside this change.
- The timed faults did not land in the exact "session opened, no turn"
window. The integration tests cover that window with the evidence from
the saved replay database.

## Risks

- The proof relies on two facts: only the controller issues turn
commands, and the controller writes each command before sending it
(`#sendJson` waits for the checkpoint flush). A turn always leaves a
`turn.start` command in the record.
- The provider session opened in the old sandbox runner is not resumed.
The new bootstrap opens a fresh session. No turn ran in the old one, so
no work is lost.
- The runner stop sends signals inside the run's own sandbox. It signals
only after the existing reattachment identity and process checks pass.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits, GitHub CLI) and extended reasoning.

18be7ac696 fix(server): retire idle native sessions before tenant sleep (#18988)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Native agents can retain a warm session between useful turns.
> - That owner must close and save its files before the tenant can
sleep.
> - A failed close must keep the owner visible until retirement
succeeds.
> - This PR prepares idle resources under the exact current admission
hold, then takes a fresh safety snapshot.
> - Busy turns, uncertain closure and changed holds still prevent sleep.
> - CI also exposed a chat authorization race. The fix repeats full
authorization after the exact delivery commits.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18639 for local work and incoming wake boundaries. Related #18829
covers suspension receipts after admission.

**What happened?**

Idle preflight did not retire warm Native owners. Three failed-close
paths could forget an owner without proving that its provider stopped.
CI also found a false chat rejection when a delivery changed from
processing to processed between two validation reads.

**Expected behavior**

Retire only idle owners under the exact bounded hold. Wait for closure
and file collection. Retain failed owners. Scan safety after
preparation. Keep diagnostic reads passive. A newly committed chat
delivery must pass the full current authorization checks before
attestation succeeds.

**Steps to reproduce**

Finish a warm Native turn. Start an idle drain and request safety with
its owner ID. Delay or reject provider closure, or replace the hold
during preparation or scanning. The report must keep the instance awake.
For the chat race, commit the exact delivery between the first binding
read and its fallback read.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Current head `7f6f02b611dcf5a9a2b05173a44e9631eaf78058` normally
integrates actual master `1aa0c3639714f4976cfa56f95aae6e2b7d1235ac`. The
merge preserves every unrelated master path. Fresh exact-head CI and
complete review remain required.

## What Changed

- Retain uncertain Native owners after failed restart, idle timeout and
failed-turn closure.
- Prepare Native retirement through the existing heartbeat facade. Reuse
provider closure and stopped-file collection.
- Track preparation under the exact idle owner and expiry. Reject new
activity, changed holds and expired holds before and after awaited work.
- Take the final durable and local safety snapshot after preparation.
Keep diagnostic inspection passive.
- Cover ephemeral workspace retirement and useful next use, supported
plugin drain and SDK persistence, busy owners, failed closure and hold
replacement.
- Keep dedicated recovery storage explicit. Use the same validated
options for support and storage. Probe-free helpers retain the original
implementation bodies and preserve default callers.
- Complete the Native fixture through real retirement and budget
evaluation. Keep its rejection, file, credential, accounting and strict
NONE assertions.
- Repeat the complete chat authorization once if the fallback sees the
exact batch now processed. Preserve owner locks, principal and binding
checks, denial handling and the original retry deadline.

## Verification

- The support-mode regression reproduces one failure with four passes
under the old policy, then passes all five controls. It retains prior
allocation and cleanup cases. The explicit mode does not probe embedded
PostgreSQL or use an admin alias.
- The deterministic chat race baseline reproduces two authorized
failures with all four current-authority denial controls passing. Both
Slack and Discord use real PostgreSQL and the real authorization
function. The negative setup commits before the attestation transaction;
it does not claim to revoke access through a row lock.
- The product fix passes normal own App declaration emission with no
public declaration changes, plus both current normal owning compiler
programs (399 and 611 roots). The same six controls pass after the fix.
The full original file plus these controls passes all 30 tests with no
skips.
- The original controlled Native continuation passes: one test, no
failures or skips, 1.718 seconds in its body and 23.138 seconds in its
launcher. The original 40-second case and 180-second outer bounds are
unchanged. It verifies held closure, strict NONE, an ordinary authorized
comment, saved session/files, useful output, encrypted credentials,
accepted results and settled accounting. All ten observed processes and
groups close; worker connections and listeners reach zero. A separate
post-owner audit finds zero sessions; the successful owned database is
normally removed.
- Earlier preparation, HTTP, lifecycle, workspace and plugin controls
remain source-specific evidence. They are not a claim that every
final-tree test ran locally.
- The original CI assertion log is retained. The controlled race proves
a possible cause; the original CI SQL schedule was not captured. Two
other jobs lost their self-hosted runners and provided no test verdict.
Earlier asset timeouts, readiness failures and unexplained later
recovery remain separately recorded. No timeout, failure predicate or
authority check was weakened.

Focused public commands:

```sh
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/idle-sleep-preparation.test.ts server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts --maxWorkers=1 --no-file-parallelism
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-reviewed-chat-binding.integration.test.ts --maxWorkers=1 --no-file-parallelism
```

Local database qualification uses fresh owned test databases on existing
PostgreSQL, bounded pools and one worker. The local allocation adapter
changes only database allocation for this test module; it runs normal
migrations and client cleanup. It is not part of the published source.
No new cluster is created.

Local acceptance measured the `0a69efa6` integration with the same
committed authorization bytes. The later normal master merge adds
startup-timeout classification and recovery changes. Those paths are
outside the controlled healthy-backend witness; retirement and
authorization hunks are preserved. Exact-head remote CI at
`7f6f02b611dcf5a9a2b05173a44e9631eaf78058` has completed with 56
successful contexts and four skips. The complete current Greptile
summary is5/5 with no new actionable findings; all review threads are
resolved. Ponytail’s current turn is explicitly paused without a
current-head verdict; earlier actual findings are fixed and accounted
for. No whole final-tree local repository build/test run, live-provider
restore or deployed suspension is claimed.

Actual master subsequently advanced to
`d5c4f7dd02d408a261cedd9a1926b9900a4aedc4`. Its local normal-merge
projection with this reviewed head preserves all20 owned paths and every
unrelated master blob and mode. Current Runner TypeScript, App
declarations and their full owning compiler programs pass. Focused
Native cleanup and warm-continuation composition checks are being
completed before merge; the new upstream suspension-retry behavior is
not inferred from the older controlled-backend witness. The remote PR
head remains unchanged.

## Risks

- Privileged idle preparation can close idle warm Native sessions. It
requires the exact current hold.
- Failed closure retains its owner and can keep the tenant awake until
normal retry succeeds.
- A changed hold cannot authorize sleep. Started cleanup remains tracked
until it settles.
- The chat repair can perform one extra full authorization read. It
keeps the existing deadline and does not grant authority from the
fallback query.
- Unsupported resources and active work retain their existing blockers.
This PR does not certify every transport, plugin or deployed host.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` produced the delegated changes and verification.
OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, performed managing review and integration.
Both used repository tools and code execution. The coordinator's exact
backend snapshot and context-window limits were not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip 55c9c44e41 fix: preserve database-only failed controller evidence (#19714)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip preserves failed work as well as successful work.
> - Ephemeral enrollment must retain each selected controller source.
> - A failed source can already exist entirely in an encrypted database
checkpoint.
> - Its original inline snapshot does not create a local filesystem
dependency.
> - The migration owner must prove that both legacy files are absent
before accepting that case.
> - This change preserves the failed evidence without creating execution
authority.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #19678.

**What happened?**

Startup still reports `native_controllers_require_migration` for a
failed retained source with a valid database checkpoint, its original
inline snapshot, and no local controller or supervisor. The online
archive owner reports that the source is already absent. The existing
database-only preservation case accepts only a missing inline snapshot.

**Expected behavior**

Accept the exact database-only failed evidence after full checkpoint and
identity validation. Keep a present local payload blocked. Retain the
failed run, original snapshot, coordinator, task pointer and queued
work.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Store a valid encrypted checkpoint for a failed native run.
2. Keep its matching inline session snapshot and terminal-failure
coordinator.
3. Remove both legacy controller files.
4. Check local controller obligations.
5. The old owner reports an obligation even though the evidence is
already in the database.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The fix builds on current master `d5c4f7dd02`.

**Deployment mode**

Hosted native Runner with durable controller checkpoints. The local
regression uses the existing real PostgreSQL and encrypted checkpoint
fixture.

## What Changed

- Add a narrow database-only failed-source preservation case to the
existing migration owner.
- Require the decoded checkpoint, protocol header, admitted execution,
selected run and inline snapshot to match their exact scope.
- Require both the controller and supervisor paths to be absent. A file
or link keeps the local obligation blocked.
- Retain the earlier null-snapshot predicate and all original failed
execution evidence. Create no recovery metadata or executable authority.
- Exercise the actual startup and maintenance consumers. Document the
preservation boundary.

## Verification

- Final revision `1b1da543dafd576e3c420657e3c2c6d0c882172d`: all checks
are terminal, with 56 successful and four skipped, zero pending and zero
failures. The [required CI
aggregate](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42329501690/job/128275664414)
passed. Build, types, server/Runner/serialized suites, end-to-end
aggregate and Snyk passed. [Fresh exact-head
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19714#issuecomment-6701018015)
is 5/5 with no open threads.

- Review found that the first non-recovery assertion stopped at the
queued fixture's missing current binding. The fixture now binds the
exact native issue/session before calling the real resolver and asserts
`unsupported:metadata_format` from the selected failed source. That
corrected case passes in 4.58 seconds, with wrapper exit 0 and cleanup
complete. The production predicate is unchanged. The original startup
RED remains valid. The final source/test type graph, module boundaries
and diff checks pass. Fresh revision CI and review remain required.

- The actual startup regression failed before the source change: one
case, 16.62 seconds, expected the absent-files obligation to be false
but received true. The wrapper exited 1 and completed cleanup. This
failure is retained.
- The final focused owner run passed nine cases in 10.79 seconds. It
covers the new DB-only case, controller/supervisor presence, every
inline scope field, foreign checkpoint Runner/session identities, the
unchanged null-snapshot case, and existing online/offline archival
controls. The wrapper exited 0 and completed cleanup.
- The new case verifies unchanged run, coordinator, checkpoint and
task-session rows, retained queued work, no upload, and no invented
recoverable session.
- The full qualified server/test source type graph passes with
db/shared/Runner source aliases. Module boundaries and diff checks pass.
Required broad package builds and regression suites remain in CI.
- Read-only source diagnosis validated one exact existing checkpoint
with the canonical decoder and matching header, run, Runner and session
bindings. No source profile or secret values were emitted. No hosted
mutation, admission hold, cancellation, status change, or
writers-stopped claim was performed.

## Risks

- A false database-only classification could hide local bytes. Both
exact legacy paths must be absent, and every protocol and database
binding must match.
- Corrupt or mismatched checkpoints still fail closed. Existing failed
evidence does not become successful or executable.
- The original null-snapshot case is unchanged. Present local files
still require the existing preservation path.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 f09b4704b6 fix(recovery): keep the agent's work when Retry continues after exhausted or blocked recovery (#19666)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Task recovery restarts agent work after a control-plane restart or a
failed run
> - When automatic recovery runs out or is blocked, the user clicks
Retry
> - Retry then started a fresh isolated attempt cloned from committed
HEAD, so the agent lost its uncommitted files, its task branch and the
worktree Git link
> - A restart must never lose the agent's work
> - This pull request makes Retry keep the task's own workspace when
that is safe, and tells the agent where the old files are when a fresh
attempt is still required
> - The benefit is that a Retry continues the real work instead of
starting over

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
After `native_restart_recovery_blocked` or an exhausted recovery
generation, a Retry ran in
`isolated-workspace-attempts/<company>/<issue>/<run>/workspace`. That
directory was a detached clone of the base ref. It did not contain the
uncommitted edits from the issue's git worktree. It was not on the task
branch. The agent was not told where the old files were. A restart-chaos
wave graded this as an R2 failure (`pre_fault_files_lost`). A second
defect: when a restart hit the bootstrap of a fresh attempt, preparing
the same run again failed with
`isolated_task_directory_binding_mismatch`, so the Retry could not
finish.

**Expected behavior**
Retry continues in the task's own workspace with its edits and `.git`
intact when no other writer can hold it. When a fresh attempt is really
needed, the old directory stays as it was and the agent gets its path
and its changed files. Preparing the same attempt again after a restart
is idempotent.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `e482f0f632`, restart-chaos waves on 2026-11-06.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native task in a git worktree. Let the agent write an
uncommitted file.
2. Kill the control plane so recovery ends in
`native_restart_recovery_blocked` or an exhausted generation.
3. Click Retry.
4. The successor runs in a fresh clone without the uncommitted file or
the task branch.

Root cause:
- `server/src/services/fresh-workspace-continuation.ts`
`canSelectFreshWorkspace` returns a fresh intent for every task Retry
that has a system recovery record.
- `server/src/services/explicit-native-continuation.ts` (fresh selection
in the source loop) then always persisted `fresh_isolated_workspace`.
- `server/src/services/fresh-workspace-seed.ts`
`materializeFreshWorkspaceSeed` clones the project source at the base
ref with `--no-local`, checks out a detached commit and removes
`origin`. Uncommitted work and the branch are not carried over.
- RC-35: `server/src/services/heartbeat/workspace-preparation.ts`
rejected any reusable existing workspace while `fresh` was true,
including the attempt directory that the same run had already created
and bound.

## What Changed

- New continuation mode `reuse_issue_workspace`. At Retry admission,
after all stop proofs pass, `retainedIssueWorkspaceForRetry` checks that
the task's bound workspace is the single local directory the failed run
used, owned by the task, not a shared workspace, not under remote
storage authority, with no other lease, failed cleanup or running
workspace operation, a settled recovery generation, no workspace-export
failure, and a readable Git state rooted at that directory. Then the
Retry continues there with a fresh session. Otherwise the existing fresh
attempt is kept.
- The reuse decision consumes the generation's one alternative attempt
(`freshAttemptRunId`), sets the Retry strategy to `continue`, and
records `issue.retry_workspace_reused`.
- Environment selection pins the reused workspace binding and fails with
`retry_workspace_binding_mismatch` if the binding changed before
dispatch.
- Fresh fallback: the run's continuation context gets `priorWorkspace`
(path, branch, bounded list of uncommitted files). Git status is read
with optional locks disabled. The prompt tells the agent to inspect it
and carry over the work. The old directory is not changed.
- RC-35: preparing the same fresh attempt again after a restart reuses
the attempt directory that this run already bound.
- Reuse checks run Git through the shared workspace scan scheduler with
short deadlines, because admission can hold the issue lock.
- `doc/task-recovery.md` and `doc/execution-semantics.md` describe the
new contract.

## Verification

- `server/src/services/retry-workspace-continuity.test.ts` (embedded
Postgres, real git worktree with uncommitted edits):
- exhausted-generation Retry and blocked-recovery Retry continue in the
same worktree, `.git` file and branch intact. Both failed before the fix
(readiness was `fresh_isolated_workspace`).
- Blocked recovery without a generation and duplicate holds for one run
also reuse the worktree. A running operation orphaned by a restart of
the stopped source does not block reuse.
- The fresh attempt is kept when the workspace is unsafe: live lease,
running workspace operation, corrupt `.git`, missing directory, remote
authority, shared workspace, running export generation. `priorWorkspace`
is omitted for the unsafe writer and shared cases.
- `workspace-preparation.test.ts`:
- A `reuse_issue_workspace` Retry prepares in the original worktree with
its uncommitted file and branch.
- RC-35 red/green: re-preparing the same fresh attempt reuses its bound
directory and keeps files written before the restart. Another run still
gets `isolated_task_directory_binding_mismatch`.
- The fresh fallback sets `priorWorkspace` with the old path and
`unpublished.txt`.
- `environment-selection.test.ts`: the new mode pins the binding and
rejects a changed binding or cwd.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts`: the prompt names
the retained directory and its files.
- Regression files run locally: `workspace-preparation`,
`environment-selection`, `task-retry`, `quarantined-task-retry`,
`explicit-native-continuation`, `workspace-recovery`.
- Restart-chaos (`tests/restart-chaos`, local, B1+B5, codex+claude,
K1/K4/K6, concurrency 2, rc06-masked):
- Final head: wave `w-20261107T014633-s7206` on `c6776283f3`: 8/8 PASS,
all 8 restart-crossing. 5 tasks needed a Retry (t03-t07: codex B1 K6,
codex B1 K1, codex B5 K6, codex B5 K1, claude B5 K6). All five finished
in the original git worktree with `.git` and every pre-fault file
present (`workspaceMovedTo` empty, `lostFiles` empty); no "Retry keeps a
fresh attempt" log line.
- Wave `w-20261107T004829-s7205` on `29373a6b6a`: 8/8 PASS, all 8
restart-crossing. 3 tasks needed a Retry (t02, t06, t07). All three
finished in the original git worktree with `.git` and every pre-fault
file present; no "Retry keeps a fresh attempt" log line. (`cc178492ef`
only makes the operation filter stricter for run-less jobs.)
- Wave `w-20261107T000412-s7204` on `d197082107`: 8/8 PASS, 7
restart-crossing. 3 tasks needed a Retry (t02, t04, t06). All three
finished in the original git worktree (`workspaceMovedTo` is empty), R2
passed with `.git` and every pre-fault file present, and no "Retry keeps
a fresh attempt" log line appeared.
- Wave `w-20261106T231416-s7203` on the first commit: 6/6 PASS, but its
t01 Retry still moved to `isolated-workspace-attempts`. That instance
was not kept, so the exact rejection was not recorded. The likely cause
is a `running` workspace operation that a killed server left on the
stopped source (the source restarted three times). The second commit
treats such restart orphans as not live and logs the rejection reason. A
`--replay` of that t01 on `d197082107` finished in the original worktree
with its `.git` file and no attempt directory.
- Review follow-ups in `d197082107`, `29373a6b6a`, `cc178492ef` and
`c6776283f3` (run-less workspace jobs still block reuse; red/green
covered by the `running_operation` case): holds are grouped by source
run; the readiness fallback (blocked recovery without a generation) also
reuses the task workspace; Git probes go through the shared scan
scheduler with 10-15 s deadlines; `priorWorkspace` is only set for a
task-owned directory with no other writer; the reuse rejection reason is
logged; `priorWorkspace` uses the same task-owned, settled,
single-writer predicate as reuse; Git probes share one budget per
workspace; the RC-35 check is a pure path check; renames are parsed from
either porcelain column.

## Risks

- A Retry now writes into the old directory instead of a new one. The
checks above prevent a second writer. A stale binding fails the run with
`retry_workspace_binding_mismatch`; it does not write to another
directory.
- If the cause of the failure was inside the workspace itself, reuse
could repeat it. Workspace-export failures, restore failures and
required workspace recovery keep the fresh attempt.
- A workspace operation of the stopped source that started before the
source settled and before the current server process no longer blocks
reuse (a restart orphan). Operations with no run, of another run, or
started in the current process still block it.
- `priorWorkspace` is an optional new field in the continuation
envelope. Older adapters ignore it.

DottaandPaperclip d5c4f7dd02 fix: preserve shared Git sources during online workspace migration (#19688)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip preserves the work produced by its agents.
> - Remote workspace migration must preserve legacy Git history and
local edits.
> - Linked checkouts can share administration and objects with other
tasks.
> - A task lock alone cannot exclude writers of a shared or borrowed
store.
> - The online source owner must derive and retain the full physical
ownership closure.
> - This change reuses task, project, lifecycle and finalizer locks for
that closure.
> - Idle legacy Git work can then migrate while unrelated remote turns
continue.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #19642.

**What happened?**

Online migration keeps legacy Git sources blocked because several task
checkouts can share a project base or a private Git cache. A read-only
source observation found 160 pending Git records, 120 distinct paths and
nine common stores. Its largest project cohort contained 126 records and
110 task owners. An ordinary-directory fence cannot preserve these
sources by itself.

**Expected behavior**

Derive the physical source owners from stable Git metadata. Hold their
existing source and lifecycle keys through publication. Retain all
history and recovery obligations. Reject foreign aliases, unknown stores
and changed sources. Let unrelated object-backed work continue.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a managed project checkout and linked task worktrees.
2. Keep a settled prepared recovery source on a sibling task.
3. Keep unrelated remote work running.
4. Request an online import of an idle leaf checkout.
5. The existing owner keeps the shared source blocked.

**Paperclip version or commit**

This branch builds on merged #19642 (`7ac99718a4`) and fresh master
`fb3cf1a072`. It adds the Git closure. It does not add a writers-stopped
shortcut.

**Deployment mode**

Hosted native Runner with remote workspace storage. Local qualification
uses owned synthetic Git repositories, disposable PostgreSQL databases
and the actual archive and storage owners.

## What Changed

- Read bounded stable Git pointers, common-directory metadata and local
alternates. Derive the complete physical source ownership cohort.
Preserve all object stores.
- Retain common and borrowed store owners in preparation, lifecycle,
runtime, expiration and actual reopen paths. Keep company boundaries and
the existing 128-key bound.
- Hold exact sibling native recovery proofs under their existing
physical finalizer keys. Recheck descriptors, allocations, recovery
actions and source identities before capture and publication. Preserve
original states and warnings.
- Require leaf-first nested imports. Reuse the existing immutable child
download, restore and source comparison before parent exclusion.
- Bind the self-contained archive owner to the held Git namespaces. Keep
its three walks, history normalization, fsck, bytes and digest format.
Reject bare, detached, network, unknown or changed Git storage.
- Check both foreign path fields. Keep foreign metadata private.
Document the proof, bounds, source observation and remaining eligibility
limits.

## Verification

- Final revision `2934e41c923b93e16508b978c849b747c86be645`: all checks
are terminal, with 56 successful and four skipped, zero failures and
zero pending. The [required CI
aggregate](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42326464408/job/128266279210)
passed. Build, types, all server/Runner/serialized suites, end-to-end
aggregate and Snyk passed. [Fresh exact-head Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19688#issuecomment-6699760104)
is 5/5 with no open threads. GitHub reports MERGEABLE and CLEAN.

- Review then found two correctness gaps: an ordinary managed directory
inside an unrelated host repository was blocked, and a Git parent could
miss a completed nested operation after its child snapshot became
missing or deleted. Three actual-owner regressions reproduced both gaps
in 9.70 seconds. The corrected owner passes 12 focused cases in 17.08
seconds. It imports and restores only the ordinary root bytes, preserves
the outer repository, rejects both missing/deleted child receipts before
a parent journal, and retains valid/changed child coverage and
private-cache contention. Its wrapper exited 0 and cleanup completed.
The first bootstrap attempt failed before tests ran because the host
exhausted its 32 shared-memory segment limit; no shared services were
stopped and no pass is claimed for that attempt. The final qualified
source/test type graph, module boundaries and diff checks pass.
- Receipt scans keep canonical path resolution. A lexical SQL prefix can
omit children reached through symlinked ancestors. The observed full
metadata closure completed in 1.17 seconds; no measured bottleneck
justifies weakening that alias proof. Writer admission still rejects
uncertain Git ownership before mutation. Expiration returns its typed
skip, and reopen returns its structured failure. Runtime and lifecycle
do not bypass an unknown source. No broad error-contract change was
added.

- Full CI at `720104ea975e` exposed five existing boundary cases across
three server shards. Four exact cases reproduced locally as failures in
25.98 seconds. Reopen now preserves its structured failure when source
inspection rejects the path, without reconstructing it. Runtime
recognizes only the exact regular ignore-only `.git/info/exclude`
fragment; migration still rejects that fragment. The original
arbitrary-path and file-URL import/delete-host/resume fixtures keep both
supported input forms and use the genuine offline setup path after their
sole writer finishes. The production mode gate is unchanged. A new
real-owner control proves the offline flag still rejects a running
legacy database writer.
- The final focused run passed all ten cases across four suites in 22.75
seconds, including all five CI failures, invalid-pointer admission,
fragment rejection, offline writer exclusion and actual nested reopen
lock ordering. Its wrapper exited 0 and cleanup completed. The known
invalid-pointer case remains fail-closed; the separate unexpected-I/O
diagnostic retains safe error metadata without command text or
credentials. Existing Git stderr redaction coverage remains intact. The
final metadata reader suite passed 20 cases in 2.68 seconds. The
qualified server/test source type graph, module boundaries and diff
checks pass. No production assertions or timeout defaults were weakened.
Fresh CI and review are required for the repair revision.

- A later review found that the ordinary early return still used only
one foreign path field. The actual ordinary providerRef-only regression
failed as incorrectly eligible. One source-path owner now enumerates
both local locators for company/foreign ordinary and Git scans, layout
checks, early admission, lifecycle/reopen/runtime and
expiration/move/preparation retention. Capture and display keep their
original preferred path. The actual owner canary passed 49 cases across
two suites in 109.15 seconds. It covers
cwd-only/ref-only/different/symlink locators, same-company mismatches,
foreign owners, lifecycle ordering, Git/recovery imports and
expiration/reopen. Three selected-locator fallback cases also failed
before their guard; the final eight-case control passed in 31.05
seconds, including the configured alias and valid import/private-child
controls. All wrappers exited 0 and completed cleanup. The
metadata/locator suite passed 19 cases. The final source/test type
graph, module boundaries and diff checks pass.

- Review found two P1 gaps. Both configured-directory symlink cases
failed before canonicalization. The actual parent import lost an
already-imported child's unique private cache and failed its archive
fence instead of retaining that owner. The corrected real-owner canary
passed four cases in 20.78 seconds: configured symlink runtime
provisioning, private-cache contention before the parent journal,
successful parent publication after release, and unchanged/changed child
coverage. The metadata suite passed 15 cases in 4.14 seconds. Both
wrappers exited 0 and cleanup completed.
- A fresh source read-only observation found 160 pending Git records and
nine common stores. An additional exact receipt query found 1,243
completed migration receipts and 557 nested source paths under pending
Git roots. All 126 records in the largest project were present in the
captured Git metadata set. For all 110 present candidate workspace
records, the derived closure fits the unchanged 128-key cap. The worst
case needs 110 issue keys and one project key, with 17 keys of headroom.
Its 173 imported children introduce no physical issue owner outside
those 110 logical task owners. This checks the observed key bound only.
It does not claim migration eligibility or a coherent snapshot.
- The initial stacked CI did not run four Runner test lanes: trusted
master passed new --package-lane/--native-server options to the old base
lane script. The branch is now rebased onto actual merged master and
retargeted before synchronization. It includes the canonical current
lane parser without an unrelated Runner patch. Fresh new-head CI is
required.

- The actual importer/source owner run passed 36 cases across three
suites in 187.75 seconds. It covers sibling prepared recovery, unrelated
running remote work, common-cache contention, changed
coordinator/allocation/path state during upload, exact nested coverage,
dirty unpushed work, and existing expiration/reopen owners. Wrapper exit
0 and cleanup completed.
- A separate previously hanging lifecycle-worker restore passed in 17.33
seconds with the unchanged 15-second test-body limit. An earlier run
timed out in three expiration/reopen cases and blocked cleanup; its
wrapper later exited 1. These failures remain recorded. They are not
counted as passes.
- Two boundary controls first failed: a foreign providerRef-only alias
was incorrectly eligible, and actual reopen did not admit its distinct
cache owner at the initial source boundary. The narrow guards now
inspect both foreign locators and derive physical Git keys before the
raw lifecycle transaction. The foreign alias and existing real nested
reopen contention passed. The private-cache control first retained
contradictory recorded source provenance and stayed fail-closed after
release. The corrected present legacy-worktree fixture passed in 12.61
seconds. These failed attempts remain recorded; they are not passes.
- The metadata reader and serialized/local archive controls use actual
Git repositories. They compare archive bytes and digests, remove every
original source, restore staged and unstaged work, and run fsck. The
metadata reader passed 13 cases in 2.85 seconds. The local/serialized
archive controls passed nine cases in 9.27 seconds. All processes exited
0. An additional actual importer control changed a relative commondir
pointer to the absolute name of the same store during upload.
Publication was rejected, the uploaded journal remained available, and
original files stayed intact (one case, 5.86 seconds; wrapper exit 0 and
cleanup complete).
- The final rebased full local server/test type graph passes with
db/shared/Runner source aliases because reused dependency declarations
predate new master exports. The first rebased attempt reported those
stale declaration fields/tables, and is not counted as a pass. Module
boundaries and diff checks pass. Standard package builds, types and
broad regression checks remain required in CI.
- No hosted import, admission hold, cancellation, provider mutation,
source filesystem write or shared-cache Git command was performed for
this change. The source observation is read-only and is not a locked
eligibility proof.

## Risks

- A missing writer owner could make physical source exclusion
incomplete. Existing mutation owners retain the same
company/task/project keys, and uncertain metadata fails closed.
- A project can contain a large cohort. Limits remain finite. A bound
failure keeps the source blocked.
- Bare, detached, unowned or network Git stores remain blocked online.
Missing archived sources retain their existing authenticated
reconstruction path.
- Exact recovery proofs preserve authority and obligations. They do not
infer provider termination or mark a prepared descriptor finalized.
- This change does not claim all observed Git records are immediately
eligible. Existing preparation, provider, recovery, runtime and
source-change blockers remain.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 30857db55e fix(native): recover a run killed between runner launch and its identity record (#19694)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs start a local `paperclip-runnerd` process. The server
records the request to start it, then records its process identity after
it spawns.
> - If the server is killed between those two records, there is no
process ID to check after the restart
> - Restart recovery then restarted the bootstrap, but the executor
failed with `durable_identity_unreadable` because the runner never wrote
its state
> - The user's Retry then waited forever with "Retry is waiting for
Paperclip to verify that the previous execution stopped", because the
stop check needs a process ID
> - This pull request restarts that bootstrap and proves on the host
that no runner for the run exists
> - The benefit is that a restart in the runner launch window no longer
loses the task or leaves Retry permanently stuck

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
In restart-chaos testing, an ACPX Claude run was created and the server
was SIGKILLed 1.3 s later, right after `native.process_start_requested`
and before the runner identity was recorded. On restart, recovery
claimed `bootstrap_incomplete` (`dead_runner_before_provider_identity`).
The executor then threw `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
durable_identity_unreadable`: the state root existed, but
`control-plane/control-plane-state.json` had never been written. The run
failed with `native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`. A Retry was
accepted (HTTP 200), but no run was ever created. The issue stayed
blocked with `retryWait.reason=process_identity_missing` for over 20
minutes and through another restart.

**Expected behavior**
When the runner never wrote state, no provider started, so the bootstrap
can start again. A Retry should be admitted once the host proves that no
runner for the run exists.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `fb3cf1a072`.

**Steps to reproduce**
Create a native local task and SIGKILL the server about 1 s after the
run starts, after the runner launch is requested and before its identity
is recorded. Restart the server, then click Retry.

## What Changed

- `migrateRunnerdStateRootForExecution` (`native-session-executor.ts`):
for a `bootstrap_incomplete` restart on a local target, a root is
quarantined (kept for inspection) and the bootstrap starts again only
when both of these hold:
  - the root has no `control-plane-state.json`;
  - no live runner for the run exists on this host.

A state file that exists but cannot be read, or a runner that started
but has not connected yet, still fails closed with
`durable_identity_unreadable`.
- `unidentifiedLocalRunnerProvenAbsent` (`native-session-executor.ts`)
proves that a runner is absent when both of these hold:
- no host process carries the run's `--run-id <runId>` argument
(`paperclip-runnerd` is always started with it, detached and
unreferenced);
- no saved control-plane state for this run exists, in the canonical
root or in quarantine.

A provider starts only after its runner connects and writes that state.
- `native.process_start_requested` now records the launching `hostname`.
- `recordUnidentifiedLocalRunnerStop` (`native-local-process-stop.ts`)
applies the proof only when all of these hold:
  - the run is native;
  - the run has no process ID;
- its latest launch event is `native.process_start_requested`, from this
host;
  - all of its leases are local.

  A launch recorded without a host stays blocked.
- The process listing runs asynchronously with a 5 s deadline. A failed
or slow listing proves nothing.

It then writes `native.local_process_stopped` with null process IDs and
`basis: "unidentified_runner_absent"`. A later launch request
invalidates it as usual.
- The continuation and Retry gate (`explicit-native-continuation.ts`)
uses this proof before returning `process_identity_missing`. A dry run
checks the proof but records nothing.
- `doc/run-log-events.md` documents the new receipt basis.

## Verification

- `native-session-executor.test.ts`:
- The bootstrap restart with absent state was red before the fix
(`durable_identity_unreadable`) and is green after it (root quarantined,
backend admitted).
- Unreadable state, and a live runner that has not connected, still
reject.
- Proof cases: absent → true; a live process with `--run-id <runId>` →
false; this run's saved state → false; another run ID → false.
- `explicit-native-continuation.test.ts` (embedded Postgres, real
admission):
- The `absent` and `dry_run` cases were red before the fix (blocked) and
are green after it (admitted). Only the real admission records the
receipt.
- The `live_runner`, `saved_state`, `foreign_host` and `unbound_launch`
cases stay blocked.
- Broader local run after the review fixes:
`explicit-native-continuation`, `native-session-executor`,
`native-recovered-owner-followup`,
`native-runner-restart-recovery.integration` and `task-retry` gave 1836
passed, 0 failed.
- A chaos replay of the original task (`--replay
w-20261106T232854-s7103/t26`) passed (R1 PASS). Its kill landed after
the runner identity was recorded (`resume_dead_runner`), not in the
launch window, so the tests above are what reproduce that window.
- `tsc --noEmit` for `server` passes.

## Risks

- The proof depends on `ps -axww` listing every process on the launching
host. If `ps` fails or times out, the proof fails closed (still
blocked). Remote runners and other hosts are excluded.
- A runner that was spawned but has not yet written its state could be
mid-start when admission runs. It would still carry `--run-id` in its
arguments, so the proof refuses.
- Only the bootstrap path with no state file changes. Ownership,
checkpoint and reattach checks are unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19501, #15297, #19658, #19539

**What happened?**

Restart storm 3 (seed 7103, RC06 mask on, load 9–12). Codex B5 Retry
runs crossed one K1 restart mid-turn. After the restart, recovery
resumed the dead runner. The runner restored the conversation and
recorded `turn.failed` with `provider_turn_lost_on_restore`
(`recoverable: true`). The control plane started the same-conversation
continuation (`resumeInterruptedTurn` → `startTurn`). About 1 s later
the transport closed with `protocol_failure:turn_binding_mismatch`. The
run failed as `native_runner_process_exited: runnerd exited before
provider turn startup`. The task needed another Retry.

I reproduced it with the focused cell (`--workloads B5 --faults K1
--triggers retry`) and a temporary diagnostic. The failure is "Provider
semantic result did not name the active turn": a `paperclip/runResult`
reached the Codex driver while the continuation's `turn/start` was still
pending and no turn was bound. The driver waits for a pending start
before it handles `turn/completed`, but not before it handles
`paperclip/runResult`.

**Expected behavior**

After a restart that loses a turn, the run continues automatically when
that is safe. Each admitted restart attempt can continue once, within
the provider-attempt budget. A failure names its real cause.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run `node cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs
tests/restart-chaos/main.ts --env local --adapters codex --workloads B5
--faults K1 --triggers retry --tasks 2 --concurrency 2 --seed 4040
--rc06-masked`.
2. When a lost turn's continuation receives a semantic result before its
start settles, the run fails with `turn_binding_mismatch` and the task
needs a Retry. The race is intermittent: 1 of about 14 lost turns in my
runs.

**Root cause**

-
`packages/paperclip-runner/src/drivers/codex/codex-session-notifications.ts`:
the `paperclip/runResult` branch checked the active-turn binding without
waiting for `state.turnStartSettled`. The `turn/completed` branch
already waits.
- `codex-harness-session.ts` `startTurn`: the driver's own protocol
failure closed the transport. The pending start then reported the runner
exit, which hid the cause.
- `codex-session-terminal.ts` `mapTerminalTurn`: a consumed one-shot
marker blocked every later continuation in the run, even when the newly
lost turn was that continuation itself.

The one-continuation allowance is per run, not per issue or session
lineage: attaching a new run resets the marker. The storm runs did
attempt their continuation; the start race made it fail.

## What Changed

- Codex driver: a `paperclip/runResult` waits for a pending turn start
to settle before it is bound, like a terminal.
- Codex driver: when this session's own protocol failure ends a pending
turn start, `startTurn` throws `codex_turn_start_protocol_failure:
<code>: <message>` instead of the runner exit. CodexRpc errors and
protocol-integrity errors keep their own types. The server now
classifies this as `native_session_interrupted` instead of
`native_runner_process_exited`; both are retryable.
- A later restart that loses the continuation turn itself re-arms the
one-shot marker: the driver resets it as it was before the first
continuation. It does this when it maps the lost terminal, including
during recovery from a checkpoint taken while the continuation ran. The
checkpoint gate `nativeRestartInterruptedTurnId` stays strict: a
consumed marker still means the allowance is used. Each continuation
still needs an admitted dead-runner restart. The existing
provider-attempt budget bounds the repeats, and an exhausted budget
still blocks with Retry.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: an additive paragraph.

## Verification

Red before the fix, green after:

- `codex-app-server-driver.events.test.ts` "binds a semantic result that
arrives before its pending turn start settles". Red: `session.failed`.
Green: the result binds to `turn-1` and the turn completes.
- `codex-app-server-driver.events.test.ts` "names its own protocol
failure when that failure ends a pending turn start". Red: "runnerd
exited before provider turn startup". Green:
`codex_turn_start_protocol_failure: turn_binding_mismatch`.
- `codex-app-server-driver.recovery.test.ts` "offers another restart
continuation when a later restart loses the continuation turn itself".
Red: `null`. Green: `turn-2`. A checkpoint with a consumed marker still
returns `null`.
- `codex-app-server-driver.recovery.test.ts` "re-arms the continuation
when recovery finds the checkpointed continuation turn lost". This
recovers from a checkpoint taken during the continuation, then starts
the next continuation. Red without the re-arm (the marker stays
consumed); green with it.
- `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`: the same
checkpoint (continuation active, consumed marker naming it) is claimed
as `resume_dead_runner`. This is regression coverage.

Suites run locally on the final code:

- Runner: Codex driver, `native-session-runtime`,
`runnerd-restart-continuation` and contracts (745 tests).
- Server: `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`.
- `tsc` for the runner tests and the server.
- A few real-process tests timed out at about 6 s while six live agents
ran. Each passed when rerun alone. The settlement suite passed both with
and without this change at the same load.

Live (local, real Codex, macOS arm64), focused restart-chaos cell
`--adapters codex --workloads B5 --faults K1 --triggers retry,time
--tasks 6 --seed 4042 --rc06-masked`: 6/6 crossed a restart and passed.
R1 passed for all 6, so each continued without a Retry.

## Risks

- A run can now continue more than once in the same conversation, once
per admitted restart. Each continuation asks the agent to reconcile
unfinished actions before repeating them. The provider-attempt budget
still caps the repeats.
- A semantic result that arrives during a pending start now waits for
that start. If the start fails, the result is still rejected by the
existing binding check.
- The start race was intermittent (1 of about 14 lost turns), so the
live cell shows absence of the failure, not a forced repro. The driver
regression reproduces it deterministically.
- No schema, API or migration change.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 11c07c622c fix(native): restart a remote bootstrap retry that shutdown cut before runner launch (#19684)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs on Daytona start a `paperclip-runnerd` process in a
sandbox. Restart recovery decides what to do with each live or due run
after the control plane restarts.
> - #19616 added the `remote_runner_never_launched` proof. A claimed
remote run with no runner process request and no controller checkpoint
starts its bootstrap again.
> - A graceful shutdown closes the local runtime listener before its
drain. A remote run that is still starting then fails with
`local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable`. The executor settles it as a
same-run `bootstrap_retry` and releases its lease. #19596 treats this as
a restart detach only for local runners.
> - When the server restarted with that retry due, restart recovery
claimed the row. The proof accepted only rows that still held a lease,
so recovery blocked the task as ambiguous.
> - This pull request lets the same proof also admit that settled
`bootstrap_retry` row.
> - The benefit is that a graceful restart during Daytona startup
continues automatically.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A chaos wave restarted the control plane gracefully (SIGTERM) while an
ACPX Claude run on Daytona was starting. At 2 s after `stage.workspace`,
the run failed with `local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable`, and the
executor persisted "same-run resume persisted" with `recoveryMode:
bootstrap_retry`. After the restart, restart recovery returned
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence` with disposition `blocked`. The
task rested blocked.

Evidence in the saved database at that point:
- Coordinator `phase: retryable_failure`, `attempt: 1`,
`controllerGeneration: 1`, controller identity recorded, and no lease
owner.
- `failureDetail` recorded `recoveryMode: bootstrap_retry`,
`checkpointExists: false`, `providerEventsExist: false` and
`providerSessionEstablished: false`.
- The run had no runner checkpoint rows, no
`native.process_start_requested`, no process identity, and no
runner-sourced event. It also had no PID and no provider session.

**Expected behavior**

Restart recovery starts the bootstrap again, as it does for a claimed
run that holds a lease (#19616) and for a local run.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native run on a Daytona environment.
2. Send SIGTERM to the control plane after workspace staging and before
the runner is requested. The run settles as a same-run
`bootstrap_retry`.
3. Restart the control plane while that retry is due.
4. See that restart recovery blocks the task with
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.

Root cause: in
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-restart-recovery.ts`, the
`remoteRunnerNeverLaunched` condition required `phase === "observed"`
and a lease owner. The settled `retryable_failure` / `bootstrap_retry`
row failed that check. The remote classifier then returned
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.

Refs #19616, #19596, #19583

## What Changed

- `native-restart-recovery.ts`: `remoteRunnerNeverLaunched` now accepts
one of two coordinator shapes:
  - an `observed` claim that holds a lease (unchanged);
- a `retryable_failure` with `recoveryMode: bootstrap_retry`, run status
`failed`, and no lease owner.
- All other proof conditions are unchanged. The run must still have no
process start, process identity, adapter, tool or runner-sourced event.
It must still have no process fields, no provider session, no provider
evidence and no checkpoint. The same three-attempt budget applies.
- An `exact_checkpoint_resume` retry keeps its own admission path.
- Admission: before claiming a settled retry, restart recovery applies
the same admission as the resumption reconciler
(`readNativeSessionResumptionAgent`): task pause hold, agent status,
dependencies, ownership, and competing runs. An ineligible retry is
deferred with `native_retry_admission_ineligible` and keeps waiting.
- `doc/run-log-events.md`: note the settled `bootstrap_retry` case.

## Verification

- Red, then green: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts
-t "bootstrap retry"`. Before the fix, the proven case and the budget
case returned `blocked` / `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.
- New cases: the proven case gets `bootstrap_incomplete`. The
coordinator returns to `observed`, `nextAttemptAt` is cleared, the run
returns to `running`, and no recovery action is created. A requested
process start or a committed runner event keeps the hold. A spent budget
blocks with `execution_recovery_budget_exhausted`. An
`exact_checkpoint_resume` retry does not take this path.
- Regression: `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration`,
`heartbeat/recovery`, `native-restart-recovery`,
`native-bootstrap-retry.integration` and
`native-remote-retry-admission`: 337 passed, 14 skipped.
- Admission: a paused agent's due `bootstrap_retry` is deferred with
`native_retry_admission_ineligible`. It is not started (red before the
follow-up commit, green after).
- Live Daytona replay of `w-20261106T234719-s12/t02`, 3 runs, ACPX
Claude B1, using the recorded K4, K2 and K1 sequence. Image: the wave's
own `paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:2767e91c…`, with runner inputs
pinned to its revision e482f0f632 locally. The replays ran the first
commit of this PR.
- Runs 1 and 3 passed R1. Run 2 passed R3: one Retry worked on the first
click.
- Runs 1 and 2 failed R6 because the wave-end sweep found a run lease
still in `pending_cleanup`. In run 1 the environment delete also timed
out. These failures are not in this change's path.
- The restarts landed in other startup windows, so none hit this exact
`bootstrap_retry` state. The integration tests cover that state with the
same evidence as the saved failing database.
- Run 2 also exposed a separate gap. A graceful drain that suspended a
remote run after the runner launched (`awaiting_runner_reattach`) was
blocked as ambiguous on the next boot. The Retry recovered it. That case
is outside this PR.

## Risks

- The proof still depends on the executor writing
`native.process_start_requested` before a backend may spawn a runner.
The fail-closed tests pin that gate.
- Restart recovery and the same-run resumption reconciler can both see a
due row. Both claim with a conditional update on phase and attempt, so
only one can win.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 9a52a2dfeb fix(native): retry ACPX session.open startup timeouts and give cold Claude a 60 s bound (#19661)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs start an ACPX provider through Runner. `session.open`
opens the provider session before any prompt.
> - On a loaded host, a cold ACPX Claude `session.open` took longer than
its 30-second bound. The controller reported
`runner_local_connect_failed: PRP command session.open timed out`.
> - The server classified this as the generic
`native_session_interrupted` with `ambiguous_state`, so the task was
blocked at once. A person had to click Retry, sometimes several times.
In one restart-chaos storm, one task needed three Retry clicks, and on
another task both Retry runs timed out too.
> - The server already has a bounded same-run bootstrap retry for
failures that come before provider work (#18854). It did not recognize
this timeout. The 30-second bound also cut off normal slow startups.
> - This pull request gives cold ACPX Claude a 60-second `session.open`
bound, like Pi and OpenCode (#19487). It also retries a startup
`session.open` timeout automatically on the same run, from clean state.
> - The benefit is that a slow cold start on a busy host completes, or
retries itself, instead of waiting for a person.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18854 (bounded bootstrap retry for definite `session.open`
failures), #19487 (60-second cold OpenCode admission), #19665 (the
bootstrap proof that this change reuses).

**What happened?**

ACPX Claude runs failed with `runner_local_connect_failed: PRP command
session.open timed out` about 35 to 40 seconds after they started. The
coordinator recorded `native_session_interrupted` with `recoveryMode:
"ambiguous_state"` and `providerSessionEstablished: false`. The task was
blocked with a board-owned action. No provider event and no checkpoint
existed. The host 1-minute load was 17 to 44, sometimes with no restart
nearby.

**Expected behavior**

A normal slow cold start completes. A `session.open` that still times
out during runner startup, with no provider event, no checkpoint and no
turn, retries on the same run with backoff. At most two automatic
attempts follow the first. A run where provider work may have started is
never retried automatically.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run ACPX Claude tasks on a host with a 1-minute load of about 25 or
more.
2. Observe a run fail after about 35 to 40 seconds with `PRP command
session.open timed out`.
3. Observe the task blocked with `ambiguous_state` and a manual Retry.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `6c7cc2c5d6`.

## What Changed

The bound (evidence below):

- `coldAdmissionTimeoutMs` gives cold ACPX Claude 60 seconds (live
adoption keeps 30 seconds). The runner's Rust sidecar
`session_open_timeout` and the sidecar's provider handshake
(`acpxSessionHandshakeTimeoutMs`) give Claude and Pi 60 seconds too. All
three bounds must agree, or the shortest one fails first. Claude's warm
run attachment uses the same cold budget, like Pi.

The automatic retry:

- `nativeSessionFailureSourceCode` returns
`provider_session_open_timeout` only for exactly `<startup failure
code>: PRP command session.open timed out`. The startup failure codes
are `runner_local_connect_failed`, `runner_direct_wss_failed` and
`runner_ingress_unavailable`. The transport uses them only before
startup completes. After startup the code is
`provider_transport_failed`, which is unchanged.
- `nativeProviderRecoveryEvidence` treats the cause as pre-session.
Durable evidence still decides: a bootstrap retry needs no provider
event (`session.started`, `turn.started` and the others) and no
checkpoint. The existing budget applies: three attempts with backoff of
about 30 seconds, then about 60 seconds. When the budget is used, the
task is blocked with the existing "Provider startup failed on 3 attempts
before any provider work began" action.
- A timeout is indeterminate: the runner can open a provider session
after the controller stops waiting. Live runs showed both leftovers, so
the retry now starts from clean state:
- `prepareNativeSessionOpenTimeoutRetry` (server) runs when the failure
settles. It quarantines a local runner root only when the
restart-recovery proof (`runnerdStateProvesIncompleteBootstrap`, #19665)
shows that no turn began and every recorded process is gone. Any other
root, and any remote runner, stays `ambiguous_state` as before.
- `resetAbandonedBootstrapRecord` (runner ACPX adapter) runs on a fresh
open (no runner-recorded identity). If ACPX has a saved record for the
session key with no messages, no prompt and no events, it is marked
`reset_on_next_ensure`. Claude saves nothing before the first prompt, so
reusing such a record fails the first turn with
`session_resume_required`. A record that holds any conversation is
unchanged.
- A chat retry of an exhausted `provider_session_open_timeout` run is
accepted like the other pre-provider causes.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` and the Runner README describe the cause
and the bound.

## Verification

**Measured startup distribution** (ACPX Claude
`runner.session.bootstrap` / `runner.session.startup` spans from
restart-chaos run events, 1-minute load 8 to 44):

| Source | Bound | Successful cold bootstraps (s) | Failures |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Earlier storm evidence | 30 s | 2.9, 4.7, 7.4, 8.6, 8.7, 26.2, 27.4,
27.6, 29.2 | startups ended at 34.9 to 40.3 s (the 30 s `session.open`
bound plus spawn and `run.prepare`) |
| This branch, wave s3601 | 60 s | 6.3, 7.8, 8.1, 13.4, 14.4, 22.3,
22.8, 22.9, **37.3** | 0 `session.open` timeouts |
| This branch, wave s3602 | 60 s | 13 samples, p50 10.5, p90 17.9, max
25.7 | 0 `session.open` timeouts |
| This branch, wave s3610 (final head, load 28 to 42) | 60 s | 10.4,
11.3, 11.7, 12.0, 13.3, 14.2, 29.6, **30.4**, **30.9** | 0
`session.open` timeouts |

Under load, successes clustered just under 30 s and failures sat just
above it, so the 30 s bound was cutting the distribution off. With 60 s,
cold starts of 30.4, 30.9 and 37.3 s succeeded that the old bound would
have failed. 60 s is about 1.6 times the largest observed success, and
it matches Pi and OpenCode.

**Live restart-chaos waves** (local, ACPX Claude only, 4 in flight,
`--rc06-masked`, real provider, K1/K2 restarts):

- s3601 (8 tasks, load 19 to 32): 7/8 PASS. No `session.open` timeout.
The one failure is an R3 Retry signature after K1
(`native_restart_recovery_blocked`), not this cause.
- s3602 (8 tasks, load 17 to 39): 8/8 PASS. No `session.open` timeout.
Three Retry clicks were for `native_provider_terminal_failed`
(`provider_turn_lost_on_restore`), a different restart signature.
- Forced timeout, s3609 (4 tasks, B5, K2): a local, uncommitted fault
injection gave every other cold startup a 1.5 s `session.open` deadline.
Result 4/4 PASS. Run 4fe6537a timed out, retried itself on the same run,
and then succeeded through four K2 restarts with no person involved. Run
02799a85 hit the injection three times in a row; the budget stopped it
after attempt 3, and one Retry completed it.
- Before the two clean-state fixes, the same forced wave (s3607 and
s3608) showed the retry reusing leftover state: `turn.start` failed with
`session_resume_required`, and then "ACPX session is not open". Those
runs are the red evidence for the two clean-state fixes.
- Final head, s3610 (8 tasks, K1/K2, no injection, load 28 to 42): **8/8
PASS**, 0 `session.open` timeouts. The one Retry click (t06) was for
`provider_turn_lost_on_restore`, a different restart signature.

**Tests:**

- Red before the fix: `native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts -t
timeout` (embedded PostgreSQL, real executor, real resume claim). The 3
retry cases failed with `native_session_interrupted` /
`ambiguous_state`.
- Green: `native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts` passes 36/36. New
cases:
- for each startup failure code, a timeout retries on the same run with
backoff, keeps the task `in_progress` with an agent-owned
`resume_native_run` wake, and blocks after attempt 3 with a board-owned
action;
- no automatic retry when `session.started` or `turn.started` is
durable, when the code is `provider_transport_failed`, or when another
command timed out;
- a real runner root with an opened session and no turn is quarantined;
a root with a turn command stays `ambiguous_state` and intact; a remote
runner is never prepared.
- `codex-runtime-adapter.test.ts`: 113 pass. New cases: a 45 s delayed
handshake is admitted for Claude and rejected for Codex; a
never-prompted record is reset only on a fresh open; records with
messages, a prompt or events are kept.
- `abandoned-bootstrap-record.test.ts` (real `createAcpRuntime` with
`createRuntimeStore` and a controlled ACP peer that, like Claude, cannot
load a never-prompted session): without the reset, a fresh open reuses
the record and the first turn fails with SESSION_RESUME_REQUIRED after
`session/load`. With the reset, the provider receives `session/new` and
the turn completes.
- `vitest run src/drivers/acpx src/cli` in the runner: 107 files, 1,935
tests pass.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts -t "session.open|startup|bootstrap"`:
144 pass. `runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts -t "cold process admission"`:
4 pass. `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib admission_budget`
passes.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server` and the runner `tsc -p
tsconfig.test.json` pass.

## Risks

- **This changes Runner Rust code. The Daytona runner image must be
rebuilt after merge** for remote sandboxes to get the 60-second sidecar
bound. Until then, a remote Claude `session.open` still fails at 30
seconds in the sidecar (as a definite failure, which already retries). A
remote timeout stays operator-owned, because a remote root cannot be
proven clean here.
- A cold ACPX Claude start that hangs now fails after about 60 seconds
instead of 30 seconds.
- A timed-out `session.open` may have created an empty provider session.
No prompt was sent. The retry quarantines that runner root and asks ACPX
for a new session.
- Same-run retries of a fresh-attempt Retry run can still fail with
`isolated_task_directory_binding_mismatch`. This is RC-35 (workspace
re-preparation), which has its own fix in progress.
- No schema or API change. The new error code appears on runs and in run
error codes.

DottaandPaperclip b94963f91e fix: retry temporary repository catalog failures before dispatch (#19690)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - A task must check repository access before it starts agent work.
> - Repository discovery can fail while the user's existing grant
remains valid.
> - Discovery previously replaced a known temporary provider refusal
with an empty catalog.
> - The task then reported lost access and did not schedule recovery.
> - This change keeps temporary discovery failures distinct and uses the
existing bounded retry owner.
> - Each retry must pass a fresh access check before it can use the
saved repository.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A task with a saved catalog repository stops with an access denial when
GitHub returns an exhausted-quota response or HTTP 503. The task does
not start provider work, but the discovery layer discards the temporary
failure and returns an empty catalog.

**Expected behavior**

Known temporary failures before provider dispatch use the existing
bounded infrastructure retry. The successor checks the same responsible
user's current grants and reads the saved files only after fresh
discovery succeeds. A completed denial remains terminal.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Bind a task to an authorized catalog repository with saved local
changes.
2. Make its authorized GitHub discovery return HTTP 403 with zero
remaining quota, or HTTP 503.
3. Let discovery recover before the existing retry deadline.
4. Observe one successful successor using the original repository bytes.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master at `b8d94b3ad1`. A search found no existing PR for
this temporary catalog failure.

## What Changed

- Keep a safe typed failure for known HTTP availability and quota
responses. Honor the later provider deadline and bound it to one day.
- Propagate that failure only when fresh discovery cannot find a
required repository. Preserve successful partial catalogs and the
existing connection setup error contract.
- Classify the failure only before provider dispatch. Reuse existing
bounded retry, interaction ownership, and bootstrap settlement rules.
- Keep current grant checks, saved repository selection, normal Stop,
and provider-started failure policy.
- Keep provider deadlines when accepted interactions use their own retry
owner. Recognize secondary HTTP 403 rate limits with valid retry advice
while keeping ordinary permission denials terminal. This matches [GitHub
rate-limit
guidance](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/using-the-rest-api/rate-limits-for-the-rest-api).
- Keep direct repository request responses outside the automatic
bootstrap retry contract. Test successful partial discovery and
missing-required-repository recovery with two independent eligible
connections.
- Document task repository discovery recovery.

## Verification

- Behavioral RED: real heartbeat and PostgreSQL fixtures reached actual
HTTP 403 and503 discovery responses, started no adapter, and found zero
successors instead of one. Both cases failed before the production
change.
- Behavioral GREEN: both cases waited for the real retry deadline, used
the normal queue worker, ran the controlled adapter once after fresh
discovery, and read the original saved bytes. Two cases passed in 74.73
seconds. No external model or provider request was made.
- Deadline RED/GREEN: a combined Retry-After and quota-reset response
initially selected the earlier deadline. The regression now selects the
later deadline.
- Initial repair at `d8d4714a18` (same production source as
`018e8c52d345d79972d7907468080dc9908c299f`): seven affected files
passed, 69 cases in 185.16 seconds. That test-only cleanup then passed
all five real-database acceptance cases in 134.76 seconds.
- Commands: `pnpm exec vitest run` with
`heartbeat-repository-catalog-recovery.test.ts`,
`github-catalog-timing.test.ts`, `github-grant-metadata.test.ts`,
`project-repositories-persistence.test.ts`,
`task-workspace-repositories-persistence.test.ts`,
`github-repository-catalog-failure.test.ts`, and
`services/heartbeat/retries.test.ts` from the server source tree. The
acceptance file also ran fresh at `018e8c52d3`. A fresh five-case run
after the P1 repairs passed at `f490ca6b78` in 122.06 seconds. The final
eight-case file passed fresh at
`e5b2efab11919467850f55fd6345317132b9b672` in 124.62 seconds, using real
owned embedded PostgreSQL. It covers automatic recovery with saved
bytes, genuine denial, provider-started classification, normal Stop, the
direct HTTP route, and both partial-catalog outcomes.
- Review repairs at `f490ca6b787cf77df96d3d6edfb2ab9115eb19a6`: both
reported P1s reproduced RED. The real database interaction scheduler
chose a retry after 24 seconds before the provider deadline of one hour.
A secondary HTTP 403 with valid Retry-After lost its retry
classification. The narrow fixes then passed 44 cases across scheduler,
header, and metadata-contract files in 37.66 seconds.
- A real direct request through the task workspace router and normal
error middleware reproduced a 500 response instead of the existing 403.
Required-ID retry mode now applies only to admission and its rechecks.
The route and both two-connection partial-catalog cases then passed in
29.09 seconds. Both partial cases use actual owned grants and credential
bindings.
- All seven server type layers passed again at final head
`e5b2efab11919467850f55fd6345317132b9b672`. The affected test type layer
passed again after the test-only cleanup. Environment: macOS arm64, Node
26.4.0, pinned pnpm 9.15.4, Vitest 5.0.3, owned disposable PostgreSQL 18
on loopback. The current checkout's shared packages, plugin SDK, and
Runner were built first.
- One local acceptance run under concurrent owned test/typecheck load
hit the unchanged 15-second Stop-case timeout. Its four other cases
passed. The unchanged complete file then passed serially. The timeout
receipt remains recorded; no assertion or timeout was weakened.
- A provider-started failure retains the existing generic adapter retry
policy. It does not receive the catalog no-provider certificate or a
provider retry deadline. Fixture cleanup cancels its scheduled retry
through the normal owner.
- Final head `e5b2efab11919467850f55fd6345317132b9b672` has 59
successful checks, 3 allowed skips, no pending or failed check, and
Greptile 5/5 with no open findings. [Completed CI
workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42322202977).
- Additional local diagnostic for the late recovery-owner advisory: on
unchanged `e5b2efab`, the dedicated scheduler returned `retry_exhausted`
with attempt 3/max 2. The normal stranded sweeper then escalated once,
created no extra run, and started no adapter, even after catalog access
recovered. One case passed in 17.32 seconds. The existing
failed-predecessor path delegates to that bounded scheduler and returns;
it does not enter a new generic retry budget. No production registry
change was made. This diagnostic was not a CI case. Its local harness is
preserved separately at `74e3854eea3f7c4121fdcd9c8a8ad522cd8c7477` on
`codex/catalog-exhaustion-acceptance`; its production source is
identical to `e5b2efab`.
- Module boundary and whitespace checks passed.

## Risks

- A temporary failure from another eligible connection can delay a truly
missing repository for the existing limit of two attempts. It cannot
grant access.
- Unknown network errors and genuine access denials retain their
existing behavior. This change handles known HTTP failures only.
- Historical provider quota causality is unproven. This repair has a
separate local producer regression. It does not rewrite past failures or
queued user intents.
- Acceptance uses real local database and heartbeat owners with
controlled HTTP and adapter fixtures. It does not claim a live
native-provider recovery.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Codex (`gpt-6.1-sol`), with high reasoning, repository
tools, code execution, and controlled local PostgreSQL tests. The host
did not expose a context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 254b44f72b fix(remote-workspaces): recover retired roots that cannot be renamed (#19674)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote workspaces must retain saved files across process and sandbox
replacement.
> - Restore uses identity receipts to distinguish a retired owned root
from an unrelated directory.
> - Some overlay filesystems reject a directory rename with EXDEV even
within one mount.
> - That error currently prevents a valid saved workspace from being
restored.
> - This pull request replaces only a verified retired root in place
when that rename fails.
> - Runtime state stays in place. Each restore holds a root-specific OS
lock.
> - A durable workspace epoch fence rejects delayed older commands. A
pending marker keeps interrupted cleanup recoverable.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Workspace restore fails with `remote_workspace_restore_failed:
stage=publish code=EXDEV syscall=rename` when the retired directory
comes from a lower overlay layer. Retry repeats the same rename.

**Expected behavior**

Restore should publish the verified saved workspace and preserve runtime
state. An interrupted restore should remain safe to retry.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create an owned retired root with a valid identity receipt, runtime
state, and stale files.
2. Make directory rename return EXDEV for the existing lower-layer root.
3. Restore a saved workspace through `restoreRemoteWorkspaceDirectory`.
4. Repeat with an interruption before the new restore receipt is
published.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The regression fails before this change on base
`a2aa69bc6230c8b81de3588d7d5571b38db4dd04`.

**Deployment mode**

Remote sandbox with an overlay filesystem. Local regression: macOS
arm64, Node 26.4.0, source checkout.

Refs #19231. Refs #19251. Those changes establish the retained-root
restore path. This fix handles its EXDEV publication failure.

## What Changed

- Keep the EXDEV fallback limited to a verified retired workspace root.
Preserve runtime state and the existing ownership checks.
- Hold a private SQLite OS lock across receipt checks, file replacement,
cleanup, and receipt publication. Keep the lock file outside the
replaced root. Process exit releases ownership; a lost reply does not.
- Pass the existing workspace authority epoch from the real restore
caller. Write and sync a separate epoch fence before root changes.
Reject lower epochs, conflicting identities within one epoch, and
missing epochs on fenced roots. The fence survives SQLite rollback after
process death.
- Publish a pending marker without a completed identity until stale
preparation-receipt removal and directory-mode cleanup finish. A retry
can finish that cleanup. A higher authorized epoch can then restore its
selected save.
- Preserve later file and permission edits when adopting a completed
restore. Refuse unsafe lock files and malformed authority records.
Document compatibility and the stop-evidence boundary.

## Verification

- RED before the original fix: real restore commands failed with EXDEV.
The test preload changes only the kernel rename result.
- RED before the review fixes: a live command with an unconfirmed
timed-out reply overwrote edits made after retry. Tests also reproduced
incomplete cleanup after receipt publication.
- RED before the authority fence: a delayed older command replaced a
newer completed restore. It also passed after the newer command was
killed before root mutation. The final test uses real separate Node
processes, OS lock contention, SIGKILL, and a durable on-disk fence.
- Final local checks: 142 transport filesystem tests, 16 real PostgreSQL
restore-caller cases, and all seven server typecheck layers. The caller
cases verify the published receipt uses the current workspace epoch.
- Late review RED: an actual separate SQLite owner made the real
PostgreSQL restore caller mark an expired lock wait non-retryable.
Corrupt fence and receipt bytes also produced a raw syntax error without
the required refusal reason. Both regressions now pass. Only the test
clock advances the lock deadline; actual OS lock contention and the
production caller run unchanged.
- Lock contention stays retryable only under the existing same clean
writer, epoch, and snapshot proof. Four negative cases change those
fields and remain non-retryable. After the owner stops, normal restore
returns the useful saved files. Corrupt authority records stay untouched
and non-retryable.
- Safety cases cover same and different authorized identities,
process-death lock release, an unrelated root making progress, pending
cleanup interruption, malformed or missing fences, invalid input, and
unsafe lock parents/files.
- The first final transport attempt passed 139 cases and failed only
because the restricted shell could not open a Unix socket (`listen
EPERM`). The full suite was then run with the required local socket
permission. No production change was made for that setup failure.
- Reproduce the filesystem checks from `server/`:
`../node_modules/.bin/vitest run --config vitest.config.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-transport.test.ts`. Run the caller file
with `-t "restores a newer save over this workspace|preserves the
published workspace path"` and the repository test PostgreSQL setup. Run
`node scripts/typecheck-layers.mjs` from `server/` for all seven layers.
- Agent preflight, module boundary audit, and `git diff --check` passed.
No added code comments or private issue references occur in the patch.
- Local EXDEV proof uses macOS arm64 and Node 26.4.0. It does not claim
a new Linux overlay-kernel run or hosted recovery. Final source:
[`8092cc6b2ec448ff372337b1e7a43854eae7bb08`](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/commit/8092cc6b2ec448ff372337b1e7a43854eae7bb08).
[Exact-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42321313715)
completed with 59 successful checks, three conditional skips, and one
neutral check. Greptile gave this exact head 5/5. The independent review
passed. No review threads remain open.

## Risks

The EXDEV path changes files in place. It must finish before execution
admission. Participating restore commands use a private permanent SQLite
lock file and a separately synced epoch fence. The qualified sandbox
Node runtime must support `node:sqlite`. Lock contention has a
120-second limit and does not clear live ownership.

A legacy command that never acquired this lock remains outside its
protection. Hosted recovery must confirm that command stopped; a timeout
is insufficient. The new fence does not backfill that evidence. A
conflicting identity in the same epoch or a malformed fence stays
blocked. A higher epoch can recover an interrupted pending restore only
with the existing retired-root replacement authority. No controller
database schema, execution permission, or provider-state guard changes.

## Model Used

Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) authored the recovered
patch. OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, recovered, reproduced, repaired the
review findings, and verified the change with filesystem tests, shell
tools, and code execution. The Codex exact serving model ID and
context-window size are not exposed in this session. No value is
inferred for them.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 06bbcea12f fix(budgets): price lost receipts and stop restart-derived accounting from hard-stopping companies (#19673)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Budget admission and run accounting decide whether any task in a
company may start
> - #19497 made pending accounting an admission hold and settles a
stopped run's lost receipt as an unpriced charge
> - Restart-chaos waves still stopped whole companies. A lost Codex
receipt with complete token counts settled as unpriced because the rate
card only prices complete receipts. Under the default blocking policy
that hard-stopped the company at 0.38 of 3000 cents. In another storm, a
resumed run's continuation was refused by its own task's
recovering-accounting hold. Separately, unpriced charges with zero
tokens or a known partial cost hard-stopped a company at 120 of 2000
cents
> - This pull request prices a lost receipt's observed usage from the
rate card, lets a task's continuation pass its own recovering
accounting, and stops restart-derived or evidence-free unpriced charges
from tripping the blocking policy
> - The benefit is that a restart no longer pauses a company by itself,
while genuinely unpriced usage still blocks

- Wave A (K6 crash loop): native Codex run `5037b8d1` was killed
mid-turn. Its receipt was lost, but `usage_json` held gpt-6.1-sol with
28690 input and 220 output tokens. The charge was written
`cost_status=unpriced`, `pricing_provenance.source=unknown`, because
`priceCodexReceipt` returns early when `!receipt.complete`. 0.2 s later
the default `unpricedUsagePolicy=block` opened a hard incident at 0.38
of 3000 cents. The company was paused, and 6/6 tasks were blocked with
`canRetry=false`.
- Wave B (K1 storm): Claude run `2a7a8abf` resumed after the restart.
`reserveRunBudget` refused its interaction continuation with "New work
must wait while a native run recovers its unfinished accounting", so the
task could not settle its own recovery. A 0-token unpriced charge and an
unpriced charge with a known 0.81-cent cost then hard-stopped the
company at 120 of 2000 cents.

**What did you expect?**
A restart-lost receipt with known numbers is priced as an estimate, and
no restart-derived accounting state pauses a company by itself. A task's
own continuation is never held by its own accounting. Real usage above
the limit, and genuinely unpriced usage, still stop work.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Give a company a hard-stop budget with the default unpriced-usage
policy.
2. Kill a native Codex turn after it has reported tokens, so the final
receipt is lost and native recovery ends in terminal failure with a
verified stop.
3. Observe an unpriced charge for known tokens, a hard incident, and a
paused company.

## What Changed

- `run-cost-accounting.ts`: when a lost receipt settles and its usage
has known tokens and no known cost, price it with
`priceCodexReceipt`/`priceAnthropicReceipt` as a complete per-run
checkpoint. The charge is `estimated`, its provenance keeps the
rate-card source, and its evidence says "final receipt lost; observed
usage is a lower bound". The estimate is also written to the run's usage
so a later receipt reconciles against it. Zero observed tokens, and
per-model usage, stay unpriced (unknown is never shown as zero, and
aggregate totals never take one model's rate).
- `budget-exposure.ts`:
- The pending/recovering accounting hold excludes the run being admitted
and earlier runs of the same task (same `native_issue_id`). A task's
continuation and finalization can therefore settle its own accounting.
Other tasks stay held, and those runs still count as spend.
- The blocking unpriced-usage policy no longer counts these unpriced
charges: the settled final charge of a lost receipt (restart-derived,
any usage; later growth still counts), a charge with a known partial
cost, and metered API or subscription billing with no observed tokens.
Unknown billing with no tokens (for example Cursor Cloud) and
complete-receipt usage that has no price still block.
- `budgets.ts` / `budget-reservations.ts`: admission accepts the
admitted `runId` and passes it to the exposure read. `reserveRunBudget`,
the final dispatch recheck and the read-only admitted recheck all supply
it, so a continuation that reserves can also dispatch.
- Daytona wave s12 (run f1d98917, a blocked remote recovery with a
0-cent held reservation and every lease destroyed) is closed by #19606.
A Retry for that same task passes the hold through the same-task
exclusion here.

## Verification

- `closed-native-receipt-accounting.test.ts` (embedded Postgres):
- Lost Codex (gpt-6.1-sol) and Claude (claude-sonnet-5) receipts with
observed tokens settle as `estimated` rate-card charges with the
lower-bound evidence. The company stays active and admission is clear
under the blocking policy.
- A lost receipt for a model with no rate card stays unpriced but opens
no incident and no pause.
- A task's continuation reserves budget past its own recovering
accounting, while another task's run is still held.
- Unpriced charges with no tokens on metered billing, or with a known
partial cost, do not hard-stop.
  - Complete-receipt usage with no price still blocks.
  - The six new cases fail on master and pass with this change.
- Existing budget and accounting suites pass locally:
budget-enforcement-scoping, budgets-service, heartbeat-cost-accounting,
run-cost-accounting, native-stop-accounting, cost-data-quality,
budget-live-attempts, budget-live-usage. Server typecheck passes.

## Risks

- A lost receipt's estimate is a lower bound. The provenance says so,
and a later complete receipt still reconciles.
- Restart-derived unpriced charges no longer trip the blocking policy.
Usage lost with a killed provider is not counted against that policy,
which is consistent with budget enforcement being best effort.
Unknown-billing and complete-receipt unpriced usage still block.
- The same-task exemption relies on `native_issue_id`. Legacy runs
without it keep the old behavior.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file editing, embedded Postgres tests).

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 0b73c805e8 feat(environments): fill an unset instance default with a managed plugin environment (#19551)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A managed instance gets its instance-level environments from the
`PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG` document, which can declare plugin
environments next to the managed sandbox
> - A platform that runs managed instances wants a new instance to start
with one of those plugin environments as its default, without changing
the default of any instance that already has one
> - #19632 made boot fill the instance default only when it is unset,
local or deleted, in one locked transaction, and removed the revert, so
every existing managed instance keeps a set default
> - This pull request adds an `instanceDefault` flag to a plugin entry.
That entry fills an unset default through the same locked fill, before
the managed sandbox does
> - The fill follows the same readiness rule as an admin's default
write, so it never moves ready agents onto a plugin that has not
prepared them
> - The platform also needs a way to know whether a release understands
plugin entries, so the release now ships a small capabilities file
> - The benefit: new instances get the plugin environment as their
default, and existing instances and admin choices are never changed

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19632 (the locked fill-if-unset rule this builds on), #19508
(plugin entries in the managed config)

**Subsystem affected**
Server environments: the managed config parser and the managed
environment bootstrap.

**Problem or motivation**
The managed config can declare plugin environments, but it can't make
one the instance default on a new instance. An external platform also
has no way to tell whether a given release supports plugin entries
before it sends one.

**Proposed solution**
- Add `instanceDefault: true` to at most one plugin entry. Right after
that entry's boot ensure succeeds, it fills the instance default through
`fillUnsetInstanceDefault`. The managed sandbox fill runs after it.
- On a new instance the plugin environment wins. On an existing instance
the default is already set, so neither fill changes it.
- The fill declines while an active agent that follows the default
hasn't been prepared by that plugin. This is the rule the
instance-settings route enforces. When the plugin fill declines, the
managed sandbox fills as usual.
- Ship `server/src/services/managed-config-capabilities.json`, which
lists `pluginEnvironments`.

**Alternatives considered**
- A recorded one-time decision with a retry worker. It needed pending
states and extra checks for many writer and trigger combinations.
Filling only an unset default, under the existing lock, needs none of
that.
- Rejecting the fill whenever agents exist. That is stricter than the
admin route and blocks harmless cases, such as agents that are paused or
already prepared.

**Roadmap alignment**
This extends existing managed-environment behaviour. It adds no UI.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/managed-config.ts`:
- `ManagedPluginEnvironmentSpec.instanceDefault` (boolean, default
`false`).
- The parser refuses `instanceDefault` on more than one plugin entry, on
the sandbox entry (even `false`), or as a non-boolean.
- `MANAGED_CONFIG_CAPABILITIES` and
`MANAGED_CONFIG_CAPABILITIES_SCHEMA_VERSION` constants. A plugin entry
is refused unless `pluginEnvironments` is listed.
- `server/src/services/managed-config-capabilities.json`: `{
"schemaVersion": 1, "capabilities": ["pluginEnvironments"] }`. A test
pins it to the constants and to this literal contract.
- `server/src/services/managed-environments.ts`:
- New `fillPluginInstanceDefault`. It runs right after a successful boot
ensure of the flagged entry and logs a fill or a decline. Recovery after
boot never fills.
  - The managed sandbox fill now runs once, after the plugin entries.
- `server/src/services/managed-instance-default.ts`:
`fillUnsetInstanceDefault` runs `agentsNeedSetupForEnvironmentChange`
inside its locked transaction and returns `declined:
"agents_need_setup"`. A sandbox target never needs agent setup, so the
managed sandbox fill behaves as before.
- `server/src/services/plugin-environment-driver.ts`: the readiness
query is factored into `agentsNeedSetupForEnvironmentChange`.
`assertAgentsReadyForEnvironmentChange` wraps it and still throws the
same conflict.
- `doc/DEVELOPING.md`: documents `instanceDefault`, the fill order, the
readiness decline, and the capabilities file.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/managed-plugin-environments.test.ts` (embedded Postgres),
under `instanceDefault (fill only an unset default)`:
  - A new instance gets the plugin row as its default.
  - An existing sandbox default is kept, and so is an admin's choice.
- If the plugin was down at the first boot and the sandbox filled, a
later recovery and boot keep the sandbox default.
- An admin-cleared or local default is declined while a ready or
verifying agent follows the default without the plugin's setup. The
managed sandbox then fills it.
- It fills when the agents that follow the default are paused or already
prepared, or are pinned to another environment.
  - Without the flag, nothing happens.
- A new agent that follows the default gets the plugin in
`requiredPluginIds`.
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/managed-instance-default.test.ts`
(embedded Postgres): the earlier fill, lock and overlap cases pass. A
sandbox fill also succeeds while active agents follow the default.
- `npx vitest run
src/services/managed-environments-plugin-entries.test.ts`:
  - The fill order is plugin then sandbox.
  - When the plugin is down there is no fill, and recovery never fills.
- A failed ensure gives only the sandbox fill, and a failed fill keeps
the ensure counted.
  - When the plugin fill declines, the sandbox still fills.
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/managed-config.test.ts
src/services/managed-config-capabilities.test.ts`: parser refusals and
the capabilities contract.
- `npx vitest run src/services/managed-environments.test.ts
src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts`: pass. The route still throws
the same readiness conflict.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.
- I did not run the full `pnpm test:run`, `pnpm -r typecheck` or `pnpm
build`. CI covers them.

## Risks

- An instance whose default is unset at the first boot after this
release gets the plugin environment, if its agents are ready for it.
That covers a new instance, and an instance whose admin cleared the
default or chose the local environment. This is the intended behaviour.
- The readiness check doesn't lock agent rows. If an agent becomes ready
during the boot fill, it can miss the check, which is the same race the
admin route has. Agents created after the fill are prepared for the
plugin, because setup reads the current default.
- If the plugin is down at a new instance's first boot, the instance
keeps the managed sandbox default from then on.
- No schema change.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 fb3cf1a072 feat(ci): retry a failed Vitest case once in PR CI and report each retried pass (#19637)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Contributors wait for PR CI before merge, so CI wall-clock time sets
the pace of work
> - PR CI runs Vitest shards with 4 workers on 4-vCPU runners, so
timing-sensitive tests sometimes time out under load
> - One such timeout fails the whole run, and a re-run costs another 15
minutes or more
> - In one 7-hour window on 2026-11-06, about 30 failed jobs were test
flakes on commits that passed on a later attempt
> - This pull request retries a failed Vitest case once in PR CI only,
and reports every pass that needed the retry
> - The benefit is fewer whole-run re-runs, while each flaky test stays
visible so that we can fix it

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

PR CI fails the whole run when one Vitest case fails once because of
runner load.

**Subsystem affected**

CI: the PR Vitest lanes (general, serialized, workspace and Runner
package lanes).

**Current behavior**

Vitest uses `retry: 0` everywhere. One timeout under load fails the run.
A person must notice it and re-run the failed jobs. About 20% of
recently merged PRs needed at least one re-run.

**Proposed behavior**

PR CI retries a failed Vitest case one time. A test that passes only on
the retry gets a GitHub warning annotation and a row in the job summary.
Local runs, release, cloud readiness and master keep `retry: 0`.

**Reason and benefit**

A re-run of one test case costs seconds. A re-run of the CI run costs 15
minutes or more. The report keeps flaky tests visible. Separate pull
requests fix the known flaky tests.

**Breaking changes**

None.

## What Changed

- Add `scripts/ci/vitest-retry.mjs`. It sets 1 retry when
`GITHUB_ACTIONS=true` and `GITHUB_WORKFLOW=PR`, and 0 in other contexts.
`PAPERCLIP_VITEST_RETRY` overrides the value.
- Add `scripts/ci/retry-reporter.mjs`. It writes a `::warning`
annotation and a step-summary table row for each test that passed only
on a retry.
- `scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs` passes `--retry` to `vitest run`. The
`vitest list` collection step does not retry.
- The root `vitest.config.ts` and
`packages/paperclip-runner/vitest.config.ts` add the retry reporter
beside the existing reporters. The Runner config sets `retry` from the
same gate.
- `.github/workflows/pr-trusted.yml` reads the `CI_VITEST_RETRY`
repository variable. Set it to `0` to turn retries off without a code
change.
- Add `scripts/ci/retry-reporter.test.mjs` to `test:release-registry`,
and document the behavior in `doc/DEVELOPING.md`.

## Verification

- `node --test scripts/ci/retry-reporter.test.mjs`: 11/11 pass. The
tests cover the gate matrix, the reporter output, a real Vitest run with
a test that fails once, the wrapper arguments, and the Runner config.
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/run-vitest-stable-shard.test.mjs`:
39/39 pass.
- `node --test .github/scripts/tests/*.test.mjs`: 744/744 pass.
- Manual check: a temporary test that fails once ran through
`run-vitest-stable.mjs` and through the Runner package config. With the
PR environment it passed and wrote the annotation and the summary row.
With `GITHUB_WORKFLOW=Release` it failed. The temporary test is removed.

## Risks

- A retry can hide a flaky test. The annotation and the summary row
reduce this risk.
- A test that fails for a real reason now runs twice in PR CI, so a
failed run takes slightly longer.
- `pr.yml` loads `pr-trusted.yml` from master, so the `CI_VITEST_RETRY`
switch works only after merge. The retry itself is in the scripts and
starts with this pull request.
- Low risk otherwise: release and master verification are not changed.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool use and
code execution. A Claude sub-agent wrote the change, and the parent
session reviewed it.

DottaandPaperclip 7ac99718a4 fix(workspaces): fence legacy sources for online migration (#19642)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip coordinates AI agents and preserves their saved work.
> - Remote workspace storage replaces legacy host directories with
durable snapshots.
> - Several legacy workspace records can name one physical project
directory.
> - A task lock alone cannot exclude a new task that selects that
directory.
> - Terminal recovery records can retain valid sources after physical
writers settle.
> - This change fences the source through its real preparation and
lifecycle owners.
> - Idle ordinary sources can then migrate while unrelated remote work
continues.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Online migration rejects ordinary legacy directories when several
workspace records name the same path. A source inspection found 45
aliases across three project roots with no root Git marker or previously
imported nested child. The instance also had unrelated running remote
work. Requiring the whole instance to drain prevented useful migration
of these idle sources.

Terminal native sources and superseded finalization attempts also remain
blocked after their exact physical and durable owners settle. Their
files, provider allocations and recovery records must remain available
through the change of file authority.

**Expected behavior**

Migrate an idle ordinary source under a derived physical source fence.
Let unrelated object-backed turns continue. Preserve provider and
recovery obligations. Keep unknown writers, shared Git stores and
uncertain source state blocked.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create several local workspace records for one managed project
directory.
2. Give the aliases different source tasks. Leave their local writers
idle.
3. Keep a valid remote workspace turn running on another source.
4. Inspect or apply migration to an alias. The old owner returns
`overlapping_workspace_requires_maintenance`.
5. Retain a terminal native prepared source with a null coordinator
owner, or an old finalize attempt with an exact later committed receipt.
The old online path keeps these sources blocked.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Current tested head: `7478c817f09f7eed396922c0f7831af07ae6ff14`, based
on master `8621bcf53ee2e4bbefb7d193add42dd544ca06e8`. Related recovery
work: #19131.

**Deployment mode**

Hosted native Runner with remote workspace storage. Qualification uses
disposable local PostgreSQL databases, actual archive/storage owners and
synthetic source trees. The source observations were read-only.

## What Changed

- Retain the existing company/task source keys and add one physical
managed-project key. Heartbeat source selection, materialization, reopen
and lifecycle owners share it. Configured aliases of canonical task
directories retain their original task key.
- Fence runtime provision and each configured service CWD through both
startup owners. Check all unsettled service CWDs for physical source
overlap, even when workspace IDs differ. Runs with no services keep
their filesystem-free path.
- Derive a bounded ordinary alias closure. Lock every alias task and
lifecycle key. Reject foreign companies, changed membership, unproven
descendants, included Git metadata and other unresolved writer
obligations.
- Commit remote authority on the connection that holds source exclusion.
Refresh a stale selected local workspace after admission if migration
published remote authority. Publish activity after commit.
- Admit exact terminal native recovery sources under the existing
physical finalizer keys. Bind descriptors, allocations and owner
checkpoints to journaled fingerprints. Recheck them before capture and
publication.
- Add a separate company-scoped online entry for exact superseded
finalization receipts. Keep the offline entry's deployment prerequisites
and keep inventory read-only.
- Document the proof and the remaining Git/common-store extension. The
original files stay in place. No new scheduler, deployment action or
database migration is added.

## Verification

- Review found that the real reopen path could hold lifecycle exclusion
while waiting for a project source. The new actual nested-reopen
regression failed before the repair: lifecycle lock count was 1 while
another connection held the project fence. The repair acquires declared
and physical project sources before reconstruction and lifecycle. The
contention case, ordinary-fetch restore and runtime nested restore
passed. The lifecycle-worker restore first completed in 16.64 seconds
but exceeded its unchanged 15-second body limit; a bounded warm rerun
passed at that same limit. Both wrappers exited and completed cleanup.
The source type graph, module-boundary check and diff check pass. Final
7478 CI passed: 58 successful jobs, three skipped, one neutral and a
successful Snyk context. Fresh Greptile is 5/5 for exact7478, with no
unresolved threads. [Final
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42318150314/job/128240631573).

- Full CI on `e4283b3452` passed the other server, build and type
checks. One exposure owner case failed: two execution workspaces
received one preview pair after source admission serialized their
starts. The first local seven-case run reproduced that failure; adding
the owner argument alone did not change the hash payload. The completed
repair binds run-scoped reuse to its execution-workspace owner. All
seven existing real-process/fake-broker cases then passed in 13.81
seconds, with wrapper exit 0 and cleanup complete. Public scope IDs and
explicit project/agent sharing are unchanged. The final7478 head passed
all required CI and fresh review gates.

- The service/source/restore owner canary passed 25 cases across four
suites before the final no-service fast-path guard (41.33 seconds). This
includes actual project service processes with a different project ID
and no execution-workspace ID. Their startup waits for source ownership,
migration stays blocked while they run, and the source becomes eligible
after their verified stop. The final three-case runtime canary passed at
the final source inputs (18.70 seconds). It covers that fast path and
both service-CWD variants. Both wrappers exited 0 and completed cleanup.
- The boundary-repair canary passed 9 cases across four suites at
`7c18f1c170`. It covers the real rehome/conversion gateway, project
command provisioning, future task selection, stale imported authority,
foreign-company binding, and existing standalone filesystem callers. The
shared PostgreSQL wrapper exited 0 and completed cleanup. Duration:
94.15 seconds.
- The P1 diagnostic passed 46 cases across five suites at the pre-rebase
P1 revision. It covers the actual importer with an export warning
created by `recordNativeFinalizationFailure`, strict
prepared-source/action bindings, finalizer locks, source/lifecycle
races, unrelated remote execution, and bare Git with external
alternates. It uses the repository shared PostgreSQL wrapper,
`--fsModuleCache`, and a local-only 90-second hook allowance. Duration:
245.44 seconds. No product timeout changed.
- The canonical retained-directory compatibility check passed 22 cases
across two suites. Missing archived task directories still import from
authenticated restore points; they do not need a present-directory
source proof.
- Both initial P1 regressions were observed before the fix. The real
finalizer warning made the importer ineligible. The old archive owner
accepted a nested bare repository borrowing external objects. The new
cases pass and preserve the original warning, prepared descriptor,
allocations and files.
- Prior attempts remain non-passes: the first 23-case canary passed on
an earlier head; its exact-head rerun hit 30-second database
setup/cleanup limits. A read of the owned PostgreSQL server found a
template clone waiting on `DataFileExtend` for 58 seconds. A broader
owner run was intentionally interrupted during slow existing heartbeat
setup. One diagnostic invocation used an invalid CLI option and executed
no tests. A later review canary passed 21 cases and failed the new real
restore contention case: cwd-only admission missed the declared project
of an external worktree. Its fixture also omitted the required
file-repository authorization callback and produced an unhandled
rejection after the failed assertion. The repaired run passed 22 cases,
exited 0 and completed cleanup. These earlier failures are not reported
as passes.
- The recovery owner passed 37 PostgreSQL cases, including 14 new and 23
existing finalized-recovery cases. The operation reconciliation owner
passed 40 cases. The initial archive run passed 103 cases and found a
missing closed diagnostic entry; the corrected diagnostic and expanded
Git rejection cases pass in the P1 run.
- The full server type graph passes with the Runner source exports
mapped locally because this checkout has no built Runner declarations.
The latest module-boundary check and `git diff --check` pass. Standard
package build/typecheck and broad final-head regression coverage remain
required in CI.
- The initial CI exposed missing admission scopes for standalone
filesystem APIs and a changed foreign-company error. The latest repair
keeps those APIs independent of a database and holds physical fences at
their actual database-backed mutation owners. The branch also includes
the existing master fix for unchanged Runner default-model assertions.
New review findings and new-head CI are being checked.
- The local canary command and bounded source selection are documented
in `doc/plans/2026-11-06-online-ordinary-source-fence.md`. Source
observations only read data. A fresh bounded metadata probe found 254
pending legacy records and zero unsettled local-process services. No
live import, hold, cancellation, provider action or source filesystem
write was performed for this change.

## Risks

- Run-scoped reuse now includes execution-workspace ownership in its
private key. Explicit project/agent sharing keeps its previous identity.
- A missing writer owner could make a source proof unsafe. Admission
derives physical aliases, includes future project selection and retains
all existing source/lifecycle/finalizer locks. Unknown and changed state
fail closed.
- Cross-company physical alias checks use bounded minimal-path pages.
Lexical-prefix filtering cannot safely replace them because a symlink
can hide a foreign alias. Unknown paths or more than 10,240 foreign
records leave the source explicitly unproven. More than 1,000
same-company local records also fail closed.
- The project key can serialize local preparation within one project. A
first project waits; additional project acquisition fails on contention
to avoid a lock cycle. Remote authority keeps its remote preparation
path.
- Recovery preservation does not prove provider termination or
successful file recovery. Existing provider allocations, checkpoints,
task intent and recovery actions remain authoritative.
- This slice does not finish shared Git migration. Git
administrative/common-object/alternates closure and exact nested
imported-child coverage remain the next owned extension. No global
writers-stopped shortcut is used online.

DottaandPaperclip 7aced7a46c docs: restore task composer keyboard guidance (#19680)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and tasks.
> - Task composers have two keyboard modes.
> - The product guide explains these modes.
> - The routine feature merge removed that paragraph.
> - This pull request restores the paragraph beside the routine
guidance.
> - Readers can find both behaviors.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19128. This change addresses [the late documentation
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19128#discussion_r4492144137).

**Issue type**

Missing documentation.

**Where is the issue?**

The Task Management section in doc/PRODUCT.md.

**What's wrong?**

The routine feature merge removed the paragraph about Enter,
Shift+Enter, and the optional Command/Ctrl+Enter setting.

**Suggested fix**

Restore the exact paragraph from before the merge. Keep the routine
section.

## What Changed

- Restore five lines in doc/PRODUCT.md.
- Keep the routine responsibility section.

## Verification

- Final qualification at `c423853f51c2bb698a65c746ed5e32d084ef9046`:
[required CI
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42317059645/job/128236866986),
including typecheck, build, all test lanes, E2E, and verify. The
snapshot has 58 successful check runs, three conditional skips, one
neutral advisory job, and a successful legacy Snyk status. No pending or
failed checks remain. Greptile and Paperclip Review both score this
exact head 5/5; all review threads are resolved.

- A local content check confirms that the restored paragraph matches the
text before #19128. Current keyboard handling and the Experimental
setting still match the paragraph. Whitespace checks pass.
- Local `pnpm verify` could not start because the restored checkout
lacked its `tsx` dependency. The dependency-free selection command
completed with exit 2 because PRODUCT.md is a global input. Neither
attempt is represented as a test pass; the successful final CI supplies
that broader coverage.
- This restores documentation only. Runtime code, schema, and behavior
do not change. Review verified the source behavior and the removed
paragraph; no separate browser acceptance is claimed.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change restores existing product guidance.
- No runtime behavior or database change is included.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 72f7b42fe3 Preserve settled failed controller state during online migration (#19678)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip controls agent work across web-server releases.
> - Volume-free servers need retained controller state in shared
storage.
> - Successful settled sources already support online migration.
> - Some retained failed sources have no accepted result and must stay
available for recovery inspection.
> - This change copies those sources under task, coordinator and
publication fences while unrelated work continues.
> - The original files, failed status and recovery warnings remain
unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19038. Refs #19631.

**What are you trying to improve?**
Preserve retained failed controller files without waiting for global
idle.

**What problem does this solve?**
The online producer skips terminal failed controllers. Their files can
still be needed for recovery inspection even when no accepted provider
artifact proves executable continuation.

**What would the improvement look like?**
A settled exact source can enter the existing encrypted archive store.
An accepted committed failed source can use the existing checkpoint
import. Busy, changed, unowned or foreign sources remain blocked.

## What Changed

- Add a source owner bound to the selected task session, run,
coordinator generation, admitted input and file digests.
- Check the task, physical finalizer lock, released coordinator,
canonical resume source and active related turns before upload and
before publication.
- Preserve failed sources through the existing encrypted archive format.
Do not treat archived bytes as execution authority or old-writer stop
proof.
- Allow the existing accepted committed checkpoint import for a finished
failed run without changing its status.
- Validate admitted input bindings before looking up local controller
files.
- Document the online preservation path and the final static writer
fence.

## Verification

- Real PostgreSQL: 125 cases passed across migration, controller
recovery and durable backup storage. One added assertion inspected an
unadmitted queued fixture; it was corrected while retaining the
queued-turn preservation and stale-publication assertions. The final
migration rerun passes 51/51; the other three affected suites pass
75/75.
- Genuine prepatch RED: online failed-source preservation and accepted
committed failed-source import both fail on the previous producer and
recovery owners.
- New cases cover independent restore after deleting the original
source, an expired but non-null coordinator owner, source mutation after
upload, a new related queued turn during upload, foreign input binding
and an accepted committed failed result.
- The full rebased server source and test-tree typecheck passes after
restoring its missing ignored workspace SDK link and building that
existing dependency.
- Module boundaries and whitespace checks pass.
- Rebased onto current master; both provider-artifact imports and the
new archive owner are preserved. Rebased type and module-boundary checks
pass. All six archive cases pass on the exact rebased head (39.68
seconds). All CI gates pass on exact head
81fc974cd9. Fresh Greptile review is 5/5
with no unresolved comments. No serving migration, deletion or
deployment is performed by this PR.

- Review memory fix: 64 KiB streamed hashes avoid retaining another
controller string at each publication fence. A 256 MiB source is hashed
three times while the original string remains live under a 512 MiB heap.
The old full-string comparison reproduces an OOM; the fixed two-case
suite passes. Full source/test-tree typecheck and module boundaries pass
on the new code. All six real-PostgreSQL archive cases pass again with
streaming enabled (17.31 seconds); ownership, queued-turn and
post-upload mutation guards remain covered.

## Risks

- This is a copy-only preservation operation. It does not prove the
original process has stopped. Final enrollment must arm static ephemeral
mode on the original volume, observe the old deployment stopped and
repeat data eligibility.
- A source change during upload leaves an unpublished pending object.
The normal retention owner handles obsolete attempts; the source remains
required until a verified current archive exists.
- An archive is forensic evidence. It does not make an unaccepted failed
provider result resumable.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning and code execution. The host
does not expose the exact serving model ID or context-window size.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 8ed712f00a test(server): split workspace-recovery tests into seven feature files (#19664)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Contributors wait for PR CI before merge, so CI wall-clock time sets
the pace of work
> - PR CI runs the general server tests in 12 shards, and each shard
runs files in parallel on 4 workers
> - `server/src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts` takes about 699
seconds in CI by itself. A file runs whole on one worker, so shard 2/12
takes 11.5 minutes (median) when the other shards take about 7 minutes
> - A different shard count cannot fix this, because the time of one
file sets the minimum time of its shard
> - This pull request splits the file into seven feature files with a
shared fixture
> - The benefit is that the shards can balance again. This removes about
2 minutes from the median PR CI time and about 5 minutes from the p90

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The time of the general server test shards in PR CI.

**Subsystem affected**

Server tests: workspace recovery
(`server/src/services/workspace-recovery*.test.ts`) and the
general-server shard weights.

**Current behavior**

One file holds 460 tests and takes about 699 seconds in CI. Its shard is
the slowest in most PR runs.

**Proposed behavior**

Seven files of about 60 to 140 seconds each. The shard partitioner
places them on different shards.

**Reason and benefit**

The general server shards finish close together. The PR CI critical path
becomes shorter.

**Breaking changes**

None. No product code changes.

## What Changed

- Split `server/src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts` into seven
files by feature area:
  - `retry-copyback` (76 tests);
  - `preparation` (80);
  - `preparation-proof` (53);
  - `preparation-dispatch` (25);
  - `preparation-gates` (43);
  - `warm-handoff` (36);
  - `admission` (147).
- Add `server/src/services/workspace-recovery.test-fixture.ts` with the
shared hooks, `seed`, helpers and an embedded Postgres per file.
  - Test bodies, hooks and helpers are moved without change.
- Four lines that assigned the shared `db`, `root` or `connectionString`
now call `replaceFixtureState(...)`.
- `scripts/general-server-shard-durations.json`: replace the old key
with the seven new files. The weights divide the current CI cost of the
old file (636 seconds, master runs 42296943853 and 42294279748) in
proportion to measured local time. A `splitEstimates` entry records the
method, as for earlier splits.
- Update the file references in `doc/task-recovery.md` and
`maps/feature-map/recovery.md`.

## Verification

- `vitest list`, before and after: 136 declarations each, with identical
sorted names. At run time, 460 tests before and after.
- Each new file passes when run alone: 76, 80, 53, 25, 43, 36 and 147
tests.
- All seven files run together with `--maxWorkers=1`: 460/460 pass.
- A timing check of the original file:
- `afterEach` took 4.7 seconds in total and `beforeAll` 4.1 seconds, out
of about 1,000 seconds, so the teardown is not the cost;
  - most of the time is in three `it.each` blocks.
- Focused `tsc --noEmit` on the eight new files: clean.
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/run-vitest-stable-shard.test.mjs`:
39/39 pass.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`: aligned.
- With the new weights, the 12-shard partition puts the seven files on
seven different shards.

## Risks

- The CI time of each new file is an estimate from local runs. If
`workspace-recovery-preparation.test.ts` takes more than about 150
seconds in CI, the next split point is the "keeps ancestor Retry held"
block.
- Each file starts its own embedded Postgres, which adds a few seconds
of setup per file.
- The optional external-database environment variables keep their old
behavior but were not tested. CI does not set them.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool use and
code execution. A Claude sub-agent made the split, and the parent
session reviewed it and corrected the shard weights.

DottaandPaperclip a3eecf1fc9 Preserve admitted runtime skill bundles during server replacement (#19675)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs keep the exact skill files admitted for execution and
recovery.
> - Older inputs can name immutable local bundles without a skill
version ID.
> - Installed skill heads alone do not preserve those admitted bundles.
> - Server replacement needs a durable source for each retained bundle.
> - This pull request copies authenticated bundles through the existing
package owner and restores their exact projections.
> - The benefit is preservation during online migration without stopping
active work or settling recovery warnings.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19656. Related: #19660.

**What happened?**

Older native execution inputs can contain skill bundles with a null
version ID. Recovery skips those bundles. Startup installation checks
can pass even when those retained inputs still require the old
filesystem.

**Expected behavior**

Preserve each retained admitted bundle in object storage. Restore its
original bytes, modes and digests on an empty replacement host. Keep its
null pin and all run, controller and recovery state. Block startup and
enrollment while a concrete local asset obligation remains.

**Steps to reproduce**

Retain a native run with an admitted local skill bundle and a null
version ID. Convert its installed skill head to durable storage. Replace
the server home and attempt recovery. The old bundle path remains in the
recovered context.

## What Changed

- Add a bounded `runtime-assets` phase to the existing skill package
maintenance CLI. It copies exact admitted files under the runtime asset
publication lock, verifies the durable package, and appends a run-bound
receipt after source revalidation.
- Keep original files, null pins, task intent, warnings and controller
leases. Support an active run through copy-only preservation. Do not
start a turn or claim provider ownership.
- Verify and reuse a healthy canonical local bundle before storage
reads. Restore missing or damaged bundles through the existing package
and native asset materializers. Use the authenticated original manifest
to preserve exact read and execute modes. Accept a later contract
revision only when the run binding and exact skill selection remain
unchanged.
- Check retained recovery obligations and current task sessions during
both startup and migration eligibility. Ignore ordinary admission that
has no completed execution input.
- Protect receipt-backed packages from orphan collection. Serialize
receipt publication and deletion on the package row, then check
references in a fresh statement after the lock.
- Add real PostgreSQL and filesystem regressions. Replace a
delete-method proxy with an actual upload-renewal row-lock race. Publish
mutation activity only after commit.

## Verification

- Baseline production startup gate failed the new concrete-asset
regression as expected. The fixed gate passed. The actual before-fix
preservation owner also failed recovery from a healthy local bundle
during a simulated storage outage. A verified local-first path fixes
that regression.
- Eight preservation tests passed with real PostgreSQL, streaming
storage, archive extraction and native materialization. They cover cold
recovery, exact modes and binary bytes, active ownership, changed
sources and bindings, contract revisions, missing or corrupt receipts,
and publication/collection races.
- Six affected package collection/deletion controls and three existing
startup controls passed. The existing versioned recovery consumer passed
a sequential retry.
- One fixture attempt failed on its cleanup foreign-key order; the
fixture was corrected. One existing suite hit its unchanged 30-second
database startup hook before test execution. The unchanged single
consumer passed on retry. These failures remain recorded.
- Source, changed-test and CLI TypeScript checks passed. Rebase
preserved both the local instruction-copy and runtime-asset guards.
Current-head changed-test checks passed. Final PostgreSQL rerun passed
all eleven preservation/startup cases. Current CLI check passed.
Required CI remains pending at the trusted-runner gate.
- Current canonical bundled creation uses package preparation plus
atomic content/head publication. Native preparation requests immutable
version snapshots before delivery. Converted installations and new
canonical bundled creation therefore do not recreate the historical
null-version asset dependency.
- Fresh Greptile review on exact head
`54c7dd048c9016c1af9fc68213d5ae053ac16499` passed at 5/5 with zero
unresolved threads.
- Module boundaries, whitespace, and credential/internal-reference scans
passed. No live source writes, provider actions or migration apply were
performed.

## Risks

Missing, changed or unsafe local files remain blockers. This command
does not repair a previously published package whose objects later
disappear or become corrupt. It also refuses malformed preservation
receipts. It retains the original local files and prior evidence and
keeps removal blocked. Automatic repair requires a separate canonical
package-owner recovery operation; direct database edits are not an
accepted recovery path. Failed publication keeps the original files and
any unreferenced package for normal collection. The readiness check is
explicit startup or enrollment work, not a background scan. Its cost
grows with retained admitted asset obligations. Older readers must be
upgraded before the old volume is removed. This change preserves asset
bytes; it does not settle business recovery or qualify unrelated volume
dependencies.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex). The runtime did not expose a more specific backend
model ID or context-window size. Used reasoning, code editing, and tool
execution.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 6d1ecfc420 fix(accounting): close a remote run's lost receipt once its sandboxes are terminated (#19606)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Budget admission waits while completed runs await accounting; #19497
made that a hold on new work, never a hard stop
> - #19497 also closes a lost usage receipt once a local provider is
verified stopped, so the hold ends
> - A remote (Daytona) run has no local stop event and keeps its
recorded remote process identity, so its lost receipt never closed. The
company then held all new work until a receipt that can no longer arrive
> - This pull request closes a remote run's lost receipt once every
sandbox it used carries a provider termination receipt
> - The benefit is that a restart that kills a Daytona turn no longer
stops a company's new work

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Follow-up to #19497. Refs #19544 (Daytona chaos harness).

**What happened?**
In a Daytona restart wave, run `a261c30b` failed after native recovery
was blocked. Its usage receipt stayed incomplete
(`accountingReceiptReady: false`). Both of its sandbox leases were
released with a `destroyed` termination receipt, but accounting stayed
pending. Admission then refused new company work with "New work must
wait while a native run recovers its unfinished accounting".

**What did you expect?**
Once every sandbox of the run is stopped or destroyed, no runner can
report usage for it. The known part of its usage should settle as an
unpriced charge, as it does for a verified local stop, and new work
should be admitted.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a native task on a Daytona environment with a hard-stop budget.
2. Kill the control plane during the provider turn so the turn's receipt
is lost and native recovery ends in terminal failure.
3. After the sandbox lease is released with a termination receipt,
observe that the run stays `cost_accounting_pending` and new work is
held.

## What Changed

- `run-cost-accounting.ts`: the closed-receipt predicate gains a remote
branch. A native run in terminal failure without a result (failed,
cancelled, timed out or interrupted) is closed when it has at least one
environment lease and every lease carries a
`paperclip.remote-termination.v1` receipt bound to that lease, run,
company, provider and provider lease ID, with state `stopped` or
`destroyed`, after a successful release. This mirrors
`hasRemoteTerminationReceipt`. One SQL predicate still serves the
reconciler scan and settlement.
- The local branch is unchanged: a failed run with a verified local stop
event and a cleared process identity.
- A sandbox that may still run (no receipt, lease still active), a
receipt bound to another sandbox, or a run with no lease keeps its debt
pending.
- `budget-enforcement-worker.ts`: the accounting worker also wakes when
environment-cleanup or retained-session-cleanup work commits. Those are
the signals the lease writers already send when they release or stop a
sandbox.
- `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`: documents the remote closure rule.

## Verification

- `closed-native-receipt-accounting.test.ts` (embedded Postgres):
- A failed and a cancelled remote run, with one destroyed and one
stopped sandbox, settle as one unpriced charge, settle the reservation,
and clear admission. These are red on master.
- Debt stays pending for an active sandbox with no receipt, for one of
two sandboxes without a receipt, for a receipt bound to another sandbox,
and for a run with no lease.
- `budget-enforcement-worker.test.ts`: the accounting worker wakes on
environment-cleanup and retained-session-cleanup commits, and stops
waking after `stop()`. These are red on master.
- Existing suites pass locally: native-stop-accounting,
budget-enforcement-scoping, heartbeat-cost-accounting,
run-cost-accounting, cost-data-quality, budgets-service. Server
typecheck passes.
- Live Daytona restart wave: results in the comments.

## Risks

- A cancelled remote run now closes once its sandboxes are terminated.
Stop recovery could otherwise reattach a recorder, but a stopped or
destroyed sandbox has no runner to reattach to. Local cancelled runs
keep their drain.
- Workspace export can restart a stopped sandbox and removes its
termination receipt first. A receipt that arrives after settlement still
posts through late-receipt reconciliation.
- Reusable-lease chains (`resolveRemoteTerminationLease`) and
recovered-cleanup stop receipts are not mirrored, so those runs stay
pending. That is the conservative side.
- Low query cost: the predicate runs only for pending terminal runs.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file editing, embedded Postgres tests, live
restart-chaos harness).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 6c7cc2c5d6 fix(native): do not spend a recovery attempt resuming a cleanly drained run (#19625)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs have an execution recovery budget of three provider
attempts, so a run that keeps failing stops retrying
> - A graceful shutdown (deploy or SIGTERM) drains native runs: it
suspends them for reattachment by the next server
> - When the runner did not survive, the next boot resumed the turn and
charged one attempt
> - Restarts that the run did not cause used up its budget, so recovery
stopped and the task needed a manual Retry
> - This pull request does not charge an attempt for resuming a run that
a graceful drain suspended
> - The benefit is that deploys and graceful restarts no longer exhaust
a healthy run's recovery budget

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
In restart-chaos testing, native runs reached
`execution_recovery_budget_exhausted` (3/3) only because of server
restarts. In one wave, two restarts crossed each of two runs. In a
second schedule (K1, then K2 when ready, then K2 again), each drain
correctly suspended the local ACPX Claude run, yet the fourth boot
blocked it with `native_restart_recovery_blocked`. Every resume after a
drain was classified `resume_dead_runner` and charged an attempt
(`nextNativeProviderAttempt` in `native-restart-recovery.ts`, applied by
the executor's execution claim).

**Expected behavior**
A restart that the run did not cause should not consume its recovery
budget. A graceful drain records `restart_suspended` and
`awaiting_runner_reattach`. The resume that follows should keep the
attempt count.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `4ef3fa4271`.

**Steps to reproduce**
Start a native local run. Send the server SIGTERM three times while the
run is active, with a full restart each time. The third resume is
blocked with `execution_recovery_budget_exhausted`.

## What Changed

- `suspendedByCleanDrain()` in `native-restart-recovery.ts` recognizes a
run whose most recent recovery claim is older than the drain's
`restart_suspended` entry. Ownership waits and deferred blocks between
the drain and the next claim do not erase it. The next claim consumes
it.
- A scan that waits for the old controller to exit (`awaiting_evidence`)
records one history entry per reason, so repeated scans cannot push the
drain record out of the bounded history.
- Restart claims carry `chargesProviderAttempt`. It is `false` for a
claim that follows a clean drain.
- `nextNativeProviderAttempt()` takes that flag. The executor passes it
when it takes the execution lease, so a drained resume keeps the current
attempt.
- The first execution is always counted: a run drained at attempt 0 (no
execution claimed it yet) still charges its first provider start.
- A run drained during its third attempt may continue that attempt. The
local resume and remote bootstrap gates skip the `>= 3` exhausted check
only for a non-charging resume, and the executor still refuses a fourth
attempt.
- A crash restart (no drain record) still charges one attempt.
Reattachment to a live runner still charges none.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` states the rule next to the three-attempt
budget.

## Verification

- New test in
`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts`
(embedded Postgres, real heartbeat drain and restart recovery):
- Red before the fix: the claim after the drain had no
`chargesProviderAttempt: false`.
- Green after the fix, for drained attempts 0, 1 and 3: the crash claim
charges (`true`). After the drain, a controlled backend lets the
executor take its execution lease and records the saved
`native_run_finalizations.attempt` at provider dispatch: 1, 1 and 3.
Attempt 3 is claimed instead of blocked.
- Red at the executor: when the executor ignores the flag, the drained
attempt-1 resume saves 2.
- Ownership-wait case: the drained controller (the test process) is
still alive, so two scans wait. The history keeps `restart_suspended`
followed by one `awaiting_evidence` entry. After the controller is gone,
the claim does not charge, and attempt 3 continues.
- Classifier cases (local resume and remote bootstrap): attempt 3 after
a crash is still `execution_recovery_budget_exhausted`. Both new cases
were red on the previous revision.
- `heartbeat-native-restart-suspension.test.ts` 12/12,
`native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts` and
`native-runner-ownership.test.ts` 94 passed.
- `tsc --noEmit` for `server` passes.

## Risks

- A run that itself makes the server shut down gracefully, again and
again, would no longer be stopped by this budget. Graceful shutdowns are
operator or deploy actions, so this is unlikely. A crash loop (SIGKILL,
OOM) still charges an attempt on every restart, and a resumed turn that
fails still goes through the existing failure and replacement budget.
- This changes only the attempt count. Ownership checks, checkpoint
verification and the exhausted gate are unchanged.

DottaandPaperclip 56c2b28c04 Settle saved monitor results after a newer user request (#19644)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native results must finish their durable finalization before later
work can reuse a saved workspace.
> - An accepted result can wait on a monitor while its workspace files
are recovered.
> - A newer user request can replace that old wait before finalization
resumes.
> - The old finalizer then reports lost monitor authority and blocks the
saved-workspace lineage.
> - This pull request proves the newer user request and settles only the
old result bookkeeping.
> - The benefit is released recovery work without replaying an old turn
or changing the current request.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17641 and #16975.

**What happened?**

An older successful native result has saved files and a server-issued
monitor receipt. Its task is now blocked after a newer user-comment
continuation failed during preparation. The old coordinator stays in
retryable_failure with monitor_wait_authority_lost. The retained
allocation ownership check correctly refuses the unresolved predecessor,
so later file recovery also stays held.

**Expected behavior**

The normal finalizer can settle the old accepted result when exact newer
user-request evidence proves the old wait is superseded. It must
preserve the current task, user input, ownership, schedule, accepted
result, and attempt history. It must not start provider work or publish
the old wait summary.

**Steps to reproduce**

Create an accepted successful monitor result and mark workspace
finalization successful. Leave the task blocked. Record a newer
canonical user comment and its ordinary user wake, either queued or
consumed by a same-task continuation that retains the exact comment
revision and source-run lineage. Call the real native finalizer. Before
the repair, both cases remain retryable_failure instead of settling.

**Paperclip version or commit**

e482f0f632, before this repair.

## What Changed

- Add a company-scoped passive supersession proof in the native monitor
owner. It applies only when the old wait is not currently eligible. The
proof binds the old accepted result and monitor receipt to a newer
canonical unedited user comment and matching user wake. Admitted
successors must retain the exact task, comment revision, and source
lineage.
- Recheck the proof under the existing task transaction, with
nonblocking shared locks on the comment and wake; contention uses the
existing status-race retry path. Commit a preserve decision with no
effects. Keep normal monitor authority, Stop, workspace finalization,
and retained-allocation guards unchanged.
- Add real PostgreSQL coverage for queued and consumed input, current
successor ownership, newer schedules, immutable accepted results,
attempt history, foreign/missing/cancelled evidence, and changes before
commit. Real scheduler ticks create no old monitor wake.
- Include the present superseding proof in the existing assessment
identity. The old failed assessment and decision stay immutable, while
the new decision gets its own assessment. Absent proof keeps the
existing fingerprint unchanged.
- Document passive finalization after a newer user request.

## Verification

- Behavioral RED before production edits: two real PostgreSQL finalizer
cases returned monitor_wait_authority_lost/retryable_failure instead of
settling after a newer queued or consumed user request. Initial
interrupted imports and rejected database setup were not counted as
behavioral failures.
- Additional real-boundary RED: the normal finalization reconciler
reconstructed both persisted errors but failed on
status_decisions_company_assessment_uq because the changed proof reused
an older assessment identity. The owned PostgreSQL log confirmed the
constraint. Including only the present proof in the existing fingerprint
makes both reconciler cases pass while old assessments and decisions
remain immutable.
- Review RED: real comment-row and wake-row contention produced
side_effect_planning_failed. A test-local 100ms lock timeout bounds this
diagnostic. Nonblocking proof locks and `55P03`→NativeStatusRaceError
safely defer both cases, preserve current state, and commit after the
original lock owner releases. Both regressions pass without weakening
the production lock or authority checks.
- Final local GREEN at `0c40331d8d7f587c9a532fbc51d358bfacd1bd46`: five
files, 111 passing tests (126.17s), including all 54 saved-monitor
cases, actual persisted-error reconciliation with an absent retry
deadline and older boot identity, the status
arbiter/task-monitor/terminal-status suites, and six model fixtures.
Current requests, schedules, holds, accepted results and prior
assessments/decisions remain unchanged; normal attempt increments and
idempotent repeat are asserted. Real scheduler ticks create no old
monitor wake.
- All seven server typecheck layers, module-boundary and whitespace
checks pass at the final inputs. Required preflight passes in 15.348s.
No new code comments were added. Local environment: macOS arm64, Node
26.4.0, pinned pnpm 9.15.4, Vitest 5.0.3, owned disposable PostgreSQL 18
with bounded 1GiB tmpfs; no shared Docker data was pruned.
- [Final-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42311889918):
59 successful checks,three intentional skips,one neutral optional
review,zero failed or pending checks. Required E2E and verify aggregates
pass. Greptile reviewed this exact head at 5/5 with no unresolved
findings.
- The [original support
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42311889918/job/128217026059)
passed 6849 assertions and hit one 30000ms timeout in an unchanged
private-evidence fixture. The exact case passed locally; all 41 cases
passed together (42.79s). The [identical-input sibling CI
control](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42311878548/job/128216598362)
passed all 6850 assertions and the 41-case file in 5.417s. Exactly one
targeted replay was authorized and dispatched after workflow completion
and ordinary quota reset, preserving the other 57 passing checks.
[Replay
job128227417618](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42311889918/job/128227417618)
passed 323 files/6850 assertions with four existing skips; the 41-case
file passed in 5.665s. No fixture, source, assertion, timeout,
credentials or full workflow was changed/replayed. The original timeout
remains recorded; its precise host-level cause was not determined.
- Inherited baseline failures were handled through normal integration of
existing #19610 (model expectations), #19627 (deterministic Slack
deadline fixture), and #19646 (current trusted Runner lane flags). All
four exact lane-command dry runs and the lane-inventory regression pass.
No force push or new production patch was used for those failures.
- Hosted recovery remains pending deployment and acceptance through the
normal pipeline; these checks do not claim the live task has already
recovered.

## Risks

- The new proof must remain passive. It cannot grant execution or
restore an obsolete task state. Missing or changing proof leaves the old
result held.
- The query reads only the same company's task and agent, with requests
newer than the old completion time and one selected result. It runs
during active finalization and adds no timer or idle polling.
- Edited comments, cancelled wakes, foreign lineage, source Stop, and
workspace failure are refused. Existing workspace snapshot, stop, and
handoff checks still own physical file recovery.
- Hosted acceptance remains pending deployment through the normal
pipeline.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex (GPT-6 family), with code execution and repository tools.
The runtime does not expose the exact serving model identifier or
context window size.

DottaandPaperclip 752cb8d3da fix(ui): contain patch previews and highlight diff source (#19478)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Tasks show documents and file attachments in cards and file views.
> - Patch source needs clear added and removed lines in each view.
> - Long patch lines can exceed the width of an inline preview.
> - This pull request keeps the preview inside the card and adds patch
colors.
> - Users can read a compact patch preview and open the full source.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Patch text can exceed the inline document box. Patch files and patch
code blocks show plain text in the document view.

**Expected behavior**
Keep source inside its preview. Show added lines in green and removed
lines in red. Keep headers, source markers, copy controls, line numbers,
and downloads.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open a document card with a diff code block that has long unbroken
lines.
2. Open a `.patch` or `.diff` attachment in a task tab.
3. Open the same patch in the workspace file view.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Source checkout based on `e82210386f1e`.

**Deployment mode**
Built from source. The browser checks use Storybook fixtures.

Related work: #19269 adds inline diffs for file edits. This change uses
its line classifier for document and file source views.

## What Changed

- Share the unified diff line classifier with file and document views.
Track hunk lengths so later file headers keep their metadata style.
- Add safe patch source rendering for patch files and `diff` or `patch`
code blocks.
- Clip long lines with an ellipsis in compact cards. Wrap the full
source in file views.
- Add a Preview patch action for small `.patch` and `.diff` attachments,
including generic binary MIME types. Opening a large artifact list does
not fetch patch source. Bound the actual response bytes. Reject remote
preview URLs and redirects. Keep download and retry fallbacks.
- Add patch text colors with sufficient contrast in both themes. Keep
source-line selection visible over patch row colors. Copy the original
patch text without layout line breaks.
- Add five production component stories and browser checks at two widths
in both themes.
- Document the focused Storybook browser command.

## Verification

- Final base qualification at
`a120e0ada3f1eee9746f47a10384b5aa95f79824`: normally integrated the
already-merged #19610 model-fixture repair
(`8621bcf53ee2e4bbefb7d193add42dd544ca06e8`), preserving the reviewed
patch preview changes. Official preflight passes (1.8s); all 129 focused
tests pass again (23.67s), with UI typecheck and token gates passing.
Current revision CI and reviews are pending; prior-head review receipts
below are not current-head approval.

- Conflict qualification at `befc954a6116f7292506200b96623b673f9385b5`:
normally merged current master
`c66b4a55efdc5675b5a5146197078b94de6407da`, resolving the append-only
`ui/src/index.css` conflict by retaining both the patch rules and all
current agent identity rules. No feature behavior was changed during
resolution. Official isolated preflight passes. The seven focused
component/parser suites pass 129 tests; UI typecheck and token gates
pass. Fresh head CI and reviews are pending.
- Qualification setup limits: the first focused command used the
repository root instead of the UI working directory, so setup failed
before any test ran. It was corrected to the UI directory and actual
attachment-test path. The first UI typecheck found the unbuilt local
plugin SDK; building that checkout’s SDK and repeating typecheck passes.
These setup attempts are not test/typecheck passes.

- Focused Vitest run: 139 tests passed in eight files. This includes
source preservation, HTML escaping, large patches, tabs, Markdown
wrapping, line numbers, and transcript diff parsing. A 200-card check
confirms no patch fetch occurs before a preview request. CRLF
regressions cover no-newline markers and added lines that start with
`+++`.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`: passed after the plugin SDK
build prerequisite.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed.
- Storybook catalog check and 30 map/catalog tests: passed.
- `STORYBOOK_TEST_BASE_URL=http://localhost:6006 pnpm exec playwright
test patch-preview.spec.ts
--config=tests/storybook-visual/playwright.config.ts --project=stories
--workers=2 --retries=0`: 20 passed on Linux Chromium. The checks
include accessibility, theme colors, overflow, opening a document,
wrapping source, exact clipboard contents, and the selected source line.
Screenshots were inspected and saved to the task.
- The first browser runs found contrast failures in diff text and source
gutters. Patch text tokens and patch gutter opacity now fix those
failures. The final run passes without retries.
- `pnpm verify`: exit 2. The new browser spec is a global CI input.
Required CI must supply broad coverage.
- The local full Storybook build was killed with exit 137. This is not a
build pass. External screenshot baselines are not published, so no
baseline comparison was run.
- Reviews found selected-row background precedence, file headers in
unified patches without git separators, eager patch loading across a
collection, and CRLF no-newline markers. Each finding has a focused fix
and regression checks. The Storybook hunk count now matches its source
lines.
- Prior feature commit `b3cb9d6d3c0423315540514b1ad68325a64c1cc2`: [CI
typecheck, build, tests, runner checks, and E2E
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42247974154).
[Security scan
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/runs/127995160859).
[Greptile is
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19478#issuecomment-6688482753),
and [Paperclip Review is
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/runs/127998788846). All
six inline review threads are resolved.

## Risks

- Compact previews omit the end of long lines. The full document and
downloads keep the source.
- Patch colors apply to unified diff syntax. Other patch formats keep
literal text and do not have full format parsing.
- The shared classifier keeps the existing task chat behavior.
Regression tests cover that consumer.
- No database, API, or access rules change.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 f4b19e4231 fix(runner): finalize a durable proposed result when restore loses its Codex turn (#19658)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native Codex runs survive control-plane restarts: runnerd restores
the provider conversation, and the control plane continues the task from
its checkpoint
> - A hard kill can land after the agent proposed its result
(`run.result.proposed`) but before the provider turn ended
> - The restored runner then proves that the turn ended with the
accepted result. It records `session.reconciled` and `run.terminal`, but
no provider turn terminal
> - The Codex recovery read did not see that turn as ended, so recovery
failed with "persisted active turn … is missing from thread/read".
Retries ran out, and the Retry re-ran finished work
> - This pull request lets recovery settle that turn with its durable
result
> - The benefit is that a task that already finished its work continues
to finalization after a restart, instead of failing and redoing the work

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19525, #19591, #19539, #19501

**What happened?**
In a restart storm, a native Codex task (B1) proposed a complete
`paperclip.run_result.v1` with passing tests. The control plane accepted
the completion tool call. About 9 s later, a K1 (SIGKILL and restart of
the control plane) killed the controller, runnerd, and the Codex
app-server. After startup, `resume_dead_runner` resumed the same run two
times. Each resume spent about 25 s in `runner.session.startup` and
failed with `native_session_recovery_failed: HarnessReconciliationError:
persisted active turn <id> is missing from thread/read`. Then
`native_session_retry_exhausted`, replay was blocked
(`preserve_without_replay_v1`), and the run ended
`native_session_interrupted`. The task needed a Retry, which re-ran the
finished work.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native Codex task through runnerd.
2. Let the agent call `paperclip_finish`, and let Paperclip accept the
result.
3. Kill the controller, runnerd, and Codex before the provider turn
ends.
4. Let restart recovery resume the run.

Durable evidence from the kept instance:
- The run events have `run.result.proposed` for the turn, then a
`completion.tool_accepted` span, then the kill.
- The saved checkpoint has `activeTurnId` set to that turn and
`semanticResult: null`.
- The Codex rollout on disk does contain the turn. The provider did
persist it.
- The runnerd journal for the first resume has `session.reconciled
{previousProviderTurnId: <turn>, activeProviderTurnId: null}` and then
`run.terminal {turnTerminalState: completed, runTerminalState:
succeeded, reportedWorkDisposition: done}`. It has no `turn.*` event for
that turn. The runnerd Codex provider state shows
`completedTurnAuthoritative: true` and `completedProviderTurnId:
<turn>`.

**Expected behavior**
Recovery finalizes the accepted result. It does not re-run the task.

**Actual behavior**
The runnerd Codex transport builds the recovery `thread/read` reply from
runnerd's journal. It looked only for
`turn.completed|failed|interrupted|cancelled` events that name the turn.
Runnerd's "turn ended with an accepted result" branch
(`provider_backend.rs`, `recovered_turn_ended_with_result`) emits only
the reconciliation and the run terminal. So the reply omitted the turn,
and `CodexHarnessSession.reconcile()` threw at
`codex-harness-session.ts:796`. The second resume read the same journal
and failed the same way.

## What Changed

- `runnerd-codex-transport.ts`: a new `runnerdRecoveredTurnTerminal`
helper selects the terminal for a restored turn. A provider `turn.*`
terminal that names the turn wins, as before, with its cause. A
`run.terminal` that follows a `session.reconciled` that names the turn
as the ended previous turn (no active turn, no later `turn.started`) now
also settles that turn, with the run terminal's `turnTerminalState`. The
`thread/read` wait loop uses this helper.
- `codex-harness-session.ts`: `reconcile()` now settles a checkpointed
active turn that provider history no longer contains when the session
holds the semantic result that this exact turn proposed (`resultTurnId`
equals the turn). Recovery restores that result from the durable
`run.result.proposed` event. Without such a result, a missing turn still
fails closed.
- `codex-harness-session.ts`: the same rule applies when the restored
runner reports that turn `failed` with `provider_turn_lost_on_restore`.
This happens when the runner cannot prove the accepted result itself.
Later recoveries keep the settled outcome. Without a held result, a
restore-lost turn keeps its existing failure and same-conversation
continuation.
- `fake-codex-app-server`: a test-only `--hold-after-terminal-result`
flag keeps the turn open after an accepted completion report.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: one additive paragraph on this recovery
rule.

## Verification

- Red before the fix, real `paperclip-runnerd` and fake Codex: `pnpm
--filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/live/runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts -t "durable proposed
result"` failed with `native_session_recovery_failed:
HarnessReconciliationError: persisted active turn provider-turn-1 is
missing from thread/read` at `native-session-runtime.ts:2267`. This is
the same stack as the incident.
- Green after the fix: the run finalizes on `provider-turn-1` with the
proposed result and `runTerminalState: succeeded`. It has no
`session.failed` or `turn.failed`, and Codex received only one
`turn/start` (no re-run). With the transport fix alone, the test passes
in about 5 s. With only the session fix, it also passes (about 30 s,
through the 5 s read wait).
- Driver red/green:
`src/drivers/codex/codex-app-server-driver.recovery.test.ts -t "missing
persisted turn"`. The settle case failed before the fix (`recovered:
false`) and passes after it. The guard case (the held result belongs to
another turn) still fails closed. The existing "fails recovery
explicitly when the persisted active turn is missing or replaced" test
still passes.
- Driver red/green for the restore-lost case: `-t "restore-lost turn"`.
The held=true case failed before the fix and passes after it. The
held=false case still maps `turn.failed` with the lost cause.
- Transport unit test: `runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts -t "reconciled
result terminal"` covers the run-terminal rule and its negative cases.
- Suites: `src/drivers/codex/`, `src/native-session-runtime.test.ts`,
`src/backends/`, `src/live/runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts`, and
`src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts` pass. Some load-sensitive
tests time out at host load 25–30 and pass when rerun alone. The two
`proves local suspension after an event backlog … (1024 suffix deltas)`
cases also time out on unmodified master.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck:typescript`
passes.
- Live chaos replay with real Codex: K1 0–3 s after
`run.result.proposed`, 3/3 PASS (R1). Each case resumed the same run,
which ended `succeeded`. No Retry was needed and no work was re-run.
Details are in the comment below.

## Risks

- The transport rule accepts a run terminal only directly after
runnerd's own reconciliation that names the ended turn with no active
turn. Runnerd emits that pair only after it restored the conversation
and proved the turn ended. A provider turn terminal still wins. Other
run terminals do not settle a turn.
- The session rules use only a result that Paperclip already holds for
the exact turn. The control plane accepted that result before the kill.
A later provider terminal for that turn cannot change the outcome. The
finalizer can already interrupt a provider after an accepted result.
- A missing turn without a durable result still fails closed. Its
outcome is unknown, and the existing Retry stays available.
- No profile, schema, pack contract, or database changes. The Rust
change touches only the fake Codex test binary.

DottaandPaperclip 6be71028ad Prepare online ephemeral enrollment through signed Cloud control (#19660)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work through a control-plane web server.
> - A replacement web server needs shared durable data and the original
signing identity.
> - Existing enrollment exports that identity only after a global drain
and offline migration.
> - Online enrollment needs a separate preparation operation while agent
work continues.
> - This change adds a purpose-bound Cloud control operation with
existing data and key owners.
> - The result is an audited preparation receipt, with no permission to
stop agents or detach storage.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19038. Refs #19024.

**What are you trying to improve?**
Allow Cloud to prepare an already migrated tenant for volume removal
without the offline migrator or a global-idle gate.

**What problem does this solve?**
Cloud must preserve the original decision key before starting a
replacement with static ephemeral mode. A tenant session must never gain
key-export authority.

**What would the improvement look like?**
A fresh exact-action Cloud assertion obtains a private, deployment-bound
preparation receipt. Unfinished durable-data migration and invalid
replacement configuration block export.

## What Changed

- Add the signed `ephemeral-enrollment:prepare` control action and a
strict UUID-only POST route.
- Check existing durable-data eligibility and ephemeral configuration
before reading the original key. Never create a missing key.
- Audit only public preparation metadata. Keep HTTP diagnostics
secret-sensitive and the response non-cacheable.
- Bind the receipt to the attempt, stack, build commit, Railway
deployment, time, static mode and key digest.
- Always return `enrollmentReady: false`. Cloud still needs to arm a
replacement, verify old writers have stopped, repeat eligibility and
qualify native handoff before detaching the retained volume.

## Verification

- PASS: 80 focused tests across the preparation owner, signed route,
existing Cloud control, HTTP privacy and OpenAPI route coverage.
- PASS: 2 real PostgreSQL cases. Concurrent copies of one signed request
export once; the durable receipt still rejects reuse after clearing the
process fence. Normal run admission before skill pins is allowed;
missing durable skill installation remains blocked.
- Genuine prepatch RED: the same two PostgreSQL cases exported twice and
rejected ordinary admission. The fixed owner was restored automatically
after the comparison.
- PASS: server TypeScript check with workspace dependencies built.
- Fixed the first CI route-coverage failure by declaring this private
control endpoint in the existing explicit OpenAPI exclusion registry.
- Initial local HTTP execution lacked sandbox socket permission; the
reviewed run passed. Initial PostgreSQL fixtures enabled durable files
too late and reused an issue prefix; those fixture defects were
corrected before the red/green comparison.
- All required CI gates pass on
5346721847. Fresh Greptile review is 5/5
and all review threads are resolved. No deployment, volume detachment,
admission change or agent stop is performed by this PR.

## Risks

- The private response contains the original signing key. Only a fresh
stack-bound assertion for this exact action can obtain it. The Cloud
consumer must pass it directly to its existing vault owner and must not
expose it through admin responses or registry metadata.
- Eligibility is an observation. It cannot replace static writer
restrictions or qualified ownership handoff. This PR deliberately
supplies no detach or readiness authorization.
- Cloud transition integration is still required. This PR alone does not
enroll an instance.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, code execution and browser
tools. The host does not expose the exact serving model ID or
context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 9197abf673 fix(native): preserve controller state when remote archiving fails (#19663)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native continuity replacement must preserve the state needed to
recover saved work.
> - The current replacement moves local controller files before it knows
whether the remote archive succeeded.
> - A remote failure then leaves the local controller without its
recovery files.
> - This pull request confirms the remote archive before it moves those
files.
> - A user turn that never started can use the existing bounded Retry
path after verified preservation and cleanup.
> - The task retains its saved work and can continue once under current
user authority.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19638, #19547, #19399 and #19659.

The prerequisite #19638 merged as
`0819f4ea78dd37fba87341b314be9dac078c1410`. This PR now targets master.
A normal dependency integration at `febed950f4` keeps only the six-file
archive repair in the PR diff. Fresh master-based CI and review are
required before merge.

**What happened?**

A native continuity replacement moved its local controller journal and
provider checkpoint. The following remote archive failed. A later
recovery attempt could no longer read the local recovery files. The
first-attempt failure also had no normal Retry receipt for the saved
user turn.

**Expected behavior**

A failed or timed-out remote archive retains the local recovery files
and starts no replacement provider. A user turn that has not started can
request one normal Retry. The existing user, provider-turn, Stop,
preservation, cleanup, budget and approval gates remain in force.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Keep a local controller journal and provider checkpoint for a
retained remote conversation.
2. Request continuity replacement and fail or time out the remote
archive command.
3. Check the local controller files before any later recovery.
4. Settle the native failure under a current user wake and recover the
saved workspace.

## What Changed

- Confirm remote continuity archiving before moving the local controller
state.
- Add the exact remote archive failure to the shared bounded user Retry
admission from #19638.
- Verify failed, timed-out and successful archive ordering with real
local files.
- Verify ordinary failure settlement and saved-file recovery produce one
fresh successor. Keep Stop, system wake and unsettled-provider holds.
- Document the file preservation and Retry contract.

## Verification

- RED: failed and timed-out remote archives removed the local controller
files. Reading those files failed with ENOENT. The saved-user Retry
request returned false instead of true.
- Initial archive unit verification: eight cases passed, including the
three archive outcomes and five existing Cloud archive safety cases.
- Initial stacked revision: `9104ee399b`, based on #19638 at
`d22d8f9d5ee3dc36550a94d55c1d8376f3b9aab2`.
- Final master-based revision: `febed950f4`. All 13 affected cases
passed across three Vitest files after dependency integration. They
include the seven-mode real PostgreSQL completion case, saved-file
successor and negative-hold cases, and real-file archive outcomes. All
seven server typecheck layers passed again. Module boundary, whitespace
and added-code-comment checks passed. All required CI passed on this
exact head. The final snapshot has 59 successful checks, three intended
skips, one neutral result, and no pending or failed checks. Current-head
Greptile and the independent review are both 5/5, with no open findings.
- Final local revision: `9104ee399b`, macOS ARM64, Node 26.4.0, pnpm
9.15.4 and embedded PostgreSQL. The three real-file archive outcome
cases passed. The real PostgreSQL completion test passed all seven
internal scenarios, including archive failure, prior provider activity,
system wake, Stop before and after terminal settlement, and stale
runtime promotion. Own Runner/shared/SDK builds and all seven server
typecheck layers passed. Nine saved-work continuation and negative-hold
cases passed. They verify exported file contents, one user-attributed
fresh successor, idempotent hooks, no second automatic chain, and
first-use manual Retry for held cases.
- `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs`, whitespace checks and the
added-code-comment audit passed.
- Focused commands from `server/`: Vitest with `-t 'retains the local
controller checkpoint until remote continuity archiving succeeds'`; `-t
'replays saved user intent through normal Retry'`; and `-t 'continues a
user turn once|does not continue automatically'`. PostgreSQL cases used
a fresh local cluster and a 120-second setup hook budget. Application
timeouts were unchanged.
- The initial stacked head passed all test, build, typecheck and E2E
jobs. Greptile and the independent review both scored it 5/5 with no
findings. These results do not replace the fresh master-based
qualification now running.

## Risks

- A remote command can fail after it changed remote state. This change
retains local evidence in that case. It does not claim a distributed
atomic transaction.
- The exact archive error can request one normal Retry only under the
existing saved-user admission. The normal path must prove stop, saved
files and cleanup before a successor starts.
- The protected launch-argument rejection remains enforced. Its exact
hosted argument difference was not available through ordinary access.
#19659 separately addresses a saved-thread feature-policy argument
difference. This PR preserves local archive evidence and does not claim
direct hosted verification of that primary cause.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 family through Codex, with reasoning, tool use and code
execution. The model is inherited; no override was used. The exact
serving model ID and context-window size are not exposed by this
runtime.

DottaandPaperclip 0819f4ea78 fix(native): verify controller ownership before retrying saved turns (#19638)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native task turns can keep a provider conversation from an earlier
run.
> - A copied conversation checkpoint names the new run before its
controller has attached.
> - A failed attachment can make recovery treat that copied identity as
current execution authority.
> - The current run needs its own durable controller checkpoint, or a
valid staged attachment, before exact resume.
> - This pull request checks that ownership and uses the normal Retry
path to continue a saved user turn after verified cleanup.
> - The task can continue once with its saved work and history.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19399 and #18860.

**What happened?**

A new user comment resumed a completed native conversation. The retained
runner process was gone before the new controller attached. The new run
still had a copied provider session ID. Recovery selected exact resume
for that new run and then failed its unchanged owner and lease checks.
Ordinary first-attempt failure settlement also omitted the saved-user
Retry handoff that restart recovery already uses.

**Expected behavior**

Exact resume requires current controller evidence. A saved user turn can
request one normal Retry after this infrastructure failure. The normal
path must verify provider stop, saved files, current user authority and
all execution gates before it starts a fresh session.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Finish a native warm run and retain its provider checkpoint.
2. Admit a user comment as a new run and copy the provider checkpoint
through the real resume producer.
3. Stop the retained runner before attachment. The real remote process
check reports that the process is not running.
4. Observe that the copied provider ID selects exact current-run resume.
Observe that ordinary failure settlement saves no Retry request.

## What Changed

- Check a bounded encrypted controller header for fenced remote Runner
recovery. Keep local Runner recovery on its existing disk-backed path.
Match the run, conversation and runner identity. Preserve the existing
staged-attachment path.
- Share the existing saved-user Retry admission between restart recovery
and ordinary terminal native settlement. Keep its exact infrastructure
errors, user wake, comment, provider-turn and retry-chain checks.
- Add real PostgreSQL and stopped-process regressions. Verify malformed
and foreign checkpoint holds, current-owner resume, user authority and
Stop. Verify saved-file recovery creates one fresh-session successor.
- Document the ownership and Retry contract.

## Verification

- RED: the real checkpoint rebind producer and stopped-process check
selected exact current-run resume without a current controller
checkpoint.
- RED: ordinary settlement created zero Retry receipts for the real
native failure code; expected one.
- Review RED: a real current local controller file existed with no
database checkpoint rows. The initial gate returned ambiguous state. The
fix takes a required trusted execution-target kind and applies the
database requirement only to the remote persistence path.
- Initial local revision: `3662055880ccf8e09c3c50a340897e16c78627e7`,
macOS ARM64, Node 26.4.0, pnpm 9.15.4, embedded PostgreSQL.
- Initial server Vitest: 42 selected cases passed across controller
recovery integration, remote restart adoption, ordinary run completion
and retained workspace recovery. The cases cover the stopped-process
producer, current/foreign/malformed ownership, automatic user
continuation, Stop, unsettled turns, system wakes and a manual Retry on
first use.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`: passed with this
worktree's Runner, shared and SDK builds and all seven server layers.
- `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs`, whitespace checks and the
added-code-comment audit: passed.
- Review correction: `8c795e2e0e44b5209da3e228593c5cd35e948cae`. The
real local/remote controller case passed against a fresh PostgreSQL
cluster. It verifies local disk recovery without database rows, remote
current-owner resume, and remote missing/foreign/malformed holds. Fresh
`node scripts/typecheck-layers.mjs` passed all seven server layers. The
existing offline chat reader now requests metadata only and retains its
full independent native-state safety check.
- A broader local recheck hit PostgreSQL setup/cleanup hook timeouts.
These are retained as failed setup attempts; the fresh-cluster
regression above passed. Required CI supplies broad final-head coverage.
- Settlement-order correction:
`dafb721c3bbb7ae86fbc3c9c6c953ace29ca088b`. The real PostgreSQL
regression first proved both failures: Stop after an already-failed row
created one Retry instead of zero; a DB-native promotion with an old
legacy caller snapshot created zero instead of one. All six settlement
scenarios now pass. The hook requires the local failed outcome and the
canonical settled native row. Fresh seven-layer server typecheck passed
again.
- Required shared fixture base integrated at
`d22d8f9d5ee3dc36550a94d55c1d8376f3b9aab2`. The six runner-skills
fixture cases and all seven server typecheck layers passed. Required CI
passed for this head:
[workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42309419592),
including all server layers, tests, build, Runner verification and E2E.
The final snapshot has 57 successful checks, three intended skips and
one neutral result. Current-head Greptile is 5/5; both concrete review
threads are resolved. The independent re-review ended without a final
response; its prior Stop finding has a real RED/GREEN repair.

The focused command was run from `server/`:

```sh
../node_modules/.bin/vitest run --config vitest.config.ts src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-controller-recovery.integration.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts -t 'replays saved user intent|does not assign current-run resume authority|remote controller restart adoption|continues a user turn once|does not continue automatically'
```

## Risks

- A terminal failure of a fenced Runner adds one exact-run header read.
The read selects one encrypted header and limits inspection to 1 MiB.
Invalid or missing ownership evidence stays held.
- Saved user input can request one automatic Retry. It uses normal
preservation, current authorization, budget, approval, Stop and cleanup
gates. Unsettled provider turns and system wakes do not start an
automatic successor.
- This PR changes no provider process, credential, model or lease
authority checks.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 family through Codex, with reasoning, tool use and code
execution. The model is inherited; no override was used. The exact
serving model ID and context-window size are not exposed by this

DottaandPaperclip bb621880e6 fix(storage): preserve agent and skill files during online conversion (#19656)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent files and installed skills need durable storage before a
legacy volume can be removed.
> - Their maintenance commands currently require every writer to stop.
> - Normal file edits already use agent row locks and skill publication
locks.
> - Shared agent heads also remain durable while their agents run.
> - This pull request uses those owners to copy settled files online and
keeps unresolved recovery states intact.
> - The benefit is useful migration progress while unrelated work
continues.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #19642.

**What happened?**

Agent-file adoption and skill installation conversion reject apply
requests without a global stopped-writer acknowledgement. Agent-file
maintenance also reports an active agent as blocked when its shared head
is already durable. Live enrollment omits the existing
unresolved-local-instruction-copy guard.

**Expected behavior**

Copy settled agent files and skill installations under their existing
writer locks. Keep old skill directories, versions, and inline bytes.
Keep unresolved local copies and unknown historical pin obligations
visible to their owners.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run agent-file maintenance with `--apply` on the original host with
durable storage enabled. A managed agent without active execution is
rejected without `--writers-stopped`. The same gate rejects skill
installation conversion. An agent that already has a shared head is also
reported as blocked while it runs.

## What Changed

- Adopt settled agent files under the existing agent row lock. Recognize
an existing shared head before checking active execution, without
rewriting its projection.
- Reuse the local working-copy preservation predicate for first adoption
and live enrollment. Keep its original public export.
- Prepare skill uploads outside the shared run-pinning lock. Verify the
exact local tree and source identity under the cache, slug, and row
publication locks. Publish catalog origin history in that same
transaction.
- Retain old skill directories, versions, and inline bytes. Keep pin
retention and volume-removal guards unchanged.
- Add PostgreSQL and filesystem coverage for active durable heads,
unresolved copies, concurrent source edits, and linked files. Update the
maintenance docs.

## Verification

- Agent-file durability and live enrollment suites: 16 tests passed with
real PostgreSQL and filesystem fixtures.
- Managed skill suite: 22 tests passed. Seven final controls also
passed: upload-time file edits, source relocation, unknown historical
pins, hard-linked files, pinning during a blocked upload, and both
rejected/successful catalog-origin publication.
- Server source typecheck and focused changed-test typecheck passed.
- Module boundaries, diff whitespace, and added-line
credential/internal-reference scans passed.
- Baseline production rejected both online paths at their stopped-writer
guards. Review regressions also reproduced a busy pinning lock during
upload and extra catalog history after rejection; their fixes passed
real PostgreSQL controls. All expected red results are preserved.
- One final-control attempt failed the existing 30-second fixture
startup hook before executing tests. A sequential retry passed all four
controls without changing guards or timeouts; the failed attempt remains
recorded.
- Exact head `001a5beed9d0e55c7c178906fbad1f9a47f87788`: [required CI
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42309446426),
including typecheck, build, tests, Runner and end-to-end gates. Greptile
completed successfully at 5/5 with zero unresolved review threads;
GitHub reports mergeable/clean.

## Risks

Changed or unsafe sources remain blocked. Storage failures keep the
original files and recovery state. This conversion does not settle
retained provider copies or historical execution. Unknown pin
obligations still block retention and volume removal; this PR alone does
not qualify removal of the original volume.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex). The runtime did not expose a more specific backend
model ID or context-window size. Used reasoning, code editing, and tool
execution.
