DottaandPaperclip e0276e0166 fix(workspaces): identify remote command timeouts (#18827)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote workspaces prepare repositories and save files through
sandbox commands.
> - Each command has a timeout and a known operation.
> - The transport discarded that information when a command timed out.
> - A failed clone then appeared as the same generic error as other
failures.
> - This pull request keeps the operation and timeout in a fixed
diagnostic.
> - Operators can identify the failed stage without exposing command
output.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A remote workspace setup command reached its 300-second transport limit
before provider work started. The workspace layer reported only
`remote_workspace_operation_failed`. That message concealed the timeout
and the affected operation. A later full clone on the same sandbox image
passed in 107 seconds, so the original clone delay remains unexplained.
This PR repairs the loss of diagnostic information. It does not claim to
prevent the underlying delay.

**Expected behavior**

A transport timeout must remain a failure. Its diagnostic must identify
the operation and configured limit. It must exclude raw output and must
not automatically repeat a command whose remote outcome is unknown.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Return `timedOut: true` from the sandbox command boundary during
workspace preparation or cleanup.
2. Observe that the base implementation reports only
`remote_workspace_operation_failed`.
3. Apply this change. Preparation reports
`remote_workspace_operation_timed_out: prepare (configured timeout
300000ms)`. Cleanup retains its separate 10-second limit.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The regression was reproduced on master base
`367f29478d14003cc5c0f161b7ce8f3164993634`. The fixed current head is
`be45ce6594254bd6b94023a550d8b655dd704bb0`.

**Deployment mode**

Hosted Paperclip with native Runner and Daytona sandbox execution. Local
acceptance also uses disposable PostgreSQL and filesystem commands.

Related work: #18403 introduced remote workspace authority. #18705 added
a fixed full-disk diagnostic. I searched recent clone and
remote-workspace PRs and found no duplicate timeout-reporting repair.
This is a defect fix and does not add a roadmap feature.

## What Changed

- Give each internal workspace command a closed operation name: prepare,
repository, archive helper, capture, restore, or cleanup.
- Preserve that operation and the configured limit in a typed error when
the transport reports a timeout. Do not claim a measured elapsed time.
- Keep other failure diagnostics and exact safe-message checks
unchanged.
- Preserve typed cleanup timeouts in the operation cleanup journal while
retaining generic diagnostics for untrusted errors.
- Add preparation, cleanup, and real-PostgreSQL lifecycle regressions.
Document the timeout and the need to reconcile saved receipts before
recovery.

## Verification

- Red: both transport regressions failed on the base implementation. A
separate real-PostgreSQL cleanup regression reproduced the review
finding: the operation journal replaced a typed timeout with a generic
error.
- Green: all 62 remote transport and archive tests and all 50
real-PostgreSQL workspace lifecycle cases passed. The lifecycle suite
ran with an explicit disposable database; it was not skipped. Command:
`pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/services/remote-workspace-transport.test.ts
server/src/services/remote-workspace-snapshot-archive.test.ts`.
- Safety: a timeout with exit code zero still fails. Raw stdout and
stderr stay out of the error. A timeout cannot claim the fixed
unfinished-Git diagnostic. No command retry occurs. Existing saved files
remain unchanged. Existing archive, restore, receipt, symlink,
credential-isolation, and full-disk controls pass. The cleanup lifecycle
cases retain the acknowledged snapshot, preserve working files, avoid
duplicate uploads, record only a safe typed timeout, and settle cleanup
on the next normal reconciliation. An untrusted error that mimics the
timeout prefix stays generic.
- Live acceptance: production transport code ran against actual Daytona
SDK 0.203.0 timeouts on the incident image, with 4 CPUs, 8 GiB RAM, and
a 10 GiB disk. A controlled one-second SDK limit produced the generic
baseline error and the fixed exact preparation timeout. The current
`be45ce6594` code was rechecked for both preparation and cleanup. Each
returned the typed error and its own configured limit (300 seconds and
10 seconds) while the controlled SDK fault remained one second. Each
case made one command call. Each disposable sandbox was deleted before
the next case.
- The first live-probe attempt used an incorrect error-name check. It
failed its acceptance check and remains recorded. The probe was
corrected to use the same SDK timeout base class as production. Its
first sandbox was deleted. This was a probe setup failure, not red
evidence for the repair.
- A separate same-image probe ran the real full repository preparation
successfully in 107 seconds. The affected command path is unchanged
except for error reporting. The original task was retried once through
the product on deployed source
`adb49a44346849e751548b2fb640693dbfad4b6f`. The requested memo and its
first document revision persisted after reload and matched the
downloaded attachment. The run succeeded, the task reached Done, its
execution lock cleared, and final workspace save and result commit
succeeded. The diagnostic PR is not deployed.
- Recursive typecheck and build passed on `be45ce6594`. `git diff
--check` passed. The first full-suite attempt stopped before tests
because the offline install had skipped an embedded PostgreSQL native
postinstall. The package's official symlink hydration fixed `initdb`.
- The next Mac run passed 350 chat cases and hit one unchanged 15-second
chat deadline. That case then passed in isolation, and all six full chat
shards passed. The broader Mac matrix was later stopped as partial when
CI results became available. No full single-command Mac pass is claimed.
- Full Vitest file coverage uses the exact successful CI merge tree,
`d264fd98e7fb6eff4a9e6b00d402f88894cc0e57`. Its canonical inventory has
2,899 files. Passing CI covered 2,057 files. The remaining 842 ran
locally through the standard exact-file harness. The inventory and
selection checks show no unassigned files. All four changed source/test
files are byte-identical between the PR head and that merge tree.
- The first remaining-file run passed 771 files. The database group
passed 68 files and reported four deadline/readiness failures in three
unchanged files. Those same three files passed all 12 cases when run
sequentially on Node 24.22.2, matching CI's major version. Assertions,
readiness limits, and test deadlines did not change. The first attempt
used Node 26.4.0 with a parallel UI workload; this does not isolate the
contribution of runtime version versus load. Both attempts remain
recorded.
- [GitHub
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41699549115)
is green on current head `be45ce6594`: `ci / verify`, typecheck, build,
all selected server/chat/workspace groups, Runner checks, and all eight
browser shards passed. Greptile is 5/5 with no open threads. The prior
P2 was resolved by removing new code comments.
- Structured Paperclip review remains queued because its own previous
accepted result exhausted workspace export recovery. A fresh
current-head request is saved, but normal Retry returns HTTP 409
(`accepted_result_without_new_input`). Its advisory cleanup finding is
fixed in `be45ce6594` and covered by red/green lifecycle evidence. This
check is informational. The branch requires `ci / verify` and `ci /
e2e`, and both pass. The independent review-service limitation remains
recorded; this PR is not deployed.

## Risks

Timeout error text changes. Consumers that compare the old generic
message may need to accept the new diagnostic. No such production
comparison was found in this repository. API shapes, deadlines, retries,
ownership, credentials, and model selection do not change. A timeout
still does not prove that the remote process stopped or that a save
failed before publication. Existing recovery must reconcile that state.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip f7ad1dc7ca fix(workspaces): make attached project repositories writable (#18770)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people assign work to AI agents and inspect the
result.
> - A task can use repositories from more than one project.
> - Remote workspace preparation treated every additional project as a
read-only source.
> - This rejected valid Git repositories before the provider started,
even when no source was read-only.
> - The task page then hid the preparation reason behind a generic
failed-attempt notice.
> - This pull request prepares authorized repositories as writable task
copies and shows redacted workspace validation errors.
> - People can work across both projects and see the reason if folder
preparation fails.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A remote task with a selected Git-backed project and another mentioned
Git-backed project failed before provider execution. It reported
`remote_workspace_readonly_sources_unsupported`. Neither project had a
read-only setting. The task notice showed only that the attempt failed.

**Expected behavior**

Each attached repository should be writable inside the task workspace.
This should preserve source access checks and saved work. A workspace
validation failure should explain its cause on the task page.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Configure remote workspace storage and a native sandbox environment.
2. Select a Git-backed project for a task.
3. Mention another authorized Git-backed project in the task.
4. Start the task. Preparation rejects the additional source before it
starts the provider.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against `dc9f387edc`, before this change.

**Deployment mode**

Managed remote workspace storage. Local regression checks use disposable
PostgreSQL and independent filesystem processes.

Related merged work: Refs #18403 and #18504. Those changes established
remote storage and metadata-only references. They still reject
configured cross-project repositories. No duplicate writable-repository
repair was found. Refs #18774 for the test-only retention-fixture repair
reused to unblock CI.

## What Changed

- Add every configured Git repository of an authorized referenced
project to `.paperclip-repositories/` as an editable task copy.
- Retain saved paths, refs, pins and files. Recheck retained project
access and source trust. Keep explicit read-only, local-source import
and remote feature gates.
- Keep committed snapshot repository coverage separate from later
requests. Honor configured default refs, resolve remote branch names,
and publish secondary checkouts only after checkout succeeds. Share
configured-ref resolution between root and attached-repository scripts.
- Include redacted workspace validation messages in the task
interruption projection and existing failure notice. Preserve Retry
permissions and render messages as plain text. Explain retained-folder
access and trust denials while preserving the dedicated low-trust
project-access path.
- Add source, authorization, redaction, UI and save/restore regressions.
Update the implementation contract and workspace maps.
- Reuse the reviewed test-only repair from #18774. Batch the
shared-workspace history fixture, verify its complete privacy-source
map, and drain owned test bodies before cleanup. Production retention
behavior is unchanged.

## Verification

- Red before repair: four source-resolution cases failed with the
reported read-only error. The task-error projection test also failed
because it omitted the cause.
- Green: 49 source and transport tests, 16 task projection and redaction
tests, and 10 UI tests. The assembled preparation check passes. All 48
remote workspace lifecycle tests pass. The full preparation suite passed
all 126 assertions but its cleanup hook exceeded 30 seconds. The
unchanged base reproduces the same cleanup timeout with all 126
assertions passing. The focused preparation check finishes cleanly.
- The real PostgreSQL/Git lifecycle checks cover both first-turn and
later project attachments. They verify the configured release branch,
saved edits, replacement allocations, unchanged source folders,
committed archive contents, and released writers.
- Review regressions were red before repair: the default ref became
null, later attachment failed during restore, non-default remote branch
checkout failed, and invalid secondary refs left partial checkouts. They
now pass.
- The local browser shows the workspace validation explanation and Retry
action. The fixture uses a saved failed run; this proves the error
display, not a successful live sandbox run.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass. Map, module-boundary and
token checks pass.
- A local two-turn acceptance probe repeated at `17ed67eaa7` used real
Codex CLI 0.165.0, `gpt-6-astra`, and `xhigh` effort. Codex wrote files
in both task repositories. The services saved them, removed the first
allocation and its Git sources, restored another allocation, and Codex
read the saved files and wrote a follow-up in both folders. This uses
the real source resolver and persistence services with a local
command-runner stand-in for sandbox transport. It does not qualify
Daytona, managed subscription forwarding, or the original task. The
first probe waited for stdin; closing the test harness pipe fixed that
setup error before provider work.
- `pnpm test:run` passed the first chat shard, then failed one chat
response concurrency assertion in the second shard. That case passes in
isolation on this head. The same isolated chat case passes on the
unchanged base. Both corresponding unchanged-base chat shards also pass
(351 and 324 tests). The cause of the earlier wider-suite chat failure
is not established. The preparation cleanup timeout and chat failure
remain part of this record.
- CI at `17ed67eaa7`: all other verification jobs passed. Browser shard
6 initially reported a request callback from the preceding test after
teardown; its single unchanged-code retry passed. Server shard 10 timed
out the 2,100-row retention confirmation fixture at 15 seconds on both
attempts. That exact case passes locally, but the repeated CI failure
required a repair. Its setup repeatedly rebuilt a shared-workspace
privacy map. The logs and failures remain part of this record.
- Reused the test-only repair from #18774 without changing its source
file. At `ab774e9418`, all 54 retention tests and all 25 ordinary
production privacy tests pass locally (79 total). Full CI
[41650626903](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41650626903)
passed on that commit, and its exact-head Greptile review was 5/5. The
fixture preserves its 2,100 rows, query-bound assertions, privacy-source
map, and completed-history test deadlines.
- The additional review identified retained-source access/trust denials
that still bypassed the workspace explanation. Real-resolver regressions
reproduced both plain-403 failures before the correction. Both now yield
a safe workspace validation explanation, while the dedicated low-trust
denial and saved workspace remain unchanged. The optional duplicate
ref-resolution block is also consolidated.
- Final review corrections: 65 source, transport and error-projection
tests passed, followed by all 48 lifecycle cases against an owned
disposable PostgreSQL database (113 total). The initial combined command
skipped the explicitly gated lifecycle suite; the subsequent dedicated
invocation enabled and passed all 48. Full workspace typecheck and build
pass. The first standalone lifecycle launcher lacked the repository
TypeScript loader; rerunning with that loader resolved its import setup
error. At previous head `7be02ea09c4ac76df560e8b517050cdf398f33f0`, full
CI [41654422329, attempt
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41654422329/attempts/2)
passed, Greptile is 5/5 on that exact head, and all review threads are
resolved. The first attempt timed out the unchanged voice-session
report/history case at 15 seconds; 3,027 cases in its shard passed. That
exact case passed locally, then its single unchanged-code shard retry
passed. The wider-suite timeout cause remains unproven. The completed
Paperclip advisory check is neutral; its earlier findings are corrected.
No staging deployment or original-task recovery is claimed.

- Master advanced while checks ran, producing conflicts in two adjacent
test additions. Merged `27d35314be` into this branch as
`d5c8d552939c86056abf8fe10833881b2ade41a4`, preserving both
workspace-error tests and the audited Stop/receipt tests. Kept workspace
maps to minimal corrections under the updated map rule. All 82 source,
transport and interruption cases, all 48 real-database save/restore
lifecycle cases, full typecheck, build, and map checks pass locally on
the combined code. Current-head [CI
41660719214](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41660719214)
and Greptile are pending; the earlier verified head has not been merged.

## Risks

- Additional remote project repositories are now editable task copies.
Shared source folders and upstream push permissions do not change.
- Snapshot coverage uses existing workspace metadata. Older workspaces
capture their previous inventory at reservation; successful save
publication advances coverage and snapshot identity in one transaction.
No SQL migration is needed.
- A retained copy can contain files from a project that is no longer
mentioned. Preparation rechecks that project's current access and trust
policy before reuse.
- Explicit read-only descriptors still fail. Source-less projects remain
metadata-only. Local folders still require import. No migration or
provider-pack update is needed.
- Error display reads only workspace validation errors. The existing
run-secret registry and username censor run before display truncation. A
redaction failure omits the explanation.
- The retained fixture repair pauses its row trigger only within the
isolated seed transaction, rebuilds the exact source map, and restores
the trigger before commit. A rollback regression and 25 ordinary privacy
cases pass. Its paged-case test budget honors the existing bounded inner
waits; production deadlines are unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tool use and code execution.
The exact serving model ID and context-window size are not exposed by
this session. The test-only fixture changes are reused from #18774,
whose model record identifies OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol. The optional live
acceptance probe uses `gpt-6-astra` with `xhigh` effort through Codex
CLI 0.165.0.

DottaandPaperclip 40ea7a9b89 fix(heartbeat): wait for inherited remote workspace writers (#18691)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - A child task can inherit its parent's remote workspace.
> - The remote workspace permits one writer until that writer saves its
files.
> - Reservation reports an active writer as a generic setup failure.
> - The existing shared workspace wait does not cover inherited isolated
workspaces or a race at reservation.
> - This pull request sends verified active writer contention through
the existing scheduled retry path.
> - The child keeps a live execution path while unfinished files remain
protected.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native sandbox task inherited an isolated remote workspace from its
running parent. Setup failed with `The workspace still has an unfinished
writer or save operation.` The child became blocked before provider
execution and had no scheduled continuation after the parent saved.

**Expected behavior**

The child waits for the active writer through the existing workspace
retry path. It keeps its workspace binding. A stale writer or a stopped
writer with unfinished saves still requires reconciliation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native sandbox task with remote workspace storage.
2. Create a child that inherits its isolated workspace or operator
branch while the parent is still writing.
3. Start the child. On the old code, atomic reservation raises a generic
setup failure.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on `410b0e27015495ab8951768b5b0b94727de33785`. Regression
reproduced on source based on
`554a770c6f8e48e327e19f5208b575a5ec5bce30`.

**Deployment mode**

Authenticated managed server, external PostgreSQL, native Codex with a
Daytona sandbox. The failed attempt stopped before runtime selection or
provider startup.

Related: #18611 permits inherited remote bindings. #16371 adds waits for
reused shared execution workspaces. This repair handles active writer
contention at atomic remote reservation. #17156 proposes a separate
change to task workspace inheritance.

## What Changed

- Return a typed conflict with the exact active writer from the remote
reservation owner. Keep company, binding, access, and writer checks in
that transaction.
- Translate a recent running writer into the existing heartbeat
workspace wait. Keep stale, unknown, stopped, dirty, and uncertain save
fences. The writer task lookup uses its primary key.
- Preserve the admitted assignee role across preparation so reassignment
cannot turn an old owner into a guest retry.
- Add PostgreSQL regressions for isolated workspaces, operator branches,
native writer identity, unchanged saved authority, admission after save,
durable retry, Stop, and reassignment before contention reaches the wait
handler.
- Update the development guide and workspace verification recipes.

## Verification

- Red: both inherited isolated/operator preparation cases fail on the
old code. They receive `HttpError(remote_workspace_writer_pending)`
instead of a workspace wait. No provider or allocation starts.
- Green: those same cases pass after the repair. The assembled public
heartbeat cases also pass: one scheduled retry owns the task lock, no
sandbox lease is created, the original writer and saved authority remain
unchanged, and Stop prevents retry promotion.
- Ownership race red/green: changing the assignee during preparation
produced `wasIssueAssignee: false` before the review fix. The same
regression now preserves its original role. A real transaction fault
boundary also reassigns the task after reservation rejects it and before
the wait handler runs; promotion cancels that retry with
`issue_reassigned`.
- Test isolation: an initial combined placement cached the synthetic S3
run-log backend and failed twelve later preparation cases. The assembled
native tests now have their own process. The ordered reproduction and
all four complete affected suites pass after that change: 171 tests,
zero skipped.
- Four additional saved-file lifecycle cases pass against disposable
Docker PostgreSQL 17 with independent filesystem execution and local
object storage. They restore inherited shared, isolated, and
operator-branch files on a new allocation and retain the second-writer
fence. The other 42 cases in that file were outside the selection.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`, and
`git diff --check` pass on the final source.
- The earlier `pnpm test:run` passed all six chat shards: 1,828 tests.
Its remaining general-server phase was interrupted after final-head CI
passed. That local command began before the review fix and is not a
complete local full-suite pass.
- Final head `096235d8fc80033f92d8de1fcfa9835795ba0456`: 54 successful
checks/statuses, three skipped checks, and two neutral checks. None is
pending or failed. All build, typecheck, general/serialized tests,
Runner checks, and eight browser E2E shards pass in
[CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41544310900).
The PR is mergeable with no conflicts.
- Greptile is 5/5 on that exact head. Its ownership finding is resolved
and no review thread remains open. Paperclip Review also reports 5/5
with no findings; its check conclusion is neutral. Its earlier
status-conflict recovery completed through the ordinary review request
path.
- Local environment: macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, pnpm 9.15.4, isolated
native PostgreSQL and the disposable PostgreSQL 17 lifecycle fixture.
The acquisition boundary is controlled in the focused preparation cases.
No live Codex/Daytona replay is claimed: the local environment and test
configuration lack the required test credentials.
- No deployment, merge, or original task recovery is claimed.

## Risks

- Incorrect contention classification could retry a stopped or
unverified writer. Only a running writer with a same-company task and
recent activity enters the wait path. Stale and terminal dirty cases
retain the conflict.
- Retries must not start another executor or release unsaved files.
Reservation remains atomic. The tests check unchanged writer authority,
no allocation before release, one durable retry, retained binding, Stop,
and reassignment before the conflict is caught.
- No API schema, database migration, provider configuration, model,
credential, trust, or approval changes.

## Model Used

- OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through Codex. The context window size is not
exposed in this session. Used reasoning, tool use, code execution, and
browser diagnostics. No sub-agents were used.

DottaandPaperclip 71a20453e1 fix(workspaces): honor inherited remote workspace bindings (#18611)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Task creation can bind a child to its parent's execution workspace.
> - Native sandbox runs reserve that workspace before the provider
starts.
> - Remote reservation rejected inherited isolated workspaces and
operator branches because the original source task differed.
> - This check stopped valid child tasks before their existing access
and writer checks could run.
> - This pull request uses the persisted binding and existing
source-access checks to admit that continuation.
> - The benefit is that authorized child tasks can continue saved work
while the single-writer lock stays effective.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A child inherited an active isolated remote workspace through normal
task creation. Its next run failed during setup with `Workspace
ownership changed.` No provider work started. The reservation guard
treated the original `sourceIssueId` as exclusive ownership, although
task creation had persisted a valid child binding.

**Expected behavior**

A bound child or follow-up can reserve the workspace after the prior
writer saves. Current task/run access, source visibility, trust, company
scope, closed-workspace state, and writer checks must still apply. The
original source task remains provenance.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a task with an active saved remote isolated workspace or
operator branch.
2. Create a child without an explicit workspace override.
3. Confirm that the child inherited the execution workspace ID.
4. Start its native sandbox run. The old reservation guard rejects it
before provider execution.

`06bc8db75c71142ed108e0f331394c5187015d6a`. The same guard is present at
`1a6017d6460267ad89d7e1784e2b521c28d8e9ac`.

Related: #17156 proposes separate workspaces for child tasks. This
repair preserves the current inheritance contract and enforces the
remote writer lock. #16911 addresses child bindings across repositories.

## What Changed

- Remove the original-task equality restriction for active remote
workspaces. Keep the existing persisted-binding and retained-source
authorization path. Explicit task-root selection follows the existing V1
filesystem contract; task-assignment grants do not define filesystem
permissions.
- Keep closed workspace rejection and unfinished-writer checks.
- Add database-backed regressions for inheritance, replay, competing
children, an unbound task, private source data, company isolation, and
closed records.
- Extend real save/restore tests for inherited isolated workspaces and
operator branches. Keep shared-workspace discovery coverage.
- Update the development guide and workspace maps.

## Verification

- Red: before the repair, the inherited isolated/operator cases fail
with `Workspace ownership changed.` The shared case passes. The unfixed
suite has five failures and four passes.
- Green: 11 reservation cases pass with real PostgreSQL 18 in an
isolated Docker container.
- An earlier run of the four affected workspace/preparation/trust suites
passed 191 tests. The review follow-up passes all 15 selected
reservation/save/restore cases. Inherited cases remove the original
files, use a distinct allocation and target, restore the saved file,
append child work, and independently read that work from the child's new
snapshot. Shared-source discovery stays covered. The filter excludes 42
other integration cases.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`, and
`git diff --check` pass. A direct server typecheck also passes after the
final test edit.
- `pnpm test:run` stopped in its first chat shard: 338 passed, one
Discord receiver-lease setup failure, 1,478 outside the shard. The
failing test passes in isolation on both the unchanged baseline and the
fix. Its suite-order failure is not explained by that retry and remains
recorded. The unchanged baseline also fails three other Discord
publication cases in that chat shard, while its next chat shard passes.
This does not reproduce or explain the original lease failure; both
results remain recorded. CI is complete on `e697f6e1b8`: 54 successful
check runs, one successful legacy status, three skipped checks, and one
neutral check. No check is pending or failed. Greptile gives this commit
5/5 with no remaining findings. The security reviewer accepted the
V1-contract explanation; both review threads are resolved.
- Live sandbox acceptance remains unverified. The available test
credentials could not resolve the required sandbox snapshot. The
provider rejected creation before workspace execution, and a scoped
follow-up found no allocation. No live model turn, deployment, or
original-task recovery is claimed.
- Local environment: macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, pnpm 9.15.4. Native
PostgreSQL startup hit the host semaphore limit; tests use disposable
Docker databases. No shared database was reset.

## Risks

- A bound child can now write after the prior writer releases the
workspace. Incorrect binding or access checks could expose source data.
Regressions cover unbound, private-source, and foreign-company
rejection.
- Concurrent children must not become two writers. A real transaction
race grants exactly one reservation; saved-file tests keep the second
writer blocked until save completes.
- No schema or migration changes. This PR does not change task-creation
inheritance, requested models, credentials, trust, approval gates, or
recovery budgets.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The exact serving model ID and context
window are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning, tool use, code
execution, and browser diagnostics. No sub-agents were used.

DottaandPaperclip 7751fc3107 fix(server): complete volume-free controller admission and recovery (#18543)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its volume-free web server must admit remote warm execution without
depending on a local disk.
> - Fresh run rows retain the initial legacy label during workspace
preparation.
> - The native runtime selector commits the execution mode later.
> - The earlier guard rejected valid remote runs before that selection.
> - This PR checks storage during preparation and the resolved lifecycle
during runtime selection.
> - Agent-file recovery also has to reconstruct disposable cache paths
from the retained remote directory.
> - The deployment test removes the complete predecessor home, including
immutable caches, to enforce that contract.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18518, #18529, #18533.

**What happened?**

A real Codex/Daytona deployment test failed during setup because the
volume-free workspace guard checked the initial run label. After fixing
admission, controller retirement first failed on an immutable skill
cache. Removing that cache exposed a production recovery failure: B
rejected the saved agent-directory path from A, even though the remote
execution identity was unchanged. The next live attempt recovered that
directory and transferred the same runner, but adoption then tried to
recreate provider launch assets from the deleted controller home.

**Expected behavior**

Allow remote workspace preparation before native selection. Reject
actual legacy and per-turn execution at the runtime boundary. Delete the
entire stopped predecessor home, including immutable caches, without
following links to shared dependencies. B must reconstruct its local
agent-file projection from the exact registered remote lease while
preserving the save baseline and unsaved remote edits. Reattaching an
already-running provider must not prepare a new launch or require the
old launch files. The full backend must recover the admitted
instructions from the matching durable run checkpoint.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the explicit
`rolling-web-deployment.runner-codex.daytona.recover-controller` Product
E2E cell with a complete server/UI build, disposable PostgreSQL/S3, and
an owned Daytona fixture. The new boundary regressions also reproduce
the premature guard and missing runtime rejection without a model call.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The failures were observed on
`247552fe0719dcc92f7b42c50b658be6f624986d`. This branch is based on
`e122478368`.

## What Changed

- Validate Runner and remote workspace authority before runtime
selection without trusting the initial run label.
- Reject resolved legacy execution and local-source fallback, preserving
the native warm-policy check before admission.
- Rebind remote agent-file caches on ephemeral controllers and retrieve
their validated contents without uploading over the retained execution.
Preserve pending saves when the remote collector is unavailable.
- Restore over-quota remote directories without applying save quotas to
run admission; ordinary saves still enforce quotas.
- Skip provider launch asset materialization when adopting an existing
Runner. A real-process regression deletes the old skill/instruction
sources before reattachment.
- Recover admitted system instructions through Runner-owned checkpoint
validation for the same run, session and context digest. Fresh launches
still compose current instructions.
- Make the attention-retention test advance past its database-assigned
deadline, fixing a clean-master clock mismatch.
- Serialize remote collection and cleanup across controllers with an
operation-scoped Postgres advisory lock; fence stale cache-path updates.
- Keep synthetic deployment probe tasks in a separate disposable company
so they cannot block the business completion oracle.
- Share the launcher's directory cleanup with rolling retirement. Reject
a symlink root and skip linked descendants.
- Test admission with real PostgreSQL transactions and cleanup with real
read-only directories and external symlinks.
- Update developer documentation and the canonical qualification record.
Broader deployment acceptance remains in progress.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed.
- All 156 workspace preparation, runtime selection and ephemeral
contract tests passed. Two new regressions failed before the source fix.
- Seven focused Product E2E cleanup/replacement tests and `pnpm
test:e2e:runner:typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm test:run` stopped at an unrelated 15-second chat integration
timeout after 338 passes. That exact test passed in isolation without
increasing its timeout. The later full-suite shards did not run.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit` reported 5,898 passes and 13 failures.
Clean master reproduced 11 failures in unchanged onboarding
expectations, operating receipts, Pi catalog assertions, workflow
bootstrap counts and embedded PostgreSQL startup. The other two workflow
assertions were fixed by the intervening master commit. These failures
are retained, not counted as passes.
- All 122 workspace-preparation tests pass after the reviewed
host-fallback fix. The first broader attempt exposed a test environment
leak; restoring the ephemeral flag between cases resolved it.
- Agent-directory and instruction regressions passed 179 tests. Five
focused cache-loss cases pass: different home, same path on an empty
filesystem, foreign lease, concurrent controller, and missing collector.
- The live fixture at `a18f6b85a3` gracefully stopped A and deleted its
entire home, then failed the 420-second remote reattachment deadline on
the saved local agent-directory path. That failure is retained; exact
owned sandbox cleanup was independently confirmed. The next live attempt
at `e14ca5f3e9` restored the cache and transferred the same runner, but
failed while rematerializing launch assets from A. Both failures are
retained and their owned sandboxes confirmed absent. No active-overlap,
ten-deploy, or production-canary acceptance is claimed.
- All 71 related Runner adoption/recovery cases pass, including the new
removed-context regression (failed before the source fix).
- The revised full agent-directory suite passed 110 cases and failed
three cleanup timing cases. All 20 cleanup/cache-loss cases then passed
in isolation with unchanged timeouts, including over-quota recovery.
- Server and Runner TypeScript checks pass after the latest corrections;
the live retry remains pending.

- The live test at `67714af9ff` adopted the same remote execution after
A was deleted, then failed while the full backend read the retired
instruction bundle. All owned sandboxes were independently confirmed
absent. Its regression now passes with actual backend recovery and no
new thread or turn. All 59 backend factory tests and focused checkpoint
identity tests pass. Runner and server TypeScript checks pass; the exact
committed server build passes. A fresh paid-model retry followed.
- The attention-retention CI timeout reproduced on clean master. The
deadline correction passes all 53 tests in that file with unchanged
timeouts.

- The real `cd690de4d3` run transferred the same runner/session after
deleting A, completed, and completed the next revision. During handoff,
372 reads and 38 saves had zero failures; all 38 saves were verified.
The full attempt was interrupted because the probe's open task
contaminated the business company oracle. This remains incomplete
evidence. The scope regression fails before the fixture fix, then
passes; all nine deployment support tests and E2E typecheck pass. All
three owned sandboxes were confirmed absent and temporary
credentials/storage were cleaned up. A clean corrected attempt is
running.

## Risks

- The runtime guard must still reject legacy and per-turn execution
before dispatch. Tests cover these refusals and a valid resolved warm
policy.
- Directory permission changes apply only during cleanup of stopped,
test-owned homes. Traversal does not follow symlinks. This changes no
production cache permissions.
- Cache reconstruction must not change remote execution authority or
rebase the original save baseline. Tests verify foreign-lease rejection,
preserved receipts, and absence of local-to-remote upload.
- Postgres locking is scoped to active remote file work and adds no idle
polling; local/durable-server locking remains unchanged.
- No schema or public API changes. External conversation exemptions
remain unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 Codex, with reasoning, repository editing, shell execution
and live integration-test tools. The exact runtime model variant and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

Latest real qualification at f5915fdc33: both empty-home replacements
completed with 523 reads, 53 saves and 53 verified saves, zero probe
failures. The active remote execution survived and completed once; saved
project bytes and the later useful answer passed. The full workflow
remains FAILED: the later continuation reset its native/provider session
and the public run row lacked the native terminal contract. These newly
exposed compatibility/projection gaps are tracked in the next
implementation slice; this PR is not a claim of full Railway
qualification. All owned Daytona sandboxes were independently confirmed
absent after cleanup.

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 5e4cc01073 feat(workspaces): keep remote files off the webserver disk (#18403)
Keep native sandbox workspace files independent of the webserver disk. Use encrypted saved versions and Postgres ownership so a replacement server can recover files and continue work. Enable the path by default for new eligible workspaces when durable storage is configured.

Preserve explicit opt-outs and existing host workspaces. Include safe snapshot repair, Files access, import, migration and retention. Bound saved-Files resources, preserve imported Git recovery, reject unfinished Git operations, publish immutable concurrent captures, and verify permanent object-version deletion.

Validated 471 targeted local controls, build/typechecks, all 40 CI partitions, fresh Greptile 5/5 and security review. The PR records original failed attempts and scoped retries.
