ce332ecec0 fix(execution-admission): keep admitted project sets after settlement (#18871)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - #18746 added execution-admission storage: one admission row per
attempt and one charge row per admitted project.
> - Settlement deletes every charge row. The admission row keeps only
the primary project and an opaque context revision.
> - Thus, after settlement, the complete admitted project set is lost.
> - A retained provider session still carries the references of its
previous admission. Example: a task mentions A and B, the admission
settles, and then a user removes B from the task text. The next
admission must still count B, or start a fresh context. The primary
project or the context token cannot supply B.
> - This pull request keeps the complete admitted set on the admission
row after settlement. Charge rows stay the only active capacity.
> - The benefit is that later retained-session resolution can read the
previous set. Settled history does not hold capacity or block project
deletion.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18746 (corrects its storage). Related: #2831, #14333.

**Subsystem affected**

Server execution admission (`server/src/modules/execution-admission/`)
and the `packages/db` schema.

**Problem or motivation**

`settleAdmission` deletes all charges of an admission. No other storage
records the complete project set. After settlement, the set cannot be
recovered. Current task text is not a replacement, because it can change
after admission.

**Proposed solution**

Add `execution_admissions.admitted_project_ids uuid[]`. It holds the
sorted, distinct set. It is written once at admission and a trigger
blocks changes. It has no project foreign key. `{}` is a known empty
set. Null means unknown. Only settled rows can have null. Migration
`0428` fills the set of unsettled `0426` rows from their charges,
because those charges are still complete. Settled `0426` rows stay
unknown.

**Alternatives considered**

- Keep charge rows after settlement with a `released_at` column and a
partial active index. The project foreign key would then block project
deletion permanently, or the key must be removed from active charges.
One table would also hold two different facts.
- A separate history table with one row per project. This is more rows,
joins and constraints for data that is only read as a whole set by
admission ID.
- Encode the set in `context_revision`. That token is opaque and owned
by the context owner. The database cannot validate it.
- Use `heartbeat_runs.context_snapshot`. It is mutable and is per run,
not per admission attempt.

## What Changed

- Schema and migration `0428_retained_admitted_project_sets`: add
`admitted_project_ids`, a check (null only when settled, no null
elements, at most 100 entries) and an immutability trigger. The backfill
fills unsettled rows from their charges and leaves settled rows null.
The migration is safe to run again. Migration `0426` is not changed.
- `recordAdmission` writes the set. A replay compares against the stored
set. `settleAdmission` still deletes the whole charge set in one
transaction and does not change the stored set.
- Add `readAdmittedProjects` (company-scoped, by admission ID). It
returns `known` with the set, or `unknown`.
- Add a pure `retainedSessionProjects` rule: a retained session uses
previous ∪ current. An unknown previous set returns
`fresh_context_required`. No consumer uses it yet; C1b integrates
retained sessions.
- Update `doc/DATABASE.md` and `server/src/modules/README.md`.

Not changed: no public cap writes, no claim or dispatch integration, no
session integration, no provider activation, no `serialize` → cap 1
migration. Active counts still use only the indexed charge rows.

## Verification

Red, on unchanged `master` code, with the new tests:

- `server`: `npx vitest run
src/modules/execution-admission/adapters/postgres.test.ts`. The new
tests fail. With a temporary reader that uses the only storage `master`
has (charges), the settled A+B admission reads `[]` instead of `[A, B]`.
- `packages/db`: `npx vitest run
src/execution-admission-migration.test.ts` fails, because no `0428`
migration exists.

Green, with this change:

- `server`: `npx vitest run src/modules/execution-admission`: 27 passed.
The new PostgreSQL test covers: A+B admission → settlement → set still
readable, charges and counts zero, settlement replay keeps the set, a
second attempt with a different set, primaryless and empty sets, company
isolation, rollback, immutability, the check constraint, and deletion of
a project that has only settled history (its ID stays in the set). It
also checks that a project with an active charge still cannot be
deleted.
- `packages/db`: `npx vitest run
src/execution-admission-migration.test.ts`: 2 passed. The upgrade test
starts from the shipped `0426` schema with an unsettled A+B row, an
unsettled empty row and a settled row. After the upgrade the sets are
`[A, B]`, `{}` and null. A second run of `0428` changes nothing.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` and `check:migrations`
passed. `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs` passed.
- Not run locally: the server layered typecheck. The local process was
killed for memory (a 5.8 GiB limit shared with other jobs). CI runs it.

This PR does not prove C2 claim races or C3 lifecycle authority.

## Risks

- Migration: one `ADD COLUMN`, an `UPDATE` that only touches unsettled
rows (none in production, because nothing writes admissions yet), a
check and a trigger. It does not delete or rewrite data.
- Settled rows created before `0428` stay unknown. A future consumer
must start a fresh context for them. It must not treat them as empty or
primary-only.
- The stored set has no project foreign key. Company scope is checked at
admission time, under the same project locks and the charge foreign
keys.

Size: about 70 production lines (schema 8, migration SQL 22, adapter 28,
domain 15), 105 test lines and 24 doc lines. Generated metadata
(`0428_snapshot.json`, `_journal.json`, removal of `0422_snapshot.json`
by the standard pruning) is separate.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with
tool use (shell, file edits, embedded PostgreSQL tests). Default context
window and reasoning mode.

fef86e32e9 feat(execution-admission): add project concurrency policy and admission storage (#18746)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Projects group tasks. Agents run tasks as heartbeat runs.
> - Today, workspace mode and shared-workspace flags decide whether
tasks run at the same time. A project cannot set its own limit on
concurrent task executions.
> - A correct project limit must count every project that a task uses,
including @-mentioned projects. It must also keep the count when a
project is archived or deleted, and when a run is admitted more than one
time.
> - This change cannot go into one pull request with claims and
settlement. Thus this pull request adds only the policy semantics and
the durable accounting storage that later claims will use.
> - This pull request adds a new `execution-admission` module, three
tables and the deletion guards. No route writes a cap and no claim path
enforces it.
> - The benefit is a tested storage contract (constraints, idempotency,
rollback, indexed counts, lifecycle preservation) before any behavior
changes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #2831, Refs #14333 (related agent-level and adapter-level limits;
not duplicates).

**Subsystem affected**

Server execution admission (new module
`server/src/modules/execution-admission/`) and the `packages/db` schema.

**Problem or motivation**

A project cannot limit how many of its task executions are active. The
current shared-workspace flags mix resource safety with capacity. A
future project limit needs storage that records each admission attempt
and every project that the attempt charges. Run IDs cannot be the
identity, because a run can be released before dispatch and admitted
again.

**Proposed solution**

Add a separate policy table that keeps "never configured" apart from
"explicit no limit". Add admission epochs with one charge row per
distinct project. Settlement deletes the charge set in one transaction.
Later pull requests integrate claims, settlement, waits and the public
control.

**Alternatives considered**

Columns on `projects` would leak an unenforced cap through every project
reader. A project column or a `uuid[]` on `heartbeat_runs` cannot
enforce per-project uniqueness or company scope. `budget_reservations`
has no project set. A counter would be a second source of truth.

## What Changed

- Added `project_task_execution_policies`. No row means never
configured. A null maximum means an explicit "no limit". A check accepts
only positive maximums. A composite foreign key keeps the project and
company together. The row is deleted with its project.
- Added `execution_admissions`. Each row is one admission attempt of a
run: `(run_id, attempt)` is unique, and a partial unique index allows
one unsettled attempt per run. It keeps the context revision, the
nullable primary project (provenance, no foreign key) and the settlement
identity. A check sets `settlement_id` and `settled_at` together.
- Added `execution_admission_project_charges`. It has one row per
distinct admitted project, unlimited projects included. Composite
foreign keys keep the admission and the project in one company. The
project foreign key has no cascade, so a charge cannot disappear with
its project. `(company_id, project_id)` is indexed for active counts.
- Added migration `0426_absent_guardian.sql` (renumbered from `0423`,
then `0425`, as master added `0423`–`0425`). The generated SQL was
reordered so the unique indexes exist before the composite foreign keys
that need them. Snapshots `0419` and `0420` were pruned to keep five
snapshots.
- Added the `execution-admission` module (domain → application →
adapters):
- Domain: policy patch parsing and application (omitted keeps, null
clears, partial updates keep other fields, malformed values are
rejected), canonical project-set preparation (primary ∪ references,
deduplicated, ascending, bounded with an explicit `too_many_projects`
result), and the settlement replay decision.
- Application: internal `readTaskExecutionPolicy` and
`updateTaskExecutionPolicy` commands. No route, tool, CLI or import
calls them.
- Adapter: the project-set lock (`FOR NO KEY UPDATE`, ascending, one
statement), the policy store, and the storage transitions
`recordAdmission`, `settleAdmission` and `countActiveProjectCharges`.
These transitions are not exported from the module entry point. Claims
(later) must add the capacity check and the lifecycle evidence.
- Project deletion returns `409 project_execution_admission_pending`
while the project has a charge. Agent deletion returns `409
agent_execution_admission_pending` while its runs have an unsettled
admission, and removes settled history. Company deletion calls a new
module participant before it deletes runs and projects.
- Documented the tables, the lifecycle rules and the proposed global
lock order in `doc/DATABASE.md`. Added module ownership to
`server/src/modules/README.md`.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run src/modules/execution-admission` → 2
files, 26 tests pass (the Greptile finding on an empty primary ID added
an assertion to an existing test). The adapter tests use embedded
PostgreSQL and cover:
  - policy semantics, the maximum check and the company foreign key;
- charges for every distinct project, a primaryless set and an empty set
(no rows);
- replay of one admission ID, conflict on a changed record, refusal of a
second live attempt and the partial unique index;
- settlement of the whole set once, replay, a different settlement, then
attempt 2 for the same run;
- company isolation of projects, runs and admission IDs, the
duplicate-charge key, and rollback of an aborted transaction;
- active counts per project, and an `EXPLAIN` that uses
`execution_admission_project_charges_project_idx`;
- archive keeps charges, `projectService.remove` returns 409, a direct
project delete fails on the foreign key, and delete succeeds after
settlement;
- `deleteAgentDependencies` returns 409 while unsettled, and
`deleteCompany` removes only that company's admissions.
- `cd packages/db && npx vitest run
src/execution-admission-migration.test.ts` → pass. It removes the new
tables and receipt, seeds a legacy project and run, applies pending
migrations, and compares the existing rows.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations` → pass. Five
snapshots remain (`0421`, `0422`, `0424`, `0425`, `0426`; `0423` is
SQL-only on master).
- `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs` → pass.
- `packages/db` `tsc --noEmit` → pass. A scoped `tsc` of the module
entry points and domain tests → pass.
- Existing tests for the changed deletion services → 6 files, 161 tests
pass (`resource-lifecycle-events`, `prompt-injection-prevention`,
`agent-lifecycle/lifecycle`, `case-deletion`,
`project-workspace-root-provenance`, `companies-service`).
- Not run locally: the full `server` typecheck. `tsc` and `tsgo` were
stopped by the out-of-memory killer on the 7 GB machine (exit 137, also
single-threaded). The full `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm test:run` and
`pnpm build` were not run locally; CI ran them on head `520b69d553`: all
gates pass, including Typecheck, Build and the 12 server test shards.
After merging master (`1c9ca5829f`) into head `c088729361`, the
migration check, migration upgrade test, module tests, module-boundary
check and `packages/db` typecheck were rerun locally and pass; CI is
rerunning the full suite.

## Risks

- Migration risk is low. It creates three empty tables and indexes. It
does not change existing tables or rows.
- Behavior changes only when admission rows exist. Nothing writes them
yet, so project, agent and company deletion behave as before.
- Later claim work must take the project-set lock in the documented
order. A claim that takes project locks after issue locks could deadlock
with project deletion.
- Settlement deletes charge rows, so a settled admission keeps its
primary project and context revision but not its full project set.
