DottaandPaperclip 30b753f614 perf(budgets): scope accounting and deliver enforcement asynchronously (#17046)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their paid work.
> - Budgets must prevent new work and stop reported overruns.
> - Cost settlement also ran serial lifecycle reconciliation for every
eligible company agent.
> - That made request latency grow with unrelated idle agents and
delayed results on stop delivery.
> - This change separates atomic admission and accounting from durable
asynchronous enforcement.
> - Scoped live usage detects overruns without writing provisional
ledger charges.
> - The result is constant query scope for ordinary settlement and
recoverable stop delivery.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Settlement and budget checks entered company-wide lifecycle
reconciliation. A company with 1,000 unrelated idle agents performed
1,001 accounting transactions for one ordinary cost evaluation. User
requests could also wait for provider termination. Running usage
checkpoints did not enforce reported monetary exposure.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the final reservation gate authoritative. Commit charges, scope
blocks, and enforcement intent before returning. Deliver stop requests
after commit. Read only applicable policies and execution scopes for
ordinary charges. Stop long-running work when supported reported or
priced usage establishes an overrun.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a disposable company with one company budget and idle agents.
2. Evaluate a charge below the budget with 0, 17, and 1,000 unrelated
idle agents.
3. Compare query counts, company accounting transactions, and duration.
4. Use the controlled partial-usage and delayed-stop fixtures to check
enforcement and request responsiveness.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The measured baseline is `6c9b87d0922f1ebfc43e8b0c36889ac5ba7b9837` from
`master`.

Related public work: Refs #16976, #2006, #3539, #13763, #14296, #16853,
#13075. These cover the affected service charge, cancellation, and
accounting paths. This change removes their shared reconciliation
overhead.

## What Changed

- Batch applicable policy exposure under the existing company accounting
lock. Preserve exact fractional money and zero-reservation dispatch
fences.
- Commit a durable final budget dispatch claim before provider I/O.
Retain a separate final issue/run ownership transaction through
synchronous handoff, without holding the company accounting lock or
awaiting provider work. Preserve native recovery lease checks and
duplicate handoff fencing. Browser handoff rechecks current policy; it
reuses a consumed rate slot only for the identical policy generation.
- Separate ledger spend, live observed spend, and effective held
capacity. Use the maximum of reservation and live observation for each
unfinished operation.
- Deliver budget cancellation through the existing coordinator.
Revalidate generations and persist queued/running stop fences before
external termination. Bound stop concurrency to four.
- Apply agent holds only to the affected agent. Project budgets leave
other projects running. Project real company transitions in bounded
lifecycle batches.
- Replace periodic broad reconciliation with durable pending work,
startup repair, receipt replay, and concrete retry/window deadlines.
Retain drain and idle-safety checks.
- Enforce accepted cumulative usage checkpoints without provisional
charges. Final accounting atomically replaces live exposure and settles
reservations.
- Add operator-gated budget spans, regression coverage, map updates, and
a real-PostgreSQL comparison harness. No schema or first-party telemetry
change.

## Verification

- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` passes on the final ownership fix,
rebased onto `bbcf5dfe98`. Production `pnpm build` passes on final head
`4c5f4de8b1`. Map, module-boundary, token, and Storybook catalog checks
pass.
- Focused real-PostgreSQL coverage includes the 292-case rebased
accounting/dispatch run, 63 browser cases, 52 run-control/cancellation
cases, 42 policy-generation cases, 77 lifecycle/commentary cases, and
the exact Muse confirmation regression. Native executor unit coverage
passes all 768 cases. Final ownership coverage passes: 74
adapter/use-case cases, nine public regression cases, and the additional
deleted-project race. These exercise competing ownership, budget changes
and charges between phases, zero/nonzero duplicate claims, rollback,
recovery contention, read-only capacity rechecks, and controlled HTTP
startup after commit. Another 74 pure/startup/tracing cases pass. The
complete CI matrix and both 5/5 reviews passed on `1ac9b58`; its
external security scan identified a stale-owner handoff race. The final
fix restores synchronous issue/run ownership fencing after the
accounting transaction commits. Final head `8e84f55ce8` has fresh
Greptile 5/5 with zero new comments, Paperclip review 5/5, and a passing
security scan. The complete latest-head [CI
matrix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39535189808)
passes, including budget, browser, Runner, build, and canary jobs. The
unchanged Runner close fixture passed on its sole same-head job retry.
- Broad local `pnpm test:run` invocations were stopped before required
source updates (rebase and review fixes). They are not claimed as full
passes. Final full-suite coverage comes from the complete latest-head CI
matrix; local focused coverage and the incomplete broad invocations are
reported separately.
- Reproduce performance with `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx
../scripts/benchmark-budget-enforcement.ts
--baseline-ref=6c9b87d0922f1ebfc43e8b0c36889ac5ba7b9837`; repeat with
`--reverse`. The harness uses disposable real PostgreSQL, 20 warm
samples per variant/count, and records raw timings, SQL/lock counts,
agent reads, unchanged agent state, and query plans. Final
production-source measurement revision:
`eff713a4f72c7f4b7a4002a701cb481d4bfccd95`; the extended harness is
committed in `4c5f4de8b1`.

| Unrelated idle agents | Baseline median / p95 | New median / p95 |
Baseline SQL / locks | New SQL / locks | New agent reads |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| 0 | 1.80 / 2.33 ms | 2.99 / 3.88 ms | 5 / 1 | 7 / 1 | 0 |
| 17 | 15.53 / 19.55 ms | 2.24 / 2.60 ms | 90 / 18 | 7 / 1 | 0 |
| 1,000 | 978.35 / 1,790.43 ms | 2.16 / 2.52 ms | 5,005 / 1,001 | 7 / 1
| 0 |

- These measurements use local PostgreSQL 18.1 and Node 26.4.0 arm64.
They isolate the cost-evaluation core and complete admission path,
without hosted-region or provider latency. Prior-revision reversed-order
controls also preserved the constant query counts; the final
measurements above use the final production source.
- Complete reserve → final ownership gate → immediate offline provider
result is measured separately, with one responsible agent and one active
operation at each unrelated-agent count. Admission p95 baseline/new: 0
agents **11.54 / 29.77 ms**; 17 agents **9.31 / 27.62 ms**; 1,000 agents
**24.51 / 74.05 ms**. Baseline admission was already scoped; the
stronger final fence adds bounded overhead. New counts stay constant at
53 Drizzle statements, three transactions, two company-accounting locks,
and five agent-reading statements bound to the responsible agent. Zero
unrelated-agent reads, exactly one provider callback per sample, and no
leftover runs or holds. All admission scenarios stay below 250 ms. No
external provider calls are included.
- The partial-usage/delayed-termination fixture passed 20/20: receipt
persistence p95 13 ms, receipt return to observed durable Stop fence p95
28 ms, complete receipt-start-to-fence p95 50 ms, unrelated database
request p95 1 ms while termination was blocked. After releasing the
controlled termination fixture, acknowledgement p95 was 14 ms. These are
separately measured phases; fixture acknowledgement is not live-provider
termination latency.
- Models and provider deadlines are unchanged. No deployment, live
inference, or staging acceptance is claimed. A quiet 30-minute follow-up
waits for the merged revision on staging, then repeats classifier and
controlled budget-stop acceptance in staging, recording hosted
bookkeeping, queue delay, and actual provider acknowledgement
separately.
- Development failures retained: finalizer notification regressions
(fixed; 27/27 affected cases passed), invalid browser admission fixture
assumptions (fixed; browser coverage now passes 63/63), and first-head
lifecycle/dispatch CI regressions (reproduced and repaired). A
prior-head Cases E2E test hit its unchanged announcement-dismiss handler
race while opening a filter; the same journey passed on `1ac9b58`. The
external security review then found a stale-owner race between
accounting commit and provider entry; final verification covers a
competing run in that gap while retaining provider I/O outside the
accounting lock. Early PostgreSQL startup attempts hit local semaphore
pressure; serial reruns succeeded. The final-head Runner lane had one
failure among 1,823 tests: the unchanged `timeout-attachment` fixture
failed at its first process close after 6.28 seconds. The sole same-head
job retry passed all 1,819 active tests (four skipped), including that
fixture in 1.85 seconds. Three isolated local probes could not run
correctly because the Rust fake-provider fixture binary was absent;
cleanup masked the original startup failure. CI builds that fixture
through its normal lane. These probes are inconclusive and are not
counted as passes.

## Risks

- This changes accounting, lifecycle, and cancellation ordering. Durable
generations, source/sequence checks, ownership leases, and company
locking remain required for correctness.
- Provider stop acknowledgement can be slow or fail. Stop intent remains
pending until existing termination proof succeeds; cancelled row status
alone does not acknowledge delivery.
- Mid-run limits depend on provider usage reports or supported price
calculations. Providers that report only at completion cannot provide
exact mid-call detection.
- Signals are process-local wake hints for the supported
single-active-writer model. Durable state and startup recovery remain
authoritative.
- There are no migrations, new queue tables, or cached balances. Repeat
the classifier and controlled budget-stop acceptance after normal
rollout.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, code execution,
and parallel coding agents. The host does not expose the exact backend
model revision or context-window size, so those values are not asserted.

bbcf5dfe98 fix(heartbeat): renew legacy controller leases on a private pool (#17032)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A legacy (non-native) agent run keeps a controller lease on its
`heartbeat_runs` row. The server renews the lease every 10 seconds. If
no renewal succeeds in 60 seconds, the watchdog stops the run with
`renewal_deadline`.
> - #16359 added timings to lease-loss reports. The first staging event
with these timings shows `deadlineLateMs=0`, `renewalPendingMs=50000`,
and 108 renewals in about 22.5 minutes, where about 135 are expected.
Thus the event loop was not blocked. One renewal UPDATE was in flight
for 50 seconds, and renewals were slow for a long time before the loss.
> - The agent had exited with code 0. The run was in post-execution
`sync_back`. Other runs on the same host completed. No code path held a
lock on the run row across slow work. A later `instruction_save` UPDATE
on the same row completed while the earlier renewal was still pending,
so a row-lock wait does not explain the stall.
> - postgres.js 3.4.9 sends a new query to a busy connection when no
connection is idle (`handler` → `go(busy.shift(), query)` in
`src/index.js`). The query waits behind the statement that is in flight
on that connection. The renewal had no timeout, and the `pending` flag
stopped all later renewals. Thus one slow unrelated statement on the
shared pool can stop a healthy run.
> - This pull request moves lease renewal to a small private pool,
bounds each attempt with a statement timeout, and retries a timed-out
attempt until the existing lease deadline.
> - The benefit is that slow application queries on the shared pool can
no longer cancel a healthy legacy run.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16359 (lease-loss timings that identified this cause)
Refs #16358 (pre-dispatch lease loss becomes retryable; different path)
Refs #16917 (open: keeps a clean adapter result after a lease lapsed; it
does not prevent the loss)
Refs #13389 (open: host sleep / late timers; different cause)

**What happened?**
A staging legacy `claude_local` run was cancelled with `Legacy
controller lease lost (renewal_deadline)` after the agent exited with
code 0. The timings show that the deadline timer ran on time, and one
renewal UPDATE was pending for 50 seconds.

**Expected behavior**
A live controller keeps its lease. Slow unrelated database work does not
cancel the run.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a database client with one pooled connection.
2. Start `select pg_sleep(5)` on that client.
3. Call `watchLegacyControllerLease(...).assertOwned()` with the same
client.
4. Before this change, the renewal waits about 5 seconds behind
`pg_sleep`. With a long enough slow statement, the lease deadline stops
the run.

## What Changed

- `packages/db`: Add `livenessDb(db)`. It gives each `createDb` client a
private pool of at most 2 connections
(`application_name=paperclip-controller-lease`). The pool is created on
first use. Test doubles and transactions get the original client back.
- `packages/db`: Add `closeLivenessDb(db, timeoutSeconds)`. The server
calls it in `closeDatabaseClients`, so shutdown and failed startup end
the private pool too.
- `legacy-controller-lease.ts`: The watchdog renews in a transaction on
the private pool. Each attempt sets a transaction-local
`statement_timeout` of 10 seconds. A timed-out attempt (`57014`) is
retried. After a successful retry, the local deadline is measured from
that attempt's start, because that attempt's UPDATE wrote the fresh 60
second lease. The existing 60 second deadline, the abort race, and the
`renewal_rejected` / `renewal_error` attribution do not change.
`renewLegacyControllerLease` itself does not change, so the
runtime-selection caller inside its own transaction is not affected.
- Tests: a saturated shared pool no longer delays renewal; a renewal
that times out on a locked run row retries and keeps the lease; the
private pool is cached per client, has its own `application_name`, and
closes; after a 45 second timed-out attempt and a successful retry, the
next deadline is a full 60 seconds after the retry. The existing test
doubles now model the transaction.
- `docs/deploy/database.md`: Count the up to 2 extra connections per
server process when you size `max_connections`.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/legacy-controller-lease.test.ts`: 20 passed, on embedded
Postgres.
- Red/green: with the old `legacy-controller-lease.ts` and the new
tests, the saturated-pool test fails with `expected 5018 to be less than
2000`. With the fix, it passes.
- Red/green for the retry deadline: with the deadline measured from the
first attempt, the retry-deadline test fails (`expected true to be
false`) because the run is aborted 15 seconds after the retry. With the
fix, it passes.
- Mutation check: when the timeout retry is removed, the locked-row test
fails with `canceling statement due to statement timeout`.
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts -t
"lease|dispatch|controller|interaction"`: 43 passed.
- `npx vitest run src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-orphaned-active-lease-sweep.test.ts`: 53 passed.
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts`:
passed.
- `cd packages/db && npx vitest run src/work-signals.test.ts
src/client-options.test.ts src/client-teardown-registry.test.ts`: 24
passed. `npx tsc --noEmit` for `packages/db` passed.
- Not run locally: the full server `tsc` and the full server suite. The
sandbox has a 4 GB memory limit, and `tsc` was killed (exit 137). CI is
the gate for the server typecheck, the full tests, and the build.

## Risks

- Each server process can open up to 2 more Postgres connections.
Deployments that are at their `max_connections` limit must allow for
them. The docs now say this.
- A renewal attempt is now 4 statements (BEGIN, `set_config`, UPDATE,
COMMIT) instead of 1. Each statement is a short primary-key operation on
a dedicated connection.
- If many runs wait on locked run rows at the same time, renewals for
other runs can queue on the 2 private connections. The 10 second
statement timeout limits each wait, which is less than the 60 second
lease.
- Behavior for a real lease loss does not change. A rejected renewal and
a non-timeout error still stop the run at once, and the 60 second
deadline still applies.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, used through Claude
Code in agent mode with tool use (shell, file edit, and test execution).
A read-only subagent helped with code search.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 8b4ab65b1c Add plugin-owned project storage and task workspaces (#17001)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Tasks can use isolated repository workspaces.
> - Core currently prepares those repositories on its own filesystem.
> - A storage provider may only expose repositories inside remote agent
computers.
> - Project storage and task workspace preparation must have one
provider owner.
> - This pull request adds that contract and keeps execution as a
separate plugin interface.
> - Core keeps authorization, durable task bindings, and lifecycle
fences.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Plugin SDK, project workspace policy, heartbeat preparation, execution
leases, and workspace lifecycle.

**Problem or motivation**

Core cannot prepare a task workspace when its repository storage is
unavailable on the Core host. An execution lease must not be required
just to prepare persistent storage.

**Proposed solution**

Let one plugin provide project resource lifecycle and workspace prepare,
inspect, restore, and remove behavior. Core reserves a task workspace
before it calls the plugin. The plugin returns an opaque durable
reference. The matching execution plugin receives that reference on its
task RPC.

**Alternatives considered**

Preparing repositories on Core would require a provider mount on Core.
Preparing them only during task launch would tie persistent workspace
lifecycle to execution leases and agent availability.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the remote provider model in ROADMAP.md. Related execution
work is in #16978. This PR does not replace that task bridge. Native
execution of managed storage requires the bridge; this change fails
closed when it is absent.

## What Changed

- Add one storage provider declaration with supported modes/strategies,
a capability, a validated RPC contract, and a test harness.
- Persist provider ownership, repository revision, and
execution-workspace identity before external effects. Reconcile retries
with a stable operation ID.
- Prepare provider storage before environment acquisition. Keep Core
filesystem preparation out of this path.
- Pin the durable reference to the matching execution plugin and
validate the lease binding before task dispatch.
- Route inspection, reopen, and removal through the existing lifecycle
process. Keep local data when remote recovery is uncertain.
- Keep the application database pool free during lifecycle locks.
Preserve pending workspace selections, validate source edits before
retirement, and retry unfinished closed storage cleanup.
- Protect provider metadata and live repository sources from caller
edits. Storage edits retire only closed records with confirmed removal;
retired records cannot reopen.

## Verification

- Current head `8214b3ca5`: all 25 provider lifecycle tests pass with
`maxConnections=1`. They cover preparation, inspection, reopening,
removal, a paused provider with responsive ordinary SQL and a competing
source edit, pending selection preservation, rejected source edits,
cleanup retry scheduling, and providers that cache operation results,
and committed cleanup notifications for storage intent and recovered
state.
- Final frozen-tree lifecycle run on `8214b3ca5`: all 318 tests passed
in 10 files, covering workspace services, reopen, compaction, task
binding, project sources, heartbeat preparation, display caching, and
source locks.
- Direct server `tsc --noEmit` passes. The SDK build and all 128 SDK
tests passed during initial verification; later SDK changes are
documentation only.
- Full CI on the previous head `ec5c7209a` passed all 55 applicable
checks; 2 conditional checks skipped. Standard Greptile reviewed current
head `342e6d9c3` at 5/5 with no unresolved threads. All 55 applicable CI
checks passed on `342e6d9c3`; 2 conditional checks skipped. The Slack
browser and CLI startup jobs passed on their single unchanged-head
rerun. Its Apex review returned 4/5 with one pending-restoration issue.
Commit `1b58943b1` reconciles that durable intent before cleanup,
advances the generation without reopening the Core row, and blocks
direct removal or retirement while intent remains unresolved. Standard
Greptile reviewed `1b58943b1` at 5/5 with no new findings. All 54
applicable CI checks passed on `1b58943b1`; 3 conditional checks
skipped. The chat job passed on its single unchanged-head rerun. Apex
then returned 4/5 for a missing cleanup wake after recovery. Commit
`8214b3ca5` atomically registers cleanup intent before storage intent
and recovery-result writes. Its provider test observes real committed
notification hints and the visible advanced generation. Standard
Greptile reviewed `8214b3ca5` at 5/5 with no new findings. All 55
applicable current-head CI checks passed on the first run; 2 conditional
checks skipped. Final Apex verification completed at 5/5 on this exact
head: 38 files reviewed, no new comments, and no unresolved threads. The
PR is ready for review and mergeable.
- The first Apex review found five issues after a standard 5/5:
application-pool starvation, stale pending selections, retirement during
rejected source edits, lost cleanup retries, and reused inspection
identities. Commits `6d72e7fd4` and `342e6d9c3` fix each with regression
coverage. Archive lock waits use dedicated connections, and source edits
fail promptly if the lifecycle is busy. Retirement compares normalized
values. The normalized-source regression initially failed with the
raw-value comparison; after moving the check after normalization, a
clean provider-suite rerun passed all 24 tests at that stage. Those
threads are resolved; the earlier Apex 0/5 is not a passing acceptance
result.
- Earlier local integration attempts could not bind localhost inside the
sandbox. The same suites passed with permission to start local
PostgreSQL.
- The earlier broad local `pnpm test:run` overlapped edits and reported
stale-revision and checkout-path/Git-fixture failures. It was not a
final-tree result. Full CI subsequently passed; the original local
failure remains part of verification history.
- Local repository-wide typecheck/build cannot complete because `cargo`
is unavailable. Direct server TypeScript checks and affected tests pass;
full Rust and build validation comes from CI.
- An earlier browser run on `ff918c5a8` failed in the unchanged
case-filter journey: expected “Done,” received “All statuses,” with an
announcement handler recorded during the assertion. The cause is not
confirmed. [The failed
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39500611857/job/118896954508)
remains verification history. The unchanged shard passed in the next
full CI run on `ec5c7209a`; no UI or fixture change was made.
- Current-head browser shard 2 failed waiting five seconds for the
mocked Slack setup Success heading. This PR changes neither that UI nor
its fixture. [The failed
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39506070513/job/118916021232)
remains verification evidence. The cause is not confirmed; the single
unchanged-shard rerun passed; no UI or fixture change was made, and the
original cause remains unconfirmed.
- The workspace test shard passed its 3,978 general tests, then its CLI
company-import/export fixture timed out after 30 seconds waiting for
startup health before creating any company or workspace. [The failed
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39506070513/job/118916021855)
remains verification history. The child reached external-PostgreSQL
startup without exiting or reporting an exception. Its cause is not
confirmed; the single unchanged-job rerun passed, including the CLI
fixture. No startup or fixture change was made, and the original cause
remains unconfirmed.
- The new cached-removal regression initially failed because its fake
worker advertised availability for unrelated fixture plugins, so another
workspace changed its fake checkout state. Worker availability now
matches the fixture plugin; the complete 25-test provider suite passes.
- On `1b58943b1`, the chat shard timed out polling for one conversation
after an authorized GitHub description edit. [The failed
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39510521657/job/118930193418)
remains evidence. The exact case passes locally against PostgreSQL (1
passed, 1,380 unrelated cases skipped), and this PR changes neither that
test nor its handler. The original cause is unconfirmed; the single
unchanged-job CI rerun passed without a code or fixture change. The
original cause remains unconfirmed.
- The diff was checked for credentials, private references, and
generated artifacts.

## Risks

This is an additive provider contract with no database migration.
Existing projects keep their local behavior unless their policy selects
a storage plugin. A selected provider must be ready and enabled. Unknown
or unsafe cleanup fails closed.

Managed native execution depends on #16978. Core refuses a host Runner
fallback. Providers must fence lifecycle generations, preserve ambiguous
retries, and report remote recovery honestly. Provider-specific live
storage and guest mount qualification remain separate from these Core
contract tests.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6), with repository inspection, code execution, and
tests. The exact model variant was not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip 15176963b1 fix: stop idle skill-source polling (#17008)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and the skills that agents use.
> - Project repositories create durable import jobs, and installed
sources can refresh automatically.
> - The server queried these records every five seconds, even when no
work existed.
> - Idle tenant databases need to stop receiving those discovery
queries.
> - This change uses the existing transaction notifications and delivery
coordinator.
> - Saved refresh, retry, and lease deadlines determine when the worker
runs next.
> - Cloud does not yet wake these deadlines, so outstanding skill work
retains the instance.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Skill-source background synchronization. This continues the idle-work
migrations in #15625 and #17000. A search found no overlapping open
polling-removal PR.

**Current behavior**
On master `b11010b0d4`, startup installs a five-second skill-source
interval and also calls it from the external-object scheduler. Each
sweep queries active companies, import capacity, pending imports, and
automatic refreshes.

**Proposed behavior**
Run at startup, after a relevant transaction settles, or at a saved
deadline. Stay SQL-quiet when no eligible work remains. Preserve import
admission, authorization, atomic claims, retry backoff, and the existing
five-minute upstream check.

**Reason and benefit**
Remove recurring database activity from inactive tenant instances
without requiring new tables or a new scheduler.

## What Changed

- Replace both recurring skill-sync calls with one delivery-coordinator
registration.
- Notify from attachment/detachment, source creation/settings/manual
refresh/disconnection, project/company deletion, and company status
changes, including budget resume.
- Restore the earliest eligible `nextSyncAt` or lease-expiry deadline.
Due backlogs and conflicts retry after five seconds; no idle recovery
cadence remains.
- Admit deferred imports again after a batch frees capacity. Preserve
requests through drain, standby, restart, and commits during a sweep.
- Add sleep-safety predicates for imports and eligible automatic sources
until Cloud supports these deadlines.
- Document the lifecycle and process-local writer contract. No schema or
API changes.
- Guard external test database URLs before migrations or cleanup:
require a `_test` database name and reject database/options overrides.

## Verification

- 147 targeted tests pass: 39 server-startup tests, 14 new
real-PostgreSQL lifecycle tests, 20 shared coordinator/scheduler tests,
63 existing import/refresh/retry regression tests, and 11 test-database
guard cases.
- CI exposed a stale startup mock without the new `start` method. The
fixture is updated and all 39 startup tests pass locally.
- Tests exercise real enqueue/settings/company-reactivation producers,
nested commit, rollback, saved retry/lease restart, manual refresh
failure, capacity admission, concurrent commit, shutdown cancellation,
and SQL quiet after startup or pause.
- Sleep-safety tests reject sleep for future imports and automatic
refreshes, and accept inactive retained state.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass.
- `pnpm test:run` was attempted and stopped after repeated
embedded-PostgreSQL startup failures in unrelated suites. The two
existing import/refresh suites initially skipped for the same host
limitation; after adding explicit disposable-database options, all 63
regression tests passed against PostgreSQL 17. Full CI passed on
`ddb3ee51369baa8c7153bae9fd88efb8b903f2bc`: 55 successful checks, one
neutral review check, and two intentional skips.

## Risks

- Notifications are process-local. Independent SQL writers and separate
live replicas do not wake this worker; startup reconstructs persisted
work.
- Enabled automatic sources still contact GitHub every five minutes.
Their upstream changes have no event ingress here.
- Cloud scheduled wakes currently cover routines and issue monitors, not
skill sync. This change retains instances with outstanding skill
obligations. It does not claim measured host/database suspension or
fleet savings.
- No change to source authorization, installed content on failure, or
existing claim semantics.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, and code
execution. The host does not expose an exact model revision or
context-window size to this session.

DottaandPaperclip 505e1a5582 feat(cases): add persistent workflows with same-task agent handoffs (#16959)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - An agent workflow needs persistent facts and a safe way to transfer
work.
> - Creating a task for each phase splits the objective, discussion,
workspace, and review policy.
> - A case can retain the facts while one primary task moves between
agents.
> - Transfers must survive process failure and preserve private access,
budgets, and completion gates.
> - This pull request adds durable case handoffs, native case tools, and
read-only case pages.
> - Prompts describe the workflow. Existing task controls decide when
work can run and finish.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

Prompt-driven agent teams need a persistent record that can move through
triage, implementation, verification, and correction. Ordinary
reassignment does not provide a durable instruction, safe release
barrier, or recoverable delivery receipt for an agent handing off its
own running task.

**Proposed solution**

Extend standalone cases with one primary task, a descriptive phase,
retained access sources, and a handoff ledger. Apply assignments after
source execution and workspace settlement. Deliver each transfer through
the existing durable wake queue. Provide `create_case`, `read_case`,
`update_case`, and `handoff_case` in the native runner. Creation
requires kickoff and explicit workflow text. An explicit handoff to
`done` closes the case when normal task completion is accepted.

**Alternatives considered**

Do not add a workflow engine, filesystem queue, configured state graph,
or one task per phase. The workflow document combines transition prose
with an optional Mermaid `stateDiagram-v2` map. The server does not
execute the diagram. The Pipelines experiment removed on master stays
removed.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends Agent Reviews and Approvals, Enforced Outcomes, Bounded Run
Recovery, and Activity Log attribution. Existing approval, review,
budget, privacy, workspace, and responsible-user rules remain
authoritative.

Related work: [ordinary handoff wake
recovery](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/15019). This
feature adds a separate persisted case-handoff receipt and release
barrier.

## What Changed

- Add case routing fields, retained access sources, durable handoff
history, delivery leases, and replay-safe migrations.
- Keep the same primary task across agent phases. Preserve each
returning agent's own session and the task's workspace.
- Fence outgoing mutations, wait for provider and workspace release, and
recover delivery without duplicate task comments or runs. Recheck
current assignment permissions as the original caller before applying a
delayed transfer. Scope a run Stop to that run’s own handoff intents, so
repeated old Stop requests preserve newer work. Cancelling terminal
intent without a source run also requires fenced current task ownership,
including native retries and preparation with an old checkout. For Cloud
callers, revalidate current stack membership with an uncached Cloud RPC
and derive owner elevation from the current managed setting.
- Keep case reads, documents, assets, Audit, and live events inside
retained task/project permissions.
- Add native case creation/read/update/handoff tools. Store required
workflow text and initial documents on the first task. Page oversized
case facts and referenced document bodies through the dedicated tool
with bounded UTF-8 JSON, current routing versions, snapshot conflicts,
and current source authorization on every page.
- Add read-only case lists and detail pages, task-style list controls,
compact dotted field tables, linked handoff tasks, and case filters in
Audit.
- Add native/legacy integration tests, migration/restart tests, browser
coverage, and bounded live receipt fixtures. Extend the trusted sandbox
condition to cover the new subscription fixture profile.
- Hide obsolete paused-agent warnings on completed or cancelled task
threads.
- Synchronize the company-switch settings test with React effects after
a CI failure. Preserve its security assertions and production remount
behavior.

## Verification

The branch directly includes master `9ef434fe79`. The required `ci /
verify` and `ci / e2e` gates pass on head `765fccd67c`. [Current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39464348614)
passes typecheck, build, tests, and all eight browser shards. Security
checks pass. [Greptile gives this exact head
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/16959#issuecomment-6291156549),
with no unresolved review threads. The optional Paperclip Review check
remains queued because its assigned agent is paused. It is not a
required branch check. No check result was overridden.

Local workspace typecheck and build pass after the master merge, along
with database migration checks, token gates, map checks, Storybook
catalog checks, and the Copilot profile identity check. Standard builds
refresh Runner vendor output. Focused checks pass 2,008
API/paging/context tests and 7 strict case protocol tests. The final
commit changes one test fixture only; its ten tests, UI typecheck, and
token gates pass. No production source changed in that commit.

On current head `765fccd67c`, all **194 critical workflow tests**
executed and passed with no skipped tests in those files:

- 38 Stop/ownership tests, including board completion intent, native
retries, stale Stop, and preparation with an old checkout.
- 2 actual legacy process/HTTP handoff tests, including scratch failure,
a closed-stdio child that continues writing, and recovery through a
fresh worker after the process group stops.
- 5 migration tests, including SQL column metadata, preserved null
authority context, and all six prior-numbering receipts.
- 3 process-settlement and 5 scratch tests.
- 88 handoff-service, 18 heartbeat handoff, and 21 native case-tool
integration tests.
- 7 bounded case/document-read projection tests and 7 strict
protocol-contract tests.

The current CI checkout was `fed65d49`, merging `765fccd67c` into master
`9ef434fe79`. Its new document regressions reconstruct exact
Unicode/escaped bodies and revisions through real native authority and
authenticated HTTP with generic API tools disabled. They cover
case-owned, primary-task, and linked-task documents; routing on every
page; stale document snapshots; access loss and unlinking;
unrelated/foreign/private sources; system documents; and quarantined
content. Active-task document tools retain their existing behavior.
These are current-head test results from the first CI attempt; the
browser-only retry did not rerun these suites.

The full `64fdd3403f` CI failed one separate settings test: after a
company switch, it observed an unsettled API-key draft. The production
component and test were unchanged from prior green source. Production
switches remount both keyed settings layers; the test directly reused an
unkeyed view and used a timer tick instead of waiting for React effects.
The final commit replaces that fixture synchronization with React `act`.
The exact secret-clearing assertions and all timeouts remain unchanged.
The original assertion failure remains recorded; no unchanged retry was
used. The narrow unchanged baseline and fixed fixture each pass 10
tests.

The upstream result-paging merge preserves case capture namespaces and
current asset privacy. Its API integration suite executed 39 of 41 tests
successfully, with two skipped; the optional assigned-result PRP
integration test was skipped. Neither skipped suite is counted in the
194 critical tests or as live provider proof.

All 361 upstream migration entries and SQL bodies remain unchanged. Six
case migrations follow master as 0363–0368 with identical SQL hashes.
Official Drizzle generators produced the combined metadata and five
retained snapshots. Generation reports no schema changes, and the
snapshot drift test passes. The earlier `ce361ae5d0` CI passed on
attempt 1, including its then-current 179 critical tests. Fresh review
later identified unusable document references with generic API tools
disabled; the bounded document reads and ten additional authenticated
HTTP tests address that finding.

The full local `pnpm test:run` attempt was cancelled after this Mac
exhausted PostgreSQL semaphore capacity; it is **not** counted as a
pass. Later database attempts also stopped before assertions or skipped,
including one sandbox socket denial. Two original stale-Stop regressions
did reproduce the bug against the old source. A REST serialization
assertion passed after two preserved database-startup failures. No test
timeout was increased. All 194 assertions listed above executed and
passed in current-head CI. The complete 385-file, 3,963-test UI shard
also passed after the fixture repair.

A configured-provider receipt workflow passed 13 backend checks across
triage → implementation → verification → correction → done, using one
task and four work runs. The saved receipt is revision 2 with total 6
USD; case and task both closed. The original canonical attempt remains
failed because its browser assertion confused the terminal destination
with completed-task tooltips. The corrected full browser verifier passed
on the same retained database and original runs, with no additional
provider calls. The last clean-build browser readback is on
`6a86c54a53`; later changes affect recovery, authorization, bounded
reads, and settlement. Accounted work cost is a $1.010574 rate-card
estimate; provider billing and setup-probe usage are unavailable.

Copilot profile 49 passed the unchanged seven-fixture private protocol
pack (46/46 checks, no retries) and the product file-edit canary after
master's completion-replay change. All 60 bound implementation hashes
remain unchanged on the current source. Historical profile-47/48
identities and results remain intact. See the [profile-49 compatibility
record](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/codex/persistent-case-handoffs/doc/plans/2026-10-20-copilot-completion-recovery-compatibility-v49.json).
This is bounded compatibility evidence, not a fresh full matrix,
installed-package product test, or Daytona rollout.

Preserved CI failures and retries:

- On `20662930ac`, Slack managed setup failed a five-second success
assertion after reload. Its test/application path was unchanged from a
prior green head. One unchanged-source retry passed all 25 tests in that
shard; no source or timeout changed.
- On `9402b4f17a`, two CI workers received shutdown signals at 15:24:19
UTC. Neither log had an assertion failure before interruption. One
unchanged-source retry of each passed all Runner static checks and all
32 tests in browser shard 6; both aggregates passed. The next head,
`7b4374edaf`, passed all CI without retries.
- On `295f289b5a`, serialized shard 9 timed out during its first
device-login test, then the next test found an active login lease.
Direct login/test paths were unchanged from a prior green head. Cold
import plus a timed-out async body using the next test's mutable
actor/store is the supported fixture-race explanation; no request trace
proves that sequence. The original failure remains recorded. One
unchanged-source retry passed all 294 tests in 19 files, including all
41 device-login tests. No login source or timeout changed. The
subsequent `ce361ae5d0` CI passed without retries.
- On `64fdd3403f`, one company-switch settings assertion observed an
unsettled draft. The final test-only commit uses React `act` without
changing assertions, timeouts, or production code. On `765fccd67c`, all
ten settings tests and the complete 385-file, 3,963-test UI shard
passed.
- On `765fccd67c`, browser shard 3 completed the split-handoff
assertions, then cleanup received HTTP 500 from run cancellation after a
one-second PostgreSQL row-lock timeout. The extra chat run was reporting
completed work while teardown began. Cleanup stopped before restoring a
global experiment flag, causing a later assertion to fail. Relevant
production and test paths are unchanged from an earlier green commit.
Stop's lock order is consistent, and no nested self-lock was found; the
exact PostgreSQL blocker was not recorded. One unchanged-shard retry
passed. The original failure, trace, and downstream flag failure remain
recorded. No Stop implementation, cleanup assertion, or timeout changed.
The retry supports intermittent cleanup contention; it does not identify
the original blocking transaction.


## Risks

- Local process transfers require host-owned PID/group absence. Missing
or uncertain termination evidence keeps delivery pending, independently
of scratch setup.
- Handoff admission and task cancellation share execution ownership. New
regression tests cover temporary holds, late source writes, and
uncertain provider termination.
- Retained private sources use an intersection of existing permissions.
This intentionally fails closed when a source is missing or an existing
task cannot preserve that boundary.
- Migrations add tables and indexes. They preserve master history and
can replay over prior feature installs. Migration 0368 adds nullable
internal authorization provenance with no default or authority backfill.
Historical transfers still awaiting release without this context fail
closed; an operator must cancel them and request a new handoff.
- Delayed Cloud handoffs depend on the current Cloud membership RPC. An
unavailable, ambiguous, expired, or mismatched response holds the
handoff for retry; it does not reuse cached authority or grant access.
- Bounded reads reload and reauthorize the selected projection per page.
Underlying work grows with the data size and number of pages. Changed
data or routing requires restarting from offset zero without the old
snapshot.
- Phase names and workflow diagrams remain advisory. They do not satisfy
review or approval gates.
- This is a large, cross-cutting PR. The maintainer requested one PR for
the whole feature; the commits separate data, runtime, UI, and
qualification work.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with tool use, code execution, and delegated
code review. The exact deployment model ID and context-window size were
not exposed in the session. Live fixture agents used the explicitly
configured provider model recorded in their test evidence.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 1f3695ac67 fix: expire native session failover backups after their issues close (#16866)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native agent sessions that run in a remote sandbox keep a host-side
failover copy of the sandbox's harness state, so a replacement sandbox
can resume the conversation
> - Each session keeps that copy forever, and one copy can reach several
gigabytes
> - On a busy instance these copies fill the volume, and no existing
cleanup touches them
> - Once a session's work is closed, its copy matters only if someone
reopens that work later
> - This pull request expires the copy after the session's issues have
been closed for a configurable window, and makes a reopened issue start
a fresh session
> - The benefit is bounded disk use without breaking active,
recoverable, or leased sessions

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Bug report described in-PR (bug report template).

**What happened?**
After every remote turn, `checkpointRemoteRunner` writes the sandbox's
runner state and provider session home (for example `codex-home`) to
`durable-sessions/<scope>/failover-backups/current`. Only the same
session's next checkpoint replaces it. No code path deletes a session's
copy when the session ends, its issue closes, or its agent goes away, so
the instance volume fills. On one instance:
- 246 sessions held 17 GB of copies, 84 of them older than a week;
- 24 new sessions added 5 GB in a single day, one copy alone 3.2 GB.

**Expected behavior**
Disk used by failover copies stays bounded. A copy is kept while its
session can still resume (open issue, live run, pending recovery, or
live lease), and expires once the session's issues have been closed for
a while. A reopened issue then starts a fresh native session, instead of
failing with `runner_harness_backup_unavailable` on a replacement
sandbox.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run agents with a native runtime in a remote sandbox environment.
2. Let them complete many issues.
3. Watch
`<instance>/runtime/paperclip-runner/durable-sessions/*/failover-backups/current`
grow without bound after the issues close.

**Paperclip version or commit:** `master` at 9179d8dcc3.
**Deployment mode:** server with remote sandbox environments.
**Agent adapter(s) involved:** not adapter-specific (core bug); observed
with Codex sessions.

**Breaking changes**
- Reopening an issue that has been closed for longer than the window
(default 7 days) starts a fresh agent session instead of resuming the
old conversation.
- Disable with
`PAPERCLIP_NATIVE_HARNESS_BACKUP_EXPIRATION_ENABLED=false`, or lengthen
the window with `PAPERCLIP_NATIVE_HARNESS_BACKUP_EXPIRATION_DAYS`.

## What Changed

-
**`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-backup-expiration.ts`
(new):** the sweep. It checks at most 200 sessions and expires at most
50 per batch, continuing from a cursor. A copy expires only when all of
these hold:
- every issue the session ran on is `done` or `cancelled`, closed before
the window;
  - the copy was written before the window;
  - no run of the session is queued, running, or unfinished;
- every native run finalization of the session is settled (`committed`
or `terminal_failure`), with no recovery state or lease owner;
- no `active`, `released`, `retained`, or `pending_cleanup` environment
lease references the copy (by backup stamp, session run, or recorded
lease);
- the session is not executing, initializing, warm, or closing in this
process, and its directory has no pending cleanup activation.
- **One transaction:** the database checks share-lock the issues and
delete the agent task session that points at the session, so a reopened
issue cannot resume the expired session.
- **Atomic, non-blocking removal:** the copy is renamed to
`failover-backups/.retiring-<UUID>`, and a final check looks for a run
of the session. If one appeared, or the check throws, the rename is
undone. Only a confirmed copy becomes `.expired-<UUID>` and is deleted
with asynchronous file operations, so a multi-gigabyte removal does not
block the event loop. A later sweep restores an unconfirmed
`.retiring-*` copy when `current` is missing, drops it when a newer
`current` exists, and finishes an interrupted deletion. The rest of the
session directory is kept.
- **`native-session-executor.ts`:** exports
`nativeSessionScopeDigestIsBusy`, which checks the in-process executing,
initializing, warm, and closing session maps.
- **`native-harness-backup-stamp.ts`:** exports the state base path the
sweep scans.
- **`config.ts` and `index.ts`:** three environment controls
(`_ENABLED`, `_DRY_RUN`, `_DAYS`) and the scheduled sweep. It starts two
minutes after boot, honors shutdown, standby, and idle drain, and logs
candidates, reclaimed bytes, cleared task sessions, and skip reasons.
- **Docs:** `doc/recoverable-disk-cleanup.md` describes the sweep;
`doc/DEVELOPING.md` lists the variables.
- No code comments were added.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/native-harness-backup-expiration.test.ts
src/__tests__/native-harness-backup-expiration-config.test.ts` (in
`server/`): 30 passed, 24 of them against embedded Postgres plus 6
config tests. Cases:
- expiry for done and cancelled issues, including clearing the task
session;
- each keep condition: open issue, recently closed, live run, pending
finalization, recovery in progress, live lease, recent copy, cleanup
activation, in-process session;
  - settled finalizations and expired leases do not block;
  - dry run changes nothing;
  - bounded batches continue across ticks;
- an interrupted deletion is finished, and an unconfirmed retiring copy
is restored or dropped;
  - the configured clock controls the closed window.
- **Mutation checks:** treating `in_progress` as closed, ignoring live
leases, ignoring the configured clock, or not restoring a retiring copy
each fail the corresponding tests.
- `pnpm exec vitest run native-harness-backup config` (in `server/`): 19
files, 293 tests passed.
- `pnpm run typecheck` (in `server/`): pass.
- **Real server:** after building and bundling,
`scripts/server-boot-smoke.sh node server/dist-runtime/index.mjs`
reached healthy.
- **Manual equivalent on a live instance:** applying these checks by
hand (with a 3-day window) to 242 copies freed 7.1 GB. Most of the
remainder belonged to open issues or live leases.

## Risks

- **Reopen after the window:** the agent starts a fresh session and
loses the old conversation's provider history. Issue comments,
documents, and work products are unaffected.
- **Race with a wake:** the checks share-lock the issues, so a reopen
waits for the transaction. A run created for the session between commit
and rename is caught by the post-rename check, which restores the copy.
Such a run would find no task session and start fresh.
- **Missing owner run:** if the owning run row is gone (for example,
after an agent was deleted), the copy is kept, because the sweep cannot
prove the session is closed.
- **Untouched:** quarantined session roots and `continuity-breaks`
archives are not touched by this change.
- **Rollback:** set
`PAPERCLIP_NATIVE_HARNESS_BACKUP_EXPIRATION_ENABLED=false`, or revert.
Expired copies cannot be restored.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), 1M context, through Claude Code
with tool use (shell, file edits, local builds, tests and boots,
read-only measurements on a live instance).

DottaandPaperclip 016e40d532 fix(recovery): preserve shutdown export ownership through finalizer drain (#16843)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Legacy adapters must save sandbox files before Paperclip releases
their source.
> - Graceful shutdown gave each adapter a shared 30-second settlement
wait.
> - When that wait ended, cleanup could stop the sandbox while the
adapter still exported files.
> - That race created a restore failure and blocked the next turn.
> - This pull request keeps export ownership through the finalizer drain
and renews its cleanup fence.
> - A successful late export can release its source and schedule one
bounded continuation.

Refs #15857. This corrects the timeout path introduced by the shutdown
settlement fence.
Refs #16478. That repair clears verified historical holds; this change
prevents an active export from losing its source.
Refs #16835. That merged fix handles remote native runner ownership.
This change handles legacy shutdown settlement.

## What Changed

- Keep a late adapter settlement in the shared execution finalizer set.
Wait for it before lease release, recovery classification, and retry
scheduling.
- Renew the exact owned settlement fence every 10 seconds. Use a
30-second lease, one renewal in flight, a one-second database lock
timeout, and a five-second statement timeout. Report bounded failure
categories without raw database errors or credentials.
- Refuse ordinary cleanup while the local adapter still owns settlement.
Preserve the explicit owner stop-and-retain path.
- Give the finalizer drain a further shared 30-second wait after the
initial shutdown drain.
- Document the ownership rule, the acceptance recipe, and the
controller-loss limit.

## Verification

- Red before the repair: the database-backed expired-wait regression
expected cleanup denial but received permission to stop the still-owned
source.
- Green on `615a4382c5`: all 526 tests in `recovery.test.ts`,
`legacy-workspace-restore-recovery.test.ts`, `shutdown.test.ts`, and
`heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` passed.
- The assembled heartbeat regression passed. It verifies no early
release or retry, joining the late owner, successful cleanup, one
durable scheduled continuation, and no duplicate after service reload.
- Safety coverage includes other-controller fencing, controller loss,
exact source retention, stop-only cancellation, completion winning the
status race, and real database lock contention during renewal.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`
passed on the final source revision.
- A broad local `pnpm test:run` crossed the rebase and reported eight
companion supervision failures. It was stopped and its log retained. The
complete companion file then passed all 753 tests on current source.
This is not a passing full local suite; current-head CI covers the
complete repository checks.
- The 34 recovery tests include real lock-timeout classification and
credential-shaped error redaction.
- Current-head CI: 53 checks passed; two optional Storybook checks
skipped. Greptile is 5/5 on `615a4382c5`; no unresolved review threads.
- Live sandbox acceptance remains unverified. Three disposable
local-controller/Daytona attempts used legacy Codex ACP, `gpt-6-astra`,
API-key authentication, and the verified image
`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:a2bd08cefb68d9217bdd75cf87a6b51f1705b18a4796eff3f97b2726a548b8fb`.
ACP initialization exited before model execution on macOS Node 26.4.0
and again on Node 24.21.0; one attempt exposed a local process-session
socket `ECONNRESET`. That does not establish the transport failure's
root cause. No attempt reached the delayed export or second turn, so
this PR remains draft pending faithful live acceptance. Probe setup
defects were retained separately from product failures, and all
test-owned sandboxes were cleaned up.

## Risks

- Shutdown can spend up to 30 more seconds joining finalizers. The
shipped Compose stop grace remains 90 seconds.
- Renewal adds at most one database operation per owned run every 10
seconds during shutdown. Lock and statement deadlines bound database
contention. The local adapter still protects its source if renewal
fails.
- Controller death or an export that outlives the whole process still
needs retained-source repair. This change does not reconstruct a legacy
export after process death or clear historical failed-restore holds.
- No schema or public API changes. Native restart ownership, approval
gates, and retry limits retain their existing behavior.
- This PR has not been deployed. It does not recover an existing
retained sandbox by itself.

DottaandPaperclip 51c81d0129 feat(sentry): link run errors to task and run pages (#16803)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators use Sentry to inspect run and server failures.
> - Reports identify the run and task, but the existing links open API
records.
> - Operators need a direct path from an error to the normal task and
run pages.
> - This change adds navigation links through the shared server Sentry
hook.
> - Saved company and task records determine the links. A failed lookup
preserves the error report.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related work: #16300 added saved run API references.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Sentry event context for run failures, Stop timeouts, and server errors
from an authenticated agent run.

**Current behavior**

Reports show task and run UUIDs. The existing run URL opens an API
record. The operator must find the normal task page separately.

**Proposed behavior**

Add `task_url`, `run_url`, and `task_identifier` tags when saved run
metadata is available. Add `taskUrl` and `runPageUrl` to the event
context. Use the company prefix and saved task identifier in normal
board URLs.

**Reason and benefit**

An operator can open the task or run directly from the error report.

## What Changed

- Add a shared Sentry hook for events with a known run identity.
- Read only the saved company prefix, task identifier, and run identity.
Keep the lookup within the recorded company and agent.
- Include authenticated run identity on request errors. Use the existing
run identity on Stop errors.
- Bound optional lookups to one second and eight unfinished reads.
Preserve the original event on failure.
- Keep the existing API references and error grouping.
- Document the fields and add SDK, timeout, and company-boundary
coverage.

## Verification

- Passed: `pnpm -r typecheck` and the final server TypeScript check.
- Passed: `pnpm build`.
- Passed: 332 tests across the affected server suites, plus 25 final
link and real Sentry SDK tests after review fixes. The SDK test checks
outgoing event envelopes for run failures, request errors, and Stop
errors. It checks that unrelated errors receive no links. The database
test verifies saved metadata and company boundaries. It passes with
embedded PostgreSQL and with an explicitly configured disposable test
database.
- Passed in CI on `bec0cdac853efdef71041d59a66261941827653e`: the full
test matrix, typecheck, build, Runner checks, browser suites, and the
real Sentry SDK contract. All 56 active checks pass. Two Storybook jobs
are skipped.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` attempt first failed because PostgreSQL
library links were missing. The package setup script repaired the
install. The affected database suites then passed. The repaired full
local run was stopped after all CI test jobs passed; it did not complete
locally.
- Greptile: 5/5 on the final commit. All three review threads are
resolved.
- Read-only browser inspection confirms that Sentry displays context URL
values with an Open link control.
- No live test event was posted. Validation uses the real SDK with an
in-memory transport.

## Risks

- A slow or unavailable database can prevent optional links. It does not
discard the error. At most eight unfinished lookups can remain active.
- Missing or unsafe public origins omit the links. URLs longer than the
tag limit remain in context.
- This change applies to newly captured events. It does not update
existing Sentry events.
- The change adds no schema, permission, or first-party Telemetry
contract change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, `gpt-6.1-sol`, xhigh reasoning, with tool use and code
execution. The exact context window is not exposed in the session
metadata.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 4415665d67 fix(server): allow proved idle waits and verify historical cleanup (#16633)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents, task continuations, integrations, and
their execution resources.
> - Automatic idle sleep needs durable evidence that accepted work and
provider cleanup are settled.
> - Response-driven questions, passive board escalations, and completed
connection receipts currently look like unfinished work.
> - Legacy ephemeral leases and terminal image sessions need actual
deletion proof before their history can become idle.
> - This PR adds narrow evidence-based exceptions and read-only provider
verification while preserving queues, outcomes, and ownership fences.
> - Idle instances can sleep without losing responses, automatic
reconciliation, or cleanup obligations.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Instances with no executable work can remain awake because pending human
responses, passive recovery records, outbound integration configuration,
or completed delivery history are counted as background work. Older
failed ephemeral leases and finished setup sessions also lack the
evidence needed to distinguish retained resources from deleted
allocations.

**Expected behavior**

Permit idle sleep only for proved response-driven waits and settled
history. Continue blocking real queued work, inbound integrations
without a wake contract, unfinished accounting/retries, retained
resources, and uncertain provider cleanup.

**Steps to reproduce**

Finish an issue's producing run, leave a pending question or
confirmation, and request an owned scheduled idle report. Separately
retain a processed connection receipt or a failed ephemeral lease whose
provider allocation has already been deleted. The old checks keep those
instances awake even after executable work has finished.

Related public groundwork: #15522, #15599, #15761, #15897, #15907, and
#16325. Searched existing public idle-sleep PRs; this addresses
additional blockers in the current predicates.

## What Changed

- Recognize supported response-driven waits and passive board recoveries
without changing task state, response audiences, or continuation
policies. Bind passive issue generation into routine-only alarms too.
Keep automatically polled merge-confirmation cards awake.
- Treat processed events, delivered intents, disabled drafts, and
outbound MCP configuration as history/configuration where proved safe.
Preserve pending deliveries, downstream wake requests, and inbound
GitHub bindings.
- Permit only pristine Slack setup drafts with a matching disabled
channel connection, no provisioning registration, and no prior provider
identity/activity. A saved slash-command name remains inert
configuration.
- Repair missed routine execution-issue status hooks in bounded
awake-only maintenance. Lock and re-read exact owners, apply existing
completion/transient-failure rules, and preserve normal continuation
after an issue resumes.
- Allow human-only connection setup to wait only when no reusable active
connection of its purpose exists; available access reblocks sleep for
reconciliation. The delivery worker shares this proof, releases its
local idle hold, and retains maintenance only while already awake.
Passive-only ticks pause before admission during an owned drain,
allowing slow backups to finish; new producer notifications still
reconcile and invalidate the backup.
- Add optional `environmentInspectLease` SDK discovery/dispatch and
read-only Daytona/fake-provider implementations. Old workers remain
conservative. Daytona status inspection uses a fresh provider GET
without reconnecting or poisoning unused-worker eligibility.
- Bind historical credential reads to an unrotated initial secret
version and its immutable resolved-value hash; reject ambiguous
histories and ambient Daytona credential/API-endpoint fallbacks before
querying provider state.
- Verify bounded rotating batches of historical resources on
already-awake Cloud instances, outside readiness. Store host-owned
deletion evidence bound to exact row identity/version and reject
concurrent ownership changes. Preserve failure outcomes, cleanup/export
intents, and run continuation authority.
- Preserve cancellation provenance, defer contended routine rows
individually, and cap actual inspection RPCs across caller timeouts and
worker exits. Add database, SDK, provider, configuration-scope, and race
regression coverage and update idle protocol documentation.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed on `24fd1c0f5ec`; server
typecheck/build passed again after the final coordinator-only fix in
`60f23e6e4b6`.
- Final server regressions: 258 sleep-safety/connection cases and all 17
coordinator cases passed. Earlier focused checks also covered 331
combined idle/cleanup cases, 34 custom-image cases, 39
credential/cleanup cases, 39 connection-history cases, and 80 existing
routine cases. Counts overlap and are not additive.
- SDK: 153 passed. Daytona: 406 passed with 14 existing opt-in skips.
The provider implementation also typechecks against the locked SDK used
by the Cloud wrapper.
- Dependency boundaries were exercised with real child workers holding
provider inspection replies beyond caller timeouts, a real PostgreSQL
row lock delaying one routine owner, and real connection creation →
queue notification → worker hold release → resumption after access is
enabled without another notification. A controlled six-second backup
goes through the real coordinator, task drain, work signals, and
idle-safety generation checks; maintenance permits completion, while a
new committed transaction invalidates it.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` completed its general-server phase with
21,122 passing, 29 failing, and 109 skipped tests; later phases did not
run. That long run spanned source edits and is not a final-revision
pass. The affected Slack draft assertion passes on current source.
Restoring `/usr/sbin` for `lsof` produced 233 passing tests and two
Git-fixture failures across the other five files (3 existing skips).
Both remaining assertions pass with command-scoped
`init.defaultBranch=master`; this host defaults to main and leaves both
branches in their fixture. No source/global Git setting changed for that
comparison. Original failure logs are retained.
- A parallel typecheck/build attempt raced generated Runner outputs and
failed an import. Running the build sequentially passed with no source
change.
- Local database checks use the maintained test-constructor seam with
native PostgreSQL 16.14 because bundled PostgreSQL 18 is unreliable on
this host. No database assertions were skipped in the focused runs. An
interrupted combined run was superseded by the separate passing
coordinator and safety/connection runs; no owned test database processes
remain running.
- Apex reviewed final head `60f23e6e4b615a08591e19d86443a6c35c091ce1`:
**5/5**, zero unresolved threads. All current-head CI gates are green,
with expected policy skips. The branch is conflict-free and GitHub
reports a clean merge state.
- Current-head CI initially failed `plan-task-fixture.spec.ts:66` during
fixture deletion: the final company DELETE hit
`activity_log_company_id_companies_id_fk` after the feature assertions
completed. The deletion path is unchanged here; the final diff only
changes drain-gated passive maintenance. The preceding revision passed
this shard. Failure evidence is retained in [the original CI
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39006936642/job/117321244396);
the targeted retry passed on the unchanged commit ([retry
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39006936642/job/117322535013)).
This shows recovery, not that the underlying company-deletion race is
resolved.
- These checks do not claim staging/production deployment or live
provider cleanup proof. Provider tests simulate responses. Full Cloud
staging verification requires a compatible Core/private-plugin
composition after the Core revision is on master.

## Risks

Sleep eligibility changes require the existing owned drain, final
generation validation, local-work checks, and plugin drain. Unsupported
states fail closed. Queued agent input and routine execution remain
blocked. Outbound MCP exemptions exclude inbound GitHub grants; other
unsupported inbound integrations remain awake.

The inspection RPC is optional and requires a matching live worker
method. Its actual outstanding calls are capped at two across workers
even after the caller times out. Historical lease inspection requires
its recorded plugin/config; setup inspection requires an unchanged
recorded config fingerprint. Not-found under replacement account
credentials is not historical deletion proof: ambiguous/rotated secret
histories defer verification, and initial-version reads must match their
recorded value hashes. Missing provenance (including legacy image
sessions without a recorded config fingerprint), live/stopped resources,
provider authorization failures, and concurrent changes defer
verification. Routine repair replays existing
completion/transient-failure behavior and timestamps at reconciliation
time; it does not execute or discard deferred comments. No migration or
destructive provider operation is added. The new marker does not grant
run-resume authority. Full Cloud staging validation requires a
compatible Core/private-plugin composition; no production deployment is
included.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 78b833c495 Dispatch routine and monitor work at saved deadlines (#16514)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work that agents run for a company.
> - Routines and issue monitors store their next run time in the
database.
> - The app currently waits for the heartbeat interval to find that
work.
> - This can delay work after a workspace wakes before its saved
deadline.
> - This pull request uses the existing work coordinator to schedule
each known deadline.
> - It also parses each cron expression once, so sparse schedules do
less work on the event loop.
> - Agents can start due work sooner while the existing execution checks
stay in place.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Routine and issue-monitor dispatch depends on the heartbeat scan
interval. A workspace can wake early and still wait for the next scan. A
sparse cron search also parses the same expression for every minute it
checks. In a local annual-schedule test, the deadline callback ran on
time but schedule calculation delayed the routine record by 13.6
seconds.

**Expected behavior**

Use a saved future deadline to request the existing dispatch scan.
Restore deadlines at startup and update them after a producer
transaction settles. Do not let future timers keep an idle workspace
active. Parse a cron expression once for each search.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Set an active routine and an assigned issue monitor to the same
future deadline.
2. Choose a deadline between heartbeat scans. Use an annual routine
expression to exercise a sparse search.
3. Compare the saved deadline with the routine firing and agent start
times.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Source checkout based on c7ea5c0216.

Related public changes: #16215 reports routine deadlines for external
wake. #8034 caches time-zone formatters in the cron search. This change
reuses those contracts.

## What Changed

- Register separate routine and issue-monitor workers with the existing
delivery coordinator after startup housekeeping.
- Restore the earliest eligible future deadline from the database after
each scan.
- Notify the matching worker when routine or monitor writes settle,
including the native `set_task_monitor` tool. Keep the heartbeat
interval as a recovery scan for blocked or externally written work.
- Retain the scan-start cutoff so a deadline crossed during a slow scan
receives an immediate follow-up scan.
- Retain the coordinator gates for standby, idle drain, and shutdown.
Future timers do not count as active work. Bound expired deadline
retries during idle reconciliation so a paused worker cannot spin.
- Parse a cron expression once during a next-run search. Skip impossible
UTC dates before time-zone formatting. Preserve the existing calendar
and time-zone matching.
- Add clock, transaction, failure, SQL eligibility, and producer
notification tests. Document the scheduler behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- Full CI, browser tests, and security scan: passed on final head
9fc857dcec. Greptile Apex is 5/5 with no
unresolved comments.
- Final focused startup, deadline, routine, SQL eligibility, native
monitor, cron, and coordinator tests: 159 passed across seven suites.
The crossed-deadline and native-notification regressions failed before
their fixes.
- CI caught the existing startup suppression assertion. It failed
locally before restoring the outer timer-dispatch guard; all 38 startup
tests now pass.
- A canceled-drain regression also failed before the fix. Future timers
keep their saved time; only expired deadlines use the bounded idle
retry. Server typecheck and build passed again.
- The idle-drain regression reproduced 22 checks in 20 ms before its
fix. After the fix, 43 coordinator and related worker tests passed.
Server typecheck and build passed again after the review fixes.
- The broad local `pnpm test:run` attempt reported existing
host-sensitive failures. Two Git fixture tests fail identically on
unchanged c7ea5c0 because the host default `main` leaves an extra branch
in an intended master-only remote. Both pass with a command-scoped
`init.defaultBranch=master` setting. No Git settings were changed on
disk.
- A diagnostics test also fails on both unchanged master and this branch
because its broad `private` substring assertion matches the canonical
macOS temporary source path in an error stack. A local Anthropic hire
assertion failed only in the broad run; all 70 tests in that file pass
on both source revisions when run separately. Its broad-run cause is not
determined. These failures remain recorded. The full exact-head CI
matrix passed; the broad local development attempt was then stopped.
- An earlier full run was interrupted after PostgreSQL reported host
shared-memory exhaustion. One retry was stopped when timing required the
UTC optimization. Acceptance then used an owned database on the existing
local PostgreSQL service. No shared services were stopped or reset.
- Local dispatch: routine record at +0.102 s, routine agent start at
+0.171 s, monitor agent start at +0.159 s. Both scripted agents
succeeded using real run-scoped API authentication. No model provider
was called. No duplicate runs occurred during the 70-second follow-up.
Platform: macOS, Node 25.6.1, isolated database on local PostgreSQL 16,
source checkout. The final run used a fresh database and a clean
checkout of 9fc857dcec.
- The first timing run exposed the repeated cron parsing described
above. A diagnostic run showed the timer fired 1 ms after the deadline
while the annual search blocked the event loop. Parsing once reduced
local dispatch to 5.9 seconds, which still missed the five-second test
target. The next change skips impossible UTC dates before formatting. A
second regression failed before that fix. The final timing result and
duplicate check passed.
- A separate acceptance setup failed because the direct local server had
no agent signing key. That owned fixture was removed. The retry uses an
ephemeral key in its isolated process environment.
- Owned fixtures were deleted, the local runtime exited normally, and
the disposable databases were dropped. Shared services remain running.
- No production deployment or npm publication is part of this PR.

## Risks

- Known deadlines now trigger a scan between heartbeat ticks. Existing
atomic claims, suppression checks, budgets, and execution rules still
decide whether work runs.
- Direct database writers rely on the heartbeat recovery scan. Overdue
blocked work also retains that recovery interval to avoid a tight retry
loop.
- This is not a hard real-time guarantee. Provider startup, queue load,
and other synchronous work can still delay agent execution.
- No database migration or API schema change. Revert this commit to
restore interval-only dispatch.

execution, and automated tests. The session does not expose a more

DottaandPaperclip 59a70dc9e2 fix(workspaces): expire reproducible Git files and restore exact commits (#16457)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their task workspaces.
> - Isolated Git worktrees and private repository copies remain on the
host after tasks finish.
> - These files can fill the disk even when every commit is available
upstream.
> - Cleanup must retain unique files, local Git state, live work, and
recovery data.
> - This pull request records and verifies an exact-commit restoration
recipe before expiration.
> - Normal reopening restores that commit even after upstream advances.
> - The benefit is lower host disk use while finished tasks remain
available for later work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #10285 and #2022. Follows #16433 for skill-cache expiration.
Related #11936 provides separate host-local cleanup tooling; this change
extends the existing company-scoped lifecycle worker and normal
workspace reopening. ROADMAP.md does not specify a competing
implementation.

## What Changed

- Add opt-in expiration for verified Paperclip-owned Git worktrees after
their whole task tree has been done or cancelled for 24 hours.
- Preserve active and scheduled runs, previews, pending reopening,
unresolved recovery, dirty files, unknown ignored files, and unsupported
or unique Git state.
- Verify an authenticated fetch in a fresh object store. Save repository
identity, exact commit, branch, and ownership before any deletion.
- Rename eligible files into recorded managed trash. Resume interrupted
cleanup under source and lifecycle locks.
- Expire private base clones only after consumer, file, reference,
reflog, and object checks pass. Preserve shared project base clones.
- Rebuild missing bases and worktrees through normal reopening at the
recorded commit. Return an explicit retryable error when repository
access fails.
- Add independent workspace/base switches, dry-run reports,
reclaimed-byte counts, and operational documentation. No table, public
API, UI, or recovery-retention change.

## Verification

- Real local bare remote plus Postgres: create at A, advance upstream to
B, expire the worktree and private base, reopen at A, then make and
retain a subsequent commit.
- Final lifecycle suite: all 20 tests passed in 46.41 seconds at
`d72947a2e45be5d0c912debb03c46b15863b4798`. Review fixes cover
second-cycle expiration, newer-branch recovery, normal preparation after
restoration, branch adoption, and Git administration path controls.
Eleven existing branch reconciliation controls also passed. Covers
unique files and Git state, live descendants, scheduled runs, recovery,
previews, unauthorized access, upstream failure, concurrent reopening,
interrupted deletion, shared bases, and nested private worktrees.
- Final guard regressions: 3 affected tests passed. Existing
workspace/runtime/preparation/source controls: 328 tests passed in
238.69 seconds.
- Full repository typecheck and build passed locally. The full local
test attempt did not pass: initial native-session cases hit macOS
Postgres shared-memory exhaustion, source changes invalidated two
discovery cases, and the checkout disappeared near the end. The
final-code retry of the remaining skill and unrelated controls passed
all 103 tests. All checks passed on this exact head, including
typecheck, general and serialized tests, Runner checks, build, canary
dry-run, browser E2E, and security scans. Greptile reviewed the head at
5/5 with all findings resolved.
- Fixed a blocking CI policy false positive for
`docker-compose-secrets.test.mjs`. The test still rejects GitHub secret
expressions, including dot, bracket, and multiline forms. Its full
15-test suite passes.
- Map validation and `git diff --check` passed.
- Staging dry-run inspection, measured reclamation, and ordinary product
acceptance remain pending. No live acceptance is claimed.

## Risks

- Git restoration depends on continued upstream availability and
credentials. Cleanup skips unverified commits; restoration never
substitutes the default branch.
- File deletion requires multiple conservative proofs. Unknown or
unsupported state is retained and can limit reclamation.
- Source and lifecycle locks serialize preparation, reopening, and
expiration. Remote verification has a deadline but can delay work on the
same source.
- Start with both expiration switches disabled. When enabled, dry-run
remains the default. Rollback disables further deletion while retaining
restoration support.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip cda77edc60 perf(server): stop readiness waiting on startup housekeeping (#16329)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - On restart, `/api/health` reports `starting` until startup recovery
finishes, and deploy tooling waits for `ok`
> - After heartbeat recovery, readiness also waits for housekeeping that
every scheduler tick repeats and that serving requests does not need
> - #16330 added OpenTelemetry spans for the main startup phases; native
recovery and orphan reaping are the slow ones, and both run the native
finalization reconciliation pass, which has no inner breakdown
> - This pull request stops readiness waiting on that housekeeping, and
records the phases of slow reconciliation passes as spans
> - The benefit is faster readiness on every restart, and traces that
show where a slow reconciliation pass spends its time

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Builds on #16330, which records `controller.startup.<phase>` spans.
Related to #16328.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Server readiness time after a restart, and diagnosis of slow native
recovery.

**Current behavior**
- After heartbeat recovery, readiness waits for the custom-image setup
cleanup, tool connection health (remote MCP checks), decision expiry,
the adapter and setup-token login reapers, environment lease cleanup
(provider calls) and the retention sweep. Each also runs on every
scheduler tick. On one instance they added 11–28 s to every measured
restart. A throw in any of them fails startup.
- On the same instance, native recovery took from 33 s to 11.5 min and
orphan reaping from 30 s to 4 min across restarts in one hour. Both run
the native finalization reconciliation pass. The #16330 spans time each
step as a whole, but not the phases inside that pass.

**Proposed behavior**
- The housekeeping steps run after readiness. The scheduler interval
still starts after them.
- With an OTLP endpoint, a reconciliation pass of at least one second
records a span with one child span per phase.

**Reason and benefit**
Readiness depends only on what serving requests and run recovery need.
Slow reconciliation passes become attributable to a phase in the
existing traces, without adding trace volume for the periodic pass.

**Breaking changes**
None. A failed housekeeping step no longer fails startup; it is logged
and the next step runs.

## What Changed

- `server/src/index.ts`: moves the housekeeping steps into
`runStartupHousekeeping`, which runs after readiness under
`trackHeartbeatSchedulerWork` (idle sleep and shutdown wait for it).
Each step catches and logs its own failure (`startup housekeeping step
failed`). The heartbeat scheduler interval starts when housekeeping
finishes, unless the scheduler was stopped, so the reapers still finish
before the first timer tick.
- New
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-reconciliation-timing.ts`:
records the phase boundaries of one pass. When the pass took at least
one second and an OTLP endpoint is configured, it emits a
`controller.native_reconciliation` root span
(`paperclip.native-reconciliation`) with child spans
`legacy_workspace_exports`, `obsolete_policy_reviews`,
`automatic_completion_reviews`, `candidate_scan` and `candidates`, using
the recorded start and end times. It records `scoped` and the candidate
count only. A failed pass marks the pass span and the running phase.
Tracing failures are swallowed.
- `native-finalization-reconciler.ts`: the exported function wraps the
pass in that timing and finishes it in `finally`, so failed passes are
recorded; the original error is rethrown.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: what readiness waits for, and the
housekeeping order. `doc/observability.md`: the reconciliation spans.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-reconciliation-timing.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-finalization-reconciler-timing.test.ts
src/startup-recovery-timing.test.ts` (in `server/`): 52 passed. New
tests:
- Readiness is `ready` while a housekeeping step hangs, and the
heartbeat interval starts only after the step settles.
- A failed housekeeping step is logged, and the scheduler still starts
after the remaining steps.
- Span timing: nothing for a fast pass or without an endpoint; a slow
pass emits the pass span and one child per phase with the recorded
times; a failed pass marks the running phase and the pass; a failing
tracer does not throw.
- The reconciler records its phases and a failed outcome when a pass
throws, and rethrows.
- Three existing startup tests settle housekeeping before they read the
scheduler interval or the setup cleanup.
- `pnpm exec vitest run src/services/native-runtime`: 4,399 passed.
- `pnpm typecheck` in `server/`: passed.

## Risks

- Housekeeping now runs concurrently with the first requests and with
`waitForExternalAdapters`. None of these steps is needed to serve
requests, and each one also runs on every scheduler tick.
- Readiness is reported earlier; the heartbeat timer starts at the same
point relative to housekeeping as before.
- The new spans exist only with an OTLP endpoint and only for passes of
at least one second.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip aec80cbc8c fix(server): keep workspace compaction out of the startup sweep (#16328)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When the server starts, `/api/health` answers "starting" until
startup recovery finishes, and deploy tooling waits for "ok"
> - Startup recovery waits for the first sweep of the terminal-workspace
worker
> - #16304 added workspace compaction to that sweep. Compaction walks
worktrees, runs Git, and deletes dependency trees, and it re-checks
every eligible workspace after a restart
> - Compaction is never needed to serve requests, so it should not delay
readiness
> - This pull request skips compaction in the startup sweep only; later
sweeps compact as before
> - The benefit is that a compaction backlog cannot make a restart
slower

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Follow-up to #16304.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Server startup time after #16304.

**Current behavior**
`await terminalWorkspaceWorker.ready` blocks the readiness flip until
the first terminal-workspace sweep ends. That sweep compacts every
eligible workspace in its page. The per-cycle compaction memo is in
memory, so after each restart every eligible workspace is walked and
checked with Git again, and any directories found are deleted before the
sweep ends.

**Proposed behavior**
The first sweep skips compaction. Pending compactions keep their
deadlines, so the worker wakes and a later sweep compacts them.

**Reason and benefit**
Readiness depends only on work that is needed to serve requests. On one
measured instance the first sweep took 5–8 s with compaction; with a
larger backlog, compaction could add seconds per workspace.

**Breaking changes**
None. Compaction happens one sweep later after a restart.

## What Changed

- `sweepTerminalWorkspaces(limit, signal, { compact })`: `compact:
false` skips compaction for that sweep and keeps each pending compaction
deadline.
- `registerTerminalWorkspaceWork` passes `compact: false` to its first
sweep (the one readiness waits for) and `compact: true` after that.
- `server/src/index.ts` forwards the option through the logging wrapper.
- `doc/DEVELOPING.md`: the compaction section says the startup sweep
never compacts.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run src/__tests__/terminal-workspace-work.test.ts
src/__tests__/execution-workspace-compaction.test.ts
src/__tests__/workspace-compaction.test.ts` (in `server/`): 35 passed.
- New: the worker passes `compact: false` only to the startup sweep and
`compact: true` to the next one.
- New: a sweep with `compact: false` leaves the files in place, the
compaction deadline stays due, and the next sweep compacts.
- `pnpm typecheck` in `server/`: passed.

## Risks

- Low risk. After a restart, compaction runs a few seconds later than
before. Archive behavior does not change.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), 1M context, through Claude Code
with tool use (shell, file edits, test runs).

DottaandPaperclip ebceb2a744 trace(server): time workspace, native setup and startup recovery (#16330)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their work.
> - The controller prepares workspaces before it starts a Runner.
> - A slow run can spend 30–80 seconds inside the combined workspace phase.
> - Startup recovery can also delay queued work for minutes.
> - Native runs also have gaps before Runner startup and after the provider result.
> - Existing traces do not identify the awaited steps inside those intervals.
> - This change adds closed timing boundaries around the existing operations.
> - Operators can locate the wait without changing execution or exposing content.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Operator-configured OpenTelemetry diagnosis of controller preparation and startup recovery. Related: #16178, #16236 and #16285 introduced the existing preparation timing and sampling contract. #16306 and #16312 reduce separate configuration and copyback work.

**Current behavior**

The workspace interval combines source resolution, trust checks, provisioning, database persistence, binding and repository admission. Startup awaits accounting and native recovery before queued work resumes, but neither has a separate duration. Native backend setup and post-turn cleanup also contain unmeasured awaits. CPU profiles and a fast database probe cannot identify which await is slow.

**Proposed behavior**

Record workspace steps and native controller setup and cleanup with the existing hashed run ID. Record startup phases as independent, operator-sampled root spans without custom attributes. Keep the same operation order, results, failures and authorization.

**Reason and benefit**

These boundaries distinguish source work, database writes, repository admission and restart recovery. This is a diagnosis change. It does not claim a response-time improvement or a solved latency budget.

## What Changed

- Add 14 closed workspace step names around 16 existing awaits. Repeated updates and bindings produce separate spans.
- Time startup tool reviews, gateway sessions, delivery-worker readiness, accounting, plugin readiness, native recovery, hot restart, orphan reaping, retries, queued work and goal recovery.
- Time native GitHub setup, wake binding, backend construction, connector assignments, MCP discovery, tool authority, companion selection and binary resolution. Time selected post-turn GitHub, coordinator and instruction cleanup awaits.
- Move preparation timing to a pure shared module. Keep the existing heartbeat import as an alias. Both heartbeat and native timing skip tracer lookup when the endpoint is unset or blank, including when another library registered a provider.
- Tracing lookup, callback, status and end faults cannot repeat work or replace its value or error.
- Add real PostgreSQL workspace timing coverage and silent no-op/fault controls. Update the tracing contract and paired run maps.
- Keep span attributes closed. Startup spans add none; workspace steps use only the existing run hash. No commands, paths, returned records or exception messages are recorded.

## Verification

- Diagnostic-gap baseline: the new real workspace test fails against the unchanged workspace implementation because the expected step spans are absent. It passes with the wrappers.
- Final affected coverage: **804 distinct cases pass** across seven complete suites: 698 native-executor cases, 39 real PostgreSQL workspace cases, 61 timing/context/startup cases, and six execution-configuration integration cases. The final native and unit invocations pass with no selected skips. The workspace suite passed in the initial six-file invocation on the same final workspace source.
- Preserve the initial six-file attempt as failed: **7 failed and 789 passed**. All seven errors occurred during embedded PostgreSQL startup. The log reports local macOS shared-memory exhaustion. A fresh 15-case database group passes, followed by the complete 698-case native suite. These runs overlap; do not add their counts.
- The new native timing assertion fails against unchanged native code because the expected spans are absent. It passes with the wrappers and retains the credential-isolation assertions.
- Full `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`: passed on the final production source. Earlier nullable-closure errors are fixed with erased assertions inside existing guards. The failed attempts remain recorded.
- Normalized AST comparison: removing only timing wrappers, timing imports/local handles and erased assertions restores the original workspace, startup and native executor programs. This checks call order and policy expressions; it is not live acceptance.
- The expanded head first failed two configuration integration assertions because their test providers had no endpoint. Configure the endpoint explicitly in those two tracing tests, and restore it after each test. All six cases then pass with the original credential cleanup, redaction and exact span assertions. Production is unchanged by this repair.
- The first PR head failed one unchanged attachment test at its 15-second deadline in CI. The complete 32-case attachment suite passes locally with that deadline. Do not label the failed CI attempt green. The expanded head needs fresh full CI.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`: passed, 35 areas and 176 capability IDs. `node scripts/storybook-catalog.mjs`: 283 files and 2,728 stories. Structural checks only; no browser, play or Storybook build claim.
- `git diff --check`: passed. No added prose comments, lockfile changes or new 1,000-line crossings.
- A duplicate full local test run was not started. Fresh exact-head full CI and E2E pass on `15a683bb2419960f611584f8c07cdcfc9ce3af0b`. All 56 check runs are successful or optional skipped. Superagent and legacy Snyk pass. Completed Apex review is 5/5 on this same head, with zero unresolved review threads.

Commands:

```sh
pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server --maxWorkers=1 --fileParallelism=false server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts server/src/services/execution-preparation-timing.test.ts server/src/startup-recovery-timing.test.ts server/src/services/heartbeat/preparation-timing.test.ts server/src/services/heartbeat/preparation-timing-context.test.ts server/src/services/heartbeat/workspace-preparation.test.ts
pnpm -r typecheck
pnpm build
node scripts/check-maps.mjs
node scripts/storybook-catalog.mjs
```

## Risks

- Configured operators receive more spans. They still follow the configured sampler and exporter.
- Startup spans measure the awaited phase, including remaining readiness waits. They do not measure earlier worker construction or a provider turn.
- Workspace and native setup intervals overlap their containing phases. Do not add them to the parent duration. Native timing covers named awaits, not every statement or every error path.
- These spans are not yet deployed or tested against a live latency run. No first-party Telemetry event, run-log write, schema or API changes are included.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 5b29b9062e fix(server): compact finished task worktrees and shorten the reaper cooldown (#16304)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Each task can run in its own isolated Git worktree, and each
worktree installs its own dependencies
> - The terminal-workspace reaper removes a worktree only when the task
tree is finished, the delivery is merged, the files are clean, and a
7-day cooldown has passed
> - A recurring task that runs every hour keeps a week of worktrees, and
each worktree holds gigabytes of `node_modules`. A finished task with no
merged pull request, or with leftover agent files, keeps its worktree
forever
> - On a busy instance this fills the disk in days, and a larger volume
only delays the next failure
> - This pull request adds compaction: one hour after a task tree
finishes, the reaper removes regenerable directories from the worktree
and keeps the workspace, the branch, and all source changes
> - The benefit is that finished tasks stop holding gigabytes of disk,
and no work is lost because a resumed task regenerates the files when
its workspace is provisioned again

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #2022 (retention for workspace cleanup). Related: #11936 and #14608
add external reclaim scripts (a scheduled tool and a disk-guard step).
This pull request does the reclaim inside the server's
terminal-workspace reaper instead. That way it uses the reaper's
lifecycle lock, issue-tree checks, and live-run checks, and needs no
extra scheduler.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Disk retention of execution workspaces after their tasks finish.

**Current behavior**
A finished task keeps its full worktree, including installed
dependencies and build output, for at least 7 days. If the delivery is
not merged, or the worktree has uncommitted or untracked files, the
reaper never removes it. On one instance, an hourly recurring task
created about 22 worktrees per day at about 3 GB each (about 2.8 GB of
that was `node_modules`). Together with finished tasks that had no
merged pull request, they filled a 100 GB volume in about two days.

**Proposed behavior**
One hour after a task tree becomes terminal, the reaper removes
regenerable directories (installed dependencies, build output, tool
caches) from the worktree. It keeps the worktree, the branch, the
commits, and every tracked, untracked, or other ignored file. When the
task resumes, the existing reuse path runs the provision step, which
reinstalls the dependencies. Clean, merged worktrees are archived after
1 day instead of 7.

**Reason and benefit**
Most of a finished worktree's size is regenerable. Compaction removes
that part without the risk of deleting work, so it can apply to
workspaces that the reaper must keep (no merged pull request, leftover
files). The shorter cooldown limits the cost of the source checkouts
that stay.

**Breaking changes**
None. The default archive cooldown changes from 7 days to 1 day.
`PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACE_REAPER_COOLDOWN_DAYS` still overrides it.
`PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACE_COMPACTION_ENABLED=false` turns compaction off.

## What Changed

- New `server/src/services/workspace-compaction.ts`:
- Finds directories with a regenerable name (`node_modules`, `dist`,
`build`, `coverage`, `storybook-static`, `target`, `.cache`, `.next`,
`.nuxt`, `.parcel-cache`, `.svelte-kit`, `.turbo`, `.vite`).
- Keeps only the directories that the repository's own `.gitignore`
files ignore and that hold no tracked file. A negated pattern
(`!build/`), a global excludes file, and `.git/info/exclude` do not
count. Each candidate is checked per path, so dependencies below an
ignored parent (`vendor/tool/node_modules`) are found.
- Searches inside a regenerable-named directory that does not qualify
(for example a tracked `build/`), so its ignored dependencies still go.
- Never enters `.git` or `.paperclip` (the worktree instance data), and
never follows a symlink.
- Each Git read has a 60-second deadline and stops when the sweep is
aborted.
- Moves the directories into `.paperclip-compaction-trash` beside the
worktree with a same-filesystem rename, and can restore them.
- `sweepTerminalWorkspaces` compacts each terminal workspace once per
terminal cycle, after the compaction delay and before the archive
cooldown check:
- Only isolated linked Git worktrees qualify. A shared workspace, a
project's main checkout, or a row whose `.git` is a directory is never
compacted.
- The move runs inside a transaction that holds the workspace lifecycle
lock. The guard checks a fresh row and the same lifecycle generation. It
also checks that the issue tree is terminal, that no queued or running
run works on the tree or the workspace (by checkout or execution run, or
by run context), and that no runtime service runs from the workspace.
- The guard runs before the move and again after it. If the second check
fails (for example, the task reopened or a run started), the directories
move back. Otherwise the trash is deleted.
- The worker wakes at the compaction deadline, not only at the archive
deadline.
- Stale trash from an interrupted compaction or a failed delete is
purged by later sweeps. The sweep checks each worktree parent at most
every 30 minutes, whether or not anything is left to compact.
- New counters `compacted` and `compactionFailed` in the sweep result.
The activity log gets an `execution_workspace.regenerable_files_removed`
entry with the removed paths.
- Config: new `PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACE_COMPACTION_DELAY_HOURS` (default `1`)
and `PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACE_COMPACTION_ENABLED`. The default for
`PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACE_REAPER_COOLDOWN_DAYS` changes from `7` to `1`. Both
new keys are added to the run-failure diagnostics allowlists.
- Docs: `doc/DEVELOPING.md` documents the new variables and has a new
"Terminal workspace compaction" section. `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`
describes compaction.
- `execution-workspaces.ts` was already above 1,000 lines. The
file-system logic is in the new module. Only the guarded orchestration,
which uses the existing lifecycle lock and run predicates, is in the
service.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run src/__tests__/workspace-compaction.test.ts
src/__tests__/execution-workspace-compaction.test.ts` (in `server/`): 27
passed. `workspace-reaper-cooldown-config.test.ts`: passed.
- Unit tests: directory selection (ignored, untracked, regenerable name
only, `.env` and local data kept, tracked `coverage` kept, `.paperclip`
skipped, symlinks not followed), nested candidates under a source
`build/` and under an ignored `vendor/`, a negated `!build/` kept,
global and `info/exclude` rules ignored, glob characters in names,
abort, main checkout vs linked worktree, move and restore, restore that
keeps a recreated directory, and stale-trash purge.
  - Embedded Postgres tests:
- A no-PR, unmerged, dirty workspace is compacted. HEAD, the branch ref,
`git status --porcelain --untracked-files=all`, untracked notes, `.env`,
local data, and `.paperclip` data stay the same, and the row stays
active.
    - A delivered workspace inside the cooldown is compacted.
    - The delay is respected, and the worker wakes at the delay.
- An active checkout run, a queued run found through its context, an
unfinished child issue, and a running runtime service all block
compaction.
- The task reopens during the move: the files are restored and
unchanged.
    - A run starts during the move: the files are restored.
    - A shared workspace and a main checkout are never compacted.
- Compaction runs once per terminal cycle and again after a later cycle.
    - Disabled compaction does nothing.
- End to end: `realizeExecutionWorkspace` creates a worktree, the sweep
compacts it, and a second `realizeExecutionWorkspace` reuses the same
worktree. The provision command regenerates `node_modules`, and the
untracked notes and the unmerged commit are still present.
- Leftover trash is purged when the workspace has nothing left to
compact.
- Mutation checks: when the post-move guard is disabled, both race tests
fail. Without the negation fix or the repository-only source fix, their
tests fail.
- `pnpm exec vitest run` for `execution-workspaces-service.test.ts`,
`terminal-workspace-work.test.ts`, `execution-workspace-reopen.test.ts`,
`server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts`, and
`workspace-runtime.test.ts`: 335 passed. Two `workspace-runtime.test.ts`
cases fail locally with and without this change (`does not diagnose a
missing remote branch as a rejected credential`, `rejects explicit main
on a master-only remote ...`). They also fail on unmodified `master` on
the same machine, so the cause is the local Git environment.
- `pnpm typecheck` in `server/`: passed. `pnpm check:module-boundaries`:
passed.

## Risks

- A repository can keep something that is not regenerable in an ignored
`dist`, `build`, `target`, or `.cache` directory. Compaction removes it.
The fixed name list, the ignore check, and the tracked-file check limit
this. `PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACE_COMPACTION_ENABLED=false` turns compaction
off.
- A repository without a provision command does not get dependencies
back automatically. This is the same state as a new worktree for that
repository, where the agent already installs them.
- A resumed task pays for a dependency install again. This happens only
for tasks that finished more than an hour earlier.
- The shorter default cooldown removes clean, merged worktrees after 1
day instead of 7. An operator who wants the old hold can set
`PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACE_REAPER_COOLDOWN_DAYS=7`.
- Self-hosted instances get the same behavior. There is no schema
change.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), 1M context, through Claude Code
with tool use (shell, file edits, test runs). A separate Claude agent
read the reaper code during the diagnosis.

DottaandPaperclip 7c016c049b perf(workspaces): wake terminal cleanup from committed changes (#16282)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents use execution workspaces to retain their files and Git
branches.
> - A reaper closes eligible workspaces after their task tree is
terminal.
> - The reaper scanned every heartbeat tick and read Git before cheap
eligibility checks.
> - Permanent scans also query idle databases when no cleanup work
exists.
> - This pull request wakes cleanup after transaction settlement and
restores bounded work at startup.
> - The benefit is fewer scans while fresh cleanup guards continue to
protect retained work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related work: Refs #13619, Refs #11753. Those PRs bound scans or back
off unchanged candidates. This PR uses the transaction work coordinator
to remove the permanent reaper tick. It overlaps their early
terminal-state filtering but does not change their runtime restart
behavior or introduce a second Git scheduler cache.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Terminal workspace cleanup and Git inspection for workspace detail
reads.

**Subsystem affected**

Server orchestration, execution workspaces, and idle sleep admission.

**Current behavior**

The heartbeat tick scans workspace candidates every thirty seconds. It
runs Git before rejecting nonterminal trees, cooldowns, and active runs.
Display inspections expire after five seconds.

**Proposed behavior**

Recover workspace rows in bounded startup pages. Wake after relevant
issue, workspace, and pull-request work-product transactions settle.
Schedule the terminal tree cooldown or a five-minute eligibility retry.
Back off unchanged candidates across unrelated wakes, and invalidate
their backoff after relevant committed changes. Park empty and
nonterminal-only lanes. Reuse display inspections for thirty seconds.
Read fresh Git before destructive cleanup.

**Reason and benefit**

Avoid recurring database and Git work when no cleanup is possible.
Retain transaction admission holds, restart recovery, and fresh deletion
checks. Retention eligibility can wait for the next host wake; active
and failed recovery work still blocks sleep.

**Breaking changes**

No schema or API shape changes. Display Git state can lag by thirty
seconds. Cleanup eligibility retries can take five minutes.

## What Changed

- Add a terminal-workspace worker to the existing transaction work
coordinator and scheduler.
- Signal relevant writes before mutation on the owning transaction.
Outer transaction settlement wakes cleanup.
- Derive cooldown deadlines from the full company-scoped terminal task
tree. Continue bounded recovery pages without a permanent sweep.
- Bound unchanged candidate inspections to five minutes, retain at most
256 entries, and invalidate affected entries with scoped transaction
hints. Repeated wakes preserve the earliest inspection deadline.
- Collect deadlines from task trees already read by bounded pages.
Restore the cursor after a failed page and rescan commits received
during a rotation.
- Check terminal state, cooldown, and active runs before Git. Preserve
lifecycle locks, generation fences, and fresh final checks.
- Keep failed or incomplete recovery visible to idle admission. Preserve
the passive retention exception.
- Extend the bounded display cache to thirty seconds and document the
scheduling and wake limits.

## Verification

- Focused workspace, coordinator, cache, and local sleep suites: 111
tests passed with real local PostgreSQL and Git worktrees where
applicable.
- Final worker, display cache, and local sleep suites: 28 tests passed.
- The regressions prove three ineligible workspaces invoke zero Git
scans, cached clean display state cannot remove new untracked files, and
real producer notifications wait for outer transaction settlement.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed locally. Map and
module-boundary checks passed.
- Work-product and sleep-safety suites: 221 tests passed. Reopen and
issue-tree control suites: 46 tests passed. Final backoff, workspace,
worker, and work-product suites: 87 tests passed.
- Final workspace and worker suites: 81 tests passed. Deadline selection
performs zero database reads. A failed full page retries its unread
terminal workspace before recovery can park.
- Full CI coverage passed on head `2c397970f7`: general tests,
serialized server suites, runner verification, E2E shards, typecheck,
build, and the final verification gate. The duplicate serial local `pnpm
test:run` was stopped after full CI coverage passed; it is not reported
as a completed local pass.
- Greptile: 5/5 with both findings resolved. The security scan also
passed. No failing or pending PR checks remain.

## Risks

- Display state can be stale for thirty seconds. Destructive guards
bypass the display cache.
- Undelivered or otherwise ineligible terminal work retries after five
minutes instead of each heartbeat tick.
- Transaction signals cover the owning `createDb` scope. Direct SQL and
independent server processes require startup recovery.
- Local cooldown timers are maintenance hints. They do not establish an
external wake alarm or whole-instance sleep safety. Existing blockers
remain in force; failed bounded recovery keeps the host awake.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6, model ID `gpt-6`, through Codex. Reasoning, repository
inspection, shell execution, and browser tools assisted the change. The
runtime does not expose the context-window size.

9cc979116e fix(server): stop reporting queries that outlive the database shutdown (#16243)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server reports unexpected route errors to Sentry through the
shared error handler.
> - An orderly shutdown drains the HTTP listener, and then it ends the
database pool.
> - `server.close()` completes when the sockets close. A route handler
whose client disconnected, or whose socket the drain timeout closed, can
still run.
> - The next query of that handler fails with postgres.js
`CONNECTION_ENDED`, because this process ended the pool. The error
handler reports this as a 500 crash.
> - This pull request marks the pool as closing just before it ends. The
error handler then skips the error sinks for that one error code during
shutdown.
> - Public MCP calls run in their own internal Express app, so the flag
is also shared with that app.
> - The benefit is that a normal restart does not create false Sentry
crash reports. Real errors are still reported.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists. This is the bug description.

**What happened?**

A staging server restarted. During the restart, `GET
/api/companies/:companyId/heartbeat-runs` failed in the per-row run
privacy check (`canActorReadHeartbeatRun`). The error was `Failed query:
select "id" from "issues" ...`. Its cause was `write CONNECTION_ENDED
<host>:5432`. postgres.js raises this code only for a query that starts
after the process called `sql.end()`. The error handler sent the error
to Sentry as a crash.

**Expected behavior**

A query that runs after the shutdown ends the pool is an expected part
of the shutdown. The server must not report it as a crash. If the
response is still open, the server answers `503`. The server must
continue to report all other errors.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start the server, and send a slow request (for example, a large
heartbeat run list).
2. Close the client connection, or let the 5 second drain timeout close
it, while the handler still runs.
3. Send SIGTERM. The shutdown drains HTTP and ends the pool.
4. The handler's next query fails with `CONNECTION_ENDED`. Before this
change, the error goes to Sentry.

## What Changed

- `server/src/database-retry.ts`: Add `isEndedDbPoolError`. It finds the
postgres.js `CONNECTION_ENDED` code anywhere in the error `cause` chain.
`isTransientDbConnectionError` now uses the same chain walk. Its
behavior does not change.
- `server/src/index.ts`: The orderly shutdown sets
`app.locals.paperclipDatabaseClosing = true` immediately before it ends
the database pools.
- `server/src/middleware/error-handler.ts`: When the flag is set and the
error is `CONNECTION_ENDED`, the handler answers `503 { error: "Server
is shutting down" }`, or it ends the response if the headers are already
sent. It does not call Sentry or crash telemetry. This follows the
existing client-abort (`ECONNRESET`) case.
- `server/src/services/public-mcp/capabilities.ts` and
`server/src/app.ts`: `createMcpApiDispatch` takes the main app's locals.
Each per-call dispatch app reads `paperclipDatabaseClosing` through a
live getter, so a public MCP call that outlives the pool is handled the
same way (Greptile review finding).
- `server/src/__tests__/error-handler.test.ts`: Add tests for the 503
path, the headers-sent path, `CONNECTION_ENDED` outside shutdown (still
reported), and `CONNECTION_CLOSED` during shutdown (still reported).
- `server/src/__tests__/public-mcp-dispatch-shutdown.test.ts`: Send an
ended-pool error through the real MCP dispatch, both during shutdown
(503, not reported) and outside shutdown (reported).

## Verification

- `cd server && vitest run
src/__tests__/public-mcp-dispatch-shutdown.test.ts
src/__tests__/error-handler.test.ts
src/__tests__/cloud-tenant-transient-db-retry.test.ts`: 25 tests pass.
- With only the error-handler change reverted, the two new error-handler
shutdown tests fail. With only the dispatch change reverted, the MCP
shutdown test fails. The negative-control tests pass in both cases.
- I could not run the full `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm test:run`, and
`pnpm build` locally, or `public-mcp.test.ts`, which needs built
workspace packages. The sandbox has a 4 GB memory limit. CI runs the
full gates.

## Risks

- Low risk. The skip applies only to `CONNECTION_ENDED`, and only after
the shutdown starts to end the pools. postgres.js raises that code only
for a pool that this process ended. Network and database failures
(`CONNECTION_CLOSED`, `CONNECTION_DESTROYED`, and others) are still
reported.
- `CONNECTION_ENDED` outside shutdown (for example, a dedicated client
used after it ended) is still reported as a crash.
- The MCP dispatch app gets only the shutdown flag from the main app's
locals. It does not get any other locals.
- No schema, API contract, or UI change.

## Model Used

Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool
use (repository inspection, shell, test execution) and the Sentry and
GitHub connectors.

DottaandPaperclip a7dd5284b5 feat: add company fast-response acknowledgements (#15748)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Human messages start agent work through task, chat, and
external-channel intake.
> - Agent startup can delay the first visible response.
> - A small direct model call can acknowledge the request while normal
work starts.
> - This response must remain separate from evidence that the agent
answered or completed work.
> - This pull request adds optional company-wide fast responses with
durable receipts, access checks, and cost accounting.
> - Users receive prompt acknowledgement without changing the agent
execution path.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: database, shared contracts, server orchestration,
connections, and UI.

**Problem or motivation**

Users can wait for an agent to start before they receive a contextual
response. Generic progress messages do not confirm what the user asked.
An acknowledgement must not falsely complete work or satisfy an
unanswered turn.

**Proposed solution**

Add a disabled-by-default experimental fast-response model using an
existing shared API connection. Generate one short acknowledgement for
each accepted human turn. Use the existing agent identity and external
publication outboxes. Retain platform provenance and account for the
inference independently.

**Alternatives considered**

Running the acknowledgement through the agent runtime adds startup
latency. Restricting implementation to OpenRouter leaves other existing
API connections unsupported. This change supports all existing API
connections and uses OpenRouter for live verification.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends existing agent communication and connection settings.
ROADMAP.md and open pull requests were checked. No duplicate
fast-response implementation was found. The maintainer supplied the
feature plan directly.

## What Changed

- Add Experimental fast responses to instance settings. Keep the feature
off by default. Enforce the flag at intake, dispatch, and publication.
- Move Decision model and Fast response setup to company Settings →
Connections when the experiment is enabled. Place Connections below
Environments. Separate the model sections with clear headings and a
divider. Keep Decision model in General when the experiment is off.
Route Costs setup links to the available settings page.
- Make the acknowledgement prompt a multiline template string. Ask for a
brief, positive response in the user’s language.

- Add settings, connection/model selection, sponsorship, fixed-sample
testing, and Costs history.
- Add a Vercel AI SDK text service for existing native, routed, Bedrock,
and local API connections.
- Add durable per-turn requests, a bounded worker, a three-second
admission deadline, and one inference attempt.
- Integrate task creation, task and agent chat, steering, queued
follow-ups, experimental board chat, shared chat intake, and email.
- Preserve receipt provenance and exclude receipts from completion,
recovery, interaction resolution, and agent wakeups.
- Recheck authorization, source validity, real replies, budgets, and
destination binding before publication. Preserve accounting for
suppressed or uncertain outcomes.
- Add provider contracts, database race tests, channel outbox tests, UI
tests, Stories, and documentation. Keep decision-model execution
unchanged.

## Verification

- Local `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and UI token gates pass after
rebase. The UI typecheck and build also pass after the final navigation
fixes. All 37 focused navigation tests pass. The first full local `pnpm
test:run` invocation reported seven chat failures. All seven passed in
isolated reruns after fixture updates and host cleanup. This invocation
was stopped after the full final-head CI suite passed.
- Initial local database tests hit macOS shared-memory exhaustion. A
diagnostic confirmed `shmget: No space left on device` with the system
limit of 32 IDs. Three abandoned, unattached PostgreSQL IPC headers were
reclaimed. The isolated rerun passed all 31 fast-response and channel
tests. The two additional Slack regression cases also passed in a
separate rerun. No active database was stopped.
- UI token gates pass. Provider contract tests cover all supported API
connection types. Fast-response tests cover uniqueness, authorization,
budgets, expiry, cancellation, restart, real-reply races, and the
experimental flag.
- The test drive verified that disabling the experiment hides
Connections and redirects its direct URL. Enabling it restores the saved
OpenRouter setup. After restart on the final commit, the OpenRouter
settings sample returned “Sure, I’ll take care of fixing the border
around the settings panel.” in 428 ms. It used 260 input and 31 output
tokens and recorded $0.0000576 in reported cost.
- Earlier live OpenRouter verification produced a receipt in 1.013
seconds for a new task. The real agent then supplied its substantive
answer. A separate settings test took 1.34 seconds, used 246 input and
23 output tokens, and recorded $0.0000361.
- Live Slack verification on final commit
`24016fa525961ebc7a4acffdc5019ce123970549` passed for a fresh initial
task and a follow-up in a disposable bot DM. The initial acknowledgement
appeared 2.405 seconds after the Slack message and 1.413 seconds after
durable acceptance; the follow-up appeared in 2.322 seconds and 1.160
seconds respectively. The recorded generation/settlement durations were
898 ms and 697 ms. The initial call used 291 input / 39 output tokens
and cost $0.00006705; the follow-up used 281 / 47 and cost $0.00007035.
- The Slack acknowledgements retained the assigned agent identity and
`origin: fast_response`, source-turn references, and no fabricated run
ID. A status snapshot after the initial receipt showed the task still
`in_progress` with its real execution run. The agent then read the CSV
fixture and correctly reported two ready items, two blockers, and their
owners. Both replies stayed in the originating DM, and no duplicate
generic working message followed the delivered contextual
acknowledgements. The `new` command started a fresh conversation session
without generating a fast response.
- An earlier eligible Slack turn generated a response but suppressed
publication. Its reported cost was retained, generic progress remained,
and the real agent completed the requested result. This is recorded
separately from the two delivered acknowledgements; the history did not
expose a precise suppression reason.
- Slack verification used real signed provider events, the existing
intake/publication paths, and a user-approved temporary webhook-only
HTTPS tunnel. Subscriptions were limited to direct-message events. The
test bot was paused and the tunnel stopped afterward. Live
channel/group-thread and GitHub journeys remain unverified; their mocked
tests cover intake, destination binding, publication, and continued
underlying work.
- Greptile reviewed final commit
`24016fa525961ebc7a4acffdc5019ce123970549` at 5/5. Both new review
findings are fixed and all threads are resolved. [Final-head CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38060015730)
passed. This includes grouped server/chat/workspace tests, serialized
suites, runner checks, browser journeys, typecheck, build, release
registry, policy, and the canary dry run.
- Manual check: enable Experimental fast responses. Open company
Settings → Connections. Select a shared API connection and model. Save
and use Test response. Submit a task message and confirm that its
receipt does not complete the task.

## Risks

- The migration adds receipt and configuration tables plus accounting
references. It uses idempotent statements and follows the current
migration sequence.
- A slow provider, authorization change, or real-agent reply can
suppress an acknowledgement. Existing progress feedback remains
available.
- Unknown provider billing retains a reservation until reconciliation.
External deliveries with uncertain outcomes must not be blindly
repeated.
- Live Slack initial-task and follow-up DM journeys pass. Live Slack
channel/group-thread and GitHub journeys remain unverified. The PR
remains a draft and records these gaps. Final-head repository CI and
automated review pass.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser interaction. The runtime does not expose an exact
model snapshot ID or context-window size; these are not asserted.

DottaandPaperclip 835a022936 perf(server): wake delivery queues from transaction-aware work signals (#15625)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI-agent work and its delivery to users and
agents.
> - Five delivery queues scan the database even when empty.
> - Each queue already has durable rows; empty polling wastes idle
hosting capacity.
> - Producers can register intent inside their existing database
transaction.
> - Central transaction tracking can wake consumers after the outer
commit without extra caller wrappers.
> - A lost response needs reconciliation against PostgreSQL before an
empty queue is safe to leave idle.
> - This change uses one scheduler for outstanding work and lets
settled, empty queues go quiet.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Supersedes the closed #15614. Related idle-safety work: #15522 and
#15599.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Delivery scheduling for feedback exports, chat completions, connection
continuations, question answers, and tool-action receipts.

**Current behavior**

Feedback scans every five seconds. Four delivery queues scan on the
heartbeat interval, normally 30 seconds. Startup and some event paths
also scan them.

**Proposed behavior**

Each producer awaits one intent registration before its queue write. The
existing `createDb` transaction boundary tracks nested savepoints and
wakes the consumer after outer settlement. Startup scans restore durable
work. Pending rows, failures, and unresolved transactions retain retry
deadlines. Empty, settled queues have no timer or recurring scan.

**Reason and benefit**

Normal delivery starts after commit. Central tracking removes
caller-specific post-commit plumbing. PostgreSQL transaction status
resolves lost responses without new tables or a permanent uncertainty
latch.

**Breaking changes**

No API or schema changes. The notification scope is one DB owner and its
dedicated child pools. Direct SQL, separate roots, and other processes
require an explicit wake/recovery integration. This path requires
PostgreSQL 14+ transaction-information functions; embedded PostgreSQL
uses 18.

## What Changed

- Add one named-deadline scheduler and app-owned coordinator for five
existing queues.
- Instrument `createDb().transaction()` centrally, including nested
savepoints. Dedicated child connections share their owner's signal
scope.
- Register work before the five queue insert paths. The first
registration obtains the outer XID; unrelated transactions issue no
extra SQL. Tool receipt insertion gains a small transaction around its
existing insert.
- Query `pg_xact_status` only for rejected, tracked transactions. Probe
before scanning the queue. Retain the idle hold while PostgreSQL still
reports an in-progress transaction or the probe fails. Release it after
settlement and reconciliation.
- Remove unconditional delivery recovery scans and caller-specific
completion post-commit actions. Retain the existing task-scoped
completion activity fast path and durable claims.
- Coalesce wakes without postponing an earlier deadline. Retry
outstanding rows and failures; suppress dispatch during idle drain while
allowing transaction and queue reconciliation; suppress both during warm
standby. Cancel deadlines and await active delivery sweeps on shutdown.
- Serialize feedback flushes. Vote routes return after saving. Uploads
have a 30-second deadline and shutdown cancellation; unfinished exports
remain recoverable.
- Document the writer contract and update the dated sleep inventory.

## Verification

- Final head: `a4609956841107ad60c4cb50fe2acb05636b1363`.
- Passed: all final-head hosted checks, with 54 successes and two
intentional skips. The full test matrix, typecheck, build, canary, and
aggregate verification passed in [run
37940948440](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37940948440).
- Passed: Greptile 5/5 on the same head, with a successful check run and
zero unresolved review threads. The branch is mergeable.
- Passed locally after the final rebase: 50 coordinator, scheduler, and
startup tests; server typecheck; server build.
- Passed locally before the final import-only rebase: repo-wide
typecheck and build; 237 PostgreSQL producer/delivery and database
signal tests; feedback, native-question, and idle-safety regression
tests.
- Real PostgreSQL tests hold transactions open after an injected client
response loss, then commit or abort. They verify that an empty scan
cannot clear an in-progress transaction. Another test terminates a real
backend and verifies recovery without replay.
- Coordinator tests cover an hour with no empty-queue timers,
pending/error retries, worker replacement, concurrent writes,
earliest-deadline preservation, rollback during idle drain, committed
work during drain, standby, and shutdown.
- Local `pnpm test:run` was started and stopped after embedded
PostgreSQL startup failures appeared. It did not finish and is not
reported as a pass. Later local database reruns had skipped suites;
those skips are not claimed as verification. The earlier PostgreSQL
tests did execute and pass, and the final hosted full matrix passed.

## Risks

- One XID query is added per transaction that registers delivery work.
Nested transactions share that ID. Registration must be awaited before
writing; new enqueue paths must follow this contract.
- Work signals are local to a DB owner and its dedicated child pools.
Independent roots, direct SQL, or other processes are not observed.
Startup scans recover already committed rows, but do not fence late
transactions from a previous process. Cross-process ownership and
database failover require separate work.
- A database outage or genuinely unresolved transaction keeps an idle
hold until status can be reconciled. No timer clears uncertainty by
assumption.
- These changes remove five empty polling loops. They do not implement
whole-instance sleep, database teardown, or an external waker. The
earliest deadline covers only the registered queues.
- Waiting tool reviews retain their existing retry cadence until their
receipts can be delivered.
- Feedback vote responses no longer wait for the remote upload. Sharing
consent and the saved vote response are unchanged.
- Real hosting-provider sleep and cost savings have not been measured.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. Used reasoning, repository inspection, code
editing, and command execution. The runtime did not expose the exact
model revision or context window.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 9b624a110e fix: checkpoint database backups before idle sleep (#15629)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip coordinates agent work and preserves company state.
> - Hosted instances can stop compute when admission and all work
sources are quiet.
> - The periodic database backup timer currently blocks every automatic
sleep.
> - Disabling backups would remove recovery points.
> - This change offers an explicit final-backup checkpoint before sleep.
> - A verified archive and restart marker preserve recovery while
compute is stopped.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An otherwise idle instance with automatic backups enabled always reports
background work. Operators cannot reclaim idle compute without disabling
those backups. The work inventory also queries the database before
checking known local blockers.

**Expected behavior**

An operator can enable checkpoint mode. The server may authorize sleep
only after all other work is quiet and a fresh backup is verified under
the same owned hold. Backups resume on restart with the existing
retention policy.

**Steps to reproduce**

Acquire a bounded idle drain on an instance with no application work and
automatic backups enabled. Read its owned idle safety report. It reports
present even when all other work is clear. With this change and
`PAPERCLIP_DB_BACKUP_IDLE_CHECKPOINT_ENABLED=1`, a successful final
backup can permit sleep; backup failures still refuse it.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced from master at 4265cb3a2b.

**Deployment mode**

Hosted single-process instances with persistent backup storage and
serialized sleep/wake operations.

Searched open backup and sleep PRs and issues. Related: #15522 and
#15599 establish owned idle holds and plugin drains. #15358 proposes
general backup health/retention validation; this change verifies only
opted-in sleep checkpoints and their restart catch-up.

## What Changed

- Add an off-by-default checkpoint flag. Keep automatic backups enabled.
- Reject known local blockers before database work.
- Finish a new backup during each owned safety check, including final
revalidation.
- Verify the complete gzip archive and sync its file and directory
before pruning older recovery points.
- Use unique checkpoint filenames so repeated checks cannot replace an
earlier verified archive.
- Keep backup work counted through dump, validation and persistence.
Changed owners, expired holds, concurrent work and errors refuse sleep.
- Persist a restart marker before the dump. Attempt a fresh backup on
restart before idle eligibility, then resume the normal timer. Only a
verified fresh backup clears the marker.
- Restrict managed checkpoint reads to verified Cloud control actors.
Tenant instance-admin elevation does not grant backup authority.
- Keep archive verification outside engine fallback so failures retain
their original cause.
- Document that recurring duplicate archives pause while asleep. The
final checkpoint and historical archives remain on persistent storage;
retention does not prune while asleep.

## Verification

- Focused idle, spool, backup and route checks: 137 tests passed,
including restoration into a separate PostgreSQL database.
- Backup library and checkpoint tests: 15 passed, including rejection
before historical backups can be pruned.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed. Follow-up server
typecheck and database build cover the verification callback.
- Review follow-up: 51 backup/restore/startup tests, 122 route/safety
tests, 32 signed-control tests, and server typecheck passed. Startup
cases exercise both flag states and retry after failure. The final
test-cleanup adjustment passes all 35 startup tests.
- The full local run hit four ancestor-directory skill-fixture failures
and one tool-route failure. All five passed from an isolated checkout at
949210 (3 targeted chat/tool checks and the complete 39-test email
suite). The redundant local run was stopped after final-head hosted CI
passed. No full local pass is claimed.
- Added-line secret/private-reference review and `git diff --check`
passed.
- [Final-head hosted
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37853380365)
passed, including typecheck, build, all general and serialized test
shards, all eight E2E shards and the canary dry run. Apex is 5/5 on
5b1de388ef, with no new findings and all review threads resolved. The
branch is conflict-free. Live staging activation awaits merge and a
canonical image; no production configuration or deployment changed.

## Risks

- The flag defaults off. This is for a single process whose host
controls every writer and preserves its backup volume across sleep.
Independent database writers require a different backup owner.
- Safety reads perform a backup only after a valid owned drain and all
other checks pass. Slow backups can outlive the caller timeout; they
remain counted until their work settles and cannot authorize sleep after
hold expiry.
- Initial and final reads each take a fresh backup. Hosts must allow
sufficient request time while retaining shutdown headroom.
- Retention settings are unchanged. Sleeping instances stop producing
duplicate hourly archives and retain their last checkpoint. Filesystem
data, encryption keys and off-provider disaster recovery remain separate
responsibilities.
- No schema migration. Disable the checkpoint flag to restore the
blanket backup blocker; automatic backups and an existing restart marker
remain active.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. Used reasoning, repository inspection, code editing
and command execution. The runtime did not expose an exact model
revision or context-window size.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 3367b75ccc fix: fence accepted work and cleanup before idle sleep (#15522)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A host can stop an idle instance to reduce unused compute.
> - Zero active runs do not prove that requests, saved work, or cleanup
are complete.
> - A client can disconnect while its request still writes, and failed
cleanup can remain only in memory or on disk.
> - This pull request holds new admission and checks accepted work,
cleanup, and persisted work under an owned drain.
> - The host gets an empty report only while those checks remain valid.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13413. That companion PR uses the same owned-hold vocabulary for
runtime services. This PR covers HTTP requests, scheduler work,
accounting, cleanup, and the instance work inventory. It does not
include the preview gateway changes.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The instance task-drain API reports process counters. It does not prove
that a host can safely stop the instance for idle sleep.

**Current behavior**

A quiet run set can coexist with an unfinished request, cleanup after a
completed run, future work, or a failed accounting write.

**Proposed behavior**

Provide a bounded owned idle hold. Block new ingress, track accepted
handler promises, inspect durable and local work, and return `none` only
when the same hold stays quiet through the checks. Keep normal
deployment drains compatible.

**Reason and benefit**

Hosts can identify eligible idle instances without treating a disconnect
or failed cleanup write as completed work.

## What Changed

- Add `purpose: "idle"`, a bounded TTL, unique owners, and owner-checked
release to task drain. Existing holds cannot be replaced by another API
request.
- Gate HTTP ingress before parsers, auth, webhooks, and MCP. Gate new
WebSocket upgrades. Track async handlers in nested Express routers and
error middleware until they settle, even after the response or client
disconnect.
- Count accepted live-event WebSocket authentication through settlement,
even after disconnects. Count detached built-in agent, managed-home and
runtime-service startup reconciliation after readiness.
- Keep health and control mutations tracked. Count control-request
authentication separately from the read-only report, including
concurrent user/company/membership writes.
- Pause new scheduler admissions during idle holds. Count work already
in flight, including database backups, and reject scans whose work
generation changes. Periodic backups block sleep without a host wake
schedule.
- Inspect accounting and orphan-cleanup spool directories without
skipping temporary or malformed entries. Retain orphan tokens through
queue splices, flush failures, and buffer overflow. Keep failed usage
capture counted until its database failure fence is written.
- Check persisted work across companies in a bounded read-only
transaction. Include deferred agent-file cleanup and saved watchdogs
whose watched issues are complete. Enabled plugins and unsupported
retained work remain blockers.
- Require the exact idle owner and completed startup tracking before
returning an empty report. Keep reports free of tenant details.
- Document the hosting protocol, retry behavior, conservative blockers,
and the remaining external provider-stop race.

## Verification

- Current head: `8d9a599b732c2047b8c671d4799065d7c90a3567`, rebased on
master `941a3fa991aeb97eb1ac390c65b7973b5f6de1ad`. Both heartbeat helper
extractions are preserved. GitHub confirms no merge conflicts.
- Focused heartbeat renderer/run-log, drain, control-auth, admission,
route and PostgreSQL inventory checks: 234 tests passed in 10 suites
after the rebase.
- The POST task-drain contract includes the expected `409` conflict
response. The 84 OpenAPI and instance-settings route tests and server
typecheck passed after that final documentation fix.
- Final accepted-upgrade/startup regression run: 104 tests passed in
five suites, including success and failure after readiness or
disconnect. Final server typecheck also passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` and the PR diff secret scan passed.
No dependency or lockfile changes are added by this PR.
- The prior verification covered HTTP disconnects and early responses,
async error handlers, concurrent authentication writes, signed
bootstrap, saved watchdogs, backup promises, orphan cleanup, spools and
failed accounting fences. Those tests passed.
- The last full local `pnpm test:run` stopped in the general-server
phase with 16,658 passing tests and five skill/connector fixture
failures caused by an ancestor workspace skill directory. That full
local run preceded this rebase and has not been repeated for the import
conflict. Full current-head CI passed: 53 successful checks and two
conditional skips, with no failures.
- All eight review findings are fixed and their threads resolved,
including accepted upgrade authentication, detached startup writes and
the POST conflict contract. Current-head Apex review is 5/5 with no new
findings; all eight review threads remain resolved.
- No live provider stop or production change was performed.

## Risks

- The hosting controller must use the owned protocol and hold external
admission through its final validation and provider stop. A legacy drain
cannot authorize idle sleep. During an idle hold, new requests receive
503 with `Retry-After: 1`; the host must handle queueing or retry before
enabling this path.
- This is a single-process protocol. An unexpected restart after the
last validation can race an external provider stop. The host must
serialize deploy/wake/sleep operations and bind the validation to the
instance it stops. Multiple replicas need shared fencing.
- Some retained state conservatively prevents sleep, including every
enabled plugin. This PR does not promise that every inactive instance
becomes eligible.
- The HTTP adapter uses Express 5 router layers. Real Express tests
cover nested routes, errors and disconnects. New routes must register
before tracking is installed. Detached work must have durable state or
explicit work tracking.
- Unrecoverable in-memory cleanup debt keeps the instance awake until
reconciliation. This change does not make such debt survive an unplanned
process crash. No schema migration or provider configuration change is
included.

and code execution. The exact deployment variant/model ID and context
window are not exposed in this session.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 202c2d307e fix(server): leave unclaimed warm Cloud databases idle (#15314)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work performed by AI agents.
> - Managed deployments prepare empty applications before an owner
claims them.
> - Those applications start database pollers even though no company can
have work.
> - Health probes also query SQL, so idle databases cannot remain
suspended.
> - This pull request adds an explicit standby marker for empty,
unclaimed Cloud apps.
> - The existing signed, durable claim resumes normal processing without
restarting the app.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An empty, unclaimed warm application runs recurring chat, email, plugin,
heartbeat, cleanup, and reconciliation queries. Its health route also
opens the database. This prevents idle database compute from suspending.

**Expected behavior**

An explicitly marked unclaimed application should keep its HTTP process
and sandbox provider plugins ready while leaving the database idle. A
successful signed claim should resume normal API behavior and background
processing. Claimed and self-hosted instances should keep their current
behavior.

**Steps to reproduce**

Start an empty Cloud-managed application and leave it unclaimed. Observe
database activity while repeatedly requesting `/api/health`. Before this
change, periodic queries continue without company data.

Related: #15153 reduces allocation during chat polling. This change
suppresses polling only for explicitly marked, empty, unclaimed Cloud
apps.

## What Changed

- Add `PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_WARM_STANDBY=1`. Check company emptiness once
after restoring the persisted Cloud runtime identity. Missing Cloud
configuration, existing data, or a persisted claim leaves normal
processing active.
- Gate recurring database pollers with an in-memory predicate. Keep
startup preparation and sandbox provider plugin loading intact.
- Serve unclaimed health probes without session or database reads and
report `warmStandby: true`. Serve standby pages/assets directly from the
UI router, bypassing session, bearer, tenant, and dynamic handlers.
Refuse API requests and all WebSocket upgrades before authentication can
query SQL or seed company data.
- Exit standby after the existing signed identity assertion commits.
Normal timers resume at their next tick; a restart restores the claim
even with stale provider variables.
- Document the marker, readiness semantics, rollout checks, and
rollback.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed. A final server typecheck also passed after
adding tests.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- Focused standby, signed claim, restart, health, static/Vite routing,
hostname, HMR, and live-events suites: 72 passed after the review fixes.
Includes real HTTP upgrade admission before/after claim.
- `pnpm test:run` was attempted locally; both superseded runs were
stopped after encountering checkout/platform failures. A clean-checkout
rerun eliminated ancestor skill-directory lookup failures. The
company-skills/runtime-cache families encounter macOS
read-only-directory rename failures (`EACCES`); all three company-skills
failures reproduce on unmodified base `bf14f803d5`. The initial full run
also reported one native runner API test failure; an isolated comparison
on both revisions was blocked by local embedded PostgreSQL startup
failures. The full [Linux CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37423263993)
passed on final commit `5016c415ea`, including all server and workspace
test shards, browser suites, typecheck, build, and release canary. This
is not a claim that the full local suite passed.
- Isolated full server with local PostgreSQL: after startup and
connection expiry, 70 health probes, 70 page requests carrying valid
synthetic tenant credentials, and 70 rejected WebSocket upgrades over 70
seconds observed zero app database connections. The signed claim
completed in 62 ms and normal polling resumed (475 database transactions
over 12 seconds). Restart with stale provider variables restored the
durable claim. The latency is local-only, not a provider wake
measurement.
- Apex review: **5/5** on `5016c415ea`, both earlier threads resolved,
no open recommendations.
- No live-provider test or production deployment was performed. An
actual database suspension/resume canary remains required before
enabling the control-plane switch.

## Risks

- Standby health reports HTTP readiness rather than current database
connectivity. The signed claim still requires a durable database write;
claimed health checks retain the SQL probe and 503 failure behavior.
- Pollers resume at their usual intervals. A suspended database may add
claim latency. Validate the real provider before enabling the marker.
- Startup preparation and sandbox plugins remain loaded. New plugins or
background loops must respect the same standby contract.
- The marker is off by default. Remove it or set it to `0` and restart
to roll back. No schema migration or claimed-workspace inactivity policy
changes.

context-window size are not exposed in this session. Assistance included

cad26c6bfb fix(tool-gateway): bound MCP discovery memory and concurrency (#14864)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents discover governed tools through the MCP gateway.
> - A listing repeated policy and full run-row reads for each catalog
tool.
> - Parallel listings multiplied those allocations during run startup.
> - One 900-tool baseline listing used 11,489 queries and about 1.7 GiB
of extra heap in a fixture.
> - This pull request shares reads within a listing and bounds whole
listings across the process.
> - The benefit is lower discovery memory use while execution still
checks current policy.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13115. Its on-demand target change affects the same listing loop.

**What happened?**

MCP discovery repeated roughly 13 reads per tool. Full run snapshots and
repeated connection configurations caused large allocations. Per-listing
bounds alone did not limit concurrent listings across gateways.

**Expected behavior**

Discovery reads shared inputs once per listing. The process bounds
active and queued listings. Catalog payload size and policy evaluation
still grow with the catalog. Tool execution checks current access rules.

**Steps to reproduce**

Create a company with a remote MCP connection, 900 catalog tools, large
schemas, and a large run snapshot. Send concurrent tools/list requests
using a run-bound gateway token. Run the committed benchmark for a
deterministic reproduction.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Baseline: f2e0f19630. Measured on Node
26.4.0 on macOS.

## What Changed

- Keep Michael Nguyen's per-listing policy cache, scalar policy reads,
16-decision bound, and catalog/connection split under repeatable read.
- Admit two whole listings per process and queue at most 32. Return 503
with tool_discovery_busy when full.
- Propagate disconnects to discovery. Stop scheduling new reads and
drain started reads before freeing the slot.
- Project context IDs in gateway authentication and GitHub runtime
discovery. Avoid loading task descriptions and results.
- Keep discovery audit counts and a SHA-256 digest instead of the full
name list. Retain access and activity audit records.
- Sweep expired named gateway tokens at startup and on the existing
scheduler. Delete at most 500 per pass. Add an idempotent expiry-index
migration. Resolve audit token references atomically so cleanup cannot
break admitted requests.
- Return GET 405 with Allow: POST on stateless MCP gateway and
runtime-tools endpoints. Keep runtime-tools authentication.
- Add red-green regressions, HTTP concurrency and policy-revocation
coverage, and browser approval assertions.
- Commit the benchmark harness, raw results, and resource-bound
documentation.

## Verification

- Baseline listing regressions failed with 722 queries for 50 tools and
6,422 for 500. The connection-row duplication regression also failed.
- Follow-up regressions failed before the fixes for full snapshot reads,
abandoned listings, full name-list audits, and expired tokens.
- Listing and scheduler tests: 14 pass. Existing gateway/policy suites
passed after preserving the cleanup return contract.
- Two HTTP journeys pass: initialize, GET/SSE rejection, 16 concurrent
500-tool listings, provider call, policy revocation, and denied retry.
Token cleanup during provider dispatch also completes successfully and
blocks subsequent requests.
- pnpm test:e2e tests/e2e/mcp-user-stories.spec.ts --grep
'@mcp-runnable': 8 pass. The approval journey clicks Allow once in the
browser. Review screenshots wait for loaded content.
- pnpm -r typecheck: passes. pnpm build: passes.
- The general server group completed with 14,755 passes and 18 failures.
The 17 startup mock failures were fixed; all 21 startup tests pass on
rerun. The one Discord timing failure passed on the unchanged baseline
and on rerun (74 tests). UI and CLI groups pass 7,632 tests. Shared and
skill groups pass 853 tests. The remaining database and adapter groups
pass 3,010 tests with one worker after a macOS shared-memory limit
interrupted a parallel run. All 149 serialized route files pass (2,762
tests).
- At 900 tools, one listing falls from 11,489 to 36 queries and from
about 1.7 GiB to 37 MiB of extra heap. Sixteen concurrent listings used
169–187 MiB of extra heap. Four connections used 39 queries per listing.
- Latest-head verification: 54 successful checks and two expected skips
on 5c0793090c. Fresh Greptile review: 5/5
with no unresolved threads.
- Reproduce with server/scripts/benchmark-tool-gateway-listing.ts. See
doc/mcp-discovery-performance.md and
doc/benchmarks/2026-10-01-mcp-discovery.json.

## Risks

- The process-wide FIFO queue can increase discovery latency. Excess
callers must retry 503 responses.
- Cancellation applies to discovery. Started database reads finish
before their slot is released.
- Audit consumers must use visibleToolCount and visibleToolsHash instead
of visibleTools.
- The expiry index can briefly lock the token table during migration.
Sweeps preserve unexpired and non-expiring tokens.
- Measurements use isolated fixtures and deterministic providers. They
do not establish a production heap limit or affected installation count.
Rate-limit reads remain uncached.

## Model Used

- Original listing optimization: Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5
(claude-opus-5-5), Claude Code, extended thinking and tool use, as
recorded by the original author.
- Follow-up fixes and verification: OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with shell
execution, file edits, database fixtures, and browser tests. The exact
serving model ID and context window are not exposed in this session.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 5b09d66183 fix(heartbeat): keep drain-time wakes queued and retry interrupted disposition handoffs (#14028)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server's heartbeat scheduler queues, admits, and recovers agent
runs.
> - A control plane arms an instance task drain before it restarts the
process, so no new run starts mid-restart.
> - Two recovery paths treated that transient hold as a permanent
verdict: a wake that arrived during a drain was written as `skipped` and
never replayed, and a corrective disposition run that the restart
interrupted counted as an exhausted attempt, so the issue went to
`blocked`.
> - Both outcomes leave an assigned issue with no run and no path until
a person notices.
> - This pull request keeps drain-time wakes in the durable queue and
gives an interrupted corrective run the same bounded transient retry any
interrupted run gets.
> - The benefit is that a graceful restart never strands or blocks an
issue by itself.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No existing issue found. I searched open PRs that touch the task drain
(#13527 adds opt-in termination of active runs; #13965 handles deferred
wakes after a stale cancellation). Neither replays drain-time wakes or
changes the corrective-handoff escalation.

**What happened?**

1. An operator accepted a plan confirmation while the instance was in a
task drain (a control plane armed it before a deploy restart).
`enqueueWakeup` wrote the assignee's continuation wake with `status:
"skipped"` and `heartbeatSkip.reason: "task_drain"`. The drain is
process-local and cleared on the restart seconds later, but nothing
replays skipped wakes. The issue stayed in `todo` with no run for 20
hours until a person retried it by hand. The stranded-issue sweeper did
not help: a `todo` issue whose latest run succeeded is treated as
deliberately handed back.
2. On another issue, the watchdog correctly raised
`successful_run_missing_state` and queued the single corrective handoff
run. A graceful server shutdown (the same deploy restart) interrupted
that run with `server_shutdown_interrupted`. On the next boot,
`reconcileStrandedAssignedIssues` saw a corrective run at
`handoffAttempt >= maxHandoffAttempts` and escalated the issue to
`blocked` with a board-owned `missing_disposition` recovery action. The
agent never got to finish one corrective attempt.

**Expected behavior**

A task drain holds admission, not the request. A wake that arrives
during a drain must run once the drain lifts or the process restarts. An
interrupted corrective run is not evidence that the agent could not
choose a disposition; it should be retried like any interrupted run, and
escalate only when that retry budget is spent or a finished attempt
still leaves no disposition.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Assign an agent an issue and `POST /api/instance/task-drain` with a
Cloud control assertion (or call `startTaskDrain({})` in a test).
2. Trigger any wake for that agent (assignment, comment, or an accepted
`request_confirmation`).
3. Observe the `agent_wakeup_requests` row: `status = skipped`, `reason
= heartbeat.scheduling_suppressed`, `payload.heartbeatSkip.reason =
task_drain`. Stop the drain or restart: no run is ever created for that
wake.
4. For the second case: let a `finish_successful_run_handoff` run be
interrupted by SIGTERM during a graceful shutdown, then boot. The issue
moves to `blocked` on the startup sweep without any retry.

**Paperclip version or commit**

master at e2f1a66aa7 (2026-09-25).

**Deployment mode**

Managed cloud instance behind a control plane that arms task drains
before deploy restarts; the code paths are the same for any operator who
uses the drain endpoint.

## What Changed

- `enqueueWakeup` no longer writes a wake as `skipped` when the only
suppression is `task_drain`. The wake and its queued run land in the
durable queue; `startNextQueuedRunForAgent` and `executeRun` already
refuse to admit work while the drain is active, and the boot-time
`resumeQueuedRuns` pass picks it up after the restart.
`worktree_instance` and `database_restore_in_progress` suppression still
write `skipped`: those holds are not transient restarts.
- `reconcileStrandedAssignedIssues`: when the latest run is a corrective
successful-run handoff at its attempt cap **and** that run is
`interrupted`, the sweeper schedules the bounded transient retry (via
`enqueueStrandedIssueRecovery` → `scheduleRecoveryRetry`) instead of
escalating. The retry keeps the handoff context, so it is still the
corrective run. If the retry budget is spent, or a finished attempt
still leaves no disposition, escalation proceeds exactly as before.
Failed corrective runs (adapter or provider failures) are unchanged:
they still escalate immediately.
- New sweep counter `successfulRunHandoffRetried`, included in the
startup and periodic recovery log lines.
- Tests: `heartbeat-task-drain-admission-release.test.ts` gains a case
that a wake during a drain is queued, held while the drain is active
(quiescence still reports true), and runs to completion once the drain
lifts. `heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` gains two cases: an
interrupted corrective run is retried with its handoff context and the
issue stays `in_progress`; an interrupted corrective run with a spent
transient budget escalates to `blocked` with the usual recovery action
evidence.

## Verification

```
pnpm -r --filter './packages/**' build
cd server
npx vitest run src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts            # 296 passed
npx vitest run src/__tests__/heartbeat-task-drain-admission-release.test.ts \
  src/__tests__/heartbeat-worktree-suppression.test.ts \
  src/__tests__/heartbeat-scheduling-suppression.test.ts \
  src/__tests__/heartbeat-task-drain.test.ts \
  src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts \
  src/services/recovery/successful-run-handoff.test.ts \
  src/__tests__/issue-recovery-actions.test.ts \
  src/__tests__/heartbeat-comment-wake-batching.test.ts \
  src/__tests__/attention-service.test.ts                                    # 226 passed
npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json                                           # clean
```

Live reproduction of the first defect: after this change was written, a
board wake issued against a draining managed instance (running current
master) was again recorded as `skipped` with `heartbeatSkip.reason =
task_drain`, which is the exact row the new test asserts no longer
appears.

## Risks

- A wake that lands during a drain now waits in the queue instead of
being dropped. `getTaskDrainStatus().pendingWakes` counts only in-flight
enqueue promises, so quiescence is unchanged and a control plane waiting
for the drain is not held longer. If a drain is stopped without a
restart, the queued run starts on the next scheduler tick.
- The interrupted-handoff retry reuses the existing transient retry
budget (two attempts) and the existing `hasActiveExecutionPath` skip, so
a sweep cannot double-schedule. Native-runtime corrective runs still
return `null` from the recovery enqueue and escalate as before.
- Self-hosted instances that never call the drain endpoint see no change
on the first path; the second path only changes behavior for corrective
runs interrupted by a graceful shutdown.

## Model Used

Claude (Anthropic) — `claude-fable-5-1`, extended thinking, tool use
(Claude Code CLI). Human-directed: diagnosis of the two production
incidents, the fix design, and review were steered by the maintainer.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip c276d3fdc3 feat(observability): report terminal run failures to Sentry (#13446)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server records the state of each agent run.
> - Terminal run failures need clear error tracking for operators.
> - The server did not report terminal `failed` or `timed_out`
transitions to Sentry.
> - This pull request reports each genuine terminal failure transition
with safe diagnostic data.
> - The benefit is faster diagnosis without changing run control flow or
exposing credentials.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The server wrote terminal run failures but did not report them to
Sentry. Operators could not see these failures in error tracking.

**Expected behavior**

The server should report each genuine transition to `failed` or
`timed_out` to Sentry.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run an agent task that reaches a terminal failure state.
2. Inspect the Sentry events for the server.
3. Observe that the terminal run failure has no matching Sentry event.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The change targets the current `master` branch.

No public GitHub issue or pull request covers this change.

## What Changed

- Add `captureRunFailure()` as a fail-open Sentry entry point.
- Add `reportRunFailure()` to filter status, resolve the adapter, redact
text, and report the failure.
- Call `reportRunFailure()` beside each of the eight terminal status
writers.
- Report six diagnostic values: the instance host, task identifier, run
identifier, error message, error code, and agent adapter.
- Group events by error code and agent adapter while keeping the
redacted message in the event.
- Report only genuine transitions and avoid duplicate finalization
events.
- Keep Sentry failures outside run control flow.

## Verification

- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/services/__tests__/run-failure-report.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/run-failure-sentry.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/native-session-resumption.test.ts`
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/services/execution-control-reconciliation.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- The full continuous-integration suite must run on this pull request.

## Risks

- The report path can add diagnostic events when Sentry is configured.
- The report path returns without action when Sentry is not configured.
- Redaction runs before length limits and before the event leaves the
process.
- The change has no migration and no schema change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code review support. The exact context
window and reasoning configuration are not exposed by the runtime.

DottaandPaperclip 728f7185f6 feat: add native in-app announcements with persistent dismissal (#13403)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Self-hosted boards need a way to show occasional product
announcements.
> - An app release should not be required to publish or withdraw a card.
> - Native card controls keep publishing consistent; the hero can use a
static image or isolated HTML/CSS animation.
> - This pull request renders a validated JSON feed with native
components.
> - It stores dismissals per account on each instance, so a closed card
stays closed across companies and browsers.
> - Named staging feeds let authors test content before production
publication.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Board application shell, announcement delivery, and user preferences.

**Problem or motivation**

Operators need a small, optional announcement card. Users need reliable
dismissal state. Authors need to test remote content without changing
the production feed.

**Proposed solution**

Add one non-modal AnnouncementWell. Fetch validated JSON and
content-addressed media through the instance server. Keep card controls
native, with optional sandboxed HTML/CSS animation in the hero. Use
stable announcement IDs for dismissal, an explicit empty manifest and
quiet 404 handling. Provide a staged publishing helper and isolated
test-drive guide.

**Alternatives considered**

Hosting the entire card as a page would move navigation and dismissal
into remote content. This change limits HTML to a scriptless, isolated
visual hero and keeps controls native. Browser-only storage would lose
dismissals across browsers, so the instance stores account preferences.

**Roadmap alignment**

ROADMAP.md has no overlapping announcement feature. A GitHub title
search found no related announcement pull requests. This work implements
a maintainer-requested feature.

## What Changed

- Add shared feed types, strict validation of every object, supported
routes, expiration and version checks.
- Add a board-only current-feed API, constrained media proxy, and
idempotent dismissal API. Store the first dismissal and its company
audit entry in one transaction.
- Cache upstream data for one hour. Use conditional requests, request
deduplication, response limits, public destination checks, and a
three-second deadline. Treat a remote 404 as an empty feed with a
fifteen-minute retry cooldown.
- Keep announcement visibility stable when focus moves to browser chrome
or another app pane; only tab visibility starts a return check.
- Add a responsive native announcement card. Respect onboarding, dialogs
and toast placement. Sync pending dismissals across tabs and retry after
reconnect or return.
- Add idempotent migrations for dismissals and validated publication
IDs, design-guide examples, static and animated Storybook examples, and
focused tests. The publication registry supports offline retries without
accepting caller-invented IDs.
- Add HTML/CSS animated heroes with static posters, automatic playback,
reduced-motion handling, strict DOMPurify validation, an empty iframe
sandbox and CSP that blocks scripts/network resources.
- Add validated staging publication, content-addressed assets, an empty
production manifest, preview fixtures, and authoring/operator
documentation.

## Verification

- The preceding implementation passed 98 targeted
shared/server/publisher/route/OpenAPI/UI tests and 127 tests including
the master rebase. The playback-control removal passes all 21
announcement UI tests, covering the rendered sandbox, fallback, reduced
motion, dismissal and slow/stale state lookups. The preceding
shared/server tests cover HTML validation and response sandbox headers.
- The playback-control removal passes UI typecheck, production UI build,
Storybook build and token gates locally. Browser verification confirms
the animated card has only its dismiss button and two links, with no
page errors. The full canonical CI matrix passed on current head
`00e416431edb610861599d50490270bbd0f3c6b6`: 32 successful checks and two
optional Storybook deployment checks skipped. This run needed no
retries. Greptile reviewed this same head at 5/5 with no outstanding
findings.
- The local canonical general-server run passed 12,063 tests before
reporting embedded-PostgreSQL startup failures in an unrelated fixture.
All 31 tests in that fixture passed across isolated retries. The UI
group passed 6,219 tests and other workspace groups passed 3,201; two
CLI database-startup failures also passed individually. Serialized
server suites were verified by the full CI matrix rather than repeating
them locally. No source changes were needed for these environment
failures.
- The real S3/CloudFront staging manifest and both media asset headers
were verified. Production remains empty/unpublished. The guide
distinguishes the preview host's disabled edge cache from production
cache requirements.
- In the isolated test-drive, the animation visibly moves without
playback controls. A 390×844 browser viewport keeps the card above
navigation. Reduced motion makes no animation request. Both themes
render correctly and browser page errors are empty. Browser fault
injection verified that scripts cannot execute and CSS cannot make
network requests; a missing animation leaves its poster and controls.
- Refresh leaves the animated card visible. Closing it persists after
reload and the API returns null. Earlier live checks verified dismissal
across browsers, company-relative CTA navigation, modal
deferral/restoration, and new-ID eligibility after restarting the same
database.
- The deployed empty feed and a real remote 404 return HTTP 200 with
null from the board API, with a usable dashboard and no announcement
popup or browser warnings.
- Authoring documentation covers staging, animated HTML constraints,
test-drive, withdrawal, ID reuse and cache-refresh steps.

## Risks

- Animation supports self-contained visual HTML/CSS and inline SVG,
without JavaScript or external resources. A static image is required.
Older builds that do not recognize the optional animation field quietly
hide that unsupported feed.
- The default feed makes an outbound request from an instance when a
board is used. Operators can disable it. Requests contain no account
IDs, company data, cookies or interaction events.
- Feed publication and withdrawal can take about 65 minutes to reach
returning users because of CDN and instance caches. Expiration also
removes visible cards locally.
- Dismissals follow an account within one instance. No-login instances
share the existing local-board identity. Separate installations do not
share state.
- Both tables are additive. A unique key prevents duplicate dismissals;
the transaction prevents duplicate first-dismissal audit entries. The
publication registry retains only validated IDs. AGENTS.md and the
implementation spec document the required exception to company scope for
these instance-level records.
- Publication was limited to separate public staging prefixes on the
existing preview host. Production remains empty/unpublished. No AWS
policies or infrastructure were changed.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The exact runtime model ID and
context-window size are not exposed in this session. Capabilities used:
reasoning, code editing, shell execution, tests, browser interaction,
and tool use.

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.

DottaandPaperclip 47ded8bf97 feat: manage AI runtime credentials through Connections (#13247)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent runs need credentials for a specific provider and sign-in
method.
> - Connections already owns accounts, grants, and access permissions.
> - AI authentication should use those same boundaries.
> - This pull request adds the storage, API, adoption, and runtime
foundation.
> - Legacy agents keep their authentication until they explicitly adopt
a managed connection.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**
AI credentials are configured separately from Connections. Agents cannot
consistently reuse a responsible user's account or a permitted shared
account.

**Proposed solution**
Manage AI accounts with the existing Connections grants and permissions.
Keep model and harness selection independent from credential selection.
Preserve legacy authentication until validated adoption.

**Alternatives considered**
A separate credential registry would duplicate ownership and access
policy. Automatic fallback would risk using the wrong account.

**Roadmap alignment**
This extends the shipped Apps, multi-user, secrets, and agent-runtime
capabilities. The maintainer requested the feature and reviewed the UI.
Related groundwork: #11899 (connection permissions), #10910 (connection
wizard), #11692 (Claude subscription profiles), and #11854 (Codex
account rotation).

## What Changed

- Add AI-purpose/runtime-auth contracts and an additive, idempotent
migration.
- Add Claude, OpenAI, OpenRouter, and Grok provider capabilities and
catalog entries.
- Store credentials on grants. Resolve responsible-user defaults or
explicit permitted grants.
- Isolate managed credentials and provider sessions across accounts.
Block missing credentials without ambient fallback.
- Keep imported legacy secrets unchanged during reconnect. Use
independent local Codex/Grok sign-in attempts for rotating credentials.
- Add authorization, migration, concurrent refresh, retry, cancellation,
and legacy-compatibility tests.

This is part 1 of a two-PR stack. The app UI follows in #13248. Merge
the foundation first.

## Verification

- Updated against master `04e364236`, preserving upstream provider login
and connector workflows.
- Full workspace typecheck, production build, Storybook build, and token
gates passed on the integrated branch. Final local-login changes passed
59 focused tests; new-agent and inbox regression suites passed 63 tests.
- Browser checks verified automatic local Claude account detection,
resumable Codex login commands, retry, focus restoration, and
desktop/phone layouts. Commands create their isolated directory before
invoking the CLI.
- All current-head CI checks passed on `2a996560a`, including all
server/workspace tests, browser shards, runner verification, typecheck,
build, and canary dry run. Greptile reviewed that commit at 5/5 with no
unresolved threads. Earlier local full-suite attempts hit the Mac
PostgreSQL shared-memory limit; the complete suites passed in CI.
- Renumbered the additive AI migration to `0276` after upstream
migrations and regenerated its snapshot. Existing legacy agents retain
their configuration.
- Added local login status checks, owner-scoped retry, managed OpenCode
remote homes, credential-aware model discovery, and task
connection-repair delivery.

## Risks

- Managed credential failures intentionally block execution. They do not
restore legacy fallback.
- Preview-era copied Codex/Grok subscriptions require independent
reconnect.
- The integrated branch has live provider acceptance coverage. This
update verifies local Claude detection and Codex API-key task repair; it
does not add a new subscription authorization/refresh or Daytona stress
pass.
- Runtime-auth connections must stay excluded from tool and channel
handling.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser testing. The exact runtime model identifier and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 9031516a7e fix: recover legacy Daytona startup failures from task and inbox (#13272)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Legacy conversation adapters can run in Daytona sandboxes.
> - A server restart during provisioning can occur before the invocation
event exists.
> - Recovery then lacks the old adapter identity and leaves a hold that
ordinary user retries cannot clear.
> - A remote launch can also fail when its host relay looks for Node in
the sandbox PATH.
> - This pull request records the adapter at claim time and restores
explicit user continuation after verified cleanup.
> - Users can recover from the task or inbox while the failed run and
uncertain action history remain intact.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13237, #13239, #13254. Those changes cover recorded conversation
runs, native user continuation, and explicit remote Stop. This change
covers legacy failure before `adapter.invoke` and exact task/inbox
Retry.

Refs #9771 for overlapping generated-command quoting. This change also
supplies the absolute host Node executable. Refs #13163 and #13264 for
the separate native restart and retained-workspace work.

**What happened?**
A legacy Daytona run interrupted during provisioning became
`process_lost` without an invocation event. Recovery preserved an
execution hold, and Retry or a new task reply could not resume it.
Cleanup could also run before the Daytona plugin was ready. On a macOS
host, a subsequent ACP relay launch failed with `env: node: No such file
or directory` because the remote launch environment did not contain the
host Node path.

**Expected behavior**
An interrupted conversation can continue after its previous execution
stops. Explicit Retry and new user replies should start a fresh turn
with the task history. Cleanup failures must remain visible and
recoverable. The host relay must use the host Node executable.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use a legacy Claude adapter with a Daytona environment.
2. Interrupt the server after it acquires the sandbox lease and before
it records `adapter.invoke`.
3. Restart and inspect the task hold.
4. Retry from the task or inbox, or send a new task reply.
5. Confirm the old sandbox has stopped and one new response arrives.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced from master at `3bafac12f796fbea02e609e1074a9639f872e9c4`.
The branch is rebased on `51b0e01ea`, including #13261 and #13270.

**Deployment mode**
Built from source on macOS with a real Daytona sandbox and the legacy
Claude ACP adapter.

## What Changed

- Count new browser specs with the scheduler's median duration in the
shard-balance check. This fixes a false policy failure after new specs
arrive from both branches. The balance threshold is unchanged.

- Persist server-owned adapter identity in the queued-to-running claim
before provisioning starts.
- Wait for provider plugin startup before restart cleanup. Keep failed
cleanup leases as active ownership blockers.
- Admit exact board retries and new user comments after verified
termination. Retain the old run, task history, approvals, and unknown
action outcomes.
- Adopt repeated Retry requests. Permit one scoped cleanup attempt per
explicit user Retry after the automatic limit, with an activity record.
A later user Retry can recover after a transient provider failure;
automatic attempts remain capped.
- Resume replies deferred during cleanup, including historical legacy
startup failures.
- Launch the host ACP relay through the absolute host Node executable.
- Add a task-level Retry button and return actionable blockers when
retry admission is refused.
- Add database regressions and three browser recovery journeys. Exclude
installed third-party dependency skills from the shipped-skill audit.

## Verification

- Current head: `d23c84181`, rebased on `51b0e01ea`. Conflict resolution
retains the saved-message recovery, local stop receipts, and wait
reasons from #13270 alongside exact legacy Retry support.
- Real Daytona: interrupted the server after lease acquisition and
before adapter invocation. Restart cleanup confirmed provider
termination. Task Retry cleared a seeded historical hold and a real
Claude agent returned `Recovery verified.` in the task. Removed the
disposable sandbox and environment after testing.
- All three browser recovery journeys passed again after the final
rebase. Task Retry, Inbox Retry, and a new reply each produced one fresh
successor, completed the task, preserved the failed run, and retained
the answer after reload.
- All 29 e2e/server shard-partition tests passed. The balance check now
uses the scheduler's median fallback for unmeasured specs, with the same
balance threshold.
- Server typecheck passed after rebuilding the generated runner
dependencies. The combined recovery/route run passed 136 of 137 tests.
Its remaining route test timed out during the first cold module import
at its explicit 10-second limit; an isolated rerun reproduced that
timeout and passed the other 51 route cases. The complete CI suite
passed on this head. The same route file passed all 52 cases in CI,
including the first cold import in 7.5 seconds.
- Before the final rebase, recursive typecheck, full build, UI token
gates, 132 targeted server tests, and the complete [CI
workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34650004085)
passed. The subsequent CI failure was the shard-balance accounting
mismatch fixed here.
- Greptile reviewed `d23c84181` at 5/5 with no outstanding actionable
findings. The complete [current CI
workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34653327949)
passed on attempt 2. All test, typecheck, build, and canary jobs passed
on the first attempt. Docker setup timed out fetching BuildKit from
Docker Hub; retrying that job and its dependent aggregate succeeded.

## Risks

- Recovery admission changes executable authority. Company, task, agent,
user, approvals, process ownership, and provider termination checks
remain required.
- Explicit continuation starts a fresh conversation with history. It
does not certify unknown external action outcomes or rerun
non-conversation adapters automatically.
- Changing task status alone does not clear an execution hold. The task
now offers an explicit Retry action.
- Historical adapter claims and invocation events take precedence over
current agent settings. Known process or webhook runs retain their hold.
Pre-upgrade rows with no adapter evidence may receive only a new
explicit user turn after termination proof; they do not become eligible
for automatic replay.
- No schema migration or sandbox-image change is required. This branch
has not been deployed to production.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository inspection, code execution,
browser automation, and test execution. The exact deployment model ID
and context window are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 3bafac12f7 refactor: remove automatic productivity reviews (#13263)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its recovery loop keeps assigned work moving after execution
failures.
> - Productivity review used run counts, comment counts, and elapsed
time to create management tasks.
> - Infrastructure failures could satisfy those rules and create more
tasks without evidence that the source work needed management review.
> - This pull request removes that detector and its continuation holds.
> - Bounded recovery, budgets, explicit blockers, and normal review
stages remain in place.
> - Existing task records stay readable and unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #5897. That request describes unwanted automatic productivity
reviews and asks to preserve existing tasks. This change retires the
feature instead of adding another configuration switch.

Related prior approaches: Refs #9191, Refs #12489. Those changes
excluded infrastructure failures or bounded review creation. This
removal replaces the detector rather than tuning its thresholds.

## What Changed

- Delete the scheduled detector, automatic task creation, evidence
refresh, and productivity continuation holds.
- Remove computed productivity fields, special attention items, badges,
and Storybook fixtures.
- Retain historical origin values, decision compatibility, and recovery
recursion exclusions. Add no migration and change no existing task data.
- Update the execution contract. Replace feature tests with regressions
for legacy task reads, ordinary attention, and bounded continuation in
the presence of an old review.

## Verification

- Targeted attention, issue-route, startup, and UI tests: 4 files and
101 tests passed.
- Updated issue-route and UI tests: 2 files and 61 tests passed.
- Bounded continuation regression: 2 cases passed, including a legacy
review plus pre-dispatch cancellation churn.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: all four gates passed.
- `git diff --check`: passed.
- `pnpm build-storybook`: passed.
- Greptile: 5/5 on `a5a612eea`, with no actionable findings.
- Scheduler and historical recovery regressions: 2 files and 28 tests
passed.
- Repository `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`: passed.
- The complete `pnpm test:run` suite passed across the CI server,
serialized-server, and workspace shards on `a5a612eea`. Stopped the
duplicate local monolithic run after the full CI suite passed; no
completed local full-suite result is claimed. The targeted local suites
above passed.
- CI serialized shard 5 initially hit a 10-second timeout in the first
interaction-route test. The complete file passed locally (78 tests),
then the single CI rerun passed.
- All CI gates are green, including the build and end-to-end suites.
- A local merge check against current `master` (`ce09ea40b`) completed
without conflicts.

## Risks

- API responses no longer include the computed `productivityReview`
field. Consumers must stop using it.
- The scheduler no longer creates management work from elapsed time, run
counts, or missing comments. This is the intended behavior change.
- Existing review tasks and explicit dependencies remain in place.
Historical origins still prevent recursive recovery treatment. No task
cleanup or data migration occurs.
- The native review handoff repair is separate from this removal.

## Model Used

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

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).

DottaandPaperclip e095b84dab feat(connections): connect services from native task feeds (#13058)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents use connections to reach external services.
> - A fresh native task can have no service tools installed.
> - The agent needs a way to discover services and ask the responsible
person for access.
> - This pull request brings the existing connection-intent flow into
native task execution.
> - The person can connect from the task, and the agent can continue
with updated tools.

## 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`.

Jannes StubbemannandClaude Fable 5.1 023e640a7e fix(db): reap idle pool connections, name the pool, and end it on shutdown (#12956)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server keeps one postgres.js pool (`packages/db/src/client.ts`,
`createDb`) for every query it runs. #10795 made the pool tunable from
the environment, but the defaults stayed at the driver defaults: an idle
connection never closes, the pool reports itself as `postgres.js`, and
no code path ever calls `sql.end()`.
> - On a hosted Paperclip deployment the server entered a restart loop
(a bundled plugin failure that #12953 describes made every run fail, and
the pool saturated). Each generation opened its ten connections, died,
and left the backends open on the PostgreSQL side until TCP keepalive
reaped them hours later. After about 20 generations the backends
exceeded `max_connections`, and every later boot died on its first
bootstrap query with `sorry, too many clients already`, before
`server.listen()`. The loop could not heal itself. #9555 describes the
same shape on a launchd-supervised self-hosted install.
> - Three properties of the pool combine to make this possible: idle
connections are never reaped, the pool is never ended on any exit path,
and an operator cannot even find the leaked backends in
`pg_stat_activity` because they carry the generic driver name.
> - This pull request gives the pool a 60 second idle timeout and the
`paperclip` application name by default, exposes `max_lifetime` and
`application_name` through the same `DATABASE_*` environment contract
that #10795 introduced, and ends the pool on the orderly SIGINT/SIGTERM
path and on the fail-loud startup path.
> - The benefit is that a restarting or crash-looping server releases
its backends instead of accumulating them, and an operator can see and
count Paperclip's connections.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

- Refs #9555 — database connection pool leak causes an infinite restart
loop under load. This PR closes the "pool never ends, idle connections
never close" part of that report.
- Refs #12953 — hosted outage report. The pool exhaustion is the second
half of that incident; the first half (a stuck sandbox provider plugin)
has its own PR.
- Related prior PRs: #9597 and #8780 both propose hard-coded
`idle_timeout` / `max_lifetime` values in `createDb`. Both predate
#10795 (merged), which made these options environment-driven; this PR
builds on the merged shape and adds the shutdown `end()` that neither
covers. #4006 and #7481 are closed earlier attempts in the same area.

## What Changed

- `packages/db/src/client.ts`
- New `resolveDatabaseClientOptions()` applies Paperclip defaults on top
of the environment: `idleTimeoutSeconds` defaults to 60
(`DEFAULT_DATABASE_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`) and `applicationName` to
`paperclip` (`DEFAULT_DATABASE_APPLICATION_NAME`). `createDb` uses it
for both the environment path and explicit options.
- `DATABASE_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS` now accepts `0` to restore the driver
default (keep idle connections open). Negative or non-integer values
still throw.
- New environment variables: `DATABASE_MAX_LIFETIME_SECONDS` (positive
integer, maps to `max_lifetime`) and `DATABASE_APPLICATION_NAME`
(non-empty string, maps to `connection.application_name`).
  - `postgresJsOptions()` maps the two new options.
- `server/src/shutdown.ts`
- `finalizeServerShutdown` gains two optional ordered steps:
`closeHttpListener` runs first, before the application services stop;
`closeDatabase` runs after the application services and before the
embedded PostgreSQL stop. A failure in either is logged and does not
stop the teardown. Final order: listener → application services →
database pool → embedded PostgreSQL → instrumentation → Sentry.
- New `closeHttpListenerForShutdown()`: stops accepting requests, closes
idle keep-alive sockets, waits up to 5 s for open connections, then
closes whatever is left. Requests still in flight are drained while
every service is available, and none can reach a route after
`sql.end()`, on the signal path and the programmatic path alike (the
programmatic path's later `server.close` finds the listener closed and
skips).
- `server/src/app.ts`: the app shutdown hook (`shutdownAppServices`) now
stops the plugin job scheduler, whose tick queries the database, so a
programmatic `shutdown()` leaves no timer running against the ended
pool.
- `server/src/index.ts`
- `startServer()` is now a thin wrapper around the boot sequence. When
the boot sequence throws after the pool exists, the wrapper ends the
pool (and the separate migration pool, when configured) before it
rethrows. This covers the `process.exit(1)` path in the main module and
the CLI `paperclip run` path alike.
- The orderly shutdown passes the same `closeDatabaseClients` to
`finalizeServerShutdown`.
- `endDatabaseClient` tolerates a client without `$client` (test
doubles) and uses a 5 second end timeout.
- Docs: `docs/deploy/database.md` gets a "Connection Pool Settings"
table with every `DATABASE_*` pool variable, its default and its effect;
`doc/DATABASE.md` lists the two new variables.
- Tests
- `packages/db/src/client-options.test.ts`: parsing of the new
variables, `0` for the idle timeout, rejection of malformed values,
driver option mapping, and the `resolveDatabaseClientOptions` defaults.
- `packages/db/src/client.test.ts` (embedded PostgreSQL):
`createDb(url)` reports `application_name = paperclip` for its own
backend, and a pool with `idleTimeoutSeconds: 1` has zero backends in
`pg_stat_activity` after the timeout.
- `server/src/shutdown.test.ts`: the listener closes before the
application services, and the database close runs between the
application services and the embedded PostgreSQL stop; a failing
database close is logged while the teardown still finishes;
`closeHttpListenerForShutdown` closes idle sockets and resolves on
close, force-closes after the grace period, and is a no-op when the
listener was never bound.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` — passes (`check:migrations`
+ `tsc --noEmit`).
- `cd server && pnpm typecheck` — passes.
- `cd packages/db && pnpm exec vitest run src/client-options.test.ts
src/client.test.ts src/client-teardown-registry.test.ts` — 9 + 18 + 3
tests pass (the `client.test.ts` cases need embedded PostgreSQL; the new
one waits up to 10 s for the idle reap and passed in about 3 s).
- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run src/shutdown.test.ts
src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts
src/__tests__/bootstrap-claim-routes.test.ts` — 34 + 11 tests pass. The
startup-feedback suite exercises `startServer()` with a mocked
`createDb`, which is why `endDatabaseClient` tolerates a client without
`$client`.
- Manual check for a reviewer: start the server against any PostgreSQL,
then run `SELECT application_name, state, count(*) FROM pg_stat_activity
GROUP BY 1, 2;`. Paperclip's backends now show `paperclip`. Leave the
server idle for more than 60 s and the idle backends disappear. Send
SIGTERM and the backends close before the process exits.

## Risks

- Behavior change with no environment set: idle pooled connections now
close after 60 s. The next query after an idle period pays a reconnect
(single-digit milliseconds on a local socket). postgres.js reconnects
transparently. Set `DATABASE_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=0` to keep the
previous behavior.
- `application_name` changes from `postgres.js` to `paperclip`. Anything
that filtered `pg_stat_activity` on the old name would need an update;
nothing in this repo does.
- The HTTP listener now closes at the start of the final teardown (after
the heartbeat run drain, which still needs the API for running agents).
The pool close runs after the application services. A late query from a
timer that survived the service shutdown would fail with a driver
"connection ended" error instead of running; the known database-backed
timer (the plugin job scheduler) is now stopped in the service shutdown.
- The listener drain adds at most 5 s to a shutdown while long-lived
connections (for example WebSocket clients) are open; after that they
are closed forcibly.
- `startServer()` is split into a wrapper and the boot sequence. The
exported signature and return type are unchanged.
- No migration, no schema change.

## Model Used

- Claude Fable 5.1 (`claude-fable-5-1`) via Claude Code, extended
thinking, tool use (file edits, shell, test runs). The change was
produced with the model and reviewed by the submitting human.

DottaandPaperclip 0ffc091473 feat(connections): add durable GitHub identities and webhooks (#12843)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents need source control access for repository work
> - A shared token cannot preserve the responsible person's identity or
an agent's dedicated identity
> - GitHub App tokens also need durable refresh, repository access
checks, and webhook delivery
> - Paperclip already has managed connections, encrypted grants, run
secret leases, and merge-confirmation behavior
> - This pull request extends those systems with GitHub identities
instead of adding a parallel credential system
> - The benefit is durable GitHub access with explicit identity,
repository, runtime, and webhook boundaries

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue describes this connection change. This
description follows the feature request template.

**Subsystem affected**

Connected Apps, connection grants, secret resolution, native Git runtime
setup, webhook processing, and the Apps UI.

**Problem or motivation**

Users need to connect GitHub once and let agents use the correct GitHub
identity. A run should use a dedicated agent account when one exists.
Otherwise, it should use the responsible person's account. The
connection must survive token expiry, repository access changes, and
temporary instance downtime.

**Proposed solution**

Add user-owned and agent-owned GitHub grants to the existing connection
model. Resolve one identity for MCP, Git, `gh`, health checks, and
webhook bindings. Store provider tokens in the existing encrypted secret
system. Refresh expiring token pairs under the existing lease and
compare-and-swap path. Register signed Cloud webhook bindings and
process normalized pull request and installation events through a
durable local inbox.

**Alternatives considered**

An organization-wide GitHub token would lose person and agent
attribution. Environment variables alone would bypass the managed
connection and grant model. A new GitHub-only credential store would
duplicate the existing secret and access systems. GitHub App
installation tokens and private-key custody remain outside this first
version.

**Roadmap alignment**

This change implements the Connected Apps direction. It also extends the
shipped MCP Tool Gateway, per-agent secret access, and
action-attribution systems. It does not add a repository catalog. The
open repository catalog work in
[#11234](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/11234) is related
and complementary.

## What Changed

- Added agent-owned connection grants and a per-agent credential policy
with company and subject constraints.
- Added a managed GitHub App method while keeping the personal access
token method as an advanced fallback.
- Added durable access-token and refresh-token handling with proactive
rotation and one automatic recovery after a provider `401`.
- Added GitHub identity and installation summaries without storing
repository-name lists.
- Added signed Cloud webhook binding, event lease, acknowledgement,
local idempotency, pull request merge processing, and installation
access handling.
- Added one identity resolver for MCP, native Git, `gh`, checkout,
health checks, and webhook bindings.
- Added a class-3 run projection for `GH_TOKEN`, `GITHUB_TOKEN`, a
`github.com`-only credential helper, SSH-to-HTTPS rewrite, and GitHub
noreply commit attribution.
- Added personal and dedicated-agent setup choices plus identity,
repository, continuity, and webhook status in the Apps UI.
- Added schema migrations, tests, and connection documentation.

## Verification

- The current head is fully green in GitHub CI, including build,
typecheck, all serialized/general server shards, all browser shards,
policy, canary dry run, review, and security checks.
- Live staging proof completed with a non-expiring GitHub App user
token, selected-repository installation, repository add/remove refresh,
managed MCP, native `gh`, HTTPS clone/push/delete, GitHub noreply commit
attribution, signed merged-PR webhook acceptance, durable
Cloud-to-instance delivery, and installation-access event processing.
Temporary branches and temporary repository access were removed
afterward.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed before and after the rebase onto
`origin/master`.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- The focused connector suite passed 285 tests after the rebase.
- The full stable suite passed 5,790 tests and failed 22 tests across 8
general server files. The failures reproduced as shared-runner
environment issues. They included `/tmp` versus `/private/tmp`, closed
database connections, and invalid high ephemeral ports. The focused
connection tests pass in isolation.

## Risks

- Migrations add agent grant subjects and a durable connection-event
inbox. Migration numbering and safety checks pass.
- A raw GitHub user token enters the agent process for Git and `gh`.
Per-tool Ask-first controls cannot limit those shell operations. The UI
warns users about this boundary.
- GitHub App user tokens can be non-expiring. Paperclip performs a
continuity check every 30 days, but provider revocation still requires a
reconnect.
- The webhook path accepts only signed and bounded payloads. It stores a
minimal normalized record and no raw provider payload.
- GitHub repository permissions remain authoritative. Removed access can
make a cached repository count temporarily stale, but runtime access
fails immediately.

Dotta 7b094724e6 fix(runner): recover native sessions across restarts (#12845)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Paperclip Runner keeps durable run and provider state outside
one server process.
> - A server restart can leave that runner alive or can interrupt it
after a provider checkpoint.
> - The old startup path used handoff intent and PID evidence, but it
did not reconstruct native ownership.
> - That gap could block the issue, create a replacement run, or start
duplicate provider work.
> - This pull request adds durable same-run recovery for coordinated and
uncoordinated restarts.
> - The benefit is exact recovery of the run, runner, session, provider,
steering, and finalization state.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #9628. That pull request added earlier local-adapter hot-restart
work. This change adds native PRP authority reconstruction and same-run
provider resume.

Refs #10935. That pull request handles missing hot-restart snapshots.
This change also supports hard restarts with no snapshot.

Refs #11624. That pull request prevents unsafe retry after an adopted
legacy process exits. This change reconciles native terminal evidence
before provider recovery.

Refs #12070. That pull request improves process liveness checks. This
change also binds recovery to a process-start fingerprint and fails
closed on ambiguity.

**What happened?**

The server could record hot-restart intent, but startup did not rebuild
native runner ownership. A live runner could not re-register its PRP
authority. A dead runner could not resume the exact native and provider
session on the same heartbeat run. Generic recovery could then block the
issue or create replacement work.

**Expected behavior**

A live native runner must reconnect with the same PID and logical
identities. A dead runner must resume the same durable session and
heartbeat run with only a new operating-system PID. A proposed or
terminal result must finalize once before any provider turn starts.
Ambiguous process or session evidence must stay blocked without a signal
or duplicate spawn.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a Paperclip Runner heartbeat and wait for an active provider
turn.
2. Restart only the Paperclip server, with or without a hot-restart
marker.
3. Observe that the old startup path does not reconstruct the native
control-plane authority.
4. Kill both the server and runner after a provider checkpoint.
5. Observe that the old path cannot resume the exact native session on
the original heartbeat run.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The defect was reproduced from commit
`1991f31fd53e7f7794d5c2e4b93be384ade2b41d`. This branch is rebased onto
the current `master`.

**Deployment mode**

Local development and self-hosted server deployments that use the local
Paperclip Runner.

## What Changed

- Added correlated hot-restart requests and version-compatible native
handoff fields.
- Added controller boot identity, process-start identity, controller
generation, recovery state, request id, and bounded history to the
native finalization ledger.
- Added transactional recovery claims for live-runner reattach,
dead-runner resume, and incomplete bootstrap.
- Added fail-closed ownership takeover rules and process identity
validation.
- Added live runner adoption to the local runner transport without a
duplicate spawn.
- Added same-run provider checkpoint resume and legacy retry-row
compatibility.
- Reconciled proposed and terminal results before runner or provider
recovery.
- Bound the HTTP and PRP listener before startup recovery and delayed
scheduling and generic reapers until classification completes.
- Added restart-aware health diagnostics, run-log recovery transitions,
durable runner diagnostics, and bounded shutdown finalizer draining.
- Moved restart-survivable diagnostics into runner-owned, pre-redacted
bounded writes; raw stdout and stderr are never persisted.
- Added process-start fencing for controller, runner, and provider PIDs;
startup classifies every candidate without an implicit cap.
- Added crash-recoverable, contention-safe development restart-request
coordination and failed-startup listener cleanup.
- Added a credential-free real-process restart suite for eight restart,
scale, and identity scenarios.
- Documented native restart operation, persistence, diagnostics, and
verification.

## Verification

- The documented native restart commands passed. They ran eight
real-process/database recovery scenarios and the live runner adoption
transport test.
- Native executor tests passed: 111 tests.
- Heartbeat recovery tests passed: 124 tests.
- Hot restart, health, and shutdown tests passed: 52 tests.
- The broader affected server suite passed: 350 tests.
- Focused native recovery and startup tests passed: 49 tests.
- Runner transport and control-plane tests passed: 63 tests.
- Runner-owned diagnostic tests passed for write-time bounding,
credential redaction, private file modes, and raw stream
non-persistence.
- Development restart coordination tests passed: 11 tests.
- Database migration checks and the partial-application/replay
regression test passed.
- Server, database, and Paperclip Runner typechecks passed.
- `git diff --check` passed.
- Full Paperclip PR CI passed, including build, canary, all five general
server shards, all five serialized server shards, all three browser E2E
shards, workspace suites, and release-registry verification.
- Greptile completed at 5/5 with no outstanding findings,
recommendations, follow-ups, or open review threads.

## Risks

- Moderate risk. This changes startup ordering and ownership transfer
for active native runs.
- The migration adds nullable columns and does not rewrite existing
rows.
- Recovery fails closed when process or durable session identity is
incomplete or contradictory.
- The first implementation supports the local Paperclip Runner. Remote
targets keep their existing behavior.
- The real-process suite covers cleanup and asserts that no runner or
provider process survives each test.

Devin Foley 174e35a144 fix(server): stop paging Sentry for supervised boot races in managed cloud (#12772)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server refuses to boot when its database is not migrated, or
when an authenticated public deployment has no `DATABASE_URL`. These
refusals are deliberate and correct.
> - In managed cloud, a supervisor creates each stack, migrates its
fresh database, applies configuration, and restarts the app. The app
container often boots before those steps finish.
> - Each early boot hits one of the two refusals, exits, and captures
the refusal to Sentry. One fleet build batch produces hundreds of
identical expected events. Real errors get buried.
> - This pull request classifies exactly those two refusals as expected
transients when `PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_API_ORIGIN` marks a supervised
deployment, and skips only the Sentry capture for them.
> - The benefit is a clean error signal: expected provisioning noise
stops, and every real failure still reports.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A managed-cloud stack boots its app container before the supervisor
migrates the empty database or finishes applying configuration. The
container refuses to start, crash-loops briefly, and converges after the
supervisor restarts it. Every refused boot sends an error event to
Sentry. A batch of new stacks produces hundreds of these expected
events.

**Expected behavior**

The refusal logs and exits nonzero, so the supervisor can act. Sentry
receives no event for an expected provisioning transient. Sentry still
receives events for real failures: schema drift, malformed
configuration, and every refusal outside managed cloud.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Set `PAPERCLIP_MIGRATION_AUTO_APPLY=false`,
`PAPERCLIP_MIGRATION_PROMPT=never`, `SENTRY_DSN`, and
`PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_API_ORIGIN`.
2. Point `DATABASE_URL` at an empty database and start the server.
3. The server refuses to start. Before this change it also captures the
refusal to Sentry on every boot.

**Deployment mode**

Authenticated public (managed cloud).

## What Changed

- New `server/src/startup-refusals.ts`: a `StartupRefusalError` class
for refusals whose remedy belongs to the deployment supervisor,
`migrationRefusalError()` to classify a pending-migrations refusal (zero
applied migrations = never migrated = supervised transient; any applied
history = drift = plain always-reported `Error`), and
`shouldReportStartupFailure()` for the capture decision.
- `server/src/index.ts`: the pending-migrations refusal uses the
classifier; the missing-`DATABASE_URL` refusal under the
authenticated-public contract becomes a `StartupRefusalError` (the
malformed-URL refusal stays a plain `Error`); the startup crash handler
consults `shouldReportStartupFailure()` before `captureException`.
Logging and the nonzero exit are unchanged.
- New `server/src/__tests__/startup-refusals.test.ts` covering the
classification and decision matrix, including the unchanged self-hosted
paths.

## Verification

- `pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/startup-refusals.test.ts` — 7 passed.
- Review the decision matrix in the test file: refusals report when
`PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_API_ORIGIN` is absent or blank; non-refusal errors and
non-`Error` throwables always report; drift always reports.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change only skips a Sentry capture in one narrow,
marker-gated case. Boot behavior, logging, and the exit code do not
change.
- Self-hosted deployments do not set `PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_API_ORIGIN`, so
their reporting is unchanged, and the tests pin that.
- A supervised deployment with a genuinely stuck migration runner loses
per-boot Sentry events for that stack. The supervisor's own health
checks and monitoring own that signal, and the container logs still
carry the refusal.

DottaandPaperclip 141f202e40 Clean up experimental settings features (#12681)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app that people use to manage AI agents
for work.
> - Instance settings control optional product features and developer
tools.
> - The experimental settings page mixed active experiments, internal
tools, and old recovery controls.
> - Some workspace links also used the selected company instead of the
workspace owner.
> - These problems made settings hard to scan and could send users to
the wrong company route.
> - This pull request removes old controls, groups developer settings,
and resolves workspace links from workspace data.
> - The benefit is a smaller settings surface and correct workspace
navigation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

This improves the instance experimental settings page, task watchdog
controls, dependency wake recovery, and execution workspace routes.

**Current behavior**

The settings page shows old recovery controls and mixes product
experiments with internal developer settings. Task watchdogs require an
extra feature flag. Some direct workspace links use the current company
prefix instead of the company that owns the workspace.

**Proposed behavior**

Remove the old task recovery experiment and its unused API surface. Make
task watchdog controls available without the removed flag. Put worktree
execution and managed environment controls in the developer section.
Resolve direct workspace links from the workspace owner and reject a
company prefix that does not own the workspace.

**Reason and benefit**

The smaller settings page is easier to understand. The server keeps only
the dependency wake backstop that it still uses. Workspace links open
under the correct company route.

**Breaking changes**

This removes the experimental issue graph recovery preview and run
endpoints. It also removes the task watchdog feature flag. Task watchdog
data and dependency wake behavior remain available.

## What Changed

- Removed the old task watchdog and issue graph recovery feature flags.
- Removed the old issue graph recovery preview, run controls, API
contracts, and unused recovery implementation.
- Kept resolved dependency wakes as the scheduler backstop.
- Grouped product experiments and Paperclip developer settings on the
instance settings page.
- Made task watchdog controls available without an extra experimental
flag.
- Added owner-aware redirects and company checks for execution workspace
routes.
- Hid the false stopped-state badge while a workspace has no active
runtime state.
- Updated focused server and UI tests for the new behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm test:run` completed with 5,620 passing tests and four failures
in unchanged workspace runtime port tests. The same four failures repeat
when the two files run alone.
- The complete GitHub CI matrix passed, including all server, serialized
server, build, canary, and end-to-end jobs.

## Risks

- Clients that call the removed experimental recovery endpoints must
stop calling them.
- The route checks depend on workspace detail access. An unknown or
cross-company workspace returns the global not-found page.
- There are no database migrations, lockfile changes, workflow changes,
or design image changes.

Dotta bc9ba7cd26 feat(runner): project native runs into task threads (#12321)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The experimental Paperclip Runner can execute a guarded Codex run
and persist provider-neutral events.
> - The task page still reads direct-adapter transcripts and cannot
present those native events.
> - Structured runner questions must also use the existing task
interaction experience.
> - Runtime selection must use the persisted run mode, not an adapter
name or a current feature flag.
> - This pull request projects native events and questions into the
existing task thread.
> - Direct adapters keep their existing transcript, composer,
interaction, and finalization paths.
> - The benefit is a complete native Codex task thread without a
behavior change for existing adapters.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12202. This pull request replaces that stale implementation on
current `master`.

**What happened?**

The server persists native runner events and structured input requests.
The task page only consumes direct-adapter transcripts. A native run
therefore cannot present a complete transcript, usage, or question flow
through the normal task experience.

**Expected behavior**

Native runs project persisted provider-neutral events into the existing
task thread. Native structured questions use the existing interaction
card. Direct adapters retain their current behavior.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Enable the experimental runner.
2. Start a native Codex run that emits progress, usage, a structured
question, and a final reply.
3. Open the task page.
4. Observe that the direct-adapter transcript path cannot project the
native event records.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `67f9867bc`.

## What Changed

- Add the canonical structured-question validator and shared contract
exports.
- Materialize native input requests as existing task interactions.
- Validate native answers and deliver them through the durable
question-response receipt.
- Resume the original PRP request with an idempotent `request.resolve`
command.
- Project native messages, tool activity, cumulative usage, and final
replies into the existing transcript model.
- Propagate persisted `runtimeMode` to the task page and select native
handling only for `runtimeMode: "native"`.
- Expire pending interactions through the shared issue service on every
terminal transition, including decisions, stalled reviews, tree control,
and pipeline retry cleanup.
- Queue native run cancellation while a transaction is open and execute
it only after the owning transaction commits.
- Keep nonterminal and non-runner issue paths on their existing service
call shapes and behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed, including the
Rust runner release build and protocol/catalog drift gates.
- Focused native-thread and lifecycle suites — 18 files and 481 tests
passed during review.
- `issue-execution-policy-routes.test.ts` — 19/19 passed after the final
transactional-queue expectation update.
- `issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts` — 87/87 passed in the
final isolated compatibility rerun.
- GitHub Actions — policy, build, canary, typecheck/release registry, 5
serialized server shards, 8 general-test shards, 3 browser shards, and
both aggregate gates passed on `7793f3193`.
- Security — Snyk, Socket Project Report, Socket PR Alerts, and
Superagent passed.
- Greptile — 5/5 on `7793f3193`; all actionable review threads resolved.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
- Diff against `master`: 44 files.

## Compatibility Boundary

- Native transcript polling only runs when the persisted run reports
`runtimeMode: "native"`.
- Missing or legacy runtime modes continue through
`useLiveRunTranscripts`.
- Legacy questions keep the existing optional free-text choice.
- Native closed select sets can suppress that legacy fallback.
- Terminal cleanup uses the same issue service for native and legacy
interactions; only a bound native question schedules a native run
cancellation.
- Native cancellation happens after transaction commit, so failed or
rolled-back writes do not cancel a still-valid run.
- The durable delivery service checks the original native request before
it considers a continuation run.
- This pull request adds no migration, dependency, workflow, manifest,
or lockfile change.

## Risks

The main risk is routing a direct-adapter task through native handling
or changing terminal issue behavior. The implementation selects the
native path only from persisted runtime facts, retains the existing
nonterminal call shape, and schedules native cancellation only for a
validated bound native question after commit. Focused and
repository-wide tests cover both paths. Native requests remain bound to
the company, issue, run, and agent; answers are validated, durable, and
idempotent across reconnects.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 family. The client does not expose the exact
deployment ID or context window. Agentic reasoning, tool use, and code
execution were enabled.

DottaandPaperclip b51112798f feat(apps): improve gateway and workspace connection UX (#12340)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - App connections must work in both the operator UI and agent tool
gateway.
> - The first stack layer adds secure remote connections.
> - Operators still need clear setup, test, and recovery states.
> - This pull request adds the gateway behavior and the workspace
connection experience.
> - The benefit is a connection flow that is easier to understand and
recover.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #11965

This is stack 2 of 11. It depends on stack 1 and replaces another
reviewable part of #11965.

## What Changed

- Improve remote tool gateway connection behavior.
- Add clearer app setup, test, and recovery states.
- Add focused server and UI tests for the new paths.
- Keep the diff isolated from later identity and catalog work.
- Stabilize DNS-pinned remote HTTP protocol fixtures and the
managed-runtime public-origin fixture for this independently tested
layer.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts` (150 passed)
- `pnpm test:run`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm build`

## Risks

- Gateway errors now surface through new user-facing states.
- A stale connection can require a new setup attempt.
- The change does not add a database migration.
- The injected HTTP transport and public URL are test-only fixtures;
production DNS pinning and runtime behavior are unchanged.

> I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This stack continues the existing app
connection work from #11965 and does not duplicate another planned item.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip a20a4944ec feat: add Grok device login to the sandbox login panel (#12469)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip uses adapters to connect agents and model providers to its
control plane
> - The sandbox login panel supports displayed-code login for selected
adapters
> - Grok users need the same login path and a private credential home
for later runs
> - This pull request adds Grok support to the shared device-login path
and preserves the existing Codex path
> - The benefit is one secure login flow for both adapters with
company-scoped credential storage

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Agent or provider**

Grok Local needs displayed-code login support in the sandbox login
panel.

**Why this adapter is useful**

This change lets users sign in to Grok from the sandbox login panel. It
also gives later Grok runs access to the stored credential.

**How the agent is invoked**

The Grok local adapter uses its login command through the shared
displayed-code login flow. Later runs receive the managed home through
`GROK_HOME`.

**Additional context**

The change uses adapter-scoped login lifecycle handling. It stores the
credential in a company-scoped directory with mode `0700`, and it stores
the credential file with mode `0600`.

## What Changed

- Rename the shared device-login modules to adapter-neutral names.
- Scope the shared login lifecycle to a closed adapter set.
- Return the device-login URL that the provider prints.
- Add the Grok prompt parser, login command, capability, and login panel
entry.
- Store the Grok credential in a private, company-scoped home directory.
- Pass `GROK_HOME` to later Grok runs.
- Add tests for the Grok adapter, the Daytona sandbox provider, the
server login path, and the user interface.

## Verification

- Run `pnpm vitest run
packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/adapter-auth-promotion.test.ts`.
- Run the Grok adapter package suite.
- Run the Daytona sandbox provider suite.
- Run the server device-login suites.
- Run the user interface suite.
- Confirm the full CI suite passes.

## Risks

The change extends shared login lifecycle code to another adapter. A
regression could affect Codex login. The credential path uses explicit
`chmod` calls to keep the directory at mode `0700` and the file at mode
`0600`.
