DottaandClaude 6505538fc5 fix(realtime): limit a shared live-event read set to 100 events and 250 ms (#20632)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server sends the output of a running agent to the browser on the
company WebSocket.
> - #20624 lets the events that are already in the queue share one set
of permission and redaction reads.
> - That set could serve a full queue of 1,000 events for one second.
> - If access is revoked during that time, the principal still receives
the queued output. The security scan on #20624 reported this.
> - This pull request limits one set to 100 events and 250 ms.
> - The benefit is a small, stated limit on output that a revoked
principal can receive, with the same delivery speed.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20624

**What happened?**

After #20624, one set of permission reads can authorize each event that
was in the queue when the set opened. The queue holds at most 1,000
events or 1 MiB. The set stays in use for one second. If a membership,
an API key or a task grant is revoked in that time, the server still
sends the remaining queued events.

**Expected behavior**

A revocation stops delivery after a small, fixed quantity of queued
output. The documentation states that quantity.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open a company WebSocket as a user who can read a private task.
2. Publish 1,000 transcript events for a run of that task in one burst.
3. Revoke the task grant while the server delivers the burst.
4. The server delivers the remaining queued events.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at 90dd864bff.

## What Changed

- `live-event-delivery.ts` replaces a shared read set after 100 events
or 250 ms. Before, the limit was one second with no event limit.
- `live-event-delivery.test.ts` pins the exact limits. One set serves
events 2 to 101 and event 102 opens a new set. Access is revoked during
that set, and event 102 is not delivered. A set is kept at 249 ms and
replaced at 250 ms.
- `doc/live-transcript-delivery.md` states the limit and that queued
output from before a revocation can still be sent up to that limit.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/realtime
src/__tests__/live-events-run-read.test.ts` in `server/`. 66 tests pass.
- The boundary tests fail when either limit changes by one in either
direction (99, 101 events; 249, 251 ms).
- The 200-event burst test against PostgreSQL issues 22 statements with
this limit. Separate reads issued 1,401.
- Not run locally: a clean server typecheck. The local worktree reports
type errors in `server/src/services/chat-channels/slack/adapter.ts`,
which this change does not touch. CI supplies the typecheck.
- Not verified: delivery delay on a hosted instance after deployment.

## Risks

- More permission reads for large bursts: one set for each 100 queued
events. A burst of 1,000 events uses 10 sets, not 1,000.
- Output produced before a revocation and already in the queue can still
be sent, up to 100 events or 250 ms. Before #20624 the limit was the one
event in flight.
- No schema, API or protocol change.

DottaandClaude 070d6f83fd perf(realtime): share permission reads among queued live events (#20624)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A task page shows the output of a running agent as it is produced.
> - The server sends each output event to the browser on the company
WebSocket.
> - Before each send, the server checks permissions and redacts secrets.
Each event did its own sequential database reads.
> - When output arrives faster than those reads complete, the queue
grows. The text reaches the browser later and later, and the server then
closes the connection.
> - This pull request lets the events that are already in the queue
share one set of reads.
> - The benefit is that live output keeps pace with the run, and a
revoked permission still applies to the next event.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

On a hosted instance, the live output of a running task sometimes
appeared very slowly. A probe WebSocket on the company event stream
received events 0.5 seconds after their creation time at the start.
After 30 seconds the delay was 23 seconds. The server delivered about 6
events each second. Then it closed the socket with code 1013.

The delivery loop for a connection is serial. For each transcript event
it ran a membership read, a scope decision, a run lookup and a task read
decision. Native run events added a settings read and a secret registry
read. A burst of 200 events issued 1,401 SQL statements.

**Expected behavior**

Live output reaches the browser at the rate the run produces it. The
cost of the permission checks does not grow with the number of events in
a burst. A revoked permission stops delivery immediately.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use a deployment that authenticates users, with a database that has a
network round trip.
2. Start several agent runs that produce output at the same time.
3. Open the task page of one run and read the live output.
4. Compare the creation time of each `heartbeat.run.log` or
`heartbeat.run.event` message with its arrival time.
5. The delay grows continuously until the server closes the socket with
code 1013.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at 79e28dc0d0.

## What Changed

- `live-event-delivery.ts` gives each queued event a sequence number. It
passes a shared read set to `authorize`. A set serves only the events
that were in the queue when the set opened. The delivery replaces the
set after one second and discards it when the queue is empty.
- `sharedDeliveryRead` returns the pending read for a key, or starts it.
It removes a read that fails, so the next event reads again.
- `live-events-ws.ts` uses the shared set for the membership or key
check, the transcript scope decision, the run binding and the task read
decision.
- `live-run-event-redaction.ts` uses the shared set for the username
setting and the registered secret values of the run.
`run-secret-redaction.ts` adds `redactorForRun`, which reads the values
one time and returns a redactor.
- `doc/live-transcript-delivery.md` describes the shared reads and their
limits.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/realtime/live-event-delivery.test.ts
src/realtime/live-event-delivery.cost.test.ts
src/__tests__/live-events-run-read.test.ts
src/__tests__/live-events-ws.test.ts
src/__tests__/live-events-toast.test.ts` in `server/`. All tests pass.
- New integration test against PostgreSQL: 200 transcript events in one
burst. All events arrive in order. The burst issues at most 40
statements. Without the shared reads the same test fails with 1,401
statements. After the grant is revoked, the next burst delivers nothing.
- New unit tests: 39 events that wait behind one read share the next
read. An event that arrives during a read starts a new read. A set is
replaced after one second. A failed read is not shared.
- The existing tests for revocation, deleted tasks, restricted agent
keys and live redaction pass without changes.
- Assumption tested: an event never uses a read that began before the
event entered the queue. The unit test holds a read open and adds an
event to prove it.
- Not verified: the delay on a hosted instance after deployment. The
measurement above is from before this change.

## Risks

- Permission freshness. Before, each event had its own check. Now a
check can serve events that were already in the queue, for at most one
second. A revocation applies to the first event published after it.
Events already in the queue at the time of the check can still be sent.
That window existed before between a check and its send.
- Secret values. A read set holds decrypted registry values while a
burst drains. The delivery discards the set when the queue is empty and
when the connection closes.
- Plugin run streams use the same redactor and get the same shared
reads.
- No schema, API or protocol change.

DottaandPaperclip 6cc765bd81 feat(live): deliver recoverable transcripts to interested views (#17456)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip should show live agent output without repeating
presentation work for every view.
> - Execution, acknowledgements and durable checkpoints must remain
independent of browser interest.
> - The server already owns authorization and redaction at delivery.
> - A shared browser connection can declare which visible runs need full
transcripts.
> - Catch-up must handle subscription races, disconnects, terminal
output and slow consumers.
> - This PR delivers the backend and UI contract together without a
database migration.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Visible transcript consumers receive recoverable output through one
shared browser connection.

**Current behavior**

Independent views can create duplicate connections, presentation work
and recurring history reads. A subscription race or filtered native
history can lose the saved tail.

**Proposed behavior**

Negotiate run interests, subscribe before catch-up and retain
independent canonical recovery cursors. Keep lightweight lifecycle and
attention events available without full transcript delivery.

PR 4 of #17097 → #17439 → #17455 → #17456. The runtime feature is
independent of hot-upgrade recovery; the stack order is for review
convenience.

## What Changed

- Add additive WebSocket capability negotiation, replacement interests,
revision acknowledgement and resynchronization notices.
- Reference-count visible consumer interests on one company-scoped
browser connection. Preserve older-client/server behavior.
- Reuse canonical structural/current-user/registered-secret redaction
for plugin run notifications through the same bounded delivery queue.
Keep producer and uninterested streams free of recipient lookups.
- Refresh application queries after the matching recovery
acknowledgement, including one follow-up after an older in-flight read.
Ordinary interest acknowledgements add no refresh.
- Keep authorization and redaction at delivery. Browser interest cannot
change harness execution, PRP ACKs, checkpoints, accounting or canonical
logs.
- Deduplicate by sequence and log identity. Catch up terminal output and
saved tails without recurring reads during healthy negotiated streaming.
- Bound delivery to 1,000 items and 1 MiB. Overflow requires
resynchronization; persistent congestion closes the connection.
- Preserve compact-history expansion from current master across
paginated catch-up. Snapshot the original read window before React can
defer its update.

## Verification

On current source `f6710f0b3c`, Linux [job
122604880503](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40624101891/job/122604880503)
executes all five run-read permission cases successfully (2.574
seconds), including grant and revocation on the same connection. Its
shard passes all 2,430 cases.

Current [server-shard job
122604880416](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40624101891/job/122604880416)
has 1,513 passes, one failure and three skips: an unchanged nested-clone
expiration/restore test exceeds its 15-second deadline. The preceding
`5efc6c48bf` source has identical non-document bytes; [its corresponding
job
122601359272](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40623017917/job/122601359272)
passes all 21 nested-clone cases, including that case in 9.505 seconds.
The exact timing cause is unproven. The single diagnostic [retry job
122609332597](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40624101891/job/122609332597)
passes all 21 nested-clone cases (61.316 seconds), including the
formerly timed-out case in 7.003 seconds, and all 1,514 shard cases
(three skips). The failure remains recorded; no timeout or assertion was
changed.

After the server squash merge and qualification retarget, all 50 focused
server cases and all 91 focused UI cases pass again, with both
typechecks and token gates. Runner vendor preparation rebuilds current
master inputs before those tests. This source needs fresh CI and
reviews; prior CI and browser receipts do not qualify it by inference.

Current candidate `f6710f0b3c` now targets master `6987c2f20b`, after
merged #17097, #17439 and #17455. Its diff contains only transcript
delivery and its documentation. It adds no database migration.
Retargeting changes only the evidence document; all production and test
code is byte-identical to `5efc6c48bf`.

On the eighth integration, all 50 focused server delivery cases and all
91 focused UI cases pass, with both typechecks and token gates. The
following 35-case receipt belongs to the earlier delivery correction.
Four low-queue authorization/decoration stall variants and the
late-rejection case fail before correction. They now verify the
five-second read deadline, old and negotiated clients, revisions that
cannot reset the deadline, unaffected sibling connections, rejected late
results, and timer cleanup. The first combined toast run has four
loopback EPERM failures and 31 passes; its permitted repeat passes all
35. Earlier 28-case evidence excluded the toast file.

The permission correction requires the current HTTP company-scope
transcript permission, plus task access, for both native events and
legacy logs. Prior Linux source `49a8783e9b`, job 122549913643, executes
all five run-read cases, including grant/revocation on the same
connection, successfully. That source placed this file in server shard
11; later shard assignments can differ and must be checked against their
actual inventories. The older `405bedd189` receipt retains a separate
scheduled-retry teardown race and inherited fixture collision; neither
is waived. The new head must pass again in Linux CI.

The seven extracted stream-recovery tests preserve their assertions. All
39 related legacy/native cases, UI typecheck and token gates pass after
restoring the initially missed fixture helper. Earlier full workspace
build/typecheck and Chrome journeys at `445a76563c` cover two views,
company switches, reconnect, terminal catch-up, reload and zero
recurring healthy transcript reads. Those browser receipts are
historical source evidence and do not qualify this new head by
inference. The [qualification
record](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/f6710f0b3c84c6fdb2021df67206261b446dfc97/doc/plans/2026-10-22-hot-upgrade-qualification.md)
retains exact earlier UI/history, source-boundary and cleanup failures
with their fixes and limits.

The workload-cost test preserves bounds and authorization callback
counts for zero interests, one viewer, multiple browsers and a slow
viewer. Its socket congestion is simulated. It measures neither SQL nor
network costs. Current permission checks and the final hosted
active-agent/viewer matrix remain unmeasured; no production savings are
claimed.

Fresh exact-head CI, legacy status, completed Greptile 5/5, resolved
feedback and ordinary merge eligibility remain required.

The earlier recipient corrections pass all 47
registry/plugin/delivery/WebSocket/toast cases and all 174 UI
provider/recovery/interest cases, both typechecks and token gates on
source `b202e59a25`. A real bus/host-service test registers a synthetic
run secret through the production registry and reproduces its raw
notification before the fix; native/legacy/final notifications now
redact it, disposal prevents late worker notification. A later P1 review
reproduces lost final notifications on settings-read and
secret-resolution failure. Both cases fail before correction. Any
delivery failure or subscription timeout now sends one content-free
stream error and removes the plugin subscription. It never changes the
agent execution or run status. Later events start no new redaction
reads. The final integrated six-file server lane passes all 50 cases,
with server typecheck and token gates. Existing browser delivery
behavior is unchanged. Storage and secret-provider seams are scripted.
Two real React Query/provider regressions first miss a run during
resync; both now refresh after the valid replacement ACK, including
pending-read and stale-scope cases. The prerequisite qualification batch
passes all 118 cases and E2E typecheck after master integration. Fresh
CI, security scan and reviews remain pending on this head.

The contribution-rule review correction removes 104 explanatory comments
introduced by this slice and keeps the ordering, deadline and
plugin-delivery explanations in the delivery document. Existing comments
and functional test/lint directives remain. All edited source files have
identical parsed non-comment tokens before and after the change. All 50
server delivery cases and all 91 cases in six affected UI suites pass,
along with token gates. The new head requires fresh CI, security and
review.

## Risks

A slow or disconnected viewer must resynchronize from authorized
canonical history. It may see a display gap until catch-up completes.
Company changes and revoked access must remove delivery interests. This
slice adds no database migration and cannot change execution or recovery
authority. Full transcript delivery evaluates current company-scope
permission per delivery. Active plugin recipients also perform canonical
redaction reads; viewer-load database costs on this final source remain
unmeasured.

## Model Used

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