DottaandPaperclip cbd278dc03 fix(interactions): derive chat recipients and validate explicit users (#14742)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Agents use saved questions to get human input and continue the same
task.
> - The standard question example recently told models to copy a user
ID.
> - A model can omit an identity prefix and create a question its
intended recipient cannot answer.
> - Agent Chat already knows the conversation owner, so the server can
supply that identity.
> - This pull request removes the blanket instruction and validates
explicit recipients before saving.
> - Ordinary questions stay simple, and explicit addressing remains
available for decisions that need a particular person.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14707, #14188. Related: #14238 handles legacy email recipients;
this change prevents invalid recipients in new cards and retains exact
ID matching.

**What happened?**

A model copied a Cloud user ID without its prefix into
`addresseeUserId`. Creation succeeded. The intended user's answer then
failed the exact recipient check.

**Expected behavior**

Ordinary chat questions use the saved conversation owner. A task may
optionally name a specific recipient. The API rejects an unknown or
unauthorized recipient before it creates a card.

**Steps to reproduce**

Create a chat question for a user whose ID is `paperclip-id:example`.
Supply `example` as the addressee. Before this change, creation accepts
the invalid recipient and the owner cannot answer. With this change,
creation returns 422. Omitting the field saves the full owner ID and
allows that owner to answer.

## What Changed

- Remove `addresseeUserId` from standard question examples and remove
the blanket requester-ID instruction.
- Derive the recipient of ordinary chat questions from the persisted
conversation owner. Reject conflicting explicit user IDs.
- Keep explicit task recipients optional. Validate supplied user IDs
with the existing board mutation policy, including company, viewer, and
Cloud restrictions.
- Preserve explicit agent routing, connector intents, confirmations,
exact recipient checks, idempotent retries, and no-login local-board
authority in local-trusted mode.
- Update the blocker grader to accept an omitted recipient and verify
the actual requester answered.
- Add database and HTTP tests for prefixed identities, denied
recipients, concurrent retries, saved answers, and response delivery.

## Verification

- Database interaction service suite: 90 tests passed, including
implicit local-board creation/answering and authenticated/Cloud denial.
- Interaction HTTP route suite: 84 tests passed.
- Affected interaction/native/connector/documentation suites: 231 tests
passed across six files after valid-user fixtures were updated.
- Resolver and interaction unit suites: 29 tests passed.
- Product E2E unit/calibration suite: 793 tests passed; Product E2E
typecheck and blocker catalog discovery passed.
- Generated API-reference and capability contract checks passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` did not finish green: its initial
general-server pass had 14,416 passing assertions, one unrelated
native-resume assertion failure on macOS, and three teardowns from an
intermediate fixture cleanup fixed above. Separate broad local groups
also encountered timeout/live-port failures under host load. Local UI
(7,026), CLI (502), shared (817), and skills-catalog (20) tests passed;
the complete final-head CI matrix is the broad verification gate.
- After two CI cold-start readiness timeouts, a separate test-only
commit gives the first exposure lifecycle fixture the existing normal
30-second readiness budget. Its real HTTP, ordering, and cleanup
assertions remain intact; the targeted case and final Linux CI shard
passed. Production deadlines are unchanged.
- A separate OpenCode fixture failed twice on GitHub-hosted Ubuntu
because its cached Node executable was group-writable; the same case
passed on AWS runners. The fixture now qualifies its own Linux copy with
mode `0500` and the actual copy digest. Host files and production
security checks are unchanged. The focused macOS case passed; the new
Linux-copy branch also passed on the final AWS-hosted Linux runner
(1,125 passing Runner tests, 3 skipped). The final run was not on a
GitHub-hosted runner.
- Final-head [CI run
36762078176](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36762078176)
passed for `116b968b24fa0a8c5724a7bf96e73a8dda5f0425`: 54 successful
checks and two conditional Storybook skips, with no pending or failed
checks. The 27 general/serialized test jobs reported 28,635 passing
tests. Typecheck, build, Runner, browser E2E, and Canary gates passed.
Greptile reviewed that exact head at 5/5; both review threads are
resolved, with no open follow-ups.
- No live provider replay is claimed by this PR.

## Risks

- New explicitly addressed cards reject users who cannot mutate the
issue, including viewers, inactive members, and invalid IDs. Callers
that supplied invalid recipients must correct their request.
- Existing addressed cards are not rewritten. Existing authorization
checks remain strict.
- Chat inference applies only to questions without an agent addressee.
Connector intents and governed confirmations retain their own recipient
paths.
- No schema change or migration is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 (exact serving variant and context window are not
exposed in this environment). Used reasoning, tool use, code editing,
and test execution.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 6681c71b40 fix(ci): stabilize chat startup and close the initial live-update gap (#13895)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Browser tests check chat state across navigation, reload, and agent
runs.
> - Runtime tests check that a service is ready before Paperclip
publishes its address.
> - CI for #13891 failed in these paths, then passed attempt 3 with the
same code.
> - The browser traces stopped during development asset startup. A
separate sidebar assertion used an unstable focus path through the rich
editor.
> - This PR gives browser tests fresh built assets and a direct keyboard
path to the star button. It adds service-worker reload coverage under
CPU throttling.
> - A later browser failure exposed a real reload race: comments can
change between the first query and the first live subscription. The UI
now refreshes active queries when that subscription opens.
> - Runtime fixtures now have separate registry state and better failure
evidence. The readiness deadline remains unchanged.
> - A later CI run exposed a wall-clock backoff assertion and three
authorization cases sharing one test lifecycle. The PR anchors the
assertion to transport time and separates the cases.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13891. Related runtime ownership and cleanup work: #11791, #11389,
#11278.

Evidence: [original CI run, attempt
3](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35910335089/attempts/3).
Attempt 3 passed both affected shards without code changes. This PR is
separate from the wake-payload change, which has since merged.

| Failure | Diagnosis and classification |
| --- | --- |
| Sidebar blank page and retry text missing after reload in CI | Both
traces show a blank document before React startup. Vite connects, but
the failing page makes no application API requests. The service worker
forwards the unbundled development module graph. The retry response is
already stored and its process-adapter run succeeded before reload. This
places the failure in browser bootstrap, not wake payload or reply
persistence. The exact reason the development module graph stopped is
not established by the retained trace. The harness now serves built
assets, and the new test covers startup and controlled reload at 4x CPU
throttling. |
| Star opacity remains zero on macOS | Reproduced on unchanged master
`f55759942b`. The old test clicked the rich editor, focused the star,
then used Tab and Shift+Tab. An instrumented baseline run captured the
sequence: Tab moved from the star to the next sidebar link, then the
editor bundle called `focus()` on its contenteditable before Shift+Tab.
That key reached the composer, where it is a work-mode shortcut. This
confirms a pending editor selection update stole focus; it was not the
browser skipping sidebar buttons. The assertion did not prove the star
retained focus. The test now moves the pointer away, focuses the
preceding sidebar link, presses Tab once, and asserts both actual focus
and opacity. This is test synchronization and keyboard traversal, not a
demonstrated CSS defect. |
| Runtime readiness exceeds 10 seconds | The old error only says `fetch
failed`. There is no child startup output in that failure, so it cannot
distinguish slow process startup from a refused or stalled probe. It
passed unchanged locally and took 3.416 seconds in attempt 3. Resource
contention is plausible but unproved. This PR does not claim a proven
historical runtime root cause: it isolates fixture registry/log files,
checks ports before spawn and after stop, checks live backends at
publication, and preserves transport errors, probe count, elapsed time,
and fixture startup timestamps for the next occurrence. |
| Later CI: recovery reply disappears after reload | Product
synchronization bug, distinct from the blank-page bootstrap failure.
Reproduced locally with a trace: the comments request started at
`21:56:07.443`, the server saved the reply at `.520`, and the first live
subscription started at `.541`. The reload fetched a successful run and
its complete log, but missed the comment event. The provider refreshed
after reconnects only. It now refreshes active queries on the first
connection too. A deterministic regression test fails before the fix. No
browser assertion was changed. |
| Later CI: Slack backoff and authorization tests | The 30-second
backoff assertion required more than 25 seconds to remain when it read
the saved action. CI spent 10.311 seconds in the test, exceeding that
five-second allowance. A local six-second read delay reproduces the
failure; the new transport-anchored lower and upper bounds pass the same
fault injection. The neighbouring authorization test ran three
independent fixtures in one test and timed out at 15 seconds. Each case
now has its own fixture cleanup and the normal per-test deadline, so
earlier cases do not remain active during later global worker sweeps. No
specific production slow call was established. |
| Self-hosted runner loses communication or shuts down | The original
lost-communication failure has no assertion. On final-head [attempt
1](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35925901613/attempts/1),
Build, Runner Vitest 1/2, and chat 2/3 ran on three separate fleet
instances. All received a runner shutdown signal at `22:04:55 UTC`,
within 35 milliseconds, then cancellation. Server shard 6/12 received
the same shutdown signal one minute later. All four were Spot
`m7i-flex.xlarge` instances in `us-east-1a`. No test assertion or build
error preceded those stops. This is infrastructure interruption; the
reason the fleet stopped the runners is not available in job logs. |

## What Changed

- Build the browser fixture UI into the static server's preferred
directory, `server/ui-dist`, and disable Vite middleware. Ignore these
generated assets. Start the source CLI directly from the repository
root, as required by the CLI invocation safety contract.
- Keep all existing chat assertions. Add first takeover and three
service-worker-controlled reloads under CPU throttling. Assert that the
page uses built module assets and that opening it creates no chat task.
- Use forward keyboard traversal from the Zeta link to its star. Check
focus before checking the reveal style.
- Give each runtime exposure test a temporary Paperclip home and restore
environment state after process cleanup.
- Check that reserved ports are free before spawn, serve the fixture
response before exposure, and become free after stop.
- Include the nested fetch error, probe count, and elapsed time in
readiness failures. Add a unit test for this diagnostic contract.
- Refresh active queries when the first live connection opens, covering
events missed during initial page loading. Keep reconnect toast
suppression unchanged.
- Measure Slack retry timing from the transport attempt and recovery
completion. This checks the full provider-requested delay without
spending a small wall-clock allowance on unrelated processing.
- Run each Slack authorization-revocation scenario as a separate test,
with cleanup between cases. All assertions remain.
- Document the browser fixture's build and serving mode. No configured
assertion deadline, readiness deadline, retry count, or skip was added.

## Verification

- Final-head [Linux CI, attempt
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35925901613/attempts/2):
**green**. All 52 check runs passed; two conditional checks were
skipped. The legacy Snyk status also passed. No pending or failed checks
remain.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm build` passed again after the final UI fix.
- Focused runtime suites: 38 passed, 3 existing platform skips.
- CLI invocation safety suite: 39 passed.
- Slack timing negative control: inserting a six-second delay before
reading the saved action fails the old assertion. All four revised
authorization/backoff cases pass with that same delay. The diagnostic
delay is not committed.
- Live update suites: 92 passed, including the new regression. UI
typecheck and token gates passed.
- Recovery browser negative control: the unchanged tests reproduced the
missing reply (1 failed, 9 passed). After the first-connection fix, all
six recovery paths passed twice (12 passed). Browser assertions and
deadlines are unchanged.
- Server typecheck passed after the Slack test adjustment.
- `GITHUB_WORKFLOW=PR pnpm test:run:general -- --group general-chat
--shard-index 0 --shard-count 3`: 342 passed. The other 682 tests belong
to the remaining shards; collection verified exact coverage.
- Final direct-source CLI launch: all five chat session tests passed.
- `PAPERCLIP_E2E_PORT=32993 PAPERCLIP_PLAYWRIGHT_CHANNEL=chrome pnpm
exec playwright test --config tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts
tests/e2e/agent-chat-sessions.spec.ts --repeat-each=3`: 15 passed,
including nine controlled reloads at 4x CPU throttling.
- `GITHUB_WORKFLOW=PR pnpm test:run:general -- --group
general-server-without-chat --shard-index 10 --shard-count 12`: 55 files
passed, 867 tests passed, 21 existing skips. An earlier run could not
initialize PostgreSQL because this Mac exhausted its System V
shared-memory slots. After reclaiming the orphaned segment from this
task's stopped browser server, the full shard passed.
- On final commit `1f1fafc08d`, [browser
4/8](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35925901613/job/107400837947)
passed all 16 tests; [browser
8/8](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35925901613/job/107400838155)
passed all 23 tests; [server
11/12](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35925901613/job/107400838328)
passed 887 tests with one existing skip. The readiness lifecycle case
took 1.842 seconds. Chat 1/3 also passed. All four jobs interrupted by
runner shutdowns passed unchanged on their single rerun.
- Greptile reviewed `1f1fafc08d`: **5/5**, with no unresolved comments.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` was attempted and stopped after confirming
failures outside this patch: a sibling `skills` directory shadows
bundled Slack/AgentMail skills; macOS rejects rename of read-only
skill-cache directories (`EACCES`, also reproduced in an isolated
filesystem probe); and the host exhausts PostgreSQL System V
shared-memory slots. Focused reruns confirmed these limits. The complete
Linux CI run is the repository-wide verification; the full local run is
not green.
- Baseline evidence: the original sidebar test failed on unchanged
master; a development-mode run at 4x CPU throttling passed six selected
cases, so CPU pressure alone did not reproduce the CI bootstrap stall.

## Risks

- Default browser tests now exercise the shipped static UI. They no
longer implicitly cover Vite middleware or HMR; use the development
server for those checks.
- The new browser startup test uses Chromium CDP, matching the only
configured browser project.
- Opening a live subscription now causes one active-query refresh to
close the initial event gap. This adds startup API reads but no
recurring poll.
- Runtime behavior and deadlines are unchanged except for error details.
The historical readiness stall remains unconfirmed; a green rerun alone
cannot establish its cause.
- Local verification runs on macOS. The runtime lifecycle checks also
passed on Linux CI.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The session identifies the model family as
GPT-6; an exact served model ID and context window size are not exposed.
Used reasoning, repository inspection, shell tools, code editing, and
test execution. No subagents were used.

DottaandPaperclip 9a76390cfa test(runner): improve blank-page diagnostics and infrastructure coverage (#13824)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Runner E2E tests verify real tasks and retain evidence for failures.
> - Some exposure tests assumed that port 42000 was free.
> - A blank task page could also fail without enough browser startup
evidence.
> - This pull request tests occupied ports and task reloads, and records
private startup diagnostics.
> - These changes make test failures easier to reproduce and explain.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13815. Report publication already received its production fix in
#13750; this PR adds a regression check for that workflow.

**What happened?**

Three exposure tests assumed that the allocator would select port 42000.
The synthetic failure disappeared when another process occupied that
port. A prior Daytona run also retained an empty task page after
navigation, but its evidence did not record pending modules or
service-worker control.

**Expected behavior**

Exposure tests must exercise the intended failure on the actual assigned
port. Browser failure evidence must distinguish an empty root from
loaded content. A saved task must remain usable after navigation and
reload.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the exposure regression with the base port pair marked unavailable.
Run the browser-support tests with an unresolved entry module. Open a
saved task under the service worker, navigate to the same URL, and
reload it.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Based on master at a68f3d8e3.

## What Changed

- Make synthetic exposure failures use the assigned port. Test both free
and occupied base pairs.
- Record document readiness, root children, service-worker control,
pending module paths, and recent module error or 304 statuses in private
runner evidence.
- Add browser tests for pending startup, failed module responses, and
diagnostic reset after navigation.
- Add a provider-free browser test for persisted task content and the
composer across three navigation/reload cycles.
- Guard trusted report-job lockfile resolution before frozen install and
AWS credential setup.
- Document the new evidence and test commands.

## Verification

- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit`: 443 tests passed.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:browser-support`: 10 tests passed.
- Exposure tests: 28 passed; 3 platform-specific skips.
- Harness typecheck, workspace typecheck, and full build passed.
- Task-reload browser test passed against a throwaway local instance. It
checks three navigation/reload cycles with a controlling service worker.
- All PR verification suites passed, including server, chat, workspace,
serialized server, Rust, runner, build, typecheck, and browser shards.
The existing sidebar navigation case showed an empty page on the first
CI attempt and passed on one retry.
- The monolithic local `pnpm test:run` was started, then stopped after
CI completed the equivalent suites. Additional local browser
reproduction attempts also hit embedded-Postgres startup failures; the
focused checks listed above completed successfully.
- Greptile: 5/5 on the current head, with no findings.

## Risks

This change affects tests and private test evidence. It does not change
production prompts or runtime behavior. Module paths omit queries; the
collector reads no response bodies or headers. The existing sanitizer
and publication allowlist still apply. A 304 response does not cause a
test failure.

The blank-page cause remains unconfirmed. The first CI attempt
reproduced it in an existing sidebar navigation case: the trace shows an
empty page after a service-worker-mediated 304 response for the large
editor module. The single retry passed. This PR adds coverage and
diagnostics; it does not claim to fix that intermittent symptom.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with repository tools, code execution, and browser
tests. The exact deployed model variant and context-window size are not
exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 663c44cb2b fix: continue conversations after confirmed remote runner stop (#13254)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Users can stop a run and send another message on the same task.
> - Remote runners need evidence from their sandbox provider that
execution stopped.
> - Local process checks cannot prove that a remote process exited.
> - This pull request records provider stop receipts and uses them for
conversation admission.
> - New user messages can proceed after confirmed cleanup without
repeating interrupted actions.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13237 and #13239. Related: #13163 covers app-restart recovery;
this change covers an explicit stop followed by a new user message.

**What happened?**

A stopped remote Claude ACP task kept its execution hold after Daytona
cleanup succeeded. Native runners also rejected remote process
identities and retained stale session cleanup gates. A message sent
during cleanup could stay deferred after the sandbox stopped.

**Expected behavior**

After the provider confirms that the old execution stopped, a new user
message starts a fresh turn. Pending user messages must not need another
message to trigger admission. Prior action outcomes remain recorded.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a long-running task in Daytona with a legacy Claude ACP or
native ACP runner.
2. Cancel the run while its tool is active.
3. Send a new message immediately, or after cleanup completes.
4. Observe the execution hold despite the old sandbox having stopped.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master at 7b829efdf6. The
branch is rebased on current master.

## What Changed

- Add optional provider stop receipts to sandbox release and destroy
hooks. Old plugins remain compatible.
- Bind receipts to the company, run, lease, and provider resource.
Failed cleanup cannot supply stop authority.
- Acknowledge legacy remote cancellation after confirmed termination.
- Admit native user continuations using remote receipts instead of host
process checks.
- Retire only the settled cleanup owner matching the stopped company,
run, and provider resource. Isolate cleanup gates between remote
sandboxes, including two sandboxes owned by one run.
- Reconsider user messages deferred during remote cleanup through normal
admission, including successful later cleanup retries.
- Preserve receipts through cleanup retries and inline cleanup after
failed startup.
- Permit provider destruction after a terminal remote checkpoint
failure. Busy ownership still blocks destruction.
- Add regression tests and update execution semantics.
- Give the real preview fixture ten seconds for cold startup. Reuse
release-mode Rust artifacts for the filtered parity checks, avoiding a
duplicate debug test build that exhausted CI disk twice; test filters
and assertions are unchanged.

## Verification

- Recursive typecheck and build passed.
- Targeted server, Daytona plugin, and native runtime tests passed. They
cover missing or mismatched receipts, failed cleanup, local process
protection, exact cleanup ownership, and a message sent during cleanup.
- Live Daytona tests passed for legacy Claude ACP, native per-turn,
native warm, and a newly created native runner using disposable
sandboxes. Each original run was cancelled; its explicit follow-up
completed with no execution hold. The disposable case confirmed a new
sandbox after deletion.
- Native tests used the provider's Opus 5 selector, `opus[1m]`, and the
Linux runner bundle from the sandbox image. Existing checkpoint/sync
finalization warnings remained visible before the native follow-ups
reached committed success. This change does not repair those separate
warnings or guarantee recovery of uncheckpointed files.
- A direct live provider test also passed with the final delete-wait
change: the destroy hook returned its receipt only after Daytona
reported the sandbox destroyed. The final Daytona plugin suite passed
all 153 tests; its build passed.
- After rebasing on master, 284 targeted server/plugin tests and 313
native executor tests passed. The native session runtime suite passed
all 128 tests.
- The review regression passed all 145 tests across the continuation,
environment runtime, and pending-cleanup sweep suites. Recursive
typecheck and build passed again after that fix.
- The security review's exact-resource finding is fixed. Cleanup
completion requires the same provider-resource scope used during session
creation. All 128 native runtime tests, 61 server continuation/cleanup
tests, recursive typecheck, and build passed after this fix. The
two-sandboxes-in-one-run regression proves one receipt cannot retire the
other quarantine.
- Greptile reviewed the final commit at 5/5, the security scan passed,
and no review threads remain unresolved. The final native executor suite
also passed all 313 tests.
- The full local suite reached 10,616 passing tests before stopping on
four failures. All four now pass in focused reruns: the final-code
continuation/teardown suites, the attachment suite, and the native
session test after building its required fake-provider binary. The
original full run overlapped source edits and did not reach the
remaining groups; it is not counted as a full-suite pass.
- The preview exposure suite passed all 25 applicable tests (three
Linux-only tests skipped locally) after the startup allowance change.
Both release-mode Rust parity commands passed locally. All final-head PR
checks passed, including full server/workspace/browser test groups, full
native runner verification, build, typecheck, canary dry-run, and the
aggregate gates.

## Risks

- A provider must return a receipt only after confirmed termination.
Incorrect provider claims could permit overlapping execution.
- Older providers without receipts retain the existing hold. Missing
evidence, failed cleanup, active ownership, pauses, approvals, and
budgets still block admission.
- This change preserves unknown action outcomes and old checkpoints. It
does not authorize replay or alter historical runs.
- No database migration or telemetry contract change is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository inspection, code execution,
and browser tools. The exact backend revision and context-window size
are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 1cc45086d3 feat: use the responsible person's GitHub for shared agent operations (#13005)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Several people can send instructions to the same agent and task.
> - A fixed GitHub token in the provider process can keep the first
person's access after another person's message is accepted.
> - Task ownership cannot select credentials for each accepted
instruction or preserve the identity of an operation already in
progress.
> - This pull request records ordered execution identity contexts and
resolves credentials when managed Git, gh, or GitHub tools start.
> - The benefit is automatic personal GitHub access for shared agents,
with durable continuation rules and no teammate credential fallback.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: orchestration, connection grants, database, runtime
adapters, native runners, and run details.

**Problem or motivation**

A shared agent must use the person whose instructions it has accepted. A
queued message must retain its author. A retry or approval without new
instructions must retain the originating identity. GitHub must remain
optional for ordinary work.

**Proposed solution**

Persist execution identity separately from task ownership. Give new
processes a run-scoped broker capability and token-free managed
launchers. Capture identity at operation start. Keep an explicit
dedicated-agent grant as an override. Show redacted diagnostics in run
details.

**Alternatives considered**

Per-task ownership, fixed provider tokens, and mutable repository author
configuration do not handle accepted steering or concurrent operations.
A manual account-selection action would add unnecessary setup to each
turn.

**Roadmap alignment**

This completes the existing Multiple Human Users, MCP Tool Gateway &
Apps, Secrets Manager, and Self-healing Runs capabilities. The
implementation follows the maintainer-approved plan.

Related work: Refs #12843, Refs #12907. Existing proposals #4618 and
#8945 cover per-agent or per-worktree author configuration. This change
instead follows the accepted human instruction across runtime types.
Refs #11831 for governed personal connection delegation; this change
preserves connection audience checks and does not use standing
delegation as a personal credential fallback.

## What Changed

- Add durable, ordered identity contexts and active run references.
Preserve message authors through consolidation, steering, retries,
delegation, approvals, routines, and restart.
- Add an authenticated operation-time GitHub credential broker and
local/remote managed git and gh launchers. Keep personal tokens out of
the long-lived provider process.
- Resolve GitHub gateway and server-side Git operations through the same
responsible-person or dedicated-grant selection rules.
- Make absent and unavailable GitHub credentials non-blocking at generic
startup. Clear host and prior-person credentials. Keep anonymous Git
access where supported.
- Add run-detail identity history and the dedicated-account warning.
Keep task ownership and queue-versus-steer decisions unchanged.
- Preserve personal OAuth declarations through connection edits. Retain
exact selected grants in the gateway.
- Fix continuation races found during real acceptance: verify a warm
owner before credential rotation, and wait for bounded durable runner
suspension before the next run starts.
- Make migrations replay-safe. Retain identity through agent/run
deletion, remove it with its company, and clean terminal launcher
directories before releasing execution environments. Document
coordinated release and rollback.

## Verification

- Full workspace typecheck, build, and token gates passed. The complete
local suite passed in its normal test groups: 17,120 passing tests,
including all 143 serialized server suites. After integrating the newly
merged runner API work, full local typecheck and build passed again,
along with 890 focused integration tests. All 31 checks on the
integrated revision passed, including build, browser E2E, release
registry, canary dry run, typecheck, security and all test suites.
Greptile is 5/5 with all review threads resolved.
- Current focused checks passed: 142 native executor tests, 67 runtime
lifecycle tests, 9 durable identity tests, 75 credential/routine tests,
19 low-trust/resumption tests, and the executable migration replay test.
- Authenticated browser acceptance with two Paperclip users and two
GitHub accounts on one shared native agent passed. Real commits and
pushes followed A → B accepted steering → queued A continuation in the
same saved conversation. GitHub commit author and committer identities
matched all three operations. Both runs succeeded and task ownership
stayed unchanged.
- Real GitHub MCP calls switched from A to B after accepted steering. A
delegated subtask retained its originating identity across a server
restart.
- Disabling B's GitHub connection left ordinary work successful. Managed
gh was unauthenticated and the provider had no inherited GH_TOKEN or
GITHUB_TOKEN.
- The browser displayed run-detail diagnostics and the exact
dedicated-account warning. A final controller-restart check followed by
another-person continuation retained the conversation, selected the
correct GitHub login and Git author, and removed each terminal launcher
directory.
- Company-lifetime migration and all five previously failing CI suites
passed locally (167 tests). Same-token gateway A → B → A and six
broker/launcher boundary tests passed.
- Remote callback, launcher, sandbox, and runtime contract tests passed.
Both native and legacy Codex completed actual Daytona executions on the
integrated revision ([campaign
results](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34155056509)).
The remote package-manager shim staging regression also passed locally.

## Risks

- Deploy the migrations, server broker, launchers, and runner artifacts
together. Existing processes finish with their original contract. New
managed processes need the broker endpoint for GitHub operations.
- Finish or stop new managed executions before rolling application code
back. Keep the additive schema and identity history during rollback.
- Scripts that require a persistent raw GH_TOKEN must use managed git,
gh, or GitHub gateway tools. Run capabilities authorize code executing
within that run to acquire its current identity; this is not
hostile-code isolation within one execution principal. Managed commands
prevent automatic credential carryover; arbitrary code deliberately
copying a credential is outside that boundary.
- Uncertain steering acknowledgement deliberately holds new credential
acquisition until reconciliation. Already-started operations retain
their captured identity.
- GitHub private access and provider outages can still fail the specific
operation that needs them. Dedicated grant failure does not fall back to
personal access.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex assisted implementation, review, shell
execution, and browser acceptance. The exact model variant and
context-window size are not exposed in this session. Tool use included
TypeScript and Rust tests, database integration tests, GitHub CLI, and
authenticated browser control.

DottaandPaperclip b51112798f feat(apps): improve gateway and workspace connection UX (#12340)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - App connections must work in both the operator UI and agent tool
gateway.
> - The first stack layer adds secure remote connections.
> - Operators still need clear setup, test, and recovery states.
> - This pull request adds the gateway behavior and the workspace
connection experience.
> - The benefit is a connection flow that is easier to understand and
recover.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #11965

This is stack 2 of 11. It depends on stack 1 and replaces another
reviewable part of #11965.

## What Changed

- Improve remote tool gateway connection behavior.
- Add clearer app setup, test, and recovery states.
- Add focused server and UI tests for the new paths.
- Keep the diff isolated from later identity and catalog work.
- Stabilize DNS-pinned remote HTTP protocol fixtures and the
managed-runtime public-origin fixture for this independently tested
layer.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts` (150 passed)
- `pnpm test:run`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm build`

## Risks

- Gateway errors now surface through new user-facing states.
- A stale connection can require a new setup attempt.
- The change does not add a database migration.
- The injected HTTP transport and public URL are test-only fixtures;
production DNS pinning and runtime behavior are unchanged.

> I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This stack continues the existing app
connection work from #11965 and does not duplicate another planned item.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5. The runtime model ID and context window were not
exposed. The model used reasoning, tool use, and code execution.

417336f8be fix(workspaces): attach PR preparation to existing branches (#11703)
<!-- Write all pull request text in Simplified Technical English
(ASD-STE100): short sentences, one instruction per sentence, simple
approved vocabulary, and the active voice. -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Execution workspaces isolate an agent task from the primary
checkout.
> - Pull request preparation can need a branch that already contains
completed work.
> - The workspace policy could not require an exact existing branch.
> - Workspace cleanup also treated worktree creation as branch
ownership.
> - This pull request adds an exact existing-branch policy and separate
branch ownership metadata.
> - The benefit is safe pull request preparation that preserves every
existing commit and operator-owned branch.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A pull request preparation run could not pin its execution workspace to
an exact existing branch. Workspace reuse and cleanup could also confuse
worktree creation with branch ownership.

**Expected behavior**

The run must attach only to the requested branch in an isolated Git
worktree. It must fail if the branch is missing, busy, or inconsistent.
Cleanup must not delete a branch that Paperclip does not own.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a branch that contains completed work.
2. Configure a pull request preparation task to use that branch.
3. Start the task and observe that the prior policy cannot require the
exact branch.

**Paperclip version or commit**

This behavior reproduces on the base revision before this pull request.

**Deployment mode**

Local development with isolated Git worktrees.

## What Changed

- Add `existingBranch` to the execution workspace policy and shared
validation contracts.
- Require `existingBranch` to use an isolated Git worktree and reject
conflicting branch templates.
- Attach to the exact branch without creating, renaming, resetting, or
deleting it.
- Track branch ownership separately from worktree creation and use that
ownership during cleanup.
- Return HTTP 422 for invalid existing-branch settings on every
issue-producing route.
- Add a bounded repair script for existing pull request preparation
tasks.
- Add focused policy, route, heartbeat, runtime, and ready-comment
tests.
- Document the exact-branch behavior and safety rules.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/execution-workspace-policy.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-existing-branch-validation-status.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts
server/src/services/workspace-runtime-exposure.test.ts
server/src/services/workspace-runtime-ready-comment.test.ts` passed 335
tests.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed for all workspace projects.
- `pnpm test:run` passed 4,431 tests. Two unrelated embedded-Postgres
setup hooks timed out under aggregate load. Their isolated rerun passed
74 tests.
- `pnpm build` passed for all workspace projects.
- The two review regressions passed with 139 unrelated tests skipped.
- All latest-head CI gates passed after one unrelated timing-sensitive
test passed on rerun.
- Greptile scored the latest head 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.

## Risks

- Invalid workspace settings now return HTTP 422 instead of a generic
validation response.
- The exact branch must already exist and must not be checked out by
another worktree.
- The new policy fails closed when it cannot prove branch identity or
ownership.
- This change has no database migration.

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

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex from the GPT-5 family assisted with this change. The
runtime did not expose its exact deployment ID or context window. The
agent used high-reasoning mode, repository tools, shell execution, and
code execution.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip b83e14ad2c fix(runtime): stop the readiness probe from stealing the guest exposure port (#11788)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The workspace runtime starts guest processes and exposes their
ports.
> - The readiness wait bound the guest port to test whether it was
ready.
> - That bind could take the port before the guest process used it.
> - This pull request reads listener state without a competing bind and
recovers from a real port collision.
> - The benefit is stable runtime exposure and a clear recovery path for
a genuine collision.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The managed HTTPS exposure test failed intermittently with `listen
EADDRINUSE` on `127.0.0.1:42000`. The readiness wait bound the guest
port before the guest process could bind it.

**Expected behavior**

The readiness wait must not hold the guest port. The runtime must
recover when an external process owns the assigned port.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run `npx vitest run
server/src/services/workspace-runtime-exposure.test.ts` from the
repository root.
2. Inject a delayed guest bind and a widened readiness-probe hold.
3. Observe the port collision before this fix and the successful retry
after this fix.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`b375bbd913cb2edc8e077f4339ce0745e53bd462`

**Deployment mode**

Built from source with the server test suite.

**Installation method**

Built from source with pnpm.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

Not adapter-specific. This is a core runtime test.

**Database mode**

Not database-related.

**Relevant logs or output**

Before this fix, the test reported `listen EADDRINUSE: address already
in use 127.0.0.1:42000`.

## What Changed

- Read listener presence from `/proc` on Linux instead of binding the
guest port.
- Keep the bind probe as the fallback on non-Linux hosts.
- Capture the current port owner when an exposed guest exits with
`EADDRINUSE`.
- Quarantine the app and HMR pair, then allocate the next free port pair
within the existing range.
- Add a deterministic regression test for quarantine, re-allocation, and
self-diagnosis logging.

## Verification

- Run `npx vitest run
server/src/services/workspace-runtime-exposure.test.ts` from the
repository root.
- The target suite passes 19 tests locally.
- The related runtime suites pass 105, 128, and 21 tests locally.
- Run `tsc -p server/tsconfig.json` to check the changed server files.
- CI must pass the general server shard and all required checks.
- Greptile must report 5/5 with no open P2 comments, recommendations, or
follow-ups.

## Risks

The Linux readiness path now depends on `/proc` listener data. Non-Linux
hosts retain the existing bind-probe fallback. The port range and
allocation limit do not change.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-5. This agent used tool calls for repository checks and
GitHub PR management. Priya Raman authored the code change.

Devin Foley 933749e01f test(server): deflake postgres teardown and pinned exposure port (#11667)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server test suite gates every merge and every release cut.
> - Three server tests each failed exactly once on markdown-only or
unrelated diffs, then passed on rerun.
> - One of the three (the git-operation-scheduler owner/joiner race) was
fixed on master independently by
[#11671](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/11671) while this
PR was open, so after rebasing this pull request carries the remaining
two.
> - A flaky gate makes release operators rerun CI and stop trusting red
results.
> - Each remaining flake has a real nondeterminism: a teardown race and
a hard-coded host port.
> - This pull request removes the nondeterminism from the two tests
without weakening what they prove.
> - The benefit is a test gate that fails only when the product is
broken.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

- [x] I searched open and closed issues and pull requests for these test
files and for these failures. I found no duplicate report or fix.

**What happened?**

Three one-off CI failures occurred during release operations, each on a
diff that could not have caused it, and each passed on rerun:

1. Run
[32086355930](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/32086355930):
`server/src/__tests__/interaction-resolution-cross-issue-cap-postgres.test.ts`
— all 7 tests passed, but vitest recorded an Unhandled Error and failed
the run: `TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'write')`
at `postgres@3.4.9/src/connection.js:255 Immediate.nextWrite`.
2. Run
[32096743814](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/32096743814):
`server/src/services/workspace-git-operation-scheduler.test.ts` — the
test "coalesces the same canonical key and cleans single-flight state
after success and failure" failed with an AssertionError: the two
concurrent calls came back with the `singleFlightJoined` values swapped.
*(Fixed on master by
[#11671](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/11671) with an
equivalent single-flight barrier while this PR was open; the fix was
dropped from this PR on rebase and the file is no longer touched here.)*
3. Run
[32196201529](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/32196201529):
`server/src/services/workspace-runtime-exposure.test.ts` — the test
"keeps an existing runtime port that is already inside the dedicated
range" failed once out of 610 recorded runs because the runtime came
back on a relocated port instead of the pinned 42500.

**Expected behavior**

The tests pass on every run when the code under test is correct. A red
result means a product defect, not scheduling luck on the CI host.

**Steps to reproduce**

Each flake is a low-probability race, but both remaining mechanisms
reproduce deterministically:

1. Postgres teardown: the suite never ends the postgres.js pool behind
`createDb`; `afterAll` only stops the embedded server. postgres.js
batches small writes and flushes them with `setImmediate`
(`connection.js` `nextWrite`), and `close()` nulls the socket. Stop the
server while the pool is open and a pending flush can run after the
socket is gone.
2. Exposure pinned port: hold any loopback socket on 42500 or 52500
(both are inside the default Linux ephemeral port range, 32768–60999)
and run the test. The allocator correctly relocates, and the assertion
fails with `expected 42000 to be 42500`. The client side of any loopback
connection on the CI host can land on those ports.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Branched from `master` at `4b968d8c0`; rebased onto `5a1ce7aed`.

**Privacy checklist**

I reviewed this description and removed private instance URLs, internal
task identifiers, credentials, and user paths.

## What Changed

Both fixes are test-side. I found no product race.

- `interaction-resolution-cross-issue-cap-postgres.test.ts`: `afterAll`
now ends the drizzle/postgres.js pool (`db.$client.end()`) before it
stops the embedded Postgres server. `end()` waits for in-flight queries,
including a fire-and-forget wake that lands just after a response, and
closes the sockets from the client side first. Sibling suites (for
example `heartbeat-plugin-environment.test.ts`) already use this order;
this suite had skipped the pool shutdown.
- `workspace-runtime-exposure.test.ts`: the pinned-port test no longer
hard-codes 42500. It scans the dedicated range with the suite's real
loopback probe, finds the lowest free app/HMR pair, then pins the next
free pair strictly above it. If the keep-preferred-port path broke, the
ascending fallback scan would return the lower pair, so the assertion
keeps its discriminating power while no longer betting on one fixed host
port staying free.
- *(Dropped on rebase: the `workspace-git-operation-scheduler.test.ts`
coalescing fix, superseded by the equivalent barrier merged in
[#11671](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/11671).)*

## Verification

- Reproduced the exposure flake exactly: with a listener held on
`127.0.0.1:52500`, the pre-fix test fails with `expected 42000 to be
42500`; the fixed test passes with the port still held.
- The postgres flake is a probabilistic teardown race and I could not
trigger it on demand. The mechanism is established from `postgres@3.4.9`
source (`setImmediate`-batched `nextWrite` versus `close()` nulling the
socket) and the fix removes the whole class by closing the pool before
the server.
- Repeat runs after the fix: the pinned-port exposure test 20/20 green
while the Postgres suite looped concurrently for loopback churn;
`interaction-resolution-cross-issue-cap-postgres.test.ts` 15/15 green
with no unhandled errors.
- Re-verified after rebasing onto `5a1ce7aed`: both changed test files
pass and `tsc --noEmit` passes in `server/`.
- Environment note: three unrelated tests in
`workspace-runtime-exposure.test.ts` (the wildcard-bind diagnosis tests)
fail on macOS before and after this change because they read `/proc`;
they are untouched and pass on Linux CI.

## Risks

- Low risk: both changes are test-only; no product code changed.
- The pinned-port test keeps a tiny time-of-check/time-of-use window
between its own probe and the runtime's bind. The window shrinks from
"one fixed port must stay free across the whole CI fleet" to
milliseconds on a pair just verified free.

bd059a073d fix(workspaces): make managed runtimes reliable across restarts (#11740)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Execution workspaces need isolated databases, ports, and runtime
services
> - Concurrent workspaces could reuse ports or lose service ownership
after a restart
> - A markerless worktree also needed seed recovery, but normal
markerless instances still needed to boot
> - This pull request makes seed, port, and service ownership state
explicit and recoverable
> - It also checks live process and listener identity before it reclaims
shared resources
> - The benefit is reliable workspace startup, restart, adoption, and
concurrent provisioning

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Managed workspaces could lose runtime service ownership after a
control-plane restart. Concurrent worktrees could also reuse a port when
their parent paths differed. A seed recovery change made every
markerless instance resolve a worktree seed source, so normal instances
without a source could not start.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip must preserve healthy managed services across restarts. It
must reserve unique ports across worktree parents. It must provision a
registered markerless worktree, but it must skip seed work for a normal
markerless instance.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start two managed worktrees under different parent paths at the same
time.
2. Restart the control plane while a managed service stays alive.
3. Start Paperclip with a config that has no seed markers and no
registered worktree source.
4. Observe duplicate port selection, lost service adoption, or a
seed-source startup error.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Current `master` plus the workspace runtime reliability changes in this
pull request.

**Deployment mode**

Local development with managed execution workspaces and embedded
Postgres.

## What Changed

- Added a shared port registry with lease heartbeats, process identity
checks, and live listener probes.
- Reserved worktree ports across custom parent paths and repaired
duplicate legacy assignments.
- Preserved and adopted healthy managed services across control-plane
restarts.
- Reconciled guest bind modes and verified listener ownership before
termination or reuse.
- Provisioned registered markerless worktree databases and kept normal
markerless instance startup as a no-op.
- Added CLI, shared, server, and shell regression tests for seed, port,
listener, restart, and adoption behavior.
- Updated the worktree development documentation.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run cli/src/__tests__/worktree.test.ts
--reporter=verbose` — 63 tests passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/shared/src/worktree-port-registry.test.ts --reporter=verbose` —
5 tests passed.
- Focused runtime Vitest set — 199 tests passed across 37 suites.
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/provision-worktree-self-heal.test.mjs`
— 10 tests passed.
- `git diff --check` passed.

## Risks

- Port reservation now depends on lease and process identity data. The
fallback listener probe prevents early reclamation when process metadata
is incomplete.
- Runtime adoption is stricter about bind and owner identity. The tests
cover healthy adoption, stale records, PID reuse, and unrelated
listeners.
- Markerless seed detection now separates registered worktrees from
normal instances. The tests cover both paths.
- There are no database schema migrations.

DottaandPaperclip a2bf936f9a feat(workspaces): sign the workspace login handoff and gate readiness (#11671)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Managed worktree services run isolated Paperclip instances with
cloned databases.
> - A reachable service was reported as ready even when its database,
runtime identity, or login path was not usable.
> - The first candidate added verified database seeding and managed
repair in #11665.
> - This pull request consolidates that candidate with signed login
handoff and a complete readiness contract.
> - Post-QA fixes close five defects in repair identity, repair
responses, UI retry, seed journal handling, and seed-source trust.
> - The benefit is a workspace that either opens safely or reports one
accurate recovery action.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this work, so the problem is described
here.

**What happened**

Managed workspace URLs could return HTTP 200 and report ready while
login failed. QA also found cases where repair used the wrong instance
identity, returned a generic error, left the UI stuck, rejected a safe
journal lag, or trusted a mutable workspace manifest.

**Expected behavior**

Opening a ready workspace signs the board user in to the correct
isolated instance. Provisioning and repair use a registered source and
report a structured recovery state.

**Actual behavior**

Entry depended on a password copied into the clone. Several failure
paths could publish stale readiness, hide the repair precondition, or
trust state that the workspace could modify.

**Additional context**

This pull request includes the commits first published in #11665. That
pull request keeps the original base head for review history. This
consolidated pull request is the merge candidate. Related open readiness
work includes #11575 and #11621.

## What Changed

- Adds a short-lived, signed, single-use login ticket. It binds the
user, workspace, instance, and runtime origin.
- Exchanges the ticket through Better Auth. It creates the session and
cookie through the supported adapter path.
- Adds protected workspace readiness fields for the database, clone
data, login handoff, seed phase, and runtime identity.
- Fails readiness closed when the guest has no company or
execution-workspace binding.
- Binds ticket issuance to the exact cloned user and active company
membership selected for the handoff.
- Verifies every current active board identity through the exact-user
handoff before publication or reuse.
- Gates managed runtime publication on the readiness contract and the
recorded worktree instance identity.
- Refreshes runtime work products from the live runtime row after a port
change.
- Adds one workspace access card with ready, degraded, repairing, and
failed states.
- Uses the runtime response identity for repair. It returns structured
repair precondition errors.
- Lets a valid source journal lag converge during provisioning.
- Binds seed and repair manifests to a source registered outside the
agent-writable worktree.
- Clears recovered UI errors so a successful retry can open the
workspace.
- Makes runtime tests register canonical sources and avoid ports owned
by live host listeners.
- Keeps Vitest on source suites when compiled `dist` trees exist.
- Isolates CLI and adapter tests from ambient AWS and runtime API
environment variables.
- Preserves a 404 response for cross-company workspace ID lookups before
runtime authorization.
- Makes concurrent single-flight coverage independent of
path-canonicalization scheduling order.

## Verification

The following checks passed on the integrated head:

```sh
pnpm -r typecheck
pnpm build
pnpm check:token-gates
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations
```

- The server source lane passed 420 files and 4,953 tests. Five tests
were skipped.
- The CLI lane passed 57 files and 385 tests.
- The database lane passed 26 files and 97 tests.
- The shared package passed 58 files and 506 tests.
- The adapter utility lane passed 640 tests. Four tests were skipped.
- The Claude adapter passed 220 tests. One test was skipped.
- The Codex adapter passed 323 tests.
- The OpenClaw adapter passed 13 tests.
- The OpenCode adapter passed 42 tests.
- The plugin SDK passed 45 tests.
- The workspace runtime suite passed 124 tests.
- The caller-scoped readiness and handoff suite passed 52 tests.
- The workspace provisioning shell suite passed 7 tests.
- The runtime exposure suite passed 17 tests while live host mappings
occupied fixed test ports.
- `git diff --check` passed and the worktree is clean.

The serialized route lane will run in GitHub CI with its normal shards.
No deployment or active-workspace migration was performed.

## Risks

- This is a medium-risk authentication and runtime-readiness change.
- The login ticket uses exact origin, workspace, instance, and user
binding. It has a short expiry and a one-time nonce.
- Runtime publication is stricter. A real readiness, identity, per-user
handoff, or control-plane database disagreement now blocks publication.
- This pull request supersedes #11665 as the merge candidate. Close
#11665 after this pull request merges.
- No new database migration is included. The lockfile and workflow files
are unchanged.
- Deployment and active-workspace migration are intentionally outside
this pull request.

## Model Used

Claude Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5[1m]`), 1M context, extended thinking, tool
use, and code execution produced the main candidate. OpenAI GPT-5
(`gpt-5`) through Codex, with agentic reasoning, tool use, and code
execution, integrated the post-QA fixes and hardened the test gates. The
Codex context-window size was not exposed.

Dotta 1a17cbf232 fix(runtime-exposure): mediate leased app/HMR port pairs centrally (#11526)
<!-- Simplified Technical English (ASD-STE100). -->

> **Stacked pull request.** This targets #11525, which targets #11524.
Merge those first. Review only the last commit, `fix(runtime-exposure):
mediate leased app/HMR port pairs centrally`.

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip starts managed runtime services for execution workspaces,
and #11524 and #11525 make those services reachable over Tailscale HTTPS
on a loopback port pair
> - An HTTPS lane is only safe if one execution workspace holds its port
pair exclusively for the whole life of the lane
> - A managed start reused a pair that a stopped but still leased
workspace owned. Paperclip reported that workspace stopped and its
exposure removed, while the host listeners and the Serve mappings for
those ports were live and belonged to an unrelated workspace
> - The cause is that ownership was decided in more than one place, and
no single place saw persisted reservations, live listeners, and Serve
mappings together
> - This pull request adds one mediator that owns the decision, and
makes every mismatch fail closed while naming the conflicting workspace
> - The benefit is that a later start cannot collide with, adopt, or
interfere with another issue's service, and cannot produce security
evidence attributed to the wrong workspace

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists. The change follows the bug report
template.

**What happened**

A managed HTTPS start reused the loopback port pair of a stopped but
still exclusively leased execution workspace. The ports were then held
by an unrelated workspace. Paperclip continued to report the first
workspace's runtime as stopped and its exposure as removed, while the
host listeners and the `tailscale serve` mappings for those exact ports
were live and owned by the other workspace.

**Expected behavior**

An active execution-workspace lease reserves its app and HMR pair until
the lease is explicitly released or torn down. A start that finds the
pair held by a different workspace fails closed and names the conflict.
Paperclip never adopts a process or a Serve mapping across
execution-workspace ids.

**Root cause**

Three separate readers each had an incomplete view:

- `deprovisionExposure` replaces the exposure status with a fresh
`removed` status whose `listeners` array is empty. A later reader asking
"which ports did this row own?" gets no answer, so a stopped row's pair
looked free even while the row was leased.
- Startup reconciliation adopted a persisted service by `row.port`
alone, then terminated the local service when its health check failed.
Under the `project_primary` strategy, where workspaces share a working
directory, the containment check cannot separate two workspaces, so the
sweep could adopt and then kill an unrelated workspace's live service.
- Allocation checked live port availability but never checked which
pairs active leases still reserve.

**Impact**

Two workspaces can collide on one lane. A start can adopt or interfere
with another issue's service, and evidence about an exposure can be
attributed to the wrong workspace.

## What Changed

- Add `server/src/services/runtime-exposure/port-reservation.ts`, one
mediator that decides allocation and ownership from persisted
reservations plus live listener and Serve ownership together.
- Reserve a pair for as long as its execution workspace holds an active
lease, until the lease is explicitly released or torn down.
- Re-derive a row's pair from the `port` column and `deriveViteHmrPort`
instead of the status `listeners` array, so a `removed` status no longer
hides which ports a leased row still reserves.
- Refuse to adopt a process or a Serve mapping across
execution-workspace ids. A mismatch fails closed and names the
conflicting workspace and issue.
- Treat an unattributable holder as a conflict. A Serve mapping that is
present but cannot be attributed means the host has something there that
could not be named, so it fails closed instead of falling through to
"allowed".
- Make reconciliation surface a stopped or removed row whose reserved
ports are live or mapped by another workspace, instead of reporting
success.
- Leave manual and unknown Serve mappings alone on release and teardown.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run --root server src/services/runtime-exposure/
src/__tests__/workspace-runtime-exposure-reservation.test.ts
src/services/workspace-runtime-exposure-backfill.test.ts` — 8 files,
**112 tests pass**.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` — **0 errors** with
`@paperclipai/plugin-sdk` built.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` — migration numbering and
safety checks pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/tailscale-https-broker test` — 87 tests
pass.

The five required regressions are covered by
`workspace-runtime-exposure-reservation.test.ts` and
`port-reservation.test.ts`:

1. Reuse of a stopped-but-leased pair is denied.
2. Cross-execution-workspace process adoption is denied.
3. A Serve mapping ownership mismatch is visible and fails closed.
4. Concurrent allocators return unique pairs.
5. Release and teardown make the pair reusable without harming manual or
unknown mappings.

Note for reviewers:
`server/src/services/workspace-runtime-exposure.test.ts` fails on a
development host that already runs an HTTPS canary holding ports 42000,
42001, 52000, and 52001, because that fixture stubs port availability
and then allocates into the occupied range. It is unaffected by this
change and is expected to pass in CI, where no such listener exists.
Please read the CI result rather than a local run on an exposing host.

## Risks

- The mediator is now the single decision point for allocation and
adoption, so a defect in it affects every managed start. This is
deliberate: the incident happened because the decision was spread across
three readers, and concentrating it is the fix.
- Behavior becomes stricter. A start that previously reused a pair now
fails closed with a named conflict. This is the intended change, and it
can surface pre-existing collisions that used to pass silently.
- The remediation path does not stop an unrelated service that already
holds a pair. It reports the conflict instead, so it cannot disturb
another issue's running lane.
- No migration runs in this pull request.

Dotta 4c349fe6b7 feat(runtime): managed Tailscale HTTPS lifecycle, durable runtime leases, and bounded control recovery (#11525)
<!-- Simplified Technical English (ASD-STE100). -->

> **Stacked pull request.** This targets #11524. Merge #11524 first.
Review only the second commit, `feat(runtime): managed Tailscale HTTPS
lifecycle...`.

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip starts and supervises managed runtime services, so an
agent's branch can be previewed while the agent works
> - The previous pull request added the host broker, the shared
contract, and the database columns, but no code used them
> - A managed runtime can only be exposed over HTTPS if it holds a
stable loopback port pair for the whole life of the service. The current
control path cannot promise this: two controls can race the same
execution workspace, a stranded control can stay `running` forever, and
a start can adopt a port it does not own
> - This pull request adds the HTTPS lifecycle and the control-path
hardening that the lifecycle depends on
> - The benefit is that a managed preview becomes reachable from another
device, and a managed control now always reaches a terminal state

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists. The change follows the feature request
template.

**Subsystem affected**

Managed workspace runtime services, workspace operations, the execution
workspace routes, and the workspace runtime UI.

**Problem or motivation**

A managed runtime service is reachable only on loopback, so a preview
cannot be opened from a phone or a second computer. Exposing it safely
needs an exclusively held port pair. Three existing gaps block that.
Overlapping controls can race the same workspace. A control whose owner
dies stays `running` and blocks the lane forever. Port allocation does
not confirm that the process holding a port is the process Paperclip
spawned.

**Proposed solution**

Add the exposure lifecycle on top of the broker from #11524: reserve
before spawn, expose after readiness, validate the public URL, and
remove on stop. In the same change, make managed controls mutually
exclusive per workspace, give each control a durable issue-owned lease
and a terminal state, and verify port ownership before use.

**Alternatives considered**

- Add HTTPS exposure without the control hardening. This was rejected
because a raced or stranded control makes exposure point at the wrong
process.
- Guard the lane with an in-memory lock only. This was rejected because
the lock does not survive a server restart, so the lane can be lost or
double-claimed.
- Trust the requested bind address. This was rejected because a checkout
that predates managed HTTPS overwrites `PAPERCLIP_BIND` from its own
`--bind` argument, and then binds the wildcard address.

**Roadmap alignment**

This completes the managed workspace runtime capability that already
exists. It adds no new product surface beyond the HTTPS link.

**Additional context**

This is the second of three pull requests. The third adds central
mediation of leased port pairs.

## What Changed

Exposure lifecycle:

- Add the server-side broker client and the exposure lifecycle manager.
The manager reserves the mapping before spawn, exposes after backend
readiness, validates the public URL, and removes the mapping on stop.
- Default managed worktree runtimes to `tailscale_https`, read exposure
intent from legacy `expose` blocks, and backfill runtimes that are still
HTTP-only.
- Verify listener ownership for the app port and its Vite HMR companion
before the broker is asked to expose anything. An unrelated listener on
either port fails the start closed.
- Force the loopback bind through argv instead of environment hints.
Leave a non-Paperclip service's `--bind` argument alone.
- Probe loopback for readiness instead of the public URL, and give Vite
HMR its own loopback-bound server in middleware mode.
- Preserve operator-declared Serve mappings across the managed
lifecycle, so cleanup never removes a mapping that Paperclip did not
create.
- Name which listener predicate denied an expose, so an operator can act
on the message.

Control-path hardening:

- Make `start`, `stop`, `restart`, and job `run` mutually exclusive per
execution workspace. An overlap gets `409
workspace_runtime_control_in_progress`, and authorization is still
checked first.
- Take a durable exclusivity lease on the execution workspace, owned by
the controlling issue. A different issue gets `409
workspace_runtime_lease_conflict` before any operation is recorded.
Board and operator actions bypass the lease.
- Give every control a terminal state. Each control stamps its owning
process and pid, heartbeats while it runs, and has a wall-clock ceiling.
Recovery of a stranded control uses a compare-and-swap on `updated_at`,
so a live owner is never stolen.
- Bound readiness probes, verify allocated port ownership on POSIX and
Windows, harden sibling port allocation, and reconcile desired runtimes
on server startup.
- Surface exposure state and bounded runtime errors in the workspace
runtime UI.
- Record the new behavior in `doc/DEVELOPING.md`.

## Verification

Focused checks, all run on this branch:

- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` — 139 errors, exactly the
count on `master`. All 139 come from the unbuilt
`@paperclipai/plugin-sdk` package.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — clean.
- Server suites, 177 tests pass across 9 files:
`workspace-runtime.test.ts`, `workspace-runtime-leases.test.ts`,
`workspace-runtime-control-recovery.test.ts`,
`execution-workspace-runtime-control-conflict.test.ts`,
`execution-workspace-runtime-lease-route.test.ts`,
`workspace-operations-reconciliation.test.ts`,
`workspace-runtime-start-terminality.test.ts`, `app-hmr-port.test.ts`,
and `workspace-runtime-ready-comment.test.ts`.
- Exposure unit suites, 77 tests pass: `src/services/runtime-exposure/`
and `workspace-runtime-exposure-backfill.test.ts`.
- UI: `WorkspaceRuntimeControls.test.tsx` and
`WorkspaceServiceControlBar.test.tsx` — 34 tests pass.

**One suite is red on the development host and is expected to be green
in CI.** `server/src/services/workspace-runtime-exposure.test.ts` has 10
failures on the machine used to write this branch. The cause is host
contamination, not the code. That machine already runs an HTTPS canary
that holds ports 42000, 42001, 52000, and 52001 on a tailnet address.
The suite allocates from the same range, so the new listener-ownership
check correctly reports:

```
listener_ownership_mismatch — port 42000 is bound to 100.123.243.20, 127.0.0.1,
fd7a:115c:a1e0:0:0:0:dd3a:f314 ... instead of loopback only
```

A CI runner has no listener on those ports, so the check sees loopback
only and the suite passes. Please confirm this from the CI result on
this pull request rather than from a local run on a host that already
exposes a managed runtime. This is a real weakness of the current test
fixture, and the third pull request in the series removes it by
allocating the pair through a central mediator instead of a stubbed
availability check.

`workspace-runtime-https-live-exercise.test.ts` needs a live `tailscale`
host and was not run locally.

## Risks

- This is the behavior-bearing pull request of the three, so it carries
the most risk.
- Two new `409` responses appear on managed control routes. A caller
that assumed a control always starts must handle a conflict. Board and
operator actions are deliberately exempt, so an agent lease cannot lock
an operator out.
- Managed worktree runtimes now default to `tailscale_https`. If the
host has no working broker, the start fails closed and reports the
exposure failure instead of silently serving plain HTTP. This is
intended, and it is the reason the failure message names the denying
predicate.
- Startup reconciliation touches persisted runtime rows. It is scoped to
desired state and does not resurrect a service that never came up.
- The lease has a 30-minute time to live and explicit release paths, so
a crashed owner cannot hold a lane forever.
- No migration runs in this pull request. The tables and columns land in
#11524.
