Nicky LeachandPaperclip fb2e07ebdd Wait for physical authority before activating hosted warm routes (#19277)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Core can give two consecutive runs, A and B, the same hosted Runner
so B can continue A’s conversation.
> - During that handoff, Core can record that B is next while the Runner
still answers as A.
> - If Core restarts at that point and tries to connect for B, the
Runner rejects the connection. B’s next turn stalls.
> - This PR makes Core finish the handoff over A’s connection and check
which run the Runner now reports.
> - Once the Runner reports B and authenticates B’s connection, B can
continue on the same Runner.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

- Refs #17390 for hosted Runner reuse.
- Refs #19157 for recovering a stopped Runner session before attaching
the next run.

## What Changed

- If the Runner still reports A, Core uses A’s connection to acknowledge
the result of `run.attach`. This tells the Runner that Core saved the
handoff and that it can switch to B.
- Core reads the Runner’s saved state and checks it against the recorded
handoff. If the Runner already reports B for that handoff, Core connects
for B directly. Core waits for B’s connection to authenticate before
sending its work. This applies both during an ordinary handoff and after
Core restarts.

## Verification

- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/live/runnerd-staged-handoff.test.ts` with the native test binaries
built. The regression replaces Core at four points in the handoff.
Before the fix, Core tried to connect for B while the Runner still
reported A.
- With the fix, B and a third run each start and finish one turn. The
test observes one Runner process, one controlled Codex provider process,
and one conversation thread throughout.
- All seven handoff cases passed. GitHub CI passed after retrying an
unrelated port collision and interrupted jobs. Standard Greptile scored
the commit 5/5. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42070818838)

## Risks

- The host must be able to read the Runner’s state. If Core cannot
verify the switch before the existing deadline, it leaves the handoff
pending and sends no work for B. Live hosted verification is still
separate.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 2506bcdaf4 Admit exact stopped Runner sources under the current run lease (#19134)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native execution keeps provider state and a durable controller
journal.
> - A completed process can stop before the next run attaches.
> - The current run must own recovery of that exact source.
> - An old controller must lose permission to change the consumed source
journal.
> - This pull request adds explicit source admission and protected task
dispatch.
> - The benefit is a narrow recovery boundary that preserves the
original successful result.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Native prerequisites #19132 and #19153 are merged into master. This PR
targets master and updates the TypeScript Runner driver contract
alongside Core and SDK admission. This change adds the SDK and Core
admission boundary. Executor selection and fresh source preparation are
a separate change. Related #17916 supplies the workspace export holds
preserved here.

## What Changed

- Plugins advertise `codexSourceRecoveryVersion: 1` for Codex App Server
and `acpxSourceRecoveryVersion: 1` for ACPX. Hosts can qualify either,
both, or neither. Core selects the matching field, because a
stopped-source check for one provider cannot establish the other
provider’s recovery guarantees. ACPX orchestration is tracked separately
in #19196. Use the existing exact source identity and `resumeFrom` under
the authenticated current run. No public recovery mode is added. Require
the claimed source, current account and prepared launch at protected
dispatch.
- Keep the first source binding pinned on the consumer lease, including
after uncertain dispatch. A newly acquired coordinator can refresh only
the same source.
- Claim one stopped successful source under the current run's acquired
native lease. Store the token-free consumer reference in existing lease
metadata. Preserve the source status and result.
- Check the exact six source identity fields, encrypted journal header,
company, task, agent, environment, driver, workspace, account selection,
and current coordinator generation. Keep workspace export and legacy
settlement holds.
- Serialize claims and checkpoint writers in the same coordinator lock
order. Reject stale source writes after consumption. Check the current
consumer before recovered source writes.
- Check source admission before and after protected worker dispatch.
Keep the request and lease owned by the current run while the native
identity remains the source.
- Allow the same owner to prepare B after a fresh source submission,
using the exact consumed-source proof instead of a generic warm-reuse
flag. Recheck that proof after dispatch.
- Preserve ordinary cached adoption and repeated preparation after
launch. The current authenticated owner can differ from the adopted PRP
identity without requesting a new source launch. Keep ordinary suspended
recovery and live task attachment checks. Extract the shared source
resolver to avoid a module cycle, and make ordinary selection honor the
same durable source consumer.

## Verification

- Current head `cac9cf188a` includes merged #19300 and the symmetric
capabilities introduced in `b7e25a64b4`. The task-owner and warm-rebind
fixtures now identify their physical task. All 29 SDK schema cases, 95
Core ownership and source-admission cases, 25 native Codex and ACPX
recovery cases, and the binary metadata check passed on this head. The
SDK and Runner builds and server typecheck passed. Both native providers
reject the other provider’s capability. GitHub CI is green and [standard
Greptile scored this commit
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19134#issuecomment-6645574114)
with no open threads.

- Previous head `bda49271a4ae362a15baf3fe6d6d297e25fd2000` is directly
based on master after #19132 and #19153 landed. [GitHub workflow
42072192023](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42072192023)
passed on its first attempt. All check runs completed successfully or as
intentional workflow skips; Snyk passed. Standard Greptile scored this
exact head 5/5. That review had no unresolved findings.
- Runner and SDK TypeScript builds and server typecheck passed. The
focused SDK, task-owner, task-runtime, PostgreSQL source and authority
suites passed all 161 cases. The production transport-factory getter
regression and 14 native-lane selection checks also passed.
- The Linux native lane executed the new ordinary warm A→B process case.
It kept one Runner/provider process and completed two turns on the same
thread. The eager-getter mutation fails with
`native_runner_source_attachment_pending`; preserving the live getter
passes. The production factory test changes the current owner after
transport creation and checks that same options object.
- PostgreSQL cases cover both concurrent source-writer/claim orders,
exact source submission under the current caller, source-switch denial
after uncertain dispatch, same-source coordinator refresh, stale
same-boot generation, corrupted journal headers, competing consumers,
account changes and export holds.
- The protected dispatch sequence submits A, prepares B and retries B
preparation. It rejects undispatched sources, changed accounts and
foreign target bindings. Source status and accepted result remain
unchanged.
- Ordinary adopted A preparation under current B, repeated ordinary
preparation after launch and ordinary suspended continuation retain
their existing path. Absent or false claims preserve ordinary identity
denial; malformed claims fail closed.
- Earlier development attempts exposed ordinary preparation regressions
and the live-getter omission; the final regressions cover those fixes.
The first embedded PostgreSQL attempt needed missing library aliases
repaired in ignored dependencies. Those attempts are not passing
evidence.
- Historical, superseded CI heads had unchanged UI fake-timer and
Playwright health-response-lifetime failures. Their isolated cases and
scoped retries passed. The response-lifetime cause remains unproven. No
UI/test timeout was changed. The final rebased-head workflow above
passed without a retry.
- Whitespace and added-line secret/PII scans passed. Full workspace
checks ran on GitHub. No live vendor probe or deployment was performed.

## Risks

- Any driver that used the earlier Codex TypeScript option must use
`codexSourceRecoveryVersion`. The new plugin description rejects the
generic spelling. The Launcher’s existing Codex-specific HTTP header can
map to this property when the plugin adopts the new SDK. The change
requires no journal migration or ROM change.

- This is an inactive admission foundation. Executor orchestration is
separate in #19157. Native restore integrity and provider
stopped-source/account validation must be present before executor
activation. The native prerequisite uses ordinary recovery followed by
attachment. The composed executor proofs are in #19157.
- The source claim is durable. A later controller must recover the same
consumer or keep the hold. It cannot select another source after an
ambiguous launch.
- Admission adds bounded database checks around protected startup calls.
Busy issue locks fail closed; other lock waits have a one-second bound.
- No migration, snapshot format, proactive receipt, recurring worker, or
deployment is included. Full workspace checks and platform coverage run
in CI. These tests do not prove vendor history durability or a hosted
rollout.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`), high reasoning, through Codex with
repository tools and code execution. The runtime does not expose a
context-window size.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 22281d4b3a feat(task-chat): approve harness-proposed plans (Codex plan mode, Claude ExitPlanMode) (#19291)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents run through the native runner. Codex and Claude Code each
have their own plan mode, and each produces a proposed-plan document.
> - Paperclip already has a planning work mode, an issue `plan`
document, and a `request_confirmation` approval gate for plans.
> - These parts were not connected. The Codex proposed-plan item was
transcript text only. The server path never put Codex into plan mode.
Claude was never put into plan mode, and its ExitPlanMode plan was
dropped. A planning run could close its task as done with no approval.
> - This pull request turns a harness's own proposed plan into the
issue's Plan document and the existing approval gate, for Codex and
Claude.
> - The benefit is that users approve or send back the agent's real plan
from the task chat. Approve resumes the agent. Request changes sends the
reason back to the agent.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19252

**Subsystem affected**
Native runner provider events (Codex and ACPX Claude), the runner Codex
provider (Rust), server native plan synchronization, and the task chat
UI.

**Problem or motivation**
Codex and Claude both produce a proposed-plan document in their native
plan mode. Paperclip did not use it. In live tests on the server path, a
Codex planning run was not in Codex plan mode, saved its own
`implementation-plan` document, and marked the task done without
approval. Claude planning runs were not in Claude plan mode, and the
ExitPlanMode plan text never reached Paperclip.

**Proposed solution**
Add a canonical `plan.proposed` event for a harness's proposed plan. Put
Codex and Claude into their native plan mode for planning runs. Save a
completed proposal as the issue `plan` document with the existing
`request_confirmation` gate. Agents can also propose a plan on a
standard task; the work mode stays standard.

**Alternatives considered**
Reuse `plan.updated`. Its schema is the within-turn checklist and is not
the durable Plan document, so a separate event keeps the two clear.
Stronger prompt text without native plan mode. Live tests showed that
the model kept its own document workflow.

**Roadmap alignment**
This reuses the issue plan document, planning work mode and approval
gate that already exist. It adds one canonical provider event.

## What Changed

- `packages/paperclip-runner/protocol/schemas/*`: add the
`plan.proposed` event (`paperclip.plan.proposed.v1`: `proposalId`,
`status`, `markdown` up to 60k characters, `source`). Regenerate the
schema bundle, validators and manifest.
- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/provider-events.ts`: map the Codex
`plan` item and a `<proposed_plan>` block in a completed Codex message
to `plan.proposed`. Add `claudePlanProposalEvent`.
-
`packages/paperclip-runner/runner/crates/runner-core/src/codex_provider.rs`:
send Codex's native `collaborationMode: plan` on `turn/start` for a
read-only (planning) Codex run. Before this change the server path never
sent it.
- `runner-core/src/acpx_event_payload.rs`: admit `plan.proposed` as ACPX
rich display activity.
- `drivers/acpx/codex-runtime-adapter.ts`: set Claude Code to native
plan mode for a read-only run. Capture Claude's ExitPlanMode plan from
its permission request, record it, and decline the native "Ready to
code?" prompt.
- `drivers/acpx/codex-acpx-driver.ts`, `cli/acpx-runtime-sidecar.ts`:
emit the captured proposal as a rich event. Complete that turn instead
of reporting it as cancelled.
- `backends/codex-native-backend.ts`: per-harness plan-mode
instructions, and a short opt-in hint for Claude on standard tasks.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.ts`:
synchronize a completed `plan.proposed` into the `plan` document and a
`request_confirmation` in planning and standard mode. Do not change the
issue status during the run (that revoked the run's lease). The run
finalizer turns the pending confirmation into the review wait.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat-run-summary.ts`: keep a
`<proposed_plan>` block out of the posted reply.
- UI: new `plan_proposal` provider family. The task chat shows a live
"Writing plan" card while a proposal streams and a one-line record when
it completes. Resolved plan reviews keep a receipt ("Approved Plan v1",
"Requested changes to Plan v1: reason"). Plan previews skip section
headings.
- Storybook: `Tasks and conversations/.../Task chat/Proposed plan
approval` shows the journey.
- `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`: describe harness-proposed plan approval.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib` (new:
`read_only_codex_turns_use_native_plan_collaboration_mode`)
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/provider-events.test.ts
src/drivers/acpx/codex-runtime-adapter.test.ts`
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/native-plan-proposal-sync.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-run-summary.test.ts`
- `cd ui && npx vitest run
src/components/transcript/native-run-events.test.ts
src/components/task-chat`
- Live test on a local worktree instance with real harnesses:
- Codex (`gpt-5.6-sol`), planning task: Codex asked one question, then
produced a native plan item. The task showed Plan v1 with Approve plan /
Request changes and moved to in review. Approve changed the work mode to
standard. Codex then implemented the plan and its tests passed.
- Codex, Request changes with a reason: Codex woke in planning mode and
produced Plan v2 that includes the change.
- Claude (`claude-opus-5-5`), planning task: Claude was in plan mode.
ExitPlanMode became Plan v1 and the turn completed. Approve resumed
Claude in standard mode, and Claude implemented the plan.
- Claude, standard task that asks for a plan first: Claude stopped
before code changes and asked for plan approval. The work mode stayed
standard.
- Storybook: open `Proposed plan approval` and check each stage.

## Risks

- Codex planning runs now really use Codex plan mode on the server path.
Codex can ask a clarifying question before it proposes. This matches
Codex plan mode.
- Claude planning runs now use Claude plan mode. A declined ExitPlanMode
ends the Claude turn; the runner reports it as completed. Claude's tool
row for that request records a rejection from Claude's side.
- Codex does not stream the proposed plan on the server path yet, so the
live card shows a placeholder until the plan completes.
- A `<proposed_plan>` block in any completed Codex message on a standard
task now asks for approval. This is the documented opt-in path.

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

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits, browser). Long context. No extended
thinking mode was used.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 2575b941d0 feat(task-chat): show hook and auto-review decisions as governance rows (#19266)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents run on harnesses such as Codex and Claude, and the task chat
shows what each run did
> - Harnesses make automatic decisions: hooks block or allow tool calls,
and Codex auto-review approves or denies actions
> - Today Paperclip drops these decisions or shows them as generic rows.
Codex `safety.review.*` always says `decision: "unknown"`, the native
Rust runner drops `hook/*` and `item/autoApprovalReview/*`, and
claude-agent-acp drops Claude hook messages
> - An operator cannot see why an agent changed course or which action
ran without a person's approval. This conflicts with Paperclip's
approval-gate model
> - This pull request records each hook and review decision with its
reason and shows it as a small governance row in the task chat
> - The benefit is that automatic decisions become auditable, and a
blocked action explains itself without opening run logs

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19252 (precedent: canonical `plan.updated` events rendered as a
task-chat card).
Builds on #19259 (ACP `_meta` passthrough from ACPX), now merged.

**Subsystem affected**
Runner provider events (Rust native Codex normalizer, TS drivers, ACPX
sidecar), the claude-agent-acp patch, the PRP provider-event schema, and
the task chat activity UI.

**Problem or motivation**
Hook and auto-review outcomes reach Paperclip but are lost or flattened.
Codex reviews always record an unknown decision. Native Codex runs drop
hook and review notifications in the Rust normalizer. Claude hook
messages never leave the adapter. Codex reuses one `run.id` for every
call of a hook, and the id contains a host path.

**Proposed solution**
Map the real outcome, decision, action, risk and reason into additive
optional fields on `paperclip.hook.v1` and `paperclip.safety.review.v1`.
Forward Claude SDK hook messages. Render small grey rows: a stopped
action is tinted and shows its reason, an approved review folds into the
command it approved as an "auto-approved" mark, and routine hook passes
stay out of activity summaries.

**Alternatives considered**
Separate rows for every approval. This duplicated each approved command,
so approvals fold into the command row instead.

## What Changed

- Runner (Rust): new `governance_events.rs`.
`normalize_codex_notification` now maps `hook/started|completed` and
`item/autoApprovalReview/started|completed`. Each hook call gets its own
id (a digest of the run id and start time), so no host path is stored.
- Runner (TS): new `governance-events.ts` with the same mapping for the
TS Codex driver, and the Claude hook mapping. The ACPX sidecar publishes
Claude hook updates as schema-validated `hook.*` rich events.
- claude-agent-acp patch: turns on `includeHookEvents` and forwards
`hook_started` / `hook_response` on
`session_info_update._meta.claudeCode.hook`, with bounded output.
- Protocol: additive optional fields. Hook records get `outcome`,
`message`, `source` and `toolName`, and the `blocked` and `stopped`
statuses. Review records get `actionKind`, `action`, `riskLevel`,
`userConsent` (the reviewer's user-authorization level; keys that end in
"authorization" are redacted as secrets), `rationale` and `decidedBy`,
and the `timed_out` and `aborted` decisions. Regenerated the manifest
and validators.
- Fixed: the hook `blocking` flag read `executionMode === "blocking"`,
but Codex sends `sync` / `async`.
- UI: `native-run-events` keeps the full hook and review payloads.
`governance-presentation.ts` writes the row labels.
`fold-auto-reviews.ts` attaches an approved review to its command row.
The rows show the tint, the reason line and the "auto-approved" mark.
Activity summaries lead with a block or denial.
- Storybook: "Task chat / Governance rows" shows every outcome, a Codex
run, a Claude run and the live line.
- Docs: added a governance activity section to
`packages/paperclip-runner/docs/protocol-compatibility.md`.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/governance-events.test.ts src/provider-events.test.ts
src/drivers/codex src/drivers/acpx src/cli`. 2305 tests pass. This
includes a replay of real Codex 0.160 notifications from a session with
hooks and auto-review
(`test-fixtures/governance/codex-0.160-hooks-auto-review.json`,
sanitized).
- `cargo test --release -p paperclip-runner-core`. The full suite
passes, and `governance_events::tests` replays the same fixture.
- `cd ui && npx vitest run`. 11,047 tests pass.
- `node scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`, `pnpm check:token-gates`, and
the runner contract checks (`check:protocol-manifest`,
`check:protocol-types`, `check:capability-contract`,
`check:protocol-coverage`, replay goldens, contract fingerprints) pass.
- Live test on a local isolated instance. A Codex agent and a Claude
agent each used a preconfigured home with a PreToolUse hook that blocks
edits to `0001_init.sql`, plus UserPromptSubmit and PostToolUse hooks.
Both runs showed "PreToolUse hook blocked a tool call" (Codex) or
"PreToolUse hook blocked Bash" (Claude), with the hook's message. They
also showed "UserPromptSubmit hook added context", and the group summary
started with the block.
- Auto-review cannot run in Paperclip today, because the native Codex
runner only allows `approvalPolicy: never`. The review mapping and the
approval fold are proven against real Codex 0.160 app-server output
(fixture above) and in Storybook.

## Risks

- Low risk to execution. These records are display-only and carry no
authority. All new schema fields are optional, so older records stay
valid and older UIs ignore the new fields.
- The `auto-approved` fold depends on `targetItemId` matching the
command's execution id. Real Codex 0.160 data confirms that it matches.
When there is no match, the review stays as its own row.
- In Paperclip's isolated homes, hooks do not run, because the runner
never copies hooks into an isolated home. Rows appear only for agents
with a preconfigured home, or with future managed hooks.
- The claude-agent-acp patch changes. The ACPX profile check still
passes, because the patch is Paperclip's ACPX layer and not the upstream
release.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, browser and file editing) and extended reasoning.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 dd889e6a0b feat: show the assignee's provider usage limit in task properties (#19270)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents run on the native Runner through the Codex app-server and the
Claude ACP harness
> - Both harnesses report the provider account's rate-limit windows:
Codex sends `account/rateLimits/updated`, and Claude sends its SDK
`rate_limit_event` as `usage_update._meta["_claude/rateLimit"]`
> - Paperclip dropped both signals, so an operator could not see that an
agent was near or past its provider limit
> - This pull request normalizes both signals into one account-scoped
snapshot, keeps the latest snapshot per agent, and shows it as one
"Usage limit" line in the task properties pane
> - The benefit is that an operator sees "5h 78% · resets 15:40" (amber
above 80%, "Limited until …" when the provider refuses work, "using
credits" when a used-up window falls back to credits) next to the
assignee, and can click it for every window

Refs #19246
Refs #19259

**Is your feature request related to a problem?**
Codex and Claude report provider rate-limit windows during a run.
Paperclip dropped them: the Codex notification fell through the Rust
normalizer with no branch, and ACPX dropped Claude's `_meta`. Operators
could not see how close an agent was to its provider limit.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Store the latest reported windows per agent and show one compact line in
the task properties pane, with a popover that lists every window.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
A full gauge in the agent list and the run header. A design review chose
one property line with a details popover instead.

## What Changed

- Runner (Rust, the runnerd path): new `provider_rate_limits.rs`. Codex
`account/rateLimits/updated` becomes a `provider.notice.recorded` event
(category `provider.rate_limits`, scope `account`). `CodexProviderState`
merges sparse updates and emits a notice only when the windows change.
ACPX `usage_update` with a sanitized `rateLimit` field also emits the
notice.
- Runner (sidecar): `acpx-runtime-sidecar.ts` forwards only `status`,
`rateLimitType`, `utilization` and `resetsAt` from
`_meta["_claude/rateLimit"]`. This needs the ACPX `_meta` passthrough
from #19259. Until that merges, Claude emits nothing.
- Runner (TypeScript in-process drivers): the same mapping in
`codex-session-notifications.ts` and `codex-acpx-driver.ts` through
`drivers/provider-rate-limits.ts`.
- Shared: `provider-rate-limits.ts` holds the snapshot type, the parser,
the merge, and `summarizeProviderRateLimits` (fullest current window,
expiry by reset time, limited versus using credits).
- Server: `agent-provider-rate-limits.ts` merges each notice into
`agent_runtime_state.state_json.providerRateLimits`, scoped by company
and agent. A session reset keeps the snapshot. No migration.
- UI: `AgentRateLimitPropertyValue` adds a "Usage limit" row under the
assignee in `IssueProperties`. Transcripts treat the notice as run-log
only. A run status event refreshes the assignee's runtime state.
- Storybook: `Tasks and conversations/Task creation and lifecycle/Usage
limit property`.
- Docs: `doc/run-log-events.md` describes the notice and its storage.

## Verification

- `cd packages/paperclip-runner/runner && cargo test -p
paperclip-runner-core --lib rate_limit` and `--test
acpx_provider_events`: sparse Codex merge, dedupe, reached window,
checkpoint round trip, Claude utilization and rejection, notice shape.
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/drivers/provider-rate-limits.test.ts src/drivers/codex`
- `cd packages/shared && npx vitest run
src/provider-rate-limits.test.ts`: summary, expiry, limited, using
credits, parse and merge.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/agent-provider-rate-limits.test.ts`: create and merge,
out-of-order snapshot, company isolation, unrelated notices, session
reset keeps the snapshot.
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/transcript
src/components/issue-properties src/context/LiveUpdatesProvider`
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm check:token-gates` pass.
- Live test on a local worktree instance: a native Codex agent on a
ChatGPT subscription login ran a real task. The runner recorded one
`provider.rate_limits` notice. The server stored it. The task properties
pane showed "7d 100% · using credits" (this account's weekly window was
used up and had credits, and the run succeeded). The transcript showed
no extra row.
- Not verified live: Claude. The local Claude CLI was not signed in, and
the Claude path also needs #19259. The Rust and sidecar paths have
tests.
- Not run locally: the full `pnpm test:run` and `pnpm build`. CI runs
them.

## Risks

- Low risk. The snapshot is display data. It does not hold or start
work. The existing provider-limit wait (#19246) still reads typed run
failures.
- Codex can send a rate-limit update often. The runner emits a notice
only when the windows change, so run-log growth stays small.
- With API-key auth, the harnesses report no windows, so no row appears.
This is the intended result.
- `CodexProviderState` gains two optional serde fields with defaults, so
older checkpoints still load.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 86a9d3ec6c feat(task-chat): tool rows that say what ran and how it went (#19265)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task chat shows each tool call an agent makes as a short
activity row.
> - Real Claude runs showed Bash rows named "Terminal" with no command
and Write rows stuck at "Preparing file…". No row showed an exit code or
a duration, and a tool refused by policy looked like any other failure.
> - Codex already reported exit codes, durations and parsed command
actions, but the UI dropped them, and every Codex read looked like a
shell command.
> - This pull request gives both harnesses one row grammar: a verb icon,
the real subject, an exit chip and a duration.
> - The benefit is that a reviewer can see what ran and how it went
without opening each row.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19259 (this branch includes its `_meta` passthrough commit; merge
#19259 first or together).

**Problem or motivation**
Claude tool rows hide what ran: the runner keeps the first ACP title
("Terminal", "Preparing file…") and drops the refined one. `exitCode`
and `durationMs` are null on every Claude tool event. The UI ignores
`tool.execution.progressed`, `exitCode` and `durationMs` for every
harness.

**Proposed solution**
Read real tool facts in the runner (Claude `_meta.claudeCode`, raw input
and result text; Codex `commandActions`), carry them in the canonical
tool event, and render one row grammar in the task chat.

**Alternatives considered**
Enable Claude's `terminal_output` client capability to get
`terminal_exit`. That changes how command output arrives, and Claude's
own exit code is derived from the error flag anyway, so this PR reads
the error flag and the "Exit code N" text instead.

## What Changed

- **Runner (TS):** `createAcpxToolEventNormalizer` keeps the latest
concrete title instead of the first placeholder. It merges tool facts
across the lifecycle and measures the duration. New
`acpxToolDetailFromRuntimeEvent` reads the native tool name, the command
or pattern, the description, the exit code and a "Permission denied"
reason. Exit 0 is inferred only for Claude `Bash`, where a non-zero exit
is always a failed result.
- **ACPX sidecar:** reads the facts before `rawInput` is dropped and
sends a bounded `toolDetail`. A file path argument becomes an attested
workspace-relative location.
- **runner-core (Rust):** validates `toolDetail`.
`normalize_acpx_tool_call` uses the native name, exit code, duration,
subject, description and blocked reason. Codex `commandExecution` gets
its operation, a single-file target and a subject from `commandActions`.
The shell wrapper is removed, and a single search reads as `"TODO" in
src`.
- **Protocol:** `toolExecution` gains the optional fields `subject`,
`description` and `blockedReason`. Generated validators and the manifest
are regenerated.
- **UI:**
- `nativeRunEventsToTranscript` handles `tool.execution.progressed` and
passes a canonical `detail` on `tool_call` entries.
- The task-chat row shows `$ command`, a path or a pattern, a red `exit
N` chip (exit 0 only for commands) and a duration (0 is hidden).
  - Three or more consecutive reads fold into "Read N files a, b, c +1".
  - A refused tool shows "Blocked" with its reason.
- **Storybook:** `Tasks/Tool rows` compares the data recorded today with
the new runner data for Claude and Codex.

## Verification

- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/provider-events.test.ts src/cli src/drivers/acpx` (1,957 pass)
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner/runner && cargo test -p
paperclip-runner-core --lib provider_events`
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/transcript
src/components/task-chat` (973 pass)
- `pnpm check:token-gates`, `pnpm --filter paperclip-runner build`
(includes the protocol coverage and replay-golden checks)
- Live runs on a local instance with real harnesses:
- Codex (gpt-5.6-sol): the rows read `$ node --test` with `exit 1` and
then `exit 0`, plus real durations. A three-file `sed` shows as one
command and does not claim a single file.
- Claude (claude-sonnet-5-5 through ACPX): the rows show `Bash` and
`Edit` instead of "Terminal" and "Preparing file…". Commands show their
real text, `exit 0` and durations, and edits show `Edited temp.js`.
- Not seen live: a real Claude `Write`, a folded read run and a Claude
policy denial. Unit and Rust tests cover them.

## Risks

- The tool-execution schema gains only optional fields, so older events
stay valid. Older runs keep rendering with what they recorded.
- Commands now cross the sidecar boundary as `subject` (bounded to 4,000
characters). Codex already recorded commands as the tool name, and
server redaction still applies.
- The tool lifecycle now keeps the latest concrete title. A provider
that retitles a call to something less useful would show the newer
title.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool use,
code execution and browser automation.

DottaandPaperclip 55389554c2 fix(runner): paginate workspace discovery before journal persistence (#19311)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native agents discover reusable workspaces through
`list_workspaces`.
> - The tool returned every authorized workspace in one result.
> - A large inventory exceeded the durable command journal limit. The
result stayed pending, and session cleanup blocked the next turn.
> - This pull request limits discovery in SQL and returns explicit
continuation metadata.
> - Agents can inspect every authorized workspace without sending the
full inventory in one command.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #15749 introduced the task workspace tools. No duplicate
pagination fix was found.

**What happened?**

A native workspace discovery call returned a multi-megabyte inventory.
Persisting its result failed with `command_payload_too_large`. The
preceding answer could still be saved, but cleanup retained the
unsettled tool call. A later turn failed before provider work with
`native_session_cleanup_quarantined`.

**Expected behavior**

Workspace discovery must return a manageable page. Agents must be able
to request the remaining authorized rows. Existing visibility checks and
journal integrity checks must stay effective.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create 2,000 task-selectable workspaces with ordinary repository
paths.
2. Call `list_workspaces` from an admitted native run.
3. On the old code, the real API regression returns 869,781 bytes. The
command journal allows about 510 KiB.
4. On the repaired code, follow `nextCursor` to inspect all rows. Pages
contain at most 100 rows and fit within 128 KiB.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on source commit `7351a9d74f` before the repair.

**Deployment mode**

Isolated source checkout with real PostgreSQL and authenticated native
agent APIs. Hosted deployment and incident recovery remain separate.

## What Changed

- Validate workspace list limits and UUID cursors with a JSON Schema
pattern supported by strict validators. Return `workspaces`, `limit`,
`returnedCount`, `hasMore`, and `nextCursor`.
- Apply company, visibility, lifecycle, and cursor conditions before the
SQL limit. Order pages by workspace ID. Fetch one extra row to detect
continuation without a count query.
- Fit encoded pages within 128 KiB, including JSON escaping and Unicode.
If one summary cannot fit, return explicit string previews with
`truncatedFields`. The authorized detail API retains its full record.
- Keep existing unpaged summary callers on their array response and
recent-use order.
- Update the native tool descriptor, generated contracts, catalog
fixture, and execution documentation.
- Add regression coverage for large inventories, complete pagination,
stable pages, private and foreign rows, invalid inputs, and legacy
summary behavior. Add an opt-in two-turn live Codex acceptance check.

## Verification

- Red before repair: `task-workspace-api.test.ts -t "pages a large
authorized workspace inventory"` failed because the result was 869,781
bytes instead of below 128 KiB. The transport regression also failed at
2,284,671 bytes.
- Green after repair and review changes: 120 tests passed across the
workspace API, transport, routes, native authority, coordinator,
historical-question, and Codex vertical-slice suites. They cover
complete discovery, byte-sized pages, oversized individual summaries,
full detail retrieval, private/foreign/lifecycle exclusions, and strict
schema compatibility.
- Journal safety: two focused durable control-plane tests passed.
Oversized result rejection and lossless valid result delivery remain
effective.
- Tool catalog and reconciliation: 30 tests passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm build`: passed again on final commit `bc10880da6`. Server
typecheck also passed after the review changes. The original affected
suites passed on the rebased first commit (31 tests), and the expanded
review regression set passed afterward (120 tests).
- Real provider acceptance passed again on final commit `bc10880da6`:
local macOS arm64, rebuilt native Runner, `gpt-6.1-sol`, high effort,
per-turn lifecycle, and 2,000 persisted workspaces. Both turns
succeeded. Persisted call inputs and results prove that the second page
uses the first result’s cursor, both calls succeed, their IDs do not
overlap, and the encoded results stay within 128 KiB. The second turn
kept the provider conversation and file. Both task locks were clear
after completion, and no recovered execution failure was recorded.
Duration: 166.92 seconds.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` stopped in the chat shard: 330 tests passed
and one Slack registration test failed with `socket hang up`. That exact
test passed in isolation without changes, and the final-head CI chat
shards passed. A broader local managed-Slack follow-up produced no
result after about eight minutes and was interrupted; it is not counted
as a pass. The original full-suite failure remains recorded.
- The first CI head failed native tool-schema compilation because strict
validators did not recognize `format: uuid`. The revised descriptor uses
a UUID pattern. The previously failing coordinator, native
vertical-slice, authority, and history suites now pass locally. The
stronger live cursor-receipt acceptance check passed. Final-head CI
completed on `bc10880da6`: 57 checks passed and five optional checks
were skipped, with no failures or pending checks. Greptile reviewed that
commit at 5/5; both prior findings are resolved.
- Dependency cost: paged discovery runs the existing visibility-scoped
summary query with an ID cursor and at most 101 returned rows. It adds
no count query, filesystem scan, provider call, or background worker.

## Risks

- Native `list_workspaces` now returns a page object instead of an
array. Individual summaries can be explicit previews when a single
record exceeds the byte budget. Its advertised descriptor and generated
contracts change together. Agents must follow `nextCursor` until null
for a complete inventory.
- Each page rechecks current visibility. Concurrent insertions,
deletions, or access changes require a fresh scan when a complete
point-in-time inventory is needed.
- No migration or journal-limit change. An existing cleanup quarantine
still requires normal recovery after deployment; this PR does not bypass
it.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, shell tools, code editing,
and test execution. The exact served model revision and context window
are not exposed in this session.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip a6f786479e Runner: verify provider eligibility before parking (#19133)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip coordinates AI agents and their execution.
> - Hosted Runners can retain a provider process between turns.
> - The host must prove that process is idle before allowing its VM to
sleep.
> - A completed turn alone does not rule out an active goal or trailing
provider work.
> - This PR adds a conservative park-readiness hook for the existing
Codex process.
> - The later host-control consumer can use this proof with its identity
and sequence fences.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Current behavior**
There is no provider eligibility hook for host parking. The earlier
implementation in #19060 also missed an active goal that arrived during
its tail drain.

**Proposed behavior**
Default every executor to ineligible. Permit the surviving native Codex
process only when its completed-turn authority still matches and it has
no live or unsettled work.

**Reason and benefit**
Keep active goals and unresolved provider obligations awake. Review the
provider proof separately from socket handling and the native
park/reclaim loop.

## What Changed

- Add `host_park_ready` with a default false result.
- Refresh the configured credential observer before checking pending
delivery. Refuse parking during credential delivery, without selecting
or restoring a provider.
- Verify the current Codex process and completed-turn identity; reject
startup, active turns/goals/tools, and unsettled event queues.
- Require completion actually observed by that process. Accepted-finish
reconciliation still preserves ordinary result authority without
qualifying a restored process to park.
- Refuse known helper lineage, whose diagnostics do not prove that
helper work has finished.
- Drain bounded trailing output through the existing accounting path.
Retain goal updates and clears in durable state and normal event
delivery, then recheck live goal state.
- Add process tests for normal eligibility and the late-goal race.
Assert that a restored process is ineligible until it completes an
authoritative turn in its new generation.

This PR is based on master, which contains the merged Codex (#19132) and
ACPX (#19153) recovery foundations. The private socket codec in #19129
is merged; #19140 consumes this proof in the shared native loop. This PR
does not advertise parking support. A separate ACPX readiness change
must prove its live sidecar/session has no active or unsettled work.
Both Codex App Server and qualified ACPX are required in the remaining
park/reclaim, Core restart, eviction, and live sleep/wake acceptance
phases.

## Verification

- `cargo test --offline --locked --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml -p paperclip-runner-core
--test codex_provider hosted_park` — 5 passed.
- `ordinary_recovery_restores_a_completed_idle_session` passes and
asserts that the genuinely restored provider cannot park before it
completes an authoritative turn in its new generation. The fixture
proves two provider starts and only one admitted turn.
- The initial live-goal recheck mutation failed as expected. Review then
identified that goal changes also needed durable retention. The new
activation and clear cases verify saved goal state, retained events, and
eligibility after delivery.
- Existing goal, active-goal attachment, warm-tail, and late-accounting
process regressions passed after sharing the goal event path.
- The initial late-goal fixture timed out because it omitted
`--durable-turn-ids`, which enables its existing first-turn gate. Added
that fixture switch; both park tests then passed.
- The credential-observation regression fails before the fix and passes
afterward. Three focused credential cases prove durable replay and
acknowledgement, fresh ACPX startup, and readiness without provider
selection. The three provider parking checks also pass after the fix.
- Full regression testing is left to GitHub CI.
- Changed lines scanned for secrets, personal data, and private
deployment references before push.

Current head `28d41b083f58ee93db4305b1217719796bf3171d` adds one scoped
review-fix commit to readiness
`e8ba82374e0f72c82ac3195d4b1b3798c9072bab`, based on master
`3d0d178ff7051aa44e07cd873fd4281357e0d815` without duplicating either
recovery foundation. The PR remains eight parking-specific files. Review
identified quiet helper work and reconstructed accepted-finish authority
that could incorrectly qualify. The provider now records its actually
observed terminal authority separately in memory, and parking refuses
known helper lineage in both the saved state and the live inventory
after draining. No durable field, lifecycle, public API, or ordinary
recovery policy changed. Both process regressions fail when the parking
guards are removed and pass when restored. Seventeen focused checks
pass, including ordinary recovery, helper requests, receipt replay,
credentials, and ACPX ineligibility. Rustfmt, diff and added-line scans
passed.

returned to the expected task URL but missed its heading within the
five-second assertion window; the other 40 cases passed. One targeted
unchanged-head retry (job 127136265280) passed all **41 cases**. No test
timeout or application code changed between attempts, and the first
failure's cause remains unestablished.

The superseded c7 parent failed eight retained-cleanup settlement cases
because prepared restoration started a provider during a drain-only
epoch. The corrected parent preserves ordinary prepared behavior; the
new completed-source path excludes prepared providers. The parent
reports all 19 settlement rows passing. This PR adds no prepared-session
proof or restoration policy.

## Risks

Known helpers remain conservatively ineligible even after their progress
diagnostics: this slice has no authoritative helper-completion ledger.
The eligibility check drains the existing bounded provider tail and can
persist late accounting. That accounting must settle before parking
succeeds. This hook alone does not prove VM suspension or vendor goal
behavior across a process restart. Live sleep/wake qualification remains
a later rollout check.

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`), High reasoning, through Codex with
tool use and code execution.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 377e98f1a2 test(runner): keep the production close budget for recovered prepared-descriptor closes (#19309)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Paperclip Runner closes a native session only after it proves
that the provider drained and the runner suspended
> - The test "runs an environment-prepared descriptor without Core
filesystem preparation (rotated-recovery)" closes recovered transports
with a 5s close grace
> - A 5s grace leaves only 2.5s for the provider drain, and a recovered
successor needs several drain round trips
> - On a loaded CI runner with the debug runnerd, the drain does not
finish in 2.5s, so close correctly fails closed and the test fails
> - This pull request makes those closes use the production close budget
> - The benefit is that the Runner Vitest lane stops failing on
unrelated PRs, and the close assertions stay the same

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No issue exists. The problem, in the bug report format:

**What happened?**

The Runner Vitest lane failed on PR #19265 (run 42075789869, job "Verify
Paperclip Runner (vitest package)"). The change in that PR is not
related to the Runner:

```
FAIL src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts > runs an environment-prepared descriptor without Core filesystem preparation (rotated-recovery)
NativeSessionCloseUnrecoverableError: provider_transport_failed: runner did not durably suspend before checkpoint
 ❯ src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts:2768:21
Serialized Error: { settlement: { runnerSuspended: true, providerDrained: false, suspensionState: null, ... finalProviderState: null } }
```

**Expected behavior**

The test fails only when recovered close behavior is wrong. It does not
fail because the CI machine is slow.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. In the rotated loop of the test, set the close grace to 700ms instead
of 5_000.
2. Run `npx vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts -t
rotated-recovery`.
3. The second (recovered) close fails with the same error and the same
settlement (`runnerSuspended: true`, `providerDrained: false`,
`suspensionState: null`).

Root cause: `runnerCloseDeadlines` keeps half of the grace (max 2.5s)
for suspension. The rest is the preparation budget for the provider
drain. With `closeGraceMs: 5_000`, the drain gets 2.5s. In a local
measurement, the recovered close needed 4 `runner.drain` commands and
about 440ms on an idle machine. Each drain is a full runner round trip,
because a drain receipt is `true` only after the controller ACKs the
prefix that the previous drain moved. On a loaded CI runner with the
debug runnerd binary, those round trips use more than 2.5s. The
transport then fails closed, which is correct product behavior.
Production uses a 10s default grace (7.5s for preparation, with the
drain capped at 5s).

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at cb0b7525e0.

## What Changed

- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts`:
the rotated-recovery, omitted-context, removed-context, and resumed
closes in the environment-prepared descriptor test now use the
production default close budget. Before, they used a 5s override.
- The `timeout-attachment` case keeps its deliberate 500ms budget,
because that case asserts the timeout.
- The test timeout goes from 30s to 60s. Up to three closes now run
under the 10s budget, so a close regression shows its settlement error
and not a bare test timeout.
- No assertion changed. No sleep or retry is added.

## Verification

- Reproduced the CI failure signature locally by shrinking the rotated
close grace to 700ms.
- `npx vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts -t
"environment-prepared descriptor"`: 10 of 10 runs passed (7 of 7 cases
each) with 30 CPU-saturating processes running at the same time on an
18-core machine.
- `npx vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts`: 253 passed.
- Both runs used the debug runnerd from `pnpm run build:rust`, as CI
does.

## Risks

Low risk. The change is limited to a test budget.

- If recovered close really hangs, this test now takes up to about 10s
per close to report it, not 5s. The test timeout is now 60s.
- The production close path does not change.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), run through Claude Code with tool
use and code execution.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 03eb49053f test(runner): bound Codex provider event waits by a hang ceiling, not 5s (#19306)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Rust runner drives provider processes such as Codex, and CI
tests it on Linux, macOS and Windows
> - The "Runner Rust (Windows x64)" job fails at random on pull requests
that do not touch the runner
> - The failures come from Codex provider integration tests that wait
for fake-provider events under a fixed five-second deadline
> - On a loaded Windows runner, process spawn, antivirus scans and
fsyncs of durable state make these exchanges take longer than five
seconds, so the wait stops before the event arrives
> - This pull request keeps each wait on its condition and changes the
deadline to a shared hang ceiling
> - The benefit is that unrelated pull requests do not fail on this job,
and a real hang still fails the test

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
The "Runner Rust (Windows x64)" job failed on pull requests that do not
change the runner. Examples:
- Run 42073331106 (PR #19273) and run 42058757139:
`rejected_declared_completion_stays_failed_when_the_provider_completes`
panicked with `called Option::unwrap() on a None value`. The loop ended
at its 5 s deadline before `session.failed` and `run.terminal` arrived.
- Run 41892735530 (master): the same test failed in the same way.
- Runs 41718881566 and 41670873220:
`durable_descendant_lineage_survives_capacity_and_provider_restoration`
failed with "capacity exhaustion must become a specific durable recovery
reason". Its third phase waited only 5 s. An earlier phase of this test
already had a 30 s deadline with a comment about this contention.

**What did you expect?**
The tests wait until the fake provider produces the event. They fail
only when the provider hangs.

**Steps to reproduce**
Run `cargo test --release --workspace` for the runner on a contended
Windows x64 runner. The suite takes about 380 s there, and some tests
run for more than 60 s. The failures are intermittent.

## What Changed

- `tests/codex_provider.rs`: add `EVENT_WAIT_TIMEOUT` (120 s) and
`event_deadline()`. Replace all 50 fixed 5 s and 30 s wait deadlines
with `event_deadline()`. Each wait already stops when its condition
holds, so passing tests do not get slower.
-
`rejected_declared_completion_stays_failed_when_the_provider_completes`:
assert that the run reached `run.terminal`, and print the observed event
types if it did not. Replace the bare `unwrap()` on `session.failed`
with a message that names the scenario.
- `src/bin/fake-codex-app-server.rs`: the two background gate threads
used 5 s and 10 s bounds. A test releases a gate only after its own
waits succeed, so these bounds had the same problem. They now use one
`TEST_GATE_TIMEOUT` of 120 s.
- No production code changes. The two remaining `from_secs(5)` values
are the unused `max_runtime` in the test config and a Unix-only latency
assertion. Both stay the same.

## Verification

- `cargo test --release -p paperclip-runner-core --test codex_provider
--locked`: 109 passed, 0 failed, 2 ignored.
- I ran the two flaky tests 48 times, with 6 copies in parallel per
round to load the machine. All 48 runs passed.
- `cargo fmt --all --check`: clean.
- `cargo clippy -p paperclip-runner-core --test codex_provider --bin
fake-codex-app-server`: no new warnings in the changed lines. The lib
target already has clippy findings from the local toolchain (Rust 1.97).
They are not in the changed files, and CI does not run clippy.
- I did not reproduce the original failure on macOS. The slow condition
occurs only on the loaded Windows runner. The Windows CI job on this
pull request is the main check.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change affects only tests and the test fixture binary.
- If a test hangs for real, it now fails after 120 s and not after 5 s.
This makes a broken run slower, but the failure message stays the same.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, used through Claude
Code with tool use (shell, file edits, GitHub CLI).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 1eff07f29e feat(task-chat): show Claude subagents as a collapsible tree in the runner turn (#19264)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task chat shows what an agent does in a run. The Paperclip
Runner sends this activity as canonical provider events.
> - Claude runs subagents through its Agent (Task) tool. A run that
delegates showed a confusing burst of unrelated tool calls.
> - The subagent data was already sent, but it was lost: ACPX dropped
`_meta`, the hardened sidecar dropped `rawInput`, and async subagents
report "launched" as the tool result.
> - This pull request maps each Agent call to a canonical `delegation`
event, links each child tool to its subagent, and shows subagents as a
collapsible card or tree.
> - The benefit is that operators can see what each subagent was asked,
what it is doing now, which tools it used, and what it returned.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19252 (the docked plan card used the same canonical-event pattern)
Refs #19259 (ACPX `_meta` passthrough, merged). This PR builds on it.

**What happened?**
When a Claude agent used its Agent tool, the task chat showed one
generic "Task" row and then the subagents' tool calls as flat rows in
the parent turn. The subagent type, prompt, progress and result were not
visible.

**Expected behavior**
Each subagent shows as its own card with its type, description, prompt,
live progress summary, nested tool rows and result. Subagents that start
together show as one tree with status dots.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Assign a Claude (Paperclip Runner, ACPX) agent a task that asks it to
launch three Explore subagents in parallel.
2. Open the task while the run is live.
3. Before this change, the subagents' tool calls appear flat in the
parent turn.

## What Changed

- **claude-agent-acp patch:** Under the isolated runner context, the
patch turns on the SDK option `agentProgressSummaries`. It forwards each
subagent's `task_progress` summary and its terminal state and summary
onto the spawning tool call as `_meta.claudeCode.subagentProgress` and
`subagentState`. Native subagent sessions stay off, because ACPX cannot
follow child ACP sessions.
- **Runner:** The new file `claude-subagent-lineage.ts` tracks each
Agent/Task call across ACP update deltas. It maps the call to
`delegation.started|updated|completed` events and stamps child tools
with `parentItemId`. An async subagent stays running after its "Async
agent launched" result until its own state settles.
- **Sidecar path:** `acpx-runtime-sidecar.ts` reads the lineage before
it drops `_meta` and `rawInput`. Delegations go out as schema-checked
rich events. Child tools carry `parentToolCallId`, which Rust
(`acpx_event_payload.rs`, `provider_events.rs`) maps to `parentItemId`.
- **Contracts:** The provider-event schema adds optional `prompt` and
`result` to delegation children and optional `parentItemId` to tool
executions. The protocol modules are regenerated. ACPX Claude now
advertises the `delegation` event family.
- **UI:** `native-run-events.ts` keeps delegation payloads and the tool
parent link. `buildTurnTimelineRows` groups adjacent delegations into a
new `subagent_group` row, nests child tool rows (plain and
provider-activity shapes), and hides the spawning call's own tool row.
The new `TaskChatSubagentCard.tsx` renders the card and tree. A new size
token caps the result height.
- **Storybook:** The new story `Tasks and conversations/…/Task
chat/Subagents` has 7 states.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run src/cli
src/drivers/acpx src/provider-events.test.ts
src/claude-subagent-lineage.test.ts src/protocol` (2069 passed)
- `cargo test --release --locked -p paperclip-runner-core --lib` in
`packages/paperclip-runner/runner` (488 passed, including the new
parent-link test)
- `node --test test/protocol-contract.test.mjs
test/acpx-sidecar-contract.test.mjs
test/acpx-codex-package-contract.test.mjs
test/acpx-rich-extensions-package-contract.test.mjs` (48 passed)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/task-chat src/components/transcript`, including the new
`subagent-timeline.test.ts`
- `check:protocol-types`, `check:protocol-manifest`,
`check:acpx-profiles` and `pnpm check:token-gates` pass.
- **Live test:** A local test-drive instance ran a Claude Opus 5.5 agent
on the Paperclip Runner (hardened sidecar path). The agent ran real
tasks that launched three parallel Explore subagents. The live view
showed "Running 3 subagents · 2 done" with a progress summary. The
settled view showed "Ran 3 subagents", each with its prompt, nested
tools and its own result text.

## Risks

- `agentProgressSummaries` makes Claude Code generate a short progress
summary for each running subagent about every 30 seconds. This adds a
small model cost to runs that delegate.
- The adapter patch reads `task_notification` and terminal
`task_updated` messages. A future claude-agent-acp version can change
these. The patch hunks then fail to apply, and the dependency bump must
update them.
- If a delegation event is lost, child tools stay at the top level as
before. Nothing is hidden without a matching delegation.
- Codex is not changed. Codex subagents need `multi_agent`, which
Paperclip keeps off on purpose. Changing that is a separate policy
decision.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, file edits, browser automation). It did the investigation,
implementation, tests and live test.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 d361f92071 feat(task-chat): show harness status notices as chips, out of the answer (#19267)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents run through the native runner. The runner turns harness
events from Codex and Claude into canonical provider events, and the
task chat shows them.
> - Harnesses report their own lifecycle: context compaction, retries,
model fallback, and warnings. Paperclip lost or mangled these reports.
> - Claude (claude-agent-acp 0.73) sends compaction, model-fallback and
warning banners as ordinary message text, so "Compacting..." ended up
inside the agent's answer and the issue comment.
> - Codex sends `error` with the text in `error.message` and a
`willRetry` flag. Paperclip read `params.message`, so every Codex error
said "Provider notice", and every retry looked fatal.
> - This pull request keeps these reports out of the answer and shows
them as small status chips between the turn's activity.
> - The benefit is that users can see why an agent paused, retried or
forgot earlier context, and the answer text stays clean.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**
Native runner provider-event mapping (TypeScript driver, ACPX sidecar
and Rust runner-core) and the task chat transcript.

**Problem or motivation**
Claude status banners are mixed into assistant answer text. Codex error
notices lose their message and their retry state. The task chat hid all
of these notices, and settled turns stripped every provider notice.

**Proposed solution**
Classify Claude banners as provider notices at the ACPX boundary. Map
Codex `TurnError` fields and `willRetry` correctly. Render status
notices as inline chips. A retry chip fades after later provider work. A
final error shows the real provider message.

**Alternatives considered**
Patch claude-agent-acp to tag banners in `_meta`. ACPX keeps only
`origin`, `kind` and `source` from `_meta`, and other sessions own the
ACPX `_meta` passthrough work. Banner chunks already have no
`messageId`, and model output always has one, so the classification
needs no adapter patch.

**Roadmap alignment**
This makes existing harness signals visible. It adds no new protocol
schema. It uses the existing `paperclip.provider.notice.v1` `category`
and `details` fields.

## What Changed

- Codex `error` notifications (TypeScript `provider-events.ts` and Rust
`runner-core/src/provider_events.rs`): read `error.message`, map
`willRetry: true` to a recoverable `provider_retry` notice, keep
category `error` for a final error, and add the `CodexErrorInfo` kind,
HTTP status, and the "Reconnecting... n/m" attempt count as notice
details. Retries in one turn share one notice id.
- New `claude-status-banners.ts`: classifies the claude-agent-acp
compaction, model-fallback and SDK informational banners. A chunk must
have no `messageId` and match a known banner exactly.
- ACPX sidecar and the TypeScript ACPX driver emit these banners as
`provider_notice` events instead of answer text. Compaction start and
end share one notice key and carry a `Phase` detail.
- Rust runner-core accepts an optional `noticeKey` and bounded `details`
on ACPX `provider_notice` events.
- UI: new `TaskChatStatusNotice` chip and
`status-notice-presentation.ts`. Status notices become top-level
timeline rows, render as chips wherever protocol cards render, and stay
visible in settled (historical) turns. Generic warnings stay hidden as
before.
- New tokens `--tc-status-notice-warning-*` in `ui/src/index.css`.
- Storybook story `Tasks and conversations/.../Task chat/Status notices`
with eight states.
- `doc/run-log-events.md`: describes the status notice categories.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/task-chat src/components/transcript`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/provider-events.test.ts
src/drivers/acpx/claude-status-banners.test.ts
src/drivers/acpx/codex-acpx-driver.test.ts
src/cli/acpx-runtime-sidecar.test.ts`
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib provider_events` and
`--test acpx_provider_events`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- Storybook: open
`product-task-chat-status-notices--all-states-gallery`.
- Live test-drive on an isolated worktree instance:
- Codex (gpt-5.6-sol, app-server 0.160): a local pass-through proxy in
front of the real OpenAI API cut the first two response streams. Codex
ran its own retries. The chat showed an amber "Reconnecting" chip live,
then "Recovered after retry" once work continued. With every stream cut,
Codex made five retries and then sent a final error with the real
message.
- Claude (claude-haiku-5-5 through claude-agent-acp 0.73): a long
reading task triggered Claude's own auto-compaction twice. The chat
showed "Compacting context…" live and "Context compacted" afterwards.
The final answer and the issue comment contained no compaction text.
- Not verified live: model fallback and Claude informational banners.
They need a model refusal or a blocking hook. Unit tests cover them.

## Risks

- Low to medium. A Claude model message that is exactly a banner text
and has no `messageId` would become a notice. Model output from
claude-agent-acp always carries a `messageId`.
- Older stored Codex `error` notices (category `error`, not recoverable)
now render as a red row instead of being hidden.
- Claude retries (`api_retry`) are still not visible. claude-agent-acp
reports them only to clients that negotiate session-failure records, and
ACPX drops `_meta`. This is a follow-up that depends on the ACPX `_meta`
passthrough work.
- On a failed Codex turn the thread collapses to a summary, so the red
row does not show there. The existing task banner already shows the real
provider message.
- Some local suites failed on this machine. They do not touch the
changed code: Cursor Cloud staging-custody tests, the ACPX Claude
dependency-graph pin test (a timeout), and the Rust `task_memory`
monitor tests. CI is the reference for these.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 cb0b7525e0 feat(task-chat): warn at the top of a run when an MCP server failed to start (#19289)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Each agent run shows its activity in the task chat. The Paperclip
runner turns harness events into that activity.
> - Codex reports `mcpServer/startupStatus/updated` when an MCP server
fails to start. The runner dropped this event at the notification
allowlist and in the Rust normalizer.
> - When an MCP server fails, the agent runs without its tools. The
agent then says "I could not reach the server", and the user cannot see
why.
> - This pull request maps a failed MCP start to a user-facing provider
notice and shows it as one warning line at the top of the run.
> - The benefit is that the cause of a "cannot reach my tools" answer is
visible next to that answer.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19252 (the plan card, which set the pattern for promoting a
dropped harness signal to a dedicated task-chat surface).

**Problem description**
Codex sends `mcpServer/startupStatus/updated` (`name`, `status`,
`error`, `failureReason`) during `thread/start`. The TypeScript
allowlist (`codex-thread-normalization.ts`) and the Rust normalizer
(`runner-core/src/provider_events.rs`) both dropped it. A run with a
broken MCP server showed no sign of the failure. The agent only said
that it could not reach the tools.

**Proposed solution**
Map `status: "failed"` to `provider.notice.recorded` with `category:
"mcp_server_startup_failed"`, `severity: "warning"`, `scope: "session"`
and `userActionable: true`. Show these notices as one run-health line
under the runner header: "github MCP server failed to start: No such
file or directory (os error 2)".

**Alternatives considered**
An inline notice row in the timeline. It scrolls away and sits among
tool rows. A run-level line next to the header is easier to connect to
the agent's answer.

## What Changed

- Runner (Rust, production Codex path): `normalize_codex_notification`
maps a failed `mcpServer/startupStatus/updated` to a
`provider.notice.recorded` notice. `starting`, `ready` and `cancelled`
stay out of the transcript. The new helper removes the Codex wrapper
text ("MCP client for \`x\` failed to start: MCP startup failed:") so
that the line shows the real reason. `reauthenticationRequired` becomes
"needs re-authentication".
- Runner (TypeScript): the same mapping in
`canonicalProviderEventsFromCodex`, and the method is added to
`isSupportedCodexNotificationMethod`.
- Server: the `view=conversation` run-event query keeps
`mcp_server_startup_failed` notices. A settled run can then still show
the warning. Other notices stay out of that view.
- UI: new `TaskChatRunHealthBanner`. `partitionRunHealthItems` takes MCP
failures out of the run's items, with one line per server where the
latest report wins. `TaskChatRunnerTurn` (live runs) and `TaskChatTurn`
(settled, historical and merged turns) show it under the header.
`coalesceSettledTurns` merges the failures when it merges turns.
- Storybook: `Tasks and conversations/…/Task chat/Run health` shows one
failure, several failures, a finished run and a healthy run, all through
the production runner turn.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/provider-events.test.ts src/drivers/codex src/protocol`: 508 tests
pass.
- `cargo test --release -p paperclip-runner-core --lib --
provider_events`: 20 tests pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/task-chat src/components/transcript
src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx`: 1340 tests pass, including the
new `TaskChatRunHealthBanner.test.tsx` (persisted event to rendered
banner, deduplication, settled historical turn, merged turns).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/task-cold-open.test.ts`: the conversation view keeps the
MCP notice and still excludes other notices.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` is clean. `node
scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs` passes.
- Live test on a local instance with Codex 0.160: a Codex agent with a
preconfigured Codex home whose `config.toml` has `[mcp_servers.github]
command = "github-mcp-server-not-installed"`. Codex reported the failure
during `thread/start`. The persisted event had the summary "github MCP
server failed to start: No such file or directory (os error 2)". The
banner showed while the run was live. It also showed on the settled turn
after "More run output", above the agent's answer that it could not
reach the GitHub MCP server.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change adds one notice category. It does not change how
existing notices map or render.
- A settled run whose transcript is deferred on a cold open (a
successful run with a posted agent comment) shows the warning only after
"More run output". This is the same as all other run activity under the
current compact history.
- Claude does not report MCP startup failures over ACP.
`claude-agent-acp` reads MCP status only for OAuth. This change is
therefore Codex-only.
- Provisional task titles from provider session names are not part of
this change. Codex app-server does not generate thread names (only its
TUI does). Claude generates its title after the turn ends, and ACPX
drops the title text.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c6996799c4 feat(task-chat): show an inline diff for every file edit (#19269)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The task chat shows what an agent did during a run, including each
tool call
> - Codex and Claude both report the patch for every file edit, but
Paperclip dropped it. Claude's ACP `diff` content was never read. The
Codex `fileChange` item became a generic item with no patch. Codex
`turn/diff/updated` had no native-runner mapping
> - A reviewer could not see what an agent changed without opening the
workspace
> - This pull request carries a bounded patch on each edit call and
shows it in the edit row. Each turn that changed files ends with a
"Changed in this turn" card
> - The benefit is that a reviewer can check every change in the
conversation, with the same view for Codex and Claude

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19252 (precedent: canonical `plan.updated` events as a docked plan
card).

**Subsystem affected**
Paperclip runner (Rust and TypeScript canonical event mapping), PRP
provider-event schema, and the task-chat UI.

**Problem or motivation**
Edit rows say "Edited a file" with no content. Claude Edit/Write `diff`
content is lost after the ACPX sidecar. The Codex native runner drops
`fileChange.changes` and `turn/diff/updated`. The existing
workspace-changes card showed a raw text patch in a dialog, and only on
the in-process Codex path.

**Proposed solution**
Add an optional, bounded `fileChanges` list to
`paperclip.tool.execution.v1`. Fill it from Codex `fileChange` items and
Claude ACP `diff` content. Map Codex `turn/diff/updated` to
`workspace.change.updated` on the native runner. In the UI, show `+N −M`
on each edit row, open a compact colored diff, and end the turn with the
change set.

**Alternatives considered**
A runner-side git diff at turn end. It needs workspace access and extra
cost on every turn. The harness patches are already available. For
Claude, the UI builds the turn card from the edit rows instead of new
per-turn runner state.

## What Changed

- Protocol: optional `fileChanges[]` on `toolExecution` in
`provider-event.schema.json`, with the regenerated schema bundle,
validators and manifest. Paths are workspace-relative. A patch is at
most 32 KiB, and a call has at most 32 files.
- Runner (Rust): new `tool_file_changes.rs`. A Codex `fileChange` item
now also emits `tool.execution.*` with `fileChanges`; the native item
event stays for the recovery and progress projections.
`turn/diff/updated` becomes `workspace.change.updated`.
`normalize_acpx_tool_call` re-validates the sidecar's `fileChanges`.
`normalize_codex_notification_in` resolves absolute paths against the
session cwd.
- Runner (Rust): `has_bounded_rich_display_shape` accepts schema-valid
workspace diffs. Without this change, durable storage cut each patch
string to a 4 KiB preview. Patches use the uncapped secret redactor.
- Runner (TS): new `tool-file-changes.ts`. The ACPX sidecar computes
`fileChanges` from ACP `diff` content with the working directory. The
in-process Codex and ACPX mappers do the same, with an optional
`context` argument.
- UI: new `TaskChatDiffView` (colored rows, hunk labels, a height cap,
"Show N more lines"). Edit rows show counts and the diff. Collapsed
activity groups show edit totals. The workspace card is now "Changed in
this turn", with in-place per-file diffs, and it sits at the end of the
turn. When a harness sends no whole-turn diff (Claude), the card is
built from the edit rows. A change set is marked complete when its run
ends.
- UI: `native-run-events.ts` maps `workspace.change.updated` and
attaches each edit's latest patch to its row (the `diff` transcript
entries now carry `toolUseId`).
- Design tokens: `--diff-add-*`, `--diff-remove-*` and
`--sz-edit-diff-max-h` come from the status icon hues.
- Storybook: `Tasks/Edit diffs` story. Docs: `doc/run-log-events.md`.

## Verification

- Real runs on a local instance (`test-drive`, native runner):
- Codex (`gpt-5.6-sol`): the "Applied a patch" rows show `+9` and `+35
−2` with their diffs. The turn ends with "Changed in this turn", 2
files, `+42`, from `turn/diff/updated`.
- Claude (`claude-opus-5-5` via ACPX): the Write and Edit rows show
`+5`, `+14 −1` and `+9` with correct hunks. The turn card is built from
the edit rows.
- Codex model note: with `gpt-5.4`, pinned Codex 0.160 reports "model
metadata not found". The model then wrote files through the shell, so no
`fileChange` items occurred.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: all gates clean.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/task-chat src/components/transcript src/adapters`: 1073
passed.
- `packages/paperclip-runner`: `vitest run src/provider-events.test.ts
src/tool-file-changes.test.ts src/cli/acpx-runtime-sidecar.test.ts`
passed. `check:protocol-types` and `check:protocol-manifest` match.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib provider_events
tool_file_changes`: passed. `cargo fmt --check`: clean.
- Storybook: open `Tasks and conversations/…/Tasks/Edit diffs`.

## Risks

- Larger payloads: an edit call can carry up to 96 KiB of patch in Rust,
and the sidecar keeps 48 KiB under its 128 KiB frame. Above the budget,
a file keeps its counts and drops its patch (`diffTruncated`).
- Redaction: each patch goes through the shared secret redactor. Before
this change, a 4 KiB preview cap also applied.
- Claude turn card: it joins each edit's patch in order. It is not a net
diff. For a file the turn created, the counts are net and exact. For an
existing file, the counts are summed over its edits.
- The workspace card moves to the end of the turn. One adapter test
changed to match.
- Local only: four Linux cgroup `task_memory` Rust tests fail on macOS.
They do not touch these modules.

## Model Used

Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), via Claude Code with tool use
(shell, browser and file editing) and a long context window.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 29afc633f6 feat(runner): forward ACP _meta from ACPX as a bounded copy (#19259)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner runs Claude through ACPX and maps ACP updates into
canonical run events.
> - Claude sends useful data in the ACP `_meta` field: the real tool
name, the parent tool of a subagent call, the terminal exit code, and
the rate-limit state.
> - ACPX 0.13.1 drops all `_meta` before the runner sees it.
> - Three planned features need this data: richer tool rows, a
rate-limit gauge, and a subagent tree.
> - This pull request forwards `_meta` from ACPX and bounds it once in
the runner.
> - The benefit is that each feature can read the data from one safe,
shared place.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**
ACPX keeps only the title, status, kind, locations, raw input, raw
output and content of an ACP tool update. It drops `_meta`. Claude's
tool name, `parentToolUseId`, `terminal_exit` and `_claude/rateLimit`
never reach the runner.

**Proposed solution**
Forward `_meta` from ACPX on tool and status events. Copy it into a
bounded, JSON-safe object in the runner before any mapper reads it.

**Alternatives considered**
Read the full ACP notification through `onSessionNotification` and join
it to runtime events by tool call ID. That needs a side table and
depends on callback order. Forwarding on the event is simpler and keeps
the data with the event.

## What Changed

- `patches/acpx@0.13.1.patch`: ACPX now sets `_meta` on `tool_call`
events and on status events (`usage_update`, `current_mode_update`,
`config_option_update`, `session_info_update`). The type declarations
document the field as unvalidated producer data.
- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/provider-events.ts`: new
`boundedAcpMeta()`. `createAcpxToolEventNormalizer` applies it to every
runtime event. Limits: depth 6, 64 entries per object or array, 4 KB per
string, about 16 KB in total. It drops `__proto__`, `constructor` and
`prototype` keys, functions and non-finite numbers.
- The hardened ACPX sidecar path keeps its explicit field allowlist. It
does not forward `_meta` yet. A feature that needs a field there must
add it to that allowlist.
- Tests for the passthrough and for each bound.

## Verification

- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/provider-events.test.ts`
- The canonical mappers do not read `_meta` yet, so run events do not
change. Follow-up pull requests use it.

## Risks

- Low risk. The new field is additive and the mappers ignore it today.
- The lockfile patch hash for `acpx@0.13.1` changes. A fresh `pnpm
install` applies the new patch.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool use and
code execution.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 d8c47159d4 feat(task-chat): show Codex reasoning summaries as headline bullets (#19271)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The task chat shows what an agent does while it runs, including a
"Thinking" row for provider reasoning
> - Real Codex runs produced reasoning items with no text
> - So the Thinking row only says "Thinking" and never tells the user
what the agent works on
> - This pull request asks Codex for its own reasoning summaries, keeps
every summary part, and shows the parts as bullets
> - The benefit is that a user can see what the agent is thinking about,
and a collapsed live run shows the newest headline as its status line

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19252 (same pattern: show a harness signal that Paperclip already
receives)

**Subsystem affected**
Native runner (Rust runnerd Codex provider and event normalization, JS
Codex driver) and the task chat UI (Thinking row and activity rows).

**Problem or motivation**
Codex 0.160 resolves an unset reasoning summary from the model, and
current models resolve it to `"none"`. The rollout of a real gpt-5.6-sol
run records `turn_context.summary = "none"`, and all of its reasoning
items have `summary: []`. A local A/B with `codex exec` proved the
cause: `model_reasoning_summary=none` gives no reasoning text, and
`auto` gives headlines. Also, runnerd dropped `item/reasoning/*`
notifications and ignored the reasoning item's `summary[]`.

**Proposed solution**
Send `summary: "auto"` on Codex `turn/start`. Map
`item/reasoning/summaryTextDelta` and `summaryPartAdded` to reasoning
deltas, with a blank line before each later part. Use the joined
`summary[]` as the completed item text. In the UI, split the provider
text at headline lines and show one bullet per part.

**Alternatives considered**
Use `summary: "detailed"`. That gives longer text, but `auto` lets the
provider choose the best summarizer.

**Roadmap alignment**
This makes existing provider signals visible. It adds no new protocol
event type or data model.

**Additional context**
Research note: overlooked harness signals, item 2. Claude is out of
scope here. A live Claude run showed thinking blocks with signatures and
empty text: current models default `thinking.display` to `"omitted"`.
Claude Code ignores the `showThinkingSummaries` setting in SDK mode, and
ACPX does not forward a `thinking` option, so the fix needs a
claude-agent-acp patch hunk. That patch is also changed by #19264, so
the Claude change follows after #19264 merges. The UI in this PR already
shows prose-only (Claude) summaries.

## What Changed

- Rust runnerd (`codex_provider.rs`): send `summary: "auto"` on every
Codex `turn/start`.
- Rust runnerd (`provider_events.rs`): map
`item/reasoning/summaryTextDelta` and later `summaryPartAdded` to
`item.delta` with `kind: "reasoning"` and `channel: "summary"`. Use the
joined `summary[]` as a completed reasoning item's text.
- JS Codex driver: send `summary: "auto"` on direct app-server
transports, map `summaryPartAdded`, and read `summary[]` in `itemText`.
- UI: new `reasoning-summary.ts` splits provider text into headline
sections, and `TaskChatReasoningSummary` shows one bullet per part. The
Thinking row and the activity row use the newest headline as their
one-line status. Prose-only summaries (Claude) stay as prose.
- Storybook: new "Task chat reasoning summaries" story with live,
expanded, finished and Claude states.
- Tests: Rust normalizer test, JS driver test, and splitter unit tests.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core` (provider events and the shared
identity golden).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/drivers/codex`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/task-chat src/components/transcript`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- Live test on a local worktree instance with a real Codex agent
(gpt-5.6-sol). The Codex rollout now records `summary: "auto"`. Run
events contain `**Assessing transaction boundary issues**`, a part
break, and `**Planning atomic claim fix and verification**`. The task
chat shows "Thought · Planning atomic claim fix and verification", and
the expanded row lists both headlines as bullets.
- Storybook: open "Tasks and conversations / Task creation and lifecycle
/ Tasks / Task chat reasoning summaries".
- Claude was not changed. A live Claude run confirmed the cause for the
follow-up (empty, signed thinking blocks).

## Risks

- Codex now writes reasoning summaries, which adds a small number of
output tokens per turn. This is the same cost as Codex CLI with its
normal default.
- The UI treats a line that is only bold text as a headline. A prose
line that is only bold text also starts a new bullet. This is display
only.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 036b1860c3 fix(runner): bind Cursor sidecars to the runner package, not the workspace root (#19255)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner starts ACPX providers through a sidecar. runnerd
tells the sidecar which package owns the provider assets.
> - Cursor, Copilot, Pi, Kimi and Antigravity use pinned native
closures. Their asset guard requires the bound manifest to be the
`package.json` directly inside the bound root.
> - In a local source build, runnerd bound Cursor to the pnpm workspace
root, with the runner manifest one level down. The guard threw before it
checked the Cursor closure.
> - Every Cursor run on a local source instance failed with
`admission_installation`. The sidecar redacts the message, so the cause
was not visible.
> - This pull request gives Cursor the same runner-package authority as
the other native-asset providers.
> - The benefit is that Cursor runs start on local source builds.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A `paperclip_runner` agent with `provider: "acpx"` and `acpxAgent:
"cursor"` failed at every start on a local macOS worktree instance. The
run log showed `ACPX sidecar command session.open was rejected
(retryable=false, classification=admission_installation)`.

**Expected behavior**
The run starts, because the pinned Cursor runtime cache matches
`cursor-distributions.json`.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run `pnpm dev` from a source checkout, with the Cursor runtime set up
in `~/.paperclip/runtimes/cursor`.
2. Create a native runner agent with `acpxAgent: "cursor"` and a bound
`CURSOR_AUTH_TOKEN`.
3. Start a run. It fails at `session.open`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at 26391707fb.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Cursor (native runner, ACPX).

**Relevant logs or output**
`failed to start ACPX provider: ACPX sidecar command session.open was
rejected (retryable=false, classification=admission_installation)`

**Additional context**
`acpxProviderPackageAuthority` sent Cursor through the JS-provider
branch. That branch binds `PAPERCLIP_ACPX_PROVIDER_PACKAGE_ROOT` to the
workspace dependency root. `resolveRunnerProviderAssetsRoot` then threw
`Runner provider manifest is outside its package root`. With the same
environment, a direct call to the built verifier reproduces that error.

## What Changed

- Add one `NATIVE_ASSET_ACPX_AGENTS` set (`cursor`, `copilot`, `pi`,
`kimi`, `antigravity`) in `runnerd-codex-transport.ts`.
- The runner-package branch uses the set. This adds Cursor.
- The vendored source-server branch uses the same set. This adds Cursor,
Copilot and Kimi, which had the same gap there.
- Tests cover Cursor and Kimi in the source, scoped-npm and deployment
layouts. Tests also cover all five providers in the vendored
source-server layout.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts -t "package
authority|vendored source server"` in `packages/paperclip-runner`: 18
pass.
- Red check: on the old code, four new Cursor cases fail.
- Full `runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts`: the same 56 tests fail before
and after this change. They fail because the fresh worktree has no built
`runner/target/debug/paperclip-runnerd`. The change adds no new
failures.
- Live: on a worktree instance with this fix, a Cursor run
(`gpt-5.6-luna`) started and succeeded. It sent five `plan.updated`
events, and the task chat showed the plan card.
- Manual: I drove the built `acpx-runtime-sidecar.cjs` with `initialize`
and `session.open` for Cursor. With the runner-package binding,
installation admission passes. With the workspace-root binding, the
verifier throws the manifest error.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change only selects the package root for providers whose
asset resolver already rejected the workspace root. Those providers
never read JS dependencies from the bound root.
- Published npm server bundles and provider packs are unchanged. Their
sidecar is not inside the owner package, or they already bind the server
package.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 3d0d178ff7 Reconcile qualified ACPX predecessors through ordinary recovery (#19153)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip runs agent work through a controller and a Runner.
> - A completed provider session can outlive an abrupt Runner exit.
> - The next owner must reconcile the retained source before it attaches
a new run.
> - The ordinary recovery foundation in #19132 first supports Codex App
Server.
> - Qualified ACPX providers need their own saved and live consistency
checks.
> - This pull request adds those checks and a separate provider
attestation.
> - The benefit is session continuity through existing recovery and
attachment.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Builds on #19132, which has merged. This PR targets `master` and
contains only the ACPX changes.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Recovery of a completed ACPX session after the Runner and provider stop.

**Current behavior**

Ordinary ACPX recovery and attachment preserve a qualified session. A
completed predecessor also needs trusted admission by its new owner
before restoration. Codex checks cannot attest ACPX state.

**Proposed behavior**

Reuse ordinary exact-source recovery. Compare live restored state with
saved dormant state when no uncertain effect explains new work. Require
the selected driver's separate ACPX prelaunch attestation. Settle
retained events before authenticated target attachment.

## What Changed

- Preserve baseline prepared cleanup and ordinary continuation. New
predecessor admission excludes prepared provider state; snapshots and
cleanup do not restart it.
- Observe existing recovery command facts. Keep ordinary active same-run
behavior and existing profile, workspace, model, permission, session and
catalog checks.
- Verify the restored qualified session's identity, turn, goal and
outstanding requests when saved state was dormant. Failed verification
reaps the owned process group.
- Validate scoped goal updates arriving during the final status snapshot
after the authoritative goal reply. Active or unknown updates fail
admission; earlier and benign queued events remain available to ordinary
polling.
- Recognize the existing inactive `limited`, `usage_limited` and
`budget_limited` goal statuses, so an unexpected active goal after
restore cannot bypass live verification. Treat malformed nested
working-state metadata as unproven while keeping missing-field
compatibility.
- Keep existing ordinary recovery of qualified session-open and
suspended ACPX sessions. The new integrity check does not expand
prepared restoration.
- Advertise `acpxRecoveryIntegrityVersion: 1`, separate from Codex
integrity. No native source mode or CLI remains.
- Require `acpxSourceRecoveryVersion: 1` from the selected trusted
execution driver for a stopped predecessor. Codex capability alone
cannot grant it.
- Reuse dynamic authenticated owner admission, retained source
accounting, and existing ordinary ACPX attachment.

## Verification

Current head `b294d8ae88d0` is one commit on `master` at `e80d745060fd`,
the merge of #19132. The ten-file diff is byte-for-byte identical to the
reviewed ACPX diff against its former base. The guide shows where
`paperclip-runnerd --build-metadata` emits
`acpxRecoveryIntegrityVersion: 1` and how host admission uses a separate
capability. [ACPX recovery
guide](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/b294d8ae88d019ef02a942e240bc5c14287239e0/packages/paperclip-runner/runner/DURABLE_TRANSPORT.md#recovering-acpx-between-turns)

The rebased head passed all 14 ACPX process cases, three native snapshot
checks, Runner typecheck and the binary metadata check locally. GitHub
CI, Docker and Windows passed on their first attempts. Standard Greptile
review 12 scored the rebased commit 5/5 with zero unresolved threads.

Paid review 9 scores this exact head 5/5 with no unresolved findings

and [Docker Runner
41995103366](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41995103366)
passed on this exact head.

The initial main attempt lost self-hosted runners: the Runner package
log records a shutdown signal, and the other affected jobs report lost
communication or cancellation. Only unsuccessful jobs were retried;
their successful retry and aggregate gate are green. No source,
assertion or timeout change was made for this interruption.

- Combined `runnerd-acpx-source-reconciliation.test.ts` and
`runnerd-source-reconciliation.test.ts`: 25 real native/fake-provider
process cases passed. ACPX contributes 14 cases, including the
final-snapshot goal race, process-group cleanup, same-PID adoption,
exact provider identities, retained accounting, limited/paused goals and
ordinary active same-run recovery.
- The maintained fake sidecar emits a real `runtime.goal` frame between
the dormant goal reply and final snapshot response. Before the fix,
recovery succeeded. Afterward it refuses admission, reaps the owned
sidecar/provider group, and records only the original provider turn.
- Three native wire tests passed. They cover active updates with
low/equal/missing revisions, foreign run/session identity, and unchanged
ordered delivery of earlier history plus benign new events. The queue is
inspected without consuming frames.
- Both parent Codex final-read tests passed in the combined checkout:
active-goal refusal/reap and safe paused-goal delivery.
- The real native backend completes A, settles its journals, kills
Runner and provider, recovers the same ACPX session, adopts the
replacement Runner after controller restart, attaches B and completes a
second turn, then uses ordinary warm attachment for C and completes a
third successful turn. Record, backend and agent session identities
remain exact; ordinary ACPX attachment may restart its sidecar.
- Provider compatibility checks also passed while preparing this stack:
30 permission ordering/forwarding cases, 19 factory cases, the native
inactive-goal classification unit, and six native warm/suspend
integration cases.
- Combined offline Runner/fake-provider build, Runner `tsc --noEmit`,
`cargo fmt --all -- --check`, parent-relative `git diff --check`, and
added-line secret/personal-data scan passed.
- Only focused local checks ran. Full suites and platform checks run in
CI.


## Risks

- Fake providers prove protocol behavior, not vendor restore inertness
or all vendor background work. Real provider qualification remains
required.
- The trusted process owner must reject unsafe completed predecessors
before launch. Ordinary same-run active-goal recovery remains supported.
- Probes use the existing bounded sidecar budget. A timeout can
terminate the sidecar through existing transport cleanup. Null goal
projections remain supported.
- Ordinary ACPX attachment can restart the sidecar. Record, backend and
agent session identities remain exact; the Runner PID remains the same.
- This draft adds no deployment, release pin change or parking hook.

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`), high reasoning, through Codex with
local code and command tools.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 b0fa2ef9bf feat(task-chat): show web searches, model switches, waits and verification checks as dedicated rows (#19262)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents run through the native runner. The runner turns harness
activity into typed canonical events such as `research.*`,
`model.route.changed`, `wait.*` and the run's own verification checks.
> - The task chat flattened these events into generic tool rows. A web
search showed as "Ran Research eventType: research.started, summary: …".
The run's verification checks were dropped completely.
> - Live tests found a second break: the Rust runner core forwarded
Codex `webSearch` items without their query, action or results. The
canonical `research.*` events therefore had `query: null`.
> - This pull request keeps the full payload for these families (as
#19252 did for plans), adds small dedicated rows, and keeps the
web-search fields through the durable runner.
> - The benefit is that users see what the agent searched for, which
model actually ran, how long a wait lasts, and whether each check
passed, without opening the run log.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19252 (same pattern for the plan card)

**Subsystem affected**
Task chat activity rows (UI), the native run-event transcript mapping,
and the Rust runner core Codex normalizer.

**Problem or motivation**
Provider activity that the runner already maps to canonical events
reaches the task chat as unreadable generic rows. Verification checks
never appear. For Codex, the web-search query and action are lost before
they reach the canonical event.

**Proposed solution**
Keep `research`, `model_identity`, `artifact`, `review` and `wait`
events as `provider_activity` entries with their full payload. Project
the runner's `verification` items as a new `verification` family. Render
dedicated rows: a web search with its quoted query and source-domain
chips, a model switch as `from → to · reason`, a wait with a live
countdown, and green/red check lines. Keep bounded web-search and sleep
fields in the Rust normalizer.

**Alternatives considered**
A separate "Checks" block beside the final answer. We kept the checks in
the activity group, because the group summary already leads with "Check
failed" when a check fails.

## What Changed

- `ui/src/components/transcript/native-run-events.ts`: keep research,
model, artifact, review and wait events as `provider_activity` with the
full payload. Map `item.completed` items of kind `verification` to the
new `verification` family. Context, hook, safety and delegation stay on
the generic path, because other work items own them.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/types.ts`,
`ui/src/components/task-chat/task-chat-model.ts`,
`ui/src/lib/issue-chat-messages.ts`: add the `verification`
provider-activity family.
- `ui/src/components/task-chat/task-chat-activity-presentation.ts`: add
labels: "Searched the web “query”", "Opened a web page host/path",
"Switched models a → b · reason", "Waiting 30s" / "Waited 30s", and
"Check passed" / "Check failed" / "Check not run".
- `ui/src/components/task-chat/TaskChatRunnerActivityGroup.tsx` and
`TaskChatProtocolActivityRow.tsx`: show up to three source-domain chips
under a finished search, a live countdown for a running wait, and a
check line with a tinted icon and its detail.
- `ui/src/components/task-chat/completed-activity-summary.ts`: the group
summary leads with "Check failed" when a check fails, and says "Switched
models" for a reroute.
- `ui/src/components/task-chat/transcript-adapter.ts`: verification
detail keys, and a `startedAt` timestamp that stays across lifecycle
merges (used by the countdown).
-
`packages/paperclip-runner/runner/crates/runner-core/src/provider_events.rs`:
keep bounded `query`, `action` and http(s) `results` for Codex
`webSearch` items, and `durationMs` for `sleep` items. Other item types
do not change.
- `ui/storybook/stories/tasks/task-chat-provider-activity.stories.tsx`:
new story. Its fixtures are persisted run events that go through the
production transcript path.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/transcript src/components/task-chat
src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx src/adapters/paperclip-runner
src/lib`: 275 files and 3669 tests pass.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core`: all tests pass, including the
new `keeps_bounded_web_search_and_sleep_identity`.
- UI typecheck is clean. `pnpm check:token-gates` is clean. `cargo fmt
--check` is clean.
- Storybook: open "Tasks and conversations / … / Task chat / Provider
activity". It shows a settled run, a live search, a live wait countdown
and a narrow layout.
- Live test on a local worktree instance with a real Codex agent
(gpt-5.6-sol, Codex app-server 0.160). The task asked for a web search,
a parser with tests, a pause, and two checks. The task chat showed
"Searched the web “ISO 8601 week date first week Thursday conversion
calendar date”" and two green check rows ("node --test week-date.test.js
· 8 tests passed; 0 failed.", "node --check week-date.js"). The group
summary read "Ran checks". Before the runner fix, the same search had
`query: null`.

Not verified live:
- The source-domain chips. Codex 0.160 sends `results: null`, because it
keeps search results on the server. The chips appear only when a
provider reports sources. Unit tests and the story cover them.
- The wait countdown and the model-switch row. In the live run Codex
paused with a shell `sleep`, not a native `sleep` item, and no reroute
occurred. Unit tests and the story cover both.
- Claude. Its WebSearch and WebFetch calls arrive as generic tool
executions, because ACPX drops the tool metadata. They show as tool
rows, as before. The ACPX `_meta` work is separate.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change only affects how canonical events display. The
generic path stays for the families that this PR does not change.
- The Rust normalizer now persists the web-search query and the source
URLs/titles in the run events. This data was already intended for the
canonical `research.v1` event, and it is bounded (4,000 characters per
text field, 64 results, http(s) URLs only).
- A search that Codex reports with `action: other` and no query shows as
"Searched the web" with no subject.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 b1d00eeca0 fix(evals): derive the controlled Runner eval policy from committed defaults (#19253)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Runner protocol qualification runs real providers against 41 cases
and reports them in TestOps.
> - Controlled mode (#17889) adds a spend cap, private evidence storage,
and cost and trace accounting.
> - Operators must hand-maintain one large JSON variable for each
campaign size, price review, and lockfile change.
> - A one-cell policy blocked the first 41-case run, and its prices
expired after 24 hours.
> - This pull request derives that policy from committed defaults and
the selected cases.
> - The benefit is that a full run needs no policy edit, and all three
safety properties stay.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17889, #19011, #19070.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Controlled Runner protocol campaigns read
`RUNNER_PROTOCOL_EVAL_CONTROLLER_POLICY_JSON`. That variable holds the
cell limit, a price table with a review expiry, a pinned lockfile
digest, and self-hashed bound proofs.

**Current behavior**

A campaign with more cells than `maxCells` fails before provider work.
Expired prices also fail before provider work. Any change to the
lockfile needs a new pin. A one-cell policy made all 41 TestOps cases
fail as infrastructure, so an operator had to edit the variable by hand
before the full run.

**Proposed behavior**

The workflow derives the policy at preparation time. The cell count
comes from the selected catalog. Prices come from a committed table with
a version and a source URL. The controller installs the committed frozen
lockfile. One optional variable, `RUNNER_PROTOCOL_EVAL_MAX_USD`, can
override the committed $400 spend cap.

**Reason and benefit**

Each piece that was hand-maintained duplicated a check that already
exists. The manifest digest binds every allocation. The frozen install
binds dependencies to the reviewed commit. Under model-request
readiness, the self-hashed bounds never changed admission or accounting.

**Breaking changes**

The old variable is no longer read. It can stay set or be deleted.
Retained manifests that include the old proofs still replay.

## What Changed

- Add
`packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/controlled-evals/hosted-defaults.json`.
It holds the spend cap, duration, route, Claude Sonnet 5 prices,
allocation, overhead reservation and trace limits.
- Add `hostedPolicy()` in `hosted.mjs`. It derives `maxCells` from the
selection. It gives each campaign a validity window from preparation to
one hour after its deadline. It applies the optional spend cap override.
- Remove `capacityBound` and the policy self-hash from hosted
preparation. `manifest.mjs` needs model `provisionalBound` only when
readiness is not `model_requests`.
- Workflow: stop reading the policy variable. The controller build
installs the committed `pnpm-lock.yaml` with `--frozen-lockfile` and
fails on any lockfile drift. Preparation checks that the runtime receipt
lockfile digest equals the committed lockfile. The catalog limit is now
1 to 512 selected cells.
- Keep everything else the same: the spend-cap check before provider
work, private S3 retention of the manifest and derived
`hosted-policy.json`, receipts, tracing, first-attempt and zero-retry
gates, and paid-environment approvals.
- Update `hosted.test.mjs`, `portable.test.mjs`,
`runner-protocol-eval-workflow-security.test.mjs`, and
`docs/runner-protocol-live-evals.md`.

## Verification

- `node --test scripts/controlled-evals/hosted.test.mjs`: 8 pass. The
new tests show that `maxCells` equals the selection and that the
validity window covers the deadline with no committed expiry. They also
show that the spend cap override applies. With the committed defaults,
41 cells validate with $339 reserved, and 49 cells fail on the $400
budget.
- Negative controls still fail: drift in selection, source or attempt; a
bad lock digest; missing tracing; a duration over 4 hours; a malformed
or too-low spend cap; and zero cells.
- `node --test scripts/runner-protocol-eval-workflow-security.test.mjs`:
20 pass. Controlled admission now passes whether the old variable is
absent, still set, or malformed. A real git checkout with a modified
`pnpm-lock.yaml` fails the controller guard before install.
- `node --test scripts/controlled-evals/controller.test.mjs
scripts/controlled-evals/portable.test.mjs`: all pass.
- `actionlint .github/workflows/runner-protocol-live-evals.yml` and `git
diff --check` pass.
- `tests/runner-e2e/workflow-security.test.ts` has 5 failures that this
change does not cause. They concern `pr-trusted.yml`,
`chat-catalog-testops-case.yml` and `runner-full-stack-e2e.yml`. This PR
does not touch those files.
- I have not run a live controlled campaign on this branch. Controlled
mode runs only from the default branch. The current 41-case run uses
master and the existing variable.

## Risks

- The committed price table has no expiry. A provider price change needs
a reviewed edit to the table. The spend cap still limits the maximum
spend.
- If the committed lockfile does not match the package manifests, the
controller build fails before provider work. CI already requires a
frozen lockfile.
- The spend cap is now $400 by default. It was $339 in the last manual
policy. The cap is a reservation limit, not expected spend. The expected
spend for 41 cases is about $5–20.
- Only ACPX Claude Sonnet 5 has a committed allocation, as in the old
variable. A new controlled model needs a committed price entry and
allocation.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 5f61392cd6 Reconcile dormant Codex predecessors through ordinary recovery (#19132)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native Runner keeps provider and controller journals between
turns.
> - A process can stop after a completed turn while those journals
remain valid.
> - The next owner must reconcile that source before it starts new work.
> - This pull request reuses ordinary recovery and authenticated run
attachment.
> - Existing journals and owner admission keep retained work under its
source.
> - The benefit is conversation recovery without another snapshot format
or native mode.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19057. Built on merged #19129. This is the Codex recovery
transport foundation. Process selection and controller scheduling remain
separate changes.

On normal startup, `paperclip-runnerd` selects durable transport from
its connection arguments. With `--connect-url`, the Runner dials the
controller. With `--listen-address 0.0.0.0 --listen-path
/api/runner/v1/connect/<run-id>` and optional `--listen-port` (default
`43127`), the controller dials the Runner. Both use the same durable
entry point for fresh launches and recovery. The bootstrap ticket
authenticates startup, and `recoveryIntegrityVersion` advertises a
recovery capability.

## What Changed

- Observe the existing recovered command journal before provider
restoration. A saved dormant Codex session with no uncertain effectful
command must still be dormant after restore. Ordinary active same-run
recovery keeps its existing behavior.
- Preserve prepared providers during snapshots, drain and cleanup. New
completed-predecessor admission excludes prepared state. Existing
cleanup and ordinary continuation keep their established behavior.
- Advertise `recoveryIntegrityVersion: 1`. Reject the removed
`--source-reconcile` flag. No separate native source mode or command
whitelist remains.
- Derive controller admission from the authenticated `authorityRunId`
and actual Runner identity. Reuse retain-only settlement through
attachment, authentication and checkpoint persistence. Preserve dynamic
ownership across home configuration and later warm reuse.
- Require the selected execution driver's trusted
`sourceRecoveryVersion: 1` prelaunch attestation for a stopped
predecessor. Binary metadata alone cannot authorize that launch.
Ordinary live adoption keeps its existing path.
- Support fresh authorized preparation from `recoveryLaunch: {
requirements }` without replacing the source's ordinary cache. Require
an authenticated owner throughout that transport's lifetime. Preserve
immutable recorded policy through target preparation and later warm
attachment; compare explicit settings using the provider factory's
effective defaults.
- Complete interrupted attachment at the existing fresh-snapshot
boundary: persist the checkpoint, recheck current ownership, complete
the external recovery callback, then release a real predecessor dispatch
hold. Keep callback/checkpoint failures retryable and cancellation
cleanup retained.
- Preserve completed-session event delivery after target attachment,
exact-thread history projections, source registration identity, exact
command replay and nullable usage redaction.
- Recheck current ownership and the queued run when a slow notification
consumer presents a permission request. Suppress stale presentation
while preserving the committed event and pending request for
source-owner settlement.

Earlier feature head `c09ebb4a2a` includes a process regression for a
goal notification arriving between the restored goal response and the
final thread response. Before the fix the Runner admitted the provider.
The new tests prove that an active goal refuses admission and reaps the
provider, and that a paused goal is delivered normally. Both process
tests and five adjacent ordinary recovery cases pass locally. GitHub CI
passed on the first attempt, including the main, Windows, and Docker

[Greptile

- The final ownership-race checks pass 7 focused cases, including owner
changes during checkpoint persistence, handler publication and saved
receipt recovery.
- Native `codex_provider ordinary_recovery`: 6 passed, including
saved/live mismatch, pending and indeterminate same-run goals, settled
idle restoration and prepared reads/cleanup without a provider restart.
- Native `paperclip-runnerd tests::`: 9 passed, including metadata and
legacy flag rejection.
- Native
`interrupted_result_delivery_reconciles_exact_receipts_without_reexecuting_operations`:
passed.
- Final focused compatibility run: 24 process cases passed, including
all 19 retained-settlement rows with queued snapshots, both home
variants of A-to-B-to-C, ordinary attachment/suspension and
environment-prepared close.
- Existing `recovers an active second warm business run after deleting
its controller context assets`: passed.
- Runner `tsc --noEmit`, `git diff --check`, and added-line secret and
personal-data scans passed.
- Real native processes with the maintained fake Codex provider prove
abrupt A exit, ordinary recover A, same-process attach B, a second
successful turn, ordinary warm attach C and a third successful turn on
the same thread. Both isolated and preconfigured homes pass. The
isolated case also exercises environment option copying.
- Additional process cases cover cacheless preparation, same-PID
controller restart adoption, revoked preparation, retained tool-input
admission, direct attachment, ordinary suspension and unexpected live
goals.
- A prior revised-head CI run exposed 8 retained-cleanup failures caused
by prepared auto-restoration. That new behavior and its journal-binding
code are removed. All 19 affected settlement variants now pass locally.
The same CI run also had one environment-prepared close failure (focused
check passes) and two unchanged Cloud sign-in E2E heading timeouts.
Original logs remain recorded. Full suites and platform checks run in
CI.

Previous head `16772ad3e1abfdae9abcc64f8221fa3644ecee58`: [PR workflow

passed. Greptile review 14 scores this exact head 5/5 with no unresolved
findings. The PR remains draft.

CI evidence: an unchanged `idle-completed-history` local HTTP readiness
case failed in the initial server 11/12 job (127092367616) and its first
targeted retry (127096952128). The isolated case and the full 75-case
file passed locally. The same-head debug retry (127103567635) passed,
and the full workflow is green. Original failures remain recorded. No
fixture diagnostic, assertion change, or timeout change was pushed.

Focused review-fix validation:

- 57 process cases passed across recovery, attachment and all 19
retained-cleanup variants.
- Final staged matrix: 5 cases, each exercising
queued/prepared/activated/completed boundaries, across owned
connect/listen, legacy no-owner connect/listen, and retained
cancellation cleanup.
- Four completion-failure cases pass: synchronous/asynchronous callback
failure, checkpoint failure before any callback, and owner rebind during
persistence before any callback. Fresh-snapshot retry succeeds without
duplicate provider work.
- Saved-policy positive and explicit-conflict negative pass, including
an authenticated compatible target grant and B-to-C continuity with
omitted live settings.
- Factory/Core checks: 34 passed, including effective ACPX defaults,
real policy changes, already-dispatching target work and predecessor
admission.
- Ordinary adoption compatibility checks: 11 passed. Cacheless owner
construction/revocation and policy checks: 6 passed.
- Deferred permission ordering/forwarding: 30 passed. The new
regressions reproduce owner changes before queueing and before
slow-consumer delivery; matching-owner presentation and later
source-owner settlement remain intact.
- Runner `tsc --noEmit`, `git diff --check`, and full-PR added-line
secret/personal-data scan passed at the corrected head.

New tests reproduced both review findings and premature completion on
failed persistence/changed ownership before the fixes. Full suites
remain assigned to CI.

## Risks

- Fake-provider tests do not prove vendor restore inertness or rollout
fsync.
- The process owner must prove stopped ownership, no successor and
strict dormant provider admission before a predecessor launch. This PR
does not select or stop host tasks.
- Ordinary suspended active-goal continuation remains distinct from
completed-predecessor admission.
- Live dormant checks use bounded goal and thread reads. Unsupported or
conflicting responses fail closed.
- Prepared provider state is outside new predecessor admission. Reads
and cleanup retain their baseline behavior. The feature targets
completed between-turn session-open or exited sessions.
- No tenant changes or image publication are included.

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`), high reasoning, through Codex with

DottaandPaperclip 499712c68b fix(runner): restore cold state before inspecting completed handoffs (#19254)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner saves provider sessions and controller state across
turns.
> - A completed warm handoff leaves a receipt in the controller journal.
> - A later cold continuation must restore external Runner state before
it can inspect that receipt.
> - The transport read the missing physical file before it called the
restore hook.
> - This pull request prepares admitted external state before that
inspection for completed handoffs.
> - Live Runner adoption and pending transitions retain their existing
ownership checks. The provider thread can continue after a cold restore.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #19225 and #19157. This fix changes the shared transport read
order. It does not depend on the open source-reconciliation extension in
#19157.

**What happened?**

A cold continuation after a completed warm handoff could fail with
`runner_remote_state_unavailable`. The saved controller journal was
valid. The physical Runner state was absent because its restore hook had
not run yet. A later automatic reattachment could then fail an
allocation identity check.

**Expected behavior**

Restore admitted external state before inspecting a completed handoff.
Retain the original provider thread. Refuse a denied restore or foreign
session without starting provider work.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open a Codex session and complete a warm handoff to a second run.
2. Suspend the session and retain the controller journal and provider
backup.
3. Start a third run with no physical Runner state until the external
preparation hook restores it.
4. Read the retained thread. Before this fix, the read fails before
preparation.

## What Changed

- Prepare external Runner state before inspecting a completed
warm-handoff receipt.
- Keep live Runner adoption, pending attachments, and active warm
transitions on the existing exact-state path.
- Add a real Runner and controlled Codex regression for successful
restore, denied restoration, and a foreign restored session.
- Document the cold-continuation order in the execution contract.

## Verification

- Red: the new real-process regression fails on unpatched source because
resume reads the absent `runner-state.json` before preparation.
- Green: all three new cases pass. The restored thread keeps its
identity. The controlled provider starts one thread and resumes it once.
No turn is replayed.
- Adjacent safety suites: 60 cases passed across warm attachment,
interrupted attachment recovery, suspension, and cold restore. The new
foreign-session case also passes separately.
- Runner TypeScript and generated protocol checks passed.
- Full workspace typecheck and build passed. Runner TypeScript checks
passed again after the live-adoption guard. The full local test command
remains in progress; all required CI test jobs passed on the current
head.
- The first CI run found two live-adoption regressions: an already
completed staged handoff must not restore a backup while its Runner is
live. The guard now excludes live adoption. All six cases across cold
restore and staged handoff pass locally. The original CI failure remains
recorded in run 42047027346.
- Greptile reviewed the corrected head
`f33a041c8902c39ca52b995d53128fc23b0b5499` at 5/5. There are no review
threads or findings. All current-head CI gates passed.
- Live staging verification remains pending normal deployment. No pinned
serving image or bulk migration is part of this PR.

## Risks

The change calls an existing external preparation hook earlier for
completed handoffs. That hook must remain idempotent and must enforce
restore authority. Live adoption, pending attachments, and active
transitions do not gain this earlier call. The negative regressions
assert that a refused restore and a foreign session start no provider
work and do not change the authority journal.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The host does not expose the exact serving model ID or
context-window size.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 8227259d86 feat(task-chat): show the agent's native plan as a task list above the composer (#19252)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents run through the native runner. The runner turns each
harness's native plan into a canonical `plan.updated` event.
> - The task chat did not show these plans. A small "Step 2 / 5" pill
showed the checklist only on hover, and in live runs it received no plan
data.
> - Live tests found three breaks. The UI flattened `plan.updated` into
tool rows. Headless Claude Code hides its task tools from current
models. Codex ships its `update_plan` tool disabled.
> - This pull request fixes the three breaks and replaces the pill with
a docked plan card above the composer.
> - The benefit is that users see what the agent finished, what it does
now, and what comes next. The view is the same for Claude, Codex, Grok
and Copilot.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**
Task chat UI (turn status island), native runner ACPX launch environment
for Claude, and native runner Codex app-server launch arguments.

**Problem or motivation**
Harnesses report native plans, and the runner records them as
`plan.updated` events. Users do not see them. The live transcript
builder converts `plan.updated` into generic tool rows, so the plan
steps are lost. Claude Code in headless mode does not offer
TaskCreate/TaskUpdate for current models, so Claude never makes a plan.
Codex 0.160 has `update_plan` disabled by default, so Codex writes its
checklist into a Paperclip document instead.

**Proposed solution**
Keep the full plan snapshot in the live transcript. Enable the Claude
task tools with `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TODO_TOOLS=1` in the ACPX launch
environment. Enable the Codex plan tool with
`tools.update_plan.enabled=true`. Show the plan as a docked card with
clear rules for when it shows, collapses and hides.

**Alternatives considered**
Show the plan only in the hover popover (the old behavior). Users did
not find it. Write the plan into the issue Plan document. That mixes a
per-turn checklist with the reviewed planning document.

**Roadmap alignment**
This makes existing native runner plan events visible. It adds no new
protocol or data model.

**Additional context**
Grok and Copilot needed no harness change. Cursor could not start in a
local worktree instance (an unrelated startup admission problem), so
this PR does not verify Cursor.

## What Changed

- `ui/src/components/transcript/native-run-events.ts`: keep
`plan.updated` as `provider_activity` with family `plan` and the full
payload, not as a tool row.
- `ui/src/components/task-chat/TaskChatTurnStatusIsland.tsx`: replace
the hover pill with a docked plan card. It shows done, current, upcoming
and blocked steps, a progress bar and file-change totals.
- Visibility rules: hidden with no steps and after the run ends;
collapses when all steps are done; header only for one-step plans and
while a question or approval is pending; window around the current step
for plans over 7 steps; collapsed by default on mobile.
- `ui/src/components/TaskChatThread.tsx`: pass `defaultCollapsed`
(mobile) and `compact` (pending runtime request), and reset the card per
run.
- `ui/src/components/task-chat/transcript-adapter.ts`: keep the `failed`
step status.
- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/drivers/acpx/environment.ts`: set
`CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TODO_TOOLS=1` for Claude launches. A host value
cannot turn it off.
-
`packages/paperclip-runner/src/drivers/codex/codex-security-config.ts`:
add `-c tools.update_plan.enabled=true` before the policy overrides and
the `app-server` subcommand.
- `ui/storybook/stories/tasks/task-chat-agent-plan.stories.tsx`: new
story for each state. It uses the production composer dock, composer and
question takeover.
- Tests for all of the above. `ui/src/index.css` replaces the unused
popover size token with a list max-height token.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/transcript src/components/task-chat
src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx src/adapters/paperclip-runner`
(1345 tests pass).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/drivers/acpx/environment.test.ts src/drivers/codex` (pass).
- UI and runner typecheck are clean. `pnpm check:token-gates` is clean.
- Storybook: open "Tasks and conversations / … / Task chat / Agent
plan". The "All States Gallery" story shows every state. "Live Run
Simulation" animates a run.
- Live test on a local worktree instance with real API keys: a
multi-step task for each harness. The card showed and updated during the
run for Claude (Opus 5.5), Codex (gpt-5.6-sol), Grok (grok-4.7) and
Copilot (gpt-5.6-luna). For Claude the card collapsed when all steps
were done and hid after the run ended.
- Codex probe: `codex exec` with the pinned 0.160 binary reports no
`update_plan` tool by default and reports the tool with `-c
tools.update_plan.enabled=true`.

## Risks

- Claude and Codex now get their plan tools. Agents can spend a few
tokens on plan updates. The tools are standard harness features.
- The Codex flag goes before the web-search and project-instruction
policy overrides, so the existing policy tail check still holds.
- Runs that finish fast show the card only briefly. This is the intended
hide rule.
- Cursor plan display is not verified.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e37ab23dbc fix: hold an agent's new work while its provider usage limit is active (#19246)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Routine-driven agents run on the native Runner through ACP harnesses
such as Claude
> - When the agent's provider account runs out of allowance, every new
wake for that agent fails the same way
> - The ACP harness reported the exhausted allowance as a generic
"terminal limit failure" with an `unknown` category, so Paperclip could
not tell it from a context or turn limit
> - Paperclip recorded a reset time only for the failing run's own
startup retry; other wakes of the same agent kept dispatching, each
spent about two minutes on workspace setup, and then failed
> - This pull request classifies the limit, keeps its reset time, and
holds the agent's new work until that reset
> - The benefit is that a limited agent stops burning runs, shows a
clear "waiting for usage limit reset" state with a time, and resumes its
queued work after the reset

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13148
Refs #13379

**What happened?**
A routine-driven Claude agent on the native Runner failed 29 times in
about 15 hours. 20 runs failed with `native_provider_terminal_failed`
and "ACP agent reported a terminal limit failure." The recorded provider
failure had category `unknown`. 6 runs failed with
`provider_session_open_rejected`. Their `session.open` result is
`command_execution_failed` with classification `provider_rate_limit`,
and the provider failure is HTTP 429 `rate_limit` ("would exceed your
account's rate limit"). The startup retry of one such run recorded a
cooldown until one hour later. A new wake for a different task of the
same agent dispatched 16 minutes later, spent two minutes on workspace
setup, and failed with the same 429. Separately, 4 runs failed with
"Project authentication conflicts with this agent's managed AI
connection". That message did not say which file or setting conflicted.
The same message was also shown when the check could not finish.

**What did you expect?**
A provider usage limit is classified distinctly. Paperclip records the
reset time when the provider reports one. New work for that agent waits
for the reset with a visible reason. Queued work resumes after the
reset, and no doomed run starts. A configuration conflict is reported
only when one is found, and the message names the file to fix.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use a native Runner agent with a Claude ACP harness whose account is
rate limited or out of usage.
2. Let a routine or assignment wake the agent on several tasks.
3. See each run fail with a generic terminal limit failure or a
`session.open` rejection, and see new runs keep starting.

## What Changed

- Runner: The ACPX turn now receives the typed AIR session failure
(`onTerminalSessionFailure`) through the runtime host and the ACPX port.
The sidecar adds the provider's title to the provider failure message.
Only a rate-limit or quota title becomes `rate_limit` or
`quota_exhausted`. Context, turn and configured budget limits stay
`unknown`. The failure details stay private.
- Server: A native `turn.failed` with a `rate_limit` or
`quota_exhausted` provider failure is now `native_provider_usage_limit`,
the same code as the Codex usage-limit terminal.
- Server: `agentProviderLimitCooldown` (extracted from the startup
retry) also reads a reset clock in the provider's wording, such as
"resets 2am (UTC)". The clock parser moved from the recovery service to
`provider-quota-reset.ts` without changes.
- Server: New `heartbeat/provider-limit-wait.ts`. Before any workspace
or provider work, a queued run for an agent with an active provider
limit is cancelled as `provider_limit_wait`. The run records the reset
time, whether the provider reported it, the category and the run that
reported the limit. Paperclip schedules one retry of the same wake at
the reset through the existing AI connection wait lane. That lane does
not consume the failure retry budget. Manual runs, recovering runs,
conversation turns and pool-routed connections are not held.
- Server: The execution projection shows "Waiting for usage limit reset"
with the reset time and the next step.
- Server: Only a found project authentication conflict is a
configuration failure. Its message names the project file and the
settings to remove. A check that cannot finish (timeout or another exit
code) is now an ordinary failure, not a configuration conflict.
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the agent-level limit
wait.

## Verification

Red before the fix, green after:
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-provider-limit-wait.test.ts`: An
automation wake after a 429 `session.open` rejection dispatched the
adapter before the fix. Now the run is cancelled as
`provider_limit_wait` and a scheduled retry exists at the reset. After
the reset passes, the retry is promoted and the work succeeds. A manual
run, a later success, expired evidence and an unclassified terminal
still dispatch.
- `native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts`: "reads the reset clock
from an ACP terminal limit failure's provider wording" (it fell back to
one hour before).
- `native-session-executor.test.ts`: An ACP `turn.failed` with a typed
`quota_exhausted` or `rate_limit` failure is a usage-limit terminal;
`unknown` is not.
- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/drivers/provider-failure.test.ts`: A
typed AIR limit title is kept and classified; context, turn and budget
limits are not; details do not leak.
- `execution-projection.test.ts`, `ai-connections.test.ts`: The wait
label, and conflict versus unfinished check.
- Safety cases: `runtime-host.test.ts` and
`codex-runtime-adapter.test.ts` forward the callback. The existing
startup retry, provider capacity, recovery classification, legacy
reconciliation, retry scheduling and execution configuration suites
pass.

Commands:
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-provider-limit-wait.test.ts
src/__tests__/ai-connections.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/
src/services/recovery/ src/services/execution-projection.test.ts

- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run

src/drivers/acpx/runtime-host.test.ts
src/drivers/acpx/codex-runtime-adapter.test.ts
src/cli/acpx-runtime-sidecar.test.ts`
- `tsc --noEmit` for server and paperclip-runner; the ACPX sidecar and
provider-failure contract checks pass.

I did not run a live provider limit on staging. The live evidence is the
staging run records for the affected agent, which I read only.

## Risks

- The limit evidence is per agent, not per account. If the board changes
the agent's AI connection, automatic wakes can still wait until the old
reset (at most one hour when no reset was reported, and at most one
day). A manual run is not held, and one successful run clears the
evidence.
- A new wake that arrives during a limit is now cancelled and retried at
the reset, instead of failing. The task stays in its status, and the run
shows the reset time.
- The Runner change takes effect when the provider pack is rebuilt and
deployed. Until then, the server still holds new work using the existing
`rate_limit` evidence from `session.open` rejections.
- A turn terminal with a typed rate limit or quota is now
`native_provider_usage_limit` instead of
`native_provider_terminal_failed`. Both are terminal and board-owned.
The recovery text now asks the board to restore provider usage capacity.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 26391707fb fix(runner): never settle an OpenCode reply truncated at the output limit (#19242)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native OpenCode runs turn the provider's last assistant text into
the task's visible reply
> - A model can loop until it reaches the output limit. The provider
then reports `finish: "length"`
> - The driver used that cut-off text as the final answer, and the run
succeeded with a broken reply
> - This pull request treats a response that stopped at the output limit
as incomplete
> - The benefit is that users get the accepted completion summary or one
corrected answer, never a truncated wall of text

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
In a QA staging run, an OpenCode agent on
`openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017` called `paperclip_finish`
correctly. Then it produced about 32,000 output tokens of repeated text
(`E2E_QUIP_QUIP_...`) until the output limit stopped it. The driver
selected this truncated text as the settled final answer. The run
succeeded, and the task reply was wrong.

**Expected behavior**
A response that the provider stopped at the output limit is not a
complete answer. If an accepted completion report exists, its summary is
the reply. If not, the driver asks for one concise final answer. If that
also stops at the limit, the turn fails.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a native OpenCode turn where the model calls `paperclip_finish`.
2. Let the next assistant message run to the output limit (OpenCode
reports `finish: "length"`).
3. Before this change, that message text is emitted as the final
`agentMessage`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at e8163fc860.

## What Changed

- `opencode-server-driver.ts`: record assistant messages that finish
with `length`. Emit a `harness.diagnostic` with code
`opencode_output_limit_reached`.
- Exclude text from these messages from final-answer selection and from
the empty-response check. An accepted completion summary then resolves
the reply (existing behavior when no final text exists).
- Without an accepted result, reuse the existing single correction
prompt. Its first sentence says that the previous response reached the
output limit and was discarded.
- If the correction also fails, the turn fails with
`opencode_output_limit_reached`, not `opencode_empty_response`.
- `native-provider-failure.ts`: add `opencode_output_limit_reached` to
the known OpenCode runner failure codes.
- Tests: new `output-limit.test.ts` (limit then answer, limit twice,
normal), and a driver test for a runaway reply after an accepted
`paperclip_finish`, with a new fake-server scenario.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/drivers/opencode` in `packages/paperclip-runner`:
13 files, 166 tests passed.
- Negative controls: with the old driver, the two new limit cases and
the post-completion case fail.
- `native-provider-failure.test.ts`: 57 tests passed.
- The live QA staging journey is not verified yet. That needs a staging
deploy of this change.

## Risks

- A long but valid answer that ends exactly at the output limit is now
discarded and gets one correction request. The provider itself marks
such an answer as cut off, so it was already incomplete.
- When pre-tool commentary exists and the only post-tool text is
truncated, existing selection rules can pick that commentary. This is
the same as the existing behavior when no post-tool text exists.
- Only the OpenCode driver changes. Other drivers are not affected.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, browser, code editing). Extended reasoning was used.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 03abe1f1a1 fix(native): keep the transport cause on a closed notification stream failure (#19240)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs read provider events from a shared session notification
stream (Codex, OpenCode and ACPX drivers use it)
> - When that stream closes, the driver fails the session with
`notification_transport_failed`
> - The run error was only "Provider notification transport failed
closed." The real cause was only in a diagnostic event
> - In a staging soak, many runs on OpenRouter and Grok agents showed
this error. Operators read it as a provider fault. The diagnostic events
showed a host-side cause: a stopped sandbox plugin worker ended remote
runner supervision
> - This pull request keeps the redacted, bounded cause on the terminal
failure message, and does not name the provider
> - The benefit is that a failed run shows why it failed, so operators
do not chase the wrong provider

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Native runs failed with `native_provider_terminal_failed` and the error
"Provider notification transport failed closed." The run did not show a
cause. All failures in one cluster happened inside one minute, on
several agents and models (OpenRouter DeepSeek, Grok). Each run's
`harness.diagnostic` event had the real cause, for example
`runner_process_termination_unconfirmed: runnerd process supervision
failed: Cannot call "environmentExecute" — worker for "<plugin>" is
stopped`, or `native_adopted_runner_identity_unverifiable: runner
liveness could not be revalidated`. The sandbox duplex transport
reported a `provider_exit` loss about 30 seconds before (the read-only
process probe budget).

**Expected behavior**
The terminal run error keeps the redacted cause. It does not blame the
model provider when the cause is host-side runner supervision.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open a native Codex-protocol session and start a turn.
2. Make the notification stream throw (for example, a supervision
error).
3. Read the `session.failed` and `turn.failed` messages. Before this
change they are the bare generic text.

## What Changed

- `codex-session-notifications.ts`: the `notification_transport_failed`
terminal message is now `Notification transport failed closed: <cause>`.
The cause is redacted first, then whitespace is collapsed and it is
bounded to 1,000 characters. The `Error: ` prefix is removed. The code
and `recoverable: false` do not change.
- New regression in `codex-protocol-integrity.test.ts`: one
`session.failed`, the cause and code are present, the secret is
redacted, the length is bounded, and `turn.failed` has the same message.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: an additive note that this failure can
come from host-side runner supervision, and that the message keeps the
redacted cause.

## Verification

- Red: before the fix, the new test failed: `expected 'Provider
notification transport faile…' to contain
'runner_process_termination_unconfirmed'`.
- Green: `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/drivers/codex/ src/conformance/local-provider-fault-matrix.test.ts
src/native-session-runtime.test.ts` (565 passed).
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/paperclip-runner/tsconfig.json`: no new
errors. The existing `src/eval/workflow-harness.ts` errors come from an
unbuilt workspace package.
- Staging evidence was read with read-only GETs only (run, events).

## Risks

- Low risk. Only the message text changes. The failure code,
`recoverable: false`, and the safe-replacement rules do not change. The
server matches on the code, not on the message.
- This PR does not add a retry in the same turn. Runner termination is
unconfirmed when supervision is lost. A retry or replacement could start
a second executor. The remote process probe already retries read-only
checks inside a 30-second budget. Recovery stays with the existing
ownership and recovery checks.
- The cause text can include a plugin id. It goes through the existing
provider-diagnostic redaction.

DottaandPaperclip 85e4d12856 fix(evals): report controlled protocol cases from safe records (#19070)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Runner protocol qualification records real provider behavior in
TestOps.
> - Controlled attempts keep raw records and accounting in private
storage.
> - A live case passed, but a later public-render command rejected its
controlled context.
> - The missing public report caused the final result to be stored as
broken.
> - This pull request creates the closed TestOps result from existing
sanitized records inside the private report job.
> - The benefit is correct result reporting while the privacy guard
stays effective.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18985 and #19011. The related-PR search found no separate repair
for this failure.

**What happened?**

[The live
canary](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41916513378)
passed all four provider checks. Its controller verified cleanup and
closed its request accounting. The private canonical report recorded one
passed case. The next command used `--public-viewer` while the
controlled manifest remained set. The eval program rejected it with
`controlled campaign evidence must remain private`. The closed exporter
then had no public payload and correctly stored a broken result.

**Expected behavior**

Report the original case grade from sanitized structured records. Keep
raw controlled records private. Keep the original checks, source
bindings, and missing-evidence rules.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run one controlled protocol case with TestOps reporting enabled. Let the
private canonical report finish. The following public-render step fails
before the closed result can read the grade.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed at `4740d251b7032e714d33039ba66a56948238c38f`. This repair is
based on `c6cb7e2a2d42743c0c3c4ead2cbad4a299f9a2e7`.

**Deployment mode**

GitHub-hosted Linux, controlled ACPX Claude protocol qualification,
first workflow attempt, zero automatic retries.

## What Changed

- Add a narrow `export-runs` path to the existing TestOps helper. Bind
the sanitized score and artifact to the exact attempt, case, model,
provider, driver, and public-projection schema. Reuse the existing
strict grade and check validation.
- Keep sanitization inside the private report job. Use structured
records for controlled TestOps reporting. Keep the public viewer for
legacy publication.
- Add record identity, privacy, grade, command, and workflow routing
controls. Wire the existing helper and workflow-security files into the
required Node registry. Document the reporting path.

## Verification

- 43 focused campaign/sanitizer, TestOps and workflow security tests
passed. The command regression writes a raw attempt, calls the
production sanitizer, and runs `export-runs` on its output. It also
repeats that chain after a failed-check mutation. Both new-control files
now run through required `test:typescript:prep`, not only the optional
publisher script.
- The actual required prep ran locally with provider credentials
excluded. The eval-kernel and Rust builds passed. Its Node registry
executed the new producer-to-export and security controls by name: 403
passed, 2 failed, 11 existing skips. The two original package-contract
failures cannot resolve this isolated clone's Codex ACP and Claude ACP
package links. This is not a green local full-prep claim. The first
attempt also stopped at a missing Node-types link, before an ignored
clone-local link to the locked cached version restored that
prerequisite.
- 72 release workflow tests passed with the existing locked pnpm 9.15.4
wrapper and local loopback permission. The first sandbox run failed
because loopback fixtures could not listen; the default local tool path
also failed two install fixtures. No test assertions were changed to
resolve these failures.
- The actual repaired workflow shell ran locally against the retained
canary campaign and sanitized records. It emitted one closed passed
result with all four original checks. No provider request or upload
occurred.
- Missing or failed checks still reject a pass. Private-only markers
stay absent from the closed output. Wrong model, provider, driver,
attempt, case, and schemas reject.
- The unmodified, pinned eval program still rejects a controlled
public-viewer command.
- Actionlint and `git diff --check` passed. [Full final-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41927878886)
passed on its first attempt at `0d0c090b1b`. Required verify/e2e gates,
all four Runner lanes, typecheck, build, backend and browser shards
passed. Package suite: 4951 passed, 10 existing skips across 297 passed
files and one existing file skip.
- The required static log contains passing lines for both the production
sanitizer-to-export command regression and the closed-projection
security control. The prior optional-script registration did not run
those tests in required CI; the one script-entry fix now enforces them.
Provider/runtime and workflow bytes are unchanged by the
verification-only follow-ups.
- Greptile: fresh 5/5 on `0d0c090b1b`, with no actionable new issues.
The separate Paperclip Review requested a producer-to-consumer
regression. That regression and its required-CI wiring are complete. The
addressed thread is resolved; no open review threads remain.
- No fresh deployed reporting pass is claimed. The failed workflow and
its stored broken result remain unchanged.

## Risks

The exporter reads structured records inside the private job. It copies
only the closed result fields and requires the existing sanitized marker
and identity checks. The final reporting job still receives only those
files and verifies the saved result bindings. The Python privacy guard,
provider path, case assertions, budgets, deadlines, and retries are
unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, exact model `gpt-6.1-sol`, max reasoning effort. The
inherited runtime reports a 475,000-token context window. Capabilities
used: reasoning, code changes, and repository, shell, and GitHub tools.

Devin FoleyandClaude Opus 5.5 7f9ef38273 fix(runner): report the upstream cause of OpenCode provider failures (#19166)
OpenCode reports some OpenRouter failures as an UnknownError whose message is the provider's JSON error body. The provider failure now reads its HTTP status, error type and message from that body, so the run shows the upstream message instead of raw JSON.

The OpenCode nativeTurnFailure diagnostic now carries the provider failure's category, retryability and HTTP status (closed values only; no provider text or code), and recognizes the driver's opencode_empty_response code. Run status, error codes and retries do not change.

Devin FoleyandClaude Opus 5.5 6452e964a3 fix(runner): ignore replayed history for restored terminal turns (#19035)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip Runner executes native provider sessions (Codex app-server
and ACPX) and can resume a run from an exact persisted checkpoint on a
replacement sandbox.
> - When a turn completes without a semantic result, the server
schedules one same-run disposition recovery from that checkpoint.
> - On the replacement sandbox, the restored runner can deliver the
committed history of the checkpointed turn again as live notifications,
before the disposition turn starts.
> - Between turns there is no active turn. The identity classifier only
marks settled-turn notifications as `stale_turn` while a different turn
is active, so the replayed `turn/started` reaches the live-turn guard
and fails the session with `turn_binding_mismatch` ("Provider started an
unexpected turn."). Recovery then stops with
`native_event_replay_conflict`.
> - This pull request makes the driver drop replayed history for turns
that were already terminal in the restored checkpoint.
> - The benefit is that exact-checkpoint disposition recovery can
continue instead of failing closed on its own history.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A hosted ACPX run (Claude model) completed its first turn without a
semantic result. The server persisted an exact-checkpoint disposition
recovery. The second attempt restored the harness state from the
verified failover backup on a new sandbox. About 3.7 seconds after the
runner transport was ready, and before any `turn.submitted` event, the
driver failed with `turn_binding_mismatch: Provider started an
unexpected turn.` The run then stopped with
`native_event_replay_conflict` and required workspace repair.

**Expected behavior**
Notifications that only replay a turn that the checkpoint already
recorded as terminal must not fail the resumed session. The disposition
turn must start normally.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open a session, start turn `turn-1`, and complete it without a
semantic result.
2. Take the snapshot and recover the session on a new transport.
3. Deliver `turn/started`, `item/*` and `turn/completed` notifications
for `turn-1` again, before or during the disposition `turn/start`.
4. Before this change, the session fails with `turn_binding_mismatch`.
If the replay arrives while `turn/start` is pending, the driver binds
`turn-1` as the new turn and fails with "Codex turn identity changed
during start".

**Paperclip version or commit**
Observed on a staging release built from `c2163b3ecf08`. Reproduced on
`master` at `89703c3`.

## What Changed

- `CodexSessionState` records the turn IDs that were terminal in the
restored checkpoint (`restoredTerminalTurns`). It also adds
`isRestoredTerminalReplay(turnId)`. This is true only when the turn was
restored as terminal, is not the active turn, and the session has not
failed.
- `codex-session-notifications.ts` drops `turn/started`, `item/started`,
`item/completed` and item or turn delta notifications for such turns. It
emits no turn or item events for them. It emits a bounded
`provider_notification_identity` diagnostic with `classification:
"restored_terminal_replay"`, and shares the existing limit of 32
diagnostics.
- A replayed `turn/completed` is unchanged. It still goes through
`mapTerminalTurn`, which compares the terminal fingerprint and fails on
a conflict.
- New regression file `codex-app-server-driver.terminal-replay.test.ts`.
It replays history before and during the disposition submission. It also
checks that a live session still fails closed on `turn/started` for a
turn that ended in that same session.

## Verification

- Red before the fix, on `master` with only the test file added:
- `npx vitest run
src/drivers/codex/codex-app-server-driver.terminal-replay.test.ts` gives
2 failed and 1 passed. The "before" case fails with
`NativeProviderTerminalFailure: Provider started an unexpected turn.`
(`providerCode: turn_binding_mismatch`). This is the production error.
The "during" case fails with `Codex turn identity changed during start`.
- Green after the fix: the same command gives 3 passed.
- Related suites: `npx vitest run src/drivers/codex
src/drivers/acpx/codex-acpx-driver.test.ts
src/conformance/harness-driver.test.ts
src/backends/harness-driver-backend.test.ts
src/live/live-session.test.ts` gives 567 passed and 1 failed. The
failure is `codex-boundaries.test.ts > defers provider-owned workspace
existence without weakening its assignment`. It also fails on unchanged
`master` in my sandbox, because the sandbox workspace path triggers the
sensitive-path check. It is not related to this change.
- `tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit` shows no errors in the changed files.
The only errors come from the unbuilt
`@paperclipai/paperclip-eval-kernel` package in
`src/eval/workflow-harness.ts`, because I did not run the eval build
prep step locally.

## Risks

- The change relaxes the guard only for turn IDs restored as terminal
from the checkpoint. Notifications for those IDs are now ignored and do
not fail the session. A provider cannot use a settled turn ID for new
work, so these notifications cannot be new provider activity.
- Live post-terminal notifications, pre-turn notifications, foreign turn
IDs, `paperclip/runResult`, and tool calls keep their current
fail-closed behavior. The new test covers the live post-terminal case.
- Limitation: this change makes the driver tolerant of the replay. It
does not change why the runnerd transport cursor replays the committed
window on exact-authority recovery. The transport-level reason was not
reproduced here. The new diagnostic makes the event visible in run logs,
so later evidence can confirm or reject that path.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, used as an agent with
tool use, shell and test execution, and repository search.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 3a72efebe5 fix(native): confirm no runner process when remote staging fails before launch (#19059)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native sandbox runs supervise a remote `paperclip-runnerd` process.
When that process exits during a turn, the transport restarts it inside
a reconnect grace window.
> - The server launcher stages the runtime assets first. Then it sends
one launch RPC that starts runnerd.
> - When staging failed, the launcher reported the exit as unconfirmed.
This happened although no launch RPC was sent and no process could
exist.
> - Reconnect recovery treats an unconfirmed exit as a possible second
owner. So it stopped at once with
`runner_process_termination_unconfirmed` and did not retry.
> - This pull request confirms the exit for failures before the launch
RPC. Failures after dispatch stay unconfirmed.
> - The benefit is that a transient staging failure, such as a full
sandbox disk, uses the normal bounded retry. A real failure ends with
`transport_reconnect_grace_exceeded` and keeps the staging error as the
detail.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
On a hosted staging deployment, 7 native ACPX runs failed in 24 hours
with `Provider notification transport failed closed.`
(`native_provider_terminal_failed`). In every run, the runner process
exited during the turn. The replacement launch then failed while it
uploaded the runtime context into the sandbox:
`runner_process_termination_unconfirmed: replacement runner health could
not be verified: ... .paperclip-upload-<uuid>.tar.gz: create: ... no
space left on device`.
The sandbox disk was full. No replacement process was started. But the
launcher said that it could not confirm the exit. So recovery did not
retry inside its grace window.

**Expected behavior**
A staging failure before the launch RPC proves that no replacement
process exists. Recovery must retry within the configured reconnect
grace. If the failure continues, the run must end with the
reconnect-grace failure and the staging error.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a remote runner launcher whose `ensureArtifact` step throws,
for example with an ENOSPC upload error.
2. Wait for the handle completion to reject.
3. Before this change, `isExitConfirmed()` returns `false`, and no
launch RPC was sent. The transport then fails closed with
`runner_process_termination_unconfirmed`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Observed on staging revision `89703c3`. Reproduced on `master` at
`be20d4ad97`.

Related: #19035 and #19014 change other runner paths (replayed terminal
turns and redacted external tool results). They do not change remote
launcher exit evidence. #18999 adds a free-space reserve for host-volume
seed copies. It does not change sandbox disk use or this classification.

## What Changed

- `createRemoteRunnerProcessLauncher` records when it dispatches the
launch RPC. If the completion fails before that point, the handle
reports `isExitConfirmed() === true`. The original error is kept
unchanged.
- A failed or timed-out launch RPC still reports an unconfirmed exit,
because the RPC may have started runnerd.
- Added a launcher regression for a staging failure before dispatch.
- Added safety cases for a failed and a timed-out launch RPC.
- Added a transport regression with the real `paperclip-runnerd`. A
replacement whose staging fails is retried, and the next launch restores
the durable session without a notification failure.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "remote
runner process supervision"` failed `confirms no replacement process
exists when staging fails before the launch RPC` with `expected false to
be true`. The two launch-RPC safety cases passed.
- Green after the fix: `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts` passes 1131
of 1131 tests.
- `npx vitest run src/services/native-runtime/setup-readiness.test.ts`
passes 98 of 98 tests.
- `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts` passes 246 of 246 tests with
the real debug `paperclip-runnerd`. This includes the existing case
where a replacement with a dispatched but unverifiable process still
fails closed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server` and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck` pass.
- Not run: a live hosted sandbox with a full disk. The staging data
showed the exact error, but this change was not deployed there.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change affects only failures that occur before the
launch RPC. In that window, the launcher has not run any sandbox command
that can start runnerd.
- Retries now run for the reconnect grace window, which is bounded and
uses the existing backoff. Each failed staging attempt cleans its own
upload scratch.
- This change does not free sandbox disk space. If the disk stays full,
the run still fails, now with `transport_reconnect_grace_exceeded` and
the ENOSPC detail.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip a0c0851766 Runner: add private host control channel (#19129)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip coordinates AI agents and their execution.
> - A hosted Runner can remain alive between turns.
> - Its host needs to park, claim, or retire that process without a
persistent Core connection.
> - Those requests need a private channel with bounded input and safe
retries.
> - This PR adds the channel codec and socket handling as an isolated
foundation.
> - Later lifecycle changes will validate and execute the requests.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Current behavior**
The Runner has no task-private host control channel. The earlier
combined lifecycle change was split for review.

**Proposed behavior**
Add a private Unix stream protocol for host lifecycle requests. This PR
does not wire it into Runner startup or advertise support. It can be
reviewed independently of stopped-process recovery.

**Reason and benefit**
Review frame parsing, credential handling, and retry behavior before
adding park and claim transitions. This replaces the transport portion
of #19060. The source-recovery work supersedes #19057 and #19058.

## What Changed

- Add `host_control.rs` and enable the existing rustix dependency's
socket APIs.
- Accept only a connected Unix stream. Set close-on-exec so provider
children do not inherit it.
- Bound request frames to 16 KiB. Reject unknown fields, malformed
requests, and EOF with a credential-free error.
- Add socket-pair tests for framing, deadlines, retries, conflicts, and
receipt-window reset in a separate test file.

### Transport contract

Each request is one newline-delimited JSON object. Each response is `{
"id": "request-id", "status": "..." }` followed by a newline.

| Request | Required binding | Intended effect in the later lifecycle
consumer |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `park` | Six Runner identity fields, last controller command sequence,
acknowledged source sequence | Retain the process and mounts after the
controller has settled that exact cut |
| `claim` | Park request ID and a fresh bootstrap ticket | Reconnect the
retained process through authenticated bootstrap |
| `retire` | Park request ID; optional claim ID and identity/sequence
cut | Retire only the matching parked or claimed process |

The six identity fields are Runner instance, environment lease, run,
normalized session, turn, and item IDs. This module only parses requests
and sends responses. The lifecycle consumer must validate these bindings
before performing an effect.

Before applying a request, the consumer checks the in-memory response
cache. An identical retry receives its prior status. Reusing a completed
request ID with different content returns `conflict`. Conflict responses
do not reserve an ID. A successful `parked` response starts a new cache
window; the consumer's identity, sequence, and park-ID checks must
reject requests from older windows. Credentials are neither persisted
nor included in errors.

Active reads are nonblocking. Parked reads block on socket input and may
have a caller-supplied receive deadline. Partial frames do not extend
that deadline. No idle polling is added.

## Verification

- `cargo test --offline --locked --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml -p paperclip-runner-core
--lib host_control::` — 6 passed.
- Confirmed the repeated-chunk test fails when reads incorrectly reset
the original deadline. Restored production code and reran the targeted
suite.
- The initial policy gate did not recognize inline Rust tests. Moved the
same tests to the existing `src/tests/` convention.
- GitHub CI passed on `aaac996aba76`. Greptile is 5/5 on that commit,
with no unresolved review threads.
- A local merge-tree check against current master `1a7eb70a37bf` is
conflict-free.
- Reviewed changed lines for secrets, personal data, and private
deployment references before push.

## Risks

The module is dormant in this PR. It does not make a VM sleep, detach
Core, or evict a Runner. Integration must enforce the documented
identity and sequence fences before replying with success. The response
cache is process-local and does not provide recovery across process
death. Linux and Windows compilation are covered by CI; local socket
tests run on macOS.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with tool use and code execution. GPT 6.1 Sol with High
effort handles the parallel recovery work; this isolated channel change
is implemented by the coordinating Codex agent.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 aa8372fd5d fix(accounting): post late usage to its owning run (#18991)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner sessions keep one provider conversation across task
turns, so Paperclip accounts usage per run.
> - Codex can report more usage for a turn after its run's charge was
posted.
> - The Runner then marked the session `reconciliation_required`. If
another run was attached, it also failed that run. Core refused the
delivery with `native_usage_after_finalization_requires_reconciliation`.
> - That usage has already happened. Blocking the session cannot undo
it, and the debt waited for an operator while the run totals stayed
wrong.
> - Codex totals are cumulative, and the Runner already knows the owning
run in most cases. So the correct amount can be posted automatically.
> - This pull request reports the exact increment with its owner, and
posts it to the owning run as a separate cost event.
> - The benefit is that run accounting becomes correct without stopping
work, and an old run's usage can no longer fail a newer run.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No issue exists. I searched open and closed pull requests and issues for
"late usage", `native_usage_after_finalization_requires_reconciliation`
and `codex_usage_accounting_integrity`. I found no duplicate.

**What happened?**

Code review found this while diagnosing session recovery failures. When
Codex reported usage above the known total for a turn that was not
active, the Runner blocked the session. If that turn belonged to a
previous run, the Runner also failed the attached run with
`codex_usage_accounting_integrity`. Core kept the receipt as debt, and
could correct it automatically only if the token counts were unchanged.

**Expected behavior**

Late usage does not stop any run or session. The charge goes to the run
that used the tokens, and it is auditable.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Finish a Codex turn on a native Runner session and attach the next
run.
2. Have Codex send `thread/tokenUsage/updated` with a higher total for
the finished turn.
3. On the unfixed code, the attached run fails and later attaches are
refused.
`late_codex_usage_requires_durable_reconciliation_before_or_after_handoff`
encoded this behavior.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `04a24f4e06`.

**Deployment mode**

Any deployment that uses a native Runner with Codex.

## What Changed

- **Runner:** late usage no longer sets `reconciliation_required` or
fails a run. For a turn that belongs to a previous run, the Runner emits
`usage.reported` with the increment in `runDelta` and the owner in
`reconciliation.priorOrigin`. `runDeltaAvailable` stays `false`, so an
older Core does not bill it to the attached run.
- **`CodexRunUsage::absorb_late_usage`:** treats only usage above the
known thread total as late, and keeps the attached run's delta
unchanged. A report at or below that total adds nothing, so the sum
across runs always equals the thread total and a replay cannot charge
twice.
- **Delivery:** `captureLateUsageForOwner` stores the increment as a
late receipt on the owning run. The owner must be a finished run in the
same company and native session. If the Runner cannot name the owner,
Core uses the session's last finished run and records the attribution as
`inferred`.
- **Local Runner:** late usage stays with the run that is active when it
arrives, or the next run. Usage reported between two runs stays in the
next run's delta, so the total stays exact.
- **Accounting:** `reconcileLateRunUsageReceiptInTransaction` posts a
token increase as a new cost event with the key
`heartbeat:<run>:late:<receipt>`. It updates the run totals so the
accounting integrity check still agrees, records
`cost.late_usage_posted` in the activity log, and queues budget
evaluation.
- **No more refusal:** `persistUsageReceipt` no longer throws after it
saves late evidence, so late usage cannot wedge a Runner outbox.
- **Covered receipts:** an older same-source receipt at or below the
accepted totals, with matching billing, is cleared because a newer
cumulative receipt already covers it. Conflicting billing stays as debt.
- **Older Runners:** a zero-filled invalidation stays on the delivering
run.
- **Unchanged:** a newer lower total, a changed model or billing type,
and per-model receipts stay as visible accounting debt for an operator.
- **Unchanged:** an unexpected provider message during the warm
attachment drain still fails closed. A separate change addresses that
gate.
- **Docs:** added "Late provider usage" to `doc/execution-semantics.md`.

## Verification

- `cd packages/paperclip-runner/runner && cargo test --locked -p
paperclip-runner-core --test codex_provider`: 99 passed, 2 ignored.
- `cargo test --locked -p paperclip-runner-core --lib codex_usage`: 7
passed. This includes new tests for the out-of-order and repeated report
cases.
- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/run-cost-accounting.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-usage-delivery.integration.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-recovery-usage-delivery.test.ts
src/__tests__/cost-data-quality.test.ts`: passed against embedded
PostgreSQL before the last review fixes, and the accounting and delivery
files were re-run after them.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p .` in `server` reports no errors.
- New tests cover exact and inferred owners, repeated delivery, late
usage that arrives before the owner's charge posts, another session's
run, an older Runner's report with no increment, a same-run increase,
and a lower total. They also run the accounting integrity check after
posting.
- **Review:** Greptile Apex scored 1/5, 4/5, 3/5, 2/5 and 4/5 while
findings were fixed, then 5/5 at the current head.
- **Local Runner:** driver tests cover usage reported between two runs,
including across a restore. No end-to-end local run has exercised it.
- **Not run locally:** the full test suite. CI provides that coverage.
- **Not verified live:** a read-only check of a test deployment found no
late receipts in its history, so this path has only run against
fixtures.

## Risks

- **Run totals can rise after a run finishes.** This is deliberate. The
correction is a separate cost event and an activity log entry.
- **Budgets are corrected after the fact.** A late charge can put an
agent over budget after later work has started. Budget evaluation runs
after each correction, but it cannot prevent that work.
- **Local sessions accept imperfect attribution by design.** Their late
usage can land on the active or next run, because local sessions have no
durable path for routing it. This also applies after a Stop or a pause.
The total stays exact.
- **Out-of-order reports can leave tokens on the wrong run in the
session.** If a prior turn's report arrives after the attached run has
already counted past that total, those tokens stay on the attached run.
Moving them would need a lower correction to the attached run. The total
stays exact.
- **Inferred attribution can name the wrong run in the session.** The
usage still belongs to that session and the total stays correct. The
attribution is recorded as `inferred`.
- **A session with no finished run charges the delivering run,** as an
inferred late charge after its own charge posts.
- **Rollout order:** deploy Core before the Runner. An older Core would
keep this event on the attached run as incomplete usage, and would still
refuse a same-run late receipt.
- **Migrations:** this change has no migration.

discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be reworked.

Dotta 8002dfb06e fix(evals): repair bounded TestOps protocol admission (#19011)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agent work through a governed
control plane.
> - Runner protocol qualification uses real providers and records
selected cases in TestOps.
> - A manual registration run starts an Allure watch session before it
validates the case selection.
> - Watch creates the job run, but it does not fill the empty job-run
input in the child environment.
> - The selection helper therefore stops before it can validate the new
job run.
> - A configured AWS concurrency ceiling can also reject a valid smaller
hosted-runner request.
> - Hosted tool-cache permissions can also violate Runner
qualified-executable admission before a provider starts.
> - This pull request captures official session identities, keeps both
concurrency ceilings, and stages the same Node bytes in an owned
directory.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18985.

**What happened?**

The [first registration
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41877603952)
created an Allure job run, then stopped with
`runner_testops_jobrun_missing`. The child inherited an empty
`ALLURE_JOB_RUN_ID`. The helper made no job-run API read and executed no
provider case.

The current configured concurrency ceiling is 100. The controlled hosted
cap is 57. The original catalog guard rejects 100 before it applies a
valid requested value of 2. The [first service-selected
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41884365232)
reproduced this second pre-provider failure. Its selected case was
correctly reported as broken. No provider cell ran.

A [second service-selected
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41887671585)
passed selection, lock and cost preflight. Runner rejected a qualified
ACPX launch artifact as group- or world-writable. It recorded no model
request. The verified sidecar is mode 0755. Hosted Node is the only
other launch artifact, which points to Node as the cause. The original
run did not retain its exact mode. The TestOps reporter retained the
infrastructure failure.

**Expected behavior**

The manual path must capture the job-run and launch IDs from the active
official watch session. It must validate those IDs against the same
GitHub run, job, launch and standing plan before provider work. A
requested concurrency value must fit the configured ceiling and the
selected runner cap. The default must use the lower ceiling. Before
credentials, the worker must stage the same Node bytes in an owned
directory and preserve Runner permission and digest admission.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Dispatch the trusted Runner protocol workflow with reporting enabled
and an empty job-run service input.
2. Let `allurectl watch` create the registration session.
3. Observe that the original helper rejects the empty child input before
selection validation.

## What Changed

- Call the supported `allurectl job-run env` command for manual
registration. Use a fixed argument list without a shell and bound its
time and output.
- Parse only numeric job-run and launch IDs. Reject missing, duplicate,
malformed or conflicting values. Discard all other command output.
- Bind the captured launch ID to the authoritative job-run response.
Keep the service-supplied ID path and its existing checks.
- Apply requested parallelism within both configured and physical
ceilings. Use their minimum as the default. Keep the selected-case
capacity and provider budget checks.
- Snapshot the same current Linux Node bytes into a fresh owner-only
directory before credentials. Verify the copy, execute it to bind its
path and version, and put only that directory first on the job-local
path. Record original and copied Node modes and hashes plus the actual
sidecar mode and hash. Keep shared cache permissions and Runner security
checks intact.
- Add focused context, identity, concurrency, permission and
secret-exclusion controls. Supply the production physical cap in the
existing release-workflow fixture.
- Fix the existing Kimi cancellation fixture to await the complete
readiness sentinel within the same 100 by 10 ms bound. Keep its
cancellation and cleanup assertions.

## Verification

- The original empty-ID failure reproduces locally on the actual helper
with all 41 standing cases and zero job-run API reads.
- All 63 Node publication, projection, metrics, permission and
workflow-security tests pass. The repaired manual context flows through
the actual selection helper to case 194. Wrong launch, duplicate IDs,
malformed values and command failures still stop selection.
- The original catalog prefix rejects configured 100 / hosted 57 /
requested 2. The repaired prefix admits 2, clamps a missing request to
57, keeps legacy 100, and rejects requests above either ceiling.
- The full release-policy CI command passes locally: 72 release-workflow
tests and 107 companion tests. The first sandbox run could not bind its
loopback fixtures; the same tests passed with local-network access. The
prior-head CI fixture omission is retained and fixed by supplying the
same physical cap as production.
- Both full static Node file groups pass locally: 418 passed and 11
existing opt-in skips, at concurrency 2. Initial runs used stale
dependency links and failed. Correcting only isolated ignored links to
declared cached dependencies and pnpm 9.15.4 removed those setup
failures. Local Node 26.4 differs from CI Node 24; the exact-head CI
below provides canonical verification.
- `actionlint .github/workflows/runner-protocol-live-evals.yml` and `git
diff --check` pass.
- The new staging helper passes all four tests as a nonroot Linux user
with networking disabled. An actual retained Runner comparison
reproduces the qualified-artifact rejection with Node mode 0777. The
same Node bytes at 0500 in a 0700 directory pass that launch boundary
and reach a closed provider session. The local turn still fails without
credentials or network; this is permission proof, not a protocol case
pass. Local Linux Node 24.21 differs from the hosted 24.22.1 executable.
- Exact final head `8e06ee5611` [repository
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41892896405)
completed successfully. Typecheck, build and all four Runner lanes
passed. Runner package tests passed 4950 tests in 297 files, with 10
existing skips. Fresh exact-head Greptile review is 5/5 with no
actionable findings or open threads. Prior `59378f` CI Kimi
empty-sentinel race and canceled chat worker remain retained.
- The patched manual workflow has not run against live TestOps. A
separate service-triggered probe supplies its own ID. The service probe
used the original concurrency guard with a temporary configured ceiling
of 57. After the probe, the original repository ceiling 100 was restored
with no active campaigns. That probe does not verify this patched
concurrency code. The next launch waits for the protected merge and
source/lock verification.

## Risks

An incompatible official CLI output fails closed. The helper never
evaluates the output or records its unknown variables. The existing job,
workflow URL, source, plan and provider checks remain required. An
omitted concurrency request now uses the lower of the configured and
physical ceilings. Explicit requests above either ceiling still fail.
The worker now executes a private copy of its existing Node binary. A
copy, mode, hash, path, version or sidecar mismatch stops before
credential access. The copy does not make dynamically linked Homebrew
Node portable; this workflow path is Linux only. This change does not
alter the provider roster, policy, limits, retries or result grading.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. The exact hosted model ID and context window are
not exposed in this session. Used reasoning, code editing, repository
inspection and tool execution.

DottaandPaperclip 8a0e7ab511 fix(runner): preserve ordinary append for unscoped governed terminals (#19044)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work done by AI agents.
> - A native turn can park on a saved human question or approval.
> - Its terminal event can return a committed receipt before observers
finish.
> - That option requires an explicit turn ID at the event port.
> - The protocol also permits events without a turn ID.
> - The runner requested the option for those events, which the port
rejected.
> - This change keeps those events on the ordinary append path.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #19025.

**What happened?**

The native governed-wait observation can accept a schema-valid
`item.completed` without a turn ID. If the later terminal also has no
turn ID, the runner compares two absent IDs and requests
`deferPostCommitObservers`. The event port rejects that option. The run
then fails with `governed_wait_provider_terminal_unproven`.

**Expected behavior**

Only a terminal with an explicit turn ID can request the early receipt.
An unscoped terminal must keep the ordinary append behavior and await
its observers. The event port must retain its turn identity check.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a pending human-only interaction from the run.
2. Pass a schema-valid completed tool event without a turn ID through
the real governed-wait observation.
3. Supply an interrupted terminal without a turn ID during the
cancellation drain.
4. Run the actual native runtime with the PostgreSQL event port. The
parent code rejects the deferral request and reports a failed terminal.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `4ea53f9eb5a24de10db3dfda18456132987c4af8`. The follow-up
was identified by a review published after #19025 merged. No observed
provider emission or original-task recovery is claimed. I checked
current master and related PRs before this correction.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source. The regression uses real PostgreSQL and a
deterministic provider boundary; it makes no model call.

## What Changed

- Require a truthy terminal turn ID before the runner requests deferred
observers.
- Keep ordinary append behavior, the port identity check and all
timeouts unchanged.
- Exercise the production governed-wait observation with a persisted
pending interaction and the real event port.
- Retain exact-turn observer and checkpoint controls. Add a direct
rejection control for unscoped deferral.
- Document that unscoped terminals await their observers.

## Verification

- First meaningful red: the actual observation, native runtime and
PostgreSQL port fail on the unmodified parent runtime. The new case
reports `NativeProviderTerminalFailure` in 143ms; this is not a setup or
deadline failure.
- Focused regression and authority controls: 12 passed, 69 filtered.
Full runtime suite: 203 passed. Full PostgreSQL port and timing suites:
84 passed.
- The tests leave the human-only interaction pending with continuation
policy `none`, accept one result, and start only one turn. Existing
scope, invalid evidence, checkpoint, abort, duplicate and restart
controls remain.
- Exact candidate: `8840ea2c9c308e5a60423e67fb3612d24029ba84`.
Repository-wide `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build` and `pnpm
check:module-boundaries` passed on this exact head. `pnpm test:run` is
still in progress and is not reported as passing. Current-head CI
passed: 55 success, 3 skipped and 1 neutral, including required `ci /
verify` and `ci / e2e`. Greptile and Ponytail both reviewed this exact
head at 5/5 with no blocking findings. The native review was
source-only. No unresolved review threads remain.
- No UI, database schema, agent permission or mapped user entry point
changes. No deployment, live retry or provider replay was performed.

## Risks

Unscoped terminals retain the existing observer wait and can still fail
if it exceeds the existing drain deadline. They do not gain an early
receipt. The change does not supply a missing turn ID or weaken source,
company, run, session, cancellation or transaction checks. A PRP
terminal is not physical-stop or accounting-completion proof.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, with code and shell tools. The host does not
expose the reasoning mode or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip c99bcd89fe fix: preserve Product TestOps evidence and CI readiness (#19000)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work through governed product workflows.
> - Product E2E tests check those workflows through the app and Runner.
> - A trusted reporter sends retained results to TestOps.
> - Free-form metadata and a short upload observer can lose safe, valid
evidence.
> - UUID navigation can also discard task metadata before the canonical
query returns.
> - Hermetic CI files start child processes that need CPU capacity
within their readiness limits.
> - This change closes the reporting contract, retains authenticated
core aliases, and reserves CI CPU capacity.
> - Original case identities, conditions, assertions, verdicts and
deadlines remain intact.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18983. This addresses its late [metadata disclosure
finding](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18983#discussion_r4470789114)
and [upload readiness
finding](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18983#discussion_r4470790366).

**What happened?**

The reporter accepted model IDs and matcher names through syntax
filters. A secret-shaped string could pass those filters. First-task
results also use their top-level model field for an observed alias.
Treating it as configured metadata can reject valid retained evidence.
The upload observer stopped after 22 seconds of waits.

[Required CI on the earlier
head](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41886885193)
also found two real browser title failures and five native package
readiness failures. A deterministic control reproduced metadata loss
during UUID-to-identifier navigation. A separate fixed-resource control
reproduced startup deadline failures with four concurrent hermetic
fixtures, while one and two fixtures passed.

**Expected behavior**

Reject unknown transmitted metadata before creating upload files.
Preserve every original matcher verdict and attempt receipt. Observe
server processing without rerunning the product. Keep authenticated task
metadata visible through canonical navigation. Reserve capacity for
hermetic child processes without changing the original readiness
deadlines.

**Steps to reproduce**

Use a secret-shaped model ID or cleanup state in retained evidence,
return an observed first-task model alias, or let upload processing
settle after 40 seconds of virtual time. Hold the canonical core query
pending after an authenticated UUID read. For the CPU control, run the
same providerless startup/recovery fixture alone, four times
concurrently, and twice concurrently under a fixed 4-vCPU quota and its
original 8-second readiness limit.

## What Changed

- Bind configured model receipts to each exact declared case model. Four
first-task cases use captured agent configuration; their observed
aliases and fallback text remain digest-only. A missing capture stays
null / Not recorded. The other 16 cells use their configured profile
model. Reject wrong or unknown configuration before any upload file
exists.
- Keep the existing model distribution: 18 Codex cells on `gpt-5.6-sol`,
configured-repository case 9 on its existing `gpt-6.1-sol` override, and
task-workspaces case 54 on `openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731`.
The repository override exists at the [original canary
source](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/86814c6550f52e99ede150a883bdc773cbb540e3/tests/runner-e2e/catalog.ts#L1148).
No model configuration changes.
- Allow only existing Matcher kinds, closed failure classes, and cleanup
states `passed`, `failed`, or `not_started`. Publish each matcher's
kind, ordinal, original boolean verdict and SHA256 path receipt. Full
conditions remain in the linked original workflow artifact; raw dynamic
path bytes do not enter TestOps.
- Observe the same upload for at most 55 seconds of poll waits. Product
scenarios, provider retries and scenario deadlines do not change.
- Retain task core data under only the authenticated response's own UUID
and identifier core keys. Preserve existing canonical data. Keep
arbitrary references and full-detail keys empty until their own reads.
- Retain a first-failure trace for the existing Cloud recovery test.
Keep its assertions, timeout, retries, mock data and artifact policy
unchanged. This adds diagnosis evidence; it does not claim to fix that
separate Cloud title timeout.
- Reserve half the available CPUs for Runner package CI workers, with
the existing upper cap of four. A 4-vCPU host uses two workers; an
8-vCPU host still uses four. Local defaults and test selection do not
change.

## Verification

- Reporting controls first reproduced the two original gaps. All 14 Node
contract tests now pass. Unknown configuration creates neither a result
directory nor an export summary. A model valid for a different selected
case is also rejected. Original functional failures and earlier
accounting receipts survive.
- The catalog compatibility test passes for all 20 selected cells, exact
model tuples, real pure grader outputs and actual
`projectFirstTaskResult` shapes. It covers observed aliases, fallback
text, absent evidence and wrong or secret-shaped configured metadata.
These are contract controls, not live journey passes.
- Virtual-clock controls accept a correct result that settles at 40
seconds and reject a persistently wrong verdict after 55 seconds. They
make no product or provider calls.
- Two new core-cache controls failed before repair. The query/cache
suites now pass all 8 tests. They hold canonical refresh pending and
verify title/company retention, newer canonical data, full-detail
enrichment and unrelated keys. UI typecheck and token gates pass.
- The unchanged exact UUID cross-company link/upload browser test passed
once after repair: 5.8-second scenario, 32.0-second complete command.
The unchanged exact Cloud task-entry diagnostic passed once: 5.4-second
scenario, 23.3-second complete command. Its original canonical-only
timeout remains unexplained. All five Cloud tests still collect after
the trace setting.
- The providerless Linux control used the retained Runner and compiled
controller from source `3a2249dd`, with a fixed 4-vCPU quota and
original 8-second readiness limit. Solo passed 1/1; four concurrent
fixtures failed 4/4; two concurrent fixtures passed 2/2. At each
failure, Rust had accepted command 2 but startup was still pending;
checkpoint and published status agreed, one connection was
authenticated, no replay backlog existed, and the sidecar had not
launched. Passing controls preserved the expected startup failure
through controller replacement. No network or credentials were
available.
- That control uses Linux amd64 emulation and Node 24.21; hosted CI used
Node 24.22.1. It supports the worker-cap change, but does not prove that
the original `m5n.xlarge` host caused every CI failure. The original red
attempts remain recorded.
- Actual config-load controls verify 1 CPU → 1 worker, 2 → 1, 4 → 2, 8 →
4 and 16 → 4, with no local, timeout or retry override. The isolated
policy change preserves the same 297 test-file inventory; integration of
current master `89703c3ff7` retains all 298 current native package
files. The original PR package/native command plans remain unchanged.
- Final head `877e28da32f2d2f0d12906c89aff085e2c6ea943` passes both
required checks, `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`, in [CI run 41897677652,
attempt
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41897677652/attempts/2).
The native package passes 4,950 tests with 10 existing skips. All eight
browser shards pass; the Cloud shard passes all 41 tests, including all
four unchanged recovery cases.
- Attempt 1 preserved 46 successful jobs but its one-file heartbeat
recovery shard hit the original 20-minute job limit without a named
assertion or completion verdict. Its cause remains unidentified. One
explicitly bounded debug replay retained those 46 successes and ran only
that leaf and its dependent rollup. The unchanged file passed all 412
tests (346.91-second file, 371.34-second Vitest command, 7m11s job).
Source, cases and deadlines did not change. This establishes
intermittency, not a causal repair. The original timeout and debug pass
both remain recorded.
- Fresh [Greptile
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19000#issuecomment-6637604918)
and [Ponytail
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19000#issuecomment-6637489454)
reviews name exact head `877e28`. The single review thread is resolved.
Live TestOps bootstrap and complete 20-case acceptance remain held until
reviewed delivery. CI and focused controls do not count as product plan
passes.

## Risks

- Future model or Matcher kind changes require a reviewed
reporting-contract update.
- TestOps shows a closed Matcher kind and ordinal. The path digest binds
the original condition in retained evidence.
- Core alias data retains the existing authenticated query-client and
server company boundaries. It never becomes full-detail evidence.
- Fewer CI workers can increase one job's duration. The full suite must
verify the final policy. The paid evaluation matrix and its parallelism
do not change.
- The original Cloud title timeout and the first-attempt heartbeat CI
hang do not have proven causes. Current unchanged assertions pass, but
this does not establish repeatability. The Cloud test now retains its
first-failure trace. A successful upload or focused control alone cannot
establish a complete product pass.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with reasoning, tool use and code execution. The host does
not expose the exact model ID or context window to this session.

DottaandPaperclip 22735cfcea fix(native): preserve governed terminal receipts during observer settlement (#19025)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work done by AI agents.
> - A native turn can yield to a saved human question or approval.
> - The provider must stop, and its terminal event must be saved.
> - The old drain waits for both the event transaction and its later
observers.
> - A slow observer can make a saved terminal look unproved.
> - This change separates the committed receipt from owned observer
work.
> - Checkpoint and result acceptance still wait for that work to settle.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native governed wait can fail with
`governed_wait_provider_terminal_unproven` after its exact interrupted
terminal is already in PostgreSQL. The event port waits for postcommit
accounting, output and projection callbacks before it returns the
receipt. Those callbacks can cross the provider drain deadline.

**What did you expect to happen?**

A committed terminal proves the event transaction. Its observers remain
separate work. A checkpoint or result must not be accepted until those
observers settle. A pending human-only question must keep its audience
and continuation policy.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the real PostgreSQL control-plane regression. Commit a same-turn
interrupted terminal. Hold its postcommit observer beyond the existing
provider drain. The parent code reports an unproved provider terminal.
The fixed code retains the committed receipt and joins the observer
before checkpoint or result acceptance.

No overlapping repair was found in the current master or open-PR search.
Related [#18977](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18977)
covers final conversation-response selection. It does not change this
receipt boundary. The source reproduction is consistent with the
observed failure. The exact hosted provider code is unavailable, so it
does not prove that every observed failure used this branch.

## What Changed

- Add an explicit terminal-only option to the internal event port.
Ordinary appends keep their existing behavior.
- Return that receipt only after the normal transaction and company,
agent, run, session, source and revocation checks.
- Retain the full observer promise. Join it before checkpoint and result
writes. Keep its original rejection and observe it after an aborted
join.
- Reuse the existing provider drain and checkpoint deadlines. Preserve
duplicate and restart replay without another model turn.
- Document the receipt and duplicate-observer replay boundaries. Keep
human-only and no-continuation cards unchanged.
- Assert the actual Codex facade requests deferral only for its
interrupted terminal. Isolate empty skill inventory in monitor-only
process fixtures while retaining their real scheduler, lifecycle,
selection snapshot and three-second deadline.

## Verification

- Meaningful parent red: actual native runtime and real PostgreSQL event
port. The terminal row commits, but a held observer causes
`NativeProviderTerminalFailure` with
`governed_wait_provider_terminal_unproven`.
- Current candidate `0db24ae74ee42fdf92035d8407fc095e9f73cc6a`: full
runtime suite, 203 passed. Real PostgreSQL control-plane, timing and
monitor suites, 103 passed. Runner TypeScript and full layered server
typechecks passed on the unchanged candidate source tree. The controls
cover uncommitted and foreign evidence, explicit false and failed
terminals, held and rejecting observers, abort and controller
revocation, duplicate receipts, and new-port recovery. The real pending
human-only card stays unanswered with continuation policy `none`.
Recovery does not call `startTurn` again.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, the production server build (including the real
Runner release binary), module boundaries and vendor dependency
verification passed on `6d75`; the follow-up changes only tests and
documentation. Diff checks pass on the current candidate. The prior
`399ad3dc2b` repository-wide `test:run` was stopped as obsolete during
the general-server phase after preserving its progress (exit 130,
incomplete); its repository build was not reached. Its six completed
chat shards passed 1,904 cases, but this is prior-head evidence and not
a full-suite pass. Full current-head CI is required before merge.
- CI attempt 1 on `6d75` failed one real three-second monitor-settlement
assertion; the aggregate verify gate consequently failed. Other jobs
passed. The actual CI merge tree was
`3037bf6db162da3b0a9172046360401f8449ebc5` (`6d75` into `89703c3`). An
unchanged full-file replay reproduced three timeouts. Original-deadline
inspection found the legacy process still preparing; local phase timing
measured cold skill inventory at 6.629 seconds. The original CI did not
retain that phase detail, so its exact subcause remains unproved. The
fixture correction supplies empty skill entries for these skill-free
process tests and still invokes the selection-snapshot callback. It
preserves all assertions and the three-second deadline, with no new
drain wait. All 21 cases pass; deliberately restoring the old
blocked-status rejection still fails the real blocked-check case with
409. No CI retry was issued.
- The prior current-head native review was 4/5 with no production
correctness finding. Its requested direct facade-options assertion and
duplicate-observer wording correction are included. Current-head CI is
green (55 success, 3 skipped), including required verify and E2E;
current-head Greptile is 5/5 with no actionable findings. The old native
advisory remains tied to `6d75`, and its requested findings are
addressed. No new native assessment is claimed or required by
protection.
- The first draft broke three existing transaction-start timing
controls. The no-debt path now keeps the original synchronous start, and
all three pass. Two draft type errors were corrected. A further real-PG
red found an extra default-append assertion after commit. Removing it
restores the original committed receipt after a late abort; the same
aborted signal still cannot write a checkpoint or result. Original setup
and assertion failures remain in private verification receipts.
- Normal merge of current master
`3a2249dd5768313f04b2aa3860dfd363492eda16` has no conflicts. The
affected production source blobs did not change in that baseline merge.
- Local proof uses Node 24.22.2 on Darwin arm64, a real PostgreSQL
instance and deterministic provider-boundary fixtures. It makes no model
call. No deployed replay or original-task recovery is claimed.

## Risks

Deferred observers must remain owned. A missed join could accept
incomplete accounting or output. A rejected or stalled observer must
prevent acceptance, and an abort must prevent late checkpoint/result
writes. The tests exercise these boundaries. The port keeps the existing
best-effort trace-publication handling. This change does not turn a PRP
terminal into physical-stop or accounting-completion proof.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, with code and shell tools. The host does not
expose the reasoning mode or context-window size.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 e107a75755 fix(native): decide session settlement from live state (#18992)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner sessions keep one provider conversation across task
turns, so a later run attaches to a session that an earlier run settled.
> - Three gates decide if a session is settled: Core's journal check,
the Runner's attach check, and the Runner's drain of provider messages
after a turn.
> - Each gate kept a list of harmless events and refused anything else.
Every new harmless event became an outage.
> - An example: Codex replays a settled turn's usage on `thread/resume`,
so `run.attach` refused every session that restarted after its idle
timeout.
> - Events after a terminal describe the past. Refusing the session
cannot undo them, and it hides them.
> - This pull request asks a different question: is anything live or
waiting right now? Past events are recorded and no longer block.
> - The benefit is that harmless events stop breaking session
continuity, with no event list for Core and the Runner to keep in step.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No issue exists. I searched open and closed pull requests and issues for
`run.attach requires a settled Codex provider session` and
`prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`. Related work: #18890 added
one more accepted event to Core's list. This change replaces that list.
#18991 handles late usage and is independent of this change.

**What happened?**

On a test deployment, 11 runs failed in 21 days when `run.attach`
refused with `requires a settled Codex provider session with no pending
events`. In all 11, the four pending events were two startup audit
events, `session.resumed`, and a `codex_resume_usage_snapshot`
diagnostic. The diagnostic is what the attach check refused. The retry
then failed with `prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate` in 6 of
them, which hid the first failure.

**Expected behavior**

A session with nothing live or waiting accepts the next run. If
attachment fails, the run reports the real cause.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Finish a Codex turn on a native Runner session.
2. Wait for the idle timeout so that the provider process stops.
3. Start the next run. Codex replays the usage for the settled turn on
`thread/resume`.
4. The attach fails.
`durable_backend_attaches_after_a_settled_resume_usage_snapshot`
reproduces this on the unfixed code.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on `8fd917aedf`. The same check is on `master` before this
change.

**Deployment mode**

Cloud deployment, with a native Runner in a plugin sandbox environment.

## What Changed

- **Runner attach:** `attach_run` refuses only for live or waiting
state: no thread, a closed session, a session that needs reconciliation,
an active or ambiguous turn, an active goal, a pending tool call, or an
unanswered provider request. The error now names the reason.
- **Pending events:** they no longer block attachment. They stay in the
retained queue, and the Runner commits them under the prior authority
before it rotates. `session.resumed` is still discarded because it is
superseded.
- **Runner drain:** `drain_completed_turn_tail_for_warm_attachment` no
longer needs a list of known messages. It still fails on a message that
names another turn, on `turn/started`, on a provider request, and on a
process exit.
- **Core:** `isSettledRemoteWarmControlState` accepts any authenticated
event after the terminal unless it starts work (`turn.started`,
`turn.accepted`, `run.attached`, `tool.execution.started`,
`semantic_tool.input`, `runtime_request.created`), or a goal snapshot or
update shows an active goal or work in progress. All identity, source
and protocol checks are unchanged.
- **Visibility:** the next run's log names the event types that were
recorded after the previous run finished.
- **Real cause:** a same-run retry after a failed attachment now fails
with `prior_attach_failed: <original failure>`, instead of
`prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate`.
- **Docs:** added "Session settlement after a run" to
`doc/execution-semantics.md`.

## Verification

- `cd packages/paperclip-runner/runner && cargo test --locked -p
paperclip-runner-core --test codex_provider`: 102 passed, 2 ignored.
`--lib`: 478 passed, 2 ignored. `--test durable_recovery`: 3 passed.
- **Failure before the fix:**
`durable_backend_attaches_after_a_settled_resume_usage_snapshot` failed
on the unfixed code with the same error as production.
- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/remote-warm-session-recovery.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "settled
remote warm control evidence|recovers a blocked|automatically recovers
only a proven settled local session|retained|warm"`: 476 passed, 680
skipped by the filter.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-resume.test.ts`: 57 passed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p .` in `server` reports no errors.
- **Real data, read-only:** I decrypted the 11 failed runs' stored
events on a test deployment and printed only event types, field names,
and thread and turn IDs. All 11 show the same four events.
- **Audit of live state:** I read the Runner's provider state and
request tracking to build the attach check. It is a code audit. I have
not proved that every kind of live work sets a flag. The Runner holds
active turns, ambiguous starts, tool calls and provider requests in
state today.
- **Not covered:** the wiring that throws `prior_attach_failed` has unit
coverage for its message only, not an end-to-end test.
- **Review:** Greptile Apex scored 4/5, then 5/5 at the current head.
- **Not run locally:** the full test suite. CI provides that coverage.
- **Not verified live:** no live run has used this change.

## Risks

- **Fail-open for unknown live work:** an event type that starts work,
but is not in the short list and sets no state flag, would now pass.
This is the main tradeoff. The previous list failed closed, but it
caused real outages.
- **More events reach the journal after a terminal.** The usage replay
diagnostic is now delivered rather than refused. These events are
informational, and they are named in the next run's log.
- **A failed attachment is not retried on the same run.** Some refusals
could clear on their own, such as a turn that finishes, and some attach
errors are not about live work, such as a failed provider restore. The
run now reports the cause, and it needs another run to continue. On a
test deployment, the next successful run after each failure used a new
provider thread and a new execution workspace. A later change could add
same-run retry.
- **Rollout order:** deploy Core before the Runner. An older Core would
refuse the new events that a new Runner commits after a terminal.
- **Migrations:** this change has no migration.

DottaandPaperclip 3a2249dd57 fix(runner): retry proven ingress bootstrap failures (#18981)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native execution must retain its admitted model and execution
authority during recovery.
> - A sandbox provider can reject Runner endpoint acquisition before the
Runner gets a credential.
> - The old error path loses the structured HTTP status and leaves that
startup failure ambiguous.
> - A zero counter in an old checkpoint cannot prove that no credential
was issued.
> - This pull request adds a versioned producer proof and carries closed
provider status through the existing RPC.
> - A proved transient startup failure uses the existing retry budget. A
terminal proved-unused run can settle its accounting.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18018 and #18934. Those changes restore existing checkpoints and
ready retained environments. This change covers endpoint acquisition
before Runner dispatch. A search of related public PRs found no
duplicate implementation.

**What happened?**

A provider HTTP 502 during Runner endpoint acquisition becomes an
untyped worker error. Native recovery treats it as ambiguous and stops
without retrying. The run's native usage receipt also stays pending
after startup ends without model work.

**Expected behavior**

Retry a structured transient endpoint failure only when the complete
current controller checkpoint proves that this exact run never issued a
Runner credential. Preserve authentication, configuration, Stop,
ownership and provider-progress gates. Settle zero usage only under the
existing terminal accounting owner.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use the controlled endpoint in the Daytona ingress integration test
to return HTTP 502.
2. Register the actual native Runner driver and persist its bootstrap
journal through the encrypted checkpoint writer.
3. Observe the old terminal ambiguous disposition instead of bounded
startup recovery.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on the pre-change master source. The original regression used
the production native driver, a real HTTP fault, a real durable control
plane and local Postgres. The new contract additionally tests the pinned
Daytona SDK and real worker RPC.

## What Changed

- The controller owns a v2 persisted state with retained origin and
credential history. Current readers still accept v1. Older writers
reject v2. Restore and checkpoint decoding do not add missing history.
- The proof validates the complete bootstrap journal, all six identity
fields and every delivery, credential and progress control. The server
rechecks its fingerprint under the current controller claim before retry
or accounting changes.
- Daytona and the SDK carry a closed acquisition phase and HTTP status
through the existing ingress RPC. Both public error wrappers omit
response bodies and causes, including Pino cause serialization.
- Only structured HTTP 429 or 5xx ingress failures can use the existing
three-attempt startup budget. HTTP 401/403, configuration and unknown
errors do not gain retry authority.
- A terminal proved-unused run wakes existing accounting and records
zero provider work. It does not create a semantic result, prove physical
termination or release an unknown process/workspace hold.
- The normal automatic second attempt rechecks its exact claim, frozen
execution and matching complete local/encrypted journal before admitting
absent remote Runner state. It keeps the original pending bootstrap
command IDs. A proved unused Codex home can rematerialize sealed skills.
Full raw local state is checked before streaming-event or policy
projection.
- Normal saved-state readers and the existing E2E journal evidence
matcher accept the closed v1/v2 set. The separate legacy no-launch
witness is unchanged. Technical docs describe the contracts.

## Verification

Current head: `cd38f70409cdb8664e14bfbf4efa208f468a0419` (final delta
adds only fixture artifact preparation). Production files are unchanged
from the independently reviewed `93c8a33520` source. Full repository
typecheck and build passed at `96417acb58`; the affected server
typecheck also passes after the final two-line fixture delta. Focused
protocol, raw-proof, real retry, SDK and RPC acceptance pass on this
source. Earlier broad suite counts are listed with their limits below:

- Durable Runner protocol: 187 tests.
- Native executor, driver, startup/accounting and redaction: 1,211
tests, including real Postgres and encrypted checkpoint persistence.
- Normal saved-state restore/projection compatibility: 21 focused cases.
- SDK: 209 tests.
- Standalone Daytona: 544 tests; 8 opt-in live tests skipped.
- Explicit standalone `pnpm -C
packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona exec vitest run --config
vitest.sdk-ingress.config.ts`: 6 cases with real pinned SDK 0.203.0 and
worker RPC ingress acceptance. These include lookup 502/401/403/400,
private-preview 502 after successful lookup/refresh, missing credentials
and private-response exclusion.
- E2E journal evidence: 4 cases across both supported formats, with
wrong ownership, missing stimulus and unknown-schema controls.
- The exact historical controller source rejects a new v2 checkpoint at
decode and restore. A v1 control is accepted. This verifies the
downgrade fence with the actual older parser.
- Startup controls cover issued and pruned credentials, old/truncated
journals, provider progress, exhausted retry accounting, and
checkpoint/Stop/controller-claim races. Race cases retain the current
execution and pending usage.
- New exact admission controls: 19 cases through encrypted persistence
and cold restore. They cover current/stale/expired claims, Stop, pause,
model/trust/account changes, prior progress, issued/pruned credentials,
adopted/old/truncated state, local/canonical fingerprint mismatch,
hidden delivery, unsupported work and company scope. Two additional
red/green cases prove that raw local stream progress and missing event
policy are rejected before lossy checkpoint projection. No case mutates
run, claim, result or accounting state.
- Actual native executor, scheduler and Rust Runner retry: 2 cases.
Codex uses its fake app server. OpenCode uses the real proxy and fake
OpenCode HTTP server with the frozen DeepSeek model and allow permission
configuration. Each path launches no Runner on attempt 1, starts one
Runner and provider on attempt 2, reuses both original command IDs,
commits one accepted result, validates the persisted local workspace,
records nonzero synthetic native usage and settles accounting once. No
zero-work accounting flag survives.

The controlled SDK and protocol tests use local source, isolated
PostgreSQL, a private HTTPS preview and fake provider servers on macOS
arm64 with Node 24.22.2. They create no hosted sandbox and make no model
call. The root workspace intentionally omits standalone provider
dependencies; the explicit SDK target fails if its pinned dependency is
absent and has no conditional skip. They do not qualify hosted rollout
or repair an old unmarked checkpoint. The first full local typecheck
found missing checkout SDK links from an install with scripts disabled;
the repository link helper repaired that setup.

Current-head Linux CI typecheck and build pass. Independent final review
checked 12 source scopes and six raw-proof controls with no remaining
finding. Fresh Greptile review is 5/5 with no unresolved thread.

The full Runner CI suite found two older control-peer test doubles
missing the new proof method. Both now return no proof, with all 27
permission, ordering and cancellation assertions retained and passing.
The new Cargo-dependent native retry suite uses the existing Rust-cached
CI lane. All 39 lane coverage controls pass and prove complete,
duplicate-free suite coverage. The first full test run stopped at an
admitted chat Retry polling failure. CI also found a stale
retained-allocation fixture, now repaired on master by #18984, and a
canceled runner job. A real SDK suite initially relied on a dependency
absent from the root workspace; the explicit standalone target now owns
that acceptance.

The separate Product E2E support run had 12 failures in four untouched
files. All 12 reproduce on the original clean base with independent
dependencies, compiled base source and verified workspace resolution.
These concern workflow expectations, cleanup timeout arguments, a
profile snapshot and operating receipts. They are not passing
acceptance.

The later full local repository test command stopped at a 15-second
timeout in the unchanged GitHub pre-allocation retry `controller` case.
That exact case passed in isolation with unchanged assertions. The broad
Runner run initially omitted `test:typescript:prep` and lacked debug
fake-provider binaries. Required preparation then passed 370 + 44
package contract cases (11 skipped); the prepared full package run
reported 4,932 passed, 9 failed and 13 skipped. All failed families then
passed with unchanged assertions in isolation: 8 ACPX controller tests
and 2 credential controls. The paired original-base ACPX control also
passed. The full-run failures remain recorded; they are not passing
full-suite evidence.

The first Rust-cached native CI run found a missing generated OpenCode
proxy in a fresh checkout. The fixture now runs the existing verified
provider-entrypoint builder. Removing the generated proxy reproduces the
exact ENOENT before the fix; both real retry cases pass after the fix
from the same absent-artifact state.

All current-head CI gates pass, including the aggregate verification
check. Linux native CI passes all 10 suites: 177 tests pass and 14
opt-in cases skip. Both real provider retry cases pass. The full Runner
package passes 297 suites and 4,950 tests, with 1 suite and 10 tests
skipped. The CLI workspace groups pass 4,762 and 286 tests. The first CI
attempt had Runner shutdowns in the Runner package, Canary and three
general server jobs. One unchanged CLI shard also hit child-server
startup and dense ZIP deadlines. Both CLI files passed unchanged in
isolation: 18 tests. One bounded rerun of unsuccessful jobs and their
dependents passed. The original failures remain recorded.

## Risks

- Older controllers reject newly written v2 state on downgrade. Current
controllers retain v1 restore support, but old or unmarked state cannot
gain this new proof.
- An older plugin that omits structured ingress evidence remains held.
The server and provider must use the new producer contract for this
recovery path. The Docker `cloud` target builds the SDK, server/Runner
and standalone Daytona producer from one source tree. The default
`production` target does not build the standalone producer. Hosted
rollout must confirm the new image and active image-owned plugin worker;
a registry version alone does not prove its source. An npm-installed
producer needs an explicit matching artifact upgrade.
- This prevents future proved startup failures. It does not release
historical accounting based on an old checkpoint, change retry budgets,
replace a model or weaken sandbox isolation.
- Zero model usage is separate from process termination, saved files and
resource release. Those owners keep their existing gates.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with tool use and code execution. This runtime does not
expose the exact backend model ID or context window to the agent.
Read-only independent agents reviewed checkpoint compatibility and
SDK/RPC error boundaries.

DottaandPaperclip 039e0dad2c Connect TestOps protocol plans to verified GitHub attempts (#18985)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people coordinate agent work through a governed
control plane.
> - Runner protocol evals test real provider sessions against a seeded
mock control plane.
> - The saved TestOps protocol plan has no GitHub executor. Its
dashboard shows historical results.
> - A current one-case attempt also failed before any tool call or
provider output. Its retained public-safe snapshot withheld the error
cause.
> - This pull request connects selected cases to the existing trusted
workflow and retains closed operator failure facts.
> - Each selected case receives a current result. Missing evidence
remains broken. Existing assertions and machine grades remain unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Current behavior**

The saved protocol plan cannot start a GitHub qualification attempt.
Historical dashboard results can be mistaken for current execution. A
failed provider turn can also lose its failure category when the live
snapshot applies public evidence redaction.

**Proposed behavior**

The existing workflow accepts TestOps service inputs, validates exact
case identities before provider work, runs the selected cases, and
verifies their published statuses. Eval artifacts retain only validated
failure phase, category, HTTP status, and retryability.

**Reason and benefit**

Operators can run the standing plan from TestOps and inspect current,
source-bound results. A targeted pass cannot stand in for full-plan
coverage. A failed startup can be diagnosed without publishing provider
messages or request identifiers.

## What Changed

- Add optional TestOps selection and protected reporting jobs to the
existing Runner protocol workflow.
- Keep the current actor, source, provider credential, and controlled
accounting gates. TestOps retains the explicitly selected controlled or
legacy mode and a separate 41-case Claude roster. Controlled mode
preserves its existing reviewed policy, immutable bindings, tracing and
zero-retry admission. Its paid workers explicitly use GitHub-hosted
runners, matching the current manifest admission contract even when the
legacy AWS fleet is enabled.
- Bind the exact standing plan, workflow, job run, source revisions,
selected cases, and saved statuses. Accept only verified workflow URL
aliases.
- Create a closed Allure projection inside the report job. Transfer only
fixed case identities, check verdicts, numeric usage and statuses to the
reporting environment. Controlled raw/chat/controller evidence remains
private.
- Publish one result for every selected case. Retain missing
execution/report evidence as broken. Reject unsupported passes, model
mismatch and source drift. Preserve the evidence schema literal, stop
publication on cancellation, and retain closed API error codes/statuses.
- Tag full selections separately from targeted attempts. Add bounded
ingestion observation. Apply the exact TestOps filter before the
unchanged controlled provider/cell-capacity check, so a one-cell
registration fits a one-cell reviewed policy.
- Retain up to eight eval-only closed provider failure records before
board evidence redaction. Forward the original notifications unchanged.
- Add selection, reporting, privacy, and admission regression controls.
Document scope and remaining acceptance.

## Verification

- Direct Node protocol publication, projection, metrics, and security
tests: 56 passed. Focused controls exercise both mode admissions,
missing controlled policy/retries/source rejection, closed result
transfer, exact metadata, and missing-result handling.
- `actionlint .github/workflows/runner-protocol-live-evals.yml` and `git
diff --check` passed.
- A proposed one-cell controlled policy passed the actual hosted
validator with a synthetic prepared request and zero provider calls. The
actual 41-case catalog filter selected case194/get-task-context and the
real hosted admission accepted it under maxCells1. Negative controls
rejected the unfiltered41, unsupported provider, source, selection,
origin, expiry and lock drift. This does not verify provider auth, a
runtime build or TestOps publication; final merged source/lock binding
is still required.
- The actual diagnostic TypeScript module passed positive, negative,
secret-exclusion, and unchanged-notification controls through the
existing tsx runtime. A local actual-CLI startup serializer probe passed
with closed facts, secret exclusion, exit status and read-only fixture
cleanup. This used an isolated resolver into the existing dependency
cache; canonical exact-dependency CI remains required.
- Prior-head CI passed typecheck, Runner static/Rust/native-server
checks and 4946 Runner package tests. One new serializer fixture failed
during Linux read-only directory cleanup; this head applies the existing
neighboring cleanup pattern. Unrelated chat E2E and CLI import timeouts
remain retained. Latest-head required gates are pending.
- Original current-source one-case attempt:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41860234840 . It
failed with no tool calls or output. That failure remains retained and
is not a passing qualification claim.
- Diagnostic candidate attempt:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41863410602 . It
retained the new closed field but still failed before output with
category unknown. This disproves the claim that typed retention alone
identifies the cause.
- The earlier passing run
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40627274706 used
controlled Braintrust routing. Both current failures used direct legacy
credentials, a different auth path. Next acceptance is one explicitly
controlled case with a reviewed current policy, followed by TestOps
registration and a fresh full plan. None is claimed complete by this PR
body.

## Risks

The TestOps contract currently binds the existing 41 cases and one
recorded Claude Sonnet 5 profile. Catalog changes fail closed until
reviewed. This does not qualify other providers. Admission and execution
qualify only the selected accounting mode; a controlled pass does not
prove direct credential health. Model-request readiness retains pending
operating reconciliation. TestOps ingestion can fail independently;
persisted results are checked, and missing evidence is never accepted as
a pass. The new failure field contains closed facts only; raw messages,
identities, credentials, and tool payloads are excluded.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. The exact hosted model ID and context window are
not exposed in this session. Used reasoning, repository inspection, code
editing, and tool execution.

DottaandPaperclip b891e69bd2 fix(native): correct unread wake comments before completion (#18937)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native agents report completion through a server-owned tool
boundary.
> - A truncated external-chat request requires a complete run-bound
comment read.
> - The terminal guard checks that receipt after the provider ends its
turn.
> - Early completion feedback omitted the same check and could accept an
unread report.
> - The provider then lost its chance to correct the report in the same
turn.
> - This pull request returns the existing read requirement through the
completion tool before accepting the report.
> - The final guard still protects the exact source and snapshot after
provider settlement.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #16995 keeps run-scoped readers available to retained provider
threads. #18913 preserves queued comment input. This change fixes a
separate completion-feedback boundary.

**What happened?**

A native external-chat run could submit an accepted completion without
reading all server-bound comments. The terminal guard then failed the
run with `native_current_wake_comments_unread`. Early feedback also
accepted partial, changed and foreign read receipts. The agent did not
receive the required correction while it could still act in the same
turn.

**Expected behavior**

The completion tool must reject the report with a
`read_current_wake_comments` instruction and the cursor requirements. A
complete current read must permit the corrected report in the same turn.
The final snapshot check must remain effective.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a running native task with a truncated external-chat wake and
exact accepted comment IDs.
2. Call completion feedback before reading the comments, or after only a
partial or stale read.
3. Observe that the old code returns an accepted report instead of the
read correction.

## What Changed

- Check the existing run, company, task and agent binding before every
completion-feedback acceptance return.
- Reuse the authoritative current-wake reader and terminal receipt
validator.
- Share the two unchanged read-error codes from their owner across the
validator, feedback and executor classification.
- Convert only the two owned unread or changed-snapshot errors into a
bounded tool correction. Other errors still propagate.
- Keep the final validator, receipt parser, result persistence and
admission policy unchanged.
- Add real PostgreSQL regressions and an actual OpenCode MCP tool
sequence with a controlled local provider process.
- Document the early correction and final snapshot fence.

## Verification

The source checkout uses Node 24.22.2 on macOS arm64 with a fresh owned
embedded PostgreSQL database.

Final published tip: `37bfb269432f86f98cab1a58c09b5519ed9477fd`. Its
production code is commit `8c7297318c3a841fc1c72c846acfaabf58adabe9`;
the last commit adapts three existing module mocks. The expanded
affected group passes **1,284 cases** with **35 existing opt-in skips**.
The skips require captured private-runner transition fixtures and a
configured fresh database, which were not supplied. All nine real
PostgreSQL/MCP cases execute and pass. Recursive typecheck and the full
build pass for production commit `8c7297318c`; the final changed test
layer also passes.

- Untouched master `1a39dea9aa2bb9bea416439b0a574c788e88b9a0`: four
causal failures. Unread, partial, changed and foreign complete receipts
incorrectly receive accepted completion feedback. The ordinary
inline-complete control passes.
- Current source: all nine new cases pass. The actual authorized reader
returns the full accepted comment. The same running task and run remain
intact, with no replacement or accepted-result replay.
- The OpenCode native backend sends a real MCP finish rejection to the
controlled provider process. The process follows the returned reader
instruction, reads every page, and resubmits finish. One provider turn
produces one semantic result proposal. The terminal snapshot fence still
rejects a later comment edit.
- All 98 affected OpenCode driver and MCP bridge cases pass with the
fixture-mode addition.
- The first tool-sequence attempt failed on a fixture-only relative path
before starting the provider. The test now uses its module URL. This
setup failure is separate from the four causal failures.
- The first recursive typecheck found missing local workspace links in
the clone's excluded sandbox-provider directories. Existing dependency
links were copied into the isolated clone. No lockfile or source change
was made for this setup repair.
- At `c57e532a87`, all 1255 cases in the six-file affected server
family, recursive Node 24 typecheck and the full build pass. At
production commit `1ae9f54107e1762bc8222572b365a013d4572d1a`, all 1,257
affected cases, recursive Node 24 typecheck and the full build pass.
- Greptile found that the initial correction could restart a partial
read after page two. On `c57e532a87`, following that correction fails
with the actual reader cursor-order error. The follow-up continues the
caller's most recent cursor and retains the changed-snapshot restart
path. All nine new cases pass, including this regression, a
stale-partial control, the foreign receipt refusal and the actual
same-turn MCP sequence.
- [Linux server3/12
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41788671370/job/126437378334)
found five failures in the older format-feedback SQL fixture. Its flat
heartbeat row did not match the real joined projection. The same five
failures reproduced locally. The test-only follow-up returns a coherent
run/agent/task projection and keeps the real resolver and formatter
assertions. All 14 format and real-PG/MCP cases pass, and the generated
server test layer typechecks. Production code and the earlier
1,257-case/typecheck/build proof are unchanged.
- Qualification of the shared-code change found 49 failures because
whole-module mocks omitted the new exports. The three mocks now pass
through actual module exports and keep their controlled reader methods.
Literal error assertions remain independent. The final 1,284-case group
passes with the exact 35 opt-in skips described above. No production
fallback or substitute code was added.
- [One Linux Runner package
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41792315273/job/126448500037)
passed 4,913 cases and skipped 10, but its synthetic post-rename
credential durability case failed with ENOENT. The complete Runner
package tree and lockfile are identical to the [earlier Linux
control](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41790199252/job/126441739681),
where all 42 credential cases passed on Node 24.22.2. The exact case
also passes once on both base and head on macOS with Node 24.22.2. The
original failure cause remains unverified; OS/load and shared-test
timing uncertainty remain. Credential code and assertions are unchanged.
The single affected-job rerun passes, including all 42 credential tests.
The original failure remains unexplained.
- An ordinary full local test attempt was stopped before the review
repair. It has no completion summary and is INCOMPLETE. Current-head
full CI completed; no local full-suite pass is claimed. Greptile
reviewed the final published tip at 5/5 with zero open threads. All
current-tip checks pass: 54 successful check runs, one successful legacy
commit status, 3 skipped and 2 neutral, with no pending or failing
checks. Paperclip also reviewed final tip `37bfb26943` at 5/5 with no
remaining findings. Its prior 4/5 code-ownership recommendation is fixed
and resolved. No review nudge or hosted task retry was issued.

The controlled OpenCode process uses the supported v1 factory envelope
to exercise the common native feedback and MCP boundary. It does not
call a live model or qualify a provider pack. PostgreSQL, authorization,
pagination and receipt checks are real. No hosted task, model,
permission or saved result was changed. Recovery of an already accepted
historical run remains unverified.

## Risks

- Each finish call adds an exact binding query. A mandatory read also
validates the current accepted-comment snapshot through the existing
transaction. Cost grows with those exact comment IDs, bodies and
attachment metadata; it does not scan unrelated task history or add idle
polling.
- A valid read can become stale before the provider settles. The
unchanged terminal guard still rejects that race.
- Missing ownership or unexpected validation errors remain refusals.
This change does not grant replay authority or turn an accepted
historical result into fresh work.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository inspection, code execution
and GitHub tools. The runtime does not expose the exact serving model ID
or context window. The coordinator performed independent read-only
source review.

DottaandPaperclip c39e076638 fix(runner): retain the cause of closed ACPX sessions (#18872)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Runner records provider failures so the task can show their cause.
> - An ACPX control request can fail and close its session before the
event pump runs.
> - The next poll then reports only that the session is closed.
> - A second cleanup error can also drop a valid startup cause.
> - This pull request retains each failure at its existing reporting
boundary.
> - Operators can inspect the cause while the failed session stays
closed.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: Refs #18622, #18847, #18854. Those changes preserve provider
causes and handle proven startup failures. This change covers a control
failure after provider execution starts.

**What happened?**

A rejected sidecar control closes the ACPX session. A later poll
replaces its error with `ACPX provider session is closed`. The native
terminal loses the control classification. Separately, cleanup can
discard an existing validated startup cause.

**Expected behavior**

Retain the first control classification in the failed terminal. Do not
invent a provider explanation for that code. Keep a validated startup
cause when cleanup also fails. Keep the session closed, uncertain tool
outcomes pending, and the existing recovery checks effective.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start an ACPX turn and receive an authorized tool call.
2. Return its result after the provider has retired that call. The
sidecar rejects `tool.resolve`.
3. Poll the native backend. Before this change, the terminal reports
only the closed-session guard.
4. For the separate startup case, combine a rejected `session.open`
cause with a cleanup error. Before this change, the combined error drops
its validated provider cause.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The two subprocess regressions and the cleanup-composition regression
fail against unchanged production code at `683fa4725e`.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with ACPX. The process regressions use the real Rust
subprocess transport and durable native backend. Their controlled
stale-tool rejection matches the production sidecar response shape. The
separate cleanup unit injects a cleanup error at the existing
error-composition boundary.

## What Changed

- Retain the first failure in the ACPX session and return it from later
closed-state checks.
- Keep the validated provider cause when cleanup also fails.
- Match the stale-tool fixture to production. It carries the closed code
and no invented provider cause.
- Cover a rejected tool result, normal shutdown, raw sidecar-text
exclusion, pending tool preservation, refusal of another turn, and
terminal replay after controller restart.
- Document the existing failure and recovery boundary.

## Verification

- Red: both process regressions fail on the base code. Polling replaces
the named control failure with the generic closed-session error. The
cleanup unit also fails because the combined error loses its existing
startup cause.
- Green: all 12 ACPX session tests, all 36 native backend tests, and all
four session unit tests pass. The stale-tool cases require the
classification and absence of an invented provider cause.
- Commands: `cargo test --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml --locked -p
paperclip-runner-core --test acpx_provider_session` and the same command
with `--test native_provider_backend`.
- Map structure and whitespace checks pass.
- At head `981faa4`, the full Runner core Rust suite passes: 847 tests
passed and three existing tests are ignored. Workspace typecheck and
build pass. The existing TypeScript provider-failure and
durable-settlement boundary suites pass all 30 tests.
- An earlier concurrent local Rust attempt missed an existing Codex
diagnostic deadline. That case passes alone on baseline and head, and
the final full suite passes with the local socket support its tests
require.
- Complete current-head CI passes: 55 successful checks, five
intentional skips and two neutral checks; no failed or pending checks.
Both `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e` pass.
- Failed CI attempts were investigated before rerunning affected jobs.
Logs showed runner shutdowns/lost communication, an unchanged Windows
WebSocket authentication deadline, and an unchanged Cursor Cloud
Stop-fixture assertion. The Cursor Cloud case passes on baseline and
head. No test assertion or CI guard was disabled.
- The local full `pnpm test:run` invocation passed all six chat
partitions, covering 1,838 expanded cases. It was stopped as a duplicate
while still in general-server after complete sharded CI passed. A
completed local full Vitest run is not claimed.
- Greptile and Paperclip reviewed the corrected head at 5/5 with no
actionable findings. There are no unresolved review threads.
- The process test exercises control rejection, process cleanup, durable
terminal persistence, and controller restart. The provider boundary is a
deterministic sidecar fixture. It is not a live Claude or hosted
recovery test.
- A genuine provider refusal or uncertain external effect remains
unresolved. This change preserves its evidence and does not make it safe
to replay.

## Risks

- The first control classification becomes visible where a generic
closed-session error appeared before. Raw sidecar error text stays
excluded. Startup details use the existing validated and redacted
`ProviderFailure` contract.
- A stored failure must not grant execution authority. The failed
session still rejects calls and new turns. Normal shutdown has no
fabricated failure cause.
- No provider profile, digest, retry budget, process ownership rule,
migration, credential, or permission change is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with source inspection, code editing,
command execution and regression tests. The exact runtime snapshot and
context-window capacity are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 84aa989bf9 Preserve native sessions through legacy workspace enrollment (#18943)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native session retains its workspace and provider session across
turns.
> - An ephemeral web server must restore those files without its
predecessor's disk.
> - Legacy enrollment changes the workspace authority and can change
both workspace addresses.
> - The retained provider backup checks those addresses as part of its
identity.
> - This pull request preserves the exact addresses in a verified
migration receipt.
> - The benefit is that the next turn can use the original session after
enrollment.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18932, merged as `612d9931a6`. This pull request builds on that
all-Runner durability change. Related: #18918 fixes concurrent workspace
preservation locks. This change covers identity preservation during
offline enrollment.

## What Changed

- The native workspace migration owner records the selected session
bindings in the successful workspace migration operation.
- Runtime selection retains the original logical address only for the
exact agent, task and session.
- Remote workspace preparation restores the original provider address.
It refuses conflicting targets, forged receipts and occupied unowned
roots.
- The environment owner includes the migration operation in the reusable
lease fingerprint. Warm policy stays warm and receives a fresh
allocation through normal lease cleanup.
- Exact migration evidence permits the existing verified provider backup
to restore into that fresh warm allocation.
- Preserve verified provider allocation files through a normalized,
lease-bound digest receipt. Unknown files and altered markers remain
refused; interrupted publication is retryable.
- Retain legacy managed-instruction session fingerprints using the exact
imported content hash and recorded paths, preserving all other
configuration and credential checks.
- Migrate existing local skill archive/manifest objects through upload
claims, readback verification and receipt compare-and-swap; retain
original objects and IDs.
- Add explicit two-turn browser qualification for every released native
Daytona profile, with warm and per-turn variants. The production
maintenance entry runs offline. The old home is deleted only after a
verified export and successor readiness. The oracle checks provider
identity, native session, addresses, reference bytes, question and final
document.

## Verification

- Full repository typecheck passed at `b12ecd823e`. The production
session fix passed 198 session/credential tests. Full repository build
passed at `94bb917947`. The final Rust-only provider fix passed 57 ACPX
provider tests and the exact Linux release build.
- Workspace and transport checks passed: 117 transport/workspace tests,
six final real PostgreSQL migration boundary cases, 178 environment
tests, 539 Daytona tests (eight skips), and the native warm-backup
admission control.
- Local skill migration passed eight PostgreSQL/S3 tests (one existing
opt-in skip). Failed readback retains the source. Successful readback
still works after deletion of the old home.
- Latest Product E2E typecheck and 38 focused harness tests pass.
Earlier catalog/admission/report checks passed. Twelve unrelated
support-test failures reproduce on unchanged base `1a39dea9aa`; these
are not reported as passing.
- Live Codex per-turn at `2d5bb9a6d1` retained the native and provider
sessions, both workspace paths and exact reference bytes after deletion
of the old home. It completed the task and delivered its saved document
and original reference. Its original failure was an output-count grading
defect. The corrected grader passes all 21 checks against retained,
hashed evidence; the original result remains unchanged.
- Live OpenCode per-turn and Codex warm at harness `94bb917947` pass all
21 product checks. Their launcher cleanup failed because a read-only
diagnostic observer kept its disposable database open. The observer now
closes before ordinary database cleanup; a no-provider reproduction
confirms the fix. All owned sandboxes were independently verified
absent, child keys revoked and buckets removed. Original failed campaign
dispositions remain unchanged.
- Claude at `94bb917947` kept its sessions and reference bytes but
omitted the final clickable document link. That user-delivery failure
remains recorded. The fixture now explicitly asks for the link and
records migration evidence before checking navigation. The fresh Claude
attempt at `b12ecd823e` passed both strict migration checks: exact
provider/native session, both paths, original file bytes and
independently downloaded attachment. Its full browser workflow failed
again: it requested unnecessary confirmation, used the answer sentence
as the reference, and omitted the clickable document link. This is
retained as a failed user-workflow result, not a full pass.
- Earlier live failures exposed and reproduced the skill-object,
fresh-allocation marker and managed-instruction fingerprint bugs. The
fixes retain original identity checks. No provider session reset or
accounting bypass was used.
- The real Grok continuation at `b12ecd823e` failed before provider
execution because its immutable-instruction attach policy rejected
relocated registered file copies. A no-provider regression reproduced
the exact rejection. `b05ba3728a` selects the existing strict
authenticated asset-path policy for Grok; content digests, unknown
context fields, session/workspace identity and same-run mutations remain
enforced. The regression and all 57 ACPX provider controls pass. The
Grok browser migration now passes all 21 checks with the b05 Linux
Runner, including provider identity, exact reference bytes and final
user output; the launcher also reports successful cleanup.
- `24fabf1d81` applies the same policy to released ACPX Codex after a
second no-provider reproduction. All 58 ACPX provider controls and the
final Linux release build pass. Its live browser migration passes all 21
checks on the final binary, including exact original session/file
preservation and completed user output.
- The full native-session executor suite passes all 1,121 tests after
updating its existing lease database fixture for the migration-receipt
join. The prior CI failure was this unsupported test-double method; the
production guard still rejects ordinary unproven recovery. CI and
Greptile 5/5 passed at `ca1e0d5fe6`. The first CI attempt lost several
workers and had one rotated-recovery transport failure; its seven
descriptor cases passed locally, and the single unchanged retry passed.
The original failure remains recorded. Staging enrollment has not
started. Initial offline enrollment and subsequent rolling availability
are separate checks.

- The final review follow-up adds real runtime-selection PostgreSQL
cases for exact, different-session and absent receipts, plus
executor-level warm restoration that copies actual backup files and
verifies provider identity and the new lease stamp. Both complete
affected suites pass (1,172 tests), and full repository typecheck
passes. Removing either production migration connection independently
makes its new positive case fail; both source files were restored
byte-for-byte after these negative controls.

- Final commit `0971d373a3` passes all 63 checks (57 successes, five
expected skips, one neutral); Greptile is 5/5 and every review thread is
resolved.

## Risks

- An identity conflict blocks enrollment and keeps the original files.
It does not silently reset the session.
- A new migration generation retires a reusable lease through its
existing owner. The original sandbox must finish normal cleanup before
reuse proceeds.
- Initial enrollment has an offline step. The separate rolling suites
prove uninterrupted deploy behavior after enrollment.
- This adds no schema migration and changes no provider credentials or
accounting gate.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact serving model build and context
window are not exposed in this session. The agent used reasoning,
terminal tools, code edits, PostgreSQL/filesystem tests and isolated
live browser qualification.

DottaandPaperclip 612d9931a6 Support per-turn Runner sessions on ephemeral web servers (#18932)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The web server controls native Runner sessions in remote sandboxes.
> - An ephemeral web server must recover without its previous local
filesystem.
> - The existing admission rule accepts warm sessions. Managed Claude,
Grok, and OpenCode sessions resolve to per-turn execution.
> - Per-turn execution also needs durable provider-session bytes after
the sandbox is retired.
> - This pull request adds encrypted backup publication and removes the
warm-only admission rule.
> - Both lifecycle modes can use the existing native ownership and
checkpoint contracts during a web deployment.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #18518, #18529, #18826, #18835, #18841, #18864, #18887.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Native Runner execution on web servers with
`PAPERCLIP_EPHEMERAL_SERVER=true`.

**Current behavior**

The admission rule requires a warm Runner lifecycle. Managed provider
credentials can resolve an agent to per-turn execution, so enabling the
ephemeral deployment profile blocks those turns. A database controller
checkpoint does not preserve provider files after the old web home and
per-turn sandbox are removed.

**Proposed behavior**

Admit native execution in either resolved lifecycle. Keep provider and
credential choices unchanged. Publish encrypted provider state to shared
storage before sandbox cleanup. Restore it from a fresh web home for the
next turn. Use the existing controller lease and generation checks for
active takeover.

**Reason and benefit**

Operators can remove the web server volume without excluding per-turn
providers or forcing managed accounts into warm sessions. New native
Daytona profiles automatically enter both rolling-deployment
qualification lanes.

**Breaking changes**

The additive migration creates a backup publication ledger. Existing
volume-backed local-disk installations retain their local backup path.
S3 installations publish encrypted backups and require a stable secrets
master key. Existing-volume enrollment must import surviving session
data before detaching the volume.

## What Changed

- Admit native Runner execution independently of its warm or per-turn
lifecycle. Keep host-owned legacy execution excluded from ephemeral
deployments.
- Store private provider state as encrypted objects. Journal uploads
before I/O, read them back, and fence publication against the current
native owner. Keep the previous published backup when storage or
ownership checks fail.
- Restore exact provider bytes into a private cache. Require an exact
durable backup before sandbox cleanup. Extend the existing bounded
retention pass to retire stored objects without adding idle polling.
- Import selected legacy controller and provider state in the existing
offline maintenance process. Preserve queued work, task pointers,
pending recovery, and original files. Prefer canonical database
checkpoints.
- Preserve already-failed legacy controllers with missing original
artifact proof as encrypted archives. These archives do not become
execution authority. Successful retained sessions still require proof.
Report archival and executable imports separately.
- Verify unmanaged Grok API keys through the existing xAI account
validator. The live test exposed a readiness gap that kept remote Grok
agents paused after platform checks. Preserve failed credentials and the
separate runtime warning.
- Ingest Grok whole-prompt usage at the owning ACP boundary. Bind the
receipt to the exact outbound request/session; reject replay, conflicts,
and incomplete authority. Separate turn cost from cumulative session
cost in the sidecar schema and Rust normalization. Preserve managed
billing identity and identify direct xAI API credentials.
- Preserve published workspace directory names across cold allocations,
including destroyed-allocation cleanup. Keep unpublished epoch/lease
directories isolated and refuse to overwrite an occupied preparation.
This fixes the cold-session identity regression exposed by #18922.
- Increase bounded checkpoint-header inspection to 1 MiB. Retain the
aggregate inspection limit.
- Register all nine native Daytona profiles in per-turn and warm
rolling-deployment suites. Delete the entire departing server home,
exercise ordinary reads and writes, require active ownership transfer,
then check a later turn on another fresh server. Permit only exact
notification replay after reconnect.

Ownership stays with the existing modules: Runner validates its protocol
state; Core validates run scope and controller ownership; storage owns
object I/O; the maintenance process owns offline conversion; the E2E
wrapper owns process replacement and probes. No provider protocol is
added to the shared admission rule. Grok receipt parsing stays in its
provider module. The shared sidecar gains an explicit cost basis because
its existing price field means session-cumulative spend, while Grok
reports prompt totals. Existing consumers retain cumulative behavior
when the new field is absent.

## Verification

- Focused native admission, archive validation, publication fencing,
cleanup, readiness, legacy import, and E2E observer tests pass. Real
PostgreSQL cases verify that queued intent and historical recovery rows
stay unchanged.
- Full typecheck and build pass on the rebased branch. The review
follow-up passes server typecheck, 29 focused
PostgreSQL/archive/readiness tests, and module-boundary checks. Revision
fb8d39a7a1 reached 55 successful CI checks and Greptile 5/5 with no
unresolved threads. The Grok follow-up passes Runner/server typechecks,
238 ACP runtime/projection/usage tests, 16 sidecar-schema tests, the
Rust cost regression, and Core billing regression. The e9aae9cf revision
passed all 57 successful checks, with 5 skips and 2 neutral checks, and
exact-head Greptile 5/5. The latest 9cbec30a4f follow-up changes only
E2E catalog/admission controls; its 291 affected tests pass, all 57
check contexts succeeded (5 skips, 2 neutral), and exact-head Greptile
is 5/5 with no open review threads.
- Migration numbering and safety checks pass.
- A local real PostgreSQL/S3 roundtrip preserved 2,870,101,591 payload
bytes across 89,100 archive entries after deleting the source directory.
Restored SHA-256 matched; upload/readback took 56.5 seconds, restore
74.8 seconds, process peak RSS was 1.40 GB, and all fixture resources
were removed.
- Archives preserve contained relative links, reject link
chains/traversal, and enforce independent byte/entry/object limits.
Offline verification streams hashes. Orphaned deleted-run backups stay
on the original volume. Obsolete object retention preserves the selected
backup, live lease references, and pending uploads with owners.
- Isolated API-key Codex deployment: original active runner/session
transferred to the replacement and committed. All 567 reads, 57 writes,
and 57 readbacks succeeded. A second replacement completed a
same-session continuation with all 287 reads and 29 writes succeeding.
The strict cell failed two agent-authored shell commands; this result is
retained as failed.
- Isolated API-key Claude deployment: original active runner/session
transferred and committed. All 584 reads, 59 writes, and 59 readbacks
succeeded. A second replacement completed a same-provider-session
continuation, with 211 reads and 22 writes succeeding. The strict cell
failed an initial completion call that omitted a registered attachment
citation; the agent corrected it. This result is retained as failed.
- Isolated API-key OpenCode deployment: the same active runner/session
transferred and committed. All 481 reads, 49 writes, and 49 readbacks
succeeded. A second replacement retained the provider session and
completed useful work, with 156 reads and 16 writes succeeding. The
strict cell failed agent tool calls: a denied external-directory write,
malformed artifact hashes, and a second completion after the first
result was committed. There was one submitted/completed turn and one
committed result; reconnect notification replay was identical. This
result is retained as failed.
- Grok's real first turn now completes with settled usage and provider
cost ($0.41397); the next turn is admitted normally. That attempt then
exposed a shared workspace-path identity regression before deployment.
Three cold-restore cases reproduced it before the fix; 106
workspace/transport tests and four focused cold-restore cases pass
afterward, including destroyed allocation and occupied-directory
preservation. Server typecheck and build pass. At b5b0dbb03f both
controller switches passed the read/write probe without failure, and the
active runner retained its process while the controller generation
advanced. The third turn exposed an invalid reasoning-token subset
check; ad07e681ba fixes it with the actual receipt regression. Two later
live attempts failed with an upstream Grok rate limit before deployment.
A tiny preflight prompt succeeded before the second attempt, but the
full workload was still rate-limited. The final live gate remains
incomplete. No accounting or identity guard was bypassed. Earlier failed
attempts and their exact resource-cleanup receipts remain recorded.
- Earlier Codex/Claude/OpenCode receipts predate #18922; they establish
their tested revisions. Current-head live qualification remains pending;
#18943 separately preserves pre-enrollment logical/provider workspace
addresses and adds actual legacy migration proof. Its first Codex
migration attempt stopped safely at skill-version verification.
- Earlier attempts remain recorded: missing local provider-pack setup
blocked one Claude launch, and the observer rejected identical reconnect
replay in another. Setup and the observer were corrected before the
latest run.
- Named staging enrollment has not started. Its serving revision and
post-deployment journeys remain separate delivery gates.

- Broader E2E harness validation exposed deployment-catalog and
installed-lane coverage drift; the affected 291 controls now pass.
Twelve other failures reproduce on unchanged base 1a39dea9aa. They
concern cleanup call expectations, dated operating-overhead fixtures, a
Pi profile-version expectation and workflow-security expectations. No
baseline failure is reported as passing.

## Risks

- Provider archives can contain credentials. Objects use authenticated
encryption with scoped associated data and a wrapped data key. The
original stable master key remains required.
- Storage failure prevents publication and sandbox cleanup. Operators
must keep shared storage available and preserve the previous volume
during enrollment.
- Legacy state without verified identity cannot become executable
recovery authority. Archival preserves evidence and existing failures;
it does not recover already-lost provider files or clear blocked tasks.
- Local overlap probes establish the tested application behavior. They
do not establish Railway routing behavior or live managed-subscription
qualification.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, code execution,
and live integration tests. The exact runtime variant and context-window
size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip a194166017 perf(ci): repair dependency caches and parallelize transport fixtures (#18883)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Required CI checks protect changes to its native Runner and control
plane.
> - Recent Runner jobs restored a Rust cache but still rebuilt
dependencies for 74–92 seconds.
> - New workspace install hooks disabled the materialized JavaScript
dependency cache.
> - A single transport file also kept 326 test cases on one worker.
> - This pull request corrects the cache inputs, replays known install
hooks, and separates independent transport test groups.
> - The same checks can finish sooner without removing test cases or
widening runner access.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18794 and #18544. Related dependency-action version update:
#17698; this change fixes the cache input contract used by the currently
pinned action.

**What happened?**

Recent PR jobs such as #18783 and #18825 restored an exact Rust
dependency cache from October 16. The virtual workspace's development
profile changed on October 30. Rust Cache 2.9.2 hashes member manifests
but omits that virtual manifest. Rebuilding cannot replace an immutable
exact cache entry. The JavaScript cache also rejected the new server and
Runner Copilot postinstall hooks.

**Expected behavior**

Changing a Cargo profile selects a new dependency cache. An exact
JavaScript dependency restore still performs required workspace install
hooks. Independent transport fixtures use the existing file workers
while retaining all assertions and real deadlines.

**Steps to reproduce**

Inspect the Rust dependency cache hit and following `build:rust` in the
recent Runner package jobs. Run `node scripts/ci-dependency-cache.mjs`
on the previous revision to see `cacheable: false`. Run the original
transport file to measure the serial test work.

## What Changed

- Add the virtual workspace manifest and ancestor Cargo configuration to
all shared Rust dependency keys. Keep reader/writer identities aligned
and preserve master-only cache writes and CODEOWNERS-only AWS routing.
- Recognize only the exact reviewed root, server, and Runner postinstall
commands. Include the server/Runner installer scripts in the dependency
key. Replay workspace postinstall hooks after a materialized restore.
Unknown lifecycle hooks still disable reuse.
- Move attachment recovery, warm attachment, live adoption, and
suspension fixtures into separate files. Keep the large event-backlog
cases in the original file to avoid starting another expensive fixture
group at the same time. Share five stateless test helpers outside
production source.
- Extend the opt-in `profile-ci` benchmark with a PR-scoped Rust cache
producer and a fresh-host consumer. Require exact dependency/workspace
hits and reject any Cargo unit that is rebuilt. Retain the JSON build
evidence. Existing setup qualification checks real JavaScript cache
restores.
- Schedule the ten measured files over 50 seconds first, in approximate
duration order. Package CI uses up to four workers, bounded by available
CPUs; local runs retain Vitest defaults. The AWS runner has four CPUs
and 16 GiB RAM; the three-worker run averaged 44% CPU and peaked at 15%
memory. Preserve Vitest selection and shard membership and default
ordering for other files. Job count and AWS authorization are unchanged.
- Scope the optional paired server benchmark to changes in its measured
inputs. Cache-only changes qualify exact restores and run the shared
package tests using restored dependencies.
- Update the cache and test documentation and the existing native cache
contract guard.

## Verification

- All 586 `.github/scripts/tests/*.test.mjs` policy tests passed,
including cache trust and runner routing guards. Actionlint passed for
all three changed workflows.
- All 169 original top-level transport test definitions remain
byte-identical. The original file passed all 326 cases in 317.99 seconds
on this macOS host. A clean preliminary split passed the exact same
named cases in 183.01 seconds with the same four-worker cap.
- Preserve the first failed experiment: its parallel run overlapped the
policy suite and timed out in the 1,024-event settled backlog case at 60
seconds; 325 cases passed. A clean repeat passed, but that does not
establish the earlier failure's sole cause. The final layout keeps the
backlog cases in the original file. The final layout passed the same 326
cases in 186.35 seconds (41.4% faster than the 317.99-second baseline).
The original test bodies and all timeouts remain unchanged.
- Fresh-host Rust qualification passed: all 308 compilation units were
fresh, and Cargo completed in 1.59 seconds on a new runner ([final-head
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41745082837/job/126296908816)).
JavaScript setup dropped from 46 seconds cold to 23 seconds with exact
dependency/build restores; all 1,052 shared-package cases passed against
the restored tree ([final-head
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41745082837/job/126295937797)).
The previous qualification also passed (43 to 19 seconds) and confirmed
all three postinstall hooks replayed. These are qualification results,
not an end-to-end PR timing claim.
- Initial full AWS package run passed 4,907 cases with 10 existing
skips. The original-file remainder fell to 118.7 seconds, but the
100-second deadline file started last, leaving the full package at
417.43 seconds. Starting only three long files first passed 4,911 cases
(including four new sequencer guards) in 422.54 seconds, so reordering
alone did not improve full-package time. Summed file execution was 1,202
seconds across three busy workers. The final four-worker configuration
passed **4,912 cases, with the same 10 existing skips**, in **324.99
seconds**, a **23.1% reduction** from 422.54 seconds. The five added
cases guard ordering, selection, sharding, and path handling. Peak
memory was 17.95% of the 16 GiB runner; average CPU was 49.14%
([final-head package
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41745082974/job/126296339480)).
- Local workspace typecheck and build passed. The complete local `pnpm
test:run` passed all six chat partitions but reported failures in one
existing OAuth redirect case and one gateway authority case in the
general-server group. Both focused repetitions passed (three OAuth cases
and one gateway case), and a complete repeat of both files passed all
593 cases in 42.89 seconds; that does not explain the original failures.
The broad local run was stopped after 61 minutes once full final-head CI
had passed; its remaining general/workspace/serialized work was not
completed locally, and it is not reported as a pass. Original failure
logs were retained. Full final-head CI provides the complete suite
validation. Sequencer selection/shard guards and the 11-case transport
suspension smoke passed. The corrected release workflow guard passed all
71 tests.
- The first CI run failed only the policy guard that still expected the
old native cache key; downstream aggregate checks also failed. That
guard now checks the new profile/config prefix and existing
host/target/protocol suffix. A second policy run found that the new
sequencer test imported Vitest in the dependency-free policy lane; it
now runs in the Runner package lane, where all four cases pass. Greptile
reviewed final head `8011f84189` at 5/5 with no actionable findings and
confirmed this issue fixed. Final-head policy, typecheck, build, and
review passed. At 23:52:46 UTC on November 3, several AWS jobs were
terminated together: the Runner package process received SIGTERM and
browser logs recorded a runner shutdown signal. The failed/cancelled
jobs passed on the same-head retry, including required `ci / verify`; no
assertion or timeout was changed in response. The final concurrency
adjustment at `fe5a69bb0b` also received Greptile 5/5 with no actionable
findings. Final-head required CI, including `ci / verify`, passed
([aggregate](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41745082974/job/126300554711)).
Local timings exclude install, build, cache transfer, and CI queue time.

## Risks

A new Rust key needs one successful canonical master build before
ordinary PRs can hit it. The fresh-host qualification uses separate
PR-scoped entries. Parallel test files can increase I/O contention; case
execution inside each file, timeouts, and assertions are unchanged. Two
extracted suites exceed 1,000 lines because they retain existing
multi-stage recovery fixtures unchanged; one parameterized fixture alone
is 1,059 lines. No production execution logic, lockfile, credentials,
runner trust gates, or required check is removed.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository editing, command
execution, and GitHub inspection. The host does not expose a more
precise model snapshot or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip fbb7055b90 fix(runner): keep activity FIFOs out of Codex writable roots (#18886)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their work.
> - Runner owns each provider process and its activity channel.
> - Codex Plan mode uses a restricted filesystem policy.
> - Runner adds its activity FIFO as a writable filesystem root.
> - Codex adds protected metadata paths beneath each writable root.
> - A FIFO cannot contain those paths, so the Linux helper fails before
useful work starts.
> - This pull request grants access through the private activity
directory and keeps discovery files read-only.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18050. The activity channel came from that change. No existing
FIFO-mount repair was found. #18853 repairs interrupted preparation
recovery; it does not change this provider filesystem policy.

**What happened?**

A native Codex Plan session can fail while loading AGENTS.md
instructions. The filesystem helper tries to inspect
`activity.fifo/.aws` and fails with `Not a directory`. This happens
before the provider can produce the requested plan.

**Expected behavior**

The sandbox must load permitted instructions and allow activity-channel
writes. Plan mode must still reject workspace writes and private state
access.

**Steps to reproduce**

Use the ignored `read_only_codex_opens_with_runtime_activity` regression
in the Runner Rust suite with the source-pinned Linux Codex executable
and its matching bubblewrap resource. The fixture calls the actual
activity channel producer and policy projection. On the original
producer it exits 101 with the FIFO metadata-mount panic. With this
change it exits 0.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Original producer reproduced at
208bda1a0e. The local native artifact is
official Codex 0.160.0 for Linux arm64, which matches the source pin.
The failing hosted executable version was not independently available
from its normal run records.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with Linux Codex. Verification used an isolated local
Linux container with no network, credentials, or model call.

## What Changed

- Grant writes to the Runner-created private activity-channel directory
instead of using its FIFO as a filesystem root.
- Keep the lock, descriptor, and helper read-only. Keep the existing
network, workspace, environment, and active-run authority policies.
- Add actual channel isolation coverage and a pinned executable
regression. The latter also checks FIFO bytes, instruction reads,
workspace write denial, private-state and synthetic credential-home
denial, descriptor and lock write denial, lock removal denial, and
ambient-variable filtering.
- Document the native sandbox check and the separate fixture-export
path. Export alone does not verify the sandbox.

## Verification

- Actual producer plus official Linux Codex 0.160.0 and matching
bubblewrap: original producer exits 101 with the FIFO `.aws` panic;
changed producer exits 0 with all permission checks and exact FIFO
output verified.
- `cargo test --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml runtime_notification --lib
--offline`: 8 passed, 2 manual sandbox fixtures ignored.
- `cargo test --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml codex_provider::tests --lib
--offline`: 30 passed.
- `cargo build --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml --bin paperclip-runnerd
--offline`: passed.
- Cargo format and diff checks passed.
- A broader optional local Rust library sweep did not pass in the
restricted macOS host. Three filesystem-monitor tests failed and another
did not finish; the owned sweep was bounded and stopped. A
socket-identity fixture also failed with EPERM. A representative monitor
failure and the socket failure were repeated with the unchanged original
producer. Their failures are retained and are not claimed fixed by this
PR.
- The existing ignored
`publisher_crosses_real_codex_tool_boundary_without_runner_state_access`
fixture was not executed successfully on the final head. Its stale
channel-directory denial was corrected after Greptile review. The
separate actual-producer Linux sandbox fixture verifies exact FIFO bytes
and permission denials; it does not call `record-activity`.
- Full local pnpm typecheck/test/build was not run for this Rust-only
change. Required technical CI passes on
fd4da0bf5e. Greptile is 5/5. The automatic
Paperclip Review remains queued; merge is held for that review. No
hosted task recovery or provider turn is claimed.

## Risks

The writable grant now covers the process-private channel directory. The
descriptor remains outside that grant. The lock has an explicit
read-only mount inside it. Native sandbox checks verify the lock cannot
be written or removed. Existing tests retain authority rotation,
stale-context rejection, malformed input bounds, and fixed-path cleanup
after endpoint replacement.

The retained startup error also mentions a loopback permission error.
This change fixes the independently reproduced FIFO-root defect. It does
not prove that every hosted namespace capability is healthy.
Preconfigured-home and custom policies retain their existing explicit
deny rules.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`) in Codex, with source editing,
terminal execution, and tool use. The host did not report its
context-window size.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 4e29f00139 fix(native): keep settled ACPX sessions across Runner upgrades and run scheduled resumes (#18879)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner keeps one ACPX provider conversation across the
per-turn runs of a task. Each run cold-attaches the session that the
previous run settled.
> - The saved ACPX state binds the digest of the launch profile that
wrote it. Every deploy ships a new provider pack, so that digest
changes.
> - After a deploy, the next run of such a task fails `run.attach` with
`ACPX durable launch profile digest does not match runner startup`.
Every same-run retry fails the same way.
> - On one instance this happened seven times. Six tasks used their
retry budget and ended blocked, or in progress with no runner. In the
seventh, the scheduled same-run resume never ran at all: the task stayed
`in_progress` with nothing running, and its monitor did not fire.
> - This pull request re-binds a settled session to the upgraded launch
profile, types the remaining mismatches so the server stops retrying
them, and makes a scheduled remote resume survive the stale-lock sweep.
> - The benefit is that a task continues its conversation after a
deploy. When it cannot, it stops with a clear next action instead of
stalling.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18846, #18847, #18854 and #18860 (nearby native recovery changes).
Refs #15795, an open change to the same stale-lock sweep function. It
changes run teardown, not lock cleanup, so a second merge needs at most
a small rebase.

**What happened?**

A per-turn native task used provider `acpx` with Claude, driver
`acpx_runtime`, on a remote sandbox.

1. Run A succeeded and settled its provider session. The next run with
the same build cold-attached it.
2. The instance deployed a new build.
3. A board approval woke run B in a fresh sandbox. Run B failed after
about five minutes: `native_session_recovery_failed: Error: PRP command
run.attach failed: {...
"result":{"code":"command_execution_failed","message":"ACPX durable
launch profile digest does not match runner startup"}}`.
4. The coordinator recorded `retryable_failure`, attempt 1,
`native_session_interrupted`, recovery mode `exact_checkpoint_resume`,
recovery state `resuming_session`, and a retry 30 seconds later.
5. Two seconds after the failure, the stale-lock sweep cleared the
task's execution and checkout locks, because run B was `failed`.
6. Forty minutes later the attempt was still 1. The scheduled monitor
had not fired. The task stayed `in_progress` with nothing running.

**Expected behavior**

A session that the previous run settled continues after a deploy. If it
cannot continue, the run stops at once with a clear next action. A
scheduled resume either runs or fails visibly.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Save a suspended ACPX session under one launch profile.
2. Change the sidecar bytes and the provider-pack authority at the same
paths.
3. Cold-attach the next run in a new runner. Restore fails with the
digest mismatch.
4. For the stall: leave a remote native run `failed` with a due
`retryable_failure` coordinator, run the stale-lock sweep, then run
restart recovery for that run. It returns `blocked:
issue_execution_lock_changed` and writes nothing.

The new Rust and PostgreSQL tests run these steps.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `b0c4e345267`.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner, per-turn lifecycle, remote sandbox. The re-bind applies
to every ACPX agent with an ordinary startup.

## What Changed

### Root causes

- **Upgrade failure.** `AcpxLaunchProfile::canonical_digest` hashes the
provider-pack authority, the sidecar command and arguments, each
artifact path and SHA-256, and any candidate admission. For a remote
sandbox the authority is the provider-pack manifest digest, which covers
the Runner source revision and dist digest. So every deploy changes it.
`AcpxDurableState` stores only the digest, and `validate()` rejects any
difference. Only a Kimi candidate run binding had a carve-out.
- **Silent stall.** The failure write keeps the task locks for
`retryable_failure` and clears them only for `terminal_failure`. The
stale-lock sweep treats any `failed` run as cleanable, so it cleared
them. A remote retry goes through `claimNativeRestartRecoveries`. That
claim requires `issues.execution_run_id` to name the run, so it returned
`blocked: issue_execution_lock_changed` with no coordinator write and no
deadline. The live recovery queue then dropped the entry. The local
claim (`claimNativeSessionResumptions`) already reclaims a free lock, so
only remote runs stalled.
- **Monitor.** `noActiveNativeMonitorRun` holds a task's monitor while
any native run for it has a coordinator that is not `committed` or
`terminal_failure`. Run B's `retryable_failure` held it. That is by
design; it ends when the resume runs.

### Runner (Rust)

- `rebinds_settled_session` in `acpx_provider_backend.rs`. Restore
re-binds a saved session to the current launch profile only when all of
these are true:
- The lifecycle is `suspended` and an identity exists. There is no
active turn, pending runtime request, undelivered provider event, or
unconfirmed provider exit.
  - The startup has no candidate admission.
- The saved descriptor's sidecar command and arguments equal this
startup's.
- Any other digest mismatch keeps failing with the same message, plus
`classification: "provider_state_incompatible"` in the durable command
result. `DurableRunnerError` carries an optional closed classification
for this.
- A saved descriptor that names an agent release this build does not
qualify (ACPX version, agent server package or version, or command
digest) also gets the class. `validate_session()` and its message are
unchanged; restore only adds the class.

### Runner (TypeScript)

- `runnerRecoveryFailureClass` reads the classification from the
authenticated `runnerCommandResult`. The Codex app-server driver (which
also drives ACPX through runnerd) and `HarnessDriverBackend` pass it on
as `failureClass`.
- If replacement after a failed resume is not allowed,
`executeNativeSession` throws `NativeProviderStateIncompatibleError`
(message unchanged: `native_session_recovery_failed: ...`). If
replacement is allowed, the existing path opens a fresh session in the
same run, as before.

### Server

- `nativeSessionFailureSourceCode` maps that error class to
`native_provider_state_incompatible` with `instanceof`, not text. The
disposition is permanent: `terminal_failure` at once, the task blocks,
and the board owns the recovery action. Its next action says that a
Retry continues in a fresh provider session with the same workspace.
- `findNativeSessionResumeRun` also returns the barrier's `errorCode`.
`rebindNativeSessionCheckpoint` does not resume a source with
`native_provider_state_incompatible`. The existing fallback in
`buildNativeExecutionWithCheckpoint` then starts a fresh normalized
session with the full task bootstrap.
- `sweepStaleIssueLocks` keeps both locks while a referenced run's
coordinator owns a result-less `retryable_failure`, unless the task is
done or cancelled. Its update also requires that no referenced run has a
live status at the write, because a resume claim can return the run to
running after the status read.
- `claimNativeRestartRecoveries` reclaims a free execution lock for a
`retryable_failure` resume, like the local claim does, when the checkout
lock is free or held by this run and no other run for the task is
queued, running or scheduled. It records
`native.recovery.execution_reclaimed`. A lock held by another run still
blocks.
- Docs: `packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md` and
`doc/execution-semantics.md`.

### Safety argument for the re-bind

What the binding protects, and what this change keeps:

- **Candidate admission** carries company, model, platform and expiry
authority. A candidate startup never re-binds. The Kimi run-binding
carve-out and all candidate rejections are unchanged.
- **The agent that loads the conversation** stays exact. `validate()`
runs on the saved descriptor before the digest check and requires this
build's qualified agent profile: ACPX version, agent server package and
version, and `commandDigest`. The saved identity must still match that
profile and the provider mode.
- **In-flight provider work** is never re-bound. A turn, runtime
request, undelivered event or unconfirmed exit keeps the strict binding,
so no old provider process or request continues under a new build. The
next launch only loads a settled conversation.
- **Launch shape.** A changed sidecar command path or arguments still
rejects. Only the content at the same paths may change.
- **Artifacts** are not trusted from the saved state. The current
profile comes from the trusted controller at startup, and session start
verifies every artifact's bytes and the restored provider identity, as
before.

What changes: a new provider-pack authority, or new sidecar or Node
bytes, at the same paths no longer invalidates a settled conversation.
The saved digest cannot show which part changed, so the rule does not
depend on it. I did not add state fields to tell authority changes from
artifact changes, because the rule would treat both the same.

One existing assertion changes.
`released_kimi_cold_restore_rejects_candidate_injection_and_changed_full_profile`
expected a settled ordinary Kimi session to reject a changed authority,
artifact digest, or saved digest. Those three cases moved to a new
positive test. Command, arguments, every candidate grant field, a
missing profile and run binding still reject.

### How a task in the reported state recovers after this deploys

The task has old-digest saved state, a `retryable_failure` coordinator
at attempt 1, and cleared locks.

1. Startup recovery, and the live recovery queue, run restart recovery
for the due run. It reclaims the free execution lock and claims the run.
The resume runs now.
2. Run B's failed `run.attach` is a durable outcome of B's exact run
authority. If the resume replays that outcome instead of executing it
again, it fails with the old, untyped text. The remaining attempts then
fail the same way, and the run ends `terminal_failure` with
`native_session_retry_exhausted`. The task blocks with a board recovery
action. This takes about a minute.
3. If the task blocks, press **Retry** once. Retry selects run B as the
source (it has process identity and controller evidence, so the #18860
skip does not apply) and rebinds B's checkpoint, which holds A's
provider session. The new run cold-attaches under the new Runner, and
restore re-binds the old digest because the session is suspended and
quiescent. The conversation continues. Run B's failed attach never wrote
the state file, so the state is still A's settled state.
4. Tasks that already exhausted their retries (blocked, or in progress
after `native_session_retry_exhausted`) need the same single Retry.
Their earlier attempts ran under the old Runner.

Wait for the task to show blocked before pressing Retry. A Retry pressed
while the resume is running joins that run.

## Verification

- Rust, failing first:
`settled_session_rebinds_to_the_upgraded_runner_launch_profile` failed
on `master` with the production message.
`unsettled_or_relocated_session_keeps_the_strict_launch_binding` failed
on the missing classification. Both pass now.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --no-fail-fast`: all 41 test
binaries pass. The library has 471 passed and 1 ignored.
- `cargo fmt --check`, and `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner
typecheck` (TypeScript, generated contracts, `cargo check`): pass.
- Server, failing first: `native-scheduled-resume-lock.test.ts`
(PostgreSQL). On `master` the sweep cleared the locks and restart
recovery returned `issue_execution_lock_changed`. Both negative controls
(another run's lock, a queued run) already passed. All four tests pass
now.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`: pass.
- Runner vitest (`src/native-session-runtime.test.ts`, `src/backends`,
`src/drivers/codex`, `src/drivers/provider-failure.test.ts`,
`src/live/runnerd-codex-transport*.test.ts`,
`src/control-plane/acpx-controller-recovery.test.ts`): 31 files, 1,011
tests pass. New: the typed error when same-session recovery is required,
and the recovery class reader and pass-through.
- Server vitest: the native executor, status corpus and provider-pack
admission suites (1,268 tests) pass. New: the classifier makes the typed
error permanent, and the same text stays retryable. Checkpoint selection
returns `errorCode`, and an incompatible source starts a fresh session
with the same workspace (unit and PostgreSQL).
- Server vitest over the recovery area: stale-lock sweep, native
resumption, process recovery, failed-workspace recovery, restart
recovery (integration, diskless, preparation), controller recovery,
startup retry, startup cleanup, recovered-owner follow-up, session
resume, runtime selection and recovery deadlines. 926 passed. Four
`heartbeat-process-recovery` tests failed in that loaded run. Three pass
when I run them alone. `redacts opaque environment-bound credentials
from Sentry diagnostics: result` fails the same way on unmodified
`master` on this host (a local environment value is redacted).
- Review round 1: a new sweep test returns the run to running before the
clear. It cleared the locks without the write recheck and keeps them
with it. The strict Rust restore test covers an older agent server
release and an older ACPX release. The ACPX backend and durable runner
unit tests, the lock, sweep, resume projection and controller recovery
suites, `cargo fmt --check` and the server typecheck pass. In the second
full cargo run, the two `stdio_mcp` relay tests timed out waiting 5 s
for a child exit on this loaded host. They do not use the changed code
and passed in the first full run.
- After the rebase onto the current `master`: the new lock test,
failed-workspace recovery, stale-lock sweep and session resume suites
pass (189 tests). Server typecheck, `pnpm check:module-boundaries` and
`git diff --check` pass.
- CI on `929ef4508d2`: in the first run, `isolated-repository-rehome`
hit its 15 s test timeout, `idle-completed-history` could not reach its
fixture runtime service, and e2e shard 3 was cancelled by a runner
shutdown. A rerun of the failed jobs passed. All 55 checks pass.
- Not verified: a live remote sandbox deploy, and whether run B's
same-run resume replays its recorded `run.attach` failure or executes it
again. The Retry path is tested at source selection and checkpoint
rebind (server) and at cold attach (Runner). It is not tested end to end
through a sandbox.

## Risks

- A settled session now continues under new sidecar bytes. If a sidecar
change made an old ACPX record unreadable, session start fails as any
failed resume does. It does not corrupt state, and the run follows its
normal recovery policy.
- The sweep now keeps locks for a failed native run with a scheduled
resume. If that resume can never be claimed (for example the agent stays
paused), the task keeps the lock until the coordinator settles or the
task closes. Before, the sweep cleared it, and the resume still never
ran.
- If another run holds the task's lock, a scheduled remote resume still
stays blocked and the coordinator stays `retryable_failure`. This change
does not settle that case. It needs a separate decision about
superseding the resume.
- `native_provider_state_incompatible` is a new failure code. No UI or
migration change is needed. Older servers never see it.
- No schema migration.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) through Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, file edits, test runs). The runtime does not expose the context
window or reasoning configuration.

DottaandPaperclip 8771606fd8 test(e2e): cover browser task editing and reopening (#18782)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage tasks and agent work.
> - Daily QA uses reusable Product E2E journeys against a named target.
> - Existing task journeys cover creation and assignment.
> - They lack saved title and label edits across completion and
reopening.
> - This pull request adds one browser-only lifecycle journey with
independent saved-state checks.
> - It also puts shared registry entries on separate lines so
independent case PRs can use distinct insertion points.
> - The registry formatting preserves every token, value, entry order
and case body.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #18655.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Product E2E coverage of ordinary task editing and completion.

**Current behavior**

The reusable catalog covers task creation and assignment. It lacks one
journey that edits a task, reloads it, completes it and reopens it while
retaining its saved context. Several shared registries put all entries
on one line, so independent case additions conflict.

**Proposed behavior**

Create a task assigned to the signed-in person. Edit its title and
create one label through the visible UI. Change its status to In
Progress, reload it, mark it Done, reload it, reopen it to Todo and
reload it again. Require the exact saved task and label throughout.
Preserve its description, assignee, project and priority. Allow no agent
run or model usage. Put the existing shared registry entries on separate
lines without changing their contents or order.

## What Changed

- Add `task-edit-lifecycle` and six required checks for browser
creation, saved edits, reload, completion and reopening, preserved
context and no agent work.
- Add valid, wrong and missing evidence controls. Retain allowlisted
observations and bounded GET failure receipts in private evidence.
- Register the case, feature associations, catalog expectation,
source-hash inputs and browser-only result validation.
- Extend target ownership for run-owned labels and one exact predeclared
title change. Require compatible scoped cleanup before selecting the
case.
- Open the real side panel or Properties control when needed. Exclude
inert and aria-hidden Labels rows and require visible readback. Document
inline title editing and the case prerequisites.
- Keep priority editing disabled. Verify that the saved priority remains
unchanged.
- Keep Cursor test observations outside its existing Stop deadline,
preserve the full rejection/Stop overlap matrix and add pre-release
no-provider-call controls. Production behavior and deadline values stay
unchanged.
- Format five shared registry files with one entry per line: the
JourneyId and AgentJourney unions, definition filenames, expected
catalog IDs and agent run counts. No registry entry moves in this PR.

## Verification

- Current head is `d1af3aae3712455c90db937fa7a5141555710506`. Its only
change from integrated head d40f28 is the Cursor driver test-fixture
ordering repair described below. The prior normal merge consumes actual
master `d59791828482f213713ca55000c40e6c9c6c03e5`, including reviewed UI
repair #18848 and the existing idle-history fixture repair from #18853.
It has both real parents, no conflicts and the required trailer. All
seven lifecycle case/oracle/catalog/documentation blobs and six selected
registry constructs remain exact 10625b. The idle-history fixture is
byte-identical to master. The PR diff has 13 paths, including the one
Cursor test file, and no feature-map or production-driver changes.
- 167 focused tests pass across catalog, target contracts, agent
evidence, lifecycle evidence and observation reads. E2E TypeScript and
credential-free discovery of21 Product E2E cases pass. The real merged
idle-history and exposure-reservation suites pass all 109 tests in132
seconds, including the owned HTTP-process adoption assertion and
explicit unknown-listener denial/drift controls. Canonical shared/SDK,
database and Runner TypeScript dependencies were rebuilt for the changed
master inputs. All4,220 tracked package/script/root inputs and 4,954
dependency outputs are recorded; the outputs remain unchanged after the
tests and browser journey. The first database build stopped because
child PATH selected a different global pnpm and its version switch could
not fetch signed metadata. The preserved attempt made no package or
source change. Using the already-installed verified pnpm9 on child PATH
passed. No install, Rust or provider-build global setup ran.
- One fresh canonical managed-local browser journey passes on exact
d40f28: all six checks and authentication, setup, journey, collection
and cleanup pass. Cleanup releases the disposable instance. The journey
takes 12.059 seconds and has explicit zero-run readback at all five
saved states. Its runtime commit isd40f28. Definition hash is
`f262707de2e544cecdb9c5c4c5222d61f04a122575b438658dec069e1a93f9cb`. The
prior10625b local6-check/5-phase pass remains separately recorded with
its own source and definition hash.
- A real closed-panel control previously reproduced the original
label-interaction failure using only the presentation preference
`paperclip:panel-visible=false`. The corrected journey passed all six
unchanged checks through an ordinary Show properties click. A separate
canonical743 local run passed all six checks and five phases with
released cleanup. No domain outcome was supplied by that control.
- A separate QA staging qualification passed all six checks and five
phases on exact743, with closed cleanup and verified zero agent work.
That original pass remains bound to743. It is not regraded or relabeled
as a staging run of10625b. Daily admission remains a separate
coordinator action.
- Earlier material failures remain part of the verification record. The
first managed-local setup failed before authentication with an embedded
PostgreSQL exit code of null; its original cause remains unresolved. A
later loader diagnostic found missing library aliases in this isolated
checkout. Existing bundled libraries were hash-verified and the aliases
were restored only there. Subsequent real runs exposed an overlong label
name, a status picker name mismatch and the closed-panel issue. Each
failed result and cleanup record is retained. The fixes preserve the
full campaign name, validate the production48-character label limit
before mutations, and use the actual visible controls.
- Original full CI
[41652807327](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41652807327)
failed an unchanged Discord fixture assertion, attention-retention
fixture limits and the CLI import/export startup limit. One bounded
recheck recovered Discord but repeated the other failures. The reviewed
merged retention-fixture repair was consumed normally through #18770.
Full CI
[41667811850](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41667811850)
passed all E2E shards but exposed inbox/account-fixture failures. This
branch consumed the actual reviewed repairs from #18798 and #18799.
Original logs and failed assertions remain retained; no timeout or
oracle was weakened.
- Original743 CI
[41682757346](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41682757346)
failed the unchanged CLI suite's30-second child-server startup hook. A
bounded local phase probe passed the same startup oracle but did not
prove the original CI cause. One coordinator-approved official recheck
followed. Timestamp comparison shows46 non-skipped jobs retained their
original start and end times; only the failed CLI job and final
aggregate have new start and end times. The skipped selection job
remains unclassified. New GitHub job IDs alone did not prove new
executions. The original startup failure remains preserved and its cause
remains unproven.
- Formatting-head CI
[41726104217](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41726104217)
failed the upstream idle-history process-adoption test and dependent
verify job:46 jobs passed, one was skipped and two failed. Its actual
synthetic checkout had parents masterf187 and10625b; the failed test is
absent from 10625b itself. The assertion expected one adopted process
and received zero. A pure production-function control proves a
conditional reserved-port drift path, but the actual failed CI port and
full reconciliation counters were not logged. The actual CI cause
remains unproven. This branch consumes the already-reviewed bounded
fixture-port repair in #18853 through its normal actual-master merge.
The original failure is retained. No unchanged-code retry, timeout
increase, skipped assertion or ownership-policy change was used.
- Integrated-head CI
[41730231620](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41730231620)
passed the formerly failing server1/12 lane, Typecheck, Build and E2E.
It failed the Cursor package fixture below and the dependent verify job.
A separate server4/12 job lost runner communication; the exact runner
instance and Spot-request readback confirm a capacity interruption. Its
unavailable log is not treated as a test pass. The original failures
remain retained. No old-head retry was made.
- The Cursor fixture sets a 300 ms cancellation budget, holds a
rejected-create checkpoint and originally performed directory/file
observations while that clock ran. Controlled400ms observation latency
on the original fixture reproduces the same fenced Stop error. The same
diagnostic passes after moving file observations before the cancellation
clock, or while the initial Stop-checkpoint gate still prevents it from
starting. The driver,300ms configuration and timeout negatives are
unchanged. Every original assertion AST remains, and three new
assertions forbid provider observation/cancel calls before releasing the
checkpoint. All81 driver tests,12 client tests and43 checkpoint-archive
tests pass; Runner TypeScript build and E2E TypeScript pass. The actual
CI inner error and observation duration were not logged, so its precise
original cause remains unproven.
- Final d1af3a full CI
[41733938939](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41733938939)
attempt3 is successful. Attempt1 lost four exact-bound Spot runners;
attempt2 recovered the Runner and both server lanes but lost the
replacement E2E runner to another confirmed Spot capacity interruption.
Two separate coordinator-authorized official failed-job rechecks were
recorded. Attempt3 passed the E2E path and final aggregate. Successful
executions retain their original timestamps; new job IDs alone were not
used as proof of re-execution. All original failures remain retained.
- Fresh Greptile check126258142754 completed successfully on exact
d1af3a with 5/5 and zero unresolved threads. Full recursive workspace
typecheck, all workspace tests and the full build were not repeated
locally; the corresponding hosted full CI gates pass.

## Risks

The case requires target support for `label` ownership and scoped
`taskEdit.revisedTitle` cleanup. Older target adapters must not select
it. Cleanup must reconcile lost creation responses and exact predeclared
title saves without touching other resources.

Registry formatting changes the harness definition hash because that
hash includes source bytes. Historical runs must keep their original
source and hash. The formatting does not change runtime values, order,
dispatch, case checks or product behavior. Later case PRs must verify
their actual merge resolutions and final-head checks before admission.

## Model Used

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