DottaandPaperclip 18e8c121d9 fix(runner): include Grok support in public installs with sandbox prerequisites (#14024)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents through a shared native runner.
> - Built-in harness support should ship with Paperclip's public
distribution.
> - Grok already speaks ACP; it does not require a new public bridge
package.
> - Sandbox provisioning owns the native executable and its pinned
version.
> - The runner must verify that prerequisite without downloading it
during npm installation.
> - This change separates built-in launcher identity from external
runtime identity.
> - Clean npm installation and live staging checks verify the
distribution boundary.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13882, #13973, #13977, #13979.

This follow-up now targets master after #13882 was squash-merged. It
replaces the private `@paperclipai/grok-acp` workspace package with
runner-owned assets. Current master is included so the branch also
contains the merged scheduler, complete-event capture, and durable
cleanup fixes.

## What Changed

- Ship Grok launcher and qualification metadata inside the runner's
compiled output and the public server's vendored runner tree.
- Remove the separate Grok npm package and all package-manager install
hooks for this runtime.
- Require the checksum-verified Grok Build 1.0.13 binary at
`/opt/paperclip/providers/grok/1.0.13/grok` in the selected execution
environment. Provision it explicitly in the Daytona image and CI setup.
- Keep native binaries outside the provider pack. Bind the built-in
launcher into the pack manifest.
- Preserve executable leases, descriptor-backed startup, credential
fences, permissions, and exact ACP model admission.
- Use `builtin:grok-acp` and `native:grok` as profile identities.
Historical package-profile sessions fail closed on resume rather than
being silently reinterpreted.
- Resolve built-in assets from the authenticated sidecar location,
including public server npm layouts. Keep the controller path out of
provider environments.
- Add clean npm tarball installation verification to the existing
trusted canary CI job and the admitted manual EC2 verification path. It
stages a unified release version and runs npm lifecycle scripts, then
verifies missing-prerequisite rejection and admission after separate
provisioning without credentials or inference.
- Include the controller-owned provider pack in stamped Cloud images.
Unstamped local images omit the pack and remain usable; remote ACPX
requires full source provenance.
- Correct CLI approval-page metadata for an already authenticated Cloud
board user; approval authorization remains unchanged.
- Honor explicit native-runner enablement in the Cloud agent picker and
direct setup page, keeping the flag disabled by default.
- Allow selecting the execution environment before connecting
credentials. Include Grok in the existing authenticated hello-probe
flow, targeting its pinned native prerequisite for runner setup.
- Recover an existing subscription sign-in conflict through an explicit
cancel-and-retry action, serialized after cancellation succeeds.
- Preserve the selected ACPX harness before normalizing config fields,
so new Grok agents use the Grok default model.
- Keep the credential-free Cloud provider pack root-owned and readable
after runtime UID remapping; verify manifest and referenced asset access
under an unrelated unprivileged UID during image builds.
- Archive prior failover backups alongside explicitly replaced harness
state, preserving evidence while preventing stale backups from blocking
a fresh replacement.
- Update Daytona image content inputs and contract tests for the
built-in assets and explicit provisioner.
- Document and regression-test the shared `approve-all` default for Grok
setup, saved configuration, and native execution. Explicitly saved
restrictions remain unchanged.

## Verification

Current merge-repair head `df09eb3e1a619430ad8419a0ee9aedd486689b05`
incorporates master `f1a394bd30cb56fb9e479f98b9f50176fe921858` after the
base PR was squash-merged. All 12 conflicts came from incoming files
identical to the tested pre-squash base. The final tree exactly matches
a three-way merge using that original base, preserving built-in Grok
distribution and removal of the obsolete private package. All 252
focused runner/UI tests, six npm-isolation tests, and token gates pass.
Fresh exact-head Greptile review is 5/5 with no outstanding findings;
security scans and EC2 native compilation pass. All current-head CI is
green: 56 successful checks/statuses and four intentional skips ([run
36468768035](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36468768035)).
The repository owner explicitly authorized bypassing code-owner approval
after all checks passed; no CI checks or repository protection settings
are bypassed or changed. The only remaining PR was removed from the
completed stack metadata to permit native auto-merge.

Earlier integration head `78cb306ecc41b5c96577c26c1d89153b0ef865a1`
includes master `3447609d2247e75e55d91493dda91a608364f672` (2026-09-28).
Two master advances during verification overlapped the eval catalog; the
final merge preserves Grok qualification, completion updates, and
bounded API-response reading in all 348 cells. All 77 focused
catalog/eval/workflow tests pass. Both native stack layers (#14397) are
mergeable, and both exact-head Greptile reviews are 5/5 with successful
security scans and no unresolved review threads. All current-head CI is
green: 56 successful checks/statuses and four intentional skips ([CI
attempts](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36447124691)).
The initial attempt lost two EC2 runners to shutdown signals and stalled
a third shard during dependency preparation; all three passed the
same-commit failed-job-only retry. Trunk code-owner requirements remain
enforced. The review summary’s non-blocking saved-asset offset
classification note concerns code already merged in #14301; those
runtime files are identical to master and outside this stack’s diff.
Historical live evidence below retains its original source revisions.
[Final public npm
verification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36445542764)
passed on `76ea70cd4d13786a042af9df82f0fd7a8c85ae30`: 17 public
packages, an executed offline lifecycle sentinel, unchanged consumer
lock, built-in launcher, missing-prerequisite rejection, and verified
separately provisioned binary/command lease. Provisioning and cleanup
require no host privilege elevation; only the positive probe mounts the
temporary native binary read-only. The verifier is unchanged by the
final master merge. All six isolation tests and an offline npm smoke
test pass. The prior head had 56 green CI checks and a 5/5 review after
two unchanged tests timed out and passed a failed-job-only retry ([CI
attempts](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36444597313)).
All 56 recovery-display/lineage tests pass; re-review cleared the
already-covered missed-retry concern. Earlier EC2 failures remain
retained: [npm lockfile
rejection](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36436311203),
[missing compiler in the slim
image](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36440210984),
and the aggregate 15-minute test timeouts in those broad runs. Both
broad attempts passed typecheck, token gates, Product E2E type/unit
checks and build. The focused EC2 lane preserves the existing
trusted-actor and immutable-source gates.


Earlier documentation/test checkpoint
`ff244c4fd78a7ede5a3e00efe09f475f133ef33e` leaves runtime behavior
unchanged. 154 focused tests pass across configuration building, native
provider resolution, permission policy, credentials, UI configuration,
and new-agent setup (including both Grok auth modes); token gates pass.
All fresh CI is green for this head: 56 successful checks/statuses and
two intentional skips ([run
36367065119](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36367065119)).
Greptile is 5/5 with no new findings. Grok already inherits the shared
`approve-all` default, so unattended setup requires no manual permission
change.

Runtime head `bb5a9307991f1ac567b781970ef11b39d518e19b` fixes a final
staging continuation failure before provider startup: explicit
replacement archived the old harness but left its failover backups
active, which caused `runner_harness_state_mismatch`. The regression
fails before the fix and passes after it; all eight adjacent
recovery-safety cases also pass. Old backups remain inspectable inside
the continuity archive. All fresh CI is green at this head ([run
36360839248](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36360839248)),
with a 5/5 review. One unrelated Cursor test timed out in the initial
server shard; the same-commit failed-job rerun passed, and both attempts
are retained. Staging deployment is confirmed healthy on this revision.
The controller image is
`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip@sha256:6ad91c487910ccd2596ff7aed0a3a3ea5233d12b51b83cd6e1402237749b9673`.
The final browser-created staging task passed on this exact revision
with API authentication: context read → structured human question →
controller restart → answer submission → same native provider session
resumed → document saved → task Done. The two turns took approximately
119s and 77s. The actual write receipt was applied, and the saved
document has exactly one revision containing the selected answer and
requested marker. Usage and cost were not reported. [Controller image
build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36360889243).

- Previous integration head `a44f7dbb6b6f77cd9ed893756ca453307f281e5f`:
all CI green (53 successful checks/statuses, two intentional skips),
including repository typecheck/build/tests, native Runner tests, browser
shards, and canary installation checks. [CI run
36358672529](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36358672529).
Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved findings.
- Focused checks cover Grok credentials, executable admission, launcher
assets, provider-pack paths/permissions, workflow contracts, setup
defaults, CLI authorization, and subscription conflict recovery. All 39
protocol definitions validate. Final integration checks pass 124
catalog/evidence/cache tests and nine project-form tests; token gates
pass. Some local dependency checks could not load the stale installed
dependency tree; the corresponding fresh EC2 checks pass.
- Clean public npm installation passed on EC2 at
`8b172ebcf8e02e30662d830c00f3961e3bd459ec` ([run
36164964900](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36164964900)):
17 unified-version packages, lifecycle scripts enabled, built-in
launcher present, no separate Grok package or npm-downloaded binary,
missing prerequisite rejected, separately provisioned native executable
and command lease verified. No credentials or inference were used.
Subsequent changes preserve this npm asset layout.
- The immutable Daytona prerequisite image is
`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:98957d5be0ac774d086b6402b5849e8e6356fec70fb8c09fca6eb4ed6de918e0`,
built from `5a2db471f3ddabe77f9f80e76ed27f996cb97fba`. The previous
Cloud controller image was
`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip@sha256:fd914e1ab1e45f741e8e078ff452d16f082d7ac05f9b4b3506d3a3c64150d204`,
built from `a44f7dbb6b6f77cd9ed893756ca453307f281e5f`; it is superseded
by the latest image above. Its EC2 build verified provider-pack access
under an unrelated unprivileged UID.
- Browser staging at `40f898bc4cba73c1dff4e6344a3983ba0fb247ef` passed
full Grok onboarding with the correct `grok-4.7` model, saved credential
delivery, and pinned Daytona execution. A browser-created task read
context and asked the structured human question. After a controller
restart, answering the persisted question resumed the same native
provider session, saved the requested document, and completed the task.
Actual tool outcomes and durable state agree: one question and one
document revision. The two successful turns took 42.7s and 63.1s; usage
and cost were not reported.
- Restricted policy returned the expected `approval_required` outcome.
Functional staging tests explicitly selected `approve-all`; controller
authorization and governed approvals remain enforced. Temporary board
CLI access was revoked and verified rejected (HTTP 401), and the
disposable onboarding agent was paused.

Failures remain retained: the pre-fix continuation failure (its task
remains blocked; the passing final task is fresh), the original Cloud
provider-pack permission failure, the expected restricted-policy denial,
the superseded npm staging failure, and an earlier monolithic CI
infrastructure timeout. Browser CI exposed a project alias/form race;
the final stack uses master's stronger draft-preservation fix and all
browser shards pass. Historical full subscription/API protocol and
Product rosters retain their original source revisions and do not
qualify this packaging revision. No local Docker or Rust build was used.

## Risks

The branch includes master’s draft-preservation fix for project URL
aliases. It keeps the same project’s edit form mounted and clears prior
data when the project or company changes.

Custom sandboxes and local execution hosts must provision the pinned
binary before Grok starts. Missing, changed, unsupported-platform, and
symlinked executables fail admission. The new builtin profile cannot
resume sessions created with the former private-package profile.
Existing Claude/Codex npm bridge profiles retain their package pins.
Grok restricted modes preserve the selected policy but cannot
automatically admit Paperclip calls: ACP permission metadata does not
independently bind tool authority, so those calls stop with
`approval_required`. New Grok configurations default to `approve-all`,
including API configurations that omit the mode. Existing explicitly
restricted configurations remain restricted; controller authorization
and governed approvals remain enforced.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip b648d8cdda fix(evals): support explicit Grok qualification workflows (#13878)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their provider connections.
> - Product E2E checks real tasks through the browser, server, and
runner.
> - Grok qualification needs separate API-key and subscription evidence.
> - Product subscription tests and direct Grok protocol evals need
explicit credential delivery.
> - This change supplies each credential only to its selected profile
and prepares the pinned binary.
> - Maintainer authorization and protected-environment gates remain
required.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13845, #13847, #13850, #13882.

The Grok feature branch has a manual subscription qualification profile.
The trusted master workflow must admit its selected credential and
prepare the same verified binary and artifact verifier as the API
profile. Direct protocol evals also need the selected xAI key and pinned
Grok binary. These prerequisites do not register or schedule the new
profiles on master.

## What Changed

- Deliver `GROK_AUTH_JSON` from the protected paid environment only when
the selected profile requests that credential.
- Install the checksum-verified Grok binary for the local subscription
profile.
- Prepare the pinned artifact verifier for the manual subscription
suite.
- Extend workflow security assertions to cover the new credential and
profile.
- Add the ACPX Grok credential mapping to the trusted-master catalog,
then deliver only the selected `XAI_API_KEY` to direct protocol cells
and install the target’s checksum-verified Grok binary before packaging.
- Allow a direct-protocol concurrency override from two cases up to the
existing configured ceiling; it can only lower concurrency.
- Document the Grok protocol workflow and its API-only credential
boundary.
- Render missing LLM usage and cost as Unavailable, and label partial
observations with coverage. Preserve raw records, grades, and actual
zero costs.
- Preserve measured campaign source metadata during report regeneration
instead of inheriting the renderer checkout or CI event; skip empty
legacy source records when recovering older provenance.

## Verification

- Latest commit `05d05801477104c8155977bbbe3e119a5241f960`: all 54
reported checks successful, two intentional skips, Greptile 5/5, and
zero unresolved review threads. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35890978288).

- After merging current master, all 17 workflow security/image tests and
23 catalog/workflow policy tests passed. The trusted catalog also
generated all 39 pinned Grok cells with `XAI_API_KEY` and one case per
shard. The new policy tests execute the concurrency guard against valid,
out-of-range, and malformed values.
- The Grok branch separately passed 450 Product harness unit tests,
including private company credential staging, cleanup, and
token-fragment redaction.
- The fresh-login native subscription smoke passed three repetitions of
tool execution, session resume, restrictive permissions, and cleanup.
These are setup evidence; full subscription Product qualification
remains pending.
- All 72 focused report/billing/history/catalog tests and the Product
harness typecheck passed for the report-display change. The initial
sandbox run could not open the tsx IPC socket; the permitted rerun
passed. A zero-provider-call replay of the actual 16-cell Grok campaign
preserved all result records, grades, timing, and source provenance
while correcting missing usage labels.
- Review the thirteen-file diff. Provider credentials still enter only
the selected paid-test step; default-branch, numeric-actor, and
environment restrictions are unchanged.

## Risks

This admits a refreshable subscription credential to explicitly selected
trusted tests. Store it only in `runner-e2e-paid`, use a test login, and
remove it after qualification. Unselected profiles receive an empty
value. Pull requests cannot trigger the paid workflow. This PR changes
no fleet admission or actor allowlist.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 60c7c9cd1a fix(runner-e2e): pass verified lock digest to Daytona image build (#13876)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Product E2E campaigns test the native runner in local and Daytona
environments.
> - Each campaign resolves one target lockfile and verifies its
downloaded artifact.
> - The Daytona image job did not pass that artifact digest to Docker.
> - Docker used an older default digest and stopped before any selected
task ran.
> - This pull request passes and validates the campaign digest at the
image build boundary.
> - The image keeps its checksum check and frozen package installation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The merged-master [qualification
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35863582409)
stopped in the Daytona image build. The resolved target lock digest was
`e0c928a494f90ddad3c00791e83f09315ee8c82df2a0418a809dcf93649a8ab3`.
Docker used its default digest,
`57b298aceebc48bb94ea0593347348256475da7b2fddb77025d9e57cc8759420`. The
checksum check rejected the mismatch. All 12 selected model cells were
skipped. This follows the image provenance work in #13814.

**Expected behavior**

The image build must check the same lockfile artifact that the campaign
restored and verified. A changed lockfile must still fail the checksum
check.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a Product E2E campaign with a Daytona cell on master
`7944ed3d976d1a7cc26a2d0cee51f227f3542084`.
2. Resolve a target lockfile whose digest differs from the Dockerfile
default.
3. Observe the provider-pack image stage reject the lockfile before
model execution.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`7944ed3d976d1a7cc26a2d0cee51f227f3542084`.

**Deployment mode**

GitHub Actions Product E2E campaign with a Daytona image build.

**Install method**

Built from source with the campaign lockfile artifact.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

Native Codex and ACPX Claude cells were selected. No model cell ran in
this failed campaign.

**Database mode**

Not involved. The failure occurs during image creation.

**Access context**

The authorized default-branch paid workflow. The build receives no
provider credentials.

## What Changed

- Read the image checksum from the existing target-lock job output.
- Require a 64-character lowercase hexadecimal digest before image
inspection or build.
- Pass the digest as the existing Docker build argument.
- Add regression checks and document the campaign checksum handoff.

## Verification

- The Daytona image regression fails with the original workflow and
passes with the fix.
- All six Daytona image contract tests pass.
- All 450 Product E2E unit tests pass.
- Product E2E typecheck passes.
- Actionlint passes for the changed workflow.
- A context-shaped resolution probe preserves the downloaded lockfile
bytes and digest.
- All latest-head CI checks passed on
`67d41fd9439b2a9a809ddb05765f8617585072c5`
([run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35865739359)).
- Greptile gave 5/5 on this head; its test-scoping comment is addressed
and resolved.
- A hosted Daytona image rebuild and the three remote qualification
cells remain pending after merge.

## Risks

The campaign digest comes from the existing trusted target-lock job. The
restored artifact checks, Docker checksum check, frozen install, content
identity, image signing, and verification remain in place. The
standalone Docker default remains available. This change does not alter
task behavior, prompts, credentials, or dependency versions.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6-astra` through Codex performed diagnosis and review with
code execution tools. OpenAI `gpt-5.6-luna` assisted with investigation,
implementation, and verification. Context window limits are not exposed
in this session.

DottaandPaperclip ac854a9b59 ci: build Daytona eval images on the authorized fleet (#13847)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Product E2E campaigns test the browser, server, and runner together.
> - The trusted workflow selects an authorized execution fleet.
> - Daytona image builds still use a fixed GitHub-hosted runner.
> - This pull request applies the existing fleet selection to image
builds.
> - Campaign builds and tests then use the configured EC2 fleet.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13845

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The location of Daytona Product E2E image builds.

**Current behavior**

The image job uses ubuntu-latest even when RUNNER_E2E_AWS_ENABLED
selects EC2 for the rest of the campaign.

**Proposed behavior**

Use the existing authorized runner output for the image job. Preserve
the GitHub-hosted fallback when the EC2 switch is off.

## What Changed

- Route Daytona image builds through the existing authorized runner
selection.
- Assert that the image job depends on authorization and receives no
provider credentials.
- Document the build routing and credential boundary.

## Verification

- Product E2E workflow security: 11 tests passed.
- git diff --check passed.
- Reviewed actor checks, workflow triggers, target commit selection,
signing, and package permissions. They are unchanged.
- Required CI checks pass on the latest head. The first CI attempt had
failures in unchanged chat tests; one diagnostic rerun passed. Both
attempts remain in Actions.
- Greptile reviewed the latest head at 5/5 with no inline findings.
- Live EC2 image verification follows after this trusted workflow change
is merged. No local Docker execution.

## Risks

EC2 image builds depend on the fleet having working Docker and
sufficient disk space. Existing authorization, image digest checks,
signing, and the GitHub-hosted fallback remain in place. No provider
secrets are added to the image job. No application or database changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, code editing, and tool
execution. The exact deployment model ID and context-window size are not
exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 950ccb8eef ci: enable Grok qualification in the trusted paid workflow (#13845)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Product E2E tests verify tasks through the browser, server, and
runner.
> - These paid tests use a trusted workflow from master and an isolated
target commit.
> - The Grok target branch selects XAI_API_KEY, but the trusted workflow
does not deliver that credential.
> - Its artifact test also needs the pinned Python verifier before
execution.
> - This pull request adds both bindings inside the existing paid
boundary.
> - The tests can then run on the configured EC2 fleet without laptop
Docker.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related evaluation infrastructure:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/11297. No duplicate Grok
paid-workflow change was found.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Branch-targeted Grok Product E2E qualification in the existing paid
workflow.

**Current behavior**

Grok cells cannot receive their selected API credential. The Grok
build-revise case also misses the artifact-verifier setup step.

**Proposed behavior**

Deliver XAI_API_KEY only when the selected matrix credential is
XAI_API_KEY. Prepare the existing pinned verifier for the Grok
qualification suite.

**Reason and benefit**

Run the controller, browser, runner and artifact checks on the EC2
fleet. Preserve default-branch workflow authorization and protected
environment secret access.

## What Changed

- Bind the selected XAI credential only in the paid test step.
- Install the checksum-verified Grok binary for local cells before
provider access.
- Include Grok qualification in the existing pinned artifact-verifier
preparation.
- Add an optional max_parallel input that can only lower the configured
campaign concurrency. Use 1 for the Grok test key.
- Extend security assertions and document setup.

## Verification

- Ran the Product E2E workflow-security tests: 11 passed.
- Checked the diff for whitespace errors.
- Reviewed credential selection, setup ordering, numeric actor gates,
target commit pinning, and trusted report checkout.
- Live Grok execution follows after this workflow is available on
master. This PR does not claim completed Grok qualification.

## Risks

The paid test step can use the selected XAI credential and incur
provider charges. The credential remains in runner-e2e-paid and is
absent from setup, build, and reporting jobs. The default-branch gate
and existing environment restrictions remain in place. No database
migration or product behavior changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, code editing, and tool
execution. The exact deployment model ID and context-window size are not
exposed in this session.

3790ca2f13 fix(runner): repair approval and Stop races and eval infrastructure (#13750)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Runner tasks must continue after approval and stop when the user
presses Stop.
> - Live evals found races at approval delivery and provider startup.
> - Browser readiness and CI setup errors also hid the actual task
results.
> - This pull request fixes those races and the related test
infrastructure.
> - Regression tests and saved live reports show which cases now pass.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Companion eval definitions PR:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/pull/25 (AgentCore paused
and provider/environment infrastructure).

Related: #13741 now supplies the late-startup Stop fence and
warm-attachment recovery; this PR retains that fence and extends startup
tracking and regression coverage to both native backend paths. #13539
introduced queued approvals during active runs. #13738 fixes child
assignment, task replies, and warm process continuity and is already in
the base. #13291 concerns automatic continuation of interrupted legacy
sandbox runs; this PR fixes native startup cancellation and does not
change that recovery policy.

**What happened?**
An accepted service approval could wait after its source run stopped.
Stop could return success before the provider handle existed. Work could
then start after Stop, or a cancelled run could be recorded as failed.
Some E2E tests also failed on unloaded browser content or irrelevant
reply wording. Runner CI could fail before model work because of
dependency or sandbox setup.

**Expected behavior**
Deliver each settled approval once after its source run stops. Do not
start work after an acknowledged Stop. Preserve the audited
cancellation. Test the intended product behavior with a ready browser
and verified runtime dependencies.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Approve a service request while its source run is active. Let the run
finish. Check that its result starts one continuation.
2. Delay provider startup. Press Stop before its handle is available.
Check cancellation, then submit `/new`.
3. Run the browser, warm-workspace, and Stop-and-redirect cases from the
linked report.

**Paperclip version or commit**
The branch includes master at `9d19f98b5`. The report records the
original source for each focused attempt.

**Deployment mode**
Isolated local development instances and disposable Daytona sandboxes.

## What Changed

- Deliver settled tool-action results for the exact company and source
run during final cleanup. Keep the existing idempotent receipt and
periodic recovery sweep.
- Wait for startup to hand off its provider handle before acknowledging
Stop. Reject first-turn admission after cancellation. Preserve a
matching audited pending or acknowledged cancellation.
- Wait for mounted task history and connector controls in browser tests.
Record failure evidence. Grade workspace contents and process continuity
separately from exact reply wording. Require each warm-turn marker once
and in order, allowing surrounding prose.
- Stop-and-redirect now checks that the source file exists and work is
active before Stop.
- Resolve target dependency locks in an uncredentialed CI job. Verify
the lock artifact hash. Keep orchestration and publication on the
trusted workflow revision.
- Materialize the pinned OpenCode executable and configure the exact
Codex executable's user-namespace profile before provider credentials
are available.
- Compress Daytona directory uploads with gzip. Preserve files,
executable modes, symlinks, empty directories, and confinement checks.
- Classify file-transfer RPC deadlines as infrastructure. Keep unrelated
runner RPC failures visible.

## Verification

- [Focused live report with screenshots and original
attempts](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-reliability-20260921/): 14
of 15 selected Product E2E cases pass across the recorded revisions.
Claude and Codex Stop → `/new`, Claude service approval, delegation,
both hiring/reuse cases, and native Daytona warm continuity pass.
- Two credentialed Runner smoke cases pass. These are not full protocol
coverage.
- E2E harness after the master merge: 429 tests pass. E2E and server
TypeScript checks pass.
- Daytona plugin: 239 tests pass, 6 skipped. Plugin TypeScript build
passes. The compression test fails against the old code and passes with
the change.
- Runner backend/runtime regression group: 161 tests pass.
Cancellation/startup selection: 26 tests pass. Approval delivery: 34
real-database tests pass.
- Workflow security: 7 tests pass. Both edited workflows pass
actionlint. Runner TypeScript and Rust builds pass.
- After merging master, all 389 native executor tests pass, including
both native backend paths and late startup after the Stop deadline.
- Post-merge `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass. The monolithic
local `pnpm test:run` was interrupted to integrate master and is
inconclusive. The [hosted CI test
partitions](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35620461738)
pass on `50a3e43822bcba1e0d07b1b45b0be91cbf9312da`. An unchanged sandbox
callback schema test initially received HTTP 503. It passed five
isolated local runs, its full local test file, and one failed-job CI
retry. No assertion was weakened.

## Risks

- Stop can wait for the bounded startup handoff. If it cannot settle,
the existing pending-recovery state remains instead of a false
acknowledgement.
- Immediate approval delivery must remain idempotent across cleanup and
recovery sweeps. Tests cover duplicate delivery and company/run
boundaries.
- The workflow changes still need hosted Linux verification. They retain
the trusted workflow and credential boundaries.
- Gzip reduces the observed provider upload from about 1.8 GB to 663 MB.
It does not yet fix the remaining Claude Daytona transfer timeout. That
recovery test never reached Claude, so recovery remains unverified. Use
a matching image with the verified provider package preinstalled for the
next recovery test; retain cold-upload coverage separately.
- The report preserves diagnostic runs with missing source metadata and
marks them as such. It does not claim a new full-suite pass.
- This PR adds no new prompt policy or historical status reconciliation.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex performed the primary implementation and
review. The exact primary backend model ID is not exposed in this
session. OpenAI `gpt-5.6-luna` assisted with bounded infrastructure work
and verification. The agents used repository tools, code execution, and
browser tests. The exact backend revision and context-window size are
not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 4cfc0e3f6c fix(runner-e2e): provision complete worker prerequisites (#13674)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work performed by AI agents.
> - Runner E2E tests verify that work in local and remote environments.
> - The full catalog exposed setup failures before agents could execute
tasks.
> - ACPX Codex missed sandbox provisioning, and new artifact cases
missed Docker preparation.
> - A host Claude version probe also stopped native Claude stories that
use a packaged provider.
> - This pull request repairs trusted worker setup and keeps its
selectors covered by catalog tests.
> - The resulting reruns can measure behavior instead of missing
prerequisites.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Follow-up to #13655. Full-catalog campaign:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35417932353.

**What happened?**

ACPX Codex could not start its sandbox. New artifact stories missed
Docker preparation. Native Claude stories tried to spawn an unrelated
host CLI. The report job failed on trusted lockfile drift.

**What did you expect to happen?**

Prepare each worker's required capabilities before paid execution and
publish the retained results from trusted code.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run local ACPX Codex, everyday agent-review-handoff, or native Claude
everyday cells in the full-stack workflow at 43acbcc39.

## What Changed

- Include local ACPX Codex in exact-binary sandbox provisioning and
preflight.
- Prepare the pinned artifact oracle for agent-review-handoff. Do not
require it for skill creation.
- Remove host CLI version probes from native everyday stories.
- Retry GitHub actor lookup up to three times, with a deadline, while
retaining all authorization checks.
- Resolve reporter dependencies from the trusted checkout before its
frozen install.
- Test worker selections against the catalog and document the
default-branch requirement.

## Verification

- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit`: 383 tests pass.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck`: passes.
- PR checks: 54 passed, two intentionally skipped. Greptile: 5/5, no
inline findings.
- The paid workflow reads trusted setup from master. These setup changes
need to land before the affected Linux cells can verify them. Runtime
fixes and other affected reruns are on a separate branch.

## Risks

The setup selectors decide which workers receive sandbox policy and
Docker preparation. Catalog coverage checks their scope. Actor lookup
still fails closed. Reporter dependency resolution uses only the trusted
checkout; target branch code does not receive publication credentials.
No production prompt changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 via Codex, with repository inspection, code editing, and
test execution. The exact API model ID and context-window size are not
exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 43acbcc398 fix(runner): preserve sessions and complete question and approval continuations (#13655)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner connects task state to provider sessions.
> - Follow-up turns must retain provider memory and carry new user
direction.
> - Lost session IDs caused repeated context and extra input tokens.
> - Native question answers and approval races could leave valid work
blocked.
> - This pull request repairs those paths and adds regression coverage.
> - Agents can continue accepted work without repeating the conversation
or losing the user's answer.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13574. That merged PR shortened continuation prompts and moved
question instructions into tool documentation. This change preserves
sessions and fixes failures exposed by broader testing. Related runtime
work: #13408 and #13410.

**What happened?**

Native follow-up turns could lose the provider session ID. Completion
guidance could replace the original task with its latest comment. Claude
native questions could remain pending after the user answered. Approval
during a running tool call could suspend the run before the tool
response arrived. Onboarding and chat handoff instructions also caused
repeated planning or missing plan documents.

**Expected behavior**

Reuse a valid provider session. Send only new events when that session
already has the history. Preserve the task requirements and apply later
user direction. Store the question answer and deliver it to the waiting
run. Finish governed tool responses before suspending. Execute the
accepted plan without asking for the same approval again.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the continuation, local-session-integrity, first-task, and
agent-chat suites with native Codex and Claude. Include
provider-question-bridge, accept-while-running, and plan-handoff.

**Paperclip version or commit**

This branch is based on master d54b75011. The active full catalog run
tests 4e75881db. Later review fixes have separate regression coverage.

**Deployment mode**

Isolated local instances and Daytona sandboxes in the existing Runner
full-stack E2E harness.

## What Changed

- Retain provider session identity across turns and late usage
snapshots. Send new continuation events on session reuse, with full
context available for a fresh session.
- Preserve task requirements and later direction in completion guidance.
Return the current contract revision after a stale completion
submission.
- Bridge native Claude questions to saved Paperclip cards. Submit
answers through the saved card and resume the same run.
- Delay governed suspension until tool results settle. Add a
deterministic test barrier for approval during an active run.
- Clarify free-text question examples, explicit onboarding plans, and
execution of accepted chat plans.
- Fix continuation readiness, verified output evidence, and declared
screenshot collection.
- Qualify the legacy Claude test CLI at 2.1.277. The old 2.1.19 CLI did
not discover mounted skills. Update the existing workflow pin and
isolated launcher together.
- Refresh the Daytona image lockfile integrity pin after reviewing
master patch updates.
- Carry continuation mode as runtime metadata instead of inferring it
from user-visible text. Install the test Claude CLI without lifecycle
scripts.

## Verification

- Targeted paid verification: 20/20 cases passed across
local-environment campaigns before the rebase.
[Report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-seven-fixes-35397904249/).
- Harness checks: 379 unit tests passed; harness typecheck passed.
- Latest-head PR checks: 55 passed, two intentionally skipped. Greptile
is 5/5; the security scan passes.
- Review regressions: 350 executor tests and 204 session/driver tests
passed. A script-free Claude install was verified with the actual CLI.
- Full catalog, including the explicit-only everyday suite: [run
35417932353](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35417932353).
Completed: **164/205 passed; 41 failed**. [Full dashboard and failure
investigation](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-full-catalog-35417932353/).
Includes 204 case artifacts and one pre-case GitHub authorization
timeout; missing evidence is not scored as a pass. The full run tested
`4e75881db`; Final-head metadata/CLI smoke cases both passed. In the
separate [six infrastructure
retries](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35419769343),
the GitHub timeout case passed and all five Docker preflight failures
repeated. [Follow-up
dashboard](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-full-catalog-35417932353/follow-up/).
- Full local typecheck and build passed on the rebased branch. The full
local unit run completed with 657 passing files, two test timeouts and
one suite setup timeout. All three affected files passed when rerun in
isolation (84 tests). The first full local run was not clean.
- Focused regression coverage includes the live question bridge,
same-run response delivery, UI routing, stale revisions, approval
overlap, and session reuse.

## Full-catalog follow-ups

- Test infrastructure: 14 Claude everyday cells probe an absent host
CLI; six cells failed pre-task GitHub/Docker qualification (GitHub
passes on retry; all five Docker cases repeat; the workflow preflight
allowlist omits their case IDs); five ACPX Codex cells cannot create
sandbox namespaces.
- Runtime: four OpenCode completion-criteria mismatches masked by
shutdown errors, one service-approval suspension failure; three Daytona
recovery failures encounter existing skill files; one duplicate
completion wake.
- Confirmed test defects: question pagination and a noncanonical plan
document key.
- Product/behavior: mismatched visible/required question sets, an
attachment instead of the requested task document, one lone-option
onboarding question, early completion instead of review, and a Codex
Mini completion-schema failure.
- The report job itself fails on trusted master’s stale patch/lock
configuration. The linked report is rebuilt with the shared renderer
from original cell results and public fixture screenshots; it excludes
private snapshots, logs and traces.

These are investigated follow-ups, not silently regraded passes.
First-task passed 51/52. The PR checks are green independently of the
broader catalog’s behavioral/infrastructure failures.

## Risks

- Session reuse depends on a valid provider identity and context
coverage. Fresh-session fallback and reset tests cover this boundary.
- Native question delivery spans saved interaction state and a live
provider run. Tests cover duplicate events, closed runs, and same-run
answers.
- Provider behavior varies. The full paid catalog may expose failures
beyond these targeted fixes; those results will be reported without
relaxing valid approval or output checks.
- The legacy Claude version update is limited to test infrastructure. No
database migration is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository inspection, code execution,
and browser/E2E tools. The exact runtime model identifier and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

4577d10029 fix: prepare everyday artifact and Codex sandbox prerequisites in CI (#13516)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The runner E2E workflow executes paid everyday workflow stories on
disposable CI hosts
> - The everyday artifact oracle requires a pinned Python image and
fails closed when it is absent
> - Fresh CI hosts did not prepare this image before the paid cell, so
project stories failed during preflight
> - This pull request prepares and verifies the pinned image before the
affected everyday cells
> - The benefit is reliable artifact isolation checks on fresh trusted
CI hosts

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Fresh trusted CI runners did not have the pinned Python artifact oracle
image.

**Expected behavior:**

The workflow prepares and verifies the pinned image before an everyday
project story starts.

**Steps to reproduce:**

Run an everyday project story on a fresh CI host without the image
cached. The `everyday-artifact.py --preflight` check fails before task
creation.

**Paperclip version or commit:**

`master` at `bd51f157e`.

**Deployment mode:**

Other: GitHub Actions trusted paid workflow.

## What Changed

- Add a matrix-gated CI step for everyday project and recovery cells.
- Check Docker, pull the fixed digest with bounded timeouts, and verify
the exact repo digest.
- Apply the existing Codex sandbox preparation to both native Codex
profiles, including the mini profile.
- Add workflow security assertions for ordering, condition, digest,
timeouts, and secret isolation.
- Document that CI prepares the pinned oracle image.
- Check provisioning eligibility against every catalog cell, and scope
the Daytona registry inspection assertion to the Daytona image job.

## Verification

- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit` — 24 files and 222 tests passed.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/runner-e2e/vitest.config.ts
workflow-security.test.ts` — 10 tests passed.
- Python artifact oracle calibration — 12/12 passed.
- `git diff --check` — passed.

## Risks

Low risk. The image step runs only for everyday cells that execute the
artifact preflight. The Codex setup now covers both native Codex
profiles. It uses a fixed public image digest and has no provider
credentials.

## Model Used

OpenAI gpt-5.6-luna (implementation subagent) and gpt-6-astra (review
fixes and orchestration), using code execution and repository tools.
Context window size is not exposed by this session.

DottaandPaperclip ab15aff390 feat: add experimental persistent agent chat (#13284)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Conversations must use the same tasks, controls, and execution
history.
> - Users need an ongoing chat with an agent without managing task
properties.
> - Agents should clarify and plan work, then hand execution to assigned
project tasks.
> - This pull request combines the reviewed Agent Chat stack for one
squash merge.
> - The benefit is persistent conversation with normal task governance
and shared UI.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Task lifecycle, agent runtime tools, shared task UI, and browser/paid
runner tests.

**Problem or motivation**

Users need one persistent conversation with each agent. A separate chat
store or renderer would duplicate task behavior and bypass existing
controls.

**Proposed solution**

Use a task-backed chat per company, user, and agent. Reuse the task
composer and transcript. Clarify and plan in chat, then create assigned
project tasks with the relevant plan. Keep Agent Chat behind its own
disabled-by-default experimental setting.

**Roadmap alignment**

This implements the task-backed direction in [CEO
Chat](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/master/ROADMAP.md#-ceo-chat).
Related proposals: #2504 and #9693. Related request: #7981. The
maintainer requested one squash merge of the complete stack.

Consolidates the reviewed runtime
[#13281](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13281), backend
[#13282](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13282), and UI
[#13283](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13283) layers
with this PR's E2E coverage. All four layers passed CI and received
Greptile 5/5 before consolidation. This PR targets master and includes
the complete feature.

## What Changed

- Add personal canonical chat tasks with ordinary company visibility,
immutable identity, idempotent first sends, and an idle waiting state.
- Process `/new` in queue order. Preserve history, release a chat pause,
and fence old provider context and delayed writes.
- Keep chat lifecycle rules across recovery, finalization, assignment,
task lists, and rollups.
- Support research and plan revision in chat. Hand plans to ordinary
assigned project tasks before execution starts. Reject new chat
subtasks.
- Add repository-aware project creation and discovery tools, including
multiple repository IDs and GitHub URLs, authorization, idempotency, and
durable project-created cards.
- Reuse task UI components for chat, with starred/recent agent
navigation and a separate `enableAgentChat` experimental flag.
- Add deterministic browser tests and 24 paid chat cells across four
Codex/Claude profiles, with validated reports and screenshots.
- Integrate current master recovery, controller lease, queued-message,
and task UI changes. Gate chat interruption and deferred promotion on
ownership/feature policy. Guarantee lease renewal and active controls
are stopped even if teardown fails.
- Preserve master's migration 0273 and generate chat migration 0274 with
idempotent replay for development databases.

## Verification

- Prior exact heads of all four PRs passed Linux CI, including build,
typecheck, general/serialized tests, and browser E2E. Each had Greptile
5/5 and no unresolved findings.
- Integrated local verification passed: full repository typecheck and
production build, Storybook build, token gates, 340 focused UI tests,
all 20 deterministic chat browser tests, two migration replay tests, 88
focused chat/queue/native/controller tests, and provider/session
regressions including real lease expiry. These include the three
lifecycle regressions for the final admission/teardown fixes; server
typecheck also passes. Current head
`1268eda16cc2af892055917e7292f068820be135` has Greptile 5/5 with no
unresolved findings and passing security scans. All final-head CI gates
passed: build, full Runner verification, typecheck/release registry,
canary, all general/serialized test shards, and all browser E2E shards
([CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34696739927)).
Local PostgreSQL startup contention required serialized retries; skipped
fixtures do not count as passing coverage.
- The earlier paid campaign passed all 24 chat cells and retained 32
screenshots:
[report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-34648511170-1/index.html?report=agent-chat#suite-agent-chat).
It tested `abacbdfd2f660709ec37312cdb758284c8399d04`; it is prior
evidence, not a paid run of this integrated head.
- Manual check: enable Agent Chat in Experimental settings, open an
agent, clarify and revise a plan, then hand off to an assigned project
task. Stop a reply, send `/new`, and verify fresh context with retained
history. Disable the setting and verify agent shortcuts/new chat turns
are blocked.

## Risks

- Queue/session integration can affect retries and delayed writes. Tests
cover ownership, cancellation, reset boundaries, idle recovery, and
ordinary task behavior.
- Migration 0274 adds conversation fields and constraints. Replay is
idempotent and preserves existing development chat history.
- This combines the previously reviewed stack at the maintainer's
request. Agent Chat remains off by default and is separate from
Conference Room.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 Astra (`gpt-6-astra`), with reasoning, code
execution, browser tools, and parallel review. The exact context-window
size is not exposed in this session. Codex and Claude also ran as test
subjects in the linked paid campaign.

Dotta 9ecd93a54d test(e2e): link runner campaign summaries (#12927)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip uses a paid full-stack campaign to verify runner behavior
across providers and environments.
> - The campaign already creates an interactive report, workflow logs,
and retained evidence artifacts.
> - The merge job summary shows result totals but does not link to those
resources.
> - Reviewers must search several workflow jobs and artifacts to find
the executed cells.
> - This pull request adds direct and safe links to the exact campaign,
each cell, the workflow logs, and the artifacts.
> - The benefit is that a reviewer can inspect a result from the Actions
summary with one click.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

This improves the `Merge and enforce campaign result` summary in the
`Runner Full-Stack E2E` workflow.

**Subsystem affected**

The runner E2E report generator and its GitHub Actions workflow are
affected.

**Current behavior**

The summary lists each selected cell and its result. It does not link to
the published campaign report, the workflow logs, or the evidence
artifacts.

**Proposed behavior**

The summary includes a `View results` section. It links to the exact
immutable campaign report, the workflow logs, and the artifacts. Each
cell name links to its stable section in the campaign report.

**Reason and benefit**

The current summary does not show reviewers where to inspect the run.
Direct links make the result evidence discoverable without manual URL
construction or artifact searches.

**Breaking changes**

None. This change only adds links and stable HTML anchors to existing
report output.

**Additional context**

Related: #12904. The cited successful campaign is [run
34026735033](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34026735033).

## What Changed

- Add a safe URL builder for public campaign, workflow, and artifact
links.
- Add a `View results` section to the GitHub Actions campaign summary.
- Link each summary table cell to its exact section in the immutable
campaign report.
- Add stable execution anchors to the generated dashboard.
- Reject non-HTTPS, credential-bearing, malformed, and ambiguous link
destinations.
- Document the new links and their retention or publication timing.

## Verification

- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit` — 116 tests passed.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm typecheck` — passed, including migration safety.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- `pnpm exec prettier --check ...` for all changed files — passed.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed.
- The full local server suite also ran. One unrelated macOS
workspace-runtime file passed 157 tests and failed 4 existing path and
port assumptions. Two failures compare `/var` with `/private/var`. Two
failures cannot reserve a port outside a hard-coded range. This PR does
not change that file or its dependencies.

## Risks

- The immutable campaign link becomes available after the history
publisher completes. The workflow and artifact links remain available
while publication runs.
- The artifact link requires GitHub access and follows the existing
30-day retention period.
- Invalid configured URLs are omitted instead of being rendered into the
summary.

discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex desktop agent with GPT-5. The runtime does not expose the
context-window size. The agent used repository inspection, agentic
reasoning, code execution, and GitHub CLI tools.

Dotta 1dceee9a4e fix(runner): persist warm Daytona workspaces (#12901)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agent work and the execution state for each
task.
> - Remote agents run in sandbox environments such as Daytona.
> - Daytona keeps files while a sandbox is stopped, but deletion removes
those files.
> - Runner Codex did not copy successful remote workspace changes back
to the host workspace.
> - A warm sandbox could therefore hide data loss until Daytona replaced
or deleted the sandbox.
> - This pull request makes the host workspace durable after every
successful turn and keeps verified reusable sandboxes warm.
> - The benefit is reliable multi-turn work across warm reuse, restart,
stop, and sandbox replacement.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A successful native Codex turn in Daytona could leave workspace changes
only in the remote sandbox. A later warm turn appeared to work because
it reused that filesystem. A replacement sandbox could start from stale
host data and lose the successful changes.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip must merge each successful remote turn into the authoritative
host workspace before it completes the run. A verified warm lease may
reuse its remote files. A replacement lease must reconstruct the exact
durable workspace seed.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run Codex in a reusable Daytona environment.
2. Write a file during one successful turn.
3. Replace the Daytona sandbox before the next turn.
4. Observe that the next turn can start without the prior file on the
unpatched code.

Related remote workspace foundation: #10070.

## What Changed

- Added explicit `host_current`, `durable_seed`, and `adopt_remote`
workspace preparation modes.
- Added atomic, versioned native workspace descriptors and seed archives
under `PAPERCLIP_HOME`.
- Added real native sandbox export and three-way host merge before
terminal result completion.
- Added workspace-only recovery after a proposed result. Recovery does
not submit another provider turn or consume the provider retry budget.
- Added fail-closed handling when a sandbox with unexported changes is
gone.
- Kept healthy reusable Daytona sandboxes started for legacy Codex and
Runner Codex.
- Kept the Runner Codex process and provider session across verified
warm turns.
- Added the paid `daytona-warm-continuity` browser suite. It contains
exactly the legacy Codex and Runner Codex cells. Each cell performs
three measured turns.
- Documented `pnpm test:e2e:runner -- --suite daytona-warm-continuity`.
No package script was added.
- Added no database migration. The metadata format is backward
compatible and idempotent.

## Verification

- `pnpm typecheck`
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit` — 114 passed
- Native workspace, finalizer, session, and environment tests — 232
passed
- Daytona provider tests — 150 passed
- Workspace staging and merge tests — 98 passed
- Runner transport tests — 63 passed
- Legacy Codex restore tests — 5 passed
- Rust format and compile checks pass through root typecheck
- The paid Daytona suite was not run locally because the required
Daytona, OpenAI, and immutable image credentials are not present.

## Risks

- The main risk is an incorrect workspace identity or merge after a
crash. Durable descriptors bind the run, workspace, lease, provider
lease, local root, remote root, and baseline digest. Ambiguous evidence
fails closed.
- The host merge may conflict with concurrent host edits. The existing
three-way merge and exclusion rules handle this case and surface
failures.
- A deleted sandbox cannot recover unexported bytes. Paperclip now
blocks with `workspace_sync_out_unrecoverable` instead of reporting
success or rerunning the provider.
- There is no database migration. Descriptor writes and recovery are
atomic and idempotent.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with GPT-5. The run used agentic reasoning, repository
inspection, code execution, test execution, Git, and GitHub CLI tools.

DottaandPaperclip 87832c48fd feat(runner-e2e): publish declared screenshots (#12895)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip uses runner end-to-end reports to compare agent profiles
and execution environments
> - The report dashboard shows each reviewed final-state screenshot as a
thumbnail and gallery item
> - The public history publisher removed all per-attempt images before
it regenerated the dashboard
> - Therefore the public dashboard had the new layout but could not show
the screenshots from the run
> - The publisher needs a narrow rule that keeps only screenshots from
the exact live fixture issue route
> - This pull request keeps those trusted PNG files in every future
public S3 and GitHub Pages report
> - The benefit is that each future report can show its screenshot
gallery without exposing logs, traces, videos, archives, arbitrary
images, or generated report trees

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The runner E2E job captured final-state screenshots in its private
artifact. The public S3 and GitHub Pages publication step removed those
screenshots before it regenerated the dashboard. As a result, the public
report showed the new dashboard controls but no screenshot thumbnails or
gallery items.

**Expected behavior**

Each future public runner E2E report must include reviewed PNG
screenshots from the live fixture issue. Other captures and active or
unsafe evidence must stay private.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run the runner full-stack E2E workflow on `master` before this
change.
2. Open the private `runner-e2e-report-*` artifact and confirm that it
contains per-attempt PNG screenshots.
3. Open the public campaign URL and confirm that the dashboard has no
screenshot gallery items.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The issue was reproduced on commit `64d8929`, after the report design
change in PR #12889.

**Deployment mode**

GitHub Actions with the public S3 and GitHub Pages report publishers.

Related design work: Refs #12889.

## What Changed

- Mark screenshots from the exact server-created live fixture issue
route with `public-runner-fixture`.
- Keep marked PNG files in both the S3 history bundle and the GitHub
Pages bundle.
- Keep captures from other issue routes, sensitive routes, and external
origins private.
- Bind public files to the normalized execution ID, attempt, and safe
PNG base name.
- Validate every retained image with the existing PNG signature and 12
MiB size checks.
- Skip missing-artifact sentinel results with attempt `0` when they have
no public screenshots.
- Continue to remove unmarked images, videos, traces, archives,
generated HTML reports, and other private evidence.
- Update publisher tests, workflow checks, report copy, and the
public-evidence security documentation.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/runner-e2e/vitest.config.ts
tests/runner-e2e/history.test.ts tests/runner-e2e/report.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run --config tests/runner-e2e/vitest.config.ts
tests/runner-e2e/workflow-security.test.ts -t "uses environment-scoped
OIDC"`
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck`
- `PAPERCLIP_PLAYWRIGHT_CHANNEL=chrome pnpm exec playwright test
--config tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts
tests/e2e/runner-e2e-dashboard.spec.ts`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- Regenerated the dashboard from retained evidence for Actions run
`33968240659` without a paid matrix rerun. The public-stage proof
contained 121 screenshot gallery items and thumbnail frames, with zero
generated HTML report files. The trusted-fixture marker and route gate
have separate focused tests.
- All pull request CI checks pass on commit `ccd2b49e1`.

## Risks

- This change intentionally makes marked fixture screenshots public at
the campaign URL. A screenshot can show data that a raw-byte secret scan
cannot detect.
- The capture helper marks a screenshot only on the exact loopback issue
route for the fixture that the harness created. A different issue,
sensitive page, or external origin stays private.
- The publisher also requires the marker, a safe normalized path, a
valid PNG signature, and the size limit.
- The change does not publish videos, logs, traces, archives, arbitrary
images, or generated browser report trees.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, model `gpt-5.6-sol`, with high reasoning, repository
tool use, shell execution, browser inspection, and GitHub CLI access.
The working context was the Codex desktop task context.

Dotta 8430bd897f ci: reuse trusted cache for Daytona images (#12862)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The full-stack runner campaign checks local and Daytona runner
behavior.
> - A Daytona image content miss starts a cold multi-stage Docker build.
> - Stable dependency and agent CLI layers take most of the image build
time.
> - Development targets must not write shared cache state.
> - This pull request adds a registry cache with a default-branch write
gate.
> - It also puts volatile source inputs after stable install layers.
> - The benefit is a shorter Daytona image build without weaker secret
isolation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

This improves the Daytona runner image stage in the full-stack E2E
workflow.

**Subsystem affected**

The GitHub Actions runner E2E workflow and its Daytona Docker image are
affected.

**Current behavior**

Each new Daytona image content ID starts with an empty BuildKit cache. A
runner source change also invalidates dependency and agent CLI install
layers because volatile inputs occur before those layers.

**Proposed behavior**

All authorized campaigns can read one GHCR BuildKit cache. Only a
campaign whose target ref is the repository default branch can update
that cache. The Dockerfile installs dependencies and agent CLIs before
it consumes volatile runner source or revision metadata.

**Reason and benefit**

The paid runner matrix spends several minutes building the image before
any selected cell can start. Cache reuse removes repeated stable setup
work and makes focused Daytona iterations faster.

**Breaking changes**

None. The immutable content tag, digest inspection, Cosign signature,
image labels, pinned base images, and provider credential boundary stay
unchanged.

## What Changed

- Read a registry-backed BuildKit cache for Daytona image content
misses.
- Export the cache only when the resolved target ref is the default
branch.
- Keep provider credentials outside the image build and cache.
- Install provider-pack dependencies before runner source is copied.
- Keep expensive agent CLI installs before source revision metadata.
- Add workflow and Docker layer-order contract checks.

## Verification

- `prettier --write .github/workflows/runner-full-stack-e2e.yml
tests/runner-e2e/daytona-image.test.ts
tests/runner-e2e/workflow-security.test.ts`
- `actionlint .github/workflows/runner-full-stack-e2e.yml`
- `git diff --check`
- I did not run a test suite or Docker image build locally. The
requested iteration policy reserves those checks for GitHub Actions.

## Risks

Low risk. BuildKit can use a cache record only when its content key
matches the build instruction and input. Development targets have
read-only cache access. The cache contains public source and build
outputs, but it does not receive provider credentials or the GitHub
token as Docker build inputs.

Dotta bcc6fe7a44 fix(runner): restore multi-turn remote sessions (#12840)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - The runner executes agent turns on local and remote providers.
> - A remote per-turn session must save its state before Paperclip
releases its sandbox.
> - The session runtime returned after 100 milliseconds while the remote
checkpoint still ran.
> - The next turn also checked the local state path instead of the
verified remote backup.
> - This pull request waits for the bounded remote close and accepts
only a verified suspended backup.
> - The benefit is reliable multi-turn execution without weaker identity
checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A successful remote agent turn released its sandbox before the runner
saved the verified continuation backup. The next turn failed with
`runner_state_identity_mismatch`.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip must finish the bounded remote checkpoint before it releases
the sandbox. A later turn must validate and restore the digest-matched
suspended backup.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a native ACPX Claude Plan test in a non-reusable Daytona sandbox.
2. Reject the first plan to start a second turn.
3. Observe that the second turn fails before provider execution.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The failure reproduced at `13775a90b078ff64872f50961ea1b83d575e7bc6`.

**Deployment mode**

GitHub Actions with a Daytona sandbox.

## What Changed

- Wait for the internally bounded remote runner close and checkpoint
before the host returns.
- Preserve the existing short cleanup bound for other providers.
- Validate remote continuation lifecycle from a complete digest-verified
backup when local runner state is absent.
- Keep corrupt, non-suspended, mismatched, and unverified state
fail-closed.
- Make native Plan completion and accepted-Plan wake prompts
deterministic.

## Verification

- A prior 45-cell local campaign passed 44 cells. The only failure was
the OpenCode Plan prompt variance fixed here.
- A focused OpenCode local Plan rerun passed.
- ACPX Claude Daytona message and question cells passed.
- Focused regressions cover delayed checkpoint close and verified remote
backup lifecycle.
- GitHub Build and the focused ACPX Claude Daytona Plan cell will
validate this exact head.

## Risks

Remote runnerd sessions now wait for their internally bounded
close/checkpoint path before returning; generic provider cleanup retains
the existing 100 millisecond bound. Durable run success still cannot be
reversed. The environment release guard still blocks sandbox destruction
when no verified backup stamp exists.

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5.6, extended reasoning, with code execution and
GitHub Actions inspection.

Dotta 4ef6155aae ci: harden paid runner browser and lock repair (#12829)
## Thinking Path

Paid cells now reuse the AWS image's system Chrome, but Playwright video
recording still resolves its revision-pinned FFmpeg helper from the
Playwright cache. Run 33875618534 proved Chrome qualification succeeds
and then failed before provider startup because that helper was absent.
The same run also exposed that generic lock repair can churn unrelated
package platform metadata, so the automated repair paths need
resolution-only regeneration rather than lockfile-only metadata refresh.

## What Changed

- install Playwright FFmpeg only on the AWS/system-Chrome path
- retry the small helper installation up to three times before provider
secrets are exposed
- keep the GitHub-hosted Chromium fallback unchanged
- bind static coverage to the exact FFmpeg step block and its pre-secret
ordering
- add pnpm `--resolution-only` to all four automated lock-repair paths
while retaining full transitive resolution
- require resolution-only repair in the shared workflow regression

The actual generated lockfile correction remains bot-owned by PR #12828
and is intentionally not committed here.

## Verification

- `node --test
.github/scripts/tests/lockfile-refresh-workflows.test.mjs`
- `actionlint -ignore SC2012` on all modified workflows
- focused Prettier checks
- `git diff --check`
- prior run 33875618534: system Chrome 151 qualified; missing Playwright
FFmpeg was the sole cell startup failure

## Risks

Low. The new network operation is limited to Playwright's pinned FFmpeg
payload, happens before paid credentials are exposed, and leaves the
hosted-runner path unchanged. Resolution-only is still a full
dependency-resolution pass, unlike lockfile-only, while avoiding
unrelated current-platform metadata churn.

Dotta af3023f1e3 fix(runner): repair paid provider startup paths (#12769)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents that perform work.
> - Paperclip Runner connects durable task runs to local provider
processes.
> - The full-stack paid matrix exposed failures after the runner
integrity repair.
> - Verified JavaScript entrypoints lost their relative module graph
when Linux executed them through descriptor paths.
> - Returned provider startup errors also remained pending and became
indeterminate after recovery.
> - Sparse Codex tool lifecycle events lost the `write_document`
identity before task transcript projection.
> - This pull request repairs those three boundaries and makes the
structured-question fixture deterministic.
> - The benefit is repeatable provider startup, exact failure replay,
and correct inline Plan placement.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12721 and #12700.

**What happened?**

The paid runner matrix failed ACPX and OpenCode startup before provider
session creation. The runner journal then replaced the original startup
error with an indeterminate recovery result. Native Codex saved a Plan
but rendered it only as a fallback card. A legacy Claude waiting reply
could also echo the reserved terminal marker before the answer arrived.

**Expected behavior**

Verified JavaScript providers must start from immutable
descriptor-backed artifacts. Returned startup failures must persist as
terminal failed command results. Native tool lifecycle updates must
preserve the `write_document` boundary. Pre-answer fixture output must
not contain the reserved terminal marker.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run the local provider cells in the Runner Full-Stack E2E workflow.
2. Observe ACPX and OpenCode fail during `session.open` before provider
execution.
3. Observe recovery report `execution_indeterminate` instead of the
original startup error.
4. Run the native Codex Plan cell and observe the fallback Plan card
after the tool activity row.
5. Run the legacy Claude structured-question resume cell and observe an
early marker echo in waiting prose.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`0f9452101740835ce0b1488a204bf48acd5bafc3`

**Deployment mode**

Local development with the paid GitHub Actions acceptance workflow.

## What Changed

- Bundle the ACPX sidecar and OpenCode proxy as self-contained Node ESM
entrypoints before hashing and verified descriptor launch.
- Anchor ACPX dynamic provider package resolution at a
controller-derived provider-pack root and keep that root out of the
provider child environment.
- Persist executor-returned startup errors as redacted durable failed
command results while retaining indeterminate recovery for true process
death.
- Coalesce sparse native tool items by stable ID so a late
`write_document` name, input, and result reach the transcript boundary
once.
- Forbid the structured-question fixture from spelling or announcing its
reserved terminal marker before the user answers.

## Verification

- Rust and TypeScript regression tests cover durable failed replay, true
crash ambiguity, bundle closure, package-root derivation, environment
filtering, exact Codex tool lifecycle coalescing, and prompt
determinism.
- Local execution is intentionally limited to formatters and static diff
checks. GitHub Actions will run tests, type checks, builds, and security
checks.
- After ordinary CI is green, scoped paid cells will validate one ACPX
launch, one OpenCode launch, native Codex Plan projection, and legacy
Claude structured resume before a complete matrix rerun.
- Prior failing matrix:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33682434315

## Risks

- Bundling changes the bytes covered by provider launch hashes.
Provider-pack generation already hashes the final built files.
- ACPX still loads qualified provider packages dynamically. The
controller supplies a normalized package root, while existing version,
digest, path, and descriptor checks remain active.
- Durable `failed` is terminal. Replays return the same redacted result
and do not execute the provider effect twice.

Dotta a0a78ee609 ci: bootstrap Node before pnpm setup (#12808)
## Thinking Path
The trusted workflows currently invoke `pnpm/action-setup@v6` before
installing the repository Node version. On hosts whose ambient Node is
older than 22.13, the action downloads standalone `@pnpm/exe`, which has
repeatedly taken several minutes. Supplying Node 24 first lets the same
pinned pnpm action use its normal Node-backed path.

## What Changed
- install Node 24 before every trusted `pnpm/action-setup` invocation
- preserve the existing pnpm-store cache setup, pinned actions,
telemetry suppression, conditions, and secret boundaries
- enforce ordering, modern Node, condition parity, and cache counts in
the workflow security contract

## Verification
- workflow security: 7/7
- Prettier
- actionlint (excluding one pre-existing SC2129 in an untouched Daytona
shell block)
- `git diff --check`

## Risks
Low. Product code, providers, paid-runner selection, credentials, and
pnpm version are unchanged. Jobs that restore pnpm cache run
`setup-node` a second time after pnpm becomes available; the first setup
is deliberately cache-free.

Dotta 18ea965442 ci(runner): stamp paid target provenance (#12805)
## Thinking Path
Trusted workflow-dispatch runs execute an authorized target SHA, but
GitHub context still describes the default-branch workflow revision.
Retained paid results and artifact names were therefore labeling
target-branch executions as master. The workflow must explicitly pass
its authorized target coordinates to target code and trusted reporting.

## What Changed
- emit the canonical authorized target ref alongside the immutable
target SHA
- pass those coordinates to paid cells and the trusted report
- name shared build/provider artifacts with the target SHA rather than
workflow SHA
- add workflow-security coverage for all trusted provenance wiring

## Verification
- focused workflow-security tests: 6/6 passed
- Prettier and git diff checks passed
- run 33823252706 independently proved the pre-fix defect: functionally
green target cells were retained as master SHA 0ad180b85 instead of
feature SHA 33c7646d3

## Risks
The execution checkout and secret boundary were already pinned
correctly; this changes retained attribution and artifact labels only.
Target-side report code on PR #12769 consumes these trusted environment
values and overwrites untrusted cell metadata.

Dotta 0ad180b85f ci(runner): skip bootstrap registry telemetry (#12797)
## Thinking Path
Every trusted PR and paid-workflow job invokes the pinned pnpm setup
action. Its internal npm install is currently waiting four to seven
minutes on npm audit telemetry before any Paperclip or provider code
runs. Audit, funding, and update notifications are not integrity
controls for this action; its committed lockfile still verifies
installed package bytes.

## What Changed
- disable npm audit, funding, and update-notifier telemetry narrowly on
all seven pinned setup steps in each of the trusted PR and full-stack
workflows
- add a workflow security contract proving every setup invocation
remains covered and the overrides do not leak elsewhere

## Verification
- focused workflow security tests: 6/6 passed
- Prettier and git diff checks passed
- observed unhealthy setup: 4-7+ minutes; historical healthy setup:
about four seconds

## Risks
This skips npm vulnerability-report telemetry for the setup action
bootstrap only. Repository dependency checks, lockfile integrity,
provider-secret authorization, and target-lock verification remain
unchanged.

Dotta 03faa644fb ci(runner): inspect Daytona image metadata remotely (#12795)
## Thinking Path
The reused Daytona image path already verifies the signed immutable
digest. It then downloads every filesystem layer only to read OCI config
fields. Buildx can retrieve the same config from that immutable digest
without pulling the layers. The assertions can therefore stay intact
while removing the expensive transfer.

## What Changed
- inspect the signed immutable Daytona image config through Buildx after
GHCR logout
- preserve digest, source revision, content ID, platform, user, and
provider-pack assertions
- extend the workflow contract test for the metadata-only path

## Verification
- Daytona image and workflow security tests: 10 passed
- Prettier and git diff checks passed
- observed full pull/prune cost: about 4m55s; metadata inspection: about
one second

## Risks
The current image has one runnable linux/amd64 platform plus its
attestation. A future genuinely multi-platform image would need explicit
linux/amd64 selection.

Dotta d3c04d8932 fix(runner-e2e): prepare frozen Daytona plugin dependencies (#12791)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their provider runtimes.
> - The paid runner workflow installs target dependencies with lifecycle
scripts disabled.
> - The bundled Daytona plugin depends on an audited repo-local plugin
SDK link.
> - The lifecycle-safe install path did not create that link.
> - This pull request restores only the trusted Daytona preparation step
before provider secrets are exposed.
> - The benefit is a working Daytona canary without enabling dependency
lifecycle scripts.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The Daytona paid canary stopped before lease or provider startup. The
trusted paid job disabled root lifecycle scripts, so the repo-local
plugin SDK link was absent. The plugin install returned a missing
runtime dependency error for @paperclipai/plugin-sdk.

**Expected behavior**

The trusted workflow must prepare the bundled Daytona plugin without
running untrusted dependency lifecycle scripts. The paid cell must start
only after its runtime dependencies and entrypoints pass validation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Dispatch the runner full-stack paid workflow for
core-compatibility.runner-acpx-claude.daytona.message-marker.
2. Let the trusted job install root dependencies with lifecycle scripts
disabled.
3. Observe the Daytona plugin installation fail before a lease or
provider process starts.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Feature head 781ac7e08c. The failed canary
is Actions run 33803959325.

**Deployment mode**

GitHub Actions paid runner validation.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

ACPX Claude through the bundled Daytona plugin.

**Additional context**

This is a small trusted-workflow prerequisite for public PR #12769. Old
green run 33118525827 created the SDK link through root postinstall.
This change keeps lifecycle scripts disabled and restores only the
audited prerequisite.

## What Changed

- Install standalone Daytona dependencies with lifecycle scripts
disabled.
- Run the audited repo-local plugin SDK linker before provider secrets
are exposed.
- Build the bundled Daytona plugin and verify its runtime dependency
plus both entrypoints.
- Add a security regression for ordering, scope, and secret isolation.

## Verification

- Five focused workflow-security tests passed.
- Seven focused linker tests passed.
- The exact Daytona preparation command completed locally in nine
seconds.
- Prettier and diff whitespace checks passed.

## Risks

Risk is low and limited to Daytona paid cells. The setup still disables
dependency lifecycle scripts. The trusted step runs before provider
credentials enter the job. Any missing or mismatched path fails closed
before provider startup.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-5 Codex with repository tools and code execution.

Dotta 313d6ca115 fix(runner): materialize pinned OpenCode binary (#12782)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their provider runtimes.
> - Paid runner validation installs target dependencies with lifecycle
scripts disabled.
> - OpenCode leaves a sentinel executable until its package lifecycle
script runs.
> - Running arbitrary lifecycle code would weaken the paid-secret
boundary.
> - This pull request materializes one exact pinned binary before
secrets are exposed.
> - The benefit is working OpenCode validation without trusting
dependency install scripts.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Every local OpenCode paid cell stopped before provider startup because
`pnpm install --ignore-scripts` correctly retained
`opencode-ai/bin/opencode.exe` as a sentinel.

**Expected behavior**

The trusted workflow must make the exact lockfile-pinned OpenCode
executable available without running package lifecycle scripts.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run a local legacy or native OpenCode paid cell from the trusted
workflow after the target dependency install. The provider health check
reports that the OpenCode postinstall script was not run.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Default branch commit `865b4854fb44d3689f1c0ff17e3e715d52aaea73`.

## What Changed

- Materialize only `opencode-linux-x64-baseline@1.18.17` into the
matching `opencode-ai@1.18.17` package.
- Verify package identity, version, regular-file type, SHA-256 equality,
executable permissions, and runtime `--version`.
- Invoke the helper for local OpenCode and breadth cells and for remote
provider-pack assembly.
- Retain `pnpm install --ignore-scripts`.
- Add helper and trusted-workflow security regressions.

## Verification

- Helper syntax checks passed.
- Helper unit tests passed: 2/2.
- Workflow-security tests passed: 5/5.
- Prettier, actionlint, and diff whitespace checks passed.

## Risks

Risk is low and contained to paid runner setup. The helper supports only
Linux x64, fails closed on package or version drift, and runs before
provider credentials enter the job.

OpenAI GPT-5 Codex with repository tools and code execution.

Dotta 865b4854fb ci(runner): build paid artifacts once per campaign (#12777)
## Thinking Path

> - Paid cells repeated the same TypeScript and Rust builds even when
one campaign selected dozens of cells.
> - The trusted workflow can compile once without provider credentials
and distribute run-scoped, digest-verified artifacts.
> - The paid cell can then disable install lifecycle scripts, verify
each artifact before extraction, and expose provider credentials only to
the final test step.
> - Local JS-backed providers also need the setup-node interpreter
permission-qualified before Rust verifies the launch artifact.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Run 33786122875 proved target-lock setup and catalog selection, then
failed before provider creation because trusted master did not yet
qualify the setup-node interpreter. The same workflow also rebuilt
TypeScript and Rust inside every matrix cell.

## What Changed

- Build runner TypeScript and native binaries once per campaign in a
credential-free job.
- Build the remote provider pack once only when selected Daytona cells
require it.
- Upload run-scoped bundles with SHA-256 manifests and verify before
extraction in each paid cell.
- Remove repeated TypeScript, provider-pack, and Rust builds from paid
cells.
- Qualify the local provider Node interpreter before verified launch.
- Propagate the resolved target lockfile through all five target-code
jobs.
- Keep local-only selection off Daytona and exclude Xiaomi from the
67-cell catalog.

## Risks

A shared build artifact could fan out a bad payload to many cells. The
producing jobs receive no provider credentials, use the exact authorized
target SHA and resolved lockfile, and publish run-scoped artifacts.
Every consuming job verifies SHA-256 before extraction. Paid dependency
setup keeps lifecycle scripts disabled and provider credentials remain
scoped to the final test step.

## Verification

- Focused runner workflow-security, catalog, and Daytona-image tests:
25/25 passed.
- Prettier passed.
- Actionlint passed with only the two pre-existing SC2129 style notices
ignored.
- Git diff check passed.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5.

## Checklist

- [x] Build jobs are credential-free.
- [x] Paid installs disable lifecycle scripts.
- [x] Artifacts are run-scoped and digest-verified before extraction.
- [x] Trusted report and history jobs remain isolated from target
artifacts.
- [x] No Daytona or Xiaomi paid run was started for this change.

Dotta 6e50ca9d0a ci(runner): prepare target lockfile once for paid validation (#12774)
## Thinking Path

> - The trusted target-branch runner workflow checks out PR code before
paid tests.
> - PR policy intentionally forbids manual lockfile commits.
> - Some runner changes legitimately alter pnpm patch hashes.
> - Frozen installs therefore fail before test selection.
> - Resolve one script-disabled lockfile from the authorized immutable
target SHA and distribute it by exact artifact ID and digest.
> - Keep provider credentials and trusted reporting outside this
resolution job.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Target-branch paid runner campaigns currently fail frozen install when a
PR changes pnpm patch content, even though ordinary PR CI regenerates
the lockfile.

## What Changed

- Added one credential-free target-lock job that resolves the authorized
immutable target SHA with lifecycle scripts disabled.
- Uploaded the resolved lockfile with its SHA-256 and restored it by
exact artifact ID before every target-code frozen install.
- Left trusted reporting and history jobs on the workflow SHA.
- Changed the disabled-AWS fallback from unavailable ubuntu-latest-m to
ubuntu-latest.

## Risks

The workflow evaluates pnpm lockfile resolution from authorized target
code. That job receives no provider credentials, disables lifecycle
scripts, rejects unrelated workspace mutations, and exposes only a
digest-verified lockfile artifact. Paid-secret jobs consume only that
lockfile after exact artifact-ID and SHA-256 validation.

## Verification

- Runner workflow-security focused tests pass.
- actionlint passes.
- Prettier and git diff checks pass.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5.

## Checklist

- [x] Change is narrowly scoped to paid runner orchestration.
- [x] Target lock resolution has no provider credentials and disables
lifecycle scripts.
- [x] Downloaded artifacts are selected by exact artifact ID and
verified by SHA-256.
- [x] Trusted reporting and history jobs remain on the workflow SHA.

Dotta 98c569b2df ci(runner): allow trusted branch targets (#12768)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip uses paid runner tests to qualify agent execution.
> - The runner workflow controls provider secrets and AWS runner access.
> - The trusted workflow must stay on the protected default branch.
> - The code under test often exists on a branch before merge.
> - CODEOWNERS need a safe way to select that branch.
> - This pull request separates workflow authority from the code under
test.
> - The benefit is pre-merge AWS testing without target-controlled
workflow code.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The manual Runner Full-Stack E2E workflow can test only the default
branch.

**Subsystem affected**

GitHub Actions and the paid runner E2E security boundary.

**Current behavior**

A CODEOWNER must merge runner changes before the trusted AWS workflow
can test them.
Selecting another branch as the workflow ref is rejected.

**Proposed behavior**

A CODEOWNER starts the workflow from `master` and supplies a
same-repository branch in `target_branch`.
The authorization job resolves the branch to one commit SHA.
Catalog, image, and paid test jobs check out that SHA after
authorization.
Report sanitization and AWS publication use the trusted workflow SHA.

**Reason and benefit**

This permits paid pre-merge qualification on AWS.
It keeps the workflow definition, report sanitizer, history publisher,
environment deployment, and runner-group permission on `master`.

**Breaking changes**

None.
The new input is optional.
An omitted input still tests the default branch.

## What Changed

- Add the optional `target_branch` workflow input.
- Resolve only a branch in `paperclipai/paperclip` to an immutable SHA.
- Pin catalog, image, paid test, and Daytona provenance to the target
SHA.
- Pin report sanitization and AWS history publication to the trusted
workflow SHA.
- Disable persisted checkout credentials in every job.
- Key cancellation by the selected target branch.
- Add policy regression coverage and operator documentation.

## Verification

- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit` passes with 65 tests.
- `actionlint -ignore SC2129
.github/workflows/runner-full-stack-e2e.yml` passes.
- Prettier checks pass for all changed files.
- `git diff --check` passes.

## Risks

A CODEOWNER can authorize selected branch code to receive a cell-scoped
provider credential.
This is the intended trust decision.
The workflow rejects fork refs and target-controlled workflow
definitions.
The trusted workflow SHA owns report sanitization and AWS history
publication.

Dotta 1b74561fea ci(runner): route paid matrix to AWS fleet (#12765)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents that perform work.
> - The paid runner matrix verifies complete runner behavior with real
providers.
> - Each matrix job currently repeats work on GitHub-hosted runners.
> - Paperclip has an ephemeral AWS runner fleet for trusted workflows.
> - The paid workflow needs a reviewed and fail-closed route to that
fleet.
> - This pull request adds that route and keeps the existing hosted
runner as the disabled-state fallback.
> - The benefit is faster paid campaigns with the same actor,
environment, and secret boundaries.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The Runner Full-Stack E2E workflow always uses `ubuntu-latest-m`. It
limits the matrix to 57 parallel jobs. The repository AWS fleet can run
100 ephemeral jobs, but the paid workflow cannot select it.

**Expected behavior**

An explicit repository flag must select the reviewed AWS fleet label. A
missing or invalid flag must keep the existing hosted runner. The
workflow must authorize the stable actor identity before it routes any
paid job.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Dispatch the Runner Full-Stack E2E workflow from `master`.
2. Inspect a paid matrix job.
3. Observe that the job requests `ubuntu-latest-m` even when the AWS
fleet should be used.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`da0947d3582ac7779d6bf11851c9938eca6c5c8c`

**Deployment mode**

GitHub Actions paid runner campaign.

## What Changed

- Add a fail-closed `RUNNER_E2E_AWS_ENABLED` switch.
- Select only the reviewed AWS fleet label or the existing hosted label.
- Permit up to 100 parallel jobs in AWS mode.
- Keep the hosted-runner limit at 57.
- Reauthorize paid execution before checkout and provider access.
- Stop paid checkouts from storing GitHub credentials.
- Cancel superseded validation-ref campaigns while preserving `master`
audit runs.
- Add workflow policy checks and operator documentation.

## Verification

- `git diff --check`
- `actionlint -ignore SC2129
.github/workflows/runner-full-stack-e2e.yml`
- The organization runner group permits this workflow only from
`refs/heads/master`.
- The repository AWS switch remains disabled until this pull request is
merged and a one-cell probe succeeds.

## Risks

- A wrong fleet policy can leave jobs queued. The disabled state keeps
the existing hosted runner.
- The AWS fleet uses paid compute. The workflow validates a configured
maximum of 100 jobs.
- The runner group, actor allowlist, and paid environment remain
separate enforcement layers.

Dotta 0f94521017 fix(runner): restore local session and task integrity (#12721)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the control plane for agents that perform work.
> - Paperclip Runner connects durable provider sessions to individual
task runs through PRP.
> - Provider continuity and per-run authority are different lifetimes.
> - The existing implementation mixed those lifetimes and lost event
metadata between provider frames, runnerd, persistence, API
sanitization, and the task thread.
> - That caused failed continuation, missing progress and Plans,
duplicate replies, hidden failures, and unsafe recovery.
> - This repair gives every heartbeat fresh authority, preserves
qualified provider-session continuity, and restores one lossless
presentation path without changing direct adapters.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A second native heartbeat could reuse tickets, leases, command receipts,
sequence state, and run identity from the first heartbeat. Provider
phase and item identity could be lost before the UI read them. Redaction
could corrupt protocol discriminators while still missing malformed
credential tails. The task thread could fold progress into the final
response, hide failures, or show more than one final answer. Native
Codex also exposed approval modes that do not yet have a durable
approval bridge.

**Expected behavior**

Each heartbeat uses a new PRP authority epoch. Codex and OpenCode
preserve exact qualified provider sessions; ACPX emits an explicit
continuity event when its qualified process-replacement policy is used.
Every accepted provider event is presented, classified as internal, or
surfaced as unsupported. The task page shows chronological progress,
reasoning summaries, activity, Plans, interactions, terminal failures,
and exactly one final reply. Direct adapters retain their existing path.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Enable the unified experimental Paperclip Runner setting.
2. Create a local native Codex, OpenCode, ACPX Claude, or ACPX Codex
agent.
3. Run response, Plan, structured-question/resume, restart,
cancellation, and failure scenarios.
4. Reload the task while active, waiting, failed, and settled.
5. On the old implementation, observe stale run authority, missing
classifications, incomplete output, or duplicated/folded replies.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The repair is based directly on `master` at
`87d05e194b643810d16d20612115acd01d735d43`.

**Deployment mode**

Local development with the embedded database.

Related work: Refs #12616, #12646, #12666, #12685, and #12700.

## What Changed

- Rotates PRP control-plane, outbox, ticket, lease, command, receipt,
and sequence authority for each heartbeat while carrying forward only a
validated provider-session identity.
- Reads `control-plane-state.json`, validates both durable schemas and
lifecycle values, resumes coherent current runs, archives qualified
settled authority, and quarantines malformed or mismatched scoped state
without moving ambiguous live legacy state.
- Preserves Codex provider phase and stable item identities so
commentary remains progress and only `final_answer` becomes final.
- Adds raw OpenCode HTTP/SSE boundary coverage and canonical reasoning
lifecycle mapping.
- Makes ACPX normalization lossless for visible reasoning, tool
lifecycle metadata, stable bounded identities, Plan revisions,
structured requests, failures, and qualified process replacement. Only
the compatible terminal assistant message is promoted as final.
- Applies schema-aware redaction before generic JWT-shaped detection and
scans every diagnostic string leaf. Malformed raw/escaped quoted
credential tails are redacted in both server and durable Rust state.
- Restores snapshot-style chronological task presentation, expandable
tool activity, inline Plan cards, visible waiting/resume/cancel/failure
states, and exactly one final answer.
- Makes `never` the only qualified native Codex permission mode and
rejects unsupported persisted native modes with remediation. OpenCode
and ACPX policies remain intact.
- Keeps the unified experimental Runner setting as the only enablement
flag. Onboarding and direct Codex, Claude, and OpenCode stay on their
legacy execution/finalization paths.
- Adds cross-language goldens, authority/recovery/fault coverage, exact
response/count assertions, and native plus legacy acceptance scenarios.

## Verification

- Pull-request GitHub Actions run Rust formatting/tests, TypeScript
checks, server/UI tests, builds, protocol drift checks, browser E2E, and
security scans.
- A separate workflow-only validation ref is pinned directly on this PR
head and runs the 35-cell paid local matrix: three core scenarios plus
structured-question resume and restart/resume for native Codex, native
OpenCode, ACPX Claude, ACPX Codex, and direct Codex/Claude/OpenCode.
Run: https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33682434315
- Acceptance requires exact single visible replies, monotonic sequences,
matching envelope discriminators, one semantic terminal, one run
terminal, no unresolved interaction, no duplicate mutation, no secret
leakage, provider continuity, and zero native rows for direct adapters.
- Per maintainer direction, tests are running in GitHub Actions rather
than on the slower local host. Only formatters and static diff checks
were run locally.

## Risks

- Recovery from old or partial filesystem state is sensitive. The repair
fails closed, preserves active or unverifiable authority, and
quarantines only state whose scoped ownership is safe to move.
- Provider event formats can change. Closed validators and boundary
goldens turn new or malformed events into visible diagnostics instead of
silent drops.
- Shared task presentation could affect direct adapters. Runtime-fact
gating plus the direct-adapter matrix protect the existing path.
- Managed and remote providers are not qualified here. Shared code
continues to compile and fail safely, but live qualification is
deferred.

Dotta 5716fe907e test(runner): add full-stack acceptance and eval gates (#12700)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runner subsystem executes agent work across local and managed
provider backends.
> - The lower pull requests restore the task runtime, provider backends,
and managed-provider control plane.
> - The restored system needs repeatable full-stack checks before it can
ship safely.
> - Paid live checks also need clear access, cost, and secret controls.
> - This pull request adds acceptance, live evaluation, chaos, and
release gates for the restored runner stack.
> - The benefit is measurable runner parity with safer release
decisions.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting. This change covers runner tests, release workflows,
server contracts, and evaluation tools.

**Problem or motivation**

The runner stack did not have one complete acceptance surface for native
Codex, ACPX, Claude Managed, and AWS AgentCore. Release checks could
miss provider drift, task-view regressions, cost-policy errors, and
destructive cleanup errors.

**Proposed solution**

Add a 57-cell full-stack catalog, a Daytona image, and opt-in paid
workflows. Add live evaluation, chaos, cost-limit, redaction, and
release contract checks. Add AWS AgentCore infrastructure and guarded
provisioning tools. Keep the native runner experimental flag off by
default.

**Alternatives considered**

We considered manual smoke tests only. They do not give repeatable
evidence and they do not protect release branches. We also considered
one large pull request. The stacked pull requests keep each review below
the Greptile file limit.

**Roadmap alignment**

This work supports the shipped Cloud / Sandbox agents milestone and the
shipped Agent evals & feedback milestone in `ROADMAP.md`.

Related stack:

- #12699 adds managed provider backends and lifecycle support.
- #12691 adds qualified OpenCode and ACPX provider backends.
- #12685 restores task runtime rendering and steering.

## What Changed

- Add the runner full-stack harness with 57 catalog cells and 60 unit
tests.
- Add a Daytona runner image with digest-pinned base images and
base-aware image-content checks.
- Add guarded live evaluation and chaos workflows with a fixed
40-execution matrix; live and full-stack paid schedules now run only on
Sundays or by manual dispatch.
- Add in-flight reported-usage cost stops, post-turn cost caps,
exact-threshold failure classification, secret redaction, retry
classification, and actor authorization.
- Reattach stream and hard-budget listeners before restart-recovery
continuations so restored paid sessions cannot bypass in-flight
interruption.
- Preserve OpenCode usage and cost across tool-loop messages and turns
while exposing an explicit current-run delta to durable accounting.
- Keep PNG/WebM evidence in access-controlled artifacts only, reject
SVG, and publish only pruned inert structured per-attempt evidence.
- Add AWS AgentCore infrastructure, provisioning checks, and smoke
tools; reject unsafe model identifiers, require exact stack ownership
markers, and make failed-stack replacement explicit.
- Add evaluation-session contracts and capability reports.
- Add release workflow checks for immutable action pins, frozen
dependency installs, exact weekly cron shape, paid-run guards,
provider-secret isolation, and chaos test paths.
- Reauthorize the original and triggering numeric actor IDs as the first
step of every provider-secret job, including partial reruns, before
checkout or provider access.
- Give each full-stack matrix cell only its matching provider
credential, expose Daytona only to Daytona cells, and disable shared
dependency caches anywhere paid credentials or OIDC write access are
present.
- Protect the legacy manual E2E workflow with the same default-branch,
allowlist, environment, and per-job authorization boundary.
- Rotate live-eval candidates by week and retain 120 days of compatible
history so the seven-week trend window remains viable.
- Restore the root runner-acceptance commands and reconcile reported
snapshots,
raw receipts, and terminal usage without double counting or losing late
usage.
- Mark ACPX token deltas exact only when every budget field is present,
keep
cumulative cost/request authority separate, reject non-USD cost
labeling,
  and include thought tokens in output-token budgets.
- Keep `enableNativeRunner` off by default. The acceptance harness
enables it only in its isolated test instance.

- The rebased PR changes 92 files. `pnpm-lock.yaml` is unchanged.

I did not run paid live provider jobs or provision AWS resources. Those
checks need credentials and can create cost.

## Risks

The paid workflows can create provider cost. They require an allowlisted
original and triggering actor, the protected `runner-e2e-paid`
environment, explicit opt-in variables, and cost limits. The four
provider credentials exist only in that master-only environment, which
requires allowlisted reviewer approval and disables administrator
bypass; repository and organization Actions scopes contain no copies.

Provider usage arrives after a billable request, so the live guard
cannot prevent one request from crossing a threshold. It interrupts
immediately on the first reported threshold hit and permits no
continuation.

Visual evidence can contain secrets rendered as pixels. PNG/WebM remain
only in access-controlled workflow artifacts; SVG and per-attempt XML
are excluded, and S3/Pages receive a pruned structured dashboard.

The AWS scripts can create cloud resources. They use explicit commands,
least-privilege roles, KMS encryption, saved nonsecret metadata, and
explicit teardown.

This pull request does not enable the experimental native runner for
existing instances.
