DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 484170d13b feat(recovery): prove copyback owners on the shared path by their PID space (#20018)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When a server restarts in the middle of copying a native run's
workspace back, the run keeps a receipt that names the controller doing
the copyback, so a second controller never writes the same workspace
> - A successor may take over only after proving that controller and its
copyback children stopped. Three places did this with their own hostname
check and then judged the PID on this host: the finalization takeover,
the local stop proof, and the board confirmation
> - A hostname is not a PID space: two containers can share one, so a
dead PID here says nothing about a controller there
> - The durable ownership plan proves owners by identity through one
shared prover, keyed by PID space
> - This pull request records the PID space on the receipt and routes
all three checks through one shared prover. It also judges the RC-50
copyback-owner hold on the shared path, and a proven-gone owner wakes
its waiting recheck
> - The benefit is that a takeover can never be authorized by the wrong
host's PIDs, and a hold whose owner is provably gone is rechecked now
rather than after its backoff

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19831 (plan, Phase 2 sections A and C), #19838 (inventory:
"Copyback-owner hold (RC-50)", "Native copyback owner receipt", and the
"One fact, many proofs" row `proveLocalWorkspaceOwnerStopped`). This
follows #19997, which left `proveLocalWorkspaceOwnerStopped` alone.

**What happened?**
The receipt recorded `hostname` but no PID space, so every check
compared hostnames and then probed the PID in this PID space. The
registry could not judge the RC-50 hold (`processSpace: null`), so a
hold whose owner was dead stayed on its backoff.

**Expected behavior**
Receipts carry `hostHash`. `proveCopybackOwnerGone` judges the owner in
that space; another space is unprovable (`foreign_host` / board
attestation). Receipts written before this change keep the previous
same-hostname rule. The hold's owner is judged by the shared prover, and
`gone` makes its waiting recheck due now.

## What Changed

- `native-workspace-owner-stop-proof.ts`: new `copybackOwnerStamp`,
`proveCopybackOwnerGone` and `copybackOwnerOnAnotherHost`.
`proveLocalWorkspaceOwnerStopped` uses the shared prover. Its
process-group orphan check is kept unchanged, because copyback children
are a separate proof.
- `native-workspace-finalization-ownership.ts`: the receipt records
`hostHash`, and the takeover uses `proveCopybackOwnerGone` in place of
the hostname compare plus `evaluateNativeControllerTakeover`.
- `native-workspace-owner-recovery.ts`: the board confirmation refuses a
live or locally unverifiable owner. An owner in another PID space stays
the board's to attest, and `hostHash` must match the recorded receipt.
- `workspace-recovery.ts`: new `wakeCopybackOwnerRecheck`. It makes a
waiting `copyback_stop_unconfirmed` recheck due now (respecting provider
cooldown and the deadline), grants no attempt, and only applies while
the hold still names the proven owner.
- `recovery/ownership-registry.ts`: `copyback_owner_hold` uses the
shared stamp and registers a settle that wakes the recheck. It never
resolves the hold itself.
- The settling-kinds list in `ownership-reconciliation-report.test.ts`
is updated.

## Verification

- `native-workspace-owner-restart-recovery.test.ts`: 18 pass. Three new
tests fail on `master` and pass here:
  - the receipt records its PID space;
- a same-hostname receipt from another PID space is never judged by
local PIDs: the takeover and the stop proof both refuse, and the board
can still attest;
- the RC-50 hold is judged `pid_dead` and its recheck is woken with no
attempt spent, while a receipt with no PID space stays unprovable.

The guard "a stamped owner in this PID space proven gone resumes
copyback" passes on both.
- `native-workspace-finalizer.test.ts` (65),
`workspace-recovery-preparation-gates.test.ts` (47),
`native-workspace-finalization-work.test.ts` (25) and
`ownership-reconciliation-report.test.ts` (25) pass.
- The server package typecheck passes.

## Risks

- Receipts written before this change behave as before: the
same-hostname rule, judged in this PID space.
- The board confirmation path is unchanged for owners on another host.
For an owner on the same hostname but in another PID space, it now asks
the board instead of trusting local PIDs.
- The hold settle only reschedules an existing recheck. The worker still
proves the copyback process group before taking ownership.

execution in Claude Code.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 5f1b1bb81d fix(recovery): continue from the last save when a retained source cannot be verified (#19867)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - When a native run cannot save its files, a retained-file recovery
hold blocks the task until the worker saves them from the retained
sandbox.
> - The worker verifies the recorded source strictly. This includes the
reusable-lease chain of the sandbox.
> - A reusable sandbox chain can cross from a parent task into a child
task. The check then refuses the source with
`allocation_ownership_ambiguous` on every attempt.
> - Retry repeats the same refusal. The task stays blocked by three
gates: the saved-work wait, the repair flag and the remote writer hold.
The only text left tells a person to inspect the run and its
environment.
> - The source check must stay strict. Recovery must still work without
a person.
> - This pull request adds an automatic fallback: the task continues
from its last committed workspace save, the unverified files are
attached to the task but never applied, and the unverified workspace
epoch is abandoned so its root is never reused.
> - The benefit is that tasks with an unverifiable retained source
continue by themselves, with no lost saved work and no admin action.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19840 (removes the "inspect the run and its environment" text and
keeps Retry; this change removes the need for that Retry).

**What happened?**

A child task ran in a reusable sandbox that it inherited from its parent
task. The run saved a checkpoint, wrote more files, and then failed to
save them. Retained-file recovery refused the source with
`allocation_ownership_ambiguous`, because the lease history of the
sandbox crosses into the parent task. The hold was exhausted after one
attempt. Retry made a new generation that failed the same way. The task
stayed blocked with `saved_work_recovery_failed`,
`workspaceRepairRequired: true`, and the failed run still the dirty
writer of the workspace. A second task had a stale exhausted hold for a
run whose files a sibling recovery action had already saved. That hold
also kept the task from continuing.

**Expected behavior**

Recovery works without a person. When the source cannot be verified, the
task continues from its last saved version. The unverified files are not
applied, but they stay available. A stale hold whose files were already
saved settles as recovered.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use a native run with a remote workspace whose reusable sandbox lease
history includes a lease of another task.
2. Let the run save a checkpoint, write more files, and fail its final
save.
3. Let retained-file recovery run, or press Retry.
4. Before this change, the hold is exhausted with
`allocation_ownership_ambiguous` and the task stays blocked.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on deployed builds that include `630411af53`. Holds saved by
the Nov 3–6 releases have this shape.

## What Changed

- New `server/src/services/workspace-recovery-fallback.ts`:
- `continueFromLastSavedWorkspace` runs when a hold is exhausted by a
permanent source refusal: `allocation_ownership_ambiguous`,
`source_binding_invalid`, `source_unavailable` or
`historical_source_missing` with retry class `service_required` or
`use_alternative_strategy`. It applies only to remote workspace sources
in the `prepared` state.
- Quarantine (secrets omitted under the workspace file policy: `.env`,
keys, repository metadata, dependency directories): if the retained root
is readable, the worker copies it with the existing read-only capture
(no write to the sandbox), converts it to a `.tar`, stores it, and
attaches it to the task as `unverified-files-run-<runId>.tar`. A
`workspace_recovery_quarantine` operation records it as `verified:
false, applied: false`. If the root is not readable, the worker records
a closed reason label.
- Stop proof: every allocation of the source run must carry a provider
stop receipt. A missing receipt is obtained through the same stop-only
cleanup as normal recovery (`prepareSandboxStopAndRetain` /
`prepareHistoricalSandboxStopVerification`,
`retryPendingSandboxTeardown`, `settleStopOnlyCleanup`). A sandbox that
another lease holds (`active` / `pending_cleanup`) is never read or
stopped from here; the hold waits.
- One transaction (lock order: task, coordinator, run, recovery action,
workspace) re-checks all facts including the stop receipts, abandons the
epoch, resolves the hold with the named outcome
`retained_source_unverifiable_continued_from_last_saved`, records an
`executionReconciliation` decision with `retainedSourceFallback`, and
denies native replacement. A Blocked task belongs to the hold only while
the hold's own `workspaceFinalizationBlock` receipt still owns that
status version, or, for receipt-less holds saved by older releases,
while the block was set by the run's terminal failure (within its
finalization window) and no status decision followed. Only then is the
task restored to `todo` and a continuation scheduled; a newer block is
kept and no continuation starts. The decision carries machine
`workspaceRepairEvidence`, which the reconciled admission requires for
runs with a restore failure.
- Continuation: with no waiting user input, the hold uses
`continuationDelivery: "pending"`, so the existing reconciled delivery
starts one continuation. Waiting user input continues the task itself
(`not_requested`), so there is never a second continuation.
- Agent note: the decision's `outcomeEvidence` (part of the
continuation's recovery outcomes) says that the run's unsaved changes
could not be verified and were not applied, where the attached copy is,
that the agent should check what to redo, and that completed external
actions must not be repeated.
- `settleSiblingRecoveredHold`: an exhausted hold whose run has a
verified repair receipt from a different recovery action settles as
recovered. It runs for every exhausted hold, including adoptable native
sources. A sibling marked recovered whose receipt no longer verifies
records a permanent deferral, so discovery does not reselect it.
- Deferral: when the fallback cannot settle yet, the hold records
`retainedSourceFallbackCheck` (reason, generation, count). Transient
reasons (live writer, running operation, missing stop, sandbox in use,
pending status effect, lock busy, storage failure) are checked again
after 5 minutes, at most 12 times. Permanent reasons (uncertain external
action, non-remote source) wait for new input, Retry or a new
generation. Storage or database failures after a successful read are
retryable and never recorded as "unreadable".
- New `server/src/services/workspace-recovery-fallback-discovery.ts`:
SQL for pending and due fallbacks. `retainedWorkspaceCandidates` (the
production worker's obligations sweep) and `nextWorkspaceRecoveryAt`
(its scheduler) include them, so the worker reaches old holds without
saved input.
- New `server/src/services/remote-workspace-epoch-abandonment.ts` (kept
out of `remote-workspaces.ts`, which is near 1,000 lines): authority
transition `abandonUnverifiedRemoteWorkspaceEpoch`. It clears the writer
and the dirty flag, keeps `snapshotId`, drops `location`, advances the
epoch, clears `providerRef` and the migration root, and records the
abandoned epoch. The next preparation restores the last save into a new
`<workspace>-<epoch>-<lease>` root.
- `server/src/services/workspace-recovery.ts`: hooks. An exhausted hold
first tries the sibling settlement, then the fallback (under the
existing workspace ownership lock). A fresh permanent refusal in an
attempt runs the fallback in the same pass, under the same ownership.
- `remote-workspace-transport.ts`: export the existing read-only
capture.
- `packages/shared`: optional `retainedSourceFallback` on
`ExecutionReconciliation`.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: document the fallback.
- No new polling or worker: the fallback runs inside the existing
retained-workspace recovery pass
(`rules/sleep-aware-background-work.mdc`).

Safety:

- The cross-task lease check (`retiredReusableLeasePredecessors`) is
unchanged and stays strict. Unverified files are never applied.
- No second executor: the source run, its controller and its finalizer
must be stopped. A live writer of the task or workspace, or a running
workspace operation, keeps the hold.
- No repeated external side effects: pending status effects,
non-completed or unknown API receipts, and uncertain tool invocations
keep the existing reconciliation path. The continuation keeps the
existing API receipt fences.
- Never overwrite another run's files: only the exact epoch that the
failed run wrote is abandoned, and the old root is never reused.
- Bounded and idempotent: a settled hold is never revisited. The
quarantine record is reused. A changed generation or revision leaves the
hold unchanged.

Previous-release story (`rules/upgrade-safe-run-state.mdc`): holds saved
by earlier releases carry forward. A hold saved by the Nov 3–6 releases
(`systemRecovery` exhausted with `allocation_ownership_ambiguous` /
`service_required`, board owner, old admin text) takes the fallback on
the next worker pass after deploy (restart sweep, Retry, or a new
message). No migration is needed. Refusals that do not qualify keep
today's behavior. The only new persisted shapes are additive:
`retainedSourceFallback` and `siblingWorkspaceRecovery` on the hold,
`remoteWorkspaceAbandonedEpochs` on the workspace, and a
`workspace_recovery_quarantine` operation. Earlier releases ignore them.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/workspace-recovery-fallback.test.ts` — 15 tests:
- cross-task hold, saved by the previous release and refused fresh:
continues from the checkpoint snapshot, the quarantine `.tar` holds the
unverified file, the epoch is abandoned, `getExecutionBlocker` is
`null`, the task is `todo`, explicit continuation is not blocked by
`saved_work_recovery_failed` or `workspace_repair_required`, one
reconciled continuation is delivered, and the next writer restores into
a new root while the old root keeps its files;
  - unreadable root: continues and records the reason;
- idempotency: a second pass changes nothing and delivers no second
continuation;
  - waiting user input: no second continuation;
- negatives (live writer, pending side effect, uncertain external
action, sandbox held by another lease): the hold stays, the authority is
unchanged, nothing is attached or delivered, the deferral reason and
recheck time are recorded;
- an allocation without a stop receipt is stopped (stop-only) before the
hold settles;
- the production worker (`reconcileRetainedWorkspaces` with
`obligationsOnly`) and `nextWorkspaceRecoveryAt` discover and settle an
old hold with no saved input; a transient deferral is not revisited
until due, then settles;
- an old-release hold without a Blocked receipt keeps its status; a
current hold with the receipt is restored to `todo`;
- stale exhausted hold with a sibling-saved receipt settles as
recovered; one whose sibling receipt no longer verifies is recorded and
no longer discovered;
- a newer Blocked decision is kept and no continuation is delivered,
while the file hold settles;
  - the attached copy omits `.env` and key files.
- RED: with `workspace-recovery.ts` and `system-recovery.ts` reverted to
master, all tests fail.
- Regression suites pass: `workspace-recovery-warm-handoff`,
`workspace-recovery-retry-copyback`,
`workspace-recovery-preparation-gates`, `workspace-recovery-source`,
`task-retry`, `execution-blocker-read` (288 tests), and
`workspace-recovery-admission`, `workspace-recovery-preparation*`,
`remote-workspaces.integration`, `native-failed-workspace-recovery`,
`remote-workspace-transport`, `workspace-restore-repair-route` (683
tests).
- `server` typecheck passes.

## Risks

- A task now continues without the unverified changes of its failed run.
The agent receives a note and the attached copy, so it can redo or
re-apply the work. This replaces an indefinite block.
- Abandoning an epoch on a workspace shared with a parent task also
moves the parent to the last save. This is correct: the unverified
changes are not part of the saved lineage.
- Clearing the migration root means sessions bound to the old root start
fresh. The fallback continuation already forces a fresh session.
- The quarantine capture reads a sandbox that can be shared with another
task. It writes nothing there, and it verifies the copy against
inventories taken before and after.

## Model Used

- Provider: Anthropic. Model: Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), with
tool use (shell, file edits, read-only browser for API inspection) in
Claude Code.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 db41bfcb38 fix(recovery): let an accepted Retry finish after a killed copyback owner (#19721)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run saves the agent's workspace files after the provider
turn (copyback). One controller owns copyback at a time and records a
durable owner receipt on the run (`nativeWorkspaceFinalizationOwner`)
> - When copyback of an accepted result fails, retained saved-work
recovery exports the files from the kept sandbox. A task Retry waits for
that recovery before it continues
> - A control-plane restart can kill the controller while it owns
copyback. The dead controller can never confirm its own stop, and
nothing in the retained recovery path could release its receipt
> - The recovery worker then spent one attempt on each recheck of that
receipt until it was exhausted, and the accepted Retry kept saying
"Paperclip is finishing the saved result" with no run. The task waited
forever
> - This pull request stops spending attempts on that recheck, names the
real wait, and lets the board release the exact receipt so the same
recovery and the same Retry continue
> - The benefit is that an accepted Retry never waits silently: it
finishes, or it shows one honest action that makes it finish

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19717 (same-host automatic proof for a killed copyback owner; this
PR covers the retained-recovery path and the case where no automatic
proof is possible)
Refs #19713, #19609, #19694 (related restart-recovery fixes; no overlap
in files except this doc)

**What happened?**

Two Daytona restart-chaos waves. In each, a native run's copyback failed
and the run failed with `native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted`. The
agent's result was accepted. Retained recovery started. A SIGKILL of the
control plane landed while a recovery attempt owned copyback:

- Wave s13, task t06 (Claude, crash loop): Retry was accepted at
02:30:35. A SIGKILL landed 2 s later. All later attempts failed with
`copyback_stop_unconfirmed`. After 6 attempts the recovery was
exhausted. The Retry showed `retryWait.reason = finalizing_saved_result`
for more than 15 minutes. No run was created.
- Wave s12, task t01 (Claude): attempt 1 failed with "Workspace
checkpoint payload mismatch". The SIGKILL at 01:43:54 killed the owner
of attempt 2. Attempts 3 to 5 failed with `copyback_stop_unconfirmed`.
The Retry was accepted with HTTP 2xx and produced no run.

In both kept databases the run carries an owner receipt for the killed
process.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Accept a native result and make its workspace copyback fail, so that
retained recovery owns the export.
2. Press Retry on the task.
3. Kill the control plane while a recovery attempt owns copyback, so
that its owner receipt stays on the run. Use another host, or a receipt
without automatic stop proof.
4. Let recovery run.

**Expected behavior**

Rechecking the receipt does not spend attempts. The task names the wait
and does not offer a Retry that cannot help. A board member can confirm
that the previous server stopped. The recovery then finishes, and the
waiting Retry continues by itself.

**Actual behavior**

`withNativeWorkspaceFinalizationOwnership` returned `owner_unverified`
for a retained repair without creating any board action
(`native-workspace-finalization-ownership.ts`,
`requireStopVerification`). `recoverRetainedWorkspace` reserved an
attempt for each recheck and failed it as `copyback_stop_unconfirmed`
(`workspace-recovery.ts`), until the budget was exhausted. The Retry
gate in `explicit-native-continuation.ts` returned
`finalizing_saved_result` for an accepted result with no verified
repair, with no check for this hold.
`resumeNativeWorkspaceAfterOwnerStop` accepted only an
`owner_unverified` action on a `running` run, so no route could release
the receipt of a finished run. The exhausted handoff told the board to
press Retry again, which repeats the same failure.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/workspace-recovery.ts`: when retained recovery
finds an unverifiable copyback owner, it records the recheck without
reserving an attempt. The 30-minute recovery window still bounds it. The
retained action records the exact receipt as `workspaceOwnerRecovery: {
state: "operator_required", owner }`. A newer receipt replaces the
record and clears an older confirmation.
- `server/src/services/explicit-native-continuation.ts`: a Retry that
waits for an accepted saved result reports
`workspace_owner_stop_required` when the run's active retained action
has that hold. It no longer reports `finalizing_saved_result` for this
case.
- `server/src/services/task-interruption-presentation.ts`: the new wait
has a fixed message, and Retry is not offered for it, because another
click cannot release the receipt.
-
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-owner-recovery.ts`:
the existing board route `POST
/issues/:id/recovery-actions/resume-workspace-finalization` (permission
`runtime:confirm_owner_stop`) also accepts a retained recovery action
with that hold. The confirmation must name the receipt that is still on
the run. A live owner on this host still rejects it. It clears only that
receipt, records the stop proof and an activity entry, and returns the
same recovery to the worker. A spent budget gets one new generation, as
a deliberate recovery request does. It accepts no result and starts no
agent turn. The owner check is shared with the existing path.
- `server/src/services/system-recovery.ts`: an exhausted
`copyback_stop_unconfirmed` handoff names the board confirmation instead
of another Retry.
- `ui/src/api/issues.ts`: the route receipt's `resultId` can be `null`
(a retained recovery has no live result binding).
- `doc/native-workspace-finalization-recovery.md`: an additive paragraph
describes this path.

## Verification

- Red then green on embedded Postgres:
`server/src/services/workspace-recovery-preparation-gates.test.ts`,
"lets an accepted Retry finish after a killed copyback owner instead of
waiting forever" with one case per wave (s13, s12). Each case uses a
real accepted remote export, a Retry through the HTTP route, a
killed-owner receipt, and 8 recovery passes.
- Before the fix (both cases): `attempts: 6, state: "exhausted"`. That
is the wave state.
- After the fix: no attempt is spent on the recheck. The hold is
recorded. The Retry wait is `workspace_owner_stop_required` with
`canRetry: false`. The board confirmation through the route returns 202
and clears the receipt. The same recovery completes. The same accepted
Retry then finishes the saved result (s13: the task is `done`) or
continues in exactly one new run (s12).
- `npx vitest run
src/services/workspace-recovery-preparation-gates.test.ts -t "killed
copyback owner"`: 2 passed.
- `pnpm verify` (affected selection): see the comment below. Server `tsc
--noEmit` is clean.
- No live Daytona replay. Both waves ran on old signed images. The local
proof uses the same accepted-export fixture as the existing Retry tests,
with the receipt state copied from the kept databases.

## Risks

- A copyback owner on another host that is still alive is now rechecked
within the recovery window without spending attempts. Before this change
it spent them. The window still bounds the wait.
- The board confirmation for a retained action is an operator statement,
the same as the existing owner-stop path. It is limited to roles with
`runtime:confirm_owner_stop`. It never clears a receipt other than the
one it names, and a live same-host owner still rejects it.
- #19717 changes the same ownership area and adds a UI action for the
running-run case. That UI does not show a retained action yet. After
both merge, a small follow-up can show its button for this hold. Until
then the API route and the task's wait message cover it.
- Not addressed here: the "Workspace checkpoint payload mismatch" that
started wave s12. The checkpoint outbound transfer extracts without `-p`
(`sandbox-managed-runtime.ts` checkpoint sync-out, `extractHostTarball`
in the Daytona provider), so the host umask can change file modes that
the remote manifest recorded. That is a separate signature.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, through Claude Code
with tool use (shell, file edits, test runs, embedded Postgres).

DottaandPaperclip e3fb4bc73a fix(native): recover saved listener startup failures (#19479)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native recovery must preserve saved work and respect current task
authority.
> - A closed local API listener can stop startup before a provider
starts.
> - #19462 gives new failures a bounded bootstrap retry.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #19462

**What happened?**

A restart can leave an old listener startup failure in
`terminal_failure` with `native_session_interrupted`. Startup recovery
does not claim it after #19462. A completed file recovery can also
retain its no-replay hold.

**Expected behavior**

Continue automatically when durable records prove that no provider
started, the source stopped, and the current files were saved. Keep the
existing attempt budget and normal admission checks.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Close the actual API listener after a fresh native coordinator claim.
2. Persist the old executor's generic failure. Save the workspace and
confirm source termination.
3. Restart recovery. The baseline schedules no successor. The repair
schedules one successor after all receipts pass.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Baseline: `0252421d5c`. Old failure producer: `2f35eb1080`.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source. Local macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, real embedded
PostgreSQL, independent filesystem execution. No external AI service is
used by the controlled acceptance.

## What Changed

- Recognize the exact saved local-listener guard through one proof
predicate shared by discovery and the locked transaction.
- Require a fresh first attempt, matching execution bindings, no prior
provider lineage, no provider events or tool calls, no checkpoint or
admission receipt, and no cancellation.
- Reuse current snapshot, exact stop, source block, attempt budget, and
successor idempotency checks.
- Wait for completed source file-recovery receipts. Retire only that
same source's verified preservation hold in the successor transaction.
- Bound discovery to 100 candidates per pass, keep completed history
quiet, and wake through existing transactional producer notifications.
- Retain retries after transient database and final ownership-proof
errors; advance the bounded cursor and force a rescan so a failing page
cannot hide later work.
- Let only the replacement duty discharge a proved-empty notification
during drain through its existing read-only readiness check, once per
notification generation. Keep real work and concurrent changes
outstanding without running replacement during drain.
- Wake replacement at canonical local-stop proof writes and the existing
dispatch eligibility boundary; these hints grant no new execution
authority.
- Add database regressions, scheduler quietness checks, real controller
handoff coverage, and an opt-in controlled Runner continuation.

## Verification

Final production head: `0df41b2fef2644195d1224d36984af3827da3e3b`.

Local environment: macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, TypeScript 7.0.2, Vitest
5.0.3, frozen-lockfile dependencies. Tests execute freshly;
`--fsModuleCache` reuses only content-validated module transforms.

- Native safe replacement: 62/62 PASS on isolated PostgreSQL 17 (63.18
seconds), including clean per-suite database disposal. All 62 assertions
also passed on embedded PostgreSQL 18 beta, but its Darwin cleanup hook
timed out; that invocation is not counted as a pass. Docker's disk was
full, so the disposable PostgreSQL 17 data used a size-limited RAM
mount, with no host mounts. The owned container was removed afterward.
- Actual stopped-process producer suite: 31/31 PASS. A real exited child
produces the stop receipt, and its replacement notification settles only
after the outer transaction commits.
- Workspace and separate-process drain regressions: 33/33 PASS (75.90
seconds).
- Shared coordinator and execution-control lifecycle checks: 39/39 PASS
(16.43 seconds). Pending work, concurrent changes, cold startup,
shutdown, and passive drain boundaries remain covered.
- Actual suppressed Cloud routine/drain workflow: PASS (34.64 seconds),
using the unchanged test and timeouts. Its matching local RED reproduced
CI's 462-query, zero-pending-query, one-idle-hold timeout after an
admitted write committed during drain (69.46 seconds).
- Actual historical controller handoff: PASS (48.40 seconds). A separate
controller loads the original executor from `2f35eb1080`, writes its
generic listener failure, and exits. Recovery at the final head admits
exactly one successor. The real Rust Runner and controlled Codex process
complete governed `paperclip_finish`; attempt two commits and the saved
file remains intact. Only the child loads the old artifact, and both
isolated artifacts are restored afterward. Rust source subtree
`77961b70f177ec3c38d11abcaec92fd3d0e96ec0` matches the built binary. No
external AI service is used.
- Seven corrected existing fixtures pass: transactional stop-proof calls
(5 cases) and notification inventory (2 cases). Their earlier CI
failures exposed fixture calls outside the documented transaction and an
outdated expected queue set.
- Server typecheck: PASS.

Red/green proofs also cover the original saved failure on baseline
`0252421d5c` (zero successors instead of one), held-history quietness,
bounded forward scanning through 100 parked rows and concurrent wakes,
real snapshot/cleanup producer notifications, actual issue-row lock
timeout, and task/history eligibility notifications. An obsolete
prior-run question can be skipped to request another proof check; actual
skip while the task is paused or the source owns provider tool activity
schedules no successor.

The failed-page regression starts with 25 persistent verifier errors and
a healthy candidate 26. Baseline RED repeats the first page. Repair
GREEN advances the healthy candidate, revisits the original failures
after their fault clears, creates all 26 successors exactly once, and
becomes quiet.

Greptile is SUCCESS, 5/5 on the exact final head (2026-11-06 17:09:21
UTC). Final-head CI is GREEN: 56 successful checks, three intentional
skips, one neutral result, and no pending or failing checks. [Attempt
two and
results](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42258352876/attempts/2)
include passing build, typecheck, Rust, native server, package, browser
E2E, serialized server, general server/chat tests, and final
verification. Five jobs in the first attempt were interrupted together
at 17:13:12 UTC; the native-server log records an explicit runner
shutdown signal. The single infrastructure retry reran only those five
jobs and dependent verification, preserving the 49 successful checks on
the unchanged head. No timeout was weakened, and setup failures or
interrupted invocations are not counted as passes.

Focused commands from the repository root:

```sh
./server/node_modules/.bin/vitest run --project @paperclipai/server server/src/services/remote-workspaces.integration.test.ts server/src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-preparation.integration.test.ts -t 'native safe-replacement decision|reconciles the drained remote backend' --fsModuleCache --reporter=dot
./server/node_modules/.bin/vitest run --project @paperclipai/server server/src/__tests__/execution-control-work.test.ts server/src/__tests__/delivery-work-coordinator.test.ts -t 'execution-control lifecycle|work coordinator' --fsModuleCache --reporter=dot
node node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc -p server/tsconfig.json --noEmit --pretty false
```

The historical acceptance sets `PAPERCLIP_TEST_HISTORICAL_LISTENER=1`
and uses an original-executor child artifact with a `try/finally`
restore. Normal regressions require no Rust binary.

## Risks

- Compatibility is deliberately limited to positively proved fresh
remote startup failures. Other old ambiguous failures remain held.
- Existing provider work, a changed task block, incomplete preservation,
or revoked authority must prevent execution. Normal retry admission
remains in control.
- This PR does not deploy the change or mutate a hosted task. Hosted
recovery still requires the repaired revision and all current proof
gates.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The exact backend model identifier and context window are not
exposed in this session.

51a65af9b8 fix(recovery): continue preserved preparation after process loss (#19464)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their execution state.
> - A server restart can stop workspace preparation before provider
execution.
> - Workspace recovery must preserve files before the task can continue.
> - Recovery handled interrupted preparations but skipped failed
process-loss records with the same no-provider certificate.
> - A withheld first retry could also hide the remaining retry budget.
> - This change resumes certified preparations through normal admission
after file recovery.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A process-loss attempt remained failed after workspace recovery
completed. Its first retry had been cancelled before dispatch by the
workspace hold. The task had no running attempt or automatic
continuation.

**Expected behavior**
Continue once after the server proves that provider work did not start,
file preservation completed, and the exact leases stopped. Retain the
existing failure budget and all task admission gates.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Stop a Runner preparation before native runtime selection. Record the
restart recovery bootstrap certificate.
2. Retain the workspace and withhold the first automatic retry before
dispatch.
3. Complete file preservation and restart the recovery worker.
4. Observe that the old code schedules no successor. The regression test
reproduces this with PostgreSQL and real filesystem operations.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced against master at `2f35eb1080`. Related prior work: #19422
continues saved user input after verified copy-back. This change handles
automatic continuation of certified process-loss preparation.

## What Changed

- Accept failed process-loss preparation only with the durable
no-provider bootstrap certificate and existing execution, lease and file
checks.
- Discover and settle the recovered source through the existing
preparation recovery path.
- Continue from a verified withheld retry without rewriting its history
or resetting its failure count. Adopt it only as the sole retry child;
multiple-child history reuses the newest existing child
deterministically.
- Exercise automatic dispatch, preserved-file readback, one provider
turn, accepted result and task completion in the local native-session
fixture.
- Keep a durable continuation receipt after file-hold settlement until a
successor is recorded. Known gates wait for existing eligibility events.
Unresolved delivery keeps its shared recovery deadline.
- Document the recovery and retry-budget rules.

## Verification

- Red: both new PostgreSQL/filesystem regressions failed with zero
scheduled successors where one was required.
- Green: 54 focused recovery, automatic-dispatch, interruption,
multiple-child history and admission safety cases pass on `13c27c2c2f`.
The full PostgreSQL admission adapter suite passes all 83 tests; server
source declaration typecheck also passes. Local environment: Darwin
arm64, Node 26.4.0, PostgreSQL 18.1, Vitest 5.0.3.
- Additional red/green: interruption after committed settlement,
pause/resume, failed enqueue after cursor advancement, and absence of an
earlier retry all failed before their repairs. Restart before enqueue,
restart after the successor claim, and pause/resume now preserve one
continuation. A rolled-back eligibility change cannot start execution.
Deferred and delivered records have no retry deadline.
- Local acceptance uses the real heartbeat dispatcher, isolated files
and PostgreSQL, with a simulated native provider. It reads the preserved
file, writes continued work, accepts the structured result and completes
the task once.
- Negative cases retain no-certificate, provider-evidence, live-owner,
Stop, missing-stop-receipt, wrong-snapshot, human-block, pause,
reassignment, approval and exhaustion fences.
- CI fixture regression: 4 error-propagation/concurrent-resolution cases
pass after adding the new obligation read to their transaction stubs;
existing assertions remain unchanged.
- Existing idle-drain and notification contract regressions: 4 tests
pass after restricting recovery wakes to actual durable obligations.
Late approvals block scheduled, queued and final dispatch.
- Additional existing retry-scheduling suite: 62 cases pass locally. The
pre-provider quota case exceeds its existing 5-second terminal wait on
this loaded Darwin host, including when tested alone and with the
preceding retry implementation. It remains a local timing limitation;
the assertion and timeout were not changed. All Linux CI server shards
pass on the combined head, including this unchanged suite.
- Existing run-control, legacy-recovery and shared execution-control
lifecycle suites: 128 tests pass with the review repair. Required CI
supplies final-revision broad coverage.
- Real-Codex acceptance was not run: automatic approval review rejected
authenticated provider execution because it could incur cost/external
effects and required explicit approval. No provider call ran; the
controlled-provider acceptance covers the causal restart and durable
scheduling behavior.
- Hosted acceptance and recovery of existing tasks require rollout. They
have not been claimed from the local provider fixture.
- Final-head review: Greptile 5/5 on `13c27c2c2f`, no outstanding
findings. Another contributor added the multiple-child history safety
repair in `13c27c2c2f` while CI was running. The delta was inspected and
the 54 focused recovery cases rerun successfully. Required CI passes on
that exact combined head:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42241794918. All
55 successful checks include aggregate `ci / verify`, typecheck, build,
canary, all server and E2E shards, and Runner package/Rust/static
checks. The separate Paperclip Review service check remains queued
waiting for its assigned agent; no validated assessment has been
returned.

## Risks

A malformed preparation certificate or a false no-execution receipt
could permit duplicate work. The existing checks still reject provider
execution records, native coordinators, live controllers, unsettled
leases and unverified files. The pending continuation must survive a
restart without polling known admission blockers. A withheld retry
retains its original row and consumes its remaining failure budget.
Normal admission checks current ownership, approvals, pause and budgets.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 family via Codex. The exact model ID and context window are
unavailable in session metadata. Used reasoning, code editing and tool
execution.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 629abc8509 fix(recovery): keep pending Retry unclickable and scope failure causes (#19268)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - #19260 shows the saved-work recovery step on a task, and records why
a recovery attempt failed.
> - The review of #19260 found three gaps after the PR merged.
> - A scheduled recovery offered Retry while a Retry preparation was
already pending.
> - Classified failures could get a misleading `provider_error` cause.
> - The new cause text in the board handoff had no test.
> - This pull request closes these gaps.
> - The benefit is a Retry button that matches what is allowed, and
causes that name the correct subsystem.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19260

**What happened?**
After #19260, a task with a scheduled recovery and a pending (`issued`
or `processing`) Retry preparation showed an active Retry button. The
server only coalesces the second request. Also, a failure that recovery
classified as `archive_unsafe`, `source_unavailable` or
`snapshot_verification_failed` still recorded a provider cause. The
handoff text could then read "last failure: archive_unsafe, cause:
provider_error".

**Expected behavior**
Retry is not offered while a Retry preparation is pending. Only the
generic transient fallback records a provider cause.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Request a chat Retry on a task while its saved-work recovery is
scheduled.
2. The task projection returns `retry_scheduled` with `canRetry: true`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at b1d00eec.

**Deployment mode**
Authenticated cloud deployment (staging).

## What Changed

- `task-interruption-presentation.ts`: a scheduled recovery returns
`canRetry: false` when a Retry preparation for the same run is pending
with a valid deadline.
- `workspace-recovery.ts`: a cause is recorded only for the generic
transient fallback (`provider_unavailable` or `export_interrupted` from
an unclassified error).
- Tests: presentation `canRetry` with and without a pending preparation;
the board handoff text with and without a cause.

## Verification

- `task-interruption-presentation.test.ts`,
`system-recovery-state.test.ts` and `workspace-recovery.test.ts` pass
(419 tests). One workspace-recovery case failed once under full-suite
load. It passes when it runs alone.
- Server typecheck passes.

## Risks

- Low risk. This change affects presentation and diagnostic labels only.
Retry admission still checks all gates on the server.

execution in Claude Code.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 01dd6ab336 fix(recovery): show the saved-work recovery step and record why it failed (#19260)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Sometimes a failed run left files in a sandbox. Then Retry first
runs system recovery to save those files before the task continues.
> - Recovery has steps: confirm that the previous attempt stopped, save
its files, then finish.
> - The task page did not show these steps. People saw "Queued" or
"Trying again in…" with a retry time that kept moving.
> - Each unclassified failure of the stop-confirmation step was recorded
only as `provider_unavailable`, so a repeated deferral could not be
diagnosed.
> - This pull request shows the current recovery step on the task. It
also records why each failed attempt failed, in closed labels.
> - The benefit is that people can see what Retry waits for, and
operators can see why recovery deferred.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19249

**What happened?**
A person clicked Retry on a task whose failed run had a retained
sandbox. For about 7 minutes the task showed only "Queued", and the
retry time moved forward twice. Recovery deferred twice in the
stop-confirmation step. Each deferral was recorded only as
`provider_unavailable` with an opaque fingerprint, so the cause could
not be found.

**Expected behavior**
The task shows the recovery step that it waits for, such as "Checking
that the previous attempt stopped. Trying again in 30s…". Each failed
attempt keeps a closed-label cause, for example `sandbox_not_running` or
`transport_timeout`, with an optional errno-style code and HTTP status.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Get a remote task run to fail after its sandbox was placed, so that
recovery owns saved work.
2. Click Retry while the sandbox provider does not respond to the stop
check.
3. The task shows "Queued" or "Trying again in…". The recovery evidence
records only `provider_unavailable`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at 499712c6.

**Deployment mode**
Authenticated cloud deployment (staging).

## What Changed

- `system-recovery-state.ts`: a failed attempt can keep an optional
`failure.cause` with a closed `label`, an errno-style `code` and an HTTP
`status`. The schema drops a value that does not match.
- `workspace-recovery.ts`: an unclassified failure records
`sandboxProviderFailureLabel(error)` as its cause, and the warning log
includes the label. The cause never contains provider text.
- `system-recovery.ts`: the board handoff message after exhaustion names
the last cause.
- `TaskInterruptionPresentation` has an optional `recoveryStep`:
`checking_previous_run`, `saving_previous_files` or
`finishing_recovery`. The server sets it from the recovery phase only
for a scheduled or actively running system recovery.
- `ExecutionBlockerNotice` shows the step. While recovery runs it shows
"Saving files from the previous attempt…". While a recovery retry is
scheduled it shows "Checking that the previous attempt stopped. Trying
again in 30s…". Without a recovery step, the output does not change.

## Verification

- Red, then green: the new tests in `system-recovery-state.test.ts`,
`task-interruption-presentation.test.ts` and
`ExecutionBlockerNotice.test.tsx` failed before the change and pass
after it.
- `workspace-recovery.test.ts` (380 tests) passes. Its exhausted
unknown-failure case now expects `cause: { label: "provider_error" }`.
- An ordinary scheduled retry, a working run without recovery and the
existing failed states render as before.
- Server typecheck passes. UI typecheck passes for `src`. The only UI
errors are in Storybook support files whose generated catalog is not
built locally.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passes.

## Risks

- Low risk. All new fields are optional JSON fields. No database
migration is necessary, and old records parse as before.
- This change does not change recovery behavior, retry timing or
authority. It adds presentation and diagnostics only.
- The cause label uses the existing closed transport label set. An
unrecognized error is recorded as `provider_error`.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 b8e8ab4641 fix(recovery): continue saved input after a recovered sandbox stops, not after its destroy (#19224)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A board user can stop or interrupt a native run and send a message
for the next turn
> - When the stop leaves sandbox files unsaved, automatic recovery saves
them, re-stops the sandbox, and the saved message continues
> - For agents whose sandbox is destroyed after each turn (an ephemeral
lease), recovery then queues the destroy. That step removed the lease's
stop receipt
> - The continuation gate waits for a stop receipt, so the message
waited for the destroy and its cleanup retry, about 5 to 8 minutes
> - Agents with retained sandboxes continued within seconds, so the
delay looked agent specific
> - This pull request keeps the verified stop on the cleanup lease and
lets the continuation and the next remote writer accept it
> - The benefit is that a redirect, Retry or interrupt continues right
after its files are saved, for every lease policy

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19206

**What happened?**
On hosted staging, a Stop or `interrupt: true` comment on a native run
left a follow-up turn that started 5 to 8 minutes later for some agents,
and 25 to 40 seconds later for others. The slow agents use ephemeral
sandbox leases. In each slow case, the stopped run's lease was released
by `pending_cleanup_retry` about 5 minutes after recovery, and the saved
message started one second later. The fast agents use retained leases,
which recovery releases at once.

**Expected behavior**
The saved message continues right after recovery saves the files and the
sandbox is stopped. The destroy of a stopped sandbox is resource cleanup
and must not hold the next turn.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use an agent whose sandbox lease is ephemeral (destroy after each
turn).
2. Interrupt or stop its native run so that recovery must save the
sandbox files.
3. Post a message. See the follow-up start only after the sandbox
destroy finishes.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Hosted, at `56517dda`.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/workspace-recovery.ts`:
`scheduleRecoveredWorkspaceCleanup` keeps the verified stop receipt as
`workspaceRecoveryCleanup.stopReceipt` when it queues the destroy.
- `server/src/services/remote-execution-termination.ts`: new
`hasRecoveredCleanupStopReceipt(lease)`. It is true only when the lease
has recovery cleanup for its own run, was released, and the carried
receipt matches the lease, run, provider and provider lease id.
- `server/src/services/explicit-native-continuation.ts`: the
`remote_cleanup` gate accepts that receipt.
- `server/src/services/execution-blocker.ts`: `hasPendingRunCleanup`
ignores a lease with that valid receipt, so a saved native interrupt
send (and Retry or fresh-workspace checks) does not wait for the
destroy. Other cleanup holds are unchanged.
- `server/src/services/remote-workspaces.ts`: the next remote writer
accepts that receipt for the ended writer's lease.
- `server/src/services/execution-blocker.ts` (from #19206 review, not in
the merged head): pre-turn evidence uses the exact startup lifecycle
event list, so turn-scoped events such as `workspace.diff.recorded`
count as provider work.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describes the rule.

## Verification

- Red before the fix, green after: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts -t "admits the interrupt
redirect"`. An interrupted native run with recovered files and a queued
destroy blocked the user message with `remote_cleanup` before the fix.
After the fix the message is admitted. A lease without the stop receipt,
or with a receipt for another run, still blocks with `remote_cleanup`.
The test runs the same input as a plain message and as a saved native
interrupt send (`queuedCommentInterruptId`); `hasPendingRunCleanup` was
true before the fix and blocked the interrupt send with
`cleanup_pending`.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/remote-workspace-reservation.test.ts -t "ended writer"`:
the next writer reserves the workspace from an ended writer whose
recovered lease awaits destroy; a missing or foreign receipt still
blocks. Removing the new branch fails the positive case.
- Updated `saves the authoritative remote workspace after native failed
...`: Retry now continues before the destroy, and the cleanup lease
carries the stop receipt for its run and lease.
- `workspace-recovery.test.ts -t "provider work cannot be excluded"`
includes `workspace.diff.recorded` as provider work.
- Related suites pass: `workspace-recovery.test.ts`,
`explicit-native-continuation.test.ts`,
`remote-workspace-reservation.test.ts`,
`remote-workspaces.integration.test.ts`,
`remote-workspace-lifecycle.test.ts`, `task-retry*.test.ts`,
`native-cancelled-workspace-preservation.test.ts`,
`workspace-recovery-source.test.ts`. `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit`
passes.
- Hosted evidence (read only): slow cases have ephemeral leases released
by `pending_cleanup_retry` about 5 minutes after
`issue.workspace_recovered`, with settlement one second later. Fast
cases have retained leases released by recovery.

## Risks

- Low to medium. The next turn can start while the old stopped sandbox
is still being destroyed. The receipt proves that the sandbox was
stopped after the files were saved, and an ephemeral successor uses a
new sandbox. A destroy failure stays with the existing cleanup retry.
- Leases without the carried receipt behave as before.

execution in Claude Code.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 f5891564ec fix(recovery): continue from a retired sandbox's backup and hand spent export repairs to the board (#19208)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native tasks keep a warm sandbox and a verified per-turn backup of
the provider session.
> - Recovery holds stop a task when continuation is not safe. They must
have a next action and an owner.
> - In a staging soak, two kinds of held tasks could not move forward.
Users followed the product's own instruction, and nothing changed.
> - First, a reply to a task whose warm sandbox Paperclip had already
destroyed failed every time. The label then said "Send a message to
continue" again.
> - Second, an exhausted system workspace repair stayed active and
system-owned for hours. The board saw no owner, and a reply started
nothing.
> - This pull request lets a reply continue from the backup when the
source sandbox is provably gone, and hands a spent system repair to the
board with a named Retry.
> - The benefit is that productive work always has a next action that
can succeed, and nothing replays or runs twice.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
(a) A native warm task ran one successful turn. A later legacy follow-up
retired the warm sandbox lease. The next user reply got a new sandbox
(`created` lease). The executor found a verified backup but no reusable
lease, so it threw `runner_harness_state_mismatch:
backup_without_reusable_lease`. The run retried on the restart-recovery
path, failed `native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch`, and ended as
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`. Workspace recovery then
said "Saved work recovered. Send a message to continue." Each new reply
repeated the same failure.
(b) A run failed `native_workspace_sync_out_retry_exhausted`. System
workspace recovery used its 6 bounded attempts and became `exhausted`.
The recovery action stayed `active` with `ownerType: system`. The UI
hides system-owned recovery actions, so the board saw no action. Nothing
ran for more than two hours.

**Expected behavior**
(a) When Paperclip destroyed the source sandbox and no provider work
followed the backup, the reply continues once from the backup. Ambiguous
states still fail closed.
(b) When the bounded budget is spent, the action names a board owner and
a Retry action that can progress it.

**Steps to reproduce**
(a) Finish a warm native turn. Retire its reusable lease through
obsolete-lease cleanup. Send a reply. The new run gets a `created` lease
and fails `backup_without_reusable_lease`.
(b) Let system workspace recovery reach its deadline or retry limit.
Read the recovery action. It is still `ownerType: system`.

Related merged work checked first: #19145, #19184, #19187, #19189,
#19190, #18943 (added the guard for migrated sessions). Open recovery
PRs (`gh pr list --search recovery --state open`) do not touch these
paths.

## What Changed

- `native-retired-backup-source.ts` (new):
`retiredSourceAuthorizesNativeBackupRestore` decides whether a created
lease may restore the backup. All must be true: the backup's source
lease is `expired` or `failed`; it has a provider termination receipt
with state `destroyed`; its `nativeHarnessBackup` stamp names this exact
manifest SHA-256, session and runner instance; exactly one host lease
maps to the provider allocation; and no provider durable event for the
session was recorded after the backup completed. The provider event type
set moved here and the executor imports it.
- `native-session-executor.ts`:
`shouldRestoreNativeHarnessBackupIntoSandbox` accepts
`retiredSourceContinuation`. A created lease with a configured reusable
lease evaluates it, beside the existing migrated-session path. The
restore uses the existing verified restore and stamps the new lease.
- `system-recovery.ts`: `updateSystemRecovery` moves an `exhausted`
action to `ownerType: board` and writes a next action and workspace
recovery message that name the attempt count, the last failure code, and
**Retry recovery**. Retry (`requestWorkspaceRecovery`) already starts a
new bounded generation and returns ownership to the system.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: documents both rules.

## Verification

- Red before the fix, green after:
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "restores
a warm backup into a created lease only when"`. Before: the
destroyed-source case rejected with `runner_harness_state_mismatch:
backup_without_reusable_lease`. After: it restores the runner state and
provider home into the new sandbox and stamps the new lease.
- `npx vitest run src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts -t "hands an
exhausted system export repair"`. Before: `exhausted` with `ownerType:
"system"`. After: `ownerType: "board"`, the blocker says Retry recovery
and never says "send a message", no provider run or lease resume
happens, and Retry starts one new system generation.
- Safety cases (fail closed): a stopped (not destroyed) source, a stamp
for another checkpoint, provider work after the backup, a still-reusable
`released` lease, a missing receipt, and two host leases for one
allocation. These run in the executor test and in
`native-retired-backup-source.integration.test.ts` against embedded
Postgres.
- Related suites pass: `workspace-recovery.test.ts`,
`system-recovery-state.test.ts`, `native-session-executor.test.ts`,
`task-retry.test.ts`, `explicit-native-continuation.test.ts`,
`workspace-recovery-source.test.ts`,
`native-workspace-export-retry.test.ts`,
`native-remote-retry-admission.test.ts`,
`native-workspace-warm-reuse.test.ts`,
`native-workspace-sync-retention.test.ts`,
`heartbeat-observed-workspace-preservation.test.ts`,
`execution-control-work.test.ts` (2,224 tests).
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` passes.
- Not done: a live run against staging. Staging access was read-only.
The staging evidence is the run event timeline described above.

## Risks

- (a) A backup restore after a lost sandbox could rewind a session if
newer provider state existed. The predicate requires a provider
`destroyed` receipt and no provider event after the checkpoint. A
stopped sandbox, a pending cleanup, or a still-reusable lease still
fails closed with the old error.
- (a) The event-time check can fail closed if a late event from the
backup turn is written after the checkpoint time. That keeps the old
behavior; it never authorizes a restore.
- (b) The action's next action text stays as the exhausted message while
a later Retry generation runs. The task blocker shows the live workspace
recovery message first, so users see "Recovering saved work…" during
that time.
- Not changed: when the predicate fails closed, the run still follows
the existing reconciliation path. That path can still end with the "Send
a message to continue" receipt. That residual is narrower now and needs
a separate change to the workspace recovery receipt.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 07a2941f0c fix(recovery): reclaim verified inactive provider caches on full disks (#19192)
Recover from a full-disk workspace save by reclaiming only a verified inactive provider installation under the existing source and maintenance authority. Commit the preparation inventory in Core before changing cache contents. Bind interrupted cleanup to stable filesystem identities and keep small staged generation markers when directory birth times are unavailable.

Skip read-only or permission-denied assets and stop freeing blocks once marker space is available. Preserve task files, Git, session history and uncertain action receipts. Only the normal saved-workspace and provider-stop receipts permit continuation.

Validated with 446 complete recovery regressions on the repair revision, subsequent focused recovery and transport suites, typecheck/build, and all exact-head hosted CI. Greptile reviewed the final head at 5/5 with no unresolved findings.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 46fb933b01 fix(recovery): keep the stop receipt when a file-preserving restart fails (#19181)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs can execute in a remote sandbox. When a run fails,
Paperclip stops the sandbox and records the provider's stop receipt on
the environment lease.
> - System workspace recovery can restart that stopped sandbox to save
its files. Before the restart, it removed the stop receipt from the
lease.
> - If the restart failed and the provider could not stop the sandbox
after that, the lease had no receipt. Continuation admission requires a
stop receipt on every remote lease of the failed run. So every Retry and
every comment waited for an environment that never stopped.
> - This pull request keeps the original receipt until the provider
confirms the restart. It restores the receipt when the restart fails and
the sandbox cannot stop. A restart that fails because the sandbox disk
is full now ends recovery with a fresh-workspace outcome.
> - The benefit is that a failed file-preserving restart no longer
blocks the task permanently. Saved input and Retry continue in a fresh
isolated workspace, and the original sandbox stays retained.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. This is a bug report in the format of
`bug_report.yml`.

**What happened?**

1. A native run failed because its Daytona sandbox filled its 10 GB
disk.
2. Paperclip stopped the sandbox normally and recorded the stop receipt
on the environment lease.
3. Some minutes later, system workspace recovery tried to restart the
sandbox to preserve its files. Before the restart,
`prepareStoppedSandboxForRecovery` deleted the stop receipt.
4. The restart failed on the full disk. The sandbox went into the
provider's `error` state.
5. The stop-only teardown after the failed restart also failed, because
the provider cannot stop a sandbox in that state. The lease stayed in
`pending_cleanup` with no receipt. The cleanup sweep retried the same
failing stop with backoff.
6. `admitExplicitNativeContinuation` requires a provider stop receipt on
every remote lease of the failed run. Every Retry and every comment was
deferred with "Waiting for the previous environment to stop. Your
message will start automatically." The message never started.

Also, after recovery was exhausted, a Retry replaced the exhausted
generation with a new one. That generation repeated the same restart,
and the Retry still reported success.

**Expected behavior**

A lease must not lose its stop receipt while the real sandbox state is
unknown or not running. When the file-preserving restart cannot succeed,
recovery must end in a state that lets the task continue, for example in
a fresh isolated workspace.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use a native run with a retained remote sandbox lease that has a
`stopped` receipt and a pending workspace recovery.
2. Make the provider resume fail (for example with `no space left on
device`), and make the provider stop fail.
3. Run `recoverRetainedWorkspace` until recovery is exhausted.
4. Save a user comment on the task and run the deferred-comment
admission.
5. Before this change, the lease is `pending_cleanup` without a receipt.
The comment stays deferred with reason `remote_cleanup`, and no
successor run starts.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on a hosted staging build. Reproduced on `master` at
`6452e964a36` with the new tests in this PR.

**Deployment mode**

Hosted, with the Daytona sandbox provider plugin. The defect is in core
server recovery code, so it is not specific to one adapter.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/sandbox-stop-and-retain.ts`
- `prepareStoppedSandboxForRecovery` still writes the stop-only intent
and moves the lease to `pending_cleanup` before the provider call. It
now keeps the prior `remoteExecutionTermination` (and
`sandboxStopAndRetainReceipt`, if present) as `priorStop` inside the
`sandboxStopAndRetain` intent.
- New `confirmSandboxRecoveryRestart` removes `priorStop` when the
provider resume returns. From that point, the sandbox may be running,
and only a fresh stop can settle the lease.
- New `restoreSandboxStopAfterFailedRestart` restores the prior receipts
and the `released` / `success` lease state. It works only while
`priorStop` is present, so only when no restart was confirmed. It checks
the restored receipt with `hasRemoteTerminationReceipt` first. It uses
the same attempt fence as `settleStopOnlyCleanup`, and it writes through
`writeEnvironmentCleanup` so dispatch and cleanup wake up.
- `settleStopOnlyCleanup` now shares that attempt fence
(`stopOnlyAttempt`). Its behavior does not change.
- `server/src/services/workspace-recovery.ts`
- After `resumeWorkspaceRecoveryLease` returns, recovery confirms the
restart before any other check.
- If the restart is not confirmed, recovery still tries the stop-only
teardown first. A successful stop records a fresh receipt, as before. If
the stop also fails, recovery restores the prior receipt instead of
leaving the lease without one.
- A later attempt that finds a pending stop-only lease (for example
after a process restart during the reopen) uses the same rule when its
stop fails.
- A resume error that reports a full sandbox disk (`No space left on
device` or `Disk quota exceeded`) becomes `source_unavailable` /
`use_alternative_strategy`. The generation is exhausted at once, and the
existing fresh-workspace continuation applies. Other resume errors keep
the existing bounded retry policy (`provider_unavailable`, at most six
attempts in 30 minutes). Because the receipt stays, that policy also
ends in a state that lets the task continue.
- `server/src/services/task-retry.ts`: Retry binds to an exhausted
generation with a `use_alternative_strategy` failure and no fresh
attempt, the same way it binds to a complete or running generation. It
does not create a new generation that repeats a step the policy already
rejected. The Retry continues in a fresh isolated workspace. An explicit
workspace recovery request (`requestWorkspaceRecovery`) still starts a
new generation.
- `doc/task-recovery.md`: describes the receipt handling around the
reopen and the Retry binding.
- `server/src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts`: four new tests (five
cases) with the real database and mocked provider calls.

### Design choice

I kept the existing write-ahead fence. The lease still leaves `released`
and shows no receipt while the provider reopen is in progress. So no
admission, reuse or destructive cleanup can act in that window, and a
crash still leaves a stop-only obligation. The original receipt is not
deleted. It stays in the stop-only intent and is discarded only when the
provider confirms the restart. This makes one simple rule: the suspended
receipt exists only while no restart has been confirmed.

I did not use "restore only when the provider confirms that the sandbox
is not running". The Daytona plugin reports a sandbox in the `error`
state as `active` in `inspectLease`, and its `stopLease` cannot stop
that state. So with the current plugin, no provider confirmation exists
for this exact failure, and the hold would stay. A separate change to
the Daytona plugin's `stopLease` can recover an errored sandbox before
it stops it. This PR does not depend on that change. If that change
lands and its recovery succeeds, the existing stop attempt records a
fresh receipt, and the restore path is not used.

I also did not change continuation admission to accept a lease in
`pending_cleanup`. Many gates treat pending cleanup as unfinished work
(`hasPendingRunCleanup`, the remote stop check and others). A change
there would be wider and more sensitive.

The restored receipt is the provider's original receipt, bound to the
same company, run, lease, provider, allocation and plugin. No process ID
or run status takes its place.

## Verification

All commands ran from `server/` in a clean worktree of `master` on macOS
(Apple Silicon), with the embedded PostgreSQL test database. Vitest ran
from the real path.

- Baseline on `master` (`6452e964a36`), before any change: `npx vitest
run src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts` → exit 0, 331 passed.
- The new tests fail on `master`. I reverted only the three source files
and kept the new tests:
- `npx vitest run src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts -t
"file-preserving restart fails|without repeating a restart|keeps the
stop obligation once|interrupted restart that the provider"` → exit 1, 4
failed, 1 passed.
- In the comment cases, no successor run starts (`expected [] to have a
length of 1`). A temporary log (not committed) showed the lease in
`pending_cleanup` in both cases. In the `unknown_failure` case, the
comment was deferred with `remote_cleanup` / "Waiting for the previous
environment to stop. Your message will start automatically." This is the
same hold as in the incident.
- The guard test "keeps the stop obligation once the provider has
confirmed a restart" passes on `master`, as expected. It makes sure that
the fix does not restore a receipt after a confirmed restart.
- With this change, the same command → exit 0, 5 passed.
- `npx vitest run src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts` on the
committed head → exit 0, 336 passed (331 existing and 5 new).
- Neighboring suites (`task-retry`, `explicit-native-continuation`,
`heartbeat/recovery`, `environment-runtime`, and the other server test
files that import the changed modules: `live-recovery-work`,
`retained-native-session-cleanup-work`, `execution-control-work`,
`legacy-workspace-restore-recovery`, `deferred-execution-receipt-work`,
`issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes`,
`native-workspace-export-retry`,
`native-cancelled-workspace-preservation`,
`native-workspace-warm-reuse`, `native-workspace-reconstruction`,
`native-failed-workspace-recovery`, `heartbeat/workspace-preparation`) →
exit 0, 16 files, 1456 passed.
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/chat-channels.integration.test.ts
src/__tests__/slack-conversation-lifecycle.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/preserved-native-response-wait.integration.test.ts`
(other importers of `task-retry`) → exit 0, 3 files, 2074 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` → exit 0.
- Not run: the full `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm test:run` and `pnpm
build` repo checks. CI runs them. No live Daytona probe ran.

New tests:

- `lets saved input continue after a file-preserving restart fails on a
sandbox that cannot stop` (`disk_full`, `unknown_failure`): resume fails
and stop fails. The lease keeps its original receipt and is `released` /
`success`. Recovery is exhausted (after one attempt for a full disk, and
after six attempts for an unknown failure). The saved comment starts one
successor run with `fresh_isolated_workspace` readiness. The source
files stay in the retained sandbox.
- `continues a Retry in a fresh workspace without repeating a restart
that cannot succeed`: after a full-disk exhaustion, Retry keeps the same
generation and binds its intent. The restart is not called again, and
the Retry starts one run in a fresh isolated workspace.
- `keeps the stop obligation once the provider has confirmed a restart`:
resume returns, a later check fails, and the stop fails. The lease stays
`pending_cleanup` without a receipt, and the intent has no `priorStop`.
- `restores the stop receipt after an interrupted restart that the
provider never confirmed`: the lease starts in `pending_cleanup` with a
suspended receipt, as after a process restart during the reopen. The
stop fails, the receipt is restored, and the attempt continues to the
normal reopen.

Assumption and limits (runtime dependency rule): the provider calls are
mocked, and the database is real. The tests do not exercise the real
Daytona error text. The full-disk check matches the patterns that
Paperclip already uses for sandbox disk-full errors. If the provider
error text does not match, recovery uses the bounded retry path, which
now also ends in a fresh-workspace continuation. The change adds one
database write after each confirmed reopen and one after a failed reopen
and stop. It adds no polling.

## Risks

- A resume can fail after the provider started the sandbox, for example
when the reply is lost. If the stop-only teardown then also fails,
recovery restores a `stopped` receipt for a sandbox that can be running.
The old run's processes do not survive the earlier stop, so the receipt
is still correct as proof that the old execution ended. But the retained
sandbox can run until the provider stops it or a later recovery or
cleanup stops it. Before this change, the same case caused a permanent
hold.
- A full-disk restart failure now exhausts recovery at once. The task
continues in a fresh workspace without the failed run's files. The files
stay in the retained sandbox. An operator can still request workspace
recovery explicitly after the disk is freed.
- Retry no longer renews an exhausted generation that has a
`use_alternative_strategy` failure and no fresh attempt. For destroyed
or missing sources, the result is the same as before but without the
extra attempt.
- No schema or migration change. A suspended receipt is one extra field
in the existing `sandboxStopAndRetain` metadata. Older servers ignore
the field. The intent equality checks compare the stored value, so a
mixed-version deploy keeps working.
- #18820 also changes `server/src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts`.
The two PRs touch different tests.

7d1e9b3477 fix(recovery): retain exact warm native export sources (#17916)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native task recovery must save unfinished workspace exports before
continuation.
> - A prepared export can still refer to a sandbox with a warm reuse
policy.
> - The strict recovery inspector rejects that policy and exhausts
source verification.
> - Ordinary reuse must not give the same unfinished allocation to
another run.
> - An existing user Retry can authorize bounded file maintenance after
exact ownership checks.
> - This change retains that exact source and preserves the original
failure record.
> - Recovery completes only when files, stop evidence and policy
settlement agree.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A failed native run has a prepared `keep_running` workspace export. Its
exact sandbox lease still has `reuse_by_environment` policy. Native
export cleanup can preserve that policy while it stops the sandbox.
Generic workspace recovery then rejects the source with
`lease_policy_not_retained`. A saved user Retry remains blocked before
file export.

**Expected behavior**

Keep unfinished exports out of ordinary warm reuse. With current user
authority and an unchanged saved Retry, retain the exact source for one
bounded maintenance generation. Preserve files and return continuation
to normal admission. Keep all ambiguous sources held.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Prepare a native workspace export with a warm sandbox and
`keep_running` disposition.
2. Save a normal board Retry for the failed source run.
3. Persist its first exhausted source-verification failure before file
export.
4. Run the normal maintenance worker. Before this change, source policy
rejection leaves the saved files unrestored.

Refs #17773 for source diagnostics. Related #17839 records a missing
preservation obligation during blocked restart. This change handles an
existing prepared warm export whose verification already failed.

## What Changed

- Exclude unfinished physical allocations from reuse and obsolete-lease
cleanup across every historical lease row. Reuse a clean candidate or
acquire a fresh sandbox through normal selection. Preserve exact
same-run reattachment, workspace-less execution and ordinary task
admission checks.
- Preserve the newer prepared remote-workspace writer proof for native
and legacy runs. Share its binding check between single-source recovery
and one batched allocation read.
- Keep persisted recovery-action IDs when constructing continuation
source checks. Synthetic sources cannot grant snapshot receipt
authority.
- Permit one audited maintenance adoption for the first exhausted
source-verification attempt. Require an unadmitted canonical saved board
Retry, current user authority, unchanged assignment and latest source
run.
- Keep all company, source, allocation, workspace writer, controller and
physical finalization ownership checks. The public read-only inspector
keeps its strict policy check.
- Pin the exact source for file maintenance. Preserve the previous
generation and reuse the existing bounded recovery worker. Create no
provider turn or new user request.
- Restore the warm policy in the same transaction as verified native
copyback completion. A failed write or changed settlement keeps a
recovery obligation.
- When local merge metadata is missing, settle the exact verified
snapshot while keeping its unfinished allocation retained. Deliver the
saved Retry through normal fresh isolation and attach the verified
files. Keep the accepted result as history.
- Require native copyback proof before reopening an accepted result's
original workspace finalizer.
- Validate snapshot receipts through one shared boundary for warm,
retained and ephemeral sources. Bind the receipt to the current
generation's operation IDs, company, issue, run, recovery action, lease
and provider allocation.
- Retire fixture input before removing recovery proof, and use the same
configured heartbeat for HTTP and worker dispatch. Keep the exact
catalog refusal and no-provider-work assertions.
- Document the recovery contract in technical documentation. Leave
capability maps unchanged for this bug fix.

## Verification

- Candidate-selection RED: all six clean-candidate and fresh-allocation
controls fail on unchanged `f54e7baf538` because a pending export aborts
the whole acquisition. GREEN: the focused suite passes **15/15 cases**
after candidate filtering. Both provider paths preserve the protected
lease and never resume or destroy its allocation. Obsolete fingerprints
cannot send that allocation to cleanup. Historical-row fencing, modern
native/legacy writers, exact same-run reuse, workspace-less execution
and the single-read allocation-history check remain covered.
- The existing reusable-runtime selection cases passed **40/40**.
Driver/capability contract suites passed **5/5**. Reusable service
controls passed **2/2**. After merging current master, the combined
lease/provider suites pass 61 cases and the recovery integration
selection passes 36 cases, including the upstream inherited-session and
resolved-interruption assertions. This gives 97 passing targeted cases
on the final source. A duplicate test-app declaration from the automatic
merge was removed while retaining the upstream assertions.
- The source-history repair has meaningful red/green evidence: three
valid retired-handoff cases could not complete under the old blanket
history-row rejection. Settlement now uses the same full source
inspector as adoption. It accepts exact retired handoffs and still
rejects a predecessor that becomes active after export. The 26 focused
history, rollback, snapshot and ambiguity cases passed before this last
merge.
- Server typecheck passes on the final merged source. Module boundaries
and `git diff --check` pass. Full local repository tests and a
successful current-head full build are not claimed. Current-head CI is
complete on `0ef974d76483e11fb0b0304bcb05bbd3b56e2ef9`: both required
gates pass, with 54 successful checks, three expected skips, one neutral
Paperclip review check and a successful security status. [Full CI
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41904339370).
Greptile reviewed that exact head at **5/5** with no actionable
findings. Its check completed successfully. [Ponytail also reviewed the
exact head at
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/17916#issuecomment-6640083408).
No review threads remain unresolved, and the branch is mergeable.
- Earlier local broad runs exposed a dropped recovery-action ID in the
merged source projection and deferred test input being revisited after
its records were removed. Both were repaired. Later local disk
exhaustion caused manifest and saved-file reserve failures; generated
caches were removed only from these checkouts. The affected saved-file
control passed unchanged after cleanup. The original logs are retained.
No disk reserve or timeout was lowered.
- On the prior head, the first [full CI
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41899038530)
received simultaneous runner shutdowns. Four jobs were cancelled, and
two late jobs have lost-runner annotations with unavailable logs. The
Runner job had five earlier ACPX failures whose full assertion report
was lost on interruption. Their cause remains unproven. Identical Runner
source passed the [#19004
control](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41898305521/job/126814429725),
including all seven enabled tests in that file.
- That attempt's [browser
shard](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41899038530/job/126817404595)
returned to the exact saved task URL, but its conversation was still
loading at the unchanged heading deadline. The
[artifact](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41899038530/artifacts/13358840931)
is retained. All five Cloud-auth cases passed locally on the unchanged
head and in the [same-source CI
control](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41898305521/job/126814429966).
The delay remains unexplained. One rerun of failed/interrupted jobs was
submitted after the workflow completed. This new source revision
requires fresh CI.
- The earlier [original-head
workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40552228175)
passed all 48 jobs, and prior head `f54e7baf538` received Greptile 5/5.
These results do not establish readiness for the new head. The earlier
Superagent scan was neutral after a pinned-base checkout failure; its
external analysis remains unverified.
- These tests use real PostgreSQL and controlled provider boundaries.
Hosted rollout and original-task acceptance remain unverified.


## Risks

- Maintenance can resume and stop the exact sandbox for file export. It
cannot admit a provider turn, choose another allocation or bypass normal
continuation gates.
- A saved Retry alone is insufficient. A changed source, newer run,
active writer, competing lease, lost user authority or previous adoption
keeps the hold.
- Policy restoration can fail. Completion and restoration now commit
together, so normal recovery remains responsible for a retry.
- Snapshot preservation cannot repair missing local merge metadata. Its
old allocation remains explicitly retained. A snapshot receipt grants no
permission to reuse or destroy that allocation, or to replay the
accepted result.
- The allocation check uses one projected join per candidate over the
existing provider lease index. It adds no polling timer or recurring
scan. A fresh fallback can create another sandbox while the unfinished
source remains retained; it grants no authority to execute a provider
turn.
- This change does not establish the cause of a prior provider failure
or prove that any specific hosted sandbox still contains its original
files.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, for the original change. OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol
(`gpt-6.1-sol`), xhigh reasoning, for the merge and integration repairs.

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

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Builds on merged #18826 and #18835.

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

execution. This session does not expose a more specific serving model ID

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

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

**Deployment mode**

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 5e4cc01073 feat(workspaces): keep remote files off the webserver disk (#18403)
Keep native sandbox workspace files independent of the webserver disk. Use encrypted saved versions and Postgres ownership so a replacement server can recover files and continue work. Enable the path by default for new eligible workspaces when durable storage is configured.

Preserve explicit opt-outs and existing host workspaces. Include safe snapshot repair, Files access, import, migration and retention. Bound saved-Files resources, preserve imported Git recovery, reject unfinished Git operations, publish immutable concurrent captures, and verify permanent object-version deletion.

Validated 471 targeted local controls, build/typechecks, all 40 CI partitions, fresh Greptile 5/5 and security review. The PR records original failed attempts and scoped retries.

DottaandPaperclip ed8fae8dbb fix(workspaces): preserve completed shallow sandbox exports (#18221)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip coordinates agent work and preserves its results.
> - Remote execution copies completed workspace changes back to the
host.
> - An agent can fetch a published branch with shallow Git history.
> - A full Git bundle omits the shallow boundary metadata and can fail
host connectivity checks.
> - This pull request carries the boundaries through the full-bundle
fallback and imports through normal Git fetch.
> - Recovery must also recognize completed native work on a reusable
lease without treating it as ordinary executor reuse.
> - Completed work can be saved without another provider turn, while
existing host history remains connected.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Sandbox finalization can fail with a missing parent commit after an
agent checks out a separately fetched shallow branch. Re-exporting a
full bundle repeats the failure because Git bundles do not encode
shallow boundaries.

**Expected behavior**
Import the completed branch and saved files. Preserve existing host
ancestry and concurrent host edits. Keep normal Git connectivity and
workspace merge checks.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Prepare a sandbox from one host commit.
2. Fetch a different published branch with depth one and check it out.
3. Save a result file and restore the sandbox workspace.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced against master before this repair. The regression fails with
the missing-parent error before the production change.

Related public context: #15268 covers rewritten history integration.
This repair handles shallow bundle transport before integration.
Searches found no equivalent open repair.

## What Changed

- Export shallow boundaries beside the full bundle when the delta import
lacks history.
- Unpack into a temporary shared bare repository. Keep parent
connections already available on the host and import with Git's shallow
fetch protocol.
- Reject malformed boundary values and retain existing connectivity,
branch, and concurrent-work merge guards. Keep boundary probes within 15
seconds without consuming the separate 60-second Git import budget.
- Let source-bound preservation recover reusable leases only for the
finalizer-selected, accepted successful native result and matching
completion contract. Retain provider-stop, physical ownership and
host-writer checks; ordinary reusable sources remain blocked.
- Classify invalid Git metadata separately from omittable unsafe
archives. Keep native finalization failed and preserve service-owned
file recovery; carry the sender's dedicated rejection across the command
boundary without transient retries.
- Share the failure allowlist across bounded run/activity projections
and cancelled-preservation selection. Migration `0416` rebuilds the
matching partial index; task chat retains the non-retryable recovery
notice.
- Add real Git, filesystem sandbox and database recovery regressions.
Update execution semantics and affected verification maps.

## Verification

- Red: real filesystem sandbox restore failed with the same
missing-parent/revision-walk error before the export repair.
- Green: 240 focused Git, workspace restore, sandbox transport and
native-finalization tests pass. Coverage includes both transfer paths,
malformed/oversized metadata, a genuinely shallow host with its original
boundary intact, and concurrent host work with both merge parents
verified.
- Red/green: a 14-second simulated probe left the final real Git fetch
only 45,893 ms before the budget split. It now retains over 55 seconds
after the probes; a 16-second probe exhausts its own budget before host
import.
- Red/green: an oversized read progress report was retried three times
before its distinct metadata classification. It now aborts the first
read before payload consumption, leaves the host tip unchanged and does
not retry.
- Red/green: the real metadata error was swallowed by best-effort export
and native finalization incorrectly returned success. Both regressions
now pass; all 240 focused Git/restore/native-finalization tests pass. A
PostgreSQL/filesystem fault-injection test also verifies retained files,
failed run, service-owned recovery barrier, no preservation receipt and
no new wake.
- Red/green: duplicate metadata produced 47 Git process starts before
deduplication; the bounded-work regression now passes. Oversized byte
and boundary inputs fail before Git probes.
- Recovery red: both reusable lease policies exhausted recovery despite
a selected accepted successful result. The assembled
PostgreSQL/filesystem path now passes for retained and both reusable
policies, including idempotent re-admission after exhausted automatic
recovery, saved files, no agent wake, and once-only existing-result
finalization.
- Source verification controls reject ordinary reusable leases,
rejected/failed/unselected results, another physical allocation owner,
and an active host writer without changing recorded state.
- The 78-test PostgreSQL/filesystem recovery/source suite passed before
the metadata classification correction. Its new persisted
metadata-failure regression also passes. Full workspace typecheck and
build pass at final head `69f10daab2`.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check` pass.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` attempts did not finish. They are not
counted as passes. Early focused runs exceeded 5-second and 30-second
fixture deadlines; the final serial suite passed all 176 tests with a
30-second per-test budget in 56.8 seconds.
- Red/green: both bounded PostgreSQL projections dropped the new code in
oversized results. All 19 source/projection cases now pass, plus an
actual index-predicate test that excludes a metadata repair hold and
still selects ordinary cancelled work.
- Red/green: an oversized sender `.git/shallow` lost its error type
before host validation. The real transport test now verifies one typed
rejection, no shallow-payload read, and an unchanged host tip. All 465
command/sandbox/task-chat tests pass, and token/migration gates pass.
- Full typecheck/build pass after these final contract corrections at
`69f10daab2`; all 20 PostgreSQL source/projection/index contracts pass.
All current-head CI checks passed; Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved
review threads. Merged #18230 supplies the CI-cache and Linux
shell-fixture baseline repairs; their duplicate changes have been
removed from this PR. The final Runner lane passed after one justified
rerun of an unchanged authentication fixture timeout (all 11 fixture
tests also pass locally). Previous CI failures and incomplete local runs
remain recorded; live deployment and retained-run recovery remain
separate verification.

## Risks

- The fallback creates a temporary shared bare clone. Metadata is
limited to 64 KiB and 256 unique boundaries, duplicate/parent probes are
cached, and Git import has a 60-second command budget plus a separate
15-second boundary-probe budget. It runs only after a missing-history
import failure.
- Incorrect boundaries could hide real host ancestry. The importer
retains available parent connections, and regressions cover that case.
- The full-bundle fallback can transfer a bundle twice. This preserves
the existing fast delta path; removing that extra transfer is outside
this correctness repair.
- Preservation eligibility expands only for completed native exports on
reusable leases. It creates no provider turn and leaves ordinary
reusable leases ineligible. Database/filesystem regressions cover result
selection and competing physical/host ownership.
- The migration rebuilds one partial index; no tables, columns or user
records change. There are no agent execution admission, model, trust,
recovery permission, workflow or lockfile changes.

## Model Used

c8b7afee06 fix(server): schedule native environment lease settlement (#17801)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/24/changes/paperclip/24
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and the resources used by their work.
> - Native run completion has several independent settlement duties.
> - The recurring run reaper repeated environment-release discovery for
completed native history.
> - Existing lease rows already record releases that still need work.
> - This pull request wakes the existing release owners from committed
changes and schedules only unfinished release debt.
> - Completed history becomes quiet while stop evidence, workspace
preservation, and retention policy keep their existing owners.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #17793, #17717.

**What problem does this solve?**

Periodic native finalization replay calls environment release even when
no lease needs work. This adds recurring database traffic to an idle
instance.

**What is the proposed solution?**

Register one scoped worker on the existing delivery coordinator.
Discover work from native finalizations and existing environment leases.
Wake it from native, lease, and settings transactions. Keep the release
owner's saved pending-cleanup deadlines. Keep retries only while a
concrete lease still needs settlement.

**What alternatives have you considered?**

A slower unconditional scan still queries idle history. A new job table
duplicates existing lease truth. Replacing the compound callback would
also change runtime-service and agent-status duties; those remain
separate slices.

This is slice 58. Parent #17793 has merged. This publication targets
master and preserves that landed prerequisite. Fresh current-head checks
and review remain required.

## What Changed

- Keep ordinary company-only finalization hints out of environment
settlement. Prove zero candidate SQL after quiet and preserve real lease
delivery.

- Reuse the existing durable destroy claim for run-owned cleanup,
excluding concurrent attempts and fencing late receipts while preserving
cleanup recovery.

- Scope lease cleanup notifications to their company/run so settlement
does not rediscover the entire backlog after each release.

- Read only `nativeWorkspaceSync` and `workspaceExportRetry` JSON fields
when discovering environment cleanup. Preserve saved run data and
existing release decisions.

- Reuse the environment runtime's release predicate for discovery. Add
no table or independent timer.
- Wake from existing finalization, projection, lifecycle, recovery,
lease, and settings transaction boundaries. Simple lease acquisition now
uses a transaction too.
- Preserve recorded retention policy, pending-cleanup deadlines,
original lease/provider ownership, and current release guards.
- Re-read durable lease state after a release. A logged or swallowed
per-lease failure does not discharge the obligation.
- Delegate only periodic environment release. Preserve default
live/manual behavior, runtime-service release, and agent-status
callbacks.
- Add an owner/producer/lifecycle audit and real database tests.

## Verification

Accepted production source: `9596fa022b57feea026c4728c80bdc36037b804f`.
Publication head: `fb252c8b0e52ce355e7d98db2e392e4831f99c61`. The actual
parent squash is adopted by a normal merge with the complete accepted
child tree unchanged. Only audit text follows.

- **4,172 distinct cases in 64 complete server files pass**, plus **20
selected chat cases** (4,192 selected total). The main batch reports
3,440 passes and 49 skips. Both complete Stop/read files then pass 51 +
6 cases on separate fresh databases through their supported override.
Their eight pure cases are counted once; skipped cases are never counted
as passes. Separate process recovery passes 410; review response passes
273. The other 1,794 chat cases were not run locally.
- **Quiet producer proof:** the controlled unscoped baseline fails with
three candidate SELECTs after three routine company-only hints. The
scoped case performs zero, releases a real eligible committed-run lease,
and returns to quiet. The same test hash spans red and green.
- **Static gates pass:** database build; server typecheck/build; module
boundaries; migration order; current Copilot profile identity. Packages
equal the accepted parent byte for byte.
- **Fresh fixtures:** 39 prepared PostgreSQL 17 databases plus fresh
helper-owned databases. The schema has all 412 journal entries through
index/tag 0413_tired_kronos. All 65 original test hashes restore
exactly; the indirect Stop fixture is also hashed. No assertion or
timeout changes.
- **Preserved records:** original 49 skips and their completed coverage
remain documented. Parent handoff timeout and prior chat-idle failure
records remain in their owning audits. This does not claim full
repository, full chat, live provider, or deployed sleep acceptance.
- [Current integration and native lease
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/fb252c8b0e52ce355e7d98db2e392e4831f99c61/doc/plans/2026-10-26-native-environment-settlement-sleep.md#current-master-integration-and-native-lease-quiet-proof-2026-10-29).
Fresh CI, security, and exact-head Greptile 5/5 must pass before merge.

<details><summary>Earlier revision verification and failure
history</summary>

Receiver failure fairness: a controlled 1,100 ms batch reproduced a
30-second delay for healthy due receivers. The worker now supplies its
existing per-item deadline through `nextRunAtOnError`. All 20 receiver
lifecycle tests pass on the owner and combined tip
`31c12f1d68ff4a51e06fc2be2abf2c2aee9f9d3a`; server production
typechecking passes on the owner. The failed receiver retains its own
backoff, and settled receivers return to zero recurring SQL. The
five-second assertion budget is unchanged. See [the owning
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/6f3a0b8de149fb5620f15909473eb7c4455b9824/doc/plans/2026-10-25-chat-receiver-discovery-sleep-audit.md#healthy-receiver-progress-after-a-slow-failed-batch).
Current-head CI and review remain required.

Approved delegated Test-tab calls now evaluate caller and target
policies in the existing claim transaction. Real HTTP regressions first
showed a missing caller charge and shared-limit self-rejection. All 78
connection-management cases and 92 gateway cases now pass on the owning
branch, along with server production typechecking. All 78
connection-management cases also pass at combined tip
`d25f830db89c1623bff3547bfc68015c1c66e0cf`. The three new cases cover
shared charges, separate charges, rollback on denial, duplicate
approval, and rejection of a later authorized call. Intermediate
counter/identity fixture failures and a reused-database Slack collision
are recorded in [the owning
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/ae9bff1c06e34702f64a399e58b45a657c133bd1/doc/idle-approved-tool-recovery.md#delegated-test-tab-admission-after-policy-changes).
The earlier combined checks below remain evidence for their stated
revisions. Current-head CI and review remain required.

Inherited voice-cleanup verification: the controlled slow-provider
regression and all 13 lifecycle tests passed on its owner and combined
tip `ab22d8ed0c09028315607414b83b375e5cc0a60a`. That repair changed only
the fixture clock advancement and its audit note.

Current head: `6f3a0b8de149fb5620f15909473eb7c4455b9824`. This remains a
single-duty PR stacked on #17793.

- Integrated pinned master `8548173fc9efdc0fa07644fb92dcc0b6851a95e5`
with normal merges. Every branch passed generated-schema checks and its
target-branch migration-order gate. Existing SQL is unchanged; the 25
stack migrations follow master’s new migration.
- Duty-specific producer coverage, lifecycle tests, and earlier failure
records:
[2026-10-24-recurring-server-sleep-stack.md](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/7e619453567e078a7d745f28bfe8e5ede571f282/doc/plans/2026-10-24-recurring-server-sleep-stack.md),
[2026-10-26-native-environment-settlement-sleep.md](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/7e619453567e078a7d745f28bfe8e5ede571f282/doc/plans/2026-10-26-native-environment-settlement-sleep.md).
- Combined tip `51e6cbe67979b55b340ea9f0f434c5b5c682ccd6`: **355
startup/cancellation/recovery/dispatch/preservation tests**, **75
connection-management tests**, and production server typechecking pass.
These combined checks do not mean every intermediate PR independently
ran the full repository suite.
- Real master-to-stack database upgrade passes: **379 unchanged prior
migration receipts plus 25 new migrations**, with the gateway
responsibility fixture preserved.
- Owning-branch checks: 84 runner installation/settlement cases plus
runner typechecking and generated TypeScript/Rust profile agreement; 253
GitHub review workflow cases. Stop-attribution and held-worker readiness
regressions failed before their fixes.
- Failure accounting: the initial combined run passed 349 cases and
failed six idle assertions in a reused preservation database containing
old cancelled runs. Repeating the combined command with a fresh
preservation database passed. Earlier invalid project selection, merge
import/type errors, and the interrupted full local suite are not counted
as passing checks.
- **Latest-head CI and review remain required.** Prior CI findings
include GitHub idle observation, route teardown, attention cleanup,
touch-picker E2E, workspace health, and voice-cleanup timing; local
passes do not erase those failures. No full local repository-suite,
deployed sleep, fleet cost, or live Copilot qualification claim is made.


</details>

## Risks

- Existing lease owners retain destruction claims, provider identity,
stop evidence, retention policy, and pending-cleanup deadlines.
Incorrect changes here can release a live resource or lose a cleanup
obligation.
- Logged or swallowed release failures remain concrete debt. Real
retries must retain their saved floor across unrelated hints.
- In-process signals do not cover independent SQL or other replicas
without ingress.
- This delegates only periodic environment settlement. Runtime-service
and agent-status duties remain separate. Existing Cloud blockers remain;
no deployed sleep, database suspension, external alarm coverage, or cost
savings is claimed.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, code execution, real
PostgreSQL tests, and GitHub tools. The exact runtime model identifier
and context-window size are not exposed in this session.

28e38da7e6 fix(server): wake native result commits from durable work (#17748)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and preserves their results through
failures.
> - Native completion must save workspace output before it commits the
accepted result.
> - The orphan recovery pass repeatedly revisits this work even when the
subsystem is idle.
> - Accepted results, workspace receipts, retry dates and leases already
provide durable truth.
> - This PR wakes a scoped worker from those writes and schedules only
real unfinished work.
> - It preserves existing finalization authority and keeps later
projection and resource recovery separate.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17734 and #17717. This is slice 53 of the existing sleep stack,
targeting master after parent #17734 merged at
`a019d00a393b57f531afe8dd8ab0b8a1820d1c4c`.
A current search found no duplicate accepted-result commit PR.

**What problem does this solve?**
Native accepted-result recovery currently depends on periodic orphan
scanning. Quiet instances keep doing work to discover that no result
needs a commit.

**What improvement do you propose?**
Use the shared delivery coordinator with transaction-bound producer
signals. Reconstruct unfinished results at startup. Preserve saved retry
and lease deadlines. Remove only uncommitted-result execution from the
periodic pass.

**Why is this useful?**
The accepted-result worker becomes quiet with no work or retained
completed history. Real results and completed workspace operations
reactivate it without a polling delay. This does not claim that the
whole server or database can sleep yet.

## What Changed

- Track the initial result-commit sweep through shutdown without
blocking HTTP readiness on recovery locks.
- Keep ordinary company-only finalization hints from reconstructing
dormant result work. Existing company settings and dedicated owner
signals remain supported.

- Add a native result-commit worker. Bind candidates by company, issue,
run, accepted result and a successful workspace receipt. Exclude
committed, terminal, held and pending-effect work.
- Signal both accepted-result writers and workspace receipt writes
before their transaction changes. Extend the existing finalization
fanout for retry, lease, effect and completion transitions.
- Add an optional atomic due-date check to the existing finalizer claim.
A lease collision or later retry does not consume a failed attempt.
- Signal native retry cancellation so it removes the saved wake after
commit.
- Register through the existing heartbeat suppression and shared
delivery lifecycle. Preserve outer commit/rollback, drain/resume,
settings activation and shutdown behavior.
- Delegate only uncommitted-result execution from the periodic orphan
pass. Keep committed projection and resource settlement recovery
enabled.
- Add real producer/lifecycle tests and a detailed audit. No new tables,
provider branches or per-feature timers.

## Verification

- Current local source `2af88fa55f961a74340880240019f6cd31e21bf1`
incorporates the parent with a normal merge. All 1,203 parent-only, nine
owned-only and 12 automatic shared paths are preserved. The only manual
conflict keeps the new result fanout inside the existing ordinary
issue/run scope guard. The complete package tree matches parent profile
80 byte-for-byte.
- Controlled real-database regression: the original result-only unscoped
fanout produces three candidate SELECTs for routine company hints. The
same zero-query assertion passes after restoring the scoped fanout. A
real workspace receipt and accepted result then commit exactly one
decision and return to quiet. Red and green restore production bytes
exactly. Twenty cases outside the focused pattern are not counted as
passing there.
- The complete main selection passes **1,746 cases in 16 files**,
without skips, in 277.97 seconds. This includes all 21 result-worker
lifecycle cases and 82 startup cases, including held result recovery,
HTTP readiness and shutdown joining. Separate process recovery passes
410 cases in 162.42 seconds and external-chat response passes 273 in
53.41 seconds. Total: **2,429 distinct passes in 18 complete files**,
with no skips. Normal merge `998239b019defe52e7b5d64f884de4e871ccd736`
adopts the actual parent squash and preserves this complete tested child
tree.
- Production server typecheck, build, module boundaries, migration order
and source identity checks pass. Fifteen dedicated PostgreSQL 17
databases use the unchanged migration 413 schema. Embedded-only calls
use the existing fresh-per-call recovery helper. All temporary imports
restore byte-exact, and every selected test hash matches after
completion. No assertion or timeout is relaxed.
- Runner validation belongs to the unchanged parent package tree: 130
passing installation/compatibility/transport cases, 22 installed
ACPX/Grok contract cases and 26 native-provider Rust cases. One existing
opt-in closed Pi snapshot case is skipped because its distribution root
is not configured. This does not claim live provider qualification.
- Earlier Greptile 4/5 on `656f6722be1aedf3d52b7f853956e15838204278`
correctly identified startup blocking on result recovery. The prior
branch `108cf0dc8296bf451b721ddac55ecbcd035d00f0` already tracks its
ready promise through the existing lifecycle owner. Current full startup
acceptance verifies the fix in the merged context. The later Greptile
service error is not a pass; current-head acceptance now passes: all 57
checks are clean, including protected CI and security. Greptile gives
5/5 on `b2efdb2dbbbef5b2227ffa2bd2a9a6cfe3867fe2`, with no actionable
findings. No Ponytail verdict is present under the authorized
missing-review policy.
- The owner audit at
`doc/plans/2026-10-26-native-result-commit-sleep-audit.md` retains
earlier failures and their disposition. These checks do not claim a full
local repository suite, deployed app/database suspension, expanded Cloud
wake coverage or measured cost savings.

## Risks

- Process-local signals cover instrumented application writes in the
owning server process. They do not cover independent SQL writers or
another replica without supported ingress. Durable startup
reconstruction remains enabled.
- The initial native decision and its run projection are separate
transactions. The periodic reconciler still repairs already-committed
results and releases resources. This PR must not be used to infer that
committed means fully settled.
- Candidate discovery adds bounded, narrow reads at startup and after
signals. No large-fleet query benchmark is claimed.
- Existing Cloud alarm coverage, host sleep safety and resource blockers
are unchanged. No deployed sleep or savings claim is made.
- Parent #17734 has merged. This PR targets master at
`a019d00a393b57f531afe8dd8ab0b8a1820d1c4c`. Fresh current-head CI and
review remain required before merge.

a019d00a39 fix(server): wake native workspace finalization from committed work (#17734)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs can accept a result before workspace copy-back finishes.
> - The periodic orphan pass repeatedly tries this recovery, including
cases that require operator action.
> - Copy-back needs exact ownership evidence. A generic timer cannot
grant that authority.
> - This pull request wakes workspace recovery from committed changes
and local owner completion.
> - Saved retries use the existing scheduler. Empty work, completed
barriers, and operator holds become quiet.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17717. This is slice 52 of the recurring-server sleep stack,
targeting master after parent #17717 merged at
`4c56702e06c698cc10d4a86514669aba0f4d9a9b`. Related work: #17709 (status
reassessment), #17687 (unsafe export recovery), and #16478 (workspace
repair holds).

This PR covers native workspace copy-back and validation. Result
commit/projection and resource settlement remain separate recovery
duties. It does not claim full-instance sleep.

## What Changed

- Register a company/run/task-scoped workspace worker. Reconstruct
accepted, unfinished work from existing records. Use saved retry and
lease deadlines.
- Notify from both accepted-result writers (control-plane and PRP
coordinator), workspace receipts, coordinator changes, operator
confirmation, retained workspace repair, and relevant task updates.
Notifications follow the outer transaction.
- Distinguish active local ownership, busy external ownership, pending
Cloud evidence, operator-required evidence, and changed bindings. Only
concrete external ownership/evidence waits receive a scoped retry.
- Preserve advisory locks, signed stop proof, exact binding checks,
physical callback joins, and existing failure policy. Join physical
operations during shutdown.
- Respect the existing heartbeat execution-suppression policy before
discovery and execution; wake suppressed work on settings activation.
- Skip physical workspace recovery in the enabled periodic orphan pass.
Keep direct/startup reconciliation and the remaining result/cleanup
recovery paths.
- Keep routine company-only finalization hints quiet. Ordinary work
requires issue/run scope; explicit settings and owner-release events
keep their company-wide contract.
- Preserve the parent's entire Runner/package tree, profile 80 and all
historical identities. Add the dated obligation, producer, lifecycle and
limitation audit.

## Verification

- Current local source: `4059b24e3ea5c623be54ade18ec9b6ab78eb0289`,
prepared by a normal merge of the current parent. The sole manual
conflict keeps ordinary workspace fanout inside the existing issue/run
guard. All 1,198 parent-only, 15 owned-only and 10 automatic shared
paths are preserved. The complete package tree matches the parent
byte-for-byte.
- Controlled regression: the original workspace-only unscoped fanout
performs three candidate SELECTs for routine company hints. The same
zero-query assertion passes with scoped fanout. A real accepted result
then produces one successful workspace settlement and returns to quiet.
The failed baseline remains in the audit.
- The first complete local group passes **1,693 cases in 14 files**,
including all 19 workspace-worker cases. It covers both accepted-result
producers, physical ownership, export retry/failure, finalization
recovery, arbiter corpus, issue recovery actions, control-plane port,
workspace recovery, heartbeat recovery, startup, retained cleanup and
native execution.
- Separate process-recovery and external-chat response files qualify the
changed recovery/settlement paths without sharing their general test
database with other files. Both pass in full: 410 process-recovery cases
in 162.79 seconds and 273 external-chat cases in 53.79 seconds. The
total is **2,376 distinct passes in 16 complete files**, with no skips.
Normal merge `5c46c52873158529736b8349e4d44658865108ee` adopts the
parent squash with this entire tested child tree unchanged.
- Production server typechecking, build, module boundaries, migration
order and source-profile checks pass. Thirteen dedicated PostgreSQL 17
fixtures use the unchanged migration 413 schema. Embedded-only paths use
the existing recovery helper with fresh per-call fixtures. All temporary
imports are restored byte-exact. No test assertion or timeout is
relaxed.
- Runner validation belongs to the unchanged parent package tree: 130
passing installation/compatibility/transport cases, 22 installed
ACPX/Grok contract cases and 26 native-provider Rust cases. One existing
opt-in closed Pi snapshot case is skipped because its distribution root
is not configured. These are source-scoped checks, with no live provider
qualification claim.
- The owner audit at
`doc/plans/2026-10-26-native-workspace-finalization-sleep-audit.md`
preserves earlier failures and their disposition. Current-head
acceptance: all 57 checks are clean, including protected CI and
security. Greptile gives 5/5 on
`7df5c9c44ea9e171be3c61b4430d3727b10f3337` with no actionable findings.
Earlier scores do not substitute for this result. No Ponytail verdict is
present under the authorized missing-review policy.
- No claim of a full local repository suite, deployed app/database
sleep, expanded Cloud wake coverage or measured cost savings is made.

## Risks

- Supported wake producers are in-process application services. This
adds no cross-replica or independent SQL-writer transport.
- A real unresolved export still needs recovery. Busy owners and pending
Cloud stop evidence retain a 30-second scoped check. No timeout
authorizes copy-back.
- Result projection and resource release still use their existing
recovery. Some existing cleanup failures remain best effort; this PR
does not infer cleanup success from a workspace barrier.
- Cloud alarm coverage and host-sleep safety remain unchanged. No
deployed suspension or cost savings have been measured.
- Parent #17717 is merged. Current base is master at
`4c56702e06c698cc10d4a86514669aba0f4d9a9b`. Fresh current-head CI and
review must pass before this slice merges.

df6156c2e3 fix(server): wake native status reassessment from committed changes (#17709)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents, tasks and their durable native results.
> - Changed evidence, task authority or review retirement can require a
new status assessment.
> - Periodic orphan recovery repeatedly reads history to find these
changes.
> - This change gives reassessment an owner driven by committed changes
and saved deadlines.
> - Existing result, assessment, decision and task rows remain durable
truth.
> - The status committer still verifies current sources and authority
before writing.
> - Settled or insufficient evidence becomes quiet until a supported
producer changes it.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17702 (merged), #17679 and #17680. This is slice 50, now based on
master. It owns native status reassessment; workspace settlement,
retained sessions and other orphan duties remain separate.

**What happened?**

Periodic recovery repeatedly inspects completed native results. Removing
that scan without complete writer coverage or current authority checks
could strand new evidence or commit an old result over newer work.

**Expected behavior**

Reassess from existing durable facts after relevant outer transactions
commit. Retain real retry/lease deadlines and restart/drain recovery.
Preserve current authority, quality-review and supersession checks. Make
no recurring SQL when work is settled or dormant.

**Steps to reproduce**

Complete a native result awaiting evidence or review, leave it idle,
then approve a real work product or retire the selected automatic
review. Its saved result should advance once when authorized, or record
the existing nonterminal business gate, without a periodic scan.

## What Changed

- Extract reassessment and its pure status policy from finalization
recovery into their owning modules. Add a scoped worker using the
existing delivery coordinator and scheduler; no queue table or migration
is added.
- Retain the three durable discovery triggers: changed work-product
history, authoritative task status/version, or retirement of the
selected automatic completion review. Preserve selected-source,
ownership, effects, retry and lease fences under the existing committer.
- Notify from actual task/work-product, claim release, approval,
interaction, OAuth, event evidence and workspace-settlement owners
before their transaction writes. Keep provider calls outside short
transactions and nested writes behind outer commit.
- Scope ordinary milestone/finalization/coalesced-input wakes to an
issue/run. Keep genuine company authority restoration explicit. Real
Photon and coalescer regressions cover all three response/status queues.
- Move the current parent's required quality policy into the owner and
apply it to every reassessment that could complete a task. An unmet
review records the existing in-progress decision and next action,
avoiding an operational retry loop. Preserve conversation/session reset
locks and the workspace omission-barrier signal.
- Skip reassessment in periodic recovery while preserving
explicit/startup recovery and the historical supersession guard before
independent workspace work. Document the source contract, producer
inventory, failures and qualifications in the linked audit.

## Verification

- Broad source `9fddb3f0b1157df32b64fb1f22e9d6e9624470e8` passes **2731
distinct cases in 28 complete files**, with no skips: 2458
producer/owner/authority/workspace/quality cases in 394.43 seconds and
all 273 governed-response cases in 53.74 seconds. Nineteen dedicated
fresh PostgreSQL 17 databases migrate through 0413; eighteen
embedded-only invocations preserve fresh-per-call isolation through the
existing recovery helper. All 22 temporary imports restore exactly and
all 28 hashes match.
- Final runtime source `5ea3b0fd016bf7e63ba82a7044825a46a0cd2082` passes
**1211 cases in five complete affected files** in 108.23 seconds after
the narrowly reproduced evidence-trigger fix: all 43 worker, 145 corpus,
32 finalization-recovery, 968 native-session and 23 quality-review
cases. Four fresh databases plus the quality helper's own fresh fixture
use PostgreSQL 17. Its one adapted import restores exactly; all five
hashes match. The other 27 broad-run test files are unchanged. These
qualifications are source-scoped and not cumulatively double-counted.
- Required/optional real regressions reproduce retry loops on
retired-review and evidence-approval paths before repair; both become
SQL quiet afterward with unchanged assertions/time limits. Controlled
removal of only ordinary scope guards reproduces two coarse-hint SQL
failures; exact guard restoration passes. Real producer, outer
transaction, claim, authority, 103-item backlog, retry and drain cases
pass. Photon transport is mocked; callbacks, locks and observed SQL are
real.
- Normal merges preserve 12661 parent/unrelated entries, 35 owned
entries and 21 automatic shared results, with five original conflicts
reviewed explicitly. The parent's actual squash reconciliation preserves
the entire held child tree. The final quality fix changes only its owner
and tests. Fourteen added comments are removed with identical nontrivia
tokens; no directives are removed and the final comment check is empty.
- Database build, server types/build, boundaries and exact-head
migration order pass. The database tree is identical to merged #17702:
no new SQL, queue table or snapshot is generated. Earlier benchmarks,
host limitations, failed assertions and their repairs remain in
`doc/plans/2026-10-26-native-status-reassessment-sleep-audit.md` and
`doc/idle-native-status-reassessment.md`.
- This qualifies targeted external PostgreSQL behavior, not embedded
bootstrap on the semaphore-exhausted host, a full local repository
suite, deployed sleep or measured fleet savings. Fresh exact-head CI and
review remain required.

## Risks

- Notifications retain the process-local supported-writer contract.
Independent SQL writers and uncoordinated replicas are not covered by a
new transport.
- Reassessment competes with current authority changes. Existing
row/source locks and retries remain required; arbitrary missing
identities have no row to lock, so this is not a general predicate-lock
guarantee.
- Discovery pages 100 rows but retains outstanding candidates in memory.
It remains proportional to backlog size, and cancellation occurs between
queries.
- Other orphan/workspace/session duties and Cloud sleep eligibility
remain unchanged. Missing supported producer coverage could strand
dormant work, so the producer audit and real callback/transaction tests
remain part of acceptance.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, shell
execution and PostgreSQL tests. The runtime does not expose a more
specific serving snapshot or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 5982246771 fix(server): schedule custom-image setup expiry from committed changes (#17443)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agent work and its execution environments.
> - Interactive image setup sessions must expire even when users leave.
> - The server currently scans these sessions on every maintenance tick.
> - Empty scans keep the instance and database active.
> - Existing session rows already record status and expiry.
> - This pull request uses transaction signals and the shared scheduler
for those rows.
> - Empty and completed setup history no longer create recurring cleanup
queries.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The server checks custom-image setup expiry every heartbeat maintenance
tick, even when no active session exists.

**What did you expect?**

Session writes should update the next cleanup deadline. Existing
provider cancellation and cleanup ownership must remain intact. Empty
state should stay quiet.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run an instance with heartbeat scheduling enabled and no custom-image
setup sessions. Observe repeated setup-expiry reads.

Refs #17145. This is the first PR in the recurring server sleep stack.
Its base is master. The full requested scope and verification contract
are recorded in `doc/plans/2026-10-24-recurring-server-sleep-stack.md`.
Follow-up PRs target their predecessor and each own a separate reason
for recurring work.

## What Changed

- Carry the historical cleanup retry-observation fixture repair and its
existing external test-database hook at the stack foundation. Runtime
scheduling is unchanged.

- Carry the previously verified login-cleanup fixture settlement
correction at the stack foundation so every intermediate CI run receives
it. This is test-only maintenance; custom-image expiry behavior is
unchanged.

- Add a custom-image expiry worker to the existing delivery coordinator.
Remove its maintenance-tick scan.
- Signal initial creation, provider refresh, cancellation/failure, and
promotion inside their owning transaction.
- Keep the active-status predicate, earliest saved expiry, and provider
behavior in the custom-image service. Shared code gains only a queue
topic.
- Preserve startup recovery, bounded retries, concurrent write
generations, and drain deferral. No tables or external alarm changes.
- Add PostgreSQL lifecycle tests and repair this suite's database
cleanup callback. A dedicated external test URL permits disposable
PostgreSQL when the host cannot start another embedded cluster.

## Verification

Current head: `3507c6be1e054fdd93353d5dcf77d4899b44518f`. This remains a
single-duty PR stacked on master.

- Integrated pinned master `8548173fc9efdc0fa07644fb92dcc0b6851a95e5`
with normal merges. Every branch passed generated-schema checks and its
target-branch migration-order gate. Existing SQL is unchanged; the 25
stack migrations follow master’s new migration.
- Duty-specific producer coverage, lifecycle tests, and earlier failure
records:
[2026-10-08-instance-sleep-and-scheduler-inventory.md](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/3507c6be1e054fdd93353d5dcf77d4899b44518f/doc/plans/2026-10-08-instance-sleep-and-scheduler-inventory.md),
[2026-10-24-recurring-server-sleep-stack.md](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/3507c6be1e054fdd93353d5dcf77d4899b44518f/doc/plans/2026-10-24-recurring-server-sleep-stack.md).
- Combined tip `51e6cbe67979b55b340ea9f0f434c5b5c682ccd6`: **355
startup/cancellation/recovery/dispatch/preservation tests**, **75
connection-management tests**, and production server typechecking pass.
These combined checks do not mean every intermediate PR independently
ran the full repository suite.
- Real master-to-stack database upgrade passes: **379 unchanged prior
migration receipts plus 25 new migrations**, with the gateway
responsibility fixture preserved.
- Owning-branch checks: 84 runner installation/settlement cases plus
runner typechecking and generated TypeScript/Rust profile agreement; 253
GitHub review workflow cases. Stop-attribution and held-worker readiness
regressions failed before their fixes.
- Failure accounting: the initial combined run passed 349 cases and
failed six idle assertions in a reused preservation database containing
old cancelled runs. Repeating the combined command with a fresh
preservation database passed. Earlier invalid project selection, merge
import/type errors, and the interrupted full local suite are not counted
as passing checks.
- **Latest-head CI and review remain required.** Prior CI findings
include GitHub idle observation, route teardown, attention cleanup,
touch-picker E2E, workspace health, and voice-cleanup timing; local
passes do not erase those failures. No full local repository-suite,
deployed sleep, fleet cost, or live Copilot qualification claim is made.

## Risks

- Signals cover supported service producers sharing the DB owner.
Independent SQL and another process require the existing
restart/reconciliation contract.
- Failed provider cancellation retains the existing failed-session and
historical-cleanup behavior. This PR changes scheduling, not teardown
authority.
- Active rows without an expiry preserve the existing behavior; no
deadline is invented. Cloud sleep eligibility remains conservative.
- The worker remains in the existing heartbeat-enabled startup path. It
does not change disabled-scheduler behavior or prove deployed
suspension.

serving model identifier and context window were not exposed.

Review follow-up: Added a real producer commit during a paused deadline
read. Updated startup assertions for coordinator ownership and removed
added code comments. The three affected suites pass (102 tests). The
separate login-cleanup suite also passes locally (16 tests); its prior
CI consume test timed out, and the fresh complete CI run passed.
External PostgreSQL tests now use the repository guard for disposable
databases ending in `_test`.

DottaandPaperclip bd382eee53 fix(recovery): explain retained source verification failures (#17773)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Workspace recovery must prove the identity of retained work before
it uses an allocation.
> - The verifier rejects several different contracts with the same
`source_binding_invalid` code.
> - A saved Retry can therefore stop before file preservation without
enough evidence for a safe repair.
> - Operators need a bounded observation of the selected source without
another attempt or weaker guards.
> - This pull request records closed failure reasons and adds an
explicit read-only inspection on the run page.
> - The benefit is a precise next diagnostic step while the saved work,
intent, and ownership fences remain intact.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #17741, #17053. This is a diagnostic follow-up. It does not change
recovery admission or the retained-source acceptance policy.

**What happened?**

A retained-source recovery exhausted in `verify_execution` with only
`source_binding_invalid`. Run and task diagnostics could not distinguish
an invalid reference, lease policy, source binding, or reopened
allocation. The normal recovery-actions read can also revalidate
recovery state, so it was not a safe substitute for a current read-only
inspection.

**Expected behavior**

Record an allowlisted reason at the rejected guard. Allow a reader to
inspect one exact task/run/action without changing its attempts, saved
input, receipts, or ownership. Clearly separate the recorded failure
from current identity observations.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Prepare a terminal native run with a retained-source action and a
lease policy of `reuse_by_environment`.
2. Attempt source verification. The guard must still reject that policy.
3. Open the failed run and choose Inspect recovery, then Inspect current
source. The diagnostic should name `lease_policy_not_retained` and the
allowlisted policy.

## What Changed

- Split existing source-binding guards into closed reason codes. Keep
each acceptance predicate and physical recovery action unchanged.
- Persist validated, path-free reason/policy detail with future system
recovery failures. Keep historical generic records compatible.
- Add an explicit query on the existing task recovery-actions GET. Exact
company/task/run/action selection bypasses read revalidation. Run
selection lists at most 20 actions; inspection stops before per-lease
lookup when a record has more than eight sources.
- Add a manual inspection control on native export-failure run pages.
Keep resolved retained actions inspectable. Show recorded failure and
current recorded-source identity separately.
- Update execution semantics and feature/access recipes. The shared type
is the normalized server/UI contract; it contains no provider payload or
secret.

## Verification

- RED: the prior verifier failed both reason assertions for rejected
warm policy and foreign-run lease binding. GREEN: the final focused
source/HTTP, system-state, and UI suites pass 23 tests. The UI follow-up
passes 8 tests after the review fixes.
- HTTP tests prove exact selection, cross-company denial,
resolved-action access, reused-allocation rejection, redaction, and
unchanged actions, runs, leases, tasks, wakeup receipts, workspace
operations, and activity. A nine-source case proves bounded inspection
while the existing worker verifier still accepts all nine valid sources.
- Review follow-up: show allowlisted saved detail beside a changed
current observation, preserve all listed actions, and follow
exact-action selection in verified/limited/error tests. The prior
component fails the saved/current drift regression in an in-memory RED
control; the current component passes. UI typecheck/build pass again.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass. Token gates, maps, module
boundaries, and `git diff --check` pass.
- Rebased onto master `46de15ff4b` without conflicts. Range-diff proves
both diagnostic commits are unchanged. On new head
`a7e2bc87fcea75e76b6b736304d1287257f71174`, all 23 focused tests, full
typecheck/build, token gates, maps, and module checks pass again. Both
fresh reviews are 5/5 with zero unresolved threads. Final exact-head
GitHub status is CLEAN: 55 success, 2 skipped, 1 neutral, no pending
checks or failures. The [ci / verify
aggregate](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40387002325/job/121802415824)
passed in eight seconds. All test/build/typecheck/E2E lanes passed.
- Existing full workspace recovery suite: 56/56 pass (103.5 seconds)
before the byte-equivalent rebase. `pnpm test:run` hit repeated embedded
PostgreSQL initialization failure before database-suite assertions and
was stopped. No full local suite pass is claimed. The owned external
`_test` database provided the focused HTTP/source verification. The
prior browser attempt also stalled at Network.enable before its click;
that attempt did not establish browser acceptance.
- Current-head local browser acceptance passes through the actual run
page: Inspect recovery lists the exact action, Inspect current source
shows recorded generic failure separately from the current rejected
policy, and reload resets inspection to the explicit control. Explicit
selection works again after reload. The app used isolated data, an empty
inherited environment, a paused synthetic agent, and no provider
credentials. Final state remains failed/exhausted with zero attempts,
zero wakeup receipts, zero workspace operations, and unchanged original
generic failure. The local app and temporary tab were stopped. This
proves the diagnostic journey, not the deployed source's actual lease
policy or its recovery.
- Final merge verification at
`a7e2bc87fcea75e76b6b736304d1287257f71174`: GitHub reports CLEAN and
mergeable. Both repository-required checks, `ci / verify` and `ci /
e2e`, pass, as does the exact-head Greptile check (5/5, zero unresolved
threads). The separate [Entire
trail](https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/paperclip/trails/7) has no
recorded reviewer approval; no such approval is claimed. It is not a
configured GitHub merge gate.
- Initial local setup failures were distinct from product assertions:
localhost sandbox EPERM required scoped local access; a browser harness
import path was corrected. A test UUID type inference error and
historical native-export UI selection gap were corrected before the
green run. The live task remains blocked; this diagnostic does not claim
it recovered.

## Risks

- This change improves evidence. It does not prove provider termination,
local descriptor integrity, or successful file preservation, and it does
not repair the original source.
- Current inspection spans multiple database reads. It is an
observation, not a historical cause or execution authority. It performs
no provider/filesystem calls and starts no retry or executor.
- The optional persisted detail is backward compatible. Unknown values
and extra fields are excluded. Oversized source lists remain uninspected
through this explicit diagnostic path; physical recovery rules do not
change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex based on GPT-6, with code execution and browser tools. The
exact serving model ID and context window were not exposed in this

DottaandPaperclip 0373f9f261 fix(recovery): wake retained workspace preservation after Retry (#17741)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and their saved work.
> - A stopped run can owe workspace preservation before saved input can
continue.
> - Retry saved a recovery request but did not wake the worker that owns
preservation.
> - Older recovery records could also take the bounded scan slots before
a due request.
> - A second Retry could change the revision while the physical owner
was still saving files.
> - This pull request wakes a separate worker after commit, selects due
work first, and keeps the active owner's revision.
> - Saved work can progress without replaying the stopped provider turn
or blocking other finalization.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An operator approved a saved design and selected Retry after native
workspace finalization failed. The API accepted one canonical request.
The source remained scheduled at zero preservation attempts for more
than 30 minutes. No new provider turn started. A local regression also
found that repeated Retry during export invalidated the physical owner's
completion revision.

**Expected behavior**

Committed Retry must wake bounded source preservation. Due recovery must
progress ahead of passive cleanup obligations and unrelated history.
Duplicate requests must keep one physical attempt. Saved input must
still pass normal admission after verified recovery.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Retain a terminal run with an exhausted workspace recovery and saved
authorized input.
2. Let the delivery coordinator become quiet, then request Retry.
3. Observe the recovery state and physical preservation receipt. Repeat
Retry while the export is held.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on served commit `4b89eec644d6e1a99d58926e77ae58927c3fa87b`.
Local baseline: `a1f77821b9cd5c9c846fdf7a0fa5cc620ad2b6bb`.

Related work: Refs #17053, #17267, #17094. This change repairs explicit
Retry delivery. It is separate from the run instruction projection in
#17724 and historical unsafe-export discovery in #17687.

## What Changed

- Notify a dedicated workspace recovery duty from the transaction that
saves Retry, recovery admission, adoption, or recovery progress.
- Reconstruct work and saved retry deadlines at startup. Fill each free
export slot independently, track physical work for idle drain, and join
the dedicated worker's exports on shutdown.
- Drain one bounded pass through completed cleanup and saved-input
obligations. Restart that pass after committed changes without
repeatedly rechecking paused input.
- Share source eligibility between deadline selection and candidate
consumption. Keep resolved files-only obligations and ignore unrelated
resolved or cancelled history.
- Select due unfinished preservation before passive historical records.
Rotate past source locks held by other workers and retain the indexed
source lookup.
- Bind the canonical Retry intent without changing an active physical
attempt's generation or revision. Preserve that binding across later
progress writes.
- Add real producer, physical preservation, startup, deadline, idle, and
independent finalization regressions. Document the delivery contract.

## Verification

- Red controls: Retry without a notification stayed scheduled; duplicate
Retry invalidated the active export; whole-batch waiting stranded a
third Retry; a scan without cursor rotation starved a source behind two
actual advisory locks. Removing unfinished-first selection left HTTP
Retry scheduled behind five real recovered sources still owing cleanup.
The fixture explicitly verifies their eligibility with the worker's
actual query filter.
- Further red controls: the previous worker visits only two of three
eligible completed sources. Disabling the committed-change cursor reset
misses a new earlier source arriving while two callbacks are held. Both
pass with the final worker.
- Green: the public Retry HTTP route, registered production worker, real
file copyback, duplicate canonical receipts, and public recovery receipt
reload passed on an owned local fixture. Its agent is paused to keep
this files-only check from starting a provider turn.
- Full workspace recovery suite passed 56 tests, including the
foreign-lock regression.
- Execution-control lifecycle suite passed 24 tests. It covers idle SQL,
stored deadlines, cancelled and resolved history, independent
finalization, and shutdown. One, three, and seven paused completed
sources are each visited in a bounded pass, then stay deferred without a
successor or SQL during 90 seconds of fake-clock idle time. A committed
earlier source is evaluated when it arrives during two held callbacks.
- Both GitHub and Telegram `automatic_running` continuation regressions
passed with the new canonical intent binding.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `node
scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs` passed.
- Local `pnpm test:run` could not complete: embedded PostgreSQL
repeatedly failed to start. The owned run was stopped after this setup
failure repeated. Latest-head CI supplies broad coverage.
- Earlier setup failures included a localhost sandbox denial and loss of
the owned disposable Docker database. These were separate from the
product red controls above.
- Local database tests use an explicitly named disposable PostgreSQL
`_test` database. That opt-in database is reset before the suite.
Default embedded test behavior is unchanged.
- Exact-head CI is green at `ef7dcf1ba1060864c9d216c33b51f4d9f8f57fbd`;
Greptile and Ponytail both rate it 5/5, with no unresolved review
threads. Earlier CI caught the indexed discovery assertion and two exact
chat intent-binding regressions; all three were fixed and pass locally
and in CI. A separate chat shard lost contact with its self-hosted
runner without a product assertion result. A later shared runner
shutdown interrupted several jobs; one infrastructure rerun passed
before the final test-and-worker follow-up triggered a fresh green run.
- No staging deployment is part of this PR. The original approval
remains saved; deployed recovery still needs acceptance after rollout.

## Risks

- More recovery writes now wake a bounded maintenance duty. Completed
history must not keep it active. Idle and deadline tests cover this
boundary.
- Resolved files-only obligations must remain eligible without granting
replay. The startup regression checks that path.
- Provider stop proof, copyback ownership, source binding, retry
budgets, and normal execution admission remain required. There is no
schema or public API change.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex based on GPT-6, with code execution and browser tools.
The exact serving model ID and context window are not exposed in this

DottaandPaperclip 71c04c0bfb fix: stop idle environment cleanup polling (#17145)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent environments can leave pending teardown or unverified provider
resources.
> - Recovery must preserve those resources until ownership and workspace
safety allow cleanup.
> - Empty maintenance scans keep an idle instance and its database
active.
> - The existing rows, transaction signals, and scheduler can represent
the actual recovery obligation.
> - This pull request schedules pending cleanup and historical
verification only while work remains.
> - An empty or fully verified instance stops these scans without losing
cleanup recovery.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The server scanned pending environment cleanup on its maintenance tick.
The run reaper also scanned it even when it recovered no runs or active
leases. Historical resource verification scanned every five minutes,
including when all history already had valid cleanup proof.

**What did you expect?**

Writes should wake cleanup. Pending rows, deferred orphan buffers, and
unverified history should retain recovery deadlines. When none remain,
these workers should make no periodic database or provider calls.

**Steps to reproduce**

Start a configured instance with no pending leases and fully verified
history. Leave it idle. Observe repeated pending-cleanup and
historical-verification reads from the maintenance paths.

Related: #17106 supplies the preceding login-cleanup migration. #13523
improves lease-reaper query indexes. #16809 addresses reusable-sandbox
recovery authority. This PR keeps those authority checks in their
existing services.

## What Changed

- Register two workers with the existing delivery coordinator and shared
scheduler. Remove their unconditional maintenance-tick calls. Run the
reaper's inline pending cleanup only after it recovers actual work.
- Add commit-aware signals to the audited lease and custom-image
writers. Existing transactions notify directly; other writers use one
small transaction helper. No tables or migrations are added.
- Derive pending cleanup deadlines from the existing row backoff and
retry or claim metadata. Retain a historical retry only while an
unverified candidate exists.
- Register unwritten orphan buffers across runtimes that share the
database handle. Buffer registration wakes recovery without a database
connection. Load the existing spool at startup and retry failed or
capacity-limited loads while needed.
- Isolate spool failures per runtime. Attempt all buffers and persisted
pending rows, then retain a retry for any failed spool.
- Document producer coverage, idle behavior, and remaining blockers.
Update the sleep inventory.
- Repair the inherited CSS-recovery E2E test: the current build no
longer emits task-page CSS. Exercise the actual lazy environment
stylesheet, preserving real network failure, recovery, and bounded
reload assertions.

## Verification

October 24 integration update: merged current master and resolved the
runtime/spool conflicts. Preserve serialized ingestion of records
appended after startup. Plugin replacement failures now register
deferred recovery with an idle hold; concurrent callers share one
persistence attempt. The producer audit includes this new writer.

- Focused cleanup selection: 270 tests now pass across five suites. The
initial run lacked a built plugin SDK and executed no tests; building
the SDK fixed setup. The new concurrent-flush assertion then reproduced
duplicate rows; a single-flight guard fixed it and all 18 plugin
integration tests passed on rerun.
- Server typecheck passed. After review fixes, all 211 tests across the
cleanup worker, real orphan spool, environment runtime, and plugin
integration suites passed. These overlap the earlier focused selection.
The rate-limit test initially expected a write after twenty idle minutes
to wait; corrected it to assert that subsequent writes cannot accelerate
the five-minute cadence.
- Review fixes preserve retries for unreadable spool
directories/records, keep historical provider checks off the startup
wait while joining them at shutdown, and restore their independent
five-minute minimum spacing. The complete [CI
matrix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40108905033)
passed on final commit `79ae1589c3c7b924db4bedb337d0c7ed3d95020b`,
including all E2E shards, server/workspace tests, runner checks,
typecheck, build/public-install verification, and security checks.

- CI found a stale E2E asset matcher: `issue-detail-*.css` is no longer
emitted. Both corrected browser tests passed against a fresh production
UI build and disposable local instance. Fresh Greptile review is 5/5 on
that same final commit, with all review threads resolved.

Previous implementation verification:

- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed.
- New PostgreSQL worker suite: 12 tests passed. Covers quiet configured
state, verified history, writes, outer commit and rollback, retry
deadlines, restart, drain, deferred orphan buffers, spool failure,
pagination, provider uncertainty, shutdown, and the idle run-reaper
path.
- Worker and environment runtime suites after review fix: 183 tests
passed. A new assertion reproduced buffer starvation before the fix.
Updated transaction fault injection and isolated simulated-instance
database handles. Server typecheck also passed after the fix.
- Run-recovery suites: 58 tests passed. Pending-cleanup suite: 38 tests
passed after updating the logging fixture to seed real orphan recovery;
an idle reaper no longer invokes cleanup.
- Stop and workspace-recovery integration selection: 268 tests passed;
two live-provider tests skipped by their environment gate. This overlaps
the worker suite and is not an additional unique-test count.
- Started the full local `pnpm test:run`, then stopped that older
duplicate run after CI found the fixture mismatch. The corrected 38-test
suite passed locally. The full sharded [CI
matrix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39678174479)
passed on final commit `fc0ff3c4554ca4190a8b0b81ec06ef7065b8ad2c`,
including build, typecheck, runner, server, workspace, and E2E checks.
This is not a claim that the local full run completed.

## Risks

- Missing a future producer signal could delay discovery until restart.
The producer audit is documented in `doc/idle-environment-cleanup.md`.
Independent SQL writers and another server process are outside the
existing process-local notification contract.
- Historical candidates blocked by ownership or provider uncertainty
keep a five-minute retry until they can be verified. Provider
destruction, claim fencing, Stop retention, and workspace safety remain
controlled by their existing services.
- This does not remove orphan-active discovery or legacy shutdown
settlement from run recovery. Active custom-image expiry is also still
periodic. External wake coverage does not change.
- Local tests prove these workers become quiet and recover. They do not
establish deployed instance suspension or fleet cost savings.

serving model ID and context size were not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip 4c57da3708 fix(recovery): continue Retry after verified sandbox absence (#17267)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Task Retry must reconcile a stopped native execution before starting
another one.
> - A retained sandbox can disappear while workspace preservation is
pending.
> - A tenant-key error does not prove absence, especially after
credential rotation.
> - This pull request accepts only a short-lived Cloud observation bound
to the exact source and current preservation owner.
> - Normal Retry admission can then continue in a fresh workspace
without claiming that missing files were recovered.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native run stops with workspace preservation pending. Its Daytona
allocation no longer exists. Recovery tries to reopen it, then cannot
confirm a stop. The ordinary Retry remains deferred behind cleanup and
repeats a transient failure.

**Expected behavior**

Cloud must independently confirm absence in the recorded provider
organization. Core must verify that proof and settle executor
containment under the current physical owner. Normal Retry admission
must enforce all existing gates and create at most one successor. The
old run must remain failed and missing files must remain unavailable.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Persist a failed native run with a retained Daytona lease and an
exhausted workspace-recovery generation.
2. Remove the exact provider allocation so reopen and stop cannot
confirm it.
3. Request ordinary task Retry.
4. Observe that recovery reports `provider_unavailable` and leaves the
Retry deferred.

**Paperclip version/commit**

Reproduced on source based on `6d44b80a5edbcc9f69bfc3d520994e70aa9fab6d`
with the prior preservation and Retry repairs present.

**Deployment mode**

Cloud tenant with native Runner and a retained Daytona source. The local
acceptance uses real Core, Cloud, PostgreSQL, signatures, native Runner
and UI, with deterministic model and provider HTTP boundaries.

Refs #16962, #16965, #17053. These repairs cover completion proposals,
durable Retry and retained-source reopening. They do not establish
absence of a missing provider allocation. Related #16809 preserves
orphan sandbox leases; this change requires independent proof before
settling an absent allocation.

## What Changed

- Add an HTTPS client for a purpose-separated, host-bound Cloud
sandbox-absence capability.
- Verify signature, audience, stack, expiry, source identities and
current physical-owner token.
- Settle only executor absence with a metadata and owner
compare-and-set. Preserve source protection and record that workspace
contents are unavailable.
- Leave successor creation, approval, pause, budget and uncertain-effect
checks to normal Retry admission.
- Document the protocol and update the recovery maps.

## Verification

- Red: the new persisted-state regression returned
`provider_unavailable` and scheduled recovery on the unfixed code.
Expected: `source_unavailable` with a contained old execution.
- Green: 384 focused tests pass across workspace recovery, signed
absence, explicit continuation, ordinary Retry, workspace preparation
and provider-owned fresh workspaces.
- Signature tests reject forged, expired and mismatched proofs. HTTP
failures or missing configuration grant no authority.
- Two missing allocations are both reconciled before Retry. A simulated
interruption reuses the first durable absence receipt.
- Concurrent Retry admission produces one queued fresh successor. It
records no successful old result and no recovered-file claim.
- Browser acceptance at this change: one ordinary Retry, two provider
absence reads for two retained sources, one fresh native execution,
useful confirmation and Done after reload. The old run remains failed.
Existing saved review and newer local file bytes remain unchanged. The
deterministic model does not perform external publication; this is local
protocol acceptance, not live provider recovery.
- `pnpm typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`
pass.
- A complete local `pnpm test:run` pass was not obtained. The first run
hit a 15-second timeout in an unchanged status-card test. It was stopped
to apply review fixes before the remaining phases ran. The unchanged
status-card suite then passed 25/25 in isolation with the repository
short temporary-path convention.
- CI exposed a chat nonduplication assertion that compared unordered
database rows. The assertion now sorts both complete row sets by run ID.
Its focused test passes.
- All 58 current-head checks are terminal on
`1e2e881f6b6b1ae1fbfe1f2b2922657ce46e1470`: 55 success, two unaffected
Storybook skips, and one neutral advisory review. Required CI, build,
E2E and security checks pass. Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved
threads. The optional Paperclip review is neutral advisory 5/5 with
nine-file source coverage and no findings; it did not independently run
tests.
- One unchanged native-runtime test timed out at five seconds on its
first CI attempt. Its suite passed 33/33 in isolation; a single retry of
that lane passed without code changes.

## Risks

- The companion Cloud endpoint must ship before this consumer. Older or
unavailable Cloud versions return no proof and retain the current hold.
- A valid absence receipt permits a fresh workspace attempt. It cannot
restore missing remote files, establish task success or authorize
repeating an uncertain external effect.
- This PR has not been deployed. The original task remains unrecovered
pending rollout and reconciliation of its existing Retry.
- No schema, credential, provider-resource or fleet changes are
included.

execution and browser tools. The exact backend variant and
context-window size are not exposed by this session.

DottaandPaperclip eaacadeba3 fix(recovery): let preservation owners reopen retained sources (#17053)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Recovery must save retained workspace files before ordinary
execution can resume.
> - The environment runtime blocks access to retained sources to prevent
unsafe reuse or deletion.
> - The recovery worker also used that ordinary resume path.
> - The guard returned no lease, so recovery reported an invalid source
binding before it could save files.
> - This pull request gives the physical preservation owner a separate,
source-bound resume path.
> - Ordinary execution and destructive cleanup keep their existing
guards.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16965.

**What happened?**

A retained workspace with a workspaceRestoreRecovery marker could not
recover through the real environment runtime. The runtime returned null
before calling the provider. Recovery classified this as
source_binding_invalid. Earlier recovery fixtures replaced the runtime
facade, so they did not exercise this guard.

**Expected behavior**

The verified preservation owner can reopen its exact stopped allocation
to save files. Other callers remain blocked. Recovery preserves newer
local files and does not start another agent or repeat a completed
external action.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Seed a terminal source run with a retained sandbox, a recovery
action, and the workspaceRestoreRecovery lease marker.
2. Give the source a verified stop receipt.
3. Call recoverRetainedWorkspace through environmentRuntimeService.
4. Before this change, the recovery action returns to blocked with
source_binding_invalid. No files are copied.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master at 65f59e339a. The
same failure was observed in a served build containing #16965.

## What Changed

- Add an internal preservation resume method. It validates the exact
company, task, run, action, lease, environment, current physical owner,
and stop-only cleanup claim before provider access.
- Keep ordinary resume and destructive cleanup blocked for protected
sources.
- Run all retained-workspace fixtures through the assembled environment
runtime. Add a failing-before/passing-after protected-source regression
and four rejection cases.
- Use the same runtime path and protection marker in the opt-in Daytona
interruption probe. Allow a verified immutable snapshot UUID as its
input.
- Document the authority boundary and verification recipes.

## Verification

- Red: the protected-source regression failed with expected recovered,
received blocked. It recorded source_binding_invalid before provider
resume.
- Green: 235 tests passed across workspace recovery, durable task Retry,
and environment runtime. These include saved files, newer local files,
bounded retries, competing owners, and no extra run or wake.
- pnpm -r typecheck and pnpm build passed. The initial sandboxed
typecheck could not open a tsx IPC pipe; the same command passed with
local process access.
- node scripts/check-maps.mjs and git diff --check passed.
- Live Daytona qualification passed using the same immutable snapshot ID
as the affected deployment. Export was interrupted after a real
download; a second controller restored the files and verified one
original agent start, one simulated external action, one saved snapshot,
and a stopped retained source. The disposable sandbox was deleted after
verification.
- Greptile reviewed 804dfe24ef at 5/5 with
no actionable findings or unresolved review threads.
- Full current-commit CI passed:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39540771747.
Required ci / verify and ci / e2e passed. Superagent, Socket, and Snyk
checks passed.
- Full local pnpm test:run did not pass: 22,992 tests passed, one
managed-run identity test timed out at 60 seconds, and 100 tests skipped
across the first general-server phase. The command stopped before its
later phases. The unchanged agent-identity.test.ts suite then passed all
11 tests in isolation in 15.53 seconds. The original timeout remains
recorded; it is not reclassified as a full local pass. The same commit's
complete CI test matrix passed.
- The optional Paperclip Review completed with a neutral advisory 5/5 on
the same head and no actionable findings. It inspected all eight changed
files and connected code. It did not independently run tests or the
provider probe.
- Hosted ordinary Retry recorded one durable intent and no successor run
while file preservation remained blocked. The existing published review
stayed unchanged. Hosted recovery remains unverified until this
follow-up is deployed. A Retry acknowledgement alone does not prove
recovery.

## Risks

- Recovery can reopen a retained sandbox. The dedicated path requires
the current physical ownership claim and the exact source's stop-only
intent. It does not clear the ordinary protection marker.
- Provider failures retain the source and use the existing bounded
recovery budget. The provider cannot substitute another allocation.
- The live probe uses a disposable sandbox and simulated
agent/external-effect counters. It does not prove a live LLM or GitHub
review journey.
- No schema, public API, permission, budget, pause, or approval changes.

DottaandPaperclip d33b40a5c3 fix: recover saved work and provide reliable task Retry (#16965)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The control plane must retain work when an execution or workspace
export fails.
> - Retained-workspace holds can leave saved input waiting with no
usable Retry action.
> - Users cannot verify process ownership or repair provider
allocations.
> - This pull request gives system recovery a durable budget and gives
each deliberate Retry a durable intent.
> - Safe recovery can preserve files, settle an accepted result, or
prepare an independent workspace.
> - One task state keeps infrastructure diagnostics out of the ordinary
conversation while preserving real permission and approval gates.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A task with a retained workspace can show recovery, failed-run and
saved-message warnings at the same time. Historical runs without native
workspace descriptors cannot use the native restore path. Old recovery
metadata can prevent a new attempt even when an independent workspace
would be safe.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip owns bounded infrastructure retries and file preservation. A
user can request another attempt with ordinary Retry. Thinking appears
immediately. The service preserves completed effects and current user
controls. It does not claim that starting fresh recovered the old files.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Retain a failed run and its workspace after export or process-stop
failure.
2. Save a follow-up while the recovery hold is active.
3. Open the task and try to continue without infrastructure credentials
or operator certification.

Refs #16906, #16835, #16883. This extends their recovery and receipt
contracts. Related work: #16962 and #16963.

## What Changed

- Add task-level Retry with company-scoped authorization, all-status
idempotency and durable admission before physical work. Keep exact-run
Retry compatible.
- Add typed recovery phases, finite persisted backoff, historical
adoption and durable local failure diagnostics.
- Preserve native workspaces or verified historical snapshots. Admit an
independent fresh workspace only after execution containment. Keep
old-source preservation and cleanup obligations separate.
- Carry completed publication and API receipts forward. Fence uncertain
mutation retries across replacement runs. Preserve connected-chat
identity and authorization.
- Re-enter normal dispatch for saved input. Reuse accepted results
through the existing finalizer.
- Use one task interruption projection across the thread, composer and
task list. Show optimistic Thinking, ordinary Retry and genuine user
gates.
- Add PostgreSQL, filesystem, API, browser-fixture and controlled
provider coverage. Document the behavior and update the feature/access
maps.

## Verification

- All GitHub Actions CI jobs pass on
`6d8c6d27d50586d8548b31d03b47f6d73a0ee11d`: typecheck, all
server/chat/workspace and serialized suites, Runner checks, eight
browser shards, canary and build. The required merge gate passes.
- Greptile reviewed the final commit at 5/5, with no actionable findings
or unresolved review threads. Its two earlier P1 findings are fixed.
- Full recursive typecheck and build pass locally on the final commit.
All 16 task Retry cases pass against isolated real PostgreSQL. The
unrelated-success case and both stale Retry cases fail on the previous
code and pass after the fix.
- The corrected gateway fixture passes its uncertain-mutation and
independent-read case. Four real HTTP API cases pass for definite
403/422 rejection, completed-effect reuse, and uncertain-effect fences
across deliberate and automatic retries. These focused gateway/API
checks used a temporary database lifecycle harness on an existing
healthy local PostgreSQL process. The standard repository helper is
unchanged.
- Earlier qualification covers 291 task UI cases, saved-file copyback
and ancestry, current Agent Chat ownership races, nine chat Retry API
browser cases, and six assembled browser recovery fixtures. A real
API/PostgreSQL/native-runner journey showed Thinking in 25 ms despite a
delayed response, admitted one successor in a separate workspace,
retained original files, and survived reload.
- The controlled Daytona test interrupts export, joins the controller,
restarts it in a separate process, and verifies one agent start, one
external sentinel operation, retained file contents and no premature
cleanup. It does not establish abrupt-kill or live LLM/GitHub
acceptance.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` was attempted and was not green: an
OAuth row-lock timing assertion failed, and a later suite exhausted
macOS PostgreSQL semaphores. The ten OAuth timing cases passed on rerun
against a separate database. Later embedded database initialization
failures remain recorded; the final CI matrix passes.
- Security scanning passed on production-code commit
`63953edf069b111c6becc3144dffa6deb52f68b5`. Its only successor changes
one test-fixture identity line. The final scan is neutral/inconclusive
because its pinned merge-base checkout failed or timed out. Both rerun
API requests returned 404, so no fresh successful scan is claimed.
Socket and Snyk checks pass on the final head.
- The optional Paperclip Review remains queued behind an earlier run in
workspace finalization. Its prior completed assessment was incomplete
because a comparison tool was blocked by the platform filter. It is not
counted as a completed code review. GitHub does not require this check
for merge.
- Hosted acceptance remains pending deployment. Local and CI results do
not establish recovery of a hosted task or its retained files.

## Risks

- Recovery changes span admission, physical ownership and dispatch.
Incorrect evidence could permit overlapping work. Existing physical
locks and authoritative stop requirements remain in place.
- The migration adds concurrent indexes. It requires the existing
top-level migration runner and retries incomplete index creation safely.
- A fresh attempt can complete while old-source preservation remains
unresolved. The service retains that obligation and does not report
those files as recovered.
- Unknown tool mutations remain blocked until their authoritative
receipt owner resolves them. Generic upstream tools have no universal
result-query protocol.
- Recovery and diagnostics stay inside the stack. No Cloud incident
endpoint, notification worker or new outbound reporting channel is
included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The runtime does not expose a more specific
model version or context-window size. The model used reasoning, shell
execution, source editing and browser tools. No model subagents were
used for this implementation.

DottaandPaperclip bc091f0a21 fix(recovery): recover retained workspaces before saved messages (#16906)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A stopped run can leave useful files in its original sandbox.
> - The server keeps that sandbox when it cannot confirm file copyback.
> - The task can then save new user input but offers no safe way to
recover the files.
> - A retry of the old agent turn can repeat work that already finished.
> - This pull request recovers files through the existing workspace
owner and delivers only saved human input.
> - The user can recover a task without certifying infrastructure facts
or losing completed work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16883 and #16835 for publication receipts and verified process
termination.
Related: #16478 clears stale holds after copyback already succeeded.
This change performs the missing export and records its proof. #16901
manages the main GitHub response comment and does not perform workspace
repair.

**What happened?**

A failed run retained its workspace. A later user message stayed saved
behind a file-repair hold. The task asked the user to verify process
termination and file recovery but offered no repair control. Sending a
message could show an optimistic Working state and move the task to Todo
before admission succeeded.

**Expected behavior**

The harness should recover the original files when it can prove
ownership and termination. It should preserve newer edits and completed
operations. Only waiting user input may start another turn. Missing
evidence must keep the source held with a specific explanation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Interrupt a sandbox run before workspace finalization succeeds.
2. Retain its exact allocation and save a user follow-up.
3. Observe the file-repair hold and missing end-user repair path.

## What Changed

- Add source-bound background recovery for native and legacy runs. An
accepted native result is not required.
- Share the physical copyback lock and durable owner. Resume only the
exact stopped allocation, export files, verify persistence and obtain a
fresh stop receipt.
- Persist retry limits and idempotent requests on the existing recovery
record. Limit each server to two background exports. Add an indexed
candidate scan and a separate cleanup obligation.
- Add a task-editor recovery endpoint. Deny agents and viewers. Reject
caller-supplied stop or repair claims.
- Deliver waiting human input once through ordinary admission. Preserve
pause, approval, budget and assignment gates. Require historical
conversational-adapter evidence for legacy-to-Runner continuation.
- Include exact GitHub publication receipts in continuation context.
Preserve unknown effects and the original failed run.
- Show observed recovery progress, a transient-failure retry action and
specific service blockers. Keep saved messages visible. Suppress false
startup feedback and implicit Todo promotion behind a file hold. Hide
unavailable workspace links.
- Update execution semantics, capability maps and production-component
stories.

## Verification

- Red: the original read model failed the new recovery-progress
assertion; the other 23 checks in that file passed.
- Passed: recovery regressions with 28 cases with real PostgreSQL,
files, tar and Git operations. Lifecycle provider calls are controlled
test boundaries. Coverage includes native/legacy export, concurrent
owners, rollback after export, interrupted archive export with a new
database connection, lost replies, historical discovery, durable retry
limits, separate cleanup and saved-input delivery. The actual candidate
query uses its partial index with 3,000 unrelated history rows. A first
automatic repair can bind verified old-controller stop proof without an
accepted native result. Review also reproduced and fixed export-only
continuation and cleanup lost after a committed repair. Cleanup remains
discoverable without waiting input and after task reconciliation.
- Passed: two GitHub integration cases verify that continuation context
carries the existing publication receipt and does not write another
response. Company and task boundaries are checked.
- Passed: 293 continuation, workspace-sync, platform-receipt and OpenAPI
checks. After file repair, actual dispatch retains pause, cancellation,
approval, real budget-policy and assignment gates.
- Passed: 174 route checks, including editor admission, agent/viewer
denial and rejection of fabricated repair claims.
- Passed: 351 task detail, workspace properties and comment-reopen
checks after updating the new read boundaries and asynchronous
workspace-link expectations. Two new route cases keep held tasks Blocked
when a comment is saved.
- Passed: 265 task-thread and recovery-notice checks. The broader
continuation suite also passed; its new legacy migration case first
exposed a gap that the focused recovery suite now covers.
- Passed after rebase: `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`. The later
master merge adds an unrelated permission migration; recovery migration
generation and safety checks passed after the merge.
- Passed: token gates, module boundaries, map structure and migration
checks. The recovery index is migration 0360 after current master.
- Browser: inspected the production recovery component and its
retry-to-queued transition with fixture data. The first dev dependency
load failed; a reload after optimization resolved it. This is UI
evidence, not a live provider recovery claim.
- Every test shard passed on final commit `bbbc09efb4`. The older local
`pnpm test:run` was stopped after the complete CI test matrix passed.
Local full typecheck and production build passed. The first CI build
compiled and booted, then lost its runner during the clean public
npm-install check. An isolated retry passed the build, production boot
and clean public npm-install verification.
- Greptile reviewed final commit `bbbc09efb4` at 5/5. All review threads
are resolved.
- The change is not deployed. Hosted recovery remains unverified until
the served revision includes this change.

## Risks

- Recovery crosses process, provider and persistence boundaries. Missing
or mismatched ownership, stop, descriptor or file evidence keeps the
hold. It never selects a replacement allocation or silently starts over.
- File recovery does not certify external action outcomes or authorize
replay. New input still uses normal execution admission.
- Historical sources without sufficient durable evidence can remain
blocked. Destructive reconstruction stays separate.
- The index migration is idempotent. It changes no task data. Snapshot
pruning follows repository policy.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, `gpt-6.1-sol`, with code execution and browser tools.
`gpt-6-astra` assisted earlier investigation. The runtime does not
expose the context-window size.
