DottaandPaperclip 7bc03e0acd feat(runner): default harnesses to full auto and support task reassignment (#13686)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Agent Chat uses native runners to save plans and coordinate tasks.
> - Provider defaults differed across harnesses and could stop
unattended work at a second permission gate.
> - Agents also lacked a dedicated tool to move existing work to another
agent safely.
> - This change defaults native providers to full automatic permission
for provider tools and connected tools.
> - A guarded reassignment tool preserves task identity, stops the
previous run, and schedules the new owner once.
> - Codex and Claude chat acceptance tests now use production permission
defaults.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Native runner, ACPX Claude permission policy, task authority, and Agent
Chat acceptance tests.

**Problem or motivation**

A user can authorize an agent to save a plan or create a task, but
Claude's default provider gate can still stop that action. Reassignment
needs a dedicated operation that preserves context and avoids concurrent
owners or unintended recovery runs.

**Proposed solution**

Default Claude/ACPX to `approve-all`, OpenCode to `allow`, and Codex to
`never`. Apply the defaults at configuration, execution, fresh-session,
resume, driver, and proxy boundaries. Keep explicit permission settings
and server-side company, claim, task-mode, and approval checks. Add
`reassign_task` with version checks, durable idempotency, audited
cancellation, and guarded successor scheduling.

**Alternatives considered**

A Paperclip-only allowlist still blocks provider tools and other
connections during unattended work. Full automatic permission is the
requested product default. Recreating a task discards its identity and
history. Updating assignment without stopping the previous run can leave
two agents working on the same task.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the existing planning, delegated work, governed tool
access, and recovery features. It adds no new service or schema
migration. Recent related tasks and open PRs were checked for duplicate
work.

**Additional context**

Related: #13678 (Agent Chat tools and recovery), #13677 (remote runner
startup). The stacked legacy-adapter companion is #13693. This also
fixes the deployed-server artifact fallback needed to stage the current
runner binary.

## What Changed

- Default Claude/ACPX to `approve-all`, OpenCode to `allow`, and Codex
to `never`, including missing settings at direct driver and proxy entry
points. These defaults cover provider tools and connected tools.
Preserve explicitly configured restrictive modes.
- Include assigned approval reads using canonical side-effect
classifications, so verifying a recorded approval does not trigger
another provider gate. Paperclip approval decisions still enforce
controller authority.
- Carry the new permission mode through server configuration, execution
contracts, recovery identity, TypeScript, and Rust. Keep
`approve-paperclip` as an optional restricted mode, with exact SDK rules
and closed unknown requests. It is not a default.
- Add `reassign_task` to the semantic catalog, controller, mock
authority, and generated contracts.
- Guard reassignment with company authorization, expected owner and
version, protected-state checks, and durable retry receipts.
- Honor explicit backlog task creation atomically with the initial plan,
without scheduling a wake. Preserve backlog holds regardless of
dependency readiness.
- Stop active work before changing ownership. Restore the prior owner
through a guarded, idempotent wake if final handoff validation fails.
Keep intentional reassignment stops out of failure recovery. Preserve
backlog and blocked states without waking them early.
- Add authorization, concurrency, replay, stop, and permission boundary
regressions. Add Codex and Claude chat reassignment cases and run native
chat cases with production defaults.
- Clarify shared runner guidance: save plans and Paperclip documents
directly with `write_document`; create and register a local file only
when a downloadable file is requested.
- Document provider defaults and the operator choices for existing
agents.

## Verification

- Current head `d82fbb0f03546d27cecf072250e4172e0b1ee662`: **55 checks
passed**, with two intentional skips. [PR
checks](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13686/checks).
- Greptile reviewed that exact head at **5/5**. The security reviewer
acknowledged the intended full-auto default, and the acknowledged
discussions are resolved.
- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed locally
after rebasing onto current master. Targeted adapter/server, runner,
API, default/resume, and heartbeat configuration tests passed.
- **All six real-provider acceptance cases passed on their first
attempt, with cleanup passing:** plan handoff, task reassignment, and
backlog creation/status, each on native Claude and Codex. Evidence
records Claude's effective `approve-all` mode. [Campaign and
downloadable
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35469926548).
- The live campaign tested combined revision
`a37881c824dcd7170380fc4b788732fc743e5da7`. The final PR heads add only
a heartbeat test expectation correction; application code is unchanged
from that live-tested revision.
- The campaign's result-enforcement job passed. Its separate report
publisher failed because the trusted workflow's `patchedDependencies`
configuration differs from its frozen lockfile. All six results and
screenshots remain available as GitHub artifacts. The overall manual
workflow is red for this publishing failure.
- Full-suite coverage is supplied by the passing CI partitions. The
separate unsharded local run was stopped after the corresponding CI
partitions passed; it is not counted as a completed local run.
- Reassignment tests cover stale state, cross-company access, denied
authority, cancellation failure, compensating wake, and idempotent
retries. Backlog tests verify the original creation audit, saved plan,
exact task count, and absence of task-bound runs.

## Risks

- Agents with no explicit permission mode now receive full provider tool
permission, including connected tools. This is a deliberate broad
default. Existing explicit restrictive modes still apply. Controller
authorization, company isolation, workspace boundaries, and Paperclip
governance remain in force.
- Reassignment crosses run cancellation and task ownership transactions.
Durable stop intent, revalidation, audit receipts, and guarded queue
dispatch cover interruptions and retries.
- The new permission enum requires a current runner artifact. The remote
artifact fallback uses the same resolved controller binary for upload
and execution.
- Live provider behavior remains subject to the selected model. Targeted
live results do not qualify the full catalog.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with code execution and repository tools.
The exact deployment model ID and context-window size are not exposed in
this session.

DottaandPaperclip 84fe89906d fix: complete native agent review handoffs (#13581)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native execution uses durable runs, issue locks, wake requests, and
typed tool authority
> - A child can finish with a native agent review request while its
original assignee stays responsible for the work
> - The reviewer then needs a bounded execution path that can inspect
the child, record one decision, and finish safely
> - Before this change, assignee-only gates rejected the reviewer or
left the parent waiting after the child review ended
> - This pull request adds typed reviewer admission, scoped reviewer
tools, durable wake and recovery handling, and parent continuation
evidence
> - The benefit is that native review handoffs complete without changing
child ownership or granting broad mutation access

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #13314
Refs: #13574

**What happened?**

A native child run could report `needs_review` for an agent reviewer.
The reviewer wake then failed assignee and execution-lock checks. The
child remained in review and the parent remained waiting.

**Expected behavior**

The named reviewer should receive one durable wake. The reviewer should
inspect the child and resolve the exact review card. The child assignee
should stay unchanged. The parent should receive the recorded review
outcome after the child reaches its terminal state.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a native task with a different named agent reviewer.
2. Keep the child assigned to its original worker.
3. Let the worker finish with a native completion review request.
4. Start the durable reviewer wake.
5. Resolve the review and finish the reviewer run.
6. Observe the child and parent state.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base: `e926b1301`. PR head: `b31ad9ab8`. Live reviewer verification
source: `eea171aae`.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source.

**Installation method**

Built from source (pnpm build).

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

Not adapter-specific (core bug).

**Access context**

Both.

**Database mode**

Embedded PostgreSQL in the isolated live test fixtures.

## What Changed

- Add server-validated native review assignment facts.
- Admit only the exact company, issue, source run, decision, revision,
addressee, and resolver policy.
- Give reviewer runs a narrow set of Paperclip read and resolve tools.
File and shell access follow the configured agent and environment
policy, so reviewers can run tests.
- Separate server-owned reviewer instructions from untrusted persisted
review data. Escape the data boundary; retain server-enforced
authorization.
- Keep the child assignee unchanged. Atomically claim the reviewer run,
wake request, and issue execution lock. A competing lock prevents
provider startup.
- Require the exact running reviewer session and current issue lock to
resolve its assigned card. Reject missing, unrelated, or terminal
reviewer runs.
- Add durable reviewer wake, lock, stale-card, and abandoned-run
recovery handling.
- Prevent duplicate native wake dispatches during deferred admission and
recovery.
- Carry accepted or rejected child review outcomes into parent task
context and continuation evidence.
- Add focused server, runner, and native protocol coverage.
- Preserve upstream continuation rules. Add child review decisions as
separate evidence, while keeping real human answers in their own field.
- Return actionable completion validation feedback to both providers.
Permit a corrected completion after rejection. Keep strict terminal
acknowledgment validation.
- Apply exclusive shared-workspace locks to sandbox environments. Local
and SSH folders can run concurrently, including when old settings
request serialization.
- Repair test timing, native event parsing, and the review artifact
assertion. Allow a valid reject, correct, and accept review sequence.
Check the accepted card against its reviewer run and decision. Keep
polling within the existing deadline when review acceptance precedes the
parent wake projection; report a specific missing-continuation error at
timeout.
- Apply the ACPX pending-call limit to reserved finish/block calls, with
capacity-release and cancellation tests.

## Verification

- `pnpm build`: passed on `eea171aae`.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed on `eea171aae`.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit`: 359 tests passed in 30 files on
`b31ad9ab8`; runner E2E typecheck also passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed.
- Focused DB review, reviewer authority, and prompt-boundary checks: 31
tests passed. They cover invalid reviewer runs, competing locks, atomic
admission, duplicate claims, and valid resolution.
- Heartbeat, workspace, and recovery checks: 30 tests passed.
- ACPX sidecar suite: 27 tests passed. Moving the capacity guard back
below reserved handling makes both new regression cases fail.
- Four focused live continuation checks passed on their first attempt at
`f15f55e0a`: answer updates scope (6/6 each on Codex and Claude) and
question tool guidance (12/12 each). These cases do not use the reviewer
prompt path changed afterward.
- Fresh Codex and Claude review-handoff checks passed all 29 native
checks each on their first attempt at `eea171aae`. Both runs received
the expected fixed prompt and completed cleanup. Only the six selected
live flows were tested; no full paid provider catalog run.
- The final commit only extracts the existing test-harness timeout
diagnostic into a shared helper and adds positive and negative coverage.
Removing the accepted-review guard makes two regression assertions fail;
restoring it passes all six timeout tests. Production runtime code,
prompts, deadlines, and grading criteria are unchanged by this final
commit.
- Deadline regressions: a valid continuation delayed 20 seconds succeeds
within its 30-second unit-test deadline; an absent wake returns a
specific candidate-failure diagnostic at that same deadline. Both
assertions failed before the fix. Production E2E deadlines remain
unchanged.
- Historical native failures remain recorded: Docker availability
failures; a valid reject/correct/accept sequence that the first-card
grader misread; and a test that rejected the gap between accepted child
review and parent wake projection. No failed result was regraded. The
latest tests use a protected reference to the pinned Docker image and
the unchanged artifact oracle and time limits.
- Full repository verification runs in GitHub CI. Local verification
uses the focused suites above, full build, and full typecheck. An
unchanged Codex shutdown timing test failed once in CI, passed in
isolation, and its full shard passed on the final commit without changes
to that test or its causal code path. The original failure is retained
in the verification record. Greptile reviewed `b31ad9ab8` at 5/5 with no
outstanding actionable findings. All review threads are resolved. All
current-head CI gates passed, including the isolated native runner
Docker build (55 successful checks; two skipped by the workflow).

## Risks

- Reviewer admission depends on exact persisted decision and interaction
bindings. A stale or changed card is rejected.
- Paperclip control-plane tools are limited to inspection and review
resolution. This is not a filesystem permission boundary; provider file
and shell access retain the configured policy.
- Deferred wake recovery changes dispatch receipt coalescing. A
scheduler regression could delay a continuation if the receipt state is
wrong.
- Parent review outcomes are evidence for the model. They do not grant
tool authority or change issue ownership.
- This change does not address legacy lease-hold handoff behavior.

> Roadmap review: native execution, review gates, and durable recovery
are existing roadmap capabilities. This PR completes a narrow
reliability path for those capabilities.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6-astra` with reasoning, tool use, and code execution.
OpenAI `gpt-5.6-luna` assisted with bounded implementation, review, and
journal work. Context window size is not exposed by this session. Live
test subjects use `gpt-5.6-sol` and `claude-sonnet-5`; they are not the
PR authors.

DottaandPaperclip d0b67bfe71 feat: queue approvals and answers during active runs (#13539)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Users guide running agents through messages, questions, and approval
cards.
> - Messages already wait in a queue when an agent is running.
> - Card responses did not appear in that queue. Some question answers
also steered a later run without a user click.
> - A fast approval could invalidate the agent's review handoff and
cause it to stop its own run.
> - This pull request gives card responses the same queue controls and
preserves the exact response during delivery.
> - Users can wait for completion or explicitly send the response with
Interrupt or Steer.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13517, which is merged. This PR targets master and adds queued
interaction responses on top of the onboarding changes. Related
continuation work: #10519 and #12866.

**What happened?**

Accepting a proposal while its source run was active left a saved
response outside the message queue. The agent could then lose its review
path, reassign the task, and cancel itself. Answers to older questions
could also steer another active turn without a click.

**Expected behavior**

Save the response immediately. Queue its continuation behind the active
run. Deliver it after completion, or when the user explicitly chooses
Interrupt or Steer. Preserve approval revisions and answer choices.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Let an agent publish a confirmation card while its run is still
active.
2. Accept the card before the agent finishes its review handoff.
3. Inspect the message queue and the task's next run.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on da8a3876c with the onboarding changes from #13517.

**Deployment mode**

Local development from source. The fix covers legacy adapters and native
Runner turns.

## What Changed

- Project resolved cards into the existing queue as immutable responses.
Keep answers and exact approval revisions.
- Require an explicit click to steer a response into a compatible native
turn. Use Interrupt when a fresh session is required.
- Preserve typed response context through interruption, cleanup waits,
and normal queue promotion. Keep the direct answer channel for a
provider blocked on its original question request.
- Accept the source run's review handoff after its card resolves. Reject
stale agent reassignment that would orphan a queued response.
- Add deterministic regression tests and an `accept-while-running` case
to the first-task suite. Require recorded timestamp overlap before that
case can pass.
- Keep the first-task skill name out of user-facing messages.

## Verification

- Red-green: the original route failed the queue regression; the changed
route passes it.
- Focused server/UI tests: 139 passed, including 64 queue-route tests.
- Runner harness unit tests: 314 passed.
- Server, UI, and Runner E2E typechecks passed. UI token gates passed.
- Full repository typecheck and build passed. Server typecheck passed
again after review fixes.
- Review regressions: 165 queue/reopen route tests, 53 wake admission
tests, and 18 run identity tests passed. Approval acknowledgement
recovery and both message/approval arrival orders are covered.
- Full local test run: 12,401 passed; three new admission regressions
ran against a cached pre-fix module. A fresh run of that entire suite
passed (53 tests). The complete CI suite passed on the final commit.
- Previous-head CI at `c28e2ef12`: 32 checks passed and 2 optional
Storybook checks skipped. Every server/workspace/browser shard, Runner
verification, build, typecheck/release registry, canary, policy, and
security check passed. Greptile: 5/5, no unresolved threads. Earlier
interrupted CI workers were replaced by this fresh complete run.
- After integrating the updated parent: 314 harness tests, 119
queue/admission tests, 44 onboarding/question-delivery tests, and 13
native recovery tests passed locally. Full repository typecheck and
build passed.
- Clarified the skill wording preference: routine replies describe the
action without announcing the internal skill; direct questions and
permission/security/execution disclosures remain truthful.
- The paid `accept-while-running` scenario is registered for all four
local first-task profiles. It has not been run against a model in this
change.

- Rebased onto the merged parent at `11921075a`; the resulting tree
exactly matches the locally verified integration tree. Final-head CI on
`b53054807` passed: 54 successful checks, 2 optional Storybook checks
skipped, no failed checks. Every new server/browser shard, aggregate
verify/e2e gate, Runner, typecheck, build, canary, and security check
passed on the first attempt. Greptile reviewed this exact head at 5/5
with no unresolved threads.

## Risks

- Responses now wait instead of implicitly steering another active turn.
A provider blocked on the original question still receives its answer
directly.
- Approval receipts cannot be edited, discarded, or reordered as
comments. This preserves the recorded decision.
- Interruption must still prove that the prior execution stopped. The
tests cover cleanup waits and duplicate delivery.
- The new paid overlap case can be unexercised if the model finishes
before the click lands. It cannot pass without evidence of overlap.
- No database migration is required. This repairs the existing approvals
and execution controls; it does not implement the roadmap's work-stream
queues.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The exact deployed model ID and
context-window size were not exposed in this session. Capabilities used:
agentic reasoning, repository inspection, code editing, terminal
commands, and test execution.

cceeb0aa66 test(runner): add everyday workflow evaluation harness (#13474)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner must support project work, delegation, hiring, and
service access.
> - Browser tests exposed lost connection access, rejected helper
events, and stalled recovery.
> - Some eval failures also came from incorrect fixtures and decision
controls.
> - This pull request fixes those paths and adds eight everyday workflow
stories.
> - The tests retain observed failures and verify delivered files
independently.
> - The benefit is repeatable evidence for common user tasks and their
remaining gaps.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related work: #13404 contains earlier workflow fixes. #13300 and #13470
changed the CI contracts used by the harness security tests. Merged
companion:
[paperclip-evals#22](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/pull/22).

**What happened?**

Native ACPX sessions did not receive the assigned connection gateway.
Codex helper events could arrive before their spawn receipt and fail
thread validation. A parent continuation could take a shared workspace
before its child retried. A failed native continuation could leave the
task status without a clear recovery blocker. The eval harness also
confused tool approvals with new connection requests and could reject a
valid delegated download.

**Expected behavior**

Keep assigned gateway access and its approval checks. Verify helper
lineage before accepting helper progress. Let a waiting child proceed
before automatic parent recovery. Preserve a failed task's recovery
ownership. Grade the actual requested workflow and its delivered files.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the everyday workflow suite with the native Codex and Claude
profiles. Exercise service approval, connection refusal, delegated
project work, and teammate reuse. The commands and case requirements are
in `tests/runner-e2e/EVERYDAY-WORKFLOWS.md`. Use `pnpm
test:runner-recovery` for controlled crash and replacement cases.

## What Changed

- Pass the scoped connection gateway binding through the native ACPX
host and sidecar.
- Recognize Codex helper lineage from parent metadata and spawn
receipts. Verify early helper events with `thread/read`. Keep helper
events separate from root completion authority.
- Guide agents to use persistent hiring, child tasks, dependency
records, and a blocked handoff while waiting for a child.
- Defer automatic parent recovery while a child has an active execution
path in the same shared workspace. Allow parent recovery when the child
needs review.
- Record Blocked status and recovery evidence when a failed native
continuation needs reconciliation, including existing active or
escalated incidents. Preserve their owner and retry budget.
- Add eight browser-driven workflow cases. Use real decision controls,
explicit child feedback delivery, managed hiring credentials, and
independent ZIP checks inside a bounded Docker sandbox. Verify sandbox
availability before task creation. Record screenshot SHA-256 at capture.
- Keep runner crash probes in controlled recovery tests. Preserve the
original failure when cleanup also fails.
- Display missing accounting and replay revisions as unavailable. Align
harness security assertions with the approved CI changes.
- Make the channel-rejection browser fixture bind its file after the
send captures its payload. This prevents live refresh from removing the
file before the simulated race.

## Verification

- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` passed after merging current
master.
- Runner E2E typecheck passed. Harness unit tests passed: 216/216.
- Wake-queue database tests passed: 55/55. The two added
existing-incident tests failed before the fix and pass after it.
- Docker artifact calibration passed: 12/12. Host-file and host-loopback
isolation tests failed before the fix and pass after it. Read-only
delivery and output limits are also verified.
- Full `pnpm build` passed. Targeted recovery tests passed: 83/83.
- The channel-rejection browser test passed five consecutive runs after
fixing the fixture race found in CI.
- Local general-server (12,351 tests), UI (6,250), CLI (485), and
workspace package groups passed. The monolithic run stopped at an
unchanged lock-heartbeat fixture race; the isolated workspace group
passed on rerun (shared: 747/747). A separate local serialized run
passed 97 files before two socket errors in the unchanged issue-list
route suite; that suite passed 15/15 on isolated rerun. These local full
commands did not finish uninterrupted; the complete CI matrix below
covers the remaining suites.
- Final head `0fb293733fe307be7e6667ae8f1364077d0c6455`: **34 successful
checks, 2 expected skips**, including every server/workspace shard,
browser shard, native runner verification, build, and typecheck. [Final
CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34989136700).
- Greptile reviewed this exact head at **5/5**; all review threads are
resolved. Both Superagent security checks are successful.
- ACPX credential-boundary tests passed: 118/118. Superagent accepted
the runner/sidecar versus provider-environment trace and cleared its
finding.
- The latest paid local campaign on source
`f6a2fdf7ac2af859826a2ae627ff4125a5478529` passed 22/24 cases: Sol 8/8,
Claude 7/8, Mini 7/8. These results predate the merge with current
master.
- The two remaining failures are in `hire-reuse`: Claude exceeded the
attempt deadline during final review; Mini made invalid deliverable tool
calls and remained Blocked.
- Six Daytona cases were not run because the matching immutable runner
image was unavailable. This PR does not claim new remote model results.

## Risks

The changes affect connection admission, helper identity, and recovery
scheduling. Assigned gateway grants and user approval still govern
service calls. The workspace admission gate still exists; the broader
folder-sync design is separate work. Provider behavior can still cause
the two recorded hiring failures. No database migration is required.
Paid cases are opt-in and have bounded attempt deadlines. Project
stories now require Docker and the documented pinned Python image on the
harness host.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6-astra` performed implementation, diagnosis, and
substantive review. OpenAI `gpt-5.6-luna` assisted with verification, PR
preparation, and review tracking. Both used repository tools and code
execution. Context-window sizes were not recorded.

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.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, model `gpt-6-astra`, with repository search, code editing,
shell execution, and test tools. The session does not expose its
context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip f912ecaacf fix: carry AI connections through hiring and unblock task execution (#13438)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents hire other agents and assign tasks to them.
> - Managed AI connections must follow those hires across legacy and
native runners.
> - Missing accounts should pause task execution and let the user
connect from the task.
> - Subscription contention must wait without asking for new
credentials.
> - This pull request fixes these paths and the native tool and Daytona
staging failures found during live tests.
> - The result is a working hire, subtask, and connection setup flow on
local and remote runners.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A managed Claude or Codex agent could hire a teammate without a usable
AI binding. Cross-provider hiring could fail before the user had a
chance to connect the new provider. First-time task setup did not show
the existing AI credential form inline. A busy subscription could
request a new connection. Native API replies could stop the parent after
a hire had already committed. Fresh Daytona sandboxes could fail to
extract read-only skill directories created on macOS.

**Expected behavior**

Compatible hires inherit the managed connection choice. A hire for
another provider uses the responsible user's default. If that account is
missing, the hire succeeds and the task asks for a connection.
Completing setup in the task resumes work automatically. Explicit child
auth settings and existing unmanaged login paths keep precedence.
Shared-account access checks remain in force.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Connect a Claude or Codex parent with a managed AI account.
2. Ask it to hire one agent of each provider and create a self-assigned
subtask.
3. Assign work to both hires without connecting the second provider
first.
4. Connect the missing provider from its task card.
5. Check that all tasks finish and same-provider work uses the original
account.
6. Repeat with native runners and fresh Daytona sandboxes. The opt-in
browser suite in `tests/hiring-ai-connections/README.md` performs these
steps.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The live failures were reproduced from `f2c5e54dc`. The branch is
rebased onto `5282cabde`.

**Deployment mode**

Isolated local development instance. Legacy CLI and native runners.
Local execution and ephemeral Daytona sandboxes.

Related work: Refs #13247 for managed AI connections. Refs #13268 for
legacy credential-reference inheritance, which this branch preserves.
Refs #13432 for a concurrent managed-inheritance fix. This PR also
covers cross-provider task setup, subscription waits, native API
replies, and Daytona extraction. It permits missing responsible-user
defaults at hire time; restricted shared selections still fail.

## What Changed

- Apply managed connection defaults to both agent creation routes.
Preserve explicit auth choices and legacy credential-reference
inheritance.
- Allow hires before their responsible user connects the provider. Keep
approval gates, company boundaries, and shared-account access checks.
- Reuse the production AI credential form inside the pending task card.
Resume the task after setup.
- Retry subscription lease contention without consuming the
provider-failure allowance or creating a connection request.
- Require task execution-lock ownership when scheduling, promoting, and
dispatching subscription retries. Recheck ownership under the issue row
lock.
- Rename the HTTP operation identity at the native tool boundary so it
cannot override the runner's operation identity.
- Delay directory permission restoration during Daytona extraction.
Preserve the final read-only modes.
- Add database-backed regressions, real browser acceptance tests, and
Storybook states. Document setup and run-log behavior.

## Verification

- Six real browser scenarios passed: both parent providers on legacy
local and legacy Daytona; native Codex locally; native Claude on
Daytona. Each scenario hires both providers, completes a self-subtask
and assigned work, and connects the missing provider inline with
automatic continuation.
- Successful runs verify the account, responsible user, runner mode, and
Daytona lease. All 18 test sandboxes were deleted.
- Live authentication used API keys. Subscription inheritance, lease
contention, and retry have integration coverage. Fresh subscription
OAuth sign-in was not automated.
- Red/green tests reproduced missing bindings, missing inline forms,
subscription contention, native API reply failure, and GNU tar
permission failure.
- Seven Storybook browser checks passed. They cover both providers,
method selection, narrow layout, completion, cancellation, and invalid
credentials.
- Full local suite coverage completed before rebase. Initial timing and
fixture startup failures passed unchanged on isolated reruns. The first
full command did not exit cleanly; the remaining workspace and
serialized groups were completed separately.
- After rebase, 107 hiring/auth/retry tests and 59 native API,
task-card, and Daytona tests passed. The full workspace typecheck,
production build, and token gates passed again. Storybook build passed
before rebase.

- Review fixes: 169 hiring/retry/dispatch tests, 37 adjacent tests, and
four explicit cancellation-race cases passed. Eight cross-provider cases
cover stale auth keys on both creation routes and both runner types.
Server typecheck and build passed.

- Final CI on `ee4890837a8a4913e07453392b9a75969580dae1`: 32 checks
passed. Two optional Storybook jobs were skipped. The full server,
workspace, browser, native runner, build, typecheck, and release checks
passed.
- Three unchanged tests initially failed on a busy port, a chat row-lock
race, and preview-server readiness. Each affected job passed after one
CI rerun. Isolated local checks also passed: 41 credential tests, the
chat-concurrency case, and 25 preview-runtime tests.
- Greptile reviewed the final commit at 5/5. Both review threads are
resolved. GitHub reports no merge conflicts.

## Risks

- A missing personal account now defers authentication to the first
task. Explicit incompatible bindings and restricted shared accounts
still fail at hire time.
- An inherited personal default uses the responsible user's existing
authorization to install access for the new agent. It never copies
credentials or another user's identity.
- Subscription contention retries after a delay and rechecks task
eligibility. It does not consume the provider-failure budget.
- Native hiring uses the existing managed API-tools opt-in. Remote
native runners require a matching Linux binary and provider pack, as
documented in the acceptance README.
- No schema changes. Live tests make paid provider calls and remain
opt-in.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (`gpt-6-astra`) in Codex, with reasoning, repository
inspection, code execution, browser automation, and API tools. The
context-window size is not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip f1d57863d2 fix: make connection checks and task handoffs reliable (#13404)
Preserve connection-probe outcomes through cleanup, reduce unrelated startup work, and report selected Claude authentication accurately. Make artifact download actions match their labels.

Route delegated feedback through its active child, retain accepted messages across completion, and avoid redundant worker runs for proven closing notes. Preserve explicit follow-ups, human input, company boundaries, source provenance, and mixed issue references.

DottaandPaperclip f2c5e54dca fix(runner): preserve handoff work and publish requested files (#13355)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and their tasks.
> - A task keeps its instructions, progress, and files when its assigned
agent changes.
> - The replacement runner lost the interrupted run's context and could
overwrite an existing draft.
> - A saved message also stayed attached to the former agent and could
reopen the task after the replacement finished.
> - File tasks could report Done with only a local path that the user
could not open.
> - This pull request transfers handoff context and saved messages, and
makes requested files accessible through the existing attachment
contract.
> - Users can change agents and collect completed work without repeating
instructions or confirming bookkeeping.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13338. Builds on merged #13354 for queue admission and #13353 for
remote workspace retry. #10123 concerns restricted recovery-model
escalation; this change instead covers ordinary native handoff and file
completion.

**What happened?**

Codex wrote a draft before a user assigned the task to Claude. The
replacement lacked continuation context and replaced the draft. A queued
user message could later restart the former agent and reopen the
completed task. Separately, a runner could finish a requested file but
return only a machine-local path. Remote native runs had no bound file
publication tool.

**Expected behavior**

The replacement reads and preserves existing work, receives saved
messages once, and keeps each message's author. The former agent stays
stopped. A requested file has a working attachment or accessible work
product before Done. Text-only tasks do not require attachments.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Ask Codex to save three newsletter names and then wait.
2. Queue an instruction to keep those names and expand the draft.
3. Use Interrupt and assign to select Claude.
4. Verify the original names survive, the result has a working download,
and only the source and replacement runs exist.
5. Ask either provider for a Markdown checklist and open the file from
its completed response.

## What Changed

- Carry the exact same-task interrupted run's summary, semantic
receipts, and history into handoff context. Tell the replacement to
inspect existing files before editing.
- Adopt saved ordinary task comments into the successor's receipt under
the task lock. Preserve authors and separate mention, chat, and
interaction contracts.
- Prevent a former-assignee comment wake from reopening a completed task
or starting a stale execution.
- Reject workspace-only, fabricated, and cross-task file completion
references with actionable runner feedback. New file output also needs a
matching current-run publication receipt and asset filename/size/hash,
or an accessible work product registered by the current run. Prior
output can remain context alongside a current file, or be verified and
re-registered internally. Authorized chat attachment reuse retains its
verified current-run clone receipt; older receipt shapes require an
intact matching source.
- Bind remote file reads to the active environment runner and reuse the
existing attachment and work-product publication path.
- Enforce workspace confinement, regular single-link files, stable
identity, a 10 MiB limit, and exact size and SHA-256 checks. Rotate the
native session fingerprint for the updated tool contract.
- Contain rejected remote signals and protocol-failure cleanup,
including logging failures. Preserve the original cleanup rejection for
its owner; a rejected operation never supplies stop acknowledgement or
cleanup proof.
- Allow exactly one maximum-size base64 file through the native SSH
command adapter, preserving a finite output cap.
- Document handoff and accessible file completion rules.

## Verification

- Each observed bug has a failing regression before its fix. Final
post-rebase integration passed 732 tests across 13 files before the
final receipt and signal guards; final affected results are below.
- Publication provenance and compatibility: 8 provenance regressions and
2 compatibility regressions failed before their fixes; the final four
affected suites pass 53 tests, including mixed old/new references and
real authorized chat reuse. Controls cover old attachments and work
products, filename/size/hash/origin mismatch, missing/wrong receipts,
current-run publication, same-run durable proof, internally
re-registering preserved bytes, and no-new-file follow-ups.
- Remote signal rejection: the real Node subprocess previously exited 1
when the production launcher signalled a deleted sandbox. It now stays
alive for both a failed signal and failed logging; all 349 executor
tests pass. The failed signal still provides no termination proof.
- Remote file reader and SSH command boundary: 33 tests passed,
including real Linux descriptor reads and the actual SSH adapter
subprocess output cap (network executable replaced by a deterministic
fixture). Exact 10 MiB bytes pass, one byte beyond the encoded cap
fails.
- Live local Claude and Codex Stop journeys preserve the saved file,
deliver queued instructions once, and reach Done with two total runs.
The handoff journey preserves the original names and download with
exactly two runs. Both local providers deliver exact checklist files
without a completion confirmation.
- Live combined Daytona verification passed: the original failed task's
Retry reused its sandbox; a selected Git subfolder produced an exact
downloadable file; warm and deliberately resumed Claude runs took about
33 seconds. Codex produced a 240-byte download in 33.1 seconds after 134
seconds of contention/backoff. Both cloud downloads retained exact bytes
after the two owned sandboxes were deleted.
- The sandbox-deletion retest identified a separate ignored promise in
protocol-failure cleanup. Two real Node subprocess regressions failed
under fatal unhandled-rejection policy before the fix; all 36 protocol,
lifecycle, and integrity tests now pass. The original close promise
still rejects to its owning runtime. The final live retest passed: a
normal Claude Daytona task completed in 132.352 seconds, then its
sandbox was deleted. Thirteen samples over 361 seconds confirmed the
same controller stayed healthy, the task stayed Done with unchanged run
IDs, and its attachment retained exact bytes. The post-deletion browser
download passed with zero page errors; all five owned sandboxes are
confirmed absent.
- Full repository typecheck and build passed on final commit
`de64d16f1`. Final-head Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved threads.
[Final-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34736623758)
passed: 32 successful checks and two conditional skips. The earlier
mixed-source full local test invocation was deliberately stopped before
rebase, so no pristine green full local aggregate is claimed. Its known
failures passed in later affected suites.

## Risks

- Handoff may adopt only ordinary comments from its validated former
owner. Other delivery contracts must remain independent.
- File verification fails closed if a remote file changes during
reading. The runner must retry publication or explain a blocker.
- The updated session fingerprint starts a fresh provider process where
needed to install the new tool contract.
- No schema migration or historical status reconciliation is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6-astra` through Codex, with reasoning, code execution,
browser testing, and tool use. The context-window size is not exposed in
this task.

DottaandPaperclip 422287eecd fix: preserve runner recovery, warm sessions, and task outcomes (#13338)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner connects task messages, provider execution, and
task outcomes.
> - First-time user tests exposed gaps in recovery, completion
permissions, message delivery, and Stop behavior.
> - These gaps left usable output hidden, completed work waiting for
bookkeeping, or safe work unable to continue.
> - This pull request fixes the shared lifecycle and receipt paths while
preserving process ownership and action checks.
> - Users can continue work with accurate task state and durable
messages.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A stopped local Codex execution could remain blocked even after its
processes had stopped and its complete transcript proved that no
external action needed replay. Claude under Conservative permissions
could fail to call task completion tools. Recovery could reuse an
assistant item ID and overwrite prior output. A delivered comment could
remain marked uncertain after navigation. Stop could look like Pause or
a new recovery incident. Workspace contention could look like
cancellation. A direct reply reopening Done could enter a clarification
loop.

**Expected behavior**

Recover automatically only with verified termination and complete action
receipts. Preserve answers and messages. Keep task completion available
under Conservative permissions without broad tool access. Show crashes
as Blocked, actual human decisions as In Review, and ordinary workspace
contention as waiting. Stop the current response and allow a new
direction.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create ordinary response tasks with local Codex and Claude Code, then
send follow-up messages through the task composer.
2. Interrupt a disposable local Codex runner during text-only work.
Verify automatic continuation and retained output.
3. Stop a response, send a new request, answer a clarification, and
reopen completed work with another message.
4. Navigate or reload while a comment submission is pending. Confirm the
exact persisted request receipt settles it without removing newer draft
text.
5. Run two tasks in a shared Daytona workspace. Confirm waiting does not
appear as failure.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Initial acceptance baseline: `c9021c6721f91e2c74bd9fee9d3fd41c999d17b7`.
Current integration base: `6cef9743c`. Both operator-interruption and
workspace-waiting guards are preserved; native restart and legacy
permission rules remain documented.

**Deployment mode**

An isolated source-built test-drive instance, with real local Codex and
Claude Code providers and disposable Daytona environments.

Related work: #13314, #13316, #13327, #13344, #13239, #13254, #13163.
This PR addresses additional failures from ordinary task journeys,
including controller restart handoff and repeated warm sandbox setup.
Historical task status reconciliation is excluded.

## What Changed

- Persist runner ownership immediately at spawn and resume an explicitly
adopted runner even when the controller crashed before the first driver
checkpoint. Detach the controller safely across graceful restarts,
including session startup. Prevent an old finalizer from suspending or
signaling an adopted runner. Checkpoint idle warm sessions before
shutdown. Preserve the same run and queued follow-up messages.
- Scope saved legacy queue successor checks to the queue owner while
preserving ordinary task locks, operator identity, assignment gates, and
exactly-once delivery.
- Preserve managed Codex credential files when an old session is
detached for restart; normal owned cleanup still copies refreshed auth
back and removes the scoped copy.
- Reuse the bound warm shared sandbox and fully verify an existing
staged provider pack before using it. This avoids repeated uploads when
the pack is already valid.
- Add a narrow local Codex replacement path with stopped-process proof,
a closed transcript inventory, exact completion receipts, and
fresh-session lineage. Preserve no-replay holds when evidence is
incomplete. Recovery may clear only the same run's recorded Blocked
status version; manual re-blocking and dependency changes invalidate
that receipt, while queued comments do not. Later blocks stop scheduled,
queued, and final dispatch; queued/final checks re-read dependencies
even when the task status stays In Progress.
- Permit only task delivery and human-input tools through the isolated
Claude runner's exact task bridge.
- Scope assistant item identity to the provider turn and ignore only
authority-free Codex skill-change notifications during startup.
- Reconcile composer submissions by client request ID across response
loss, navigation, and reload. Retain text typed during delivery.
- Keep acknowledged run-only Stop neutral and show workspace contention
as waiting. Project exhausted native failures as Blocked.
- Restore the guarded task-page retry action for failed legacy runs,
including the server-supported explicit new-attempt path for stopped
conversation adapters. Preserve native/process recovery holds and avoid
promising Retry while a decision or execution gate hides it.
- Refresh delivered artifacts and handle direct user replies that reopen
completed work without a clarification loop.
- Check the embedded PostgreSQL PID, data directory, and actual port
before connecting or migrating.
- Document accepted behavior and add focused regressions at lifecycle,
route, transcript, and UI boundaries.

## Verification

- Final head `fece606ac2` passes the complete GitHub CI matrix: **34
green checks, two expected Storybook skips, no failures or pending
checks**, including `ci / verify`, `ci / e2e`, full runner verification,
typecheck, build, every server/workspace shard, and all browser shards.
[CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34727183287).
Greptile is **5/5 with no open findings**. The final two commits only
refine test fixtures; both affected suites pass 24/24 locally and in CI,
with server typecheck green.
- Complete local Vitest coverage uses the canonical groups/shards: all
635 general server suites, all 145 serialized suites, and all workspace
packages. The aggregate began on `0a8001c18` while the final queue fix
arrived: 23,903 passed, five failed, 87 skipped. The five
port/socket/timing failures passed unchanged in follow-ups (60 tests in
the exposure/file suites and 412 tests covering the serialized failures
and unrun tails). The final queue/operator-identity suites separately
passed 52/52. This is aggregate coverage plus explicit reruns, not a
pristine single-command final-head run.
- After integration with current master,
queue/operator-identity/continuation suites passed 162/162 and affected
UI suites passed 140/140. ACP Stop/continuation and legacy
task/Inbox/message browser suites passed 9/9, including both task
recovery Retry and thread Try again, automatic saved-message delivery,
exactly one new run, Done, and retained output after reload. The default
process Stop/Pause/Resume browser case passed (the native-provider case
is opt-in and skipped by default). The complete Board attachment/receipt
browser suite passed 11/11 on a disposable instance, covering both
composers, exact receipts after lost responses, no replay, bound
attachments, and newer drafts after reload.
- Blocking-intent regressions cover pre-existing Blocked, a mismatched
run/cause, an explicit manual re-block, changed dependencies, a queued
comment after failure, and a block arriving between scheduling and
provider dispatch. The negative cases reproduced before the fix. All 478
affected executor/recovery/dispatch tests passed; both database suites
ran separately after availability-probe skips in the first combined
command. The final late-dependency check passed all 143 affected
recovery/dispatch tests (zero skips) after two new negative cases
reproduced the bug.
- Focused runtime regressions cover awaited runner ownership
publication, authenticated adoption before the first checkpoint,
old-finalizer detachment, idle and busy warm-session shutdown, rejected
checkpoint propagation, provider-pack verification, and managed-Codex
credential preservation. Four managed credential detachment cases
reproduced the bug before the fix; normal owned cleanup still succeeds
exactly once.
- Live local Claude: SIGKILL 2.6 seconds into startup recovered the same
run automatically in 53 seconds, then a normal follow-up completed in 24
seconds. SIGTERM 2.5 seconds into startup preserved the same run (54
seconds) and its queued follow-up (21 seconds). Answers remained visible
and the task reached Done.
- Live Claude Daytona: a warm follow-up retained its sandbox and fell
from 121 seconds to 44 seconds. A separate cold turn took 127 seconds;
after controller shutdown and checkpointing, its follow-up completed in
33 seconds with the same sandbox, workspace, native session, and runner.
Both answers remained visible and the task was Done.
- Other live journeys covered task completion and follow-up with local
and Daytona Codex, local Codex crash recovery, Stop then new direction,
clarification response, live artifact refresh, and shared-workspace
waiting.
- Validation limits: the opt-in native composer Stop/Pause→subtree
Resume fixture exposes terminal/result ordering and subtree-cancellation
attribution bugs that can leave a child task blocked; that new finding
is assigned to a separate follow-up and is not claimed fixed here.
Default CI skips this optional native-provider fixture. Managed-Codex
credential handoff and the queue-agent integration use automated
regression evidence. Cold custom provider-pack uploads still add startup
latency.

## Risks

- Automatic replacement remains deliberately narrow: local Codex,
verified stopped identities, unchanged retained state, and a complete
text/completion-only turn. Unknown actions, partial history, or changed
ownership remain blocked.
- Claude completion permission handling changes an upstream package
patch. The exact isolated task bridge must remain pinned; unrelated
tools keep their existing permissions.
- New task failure projection changes user-visible status. No historical
status backfill or database migration is included.
- This is a broad lifecycle fix across server and UI. Live proof covers
graceful local Claude restart during startup and idle Claude Daytona
session recovery across controller shutdown. Live abrupt SIGKILL during
local Claude startup also recovered the same run. Unknown ownership or
missing action evidence still blocks reuse. Cold custom provider-pack
uploads still add startup latency; this change avoids unnecessary repeat
uploads.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex), with reasoning, code execution, browser
automation, and tool use. The exact hosted model ID and context window

DottaandPaperclip df984cbc2c fix: dispatch queued legacy messages with operator identity and task permissions (#13315)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task conversations save messages that arrive during an active turn.
> - Legacy adapters deliver these messages in a later turn.
> - A run can stop before the saved queue is delivered.
> - The Interrupt button previously required an active run, so it could
not release this queue.
> - This pull request lets a board operator send the saved queue after
the run stops and retries queues missed during finalization.
> - Manual dispatch must use the clicking operator and must not require
permission to create agents.
> - The task can continue without a duplicate message or a second
execution owner.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A legacy task retained a queued message after its run stopped. Interrupt
was disabled because the queue had no active target. Finalization and
deferred message admission can also leave a queue without a successor.

**Expected behavior**

Interrupt sends the saved messages when no runner is active. Messages
that arrive during normal completion are delivered automatically. An
uncertain previous execution still requires proof that its process or
sandbox stopped.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Queue a user message during a legacy conversation turn.
2. Let the turn stop or simulate a server restart before queue
promotion.
3. Open the task with a deferred queue and no active run.
4. Try Interrupt. Before this change, the button is disabled.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against `8f40b4ad4`.

**Deployment mode**

Legacy conversation adapter. The same persisted queue state is covered
with an isolated PostgreSQL fixture.

Related public work: #13275 adds active legacy interruption. #13291
addresses automatic sandbox conversation recovery. This change handles
explicit saved-queue delivery and late queue promotion.

## What Changed

- Accept a null Interrupt target while retaining queue identity,
revision, company, and assignee checks.
- Save the operator's request on the existing queue. Reuse normal
admission after verified stop, including older messages, different
authors, and queues whose original wake came from the system.
- Strip interruption authority from caller-supplied wake payloads. Only
the board queue route can persist that authority.
- Retry durable interruption requests after restart and deferred queues
after legacy cleanup.
- Let an explicit Interrupt retry cleanup for its stopped run, including
old ephemeral leases that recorded success without a provider stop
receipt. Preserve retained resources, other lease owners, and the
automatic retry limit.
- Preserve the server's waiting explanation when normalizing and
combining queue entries.
- Revalidate the consumed board queue receipt at dispatch so a different
message author does not cause setup failure.
- Use the Interrupt user's execution identity for the new run. Preserve
original message authors. Validate the receipt independently at startup
and inherit the resulting identity on retry.
- Persist authenticated board authority for ordinary manual wakes too.
Adopting someone else's queued messages cannot switch a manual run to
that author's permissions. Strip caller-supplied authority markers and
retain private conversation ownership checks.
- Keep the clicking user when a manual wake is merged into an older
deferred receipt. Update its requester and payload in the same
transaction.
- Use the same current-queue/revision API on task details and pipeline
conversations; show Interrupt after a legacy target stops.
- Keep manual wakes out of active runs, including unscoped agent wakes.
They receive their own execution identity; a matching receipt requester
is not sufficient because an exact retry can retain a different
originating identity.
- Authorize both existing-agent wake endpoints with `agent:wake`,
available to active non-viewer company members. Keep `agents:create` for
hiring. Validate the stored task and current assignee before an exact
task retry.
- Reject viewer Interrupt requests before saving intent or stopping
execution. Keep external chat retry authorization and per-action
agent/user permission checks.
- Preserve edits and discards until dispatch. Prevent another queue
promotion when the same agent already has a successor. Keep independent
reviewer recovery available.
- Suppress cancelled/failed run toasts for intentional operator
interruption. Keep ordinary runtime error notices.
- Add UI, route, admission, restart, successor ownership, and toast
regression tests. Document the behavior.
- Reuse the existing socket reservation helper for both
credential-quorum test cases after CI exposed an ambient-port collision.
This changes test preparation only; production credential staging is
still called exactly once.

## Verification

- Failing regression tests reproduced the message-author identity bug
and an operator's `agents:create` rejection before the fixes.
- All 316 focused tests pass across eight route, queue, identity,
authorization, continuation, and responsible-user suites, including the
44-test rerun of queue admission and actual startup after the final
manual-wake restriction. Regressions reproduce cross-user merging both
with and without a task, and same-requester receipt ambiguity. The
cross-company existence guard also passes both tests.
- Startup integration tests reach adapter execution under the clicking
operator and retain that identity through follow-up. Coverage includes
mixed authors, adopted queues, system-origin queues, restarts, forged or
stale receipts, viewers, suspended memberships, changed assignees,
private conversations, and caller-supplied authority markers.
- The earlier queue/cleanup/UI regression suite passed 402 tests. The
final review corrections pass another 180 tests across queue
admission/persistence, real heartbeat startup, UI API, conversation
rendering, and pipeline suites. Regression tests reproduced both review
findings before correction. The final head has a 5/5 review with no
unresolved threads. Full CI passes on `c2002979c`, including every
general and serialized server shard, all browser shards, Paperclip
Runner verification, typecheck, build, canary dry run, and the aggregate
gates.
- Full `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and UI token gates pass after
the final application changes. CI identified an outdated task-page API
mock after the shared helper extraction; the fixture now exercises the
real helper, and all 131 task-page/API tests pass. The final application
build passes with the additional manual-wake restriction.
- CI exposed a pre-existing port collision in the Codex
credential-quorum fixture. It reproduced locally; both listener cases
now use the existing bounded reservation helper. All 41 credential tests
pass on rerun. One intervening local run hit a separate ambient bind
collision in the two-occupied-port case.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` attempt was stopped after host
contention caused focused-suite timeouts. The affected focused tests
passed on rerun. An expiring trace fixture and a missing
private-conversation state were corrected. The successful full CI run is
the complete-suite verification.
- Hosted Interrupt previously cleared the original queue and produced
exactly one successor with neutral interruption feedback. It exposed the
dispatch authorization defect. Retry on that earlier build was rejected
for missing `agents:create` before creating another run.
- Deployed the final application build (`38257f391`) to the scoped
hosted instance and verified readiness. The latest PR commit changes
only the credential test fixture; application code matches that
deployment. A live Retry by the same operator without `agents:create`
created one successor attributed to that operator, passing the former
dispatch permission gate. Startup then stopped at
`configuration_incomplete` because that operator has not configured
their required personal Claude Code OAuth secret; the post-deployment
run page confirms the operator identity and no provider work started,
and the My secrets UI still shows the token as not set. Provider
execution remains unverified pending that credential. No permission
grants or credentials were changed.

## Risks

Queue admission and finalization can race. The task lock, durable queue
receipt, current comment IDs, and successor guard prevent duplicate
dispatch. Process and lease stop checks, task pauses, approvals,
ownership, and budgets remain in force. The API change only allows null
on legacy Interrupt; native steering still requires an active run. No
schema migration is required. Active non-viewer board members can now
invoke existing agents without agent-creation permission. Agent
self-invocation rules, raw provider-trace admin access, task retry
scope, external chat authorization, and action-specific user/agent
permissions remain enforced.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The session does not expose an exact backend
model ID or context-window size. Used reasoning, repository search, code
execution, tests, and browser tools.

DottaandPaperclip 24007a9804 fix: promote review tasks when continuations start (#13318)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The heartbeat service starts and tracks agent work on issues.
> - An issue can be in review before a user comment starts more agent
work.
> - The previous checkout rule did not claim an issue from review for
this continuation.
> - The issue could stay in review while an agent actively worked on it.
> - This pull request lets a resolved interaction continuation claim an
issue from review.
> - The existing checkout update then sets the issue to in progress.
> - The benefit is that issue status now shows active agent work
correctly.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An issue stayed in review when a new agent continuation started work on
it.

**Expected behavior**

The issue must move to in progress when an agent starts work. An idle
issue must stay in review.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Put an assigned issue in review.
2. Resolve an interaction that starts a continuation.
3. Start the heartbeat run.
4. Observe that the issue remains in review while the run works.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The problem reproduces on the master branch before this change.

## What Changed

- Allow a resolved interaction continuation to claim an assigned issue
from review.
- Keep idle review issues unchanged.
- Add regression tests for both behaviors.

## Verification

- Run `node_modules/.bin/vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-auto-checkout.test.ts`.
- Confirm that all four tests pass.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change only expands checkout eligibility for resolved
interaction continuations.
- The existing guarded checkout update still controls ownership and the
status update.

DottaandPaperclip ab15aff390 feat: add experimental persistent agent chat (#13284)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Conversations must use the same tasks, controls, and execution
history.
> - Users need an ongoing chat with an agent without managing task
properties.
> - Agents should clarify and plan work, then hand execution to assigned
project tasks.
> - This pull request combines the reviewed Agent Chat stack for one
squash merge.
> - The benefit is persistent conversation with normal task governance
and shared UI.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Task lifecycle, agent runtime tools, shared task UI, and browser/paid
runner tests.

**Problem or motivation**

Users need one persistent conversation with each agent. A separate chat
store or renderer would duplicate task behavior and bypass existing
controls.

**Proposed solution**

Use a task-backed chat per company, user, and agent. Reuse the task
composer and transcript. Clarify and plan in chat, then create assigned
project tasks with the relevant plan. Keep Agent Chat behind its own
disabled-by-default experimental setting.

**Roadmap alignment**

This implements the task-backed direction in [CEO
Chat](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/master/ROADMAP.md#-ceo-chat).
Related proposals: #2504 and #9693. Related request: #7981. The
maintainer requested one squash merge of the complete stack.

Consolidates the reviewed runtime
[#13281](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13281), backend
[#13282](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13282), and UI
[#13283](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13283) layers
with this PR's E2E coverage. All four layers passed CI and received
Greptile 5/5 before consolidation. This PR targets master and includes
the complete feature.

## What Changed

- Add personal canonical chat tasks with ordinary company visibility,
immutable identity, idempotent first sends, and an idle waiting state.
- Process `/new` in queue order. Preserve history, release a chat pause,
and fence old provider context and delayed writes.
- Keep chat lifecycle rules across recovery, finalization, assignment,
task lists, and rollups.
- Support research and plan revision in chat. Hand plans to ordinary
assigned project tasks before execution starts. Reject new chat
subtasks.
- Add repository-aware project creation and discovery tools, including
multiple repository IDs and GitHub URLs, authorization, idempotency, and
durable project-created cards.
- Reuse task UI components for chat, with starred/recent agent
navigation and a separate `enableAgentChat` experimental flag.
- Add deterministic browser tests and 24 paid chat cells across four
Codex/Claude profiles, with validated reports and screenshots.
- Integrate current master recovery, controller lease, queued-message,
and task UI changes. Gate chat interruption and deferred promotion on
ownership/feature policy. Guarantee lease renewal and active controls
are stopped even if teardown fails.
- Preserve master's migration 0273 and generate chat migration 0274 with
idempotent replay for development databases.

## Verification

- Prior exact heads of all four PRs passed Linux CI, including build,
typecheck, general/serialized tests, and browser E2E. Each had Greptile
5/5 and no unresolved findings.
- Integrated local verification passed: full repository typecheck and
production build, Storybook build, token gates, 340 focused UI tests,
all 20 deterministic chat browser tests, two migration replay tests, 88
focused chat/queue/native/controller tests, and provider/session
regressions including real lease expiry. These include the three
lifecycle regressions for the final admission/teardown fixes; server
typecheck also passes. Current head
`1268eda16cc2af892055917e7292f068820be135` has Greptile 5/5 with no
unresolved findings and passing security scans. All final-head CI gates
passed: build, full Runner verification, typecheck/release registry,
canary, all general/serialized test shards, and all browser E2E shards
([CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34696739927)).
Local PostgreSQL startup contention required serialized retries; skipped
fixtures do not count as passing coverage.
- The earlier paid campaign passed all 24 chat cells and retained 32
screenshots:
[report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-34648511170-1/index.html?report=agent-chat#suite-agent-chat).
It tested `abacbdfd2f660709ec37312cdb758284c8399d04`; it is prior
evidence, not a paid run of this integrated head.
- Manual check: enable Agent Chat in Experimental settings, open an
agent, clarify and revise a plan, then hand off to an assigned project
task. Stop a reply, send `/new`, and verify fresh context with retained
history. Disable the setting and verify agent shortcuts/new chat turns
are blocked.

## Risks

- Queue/session integration can affect retries and delayed writes. Tests
cover ownership, cancellation, reset boundaries, idle recovery, and
ordinary task behavior.
- Migration 0274 adds conversation fields and constraints. Replay is
idempotent and preserves existing development chat history.
- This combines the previously reviewed stack at the maintainer's
request. Agent Chat remains off by default and is separate from
Conference Room.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 Astra (`gpt-6-astra`), with reasoning, code
execution, browser tools, and parallel review. The exact context-window
size is not exposed in this session. Codex and Claude also ran as test
subjects in the linked paid campaign.

DottaandPaperclip f12b647ae8 fix: reliably interrupt and resume legacy message queues (#13275)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A task can collect more messages while its agent works.
> - Legacy runners must stop the active process before they can receive
those messages.
> - The old Interrupt action cancelled the run but could leave the queue
idle and hidden.
> - Codex could also classify a cancelled run as successful or start a
fresh process after cancellation.
> - This pull request joins cancellation, preserves the provider
session, and dispatches the current queue after cleanup.
> - The benefit is reliable interruption with the saved message order,
edits, and deletions.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Interrupt could strand a legacy message queue. The UI could hide pending
messages after the run stopped. A Codex signal exit could race the
cancellation write. A stale session warning could also trigger a fresh
process after an interrupted resume.

**Expected behavior**

Interrupt stops the active turn and sends the remaining messages once,
in their saved order. Deleted messages stay deleted. An interrupted
Codex turn keeps its session and does not restart itself.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Assign a task to a legacy Codex agent that runs a long command.
2. Queue three messages. Edit one, discard another, and move the last
message first.
3. Click Interrupt in the queue.
4. Repeat the interruption while the resumed session runs another
command.

Related work: Refs #13160, which moves native queue steering into the
wake-queue module. This change fixes legacy interruption and keeps
native steering unchanged.

## What Changed

- Add a revision-checked, company-scoped endpoint for legacy queue
interruption.
- Promote only the requested queue after the provider stops and releases
its lease. Retry its persisted interrupt intent from the scheduler after
a promotion error or server restart.
- Keep pending legacy queues visible after a run stops. Use server state
for the interrupt result.
- Serialize owned process cancellation before classifying the adapter
result. Preserve late session and log metadata. Acknowledge cancellation
only when an actual process or process group was owned; scheduler
placeholders retain their normal release policy.
- Send Ctrl-C to legacy Codex. Prevent missing-session fallback once the
session has started.
- Add cancellation race, multi-actor queue order, durable retry, resume
fallback, and stale request regression tests. Document the behavior.

## Verification

- Real browser tests passed with legacy Codex CLI and ACP engines, using
Codex 0.153.4 and gpt-5.6-sol.
- All three automated ACP browser scenarios passed locally: immediate
Interrupt delivery, no replay of an unfinished write, and pause
requiring Resume. Updated the old test expectation that required a
separate “go” after Interrupt.
- Browser tests covered queued edits, deletion, reordering, deleting the
final message, and repeated interruption.
- Two consecutive CLI interrupts kept one provider session. Both stopped
processes exited. The final message arrived once.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- All 346 post-review scheduling, recovery, queue-route,
archived-company, worktree-suppression, and stale-queue regression tests
passed.
- All 318 process-recovery and durable-chat tests passed after the final
cancellation guard.
- Codex adapter, queue UI, issue-page, and OpenAPI contract tests
passed.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- Full local suite coverage completed with
`PAPERCLIP_IN_WORKTREE=false`, using the stable runner and its CI
shards: 618 general server suites, all 145 serialized server suites, and
all workspace groups. Every failing suite passed a targeted rerun after
the fixes, rebuilding the native test fixture, correcting macOS
temporary-path setup, or retrying setup/timing failures. Existing skips
remain.
- The original monolithic run reported failures before the final fixes;
its failed suites were rerun rather than rerunning all 618 suites again.
The final process-recovery/durable-chat regression run passed all 318
tests.
- All CI checks passed for `e30eaf787f23a5511a3cb3cdb5abbccab9ed001d`:
[run 34654820774, attempt
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34654820774/attempts/2),
including typecheck, build, all test shards, E2E, and canary. The
signoff and Cursor sandbox tests each hit a timeout in the initial
attempt; both suites passed locally, and both failed shards passed their
single CI rerun. All three corrected ACP browser scenarios passed in CI.
- Greptile reviewed `e30eaf787f23a5511a3cb3cdb5abbccab9ed001d`: 5/5, no
open review threads.

## Risks

Cancellation order affects local adapters. The tests cover signal exits,
graceful exits, adapter exceptions, termination errors, and cancellation
write errors. Embedded adapters keep their cancellation controls.
Ordinary run cancellation and task pause keep their distinct queue
policies. No database migration is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, browser testing, and code
execution. The exact serving model ID and context-window size are not
exposed in this session. The live test runner used OpenAI gpt-5.6-sol.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 1c4bcff2b1 fix(test): await issue lock before retry race assertions (#13273)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Retry decisions must respect changes to an issue owner.
> - Database tests verify this with two concurrent transactions.
> - The test started the competing operation before its fixture held the
lock.
> - That race can fail a correct source verification run and block
deployment.
> - This PR waits for lock acquisition before starting the competing
operation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13257 for the deployment verification work that exposed this test
race. No duplicate fix was found.

**What happened?**

[Cloud verification job
103424158921](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34648268409/job/103424158921)
failed because the test did not observe a concurrent issue-row lock
waiter. The fixture and retry operation both started without an ordering
guarantee.

**Expected behavior**

The fixture must hold the issue lock before the competing retry
operation starts. The test must still prove that the retry waits for the
lock and observes the reassignment.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Add a temporary 50 ms delay before the fixture acquires the issue
lock.
2. Run the promoteOrCancelDueRetry issue-lock test.
3. The original fixture fails with the same missing-waiter error as CI.
4. The synchronized fixture passes with that delay. The delay is not
part of this PR.

## What Changed

- Separate fixture readiness from its transaction completion promise.
- Wait for readiness at both callers before starting the retry decision.
- Propagate transaction failure during setup through Promise.race.

## Verification

- The original fixture fails under the temporary delayed-lock probe. The
fixed fixture passes the same probe.
- All 31 tests in
server/src/modules/run-dispatch/adapters/postgres.test.ts pass after
removing the probe.
- The real concurrent waiter, lock-order, and reassignment assertions
remain intact. No timeout was increased.
- Full local typecheck and build pass (221s and 50s). The full local
test command stopped in its server phase after 10,610 passes, 65 skips,
and 14 failures: 13 existing macOS skill-cache rename/permission
failures and one unchanged Telegram test assertion. The Telegram test
passes in a focused rerun. Later local phases did not run after that
failure. Current-head Greptile is 5/5 with no findings. All 32
current-head checks pass, including full Linux typecheck, build, native
verification, server suites, browser suites, and canary packaging. The
unchanged GitHub browser mock assertion passed its single failed-shard
retry.
- git diff --check passes.

## Risks

- Only test synchronization changes. Production database behavior is
unchanged.
- Awaiting the transaction itself during setup would deadlock the test.
Returning the completion promise inside an object avoids that problem.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, and code
execution. The exact serving model ID and context window are not exposed
by this environment.

DottaandPaperclip b1efd65edc fix: continue interrupted task conversations with bounded retries (#13237)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their tasks.
> - A task can outlive a provider process or a server restart.
> - Legacy recovery treated unknown tool outcomes as a permanent
execution hold.
> - That hold could also reject a later user message.
> - A conversation turn can use prior history without replaying prior
tool calls.
> - This pull request lets supported conversation adapters continue
within the existing retry budget.
> - Users can send a new message after automatic attempts stop.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A server restart could interrupt a local ACP run and leave its task
behind a permanent recovery hold. A later user message could be
cancelled before the provider answered. The immediate recovery path
could also create a successor outside the durable failure counter.

**Expected behavior**

Continue with a bounded new conversation turn. Preserve a compatible
provider session or use full task context when it is unavailable. Do not
replay recorded tools. When automatic attempts stop, allow a new user
request through the normal execution gates.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a task with a local conversation adapter.
2. Restart the server while the provider is working.
3. Let the previous run become interrupted.
4. Send a follow-up message and observe the recovery hold on the old
behavior.

Related work: Refs #13075 for durable task recovery. Refs #12946 for
retry-limit and checkout-lock handling. This change routes conversation
recovery through the existing bounded scheduler.

## What Changed

- Mark supported local conversation failures for continuation. Keep
native-runner and non-conversation recovery rules.
- Carry an interruption notice into the next turn. Retain stopped ACP
session history even when a write outcome is unknown.
- Clear unavailable ACP sessions so the next bounded attempt can use
full task context.
- Route immediate failure recovery through the same durable scheduler as
process-loss recovery. Release only the predecessor checkout when its
retry takes ownership.
- Retire obsolete conversation holds using immutable run evidence, in
bounded batches with an activity record. Preserve outcome evidence and
do not wake historical tasks.
- Block actual admission and Resume while a predecessor process or
environment lease is still active. Keep the original interruption notice
after a rejected wake. Preserve the upstream blocked-wake waiting
contract: bounded retry planning can happen during cleanup, while
deferred messages and execution remain gated.
- Add subprocess and database regression tests. Update the execution
contract.
- Add the current thread-status field to the native recovery provider
fixture so its damaged-journal test reaches the intended boundary.
Tolerate an already-exited fixture process during test cleanup while
still asserting both processes terminate.

## Verification

- Workspace typecheck passed: `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Build passed: `pnpm build`.
- Module boundaries passed: `pnpm check:module-boundaries`.
- Focused tests passed: 293 recovery/session/dispatch tests, 66 retry
and response-gate tests, and 37 native-session tests. Some suites
overlap.
- Tests cover interrupted writes, missing sessions, concurrent retries,
restart persistence, pending questions and approvals, execution gates,
and historical holds.
- Built the Rust test executables with `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/paperclip-runner build:rust` for native-runner
verification.
- Full Vitest coverage verified locally using the repository’s general
and serialized shards, with focused reruns for failures and files not
reached after a shard stopped. The ownership-gate regression is fixed
and the complete affected server shard passes (1,390 tests). Local
parallel runs also hit temporary-directory, resource, and timing
failures; those suites pass with canonical temporary paths and
sequential reruns. No test timeouts were increased.
- Final merged-branch regression run: 577 tests pass across process
recovery, retry scheduling, liveness, durable chat, wake-queue
application/adapter, dispatch, continuation, native sessions, and task
chat. Earlier focused verification also passed 19 native control tests.
Token gates and whitespace validation pass.
- Browser verification passed all three ACP Stop/continue/pause
scenarios, including a rerun after merging the upstream waiting
behavior: `PAPERCLIP_E2E_PORT=3397 pnpm test:e2e
tests/e2e/acp-stop-continuation.spec.ts`. The interrupted-write case
verifies that follow-up completes without a repeated write.

- Final-head [CI run
34625037394](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34625037394)
passed on `06ac4bd9d150f8b209a96e5fd609c696958794a0`: all 31 reported
checks are green, including server/workspace suites, all browser shards,
native runner verification, build, typecheck, release dry run, and
aggregate gates. The two conditional Storybook checks were skipped.
Greptile reviewed this exact commit at 5/5; all review threads are
resolved.

## Risks

- A new model turn can choose to repeat an action. Paperclip does not
replay recorded tool calls and does not certify unknown action outcomes.
- Conversation adapters now stop after their retry budget instead of
requiring action reconciliation. Explicit Stop, pause, dependency,
approval, budget, and ownership gates remain in force.
- No schema migration or dependency changes. Historical holds are folded
without changing task status or waking work.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and test execution. The session does not expose a more
specific model build ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip eb640ec129 fix(execution): keep blocked wakes waiting without repeated runs (#13236)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Wake admission decides when a task can create an execution run.
> - Recovery can prohibit replay while the previous execution needs
review.
> - Dependency reconciliation kept creating runs before dispatch
rejected that same hold.
> - Each rejected run added another startup notice without doing useful
work.
> - This change checks the hold during admission and records repeated
automatic waits once.
> - Tasks keep their messages and can resume when the current gates
permit execution.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related changes: Refs #13173 (stale completed-task continuations). Refs
#12651 (dependency waits during recovery).

**What happened?**

A blocked task with completed dependencies can remain under a durable
execution reconciliation hold. Each scheduler pass created a queued run.
Dispatch then cancelled it before the adapter started. The skipped wake
did not satisfy dependency wake deduplication, so this repeated and
filled the conversation with “Couldn't start” notices.

**Expected behavior**

A known execution hold creates a waiting diagnostic without a run.
Repeated automatic observations share that diagnostic. Clearing the hold
permits a new wake only after the other gates pass. New comments remain
available for the next eligible execution.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Assign a blocked task with a completed blocker.
2. Give the task an active reconciliation action, or a resolved action
whose automatic recovery evidence still prohibits replay.
3. Run dependency reconciliation repeatedly.
4. Observe repeated cancelled pre-start runs on the base branch. This
branch creates no runs while held and admits work after the effective
hold clears.

## What Changed

- Check effective execution holds under the issue admission lock before
inserting runs. Keep the final dispatch check for races.
- Share automatic wait diagnostics across producers, wake keys, and
service restarts. Apply the helper to reconciliation, dependencies,
pause holds, availability, budgets, and disabled heartbeats.
- Preserve ordinary comment and interaction receipts during execution
holds. Prevent release from draining them while replay is blocked. Keep
external-chat receipt authorization intact.
- Group empty pre-start reconciliation cancellations into a neutral
waiting notice. Keep started runs and the full run history.
- Document the waiting contract and add database-backed, UI, and browser
regressions.
- Stabilize two existing verification tests: allow the asynchronous chat
lease transition a bounded five-second wait, and accept either
legitimate damaged-session refusal while retaining exact
archive-evidence assertions.

## Verification

Passed targeted tests:

- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation.test.ts
server/src/modules/wake-queue/adapters/postgres.test.ts` — 28 tests.
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx` —
covered in the initial combined test run; UI suite passed.
- Run-dispatch adapter tests passed in the combined gate regression run.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/durable-chat-wakeup.test.ts` — 41 tests, including
held receipt replay, promotion, and revoked access.
- `PAPERCLIP_E2E_PORT=3294 pnpm test:e2e
tests/e2e/acp-stop-continuation.spec.ts` — all 3 browser scenarios pass.
Repeated held messages create no additional runs or provider prompts and
do not replay writes.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm check:module-boundaries`
- `git diff --check`

`pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass.

The full local `pnpm test:run` invocation did not finish green: it
encountered exhausted local PostgreSQL shared-memory slots, a missing
fresh-worktree runner test binary, and tests loaded across in-flight
edits. The affected chat/database suites passed on rerun (81 tests), and
the targeted lifecycle/recovery verification passed (3 tests). After
building the runner test binary, the full native session suite also
passed (37 tests). Final-head [CI run
34621288475](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34621288475)
passed on `8659618b0ed2b98df002a28f4c1bd97321b0db04`, including all
server/workspace test shards, all three browser shards, runner
verification, typecheck, build, release dry run, and the aggregate
verification gates. All 31 reported checks passed; the two conditional
Storybook checks were skipped as intended. Greptile reviewed that exact
commit at 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.

## Risks

The wait record is diagnostic only. It must never count as a delivered
wake or bypass a current gate. Tests cover repeated and concurrent
admission, resolved no-replay evidence, a remaining dependency after
hold clearance, deferred comments, and release gating. Explicit user
requests and authorized chat receipts do not share automatic
diagnostics. No migration or historical data deletion is required.
Existing provider retry budgets remain unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The runtime does not expose the exact hosted
snapshot ID or context-window size. Used repository inspection, code
editing, command execution, tests, and review tools.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 86c2e0ac4a feat(server): log an activity row for each queued-comment queue mutation (#13159)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server records actions that change issues and their queued
comments
> - The queued-comment edit, reorder, and discard routes changed queue
state without activity rows
> - Operators could not inspect these queue mutations in the activity
feed
> - This pull request adds one identifier-only activity row for each
successful queue mutation
> - The benefit is a durable audit trail with no comment text in the
activity log

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The queued-comment edit, reorder, and discard routes now record their
successful mutations in the activity feed.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting (server and ui).

**Current behavior**

The three queue mutation routes change queued comments but do not write
an activity row. The activity feed has no label for these actions.

**Proposed behavior**

Each successful route writes one activity row with the actor fields,
entity fields, queue identifiers, and queue revision. The discard row
also includes the cancelled run identifier. The activity feed shows a
label for each action.

**Reason and benefit**

Operators need a durable record of queue changes. Identifier-only
details support audit and troubleshooting without storing comment text.

**Breaking changes**

None. The routes keep their existing response and authorization
behavior.

**Additional context**

Each mutation writes its activity row on the same locked transaction
that applies the mutation, so the two commit or roll back together. The
route publishes the live activity event only after that transaction
commits. The separate comment-cancel route opts out of this write and
keeps its existing single activity row.

## What Changed

- Add activity rows for queued-comment edit, reorder, and discard
mutations.
- Include queue identifiers, revisions, ordered comment identifiers, and
cancelled run identifiers as applicable.
- Add activity-feed labels for the three new actions.
- Add route and activity-format tests for the new behavior.
- Write each activity row on the same transaction as the mutation it
records, through a new port method that the adapter implements.
- Keep the comment-delete route opted out of that write, so a
cancellation does not log two rows.

## Verification

- [x] `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-queued-comments-routes.test.ts` passes.
- [x] `npx vitest run ui/src/lib/activity-format.test.ts` passes.
- [x] `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` exits 0.
- [x] `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` exits 0.
- [x] `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs` passes.
- [x] The full CI suite is green.

## Risks

Low risk. The change adds activity rows after successful mutations and
does not change route responses, authorization, or stored comment text.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 Codex. The model used repository inspection, Git
operations, and command execution. The context window and reasoning mode
are not exposed by this runtime.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 0d8bbf7cf4 refactor(server): move the queued-comment queue mutations into the wake-queue module (#13145)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server coordinates issue execution and agent wake events
> - Queued comment mutations belong to the wake queue that owns their
state
> - Route-local database writes split queue rules across two layers
> - This pull request moves those mutations into the wake-queue module
and keeps route authorization and response mapping
> - The benefit is one transaction boundary with company-scoped writes
and a shared checked response contract

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The queued-comment edit, reorder, and discard endpoints write queue
state directly from the route layer.

**Subsystem affected**

server/ — REST API and orchestration services.

**Current behavior**

The route layer owns database transactions, locks, queue writes, and
wake-row writes for queued comments.

**Proposed behavior**

The wake-queue module owns these operations. The routes keep
authorization, input checks, error mapping, and response mapping.

**Reason and benefit**

The module gives all queued-comment callers one transaction boundary and
applies company predicates to every adapter read and write.

**Breaking changes**

None. The endpoints keep their existing paths and response behavior.

## What Changed

- Move queued-comment edit, reorder, and discard operations into the
wake-queue module.
- Add company predicates to seven queue writes.
- Use the shared queue contract type for mutation responses.
- Add module tests and route tests for the moved operations.

## Verification

- `server/src/modules/wake-queue`: 128 tests pass across 6 files.
- `server/src/__tests__/issue-queued-comments-routes.test.ts`: 19 tests
pass.
- The server TypeScript check reports the same 141 pre-existing errors
before and after this change.
- GitHub Actions must pass the required pull-request checks.

## Risks

The change moves transaction and lock ownership across module
boundaries. The new adapter, use-case, and route tests cover the moved
behavior. No database schema changes occur.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, current agent runtime, tool use and code review
support.

DottaandPaperclip 889947c238 feat: add experimental native chat connectors (#13038)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People also ask agents for work in their existing chat tools.
> - Each external conversation needs one task and a current authorized
source.
> - Retries, Stop, and provider failures must not duplicate work or
expose private data.
> - The first chat PR establishes the opt-in provider and data
contracts.
> - This PR adds experimental channel integration and its durable
control plane.
> - Users can request work from connected channels and inspect delivery
in Paperclip.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13100 and #13092. This is the second of exactly two chat PRs.
Foundation #13100 is merged and changed 143 files. Runner prerequisite
#13092 is also merged. This PR changes 400 files against master, below
the 500-file review limit. It contains no wireframe images or HTML
galleries.

## What Changed

- Add native Slack, GitHub, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, and Discord chat
connections. Keep chat disabled unless the operator enables experimental
chat connectors. Preserve the production GitHub tool connection and its
normal setup path.
- Bind each provider bot identity to one immutable Paperclip agent. Bind
each admitted external conversation to one task. Paperclip owns tasks,
runs, permissions, and audit records.
- Add durable admission, per-conversation queues, questions, task
controls, progress, final replies, images, files, and delivery receipts.
Board comments remain internal unless explicitly sent to the channel.
- Check current identity, provider reach, resource access, credentials,
runtime generation, and exact source before provider effects. Keep
private responses private. Never send raw reasoning, private logs,
credentials, or tool arguments.
- Hold uncertain sends for explicit audited resolution. Make Board
Send-to-channel atomic and idempotent. Keep reconnect and setup
credentials in Paperclip secret storage.
- Preserve current native-runner authority across retries, lost
acknowledgements, and recovery. Keep immutable input and completion
contracts separate from newer user input. Receipt reconciliation cannot
launch a provider.
- Reconcile chat close/new ordering and provider-effect lock order.
Audit resource access changes in the same transaction. Submit only the
selected resource from each UI toggle so stale pages cannot undo
unrelated access changes.
- Drain Codex stdout before certifying process exit. Bound the drain
with the existing shutdown grace. Preserve observed terminal authority
without treating an undrained process as successful or reusable.
- Incorporate master `018ca5da` with its ACP Stop, mobile task layout,
runner packaging, and official lock changes. Preserve dedicated
chat-answer continuations in both directions when ordinary queued
comments are adopted after Stop.
- Fence late adapter readiness behind an earlier Stop for the same run.
Preserve verified cleanup for registered adapters. Handle single Stop,
agent pause, duplicate Stops, and failure release without creating a
false cancellation receipt.
- Incorporate master's `6dd48cad4` wake-queue extraction. Preserve exact
failed-chat retry authorization and lineage, retired question-source
suppression, and the block on generic recovery that would discard the
admitted source. Fresh deferred input retains its separate promotion
path.
- Incorporate master `2a05b5ed3` and its queue-admission extraction,
simplified transaction ports, and separate runner CI job. Preserve exact
durable receipts, actor separation, and dedicated-answer isolation
through the new module. A failed receipt insert rolls back the
accompanying deferred-wake merge.

## Verification

Current head: `afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a`, incorporating
master `2a05b5ed3457ea33efd6895520447d1d97fe98d8`. The conflicts are
resolved. This successor fixes two test-harness boundaries exposed by
CI: per-case route-module preparation and actual durable-save completion
before intentional runner termination. Production code and all existing
test/turn deadlines are unchanged. [Exact-head Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13038#issuecomment-5587250594)
is **5/5**, completed September 10 at 13:20:55 UTC, with no actionable
findings or open review threads. [Fresh exact-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34481724341)
passes **all 24 jobs**, including Build and both required aggregates.
Normal exact-head guarded merge was attempted and rejected by the
remaining branch approval policy: CODEOWNER review is required and no
human approval is present. Normal **squash auto-merge is enabled** as of
September 10 at 13:36:26 UTC. Requested CODEOWNERS have been notified;
no approval bypass or self-approval was used. Earlier-head results below
remain historical evidence, not qualification of this successor.

- Final exact-head Linux evidence: 995/995 chat integration cases; 36/36
agent-skills routes; 35/35 runner live-session cases, including real
process kill/resume; 1948 runner Vitest cases with three existing
benchmark/platform guards; 870/870 API-authority cases; and 104 browser
cases with four existing optional skips. Rust, conformance/replay, full
repository build, typecheck, canary, all server/workspace shards, and
both required aggregates pass with normal CI concurrency. Earlier failed
attempts remain recorded below.

- Latest test-only qualification: 141/141
route/permissions/authentication cases pass in separate cold forks, with
plain server types and independent review clear. The real-runner suite
passes 35/35, with plain runner types and independent review clear. A
controlled premature-save acknowledgement fails as expected; matching
ownership/effect/process evidence, rejected saves, real turn outcome,
test abort, and pre-kill liveness are covered. No local reproduction of
the original CI scheduling failure is claimed. The preceding [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34479680858)
passes 21/24 jobs, including all 995 Linux chat cases and browser
aggregate (104 passed, four existing optional skips); only Build, the
skills serialized shard, and the required verification aggregate fail.
Its exact-head Greptile review was 5/5. Both failed job logs are
retained.

- Final fixture qualification: all eight focused Discord cases and all
995 chat integration cases pass. The exact modal statement/PID is
observed before taking the real connection lock; the test then proves
its actual blocking relationship before mutation. Original SQL
execution, provider behavior, negative assertions, and 1s/15s timeouts
remain unchanged. Independent review is clear and test/production hashes
remain frozen. The preceding [CI
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34477184777)
passed 22 jobs, including Build/runner, typecheck, canary, all other
test shards, and browser aggregate (104 passed, four existing optional
skips); the two fixture failures and failed verification aggregate
remain recorded, not relabeled as a pass.

- Current queue-module composition: 308/308 recovery/batching/queue/Stop
tests; 995/995 full chat integration; 89/89 module tests, including real
PostgreSQL receipt-insert rollback; 24/24 workflow/module-boundary
tests; plain server and UI types. All four actual local process/ACP
browser paths pass in 1.4 minutes. Fresh databases, no skips or retries,
stable reviewed source hashes. The initial boundary failure is retained;
its no-op service wrapper was removed without changing recovery context
or weakening the check. An exploratory standalone test-directory
typecheck fails because its new upstream transformation config is not a
standalone typechecking project; standard CI/build does not invoke it,
and no configuration was weakened to suppress those diagnostics.

- The preceding head `e02a63d462ce5d47433b0aeb632bb6fd20aab1ba` passed
[all 24 CI
jobs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34436462958)
and exact-head Greptile review at 5/5. Required CODEOWNER review
prevented its normal merge before master advanced again.

- Final extracted-module composition: 307/307 recovery, batching, queue
and Stop-control tests; 995/995 full chat integration; 49/49 module
tests including eight PostgreSQL adapter cases; and 19/19 issue-update
tests. Plain server types pass. All four actual local process/ACP
browser paths pass in 1.3 minutes. Fresh databases, no skips or retries
in these cohorts, frozen source hashes, and independent review clear.

- The preceding head `3e4e1c1c` passes [all PR CI
jobs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34415826820),
including Build and required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`. Both the
original Rust failure and the previously load-sensitive lineage fixture
pass with unchanged Linux concurrency. Master advanced afterward and
required this reconciliation.
- Final master composition: 448/448 focused UI tests, 186/186 adapter
tests, 24/24 queue/control tests, and 11/11 packaging tests. Plain UI,
server, shared, and adapter types pass. Token gates and diff checks
pass. Independent server and UI reviews are clear.
- Stop-registration regression: both real-service cases fail against
exact `a95` source and pass with the fix. The full corrected
recovery/control suite passes 265/265. Duplicate-owner and failed-Stop
controls also pass. Plain server types pass. The readiness barrier
prevents provider startup without adding an acknowledgment to an already
terminal run.
- Final qualification strengthens terminal-field equality and repeats
both affected cases successfully on a fresh database. All four actual
local process/ACP browser paths pass again in 1.3 minutes, without skips
or retries. The final screenshot shows Cancelled, a paused subtree,
retained input, and no error toast.
- Two new actual-service regressions fail before the merge fix. They
prove that queued-comment adoption could consume a dedicated chat answer
or add unrelated input to that answer. The fixed four-case cohort
passes, including ordinary upstream continuation and adapter Stop
controls. Full recovery passes 257/257. All four actual local
process/ACP Stop browser flows pass in 1.4 minutes, without skips or
retries, on a fresh database.
- The unchanged runner artifact was qualified with 171/171 transport
tests, 870/870 API-authority tests, conformance 1/1, and replay 11/11.
Six controlled reader tests prove the exit/drain repair. Its local
serial Rust workspace passed 546 top-level cases plus two invoked
helpers; the later passing Linux CI supplies default-concurrency
evidence.
- Prior exact-source full chat integration passes 995/995. Settings
regressions cover concurrent stale pages, 501 destinations, pending
state, rejected updates, and explicit retry. These deterministic tests
do not prove live provider behavior.
- Retained failed attempts and their causes are in the [qualification
log](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-08-chat-queue-and-webhook-repair.md).
The first merge adapter run timed out while macOS slept for 290 seconds.
Its unchanged repeat passed with a temporary sleep guard. No assertion,
deadline, or CI gate was weakened.

Review commands include `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest
run src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-queued-comments-routes.test.ts` and `pnpm exec
playwright test --config tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts
tests/e2e/acp-stop-continuation.spec.ts`. Database suites require fresh
disposable databases. See the [browser
runbook](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-04-chat-adapters-browser-e2e-runbook.md)
for provider setup and separate live acceptance steps.

## Risks

- This remains experimental. Deterministic tests and bounded live
evidence do not establish every provider feature, tenant, permission
layout, or media shape. Teams work-tenant qualification is still open.
- Failed and uncertain provider effects remain visible and can require
operator action. A transport receipt does not prove recipient
visibility.
- Native controller and runner artifacts must remain compatible.
Preserve lease ownership, terminal authority, source binding, and
quarantine during future changes.
- Access and audit rows commit together, but activity notifications
remain best-effort. This is not a new durable event outbox.
- The PR operation does not deploy a live server, replace its runner, or
change provider permissions. Remaining live qualification is documented
in the [temporary
handoff](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-08-open-qualification-followups.md).

Nicky LeachandPaperclip ae0c1fbbd5 refactor(server): move the admission half of the deferred wake state machine into the wake-queue module (#13136)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The heartbeat service admits wake requests while an issue has an
active execution run.
> - That admission branch mixes wake policy, database reads, and
database writes in one service.
> - This structure makes the wake-queue boundary hard to test and
extend.
> - This pull request moves the admission policy and its database
adapter into the wake-queue module.
> - The result keeps heartbeat orchestration small and makes the
admission behavior testable in isolation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The heartbeat service now delegates deferred wake admission to the
wake-queue module. The module keeps the existing merge, defer, and
ordinary-wake outcomes.

**Subsystem affected**

server/ — REST API and orchestration services.

**Current behavior**

The heartbeat service contains a 146-line branch that reads wake state,
chooses an outcome, and writes the result.

**Proposed behavior**

The wake-queue module owns the pure admission decision and the adapter
reads and writes. The heartbeat service calls one module method.

**Reason and benefit**

This boundary reduces service coupling and lets module tests cover the
admission policy. The change keeps the existing reason strings and
outcomes.

**Breaking changes**

None. The change preserves the current behavior and public API.

**Additional context**

This pull request follows [PR
#13132](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13132), which
merged the first slice of this refactor. I searched GitHub for duplicate
and related pull requests before opening this pull request.

## What Changed

- Move deferred wake admission policy into
`server/src/modules/wake-queue`.
- Add module ports and a PostgreSQL adapter for the admission reads and
writes.
- Keep the existing wake outcomes and stored reason strings.
- Extend the module boundary check to reject service imports from the
application layer.
- Add unit and adapter tests for the moved behavior.

## Verification

- `node --test scripts/check-module-boundaries.test.mjs` passes.
- The `server/src/modules/wake-queue` suite passes 58 tests.
- The eight pinned heartbeat and queued-comment tests remain unchanged
and require CI verification.
- Every continuous-integration check must reach a terminal green state
before merge.

## Risks

The refactor changes the location of wake admission logic. A missed
adapter condition could change deferred wake behavior. The tests cover
the policy outcomes and the adapter writes. The residual tenant-scope
risk remains documented in the review record.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution. The implementation
author ran the tests and prepared the commit set.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 0bff1d5cb6 refactor(server): simplify the wake-queue module (#13139)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server uses a deferred wake queue to release work at the correct
time
> - The wake queue had repeated decisions, helpers, queries, and
recovery data
> - This repetition made the module harder to read and left a drain
invariant implicit
> - This pull request moves pure decisions into the policy layer and
simplifies the queue flow
> - The benefit is a smaller, clearer module with the same behavior and
direct test coverage

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13136

**Problem:** The deferred wake queue carried repeated logic across the
application and database layers.

**Expected behavior:** The queue keeps the same wake, release, recovery,
and escalation behavior after the refactor.

**Solution:** Move pure decisions into the policy layer, share repeated
data and predicates, and state the drain invariant in the application
layer.

## What Changed

- Remove the unused database port method and carry the blocked release
notice kind as a typed field.
- Move four pre-drain decisions into pure policy functions with
table-driven tests.
- Resolve the responsible user once in the application layer.
- Use the canonical helper for agent invokability checks.
- Share string helpers and run predicates across the module.
- Split the deferred-wake decision flow and share recovery facts with a
discriminator.
- Bound the drain loop and throw when it processes a wake identifier
twice.
- Rename queue ports to describe their behavior.
- Share row-loading code between stranded-issue escalation adapters.
- Restore the interaction-continuation integration test case.

## Verification

- Run the three wake-queue module test files. They pass 61 cases
locally.
- Run `pnpm check:module-boundaries`. It passes locally.
- Run the `server/` type-check and confirm that no error names the
changed wake-queue module or `heartbeat.ts`.
- Run continuous integration and confirm that `promotes an interaction
continuation after removing a coalesced self-authored comment` passes.

## Risks

The change refactors queue control flow and database adapter boundaries.
The main risk is a behavior change in deferred wake release or recovery.
The new policy tests and the restored integration case cover these
paths. The local environment cannot run the integration test because the
same dependency failure occurs on the base branch.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, context window not exposed by the runtime, with
reasoning, tool use, and code execution.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 6dd48cad43 refactor(server): move the release half of the deferred wake state machine into a wake-queue module (#13132)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The heartbeat service releases deferred issue wakes and promotes the
next run
> - The release logic sat in a large service function, which made its
decisions and database effects hard to test
> - A promotion race could reopen an issue without creating the promoted
run
> - Company checks did not protect every read and write, and some
readers used a second transaction connection
> - This pull request moves the release logic into a layered wake-queue
module and closes these race and company-scope defects
> - The benefit is clearer decisions, safer writes, and focused tests
while existing callers keep the same entry point

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #10195

## What Changed

- Move the release half of deferred issue execution from `heartbeat.ts`
into `server/src/modules/wake-queue/`.
- Add pure policy decisions with table-driven tests.
- Claim a wake before the reopen write and advance to the next wake when
the claim fails.
- Add company predicates to guarded reads and writes.
- Pass the transaction-scoped issue snapshot to reader ports.
- Keep `releaseIssueExecutionAndPromote` as the public wrapper.

## Verification

- Run `pnpm check:module-boundaries`.
- Run `pnpm exec tsc --noEmit` inside `server/` and compare the result
with the known baseline.
- Run the wake-queue unit and adapter tests in continuous integration.
- Check the promotion-claim ordering, guarded writes, transaction-scoped
reads, and cross-company outcomes.
- Search the pull request diff for internal issue identifiers.

## Risks

- The refactor changes the transaction path for deferred wake release.
- A stale or lost wake claim now skips that wake and continues with the
next queued wake.
- The public wrapper keeps its name and signature, which limits caller
risk.
- Continuous integration must confirm the full server test suite and
build.

window not exposed, with shell, Git, and GitHub tool use.

DottaandPaperclip 018ca5daaf fix: verify ACP Stop and preserve safe continuation (#13119)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task controls coordinate provider execution and queued user
messages.
> - Stop could finish before an embedded ACP provider stopped its tools.
> - A later request could be held for reconciliation without a clear
task response.
> - A restored provider could also retain the stopped run's API
credential.
> - This pull request verifies provider termination and preserves safe
session continuation.
> - Operators can continue known-safe work and see why uncertain work
cannot start.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Stop could leave an embedded ACP provider running. A queued follow-up
followed by “go” could fail before it reached the provider. Task chat
could show a generic missing-response message. Even a restored session
could use the previous run's credential and fail its task update.

**Expected behavior**

Stop waits for confirmed provider termination. A later explicit wake
continues the same compatible session only when recorded actions have
known outcomes. It carries pending comments and the current run's
environment. Uncertain actions retain a visible reconciliation hold.
Composer Stop preserves the existing pause rule: conversation can
continue while paused, but task work requires Resume.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start an embedded ACP task.
2. Send a second request while the provider is running.
3. Interrupt the run, then send “go”. Also test composer Stop followed
by Resume work.
4. Check that the request is delivered once and that the provider can
complete the task through the current run's API credential.
5. Repeat with an unfinished write. Confirm that the write stops and
that further execution stays blocked with a visible reason.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Built from source on master at `3bc60dd8b` plus this branch.

**Deployment mode**

Local source build with an isolated embedded PostgreSQL instance.

Refs #11183. Refs #12552. Those changes address recovery after operator
cancellation. This change also covers embedded ACP termination, session
proof, pending-comment delivery, and task feedback.

## What Changed

- Propagate Stop into embedded ACP and wait for bounded adapter cleanup
and provider exit. Retain the actual ChildProcess object for forced
termination on all platforms; never signal a recycled numeric PID.
- Preserve interrupted checkpoints only for acknowledged, local,
persistent sessions with settled reads or no tools. Keep writes,
incomplete actions, and forced termination blocked.
- Restore the same compatible provider session with the current run's
environment. Reject fresh-session fallback for an interrupted
checkpoint.
- Adopt pending comments on the next explicit wake. Stop alone does not
dispatch them.
- Share the execution-blocker rule across dispatch, Resume, and task
detail. Show Stopped or Couldn't start with the recorded reason. Resolve
the stopped agent for the run link, including reviewer runs.
- Keep execution reconciliation holds intact when generic recovery sees
queued comments or healthy child tasks.
- Add process, service, component, and browser regression coverage. Fix
disposable database cleanup and React test settling exposed by the full
suite.

## Verification

- Passed `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and `pnpm
check:token-gates`.
- Passed all three `acp-stop-continuation.spec.ts` browser journeys.
They use an actual ACP child process and require task completion through
the agent API.
- Passed 165 adapter execution, operator-stop, and child-process control
tests, 17 queued-comment route tests, and 65 tests in the two adjusted
UI suites. Earlier focused recovery, heartbeat, and task-control tests
also passed.
- Manually used the browser to queue a request, Stop, send “go” while
paused, and Resume. The same session answered once and moved the task to
Done with the current run's credential.
- Manually interrupted an unfinished write. Its file size stayed fixed
for five seconds. “Go” showed the reconciliation reason and did not
start another provider prompt.
- Separate live Claude ACP smoke checks confirmed that Stop ended a
disposable local write and that a no-tool interruption could resume the
exact provider session. The browser fixture does not call Drive or
another external app.
- Passed all 5,615 UI tests and 3,090 other workspace tests. The CLI and
general server groups pass with targeted retries: two transient server
failures passed together on retry, and two embedded-database startup
failures passed after removing abandoned shared-memory segments from
this task's completed browser fixtures. All 144 serialized server suites
completed, with 2,189 tests passing after two transient HTTP socket
failures passed on retry.
- Passed all 135 heartbeat process/recovery tests, including a
deterministic regression that failed before the recovery-sweep fix.
- Passed 18 dispatch integration tests, including stopped-reviewer
links, company boundaries, and malformed run IDs.
- Greptile is 5/5 on `7dd170d83`, with zero unresolved review threads.
The security scan and all required CI gates pass for the same commit.

## Risks

- Safe continuation depends on complete tool reporting and a restorable
local provider session. Unknown outcomes remain blocked and require
reconciliation.
- Provider cleanup can take time. A timeout does not grant replay
permission.
- The change adds optional adapter context fields and an optional issue
projection. It does not change the database schema or require a
migration.
- Test cleanup truncates company data only in a disposable test
database.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6, running as Codex with repository tools, code execution,
and browser interaction. The runtime does not expose a more specific
model deployment ID or context-window size.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Native runner tool authority, connection intents, task interactions, and
shared connection setup.

**Problem or motivation**

A task that needs an unconnected service cannot finish its work. Leaving
the task to configure access also loses context. A resolved request must
survive a restart and resume the correct agent once.

**Proposed solution**

Expose connection discovery and access requests as server-owned native
tools. Render a durable task card and use the shared setup dialog.
Persist outcome delivery and start a fresh provider session after access
is ready.

**Alternatives considered**

Sending the person to the Connections page adds navigation and does not
solve continuation. Polling for authorization consumes runs and can
create duplicate requests.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the existing connection-intent runtime and setup
experience. It reuses the shared access model and the native runner.

Related: #12345, #12347. The service-slug fix in #12906 is related but
separate. Companion evaluation PR:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/pull/21.

## What Changed

- Expose `connections_search` and `connection_request` with server-bound
company, task, agent, and responsible user. Preserve the legacy entry
points.
- Discover catalog services and authorized custom connections. Check
installation, identity, health, and executable permissions before
reporting ready.
- Keep pending cards through ordinary messages. Reuse requests and
retire stale ownership. Put Connect at the right of Not now.
- Reuse the shared setup flow in a task dialog. Keep access additive and
default to the requesting agent. Recover from cancelled or blocked OAuth
windows with a new-tab fallback.
- Persist outcome delivery with an idempotent wake key. Resume in a
fresh session and recheck ownership before dispatch.
- Add native browser fixtures, offline Storybook states, server
contracts, and evaluation fixtures. Update guidance and documentation.

## Verification

- `pnpm build`: passed after replaying the change on current master.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build-storybook`: passed.
- New continuation-policy regression cases: 16 passed.
- Docker-backed PostgreSQL regressions passed for requester-only OAuth
access, assignment-only expiry, terminal expiry, and credential-free
setup metadata.
- Shared setup and task-card UI tests: 121 passed, including configured
MCP reconnect URL recovery and preserving user edits across refetch.
- Storybook browser checks: all 119 passed on the latest reconnect fix.
- `pnpm test:run`: 4,734 tests passed in the first server group, but
embedded PostgreSQL startup failures and resulting cleanup errors
prevented a complete local pass. All Linux CI lanes passed on the latest
reviewed commit. One external-object route test returned an unexplained
500 on the first run; it passed twice locally and the failed shard
passed on retry without code changes.
- Earlier feature-checkout evidence: three deterministic native browser
journeys passed, including restart delivery and an actual fixture tool
result. Legacy scripted coverage also passed. All 59 added stories were
inspected in light and dark themes.
- Live Notion testing recorded successful provider reads. The manual
test used a local-trusted instance. It does not prove
authenticated/cloud deployment or every provider journey.
- Native browser rerun reached the embedded PostgreSQL startup limit
before bootstrap, so the latest checkout’s full native browser journey
remains unverified. Both OAuth page/task regression cases passed against
isolated Docker-backed PostgreSQL 17. They verify no premature task
access, requester-only completion, additive retries, and reconnect
preservation.
- Applied both new migrations twice to isolated PostgreSQL 17. Foreign
keys remained intact, duplicate active delivery keys were rejected, and
failed delivery records did not block retries.

Reviewer path: start a fresh test drive, enable the native runner, use
an agent that can perform work directly, and ask it to summarize a
Notion page. Connect from the card, then verify the resumed provider
call and source-linked answer. The default test-drive CEO is instructed
to delegate, so it can introduce an unrelated hiring step.

## Risks

- Two additive migrations create durable deliveries and a partial unique
wake index. They are idempotent. The wake index can require a
maintenance window on large tables because migrations run in a
transaction.
- OAuth and continuation cross asynchronous boundaries. Tests cover
ownership changes, retries, additive access, and restart delivery; live
provider behavior still varies.
- The latest requester-scope fix has not yet been exercised through live
OAuth. GitHub, API-key, authenticated-user, and all recovery journeys
are not claimed as verified.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6-based Codex assisted with implementation, tests, and review
using tools and code execution. The runtime does not expose the exact
model version, context window, or reasoning setting. Live evaluation
used `gpt-5.6-luna`; manual native testing used `gpt-5.6-sol`.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip f65991a5f1 refactor(server): move scheduled-retry and queued-run dispatch into a run-dispatch module (#12920)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server heartbeat service dispatches scheduled retries and queued
runs.
> - The service kept policy decisions and database writes in one large
file.
> - This layout made policy branches harder to test and transaction
boundaries harder to inspect.
> - This pull request moves the policy rules and database transactions
into a run-dispatch module.
> - The benefit is a smaller service, pure policy tests, and clear
transaction ownership.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The server heartbeat service promotes scheduled retries and cancels
stale queued runs.

**Subsystem affected**

server/ — REST API and orchestration services.

**Current behavior**

The heartbeat service contains the policy rules and the database writes
for these dispatch paths.

**Proposed behavior**

A run-dispatch module owns pure policy functions and semantic database
transactions. The public service contracts stay unchanged.

**Reason and benefit**

The new layout separates branch rules from database effects. It makes
each policy branch easier to test and keeps each operation’s row writes
in one transaction.

**Breaking changes**

None. The public service contracts stay unchanged.

## What Changed

- Move scheduled-retry promotion and queued-run staleness rules into
pure functions.
- Add table-driven unit tests for each policy branch.
- Move promotion and cancellation writes into semantic transactions.
- Keep row locking, company isolation, and post-commit effects
unchanged.

## Verification

- `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs` passes.
- `tsc --noEmit` from `server/` reports no errors.
- The focused server test command passes 228 tests in six files.
- Full pull request CI passes.
- Greptile reports 5/5, and all review threads are resolved.

## Risks

The main risk concerns changed transaction boundaries in scheduled-retry
promotion and queued-run cancellation. The focused tests retain coverage
for locking, transactionality, company isolation, and transport
contracts. The public service contracts do not change.

## Model Used

Codex, GPT-5, with code execution and tool use. The context window is
not provided by the runtime.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 3ed5b7c5c8 refactor(server): extract the active-run output watchdog into a feature module (#12853)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server recovery service monitors active runs and applies
watchdog decisions
> - The watchdog rules and database operations lived in one large
recovery service
> - This structure made the rules harder to test and made company
scoping harder to inspect
> - This pull request moves the watchdog into domain, application, and
adapter layers
> - The benefit is a smaller recovery service, pure policy tests, and
clear company-scoped ports

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The active-run output watchdog that detects silence, suppression, and
terminal evidence.

**Current behavior**

The recovery service contains the watchdog policy, use cases, database
operations, and process control in one file.

**Proposed behavior**

A feature module separates pure policy, use cases and ports, and
Postgres and process adapters. The recovery service delegates its public
watchdog methods to this module.

**Reason and benefit**

The separation makes policy decisions easy to test. Company identifiers
on every reader and writer port make tenant scope clear. Smaller service
methods reduce change risk.

**Breaking changes**

None. The recovery service keeps its public methods and call sites.

Related public watchdog work includes
[#7043](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/7043) and
[#7770](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/7770).

## What Changed

- Add the `server/src/modules/active-run-watchdog/` feature module with
domain, application, and adapter layers.
- Move watchdog policy, use cases, Postgres access, and local process
control into the module.
- Keep the recovery service public methods and delegate them to the
module.
- Add 53 pure module test cases and retain 8 Postgres integration cases.
- Add company scoping and transaction rollback coverage.

## Verification

- Run `vitest run --config vitest.config.ts src/modules` and confirm 3
files and 53 cases pass.
- Run `vitest run --config vitest.config.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-active-run-output-watchdog.test.ts` and confirm
1 file and 8 cases pass.
- Run the full server suite in pull request CI.
- Compare the type-check result with a fresh baseline on the same
checkout.

## Risks

The main risk is a behavior change in recovery decisions during the move
across layers. The pure policy tests cover the moved rules. The
integration tests cover database behavior, company scope, and
transaction rollback. Pull request CI runs the full server suite.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, runtime-managed context window, tool use, code
execution, and repository review support.
