c2cc69d1e4 fix(recovery): resume and settle preserved native results (#19034)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native execution can save an accepted result before workspace export
fails.
> - Recover must preserve the files and settle that same result without
another agent turn.
> - The export failure can own the task's Blocked transition and its
recovery notice.
> - Recovery must prove preservation, stop, source identity and current
authority before settlement.
> - Recover can also transfer repair ownership to the system, which must
keep explicit board export repair available.
> - This change restores those paths while preserving later task state,
live owners and unknown action outcomes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related #17916 protects unfinished exports. Related #19004 preserves
deliberate Retry authority. This change repairs accepted-result
finalization and its recovery notice.

**What happened?**

A native run accepted its result, then exhausted workspace export.
Normal Recover could save the files but leave the result and old
recovery notice unsettled. A saved Retry could also use a different
generation from preservation. Separately, Recover changed the action
owner from board to system. Explicit export Retry then rejected that
same source as stale, even when its accepted result and stopped
allocation still matched.

**Expected behavior**

Preserve files, finish the original accepted result and close only its
obsolete notice after exact proof. Keep explicit board export repair
available after system adoption. Preserve current authority, Stop, later
task changes, newer execution and every physical ownership fence.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Accept a native result and exhaust its workspace export.
2. Request ordinary Recover, optionally with an existing saved Retry.
3. Let file preservation complete. Inspect the task and source recovery
notice.
4. To reproduce the explicit-repair defect, call export Retry after
Recover adopts the action. Before this repair it rejects the valid
system-owned source before any provider call.

## What Changed

- Record the exact accepted result, contract, task status version and
prior decision when export exhaustion creates Blocked.
- Bind passive finalization to complete, source-bound preservation and
the current chat/review authority. Recheck the proof under status commit
locks.
- Keep the saved Retry identity separate from its preservation
generation. Retain coalescing and reject malformed or mismatched
history.
- Preserve an existing published GitHub assessment for the
no-publication status-unproven wait. Keep all semantic, result,
authority and publication checks.
- Close an old export notice only after its own accepted result, export
or preservation receipts, effects, projection and old Runner ownership
settle. Keep newer work and files unchanged.
- Permit explicit board export Retry after Recover transfers the exact
source to the system. Require valid system and workspace recovery
records for that same run, plus every existing result, stop, allocation,
task and shared physical-lock check. Reject missing proof, another
source and agent ownership before provider access.
- Merge current master while retaining the stronger Stop, source and
verified preservation checks.
- Update the execution contract. No schema, endpoint, Runner protocol,
model, trust or provider artifact change.

## Verification

- Current head: `9be5a73489801095c9f39c9bfcb285a22b055912`.
- The explicit-repair regression fails before the new guard change:
ordinary Recover adopts the real database action, then export Retry
rejects it as stale. It passes after the repair.
- On the merged source, three owning PostgreSQL/file suites pass **220
tests**: `preserved-native-response-wait.integration.test.ts`,
`native-workspace-export-retry.test.ts` and
`idle-completed-history.test.ts`. The export suite includes four
unrelated-owner/source rejection controls and both board-owned and
system-adopted active-exporter controls. Results and run counts prove
that repair creates no provider turn.
- Server layered typecheck, module boundaries, `git diff --check`, and
the added-line secret/private-incident scan pass.
- Full workspace typecheck (`pnpm -r typecheck`) and build (`pnpm
build`) pass. The complete local `pnpm test:run` is still running; its
completed serialized chat partitions pass. Current-head CI is green (53
successful checks, 3 expected skips). Greptile reviewed
`9be5a73489801095c9f39c9bfcb285a22b055912` at 2026-11-05 00:58 UTC with
confidence **5/5**; all review threads are resolved.
- Original qualification remains supporting evidence: the
accepted-result fixture exercises HTTP Recover, real files, the
finalizer, saved Retry coalescing, eight commit races, current
principal/resource/head changes, Stop, later task changes, notice
closure and repeated delivery. No accepted response, provider turn or
publication is replayed.
- Earlier failures remain recorded. Original red controls exposed
wrong-action preservation, unrelated finalization barriers, generation
mismatch and a lost GitHub assessment; the original repair added
controls for them. The prior CI run
[41908572248](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41908572248)
failed an unchanged completed-history runtime fixture because its
loopback service refused connections through the original ten-second
readiness window. That owning suite passes unchanged in the 220-case run
above. The earlier readiness failure's cause remains unproven; no wait
or assertion was weakened.
- Local and CI tests do not establish hosted task recovery. The serving
revision and original-task outcomes require separate verification after
rollout.

## Risks

- Historical failures without the exact export-owned Blocked receipt
keep their current task status. A saved result does not grant execution
or publication authority.
- Explicit export repair still resumes only the same retained allocation
under the shared physical lock. It cannot take over an active exporter,
create another agent turn, choose a replacement sandbox or discard saved
files.
- Retiring a source notice does not release physical resources or modify
a newer task owner, later Done state or saved snapshot history.
- The proof adds bounded reads only for concrete recovery obligations.
It adds no recurring worker or polling timer.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex for the original repair. OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol
(`gpt-6.1-sol`), xhigh reasoning, for the merge, integration
verification and system-adopted export repair. Both used repository
tools, code execution and PostgreSQL tests. The runtime does not expose
a context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 4e715eb7ea fix(server): schedule historical unsafe export recovery (#17687)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs can retain accepted results after an unsafe workspace
export fails.
> - Historical recovery can retire an old notice or resume the accepted
result without another provider turn.
> - The periodic reaper repeatedly scans failures that cannot currently
recover.
> - Existing rows and committed changes can identify the actual recovery
obligation.
> - This pull request wakes recovery from those changes and retries only
owed work.
> - Dormant history becomes quiet while ownership and explicit operator
decisions remain protected.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The native finalization reaper repeatedly visits historical unsafe
workspace-export failures. Cancelled tasks, newer runs, changed
contracts, and explicit operator decisions can make those rows
permanently ineligible. They still produce periodic database reads.

**What did you expect?**

Retire stale unsafe-export notices and recover eligible accepted
results. Stop reading dormant history until a relevant committed change
occurs. Keep a retry while a real obligation is blocked by ownership or
a transient failure.

**Steps to reproduce**

Retain an unsafe-export terminal failure whose task is cancelled or
superseded. Leave the instance idle after startup. The periodic reaper
continues reading that history.

Prerequisite #17680 is merged into master. Related: #14402 established
safe export finalization; #14329 was an earlier historical recovery
proposal. #17679 owns separate policy-review cleanup. This PR changes
only historical unsafe-export scheduling and its producers.

## What Changed

- Register a scoped worker through the existing coordinator and
scheduler. Remove this duty from periodic reaping. Preserve the
manual/startup recovery entry point.
- Distinguish stale notices, eligible accepted results, dormant history,
and concrete ownership contention. Reuse the existing mutation owner and
lock order. Preserve explicit settlement vetoes and exact
result/contract identity.
- Signal relevant task, run, action, and deletion writes before they
commit. Existing transaction boundaries handle nested commits and
uncertain outcomes. Notifications contain only scope IDs.
- Retain a retry only for owed work. Reconstruct work at startup,
preserve drain/resume, and stop through the shared lifecycle.
- Add concurrent, idempotent partial index migration 0410 for unsafe
terminal failures. Keep the five newest generated schema snapshots.
- Document producer coverage, query plans, supported writer boundaries,
and test failures in the unsafe-export audit.

## Verification

- Source `2a13dd08a6cc52f0adab09e3df9ce31e97b746b9` passes all 2188
cases across 24 complete files, without skips. The main selection passes
2129 cases in 192.58 seconds; safe-replacement passes 59 in 26.04
seconds. Coverage includes all 968 native-session cases, real
export/action producers, explicit continuation, workspace
reconstruction, interaction routing, Stop, queue and Slack consumers.
The audit gives per-file counts.
- Twenty separate fresh PostgreSQL 17 databases migrate through 0410
before setup. Four embedded-only fixture imports temporarily use their
own external database on this IPC-exhausted host, then are restored byte
for byte. Assertions and timing limits stay unchanged. This is qualified
external-database acceptance, not an unmodified embedded CI run.
- Database build, server typecheck/build, module boundaries and
exact-head migration order pass. Normal integration preserves the
complete original runtime/schema patch and unrelated upstream blobs.
Original concurrent index SQL, all prior executable history, journal
entries and retained snapshot bytes are unchanged; five snapshots 0406
through 0410 remain. Added comment removal preserves the full
non-comment TypeScript token streams.
- A populated 0409-to0410 upgrade preserves all 408 prior migration
receipts and 38 companies. It appends exactly one receipt; replay adds
none. The index is valid and ready on fresh and upgraded databases.
- The owning audit retains earlier fixture failures, skipped checks and
notice-retirement regression history. Older combined stack checks retain
their original scope in their owning audits. Actual parent
`73d24aa5acfcf17b3f676b4da7cd05eb70b60b99` is reconciled through a
normal merge. Its tree equals the reviewed ancestor and the complete
accepted child tree is unchanged. Fresh published-head CI and Greptile
5/5 remain required. No deployed sleep, fleet-cost or live provider
qualification claim is made.

- Inherited prefix correction: current integration
`8f43c9f81fac23b50997e7f0e1d0d9cf383a8109` changes only two values in a
previously unselected corpus fixture. All production code, the complete
package tree and all 24 accepted test files remain byte-identical to the
2188-case source above. The additional complete 72-case corpus passes in
14.00 seconds and again on the same database in 13.08 seconds. Retained
PSC/OUT and sentinel rows remain unchanged. The repeat is not
double-counted. The parent audit retains the original collision and
rejected cleanup attempt.

- Latest parent context: integration
`4d51231abe8b68c21ce896d0d2ac16865978c8ab` carries only the parent's
one-argument GitHub observation correction and an independent master
cleanup assertion. All production code, packages, 24 accepted suite
files and the additional corpus are unchanged. The two focused
native-presentation cases pass in 15.14 seconds and the complete
cleanup-removal suite passes all six cases in 8.31 seconds on two fresh
0410 PostgreSQL fixtures. This does not claim the full parent workflow
was rerun here.

Current head `b28399babac72ba9db1c4a4ef882c5e87aded38c` has passing CI
and Greptile 5/5 with no actionable findings. The first CI attempt lost
runners: fourteen jobs explicitly received simultaneous shutdown
signals, two reported lost runner communication, and two aggregate gates
failed downstream. One failed-job retry on unchanged source passes. The
underlying host shutdown cause remains unconfirmed; no code fix or extra
retry is claimed. [CI run and
attempts](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40819408528).
No Ponytail verdict is present.

## Risks

- A missing future producer can delay dormant-history discovery until
restart. The audit names current producers. Independent SQL writers and
other server processes remain outside the process-local signal contract.
- Physical ownership and uncertain operations retain retries. Time alone
does not authorize taking workspace ownership. No provider turn or
unsafe archive retry is added.
- The recovery owner remains authoritative if state changes after
discovery. Terminal UI status does not authorize resource destruction or
accepted-result replay.
- The partial index adds matching-row write/storage cost. It builds
concurrently through the existing restart-safe migration runner.
- This proves the changed worker becomes quiet. It does not prove host
suspension, external wake coverage, or fleet cost savings. Other sleep
migrations remain. This slice still requires fresh current-head CI and
reviews.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 14795136f5 fix(runtime): finalize and recover sandbox workspace exports safely (#14402)
Serialize native workspace finalization, validate streamed archives within bounded limits, and quietly recover unsafe exports from saved results. Preserve exact allocations for exhausted transient failures and provide export-only retry without rerunning the provider.

Consolidates #14314, #14315, #14329, and #14334 while preserving the already-merged finalization label changes.
