Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 92a18bb0f3 perf(runner): restart the ACPX provider when a turn settles (#20190)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Runner drives Claude through the ACPX sidecar. The
sidecar's MCP endpoint lasts for the whole session, so it cannot tell
which turn sent a late tool callback.
> - Because of this, the Runner reaps the sidecar and provider of a
generation that ran a turn before it releases call-ID tombstones and
rotates receipt epochs. Today this restart runs at the start of the next
turn.
> - Every follow-up turn in a run pays that restart on its critical
path: about 1.5 s with real Claude. #20145 moves the restart to park,
but a second turn in the same run, after the first turn that follows an
attach, still restarts cold.
> - The restart does not have to wait for the next turn. When a turn
settles and the host has its terminal result, the Runner is idle.
> - This pull request restarts the provider at that point. The next
turn, or the next park, then finds a fresh generation.
> - The benefit: same-run follow-up turns start without a restart, park
does no restart after a settled turn, and the late-callback guarantee is
unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20145, which moved the restart to park. This pull request builds
on it. No public issue exists, so the problem is described here.

**Subsystem affected**

Paperclip Runner, ACPX provider (Claude).

**Current behavior**

`AcpxProviderSession::start_turn_timed` restarts the provider before any
turn whose generation already ran a turn. A follow-up turn in the same
run waits for `session.suspend`, sidecar shutdown, a new sidecar,
`initialize`, `session.open` and `run.attach` before `turn.start`. Since
#20145, park does the restart instead, but only for the first turn after
an attach.

**Proposed behavior**

When a turn settles and the controller has ACKed every committed event,
the Runner restarts the provider. The next `turn.start` uses the fresh
generation and only rotates receipts. Park reuses the fresh generation
and does no second restart.

**Reason and benefit**

The restart leaves the turn's critical path, both for same-run
follow-ups and for the turns after a park. The order of reap and
rotation stays the same, so a late callback from the reaped generation
still cannot reach a later turn.

## What Changed

- **Runner loop** (`durable/runner.rs`): new
`CommandExecutor::prepare_next_turn` hook, a no-op by default. The
runner calls it after the idle provider poll, only when no control frame
is waiting and the controller has ACKed every committed event
(`acked_source_seq >= highest_source_seq`). So the restart always runs
after the terminal result reaches the host.
- **ACPX turn-end restart** (`acpx_park_preparation.rs`,
`acpx_provider_generation.rs`):
- `restart_session_after_turn` restarts a Claude session that has a
completed turn, nothing pending, no buffered events, a dormant goal and
its whole event tail ACKed. It first settles an abandoned park
observation. If that settlement reads more events, it skips this round,
and the next idle round restarts after those events are ACKed.
- `AcpxProviderSession::restart_after_turn` does the same suspend → reap
→ start → bootstrap → identity check as the turn-start restart. It
records the reaped process id in `restarted_after_turn_from`. This field
is the explicit "fresh because of a turn-end restart" marker.
- The session does not poll a fresh generation until its next turn or
rebind, the same as a prepared one. Its startup output is published with
the next turn, as today. Polling it early would add events after the
host computed its park cut.
- **Next turn** (`acpx_provider_session.rs`): `start_turn_timed`
restarts only when the generation ran a turn. When
`restarted_after_turn_from` is set, it does the post-restart receipt and
ledger rotation without a second restart. `session.reconciled` reports
the reaped process as `previousProcessId`.
- **Park**: `prepare_next_generation` restarts (with the 20 s park
deadline) only if no turn-end restart ran. Otherwise it marks the
generation for `run.attach` rebind and returns `false`, so the runner
does not ask for a second park proof. The park-time receipt rotation
moves to the next turn start, where the turn-end path does it too.
- **Restart failure**: the executor sets the same state that a failed
turn-start restart leaves (`closed`, no session, provider exit
confirmed). The next `turn.start` fails with the same `ACPX turn start
failed closed: …` error that the turn-start restart gives today.
- **Fake sidecar**: new `pending-input` fault, which opens an input
request in a turn that then completes.

### Races

| Race | Handling |
| --- | --- |
| A turn or steer arrives during the turn-end restart | The runner loop
is single-threaded. The command waits in the socket until the restart
returns, then starts on the fresh generation without a restart. Only one
generation is live. |
| A turn arrives before the hook runs (for example, in the same read as
the ACK) | Control frames go first, so the turn restarts at its start,
as today. The hook then restarts after that turn. |
| Park arrives during the turn-end restart | Host control is read at the
top of the loop, so park waits. Park then reuses the fresh generation.
No event is published in between, so the host's park cut still matches.
|
| Park arrives before the hook runs | Park restarts with the 20 s
deadline, as in #20145. The hook then finds a fresh generation and does
nothing. |
| Eviction, `runner.suspend` or retire after the restart | They reap the
fresh generation through the ordinary paths. |
| The restart fails | The session is `closed`. The next turn fails with
the same error and the same durable state as a failed turn-start
restart. Park returns conflict, as it does for a closed session today. |
| Cancellation | `run.cancel`, `turn.interrupt` and `turn.stop` after
the restart return `already_settled`, as after any settled turn. A
cancellation that retires the runtime closes the session, so no restart
runs. |
| Interrupted, cancelled or failed turn | `completed_turn_observed` is
false, so no turn-end restart runs. The next turn restarts at its start,
as today. |
| Pending permission or input requests at the terminal | The reducer
ends them at the terminal, so the restart runs. A later
`request.resolve` fails with `no active turn`, with or without the
restart. |
| Active session goal at the terminal | No restart, because the goal can
keep working after its prompt. |

### Removed as redundant, and what stays

- **Removed:** the park-time restart and dormant verify when a turn-end
restart already made the generation fresh. The runner's
`host_park_ready` proves dormancy just before `prepare_for_park`, and
nothing runs in between.
- **Removed:** the runner's second park proof in that case, because the
provider did not change.
- **Removed:** the park-time receipt and ledger rotation. The next turn
start does it once, for both paths.
- **Kept: the turn-start restart.** Without it, a turn queued before the
hook, a turn after an interrupted or cancelled turn, a turn after an
active goal, and any non-Claude ACPX turn would run in the generation
that ran the previous turn. Tests cover the queued-turn and interrupted
cases.
- **Kept: the park-time restart.** Without it, a park that arrives
before the hook would leave the next run to restart at attach. A test
covers this.
- **Kept: the settlement of an abandoned park observation.** Without it,
the restart drops events that the old generation sent before the
abandoned response. A test covers this, and it fails with the settlement
removed.
- **Kept: the goal-dormancy check.** Without it, the restart kills an
active goal's autonomous work. A test covers this, and it fails with the
check removed.
- **Kept: the ACK gate.** Without it, the restart can run before the
host has the terminal result. A runner test covers this.
- **Kept: deferred polling of the fresh generation.** Without it, its
startup event lands after the host computed its park cut, and the park
conflicts.
- **Kept: the kept failure message.** Without it, the next turn fails
with `ACPX session is not open`, and the restart error is lost.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib` and every
`tests/acpx_*.rs`, `native_provider_backend` and `durable_recovery`
suite: all pass (debug).
- New tests (`tests/support/acpx_turn_end_restart.rs`, run from
`acpx_park_preparation`) prove these points:
- A settled turn reaps the old pid before it spawns the new one, and no
predecessor is still live. A same-run follow-up then sends only
`turn.start` and reports the reaped pid in `session.reconciled`.
- Park after a turn-end restart sends no sidecar command and returns
`false`. Attach rebinds the same pid. The run's second turn restarts at
its end, and the third turn starts without a restart.
  - The reaped generation's late callback never reaches the next turn.
- A turn that arrives before the hook restarts at its start. A park
before the hook restarts once.
- A failed turn-end restart gives the same next-turn error, retry error,
durable state and process count as a failed turn-start restart.
- Cancellation after the restart is `already_settled`. `runner.suspend`
reaps the fresh generation.
- An active goal skips the restart. An input request open at the
terminal behaves the same with or without the restart.
- `acpx_provider_turns`: a session-level turn-end restart drops the old
generation's late `issues.delete` callback, which reuses the previous
turn's call ID. The next turn then admits that call ID from the fresh
provider. Interrupted and retired turns do not restart at turn end.
- `acpx_park_readiness`: a turn-end-restarted generation is park-ready.
An abandoned park observation tail is delivered before the restart.
- `durable::runner`: the hook runs only after the terminal is ACKed and
when control is idle. It never runs during ACK debt, a waiting control
frame or a disconnect.
- Server integration tests (`plugin-runner-release-resume`,
`plugin-runner-eviction` and `plugin-runner-task-warm`) with this
branch's Runner: 49 passed. The provider process counts do not change:
each released run still adds one process start, now at turn end instead
of at park.
- `cargo fmt --check`: clean.
- Fake-sidecar timing (release build, 7 runs, medians):

  | | before (`master` with #20145) | this PR |
  | --- | --- | --- |
| same-run follow-up `turn.start` → `turn.started` | 51.5 ms | 22.0 ms |
| second turn after an attach, `turn.start` → `turn.started` | 270.3 ms
| 23.5 ms |
  | turn-end restart, after the terminal is ACKed | — | 29.0 ms |
  | park preparation after a settled turn | 34.1 ms | 0.03 ms |

- Real Claude: not run for this pull request. With real Claude, the
restart took about 1.5 s on the turn-start path, and this change takes
it off that path. That number is not measured on this branch.

## Risks

- A run that ends after one turn without a park now starts one extra
sidecar that no turn uses. The Claude CLI itself starts only at the
first prompt, so the cost is the sidecar's start and bootstrap.
- The restart blocks the Runner loop for its length (about 1.5 s with
real Claude), as the turn-start restart does today. It has no deadline,
as before. A park that arrives during it waits, inside the host's 30 s
park wait.
- The fresh generation is not polled until its next turn. If it exits
while idle, the next turn finds out at `turn.start` and fails closed.
Park finds out at its observation.
- The turn-end restart is for Claude only, the same as park preparation.
Other ACPX agents keep restarting at turn start.
- If the Runner crashes during the restart, the durable state still says
`session_open`. Recovery is the same as for a crash while idle.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 2d93413085 perf(runner): prepare the next Claude provider generation at park (#20145)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip runs agents through Paperclip Runner, and a host can park
an idle Runner between runs and resume it for the next run on the same
task.
> - For Claude (ACPX), a follow-up run on a parked Runner pays about
1.5–2.3 s at `run.attach` before the provider can start the turn. The
attachment closes the Claude sidecar and spawns a new one: initialize,
`session.open` with `session/load`, `run.attach`, then a dormant verify.
> - The respawn is required. The tool-bridge MCP endpoint lasts for the
whole session and can't tell which turn a late callback came from, so a
new turn must not run in a process that ran an earlier one.
> - Nothing requires the respawn to happen at the *start* of the next
run. A turn that ends 2 s later is a better experience than one that
starts 2 s later.
> - This pull request does the respawn while parking. The next run's
`run.attach` then only rebinds the run id on a fresh, never-used
generation.
> - Follow-up Claude runs on a parked Runner reach the provider about
1.5–2 s sooner, and the late-callback guarantees are unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. The issue is described inline.

### What happened?

On a hosted deployment with parked Runners, Claude follow-up runs
reached the provider about 1.8 s later than Codex follow-ups.
`runner.session.resume` medians were 5.2 s for Claude and 3.4 s for
Codex. The extra time is the ACPX respawn inside `run.attach`. Codex
keeps its process in place.

### Expected behavior

The respawn happens while the Runner parks, so the next run starts on a
prepared generation.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Run a Claude (ACPX) task on a host that parks Runners between runs.
2. Let the run finish and the Runner park.
3. Send a follow-up. `run.attach` closes the provider and starts,
initializes, opens and attaches a new sidecar before `turn.start`. The
Claude CLI itself starts at the first prompt on either path.

### Paperclip version or commit

`master` at e194e193.

### Deployment mode

Hosted, with parked Runner tasks.

## What Changed

- **`durable/runner.rs`:**
- New `CommandExecutor::prepare_for_park(deadline)` hook, a no-op by
default. The runner passes a deadline 20 s after the park request; the
host waits 30 s for the reply.
- The Park host-control arm calls it after `host_park_ready()`,
re-proves readiness, and only then replies `parked`.
- A failure records a diagnostic and replies `conflict`, the existing
park-failure path.
- **ACPX, park side** (`acpx_park_preparation.rs`,
`acpx_provider_generation.rs`):
- For Claude, with the session open, nothing pending and nothing queued:
reap the old generation, using the same suspend-and-reap sequence a
second turn uses.
- Start the replacement with the current run attached, and prove it
dormant.
  - Roll the tool receipt epochs and the turn-identity ledger over.
- Record a digest of the session configuration it was opened with,
ignoring the MCP binding id and the aggregate digest.
- Every sidecar request during preparation is capped at the park
deadline. Running out of time fails like any other preparation failure.
- **ACPX, attach side:**
- A prepared, never-used generation whose digest matches the next run is
rebound: the sidecar gets `run.attach` with the new run id, the reducer
and tool bridges are reset, and the snapshot is checked for the new run
id.
- Anything else takes today's cold path: a different tool set, skill,
prompt or launch; a buffered callback; or any rebind error.
- **ACPX, turn start:** the provider restarts when its generation has
run a turn, instead of when the run has settled turns.
`has_settled_turns` is removed.
- **ACPX, polling:** polling skips a prepared generation until it is
rebound or starts a turn, so nothing it emits is attributed to the
parked run.
- **Sidecar** (`acpx-runtime-sidecar.ts`): rejects `run.attach` once a
turn has started in that process.
- **Fake sidecar:** reports live predecessors at process start, and adds
the faults `reject-open`, `late-tool-after-suspend` and `pre-turn-tool`.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core`: 1029 passed (debug).
  - New `tests/acpx_park_preparation.rs` (10 tests). These prove:
- park reaps the old pid before spawning the new one, and acks only
after the dormant verify;
- a late callback from the old generation after park is rejected, and so
is a pre-turn call from the new generation;
- a compatible attach keeps the pid, and the sidecar and snapshot carry
the new run id;
- changed instructions, tools, skills or runtime context take the cold
path;
    - a used generation is never rebound;
- a prepare failure produces a park conflict and a recoverable state;
    - Retire works after a prepared park;
- a replacement whose `session.open` stalls fails at the park deadline,
leaves the session suspended, and the next run attaches and completes a
turn.
- `cargo fmt --check` and `cargo check --workspace --locked`: clean.
- `vitest` `acpx-runtime-sidecar.test.ts` and
`acpx-sidecar-input.test.ts`: 126 passed. The new re-attach guard test
fails if the guard is removed.
- `vitest` `plugin-runner-release-resume.integration.test.ts` and
`plugin-runner-eviction.integration.test.ts` with the branch's Runner:
48 passed. Both now expect the provider process to be replaced at park
instead of at attach.
- Fake-sidecar timing (release build, 3 runs): `run.attach` took 230–260
ms cold and 40–80 ms after a prepared park.
- Real Claude (claude-agent-acp 0.73.0, release build on a hosted test
VM, 3 runs each way plus one with a 180 s cgroup freeze between park and
attach):

  | | before | this PR |
  |---|---|---|
  | `run.attach` | 1691 ms mean | 212 ms mean |
| `run.attach` start → follow-up `turn.started` | 2565 ms mean | 1065 ms
mean |
  | `turn.start` → first provider output | 2261 ms mean | 2232 ms mean |
  | park preparation added to park | — | about 1450 ms |

Session recall, an authorized tool call after the rebind, and the
absence of any tool call or event from the old run all passed in every
run, including after the freeze. The prepared generation holds only the
sidecar: the Claude CLI starts at the follow-up prompt on both paths, so
a parked Runner also holds one node process instead of the whole Claude
tree.
- Hit rate: on a hosted test deployment, all 15 consecutive Claude runs
across two tasks carried identical content-addressed instruction and
skill bundle paths, so the prepared digest would have matched.
- Not run: the hosted park, claim and attach loop with real Claude, a
native MCP binding or skills with real Claude, `cargo test --release`,
smoke tests.
- Pre-existing flake:
`unconfirmed_suspension_state_becomes_recoverable_only_after_cleanup_and_suspend`
fails intermittently on clean `master` when the `hosted acpx durable::`
subset runs in parallel. It passed in both full runs.

## Risks

- **Park takes about 1.5 s longer** before it replies with real Claude.
Preparation is capped at 20 s; the host's park wait is 30 s.
- **Configuration changes:** a change between park and the next run
(registered asset paths, tools, prompt) takes the cold path. That's
safe, but saves nothing.
- **Stale environment:** a prepared process was opened with the previous
run's environment and disk state. If credential or configuration files
change on disk while the Runner is parked, the prepared process won't
see them, whereas the cold path would.
- **Failed prepare:** a park that fails after the reap leaves no live
provider. The next turn or `run.attach` starts Claude cold, as today.
- **Scope:** only ACPX Claude prepares. Other providers park exactly as
before.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, git, GitHub CLI) and subagents.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 412d49e48d fix(runner): resume an ACPX turn interrupted by a deploy instead of refusing the launch digest (#20112)
## Thinking Path

- The rule for upgrade-safe saved state: work saved by the old build
must resume under the new build.
- The K14 upgrade-mid-run chaos wave (`838e9bf3d2` → `f789f3e2af`) broke
that rule for Claude. The same heartbeat run resumed after the upgrade
restart, and the runner's resume probe (`runner.drain`) failed with
`ACPX durable launch profile digest does not match runner startup`
(`provider_state_incompatible`). t03 and t04's Claude subtask both
needed a board Retry. Codex crossed the upgrade cleanly.
- The ACPX launch profile digest covers the provider-pack authority and
the sidecar artifact hashes, so every deploy changes it.
- #18879 already re-binds a suspended session to the new digest. A
deploy that restarts the runner mid-turn leaves the same run with an
active turn, or with an open session, which is the state a same-build
lost-turn restore leaves behind. Neither was re-bound.
- A same-build restart already recovers both states safely: it reopens
an open session, and recovers an active turn through
`restore_conversation_after_lost_turn`, which is guarded by the
provider-lifetime fence. An upgraded build should take the same path.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18879

**What happened?**
A deploy restarted the runner while a Claude (ACPX) task was mid-run.
When the same run resumed under the new build, restore refused the saved
state with `provider_state_incompatible`. The task stopped and needed a
manual Retry, which started a fresh provider session and dropped the
conversation.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a Claude task on build A and let it reach an active turn.
2. Upgrade to build B, which ships a new provider pack or sidecar build,
with a graceful restart while the turn runs.
3. The same run's resume fails with `ACPX durable launch profile digest
does not match runner startup`.

**Expected behavior**
The resumed run recovers exactly as it would after a same-build restart.
The conversation is restored, or the lost turn is closed through the
normal recovery path, with no Retry.

## What Changed

-
`packages/paperclip-runner/runner/crates/runner-core/src/acpx_provider_backend.rs`:
- `rebinds_settled_session` now also re-binds the saved digest for an
**interrupted turn or open session of the same heartbeat run**
(`rebinds_interrupted_turn`).
- The re-bind requires exactly the same-build recovery preconditions: no
accepted semantic result, no pending runtime request, no unconfirmed
provider exit, and a dormant goal. It also keeps the existing
requirements: no candidate admission, and the same sidecar command and
arguments.
- Recovery then runs unchanged. The provider-lifetime fence still
decides whether the conversation is restored or the lost turn is closed.
- **Relocated installs:** an upgrade can install the same launch files
under a new directory, as an `npx` versioned cache, a new image layout
or a new checkout does. The K14 harness moves between worktrees. The
re-bind now accepts a launch of the same shape: the same executable and
sidecar file names, and identical non-path arguments. It then records
this startup's runner-owned paths in the saved descriptor. A renamed
executable or a changed argument stays strict.
- An active turn or open session saved by a *different* run stays
strict, as before. So do suspended sessions with undelivered events, and
every qualified-release binding (ACPX, agent server and command digest).
- Tests (Rust, `acpx_provider_backend`):
-
`interrupted_turn_of_the_same_run_rebinds_to_the_upgraded_runner_launch_profile`:
red on master. An old-digest saved state with an active turn restores,
the digest is re-bound, and identity and command digest are kept.
-
`open_session_of_the_same_run_rebinds_to_the_upgraded_runner_launch_profile`:
restore gets past the saved-state check, to provider start.
- `saved_sessions_rebind_to_an_upgraded_build_installed_at_a_new_path`:
red on master and on the first fix, with the production error. It covers
an interrupted turn of the same run and a settled session attached by
the next run, both moved to a new install directory.
-
`interrupted_turn_after_upgrade_stays_strict_when_lost_turn_recovery_is_unsafe`:
each unsafe guard still fails with `provider_state_incompatible` and
leaves the saved state untouched.
- The existing strict tests for other runs are unchanged and still pass.
- `packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md`: documents the
extended re-bind.
- `tests/acpx_warm_attachment.rs`: the end-to-end test
`restores_a_turn_lost_to_a_runner_upgrade_under_the_new_launch_profile`,
from the Phase 2 session's parallel fix. It fails on master with the
production error and passes here.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib acpx_provider_backend`: 44
passed.
- The full `paperclip-runner-core` lib suite: 585 passed. The 3 failures
are timing-based `task_memory` kill-monitor tests on macOS; that file is
untouched (last changed 5 days ago). CI runs them on Linux.
- `cargo fmt --check`: clean.
- Live: the first K14 rerun, at 070365404e, still failed for 3 Claude
runs. The cause was the install path: the saved sidecar path pointed
into the old build's worktree. Fixed in 72e020e13b; a second K14 rerun
has been requested.

## Risks

- **The restored conversation runs on the new provider pack.** That is
already the case for re-bound suspended sessions. Session start still
verifies every artifact and the restored provider identity against the
qualified command digest. A changed upstream release still fails strict.
- **Old provider process.** For an active turn, lost-turn recovery waits
for the provider-lifetime fence before restoring. For an open session,
behavior matches the same-build restart, which reopens without the
fence.
- **A state that really is incompatible** (an upstream provider release
change):
- **Between turns**, the common upgrade case: the next run's checkpoint
carries `allow_replacement_after_resume_failure`, so the refusal opens a
fresh provider session automatically, with no Retry. A new test,
`continues in a fresh session when a new run's saved session is
incompatible…`, pins this in `native-session-runtime.test.ts`.
- **Mid-turn, same run:** this still stops for a board Retry, by design.
The effects of the lost turn are unknown, and the automatic replacement
sweep (`decideNativeReplacement`) only replaces a session when it has a
complete effect inventory.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 a8bbdf237c fix(runner): reopen the ACPX session at turn.start when it can be safely reopened (#20110)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native Claude ACPX run must survive restarts and suspensions. A
turn stopped for suspension drops the live ACPX session and leaves the
saved lifecycle `prepared`
> - The next `turn.start` checked for a live session before anything
else, so it failed with "ACPX session is not open". That happened even
though the saved session was safe to reopen
> - In restart chaos this made a Claude approval task (G1 t03) need a
Retry after repeated restores
> - This pull request makes `turn.start` reopen a reopenable session
before it starts the turn
> - The benefit is that a suspended or restored Claude run keeps going
on its own, with no Retry

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20089

**What happened?**
In a local restart-chaos G1 (approval) wave, Claude ACPX task t03 failed
after repeated restores with `ACPX session is not open` and needed a
Retry. The Retry overwrote the session directory, so the exact sequence
could not be read back. The same error reproduces directly with
`turn.stop` (suspension) followed by `turn.start` on the same session:
the stop clears the live session and sets the lifecycle to `prepared`,
and `turn.start` never reopens it.

**Expected behavior**
When the saved session can be reopened, `turn.start` reopens it, the
same way `session.open` does, and then starts the turn. "Can be
reopened" means: the conversation identity is recorded, the provider
exit is confirmed, the session belongs to this run, and the lifecycle is
`prepared`, `suspended` or `session_open`. A session that was closed on
purpose, or whose provider exit is unconfirmed, still fails.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. `run.prepare`, `session.open`, then `turn.start`.
2. `turn.stop` (suspension stop).
3. `turn.start` again. Before this change, it fails with "ACPX session
is not open".

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at f789f3e2af. Branch rebased on current master.

## What Changed

- `acpx_provider_backend.rs`: `turn.start` checks whether there is no
live session and the saved state is reopenable. If so, it reopens
through `open_session` first, and the reopen's `session.resumed` event
comes before the turn's events. The previous body moved unchanged into
`start_turn_in_open_session`.
- `tests/acpx_warm_attachment.rs`: a new test,
`reopens_the_conversation_for_a_turn_after_a_suspension_stop`. It drives
prepare, open, turn, stop, turn and expects the second turn to be
accepted with `session.resumed`. It also checks that after
`session.close`, `turn.start` still fails.

## Verification

- Red/green: the new test fails on master with "ACPX session is not
open" and passes with the change. `cargo test -p runner-core --test
acpx_warm_attachment`: 3/3 passed.
- I also ran the full `runner-core` crate suite. Five tests failed: four
`task_memory` monitor tests and `unconfirmed_suspension_state...`. Each
of them passes on an unchanged master checkout, and the ACPX one also
passes when rerun in this branch, so they are timing-dependent and not
caused by this change.

## Risks

- Low risk. A reopen happens only under the same conditions in which
`session.open` would already succeed for this run. A closed session and
an unconfirmed provider exit stay fail-closed. The order of events
changes only by adding `session.resumed` ahead of the turn's events.

## Model Used

(shell, file edits, test execution).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c55af26821 fix(runner): treat a replayed start of a turn lost on restore as history (t48) (#20074)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native Codex run must survive a control-plane restart and continue
its work
> - #20057 made recovery adopt an in-flight turn, or start a new turn
when the restored runner reports the old turn lost
> - One case was not covered. A graceful drain can detach the controller
after the runner accepted `turn.start` but before the provider started
the turn
> - The runner then records the provider's `turn.started` while no
controller is attached. After a restart it replays that start, and the
Codex session rejects it as an unexpected turn
> - This pull request treats that replayed start as history from the
earlier generation
> - The benefit is that the run starts its continuation turn instead of
stopping with `native_event_replay_conflict`

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #20057

**What happened?**
A restart chaos wave ended with one failed task (t48, Codex). A graceful
SIGTERM suspended the controller 300 ms after the runner accepted
`turn.start`. The provider's `turn.started` came after the controller
detached. Recovery classified the run as `resume_dead_runner`. The
restored runner reported the turn as `provider_turn_lost_on_restore`,
which is correct. But it also replayed the undelivered `turn.started`.
The Codex session failed with "Provider started an unexpected turn."
(`turn_binding_mismatch`), and recovery stopped with
`native_event_replay_conflict`.

**Expected behavior**
Recovery starts a new continuation turn. The replayed start of the lost
turn is recorded as history, and the run completes.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a Codex native run.
2. Detach the controller gracefully after the runner accepts
`turn.start` and before the provider emits `turn/started`.
3. Let the runner record `turn.started` while it is unattached, then
kill the runner and the provider.
4. Restore the run. Before this change, the session fails with
`turn_binding_mismatch`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at a9cf4ee731 (the wave ran on 66a2cbab98).

## What Changed

- `codex-app-server-driver-impl.ts`: recovery identifies the turn that
this run's latest `turn.start` had the runner accept, when recovery did
not adopt it and provider history does not show it live. Recovery passes
it to the session as `lostAcceptedTurnId`.
- `codex-session-state.ts`: the session keeps `lostAcceptedTurnId` as an
unconfirmed lost turn. The stale-event rule treats its replayed start
and items as history.
- `codex-session-notifications.ts`: `turn/started` applies the
stale-event rule to earlier-generation and unconfirmed lost turns. The
runner's restart-loss terminal confirms the lost turn. Any other
terminal, or a semantic result, from that turn fails closed, so a real
outcome is never dropped. A start for a turn that this generation
settled, or for a turn the session never saw, still fails closed.
- `runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts`: a new connected test with the
real runner and the fake Codex server reproduces the t48 shape. A new
fake option, `--turn-started-gate`, holds the provider's start until the
test detaches the controller, so the test does not depend on timing.
- `codex-app-server-driver.terminal-replay.test.ts`: driver tests for
the replayed start (history), and for an ordinary failure or a result
from the lost turn (fail closed).

## Verification

- Red: before the fix, the new test failed with
`NativeProviderTerminalFailure: Provider started an unexpected turn.` at
`codex-harness-session.ts:211`. This is the same error and stack as the
chaos run.
- Green: `npx vitest run src/drivers/codex
src/live/runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts` (in
`packages/paperclip-runner`) passed 392 of 392.
- The wider Codex, restart and recovery test files (45 files, 1153
tests) passed on the final revision. The two fail-closed driver tests
fail on the first revision, where the lost turn's outcome was dropped as
history. The one failure in an earlier run ("still rejects history for a
turn that became terminal in the live session") showed that the first
version was too broad. The rule now applies only to earlier-generation
turns, and that test passes.
- `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1 pnpm typecheck` in
`packages/paperclip-runner` passed.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change only applies after a restore, to a turn that the
runner accepted for this run's latest `turn.start`, and only when
recovery did not adopt that turn and provider history does not show it
in progress.
- A turn that the session never saw still fails closed. A re-start of a
turn this generation settled still fails closed. A real failure or a
result from the lost turn fails closed instead of being dropped.

(shell, file edits, test execution).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c0c26188db fix(runner): stamp event generations and record an earlier generation's events as history (#19960)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs execute through the Paperclip Runner, which turns
provider output (Codex, OpenCode, Claude through ACPX) into durable
runner events
> - In the restart chaos campaign, events from an earlier turn or runner
generation failed the current turn about ten times (RC-15, 20, 20b, 20c,
33, 33b, 59 and 61)
> - #19718, #19722, #19772 and #19783 each special-cased one variant,
and other variants still fail the run
> - The durable-ownership plan (section G, invariant 6) asks for one
rule: every event carries its generation and turn, and an earlier
generation's events are recorded as history and never fail the current
turn
> - This pull request stamps the runner generation on every event and
applies one stale-event rule in the ACPX provider state, the Codex
driver (which Runnerd also uses for OpenCode) and the pending
`turn.start` check
> - The benefit is that a late report about a settled or restored turn
no longer stops a healthy turn, while events for a turn the runner never
saw still fail closed

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19718, #19722, #19772, #19783

**What happened?**
A runner or provider can report a turn after that turn settled: a
resumed provider reports the lost turn's usage or terminal, an ACPX
sidecar emits a last delta after the turn terminal, or a held failure of
the previous turn sits in front of a new `turn.start`. Several of these
paths fail the current turn: ACPX `AcpxEventScope` rejects any event for
a non-active turn ("named a stale turn"), the Codex driver fails
`turn_binding_mismatch` for a settled turn's late item between turns,
and `runnerdPendingTurnStartFailure` reports any held non-recoverable
failure, whatever turn it names. Runner events carried no generation.

**Expected behavior**
An event for a turn that is not active, and that an earlier generation
accepted or this generation already settled, is recorded as history and
never fails the current turn. An event for a turn the runner never saw
still fails closed.

**Steps to reproduce**
ACPX: settle turn 1, start turn 2, and deliver a late `runtime.event`
for turn 1. Before this change, the provider state returns an error and
the run fails.

## What Changed

- Runner (`durable/state.rs`, `durable/runner.rs`): every event payload
carries `generation`, the runner process generation that emitted it. A
runner process that recovers state starts the next generation
(`begin_recovered_generation`); it is saved with the next normal write,
so recovery adds no write before the first turn. Loading stays pure. Old
saved state loads as generation 0. Outbox events keep their original
generation.
- PRP event schemas v1–v3 declare the optional `generation` property;
generated validators and the manifest are regenerated.
- ACPX (`acpx_event_scope.rs`, `acpx_provider_state.rs`): an event that
names a settled turn of this run becomes a bounded
`stale_generation_event` diagnostic (32 per state) and changes no state.
Unknown turns still fail.
- Codex driver (`codex-session-state.ts`,
`codex-session-notifications.ts`): one predicate, `isHistoryTurn()`: the
turn is not active, and it was restored from the checkpoint (an earlier
generation) or settled in this generation. The classifier's stale-turn
branch, the resume-usage branch, restored-terminal replay and the main
fail point (`notificationNamesActiveTurn`) all use it. A terminal for an
earlier generation's turn is history even when it disagrees with the
checkpoint. A terminal that contradicts a turn this same generation
settled is still a `conflicting_turn_terminal` integrity failure, and a
provider that starts a settled turn again is still rejected.
- Transport (`runnerd-codex-transport.ts`): a pending `turn.start`
ignores a held failure that names another provider turn.
- `DURABLE_TRANSPORT.md` documents the stamp and the rule.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core`: new
`records_late_events_for_a_settled_turn_as_history` (red before),
`stamps_every_event_with_the_runner_process_generation`; two existing
ACPX tests now assert "recorded as history, no state change" instead of
"rejected". Durable tests: 112 passed. `cargo fmt` clean.
- `codex-app-server-driver.stale-generation.test.ts` (new, 9 tests):
late item, delta, terminal and workspace change for a settled turn
during and before the next turn, an earlier generation's conflicting
terminal after recovery, and an unknown turn that still fails. Red on
master: 8 of 9 (the during-turn cases on master already dropped the
event, with a different diagnostic; the between-turn and recovery cases
failed the session).
- `runnerd-pending-turn-start-failure.test.ts` (new): an earlier turn's
held failure no longer fails the pending start; the pending turn's own
failure and a failed run terminal still do.
- `vitest run src/drivers/codex src/live/runnerd-codex-transport`: 787
passed; 2 Codex executable-resolution tests timed out under host load
and pass when run alone.
- `tsc -p tsconfig.json` for the runner package, `check:protocol-types`,
`check:replay-goldens`: clean.
- Not run: chaos waves (the coordinator schedules them on this host).

## Risks

- A late report about a settled turn is now dropped with a diagnostic
instead of failing. A provider that keeps working on a settled turn
could have its output ignored silently; a provider that starts a settled
turn again, or names a turn the runner never saw, still fails closed.
- `generation` is a new optional field. Consumers that do not know it
ignore it, as the PRP contract requires.
- The generation counter is written with the next normal state save, so
there is no new write before `turn.start`.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 fda58d8cc1 fix(chat): post the complete final reply, not a 4,000-character run-log preview (#19971)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People talk to agents in chat. The agent's final message becomes the
chat reply.
> - The runner cuts every completed agent message to a 4,000-character
run-log preview. The server then posts that preview as the reply.
> - A long answer, for example a list of 501 open tasks, reaches the
person cut off with "…[truncated]".
> - PR #19959 fixed only the case where the accepted summary starts with
the exact preview text. It missed runs where the final prose differs
from the summary.
> - This pull request keeps the complete final answer in the runner, and
makes the server never prefer a preview over a complete source.
> - The benefit is that the person receives the agent's complete reply.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Supersedes #19959.

**What happened**

A chat agent wrote a final answer of about 4,985 characters (all 501
tasks). The posted chat reply was a 4,000-character preview that ended
with "…[truncated]".

**Expected behavior**

The person receives the agent's complete final message. A preview of a
message is never posted when a complete text exists.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Ask a chat agent (OpenCode or Codex) to list a large set of open
work, so that its final answer is longer than 4,000 characters.
2. Let the run finish.
3. Read the chat reply. It ends with "…[truncated]" at 4,000 characters.

Root cause:

-
`packages/paperclip-runner/runner/crates/runner-core/src/provider_events.rs`:
the codex/OpenCode facade projection of `item/completed` and the ACPX
`AssistantMessage` projection cut the final answer with
`bounded_text(text, MAX_TEXT_CHARS)` (4,000 characters).
- `durable/state.rs` `sanitize_value` caps every string again at 4,096
bytes before the event goes to the server.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat-run-summary.ts`
`resolveHeartbeatRunResponse` gives an explicit `final` agent message
top precedence, so it posts the preview.

## What Changed

- Runner (`provider_events.rs`): a completed `final_answer` agent
message keeps its complete redacted text, up to a new 32,000-character
`MAX_FINAL_AGENT_MESSAGE_CHARS` bound. Progress prose and in-flight
items keep the 4,000-character preview.
- Runner (`durable/state.rs`): `preserve_final_agent_message_text` keeps
the complete redacted text of a completed final agent message when it
fits in half of the transport frame. Otherwise the marked preview stays,
so a large message never fails the frame check.
- Server (`heartbeat-run-summary.ts`):
`readCompletedAssistantMessageCandidate` marks a stored preview as
`bounded`. The resolver never posts a bounded preview while a complete
source exists. It posts a marked adapter final response or the accepted
semantic summary instead
(`bounded_final_agent_message_replaced_by_semantic_summary`). It posts
the marked preview only when no complete text exists
(`bounded_final_agent_message_without_complete_source`). This also fixes
replies from runners that are already deployed.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-run-summary.test.ts`: 86 passed. Six new tests:
a complete final message longer than 4,000 characters is posted in full;
the old exact-prefix case posts the complete accepted answer; a preview
whose prose differs from the summary posts the complete summary (also
with chat precedence); a marked adapter final response wins over a
preview; the marked preview is posted only when nothing complete exists;
a stored preview candidate is marked `bounded`. Five of the six fail
against the `master` resolver.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib -- final_answer
complete_final`: 3 passed. Both new runner tests fail when the fix is
reverted.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib`: 581 passed, 3 failed. The
failures are `task_memory::tests::monitor_*` (OOM-kill monitor timing
tests). They do not touch the changed code.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --test acpx_event_projection
--test acpx_rich_events --test local_integrity_boundary_golden --test
acpx_provider_events`: all passed. `cargo fmt --check` passes.
- Evidence from the failed eval run: the `item.completed` final
`agentMessage` text was exactly 4,000 characters (3,988 retained plus
the marker). The `run.result.proposed` summary was complete at 4,985
characters.

## Risks

- Larger durable events: a final answer can now be up to 32,000
characters (at most about 128 KB). The outbox keeps the preview when the
text exceeds half of the frame size, so the frame check does not fail.
- Redaction stays the same. The complete text goes through
`redact_sensitive_text_values`, which the preview also used.
- The server treats any final message that ends with "…[truncated]" as a
preview. If an agent writes that text itself, the server posts the
complete accepted summary instead. That summary is also the agent's own
complete answer.
- The runner part reaches users only after a runner release. The server
part fixes replies at once when an accepted summary exists.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 f755361ffe fix(recovery): deliver a steered message the restart lost before the model read it (#19962)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A user can steer a running Codex or Pi turn: a comment goes into the
live turn instead of waiting for the next run

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A comment steered into a running Codex turn got no reply when a
control-plane restart (SIGKILL, SIGTERM or crash loop) happened during
the agent's tool call. The run succeeded, and the steered comment had no
effect.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a Codex task that runs a 40-second command.
2. During the command, post a comment and click Steer. The provider
acknowledges it.
3. Restart the control plane before the command ends.
4. Recovery resumes the turn with a continuation. The agent finishes the
task and ignores the comment.

**Expected behavior**
The agent reads and handles the steered comment once, after recovery.

**Root cause**
The provider keeps acknowledged steering input in memory until its next
model step. The restart continuation
(`paperclip.native-continuation.v1`) only told the model to continue the
current request, so the acknowledged input was gone.

## What Changed

- `unreadSteeredMessageIds` (runner package): derives
acknowledged-but-unread steers from run-log events in order. A
`steering_acknowledgement` item adds the message id (once per id). A
`userMessage` item in the same turn reads the oldest unread steer. Codex
records each steered input as one `userMessage` item when it enters the
conversation. A `userMessage` item in a later turn reads all earlier
steers, because the continuation carries them. `turn.completed` reads
all steers.
- `readUnreadSteeredMessages` (server): reads those facts from
`heartbeat_run_events` (only transport-validated events with a
`sourceEventId`). It also reads the comment or interaction text for the
same company and issue. The run log is the durable record of both
"acknowledged" and "read", so no new column is needed.
- The restart continuation now includes `steeredMessages` and one
instruction to handle them, oldest first. The runtime reads them through
a lazy `getUnreadSteeredMessages` option, only when a restart
continuation starts. Native recovery wires it for every run.
- `queuedInteractionSteeringBody` is extracted, so recovery rebuilds a
steered interaction response with the same text the steer sent.
- Fake Codex gets `--consume-steer`, which emits the `userMessage` item
for an accepted steer, like real Codex.

## Verification

- Red/green live test with real runnerd and fake Codex
(`runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts`, "delivers a steered message the
restart lost exactly once"): start a held turn, steer it, SIGKILL runner
and provider, restore and recover.
- "unread": the continuation carries the message exactly once. Without
the runtime change this test fails.
- "read" (`--consume-steer`): the continuation does not carry it again.
- Both: after the continuation completes, a later restart has nothing to
deliver.
- `steering-delivery.test.ts`: ordering, dedupe, initial-input,
later-turn and completed-turn rules.
- `unread-steered-messages.test.ts` (embedded Postgres): ignores events
without a source id and messages from other issues. It reads interaction
text, ignores model-output items as read evidence, and returns nothing
after the continuation input.
- `pnpm vitest run src/steering-delivery.test.ts
src/live/runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts` (runner) and `pnpm vitest
run src/services/native-runtime/unread-steered-messages.test.ts`
(server): pass on the rebased revision.
- `issue-queued-comments-routes.test.ts` and
`native-session-runtime.test.ts -t restart`: pass.
`native-session-resume.test.ts` "archives a damaged prior epoch…" fails
locally on plain `origin/master` too (local runnerd binary); CI runs it
with a fresh build.
- Restart chaos (Codex steer mode, K1/K2/K6) runs after this lands in
the harness slot. Before: 0 of 6 steered messages answered.

## Risks

- Duplicate delivery: a provider that records steered input without a
`userMessage` item, or a `userMessage` event lost in the crash window
before persistence, makes recovery send the message again. The model
then sees it twice. That is safer than losing it, and the instruction
asks the model to handle each one once.
- Pi (ACPX) steering has no `userMessage` read evidence today, so a Pi
steer that the model already read before a restart may arrive again in
the continuation.
- Only the restart continuation carries the messages. Other recovery
paths start after a completed turn, which already read every steer.
- No schema or migration change. A session saved by an earlier release
resumes normally; its run log already holds the acknowledgement events.

Can H. Tartanoglu 410aa6d1b4 test(runner): resolve provider fixture signals through PATH (#14476)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its native runner tests verify exact provider shutdown and recovery.
> - Four fixture call sites invoke `/bin/kill` directly.
> - NixOS supplies `kill` through PATH, so those tests fail before
checking process state.
> - This pull request resolves `kill` through PATH, as the neighboring
runner tests already do.
> - The same stop, probe, and resume assertions can run on non-FHS
hosts.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Four Codex provider tests fail with `No such file or directory` on
NixOS. Each failure comes from a test-owned `/bin/kill` invocation. The
executable is installed on PATH.

**Expected behavior**

Tests should probe and signal their disposable provider processes with
the installed `kill` command.

**Steps to reproduce**

On a NixOS host with `kill` on PATH and no `/bin/kill`, run the
`codex_provider` Rust integration target. Three `durable_stop_*` cases
and `structured_question_round_trips_through_the_normalized_backend`
fail. All four failures were reproduced separately on unmodified
`e9debd3eac328e6abe87ab89e9ff40ee2bb56b73`.

Related: these failures also blocked the broader local qualification of
#14474. This fixture fix has no dependency on that runtime change.

## What Changed

- Replace four test-only `/bin/kill` executable paths with `kill`.
- Retain every signal, PID/process-group operand, assertion, and unwind
cleanup.
- Match existing PATH lookup in this file and
`tests/process_supervisor.rs`.

## Verification

Rebased onto master `820c458465` (single commit `ad1fb1043`).

- `cd packages/paperclip-runner/runner && cargo test -p
paperclip-runner-core --test codex_provider --locked -j4 --
--test-threads=2`: 94 passed, 0 failed, 2 ignored (subprocess helper
entries that their parent tests run). The four tests that used
`/bin/kill` pass on a host without `/bin/kill`.
- No production code or documentation changes.
- Hosted CI: `General tests (workspaces-b)` timed out in
`packages/db/src/backup-lib.test.ts` and `e2e shard (1/8)` hit
`ERR_STREAM_UNABLE_TO_PIPE`. Neither area is touched by this test-only
diff. Master pushes currently run the "CI profile skipped" workflow, so
there is no master run of those jobs to compare against.

## Risks

Low risk. Tests require a working `kill` on their test PATH. Fixture
PIDs and arguments stay unchanged.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Sonnet 5.5 (`claude-sonnet-5-5`) through Claude Code
with tool use and code execution, for the rebase and verification.
Original change: OpenAI `gpt-6-astra` through OpenCode.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 dcaada5f59 fix(native): carry each warm run's own completion contract (#19874)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A warm runner (`lifecycleMode: warm`) keeps runnerd and the provider
process alive between runs, so a follow-up message can start fast.
> - Each run has its own completion contract. The revision changes with
each follow-up, and the agent must name that revision when it finishes.
> - On a warm attachment the transport rebuilt the `run.attach` payload
from its constructor options. Those options belong to the first run.
Every later run kept the first run's contract.
> - The OpenCode proxy checks the finish claim locally against that
stale contract. Every warm OpenCode follow-up was refused ("Semantic
result completion contract revision does not match"), and the agent
looped until the run timed out.
> - This pull request carries each run's own contract into the warm
attachment, and lets runnerd adopt it without a cold provider resume.
> - The benefit: warm follow-ups finish correctly, and they keep the
live provider process, which is the reason to be warm.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19852 (startup sub-spans), #19846 (TTFT baseline).

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Warm cross-run attachment for native Codex and OpenCode agents.

**Current behavior**
In a local measurement wave with `lifecycleMode: warm`, 4 of 4 OpenCode
follow-ups looped for 8+ minutes. Each finish call was refused with
"Semantic result completion contract revision does not match". The saved
`runAttachTemplate` after the attachment still had revision `1`, while
the follow-up turn named revision `2`. Codex hid the defect because its
finish claim goes through the controller's tool path, which uses the
current input.

**Proposed behavior**
The attachment carries the attaching run's contract. Runnerd updates the
contract in place for Codex and OpenCode and keeps the provider process.
The OpenCode proxy receives the current contract with the run identity
on `turn/start`.

**Reason and benefit**
Warm follow-ups are the largest TTFT lever in the baseline. A
correctness-only fix (cold-resume the provider when the contract
changes) would make every warm follow-up relaunch Codex or OpenCode,
because the revision changes on every follow-up.

## What Changed

- `attachRun` carries `completionContract` through `NativeSession`, the
harness backend, the Codex harness session and the runnerd transport.
`executeNativeSession` passes the current input's contract. The
transport uses it instead of its first-run `resumeCompletionContract`.
- Runnerd (`codex_provider.rs`, `attach_run_in_place`): a changed
contract no longer forces a cold resume for `codex` and `opencode`.
Codex app-server never receives the contract, and the OpenCode proxy now
receives it per turn. Other providers keep the cold-resume boundary. A
changed tool set still forces it.
- Runnerd sends `paperclipCompletionContract` with each OpenCode
`turn/start`, next to the existing `paperclipRunId`.
- The OpenCode proxy passes that contract to `attachRun` when the run
changes. `OpenCodeHarnessSession.attachRun` replaces its envelope's
contract and validates it.

## Verification

- `src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-warm-attachment.test.ts` (new case):
real runnerd and fake Codex. After a warm attachment with a new
contract, the saved `runAttachTemplate` has the new revision and the
Codex pid is unchanged.
- `src/cli/opencode-proxy-input.test.ts`: the real proxy bundle serves a
warm second run with revision `proxy-v2`. The second
`paperclip/runResult` is produced and names `proxy-v2`. Without the fix
the finish call is refused.
- Each test fails without its part of the fix: the proxy test without
the proxy change; the transport test without the transport change (stale
saved revision); and, with `PAPERCLIP_ATTACH_TRANSITION_RUNNER` pointed
at a runnerd built without the `codex_provider.rs` change, the Codex pid
changes.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib warm` (11 tests),
`native-session-runtime.test.ts` (232), the OpenCode driver, backend and
warm-attachment suites, and `tsc --noEmit` for the runner package pass.

## Risks

- Previous-release story (`rules/upgrade-safe-run-state.mdc`): no
persisted shape changes. Saved `runAttachTemplate` values carry forward,
and the next attachment writes the current contract. A new runnerd with
an old OpenCode proxy behaves as today: the proxy ignores the new
parameter and keeps the stale contract. An old runnerd sends no
parameter, so a new proxy keeps its launch contract.
- In-place adoption widens the warm-retention path for Codex and
OpenCode to changed contracts. The idle, accounting and pending-work
checks still apply first.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 a9ac2e2039 feat(native): split local runner startup into stage, launch and session-load spans (#19852)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - When a person messages an agent, the agent must start its turn fast.
Time to first token (TTFT) and agent boot are first-class metrics.
> - The Phase 0 baseline (#19846) found that local runner startup costs
1.6–17 s at p50 and up to 50 s at p95. It is the largest part of TTFT.
> - The run log records that startup as one span
(`runner.session.bootstrap` or `runner.session.resume`). We cannot see
if the time goes to staging, to the `paperclip-runnerd` process launch,
or to the provider session load.
> - This pull request splits local runner startup into three sub-spans
in the run log.
> - The benefit: the follow-up work to cut follow-up-turn TTFT can
measure each step before and after.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19846 (TTFT baseline, finding 1 and gap "No sub-spans exist inside
local runner startup"). Refs #19838.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The run-log performance spans for local native runner startup.

**Current behavior**
The local path records one `runner.session.bootstrap` or
`runner.session.resume` span that covers runtime staging, the runner
process launch and the provider handshake together. The remote path
already records `runner.runtime.stage` and `runner.process.launch`; the
local path does not.

**Proposed behavior**
The local path records three sequential child spans of
`runner.session.startup`: `runner.runtime.stage`,
`runner.process.launch` and `provider.session.load`.

**Reason and benefit**
The TTFT work needs to know which step dominates before it changes the
runner lifecycle. Without these spans, a change to warm runner reuse
cannot show which cost it removes.

## What Changed

- `RunnerdCodexTransport` has a new optional `onStartupStep` callback.
`#start` and `#resume` time three milestones and call it synchronously.
A failing callback never changes startup. A nested startup (exact
adoption from `thread/start`) keeps the outer clock.
- `runner.runtime.stage`: launch preparation before the runner process
exists.
- `runner.process.launch`: spawn until runnerd accepts the run
(`run.prepare`, or the recovery attachment on resume). An adopted live
runner records no launch. This keeps the existing meaning in
`summarizeStartupReuse`: a launch span means a fresh runner.
- `provider.session.load`: `session.open` (or the recovery probe) until
the provider identity is confirmed.
- `recordNativeRunnerStartupStep` (`native-run-trace.ts`) records each
step as a `run.performance.span` row with `mode` and `target: "local"`.
It uses `trace.defer`, so the run-log write never delays `turn.start`.
- The native executor passes the callback only for a local target.
Remote launchers keep their own spans, so there are no duplicates.
- `redaction.ts`: allowlist `runner.process.launch` and
`provider.session.load` as native span names.
- `doc/run-log-events.md`: new section "Local runner startup sub-steps".

Data path (AGENTS.md §5.7): run log only, plus Observability spans when
an operator sets an OTLP endpoint. The attributes (`mode`, `target`,
`outcome`) are already in the closed span-attribute allowlist. No
Telemetry change.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-startup-steps.test.ts`: a real runnerd
and the fake Codex fixture. Bootstrap and a cold resume each report
stage, launch and session load in order, with `ok` outcomes and no
overlap. A throwing sink does not change startup.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-run-trace.test.ts
src/__tests__/redaction.test.ts`: the rows have the correct parent,
offsets, durations and failed level. A stalled run-log sink does not
block the caller. The rows settle before
`task.provider_session.measured`. The names survive redaction.
- The existing `runnerd-codex-transport*` suites pass (412 tests). Under
host load (load average 16–27), the first full run had 7 timing failures
in suites that do not set the callback. Each failing file passed when I
ran it again alone. `runnerd-codex-transport-settlement` passed 3/3 for
the failing case alone.
- `tsc --noEmit` passes for `packages/paperclip-runner` and `server`.

## Risks

- Low risk. Without `onStartupStep`, the transport behaves as before:
the clock is not created and each milestone call is an optional-chain
no-op.
- More run-log rows: three per local runner startup.
- The step boundaries are controller-side observations.
`runner.process.launch` includes the runnerd authentication and the
`run.prepare` acknowledgement, not only the OS spawn.

discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 b5b972ceb1 fix(runner): stop provider tool processes that leave the owned process group (#19727)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The local runner (`paperclip-runnerd`) supervises each provider
process, such as the ACPX sidecar for Claude, in its own process group
> - Run teardown stops that process group, and nothing else
> - Claude Code starts each Bash tool command in a new session
(`setsid`). A command such as `nohup ./bench.sh & echo $!` leaves a job
in that session, and the wrapper exits at once. The job is then a child
of init and outside the owned group
> - In a restart chaos storm, a run failed after a restart resume. Its
tool job kept running beside the task's next run, in the same workspace,
for more than four minutes
> - This pull request makes the supervisor record every process that its
provider starts, including processes that leave the group, and stop them
all before teardown reports success
> - The benefit is that a run's tools cannot outlive the run and cause
duplicate side effects in the next run

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A restart chaos storm ran a local ACPX Claude task. After a restart
resume, the agent ran `nohup ./bench.sh <nonce> > log 2>&1 & echo
"started pid $!"` and then ended its turn without a result. The run
failed with `native_finalization_missing`. The runner tore down the
sidecar group, and the guardian killed the provider group. `bench.sh`
was in the session that Claude Code made for the tool (pgid and sid =
the exited wrapper, ppid = 1). It was never signalled. It kept forking
`sleep 1` while the task's next run started and finished in the same
workspace.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a local ACPX Claude task whose agent runs a Bash tool command
such as `nohup ./bench.sh x > log 2>&1 & echo $!`.
2. End the run (any outcome, including failure after a restart resume).
3. Run `ps -axo pid,ppid,pgid,command | grep bench.sh`. The job is still
running with ppid 1.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Claude Code (local ACPX). The gap is in the shared supervisor, so any
provider whose tools leave the group is affected.

**Root cause**
`SupervisedProcess`
(`packages/paperclip-runner/runner/crates/runner-core/src/process_supervisor.rs`)
spawns with `process_group(0)` and stops only that group in
`terminate_group`, `terminate_group_immediately`, `wait` and `Drop`. Its
own comment said that a caller that must exclude escaped or re-parented
descendants needs a separate lifetime fence. No caller had one. The ACPX
sidecar transport (`acpx_sidecar_transport.rs`, `shutdown` and `poison`)
and the ACPX provider guardian (`installation-integrity.ts`, which kills
only its own group) therefore left every `setsid` tool job behind. The
failure path after the resume was not special: the same gap applies to
every teardown.

**Expected behavior**
When a run ends for any reason, every process that its provider or tools
started stops, and teardown proves that they are gone. Identity comes
from PID, group, session and start time, never from a command name.

## What Changed

- Add the `paperclip-process-table` crate. It reads PID, parent, process
group and start time for every process (libproc on macOS, `/proc` on
Linux). `runner-core` forbids unsafe code, so the two checked libproc
calls live in this small crate.
- Add `process_lineage.rs` to `runner-core`. A sampler thread (every 50
ms) records each descendant of the supervised process by PID and start
time. It also records each group and session that a descendant leads,
with the leader's start time. A process belongs to the lineage when its
parent belongs, or when it is in a recorded group or session and started
no earlier than its leader. Groups and sessions that the supervised
process only inherited (runnerd's session) are never recorded. A
recorded ID whose PID now names a different process is dropped.
- `SupervisedProcess` samples the lineage just before it signals, and
after the leader is reaped it stops every live member: TERM, then KILL
after the shutdown grace. It fails with an error until it proves that no
member is alive (grace plus 5 s). This applies to `terminate_group`,
`terminate_group_immediately`, `wait` and `Drop`.
- If the lineage sampler cannot start, the supervisor stops the process
it just started and reports the failure, so a provider never runs
without tool cleanup.
- Table reads and state updates happen under one lock, so an older read
cannot erase members that a newer read recorded.
- The process table reports processes that exist but cannot be read. A
recorded member that cannot be read stays unresolved, and teardown fails
until its exit is proven.
- The Runner workspace now has two members.
`scripts/runner-release-crate-cache.mjs` and
`scripts/runner-debug-crate-cache.mjs` cache and mark current the
process-table lib unit with the Runner crate (otherwise Cargo rebuilds
the Runner crate after every restore). The debug contract accepts only
this library-only member and still refuses any other workspace change.
The workflow cache path lists and the debug clean step are updated to
match.
- `terminate_group_immediately` now accepts `EPERM` from the group
signal when the leader has already exited. macOS returns `EPERM` for a
group whose only member is the unreaped leader. The lineage pass then
proves that no other member remains.

## Verification

- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib -- process_lineage tool_job
immediate_group_fence` (macOS, local).
- New real-process tests in `process_supervisor.rs`: a supervised shell
starts a wrapper with `setsid` (Perl `POSIX::setsid`), the wrapper runs
`nohup <loop> &`, writes the job PID and exits. The test asserts that
the job is outside the owned group and re-parented, then calls
`terminate_group`, `terminate_group_immediately` or drops the process,
and asserts that the job is gone when the call returns.
- Red: with the tracker disabled, all three fail with `tool job <pid>
outlived its provider`.
  - Green: all three pass.
- Unit tests in `process_lineage.rs` cover a re-parented job, a job that
left its group but stayed in the recorded session, a session made after
the first sighting, PID reuse, and no claim through the supervisor's
inherited session.
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/runner-release-crate-cache.test.mjs
scripts/__tests__/runner-debug-crate-cache.test.mjs` (new case: the
process-table library is cached with the crate, and any other member
still needs review).
- `cargo test -p paperclip-process-table` (includes an exited process
reported as gone), and `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib` (570
passed).
`acpx_provider_backend::tests::unconfirmed_suspension_state_becomes_recoverable_only_after_cleanup_and_suspend`
fails sometimes under full-suite load. It fails at the same rate with
the tracker disabled, so it is a flake that already existed.
- Sampler cost: one table read takes about 0.4 ms for 1,200 processes on
macOS (about 0.8% of one core for each supervised process).
- The restart-chaos replay (`--replay w-20261107T023921-s7106/t67`) did
not run. The local session was not permitted to load provider
credentials. It is not proven against a live Claude run.

## Risks

- Teardown now stops all the processes that a provider started, also
intentional background jobs. This is the intended contract: nothing
outlives the run.
- A wrapper that lives less than one sample (50 ms) and orphans a job
before the sampler sees it is not recorded. Claude Code's wrapper
sources a shell snapshot and lives for seconds. On Linux, a
child-subreaper would close this gap. That is not in this change.
- When `runnerd` itself is killed with SIGKILL, this code does not run.
The provider guardian still kills its own group, but escaped tool
sessions are not stopped in that case.
- Teardown can return a new error when it cannot prove the lineage
stopped. Callers already handle `terminate_group` errors as provider
shutdown failures.
- The server does not yet gate the next run on the tool lineage of the
prior run directly. It relies on the runner finishing its teardown
before the runner exits.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 fff70fe49e fix(runner): relaunch a provider whose runner died before admitting it (#19784)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs execute through `paperclip-runnerd`. When the control
plane restarts, recovery starts a new runnerd process, and that process
restores the provider (for example the Codex app server) from durable
state.
> - Each provider launch writes a durable startup fence before it spawns
the process. Admission clears the fence. The fence stops a second runner
from launching a provider while an unadmitted one may still run.
> - A restart chaos wave sent SIGTERM and then SIGKILL to the control
plane in quick succession. The second kill landed after the restored
Codex provider was spawned and before it was admitted.
> - The fence stayed in state with phase `spawned`. Every later runner
refused to restore. The recovery probe's `runner.drain` failed with
"provider startup ownership remains unadmitted", and the task needed a
manual Retry.
> - This pull request lets a new runner retire that fence when the
recorded provider process and its process group have provably exited. It
keeps every other fence closed.
> - The benefit is that a double restart during provider relaunch
continues automatically.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A Codex run was active. A graceful restart (K2) suspended it, and
recovery started a new runnerd that began restoring the provider. That
runnerd spawned the Codex app server (pid recorded, phase `spawned`). A
hard restart (K1) 9 s later killed it before admission. At the next
boot, recovery chose `resume_dead_runner` and queued its `runner.drain`
probe. The new runnerd failed the probe with `command_execution_failed:
provider startup ownership remains unadmitted`. The run ended
`native_session_recovery_failed`, and the task needed a Retry. The kept
provider state had `lifecycle: "turn_active"` and a `startupAttempt`
with `phase: "spawned"`, `trigger: "restore"`, `processId` =
`processGroupId`, and no recorded exit. That process no longer existed.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a Codex task on a local runner.
2. Restart the control plane gracefully during the turn.
3. Kill the control plane again while recovery relaunches the provider,
before the provider is admitted.

**Expected behavior**
Recovery relaunches the provider and continues the run.

**Actual behavior**
Every later runner refuses to restore, and the run fails.

## What Changed

- `provider_backend.rs`: after a runner loads durable provider state,
`retire_orphaned_startup_attempt` clears the startup fence only when all
of these hold:
  - the attempt is in phase `spawned` (neither admitted nor failed);
- the session is still restorable (`session_open`, `turn_active` or
`provider_exited`);
- signal 0 returns `ESRCH` for both the recorded process and its process
group.

It records a `provider_startup_retired` diagnostic event with the
attempt, persists the state, and lets the normal restore path relaunch
the provider.
- Intent-phase fences (OpenCode). Three OpenCode runs after a K6 crash
loop, and other runs on master, stopped at phase `intent` with no
recorded process. Under load, the runner spends seconds verifying launch
artifacts after it records intent. An intent alone could not show
whether a process was started.
  - A new intent now carries `beforeSpawn: true`.
- A new `SpawnStarting` observation clears the mark immediately before
every provider spawn site in `start_with_tools_observed`. That clear is
fsynced, but it emits no extra diagnostic event.
- An intent still marked `beforeSpawn` (in a restorable session) proves
that no process was started, so the fence is retired.
- An intent that reached the spawn, or one written before this mark
existed, stays fenced.
- A runner that predates the field rejects the state as unknown
(`deny_unknown_fields`), which fails closed.
- `validate()` only allows the mark on an intent or on a spawn-stage
failure.
- The fence stays closed for:
- an intent that reached the spawn, or one without the before-spawn
mark;
  - a failed startup (initialization or spawn);
  - a session that recovery closed;
  - a process or group that may still run;
  - a permission error or an invalid id.
- The existing test
`failed_authenticated_identity_commit_keeps_the_durable_startup_fence`
now uses a live process group instead of the fixed pid 123. That pid
might not exist on a CI host, so the test would no longer prove a
running provider keeps the fence.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: the new integration test
`restart_relaunches_a_provider_whose_runner_died_before_admitting_it`
(fake Codex app server; turn active; a `spawned` restore fence with an
exited process group; then the recovery `runner.drain` probe) failed
with `provider startup ownership remains unadmitted`, the incident
error. After the fix it passes. It shows one more `thread/resume`, the
retired diagnostic, and a cleared fence.
- Unit tests (unix-only module): retirement for each restorable
lifecycle, and for an intent still before the spawn. A `SpawnStarting`
outside its intent is rejected. The fence stays closed for:
  - an intent that reached the spawn;
  - an intent without the before-spawn mark;
- a real child that survives its killed leader (process-group probe, no
stubs);
  - a failed spawn;
  - a failed admission;
  - a closed session;
  - a live provider;
  - a surviving process group.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --test codex_provider`: 119
passed. The startup event counts are unchanged, because the spawn-start
mark emits no event. The existing fence tests
(`failed_provider_startup_is_persistently_fenced_before_another_process_can_resume`,
`durable_recovery_closes_a_provider_that_reopens_a_settled_turn`) still
pass.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib`: 570 passed. `cargo check
--workspace --tests` passes.
- `cargo fmt --check` passes.

## Risks

- Process ids can be reused. A reused id only makes a gone process look
alive, so the fence stays closed. Retirement needs `ESRCH` for both the
pid and the group.
- A provider process that moved to a new process group is outside this
check. Before admission the runner has sent it no turn, so it cannot
repeat provider work.
- Intent fences written by older runners, including the kept incident
states, have no before-spawn mark. They stay fenced and still need the
Retry. New launches carry the mark.
- A runner-side change takes effect on local runners after the runner
build. Daytona needs a new image.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 35d41f11bb fix(runner): keep Codex thread usage reported before a run's first turn as history (#19783)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A new Codex run can attach to a Codex thread that earlier runs used
> - In restart storm 9, a comment-wake run attached to that thread after
a restart. Before its first turn, it received the thread's usage from
the earlier run
> - The runnerd transport gave that usage an empty turn owner. The
driver rejected it as an unowned authoritative notification and failed
the run
> - The task then stopped with `native_event_replay_conflict` and needed
the next run to finish
> - This pull request keeps usage that arrives before a run's first turn
as history
> - The benefit is that a run is not lost to earlier work's usage, and
it is not billed for that usage

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19718, #19722

**What happened?**

Restart storm 9 (seed 7111), task CHA-5 (Codex). Run A succeeded. A K2
restart fired. The comment-wake run B then started on a fresh runnerd
and attached to the same durable Codex session. Before run B started a
turn, runnerd committed a `usage.reported` event for the thread's
earlier usage. The transport rehydrated it as
`thread/tokenUsage/updated` with `turnId: ""`, because no turn was bound
yet. `classifyCodexNotification` classifies an empty id as
`invalid_authority`. The driver failed the run with "Provider
authoritative notification thread/tokenUsage/updated did not name its
execution owner." Recovery then stopped with
`native_event_replay_conflict`.

**Expected behavior**

Usage that arrives before a run's first turn does not fail the run. If
the session has no usage baseline yet, that usage is history, so the run
is not billed for it.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use fake Codex with `--usage-before-first-turn`. It reports thread
usage right after `thread/start`.
2. Open a driver session over the real runnerd transport. Wait until
runnerd commits the usage, then start a turn.
3. Before this change, the run fails with "did not name its execution
owner".

## What Changed

- `runnerd-codex-transport.ts` (`rehydrateRunnerdUsageNotification`):
the transport omits `turnId` when no turn is bound. It no longer sends
an empty owner.
- `codex-session-notifications.ts`: usage reported before the session's
first turn, with no baseline yet, sets the baseline (history). Usage
during or after a turn keeps its existing accounting.
- Fake Codex: new `--usage-before-first-turn` flag.
- New test `src/live/runnerd-codex-pre-turn-usage.test.ts` with real
runnerd, the real Codex driver and fake Codex.

## Verification

- Red, run twice before the fix: the test failed with
`NativeProviderTerminalFailure: Provider authoritative notification
thread/tokenUsage/updated did not name its execution owner.` This is the
live message.
- Green, run three times after the fix: the turn completes. The run's
usage `runDelta` is 7/2 (thread total 12/3 minus the 5/1 reported before
the turn).
- `npx vitest run src/drivers/codex src/live/runnerd-codex-transport
src/native-session-runtime`: 991 of 992 tests pass. One settlement test
timed out under parallel load. It passes alone (19/19), and this change
does not touch it.
- `pnpm run typecheck` in `packages/paperclip-runner` passes. `cargo
fmt` is clean.
- Not run: the live restart-chaos replay. It needs provider credentials,
which this session does not load.

## Risks

- Low risk. The accounting change applies only when no turn is active,
no turn is pending, the session has no settled turns and there is no
baseline. In that state, the usage cannot belong to this run's work.
- The test reproduces the failing shape (usage committed before the
first turn) with a fresh session. It does not reproduce the exact
restart and run-attach sequence from the storm.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 ee1e1a3994 fix(runner): adopt the turn a dying controller's turn.start already started (#19772)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A remote Runner hosts the provider (here Claude through ACPX) and
keeps working while the control plane restarts
> - A controller can die after the Runner accepts its `turn.start` but
before the controller checkpoints the accepted turn or emits
`turn.accepted`
> - The provider keeps running that turn. On reattach, recovery saw no
checkpointed active turn, and the Runner's replayed `turn/started`
failed the session with "Provider started an unexpected turn"
> - The run then failed with `native_event_replay_conflict`, replay was
blocked, and a finished issue moved from done to blocked
> - This pull request lets recovery adopt that turn when the Runner's
authenticated command result proves it is the controller's own turn
> - The benefit is that a controller crash loop no longer fails a run
that the provider is still doing correctly, and a foreign turn still
fails closed

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
In a restart chaos run (Claude through ACPX on a remote Runner, crash
loop fault), a follow-up comment woke a new run. The controller sent
`turn.start` and the crash loop began about one second later. After the
restarts, the controller reattached to the same Runner and failed with
"Provider started an unexpected turn". The run failed with
`native_event_replay_conflict` and recovery required workspace repair.

**What did you expect?**
The new controller generation adopts the turn that the old generation
started, waits for its terminal, and finishes the run.

**Evidence**
The durable controller journal for the run shows command 4, `turn.start`
with `turnId: turn_lab_18ac…`, completed with `{ providerTurnId:
turn_lab_18ac…, status: accepted }`. The Runner emitted `turn.started`
for that turn 1.4 s after the command, after the old controller died.
The replacement's `session.snapshot` returned `activeProviderTurnId:
turn_lab_18ac…`. The controller's own checkpoint had no active turn and
the run had no `turn.accepted` event.

Related: #19711, #19691, #19718

## What Changed

- `codex-app-server-driver-impl.ts` `recoverSession`: when the
checkpoint has no active turn, no semantic result, and no autonomous
goal or disposition turn applies, adopt the single in-progress provider
turn if the transport proves that this run's latest completed
`turn.start` accepted that exact turn id. Any other active turn is not
adopted and still fails closed.
- `codex-session-state.ts`: a recovered session with an adopted turn
emits the missing `turn.accepted` before any of that turn's
notifications.
- `app-server-transport.ts`: new optional transport method
`controllerAcceptedTurnId()`.
- `runnerd-codex-transport.ts`: implement it from the durable command
journal (`controllerAcceptedTurnStartId`). The latest `turn.start` must
be completed and accepted, its result must name the requested turn id,
and no run attachment may come after it.
- `DURABLE_TRANSPORT.md`: document the adoption rule.

## Verification

- Red/green with the real `paperclip-runnerd` and the scripted ACPX
Claude sidecar: `npx vitest run
src/control-plane/acpx-controller-recovery.test.ts -t RC-59`. The old
controller sends `turn.start` and stops before the provider accepts it.
The provider accepts and starts the turn while no controller is
attached. A replacement controller adopts the live Runner through the
production transport and `CodexAppServerDriver.recoverSession`. Before
the fix: `activeTurnId` is null (the session then fails on
`turn/started`). After the fix: events are `turn.accepted`,
`turn.started`, `turn.completed` for the same turn, with one
`turn.start` to the provider.
- Driver tests: `npx vitest run
src/drivers/codex/codex-app-server-driver.recovery.test.ts -t
"controller that died"`. Adoption passes. With no accepted result, or a
result for a different turn, `startTurn` still fails with "Provider
started an unexpected turn."
- Journal unit tests: `npx vitest run
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts -t
controllerAcceptedTurnStartId` (pending, failed, rejected, mismatched
turn, later attachment, later pending start all return null).
- Regression: `src/drivers/codex` (all files),
`src/live/runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts`,
`src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-adoption.test.ts`,
`src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-release-resume.test.ts`,
`src/control-plane/acpx-controller-recovery.test.ts` pass. `pnpm run
typecheck:typescript` passes in `packages/paperclip-runner`.
- `pnpm verify` asks for broader coverage (exit 2). Required CI supplies
it.

## Risks

- Low to medium. The change only acts when the checkpoint has no active
turn and the Runner reports exactly one active turn. Adoption needs the
Runner's authenticated, run-scoped `turn.start` result for that exact
id. Without that proof, behavior does not change.
- If a `turn.start` result is still pending when the replacement reads
the thread, recovery does not adopt and fails closed as before.
- Not proven on Daytona. I did not run the paid replay.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 2d4f80504e fix(runner): retain exact ACPX checkpoints after rejected turn starts (#19762)
Preserve the exact idle ACPX conversation when a matching turn.start
response rejects work with retryable SESSION_RESUME_REQUIRED. Require
verified identity, no pending work, confirmed process cleanup and the
provider lifetime fence before normal drain and suspension can publish a
reusable checkpoint. Unknown acceptance and arbitrary closed states remain
closed.

The real Runner regression completes the next turn on attempts 2 and 3,
requires successful terminal status for the exact submitted turn, and
checks expectedIdentity on both resume requests. Controlled wire faults
reject failed, cancelled and missing-identity recovery.

Validation: 193 affected Rust tests on unchanged Rust source/fixtures;
134 recovery integration tests, 14 environment-gated skips; 21 Claude effort
tests; all server typecheck layers. Exact-head CI: 59 successful checks and
statuses, 6 intentional skips. Greptile Apex 5/5, no unresolved findings.
Hosted deployment and task acceptance remain separate.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 fc7e3a6503 fix(recovery): never replace a native session after a deterministic refusal (#19733)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native agent runs keep a saved provider session, and same-run
recovery resumes it after a failure
> - When resume fails and the checkpoint allows it, recovery archives
the saved continuity state and opens a fresh replacement session
> - Recovery used that path for every resume failure, including
deterministic refusals that left the saved state unchanged and repeat on
every retry
> - In five staging tasks a refusal (a protected launch argument, or a
predecessor tool call with no result) escalated into a replacement. The
remote archive move failed part way, the next attempt found no runner
state, and each task was blocked for workspace repair
> - This pull request stops before replacement after a closed-class
refusal, keeps the saved state, and hands the run to an operator with a
named reason
> - The benefit is that a deterministic refusal can no longer damage
saved state or open a replacement over an unsettled external action

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19659, Refs #19516, Refs #19334

**What happened?**
Five Codex tasks on Daytona sandboxes failed on staging. The first
attempt failed with a deterministic refusal:
- `run.attach cannot change protected launch arguments` (four tasks,
fixed separately in #19659), or
- `native_runner_source_semantic_reconciliation_required` with a
predecessor `paperclip_call_assigned_tool` call still pending (one
task).

The same-run retry then opened a replacement session.
`archiveContinuityState` failed with
`runner_continuity_break_archive_failed` and no detail. The third
attempt failed with `runner_remote_state_unavailable: exit=1`, and the
task was blocked with "Workspace repair required".

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Save a native session whose checkpoint policy is
`allow_replacement_after_resume_failure`.
2. Make the resume fail with a refusal that does not change state (an
attach refusal, or a pending tool call).
3. Same-run recovery opens a replacement session and archives the saved
continuity state.

**Expected behavior**
A deterministic refusal stops the run for an operator. The saved state
stays intact. A run with a pending side-effecting call never reaches
replacement. Transport drops keep the existing retry behavior.

**Root cause**
`executeNativeSession` checked only the checkpoint's replacement policy.
The closed failure class (#19334) only had an effect when replacement
was forbidden. Attach refusals and pending tool calls had no class at
all, and the source-reconciliation refusal was a plain `Error`.

## What Changed

- Runner (`provider_backend.rs`, `durable/mod.rs`): `run.attach`
refusals that would change the durable Codex profile or a protected
launch argument carry the closed classification
`provider_attach_refused`. An attach blocked by
`durable_pending_tool_calls` carries `provider_side_effect_pending`.
These refusals already leave the saved state unchanged.
- Contracts (`harness-driver.ts`): new closed classes
`PROVIDER_ATTACH_REFUSED` and `PROVIDER_SIDE_EFFECT_PENDING`. A typed
`NativeRunnerSourceReconciliationRequiredError` replaces the plain
`Error` at the five `native_runner_source_*_reconciliation_required`
throw sites. `runnerRecoveryFailureClass` reads the authenticated
command-result classification or the typed error, never message text.
- Runtime (`native-session-runtime.ts`): after either class, recovery
never opens a replacement session, whatever the checkpoint policy.
- An attach refusal ends with the existing
`NativeProviderStateIncompatibleError`, which maps to the existing
operator path `native_provider_state_incompatible`.
- A pending side effect ends with the new
`NativeProviderSideEffectPendingError`.
- Server (`native-session-executor.ts`, `native-session-resume.ts`,
shared `EXECUTION_RECONCILIATION_CAUSES`):
`native_provider_side_effect_pending` is a permanent failure and an
execution-reconciliation cause, so the board gets a reconciliation
(record whether the action ran) instead of a generic Retry. The
reconciled continuation does not rebind the saved session, which still
refuses attachment. It starts a fresh provider session in the same
workspace. The saved session and workspace are unchanged.
- Archive (`archiveContinuityState`): a failed remote move now records
the bounded (512 characters), redacted exit status and output in
`runner_continuity_break_archive_failed: exit=… timedOut=… <output>`.
The remote move already ran before the local move on `master`, so a
failed remote move leaves the local state in place.
`restart-interrupted-turn.ts` accepts the detailed message for its
reattachment-loss retry.
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md` and
`packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md` describe the new
rule.

## Verification

Red before the fix, green after (each test first run against unchanged
source from `origin/master` 644ee66f5d):

- `native-session-runtime.test.ts`, test "never replaces a session after
a deterministic, non-destructive recovery refusal". Red: replacement was
attempted (`TypeError: Invalid value used as weak map key` from the stub
replacement). Green: typed error, and `openReplacementSession`,
`openSession` and `openRun` are not called.
- `harness-driver-backend.test.ts`, test "keeps the runner's closed
class of a failed recovery". Red: the typed error did not exist. Green:
both new classes are read from the command result and from the typed
error. The same message text without the type stays unclassified.
- `tests/codex_provider.rs` (real durable executor and fake Codex
app-server):
-
`attach_with_a_pending_tool_call_is_classified_as_a_pending_side_effect`.
Red: `left: None, right: Some("provider_side_effect_pending")`.
-
`saved_codex_thread_attaches_after_a_release_changes_its_feature_toggles`
(protected sandbox change). Red: `left: None, right:
Some("provider_attach_refused")`.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts`:
- Test "stops same-run retries for an operator while a saved
side-effecting call has no result". Red: `expected
'native_session_interrupted' to be
'native_provider_side_effect_pending'`.
- Test "retains the local controller checkpoint until remote continuity
archiving succeeds: failed/timeout". Red: the message had no detail.
Green: the message has the exit status and output, a token in the output
is redacted, and the local runner and control-plane files are intact.

Safety and regression checks:
- New test "still replaces a session after an unclassified resume
failure when the checkpoint allows it". It passes before and after: a
transport drop still reaches replacement.
- Existing test "types a runner-proven incompatible session when
same-session recovery is required" still passes.
- `native-session-resume.test.ts`: a source stopped with
`native_provider_side_effect_pending` is not rebound.
- `run-completion.test.ts` "replays saved user intent through normal
Retry …" passes with the detailed archive message.
- Runner Vitest: `native-session-runtime.test.ts` and
`harness-driver-backend.test.ts` (266 passed);
`runnerd-codex-transport-warm-attachment.test.ts` and
`codex-app-server-driver.recovery.test.ts` (74 passed).
- Rust: `--lib` (560 passed, plus one ACPX timing test that failed under
load and passed when rerun alone), `codex_provider` (118 passed),
`native_provider_backend` (45 passed), `durable_recovery` (3 passed).

Not run: a live staging recovery at this revision. The local server
typecheck could not resolve the unbuilt runner package, so required CI
provides typecheck.

## Risks

- A run that a replacement session would have continued after an attach
refusal now stops for an operator. The refusal repeats on every retry,
so the replacement was the only way past it. It also destroyed saved
state, which is what blocked the staging tasks. A board Retry still
continues the task in a fresh session in the same workspace. This is the
existing `native_provider_state_incompatible` behavior.
- A new failure code `native_provider_side_effect_pending` appears in
run records and recovery actions. It joins
`EXECUTION_RECONCILIATION_CAUSES`, so the UI shows the reconciliation
flow, not Retry.
- An attach refusal used to reach an automatic replacement; it now needs
one board Retry. This is intended: the replacement archived saved state
and failed part way on staging.
- The pending-side-effect class means "no result delivered to the
runner". The controller replays a recorded tool outcome only after
attach. A call whose outcome the server already recorded therefore also
stops for an operator. That is conservative; the reconciliation shows
the recorded outcome.
- Only a pending tool call classifies an attach blocker. Other blockers
(active turn, ambiguous turn start, active goal) keep their current
behavior.
- The archive error message is longer. The one exact-match consumer now
accepts the `code: detail` form.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 d1ee25d0f7 fix(runner): fail a pending Codex turn start at once with the runner's own terminal failure (#19722)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The control plane starts each Codex turn through runnerd and waits
for the turn's start event (`#startTurnWork` in
`runnerd-codex-transport.ts`)
> - In restart storm 5, runnerd failed an accepted continuation turn
before it started (`turn_binding_mismatch`, fixed at its source in
#19718)
> - The transport held that terminal for the pending start and waited
the full 30 s bound
> - It then reported "runnerd did not report the provider turn
identity", which hid the real cause
> - This pull request makes a pending start fail at once with the
runner's own terminal failure
> - The benefit is a faster failure that names its real cause, so
recovery and operators act on the correct fact

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19718, #19699, #19608

**What happened?**

Restart storm 5 (seed 7106), task t01 (Codex). Runnerd accepted the
restart continuation turn. About 0.5 s later it committed a
`harness.diagnostic`, a non-recoverable `turn.failed`
(`turn_binding_mismatch`) and a failed `run.terminal`. The transport's
event pump holds a turn terminal while a turn start is pending, so the
start loop never saw it. The start waited 30 s, the #19608 adoption
check found no active turn, and the run failed with "runnerd did not
report the provider turn identity".

**Expected behavior**

When runnerd reports a final failure of the pending turn (a
non-recoverable `turn.failed` or a failed `run.terminal`) before the
turn starts, the start fails at once. The error names the runner's code
and message.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use fake Codex with `--foreign-usage-before-turn-started
--turn-started-delay-ms 20000`.
2. Start a turn through the runnerd Codex transport.
3. Before this change, `turn/start` rejects after the full bound with
"runnerd did not report the provider turn identity".

## What Changed

- `runnerd-codex-transport.ts`: new `runnerdPendingTurnStartFailure()`.
It finds a non-recoverable `turn.failed` or a failed `run.terminal`
among the terminals held for the pending start and the committed events
after the cursor.
- `#startTurnWork` checks it while it waits for `turn/started`, before
the adoption snapshot, and in the post-adoption wait. It throws `runnerd
failed the provider turn before it started: <code>: <message>`.
- The check runs only when the turn has not started. A recoverable
terminal does not trigger it. The #19608 late-start adoption path is
unchanged.
- Fake Codex: new `--foreign-usage-before-turn-started` flag. It sends
usage for a turn the runner does not own right after it accepts a turn.
This makes runnerd fail the turn with `turn_binding_mismatch` before it
starts.
- New test in `runnerd-codex-transport-deadlines.test.ts` with real
runnerd and fake Codex.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: `npx vitest run
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-deadlines.test.ts` → the new test
failed after 16.4 s with "runnerd did not report the provider turn
identity".
- Green after the fix: the start rejects in under 5 s with
`turn_binding_mismatch`, and fake Codex saw exactly one `turn/start`.
- The #19608 tests ("adopts a durably accepted turn whose start
notification outlives the turn-start bound" and "does not adopt an
accepted turn the runner no longer reports active") still pass.
- `npx vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport`: 9 files, 399 tests
pass.
- `pnpm run typecheck` in `packages/paperclip-runner` passes. `cargo
test --bin fake-codex-app-server` passes. `cargo fmt` is clean.
- `pnpm verify` exits 2 (broad input: the fake Codex binary). Required
CI supplies the broad coverage.

## Risks

- Low risk. The new failure fires only when runnerd itself already
reported a final failure and no turn start was observed. In that state
the start could not succeed, and before this change it failed after the
bound anyway.
- If a provider sends a non-recoverable terminal before its own turn
start for a turn that later starts, the start now fails earlier. Codex
sends `turn/started` before its terminal, and runnerd's terminal for a
protocol failure is final, so I do not expect this.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 42f6b3a870 fix(runner): keep a restart-lost Codex turn's late usage from failing its continuation (#19718)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native Codex runs continue a turn lost to a control-plane restart
once, in the same conversation (#19699)
> - In restart storm 5, a Codex run crossed one graceful restart. The

usage of the lost turn after it accepted the continuation turn. The

> - Recovery marks the lost turn as settled in the durable ledger. It
does not tell the live Codex provider, so the provider treats the old
turn's usage as a foreign event
> - This pull request records the lost turn as settled in the live
provider too
> - The benefit is that a restart-lost Codex turn continues without a
Retry

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19699, #19608, #19501, #15297

**What happened?**

Restart storm 5 (seed 7106). Task t01 (Codex, B5) crossed one K2 SIGTERM
restart. Recovery resumed the dead runner. Runnerd restored the
conversation and recorded `turn.failed` with
`provider_turn_lost_on_restore` (recoverable). The control plane started
the continuation (#19699). Runnerd accepted it as a new provider turn.
About 0.5 s later, Codex sent `thread/tokenUsage/updated` for the lost
turn id. The runner's durable state records these events:

- `turn.accepted` for the new turn `01a1b3e2-…`
- `harness.diagnostic` `turn_binding_mismatch`, method
`thread/tokenUsage/updated`, `expectedTurnId` = new turn,
`receivedTurnId` = lost turn `01a1b3e0-…`
- `turn.failed` (`recoverable: false`) and `run.terminal` failed

The control plane did not see `turn/started` and failed after 30 s with
"runnerd did not report the provider turn identity". The task needed a
manual Retry.

**Expected behavior**

Usage for the lost turn is history. The runner keeps it as a resume
usage snapshot. The continuation runs, and the task continues without a
Retry.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a Codex turn through the durable runner.
2. Kill the runner while the turn is active. Restore so that the
provider reports no active turn (`provider_turn_lost_on_restore`).
3. Start the continuation turn. Let the provider send
`thread/tokenUsage/updated` for the lost turn after it accepts the new
turn.
4. Before this change, the runner fails the continuation with
`turn_binding_mismatch`.

## What Changed

- `provider_backend.rs`: when recovery finds that the previous active
turn ended while the runner was offline, it now also restores that turn
id into the live provider's settled-turn set. The durable ledger already
settled it. The existing settled-turn path then turns its late usage
into `paperclip/resumeUsageSnapshot` and does not bill its `last` usage
to the run.
- The code skips this step when the settled-turn epoch needs a rollover,
the same as the durable ledger.
- Fake Codex: new `--stale-usage-after-turn-start` flag. With durable
turn ids, it sends usage for the previous turn right after it accepts
the next turn, before `turn/started`. This matches the live Codex order.
- New test
`restart_continuation_ignores_late_usage_for_the_turn_lost_on_restore`
in `tests/codex_provider.rs`. It uses the real durable Codex executor
with fake Codex.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --test
codex_provider restart_continuation_ignores_late_usage` failed with the
same diagnostic as the live run (`turn_binding_mismatch`, method
`thread/tokenUsage/updated`, `receivedTurnId: provider-turn-1`,
`expectedTurnId: provider-turn-2`).
- Green after the fix: the same test passes. The continuation emits
`turn.started` for `provider-turn-2`, there is no `turn.failed` or
`run.terminal`, and fake Codex saw exactly two `turn/start` calls (the
original and one continuation).
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core`: all suites pass.
`acpx_park_readiness::hosted_park_acpx_preserves_late_goals_and_rejects_foreign_or_busy_observations`
failed once and passed on rerun. This change does not touch ACPX.
- `cargo fmt --check` is clean.
- Not run: the live restart-chaos replay of
`w-20261107T023921-s7106/t01`. The local harness needs provider
credentials that were not available to this session.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change adds one already-ended turn id to the live
provider's settled set. That set is only used to ignore stale events and
to reject reuse of a settled id. So a provider that later reports the
lost turn id as a new active turn is now rejected, as the durable ledger
already does.
- The change does not address a second, separate problem: after the
runner failed the continuation, the control-plane transport waited the
full 30 s turn-start bound and reported "runnerd did not report the
provider turn identity" instead of the runner's `turn_binding_mismatch`.
That message only applies when such a failure occurs. This PR removes
this specific trigger.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 a894b11a2b fix(runner): retry a rejected runner suspension and log every cleanup quarantine (#19653)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run's close must prove that its runner durably suspended
before the session's next run may start. If it cannot, the runtime
quarantines the session (`NativeSessionCloseUnrecoverableError`)
> - In a restart chaos storm, an ACPX Claude run succeeded and its
normal close quarantined its own session. The follow-up run on that
session failed 2 s later with `native_session_cleanup_quarantined`, and
no control-plane restart came between the two runs
> - The close sent `runner.suspend` once, the ACPX sidecar rejected it
right after the turn completed, and the barrier gave up at the first
rejected command. No log line showed the quarantine or its cause
> - This pull request retries a rejected suspension within the close
deadline, and logs every cleanup quarantine with its cause when it is
created
> - The benefit is that a successful run no longer blocks its own
follow-up because of a one-time suspension rejection, and any remaining
quarantine can be traced

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Run A (ACPX Claude) succeeded. The run log of its close shows:
- `runner did not prove durable suspension before checkpoint`
- `native_session_settlement_incomplete
{"runnerSuspended":false,"providerDrained":true,"suspensionState":{"commandStatus":"failed","runnerLifecycle":"suspended",...},"semanticTools":{"pending":[]},"finalProviderState":{"activeProviderTurnId":null,"providerSettled":true}}`

The runner journal shows `runner.drain` completed, then `runner.suspend`
failed with `failed to suspend ACPX provider: ACPX sidecar command
session.suspend was rejected (retryable=false,
classification=unclassified)`. The follow-up run B on the same session
was created 200 ms after A finished and failed 2 s later at admission
(`retryQuarantinedSessionCleanups`, operator recovery branch). The
server log had no line for the quarantine. One Retry completed the task.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run an ACPX task whose sidecar rejects the first `session.suspend`
after the turn completes.
2. Start a follow-up run on the same session.

**Expected behavior**
The close asks again, proves suspension, and the follow-up runs. If a
quarantine is still needed, it is logged with its cause.

**Actual behavior**
The close fails on the first rejection, quarantines the session, and the
follow-up fails with no logged cause.

## What Changed

- `runner/.../durable/runner.rs` (`process_command`): a failed
`runner.suspend`, on first execution or replay, now keeps the runner in
`Continue` instead of `Suspend`. Before, the runner recorded `suspended`
over a provider whose session was still open, then exited. The RC-34
journal shows exactly that: runner lifecycle `suspended`, ACPX provider
`session_open`. A failed `runner.shutdown` still stops the runner.
- `durable-prp-control-plane.ts`: a failed or rejected `runner.suspend`
now lifts the connection's terminal-lifecycle fence, so the next pending
command (the fresh suspend) is delivered on the same connection.
Completed suspensions and every shutdown keep the fence. New test:
"delivers a fresh suspension after a rejected one on the same
connection". Before the fix, the retry was never sent and the test timed
out waiting for the frame.
- `runnerd-codex-transport.ts` (`awaitRunnerSuspensionBarrier`): after a
rejected `runner.suspend`, the barrier sends a fresh suspend command, up
to 3 attempts, 250 ms apart, inside the same close deadline. An exited
runner or a spent budget still fails closed. A rejection changes no
state: the runner returns before it records suspension.
- `native-session-runtime.ts`: new
`onNativeSessionCleanupQuarantined(listener)`. It is called when a
cleanup quarantine is created or escalates to operator recovery, with
company, run, issue, session, `operatorRecoveryRequired`, a bounded
cause (error name, code, message) and bounded settlement facts.
- `server`: `logNativeCleanupQuarantines` logs each quarantine as a
warning. The subscription is process-wide and installed once, so closes
that fail during shutdown, after HTTP closes, are still logged.

## Verification

- Red before the change: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner
exec vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts -t "rejected
suspension"`.
  - "retries a rejected suspension…" got `false`.
  - "stops retrying…" saw 1 attempt instead of 3.
- Green after the change: both pass.
- Rust: new test
`rejected_suspend_keeps_the_runner_serving_its_controller` covers a
failed suspend, its replay, and an accepted retry with a fresh command.
`failed_lifecycle_commands_replay_their_terminal_transition` now expects
`Continue` for suspend and `Shutdown` for shutdown. The `pnpm run
check:runner` unit suites pass (559). `acpx_park_readiness` has two
timing tests (`< 500ms`) that fail at this host load on unchanged master
as well.
- New runtime test: "announces every cleanup quarantine with its cause
when it is created" (operator-required quarantine, cause and settlement
reported once). `src/native-session-runtime.test.ts` passes (212).
- The suspension cases in `runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts` pass, except
"proves local suspension after an event backlog… (1024 suffix deltas)".
That case also times out on unchanged master at this host load (27–35);
I confirmed this by stashing the change and rerunning.
- Server `tsc --noEmit` passes after the runner package build.

## Risks

- A provider that keeps rejecting suspension now gets three tries
instead of one, within the existing close deadline. The final outcome
and quarantine are unchanged.
- The cause of the ACPX sidecar's first rejection is not proven. The
logged evidence fits the sidecar's "not at a safe suspension point"
guard (`turnId`, tools or inputs still set) racing the just-completed
turn. This change makes close tolerate it. It does not change the
sidecar.
- Log volume: one warning per quarantine.
- The Rust change ships in the runner binary. Hosted images need a
rebuild to pick it up.
- After a failed suspend, the runner stays alive with its provider. If
every retry fails, close still treats suspension as unproven and kills
the owned runner process, exactly as before.

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

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs start an ACPX provider through Runner. `session.open`
opens the provider session before any prompt.
> - On a loaded host, a cold ACPX Claude `session.open` took longer than
its 30-second bound. The controller reported
`runner_local_connect_failed: PRP command session.open timed out`.
> - The server classified this as the generic
`native_session_interrupted` with `ambiguous_state`, so the task was
blocked at once. A person had to click Retry, sometimes several times.
In one restart-chaos storm, one task needed three Retry clicks, and on
another task both Retry runs timed out too.
> - The server already has a bounded same-run bootstrap retry for
failures that come before provider work (#18854). It did not recognize
this timeout. The 30-second bound also cut off normal slow startups.
> - This pull request gives cold ACPX Claude a 60-second `session.open`
bound, like Pi and OpenCode (#19487). It also retries a startup
`session.open` timeout automatically on the same run, from clean state.
> - The benefit is that a slow cold start on a busy host completes, or
retries itself, instead of waiting for a person.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18854 (bounded bootstrap retry for definite `session.open`
failures), #19487 (60-second cold OpenCode admission), #19665 (the
bootstrap proof that this change reuses).

**What happened?**

ACPX Claude runs failed with `runner_local_connect_failed: PRP command
session.open timed out` about 35 to 40 seconds after they started. The
coordinator recorded `native_session_interrupted` with `recoveryMode:
"ambiguous_state"` and `providerSessionEstablished: false`. The task was
blocked with a board-owned action. No provider event and no checkpoint
existed. The host 1-minute load was 17 to 44, sometimes with no restart
nearby.

**Expected behavior**

A normal slow cold start completes. A `session.open` that still times
out during runner startup, with no provider event, no checkpoint and no
turn, retries on the same run with backoff. At most two automatic
attempts follow the first. A run where provider work may have started is
never retried automatically.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run ACPX Claude tasks on a host with a 1-minute load of about 25 or
more.
2. Observe a run fail after about 35 to 40 seconds with `PRP command
session.open timed out`.
3. Observe the task blocked with `ambiguous_state` and a manual Retry.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `6c7cc2c5d6`.

## What Changed

The bound (evidence below):

- `coldAdmissionTimeoutMs` gives cold ACPX Claude 60 seconds (live
adoption keeps 30 seconds). The runner's Rust sidecar
`session_open_timeout` and the sidecar's provider handshake
(`acpxSessionHandshakeTimeoutMs`) give Claude and Pi 60 seconds too. All
three bounds must agree, or the shortest one fails first. Claude's warm
run attachment uses the same cold budget, like Pi.

The automatic retry:

- `nativeSessionFailureSourceCode` returns
`provider_session_open_timeout` only for exactly `<startup failure
code>: PRP command session.open timed out`. The startup failure codes
are `runner_local_connect_failed`, `runner_direct_wss_failed` and
`runner_ingress_unavailable`. The transport uses them only before
startup completes. After startup the code is
`provider_transport_failed`, which is unchanged.
- `nativeProviderRecoveryEvidence` treats the cause as pre-session.
Durable evidence still decides: a bootstrap retry needs no provider
event (`session.started`, `turn.started` and the others) and no
checkpoint. The existing budget applies: three attempts with backoff of
about 30 seconds, then about 60 seconds. When the budget is used, the
task is blocked with the existing "Provider startup failed on 3 attempts
before any provider work began" action.
- A timeout is indeterminate: the runner can open a provider session
after the controller stops waiting. Live runs showed both leftovers, so
the retry now starts from clean state:
- `prepareNativeSessionOpenTimeoutRetry` (server) runs when the failure
settles. It quarantines a local runner root only when the
restart-recovery proof (`runnerdStateProvesIncompleteBootstrap`, #19665)
shows that no turn began and every recorded process is gone. Any other
root, and any remote runner, stays `ambiguous_state` as before.
- `resetAbandonedBootstrapRecord` (runner ACPX adapter) runs on a fresh
open (no runner-recorded identity). If ACPX has a saved record for the
session key with no messages, no prompt and no events, it is marked
`reset_on_next_ensure`. Claude saves nothing before the first prompt, so
reusing such a record fails the first turn with
`session_resume_required`. A record that holds any conversation is
unchanged.
- A chat retry of an exhausted `provider_session_open_timeout` run is
accepted like the other pre-provider causes.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` and the Runner README describe the cause
and the bound.

## Verification

**Measured startup distribution** (ACPX Claude
`runner.session.bootstrap` / `runner.session.startup` spans from
restart-chaos run events, 1-minute load 8 to 44):

| Source | Bound | Successful cold bootstraps (s) | Failures |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Earlier storm evidence | 30 s | 2.9, 4.7, 7.4, 8.6, 8.7, 26.2, 27.4,
27.6, 29.2 | startups ended at 34.9 to 40.3 s (the 30 s `session.open`
bound plus spawn and `run.prepare`) |
| This branch, wave s3601 | 60 s | 6.3, 7.8, 8.1, 13.4, 14.4, 22.3,
22.8, 22.9, **37.3** | 0 `session.open` timeouts |
| This branch, wave s3602 | 60 s | 13 samples, p50 10.5, p90 17.9, max
25.7 | 0 `session.open` timeouts |
| This branch, wave s3610 (final head, load 28 to 42) | 60 s | 10.4,
11.3, 11.7, 12.0, 13.3, 14.2, 29.6, **30.4**, **30.9** | 0
`session.open` timeouts |

Under load, successes clustered just under 30 s and failures sat just
above it, so the 30 s bound was cutting the distribution off. With 60 s,
cold starts of 30.4, 30.9 and 37.3 s succeeded that the old bound would
have failed. 60 s is about 1.6 times the largest observed success, and
it matches Pi and OpenCode.

**Live restart-chaos waves** (local, ACPX Claude only, 4 in flight,
`--rc06-masked`, real provider, K1/K2 restarts):

- s3601 (8 tasks, load 19 to 32): 7/8 PASS. No `session.open` timeout.
The one failure is an R3 Retry signature after K1
(`native_restart_recovery_blocked`), not this cause.
- s3602 (8 tasks, load 17 to 39): 8/8 PASS. No `session.open` timeout.
Three Retry clicks were for `native_provider_terminal_failed`
(`provider_turn_lost_on_restore`), a different restart signature.
- Forced timeout, s3609 (4 tasks, B5, K2): a local, uncommitted fault
injection gave every other cold startup a 1.5 s `session.open` deadline.
Result 4/4 PASS. Run 4fe6537a timed out, retried itself on the same run,
and then succeeded through four K2 restarts with no person involved. Run
02799a85 hit the injection three times in a row; the budget stopped it
after attempt 3, and one Retry completed it.
- Before the two clean-state fixes, the same forced wave (s3607 and
s3608) showed the retry reusing leftover state: `turn.start` failed with
`session_resume_required`, and then "ACPX session is not open". Those
runs are the red evidence for the two clean-state fixes.
- Final head, s3610 (8 tasks, K1/K2, no injection, load 28 to 42): **8/8
PASS**, 0 `session.open` timeouts. The one Retry click (t06) was for
`provider_turn_lost_on_restore`, a different restart signature.

**Tests:**

- Red before the fix: `native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts -t
timeout` (embedded PostgreSQL, real executor, real resume claim). The 3
retry cases failed with `native_session_interrupted` /
`ambiguous_state`.
- Green: `native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts` passes 36/36. New
cases:
- for each startup failure code, a timeout retries on the same run with
backoff, keeps the task `in_progress` with an agent-owned
`resume_native_run` wake, and blocks after attempt 3 with a board-owned
action;
- no automatic retry when `session.started` or `turn.started` is
durable, when the code is `provider_transport_failed`, or when another
command timed out;
- a real runner root with an opened session and no turn is quarantined;
a root with a turn command stays `ambiguous_state` and intact; a remote
runner is never prepared.
- `codex-runtime-adapter.test.ts`: 113 pass. New cases: a 45 s delayed
handshake is admitted for Claude and rejected for Codex; a
never-prompted record is reset only on a fresh open; records with
messages, a prompt or events are kept.
- `abandoned-bootstrap-record.test.ts` (real `createAcpRuntime` with
`createRuntimeStore` and a controlled ACP peer that, like Claude, cannot
load a never-prompted session): without the reset, a fresh open reuses
the record and the first turn fails with SESSION_RESUME_REQUIRED after
`session/load`. With the reset, the provider receives `session/new` and
the turn completes.
- `vitest run src/drivers/acpx src/cli` in the runner: 107 files, 1,935
tests pass.
- `native-session-executor.test.ts -t "session.open|startup|bootstrap"`:
144 pass. `runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts -t "cold process admission"`:
4 pass. `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib admission_budget`
passes.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server` and the runner `tsc -p
tsconfig.test.json` pass.

## Risks

- **This changes Runner Rust code. The Daytona runner image must be
rebuilt after merge** for remote sandboxes to get the 60-second sidecar
bound. Until then, a remote Claude `session.open` still fails at 30
seconds in the sidecar (as a definite failure, which already retries). A
remote timeout stays operator-owned, because a remote root cannot be
proven clean here.
- A cold ACPX Claude start that hangs now fails after about 60 seconds
instead of 30 seconds.
- A timed-out `session.open` may have created an empty provider session.
No prompt was sent. The retry quarantines that runner root and asks ACPX
for a new session.
- Same-run retries of a fresh-attempt Retry run can still fail with
`isolated_task_directory_binding_mismatch`. This is RC-35 (workspace
re-preparation), which has its own fix in progress.
- No schema or API change. The new error code appears on runs and in run
error codes.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 20fc37778f fix(runner): keep settled OpenCode sessions across a controller proxy rebuild (#19641)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native Runner keeps an OpenCode conversation in durable state,
so a task can continue after a control-plane restart.
> - Saved OpenCode state binds one digest of the launch profile: the
Node command, the proxy bundle and the OpenCode executable, each by path
and SHA-256.
> - The Node command and the proxy bundle are controller runtime. A
rebuild or deploy between a hard kill and recovery replaces their bytes.
> - The recovery probe then refused a settled conversation with
`provider_state_incompatible`, although the OpenCode release and the
conversation were unchanged.
> - ACPX already re-binds a settled session after a Runner upgrade
(#18879). OpenCode did not.
> - This pull request records the OpenCode release digest in saved state
and re-binds a settled session when that release is unchanged.
> - The benefit is that a task continues automatically after a restart
that also changed the controller build. A real release change still
fails closed.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19558, #19501, #18879.

**What happened?**

A restart-chaos wave killed the control plane with SIGKILL while an
OpenCode run was settled between turns. The first recovery attempt
restored the session. The controller's runner `dist` was then rebuilt in
the same checkout. The next recovery attempt failed in the
`runner.drain` resume probe with `OpenCode runner launch profile changed
across durable recovery` (`native_provider_state_incompatible`). The
saved state matched the original proxy bytes exactly. Only the proxy
bundle bytes had changed. The OpenCode executable, the paths and the
model were the same.

**Expected behavior**

A settled OpenCode session continues after a restart when only
controller runtime bytes changed. A changed OpenCode release, or a
session with work in flight, fails closed. The existing disposition then
offers one Retry that continues in a fresh provider session.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start an OpenCode run and let it settle between turns.
2. Kill the runner and the controller.
3. Replace the qualified proxy bundle with valid new bytes (rebuild or
deploy).
4. Recover the run. The resume probe fails with
`provider_state_incompatible`.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at a08f9494ea.

## What Changed

- `CodexProviderState` records `opencodeReleaseDigest`: the SHA-256 of
the qualified OpenCode executable, which owns the saved conversation.
- Restore re-binds a saved OpenCode session to the current launch
profile only when all of these are true:
  - The saved release digest equals the current executable digest.
- The saved configuration names the current command and proxy paths (the
existing binding check).
- The session is settled: no active or ambiguous turn, startup attempt,
receipt-limit interrupt, pending tool call, undelivered or queued
provider event, or working goal. The lifecycle is `prepared`,
`session_open`, or `provider_exited` (an observed idle exit that restore
already restarts).
- Every other mismatch keeps the exact binding and fails closed with
`provider_state_incompatible`. State written before the new field has no
release digest, so it stays exact.
- Session start still verifies every launch artifact and the restored
provider identity.
- `docs/durable-recovery.md` documents the OpenCode re-bind rule next to
the ACPX rule.
- The #19558 regression that required refusal of a new proxy for a
prepared run now asserts the re-bind. The remote pack retention from
#19558 is unchanged.

## Verification

- Red first:
`settled_opencode_session_continues_after_a_controller_proxy_rebuild`
failed on unchanged production code with the production message, from
the same `runner.drain` probe. It passes after the change. It also
checks that the conversation is resumed (`thread/resume`), that a new
turn completes, and that the re-bound digest persists.
- Counter-tests that still refuse: changed OpenCode release on a settled
session (state bytes unchanged), proxy rebuild with an active turn
(state bytes unchanged), and legacy state without a release digest. The
existing executable-drift test still refuses.
`exited_opencode_session_continues_after_a_controller_proxy_rebuild`
covers a kill after an observed idle provider exit (red before the
follow-up commit, green after).
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --test native_provider_backend`:
45 passed (one unrelated Pi lifetime-fence test flaked once under load
35 and passed 3/3 alone). `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib
provider_backend`: 145 passed. `cargo fmt` and `cargo clippy` are clean
for the changed code.
- Live restart-chaos waves (local env, OpenCode only, concurrency 2,
`--rc06-masked`). A drift injector appended a valid comment to the local
OpenCode proxy bundle after every fault took the controller down, so
each recovery saw a changed proxy digest.
- Wave 1, seed 3201, 4 tasks, 4 × K1: 3 tasks finished automatically.
The fourth was killed with a turn in flight. Recovery failed closed with
`native_provider_state_incompatible`, as designed. One Retry worked on
the first click and completed the task (R3 pass). That task's grade is
`R5:silent_dead_run`: the Retry run was quiet for 180 s during the B5
benchmark. This is not a launch-profile failure.
- Wave 2, seed 3207, 3 tasks, K1 × 2 and K6: 3/3 pass. The K6 task also
had a turn in flight. It failed closed and one Retry completed it.
- In both waves every kill landed with a turn in flight or before a
durable session. The settled re-bind path was therefore not reached
live. The Rust executor regression above covers that path.
- Environment: macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, local env, load average 17–39.

## Risks

- A settled OpenCode session now runs on the current proxy bundle after
a controller upgrade. The proxy keeps no state of its own; OpenCode owns
the conversation store. ACPX already accepts the same trade-off for its
sidecar.
- Sessions with work in flight are still refused. This is conservative
and matches ACPX.
- Runs saved by an older Runner have no release digest, so they keep the
old exact behavior once.
- Cursor Cloud keeps its exact binding. It is out of scope.

## Model Used

with tool use (shell, file edits) and extended reasoning.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e05bced39f fix(runner): adopt an accepted Codex turn whose start outlives the bound (#19608)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native Codex runs submit each turn through runnerd. The transport
answers `turn/start` only after it sees the provider's `turn/started`
for the turn the durable command result named
> - That wait has a fixed 30 s bound
> - At host load around 50, after two hard restarts, Codex accepted a
turn and started it about 27 s after the command, beyond the bound once
scheduling delay was added. The transport failed the start, but the
provider kept running the turn and made a tool call
> - No controller owned that turn. Its close could not settle, and the
task's Retry was refused at once
> - This pull request adopts the accepted turn when the bound expires,
but only when the runner still reports that turn active
> - The benefit is that a slow but live provider turn stays owned, so
its events, Stop and close keep working

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
In a restart chaos replay (two SIGKILLs about 20 s apart, local runner,
real Codex, load 50), a resumed run failed with `runnerd did not report
the provider turn identity`. The runner journal shows the durable
`turn.start` result with the provider turn id, then `turn.started` for
that same turn 27 s later, followed by items and a semantic tool call.
The run's close then stayed incomplete (`semanticResultsSettled:
false`), and a Retry of the task failed with
`native_session_cleanup_quarantined: prior session cleanup remains
incomplete`.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use a Codex provider that answers `turn/start` and emits
`turn/started` later than the transport's turn-start bound.
2. Start a turn through the runnerd transport.

**Expected behavior**
The accepted turn is owned and observed by the controller.

**Actual behavior**
The start fails after the bound, while the provider still runs the turn.

## What Changed

- `runnerd-codex-transport.ts` (`#startTurnWork`):
- Near the end of the bound, if `turn/started` has not arrived, the
transport reads an authenticated `session.snapshot`. It reserves at most
5 s (or a quarter of the bound) for this read.
  - It binds the accepted turn only when the turn is provably live:
    - the runner reports that exact provider turn as active;
- the runner attributed no provider launch
(`provider_startup_ownership`) to a command after this `turn.start`;
- for a local provider, the same process (pid and start time) that
accepted the turn is still alive.
- Otherwise it keeps waiting for `turn/started` until the configured
bound and fails exactly as before. A turn lost across a provider
relaunch keeps the same-run resume path.
- `fake-codex-app-server.rs`: new test options `--turn-started-delay-ms`
(a delay between the `turn/start` response and `turn/started`) and
`--exit-before-turn-started`.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec
vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-deadlines.test.ts -t "adopts
a durably accepted"` (real runnerd and fake Codex, 12 s start delay, 8 s
bound) failed with `runnerd did not report the provider turn identity`.
This is the replay's error.
- Green after the fix: the start resolves with `provider-turn-1`, and
`turn/started` and the turn's terminal follow in order. There is one
provider `turn/start`.
- Negative case (`does not adopt an accepted turn the runner no longer
reports active`): the provider accepts the turn and exits before
starting it. The runner relaunches the provider and still lists the
turn, but the turn is not adopted. The start fails within the bound plus
scheduling slack. A snapshot-only version of this change adopted that
dead turn, and it hung for 20 s with no terminal.
- `src/native-session-runtime.test.ts`,
`src/live/runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts` and
`src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-deadlines.test.ts` pass. The package
typecheck passes.
- Live chaos replays: results are added in a comment.

## Risks

- A provably live provider that accepts a turn and never starts it now
waits on the turn's own timeout and Stop paths instead of failing after
30 s. A dead or relaunched provider still fails at the bound.
- Remote runners can adopt only on the runner's own evidence (active
turn and no later provider launch), because their provider pid is not a
local process.
- A stale `turn/started` for a previous turn that arrives after the new
command result is still rejected. The transport cannot attribute that
turn's following events, so rejecting it fails only the transport, and
the same-run resume continues the task (seen in the replay). Delivering
it would attach the old turn's items and usage to the new turn.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e33aa8a46a fix(runner): let saved Codex threads follow the current feature policy (#19659)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work

task continues the same conversation
> - On each new run, the controller sends `run.attach` with the current

arguments, but every thread saved before that deploy still records the
flag

launch arguments`

failed, and the tasks became blocked for an operator

policy, so a saved thread adopts the current toggles and restarts on the
same thread
> - The benefit is that a release that turns a Codex feature on or off
no longer strands every saved Codex thread

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19516

**What happened?**
After a staging deploy that included #19516, Codex agent runs on tasks
with a saved thread failed at the start. The run log showed
`native_session_recovery_failed: PRP command run.attach failed:
run.attach cannot change protected launch arguments` (error code
`native_session_interrupted`). Same-run retries then failed with
`runner_continuity_break_archive_failed` and
`runner_remote_state_unavailable`, and the tasks were blocked with
"Workspace repair required". Four tasks on one Codex agent showed this
first failure. Each one last ran successfully before the deploy.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a Codex task so that its thread is saved with the launch
arguments from before #19516 (`--disable image_generation`).
2. Deploy a revision that includes #19516.
3. Wake the same task again. `run.attach` sends the current arguments
without the toggle, and the runner rejects them.

**Expected behavior**
The saved thread continues under the current launch policy.

**Root cause**
`CodexCommandExecutor::stable_launch_args` drops only the per-run
filesystem and shell-environment entries before it compares saved and
current arguments. All other arguments, including Codex
`--enable`/`--disable` feature toggles, must be identical. The
controller computes the toggles from Paperclip policy for every launch,
so any change to that policy made every saved thread impossible to
attach.

## What Changed

- `provider_backend.rs`: `stable_launch_args` also skips `--enable
<feature>` and `--disable <feature>` pairs and the
`--enable=<feature>`/`--disable=<feature>` form. The function contract
comment now lists the rebindable arguments. `run.attach` then adopts the
controller's current toggles. Because the arguments changed, the
existing path stops the provider and restarts it on the same thread.
- New test
`saved_thread_adopts_the_controllers_current_codex_feature_policy`:
- A thread saved with `--disable image_generation` attaches with the
current arguments, keeps its thread ID, and records the new arguments.
  - A new `--disable` toggle (a tighter policy) is also adopted.
- A new `--enable` toggle is adopted in both flag forms, and the thread
ID stays the same.
- A sandbox bypass flag, a different `default_permissions` profile, and
a different subcommand are still rejected with "protected launch
arguments", and the saved state does not change.

## Verification

- Red on `master` (8621bcf53e) with only the new test added:
  ```
test
provider_backend::tests::saved_thread_adopts_the_controllers_current_codex_feature_policy
... FAILED
a saved thread must follow the current feature policy:
DurableRunnerError("run.attach cannot change protected launch
arguments", None, None)
  ```
- Integration regression
`tests/codex_provider.rs::saved_codex_thread_attaches_after_a_release_changes_its_feature_toggles`
drives the real durable executor with the fake Codex app-server. It
saves a thread with `--disable image_generation`, attaches with the
current arguments, runs a second turn, and checks that the provider
restarted once. A sandbox-bypass change is still rejected. Red on
unfixed source:
  ```
the saved thread adopts the current feature toggles:
DurableRunnerError("run.attach cannot change protected launch
arguments", None, None)
  ```
Green with the fix. The full `codex_provider` binary passes (116
passed).
- Green after the fix (unit test):
  ```
test
provider_backend::tests::saved_thread_adopts_the_controllers_current_codex_feature_policy
... ok
  ```
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib`: 560 passed, 0 failed.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --no-fail-fast`: all Codex,
native-provider-backend, and durable-recovery integration binaries pass.
Some tests in `acpx_park_readiness` and `stdio_mcp` failed. Different
tests in these same binaries also fail on unmodified `master` on this
machine. They are timing tests under load and do not use this code.
- Not run: a live staging attach with a pre-#19516 thread. The runner
binary in a sandbox must match the controller's binary digest, so this
fix reaches sandboxes with the server deploy.

## Risks

- A saved thread now accepts any `--enable`/`--disable` toggle that the
controller sends. The controller is the only source of `run.attach`, and
a new thread gets the same toggles. A tightened policy now also applies
to saved threads, where before the saved thread was stranded.
- The sandbox, permission profile, approval, model, and subcommand
checks do not change.
- When the toggles change, the warm provider process restarts on the
same thread once. This is the existing path for changed runtime
arguments.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, used through Claude
Code with tool use (shell, file edit, browser reads of staging).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 f4b19e4231 fix(runner): finalize a durable proposed result when restore loses its Codex turn (#19658)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native Codex runs survive control-plane restarts: runnerd restores
the provider conversation, and the control plane continues the task from
its checkpoint
> - A hard kill can land after the agent proposed its result
(`run.result.proposed`) but before the provider turn ended
> - The restored runner then proves that the turn ended with the
accepted result. It records `session.reconciled` and `run.terminal`, but
no provider turn terminal
> - The Codex recovery read did not see that turn as ended, so recovery
failed with "persisted active turn … is missing from thread/read".
Retries ran out, and the Retry re-ran finished work
> - This pull request lets recovery settle that turn with its durable
result
> - The benefit is that a task that already finished its work continues
to finalization after a restart, instead of failing and redoing the work

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19525, #19591, #19539, #19501

**What happened?**
In a restart storm, a native Codex task (B1) proposed a complete
`paperclip.run_result.v1` with passing tests. The control plane accepted
the completion tool call. About 9 s later, a K1 (SIGKILL and restart of
the control plane) killed the controller, runnerd, and the Codex
app-server. After startup, `resume_dead_runner` resumed the same run two
times. Each resume spent about 25 s in `runner.session.startup` and
failed with `native_session_recovery_failed: HarnessReconciliationError:
persisted active turn <id> is missing from thread/read`. Then
`native_session_retry_exhausted`, replay was blocked
(`preserve_without_replay_v1`), and the run ended
`native_session_interrupted`. The task needed a Retry, which re-ran the
finished work.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native Codex task through runnerd.
2. Let the agent call `paperclip_finish`, and let Paperclip accept the
result.
3. Kill the controller, runnerd, and Codex before the provider turn
ends.
4. Let restart recovery resume the run.

Durable evidence from the kept instance:
- The run events have `run.result.proposed` for the turn, then a
`completion.tool_accepted` span, then the kill.
- The saved checkpoint has `activeTurnId` set to that turn and
`semanticResult: null`.
- The Codex rollout on disk does contain the turn. The provider did
persist it.
- The runnerd journal for the first resume has `session.reconciled
{previousProviderTurnId: <turn>, activeProviderTurnId: null}` and then
`run.terminal {turnTerminalState: completed, runTerminalState:
succeeded, reportedWorkDisposition: done}`. It has no `turn.*` event for
that turn. The runnerd Codex provider state shows
`completedTurnAuthoritative: true` and `completedProviderTurnId:
<turn>`.

**Expected behavior**
Recovery finalizes the accepted result. It does not re-run the task.

**Actual behavior**
The runnerd Codex transport builds the recovery `thread/read` reply from
runnerd's journal. It looked only for
`turn.completed|failed|interrupted|cancelled` events that name the turn.
Runnerd's "turn ended with an accepted result" branch
(`provider_backend.rs`, `recovered_turn_ended_with_result`) emits only
the reconciliation and the run terminal. So the reply omitted the turn,
and `CodexHarnessSession.reconcile()` threw at
`codex-harness-session.ts:796`. The second resume read the same journal
and failed the same way.

## What Changed

- `runnerd-codex-transport.ts`: a new `runnerdRecoveredTurnTerminal`
helper selects the terminal for a restored turn. A provider `turn.*`
terminal that names the turn wins, as before, with its cause. A
`run.terminal` that follows a `session.reconciled` that names the turn
as the ended previous turn (no active turn, no later `turn.started`) now
also settles that turn, with the run terminal's `turnTerminalState`. The
`thread/read` wait loop uses this helper.
- `codex-harness-session.ts`: `reconcile()` now settles a checkpointed
active turn that provider history no longer contains when the session
holds the semantic result that this exact turn proposed (`resultTurnId`
equals the turn). Recovery restores that result from the durable
`run.result.proposed` event. Without such a result, a missing turn still
fails closed.
- `codex-harness-session.ts`: the same rule applies when the restored
runner reports that turn `failed` with `provider_turn_lost_on_restore`.
This happens when the runner cannot prove the accepted result itself.
Later recoveries keep the settled outcome. Without a held result, a
restore-lost turn keeps its existing failure and same-conversation
continuation.
- `fake-codex-app-server`: a test-only `--hold-after-terminal-result`
flag keeps the turn open after an accepted completion report.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: one additive paragraph on this recovery
rule.

## Verification

- Red before the fix, real `paperclip-runnerd` and fake Codex: `pnpm
--filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/live/runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts -t "durable proposed
result"` failed with `native_session_recovery_failed:
HarnessReconciliationError: persisted active turn provider-turn-1 is
missing from thread/read` at `native-session-runtime.ts:2267`. This is
the same stack as the incident.
- Green after the fix: the run finalizes on `provider-turn-1` with the
proposed result and `runTerminalState: succeeded`. It has no
`session.failed` or `turn.failed`, and Codex received only one
`turn/start` (no re-run). With the transport fix alone, the test passes
in about 5 s. With only the session fix, it also passes (about 30 s,
through the 5 s read wait).
- Driver red/green:
`src/drivers/codex/codex-app-server-driver.recovery.test.ts -t "missing
persisted turn"`. The settle case failed before the fix (`recovered:
false`) and passes after it. The guard case (the held result belongs to
another turn) still fails closed. The existing "fails recovery
explicitly when the persisted active turn is missing or replaced" test
still passes.
- Driver red/green for the restore-lost case: `-t "restore-lost turn"`.
The held=true case failed before the fix and passes after it. The
held=false case still maps `turn.failed` with the lost cause.
- Transport unit test: `runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts -t "reconciled
result terminal"` covers the run-terminal rule and its negative cases.
- Suites: `src/drivers/codex/`, `src/native-session-runtime.test.ts`,
`src/backends/`, `src/live/runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts`, and
`src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts` pass. Some load-sensitive
tests time out at host load 25–30 and pass when rerun alone. The two
`proves local suspension after an event backlog … (1024 suffix deltas)`
cases also time out on unmodified master.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck:typescript`
passes.
- Live chaos replay with real Codex: K1 0–3 s after
`run.result.proposed`, 3/3 PASS (R1). Each case resumed the same run,
which ended `succeeded`. No Retry was needed and no work was re-run.
Details are in the comment below.

## Risks

- The transport rule accepts a run terminal only directly after
runnerd's own reconciliation that names the ended turn with no active
turn. Runnerd emits that pair only after it restored the conversation
and proved the turn ended. A provider turn terminal still wins. Other
run terminals do not settle a turn.
- The session rules use only a result that Paperclip already holds for
the exact turn. The control plane accepted that result before the kill.
A later provider terminal for that turn cannot change the outcome. The
finalizer can already interrupt a provider after an accepted result.
- A missing turn without a durable result still fails closed. Its
outcome is unknown, and the existing Retry stays available.
- No profile, schema, pack contract, or database changes. The Rust
change touches only the fake Codex test binary.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 374a918d67 fix(runner): retain qualified OpenCode artifacts for cold recovery (#19622)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native recovery must keep admitted provider state and useful
workspace files.
> - OpenCode binds its saved session to exact executable paths and
hashes.
> - A replacement image can remove those files even when session data is
saved.
> - Retaining a manifest alone cannot restore the missing launch files.
> - This pull request saves the qualified files before provider work and
restores the same owned paths.
> - The benefit is cold continuity without relaxing the Runner guard or
replaying a prior turn.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19558. That fix retains the selected pack for ordinary
continuation. This change adds durable file retention for a cold
allocation. Related #19487 adjusts the admission budget; it does not
retain launch files. A search of open and closed OpenCode cold/durable
artifact PRs found no duplicate.

**What happened?**

A saved OpenCode session could outlive the image that supplied its Node
executable, proxy, and native executable. A new image supplied different
bytes. The Runner then correctly refused the changed launch profile. The
saved harness did not contain the old files.

**Expected behavior**

Core must save qualified launch files before the first turn. It must
restore those exact files under the same owned account and absolute
paths. Unknown ownership, missing files, and changed hashes must still
stop recovery.

**Steps to reproduce**

Start an admitted remote OpenCode session. Save its workspace, encrypted
checkpoint, and harness data. Destroy the original allocation and
controller files. Restore into a new allocation with an image whose
qualified proxy has different bytes. Resume the same session. The new
opt-in local qualification command automates this path with actual
OpenCode and a local synthetic model.

## What Changed

- Store company-bound, encrypted launch objects and canonical run/backup
references. Generate migration 0438 through the normal database
workflow.
- Stage qualified Node, proxy, and native OpenCode files under a private
content-addressed OS-account home. Record the account UID and exact
launch paths. Preserve the Rust profile guard.
- Gate first provider work on durable capture under the current native
claim. Bound Stop/deadline waits while the actual late transfer keeps
its worker and scratch ownership until settlement. Restore cold caches
with verified staging and atomic rename. Keep live reattachment and
historical image-rooted sessions on their existing paths.
- Reuse bounded canonical expiration owners. Atomically fence old
checkpoint authority with a strict company/run-scoped retirement marker
before external deletion. Keep its indexed cleanup anchor across failed
deletes and restart. Preserve earlier resume handles and reject later
header or source-consumer writes. Add no idle scan or network call
inside a transaction.
- Add storage, race, executor, filesystem, and actual Rust resume
regressions. Add the opt-in local Linux qualification command and
operating limits in `doc/opencode-cold-recovery.md`.

## Verification

- RED before repair: real PostgreSQL/AES cold restore lacked the launch
files; normal executor preparation chose the new image pack. Separate
regressions exposed lost upload receipts, missing cache repair,
last-owner retirement, an account-UID mismatch, and a resume-handle race
during external deletion. Each expected failure was captured before its
repair.
- Local qualification before the final master integration: 1,169
executor tests, 233 storage/archive/admission/expiration tests, all
seven server typecheck layers, migration safety, and the actual Rust
cold-resume test passed.
- The maintained Linux command passed with two cached immutable
Paperclip images whose proxy hashes differ. It removed the original
account/controller trees, restored the production published cwd under a
new lease, resumed the same actual OpenCode session, kept a useful file
and prior model context, and made one new synthetic model request. No
external model call or network was available in either container.
- The object-store fixture uses real encrypted StorageService streams
with an independent owned local directory. It is not hosted S3
acceptance or a complete task HTTP/actor workflow. Historical tasks
still require normal effects reconciliation and recovery after
deployment.
- Review regressions reproduced partial-cache publication,
resume-versus-deletion, fresh-writer and source-consumer resurrection,
and unbounded Stop/deadline waits before each repair. They now pass
through real filesystem, encrypted storage, PostgreSQL, and SDK
boundaries. File validation is split from database ownership (384/831
source lines).
- Clean runtime head `aadab7acc69ff959678030db46ffe2dcfbefe28f`: the
maintained actual OpenCode cold qualification passed with `dirty:false`.
It preserved the provider session and recorded launch paths, restored
useful workspace content and prior model context, and made exactly one
resumed synthetic model request. The 314,560,000-byte launch capture
took 23.118 seconds; the later harness was 833,536 bytes. Subsequent
repairs change backup-reference retirement and governed continuity-cache
classification; capture, restore, launch, and published-workspace inputs
are unchanged, so that runtime receipt remains scoped to those paths.
The continuity-break consumer is verified separately.
- Retention repair `c14d386cecf7123257918ba6a8d47307df2da397`: 68/68
affected real PostgreSQL/AES storage tests and 15/15 focused executor
authority/admission cases pass. All seven server typecheck layers pass
(source layers and unchanged test shards, with the final 590-file test
layer repeated after fixture edits). All review threads have
evidence-backed resolutions. Its subsequent CI caught the separate
lifecycle-classification gap described below. The refreshed Paperclip
review reported paused work, not a completed new review.
- Final head `4d1cd3e3309e328b11abc85adc6d78c6d0c7f55d`: all 19 focused
root-entry/executor cases and all three source declaration layers pass.
[Greptile reviewed this exact head at
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19622#issuecomment-6695984874).
Final-head [CI
verification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42308908167/job/128214100339)
passes: 60 successful checks, five conditional skips, and the explicitly
neutral paused Paperclip review. No check is pending or failing.
- CI also caught the launch cache missing from the session-root
lifecycle contract. Both the writer scan and a real governed-replacement
consumer failed locally before repair: old launch bytes remained in the
active root. The cache now archives with the prior session state; the
consumer verifies exact bytes are preserved in the archive and absent
from the active root.
- The latest review found that backup retirement could delete an
independent run pin while a selected session retained the checkpoint. A
real PostgreSQL/AES regression failed before the repair. Backup-only
ownership now uses a NULL-safe exact backup predicate; the run pin
belongs to fenced checkpoint expiration. The regression verifies
checkpoint decryption and launch-file restoration after pending-backup
cleanup, followed by deletion only after removing the final resume
handle.
- An executor first-session case checks new-session durable capture
through the real capture helper and receipt propagation into the actual
harness manifest at the backup boundary. Real storage cases verify the
run-profile receipt and canonical backup/run pins.
- Sequential closure reuse and simultaneous first admission are
different scopes. A deterministic two-uploader test measures both
independent uploads, one verified ready winner, loser-only deletion, and
usable restoration for both runs. Each capture is bounded to 512 MiB and
five minutes; up to three pending receipts per run are retained. There
is no claim of global single-flight capture or a company-wide egress
bound.
- Earlier optional warm-ownership verification encountered missing local
binaries. After exact-source setup, all nine ownership assertions
passed; two other suites encountered local PostgreSQL setup/teardown
contention, so those interrupted attempts are not passes. Required
current-head CI supplies the broad final coverage. No deployment or
hosted historical recovery is claimed.

## Risks

- This adds two tables and a forward migration. The file object is
bounded to 512 MiB. Capture adds one initial transfer; later harness
archives exclude those large files. Company-scoped ready objects are
shared and retained until the last canonical owner retires. Concurrent
initial admissions can duplicate bounded transfers; each keeps
independent ownership and cancellation rather than waiting on another
controller. A continuity break retains the controller cache with its
prior state until normal session-root cleanup, adding up to one bounded
launch closure per retired state.
- Cold continuity requires the same qualified Linux platform, supported
runtime dependencies, owned account UID/home, and published absolute
cwd. A mismatch fails closed. No alias or Rust guard change is included.
- Existing image-rooted profiles have no retained file object. This
change cannot backfill missing historical binaries. A fresh governed
session must reconcile prior effects first.
- Live reattachment does not read artifact objects. Storage or
provenance failures before a new turn hold admission. They do not grant
new execution, model, tool, or replay authority.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and local browser tools. The exact served model ID and
context window are not exposed in this session. No claim is made for
unavailable model metadata.

DottaandPaperclip b55d8a9201 fix(runner): retain admitted OpenCode pack on ordinary continuation (#19558)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and preserves their work across runs.
> - Native OpenCode turns can restore a saved provider session after the
prior daemon stops.
> - The Rust provider binds that saved state to exact qualified launch
paths and artifact bytes.
> - Ordinary continuation selected the current provider pack, although
live reattachment retained the admitted pack.
> - A new proxy or a diagnostics setting could therefore replace the
launch profile behind saved state.
> - This pull request retains the recorded pack for ordinary OpenCode
continuation with a verified durable binding.
> - The benefit is compatible continuation without weakening artifact
integrity or granting replay authority.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #17512, #18237. These added saved authority and compatible pack
reuse. This change covers ordinary OpenCode continuation.

**What happened?**

An ordinary remote OpenCode continuation could select a newer pack while
restoring its existing provider session. The Rust recovery guard then
rejected the changed launch profile. The same error can occur after a
controller release changes the bundled proxy.

**Expected behavior**

A continuation with a valid saved binding and pack receipt uses the same
admitted artifacts. If those artifacts are unavailable, it holds the
saved state instead of selecting another pack or creating a provider
session.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Admit a remote OpenCode session with a qualified protected provider
pack.
2. Persist its pack receipt and suspended durable Runner state.
3. Change the controller bundle to a valid pack with a different proxy
digest.
4. Start an ordinary continuation with diagnostics enabled.

The new executor regression fails before the repair because selection
rejects the available original pack in favor of the new bundle. It
passes after the repair.

## What Changed

- Retain the saved provider pack for ordinary OpenCode continuation with
a verified durable session binding.
- Keep provider-pack retention independent of surviving-daemon identity:
a new daemon records its current binary, and an authorized continuity
break restores normal compatible pack selection.
- Test retained pack selection after a proxy upgrade and fail closed
when only a newer pack is available.
- Test the real Rust executor with changed, valid proxy file bytes. It
rejects drift without changing saved state and accepts the original
artifacts again.
- Document the selection rule and its limits.

## Verification

- Initial prevention focused Vitest: 220 passed across native session
execution, pack authority, pack verification and pack preparation. The
executor regression was observed failing before the production change.
- Rust native provider tests: all five OpenCode tests passed. These
include the existing drift guard, actual changed proxy bytes, original
artifact restoration and restart-lost turn behavior.
- Advisory review follow-up: reproduced stale daemon identity in the
actual executor and incompatible pack selection after a governed
continuity archive. Both fail before their corresponding repairs and
pass after them. Added an executor regression for a missing authority
receipt; it remains at the current release integrity gate without
creating a new receipt.
- Updated head `639c080856` integrates master `17901d74ba` by normal
merge. Affected Vitest: 202 passed across four files, including all new
review regressions; all seven server typecheck layers passed. Exact-head
CI and fresh Greptile/Paperclip review are pending. The prior head had
57 successful checks plus successful Snyk and Greptile 5/5; those
results do not qualify this revision.
- Environment: macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, locked pnpm 9.15.4
dependencies, controlled remote command boundary and real Rust provider
executor. No paid provider calls or hosted retries.
- This is a bounded prevention change. It does not deliver historical
provider artifacts to a replacement sandbox or replacement controller.
Missing saved receipts or unavailable old artifacts remain a separate
cold-recovery gap. No full hosted recovery is claimed.

## Risks

- A continuation now requires its exact recorded pack when it has a
durable binding. A newer installed pack cannot substitute for missing
historical bytes.
- Fresh launches, other providers and explicit continuity replacement
keep their existing paths. Current ownership, company, model, permission
and receipt binding checks remain in effect.
- The repair does not relax the Rust launch-profile guard, replay prior
tool effects, or authorize a new provider conversation. Existing
published review receipts remain history.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The host does not expose the exact model ID
or context window. Capabilities used: reasoning, code editing, shell
execution, tests and authenticated read-only browser diagnostics.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 a0cba70f18 fix(runner): continue restart-interrupted ACPX and OpenCode turns (#19501)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs keep their provider conversation when the control plane
restarts
> - A local Codex turn lost in a restart already continues once in the
same conversation (#15297)
> - ACPX (Claude and the other ACPX profiles) and OpenCode took a
different path: the runner closed the lost turn as a provider failure
> - The task then blocked with "Provider turn failed", and the user's
queued follow-up stayed unread
> - A restart must not need a user action when continuing is safe
> - This pull request gives ACPX and OpenCode the same recoverable
restart-loss cause and the same single continuation as Codex
> - The benefit is that work interrupted by a controller restart
finishes on its own

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15297 (Codex continuation), #19399 (restart-interrupted turn
hook), #19471 (harness fix used for the live reruns).

**What happened?**

After a control-plane restart during an active native ACPX Claude turn,
the task ended `blocked` with `native_provider_terminal_failed: Provider
turn failed`. The queued follow-up comment was not consumed. No
continuation started. The next run then failed with
`native_session_cleanup_quarantined`. A native OpenCode run killed
mid-turn ended the same way (`turn.failed` with `error: null`).

**Expected behavior**

When the old provider process is gone and the conversation can be
restored, continue the task once in the same conversation. When that is
not safe, record an honest restart cause instead of a generic provider
failure.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native ACPX Claude task on a local runner.
2. Submit a follow-up comment while the turn is active.
3. Restart the control plane while the turn is still running.
4. Run `pnpm test:e2e:runner -- --max-automatic-retries 0 --id
everyday-workflows.runner-acpx-claude.local.recover-controller`.

**Root cause**

- `runner-core/src/acpx_provider_backend.rs`
`restore_session_if_needed`: a saved `turn_active` state always closed
the session. It recorded `turn.failed` with only a top-level `code:
acpx_active_turn_recovery_closed` and no `error` object. It also emitted
`run.terminal`.
- The runnerd transport forwards only `error`, so the controller saw
`error: null` and reported generic `provider_turn_failed`.
- `runner-core/src/provider_backend.rs` gave the recoverable
`provider_turn_lost_on_restore` cause only to `provider_label ==
"codex"`. OpenCode shares that backend.
- `nativeRestartInterruptedTurnId` accepted only `codex_app_server`. The
runtime continuation gate accepted only `provider.kind === "codex"`.
- Two follow-on defects appeared once the continuation ran live:
- The restored ACPX provider rejected the controller's result for the
lost turn's open semantic call. That call never settled.
- The restored provider's MCP request ids restart. The controller keys
semantic calls by `hash(runId, callId)`. The continuation's first
Paperclip tool call reused an earlier id, was treated as already
answered, and hung. After the result was accepted,
`runner_settlement_incomplete` failed the run.

## What Changed

- ACPX runner: for an active turn lost to a runner restart, prove that
the original provider lifetime lost its fence quorum. Then restore the
same conversation and record `turn.failed` with `error: { code:
"provider_turn_lost_on_restore", recoverable: true }`. Keep the run open
for the controller's continuation. An accepted result, an unanswered
runtime request, or an active goal keeps the old close behavior. So do
an unproven lifetime fence and a failed restore.
- ACPX runner fallback close: add a structured `error`
(`acpx_active_turn_recovery_closed`, not recoverable, with an honest
restart message), so the cause survives the transport.
- ACPX runner: track open semantic calls durably. On restore, retire the
lost turn's open calls. Acknowledge their controller results as
`retired` and do not send them to the new provider.
- ACPX sidecar: when the sidecar restores an existing session, prefix
forwarded semantic `callId`s with a per-process namespace
(`r<hex>:<id>`). Fresh sessions keep raw ids.
- OpenCode runner: give OpenCode the same recoverable cause and open run
as Codex (`restart_lost_turn_is_continuable`). Cursor Cloud stays
excluded because its agent runs remotely.
- Runner TS: `nativeRestartInterruptedTurnId` accepts `acpx_runtime` and
`opencode_server`. The runtime continuation gate accepts `acpx` and
`opencode`. All other Codex safety rules are unchanged: one
continuation, admitted dead-runner restart only, no compaction, goal,
semantic result, or pending runtime request.
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md` and `doc/run-log-events.md`.

## Verification

Red, then green, at each layer:

- Rust `tests/acpx_warm_attachment.rs`
`restores_the_conversation_after_losing_an_active_turn_to_a_runner_restart`.
Red: status `closed`. Then red on the lost call's result: "tool result
does not match a pending provider call". Green after the fix.
- Rust `tests/native_provider_backend.rs`
`restart_lost_opencode_turn_records_a_recoverable_cause`, with the
qualified OpenCode launch fixture. Red: `error` was `null`. Green after
the fix.
- Rust unit test
`restart_lost_turns_continue_only_for_locally_restored_providers`
(Codex, OpenCode yes; Cursor Cloud no).
- TS `native-session-runtime.test.ts` "continues a restart-lost
acpx_runtime / opencode_server turn once". Red:
`NativeProviderTerminalFailure provider_turn_lost_on_restore`. Green:
exactly one continuation, which does not resend the task.
- TS `acpx-runtime-sidecar.test.ts`: a restored provider's call ids are
namespaced and resolve.
- Server `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`: a
checkpointed `acpx_runtime` or `opencode_server` restart interruption is
claimed as `resume_dead_runner`. Red without the driver gate. Green with
it.
- Two `native_provider_backend.rs` tests asserted the old
close-on-restore result. They now assert the new contract. Their real
invariant still holds: the delivered response is never replayed.

Suites run locally on the final revision:

- runner-core: `cargo test --no-fail-fast acpx`, `--test
native_provider_backend` (38), `--test acpx_warm_attachment`, `--test
codex_provider restart_lost`
- runner TS: `native-session-runtime`, `runnerd-restart-continuation`,
Codex driver recovery, contracts, and `acpx-runtime-sidecar` (all pass)
- server: `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts` (80
passed)
- `pnpm --filter "@paperclipai/paperclip-runner..." build` (all
generated-contract checks pass)

Live runner E2E (local, real Claude via ACPX, macOS arm64):

- `everyday-workflows.runner-acpx-claude.local.recover-controller`: PASS
twice in a row on the final runner code. The restart crossed an active
turn. The task finished `done`, the queued follow-up was consumed, the
ZIP download was verified, and there were no failure codes.
- `stock-harness.runner-acpx-claude.local.continuity-restart`
regression: PASS.
- Earlier failing reruns are kept as evidence of the follow-on defects:
one harness `kill EPERM` while stopping the server (unrelated to this
change), one hang on the colliding call id, and one
`runner_settlement_incomplete`.

## Risks

- A continuation can run more work in the restored conversation. Its
prompt requires inspecting state before repeating an uncertain action,
as for Codex.
- The ACPX restore waits up to 5 s for the original provider lifetime
fence before it falls back to the old close.
- The ACPX provider state file gains two fields with defaults. Older
saved states still load. A downgraded runner cannot read state that a
newer runner wrote with these fields.
- Restored ACPX sessions now forward prefixed call ids. Only fresh
sessions keep raw ids. Live proof covers Claude. Codex-ACP, Pi, Cursor,
Copilot, Grok, Kimi, and Antigravity share this path, but this PR proves
them only by unit tests and code review.
- OpenCode is covered by the runner fixture and gate tests. The live
OpenCode restart-chaos cell was not rerun here.
- `runner-core`
`unconfirmed_suspension_state_becomes_recoverable_only_after_cleanup_and_suspend`
is flaky when run in parallel. It also fails with the new path disabled,
so it predates this change.

## Model Used

tool use, code execution, and extended reasoning.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 5e62d8ee82 Report the native private host-control protocol version (#19488)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner executes agent work and reports its binary contract
through build metadata.
> - Unix Runner already supports a private host-control socket for park,
claim, and retire requests.
> - A host cannot identify that protocol from the current metadata.
> - This PR adds an explicit version field for that existing private
protocol.
> - Hosts can verify the selected binary before opening the private
channel.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19140 and #19129, which added the existing native lifecycle and
private channel.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The `paperclip-runnerd --build-metadata` response.

**Current behavior**

The native binary implements the private fd 4 protocol on Unix. Its
metadata has no field that identifies this protocol. Recovery versions
describe different contracts.

**Proposed behavior**

Report `privateHostControlVersion: 1` on Unix builds. Omit the field on
other builds. Keep ordinary artifact checks and runtime behavior
unchanged.

**Reason and benefit**

A host can verify protocol support on the selected binary before using
the channel. This field does not mean a provider is ready to park or
that a host implements public release/resume or qualified sleep/wake.

**Breaking changes**

The JSON response gains one optional field on Unix. Current artifact
parsers and launch checks accept extra fields. Binary contract version 2
stays unchanged.

## What Changed

- Add the Unix-only private host-control metadata version.
- Check the exact version and non-Unix absence in metadata unit and real
CLI tests. Keep hosted parking and public release/resume fields absent.
- Add a regression test that proves ordinary artifact parsing accepts
and ignores the new field.
- Document the field, exact-version checks, and separate provider and
host qualification.

## Verification

- On macOS arm64 with Rust 1.97.1, passed narrow offline, locked Cargo
tests for the metadata unit, six existing private-protocol cases,
wrong-fd CLI rejection, and real CLI metadata output.
- Passed `cargo fmt --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml --all -- --check`.
- Passed `vitest run src/evals/runnerd-artifact.test.ts` from the Runner
package: 5 tests. Initial collection could not resolve Ajv in the fresh
worktree. Connecting existing local dependencies resolved that setup
failure; no source change was needed.
- `git diff --check` passed. Reviewed the diff for secrets, personal
data, and private references.
- GitHub CI passed on commit `0790af690afaff10f3b69fd9130b5be1c5bab38c`:
[main PR

and [Windows
Runner](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42248006518).
Windows tests cover omission of the field on non-Unix builds. All 61
current-head check runs settled without failure; the latest status
context passed.
- [Standard Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19488#issuecomment-6689260747)
scored that same commit 5/5 with no actionable findings or unresolved
threads.
- No live provider or host sleep/wake test was run for this
metadata-only change.

## Risks

The main risk is treating protocol support as permission to park a
provider or as proof that a host supports release/resume. The
documentation keeps those checks separate. No caller enables the channel
from this field in this PR. Current parsers check named fields or
project known fields, so the optional field does not change ordinary
artifact checks. No migrations, new dependencies, runtime flags,
checkpoints, or provider pins.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`), High reasoning, through Codex with
tool use and code execution. Independent agent review checked the
metadata boundary and compatibility. The context window size is not
exposed by this session.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 6ca7b151f7 feat: compact an agent's context from the task Properties panel (#19378)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A task's Properties panel shows the assignee agent's context window
(paperclipai/paperclip#19273)
> - The board can see that the context is nearly full, but it cannot act
on it
> - A full context makes the agent compact at an unplanned time, often
in the middle of work
> - This pull request adds "Compact now" to the Context hover card
> - The benefit is that the board can compact the agent's context
between runs, at a time it chooses

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs paperclipai/paperclip#19273

**Problem**
The Context row shows how full the agent's context window is. The board
cannot ask the agent to compact it.

**Proposed solution**
A "Compact now" button in the Context hover card. It runs the harness's
own compaction: Codex `thread/compact/start`, and Claude's `/compact`
command through ACP.

**Alternatives considered**
A separate PRP `session.compact` command. Both harnesses run compaction
as a turn, so a compaction turn keeps the existing durable turn binding,
interruption, and recovery. A separate command needs a second turn
lifecycle.

## What Changed

- UI: the Context hover card shows Compact now with three states:
available, Compacting…, and unavailable with a reason (agent mid-run,
harness unsupported, task closed). The Storybook story shows each state.
- Server: `POST /api/issues/:id/context/compact` (board only,
`decideIssueAccess` `issue:mutate`, activity log
`issue.context_compaction_requested`). It queues a short run marked by
`contextSnapshot.contextCompactionRequestId`. `GET
/issues/:id/context-usage` returns the `compaction` state.
- Server: a compaction run does no task work. The native status arbiter
preserves the task status. The lifecycle skips handoff, liveness
continuation, review-path disposition and the issue comment, as it does
for goal-control runs.
- Runner TS: `startTurn({ compact: true })`. The Codex harness session
sends `thread/compact/start`. The runnerd transport maps it to PRP
`turn.start` with `compact: true` (Codex) or `text: "/compact"`
(Claude/ACPX). The native runtime option `sessionCompaction` requires a
resumed session and settles with a synthesized yielded result.
- Runner Rust: `turn.start` accepts `compact: true` for Codex.
`CodexProvider::start_compaction_turn` sends `thread/compact/start` and
binds the turn from the `turn/started` that follows the empty response.
- Fix (from #19273): Codex emitted `context.compacted` on both the start
and the end of one compaction item. It now emits it once, and the count
is distinct by `compactionId`.
- Fix (from #19273): the conversation event view dropped
`context.compacted`, so a finished run never showed the divider. The
view now keeps compactions, plus context readings for runs that
compacted. A finished run's compactions show as thread dividers.
- Fix: the Codex harness stamps before/after sizes on the compaction
event. Codex reports the compacted size before the compaction item ends,
so the old neighbour-based guess showed the wrong size.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, `pnpm check:token-gates`, `node
scripts/storybook-catalog.mjs`: pass.
- New tests: `server/src/__tests__/context-compaction.test.ts`,
`status-arbiter.test.ts`, `issue-context-usage.test.ts` (duplicate
compaction counts once), `ui/.../context-usage-row.test.tsx`,
`native-session-runtime.test.ts` (context compaction), Codex driver and
runnerd transport tests, Rust
`codex_compaction_turn_binds_the_turn_reported_after_its_empty_response`.
Rust `codex_provider` suite: 115 passed.
- `pnpm test:run` locally: one failure in
`chat-channels.integration.test.ts`. It reads
`.claude/skills/slack/SKILL.md` from the main checkout, which is not
present in this worktree. It is not related to this change.
- Live, local worktree instance, Codex agent on the Paperclip runner:
clicked Compact now. The run succeeded. Context went from 35k to 9.4k
tokens, and later 9.4k to 9.2k. The task stayed In Review. The thread
shows "Context compacted · 9.4k → 9.2k tokens" and the meter dropped.
- Live Claude proof: pending. The local Claude agent needs an Anthropic
API key. claude-agent-acp handles `/compact` as an echo-less turn, and
the runner already maps its "Compacting completed." notice to
`context.compacted`.

## Risks

- A compaction run resumes the agent's session. If the session cannot
resume, the run fails with `native_context_compaction_unavailable` and
the task is unchanged.
- Compact now is not available while the agent runs on the task, because
compaction interrupts the active turn.
- The conversation view now returns context readings for runs that
compacted. Runs that never compacted return the same events as before.
- An old runner binary ignores `compact` and rejects the `turn.start`
because it has no text. It does not start an ordinary turn.

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, through Claude Code

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work that AI agents execute through a Runner.
> - Core controls the work while the Runner owns the provider process.
> - Core can restart while an admitted provider turn is active.
> - Reconnect waits used to leave provider output in the process pipe.
> - Ordinary provider polling can also wait on a provider RPC before
Core reconnects.
> - This pull request drains passive local Codex output into bounded
durable storage between reconnect attempts.
> - Core receives the original events after recovery and keeps authority
over tools and approvals.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17594. Related work: merged #19353 supplies the Codex
receipt-limit fence and deadline-aware reconnect scheduler.

This PR now contains only shared passive intake and the already-live
native Codex adapter. A controller outage must preserve admitted work
and event identity without restoring a provider, sending a provider RPC,
or executing a tool during reconnect.

## What Changed

- Add a default no-op disconnected-poll hook. Managed providers and ACPX
retain that default.
- Drain passive frames from the existing local Codex process between
reconnect attempts. Requests, terminal reconciliation and lineage checks
wait for the connected path.
- Persist each accepted event before acknowledging the provider queue.
Soft-limit pressure retains the rejected suffix until Core ACKs free
space. Hard failures stop the owned provider and preserve the durable
prefix.
- Preserve credential observations and the existing lease, runtime,
grace and provider deadline bounds. Document the intake contract and
test replay through the real PRP controller.

## Verification

The slice was replayed onto master `bf10bc695a`. `git range-diff
f453509e6f..20626230b9 bf10bc695a..HEAD` reports an unchanged patch. The
diff has 11 files and contains no ACPX adapter or sidecar changes.

Targeted local checks on this head:

- `cargo test --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml --locked -p
paperclip-runner-core --lib disconnected -- --test-threads=1`: 12
passed. These cover passive deferral, no restoration, the real managed
HTTP worker, durable backpressure, oversized output and existing
receipt-limit cleanup.
- The 10 `credential_observer::tests::` checks passed. The Runner daemon
and recovery example build, and workspace Rust formatting passes.
- `vitest run src/control-plane/runner-recovery-fixture.test.ts
--maxWorkers=1`: four passed. Both controller replacement modes retain
the same process and replay event identities. The deadline and
silent-handshake cases also pass.
- `vitest run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts -t
late-remote-release-error --maxWorkers=1`: one passed. Whitespace and
added-line secret checks pass.

Earlier review found that disconnected ordinary polling could perform
synchronous managed history reads. The real-worker regression retained
here proves no history or stream-reopen request occurs until connected
polling. Earlier slice preparation hit a sandbox loopback denial and a
missing local daemon; the permitted loopback test and the test after
building the daemon both passed. The current-base checks above run with
those prerequisites in place.

Historical CI on the old combined head failed an unordered
AI-connections migration comparison. The faithful full-file local check
passed 158 tests, and the failure remains recorded
[here](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42112385671/job/127543554397).
Earlier receipt-limit delivery failures are addressed by merged #19353.
Previous review scores belong to the old combined diff. On current head
`b92d4b604ee6992eeefbc02c8d41ec4f2a608a4d`, [CI run
42125840239](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42125840239)
passed. All 59 checks completed with 55 successes and four intentional
skips. Standard review 13 and Apex review 14 each scored 5/5 on this
exact head, with zero comments and no unresolved threads. The single
Apex request is [recorded
here](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19029#issuecomment-6671993072).

## Risks

During an outage, native Codex intake uses 25 ms ticks between reconnect
attempts. A provider request or terminal waits for Core. Saturation can
pause intake or produce a failure. Managed remote streams retain their
existing limits. Tests use controlled local providers; live provider
qualification and deployment are separate.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`), high reasoning effort, through
Codex. Used source inspection, local native and PRP tests, and code
review.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 bf10bc695a feat(task): show the agent's context window in task properties (#19273)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents run through a harness (Codex app-server, or Claude through
ACPX), and the runner turns harness events into Paperclip events
> - Both harnesses report how full the model's context window is. Codex
sends `modelContextWindow` with its token usage. Claude sends `used` and
`size` in ACP `usage_update`
> - Paperclip dropped both values. The task view could not show how
close an agent is to compaction, and a compaction left no visible mark
in the task chat
> - This pull request carries the context-window occupancy through the
runner, stores it with the existing usage events, and shows it as a
"Context" row in the task Properties panel
> - It also shows a "Context compacted · 230k → 38k tokens" divider in
the task chat when the agent compacts its context
> - The benefit is that operators can see when a long task is near its
context limit and when the agent lost detail to a compaction

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19252 (same pattern: a canonical harness event turned into
task-chat UI). Refs #19267 (status notices; it turns Claude's compaction
banner into a notice, and this PR reads that notice too).

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The task view shows no context-window information, and a compaction is
invisible in the task chat.

**Subsystem affected**
Runner usage normalization (Rust and TypeScript transport), the PRP
usage schema, a read-only issue API, the task Properties panel and the
task-chat transcript.

**Current behavior**
Codex `modelContextWindow` and ACP `used`/`size` are dropped in the
runner. `context.compacted` always has null sizes, Claude compactions
emit no `context.compacted` event at all, and the live runner turn hides
every marker except "interrupted".

**Proposed behavior**
`usage.reported` carries an optional `context {usedTokens,
windowTokens}`. The task Properties panel shows a Context row ("10% of
258k") with a hover breakdown (tokens used, input and cached input,
output, cost, compactions). The transcript shows a compaction divider,
with sizes from the usage before and after the compaction.

**Reason and benefit**
Operators can see when a long task is close to its context limit, and
they can see where the agent's earlier context was summarized.

**Breaking changes**
None. The new schema field is optional, and the new endpoint is
read-only.

## What Changed

- PRP `usage.schema.json`: add an optional `context {usedTokens,
windowTokens}` object. Regenerate the schema bundle and the protocol
manifest.
- Rust `provider_events.rs`: add `codex_context_usage` (last request
`totalTokens` and `modelContextWindow`) and `acpx_context_usage` (ACP
`used`/`size`). ACPX `usage_update` now sets `context`.
- Rust `provider_backend.rs`: Codex `thread/tokenUsage/updated` sets
`context` on live (non-historical) usage.
- Rust `provider_events.rs`: emit `context.compacted` for the completed
`context_compaction` provider notice that #19267 produces from Claude's
compaction banner. Only this path marks a Claude compaction, so the
server counts each compaction once.
- `runnerd-codex-transport.ts`: `rehydrateRunnerdUsageNotification`
keeps a valid `context` on `tokenUsage`, so it reaches the stored
`item.completed` usage item.
- Server: new `GET /api/issues/:id/context-usage` (issue read access is
required) and `issueContextUsage` service. It reads only the assignee's
current session (the session of its newest usage report), and returns
that session's latest context reading, non-zero totals, cost, and the
count of compactions across all of the session's runs. Added to OpenAPI.
Shared type `IssueContextUsage`.
- DB: migration 0432 adds two partial indexes on `heartbeat_run_events`,
built concurrently. One indexes usage items by run and time. The other
indexes `context.compacted` events by company and session. `EXPLAIN`
shows that both lookups use them.
- UI: new `ContextUsageMeter` (bar, percentage, hover card) and
`IssueContextUsageRow` in the Execution section of Properties. The row
refreshes every 8 s while a run is active, and once more when the run
ends.
- UI transcript: `native-run-events.ts` maps `context.compacted` to a
`context` activity entry with pre/post sizes from neighbouring usage
items. `transcript-adapter.ts` turns it into a new `context_compacted`
marker variant. The live runner turn keeps that marker as its own
timeline row.
- Storybook: `task-context-window.stories.tsx` (Properties panel in a
task, all states, hover breakdowns, divider).

## Verification

- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib provider_events` (new
tests: ACPX context, Codex context, banner compaction, notice
compaction)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts`
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/ContextUsageMeter.test.tsx
src/components/transcript src/components/task-chat
src/components/issue-properties`
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-context-usage.test.ts` (embedded Postgres)
- `node scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`, `pnpm check:token-gates`,
`pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner run check:protocol-types`
- Live check on a local worktree instance through the runnerd path:
- A Codex `gpt-5.5` task showed "10% of 258k" (27k of 258k, input 77k
with 49k cached, output 1.1k).
  - A Claude Sonnet 4.6 task showed "17% of 200k" (34k of 200k).
- Storybook: Tasks and conversations / … / Task chat / Context window.
- Not verified live: a real compaction. The divider is covered by unit
tests through the same projector path the task chat uses.

## Risks

- The schema field is optional, and older runners omit it. The UI
renders nothing until a harness reports a window.
- Migration 0432 builds two partial indexes concurrently on
`heartbeat_run_events`, which is a large table. The indexes cover only
usage items and compaction events, so they stay small. They add a little
write overhead to those events.
- Claude in-progress usage rows still record zero tokens with `requests:
1`. The final turn usage is correct. This PR does not change accounting.
- A "Compact now" action is out of scope. It needs a compaction-only run
that does not produce a run result. It will come in a follow-up.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, used through Claude
Code with tool use (shell, file edits, in-app browser for Storybook and
the live instance).

Nicky LeachandPaperclip b61a815d3d Enforce Codex receipt-limit deadlines while Core is offline (#19353)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip uses a Runner to execute agent work.
> - The Runner keeps a record of each tool call, called a receipt.
> - When that storage reaches its limit, the Runner asks Codex to stop.
> - Core can stop responding while the stop request is pending.
> - Codex may already have written its completion behind earlier output.
> - The Runner must keep its stop deadline and preserve that real
completion.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19029. This is its first isolated slice; #19029 remains unmerged.
Related #17594 covers controller replacement. Related #17516 retains
receipts during explicit stop; this change handles the autonomous
receipt-limit deadline.

## What Changed

- Keep the existing 2s/30s stop deadlines while Core is offline,
including when a connection waits for a reply. Other lease and runtime
deadlines still apply. The Runner sleeps between connection attempts and
deadline checks.
- Stop the owned local Codex process when its deadline expires. Read its
remaining output within the existing size and message limits, then
process it in order. Only after output has ended and all earlier
messages have been processed can the Runner report a missing completion.
- After the local process has stopped as requested, skip replies that
only reject or cancel old requests. Commands, user responses and actual
tool results still require successful delivery.
- Keep the stop behavior, regression tests and transport documentation
in this slice.

## Verification

Standalone checks on this branch:

- Seven existing Codex tool-record limit integration cases pass.
- Twenty focused checks cover deadline cleanup and retained output,
including 273 distinct messages followed by one real completion, missing
completion, and a pipe that stays open.
- Separate checks cover strict tool-result delivery, three process-stop
cases, and lease/runtime/reconnect time limits.
- Four controller process tests pass. They include Core accepting a
connection but never replying, and a reconnect delay longer than the
allowed recovery period.
- Existing warm attachment still retains the completed turn's remaining
output and usage.
- Rust formatting, diff checks and the local secret scan pass.

The extraction first omitted an existing test helper and the connected
retry preamble. Standalone compilation and receipt tests caught both
omissions. Restoring them produced the results above. Full regression
checks run in GitHub CI.

Hosted CI passed both native platforms and typecheck, but [server11
failed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42118725143/job/127565828671)
one unchanged status-card test. Its fake clock advances while real
database work runs; the final clock assertion was 50 ms past its limit.
The identical test, service and scheduler passed all 36 cases in [the
earlier baseline
shard](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42111889388/job/127541685625).
The local comparison first needed a built SDK, then stopped at embedded
Postgres startup before any test ran. It did not reproduce the
assertion. The single failed-jobs-only retry passed. The original
failure and the blocked local comparison remain recorded here; the retry
does not establish a precise timing cause.

At exact head `f453509e6f`, all 59 hosted checks completed: 55 succeeded
and four were skipped. Snyk also passed. Standard review round 1 and
selected review round 2 each scored 5/5 on this head, with no unresolved
threads.

## Risks

The Runner now stops its local Codex process at the original deadline
even while Core is unavailable. If another program keeps the output pipe
open, or queued output exceeds the existing limits, the Runner cannot
confirm the outcome. It reports that uncertainty and keeps the records
already written to disk. Tests use real child processes with controlled
provider fixtures. Live provider and deployment qualification remain
separate.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`), high reasoning effort, through
Codex. Used source inspection, native subprocess tests and targeted
TypeScript tests.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

## Risks

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

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19252

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

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19246
Refs #19259

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

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

## Verification

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

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

passed; Storybook was skipped. Standard review 15 scored 5/5 before the
authorized follow-up [Apex
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/runs/127471966630).
Apex review 16 also scored [5/5 on this exact
head](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19133#issuecomment-6645371152),
with zero new comments and zero unresolved threads.

On this current head, the first server shard 11/12 [job
127458190155](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42087773928/job/127458190155)
failed the unchanged decision-model concurrency test: after releasing
the database lock, its `waitFor` observed one provider call instead of
two. The identical file passed all 37 tests on the prior reviewed head.
One targeted unchanged-head retry [job
127466020677](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42087773928/job/127466020677)
passed all 1,779 tests, including those 37 decision-model cases; 13
tests were skipped. No code, test timeout, or CI configuration changed
between attempts. The original failure's cause remains unestablished.

On prior reviewed head `e8ba82374e0f72c82ac3195d4b1b3798c9072bab`, the
first `General tests (workspaces-c)` job
[127389771745](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42068371976/job/127389771745)
failed the unchanged database SIGTERM test at
`packages/db/src/test-postgres-command.test.ts:44`: `JSON.parse` read
empty readiness-file content immediately after an existence check. The
fixture writes directly to that path, leaving a create-before-content
race. One targeted unchanged-head retry
[127398676711](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42068371976/job/127398676711)
passed all **313 tests in 72 files**, including SIGTERM and SIGINT. No
source or timeout changed between attempts.

On the superseded `ca088abd552b` head, one Cloud sign-in recovery case
returned to the expected task URL but missed its heading within the
five-second assertion window; the other 40 cases passed. One targeted
unchanged-head retry (job 127136265280) passed all **41 cases**. No test
timeout or application code changed between attempts, and the first
failure's cause remains unestablished.

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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