Dotta a3e7e63330 Guard Native recovery with process-space proof and explicit containment (#19813)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their work.
> - Recovery must preserve execution ownership and accepted results.
> - A saved PID proves nothing outside its recorded process namespace.
> - Uncertain unfinished work must stay held until its original owners
stop.
> - Operators need a source-bound containment action and a separate
ordinary Retry.
> - Accepted results must use the existing finalizer without another
provider turn.
> - This PR keeps those paths safe, recoverable, and quiet between real
obligations.

Refs: #19591

Recovery could use a local PID to release or replace a controller from
another process namespace. Connected-chat Retry also rejected successful
containment on a task in `todo`. The new containment action used a
broader permission than the existing owner-stop action. A later review
found that result-less guards also rejected the existing accepted-result
confirmation action.

## What Changed

- Record and verify the controller's kernel/PID namespace. Keep unknown
and foreign unfinished ownership held. Preserve independent durable stop
evidence and the existing remote lease fences.
- Use the shared accepted-result ownership reconciler. Bind settlement
to the observed lease token, generation, boot, PID, namespace and
process birth. Retain finalizer, cleanup, current-controller, live-owner
and remote exclusions.
- Share the remote-owner reader across recovery consumers. Scope runner
leases to the same company, task and run. Do not make local PID probes
for remote accepted-result ownership.
- Gate original-host containment on `runtime:confirm_owner_stop`. Bind
it to the current task, source, assignee, original expiry, lease and
Stop state. Audit separate controller/provider containment and reviewed
action outcomes.
- Keep containment separate from ordinary Retry. Use one canonical
committed receipt and the normal admission, budget, workspace and
lineage checks. Preserve the recorded external-action outcomes.
- Keep the controller-only confirmation actionable for both result-less
work and accepted results. Result-less work gets its next source-bound
attention in the same transaction. Accepted results keep their original
result and use normal shared settlement/finalization.
- Keep identity inspection quiet. Preserve the original foreign-owner
expiry and use the existing scoped finalizer in accepted-result recovery
controls.
- Update the recovery card, validators, execution projection, docs and
access maps. Reuse existing canonical columns; add no migration or
ownership backfill.

## Verification

Current publication head: `71ea76b568de09d6313d8992e803131d9d5c54f3`.

**The current fix has a causal red/green check.** On the test-only
revision, both foreign-local stopped/fenced controller cases failed
because recovery probed saved runner, process-group and provider PIDs in
this host's namespace. This measured the wrong probes; it did not run
duplicate providers. After the fix, the same two cases passed every
no-probe, no-claim, no-controller-stamp, no-stop-receipt and
unchanged-authority assertion. Three existing remote preparation, grace
and fenced-controller progress cases also passed. Total: **5 passed, 0
failed;170 filtered rows excluded**. All three normal affected App
TypeScript programs passed on this head (660,681 and428 roots).

The fix separates a controller wait from execution stop proof.
Independent live/grace evidence still schedules recovery. A
stopped/fenced foreign controller can pass this namespace guard only for
remote execution, which keeps its later checkpoint and never-launched
checks. Foreign local execution stays held before runner or provider PID
inspection.

Earlier source-scoped results remain evidence, not fresh executions on
the current head:

- On `c86dd741`, the complete failed-owner file passed **25/25**, with
no skips or filters. Empty scans wrote no controller stamps. Foreign
ownership kept its original expiry. Normal returned-claim settlement and
attention at the exact deadline passed.
- On `c86dd741`, **15 selected accepted-result/restart controls
passed**. The81 filtered rows are excluded. Both completion cases used
the existing scoped finalizer and kept their accepted result without
another provider turn.
- Trusted CI at synthetic merge `50d072a5` (actual master `1b7fe334`
plus `c86dd741`) passed the complete **17-case maintenance-server
file**. This includes the original90-real-second quiet observation and
two qualified hourly windows. The quiet case took118,918ms. The four
jobs that failed on the earlier publication all passed on that synthetic
merge.
- On `6243b32c`, the complete ownership-report file passed **29/29**.
Native NULL namespace stayed unprovable and generic compatibility
remained. Three selected recovery controls passed;170 filtered rows are
excluded.
- On `f81f2c3c`,356 business cases passed: whole ownership-route221,
recoveryUI70, owner-proof38 and controller-confirmation8; selected
accepted-result authority18; and one real connected-chat containment,
separate authorized Retry, useful Native result and downstream reply
case. The2,024 filtered rows are excluded. A separate earlier
accepted-result causal case kept the original result and completed after
restart without replay.

Normal Shared exports, App programs, UI typecheck, token gates and map
checks passed on their recorded revisions. Unchanged DB, adapter, Eval
and Runner inputs/outputs have explicit carry proofs. The clean normal
merge with fetched master `8fe524f7` preserves all31 exclusive owned
paths and14,827 unrelated master entries. The nine overlapping paths
were reviewed, including the upstream unidentified-run stop action.
Fresh CI must validate that actual merge composition.

PG cases used existing external PG17, fresh owned databases, pools at
most4, one worker and no SQL observer during cases. Registered clients
and recorded process groups closed. Independent final SQL audits found
zero campaign sessions before normal database cleanup. Original failing
fixtures remain retained.

Original failures are preserved. One new test first failed compilation
due to a missing getter import; an import-only correction passed its
full owning programs before the causal red/green check. A local quiet
attempt stopped in the normal prerequisite hook before any business case
and its collector rejected two normal build markers. The later17-case CI
pass establishes quiet recovery; it does not turn that failed local
collector into a pass. An earlier useful case passed before its private
cleanup collector failed on an owned read-only directory; normal cleanup
completed after all owners closed. Earlier runner-shutdown cancellation
and a separate private whole-suite failure remain unexplained.

Current-head checks are complete:57 success,1 neutral and3 skipped,
including the successful aggregate CI gate. The legacy status passed.
Greptile is5/5 and Ponytail gives an explicit5/5 Ship verdict for this
head. All seven review threads are resolved. Full recursive typecheck,
the full test suite and release build were not repeated locally. No
result here proves deployed suspension, a live provider or termination
on another host.

## Risks

- Unknown physical ownership can require an owner/admin action. A false
containment statement can be unsafe.
- New work, reassignment, Stop, renewed authority, accepted results or
pending cleanup can invalidate an action. The operator must refresh.
- Controller confirmation does not prove provider/tool containment.
Completed external actions must not be replayed.
- Generic legacy and child-process compatibility remains separate from
the strict Native controller policy.
- Existing saved state and canonical schema are preserved. Permanent
safety refusals remain held with their normal named recovery path.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` agents implemented and tested the changes with
reasoning, repository tools and code execution. A GPT-6-based Codex
managing agent reviewed and integrated them. The host does not expose
the manager's exact build or the context-window sizes.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 8c578668b8 fix(heartbeat): start new queued runs promptly after restart and name the wait (#19431)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The heartbeat queue starts queued agent turns. Restarts and deploys
happen often.
> - After a restart, new queued turns waited minutes before they
started. The task showed only "Queued", with no reason.
> - The cause is startup order. The queued-run dispatch worker registers
only after many unrelated first passes finish one after another: tool
reviews, delivery workers, the terminal workspace sweep, native restart
recovery, and residual and issue recovery.
> - The server binds its listener before this recovery, and
`/api/health` answers during it. A deployment can route traffic to the
new server for minutes before queued work starts.
> - This pull request starts queued turns that never executed as soon as
plugin workers and adapters are loaded. It also names the wait while the
server starts, recovers, or shuts down.
> - The benefit is that tasks resume quickly after a restart and show a
visible reason while they wait.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
On a hosted instance, the server restarted twice for deploys. Both
times, queued runs on idle agents started about 3.5 to 4 minutes after
the restart. Before the restart, the runs also waited about 5 minutes
while the deploy drained the old server. During the wait after the
restart, the execution presentation showed `phase: queued`, `label:
"Queued"`, `cause: null`.

**Expected behavior**
Queued work resumes automatically and quickly after a restart. While it
waits, the task shows a reason.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a task drain (`POST /api/instance/task-drain`). Assign issues
to idle agents. The runs stay queued.
2. Stop the server (SIGTERM) and start it again.
3. Make any startup first pass slow (a large instance does this
naturally). Queued runs start only after every earlier startup pass
finishes.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at 7e3caa7bac.

**Deployment mode**
Hosted Railway deployment with fleet deploy drain. Reproduced locally
with embedded PostgreSQL and an injected 20-second startup step.

## What Changed

- `heartbeat/queue.ts`: add `resumeFreshQueuedRunsAtStartup`. It starts
queued runs on agents with no run left `running` and no queued retry or
continuation (`started_at`, `retry_of_run_id`,
`process_loss_retry_count`, `continuation_attempt`). Every run still
passes the ordinary per-agent claim and dispatch gates, and scheduling
suppression (including the task drain) still applies.
- `heartbeat.ts`: expose it. Count it as a pending wake, like
`resumeQueuedRunsAfterDrain`, so drain status and upgrade readiness see
it.
- `index.ts`: run that pass at startup after plugin workers and external
adapters load. It does not wait for the unrelated startup first passes.
It skips while a drain, warm standby, or shutdown is active. Log when it
completes and when the full queued-run pass completes, with process
uptime, so a hosted restart shows both timings.
- `execution-projection.ts`: while the server is `starting`,
`recovering`, or `draining` (shutdown), a queued run shows **Waiting for
server restart** (cause `server_restarting`) with a next action. A task
drain keeps its **Waiting for maintenance** reason.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describe the startup fast path and the
new presentation.
- The full queued-run pass, its position after native restart recovery,
and the drain behavior are unchanged.

## Verification

- Red, then green, local restart with a 20-second injected startup step
(embedded PostgreSQL, three process agents, runs queued under a task
drain, SIGTERM, restart):
- Before: the listener bound at 09:41:50.6. Runs started at 09:42:10.8,
20.2 s later, after the slow step ended.
- After: runs started 0.2 to 0.3 s after the listener bound, while the
slow step still ran. Each original run executed once.
- During the before run, `GET /api/issues/:id/execution` showed `Waiting
for server restart` / `server_restarting` until dispatch.
- Red, then green: `execution-projection.test.ts` restart-phase cases
failed on the old code (`label: "Queued"`, `cause: null`) and pass now.
- New `heartbeat-startup-fresh-dispatch.test.ts` (real PostgreSQL): a
fresh run starts; an agent with a `running` row from the previous
process and an agent with a queued retry stay queued; nothing starts
while a task drain is active.
- `npx vitest run` for the new test, `heartbeat-task-drain*.test.ts`,
`execution-projection*.test.ts`, `startup-recovery-timing.test.ts`,
`heartbeat/queue.test.ts`, `liveness.test.ts`: 132 passed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` passed.

## Risks

- New queued runs can start before native restart recovery finishes. The
fast path excludes any agent with a `running` row or a queued retry or
continuation, and the claim checks still enforce issue ownership,
predecessor cleanup, budgets, pauses, and concurrency. A new wakeup
during startup already starts runs at this point, so this adds no new
class of early execution.
- The drain is unchanged. It still holds new runs while the deploy waits
for in-flight runs (the Cloud wait budget is at most 5 minutes). This PR
does not change Cloud.
- The new label depends on the process-local startup phase. It shows
only on the process that is restarting.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 90b8190c33 fix(native-runtime): detect half-open runner ingress and project Stop for live runs (#19407)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs in a managed sandbox talk to the server through a
provider-ingress WebSocket. The server opens this socket to the runner
(`paperclip-runnerd`) through the sandbox preview proxy.
> - A staging run ran a 20-minute foreground shell command that printed
nothing. After the first second, no run events arrived. The run stayed
"Working" for over 35 minutes. No watchdog acted, and the run projection
said `canStop: false`.
> - The server only detected a lost runner connection from a `close` or
`error` event. It never sent pings. A half-open route, for example a
proxy that drops the connection without a FIN, never emits `close`. The
run then waits forever and the 7-minute reconnect grace never starts.
> - A long silent tool call is legitimate. The fix must tell "quiet but
alive" apart from "nothing alive". A protocol ping does that: runnerd
answers every ping with a pong while its provider waits on the tool.
> - This pull request pings authenticated runner connections and
terminates the socket after 90 seconds of total silence. The existing
reconnect grace and transport-failure path then recover the run. It also
makes the execution projection report `canStop: true` for every queued
or running run.
> - The benefit is that a run with a dead runner connection now ends in
a bounded time instead of hanging. API readers also see the Stop that
the board already offers.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A native-runner run (managed sandbox, OpenCode with an OpenRouter model)
ran a foreground shell command for about 20 minutes with no output. The
last run event came at about T+1s. The command finished on disk, but the
run never got another event and stayed `running` / "Working" for over 35
minutes. Its projection had `canStop: false` and `permittedActions:
["inspect_run"]`. A board cancel through the API worked.

**Expected behavior**
The server detects a dead runner connection and recovers or fails the
run in a bounded time. A runner that is alive but quiet stays attached.
The projection reports that a live run can be stopped.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native run in a managed sandbox.
2. Make the agent run a long foreground command that prints nothing.
3. Let the preview route drop the WebSocket without a close frame.
4. Before this fix, the run stays "Working" forever.

## What Changed

- `server/src/realtime/runner-prp-outbound.ts`: after PRP
authentication, `WsJsonWireConnection.monitorLiveness` sends a WebSocket
ping every 20 s. Any inbound frame or pong counts as liveness. After 90
s with nothing inbound, it terminates the socket. That emits an ordinary
`close`, so the PRP authority and the reconnect loop use the existing
7-minute grace and then fail the transport. If the server's own event
loop stalls, the window restarts instead of blaming the runner. The 90 s
bound is longer than runnerd's own 60 s connection lease, which already
requires runnerd to read the socket.
- `server/src/services/execution-projection.ts`: `canStop` is now `true`
for every `queued` or `running` run. The old failed-native-retry rule is
unchanged.
- `server/src/services/execution-projection.ts`: a queued run now shows
"Waiting for previous run to stop" (cause `previous_run_settling`) when
a predecessor that admission checks (the task execution owner, the
retried run, or the agent's latest settled run on the task) still has
pending cleanup by `hasPendingRunCleanup`. Before, a turn queued after a
Stop showed only "Queued" with no reason while the stopped run's
controller still waited on the dead runner. That in-process wait
(`claimQueuedRun` settling-owner gate) also made Retry a no-op. The
liveness bound above makes that controller settle. Its existing cleanup
then calls `startNextQueuedRunForAgent`, which starts the queued turn.
- `server/src/services/run-cancellation.ts` and
`server/src/modules/run-dispatch/adapters/postgres.ts`: a user-stopped
native run whose runner was unreachable can later settle as `failed`
(`native_provider_terminal_failed`) when its transport fails closed. The
dispatch gate's message deferral required a `cancelled` source and
compared the message with `finishedAt`. The user's follow-up message was
therefore marked `skipped`, and the task asked for a second message. The
new `recordedUserStop` helper honors the recorded user Stop on such a
failed source, so the gate saves the message for the deferred-receipt
worker.
- `packages/shared/src/types/execution-projection.ts`: documents the
`canStop` meaning.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: documents the ingress liveness bound and
the new `canStop` meaning.

## Verification

- Red then green: `runner-prp-outbound.test.ts` "detects a half-open
authenticated ingress and fails the run within a bounded window". On the
old code it failed because no ping was sent and the socket was never
terminated. It now passes and the active-run `failure` rejects with
`runner_ingress_unavailable`.
- Safety: "keeps a quiet but live runner attached through a long silent
tool call" checks that a runner answering pings stays attached for 20
simulated minutes with no termination and no failure.
- Red then green: `execution-projection.test.ts` "offers Stop for every
live run, including a long-silent native turn". On the old code it
failed with `canStop: false`.
- Red then green: `execution-projection-recovery.test.ts` "names the
wait when a stopped predecessor still holds the task's runner" (real
Postgres). On the old code the successor projected a plain "Queued". It
also checks that the wait clears on lease release and ignores another
agent's run.
- Red then green: `workspace-recovery.test.ts` "continues a message sent
after Stop when the stopped run later failed closed". On the old code it
failed 3 of 3 runs with the receipt `skipped`. It now passes, and the
full file passes twice (392 tests). The test now pins the message after
the recorded Stop. Before, the fixture could write both in the same
millisecond, which made the sibling variants flaky.
- Passed: run-cancellation, explicit-native-continuation, run-dispatch
and run-control suites (622 tests).
- Passed: `npx vitest run src/realtime/
src/services/execution-projection*.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-run-privacy-routes.test.ts`, the
native-runner-execution-driver tests, and the plugin-runner-task tests.
- Passed: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`.
- I read runnerd (`runner-core/src/durable/transport.rs`) and confirmed
it answers `Ping` with `Pong` in its non-blocking read loop.
- Not run: a live managed-sandbox reproduction. Staging and Daytona were
not reachable from this environment. `plugin-runner-probe.test.ts` needs
a local cargo build of runnerd, and it did not start in this worktree.

## Risks

- A false termination is possible if a runner fails to answer pings for
90 s while it is still alive. runnerd already loses its own connection
lease after 60 s without reading, so this bound does not add a stricter
requirement. A terminated live runner reconnects within the existing
grace.
- If the preview proxy drops WebSocket control frames, ping alone does
not prove liveness. Inbound PRP frames (runnerd's lease renewals, about
every 30 s) still count, so a live runner stays attached.
- `canStop` now means "the board can Stop now" for live runs. The UI
already shows Stop for running and queued runs without reading this
hint, so the UI does not change.
- Out of scope: the inbound runner WebSocket server
(`runner-prp-ws.ts`), and a lost OpenCode SSE event while the runner is
alive. A stopped run whose controller hangs for a reason other than a
dead transport still holds the queued successor. The projection now
names that wait, but this PR does not force-release it, because the
controller has no termination evidence. A queued reason for the agent
concurrency cap is also not covered. The wait label calls the admission
predicate (`hasPendingRunCleanup`) for up to three predecessor runs per
queued run. This adds a few reads to projections of queued runs only.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13148
Refs #13379

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

## Risks

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

DottaandPaperclip f52da40f08 fix: resume queued turns after maintenance (#17967)
Keep an accepted turn's starting input in task history, show its admission wait, and resume existing queued runs promptly when maintenance ends or expires.

Verified with behavioral red/green regressions, real PostgreSQL and process execution, browser/native Runner acceptance with a deterministic provider, workspace typecheck, production build, and current-head CI/review.

DottaandPaperclip f0877a9c7c fix: recover native work and requalify saved computers (#17724)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/32/changes/paperclip/32
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and preserves their work after an
interruption.
> - Native Stop must confirm termination and save the workspace.
> - Task and run views must show the current recovery receipt.
> - A new external reply can arrive while that cleanup is pending.
> - The reply must return to its original chat owner after cleanup.
> - A successful fresh retry also becomes the task’s bound workspace for
its next ordinary turn.
> - Managed computer updates can invalidate a saved snapshot
qualification.
> - This pull request fixes those instructions, acknowledgements,
handoffs and the existing native-agent Test path.
> - The operator can continue with new input while the stopped turn
remains preserved.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Stopped native runs could keep the initial workspace-repair instruction
after files were recovered. Native Stop could also leave the shared
cancellation state at requested after remote termination was confirmed.
A new GitHub reply saved during cleanup could then remain queued because
cleanup did not ask its original inbound owner to reconsider the
receipt. After a managed snapshot update, an existing native agent could
also need qualification while the generic environment Test required
instance-admin access.

**Expected behavior**

Show the current saved-work state. Acknowledge Stop only after exact
termination proof. Let an authorized operator use the existing
saved-agent Run test to qualify its current computer. After cleanup,
recheck the saved reply's current authority and admit it once as new
input. Preserve the stopped run and uncertain external effects.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Stop an active native turn before it returns a semantic result.
2. Send a new authorized external reply while cleanup is pending.
3. Let workspace recovery and provider cleanup finish. Inspect the run
instruction, Stop acknowledgement and queued reply.

Related work: #17594 preserves native processes through controller
outages. #17401 addresses a separate bootstrap failure. This pull
request does not replace those fixes.

## What Changed

- Use the exact run's workspace recovery receipt for task and run
guidance, including the Activity ledger.
- Retire an obsolete exact-session notice through the existing bounded
reconciler. Preserve the separate no-replay hold.
- Write the shared native Stop acknowledgement only after the audited
Stop intent and every exact remote lease receipt match.
- Delegate saved external input to the live inbound owner. Recheck its
source, actor, endpoint, principal and conversation generation. Promote
the same receipt in the transaction that creates its new run.
- Use that owner from the cleanup callback and existing stranded-queue
catch-up after a lost callback or restart. A denied source cannot abort
other items.
- Reuse the current private task directory after a successful fresh
retry. Re-read the company/task/workspace binding and validate the
canonical stable or attempt namespace without recreating missing files;
keep a later fresh retry separate.
- Extend the existing agent-scoped qualification owner to native agents.
The clean saved-agent Test qualifies its exact computer before runtime
testing. Reuse a current proof; require a real probe and verified
cleanup for a stale proof. Preserve draft tests and metadata-only
external/pool previews.
- Update execution semantics, capability maps and the recovery
verification recipe. Add a production-page Storybook interaction for the
normal native Test.

## Verification

- **Red:** persisted recovery states returned stale instructions; an
exact terminated native lease left shared Stop requested; the real
GitHub subscribed-message fixture left zero successors after cleanup.
The controlled baseline restored the previous production source,
reproduced the failure, then restored the fixed bytes with matching
SHA-256 hashes.
- **Green:** 382 durable-chat, native-continuation, Stop and recovery
tests pass. The real GitHub/PostgreSQL handoff matrix passes 12/12. It
covers callback, application restart, callback/sweep race, valid input
behind a deleted source, and denial for unknown stop, wrong allocation,
paused endpoint, revoked principal, deleted or changed source, changed
conversation generation and foreign scope. Repeated callbacks preserve
one receipt, its actor, one successor and the unchanged stopped
predecessor.
- **Workspace continuation red/green:** the real PostgreSQL preparation
flow created a fresh attempt and saved a marker, then rejected the next
ordinary turn with the same binding mismatch observed in deployed use.
The repaired preparation and filesystem suites pass 86/86: stable and
attempt-root reuse, saved-marker preservation, a later clean sibling,
changed current bindings, foreign company/task, closed workspace,
traversal, missing path and symlink refusal. No task row reset or
old-turn replay is used.
- **Qualification red/green:** a native saved-agent qualification
returned 422, and its normal Test skipped qualification. The repaired
path passes 224 qualification/immutable-snapshot/environment tests and
176 UI/upgrade tests. It covers revoked authority, foreign or changed
computer, current-proof reuse, failed/missing proof, draft settings,
settings changed during the probe, and external/pool previews. On exact
current source, the real local Harness / Runtime UI also qualified a
newly saved disposable Computer with missing proof through actual
Daytona, then completed the actual OpenCode/OpenRouter hello probe using
`openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017`. Supported availability
changed from Legacy-only to Paperclip Runner after proof persistence.
Qualification and runtime leases both completed normal release/cleanup.
The five prior task run IDs were unchanged; no task wake was created.
This is macOS source-server/UI with real Linux Daytona and provider
services, not a hosted UI claim. Test probes are archived by the
existing inspection contract; release does not claim physical deletion.
- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, token, map and diff
checks pass at `f6450f4739fc8141815b8b7c35fde22a655c5f90`. The broad
local `pnpm test:run` passed 24,899 tests and reported one existing
nested-clone test timeout at 15 seconds. The complete failing file then
passed 21/21 with the normal timeout; the exact case also passed on the
pinned earlier baseline. The broad runner stopped before its later
groups. No timeout or production workaround was added. Prior head
`f6450f4` has 53 successful checks, two conditional Storybook skips and
Greptile 5/5 with no inline threads. New workspace-reuse head
`fcb13399ec70f92f71bd8250081251dca3f48962` passes workspace typecheck,
full build, 86 scoped tests, maps and diff checks; Current-head CI has
53 successful checks and two conditional Storybook skips; Greptile is
5/5 with no inline findings. Deployed ordinary-turn reuse acceptance
passed as described below.

- **Hosted Stop proof:** the real GitHub issue-mention path used native
OpenCode, `openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017`, Daytona and an
exact low-trust task boundary. Normal UI Stop interrupted an active Bash
call. Native and shared acknowledgements matched the exact lease.
Automatic recovery saved exactly `STARTED\n` (8 bytes), with no finish
marker. Reload showed Stopped and saved work recovered. Only the
original cancelled run remained. Normal five-minute cleanup completed
its exact provider-destruction transition.
- **Limits:** the provider buffered command output, so the marker was
read after recovery. The approved local provider credential could not
inspect the hosted sandbox; its 404 is not deletion proof. Cleanup
success comes from the exact lease's platform destruction transition. An
earlier hosted stale instruction disappeared after rollout with
unchanged raw run/action data; that historical cause remains
unexplained. Original incident holds and publication receipts were
untouched.
- **Hosted handoff proof:** after QA deployed the combined candidate
containing `46b2e99`, startup admitted the previously saved GitHub
author reply without another comment, Retry or manual action. The new
native run used the exact original wake receipt and saved comment. It
completed once, committed an external-response wait, preserved the
stopped predecessor, emptied the queue and left the task In review. The
answer appeared in the original GitHub conversation. Workspace
finalization and the exact lease's normal destruction transition
succeeded.
- **Hosted workspace proof:** on the combined candidate containing
`fcb13399`, normal Retry preserved the original authenticated GitHub
request and completed a fresh native attempt. One later ordinary
same-head author reply then completed in the exact same workspace ID and
attempt directory, with no Retry/fresh directive. Its input tree digest
matched the Retry's finalized digest; final copyback preserved that
digest. The persisted assessment row and all five prior run records were
unchanged, exactly one new reply run completed, and the task returned to
In review with an empty queue and no live run. Both exact leases
completed normal verified destruction. This used real native OpenCode,
the exact DeepSeek/OpenRouter model and Daytona, without workspace-row
repair or a new remote marker.
- **Publication limit:** the workspace audit compares the persisted
assessment and run history. The ordinary reply exposed a separate
destination-summary fallback that changed the visible GitHub summary
despite the preserved assessment row. The publication track is repairing
that behavior; this proof does not claim the visible summary was
preserved.
- **Deployment boundary:** current-head CI/review and hosted same-source
Retry/ordinary-workspace reuse acceptance passed. The separate
visible-summary publication failure remains owned by the publication
track. Combined hosted UI confirmation of the native-agent Test path is
coordinated separately. Actual missing-proof UI/provider qualification
has passed in the isolated local instance above; prior hosted Stop and
same-input handoff proof remains separate. No merge or deployment is
performed by this pull request.

## Risks

Recovery state and termination receipts must match the exact source run
and allocation. Missing or foreign proof keeps the hold. The chat owner
must retain the original receipt and actor and recheck current
authority. Cleanup cannot grant authority or replay the stopped turn.
Existing native ownership, Stop, budget, permission and uncertain-effect
guards remain in place.

DottaandPaperclip 5842185e4f fix: surface native cleanup quarantine and add chat qualification evals (#13775)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Agent Chat needs reliable native execution before native runners
become the onboarding default.
> - Existing stories covered idle reassignment and controller restart,
but not an executing worker handoff or worker process loss.
> - Status answer tests also need to reject stale claims and invented
facts.
> - This pull request adds six opt-in full-stack cells with independent
state assertions and retained evidence.
> - The probes exposed a misleading Retry across server projection and
recovery-banner paths; the fix reports the blocked recovery honestly.
> - The tests preserve failures without changing recovery policy,
production prompts, or onboarding defaults.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #13762. Related: #13765 (Retry targets the latest failed attempt),
#13753 (task context ownership), #13746 (native recovery work).

## What Changed

- Add active reassignment with saved draft and plan preservation,
old-worker cancellation, and successor completion checks.
- Preserve recovery-needed projection when native cleanup fails before
its coordinator exists, refuse a generic retry that would immediately
fail again, and replace the recovery banner's misleading Retry with
Inspect run.
- Add verified local worker process loss with a required successful
continuation; retain a failing qualification result when recovery is
unavailable, while independently verifying the UI/API refuse doomed
retries.
- Add two-turn factual answer checks for current blockers, stale claims,
inactive backlog work, and unknown facts. Retain prose for separate
semantic review.
- Add positive and negative oracle calibration and document fault
isolation, cleanup, billing, and qualification limits.

## Verification

- Eval TypeScript check passes.
- All 442 eval support tests pass locally. The 89 focused server tests
and server typecheck pass. Six recovery-banner UI tests and token gates
pass.
- Initial new-cell campaign:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35657128077. All
six results are retained; four failed on fixture-contract issues and two
exposed real worker cleanup quarantine.
- All 26 existing native onboarding cells:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35656761484 (26/26
passed on master 846336e5a, all cleanup passed).
- Intermediate handoff/fault campaign:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35657945095 (four
retained failures: two overly strict draft oracles, two real crash
quarantines).
- Final active handoff:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35659014397 (2/2
passed on cf6d4ae3a; both cleanup passed).
- Clarified answer-quality fixtures:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35658262695 (2/2
passed on 4a26f10be; both cleanup passed; all four answers semantically
reviewed).
- Quarantine guard regression campaign:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35659580100 (both
API requests correctly refused with 409/no second run, but exposed a
separate misleading Retry in the recovery banner and a fixture wait on a
non-admitted run).
- Final quarantine guard verification:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35661067305
(147e42f7e: both providers verify Inspect run/no Retry, HTTP 409, one
retained run, unchanged saved plan, and successful disposable cleanup.
Both evals intentionally remain red with
`worker_crash_recovery_unqualified`; no successful continuation exists).
The preceding campaign 35658772755 never ran provider cases because
GitHub artifact finalization returned HTTP 403.
- Full repository CI passes on 147e42f7e: typecheck, tests, build, and
browser gates. One unchanged local-service-supervisor readiness test
failed initially; its six-test file passed in isolation and the failed
shard passed on its single rerun. Latest-head rollup: 54 successful, 2
intentionally skipped, no failed or pending checks. Greptile is 5/5 with
zero unresolved findings.
- See tests/runner-e2e/QUALIFICATION-2026-09-21.md for retained attempts
and semantic review. Published reports:
[onboarding](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35656761484-1/),

[crash guards and unqualified
recovery](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35661067305-1/).

## Risks

- Paid cells are explicit-only and local-only. The fault fixture signals
only the exact native run PID after checking its identity.
- Live worker-loss probes currently fail on cleanup quarantine for both
providers. The eval must remain red until there is a usable recovery,
even when preservation and refusal checks pass. Verified cleanup with a
fresh attempt versus exact-session resume remains a product decision.
- Structured facts alone do not qualify prose quality; semantic review
remains separate.
- Onboarding uses the existing runtime switch after the real wizard and
before provider execution. Native UI selection and public defaults
remain unchanged.

execution. The exact served snapshot and context-window size are not

DottaandPaperclip 0e9b24c821 fix: resume subscription comment wakes and preserve retry status (#13433)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Concurrent task runs can share a managed AI subscription with one
credential lease.
> - #13438 added durable retries for busy subscriptions and task-lock
checks.
> - A comment wake can run for an agent who is not the task assignee.
Such a run never owns the task lock, so the new checks suppress its
retry.
> - This pull request preserves those comment wakes while keeping the
lock checks for assignee runs.
> - It also shows the subscription wait in task status and preserves the
failure count through the database projection.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13438.

**What happened?**

When a subscription is busy, a non-assignee comment wake is cancelled
without a successor. Repeated subscription waits also display an
inflated attempt count because the execution query omits the preserved
failure count.

**Expected behavior**

An eligible comment wake waits and resumes without claiming the
assignee's task lock. The task shows “Waiting for AI subscription”.
Waiting does not consume provider-failure retries. Assignee retries
still stop when the task lock is cleared or transferred.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Configure an agent with a managed subscription and concurrent runs.
2. Hold its credential lease in one run.
3. Mention the agent on a task assigned to another actor.
4. Release the lease and inspect whether the comment wake has a
scheduled retry.

The test uses a real embedded Postgres database and a real credential
lease. Provider execution uses a fixture. The reassignment test applies
a database mutation after the real checkout. No live provider account is
needed.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Based on `f912ecaac` from #13438. Before the reconciliation fix, the
rebased regression at `2063cfd13` failed because the comment wake had no
scheduled retry. The original configuration failure was reproduced on
`5282cabde` before #13438 merged.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source with embedded Postgres for local verification.

## What Changed

- Record non-assignee comment-wake authority at admission while holding
the task and run locks. A later reassignment cannot grant this
exception. Preserve it through repeated subscription waits.
- Keep master’s lock checks for assignee retries, including the check
inside the scheduling transaction.
- Show the subscription wait and preserve its failure count in the
execution projection query.
- Limit pre-provider wait receipts to fresh executions. A persisted
native execution input must retain its recovery path.
- Add lease, retry, projection, cancellation, reassignment, pause,
revocation, service-recreation, and ownership regression coverage.
- Use master’s 60–120 second retry interval and document the resulting
behavior.

## Verification

- Red: after rebase, the comment-wake test failed with no scheduled
retry; the other 50 contention and retry-scheduling tests passed.
- Red/green: reassigning the task immediately after real checkout
reproduced an unwanted successor for both assignment and comment wakes.
Both tests pass after recording authority at admission.
- Green: all 285 targeted tests pass across 12 suites, including
#13438’s four cancellation-race phases, its hiring/connection suite,
run-dispatch integration tests, and both reassignment regressions.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes after rebase.
- `pnpm build` passes on the final revision.
- The full general and serialized test suites pass in [CI run
34899514681](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34899514681)
on `99f1e4c1d`. Full-suite verification ran in CI; local verification
used the 285 targeted tests.
- All 32 active PR checks pass, including build, typecheck, native
runner verification, canary dry run, and all browser shards. Two
Storybook checks are skipped by path filters.
- Greptile reviewed `99f1e4c1d` at 5/5 with no outstanding findings. All
review threads are resolved.
- `git diff --check` and `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs`
pass.

## Risks

- The non-assignee exception requires authority recorded under admission
locks or its server-created subscription retry. Tests cover
caller-supplied flags, assignment and comment reassignment races,
repeated comment waits, and assignee lock protections.
- A wait uses master’s 60–120 second interval. A long-held lease can
produce multiple wait records.
- Existing native sessions can have provider effects. They must not
receive a fresh-execution receipt that permits replay.
- No schema migration or credential permission change is required.

DottaandPaperclip 6809314a3f fix: recover sandbox workspace setup and retries (#13353)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their tasks.
> - Sandbox tasks need a workspace and a provider session before work
can start.
> - A selected Git subfolder is a valid workspace, but it is not a
repository fetch source.
> - A resumed sandbox must keep one resource identity when the provider
fills in its region.
> - Workspace reuse does not prove that a provider session has started.
> - A recorded continuation must not leave an old failure blocking Retry
for a newer attempt.
> - This pull request fixes those setup and recovery boundaries while
preserving ownership checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A Daytona task failed before provider startup when its project folder
was inside a parent Git repository. After the folder was repaired, Retry
resumed the same sandbox and verified its workspace sentinel, but
workspace preparation reported that the lease was no longer active. A
later attempt could fail because the resumed workspace had no provider
checkpoint. The old run also kept a recovery projection after the server
recorded its explicit successor, hiding Retry for the new failure.

**Expected behavior**

Sync the selected folder without importing parent files or history. Keep
the existing sandbox identity stable. Allow a new provider session only
with proof that its exact session has never started. Let the current
failed attempt retain Retry once the old recovery has a recorded
successor.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Select a subfolder of a Git repository as a project workspace and
start a Daytona task.
2. Leave the target region unset. Release its reusable sandbox after
setup fails, then resume and realize the workspace.
3. Retry a provider setup that failed before any session directory or
checkpoint was created.
4. Record an explicit successor for a native failure, fail that
successor during setup, and inspect Retry in the task thread.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against `8d1f0c20a` with new failing regressions before each
production fix.

**Deployment mode**

Local controller with a Daytona environment. Automated tests use
deterministic provider fixtures and real filesystem operations.

Related: #13338, #13163, #13264, #13349. The open work-folder stack in
#13264 includes a broader fresh-session authority change. This patch
addresses the independently reproduced startup failure with existing
durable bootstrap proof and atomic directory creation. It does not
include the work-folder migration or credential changes from that stack.

## What Changed

- Classify only the selected Git repository root as a fetch source. Sync
subfolders as directories and preserve their enclosing Git ignore rules
on upload and restore. Recognize the shared scheduler’s completed
non-repository result so ordinary folders still sync; timeout,
cancellation, and output-limit failures remain closed.
- Remove the placement target from Daytona account cache identity. Keep
API endpoint, credential digest, company, environment, driver, and
sandbox ID boundaries.
- Preserve closed-lease admission until a sentinel-verified resume
reopens that same resource.
- Show the already-recorded explicit successor of a resolved recovery.
Keep the old failure evidence and unresolved holds. No historical status
writes occur.
- Permit a resumed workspace to create a new session directory only with
matching durable identity, zero connections and events, untouched
bootstrap commands, no backup, and an absent remote session. Claim the
directory atomically. Existing, partial, or ambiguous state still blocks
startup.

## Verification

- Final head `c43c7403f`: [CI completed
successfully](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34733846820/attempts/2),
with 32 successful checks and 2 conditional skips. This includes every
server, UI, package, serialized-route, browser, native-runner,
typecheck, and build gate. Greptile reviewed the same head at [5/5 with
no unresolved
findings](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13353#issuecomment-5650270168).
- New regressions failed before each of the four production fixes.
Git/archive/restore suites: 148 passed. The scheduler-wrapped non-Git
regression also failed before its fix; 135 affected Git/sync/Codex tests
then passed.
- Daytona plugin: 230 passed, 6 opt-in live tests skipped. Native
executor, projection, and TaskChatThread: 494 passed, including
existing/partial state, wrong identity, prior connections or turns,
backups, unavailable proof, and unresolved recovery controls.
- Local full-repository typecheck, build, and token gates passed on the
final head. Local CLI: 485 passed. Complete single-worker package rerun:
3,224 passed, 19 skipped.
- Local verification is an aggregate with recorded retries, not one
pristine green invocation: the general-server run began on `e721a920a`
and finished with 12,002 passed, 3 failed, 70 skipped. Its real Codex
scheduler failure is fixed above; the socket and workspace-runtime
timeout failures passed unchanged in focused reruns. Both Inbox failures
passed unchanged in the full 27-test Inbox file; database/shared-package
failures passed in the single-worker package rerun. The supplemental
local serialized-route rerun remains in progress; all five corresponding
final-head CI lanes passed.
- The first final-head CI attempt hit a Daytona fixture-readiness race
and a signoff-browser heartbeat receipt timeout. One supported unchanged
failed-job rerun passed both and the aggregate gates. Live combined
user-journey verification is tracked in the related follow-up; this PR's
provider tests use deterministic fixtures and real filesystem checks.

## Risks

- A selected subfolder uses directory sync and does not carry parent Git
history. Its ignored files stay local.
- The target region remains a creation setting and part of workspace
reuse policy; it does not split the account identity of an existing
sandbox.
- Incomplete or conflicting provider state still fails closed. This
change does not erase a session, infer completed work, bypass a user
decision, or replay uncertain actions.
- A later remote setup failure can leave a claimed partial session
directory. It remains blocked rather than being overwritten.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, and code
execution. The exact hosted model ID and context-window size are not
exposed in this task.
