DottaandPaperclip 8ee851a0d8 fix(ui): keep runner turns stable through startup and completion (#16989)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task chat shows each agent turn from message submission through
completion.
> - Run admission can publish adapter metadata before native runtime
metadata.
> - The UI changed layouts during that gap and removed the agent
identity.
> - Completion reports can also arrive before the provider writes its
final reply.
> - The event reader treated those reports as final replies and then
replaced them.
> - This pull request keeps the runner layout stable and delays report
fallbacks until the final history fetch completes.
> - Readers see one provider reply, while report-only runs keep a useful
answer.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Sending a task message briefly replaced the runner avatar, name, and
Thinking row with a generic Working row. At completion, a full report
summary appeared as the answer. A shorter provider reply then replaced
it while streaming.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the runner identity and header spacing stable during admission.
Stream the provider's final reply once. Use a report summary as a
fallback only after the run ends and its final history fetch completes
without a provider reply.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Send a message to a native Paperclip Runner agent.
2. Observe the initial run record before native runtime metadata
arrives.
3. Let the agent call its completion tool before writing its final
response.
4. Observe the report summary, final response stream, and saved reply
handoff.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced from source at `6b804bfeba`. The event-reader behavior was
also present in earlier revisions.

**Deployment mode**

Self-hosted server. Local component tests and browser fixtures reproduce
the UI transitions.

Related work: Refs #12617, which added native runner turns to task chat.
The duplicate search found no open PR for this specific defect.

## What Changed

- Keep Paperclip Runner turns in the runner layout while runtime
metadata resolves. Use the same header spacing for queued and running
states.
- Keep structured reports as report entries. Do not create synthetic
provider final messages from them.
- Track successful event fetches for each run status. Permit a terminal
report fallback after the final fetch, or when the transcript contains
its terminal receipt.
- Preserve report-only answers and saved reply deduplication.
- Add desktop and mobile regressions for streamed replies, late final
events, report-only runs, pagination, and fetch failures. Delay
missing-answer notices until terminal history is ready. Document the
presentation rules in `DESIGN.md`.

## Verification

- Passed all 8,750 UI tests across 769 files. This includes 456 focused
tests for the thread, runner turn, native projection, native transcript
hook, transcript adapter, and boundary fixtures.
- The six completion regressions fail against the old native event
reader and pass with the fix. Three empty-history regressions fail
before the review fix and pass afterward. The startup regressions also
fail against the old layout condition.
- Passed UI TypeScript checking with `node
node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc -b ui/tsconfig.json`.
- Passed the UI production build with `cd ui && node
node_modules/vite/bin/vite.js build`.
- Passed `pnpm check:token-gates`, `git diff --check`, and the Storybook
catalog generator.
- Browser check: mounted the production turn with native event snapshots
at desktop and 390-pixel mobile widths. The report stayed hidden while
running. The actual reply stayed unchanged at completion. The
report-only fallback appeared after completion. The identity row kept
the same position and size. No browser errors or horizontal overflow
occurred. The temporary fixture was removed.
- Passed `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`. Initial attempts failed
with `COPILOT_INSTALLATION_INVALID`. Reinstalling the generated Copilot
assets resolved that local packaging failure without source changes.
- The full repository test run was attempted locally and stopped after
repeated embedded PostgreSQL bootstrap failures in server suites. The
complete UI suite passes independently. In CI, serialized shard 5/9 had
one 15-second timeout in the unchanged `agent-live-run-routes.test.ts`
history-limit case; its other 387 tests passed. All five history-limit
variants pass locally. The single CI job retry passed. The original
timeout cause is not established.

## Risks

- Report-only answers appear later because the UI waits for terminal
history. Failed event fetches keep that fallback pending until a retry
succeeds; provider replies remain visible.
- Historical replies and accepted response-wake behavior retain their
existing resolution rules. The focused tests cover these paths.
- The change does not alter provider execution, completion authority,
database schema, or run timing.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The exact serving model ID and context
window are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning, code execution,
and browser inspection.

Dotta 72b9f92d76 fix(runner): restore task runtime parity (#12685)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task view shows a running agent and lets an operator guide that
agent.
> - The merged runner stack lost parts of the accepted task experience.
> - Native event errors could hide current reasoning from the operator.
> - Queued message steering had no server route on `master`.
> - This pull request restores the task-runtime behavior and keeps the
runner experimental gate.
> - The benefit is a visible and steerable native run with durable
fallback behavior.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The task view could stop showing current runner reasoning. The steering
action also failed because the server route was absent. Runner
instruction files were not declared as supported.

**Expected behavior**

The task view must show current provider activity. It must use the live
log when durable native events are empty or unavailable. The operator
must be able to steer a queued message into the active native turn.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Enable the Paperclip Runner experimental setting.
2. Start a native runner task.
3. Open the task view while the run emits reasoning.
4. Queue a message and select the steering action.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The regression reproduces on `24a674f8858060e77ea1beb50689d26473e91431`.

**Additional context**

Related closed work: Refs #12592.

## What Changed

- Restored the queued-comment steering route for active native sessions.
- Added durable and queue-bound steering acknowledgements for safe
retries.
- Restored runner instruction bundle support.
- Added live-log fallback when native events are empty or unavailable.
- Restored the compact live reasoning ticker in the task view.
- Added a visible temporary-unavailable state when both activity sources
fail.
- Kept the unified Paperclip Runner experimental gate unchanged.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm build`
- Seven focused test files passed with 140 tests.
- The final steering regression file passed with 12 tests.
- The broad local test run reached unrelated workspace, port, and shared
database failures. The changed-area tests remained green.

## Risks

- The steering route changes queue and run records in one transaction.
Tests cover stale targets, unavailable sessions, lost responses, and
wrong-queue acknowledgements.
- Native events remain the primary transcript source. The live log is
used only when event data is absent or its poll fails.
- The experimental gate still hides and rejects the runner when the
setting is off.

Dotta bc9ba7cd26 feat(runner): project native runs into task threads (#12321)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The experimental Paperclip Runner can execute a guarded Codex run
and persist provider-neutral events.
> - The task page still reads direct-adapter transcripts and cannot
present those native events.
> - Structured runner questions must also use the existing task
interaction experience.
> - Runtime selection must use the persisted run mode, not an adapter
name or a current feature flag.
> - This pull request projects native events and questions into the
existing task thread.
> - Direct adapters keep their existing transcript, composer,
interaction, and finalization paths.
> - The benefit is a complete native Codex task thread without a
behavior change for existing adapters.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12202. This pull request replaces that stale implementation on
current `master`.

**What happened?**

The server persists native runner events and structured input requests.
The task page only consumes direct-adapter transcripts. A native run
therefore cannot present a complete transcript, usage, or question flow
through the normal task experience.

**Expected behavior**

Native runs project persisted provider-neutral events into the existing
task thread. Native structured questions use the existing interaction
card. Direct adapters retain their current behavior.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Enable the experimental runner.
2. Start a native Codex run that emits progress, usage, a structured
question, and a final reply.
3. Open the task page.
4. Observe that the direct-adapter transcript path cannot project the
native event records.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `67f9867bc`.

## What Changed

- Add the canonical structured-question validator and shared contract
exports.
- Materialize native input requests as existing task interactions.
- Validate native answers and deliver them through the durable
question-response receipt.
- Resume the original PRP request with an idempotent `request.resolve`
command.
- Project native messages, tool activity, cumulative usage, and final
replies into the existing transcript model.
- Propagate persisted `runtimeMode` to the task page and select native
handling only for `runtimeMode: "native"`.
- Expire pending interactions through the shared issue service on every
terminal transition, including decisions, stalled reviews, tree control,
and pipeline retry cleanup.
- Queue native run cancellation while a transaction is open and execute
it only after the owning transaction commits.
- Keep nonterminal and non-runner issue paths on their existing service
call shapes and behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed, including the
Rust runner release build and protocol/catalog drift gates.
- Focused native-thread and lifecycle suites — 18 files and 481 tests
passed during review.
- `issue-execution-policy-routes.test.ts` — 19/19 passed after the final
transactional-queue expectation update.
- `issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts` — 87/87 passed in the
final isolated compatibility rerun.
- GitHub Actions — policy, build, canary, typecheck/release registry, 5
serialized server shards, 8 general-test shards, 3 browser shards, and
both aggregate gates passed on `7793f3193`.
- Security — Snyk, Socket Project Report, Socket PR Alerts, and
Superagent passed.
- Greptile — 5/5 on `7793f3193`; all actionable review threads resolved.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
- Diff against `master`: 44 files.

## Compatibility Boundary

- Native transcript polling only runs when the persisted run reports
`runtimeMode: "native"`.
- Missing or legacy runtime modes continue through
`useLiveRunTranscripts`.
- Legacy questions keep the existing optional free-text choice.
- Native closed select sets can suppress that legacy fallback.
- Terminal cleanup uses the same issue service for native and legacy
interactions; only a bound native question schedules a native run
cancellation.
- Native cancellation happens after transaction commit, so failed or
rolled-back writes do not cancel a still-valid run.
- The durable delivery service checks the original native request before
it considers a continuation run.
- This pull request adds no migration, dependency, workflow, manifest,
or lockfile change.

## Risks

The main risk is routing a direct-adapter task through native handling
or changing terminal issue behavior. The implementation selects the
native path only from persisted runtime facts, retains the existing
nonterminal call shape, and schedules native cancellation only for a
validated bound native question after commit. Focused and
repository-wide tests cover both paths. Native requests remain bound to
the company, issue, run, and agent; answers are validated, durable, and
idempotent across reconnects.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 family. The client does not expose the exact
deployment ID or context window. Agentic reasoning, tool use, and code
execution were enabled.
