DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 365c771030 fix(chat): give project and workspace tool results their page links (#20324)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - People ask a chat agent to take them to a project or to the files of
a task
> - The agent finds the right project or workspace, but it cannot link
the page
> - The `list_projects` and `list_workspaces` tool results have no page
route, and the chat link guidance names no project or workspace format
> - The agent then writes a bare path or a shortened directory that the
person cannot open
> - This pull request adds the page `href` to these tool results and
adds the project link format to the chat guidance
> - The benefit is that chat replies give a clickable link to the real
project or workspace page

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened**
In chat, a person asked "Take me to the Launch project and show its open
tasks." The agent found the project. Its reasoning said "There's no
project page route documented explicitly". The reply wrote the project
as a bare path `/COM/projects/<id>`, which is not clickable. In a second
chat, a person asked where the files of a task are. The agent named the
correct workspace but gave a shortened directory and no link.

**Expected behavior**
The reply links the project page (`/<prefix>/projects/<id>`) and the
task's workspace page (`/<prefix>/execution-workspaces/<id>`) as
Markdown links, so the person can open them.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a company with a project and a task that has a saved execution
workspace. Enable isolated workspaces.
2. In chat, ask the agent to take you to the project, or to say where
the task's files are.
3. Look at the reply. It has no project or workspace link.

Related: Refs #17985 (an earlier open PR that adds project and goal link
wording for newly created projects only). This PR covers project
discovery and workspaces and adds tool-result hrefs.

## What Changed

- `list_projects` rows now carry `href: /<prefix>/projects/<id>`. Both
the native runner tool authority and the MCP project-tools route pass
the company prefix.
- `get_workspace` and `list_workspaces` now carry `href:
/<prefix>/execution-workspaces/<id>`, only while isolated workspaces are
enabled. The workspace route redirects to the dashboard when the feature
is off, so no href is offered then.
- The chat link guidance (`AGENT_CHAT_DIRECTIVE`) adds the project link
format. It tells the agent to link a returned `href`, and to name a
workspace that has no `href` instead of linking it.
- Regression tests: guidance text against the registered UI route,
`callProjectTool` href, and an embedded-Postgres authority test for
project hrefs and the workspace flag on/off.

## Verification

- Red then green: the three new tests fail on `origin/master` source and
pass with this change.
- `npx vitest run` in `server/` for: `agent-conversations`,
`task-workspace-api`, `project-tools-pagination`,
`task-workspace-tools`, `chat-project-tools`, `dot-runner`,
`heartbeat-list` (prompt-size limits), `task-markdown`,
`muse-native-visibility`, `paperclip-runner-tool-authority`,
`runner-api`, `codex-local-execute`, `board-access-denial`. All pass.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server` passes.
- Live chat eval: see the comment on this PR for the paid runner E2E run
of `navigation-preferences.find-project-view` and
`workspaces.locate-files` with this change.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change adds one optional field to read-only tool
results. The output schemas allow extra fields.
- The guidance grows by two sentences. The prompt-size test in
`heartbeat-list.test.ts` passes.
- `list_projects` and the workspace tools now do one extra small read
(company prefix, and the instance experimental settings for workspaces).

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 7fd98682ca fix(workspaces): give every subtask its own execution workspace (#19860)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents split work into child tasks, and each task runs in an
execution workspace (a checkout, branch, or sandbox folder)
> - Since early 2026, a new child task used its parent's realized
workspace by default: the same checkout, branch and sandbox
> - A parent and its child often run at the same time. Two writers in
one folder lose each other's files, the waking parent is cancelled with
`workspace_busy`, and sandbox lease ownership crosses from the parent
into the child, so retained-file recovery refuses the workspace as
ambiguous
> - The product rule is simple: a subtask gets its own workspace,
independent of the parent's saved files. Paperclip never needs to carry
a parent's unmerged changes into a child
> - This pull request makes that the only behaviour on every creation
path, and moves existing shared children to their own workspace on their
next run, with no user or admin action
> - The benefit is that parents and children never block or overwrite
each other, and recovery ownership stays with one task

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A child task inherited its parent's realized execution workspace by
default (`createChild` defaulted to `executionWorkspaceInheritanceMode:
"linkage"`, and `issueService.create` fell back from
`inheritExecutionWorkspaceFromIssueId` to `parentId`). When the parent
woke while the child wrote to the shared workspace, the parent run was
cancelled with `workspace_busy`. In sandbox environments, the lease
ownership chain crossed from the parent into the child, and
retained-file recovery refused the workspace with
`allocation_ownership_ambiguous`.

**Expected behavior**
Every new child task gets its own execution workspace, realized from the
project base exactly as a top-level task in that project. It never uses
the parent's checkout, branch, saved snapshot or unmerged changes. A
parent and its descendant never share a workspace by any route.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a parent task in a project with isolated (git worktree) or
sandbox workspaces, so the parent has a realized execution workspace.
2. From the parent run, create a child task with only `parentId` (or
through the runner `create_task` tool, chat suggestions, decision
effects, plugins, or the New sub-task dialog).
3. See that the child's `executionWorkspaceId` is the parent's, with
`executionWorkspacePreference: "reuse_existing"`.
4. Wake the parent while the child runs in a sandbox environment. The
parent run is cancelled with `workspace_busy`.

**Additional context**
Refs #9233 (the existing `strategy_only` opt-out).
The opt-out `executionWorkspaceInheritanceMode: "strategy_only"` already
existed for accepted-plan decomposition. This change makes that
behaviour (tightened to drop a pinned existing branch) the only
behaviour.

## What Changed

- **One rule for every creation path
(`server/src/services/issues.ts`).** `issueService.create` still uses
the parent (or `inheritExecutionWorkspaceFromIssueId`) as a source for
the project, project workspace and workspace *strategy*, but it never
copies the source's `executionWorkspaceId`, `reuse_existing` preference,
or pinned existing branch. All server paths that create a task go
through `create()`/`createChild()`: issue routes (`POST /issues`, `POST
/issues/:id/children`, the run-bound default parent and run workspace
source), runner `create_task`, chat suggestion acceptance, native status
decisions, accepted-plan decomposition, decision effects, plugins
(`ctx.issues.create`), external agents, watchdog follow-ups, monitor
recovery issues, case handoffs and email channels.
- **Explicit ancestor workspaces are dropped.** If a create names an
`executionWorkspaceId` (or an `existing` workspace selection) that an
ancestor of the new task created or is bound to, `create()` drops it and
keeps only the strategy. Older clients and skills that copied the
parent's id keep working and get an independent workspace.
- **`createChild` no longer has a "linkage" mode.**
`executionWorkspaceInheritanceMode` is still accepted from internal
callers and is ignored.
- **`inheritExecutionWorkspaceFromIssueId` decision.** I kept the field
for API compatibility, but it now copies only the source issue's project
and workspace strategy. I removed its workspace-sharing behaviour for
every pair, not only parent/child: the source task and its follow-up can
run at the same time (the runner, watchdog and status-decision callers
all create the follow-up while the source run is live), so sharing would
again let two tasks write one folder. Explicit sharing between unrelated
tasks stays available through an explicit `existing` workspace
selection.
- **New `server/src/services/task-workspace-lineage.ts`.**
`buildIndependentTaskWorkspaceSettings` (strategy only: mode,
environment, runtime, network egress, shared-workspace concurrency, base
ref, branch template, commands; no `reuse_existing`, no
`operator_branch`, no `existingBranch`), `loadTaskLineageIssueIds` (the
parent chain plus, for a task that depth placement put beside its
requester, the requester's chain via `privacyParentIssueId`) and
`isAncestorExecutionWorkspace` (the workspace's `sourceIssueId` is in
that lineage, or a lineage issue is bound to it). A child in another
project does not take the parent's strategy.
- **Upgrade-safe rebind at admission.**
`executionWorkspaceService.releaseAncestorWorkspaceBindingAtAdmission`
runs at the same admission point as the pending workspace selection
(`heartbeat.ts`). For a child (or a flattened task beside its requester)
that an older release bound to an ancestor's workspace, it clears the
child's binding (keeps the project workspace and strategy, bumps the
binding revision) so the run realizes the child's own workspace. It does
nothing while another run of the child is running, while the child's
earlier run still owns workspace finalization or recovery, for native
restart/lease-owner recovery, for a process-loss retry, or for a Retry
that keeps the current workspace. The parent and its workspace are never
changed.
- **Projects without a project workspace (per-task repository
acquisition).** A parent with no project workspace worked in its own
task files, so its settings (for example `isolated_workspace`) do not
describe the project base. A child of such a parent, and an older child
released from one, takes the project's defaults exactly like a top-level
task, instead of an isolated mode that would resolve to a git worktree
with no git base ("needs a project / project workspace"). When the
child's new workspace is created at admission,
`executionWorkspaceRepositoryService.prepareForAdmission` repeats the
parent's (or requester's) repository requests as the child's own pending
requests (identity, URL, catalog id and requested ref only; no pinned
commit, branch or files). The normal acquisition path then clones a
fresh copy into the child's task files with the child's own access
checks. This runs only for a workspace created by that admission, so
existing tasks never gain repositories.
- **UI.** The New sub-task dialog no longer pre-selects the parent's
workspace. `buildSubIssueDefaults` drops `executionWorkspaceId` and
`reuse_existing`, and derives the parent's independent mode
(`shared_workspace`, `isolated_workspace` or `agent_default`) from its
preference, saved settings or current workspace. The "This sub-task will
no longer use the parent task workspace" warning is removed.
- **Contracts and docs.** Shared validator and plugin SDK comments
describe the new meaning of `inheritExecutionWorkspaceFromIssueId`.
Updated `doc/execution-semantics.md` (new rule in §6 and a wording fix
in the retained-sandbox paragraph), `doc/SPEC-implementation.md` (child
workspace rule, requester keeps *strategy* inheritance, watchdog
follow-ups), `doc/SPEC.md` (task workspace ownership),
`docs/specs/external-task-protocol.md`, `skills/paperclip/SKILL.md`
(step 9 and the workspace bullet),
`skills/paperclip/references/issue-workspaces.md`, the CEO onboarding
`HEARTBEAT.md`, and the plugin SDK README.

### Previous-release story (`rules/upgrade-safe-run-state.mdc`)

- **Migrated on next admission.** A child that the previous release
bound to its parent's (or any ancestor's) execution workspace keeps that
binding until its next normal admission. Then the server clears the
binding and the run realizes the child's own workspace from the project
base. No schema migration is needed. No user or admin action is needed.
- **In-flight writers finish first.** A running child is not
interrupted. Its current run, its native restart recovery (admitted
native input or lease owner), a process-loss retry, and a Retry that
keeps the current workspace all finish in the shared workspace. While a
child's earlier run is still running or its workspace finalization or
recovery is unsettled, the binding stays and a later admission releases
it.
- **No files are dropped.** The release changes only the child's binding
row. The parent keeps its binding, and the shared workspace row, folder,
branch and saved snapshots are not touched. Anything the child left
there stays in the parent's workspace.
- **No new refusal codes.** Saved run identity (native execution input,
leases, checkpoints) is not changed or refused; the rebind only affects
new admissions.

## Verification

- New `server/src/__tests__/subtask-workspace-independence.test.ts`
(embedded Postgres): `create` with `parentId`, `createChild` with no
mode / `"linkage"` / `"strategy_only"`,
`inheritExecutionWorkspaceFromIssueId` pointing at the parent, explicit
parent and grandparent `executionWorkspaceId`, a non-child follow-up,
and unchanged top-level defaults and explicit top-level reuse. 7
creation cases fail on `master` and pass with this change. Admission
cases: an old-release child is rebound while its parent is running and
the parent keeps its workspace; a running child is not rebound (deploy
lands mid-run); an unrelated explicit share is kept; the parent is never
rebound.
- New heartbeat case in
`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-busy.test.ts`: an old-release
child bound to its running parent's workspace in a sandbox environment
runs to `succeeded` with no `workspace_busy`, gets a new workspace, and
the parent run and binding stay unchanged. It fails on `master` (the
child waits with `workspace_busy`).
- Updated tests that asserted the old inheritance in
`issues-service.test.ts`, `task-workspace-binding.test.ts`,
`chat-project-tools.test.ts`, `task-workspace-child-trust.test.ts`,
`heartbeat-git-restore-point-resume.test.ts` (a child bound to a closed
parent's expired workspace now starts from the project base and leaves
the parent's restore point alone), and
`ui/src/lib/subIssueDefaults.test.ts`. Remote-workspace reservation,
continuation and writer-wait suites now seed the older-release shared
shape directly (or an unrelated explicit share), so those safety paths
stay covered.
- `npx vitest run` on the changed suites and about 45 related server
suites (heartbeat workspace, recovery admission, issue routes, routines,
plugins), `ui` `subIssueDefaults` and `NewIssueDialog` tests, `pnpm
check:token-gates`, `pnpm -r typecheck`.

- New
`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-subtask-acquired-repository.test.ts`: a
project with no project workspace, a parent whose task files hold an
acquired repository with an unmerged change, and a child (new, and the
older-release shape bound to the parent's workspace) that runs to
`succeeded` in its own task files with a fresh clone at the project base
and its own ready repository receipt. The parent's checkout keeps its
change. Both cases fail on the previous head with "needs a project /
project workspace".

## Risks

- **Project-level configuration still applies to children exactly as to
top-level tasks.** In a project configured for `shared_workspace`, every
task (top-level or child) uses the project's one folder under the
existing shared-workspace concurrency policy. A branch that the project
itself pins applies to every task in the project. This PR removes only
the parent-to-child carry-over of the realized workspace; it does not
change those project defaults.
- **Standalone follow-ups that an older release bound through
`inheritExecutionWorkspaceFromIssueId`** are migrated only when the
source is in their recorded lineage (parent or privacy parent). Others
keep their explicit share and the existing writer-wait serialization.

- **Behaviour change for agents that relied on a shared checkout.** A
child or follow-up no longer sees the parent's unpushed or uncommitted
changes. Agents must push or merge code they want a subtask to build on.
The skill and onboarding text now say this.
- **Explicit ancestor workspace ids are silently dropped** instead of
rejected, so older clients do not break. The task gets an independent
workspace.
- **First run of a migrated child starts from the project base.** If an
older child had uncommitted work in the parent's workspace, that work
stays in the parent's workspace and is not copied into the child's new
workspace.
- **Admission adds one indexed read** for tasks with a parent and a
bound workspace; the locking transaction and ancestor query run only
when the bound workspace was created by another issue.

DottaandPaperclip 55389554c2 fix(runner): paginate workspace discovery before journal persistence (#19311)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native agents discover reusable workspaces through
`list_workspaces`.
> - The tool returned every authorized workspace in one result.
> - A large inventory exceeded the durable command journal limit. The
result stayed pending, and session cleanup blocked the next turn.
> - This pull request limits discovery in SQL and returns explicit
continuation metadata.
> - Agents can inspect every authorized workspace without sending the
full inventory in one command.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #15749 introduced the task workspace tools. No duplicate
pagination fix was found.

**What happened?**

A native workspace discovery call returned a multi-megabyte inventory.
Persisting its result failed with `command_payload_too_large`. The
preceding answer could still be saved, but cleanup retained the
unsettled tool call. A later turn failed before provider work with
`native_session_cleanup_quarantined`.

**Expected behavior**

Workspace discovery must return a manageable page. Agents must be able
to request the remaining authorized rows. Existing visibility checks and
journal integrity checks must stay effective.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create 2,000 task-selectable workspaces with ordinary repository
paths.
2. Call `list_workspaces` from an admitted native run.
3. On the old code, the real API regression returns 869,781 bytes. The
command journal allows about 510 KiB.
4. On the repaired code, follow `nextCursor` to inspect all rows. Pages
contain at most 100 rows and fit within 128 KiB.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on source commit `7351a9d74f` before the repair.

**Deployment mode**

Isolated source checkout with real PostgreSQL and authenticated native
agent APIs. Hosted deployment and incident recovery remain separate.

## What Changed

- Validate workspace list limits and UUID cursors with a JSON Schema
pattern supported by strict validators. Return `workspaces`, `limit`,
`returnedCount`, `hasMore`, and `nextCursor`.
- Apply company, visibility, lifecycle, and cursor conditions before the
SQL limit. Order pages by workspace ID. Fetch one extra row to detect
continuation without a count query.
- Fit encoded pages within 128 KiB, including JSON escaping and Unicode.
If one summary cannot fit, return explicit string previews with
`truncatedFields`. The authorized detail API retains its full record.
- Keep existing unpaged summary callers on their array response and
recent-use order.
- Update the native tool descriptor, generated contracts, catalog
fixture, and execution documentation.
- Add regression coverage for large inventories, complete pagination,
stable pages, private and foreign rows, invalid inputs, and legacy
summary behavior. Add an opt-in two-turn live Codex acceptance check.

## Verification

- Red before repair: `task-workspace-api.test.ts -t "pages a large
authorized workspace inventory"` failed because the result was 869,781
bytes instead of below 128 KiB. The transport regression also failed at
2,284,671 bytes.
- Green after repair and review changes: 120 tests passed across the
workspace API, transport, routes, native authority, coordinator,
historical-question, and Codex vertical-slice suites. They cover
complete discovery, byte-sized pages, oversized individual summaries,
full detail retrieval, private/foreign/lifecycle exclusions, and strict
schema compatibility.
- Journal safety: two focused durable control-plane tests passed.
Oversized result rejection and lossless valid result delivery remain
effective.
- Tool catalog and reconciliation: 30 tests passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm build`: passed again on final commit `bc10880da6`. Server
typecheck also passed after the review changes. The original affected
suites passed on the rebased first commit (31 tests), and the expanded
review regression set passed afterward (120 tests).
- Real provider acceptance passed again on final commit `bc10880da6`:
local macOS arm64, rebuilt native Runner, `gpt-6.1-sol`, high effort,
per-turn lifecycle, and 2,000 persisted workspaces. Both turns
succeeded. Persisted call inputs and results prove that the second page
uses the first result’s cursor, both calls succeed, their IDs do not
overlap, and the encoded results stay within 128 KiB. The second turn
kept the provider conversation and file. Both task locks were clear
after completion, and no recovered execution failure was recorded.
Duration: 166.92 seconds.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` stopped in the chat shard: 330 tests passed
and one Slack registration test failed with `socket hang up`. That exact
test passed in isolation without changes, and the final-head CI chat
shards passed. A broader local managed-Slack follow-up produced no
result after about eight minutes and was interrupted; it is not counted
as a pass. The original full-suite failure remains recorded.
- The first CI head failed native tool-schema compilation because strict
validators did not recognize `format: uuid`. The revised descriptor uses
a UUID pattern. The previously failing coordinator, native
vertical-slice, authority, and history suites now pass locally. The
stronger live cursor-receipt acceptance check passed. Final-head CI
completed on `bc10880da6`: 57 checks passed and five optional checks
were skipped, with no failures or pending checks. Greptile reviewed that
commit at 5/5; both prior findings are resolved.
- Dependency cost: paged discovery runs the existing visibility-scoped
summary query with an ID cursor and at most 101 returned rows. It adds
no count query, filesystem scan, provider call, or background worker.

## Risks

- Native `list_workspaces` now returns a page object instead of an
array. Individual summaries can be explicit previews when a single
record exceeds the byte budget. Its advertised descriptor and generated
contracts change together. Agents must follow `nextCursor` until null
for a complete inventory.
- Each page rechecks current visibility. Concurrent insertions,
deletions, or access changes require a fresh scan when a complete
point-in-time inventory is needed.
- No migration or journal-limit change. An existing cleanup quarantine
still requires normal recovery after deployment; this PR does not bypass
it.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, shell tools, code editing,
and test execution. The exact served model revision and context window
are not exposed in this session.

eece07a747 fix: repair the complete projectless repository setup chain (#17088)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage agents that do useful work.
> - A projectless task can prepare an authorized repository in its
retained workspace.
> - Setup must hand work to a later run without user supervision.
> - Real task attempts exposed gaps across admission, completion, and
queue dispatch.
> - A successful provider exit did not prove that the requested result
was delivered.
> - This PR repairs the existing lifecycle and checks the complete
repository journey.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17047. This PR includes the preserved repairs from #17049, #17052,
and #17082.

**What happened?**

A projectless native task could stop after requesting a repository. It
could also continue through a timer or generic recovery path and lose
its saved conversation lineage. The latest real Codex and Claude
attempts delivered correct files, but the native continuation had been
folded into the finishing predecessor. Both attempts remain failed
measurements.

**Expected behavior**

Prepare the authorized repository, retain the original context, and
dispatch one saved continuation after its predecessor finishes. Deliver
the verified result in the originating conversation. Stop, current
access, approval, and real blocker rules remain authoritative.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the explicit automatic-repository suite for native Codex or Claude.
Inspect the downloaded result, original context artifact, both committed
run records, and continuation receipts. The suite uses one attempt and
does not widen the default paid selection.

## What Changed

- Resolve the retained local-board identity through current company
membership and workspace authority.
- Prepare required source dependencies before the isolated server
imports native tool authority.
- Explain the saved repository continuation in production completion
tools. Correct only the exact pending-checkout blocker backed by a live
receipt. Reject an unfinished response wait without a real response
source.
- Preserve the persisted task-session workspace source and its explicit
absence of root repository context. Permit Git's exact no-repository
result only for a validated plain task directory. Keep other Git errors
and linked metadata strict.
- Revalidate server-resolved same-agent continuation values against
current ownership and the saved kind, summary, and key. Carry this shape
through the internal bridge schema. Keep provider-facing schemas
restrictive.
- Preserve terminal result authority after a correlated successful
controller response. Controller rejection creates no result authority.
Bind the shared guidance and transport source in Copilot v55 and
preserve historical identities.
- Admit native status wakes with the existing no-coalescing contract.
The existing deferred queue retains a distinct future dispatch instead
of retagging the finishing run.
- Recover deferred conversation lineage through the actual admitted
dispatch. Accept a null outbox run binding only with matching decision,
effect, dispatch actor, idempotency, task, company, agent, and requester
evidence. Reject a conflicting nonnull binding.
- Independently grade retained random context, actual checkout bytes and
HEAD, accessible output, distinct continuation receipts, and admission
order.

## Verification

- Real database and Git regressions fail before their repairs. Prior
focused cohorts cover local-board authority, optional repository waits,
plain task directories, and first/reused workspace provenance.
- The new valid decision/effect-backed assembled-heartbeat regression
reproduces coalescing into its active predecessor before the queue
repair. With the repair, it dispatches one successor after the
predecessor finishes. Duplicate sweeps create no extra run.
- The deferred-outbox conversation regression fails before its repair.
The repaired test also rejects a conflicting predecessor binding.
- The current queue, continuation, publication, cancellation,
stale-admission, and domain cohort passes 344 checks across 11 suites.
Server and Product E2E typechecks pass. The strengthened
automatic-repository oracle passes 34 calibration checks.
- Three omitted/null/resolved forms pass through the compiled Rust
runner and controlled provider. The prior shared bridge cohort passes
492 TypeScript checks and 399 Rust core checks. Runner source identity,
TypeScript, Rust formatting, and locked Rust typechecks pass.
- Six real local development cells passed ordinary repository,
conversion, and necessary-question journeys. Independent artifacts and
rendered question/result evidence agree. They do not qualify staging or
Slack.
- Both latest automatic-repository attempts delivered correct files but
failed the strict continuation check. They remain failures. A fresh
replay of this queue repair is pending.
- On the combined candidate `380047f4b923807a8c4f7ef6016e4fe130ab4a3a`,
`pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass. Product E2E support passes
3,525 checks with two existing skips, plus 128 source checks. The
complete local `pnpm test:run` is running and is not yet a pass.
- The first replay selection failed catalog validation due to an
operator profile-ID error. A second selection used the wrong
default-model suite and was cancelled before any provider job existed.
Both setup attempts remain recorded. The corrected campaign selects the
recorded GPT-6.1 and Opus 5.5 models plus the local Stop/resume journey.
- Exact-head CI, review, and deployment acceptance remain pending.
GitHub reports delayed PR updates and webhook delivery; the current head
and checks have now propagated. No earlier-head green badge establishes
acceptance of this commit.

## Risks

This changes several boundaries of repository setup. Full product and
deployment acceptance remain required. The queue uses the existing
deferred admission and delivery contracts. Batch deduplication remains
in place. The provenance repair requires the actual bound dispatch and
does not grant publication authority. Current authorization is still
checked at publication. No accepted provider result is rewritten, and
completed provider work is not rerun to repair persistence or delivery.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository tools and code execution.
The runtime does not expose its exact deployment ID or context-window
size. Those values are not inferred.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 00331e0254 Connect native Runner admission to plugin-owned workspaces (#16978)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work for AI agents.
> - A plugin can own an execution environment and its files.
> - #17029 supplies the task driver and bounded setup verification.
> - Heartbeat still prepares workspace files on Core and expects a shell
transport.
> - This PR gives the selected plugin ownership of workspace preparation
and native task execution.
> - Core keeps admission, tool authority, and recovery checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Heartbeat workspace admission and native Runner execution.

**Problem or motivation**

A task-only plugin cannot run through Core filesystem staging or shell
execution. Native admission and recovery must use the same lease and
workspace ownership.

**Proposed solution**

Use the task driver from #17029. Resolve workspace and project
identities without Core file operations. Connect native dispatch and
restart recovery to that driver.

**Alternatives considered**

Keep workspace admission and dispatch in one change. A workspace change
alone would leave dispatch on the previous transport. An execution
change alone would leave Core staging files for the wrong host.

## What Changed

- Enable plugin environment selection for native workspace sessions.
- Resolve workspace metadata and authorized project references without
Core checkout, copy, or provision operations.
- Preserve agent-default and primary workspace policies. Use the pinned
workspace provider for plugin-backed project storage. Reject unsupported
Core service commands and cross-owner reuse.
- Connect native execution to the prepared task driver. Keep assigned
MCP authority on Core.
- Save exact checkpoint identity, transfer selected account refreshes,
and require termination proof before replacement or cleanup.
- Complete managed plugin workspaces through their storage provider. Use
the same check after a restart. Keep branch validation and leave
task-owned files on the plugin.
- Include default instruction content in runtime synchronization when no
instruction directory exists.
- Defer new-agent Copilot verification until the saved-agent lifecycle
can acquire the agent-owned computer.

## Verification

- Rebased onto `origin/master` at `898144f4b3`. Master advanced once
during verification. Both manual conflicts joined import blocks: one in
`native-session-executor.ts`, and one in
`heartbeat/runtime-execution.ts`. The seven patches retain their logic.
The first rebased head passed repository typecheck, build, all 862
focused execution/finalizer cases, and all CI gates. The latest head
`93e5a72892` passes server typecheck and all 880 focused execution,
finalization, and execution-control notification tests. All 54 CI/review
checks pass, with two expected skips. Greptile ran automatically and
scored this head 5/5 with no unresolved findings. No new review or Apex
request was made for these import-only resolutions.
- The successful CI workflow initially left three stale job-check
reports. Targeted policy and summary reruns cleared the reports. No
source change or test fix was needed.
- Repository typecheck and build pass: `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm
build`.
- Focused native execution and restart tests pass: 795 cases. The
account and harness suites pass: 159 cases. Workspace admission passes:
48 cases. The SDK task lifecycle, workspace API, runtime-hook, and
instruction checks also pass.
- The heartbeat integration case uses the merged workspace provider
contract and reaches native dispatch with no project files on Core. The
new-agent case confirms that creation leaves the agent in `preparing`
until lifecycle verification.
- Map validation and the Copilot source-identity check pass. No Runner
implementation or source-identity bump is in this PR.
- The first rebased workspace run found two stale path assertions and a
recovery guard that did not recognize task-owned targets. These are
fixed. The storage integration fixture also needed its persisted source
binding; the production authorization check stays in place.
- Two prior review findings required rejection of Core service startup
and cross-owner workspace reuse. The existing admission fixtures now
check both failures. The installed-account authentication finding was
fixed in merged #17029.
- Tests reuse the current fixtures. No new provider test matrix or live
Runner process is added for these fixes.
- The prior head `2db273ec12` passed CI on its first attempt and reached
standard Greptile 5/5. Apex scored 4/5 and found local-folder checks
during plugin completion and recovery.
- The completion fix reproduces both failures. It passes all 110 cases
in the runtime execution, workspace finalizer, and workspace provider
integration suites. Server typecheck and map checks pass. CI passed on
`62d8335b4e` on its first attempt, and standard Greptile scored 5/5. The
next Apex review scored 4/5. It found that a failed plugin inspection
could abort restart recovery.
- The restart fix records a failed workspace receipt and uses the
current run retry policy. A regression first reproduced the aborted
pass. It now checks retry state, retained results, and completion of
another workspace in the same pass. All 68 finalizer cases and server
typecheck pass. CI passed on `7d4016323b` on its first attempt. Standard
Greptile and Apex both scored 5/5. Apex left one P2 about lost failure
codes.
- The diagnostic fix keeps the known branch and owner mismatch codes in
receipts and run recovery state. It gives repair guidance for those
codes and keeps unknown plugin errors generic. All 96 affected finalizer
cases and server typecheck pass. Before the rebase, required CI passed
on `c2fa61c6c8` on its first attempt. Standard Greptile and Apex both
scored 5/5 on that head, with no unresolved findings. The new head
retains these reviewed patches.
- The earlier Superagent scan on `c2fa61c6c8` was inconclusive after a
pinned merge-base checkout failed or timed out. The current scan on
`93e5a72892` passes.
- The exact rebased head passes all 48 workspace cases and server
typecheck. The first local test launch could not bind PostgreSQL inside
the sandbox. The authorized local-server run passed.
- The prior head reached standard Greptile 5/5. Its first CI run hit an
unchanged Runner cleanup timeout and an external build-runner shutdown.
Both jobs passed on the single retry. The timeout cause is not
established.
- A local regression check found that a retained Core workspace could
also enter a plugin task without file transfer. Core now rejects this
move before provider work. The existing ledger test covers both
directions and confirms that the source files stay intact.
- The first active standard review scored 4/5. It found that a fresh
plugin retry could enter Core Git preparation. This mode now uses the
existing unsupported-storage error before workspace resolution or
acquisition. Both unsupported-mode cases pass, and server typecheck
passes.
- No live Cloud or provider validation was run.

## Risks

- The prerequisite #17029 is merged. This PR targets master.
- Native plugin tasks support per-turn workspace sessions. Core service
commands and fresh retries that import retained files remain
unsupported. A workspace storage plugin can use the modes and strategies
it declares.
- Core-managed credentials support Codex and direct Claude accounts.
Other managed credential routes fail closed. Other harnesses can use an
installed account.
- A provider must preserve its prepared configuration and report process
termination correctly. Uncertain termination keeps the task pending
cleanup.
- Cloud deployment and live provider validation remain separate.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. The exact model ID and context window are not
exposed in this session. Tool use includes code editing, local tests,
and the GitHub CLI.

DottaandPaperclip dff63551fe fix: resume unfinished work after repository preparation (#17047)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents that perform work for a company.
> - Task repositories are prepared at normal run admission.
> - A running native task can stage a repository while its work remains
unfinished.
> - The controller did not offer that saved setup as a continuation.
> - The agent could add a timer or wait for a user restart.
> - This change uses the existing same-agent continuation and status
ledger.
> - The accepted explanation and proven conversation remain available
after setup.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17045. That prerequisite has merged. This PR targets master.

**What happened?**

A projectless native task can request a repository for the next
admission. An unfinished task has no server-selected repository
continuation. An explicit same-agent continuation also loses chat
provenance.

**Expected behavior**

An unfinished standard task can yield and resume through the existing
admission queue. Its explanation and final result retain the authorized
conversation. A task that only stages a repository can complete without
another run.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native standard task in a task directory.
2. Request an authorized repository through prepare_repository.
3. Yield with unfinished work and no explicit continuation.
4. Observe that the former driver rejects the yield, although the
pending repository is saved.

## What Changed

- Offer a saved same-agent continuation for the current task's pending
repository.
- Accept that current server continuation in the shared provider driver.
- Resolve chat provenance through applied status decisions, delivered
effects, and admitted wakes.
- Preserve accepted setup explanations without repeating an owned
question card.
- Document optional reproduction details and configured repository
discovery.
- Extend database regressions and workspace access maps.
- Preserve Copilot profile v52 and bind the shared continuation source
in v53. Include the active identity in the QA image fingerprint.

## Verification

- Five focused server suites: 100 checks pass.
- Shared continuation driver: 12 checks pass.
- Server typecheck passes.
- Map contract and whitespace checks pass.
- Existing API and driver assertions fail on the former implementation.
- Real dispatcher and queue cohort: 43 checks pass. The original
reply-loss regression fails before the dispatch receipt fix.
- Continuation driver and installation identity cohort: 62 checks pass.
- Regenerated capability inventory and contract checks pass.
- Final response precedence cohort: 109 checks pass. The stale-comment
case fails on the former implementation.
- All required CI checks, build, and both source reviews pass on
b9c8677635.
- Live provider journeys and deployed acceptance remain pending. No live
qualification is claimed.

## Risks

A pending repository now offers a next admission when unfinished
standard work yields. Incorrect eligibility could create unwanted work.
The lookup requires the current workspace and task. Explicit completion
does not use it. Existing Stop, admission, approval, and transport
authorization remain authoritative. No schema or public task-status
change is included. The shared continuation change requires a new
Copilot source identity. This PR preserves v52 history and does not
claim fresh Copilot live qualification.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository tools and code execution.
The runtime does not expose its exact deployment ID or context-window
size. Those values are not inferred.

DottaandPaperclip 813e808af4 Remove filesystem history authorization from workspace preparation (#16963)
Remove physical-root source/reader authorization and sticky directory classifications from workspace preparation. Preserve current task/run authority, app-record privacy, credential authorization, containment, and lifecycle/publication integrity.

Validate replacement selections against persisted new inputs and refresh verified checkout ownership so bounded reuse survives earlier workspace relocation. Add real PostgreSQL/Git regressions, a reproducible history-scaling benchmark, and documentation.

Full CI passed all 48 jobs and Greptile scored 5/5 at 3d5da6c259. Five preparation-guard medians improved from 20,512.99 ms to 52.22 ms on the 8,500-workspace fixture; these are not end-to-end startup timings.
