Devin FoleyandPaperclip edb9d29942 fix(recovery): preserve Retry authority and reopen cross-task cases (#18997)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Tasks keep execution identity and saved workspace files separate
from control-plane updates.
> - A scanner can have permission to reopen a case while its run cannot
restore that case's files.
> - Retry can also follow a preparation failure that has no
recovery-action record.
> - Both paths can accept valid work but leave the target unable to run.
> - This change restores files under the target executor and saves
admitted Retry authority on the canonical receipt.
> - Existing workspace, user, source and successor checks still apply.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An authorized agent updates another closed task. The route tries to
restore the target workspace under the caller's run identity and returns
`403 Task workspace run identity is unavailable`.

A separate failure occurs when a normal board Retry follows a
pre-provider preparation failure. Admission has no recovery-action row
on which to save continuation authority. Dispatch then fails with
`continuation_user_authorization_missing`.

**Expected behavior**

Accept the authorized task update. Restore its terminal workspace when
the target's admitted executor starts. An admitted Retry must retain its
exact dispatch authority even when the predecessor has no
recovery-action record.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Complete a task with an isolated workspace. From a different running
task, use an authorized comment or PATCH with `resume: true` on that
closed task.
2. Separately, fail native preparation before provider work starts, with
no recovery-action row. Submit board Retry, admit its successor, and
build the execution continuation.
3. Before this change, the first path returns 403 and the second rejects
its admitted authority.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against `e968131efa7e63d321f3bcca8d47a62513c2efb4`. Rebased
onto `afbc5a885b5`.

**Deployment mode**

Server-managed native task execution. Tests use real PostgreSQL and
temporary workspace files.

Related PRs: #16927 covers terminal workspace races. #17916 retains
exact native export sources. Neither covers these route and Retry
receipt failures. A GitHub search found no duplicate. ROADMAP.md was
checked; this is a recovery bug fix.

## What Changed

- Defer workspace restoration only for authorized cross-task comments
and updates from a live run. Checkout keeps its existing workspace
identity checks.
- Restore the target's selected terminal workspace under its own
admitted run. Preserve its saved files and existing source checks. Leave
manually archived workspaces unchanged.
- Store server-created continuation authority on the canonical admitted
Retry receipt when no source recovery-action record exists. Existing
action records remain authoritative. Read the fallback only after
matching the company, task, agent, user, source, generation and
successor.
- Add route and PostgreSQL regression tests. Document both paths.

## Verification

- Red: both cross-task route tests returned the observed 403 before the
route fix.
- Red: the target executor could not reuse its archived terminal
workspace before the restoration fix.
- Red: an admitted preparation Retry with no recovery-action row failed
with `continuation_user_authorization_missing` before the receipt fix.
- Green: 419 recovery and continuation tests pass, plus 183 focused
route, environment and Retry tests. The assembled heartbeat test starts
the agent in the same terminal worktree and verifies both its unpushed
commit and uncommitted file bytes. It fails before the restoration fix.
- Negative cases reject wrong Retry runs, users, source runs,
generations, unadmitted receipts and missing authority. The original
failed run stays unchanged. Workspace tests verify saved file bytes.
- Full `pnpm build`, `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm check:module-boundaries`
and `git diff --check` pass.
- The full suite found an existing assembled chat authority regression:
clearing a recovery-action record could be bypassed by the new fallback.
The fix now writes the fallback only when that source has no action
record. That assembled regression passes with the original test
unchanged.
- Full `pnpm test:run` is running again. Its first attempt also hit an
unrelated ancestor skill-root lookup for a missing Slack skill. The
rerun uses a temporary untracked link to the repository's own bundled
skills. This link is excluded from the PR. Full-suite completion and
hosted CI are pending.
- Hosted CI has multiple runner interruptions. E2e shard 1/8, server
shards 3/12, 8/12 and 12/12, and workspaces-a shard 1/2 show runner
shutdown signals. E2e shard 5/8 and server shards 1/12 and 2/12 have
GitHub annotations reporting lost runner communication; their logs
return 404. The `ci / verify` assertion failed because the general-test
matrix was cancelled. GitHub rejected job and failed-workflow reruns
while this workflow is still running. Rerun the interrupted checks after
it settles.
- Greptile reviewed exact head
`a1e3929aedb1ee3bfcd001f4ebb1510106bf4070` at 2026-11-04 17:37 UTC: 5/5,
with no new blocking findings and no unresolved review threads.

## Risks

- A deferred workspace restore can still fail at target admission. The
run keeps the existing workspace failure path; this change does not
bypass file recovery or provider stop checks.
- Retry receipts now store server-created authority. Existing action
receipts remain valid. No schema migration is required.
- Local regression tests establish the software behavior. The new
revision has not been deployed to a hosted instance.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through the Codex harness in T3 Code, with xhigh
reasoning, repository inspection, tool use and code execution. The
context-window size is not exposed by the runtime.

DottaandPaperclip 6364fa7327 fix(heartbeat): wait for retry predecessor cleanup (#18989)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and preserves its task ownership.
> - Heartbeat admission controls when a queued run can start.
> - A failed run can still own workspace saving and environment cleanup.
> - Automatic recovery can transfer the task execution lock to its
queued retry before that cleanup finishes.
> - The old queue check then sees the retry itself and misses the
predecessor's remaining work.
> - This pull request checks the exact retry predecessor before claiming
the queued run.
> - Existing cleanup notifications can then resume that same run through
normal admission.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18898 and #18691. The first repair covers canonical connected-task
retries with a native source. The second covers live remote workspace
writers. This change covers ordinary automatic continuation when the
predecessor failed before native runtime selection. The search found no
open repair for that path.

**What happened?**

A preparation failure saved a terminal legacy run row while its remote
workspace save and environment cleanup were still active. Generic
continuation created one queued successor and moved the task execution
lock to it. The queue checked that current lock but did not check the
successor's predecessor. The new run started and failed at the existing
unfinished-writer guard.

**Expected behavior**

Keep that same successor queued until its exact predecessor finishes
execution and cleanup. Check company, agent and task identity before
using retry provenance as a wait condition. Preserve Stop, reassignment,
failed cleanup and independent recovery gates.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Save a failed legacy preparation run with an active environment
lease.
2. Queue its ordinary automatic continuation and bind the task execution
lock to the successor.
3. Claim the queued run before the predecessor finishes cleanup.
4. The old code starts the successor. The fixed code retains it in the
queue.
5. Commit successful cleanup through the existing cleanup owner. The
ordinary dispatcher starts that same run once.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The causal regression fails on master
`86814c6550f52e99ede150a883bdc773cbb540e3`.

**Deployment mode**

Source checkout on macOS arm64 with disposable PostgreSQL, the assembled
heartbeat service and the production work coordinator. The adapter
boundary is controlled. No hosted provider replay or deployment is
claimed.

## What Changed

- Check the current task execution owner and the retry's exact
predecessor under the existing task claim lock.
- Use the saved native task binding, ordinary task binding and
historical context fallback in that order. Ignore unrelated retry
provenance.
- Reuse the existing live-executor and pending-cleanup checks. Reuse
committed cleanup notifications and the existing dispatcher.
- Add real PostgreSQL claim controls and assembled cleanup-event
acceptance. Keep the original source failure, saved files and current
task ownership intact.
- Document the queued predecessor-cleanup rule.

## Verification

- RED: the unchanged queue claimed the successor and wrote a new
controller lease while its legacy predecessor retained an active remote
environment lease. The regression expected the successor to remain
queued.
- GREEN: the same regression passes after the change. The complete queue
suite passes all 71 tests.
- The assembled heartbeat suite passes all six tests. The added cases
cover one continuation after committed cleanup, saved-file reuse, final
task lock release, board Stop, reassignment and failed cleanup.
- Scope controls cover a deleted source after scan, another company,
another task, another agent, canonical native task binding and the
existing current-owner hold. A failed cleanup and a still-live local
executor retain the wait.
- Node 24.19.0 and pnpm 9.15.4. Module boundaries and `git diff --check`
pass.
- Initial fixture attempts failed on database constraints and observer
timing. The final fixtures use valid immutable bindings, the board Stop
attribution and a completed real dispatcher call after reading the exact
committed lease state. Production ownership guards were retained
throughout.
- Full low-memory repository typecheck passed at `5cddb49322`. The sync
to master `04a24f4e06` adds only the independent retained-allocation
test fixture from #18984; production code is unchanged.
- Full `pnpm build` passes on current head
`c7c2bcf08ffd05be5ce714683ae1dcfe6f5b49f1`.
- The post-sync run executes all 80 behavior assertions successfully
across the queue, assembled cleanup and updated upstream retention
suites. Its queue `afterAll` then exceeds the existing 30-second
database shutdown hook. That failed suite result is retained. The
controlled post-build queue rerun passes all 71 tests with normal
teardown. The earlier shutdown cause remains undetermined. Its owned
queue-test PostgreSQL process has exited. The separate local default
`pnpm test:run` was intentionally stopped after full unfiltered CI
passed on the exact head. Four local chat partitions completed before
that stop; this is not a local full-suite pass. The verified owned
process group and its PostgreSQL fixture have exited. Logs and retained
fixture data remain available. The timeout has not been increased.
- Full unfiltered CI passes on current head
`c7c2bcf08ffd05be5ce714683ae1dcfe6f5b49f1`: all 12 server shards, all
six internal chat partitions, all nine serialized server shards, the
workspace groups, native Runner lanes, typecheck, build and browser E2E.
Both required [ci /
verify](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41866478617/job/126711606613)
and [ci /
e2e](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41866478617/job/126711263146)
pass. The file selector is skipped, so this is the full CI test matrix.
The head has 55 successful checks and three expected skipped checks. The
ready-for-review contributor trust and security scan also pass.
- Current-head Greptile is 5/5, its check is successful, and no inline
review threads remain. The ordinary review check also passes. No merge,
deployment or original task retry was performed.

## Risks

- A predecessor with unfinished cleanup keeps its successor queued. Its
existing cleanup owner remains responsible for settlement.
- A task claim reads at most one additional predecessor row. A matching
source also uses the existing ownership and cleanup queries. The change
adds no timer, schema, credential, provider or model policy.
- A committed cleanup signal only requests normal admission. Current
ownership and independent execution gates still apply.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, code editing, tool use and
PostgreSQL verification. The session does not expose a more specific
serving model ID or context-window limit.

DottaandPaperclip 84e9c8f364 fix(retry): wait for admitted source cleanup before dispatch (#18898)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Connected-task Retry keeps the original request and its current
authority.
> - One durable Retry can already own a queued successor.
> - The old native environment can still have pending cleanup before
that successor starts.
> - The task execution lock points to the successor, so the old cleanup
can escape the queue claim check.
> - Dispatch then refuses the source state and fails the new run before
provider work.
> - This pull request keeps that same run queued and wakes dispatch when
cleanup changes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18845, #18853, #18860, #18877, #18882 and #18932. These repairs
cover preservation binding, interrupted preparation, old native
ownership, manual native holds or other setup guards. This change covers
an already admitted connected-task Retry whose native predecessor still
owes cleanup. It uses the shared cleanup predicate so the manual-hold
repair remains with its existing owner. Search found no duplicate
queued-source cleanup repair.

**What happened?**

A board Retry saved its exact chat request and admitted one queued
successor. The source lease was still pending cleanup when that
successor reached dispatch. A retained stop receipt did not settle the
full cleanup contract. The queue checked the task's current execution
owner, which was already the successor. The native authorization guard
then rejected the predecessor state and failed the new run before
provider dispatch.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the same canonical Retry and queued run while the exact source
cleanup is pending. After authoritative settlement, submit that run
through normal dispatch once. Do not infer safe execution from a
stop-and-retain receipt alone.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Retry an authorized connected request from a failed native run.
2. Admit one successor while capacity keeps it queued.
3. Leave or restore the source lease to pending cleanup with a matching
retained stop receipt.
4. Release capacity and resume the ordinary queue.
5. The old claim path starts the successor and the native source guard
refuses it.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against master at `f77499283270d2e966aabd58493f9d35c6bbdf5f`.

**Deployment mode**

The regression uses the real HTTP route, chat authorization, queue
claims, disposable PostgreSQL and the production work coordinator on
macOS arm64. A controlled adapter supplies the final result. No hosted
provider replay or deployment is claimed.

## What Changed

- Validate the exact canonical Retry, chat action, company, task, agent,
source and successor before testing source cleanup.
- Keep the successor queued under the existing issue claim lock while
the shared cleanup predicate remains pending.
- Wake only the scoped queued-dispatch worker after cleanup or exact
workspace-owner release commits. Add no timer or background scan.
- Verify pending cleanup at intake, later cleanup invalidation, one
final execution, idempotency, Stop, changed input, unknown stop
receipts, a different live controller and signed sandbox absence
followed by owner release.
- Document the queued-wait contract. No schema, endpoint, credential,
model or provider policy changes are required.
- Align five native preparation acceptance fixtures with the existing
workspace publication contract. Use the real reservation and publication
owner. Retain a raw-root refusal case with no provider launch and
preserved files.

## Verification

- Latest master sync at `e26cad76b8f20ba823d702ed60e7b7294f8f5a7c`
includes master `396b7fc62a0a4b1d8aadbda8221c05879d54177c`. The shared
test helper preserves #18944's canonical retained-directory default, the
real publisher for the five fresh-workspace cases, and the explicit
raw-root refusal. Independent remerge review found no dropped upstream
behavior, guard or assertion.
- The latest head passes the focused six cases, all 580 complete
workspace/continuation tests, all 38 selected HTTP Retry cases, fresh
full recursive Node 24.22.2 types and full build. No affected tests
skipped. An initial cached test-layer attempt read old budget
declarations; regenerating them resolved all seven errors without
test/mock or production-export changes.
- All current-head CI is green at
`e26cad76b8f20ba823d702ed60e7b7294f8f5a7c`, including required [ci /
verify](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41846304017/job/126636751314)
and [ci /
e2e](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41846304017/job/126636638086).
Greptile and Paperclip Review both rate this exact head 5/5, with no
findings or open review threads.
- Master sync at `3e4f266c2da172a84afd0b9cb4a91ea3b95f3c0d` merges
master `b891e69bd23d6dab8ce536569e15bc4a7a31c35c`. The only conflicts
were adjacent queue imports and two HTTP Retry test matrices. Both
imports and both complete matrices remain unchanged. Independent review
found no relaxed guard or assertion.
- Node 24.22.2 and pnpm 9.15.4: all 38 selected real HTTP Retry cases,
194 queue/cleanup/finalizer cases, module boundaries, recursive types
and build pass at `3e4f266c2da172a84afd0b9cb4a91ea3b95f3c0d`.
- That sync head's [server
check](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41838741852/job/126604742761)
failed five native acceptance cases in CI and locally with
`remote_workspace_published_path_invalid`. The test fixture supplied a
raw directory instead of a fresh publisher-generated workspace. The
guard from #18932 remains unchanged. The same five cases passed earlier
Linux CI before that guard was present.
- The test-only alignment at `dcdee1bb6c2e2e6dd494382499d17c23a3ce71a8`
obtains the saved authority, path and run reference from real
`reserveRemoteWorkspace` and `prepareRemoteWorkspace`. All five original
cases and a raw-root no-launch/no-result/files-preserved control pass.
Their native result, file, catalog and single-execution assertions
remain intact. An initial setup attempt was refused for a noncanonical
allocation root; the fixture now resolves that owned root before
publication.
- At previous fixture head `dcdee1bb6c2e2e6dd494382499d17c23a3ce71a8`,
the generated server test-layer typecheck passed. All 580 tests in the
complete workspace/continuation family pass, with no skips. That
test-only commit left production files byte-identical to the sync head.
- Previous published-head CI was green at
`dcdee1bb6c2e2e6dd494382499d17c23a3ce71a8`, including required `ci /
verify` and `ci / e2e`. The [Linux Node 24.22.2 server
shard](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41842665765/job/126618334638)
executed all five original acceptance cases and the new raw-root refusal
case successfully. Its whole workspace recovery file passed all 245
tests.
- Greptile reviewed previous published head
`dcdee1bb6c2e2e6dd494382499d17c23a3ce71a8` at 5/5, with no findings or
open review threads. No unchanged-job rerun was used for the reproduced
sync-head failure.
- Causal red: the real HTTP regression started and failed the successor
at the native source-state guard while cleanup remained pending. A
second red proved that signed sandbox absence followed by copyback-owner
release lacked a queued-dispatch wake.
- Green: seven HTTP/PostgreSQL cleanup cases, the exact confirmed-owner
release notification control and seven existing retry lineage controls
pass. The real coordinator resumes from committed cleanup or
workspace-owner release, without a manual queue restart. One controlled
adapter execution produces the result after settlement.
- Earlier branch verification passed full repository `pnpm -r
typecheck`, `pnpm build`, module boundaries and `git diff --check`.
- The full stale-queue file control passed all 64 cases with unchanged
observer/hook limits. The initial broader affected run had 192 passes
and one non-assignee native-owner case miss its existing five-second
adapter observer while already running with no error. The isolated case
passed; the unchanged base passed all 64 cases but hit its existing
30-second teardown timeout. Those original results are retained. The new
queue hint has no dispatch consumer in that fixture.
- Earlier-head CI was green: 54 success, three skipped and two neutral
checks at `6adb9f1ba682282c512d5e751ba2aa663f614ca2`. One chat job was
cancelled by an external runner shutdown; its single unchanged-job rerun
passed. No source was changed to obtain that result.
- Greptile and Paperclip Review both rated earlier head
`6adb9f1ba682282c512d5e751ba2aa663f614ca2` 5/5 with no findings or
unresolved threads. These results do not qualify the master-sync head.
- At initial verification, a complete local `pnpm test:run` was not
repeated while the related setup repair's full local run was active. The
full earlier-head CI suites passed. A full local suite has not been
repeated for the mechanical master sync. Local verification uses the
affected HTTP, producer, lineage and queue suites. No full local-suite
pass is claimed.
- The fresh clone's missing plugin SDK links were repaired with the
repository's own postinstall helper before verification. The embedded
PostgreSQL package's own symlink helper was also required.
- No staging task was submitted again with this repair, and no
deployment is claimed.

## Risks

- A pending source cleanup can keep the queued run waiting. Its cleanup
owner still owns reconciliation and its existing limits.
- Stop, changed source, unknown termination and live ownership retain
their existing authority checks. A cleanup notification grants no
execution authority.
- A new cleanup change after claim still faces the existing final
dispatch guard.
- Cleanup notifications can change dispatch timing in a running
controller. The real coordinator cases verify commit-bound wakeups; the
broader current queue-file control passed all 64 cases. The earlier
loaded-run and baseline teardown failures are retained in verification.

DottaandPaperclip 396b7fc62a fix(runner): scope session diagnostics to the active run recorder (#18944)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their work.
> - The native executor can retain a transport between runs.
> - Each run recorder has a shorter lifetime than that transport.
> - The transport kept its first recorder after warm reuse and
completion.
> - A later close could write to the wrong run or a sealed object log.
> - This change binds diagnostics to the active run epoch and retires
that binding at execution exit.
> - The existing recorder still owns accepted-byte draining and honest
incomplete finalization.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A warm native transport retained the first run's diagnostic callback.
Reusing the session for another run did not change that callback. A
later idle close could append to a retired writer and emit a persistence
warning.

**Expected behavior**

Active diagnostics belong to the current company, session and run. A
retired transport callback must not use a completed recorder. Diagnostic
metadata must not delay essential execution cleanup.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the native warm-session regression with two sequential run owners.
Close the retained transport after both runs finish. The original code
calls the first recorder. The real completion regression also observes
the resulting closed-writer warning after normal lease cleanup.

This is a local source defect with behavioral red/green proof. Repeated
hosted generic persistence warnings motivated the investigation, but
their original exceptions were not retained. This PR does not claim to
identify every such warning or repair an export failure.

Related #18379 queues sanitized performance spans in heartbeat. It does
not own transport diagnostic callback lifetime.

## What Changed

- Bind transport diagnostics to an exact active company/session/run
epoch, including warm reuse.
- Activate a retained channel in the existing session-admission hook
after identity validation and before attachment starts, including an
attachment failure before `onSession`.
- Forward active diagnostics synchronously. Detach their recorder at
execution exit. Keep the original asynchronous metadata semantics.
- Keep idle transport evidence inspectable. Log only a fixed category
and trusted company/run identifiers to the process logger.
- Preserve recorder-owned byte draining, redaction, source coverage and
genuine persistence-failure warnings.
- Cover actual native executor, completion and lease-close boundaries,
including stalled local appends and exact object-log source/hash
preservation.
- Place the retained-workspace test fixture under the existing
published-path contract after merging newer recovery tests from master.
Production validation and native/catalog assertions remain unchanged.

## Verification

- Current head: `c500e4933a85a4c453f66c872fa335108c661b15`. Normal
master merges preserve upstream behavior. The one textual conflict was
in the executor imports.
- The first GitHub run tested merge tree
`a4cb59448a3b5cc2047ac41c691720e6acec6e8d`, which included newer
recovery tests from master. Five cases failed with
`remote_workspace_published_path_invalid`. The same five failures
reproduced on an identical local tree. The fixture now puts retained
files under `.paperclip-workspaces/<workspaceId>` and keeps the target,
lease and authority bound to that path. Production validation and the
native-success/catalog-denial assertions are unchanged.
- On unchanged `c500e493`, the full recovery file passed **244/244**
tests. Existing cold-restore and occupied-root controls passed **4/4**.
Server typecheck, server production build, module boundaries and
whitespace checks passed. An intermediate missing-import setup failure
was corrected and is separate from the five-case behavioral red.
- Before that fixture correction, local `f2fdaddb` passed **1,221
tests** across the five diagnostic, executor, output, completion and
object-store files. Recursive typecheck and full repository build also
passed. Those results are tied to that earlier revision; [fresh
current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41842043248)
must qualify the final merge.
- Behavioral regressions cover the original closed-writer warning, warm
A-to-B ownership, and an actual Runner attachment exception before
`onSession`. The admission hook gives the attachment diagnostic to B and
leaves A untouched. The attachment fixture uses synthetic event
persistence and outer failure projection; it does not certify a real
database terminal projection.
- The tests preserve synchronous diagnostic admission and asynchronous
metadata recording. A stalled append reaches the existing bounded
finalization result with unknown size/hash. The normal object-log
control preserves canonical bytes, SHA256 and complete source coverage
after lease cleanup.
- An initial local run had **37 PostgreSQL startup failures** because
the Darwin package lacked aliases to its included versioned libraries.
Only isolated `node_modules` aliases were restored. No source or
lockfile changed for this setup issue. A passing intermediate run
crossed a source merge and is excluded from immutable-head proof.
- An earlier combined test run passed 1,216 assertions but exited with a
completion `afterAll` timeout. Its cause remains unproved. Later
isolated 60/60 passes used the original timeout and do not erase that
failure. An earlier repository-wide `pnpm test:run` was interrupted
after its source became obsolete; it is not full-suite or current-head
proof.

Greptile reviewed the exact `c500e493` head at **5/5** with no open
findings. Fresh CI must pass before merge. The native review is queued
behind its separate saved-file recovery; no current-head native
assessment is claimed.

The provider execution loop is a fixture. These tests do not start a
model or prove hosted recovery. Missing accounting receipts remain
pending, not zero cost. Checkout-release invocation is observed; this is
not a separate task-arbiter journey. The original native review
published a valid finding before a separate workspace-export failure.
The finding is fixed; this PR does not claim to fix that export failure
or every hosted persistence warning.

## Risks

Idle process logs intentionally omit raw provider text. The existing
bounded transport evidence retains its own diagnostics. Accepted fs
appends that do not settle retain the existing unknown-size/hash warning
and cannot be certified complete. No new timeout, storage policy, schema
or provider execution is added.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through Codex assisted with diagnosis,
implementation, tests and review. The exact context-window size is not
exposed. Tool use and code execution were enabled.

DottaandPaperclip d8c1b9d4b5 fix(runtime): reclaim failed remote checkpoint retries (#18877)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native recovery must preserve the original execution and provider
state.
> - A failed remote run can retain its provider PID after heartbeat
releases the task execution lock.
> - Normal resumption excludes that PID, while restart recovery rejects
the released lock.
> - Recovery must reclaim that exact execution only after current
admission and durable ownership checks pass.
> - Failed retries and admission holds need separate finite budgets.
Neither can prove a provider stopped.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A failed remote native run remains in retryable failure without a task
execution owner. Normal resumption and restart recovery both reject it
before inspecting the preserved remote provider. The current remote
workspace reference format also misses the due-retry routing path.

**Expected behavior**

A due exact-checkpoint retry reclaims its original task execution only
when current ownership and safety gates permit it. Newer task input
prevents an old claim. Lost or ambiguous provider state still prevents
replay or replacement. Ineligible recovery eventually becomes a quiet
manual reconciliation obligation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a remote native run and persist its provider checkpoint and
encrypted Runner authority.
2. Fail with exact-checkpoint recovery and a retained remote PID.
3. Release the task execution lock at heartbeat completion.
4. Run ordinary resumption and restart recovery after the retry
deadline.
5. Observe that both reject the same eligible run before remote
inspection.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced from source at `d59791828482`; integrated with upstream
`db9be4c5a6`.

**Deployment mode**

Remote workspaces with PostgreSQL. Local regressions use disposable
PostgreSQL and encrypted checkpoint persistence.

Related public repairs #18846, #18854, #18860 and #18841 cover finished
per-turn owners, pre-provider failures, unstarted follow-ups and storage
migration. They do not reclaim this failed run's released execution
lock. Merged #18879 also adds scheduled-resume lock retention and
reclaim. This PR keeps that compatibility and requires encrypted Runner
authority, canonical source ordering and a charged failed retry before
reclaim. Its scheduled-resume regression now uses a real encrypted
authority and retains a snapshot-only refusal control.

## What Changed

- Share normal admission checks and one guarded execution-binding
restore/event helper between normal and remote resumption.
- Keep agent-name normalization in a module with no imports. Preserve
heartbeat's existing export. Native admission no longer loads heartbeat
orchestration for a string key.
- Recheck company, assignment, agent eligibility, Stop, pause, approval,
dependencies, execution and checkout ownership before reclaim.
- Reject newer task input using PostgreSQL creation-time and ID
ordering, preserving timestamp precision.
- Require the recorded remote target, encrypted Runner authority, exact
checkpoint identity and existing controller fence.
- Commit task binding, controller lease, run status and recovery event
atomically. Recognize both remote workspace reference formats.
- Charge failed reattachments against the existing
three-provider-attempt budget, including retained-lock crash windows.
Active controller adoption preserves its charged attempt.
- Use the existing five-retry/30-minute system-recovery policy for
admission holds. Ended tasks and newer sources exhaust it immediately.
Preserve PID, checkpoint and task bindings, suppress resource
settlement, and assign manual reconciliation with executor stop/state
explicitly unverified.
- Register recovery intent before deadline writes; preserve live/future
deadlines quietly and roll back zero-row writes. Record changed hold
reasons once and terminal dispositions separately.
- Keep historical provider-budget exhaustion behind current
admission/source/controller/authority checks. Make an existing
orphan-cleanup fixture explicitly due.
- Include exact plugin task leases that have no workspace reference.
Reuse every reclaim and retry-budget guard, with a bounded
company/task/run lease projection.
- Share strict manual ownership proof across stale-lock cleanup,
adoption, queue release and wake admission. Require termination receipts
for every exact remote lease before normal cleanup can release either
binding.
- Preserve governing Stop through the existing audited cancellation
path. Its acknowledgement does not release an unverified provider.
Ordinary Retry can wait for exact Stop and file preservation, then queue
one continuation.

## Verification

- Current head is `5d7baf74aa89d00d7ac6e1493d38a6ce2ae7b7b5`. Its
[current CI
matrix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41782198858)
is terminal and clean: 54 successful, three skipped and two neutral
contexts. Required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e` pass. Greptile is 5/5 on
this exact head with no open findings. No fresh Paperclip 5/5 assessment
is claimed.
- The [prior complete CI
matrix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41754365388)
passed on `3e641466d3edcaa6dd5021d979627082d388eb05`, with Greptile and
Paperclip both 5/5 and no open threads.
- All 233 tests across the six affected heartbeat, restart-isolation,
remote-admission, scheduled-resume and session-binding families pass on
production-identical `a5104fa89f9cb493091e000bf21ed3858871ae46` under
Node 24.22.2 and pnpm 9.15.4. They cover both workspace formats and
plugin task leases, competing controllers, exact rollback, Stop,
assignment/company boundaries, attempts, work-intent ordering, finite
backoff and quiet held state.
- The merge preserves #18931's per-run audit-failure isolation and this
PR's unchanged-transition hold. Two initial composition cases failed
because their setup or expected result described the older contract. The
rollback test now expects the exact per-run deferral while retaining
full coordinator equality and no work intent. The routine fixture writes
a real encrypted checkpoint through the normal owner before reaching the
actual routine unique constraint. No production admission guard or
rollback assertion was weakened. A separate agent reviewed this exact
merge and fixture delta without finding a blocker.
- Full recursive `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass on production
merge `89c616fe45ceff75db450f67fd34224b4df7441d`. Subsequent commits
change only three test files. Both the two-file `a5104fa` and final
`5d7baf` server test-layer typechecks pass.
- Four production-identical `a5104fa` probes pass with the rebuilt
actual Rust Runner, a scripted ACPX subprocess and encrypted PostgreSQL
checkpoints under Node 24.22.2. Workspace-reference and plugin-lease
admission each cover surviving and lost providers. Replacement preserves
one provider launch, one original side effect, the charged attempt and
restored task execution binding. Lost providers reject snapshot recovery
without replacement. This is protocol-boundary evidence, not a live
Claude or hosted provisioning claim.
- Initial `a5104fa` CI found one additional routine integration fixture
missing the persisted `exact_checkpoint_resume` mode. Its encrypted
checkpoint was already present. The exact case fails locally before
repair and passes after recording that mode and expecting the charged
provider attempt. Every exact routine conflict, rollback, checkpoint,
task binding, successor-count and sibling-startup assertion remains.
Final head changes only that fixture. The correct native-server group
passes all nine files: 175 executed cases and 14 container-only skips,
matching the now-successful native-server CI gate.
- The earlier canonical HTTP Retry acceptance passed on the prior
reviewed head with real PostgreSQL, the recovery worker and real files.
Pending Stop protects both bindings and starts no successor. Exact
termination and copyback queue one preserved-workspace continuation. No
browser or live-model outcome is inferred from that test.
- The predecessor's full local `pnpm test:run` failed in an unchanged
Discord Gateway fixture with a 200 ms lease and a 422 initial ownership
error. Focused predecessor and untouched-base controls pass; that
full-run cause remains unproved. The required command was also started
on production-identical `a5104fa`. All six local chat shards passed,
covering 1,850 cases. The duplicate local invocation was interrupted
with SIGINT while the general-server group was still running after this
head's complete CI and the combined repair qualification had passed. The
wrapper exited 1 on cancellation, no process retained its test log, and
no full local pass is claimed. An earlier attempt to select the native
lane through the CI wrapper instead selected local package sharding:
2,631 cases passed and 13 failed. Those separate failures are retained
without causal attribution or unrelated source changes; that run is not
counted as native-server qualification. The direct native group and
current complete CI matrix pass.
- Live Claude Opus 5.5 continuation, hosted plugin provisioning,
deployment and recovery of historical tasks remain unverified. No
original task was retried or mutated for this verification.

## Risks

- Restoring a task binding grants remote inspection; it does not prove
that the provider survived.
- Unknown effects, lost providers and missing semantic results retain
their existing reconciliation requirements.
- Exhausted admission holds preserve execution bindings and resource
evidence for manual reconciliation. They do not authorize a fresh
executor or provider/resource release.
- The source guard is conservative: newer task input prevents recovery
of an older failed source.
- No database migration or provider profile change is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, code editing and
shell execution. The runtime does not expose the exact model snapshot or
context window size.

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.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 1a39dea9aa fix(heartbeat): keep a routine claim queued while its slot is held (#18933)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A routine creates one task per tick. Only one open task of a routine
can hold an execution lock (`issues_open_routine_execution_uq`).
> - Since #18879, a failed native run that waits for a scheduled resume
keeps its task's lock. Routine dispatch counts only queued, running or
scheduled runs as live, so it can queue a newer task of the same routine
meanwhile.
> - When that newer run is claimed, stamping its execution lock violates
the unique index. The raw database error is not a deferrable claim
rejection, so it escapes the queue loop. The queue code notes that this
can stop the agent's queue and startup recovery.
> - This pull request turns that exact violation into a 409 claim
rejection, so the run stays queued until the slot is free.
> - The benefit is that a busy routine slot delays one run instead of
stopping the queue or startup.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18879 (keeps a failed run's lock while its resume is pending),
#18916 (defers the same unique-index conflict in restart recovery's lock
reclaim) and #18931 (open; keeps one run's restart-recovery failure from
stopping startup recovery). This is the same index conflict on a
different path: the heartbeat queue claim, not restart recovery. It does
not change #18916 or #18931. Its doc paragraph is separate from the one
#18931 edits.

**What happened?**

While auditing the lock paths from #18879 for this index, I found that a
queued run of a newer routine task can be claimed while an older task of
the same routine still holds the slot through a failed run with a
pending resume. The claim's lock stamp then raises `duplicate key value
violates unique constraint "issues_open_routine_execution_uq"`.
`isDeferrableClaimRejection` accepts only `HttpError` 4xx, so the error
escapes `startNextQueuedRunForAgent`.

**Expected behavior**

The claim is rejected as a conflict and rolls back. The run stays queued
and is claimed after the older task releases the slot. Other errors
behave as before.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create two open tasks of the same routine (same origin and
fingerprint).
2. Give the older task an execution lock held by a failed run.
3. Queue a run for the newer task and claim it. On `master` the claim
throws the unique violation.

The new queue test runs these steps against PostgreSQL.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `0dedbf23c35`.

**Deployment mode**

Any server with routines whose tasks run on native runners.

## What Changed

- `bindClaimedIssueExecution` in
`server/src/services/heartbeat/queue.ts`: if stamping the execution lock
violates `issues_open_routine_execution_uq`, it throws
`conflict("Another execution for this routine is already in progress")`.
The claim transaction rolls back, and the queue loop keeps the run
queued as it does for other 4xx claim rejections. Every other error is
rethrown unchanged. The issue checkout route already maps this violation
to the same 409.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: one paragraph on the behavior.

## Verification

- Failing first: `queue.test.ts` "keeps a claim queued while another
task of its routine holds the execution slot". On `master` the claim
raised the `issues_open_routine_execution_uq` violation. Now it rejects
with 409, the run stays `queued`, neither task's lock changes, and
nothing executes.
- Failing first, review round 1:
`heartbeat-queued-run-claim-isolation.test.ts` "keeps a routine run
queued while another task holds the routine slot, then runs it once the
slot is free" goes through `resumeQueuedRuns`. On `master` it rejected
with the unique violation. Now the routine run stays queued with no
error code while another queued run for the same agent executes. After
the slot is released, the routine run executes exactly once (executions
are counted per run, because the finished task can queue its own
follow-up run).
- `cd server && npx vitest run src/services/heartbeat/queue.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-queued-run-claim-isolation.test.ts`: 70 passed.
- `npx vitest run src/services/heartbeat/recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/routines*.test.ts`: 4 files, 205 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`: pass.
- Not verified: the queue loop end to end on a real instance. The loop's
handling of a 4xx claim rejection is existing behavior.

## Risks

- While the older task holds the slot, the newer run stays queued and
the loop logs "queued heartbeat run claim was rejected" on each pass. It
is claimed once the older task's resume finishes or its lock is
released.
- Only this one constraint is mapped. Other database errors still escape
as before.
- 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.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 6c7b136b16 fix(native): keep startup recovery running when one run's claim fails (#18931)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - At startup, the server runs native restart recovery before it
reports ready. Recovery claims each interrupted or retryable native run
in its own transaction.
> - On one instance, one run's claim hit the routine execution unique
index. The error escaped restart recovery, startup recovery failed
closed, health stayed "still starting", and two deploys rolled back.
> - #18916 fixed that exact conflict: it defers the run when its claim
hits `issues_open_routine_execution_uq`. Any other error in one run's
claim still aborts the whole pass, and so does a failed per-run audit
write.
> - This pull request handles every per-run claim failure the way #18916
handles the routine conflict, and keeps a failed audit write from
stopping committed claims.
> - The benefit is that one bad row cannot keep the server from becoming
ready, and no run is claimed or changed when its claim fails.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18916. This change generalizes its catch: #18916 keeps the
routine-conflict disposition (`routine_execution_busy`) exactly as it
is, and this change adds a separate reason for any other per-run
failure. It does not change how the routine conflict is detected or
deferred. Refs #18879, whose lock reclaim exposed the startup failure.
Refs #18877 (open), which edits other parts of the same files. This
change touches only the claim's error path and the audit loop, so a
second merge needs at most a small rebase.

**What happened?**

Two deploys never became healthy. About 25 seconds after the listener
bound, the boot log showed `startup native runner restart recovery
failed closed` and `startup heartbeat recovery failed`, both from a
failed `update "issues" set "execution_run_id" = ...` that violated
`issues_open_routine_execution_uq`. #18916 now defers that violation.
Any other error in one run's claim (another constraint, a trigger, a
timeout) still escapes `claimNativeRestartRecoveries` and fails startup
the same way. #18916's own test asserts this: "Other database failures
still fail the recovery pass."

**Expected behavior**

One run's recovery failure is logged and recorded on that run, and the
rest of startup recovery continues. The server becomes ready. Only a
failure of the candidate scan itself fails the pass.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a native run that is due for restart recovery, and make its
claim fail (the new test uses a trigger on `native_run_finalizations`).
2. Add a healthy run that is due for restart recovery.
3. Run restart recovery for both. On `master` the batch throws and the
healthy run is not claimed.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `4a83ba4050f`.

**Deployment mode**

Any server that runs startup native restart recovery.

## What Changed

- `claimNativeRestartRecoveries`: #18916's `.catch` on each candidate's
claim transaction no longer rethrows other errors. The whole claim has
rolled back, so the run's state is unchanged and nothing is claimed. The
run gets `awaiting_evidence` with the same 30-second retry deadline. The
reason stays `routine_execution_busy` for the routine slot conflict, and
is the new `restart_recovery_failed` for any other error, which is
logged at error level. The batch continues.
- `recoverNativeRunsAfterRestart`: records a `restart_recovery_failed`
deferral as a warning transition on the run ("Native restart recovery
failed for this run and will retry"). A failed `getRun` or transition
write is logged and no longer stops the dispatch of claims that already
committed.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: replaces "Other database failures still
fail the recovery pass" with the per-run rule.

## Verification

- Failing first: `native-restart-recovery-isolation.test.ts` (new,
PostgreSQL). It seeds the reported shape (two open tasks of one routine:
the older with a due scheduled resume and a cleared lock, the newer
holding the lock), a run whose claim fails through a trigger, and a
healthy run. On `master` the batch threw `injected recovery claim
failure`. Now the routine run is deferred with `routine_execution_busy`
and the failing run with `restart_recovery_failed`, and both keep their
coordinator, attempt and locks. The healthy run is claimed.
`recoverNativeRunsAfterRestart` completes and records an info transition
for the routine run and a warning transition for the failing run.
- Two existing tests expected the pass to reject on one run's failure:
#18916's unrelated-constraint test, and failed-workspace retention's
rollback test. They now expect the per-run deferral. Their rollback
checks (no claim, unchanged coordinator, lease, lock and recovery
actions) are unchanged, and the unrelated failure still does not become
a routine wait.
- `cd server && npx vitest run` over restart recovery (isolation,
integration, diskless, preparation), controller recovery, heartbeat
recovery, scheduled resume lock, failed-workspace recovery, startup
cleanup, native resumption, live recovery work, startup feedback export,
recovery deadlines, runtime selection, stop accounting, warm transition
restart, workspace reconstruction, remote workspace migration and
heartbeat process recovery: all pass except one.
`heartbeat-process-recovery` "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: two `heartbeat/recovery.test.ts` cases make `getRun`
and then `appendRunEvent` fail for a deferred run while a committed
claim is in the same batch. Recovery completes and dispatches the claim
exactly once; the `appendRunEvent` case also checks the warning
transition. Both fail when the catches are removed. In one of four full
runs of that file, the unrelated orphan-cleanup case "reconstructs
missing native preservation during orphan cleanup without replay:
reuse_by_environment" failed; it passed alone and in the other three
full runs.
- After the rebase onto `4a83ba4050f`: the isolation and
failed-workspace recovery tests and `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server
typecheck` pass.
- Not verified: a deploy to a real instance.

## Risks

- A persistent per-run error now retries every 30 seconds and logs an
error each time, instead of stopping startup. The run stays unclaimed,
so ownership does not change.
- If the database fails for every candidate's claim, startup recovery
now completes with every run deferred, instead of failing closed. The
candidate scan still fails closed, and the deferred runs retry on their
deadlines.
- 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 f211d44c00 fix(heartbeat): preserve queued coalesced comments at claim (#18913)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their work.
> - The wake queue records task comments before an agent starts.
> - A queued run can accept another comment through coalescing.
> - Claim rebuilds that run's input from its primary wake.
> - Coalescing updated the run and its receipt but left the primary
batch unchanged.
> - This change saves the accepted batch atomically in the owning
writer.
> - The benefit is complete input at claim without repeating old work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #18887 preserves offline queued turns. #13948 addresses
equivalent automatic wake deduplication. This change repairs the
accepted comment batch at the existing claim boundary.

**What happened?**

A queued run started with comment A. Admission accepted comment B, saved
`[A, B]` in the run context, and finished B's coalesced receipt. The
primary wake still held `[A]`. Actual claim rebuilt input from that wake
and dropped B.

**Expected behavior**

Claim must retain every accepted live comment in order. Stop, changed
source authority, deleted comments, and company boundaries must still
apply. Already claimed wakes must retain their existing recovery source.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Queue a task run whose primary wake has an authoritative comment
batch `[A]`.
2. Admit comment B through `createHeartbeatQueue.enqueueWakeup` and the
real Postgres admission writer.
3. Confirm that admission accepts `[A, B]` and records B's coalesced
receipt.
4. Claim the original queued run. Before this fix, the claimed input
contains only A.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The untouched producer regression fails on
`d7283e875772ca8c684dc86e471e6b48d543b7b1` with both process and native
Runner/Codex adapter selection. Provider execution is disabled in the
fixture.

## What Changed

- Save the accepted comment batch in the unclaimed primary wake, run
context, and coalesced receipt in one transaction.
- Lock the primary wake before the run. Recheck the expected run status
and same-company, same-agent and run bindings; apply the existing actor
equality fence only to durable receipts before mutation.
- Preserve incoming input as normal deferred work when the locked source
changed. Preserve receipt identity and actor fields.
- Preserve the original primary actor and trigger comment while updating
its accepted batch. Each incoming receipt retains its actual actor. Keep
claimed source payloads and legacy envelopes on their existing recovery
paths.
- Safely defer a same-named different agent without rewriting the
original agent's run, wake or receipt. Missing and foreign-company
targets remain rejected. Do not rebuild input from historical receipts.
- Add actual process/native producer, real database rollback, Stop,
deletion, foreign-source, and fallback controls. Update three direct
writer fixtures for the required expected-status contract.

## Verification

- The untouched process and native producer red on
`d7283e875772ca8c684dc86e471e6b48d543b7b1` loses accepted comment B at
actual claim. The initial incomplete mock is retained separately and
excluded from behavioral proof.
- Current process/native matrix: 22 passed, including mixed authors,
system primary, same-named different agents, changed status, claimed
sources, Stop, deletion and foreign-source boundaries. Queue, Postgres
admission and use-case suites passed 234 cases before the
source-preserving serializer follow-up; its 22 actual producer cases
passed again afterward.
- CI on the previous head found a real ordinary mixed-author
workspace-copyback regression. The earlier 13-case selection omitted
this test; that coverage gap is preserved. The first correction exposed
a second real source-provenance/copyback failure. After preserving the
primary trigger and actor while updating only its batch, the complete
workspace recovery file passed all 188 cases, including ordinary
mixed-author input and native copyback.
- Real HTTP queued-comment consumption, discard/reorder and Stop
boundaries: 101 passed before these review corrections. Existing chat
and Slack consumers each passed their selected real writer case.
- Previous-head CI also timed out in the CLI child-server startup
fixture and a ZIP transfer case. The full untouched transfer file passed
17 cases locally. Startup remains unclassified; its intentionally
reserved port is part of the fixture and is not diagnosed as the cause.
No CI retry was issued.
- An earlier queue run passed its 231 assertions but timed out during
teardown; its preserved replay passed all 60 queue cases. This is
distinct from the behavioral reds.
- Exact `ab59d944895774d89f950248e356e93af00f4832` server type layers
and production server/Runner build passed. The unchanged-default
serializer file passed all 11 cases. Current-head CI and both
substantive reviews remain required; previous grades and checks do not
qualify this head.
- No hosted task was retried or changed. Local tests do not establish
any hosted deferred event's cause, provider execution, native
acknowledgement, physical cleanup, or serving revision.

## Risks

- Admission now performs bounded row reads and locks for each coalesced
wake. It adds no idle scan or remote request. The existing task
transaction owns the operation; lock order follows queued claim.
- Claimed-wake recovery uses source identity. Its payload remains
unchanged, and the existing actual native copyback tests cover that
boundary.
- A source that changes before the lock can defer the new input. This
preserves work instead of consuming it into a stale run. No migration or
historical backfill is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, with reasoning, repository inspection, shell
execution, and test tools. The runtime does not report the
context-window size. A separate OpenAI coordinator reviewed the source.

DottaandPaperclip ce7766dc11 fix(recovery): resume retries with remote workspace storage (#18910)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work performed by AI agents.
> - Native recovery must resume an interrupted run under its saved
ownership.
> - Remote workspace storage records that ownership in
`runnerProfileJson.remoteWorkspace`.
> - Recovery recognized only the older workspace record and plugin task
leases.
> - A retained remote PID could therefore leave a due retry without a
dispatch.
> - This PR routes the new record through the existing remote recovery
verifier.
> - Checkpoint, lease, process and single-executor checks remain
authoritative.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

After a native sandbox turn returned without a semantic result, same-run
recovery was saved with a retry deadline. The run retained its sandbox
PID and the new remote workspace reference. The recovery selector
skipped it. Later task attempts could then fail on the unfinished
workspace writer.

**What did you expect to happen?**

The due retry must enter existing remote checkpoint and ownership
verification. Recovery must resume the original run once or expose the
real verification blocker.

**Steps to reproduce**

Persist a retryable native failure with a remote PID, a prepared
`paperclip.remote-workspace-run.v1` reference, an existing lease and
checkpoint, then run heartbeat recovery. The added PostgreSQL cases
reproduce this shape.

**Deployment mode**

Native Paperclip Runner in a sandbox with remote workspace storage.

Related: #18841 handles legacy workspace recovery during storage
migration. #18908 handles failed native preparation. This repair covers
a later, provider-started retry.

## What Changed

- Recognize the current remote workspace record when classifying process
location and selecting remote retries.
- Extend the existing database and real-process fixtures to cover the
new record, including a retained PID without a process group.
- Reuse existing restart recovery. Add no new retry loop, ownership
bypass, migration or workflow change.

## Verification

- Before the repair: three new behavioral cases failed. Two retries
never dispatched; a missing checkpoint never reached its visible
recovery hold.
- After the repair: all 82 heartbeat recovery tests pass.
- All 57 neighboring resumption-binding, restart-recovery and
remote-probe tests pass.
- Safety cases retain retry deadlines, live controller ownership, active
execution, missing-checkpoint rejection, single dispatch and zero host
signaling of the sandbox PID.
- Local platform: macOS arm64, Node 24.22.2, PostgreSQL 18.1. The tests
use disposable databases and an owned live process as the remote PID
collision control. Provider execution is outside this routing
regression.
- Full `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass at
`34aa2d08d38e8afec7f8d98ce984a74551caeda6`.
- Current-head GitHub checks: 53 successful; `ci / verify` passed.
Paperclip Review completed neutral with a 5/5 assessment and no
findings. Two Storybook jobs were skipped by scope; the external
security scan was neutral. No failures, pending checks, or merge
conflicts remain.
- Greptile: 5/5 at the same commit, with no review threads.
- The duplicate full local `pnpm test:run` was interrupted after
current-head CI passed. Its first two chat shards passed (574 cases); it
has no complete local full-suite verdict. This is separate from the
passing targeted recovery suites and required CI test lanes.
- Staging diagnosis used read-only run, finalization, workspace and
lease evidence. The fixed revision has not been deployed. The original
task's useful continuation remains unverified.
- Initial local attempts stopped before test execution because generated
SDK output and PostgreSQL library aliases were missing. Those setup
failures are retained separately from the behavioral red/green evidence.

## Risks

A wrong remote classification could send a run to the wrong ownership
path. The existing verifier still checks the saved checkpoint,
controller lease and target. Tests require one dispatch, preserve
process identifiers, and prove that recovery never inspects or signals a
coincident host PID. Legacy workspace and plugin task coverage remains
green. This repairs missed continuation; it does not establish the cause
of the earlier missing semantic result.

DottaandPaperclip 7b1c53f8f1 fix(recovery): continue verified preparation after lease interruption (#18892)
Use recorded system interruption and the existing execution, controller, stopped-lease, and saved-file proof instead of a shutdown-only error label. Preserve bounded retries, user Stops, task authority, and exactly one continuation.

Keep the chat recovery fixture faithful to the preparation stage and terminal time written by the real lifecycle. Retain missing-field safety controls.

DottaandPaperclip 0ab3ce7a03 fix(workspaces): preserve legacy recovery across storage migration (#18841)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages durable tasks and agent work through the control
plane.
> - An ephemeral web server needs existing workspace files in shared
storage.
> - Failed historical runs can still own recoverable sandbox files or
unfinished coordinator state.
> - Moving local files must preserve those obligations without replaying
the old agent turn.
> - Migration journals the exact source and fences old copyback; the
recovery owner saves verified sandbox files separately.
> - New user input can continue only after matching preservation
receipts and independent execution-stop checks.
> - Accepted results retain their finalization owner and must have its
durable workspace receipt before storage moves.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Builds on merged #18826 and #18835.

**What happened?**

Existing workspaces with failed native copyback could not migrate to
remote storage. Simply changing their storage authority would let later
recovery target a retired local directory, lose child-task attachments,
or leave a recovered task unable to accept a new turn.

**Expected behavior**

Preserve local files, exact sandbox provenance, task bindings,
checkpoints, and unresolved history. Recover surviving sandbox files
into immutable task-scoped attachments after migration, and let a new
authorized user turn use those files without replaying the old
execution.

**Steps to reproduce**

Create a terminal native run with a prepared copyback descriptor and a
retained sandbox. Migrate its local workspace, remove the old host
filesystem, recover the sandbox, and submit a new user turn. Also
exercise a child task reusing its ancestor's workspace and an expired
observed coordinator.

## What Changed

- Journal exact legacy run, task, descriptor, and unfinished coordinator
bindings during offline migration. Descriptor-free runs retain the
complete declared lease/allocation/directory identities; publication
locks and revalidates them.
- Publish a run-scoped fence that prevents automatic restart or copyback
into the retired local authority.
- Release only the exact journaled expired coordinator lease under the
offline deployment fence and locked revalidation, recording the prior
owner in recovery history. Preserve phase, checkpoint, result, and run
status.
- Save recovered sandbox files through the existing immutable snapshot
owner, retaining allocation and provider-stop checks.
- Attach recovered files using the current task's identity when a child
reuses an ancestor workspace.
- Accept matching migration and snapshot receipts for workspace-repair
admission and explicit new-user continuation. Changed coordinator
bindings and invalid receipts remain blocked.
- Require the finalizer's successful workspace_finalize operation before
moving a workspace whose accepted result has finalized copyback; the
existing owner can then finish assessment/status effects.
- Document unresolved workspace-policy, task-ownership, and
missing-provenance cases as separate owner actions that block
detachment.

## Verification

- 569 tests across migration, retained recovery, and explicit
continuation passed on ffcde13f57.
- The final saved-result follow-up passes all 75 migration tests. Four
receipt cases cover prepared copyback, a successful finalization
receipt, a missing receipt, and a failed receipt. The successful case
invokes the actual finalizer after migration and completes the existing
saved operation.
- Five real-file journeys cover a retained host, removed host,
child-task reuse, an expired observed coordinator, and a descriptor-free
run with two separate sandbox allocations. They recover sandbox files,
clear the repair blocker, admit an explicit /new user comment, reserve a
new remote workspace, and verify recovered attachment contents.
- Negative cases reject changed coordinator phase/owner, invalid
migration fences, changed source sets and allocations, mismatched
task/allocation/action receipts, malformed archives, and unfinished
snapshot operations. Descriptor-free continuation requires every
journaled source; one missing archive keeps the hold.
- Twelve PostgreSQL/S3 and maintenance-service tests pass on the exact
final rebuilt runtime, including a plain-Node bundled process,
authenticated original-key export, overlapping task-folder restore, and
complete predecessor filesystem removal. The final server and runtime
bundle builds also pass.
- Head 9ab6a38fa4 passed all 573
migration/recovery/continuation tests, server typecheck, server build,
runtime bundle, and 12 PostgreSQL/S3/bundled-maintenance tests.
- Verification caught an expired-owner continuation rejection (160
recovery cases passed, one failed); the admission fix and subsequent
569-test run passed. Earlier fixture failures and the parent PR's
unrelated full-suite failure remain documented in their verification
history.
- Greptile and Paperclip Review both scored final head
fa58d4a5ce 5/5, with no remaining
findings.
- CI exposed 15 blocker-read projection regressions: descriptor-free
checks performed an extra full run read for ordinary unmigrated tasks.
The follow-up gates the lookup on the migration marker, includes that
marker in the bounded blocker projection, and selects only recovery
fields. All 31 blocker-projection and real-file journey cases plus
server typecheck pass. Final-head CI passed all 52 successful checks,
including repository typecheck, build, server tests, and browser suites.
- Preserved CI failure: the unchanged Runner package had one Cursor
Cloud Stop/checkpoint timing failure (4,903 cases passed). All four
focused local cases passed. Retrying only the failed job and its
verification gate passed without source changes.
- This PR does not claim tenant enrollment or a hosted rolling-deploy
result.

## Risks

Cloud must stop every predecessor deployment before enabling the offline
migration contract. Migration preserves uncertain work; it does not
certify provider termination, invent a completed result, or authorize
sandbox deletion. Missing or ambiguous sources remain held. Preserved
attachments are separate files rather than an automatic merge into newer
task edits. Parallel shared-write policy, stale task ownership, missing
task provenance, and accepted results without a successful finalization
receipt remain enrollment blockers. Original folders and the original
volume remain retained.

DottaandPaperclip 451d06e2fc fix: resume interrupted Runner preparation and confirm failure report delivery (#18853)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work.
> - The server owns run recovery and task continuation after a restart.
> - A shutdown can interrupt Runner preparation before any provider work starts.
> - Workspace recovery can save the files but leave that task behind a legacy execution hold.
> - Retry then accepts a request without starting a successor. Startup also leaves the task blocked.
> - This pull request verifies the interrupted preparation, preserves its files, and admits one bounded continuation.
> - It also keeps a dropped Sentry capture eligible for a later report.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A hosted task remained blocked after a graceful server shutdown interrupted Runner preparation. Its remote workspace was recovered. Retry returned an accepted request, but no successor started. Startup did not resume it. The task also had no matching Sentry event.

The recovery cause is verified. The exact cause of the missing historical Sentry event is unknown. A separate regression with the real Sentry SDK proves that processing backpressure can drop a capture while the task cache marks it as reported forever.

**Expected behavior**

Retry must continue eligible interrupted work from its saved workspace. Startup must schedule one bounded retry when durable evidence proves that no provider started. A later task read must be able to retry an unconfirmed Sentry report.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Interrupt Runner preparation during a server shutdown before native runtime selection.
2. Retain and recover its remote workspace under the legacy recovery hold.
3. Press Retry, or restart after file recovery has completed.
4. Observe that the task remains blocked without a successor.

For the reporting case, hold the first Sentry event in its asynchronous enrichment step. Fill the SDK processing buffer. Capture a second task failure, release the first event, and read the second failed task again later.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against source commit `4d31588dea`. The hosted incident served `6ef37398c8d799c5142a3a6590ecc70ad352b663`.

**Deployment mode**

Hosted Linux server with remote workspaces and external PostgreSQL. Local regressions use the source checkout on macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, PostgreSQL 17.10, and the audited optional Sentry SDK 10.71.0.

Related public changes: #18541 added task-state failure reports. #18678 retained remote exports before Retry. #18803 fenced remote workspace writers before continuation.

The small backend-port fixture correction follows #18739. It is included here because the same existing setup defect blocked CI.

## What Changed

- Verify pre-native shutdown interruption against the immutable adapter claim, controller ownership, run events, native records, stopped leases, and exact workspace recovery receipts.
- Retire only the server's unchanged bootstrap failure block. Admit explicit Retry through the existing continuation path.
- Discover completed workspace recovery at startup and schedule one retry under the existing failure budget. Let saved input own its continuation.
- Apply the existing safe replacement dispatch checks to preparation retries. A later human block, competing execution, dependency, pause, approval, or budget gate must still prevent dispatch.
- Keep execution evidence available through the bounded run projection.
- Confirm Sentry task-report delivery from a successful SDK HTTP response. Keep unconfirmed captures pending for 60 seconds before a later task read can retry them. Both caches remain bounded and start no timer.
- Document recovery and report delivery semantics.
- Align existing handoff/budget assertions with the guarded preparation retry reason. Keep the owned-runtime fixture outside reserved proxy ports, with bounded allocation attempts.

## Verification

- Red before the recovery fix: all three new Retry/startup cases failed because no successor was created. Green after the fix: all three passed with real saved workspace archives and PostgreSQL.
- The pre-merge revision passes all 384 tests in the six affected recovery, run-control, run-state, retry, and dispatch suites.
- The late-block regression failed before its repair. Its four focused recovery/dispatch cases then passed, including final dispatch cancellation.
- Review found a second stop check that still rejected verified local and lease-free preparation. Both new cases failed before that repair. All 17 interrupted-preparation regressions passed on the pre-merge revision.
- The Sentry regression failed with the real SDK before the fix. All 91 affected reporting tests then passed. The transport stays in memory. No test sends events to Sentry.
- Full repository typecheck passed with `node scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`. The full `pnpm build` and module boundary check passed.
- CI found untyped delivery-hook parameters when the optional Sentry SDK was absent. Explicit callback types fix that build. The SDK-absent server build and all 91 SDK-present reporting tests pass.
- Server typecheck passes with the SDK installed and the real Sentry SDK contract CI job passes. Greptile reviewed the pre-merge commit `103e175c44` at 5/5 with no open findings.
- The local full-suite attempt initially overlapped the rebase and stopped at test-line selection. Its unchanged-head rerun passed the first 309-test chat shard. I stopped the old-head run before applying review fixes. Current-head CI owns the remaining full-suite verification.
- CI exposed two old retry-reason expectations. The handoff and retry-budget checks pass with the new guarded reason. A separate existing process-adoption fixture chose port 42953 in the reserved 42000–42999 proxy range. The fixture now rejects reserved ports, following #18739. Its real process/adoption/termination test passes locally.
- The final Runner package job [initially failed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41718507919/job/126205912033) one unchanged Codex credential case after it could not acquire its port quorum, then timed out. The complete unchanged 42-case credential suite passes locally. One unchanged CI retry passed; the original competing port owner was not identified. No Runner implementation or credential test was changed.
- Required CI passes on `103e175c4490e1bdf804c64a8635b0e4568545ae`, including `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`. That revision has Greptile 5/5 with no open findings. The optional Paperclip Review check on that earlier head remained queued, waiting for its assigned agent.
- Merged current `master` without replacing published commits. The retry gate retains both shutdown interruption checks and the new workspace preparation timeout policy. All 311 tests in the five combined recovery, retry scheduling, completion, and native startup suites passed after the conflict resolution. Server typecheck passed. Final head `005d380b00d45a2393c4a2a190eab27611168d3c` includes the next conflict-free master update. All 17 interrupted-preparation regressions passed again on that final head. Greptile reviewed that exact head at 5/5 with no new findings. Required CI passes on that exact head, including `ci / verify`, `ci / e2e`, typecheck, build, the full test shards, and the real Sentry SDK isolation check. The optional Paperclip Review remains queued, waiting for its assigned agent; it is not a required branch check.
- On the final head, six test jobs were cancelled after their spot runners received shutdown signals at the same time. Another server shard passed 2,419 tests, but its unchanged 103-record cleanup backlog case exceeded the 15-second limit. The unchanged full cleanup suite then passed all 29 tests locally. One unchanged retry of only the seven unsuccessful jobs passed. The [original cancellation and timeout logs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41724898038/attempts/1) remain in the workflow history. No cleanup implementation or test was changed.
- The signed-in hosted UI reproduced the failed Retry before the fix. The fixed path is covered through the real HTTP Retry route and assembled heartbeat/recovery services. This PR has not been deployed to the hosted incident. A live repaired Retry remains unverified until rollout.

## Risks

- Automatic continuation must not repeat provider work. It requires positive preparation evidence and rejects retained provider, process-launch, coordinator, result, live-controller, unsafe lease, or mismatched workspace evidence.
- Repeated recovery calls must create one successor. Tests cover concurrent requests, repeated startup visits, pending Retry, retry exhaustion, and changed task ownership.
- Sentry delivery state stays local to the process. A restart or cache eviction can report a failure again. An unconfirmed event needs a later task read to retry.
- No schema or API contract changes are required.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. This session does not expose a more specific deployment ID or context window size. Reasoning, code editing, test execution, and browser diagnostics assisted the change.

DottaandPaperclip 0a1e4c3d0f fix(workspaces): retry pristine remote setup timeouts (#18852)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A remote task needs a workspace before its model can start.
> - Fresh workspace preparation can reach its transport deadline.
> - Failure handling records that timeout as a generic setup failure and
stops the task.
> - An unpublished workspace has no saved task work to repeat.
> - This change routes that narrow failure through the existing bounded
retry scheduler.
> - Saved work, retained executions, and normal admission gates keep
their existing protection.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18827, which preserves remote timeout diagnostics. This change
builds on that merged repair. Related #16727 concerns controller-managed
clones and optional partial clones; this change keeps remote clone
contents and deadlines unchanged.

**What happened?**

A fresh remote workspace reached its 300-second command limit before
model execution. The task then stopped with `setup_failed` and no
scheduled continuation. A separate full clone completed in 137 seconds
on a disposable Daytona sandbox. The original delay remains unexplained.
This change repairs the missing recovery path; it does not claim to
remove the underlying delay.

**Expected behavior**

A fresh, unpublished workspace preparation timeout can use the existing
two automatic retries. Retry scheduling remains durable and company
scoped. Stop, pause, dependencies, budgets, task ownership, saved work,
and retained native execution must still prevent unsafe work.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start preparation for a fresh remote workspace with no saved version
or published allocation.
2. Make its initial directory/clone command return a transport timeout.
3. Observe that the base code records a generic setup failure without
bounded recovery.
4. With this change, the owner validates current workspace authority and
preserves a specific bootstrap failure for the normal retry scheduler.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base: `e0276e0166`, including #18827.

**Deployment mode**

Native Paperclip Runner with sandbox workspace storage. Verification
uses real PostgreSQL, filesystem commands, and a separate live Daytona
transport probe.

## What Changed

- Recognize only the initial preparation timeout while the same company,
writer, and epoch still own a pristine workspace.
- Keep restore, additional repository, provisioning, save, changed
ownership, dirty workspace, and retained native execution failures
outside this recovery policy.
- Persist the typed failure before using the existing retry scheduler,
admission gates, and attempt budget.
- After successful terminal lease cleanup, reclaim an unpublished
bootstrap-only reservation even when a provider returns no stop receipt.
Preserve receipt requirements for saved/published work, unknown
execution, and native identities; do not synthesize termination
evidence.
- Prevent generic recovery from granting another budget after
exhaustion. Keep a specific recovery notice.
- Add regressions for persistence, concurrent scheduling, restart,
exhaustion, Stop, pause, dependencies, fresh allocation, lost replies,
and saved output after cold restoration.
- Document the recovery contract.

## Verification

- Red: the real-PostgreSQL workspace regression first failed because the
timeout had no recovery classification. The completion regression then
failed because it became `setup_failed`. A retained-native negative
failed before the admission guard. The review follow-up reproduced a
failed successor reservation after production lease release returned
void.
- Green: all 127 transport/archive/real-PostgreSQL workspace cases pass
after the review repair. All 12 receipt/void handoff cases pass against
the final query. The 141 complete completion/retry/recovery cases and
the fresh-allocation selection case pass. Safety cases cover concurrent
scheduling across restart, the two-attempt cap, Stop/pause/dependency
gates, native identities, saved/published files, active leases, failed
cleanup, and cold-restored output.
- `node scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs` and `pnpm build` pass at
`ba96cff771707415e4a5e893c8b3a97499ead25b`. `git diff --check` and the
module-boundary check pass. The full local test wrapper completed all
1,835 chat cases across six partitions, then was interrupted during its
serial general-server phase after the complete current-head CI suite
passed. Its interrupted run is not a full local-suite pass; its log is
retained. The owned process tree and database children exited.
- The [complete GitHub Actions
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41718108375)
is successful at this exact head, including all server/workspace/chat
partitions, all nine serialized groups, all eight browser shards, build,
typecheck, native Runner, package, Rust, and release-policy checks. The
first Rust worker shut down during cache restore before tests; one retry
passed without source changes. Expected Storybook skips remain skips.
- Earlier failures remain accounted for: the first typecheck found two
incomplete process-result fixtures, now corrected. An intermediate
completion run exposed a test double that returned no promise and a
teardown timeout; the complete 141-case suites subsequently passed. The
first-head CI had four worker shutdowns and one worker communication
loss. A three-second monitor settlement wait failed in CI and locally,
then all 21 cases passed unchanged at base and head. An earlier CI retry
found a real-process history adoption assertion failure; that exact case
passed locally at base and head. Both server groups pass in final-head
CI. These timing causes remain unknown. [Earlier CI
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41713712522).
- Live supporting evidence: unchanged production preparation code
completed a full repository clone in 137 seconds using Daytona SDK
0.203.0, Node 24.22.2, Git 2.39.5, and Linux x86_64, with 1 CPU, 1 GiB
memory, and 1 GiB disk. The approved diagnostic account could not access
the original fleet snapshot, so the probe used public
`node:24-bookworm`. Both probe allocations were deleted and absence
verified. Full task acceptance at the fixed revision remains unverified:
the original fleet snapshot and an explicitly configured disposable
Codex subscription fixture were unavailable. No CLI login or hosted
subscription was copied.
- Greptile is 5/5 at the final head with no actionable findings. The
Paperclip review finding is repaired, replied to, and resolved. The
separate **Paperclip Review** check remains queued. Its task failed
workspace export after publishing the first assessment; the staging
service was then observed showing a workspace recovery page after an
update failure. Subsequent browser rechecks timed out, including a fresh
tab, so the normal recovery control could not be used. Reconcile that
existing export after service access returns, then let the saved
current-head review request run. That external review is the remaining
check; this PR is not yet fully green.
- The original hosted task was last verified blocked. This PR has not
been deployed and the task has not been retried by this work.

Reviewers can run `pnpm test:run`, `node
scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`, and `pnpm build`. The
remote-workspace integration suite additionally needs an owned
disposable PostgreSQL database named `remote_workspace_*test` through
`PAPERCLIP_REMOTE_WORKSPACE_TEST_DATABASE_URL`; otherwise that suite is
skipped.

## Risks

Each retry keeps the existing preparation deadline, so persistent slow
clones can consume the bounded budget before intervention. A retry
receives fresh allocation admission; it does not replay the command
against the old allocation. The workspace owner checks persisted
authority before classifying the failure, and normal admission still
rechecks that authority. Historical generic setup failures do not gain
automatic replay. No database migration, provider-pack update, model
fallback, credential change, or deployment is included.

DottaandPaperclip 1f55073f96 fix(cursor-cloud): support API-only controllers on managed stacks (#18310)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents at work.
> - Cursor Cloud hosts execution behind its API.
> - Product setup still expected a Paperclip Computer.
> - Managed-only tenants therefore rejected valid setup.
> - This admits the validated API-owned controller.
> - Authority, Stop proof, budgets and cleanup remain enforced.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18068 and #18069; both dependencies have merged.

**What happened?**

Managed-only setup still requested a Computer. Live tests exposed
missing Cursor Stop proof and duplicate replay.

**Expected behavior**

Use Cursor’s API controller. Verify provider/controller termination and
replay each log identity once.

**Steps to reproduce**

Enable native Runner/managed-only. Configure Cursor model/repository/key
without a Computer, then Test, finish setup, run and Stop.

## What Changed

- Derive API-only placement from validated native Cursor configuration;
reject placement/command/workspace/home overrides and keep
Kubernetes-only execution closed.
- Skip Computers/checkout/workspace realization. Keep scoped tools,
completion, private staging, budgets, leases and recovery. Persist
placement; reject contradictions.
- Align Cloud cards, Test, Save and Finish setup; hold unready drafts.
Legacy keeps its Computer, credential and policy checks.
- Verify Stop from exact API ownership, audited intent,
provider-terminal proof, no Computer/process ownership and controller
retirement. Recheck immediate/deferred retirement; wake existing
recovery on durable evidence.
- Clear warnings when the actual stopped target later has authoritative
confirmation. Keep missing/other-run negatives and the existing
predicate.
- Publish safe status refresh after full-proof ACK. Retain bounded
native/physical cancellation history; add no poller or weaker proof
path.

## Verification

Core merged as `3910352c923a`; Product merged as `27d35314be8e`. Public
branch `5f86eb66b081` has tree `67344151d303`. Its exact-head Greptile
summary is 5/5; the fresh audit found zero unresolved threads and
complete pagination. The controlled workspace retry and required summary
passed. All 59 current-head contexts are terminal and clean. Prior
green-36 evidence keeps its identity.

[Current
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41680511731)
first failed workspaces-a 1/2: the CLI company-import/export beforeAll
30-second runtime-info/child-PID/HTTP readiness wait expired. All 431 UI
files/4,714 tests and 285 other CLI tests passed (one skip). The cause
remains UNKNOWN. Child output records startup recovery complete, but
buffered CI prefixes do not establish its relation to the waiter
deadline; runtime-file/PID/last-health state was not captured. Both
unchanged local probes were RED. The second observed dependency
preflight still pending at the deadline; observer overhead was not
quantified. Neither proves the CI cause. After all functional jobs
finished, only the queued metadata summary was cancelled; the other 48
records stayed unchanged. Attempt 1 retains 46 successes, the original
failure, one skip and the cancelled summary. One same-head debug retry
was admitted at 18:42 UTC on November 3. Its workspace job passed at
19:23 UTC on the same checkout: UI 431 files/4,714 tests and CLI 33
files/286 tests, including company import/export. Test caching was
disabled. The new `ci / verify` summary passed; workflow attempt 2
completed SUCCESS. Required `ci / e2e` also passed. The final check at
19:53 UTC on November 3 found all 59 current-head contexts terminal and
clean: zero pending and zero failing. The 47 inherited completed/skipped
rows are not new executions. No code, assertion or timeout changed;
success does not explain the original failure or erase the local REDs.

CI checkout is `1ea9d8608ced`/tree `78cb1ec13d59` (parents
`2e37c73c05fe`, 5f86); both workflows use 2e37. Its 20 extra paths add
low-memory build/Rust task-memory. Scripts cohere; later matrix changes
only labels, with no newer debug-cache steps. Static audit found no
blocker. Supported API arguments omit the memory flag: no default
monitor/instruction changes. Flagged external launchers can change
Cursor instructions/digests and remain unqualified.

The merge added 41 master-identical paths, retained the green-36 inbox
hunk and found UI fixtures matching upstream. Startup/backup, recovery
projection, sleep diagnostics and binary backup change production.
Static audit found eight Stop/ACK owner blobs and 37 sleep-work SQL
templates unchanged, with sleep fences/single-flight accounting intact.
Exact precommit tree: 416/416 across eight server files, binary backup
1/1, server types PASS; repeated scopes are not summed.

The deferred-retirement P1 reproduced three real-DB/owned-process
failures; missing proof stayed unverified. Recovery passed 47 process
cases/33 proof negatives. Warning repair binds actual targets to
same-run proof. Validation passed 729 scoped UI cases, a separate
359-case thread run, 111 backend cases (84 CAS, 6 assembled, 21
activity/privacy), types/tokens. Proof validators/predicate are
unchanged; no new poller or increased timeout.

The d8d3 attempt stays FAILED: 45 passes, two workspaces-a failures,
derived verify failure and one skip. Both shards shared three failures:
two successful mocks omitted the account guard’s required userId. The
two-line fixture repair changed no guard, assertion or timeout. Three
failures reproduced; 54 access/auth tests then passed, including
account-change/denial negatives, plus UI types/tokens.

The 69285 attempt stays FAILED: 49 jobs, 46 passed, serialized shard 9
failed, its verify aggregate failed and one selection job skipped. The
shard passed 575/576 cases. Its aborted-snapshot case expected nine
computes but saw eight: a final HTTP 200 coalesced while seven ordinary
reads had not proved the aborted compute settled. Earlier CI and the
unmodified local baseline passed with a miss; no local RED is claimed.
The repair awaits the snapshot, allows exactly one extra GET if
coalesced, then requires a miss and retains nine computes/all HTTP429
assertions. No production code, hook, loop, sleep or timeout changed.
Six inbox and seven cache/admission cases passed locally, plus server
types; 30 unrelated cases were filtered. Green 36 passed 576/576 without
taking the extra-GET branch; local runs also missed that schedule.
Current CI event merge 1ea9 now passed 576/576 and naturally exercised
the former failure: coalesced (count 2, 1ms), then exactly one fresh
miss (count 1, 16ms), with strict nine-compute/HTTP429 assertions
intact. No instrumentation or retry was added.

Earlier compatibility passed scoped remote/inbox, routine, API-placement
and UI tests, plus types/migrations/snapshots/maps/tokens. The 89-path
adoption restored fleet routing without workflow overrides or added
skips. Each result retains its source identity.

Live qualification remains actual `9af1a5de42a2`: unchanged Artifact
grader PASSED 17/17 and active-Stop grader PASSED 21/21. All three
provider test resources were deleted canonically with GET404;
post-delete download returned the exact 27 bytes. Histories stayed
stable (Artifact 121 and Stop 67 canonical identities), with 21 company
runs, zero active work and no accounting/cancellation/reservation debt
or integrity findings. Saved settings reopened; no-prompt Test/Linux
admission passed with `claude-sonnet-4-5`. No new Save is claimed.

The first Stop sampling case stays FAILED on a 10.373-second gap.
Unchanged retry kept all 24 samples: 35.076 seconds quiet, maximum gap
4.584 seconds, plus a separate CANCELLED/artifact-absent read after 180
seconds. Initial grading rejected locator spelling before functional
checks; metadata changed only after same-file/inode/byte proof, with raw
evidence/oracles unchanged. Original Question/Plan/reconnect and
historical deleted-artifact results keep their identities.

Git trees verified 11 history-only conflicts and six earlier mainline
paths. Hosted 9af to the public BRANCH differs in 222 paths; 13,500
other mode/blob leaves match. Runner runtime implementations and six
observer/driver pins match 9af on that branch only; inherited
`drivers/acpx/runtime-host.test.ts` differs. No all-Runner/src,
CI/latest-master runtime or image equality is claimed. Later static
audits through `8ab89f41e499` found no concrete API-only blocker. That
base adds completed-history sleep proofs and an MCP cleanup migration;
protected Stop/ACK owners are unchanged. These later changes are outside
this CI and have no live qualification here. Host duplicate-card and
later recovery/UI repairs retain separate proof, not deployed 9af
identity. Direct-key coverage requires absent aiConnection; API-only
placement skips inherited remote-workspace disk-full paths, and
config-read gates match their parent.

Other retained failures: stale fixture 132/133; E8 48/135 with 87
reset-hook failures; Mac 17 SQL failures/skips;
title/startup/custody/Stop/deletion unknown causes and bounded
recoveries; superseded warning/50 duplicate identities; pre-repair
ACK/Core CI failures. Fixture RED/GREEN passed 7/7 browser and 121/121
shutdown tests with a failing broken-unsubscribe control; stable WSP
wrapper passed 128 after physical teardown failure. No full local-suite
pass is inferred. All paid attempts remain recorded; vendor dollar cost
is UNKNOWN.

## Risks

Experimental: Cursor independently acknowledges neither the effective
model nor instruction digest before the first prompt. Explicit values
are submitted and behavior checked live; unpriced provider dollar cost
stays UNKNOWN.

The placement exception applies only to validated native Cursor API
execution. Other local work remains denied under managed-only policy.
Missing/stale Stop or cleanup proof stays pending; damaged archives
remain failed. Explicit Legacy keeps its existing policy owners.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex/GPT-6 family: tools, execution, browser checks, delegated
review. API ID/context window unavailable.

DottaandPaperclip e0c6992426 fix(heartbeat): prevent saved input starvation during queue reloads (#18819)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Accepted messages and task Retry requests use durable wake receipts.
> - The recovery worker loads receipts in pages of 100 and checks
batches of 25.
> - Company activity can reload those pages before the pending batch
drains.
> - Reloads reset ready receipts' dispatch times and can repeatedly
favor receipts already checked.
> - This pull request preserves the priority of unchecked ready receipts
so saved input can reach normal admission.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Saved input can remain deferred after the preceding run finishes.
Repeated company eligibility changes reset the dispatch times of pending
receipts during paginated reconstruction. A PostgreSQL regression checks
only 75 of 178 receipts on the original code despite twelve eligibility
changes.

**Expected behavior**

Each ready receipt must reach its admission check. Existing wait
deadlines, retry backoffs, authorization, and execution gates must still
apply.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Seed more than one page of deferred receipts.
2. Keep those receipts pending after their checks.
3. Send company eligibility notifications between scheduler passes.
4. Check that every receipt is reconsidered, including receipts later in
the backlog.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `367f29478d`.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source with PostgreSQL. The defect occurs before provider
execution.

Related: #10195 reports a similar starvation symptom in a different
promotion loop. #18621 added saved-input Retry after a successful run.
This change fixes fairness in the deferred-receipt worker.

## What Changed

- Add an optional entry merge callback to scoped deadline
reconstruction.
- Use it in the deferred-receipt worker to retain unread ready receipts'
priority while refreshing their state.
- Place receipts whose wait has expired into the ready queue during
reconstruction.
- Keep real wait, claim, and dispatch deadlines authoritative.
- Add a paginated starvation regression, real process dispatch coverage,
and GitHub lock-collision recovery coverage.
- Document the recovery fairness rule.

## Verification

- The PostgreSQL starvation regression checks only 75 of 178 receipts
before the fix. It checks all 178 afterward, both with ordinary receipts
and with expired execution waits.
- Seven focused scheduler cases pass, including moved interrupt grace,
moved native error deadline, fresh claim/wait deadlines, and
unchanged-gate grace.
- GitHub endpoint lock-collision recovery, retained board authority,
HTTP Retry, and five current admission-gate cases pass.
- Real process acceptance passes on the final code: task Retry crosses
the repeatedly invalidated backlog, reconstructs its persisted queued
run after a worker restart, saves `receipt-proof` in run output, and has
one successor for the Retry receipt. The test holds executor capacity
while advancing queue time, then starts fresh workers at PostgreSQL time
before releasing a real process lease. The defect is in admission
scheduling before provider execution; this acceptance uses PostgreSQL
and a local process adapter.
- The full workspace build and typecheck (`node
scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`) pass locally. The affected worker
suites pass 52 of 53 cases together; the existing native multi-company
batch case times out in that combined run and passes in isolation
without code changes. All new regression and acceptance cases pass.
- Local `pnpm test:run` stops in its first chat shard on three 15-second
timeouts (Teams long native HTTP picture delivery, direct final-response
materialization, and contended inbound notices). All three pass in
isolation without code changes. Later full-suite groups did not run
locally after that shard failure.
- [The full GitHub Actions matrix
passes](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41697489374)
on `ac91df2cc6db6c77529d923177b375b8c92efd45`, including all
general-test, serialized-server, browser, build, and typecheck jobs.
Server shard 8 initially failed an upstream process-adoption test and
passed its one rerun without code changes.
- [Greptile is
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18819#issuecomment-6612091535)
on the same current head, with no actionable findings or unresolved
review threads. The separate Paperclip Review check is neutral; its
previous request was bound to an older commit.

Focused command:

```sh
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/deferred-execution-receipt-work.test.ts server/src/__tests__/scoped-deadline-work.test.ts
```

## Risks

- Ready receipt order changes during repeated reconstruction. Admission
still reads current durable state.
- A ready receipt must not inherit an obsolete priority after it
acquires a future deadline. The merge applies only when both pending and
loaded entries are immediate. Deadline safety tests cover that boundary.
- The merge callback is optional. Other scoped workers retain their
current reconstruction behavior.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` in Codex, max reasoning effort, with tool use and
local code execution. The runtime does not expose the context-window
size.

DottaandPaperclip 4a38ff9c92 fix(ci): make Cloud readiness reruns and fixtures reliable (#18823)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and preserves task state.
> - Cloud readiness verifies an exact source revision before release.
> - Its workspace tests must wait for execution and database cleanup to finish.
> - Two attempts hit the same ten-second polling limit and read a running row.
> - The second attempt also lost AWS runners and exceeded a fixture cleanup limit.
> - This pull request waits for owned execution, bounds client shutdown, and gives verification reruns an independent runner pool.
> - Assertions, source identity and required verification gates stay in place.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

[Cloud readiness run 41684102136](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41684102136) failed twice on master `367f29478d14003cc5c0f161b7ce8f3164993634`.

Attempt 1 failed `heartbeat-workspace-busy.test.ts:473`: expected `succeeded`, received `running`. Attempt 2 failed the same helper in the inherited-workspace resume case at line 744. The helper polls for ten seconds, then returns the active row as if the wait finished.

Attempt 2 also exceeded the 30-second `workspace-preparation.test.ts` teardown limit. Its client close had no deadline, and database plus directory cleanup shared the default hook budget despite the fixture's existing 90-second startup budget.

Other attempt-2 failures show runner shutdown or lost communication. Several shutdown signals arrived at 18:05:17 UTC. Read-only AWS inspection confirms that all eight infrastructure-failed instances carry `runs-on-workflow-job-interrupted=true`. Five have explicit `Server.SpotInstanceTermination` reasons, including the server-1 runner that lost communication. Three were terminated through the fleet's shutdown path. CloudTrail records the Rust runner's interruption tag at 18:03:37 UTC and its termination by the RunsOn fleet role at 18:05:31 UTC, despite EC2 showing a user-initiated termination. Repeating the entire workflow reused the same Spot fleet.

**Expected behavior**

Wait for owned heartbeat execution before reading final state or scheduled retries. Bound database-client shutdown and allow the fixture's cleanup cost class to finish. Rerun verification on GitHub-hosted runners after an interrupted fleet attempt. Preserve all checks and report prior failures.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Delay the test adapter beyond the helper's ten-second polling window.
2. Invoke the ordinary local shared-workspace run or resume the deferred sandbox run.
3. Observe the old helper return `running` before the execution completes.
4. Evaluate the old runner expressions with `github.run_attempt = 2`; they still choose the interrupted AWS pool.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base: `367f29478d14003cc5c0f161b7ce8f3164993634`.

**Deployment mode**

GitHub Actions Cloud readiness, with disposable PostgreSQL fixtures.

Related: #11293 fixed the earlier gap between cancellation and retry-row insertion. This change waits for the complete execution instead. Duplicate searches covered the workspace test, retention fixture and runner shutdown reports.

## What Changed

- Replace both workspace-test polling helpers with the existing heartbeat completion barrier. Keep final status, retry and coordination assertions.
- Bound workspace-preparation client shutdown to one second. Apply the existing embedded-PostgreSQL fixture budget to its teardown.
- Use AWS only for the first exact-source attempt. Route later verification, chaos and cloud-migrator planning/build attempts to GitHub-hosted runners. The publisher keeps its existing routing. The final branch also incorporates upstream #18821's CODEOWNER routing fix.
- Add runner-expression coverage for numeric, string, missing and later attempt values. Document retry routing.

## Verification

- The original workflow's failed assertions and interrupted jobs remain linked above. A local two-suite run also passed all 157 assertions and failed only the original 30-second teardown hook.
- All 341 workflow contracts pass. After the master synchronization, all 347 routing and CI-planner controls pass. Actionlint passes for the three changed workflows.
- A matched delayed-adapter comparison uses disposable PostgreSQL 17 databases, the same 11-second adapter delay, and the same 90-second experimental outer budget. The old helper fails with `running`; the completion barrier passes. Production test deadlines stay unchanged.
- Earlier experiments hit a 30-second experimental outer limit and the macOS host's shared-memory limit during native database startup. The completed comparison uses task-owned databases on an existing test server. Those earlier attempts are not counted as passes.
- All 31 workspace-busy cases pass with normal test deadlines. The 126-case workspace fixture also passes with its 90-second teardown budget.
- Final-head cleanup measurements: main client close 7 ms, owned database cleanup 20,938 ms, and workspace-home removal 826 ms. A measured fixture held 124,494 PostgreSQL files (208 MiB) after repeated table resets. The measured database cleanup alone consumes most of the old 30-second hook budget. The separate baseline reproduced a timeout at that hook; the fixture now uses its established 90-second cost class.
- Repository typecheck and build pass on synchronized head `2aceb3abd144a569efddabed3b7e0550ea23ceb2`.
- All 157 focused cases pass on the synchronized branch, including complete PostgreSQL 18 fixture shutdown. [Full hosted CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41697804471) passes on the final head, including the required verification and E2E aggregates, all server/chat/workspace groups, Runner lanes and all eight browser shards. The separate GitHub quality-review workflow also passes. All 60 reported checks are terminal: 54 pass, three are informational neutral results, and three are expected skips. There are no failures or pending checks. The complete local `pnpm test:run` command was not run; targeted fixtures already encountered this host's shared-memory limit. Hosted CI supplies the full Vitest and browser matrix.
- Greptile and Paperclip Review both give synchronized head `2aceb3abd144a569efddabed3b7e0550ea23ceb2` 5/5. There are no open review threads.
- Module-boundary and whitespace checks pass.

## Risks

- Hosted reruns can have different cache hit rates and queue times. They execute the same source and verification commands.
- The first attempt retains the existing AWS Spot fleet policy. AWS evidence establishes several interruption-triggered failures; later verification attempts use an independent pool. This does not change the fleet's external capacity policy.
- The completion barrier waits for owned background execution. A hung execution still fails the test's outer deadline.
- The larger teardown budget remains finite. PostgreSQL's bounded stop protocol and cleanup errors still fail the hook.
- No production execution, database schema or provider contract changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository inspection, code edits and test execution. The runtime does not expose the exact serving model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 367f29478d fix(recovery): preserve the bound remote writer before continuation (#18803)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and preserves task files.
> - A remote workspace records the exact run that owns its unsaved
files.
> - A later setup failure can become the latest task run without owning
those files.
> - Retry only inspected that latest run, so the original writer had no
file-recovery owner.
> - A released reusable source also failed the legacy retention rule.
> - This change registers the bound writer, saves its files, and then
admits the saved user request once.
> - Existing stop, ownership, approval and execution-evidence checks
remain effective.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native run prepared a remote workspace and failed before finalization.
Its sandbox stopped with a dedicated stop receipt. The workspace stayed
dirty and retained that run as its writer. A later setup failure became
the latest task run. Retry inspected the newer run and left the original
file obligation unregistered. New attempts failed at the writer fence.

Registration alone was insufficient. After file recovery, continuation
still required the Retry source to be one of the older recovery sources.
A newer pre-provider failure did not satisfy that check. Workspace
selection could also choose a fresh directory instead of the recovered
files.

**Expected behavior**

Find the writer through the task's current workspace binding. Register
only its exact prepared source. Preserve the released lease and its stop
receipts. Save the files before continuation. Independently prove that a
newer setup failure never dispatched work. Select the verified saved
workspace and admit the Retry once.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Fail a native run with a prepared remote workspace and a released
reusable sandbox.
2. Keep matching dedicated stop receipts and the workspace's dirty
writer authority.
3. Record a newer pre-provider setup failure for the same task.
4. Request Retry. Before the fix, no file-maintenance record owns the
actual writer.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced before production edits on master `f7ad1dc7ca`. The branch
was rebased on master `adb49a44346849e751548b2fb640693dbfad4b6f`.

**Deployment mode**

Authenticated hosted execution with Paperclip Runner and remote
workspace storage.

Companion: #18798 (now merged upstream) fixes a pre-existing inbox test
synchronization race. Its test-only commit
`110aa88489cad926a451c972ad731ede469347c1` is cherry-picked here with
attribution so this PR can run the complete CI matrix.

Related: #17800 registers missing preservation for the selected source
run. #18678 holds unfinished remote exports. #18718 repairs a prior
warm-controller projection failure. #17916 addresses a separate legacy
warm-copyback policy case.

## What Changed

- Discover the failed writer through the company-scoped task/workspace
binding during Retry and authenticated message admission.
- Reuse the exact prepared-source validator for released remote
workspaces. Registration changes neither the lease policy nor its stop
receipts. Physical recovery retains its full allocation checks.
- Check a newer failed preparation separately before allowing an older,
repaired source to release continuation. Provider events, leases,
results and execution ownership remain disqualifying evidence.
- Select the bound saved workspace through the continuation's verified
repair receipt.
- Add PostgreSQL safety cases and an HTTP Retry workflow with real file
capture and saved-copy reads. Document the execution contract.
- Reuse #18798's completion barrier for the existing inbox cancellation
test; preserve its eight-slot limit, rejection and coalescing
assertions.

## Verification

- RED before production edits: the exact stopped writer has no
`workspaceRestoreRecovery` after Retry. Six unsafe-source controls pass
on the baseline.
- GREEN: the expanded Retry/message/preview selection passes 17 cases.
All 627 tests in the five affected recovery suites pass on recovery
commit `b572304f772d236b8a8bdf095e13e651d808f41c`, including Stop,
ownership, saved messages and duplicate Retry.
- The HTTP workflow registers maintenance, keeps execution held before
save, reads back the saved file bytes, and admits exactly one
continuation with `resume_preserved_workspace`. A registration-only
repair first failed after save because it did not reconcile the newer
Retry source. The incident-shaped pair passes with an independent active
stranded-task action present.
- Greptile identified the path where the newer setup failure already
owns a reconciliation hold. Its new regression failed before the
correction (saved files, zero queued continuations); the
contradictory-dispatch control passed. All four HTTP variants pass after
the correction, covering both hold shapes and both dispatch-evidence
controls.
- Repository typecheck and build passed. Server typecheck and build also
passed after the recovery changes. Module-boundary and whitespace checks
pass.
- The full local Vitest command failed in the GitHub fast-response
acknowledgement test (`delivery_unknown`: one response write instead of
zero). That isolated case passes on this branch and unchanged master;
the original full-run cause remains unestablished. A sibling run passed
199 test cases but timed out in workspace-suite database cleanup.
Unchanged master also passed all 126 workspace cases and timed out in
the same cleanup hook; all five acknowledgement outcomes passed in that
baseline comparison. These local failures remain recorded rather than
being reported as suite passes.
- The first hosted matrix failed the pre-existing inbox cancellation
assertion (expected nine computes, saw eight). The same assertion failed
in [master
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41664339150/job/126015526840)
and reproduced locally before applying #18798's existing repair. All six
inbox HTTP/database cases pass after that repair. Final head
`7f2fafcbace74cb1ad8ea68c8375a69b42ed30d9` adds only that attributed
test change to the verified recovery code.
- [Final hosted
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41677310377)
passes on head `7f2fafcbace74cb1ad8ea68c8375a69b42ed30d9`, including `ci
/ verify`, `ci / e2e`, typecheck, build, every server/chat/workspace
group, Runner checks and all eight browser shards. There are 54
successful check results, two informational neutral results and three
skipped results, with no pending or failing results.
- Greptile and the Paperclip reviewer both report 5/5 for that final
head; no review threads remain open. The Paperclip review check is
informational (`neutral`) and records its local-testing limitations.
- The file workflow uses real PostgreSQL, subprocess file capture,
encrypted saved objects and production recovery code. Provider
resume/stop calls are simulated at the environment driver boundary. This
does not prove a live Daytona or Codex recovery. No deployment or
original-task retry is claimed.

## Risks

- File-maintenance discovery must not authorize another executor.
Existing writer, coordinator and physical allocation checks still own
that decision.
- A false bootstrap summary cannot prove that a newer run never
executed. The new path also requires its immutable native-adapter claim,
unresolved preparation state, absent
coordinator/process/session/lease/result evidence, and no dispatch
events.
- Additional database reads run only during explicit task admission or
Retry strategy selection. They are company/task scoped and add no
polling loop. The saved-writer query returns one matching snapshot and
omits prompt bodies.
- No schema, credential, provider profile or deployment setting changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository inspection, code
execution and test tools. The runtime does not expose the exact serving
model ID or context-window size.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against `dc9f387edc`, before this change.

**Deployment mode**

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 27d35314be feat: connect experimental Cursor Cloud to native Runner (#18069)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents at work.
> - Native Runner owns execution and task authority.
> - Operators need an explicit native Cursor Cloud choice.
> - Tools/files need company, task, session and run scope.
> - This connects setup and lifecycle to Runner Core.
> - Legacy agents retain their selected runtime/history.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Depends on #18068. Managed-only API placement and API-owned Stop
containment are in #18310. Refs #5664, #11803, #17299, and #17471. No
duplicate native integration was found.

## What Changed

- Add explicit native setup, Test, saved settings and dispatch with
no-prompt account/catalog/callback checks.
- Scope MCP to company, agent, task, session and run through
authenticated HTTPS. Register verified artifacts/work products; preserve
unpriced accounting, completion and budgets.
- Connect Question/Plan continuation, cold handoff and admitted fresh
sessions; recheck waiting admission under the task lock.
- Present audited Stop intent while preserving physical containment
proof; bound typed Stop metadata. Preserve title edits through
preference/navigation readiness.
- Select one live/history representation per run to prevent duplicate
settled cards. Integrate upstream task/read-state/retry/schema contracts
and repair two test fixtures.

## Verification

Core #18068 merged normally as `3910352c923a`. Product head
`5a60f541c982` has passing repository CI/build/browser checks, including
required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`, plus a fresh exact-head Greptile
5/5 review with zero unresolved threads. Two non-required external app
checks remain pending: Paperclip Review is queued waiting for its
assigned agent; Superagent Security Scan is reviewing the diff. These
are not claimed completed. The normal merge endpoint enforces the
repository rules; no policy or status override is used. The dependent
Top PR is addressing its fresh deferred-Stop review finding.

Product `5a60f541c982` passed 270 UI and 20 selected
Cloud/native/disk-full tests, UI/server typechecks, tokens and maps.
Top’s clean normal merge passed tokens/maps/diff checks; its matrix is
pending. Earlier receipts retain Core’s 47 Rust, 4 compiled-native
retirement and 19 settlement controls, normal Runner build, and runtime
9af build/recursive typecheck. Reproduced loading/shutdown CI fixture
failures passed 7/7 browser and 121/121 unit tests, including a
broken-unsubscribe negative control. No timeout/oracle was relaxed.

The actual-parent restack adopts 75 mainline paths, including
schema/permission and generic runtime changes, beyond the prior two
fixture repairs and client projection fix. The full difference from
hosted `9af1a5de42a2` is therefore larger than four files; backend
source also differs. The merged config-read checks match Core391, and
the Cursor placement/runtime/relay/selection modules match frozen9af;
selected affected regressions pass. Paid proof keeps its actual 9af
source/image identity. The separately tested live/history card fix is
not claimed deployed on that host.

On 9af, original saved settings survived reopening and fresh no-prompt
Test authenticated catalog/model/binding; no new Save is claimed. Fresh
Linux admission passed. With `claude-sonnet-4-5`, Artifact downloaded
exact 27 bytes and matched 121 canonical identities in complete
S3-served history. First Stop’s strict quiet FAILED on a 10.373-second
gap despite independent cancellation/no late artifact. One targeted
unchanged-sampler retry retained all 24 samples: 35.076 seconds quiet /
maximum gap 4.584 seconds, 67 ordered canonical identities, and separate
CANCELLED/artifact-absent status after the original 180-second deadline.
The pre-reload duplicate settled card is disclosed. Exact-ID cleanup for
the three new provider agents is awaiting authorization, so full grades
and the fresh Artifact’s post-cleanup download remain blocked. A
historical deleted-provider artifact was newly downloaded on 9af;
original F226 Question/Plan/reconnect and cleanup proof keep their
identities.

Retained failures: stale fixture 132/133; E8 48/135 with 87 reset-hook
failures; Mac 17 SQL failures/skips; earlier
title/startup/custody/Stop/deletion failures with unknown causes/bounded
recoveries; `dea023` Stop’s warning/50 duplicate identities; pre-repair
ACK and original Core CI failures. WSP’s 251-assertion, 7/8-suite
attempt failed physical PostgreSQL teardown; the unchanged wrapper rerun
passed 128. Retry alone establishes no cause or full local-suite pass.
All paid attempts remain recorded; vendor dollar cost is UNKNOWN.

## Risks

Experimental: Cursor independently acknowledges neither the effective
model nor instruction digest before the first prompt. Explicit values
are submitted and checked through behavior; unpriced provider dollar
cost stays UNKNOWN.

Callbacks need authenticated reachable HTTPS. Scope, revocation,
budgets, completion and cleanup remain authoritative. Operator Stop
intent is separate from physical containment. Saved legacy agents retain
their selected runtime. Prior shared title-save/deletion failures remain
disclosed.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, assisted with reasoning, repository tools,
code execution, browser verification, and delegated code review. The
serving model’s exact API ID and context window are not exposed. No
value is inferred from the model catalog.

DottaandPaperclip e16de641ba fix(heartbeat): retain Stop and receipt debt after setup failure (#18776)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server owns execution, Stop delivery, and usage settlement.
> - A restored execution can fail during preparation.
> - A preparation failure does not prove that earlier provider work
never started.
> - Replacing its result metadata can remove an existing Stop and
falsely release its accounting hold.
> - This pull request preserves those obligations at the terminal write.
> - The benefit is honest cleanup and receipt debt without new execution
authority.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A recovered native run can fail a configuration check before dispatch in
the new controller. The setup failure writes bootstrap metadata with
`providerWorkStarted: false`. It also replaces the previous result
metadata. This can remove a pending native Stop. Accounting then accepts
the new bootstrap flag and releases the original hold despite an
incomplete receipt.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the current run-Stop and receipt debt when setup fails after
earlier native execution. Preserve an acknowledgement that commits
during the failure write. Fresh setup that never dispatched must remain
eligible for pre-provider settlement. Keep account-identity checks
effective.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Save admitted native execution, an active provider checkpoint, an
original held reservation, and an audited pending run-only Stop.
2. Recover the run and fail preparation with an account configuration
error before the new controller dispatches.
3. Run ordinary cost reconciliation with an incomplete receipt.
4. Observe that the base removes the Stop and releases the hold as if
the run never started.

Related: #18682 repairs exact-session Stop cleanup after restart. This
change protects setup failure before that path. #18702 handles AI
connection-request waits. #18035 proposes broader accounting policy.
#18778 separately handles retained cleanup across account changes.
Account, budget, and receipt authority are unchanged here.

## What Changed

- Mark setup-failure status writes through an internal lifecycle option.
At the atomic write, a prior coordinator attempt bound to the same run,
company and task prevents false pre-provider evidence, even with a stale
loaded profile. Lock the coordinator before the run so an in-flight
claim cannot be missed. Selected execution input alone does not imply
provider work.
- Keep genuine pre-dispatch setup eligible for settlement after fresh
native input is persisted, whether the loaded profile is current or
stale.
- Preserve only exactly bound native run-Stop fields from the current
database row during failure writes, including the intentional handoff
marker. Keep the latest acknowledgement when the update waits behind
another writer. Normal Stop delivery still advances its own metadata.
Replace unrelated stale result fields.
- Add real PostgreSQL regressions for receipt debt, original holds,
stale snapshots, late acknowledgement, fresh setup, dispatched work, and
foreign or task-scoped metadata.
- Update the execution contract.

## Verification

- On untouched master, the recovered-setup regression fails six
assertions: Stop removal, false bootstrap evidence, false accounting
settlement, lost debt, and released hold. The fresh-setup control
passes.
- A second regression fails four assertions with the first repair
present when the loaded profile lacks the current saved execution. The
atomic current-row check fixes that case.
- The focused safety selection passes. It includes real row-lock
contention. A controlled concurrent writer seeds audited acknowledgement
state while the terminal update waits. The product code retains that
state and creates no acknowledgement or provider turn. This race test
does not prove physical provider termination.
- Fresh native and legacy setup can settle without a receipt. Dispatched
native and legacy work keeps its debt. Foreign run, company, issue and
task-scope metadata stays excluded. Unrelated old result fields are
replaced.
- After the final review fixes, all three completion, Stop and
budget-cancellation suites pass: 121 tests. The exact `pnpm run
typecheck:build-gaps` entry point passes after the final source and
service-test edits. Module-boundary checks pass. An ordinary adapter
pre-provider receipt control also passes.
- Native review also found that fresh selected input could be mistaken
for prior execution. Real-admission loaded/stale cases fail against the
earlier head; a prior-attempt-only control passes. The correction uses
the bound coordinator attempt and includes a foreign-task negative.
Reservation `providerStartedAt` is stamped at reservation creation and
is not used as provider-work evidence.
- A row-lock regression also exposes a first execution claim committing
during the terminal write: the prior statement snapshot misses it and
falsely releases the hold. Locking the exact coordinator before the run
fixes that race and preserves the existing claim lock order. Concurrent
Stop acknowledgement tests remain green.
- Review found two preservation gaps. New real-database reds show
handoff classification loss and overwritten budget Stop delivery
progress. Failure-only preservation and the bounded handoff marker
address them.
- Initial helper-import and reservation-order fixture errors are
retained separately from causal failures. No assertion or deadline was
relaxed to pass the regression.
- Current-head Greptile is 5/5. The optional native review stopped
before completing and returned NEUTRAL; this is not substantive
approval. Its prior finding was reproduced and fixed. Coordinator and
independent source/evidence reviews found no additional issue; neither
is a hosted recovery test.
- These are local database tests with saved provider state. No hosted
recovery, physical provider termination, historical-state repair, or
deployment is claimed. Full repository tests and build passed in
current-head CI: 55 successful checks, three expected skips, and the
explicitly incomplete optional native review returned NEUTRAL. Required
verify and e2e aggregates passed.

## Risks

- The current database row must retain canonical Stop state while
replacing other result metadata. The preservation is limited to the same
native run, company, issue and run-only Stop scope.
- Setup-failure history checks keep uncertain work pending. They do not
create a receipt, acknowledgement, reservation or charge.
- The setup-only write option leaves ordinary adapter pre-provider
receipts unchanged. No account-identity, budget, dispatch, or provider
authorization gate is bypassed.
- Already overwritten historical state needs separate evidence and
repair. This change does not reconstruct it.
- No schema, public API, provider profile, or deployment setting changes
are required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, `gpt-6.1-sol`, Extra High reasoning, with source
inspection, code execution, and regression testing. Context-window
capacity is not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 3910352c92 feat(runner): add experimental Cursor Cloud provider (#18068)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Runner gives each provider durable execution, tool, and completion
contracts.
> - Cursor Cloud currently has a direct adapter outside that native
contract.
> - Cloud work needs exact ownership across HTTP, SSE, Stop, and
recovery.
> - This PR adds a qualified Cloud API driver and verified proxy to
Runner.
> - Product setup and hosted placement remain separate dependent
changes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #5664, #11803, #17299, and #17471. Product integration is #18069.
Managed-only API placement is #18310. The related direct-adapter
model/transcript work is not replaced. No duplicate native Cursor Cloud
integration was found.

## What Changed

- Add native `cursor_cloud` / `cursor_cloud_api` with explicit
model/repository validation, bounded HTTP/SSE, durable per-turn
checkpoints and a qualified Node proxy launched through the Rust facade.
- Commit terminal custody before publication/release; coalesce
consumers, preserve ambiguous create/Stop/recovery fences, reject late
tools, and distinguish definitely-unsent oversized requests from
ambiguous responses.
- Support scoped cold attachment, current authority, reconnect and
verified artifact staging. Keep unsupported warm/external and Windows
paths closed.
- Preserve early source cursors and verify immutable legacy prefixes
before suffix replay, including supported compaction/masking. Optional
proof publication failure falls back to complete cold verification.
- Preserve canonical records at the durable native producer with
JSON-safe privacy and the existing 8MiB bound; drain admitted successor
flushes. Reconcile upstream semantic/pack/schema/lifecycle changes and
retain S3 and legacy CLI checks.

## Verification

Core head `37c442ec8dd4`: all 66 check contexts are terminal
successful/neutral/skipped, including required `ci / verify` and `ci /
e2e`; fresh exact-head Greptile is 5/5 with zero unresolved threads.
Dependent Product `81e828d20a77` and Top `dd2959689627` include the
later client handoff correction and are running their own fresh gates.

Core: 47/47 Rust, 4/4 compiled-native retirement, 19/19 settlement and
normal Runner build passed. Runtime Top `9af1a5de42a2`: build and
recursive typecheck passed. Earlier source-scoped evidence includes 398
focused tests, five relay tests and token/type gates. The 251-assertion,
7/8-suite run failed physical PostgreSQL teardown; the unchanged stable
WSP suite passed 128 through the documented wrapper.

The downstream fixture corrections passed 7/7 browser and 121/121
startup tests without timeout/oracle relaxation; a broken-unsubscribe
control fails. Hosted runtime `9af1a5de42a2` has a passing normal build
and recursive typecheck. Latest dependent heads additionally contain a
pure client fix for stale live/history overlap, with 48 focused tests,
UI typecheck and token gates passing. Its new client is not deployed in
the frozen hosted image; server/native/API/provider source is unchanged
by these four downstream files.

Fresh hosted Linux admission on `9af1a5de42a2` retired its owned
runner/proxy/socket with zero prompts. The saved configuration survived
reopening, and Test authenticated the bound key/catalog/selected model
without a prompt. Artifact with `claude-sonnet-4-5` completed,
downloaded the exact 27 bytes, matched 121 canonical identities against
complete logs and independently reached FINISHED. The active Stop retry
was clicked within its immutable boundary, produced one canonical
interrupted turn and acknowledged run-only cancellation, retained a
valid 35.076s quiet window (maximum gap 4.584s), and independently
remained CANCELLED/artifact-absent beyond the original 180-second
command deadline. All provider-observer credential callbacks, DB clients
and loaders closed; accounting is settled and explicitly unpriced. The
first fresh Stop retains its failed 10.373s sampling gap and every
sample.

On the upgraded9af server, the historical F226 artifact was reopened and
downloaded with its exact original hash after its provider agent had
been deleted/GET404 earlier today. Historical F226 full Artifact/Stop
cleanup, Question, corrected Plan and reconnect retain their original
identities. Deleting the three newly created disposable provider agents
and the new-case post-delete grade remain blocked on explicit user
approval after automatic review rejected expanding the two original
approved IDs. No new-case cleanup or complete fresh matrix pass is
claimed; this is separate from the directly observed task/Stop behavior
and retained exact cleanup proof.

Retained failures: stale fixture 132/133; E8 48/135 with 87 reset-hook
failures; Mac 17 SQL failures/skips; earlier startup-title, title-save,
custody/Stop and deletion failures with unknown causes and bounded
recoveries. `dea023` Artifact passed 17 checks but Stop failed its false
warning and 50 duplicate log identities. Pre-repair ACK failure and
original Core CI failure remain recorded; retry alone establishes no
cause or full local-suite pass. Provider dollar cost stays UNKNOWN.

## Risks

Experimental: Cursor independently acknowledges neither the effective
model nor instruction digest before the first prompt. The caller’s
explicit values are submitted and behavior checked live. Unpriced
provider dollar cost stays UNKNOWN.

Only qualified per-turn controllers are admitted. Uncertain work and
incomplete cleanup stay fenced. Existing damaged/duplicate archives
remain failed evidence. Prefix proof adds bounded object-store I/O; the
8MiB producer bound does not guarantee future providers’ output fits.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, assisted with reasoning, repository tools,
code execution, browser verification, and delegated code review. The
serving model’s exact API ID and context window are not exposed. No
value is inferred from the model catalog.

DottaandPaperclip b22ef22d56 fix(runner): show provider failure details on tasks and runs (#18622)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner starts providers and records their run outcomes.
> - Provider failures can contain useful details below a generic
protocol error.
> - Those details were lost at the sidecar, command receipt, and run
projection boundaries.
> - A blocked task therefore showed a generic failure even when the
provider gave a clear reason.
> - This pull request carries a bounded, sanitized provider failure
through those boundaries.
> - Operators can read the actual cause on the task and run pages.
Existing recovery policy still controls retries.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17543 for the related closed JSON-RPC classification work. Refs
#17272 for provider recovery in the legacy OpenCode adapter. This change
adds display evidence for native Runner providers and keeps recovery
policy separate.

**What happened?**

A native Claude session returned an HTTP 429 message below an ACP
`Internal error`. The task and run showed only a generic startup
failure. Operators had to inspect the provider response to learn that
the account was rate limited.

**Expected behavior**

The task and run show the sanitized provider message, provider name,
startup or turn phase, and available HTTP status. Unknown categories
keep the message. Display evidence does not grant a retry or replace a
recovery decision.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native Claude run whose account is rate limited during model
selection, or return a structured provider failure from a Codex or
OpenCode turn.
2. Let the run fail and open its task page.
3. Before this change, the page shows a generic failure. With this
change, the page shows the provider explanation. The run page shows the
same explanation after reload.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Source checkout based on `f8a888a072`.

## What Changed

- Add one JSON Schema for `ProviderFailure` and generate matching Runner
and shared TypeScript readers. Keep the Runner package independent of
the app workspace at runtime.
- Normalize known ACPX, Codex, and OpenCode error fields. Preserve
unknown messages. Redact known credential values and credential patterns
before applying the 4,000-character limit. Do not copy response bodies,
headers, stacks, or prompts.
- Carry startup failures through the sidecar, Rust Runner, durable
command receipts, and private transport error details. Keep provider
text out of generic transport error strings and Sentry failure messages.
- Keep turn failures in authenticated run events. Recover the same
evidence from persisted events during server finalization. Store the
cause in the company-scoped run result.
- Show one shared notice on failed tasks and run details. Keep existing
retry permissions, scheduled retry state, and resolved-task behavior.
- Reapply registered run-secret and current-user redaction to task
display data. Batch secret lookups for only the visible provider causes.
- Document the contract and update the capability maps. Add regressions
for nested Claude 429 errors, OpenAI quota and rate limits, OpenCode
errors, redaction, durable receipt replay, restart finalization, and UI
rendering.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed. `pnpm build` passed. All GitHub Actions
build, test, package, and validation jobs passed on `d49c79ab4a`. The
security checks passed. Greptile gave this head 5/5 with no open review
threads. Paperclip Review remains pending. Its review worker exhausted
six workspace recovery attempts with export_interrupted. A fresh review
request was accepted and is waiting for that saved workspace. The
ordinary Retry action rejected reuse of the stopped request. This is an
external review-worker blocker; no check was overridden. The duplicate
local `pnpm test:run` was stopped after the CI test shards passed.
- Focused server settlement, provider evidence, and restart tests: 93
passed. Runner admission and normalization tests: 103 passed. Focused
Runner wire and terminal tests: 29 passed. The real Rust/sidecar command
receipt replay test passed.
- The new projection test failed before implementation because the task
had no provider cause. The startup producer regression also failed
before extraction moved ahead of the generic error-code replacement.
Both pass with this change.
- Live check: a rebuilt local sidecar received an actual Claude HTTP 429
during startup. The new cause kept the full provider message. A
synthetic task in an isolated local app then reached the same provider
error through the native Runner path. The dedicated run result, task
API, task banner, and run detail all showed the same message after
reload. The later reporting fix keeps run.error generic; a regression
proves the display cause still survives restart and stays out of Sentry
capture.
- The first isolated app attempt failed earlier in
`admission_credential`. An ordinary manual Retry reached the provider
and produced the 429 above. This PR does not claim to fix that separate
admission failure. An initial parallel local database test setup also
failed; the serial restart suite passed.
- Security review found that copying display text into run.error could
forward it to Sentry. A regression failed with that behavior. The fix
keeps the cause in its display field. All 38 settlement/restart tests
and the server typecheck pass.
- All 29 protocol contract tests pass, including bounds and extra-field
rejection. An earlier full Rust core run passed. The later full run hit
one 5-second receipt-limit timing assertion; its isolated rerun passed.
The full Linux and Windows Rust CI jobs passed on this head.
- Review regressions pass for explicit Codex driver identity, native
Rust startup and resume receipt propagation, oversized OpenCode/ACPX
errors, task read-time registered-secret redaction, and the standalone
source closure. The focused Runner run passed 103 tests;
projection/restart tests passed 16.
- Read-time redaction edge cases passed: a missing decryption key omits
only the unsafe optional explanation; expanded redacted messages remain
visible within the Unicode character limit. All 14 task projection tests
and server typecheck pass.
- The package Build check found an old Pi assertion against
Error.message. The probe now checks the exact closed classification in
the authenticated receipt and requires the new provider cause. Both
polling transport cases pass. A local credential-free Pi probe stopped
at admission_installation because this checkout lacks the Pi
distribution; the installed Linux package probe passed in CI on this
head.
- UI coverage includes startup and turn text, unknown categories,
literal rendering of provider text, read-only retry behavior, and
resolved-task suppression. Token gates and map checks passed.
- The live check covers Claude startup on macOS. Codex, OpenCode,
terminal failures, and restart paths have deterministic regression
coverage. The change is not deployed.

## Risks

- Provider messages are untrusted text. The boundary selects specific
fields, redacts credential patterns and known environment secret values,
bounds the message, and renders plain text. New provider-specific secret
formats may need added redaction patterns.
- Optional fields preserve compatibility with older producers and stored
runs. Old runs without the field keep their current fallback text. No
database migration is required.
- The cause stays in company-scoped run data. This change does not send
provider text to first-party Telemetry or add it to OpenTelemetry span
attributes.
- Normalized categories and retryability are display evidence. Existing
recovery classifiers, retry limits, ownership checks, and approval gates
keep their authority.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser verification. The host does not expose the exact
serving variant or context window size.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

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

**Deployment mode**

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 16643a6e03 fix(runner): recover pending Stop cleanup after controller restart (#18682)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server owns execution, Stop delivery, and usage settlement.
> - A Stop can remain pending when the controller restarts.
> - Recovery must reach the existing session without starting more paid
work.
> - Startup and budget fences currently block that cleanup, and
interrupted runs leave the restart selection.
> - This pull request gives exact audited Stop cleanup a shared
authority check and records its real acknowledgement.
> - The benefit is safe cleanup while usage debt remains honest.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A pending native run-only Stop can retain an unfinished execution owner
after controller loss. Its startup cancellation fence prevents recovery
admission. If teardown marks the run interrupted and clears its task
lock, restart selection also omits it. A recovered session can receive
cancellation without the durable acknowledgement that the normal Stop
request would save.

**Expected behavior**

Recover only the existing remote session for the audited pending Stop.
Keep fresh provider work blocked, including during budget pause. Keep
incomplete usage pending until a real complete receipt arrives.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native run with a held reservation and an authenticated
remote checkpoint.
2. Persist a run-only Stop and its startup and execution cancellation
fences before acknowledgement.
3. Lose the controller. Leave the coordinator unfinished, mark the run
interrupted, and clear its task lock.
4. Attempt restart recovery and observe the missing claim or
cancellation admission rejection.

Related work: #14733 binds caller Stop requests. #18658 handles plugin
startup cleanup obligations. #18035 proposes broader accounting changes.
This change repairs existing-session Stop recovery and preserves current
accounting guards.

## What Changed

- Add one shared check for the exact run, company, issue, pending Stop,
intent audit, live recovery lease, generation, and remote reattachment
disposition.
- Include eligible interrupted Stop owners in restart selection. Keep
generic interruptions and another task execution owner fenced.
- Reuse only the original held reservation for cleanup. Keep budget
pause effective for fresh, bootstrap, dead-runner, and unproven recovery
work.
- Apply the same cleanup authority at heartbeat runtime selection and
native entry. Skip attachment staging and warm-owner retirement only for
that exact cleanup. Revalidate at session publication and fail closed if
the proof changed.
- Send the existing Stop through the audited cancellation producer
before turn submission. Close the coordinator only after
acknowledgement, including system-owned run-only Stops.
- Give verified cleanup a transport purpose that retains pending
semantic inputs without replay, dispatch, or a semantic reply. Add an
explicit Core retain-only intake mode; preserve authenticated identity,
schema, digest, sequence and replay checks. Ordinary execution still
requires its dispatcher.
- Add PostgreSQL, native protocol, and startup-fence regressions. Update
the execution contract and recovery maps.

## Verification

- The combined Stop regression fails on unchanged production at the
cancellation reservation guard. Interrupted restart selection also fails
before the repair while its running sibling passes.
- An assembled `heartbeatService.recoverNativeRunsAfterRestart`
regression exposes the earlier runtime-selection fence with the rest of
the repair present. The fixed path reaches selector/claim, runtime
selection, original held-budget reuse during pause, dispatch, real
native protocol, audited cancellation, and heartbeat settlement. It
starts no provider turn, acquires no new sandbox, and does not reclaim
the task lock.
- Fail-if-called attachment staging and turn boundaries remain
untouched. A retained warm-owner regression prevents retirement.
Invalidation at session publication fails closed. Actual backend/driver
constructor tests verify cleanup-purpose forwarding, absent default
options, and denial under foreign ownership.
- Missing usage retains accounting debt and the hold. A later complete
receipt records one 25-cent charge and settles that same hold.
Concurrent duplicate cleanup is denied. Both user-owned and system-owned
Stops pass.
- Real transport tests: 9 pass on Node 24.22.1. They preserve ordinary
saved-tool and completion recovery, prove the authority-denial race
before cancellation, and qualify cleanup with pending
ordinary/completion inputs and either handler ordering.
- Real authenticated Core intake: 11 pass. Callback-present and
callback-absent retain-only cases persist and acknowledge unanswered
input without dispatch, recovery or result. Default missing-dispatcher
rejection and digest-integrity/suspension guards remain effective.
Omitting the callback alone first failed by disconnecting; the explicit
retain-only mode fixes that defect.
- Repository `pnpm -r typecheck`, the server/runner-vendor build, map
checks, and module boundary checks passed locally before integrating the
latest retained-startup change. That integration passes 11 native
startup/cleanup compatibility cases and 3 assembled recovery/accounting
cases. The final broad affected-suite attempt was stopped without a
verdict; it is incomplete. Full repository tests and build are delegated
to current-head GitHub CI.
- Review exposed an additional real-process close failure with
unanswered input. The corrected path requires a fresh exact
provider-stop receipt confirming exit, followed by durable event drain
and exact runner suspension. All 11 focused transport cases pass,
including missing/false exit-proof negatives and ordinary recovery
siblings. Runner TypeScript and map validation pass after this
correction.
- The assembled test controls provider, workspace-transfer and GitHub
bootstrap I/O. It does not qualify hosted credentials, physical provider
termination, workspace preservation, or historical receipt recovery.
Local socket-permission setup failures are separate from semantic
regression results. No hosted replay has run on this repair.

- CI exposed an ordinary factory-call compatibility regression and an
obsolete authority-read test fixture. The repair preserves
single-argument ordinary calls and updates the race fixture without
changing its Stop assertions. The complete native executor suite now
passes all 1,049 tests; the ordinary factory boundary and all five
Stop-accounting cases pass. A separate local environment-default case
twice exceeded its five-second wait while other work ran; its prior-head
CI case passed. The same unchanged case passed an isolated diagnostic
without changing its assertion or timeout; the precise contention source
remains unproven.

- The final fixture edit initially used the wrong overloaded promise
type. CI rejected it; the annotation-only correction passes the exact
`pnpm run typecheck:build-gaps` entry point locally, including server
service tests and remaining workspaces. No runtime assertion changed.

- Final exact head `007fd4d04a2d6338c6dc073e97ab470a277fc3d0`: required
`ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`, build, typecheck and test groups pass.
Greptile is 5/5 with both findings resolved. Three expected checks are
skipped; the optional native check is neutral, while its final
current-head comment gives 5/5 from source inspection without a checkout
or test execution. The first server-shard attempt lost its self-hosted
runner connection; one scoped rerun passed. Its original annotation and
unavailable-log evidence are retained.

## Risks

- This changes execution authority. Cleanup requires an audited, exactly
bound pending Stop, an unfinished coordinator, a live remote
reattachment claim, and the original held reservation. It never
authorizes a replacement provider turn.
- Missing checkpoint, original held reservation, termination, or usage
evidence can keep cleanup or accounting pending. The repair does not
manufacture acknowledgement, replies, receipts, or zero cost.
- Retain-only intake is an internal trusted constructor option. It
changes no agent tool permission. Ordinary callback requirements and
semantic dispatch remain unchanged.
- No schema, public API, provider profile, or deployment setting changes
are required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, `gpt-6.1-sol`, Extra High reasoning, with source
inspection, code execution, and regression testing. The context-window
capacity is not exposed in this session.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip a9b18e1cbe fix(runner): preserve cleanup ownership across startup failures (#18658)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip controls which run owns an agent task.
> - A plugin can continue accepted work after Core stops waiting.
> - A late task-creation reply can therefore arrive after startup
cancellation.
> - Core must keep that work owned until its resource identity and
cleanup outcome are known.
> - This PR supplies the cleanup and recovery support before shared
startup is enabled.
> - The dependent activation PR can then reuse transport data within a
bounded startup context.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18405. This is the independently mergeable prerequisite for that
stacked activation PR.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Cleanup of explicitly recorded startup work that outlives its caller.

**Current behavior**

Caller timeout, worker exit, or failed cleanup-intent persistence can
leave work without a complete recovery path.

**Proposed behavior**

Retain the cleanup obligation, use existing Stop and recovery queues,
and release ownership only after the exact task and accepted work have
stopped. Ordinary calls keep their existing startup payloads and
budgets. This PR does not create startup contexts or advertise transport
reuse.

**Reason and benefit**

Separate the failure-handling contract from activation so each can be
reviewed on its own. This support PR has **no standalone TTFT speedup**.

## What Changed

- Add the startup cleanup marker, exact ownership checks, verified
completion, and acknowledgement helpers.
- Connect recorded cleanup obligations to existing Stop, deadline
reconciliation, restart recovery, and retry scheduling.
- Retain typed cleanup responsibility when a database write fails. Keep
the nonterminal run from being treated as ordinary completed cleanup.
- Observe late acquisition results and save resource identities before
retiring them. Retain real host writes and received results across
worker exit or persistence failure.
- Queue abandoned replacement tasks through the existing creation
journal and cleanup machinery. Require the replacement's own Stop proof.
- Accept an explicit startup context in the internal bridge for lifetime
tracking. Automatic context creation, marker production, capability
advertisement, transport capture, and executor activation belong to
#18405.
- Add PostgreSQL and worker IPC regressions, including legacy payload
assertions.

## Verification

Initial split source `8fb482d8be9e70101b0cfdd0830f41cf5b8e3cf4` had tree
`95508bd1859e991670cad8afd4de8d2167009ac5`. **190 distinct targeted
tests pass**, along with server typechecking. The selected checks cover
real PostgreSQL cleanup/ownership, worker IPC, the bridge and creation
journal, ordinary/distributed Stop, restart and deadline recovery,
idle-sleep behavior, and the unchanged legacy warm-task suite.
Independent recovery and worker reviews found no blocking issue.

The first correction, `b6342d42042601b376da38dc8e1dba9ca80e9539`, fixes
the replacement cleanup finding with the existing startup-cleanup
marker, scoped to contextual abandoned task creations. The replacement
was never prepared, so preparation-stop proof is not required. No
dispatch is fabricated and no normal-startup query is added. The actual
queue/sweep/driver/receipt/cancellation regression fails before the fix
and passes after it: void, running or foreign-task status retains
ownership; exact-task stopped status permits completion even when
Release returns void. **64 affected targeted cases and server
typechecking pass**. Independent review found no blocker.

Current source is `f53af72af76f263096c3c2e788506e6faef9474f`. It fixes
both recovery findings from the prior head's Apex 3/5: orphan recovery
now preserves pending or completed-but-not-cancelled cleanup through its
existing final-write fence, and exact late identities can reach verified
cleanup after reconciliation or restart. The regression selection went
from four failing assertions to six passing cases. Affected selections
cover 217 distinct cases; the exact final six-case regression and server
typecheck pass. Independent reviewers found no blocker in either fix.
Current-head standard review is 5/5 and all CI checks pass (54
successes, three expected skips, plus Snyk). Apex also completed at
**5/5** on this exact head, with zero unresolved threads. The requested
independent availability audit is complete on this head. It found an
activation-dependent operability gap: an acquisition response that is
never received can leave an unknown creation identity with no supported
task inspection/reconciliation path, while cleanup keeps the run owner
reserved. This does not occur in ordinary lower-only calls. The contract
and recovery policy need follow-up before activation; the external
review scores do not resolve that availability tradeoff.

The split preserves the accepted implementation at `21db7b3851` after
its clean merge with frozen master
`946735d03a55c1fb4cc5434d6bf1d87742daa9df`. The initial dependent
activation PR restored exact aggregate tree
`f68c6895f87c7b93ae03e6324d955d2659a99dce`. Both subsequent cleanup
corrections are integrated into upper head
`27978f294a02da3992585c7f4daa73cd8fcf99f8`; its current aggregate tree
is `a0b66c33f5e22745f034f45d24d213f5c210cf16`. Lower-only payload tests
cover the absence of capability advertisement and transport projection.

Only targeted local tests and typechecking are used. Full regression
coverage runs in GitHub CI. No deployment or ROM qualification is part
of this change.

The lower audit covered connected worker, creation-journal, Stop,
restart, deadline and orphan-recovery paths. A new isolated
real-PostgreSQL characterization reproduced the unknown-ID hold through
actual recovery, cleanup verification and run-control cancellation. It
models a lost acquisition response; it is not a live provider or
complete IPC test. No source edits were made by the audit. The
upper/composition audit remains required after its review cycle.

## Risks

- Recording a replacement result now commits with the existing cleanup
notification. This conditional replacement path adds
transaction/notification responses; common retained startup is
unchanged.
- This adds cleanup and recovery state handling. A missing receipt or
permanently inaccessible old backend can keep ownership held
indefinitely. Temporary outages retry; an ordinary retry is not evidence
that a deleted or replaced backend stopped.
- A caller timeout does not undo work already accepted by a plugin.
Unknown resource creation remains unresolved until its identity/outcome
is established. Current task creation has no supported
inspect-by-operation or operator reconciliation API for a permanently
lost identity; repeated Stop alone cannot resolve it.
- The support code understands records produced by the dependent
activation PR. It does not enable the shared startup policy by itself.
- Existing legacy callers must retain their behavior; context-only
automatic replacement cleanup remains explicitly scoped.

DottaandPaperclip b4315943e8 fix(heartbeat): keep remote retry workspace strategy stable (#18660)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip preserves agent work across separate execution services.
> - A remote retry can create a new isolated Git workspace.
> - Later admissions compare its saved configuration with the current
policy.
> - Fresh preparation also creates a temporary controller-side strategy.
> - Remote preparation saved that temporary strategy in its fingerprint.
> - The next unchanged turn then reported a workspace strategy
replacement.
> - This change saves the admitted remote strategy so unchanged reuse
stays stable.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related preparation work: #18543 and #17924. I searched open and merged
workspace/session repairs and public workspace-strategy issues. None
covers this fresh remote retry case.

**What happened?**

After Retry created an isolated remote Git workspace, each unchanged
follow-up reported `workspace_config_freshness` with `action: replace`
and `changedCategories: [strategy]`. It retained the same workspace. The
stored fingerprint contained `project_primary`, which was only a
temporary controller provisioning choice.

**Expected behavior**

Save the configured remote strategy. An unchanged follow-up must reuse
the same workspace without a false replacement report. A real strategy,
base-ref, mode or environment change must retain its replacement checks.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Prepare a fresh isolated remote Git retry with a `git_worktree`
strategy.
2. Complete its runtime handoff.
3. Admit another turn with the same workspace policy.
4. Inspect the recorded workspace freshness decision.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `b9e94b85a69bf679818eeef9ecf4655554a89c6b`. The regression
also fails on the unchanged preparation code in the current base.

**Deployment mode**

Authenticated server with remote workspace authority and a sandbox
execution target.

## What Changed

- Keep the admitted strategy when a fresh workspace uses remote
authority.
- Retain the temporary controller strategy for existing host-side seed
preparation.
- Extend the PostgreSQL preparation test through a fresh admission and
its next ordinary admission. Assert the same workspace, current writer
and stable fingerprint, with no false drift operation.
- Cover a genuinely configured `project_primary` fresh remote Git retry
followed by a real strategy change, preserving its replacement decision
and stored fingerprint.
- Document the execution rule and the separate live verification recipe.

## Verification

- The final regression was run before and after the production change.
Before: the next admission recorded a strategy replacement. After:
unchanged reuse records no drift and retains the workspace and
fingerprint.
- All 312 targeted cases pass on
`48b3e548afa42e740871feae2763d88fd5a00431` across workspace preparation,
workspace/session policy and inherited session preparation. These
include actual strategy/base-ref changes and the rule that explicit
reuse must not hide real replacement-class drift.
- All eight remote preparation cases also pass with the compatibility
regression: a genuinely configured `project_primary` fresh Git retry
creates a `git_worktree` row, and its later real strategy change retains
the replacement decision and saved fingerprint.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check` pass.
- Full recursive typecheck and `pnpm build` pass locally on this head.
- The [full current-head CI
matrix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41524105868)
passes: typecheck/build, all general server, chat, workspace and
serialized test groups, plus Runner and E2E checks. The workflow and
`run-vitest-stable.mjs` partition the complete suite.
- The duplicate local `pnpm test:run` passed all 1,828 chat cases and
was intentionally stopped during general-server after the same complete
CI matrix passed. This is not recorded as a full local-suite pass.
- Greptile and Paperclip Review both assessed this head at 5/5 with no
new findings. Paperclip Review accepted the compatibility boundary after
the counterexample; its check conclusion is neutral. The addressed
review thread is resolved.
- The regression uses real PostgreSQL and preparation policy. Runtime
acquisition is controlled at its external boundary. The new fix has not
been deployed; live provider resumption remains unverified for this
patch.

## Risks

- Existing incorrect fingerprints are not rewritten. The same stored
shape can come from a genuinely configured `project_primary` remote Git
retry; a Git workspace row alone cannot prove the old admission policy.
Rewriting it would hide a real policy change. After preserving and
inspecting retained work, an explicitly admitted fresh recovery after
rollout establishes a correct new fingerprint. Ordinary reuse of the old
workspace does not migrate it. Normal recovery gates remain required.
- Real policy changes still use the current replacement guard. No
schema, credential or authority change is included.

PostgreSQL tests and browser inspection. The host does not expose the
exact model variant or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip b4a66027b7 fix(server): deliver chat completions after nested workspace saves (#18665)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent Chat returns completed worker tasks to the original
conversation.
> - Delivery must retain its wake receipt when execution gates refuse
admission.
> - A workspace save can contain a nested snapshot operation.
> - The old checks lost the receipt and treated that saved snapshot as
unfinished work.
> - This pull request preserves the receipt and recognizes a successful
owning save.
> - The benefit is that completed work can reach the chat through the
normal queue.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18652. Related: #17206 covers failed finalize recovery. This
repair handles a successful finalize with an enclosed snapshot and does
not change failed-save recovery policy.

**What happened?**

A delegated worker finished and saved its result. The original chat
received no update. The dependency gate compared operation start times.
A nested snapshot started after its enclosing finalize and therefore
left a permanent hold. The completion wake also lost its exact
idempotency receipt when the queue merged a refused wake into a generic
dependency wait. The outbox reported `Completion wake returned no run or
durable receipt`.

**Expected behavior**

A successful finalize covers a completed operation enclosed by that save
when company, workspace, issue, and run match. Completion wakes that
disable coalescing keep their own durable receipt even when admission
waits. Dependency, budget, Stop, and pause gates still apply.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Hand a task from a chat to a worker and make the chat wait on that
task.
2. Finish a workspace finalize that starts before its nested snapshot
and ends after the successful snapshot.
3. Mark the worker Done and deliver its completion outbox entry.
4. On the parent revision, the dependency stays blocked and the
completion receipt is absent.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against `53f480d1b3` with real disposable Postgres rows and
the normal queue/outbox services.

## What Changed

- Honor `allowRunCoalescing: false` when recording execution waits.
- Accept an enclosed successful operation only when the successful
finalize has the same company, workspace, issue, and run and covers its
whole recorded interval.
- Preserve the existing rule that a strictly later successful workspace
finalize clears earlier work.
- Add failure controls for foreign runs, unfinished snapshots, failed
saves, snapshots that finish too late, and later operations.
- Exercise the real outbox and queue together. Hold provider dispatch at
the existing drain boundary and verify server-recorded Done facts reach
the admitted turn.
- Document receipt identity and workspace-save coverage.

## Verification

- Before repair: the two causal regressions fail and five safety
controls pass. The missing exact receipt and empty wakeable-dependent
list match the observed failure.
- After repair: those seven cases pass without assertion changes.
- The full affected set passed 288 tests and failed one existing
scheduling test. Its unchanged Node24 baseline also failed. A
closed-phase probe showed the fake adapter finished successfully at
3.453 seconds, after the incidental 3-second poll. The test now joins
the existing execution promise and retains its status and dependency
assertions under the unchanged Vitest timeout. The synchronized full
dependency suite passes all 13 cases.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass on pinned Node24/pnpm9.
`pnpm test:run` is running. The combined real outbox/queue case passes.
Fresh Greptile is 5/5 on `d7cee24b7032c7fdf171bfd1246cd90d41db1cba`.
Exact-head normal CI and required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e` pass.
- The original scheduling failures on Node26 and Node24, the
unchanged-source baseline failure, and the closed-phase probe are
retained in the validation record. No model, deadline, production
assertion, or paid attempt was retried to change the failure grade.
- Current-head CI attempt1 passed all product and workspace coverage but
failed the unchanged serialized retry-worker case at
`issue-scheduled-retry-routes.test.ts:606` (first batch not observed
before the poll deadline;410 other shard tests passed). The exact
unchanged case passes locally on Node24 with real Postgres. The one
failed-jobs-only retry passed on the same head; the original grade is
retained.
- The full local command completed all1828 chat integration tests. Its
general stage remains running and has retained failures in unchanged
`workspace-runtime.test.ts` (30-second local port-conflict fixture) and
`muse-control.test.ts` (current binding authentication fixture). These
are not counted as passing local full-suite evidence. Their current-head
hosted coverage passed.
- The separate advisory Paperclip Review app is paused and has no code
finding. Its in-progress state is preserved and is not counted as a
pass; it is not a required repository status check.
- The live Cloud completion journey remains failed and unqualified. It
must pass at the deployed fixed revision before daily-plan admission. No
QA oracle, model, budget, or run limit changes are included.

## Risks

- The workspace coverage query must not clear a save from another owner
or new work after finalization. The guard checks the full interval and
exact owner identity, with negative controls.
- Refused noncoalescible automatic wakes retain separate receipts.
Replaceable automatic signals still merge. No new polling or provider
retry path is added.
- No migration or API change. Deployment and live acceptance are
separate remaining gates.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip a92f616cd0 fix(db): attribute bounded captures to execution owners (#18634)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work through shared server and database
services.
> - High query volume can spend main-thread time on SQL construction and
result decoding.
> - The existing bounded response capture counts rows and bytes, but it
cannot name the operation that executed a query.
> - Bundled callers can be missing, and measuring every parsed JSON
value adds work to the diagnostic.
> - This pull request carries a semantic execution owner into each
measured query and bounds response sizing.
> - Operators can rank query volume by owner before choosing a
performance fix.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17504, #17522, #17537, #17564.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The opt-in `PAPERCLIP_DB_RESPONSE_CAPTURE_WINDOW` diagnostic.

**Subsystem affected**

Database diagnostics and existing server execution boundaries.

**Current behavior**

The capture groups by table, operation, and builder caller. It cannot
distinguish execution owners that reuse a prepared query. Bundled
deployments need source maps for caller locations. The capture visits
every returned value and serializes parsed JSON again to estimate its
size.

**Proposed behavior**

Version 2 captures use fixed semantic owners for HTTP requests, delivery
queues, execution phases, and budget work. They count completed calls,
returned rows, errors, and completion wall time. They sample successful
results 1, 17, 33, and so on, with fixed cell and string/byte limits.
Complex values remain explicitly unmeasured. Semantic ownership works
without source maps.

**Reason and benefit**

A short census can identify which operations issue the most queries or
return the most rows. It preserves each query's execution owner through
pooled connections, concurrent operations, and prepared-query reuse. It
reduces diagnostic work without claiming per-query CPU attribution.

**Breaking changes**

Opt-in capture output moves from `entry.v1`/`summary.v1` to
`entry.v2`/`summary.v2`. Sampled primitive byte lower bounds replace
all-result byte estimates. Consumers must use the new fields and must
not extrapolate them into a total. There is no database migration or
application API change.

## What Changed

- Added `withDatabaseOperation(owner, action)` to the DB package. The
server owns semantic labels. Queries retain execution ownership in their
completion closure.
- Added fixed owners at existing HTTP, delivery, budget, and execution
timing boundaries. Delivery work replaces the context of the producer
that woke it.
- Added complete call/row/error counters and completion wall durations
within the existing bounded window. Durations include waits and are not
CPU measurements.
- Sampled and bounded primitive-value sizing. Complex and oversized
values remain unmeasured. Known owners skip repeated stack extraction.
- Preserved the deadline, group limit, paced output, query outcomes, and
existing coverage exclusions. Updated the operator documentation.
- Added real PostgreSQL owner-isolation and prepared-query tests, server
scope tests, and plain bundled-runtime proof.
- Moved projection-test and benchmark full-response sizing into an
explicit test helper. Existing payload-size thresholds remain unchanged;
these synthetic checks do not use the production sampler.

## Verification

- Final-commit DB capture suites: 43 tests passed in 13.86 seconds
against the actual PostgreSQL driver, including concurrent owners,
prepared reuse, transaction failure, a dedicated client, sampling, and a
query crossing the deadline. DB typecheck passed.
- Server attribution and existing delivery/execution/budget suites: 53
tests passed. Final concurrent HTTP GET/JSON POST scope refinement: 5
tests passed.
- Runtime bundle suite: 8 existing tests passed. The new no-source-map
owner test passed after its fixture was corrected to use a driver
thenable. An ordinary native Promise can bypass an overridden `.then`;
the real PostgreSQL tests separately cover driver integration.
- Observer-only experiment: three alternating pairs per case on Node
24.22.2, macOS arm64, 3,000 calls per run after warm-up. For an
already-materialized synthetic JSON result, median capture CPU fell from
82.37 to 1.87 microseconds/call. For a 100-row primitive result, it fell
from 8.10 to 4.40 microseconds/call. Every result retained identity and
all calls were counted. The new diagnostic intentionally measures less
byte data; these are observer costs, not database latency or a hosted
application speedup. Disabled-case timings were below one
microsecond/call and too small for a performance conclusion.
- Final lifecycle regression: 28 unit tests and DB typecheck passed.
Closing the last capture disables and replaces owner storage;
overlapping captures retain it.
- Final-commit full recursive typecheck passed in 38.38 seconds and full
build passed in 40.81 seconds. The build stamp matches
`83ed4ba9cebd68d48929c46f15ab32d5c0b9687b`. Focused server attribution
tests also passed 5/5 before the test-helper-only migration. Full test
acceptance will use the repository's parallel CI gates; the unsharded
local command takes hours.
- Verification failures retained: initial sandbox runs could not open
local IPC/PostgreSQL listeners; permitted reruns exercised the real
services. One old test expected JSON serialization and was updated to
assert explicit unmeasured complex values. The first bundle fixture used
the wrong promise boundary, as described above. A retained-callback
regression also demonstrated that disabling and reusing the same
AsyncLocalStorage instance could resurrect an old owner; replacing the
instance after the last capture closes fixes that case.
- The first CI run found older projection tests consuming the previous
full-response fields. Those consumers now use the full-response test
helper, preserving their byte thresholds. The two complete affected
route suites plus helper tests passed 115/115 in 73.08 seconds. A
temporary full-row query negative control then failed the unchanged
2,048-byte limit at 5,000,812 bytes and was restored; five other service
suites passed 34/34 and the affected chat cases passed 3/3. All three
previously failing CI shards passed on the corrected head. A local
skill-list benchmark smoke check completed 255 captured queries with no
in-flight queries or overflow; this was integration verification under
concurrent test load, not a timing benchmark.
- Two final-head runner jobs lost communication with GitHub before
reporting a test result. One targeted retry of those jobs and their
dependent aggregate passed. All 53 final-head checks passed, with 3
intentional skips; previously passing suites were preserved.
- Hosted capture remains pending until the reviewed revision is deployed
and a bounded window is explicitly configured.

Reproduce the focused checks with Node 24 and the repository pnpm
version:

```sh
pnpm exec vitest run packages/db/src/response-capture.test.ts packages/db/src/response-capture-postgres.test.ts
pnpm --dir server exec vitest run --config vitest.config.ts src/__tests__/database-operation-attribution.test.ts scripts/bundle-runtime.test.mjs
pnpm -r typecheck
pnpm build
```

## Risks

- Owner context is active while a valid future capture window is armed,
up to 30 minutes before accounting starts. No-window and expired calls
take the direct path. Diagnostics still add bounded work while enabled.
- A nearest nested owner is reported. Broad `http.request` and
unattributed groups remain visible; this does not identify every service
callsite or SQL shape.
- The existing census excludes tagged/raw explicit-execute/streaming
paths and internal protocol commands. Its counts are not PostgreSQL
transaction totals.
- Completion wall time includes queue/database/network/scheduling waits.
Concurrent durations overlap. Sampled bytes exclude complex values,
large strings, and values beyond the sizing limits.
- Activation is startup-only. Operators must choose the window after
artifact preparation, allow rollout/warm-up time, and remove the expired
setting afterward.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with code execution, repository inspection,
and parallel agents. The exact deployment model ID and context-window
size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 0710c56842 fix: retry saved chat input after a successful run (#18621)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and the work they receive.
> - Connected conversations save incoming requests before they can run.
> - A request can remain queued when the previous turn finishes
successfully.
> - Task Retry sent that case through the failed-run retry guard, which
rejected the successful run.
> - This change resumes the saved request through its existing admission
owner.
> - The operator can continue saved work while preserving the prior
result and current permissions.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Task Retry returned a conflict for a restricted connected conversation
when its latest run succeeded and newer input remained saved. A GitHub
review can reach this state when a new PR head arrives during the
previous review. The prior review cannot publish against the new head,
but its completed turn is not a failed run that can be replayed.

**Expected behavior**

Retry should resume the saved request with its original source identity
and current authorization. It must preserve the previous successful
result and must not replay that turn.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a review through a restricted GitHub endpoint.
2. Send a PR synchronize event while that review runs and retain its
deferred input receipt.
3. Let the original run finish successfully with the task still open.
4. Click Retry. Before this change, the failed-run guard rejects the
request. With this change, the saved input creates one successor through
normal admission.

Related work: #17725, #16965, #15033.

## What Changed

- Select the newest saved input by its canonical chat action and wake
receipt.
- Store its receipt ID in the task retry intent and resume it through
the existing chat owner.
- Preserve caller permissions, source authorization, task state, agent
state, cleanup waits, and duplicate-click handling.
- Exclude saved-input intents from generic board-message replay. Keep
board messages in separate queued receipts and allow independently saved
input after successful board turns.
- Add signed webhook, HTTP endpoint, accepted-result preservation, and
refusal tests. Update execution semantics and capability maps. Stabilize
the existing Teams lifecycle test with explicit database result
ordering.

## Verification

- Current-head [CI
passes](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41482727909):
54 successful checks, one neutral review, three expected skips, and a
successful Snyk status. Greptile gives commit `53f02e9105` 5/5 with no
unresolved review threads.
- Reproduced the original HTTP 409 before the fix. Reproduced both
review findings with three failing cases before fixing them.
- Passed 25 focused and related GitHub retry cases, 52 ordinary queue
tests, and three native startup cases against disposable PostgreSQL.
Earlier related verification also passed 83 GitHub retry cases and 109
recovery/receipt cases.
- Passed `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, `node
scripts/check-maps.mjs`, and the module boundary check. The final server
typecheck passed after the review fixes.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` attempt stopped on an existing Slack
queue deadline assertion with a 1 ms database/host clock difference.
That case passed in isolation. A second attempt was stopped when review
changes superseded its source. Full local completion is not claimed; all
chat, server, browser, build, and runner CI jobs passed on the final
commit.
- The runner CI job needed one rerun after a two-second startup timing
assertion failed. That case and its two related cases passed locally;
the rerun passed without code changes.
- Live GitHub review publication with this patch is not verified. The
signed provider fixture uses mocked GitHub responses. This branch is not
deployed.

## Risks

- This changes how Retry dispatches deferred external input after a
successful run. It relies on the existing inbound owner to recheck
source authority before execution.
- Tests cover paused connections and agents, changed source bindings,
completed tasks, pending cleanup, duplicate clicks, and preservation of
the accepted result.
- No schema migration or public API shape change is required.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip c0550e7010 fix(server): preserve sessions and defer busy overlap recovery (#18552)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A web server replacement must preserve remote execution and later
task continuation.
> - The active-run handoff now survives deletion of the departing server
home.
> - The next admission still compared disposable instruction and skill
paths as configuration.
> - A native receipt could also settle without the old adapter returning
its terminal metadata.
> - A replacement can also collide with a run row locked by the serving
controller.
> - This change preserves durable session identity and terminal
evidence, and defers locked recovery work so overlap can reach
readiness.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18543, #18366, #9977, #18118.

**What happened?**

A real Codex/Daytona journey replaced both control-plane servers and
deleted their homes. Reads, saves, saved files and active execution
passed. A later useful answer used a new provider session. All four run
records lacked the native terminal contract. The whole qualification
therefore failed. A later attempt also exposed startup failure: the
replacement waited for a row lock held by the serving controller and
aborted on its one-second lock timeout.

**Expected behavior**

An unchanged managed instruction entry and immutable skill version
retain the session across server cache relocation. Actual content and
configuration changes still reset it. A committed native receipt retains
its terminal contract even when the originating adapter never returns. A
busy recovery row defers through the existing scheduler while the
replacement reaches readiness.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the `rolling-web-deployment.runner-codex.daytona.recover-controller`
Product E2E cell with separate controller homes and shared
PostgreSQL/S3. The focused regressions reproduce the failures without a
model call.

## What Changed

- Read the managed instruction entry digest from the company-scoped
durable file head. Do not restore or read the cache for this check.
- Omit disposable instruction paths only when that durable authority
exists. Fingerprint selected immutable skill versions in both runtime
skill inputs.
- Preserve the existing local and external instruction path checks, and
unversioned skill identity.
- Publish the accepted native terminal contract in the same transaction
as the canonical result receipt.
- Skip locked recovery rows and schedule the same run for retry. Avoid
an audit write that would block on the same row. No ownership is
transferred while busy.
- Keep replacement readiness independent of an in-progress skill
selection; migration and cache eviction still require exact pins.
Missing durable skill versions still refuse startup.
- Project only the instruction digest in SQL instead of loading the
entire agent-file manifest per admission.
- Add real PostgreSQL lock contention tests for the issue, run and
coordinator, including the heartbeat startup caller and later claim.
- Limit native test teardown to its owned database on a shared test
host. The old behavior also fails on clean master.
- Add cache-loss, scope, changed-content, changed-version and
finalization regressions. Update the deployment qualification record.

## Verification

- Both focused regressions failed before the source changes.
- All 249 tests pass across `heartbeat-workspace-session`,
`agent-file-durability`, and `paperclip-control-plane-port`.
- Server typecheck and exact-revision build pass.
- Assembled admission ran 59 passing cases but failed during
native-suite teardown. The teardown failure reproduced on clean master.
All 16 native resumption cases and teardown pass after the
database-scope fix.
- All three row-lock regressions fail with the pre-fix lock timeout and
pass with deferred recovery. The full recovery suite passes 74 cases,
including the startup caller; eight Docker-specific cases were not
enabled.
- The real attempt at `d2165dec5d` failed when B aborted on the run
lock. Its credential and bucket were removed; all three provider
sandboxes were independently confirmed absent. The next real attempt at
`aae8a53d01` failed a different readiness gate while a run was preparing
skill pins. That race now has a failing-before regression; all 33
readiness, durable-file and managed-skill tests pass after the fix. Its
owned resources are cleaned. The `a15a12651c` live attempt passed both
web replacements: 765 reads, 78 saves and 78 verified saves with zero
HTTP probe failures. The first three turns preserved the provider
session and native terminal contract. The fourth continuation failed
because a safely suspended remote Runner was treated as live/idle; that
distinct recovery gap is being handled in a follow-up. All three owned
sandboxes were independently confirmed absent. No claim of full Railway
qualification yet.

## Risks

- The new fingerprint shape may reset a session once when upgrading from
older fingerprint metadata. It is stable across subsequent cache
replacements.
- A versioned skill is identified by its immutable selected version;
materialization and admission still enforce availability. Unversioned
skills retain their existing path boundary.
- A native terminal describes the accepted execution result. Workspace
and issue settlement remain separate authorities.
- This does not yet prove the ten-deploy staging campaign, natural
database autosuspension or the production canary.

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18518, #18529, #18533.

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

DottaandPaperclip 006d5691a6 feat(server): support volume-free web server handoff (#18518)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its web server also owns controller admission and user commands.
> - A rolling deployment starts a replacement before the old server
exits.
> - Shared database state alone does not preserve local agent files,
browser chunks, or in-process commands.
> - This pull request adds an opt-in ephemeral server contract and a
local overlap test.
> - The benefit is a web server that can relinquish traffic and local
files without losing acknowledged work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18403, #18327, #18335, #18341.

**Current behavior**

The control-plane web server still has local agent-file authority and
local command targets. A new container can miss saved bytes or send a
command to the wrong process. An existing browser tab also needs chunks
from its original build.

**Proposed behavior**

Eligible servers share only PostgreSQL, object storage and stable
secrets. A replacement waits for readiness. The old server drains
admitted requests, keeps owner commands available through handoff, and
releases controller leases. Explicit maintenance adopts existing files
before the volume is removed.

**Reason and benefit**

This is the application prerequisite for rolling app-only deployments.
Schema migrations and permanent multi-replica operation are outside this
change.

## What Changed

- Store agent-file manifests in PostgreSQL and immutable bytes in S3.
Treat local roots as disposable projections. Preserve existing
permission checks and edit conflicts.
- Add an explicit migration, eligibility and object-retention command to
the production runtime bundle.
- Add `/api/ready`, admitted-request drain, browser restart signaling
and retained immutable UI chunks.
- Carry transaction-aware work hints across controllers during handoff
and active execution. Keep listeners closed when idle.
- Deliver durable Stop and runtime responses to the execution owner.
Recheck request lifecycle and access before response dispatch.
- Reject local-only configuration in ephemeral mode. Keep the feature
disabled for existing installations by default.
- Add an isolated PostgreSQL/S3/proxy/browser deployment harness with
independent server homes and retained failure evidence.

## Verification

- All CI checks pass on `ce17b95019d3cf1cabd357d19b6d37f96782cc5c`:
workspace typecheck, build, Runner checks, server/general tests and
browser shards. Greptile reviewed the runtime changes at 5/5 with all
findings resolved; the final commit updates maps and the plan.
- Local targeted checks passed: coordinator 27; Stop/recovery 33;
PostgreSQL command delivery 6; route/workspace regressions 8; bootstrap
Stop 1; restart recovery 75. PostgreSQL command tests simulate the
provider edge.
- Local browser proof passed 91 reads and 19 saves; reconnect took
1,013ms. The tab opened Audit from S3 after deletion of A's whole
home/build. This uses compiled workspace code and local-trusted auth,
not released containers or live agents.
- Local workspace typecheck/build passed; current server and runtime
bundle passed. The earlier broad local suite was stopped after three
hours and is not a passing receipt. Its retained failures and isolated
reruns are documented in the plan.
- Stacked #18526 adds stricter graceful-exit proof, an unready
replacement control, live Runner qualification and a Stop handoff
correction. Hosted enablement remains gated on those results and Cloud
#1096. No hosted stack has been enabled.

## Risks

- Apply migration 0422 before enabling the feature. Existing data must
pass each owner's migration and eligibility checks. Do not discard a
volume based on a single migration page.
- Durable manifests remain authoritative after the opt-in is disabled.
Rolling back to a binary that ignores them is unsupported.
- Cold directory restoration and complete shutdown timing still need
qualification before enabling a hosted stack.
- Retained UI assets must cover the supported browser and rollback
window. Cleanup is explicit; no new idle maintenance polling is
introduced.
- This change does not claim production zero downtime or authorize a
fleet-wide enablement.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact serving model ID and
context-window limit are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning,
code editing, shell execution and browser automation.

DottaandPaperclip 1e8e32290c Give metadata project tasks private remote workspaces (#18514)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A task can belong to a project without using that project's files.
> - The specification gives a task without a selected or configured
source its own private folder.
> - The remote source planner instead rejects such a task when its
project has no configured workspace.
> - This stops an ordinary delegated task before native execution
starts.
> - This pull request selects an empty, task-owned remote source for
that narrow default case.
> - Explicit source choices, existing workspace authority, and
repository requirements retain their current checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18504 and #18351. The earlier reference-project fix covered
additional project mentions. This fix covers the task's own
organizational project.

**What happened?**

A task in a project with no configured workspace fails with
`remote_workspace_source_unavailable`. Its project has no workspace
policy, its four workspace selection and binding fields are null, and it
requests no repository, branch, or local folder. The failure occurs
before native runtime selection. A derived project folder exists in the
project facade even when no source is configured; that derived path does
not grant file access.

**Expected behavior**

Use the task's private remote workspace. Keep the project on the task
for organization. Do not adopt the project folder, agent home, or
another repository. Preserve explicit workspace and source requirements.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a project without configured workspaces or a workspace policy.
2. Assign a normal task in that project to a native sandbox agent. Leave
all workspace selections and bindings unset.
3. Start the task with remote workspace storage enabled.
4. On the prior source, observe the source-unavailable error before
allocation. On this source, observe a company-owned remote workspace
whose `sourceIssueId` is the task and whose filesystem project and
source IDs are null.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against the deployed source planner at
`756599e4ea069c9338c320fe8846523d3dfb92a0`. This branch starts at
`987e0932bf66e703750cd04698b3c7e8993580a7`; the relevant planner and
preparation inputs at that parent match the deployed source.

**Deployment mode**

Native sandbox execution with remote workspace storage. The regression
tests use real PostgreSQL with the current migrations.

## What Changed

- Allow an implicit empty source only after a company-scoped query
confirms the project has no workspace rows and no explicit workspace
policy.
- Keep existing bindings, pending selections, explicit source choices,
Git requirements, and local folder choices outside this default.
- Add real PostgreSQL source controls and an assembled heartbeat
preparation control through workspace reservation and the environment
acquisition boundary.
- Clarify the existing task-owned folder contract in the implementation
specification.

## Verification

- Causal RED: the new source control and the assembled allocation
control both fail against the unchanged deployed planner with the
observed source-unavailable error.
- GREEN: 19 focused PostgreSQL controls pass across the source planner
and assembled heartbeat preparation suites. The allocation control
checks the persisted company/task owner, null filesystem project IDs,
private remote root, original organizational project, and unchanged
project and host sentinel files.
- Negative controls retain configured repository sources and reject a
configured source without a URL, an explicit missing source, an unknown
selection, a required project policy, a required branch, an explicit
local folder, a foreign project, and unsupported read-only project
sources.
- Current-source transitive TypeScript checks and `node
scripts/check-maps.mjs` pass. The map check is structural evidence only.
- Fresh exact-head Greptile is 5/5 with zero unresolved threads at
`680461e180232d0f4a057528617e39b64b4f0e3a`.
[Review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18514#issuecomment-6552946468).
The official [Paperclip
assessment](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18514#issuecomment-6552931726)
is 4/5 and remains recorded unchanged. A separate non-author source
review found no actionable issue after the full producer/consumer trace,
with manual confidence 4/5. Neither static review ran the tests or
proved deployed native execution.
- Full repository tests, build, and type checks passed in [canonical
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41269733360).
All 59 checks are terminal: 55 success, three skipped, and the official
Paperclip check neutral; no failed or pending checks. The successful
build checked out merge preview
`03dce9f9bc708e778dd214ca85dfa1ba58e0a806`, with parents current main
`9dbbfa4fb298448db83ace946b338bff321d8b2a` and this exact head. Its four
helper blobs match this head; the four added mainline document-harness
paths remain unchanged. Local tests use source aliases with the current
DB, shared, and Runner source, rather than borrowed generated
declarations.
- Actual QA staging qualification is pending deployment. The previous
failed journey and cleanup evidence remain failed; these local checks do
not relabel them.

### Review follow-up

- Fresh workspace retry: the normal producer sets `taskDirectory:true`
for this empty-source case.
[Heartbeat](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/680461e180232d0f4a057528617e39b64b4f0e3a/server/src/services/heartbeat.ts#L2288-L2296)
separates the saved filesystem project from the organizational project.
[Environment
selection](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/680461e180232d0f4a057528617e39b64b4f0e3a/server/src/services/heartbeat/environment-selection.ts#L506)
selects the fresh task directory. Preparation passes that flag, and the
planner's existing task-directory return runs before the new binding
guard. The proposed fresh failure omits that producer flag. The existing
fresh-intent and binding checks stay strict. This is source evidence,
not an extra runtime test claim.
- Empty policy object: the [public project policy
schema](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/680461e180232d0f4a057528617e39b64b4f0e3a/packages/shared/src/validators/project.ts#L24-L43)
requires `enabled:boolean`. The project PATCH schema makes outer fields
optional and does not make nested policy fields optional. A clear uses
`null`; `{}` is rejected. A defensive parser's treatment of unknown
stored data does not establish a valid `{}` producer. Keep the narrow
fallback closed for non-null policies.
- Boolean grouping: JavaScript evaluates the existing predicate as
`sourceId || (projectId && !implicitTaskDirectory)`. The explicit-source
and metadata-default controls cover those branches. The optional
parentheses suggestion does not identify a behavior change; this
reviewed source remains frozen.
- The official 4/5 assessment and its static verification limits remain
visible. The independent manual review withdrew its initial fresh-retry
concern after the full producer trace. Actual staging qualification
still requires deployment and a new real journey result.

## Risks

- The new query runs only for a source-less default admission. It reads
one authorized project and uses `NOT EXISTS` for that project's source
rows. It adds no recurring poll, write, provider call, or local folder
access.
- A project with an explicit workspace policy remains subject to the
prior source requirement. This conservative rule does not reinterpret
policy fields.
- The allocation control uses the real planner and PostgreSQL
reservation. It stops at environment acquisition, so it proves workspace
ownership rather than provider filesystem execution. Live staging
qualification is still required.
- No API, database schema, permission, model, budget, run limit, or QA
journey oracle changes are included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. This session does not expose a more precise backend model ID
or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 756599e4ea fix(workspaces): keep project references without source folders (#18504)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents can receive project references in normal task and chat
messages.
> - Remote workspace preparation checks those references before a native
run starts.
> - A project with no workspace source has no folder to attach.
> - The current check rejects that project as an unsupported read-only
folder.
> - This pull request keeps the project reference and reports the
missing source without attaching files.
> - Projects with configured sources keep the current remote access
restrictions.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18403 and #18351. This is a product prerequisite for the hiring
journey. It changes no journey code.

**What happened?**

A native chat run failed before execution when its message referenced an
authorized project with zero configured workspaces. The error was
`workspace_validation_failed`: “This remote runtime cannot safely
provide read-only project folders.” The project had no repository or
checkout. The failed QA run and original grade remain preserved.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the task workspace when a referenced project has no configured
source. Report that no project folder was attached. Continue to reject
configured cross-project sources that require an unsupported read-only
mount.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use a native remote task folder with multi-project references
enabled.
2. Mention a same-company project that has no configured workspaces in a
normal comment.
3. Prepare the run workspace.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `b889ac39b7fbed558c5f4cfbbc2b73c4ca916810` with the real
workspace resolver and PostgreSQL migrations. The staging failure was
recorded in workflow
[41253428446](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/actions/runs/41253428446).

## What Changed

- Distinguish authorized project references with a known empty workspace
list from configured sources.
- Return a resolution warning and failure receipt for an absent source.
Do not attach a folder or create a workspace.
- Preserve project authorization, company filtering, the disabled
remote-source gate, and the read-only restriction for configured
sources.
- Add real PostgreSQL regression cases and document the reference
contract.

## Verification

- Causal RED on unchanged `b889`: the metadata-only project case failed
with the same read-only error. The real repository negative already
passed.
- GREEN: eight PostgreSQL cases pass. They cover an absent source with
the remote-source switch both on and off, a saved existing workspace, a
repository, a configured source without a repository URL, the disabled
remote gate, mixed references, and a foreign company.
- The existing assembled workspace test also passes: a real read-only
project source is rejected before reservation or environment
acquisition. Total: 9 selected tests pass; 119 unrelated tests were not
selected.
- Tests use PostgreSQL 17 and the current source migrations. The local
Vitest configuration selects current DB, shared, and Runner sources
because the borrowed dependency output predates the remote workspace
feature.
- Current-source TypeScript checking of both changed TypeScript files
and their dependency graph passes. It uses the repository's real Express
actor declaration.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check` pass.
- Canonical reproduction: `pnpm exec vitest run --project server
server/src/services/heartbeat/remote-workspace-source.test.ts` with the
existing embedded PostgreSQL support or
`PAPERCLIP_TEST_POSTGRES_ADMIN_URL` set to a disposable test cluster.
- Historical `0f2b` passed all 59 CI checks. A separate non-author
manual source audit reported no actionable findings at confidence 4/5;
it did not rerun tests or qualify live QA. The official 4/5 review
requested a flag-scope test and saved-workspace control. This
test-and-documentation update adds both, with production source bytes
unchanged.
- Current-head canonical [CI
41258109282](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41258109282)
passed: all 59 checks are terminal (55 success, 3 skipped, 1 neutral),
with no failures or pending checks. Build and typecheck passed. The
eight-case regression file passed in the canonical Linux server 1/12
lane. Its checkout `6f69ccca70d10e78885b133fb54a80940bf175a5` has
parents `b889` and this exact head; its tree equals this head.
- Fresh Greptile and official Ponytail assessments each give 5/5 for
exact `27660027d12ff31427d611019e90dabfb6d8503a`, with zero unresolved
review threads. The separate manual audit remains 4/5.
- Live QA remains pending on a reviewed app build. This regression proof
does not claim that the hiring journey passed.

## Risks

A project source could be added after project hydration. This change
uses the same run-preparation source snapshot as the existing
authorization and source check. It only permits a positively known empty
workspace list. Configured sources, unknown shapes, foreign projects,
and existing execution authority keep their current checks. No schema,
credentials, provider, model, budget, or filesystem permissions change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The session does not expose a more specific
backend model ID or fixed context window. Used reasoning, repository
tools, TypeScript and test execution.

DottaandPaperclip 66e8fab944 fix: complete native chat responses and improve API discovery (#18364)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip must perform work and report its outcome accurately.
> - A chat response and its delegated or operator-owned work are
separate stages.
> - Native chat contracts instead required literal completion of the
user's whole request.
> - Agents kept searching or waiting even when a truthful handoff should
finish the response.
> - OpenCode also has separate acknowledgement backlog and
empty-response failure paths.
> - This PR aligns chat completion with its current stage and makes
OpenCode completion truthful.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18098 for retained OpenCode evidence and #18377 for separate eval
setup, oracle and reporting repairs.

**What happened?** Real pinned OpenCode 1.18.34 reproduced an MCP
timeout behind 800 text fragments. Pilot
[41222196525](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41222196525)
separately exposed a fabricated successful reply after a reasoning-only
response. Later restart attempts timed out without an answer. Their
native criterion literally required restarting the instance, although
the chat instructions and authority required an operator handoff.
General authority guidance alone did not resolve it.

**Expected behavior:** A standing chat completes its current authorized
response. It performs and verifies permitted actions, verifies delegated
handoffs, or explains the specific unavailable action and operator path.
The worker's task remains separate. Ordinary execution tasks must still
complete their requested work. Empty provider responses must not become
invented success.

**Version and reproduction:** Actual pinned OpenCode and native Rust
Runner, with retained full-stack AWS attempts. Product baseline master
`51ea624344`. This PR adds no historical catalog to master.

## What Changed

- Build standing-chat completion contracts from the server-owned
conversation identity. Scope each current request to the response stage;
preserve request text, criterion IDs, order, human-response scope and
source revisions. Require verified authorized actions and truthful
handoffs. Ordinary task contracts stay strict. Existing admitted inputs
retain their saved contract during recovery; new contract content uses
the existing revision/hash mechanism.
- Guide prospective defaults to their owning resource and preserve
existing work unless backfill is requested. Guide unavailable
board/operator operations to the supported handoff. These are general
chat instructions with no eval identities or expected answers.
- Batch adjacent assistant text for at most 50 ms and 4,000 UTF-8 bytes.
Preserve text, metadata and order; flush before non-text frames and
shutdown.
- Give an empty OpenCode response one correction within its existing
turn, model, reasoning, context and deadline. Accept actual completed
answer parts with incomplete headers. Preserve actual active tool work,
bound idle evidence grace and fail truthfully if correction stays empty.
- Reject empty OpenCode terminals in Rust without actual prose or an
accepted semantic result. Never invent successful replies or evidence.
Refresh generated project-discovery contracts.
- Preserve accurate public API-discovery descriptions for existing
project defaults and managed instance restart operations, including
their field scope and authority limits.

## Verification

**Qualified: [pilot
41256592937](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41256592937)
passes 3/3, with all 35 independent checks passing.**

| Case | Checks | Full case duration | Evidence and cleanup |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Instance restart | 9/9 | 140.1 s | complete |
| Project defaults | 11/11 | 204.2 s | complete |
| Project work | 15/15 | 204.0 s | complete |

All three are original-attempt results from source
`c51e079f7f2364305b131ffd549e263ff78c5335`, containing the exact product
files from `13c2b61f31d873a475ea0c3c026b19926ff42301`. Actual saved
conversation contracts were inspected, as were ordinary native worker
contracts where present. Each protected archive includes the actual API
state and final PNG; cleanup completes. Original queries,
`openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017`, finite case clocks,
concurrency one and zero eval retries are preserved. Earlier passes do
not transfer into this qualification.

Both current heads pass all checks: product **62** (56 success, one
neutral, five skipped), catalog **56** (54 success, one neutral, one
skipped). Both have exact-head Greptile **5/5**, zero unresolved review
threads and clean mergeability. The three trusted private-evidence
protocol files remain byte-identical to the dispatch workflow. Raw
evidence stays protected.

- **2,044 API discovery tests pass.** Red controls showed that “restart
instance” selected unrelated drain/settings operations and “save project
defaults” selected repository replacement. Accurate public summaries now
rank the existing operations correctly; route registration preserves
descriptions. No endpoint, permission or field behavior changes.
- **112 real-database, authenticated HTTP, native Runner and OpenAPI
consumer tests pass locally**, using disposable task-owned Docker
PostgreSQL. It was removed afterward; shared IPC was untouched. These
cover persisted contract selection, admitted native input and the model
envelope together. The isolated CI suites also pass.
- **77 focused contract/input/context tests pass.** Red controls catch
the wrong conversation predicate; canonical identity requires both agent
and user IDs, including the actual heartbeat projection. Ordinary tasks,
agent-only issues and planner tasks remain strict. Coalesced requests
preserve criterion identities, source hashes and human-response scope.
- **144 OpenCode driver tests pass**; native core **441 pass, one
ignored**; packaging **56 pass, six skipped**. Server typecheck and
build pass.
- Real pinned OpenCode/native Runner: a delayed 25-second
acknowledgement completes within the original 30-second MCP deadline.
The text-fragment control changes 817 notifications / 54.1 seconds /
timeout to 45 / 19.0 seconds / accepted finish. Separate fast,
six-minute and real authenticated API probes complete 32 tool calls plus
finish. These do not reproduce every remaining historical MCP timeout,
and no common cause is claimed for all such failures.

Retained failures remain attributed to their original source. Earlier
runs exposed fabricated empty-response success, prospective-default
backfill, a literal whole-task chat criterion, fixture readiness and
oracle/reporting defects. The immediately preceding
[41250502608](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41250502608),
product `c0bf249807` / source `7b1de24ce1`, is **1/3**: work 15/15;
restart 4/9 with the repaired contract actually admitted but no answer;
defaults timed out before settlement, then exceeded the unchanged 256
MiB original-evidence allowance. Defaults domain behavior on that
attempt remains inconclusive. #18377 retains the full attempt ledger,
including missing archives and pre-paid cancellations. The fresh 3/3
establishes these selected outcomes; it does not establish full-catalog
reliability.

## Risks

The shared contract change applies to standing native chats across
providers. It changes model instructions and completion scope, while
permission, approval and review gates remain enforced by their existing
owners. Incorrect model claims remain possible; the product evals
independently require actual mutations, native work and delivery. The
correction adds at most one provider request within the existing
deadline; text batching can delay adjacent text by 50 ms. Three
qualified attempts do not establish full-catalog reliability.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository inspection, tool use, code
execution and live eval tooling. Exact hosted model revision and
context-window size are not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip 492d537340 fix(native): recover controllers across webserver replacement (#18343)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native execution runs in a remote Runner while the webserver owns
its controller.
> - Encrypted PRP checkpoints and session snapshots already survive a
webserver restart in Postgres.
> - Ordinary warm and per-turn admission still needs local markers and
supervisor metadata to find that state.
> - Replacing the webserver with an empty native controller directory
can therefore lose a usable retained session.
> - This change adds bounded recovery metadata to the existing snapshot
transaction and reconstructs local projections from the selected durable
source.
> - The benefit is native execution continuity across webserver
replacement, with the existing ownership and agent lifecycle policies.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Native remote controller recovery and retained-session continuation
during a webserver upgrade.

**Subsystem affected**

server/ — native runtime, checkpoint persistence, recovery scheduling
and internal upgrade reporting. Product E2E qualification also changes.

**Current behavior**

Without both the local PRP marker and supervisor file, normal
continuation can return before discovering the saved Postgres
checkpoint. The snapshot already exists in Postgres, but its local reuse
compatibility envelope cannot be reconstructed.

**Proposed behavior**

Select the existing durable source, validate its identity and ownership,
restore its PRP state and supervisor projection, then use normal
authenticated admission. Missing or inconsistent evidence holds
recovery. It does not authorize fresh provider work.

**Reason and benefit**

A replacement webserver must recover active execution and later continue
its retained session without the old server's native files. This is one
component of deployment continuity. HTTP traffic switching, workspace
storage migration and Railway rollout remain separate.

**Breaking changes**

No new public endpoint, schema migration or database pool. The private
run-profile envelope is additive. Disk-independent rollback also
requires a reader for the staged controller format and compact
checkpoint part; the first production release containing these readers
is the floor. Older file-backed sessions need an owner checkpoint or the
bounded internal importer.

**Additional context**

Related foundations: #17401, #17916, #17254, #14621, #14622. The
implementation contract and open acceptance gates are in [the dated
plan](doc/plans/2026-10-30-native-controller-checkpoints.md).

## What Changed

- Persist a versioned recovery envelope, at most 4 KiB, beside the
redacted session snapshot in its existing transaction. Keep it out of
public run projections.
- Compare frozen admission separately from prepared attachment
instructions during staged recovery, preserving exact
template/identity/authority checks.
- Bound the existing lazy checkpoint pool at three connections after
measured two-slot burst backlog; keep request/renewal capacities and SQL
operation counts unchanged. The tuning is a separate commit.
- Discover and restore the exact selected retained source without local
native markers. Preserve the 32-candidate window, progress barriers and
current authority checks.
- Fence snapshot and result writes. Acquire coordinator, issue and run
locks in order and check expiry after lock waits. Combine snapshot
ownership/read work into one statement.
- Reuse existing recovery deadlines and drain/resume scheduling.
Retained-owner waits preserve the original unstarted run and actual
lease deadline. Stop, ownership and provider-progress fences precede
deferral. Add bounded native evidence reporting, retained-source import
and retention protection.
- Admit a settled warm source with an authenticated idle goal-read
suffix while retaining active-work and mixed-authority holds.
- Permit lifecycle `turn.stop` checkpoints after accepted results under
existing ownership fences. Claim the existing successor coordinator
before retiring the old warm session, and stage shared attachments only
after verified retirement. Preserve omitted isolated-home defaults and
existing fresh skill-selection order during recovery without hiding real
configuration changes.
- Carry the exact durable six-field PRP binding during active recovery
after a healthy warm handoff. Keep the Runner mismatch guard and
preserve opaque attachment IDs.
- Preserve an already verified active or idle warm process during remote
preparation; revalidate its proof/liveness and retain later
authenticated PRP attachment. Ordinary resumed leases retain suspension
checks.
- Drain retained source events under their original authority, reconcile
immutable source accounting and block unknown source tool dispatch
before target work.
- Persist compact staged handoff intent through authenticated adoption
and recover direct/listener command-loss windows without another Runner
or duplicate attachment.
- Rebuild suspended lifecycle receipts for resumed prepared tasks, and
retry missing lifecycle reads after partial PRP materialization without
overwriting contradictory evidence.
- Add normal warm/per-turn diskless continuation coverage, real Postgres
races and SQL-cost checks. Add a reproducible paired load workload.
- Give only the explicit outage fixture a 15-minute provider idle
window, with a red/green catalog regression preserving all production
timing and lifecycle policies.
- Publish the goal-less task-session pointer in the existing
post-acceptance terminal checkpoint transaction, with current ownership,
accepted-result, reset and newer-progress fences. Keep a private bound
receipt so late completion cannot duplicate or resurrect publication.
- Use a retained warm sandbox in the dedicated continuity fixture, and
accept an exact output token followed by an explanation. Keep the strict
identity oracle.
- Extend the explicit Daytona cell to a five-minute active outage and
another replacement after completion. Require retained provider
identity, a new tool receipt and a useful follow-up result. Add an owned
loopback Postgres E2E fixture for hosts that cannot start embedded
Postgres.

## Verification

**Merge recommendation — `fc68584ce6231a02e47ecd743f55b036ccea034f`:
ready for the qualified native-controller component.** Full CI, fresh
review, local application paths, controlled performance qualification
and the strict live Linux/Daytona case pass. Independent resource
cleanup is complete. Broader rollout, browser reconnection and the
unexecuted transport/platform combinations remain integration gates.
Integrated 484 passed full local recursive typecheck/build and ordinary
active→completion→cache-loss→C component qualification. Fresh review
then found a valid attached-wake failure: preparation appends attachment
instructions before the verifier compares execution to the frozen
admission. 9f4 fixes that by separately checking the pre-preparation
admission and exact prepared execution. Both hashes are captured
privately per admission; the full template, identity, configuration and
authority checks remain. Its regression fails before the fix; 36 focused
cases, 42 staged source/target cases and server typecheck pass
afterward. The review thread is resolved. Exact-head full CI passes
([run
41168228822](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41168228822):
48 successful jobs, one intended skip); the complete `pnpm test:run`
partitions are forced, with the five native suites in the Runner lane.
This is not a claim that an unsharded local command passed. The fresh
exact-head Greptile check succeeds with 5/5 and all six threads
resolved.

The original two-connection database comparison closes **steady PASS and
burst FAIL**. Every relative CPU/WAL/request-p99 gate passes and all
operations/ownership remain correct, but candidate arm 3 drains in
1,015.99 ms and baseline arm 4 in 1,059.67 ms against the unchanged
1,000 ms absolute gate. Those results remain failed. A separate 2→3→4→2
diagnostic reproduces drain times 1,051.57 / 956.79 / 882.02 / 1,065.72
ms: three is the smallest tested passing cap, and the repeated two-cap
failure survives run-order/cache effects.

Separately reviewable `fc68584ce6` changes the existing lazy checkpoint
pool default to three connections. Request capacity stays ten and
liveness two; idle release, shutdown fencing, transaction counts and
pool count are unchanged. Thirteen DB lifecycle/cap tests and DB
typecheck pass. Full recursive typecheck/build pass at exact fc68584,
with the matching server build stamp. The final paired native
feature-cost comparison explicitly uses the **same cap-three policy and
common current DB factory in both variants**; its baseline is
controlled, not the unmodified historical cap-two configuration.
Original gates and workload counts remain unchanged. The one strict
Linux/Daytona case started at 04:40:56 UTC only after both new profiles
passed; it passed on the first attempt with all 49 workflow checks.
Independent cleanup confirms all three owned sandboxes absent, owned
Postgres/controllers/observer gone, VM terminated, root volume absent
and ephemeral SSH key/agent removed.

**Final controlled cap-three qualification: PASS.** Baseline native
implementation `59da15066a` and candidate `fc68584ce6` use the same
current DB factory and checkpoint policy (request/liveness/checkpoint =
10/2/3). Eight 65-second ABBA arms cover 300 controllers and 10,000
historical tasks. All correctness, absolute and 10% relative gates pass;
original cap-two failures remain unchanged.

| Mode | DB CPU µs/op, baseline → candidate | WAL B/op, baseline →
candidate | DB-request p99 ms, baseline → candidate | Maximum drain |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Steady | 542.40 → 554.83 (+2.29%) | 1509.01 → 1558.27 (+3.26%) |
107.11 → 111.90 (+4.48%) | 26.35 ms |
| Burst | 1036.36 → 1063.11 (+2.58%) | 4153.12 → 4317.64 (+3.96%) |
103.736 → 103.841 (+0.10%) | 930.14 ms |

Every matched arm preserves operation/statement/transaction counts,
including 3,900 PRP and 3,900 snapshot transactions. All three actual
pools are included; there are zero lost owners, missed lease deadlines,
dropped operations or errors. Peak Postgres CPU is 18.31%/9.47% of two
cores and memory 614.29/684.42 MiB (steady/burst). The benchmark uses
one Node process simulating 300 controllers; it does not qualify
two-webserver overlap, HTTP latency or hosted capacity. Its observer SQL
contributes to measured database CPU. The original unmodified cap-two
baseline is separately retained as failed; this cap-three comparison is
explicitly controlled.

The exact final-source 8/512/8,192-chunk test also passes: zero recovery
SQL, transactions or changed rows in each text-only interval, zero idle
SQL, seven lifecycle transactions and twelve changed rows per sample.
Existing lease traffic remains separate. The final ordinary managed
application replay passes active recovery, completion, native-cache
removal and C continuation; its UNKNOWN local debug-daemon provenance
and partial instruction-observer limits remain recorded. The live case
uses the attested Linux producer instead.


**Live qualification: PASS, one attempt, no retries.** Campaign
`native-controller-retained-fix-fc68584ce6-ec2-20261031T044055Z` started
04:40:56 UTC on the exact final Linux webserver source; suite definition
hash `12f9bb97823c1537e43f0398e7cddf39890f77bce7b413ca4dfd944f4a30e5d5`.
The existing immutable image and attested Bookworm Runner artifact are
unchanged.

- A was SIGKILLed and its native cache discarded. B started after
300,149 ms, naturally acquired generation 2, authenticated at 316,624 ms
and resumed at 317,682 ms within the original 420,000 ms grace. The same
active run, Runner, provider PID/start fingerprint and one
submitted/started/accepted turn were preserved; one final
result/terminal and workspace finalization completed, with no
retry/recovery action.
- After active and queued completion, B was SIGKILLed and its native
cache discarded again. C received exactly one ordinary task-comment API
follow-up, completed a new tool and produced a useful reply while
preserving native/provider/Runner identities. This closes the earlier
failed post-C gate. A separate C OS-process PID field was not exported;
the physical-PID proof is specifically A→B.
- Four distinct results were accepted and published; all four
finalizations committed at attempt 1, all four accounting-v2 projections
settled, and the task-session pointer advanced to C. The coordinator
independently checked these facts and all 49 canonical checks against
the sanitized receipts.
- Canonical cleanup passed and independent checks confirmed three exact
sandbox 404s plus complete inventory/zero owned remnants, no owned PG or
controller/observer processes, EC2 terminated, root volume absent, and
the ephemeral SSH key/agent removed by 04:54:25 UTC.

Live scope is classic remote Codex warm continuity with non-native
storage dependencies available. Prepared-task completed B→C, full
per-turn application disk loss, browser reconnection, two-server load
and overall Railway/HTTP continuity were not live-qualified here.
Earlier failed campaigns and the original cap-two burst failure remain
failed historical evidence. A report-renderer cache setup failure was
preserved; the normal sanitizer subsequently succeeded with an explicit
cache path and a new output directory, without changing validators.


The repair keeps retained events under their original six-field
authority until persistence and accounting accept them. Unknown semantic
effects stay unresolved. A compact staged target survives source
bootstrap, cached-command delivery and authenticated handoff, including
an uncertain commit response. Direct and same-guest-listener recovery
require the verified original Runner and the exact endpoint. Target
snapshot publication marks readiness in memory, with retirement
coalesced into an existing command write. Headers contain only the
staged descriptor/digest; a prequeue template is written once as a
changed checkpoint part and then recovered from the existing
command/receipt. No second session snapshot transaction, streaming SQL
path, new pool or recurring idle scan is added.

| Current repair gate | Evidence and scope |
| --- | --- |
| Source-tail regression | Real Runner protocol RED reproduced
attachment rejection. Frozen core/transport pass five source-tail cases:
source usage attribution, held persistence/no premature ACK, lost commit
response plus cache loss, unknown semantic hold and accounting rejection
hold. |
| Handoff loss windows | Direct and listener modes pass
queued/prepared/activated/completed boundaries (eight cells), preserving
the actual Runner/provider process. Missing adoption proof and changed
endpoints reject recovery. |
| Compact storage | A 31 KiB attachment grant writes its separate part
once, leaves it unchanged across source snapshots and removes it at
queueing. Headers do not duplicate the grant. |
| Accounting | 21 real-Postgres usage tests and 19 source-binding tests
pass. Recovery hydrates immutable source receipts without resetting
their producer or billing classification; conflicting/incomplete usage
holds. |
| Admission and malformed evidence | Driver 16, staged evidence 42,
restart classifier 27 and source usage 19 focused cases pass. Four
malformed-file regressions pass at d6a7, whose executor is
byte-identical at 484, and server typecheck passes. Full executor file:
990 pass; 16 embedded-Postgres `initdb` setup failures before
assertions, retained separately. |
| Required checks | Exact fc68584 recursive typecheck and build pass
locally, with matching server stamp. Forced full CI succeeds (48 jobs
pass, one intended skip); all PR checks are clean. Maps/token gates pass
for their unchanged source surfaces. Fresh exact-head Greptile is 5/5,
all six threads resolved. |
| Ordinary application path | Exact fc68584 managed component passes
active recovery after natural expiry, completion, native-cache loss and
ordinary C continuation. Production bytes match before/after; temporary
fixtures restored and owned DB/services cleaned. UNKNOWN local
debug-daemon/partial instruction-observer limits remain; the separate
live case uses the attested Linux producer. |
| Producer | Locked Bookworm build from exact 5b7 Rust tree
d03e494217, equal to final fc68584 Rust
source. SHA-256
65b8f8cfdd6099e9ad24f1ca154e8a260777269cc82f6e23c6e6a180c531eaaf;
38,515,328 bytes. Actual Debian 12 execution and live admission pass.
Controller/admission/DB changes do not relabel the producer source. |
| Historical cap-two comparison | Exact 59da baseline vs 5b7 candidate,
300 controllers/10,000 history, ABBA 4×65 s per mode, all three actual
pools and real snapshots. Steady CPU/op 541.36→554.64 µs (+2.45%);
WAL/op 1512.13→1560.99 B (+3.23%); DB-request p99 102.78→105.99 ms
(+3.12%): PASS. Burst CPU/op +4.71%, WAL/op +5.29%, p99 −0.10% pass
relative gates, but absolute drains above fail. Identical operation/SQL
counts, zero lost leases/drops/errors. One Node process simulates 300
controllers; this does not qualify two-webserver overlap or HTTP
capacity. |
| Live acceptance | Strict final-source Linux classic Codex case passes
1/1 on attempt 1, all 49 checks. Active recovery within grace and useful
retained C continuation succeed; four
accepted/published/committed/settled outcomes. Independent provider,
PG/process, VM/root and SSH cleanup complete. Prepared/task and broader
rollout limits are explicit above. |

**Historical qualification snapshot through `9eb9ac6`.** The head at
this snapshot was `9eb9ac6f9e312f3ebe8040f5a7565e88ae8824f3`. Server and
Runner package sources are byte-identical to `283e05ffaa`; the two later
commits change the explicitly scoped qualification and its documentation
only. It includes master through the storage-owner fix
`45a3a92e6dc52d20923b9aa34a22fee2ec5443f9` (#18357). At that snapshot,
CI/review passed but the strict post-C native recovery gate failed; the
PR stayed draft and required another native repair. Prior `39a4343` CI
and review passed, but its full live workflow failed; that grade remains
unchanged. The first repaired `435ccd2` live attempt failed before any
injected outage. It exposed a legitimate terminal snapshot before result
acceptance; no accepted result ID or publication receipt was observed.
Its canonical report remains 0/1 `candidate_failure`, with cleanup
passed and independent provider absence confirmed. `0862062` defers
publication until result acceptance and fixes the fresh review's
coordinator/issue lock-order finding. Both failures have deterministic
real-Postgres regressions. The `0862062` live attempt then proved
accepted-result publication but failed active recovery: a resumed-lease
preparation guard demanded suspension after the exact live Runner was
already verified for adoption. `64c0b746` preserves that verified
active/idle-warm process, revalidates its proof/liveness, and keeps
ordinary suspension checks and later PRP authentication. Its live run
passed preparation but exposed a second active-warm boundary: all
durable binding fields matched except opaque turn/item attachment IDs,
which the server had regenerated. `7a203274` carries the complete
verified six-field binding and keeps the strict Runner mismatch guard.
Its cloud case then passed active adoption, completion, publication and
accounting. The queued continuation exposed accepted-result retirement
writes and an implicit-home fingerprint drift; both are fixed with
deterministic regressions in `39a4343` before this fresh full
qualification.

The prior live case exposed a real publication gap. A goal-less native
turn could persist its accepted result and terminal snapshot before
provider cleanup, while the task-session pointer was still empty. Normal
later admission then selected a fresh session. The fix publishes that
pointer and a private bound receipt in the **existing post-acceptance
terminal checkpoint transaction**, before cleanup. Earlier terminal
observations persist without a handled receipt or continuation pointer.
No result-acceptance or snapshot transaction was added. The late
completion path recognizes the receipt. This also prevents a late
callback from restoring a pointer after a user reset. Goal/control
publication keeps its existing owner.

The dedicated Daytona fixture now uses the existing warm/reusable
environment. Its sandbox, Runner and provider storage must survive. The
former generic per-turn fixture disposed the sandbox after completion
and kept provider-history backup bytes under the discarded directory.
Whole per-turn disk-loss acceptance therefore has a separate
provider-backup storage dependency. It remains distinct from the passing
native per-turn component checks with backup storage available. The
60-second lease, 300-second outage and 420-second grace are unchanged.

| Gate | Current repair evidence |
| --- | --- |
| Assembled regression | Baseline fails with an accepted result and
terminal snapshot but a NULL task pointer while real provider cleanup is
held. The fix passes normal continuation and reset cases, with no
pointer seeding. Exact merged `92b7447` passed 2/2 twice, including
after normal package TypeScript output refresh. Production files are
byte-identical at frozen `435ccd2`. |
| Persistence and concurrency | 19 helper/transaction cases and all 59
existing control-port cases pass on `0862062`. They cover bound result
IDs, reset/newer epochs, Stop, lock waits and expiry, receipt replay,
missing stubs, foreign bindings and atomic 4 KiB rollback. Existing
snapshot transaction count stays one. The new tests reproduce the exact
live missing-result-ID error and the inverse replay/status lock order
against `435ccd2`, then pass after the correction. Replayed results
still reject stale generations. |
| Completion | All 32 completion-boundary tests pass on merged
`92b7447`; the source is unchanged at `435ccd2`. Native result-shaped
session metadata is preserved. |
| Qualification fixture | A valid review report reproduced three
rejected correct replies. Exact token-boundary matching fixes them. 140
focused E2E/catalog cases and Product E2E typecheck pass. Wrong tokens,
marker prefixes/suffixes and wrong authors remain rejected;
retained-identity checks are unchanged. |
| Required checks | Full recursive typecheck and standard build passed
at `435ccd2`. Both exact commands also passed on `0862062`, with its
exact server build stamp; both also pass on `7a203274`, with its exact
server build stamp. Fresh `0862062` Greptile passed 5/5, with zero
unresolved threads. The `64c0b746` normal CI then passed all 49 jobs (48
success, one expected skip) and Greptile passed 5/5 with zero unresolved
findings. The `7a203274` normal CI also passed 48 jobs with one expected
skip, with fresh Greptile 5/5 and zero unresolved findings. Current
`39a4343` recursive typecheck and standard build both pass with
persisted exit codes and its exact build stamp; fresh Greptile is 5/5
with zero unresolved findings. Its normal CI completed successfully: 48
jobs passed and one expected job skipped. The fresh live result remains
separately failed. The `0862062` normal CI had 46 passing jobs, one
expected skip, one worker communication failure and its aggregate
failure; GitHub states the self-hosted runner lost communication. No
failed assertion or specific OOM/spot cause was established, and no
blind retry was used. |
| PostgreSQL supplement | One corrected all-pool pair at the preceding
repair passed 300-controller/10,000-history correctness and absolute
gates. SQL 76,590→75,990; transactions 9,013→8,713; UPDATE rows 11,613
each; 300 correct pointer writes each. PG CPU 31.99→30.46 s, WAL
70.36→67.87 MB, request p99 100.98→103.12 ms. This is one pair, not a
repeated improvement claim or an exact `0862062` CPU measurement. Its
two later changes defer premature publication and reorder existing
locks; they add no transaction, stream/idle writer, pool or timer. The
first collapsed-pool attempt remains invalid and retained. This is not
an exact final-head CPU/WAL measurement; later fixes change ordering,
identity selection and in-memory skill replacement without adding
snapshot transactions, pools, stream writes or idle SQL. |
| Live publication proof (`0862062`) | Baseline run
`06fcc806-f186-4190-9b57-087b61d75533` accepted result
`58f912dc-94d9-4b4d-bd3d-d5f689c83fd3`; the publication receipt names
the same result, the task pointer has parameters and `lastRunId`
matches, and the normalized native identity matches the following active
run. Accounting v2 settled. |
| Active recovery (`0862062`) | **FAIL.** SIGKILL/cache discard at
23:07:28.666 UTC; hold 300,000.859 ms; B ready at 308,896.486 ms;
natural generation-2 ownership at 312,906 ms. At about 319 s,
preparation failed `runner_harness_state_mismatch:
resumed_not_suspended`. No authenticated after-receipt passed within 420
s. Exact original Runner PID 668/start/fingerprint was independently
still alive; provider auto-stop was 15 minutes. No retained C follow-up
qualified. Canonical 0/1 `cleanup_failure`/cleanup-failed report remains
failed; subsequent independent cleanup deleted all three owned resources
with exact 404s and confirmed full intended-account inventory with zero
owned resources. |
| Verified adoption preparation (`64c0b746`) | 91 focused cases pass,
including actual preparation for four active providers and a distinct
prior/current warm proof. Unproved resumed state, dead process and stale
warm owner remain rejected. The earlier options-only fixture missed this
gate. No spawn, backup restore or PRP-authentication bypass was added.
Server typecheck passes. |
| Active warm identity (`64c0b746`) | **FAIL.** B claimed generation 2
at 312,995 ms. Preparation passed, then strict PRP recovery rejected the
generated attachment IDs at about 319 s. The saved and desired Runner,
lease, normalized session and run IDs matched; only
`turn_attachment_…`/`item_attachment_…` differed from generated
`turn-<run>`/`item-<run>`. Canonical 0/1 cleanup-failed report remains
failed; independent cleanup confirmed deletion/404s and zero owned
provider resources. |
| Six-field identity repair (`7a203274`) | Actual server-factory
regression RED4→GREEN38. A real Rust Runner test passes healthy first
run → random-ID warm handoff → held active second run → restored
controller. It verifies a new live authenticated connection, exact
identity, same Runner/provider OS identities, no duplicate launch/turn,
and no redispatch or invented receipt for an uncertain tool. The
synthetic wrong pair still fails the unchanged guard. This protocol case
does not claim business completion. Server and Runner typechecks pass. |
| Active recovery/completion (`7a203274`) | **PASS for the active
component.** Full five-minute SIGKILL/cache-loss hold. B ready at
308,936.651 ms; natural generation 2 observed 312,979 ms; authenticated
at 317,720 ms and resumed processing at 318,527 ms. Same run
`1e1ccb00-0728-4935-97da-57562d81cb42`, Runner
`246f73f7-a689-4177-a9c2-7ce711d63aed`, remote PID 669/start
23:48:27.470, provider lease/session and one submitted turn. Accepted
result `49097529-5310-4ac3-af95-5bf9b91d19f4`, publication, finalization
and accounting v2 all settled. |
| Full workflow (`7a203274`) | **FAIL, preserved.** Queued
late-requirement run `5e61f38d-c7d1-4fc1-bcbf-bce9d46ce4eb` failed
`runner did not durably suspend before checkpoint` before outage 2.
Canonical 0/1 candidate failure, cleanup passed, evidence valid. C
retention was not exercised. Independent provider absence,
controllers/PG cleanup, EC2 termination and root-volume absence all
confirmed; closed receipt SHA-256
`676a3b15eb9937b6bf995c36fb8666c88964d509e5ceb9109fb02da0aa2bc909`. |
| Retirement and stable configuration (`39a4343`) | Real Runner +
Postgres RED reproduced the exact suspension failure and nine owner
rejections. `turn.stop` is now lifecycle checkpoint maintenance under
unchanged owner/result/generation fences. GREEN25/25 proves actual
persisted suspension, exact identity and completed stop/drain/suspend;
unaccepted, foreign, stale and new-work negatives remain rejected. Two
default-home fingerprint REDs become GREEN9/9; explicit mode changes
still invalidate. No global matching exemption or historical fingerprint
rewrite. |
| Fresh full Daytona warm cell (`39a4343`) | **FAIL, preserved.**
Launched 00:15:29 UTC with automatic retries disabled. Active adoption
passed: actual offline hold 300,000.848 ms; B ready 309,922.155 ms;
natural generation 2 at 311,821 ms; authenticated 317,989 ms; resumed
330,440 ms. Same run `3e126819-e786-4b3b-b923-c975cf4f5b79`, Runner
`4079138a-8d7c-44a4-8558-07a5411d1f55`, PID 668/start and
provider/session identities. Accepted result
`08e504af-4dec-48a8-bf05-bf0a32280559` and publication passed. Queued
run `31d168c9-7ab9-4700-abb6-fafb90912237` failed the same strict
suspension error before outage 2. Its row selected a new native
identity, but no new third provider process or invocation was observed.
Recovery-time configuration still reset only `adapterConfig`; native
provider, context and workspace subtrees were unchanged. Canonical 0/1
candidate failure, evidence valid, normal cleanup passed; all campaign
provider/PG/process resources independently absent. Closed campaign

`5e7d6281c13c812f3a946667f97f3c7d339b5ad86a3a819bd185b2fa73bc4a19`;
EC2/SSH remain temporarily held for the concrete follow-up repair.
Original 60/300/420-second limits and strict queued/second-replacement
checks remain unchanged. Direct-process path; no new live prepared-task
claim. |
| Native retirement authority (`283e05ffaa`) | Exact `39a4343` facade
regression RED3→GREEN9. The successor now uses its existing production
coordinator claim and prompt renewal before strict retirement. A real
Runner/Postgres case starts in the actual native-observed/unclaimed
phase, claims through production code, then closes and durably suspends
the predecessor in 1.657 s. All 25 real-Postgres cases pass;
unclaimed/foreign writers remain rejected. Shared attachment staging
stays after retirement; Stop and denied claims neither close nor stage.
No new claim or SQL path was added. |
| Configuration continuity (`283e05ffaa`) | Real shared/project-primary
environment selection → configuration with four skill versions
reproduces `reset: true`, changed category exactly `adapterConfig`,
after a Postgres JSONB read. Pinned restoration had reordered the
generated preference while actual runtime skills stayed identical.
Replacing existing pinned rows in place preserves the original fresh
name/key order and fingerprint. The assembled regression passes, as do
three existing pinned-version/rename/alias cases and server typecheck.
Genuine model/skill-selection changes still invalidate. No
fingerprint-format change or broad compatibility exemption. |
| Final production repair (`283e05ffaa`) | Full recursive
typecheck/build and [normal
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41151145106)
PASS: 48 jobs plus one expected skip. Fresh review 5/5, zero unresolved
threads. Live baseline, recovered run and queued continuation all
succeeded, each accepted/published/committed once with accounting v2
settled. Their native/provider identities and configuration fingerprint
match; both recovery and continuation report no reset, no changed
categories and task-session reuse. Active outage/authentication remains
within original timing. |
| Browser-dependent continuation (`283e05ffaa`, definition 6) | **Whole
cell FAIL, preserved.** After B was killed at 00:46:38.928 and its cache
discarded, C became ready in 9,151.410 ms. `openParent()` then hit a
30-second `page.goto`/DOMContentLoaded timeout before posting the final
request. No fourth native run or C continuation was exercised. Cause of
navigation timeout is unknown. C task had no execution lock, queued
comments, handoff or recovery blocker; all three prior runs were
committed/accounted. Normal cleanup passed; independent provider
absence, controller/PG cleanup, EC2 termination and exact root-volume
absence confirmed. Sanitized report bundle SHA-256
`2a3b841d62efb2ae30ef14f96a431ac4fa7fe3a782f1144831512f78edc65022`. |
| Native API continuation qualification (`9eb9ac6f9e`, definition 7) |
**FAIL, preserved.** The real post-C API request dispatched run
`c71fbb18-f979-4fe4-93ce-9c4be46dbf21`, which failed
`native_session_interrupted` / `native_session_recovery_failed` at
01:10:00.640 UTC. It selected the same normalized native identity,
Runner and checkpoint-provider identity as the three succeeded turns. No
C result was accepted; pending accounting remains explicit. Active
recovery passed: actual offline hold 300,001.098 ms, B ready 308,335.019
ms, natural generation 2 observed 311,818 ms, authenticated 315,540 ms,

summary checked, zero unresolved threads. Exact8/512/8,192 stream probes
again report zero recovery SQL/transactions/rows and settled-idle SQL;
seven control transactions/twelve changed rows each, with 36 separate
legitimate renewals in the longest case. CI success does not supersede
the failed live C gate. |

The completion supplement observed secondary request/liveness/checkpoint
transaction p99 increases of 23.0%/45.7%/15.6% in its single pair.
Renewal p99 stayed below 0.865 s, with 900 successful renewals per arm
and no lost leases. The named pool caps stayed 10+2+2. An aggregate
activity sample peaked at 15 non-observer entries without backend-type
classification, so no claim is made that all were client connections. No
sampled lock episodes does not establish zero lock waits.

Twelve pure reader/selector cases also pass with the new adjacent
receipt. This is not another executed process rollback. Development
reader `5cf7aead` can parse the recovery state, but its old run-detail
redactor can expose receipt IDs/outcome to an authorized run reader. The
first production release containing recovery readers, complete
attachment-identity handling and both private-field redactions is the
rollback floor. The implicit-home fix prevents new recovery-time
fingerprint drift; it does not rewrite previously stored fingerprints
from failed candidates. The development probe is not a published
supported rollback target.

Latest actual `0862062` Runner tests independently passed 8/512/8,192
text chunks with zero recovery SQL, transactions and changed rows, plus
zero settled-idle SQL. All three observed seven setup/control
transactions and twelve changed rows. The 8,192-chunk case separately
recorded 31 legitimate lease-renewal statements, with no lost lease.
These are component SQL observations, not a production CPU/WAL claim.
The new adoption and identity branches affect recovery preparation only.
The `64c0b746`, `7a203274` and exact `39a4343` CI independently passed
all three stream sizes with the same zero-SQL/idle result; each latest
8,192-chunk case recorded 36 separate renewal statements. Exact
`39a4343` Runner 2/2 passed 133 files / 2,317 tests plus two skips; its
separate native group passed 150 tests plus eight skips.

The first API fixture revision omitted the mandatory final screenshot;
this was caught before paid launch and allocated no provider/model work.
The correction captures the actual retained Chromium page with an
explicit unqualified-browser label, without changing the standard report
validator.

Automatic approval review rejected exporting raw private API/workflow
snapshots because of sensitive payloads and insufficient
destination-specific authorization. Sanitized reports and
bound/hash-only receipts are retained; raw snapshots were not copied
through another channel. This does not change the failed grade.

Repair characterization also preserves its failed attempts. An
unconditional staging relocation broke three existing same-scope
scripted cases; the final implementation defers staging only for an
actual superseded warm scope, and all nine order/race cases pass. One
baseline transform overlapped an edit and is explicitly invalid; the
actual immutable `39a4343` loader then produced the three genuine REDs.
The independent task-directory hypothesis produced a RED but was
excluded by the live shared-workspace evidence; no directory policy
change was landed. A shared-workspace fixture authorization omission was
corrected separately from the four-skill semantic RED.

Setup failures are retained separately from semantic outcomes. These
include an old host port after the owned Postgres fixture restarted and
a sandbox-denied TSX IPC pipe. The supported external-Postgres run
passed, and the final exact recursive typecheck passes with normal
process permissions. Seven stale declaration errors after the master
merge cleared after compiling the actual merged SDK/Runner TypeScript
sources. No declarations were edited by hand.

<details>
<summary>Earlier qualification measurements and failed attempts
(historical, before this repair)</summary>

**Historical blocked gate (before the repair below).** Final native
implementation is `abed921e12d543b62f57a56435419c0dafb0bc33`; current
branch head is `af9e2d157dcc349e55374ad186c9be2d6cb96bf9`. The two later
commits change only qualification fixtures, their matcher and
documentation; `server/` and `packages/` are unchanged. It includes
master through `fd008979f5794fda3d5f54151d36acd31d0de140`.

The live Daytona measurement proves five-minute active recovery,
once-only completion and accounting, but **fails retained-session
identity after the second replacement**. The saved checkpoint and
recovery metadata exist. The task-session pointer remains empty, and
ordinary admission creates new native/provider sessions. The exact
skipped publication boundary remains unproven. A useful saved-file
result alone does not satisfy retained-session continuation. This
application-path gap blocks merge independently of CI.

A separate new-master CI failure is owned by the storage workstream (fix
in #18357). No storage guard, session-identity oracle, lease/grace limit
or provider result was relaxed.

| Gate | Observed result and exact scope |
| --- | --- |
| Distinct source recovery and compatible rollback | PASS at A
`5cf7aead09a2d9c7e2f2929d761f535ef3c1d798` → B
`5ea45f8d17e33c9a62bd79982dcf0375b07733d0` → fresh B → A. Four
controller processes, natural 60-second lease expiry, absent native
projections before replacements, three succeeded/committed unique
results, one provider thread, unchanged Runner identity, and strict idle
cleanup. 177.782 seconds. |
| Immutable installed native component | PASS at installed A
`5cf7aead09a2d9c7e2f2929d761f535ef3c1d798` → installed B
`eaef0d56552c087aaa4fa68a8655282ffbd12667` → fresh B → A. Each
controller imports its contained compiled server and DB. Three unique
committed results, stable Runner/thread, no extra provider restart on
same-contract rollback, strict cleanup. 106.672 seconds. This is
compiled component proof, separate from full CLI-native application
acceptance. |
| Normal public CLI startup | PASS for B
`eaef0d56552c087aaa4fa68a8655282ffbd12667`, Node 24.22.1, darwin-arm64:
fresh external DB, 415 migrations, health ready, root HTML 200, company
POST 201 plus GET readback. The installed tree remained unchanged after
execution. |
| Five-minute component outage | Actual controller absence 300,168 ms.
Natural generation-2 claim at 407.196 seconds after crash, same provider
attempt and Runner, original run succeeded/committed. The larger
540-second case timed out before its retained follow-ups, so it is an
active-adoption pass, not a complete four-controller pass. The complete
short source/installed cases above independently cover follow-up and
rollback. |
| Drain/resume review regression | Fixed in
`226f03e736d1ee99fea1762ab32ea3a8a9241c20`. Five facade-level cases
pass: overdue normal/restart waits, future timer cancellation, another
facade resuming the original owner, and transient retry. Against exact
prior scheduler `5ea45f8d17e33c9a62bd79982dcf0375b07733d0`, four fail
and one passes. The later head changes documentation only. |
| Final corrected-fixture Daytona | **PARTIAL: active recovery PASS;
retained identity FAIL**, exact live source `0b6afc499f`. A was
SIGKILLed and native cache discarded; actual offline hold 300,000.375
ms. B was ready at 308,326.961 ms, naturally claimed generation 2 at
312,059 ms, authenticated at 315,996 ms and resumed processing at
316,519 ms, within the original 420-second boundary. The same run,
Runner PID/start, session, lease and event prefix survived; one turn
submitted. Original execution succeeded and settled accounting. After
completion, B was killed and its native cache discarded; C was ready in
9,077.779 ms. C executed the saved project and returned correct
`queue_r`, with all four runs succeeded/accounted. However, native and
true provider-session identities changed: the unchanged retained oracle
fails. No whole-workflow pass is claimed. |
| Prior matched-producer Daytona | FAILED at exact `abed921e12`. The
matching current-source Runner passed normal admission, completed the
first task and settled its accounting. During the active revision, A was
SIGKILLed and its native cache discarded. Actual offline hold was
300,000.727 ms; B was ready at 308,304 ms and naturally claimed
generation 2 at 309,651 ms. At about 318 seconds, the remote process
check reported `process_not_running` for the original admitted Runner.
No authenticated after-receipt or retained follow-up passed. The current
failure is preserved; no automatic retry, lease/grace relaxation, debt
edit or provider replay is used. Bounded forensic read found preserved
exact-bound state with no recoverable failure, a transport-reset
diagnostic and no terminal delivery; this supports external process loss
without proving the exact cause. The sandbox had a five-minute auto-stop
policy, conflicting with the required surviving-sandbox assumption.
Owned cleanup precedes the separate corrected-fixture case. |

**Live retained-session boundary.** Prior completed run `3806…` and C
follow-up `8adf1df3-6744-40bf-b35d-100451f29d9f` both have database
session snapshots and `nativeControllerRecovery`. Their tool
fingerprint, provider configuration, workspace descriptor,
runtime-context digest, driver and work mode match. There is no recorded
force-fresh/workspace-selection change, and this is an ordinary task
rather than a conversation-generation reset. The same issue/agent
task-session row has `session_params_json: null` and `last_run_id: null`
from baseline time. Both native normalized UUID and actual provider
session/thread hashes differ after C. Full application admission
therefore did not select the retained source. No fallback to file
execution or relaxed identity comparison is accepted as proof of
continuity.

**Independent cleanup completed.** Full current-account provider
inventory confirms no resources owned by either final fixture, with
exact-ID absence checks. Owned controllers and campaign Postgres are
stopped/removed. EC2 `i-01551c09af098dde5` is terminated, its
delete-on-termination root volume returned `InvalidVolume.NotFound` at
22:14:08 UTC, and the temporary SSH key/agent were removed. The
canonical failed report and immutable oracle input are retained. Closed
qualification receipt SHA-256:
`b4b5fefce287ebfdbf2cc2238efaad62d8ad485aed0e9c0628ae95dbc18a8575`.

**Original measurement and grader repair remain separate.** The C reply
contains the requested marker followed by a newline and the correct
output. The old workflow waited for one literal space, so its normal
receipt collection stalled; that original attempt was closed and its
canonical `cleanup_failure`/interrupted result is preserved. Commit
`af9e2d157d` repairs only this reply predicate, with 144 focused cases,
E2E typecheck, discovery and diff checks passing. Ordinary string
matching stays literal. The corrected predicate accepts the saved reply,
but the unchanged retained-identity oracle still fails. Pure
active-recovery grading of the captured measurement passes 7/7; this is
not a rewritten passing campaign.

The sandbox idle-window conflict was corrected only for this explicit
fixture (15 minutes). Actual baseline and later sandbox metadata confirm
that policy; the original active box was disposed before a post-gate
policy read, so its 15-minute setting is established by the normal
create/environment configuration rather than an after-read of that box.
Production native lifecycle and the 60/300/420-second constants remain
unchanged.

The development compatibility reader A is a genuine backport commit
based on `59ff89a18fe1312b5f0bb908439bbdb1237b0252`, with the required
idle-goal reader fixes. It is not a previously published release. Its
older executor differs from B. The rollback floor must include this
reader capability. The source component cases admitted the Linux ARM64
Runner packaged at `59ff89a18fe1312b5f0bb908439bbdb1237b0252`; the
installed component case admitted the `5cf7aead` package. Their Runner
bytes are identical: SHA-256
`b1f04caa1ce04e720dec7eb62ede170eb3621948c0849b8f305ea5c5116bced8`. Each
admitted artifact remained unchanged throughout its case.

[Final public package
build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41121460635)
and [reader-floor
build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41122170506)
both passed all four daemon builds, package assembly and both Darwin
clean consumers. Both Linux ARM consumers failed before provider work
with the same existing local Codex permission-profile error: bubblewrap
attempts `activity.fifo/.git` and reports “Not a directory.” This
matched baseline failure remains open; it is not a native remote
continuity pass. Full post-run tree and build-stamp revalidation also
passed after the compiled native case. The installed component trees are
A `c29114c1bf71c5af00f761aeb9e3d84ed3d3075b9f5600dee3ef2543eb2b6ec5` and
B `eda575505373a3bdc630fa4919862b359791fe3a7ef637961a25b73b38efe4b0`.

**Controlled PostgreSQL qualification passed.**
Baseline/candidate/candidate/baseline workloads used 300 controllers,
10,000 historical tasks, real snapshot/encrypted PRP writes and
unchanged pools. PostgreSQL and client were each limited to two CPUs and
1536 MiB on an isolated eight-vCPU Linux host.

| Workload | PG CPU per operation | WAL per operation | Database request
p99 |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Steady | +1.18% | +1.81% | +1.91% |
| Aligned burst | +3.40% | +2.56% | +3.81% |
| Two logical servers | +3.11% | +2.56% | +9.68% |

All arms passed absolute/correctness gates with unchanged control
transaction counts, no dropped operations and no owner loss. Overlap p99
has little margin below the relative threshold. It uses two clients in
one Node process, not two HTTP servers. [Closed measurements and
limitations](doc/plans/2026-10-30-native-controller-qualification-evidence.json)
and exact-source reproduction patches are retained. [Earlier
contended-host
failures](doc/plans/2026-10-30-native-controller-load-evidence.json)
remain unchanged. The production DB-claim probe claimed 300 owners in
2.84 seconds and restored/committed controls and snapshots in 8.74
seconds, with zero owner loss or settled-idle SQL; its provider
references were synthetic. The measured checkpoint/snapshot/renewal
paths retain the same persistence behavior after integration; later
accounting and business writes have separate owners.

Actual Runner stream tests at `da8c7f6e1837ddd896dfe83a7524812fee813487`
passed 8/512/8,192 chunks: zero recovery SQL, transactions and changed
rows during text intervals; zero settled-idle SQL. Each retained seven
control transactions and twelve changed records. Existing renewal SQL
was measured separately. The guard/scheduler fixes add no stream path,
pool or recurring idle scan.

The live fixture used current-source producer SHA-256
`f0000c90cb83880191479da639201e659aa6ce0fc7d67c859faa172ec977849e`, a
normal locked exact-head build with pinned Rust 1.97.1 in Bookworm.
Actual network-isolated, read-only ABI execution passed (GLIBC
requirement 2.34 against runtime 2.36). The immutable base image
remained
`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:36069788f53c51f228764fa36180575443dfb5d1f84a342d7c0daceb28dc61cc`,
source `a0ef3ce7`. This was an unpublished development producer,
explicitly distinct from the base image and admitted before the fresh
fixture began. The earlier host build failed ABI preflight before
admission. The preceding old-producer fixture completed its initial task
but lacked the usage-basis marker required by current master; it
remained pending/unpriced and correctly paused. It was independently
cleaned without debt or budget changes. Two preceding local Linux setup
attempts OOM-killed before provider allocation, and their cleanup
passed. These attempts remain separate from the final recovery failure.

**Failures retained and resolved separately.** The earlier `98f05fc`
probe rejected a valid settled PRP v2 goal suffix; `eaef0d5` fixed that
reader and the fresh follow-up passed. Later component cleanup failures
were traced by a scoped exception observer to the fixture adapter
rejecting directory downloads. A bounded owned-directory transfer with
exact-byte/mode preflight corrected the fixture; source and installed
strict-cleanup cases then passed. No production guard was relaxed. The
initial local integrated control-port run hit its 30-second embedded
Postgres startup hook before executing 59 cases; 18 other focused cases
passed. A bounded rerun used a fresh owned external Postgres fixture,
applied normal migrations before Vitest, and passed all 59 cases with
the original timeouts unchanged. Its container and data were removed;
the failed attempt remains retained.

The additional opt-in full Product E2E Vitest run is not green: 5,313
passed, seven failed and three skipped. An actual `abed921e12` archive
with the same dependencies, Node and IPC permissions reproduces all
seven failures with the same reasons. Five are unchanged
workflow-policy/profile-pin assertions, including Pi profile version 37
versus the test pin 35. Two database suites failed during embedded
Postgres startup before their assertions; semaphore exhaustion is
confirmed in the observer log. The observer passes its supported
external-Postgres rerun with original timeouts and source unchanged. The
controller-database client-kill/postmaster assertions remain unexecuted
after `initdb` bootstrap failure; no external override is supported. The
unit launcher stopped before its Node-test phase, which was then run
independently and passed 181/181. The original failed full run is
preserved. These results remain distinct from the passing focused checks
and normal repository CI. The first local Product E2E typecheck also
encountered stale compiled Runner declarations; a genuine package-local
TypeScript compile refreshed them and the unchanged check passed,
without a dependency install or producer rebuild.

Earlier [Daytona campaign
41108162900](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41108162900)
failed at sandbox creation before any agent, with the underlying
provider error unavailable. Its [sanitized
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-41108162900-2/index.html)
remains a `cleanup_failure`. Both old creation names are absent in the
current authenticated account, but the old CI account identity was not
retained, so account equivalence is unproven. The subsequent exact
`eaef0d5` source Product E2E attempt passed image/agent setup and the
initial project, then held the controller offline for 300,003.7 ms. Its
Mac supervisor failed owned-process inspection before B readiness; no
adoption passed. Full current-company lease/label checks, provider
deletion, exact-ID 404s and complete inventory confirmed cleanup of that
attempt. Its local server and owned Postgres stopped. The prior AWS
campaigns and database qualification VM were terminated with root
volumes removed.

The old admitted test Runner lacks the newer usage-basis marker
introduced on master. The integrated component B turns retained
unpriced, incomplete accounting obligations with `costAccountingPending:
true` and no settled charge. The compatibility-reader A turn used its
legacy receipt interpretation but likewise retained pending accounting
and no settlement timestamp. This proves obligation preservation, not a
whole-run accounting migration. Runner/receiver release ordering remains
governed by the usage owner's contract.

At native implementation `abed921e12d543b62f57a56435419c0dafb0bc33`,
Greptile was 5/5 with zero unresolved threads and CI completed with 54
successful checks and five expected skips. At `0b6afc499f`, Greptile
again passed 5/5 with zero unresolved threads, but CI ended with 51
successful checks, five skips and three failures. Server 9/12 fails a
deterministic managed-skills maintenance assertion newly inherited from
master `198218bf` in merge `c80e00ad`; that test is absent from the PR
head, and the storage owner has the explicit-StorageService fix in
#18357. Runner 2/2 passed 2,283 unit cases but its runner received a
shutdown signal during the long stream probe; its cancelled step and
aggregate failure are preserved. No blind retry was used. Current
`af9e2d157d` checks are pending; the matcher-only change passes 144
focused cases and Product E2E typecheck. Earlier scheduling-sensitive CI
failures and the interrupted unsharded local test run remain recorded in
the dated plan. CI runs the repository's normal test partitions. Final
verification does not claim Railway rollout, uninterrupted HTTP service
or whole-webserver filesystem loss.

</details>

## Risks

- The task-pointer repair passes its assembled regression. The first
live repair exposed pre-acceptance ordering and the fresh review exposed
a replay lock-order issue; both are fixed and pass real Postgres tests
at `0862062`. The following live attempt exposed the
verified-running-versus-suspended preparation gate. Its narrow fix
passes 91 focused cases at `64c0b746`. The next live case exposed
synthetic attachment IDs; `7a203274` fixes that field selection and
passes real Runner authentication. The subsequent queued continuation
exposed strict retirement maintenance and a false default-home change;
`39a4343` fixes both with real Runner/Postgres and fingerprint
regressions. The `39a4343` live continuation failed again despite green
CI. `283e05ffaa` repairs the actual native-observed admission ordering
and reproduces/fixes the JSONB skill-order fingerprint drift. Both pass
targeted real-Postgres regressions and the live active plus queued
paths. The definition 6 post-C browser navigation timed out before
admission. Explicit definition 7 now verifies native continuation
through the ordinary comment API; its strict post-C native gate failed
after a real dispatch and remains historical failed evidence. The final
fc68584 repair now passes its fresh strict 49-check Linux/Daytona
campaign; the prior failed grades remain unchanged. Browser reconnection
is handed to its own workstream with the original failed evidence. No
prior failed campaign is reclassified as passing.
- Incorrect checkpoint/source binding or stale ownership could duplicate
external work. Missing evidence remains a hold; existing receipt and
finalization owners keep uncertain effects unresolved.
- Recovery must retain maintenance writes after accepted results without
allowing a stale business turn to write. Real lock-wait and generation
tests cover that boundary.
- The current two-connection paired burst profile fails its absolute
drain gate in both baseline and candidate, despite passing relative load
gates and all correctness checks. A causal capacity diagnostic selected
three slots; the final controlled cap-three profiles pass unchanged
thresholds. Full application replacement and two-server overlap capacity
remain separate. There is no new streaming writer, pool or recurring
idle scan.
- The remote sandbox and Runner must survive the recovery window.
Provider auto-stop is a separate lifetime bound from reconnect grace;
the explicit qualification fixture uses a longer idle window.
- Workspace and provider backup availability remain external
dependencies. This PR does not certify whole-webserver filesystem loss,
uninterrupted HTTP service or a Railway rollout.

## Model Used

Implementation and initial verification used OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex;
the initial hosted snapshot was not exposed. The follow-up qualification
used three OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` workers coordinated through Codex, with
repository tools, code execution, CI and scoped test infrastructure.
Context-window size is not exposed.
