DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 8eabb13ebd fix(recovery): retry a system-woken run once when it lost its runner before any turn (#20873)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run on a remote sandbox can lose its Runner process before
its same-run retry reattaches. The run then fails with
`runner_remote_process_identity_unavailable`
> - After saved-work recovery, the server requests one Retry by itself,
but only for user wakes. System wakes (monitors, automatic assignments)
rest on the visible Retry
> - On staging, a monitor wake's run lost its Runner before it started
any provider turn. Nothing it did could be repeated, but the task stayed
blocked until a person clicked Retry
> - This pull request lets that one case continue automatically, once,
under the run's responsible user
> - The benefit is that a system-woken task whose run never reached a
provider turn continues without a person

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
On staging, a monitor wake (`issue_monitor_due`) started a remote native
run. Its `session.snapshot` command timed out before any turn. The
same-run retry found the Runner process gone (`process_not_running`,
lifecycle `ready`) and the run failed with
`runner_remote_process_identity_unavailable`. The run had no turn event
and no tool event. Saved-work recovery recovered the files, but
`requestInterruptedNativeTurnRetry` refused with `not_user_request`, so
the task stayed blocked on a manual Retry.

**What did you expect to happen?**
When the run proves that it did no provider turn, the server requests
the Retry once by itself, as it does for user wakes.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. A system wake starts a remote native run.
2. The run fails before any turn event, and the same-run retry finds the
Runner gone.
3. Saved-work recovery completes. No Retry is requested; the task waits
for a person.

Refs #20872, #20853

## What Changed

The rule that changed, exactly: in `requestInterruptedNativeTurnRetry`
(`server/src/services/heartbeat/restart-interrupted-turn.ts`), a run
whose wake was not requested by a user used to stop with
`not_user_request` in all cases. Now it requests the task Retry only
when all of these are true:

- the run failed with one of the existing reattachment-loss codes
(unchanged gate);
- a positive durable record proves that no turn was ever issued: the
run's last `native.remote_runner_recovery_failed` event carries
`remoteRunnerRecovery` with `stage: process_verification`, `reason:
process_not_running` and `providerTurnIssued: false`;
- the run also recorded no turn event and no tool event;
- the run has a `responsibleUserId`; the Retry runs under that user;
- the run is not itself a `task_retry` run;
- the task is still open and assigned to the same agent (unchanged
gate).

An absence of run events is never enough: a turn can reach the provider
before its events are stored (Greptile, first review).

- New `withRemoteRunnerTurnProof` (`native-session-executor.ts`): when a
same-run reattachment is refused because the sandbox proved the Runner
process gone (exit 45, not an unreachable sandbox), the executor reads
the run's controller journal. The controller records each turn command
there before it sends it. Only when
`runnerdStateProvesNoRemoteProviderTurn` holds (just
`run.prepare`/`session.open` and maintenance commands such as
`session.snapshot`, and only session-open events) does it add
`providerTurnIssued: false` to the diagnostic. This is the same proof
that restart recovery already uses for `bootstrap_incomplete`.
`RemoteRunnerRecoveryDiagnostic` keeps the field only as `false`.
- Which staging shapes this covers: a run whose journal holds no turn
command. Whether c14bab19 (the `session.snapshot` timeout) qualifies
depends on its controller journal, which staging does not expose; if its
journal held a `turn.start`, it stays on the manual Retry floor.
32376b3a (`turn.submitted`, then a `turn.start` timeout) always stays on
the floor.
- Everything else about system wakes is unchanged: without the journal
proof, with any turn or tool event, or without a responsible user, a
system wake still rests on the visible Retry.
- Bounded: the Retry uses the existing idempotency key
`restart-interrupted-turn:<runId>`, so it is requested at most once per
run. Its successor is a user-attributed `task_retry` run, so if that run
also loses its Runner, the existing `automatic_retry_used` rule leaves
it on the visible Retry. No loop is possible.
- Attribution: `requestTaskRetry` records `issue.retry_requested` with
actor `restart-recovery` on behalf of the run's responsible user.
Admission keeps every gate (saved-work recovery, stop proof, approvals,
pause, budget, ownership).
- Tests in
`server/src/services/workspace-recovery-retry-copyback.test.ts`: a
positive case (monitor wake, Runner proven gone, journal proof),
including the second-loss `automatic_retry_used` check. Negative cases:
no run events but no journal proof (the Greptile shape), a settled turn,
a tool event, no responsible user.
- New
`server/src/services/native-runtime/remote-runner-turn-proof.test.ts`:
the proof is recorded only for a journal of session commands; not for a
`turn.start` command, a committed turn event, an unreadable journal, or
an unreachable sandbox (`probe_transport_failed`).
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describes the rule.

## Verification

- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/workspace-recovery-retry-copyback.test.ts`: 83 passed.
- Red on master (product hunk removed): the positive case fails with
`expected { requested: false, … } to match object { requested: true }`.
- Red on the first head (a244ad3b): the "no run events but no journal
proof" case is requested automatically; CI's `run-completion.test.ts`
("replays saved user intent … system_wake") failed for the same reason.
Both pass now.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/remote-runner-turn-proof.test.ts`: 4 passed.
`native-session-executor.test.ts`, `run-completion.test.ts`,
`runtime-execution.test.ts`: 1571 tests passed (one local `afterAll`
hook timeout under load).
- `cd server && pnpm exec tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json`: passes.

## Risks

- Low to medium. A system-woken task can now start one new run without a
person. This happens only when the controller journal proves that no
turn command was ever issued, so no provider work or tool side effect
from that run can be repeated. The Retry starts a fresh provider
session, like a manual Retry.
- The Retry runs with the run's responsible user's authority. That user
already authorized the failed run. If the user lost access,
`requestTaskRetry` refuses and the visible Retry remains.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), with tool use and code execution
in an agent harness.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 566a97b882 fix(native): an unretirable predecessor sends the next attempt to a fresh sandbox (#20863)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs on a reused sandbox keep the previous run's warm Runner,
and a new run must retire that owner before it starts
> - #20844 retires the owner when Paperclip can prove it stopped. Some
owners can never be proven stopped: the controller journal drain
outlives the close grace, the Runner never confirms suspension, or a
parked question leaves a tool input unanswered
> - Then the new run failed before any provider work, and the task
stayed blocked with no automatic continuation
> - The general answer is to leave the old Runner on its sandbox and
start the next attempt on a fresh sandbox restored from the saved
workspace
> - This pull request adds that fallback for every path that retires a
predecessor, and settles a parked question's tool input once its Runner
is gone
> - The benefit is that an unprovable predecessor no longer fails a task
that did no work

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
An automatic wake started a new run 30 to 60 seconds after a long
successful run on the same task, on the same reused sandbox. The new run
had to retire the previous run's warm session first. The retirement
failed and the run failed before any provider work, with one of:
- `Controller journal drain timed out; preserve the session before
replacing its writer.` (during instruction preparation, before runtime
selection, or in the executor);
- `provider_transport_failed: runner did not durably suspend before
checkpoint` (during instruction preparation);
- `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate;
retirement_refused=journal_tool_input_unanswered` (the previous run had
parked on a question).
The tasks rested `blocked` with a reconciliation hold or with nothing
scheduled. One bounded retry reused the same sandbox and ended
`execution_finalization_deadline_exceeded`, then its recovery refused
with `allocation_ownership_ambiguous`.

**Expected behavior**
A run that did no provider work does not fail the task because its
predecessor cannot be retired. The next attempt drops the reused sandbox
and starts on a fresh one restored from the saved workspace. Unsaved
work is never dropped: when the workspace or the session backup is not
durably saved, the sandbox is kept and today's behavior applies.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Complete a warm native run on a Daytona sandbox.
2. Wake the task again so that the next run must retire the warm owner
(configuration change, new session, changed agent files).
3. Make the owner's close fail (journal drain timeout, unconfirmed
suspension).
4. The new run fails before provider work and the task is not continued.

Refs #20844, #18373.

## What Changed

- `native-runtime/predecessor-retirement.ts`: a typed pre-provider error
`NativePredecessorRetirementUnprovenError`
(`native_predecessor_retirement_unproven`) and the `replaceBeforeReuse`
lease marker.
- Native executor: every path that retires a predecessor for a new run
(instruction-copy claim, instruction-directory reservation, session
reset, configuration change) throws the typed error when the close
fails. The owner stays registered for its own sandbox, so no run on that
sandbox launches over it. A run on a different sandbox forgets that
owner instead of replaying its cached rejected close. The executor does
not settle this error as a provider failure.
- A prior-owner fence that refuses a terminal owner on a resumed sandbox
(`prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`) also throws the typed
error.
- Retirement of a finished remote owner accepts an unanswered tool input
when the owner's committed result is a governed-wait park
(`response_wake` on a task interaction) and its Runner's sandbox lease
ended elsewhere.
- Heartbeat (`heartbeat/predecessor-retirement-fallback.ts`): on the
typed error with no execution-start evidence and no result, mark this
run's reusable lease on that sandbox `replaceBeforeReuse` and log
`environment.lease_replacement_requested`. After the run ends, `failRun`
hands the prepared workspace on only through the shared unchanged-files
proof (`proveRemoteWorkspaceUnchanged`; a provisioning command or any
runner command refuses it). With the proof it records
`predecessorRetirementFallback`, closes the run's coordinator without a
result and re-queues the run in the uncharged `interrupted_preparation`
lane (native and legacy runtime modes); a run that answered a task
interaction keeps its own wake in that uncharged lane, so the retry
still carries the answer. Without the proof the workspace stays dirty,
heartbeat runs today's failed-workspace preservation and no retry is
scheduled.
- Environment runtime: a marked lease is replaced instead of resumed,
under the same rule as a failed resume
(`reusableSandboxReplacementIsSafe`: run ended, clean workspace with a
committed save, verified harness backup). The old lease goes to
`pending_cleanup` for the sweep. Otherwise the sandbox is resumed as
before.
- Chaos: session fault SR1U, the SR1 variant where the retained owner
cannot be retired. The server gets a test-only fault
(`PAPERCLIP_TEST_WARM_RETIREMENT_FAULT=unconfirmed`, armed only when
`NODE_ENV=test`). The oracle allows only the fallback failure and
requires the succeeding follow-up on a different sandbox.
- Docs: `doc/plugins/PLUGIN_RUNNER_EXECUTION.md`, chaos README.

## Verification

- RED on master before this change (with #20844), then GREEN:
- `native-session-executor.test.ts -t "predecessor cannot be retired"`:
base fails with `Error: Controller journal drain timed out…` instead of
the typed error.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts -t "unretired predecessor"`
(instruction preparation): same base failure.
- `native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts -t "unacknowledged"`: base
fails with `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate;
retirement_refused=journal_tool_input_unanswered`.
- New contract tests: `heartbeat-native-predispatch-retry.test.ts`
(claimed native run: lease marked, activity logged, uncharged
`interrupted_preparation` retry, no recovery action, task not blocked,
retry succeeds) and
`environment-runtime-reusable-resume-replacement.test.ts` (a marked
lease is replaced without a resume; with unsaved work or no verified
backup it resumes as before),
`remote-workspace-unchanged-release.test.ts` (an untouched workspace is
handed on; a setup-written one stays dirty) and `retries.test.ts` (an
answered interaction re-queued in the uncharged lane stays a
resolved-interaction continuation with no failure retry spent).
- Existing suites pass: the native executor, recovered-owner follow-up,
instruction working copy, run completion, run failure cause and resume
replacement test files. `pnpm exec vitest run --config
tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts question-handoff scheduler config`
passes. Server and chaos harness `tsc --noEmit` pass.
- Not run: a Daytona SR1U wave. It needs a runner image that matches
this checkout.

## Risks

- A sandbox marked for replacement is resumed when it cannot be replaced
safely. That run can meet the same unretired owner again, fail again in
the bounded lane, and then rest with Retry, as today.
- The replacement session restores the latest verified harness backup.
When the old Runner's final checkpoint was never saved, a same-session
continuation resumes from that backup.
- An unanswered tool input is accepted only for a committed
governed-wait park whose Runner's sandbox lease ended on another
sandbox.
- Previous-release story: the marker and the run record are additive
JSON. An older server ignores the marker and resumes the sandbox as
before.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Fable 5.2 ffe05b1b7c fix(heartbeat): retry every pre-provider lease acquisition failure and rest it on Retry (#20857)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A task run takes an environment lease (for example a Daytona
sandbox) before the agent starts. No provider work happens before that
lease exists.
> - Only a provider HTTP status or a connection errno counted as a
transient lease failure. #20828 (merged while this was open) added the
Daytona acquisition deadline. A database error while the lease was
recorded, a plugin RPC deadline, and an unfinished provisional creation
still did not count.
> - Those failures became a generic `setup_failed` with no bounded
retry. And when the bounded retries of any
`environment_provider_unavailable` failure were used up, recovery still
put the task on a board-owned `stranded_assigned_issue` action.
> - A hosted instance saw this for six runs in 45 minutes when
concurrent runs rose from about 8 to about 20. Two tasks stayed blocked
and waited for the board.
> - This pull request classifies every lease acquisition failure that
has structured transient evidence as `environment_provider_unavailable`.
When the bounded retries are used up, the task rests on a system-owned
action and a working Retry.
> - It also adds the restart-chaos fault EP1, so the harness covers
lease acquisition failures from now on.
> - The benefit is that a busy or slow sandbox provider no longer
strands tasks on the board.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists.

**What happened?**

Five runs failed with `Failed to acquire lease for environment
"Paperclip Sandbox" (sandbox): Daytona lease acquisition timed out;
allocation cleanup is pending` after 5 to 6 minutes in `preparing`. One
run failed with `Database query failed (lease_acquire_failed)` within 10
seconds. Every run recorded `executionRecovery: { kind: "bootstrap",
providerWorkStarted: false }`, but the error code was `setup_failed`. No
run got a bounded retry. Two tasks were left `blocked` with a
board-owned `stranded_assigned_issue` recovery action.

**Expected behavior**

A lease acquisition failure happens before any provider work. The run
must retry with a bounded, visible backoff. When the bound is used up,
the task must rest with a Retry that works, and no board-owned recovery
action.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Make lease acquisition fail with the provider's acquisition deadline
(the validated acquisition diagnostic that the environment runtime
records), or with a database driver error.
2. Let the run start.
3. Before this change, the run fails with `setup_failed`, no retry is
scheduled, and recovery creates a board-owned `stranded_assigned_issue`
action.

## What Changed

**How this PR and #20828 divide the problem.** #20828 (merged) makes the
Daytona plugin end a stuck create early and classifies the
acquisition-deadline envelope as `environment_provider_unavailable`.
This PR does not change the Daytona plugin or that deadline path. It
adds only what #20828 leaves out:
- a lease-acquisition failure that is not a create timeout: the plugin
RPC deadline (`-32003`) and an unfinished provisional creation recorded
for this run;
- a transient database error while the lease is recorded;
- the exhausted state: a system-owned recovery action and Retry instead
of a board-owned `stranded_assigned_issue`, for every
`environment_provider_unavailable` cause (including #20828's);
- the chaos fault EP1 (EP1, EP1N, EP1D).

- `readTransientLeaseAcquisitionFailure`
(`server/src/services/environment-provider-unavailable-error.ts`)
classifies a lease acquisition failure as transient when it has
structured evidence: the provider status or errno (as before), the run's
own validated acquisition diagnostic (deadline or unfinished provisional
creation), the plugin RPC deadline, or a transient database error (a
postgres.js connection code, or SQLSTATE class 08 or 53, 57P01-57P03,
57014, 55P03, 40001, 40P01). A deterministic SQL error (syntax, schema,
constraint) is not retried. A definite non-transient status (for example
HTTP 401 or 404) is still `setup_failed`. Message text is not parsed.
- `environment-run-orchestrator.ts` uses this classifier, so these
failures get `environment_provider_unavailable` and the existing bounded
bootstrap retry (30 s, then 60 s, with jitter). The task shows "retry
scheduled" while it waits.
- When the retries are used up, recovery uses the cause
`environment_provider_unavailable` with a system-owned action and no
board routing. The notice says "Retry when ready" and does not ask for a
board decision. The task's Retry starts a new acquisition.
- Restart-chaos fault EP1: a test-mode server seam
(`environment-lease-fault-injection.ts`, read from
`PAPERCLIP_CHAOS_LEASE_FAULT_CONTROL`, ignored in production) throws the
staging error shapes before any provider call.
`tests/restart-chaos/env-provider-wave.ts` runs EP1 (deadline twice,
then success), EP1N (deadline forever, then Retry after disarm) and EP1D
(database error once). The oracle fails on any `setup_failed` run, any
board-owned recovery action, a wrong retry count, or a task that does
not complete.
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md` and
`tests/restart-chaos/README.md`.

## Verification

- RED on `origin/master` (`1d67e309e0`, before #20828): the three new
tests in `heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` ("transient sandbox
provider refusal during lease acquisition") fail with the staging
result: `expected [ [ 'failed', 'setup_failed' ] ] to deeply equal [ [
'failed', 'environment_provider_unavailable' ], [ 'scheduled_retry',
null ] ]`. On current master the deadline now retries (#20828), but the
exhausted case still rests on a board-owned `stranded_assigned_issue`
action (the existing HTTP 502 exhaustion test showed `ownerType:
"board"` before the recovery change), and the database error is still
`setup_failed`.
- GREEN: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts -t "lease acquisition"`
passes 5 of 5. This includes the deadline and the database error that
retry once and then complete, and the deadline that never clears. That
task rests `blocked` with a system-owned action, `canRetry: true`, no
execution blocker, and Retry completes it.
- Unit tests: `environment-provider-unavailable-error.test.ts` +
`environment-lease-fault-injection.test.ts` (56),
`tests/restart-chaos/env-provider-faults.test.ts` (6) pass.
- Related suites pass: `environment-run-orchestrator`,
`task-interruption-query`, `issue-recovery-actions`,
`issue-recovery-deadlines`, `stranded-notice`,
`heartbeat-native-resume-lease-failure`.
- `server` and `tests/restart-chaos` typecheck pass.
- Chaos waves (local, Codex `gpt-6.1-sol`, head `1bd387e98f`; the later
head changes only database classification and the notice), all pass:
- EP1 `w-20261111T171803-s71-ep`, 2 tasks: each had exactly 2
`environment_provider_unavailable` runs, then succeeded with no user
action, no board-owned recovery action, brief oracle pass.
- EP1D `w-20261111T172850-s73-ep`, 1 task: 1 failed run on the database
error, then succeeded.
- EP1N `w-20261111T173346-s74-ep` (and `w-20261111T162752-s72-ep` before
the rebase): 3 failed runs, the task rested `blocked` with `canRetry:
true` and no board-owned action; after disarm, Retry completed it.
- No Daytona wave was run. The fault is injected in the server before
the provider call, so a local instance reaches the same retry and
recovery code.

## Risks

- More failures now retry, all bounded. Only transient SQLSTATEs retry.
The staging database error recorded no SQLSTATE. If it was a
deterministic SQL error, it still fails `setup_failed` and goes to the
board as before; that is intended, because a retry cannot fix it.
- Each retry is a new creation attempt with its own creation record. A
provisional allocation whose cleanup is pending stays with its record
and the creation reconciler, as before.
- The retry bound is the shared bootstrap bound (two retries). A
provider outage longer than about 15 minutes still rests on Retry, but
no longer on a board action.
- The fault seam reads a file only when the environment variable is set,
and never when `NODE_ENV=production`.
- Saved state from the previous release: no persisted shape changes. A
task already stranded on a board action keeps it
(`preserveExistingOwner`). New failures use the new cause.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip b2edea5754 fix(workspaces): verify existing worktrees before fresh retries (#20876)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work for AI agents.
> - Retry checks whether the task can keep its existing workspace.
> - A provider can complete checkout before Core receives the result.
> - Recreating a completed worktree costs time and can change its base
commit.
> - Core uses the same ownership and writer checks for local and
provider workspaces.
> - The provider verifies its checkout before Core creates a fresh
workspace.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A retry can allocate a new provider worktree even though the original
checkout completed.

**Steps to reproduce**

Complete workspace checkout through a storage provider. Fail Runner
startup or lose the prepare reply. Retry the task.

**Expected behavior**

Reuse the same worktree when the provider confirms checkout and the
prior run can no longer write to it.

Related: #20865 addresses timeouts while the original prepare is in
progress. This PR checks an earlier checkout when the user retries.

## What Changed

- Check the prior task binding and writer state before asking a storage
provider to verify a checkout.
- Extend the existing prepare operation with an optional verification
mode. Providers opt in through their manifest.
- Return through normal workspace reuse after verification. Keep the
fresh retry fallback when verification cannot establish checkout.

## Verification

- Core workspace preparation, plugin workspace ownership, retry
continuity, and SDK workspace-provider suites passed locally (213
tests).
- Focused cases pass for provider verification, retry through heartbeat
dispatch, and real local Git checkout verification with no plugin
worker. The heartbeat test confirms that ordinary preparation and
adapter dispatch keep the original workspace, branch, and base commit.
- Core server typecheck passed before the final audit and timing edits.
GitHub CI covers the final revision and broader regressions.

## Risks

Provider verification adds one bounded call before a fresh retry. Older
providers keep their current behavior. Verification must preserve the
workspace, branch, and recorded base commit. The normal execution
preparation checks still run before admission. No database migration is
needed.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex), with source inspection and local test execution.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 a52f622be8 fix(native): retry a remote provider startup failure once its runner exit is proven (#20874)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs on a remote sandbox (Daytona) start a Runner in the
sandbox, and the Runner opens the provider session
> - When the provider rejects `session.open` at startup, no provider
work began
> - #20808 ends every such remote rejection at once with Retry, because
restart recovery could not prove that the failed runner was gone. A
fault that clears by itself therefore needs one human click
> - The Runner transport already settles the failed runner on close and
observes its exit. That is the missing proof
> - This pull request records that proof on the failure and lets the
same-run bootstrap retry use it. It stops a startup error that repeats,
so an image fault that a retry cannot fix does not loop
> - The benefit is that a transient remote startup failure recovers
without a person, and a permanent one still rests at once with a working
Retry that names the error

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20808
Refs #20832
Refs #20820

**What happened?**
A remote (Daytona) native run whose provider rejected `session.open` at
startup ended as `native_provider_startup_rejected` with Retry. This
happened even when the Runner had settled and exited, and no provider
session, event or checkpoint existed. A person had to click Retry for a
fault that the durable record proves did no provider work.

**Expected behavior**
With a proven runner exit and no provider work, the run retries its
bootstrap on the same run automatically. A startup error that repeats on
the next attempt stops at once with Retry and names that error. Failures
saved without the proof keep today's behaviour.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-startup-rejected-retry.integration.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts
-t "remote startup rejection|session.open rejection"`
2. On master, 3 cases fail: the proven remote rejection is
`terminal_failure`, the repeat does not name its error, and restart
recovery holds the proven failure on
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at 3ded7bbd91.

## What Changed

- Runner transport (`runnerd-codex-transport.ts`): new
`runnerExitConfirmed()`. It is true only after a completed close settled
the runner (provider stopped, runner suspended) and the runner process
exit was observed.
- Codex driver (`codex-app-server-driver-impl.ts`): after it closes the
transport for a failed session open, it sets `runnerExitConfirmed` on
the error when the transport proves the exit.
- Executor (`native-session-executor.ts`):
- A remote `provider_session_open_rejected` with a startup
`providerFailure` keeps the same-run `bootstrap_retry` only with that
proof. The saved failure records `runnerExitConfirmed: true`.
- Each failed attempt's recovery history entry records a startup failure
signature: provider, category and message, with numbers ignored. When
the next attempt fails with the same signature, it stops as
`native_provider_startup_rejected`. Its next action names the startup
error and keeps "Retry starts a new run".
- Deterministic rejections (`requires_action` authentication, permission
or invalid request) stop at once as before.
  - Local targets are unchanged.
- Restart recovery (`native-restart-recovery.ts`):
`remoteRunnerExitedBeforeProviderWork` also accepts a settled
`provider_session_open_rejected` with `runnerExitConfirmed: true`. All
its other checks still apply: no provider session, no provider event, no
checkpoint, no runner-sent event, no successor.
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md` and
`packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md`.

## Verification

- Red on master, green here:
- `native-startup-rejected-retry.integration.test.ts`: proven remote
rejection → `retryable_failure` with `runnerExitConfirmed`; unproven →
terminal; repeat → terminal, the next action names `bwrap: loopback`,
and Retry is offered.
- `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`: proven failure →
`bootstrap_incomplete` (`remote_runner_exited_before_provider_work`); an
older release's failure without the proof stays held.
- `codex-app-server-driver.lifecycle.test.ts`: the driver records the
proof only when the transport reports it after close.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts`: unit cases for the rule, the
`cause` chain, the repeat signature and deterministic rejections.
- Local runs: the 3 server files above pass (1380 tests); restart
recovery `-t remote` 75 pass; driver lifecycle 25 pass.
- `tsc --noEmit` clean for `server` and `packages/paperclip-runner`.
- Not run: a Daytona chaos wave. There is no in-sandbox startup fault
seam yet (see Risks).

## Risks

- The proof depends on the transport's close settling the runner after a
failed `session.open`. The Rust runner keeps serving after a failed
`session.open` (lifecycle `Continue`) and accepts `runner.suspend`, so
close should settle. If it does not settle, there is no proof and the
run ends at once with Retry, which is today's behaviour. It is never
less safe than today.
- Retries stay bounded: the startup retry budget (3 attempts) and the
repeat rule both apply. A repeated identical error stops after one
automatic retry.
- Saved state: failures saved by older releases have no
`runnerExitConfirmed` and keep the old rule. History entries without a
signature never match a repeat. A mid-run deploy is safe: an old
executor never writes the proof.
- Not covered by chaos: a remote "Codex fails at startup N times" fault
needs a hook inside the sandbox Runner or Codex. DF1's seam is
server-side only, and no open chaos PR adds a seam inside the sandbox.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 14cb69245f fix(projects): do not offer a single project storage option (#20875)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A project uses one workspace storage owner. The user chooses it when
they create the project.
> - The **Available in** selector shows the storage owners that the user
can choose.
> - Sometimes the default environment cannot be used, and only one
storage owner is available. In that case, the dialog shows a selector
with only one option. The user must select it before they can create the
project.
> - A selector with only one option is not a real choice.
> - This pull request uses the only available storage owner as the
default. The selector appears only when the user has two or more
options.
> - The benefit is that project creation asks for a choice only when
there is one.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20835

**What happened?**
An example is an instance in managed-sandbox-only mode that has the
agent-computer plugin but no managed sandbox. The local environment is
hidden, and the managed-only rule finds no default. The
project-environments endpoint returns one storage group and an error.
The new project dialog shows **Available in** with only one option and
disables **Create project** until the user selects it. An API request
without `environmentId` fails with `project_environment_unavailable`.

**What did you expect?**
When only one storage owner is available, the project uses it. No
selector appears.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Turn on `enableManagedSandboxOnly`. Install the agent-computer
plugin. Do not add a sandbox environment.
2. Open **Create project**.
3. See an **Available in** selector with one option, and a disabled
**Create project** button.

## What Changed

- `projectEnvironmentOptions`: when the configured default is
unavailable and only one storage group exists, the first environment of
that group becomes `defaultEnvironmentId`, and `error` is null. When two
or more groups exist, an unavailable default still produces the error.
The server does not guess.
- Project create uses the same default, so an API request without
`environmentId` now succeeds in the single-group case.
- `NewProjectDialog` shows the selector only when `groups.length > 1`.
- Tests:
- A new server test covers managed-only mode with only the
agent-computer environment.
- A new server test covers an unavailable default with two storage
groups (the server still refuses to guess).
- The archived-default test now expects the server to use the only
remaining storage.
  - A new UI test checks that the dialog never shows one option.
- Docs: `doc/project-environment-compatibility.md` and
`docs/api/goals-and-projects.md`.

## Verification

- `pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/project-environments.test.ts` in
`server/`: 16 passed.
- `pnpm vitest run src/components/NewProjectDialog` in `ui/`: 12 passed.
- `tsc --noEmit` in `ui/`: clean.
- Server `tsc` reports 9 errors on this machine. None are in the changed
files. They are in `packages/adapter-utils` and a native-runtime test,
because local dependencies are stale. CI typechecks with a fresh
install.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change applies only when the default is unavailable and
exactly one storage group exists. In that case, the server picks the
group that the user would have had to choose anyway. Run placement does
not depend on the project, so this does not change where runs execute.
- No migration.

DottaandPaperclip cda23f08ac fix(db): preserve legacy project reads during rolling upgrades (#20860)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip controls agent work while web servers change versions.
> - The old and new servers can share a database during that change.
> - Older servers still read and write the project environment column.
> - Migration 0466 removes that column before those servers stop
serving.
> - A later repair alone leaves a committed missing-column window and
loses values.
> - This pull request applies the exact drop and repair in one
transaction.
> - Old reads and saved values survive while current placement behavior
stays unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20835 and #20852.

**What happened?**

Migration 0466 drops `projects.environment_id`. The previous server
still selects that column and reads it during admission. Applying a
separate repair afterward leaves a window in which those requests fail.
The drop also removes saved values.

**Expected behavior**

A database that has not yet applied 0466 must keep the column and its
values visible to concurrent old servers throughout the upgrade. Both
published migration entries must be recorded truthfully. Current project
responses must keep the new workspace placement contract.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use a database before migration 0466 with nonempty project
environment values.
2. Keep an old project writer transaction open and start the pending
migrator.
3. Start an old project read, then commit the writer.
4. Without this repair, the saved values disappear. With this repair,
the reader sees the preserved values and both migrations commit
together.

## What Changed

- Add migration 0467 to restore the legacy nullable UUID column and its
original foreign key. Leave the published 0466 SQL unchanged.
- Apply only the exact SHA-bound 0466/0467 pair in one transaction. Lock
the project table, retain nonempty values in a temporary table, execute
both real SQL files, restore values, and record both real journal
entries before commit.
- Apply the additive 0467 repair normally when 0466 was already
committed.
- Keep a deprecated database-only field and omit it from current project
API responses. Current placement logic stays unchanged.
- Add PostgreSQL regressions for concurrent old reads and writes,
idempotence, rollback, and an already-applied drop. Document the overlap
contract and retain the five newest generated snapshots.

## Verification

- Node 24 cached agent preflight passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/db/src/project-environment-overlap-migration.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/project-environments.test.ts -t 'project
environment rolling migration|saves storage, not'`: 4 passed in 32.57
seconds against real disposable PostgreSQL.
- Before the owner fix, the regression had two failures: saved values
disappeared and the restore-failure case committed. The fixed case
proves that both DDL and journal entries roll back together.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/db check:migrations`: passed.
- `git diff --check`: passed. Migration 0466 bytes are unchanged. The
generated snapshot set is 0463 through 0467.
- Review found a raw DELETE response that still exposed the
database-only field. The delete projection now omits it; a real
authorized HTTP DELETE passed with successful cleanup. The concurrency
test now observes the old reader waiting inside PostgreSQL before
releasing the old writer. All three migration cases passed with that
barrier. Earlier HTTP fixture setup/cleanup failures remain recorded as
failed attempts; they were not product-regression passes.
- Candidate `047178538c0df3a9e382259a51635a6e46da5646` has fresh
Greptile 5/5 with no open findings. [Required final-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/43062354612)
passed, including build, typecheck, migration checks, all test shards
and the aggregate verification gate. The separate Superagent security
scan ended inconclusive/neutral; it did not produce a passed scan.
Deployed acceptance remains pending. No hosted database or app
deployment was changed by this branch.

## Risks

The pair takes a table lock for its transaction. Operators must retain
their normal lock and statement timeouts. Both SQL files and their exact
hashes must match before the pair runs. A failed restore rolls back the
drop and both journal entries.

If 0466 was already committed, 0467 restores the column and foreign key.
It cannot recover values that were already deleted by the earlier
release. This repair does not claim to recover those values.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6), with tool-assisted implementation and real
PostgreSQL qualification. The exact serving model ID and context window
are not exposed in this session.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e0e6462a73 fix(heartbeat): keep an agent's explicit resume comment that a stale continuation dropped (#20856)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents coordinate on tasks through comments. A comment posted with
`resume: true` is an explicit request for more work; on a finished task
it reopens the task, for a person or for another agent.
> - A comment that arrives while the assignee's run is still settling
queues its own run. If the settling run then closes the task, that
queued run is cancelled before dispatch as a stale continuation
(`continuation_task_ownership_changed`).
> - For a person's comment, the outbox saves the unread message first
and the release drain reopens the task (chaos s9401/t72). For another
agent's explicit `resume: true` comment, nothing was saved. The request
was dropped and the task stayed `done`.
> - This pull request saves that agent comment too, with its explicit
resume intent. The existing release-drain rule for an agent's explicit
resume reopens the task and delivers the comment once.
> - The benefit is that a parent agent's "do this next turn" request is
not lost to a timing race. An agent comment without `resume: true` stays
communicative, as before.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
On a hosted staging instance, a parent agent posted a comment with
`resume: true` on its child's task: "a changed requirement for your NEXT
turn". The child's provider turn had finished 90 s earlier, but its run
was still settling (workspace copy-back). The comment queued a new run.
40 s later the settling run applied its `done` decision. The queued run
was then cancelled with `continuation_task_ownership_changed`. The task
stayed `done` and no run ever read the comment. The cancelled run itself
is not shown as a failure (the task is terminal, so task chat hides it,
and Sentry skips expected cancellations), so nothing told anyone the
request was lost.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run an agent on a task. While its run is still settling, post a
comment from another agent with `resume: true`.
2. Let the run close the task (`done`).
3. The comment's queued run is cancelled as a stale continuation. The
task is not reopened and the comment is never delivered.

**Expected behavior**
The task reopens for the explicit resume request, and the comment is
delivered exactly once, as for a person's comment.

## What Changed

- `deferUndeliveredCommentsOfStaleRun` finds, per owed comment, the
comment's own `issue.comment_added` activity record: written by its
author (another agent, not the assignee) with `resumeIntent: true`.
Merged runs, whose wake is rewritten as comments join, therefore keep
each comment's own intent.
- `saveUndeliveredUserComments` also admits those comments
(`explicitResumeCommentIds`). When only such comments remain, the
deferred receipt records the agent as requester and carries
`resumeIntent`/`followUpRequested` in its payload and wake context. The
release drain's existing rule for an agent's explicit resume on a `done`
task then reopens and delivers it. Person-comment behaviour is
unchanged.
- `doc/run-log-events.md` describes the rule.

## Verification

- RED on `origin/master` (`1d67e309e0`): `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-held-comment-wake.test.ts -t "explicit resume
comment"` fails: `expected [] to have a length of 1 but got +0` (the
comment is never delivered after the stale cancellation).
- GREEN: the whole file passes (29/29), including two-requester
merged-run tests in both orders, the new negative test (`does not reopen
a finished task for another agent's comment without resume intent`) and
the existing person-comment and exactly-once tests.
- Related suites `ownership-reconciliation-report`,
`execution-continuation`, `chat-wake-conversation-batch` plus this file:
118/118 tests pass locally. One `afterAll` cleanup hook in
`ownership-reconciliation-report` timed out under local machine load; CI
runs the suite fresh.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit` passes.
- Not done: no restart-chaos cell. The harness posts follow-ups as the
board user, which s9401/t72 already covers; an agent-authored `resume:
true` comment needs a two-agent workload the harness does not have.

## Risks

- Low risk. Only a comment whose own wake was an agent's explicit
`resume: true` qualifies, only on a task an agent run closed, and only
when no run read the comment. The assignee's own comments never qualify.
- The ownership reconciler's durable backstop
(`checkStaleDroppedComments`) still covers person comments only. If the
fast path fails, an agent's resume comment is not recovered later.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e6b538efd2 fix(native): retire a superseded warm owner instead of failing the new run (#20844)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs keep a warm Runner between turns of the same task, so
the next run can start fast
> - When the next run needs a new provider session (for example after an
agent setting or skill changes), it first retires the previous run's
warm Runner
> - That retirement uses the previous owner's close. When the close
cannot prove checkpoint suspension, the new run failed before any
provider work, with the previous owner's error
`provider_transport_failed: runner did not durably suspend before
checkpoint`
> - A governed-wait park (a saved question or review request) always
leaves such an owner: its question callback stays unsettled by design. A
failed Launcher stop RPC leaves one too
> - Nothing retried the run, and the task rested as "recovery needed"
with no provider work done
> - This pull request lets the new run retire the old owner when that
owner is contained, and forces the containment when the close left it
unproven
> - The benefit is that a fresh run never fails on its predecessor's
close, and the chaos harness now covers this class

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A new run on a task whose previous run left a warm Runner retained
failed within two minutes, before any provider turn. The error was
`provider_transport_failed: runner did not durably suspend before
checkpoint`. The run row recorded `executionRecovery: { kind:
"bootstrap", providerWorkStarted: false }`. Two runs of the same agent
on two tasks failed this way 47 seconds apart, after a configuration
change made both start new provider sessions. One predecessor had parked
on a `request_human_input` question; its callback never settled.

**Expected behavior**
A run that has done no provider work does not fail because its
predecessor's Runner could not prove suspension. The new session never
resumes the old checkpoint. Core must only prove that the old owner is
contained, and then start.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a warm native task that parks on a saved question (chaos workload
Q1).
2. After the asking run settles, change the agent's adapter
configuration, so the next run cannot resume the saved session.
3. Answer the question. The follow-up run retires the parked owner and
fails with the error above.

Related: #18373 added the stopped-owner reset path that this change
extends.

## What Changed

- `closeWarmNativeSession` (server native executor): during retirement
for a different normalized session, accept an unrecoverable close when
the old owner is contained. A plugin task owner must show its
`executionStopped: true` receipt and a completed handoff. Without a task
owner, the Runner's own durable suspension
(`settlement.runnerSuspended`) is the proof. Unsettled Core tool
callbacks of the discarded conversation no longer block the reset.
- With a plugin task owner, any close error qualifies once the Launcher
receipt exists. This includes a failed `stop` that
`releaseRunnerProcessOwnership` rethrows, and "Controller journal drain
timed out": the discarded session's journal lives in its own state root.
Owners without a task keep the narrower rule. `--matrix` now rejects
session faults.
- `createPluginRunnerTaskOwner`: add `retireSupersededTask()`. When
close left the receipt unproven, the new run sends one confirmed `stop`
(not resent after a confirmed stop), takes the credential snapshot, and
calls `complete`. It never reads the old state.
- Same-session continuation, a handoff that still fails, other close
errors and failed instruction collection still block replacement.
- Chaos harness: add session fault SR1
(`tests/restart-chaos/session-faults.ts`). With Q1 and `--lifecycle
warm` (or `--daytona-warm`), the board changes
`adapterConfig.idleTimeoutMs` after the asking run settles and before it
answers. `--tasks 2 --concurrency 2` is the two-concurrent-runs variant.
Q1's oracle applies, plus `session_rotated_before_answer` and
`follow_up_new_session`.
- Docs: `doc/plugins/PLUGIN_RUNNER_EXECUTION.md` and the chaos README
describe the new boundary and cell.

## Verification

- RED on master: `native-session-executor.test.ts -t "permanently
rejected plugin close during reset"` fails the `pending-semantic` and
`stop-unconfirmed-at-close` cases with
`NativeSessionCloseUnrecoverableError: provider_transport_failed: runner
did not durably suspend before checkpoint`. GREEN with this change: all
identity-transition cases pass (49).
- Chaos SR1 local, master server code (`--env local --lifecycle warm
--workloads Q1 --faults SR1`, seeds 301 with 2 tasks and 303 with 1
task): all tasks pass, and the follow-up started a new provider session.
The local parked owner closes cleanly, so the local cell does not
reproduce the failure. It needs a Daytona task owner.
- Chaos SR1 local with this change (seed 302, 2 concurrent tasks on one
agent): 2/2 pass, `follow_up_new_session` true for both.
- Not run: the Daytona SR1 variant. No runner image matches this
checkout's runner content ID, and this change does not touch runner
inputs.
- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts
question-handoff scheduler config` passes. Server and harness `tsc
--noEmit` pass.

## Risks

- The reset no longer waits for unsettled Core tool callbacks of the
discarded session. Their run is already terminal and their provider is
stopped, so no result can reach a provider, and the new session never
replays them. Core-side tool executions keep their own receipts under
the old run.
- A local owner without a task needs the Runner's durable suspension. A
local owner that did not suspend still blocks replacement, as before.
- Previous-release story: this changes no persisted state. Warm owners
live only in controller memory, so a deploy drops them as before.

DottaandClaude Fable 5.2 464e1de9b1 perf(issues): decide task reads for a list in one batch (#20858)
The task routes that filter several rows for one actor (summaries, lists, blockers, relation edges and the chat bootstrap) asked for one authorization decision per task, all at the same time. Each decision sent a task-row read and a copy of the task-privacy statement, which is more than 1 KB of SQL, so a request for 50 summaries sent 127 to 279 statements on every pool connection at once.

The routes now ask the authorization service for all decisions in one batched read. It reads the task rows and applies the same privacy predicate to all of them in one statement, and reads membership, agent and run policy once. Within a batch, the authorizing user's membership is read once, and the boundary checks of a low-trust agent, which stay per task, run at most eight at a time.

A request for 50 summaries now sends 22 to 28 statements (65 for a low-trust agent). Tests compare the batch with one check per task for 24 actors.

DottaandClaude c8ae02e5ce fix(native): start a fresh session when an accepted run's provider state was not saved (#20811)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native run in a per-turn remote sandbox saves a provider state
backup after its result is accepted. The sandbox is then released, so
the backup is the only copy of the provider session.
> - When that backup fails to save (for example, #20772: storage
throttling), the run keeps its accepted result. Nothing records that its
checkpoint can no longer be resumed.
> - The next run on the session rebinds that checkpoint and asks the
Runner to resume. The Runner has no state and refuses (#20757). With the
normal policy, the run opens a replacement session after that failed
attempt. With a governed-wait or unfinished-goal checkpoint, the run
fails with `native_provider_state_incompatible`, and only Retry or the
next message starts fresh.
> - The server already knew the state was gone when the backup failed.
The failed resume is wasted work.
> - This pull request marks the accepted run's checkpoint as not
resumable at the moment the backup fails. The next run then starts a
fresh provider session directly.
> - The benefit is that a lost backup no longer costs a failed run or a
failed resume attempt before the task continues.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20757 (the missing-state refusal that the next run reaches today).
Refs #20772 (the throttled backup upload that loses the backup). Refs
#20809 (a related fix for governed-wait follow-ups that reach the
missing state; this PR stops most of them from reaching it).

**What happened?**

1. A native run in a per-turn sandbox finished, and its result was
accepted.
2. `harness_state.backup.persist` failed. The run recorded
`native.post_result_failure`. Its run row kept a normal
`sessionCheckpoint`.
3. The sandbox was released.
4. The next run on the same session selected that run as its resume
source, and `rebindNativeSessionCheckpoint` returned the checkpoint.
5. The Runner found no saved state and refused with `PRP provider resume
state is unavailable`. The run then opened a replacement session after
the failed attempt, or (governed-wait or unfinished-goal checkpoint)
failed with `native_provider_state_incompatible`. Retry or the next
message then started fresh.

**Expected behavior**

The next run starts a fresh provider session at once, because the server
already knows the saved state is not there. The accepted result and the
task outcome stay as they are.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Give a run row an accepted result and a normal `sessionCheckpoint`.
2. Make its close checkpoint fail in a per-turn sandbox
(`reusableLeaseConfigured: false`).
3. Select the next run's resume source with `findNativeSessionResumeRun`
and call `rebindNativeSessionCheckpoint`.
4. On `master` it returns the checkpoint, so the next run tries to
resume state that does not exist.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `556b249897`.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-provider-state-unsaved.ts`
(new): `markAcceptedRunProviderStateUnsaved` adds
`nativeProviderStateUnsaved: { code:
"native_provider_state_incompatible", reason: "harness_backup_not_saved"
}` to the run's `runnerProfileJson`. One conditional `UPDATE` writes it
only when the run's coordinator holds a result with `schema_status =
'accepted'`. `clearRunProviderStateUnsaved` removes it.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.ts`: the
remote close checkpoint (`checkpointRemoteRunner`) now wraps the
existing body. When the checkpoint throws in a sandbox without a
reusable lease, it calls the marker, writes one run-log line, and throws
the original error. A marker or log failure cannot replace that error.
If a later checkpoint of the same run saves, it clears the mark.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-resume.ts`:
`rebindNativeSessionCheckpoint` returns `null` for a source with the
mark, as it already does for `errorCode =
native_provider_state_incompatible`. `findNativeSessionResumeRun`
projects the new key.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: one additive paragraph.
- Tests in `native-session-resume.test.ts` and
`native-session-executor.test.ts`.

Guard conditions. The mark is written only when all of these are true:

- The close checkpoint threw before the durable backup was stored (after
the upload's own bounded retries). A later local publication, stamp or
cleanup failure does not mark the run.
- The target is a remote `sandbox` with `reusableLeaseConfigured !==
true`. A retained sandbox or an SSH host keeps the live state, so its
resume path is unchanged.
- The run holds an accepted result. A failure before acceptance changes
nothing.

Saved state from the previous release: run rows without the key keep
today's resume path. An older server that reads a row with the key
ignores it, and so it behaves as it does today. No schema change.

User-visible: the next run's transcript shows "Paperclip session
started" instead of "resumed", with a new session id. The source run's
log shows `provider state was not saved after the accepted result; the
next run starts a fresh provider session`. The fresh session gets the
full task context, as for other fresh starts.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-resume.test.ts -t "not
resumable only after|provider state was not saved"`: 9 pass (6 pure, 3
embedded Postgres).
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "marks
the provider state unsaved|uses the bundled Linux image authority for
remote opencode-new-durable"`: 8 pass. They include a durable store
failure (marked) and a local publication failure after the store (not
marked).
- Red on `master` (source files reverted, tests kept): the 3 "starts the
next run in a fresh provider session directly" cases fail (`expected {…}
to be null`), the DB "accepted" case fails the same way, and the
executor per-turn case fails (`mark` called 0 times).
- Guard removal checks:
- Sandbox guard replaced with `true`: the "retained sandbox" case fails
(`mark` called once).
  - `!checkpointBackupStored` removed: the "publish-failed" case fails.
- `schema_status = 'accepted'` removed from the marker: the "rejected"
case fails (`expected true to be false`).
- Negative cases that pass: no result, rejected result, retained
sandbox, records without the key or with another code (all three
recovery policies), and a later save that clears the mark.
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit -p .`: clean.
- Not related to this change and failing on `master` in this worktree
too: `runtime-selection.test.ts` connector skill cases (missing
`.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md`) and `native-session-resume.test.ts`
"archives a damaged prior epoch" (`ENOENT … authority-epochs`). Required
CI is the authority for those suites.

## Risks

- Low. The change only skips a resume that cannot succeed. The fresh
session uses the same workspace and full task context, like a Retry
after `native_provider_state_incompatible`.
- If the backup failed but the provider state were still somewhere
recoverable, the next run would lose provider context. For a per-turn
sandbox without a reusable lease, the restore path uses only the backup,
so this does not apply. Retained sandboxes and SSH hosts are excluded.
- One extra conditional `UPDATE` runs only on the failure path. The
normal path before `turn.start` has no new waits or work.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` is also edited by #20809. The paragraphs
are at different places; whichever merges second rebases.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 1b39cf1794 fix(native): retry a contended provider-pack admission write (#20850)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native OpenCode run on a remote sandbox must save a provider-pack
admission receipt on its run row after the provider session opens.
Artifact retention refuses to continue without it.
> - The admission write locks the coordinator row
(`native_run_finalizations`) and then the run row, each with a 1000 ms
`lock_timeout`. The runner's durable checkpoint writes lock the same
coordinator row for the whole checkpoint transaction.
> - On a loaded database one checkpoint transaction can outlast one lock
wait. The admission write then fails with `55P03`, the state stays
`pending`, and artifact retention fails the run as
`native_provider_artifacts_admission_unverified` before the first turn.
The task rests blocked.
> - #20682 fixed the same symptom for a run-event append on the run row.
This is the coordinator-row half.
> - This pull request retries a contended admission write a bounded
number of times, each in a new transaction that re-proves the claim. It
also names the database cause in the run log and adds a chaos option
that makes every fresh sandbox take the pack upload and admission path.
> - The benefit is that a healthy fresh sandbox is no longer failed and
blocked by ordinary lock contention.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20682 (same symptom, run-row lock; this is the coordinator-row
lock).

**What happened?**
On a hosted staging instance, an OpenCode run on a fresh Daytona sandbox
found no matching preinstalled provider pack (`provider_pack.select`
reason `cached_packs_unverified`). It uploaded and verified the pack (61
s), started the runner, and the runner authenticated to the durable
control plane. 3.4 s later the run log shows `native provider-pack
admission receipt could not be saved`.
`nativeProviderPackAdmissionState.state` stayed `pending`. The run
failed with `native_provider_artifacts_admission_unverified` before any
provider turn. The task rests `blocked` with no Retry.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native run that waits for its claim (`waitForClaim: true`, as
a fresh run with artifact storage does).
2. Hold its `native_run_finalizations` row `FOR UPDATE` in another
transaction for 1.6 s, as a checkpoint write does.
3. Call `recordNativeProviderPackAdmission`. It fails with `canceling
statement due to lock timeout` (`55P03`).

**Expected behavior**
The admission waits out the checkpoint write within a bound, re-proves
the claim, and saves the receipt.

## What Changed

- `recordNativeProviderPackAdmission` retries a write that waits for its
claim when it fails with `55P03`, `40P01` or `40001`, up to 5 attempts
with 100–400 ms back-off. Each attempt is a new transaction with the
same checks (claim, run, epoch, receipt). A stale claim still returns
`false`. Other errors still throw. A write that does not wait for its
claim keeps its `NOWAIT` refusal.
- New `nativeProviderPackAdmissionFailureCode` reads the SQLSTATE from
the error or its cause.
- The executor's run-log line now ends with `(cause=<SQLSTATE or
native_* code>)`, so a lost admission is diagnosable. It carries no
paths or secrets.
- Restart chaos: `--daytona-pack-mismatch <image@sha256:…>` starts
sandboxes from another image while the controller keeps
`--daytona-image`'s runnerd and pack. Every fresh sandbox then takes the
upload and admission path, which the matched-image check made
unreachable. Config validation and README updated.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the bounded retry.

## Verification

- RED on `origin/master` (`1d67e309e0`): `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-provider-pack-admission.test.ts -t
"checkpoint write holds"` fails with `canceling statement due to lock
timeout` (`55P03`), the staging error.
- GREEN: the same file, 39/39 pass, including the existing fence tests
(`cannot publish while another transaction holds the coordinator claim`,
revoked-claim recheck) and the new bound test (`gives up after the
bounded retry window while the claim stays held`, under 15 s).
- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts
tests/restart-chaos/scheduler.test.ts`: 34/34 pass, including the new
option test.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit` and `tsc
--noEmit -p tests/restart-chaos/tsconfig.json` pass.
- Not run: a Daytona chaos wave with `--daytona-pack-mismatch`. It needs
a runner image built at this revision. The staging cause is inferred
from the timing and the code path; the original error was swallowed,
which is why this PR adds the cause to the run log.

## Risks

- Low risk. The normal path has no contention and makes one attempt.
Under contention the write waits at most about 11 s before the first
provider turn. Without this change that case failed the run.
- A retry cannot widen authority: every attempt re-checks the
coordinator claim, lease expiry, run status and admission epoch.
- When admission still fails after the retries, the run fails as before.
This PR does not change that recovery path.

DottaandClaude Fable 5.2 8ab955776d perf(github): check the requester provenance of an issue list's review waits in one batch (#20851)
<!-- Write all pull request text in Simplified Technical English
(ASD-STE100): short sentences, one instruction per sentence, simple
approved vocabulary, and the active voice. -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - An agent can review a GitHub pull request. After the agent publishes
the review, the task waits in review for the next GitHub reply. A later
run of the same task can inherit this wait.
> - Issue lists, issue summaries and inbox attention show these waits.
For each waiting task, the server first checks the requester provenance
of the waiting run (`chatRunSourceMessageId`). This check is an
authorization check: it walks the identity-context lineage of the run
and rejects a changed requester, another task, another company or
another provider.
> - #20673 batched the review reads and the publication reads of one
list request. It kept the provenance check as one call for each waiting
run, inside `Promise.all`.
> - Thus a request with N waits still built and sent at least 2N
statements at the same moment. The database is fast for each statement,
but the server builds each statement on its main thread.
> - On a hosted instance, a CPU profile of the server showed the main
thread at 96% of one core. SQL text building, per-statement timers,
socket writes and garbage collection had the largest shares. Connection
samples showed 235 to 292 pool connections whose last statement was the
source-message link read of this check, and 53 to 112 whose last
statement was its identity-context read.
> - This pull request checks the provenance of all the waiting runs of
one request in one batch. The runs that need the same kind of read share
one statement. Each run gets the same decision as a separate call, from
the same walk and the same reads.
> - The benefit is that a list request with 250 waits sends 17
statements, not 658, and uses about one quarter of the CPU time. The
statement count no longer follows the number of waits.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20673 (batched the review reads and the publication reads of the
same request; this change does the same for the provenance reads that
#20673 kept for each run).
Refs #20551 (authorizes the waits of one issue page with one read).

**What happened**

`readInheritedGitHubReviewWaits` called `chatRunSourceMessageId` one
time for each waiting run, inside `Promise.all`. Each call sent an
identity-context read and a source-message link read. A run that
continues an earlier run also sent a parent-context read and a
source-run read for each continuation in its lineage.
`listExternalReviewWaits` calls this function for the issue list, the
issue summaries and the inbox attention of a company, so each of those
requests repeated the same reads for every waiting task.

Evidence from a hosted instance (sanitized):

- CPU profile of the server process, 30 s, 5 ms samples: main thread at
96% of one core. Building SQL text for select statements: 17.7%
inclusive. The idle-timer restart that the database client does for each
statement: 7.6%. Socket writes: 6.2%. Garbage collection: 13%.
- Three samples of the pool connections (about 494 connections). 235 to
292 connections had the source-message link read of
`chatRunSourceMessageId` as their last statement. 53 to 112 connections
had its identity-context read as their last statement.
- The `DISTINCT ON` review read that #20673 added ran about 29 times
each minute. It runs one time for each list request, so each request
started hundreds of provenance reads.

**Expected behavior**

One list request sends a number of provenance statements that does not
follow the number of waiting tasks. The decision for each run does not
change.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Put many tasks of one company in review, each with an inherited
GitHub review wait.
2. Open the issue list or the inbox.
3. Count the statements that the server sends. The identity-context read
and the source-message link read run one time for each waiting task.

The benchmark below does these steps on a local PostgreSQL.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/chat-channels/run-origin.ts`:
- The provenance decision is now one walk (`sourceMessageWalk`). The
walk asks for one read at a time and decides on the returned rows only.
Its checks, their order and its error messages are the checks of the
previous `chatRunSourceMessageId`.
- The five reads of the walk (active identity context, source-message
link, board message, parent context, source run) are defined one time in
`provenanceReads`. Each definition takes its values either as literals
or as SQL columns.
- `chatRunSourceMessageId` (single run) drives the walk with one
statement for each read, as before. The joins, the company scope and the
filters are the same. The identity-context reads now select the seven
columns that the walk uses instead of every column.
- New `chatRunSourceMessageIds(db, runs, options)` (batch). It drives
one walk for each run. In each round, the runs that wait for the same
kind of read share one statement: `unnest(...)` of the request values,
`CROSS JOIN LATERAL` the same single-row read with the request columns
in place of the literals. Thus each run gets the row that its own single
read returns, with `LIMIT 1` and the company scope on each join. The
result for each run is `{ messageId }` or `{ forbidden }` (the 403 that
the single call throws). A database error rejects the whole batch, as
`Promise.all` did.
- `server/src/services/chat-channels/github/review-wait.ts`:
`readInheritedGitHubReviewWaits` checks the provenance of its runs with
the batch. A 403 still gives `revoked`. The single-run
`readInheritedGitHubReviewWait` does not change.
- `server/src/services/chat-channels/run-origin.test.ts`: two new tests
(see Verification).
- `server/src/__tests__/github-review-wait.test.ts`: one new regression
test for the statement count.
- `server/scripts/benchmark-review-wait-provenance.ts`: the reproduction
and the before/after measurement. It loads the pre-fix modules from
`--baseline-ref` and fails unless both versions return the same waits.
- `scripts/benchmark-github-review-wait.ts`: removed an assertion that
`run-origin.ts` is byte-identical to its baseline. Both sides of that
benchmark import the current helper, so the comparison stays fair.
Without this change, the documented command of that benchmark fails.
- `doc/DATABASE.md`: describes the batch provenance check and the new
benchmark command.

Statement count of one batch: the walk of one run does at most 3 + 4L
reads, where L is the number of continuations in its requester lineage.
The batch does the same number of rounds for its longest lineage. Each
round sends at most one statement for each kind of read (5 kinds), for
any number of runs. A request whose waiting runs accepted their GitHub
comment directly sends 2 provenance statements.

## Verification

Red/green regression test
(`server/src/__tests__/github-review-wait.test.ts`):

- `reads the waits of forty runs with the statements of four runs`.
Before the fix: `expected { few: 10, many: 82 } to deeply equal { few:
4, many: 4 }`. After the fix: passes.

Equivalence tests
(`server/src/services/chat-channels/run-origin.test.ts`), on real
PostgreSQL:

- `gives every run of a batch the decision of its own check, in every
provenance state`. 33 runs, each in a different provenance state, are
checked with the single function and with the batch for five option sets
(no options, legacy wake allowed, GitHub, GitHub with legacy wake,
Slack). The test compares the decision of each run (message, `null`, or
the 403 and its message) for: the full batch, the reversed batch, and a
batch of one run. The states include the negative cases: a run of
another company, a message that is linked only in another company, a
message that is linked to another task, a conversation that moved to
another task, a continuation on another task, a changed requester (run,
identity context, continuation, board message), a link of another
provider, a missing link, an outbound link only, a deleted message, an
agent message, a rejected or pending identity context, a missing parent,
another agent and a lineage cycle. The test also states the expected
GitHub decision for each state, so the comparison cannot pass on two
wrong answers.
- `checks the runs of a batch with statements that follow the lineage,
not the number of runs`. 4 runs and 40 runs each send 2 statements. 40
separate checks send 80. One continuation in each lineage gives 4
statements for the batch.
- A mutation check: when the batch gives a row to the wrong request,
both tests fail.

Commands:

- `pnpm vitest run server/src/services/chat-channels/run-origin.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/github-review-wait.test.ts`
- Focused run of 15 test files that import the changed modules, their
callers or the shared seed helper, including
`external-chat-wait.integration.test.ts`, `chat-github-tools.test.ts`,
`slack-authority.test.ts` and
`issue-list-review-wait-authorization.integration.test.ts`: 482 tests
passed. In `idle-completed-history.test.ts`, `afterEach` hooks (a
`TRUNCATE` of the test database) timed out at 30 s for 1 test in this
run and for 3 tests in a second run of the file, while other agents
loaded the machine. No assertion failed. The three tests of that file
that reach the changed code pass when they run alone. CI runs the full
file.
- `server/src/__tests__/chat-channels.integration.test.ts` also uses the
single check. It was not run locally (very large file). CI runs it.
- Typecheck of the changed files and of the callers of
`chatRunSourceMessageId` with a focused `tsc` program: no errors in
these files. The full server typecheck was not run locally (shared
machine). CI supplies it.
- The first CI run of this pull request failed `ci / policy`: the module
boundary check rejects an insert into the agents table outside the agent
lifecycle module, and the benchmark seeded its fixture agent that way.
The second commit seeds that agent with SQL. `pnpm
check:module-boundaries` passes locally, and the benchmark gives the
same statement counts.
- `pnpm verify` returns exit 2 (broader verification required) because
the change adds a file under `server/scripts/`. CI supplies the broad
coverage.

Before/after measurement:

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx scripts/benchmark-review-wait-provenance.ts --baseline-ref=e2cf9a670fc5d5f5058fd0972beb71650f77c554
```

One call of `listExternalReviewWaits` (the read of one issue list
request). Embedded PostgreSQL 18.1, Node v26.4.0, `VACUUM ANALYZE` after
seeding. One company, one agent, one GitHub repository. Every wait has a
published review. Every tenth waiting run continues three earlier runs.
3 warm-up calls, then 15 pairs in alternating order. Both versions
return the same waits and the same inherited wait for each run.

| Waits | Version | Statements | SQL text bytes | Wall ms, median
(min–max) | CPU ms, median (min–max) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 20 | before | 60 | 31,084 | 14.1 (12.8–19.6) | 13.7 (8.7–39.3) |
| 20 | after | 17 | 15,847 | 12.5 (9.4–22.7) | 8.8 (4.1–87.1) |
| 250 | before | 658 | 300,611 | 63.3 (58.1–89.6) | 78.1 (64.8–103.3) |
| 250 | after | 17 | 17,171 | 20.8 (18.9–29.2) | 18.7 (14.1–27.3) |
| 1000 | before | 2,608 | 1,179,710 | 256.0 (221.0–363.2) | 303.3
(262.2–507.8) |
| 1000 | after | 17 | 21,695 | 54.9 (46.7–81.7) | 51.0 (41.6–72.2) |

Of the 658 statements before the fix at 250 waits, 650 are provenance
reads: 325 identity-context reads, 250 source-message link reads and 75
source-run reads. After the fix, 9 statements do the same reads. The
other 8 statements of the request do not change. Sizes are set with
`WAITS=20` and `WAITS=1000`. Other agents used the same machine during
the measurement, so the maximum values have noise.

- The batch statements use index scans only
(`run_identity_contexts_pkey`, `run_identity_contexts_company_run_idx`,
`chat_message_links_company_comment_idx`, `chat_conversations_pkey`,
`chat_endpoints_company_id_uq`, `heartbeat_runs_pkey`). The 9 batch
statements of a request with 250 waits take about 1 ms of server
execution in total.
- Wall time and CPU time are almost equal before the fix. This shows
that the cost is in the server process, not in the database.

Not verified:

- The effect on the hosted instance. This pull request does not deploy.
The share of the main-thread CPU that this path uses there is not known;
the profile gives the share of all statement building.

## Risks

- The provenance check is an authorization check. The risk is a batch
decision that differs from the single decision. Mitigation: both paths
run the same walk and build each read from the same definition. The
batch read is the single read inside `CROSS JOIN LATERAL`, for each
request row. The equivalence test compares both paths in every state.
- A database error (for example an invalid UUID in a legacy task
binding) rejects the whole batch. The previous `Promise.all` also
rejected the whole request. The callers of the batch pass the native
task of each run.
- The statement count of the batch follows the longest lineage of its
runs. A batch with one very long lineage sends as many statements as
that run sent before, in sequence. It does not send more.
- The batch sends its statements in sequence on one connection. Before,
the reads of N runs used up to N pool connections at the same moment.
- The single-run callers (GitHub tools, review publication, response
comments, Slack authority, the finalizer, the status committer) keep one
statement for each read. Their identity-context reads select fewer
columns.
- No migration. No new index.

DottaandPaperclip e625505ac9 fix(auth): preserve credential sign-in during server overlap (#20839)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip controls AI agent work across software updates.
> - Authenticated instances must keep human sign-in available during an
update.
> - Better Auth 1.7.16 identifies accounts by provider and account ID.
> - It creates credential accounts without the issuer required by the
previous reader.
> - A new account can therefore fail to sign in through a surviving
1.7.2 process.
> - This pull request keeps the legacy credential issuer on trusted
account creation.
> - The security upgrade and provider/account uniqueness stay in place.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18906.

**What happened?**

After the Better Auth upgrade, a credential account created by the new
version has a NULL issuer. A surviving Better Auth 1.7.2 process rejects
its correct password because it selects only the `local:credential`
account identity.

**Expected behavior**

A new credential account must sign in through both versions during an
update. The new version must keep its provider/account lookup and
uniqueness rules.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Apply migration 0465 to a disposable database.
2. Create an email/password account with the new auth mount.
3. Sign in to the same database through Better Auth 1.7.2.
4. Without this change, signup and new-version sign-in return 200, but
old-version sign-in returns 401.

## What Changed

- Register issuer as an optional internal account field with client
input and response output disabled.
- Set `local:credential` in the trusted before-create hook. Preserve any
nonempty issuer supplied by internal code.
- Leave unconfigured providers without an issuer on the new NULL-issuer
behavior. No social provider is configured by this module.
- Add credential integration and issuer-policy controls. Document the
exact compatibility scope.

## Verification

- Node 24: `node scripts/agent-preflight.mjs` passed using the existing
build cache.
- `node cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs
packages/db/src/test-postgres-command.ts -- node
node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/better-auth.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/better-auth-credential-signup.integration.test.ts`:
22 passed.
- Separate local qualification used the actual cached Better Auth 1.7.2
SDK and the current 1.7.16 mount against one disposable PostgreSQL
database. Before this change, old-version sign-in returned 401 for the
new account. After this change, signup through either writer and sign-in
through both readers returned 200.
- The integration covers forged client issuer input, the frozen 1.7.2
credential selector, current-version sign-in for existing NULL-issuer
rows, and the unchanged provider/account unique index.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`: passed, including all
server and test-tree layers.
- The first required Runner support run failed three SDK proof suites
because two generated lock references were stale on the current base.
The existing generator corrected those references and the three suites
passed locally (58 tests in 17.07 seconds). Master then merged the same
repair in #20834 and advanced its runtime/dependency lock. This branch
was rebased onto current master; the duplicate proof commit was omitted.
The final diff contains only the four auth/test/doc files. The
exact-head checks and review listed below passed on the rebased
candidate.
- Final candidate `577fd7612a6d80ac35e2f5ee9ea2ce9b77169687`: focused
auth verification passed again (22 tests, 51.81 seconds). [Required
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/43051216288)
passed, including build, typecheck, server/Runner tests and all eight
browser shards. One unchanged Rust process-lineage orphan-census test
failed on the first attempt; the failed job was rerun after the workflow
completed and passed. This PR changes no Rust source.
- [Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/20839#issuecomment-6799551882)
is 5/5 on the final head with no actionable findings or open review
threads. No deployment or original database change was performed for
this branch.

## Risks

The bridge applies to new credential accounts. It does not backfill
existing NULL issuers or claim old-reader compatibility for unconfigured
social providers. Trusted internal issuers retain their exact value.
Account lookup, password checks, account linking, provider/account
uniqueness, and migration 0465 remain with their existing owners.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6), with tool-assisted code editing and local
PostgreSQL qualification. The exact serving model ID and context window
are not exposed in this session.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 57f1afdf19 fix(daytona): retry a sandbox create that timed out before any agent work (#20828)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - On a Daytona sandbox environment, every new task run first creates a
fresh sandbox
> - When one Daytona create did not start, the plugin waited the full
300 s acquisition budget
> - The run then failed `setup_failed` with `lease_acquire_failed`. No
agent work had started, but nothing retried it
> - On staging this hit two agents in 15 minutes. Each attempt used
about 5 minutes, and the task stopped until a person pressed Retry. The
manual Retry then got a sandbox in 28 s
> - This pull request ends a stuck create early, adopts a create that
started late, and routes the timeout to the bounded bootstrap retry that
already exists for transient provider refusals
> - The benefit is that a stuck create costs about 90 s and recovers by
itself. The task shows Retry only after the bounded attempts are used up

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20626 (bounded resume of a reusable sandbox), Refs #20212 (wait
out a Daytona state change), Refs #20609 (force a stuck stop).

**What happened?**
A run on a Daytona sandbox environment failed after 307 s with `Failed
to acquire lease for environment "Paperclip Sandbox" (sandbox): Daytona
lease acquisition timed out; allocation cleanup is pending`. The run
recorded `errorCode: setup_failed`, `failureCause:
lease_acquire_failed`, and `executionRecovery: { kind: "bootstrap",
providerWorkStarted: false }`. The task became blocked with Retry. No
automatic retry was scheduled.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use a Daytona sandbox environment with the default `timeoutMs`
(300,000).
2. Start a run while Daytona keeps the new sandbox in `creating`.
3. See that the run waits 300 s, fails `setup_failed`, and is not
retried.

**Expected behavior**
A create that has not started before provider work must not cost 5
minutes. The run must retry by itself within bounds. A late sandbox that
has started must be used. A sandbox that was abandoned must be removed.

**Root cause**
- `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/src/plugin.ts`
(`onEnvironmentAcquireLease`): the only bound on the create step was the
whole acquisition budget (`timeoutMs`, default 300 s).
- `server/src/services/environment-provider-unavailable-error.ts`
(`readTransientEnvironmentProviderFailure`): only an HTTP status or
errno on the create call counted as transient. The timeout envelope
carries neither, so the run fell through to generic `setup_failed`,
which `isTransientWorkspacePreparationCode` does not retry.

## What Changed

- Daytona: one fresh acquisition is now capped at 180 s. A create that
has not returned after 90 s is looked up once by its creation name. A
sandbox in `started` is adopted, and setup continues. A sandbox in
`pending_build`, `building_snapshot`, or `pulling_snapshot` keeps
waiting inside the cap. Any other state ends the attempt with the
existing cleanup envelope and an acquisition diagnostic whose elapsed
time reached the expired budget.
- Daytona: a late SDK failure no longer runs the compensating delete for
a sandbox that was adopted.
- Host: `readTransientEnvironmentProviderFailure` reads the validated
acquisition diagnostic. An acquisition whose first failure was its own
deadline is transient. The run fails with
`environment_provider_unavailable`, category `timeout`, and uses the
bounded bootstrap retry (30 s, then 60 s). An earlier setup failure
stays `setup_failed`. Message text is never parsed.
- Host: the task reason for this case is plain: "The sandbox for ... did
not finish starting in time. No agent work had started. Paperclip
retries automatically ...".
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md` and
`doc/plugins/SANDBOX_PROVIDER_CAPABILITIES.md`.

## Verification

Red before the fix, green after:
- `server/src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts` "routes a fresh
sandbox create that timed out through bounded bootstrap recovery" uses
the staging error shape through the orchestrator. Red: `errorCode` was
`setup_failed`. Green: `environment_provider_unavailable`, category
`timeout`, bounded retry scheduled. The `started` and `early_failure`
cases stay `setup_failed` with no retry.
- `server/src/services/environment-provider-unavailable-error.test.ts`:
deadline diagnostic is transient (red, then green). An early failure is
not. The task message is plain.
- `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/src/plugin.test.ts`: "ends
a create still pending at 90 seconds" (red: still pending at 90 s;
green) and "adopts a create that started by 90 seconds" (red; green, and
a late SDK rejection does not delete it). "keeps waiting for a create
that is still preparing its snapshot" is a safety case.
- Existing tests that encoded the 300 s acquisition budget now use the
180 s cap.

Commands run locally:
- `npx vitest run src/plugin.test.ts` (Daytona): 414 passed.
- `npx vitest run src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts
src/services/environment-provider-unavailable-error.test.ts
src/__tests__/environment-acquisition-diagnostics.test.ts
src/__tests__/task-interruption-query.test.ts`: 229 tests passed. The
run-completion file reports an `afterAll` embedded-Postgres teardown
timeout. The same timeout occurs on unchanged `origin/master`, so it is
a local platform fault.
- Daytona plugin `pnpm typecheck` and server `pnpm typecheck`: pass.
- `pnpm verify`: asked for broader CI coverage, because
`doc/execution-semantics.md` is a global CI input. Required CI supplies
that coverage.

Upgrade safety: nothing new is persisted. A task already blocked by this
failure keeps `canRetry: true`. Its Retry starts a new run with a new
creation record, and that run uses the new path. On staging, the manual
Retry of the affected task got a fresh lease in 28 s. The creation
record of the earlier attempt stays with the creation reconciler.

Not verified: a live Daytona create that stays in `creating`. That
cannot be forced on demand.

## Risks

- A legitimately slow create that stays in `creating` or `starting` for
more than 90 s now ends the attempt and retries. Snapshot preparation
states still wait inside the 180 s cap. Staging creates normally take
about 20 to 30 s.
- An abandoned create is removed by the creation reconciler. It can stay
alive until that reconciler settles the record (the existing settle
window). This PR does not change that window.
- Other sandbox providers get the host classification only when they
send the same acquisition diagnostic.

with tool use (shell, file edits, browser for read-only staging API
reads).

DottaandClaude 889b33da72 fix(native): apply a saved accepted result on Retry instead of a new turn (#20819)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run on a remote sandbox can finish with an accepted result,
and then fail to save its workspace. Saved-work recovery saves the files
again from the retained sandbox, with no provider turn.
> - #20758 made a save that finds the sandbox disk full stop at once as
`sandbox_disk_full` and hand the task to the board with a Retry.
> - When the user frees space and presses Retry, the save now succeeds.
But the Retry then started a new agent turn (`strategy: continue`). That
turn repeats work that already finished and spends provider budget
again. The accepted result was not applied (`replacementDenied:
explicit_user_continuation`).
> - The decision for this case: when a durable record proves that the
run's result was already accepted, Retry applies that saved result and
starts no new turn.
> - This pull request makes Retry admission wait for the run's
saved-work holds and then applies the accepted result through the
existing preserved-result finalization.
> - The benefit is that a Retry after a failed save finishes the task
from the work that was already done, with no repeated provider work or
spend.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20758 (full-disk save rests as `sandbox_disk_full` with a Retry),
Refs #20810 (chaos fault DF1 for a full disk on the final workspace
save)

**What happened?**
A native run had an accepted, succeeded result. Its workspace save
failed because the sandbox disk was full, and the task rested at
`sandbox_disk_full` with a Retry. The user freed space and pressed
Retry. The save succeeded, and then Retry admission started a new run
with `strategy: continue`. The accepted result stayed unapplied (the
finalization coordinator stayed in `terminal_failure`).

Two paths caused this:
1. Retry admission let the Retry through as soon as the saved files were
verified. That can happen before preserved-result finalization runs: the
recovery worker dispatches the Retry right after one hold settles, while
the hold that Retry added for the same run is still scheduled. On master
this is deterministic in that order, and a race otherwise.
2. Preserved-result finalization reads the newest saved-work hold of the
run. While that hold was still scheduled, it declined, and nothing held
the Retry back.

**Expected behavior**
After the save succeeds, and a durable record proves that the run's
result was already accepted, Retry applies that result. The run and task
finish from it. No new `turn.start` and no new provider spend. If the
save fails again with a full disk, the task keeps the
`sandbox_disk_full` rest and a working Retry. If there is no proven
accepted result, Retry keeps the previous behaviour and starts one run.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Give a native run an accepted, succeeded result whose copy-back
failed (`native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted`).
2. Make the saved-work recovery save fail with
`remote_workspace_sandbox_disk_full`. The hold goes to the board.
3. Free space. Press Retry. Let recovery save the files, then dispatch
the Retry before preserved-result finalization runs.
4. On master, a new run starts with `previousRunId` set to the source
run, and the accepted result is not applied.

## What Changed

- `preserved-result-finalization.ts`: the eligibility checks move into
one read (`readPreservedResult`). They are unchanged: an accepted,
succeeded result of this run, a completed saved-work recovery with a
verified receipt, no Stop, no newer run, no current execution, and no
applied generation. A new read-only
`canResumePreservedResultFinalization` uses the same read without locks.
`resumePreservedResultFinalization` keeps the finalizer's lock order
(coordinator first) and takes the issue and run rows with NOWAIT, so it
cannot deadlock with the finalizer, owner-stop confirmation or Retry
dispatch; a busy row is retried briefly, and the last attempt waits for
its locks. It also writes an activity entry,
`issue.saved_result_finalization_resumed`, when it applies a result.
- `explicit-native-continuation.ts`: Retry admission holds an accepted
Retry (`evaluate`) of a run whose saved files are verified and whose
accepted result is still held, with the wait `finalizing_saved_result`.
It holds while a saved-work hold of that run is still `scheduled`,
`running` or `awaiting_evidence` and the result is otherwise applicable
(no Stop, newer run, other owner or current execution), or once
`canResumePreservedResultFinalization` is true. In every other case
admission is unchanged.
- `heartbeat/run-control.ts` (`resumeTaskRetry`): after dispatch, if
admission held the Retry with `finalizing_saved_result`, it calls
`resumePreservedResultFinalization`. That coalesces the Retry into the
source run with `strategy: finalize_result` and re-arms finalization.
This is one key read after admission; the resumption runs only for a
held Retry. The recovery worker already calls the same function after
each saved hold, so either path finishes the work.
- Tests: `workspace-recovery-disk-full.test.ts` now proves the new Retry
behaviour (red on master), a dispatch that lands while another hold of
the run is still saving (red on master), a Retry while the disk is still
full, and three negative cases that keep one new run.
`workspace-recovery-preparation-gates.test.ts` (s12 and RC-50b) and
`explicit-native-continuation.test.ts` (copy-back + `task_retry`)
encoded the old "new run" result for the same situation. They now expect
the saved result to be applied. A fixture helper `recoverRunHolds` runs
the recovery steps for every hold of a run, as the worker does.
- `ui/src/components/WorkspaceExportRecovery.tsx`: at the
`sandbox_disk_full` rest, the retained-file panel no longer shows its
own "Recover saved files" button and no longer hides the task's Retry.
Before, the API said `canRetry: true` and the note said "Retry saves the
files again", but the board showed only "Recover saved files" (seen in
the DF1 chaos wave). The panel now says to free space and use Retry. A
new UI test covers it. `pnpm check:token-gates` is clean.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: documents the Retry behaviour and its
conditions.

## Verification

Red/green (`cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/workspace-recovery-disk-full.test.ts`):

- On master source with the new tests: 3 failed, 3 passed (the 3
negative cases pass on master, as they should). Each failure shows a
second heartbeat run (the new agent turn): `expected [ …(2) ] to deeply
equal [ Array(1) ]`.
- On this branch: 7 passed. A fourth negative case (an operator Stop
while a hold is still settling keeps one new run) was added after
review; it also passes on master.
- Guard removal 1: with the `canResumePreservedResultFinalization` check
replaced by `true`, the negative test "an operator Stop recorded on the
run" fails (`expected [] to have a length of 1 but got +0`: the Retry
waits forever instead of starting its one run).
- Guard removal 2: with the "hold still saving" check removed, the test
"holds a Retry dispatched while another saved-work hold of the run is
still settling" fails (a second run starts).

Related suites pass on this branch: `workspace-recovery-disk-full`,
`workspace-recovery-preparation-gates`, `workspace-recovery-admission`,
`native-exhausted-finalization-retry`, `explicit-native-continuation`
(641 tests).

On the first revision, `task-retry`,
`workspace-recovery-retry-copyback`, `workspace-recovery-warm-handoff`,
`preserved-native-response-wait.integration`, `deferred-execution-wait`
and `deferred-execution-receipt-work` passed (317 tests). Other retry
and recovery suites were not run locally; required CI `general_tests`
covers them. After the review fixes, the five related suites above
passed again (642 tests).

`npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` is clean.

`pnpm verify --explain` selects a broad plan (exit 2) because
`doc/execution-semantics.md` is a global CI input. Required CI supplies
that coverage.

## Risks

- Behaviour change: an accepted Retry of a terminal run with an
accepted, succeeded result and verified saved files now applies that
result and starts no run. Before, it started one new run. This is the
intended change. It also covers the s12 and RC-50b recovery-handoff
cases, which used to start a new run.
- A held Retry waits while any saved-work hold of the run is still
saving. The recovery worker drives those holds to `complete` or
`exhausted`. When a hold ends `exhausted` or the records do not prove
the result, the wait ends and the Retry starts one run, as before. A
hold that stays in `awaiting_evidence` keeps the Retry waiting with
"Paperclip is finishing the saved result."
- Upgrade-safe: no persisted shape changes. The checks read existing
records (`native_run_results`, `native_run_finalizations`, the recovery
action evidence, workspace receipts). A record written by an older
server that lacks any required fact keeps the old behaviour. An older
server that reads the new state sees a coalesced Retry and a re-armed
finalization, which it already handles.
- No new work before `turn.start` on the normal path. Admission adds the
eligibility read only when it has already proven an accepted result and
verified saved files for a Retry of that run. `resumeTaskRetry` adds one
key read after admission.
- Lock order: `resumePreservedResultFinalization` keeps the finalizer's
order (coordinator, then issue, then run). Because it can now run beside
Retry dispatch (which locks the issue first), it takes the issue and run
rows with NOWAIT. A busy row ends the attempt, and it retries up to 9
times at 100 ms. The 10th attempt waits for its locks, as this
resumption always did, so a recovered result is never left unapplied.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 369e238295 fix(projects): make workspace storage the project's only placement choice (#20835)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A repository project gets its working files from core staging or
from a workspace storage plugin
> - #20459 reported that an installed storage plugin attached every new
repository project, so sandbox agents could not use those projects
> - #20587 fixed creation with an **Available in** choice that selects
storage
> - #20651 then saved an environment on every new project and used it
before the agent default to place runs. That solved a problem that did
not exist: the project needs storage, not a run environment
> - Creation saves the first environment of the chosen group, so a
project silently sends every agent's runs to that environment. Project
Configuration also shows two controls (Environment and Workspace
storage) for one decision
> - This pull request removes the project run environment and makes
storage the only placement choice a project owns. Storage is fixed at
creation
> - The benefit is that runs follow the agent again, and project
settings show one clear, read-only fact about storage

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20459. Follow-up to #20587 and #20651.

Refs #11644. That issue asks for a project-level run environment
override. This pull request removes the override that #20651 added for
it, because the override is not necessary to fix #20459. #11644 stays a
separate feature request.

Related: #18176 (open) repairs placement through the legacy
workspace-policy field. This pull request does not restore project
placement, so it conflicts with the direction of #18176.

## What Changed

- **Remove the project run environment.** Migration `0466` drops
`projects.environment_id`. Run placement no longer reads the project.
Runs use the agent default, then the instance default, then local
execution. The low-trust task sandbox and the enforced sandbox policies
keep their precedence.
- **Keep the #20651 recovery and binding guards.** A recovered run still
uses its admitted environment lease (source `run`). Company-binding
checks before admission and during lease creation stay.
- **Keep the creation choice.** **Available in** in New Project still
selects storage. It still shows only when the environments need more
than one storage owner. That can only occur when a storage plugin is
installed. `POST /projects` with `environmentId` selects the storage of
that environment and does not save the environment.
- **Fix storage at creation.** `PATCH /projects/:id` rejects any storage
change with `409 project_storage_locked`, from core to a plugin and from
a plugin to core. Before, a core project could move to a plugin.
- **Drop legacy writes.** Older clients can still send
`executionWorkspacePolicy.environmentId`. The service removes it on
create and update.
- **Simplify Project Configuration.** Remove the Environment and
Workspace storage selectors. Show an advisory **Available in** list of
the environments that can use the project's storage. Show it when a
storage plugin is installed or when the project uses one. When the
project's plugin is not installed, show **Storage plugin unavailable**.
Without a storage plugin, show nothing.
- **Issue workspace card.** Remove the "project default" environment
label.
- **Shared contract.** Remove `Project.environmentId`, the
`environmentId` project field, and `expectedStorageProviderPluginId`
from the update schema. The create schema keeps `environmentId` and
`expectedStorageProviderPluginId` from #20587.
- **Docs and maps.** Update `doc/project-environment-compatibility.md`,
`docs/api/goals-and-projects.md`, and the project feature and
agent-access maps.
- **SDK source pins.** Refresh
`tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.json` for the two shared
files. The shared file blobs return to their values before #20651. The
refresh also corrects the `pnpm-lock.yaml` pin and `lockSha256`:
`master` pins an older lockfile blob than the one it contains.

## Verification

- Targeted server suites pass (227 tests): `project-environments`,
`project-workspace-provider.integration`,
`heartbeat/environment-selection`, `execution-workspace-policy`,
`environment-selection-route-guards`, `environment-run-orchestrator`,
`openapi-routes`.
- Related server suites pass (349 tests): `environment-service`,
`environment-routes`, `plugin-workspaces.integration`, `issues-service`.
- Targeted UI suites pass: `ProjectProperties.concurrency`,
`IssueWorkspaceCard`, `NewProjectDialog`,
`NewProjectDialog.managed-sandbox`, `ProjectDetail`.
- New tests:
- Creation saves storage, not an environment. Core and plugin projects
both reject a storage change with `project_storage_locked`.
  - A legacy policy `environmentId` is dropped on create and update.
- A new run follows the agent default for any project. A recovered run
keeps its admitted lease after the agent default changes.
- Project Configuration has no storage or environment selector. The note
is hidden without a plugin. It lists the core or plugin environments for
the project's storage. It shows **Storage plugin unavailable** for a
removed plugin.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`, `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/ui typecheck`, and `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared
typecheck` pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`, `pnpm
check:token-gates`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`, and `node
tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.mjs <HEAD> --check` pass.
- Not run locally: the full `pnpm test:run`, `pnpm build`, and browser
suites. CI supplies that coverage.
- Manual check: open Project Configuration on an instance with a storage
plugin. Confirm that there is no Environment or Workspace storage
selector, and that **Available in** lists the environments.

## Risks

- **Migration.** `0466` drops `projects.environment_id` and its foreign
key. The migration deletes the saved project environments. Apply it
before you serve the new revision. An old server revision that reads
`projects` fails until it stops. This is the same pattern as earlier
drop-column migrations (`0229`, `0289`).
- **Behavior change for existing projects.** Projects created after
#20651 shipped have a saved environment that overrides the agent. After
this change, their runs follow the agent default again. This is the
intended fix. Before #20651, a project environment selection was not
applied to runs (#11644), so no older behavior is lost.
- **No path from core to a plugin.** A core project, including one
created before a plugin was installed, cannot move to the plugin. To use
plugin storage, create a new project.
- **API.** A `PATCH` that sends `environmentId` or
`expectedStorageProviderPluginId` no longer has an effect. The schema
strips these fields.

DottaandClaude Fable 5.2 39442400b7 fix(native): let a saved governed wait settle on its own same-run resume (#20838)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs can save a governed wait (a question or confirmation for
a person) and park the provider turn
> - If shutdown of the retained execution cannot be confirmed in time,

`native_governed_wait_settlement_pending`, and schedules a same-run
resume that settles the saved wait (#20336, #20494, #20519)
> - That failure writes an active recovery action for the run. Its cause
is in `EXECUTION_RECONCILIATION_CAUSES`, and its wake policy resumes
that same run
> - When the run is a resolved-interaction continuation, its dispatch
gate checks execution blockers. The gate read the run's own resume
action as a hold and cancelled the resume with
`execution_reconciliation_required`
> - The task then stayed blocked with no Retry and no continue control,
and the saved question could not wake the agent
> - This pull request makes the gate skip only the run's own
scheduled-resume action
> - The benefit is that a saved governed wait settles by itself, with no
person involved

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20494, #20519, #20809

**What happened?**
A staging Codex run on a remote sandbox was a continuation after an
answered question. The agent saved a second governed wait (a
confirmation). Shutdown confirmation of the retained execution was still
pending, so the run recorded `native_governed_wait_settlement_pending`
and scheduled its exact-checkpoint resume. The resume reattached to the
remote runner and started. 32 s later it ended `cancelled` with
`execution_reconciliation_required`. No person cancelled it. The
lifecycle event of the cancel carried the run's own recovery action id.
The task showed `blocked` with `canRetry: false` and `canContinue:
false`, and no later run started.

**Expected behavior**
The same-run resume settles the saved governed wait. The task waits for
the person's answer. No run is cancelled and no recovery action needs a
person.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. A native run starts as a resolved-interaction continuation (context
`mutation: interaction`, `interactionStatus: answered`).
2. The run saves a governed wait, and shutdown confirmation does not
arrive in time (`native_governed_wait_settlement_pending`).
3. The coordinator schedules the same-run resume. At dispatch,
`decideCurrentRunStaleness` calls `getExecutionBlocker`, which returns
the run's own active action, and `cancelStaleRunInTx` cancels the run.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/execution-blocker.ts`: `getExecutionBlocker`
takes `resumingNativeRunId`. For that run it skips only the active
action whose wake policy is `resume_native_run` for the same run and
whose evidence names that run. Workspace-restore holds and all other
actions still block.
- `server/src/modules/run-dispatch/adapters/postgres.ts`: the dispatch
staleness decision passes the native run id.
- `server/src/modules/run-dispatch/adapters/postgres.test.ts`: the
failing case and two controls (an action for another run, an action
without a resume policy still cancel).
- `tests/restart-chaos`: new opt-in workload Q4 (a second saved question
asked by the first answer's continuation run). Provider-fault rules take
`occurrence`; Q4 rules use 2, so PV1/PV2 hit the second governed wait.
Codex shim and ACPX tap both honor it. README documents Q4.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: states that the run's own scheduled
resume is not a hold against it.

## Verification

- Red on master: `postgres.test.ts -t "saved governed wait"` fails with
`{ dispatched: false, status: "cancelled", errorCode:
"execution_reconciliation_required" }` (the staging error code).
- Green: the same test passes; the two controls still cancel.
- Focused: `postgres.test.ts`, `explicit-native-continuation.test.ts`,
`native-preclaim-continuation.test.ts`,
`workspace-recovery-preparation-gates.test.ts`; server typecheck.
- Harness: `question-handoff.test.ts`, `provider-faults.test.ts`,
`acpx-provider-faults.test.ts`, `journeys.test.ts`; harness typecheck.
- Chaos: `--adapters codex --workloads Q4 --faults PV2 --tasks 1 --seed
111` on master and on this branch (results in a comment below).

## Risks

- Low. The exemption is exact: same run id in the wake policy and the
evidence, status `active`, only for a native run being dispatched. A
recovery action that names another run, has no resume policy, or is
resolved keeps its current effect.
- Saved state from older versions: actions already written have the same
shape, so a resume that is still scheduled settles after deploy.

DottaandClaude Fable 5.2 1d52436bf8 fix(config): detect the tailnet bind host only when the bind reads it, one time per process (#20843)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server reads its configuration through `loadConfig()` in
`server/src/config.ts`. Runtime code calls it often:
`getStorageService()` calls it on each use, and the native runtime calls
it for backup storage, response delivery and attachment reuse
> - `loadConfig()` called `detectTailnetBindHost()` on each call. That
function runs `tailscale ip -4` with `execFileSync`, which is a
synchronous child process. The event loop stops until the child process
ends
> - A CPU profile of a busy hosted server showed this cost on the main
thread, on a server that does not bind to a tailnet
> - The tailnet address is an input only to the bind host, and only the
listener that the server binds at startup uses the bind host. Most bind
configurations never read the address
> - This pull request makes `loadConfig()` detect the address only when
the bind configuration reads it, and keeps the result for the life of
the process
> - The benefit is that a `loadConfig()` call no longer starts a child
process on runtime paths, so the event loop stays free for requests

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. I searched open and closed pull requests for
`tailscale loadConfig` and `detectTailnetBindHost` and found no related
work.

**What happened?**
Each `loadConfig()` call started `tailscale ip -4` as a synchronous
child process. A 30 second CPU profile of the main thread of a hosted
server (commit 556b249897, Node 24, main thread at 96% of one core)
showed `detectTailnetBindHost` ← `loadConfig` at 3.1% inclusive and the
native child-process spawn at 3.6% self. The callers in the profile were
`getStorageService`, `durableNativeHarnessStorage`,
`restoreDurableHarnessForExecution` and
`createRunnerdBackendWithinSessionClaim`. The server process was about
4.4 GB resident, which makes each spawn more expensive. The cost is the
same when the `tailscale` command is not installed, because the spawn
still runs.

**Expected behavior**
`loadConfig()` starts `tailscale` only when the bind configuration reads
a tailnet address: `server.bind=tailnet`, or a host without a bind mode
that is not loopback and not all interfaces. It starts it at most one
time per process. A change to `PAPERCLIP_TAILNET_BIND_HOST`, to another
environment variable or to the config file is still visible to the next
`loadConfig()` call.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx
scripts/benchmark-config-load.ts --calls=200` on the parent commit. The
benchmark puts a counting `tailscale` stand-in first on `PATH`, so it
does not need Tailscale.
2. Read the `tailscale execs` column. Each scenario shows 200 execs for
200 calls.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at e2cf9a670f. The profile is from 556b249897.

**Deployment mode**
All modes. The profile is from an `authenticated` hosted server. The
benchmark covers `bind=lan`, the default loopback bind and
`bind=tailnet`.

**Node.js version**
Profile: Node 24. Local benchmark: Node 26.4.0 on darwin arm64.

## What Changed

- `server/src/config.ts`: `loadConfig()` calls `detectTailnetBindHost()`
only when the bind configuration reads the address. With a configured
bind mode, that is `tailnet` only. Without one, it is a host that
`inferBindModeFromHost` cannot resolve to loopback or all interfaces
without the address.
- `server/src/config.ts`: the result of `tailscale ip -4` is kept for
the life of the process, also when the command fails.
`PAPERCLIP_TAILNET_BIND_HOST` is not kept: each call reads it first, as
before.
- `server/src/__tests__/config-tailnet-bind-detection.test.ts` (new):
regression tests that count `tailscale` starts.
- `server/scripts/benchmark-config-load.ts` (new): the reproduction and
benchmark.
- `doc/DEVELOPING.md`: removed the advice to set
`PAPERCLIP_TAILNET_BIND_HOST` for local fixtures to prevent repeated
discovery. The server no longer repeats discovery.
- `cli/src/config/server-bind.ts` has its own copy of the detection. It
is not changed: it detects only for `bind=tailnet` and runs in short CLI
commands, not on a server runtime path.

## Verification

Regression test, red then green:

- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/config-tailnet-bind-detection.test.ts`
- Parent commit: 11 of 11 tests fail. Examples: `expected 1 to be +0`
for `bind=lan` (the command ran when it must not), `expected 3 to be 1`
for `bind=tailnet` (the command ran on each call).
- This branch: 11 of 11 tests pass.
- The tests assert the number of `tailscale` starts and the resolved
bind host. They do not assert time. They cover `bind=loopback`, `lan`,
`custom`, loopback and all-interfaces hosts without a bind mode,
repeated `getStorageService()`, `bind=tailnet`, bind inference from a
host, `PAPERCLIP_TAILNET_BIND_HOST` (used without the command, each
change visible), a bind mode change in the environment and in the config
file, and the unchanged refusal when no tailnet address exists.

Benchmark, same machine, 200 calls per scenario, 3 runs each (ranges
shown):

| Scenario | Before: `tailscale` execs | Before: ms per call | After:
`tailscale` execs | After: ms per call |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `loadConfig()`, `bind=lan` | 200 | 4.5 to 6.0 | 0 | 0.063 to 0.069 |
| `getStorageService()`, `bind=lan` | 200 | 4.0 to 4.5 | 0 | 0.043 to
0.060 |
| `loadConfig()`, default loopback | 200 | 4.0 to 4.5 | 0 | 0.046 to
0.053 |
| `loadConfig()`, `bind=tailnet` | 200 | 3.8 to 5.1 | 1 | 0.74 to 0.92 |

- Command: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx
scripts/benchmark-config-load.ts --calls=200`
- Each call is synchronous, so the time per call is time that the event
loop is blocked. For 200 calls the block went from about 750 to 1200 ms
to about 9 to 14 ms where the bind does not read a tailnet address.
- The `bind=tailnet` row after the fix contains the one detection (about
150 ms for the first start of the new stand-in file on macOS). The other
199 calls start no process.
- `loadConfig()` also reads and validates the config file on each call.
After the fix a full call costs about 0.05 ms locally, so the file read
is not a material cost and this pull request does not change it. A
hosted server reads a stored snapshot from memory, not a file.

Other checks:

- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/managed-runtime-public-url.test.ts
src/__tests__/native-harness-backup-expiration-config.test.ts
src/__tests__/chat-webhook-public-url.test.ts
src/__tests__/managed-cloud-prerequisites.test.ts
src/__tests__/managed-loopback-auth.test.ts
src/__tests__/cloud-runtime-config.test.ts`: 84 tests pass.
- `tsc --noEmit` over the three changed TypeScript files: clean.
- `pnpm verify` exits 2 (broader verification required, because of the
new file in `server/scripts`). Required CI supplies that coverage.
- Not verified: the benchmark on Linux with a multi-gigabyte process,
and the hosted server after deploy. The local numbers come from a 200 MB
process, where a spawn is cheaper than on the profiled server.

## Risks

- Low risk. The resolved `bind`, `host` and `customBindHost` are the
same as before for each configuration. A configured bind mode other than
`tailnet` never used the detected address, and a loopback or
all-interfaces host resolved before the address was read.
- Behavior shift: a server process detects the Tailscale address one
time. If Tailscale starts, stops or changes its address later,
`loadConfig()` in that process still returns the first result until
restart. The server binds its listener one time at startup, so the
listener already had this property. From the code (not reproduced):
before this change, a `bind=tailnet` server whose Tailscale stopped
after startup threw from each later `loadConfig()` call on runtime
paths. It now continues with the address from startup.
- A failed detection is also kept. With `bind=tailnet` the server
refuses to start, as before, and the next start detects again.
`PAPERCLIP_TAILNET_BIND_HOST` overrides a kept result at once.

DottaandClaude 3914d0c94a test(chaos): add DF1, a sandbox disk-full fault on the final workspace save (#20810)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The restart chaos harness (`tests/restart-chaos/`) runs real agent
tasks and breaks the control plane on purpose, so failures show up
before staging users see them
> - A census of 48 hours of staging failures found runs whose result
save-back failed because the sandbox disk was full (class F). The
harness never filled a sandbox disk, so it missed that class
> - #20758 made a full-disk save end recovery at once with cause
`sandbox_disk_full` and a Retry. Nothing in chaos exercised that path
end to end
> - A real full disk cannot be made on demand. The owner chose a
test-only hook that makes the save report a full disk, not a small disk
> - This pull request adds the hook at the save's sandbox boundary and a
DF1 fault that arms it, clears it, and grades the result
> - The benefit is that every wave can now check the disk-full rest, the
Retry offer, and that Retry works after space is freed

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20758 (product behaviour under test), #20678 (finalization hands a
full-disk copy-back to recovery)

**What is the problem?**
The chaos harness had no fault for a full sandbox disk during result
save-back. Staging saw this failure (census class F in
`doc/plans/2026-11-11-staging-failures-vs-chaos-coverage.md`), and chaos
could not reproduce it.

**What is the expected behaviour?**
A wave can schedule DF1. While DF1 is armed, the task's final workspace
saves fail as a full disk. When DF1 is cleared, saves succeed again. The
task must rest with `sandbox_disk_full` and a Retry, and that Retry must
finish the task.

**Why does it matter?**
Without a fault, a regression in the disk-full path (no Retry, a wrong
cause, or a Retry that does not work) reaches staging users before chaos
sees it.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/sandbox-disk-full-fault.ts` (new, test-only):
`sandboxDiskFullFaultTarget` wraps the target of a final save only when
the harness armed that save. The capture commands then exit 1 with the
exact message the in-sandbox script writes on ENOSPC, and the provider
download fails with `No space left on device`. The gate follows
`@paperclipai/shared/crash-points`: `PAPERCLIP_DISK_FULL_FAULT_CONTROL`
is read once at import and ignored under `NODE_ENV=production`.
Disarmed, the hook is one comparison and returns the save's own target.
- `server/src/services/remote-workspaces.ts`: the capture call in
`saveRemoteWorkspace` passes its target through the hook. No other
product change. `workspace-recovery.ts` is not touched.
- `tests/restart-chaos/disk-full-faults.ts` (new): the DF1 kind, the
control-file seam (atomic writes), the rest evidence
(`activeRecoveryAction.evidence.systemRecovery.failure.cause.label`),
the `disk_full_fault` T check, and the DF1 R3 rule (one expected Retry
that must finish the task).
- Harness wiring: `--faults DF1` (refused without `--env daytona`, with
a storm, or with PV faults), no scheduled restart, arm at launch, clear
at the first rest just before the Retry click, receipts in
`<wave>/disk-full-faults.jsonl`, and ledger fields `diskFull: {
faultedSaves, restedDiskFull, retryOffered, retryWorked }`.
- Docs: a "Sandbox disk full (DF1)" section in
`tests/restart-chaos/README.md`, and the census plan marks DF1 as built.

## Verification

- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/sandbox-disk-full-fault.test.ts`: the gate is off by
default and under `NODE_ENV=production`, the save's own target comes
back when disarmed, only a listed final save is faulted, the product
capture turns it into the named disk-full failure, and clearing the file
disarms the next save.
- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts
tests/restart-chaos/disk-full-faults.test.ts
tests/restart-chaos/grader.test.ts tests/restart-chaos/scheduler.test.ts
tests/restart-chaos/provider-faults.test.ts`: planning, the control
file, and grading.
- `node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs tests/restart-chaos` and the
server `tsc --noEmit`: clean.
- Live Daytona waves (Codex, `--storage s3`, image content `96c4339f…`,
run through the two-slot queue):
- `w-20261111T131314-s9411` (B1): the hook was armed in the server but
no save reached it. B1 uses a local worktree synced into the sandbox,
not a remote workspace. Graded `not_applied` as designed. The harness
now requires `--storage s3` and the docs point at R1.
- `w-20261111T131941-s9412` (R1): 3 faulted saves. t01 rested `blocked`
with `sandbox_disk_full`, `user_action_required`, board owner, API
`canRetry: true`. t02 was cleared too early, while recovery still
checked its source; that recovery then saved and the task finished.
Fixed in 626f552e (wait for the disk-full verdict).
- `w-20261111T134316-s9413` (R1, after the fix): 2/2 tasks rested with
`sandbox_disk_full` and API `canRetry: true`. In both, the board showed
**"Recover saved files"** and no Retry button, so the UI Retry click
failed (`ui_retry_button_missing`). Retry-worked is not shown. The wave
was interrupted by SIGTERM during the post-rest file reads, before final
grading.
- Local wave: not run. A local run has no sandbox workspace save, so DF1
cannot fire there; the harness refuses `--env local`.

## Risks

- Low risk for production. The hook reads its variable once at startup
and is ignored under `NODE_ENV=production`. Without the variable it does
one comparison and returns the same target object.
- The hook fails every sandbox command of an armed capture, including
the read-only fallback's inventory. A real full disk can let that
inventory succeed and fail later at the download. The outcome is the
same (`sandbox_disk_full`), but the fallback's inventory step is not
exercised under DF1.
- DF1 runs only with `--env daytona --storage s3` and a remote workspace
(R1). A local run has no sandbox workspace save, so the harness refuses
DF1 there. DF1 is refused in `--matrix` waves, and T1's restart check is
skipped for DF1.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 34f2bb78ee feat(connections): connect Sentry with a long-lived user auth token (#20823)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents use app connections to call provider tools, such as the
Sentry MCP server
> - The Sentry connection has only one method: browser sign-in through
the hosted MCP OAuth server
> - That grant expires. An unattended triage agent loses Sentry access
until a person signs in again
> - During that time, a scheduled triage routine completes each run but
reads no Sentry data
> - This pull request adds a second Sentry method that uses a user auth
token
> - The benefit is a Sentry connection that stays valid until a person
revokes the token

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**
App connections: the Sentry entry in the connection catalog.

**Problem or motivation**
A Sentry connection that was created with browser sign-in on 2026-10-11
changed to "OAuth authorization expired. Reconnect this app to
continue." at 04:01 UTC on 2026-11-10. The agent that used it had no
Sentry tools after that time. Each hourly triage run reported the
blocker but could not continue. Unattended agents need a Sentry
connection that does not need a person to sign in again each month.

**Proposed solution**
The hosted Sentry MCP server accepts a Sentry user auth token in the
`Authorization: Sentry-Bearer <token>` header. It reserves `Bearer` for
its own OAuth tokens. Paperclip API-key methods already support a custom
header prefix. Add a Sentry API-key method that uses this header.

**Alternatives considered**
Reconnect with browser sign-in again. That restores access only until
the next grant expiry.

## What Changed

- Add the `mcp-user-token` method ("Use a user auth token") to Sentry in
`scripts/ingest-app-definitions.mjs`. It uses the same server URL and
sends the token as `Authorization: Sentry-Bearer <token>`.
- Regenerate `packages/shared/src/app-definitions/sentry.json`. I did
not include unrelated output that the content corpus drift caused for
other providers.
- Add a permission review entry for the new method in
`doc/connections/tool-method-permission-reviews.json`.
- Add a test for the new method and its header prefix.
- Document the token method, its required scopes, and its ownership risk
in `doc/connections/SENTRY.md`.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/app-definitions.test.ts`: 40
passed. The new assertion fails on `master` because Sentry has only one
method there.
- `pnpm exec vitest run src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts -t
Sentry` (server): 2 passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/pages/apps/app-connect-policy.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/satisfied-connection-intents.test.ts`: 64 passed.
- `pnpm verify` returned exit 2 (a doc is a global CI input). Required
CI supplies the broad coverage.
- Live probe of `https://mcp.sentry.dev/mcp` with an `initialize`
request: `Authorization: Sentry-Bearer <invalid token>` starts an MCP
session (the token is checked on tool calls). `Authorization: Bearer
<same token>` returns `401 invalid_token`. This confirms the server
accepts the header scheme.
- Not done yet: a real agent tool call with a real token after
deployment.

## Risks

- Low risk. This adds a method. The existing OAuth method and saved
connections do not change.
- A user auth token acts as its creator and lasts until revoked. The
method guidance and docs say this. Rotate the token when that person
leaves.
- If Sentry changes the `Sentry-Bearer` scheme, connections that use
this method fail on tool calls. The OAuth method still works.

discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e2cf9a670f fix(runner-e2e): resync SDK public lock pins and make the lockfile bot keep them current (#20623)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Runner support suite proves the plugin SDK public types from
pinned sources in `tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.json`
> - That registry pins the committed `pnpm-lock.yaml` blob and a
`lockSha256` that must equal the `outputSha256` in
`tests/runner-e2e/report-lock.json`
> - The lockfile bot refresh #20615 changed the lock and
`report-lock.json`, but the bot does not write the SDK registry
> - The bot merges without CI, so the drift guard from #20579 could not
block it, and every PR now fails `ci / Runner support suite`
> - The guard also checked only the source blobs, so it did not name the
`lockSha256` drift, and the sync script could not update `lockSha256`
> - This pull request regenerates the registry, derives `lockSha256`
from the reviewed policy, and makes the bot resync and check the
registry in its own commit
> - The benefit is that master CI is green again, and the next lockfile
refresh cannot leave the SDK proof stale

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20615. Refs #20579. Refs #20550. Refs #20613. Overlaps #20618,
which refreshes only the registry data. This PR has the same data change
and also closes the gap that let the drift land.

**What happened?**

After #20615 merged, `ci / Runner support suite` failed on master and on
every PR (for example runs 42877750315 and 42877750957, and PR #20613).
`source-sdk-public-type.test.ts` and `source-sdk-evidence.test.ts`
failed with "Reviewed SDK reference policy does not match public proof".
`source-sdk-public-inputs.test.mjs` failed with "pnpm-lock.yaml
(changed)".

**Expected behavior**

A lockfile refresh keeps the SDK public proof registry in step with the
lock and the reviewed report-lock policy. If the registry drifts, the
failure names the stale pin and the fix command.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Check out master at `3bf7af6c77`.
2. Run `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/runner-e2e/vitest.config.ts
source-sdk`.
3. See the "Reviewed SDK reference policy does not match public proof"
failure.

## What Changed

- Root cause: #20615 changed `report-lock.json` from output `2360d5e9…`
to `b3208306…` and changed the `pnpm-lock.yaml` blob from `851e65af…` to
`6d825f97…`. The registry kept the old values. `refresh-lockfile.yml`
commits only the lockfiles and the report-lock proof, and it merges
without CI.
- `source-sdk-public-inputs.json`: regenerated with `node
tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.mjs <HEAD> --write`. Only
`inputs["pnpm-lock.yaml"]` and `lockSha256` change. The compiler, parser
and Zod pins do not change.
- `source-sdk-public-inputs.mjs`: the sync now copies `lockSha256` from
the committed `report-lock.json` `outputSha256`. It refuses when the
committed lock is not that policy's reviewed input or output. This is
the same rule that `prepareReviewedSdkReference` applies. Only the
lockfile bot can write that policy, so a contributor cannot choose
`lockSha256`.
- `staleSdkPublicInputs()`: also reports a `lockSha256` that differs
from the committed report-lock output. The guard test then names both
stale pins and the `--write` command.
- `source-sdk-reviewed-fixture.ts`: the "Reviewed SDK reference policy
does not match public proof" error now names the two values and the fix
command. The check itself is unchanged.
- `refresh-lockfile.yml`: after the lock commit, the bot runs the SDK
sync with `--write`, amends the commit, and runs `--check` before it
pushes. `head_sha` is still read after the amend, so the bot merges the
exact commit it checked.
- Tests: new sync tests for a lockfile refresh and for an unreviewed
lock, and a workflow-order test in `lockfile-refresh-merge.test.mjs`.
- Docs: `doc/RELEASE-AUTOMATION-SETUP.md` §8.1 and
`tests/runner-e2e/OPERATIONS.md` describe the resync.

## Verification

- Reproduced on master: `source-sdk-public-type.test.ts` and
`source-sdk-evidence.test.ts` failed with the policy mismatch.
- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/runner-e2e/vitest.config.ts
source-sdk prepare-report-lock sdk-canary workflow-security`: 9 files,
135 tests pass.
- Before the registry change, the extended guard reported
`pnpm-lock.yaml (changed), tests/runner-e2e/report-lock.json
outputSha256 (lockSha256 changed)` with the fix command.
- `node tests/runner-e2e/source-sdk-public-inputs.mjs $(git rev-parse
HEAD) --check` reports `changed: false`.
- `node --test .github/scripts/tests/lockfile-refresh-merge.test.mjs
.github/scripts/tests/lockfile-refresh-workflows.test.mjs
.github/scripts/tests/lockfile-trust.test.mjs`: 39 tests pass.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit` on a host with load near 28: 6 files timed
out, and none of them are the SDK proof files. All 15 of those files
pass when run alone. CI runs the full suite.

## Risks

- The bot step now runs one more repository script. If that script
refuses (for example, an unreviewed committed lock), the refresh PR is
not pushed. Before this change, the bot merged a refresh that made
master red.
- `lockSha256` now comes from the reviewed policy, not from the old
registry value. The proof check is unchanged. It still needs the lock
bytes to hash to `lockSha256`.
- If #20618 merges first, this branch rebases cleanly, because the
registry change is identical.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, used through Claude
Code with tool use (shell, file edit) and code execution.

DottaandPaperclip 5f38226290 fix(build): report compiler signals in server typecheck layers (#20603)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its development checks help contributors verify changes.
> - The server typecheck runs the compiler once for each source layer.
> - A compiler child can stop on a signal before it reports type errors.
> - The wrapper returned failure without the signal or the affected
layer.
> - This pull request reports the signal, layer, command, and working
directory.
> - Contributors can identify an interrupted check from its output.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The server typecheck returned exit 1 after a layer banner when a
compiler child stopped on a signal. The wrapper did not report that
signal. Related layer work: #18737, #18738, and #18739. A search of open
and closed PRs found no duplicate signal-reporting fix.

**Expected behavior**

Report the actual termination signal and affected layer. Keep compiler
output visible and return failure. Do not infer a memory failure from
SIGKILL alone.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run a controlled compiler child that sends SIGTERM or SIGKILL to itself.
Run it through typecheckLayers and the real runTsc subprocess path. The
added tests do this without memory pressure or timed waits.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on 7368a0b15c.

**Deployment mode**

Source checkout on Linux with Node v25.9.0.

## What Changed

- Print a stderr diagnostic before the existing early return for a
compiler signal.
- Include the layer, signal, compiler command, and working directory.
- Add real subprocess regressions for SIGTERM in below and SIGKILL in
cycle.
- Check that child stdout and stderr remain visible and later layers
stop.
- Document the diagnostic and the limit of what a signal proves.

## Verification

- Red: the two new subprocess tests failed because stderr omitted the
signal and layer.
- Green: `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
scripts/typecheck-layers.test.mjs` passed all 47 tests. This includes
real compiler success, declaration output, and compiler error
diagnostics.
- `git diff --check` passed.
- `pnpm verify` returned exit 2. The wrapper is a broad input, so CI
must supply broader coverage.
- Preflight installed dependencies and built shared/plugin-sdk. It could
not build Rust outputs because cargo is absent. Rust builds are outside
the focused local test scope.
- Final head: `fdd68d7e13751573c661e80a285be86f1a1420bc`.
- [CI
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42867062133).
Typecheck, build, test suites, and all eight E2E shards passed.
- [Greptile gave
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/20603#issuecomment-6774642345)
for this head. No actionable findings or open review threads remain.

## Risks

- Low risk. Only the existing signal branch gains a diagnostic. Failure
propagation and compiler output handling stay the same.
- The controlled signal tests require POSIX signal behavior. Local
verification used Linux.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 81c9143fe4 fix: upgrade Better Auth to 1.7.16 with account migration (#18906)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - The board uses Better Auth for credential accounts and sessions.
> - The server pins Better Auth 1.7.2.
> - The November security release fixes 12 issues in Better Auth.
> - The new version stops writing the old required account issuer field.
> - This change updates the packages and the database contract together.
> - New users can sign up, and existing users can still sign in.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
The server uses Better Auth 1.7.2. The [security
release](https://better-auth.com/blog/security-release-2026-11-03) fixes
12 issues in 1.7.16. Earlier update PRs #17909 and #17911 target 1.7.7,
which is below this security release.

**Expected behavior**
Use the patched stable release. Keep new and existing credential
accounts usable.

**Steps to reproduce**
Read the server dependency pin. Upgrade it without a schema change.
Better Auth then rejects the required account issuer column. See the
[upgrade guide](https://better-auth.com/docs/guides/1-7-upgrade-guide).

## What Changed

- Pin Better Auth to 1.7.16. The repository refresh bot owns the
committed Core lockfile.
- Make the old issuer column nullable. Keep existing issuer values.
- Replace the issuer index with a unique provider/account index.
- Generate the migration and retain the five newest schema snapshots.
- Test new signup, new-account sign-in, legacy issuer sign-in, duplicate
rejection, and separate provider identities with real PostgreSQL.
- Update the database schema test. Test the historical issuer backfill
separately. Verify upgrades over existing rows and rollback on duplicate
provider/account keys.
- Document the duplicate check and migration order.
- Add the approved two-line dependency resolution step before the backup
job’s frozen install. Leave the frozen check and backup tests intact.

## Verification

- Core head: `af70282c7e24335b8688c8f3cc88fdf65045632c`; parent
`0f1481e4462100357a7caa496b875cf0bc500d95` includes master `84fc67317`.
- Nine changed files. The only workflow edit is the approved two-line
backup dependency resolution step; no managed lockfile edits.
- Migration `0465_better_auth_account_identity.sql` is three SQL
statements; snapshot changes only `public.account`, five newest
snapshots retained.
- DB typecheck and 23 focused tests passed on the parent. Both real
PostgreSQL migration/signup suites were rerun November 11: all 4 tests
passed. Application source and tests are unchanged in this workflow-only
commit.
- The parent’s sandbox-provider lane passed all 205 file-sync tests but
reported an unhandled EPIPE during the symlink rejection case; its
aggregate verify therefore failed. No unrelated source change was made.
The new head reruns the full applicable CI.
- Reproduced the old backup install failure locally. Resolving manifests
followed by a frozen install passed locally; restored the bot-owned
committed lock afterward. Hosted backup qualification remains required.
- Current-head CI and review are running; no final-head green claim or
merge yet.

## Risks

Apply the migration before the new server starts. Check for duplicate
provider/account pairs first. Duplicate rows stop index creation. Keep
separate users separate when resolving duplicates. The migration keeps
issuer data. Do not restore its NOT NULL constraint while new rows
contain null. No deployment is included.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip aaf1337c7b fix(slack): require mentions only for channel roots (#20821)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents for work.
> - Slack connects people to those agents through channels and threads.
> - A mention can start a conversation without making the bot answer all
channel traffic.
> - The current setting also requires mentions on every thread reply.
> - This interrupts an existing conversation and can cancel a queued
reply.
> - This change requires mentions on channel roots and allows replies
without a mention.
> - People can continue a thread without adding the bot name to each
message.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The Slack connection setting that requires an at-mention.

**Current behavior**
When the setting is on, a channel thread reply must mention the bot. The
delivery and execution checks reject a reply that has no mention.

**Proposed behavior**
Require a mention on a top-level channel message. Allow replies in
existing threads without a mention. Keep the current DM access controls.

**Reason and benefit**
A person can continue an existing conversation without repeating the bot
name.

**Breaking changes**
Existing connections with the setting on will accept thread replies
without a mention. The saved setting, default value, and API field stay
the same.

## What Changed

- Rename the control to **Require at-mention in channels**. Explain the
thread and DM rules in the help text and operator documentation.
- Keep the mention policy in the Slack module. Use the thread root and
message IDs to identify a reply.
- Call that policy from durable admission, wake authorization, and
queued run start. These shared paths must enforce the same setting when
a delivery resumes. Other providers keep their current behavior.
- Update PostgreSQL integration tests for thread replies, DMs, queued
deliveries, and combined wake inputs. Add tests that reject incomplete
reply identity.

## Verification

- Reproduced rejected thread replies and cancelled queued reply runs
before the fix.
- Passed 16 focused PostgreSQL integration cases after the fix.
- Passed 71 tests on revision `31b1adede2b92bad24b8fa21b8f6fffa9bd26d04`
after the rebase. This includes the full durable wakeup suite, Slack
policy tests, and eight selected Slack delivery cases.
- Command: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/chat-channels/slack/wake-authority.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/durable-chat-wakeup.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/chat-channels.integration.test.ts -t "at-mentions
by default|thread replies without mentions|rechecks queued
Slack|preserves running Slack tool authority|Slack channel mention
policy|durable inbound chat scheduler receipts"`.
- Strengthened the queued-root test to check the mention-rejection
reason and content redaction. A temporary change that disabled mention
enforcement caused this test to fail with the unrelated-message reason.
The real policy is restored.
- Removed the added source comments to follow the contribution rules.
- `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs` and `git diff --check`
pass.
- `pnpm verify` returns exit 2 because the operator documentation is a
global CI input. Required CI must supply the wider coverage.
- Local preflight installed dependencies and built the plugin SDK. It
could not build Runner Rust binaries because this environment has no
`cargo` executable. The focused server tests run without those binaries.
- Live Slack and browser tests were not run. This change uses the
existing provider message and thread identities.

- Required CI passed on `31b1adede2b92bad24b8fa21b8f6fffa9bd26d04`: [PR
workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/43035551294),
including typecheck, build, server/chat tests, Runner checks, and
browser E2E. Current-head Greptile and Paperclip reviews are both 5/5
with no open findings.

## Risks

- Existing connections with mention gating on will now accept
unmentioned thread replies. This is the intended behavior change.
- A missing or invalid thread or message ID does not grant the reply
exception.
- No schema migration is required. Destination, sender, and company
access checks stay in place.
- The existing chat integration test file is large. This change updates
its current Slack cases to reuse the full delivery and authorization
fixture.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning and code execution tools.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 fa3cd6f330 fix(native): end provider startup rejections with Retry instead of an ownership hold (#20808)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Paperclip Runner starts Codex for native runs. On a remote
sandbox such as Daytona, the sandbox is the OS boundary.
> - A Codex planning run on Daytona failed in `session.open`. Codex's
read-only sandbox helper could not set up loopback in the container
(`bwrap: loopback: Failed RTM_NEWADDR`), and Codex loads `AGENTS.md`
through that helper.
> - The server treated that definite provider rejection as an
interrupted transport. Its same-run bootstrap retry went through remote
restart recovery and stopped on `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.
The task showed "Recovering saved work…" and no Retry, although no
provider work was done.
> - This pull request gives such startup rejections a named, permanent
outcome with a working Retry, and pins ask and standard runs to the
external sandbox policy.
> - The benefit is that a provider startup refusal ends as a clear
failure with Retry, never as an ownership hold.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A Codex planning run on a Daytona sandbox failed in `session.open` with
`error creating thread: failed to load AGENTS.md instructions ... bwrap:
loopback: Failed RTM_NEWADDR: Operation not permitted`. The server
recorded `native_session_interrupted` with recovery mode
`bootstrap_retry`. Thirty seconds later, remote restart recovery blocked
the run with `native_restart_recovery_blocked` /
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`. No server restart happened. All
default-mode Codex runs on the same image succeeded that day; only the
planning run failed.

**Expected behavior**
A provider startup failure with no provider work must end as a clear
failure with a working Retry, or get a bounded automatic retry that also
ends with Retry. It must never become an ambiguous-ownership hold.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-startup-rejected-retry.integration.test.ts`.
On master the deterministic case is `retryable_failure` /
`native_session_interrupted`.
2. `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "provider
itself rejected"`. On master the new code is not produced.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at 84fc67317e.

## What Changed

- Server (`native-session-executor.ts`): new permanent code
`native_provider_startup_rejected`.
- A definite `session.open` failure maps to it when its startup
`providerFailure` is `requires_action` for `authentication`,
`permission` or `invalid_request`.
- On a remote execution target (`nativeRemoteStartupRejectionCode`), any
definite `session.open` failure with a startup `providerFailure` maps to
it. A remote same-run bootstrap after the runner launched cannot prove
ownership and stops on `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.
- The run ends as `terminal_failure` with a board owner and a plain next
action. The board offers Retry, which starts one new run with a fresh
provider session.
- On a local target, unknown, transient, rate-limit, quota and model
startup failures keep the bounded same-run retries and end as
`native_session_retry_exhausted` with Retry. That code is unchanged
because the chat-channel failed-run retry depends on it.
- Runner: planning runs keep Codex's
`paperclip-runner-workspace-read-only` profile, also in an external
sandbox. Codex 0.160.0's plan collaboration mode is a prompt ("Plan Mode
(Conversational)") and does not block writes or commands, so it cannot
replace that enforcement.
- Ask mode: an ask task builds `executionMode: "default"`. Its launch
has `readOnly: false`, the external sandbox profile, and no
collaboration mode. Ask mode restricts only Paperclip mutation tools,
not the Codex sandbox.
- Tests:
- `native-startup-rejected-retry.integration.test.ts` (new, embedded
Postgres, Codex provider): a deterministic rejection ends at once with
`canRetry: true`, and Retry starts exactly one new run. Unknown and
transient local failures stay `retryable_failure`. A spent retry budget
ends `terminal_failure` with `canRetry: true`.
  - Unit tests for the deterministic, local-retry and remote rules.
- `runner-provider-launch.test.ts`: ask, standard and planning launches
in an external sandbox.
- The Rust external-sandbox test now fails if a non-planning turn sends
a collaboration mode (`--forbid-plan-collaboration` switch on the fake
app server).
- Docs: `packages/paperclip-runner/docs/codex-driver.md`,
`packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md`,
`doc/execution-semantics.md`.

## Verification

- Red on master, green here: the commands in "Steps to reproduce".
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts`: 1364 pass.
- `npx vitest run src/live/runner-provider-launch.test.ts`
(packages/paperclip-runner): 22 pass.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --test codex_provider
external_sandbox`: pass. `cargo fmt --check`: clean.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json`: clean.
- `pnpm verify` returned exit 2 (a global CI input changed). Required CI
supplies the broad coverage.

## Risks

- Codex planning on Daytona still fails at thread creation. With this
change it ends at once with the provider message and Retry instead of an
ownership hold. A follow-up must make Codex's read-only sandbox work in
that container, or add a verified Paperclip read-only guard. This PR
does not relax read-only enforcement.
- A remote startup failure that could clear by itself now needs a Retry
click instead of an automatic same-run retry. Before this change, that
retry ended in an ownership hold, so no working automatic path is lost.
- A false `native_provider_startup_rejected` costs automatic retries and
shows Retry earlier. It never replays provider work, because
`session.open` precedes every prompt.
- Saved state: no persisted shape or launch argument changes. A run that
an older release held on `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence` after the
same rejection already offers Retry once its saved workspace is
recovered. No migration is needed.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 4c04c20c9e fix(recovery): wake a parent whose refused completion waited on dependencies that later clear (#20803)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A parent task that waits on blocker tasks resumes through the
`issue_blockers_resolved` wake
> - A periodic dependency sweep sends that wake when a blocked task's
dependencies become ready and no wake covers the current blocked cycle
> - The sweep skips a task that its own agent blocked, because that
agent waits on something outside the blocker graph
> - A native completion that Paperclip refuses for unresolved
dependencies is also recorded as a block by the agent's own run
(`durable_dependency_blocker_bound`). The sweep treated it as a
self-block. It woke the task only if a blocker later completed or
finalized on its workspace
> - When readiness cleared another way, nothing woke the task. It stayed
`blocked` with no next action
> - This pull request makes the sweep treat that refusal as a dependency
wait, and count a "Recover saved files" finalize without a workspace as
the blocker settling
> - The benefit is that a blocked task is not a silent dead end: it
resumes once, automatically, when its dependencies clear

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20728

**What happened?**
A parent task had three done child tasks that block it. One child was
still listed as "saving its files", because a "Recover saved files"
finalize had no workspace. The parent's agent tried to finish. Paperclip
refused the completion because dependencies were unresolved and set the
parent `blocked` (`durable_dependency_blocker_bound`). After #20728 was
deployed, the parent's dependencies were ready. But the task stayed
`blocked` with no wake, no Retry, and no next action. A person had to
post a comment to wake it.

**Expected behavior**
When the last blocker of a blocked task clears, by status or by finalize
settlement, Paperclip wakes the assignee once. This also applies to
tasks already blocked before a deploy that changes readiness.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Block a task on a done blocker whose workspace finalize is still
pending.
2. Let the assignee agent's native run report the task done. Paperclip
sets the task `blocked` with `durable_dependency_blocker_bound`.
3. Make the blocker settle without a later blocker completion or a
finalize on its workspace (for example, a recovery finalize with no
workspace, or a deploy that changes the readiness rule).
4. Run the dependency sweep. Before this fix it reports
`selfBlockedSkipped: 1` and sends no wake.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/recovery/service.ts`
(`wasBlockedByAssigneeAgent`): a native block with reason
`durable_dependency_blocker_bound` is not a self-block. The dependency
owns its wake. Other native blocks and agent blocks keep the self-block
rule.
- The same function counts a later succeeded `workspace_finalize` with
`owningService: workspace_recovery` and no workspace as the blocker
settling, which matches the readiness rule from #20728.
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation.test.ts`:
regression tests for the refused-completion shape (one wake, no second
wake), the recovery finalize without a workspace, and a safety case for
a different native block reason.
- `server/src/services/workspace-recovery-dependency-finalize.test.ts`:
a characterization test that a real "Recover saved files" signals the
dependency sweep for the company. This path already existed; the test
keeps it.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: documents when the dependency sweep
wakes after the last blocker clears.

## Verification

- Red (unfixed `service.ts`): `npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation.test.ts -t "refused
for unresolved|still holds a native block|recovery finalize without a
workspace"` fails 2 of 3 tests with `selfBlockedSkipped` 1 instead of 0.
- Green (fixed):
`src/__tests__/heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation.test.ts` passes 44 of
44.
- Related suites pass:
`src/__tests__/issue-dependency-wakeups-routes.test.ts`,
`src/__tests__/heartbeat-dependency-scheduling.test.ts`,
`src/services/workspace-recovery-dependency-finalize.test.ts`,
`src/__tests__/issue-recovery-dependencies.test.ts` (43 tests). Server
`tsc --noEmit` passes.
- `pnpm verify` exits 2 because a doc change is a global CI input.
Required CI supplies broad coverage.
- Staging evidence (read only): the affected parent's activity shows
`native-status-committer` set it `blocked` with
`durable_dependency_blocker_bound`, and no later blocker completion or
finalize.

## Risks

- Previous-release story: no persisted shape changes. Tasks already
`blocked` with `durable_dependency_blocker_bound` and ready dependencies
are picked up by the existing dependency sweep after deploy (it visits
every blocked task at startup and on recovery signals). No migration.
- Bounded: the wake uses the cycle-aware ready-state key, so one blocked
cycle gets one wake. The sweep keeps its live-run, queued-wake,
pending-interaction, and pause-hold checks.
- No loop: if the woken agent blocks the task again while its
dependencies are ready, the reason is not
`durable_dependency_blocker_bound`, so the self-block rule applies.
- The recovery finalize rule only applies to a finalize on the blocker
task itself with `owningService: workspace_recovery` and no workspace.

DottaandPaperclip 556b249897 fix: preserve exact Markdown in native document writes (#20605)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents save Markdown documents through native tools and REST routes.
> - The native write_document handler trims the supplied body.
> - This removes final newlines and can change Markdown whitespace.
> - This pull request preserves the original body after required-content
validation.
> - Agents can now write and read the same Markdown string across these
paths.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The native write_document tool removes leading and trailing whitespace.
A body with one final newline loses that newline on read-back. The REST
document PUT and write_task_document preserve it.

**Expected behavior**

The native write_document tool must preserve the supplied Markdown body
exactly. Required-content checks and key and title normalization must
stay in place. REST-backed paths retain surrounding whitespace and keep
their existing escaped-line-break conversion for single-line payloads.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Write a disposable document through write_document with a final
newline.
2. Read the document and compare the full body with the supplied string.
3. Repeat through write_task_document and REST. These paths preserve the
string.

Related work: Refs #18824. That change aligns document keys. This change
preserves body strings. A search of open and closed PRs found no
duplicate fix.

## What Changed

- Use a separate untrimmed required-string helper for the document body.
Keep the existing requiredString callback signature and all other field
normalization.
- Add real tool-handler, database, and authenticated HTTP tests for
create, update, read-back, and replay. Cover leading spaces, hard
breaks, blank lines, final newlines, no final newline, Unicode, and
mixed line endings.
- Keep blank and invalid bodies rejected. Document whitespace
preservation and the existing REST escaped-line-break exception.
- Fix the Runner support archive-scanner shutdown defect exposed by CI:
rejected ZIP scanners now receive SIGKILL so an ignored SIGTERM cannot
leave publication waiting for process closure. Keep all secret and
archive limits unchanged. A real child-process regression fails before
the change and passes afterward.
- Address all three initial review findings: callback type
compatibility, contribution comment policy, and the REST documentation
limit.

## Verification

Final tested head: `c9ff8cf3f83aa19e5d8313c65816a3a2e6562368`.

- All applicable [CI
checks](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/43019885807)
passed. This includes typecheck, build, Runner support, Rust, native
Runner, general tests, serialized suites, all eight E2E shards, and the
required aggregate gates.
- [Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/runs/130520170309)
passed on this head with confidence 5/5. All three review threads are
resolved. The independent Paperclip review also reports 5/5 with no
findings.
- Red at `7368a0b15c2f02107778a961144d86e2eb59a952`: `pnpm --dir server
exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/task-document-body.integration.test.ts`
failed because write_document removed the final newline. Cross-task and
REST cases passed.
- Green on the final source: 176 tests passed across the document body,
document key, native tool authority, task scope, document service, and
document route suites. The tests cover create, update, exact read-back,
replay, blank rejection, revision guards, and company scope.
- The ZIP shutdown regression failed before repair with “scanner did not
stop”. After repair, 54 tests passed across zip-inspection-shutdown,
private-reporter-artifacts, manual-private-cell-report-assets, and
private-evidence-budget. The regression uses a real process that ignores
SIGTERM.
- Earlier CI runs had two archive-related timeouts. The source repair
above replaces blind reruns. The Runner support suite and aggregate
verify gate now pass.
- A disposable live native document reproduced the original whitespace
loss. REST preserved the same string. The fixed handler passed local
integration tests. The running service has not been deployed.
- Local environment: Linux x64, Node 25.9.0, Vitest 5.0.3, and embedded
PostgreSQL. Local Rust preparation was unavailable because cargo is
absent. Final-head CI passed Rust verification. `pnpm verify --explain`
requested broad CI because evidence.ts is a global input. Required CI
supplied that coverage.

## Risks

Low risk. The change retains required-content validation. The product
change affects document body whitespace handling. The CI repair
forcefully stops only already-rejected archive scanners; it retains
fail-closed publication and all existing scan limits. It does not change
schema, authorization, revision guards, receipts, or persistence.

## Model Used

CI repair continuation: GPT-6.1, using repository tools and code
execution.


OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 (the exact serving model ID and context window were
not exposed in this session). Used reasoning, repository tools, and code
execution.

DottaandPaperclip 84fc67317e feat(runner): export authorized read responses as artifacts (#20606)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native agents use authorized API reads to get task evidence.
> - Small responses return inline JSON, so an agent must copy each
document into a local helper.
> - Copying changes bytes and uses model output for data transport.
> - This pull request adds an explicit artifact export for non-sensitive
GET reads.
> - Helpers can download the exact response bytes and check their
identity.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The native `call_api` response capture path.

**Current behavior**

Small JSON responses have no artifact reference. Local helpers need the
model to copy the JSON data.

**Proposed behavior**

`saveResponse: true` saves a complete authorized GET response below or
above the inline threshold. Zero-byte success returns an explicit empty
receipt without storage. The receipt returns an artifact ID, byte size
and SHA-256 for `download_artifact`. Other callers keep the current
behavior.

Related work: #17393 covers saved app-tool result size. #18105 covers
mutation response paging. This change adds an explicit read export.

## What Changed

- Add GET-only `saveResponse` validation and capture through the current
artifact store.
- Refuse sensitive operations, denied reads, partial responses and
combined text paging.
- Keep route authorization, actor visibility, storage budgets and
download integrity checks.
- Update the native tool contract, generated catalogs and API guide.
- Add boundary and real-route byte comparison tests.
- Preserve saved run state. This is an optional input field; old calls
and receipts keep their current shape. No schema migration or identity
reset is needed. The seeded catalog fixture is generated.

## Verification

- Final published head `d47b52e1bf412418e24768f865cc139097a6d068`:
[typecheck, build, all tests, Linux Rust and aggregate verify
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42918883477);
[Windows Rust
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42918883348);
[quality gate
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42918883016).
Greptile completed successfully at this exact head, 5/5; all five review
threads resolved. Automated Paperclip review remains queued due to a
failed reviewer run; no final verdict is claimed for that service.
- Current head: `d47b52e1bf412418e24768f865cc139097a6d068`. Merged
current master to refresh GitHub's stale base snapshot; the PR now
contains exactly nine intended artifact transport files, with no
lockfile or UI changes. Fresh final-head CI/review is required.
- Previous head `986ad87490fff93cfec313ba6fd56d3dc0bb665b` passed
typecheck, build, Rust verification, artifact/native suites and
completed test shards; remaining shards were still running when the base
snapshot was refreshed. Greptile was 5/5, with one unrelated master UI
finding resolved as outside the corrected PR diff.
- Review fixes verified at `986ad87490fff93cfec313ba6fd56d3dc0bb665b`:
2,135 checks passed across the five focused suites; Runner TypeScript
build and regenerated contract/catalog checks passed. This head replays
the original implementation on current master and retains the original
PR commit in its history.
- Review red/green at replayed baseline `da3a1d4de9`: empty HTTP 200/204
tests failed with real storage's `File is empty`, then passed with zero
new assets or quota reservations. Error-body tests failed without
size/truncation fields, then passed.
- Empty successes now return `empty: true`, `byteSize: 0`, `data: null`
without storage. Nonempty JSON results such as `[]` export normally.
Error receipts report byte size and truncation. Docs and tool guidance
state the existing 10 MiB download limit and paged text alternative.
- Previous-head CI typecheck/build/tests passed except the Rust
process-lineage cleanup test (`unattributed_orphan`); final-head CI and
fresh review remain required.
- Red at `7368a0b15c`: the small-document export test failed with
`Invalid call_api arguments` before production edits. The same check
passed after the change.
- Final post-rebase run at `6e7a35ed6a59bb74f4218312d9f10557099433c3`:
all 2,124 checks passed across the API, capture, artifact boundary,
real-route export and artifact download suites.
- Real-route export test passed: HTTP bytes, stored bytes and downloaded
bytes were equal. Foreign-company access and forged download metadata
were rejected.
- Existing API integration and artifact suites passed. Nearby API
integration checks also passed (59 passed, 2 skipped).
- Disposable native helper scan passed: 12 existing documents, 15 GET
requests, zero mutations, 73,919 bytes, 17.985 seconds. All files passed
size/hash checks. The bridge passed file references only. Production
token savings were not measured.
- Runner TypeScript build and generated contract checks passed.
- `pnpm verify` returned exit 2 and required broader CI coverage. Local
preflight stopped at missing Cargo after dependency and SDK setup. The
local server typecheck stopped during the cycle layer without a
diagnostic; the container recorded an OOM kill. This check has no pass
verdict. Required CI must cover typecheck, build and test at the final
head.

## Risks

- Each explicit export uses the current capture budget and storage
admission. Frequent small exports can reach that budget.
- An artifact holds one HTTP response. Callers must still follow list
pagination.
- No database or saved-state migration is required. The option does not
change default response behavior.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, through Codex in Paperclip Runner. Used reasoning,
shell execution and native tools. The active agent configuration
supplied this exact model ID.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 f125b823f4 fix(recovery): release a parent's Retry once a done child's recovered files are saved (#20728)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A parent task waits for its done child tasks to save their workspace
files before it runs again (the workspace-finalize barrier)
> - "Recover saved files" saves the retained work of a done child and
records a successful `workspace_finalize`
> - That finalize row had no `execution_workspace_id`. The barrier reads
finalize rows by the blocker's workspace, so it never saw the row
> - The parent's saved Retry then waited forever with "Saving its files"
on a child that had already saved its files
> - This pull request lets the barrier accept the recovery's own
finalize for the recovered task's finished operations of the same run.
It does not make the recovery finalize a workspace-wide save
> - The benefit is that recoveries work by themselves: the parent's
dependency wait releases and its saved Retry starts on the next
dependency pass, with no migration

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A parent task had three done children. One legacy child shared the
parent's execution workspace. The operator pressed "Recover saved files"
on that child. The recovery saved the files and marked the old run
succeeded. The operator then pressed Retry on the parent. The server
accepted the Retry, but the parent stayed on "Retry is waiting for a
finished task this one depends on to save its files" for more than 15
minutes. `blockerAttention.pendingFinalizeBlockerIssueIds` named the
recovered child. The child had no active recovery action and no
execution blocker. The workspace was clean (`dirty: false`,
`writerRunId: null`).

The child's workspace operations showed the cause. The latest operation
on the workspace was a succeeded `workspace_recovery`. The recovery's
succeeded `workspace_finalize` existed, but with `execution_workspace_id
= NULL`. Earlier finalize attempts of that run had failed.
`pendingFinalizeBlockerCondition` only looks at operations on the
blocker's workspace, so it found no successful finalize after the
recovery.

**Expected behavior**
When "Recover saved files" saves a done child's work, the child must
stop holding its dependents. The parent's saved Retry must start without
another operator action.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Let a child task finish as `done` with a retained remote workspace
whose finalize failed.
2. Run "Recover saved files" on the child, so recovery saves the remote
workspace snapshot.
3. Block a parent task on the child. The parent can share the child's
workspace.
4. Read the parent's dependency readiness. Before this fix it reports
the child in `pendingFinalizeBlockerIssueIds` forever.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Seen on staging at `a46b9ac7`. Reproduced on `master` at `e039be9202`.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/issues.ts` (`pendingFinalizeBlockerCondition`):
the blocker task's latest workspace operation is settled when a
succeeded recovery finalize (`owningService: workspace_recovery`) from
the same company, task, and run started at or after that operation
finished. The operation must be finished (`succeeded`, `failed`, or
`skipped`). The recovery finalize can have no workspace (all rows
written so far) or this workspace.
- The rule is scoped to the blocker task and its run. It does not change
the workspace-wide `finalized_at`, so other tasks that share the
workspace keep their own barrier.
- `server/src/services/workspace-recovery-dependency-finalize.test.ts`:
new regression tests that run the real remote "Recover saved files"
path, make the child `done`, and block a parent that shares the child's
workspace.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: documents how the recovery finalize
settles the dependency barrier.

## Verification

- Red (unfixed `issues.ts`): `npx vitest run
src/services/workspace-recovery-dependency-finalize.test.ts` fails 3 of
4 tests. The parent stays not ready with the recovered child in
`pendingFinalizeBlockerIssueIds`.
- Green (fixed): the same file passes 4 of 4 tests:
- a real recovery releases the parent in `getDependencyReadiness` and in
the issue list `blockerAttention`;
- snapshot-fallback shape: the preservation receipt has no workspace and
the child's latest operation is the run's failed finalize. The parent is
released;
- safety: a sibling task that started work on the shared workspace while
the recovery waited for teardown still holds the parent;
- safety: child work that starts after the recovery still holds the
parent.
- Focused suites pass: `src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts`,
`src/services/workspace-recovery-admission.test.ts`,
`src/services/task-retry.test.ts`,
`src/services/saved-bootstrap-continuation.test.ts`,
`src/services/remote-workspace-recovery-receipt-fallback.test.ts`,
`src/__tests__/issue-dependency-wakeups-routes.test.ts` (414 tests with
the new file).
- `pnpm verify` exits 2 (a doc change is a global CI input), so required
CI supplies broad coverage. Server `tsc --noEmit` passes.

## Risks

- Previous-release story: no persisted shape changes. Recovery finalize
rows already saved (with no workspace) are read by the new rule.
Affected parents become dependency-ready on the next read, with no
migration or backfill. The deferred-receipt and dependency backstop
passes then start the saved Retry.
- The barrier keeps its protection. Unfinished operations, operations
from another run, operations that start after the recovery finalize, and
other tasks on a shared workspace still wait for their own save.
- No schema change and no write-path change.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, used through Claude
Code with tool use (shell, code search, test execution, read-only
staging API inspection).

DottaandClaude 1ac8b6a711 fix(workspaces): stop re-saving a retained sandbox whose disk is still full (#20758)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - After a native run on a remote sandbox, Paperclip saves the sandbox
workspace back to durable storage. When that save fails, saved-work
recovery saves the files again from the retained sandbox, with no
provider turn.
> - A staging census of the last 48 hours
(`doc/plans/2026-11-11-staging-failures-vs-chaos-coverage.md`, class F)
found saves that failed because the sandbox disk was full.
> - #20678 already ends finalization at the first full-disk copy-back
and hands the work to saved-work recovery. Recovery then deletes
inactive tool caches that it can prove safe, and saves again.
> - When that save still found the disk full, recovery recorded a
transient `export_interrupted` failure with cause `provider_error`. It
then saved again on its automatic schedule (up to 5 retries in 30
minutes). Nothing frees space in a stopped, retained sandbox between
those attempts, so each attempt failed the same way. The task showed
"Recovering saved work…" and no Retry while this went on.
> - This pull request ends the recovery generation at the first such
failure with a named cause, `sandbox_disk_full`, and hands it to the
board with a Retry.
> - The benefit is that the task does not spend 30 minutes on saves that
cannot succeed, the user sees why, and one Retry saves the files and
starts one run.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20678, #20695 (named sandbox disk-full failures for copy-back and
restore)

**What happened?**
A native run on a remote sandbox finished, and its workspace copy-back
hit a full sandbox disk. Finalization handed the task to saved-work
recovery (#20678). Recovery's own save also hit the full disk. Recovery
classified this as `export_interrupted` / `retry_transient` with cause
`provider_error`, so it scheduled more automatic saves of the same
sandbox. Each one failed the same way. The task showed "Recovering saved
work…" with no Retry until the 30-minute window ran out.

**Expected behavior**
A save that still finds the disk full after the safe cache cleanup is
not repeated automatically. The recovery ends at once with the cause
`sandbox_disk_full`, and the board gets a Retry. The workspace keeps its
previous saved version, and the run's unsaved files stay in the retained
sandbox. One Retry saves the files once there is room and starts exactly
one run.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Give a native run an accepted result whose copy-back failed
(`native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted`).
2. Make every save from its retained sandbox fail with
`remote_workspace_sandbox_disk_full`, with no inactive tool cache to
delete.
3. Run saved-work recovery. Before this change, it records
`export_interrupted` with cause `provider_error` and schedules another
save.

## What Changed

- `workspace-recovery.ts`: a save that fails with
`remote_workspace_sandbox_disk_full` after a confirmed cache cleanup (or
with nothing to clean up) now fails the generation with
`export_interrupted`, retry class `user_action_required`, and cause `{
label: "sandbox_disk_full", code: "ENOSPC" }`. That class is not retried
automatically, and it is not a permanent-source class, so recovery never
falls back to the last save and never drops the run's unsaved files. The
next sweep hands the hold to the board.
- A cleanup whose outcome is unknown (lost acknowledgement, interrupted
journal) keeps the existing scheduled retry, because its journal resumes
on the next attempt and can still free space.
- `retained-provider-cache.ts`: `reclaimInactiveNativeProviderCache`
returns `{ changed, confirmed }` instead of a boolean, so the caller can
tell "nothing to delete" from "outcome unknown". It has one caller.
- `system-recovery-state.ts`: the board handoff text for this cause says
that the sandbox disk is full, that Paperclip deletes only inactive tool
caches it can prove safe, and that Retry saves the files again.
- New `workspace-recovery-disk-full.test.ts` covers the whole path: one
failed attempt, no further automatic saves, the board handoff text, the
previous saved version unchanged, the agent's files still in the
sandbox, no unfinished in-sandbox capture attempt, a Retry offered in
the task presentation and blocker, `POST /issues/:id/retry` accepted
(202), the files saved after Retry, and exactly one run started (also
with a replayed dispatch).
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: documents the behavior.

## Verification

- Red on master: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/workspace-recovery-disk-full.test.ts` fails. The recovery
state is `scheduled` with cause `provider_error` instead of `exhausted`
with cause `sandbox_disk_full`.
- Green on this branch: the same command passes.
- Related suites pass: `workspace-recovery-retry-copyback.test.ts` (79
tests, including the 8 cache-cleanup resume tests that need the
scheduled retry after an unconfirmed cleanup),
`system-recovery-state.test.ts`,
`workspace-recovery-capture-policy.test.ts`,
`workspace-recovery-fallback.test.ts`,
`workspace-recovery-stop-proof.test.ts`,
`native-run-finalizer-telemetry.test.ts` (167 tests in all).
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` is clean.
- `pnpm verify`: exit 2 (broader verification required), because
`doc/execution-semantics.md` is a global CI input. The focused checks
above pass. Required CI supplies the broad coverage.

## Risks

- Low. The change touches only the saved-work recovery path when its
save fails with the exact full-disk message.
- Upgrade-safe: the failure code (`export_interrupted`), the retry class
(`user_action_required`) and the cause label all pass the earlier
release's recovery schema. An earlier release that reads this state
shows its generic "Retry to try again" text.
- A full-disk failure no longer gets automatic retries in its 30-minute
window. If space became free by itself in that window, the user must now
press Retry. Nothing in a stopped, retained sandbox frees space by
itself, so this is expected to be rare.
- No Runner (Rust) change, so no new sandbox image is needed.

DottaandClaude ea25af759e fix(native): name a resume that finds no saved Runner state, so Retry starts a fresh session (#20757)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native run can continue the provider session of the previous run
on the same task. In a remote sandbox, the Runner keeps the session
state inside the sandbox, and the server saves a harness backup after
each run.
> - On staging, five runs in 48 hours failed with
`native_session_recovery_failed: Error: PRP provider resume state is
unavailable` (class P in
`doc/plans/2026-11-11-staging-failures-vs-chaos-coverage.md`).
> - In each case we read, the previous run had an accepted result, but
its `harness_state.backup.persist` failed. Its per-turn sandbox was then
destroyed. The next run started in a new sandbox with no Runner state
for the session.
> - The Runner transport threw an untyped error. The runtime could not
tell it apart from a transport drop. A governed-wait or same-session
checkpoint ended as a generic `native_session_interrupted` with an
"ambiguous state" hold that said not to open a replacement session.
> - This pull request types that refusal and lets the driver classify it
as `provider_state_incompatible` when nothing is in flight. The existing
recovery policy then decides.
> - The benefit is that the run ends with the permanent named code
`native_provider_state_incompatible`. Retry, or the next message,
continues in a fresh provider session in the same workspace. No provider
turn or tool call can be repeated, because the follow-up never started a
turn.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20712, #20723 (the same classification for a moved remote
workspace root). Refs #20691 (fixes the `provider_identity_incomplete`
part of class P).

**What happened?**

1. Run A on a chat task finished. Its result was accepted. Its harness
backup failed to save (`harness_state.backup.persist` failed,
`native.post_result_failure`).
2. Run B started for the next chat message in a new sandbox. It rebound
run A's checkpoint with `providerRecoveryPolicy:
allow_replacement_after_governed_wait`.
3. The Runner found no control-plane state and no archived authority
epoch. It threw `PRP provider resume state is unavailable` as a plain
`Error`.
4. The runtime refused a replacement for the governed-wait policy and
failed run B with the generic `native_session_recovery_failed`. The task
stayed blocked with an "ambiguous state" hold.

**Expected behavior**

The run ends with a permanent named code and a working Retry, as it does
for other deterministic refusals.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a Runner transport that resumes a saved provider session from
an empty state directory.
2. Request `thread/read`. On `master` it rejects with a plain `Error`.
3. Recover a saved Codex, OpenCode or ACPX session through the driver
when the transport fails that way. On `master` the result has no
`failureClass`.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `9574065a28`.

## What Changed

- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/contracts/harness-driver.ts`: add
`NativeRunnerResumeStateUnavailableError` (same message as before) and
`isRunnerResumeStateUnavailable`.
- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.ts`: throw
the typed error at the three branches where the control-plane state is
absent. The branch with no PRP identity and the quarantine branch are
unchanged.
-
`packages/paperclip-runner/src/drivers/codex/codex-app-server-driver-impl.ts`:
classify the typed error as `provider_state_incompatible` when the saved
session has no turn or runtime request in flight. Extract the in-flight
test that the moved-root check already used, without changing it.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describe the new classification
(additive).
- Tests: a transport test (local and external Runner state), driver
tests for Codex, OpenCode and ACPX Claude, in-flight cases that stay
unclassified, and a server case that shows the blocked task offers Retry
and that one click starts exactly one fresh-session run.

## Verification

- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/backends/native-backend-factory.test.ts -t "no saved state"`: 5
pass. With the driver change reverted, the 3 "reports … as provider
state incompatible" cases fail (no `failureClass`).
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-cold-restore.test.ts`: 5 pass. On
`master` the error is a plain `Error`.
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/backends/native-backend-factory.test.ts
src/drivers/codex/codex-app-server-driver.recovery.test.ts
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-cold-restore.test.ts
src/native-session-runtime.test.ts`: 410 pass.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/workspace-recovery-retry-copyback.test.ts -t "does not
continue automatically"`: 5 pass, including the new case. It checks
`canRetry: true`, an accepted Retry, exactly one queued successor, and
`forceFreshSession: true`.
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx tsc --noEmit -p .`: clean.
- `pnpm verify`: exit 2 (broader verification required) because
`doc/execution-semantics.md` is a global CI input. The focused checks
above pass. Required CI supplies the broad coverage.

## Risks

- Low. The change only adds a class to a failure that already failed. A
checkpoint with `allow_replacement_after_resume_failure` already
replaced the session for this failure, and still does.
- For `same_session_only` and `allow_replacement_after_governed_wait`,
the run now ends with `native_provider_state_incompatible` instead of a
retryable `native_session_interrupted`. Same-run retries stop at once.
They could not succeed, because the state is absent.
- A session with a turn or runtime request in flight keeps the old
unclassified behavior. This PR does not change it.
- The server code path is unchanged. The Rust Runner is unchanged, so no
new runner image is needed.

DottaandClaude 62b7733161 test(restart-chaos): long mid-tool K15 outages, Runner evidence, and TM1 stalls on Daytona (#20711)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The restart-chaos harness (`tests/restart-chaos/`) restarts or
stalls the control plane while real agent tasks run.
> - The staging census (#20679,
`doc/plans/2026-11-11-staging-failures-vs-chaos-coverage.md`) found two
open classes that the harness could not create. In class R, a deploy
lands mid-turn, the server stays down for 4–7 minutes, and recovery then
finds the remote Runner gone
(`runner_remote_process_identity_unavailable`). In class L, the server
stalls for about 100 s without a restart, and legacy runs that are still
`preparing` end up waiting for a manual Retry.
> - K15 restarted at once. No Daytona workload kept a tool running
across the fault. TM1 was local-only with a fixed range. Nothing
recorded what the remote Runner did while the controller was away.
> - This pull request adds a K15 outage hold, a mid-tool workload,
sandbox-side Runner evidence, and TM1 stalls on Daytona with a
configurable hold.
> - The benefit: these staging failure shapes can now be reproduced, and
each wave records the Runner's own state.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20679

**What happened?**
On staging, two failure shapes had no matching chaos scenario:
- Class R: a deploy landed mid-turn and the server stayed down for 4–7
minutes. Recovery then found the remote Runner gone. Nothing captured
why the Runner exited.
- Class L: a 100 s server stall without a restart lapsed every
controller lease. Legacy `preparing` runs then waited for a manual
Retry.

**What did you expect?**
The harness should create a long mid-turn deploy outage and a stall
without a restart on Daytona. It should also save the sandbox-side
Runner evidence.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use the census report and the staging run records listed in it.
2. Compare them with the harness options before this change: K15 has no
hold, TM1 is local-only, and there is no Daytona tool workload.

## What Changed

- `--k15-hold-seconds <n|min-max>` (0–600). A K15 stops the server with
SIGTERM, keeps it down for the seeded hold, then starts the next deploy
generation. The range is drawn only for K15 cells, so existing seeds
keep their plans. Storms use it too.
- New opt-in workload `T1`. The agent runs one shell loop in the
foreground for about 100 s, then saves `TICKS-<nonce>=50`. Its fault
window, 35–80 s after launch, lands mid-tool.
- New `daytona-runner-logs.ts`, a read-only probe of each wave sandbox
through the Daytona toolbox. It runs only on sandboxes with the wave's
labels, and only on `started` ones. It records every process, memory,
disk, `dmesg` OOM lines, and the tails of `runnerd.stderr.log`,
`runner-process.identity` and `runner-state.json`. It redacts known
secrets. It runs right after a K15 stop, just before the next deploy
starts, and at wave end. Output goes to `results/<wave>/daytona-runner/`
and to `runner_logs_captured` in the timeline. The probe never stops,
starts or deletes a sandbox, and a failed capture is recorded instead of
thrown.
- TM1 now runs on `--env daytona`, and `--tm1-hold-seconds <n|min-max>`
(10–600) replaces its default 95–150 s range with the same single draw.
TM2 and TM3 stay local.
- Tests: `k15-long-hold.test.ts` and `tm1-stall.test.ts`. The README is
updated.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts`:
45 files and 531 tests pass.
- `node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs tests/restart-chaos`:
passes.
- Daytona waves, all with T1 and K15:

  | Wave | Revision and image | Hold | Result |
  | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `w-20261111T015441-s9310` | master 8f6ca25976, image `bc7ca92d…` |
267–408 s, OpenCode | 4 of 4 pass |
| `w-20261111T022637-s9311` | master 8f6ca25976, image `bc7ca92d…` | 300
s, OpenCode and Claude | 4 of 4 pass. Every stop capture shows the T1
loop running. |
| `w-20261111T025307-s9320` | master a1ec05a1a4, image `09321542…` |
460–482 s, past the Runner's 7-minute reconnect grace | 4 of 4 pass |

- In every pre-restart capture, the same `runnerd` PID was alive for the
whole outage (etimes 491–549 s in the last wave). Every sandbox was
`started`. There was no `transport_reconnect_grace_exceeded` and no OOM.
- So the class R Runner loss does not reproduce on current master with
the e2e image. The census document lists the remaining differences from
staging.
- TM1 Daytona waves on master a1ec05a1a4 found a **new product gap**
(RED; the harness only reports it):
- `w-20261111T034105-s9330` (TM1 at `--fault-after-seconds 10`): 2 of 3
pass. The failing OpenCode run was stalled at
`native.process_start_requested`. Afterwards it waited forever with
`controller_still_alive` / `restartKind: hard`, where the controller it
waited for was its own live server.
- `w-20261111T040439-s9331` (TM1 mid-tool, T1): 0 of 3 pass. After the
stall the run had no further events and stayed `running` for more than
20 minutes, with no Retry.
- Review fixes in 3540bfe700: matrix cells take both holds, T1's
`fault_crossed_tool` check, and one 45 s deadline per Runner capture.
The suite is now 45 files and 531 tests.

## Risks

- Low risk. This change is test harness and docs only, with no product
code.
- The Runner probe executes one fixed read-only command in this wave's
own sandboxes through the Daytona toolbox. It never targets fleet
sandboxes, because it filters on the wave's company and environment
labels.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, in Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edit, GitHub CLI).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 1143abaf92 fix(recovery): give due exhausted holds their own fair lane in the recovery worker (#20725)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The workspace recovery worker saves the files of failed runs. It
also re-arms exhausted holds under the rules of #20295, #20569, #20641
and #20648
> - After #20680 and #20661 were deployed to staging, the worker still
re-armed none of 29 exhausted holds in 36 minutes. One hold's id sorts
in the first percent of all candidates, so the restart starvation that
#20680 fixed was not the only cause
> - The worker skipped every obligation while any unfinished save was
selectable. Discovery is instance-wide. A save that another server owns
stays unfinished on every run, so obligations never ran. The obligation
pass also put due holds behind hundreds of settled holds whose saved
input waits, at two per run. A completed pass never revisited a hold
that became due by time alone
> - This pull request gives due exhausted holds their own lane, and it
shares the worker's slots fairly between unfinished saves, due holds and
the obligation pass
> - The benefit is that every due hold is reached within a few runs of
the worker, whatever its other load. The holds save their files and free
their tasks without a person

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20680
Refs #20661
Refs #20648
Refs #20641
Refs #20569
Refs #20295

**What happened?**
On staging, 36 minutes after a deploy that included #20680 and #20661,
the workspace recovery worker had touched none of the 29 exhausted holds
of the company (22 capture-policy holds and 7 stop-proof or fallback
holds). They had no `stopProofRecovery` or `capturePolicyRecovery`
marker, no re-arm activity, and `updatedAt` from Nov 2 to Nov 10. The
worker did run manual "Recover saved files" requests: one stop-proof
hold saved its files 57 seconds after the request. So the worker was
alive and the stop proof was available. The holds were not reached.

**What did you expect to happen?**
The worker reaches each exhausted hold whose re-arm or fallback is due,
re-arms it, and saves the files, within a bounded time.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a scheduled save whose run's finalization lock another
database session holds (another server owns the run).
2. Create an exhausted stop-proof hold and an exhausted capture-policy
hold, in the evidence shape that the Nov 4 and Nov 10 releases saved.
3. Start the real workspace recovery worker.
4. The worker retries the busy save on every run and never re-arms
either hold.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/workspace-recovery.ts`:
`reconcileRetainedWorkspaces` draws candidates from lanes. Each lane is
a page that its own cursor advances: unfinished saves; for the worker,
exhausted holds whose re-arm or fallback is due; and the obligation
pass. Before, the obligation pass ran only when no unfinished save was
selectable (the gate at `const unfinished = rows.length > 0; if
(!rows.length) { ... }`).
- Each lane with work takes one free slot before any lane takes a
second. The lane that goes first rotates on each run, so with one free
slot (a long local export holds the other) each lane still gets it in
one run of three. Actions of a run that one lane took join that run's
job without another slot.
- The due lane wraps at its tail. A hold that becomes due by time alone
(a lease expiry or a re-arm backoff) is reached after the obligation
pass completed with no committed change.
- `retainedWorkspaceCandidates` takes a `dueOnly` filter (due re-arm or
fallback of an exhausted hold). The obligation filter uses the same
condition. One `now` is used for the whole query.
- The startup sweep (no worker sweep state) also shares its slots
between unfinished saves and its general pass.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: document the lanes and the fairness
rule.
- New `workspace-recovery-passive-fairness.test.ts` with four
real-Postgres regressions.

## Verification

- Red on `origin/master` (156212cfd5), green with this change:
- "re-arms both staging holds while a save that another server owns
stays unfinished": the real worker, a busy unfinished save, and the two
staging hold shapes. On master neither hold is re-armed in 20 s.
- "reaches due holds within two runs however many settled holds with
waiting input sort before them": ten settled holds with waiting user
input sort before the two holds. On master the capture-policy hold is
not re-armed after two runs.
- "re-arms a hold that becomes due after its pass completed, with no
committed change": on master the hold is never re-armed.
- "re-arms the holds with one free slot while a long local job holds the
other and a busy save stays unfinished" (from the Greptile review): red
on this PR's first revision (05b261e5fe), green with the lane rotation.
- `npx vitest run` of the twelve suites that use discovery or the worker
(`heartbeat-observed-workspace-preservation`,
`server-startup-feedback-export`, `execution-control-work`,
`workspace-recovery-preparation-dispatch`, `-retry-copyback`,
`-fallback`, `-warm-handoff`, `-preparation-gates`, `-capture-policy`,
`-preparation`, `-stop-proof`, `-admission`) plus the new suite: 646
passed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json`: clean.
- `pnpm verify` exits 2 because `doc/execution-semantics.md` is a global
CI input. Required CI supplies the broad coverage.
- Staging (read-only GET requests): the 29 exhausted holds, their saved
shapes, and the manual Retry timeline. Staging exposes only one company
to this account and no worker logs, so the exact unfinished row that
starved the pass on staging is not named. The fix removes the whole
class: no lane can starve another.

## Risks

- Previous-release story: no persisted state changes. Lane positions
stay in memory, as the existing cursors did. Holds saved by earlier
releases (no marker, no capture policy version) are due at once and are
reached in the first runs after deploy, with no migration. A deploy that
lands mid-run only resets the in-memory cursors.
- Behavior shift: obligations now share the two slots with unfinished
saves. With two free slots, a new save or a manual Retry gets one in two
runs of three. With one free slot, it gets it in one run of three.
- A due hold that its re-arm refuses again is revisited once per
due-lane pass. The worker already ran every interval while such a hold
was due, so this adds no new wakeups.
- One more bounded query per worker run (the due lane, 5 rows).

## Model Used

code editing, browser GET reads) in Claude Code.

DottaandClaude 08ea18085e fix(workspaces): restore a saved workspace into one copy of sandbox disk (#20695)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A task on a remote (Daytona) sandbox continues from its saved
workspace. Before the agent starts, the server uploads the saved archive
into the sandbox and a sandbox script extracts it.
> - The extraction wrote a full second copy of the workspace beside the
uploaded archive. A 7.5 GB workspace on a fresh sandbox then needed
about 15 GB, and the restore failed with `stage=extract code=ENOSPC
disk=full`.
> - The failure was classified as retryable, so every automatic retry
and every Retry repeated it on a same-size sandbox. The task could not
continue.
> - On a retained sandbox it is worse: the old root, the archive, and
the new tree all share the disk.
> - This pull request makes the restore need about one copy of the
workspace. The sandbox removes only data that control-plane storage
already holds durably, and it never removes a root whose save the server
did not prove.
> - The benefit is that a workspace that fits once on the sandbox disk
restores. A disk that is too small for one copy now gets a named failure
that does not loop.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A saved remote workspace of about 7.5 GB could not be restored on a new
Daytona sandbox. The run failed with `remote_workspace_restore_failed:
step=sandbox_restore; remote_workspace_operation_failed:
operation=restore exit=1; remote_workspace_restore_failed: stage=extract
code=ENOSPC disk=full exit=1`. The run marked the failure as retryable,
and each retry failed the same way.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Save a remote workspace whose archive is larger than half of the free
sandbox disk.
2. Start the next run on another sandbox, so that the server restores
the saved archive.
3. The upload succeeds. The extraction writes the second copy and fails
with ENOSPC.

**Expected behavior**
A workspace that fits once on the sandbox disk restores. A disk that
cannot hold one copy gives a specific failure that is not retried
automatically, and Retry works after the sandbox has more space.

**What the disk holds during a restore (from the code)**
- The uploaded archive
(`<parent>/.paperclip-runtime/workspace-snapshots/<operation>/workspace.pcws`,
about the workspace size, because the archive is not compressed).
- The extracted tree (`<root>.restoring-*`, the workspace size).
- On a retained sandbox only: the old root, which stayed until after the
new root was published.
- After a restore that died: its partial tree and its archive, which no
later attempt removed.

Refs #20678 (the save side of the same full-disk class).

## What Changed

- `workspaceArchive` restore has a `consumeArchive` mode. It creates the
directories and symlinks first, then writes the file bodies from the
last to the first. After it verifies each file against the manifest
hash, it truncates the archive behind that file. The archive and the
tree together need the workspace size plus the largest file. The default
mode, which the server uses for local restores, does not change.
- The sandbox restore script uses that mode on a private rename of the
uploaded archive. A later upload to the same path cannot change the file
that is being consumed. The script removes the consumed file when it
stops.
- The helper's own staging is now inside the root-specific
`<root>.restoring-*` folder, not in a shared `.workspace-restore-*`
sibling.
- While it holds the root's restore lock, and after the epoch fence, the
script removes leftovers of an earlier attempt on the same root that
died: `<root>.restoring-*` folders, `.consuming` archives in its own
staging, and archive staging folders that a `restore-target.json` binds
to the same root. Each restore writes that binding after the reclaim
step.
- When the server proved that a retained root is its own earlier, fully
saved allocation (`replaceRetiredRoot` and a Paperclip receipt, as
before), the script removes the root's files before the extraction, not
after the publish. The receipt and `.paperclip-runtime` stay, so an
interrupted restore proves the same root again and continues.
- A full disk at any restore stage reports `reason=sandbox_disk_full`.
The existing named-refusal rule makes it non-retryable, so it goes to
the board recovery action and does not loop.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the disk need, the reclaim, the
early removal, and the new reason.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/remote-workspace-transport.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-snapshot-archive.test.ts` (287 passed).
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/remote-workspaces.integration.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-lifecycle.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-archive-worker.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-snapshot-archive-environments.test.ts`
(122 passed, 16 skipped).
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json` (pass).
- The new tests run the real sandbox scripts against a folder with a
byte capacity. A `--require` preload makes each file write fail with
ENOSPC when the folder would exceed the capacity.
- Red on `origin/master`, green with this change:
- Fresh sandbox, room for the archive plus one file: master fails with
the exact production error `stage=extract code=ENOSPC disk=full exit=1`.
The fix restores every byte and leaves only the restored files.
- Retained root that the server proved, room for the old root, the
archive, and one file: master fails with ENOSPC. The fix restores and
keeps the runner state.
- Too small for one copy: the failure is `stage=extract
reason=sandbox_disk_full`, with no partial tree or archive left. A retry
with more space then restores.
- Both sandbox processes are killed mid-extraction (a restart): a retry
with the same identity and a retry with a new identity and epoch both
reclaim the leftovers and restore into the same capacity.
- The command dies right after it removed a proven root's files: the
next restore proves the root again from its kept receipt, restores, and
keeps the runner state.
- Integration test through `prepareRemoteWorkspace`: a full disk gives
`retryable: false` with `reason=sandbox_disk_full`. On master the same
case is `retryable: true`.
- Guards (pass on master and with the fix): a retained root without the
server proof, or without a Paperclip receipt, is refused with
`reason=occupied_root`, and none of its files are removed.
- Previous-release story: the archive format and the saved state do not
change. A partial `<root>.restoring-*` tree from the previous release is
reclaimed (test). Archive staging from the previous release has no
binding, so it is kept (test). The previous release's shared
`.workspace-restore-*` siblings cannot be bound to a root, so they are
kept.

## Risks

- The consumed archive cannot be read again. Each restore uploads a new
copy from control-plane storage, and the early-return path for an
already restored root does not read the archive. Every file is still
checked against the manifest, and the manifest is checked against the
saved digest.
- The reclaim step removes data only under the root's restore lock and
after the epoch fence. It removes only names that a restore of the same
root creates. Staging that names another root, or no root, is kept.
- The early removal of a retained root depends on the existing server
proof (`isRetiredOwnAllocation`) and the receipt check. If a restore
fails after the removal, the saved version in storage is the source of
truth, and the next restore proves the same root again.
- Files in a lower overlay layer of a resumed sandbox image do not free
space when they are removed. Such a sandbox can still be full.
- A workspace that is larger than the free disk after the upload, plus
its largest file, still fails. It now fails with the named,
non-retryable `reason=sandbox_disk_full`.
- No change to `packages/paperclip-runner`, the database schema, or the
API.

DottaandClaude 4baff83225 fix(chat): never batch messages of two chat conversations into one wake (#20697)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Chat channels let a linked user talk to an agent from GitHub, Slack
and other platforms. Each external thread is a chat conversation. Many
conversations can share one task.
> - A reviewed chat run attests exactly one conversation. #17054 keeps
each conversation in its own wake batch, but it compares only the
conversation that a wake records.
> - The work-intent outbox saves unanswered user messages as a plain
comment wake. That wake records no conversation, even when its messages
are chat messages. A wake with no recorded conversation matched every
conversation, so a message from another conversation merged into it.
> - The promoted run held messages of two conversations. The binding
check correctly refused it
(`reviewed_chat_execution_binding_not_authorized`, `binding_denied`),
and the task needed Retry.
> - This pull request compares the conversations of the queued messages
themselves. Wakes of different conversations never merge. Each
conversation gets its own run, in order.
> - The benefit is that replies in several threads of one task each get
an attested run, without a failed run or a Retry.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17054 (the earlier per-conversation batching fix). Refs #20689 (a
different shape of the same error).

**What happened?**
On staging, a GitHub pull-request review task had two runs fail with
`setup_failed` / `reviewed_chat_execution_binding_not_authorized`
(`reviewedChatBinding.denialReason: binding_denied`). Each failed run
held the same two older saved messages plus one new message. The two
runs recorded two different `chatConversationId` values. The work-intent
outbox had saved the older messages as plain deferred wakes with no
conversation. A new message from each conversation then merged into one
of these saved wakes.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Bind two chat conversations to one `in_review` task.
2. Let the outbox save an unanswered message of conversation B as a
deferred wake while a run is active.
3. As the linked user, send a message in conversation A while the run is
still active.
4. See that the message of A merges into the saved wake of B. The
promoted run fails the binding check.

**Expected behavior**
The saved message of B runs as its own wake. The message of A runs after
it, in its own attested run.

## What Changed

- New
`server/src/modules/wake-queue/adapters/chat-conversation-batch.ts`:
reads the inbound chat links (`chat_message_links`, direction `inbound`)
of queued messages and finds messages of a conversation other than the
expected one.
- Deferred-wake lookup (`findExistingDeferredWake`): when the incoming
wake has a conversation, a saved wake qualifies only if none of its
queued messages is an inbound message of another conversation. This is
one more predicate in the same query (no new round trip). It uses the
existing `chat_message_links_company_comment_idx` index.
- Coalescing into the active run (`coalesceIntoActiveExecutionRun`):
returns no merge when the merged batch would hold messages of a
conversation other than the one it records. The wake is then saved
behind the run, which is the existing fallback.
- Release drain (`findNextDeferredWake`), upgrade repair: a saved chat
wake that older code already merged across two conversations is split.
The other conversation's messages move to a plain saved wake (the outbox
shape), ordered just before it. The original wake keeps its conversation
and its own messages. The drain then reads the queue again.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describe the comparison and the upgrade
repair.
- New test `chat-wake-conversation-batch.test.ts` (embedded Postgres,
real admission and release code, real
`authorizeChatConversationForBoundRun`).

## Verification

- Red on `origin/master` (test file only): `pnpm --dir server exec
vitest run
src/modules/wake-queue/adapters/chat-wake-conversation-batch.test.ts`
gives 4 failed, 6 passed. The 4 failures are the bug: the new message
merges into the other conversation's saved wake (`[[earlier, reply]]`),
two conversations cross-merge, a message coalesces into a queued run of
another conversation, and the old merged shape stays merged. The 6
passing cases pin unchanged batching.
- Green with the fix: 10 of 10 pass. Each separated wake passes
`authorizeChatConversationForBoundRun` for its own conversation. The old
merged shape fails it with
`paperclip_runner_chat_attachment_binding_denied` before the split.
- Batching that stays the same (pinned, pass before and after): comment
wakes with no conversation merge; messages of one conversation merge; an
outbox-saved wake of the same conversation still absorbs the reply; a
chat message and plain comments merge in both orders; same-conversation
messages still coalesce into a queued run; two recorded conversations
stay apart.
- Related suites pass locally: `src/modules/wake-queue`,
`src/modules/run-dispatch`, `chat-run-milestone-work`,
`durable-chat-wakeup`, `heartbeat-comment-wake-batching`,
`heartbeat-reviewed-chat-binding.integration`,
`slack-conversation-lifecycle`, `queued-comment-consumption`,
`issue-queued-comments-routes` (23 files, 1037 tests).
`heartbeat-process-recovery`: see the comment below.
- `tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` passes.

## Risks

- Low risk. No schema change and no migration.
- Behavior change only for chat messages: a message no longer joins a
saved wake or a run that holds another conversation's inbound messages.
It gets its own wake behind them, and it runs after them. Before this
change, that batch always failed the binding check.
- Board comments have no inbound chat link, so they belong to no
conversation. Wakes without a conversation, wakes of one conversation,
and mixed board-comment and chat wakes batch exactly as before.
- Ordering: the deferred queue still promotes one wake per release,
oldest first. The second conversation waits for the issue execution
lock. Single-assignee and atomic checkout are unchanged.
- Upgrade: a saved wake that older code merged across conversations is
split at promotion. No message is dropped or delivered twice: each
message id moves to exactly one wake. A run that older code already
promoted in the merged shape is not changed; it fails the binding check
as before and keeps its existing Retry path.
- No wait is added before a turn starts. Admission adds one predicate to
an existing query. Coalescing adds one indexed read only when the merged
batch has a chat conversation.

DottaandClaude a46b9ac724 fix(native): wait out an ACP usage limit's reported reset, then Retry the task (#20692)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs (Paperclip Runner with an ACP harness, such as Claude)
can stop because the provider account runs out of its usage allowance
> - The ACP harness reports this as a "terminal limit failure".
Paperclip blocked the task behind a board hold that called the session
state ambiguous, and the only way forward was a manual Retry
> - The provider also says when the limit resets, for example "resets
Nov 12, 6pm (UTC)" for a weekly limit. Paperclip read only clock-only
resets ("resets 2am"), so the agent-level wait fell back to one hour.
Each later wake for the agent then hit the limit again and blocked
another task
> - This pull request reads calendar resets, says on the hold when the
limit resets, and requests the task's Retry itself at that time when the
reset is reported and bounded
> - The benefit is that a usage limit no longer needs a person to click
Retry, and the agent's other tasks wait instead of failing one by one

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A native ACP run failed with `native_provider_usage_limit` ("ACP agent
reported a terminal limit failure. You've hit your weekly limit · resets
Nov 12, 6pm (UTC)"). The task went to `blocked` with a board-owned hold.
The hold said "Inspect the original provider failure and explicitly
resolve the ambiguous session state". Nothing resumed the task after the
reset. The agent-level `provider_limit_wait` recorded "no reset time was
reported, so Paperclip waits one hour", so every hour another wake
dispatched, hit the limit, and blocked another task. In one 48-hour
window on a staging instance, this blocked 7 tasks for one agent.

**What did you expect?**
When the provider reports a bounded reset, the task waits and continues
after the reset, like the existing `provider_limit_wait` path. When the
reset is unknown, the task fails with a clear message and a working
Retry.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a native ACP agent until its provider reports a weekly or session
limit with a reset time.
2. Look at the task: it is blocked with an "ambiguous session state"
hold.
3. Wait past the reported reset: the task stays blocked until a person
clicks Retry.

Refs #20666 (other recovery work in the same staging census; not changed
here)

## What Changed

- `provider-quota-reset.ts`: parse calendar resets such as "resets Nov
12, 6pm (UTC)", "resets Jul 17th at 4:30 PM (America/Chicago)" and
"Resets on August 2, 9am (UTC)". A past date rolls into next year. An
impossible date (Nov 31) is refused. Clock-only parsing is unchanged.
This also fixes the agent-level `provider_limit_wait` reset and the
legacy `provider_quota` reset for these messages.
- New `native-runtime/provider-limit-resume.ts`:
- `readNativeUsageLimitReset` reads the reset only from the run's own
durable events. The last turn event must be a provider-observed
`turn.failed` with a `rate_limit` or `quota_exhausted` provider failure,
and the reset must be at most eight days out.
- `requestProviderLimitResumeRetry` asks for the task's Retry
(`requestTaskRetry`, `initiatedBy: "provider_limit_reset"`) on behalf of
the user who requested the run, or the run's accountable user for
automatic wakes. It is idempotent per run and records its outcome on the
hold. At most three automatic Retries follow one another without a
successful run.
- `registerProviderLimitResumeWork` is a scoped deadline owner (shared
work scheduler, no polling). Each active usage-limit hold is due at its
reset. Startup rebuilds it from the holds, and the executor notifies it
in the hold's transaction.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: for a terminal usage limit, the hold and
run failure detail say when the limit resets and whether Paperclip
retries then, instead of "ambiguous session state". The evidence records
`providerLimitResetAt`.
- `task-retry.ts`: accept `initiatedBy: "provider_limit_reset"`. Its
activity is recorded as system actor `provider-limit-reset` on behalf of
the user, like `restart_recovery`.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: document the wait and its limits.

Previous-release story: holds saved by the previous release carry
forward. At startup the owner reads each active
`native_provider_usage_limit` hold. It rewrites the hold's message with
the reset when the reset is known and still ahead, and it requests the
Retry at the reset. Holds whose reset is unknown, more than a day in the
past, or that have no accountable user keep their Retry and are recorded
as not requested, so they are not read again.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run server/src/services/provider-quota-reset.test.ts` — 4
tests. Three fail on `origin/master` code (calendar resets return
`null`), all pass with this change.
- `npx vitest run
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-provider-capacity.integration.test.ts`
— 5 tests on embedded Postgres:
- the existing usage-terminal test (both replay modes) still blocks with
a Retry, and no automatic Retry is requested without a reported reset;
- "waits for a reported usage-limit reset and then requests the task's
Retry once": the hold says when the limit resets, an old-release hold is
rewritten, nothing starts before the reset, one Retry receipt is created
for the accountable user at the reset, and a second pass does nothing.
Fails on `origin/master` executor code;
- "starts the Retry from the hold's own deadline": a real delivery
coordinator rebuilds the deadline from the hold and calls Retry dispatch
once, after the reset;
- "leaves a visible Retry when no user is accountable for the run".
Fails on `origin/master` executor code.
- Focused regression suites pass (642 tests): `task-retry`,
`quarantined-task-retry`, `heartbeat-native-restart-suspension`,
`native-startup-retry.integration`, `provider-failure-classification`,
`heartbeat-provider-limit-wait`, `deferred-execution-receipt-work`,
`chat-run-publications`, `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration`,
`native-remote-retry-admission`.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit` passes.
- `pnpm verify` selected a broad run (exit 2, because the docs file is a
global CI input). CI supplies the broad coverage.

## Risks

- The automatic Retry uses the accountable user's authority for
automatic (system) wakes. It is the same Retry the hold already offered
that user, and dispatch still checks Retry authority, stop proof, saved
work and action reconciliation. It is never broader than a click.
- A provider that keeps reporting resets that do not restore capacity
gets at most three automatic Retries in a row; then the Retry stays
visible.
- The deadline owner reads all active usage-limit holds at startup
(limit 500 rows). The number of such holds is small.
- Not changed: the agent-level wait still holds new wakes for at most
one day, as before.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits, read-only staging API reads). Extended
reasoning enabled.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 69c69e4c20 fix(recovery): finish the passive recovery pass before restarting it (#20680)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The workspace recovery worker saves the files of failed runs. One
passive pass of the worker visits holds with obligations: saved input
that waits, cleanup, and due re-arms and fallbacks of exhausted holds
> - #17741 restarts that pass after each committed workspace-recovery
change, so new work is found quickly
> - On staging, changes commit continuously (stop receipts, new holds,
recovery progress). Every pass restarted from the first candidates,
which are settled holds whose saved input waits behind another hold, and
it never reached later candidates
> - After #20295, #20569 and #20661 were deployed, no due re-arm ran:
five stop-proof holds and about twenty capture-policy holds kept their
exhausted state, with no marker and no activity
> - This pull request restarts the pass only after it reaches its tail,
and it continues an unfinished pass on the next run
> - The benefit is that every candidate is visited on a busy instance,
so the exhausted holds re-arm, save their files and free their tasks
without an administrator

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17741
Refs #20295
Refs #20569
Refs #20661

**What happened?**
Exhausted workspace holds were not re-armed on staging, even after the
fixes that add their re-arm were deployed. Their recovery actions stayed
unchanged for days (`updatedAt` on Nov 5 or Nov 10). No
`stopProofRecovery` or `capturePolicyRecovery` marker and no
`issue.workspace_recovery_rearmed` activity was recorded. The worker did
process new restore holds, which are selected by its unfinished pass.

**What did you expect to happen?**
The worker's passive pass reaches every hold with a due re-arm or
fallback, re-arms it, and saves the files.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create several settled holds with saved user input that waits, with
action ids that sort before an exhausted stop-proof hold.
2. Start the real workspace recovery worker.
3. Commit a workspace-recovery notification every 50 ms, as stop
receipts and new holds do on a busy instance.
4. The worker never re-arms the exhausted hold. Without the
notifications, it re-arms the hold.

## What Changed

- `workspace-recovery-work.ts`: a committed change marks the passive
pass for restart (`restart`). It no longer resets the cursor. While a
restart is pending, an unfinished pass that made progress continues on
the next run.
- `workspace-recovery.ts`: when the passive cursor passes the last
candidate and a restart is pending, the same run starts a fresh pass
from the first candidate, so a new change is not delayed by another run
interval. Without a pending restart the pass records `complete` and does
not wrap, so paused input does not keep the worker active.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: document that a pass is never restarted
midway.
- `workspace-recovery-stop-proof.test.ts`: add a real-worker regression
in the staging shape (six earlier settled holds with waiting user input,
one exhausted stop-proof hold, continuous notifications).

## Verification

- Red: on master, the new test "re-arms the hold on a busy instance
whose passive sweep keeps selecting earlier settled holds" fails
(`stopProofRecovery` stays undefined). Control: the same test without
the notifications passes on master. This shows that the restarts cause
the starvation.
- Green: with the fix, the test passes. These suites pass:
`workspace-recovery-stop-proof` (12), `execution-control-work` (27),
which includes "visits a newly committed earlier Retry during a busy
recovered-source pass, then becomes quiet", plus
`workspace-recovery-capture-policy`,
`workspace-recovery-preparation-dispatch`,
`workspace-recovery-warm-handoff`, `workspace-recovery-preparation` and
`server-startup-feedback-export` (279). The timing-sensitive
`heartbeat-observed-workspace-preservation` suite passed 6 of 6 runs (an
earlier revision that restarted only on the next run made it flaky).
- Staging evidence (read-only GET requests): the 28 exhausted holds of
the company have no re-arm marker and no fallback check. Many blocked
tasks with settled holds have deferred wakes.

## Risks

- A change committed during a pass is now picked up at the next pass,
not at once. Unfinished physical work still uses its own pass first, so
new recoveries are not delayed. Saved input in a passive obligation can
wait up to one full pass.
- Previous-release story: no persisted state changes. Holds saved by
earlier releases are selected on the first full pass after deploy, with
no migration.
- Quiet behavior stays: a completed pass with no new change keeps the
worker idle.

code editing, browser GET reads) in Claude Code.

DottaandClaude 3fdcc2a28c fix(runner): resend an ACPX turn whose start was cut off before the prompt left (#20675)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native ACPX run (for example Claude) sends `turn.start` to its
Runner. The Runner asks the ACPX sidecar to start the turn, and the
sidecar sends the prompt to the provider

outlast the sidecar request deadline, or the sidecar or Runner can die

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Local restart-chaos wave `w-20261110T185315-s9107`, task t05 (claude,
workload C1, fault TM2). A follow-up run reopened the parked Claude
session and sent `turn.start`. The sidecar first starts Claude and loads
the conversation; the prompt goes out only after that. After 24 s
without a reply, the harness froze the server, Runner, sidecar and
Claude (SIGSTOP) for 33 s. On thaw the Runner's 30 s sidecar deadline
had passed. It reaped the sidecar and saved the session `closed`. Three
same-run resumes failed with `PRP command turn.start failed: … ACPX
session is not open`, recovery stopped with
`native_session_retry_exhausted`, and a person had to click Retry.

**Expected behavior**
When a durable record proves the prompt never reached the provider, the
run resends it once by itself. When the record cannot prove it, the run
behaves as today.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. On master, run `cargo test --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml -p paperclip-runner-core
--test acpx_park_preparation cut_turn_start`.
2.
`a_start_cut_off_before_the_prompt_left_reopens_and_sends_the_prompt_once`
fails: the session is `closed` and the next start fails with `ACPX
session is not open`.

Refs #20507, #20645, #20674

## What Changed

- New file contract in
`protocol/provider-schemas/acpx-sidecar.schema.json`:
`turnDispatchJournalFile` (`paperclip-turn-dispatch.jsonl`) and
`turnDispatchJournalRecord` (`received` / `dispatched`). The generator
emits the file name and schema into TypeScript and Rust, so the pack
contract digest covers them.
- Sidecar (`turn-dispatch-journal.ts`, `codex-runtime-adapter.ts`,
`runtime-host.ts`, `acpx-runtime-sidecar.ts`): when the runtime port
starts a turn, before any provider work, it truncates the journal and
writes `received`. ACPX calls `onAcpMessage("outbound")` synchronously
before it writes a message to the provider. On the turn's first
`session/prompt` request the port appends `dispatched` and fsyncs it
there, so the record exists before the bytes leave. A failed dispatch
write aborts the prompt write. A failed `received` write removes the
file and runs the turn unjournaled.
- Runner (`acpx_turn_dispatch.rs`, `acpx_provider_backend.rs`): the
journal is read only after the provider lifetime fence proves that the
sidecar and provider are gone. A lone complete `received` record for the
turn proves the prompt never left.
- A start that failed in flight saves the session `prepared` with no
active turn and returns `ACPX turn start failed before its prompt
reached the provider`. The run's next `turn.start` reopens the
conversation and sends the prompt once. Until the proof settles, the
saved state stays `turn_starting`, so a Runner killed during the proof
goes through the restore check below.
- A Runner killed while the session was `turn_starting` restores the
session idle (`session.resumed`, no `turn.failed`). The same-run resume
then starts the turn once instead of sending a continuation that would
lose the prompt.
- A `dispatched` record, another turn's record, a torn or malformed
file, or no file keeps today's behavior (closed session, or lost-turn
recovery).
- Fake sidecar: writes the same journal and adds `hang-before-dispatch`
/ `hang-after-dispatch` faults.
- Docs: `packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md` ("ACPX turn
starts cut off before the prompt left"). The design note is
`doc/plans/2026-11-10-durable-turn-start-and-tool-call-records.md` (in
#20674).

## Verification

- Red on master, green here: `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --test
acpx_park_preparation cut_turn_start` (4 tests: cut before dispatch
reopens and sends once; cut after dispatch stays closed and never
resends; Runner killed before dispatch restores idle; Runner killed
after dispatch or with no journal reports the lost turn). The two
"before" cases fail on master.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core`: all pass. `cargo fmt --check`
clean.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/drivers/acpx/turn-dispatch-journal.test.ts
src/drivers/acpx/codex-runtime-adapter.test.ts`: 121 passed. One test
uses a real ACPX runtime and an ACP peer that refuses a prompt arriving
before its `dispatched` record; it fails if the hook is removed.
- `node scripts/generate-acpx-sidecar-contract.mjs --check`, `node
--test scripts/contracts/contract-fingerprints.test.mjs`, and `tsc -p
tsconfig.test.json` pass.
- Time to first token, measured with the same open/write/fsync sequence
on this Mac (APFS, load average ~11, 300 samples): `received` p50 0.24
ms, p95 0.59 ms; `dispatched` (with fsync) p50 4.7 ms, p95 11.5 ms.
Against a Claude TTFT budget of 9.5–16.5 s p50 this is under 0.1%. No
wait, round trip or file transfer is added. Recovery work (fence,
journal read) runs only after a failed start.
- Live restart-chaos wave and runner image: see the comments on this
pull request.

## Risks

- A false "not dispatched" proof would duplicate a prompt. It needs a
lone, complete `received` record for this exact turn ID, read after the
fence proves the sidecar is gone. `dispatched` is fsynced before the
prompt write, and a failed write aborts the send. A failed `received`
write removes the file, so it cannot leave a lone record.
- Upgrade safety: saved provider state gains no field (its decoder
denies unknown fields), and only lifecycles an older Runner already
handles are written. An older Runner ignores the journal file. State
saved by an older Runner has no journal, which reads as unknown and
keeps today's behavior. A new Runner with an older sidecar never sees a
`received` record, so no proof forms.
- The changed sidecar schema changes the pack contract digest, so
Daytona needs a new runner image. Older image packs are not reused.
- A failed start now waits for the provider lifetime fence (at most 5 s,
usually immediate) before it settles. This is only on a failure path.

DottaandClaude 06af074452 fix(native): deliver the retry after a failed native turn, once per chain (#20681)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The native runtime decides a task's next status after each run,
through the status arbiter and the status-decision committer
> - When a native turn fails without a classified provider error, the
arbiter keeps the task's status and asks for one retry
(`schedule_retry`)
> - The native-status wake dispatcher refused that retry wake, because
its provenance check accepted only `enqueue_continuation` effects
> - So the task stayed `in_progress` with no live run, no queued wake
and no visible cause, until a person noticed it
> - This pull request lets the dispatcher accept the committed retry
effect, keeps the retry on its chat route, and limits the automatic
continuation to one per chain
> - The benefit is that a failed turn always ends with either queued
work or a blocked task with a working Retry

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A native run that ends with a failed turn and no classified provider
error leaves its task stranded. Examples: an OpenCode server that the
sandbox killed with SIGKILL during a turn (`opencode_server_exited`), or
an OpenCode turn that ended without an answer
(`opencode_empty_response`). The run's accepted result is finalized as
`run_failed_partial_evidence_preserved`. The committer queues a
`schedule_retry` wake. The dispatcher then skips the wake with
`chat_control_recovery_proof_unresolved`. The task stays `in_progress`
with no run, no wake and no blocker.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a native task. Make the provider turn fail with
`opencode_server_exited` or `opencode_empty_response` and an accepted
`needs_review` result.
2. Finalize the run.
3. Run the native-status wake dispatcher.
4. See that the retry wake and its dispatch receipt are `skipped`, and
that no run starts.

**Expected behavior**
The task gets its automatic continuation. If that continuation fails the
same way, the task is blocked with a clear board blocker and a Retry
that starts a new run.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`origin/master` at c444da7d05.

**Additional context**
The task stays `in_progress` for hours with no owner. On a staging
deployment, two tasks stayed in this state for more than 7 and 11 hours.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/chat-control-recovery-stop.ts`: the native-parent
proof accepts the `schedule_retry` effect, as well as
`enqueue_continuation`, when the effect targets the wake intent. Other
effect kinds (for example `notify_owner`) are not changed. The other
checks (applied decision, delivered effect, same company, task and
agent) do not change.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/status-arbiter.ts`: new input
`failedTurnContinuationUsed`. When it is true, a failed run is decided
as `native_run_failed_continuation_exhausted`: the task is blocked with
a board blocker and no wake. New constants
`NATIVE_RUN_FAILED_RETRY_CAUSE` and
`NATIVE_RUN_FAILED_CONTINUATION_EXHAUSTED_ACTION`.
-
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-failed-turn-continuation.ts`
(new): `isFailedTurnContinuationRun` reads the run's dispatcher-set
`nativeStatusWakeIntentId` and proves from the intent row (company,
agent, task, committer actor, `retryCause`) that the run is the
automatic continuation of a failed turn. A copied or unknown id does not
count.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-run-finalizer.ts`: passes
`failedTurnContinuationUsed` to the arbiter for failed runs that the run
still owns; the committer rechecks that ownership under the issue lock
(`requireProviderFailureOwner`).
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-continuation-delivery.ts`:
the failed-turn retry keeps the failed run as its chat conversation
source, so its answer reaches the original chat.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: documents the retry wake, its provenance
and the one-continuation bound.
- New test `native-failed-turn-continuation.integration.test.ts`.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-failed-turn-continuation.integration.test.ts`
- RED on `origin/master` (c444da7d05): the dispatcher reports
`dispatched: 0` and the wake is skipped with
`chat_control_recovery_proof_unresolved`.
- GREEN with this change: for both `opencode_server_exited` and
`opencode_empty_response`, the dispatcher starts one continuation run.
When that continuation fails the same way, the task is blocked with the
board blocker, no new wake is queued, and the task Retry is accepted and
starts a new run. A copied wake id does not exhaust the continuation.
- Related suites pass: `status-arbiter.test.ts`,
`native-provider-failure.integration.test.ts`,
`heartbeat-dependency-scheduling.test.ts`,
`chat-control-admission-retry.test.ts`.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server` passes.
- `pnpm verify` selects broad verification (exit 2) because
`doc/execution-semantics.md` changed. Required CI supplies that
coverage.

## Risks

- Behavior change: a failed native turn now gets the automatic
continuation that the arbiter already requested. That continuation is a
new run of the same task, with the normal admission gates. It does not
replay the failed turn.
- The continuation is bounded to one per chain, so a deterministic
failure cannot make a wake loop.
- Tasks that are already stranded by the old behavior keep their skipped
wake. Their task Retry still works.
- Upgrade safety: an old pending `schedule_retry` intent is accepted by
the new dispatcher. A run that started before this change has no proven
intent, so it gets one continuation.

DottaandClaude 52160eba35 test(restart-chaos): K15 redeploy, F1 workspace symlink, and the staging failure census (#20679)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The restart-chaos harness (`tests/restart-chaos/`) restarts the
control plane while real agent tasks run. It grades whether every task
finishes without a human Retry.
> - The hosted staging stack deploys about every 40 minutes. In 48
hours, 276 runs failed and 63 tasks stayed blocked. About a quarter of
the failures came within 10 minutes of a deploy. The harness passed the
same areas.
> - A hosted deploy replaces the server container. The new server runs
in another process space and has a new deployment id. The PID-based "the
earlier owner exited" proofs never apply across that boundary. A harness
restart on one machine keeps the process space, so every PID proof
succeeds and the hosted recovery path is never tested.
> - This pull request adds K15, a redeploy fault. It also adds the
staging census that shows the gap.
> - The benefit: chaos waves can now exercise the recovery path that
staging runs after every deploy, on local and Daytona.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Many staging tasks that a deploy crossed ended blocked. Examples are
`native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch`,
`runner_remote_process_identity_unavailable`,
`prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate` and `PRP provider resume
state is unavailable`. The restart-chaos Daytona waves passed for the
same adapters.

**What did you expect?**
The chaos harness should reproduce the deploy conditions that staging
has, so that these failure classes show up in a wave first.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Compare the staging run records' `controllerProcess.hostHash` and
`deployment.deploymentId` across a deploy. Both change on every deploy.
2. Compare the same fields across a harness K2 restart. Both stay the
same.
3. Read `controllerProcessExited` and `sameProcessSpace` in
`server/src/services/controller-process-identity.ts`. A different
`hostHash` means that no PID proof applies.

**Additional context**
The full census, the failure classes and the per-class harness gaps are
in `doc/plans/2026-11-11-staging-failures-vs-chaos-coverage.md`. The
task identifiers in it are neutral labels.

## What Changed

- New fault `K15` (redeploy), in `tests/restart-chaos/redeploy.ts` and
`redeploy-preload.mjs`. A K15 wave gives every server an emulated host
name through a `--import` preload, which changes the process-space hash.
It also gives Railway-shaped deployment variables with the instance home
as the exclusive volume. A K15 stops the server with SIGTERM and starts
the next generation, with a new host name and deployment id.
- `supervisor.ts`, `main.ts`, `config.ts` and `types.ts`: select K15
with `--faults K15`. It works on `--env local` and `--env daytona`. The
receipt records `redeploy` and the timeline records `redeploy_switched`.
Config refuses K15 together with MS1–MS3.
- New opt-in workload `F1` (`workloads.ts`): the agent keeps an absolute
symlink in its repository workspace. A staging save-back refused such a
link and blocked the task. The oracle needs `done` and the saved notes
file, with no Retry. `f1-symlink.test.ts` covers the prompt, the grading
and the option planning.
- `redeploy.test.ts`: identity derivation, the environment, the argument
order, a real child process that proves the preload changes both CJS and
ESM `hostname()`, option parsing and plan detection.
- `tests/restart-chaos/README.md`: a K15 section and a row in the
"Pieces" table.
- `doc/plans/2026-11-11-staging-failures-vs-chaos-coverage.md`: the
48-hour staging census, 12 failure classes, the deploy timeline, the
reason the harness missed each class, and proposed scenarios.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/restart-chaos/vitest.config.ts
tests/restart-chaos/redeploy.test.ts
tests/restart-chaos/scheduler.test.ts
tests/restart-chaos/repeated-restarts.test.ts`: 68 tests pass. The full
restart-chaos unit suite passes: 43 files, 516 tests.
- `node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs tests/restart-chaos`:
passes.
- Live Daytona waves on 8f6ca25976, image
`paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:bc7ca92d…`:

  | Wave | Faults and cells | Result |
  | --- | --- | --- |
| `w-20261111T002313-s9301` | K15, opencode and claude, A1 and C1, reuse
lease, 6 tasks | 5 of 6 pass. t05 (OpenCode, C1) failed R5
`silent_dead_run`: 183 s without evidence after the redeploy, then
succeeded. |
  | `w-20261111T004241-s9301` | K2 control, same seed | 6 of 6 pass |
| `w-20261111T005008-s9302` | K15, warm sandbox, comment trigger, 4
tasks | 4 of 4 pass |
| `w-20261111T010000-s9303` | K15, opencode only, 8 tasks | 8 of 8 pass
|
  | `w-20261111T011044-s9303` | K2 control, same seed | 8 of 8 pass |
| `w-20261111T012523-s9304` | F1 with K2, codex and opencode, `--storage
s3` | 2 of 2 pass |

- Every K15 fault switched the generation, with a new host name and
deployment id on the same volume. The server was ready again in 14–24 s.
- K15 does not yet reproduce the staging refusal codes on current
master. The census document explains the open conditions, such as a code
change at the deploy.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change is in the test harness and docs only. No product
code changes.
- K15 is an emulation. It changes the host name only in the server
process (and forked Node children). It does not emulate a new kernel
boot or PID namespace. The cloud stop-proof service is not emulated, so
stop proofs that need it stay unsupported, as on a self-hosted Railway
deploy. The README lists these limits.

## Model Used

tool use (shell, file edit, GitHub CLI).

DottaandClaude 6e524d8a69 fix(workspaces): stop retrying a copy-back that hit a full sandbox disk (#20678)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - After a native run, Paperclip copies the agent's sandbox workspace
back to durable storage. This is finalization.
> - The copy-back builds an archive inside the sandbox. When the sandbox
disk is full, the copy-back fails with
`remote_workspace_sandbox_disk_full`.
> - Finalization treated that failure as transient. It retried three
times. Each attempt took about 15 minutes for a large workspace, and
nothing freed space between attempts.
> - Saved-work recovery already reclaims the retained sandbox's inactive
provider cache when a save hits a full disk. It runs only after
finalization ends.
> - This pull request ends finalization on the first full-disk copy-back
failure, with the accepted result kept, so saved-work recovery starts at
once.
> - The benefit is that the task gets its files saved sooner, and the
user sees what happened instead of "failed after 3 attempts".

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19619 (related: records why the read-only capture fallback failed;
this PR does not change that path)

**What happened?**
On staging, a native run finished its turn and its result was accepted.
The workspace copy-back then failed three times with
`remote_workspace_sandbox_disk_full` (about 7.5 GB of workspace, about 6
GB free). The three attempts spanned about one hour across deploys.
Finalization then ended as `native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted`.
Saved-work recovery reclaimed the inactive provider cache (about 3 GB
freed) and saved the files.

**Expected behavior**
A full sandbox disk is recognised on the first failure. Paperclip does
not spend the finalization budget on attempts that cannot succeed. The
agent's result is kept. The user sees that the disk is full and that
Paperclip saves the files again without another provider turn.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a native task on a remote sandbox whose workspace is larger than
the free sandbox space.
2. Let the provider turn finish.
3. Observe three copy-back attempts that each fail with
`remote_workspace_sandbox_disk_full`.

## What Changed

- `recordRetryableFailure` treats a workspace failure whose cause starts
with `remote_workspace_sandbox_disk_full:` as an exhausted budget on the
first attempt. The code stays
`native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted`, so the existing export
hold, saved-work recovery, and export Retry apply unchanged.
- The run error for that case says that the sandbox disk is full and
that Paperclip saves the files again without repeating the agent's work.
It no longer says "after 3 attempts".
- Other copy-back failures keep their bounded retry.
- `captureRemoteWorkspaceArchive` rethrows the read-only fallback's own
failure when that fallback only lost its connection (`transport_closed`,
`provider_unavailable`, `provider_rate_limited`,
`sandbox_state_transition`). That failure is not disk-full, so
finalization keeps its bounded retry for it. Other fallback failures
keep the disk-full code.
- `remoteWorkspaceFailureCause` records the server-built read-only
capture failure, so a failed save names where the fallback stopped.
- The transport exports `REMOTE_WORKSPACE_SANDBOX_DISK_FULL_CODE`. The
finalizer and tests use it.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the new rule.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-run-finalizer-telemetry.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspace-transport.test.ts` (195 pass).
- New test "hands a full sandbox disk to saved-work recovery on the
first copy-back failure" fails on `origin/master` (the failure stays
`retryable_failure`) and passes with this change. It completes an
accepted result first and checks that the result stays linked and that
no agent wakeup is created.
- New transport test "keeps a full disk only when the read-only fallback
did not just lose its connection": the two dropped-connection cases fail
on `origin/master` and pass with this change.
- New test "keeps other copy-back failures on their bounded retry"
passes before and after.
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit` passes. `pnpm verify` selected 2504
test files because the finalizer is widely imported; its first selected
batch passed, and required CI supplies the full run.

## Risks

- Low risk. The terminal state is the same state that three failed
attempts produce today. Only the timing changes.
- A sandbox whose disk frees space by itself between attempts now waits
for saved-work recovery instead of the next finalizer attempt.
Saved-work recovery repeats the save with its own bounded attempts, so
this does not lose work.
- Upgrade safety: a run saved by an older release in `retryable_failure`
with this cause ends on its next full-disk failure. No migration is
needed.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 4a61a2501e fix(storage): never promise a storage retry no storage wait owns (#20676)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A run that hits a file-storage outage gets a bounded storage wait: a
retry that starts again after storage is back
> - The run error says "Paperclip will retry automatically when storage
is back"
> - On staging, a server restart reattached a remote native runner while
its turn was still running. A storage outage then failed the
reattachment
> - Restart recovery kept the workspace under a no-replay hold, so the
run took the code `native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`. Only a
`storage_unavailable` run gets a storage wait, so no retry was
scheduled. The run still showed the storage retry promise, and the task
stayed blocked for about 15 hours
> - This pull request makes the storage text follow the run's final code
and the real storage wait outcome, and reads old rows truthfully
> - The benefit is that every storage message is true: it promises a
retry only when one is scheduled, and it offers a working Retry when
nothing retries the run

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A native run on a remote sandbox was reattached after a server restart.
Its provider turn was still in flight. File storage failed during the
reattachment. Restart recovery settled the run as
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`, kept its files, and did
not replay the unfinished turn (this is the existing policy for a turn
with an unknown outcome). The run error said "Paperclip will retry
automatically when storage is back". No storage wait was scheduled, so
nothing retried. The task stayed blocked until an operator clicked
Retry.

**Root cause**
`server/src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.ts` chose the message and
the error code separately. The message used
`isStorageUnavailableError(err)`. The code used a chain where
`nativeTerminalFailureCode` wins over `storage_unavailable`. The storage
wait is scheduled only when the code is `storage_unavailable` (and no
native terminal failure is recorded). So the message promised a wait
that the code made impossible. The same false promise stayed when the
storage wait was refused (`not_scheduled`) or its write failed.

**Expected behavior**
A storage failure promises an automatic retry only when the storage wait
is scheduled. Otherwise it offers Retry. Rows saved by earlier releases
read the same way after deploy, with no migration.

**Steps to reproduce**
Fail a native run with a storage-unavailable error after its native
coordinator is settled as `terminal_failure` /
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`. See the new regression in
`run-completion.test.ts`.

## What Changed

- `storage-unavailable.ts`: add the held messages (outage and rejected
credentials). They say Paperclip is not retrying automatically and offer
Retry or a message. Add `storageUnavailableHeldMessage()` and
`presentStorageFailureMessage()`.
- `run-completion.ts` (`failRun`): compute the error code first. Use the
storage retry promise only when the code is `storage_unavailable`. Under
any other code (for example a native recovery hold), use the held
message. No storage wait is created for such a run, because it could
only be refused.
- `run-completion.ts` (`failRun` and `failRunSetup`): replace
`markStorageWaitExhausted` with `settleStorageWaitMessage`. It keeps the
promise only when a retry is scheduled. It writes the exhausted text
when the budget is spent, and the held text when the wait was refused,
its write failed, or a case handoff took over.
- `run-completion.ts`: when the promise is withdrawn, the failure's
`error` event (written before the retry decision) gets the same final
text, so the transcript does not keep the promise after reload.
- `run-completion.ts` (`failRunSetup`): a lost controller lease keeps
its own code and text, not the storage promise.
- `run-lifecycle.ts`: `decorateHeartbeatRunRuntimeStatus` presents a
saved storage retry promise under a code other than
`storage_unavailable` with the held text. This covers run detail and
issue run presence. `listRuns` in `run-state.ts` applies the same
projection, so the company run list and the Inbox failure read agree.
Rows from earlier releases read truthfully with no migration.
- `doc/run-log-events.md`: document which runs get a storage wait and
what each message means.

Previous-release story (upgrade-safe run state): this change adds no
persisted shape. Rows saved by the previous release carry forward. A row
with the storage promise under another code reads with the held text. A
`storage_unavailable` row keeps its text. The native hold policy is
unchanged: an unfinished turn with an unknown outcome is not replayed
automatically, and the existing Retry continues it.

## Verification

- Red before the fix (assertion failures, not setup errors): the new
`run-completion.test.ts` cases received "Paperclip will retry
automatically when storage is back" under
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`, and the
`run-lifecycle.test.ts` cases read the saved promise unchanged.
- Green after the fix:
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/run-lifecycle.test.ts -t storage` (13 passed)
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/run-lifecycle.test.ts
src/storage/storage-unavailable.test.ts` (213 passed)
  - `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json` (clean)
- Existing storage cases still pass: a scheduled storage wait keeps its
promise and suppresses rapid recovery; an exhausted wait writes the
exhausted text.
- `pnpm verify` exited 2 (a doc is a global CI input), so required CI
supplies the broad coverage.
- The full `run-completion.test.ts` file passed every test locally. Its
`afterAll` hook timed out under machine load (load average about 17),
also with the new tests skipped.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change affects only the text of failed runs and one read
projection. It does not change retry scheduling, recovery ownership, or
replay policy.
- The read projection matches this repository's own two promise
constants under a code other than `storage_unavailable`. A future change
to those constants must keep the projection in sync.
- Error events already written by earlier releases keep their original
text in the run log. Live events already published before a withdrawn
promise are not resent.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits, browser reads for GET-only diagnostics).

DottaandClaude e33ede9a8a fix(native): settle a restart-orphaned write_document from its transactional receipt (#20674)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run calls Paperclip tools such as `write_document`. The
runner saves each tool input durably before the server runs the tool,
and the server saves a result receipt
> - A control-plane restart can cut a `write_document` call after the
runner saved its input and before any result was saved
> - Recovery then has no proof of the outcome. A call from an earlier
server process settles as "unknown outcome" (#20628). A call the current
server process admitted stays pending, close cannot prove that the
provider drained, and the session quarantines
(`native_session_cleanup_quarantined`). A person must click Retry
> - `write_document` saves its revision and its idempotency receipt in
one database transaction, under the run and issue row locks. The
revision is also compare-and-swap on `baseRevisionId`. So the receipt is
a durable outcome record: present means applied, absent means not
applied
> - This pull request makes recovery use that proof. Recovery runs the
same receipt-guarded write. It replays the saved result, or it applies
the write exactly once
> - The benefit is that an orphaned `write_document` settles with its
real result. The document is never written twice, and the run does not
need Retry for this call

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Daytona restart-chaos wave `w-20261110T174930-s9205`, task t01 (codex,
workload C1, fault RR2). A restart cut a `write_document` call. The
close settlement showed `semanticTools.pending: [{ operationId:
"write_document", callId: "exec-8b79ab78-…" }]` and `providerDrained:
false`. The session quarantined with
`native_session_cleanup_quarantined`, and the task needed Retry. Since
#20628, a call that an earlier server process admitted settles as
`tool_call_interrupted_by_restart` with an unknown outcome. The agent
then has to guess whether the write applied.

**Expected behavior**
When a durable record proves the outcome, recovery uses it. A write that
applied returns its saved result. A write that did not apply runs once.
When the record cannot prove it, the call stays as it is today.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. On master, run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/paperclip-runner-tool-authority.test.ts -t
"orphaned"`.
2. `authority.recover()` returns `null` for a `write_document` that has
no receipt, so the call stays unsettled.

Refs #20628, #20639, #20507

## What Changed

- `PaperclipRunnerToolAuthority.recover()` now settles `write_document`
through its transactional receipt (`#recoverTransactionalWrite`). It
runs the same receipt-guarded mutation as an ordinary call. If the
receipt exists, it returns the saved result and writes nothing. If no
receipt exists, it applies the write once.
- A definite refusal that rolls the transaction back (a 4xx such as a
stale `baseRevisionId`, a reused idempotency key, invalid input) settles
as a tool error. Any other failure leaves the call unsettled, as before.
- The set of operations with this proof is explicit:
`TRANSACTIONAL_RECEIPT_OPERATIONS` contains only `write_document`. Other
tools keep their current recovery rules.
- New test: an orphaned `write_document` with no receipt applies once; a
second recovery and a late original call replay the receipt; an applied
write recovers its saved result; a stale base settles as a tool error
with no change.
- Updated test: a reused idempotency key with other input now settles as
an `paperclip_runner_tool_idempotency_conflict` tool error instead of
staying pending. The receipt proves that this call can never apply under
that key.
- Docs: `packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md` (semantic
operations that outlive a turn) and a new design note,
`doc/plans/2026-11-10-durable-turn-start-and-tool-call-records.md`. The
note also covers the second change (an ACPX turn start cut off before
the prompt reached the provider), which comes in a separate pull
request.

## Verification

- Red on master, green here: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec
vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/paperclip-runner-tool-authority.test.ts` (43
passed).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`:
178 passed. One unrelated ACPX timing test failed once under load and
passed when run alone.
- Server typecheck: `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` passes.
- `pnpm verify` exits 2 (a runner doc changed), so required CI supplies
the broad coverage.
- Live restart-chaos wave: see the comment on this pull request.

## Risks

- Recovery can now apply a write that never applied before the restart.
This is the call the agent made, applied once. The write is
compare-and-swap on `baseRevisionId`, so it cannot overwrite a revision
that someone wrote after the agent read the document. That case settles
as a conflict error.
- Upgrade safety: no saved shape changes. Receipts saved by the previous
release have the same shape. A server on the previous release keeps its
current recovery for these calls.
- Time to first token: no change. This code runs only during recovery.
- No runner source changes, so no new runner image is needed.

file editing) in Claude Code. Extended reasoning was used.

DottaandClaude cec903c6f0 fix(native): retire a finished remote owner whose gone Runner left a delivery unacknowledged (#20677)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native follow-up run on a remote sandbox first proves that the
previous per-turn owner finished. Then it retires that owner's
controller journal and starts a new Runner.
> - The proof requires a settled journal. A command that the Runner did
not acknowledge holds the owner.
> - On staging, a per-turn owner committed its result and its Daytona
sandbox was destroyed after the turn
(`paperclip_runner_destroy_after_turn`, cleanup `success`). Its journal
still held a `run.attach` or a `semantic_tool.result` that the Runner
never acknowledged.
> - The next run failed with `prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate;
retirement_refused=journal_commands_unsettled(run.attach.pending)` (or
`semantic_tool.result.pending`). A Retry or a new message gets the same
journal, so it fails the same way. The task stays blocked.
> - Retirement already excuses the Runner's own lifecycle commands when
the prior sandbox lease ended on another sandbox. This pull request
applies the same rule to deliveries that only that gone Runner could
receive.
> - The benefit is that these follow-ups start by themselves. Commands
that carry user intent still hold the owner.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A census of staging failures (48 h, Nov 9–10) found 6 failed runs with
`prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate` and
`retirement_refused=journal_commands_unsettled(run.attach.pending |
semantic_tool.result.pending)`. The last one was at 18:56 UTC on Nov 10.
In two examples that I checked:
- The previous run succeeded. Its result was committed and its
coordinator lease was released.
- Its lease policy was `ephemeral`. The lease is `expired`, with
`failureReason=paperclip_runner_destroy_after_turn` and
`cleanupStatus=success`.
- The follow-up got a new sandbox (a different provider lease) and
refused in about 11 s. It started no Runner. The task became `blocked`,
and the next action was "Send a message to continue".

**Expected behavior**
When the record proves that the previous Runner is gone, an undelivered
attachment, tool answer or read cannot run. The follow-up retires the
finished owner and starts a new Runner. Retirement replays no command.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Finish a per-turn remote native run whose controller journal keeps a
`run.attach` or `semantic_tool.result` command in `pending`.
2. Let the sandbox lease of that run end (`expired` or `released`) on
its own sandbox.
3. Start a follow-up run that gets a new sandbox.
4. Observe
`retirement_refused=journal_commands_unsettled(run.attach.pending)`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Staging builds of Nov 10. The refusal still reproduces on `master` at
`48c6e996da` (the new tests fail there).

## What Changed

- `native-session-executor.ts` (`readSettledRunnerdProjection`): when
the prior run's sandbox leases ended on another sandbox
(`remoteRunnerGone`, the existing proof), unfinished `run.attach`,
`semantic_tool.result`, `session.snapshot` and `session.goal.get`
commands no longer hold the retirement. These join the lifecycle
commands that the rule already excused.
- In the same case, a journaled `semantic_tool.result` answers its
`semantic_tool.input`. The controller journals the answer after the tool
ran. Only its delivery was outstanding.
- No other proof changes. The prior run must still be terminal, with a
committed result, a released coordinator lease, no recovery state, a
stopped or fenced controller, a delivered `run.terminal`, and no live
work after it. Quarantine copies must pass the same checks.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describe the rule.

## Verification

-
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`
(real Postgres):
- New: "retires a finished remote owner with an unacknowledged
pending-attach / pending-tool-result when its sandbox lease ended on
another sandbox". It fails on `master` with the exact staging errors
`journal_commands_unsettled(run.attach.pending)` and
`journal_commands_unsettled(semantic_tool.result.pending)`. It passes
with this change, and the log shows the retirement.
- Held cases stay held: a lease that is still retained, a lease on this
run's sandbox, no lease record, and a tool input with no journaled
answer (`journal_tool_input_unanswered`).
- New: "keeps a stopped local owner held by an unacknowledged
run.attach". A local Runner is not gone by record.
  - Whole file: 95 passed.
- Neighbouring suites pass: `explicit-native-continuation.test.ts` and
`native-controller-recovery.integration.test.ts` (460 tests).
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` passes.
- `pnpm verify` exits 2: a global CI input changed
(`doc/execution-semantics.md`). Required CI supplies the broad coverage.
- Live proof: not done. The redeploy chaos scenario (K15) is not on
`master` yet. Tests only.

## Risks

- The rule applies only when every sandbox lease of the prior run is
`released` or `expired`, has a release time, and names a different
provider lease than this run's. A reusable sandbox that this run resumed
keeps the existing hold.
- A command that carries user intent (`turn.start`, `turn.steer`,
`request.resolve`, `interaction.receipt`, `external_provider.operation`,
`session.goal.set`/`clear`, `session.close`, `run.cancel` and others)
still holds the owner.
- Retirement archives the old journal under `continuity-breaks` and
replays nothing, as before.
- No persisted shape changes. Old saved journals are read by the same
rule.

DottaandClaude c14f2fe45d fix(native): read the scheduled-resume evidence the resume reconciler claimed (#20656)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - #20645 lets a local same-run scheduled resume send the one
same-conversation continuation for a turn lost on restore. It applies
only when durable records prove three facts: the previous runner
stopped, the attempt was admitted within the budget, and it is the same
checkpointed conversation.
> - It read the third proof from the coordinator's saved
`failure_detail` while the phase was `retryable_failure`.
> - In production, the resume reconciler
(`claimNativeSessionResumptions`) claims the run first. It moves the
coordinator to `observed` and clears `failure_detail`. So the executor
never saw that evidence, and #20645 refused every real scheduled resume.
> - The restart-chaos L7 wave showed this live. Codex B5 TM2 hit the
exact path (`runner.drain` timeout, scheduled resume,
`provider_turn_lost_on_restore`), sent no continuation, and needed
Retry.
> - This pull request makes the reconciler record that evidence durably
when it claims the run, and makes the executor read it from there.
> - The benefit is that #20645 works on the real path. The proof rule is
unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20645

**What happened?**
Wave `w-20261110T212307-s9107` (L7, seed 9107, local, master plus
#20645), task codex B5 TM2:
- `native_session_recovery_failed: runner_local_connect_failed: PRP
command runner.drain timed out`;
- `retryable_failure` with `recoveryMode: "exact_checkpoint_resume"`,
`recoverable`, `providerSessionEstablished` and `checkpointExists` all
set;
- `native.local_process_stopped`;
- attempt 2 started;
- `turn.failed` with `provider_turn_lost_on_restore` for the same turn
ID that the checkpoint was running.

No continuation was sent. The run failed with
`native_provider_terminal_failed` and was preserved with
`uncertain_provider_action`.

**Expected behavior**
The proven scheduled resume sends the single continuation.

**Steps to reproduce**
The new integration test below. The live path is timing-dependent (the
L7 command in #20645).

## What Changed

- `native-finalization-reconciler.ts`: when it claims a same-run resume,
the reconciler appends one `same_run_resume` entry to
`recovery_history`. The append is bounded like other history writes, and
it runs in the same update that clears the failure. The entry copies
`recoveryMode`, `recoverable`, `providerSessionEstablished`,
`checkpointExists`, `successorRunId` and `replacementDenied` from the
saved failure, with the controller boot and provider attempt.
- `scheduled-resume-continuation.ts`: the evidence for the third proof
now comes from either of two durable records:
- the saved failure, when the executor claims a `retryable_failure`
coordinator directly (unchanged); or
- a reconciler claim: an `observed` coordinator whose last history entry
is a `same_run_resume` entry naming the executor's own controller boot.
The two other proofs are unchanged: the stop receipt, and an admitted
attempt from 1 to 3.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: passes the coordinator's last history
entry and the controller boot to the decision.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describes the recorded evidence.

Readers of `recovery_history` that look at the last entry do so only for
restart claims, Stop recovery and shutdown suspension. Restart
recovery's previous-claim lookup skips non-claim dispositions, so a
`same_run_resume` entry does not change those paths.

**Still refused** (tested):
- every #20645 case;
- the last history entry is not the resume claim, or there is no
history;
- the resume claim was recorded by another boot;
- the claimed evidence is a bootstrap retry, has no checkpoint, or
records a replacement;
- a reconciler-claimed resume without a stop receipt.

## Verification

- `native-scheduled-resume-continuation.integration.test.ts` now also
runs through the real reconciler claim (`claimNativeSessionResumptions`)
before `executePaperclipNativeSession`. On master the reconciler-claimed
allowed case fails (`resumeInterruptedTurn` is false). With this change
it is true, and the claim admits attempt 2. A reconciler-claimed resume
without a stop receipt still passes false.
- `scheduled-resume-continuation.test.ts`: decision cases for the
reconciler-claim entry.
- `native-session-resumption.test.ts` passes. 54 tests pass across the
three files.
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit` passes.
- Live: not yet. The failing wave above is the reproduction. A rerun is
timing-dependent.

## Risks

- One more `recovery_history` entry per scheduled resume, inside the
existing 20-entry bound.
- The proof rule itself is unchanged. This only reads the same evidence
from the record where it now survives.
- No schema change. A run claimed by an earlier build has no
`same_run_resume` entry, so it keeps the existing failure: refused, with
Retry offered as today.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 48c6e996da fix(native): continue a task whose quarantined completed turn's holds settle (#20662)
<!-- Write all pull request text in Simplified Technical English
(ASD-STE100): short sentences, one instruction per sentence, simple
approved vocabulary, and the active voice. -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Before a remote run starts, workspace preparation attaches the
verified saved work of earlier runs of the same task.
> - Preparation failed with `remote_workspace_recovery_receipt_invalid`
when any earlier run had a recovery receipt that it could not verify.
> - A refusal cannot change the saved state, so every Retry failed in
the same way, and the task stayed blocked. Recoveries must fall back
automatically.
> - This pull request skips an unverifiable source. It attaches nothing
unverified and starts from the workspace's newest verified save.
> - The benefit is that Retry and continuations start again, while
strict receipt checks still decide what is attached, and no saved work
is changed.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20631

**What happened?**
On staging, after the deploy that included #20631, a user pressed Retry
on a task whose previous run failed with
`native_controller_recovery_missing_evidence:runner_not_settled`. The
new run failed in setup in under a minute with `setup_failed` /
`remote_workspace_recovery_receipt_invalid` (`executionRecovery:
bootstrap`, `providerWorkStarted: false`). The task stayed blocked.
Another Retry would fail the same way. #20631 accepted one shape of this
refusal (a source that saved only the snapshot its own restore loaded).
This task had a different shape.

**Expected behavior**
A Retry starts. A source whose receipt cannot be verified is not
attached, and its saved state stays intact for workspace recovery.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Let a remote native run fail before provider work and leave a
recovery receipt or restore hold that does not verify (for example a
receipt on an unsaved reference, a receipt from another epoch, or a
saved reference without a receipt).
2. Press Retry on the task.
3. See the new run fail in setup with
`remote_workspace_recovery_receipt_invalid`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Staging deploy that includes `e3bc4ca798`. The gap remains on `master`
at `a3b34a9d88`.

## What Changed

- `attachPreservedRemoteWorkspaceSnapshots` no longer throws for an
unverifiable source. Each of the five refusal shapes now skips the
source and logs `remote_workspace_recovery_receipt_invalid` with a
reason: `receipt_without_reference`, `reference_unreadable`,
`receipt_on_unsaved_reference`, `receipt_unverified`, and
`receipt_snapshot_missing` (was
`remote_workspace_recovery_snapshot_missing`).
- `retainRemoteRecoveryAttachments` no longer throws for a retained
recovered copy that it cannot verify. It does not publish that copy
again. The files stay in the workspace.
- The writer check (`remote_workspace_recovery_writer_changed`), the
workspace access check, and snapshot read and digest failures still
refuse.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the fallback rule.

## Verification

- Red on unfixed code:
`remote-workspace-recovery-receipt-fallback.test.ts` (moved out of
`workspace-recovery-preparation.test.ts` to keep that file under 1,000
lines) "starts a Retry from the newest verified save when a predecessor
has %s" (6 shapes: `receipt_without_reference`,
`unreadable_reference_with_hold`, `receipt_on_prepared_reference`,
`superseded_snapshot_with_hold`, `receipt_from_other_epoch`,
`receipt_for_other_run`). All 6 failed with
`remote_workspace_recovery_receipt_invalid`. The source is a native run
that failed with `runner_not_settled`, and the writer is a Retry
(`retryOfRunId`, `taskRetryRequestId`) that follows the real ancestry
query.
- Green: the same 6 tests pass. They also assert that nothing is
attached, and that the source run row, its workspace operations, and its
snapshot row are unchanged.
- Updated safety tests: the canonical-attachment fault matrix now
expects no attachment for receipt faults, and still expects a refusal
for a missing or corrupt archive and for a wrong company or task. The
retained-history test expects an unverifiable retained copy to be left
out of the published list, while verified copies stay published.
- `npx vitest run
src/services/remote-workspace-recovery-receipt-fallback.test.ts
src/services/workspace-recovery-preparation.test.ts`: 91 passed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` passes.
- `pnpm verify` returns exit 2, because a global doc input changed
(`doc/execution-semantics.md`). Required CI supplies the broad coverage.
- Not verified live on Daytona. I could not read the staging rows for
this task: the browser had no free tab. The tests cover every refusal
shape of this function, so the exact staging shape is one of them.

## Risks

- Previous-release state: the rule reads the same rows as before (run
reference, result hold, workspace operations, recovery actions,
snapshots). Rows that earlier releases saved carry forward. No
migration. A blocked task recovers on its next Retry or wake.
- A Retry can now start without files from an unverifiable source. Those
files are not lost: the source's snapshot, restore hold, receipts and
recovery action stay unchanged, and workspace recovery still owns them.
The skip is logged with a named reason.
- A retained copy that fails verification is dropped from the published
list. Its directory stays in the workspace and is no longer retired
automatically.
- A missing or corrupt snapshot archive still refuses. A permanently
lost archive therefore still blocks attach. This PR does not change
that.

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

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits). Extended reasoning enabled.
