DottaandPaperclip 1d348bbef0 fix(server): restore durable agent folders with bounded concurrency (#18531)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A replacement web server restores agent files from shared storage.
> - The old restore reads each object in sequence.
> - Modest network latency makes a 1,024-file folder exceed its
deadline.
> - This pull request uses at most eight concurrent restore streams.
> - Every file must pass its size and hash checks before the folder is
published.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18518 and #18526. Local deployment qualification found that a 64
MiB folder could not be restored after the old server filesystem was
removed.

## What Changed

- Restore at most eight files concurrently within the existing file
authority service.
- Cancel sibling transfers on failure. Await all workers before removing
the temporary folder.
- Keep the existing deadline, file-transfer database pool, authorization
and publication rules.
- Add regression coverage for bounded concurrency, corruption, settled
cancellation, retained previous bytes and retry.
- Document the behavior and update the deployment plan with local
qualification evidence.

## Verification

- Real PostgreSQL and S3-compatible storage: 1,024 files of 64 KiB each,
plus instructions, with 25 ms added to each object GET. Delete the
entire predecessor home and disable local adoption before reading
through the successor.
- Before: the read failed after 30.065 seconds. After: the same case
passed in 4.180 seconds and fetched 1,025 objects. All owned test
resources were cleaned.
- The durable-file suite passed eight tests against PostgreSQL. Server
TypeScript compilation passed. All 56 latest-head CI checks are complete
and green or intentionally skipped, including full typecheck, build,
unit and browser suites. Greptile is 5/5 with no review findings or open
threads.
- The plan separately records a released-container overlap proof: 130
reads, 26 saves, zero failures, two deleted predecessor containers and a
retained authenticated session. That image predates this restore change.

## Risks

- A cold folder can use eight simultaneous streams instead of one. Two
file-transfer database connections bound the simultaneous restore
callers. Streams verify bytes without loading entire objects into
memory.
- The 30-second deadline is unchanged. The measured size and latency do
not qualify every folder at the maximum storage limits.
- No schema, API or UI changes. Paid-model and hosted deployment
acceptance remain separate work.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. Tool use, code execution and repository review. The
runtime does not expose a more specific model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip d941ed3879 feat(server): verify existing-volume ephemeral enrollment (#18529)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Cloud web servers can now keep durable state in PostgreSQL and S3.
> - Existing servers still have files and a decision signing key on
their volume.
> - The volume must stay attached until every data owner verifies its
migration.
> - This pull request adds a dedicated maintenance process for that
transition.
> - Cloud can preserve the original key and remove the volume only after
a matching receipt.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18518 and #18526. Existing-volume enrollment is a required step in
the zero-downtime web deployment work. This is the Core maintenance
side; the Cloud transition is a separate private change.

## What Changed

- Package a standalone maintenance entry that starts no normal app
routes or execution workers.
- Coordinate the existing agent-file, run-evidence and skill migration
owners. Follow every page and verify shared bytes before final
eligibility.
- Require stopped writers. Refuse active execution, missing local bytes,
local workspaces and external instructions.
- Read the existing decision key without generating a replacement.
Preserve normal key creation for ordinary server startup.
- Require an attempt token for status and export. Export the original
key only after successful migration. Keep status and errors free of
secret material.
- Document the Cloud ownership boundary, deadline, retry and retention
requirements.

## Verification

- Full workspace typecheck and build passed before the review fixes. The
final server TypeScript compilation passed after correcting Drizzle's
optional predicate type.
- Production runtime bundling passed: 2,702 inputs, 122 chunks,
including the maintenance executable.
- The focused suite passed 21 cases using PostgreSQL and real
S3-compatible storage. It covers multi-page migration of 26 agents,
exact reads after deleting the predecessor home, corrupt-object
rejection, active/missing-data refusal, and the bundled plain-Node
process with authenticated export and clean SIGTERM exit.
- Regression cases refuse unsaved terminal working copies, require
explicit stopped/cleaned receipts for unavailable copies, clean 101
expired traces through the owning service, and enforce the deadline
after migration succeeds.
- Initial integration attempts exposed fixture cleanup ordering
problems; corrected runs pass. CI also caught a Drizzle predicate type
error, now fixed and compiled locally.
- All repository CI gates passed on a4db955403, including typecheck,
build, browser suites and serialized tests. Greptile reviewed that head
at 5/5; all four review threads are resolved. Hosted enrollment and
active-agent continuity remain separate acceptance work.

## Risks

- This is an explicit maintenance entry. The caller must confirm all
prior deployments stopped and keep normal tenant routing closed through
detachment.
- A timeout blocks export but an owner may finish its current bounded
operation before observing cancellation. Cloud must confirm process exit
before detaching. SIGTERM has a ten-second hard exit deadline.
- The authenticated export contains the original signing key. The Cloud
caller must put it only in the stack vault and must not log the body.
- Local-workspace and external-instruction migrations remain their
existing owners' responsibility. Enrollment fails closed until those
data are eligible.
- No database schema changes. Ordinary server startup is unchanged
unless this maintenance entry is explicitly launched.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. Tool use, code execution and repository review. The
runtime does not expose a more specific model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 73cd8eb9a5 fix(server): deliver answers promptly during web handoff (#18530)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its web servers can overlap while Railway replaces one deployment.
> - An answer can reach the replacement while the original server owns
the native execution.
> - A competing delivery claim can make the owner miss the first
notification.
> - The normal retry interval then delays the answer by 30 seconds.
> - This pull request gives pending answers a one-second retry in
ephemeral mode and verifies delivery between separate processes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18518 and #18526. This closes a measured native-question delivery
delay during control-plane web deployment overlap.

## What Changed

- Register question delivery through its owning service. Use a
one-second retry for ephemeral servers and retain the configured cadence
for ordinary servers.
- Keep the existing durable claims, response identity, authorization and
continuation behavior.
- Add a two-process PostgreSQL regression for a claim held by the
non-owning server. Verify one command, settlement, idle behavior and
reactivation by another committed answer.
- Keep the assembled startup fixture on the real registration function.
Update the deployment plan with current evidence and remaining
acceptance work.

## Verification

- The same local two-process race took 30.157 seconds before the fix and
1.197 seconds after it. The command sink is simulated; PostgreSQL,
notification transport, interaction response, delivery claim and worker
are real.
- The cross-process regression and assembled startup suite passed 122
tests. No further sweeps or pending inspections occur after settlement.
A second answer wakes the owner through PostgreSQL without a test-owned
sweep.
- Server TypeScript compilation passed. All PR CI gates passed on
d1d426c0dc, including full tests, typecheck, build, browser shards and
serialized suites. Greptile reviewed that head at 5/5 with no findings.
- Live provider continuation, hosted staging deployments and production
acceptance are still separate work.

## Risks

- An unresolved answer causes more frequent reconciliation in ephemeral
mode. Settled history does not keep the worker active. Existing claim
fencing and bounded error attempts are unchanged.
- A 30-second abandoned claim still needs its existing stale-claim
recovery. This change addresses released claims, not proof of provider
liveness.
- The test simulates the provider command sink. It cannot establish that
a paid model consumed the answer or that a remote execution survived a
deploy.
- No schema, API or UI changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. Tool use, code execution and repository review. The
runtime does not expose a more specific model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 16787e4167 Qualify rolling web deployments and preserve Stop through handoff (#18526)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The web server owns request handling and remote execution
coordination.
> - Deployment must start a ready replacement while the old server still
serves.
> - An outage test does not prove that two live servers can overlap
safely.
> - This pull request adds a separate Product E2E cell for that
boundary.
> - The existing run, file, recovery, and retained-session checks still
apply.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18518. The runtime prerequisite is merged; this PR qualifies its
ephemeral server and deployment contracts.

## What Changed

- Add the explicit `rolling-web-deployment` Codex Daytona workflow.
- Start independent A/B/C homes and compiled builds behind a test
ingress.
- Wait for readiness before routing, then drain and delete the old home.
- Observe active authority before handoff and use the existing read-only
recovery oracle.
- Require ordinary reads and saves to succeed throughout replacement.
Read back every accepted save exactly once.
- Preserve the five-minute outage suites and their existing validators.
- Add a model-free supervisor smoke and an unready replacement control.
- Require graceful exit before deleting an old home; forced cleanup
cannot satisfy the oracle.
- Preserve a durable Stop through lease release/expiry until the
recovered execution owner acknowledges it. Permit only fenced
reattachment of the original execution for Stop cleanup; submit no new
turn.
- Exclude events saved by A during shutdown from evidence of B making
progress.

## Verification

- E2E TypeScript check passed.
- Affected harness checks: 143 passed. Catalog, fixture and report
checks: 120 passed.
- Actual supervisor smoke passed two replacements: 436 reads, 45 saves,
zero request failures, and confirmed owned resource cleanup.
- B became ready in 18.7 seconds; C became ready in 109.2 seconds. A
prior C timeout remains failed evidence.
- Fresh browser proof: 11 checks passed, 246 reads, 50 acknowledged
saves, zero failures, 1,058ms reconnect, both old homes deleted and
cleanup confirmed.
- Stop lease-gap regression: three PostgreSQL delivery tests passed with
a simulated provider edge. Current server TypeScript build/vendoring
passed.
- Full harness: 5,814 passed, 17 failed, four skipped. Two shutdown
races passed the focused file; two report timeouts passed an isolated
42-test rerun. Onboarding/workflow-security/Pi/date-expired fixtures are
unchanged on inspected master; the host embedded PostgreSQL fixture
remains a setup limitation. This is not a green full local suite.
- CI at `172509b8be` passed all gates. Greptile is 5/5 with every review
thread resolved. The earlier access-service race failure passed its
isolated regression and the subsequent full CI.
- Final review corrections: six focused executor cases, three PostgreSQL
command-delivery cases, 19 harness cases and server/E2E typechecks
passed.
- Three live attempts failed before agent creation: two harness setup
gaps were fixed, then provider authentication failed. The saved OpenAI
key returns 401; a refresh is pending. The Daytona probe reported
cleanup uncertain, and no sandbox with that attempt label was found
through the authenticated staging manager. No live model execution is
claimed.
- Live Runner overlap, released-container qualification and hosted
deployment proof remain pending. Merging this opt-in qualification lane
does not claim those results.

## Risks

- The source lane shares workspace dependencies and does not establish
container packaging correctness.
- The live workflow needs an explicitly owned S3 bucket, PostgreSQL,
pinned remote image and provider credentials.
- Qualification cleanup stops all owned processes after failure. A
failed replacement must not be reported as a pass.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. Tool use, code execution and repository review. The
runtime does not expose a more specific model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 2b2b5a43b7 fix(daytona): restore the recorded directory for file recovery (#18527)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A stopped sandbox can hold workspace files that still need a durable
copy.
> - File recovery must reopen the exact allocation and directory
recorded by the run.
> - Workspace preparation can place that directory below the allocation
root.
> - Daytona resume returned the allocation root even when recovery
needed the recorded child directory.
> - This pull request lets the file-recovery owner request that exact
directory.
> - Ordinary resume keeps its allocation-root behavior. The recovery
source checks stay strict.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A stopped native run had a prepared remote workspace. The recovery
service stopped and retained its allocation. The next file-recovery step
failed with `source_binding_invalid` and `reopened_cwd_mismatch`.
Daytona resumed the correct allocation and matched its sentinel, but
returned the allocation root instead of the workspace directory recorded
on the lease.

**Expected behavior**

The file-recovery owner must reopen its exact recorded directory without
creating an allocation, an empty directory, or an agent turn. Ordinary
execution resume must keep returning the allocation root for normal
workspace preparation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Prepare a task workspace below a Daytona allocation root.
2. Stop and retain the allocation with unsaved workspace files.
3. Request source-bound file recovery.
4. Before this change, the provider returns the allocation root and the
strict cwd check rejects it.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced from `050365e09d88411960fc3bacc1c08c46c0d9b6fa`.

**Deployment mode**

Docker with the bundled Daytona provider. Local tests use synthetic
provider boundaries and disposable PostgreSQL.

Refs: #18517, #15749. Related retained-export work: #17916. That work
does not change the Daytona resume handler.

## What Changed

- Add an optional driver-only `requestedCwd` resume field to the SDK
contract and existing host forwarders.
- Set the field only after the owned file-recovery path verifies the
recorded source.
- Require Daytona to match the requested directory to the recorded lease
directory. Require a normalized absolute path without NUL bytes. Keep
the allocation and sentinel checks.
- Keep ordinary resume unchanged when the field is absent.
- Add provider, host, and real workspace-preparation regressions.
Document the separate directory contracts.

## Verification

- The original provider regression failed for reusable and ephemeral
leases. The scoped regression also failed to read a real retained file
from the wrong root. Ordinary resume controls passed before the fix.
- Current provider handler: **345/345 passed**. This includes
exact-directory, malformed, missing, foreign, sentinel, reusable,
ephemeral, ordinary-root, and real-file cases.
- Removing only the owned producer's cwd request makes its real
PostgreSQL regression fail with the original `reopened_cwd_mismatch`;
the source file was restored exactly afterward.
- Current host selection: **10/10 passed** against disposable PostgreSQL
17. It covers the inspected owner, sandbox forwarding, generic plugin
forwarding, normal resume without the field, same and later task
workspace preparation, and ownership rejection. The same-workspace
control retains saved bytes and does not append another workspace path.
- Current SDK and Daytona builds, server build, module boundaries, maps,
and diff checks passed. The server used its normal unchanged-Runner
cache. Its canonical input digest matched the previously verified build,
and the canonical assessor accepted the copied original stamp and
outputs. The changed SDK and server compiled from current source.
- Local package-wide validation exposed two unchanged 30-second timeouts
in the 145,000-member tar-listing cases. A single-file control
reproduced both timeouts. That test mocks this provider module. The
failures remain recorded; no timeout changed. The earlier package run
had 497 passes, two failures, and seven skips. It is historical evidence
from the abandoned broader resume experiment, not final-source package
acceptance.
- Initial host attempts timed out during database setup before any
assertion. The final host selection used the existing supported
pre-migrated disposable template. No test timeout changed.
- Greptile reviewed exact head
`8d0e577d1234ad394887255f13707c010dee6d24`: **5/5, no actionable issues,
zero review threads**. [Current
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18527#issuecomment-6555253315).
- The official [Ponytail
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18527#issuecomment-6555237850)
also assessed exact head `8d0e577d1234ad394887255f13707c010dee6d24`:
**5/5, no findings**. Its check is terminal neutral; its completed
source assessment is not a test-execution claim.
- [Primary
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41286802674)
initially lost its spot runner in the UI/CLI workspace lane. The log
records an explicit shutdown signal and no test assertion result. UI,
CLI, lane scripts and dependencies are unchanged; the adjacent
identical-source baseline lane passed. The single failed-lane retry
passed at the same source. The initial failure is retained. All
exact-head CI gates are now green.
- No live repair or image deployment is claimed by this PR.

Commands:

```sh
node packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run --config packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/vitest.config.ts packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/src/plugin.test.ts
node node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run --project @paperclipai/server server/src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts server/src/__tests__/environment-runtime.test.ts -t 'recovers a protected retained source|owned export directory|prepares the (same|later) task workspace|does not reopen a retained source|resumes only the exact stopped sandbox lifecycle|explicit export directory'
pnpm -C packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona build
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server build
node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs
node scripts/check-maps.mjs
git diff --check
```

## Risks

- A provider that does not support the optional field can still return a
different directory. Recovery keeps failing closed on that mismatch.
- Ordinary resumes omit the field. The tests cover the same workspace
and a later task so that normal preparation does not gain an extra path
prefix.
- The field grants no source ownership, stop proof, file-persistence
proof, or execution authority. Existing allocation, company, task, run,
claim, and cwd checks remain in force.
- No schema migration, retry-policy change, model replay, or
historical-row repair is included. Existing failed attempts remain
historical facts. Deployed file recovery still needs its normal
admission and independent persistence and physical-stop receipts.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. Used reasoning, source inspection, tool
use, and code execution. The exact serving model identifier and context
window are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 006d5691a6 feat(server): support volume-free web server handoff (#18518)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its web server also owns controller admission and user commands.
> - A rolling deployment starts a replacement before the old server
exits.
> - Shared database state alone does not preserve local agent files,
browser chunks, or in-process commands.
> - This pull request adds an opt-in ephemeral server contract and a
local overlap test.
> - The benefit is a web server that can relinquish traffic and local
files without losing acknowledged work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18403, #18327, #18335, #18341.

**Current behavior**

The control-plane web server still has local agent-file authority and
local command targets. A new container can miss saved bytes or send a
command to the wrong process. An existing browser tab also needs chunks
from its original build.

**Proposed behavior**

Eligible servers share only PostgreSQL, object storage and stable
secrets. A replacement waits for readiness. The old server drains
admitted requests, keeps owner commands available through handoff, and
releases controller leases. Explicit maintenance adopts existing files
before the volume is removed.

**Reason and benefit**

This is the application prerequisite for rolling app-only deployments.
Schema migrations and permanent multi-replica operation are outside this
change.

## What Changed

- Store agent-file manifests in PostgreSQL and immutable bytes in S3.
Treat local roots as disposable projections. Preserve existing
permission checks and edit conflicts.
- Add an explicit migration, eligibility and object-retention command to
the production runtime bundle.
- Add `/api/ready`, admitted-request drain, browser restart signaling
and retained immutable UI chunks.
- Carry transaction-aware work hints across controllers during handoff
and active execution. Keep listeners closed when idle.
- Deliver durable Stop and runtime responses to the execution owner.
Recheck request lifecycle and access before response dispatch.
- Reject local-only configuration in ephemeral mode. Keep the feature
disabled for existing installations by default.
- Add an isolated PostgreSQL/S3/proxy/browser deployment harness with
independent server homes and retained failure evidence.

## Verification

- All CI checks pass on `ce17b95019d3cf1cabd357d19b6d37f96782cc5c`:
workspace typecheck, build, Runner checks, server/general tests and
browser shards. Greptile reviewed the runtime changes at 5/5 with all
findings resolved; the final commit updates maps and the plan.
- Local targeted checks passed: coordinator 27; Stop/recovery 33;
PostgreSQL command delivery 6; route/workspace regressions 8; bootstrap
Stop 1; restart recovery 75. PostgreSQL command tests simulate the
provider edge.
- Local browser proof passed 91 reads and 19 saves; reconnect took
1,013ms. The tab opened Audit from S3 after deletion of A's whole
home/build. This uses compiled workspace code and local-trusted auth,
not released containers or live agents.
- Local workspace typecheck/build passed; current server and runtime
bundle passed. The earlier broad local suite was stopped after three
hours and is not a passing receipt. Its retained failures and isolated
reruns are documented in the plan.
- Stacked #18526 adds stricter graceful-exit proof, an unready
replacement control, live Runner qualification and a Stop handoff
correction. Hosted enablement remains gated on those results and Cloud
#1096. No hosted stack has been enabled.

## Risks

- Apply migration 0422 before enabling the feature. Existing data must
pass each owner's migration and eligibility checks. Do not discard a
volume based on a single migration page.
- Durable manifests remain authoritative after the opt-in is disabled.
Rolling back to a binary that ignores them is unsupported.
- Cold directory restoration and complete shutdown timing still need
qualification before enabling a hosted stack.
- Retained UI assets must cover the supported browser and rollback
window. Cleanup is explicit; no new idle maintenance polling is
introduced.
- This change does not claim production zero downtime or authorize a
fleet-wide enablement.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact serving model ID and
context-window limit are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning,
code editing, shell execution and browser automation.

DottaandPaperclip 050365e09d Preserve native workspace files after lifecycle Stop (#18517)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent termination must stop execution and preserve unfinished
workspace files.
> - A native run can acknowledge a lifecycle Stop, then finish without
an accepted result.
> - The file preservation worker required a board actor even when the
exact native Stop receipt was valid.
> - This left a prepared remote workspace allocated without a file
recovery action.
> - This pull request admits the exact audited receipt for file
preservation only.
> - The existing recovery service can then save the files and stop the
same allocation without another agent turn.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A cancelled native run can have a terminal, unowned coordinator and a
prepared remote workspace. Agent lifecycle cancellation records a valid
run-only Stop receipt without a board user. The preservation worker
rejects that receipt because it uses the board Stop predicate. The
source lease remains active. A resolved execution watchdog does not
supply the missing file recovery action.

**Steps to reproduce**

Seed a cancelled native run with a terminal-failure coordinator, no
result or owner, an acknowledged and audited run-only Stop, and a
prepared remote workspace. Omit board attribution. Start the registered
cancellation preservation worker. Before this change, it records no
workspace recovery marker.

**Expected behavior**

Record file recovery for the exact bound allocation. Keep the cancelled
result, accounting, task state and watchdog history. Use the normal
recovery service to stop, save and clean up that allocation without
another provider turn.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on source `1e8e32290c657227857aeda2620a73db52bab4f2` with
real local PostgreSQL 17. The observed deployment uses a sandbox
provider and remote workspace storage. Related current workspace work:
#18514. Public PR and issue searches found no duplicate repair.

## What Changed

- Expose the existing exact run-only Stop receipt check. Reject empty
audit identifiers.
- Use that receipt only in cancelled workspace preservation. Keep board
Stop and continuation checks unchanged.
- Defer preservation while the run still holds a live controller lease.
- Schedule that wait at the actual controller lease expiry. A lease
renewal observed under the preservation lock also sets the next
deadline.
- Add a PostgreSQL regression for the remote-workspace-only lifecycle
record, resolved watchdog history, normal recovery admission, ownership
controls, rollback and idle behavior.
- Document the separate file recovery obligation and its physical
cleanup limits.

## Verification

- Before the fix: the registered-worker PostgreSQL regression fails
because the file recovery marker is absent.
- After the original repair at `6fd1042efd`: 20/20 focused tests and all
five sibling suites pass, 320/320 tests. The exact-head server build and
typecheck pass.
- The repository reviewer then found that a live controller caused a
fixed 30-second retry. Both the existing-lease and real row-lock renewal
cases fail against that source. The new
`adb1d4eccdd48be4c86906d5bd111a6e39f20191` schedules the actual recorded
deadline before locking and after the locked reread. The lock still
enforces the ownership guard.
- At `adb1d4eccd`: all 22 focused PostgreSQL controls pass. The directly
affected retention and board receipt sibling suites also pass, 124/124
tests across three files. They prove no intermediate reads or
transactions before expiry, preservation after expiry, and no extra
execution. Server typecheck and the exact-head server build pass.
- Map checks, module boundary checks and `git diff --check` pass.
- Run `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-cancelled-workspace-preservation.test.ts
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-failed-workspace-recovery.test.ts
server/src/services/acknowledged-native-stop.test.ts` with the supported
external test-database variable set to a disposable local PostgreSQL
database. The earlier broader run also covered run control and workspace
recovery.
- Exact-head [canonical
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41274963476)
completed successfully. All 59 current-head checks are terminal with
zero failures; required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e` pass. Both
[Greptile](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18517#issuecomment-6553528545)
and the [repository
assessment](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18517#issuecomment-6553542139)
reviewed exact `adb1d4eccd` at 5/5, with zero findings or unresolved
threads. The repository assessment's check concludes `NEUTRAL`; the
validated assessment itself is 5/5. Earlier reviews, including the valid
4/5 deadline finding at `6fd1042efd`, remain in review history. The
[earlier CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41273965963)
is also retained. No old result substitutes for a current-head gate.
- Real sandbox recovery and physical cleanup remain unverified. Earlier
failed QA outcomes remain failed. This PR changes no test grade or
historical row.
- Repo-wide local tests and typecheck were not run. The focused server
checks cover this change; canonical CI supplies the remaining repository
gates.

## Risks

- The newly admitted receipt permits only file preservation. It cannot
authorize a continuation, accept a native result or certify provider
termination.
- Recovery still requires exact company, task, run, lease, allocation
and workspace bindings. Accepted results and live owners remain with
their existing owners.
- Provider or storage failure can leave recovery pending. The source
must remain retained until saved-file and physical termination receipts
exist.

DottaandPaperclip 1e8e32290c Give metadata project tasks private remote workspaces (#18514)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A task can belong to a project without using that project's files.
> - The specification gives a task without a selected or configured
source its own private folder.
> - The remote source planner instead rejects such a task when its
project has no configured workspace.
> - This stops an ordinary delegated task before native execution
starts.
> - This pull request selects an empty, task-owned remote source for
that narrow default case.
> - Explicit source choices, existing workspace authority, and
repository requirements retain their current checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18504 and #18351. The earlier reference-project fix covered
additional project mentions. This fix covers the task's own
organizational project.

**What happened?**

A task in a project with no configured workspace fails with
`remote_workspace_source_unavailable`. Its project has no workspace
policy, its four workspace selection and binding fields are null, and it
requests no repository, branch, or local folder. The failure occurs
before native runtime selection. A derived project folder exists in the
project facade even when no source is configured; that derived path does
not grant file access.

**Expected behavior**

Use the task's private remote workspace. Keep the project on the task
for organization. Do not adopt the project folder, agent home, or
another repository. Preserve explicit workspace and source requirements.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a project without configured workspaces or a workspace policy.
2. Assign a normal task in that project to a native sandbox agent. Leave
all workspace selections and bindings unset.
3. Start the task with remote workspace storage enabled.
4. On the prior source, observe the source-unavailable error before
allocation. On this source, observe a company-owned remote workspace
whose `sourceIssueId` is the task and whose filesystem project and
source IDs are null.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against the deployed source planner at
`756599e4ea069c9338c320fe8846523d3dfb92a0`. This branch starts at
`987e0932bf66e703750cd04698b3c7e8993580a7`; the relevant planner and
preparation inputs at that parent match the deployed source.

**Deployment mode**

Native sandbox execution with remote workspace storage. The regression
tests use real PostgreSQL with the current migrations.

## What Changed

- Allow an implicit empty source only after a company-scoped query
confirms the project has no workspace rows and no explicit workspace
policy.
- Keep existing bindings, pending selections, explicit source choices,
Git requirements, and local folder choices outside this default.
- Add real PostgreSQL source controls and an assembled heartbeat
preparation control through workspace reservation and the environment
acquisition boundary.
- Clarify the existing task-owned folder contract in the implementation
specification.

## Verification

- Causal RED: the new source control and the assembled allocation
control both fail against the unchanged deployed planner with the
observed source-unavailable error.
- GREEN: 19 focused PostgreSQL controls pass across the source planner
and assembled heartbeat preparation suites. The allocation control
checks the persisted company/task owner, null filesystem project IDs,
private remote root, original organizational project, and unchanged
project and host sentinel files.
- Negative controls retain configured repository sources and reject a
configured source without a URL, an explicit missing source, an unknown
selection, a required project policy, a required branch, an explicit
local folder, a foreign project, and unsupported read-only project
sources.
- Current-source transitive TypeScript checks and `node
scripts/check-maps.mjs` pass. The map check is structural evidence only.
- Fresh exact-head Greptile is 5/5 with zero unresolved threads at
`680461e180232d0f4a057528617e39b64b4f0e3a`.
[Review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18514#issuecomment-6552946468).
The official [Paperclip
assessment](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18514#issuecomment-6552931726)
is 4/5 and remains recorded unchanged. A separate non-author source
review found no actionable issue after the full producer/consumer trace,
with manual confidence 4/5. Neither static review ran the tests or
proved deployed native execution.
- Full repository tests, build, and type checks passed in [canonical
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41269733360).
All 59 checks are terminal: 55 success, three skipped, and the official
Paperclip check neutral; no failed or pending checks. The successful
build checked out merge preview
`03dce9f9bc708e778dd214ca85dfa1ba58e0a806`, with parents current main
`9dbbfa4fb298448db83ace946b338bff321d8b2a` and this exact head. Its four
helper blobs match this head; the four added mainline document-harness
paths remain unchanged. Local tests use source aliases with the current
DB, shared, and Runner source, rather than borrowed generated
declarations.
- Actual QA staging qualification is pending deployment. The previous
failed journey and cleanup evidence remain failed; these local checks do
not relabel them.

### Review follow-up

- Fresh workspace retry: the normal producer sets `taskDirectory:true`
for this empty-source case.
[Heartbeat](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/680461e180232d0f4a057528617e39b64b4f0e3a/server/src/services/heartbeat.ts#L2288-L2296)
separates the saved filesystem project from the organizational project.
[Environment
selection](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/680461e180232d0f4a057528617e39b64b4f0e3a/server/src/services/heartbeat/environment-selection.ts#L506)
selects the fresh task directory. Preparation passes that flag, and the
planner's existing task-directory return runs before the new binding
guard. The proposed fresh failure omits that producer flag. The existing
fresh-intent and binding checks stay strict. This is source evidence,
not an extra runtime test claim.
- Empty policy object: the [public project policy
schema](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/680461e180232d0f4a057528617e39b64b4f0e3a/packages/shared/src/validators/project.ts#L24-L43)
requires `enabled:boolean`. The project PATCH schema makes outer fields
optional and does not make nested policy fields optional. A clear uses
`null`; `{}` is rejected. A defensive parser's treatment of unknown
stored data does not establish a valid `{}` producer. Keep the narrow
fallback closed for non-null policies.
- Boolean grouping: JavaScript evaluates the existing predicate as
`sourceId || (projectId && !implicitTaskDirectory)`. The explicit-source
and metadata-default controls cover those branches. The optional
parentheses suggestion does not identify a behavior change; this
reviewed source remains frozen.
- The official 4/5 assessment and its static verification limits remain
visible. The independent manual review withdrew its initial fresh-retry
concern after the full producer trace. Actual staging qualification
still requires deployment and a new real journey result.

## Risks

- The new query runs only for a source-less default admission. It reads
one authorized project and uses `NOT EXISTS` for that project's source
rows. It adds no recurring poll, write, provider call, or local folder
access.
- A project with an explicit workspace policy remains subject to the
prior source requirement. This conservative rule does not reinterpret
policy fields.
- The allocation control uses the real planner and PostgreSQL
reservation. It stops at environment acquisition, so it proves workspace
ownership rather than provider filesystem execution. Live staging
qualification is still required.
- No API, database schema, permission, model, budget, run limit, or QA
journey oracle changes are included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. This session does not expose a more precise backend model ID
or context-window size.

34f8d25089 fix(github): expose review finding categories (#18429)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - GitHub review bots submit structured assessments through task-bound
tools.
> - Each repository can set its own finding categories.
> - The schema accepts a string, but the server rejects values outside
the saved review policy.
> - Review instructions did not list the accepted values. The error did
not list them either.
> - This change gives agents the values before submission and keeps
server validation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Review submissions failed with an unknown finding category. The agent
corrected the assessment before publication. The sampled trace has two
rejections followed by a processed review. Historical tool inputs are
null. Authorized diagnostic inspection found no saved raw provider trace
for the representative run. The exact rejected values remain unknown.

**Expected behavior**
Agents can find the accepted categories before submission. Unknown
values still fail validation.

**Steps to reproduce**
Set a custom finding category. Start a review. Submit a different
category. Before this change, the instructions and error do not list the
accepted value.

## What Changed

- List configured categories in manual and automatic review
instructions.
- Return categories from the saved assessment policy in `begin_review`.
- Describe the dynamic constraint in the shared discovery schema. Keep
custom categories valid.
- List accepted values in category errors. Keep authorization and
publication checks.
- Add contract and database integration tests. Update documentation and
access maps.

### Hypothesis and thesis for a fix

The missing category guidance can cause avoidable submission retries. A
model can also ignore the policy returned by metadata reads; the
historical inputs do not establish which occurred. The repair belongs to
the GitHub review contract. Use the saved policy categories at review
start, explain the constraint, and retain server rejection. A fixed
global enum would reject valid custom categories.

## Verification

- Baseline `f1d7808`: two new contract assertions failed for missing
category guidance and error detail. The same assertions pass after the
change.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/chat-github-review-policy.test.ts
server/src/services/chat-github-tools.test.ts`: 41 passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/chat-channels.integration.test.ts -t 'returns
snapshot finding categories'`: 1 passed. Real PostgreSQL and service
code; simulated GitHub HTTP. Checks policy changes, rejection before
publication, accepted custom category persistence, and processed
publication.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`: passed. Structural evidence only.
- Shared TypeScript check passed. Server TypeScript checking was killed
by the 8 GiB memory limit, including a separate retry after the other
checks stopped.
- Full typecheck and build could not complete: `cargo` is absent. Full
tests were stopped after concurrent checks exhausted memory. CI must
supply the full checks.
- Follow-up compiler repair: the unchanged baseline reproduces TS2352 in
the category discovery test. Runtime matchers replace the unsafe schema
cast. They retain both guidance and custom-category assertions. The
repair is commit `0dcb94c676`, with current master merged at
`14d7052854`. The final head is
`c46b8f35add9255fc71be294d27f5a7865bcb47f`; the remaining code-comment
review finding was removed and resolved.
- Final-head CI: all gates pass, with no failed or pending checks.
Greptile gives this head 5/5 with no outstanding findings; the only
inline thread is resolved. The workspace test shard passed on one
bounded rerun after an earlier CLI child-server readiness timeout; no
code change was made for that rerun.
- The review host passed full recursive typecheck and build after the
compiler repair and master integration. Fresh database rechecks hit the
host PostgreSQL semaphore limit. The full local test command hit a
pre-existing chat line-selection failure before assertions. These local
limits do not replace the passing final-head CI evidence.
- No live model or GitHub publication at the changed revision. No
deployment or merge.

## Risks

- Instructions add policy text. An agent can still ignore it.
- Existing bot catalogs get the schema description when tools are
synchronized. Trusted review instructions and `begin_review` also expose
categories.
- The service test uses simulated GitHub HTTP. It does not prove that
deployed agents avoid retries.

## Model Used

The original worker used OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through Codex with
reasoning, tool use, and code execution. A later Codex review repaired
the test compiler error. That review runtime exposes GPT-6 but no exact
snapshot or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip e09f40888a fix(recovery): preserve native task access during resolution (#18489)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip controls agent execution and task ownership.
> - A native run needs its task binding until it reports its result.
> - Direct task updates already reject self-status changes that remove
this binding.
> - Recovery resolution can also change the source task status.
> - That route did not use the same protection.
> - This change rejects the unsafe status change before the task or
recovery receipt changes.
> - The run can then use semantic completion while normal recovery
permissions remain effective.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18411.

**What happened?**

A running native owner can resolve an older recovery action with
`sourceIssueStatus: "in_review"` or `"done"`. The request succeeds and
changes its own task status. That can release the execution binding
before the run reports. Later task tools fail with
`paperclip_runner_tool_binding_not_authorized`.

**Expected behavior**

Return a conflict before the task status or action receipt changes. Tell
the run to report through `paperclip_finish` or `paperclip_block`.
Preserve unchanged-status resolution, Board recovery, legacy-agent
behavior, and the existing conversation and handoff rules.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Give a running native owner the task execution lock and an older
recovery action.
2. Call `POST /api/issues/{id}/recovery-actions/resolve` as that run.
Use `outcome: "restored"` and `sourceIssueStatus: "in_review"`.
3. Before this fix, the route returns 200 and changes the status. After
this fix, it returns 409 with `native_run_status_reported_by_finish` and
makes no task or action mutation.

## What Changed

- Reuse the existing native self-status guard inside recovery
resolution's source-task transaction.
- Let the guard receive the requested status from either route contract.
- Add HTTP route regressions for rejected review/completion transitions
and continued task editing after rejection.
- Cover unchanged-status native resolution, Board recovery and
legacy-agent resolution.
- Update execution semantics and both recovery maps.

## Verification

- Baseline `91fdf02`: the two new rejection cases fail because the real
Express route returns 200. Three safety cases pass.
- Fixed source: all 198 tests in
`server/src/__tests__/issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts`
pass.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` passes. This is structural evidence.
- Greptile and Paperclip Review both give the integrated head 5/5 with
no actionable findings.
- Full recursive typecheck, full build, and a repeat of all 198 route
tests pass at integrated head
`0fa104dfb240500acd01303cd446363ea39c6c75`. All current-head CI gates
pass (55 successful checks/statuses; no failed or pending checks).
- The full local `pnpm test:run` command fails in chat-test line
selection with `No test found`, before assertions. This also occurs with
the unchanged master chat test file. It is not a passing full local
suite.
- The route tests use the real route, validation and guard. They mock
service and database boundaries. The observed hosted failure establishes
the original mechanism. Fixed-source live provider acceptance remains
unverified. No deployment or merge is part of this PR.

## Risks

- A native owner now receives a conflict for a previously accepted
recovery status change. It must use the existing semantic result path.
- This prevents a new binding loss. It does not prove that an old remote
executor stopped or recover missing provider state.
- Board, legacy, conversation and handoff behavior retains existing
authority. The regression includes representative allowed paths.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip c38844eafa test: observe complete workspace retention cleanup (#18507)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and preserves their work.
> - Remote workspace retention removes saved objects after their last
pin clears.
> - The retention worker deletes each object before it commits the final
snapshot state.
> - The parent-revisit test treats the first object deletion as
completion of all work.
> - That valid intermediate state can fail the next-deadline assertion.
> - This pull request observes complete storage, database, and worker
settlement within the existing bound.
> - The test still fails if the parent is not revisited after the child
releases its pin.

Refs: #18506

**What happened?**

[The server6 CI
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41263476916/job/124721633674)
failed at `remote-workspace-snapshot-retention.test.ts:248`. The test
expected a null retention deadline after the first parent object
disappeared. The parent could still have its second object and a
`delete_requested` row. The worker was not finished.

**Expected behavior**

The test must wait for both parent objects, both snapshot rows, and the
retention worker to finish. It must retain the four-second bound and
40ms observation interval.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use the parent/unfinished-child fixture in the retention test.
2. Hold the second parent-object deletion after the first object is
removed.
3. Read the old assertion while the parent row remains
`delete_requested`.
4. The old assertion receives `1793361600000` instead of null. Release
the hold and observe the completed state.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The failed CI checkout was `ab849702a78f6bb619b1527596cd52db402d9189`.
This test-only repair starts from actual mainline
`b110271c9b2fd6dd5a1beb119e7f0663385df8b9`. The relevant test, retention
service, coordinator, storage, test-helper, and configuration blobs
match the failed checkout and mainline
`756599e4ea069c9338c320fe8846523d3dfb92a0`.

**Deployment mode**

Built-from-source server tests. The local controls used one disposable
PostgreSQL17 instance and local disk storage. They used no deployed
company or model.

## What Changed

- Observe both parent objects and the exact parent and child database
rows in one bounded assertion.
- Require deleted rows with cleared deadlines, zero active tracked work,
and no coordinator wake before the test ends.
- Keep the original four-second timeout and 40ms interval. Production
retention and scheduling code stay unchanged.

## Verification

- All17 tests in `remote-workspace-snapshot-retention.test.ts` passed on
Node24 with current-source aliases, current migrations, and a disposable
PostgreSQL17 database.
- At immutable head `1e7eeb422be260bfaf752792596f8cdd126fff8d`, the
second-deletion hold control also passed all17 file tests. Removing only
the parent-revisit signal still failed the affected case within four
seconds. The owned database container was stopped and its automatic
removal was verified.
- Normal checkout command: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec
vitest run src/services/remote-workspace-snapshot-retention.test.ts
--reporter=verbose`.
- Four bounded controls used the exact failed CI source: unchanged
baseline PASS; held second deletion with the old assertion RED; the same
held state with complete-settlement observation GREEN; removed
parent-revisit signal RED under the original four-second limit.
- The held state proved: first parent object absent, second present,
child row deleted, parent row `delete_requested`, non-null deadline, and
active worker. This proves a reachable observer bug. The exact
interleaving in the historical CI job was not recorded and remains
unknown.
- The same case passed at mainline756 in [the canonical readiness
control](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41260612021/job/124712930107).
Source identity and a passing control alone do not establish cause; the
held-state control supplies that evidence.
- `git diff --check` passed. The net source change is one test file,
with no added comments or runtime changes.
- Final exact head `1e7eeb422be260bfaf752792596f8cdd126fff8d`:
[canonical
CI41264965700](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41264965700)
completed successfully. All57 checks are terminal and clean, with no
pending or failed checks. This includes the aggregate verify and Snyk
gates. The PR is mergeable and clean. No old failed job was retried.
- [Greptile reviewed this exact full head
at5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18507#issuecomment-6552310742),
with no actionable findings and zero open review threads. Complete
thread pagination was checked.
- [The current Paperclip assessment
is4/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18507#issuecomment-6552292204),
with a final full-head footer. Its check conclusion is neutral. It calls
the fix correct and identifies one minor, non-blocking concern about a
process-wide active-work counter. This score remains4/5; it is not
represented as5/5.

## Risks

The assertion is stricter because it checks complete deletion and worker
settlement. A real missing revisit, retained object, unresolved row, or
continuing worker must still fail. The bound is unchanged. No schema,
API, production storage, scheduler, or deployed configuration changes
are included. No user-facing command or behavior changed, so no product
documentation update is needed.

The Paperclip review notes that `idleWorkSnapshot().active` is
process-wide. The current test configuration uses fork isolation, one
worker, and serial tests, so the counter is scoped to this fixture in
the present test run. We retain it because deleted rows and an empty
wake queue can be observed before the coordinator finishes its active
work. If test isolation or fixture concurrency changes, this assertion
will need a worker-specific settlement check. This is the review's
accepted non-blocking limitation; it is not waived or scored as
resolved5/5.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, source inspection, code
execution, and tool use. The session does not expose a more specific
backend model ID or context-window size; neither is inferred.

DottaandPaperclip b110271c9b test: observe GitHub enrollment after worker settlement (#18506)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - GitHub connection events use a worker that must return to quiet
after it drains an event.
> - The integration test checks that work with real PostgreSQL and
signed loopback requests.
> - The loopback server can receive an ACK before the worker completes
that request.
> - The test reads the next deadline too early and can reject valid work
in progress.
> - This pull request waits for the observed work state without moving
the fake clock.
> - It keeps the exact work counts, identity checks, deadline bound and
quietness checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18395 and #18351. This is a test-only repair for the event-worker
integration fixture.

**What happened?**

[CI run
41257779002](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41257779002/job/124704574485)
failed at the replacement follow-up deadline assertion.
`coordinator.nextWakeAt()` was `null` after the server received the
second ACK. The worker can still be waiting for that ACK response at
this point.

**Expected behavior**

Wait for the worker to expose a deadline or finish the exact expected
follow-up. Do not drive fake time during an observation. Require the
scheduled follow-up to stay within five seconds of the first
observation. Keep one empty follow-up, the new identity and no I/O after
the worker becomes quiet.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run the existing enrollment integration test on the original CI merge
`a1e25444a95f3698c3761cd1796bd1e11567224c`.
2. Hold only the second loopback ACK response after its server counter
increments.
3. The original deadline assertion fails while the worker remains
active.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The causal control used the exact CI merge above. This repair starts
from verified master `66e8fab9447aa21350f87ddec79fcd027f3e23ad`. The
fixture and relevant worker files match the earlier `b889` inputs. The
original failure remains preserved. The controlled race does not prove
the unique historical scheduling of that CI attempt.

## What Changed

- Use bounded real I/O yields for observations. Assert that the fake
clock stays fixed during each observation.
- Advance fake time only to actual pending follow-up deadlines. Keep one
fixed five-second reference for each drain.
- Accept an already finished follow-up only when the exact expected
lease count is present. Quietness must still follow.
- Hold the replacement ACK on a Promise gate in the existing test.
Release it during normal work and in cleanup. This keeps a deterministic
regression without a sleep.
- Keep the signed request, identity replacement, exact lease counts,
25-minute no-I/O checks and 30-second test budget.

## Verification

- Original CI: one assertion failure at line 126; 2,619 other tests
passed in that lane. It was not a test timeout or host failure.
- Earlier controls: the same test and relevant worker inputs passed in
two fresh CI lanes. Both used zero Turbo cache hits. Input identity
alone is not the cause proof.
- Causal controls on the original CI source: unchanged baseline passed;
held ACK failed at the original assertion with active work; a settlement
barrier passed all original assertions; a missing second hint still
failed.
- Final patch with real PostgreSQL 17 and current source migrations: the
direct test passes, including its deterministic ACK gate. An extra 750
ms ACK delay also passes. The missing-second-hint negative still fails
at the expected observation.
- Focused command: `pnpm exec vitest run --project server
server/src/__tests__/github-connection-enrollment-work.test.ts`. Local
checks used current-source package aliases and one disposable loopback
PostgreSQL instance. The test creates a unique database and no user
data.
- Fresh Greptile review is 5/5 for
`519c3fd4a99bf77aea7b085b67c38701358fef95`. The exact head has no open
review threads. The current Paperclip assessment is also 5/5 with a
final response footer for that full commit. Its check conclusion is
neutral.
- [Canonical CI
41260540629](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41260540629)
completed successfully for the exact head. All 57 checks are terminal
with no failures or pending checks. This includes `ci / verify` and
Snyk. The PR is mergeable and clean.
- `git diff --check` passes. Full repository typecheck, tests and build
are delegated to fresh PR CI. No QA journey, model run, deployment or CI
retry was performed for this repair.

## Risks

This change affects one integration fixture. Production worker logic,
schedules and deadlines do not change. The observer retains a one-second
real-time bound and the test retains its 30-second budget. The test
still fails on missing work, extra work, a late deadline, a wrong
identity or I/O after quiet. The database and HTTP server remain owned
by the fixture.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The session does not expose a more specific
backend model ID or fixed context window. Used reasoning, repository
tools and test execution.

DottaandPaperclip 756599e4ea fix(workspaces): keep project references without source folders (#18504)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents can receive project references in normal task and chat
messages.
> - Remote workspace preparation checks those references before a native
run starts.
> - A project with no workspace source has no folder to attach.
> - The current check rejects that project as an unsupported read-only
folder.
> - This pull request keeps the project reference and reports the
missing source without attaching files.
> - Projects with configured sources keep the current remote access
restrictions.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18403 and #18351. This is a product prerequisite for the hiring
journey. It changes no journey code.

**What happened?**

A native chat run failed before execution when its message referenced an
authorized project with zero configured workspaces. The error was
`workspace_validation_failed`: “This remote runtime cannot safely
provide read-only project folders.” The project had no repository or
checkout. The failed QA run and original grade remain preserved.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the task workspace when a referenced project has no configured
source. Report that no project folder was attached. Continue to reject
configured cross-project sources that require an unsupported read-only
mount.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use a native remote task folder with multi-project references
enabled.
2. Mention a same-company project that has no configured workspaces in a
normal comment.
3. Prepare the run workspace.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `b889ac39b7fbed558c5f4cfbbc2b73c4ca916810` with the real
workspace resolver and PostgreSQL migrations. The staging failure was
recorded in workflow
[41253428446](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/actions/runs/41253428446).

## What Changed

- Distinguish authorized project references with a known empty workspace
list from configured sources.
- Return a resolution warning and failure receipt for an absent source.
Do not attach a folder or create a workspace.
- Preserve project authorization, company filtering, the disabled
remote-source gate, and the read-only restriction for configured
sources.
- Add real PostgreSQL regression cases and document the reference
contract.

## Verification

- Causal RED on unchanged `b889`: the metadata-only project case failed
with the same read-only error. The real repository negative already
passed.
- GREEN: eight PostgreSQL cases pass. They cover an absent source with
the remote-source switch both on and off, a saved existing workspace, a
repository, a configured source without a repository URL, the disabled
remote gate, mixed references, and a foreign company.
- The existing assembled workspace test also passes: a real read-only
project source is rejected before reservation or environment
acquisition. Total: 9 selected tests pass; 119 unrelated tests were not
selected.
- Tests use PostgreSQL 17 and the current source migrations. The local
Vitest configuration selects current DB, shared, and Runner sources
because the borrowed dependency output predates the remote workspace
feature.
- Current-source TypeScript checking of both changed TypeScript files
and their dependency graph passes. It uses the repository's real Express
actor declaration.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check` pass.
- Canonical reproduction: `pnpm exec vitest run --project server
server/src/services/heartbeat/remote-workspace-source.test.ts` with the
existing embedded PostgreSQL support or
`PAPERCLIP_TEST_POSTGRES_ADMIN_URL` set to a disposable test cluster.
- Historical `0f2b` passed all 59 CI checks. A separate non-author
manual source audit reported no actionable findings at confidence 4/5;
it did not rerun tests or qualify live QA. The official 4/5 review
requested a flag-scope test and saved-workspace control. This
test-and-documentation update adds both, with production source bytes
unchanged.
- Current-head canonical [CI
41258109282](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41258109282)
passed: all 59 checks are terminal (55 success, 3 skipped, 1 neutral),
with no failures or pending checks. Build and typecheck passed. The
eight-case regression file passed in the canonical Linux server 1/12
lane. Its checkout `6f69ccca70d10e78885b133fb54a80940bf175a5` has
parents `b889` and this exact head; its tree equals this head.
- Fresh Greptile and official Ponytail assessments each give 5/5 for
exact `27660027d12ff31427d611019e90dabfb6d8503a`, with zero unresolved
review threads. The separate manual audit remains 4/5.
- Live QA remains pending on a reviewed app build. This regression proof
does not claim that the hiring journey passed.

## Risks

A project source could be added after project hydration. This change
uses the same run-preparation source snapshot as the existing
authorization and source check. It only permits a positively known empty
workspace list. Configured sources, unknown shapes, foreign projects,
and existing execution authority keep their current checks. No schema,
credentials, provider, model, budget, or filesystem permissions change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The session does not expose a more specific
backend model ID or fixed context window. Used reasoning, repository
tools, TypeScript and test execution.

DottaandPaperclip 66e8fab944 fix: complete native chat responses and improve API discovery (#18364)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip must perform work and report its outcome accurately.
> - A chat response and its delegated or operator-owned work are
separate stages.
> - Native chat contracts instead required literal completion of the
user's whole request.
> - Agents kept searching or waiting even when a truthful handoff should
finish the response.
> - OpenCode also has separate acknowledgement backlog and
empty-response failure paths.
> - This PR aligns chat completion with its current stage and makes
OpenCode completion truthful.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18098 for retained OpenCode evidence and #18377 for separate eval
setup, oracle and reporting repairs.

**What happened?** Real pinned OpenCode 1.18.34 reproduced an MCP
timeout behind 800 text fragments. Pilot
[41222196525](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41222196525)
separately exposed a fabricated successful reply after a reasoning-only
response. Later restart attempts timed out without an answer. Their
native criterion literally required restarting the instance, although
the chat instructions and authority required an operator handoff.
General authority guidance alone did not resolve it.

**Expected behavior:** A standing chat completes its current authorized
response. It performs and verifies permitted actions, verifies delegated
handoffs, or explains the specific unavailable action and operator path.
The worker's task remains separate. Ordinary execution tasks must still
complete their requested work. Empty provider responses must not become
invented success.

**Version and reproduction:** Actual pinned OpenCode and native Rust
Runner, with retained full-stack AWS attempts. Product baseline master
`51ea624344`. This PR adds no historical catalog to master.

## What Changed

- Build standing-chat completion contracts from the server-owned
conversation identity. Scope each current request to the response stage;
preserve request text, criterion IDs, order, human-response scope and
source revisions. Require verified authorized actions and truthful
handoffs. Ordinary task contracts stay strict. Existing admitted inputs
retain their saved contract during recovery; new contract content uses
the existing revision/hash mechanism.
- Guide prospective defaults to their owning resource and preserve
existing work unless backfill is requested. Guide unavailable
board/operator operations to the supported handoff. These are general
chat instructions with no eval identities or expected answers.
- Batch adjacent assistant text for at most 50 ms and 4,000 UTF-8 bytes.
Preserve text, metadata and order; flush before non-text frames and
shutdown.
- Give an empty OpenCode response one correction within its existing
turn, model, reasoning, context and deadline. Accept actual completed
answer parts with incomplete headers. Preserve actual active tool work,
bound idle evidence grace and fail truthfully if correction stays empty.
- Reject empty OpenCode terminals in Rust without actual prose or an
accepted semantic result. Never invent successful replies or evidence.
Refresh generated project-discovery contracts.
- Preserve accurate public API-discovery descriptions for existing
project defaults and managed instance restart operations, including
their field scope and authority limits.

## Verification

**Qualified: [pilot
41256592937](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41256592937)
passes 3/3, with all 35 independent checks passing.**

| Case | Checks | Full case duration | Evidence and cleanup |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Instance restart | 9/9 | 140.1 s | complete |
| Project defaults | 11/11 | 204.2 s | complete |
| Project work | 15/15 | 204.0 s | complete |

All three are original-attempt results from source
`c51e079f7f2364305b131ffd549e263ff78c5335`, containing the exact product
files from `13c2b61f31d873a475ea0c3c026b19926ff42301`. Actual saved
conversation contracts were inspected, as were ordinary native worker
contracts where present. Each protected archive includes the actual API
state and final PNG; cleanup completes. Original queries,
`openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017`, finite case clocks,
concurrency one and zero eval retries are preserved. Earlier passes do
not transfer into this qualification.

Both current heads pass all checks: product **62** (56 success, one
neutral, five skipped), catalog **56** (54 success, one neutral, one
skipped). Both have exact-head Greptile **5/5**, zero unresolved review
threads and clean mergeability. The three trusted private-evidence
protocol files remain byte-identical to the dispatch workflow. Raw
evidence stays protected.

- **2,044 API discovery tests pass.** Red controls showed that “restart
instance” selected unrelated drain/settings operations and “save project
defaults” selected repository replacement. Accurate public summaries now
rank the existing operations correctly; route registration preserves
descriptions. No endpoint, permission or field behavior changes.
- **112 real-database, authenticated HTTP, native Runner and OpenAPI
consumer tests pass locally**, using disposable task-owned Docker
PostgreSQL. It was removed afterward; shared IPC was untouched. These
cover persisted contract selection, admitted native input and the model
envelope together. The isolated CI suites also pass.
- **77 focused contract/input/context tests pass.** Red controls catch
the wrong conversation predicate; canonical identity requires both agent
and user IDs, including the actual heartbeat projection. Ordinary tasks,
agent-only issues and planner tasks remain strict. Coalesced requests
preserve criterion identities, source hashes and human-response scope.
- **144 OpenCode driver tests pass**; native core **441 pass, one
ignored**; packaging **56 pass, six skipped**. Server typecheck and
build pass.
- Real pinned OpenCode/native Runner: a delayed 25-second
acknowledgement completes within the original 30-second MCP deadline.
The text-fragment control changes 817 notifications / 54.1 seconds /
timeout to 45 / 19.0 seconds / accepted finish. Separate fast,
six-minute and real authenticated API probes complete 32 tool calls plus
finish. These do not reproduce every remaining historical MCP timeout,
and no common cause is claimed for all such failures.

Retained failures remain attributed to their original source. Earlier
runs exposed fabricated empty-response success, prospective-default
backfill, a literal whole-task chat criterion, fixture readiness and
oracle/reporting defects. The immediately preceding
[41250502608](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41250502608),
product `c0bf249807` / source `7b1de24ce1`, is **1/3**: work 15/15;
restart 4/9 with the repaired contract actually admitted but no answer;
defaults timed out before settlement, then exceeded the unchanged 256
MiB original-evidence allowance. Defaults domain behavior on that
attempt remains inconclusive. #18377 retains the full attempt ledger,
including missing archives and pre-paid cancellations. The fresh 3/3
establishes these selected outcomes; it does not establish full-catalog
reliability.

## Risks

The shared contract change applies to standing native chats across
providers. It changes model instructions and completion scope, while
permission, approval and review gates remain enforced by their existing
owners. Incorrect model claims remain possible; the product evals
independently require actual mutations, native work and delivery. The
correction adds at most one provider request within the existing
deadline; text batching can delay adjacent text by 50 ms. Three
qualified attempts do not establish full-catalog reliability.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository inspection, tool use, code
execution and live eval tooling. Exact hosted model revision and
context-window size are not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip b889ac39b7 fix: serialize native completion replies and bounded retries (#18502)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their work.
> - A delegated task reports its result to the source conversation
through a durable completion outbox.
> - Native execution can succeed before the presentation worker saves
the accepted final reply.
> - The outbox treated that short interval as a missing answer and
cleared the target run.
> - The presentation worker then rejected the valid answer because its
delivery no longer belonged to that run.
> - This change retains the existing target for one fixed presentation
grace while accepted presentation is pending.
> - The existing presentation owner can save the reply without another
model run or more budget.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A completion-delivery retry can run immediately after a native callback
succeeds. It clears the callback's delivery target before the
presentation worker saves the accepted answer. The reply then fails with
`chat_completion_superseded`. A daily run limit correctly blocks the
unnecessary replacement run, leaving the conversation active without its
saved answer.

**Expected behavior**

The outbox must retain its current target and attempt while that exact
native run has accepted presentation work. The existing presentation
worker must save the answer once, acknowledge the delivery, and settle
the conversation. Existing actor, session, result, digest, budget and
retry checks must remain enforced.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Accept a native DONE result and current-turn final message for a
completion callback.
2. Run its due completion-outbox handler after terminal projection but
before reply presentation.
3. Run the existing presentation worker. Before this fix it rejects the
reply because the outbox has cleared the target.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `b7f1c3769c00a107ffe4128b48b0ef8cc452cf3f` through the
real PostgreSQL outbox and presentation services. The reported failure
remains preserved. A new QA run is required after deployment; local
tests do not qualify the deployed fix.

Related: #17696 schedules accepted-response recovery. #18118 preserves
canonical completion receipts. #18364 handles provider output and
response-stage contracts. Those changes do not protect the
completion-outbox target during this interval.

## What Changed

- Defer a new execution attempt when the existing selector finds pending
presentation for the same company, conversation, run and agent.
- Retain the queued delivery target and attempt with an atomic
compare-and-set. Await the existing scoped worker notification before
that write in the same transaction.
- Serialize retry with reply insertion under the existing
child-task-first lock. Recheck locked task Done state and the delivery's
stable completion-event version, status, target, attempt and exact
lease. A delivered, retargeted or newer-claim winner prevents another
wake. Admit the next attempt only after the winning transaction commits
and releases its locks.
- Limit presentation grace to five existing one-minute delivery leases,
measured from the original run `finishedAt`. Clamp both the delivery
lease and the native retry deadline to that immutable limit. Repeated
sweeps cannot extend it. After expiry, resume the existing retry,
exhaustion and daily-limit checks.
- Keep publication authority in the existing materializer. The candidate
query only defers a retry. Read the freshly reloaded delivery status,
target and saved receipt after acquiring its child-task lock.
- Fence both hold and retry writes with the exact claimed event version,
attempt and lease. A stalled old hold cannot overwrite a newer lease.
- Keep completion-event identity separate from mutable task ownership
versions. Ordinary Done reassignment preserves its existing completion
event; a real reopen retains normal supersession.
- Add real PostgreSQL coverage for the observed ordering, outer commit
and rollback, one saved reply, conversation settlement, idle SQL, retry
boundaries and superseded deliveries.
- Document the completion-outbox and presentation contract.

## Verification

- Before the fix, the real PostgreSQL regression fails with
`chat_completion_superseded` in `existingChatCompletionReply` when the
outbox handles the terminal run first. After the fix, the same test
passes without a new model wake.
- Focused command: `vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/services/native-runtime/agent-chat-response-recovery.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/chat-completion-delivery.test.ts` — **95 pass** on
`45f53a8c32fcca0bbdacf717286d37e30c1ba308`, using a disposable database
on an owned local PostgreSQL 17 container.
- Controls preserve retries for failed, cancelled, missing-final,
missing-accepted-result, old-generation, foreign-company and
foreign-agent targets. Reset or superseded task versions retain
supersession. Digest and external-context declines never authorize a
reply, never extend the fixed window, and leave it at exact expiry. An
external native deadline cannot extend the limit. A valid reply at the
last millisecond saves once without another model run.
- The first reviewed head `b6f9c484b9567bc60af6d684c04e00058c1048ed`
received Greptile 5/5 but an independent 3/5 review correctly found an
unbounded hold. Three new real PostgreSQL controls failed on that
source. This head adds the fixed bound and makes them pass. The earlier
review, controls and CI remain retained; its review score does not
qualify the new head.
- The bounded predecessor `7300d2a978a5c4b3c13d85899bed3e98ae3c49fa`
received an independent 4/5 review that correctly found an
expiry-versus-in-flight-reply race. A real PostgreSQL advisory gate
reproduced it after reply authority checked the delivery but before
insertion. The retry lock and exact claim CAS now make that control
pass. Both orderings, outer rollback, delivered/retargeted/superseded
winners and competing lease claims pass. The next-wake test can acquire
both parent and child locks, proving dispatch occurs after release. The
valid 4/5 review and failing control remain retained.
- At `39dd86e8f51d937cf382b2757736e0477201d21d`, both reviews found
valid remaining defects: the reply helper still used its pre-lock
delivery snapshot, and ordinary Done reassignment could stall a delivery
by changing the task version. Four real PostgreSQL controls fail on that
source and pass here: concurrent retry-first, a newly saved receipt
after waiting, and reassignment within grace or at expiry. A real reopen
through the issue service still supersedes the old event.
- A later coordinator review found the hold CAS still lacked the attempt
and lease fences already present on retry. A real PostgreSQL producer
barrier reproduced an old hold shortening a newer claim from 120 seconds
to 60 seconds. The same exact claim fences now prevent that overwrite.
This failed control is retained; no old run was blindly retried.
- The real worker saves one exact run-owned reply and acknowledges the
delivery only after outer commit. An outer rollback publishes no reply.
After settlement, advancing the scheduler clock by 60 seconds causes no
further SQL.
- Module boundaries, map structure, `git diff --check` and the canonical
server build (including TypeScript and Runner vendor preparation) pass.
The first local build stopped in the host package-manager setup; the
installed pinned pnpm completed the build. Full repository typecheck,
test and build gates pass in current-head CI; they have not all been run
locally.
- Final local checks also caught a test cleanup type error (TS2677) and
one 94/95 readiness failure: the worker saves its comment before
post-commit conversation settlement finishes. The test-only follow-up
removes an invalid cleanup type predicate and waits on the existing
bounded worker-quiet check before reading final state. All assertions
and the same five-second bound remain. Source
`45f53a8c32fcca0bbdacf717286d37e30c1ba308` passes all 95 cases and the
canonical server build. The earlier failures are retained.
- The final policy cleanup removes only 15 newly added narrative comment
lines (seven service, eight test), as required by CONTRIBUTING.md. Both
TypeScript AST signatures and `removeComments=true` emitted JavaScript
are identical to tested source `45f53a8c32`. This was checked with the
TypeScript 6.0.3 API and the installed native TypeScript 7.0.2 compiler.
Assertions, timeouts and behavior are unchanged; the 95 tests were not
repeated for identical compiled code.
- The superseded `45f53a8c32` CI run recorded two 15-second timeouts in
attention-retention cases. That failure remains retained. The test and
its ten inspected owner or support files are identical on the tested
master revisions. The canonical base run passes all 53 attention cases,
and the comparison PR passes the same server lane, including those two
cases in 9.3 and 9.8 seconds. This does not establish the timeout cause.
Current-head CI is a new run after the required comment cleanup, not a
retry of the failed source.
- The optional Paperclip review bot ended neutral without a completed
assessment because its execution paused. That result is not an approval.
A separate [independent read-only
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18502#issuecomment-6550216227)
reports 5/5 confidence on exact head
`9cfd3f74c69cc7a2da7b4ee5d1fca80f15d4af0c`, with no findings. Its manual
assessment does not replace or relabel the incomplete bot result.
- Current head `9cfd3f74c69cc7a2da7b4ee5d1fca80f15d4af0c` has a fresh
Greptile 5/5 review with no open threads. [CI run
41249007430](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41249007430)
passes all primary jobs and both required gates (`ci / verify` and `ci /
e2e`). All 59 PR contexts are terminal, with no failed contexts. The
actual CI checkout is `18db9e2750d6a799f26b5b8ba31bcccbea254227`, which
combines master `681f7b77262a9df6c1b4aad55291bf960061e491` with this
exact head. Fresh QA verification on the deployed application remains
required before claiming the live failure is fixed.

## Risks

A candidate can retain a delivery whose stricter presentation checks
still prevent publication, but only within the fixed five-minute window.
The existing worker keeps publication authority. If a valid reply
remains unavailable at expiry, the normal callback retry may require
another admitted model run; the original result and completed child work
remain preserved. Existing retry, exhaustion, model-run and spending
limits still apply. Failed or cancelled execution and genuinely missing
accepted output retain the existing retry path.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository inspection, tool use and
code execution. The runtime does not expose the exact hosted revision or
context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 91fdf02e95 perf(tasks): defer completed transcripts on compact opens (#18461)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task conversations must show the saved instruction and recent
replies quickly.
> - Compact task reads already limit the saved message window.
> - The conversation still waits for completed run transcripts even when
a saved reply contains the result.
> - Removing that wait alone can insert activity after the reader starts
reading.
> - This pull request defers that output until the reader opens history
and keeps required output in the initial reveal.
> - The benefit is a useful conversation sooner, with a stable first
layout and a working composer.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17593, #18092, #18312, #18358, #18422.

**What happened?**

Opening a task with a long saved investigation can wait for native
events or legacy logs before showing its existing replies. A slow
transcript request can hold the conversation behind the loading screen
until the 15-second fallback.

**Expected behavior**

Show the bounded saved conversation without reading completed output
that already has a usable saved reply. Keep that output available
through the existing history controls.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a task with many completed runs and long saved agent replies.
2. Delay its run events and logs.
3. Open the compact task directly. Before this change, the transcript
read blocks the saved replies and composer.

## What Changed

- Defer completed successful run transcripts on compact task opens when
a usable saved reply is present. Load that output through the existing
history controls.
- Keep required output on the initial path: live and failed runs,
yielded runs, pending interactions, placeholder/progress-only replies,
explicit anchors, chats, and full history. Retain output already
selected during this visit when its run completes.
- Keep saved plans visible when their owning run output is deferred or
still loading.
- Keep the same composer and draft through history expansion. Offer
**More run output** when a single saved run has deferred output.
- Position same-task comment links after their target arrives. Wait only
for a missing target, with a 15-second limit. Unrelated stalled metadata
cannot block an available target after the reveal deadline.
- Preserve the reading anchor when a queued scroll event arrives during
a properties-pane width transition.
- Add a 200-reply/200-run PostgreSQL browser fixture with a saved plan,
covering both task views on desktop and mobile. Correct stale browser
setup for current routes and the shared mobile scroller.
- Remove a random company-prefix collision in the isolated privacy test
fixture that failed during CI.

## Verification

- Final revision `fba3f2fcbb`: 386 focused thread/scroller unit cases
and all 32 production-browser journeys passed. The browser cases cover
both task views on desktop/mobile, saved plans, delayed transcripts,
history, comment links, Back, drafts, retry, avatar continuity, media
and pane resizing. The 25 privacy fixture cases also passed against
PostgreSQL.
- Workspace typecheck and full build passed with Node 24. A broader
local UI run passed 10,220 cases across 849 files before the final
navigation/plan review fixes; the changed components were then rechecked
in the 386-case focused run.
- Five alternating pairs compared master `12b0cc6304` with this
revision, using 200 long saved replies and 200 completed native runs.
Both production UI builds used the same loopback API/database, Chromium
151.0.7922.34, 1440 × 900, fresh browser contexts, service workers
blocked, no CPU throttle, and a controlled 3-second events/log delay.
Builds and other suites were stopped during measurement. No page errors
occurred.

| Useful conversation + editable composer | Baseline median (range) |
Fixed median (range) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Cold direct open | 3.570s (3.538–3.616s) | 1.056s (1.022–1.141s) |
| Task-list navigation | 3.373s (3.342–3.394s) | 0.899s (0.885–0.915s) |
| Back | 22ms (22–25ms) | 25ms (25–28ms) |

- Median paired savings: 2.519s cold, 2.470s from the list.
Completed-output requests: two per baseline sample, zero per fixed
sample. Recent-comments API control medians were 13.6ms for both, with
ranges 12.1–18.7ms and 11.6–50.8ms. No Back improvement is claimed; an
earlier revision's run also included one 1-second Back outlier, retained
in the local evidence.
- The full local default test command did **not** pass: it stopped on
the existing chat test line-selection error. After restoring embedded
PostgreSQL library symlinks omitted by an install with scripts disabled,
Node 24 passed 672 cases in the first two chat shards, then failed to
select the third. This is separate from the passing focused suites and
remote CI.
- Earlier CI failures were addressed: the privacy prefix collision is
fixed; the delegated task-completion reply case passed locally after
merging master's reply-recovery fix (#18465). Browser fixture
corrections retain the original behavior assertions. Red tests
reproduced the loading, navigation, resize and saved-plan regressions
before their fixes.
- Map, module-boundary, token-gate and added-line token checks passed.
The full-tree token scan still finds pre-existing active-username
fixtures; this PR adds zero forbidden token lines.
- Greptile: **5/5**, final revision, all four review threads resolved.
The final-revision PR CI workflow passed, including build, typecheck,
all server/chat/workspace test shards, all eight E2E shards, and every
Runner lane. GitHub reports 55 successful checks and three skipped
checks. The separate **Paperclip Review** check remains queued with
**Waiting for the assigned agent**; it has not produced an assessment
and has not been bypassed. The branch has no merge conflicts.

## Risks

- The default compact task omits completed transcript details when the
saved result is sufficient. The reader must open history to inspect
them.
- Required structural data remains inside the initial reveal boundary.
Slow server responses for that data remain visible latency.
- Link positioning falls back after 15 seconds when its target never
arrives. The conversation remains readable.
- The measurements use a controlled local delay. They do not establish a
deployed staging speedup.
- No API, schema, authorization, or migration changes.

DottaandPaperclip e40de0c9e8 perf(ci): refresh test weights and narrow graph dependencies (#18464)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Contributors need fast, reliable CI feedback.
> - Diff-aware CI selects test files and partitions them into runner
jobs.
> - Stale cost estimates put several slow suites on the same runner.
Broad imports also couple small tests to large modules.
> - This PR refreshes test costs, runs independent graph discovery in
parallel, and narrows three dependency boundaries.
> - Selection safeguards and CODEOWNER-only AWS routing stay in force.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18398. This follows the audit of [PR #18427's verification
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41169978784).

The audit found 403 selected general-server files without timing
weights. Three suites measured at 232s, 122s and 116s shared one shard
because each received a roughly 2s fallback weight. Local graph
discovery across four projects took 43.7s serially and 21.7s with two
workers. A reverse-order repeat took 37.7s serially and 22.6s with two
workers. Both comparisons produced identical selection results. This is
a local measurement, not a claim about production CI speed.

## What Changed

- Refresh general-server costs for 1,285 of 1,309 current files and
serialized costs for all 163 files from two successful protected-master
Cloud readiness runs. Retain prior costs for unmeasured files, including
dedicated chat and native-runner suites.
- Record passing server file costs, including collection, setup and
environment preparation. A weekly hosted workflow validates trusted
source runs and opens a timing-only PR. It tests shard coverage, pauses
while a refresh PR is open, and never merges automatically.
- Discover at most two project graphs concurrently in isolated,
heap-limited Node processes. Cache repeated inventory reads within one
selection. Worker errors and timeouts retain the full task plan.
- Fetch only the merge commit and parents for the selector. A real
shallow-clone regression proves the complete diff still includes more
than 300 files, renames and deletions.
- Share the identical log viewer and run details between both
AgentDetail pages. The viewer test imports the shared implementation and
runs each of its 13 distinct cases once.
- Extract the pure API error class while preserving the API client's
public exports. Import delivery work signals through their existing
narrow DB export.

## Verification

- PASS: `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`.
- PASS: 284 CI selection, timing, shallow-diff, sharding and routing
tests.
- PASS: 74 further cache, routing and graph-proof tests.
- PASS: 94 targeted UI assertions across the viewer, run invocation, API
errors/client and progress helpers. All 76 assertions in the 12 server
suites made independently selectable also pass.
- PASS: `pnpm check:token-gates`, module-boundary checks, YAML parsing
and `git diff --check`.
- PASS: [Full PR CI and required `ci / verify`
aggregate](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41206683345),
including all 12 general-server shards, all nine serialized shards,
workspace groups, chat suites, Runner lanes and build checks.
- PASS: [GitHub hosted real-workspace selector and cache/routing
qualification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41206683205).
- PASS: Both Greptile and Paperclip reviews are 5/5 with no actionable
findings or inline comments on `7dc65c51b8`. The PR has no merge
conflicts.
- PASS: The production refresh parser accepted all 107 structured
file-cost records from a real successful server CI job, including
setup/loading cost.
- Local `pnpm test:run` completed all six chat shards successfully. The
duplicate monolithic local run was stopped after the complete remote
suite passed; it was not completed locally.

The focused log-viewer command improved from 18.84s (26 duplicate
variant cases) to 8.49s (all 13 distinct behavior cases). The dependency
audit confirms 12 server files and the API-error test no longer need
conservative always-run retention. Repartitioning the audited PR with
the new costs changes the slowest shard from 810s to 591s of summed
historical test execution (1,124 of 1,142 files measured). This is a
workload simulation, not measured new CI wall time.

## Risks

- Two graph processes use more peak memory. Each has a 2 GiB heap limit
and a three-minute timeout. Any failure preserves the original task
plan. Real workspace qualification runs in GitHub CI.
- Historical logs contain test/hook costs only. New reporter records add
loading/setup costs after merge. The manifests identify measurement
coverage and source runs. These weights change placement, never
permission to skip tests.
- Runner load adds timing noise. The refresh uses medians and requires
at least 90% measurement coverage in each lane.
- GitHub may require approval to run checks on a PR created with
`GITHUB_TOKEN`. Refreshes remain reviewable and do not merge themselves.
- The shared viewer is a mechanical extraction. Both pages retain their
existing exports, and the behavior assertions remain covered. AWS runner
authorization is unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with repository inspection, reasoning, code
execution and GitHub tools. The exact deployment ID and context-window
size were not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip b7f1c3769c feat(native): record verified provider-pack session admission (#18469)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote native sessions can use an installed pack or a retained
earlier pack.
> - The current app revision does not identify the pack that a session
admitted.
> - Core already verifies the selected pack and binds its launch
artifacts.
> - Normal run records lack a closed receipt for that admitted
selection.
> - This pull request records that receipt after session admission and
attachment.
> - Operators can compare the actual Core admission identity with their
expected pack.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17749 for protected provider-pack selection and #18343 for
retained controller recovery. The related OpenCode producer repair is
#18456. Those changes do not publish the closed run receipt added here.
A search found no existing `nativeProviderPackAdmission` PR.

**What happened?**

Core can admit a compatible installed provider pack with a source
revision that differs from the current app. A retained session can also
keep its original pack. The normal run record does not show the admitted
pack digest, proxy digest, and source revision. An expected launch path
or current app revision cannot fill that evidence gap.

**Expected behavior**

The run has a closed, server-owned receipt after actual session
admission and attachment. The first receipt remains immutable history. A
separate current-proof state verifies only the actual current admission
epoch. Retained recovery needs positive original provenance, and missing
legacy evidence stays unknown.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Select and verify an installed pack whose digest differs from the
current app pack.
2. Open the native session successfully.
3. Inspect the normal run profile for a bound admission receipt.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The original selected base was
`8bcc5a01edd5d87540401521e6f30d3df43e1848`. The branch now includes
exact actual prerequisite parent
`3ee4c5b6138da82d0b1f51aa010540561bf43c22`; the PR diff against it is
the five receipt, executor, test and documentation files.

**Deployment mode**

Core remote native execution with provider-pack selection and retained
session attachment.

## What Changed

- Retain the verified selected pack identity only after a backend
returns the matching admitted session.
- Publish `runnerProfileJson.nativeProviderPackAdmission` from the
session callback after attachment succeeds.
- Mark the receipt with `stage: session_admitted` and `authority:
core_verified_selection`.
- Store bound company, agent, run, session, runner, logical
`runnerEnvironmentLeaseId`, pack digest, OpenCode proxy digest, and
source revision fields. Retained attachments identify
`inheritedFromRunId`. The logical Runner scope is distinct from the
physical environment lease.
- Lock the current coordinator claim before the profile write. Check
owner, attempt, generation, controller boot, lease expiry, phase, and
absence of an accepted result. Merge JSON fields without replacing other
profile data.
- Restore retained metadata only from the exact prior closed Core
receipt, positively verified prior state and matching retained binding.
Capture same-run prior provenance from the locked claim row before
invalidation; cross-run recovery reads only the exact source. Legacy
absence remains unknown while recovery continues.
- Preserve the first receipt as history. Atomically mark a new opaque
admission epoch pending in the existing mandatory claim transaction.
Publish current verification only for the matching claim and epoch after
actual attachment; changed or unsupported admission becomes unknown
without blocking authorized execution.
- Preserve synchronous session publication and quarantine ordering
before the best-effort receipt write. Fresh replacement selects its
newly verified pack; a captured retained-process flag cannot relabel the
replacement with an older pack. Preserve the existing private pack
authority even when a local dirty revision is ineligible for the closed
receipt.
- Add focused admission, recovery, identity, PostgreSQL ownership, lock,
and JSON-preservation tests. Document the receipt contract.

## Verification

- RED: the actual managed-backend path verified and admitted an
installed pack but had no closed metadata. Failed open published no
evidence. Additional controls fail when retained recovery invents
missing history or dirty-revision eligibility gates the existing private
authority.
- RED calibration: removing mandatory pending invalidation fails the
actual pre-admission control; reusing the retained flag for fresh
replacement falsely restores the old pack. Removing the epoch fence
fails the real PostgreSQL stale-callback case; reintroducing a
receipt-specific execution error fails both authorized
Runner/logical-lease replacement controls.
- GREEN: 49 focused Core tests, all 33 admission identity/transaction
tests (20 pure and 13 PostgreSQL), and all 23 existing private-authority
tests passed on exact integrated head
`165a9096cf3e0d34d2db1e6b52960ad4ac0ad132`. No all-skipped run is
counted.
- Final test-only head `11ac34baf00552a5d322b5f5f1a8e491859cacec` adds
the positive executor-callback SQL-writer wiring control, exact
session/identity/claim/epoch assertions, profile preservation, and
null-session zero-write check. Removing only the production writer call
makes it fail on a missing receipt. All70 focused identity/Core tests
pass with this closure; production code, the13 PostgreSQL tests and
the23 private-authority tests are byte-identical to the qualified165
source (106 distinct passing controls across the combined proof).
- The PostgreSQL tests used an owned loopback-only cached Postgres 17
container with the supported `PAPERCLIP_TEST_POSTGRES_ADMIN_URL` helper
and aliases to current DB/shared source. The container was removed
afterward. They cover immutable history, JSON preservation, stale claims
and epochs, expired leases, terminal runs, changed/unsupported
replacements, and a failed write retaining pending proof.
- Historical pushed `f7f12fe` CI executed all 24 earlier admission
tests, including nine PostgreSQL cases, in server5. Its warm-quarantine
failure exposed the new hook-ordering issue fixed here. The same run
also encountered a six-character UUID fixture-prefix collision and the
independently repaired cached issue-link browser selector; those
historical failures are not claimed as green.
- Node 24.22.2 and Vitest 5.0.3. The credential-free normal QA runtime
import preflight passes with networking disabled. Map contracts, token
gates and `git diff --check` pass.
- Local TypeScript validation still sees stale borrowed Runner/shared
declaration mismatches outside the changed ranges. No diagnostics remain
in the new helper or changed test/hook ranges; clean current-head CI is
required.
- Repository-wide typecheck, full tests and build were not completed
locally. A full local executor attempt reached this host's unsupported
native PostgreSQL listener and was interrupted; its result is not
counted. Canonical run `41214512239`, attempt 2, is successful on exact
final head `11ac34baf00552a5d322b5f5f1a8e491859cacec`. All 59 checks are
terminal: 55 success, 3 skipped and 1 neutral; none failed or pending.
The actual Linux suites execute all 33 admission tests (including 13
PostgreSQL cases) and all 1,022 executor tests successfully. The
[original five failures and bounded unchanged-source
controls](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18469#issuecomment-6545593767)
remain preserved. One failed-only request was made; GitHub expanded the
reusable workflow call and dependents. No second request was made. Fresh
exact-head Greptile review is 5/5, all review threads are resolved, and
the PR is mergeable.
- These local results claim no live provider admission, rollout or
recovery.

## Risks

- The authority is Core's verified selection plus successful session
admission. It is not an independent provider statement or continuous
runtime measurement.
- Receipt fields cannot grant execution or replace the existing
provider, process, lease, workspace, or recovery checks.
- Legacy missing receipts and unavailable database reads remain unknown.
The current release cannot label an older admitted pack.
- The closed receipt requires a clean, 40-character hexadecimal source
revision. Verified local `-dirty` packs still execute and retain their
existing private recovery authority; their closed admission proof stays
`unknown`, so it cannot certify an immutable source revision.
- The first receipt is historical. Consumers must require current state
`verified`; pending or unknown cannot certify the current pack. Changed
Runner scope or pack evidence does not add execution policy.
- A receipt save failure leaves the atomically invalidated state
pending. The existing artifact authority, cancellation, workspace and
process checks remain responsible for execution safety.
- The receipt adds no manifest, environment, credential, or filesystem
path to the run record.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, code editing, and tool
use. The session does not expose an exact model build ID or
context-window capacity.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 51ea624344 fix(server): reject a native run's own task status change (#18411)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs (the Paperclip Runner) report their outcome with
`paperclip_finish` or `paperclip_block`, and the status arbiter then
sets the task status
> - Every runner tool, `paperclip_finish` included, requires that the
task's `executionRunId` is the current run
> - When the run sends its own status change through `PATCH
/api/issues/{id}` (for example with `call_api`), the issue update clears
`executionRunId` and `checkoutRunId`, so the run removes its own
execution lock
> - After that, every tool call fails, the run cannot report, same-run
recovery spends its retries, and the task goes to `blocked`
> - This pull request rejects that status change with a 409 before it
commits, and the message tells the run to report with `paperclip_finish`
or `paperclip_block`
> - The benefit is that the run corrects itself in the same turn, and
the task does not get stuck

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. This is the bug description.

**What happened?**

An agent on the Paperclip Runner followed task instructions that said
"set the task to `in_review` and keep it assigned to yourself" while it
waited on a scheduled monitor. It sent `call_api` with `PATCH
/api/issues/{id}` and `{ "status": "in_review" }`. The server applied
the change and cleared the execution lock. Then:

1. `get_task`, `set_task_monitor`, and `paperclip_finish` all failed the
run binding check. The provider saw only "Paperclip semantic operation
failed", or the monitor-wait message from `paperclip_finish`.
2. The `call_api` receipt for the PATCH showed `status: null, outcome:
unknown`, because the authority check after the response failed when the
lock was gone.
3. The session ended with no semantic result. Exact-checkpoint resume
ran out of retries (`native_session_retry_exhausted`), and recovery
would not replay the run because the mutation outcome was unknown. The
task went to `blocked`.

This occurred on each check where the agent tried the status change.
Runs that did not try it completed normally.

**Expected behavior**

A native run that holds the task's execution lock cannot remove its own
lock. It gets a clear, actionable error and reports its outcome through
`paperclip_finish` or `paperclip_block`.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Assign a task to an agent that uses the Paperclip Runner (native
runtime).
2. While the run executes, have it send `call_api` with `PATCH
/api/issues/{id}` and `{ "status": "in_review" }` for its own task.
3. Look at the next tool calls of the run. They fail, `paperclip_finish`
cannot complete, and recovery blocks the task.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at 493e229d93.

## What Changed

- `server/src/routes/issues.ts`: add
`assertNativeRunKeepsOwnExecutionLock` to `PATCH /issues/:id`. The guard
returns 409 `native_run_status_reported_by_finish` when all of these are
true:
- the actor is the assigned agent, and its run is the task's execution
or checkout run
  - the run is `native` and `running`
  - the request changes the status and keeps the assignment
  - the task is not a conversation
- The 409 message names `paperclip_finish` (`needs_review`, `done`, or
`yielded` with a `monitor` continuation) and `paperclip_block`.
`call_api` returns HTTP denials as data, so the provider can read the
message.
- Conversation tasks are out of scope. A conversation turn settles from
its final reply (`nativeConversationReplyResult`), not from a runner
tool. So a reply that moves its conversation to `in_review` still
settles, and that contract stays.
- When the request also carries blockers, the guard first runs
`assertOnboardingFirstTaskDependenciesAllowed`. A blocker that the
dependency rules reject keeps its specific 400. Every other case gets
the 409, including `{ "status": "todo", "blockedByIssueIds": [] }`.
- `server/src/__tests__/issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts`:
add 14 cases. They cover rejection for `in_review`, `done`, and
`blocked` (also with an explicit self-assignment, an empty blocker list,
and a real blocker), and the onboarding 400 that wins over the 409.
Pass-through cases assert a 200, the patched status, and one update for:
other field edits, legacy runs, native runs without the lock, stopped
runs, handoffs to a human (after a confirmed stop), conversation
replies, and board users.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts`
passes (193 tests).
- With the guard disabled, the 4 rejection cases fail. With the `native`
runtime condition removed, the legacy pass-through case fails. The tests
pin both sides.
- `chat-project-tools` and `onboarding-first-task-admission` pass (74
tests). These are the integration suites that caught the first version
of the guard in CI.
- `npx vitest run` on `issue-queued-comments-routes`,
`task-workspace-binding`, and `issue-recovery-actions` together with the
ownership suite passes (455 tests).
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` is clean after `pnpm
--filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner build`.

## Risks

- Behavior changes only for native runs that change the status of the
task whose execution lock they hold. That change always stranded the run
before this PR, so no working flow depends on it.
- Legacy adapters, board users, agent handoffs or reassignments, and
conversation tasks do not change.
- Other validation errors that run later (in the service update) are
replaced by the 409 for these requests. Each request is still rejected,
and the 409 points the run to `paperclip_finish` or `paperclip_block`.
The onboarding parent-blocker error keeps its 400, because the guard
runs that check first.
- If a request names the current assignee with a reference that is not
its id, the guard does not apply, and the request follows the earlier
rules.
- No migration.

Related gaps this PR does not change:
- The authority check after the response turns a committed mutation into
`outcome: unknown`.
- The runner hides tool binding errors as "Paperclip semantic operation
failed".
- The `paperclip_finish` monitor-wait error does not say that the run
lost its lock.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, in Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits, test runs). It did the root-cause analysis
from run events and the activity log, wrote the code and tests, and ran
local verification.

Dotta 12b0cc6304 fix(chat): recover committed native Agent Chat replies (#18465)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and keeps its results available to
users.
> - Agent Chat needs a visible reply before the conversation can wait
for more input.
> - Native result commitment and reply presentation are separate
obligations.
> - A completed conversation can retain a valid final message without a
saved reply.
> - Existing reply recovery excludes these completed conversation turns.
> - This pull request repairs that persistence gap through the existing
recovery worker.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native Agent Chat turn completed successfully and saved its workspace.
Its accepted result and final assistant message were durable, but no
reply appeared in the conversation. The chat stayed active. The
deployment hiring journey in #18351 then reached its deadline while
waiting for the first reply.

**Expected behavior**

Recover the exact accepted turn's final reply once, then use normal
conversation settlement. Keep later user input active. Do not run the
agent again or replace a selected or deleted reply.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create an active conversation with one admitted native turn.
2. Commit an accepted DONE result and a final-channel assistant message
for that exact run, session and turn.
3. Finish workspace finalization before live heartbeat reply
presentation. Leave no saved reply.
4. Run normal response recovery. Before this fix it finds no
conversation candidate and leaves the chat active.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced with actual services at frozen master
`8bcc5a01edd5d87540401521e6f30d3df43e1848`. The production predicate
also exists in the deployed revision that exposed the failure.

Related work: #18351. The broader receipt and recovery work in #18118
and #18409 does not touch these source files.

## What Changed

- Discover unanswered committed Agent Chat turns through the existing
native response presentation worker.
- Recheck company, agent, responsible user, current execution and
conversation generation under the normal transaction locks.
- Require the accepted result digest and an exact final message from the
same native run, session and accepted turn. Keep external publication
authority separate.
- Commit the reply and presentation receipt before normal conversation
settlement. Later input stays active. Recovery does not repeat agent
work.
- Preserve skip decisions and selected or deleted replies. Add database
controls for foreign identity, stale sessions, partial commitment,
duplicates and ordinary internal task behavior.
- Document the recovery boundary in the developer guide.

## Verification

- Real-service RED/GREEN uses all 418 canonical migrations in isolated
PGlite and the exact new regression fixture. Before the fix: zero
candidates, no reply, recovery returns false and the chat stays active.
After the fix: one candidate, one exact reply, recovery returns true and
the chat waits. A repeat returns false and creates no second reply.
- All 20 canonical regression cases pass locally through a fixture-only
PGlite bridge. Only local database provisioning and `createDb` selection
differ from the normal embedded PostgreSQL fixture. Production services,
SQL queries, transactions, protocol validation and assertions remain
real. Linux embedded PostgreSQL CI is required before merge.
- Focused current-source no-emit typing passes for both production
modules and the new regression file, with normal Express augmentation
and source aliases. The broader local presentation/ownership and
conversation-settlement PGlite bridge run was interrupted before it
reported results; it is not counted as a pass. No repository-wide local
build is claimed from borrowed workspace dependencies. Clean-build CI
and canonical PostgreSQL consumer tests remain required.
- `git diff --check` and the scoped source/test secret scan pass. No
captured run data, credentials or private target identities are
committed.
- No live journey retry, deployment, configuration change or test-plan
admission was performed. The original failed journey remains failed;
this production fix still needs deployed qualification through the
unchanged journey.

- Current-head [canonical Linux
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41207018345)
passed all 57 terminal checks with no failure or pending check. The new
20-case database regression actually passed in [server shard
8](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41207018345/job/124555006090),
at 13:59:25 UTC (2,643 ms). Typecheck, build and the existing consumer
lanes passed. Fresh [Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18465#issuecomment-6544208002)
on exact `f32a432e10b377ae6277d6f728995d5fedcf9d7b` is 5/5; the
review-thread inventory is empty with no pagination. No live deployment
or journey pass is claimed by these checks.

## Risks

Eligible active conversations can gain a previously missing reply.
Recovery accepts only the exact saved final message under its accepted
result and current conversation identity. It does not run a model,
repeat hiring or change a prior test grade. Reply persistence precedes
waiting-state settlement; existing conversation recovery retains
ownership of a later interrupted settlement. No schema or public API
changes are included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The session does not expose a more specific
backend model ID or fixed context window. Used reasoning, repository
tools, TypeScript and real database test execution.

DottaandPaperclip 12d8c3043e fix(native): fence retries when replaying an audited Stop (#18457)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs keep Stop intent and retry state in durable records.
> - A provider error can leave a failed retry with an earlier
acknowledged Stop.
> - The replay path returned the existing receipt before it closed that
retry.
> - This pull request applies the existing retry fence to the validated
replay.
> - The same Stop can settle without another provider cancellation or a
new receipt.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14733 for the related caller-bound Stop contract. This change
covers a later retry that already has a Stop acknowledgement. The older
CI-only #14743 is not a production delivery PR.

**What happened?**

A failed native run can have a retryable coordinator and an earlier
audited Stop. A repeat Stop returns the old acknowledgement without
moving the coordinator to `terminal_failure`. The final
failed-to-cancelled transition requires that fence, so the Stop cannot
settle through that path.

**Expected behavior**

A valid replay closes the same retry and keeps the original intent and
acknowledgement. It does not send a second provider cancellation.
Physical stop and workspace cleanup still require their own evidence.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Store a failed native run with a `retryable_failure` coordinator.
2. Store a matching run-scoped Stop with a dispatched acknowledgement
and audit IDs.
3. Call `cancelNativeSession` for that same run and inspect the
coordinator.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on public master `f2db909393de124caf6a5380a52d4e0e1d621661`.

**Deployment mode**

Core native execution. The regression uses the real cancellation
executor with controlled persistence and provider boundaries.

## What Changed

- Reuse the existing guarded coordinator fence for a validated Stop
replay.
- Test repeated replay, unchanged receipts, one fence, and no second
provider cancellation.
- Reject foreign company, run, issue, scope, effect, and missing-audit
receipts before any write.
- Check that an acknowledged Stop with an unconfirmed remote lease still
fails the physical-stop guard.
- Document the separate retry fence and physical-cleanup requirements.

## Verification

- RED on the selected public base: the new executor case returned
success but left the coordinator in `retryable_failure` with a future
retry. One case executed and failed for that assertion.
- GREEN: 62 focused tests passed across
`native-session-executor.test.ts` and
`native-cancellation-request.test.ts`. These include ownership, caller
conflict, changed-phase, and receipt controls.
- Command from `server/`: `node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-cancellation-request.test.ts -t
'native session cancellation|caller-bound native cancellation|failed
native retry caller admission'`.
- Canonical Linux CI passed all 1,018 executor cases and all 32
caller-cancellation cases. The exact file completion lines are in
[server shard
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41203989386/job/124545366271)
and [server shard
10](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41203989386/job/124545366219).
- Node 24.22.2 and Vitest 5.0.3. Map contract checks and `git diff
--check` pass.
- Local dependencies are linked from an existing checkout. Full local
TypeScript validation reports older Runner/shared declarations that lack
current Kimi and continuity APIs. The changed ranges have no
diagnostics. The canonical clean CI Typecheck + Release Registry gate
passed.
- A broader two-file run was stopped when an unchanged integration case
tried to start embedded Postgres and hit the host listen restriction. It
is not a passing full-suite result. No host settings or other services
were changed.
- Repository-wide `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm test:run`, and `pnpm build`
were not completed locally. Current-head CI passed against clean source
and dependencies.
- Fresh [Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18457#issuecomment-6543772487)
on `dbc1c1a5b71450194d568725592969660864cb5a`: 5/5 with no actionable
findings. The review-thread inventory has no threads and no pagination.
Full [current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41203989386)
passed: 59 terminal checks, 55 successful, 3 skipped, and 1 neutral. No
failure or pending check remains. Merge status is CLEAN. No live
recovery, rollout, or physical termination is claimed.

## Risks

- A wrong or stale Stop must not close another retry. Existing
run/coordinator locks, caller checks, receipt binding, and the final
compare-and-set remain in place.
- This fix changes logical retry settlement only. Provider termination,
workspace preservation, lease cleanup, and continuation gates remain
separate.
- The regression controls persistence and provider boundaries. It does
not establish the physical state of a remote provider.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, code editing, and tool
use. The session does not expose an exact model build ID or
context-window capacity.

DottaandPaperclip c2971badde perf(server): recover independent native replies concurrently (#18421)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work for AI agents.
> - A native run can commit its result before its reply is saved.
> - The response recovery worker saves replies from those committed
results.
> - It checks each candidate in series, so one task can delay unrelated
tasks.
> - This pull request checks up to four independent tasks at once.
> - Each task keeps serial checks, and the existing coordinator owns
retries and shutdown.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Recovery of committed native task replies.

**Current behavior**

The worker checks one candidate at a time in a batch of up to 25. A
database lock or a slow read for one task delays replies for other
tasks.

**Proposed behavior**

Check up to four company-and-task groups at once. Check candidates
within each group in their existing order. Keep the current batch limit
and company selection.

**Reason and benefit**

A ready task reply can be saved while another task waits for a database
lock. The change reduces waiting under a reply backlog.

**Breaking changes**

Replies for different tasks can be saved in a different order. There are
no API or schema changes. Other deadline workers keep serial dispatch.

Related work: #17696 adds the recovery worker. #17501 reduces its read
payloads. #18367 adds its timing spans. These changes are already
merged. The PR search found no open change that adds this concurrency.

## What Changed

- Add optional keyed concurrency to the shared scoped deadline worker.
- Enable a limit of four for native response recovery, keyed by company
and task.
- Await all active checks before the pass ends. Retain per-candidate
failure backoff, drain behavior and pending work.
- Test concurrency limits, task order, company separation, drain/resume,
shutdown, retries and idle wake behavior.
- Add a PostgreSQL regression that holds one task's finalization row
lock while a second task saves its exact accepted reply.
- Document the worker's concurrency and sleep contract.

## Verification

- The PostgreSQL lock regression fails with serial dispatch. It passes
with this change. Both accepted replies are saved once after the lock is
released.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/scoped-deadline-work.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/delivery-work-coordinator.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-work-batch.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/deadline-work.test.ts
server/src/services/execution-preparation-timing.test.ts` — 55 tests
pass.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/presentation-ownership-read.test.ts` with its
documented dedicated PostgreSQL URL — 21 tests pass. The disposable
database was dropped.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passes.
- `pnpm build` — passes.
- One matched local replay with 25 older pending replies and one fresh
reply used the real worker, a 10-connection PostgreSQL pool and 8 ms
delay in each network direction. The saved fresh reply was first
observed after 29.193 s with serial dispatch and 9.798 s with this
change. All 26 replies were saved exactly once in both runs, with no
worker errors. Both disposable databases were dropped. This is one
synthetic workload pair, not a staging measurement.
- `pnpm test:run` was attempted. Embedded PostgreSQL could not
initialize its template after five attempts, so the broad run was
stopped. The changed PostgreSQL tests pass on the separate local server.
Remote CI is green. This PR does not claim a measured staging speedup.

- The [first CI browser
shard](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41162257463/job/124422204506)
failed during company cleanup after its task assertions and empty-run
check passed. Company deletion hit the
`activity_log_company_id_companies_id_fk` constraint. The fixture uses
paused process agents and reported no runs. The one failed-jobs rerun
passed all 45 browser tests. All CI checks are now green.

## Risks

- Four checks can use more database connections than serial recovery.
The limit applies to this queue only; the batch limit stays at 25.
- The shared helper has more dispatch logic. Its default remains serial.
Tests cover task order, retry deadlines, drain and waiting for active
checks during shutdown.
- This improves reply recovery under backlog or lock contention. It does
not establish a target for total agent-turn latency.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with code editing, tool use and local test
execution. This session does not expose a more specific model ID or
context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip d5766e4074 perf(chat): scope task questions and batch inbox queue checks (#18422)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Standing chats show recent messages and current task questions.
> - Recent-message pagination bounds history work, but it does not bound
question work.
> - The question read built the full company attention feed before it
selected the chat's tasks.
> - Each feed read also checked seeded queue membership with one insert
per item.
> - This pull request scopes question collection in the attention owner
and batches queue membership checks.
> - Chats keep their current question cards and initial layout while
doing less work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Follow-up to #18358 and #18323. Related work: #18312.

**What happened?**

A hosted standing chat remained slow after recent-message pagination
shipped. On commit `4eaa435bf4`, an embedded-browser reload made the
conversation usable at about 8.6 seconds. Recent comments finished at
about 1.9 seconds. The pending-question request held the initial reveal
until about 8.4 seconds. That request called the complete company
attention feed and then filtered its results. The separate badge summary
also did broad work.

**Expected behavior**

Chat question cost should depend on the relevant tasks. Reading an
existing queue must not require a separate insert for every member.
Current access and decision policy must remain in force.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a standing chat with questions on tasks assigned to its agent.
2. Add many unrelated tasks and pending questions to the company.
3. Open the chat from a fresh application cache.
4. Compare recent-comment arrival with the pending-question response and
content reveal.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Baseline: `909e29dd071b1aeeb24c2933af049da90a6066d3`. Its affected
services match the observed hosted revision `4eaa435bf4`.

## What Changed

- Add an internal task-question projection to the attention service.
Filter pending interactions by company, task IDs and question kind
before card enrichment.
- Keep the same access, audience, dismissal, queue, snooze, retention,
archive and training-example logic. Ranks are local to the returned
question list.
- Use the projection from the conversation receipt service. Keep current
chat audience and session checks there.
- Batch seeded membership inserts in groups of 500. Keep the queue lock,
conflict protection, audit events and activity logging for each new
membership. Existing members produce no new audit records.
- Add real PostgreSQL regression cases and a reproducible paired
benchmark. No schema migration or UI reveal change is needed.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed. The final server typecheck also passed
after the queue change.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- Real PostgreSQL service coverage: 57 attention and chat-handoff tests
passed. Seven queue-route tests passed, including concurrent reads,
mixed existing/new items, duplicates, disabled seeds and audit
preservation.
- Red/green proof: the unrelated-attention regression fails with the
baseline conversation implementation and passes with the scoped read.
- `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs` and `git diff --check`
passed.
- Full `pnpm test:run` was attempted and stopped with exit 130 after
embedded PostgreSQL startup failures and 17 failures in the untouched
native-session executor suite. It is not a local pass. The focused
Docker/PostgreSQL results above completed before Docker Desktop became
unavailable. A direct native PostgreSQL probe identified the host
semaphore limit (`could not create semaphores: No space left on
device`). No shared kernel settings or other test clusters were changed.
[Full
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41162314995)
passed on `2809f096b3fb2c01b44a96a1b82a27809c9359df`, including all
eight browser shards. Final status: 55 successful checks/statuses, three
skipped and one neutral. Greptile is 5/5 with no findings or unresolved
threads. The fresh local browser retest is blocked because Docker
Desktop cannot start and native PostgreSQL cannot allocate semaphores.
The original hosted reproduction above is complete; no candidate browser
pass is claimed.

Local service benchmark: PostgreSQL 17.11, two relevant tasks, five
alternating pairs per scenario, after warmup. These are local service
timings, not a claim about deployed latency.

| Fixture | Read | Baseline median (range) | Candidate median (range) |
SQL calls |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1,000 unrelated tasks/questions | Chat questions | 670 ms (632–1,905)
| 12 ms (11–15) | 1,076 → 22 |
| 1,000 unrelated tasks/questions | Company badge summary | 641 ms
(622–717) | 167 ms (161–171) | 1,068 → 69 |
| Small company | Chat questions | 38 ms (37–52) | 13 ms (12–16) | 52 →
22 |
| Small company | Company badge summary | 34 ms (33–39) | 34 ms (32–40)
| 44 → 43 |

All question fields and ordering matched, except rank is relative to the
scoped list. Summary fields matched except the generation timestamp. The
interaction plan changed from 1,002 selected rows to two rows through
the existing company/issue/status index. The benchmark loads baseline
attention, conversation and queue modules together so the queue change
cannot contaminate the baseline.

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx ../scripts/benchmark-chat-questions.ts \
  --baseline-ref=909e29dd07 --unrelated=1000
```

## Risks

- Scoped and complete feeds must share policy. This change reuses the
same attention collection and finalization path and tests dismissals,
named audiences, snoozing, archives and private access.
- Batched inserts must audit only new members. The concurrent PostgreSQL
test checks unique membership and one event/activity record per new item
across batch boundaries.
- Full inbox summaries still collect the company feed. The small-company
summary timing is unchanged. Other chat requests and transcript
hydration can still contribute to hosted latency.
- The first reveal still waits for question cards to preserve layout.
This follow-up has not been deployed, so its hosted effect remains
unverified.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 492d537340 fix(native): recover controllers across webserver replacement (#18343)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native execution runs in a remote Runner while the webserver owns
its controller.
> - Encrypted PRP checkpoints and session snapshots already survive a
webserver restart in Postgres.
> - Ordinary warm and per-turn admission still needs local markers and
supervisor metadata to find that state.
> - Replacing the webserver with an empty native controller directory
can therefore lose a usable retained session.
> - This change adds bounded recovery metadata to the existing snapshot
transaction and reconstructs local projections from the selected durable
source.
> - The benefit is native execution continuity across webserver
replacement, with the existing ownership and agent lifecycle policies.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Native remote controller recovery and retained-session continuation
during a webserver upgrade.

**Subsystem affected**

server/ — native runtime, checkpoint persistence, recovery scheduling
and internal upgrade reporting. Product E2E qualification also changes.

**Current behavior**

Without both the local PRP marker and supervisor file, normal
continuation can return before discovering the saved Postgres
checkpoint. The snapshot already exists in Postgres, but its local reuse
compatibility envelope cannot be reconstructed.

**Proposed behavior**

Select the existing durable source, validate its identity and ownership,
restore its PRP state and supervisor projection, then use normal
authenticated admission. Missing or inconsistent evidence holds
recovery. It does not authorize fresh provider work.

**Reason and benefit**

A replacement webserver must recover active execution and later continue
its retained session without the old server's native files. This is one
component of deployment continuity. HTTP traffic switching, workspace
storage migration and Railway rollout remain separate.

**Breaking changes**

No new public endpoint, schema migration or database pool. The private
run-profile envelope is additive. Disk-independent rollback also
requires a reader for the staged controller format and compact
checkpoint part; the first production release containing these readers
is the floor. Older file-backed sessions need an owner checkpoint or the
bounded internal importer.

**Additional context**

Related foundations: #17401, #17916, #17254, #14621, #14622. The
implementation contract and open acceptance gates are in [the dated
plan](doc/plans/2026-10-30-native-controller-checkpoints.md).

## What Changed

- Persist a versioned recovery envelope, at most 4 KiB, beside the
redacted session snapshot in its existing transaction. Keep it out of
public run projections.
- Compare frozen admission separately from prepared attachment
instructions during staged recovery, preserving exact
template/identity/authority checks.
- Bound the existing lazy checkpoint pool at three connections after
measured two-slot burst backlog; keep request/renewal capacities and SQL
operation counts unchanged. The tuning is a separate commit.
- Discover and restore the exact selected retained source without local
native markers. Preserve the 32-candidate window, progress barriers and
current authority checks.
- Fence snapshot and result writes. Acquire coordinator, issue and run
locks in order and check expiry after lock waits. Combine snapshot
ownership/read work into one statement.
- Reuse existing recovery deadlines and drain/resume scheduling.
Retained-owner waits preserve the original unstarted run and actual
lease deadline. Stop, ownership and provider-progress fences precede
deferral. Add bounded native evidence reporting, retained-source import
and retention protection.
- Admit a settled warm source with an authenticated idle goal-read
suffix while retaining active-work and mixed-authority holds.
- Permit lifecycle `turn.stop` checkpoints after accepted results under
existing ownership fences. Claim the existing successor coordinator
before retiring the old warm session, and stage shared attachments only
after verified retirement. Preserve omitted isolated-home defaults and
existing fresh skill-selection order during recovery without hiding real
configuration changes.
- Carry the exact durable six-field PRP binding during active recovery
after a healthy warm handoff. Keep the Runner mismatch guard and
preserve opaque attachment IDs.
- Preserve an already verified active or idle warm process during remote
preparation; revalidate its proof/liveness and retain later
authenticated PRP attachment. Ordinary resumed leases retain suspension
checks.
- Drain retained source events under their original authority, reconcile
immutable source accounting and block unknown source tool dispatch
before target work.
- Persist compact staged handoff intent through authenticated adoption
and recover direct/listener command-loss windows without another Runner
or duplicate attachment.
- Rebuild suspended lifecycle receipts for resumed prepared tasks, and
retry missing lifecycle reads after partial PRP materialization without
overwriting contradictory evidence.
- Add normal warm/per-turn diskless continuation coverage, real Postgres
races and SQL-cost checks. Add a reproducible paired load workload.
- Give only the explicit outage fixture a 15-minute provider idle
window, with a red/green catalog regression preserving all production
timing and lifecycle policies.
- Publish the goal-less task-session pointer in the existing
post-acceptance terminal checkpoint transaction, with current ownership,
accepted-result, reset and newer-progress fences. Keep a private bound
receipt so late completion cannot duplicate or resurrect publication.
- Use a retained warm sandbox in the dedicated continuity fixture, and
accept an exact output token followed by an explanation. Keep the strict
identity oracle.
- Extend the explicit Daytona cell to a five-minute active outage and
another replacement after completion. Require retained provider
identity, a new tool receipt and a useful follow-up result. Add an owned
loopback Postgres E2E fixture for hosts that cannot start embedded
Postgres.

## Verification

**Merge recommendation — `fc68584ce6231a02e47ecd743f55b036ccea034f`:
ready for the qualified native-controller component.** Full CI, fresh
review, local application paths, controlled performance qualification
and the strict live Linux/Daytona case pass. Independent resource
cleanup is complete. Broader rollout, browser reconnection and the
unexecuted transport/platform combinations remain integration gates.
Integrated 484 passed full local recursive typecheck/build and ordinary
active→completion→cache-loss→C component qualification. Fresh review
then found a valid attached-wake failure: preparation appends attachment
instructions before the verifier compares execution to the frozen
admission. 9f4 fixes that by separately checking the pre-preparation
admission and exact prepared execution. Both hashes are captured
privately per admission; the full template, identity, configuration and
authority checks remain. Its regression fails before the fix; 36 focused
cases, 42 staged source/target cases and server typecheck pass
afterward. The review thread is resolved. Exact-head full CI passes
([run
41168228822](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41168228822):
48 successful jobs, one intended skip); the complete `pnpm test:run`
partitions are forced, with the five native suites in the Runner lane.
This is not a claim that an unsharded local command passed. The fresh
exact-head Greptile check succeeds with 5/5 and all six threads
resolved.

The original two-connection database comparison closes **steady PASS and
burst FAIL**. Every relative CPU/WAL/request-p99 gate passes and all
operations/ownership remain correct, but candidate arm 3 drains in
1,015.99 ms and baseline arm 4 in 1,059.67 ms against the unchanged
1,000 ms absolute gate. Those results remain failed. A separate 2→3→4→2
diagnostic reproduces drain times 1,051.57 / 956.79 / 882.02 / 1,065.72
ms: three is the smallest tested passing cap, and the repeated two-cap
failure survives run-order/cache effects.

Separately reviewable `fc68584ce6` changes the existing lazy checkpoint
pool default to three connections. Request capacity stays ten and
liveness two; idle release, shutdown fencing, transaction counts and
pool count are unchanged. Thirteen DB lifecycle/cap tests and DB
typecheck pass. Full recursive typecheck/build pass at exact fc68584,
with the matching server build stamp. The final paired native
feature-cost comparison explicitly uses the **same cap-three policy and
common current DB factory in both variants**; its baseline is
controlled, not the unmodified historical cap-two configuration.
Original gates and workload counts remain unchanged. The one strict
Linux/Daytona case started at 04:40:56 UTC only after both new profiles
passed; it passed on the first attempt with all 49 workflow checks.
Independent cleanup confirms all three owned sandboxes absent, owned
Postgres/controllers/observer gone, VM terminated, root volume absent
and ephemeral SSH key/agent removed.

**Final controlled cap-three qualification: PASS.** Baseline native
implementation `59da15066a` and candidate `fc68584ce6` use the same
current DB factory and checkpoint policy (request/liveness/checkpoint =
10/2/3). Eight 65-second ABBA arms cover 300 controllers and 10,000
historical tasks. All correctness, absolute and 10% relative gates pass;
original cap-two failures remain unchanged.

| Mode | DB CPU µs/op, baseline → candidate | WAL B/op, baseline →
candidate | DB-request p99 ms, baseline → candidate | Maximum drain |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Steady | 542.40 → 554.83 (+2.29%) | 1509.01 → 1558.27 (+3.26%) |
107.11 → 111.90 (+4.48%) | 26.35 ms |
| Burst | 1036.36 → 1063.11 (+2.58%) | 4153.12 → 4317.64 (+3.96%) |
103.736 → 103.841 (+0.10%) | 930.14 ms |

Every matched arm preserves operation/statement/transaction counts,
including 3,900 PRP and 3,900 snapshot transactions. All three actual
pools are included; there are zero lost owners, missed lease deadlines,
dropped operations or errors. Peak Postgres CPU is 18.31%/9.47% of two
cores and memory 614.29/684.42 MiB (steady/burst). The benchmark uses
one Node process simulating 300 controllers; it does not qualify
two-webserver overlap, HTTP latency or hosted capacity. Its observer SQL
contributes to measured database CPU. The original unmodified cap-two
baseline is separately retained as failed; this cap-three comparison is
explicitly controlled.

The exact final-source 8/512/8,192-chunk test also passes: zero recovery
SQL, transactions or changed rows in each text-only interval, zero idle
SQL, seven lifecycle transactions and twelve changed rows per sample.
Existing lease traffic remains separate. The final ordinary managed
application replay passes active recovery, completion, native-cache
removal and C continuation; its UNKNOWN local debug-daemon provenance
and partial instruction-observer limits remain recorded. The live case
uses the attested Linux producer instead.


**Live qualification: PASS, one attempt, no retries.** Campaign
`native-controller-retained-fix-fc68584ce6-ec2-20261031T044055Z` started
04:40:56 UTC on the exact final Linux webserver source; suite definition
hash `12f9bb97823c1537e43f0398e7cddf39890f77bce7b413ca4dfd944f4a30e5d5`.
The existing immutable image and attested Bookworm Runner artifact are
unchanged.

- A was SIGKILLed and its native cache discarded. B started after
300,149 ms, naturally acquired generation 2, authenticated at 316,624 ms
and resumed at 317,682 ms within the original 420,000 ms grace. The same
active run, Runner, provider PID/start fingerprint and one
submitted/started/accepted turn were preserved; one final
result/terminal and workspace finalization completed, with no
retry/recovery action.
- After active and queued completion, B was SIGKILLed and its native
cache discarded again. C received exactly one ordinary task-comment API
follow-up, completed a new tool and produced a useful reply while
preserving native/provider/Runner identities. This closes the earlier
failed post-C gate. A separate C OS-process PID field was not exported;
the physical-PID proof is specifically A→B.
- Four distinct results were accepted and published; all four
finalizations committed at attempt 1, all four accounting-v2 projections
settled, and the task-session pointer advanced to C. The coordinator
independently checked these facts and all 49 canonical checks against
the sanitized receipts.
- Canonical cleanup passed and independent checks confirmed three exact
sandbox 404s plus complete inventory/zero owned remnants, no owned PG or
controller/observer processes, EC2 terminated, root volume absent, and
the ephemeral SSH key/agent removed by 04:54:25 UTC.

Live scope is classic remote Codex warm continuity with non-native
storage dependencies available. Prepared-task completed B→C, full
per-turn application disk loss, browser reconnection, two-server load
and overall Railway/HTTP continuity were not live-qualified here.
Earlier failed campaigns and the original cap-two burst failure remain
failed historical evidence. A report-renderer cache setup failure was
preserved; the normal sanitizer subsequently succeeded with an explicit
cache path and a new output directory, without changing validators.


The repair keeps retained events under their original six-field
authority until persistence and accounting accept them. Unknown semantic
effects stay unresolved. A compact staged target survives source
bootstrap, cached-command delivery and authenticated handoff, including
an uncertain commit response. Direct and same-guest-listener recovery
require the verified original Runner and the exact endpoint. Target
snapshot publication marks readiness in memory, with retirement
coalesced into an existing command write. Headers contain only the
staged descriptor/digest; a prequeue template is written once as a
changed checkpoint part and then recovered from the existing
command/receipt. No second session snapshot transaction, streaming SQL
path, new pool or recurring idle scan is added.

| Current repair gate | Evidence and scope |
| --- | --- |
| Source-tail regression | Real Runner protocol RED reproduced
attachment rejection. Frozen core/transport pass five source-tail cases:
source usage attribution, held persistence/no premature ACK, lost commit
response plus cache loss, unknown semantic hold and accounting rejection
hold. |
| Handoff loss windows | Direct and listener modes pass
queued/prepared/activated/completed boundaries (eight cells), preserving
the actual Runner/provider process. Missing adoption proof and changed
endpoints reject recovery. |
| Compact storage | A 31 KiB attachment grant writes its separate part
once, leaves it unchanged across source snapshots and removes it at
queueing. Headers do not duplicate the grant. |
| Accounting | 21 real-Postgres usage tests and 19 source-binding tests
pass. Recovery hydrates immutable source receipts without resetting
their producer or billing classification; conflicting/incomplete usage
holds. |
| Admission and malformed evidence | Driver 16, staged evidence 42,
restart classifier 27 and source usage 19 focused cases pass. Four
malformed-file regressions pass at d6a7, whose executor is
byte-identical at 484, and server typecheck passes. Full executor file:
990 pass; 16 embedded-Postgres `initdb` setup failures before
assertions, retained separately. |
| Required checks | Exact fc68584 recursive typecheck and build pass
locally, with matching server stamp. Forced full CI succeeds (48 jobs
pass, one intended skip); all PR checks are clean. Maps/token gates pass
for their unchanged source surfaces. Fresh exact-head Greptile is 5/5,
all six threads resolved. |
| Ordinary application path | Exact fc68584 managed component passes
active recovery after natural expiry, completion, native-cache loss and
ordinary C continuation. Production bytes match before/after; temporary
fixtures restored and owned DB/services cleaned. UNKNOWN local
debug-daemon/partial instruction-observer limits remain; the separate
live case uses the attested Linux producer. |
| Producer | Locked Bookworm build from exact 5b7 Rust tree
d03e494217, equal to final fc68584 Rust
source. SHA-256
65b8f8cfdd6099e9ad24f1ca154e8a260777269cc82f6e23c6e6a180c531eaaf;
38,515,328 bytes. Actual Debian 12 execution and live admission pass.
Controller/admission/DB changes do not relabel the producer source. |
| Historical cap-two comparison | Exact 59da baseline vs 5b7 candidate,
300 controllers/10,000 history, ABBA 4×65 s per mode, all three actual
pools and real snapshots. Steady CPU/op 541.36→554.64 µs (+2.45%);
WAL/op 1512.13→1560.99 B (+3.23%); DB-request p99 102.78→105.99 ms
(+3.12%): PASS. Burst CPU/op +4.71%, WAL/op +5.29%, p99 −0.10% pass
relative gates, but absolute drains above fail. Identical operation/SQL
counts, zero lost leases/drops/errors. One Node process simulates 300
controllers; this does not qualify two-webserver overlap or HTTP
capacity. |
| Live acceptance | Strict final-source Linux classic Codex case passes
1/1 on attempt 1, all 49 checks. Active recovery within grace and useful
retained C continuation succeed; four
accepted/published/committed/settled outcomes. Independent provider,
PG/process, VM/root and SSH cleanup complete. Prepared/task and broader
rollout limits are explicit above. |

**Historical qualification snapshot through `9eb9ac6`.** The head at
this snapshot was `9eb9ac6f9e312f3ebe8040f5a7565e88ae8824f3`. Server and
Runner package sources are byte-identical to `283e05ffaa`; the two later
commits change the explicitly scoped qualification and its documentation
only. It includes master through the storage-owner fix
`45a3a92e6dc52d20923b9aa34a22fee2ec5443f9` (#18357). At that snapshot,
CI/review passed but the strict post-C native recovery gate failed; the
PR stayed draft and required another native repair. Prior `39a4343` CI
and review passed, but its full live workflow failed; that grade remains
unchanged. The first repaired `435ccd2` live attempt failed before any
injected outage. It exposed a legitimate terminal snapshot before result
acceptance; no accepted result ID or publication receipt was observed.
Its canonical report remains 0/1 `candidate_failure`, with cleanup
passed and independent provider absence confirmed. `0862062` defers
publication until result acceptance and fixes the fresh review's
coordinator/issue lock-order finding. Both failures have deterministic
real-Postgres regressions. The `0862062` live attempt then proved
accepted-result publication but failed active recovery: a resumed-lease
preparation guard demanded suspension after the exact live Runner was
already verified for adoption. `64c0b746` preserves that verified
active/idle-warm process, revalidates its proof/liveness, and keeps
ordinary suspension checks and later PRP authentication. Its live run
passed preparation but exposed a second active-warm boundary: all
durable binding fields matched except opaque turn/item attachment IDs,
which the server had regenerated. `7a203274` carries the complete
verified six-field binding and keeps the strict Runner mismatch guard.
Its cloud case then passed active adoption, completion, publication and
accounting. The queued continuation exposed accepted-result retirement
writes and an implicit-home fingerprint drift; both are fixed with
deterministic regressions in `39a4343` before this fresh full
qualification.

The prior live case exposed a real publication gap. A goal-less native
turn could persist its accepted result and terminal snapshot before
provider cleanup, while the task-session pointer was still empty. Normal
later admission then selected a fresh session. The fix publishes that
pointer and a private bound receipt in the **existing post-acceptance
terminal checkpoint transaction**, before cleanup. Earlier terminal
observations persist without a handled receipt or continuation pointer.
No result-acceptance or snapshot transaction was added. The late
completion path recognizes the receipt. This also prevents a late
callback from restoring a pointer after a user reset. Goal/control
publication keeps its existing owner.

The dedicated Daytona fixture now uses the existing warm/reusable
environment. Its sandbox, Runner and provider storage must survive. The
former generic per-turn fixture disposed the sandbox after completion
and kept provider-history backup bytes under the discarded directory.
Whole per-turn disk-loss acceptance therefore has a separate
provider-backup storage dependency. It remains distinct from the passing
native per-turn component checks with backup storage available. The
60-second lease, 300-second outage and 420-second grace are unchanged.

| Gate | Current repair evidence |
| --- | --- |
| Assembled regression | Baseline fails with an accepted result and
terminal snapshot but a NULL task pointer while real provider cleanup is
held. The fix passes normal continuation and reset cases, with no
pointer seeding. Exact merged `92b7447` passed 2/2 twice, including
after normal package TypeScript output refresh. Production files are
byte-identical at frozen `435ccd2`. |
| Persistence and concurrency | 19 helper/transaction cases and all 59
existing control-port cases pass on `0862062`. They cover bound result
IDs, reset/newer epochs, Stop, lock waits and expiry, receipt replay,
missing stubs, foreign bindings and atomic 4 KiB rollback. Existing
snapshot transaction count stays one. The new tests reproduce the exact
live missing-result-ID error and the inverse replay/status lock order
against `435ccd2`, then pass after the correction. Replayed results
still reject stale generations. |
| Completion | All 32 completion-boundary tests pass on merged
`92b7447`; the source is unchanged at `435ccd2`. Native result-shaped
session metadata is preserved. |
| Qualification fixture | A valid review report reproduced three
rejected correct replies. Exact token-boundary matching fixes them. 140
focused E2E/catalog cases and Product E2E typecheck pass. Wrong tokens,
marker prefixes/suffixes and wrong authors remain rejected;
retained-identity checks are unchanged. |
| Required checks | Full recursive typecheck and standard build passed
at `435ccd2`. Both exact commands also passed on `0862062`, with its
exact server build stamp; both also pass on `7a203274`, with its exact
server build stamp. Fresh `0862062` Greptile passed 5/5, with zero
unresolved threads. The `64c0b746` normal CI then passed all 49 jobs (48
success, one expected skip) and Greptile passed 5/5 with zero unresolved
findings. The `7a203274` normal CI also passed 48 jobs with one expected
skip, with fresh Greptile 5/5 and zero unresolved findings. Current
`39a4343` recursive typecheck and standard build both pass with
persisted exit codes and its exact build stamp; fresh Greptile is 5/5
with zero unresolved findings. Its normal CI completed successfully: 48
jobs passed and one expected job skipped. The fresh live result remains
separately failed. The `0862062` normal CI had 46 passing jobs, one
expected skip, one worker communication failure and its aggregate
failure; GitHub states the self-hosted runner lost communication. No
failed assertion or specific OOM/spot cause was established, and no
blind retry was used. |
| PostgreSQL supplement | One corrected all-pool pair at the preceding
repair passed 300-controller/10,000-history correctness and absolute
gates. SQL 76,590→75,990; transactions 9,013→8,713; UPDATE rows 11,613
each; 300 correct pointer writes each. PG CPU 31.99→30.46 s, WAL
70.36→67.87 MB, request p99 100.98→103.12 ms. This is one pair, not a
repeated improvement claim or an exact `0862062` CPU measurement. Its
two later changes defer premature publication and reorder existing
locks; they add no transaction, stream/idle writer, pool or timer. The
first collapsed-pool attempt remains invalid and retained. This is not
an exact final-head CPU/WAL measurement; later fixes change ordering,
identity selection and in-memory skill replacement without adding
snapshot transactions, pools, stream writes or idle SQL. |
| Live publication proof (`0862062`) | Baseline run
`06fcc806-f186-4190-9b57-087b61d75533` accepted result
`58f912dc-94d9-4b4d-bd3d-d5f689c83fd3`; the publication receipt names
the same result, the task pointer has parameters and `lastRunId`
matches, and the normalized native identity matches the following active
run. Accounting v2 settled. |
| Active recovery (`0862062`) | **FAIL.** SIGKILL/cache discard at
23:07:28.666 UTC; hold 300,000.859 ms; B ready at 308,896.486 ms;
natural generation-2 ownership at 312,906 ms. At about 319 s,
preparation failed `runner_harness_state_mismatch:
resumed_not_suspended`. No authenticated after-receipt passed within 420
s. Exact original Runner PID 668/start/fingerprint was independently
still alive; provider auto-stop was 15 minutes. No retained C follow-up
qualified. Canonical 0/1 `cleanup_failure`/cleanup-failed report remains
failed; subsequent independent cleanup deleted all three owned resources
with exact 404s and confirmed full intended-account inventory with zero
owned resources. |
| Verified adoption preparation (`64c0b746`) | 91 focused cases pass,
including actual preparation for four active providers and a distinct
prior/current warm proof. Unproved resumed state, dead process and stale
warm owner remain rejected. The earlier options-only fixture missed this
gate. No spawn, backup restore or PRP-authentication bypass was added.
Server typecheck passes. |
| Active warm identity (`64c0b746`) | **FAIL.** B claimed generation 2
at 312,995 ms. Preparation passed, then strict PRP recovery rejected the
generated attachment IDs at about 319 s. The saved and desired Runner,
lease, normalized session and run IDs matched; only
`turn_attachment_…`/`item_attachment_…` differed from generated
`turn-<run>`/`item-<run>`. Canonical 0/1 cleanup-failed report remains
failed; independent cleanup confirmed deletion/404s and zero owned
provider resources. |
| Six-field identity repair (`7a203274`) | Actual server-factory
regression RED4→GREEN38. A real Rust Runner test passes healthy first
run → random-ID warm handoff → held active second run → restored
controller. It verifies a new live authenticated connection, exact
identity, same Runner/provider OS identities, no duplicate launch/turn,
and no redispatch or invented receipt for an uncertain tool. The
synthetic wrong pair still fails the unchanged guard. This protocol case
does not claim business completion. Server and Runner typechecks pass. |
| Active recovery/completion (`7a203274`) | **PASS for the active
component.** Full five-minute SIGKILL/cache-loss hold. B ready at
308,936.651 ms; natural generation 2 observed 312,979 ms; authenticated
at 317,720 ms and resumed processing at 318,527 ms. Same run
`1e1ccb00-0728-4935-97da-57562d81cb42`, Runner
`246f73f7-a689-4177-a9c2-7ce711d63aed`, remote PID 669/start
23:48:27.470, provider lease/session and one submitted turn. Accepted
result `49097529-5310-4ac3-af95-5bf9b91d19f4`, publication, finalization
and accounting v2 all settled. |
| Full workflow (`7a203274`) | **FAIL, preserved.** Queued
late-requirement run `5e61f38d-c7d1-4fc1-bcbf-bce9d46ce4eb` failed
`runner did not durably suspend before checkpoint` before outage 2.
Canonical 0/1 candidate failure, cleanup passed, evidence valid. C
retention was not exercised. Independent provider absence,
controllers/PG cleanup, EC2 termination and root-volume absence all
confirmed; closed receipt SHA-256
`676a3b15eb9937b6bf995c36fb8666c88964d509e5ceb9109fb02da0aa2bc909`. |
| Retirement and stable configuration (`39a4343`) | Real Runner +
Postgres RED reproduced the exact suspension failure and nine owner
rejections. `turn.stop` is now lifecycle checkpoint maintenance under
unchanged owner/result/generation fences. GREEN25/25 proves actual
persisted suspension, exact identity and completed stop/drain/suspend;
unaccepted, foreign, stale and new-work negatives remain rejected. Two
default-home fingerprint REDs become GREEN9/9; explicit mode changes
still invalidate. No global matching exemption or historical fingerprint
rewrite. |
| Fresh full Daytona warm cell (`39a4343`) | **FAIL, preserved.**
Launched 00:15:29 UTC with automatic retries disabled. Active adoption
passed: actual offline hold 300,000.848 ms; B ready 309,922.155 ms;
natural generation 2 at 311,821 ms; authenticated 317,989 ms; resumed
330,440 ms. Same run `3e126819-e786-4b3b-b923-c975cf4f5b79`, Runner
`4079138a-8d7c-44a4-8558-07a5411d1f55`, PID 668/start and
provider/session identities. Accepted result
`08e504af-4dec-48a8-bf05-bf0a32280559` and publication passed. Queued
run `31d168c9-7ab9-4700-abb6-fafb90912237` failed the same strict
suspension error before outage 2. Its row selected a new native
identity, but no new third provider process or invocation was observed.
Recovery-time configuration still reset only `adapterConfig`; native
provider, context and workspace subtrees were unchanged. Canonical 0/1
candidate failure, evidence valid, normal cleanup passed; all campaign
provider/PG/process resources independently absent. Closed campaign
receipt SHA-256
`5e7d6281c13c812f3a946667f97f3c7d339b5ad86a3a819bd185b2fa73bc4a19`;
EC2/SSH remain temporarily held for the concrete follow-up repair.
Original 60/300/420-second limits and strict queued/second-replacement
checks remain unchanged. Direct-process path; no new live prepared-task
claim. |
| Native retirement authority (`283e05ffaa`) | Exact `39a4343` facade
regression RED3→GREEN9. The successor now uses its existing production
coordinator claim and prompt renewal before strict retirement. A real
Runner/Postgres case starts in the actual native-observed/unclaimed
phase, claims through production code, then closes and durably suspends
the predecessor in 1.657 s. All 25 real-Postgres cases pass;
unclaimed/foreign writers remain rejected. Shared attachment staging
stays after retirement; Stop and denied claims neither close nor stage.
No new claim or SQL path was added. |
| Configuration continuity (`283e05ffaa`) | Real shared/project-primary
environment selection → configuration with four skill versions
reproduces `reset: true`, changed category exactly `adapterConfig`,
after a Postgres JSONB read. Pinned restoration had reordered the
generated preference while actual runtime skills stayed identical.
Replacing existing pinned rows in place preserves the original fresh
name/key order and fingerprint. The assembled regression passes, as do
three existing pinned-version/rename/alias cases and server typecheck.
Genuine model/skill-selection changes still invalidate. No
fingerprint-format change or broad compatibility exemption. |
| Final production repair (`283e05ffaa`) | Full recursive
typecheck/build and [normal
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41151145106)
PASS: 48 jobs plus one expected skip. Fresh review 5/5, zero unresolved
threads. Live baseline, recovered run and queued continuation all
succeeded, each accepted/published/committed once with accounting v2
settled. Their native/provider identities and configuration fingerprint
match; both recovery and continuation report no reset, no changed
categories and task-session reuse. Active outage/authentication remains
within original timing. |
| Browser-dependent continuation (`283e05ffaa`, definition 6) | **Whole
cell FAIL, preserved.** After B was killed at 00:46:38.928 and its cache
discarded, C became ready in 9,151.410 ms. `openParent()` then hit a
30-second `page.goto`/DOMContentLoaded timeout before posting the final
request. No fourth native run or C continuation was exercised. Cause of
navigation timeout is unknown. C task had no execution lock, queued
comments, handoff or recovery blocker; all three prior runs were
committed/accounted. Normal cleanup passed; independent provider
absence, controller/PG cleanup, EC2 termination and exact root-volume
absence confirmed. Sanitized report bundle SHA-256
`2a3b841d62efb2ae30ef14f96a431ac4fa7fe3a782f1144831512f78edc65022`. |
| Native API continuation qualification (`9eb9ac6f9e`, definition 7) |
**FAIL, preserved.** The real post-C API request dispatched run
`c71fbb18-f979-4fe4-93ce-9c4be46dbf21`, which failed
`native_session_interrupted` / `native_session_recovery_failed` at
01:10:00.640 UTC. It selected the same normalized native identity,
Runner and checkpoint-provider identity as the three succeeded turns. No
C result was accepted; pending accounting remains explicit. Active
recovery passed: actual offline hold 300,001.098 ms, B ready 308,335.019
ms, natural generation 2 observed 311,818 ms, authenticated 315,540 ms,
resumed 316,612 ms. Queued continuation succeeded/accepted/published. B
was then killed/cache discarded at 01:09:34.500 and C ready in 8,783.803
ms. Original classifier `transient_infrastructure`, whole-case failure
and cleanup passed are unchanged; that classifier does not establish the
root cause. All owned provider/PG/process resources, EC2, root volume
and SSH agent independently absent. Closed receipt SHA-256

Exact backend detail is unavailable in approved structured evidence. |
| Current required checks (`9eb9ac6f9e`) | Recursive typecheck, standard
build and exact build stamp PASS. [Normal
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41152908417)
PASS: 48 jobs plus one expected skip. Fresh Greptile 5/5, latest edited
summary checked, zero unresolved threads. Exact8/512/8,192 stream probes
again report zero recovery SQL/transactions/rows and settled-idle SQL;
seven control transactions/twelve changed rows each, with 36 separate
legitimate renewals in the longest case. CI success does not supersede
the failed live C gate. |

The completion supplement observed secondary request/liveness/checkpoint
transaction p99 increases of 23.0%/45.7%/15.6% in its single pair.
Renewal p99 stayed below 0.865 s, with 900 successful renewals per arm
and no lost leases. The named pool caps stayed 10+2+2. An aggregate
activity sample peaked at 15 non-observer entries without backend-type
classification, so no claim is made that all were client connections. No
sampled lock episodes does not establish zero lock waits.

Twelve pure reader/selector cases also pass with the new adjacent
receipt. This is not another executed process rollback. Development
reader `5cf7aead` can parse the recovery state, but its old run-detail
redactor can expose receipt IDs/outcome to an authorized run reader. The
first production release containing recovery readers, complete
attachment-identity handling and both private-field redactions is the
rollback floor. The implicit-home fix prevents new recovery-time
fingerprint drift; it does not rewrite previously stored fingerprints
from failed candidates. The development probe is not a published
supported rollback target.

Latest actual `0862062` Runner tests independently passed 8/512/8,192
text chunks with zero recovery SQL, transactions and changed rows, plus
zero settled-idle SQL. All three observed seven setup/control
transactions and twelve changed rows. The 8,192-chunk case separately
recorded 31 legitimate lease-renewal statements, with no lost lease.
These are component SQL observations, not a production CPU/WAL claim.
The new adoption and identity branches affect recovery preparation only.
The `64c0b746`, `7a203274` and exact `39a4343` CI independently passed
all three stream sizes with the same zero-SQL/idle result; each latest
8,192-chunk case recorded 36 separate renewal statements. Exact
`39a4343` Runner 2/2 passed 133 files / 2,317 tests plus two skips; its
separate native group passed 150 tests plus eight skips.

The first API fixture revision omitted the mandatory final screenshot;
this was caught before paid launch and allocated no provider/model work.
The correction captures the actual retained Chromium page with an
explicit unqualified-browser label, without changing the standard report
validator.

Automatic approval review rejected exporting raw private API/workflow
snapshots because of sensitive payloads and insufficient
destination-specific authorization. Sanitized reports and
bound/hash-only receipts are retained; raw snapshots were not copied
through another channel. This does not change the failed grade.

Repair characterization also preserves its failed attempts. An
unconditional staging relocation broke three existing same-scope
scripted cases; the final implementation defers staging only for an
actual superseded warm scope, and all nine order/race cases pass. One
baseline transform overlapped an edit and is explicitly invalid; the
actual immutable `39a4343` loader then produced the three genuine REDs.
The independent task-directory hypothesis produced a RED but was
excluded by the live shared-workspace evidence; no directory policy
change was landed. A shared-workspace fixture authorization omission was
corrected separately from the four-skill semantic RED.

Setup failures are retained separately from semantic outcomes. These
include an old host port after the owned Postgres fixture restarted and
a sandbox-denied TSX IPC pipe. The supported external-Postgres run
passed, and the final exact recursive typecheck passes with normal
process permissions. Seven stale declaration errors after the master
merge cleared after compiling the actual merged SDK/Runner TypeScript
sources. No declarations were edited by hand.

<summary>Earlier qualification measurements and failed attempts
(historical, before this repair)</summary>

**Historical blocked gate (before the repair below).** Final native
implementation is `abed921e12d543b62f57a56435419c0dafb0bc33`; current
branch head is `af9e2d157dcc349e55374ad186c9be2d6cb96bf9`. The two later
commits change only qualification fixtures, their matcher and
documentation; `server/` and `packages/` are unchanged. It includes
master through `fd008979f5794fda3d5f54151d36acd31d0de140`.

The live Daytona measurement proves five-minute active recovery,
once-only completion and accounting, but **fails retained-session
identity after the second replacement**. The saved checkpoint and
recovery metadata exist. The task-session pointer remains empty, and
ordinary admission creates new native/provider sessions. The exact
skipped publication boundary remains unproven. A useful saved-file
result alone does not satisfy retained-session continuation. This
application-path gap blocks merge independently of CI.

A separate new-master CI failure is owned by the storage workstream (fix
in #18357). No storage guard, session-identity oracle, lease/grace limit
or provider result was relaxed.

| Gate | Observed result and exact scope |

`5ea45f8d17e33c9a62bd79982dcf0375b07733d0` → fresh B → A. Four
controller processes, natural 60-second lease expiry, absent native

same-contract rollback, strict cleanup. 106.672 seconds. This is
compiled component proof, separate from full CLI-native application
acceptance. |

`eaef0d56552c087aaa4fa68a8655282ffbd12667`, Node 24.22.1, darwin-arm64:
fresh external DB, 415 migrations, health ready, root HTML 200, company
POST 201 plus GET readback. The installed tree remained unchanged after
execution. |
| Five-minute component outage | Actual controller absence 300,168 ms.
Natural generation-2 claim at 407.196 seconds after crash, same provider
attempt and Runner, original run succeeded/committed. The larger
540-second case timed out before its retained follow-ups, so it is an
active-adoption pass, not a complete four-controller pass. The complete
short source/installed cases above independently cover follow-up and
rollback. |
| Drain/resume review regression | Fixed in
`226f03e736d1ee99fea1762ab32ea3a8a9241c20`. Five facade-level cases
pass: overdue normal/restart waits, future timer cancellation, another
facade resuming the original owner, and transient retry. Against exact
prior scheduler `5ea45f8d17e33c9a62bd79982dcf0375b07733d0`, four fail
and one passes. The later head changes documentation only. |
| Final corrected-fixture Daytona | **PARTIAL: active recovery PASS;
retained identity FAIL**, exact live source `0b6afc499f`. A was
SIGKILLed and native cache discarded; actual offline hold 300,000.375
ms. B was ready at 308,326.961 ms, naturally claimed generation 2 at
312,059 ms, authenticated at 315,996 ms and resumed processing at
316,519 ms, within the original 420-second boundary. The same run,
Runner PID/start, session, lease and event prefix survived; one turn
submitted. Original execution succeeded and settled accounting. After
completion, B was killed and its native cache discarded; C was ready in
9,077.779 ms. C executed the saved project and returned correct
`queue_r`, with all four runs succeeded/accounted. However, native and
true provider-session identities changed: the unchanged retained oracle
fails. No whole-workflow pass is claimed. |
| Prior matched-producer Daytona | FAILED at exact `abed921e12`. The
matching current-source Runner passed normal admission, completed the
first task and settled its accounting. During the active revision, A was
SIGKILLed and its native cache discarded. Actual offline hold was
300,000.727 ms; B was ready at 308,304 ms and naturally claimed
generation 2 at 309,651 ms. At about 318 seconds, the remote process
check reported `process_not_running` for the original admitted Runner.
No authenticated after-receipt or retained follow-up passed. The current
failure is preserved; no automatic retry, lease/grace relaxation, debt
edit or provider replay is used. Bounded forensic read found preserved
exact-bound state with no recoverable failure, a transport-reset
diagnostic and no terminal delivery; this supports external process loss
without proving the exact cause. The sandbox had a five-minute auto-stop
policy, conflicting with the required surviving-sandbox assumption.
Owned cleanup precedes the separate corrected-fixture case. |

**Live retained-session boundary.** Prior completed run `3806…` and C
follow-up `8adf1df3-6744-40bf-b35d-100451f29d9f` both have database
session snapshots and `nativeControllerRecovery`. Their tool
fingerprint, provider configuration, workspace descriptor,
runtime-context digest, driver and work mode match. There is no recorded
force-fresh/workspace-selection change, and this is an ordinary task
rather than a conversation-generation reset. The same issue/agent
task-session row has `session_params_json: null` and `last_run_id: null`
from baseline time. Both native normalized UUID and actual provider
session/thread hashes differ after C. Full application admission
therefore did not select the retained source. No fallback to file
execution or relaxed identity comparison is accepted as proof of
continuity.

**Independent cleanup completed.** Full current-account provider
inventory confirms no resources owned by either final fixture, with
exact-ID absence checks. Owned controllers and campaign Postgres are
stopped/removed. EC2 `i-01551c09af098dde5` is terminated, its
delete-on-termination root volume returned `InvalidVolume.NotFound` at
22:14:08 UTC, and the temporary SSH key/agent were removed. The
canonical failed report and immutable oracle input are retained. Closed
qualification receipt SHA-256:
`b4b5fefce287ebfdbf2cc2238efaad62d8ad485aed0e9c0628ae95dbc18a8575`.

**Original measurement and grader repair remain separate.** The C reply
contains the requested marker followed by a newline and the correct
output. The old workflow waited for one literal space, so its normal
receipt collection stalled; that original attempt was closed and its
canonical `cleanup_failure`/interrupted result is preserved. Commit
`af9e2d157d` repairs only this reply predicate, with 144 focused cases,
E2E typecheck, discovery and diff checks passing. Ordinary string
matching stays literal. The corrected predicate accepts the saved reply,
but the unchanged retained-identity oracle still fails. Pure
active-recovery grading of the captured measurement passes 7/7; this is
not a rewritten passing campaign.

The sandbox idle-window conflict was corrected only for this explicit
fixture (15 minutes). Actual baseline and later sandbox metadata confirm
that policy; the original active box was disposed before a post-gate
policy read, so its 15-minute setting is established by the normal
create/environment configuration rather than an after-read of that box.
Production native lifecycle and the 60/300/420-second constants remain
unchanged.

The development compatibility reader A is a genuine backport commit
based on `59ff89a18fe1312b5f0bb908439bbdb1237b0252`, with the required
idle-goal reader fixes. It is not a previously published release. Its
older executor differs from B. The rollback floor must include this
reader capability. The source component cases admitted the Linux ARM64
Runner packaged at `59ff89a18fe1312b5f0bb908439bbdb1237b0252`; the
installed component case admitted the `5cf7aead` package. Their Runner
bytes are identical: SHA-256
`b1f04caa1ce04e720dec7eb62ede170eb3621948c0849b8f305ea5c5116bced8`. Each
admitted artifact remained unchanged throughout its case.

[Final public package
build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41121460635)
and [reader-floor
build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41122170506)
both passed all four daemon builds, package assembly and both Darwin
clean consumers. Both Linux ARM consumers failed before provider work
with the same existing local Codex permission-profile error: bubblewrap
attempts `activity.fifo/.git` and reports “Not a directory.” This
matched baseline failure remains open; it is not a native remote
continuity pass. Full post-run tree and build-stamp revalidation also
passed after the compiled native case. The installed component trees are
A `c29114c1bf71c5af00f761aeb9e3d84ed3d3075b9f5600dee3ef2543eb2b6ec5` and
B `eda575505373a3bdc630fa4919862b359791fe3a7ef637961a25b73b38efe4b0`.

**Controlled PostgreSQL qualification passed.**
Baseline/candidate/candidate/baseline workloads used 300 controllers,
10,000 historical tasks, real snapshot/encrypted PRP writes and
unchanged pools. PostgreSQL and client were each limited to two CPUs and
1536 MiB on an isolated eight-vCPU Linux host.

| Workload | PG CPU per operation | WAL per operation | Database request
p99 |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Steady | +1.18% | +1.81% | +1.91% |
| Aligned burst | +3.40% | +2.56% | +3.81% |
| Two logical servers | +3.11% | +2.56% | +9.68% |

All arms passed absolute/correctness gates with unchanged control
transaction counts, no dropped operations and no owner loss. Overlap p99
has little margin below the relative threshold. It uses two clients in
one Node process, not two HTTP servers. [Closed measurements and
limitations](doc/plans/2026-10-30-native-controller-qualification-evidence.json)
and exact-source reproduction patches are retained. [Earlier
contended-host
failures](doc/plans/2026-10-30-native-controller-load-evidence.json)
remain unchanged. The production DB-claim probe claimed 300 owners in
2.84 seconds and restored/committed controls and snapshots in 8.74
seconds, with zero owner loss or settled-idle SQL; its provider
references were synthetic. The measured checkpoint/snapshot/renewal
paths retain the same persistence behavior after integration; later
accounting and business writes have separate owners.

Actual Runner stream tests at `da8c7f6e1837ddd896dfe83a7524812fee813487`
passed 8/512/8,192 chunks: zero recovery SQL, transactions and changed
rows during text intervals; zero settled-idle SQL. Each retained seven
control transactions and twelve changed records. Existing renewal SQL
was measured separately. The guard/scheduler fixes add no stream path,
pool or recurring idle scan.

The live fixture used current-source producer SHA-256
`f0000c90cb83880191479da639201e659aa6ce0fc7d67c859faa172ec977849e`, a
normal locked exact-head build with pinned Rust 1.97.1 in Bookworm.
Actual network-isolated, read-only ABI execution passed (GLIBC
requirement 2.34 against runtime 2.36). The immutable base image
remained
`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:36069788f53c51f228764fa36180575443dfb5d1f84a342d7c0daceb28dc61cc`,
source `a0ef3ce7`. This was an unpublished development producer,
explicitly distinct from the base image and admitted before the fresh
fixture began. The earlier host build failed ABI preflight before
admission. The preceding old-producer fixture completed its initial task
but lacked the usage-basis marker required by current master; it
remained pending/unpriced and correctly paused. It was independently
cleaned without debt or budget changes. Two preceding local Linux setup
attempts OOM-killed before provider allocation, and their cleanup
passed. These attempts remain separate from the final recovery failure.

**Failures retained and resolved separately.** The earlier `98f05fc`
probe rejected a valid settled PRP v2 goal suffix; `eaef0d5` fixed that
reader and the fresh follow-up passed. Later component cleanup failures
were traced by a scoped exception observer to the fixture adapter
rejecting directory downloads. A bounded owned-directory transfer with
exact-byte/mode preflight corrected the fixture; source and installed
strict-cleanup cases then passed. No production guard was relaxed. The
initial local integrated control-port run hit its 30-second embedded
Postgres startup hook before executing 59 cases; 18 other focused cases
passed. A bounded rerun used a fresh owned external Postgres fixture,
applied normal migrations before Vitest, and passed all 59 cases with
the original timeouts unchanged. Its container and data were removed;
the failed attempt remains retained.

The additional opt-in full Product E2E Vitest run is not green: 5,313
passed, seven failed and three skipped. An actual `abed921e12` archive
with the same dependencies, Node and IPC permissions reproduces all
seven failures with the same reasons. Five are unchanged
workflow-policy/profile-pin assertions, including Pi profile version 37
versus the test pin 35. Two database suites failed during embedded
Postgres startup before their assertions; semaphore exhaustion is
confirmed in the observer log. The observer passes its supported
external-Postgres rerun with original timeouts and source unchanged. The
controller-database client-kill/postmaster assertions remain unexecuted
after `initdb` bootstrap failure; no external override is supported. The
unit launcher stopped before its Node-test phase, which was then run
independently and passed 181/181. The original failed full run is
preserved. These results remain distinct from the passing focused checks
and normal repository CI. The first local Product E2E typecheck also
encountered stale compiled Runner declarations; a genuine package-local
TypeScript compile refreshed them and the unchanged check passed,
without a dependency install or producer rebuild.

Earlier [Daytona campaign
41108162900](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41108162900)
failed at sandbox creation before any agent, with the underlying
provider error unavailable. Its [sanitized
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-41108162900-2/index.html)
remains a `cleanup_failure`. Both old creation names are absent in the
current authenticated account, but the old CI account identity was not
retained, so account equivalence is unproven. The subsequent exact
`eaef0d5` source Product E2E attempt passed image/agent setup and the
initial project, then held the controller offline for 300,003.7 ms. Its
Mac supervisor failed owned-process inspection before B readiness; no
adoption passed. Full current-company lease/label checks, provider
deletion, exact-ID 404s and complete inventory confirmed cleanup of that
attempt. Its local server and owned Postgres stopped. The prior AWS
campaigns and database qualification VM were terminated with root
volumes removed.

The old admitted test Runner lacks the newer usage-basis marker
introduced on master. The integrated component B turns retained
unpriced, incomplete accounting obligations with `costAccountingPending:
true` and no settled charge. The compatibility-reader A turn used its
legacy receipt interpretation but likewise retained pending accounting
and no settlement timestamp. This proves obligation preservation, not a
whole-run accounting migration. Runner/receiver release ordering remains
governed by the usage owner's contract.

At native implementation `abed921e12d543b62f57a56435419c0dafb0bc33`,
Greptile was 5/5 with zero unresolved threads and CI completed with 54
successful checks and five expected skips. At `0b6afc499f`, Greptile
again passed 5/5 with zero unresolved threads, but CI ended with 51
successful checks, five skips and three failures. Server 9/12 fails a
deterministic managed-skills maintenance assertion newly inherited from
master `198218bf` in merge `c80e00ad`; that test is absent from the PR
head, and the storage owner has the explicit-StorageService fix in
#18357. Runner 2/2 passed 2,283 unit cases but its runner received a
shutdown signal during the long stream probe; its cancelled step and
aggregate failure are preserved. No blind retry was used. Current
`af9e2d157d` checks are pending; the matcher-only change passes 144
focused cases and Product E2E typecheck. Earlier scheduling-sensitive CI
failures and the interrupted unsharded local test run remain recorded in
the dated plan. CI runs the repository's normal test partitions. Final
verification does not claim Railway rollout, uninterrupted HTTP service
or whole-webserver filesystem loss.

</details>

## Risks

- The task-pointer repair passes its assembled regression. The first
live repair exposed pre-acceptance ordering and the fresh review exposed
a replay lock-order issue; both are fixed and pass real Postgres tests
at `0862062`. The following live attempt exposed the
verified-running-versus-suspended preparation gate. Its narrow fix
passes 91 focused cases at `64c0b746`. The next live case exposed
synthetic attachment IDs; `7a203274` fixes that field selection and
passes real Runner authentication. The subsequent queued continuation
exposed strict retirement maintenance and a false default-home change;
`39a4343` fixes both with real Runner/Postgres and fingerprint
regressions. The `39a4343` live continuation failed again despite green
CI. `283e05ffaa` repairs the actual native-observed admission ordering
and reproduces/fixes the JSONB skill-order fingerprint drift. Both pass
targeted real-Postgres regressions and the live active plus queued
paths. The definition 6 post-C browser navigation timed out before
admission. Explicit definition 7 now verifies native continuation
through the ordinary comment API; its strict post-C native gate failed
after a real dispatch and remains historical failed evidence. The final
fc68584 repair now passes its fresh strict 49-check Linux/Daytona
campaign; the prior failed grades remain unchanged. Browser reconnection
is handed to its own workstream with the original failed evidence. No
prior failed campaign is reclassified as passing.
- Incorrect checkpoint/source binding or stale ownership could duplicate
external work. Missing evidence remains a hold; existing receipt and
finalization owners keep uncertain effects unresolved.
- Recovery must retain maintenance writes after accepted results without
allowing a stale business turn to write. Real lock-wait and generation
tests cover that boundary.
- The current two-connection paired burst profile fails its absolute
drain gate in both baseline and candidate, despite passing relative load
gates and all correctness checks. A causal capacity diagnostic selected
three slots; the final controlled cap-three profiles pass unchanged
thresholds. Full application replacement and two-server overlap capacity
remain separate. There is no new streaming writer, pool or recurring
idle scan.
- The remote sandbox and Runner must survive the recovery window.
Provider auto-stop is a separate lifetime bound from reconnect grace;
the explicit qualification fixture uses a longer idle window.
- Workspace and provider backup availability remain external
dependencies. This PR does not certify whole-webserver filesystem loss,
uninterrupted HTTP service or a Railway rollout.

## Model Used

Implementation and initial verification used OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex;
the initial hosted snapshot was not exposed. The follow-up qualification
used three OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` workers coordinated through Codex, with
repository tools, code execution, CI and scoped test infrastructure.
Context-window size is not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip f1d7808382 fix(tools): stabilize tied profile entry order (#18427)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Advanced YAML editor reads shared tool profiles through their
owning service.
> - The editor must preserve hidden settings and reject real concurrent
changes.
> - Batch-created entries share a creation time. Queries sorted only by
that time can return the same entries in a different order.
> - The editor can then report a false concurrent tool change before it
sends a profile binding request.
> - This pull request adds an ID tie-breaker to profile entry reads.
> - The benefit is a stable saved configuration without removing the
concurrent-change guard.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18356. Related: #18168.

**What happened?**

The compact YAML browser case failed at its second save. Save stayed
enabled and the profile binding write did not occur. The original CI
artifact has no response bodies. It does not establish the exact entry
order from that run.

A controlled browser test reproduced this failure. It changed only the
order of 30 equal-time entries in the second preflight response. The
client reported `tools changed while you were editing. Reload saved
before saving.` No binding request followed. A separate first-save
response barrier showed that the pending-save guard worked.

**Expected behavior**

Reads of unchanged entries must have a stable order. Real entry changes
must still trigger the existing configuration checks. Entry order does
not set policy precedence; exclusions still win over matching includes.

**Steps to reproduce**

Create a profile with entries that share one creation time. Read the
profile, change the physical row layout in a disposable PostgreSQL
database, and read it again. The old service has no tie-breaker for
these entries. The new regression fails against that service.

## What Changed

- Sort list and detail entry reads by creation time, then ID, in the
profile service. These reads supply saved configuration snapshots. Other
reads retain their existing behavior.
- Add one real PostgreSQL regression. It changes heap layout in both
directions, checks stable list and detail values, preserves
chronological ordering, checks company boundaries, and checks
include/exclude results and a real entry change.
- Include the exact test-only recovery prerequisite from commit
`36c8d9ddd76d0b7ddb28a9a6c674d9e538f6df88`. Its file blob is unchanged.
It removes a one-sweep fixture assumption while keeping bounded recovery
assertions. No document UI or journey code is imported.

## Verification

- Base: one frozen public master snapshot,
`8c9dd1e4445e58cc9ca08076dfe9c0b27038d6ee`. The affected service,
schema, projection, resolver, and save guard match the failed CI merge
`94d98d5c75c8f331aad4bfab2111ee587b0c63fe`.
- RED: the new real PostgreSQL test fails on the old service. Both
physical layouts were verified before the ordering assertion failed.
- GREEN: `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/tool-profile-entry-order.test.ts
src/__tests__/tool-profile-entry-validation.test.ts` — 18 tests pass
with real PostgreSQL 17.
- GREEN: `cd ui && pnpm exec vitest run
src/lib/agent-configuration/save.test.ts
src/lib/agent-configuration-yaml.test.ts --maxWorkers 1` — 51 tests
pass.
- GREEN: one focused Chromium treatment of the original compact YAML
case passes. The treatment changes the actual disposable database heap
after the first save. It does not transform HTTP responses. The 30
equal-time entries stay identical through the API, the second bind
returns 201, and the original hidden-setting and disabled-Save
assertions pass.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check` pass.
- Local tests use Node 24, a macOS source server, Chromium, and an
isolated loopback PostgreSQL 17 container. The server and container are
stopped. Private traces and control source are retained outside Git.
These controls do not prove a deployed Cloud result.
- A review follow-up removes two unnecessary query changes. Fresh real
PostgreSQL verification still passes all 18 tests. The list/detail
queries and browser path are unchanged from the passing heap-reorder
treatment.
- Prior head `59edcade203d6a05923955f5a0118e62c7e549c5` had a separate
browser failure in run `41169427774`:
`disconnect-write-recovery.spec.ts:204` kept the original title after a
mocked session lookup failure. Its relevant test and UI source are
unchanged from the base. The cause is unresolved. The two removed query
changes do not repair it. The original log and artifact are retained; no
unchanged job retry was issued. On the current head, this case passes in
14.3 seconds. The compact YAML case also passes in 11.2 seconds. The
later success does not establish the prior failure cause.
- Final exact head: `81c584aeac116b9d7a126b55dc99d5f6c70c195f`. [CI run
41169978784](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41169978784)
completes with success: all 47 workflow jobs are terminal, and all 57 PR
check/status entries are green or accepted neutral/skipped states. Full
typecheck, build, Runner checks, security checks, and `ci / verify`
pass. They were not repeated as broad local commands because the shared
host is under load.
- The new PostgreSQL regression also passes in Linux CI in 911 ms.
Server shard 12 has 1,839 passing tests. Browser shard 3 has 45 passing
tests, including the original compact YAML case.
- Fresh Greptile and Paperclip reviews both give this exact head 5/5
with no findings. All review threads are resolved. The branch is
mergeable and clean.

## Risks

- Entries with the same creation time now use ID order. Their prior
relative order was undefined. Entries with different creation times keep
their existing order.
- The query still sorts the same rows and adds one key to the sort. It
adds no query, polling, schema change, or migration.
- The configuration equality and concurrent-change checks are unchanged.
This fix does not ignore real tool changes.
- The original CI response order is unknown. The regression proves a
permitted ordering defect and the matching failure mechanism, not the
unique historical cause.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 100b364264 Preserve selected Google services when setup resumes (#18048)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Connections control which external services an agent can use.
> - Google Workspace setup lets a person choose services and read or
write access.
> - A draft lost that choice after a declined or expired OAuth handoff.
> - Finish setup could then show all services with write access instead
of the saved narrow choice.
> - This pull request saves the exact draft choice without treating it
as granted access.
> - The benefit is safe setup recovery that preserves the person's
choice and existing account limits.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15545. The duplicate search found no open PR for Workspace draft
consent recovery. Related #18000 concerns satisfied gateway access
requests, not saved OAuth setup intent.

**What happened?**

A cold Workspace draft resumed with the new-account service defaults.
The selected request lived only in short-lived OAuth state. Denial
consumed that state. The picker ignored draft connections.

**Expected behavior**

Finish setup restores the same person's saved service choice. It does
not use another person's choice, a broad profile hint, or a credential
grant as draft intent. An old draft with no reliable choice asks the
person to choose services.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a new Google Workspace connection. Select Gmail read-only. Turn
off Drive and Calendar.
2. Continue to Google, then decline authorization.
3. Close the setup page. Return through Finish setup.
4. Open the service picker. Before this fix, all three services can be
enabled with write access.

Authenticated and local source builds. The source regression uses real
PostgreSQL fixtures and the production React setup components. Live
provider acceptance of this repair is still pending deployment.

## What Changed

- Save validated, non-secret draft intent before managed or
customer-owned OAuth. Bind it to company, connection, actor, grant kind,
and subject.
- Restore that intent after denial, state expiry, and cold Finish setup.
Keep active reconnect bound to its saved grant. Do not change
new-account defaults.
- Preserve agent-to-human setup handoffs. Consume only the addressed
person's reviewed proposal. Keep other people's proposals.
- Lock and merge the current draft before saving intent. Return 409 if
its credential identity or method changed during setup.
- Preserve the latest saved choice across overlapping customer-owned
starts. Merge both current configuration records under short locks.
Reject stale client-binding changes. Keep each OAuth state's own
requested scopes.
- Add shared, service, handoff, picker, and cold-page regression tests.
Update the connector contract and existing feature plan.

- Route the default ungrouped test/release paths through six sequential
exact-cover chat partitions. Preserve remaining server/native coverage,
explicit grouped CI, selection-first execution and shared-database
paths.
- Correct the retention test driver so pending owned real I/O does not
advance logical deadlines. Pump zero-duration connection timers and add
a held-I/O regression; keep production scheduling and original timing
assertions unchanged.

The shared helper is needed by the server and picker to validate the
same narrow binding. It does not resolve credentials or grant access. No
production schema migration, new route, provider scope or deployment
configuration is added. The test-harness changes do not change
production timers.

## Verification

### Current candidate: source qualification passed; live acceptance
pending

- Current published candidate:
`82d13d4d698a5579378b5d506cb7a1f9cb64b5c8`, tree
`78d6a821ce53f481fe3e9991edce56f0acffb22f`. It combines the Workspace
repair with launcher commit `bf29c9` and retention-test commit `e25987`,
then integrates master `493e229d93ba7798e80152f4549e2e9177ce50ae`. The
integration brings 40 upstream commits across 713 files. One launcher
conflict keeps upstream validated CI selection and its selection-first
path, then applies six default chat partitions only without a selection.
The authored PR diff has 16 files, 833 additions and 100 deletions; it
adds no authored lockfile or `.github` changes. The public head is
confirmed at this revision. Fresh CI and review passed as recorded
below. Source qualification is complete using exact-tree full CI and the
local results below. The separate local whole command was interrupted by
host disk protection and is not called a pass. Live repaired-draft
acceptance remains pending deployment.
- Exact clean `82d13d4` passed one Node 24.19.0 builtin-only run: 41/41
cases (37 launcher and four CI-workflow cases), zero failures/skips.
HEAD, tree and relevant file hashes stayed unchanged and clean before,
at start and after. This proves launcher fixtures, not real chat
execution, current typecheck/build, the dependency-backed selection
graph, or full feature acceptance.
- The new default ungrouped whole command uses six sequential
exact-cover chat partitions, then the remaining server suites,
workspaces and serialized suites: 28 expected invocations. It preserves
all native suites, including upstream usage coverage. The plain
ungrouped release launch path also changes. Explicit grouped CI,
validated selection and shared-database execution stay unchanged.
Launcher hard RED had three expected body failures and two unchanged
passes; the repaired focused five and final 37 passed. A later 41-case
staged-merge pass is retained separately; the clean 82 run above is the
frozen proof.
- Fresh [CI run
41153113944](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41153113944)
completed successfully on October 31 at 01:14:53 UTC. Current head has
52 successful check runs, four conditional skips and no pending/failing
checks; legacy Snyk also passed. The skips are test-file selection, the
optional paired benchmark and two Storybook checks. The full
server/chat/workspace/serialized matrix, all eight e2e shards, normal
build, build-gap typecheck, Runner checks and final aggregate gates
passed. Build and all three chat job logs identify checkout
`e5e831fd3a8534d0d0f1e892118c0f8fbe12dd92`, merging this head into
`493e229d93`. Its Git tree is exactly
`78d6a821ce53f481fe3e9991edce56f0acffb22f`, identical to the clean
candidate. The six real chat partitions passed 314, 358, 273, 239, 321
and 311 cases: 1,816 total. Other cases shown as skipped in each
partition were selection exclusions, not extra passed cases. This is
current tree-equivalent CI proof, not a pass of the separate default
ungrouped local whole command.
- Fresh [Greptile
summary](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18048#issuecomment-6473856992),
edited October 31 at 01:05:04 UTC, explicitly reviews exact head
`82d13d4` at 5/5 with no actionable code issue. Its exact-head check
passed. The prior overlapping-start discussion is resolved. This review
is source-only, not provider or live acceptance.
- Exact clean `82d13d4` passed full recursive typecheck and normal `pnpm
build` on the independent darwin/arm64 snapshot. Typecheck finished on
October 31 at 01:27:33 UTC; build finished at 01:28:33 UTC. Both exited
0. Normal native preparation and code signing passed. Source HEAD, tree
and tracked/untracked state stayed unchanged and clean. `pnpm
check:token-gates` also passed all token, palette and ClipLab checks on
this candidate. The earlier forced-clone `ENOSYS` preflight remains
recorded as setup failure, not an assertion result.
- The unchanged default `pnpm test:run` started at 01:51:33.796 UTC on
clean exact `82d13d4`. All six real chat partitions passed: 358, 314,
273, 239, 311 and 321 cases, or 1,816 actual cases. The original FIFO
and ambiguous-retry cases both passed under their unchanged 15-second
limits. General-server then reported 37 completed file rows with 5,438
passed cases and five default remote-continuity skips, including all 498
tool-access service cases and all 83 connection-route cases. At 02:39:44
UTC, the unchanged 5-GiB host-disk guard terminated the owned run. The
child ended with SIGTERM and the container/harness exited 143, with no
OOM or recorded assertion failure. Only seven of 28 RUN invocations
started. Retention had no completed local row. Later invocations did not
run. This whole local command is interrupted/incomplete, not passed.
- A coverage check found no default suite missing from current full PR
CI. The maintained launcher tests prove exact coverage for all 12 PR
server shards, chat and five native suites; all configured workspace
projects; and all nine serialized shards. The final Runner CI shard
executes the five native server suites. The 41 local launcher/workflow
cases cover six sequential chat children, per-child isolation, native
retention, fail-fast propagation and unchanged explicit
selection/shared-database paths. The actual six-chat run above exercises
that changed default path. The remaining unqualified local difference is
uninterrupted sequential whole-command composition and resource
accumulation, not omitted test selection. Current exact-tree full CI
supplies broad source-test qualification; no local whole-pass claim or
provider acceptance is inferred.
- A task-owned remote runner was considered to complete that separate
composition check. Its provider rejected the requested allocation with
per-sandbox limits of 8 GiB RAM and 10 GiB disk. No sandbox was admitted
and no remote tests ran. No tests, timeouts, assertions, database
synchronization, source or provider settings were changed to avoid the
capacity limit. Historical a0 failures remain below. No deployment or
live repaired-draft acceptance has run.

### Bounded follow-up on the prior source

- On a0, one finite phase-traced chat diagnostic executed exactly the
two failed cases. Both passed (1,374 and 1,767 ms); 1,814 other cases
were filtered, not passed. This did not reproduce a blocked await or
establish the original monolithic timeout cause. No assertion or
15-second limit changed.
- The retention diagnosis preserved an initial zero-body selector
failure, then corrected only the selector: one original case passed in
783 ms, with 42 filtered. Trace showed the old settling helper advancing
logical time while real I/O was active. A new held-I/O regression then
failed hard because the old helper advanced 1,000 ms. This proves a
test-driver defect, not the precise cause of the old 5,340 ms full-run
gap.
- The first manual-clock repair failed the complete 44-case file: 43
passed, one body hit 15 seconds and cleanup hit 30 seconds. Its planned
mutant did not run. Source then identified a fresh PostgreSQL
connection's zero-duration timer. The corrected driver pumps
zero-duration timers while initial readiness or tracked I/O is pending,
without advancing logical Date. That pre-integration file passed 44/44
with no skips. A separate scratch-only 5,000 ms normal-continuation
mutant failed the original hard `5000 < 3000` assertion; its expected
failure is not a test pass. The original page-count, fairness, expiry
and quiet assertions stayed intact. The authored repair does not change
the production worker. The merged master changes an older retention case
and dependencies; these pre-integration results are not a complete 82
retention or whole-suite pass.

### Historical qualification: SHA-bound, not 82 acceptance

- Historical a0 candidate: `a0f9089fc1ff466bf4e1eeddc5b1a910d09e380b`,
tree `b9d73713319dcd52b9eaa6053008b5190e43fdf1`. It adds the
overlapping-start repair to parent `6c18`, which already merged pinned
master `1511c92965325249ed6b52dd5be52eb6d736fbfa`. That candidate
changed 12 files. Its CI and review passed; its local full qualification
remained failed/incomplete.
- Greptile's previous `6c18` review found P1 [Latest service choice gets
lost](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18048#discussion_r4425965828),
confidence 4/5. Two hard-assert regressions reproduced it on untouched
`6c18`: the already-bound path overwrote the later choice, and real
first-use client stamping also restored the old choice. Existing OAuth
states/grants were not widened, but a later setup could restore an older
request. The new repair covers both write boundaries without holding
locks over external work or copying another attempt's scopes.
- The complete affected service file passed 498 tests with no failures
or skips. All 31 required controls ran, including both unchanged RED
cases, 14 new client-drift cases, seven earlier identity guards,
reconnect/cold-resume cases and upstream transaction tests. The tested
three-file patch is byte-identical to this commit; the connector
contract update is separate. Independent scoped review found no
additional actionable issue. Fresh Greptile reviewed exact `a0f` at 5/5
with no actionable findings. The previous P1 thread is resolved.
- On exact `a0f`, the five shared/UI files passed 312 tests. An initial
complete connection-management run then failed: 74 passed, eight timed
out at the unchanged 15-second limit, and one AI-account verification
returned 422 instead of 201. The Google addressed-user handoff passed.
The container exited 1 without OOM and stopped before chat/token/whole
tests. This material failure remains retained and its cause
unclassified; the later controlled recovery below is not a causal
explanation.
- One diagnostic executed the first failed gateway case and the two AI
cases with temporary phase-only tracing. All three passed at 8.516,
5.511 and 3.523 seconds; 80 other cases were filtered. Original hard
assertions and timeouts stayed unchanged. No timeout or suspected late
provider cleanup reproduced, so the complete-file failure remains
unresolved. Vitest exited 0; the harness exited 1 because its trace
parser missed ANSI prefixes. All 203 events were recovered from retained
logs without rerunning tests. Instrumentation was removed. This is not
acceptance.
- Historical a0 CI
[41097596364](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41097596364)
completed successfully: 52 successful checks, two expected Storybook
skips and no failed/pending checks. Legacy Snyk passed. All 48 CI jobs
passed, including all 1,816 chat cases and explicit passing lines for
the original 20 local failures. [Server
11/12](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41097596364/job/124207469276)
explicitly passed the complete 83-case connection file in 129.49
seconds, including all nine local failure titles. The actual checkout
was synthetic merge `06851da6eb969d63e1c7dc9f7c95f08d09fa4ff1`,
combining `a0f` with `aa58fa107389e8b9ae5949f7ad815943dfd94292`. This is
not standalone local `a0f` qualification and does not erase the nine
local route failures.
- Linux admission uses Node 24.22.2, pnpm 9.15.4 and Rust 1.97.1. Frozen
offline install, exact native hashes and real migrated PostgreSQL 18.1
passed. Native/protocol/build/lock inputs are identical between `6c18`
and `a0f`; validated cache reuse retains the actual `6c18` native-build
provenance. The selected packaged release binary is not called a fresh
`a0f` build. Database synchronization settings stayed on. This admission
alone does not explain the route failures.
- A fresh Mac snapshot of exact `a0f` passed frozen install, workspace
prerequisites, full sequential recursive typecheck and normal `pnpm
build`, both on their first attempt. Typecheck completed at 17:43:05
UTC, build at 17:44:43 UTC; both exited 0 with clean tracked/untracked
source. Pinned Node 24.19, pnpm 9.15.4, Rust 1.97.1, package concurrency
one, Cargo jobs one and a 12 GiB V8 heap ceiling were retained.
Largest-process maximum RSS was 7,668,154,368 bytes for typecheck and
10,038,837,248 bytes for build, not aggregate tree peaks. The first
build correctly withheld its freshness stamp because 125 ignored, pinned
Copilot assets appeared during preparation; exact path/hash analysis
explained this. The normal build then recorded a genuine stamp and
reused Cargo outputs in 1.18 seconds. No manual stamp, source workaround
or gate retry. This is darwin/arm64 static/build proof, not Linux
packaging/runtime or full tests.
- The historical a0 candidate's token checker passed all four gates
across 1,410 files, run directly with pinned Node 24 against the script
behind `pnpm check:token-gates`.
- The single controlled complete-file comparison passed: baseline `6c18`
83/83 in 287.07 seconds, then candidate `a0f` 83/83 in 293.03 seconds,
with zero skips. All nine earlier failure titles passed on both. Both
child/container exits were 0, no OOM/interruption; source and
native/resolver/PostgreSQL guards matched. This ran only after all owned
Mac compilation ended, with fresh processes/databases and identical
four-CPU-quota/6-GiB/overlay inputs. No filtering, instrumentation,
assertion/timeout/source changes or retry loop. This establishes
standalone complete-file recovery, not the cause of the earlier eight
timeouts/AI 422.
- The first unchanged full `pnpm test:run` on exact clean `a0f` ran from
October 30 at 18:01:43 UTC to 21:06:19 UTC. It failed naturally with
test and container exit 1, without OOM. General-server reported 1,257
passed, one failed and seven skipped files; 28,633 passed, one failed
and 103 skipped tests. Only the first of 22 invocations ran. The later
four groups and 21 invocations did not run. The sole failure was the
unchanged chat-shard CLI meta-test: its nested projectless pnpm lookup
hit the offline network guard. This was a failed full gate, not Google
provider acceptance.
- A finite environment pair reproduced that one meta-test failure, then
passed the same unchanged case after supported `corepack prepare
pnpm@9.15.4 --activate` as the existing non-root node user. The cached
pnpm payload was identical. Only the missing node-user last-known-good
record changed. Core source, dependencies, lockfile, fixtures,
assertions, timers and offline guards stayed unchanged. This isolates
the nested collection defect; it does not explain the earlier route
failures or complete the full gate.
- The corrected unchanged full command ran from October 30 at
21:29:03.500 UTC to October 31 at 00:02:44.207 UTC on the same exact
clean `a0f`. It failed naturally with exit 1, signal null and no OOM.
Source stayed clean before, at start and after. It retained two visible
CPUs/quota, 6 GiB, private IPC, normal overlay, matching native inputs,
synchronized real PostgreSQL 18.1, and the default five groups/22
invocations. Only the first general-server invocation ran; the other 21
did not run. General-server reported 1,265 files: 1,256 passed, two
failed and seven skipped. It reported 28,737 tests: 28,631 passed, three
failed and 103 skipped. The two chat cases emitted `Test timed out in
15000ms` at `chat-channels.integration.test.ts:77310` and `:81790`, with
durations of 15,045 and 15,058 ms. These were the durable pre-run FIFO
notice and ambiguous GitHub text restart/retry cases. The retention case
emitted `expected 5340 to be less than 3000` at
`skill-version-retention.test.ts:593`. Its real duration was 1,727 ms;
5,340 ms was the recorded fake-time directory-page gap, not a deadline
timeout. The timeout stacks do not identify the blocked internal await.
The cause of these failures remains unclassified. Inside this same
failed run, the complete 83-case connection file and 498-case service
file passed. The former Corepack meta-case also passed in 6,396 ms.
These component passes do not waive the failed/incomplete full gate. No
rerun, cancellation, timeout/assertion change or full-pass claim. A
later fresh two-case phase trace passed both chat cases; it did not
reproduce or establish the original timeout cause. At that checkpoint,
the PR stayed draft.
- Prior `6c18` targeted checks passed 930 tests across eight files and
token gates. Its selected queue group passed all 53 cases, including the
original 20 failures and 12 new named controls. Backlog cases took 10.49
and 8.45 seconds under the unchanged 15-second limit. Another 1,763 chat
cases were intentionally filtered. This is historical targeted recovery,
not a full pass or proof of the new repair. No timeout or assertion was
relaxed.
- Prior `6c18` full local qualification failed during serial typecheck:
server TypeScript was killed with code 137. Docker confirmed OOM in the
6 GiB container; full tests and build never started. The failure is
retained. The new Mac resource plan avoids repeating that undersized run
and does not change the shared Docker VM.
- Prior CI
[41089793558](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41089793558)
completed successfully for synthetic merge
`a73bffcfa3ede051961bcabcfa576c703d10c932` (`6c18` plus
`abc270ee4c03e13b4d6eaad156a41b4ebed4bb0a`). All 48 CI jobs passed; all
1,816 chat cases passed, including explicit log lines for the original
20. Check runs were 51 success, two expected skips and one Greptile
failure; legacy Snyk passed. These results do not qualify `a0f` or erase
its local route failures.
- Red proof on the unmodified master baseline: cold picker and Finish
setup restore broad defaults; managed and customer-owned drafts lack
saved intent. The stale setup tests also fail before the lock guard.
- Live staging baseline `b25f3e2af8e77d882cd22d36ca55640e6468e46f` also
reproduces the ordinary failure: select Gmail read-only only, cancel at
Google, reload the connector catalog, then Finish setup. All three
groups return enabled at read/write. Authorization was declined; no new
Google access was granted. This is baseline failure evidence, not a
deployed-fix pass.
- Historical affected suites: 800 tests passed before the final lock
guard. The final focused service and handoff cases passed 126 tests
after that guard. These are not results for the integrated candidate.
- Historical `pnpm -r typecheck` and final lock-guard server typecheck
passed. The historical a0 candidate passed the full recursive gate
separately, as recorded above.
- `pnpm build`: passed again on the final lock-guard source in commit
`1c31cde0ed199fbf4e41b7649590554f7886dfc2`.
- Historical `pnpm check:token-gates` passed; the historical a0
candidate's direct checker pass is recorded above.
- `pnpm test:run` on macOS failed on the frozen commit. It exited 1
after 9,432.41 seconds. General server results: 1,195 files passed, 10
failed, eight skipped; 26,706 tests passed, one timed out, 157 skipped.
Nine setup hooks timed out while starting embedded PostgreSQL. The
retained log records host-wide semaphore exhaustion (`semget`), not disk
exhaustion. One unchanged publication-text performance case also timed
out. Its cause is not established. Later workspace and serialized groups
did not run. This is a failed and incomplete local gate.
- The independent full-source Linux run also failed and was incomplete
on the same frozen commit. Native and real-database admission passed.
Chat integration reported 20 failures in 1,593 tests. Tool-access passed
all 479 tests. Native-session-executor passed all 965 tests. Docker
interrupted the run after about 48 minutes on October 29. The container
exited 143 and was not OOM-killed. The run produced no final group
totals or detailed assertion summary. Shell trap metadata reports zero,
but this is not a valid test-pass result. Source and evidence remain
unchanged. The focused diagnosis below retains those failures; their
cause is not assumed from the interruption. Neither historical local
full run passed.
- A fresh focused replay on the frozen source then executed exactly
those 20 case bodies. All 20 failed; this was not a setup-hook failure.
The two backlog cases reached the unchanged 15-second timeout. The 18
FIFO cases failed on missing notices or receipt rows. All 18 FIFO cases
passed when run alone in a fresh process and database. This supports an
order interaction, not a complete cause or baseline conclusion. A
separate two-backlog control used RAM-backed temporary storage and real
PostgreSQL with synchronization settings on. One backlog case passed in
10.65 seconds; the other still timed out at 15 seconds. No source,
assertion or timeout was changed. The full local gate remains open.
- Earlier mixed-revision run: it began before the final guard and
imported older source before collecting later regression cases. It
failed those new cases with that older cached module. This run is
retained, not counted as candidate acceptance. The fresh focused run
passed all seven stale-setup cases. No case was skipped to hide a
failure.
- Historical remote gates for `1c31` were terminal and clean: 53
successful contexts and two expected Storybook skips. Main CI
[40720536514](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40720536514)
passed. Greptile reviewed exact head
`1c31cde0ed199fbf4e41b7649590554f7886dfc2` at 5/5 with no actionable
findings; the separate review job also passed, and there were no inline
review comments. These results do not qualify `6c18`.
- CI source qualification: the chat jobs checked out synthetic merge
`ef36746b3d2ec52ba5727dcbe4da265a03421fe4`, which merges the PR into
`7d75ae0569e41786640cf09647ae8849411d2f22`. All 20 locally failing case
names have explicit passing CI log lines. These passes do not establish
standalone local acceptance of `1c31`. The merge adds two upstream Teams
tests, so it collects 1,595 chat cases instead of 1,593. Neither
backlog/FIFO assertions nor their timeouts changed.
- Independent source review found an earlier credential-identity race.
The guard and seven deterministic cases resolve that finding. A later
integration review missed the separate overlapping-start race. Both RED
failures and that review miss are retained. The narrow follow-up repair
passed 498 service cases, independent source review and fresh remote
CI/5-of-5 review; full local qualification remains incomplete.
- Source qualification is ready for merge. Live repaired-draft recovery,
delivery and Google approval are not established by these results. The
local whole command remains explicitly incomplete.

## Risks

- Historical drafts without a matching intent now need an explicit
service choice. This is deliberate and prevents silent broadening.
- A concurrent credential or method edit now returns 409. Reloading lets
the person review the changed setup.
- Overlapping starts keep separate requested scope sets. Updating draft
intent does not relabel an earlier OAuth state's consent request.
- Saved intent is not consent. Provider-reported scopes and current
action policies still control discovery and dispatch.
- No migration is needed. No existing token or grant is rewritten by
saving draft intent.

- Default ungrouped launch paths now execute six chat children in
sequence and 28 whole-command invocations. Exact coverage, local
launcher contracts and all six real default chat partitions passed. A
complete uninterrupted local whole-command run remains unqualified
because of host capacity.
- The retention test-clock repair depends on owned-I/O and zero-duration
connection-timer progress. The controlled regression, sensitivity mutant
and current exact-tree CI protect the original assertion. It did not
reach a completed row in the interrupted local whole run.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, described by the runtime as GPT-5 based. The exact runtime
model ID and context-window size are not exposed to this task. Used
reasoning, code execution, browser verification, and independent
delegated review.

DottaandPaperclip 8ff812cdde feat(chat): deliver proactive task messages to agent chats (#18374)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent Chat gives each person a persistent conversation with each
agent.
> - Tasks and routines produce results outside that conversation.
> - Those runs need a safe way to bring a requested result back to the
person.
> - The server must select the agent's own chat and check the source
task's access rules.
> - This pull request adds proactive chat messages and unread
indicators.
> - People can see the result, open its source task, and reply in the
same chat.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Server, native runner tools, shared contracts, database, and UI.

**Problem or motivation**

An agent can report progress on a task or comment on an authorized task.
It cannot send a routine result to its own standing chat with the
responsible person. A morning review routine therefore cannot leave a
visible digest in that person's chat.

**Proposed solution**

Add `send_chat_message({body, idempotencyKey})` and `POST
/api/agents/me/chat/messages`. The server selects the company, agent,
and responsible person from the active run. It saves an attributed
comment and audit record in one transaction. The chat shows a
source-task link and per-person unread state.

**Alternatives considered**

A destination parameter on a generic comment tool would expose
unnecessary routing authority. A new delivery worker would add another
durable delivery path. This change uses a dedicated tool and the
existing comment and live-event paths.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the experimental Agent Chat capability in `ROADMAP.md`. The
existing `enableAgentChat` setting controls it. Related public work:
Refs #13282, Refs #13283, and Refs #14408. Searches for proactive chat
and unread chat found no duplicate PR.

## What Changed

- Add a focused messaging service shared by the native tool and HTTP
route. It checks current run ownership, execution mode, recipient
membership, task access, and task privacy.
- Reuse the canonical company/agent/person conversation. Save the
comment and audit record together. Keep task completion and chat
execution separate from delivery.
- Add source-task provenance and source-scoped retry keys. Identical
retries return the saved receipt. Changed content returns a conflict.
- Enforce the conversation's fixed agent at the shared comment-write
boundary. Keep normal reply cancellation and session checks.
- Add chat unread state, accessible agent dots, aggregate Chat
indicators, and visible-message read cutoffs. Refresh through existing
live events.
- Add the request-key constraint, native tool contracts, documentation,
capability maps, stories, and regression coverage.

## Verification

- Local delivery/security proof: all 38 proactive-message cases pass.
Eight credential-scope regressions and four quota regressions fail
against the prior source. The repaired delivery and canonical
cross-issue cap suites pass all 49 cases; all 31 OpenAPI tests, server
typecheck, and capability-map checks pass. The shared per-run cap covers
native and HTTP sends, mixed ordinary mutations, concurrent last-slot
contention, and retry/recovery without double charging.
- Credential tests preserve the authenticated person and authorizer;
reject bridge/test credentials and persisted skill-test runs after
task-mode changes; and recheck API-key revocation, scope, and
responsible person after destination locking. The earlier
delivery/native-authority suites passed all 74 cases before the four
quota additions.
- Four PostgreSQL contention cases cover native and HTTP sends plus
retries during a native chat mutation. All four deadlock against the
earlier source and pass with destination-before-source/run locking.
Recovery and human-reply delivery enqueue only the human comment; a
proactive digest never wakes the chat agent.
- Passed 108 companion conversation, native-authority, and OpenAPI
tests; 112 runner catalog/workflow-report tests; 47 completion-delivery
tests; and 25 project-handoff tests. Focused runner tests cover native
tool availability without generic API tools.
- All 327 affected UI tests, UI typecheck, token gates, and catalog
checks pass. The read hook retries at most three times, respects server
retry delay, coalesces only seen cutoffs, recovers on reconnect, and
cancels on scope changes.
- Real browser journeys with a deterministic process agent verify
routine-to-chat delivery, first-chat creation, unread state across
reload, the source link, secondary chat navigation, and a follow-up
reply referring to the digest. This does not qualify live GitHub
retrieval or model output quality.
- The Storybook showcase uses production components with deterministic
network fixtures. Rendered interactions pass for the landing, ordinary
read success, transient read recovery, and persistent failure after
bounded retries. Both Chat navigation variants update from two unread
chats to one while only Kodi's dot clears. Mobile and light variants
were reviewed. The existing Coordinator Recents label contrast finding
is unchanged; no Linux visual baseline archive exists.
- Current master's independent sandbox migration retains 0418.
Regenerated the feature migration as 0419 from the combined schema and
retained exactly the newest five snapshots; numbering/safety, replay,
and schema-drift checks pass.
- Workspace typecheck and build passed before PR preparation; canonical
server/UI typechecks passed again on the combined tree. Migration
`0419_slippery_impossible_man.sql` passes safety and schema drift checks
on disposable PostgreSQL, including interrupted index repair, concurrent
migrators, one-time owner read-state backfill, preserved receipts, and
two SQL replays. A default five-second local snapshot comparison timed
out; a diagnostic 30-second run passed without drift.
- Earlier failures are retained in the record: full local `pnpm
test:run` and broad shards encountered embedded-PostgreSQL startup,
timing, and provider-recovery failures. Thirteen selected
external-channel cases pass in isolation on the original and changed
sources; an unordered comment-row assertion now explicitly orders both
reads. The earlier route registry, native tool count, runner catalog,
and accessible Chat badge-name failures were fixed and passed full
remote CI on `920b3bb7db`.
- Repeated managed-skill server8 failures came from CI's newer synthetic
merge: its Cloud guard correctly rejected the old local-disk fixture.
Master independently repaired the fixture in #18385; this branch keeps
that repair unchanged. All 57 managed-skill and Cloud prerequisite cases
pass on the combined tree, and that fixture has no remaining PR diff.
- Current reviewed head `dc16f314739a6d977bed21cb1446d0e80a541578`:
Greptile 5/5 with no findings, Superagent security assessment passed,
advisory Paperclip Review 5/5 with no findings, and zero open review
threads. All 55 current-head check runs pass, with five expected skips
and the advisory review neutral at 5/5; Snyk also passes. No checks are
pending or failing. Protected squash auto-merge is enabled and is
waiting for required code-owner approval. A normal exact-head merge was
refused by the base-branch policy; no admin bypass was used. The
previous head's Superagent quota finding is fixed and covered above.

## Risks

- Chat remains company-visible. Delivery rejects a source task with
private-task, project, or ancestor restrictions.
- Read state uses a comment timestamp cutoff. The server retains
database precision and never moves a read receipt backward.
- The new unique constraint changes comment query planning. An existing
regression now uses an explicit row order. The migration builds the
unique index concurrently, then takes a brief table lock to attach it.
It uses the existing top-level migration and interrupted-index recovery
path.
- The upgrade backfills missing chat-owner read-state rows at the latest
existing agent comment. Existing read receipts remain intact. New chats
can still be unread before the human participates.
- Quota observation commits atomically with delivery. A rejected send
rolls back its attempted denial audit row and any first-chat creation;
the canonical warning remains in server logs, and previously spent quota
remains enforced. Identical/conflicting retries and receipt recovery
spend no extra slot.
- This version delivers in-app only. It adds no external-channel, push,
or email delivery.
- Local full-suite acceptance remains limited by the failures recorded
above. The feature stays behind `enableAgentChat`.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex. PR preparation and CI work used `gpt-6.1-sol` with tool
use and code execution. The earlier implementation also used Codex, but
its exact model ID was not recorded in the visible session. The
context-window size was not provided.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 87ae20ae65 fix(server): reconcile failed sandbox cleanup with signed absence (#18407)
Reconcile failed ephemeral Cloud leases through a signed cleanup-only absence observation when local historical inspection is unavailable. Preserve failure outcomes, exact resource bindings, retention and row-version fences; grant no run-continuation authority.

All 54 current-head checks/statuses passed. Greptile is 5/5, Medium, with no findings or unresolved threads. The 38 focused tests pass; both new reconciliation cases fail without the fallback. Isolated baseline and branch idle suites each pass all 225 cases. The original broader local teardown timeout is retained in the PR, and the full local run remains in progress.

Cloud protocol support is already serving in staging. Exact candidate composition and hosted provider sleep/wake qualification follow this merge. Production has not been changed.

DottaandPaperclip 91261d5a03 fix(server): preserve budget history for deleted resources (#18389)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Budget views show saved policies, incidents and spend for each
company.
> - A policy can remain after its agent or project has been deleted.
> - The overview currently stops when it cannot resolve that old
resource.
> - A current agent's budget then becomes unreadable during normal
setup.
> - This pull request preserves the historical row in display summaries.
> - Admission and policy changes still require a real company-owned
resource.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The budget overview throws `Agent not found` when a saved policy
references a deleted agent. One old resource prevents the company from
reading its current budgets. The same problem affects historical project
policies and incident summaries.

**Expected behavior**

The overview should retain historical policy and incident IDs and spend.
It should display `Deleted agent` or `Deleted project` for a missing
resource. Read access must not grant permission to execute work or
change a budget for that resource.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create an agent and a budget policy for it.
2. Permanently delete the agent after its other dependencies have been
cleared.
3. Read the company's budget overview. The existing service throws
instead of returning its remaining current and historical rows.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The isolated repair starts from merged commit
`d9354bbfc35ef74333e90e596ce21dc8e59149b9` and integrates the exact
merged baseline test fix `8595efc20bda3ce20a9fbbf34a5d156a6fcf6d57`. It
also integrates the actual merged Antigravity auth fix
`18b1637b6371a6a6adade857e2a73654ee626fef` (#18254). The diff against
the selected merged parent remains two budget files.

**Related work**

Earlier reports and implementations: #11058 and #4333. This extracts the
product prerequisite from #18351 so it can qualify independently of that
journey's other dependencies. The change contains only the budget
service repair and four database regression cases.

## What Changed

- Resolve deleted agent and project scopes only when building display
summaries. Preserve their original IDs, policies, incidents and
accounting records.
- Reject a saved policy or incident that resolves to another company's
resource. Propagate other read failures.
- Keep missing-company resolution, work admission and policy changes
strict. Validate company, policy and incident scope bindings before
either incident action. A budget raise requires a live company-owned
resource. Historical dismissal may proceed only for a genuinely deleted
owned agent/project, and must reject live foreign or mismatched scopes.
- Add four canonical PostgreSQL regression cases: deleted agent history,
deleted project history, missing-scope admission and budget raises with
safe historical dismissal, and foreign/mismatched references. The
history cases also verify current ledger spend and unchanged stored
rows.

## Verification

- Real-service RED/GREEN against official PGlite with every canonical
migration: the original overview throws for deleted history; the repair
returns the historical IDs, incidents and spend while retaining current
budgets.
- Mutation regression RED/GREEN: missing-resource budget raises must
reject before writes; owned deleted-scope dismissal must reject its
linked pending approval, retain policy/agent/ledger data and incident
history, and remove the incident from the active list. Live foreign and
mismatched scopes reject both actions without mutations.
- Current integrated head `b3434f5ad05fd3067379352700c36bfe826179c4`:
all four canonical PostgreSQL regressions pass in [server
2/12](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41142588583/job/124361194077),
and all five existing budget-service tests pass in [server
7/12](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41142588583/job/124361194080).
Both use the CI merge against selected parent `18b1637`.
- Clean-build declaration typing passes in the current CI typecheck
gate. The earlier local source-alias no-emit check also passed,
including the canonical actor argument. The local worktree borrows
compiled dependencies from a sibling checkout; a later real-service
import was blocked by its stale `sandboxCreationOperations` export, so
clean-build CI is authoritative for the final integration. No production
workaround was made.
- `git diff --check` passes. Broad repository typecheck, tests and build
run in current-head CI rather than repeated locally. Native local
PostgreSQL could not start because this host exhausted its semaphore
pool; no global IPC settings or unrelated processes were changed.
- One unchanged Runner lane retry was authorized after a probable
intermittent close-settlement fixture failure. The [original
failure](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41142588583/job/124360234111)
occurred in `omitted-context` cleanup. A [fresh passing Linux
lane](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41142552195/job/124360110386)
passed the same case and all 1,998 tests with byte-identical entire
Runner and adapter-utils trees, lockfile, root package, scripts and
workflows, against the same merged base. The fixture has a five-second
close allowance with a 2.5-second suspension reserve; a host stall is
not proven. No budget path or changed close input was found. The [single
targeted
retry](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41142588583/job/124365812609)
passed the same case in 1,034 ms and all 1,998 lane tests; dependent
verification also passed. All 57 current PR checks are terminal and
green.
- The product helper requires all current CI and clean review before
merge. Actual QA budget-overview proof will run on the combined final
app before hiring qualification. No deployed success is claimed. The
older `b4863dd` artifact was never deployed; selected parent `18b1637`
adds sandbox/lifecycle changes and migration 0418, so whole-app identity
is not claimed. The budget module and relevant budget contracts remain
unchanged, and final hiring requires the combined final app with
explicit source identities.

## Risks

Budget summaries now return historical rows whose resources have been
deleted. These rows use explicit display names and preserve their
accounting data. They do not create a resource or relax work admission,
authorization or budget grants. Historical incident dismissal changes
only that incident and its linked approval; it does not resume work or
raise a budget. Cross-company references still fail closed. There is no
schema migration and no new background work.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The session does not expose a more specific
backend model ID or fixed context window. Used reasoning, repository
tools, TypeScript and database test execution.

DottaandPaperclip 45a3a92e6d fix(environments): persist sandbox ownership before creation (#18357)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages companies and the agents that do their work.
> - Remote execution creates provider resources that need a durable
owner.
> - The server could create a sandbox before it saved its lease.
> - A failed lease write could leave cleanup data only on the old web
server disk.
> - This change saves a company-scoped operation before creation and
transfers ownership atomically.
> - Recovery finds the original Daytona resource or records an explicit
manual reconciliation outcome.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A sandbox could exist without a lease after a database failure or
company rebind. Failed cleanup recording could then create a local
fallback file. Replacing that web server could lose the cleanup
reference.

**Expected behavior**
A failed admission write makes no provider call. An interrupted creation
retains a committed operation. Recovery must not create a second sandbox
or destroy an attached lease.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the disposable PostgreSQL cases in
`server/src/__tests__/sandbox-creation-operations.test.ts`.
2. Reject the lease insert after the controlled provider creates its
resource.
3. Start a new receiver process with a different empty web disk. It must
find the same resource and create one cleanup owner.

Related ownership report: Refs #14672. This change addresses new
allocations before lease persistence. It does not replace existing lease
recovery.

## What Changed

- Add an idempotent migration and a small creation-operation table.
Retain original company, environment and run identities across deletion.
- Commit creation intent before run, ad-hoc lease, and plugin task
replacement calls. Fence duplicate requests and ambiguous lease commits.
- Retain a known returned task resource ID in the existing operation
before attachment. Preserve manual reconciliation and never delete an
ambiguously attached resource.
- Keep company and run authority checks and atomic lease transfer with
the lease owner.
- Reuse Daytona names, labels, read-only inspection and claimed cleanup.
Keep provider payload handling in the provider.
- Retain nonsecret credential identity hashes. Refuse recovery lookup
under a changed credential value.
- Record manual reconciliation for missing/deleted or explicitly
inactive saved credentials, versions, and provider vaults. Keep
temporary resolution failures retryable. Never reactivate a disabled
credential.
- Use transaction signals and concrete deadlines. Failed records back
off independently. Manual reconciliation stays durable and quiet.
- Remove new orphan-file fallback writes from the covered paths. Keep
legacy file replay and its tests for cutover.
- Replace obsolete fallback-producer assertions with normal-entrypoint
durability tests. Keep cleanup, diagnostics and warm handoff coverage.

## Verification

- [Independent current-head
verification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18357#issuecomment-6534744320)
passed 190/190 combined tests, 40/40 incoming TestOps tests, full
workspace typecheck, and build. PR head
`958af986130f25e136065ad30d1fdd843c46255c` has tree
`e6c3e5b02182d5941a70ccf5bf55638df3c2e28d`, identical to tested combined
commit `b9d7a9c2e9b30f0153685fb24a5f70b56132201f`. Real PostgreSQL,
compiled Rust Runner and controlled object providers were used;
external-S3 integration remains outside this local proof.
- Current head `958af986130f25e136065ad30d1fdd843c46255c` normally
merges master `8595efc20bda3ce20a9fbbf34a5d156a6fcf6d57`. The sole
conflict was the maintenance test: a parameterized case now preserves
both legacy-local `local_storage` and valid shared-S3
`provider_mismatch` checks, including the parent local receipt, exact
version identity, missing-snapshot/no-seed refusal, and unchanged
persisted row. The three master TestOps files remain intact. No
production, schema, migration, or package changes were made after the
fully qualified prior head `0b4d05505e`. Independent review approved the
resolution; the full managed-skill-content file and Cloud guard controls
pass 58/58 (105.11 seconds). [Required PR CI passed on this exact merge
head, first
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41136987412):
54 successful checks and three intended skips. The additional Paperclip
review is neutral at 4/5; two external Superagent checks (Contributor
trust and Security Scan) remain in progress with zero annotations and no
assessment, so they are not passing scan evidence. Greptile reviewed
exact head `958af986130f25e136065ad30d1fdd843c46255c` at 5/5; the final
thread audit has zero unresolved threads. All completed evidence below
retains its recorded revision scope. The additional Paperclip Review on
`958af98613` is neutral at 4/5 with a Ship verdict and no must-fix or
should-fix item. Its optional observation is that a generic create
rejection remains pending/manual even when an operator believes
allocation did not occur. This change preserves uncertainty because the
generic create-error contract does not prove provider absence; no new
error classification or provider-specific compensation was added.

- [Independent final-source
verification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18357#issuecomment-6534328247)
passed all 189 real-PostgreSQL/Runner and controlled-fixture cases, full
workspace typecheck, and build. The integration commit
`c8411a8528386f4824b340ec5fdaaed1efb9ea69` has the same source tree as
final PR head `0b4d05505e` (tree
`bda65efc14b4c904d0f589154db77bb160641c8c`). Controlled object-provider
coverage passed; the separately guarded external-S3 suite was not run
because the bounded local MinIO pull was unavailable. This includes the
two final compatibility fixes.
- The first final-head CI attempt exposed one E2E timing failure in
`disconnect-write-recovery.spec.ts:181`: the title stayed unchanged
through the 15-second session-recovery poll. The same original case
passed in 13.8 seconds on immediately prior head `7ec06f77b7`, and all
UI/session/E2E source is identical across those heads. The failure log
and CI artifacts are retained; no cause is claimed. One failed-job-only
retry is authorized on this evidence, without changing a timeout,
assertion, or production behavior. [The single failed-job retry
completed
successfully](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41133619710/attempts/2):
all 35 E2E shard cases passed (6.6 minutes), including the original
session-recovery case in 14.0 seconds. The initial failure remains
disclosed and its cause remains unproven.
- Final head `0b4d05505ee0aa72f2981cdff74761406960ec73` adds two
independently reviewed integration fixes after the complete 7ec CI
matrix exposed two deterministic failures. Server 9/12 failed legacy
local-storage maintenance because the CLI reached the new Cloud server
startup guard; server 5/12 found the Daytona package version did not
match its bumped manifest. The failed run is retained at
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41131204203. It is
not passing evidence and was not blindly retried.
- Maintenance now constructs the existing explicit storage dependency
after loading the required persisted Cloud snapshot, and passes it to
both maintenance owners. It can verify legacy local storage before
provider cutover while normal Cloud server startup remains guarded. The
original case reproduced red locally, then the complete
managed-skill-content and managed-cloud-prerequisites files passed 57/57
(32.05 seconds), including missing-snapshot refusal, unchanged stored
configuration, and existing server guard controls. Daytona package
version now matches manifest 0.1.10; the complete bundled package
identity file passed 14/14 (3.98 seconds), and explicit
manifest/lifecycle controls passed 2/2 (328 intentionally filtered; 3.42
seconds). An initial workspace-filter command matched no project and is
not counted as pass evidence. The final diff changes no sandbox runtime
or schema behavior. [Full CI is green on this exact final
head](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41133619710/attempts/2):
56 successful checks, three intended skips, one additional
incomplete/neutral Paperclip Review, and no pending or failed checks.
The neutral review is not a passing assessment. [Greptile reviewed the
exact final head at
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18357#issuecomment-6529396969),
with no new actionable issues and all review threads resolved.
- Final combined head `7ec06f77b7c14a745c569d18401f16df3d26b626`
includes master managed-skills migration 0417 and shared-storage
prerequisites from `198218bf55` through normal merges. Sandbox creation
moves to generated `0418_curved_lady_mastermind.sql`; its idempotent SQL
is byte-for-byte unchanged. The regenerated 0418 snapshot contains both
sandbox creation operations and the master skill mutation receipts, and
points to the master 0417 snapshot. Master SQL and journal history
remain intact. Exactly five snapshots remain, 0414 through 0418. The
only sandbox-specific changes since the approved credential policy are
migration metadata/number and the matching test/document references; the
sandbox runtime files are unchanged.
- [Independent final combined
verification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18357#issuecomment-6533960026)
passed on integration revision `e6f05b4cf0cd`, containing final sandbox
head `7ec06f77b7` and actual master `198218bf55`: migration/declaration
checks, all 158 real-PostgreSQL/Runner and controlled-fixture cases (251
seconds), full workspace typecheck (81 seconds), and build (35 seconds).
- Final combined migration proof: fresh real PostgreSQL has both tables.
A separate original-0417 sandbox table with a retained pending row
survives two applications of the renamed 0418 SQL unchanged, with the
expected primary/index and foreign-key structure. Migration
numbering/safety checks pass. The normal runtime migration reapply case
passes 1/1 (20 intentionally filtered cases; 46.69 seconds). The first
temporary qualification harness stopped before any database assertion
because its external `.ts` file selected CommonJS; the `.mts` harness
corrected that setup and passed. Independent review approved the exact
metadata and reference diff. Earlier full suite and live-provider
results below retain their stated revision scope.

- Credential-policy head `c606d473b03709f27577a55a1dfc0b0d3b4359fd`
handles the remaining inactive-credential review warning. The existing
boundary accepts only concrete secret-owner 422 codes and exact
no-details disabled/coming-soon vault messages. Unknown 422,
authorization errors, provider wrappers, and temporary database/provider
failures still propagate. Independent source review approved this
three-file correction. No generic resolver, schema, provider protocol,
retry cap, or activation behavior changed.
- Creation/cleanup qualification at `c606d473b0`: all 39 cases pass
against real PostgreSQL (81.27 seconds). The new cases use actual
disabled/archived saved secrets, a valid disabled version, and provider
vaults created ready before normal API updates disable them or mark them
coming soon. Each remains manual through restart/repeated scans, with
zero provider lookup and no retry deadline. The independent plugin idle
blocker remains intact. The temporary 503 control retains retry
ownership and later recovers one cleanup owner. Before this correction,
all five inactive-state cases remained pending; that failed evidence is
retained. The prior 18-case known-ID task proof below belongs to
`237144fcf6`, whose helper and task path are unchanged by this
correction.

- Known-ID head `237144fcf69a249c0e0310563428c0f55ed6d55c` also
addresses the independent task-replacement reliability warning. The
existing creation operation now saves only the known nonsecret returned
resource ID before expiry validation and attachment. The write is scoped
to operation/company/original environment and allows only a missing or
matching ID. It changes no ownership state and copies no resolved
configuration, credentials, or provider payload. Independent source
review approved this four-file fix.
- The complete real-PostgreSQL task suite passes 18/18 (9.52 seconds).
Rejected attachments retain the ID through manual reconciliation and
repeated scans. A real committed attachment followed by an injected lost
response retains the same active lease and attached operation, with no
release or second create. Same-ID retries work; conflicting IDs and
foreign companies cannot change it. The initial three regression cases
failed because the ID was absent, before the fix.
- The shipped Daytona manifest does not declare task support, so it
cannot enter this generic replacement path. The dispatcher requires both
declared task support and an environmentTask worker method. Generic
drivers without creation lookup still use manual reconciliation, with a
known returned ID retained when the database write can commit. No
automatic lookup capability or unconditional compensation was added.

- Previous boundary-fix head `8ba77def151ea85eeae2db7693254db7f87673b0`
fixes the fresh review finding about missing credentials. Only known
secret-owner 404 results at the recovery secret-resolution boundary
select the existing manual outcome. Provider inspection and transient
database/provider errors remain retryable. Independent source review
approved this change.
- Secret-boundary focused acceptance at `8ba77def15`: all 34 cases pass
against isolated real PostgreSQL. The complete creation suite passes
16/16 (100.75 seconds); the complete cleanup coordinator suite passes
18/18 (99.83 seconds). The new cases use normal saved-secret creation
and deletion, confirm zero provider lookup, restart/repeated scans, no
automatic deadline, preserved independent plugin idle blocking, and no
additional idle blocker after the controlled worker supplies its quiet
proof. A temporary 503 resolution failure preserves pending ownership
and later recovers one cleanup owner. No additional live provider
resource was created.
- Failed attempts remain part of the evidence. The initial red run
reproduced the pending-operation bug and also exposed a numeric-deadline
test harness mistake, which was corrected. A later combined run reported
an existing replacement-receiver failure and a new idle-fixture
assertion failure; it was interrupted while the next test file remained
in imports. An isolated diagnostic confirmed that the manual state was
correct but the installed fixture plugin correctly blocked sleep without
its independent quiet proof. The corrected test retains that blocker
assertion before supplying the controlled worker witness. The unchanged
replacement-receiver case passes in the final complete 16-case run; its
earlier failure is not counted as a pass or assigned a proven cause. No
timeout or production idle guard was relaxed.
- Greptile reviewed previous combined head
`7ec06f77b7c14a745c569d18401f16df3d26b626` at 5/5, with no unresolved
review threads. Its CI produced the two concrete integration failures
addressed above. The earlier CI and live evidence below remain
historical evidence, not a claim that the current full gates have
completed.

- Master integration update: merged `dbff3747b8` and then latest master
`76fde891cc` without rewriting branch history. Only `doc/DATABASE.md`
conflicted; the sandbox ownership, object-backed run evidence, and cloud
configuration sections all remain. The master merges changed no sandbox
implementation, migration, or provider code. Migration numbering/safety
checks pass and exactly five schema snapshots remain. At merge head
`f5d23d4a59828835d01c150f83fa2645fb2d3bec`, the two focused
creation/coordinator suites pass all 32 cases against isolated real
PostgreSQL (64.57 seconds). Those merge-head checks precede the
missing-credential fix below. The earlier live Daytona proof still
covers the unchanged normal creation/lookup/teardown path; the new
missing-credential branch is qualified with real PostgreSQL and
controlled provider hooks.

The optional Superagent Security Scan was inconclusive on prior head
`7ec06f77b7`: its pinned PR merge-base checkout failed or timed out,
with a neutral conclusion and zero annotations. An earlier scan could
not start within 120 seconds; a bounded rerun request returned HTTP 404.
These scanner failures are not passing security-scan evidence. On final
head `0b4d05505e`, the additional Paperclip Review check is neutral: its
assigned review execution did not complete and produced no validated
assessment. Fresh Greptile 5/5 and independent source review are
separate evidence. Previous-head required CI, independent review, and
the live Daytona qualification below passed.

- [Complete previous-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41105726052)
passed at `0b5cbb763ab8faa25aa0ff1d8a405cdc0d3db409`: 53 successful
checks and three intended skips, including typecheck, full tests, build
and E2E. Greptile is 5/5 on this head and both original findings are
resolved.

- Initial head: 200 PostgreSQL runtime, creation and coordinator tests
passed. The corrected head also passes all 32 creation and coordinator
tests, including deletion before/during lookup, a failed lookup after
deletion, restart, settled polling and actual idle-safety checks. Cases
cover failed admission, failed lease writes, concurrent recovery, lost
provider replies, ambiguous transfer retries, company rebind,
environment deletion, stopped runs, lookup backoff, restart, drain and
settled SQL quiet.
- Separate receiver processes: passed. A controlled HTTP provider
retains the resource while three independent receiver processes use two
empty web disks. Recovery creates one cleanup owner and never repeats
creation.
- Fresh PostgreSQL migration and two additional applications: passed.
The pending creation row survives unchanged.
- Server TypeScript and SDK/shared build checks pass after the
corrections. Migration numbering/safety checks passed. Exactly five
schema snapshots remain.
- Daytona adapter: all 330 tests passed, including stable-name lookup,
ownership checks, deletion and the updated manifest version. An earlier
run exposed the version expectation and it was corrected. Previous-head
CI passed.
- Live Daytona acceptance passed on `0b5cbb763a`: isolated real
PostgreSQL, normal runtime acquisition through independent receiver
processes, actual Daytona plugin/SDK 0.203.0, one disposable Ubuntu
24.04 sandbox (1 CPU / 1 GiB RAM / 1 GiB disk). A forced lease insert
failure retained the committed operation; a fresh receiver with empty
disk found the same sandbox, repeated recovery retained one cleanup
owner, and the actual claimed cleanup sweep expired the lease and
resolved the operation. Independent SDK lookup returned typed not-found;
ordinary recorded-ID inspection returned destroyed. This successful
attempt made one create, one recovery lookup, and one teardown. Two
earlier failed harness/provider-confirmation attempts are disclosed in
the [live acceptance
record](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18357#issuecomment-6530313054).
The coordinator independently queried all three exact resource IDs
through the SDK and confirmed typed not-found for each.
- Complete CI-affected heartbeat/plugin warm-task suites passed 21/21
after test corrections. An unchanged workspace exposure case passed in
isolation after the prior CI shard reported an unhandled readiness
rejection. Complete previous-head CI and refreshed review passed.

## Risks

- Deleted companies retain an explicit manual reconciliation outcome.
Recovery does not retry missing credentials or insert a lease for a
deleted company.
- Only Daytona declares automatic creation lookup. Other uncertain
providers retain `needs_reconciliation`. A missing creation name alone
cannot prove that a late allocation will never appear.
- Pending operations use the existing process-local signal and startup
recovery model. This does not add cross-replica wake delivery or prove
deployed sleep.
- Legacy direct provider probes and custom-image setup use separate
lifecycles. They are outside this replacement of the run-lease
orphan-file fallback. The normal Test path that acquires a runtime lease
is covered.
- Existing orphan files still require the separate cutover inventory and
settlement. This change does not delete them.
- The schema change is additive. The new SQL can be reapplied.
Historical SQL and journal entries are preserved; only the oldest
generated snapshot is pruned.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, with tool use, code execution and repository
review. The harness did not report the context-window size.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 81ecaf0654 fix(server): bound failed lifecycle verification (#18383)
Failed lifecycle verification could allocate another test environment every minute indefinitely. Count failed host verification tests separately from claims, persist a repair wait for confirmed configuration failures or three generic failed tests, and clear it through authorized retry or execution configuration changes.

Preserve typed temporary execution-target failures through adapter checks so timeouts, transport failures and interrupted probes keep automatic recovery. Retain existing readiness, authorization, termination and cleanup gates. Document the policy and add real PostgreSQL persistence and actual OpenCode adapter regressions.

Verified 398 focused tests (one Windows-only test skipped on macOS), repository-wide typecheck and build, structural checks, fully green current-head CI and Greptile 5/5 with no unresolved comments.

DottaandPaperclip 8595efc20b fix(evals): support official TestOps job metadata (#18385)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and verifies real work through Product
E2E tests.
> - The fixed Chat feature workflow uses TestOps to select and report
one backlog case.
> - Official registration exposes a workflow-query URL and a Branch
parameter.
> - The existing reader accepts only workflow-file or numeric URLs, and
the admin launcher requires an operation parameter.
> - These assumptions reject valid official metadata before the feature
can run.
> - This pull request supports the exact observed form while preserving
source, selection, and once-only execution checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #18322, #18375.

**What happened?**
The second zero-model bootstrap stopped with a generic job-mismatch
code. Ordinary TestOps UI inspection then showed an official
workflow-query URL outside the accepted literals and a Branch-only job.
The exact first failed predicate in that bootstrap remains unknown.

**Expected behavior**
Accept that exact fixed-workflow URL. Preserve the existing master
Branch value when the job has no operation parameter. Keep rejecting
foreign URLs, unknown parameters, wrong branches, and conflicting
operation IDs before mutation.

**Steps to reproduce**
Pass the official query URL and Branch-only metadata through the
existing bootstrap, selection, and admin-launch owners. The new pure
controls exercise those actual helpers without a CLI, backend, or model
call.

**Paperclip version or commit**
This change starts from `0e15c92073a09e50df99190a37f69a86286b989b` after
#18375.

**Deployment mode**
GitHub Actions and the protected TestOps reporting environment.

## What Changed

- Share one exact URL predicate across bootstrap, evaluation selection,
and admin preparation. Add only the observed official workflow-query
literal.
- Support Branch-only, operation-only, and Branch-plus-operation jobs
with strict definition IDs, names, values, and duplicate checks.
- Preserve the exact master Branch value. Set an existing operation
parameter to `evaluate`; otherwise use the fixed workflow's existing
default.
- Use the same checked parameter vector for job and plan writes and
their readbacks.
- Report distinct fixed bootstrap predicate codes without response
values.
- Document when the protected operation-parameter ID is required.
- Align one existing Cloud-maintenance test with the inherited
managed-Cloud S3 policy. Preserve the same-version local-storage proof
in the parent, use valid synthetic Cloud settings in the child, and
check the expected provider mismatch without S3 requests. Retain the
no-seed and unchanged persisted-row assertions.

## Verification

- URL controls: three failures on the parent; all pass with the
correction.
- Branch controls: two failures and one correct rejection on the
predecessor; all pass with the correction.
- `node --test tests/runner-e2e/chat-feature-testops-api.test.mjs`: 40
owning pure/mock controls pass on Node 26.4.0.
- Two MJS syntax checks and `git diff --check` pass. TypeScript noEmit
was not run for this MJS/documentation change.
- The first [normal CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41131094974)
failed only in the managed-skill Cloud fixture and its dependent
verification gate: 46 jobs passed, two failed, and one skipped. The
tested merge included a new upstream policy that rejects the test's
local-disk Cloud configuration. The exact caught runtime exception
remains unknown.
- Three pure controls using the actual policy validator pass: the old
invalid Cloud fixture rejects, the new synthetic S3 fixture admits, and
an invalid master key rejects. An initial tsx wrapper IPC permission
error executed zero controls and remains a separate setup failure.
- The PostgreSQL/maintenance-child test was not run locally. On new-head
AWS CI, `managed-skill-content.test.ts` passed all 17 tests in server
shard 9.
- [Normal
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41133876636)
is green on exact head `b76d5dd40d7711f1b5f6b6316b1114c0aae02d57`: 48
jobs passed and one skipped. Both required `ci / e2e` and `ci / verify`
pass.
- Greptile reviewed this exact head at 5/5 with no actionable findings
or unresolved review threads.
- No actual CLI, backend, model, provider, app, database, build, or
bootstrap was run to validate this correction locally.

## Risks

The exact original bootstrap predicate is still unknown. This fixes a
demonstrated metadata false negative and preserves the prior failed run.
Actual backend parameter types and integration dispatch still need
verification. Unknown metadata stops before the once marker and writes.
This PR changes no workflow, credential, case, model, grader, clock, or
private-evidence policy. It does not claim a passing feature result.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`) with reasoning, code editing, tool
use, and pure test review. The runtime does not expose the exact
context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 198218bf55 fix(config): require shared storage for managed cloud (#18350)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Managed Cloud instances must retain shared objects and secrets
across server replacement.
> - Implicit storage defaults can select local disk or an unintended
bucket.
> - Cloud runtime settings now come from a canonical database snapshot.
> - This pull request validates bootstrap prerequisites before database
setup and effective S3 settings after snapshot resolution.
> - The benefit is an actionable refusal before local signing state or
HTTP setup, while valid canonical Cloud settings work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A managed Cloud instance could start with local disk storage, an
implicit bucket, or a local key file. After canonical Cloud
configuration landed, checking only environment or file values would
also reject a valid database bucket. Shared schema defaults could make
an omitted raw bucket appear explicit.

**Expected behavior**

Managed Cloud requires external PostgreSQL, a stable environment master
key, and effective S3 settings with a nonblank bucket. The canonical
snapshot remains the configuration authority. Invalid configuration
refuses startup before signing or HTTP effects. Self-hosted defaults
remain compatible.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Select managed Cloud with its tenant token or managed configuration
document.
2. Leave storage as local disk, or omit the S3 bucket from a raw
canonical snapshot.
3. Start the server. Startup must refuse. An explicit valid bucket in
the canonical snapshot must work without a file or environment bucket.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Current base: `4edd10804e2b42941aa2038e90c362c13a0b98dc`.

**Deployment mode**

Managed Cloud. Ordinary self-hosted defaults remain unchanged.

Related PRs: #18335 owns canonical Cloud runtime configuration. #18327
owns S3 run logs. #18352 owns credential persistence. #18347 owns
cutover checks. This PR adds configuration prerequisites to those
existing boundaries.

## What Changed

- Validate external PostgreSQL and a stable environment master key at
the Cloud bootstrap boundary, before database setup.
- Validate effective S3 settings after canonical snapshot publication
and before Cloud signing, runtime consumers, or HTTP setup.
- Require a nonblank bucket in the Cloud snapshot schema. Reject omitted
or blank buckets in every legacy Cloud file before one-time import
normalization, even when an environment bucket is supplied. Keep shared
self-hosted schema defaults.
- Preserve typed bucket provenance at the existing file-read boundary.
Accept explicit canonical bucket names, including `paperclip`, and
environment settings when the snapshot is null.
- Validate effective legacy storage with the existing resolver before
seeding. A rejected candidate leaves no canonical rows, so a corrected
source file can be imported on retry. Environment overlays are checked
but never persisted.
- Add real PostgreSQL snapshot and migration-retry tests, startup
refusal tests, and environment/file compatibility controls. Document
that Cloud always requires its stable environment key, even with an
external default secrets provider.

## Verification

- Latest focused acceptance passed 199/199 in six files (54.29 seconds),
using the command below plus
`server/src/__tests__/cloud-configuration-migration-postgres.test.ts`.
Real PostgreSQL proves rejected storage leaves all three migration
authority rows absent, then a corrected legacy file imports on retry. An
external-default-secrets control proves the deliberate unconditional
Cloud master-key contract.
- Before the peer correction, the frozen product diff passed 178 tests
in five files: managed-cloud-prerequisites, cloud-runtime-config,
server-startup-feedback-export, config-file, and
cloud-configuration-readers. Command: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/{managed-cloud-prerequisites,cloud-runtime-config,server-startup-feedback-export,config-file,cloud-configuration-readers}.test.ts
--maxWorkers=1 --no-file-parallelism`. Real PostgreSQL used a qualified
POSIX test-only PG18.6 override because the host cannot supply the stock
runtime's SysV semaphore allocation.
- Coverage includes raw database and legacy omitted/blank bucket
rejection, valid database and environment buckets, null snapshots,
explicit default-named buckets, self-hosted compatibility, and refusal
before local signing mutation.
- The real AWS SDK configured-provider control uses a simulated loopback
S3 service. It writes, reads from a fresh provider, and deletes an
object. It also reads an encrypted credential with the stable
environment key. This does not qualify production cloud permissions.
- `git diff --check` passed. Final merges add unrelated master changes
from #18241, #18363, and #18370; the focused storage product diff is
unchanged.
- Peer review reproduced a fresh legacy local-disk import that gained
the default bucket before an S3 environment overlay. The importer now
requires a raw explicit bucket for every legacy Cloud file. Six controls
cover omission/blank values with and without an environment bucket; the
full focused rerun passed 184/184 across all five files in 194.89
seconds.
- Initial revised startup testing passed 167/168: one fixture omitted
the database URL and failed before its intended key assertion. The
corrected final run passed 178/178. An initial direct server typecheck
failed because Runner declarations were not built; this is a setup
failure, not a compile pass. Integration verification rebuilds
dependencies before full checks.
- Prior head `fae1e4aa` passed complete CI with 53 successes, two
intended skips, and Greptile 5/5.
`de71345f379cecb71dbfb219f35e14f942c10a3f` then passed complete CI (55
successes, three workflow skips, and a neutral external review), with
Greptile 5/5 and zero unresolved threads. The external review identified
the preseed rejection problem; its correction is committed at
`75e04d0d77e19dcef0a8cb070b6b518f0f173b14`. The final merge head is
`19b809ea2823a6a4e5ceb48ef2c2bac4721733d6`; [Fresh complete
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41127309762)
passed on that head: 55 successful checks, three workflow skips, and one
neutral external review. Greptile reviewed this exact head at 5/5 with
no actionable issues. Both earlier external review threads are resolved
with the tested fixes. Earlier infrastructure retries remain documented
in [the first
diagnosis](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18350#issuecomment-6529964690)
and [the runner shutdown
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18350#issuecomment-6530364769).
Earlier missing SDK build and fixture metadata failures were repaired
before those passes.
- Current frozen-head CI first attempt failed one unchanged Antigravity
authentication success case in Runner Vitest 1/2 (`outcome=failure`,
1994 tests passed). The same file passed 11/11 locally in 2.33 seconds,
and identical Runner source passed the prior complete CI run. Attempt 2
retried only failed jobs (the Runner shard and dependent aggregate).
Both passed without a source change. No second retry was used. The exact
timing cause is not established. [Failed
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41127309762/job/124309181778).
- No production data, buckets, or live credentials were used. Complete
local repository suites are not duplicated in this worktree;
current-head required CI supplies the full suite gate.

## Risks

- Managed deployments with local disk, omitted buckets, file-only keys,
or missing external database URLs now refuse startup. Operators must
supply valid prerequisites before rollout.
- Required deployment environment overlays must remain stable across
replacements. For example, a saved local-disk provider with an explicit
bucket can use an environment S3 provider; removing that required
overlay correctly refuses startup until the environment or canonical
configuration is corrected. Environment settings are never silently
copied into the canonical row.
- Effective legacy storage must also pass before first seeding. A bad
candidate does not create authority rows. Existing saved rows remain
authoritative and can require environment overrides or a canonical
configuration change if they are invalid.
- A present legacy Cloud file needs an explicit raw bucket even if its
saved provider is local disk or its environment supplies a bucket.
Correct the file before one-time import, or use the existing
absent-file/null-snapshot environment-only setup. Environment overlays
are not persisted as operator choices.
- A previously stored canonical nonblank `paperclip` bucket is
authoritative. Prior normalization erased whether that value was
originally explicit. This change cannot recover that provenance and does
not reject existing nonblank canonical values.
- Validation proves configuration shape, not cloud permissions, database
reachability, or key compatibility with existing encrypted data. Keep
the master key stable across replacements.
- Cloud snapshot JSON parsing is stricter; omitted or blank raw S3
bucket values need correction. No database migration or provider
operation changes are added. These prerequisites do not prove that every
server persistence path is disposable.
