DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 d728be8fbf fix(native): re-bootstrap a Daytona runner restarted before session.open (#19583)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs on Daytona start a `paperclip-runnerd` process in a
sandbox. The local control plane keeps the runner's controller state in
an encrypted Postgres checkpoint.
> - When the control plane restarts, restart recovery classifies each
live native run and decides to reattach, resume, bootstrap again, or
hold the task.
> - A restart chaos wave killed the control plane twice while a Daytona
runner was connecting. The run was claimed and the sandbox runner was
launched, but `session.open` never completed. No provider evidence
existed.
> - Recovery waited correctly for the old 60 s controller lease to
expire. Then the classifier had no rule for a claimed remote bootstrap.
It returned `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence` and blocked the task as
"Workspace repair required".
> - The controller writes each command to the Postgres checkpoint before
it sends it. After the lease expires, that checkpoint is the complete
record of what reached the sandbox runner.
> - This pull request lets recovery prove from that checkpoint that no
provider work exists, and then start the same-run bootstrap again.
> - The benefit is that a restart during Daytona runner startup
continues automatically instead of stopping the task.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A restart during Daytona remote runner startup (native ACPX Claude, two
SIGKILLs about 20 s apart) left the task blocked. The run history showed
`remote_controller_lease_live` twice, then
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence` with disposition `blocked`. The
task showed "Workspace repair required"
(`native_restart_recovery_blocked`) and did not continue.

**Expected behavior**

When the durable controller record proves that the runner received only
bootstrap commands, recovery continues the run with a fresh bootstrap.
Any evidence of provider work keeps the hold.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native run on a Daytona environment.
2. Kill the control plane after the sandbox runner connects and before
`session.open` completes.
3. Restart the control plane and wait for the old controller lease to
expire.
4. See that restart recovery blocks the task with
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.

Root cause:
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-restart-recovery.ts`
`classifyNativeRunnerRecoveryEvidence`, remote branch. It admitted only
an unclaimed bootstrap (`remote_execution_never_claimed`, #16349) or a
run with a provider checkpoint. A claimed bootstrap with no provider
evidence fell through to `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.

The decrypted checkpoint of the failed run held `connectionCount: 1`,
`run.prepare` delivered once and pending, `session.open` pending and
never delivered, no committed events, and `ackedSourceSeq: 0`.

Refs #16349, #19524

## What Changed

- `native-bootstrap-proof.ts`: move the incomplete-bootstrap predicates
from the executor into a small pure module. Restart recovery and the
executor now use the same proof. No behavior change.
- `native-runner-checkpoint.ts`: add
`nativeRunnerCheckpointProvesIncompleteBootstrap`. It reads only a
checkpoint with the bootstrap parts (header, cursor, `command:1`,
`command:2`), checks the run, runner instance, and session identity, and
applies the shared proof. A remote runner journal is not on this host,
so the proof uses the controller record alone.
- `native-restart-recovery.ts`: for a classic sandbox run whose owner
lease has expired, with a durable checkpoint, no session checkpoint, no
provider evidence, and no staged attachment, claim
`bootstrap_incomplete` with the reason
`remote_bootstrap_proven_incomplete` when the checkpoint proof holds. At
three provider attempts, block with
`execution_recovery_budget_exhausted`.
- `native-session-executor.ts`: add
`restoreRemoteBootstrapCheckpointForRecovery`. For a
`bootstrap_incomplete` recovery on a sandbox target, it restores the
Postgres checkpoint over the local external-state marker. The existing
incomplete-bootstrap proof then checks the restored state before it
quarantines the root and bootstraps again.
- `doc/run-log-events.md`: document the new disposition reason.

## Verification

- Red, then green: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts
-t "remote bootstrap"`. Before the fix, the proven case and the budget
case returned `blocked` / `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`.
- New cases: the proven claimed bootstrap gets `bootstrap_incomplete`
(attempt kept, generation +1, run still `running`, no recovery action).
The hold stays for a queued `turn.start`, an acknowledged event, adopted
state, no checkpoint, and a spent budget. The executor helper restores
the checkpoint only for a bootstrap recovery on a classic sandbox and
only over a marker for the same run.
- Regression set: `native-runner-restart-recovery.integration`,
`native-session-executor`, `native-restart-recovery`,
`native-bootstrap-retry.integration`, `heartbeat/recovery`: 1383 passed,
14 skipped.
- Live Daytona replay of the failing chaos task (double SIGKILL during
remote runner startup), 3 runs: REPLAY_RESULTS

## Risks

- A fresh bootstrap acquires a new sandbox. The old sandbox keeps its
lease until run settlement releases all run leases. The old runner gets
no turn command, because only the controller issues one and the new
controller never connects to it.
- If `session.open` reached the old runner, the old provider session can
exist without a turn. No provider work or tool call can happen in it.
- Any checkpoint shape other than the bootstrap-only shape keeps the
previous fail-closed hold.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits, GitHub CLI) and extended reasoning.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 dc1adb7209 fix(tasks): advertise a native resume only while the scheduler would claim it (#19523)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When a native run cannot reattach to its provider after a
control-plane restart, the native coordinator resumes the same run by
itself after about 30 seconds, up to three attempts
> - The run projection shows this correctly as "Retry scheduled" with
only `inspect_run` permitted
> - The task interruption shown on the issue read only system-recovery
evidence and `scheduledRetryAt`. It never read the coordinator's
`nextAttemptAt`, so it showed `state: failed, canRetry: true` and
offered a manual Retry while the automatic resume was still pending
> - The two surfaces disagree, and a user click can race the automatic
resume. That is one way a Retry gets parked behind "execution checks"
> - #19503 made the task interruption read the coordinator's pending
resume time. Review found that the coordinator also pushes that time
forward while it defers an ineligible candidate, so a reassigned or
blocked task could hide Retry for good
> - This pull request advertises the resume only while the scheduler's
synchronous admission checks pass
> - The benefit is one consistent story: while the automatic resume is
pending, the task shows it with its time and no competing Retry. If
recovery ends, exactly one Retry returns

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Follow-up to #19503. Refs #19487, #19497.

**What happened?**
A native run failed with `native_session_interrupted` after a restart.
Its finalization row had `phase: retryable_failure` and `nextAttemptAt`
30 seconds later. The run projection said "Retry scheduled". The issue
interruption said `state: failed, canRetry: true, nextRetryAt: null`.

**What did you expect?**
While the automatic resume is pending, the task shows that it is
resuming, with the time, and no Retry. When the resume fails for good or
never runs, exactly one Retry that works on the first click.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a native task and restart the control plane so the native attach
fails.
2. Read `GET /api/issues/:id` while the coordinator's resume is pending.
3. Observe `interruption.canRetry: true` while `execution.phase` is
`retry_scheduled`.

## What Changed

- `task-interruption-presentation.ts`: the pending-resume read now also
requires the task to be in a resumable status, assigned to the run's
agent, not owned by another execution or checkout run, the run's
question not cancelled, and the agent invokable (not paused, terminated
or pending approval). These mirror `readNativeSessionResumptionAgent`.
- `native-session-resumption-statuses.ts`: one shared status set used by
both the scheduler admission and the read model.
- No time cap: provider cooldowns and remote backoff schedules stay
visible as a pending resume.

## Verification

- `task-interruption-query.test.ts` (embedded Postgres): a reassigned
task and a blocked task show one Retry; a paused agent asks to be
resumed; in each case `readNativeSessionResumptionAgent` also refuses
the candidate, so the read model and the scheduler agree. A resume an
hour out (provider cooldown) stays `retry_scheduled` with no Retry. Red
on master for the reassigned case.
- All 57 presentation and query tests pass. Server typecheck passes.

## Risks

- Low risk. Read model only.
- A review-assignment resume (reviewer is not the assignee) shows Retry
instead of the pending resume. That is the safe fallback.
- Deferrals for a pause hold, dependency readiness or a competing run
are not mirrored. Those gates also hold a manual Retry, so no competing
action appears.
- The `POST /issues/:id/retry` endpoint is unchanged.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file editing, embedded Postgres tests).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 4938a930d6 fix(budgets): stop pending or restart-lost accounting from hard-stopping companies (#19497)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Budget admission and run accounting decide whether any task in a
company may start
> - A control-plane restart that kills a provider turn mid-flight can
lose that turn's final usage receipt. ACPX Claude reports usage only at
turn end, so the receipt never becomes complete
> - Accounting kept such a run "awaiting receipt" forever. Every later
admission in the company then refused with "completed runs await
accounting", and the budget evaluator opened a hard-stop incident that
paused the company. No product action could clear it: raising the budget
refuses while runs await accounting, accounting retry finds no new data,
and allowing unpriced usage does not apply to pending runs
> - Restart chaos waves showed this as a dead task Retry, a new task
blocked as "over budget" at 22 of 500 cents, and a hard stop that
cancelled queued Retries and an unrelated running task
> - This pull request closes the debt from evidence: once native
recovery reaches terminal failure and the provider stop is verified, the
known part settles as an unpriced charge. Until then the run holds new
work as recovering accounting, without a hard stop
> - The benefit is that a restart no longer bricks a company with a hard
budget. The operator's unpriced-usage policy decides admission, and
unknown spend still never shows as zero cost

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19399, #19426, #19431 (earlier restart Retry fixes; this is the
budget layer under the same journey).

**What happened?**
After a control-plane SIGKILL during an ACPX Claude turn, the killed run
ended `native_provider_terminal_failed` with
`usage_json.accountingReceiptReady = false` and `cost_accounting_pending
= true`. It stayed that way for good. The task Retry was accepted but
parked with `budget.blocked` ("Company cannot start work while completed
runs await accounting"), which the UI showed as "Retry is waiting for
execution checks". A new Codex task was escalated to `blocked` with "the
original recovery target is over budget" while the company had spent 22
of 500 cents. After the next restart the budget evaluator opened a
hard-stop incident (`amount_observed` 22.08 < 500), paused the company
and cancelled both queued Retries.

**What did you expect?**
A restart should not stop the company. Unknown usage from a stopped
provider should become an honest, operator-governed state, and Retry
should start a run.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Give a company a hard-stop budget.
2. Start an ACPX Claude task and SIGKILL the control plane mid-turn, so
the resumed turn fails.
3. Observe the run stay `cost_accounting_pending` with an incomplete
receipt, and every new admission refuse.

## What Changed

- `budgets.ts`: completed runs that await accounting now hold new work
only. They no longer open a hard-stop incident, pause the company, place
an agent budget hold, or deliver Stop to running work. Only spend at the
limit, or unpriced usage under a blocking policy, does that. Chaos wave
A and a pre-restart lifecycle cell showed the wedge: a run that had just
succeeded stayed terminal for about 100 ms before its charge committed,
the evaluator paused the company in that gap, and the Stop it delivered
left a cancelled run whose receipt never closed.
- `run-cost-accounting.ts`: a failed native run is a closed receipt
source only with positive stop evidence: its finalization is
`terminal_failure` with no result (not a finalization-deadline failure),
it no longer records a process identity, and its latest server-authored
process event is `native.local_process_stopped`. One SQL predicate
serves the reconciler scan and settlement. Accounting now settles its
known part as an `unpriced` charge instead of waiting forever. The
background reconciler selects these runs. The reservation settles. Other
incomplete receipts stay pending as before. A cancelled run keeps its
existing accounting drain, so Stop recovery can still deliver its final
receipt.
- `native-local-process-stop.ts` and its transactional callers:
releasing a verified local or remote process stop wakes the accounting
worker, so the closed debt settles promptly.
- `usage-receipts.ts`: a charge settled without its receipt is marked
`accountingReceiptUnavailable`. A later complete receipt that carries
its own price (including a rate-card price) corrects it. A receipt with
no own price and unchanged usage does not reopen the hold.
- `budget-exposure.ts`: the blocking unpriced-usage policy no longer
counts a charge settled from a lost receipt with no observed usage. That
is unknown, not "usage with no reliable price". Complete receipts that
report no tokens (for example Cursor Cloud) still count. A live wave
under the default policy hard-stopped its company at 0 of 500 cents on
one such charge.
- `budget-exposure.ts`: a terminal-failure native run with an
incomplete, not capture-failed receipt counts as recovering accounting.
Admission holds new work ("New work must wait while a native run
recovers its unfinished accounting") without a hard-stop incident, a
company pause or cancellation of running work.
- `recovery/service.ts`: the stranded-work comment names the actual
budget gate instead of always saying "over budget".
- `task-interruption-presentation.ts`: a Retry parked by
`budget.blocked` says it waits for the budget, not for "execution
checks".
- `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`: documents the closed-receipt contract
next to the existing incomplete-receipt rule.

## Verification

- New embedded-Postgres suite
`server/src/__tests__/closed-native-receipt-accounting.test.ts`, built
from the persisted shape of the killed run:
- Red before the fix: the run stayed pending, `reconcileRunCosts`
accounted 0, and admission refused with "completed runs await
accounting".
- Debt stays pending with no verified stop event, with a
finalization-deadline failure, with a recorded process identity, and
while the coordinator can still produce a result.
- Under a blocking policy, a lost receipt with no usage does not
hard-stop; one with tokens still blocks. A run with a still-recorded
process identity paused the company with a hard-stop incident.
- Green after: the stopped run settles as one `unpriced` charge with the
reservation settled; admission is clear under an `allow` policy and
names "no reliable price" under `block`; a run with a recorded process
identity or a non-terminal coordinator stays pending; the closing window
holds admission without an incident or pause; a final receipt that
arrives later still enters late-receipt reconciliation.
- Pending accounting from a run that just finished holds admission with
no incident, no pause, no enforcement version bump, and an unrelated
running run stays running. Red before the `budgets.ts` change: the
company was paused.
- A later priced receipt corrects the unavailable charge to its price;
an unpriced one leaves it settled.
- `task-interruption-presentation.test.ts`: the `budget.blocked` Retry
wait message.
- `budget-enforcement-scoping.test.ts`: the accounting-hold release
cases now assert that pending accounting places no budget hold and that
admission clears after settlement.
- Existing suites pass locally: all budget suites (control publication,
enforcement scoping, enforcement worker, evaluation work, live attempts,
history, service, live usage, budget cancellation),
native-stop-accounting, explicit-native-continuation,
native-case-handoff, cost-data-quality, heartbeat-cost-accounting,
run-cost-accounting, native-usage-delivery. Server typecheck passes.
- Runner e2e cell
`lifecycle-baseline.runner-codex.local.lifecycle-dependency-restart-neutral`,
which failed on master with a false agent budget hold before any
restart, passes on this branch.
- Live restart-chaos wave (local runner, K1 SIGKILL, codex + 2× ACPX
Claude + OpenCode, 4 restarts, company policy `unpricedUsagePolicy:
allow`) with the accounting fix: every killed run settled (no
`cost_accounting_pending` left), the company stayed active, the OpenCode
Retry completed the task on the first click and the Codex Retry finished
its task. That wave also exposed a 1-second false hard stop in the
closing window (observed 0 of 500 cents) that cancelled the running
OpenCode turn; the `budget-exposure.ts` change fixes it and has its own
red/green test.
- Confirming live wave with both commits, same plan (2× ACPX Claude,
OpenCode, Codex; 4 K1 restarts): both Claude tasks passed R3 (one Retry
click started a run that completed the task), OpenCode passed R1
(continued by itself), and the Codex Retry completed its task. Zero
budget incidents, zero cancelled runs, zero runs left pending
accounting, company active; three killed runs recorded as `unpriced`
charges. The only open signature is an unrelated workspace-durability
check (`R2:pre_fault_files_lost` on the Codex long-bench task).

## Risks

- Behavior change: a stopped native run's lost receipt now becomes an
`unpriced` ledger charge with its known usage. If that usage has tokens,
the default `block` policy still stops new work with "recorded usage has
no reliable price". If it has none, the charge is visible in Costs but
does not stop the company. Other unpriced charges keep their existing
effect. Unknown spend is never recorded as a priced receipt. Budget
enforcement stays best effort, as the spec says; killed OpenCode and
Codex requests already lose their in-flight usage.
- Remote runs and runs without a verified local stop keep their debt
pending (an admission hold only, no hard stop).
- Contract change: pending accounting no longer pauses a scope or stops
running work. New work still waits with "completed runs await
accounting". A scope's real hard stop (spend at the limit, or blocked
unpriced usage) is unchanged.
- If a provider stop can never be verified, the run stays "recovering
accounting": new work waits without a hard-stop incident. Before, the
same state paused the company. The hold is visible in admission errors
and Costs.
- A receipt that arrives after settlement posts a late correction. The
original unpriced charge stays in the ledger.
- No schema or migration change.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 1391f64551 Add gated release/resume methods to plugin Runner owners (#19584)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Core owns Runner tasks through a lease-bound plugin owner.
> - The SDK already defines release and resume in #19468.
> - The owner still expects an accepted result for both operations, so
it cannot use those SDK results.
> - This pull request adds both methods behind the existing capability,
warm-task and account checks.
> - It uses the SDK parser to verify the result and task ID, and
preserves the owner's cancellation checks.
> - This prepares the owner boundary for later lifecycle integration. It
does not start automatic release or resume.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

The plugin Runner owner cannot forward the existing SDK release/resume
pair. Its local result mapping rejects their valid results. Later
lifecycle code needs both operations on the same checked task owner.

**Proposed solution**

Pass the existing description capability to the owner. Add explicit
release and resume methods and use the SDK's operation-result parser.
Require warm-task support and a selected account. Reject calls and late
receipts after owner cancellation or detachment.

**Alternatives considered**

Adding automatic release here would also require connection quieting,
settled-event drain, pending-ticket retry ownership and safe disposal.
Keep those changes together in the next integration. Do not add a new
flag, schema, timer or lifecycle mode here.

Related: #19468. I checked ROADMAP.md and found no duplicate planned
item. An open-PR title search for release/resume found no overlapping
pull request.

## What Changed

- Add the capability-gated owner facade for Codex and ACPX. Resume
returns only `resumed` or `unavailable`.
- Use the SDK parser for exact task-ID and operation-result validation.
- Pass `releaseResumeVersion` from the checked description and test that
it does not cause an automatic operation.
- Cover account-preserving owner rebind, missing prerequisites,
malformed results, ambiguous errors, cancellation and late replies.
- Document the caller's remaining settlement, connection, ticket and
attachment duties.

## Verification

Passed locally on Node 26.12.0 with the pinned workspace dependencies:

- In `server/`: `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/plugin-runner-task.test.ts` — 74 tests
passed.
- In `server/`: `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t 'uses a
task-only'` — 3 cases passed; 1,160 unrelated cases were not selected.
- Built the real workspace SDK dependencies and Runner TypeScript. A
focused strict TypeScript program for the owner and its tests passed.
- `git diff --check` and the added-line secret/PII scan passed.

The first root test command selected a nonexistent Vitest project name
and ran no tests. Running the test from the server package fixed the
command. The first focused TypeScript setup could not find Node types;
pointing it to the package's installed type definitions fixed that
setup. The full regression suite and release checks run in GitHub.

## Risks

The facade has no automatic caller. Existing warm timeout, bootstrap,
outbound connection and pool behavior stay in place. No plugin
capability is advertised or task control channel enabled by this pull
request.

Future integration must serialize release with new work and disposal. It
must quiet the owned connection, keep the exact pending ticket after an
ambiguous reply, authenticate the source again and finish ordinary run
attachment before new work. This change does not qualify provider
parking, cold recovery, retention policy or deployment.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol, exact model ID `gpt-6.1-sol`, High reasoning. Used
code execution and targeted tests. The context-window size was not
exposed.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c6eecac1e0 fix(heartbeat): keep a shutdown-suspended native recovery for the next boot (#19530)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Runner Full-Stack E2E workflow tests the Runner in Daytona
sandboxes from a signed, content-addressed image
> - Every change to an audited Runner input needs a new image before a
Daytona cell can test it
> - The image job took 10 to 16.5 minutes today, and a restart chaos
campaign waits on it after each runner-side fix
> - Measurement shows two serial waits: a full Rust dependency compile
(about 5 of 6.6 minutes) and a 3.5 to 4 minute download of cached base
layers that starts only after the builder stages finish
> - There is also no way to build only the image: every dispatch reaches
a paid gate that the operator must reject
> - This pull request removes both serial waits and adds an `image_only`
dispatch input
> - The benefit is a shorter fix-to-Daytona-test loop, with every image
security check unchanged

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The `Publish verified Daytona image` job is on the critical path of the
control-plane restart chaos campaign. Builds today took 16.5 min (run
42240434011), 15 min (42253920727), 10.5 min (42259118276) and 16 min
(42265637650). Run 42264611573 failed: its RunsOn runner lost
communication with GitHub 7.6 minutes into the build step, during the
Rust compile. GitHub has no log for that job.

**Expected behavior**

A Runner source change should not recompile the locked third-party Rust
graph. Cached image layers should download while the builder stages
compile. An operator should be able to publish only the image, without a
paid gate.

**Steps to reproduce**

Read the BuildKit timeline in the logs of job 127970125495 (run
42240434011). See the stage table below.

## What Changed

- `docker/daytona-runner/Dockerfile`: compile the locked Rust dependency
graph in its own layer against placeholder targets. The layer depends
only on `Cargo.toml`, `Cargo.lock` and the crate manifest. The step
deletes the placeholder outputs and fingerprints, so the next step
always compiles the real Runner sources. The final stage still receives
only the stripped executable.
- `docker/daytona-runner/Dockerfile`: move the content-ID /
source-revision check above the two `COPY --from` steps. It does not
depend on either builder stage, so BuildKit now downloads the cached
base and CLI layers in parallel with the compile. Both copies use `COPY
--link`.
- `.github/workflows/runner-full-stack-e2e.yml`: add the boolean
`image_only` dispatch input. `authorize`, `target_lock`, `catalog` and
`daytona_image` run unchanged. Every other campaign job gets `&&
inputs.image_only != true`. `authorize` rejects `image_only` together
with TestOps inputs.
- `tests/runner-e2e/workflow-image-only.test.ts` (new): pin the job
classification, the top-level guard on each campaign job, the guard on
every protected environment, and the TestOps rejection.
- `tests/runner-e2e/README.md`: document the layer layout and the
`image_only` command.

## Verification

Measured on the same RunsOn `m7i-flex.xlarge` (4 vCPU, 16 GiB, native
x64) runner class. "Before" is master job 127970125495 (run
42240434011). "After (cold)" is this branch, job 128077687214 (run
42271236140), with no dependency layer in the registry cache yet. Its
paid gate was rejected.

| Stage | Before | After (cold dependency cache) |
|---|---|---|
| Whole image job | 16.5 min | **11.6 min** |
| Rust dependency graph | 311 s (inside one 399 s step) | 395 s (own
layer; reused from cache after a master build) |
| `paperclip-runner-core` compile | ~87 s | 65 s |
| Cached base and CLI layer download | 236 s, **after** cargo finished |
257 s, **in parallel** with cargo |
| Copy runnerd + provider pack | 20 s + 50 s | 9 s (`--link`) |
| Provider pack stage | 143 s (parallel) | 152 s (parallel) |
| Export + push | 82 s + 10 s | 81 s + 11 s |
| Dependency layer size | n/a | `target` 852 MB + registry 333 MB
(builder stage only) |

With a warm dependency cache, a Runner source change compiles only the
65 s crate step. The critical path then becomes the ~4 min cached-layer
download or the provider pack. The expected job time is about 7 to 8
min. I measure this after merge with an `image_only` dispatch (master
first, to write the cache, then a Rust-only branch change).

Disk: the instance starts with 38.76 GiB free. The dependency layer adds
about 1.2 GB uncompressed to builder storage. The final image does not
change.


- `vitest run tests/runner-e2e/workflow-image-only.test.ts
tests/runner-e2e/workflow-security.test.ts
tests/runner-e2e/daytona-image.test.ts`: the new test and all image
tests pass. Three tests in `workflow-security.test.ts` (`gates every
provider-secret job with stable actor IDs`, `keeps provider credentials
inside explicitly gated paid workflows`, `isolates private archive trust
from workflows that execute target-branch code`) fail on `origin/master`
without this change, because of `chat-catalog-testops-case.yml`. This
pull request does not change them.
- `node --test tests/runner-e2e/product-regression-testops.test.mjs`:
15/15 pass.
- No local Docker build. The Dockerfile is measured with a
branch-targeted CI dispatch whose paid gate was rejected.

## Risks

- The dependency layer keeps the Rust `target` and registry trees in a
builder-stage layer, and default-branch builds export it to the registry
cache. This adds builder disk and cache upload when `Cargo.lock`
changes. The build prints the size (`du -sk target
/usr/local/cargo/registry`).
- The dependency cache helps only after a default-branch build writes
it. Branch builds read it but never write it. This is the existing cache
policy.
- `image_only` changes the workflow, so it works only after merge to
master.
- No check is removed. Lockfile verification, cosign sign and verify,
the anonymous pull check, the provider-pack manifest match, the
default-branch-only cache write and the actor allowlist are unchanged.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, through Claude Code
with tool use (shell, GitHub CLI). Extended reasoning on.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip fd4b197f83 fix(ui): hide runner selection during agent setup (#19517)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents for work.
> - Agent setup connects a harness, model, account, and computer.
> - The system already selects a qualified runner for a new agent.
> - Setup still asks users to select that internal runner.
> - The runner dropdown can be the only field in Advanced.
> - This PR removes the dropdown and hides an empty Advanced section.
> - Users keep their saved execution settings and see fewer setup controls.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Agent creation, onboarding, built-in agent setup, company import, and agent configuration.

**Subsystem affected**

The UI, setup error messages, tests, and Storybook fixtures.

**Current behavior**

Users can select a runner from a dropdown. Some setup screens place only that dropdown in Advanced. Errors can direct users to that control.

**Proposed behavior**

Remove runner dropdowns from setup and configuration. Use the existing automatic selection for new agents. Retain saved runner settings. Show Advanced only when other fields remain.

**Reason and benefit**

Users can configure agents without an extra internal execution choice. Setup also avoids an empty Advanced section.

**Breaking changes**

Users can no longer select a runner through these UI dropdowns. The API and CLI retain their runner options. Existing agents keep their saved execution settings.

**Additional context**

Related: [Default new agents to the qualified runner for their harness](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/15422). This PR changes the existing setup UI. It adds no harness or runtime default. The master merge retains the custom gateway placement from [#19510](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19510).

## What Changed

- Remove the shared runner dropdown and its setup/configuration callers.
- Hide Advanced when it has no remaining fields. Keep command and argument settings where supported. Preserve custom gateway setup under Advanced on the Claude and OpenAI API key paths.
- Keep setup failures visible and keep the retry action outside the removed control.
- Update errors and documentation that referred to the removed dropdown.
- Update component tests and Storybook fixtures for the new UI states.
- Make Legacy first-task evals resume an API-configured setup record. Record that path separately from fresh automatic onboarding.

## Verification

- Latest master integration (`187c0f6d6e5`): 276 onboarding/provider-connection tests passed across six files. UI typecheck and build passed. Token gates, query-error rendering checks, and the Storybook catalog check passed. The conflict resolution retains master's bounded connection tests and cancellation while removing the obsolete runner instruction. The first test command used the wrong working directory and failed before collecting tests; the corrected invocation from `ui/` passed.
- Earlier branch verification passed: full workspace build and typecheck, 1,037 focused UI/service tests, 49 heartbeat provider contract tests, eval typecheck, and 30 map/catalog tests.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` run passed all six chat integration shards (1,931 tests). It was stopped for the master merge before the complete suite finished. The [complete CI run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42264662642) passed on the previous head `72e1699`.
- Current head `a097c8369d079c839e78661a2206cfa62c5210e0`: [full CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42273168268) passed. PR checks total 55 passed and 3 skipped, with none failed or pending. Greptile reviewed this head at 5/5 with no actionable findings or unresolved review threads.
- Live browser/provider evals have not run. The Legacy eval change has no live qualification claim.

## Risks

- Removing the dropdown changes the setup UI. Existing API and CLI runner choices remain available.
- Conditional Advanced sections must retain valid command and argument fields.
- Legacy first-task evals now prove setup resumption. They do not prove the fresh-agent automatic default.
- No schema change or data migration is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, through Codex in T3 Code. Reasoning effort: `xhigh`. The model used file editing, shell commands, and test tools. The harness does not expose the context window size.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 07ddf9a5c2 fix(native): keep accepted results when runner close cannot prove suspension (#19525)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs persist an accepted result first. The Runner then closes
and suspends its session.
> - Under heavy host load, the Runner close can fail to prove a durable
suspension after the result is accepted.
> - The executor then kept its finalization lease. The heartbeat
finalizer got `native_finalization_lease_busy`, and the run ended
`failed/adapter_failed`.
> - The provider work was complete. Only Runner bookkeeping failed, so
the run must not fail.
> - This pull request hands the exact lease to finalization and
completes the run from its accepted result.
> - The benefit is that an accepted result stays accepted, independent
of host load.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native ACPX Claude run asked a structured question. The control plane
accepted its result (`Waiting for…`) and recorded `run.terminal` with
`runTerminalState=succeeded`. The Runner close then took about 8.6 s.
Its `runner.suspend` command ended `failed`, but the durable Runner
state was `suspended` with a matching identity. The close threw
`NativeSessionCloseUnrecoverableError`. The executor emitted
`native.post_result_failure` (`category: runner_settlement_incomplete`,
`resultAlreadyAccepted: true`) and rethrew `native_session_lease_lost`.
Its finalization lease stayed held (its TTL is 20 minutes).
`finalizeNativeRun` got `native_finalization_lease_busy`, and the run
ended `failed/adapter_failed`. No restart was in progress. Host load
average was about 40.

**Expected behavior**

After the control plane accepts a result, finalization bookkeeping must
not fail the run. The run settles from its accepted result. Repair of
the Runner checkpoint stays with the existing next-run admission rules.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/heartbeat/runtime-execution.test.ts -t "accepted local
result"` in `server/`. The test uses the real executor, the real
control-plane result commit, and embedded PostgreSQL. The provider
boundary accepts a result and then throws
`NativeSessionCloseUnrecoverableError`. On the base revision, the
finalization row keeps the executor lease (`phase:
workspace_finalizing`) and the finalizer reports `lease_busy`.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base `ff1d1dea5d`. The incident was on `819420a60a`.

## What Changed

- `native-session-executor.ts`: after the rejected failure write proves
an accepted result under the exact, unexpired lease, the executor
releases that lease to finalization. It uses the same exact-authority
predicates as the normal release. Before, the lease stayed held until
its TTL expired.
- `runtime-execution.ts`: for `runner_settlement_incomplete` on a local
workspace (no workspace sync and no remote workspace authority),
Paperclip records `workspace_finalize` as succeeded, finalizes the
accepted result, and returns it to the ordinary completion path.
- New `native-accepted-result-settlement.ts`: rebuilds the adapter
result from the durable accepted result row, its terminal, the run's
native session, and the accepted usage checkpoint. The result carries
the closed `nativePostResultFailure` diagnostic. It contains no provider
text.
- Other post-result categories (for example `io_not_found`) keep their
workspace-failure handling. They now also reach finalization at once,
instead of after the lease TTL.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describes the settlement.

## Verification

- Red, then green: `settles an accepted local result when runner close
cannot prove suspension` and `keeps workspace failure handling for other
accepted-result failures on a local workspace` in
`server/src/services/heartbeat/runtime-execution.test.ts`. Both failed
on the base revision with the executor lease still held. Both pass with
this change.
- Safety case `settles an accepted local result ...
(workspace-check-failed)`: when the `workspace_finalize` check fails,
the run keeps the existing failure path. Case `terminal-unreadable`:
when the accepted result cannot be rebuilt, only a failed
`workspace_finalize` record is written.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/heartbeat/runtime-execution.test.ts`: all pass (some cases
time out at 30 s only under host load above 40; they pass on a narrow
rerun). This includes the 14 existing post-result diagnostic and
authority cases (expired, replaced owner, generation, attempt, boot,
pid, process start, stopped, lock busy, and others).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`: pass.
- Live cell
`local-session-integrity.runner-acpx-claude.local.structured-question-restart-resume`
(real ACPX Claude, local runner): 3 runs at host load average about 40.
Runs 1 and 2 passed. Run 3 hit the fault naturally: the first run
emitted `native.post_result_failure` (`runner_settlement_incomplete`)
and now ended `run succeeded` (before this change it ended
`failed/adapter_failed`). The cell then failed later, in the resume run
after the answer: `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate;
retirement_refused=target_not_sandbox_runner`. That is a separate
follow-up (see Risks).

## Risks

- A changed lease handoff. The executor releases the lease only after
the rejected failure write proves an accepted result under the exact
owner, attempt, controller generation, controller identity, and an
unexpired lease. A stale or replaced owner does not release anything. A
failed release is bounded and best effort. The old behavior then
applies.
- The run now completes as `succeeded` while the local Runner checkpoint
is not proven suspended. The next run on the same session then meets the
existing fence: the continuity-break retirement
(`retireFinishedPerTurnRunnerdOwner`) accepts only sandbox Runners, so a
local Runner is refused with `target_not_sandbox_runner` and its state
root is quarantined. This PR does not change that fence. Extending the
retirement to local Runners needs its own proof that the local Runner
process stopped, and is a follow-up.
- Settlement happens only when the accepted result and its terminal are
rebuilt first, and the `workspace_finalize` record then succeeds. A
failed branch or plugin workspace check keeps the failure path.
- Synced and remote workspaces are not changed. They keep their
copy-back retry path.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, used through Claude
Code with tool use (shell, file edits, test runs). Extended reasoning
was on.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 beaa9a622d fix(native): re-bootstrap a runner killed before session.open (#19524)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs start a local `paperclip-runnerd` process. The control
plane keeps a durable state root for each session.
> - When the control plane restarts, restart recovery classifies each
live native run. A run whose runner died before any provider identity
existed gets the `bootstrap_incomplete` disposition. Recovery then
quarantines the old state root and starts the bootstrap again.
> - The executor accepts that disposition only when the durable state
root proves that no provider work started. The old proof required
`connectionCount === 0` and every command `pending`.
> - A restart chaos wave killed the server about 2 s after runnerd
started. The runner had connected and completed `run.prepare`, but
`session.open` was still pending. No event was committed, so no provider
session or turn existed.
> - The proof rejected that root. The run failed with
`runner_state_identity_mismatch: bootstrap_not_proven_incomplete`, and
the task stopped with `native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`.
Nothing continued automatically.
> - This pull request widens the proof to the exact window where
provider work cannot have started, and keeps every other shape
fail-closed.
> - The benefit is that a restart during native runner bootstrap
continues automatically for every native provider.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A control plane restart that lands after the native runner connected and
acknowledged `run.prepare`, but before `session.open` completed, fails
the run with `adapter_failed` and `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
bootstrap_not_proven_incomplete`. Startup recovery chose
`bootstrap_incomplete` (controller generations 2 and 3), but the
executor proof in `migrateRunnerdStateRootForExecution` refused it. The
durable control-plane state had `connectionCount: 1`, `run.prepare`
completed, `session.open` pending, no committed events, and
`ackedSourceSeq: 0`. The runner journal had `nextSourceSeq: 1`, an empty
outbox, and the provider state was `prepared` with no provider session
ID.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native task (seen with OpenCode on a local runner; the window
applies to every native provider).
2. Kill the control plane about 2 s after runnerd starts, after
`run.prepare` completes and before `session.open` completes.
3. Let the control plane restart.

**Expected behavior**
Recovery quarantines the state root and starts the bootstrap again. The
task continues without a user action.

**Actual behavior**
The run fails and the task is blocked with
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`.

## What Changed

- `runnerdStateIsIncompleteBootstrap` (native-session-executor.ts) now
also accepts a connected root when all of these are true: no committed
event, `ackedSourceSeq === 0`, only `run.prepare` and `session.open`
commands, `session.open` not completed, `run.prepare` pending or
completed, no warm transition or staged attachment, and the bootstrap
was not adopted.
- When `runner/runner-state.json` exists, the runner journal must agree:
empty outbox, `nextSourceSeq === 1`, `ackedSourceSeq === 0`, and no
completed `session.open` or other processed command. An unreadable
runner journal stays fail-closed. This covers events that the runner
emitted but the controller never committed.
- The remote "claim an untouched session" path keeps the old
never-connected proof (`runnerdStateIsUnconnectedBootstrap`), so its
behavior does not change.
- Tests: a red test with the production state shape (connected,
`run.prepare` completed, `session.open` pending), plus fail-closed
counter-tests for a completed `session.open`, committed or acknowledged
events, a turn command, a failed `run.prepare`, an adopted bootstrap, a
warm transition, an uncommitted runner event, a runner-completed
`session.open`, a runner-processed turn, and a torn runner journal.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: `pnpm exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "native
incomplete-bootstrap evidence"` failed on "allows a fresh bootstrap
after connect and run.prepare when session.open never completed"
(`expected false to be true`). Green after the fix: 13/13.
- The proof run against the kept durable state root from the failing
wave (read only) returns `true` after the fix.
- Related suites: `native-session-executor.test.ts` and
`native-restart-recovery.test.ts` filtered to
`bootstrap|restart|remote|unstarted|untouched`: 301 passed.
- `tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` passes.
- Live restart chaos proof: see the comment on this PR.

## Risks

- The proof now accepts a root where the runner received `session.open`
but did not complete it. The runner can have started a provider process
or created an empty provider session in that window. Recovery only
proceeds when restart classification already proved that the runner
process and its group are dead and no known provider process is alive.
No provider turn can exist, because the controller never issued a turn
command. The worst case is an orphaned empty provider session, not
repeated work.
- Every state with committed or acknowledged events, a completed
`session.open`, a turn, a warm transition, an adopted bootstrap, or an
unreadable runner journal still fails closed.
- Out of scope: when the proof fails legitimately, the task offers the
existing execution-blocker Retry. In the failing wave the issue
interruption also showed a budget wait (`userAction: budget`). That is
the RC-06 accounting issue and belongs to a separate fix.

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.
> - Older saved failures still have a generic terminal code and a
recovery hold.
> - This pull request verifies the old producer outcome and uses the
existing safe replacement path.
> - Eligible tasks continue once. Unknown provider outcomes and user
holds remain blocked.

## 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.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Root cause**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

Red, then green, at each layer:

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

Suites run locally on the final revision:

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

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

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

## Risks

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

tool use, code execution, and extended reasoning.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 7840d894fa fix: retain files after accepted remote copy-back exhausts retries (#19491)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote workspaces keep unsaved files bound to the run that wrote
them.
> - An accepted result can exhaust its copy-back retries before those
files are saved.
> - Failed-workspace preservation rejects every accepted result, so a
stopped writer can keep the workspace held after a newer setup attempt
fails.
> - This pull request lets the existing owner retain files from that
exact stopped remote writer.
> - File recovery can then release the hold without applying the old
result or repeating its provider work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A failed native remote writer had an accepted result and exhausted
copy-back retries. Its sandbox was stopped with a valid retained-source
receipt. A newer attempt failed on the writer's unsaved workspace. Task
Retry could not register the missing file-recovery obligation because
preservation returned as soon as it found the old accepted result.

**Expected behavior**

Task Retry must let the existing recovery owner save the exact retained
files. The accepted result, failed attempts and current task must stay
intact. The old provider work must not run again.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Finish native work in a remote task workspace and accept its
completion result.
2. Exhaust copy-back retries, stop and retain that exact sandbox, and
leave the workspace dirty.
3. Let a newer setup attempt fail on the old writer's hold.
4. Use ordinary task Retry. Before this fix, the missing file obligation
is never recorded.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against master at `51a65af9b81f3c60f8210047e9a3eeaada7bc155`
with isolated PostgreSQL and real files.

Related: #19385 preserves accepted copy-back interrupted by Stop. #19422
admits saved input after verified recovery. #19464 and #19466 repair
preparation and Retry continuation. This change covers an older remote
writer whose accepted copy-back has exhausted its retries.

## What Changed

- Admit only terminal, exhausted accepted copy-back on a failed remote
writer with a finished run and no live controller or finalizer.
- Require the exact stop-and-retain receipt, accepted completion
contract and current dirty workspace binding. Keep native-sync sources
on their existing export path.
- Use the existing file-preservation recorder and worker. Add no new
recovery worker, schema, polling or replay path.
- Cover bound and orphaned entry points, reusable leases, changed proof
and the ordinary HTTP Retry journey. Document the recovery behavior.

## Verification

- Causal baseline: the corrected bound-writer and orphaned-lease tests
both fail without the source change and pass with it.
- Assembled acceptance: authenticated HTTP Retry records the old
writer's missing obligation; the real recovery service saves its files;
concurrent continuation calls queue exactly one successor for the newer
failed setup. PostgreSQL, filesystem, tar, Git and the API/service path
are real. Provider transport is controlled, and no model turn is
dispatched.
- `pnpm check:module-boundaries`, `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build` and
`git diff --check` pass.
- Four full affected recovery suites pass: **659 tests**. Command: `pnpm
--dir server exec vitest run --config vitest.config.ts
src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-failed-workspace-recovery.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-cancelled-workspace-preservation.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-export-retry.test.ts`. This
includes the final 16 new regression, refusal and assembled journey
cases.
- `pnpm verify --explain` completed. It selected broad transitive
coverage; this is planning evidence only. Hosted CI will supply the
remaining broad coverage.
- Dependency cost: extra indexed source/result reads run only for this
exact terminal retained-result path, inside the existing bounded
transaction. Existing notifications activate the existing recovery
owner. No idle scan is added.
- Fixture failures are accounted for: the first fixture used an
active-only stop helper on a released lease. The corrected fixture
produced the causal baseline above. One negative fixture tried to remove
a contract while an accepted result referenced it and failed the
database foreign key. That impossible fixture was removed; the positive
journey passed in the same run. Neither fixture failure is reported as a
product regression or a passing full run.
- Hosted CI is fully green at the reviewed commit: 54 successful checks
and 3 intentional skips, with no incomplete or failed checks. Greptile
is 5/5 with no unresolved threads.
- Hosted rollout and a live task continuation remain pending. Local API
admission does not prove a deployed model run.

## Risks

This expands file preservation for a narrow terminal failure. Wrong
source identity could retain unrelated files; unchanged writer, epoch,
location, provider lease, stop receipt and accepted contract checks fail
closed. Active ownership, unsafe archives, rejected results and
native-sync sources stay on their existing paths. Existing recovery owns
physical source locking, copy verification and bounded retries. It
preserves unknown action outcomes and leaves the accepted result
uncommitted. There is no migration or configuration change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, `gpt-6.1-sol`, xhigh reasoning effort. Context window size
is unavailable. Used repository tools, isolated tests and code
execution. No delegated agents.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 026dc6d135 fix(native): release a session-resume owner when the resumed run fails before its provider claim (#19371)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs keep a finalization row. Its lease owner tells the
control plane that an execution may still be live.
> - Pausing an agent waits for `agentExecutionsHaveStopped`. That check
refuses to finish while any run of the agent has a lease owner, unless
the run was cancelled and has stop proof.
> - A same-run session resume claims that lease before it dispatches the
run. If the run then fails before the native executor takes its own
provider claim, nothing releases the resume owner.
> - The leaked owner blocks pause and resume for good, and the task
keeps looking like it has a live recovery path.
> - This pull request settles those rows at the source, and it adds a
stop-proof-gated release for rows that already leaked.
> - The benefit is that agents can pause and resume after an ordinary
resume failure, without database edits, and the cancelled-run stop-proof
rule stays as it is.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An agent stayed in `pausing` with `hostComplete=false` and climbing
attempts. Its runs had `native_run_finalizations` rows with `phase:
observed`, `recovery_state: resuming_session`, a `lease_owner` like
`default:resume:<uuid>`, and no `result_id`. Each heartbeat run had
ended `failed`: either `setup_failed` (`Failed to acquire lease for
environment … Sandbox creation has failed`,
`native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch`) or `adapter_failed`
(`runner_state_identity_mismatch: …`). The lease expired about 20
minutes after the run finished. Nothing settled the row. The only fix
was to set `lease_owner` to null by hand.

**Expected behavior**

When a resumed run fails before any provider turn starts, its
finalization row goes to `terminal_failure` and its lease owner is
released, as the native executor does for failures it sees. A row that
leaked before this fix is released in the background once its lease
expires and the run has stop proof. Pause then completes.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Leave a native run in `retryable_failure` with a persisted
checkpoint, on a task that already has an active recovery incident.
2. Let session resume claim it (`claimNativeSessionResumptions` sets
`phase: observed` and a `…:resume:…` owner).
3. Make the resumed run fail before the executor claims it, for example
when the environment driver cannot create the sandbox.
4. The heartbeat failure path marks the run `failed`. The issue release
path does not settle the row, because it settles only when it opens a
new incident. The owner stays set, and `agentExecutionsHaveStopped`
returns false indefinitely.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at 5ac05871b5.

**Additional context**

Root cause: two writers can end a resumed run without the executor.
`failRun` and the setup-failure path in `heartbeat/run-completion.ts`
never touch the coordinator. `recordNativeTerminalRecoveryIfNeeded` in
the wake-queue adapter settles the coordinator only when no recovery
incident exists yet. Agents that need their computer connection paired
again usually already have an incident, so the owner leaks.

Related, but different: #18905, #18866, #18072, and #17692 change how
the stop check judges runs. This pull request does not change the stop
check.

## What Changed

-
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-failed-run-owner-release.ts`
(new): one settlement for a result-less `observed` owner on a run that
ended `failed`, `timed_out`, or `interrupted`. It writes
`terminal_failure`, null lease fields, `recoveryState: "blocked"`, the
run's failure code, and a `releasedOwner` record. It sets `nativePhase`,
sends the same finalization and execution work notifications as the
executor's terminal path, and logs `native.failed_run_owner_released`
activity. Locks follow the issue, coordinator, run order.
- `settleUnstartedNativeSessionResume`: runs after a dispatched session
resume returns. It matches only the exact claim owner and the attempt
the claim saw. The executor increments the attempt when it takes
provider ownership, so an unchanged attempt proves that no provider turn
started under this owner. The executor's own failures no longer match.
- `releaseAbandonedNativeOwners`: the background release for rows that
already leaked. It requires an expired lease and all of the stop proof
that `agentExecutionsHaveStopped` checks: settled environment leases, no
live run process or process group, no live controller lease, and no live
controller process. This process answers from its in-memory execution
registries. It skips cancelled runs, pending native Stops, and pinned
workspace restores, because those have their own stop-proof owners.
- `native-finalization-reconciler.ts`: `NativeSessionResumeClaim` now
carries `attempt`.
- `heartbeat.ts` and `heartbeat/recovery.ts`: both session-resume
dispatch sites settle the claim after `executeRun` returns. This is one
`.finally` per site.
- `execution-control-reconciliation.ts` and `execution-control-work.ts`:
the execution-finalization queue runs the background release. Its
deadline includes the earliest lease expiry among eligible rows, so the
release does not poll an idle instance. Rows with unreleased sandboxes
are excluded from the deadline.
- `agent-execution-stop.ts` is unchanged. The cancelled-only release
keeps its stop-proof rule.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-native-resume-lease-failure.test.ts` drives the
real heartbeat resume dispatch (`reapOrphanedRuns`). A sandbox driver's
`acquireRunLease` throws `Sandbox creation has failed`, and the task has
a recovery incident. The run fails with `Failed to acquire lease for
environment "Managed computer" (sandbox): Sandbox creation has failed`,
and the coordinator ends `terminal_failure` with no lease owner. I
removed the `.finally` wiring and ran the test again. It then failed,
and the row stayed `observed` with a `default:resume:` owner and a
20-minute expiry, which is the production state.
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-failed-run-owner-release.test.ts` (10
tests):
- A claimed resume that fails at lease acquisition is settled.
`agentExecutionsHaveStopped` changes from false to true. A repeated
settlement does nothing.
- An owner the executor claimed (incremented attempt) and a run that is
still running are not changed.
- A leaked `runner_state_identity_mismatch` row is released by
`reconcileAbandonedExecutionControl`, and then
`agentExecutionsHaveStopped` returns true.
- An unexpired owner still blocks the stop check. Its expiry becomes the
finalization queue deadline.
- An active environment lease and a live controller process block
release. After both stop, the row is released.
  - Cancelled runs and pending native Stops are not changed.
  - Added during review:
    - Releasing an owner wakes the cost-accounting worker.
- Releasing a run's environment lease wakes the finalization worker, and
the owner is then released.
- A recorded PID and group that now belong to an unrelated process do
not hold the owner.
- Bounded passes rotate past a held row (`[0, 1, 1]` with page size 1),
then wrap back to it.
- The immediate settle keeps the owner while the run's recorded process
is alive.
- Suites that cover the changed files pass together: the two new files,
`native-session-resumption.test.ts` (with the claim shape updated),
`execution-control-reconciliation.test.ts`,
`execution-control-work.test.ts`, and
`agent-lifecycle/__tests__/lifecycle.test.ts`. With
`environment-cleanup-work.test.ts` added, that is 7 files and 156 tests.
I did not run the full `heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` suite
locally. CI runs it.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.

## Risks

- Behaviour change: a resumed run that fails during setup now ends with
a terminal coordinator in every case. Before, this happened only when
the issue release path opened a new incident. After a restart, restart
recovery no longer sees such a row as `observed`. This matches what the
release path already does when no incident exists.
- The background release trusts an expired lease on a run that is
already terminal, together with the same process and lease evidence that
the stop check uses. A controller on another host cannot be probed by
PID. The stop check has the same limit today. A live owner still renews
its lease, and lease-gated writes from an expired owner are already
refused.
- If an expired row's process or controller still looks live, the
release retries at the shared 15-second finalization cadence until that
process exits. Each pass handles one bounded page, and a rotating cursor
moves to the next page on each pass.
- A run-scoped environment cleanup notification now also wakes the
execution-finalization queue. Passes are coalesced, and a pass is a
cheap deadline query when nothing is eligible.
- No schema change and no migration.

DottaandPaperclip 06c0566a08 fix: make task Retry work after a refused automatic attempt (#19466)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task Retry stores a durable request before it starts a new run.
> - An automatic attempt can stop at the execution gate before a
provider starts.
> - That cancelled attempt becomes the source of the next Retry click.
> - Admission rejected that source, or chose an older run that did not
match the stored Retry authority.
> - This pull request verifies the refused attempt and keeps it as the
exact authority source.
> - The user can start one new turn after the older execution holds pass
their existing checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Retry can remain deferred when the latest run was cancelled with
`execution_reconciliation_required` before dispatch. An older failed
preparation has an execution recovery hold. The Retry receipt names the
cancelled child, but admission only accepts a failed preparation as an
extra source. It can also choose the older run as `previousRunId`, which
fails the exact source check at dispatch.

**Expected behavior**

Retry starts one new turn when the latest attempt has a verified
pre-dispatch refusal and every older execution hold is ready. Provider
activity, retained execution resources, missing receipts, or a live
earlier process keep the hold.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Seed a failed native preparation and its recovery hold.
2. Let a later automatic attempt be cancelled by the stale queued
execution gate before dispatch.
3. Click Retry against that latest cancelled attempt.
4. Before this change, continuation admission returns no receipt. After
this change, one successor starts with authority bound to the clicked
attempt.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `2f35eb1080`. Rebased onto `6cafcaf89b` for submission.

**Deployment mode**

Local source checkout with embedded PostgreSQL and the native Runner on
macOS arm64.

Refs #15383 and #16939. Those changes cover legacy conversation
cancellation and queue promotion. This change covers the exact source of
a task Retry receipt after a gate refused its automatic child.

## What Changed

- Reuse the existing database-backed pre-dispatch refusal proof when
admitting the exact Retry source.
- Keep the clicked source as `previousRunId`. Continue to check every
older execution hold.
- Add database regressions for safe refusal, unsafe evidence, concurrent
dispatch, and duplicate clicks.
- Add an opt-in acceptance test that drives the authenticated Retry
route through a real Codex turn and task finalization.
- Document the admission contract.

## Verification

- TDD: the new database regression returned `null` on the original code.
It passes with the repair.
- Final head `c43a84b1bf`: 487 tests pass across task Retry, explicit
native continuation, and execution continuation. Server TypeScript and
module boundary checks pass.
- Live acceptance: `PAPERCLIP_LIVE_REFUSED_RETRY=true
PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_BINARY=<current-source-runnerd> pnpm --dir server exec
vitest run --config vitest.config.ts
src/services/native-runtime/refused-task-retry.live.test.ts`.
- The real HTTP request returned 202 on the final rebased head
`c43a84b1bf`. Codex `gpt-6.1-sol` with high effort produced the
requested file. The task became done, both task locks cleared, and
finalization committed. A repeated click reused the same receipt and did
not create another run. The source file stayed unchanged.
- Server TypeScript check and module boundary check.
- `pnpm verify --explain` returned 2 because the execution contract doc
requires broad CI coverage. The required CI checks supply that coverage.

## Risks

This changes execution admission. The existing proof requires the stored
refusal receipt and no provider work or retained execution resources.
Earlier recovery holds, process stop checks, decisions, actor authority,
and task ownership still apply. No schema change or migration.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The host does not expose an exact author model ID or context
window. The live acceptance provider was `gpt-6.1-sol` with high
reasoning effort.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e680fa6814 fix(native): retry startup interrupted by a closed runtime API listener (#19462)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs prepare a remote workspace, then start a runner and a
provider session
> - A graceful server shutdown closes the HTTP listener before it drains
runs
> - A run that is still preparing then asks for the local runtime API
origin, and the lookup fails with
`local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable`
> - Recovery did not know this code. It treated the failure as an
ambiguous provider state and blocked the task behind a board-owned
action, although no runner or provider process existed
> - This pull request classifies the closed listener as a definite
pre-session failure
> - The benefit is that a deploy no longer strands a preparing task. The
same run gets a bounded bootstrap retry that the next server process
claims

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened**
A native Codex task on a remote sandbox spent about ten minutes in
workspace preparation. A deploy started a graceful shutdown during that
time. When preparation finished, the executor called
`resolveLocalRuntimeApiUrl()` to build the tool authority. The listener
was already closed, so it threw
`local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable`. No runner backend or provider
session had started. The failure classifier returned the generic
`native_session_interrupted` code. `nativeProviderRecoveryEvidence` then
returned `ambiguous_state`. The run became a terminal failure, the task
became blocked, and the recovery action told the board to resolve an
ambiguous session and to not open a replacement session. The same
signature occurred on three other runs during an earlier deploy.

**Expected behavior**
A failure that occurs before any runner or provider process exists is
safe to retry on the same run. The task must stay in progress with a
scheduled, bounded bootstrap retry. If a provider event or checkpoint
exists, recovery must stay operator-owned.

**Steps to reproduce**
Start a native run. Close the server's HTTP listener before the executor
creates the runner backend. Observe a `terminal_failure` with
`recoveryMode: "ambiguous_state"` and a blocked task. The new
integration test reproduces this with the real
`resolveLocalRuntimeApiUrl()` and a real Postgres database.

**Environment**
Server native runtime, remote sandbox target, `codex_app_server` driver.
Related recovery work: #19249, #19304, #19305.

## What Changed

- `nativeSessionFailureSourceCode` returns a new
`local_runtime_api_listener_unavailable` source code for this error.
- `nativeProviderRecoveryEvidence` treats that code as definitely
pre-session. The existing guard stays: the run must have no checkpoint
and no durable provider event.
- The chat failed-run retry accepts the code in its list of ordinary
pre-session failures, so an exhausted startup retry can still be retried
from chat.
- New integration tests in `native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts`
cover the retry path and the operator-owned path when a provider event
exists.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: the new test failed with `phase:
"terminal_failure"`, `recoveryMode: "ambiguous_state"`, `recoverable:
false` and a board-owned recovery. This matches the failed run on the
deployed instance.
- Green after the fix: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts`
passes 26 of 26 tests. The retry test asserts `retryable_failure`,
`bootstrap_retry`, backoff timing, an agent-owned `resume_native_run`
wake, and a claim through `claimNativeSessionResumptions`.
- Safety case: when a durable `turn.started` event exists, the same
error stays `terminal_failure` with `ambiguous_state` and a blocked
task.
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t
"listener|classif|pre-session"` passes.
- Not run: a live deploy that interrupts a preparing sandbox run. The
test uses the real listener lookup and the real recovery tables, but not
a real sandbox.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change only affects runs that fail with this exact error
and have no checkpoint and no provider event.
- The retry uses the existing bootstrap budget of three attempts with
backoff. Repeated failures still stop and hand the task to the board.
- The GitHub callback bridge that started in the sandbox before the
failure is a per-attempt helper. The existing cleanup path releases it.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 11bc490cda fix(recovery): keep a stopped copy-back's files instead of holding the workspace (#19385)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native run can have its result accepted before the copy-back of
its sandbox files finishes. If the copy-back fails, it retries.
> - A board Stop during those retries ends the run. It sets the run's
finalization to `terminal_failure` / `native_retry_cancelled`, and the
result stays accepted.
> - After that, nothing exports the files. The finalization worker skips
terminal rows, and cancelled-workspace preservation skipped any run with
an accepted result.
> - The task workspace stays dirty and bound to the stopped run. Every
later run on the task waits for the workspace, then fails setup with the
unfinished-writer error.
> - This pull request lets cancelled-workspace preservation also admit
an accepted result whose copy-back a Stop ended.
> - The benefit is that stopping a stuck copy-back saves its files and
frees the task, like stopping any other run.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16700, #17677, #18820, #19304 and #19305 (cancelled-workspace
preservation). This pull request adds the accepted-result case to that
path and keeps its other checks unchanged.

**What happened?**

On a hosted instance, a native run's result was accepted, but its
copy-back kept failing and retrying. A board operator pressed Stop to
unblock the task. The run became `cancelled`, its sandbox was stopped
and kept, and its finalization moved to `terminal_failure` /
`native_retry_cancelled` with the result still accepted.

The next run on the task was cancelled with "Shared execution workspace
is busy: run … ended, but its workspace save has not settled". About 24
automatic retries followed over an hour. The last one failed with "The
workspace still has an unfinished writer or save operation." After that
nothing ran: the task stayed `in_progress` with no run and no recovery
action. A Retry or a new comment would hit the same block.

The workspace stayed `dirty: true` with the stopped run as its writer,
and no `workspaceRestoreRecovery` was ever recorded. The reason:
`preserveCancelledNativeWorkspaces` requires `resultId IS NULL`, and
`registerCancelledWorkspacePreservationWork` and
`preserveNativeFailedWorkspace` both return early when `resultId` is
set.

**Expected behavior**

Stopping a run during its copy-back retries keeps its files, as stopping
any other run does. Paperclip's workspace recovery saves them and
releases the workspace. Nothing commits or replays the stopped result.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Accept a native result for a run whose copy-back is in
`retryable_failure`.
2. Stop the run with the board Stop. The finalization becomes
`terminal_failure` / `native_retry_cancelled`.
3. Start another run on the task. It waits for the workspace and then
fails setup. No save of the stopped run's files is ever recorded.

The new database tests run steps 1 and 2 against PostgreSQL and check
that the save is recorded.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `9ceaec6f97e`.

**Deployment mode**

Any deployment that uses remote (sandbox) task workspaces. Seen on a
cloud-managed instance.

## What Changed

-
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-failed-workspace-recovery.ts`:
cancelled-workspace preservation now also admits an accepted result when
the finalization is `terminal_failure` with `native_retry_cancelled`.
That is the state a Stop leaves after ending copy-back retries. All
three entry points use the same rule:
  - the startup scan `preserveCancelledNativeWorkspaces`;
  - the worker `registerCancelledWorkspacePreservationWork`;
- `preserveNativeFailedWorkspace`, only when it is called with
`requireCancelledStop`.

Preservation still requires everything it required before: a cancelled
run, an acknowledged Stop, no live finalization owner or controller
lease, a prepared workspace reference, and the exact retained source.
- An accepted result with any other failure code is still skipped; those
runs keep their own export repair path. Failed (not cancelled) runs are
unchanged.
- The accepted result stays recorded and uncommitted. Preservation does
not change the task's status or queue a run.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describe the stopped copy-back case in
the paragraph on writers stopped mid-run.
- `native-cancelled-workspace-preservation.test.ts`: move the
accepted-result fixture into an `acceptResult` helper, and add a test
with three cases.

## Verification

- Failing first. The new test "preserves files of an accepted result
whose copy-back was stopped" has three cases: worker, startup scan, and
a sandbox that the Stop already stopped and kept, through the real
`prepareSandboxStopAndRetain` and `settleStopOnlyCleanup`. All three
fail on `master`, with no `workspaceRestoreFailure` recorded, and pass
with this change.
- Each case checks that:
- the save obligation and recovery action are recorded for the exact
lease;
  - `inspectWorkspaceRecoverySource` finds one source;
- the finalization keeps its `resultId`, `terminal_failure` and
`native_retry_cancelled`;
- the workspace stays held by the stopped writer until the save
publishes;
  - no run or wake is created, and the task status is unchanged.
- The existing "does not admit preservation for accepted-result" case
still passes. It uses an accepted result with a different failure code.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-cancelled-workspace-preservation.test.ts`:
44 passed.
- Related suites, 10 files and 854 passed:
- `native-failed-workspace-recovery`, `workspace-recovery`,
`heartbeat/run-control`
  - `native-cancellation-request` (unit and integration)
- `heartbeat-remote-workspace-busy`, `native-workspace-export-retry`,
`native-workspace-reconstruction`
  - `native-stop-accounting`, `task-workspace-binding`
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json`: pass.
- Not run end to end on a live instance. Diagnosed from that instance's
run, finalization, lease, workspace and recovery-action rows.

## Risks

- On deploy, the startup scan and the worker will pick up existing
cancelled runs in this state and record their saves. That is the
intended repair, and it uses the same retention checks as other stopped
writers.
- A copy-back interrupted by a server restart can leave a
`remote_workspace_snapshot` operation marked `running` after its process
is gone. This change does not settle such rows. If one blocks the later
save, the save follows its existing retry and board hand-off.
- No schema migration.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) through Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, file edits, test runs, read-only database queries). The runtime
does not expose the context window or reasoning configuration.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs paperclipai/paperclip#19273

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 240d46e2ec fix(native-runtime): join the deferred observer seen when a duplicate append arrives (#19397)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runtime writes runner events through
`PaperclipControlPlanePort.appendEvent`.
> - A terminal event can defer its post-commit observer. A duplicate
append of the same event must join that observer. It must not run
`onDuplicateEvent`.
> - The duplicate looked up the observer only after its own event
transaction finished. If the original observer settled during that
transaction, the observer left the map. Then the duplicate ran
`onDuplicateEvent`.
> - This made the test "joins the exact deferred observer on duplicate
append..." fail on slow CI (job 127633060467, and once on Windows).
> - This pull request captures the pending observer when the duplicate
arrives. The join decision no longer depends on database latency.
> - The benefit is a deterministic join and a stable test.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
The server test `paperclip-control-plane-port.test.ts > joins the exact
deferred observer on duplicate append and replays it after a new port
opens` failed intermittently with `Error: must join the original owned
observation`. The test gives the duplicate append 30 ms and then
releases the original observer. On a slow runner, the duplicate's event
transaction took longer than 30 ms. The original observer settled and
its `.then` handler removed the map entry. The duplicate then found no
observer after its transaction and ran `onDuplicateEvent`. (The CI
failure took 90 ms.)

**Expected behavior**
A duplicate append that arrives while the original deferred observer is
pending joins that observer. Database latency does not change this
result.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Add a 60 ms sleep inside the `appendEvent` transaction when the
receipt disposition is `duplicate`.
2. Run `pnpm vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/paperclip-control-plane-port.test.ts -t
"joins the exact deferred"` from `server/`.
3. The test fails with `must join the original owned observation`. This
is the same error and stack as CI.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at d8b0eae687.

## What Changed

- `appendEvent` now reads the pending deferred observer before it opens
the event transaction. After the transaction, it uses that observer. If
the duplicate did not see an observer on arrival, it reads the map again
after the transaction, as before.
- A new regression test holds a `FOR UPDATE` lock on the run row from a
second transaction. This forces the duplicate append to wait in
persistence while the original observer settles. The test then checks
that the duplicate joined and that `onDuplicateEvent` did not run. No
sleeps or product hooks are necessary.

## Verification

- Red: without the product change, the new test fails (`expected 1 to be
+0`: `onDuplicateEvent` ran once).
- Green: with the change, `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/paperclip-control-plane-port.test.ts` passes
95/95. The two "joins the" tests pass on 5 consecutive runs.
- Injected 60 ms delay on the duplicate transaction: the original test
fails without the fix and passes with the fix. The delay was local only
and is not in this PR.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change affects only a duplicate append that arrives
while a deferred observer for the same event is pending. Such a
duplicate now always joins that observer. Before this change, it joined
only when its transaction finished first. If the original observer
rejects, the joined duplicate gets the original rejection, as a fast
duplicate did before. Committed appends and duplicates with no pending
observer behave as before.

- Claude Opus 5.5 (Anthropic), model ID `claude-opus-5-5`, used through
Claude Code with tool use (shell, file edits, test execution).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 958f9aa9f3 feat(issues): limit agent-created task trees to parent and child (#19312)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents split work into tasks. A task can have a parent task.
> - Today agents can nest tasks to any depth: parent, child, grandchild,
and deeper.
> - Deep agent-made trees are hard to follow, and an agent that works on
a child task makes grandchildren by default.
> - This pull request limits agent-created trees to two levels: a
top-level task and its children.
> - A request for a grandchild does not fail. The server puts the new
task beside the requester and tells the agent.
> - Board users keep full control. They can still nest to any depth.
Existing deep trees stay valid.
> - The pull request also records which task created each new task, so
the audit trail stays complete when the parent changes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. This is the feature description. Related: #16853
(budgets that include descendant work) also reasons about task trees;
this change does not alter its traversal.

**Subsystem affected**

Issues (tasks): create, child create and move in the issue service and
routes. Agent tools, chat suggestions and creation provenance use these
paths.

**Problem or motivation**

Agents create subtasks as deep as they want. An agent that runs on a
child task gets that child as the default parent, so its follow-ups
become grandchildren. The trees become deep and hard to read. The parent
link is also the only record of which task created a follow-up, so that
record is lost when the parent changes.

**Proposed solution**

Limit agent-created trees to a parent and its children. When an agent
asks for a grandchild, put the new task under the requester's parent and
return `parentAdjusted`. Do not reject the request. Keep board users
unrestricted. Record the originating task in a new server-set
`origin_issue_id` column. Keep `origin_run_id` as the originating run.

**Alternatives considered**

Reject grandchild requests with an error. We did not do this, because
agents then fail mid-task. Add a database constraint. We did not do
this, because existing deep trees must stay valid and nesting can return
later.

## What Changed

- Add `MAX_AGENT_TASK_HIERARCHY_DEPTH` (2) and the
`IssueParentAdjustment` type in `packages/shared`.
- Add `resolveNewTaskParent` and `planIssueParentChange` in
`server/src/services/issues.ts`. `create`, `createChild` and `update`
use the agent limit by default (`parentDepthPolicy: "flatten"`).
- The issue create, `/children` and PATCH routes pass `allow_nested` for
board users. For agents, the routes check authorization against the
parent that the server actually writes.
- The requester keeps its behavior when the server moves a task beside
it: `blockParentUntilDone` blocks the requester, and the new task
inherits the requester's workspace and privacy.
- The server never moves a task above a low-trust boundary root that
contains the requester.
- These subsystems keep any depth, because they find their work by
parent: watchdog reviews, monitor recovery, email-channel placement, and
routines that a person configured.
- An agent move of a task that has children skips only the parent change
and returns `reason: "has_children"`.
- Add `issues.origin_issue_id` (nullable, `on delete set null`, indexed)
in migration `0434`. Only the server sets it. The `createdFrom` detail
field, the `createdFromIssueId` filter and task-creation provenance read
it first.
- Chat prompts now let a chat agent create one task, a task with
children, or separate tasks. The conversation is never a parent.
- The runner `create_task` tool accepts an optional `parentTaskId`. A
chat agent can create a top-level task and then put subtasks under it.
The run must be able to read and change the parent. A conversation is
never a parent. The depth limit still applies. Project tools map the
field to `parentId` through the issue route. The protocol manifest,
semantic contracts and eval fixture are regenerated.
- Watchdog runs that have an active watchdog keep their requested parent
on all create paths, because their access is limited to the watched
subtree.
- Fix a bug that the test drive found: the chat (MCP) `create_task`
ignored the requested `status`, so a `backlog` task became `todo` and
started to run. It now uses the same rule as the native tool.
- Update `skills/paperclip`, `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`, and add the
plan `doc/plans/2026-11-05-two-level-task-hierarchy.md`.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/agent-task-hierarchy-depth.test.ts
src/__tests__/agent-task-hierarchy-depth-routes.test.ts`: 19 new tests
for service and route behavior, all pass.
- Related suites (64 files: issues service, thread interactions,
privacy, watchdogs, provenance, runner tool authority, decisions,
routines, project tools): 1208 tests pass. Two tests changed because of
the intended behavior and pass now. Two `email-channels.integration`
tests fail locally because the test cannot find a bundled skill file
from this worktree path. This change does not touch that code.
- `packages/db`: migration safety, snapshot drift and journal tests
pass.
- Typecheck passes for `server`, `packages/shared`, `packages/db`, `cli`
and `ui` (local `ui` errors come only from generated Storybook catalog
files that are absent).
- Local test drive on an isolated instance with real Claude agents: 29
of 29 use cases pass, including an agent on a child task (follow-ups
placed beside it, with the notice) and a chat that creates a top-level
task with three subtasks.
- I did not run the full `pnpm test:run` or `pnpm build` locally. CI
runs them.

## Risks

- Behavior change for agents: some follow-ups that were grandchildren
are now siblings. The parent of the requester is woken when all its
children finish, which now includes these tasks.
- The runner `create_task` input contract adds one optional field, so
the protocol manifest and the pack contract change. The tool output does
not change: it shows the actual `parentId`, and the activity log records
`parentAdjusted`.
- Migration `0434` adds a nullable column, a foreign key and an index.
It does not backfill rows.
- `IssueCreationSource.run` is now nullable.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, file edits, local test runs).

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 36643d9378 fix(native): retire finished owners whose continued turn rotated authority (#19373)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner runs per-turn agent sessions in managed sandboxes.
A controller keeps a durable session root for each session.
> - When a per-turn owner finishes without a saved runner checkpoint,
the next turn retires that owner. Retirement first checks that the
session root holds only known entries.
> - The runner transport writes two entries that the check does not
know: `authority-epochs/` and `runtime-context.json`. A continued turn
writes `authority-epochs/` when it rotates authority from the turn
before it.
> - So the third turn of an ephemeral-lease task cannot retire the
second turn's owner. The run fails with
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation` and the task waits for a
user message.
> - This pull request classifies every session-root entry in one
contract module, and adds a test that scans the writers so the list
cannot drift again.
> - The benefit is that follow-up turns continue without manual help,
and any future refusal names the unexpected entry.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18846, Refs #19061, Refs #19355

**What happened?**
On staging, the third turn of every task for one agent (gpt-5.6-sol,
native runner, ephemeral sandbox lease) failed. The error was
`runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate;
retirement_refused=unexpected_root_entry`. The first two turns
succeeded. The task then went to `blocked` with "Saved work recovered.
Send a message to continue."

**Expected behavior**
The third turn retires the finished second-turn owner and continues the
conversation.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Assign a task to a native agent that uses an ephemeral sandbox lease.
2. Let the first turn finish. Reopen the task with a comment so a second
turn runs and finishes.
3. Reopen the task again. The third turn fails with the error above.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Staging near 9a79384958; reproduced locally on master 7c0922a7b6.

## What Changed

- Add
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-root-entries.ts`. It
is the single contract for top-level session-root entries:
- Continuity state (moves with a continuity break): the existing
entries, plus `authority-epochs` and `launch-preparation.json`.
- Launch entries (stay in place, carry no authority):
`runtime-context.json`, `diagnostics`.
- Held entries (retirement still refuses): `plugin-runner-state.json`,
`cleanup-activation.json`, `cursor-cloud`.
- `readSettledRunnerdProjection` uses this contract. The refusal now
names the entries. A held entry reports as
`held_root_entry(cursor-cloud)`. An unclassified entry reports as
`unexpected_root_entry(unrecognized-state)`. Names are bounded to three,
limited to safe characters, and have identifiers replaced with `<id>`.
- Add `native-session-root-entries.test.ts`. It scans every local root
writer (the executor, the Cursor Cloud runtime, the provider-pack
authority, the controller migration, the runner transport, and the
launch-preparation store). It reads string and template literals,
same-file constants, `posix.join` and `path.join`, and the harness
persistence directory names. It fails when a writer adds an unclassified
entry, or reaches the root through a new unresolved variable.
- Add three cases to `native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts`: a
finished owner whose root has `runtime-context.json`, an archived
authority epoch, `diagnostics`, and `launch-preparation.json` is
retired, and the epoch and launch preparation move into the archive; an
unknown entry still holds the owner and is named; a held entry is named
as held.

## Verification

- Red before the fix (same string as staging): `retires a finished owner
whose continued turn left runtime context and an archived authority
epoch` received `runner_state_identity_mismatch:
prior_owner_terminal_state_indeterminate;
retirement_refused=unexpected_root_entry`.
- Green after the fix:
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-recovered-owner-followup.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-root-entries.test.ts` (34
passed)
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/native-harness-backup-expiration.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-resume.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts` (1313
passed)
- Live confirmation on staging is pending. After deploy, run a
three-turn task on an ephemeral-lease codex agent. The third turn must
succeed. Its log must show "finished without a saved runner checkpoint;
starting a new runner".

## Risks

- Retirement now accepts two more entries. `authority-epochs` only holds
epochs that the transport archived after it verified a suspended runner,
so it carries no live owner claim. `runtime-context.json` and
`diagnostics` are launch inputs and logs. Unknown entries still refuse
retirement.
- A continuity break now also moves `authority-epochs` and
`launch-preparation.json` into the archive. This is the intended owner:
these files belong to the retired authority lineage. If they stayed, a
later cold rotation could read an archived epoch of the retired lineage.
- I could not read the staging sandbox. The evidence for the exact entry
is from code: the second turn's transport writes `authority-epochs/`
during authority rotation, and every launch writes
`runtime-context.json`. The refusal now names the entry, so any other
entry will be visible in the next failure.

DottaandPaperclip 7c0922a7b6 fix(native): preserve provider backups during slow workspace saves (#19359)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote native sessions save provider state so another web server can
continue the same conversation.
> - A provider can suspend while its accepted result is still saving a
large workspace.
> - The run has released its live lease at that point. A new
backup-owner lookup rejects this uncommitted state.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A remote session can fail to save its provider backup with
`native_harness_storage_owner_missing`. The provider has suspended, but
its accepted result is still in `workspace_finalizing`. The close
callback tries to acquire a new owner after the run released its lease.
A later allocation cannot use a backup that was never published.

**Expected behavior**

Save the suspended provider with the authority acquired during
execution. Recheck that authority before provider inspection and before
and after upload. Keep result finalization and provider-work permissions
unchanged.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a remote native session with durable provider storage.
2. Accept its result and release the live lease while its workspace save
remains pending.
3. Close the provider transport. The old owner lookup rejects the save
before provider inspection.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master `bf10bc695abaef6b20e85b287f456b5ce2edb266`.

**Deployment mode**

A web server with object storage and remote managed Runner sessions.

Related: #19225 retains failed-turn ownership through close. #18436
restores an external controller checkpoint before a changed warm process
is replaced. This change fixes late backup-owner acquisition while an
accepted result saves its workspace.

## What Changed

- Capture the provider backup owner when the remote backend still owns
its execution lease.
- Bind that owner to the current session authority. An older close
callback selects the current warm attachment's owner. Revalidate the
captured fence before inspecting or skipping provider state.
- Add a regression for the close callback during workspace finalization.
- Restore encrypted provider files with a captured owner while workspace
finalization remains pending. Reject boot, generation, result, and
successor changes during upload.
- Document the ownership contract.

## Verification

- Observed the callback regression fail on the old code with
`native_harness_storage_owner_missing`. The same test passes with this
fix.
- `cd server && node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run --config
vitest.config.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-harness-backup-storage.integration.test.ts`:
59 passed, using real PostgreSQL and encrypted object write/readback.
- `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs`: passed.
- Full workspace typecheck: passed with the complete production fix.
- Native execution: 1,151 passed. Managed warm lifecycle: 9 passed.
These tests require a lost-owner error during shutdown, including before
an incomplete provider checkpoint is skipped. The final change to the
lifecycle test also requires rejection after lease renewal is lost.
- Full local `pnpm build`: passed on the final head.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` stopped in chat shard 6 on five
existing deadline assertions. Earlier chat shards passed; the PR CI chat
shards passed. This is not a full local-suite pass.
- The first CI server shard 4 attempt failed the unchanged legacy
environment-inheritance fixture at its five-second completion wait. The
same failure reproduced locally on the repair head and on an earlier
checkout without this repair. One unchanged CI retry passed. No fixture
assertion or timeout change is shipped.
- Latest-head CI has passed. Greptile reviewed the final head at 5/5
with no open threads. The separate Paperclip Review is paused. This PR
does not claim staging acceptance.

## Risks

The backup owner now lives with its session authority. A wrong authority
selection must fail rather than publish provider state. Database
publication still checks the original company, task, run, boot,
generation, and accepted result before and after upload. Tests change
the owner during upload and verify that the selected backup stays
intact. No schema, data migration, or new provider-work permission
changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 model family, with reasoning and code execution
tools. The host does not expose the exact runtime model ID or
context-window limit.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 a6ab6a301c fix(server): retry a run when its remote Runner is out of date (#19326)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - An agent can run on a remote Runner that an environment plugin
provides
> - A release can update the app before the remote Runner, so for a
short time the app sees an older Runner
> - In that window the plugin can refuse the task, but Core cannot tell
this refusal from other errors
> - Today the run fails as `setup_failed` with no retry, and the task
goes to board recovery. Before #19246, it was also reported as a project
authentication conflict
> - Agent verification also counts the refusal as a failed harness test,
and it parks the agent after three tries
> - This pull request gives the plugin a stable error code for a Runner
mismatch, and Core waits and retries when it gets that code
> - The benefit is that a release no longer blocks tasks or parks
agents, and a real authentication conflict keeps its own clear notice

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19246 (it stopped reporting every precheck error as a project
authentication conflict)
Refs #19249 (the same bounded bootstrap retry for a stopped plugin
worker)
Refs #19302 (shares `environment-task-error.ts`; its diagnostic envelope
is unchanged)
Refs #19172 (related open PR: it reports an undescribable plugin Runner
as a retryable check in the same precheck)
Refs #18667 (a real `ai_connection_incompatible` conflict, which now
gets its own notice)

**What happened?**
A run started while its remote Runner was older than the app. The
environment plugin refused the task because the installed Runner did not
match the revision it expects. Core recorded a generic setup failure,
scheduled no retry, and blocked the task. Before #19246, Core reported
this as a project authentication conflict. An agent in `verifying`
counted the same refusal as a failed harness test. After three tries it
stopped verification until a person chose Retry.

**Expected behavior**
Core treats a Runner mismatch as temporary. A run retries without
blocking its task. A `verifying` agent checks again until the Runner
matches. Only a real `ai_connection_incompatible` result blocks the
task, with a notice that names the conflict.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use an agent on a plugin environment whose installed remote Runner
revision differs from the revision the plugin expects.
2. Wake the agent on a task, or put a new agent through verification.
3. The run fails with `setup_failed` and the task is blocked.
Verification parks after three tries.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at 377e98f1a2.

**Deployment mode**
Authenticated deployment with a plugin environment that provides a
remote Runner.

## What Changed

- Plugin SDK: add `PluginEnvironmentTaskError` and
`ENVIRONMENT_TASK_ERROR_CODES` with one code,
`runner_revision_mismatch`. The worker RPC host sends it as structured
`environmentTask` error data with the schema
`paperclip/environment-task-error-code/v1`
(`environmentTaskErrorCodeData`, read with
`readEnvironmentTaskErrorCode`). This uses the same envelope method as
the other environment RPC errors. Core reads only the code, never the
message. The source refusal diagnostic from #19302 keeps its own schema
and API unchanged, and it takes precedence on a source `submit`.
- `executeEnvironmentTask` still replaces each worker error with a
generic error. After the #19302 diagnostic check, it now keeps only that
closed code.
- Run setup: a Runner mismatch before provider dispatch gets the error
code `runner_revision_mismatch`. Setup schedules a bounded retry with
its own reason, `runner_revision_wait`, and budget (10 attempts, 60 s
apart). The reason is in the same resource-wait lane as workspace and AI
connection waits, so a wait does not spend the failure retry budget. The
guards are the same as for `plugin_worker_unavailable`. Recovery and
legacy reconciliation treat the code like the other bootstrap-only
codes. `scheduleBoundedRetryForRun` uses the Runner wait reason and
budget for a mismatch run when a caller gives no reason, and the
recovery sweeper reports exhaustion from that budget
(`failedRunRetryBudgetSpent`). An answered interaction that hits a
mismatch also waits for the Runner, and its successor keeps the resolved
interaction continuation identity.
- Move the managed project auth classification from `heartbeat.ts` to
`classifyManagedProjectAuthFailure` in `run-preparation.ts`. Only a
found `ai_connection_incompatible` conflict becomes a configuration
failure. All other errors keep their own code.
- Recovery notices: `ai_connection_incompatible` now has its own notice
instead of the "secret/env bindings" text. An exhausted Runner wait gets
the notice "Remote Runner is out of date".
- Agent verification: the Runner probe and the managed project auth
precheck report a mismatch as a retryable check.
`assertHarnessTestPassed` maps it to the new lifecycle code
`runner_revision_mismatch`. That code never counts toward the
three-failure park. The agent checks again every 60 s and becomes ready
when the Runner matches.
- Document the error code in `doc/plugins/PLUGIN_ENVIRONMENT_TASKS.md`.

## Verification

- `cd packages/plugins/sdk && npx vitest run
tests/environment-task-error-code.test.ts
tests/environment-task-error.test.ts tests/worker-rpc-host.test.ts`: the
code crosses the real `environmentTask` RPC. A plain error with the same
message gets no code. Other methods get no envelope. The #19302
diagnostic tests still pass.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts`: a fresh or wrapped
mismatch gets `runner_revision_mismatch` and the runner retry budget,
with no configuration failure. A started, untrusted (message only) or
native run keeps `setup_failed` with no retry. A real
`ai_connection_incompatible` stays `configuration_incomplete` with no
retry. Other errors, such as an unreachable execution host, are not
reported as an authentication conflict.
- `npx vitest run src/services/execution-recovery-attempt.test.ts`:
Runner waits do not change `failureRetries`, and earlier failures do not
shorten the wait.
- `npx vitest run src/services/heartbeat/retries.test.ts
src/modules/run-dispatch` (embedded Postgres): a recovery caller without
options gets the Runner wait budget and its exhaustion. An answered
interaction waits for the Runner, keeps its continuation identity and
does not spend failure retries.
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/environment-task-runtime.test.ts`:
sanitization keeps only the code. No worker text or cause survives.
- `npx vitest run
src/modules/agent-lifecycle/__tests__/verification-retry.test.ts`
(embedded Postgres): a `verifying` agent keeps checking after five
mismatches. It never gets `retryRequired`. It becomes ready when the
next check passes.
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/plugin-runner-probe-runner-mismatch.test.ts
src/__tests__/agent-harness-verification-remote.test.ts
src/services/recovery/stranded-notice.test.ts
src/services/recovery/service.pause-durability.test.ts
src/services/legacy-execution-recovery.test.ts`.
- `npx tsc --noEmit` passes for `packages/plugins/sdk` and `server`.
- One test in `src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts`
("redacts opaque environment-bound credentials from Sentry diagnostics")
fails on my machine. It fails the same way on the base commit without
this change.
- I did not run the full `pnpm test:run`, `pnpm -r typecheck` or `pnpm
build`. CI covers them.

## Risks

- Low to medium. The change adds one new setup failure code and one
lifecycle code. Other failures keep their current behavior.
- A Runner mismatch must come from a plugin that throws
`PluginEnvironmentTaskError`. Until an environment plugin does that,
behavior is the same as today.
- The run retry budget is 10 minutes. If a Runner update takes longer,
the task goes to board recovery with the Runner notice.
- A remote Runner run without a managed AI connection reaches the Runner
check only after native dispatch. That configuration is not supported,
so this change does not handle it. Such a run keeps the native session
retry (3 attempts, 30 s apart).
- #19172 edits the same precheck call in `agent-environment-test.ts`.
Whichever PR merges second needs a small rebase. Keep the mismatch check
before its generic retryable check.

DottaandPaperclip 789a71bc17 fix(runner): retry quarantined tasks in their saved workspace (#19340)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native sessions retain execution ownership and action history across
turns.
> - Task Retry must prove that old execution has stopped before it
starts another turn.
> - An attempt can inherit its predecessor's identity and fail before it
launches a provider.
> - The cleanup proof searched under that failed attempt and compared
unrelated event sequences.
> - This pull request verifies the retained owner and starts one fresh
authorized turn.
> - Saved results and uncertain action outcomes remain intact.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?** Task Retry accepted repeated clicks but kept the
canonical request deferred with `executionWait.reason: local_cleanup`.
It created no successor, although the retained local worker and provider
had stopped.

**Expected behavior:** After exact cleanup proof, admit one fresh turn.
Preserve the old journal and result. Keep unresolved action outcomes
unknown.

**Steps to reproduce:**
1. Finish a local native turn with retained cleanup state and a saved
result.
2. Let the next attempt inherit its identity and fail with
`native_session_cleanup_quarantined` before any launch.
3. Upgrade across a tool-contract change, then click task Retry.
4. The old code requires the failed attempt's stop receipt and journal
identity. It also requires the current tool fingerprint and equal
sequence numbers across raw and normalized events. Those requirements
cannot match the retained owner.

**Paperclip version or commit:** Reproduced on `31bf6e4482`.
**Deployment mode / installation method:** Authenticated, self-hosted
source checkout.
**Agent adapter(s) involved:** Native `paperclip_runner`, local Codex
app-server. The shared physical-stop proof also covers ACPX.
**Database mode:** Embedded PostgreSQL 18.1.
**Access context:** Board task Retry.
**Node.js version / operating system:** Incident: Node 24.20.0, Linux
ARM64. Local verification: macOS ARM64.
**Relevant logs or output:** Accepted Retry stays in
`deferred_issue_execution`; no new run or provider launch occurs.
**Relevant config:** Per-turn local native execution. The old tool
contract differs from the current contract.
**Additional context:** Related: #19311 prevents the oversized tool
result that can lead to retained cleanup. #18217 covers broader cleanup
isolation and retained-result maintenance. #19134 admits stopped Runner
sources under the current run lease. This patch fixes explicit
continuation admission on current master.

## What Changed

- Resolve the retained journal's owner under the same company, task,
agent, workspace, native session, and runner instance.
- Require terminal ownership, settled controllers, released local
leases, and exact inherited process birth. Refuse any launch evidence on
the failed attempt.
- Accept a current host's verified process absence from its exact launch
receipt when an older server lacks a stop receipt. A later launch
invalidates that observation.
- Validate normalized receipts against their own IDs, sequences, and
digests. Match ordered provider identities to the independent raw
journal.
- Keep tool compatibility at the session reuse boundary. Explicit
continuation always uses a fresh session.
- Bind the stop proof to its exact successor and canonical Retry
receipt. Reuse the proven local workspace through normal preparation.
Refuse changed bindings, closed or remote workspaces, pending
operations, and other live leases. Projectless run-ID placeholders keep
the existing fresh-workspace fallback.
- Retain journals, results, files, and uncertain action outcomes. Add
regression and opt-in live acceptance coverage.
- Make the split-handoff browser test wait for both child-completion
notices and all run settlement before teardown. Assert the final task
set stays unchanged.

## Verification

- Red: canonical Retry on the original code accepts one saved intent but
creates zero successors and records `local_cleanup`.
- Red: distinct raw and normalized event sequences reproduce that wait
after owner resolution alone. After admission was repaired, live
acceptance then exposed the empty-attempt workspace problem. A
PostgreSQL regression also reproduced that wrong workspace selection.
- Green at `6684df5e82`: **479 targeted cases**, including 26 new
PostgreSQL cases for duplicate clicks, exact process and workspace
ownership, controller/lease fences, changed state, and independent
receipt integrity. The complete 1,150-test native executor suite passed
earlier.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass again at final head
`432a52bea8`, including its build stamp. Token gates pass. Master now
contains the unrelated directory-fixture type correction found during
the first typecheck.
- Real authenticated HTTP Retry with Codex `gpt-6.1-sol`, high effort,
and per-turn execution passes again at final head `432a52bea8` (93.3
seconds). It preserves the first file line, appends the second once,
starts a fresh session in the existing workspace, keeps the retained
journal unchanged, commits finalization, and clears task locks.
- The strengthened split-handoff browser scenario passes **three
consecutive local runs**. Its original CI teardown and one same-head
rerun failed when cleanup cancelled an active legacy
completion-notification run and hit a PostgreSQL row-lock timeout. The
scenario now waits for the complete handoff before cleanup. [Initial
failure](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42106466518/job/127523693634),
[same-head
rerun](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42106466518/job/127531698321).
These failures remain part of the verification record.
- The local full `pnpm test:run` passed all six chat integration shards.
Its obsolete pre-rebase attempt was stopped during the general server
phase; no complete local-suite pass is claimed. Full CI, including both
required gates, passed at `6684df5e82`. At final head `432a52bea8`, all
initial CI groups passed except the unchanged status-card deadline test,
whose post-wakeup clock assertion missed its bound by 10 ms. That exact
case passed three unchanged local repetitions (16.8/27.0/18.3 seconds);
the single isolated shard rerun passed all **2,218 tests** (123 files),
with no source changes. [Initial timing
failure](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42114473652/job/127550722187).
- Greptile reviewed `6684df5e82` at **5/5**, with no actionable
findings. A second reviewer identified the supported projectless
placeholder case. A new real PostgreSQL regression reproduced its
workspace-binding failure before the one-line fallback correction; all
**45 focused cases** now pass, including default environment selection
and changed binding/cwd refusal. Greptile reviewed final head
`432a52bea8` at **5/5**, with no blocking findings. The second
reviewer’s thread is resolved.
- The patched Linux build verified the actual retained worker/provider
ownership and process absence in a transaction that was rolled back. No
retained state was retired or provider started during that
pre-deployment check.

## Risks

- This changes an execution admission proof. Incorrect ownership could
permit a second executor. The proof retains process, controller, lease,
scope, journal, and receipt fences, and duplicate admission is tested
through the real queue.
- Missing or conflicting evidence remains deferred. Windows, remote
execution, automatic replacement, and session reuse retain their
existing policies.
- No database migration or UI change. The original affected task still
needs deployment of the fix before recovery can be claimed.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, SSH diagnostics, and live provider testing. This session does
not expose the exact backend model build or context-window size. The
live test agent uses OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` at high effort.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

## Risks

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

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19252

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

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 b86f55f0ba test(server): remove two more server test races (#19330)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server Vitest shards gate every pull request
> - Two more server tests failed on pull requests that do not touch them
(#19309, #19265)

> - This pull request removes both root causes without retries or skips
> - The benefit is fewer false CI failures

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19309, #19265, #19314

**What happened?**

- #19309, job 127459915333: `workspace-recovery.test.ts` > "keeps
ancestor Retry held when current proof changes: sibling_hold" received
`requestId: null` from a second Retry request.
- #19265, job 127481105563: `paperclip-control-plane-port.test.ts` >
"retains a durably recorded governed terminal while its postcommit
observer is pending: checkpoint timeout" failed with "native session
checkpoint timed out after 100ms" before the terminal was recorded.

**Root causes**

1. Workspace recovery (test race). `POST /issues/:id/retry` returns 202
and then starts `heartbeat.resumeTaskRetry` without waiting. The
proof-change tests change state after the receipt. When the background
nudge runs first, it admits the Retry and queues a run before the
change. The new queued run is then the latest run, so the second Retry
in `sibling_hold` is stale. I proved this locally: a 1.5 s pause after
the receipt made every gate in the family fail with a queued run in the
issue history.
2. Control-plane checkpoint timeout (budget too tight).
`checkpointTimeoutMs: 100` applies to every checkpoint in the session,
including the normal checkpoints before the terminal. On a loaded
runner, one of those took more than 100 ms. The test expects only the
checkpoint that the pending observer blocks to time out.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts`: add
`receiptOnlyRecoveryApp`. It builds the same route app, but the route
nudge does nothing. The two proof-change families ("keeps ancestor Retry
held…" and "holds a failed-preparation HTTP Retry…") use it and call
`resumeTaskRetry` explicitly, as before.
-
`server/src/services/native-runtime/paperclip-control-plane-port.test.ts`:
the checkpoint budget is 1 s. The timeout case now waits for the run to
fail with the timeout while the observer is still blocked, instead of a
fixed 700 ms sleep. This also proves that the timeout fires while the
observer is pending.

## Verification

- With the forced 1.5 s pause and the fix applied: both
workspace-recovery families pass (80 passed).
- `npx vitest run src/services/workspace-recovery.test.ts -t "keeps
ancestor Retry held when current proof changes|holds a
failed-preparation HTTP Retry when current proof changes"`: 80 passed.
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/paperclip-control-plane-port.test.ts`: 94
passed, run 3 times.

## Risks

- Low risk. The changes are only in tests. The route nudge is a latency
hint ("Maintenance redelivers it"). Other tests still cover it.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 ffd9591ab4 fix(recovery): preserve cancelled files after a reusable sandbox stops (#19305)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run writes its task files in a remote sandbox. The task
workspace records that run as its writer until the files are saved.
> - When a user stops or reassigns a run, the cancelled-workspace
preservation worker records the unsaved files as file recovery work.
> - A warm run (`keep_running`) that is not successful releases its
reusable sandbox through stop-and-retain. That release can finish before
the worker sees a terminal coordinator.
> - The worker accepted only an active lease or a released ephemeral
lease. It ignored the released reusable lease, so it never recorded the
file recovery.
> - The workspace kept the ended writer's hold. Each successor run
waited, then failed with "The workspace still has an unfinished writer
or save operation" after the one-hour cutoff.
> - This pull request accepts a released reusable lease that has a
confirmed stop-and-retain receipt as a preservation source.
> - The benefit is that the stopped run's files become recovery work,
and the task is not stranded behind a hold that nothing settles.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18820 (preserves files when Stop finds no live controller). Refs
#17677 (schedules cancelled workspace preservation). Refs #19285 (parks
a workspace wait behind an ended writer).

**What happened?**

A board user reassigned a task during a warm native run. Stop cancelled
the run with `issue_reassigned`, and the Stop acknowledgement was
recorded. The executor settled the coordinator to `terminal_failure`
with no owner. About eight seconds later, terminal release stopped and
retained the reusable Daytona sandbox. The lease became `released` with
`leasePolicy: reuse_by_environment`, a `stopped` termination receipt and
a stop-and-retain receipt. The task workspace stayed `dirty` with
`writerRunId` set to the cancelled run. No file recovery was recorded.
The new assignee's runs waited as `workspace_busy` for one hour. Then
each run failed `setup_failed`, and the task became blocked.

The heartbeat run row showed `nativePhase: "observed"`. That value is
stale: the checkpoint persist wrote it during teardown. The coordinator
itself was `terminal_failure`: the run's execution projection was
`recovery_needed` with no matching recovery action.

**Expected behavior**

The preservation worker records the stopped run's prepared files as file
recovery work. The lease keeps its release status and receipts. No
second stop and no new provider turn start.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Cancel a native run with an acknowledged run-only Stop. Its remote
workspace reference is `prepared`, and the coordinator is
`terminal_failure` with no owner.
2. Release its reusable lease through stop-and-retain (`released`,
`reuse_by_environment`, confirmed stop receipt).
3. Run the cancelled-workspace preservation worker or the startup scan.
4. On master, the run has no `workspaceRestoreRecovery`, and no recovery
action exists.

## What Changed

-
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-failed-workspace-recovery.ts`:
add one source check, `cancelledWorkspaceSource`, for cancelled
preservation. The worker check and the startup scan both use it. It
keeps the active and ephemeral cases. It adds a released reusable lease
only when the stop-and-retain receipt is confirmed
(`hasConfirmedSandboxStopAndRetain`) and `preparedRemoteWorkspaceSource`
proves the exact remote-workspace binding. This is the same proof the
restore recorder uses. Native-sync runs have no such proof and stay
ineligible. An ineligible source causes no run write or notification.
- The restore recorder (`preserveLegacyWorkspaceRestoreSources`) already
accepts this source. It checks the confirmed receipt and the exact
prepared workspace binding, and it keeps the lease status, policy and
receipts. This pull request does not change it.
- `native-cancelled-workspace-preservation.test.ts`: add the incident
shape as a regression for the worker and the startup scan, and add
safety cases.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: document the stopped reusable source and
the writer hold until recovery.

## Verification

From `server`:

```sh
npx vitest run src/services/native-runtime/native-cancelled-workspace-preservation.test.ts
```

- Red before the fix: the two new regression cases failed (`expected {
nativeCancellation: … } to match object { …, workspaceRestoreRecovery: …
}`). 30 other cases passed.
- Green after the fix: 36 passed.
- Review follow-up: the cases `invalid-receipt`, `expired-lease` and
`native-sync` failed on the previous head 1d461b4605. The scan or the
worker rewrote the run row. These cases pass now. Each case runs the
worker and two scans, then asserts that the run row and the lease row
are unchanged.
- Recovery-time fencing: after preservation,
`inspectWorkspaceRecoverySource` rejects with `workspace_writer_active`
while a task run is running. It rejects with
`allocation_ownership_ambiguous` when a later lease shares the
allocation.
- The regression checks: recovery recorded with the lease ID, run still
`cancelled` with `issue_reassigned`, lease row unchanged (status, policy
and receipts), one recovery action, recovery source inspection finds one
source, the worker disarms, and a repeated pass records nothing again
and creates no run or wake.
- Safety cases, all with no recovery record and unchanged run and lease
rows: a live coordinator owner, a `pending` (not acknowledged) Stop, a
lease without a stop receipt, an invalid receipt, an expired lease, a
native-sync run, and a `running` run.
- Affected suites were run locally: `native-failed-workspace-recovery`,
`native-workspace-reconstruction`, `workspace-recovery`,
`remote-workspaces.integration`, `native-environment-settlement-work`,
`server-startup-feedback-export`, `heartbeat/run-control`,
`heartbeat-remote-workspace-busy`. On a heavily loaded machine, some
cases timed out at 30 s. A rerun of those two files passed 135/135
tests; one file still reported a 30 s hook timeout. CI runs these
suites.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passes.
- Not done: a live staging run. The fix is not deployed.

## Risks

- Low. The new source applies only to a cancelled native run that has an
acknowledged run-only Stop, a terminal coordinator with no owner and no
accepted result, a prepared workspace reference, and a confirmed
stop-and-retain receipt for the same run, lease and allocation.
- Preservation records recovery work only. It does not stop the sandbox
again, change the lease policy, or grant execute rights. Recovery later
checks live owners and retired predecessors before it uses the sandbox.
- The writer hold on the workspace does not change. Successor runs still
wait until recovery saves the files, so unsaved files are not
overwritten. The one-hour cutoff stays.

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19246
Refs #19259

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 31bf6e4482 Pin plugin Runner cleanup to its physical task (#19300)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Plugin Runner owners manage a physical task through an environment
lease.
> - The existing replacement path can assign a new physical task to that
same lease.
> - A delayed old owner can then stop the replacement or mark it
stopped.
> - Cleanup must keep the original physical task identity across RPC and
database writes.
> - This pull request pins that identity and keeps cleanup available to
the new owner.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19134 and #19157. This fix is based on master and does not enable
repeated stopped-source recovery. A search found no duplicate fix.

**What happened?**

The maintained `createOwnedSandbox` replacement path changes
`providerLeaseId` on one lease. An old task owner uses that mutable
lease for a later Stop. A stopped-state response already in flight can
also update the new task's flags.

**Expected behavior**

The old owner must address its original task. Its late cleanup writes
must not alter the replacement. The replacement's own owner must still
stop and complete it.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a plugin task owner for a stopped task.
2. Replace that task through the existing describe/startup path on the
same lease.
3. Resume an old checkpoint or a held old status response.
4. Observe a Stop for the replacement or an incorrect stopped flag
before this fix.

## What Changed

- Require each task owner to keep the physical ID returned by its
description. Reject a rebind to a different task.
- Carry the ID through the existing internal task context after startup
ends. Reject a changed physical task before RPC dispatch.
- Match the physical task in stopped-state, completion and
credential-handoff writes.
- Hold the exact lease row through the retained-session database update
and local checkpoint save.
- Cover the maintained replacement path with real PostgreSQL tests.
Preserve positive cleanup for the replacement owner. Document this
boundary.

## Verification

- Both replacement regressions failed on unmodified master `10a7d039c8`:
delayed old-owner Stop targeted the replacement, and a held old status
response marked it stopped.
- Six focused files passed 160 tests: task authority, task runtime, warm
tasks, execution target, credential writeback and task owner.
- Four selected executor factory cases passed. They cover task-only
providers and the physical task binding after the startup context ends.
- Runner TypeScript, plugin SDK and adapter-utils builds passed. Server
TypeScript check passed. Diff and added-line secret scans passed.
- All 15 setup-probe cases passed with the actual Runner and fake
provider binaries. The first local attempt lacked cargo on PATH. A
sandboxed native attempt timed out in seven process cases; the unchanged
run with loopback permission passed all 15. A separate initial DB
integration attempt was denied a loopback listener; its
permission-correct run passed.
- Review found three missed constructors in the existing SDK/Core
lifecycle fixture. They now use the actual describe result. All four
cases in that real PostgreSQL and worker RPC file passed.
- The first GitHub attempt failed in the unchanged GitHub recovery
pagination case in `chat-channels.integration.test.ts`: its zero-request
assertion observed a configuration GET. That exact case passed locally
without code or assertion changes. The one failed-job-only retry passed;
the initial failure log is retained.
- [GitHub workflow
42082587576](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42082587576)
passed on its second attempt. All CI checks completed, and Snyk passed.
Standard Greptile scored exact head `fb914d98b99e` 5/5 with no
unresolved threads. The branch is mergeable and ready for review.

## Risks

The task context change is internal. It adds no plugin wire field,
schema or Runner mode. A stale owner now gets an error and cannot clean
up a replacement. A new owner can still clean up that task. The retained
checkpoint write holds one existing lease row during a bounded local
file write.

Repeated stopped-source incarnation admission, runtime pins and
deployments are outside this change.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`), high reasoning. Used repository
tools, TypeScript and real PostgreSQL tests.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 8464a8c9ae fix(native): settle a bootstrap retry that lost its task lock (#19307)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native run that fails before any provider work gets a bounded
same-run bootstrap retry. Restart recovery decides whether that retry
can run.
> - The retry needs the task's issue lock. A user comment or another
wake can move that lock to a new run before the retry is due.
> - Restart recovery then returned `issue_execution_lock_changed`
without a write. The same check ran on every recovery pass and never
ended. The coordinator stayed `retryable_failure`.
> - The orphaned-lease sweep waits for a terminal coordinator before it
preserves the workspace. So the sandbox lease stayed active, and every
later run for the task was cancelled as `workspace_busy`.
> - This pull request gives a lock-lost bootstrap retry the same bounded
admission that a superseded remote retry already has.
> - The benefit is that the retry settles, the board gets a
reconciliation action, and the sandbox lease is released instead of
blocking the task.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. Bug description:

**What happened?**

On a hosted instance, a native agent run failed at startup because the
provider rejected `session.open` with a rate limit. Paperclip scheduled
a same-run bootstrap retry. Seconds later, a new run for the task took
its issue lock, most likely woken by a user comment. From then on, every
restart recovery pass for the old run returned `blocked` /
`issue_execution_lock_changed` and wrote nothing. The run recorded about
1,000 recovery events over 12 hours. Its coordinator stayed
`retryable_failure` with `recoveryMode: bootstrap_retry`. The scoped
orphaned-lease sweep found a pending workspace export for the lease. It
could not preserve the workspace, because
`preserveNativeFailedWorkspace` requires `terminal_failure`. So the
lease stayed `active`, and 16 later runs for the task were cancelled as
`workspace_busy`. Three more runs on the same instance were stuck in the
same state. A board Stop on the failed run moved the coordinator to
`terminal_failure`, and the sweep then released the lease within about a
minute.

**Expected behavior**

A bootstrap retry that cannot get its task lock back settles within a
bounded number of recovery passes. The coordinator reaches
`terminal_failure`, the board gets a reconciliation action, and the
existing orphaned-lease sweep can preserve the workspace and release the
sandbox lease.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Fail a native remote run before provider work, so its coordinator is
`retryable_failure` with `recoveryMode: bootstrap_retry`.
2. Move the task's `executionRunId` to a newer run for the same task, or
clear it.
3. Run `claimNativeRestartRecoveries` for the failed run.
4. Before this change, it returns `blocked` with no `retryAt`, and the
coordinator stays `retryable_failure` on every pass. The new tests in
`native-remote-retry-admission.test.ts` reproduce this.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on a hosted deployment. Reproduced in tests on `master` at
`10a7d039c8e`.

Related: #19190 (a `session.open` model rejection no longer schedules a
doomed bootstrap retry), #19131 (preserve superseded observed
workspaces) and #19281 (release the leases of a cancelled legacy run).
None of them changes this admission path.

## What Changed

- **Restart recovery
(`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-restart-recovery.ts`)**: a
new condition, `lockLostBootstrapRetry`, matches a failed run whose
coordinator is `retryable_failure` with `recoveryMode: bootstrap_retry`
and whose issue lock is not on the run.
- A newer run for the task: the existing superseded check now covers
this case too. It defers with `native_retry_source_superseded` as
permanent, so admission is exhausted at once.
- No newer run (the lock was released): recovery defers with
`issue_execution_lock_changed` through the existing `deferRemoteRetry`.
That path persists a deadline, backs off and exhausts after the system
recovery budget.
- When admission is exhausted, the existing hold path writes
`terminal_failure` / `native_restart_recovery_blocked`, keeps the
provider evidence and creates the board reconciliation action. This PR
adds no new terminal path.
- A bootstrap retry that still holds its own lock is unchanged. The
exact-checkpoint remote retry path is unchanged.
- **Docs (`doc/execution-semantics.md`)**: the bootstrap retry section
now states the lock-lost rule.

## Verification

- New test `settles a %s bootstrap retry that lost its task lock instead
of re-checking forever` in
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-remote-retry-admission.test.ts`,
for the `superseded` and `released` cases. The fixture is a genuine
pre-provider failure: a `session.open` rejection with no session
checkpoint, no runner checkpoint row and no provider evidence.
- On `master` without the fix, both cases fail: recovery returns
`blocked` without a deadline, and the coordinator stays
`retryable_failure`.
- With the fix, `superseded` settles on the first pass, and `released`
settles after `SYSTEM_RECOVERY_MAX_RETRIES` deferred passes. Each
deferred pass persists its `nextAttemptAt`. Both end in
`terminal_failure` with one board recovery action, and later passes open
no transaction.
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-remote-retry-admission.test.ts` (from
`server/`): 92 passed.
- Related suites, each run on its own with exit code 0:
`native-ingress-bootstrap-retry`, `native-startup-retry`,
`native-scheduled-resume-lock`, `native-restart-recovery-isolation`,
`native-runner-restart-recovery`, `native-runner-restart-preparation`,
`native-runner-restart-diskless`, `native-warm-transition-restart`,
`native-controller-recovery`, `native-failed-workspace-recovery`,
`native-session-resumption`, `native-startup-cleanup-recovery`,
`heartbeat-observed-workspace-preservation`, `heartbeat/recovery`,
`runtime-selection`, `remote-workspace-migration` and
`native-session-executor` (1,149 tests). Two other suites each had one
local failure that this change does not cause:
- `heartbeat-process-recovery`: "redacts opaque environment-bound
credentials from Sentry diagnostics" fails the same way on this machine
without the change.
- `chat-channels.integration`: "settles a shared-endpoint
accepted-response backlog without retrying its own locks" failed once
under full-suite load. It passes alone, with and without the change.
- `pnpm run typecheck` in `server/`: passed.

## Risks

- Low to medium. The change only affects failed bootstrap retries whose
lock is not on the run. Before this change, such a retry could never
run, so no working path is removed.
- A released lock that comes back to the same run during the backoff
still resumes normally, because the condition reads the current lock on
each pass.
- When the retry settles, the task gets a board reconciliation action.
Before this change, the task was silently stuck behind `workspace_busy`.
- No migration and no API change.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, code search, test runs), extended thinking, and a read-only
investigation subagent for the root cause.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 74b11014c6 fix(server): stop a queued answer from blocking saved-work recovery (#19318)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native run can accept its result before the workspace copy-back
finishes. If a server restart interrupts the copy-back, the run keeps an
owner receipt for the server that stopped.
> - Another server takes over only after the cloud platform proves that
the old deployment stopped. After that proof, recovery checks that the
task has not moved on, so old files never overwrite newer work.
> - That check counted any queued run on the task as newer work.
> - The user's answer to the run's question queues the assignee's next
wake. That wake cannot claim while the saved run holds the task's
execution lock, so it waits for the copy-back.
> - Recovery waited for the wake and the wake waited for recovery. The
task stayed stuck, and nothing was logged.
> - This pull request ignores a later wake for the same assignee that
has never started, and logs waits that the worker stops retrying.
> - The benefit is that answering a question during an interrupted
copy-back no longer strands the task. Every other newer-work check still
applies.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15824 (added platform-verified takeover and these binding checks)
and #19111 (worker concurrency and ordering for the same copy-backs).
This pull request keeps the rest of #15824's fence unchanged.

**What happened?**

On a hosted instance, a server restart interrupted a copy-back after the
worker had written its owner receipt. The run had asked the user a
question, and the user answered. The answer's wake was queued. Every
later server got a valid stop proof for the old deployment and then got
`binding_changed` from the shared binding check: the only failing
condition was the queued answer wake. The worker treats
`binding_changed` as a final wait and returns without logging. The run
stayed `running` and the wake stayed `queued` for about 19 hours, across
many restarts.

**Expected behavior**

A wake that is waiting for the saved run does not stop the saved run's
recovery. Runs that could change the workspace still prevent takeover,
and the publication check still stops a copy-back if such a run appears.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Accept a native result and leave a copy-back owner receipt from a
stopped deployment.
2. Queue the assignee's next wake on the same task, for example by
answering the run's question.
3. Let the reconciler or the workspace worker revisit the saved result
with a verified stop proof. On `master` the takeover returns
`binding_changed` and nothing is copied or committed.

The new database tests run these steps against PostgreSQL.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `03eb49053fe`.

**Deployment mode**

Cloud-managed instances with platform stop verification. The same
binding check also guards operator owner recovery, so self-hosted
operator recovery had the same deadlock.

## What Changed

-
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-recovery-binding.ts`:
the newer-run check ignores a run when all of these hold:
  - It is `queued` and has never started (`startedAt` is null).
- It belongs to the run's agent, and that agent is the task's assignee.
  - It was created after the saved run.
  - Its wake reason is not `source_scoped_recovery_action`.

The run claim blocks such a run while the saved run holds the issue's
execution lock (`lockIssueExecutionClaim` in `heartbeat/queue.ts`). Runs
that have started, other agents' runs, recovery-action wakes and older
queued runs still prevent takeover.
-
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-finalization-work.ts`:
log `runId` and `reason` when the worker stops retrying a wait
(`binding_changed`, `owner_unverified`). It does not log `owner_active`.
- `doc/native-workspace-finalization-recovery.md`: describe the
waiting-wake rule in the shared binding section.
-
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-queued-wake-recovery.test.ts`
(new): the queued-wake tests, with a small fixture of their own. They
are in a separate file so `native-workspace-finalizer.test.ts` stays
under 1,000 lines.

## Verification

- Failing first. These tests in
`native-workspace-queued-wake-recovery.test.ts` fail against the
original check and pass with this change:
  - Operator owner recovery with an answer wake queued.
  - Automatic takeover with the wake still queued.
- Automatic takeover where the wake starts during copy-back. On `master`
takeover is refused before this point; with the change, publication is
stopped.
- The real reconciler, from `retryable_failure`, with a
stopped-deployment owner and a queued answer wake. It now copies once,
commits the saved result and leaves the wake queued with its claim no
longer blocked.
- The fence is kept: three new cases (a requeued wake that already
started, a recovery-action wake, another agent's queued run) still get
`binding_changed`. They pass both before and after the change.
- Changed test: "does not reopen an old result after a newer task
execution exists" now inserts a started run instead of a never-started
queued run of the same assignee. The queued case is now the new
operator-recovery test above.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-queued-wake-recovery.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-finalizer.test.ts`: 2
files, 72 passed. With the original binding file restored, the 4
positive queued-wake tests failed and the 3 fenced cases passed.
- Related suites (finalization work, platform proof, export retry,
finalizer failure, recovery actions, owner-recovery routes, status
reassessment, scoped deadline work): 8 files, 499 passed.
- After rebasing onto `03eb49053fe`: finalizer and finalization-work
suites, 97 passed.
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json`: pass.
- Not verified on a live instance yet. The diagnosis comes from that
instance's run, finalization, workspace-operation and recovery-action
rows, plus a direct stop-proof request that returned a valid receipt.

## Risks

- A copy-back can now finish while the assignee's wake is queued. The
same-process retry path already does this, because it does not run the
binding check. The takeover path now matches it for wakes that cannot
start yet.
- If some path starts such a wake despite the execution lock,
`assertHeld` sees a running newer run and stops before publication. The
window between that check and the write is the same as for the other
binding conditions.
- No schema migration.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) through Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, file edits, test runs, read-only database and log queries). The
runtime does not expose the context window or reasoning configuration.

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.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 5de779848b fix(recovery): save a reassignment-stopped writer's files from its stopped reusable sandbox (#19304)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A remote task workspace stays held by its last writer run until that
writer's files are saved
> - A reassignment stops the old owner's run. The stopped writer still
holds the workspace with unsaved files.
> - When the run used a reusable (warm) sandbox, the stop leaves its
lease `released` under the reusable policy, with a stop-and-retain
receipt
> - Cancelled-workspace preservation only admitted `active` or
`ephemeral` sources. It never recorded the save for this stopped writer,
so no workspace recovery ran, and the hold stayed forever
> - The new owner waited, then failed setup after the one-hour cutoff
with "The workspace still has an unfinished writer or save operation"
> - This pull request admits the stopped reusable source, so Paperclip
saves the stopped writer's files and releases the hold. A waiter keeps
waiting while that save is in progress.
> - The benefit is that a reassigned task continues with the old owner's
saved work, and the new owner does not fail setup

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19285 (parks a waiter behind an ended writer). Refs #19074,
#18820.

**What happened?**
A board user reassigned a task during a native run on a reusable
sandbox. The old run was cancelled with `issue_reassigned`. Its sandbox
was stopped and its lease was released under `reuse_by_environment`. The
workspace still named the stopped run as its dirty writer. No save
operation and no workspace recovery action were ever recorded for that
run. The new owner's runs were cancelled `workspace_busy` repeatedly.
After more than an hour, a new run failed setup: "The workspace still
has an unfinished writer or save operation."

**Expected behavior**
Paperclip saves the stopped writer's files from its stopped sandbox
within a bounded time and releases the hold. The new owner waits for
that save and then continues. If the save cannot finish, its retries end
with a named board recovery action.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Give a native run a prepared remote workspace on a lease with policy
`reuse_by_environment`.
2. Stop the run (for example by reassignment), so the lease is stopped
and released with a stop-and-retain receipt.
3. Run cancelled-workspace preservation. Before this fix, it records
nothing, and the writer hold stays.

## What Changed

- `native-failed-workspace-recovery.ts`: Cancelled-workspace
preservation (the delivery worker and the startup scan) now admits a
`released` reusable lease with a stopped termination receipt and a
stop-and-retain receipt.
- `preserveNativeFailedWorkspace` retains such a reusable source only
with the exact confirmed stop-and-retain receipt, and only while the
workspace is still bound to that writer
(`preparedRemoteWorkspaceSource`). Otherwise it writes nothing.
- `remote-workspace-writer-hold.ts`: For an ended writer, the holder
cutoff now uses the latest progress of an in-progress save of that
writer's retained files (a workspace recovery that is not complete,
exhausted, or recovered). Reservation and the parked `workspace_busy`
wait both read this rule. A waiter waits for the save instead of failing
setup.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: Documents the stopped reusable source
and the save-progress cutoff.

## Verification

- Red before the fix, green after:
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-cancelled-workspace-preservation.test.ts`
— new cases "preserves a reassignment-stopped writer's files from its
stopped reusable sandbox" (worker and startup scan) failed before the
fix: no `workspaceRestoreRecovery` was recorded.
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/heartbeat-remote-workspace-busy.test.ts`
— new cases "keeps a waiter parked while an ended writer's save is in
progress" failed before the fix: the parked retry was released past the
cutoff.
- Safety cases:
- A reusable source without a confirmed stop, a workspace now owned by
another writer, and an already saved workspace are not retained, and the
run row does not change. (The writer and saved cases fail if the new
guard is removed.)
- Preservation does not replay the stopped run, does not create a wake,
keeps the stop receipt and lease policy unchanged, and keeps the writer
hold until the save publishes.
- An exhausted or complete save does not extend the cutoff. The existing
past-cutoff test (no save in progress) still fails setup and keeps the
held files.
- Related suites: workspace recovery, remote workspace reservation,
native workspace reconstruction, native failed-workspace recovery,
legacy workspace restore recovery.
- Not verified on staging: this change is not deployed. The staging task
needs this fix deployed. Then the preservation worker records the save,
workspace recovery saves the files, and the waiting owner continues.

## Risks

- More cancelled runs are now admitted for preservation. The retention
guard requires the exact stop-and-retain receipt and the workspace bound
to this writer, so a reusable sandbox that another run resumed or that
no longer holds unsaved work is not retained.
- A stopped reusable source stays `reuse_by_environment` while Paperclip
saves it. This matches the existing retention path for reusable native
sources.
- The writer-hold read adds one indexed query
(`issue_recovery_actions_source_run_idx`) for an ended writer only.

DottaandPaperclip 7351a9d74f fix(native): restore retired backups after warm lease handoffs (#19299)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and keeps their work across turns.
> - A native session can keep the same sandbox through several warm
lease handoffs.
> - Each handoff keeps the old lease row and records matching receipts
on both owners.
> - The retired-backup guard required exactly one row for a provider
allocation.
> - That rule rejected valid history after Paperclip destroyed the
sandbox.
> - This change uses the existing handoff proof to select the final
owner.
> - A verified backup can then restore without discarding ownership
checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19208.

**What happened?**

A follow-up received a new sandbox after its old sandbox was destroyed.
The old allocation had a normal warm lease handoff. Both lease rows
remained in PostgreSQL. The guard rejected them with
`runner_harness_state_mismatch: backup_without_reusable_lease`. Its
later same-run retry failed with
`native_remote_recovery_lease_mismatch`.

**Expected behavior**

Restore the verified backup when one final owner has a valid destroyed
receipt and every earlier owner has a matching handoff receipt. Keep
uncertain ownership blocked.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Complete a native warm turn.
2. Hand the reusable sandbox to another turn.
3. Complete that turn and save its backup.
4. Close the workspace and destroy the sandbox.
5. Send a follow-up. The new allocation must restore the saved session.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced in the PostgreSQL regression on the parent of this change.
The affected deployed build also contains #19208.

## What Changed

- Select the single final lease owner. Validate all predecessor rows
with `retiredReusableLeasePredecessors`.
- Keep the destroyed receipt, exact backup stamp, and
newer-provider-work checks.
- Add database regressions for one and three handoffs. Reject missing or
changed receipts, an active predecessor, missing history, an unrelated
owner, a stopped source, another backup, and later provider work.
- Document the valid lease-history shape.

## Verification

- Red before the source change: the two valid-handoff cases returned
false. The other 16 database cases passed.
- Green after the change: all 18 database cases passed. They also passed
on current head `d16e098b8c2e6c0dda70984c1df21e3dc792ab34`.
- Command: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-retired-backup-source.integration.test.ts`.
- The database, executor, retry-admission, and lease suites passed: 4
files, 1,308 tests.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed. The build stamp names
head `4ee733c3a979436196522f36537ff182e9df5398`. The full local suite
stopped in chat shard 3 after a 15-second timeout in `materializes
direct external-chat finals once and accepts the next turn without agent
bookkeeping writes`. Earlier shards passed 702 cases; that shard passed
303 other cases. The isolated test passes on this branch and unchanged
master `10a7d039c8efeac0fd655c24970df5ae3658414b`. All current-head CI
chat shards also passed. The earlier full-suite attempt remains failed;
its timeout cause is not established. No test or timeout was changed. CI
is waiting for its last Runner job.
- Current head `d16e098b8c2e6c0dda70984c1df21e3dc792ab34` removes four
comment lines from the previously tested head. Its 18 database cases
passed. Greptile reviewed this head at 5/5 with no actionable findings:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19299#issuecomment-6665446098.
CI remains pending.
- Live inspection found the matching predecessor/successor receipts and
the final owner's destroyed receipt. This was read-only evidence from
the affected build.
- A live provider run at the fixed revision has not been exercised.
Local Daytona credentials and an immutable test image are unavailable.
No deployment or original-task retry is claimed.
- Initial wider tests could not resolve the unbuilt plugin SDK. The SDK
build is now available. A sandboxed database launch could not bind
loopback; the same regression passed with the disposable database
outside that restriction.

## Risks

- A wrong owner could allow an old backup to rewind a session. The
shared validator must account for every lease row and match both sides
of each handoff.
- Live, unrelated, incomplete, or conflicting history stays blocked. The
existing backup integrity and provider-progress checks remain.
- No migration, permission, model, trust, timeout, or retry-policy
change is included.
- The original task still needs the fixed build and normal recovery.
Hosted acceptance remains unverified.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 34d308a331 fix(native): let a run retire the prior owner it reserved when its session rotates (#19263)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native Runner agent keeps a warm provider session per task. A
follow-up run on the same task can reuse that session and its managed
instruction directory.
> - When a follow-up run cannot resume the saved session (for example,
the effective run configuration changed), it first reserves the prior
owner's instruction directory. Then it starts a new session identity and
must retire the prior owner.
> - Retirement treated the run's own directory reservation as another
executor's busy turn. The run failed at startup with
`native_session_supervisor_busy`.
> - That failure happened after the remote workspace was prepared, so
failure handling retained the sandbox and blocked the task. A board
follow-up comment left the task `blocked` with no agent progress.
> - This pull request lets a run retire the prior owner that it reserved
itself, and keeps the directory that it adopted. Any other reservation
or turn is still busy.
> - The benefit is that a follow-up on a task with a rotated session
runs once, and the task does not become blocked.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A board follow-up comment with reopen woke an agent on a task that had
just finished a successful run. The new run reused the task's own
sandbox. The saved session could not resume because the effective run
configuration changed, so the run started a new session identity. At
startup (right after the native execution claim) the run failed with
`native_session_supervisor_busy`. The run got the error code
`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`, the sandbox was retained
for workspace repair, and the task became `blocked`.

The agent had another live run on a different task at the same time.
That run used a different sandbox and a different workspace, so it was
not the cause. The busy owner was the task's own prior warm session. The
new run had reserved that session's instruction directory itself
(`reserveWarmNativeInstructionDirectory` sets `preparingRunId` to the
new run). `retireSupersededWarmNativeSessions` then saw `preparingRunId`
and rejected the run.

**Expected behavior**
The follow-up run retires the prior warm owner of its own task, keeps
the instruction directory it adopted, starts the new session, and runs
once. The task does not become blocked.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a native Runner (Codex app-server) task to completion with a warm
session and a managed instruction directory.
2. Change the agent's effective run configuration, so the saved session
cannot resume.
3. Wake the same task again (for example, a board comment with reopen).
4. Before this change, the run fails at startup with
`native_session_supervisor_busy` and the task becomes blocked.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Observed on staging at `7fd05e13`. The code is unchanged on `master`.

## What Changed

- `retireSupersededWarmNativeSessions` now receives the current run id.
When the prior owner of the same task (same logical owner scope) is
reserved by this run (`preparingRunId === runId`), retirement continues
instead of throwing `native_session_supervisor_busy`.
- That retirement closes the prior owner with
`preserveInstructionsForRunId`, so the directory that this run adopted
is not collected. This matches the existing configuration-change branch
in warm reuse.
- After a successful close, the reservation is cleared. A failed close
keeps the reservation, so its `release()` retries retirement as before.
- A reservation by any other run, a busy owner, and an executing scope
still throw `native_session_supervisor_busy`.

## Verification

- Red before the fix, green after
(`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts`,
"managed directory warm checkpoints"):
- "retires its own reserved directory owner when the session identity
rotates": before, the run rejected with
`native_session_supervisor_busy`. After, the prior owner closes once,
the new session runs once, the adopted directory is not collected during
retirement, and it is collected once when the new owner retires.
- "retires its own reserved directory owner after the Runner claim when
the session identity rotates" (the production `useRunnerd` path, where
retirement happens after the claim): before, admission rejected with
`native_session_supervisor_busy`. After, admission retires the prior
owner and keeps the adopted directory.
- Safety case (green before and after): "still rejects a session
identity rotation over another run's directory reservation". The
provider does not start and the other run's owner is not closed.
- Existing safety case (green): "does not retire an active turn when a
new session identity arrives".
- `npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/instruction-working-copy`: 1163 passed.
- Staging evidence was read only. This change is not deployed.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change applies only when the prior owner has the same
logical owner scope (company, agent, task, workspace, environment) and
its reservation names the current run. That reservation exists only
after this run validated reuse of the prior directory.
- The claim-path instruction copy (`claimWarmNativeInstructionCopy`,
which sets `busy`) is unchanged. That path is not used by Codex
app-server agents.
- Two related points are unchanged and are out of scope here: a startup
failure after the workspace is prepared still retains the sandbox and
blocks the task, and the "Instruction edits could not be recovered"
warning on that failure is advisory only. With this fix, this flow no
longer reaches that failure.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 e37ab23dbc fix: hold an agent's new work while its provider usage limit is active (#19246)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Routine-driven agents run on the native Runner through ACP harnesses
such as Claude
> - When the agent's provider account runs out of allowance, every new
wake for that agent fails the same way
> - The ACP harness reported the exhausted allowance as a generic
"terminal limit failure" with an `unknown` category, so Paperclip could
not tell it from a context or turn limit
> - Paperclip recorded a reset time only for the failing run's own
startup retry; other wakes of the same agent kept dispatching, each
spent about two minutes on workspace setup, and then failed
> - This pull request classifies the limit, keeps its reset time, and
holds the agent's new work until that reset
> - The benefit is that a limited agent stops burning runs, shows a
clear "waiting for usage limit reset" state with a time, and resumes its
queued work after the reset

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13148
Refs #13379

**What happened?**
A routine-driven Claude agent on the native Runner failed 29 times in
about 15 hours. 20 runs failed with `native_provider_terminal_failed`
and "ACP agent reported a terminal limit failure." The recorded provider
failure had category `unknown`. 6 runs failed with
`provider_session_open_rejected`. Their `session.open` result is
`command_execution_failed` with classification `provider_rate_limit`,
and the provider failure is HTTP 429 `rate_limit` ("would exceed your
account's rate limit"). The startup retry of one such run recorded a
cooldown until one hour later. A new wake for a different task of the
same agent dispatched 16 minutes later, spent two minutes on workspace
setup, and failed with the same 429. Separately, 4 runs failed with
"Project authentication conflicts with this agent's managed AI
connection". That message did not say which file or setting conflicted.
The same message was also shown when the check could not finish.

**What did you expect?**
A provider usage limit is classified distinctly. Paperclip records the
reset time when the provider reports one. New work for that agent waits
for the reset with a visible reason. Queued work resumes after the
reset, and no doomed run starts. A configuration conflict is reported
only when one is found, and the message names the file to fix.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use a native Runner agent with a Claude ACP harness whose account is
rate limited or out of usage.
2. Let a routine or assignment wake the agent on several tasks.
3. See each run fail with a generic terminal limit failure or a
`session.open` rejection, and see new runs keep starting.

## What Changed

- Runner: The ACPX turn now receives the typed AIR session failure
(`onTerminalSessionFailure`) through the runtime host and the ACPX port.
The sidecar adds the provider's title to the provider failure message.
Only a rate-limit or quota title becomes `rate_limit` or
`quota_exhausted`. Context, turn and configured budget limits stay
`unknown`. The failure details stay private.
- Server: A native `turn.failed` with a `rate_limit` or
`quota_exhausted` provider failure is now `native_provider_usage_limit`,
the same code as the Codex usage-limit terminal.
- Server: `agentProviderLimitCooldown` (extracted from the startup
retry) also reads a reset clock in the provider's wording, such as
"resets 2am (UTC)". The clock parser moved from the recovery service to
`provider-quota-reset.ts` without changes.
- Server: New `heartbeat/provider-limit-wait.ts`. Before any workspace
or provider work, a queued run for an agent with an active provider
limit is cancelled as `provider_limit_wait`. The run records the reset
time, whether the provider reported it, the category and the run that
reported the limit. Paperclip schedules one retry of the same wake at
the reset through the existing AI connection wait lane. That lane does
not consume the failure retry budget. Manual runs, recovering runs,
conversation turns and pool-routed connections are not held.
- Server: The execution projection shows "Waiting for usage limit reset"
with the reset time and the next step.
- Server: Only a found project authentication conflict is a
configuration failure. Its message names the project file and the
settings to remove. A check that cannot finish (timeout or another exit
code) is now an ordinary failure, not a configuration conflict.
- Docs: `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the agent-level limit
wait.

## Verification

Red before the fix, green after:
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-provider-limit-wait.test.ts`: An
automation wake after a 429 `session.open` rejection dispatched the
adapter before the fix. Now the run is cancelled as
`provider_limit_wait` and a scheduled retry exists at the reset. After
the reset passes, the retry is promoted and the work succeeds. A manual
run, a later success, expired evidence and an unclassified terminal
still dispatch.
- `native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts`: "reads the reset clock
from an ACP terminal limit failure's provider wording" (it fell back to
one hour before).
- `native-session-executor.test.ts`: An ACP `turn.failed` with a typed
`quota_exhausted` or `rate_limit` failure is a usage-limit terminal;
`unknown` is not.
- `packages/paperclip-runner/src/drivers/provider-failure.test.ts`: A
typed AIR limit title is kept and classified; context, turn and budget
limits are not; details do not leak.
- `execution-projection.test.ts`, `ai-connections.test.ts`: The wait
label, and conflict versus unfinished check.
- Safety cases: `runtime-host.test.ts` and
`codex-runtime-adapter.test.ts` forward the callback. The existing
startup retry, provider capacity, recovery classification, legacy
reconciliation, retry scheduling and execution configuration suites
pass.

Commands:
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-provider-limit-wait.test.ts
src/__tests__/ai-connections.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/
src/services/recovery/ src/services/execution-projection.test.ts
src/services/legacy-execution-recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts

src/drivers/acpx/runtime-host.test.ts
src/drivers/acpx/codex-runtime-adapter.test.ts
src/cli/acpx-runtime-sidecar.test.ts`
- `tsc --noEmit` for server and paperclip-runner; the ACPX sidecar and
provider-failure contract checks pass.

I did not run a live provider limit on staging. The live evidence is the
staging run records for the affected agent, which I read only.

## Risks

- The limit evidence is per agent, not per account. If the board changes
the agent's AI connection, automatic wakes can still wait until the old
reset (at most one hour when no reset was reported, and at most one
day). A manual run is not held, and one successful run clears the
evidence.
- A new wake that arrives during a limit is now cancelled and retried at
the reset, instead of failing. The task stays in its status, and the run
shows the reset time.
- The Runner change takes effect when the provider pack is rebuilt and
deployed. Until then, the server still holds new work using the existing
`rate_limit` evidence from `session.open` rejections.
- A turn terminal with a typed rate limit or quota is now
`native_provider_usage_limit` instead of
`native_provider_terminal_failed`. Both are terminal and board-owned.
The recovery text now asks the board to restore provider usage capacity.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 5498db1072 fix(interactions): relay a verified reply to a self-requested human-only confirmation (#19243)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents ask users to approve proposals and plans with confirmation
cards, and users often answer in the conversation
> - `resolve-from-comment` lets the responding agent record that
verified reply on the card
> - Native agents often create their own proposal or plan confirmation
as `human_only`, because the `request_human_input` schema offers only
that value
> - `resolve-from-comment` then refuses with `interaction_human_only`,
and the plan and onboarding gates keep the task in `in_review` or
`blocked`, although the user explicitly approved
> - This pull request adds one narrow relay for that case and keeps
every other human-only gate on its card
> - The benefit is that an explicit conversational approval works again,
and governed, company-capped and quality-review approvals keep their
existing controls

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19073

**What happened?**
TestOps launch https://paperclip.testops.cloud/launch/2694 (GitHub run
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41915965118)
failed three Product regression cases for the same reason:
`continuation/revision-preserves-approval`,
`first-task/clarify-propose-accept` and `first-task/revise-accept`. In
each case the agent created a `request_confirmation` with
`resolverPolicy: human_only` (`effectiveResolverPolicySource:
requested`). The user replied "I approve…" or "Yes, I accept that
proposal". The agent's `resolve-from-comment` call returned 403
`interaction_human_only`. The task stayed `in_review` (plan gate) or
became `blocked` (onboarding decision gate).

**Expected behavior**
When the agent itself asked for a human-only answer, the verified latest
reply of the user it serves is that human answer. The agent can record
it. Company-capped, governed-action, issue-review and quality-review
gates still require the human to use the card.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. A native agent calls `request_human_input` with `interactionKind:
confirmation` and `resolverPolicy: human_only`.
2. The conversation user posts an explicit approval comment.
3. The agent calls `POST
/api/issues/{id}/interactions/{interactionId}/resolve-from-comment`.
Before this change it gets 403.

## What Changed

- `issue-thread-interaction-resolution.ts`: the agent actor gets an
optional `relayedHumanUserId`. A human-only decision is allowed as
`allow_relayed_human` only when all of these are true:
- the stored policy is `human_only`, its source is `requested` and its
provenance is `explicit`
  - the resolving agent created the card (`createdByAgentId` matches)
  - no governed action applies
  - no additional restriction (issue review) applies
  - any named addressee user is the relayed user

Company caps, the `governed_action` source and legacy rows with an
unknown source are still denied.
- `confirmation-comment-resolution.ts`: the service sets
`relayedHumanUserId` only after its existing comment checks pass:
user-authored, not agent-attributed, posted after the card, the latest
user message, the same conversation session. It also requires that the
author is the card's addressee, the conversation user or the run's
responsible user, that the card is not a quality review, and that the
company's current cap for the kind is not `human_only` (a tied cap keeps
the source `requested`). The same actor goes into the locked
accept/reject re-check. The activity entry adds `resolverPolicy:
"human_only"` and `resolution: "relayed_human_decision"`.
- `routes/issues.ts`: the route pre-check passes the candidate comment
author. The service still re-verifies everything under its locks.
- `issue-thread-interactions.ts`: carries the relay field into the
service's own audience re-check.
- Docs: the first-task skill and `api-reference.md` describe the narrow
relay. The guidance still says not to add `human_only` to ordinary
proposals.

## Verification

- `server/src/__tests__/confirmation-comment-resolution.test.ts`
(embedded Postgres): 72 pass.
- Green: relay through a conversation user and through a run's
responsible user. The card is `accepted`, `resolvedByAgentId` and
`resolvedByRunId` are set, `resolvedByUserId` stays null, and the audit
records `relayed_human_decision`.
- Negative controls, each with the card still pending and no audit:
agent-authored comment, earlier comment, wrong user, unbound issue/run,
`company_cap` source, `governed_action` source, `qualityReview`,
`toolAction`, `connectionAuthorization`, issue-review `human_only`
restriction, another addressed user, human-created card, another agent's
card, inherited company default, and a real capped card created through
`svc.create` with a tied cap. The tied-cap test fails as expected when
the cap is removed.
- Existing negative controls are unchanged, including `human_only`
without a bound user and the "rechecks narrowed permissions" retry.
- Red check: with the three service files reverted to `master`, the two
new green tests fail and the negative controls pass.
- `server/src/services/issue-thread-interaction-resolution.test.ts`: 21
pass, including the pure evaluator relay rules.
-
`server/src/services/native-runtime/confirmation-comment-api.integration.test.ts`:
11 pass. The real route accepts the relayed reply and refuses another
user's comment with 403.
- Also pass: `issue-thread-interaction-routes`,
`onboarding-first-task-admission`, `paperclip-runner-tool-authority`,
`runner-api`, `onboarding-first-task-assets` and
`company-skills-service` (2,474 tests in total).
- Changed files typecheck cleanly.
- Live verification: Product regression single-case runs of the three
cases are pending after merge.

## Risks

- This touches an approval gate. The relay is limited to cards whose
creator chose `human_only`. All existing reply-evidence checks still
apply, plus a bound-user requirement. Company caps, governed actions,
quality reviews, issue-review restrictions and named addressees still
deny the relay.
- Attribution does not change: the resolver is still the agent and run.
The human's comment is kept as `result.commentId` and in the audit.
- Legacy rows with a null policy source are not relayed.

code execution.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 26391707fb fix(runner): never settle an OpenCode reply truncated at the output limit (#19242)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native OpenCode runs turn the provider's last assistant text into
the task's visible reply
> - A model can loop until it reaches the output limit. The provider
then reports `finish: "length"`
> - The driver used that cut-off text as the final answer, and the run
succeeded with a broken reply
> - This pull request treats a response that stopped at the output limit
as incomplete
> - The benefit is that users get the accepted completion summary or one
corrected answer, never a truncated wall of text

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
In a QA staging run, an OpenCode agent on
`openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017` called `paperclip_finish`
correctly. Then it produced about 32,000 output tokens of repeated text
(`E2E_QUIP_QUIP_...`) until the output limit stopped it. The driver
selected this truncated text as the settled final answer. The run
succeeded, and the task reply was wrong.

**Expected behavior**
A response that the provider stopped at the output limit is not a
complete answer. If an accepted completion report exists, its summary is
the reply. If not, the driver asks for one concise final answer. If that
also stops at the limit, the turn fails.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a native OpenCode turn where the model calls `paperclip_finish`.
2. Let the next assistant message run to the output limit (OpenCode
reports `finish: "length"`).
3. Before this change, that message text is emitted as the final
`agentMessage`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master at e8163fc860.

## What Changed

- `opencode-server-driver.ts`: record assistant messages that finish
with `length`. Emit a `harness.diagnostic` with code
`opencode_output_limit_reached`.
- Exclude text from these messages from final-answer selection and from
the empty-response check. An accepted completion summary then resolves
the reply (existing behavior when no final text exists).
- Without an accepted result, reuse the existing single correction
prompt. Its first sentence says that the previous response reached the
output limit and was discarded.
- If the correction also fails, the turn fails with
`opencode_output_limit_reached`, not `opencode_empty_response`.
- `native-provider-failure.ts`: add `opencode_output_limit_reached` to
the known OpenCode runner failure codes.
- Tests: new `output-limit.test.ts` (limit then answer, limit twice,
normal), and a driver test for a runaway reply after an accepted
`paperclip_finish`, with a new fake-server scenario.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run src/drivers/opencode` in `packages/paperclip-runner`:
13 files, 166 tests passed.
- Negative controls: with the old driver, the two new limit cases and
the post-completion case fail.
- `native-provider-failure.test.ts`: 57 tests passed.
- The live QA staging journey is not verified yet. That needs a staging
deploy of this change.

## Risks

- A long but valid answer that ends exactly at the output limit is now
discarded and gets one correction request. The provider itself marks
such an answer as cut off, so it was already incomplete.
- When pre-tool commentary exists and the only post-tool text is
truncated, existing selection rules can pick that commentary. This is
the same as the existing behavior when no post-tool text exists.
- Only the OpenCode driver changes. Other drivers are not affected.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, browser, code editing). Extended reasoning was used.

DottaandPaperclip 47027e7ba5 fix(routines): retain authenticated agent responsibility on creation (#19222)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Routines save work for later execution under a responsible person's
authority.
> - An agent can create a routine through its normal REST or native API
tools.
> - The create route kept the agent creator but dropped the
authenticated responsible user.
> - The service then selected a parent task's user or a company default,
even when the source run had a different user.
> - This pull request passes the authenticated responsible user
separately from creator attribution.
> - Future automatic runs then use the authenticated responsible user
saved in the routine revision.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An authenticated native agent created a routine without a parent task.
The stored responsible user became a different company owner. An
unrelated parent task could also replace the authenticated user. The
defect changes the identity saved for future automatic work.

**Expected behavior**

Creation must use the server-resolved responsible user from the
authenticated run or API key. The agent remains the creator. A person
who clicks Run now still supplies that manual run's identity.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create an active company member and a different company owner.
2. Initialize a native agent run with the member's identity.
3. Use `call_api` to create a paused, self-assigned routine without a
parent.
4. Read the routine and its first revision. Before this fix, both use
the company owner.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master `56517dda6c5b32bc901b7dbf1605eaaa041c5fba`.

**Deployment mode**

Local source integration with real HTTP routes, agent authentication,
native tool authority, and embedded PostgreSQL. No provider turn is
needed for the reproduction.

Related work:
[#19128](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/19128) adds board
controls for saved responsibility.
[#15207](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/15207) repairs
synthetic identities from built-in installers. Neither fixes this
authenticated create path.

## What Changed

- Pass the authenticated agent's responsible user as a separate internal
actor field.
- Select the board user first, then the agent’s server-resolved
responsible user, before the existing parent and company fallback.
- Keep creator attribution, initial revision attribution, manual
dispatch identity, and existing records intact.
- Add real native API, HTTP, and PostgreSQL regressions for identity
selection, replay, client spoofing, stale claims, revoked membership,
cancellation, cross-company calls, API keys, and fallback behavior.
- Document the creation and manual dispatch identity rules in the
execution contract. Correct the obsolete responsibility sentence in the
agent access map.
- Make the existing live-retry route fixture wait for its committed
comment’s durable wake before draining. Keep all process and saved-owner
assertions.

## Verification

- Captured a failing native `call_api` test before changing production
code. The persisted responsible user was the unrelated company owner.
- The same real route and database boundary passes after the fix.
- Initial affected routine and identity checks: 131 passed. The existing
pending-AI-card fence also passed.
- Follow-up routine checks: 118 passed. The owning scheduled-retry suite
passed all 31 tests.
- Initial CI serialized shard 7/9 failed with a `23503` wake-to-agent
foreign key error during test cleanup. A controlled
real-route/PostgreSQL pause reproduced that exact error on unchanged
base `56517dda6c`. The drain returned before the route registered its
deferred comment wake. The same pause passed after the fixture waited
for the actual commentId’s durable wake receipt. The original failure is
preserved.
- Affected server typecheck after the fixture query change: passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- `pnpm test:run`: still running as supporting coverage. The worktree
changed during the run: map cleanup, then the six-line fixture wait.
Production and routine-test files stayed unchanged. This is
mixed-working-tree coverage, not an immutable full-suite pass for a
commit. Exact next-head CI remains required.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check`: passed.
- Exact head `a12e3f6c42b8ad5826fd58faa3cd9553ea251e09`: all CI gates
passed. Greptile and the native substantive review both gave 5/5 with no
open findings. The native reviewer did not run tests or exercise
shadow-mode authorization.
- Live provider execution remains unverified. This change does not grant
access to another person's AI account.

## Risks

New agent-created routines now use their authenticated responsible user
before a parent or company default. This is the intended behavior
change. The service keeps its fallback when no bound identity exists.
Missing agent-key identity still fails authentication. Missing personal
AI configuration still blocks execution. Existing routines, revisions,
tasks, grants, and manual dispatch behavior do not change. The fixture
waits for a persisted wake record before draining; its original
live-process and saved-owner assertions remain.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` with reasoning, tool use, and code execution. The
host did not expose the context window size.

DottaandPaperclip 3a090b815b fix: retain native checkpoint ownership through warm close (#19225)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native warm session must save its checkpoint under its exact
coordinator owner.
> - A failed turn can return an accepted result before that checkpoint
is saved.
> - The executor stopped renewal and released the owner before the
managed session closed.
> - The backup owner guard then refused the uncommitted, released owner.
A failed close could remain in the warm session map.
> - This pull request keeps the claim and its existing renewal through
checkpoint, close and instruction collection.
> - The benefit is a valid checkpoint owner and one fenced release after
the work joins.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19208, #19206 and #14695. Those fixes cover a destroyed backup
source, Stop before a provider session opens, and retained agent-file
ownership. They do not change this checkpoint ownership order.

**What happened?**

A failed warm turn accepted its result. Its coordinator reached
`workspace_finalizing`, with a result ID and no lease owner. Managed
close then called the durable checkpoint writer. The writer correctly
refused this state with `native_harness_storage_owner_missing`. The
failed close could remain for the next fresh session to retire.

**Expected behavior**

The current claim and renewal remain valid until the required
checkpoint, close and instruction collection join. Cleanup stops and
joins renewal, then releases only that exact claim. A changed owner is
not cleared. An earlier error keeps its identity.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run the new real-Postgres regression against the base commit.
2. Complete a structured failed warm turn through the normal
control-plane result producer.
3. Let the actual managed-session close call its production checkpoint
callback.
4. Observe the missing-owner refusal after coordinator release.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base: `56517dda6c`. The native ownership order also exists on the
earlier failing revision.

**Deployment mode**

Native warm execution with durable harness storage and a managed remote
workspace.

## What Changed

- Join warm checkpoint, managed close and instruction collection before
coordinator release.
- Keep the existing lease renewal active through that work. Stop and
join it before release.
- Run the same fenced release after a checkpoint or collection error.
Preserve the initiating error unless restart detachment has won. Keep
the typed restart outcome and changed-owner fences. Attach only closed
cleanup-failure flags.
- Add real-Postgres ownership, delayed-renewal, error, retry and denial
cases. Route the managed-session regression through the existing
artifact-equipped native test lane. Update the continuity test for the
retained claim. Document the active renewal lifetime.

## Verification

- Red: the producing coordinator had an accepted result,
`phase=workspace_finalizing` and `leaseOwner=null` at managed close. The
production checkpoint callback refused it with
`native_harness_storage_owner_missing`.
- Green: all 9 real-Postgres regression cases pass. They cover a real
20-second renewal tick, a failed checkpoint, one force-fresh successor,
and wrong-boot and changed-owner denial. Actual restart detachment wins
even when checkpoint and joined renewal-stop both reject. The
replacement claim remains unchanged. No new provider turn or
cancellation receipt is created. A private canary does not enter the
closed diagnostic flags or an error cause.
- The executor, restart-recovery and heartbeat compatibility suites
pass: 1,259 tests, with 20 gated skips. The container-enabled continuity
case was not run locally. Its 21-second timer check remains. It now
requires the exact claim during `hasChanges()` and checks release after
the joined work.
- All 39 shard-routing and combined-coverage tests pass. The new
regression runs in the existing native lane with the required Runner
artifact.
- Final local head `0edcc37f35` passes `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm
build`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and the 9-case regression. The
earlier broader compatibility run used identical source bytes. A
separate earlier repo-wide local suite on `6cdd68e915` ended with exit
1. Its general-server stage had one GitHub enrollment acknowledgement
failure, 31,469 passing tests and 215 skipped tests. That
acknowledgement failure reproduced in one narrow run on the same old
tree. It is not an established flake or proven caused by this fix. Later
repository stages did not run. No duplicate broad suite or full local
pass is claimed.
- The first published head failed review for detach-error precedence and
the old continuity assertion. Its server shard also failed because the
new test lacked a Runner daemon in the general lane. Those failures
remain recorded. This candidate fixes their causes. Both exact-head
reviews are now 5/5. The hosted native-server lane ran all 9 new
ownership tests successfully. One unchanged tool-gateway rate-rule test
failed in the first current-head CI run. It passed previously and passed
locally, both narrowly and in its full 183-test file. The single
same-head failed-job rerun passed. All current-head hosted gates are
clean. The initial failure remains recorded; no test assertion was
weakened.
- The provider transport is an in-memory fixture. The managed wrapper,
production checkpoint callback, control-plane result and Postgres
ownership are real. No paid provider or live remote process is
exercised. This does not prove a deployed recovery or a remote stop
receipt.

## Risks

- A slow required checkpoint extends the lifetime of the existing active
renewal. Its cadence stays at 20 seconds for remote claims and 5 minutes
for local claims. It runs only while the admitted checkpoint, close and
collection remain active, then stops and joins on completion or
unwinding. The tests observe a real remote renewal tick. No idle timer,
new retry budget or new worker is added.
- The release still checks company, task, run, owner, attempt, boot,
PID, process start and expiry. Restart detachment retains its recovery
owner.
- The storage owner guard is unchanged. No migration, permission,
provider setting or deployment change is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, `gpt-6.1-sol`, with reasoning, source inspection, local
code execution and read-only staging metadata. Context window and
reasoning effort are host-managed.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 beb73381ca fix(native): let a Stop before the provider session opens continue once (#19206)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A remote task restores its saved workspace into a sandbox before the
agent starts.
> - When that restore fails, the run records only
`remote_workspace_operation_failed: operation=restore exit=1`.
> - The run then fails as `setup_failed`. No retry starts, and a
`blocked` task gets no recovery action.
> - An operator cannot tell which step failed, and nobody owns the next
step.
> - This pull request makes the sandbox scripts name their failed step
in a closed grammar, and it gives a restore failure a bounded retry or a

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19152 and #19187. Those changes name copy-back (save) failures.
Refs #18852 and #19195. Those changes added the bounded bootstrap retry
that this change reuses.

**What happened?**

A board reply woke an agent on a `blocked` parent task. The run failed
during setup 13 seconds later. The only run event was
`remote_workspace_operation_failed: operation=restore exit=1`. The run
had no workspace operation row. The task stayed `blocked`, and its
recovery actions showed `active: null`. The same opaque family also
appeared for workspace preparation (`exit=1` only).

**Expected behavior**

The run names which restore step failed, without command output or
paths. A failure before provider work uses a bounded retry when a retry
can help. Otherwise, and when the retry budget is spent, the board gets
a named recovery action. The saved version is never changed or
overwritten.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Save a remote workspace, then start a new run on a different
allocation.
2. Put a folder at the published workspace path in the sandbox before
restore.
3. Observe that the base code records only `operation=restore exit=1`,
then `setup_failed`, with no recovery action for a `blocked` task.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base: `87dfba6818`.

**Deployment mode**

Legacy runtime with sandbox (Daytona) remote workspace storage.

## What Changed

- The prepare, repository, and restore sandbox scripts track their
current stage. On failure they print `remote_workspace_<op>_failed:
stage=<stage>` plus closed fields: `reason=` (the script's own
snake_case refusal), `archive=` (the archive helper's fixed reason),
`code=` (errno), `disk=full`, `git=` (a fixed label chosen from Git
output), and the existing `exit`/`signal`/`program` fields.
- The server accepts that text only when it matches a strict grammar for
the same operation. Other output is dropped, as before.
- Provider refusals during the restore upload and restore command are
recorded by closed labels, like copy-back.
- A failed saved-workspace restore raises `RemoteWorkspaceRestoreError`
with the server step (`snapshot_lookup`, `snapshot_download`,
`sandbox_restore`). It is retryable only when the owner re-reads the
same writer, epoch, and saved version with no unsaved work, and the
sandbox did not name a refusal reason.
- Setup failure handling classifies a pre-dispatch legacy restore
failure as `remote_workspace_restore_failed`. A retryable failure uses
the existing bounded bootstrap retry. A non-retryable or exhausted
failure records a board-owned recovery action with the redacted cause,
when stranded-work recovery does not scan the task status (for example
`blocked`).
- Stranded-work recovery gets a named notice for this code. Generic
continuation recovery does not grant it a second budget, and legacy
reconciliation does not invent provider actions for it.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` documents the contract.

## Verification

- Red: the new transport tests failed on the base code with
`remote_workspace_operation_failed: operation=restore exit=1` (and the
same for prepare and repository). The new completion tests failed
because the run became `setup_failed` with no retry and no recovery
action.
- Green: `npx vitest run src/services/remote-workspace-transport.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts
src/services/remote-workspaces.integration.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts
src/services/legacy-execution-recovery.test.ts src/services/recovery
src/services/remote-workspace-save-concurrency.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-workspace-finalizer-failure.test.ts
src/__tests__/native-workspace-finalization-work.test.ts` passes (563
tests).
- The transport tests use real sandbox commands. They prove an occupied
folder reports `stage=inspect_root reason=occupied_root` and keeps its
files. They prove a wrong manifest reports `stage=extract
archive=manifest_mismatch`. They prove a missing branch reports
`stage=checkout_branch`, and a changed origin reports
`stage=verify_origin`. Forged output with a path is dropped.
- The real-PostgreSQL cold-restore test proves an occupied root gives a
non-retryable `sandbox_restore` failure and keeps the unknown files.
- The completion tests cover retried, exhausted, refused, post-dispatch,
and `in_progress` cases.
- `tsc --noEmit` for the server reports no errors in the changed files.

## Risks

- A retry keeps the same restore path. If the cause is deterministic but
unnamed, the run uses its two retries before the board action. Named
refusals skip the retries.
- The board action is recorded only for statuses that stranded-work
recovery does not scan, and only when no other action is active. This
prevents a second recovery identity for one failure.
- Script stderr grammar is new. Old sandboxes run the script that the
server sends, so no runner update is necessary.
- No migration, deployment, or credential change.

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.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 87dfba6818 fix(native): retry an unpublished accepted task reply durably instead of dropping it (#19200)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native run commits its status decision and its final reply comment
in separate steps
> - Background presentation recovery publishes an accepted reply when
the live path does not record one
> - That worker dropped the run after one refused attempt and only threw
on an error, with no record on the run
> - A task could then show done while the user never saw the answer,
until an unrelated wake reloaded the queue
> - This pull request makes the publication of an accepted ordinary task
reply durable, bounded, and recorded
> - The benefit is that a task cannot close silently without its answer

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19130 (verify requested publication at finalization, for
documents), #19183 (deliver messages saved while a native run
finalizes), #19186 (stale owner done). This change does not duplicate
them. It covers the final reply comment.

**What happened?**
A native run accepted a result with disposition `done`. The status
decision set the task to done. The accepted final reply was not
published as a task comment. The run had no publication record (no
`run.presentation.resolved` event and no `presentationDecision`). The
reply was published by background recovery 58 minutes later, after an
unrelated wake reloaded the presentation queue.

**Expected behavior**
The accepted reply is published promptly. A refused or failed attempt is
retried with backoff and never posts twice. If publication fails
permanently, the run and the task show a named failure with an owner.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Commit an accepted native task result with disposition `done`, with
the final reply not yet visible to presentation recovery.
2. Run the native response presentation worker check once. The attempt
is refused.
3. On `master`, the worker returns `null` and drops the run. Nothing
records the attempt. Nothing retries it until another notification for
that scope.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at 3b17b5ce15.

**Deployment mode**
Cloud staging, native `paperclip_runner` agent.

Root cause notes: the staging evidence shows that the live completion
path did not reach its presentation step for the affected run (no
`lifecycle run succeeded` event). Staging server logs for that window
are not available, so the exact first refusal is not proven. The worker
defect is proven: one refusal makes `check()` return `null`, which
deletes the scheduled entry. One thrown error escapes with only
in-memory backoff and no record. The fix closes that gap for every
refusal or error cause.

## What Changed

- `native-response-presentation-work.ts`: when an accepted ordinary task
reply (`done` or `needs_review`, not an Agent Chat conversation) is
still unpublished after a due attempt, the worker records the attempt
and keeps the run scheduled. A thrown error for this class is recorded
instead of escaping. When the reply is published, an open retry receipt
is set to `resolved`.
- New `native-response-publication-receipt.ts`: stores the receipt in
`heartbeat_runs.result_json.responsePublication` (attempts, last reason,
last error, next attempt). Backoff is 30 s doubling to at most 5 min,
for 6 attempts. Each retry appends a `run.response_publication.retrying`
run event. After the last attempt it records
`native_response_publication_failed` with the run's agent as owner, a
`run.response_publication.failed` run event, and an
`issue.response_publication_failed` task activity.
- `native-response-presentation-query.ts`: the candidate query exposes
the saved retry deadline, so a restarted worker reconstructs the
schedule. It excludes a run whose publication is recorded as failed, so
retries stay bounded.
- An open retry receipt is settled to `resolved` in the same write that
records the reply's `commentId` (background recovery and the live
`recordRunPresentationDecision`). A candidate that disappears for
another reason leaves the receipt unchanged, so the bound cannot reset.
- When the reply comment already exists but its decision was not
recorded, recovery now records it as `reuse` with that `commentId`. It
does not post again and does not count a refusal.
- Under the run lock, an attempt is not counted again when another
worker already saved a future deadline. The worker also honors that
saved deadline after recovery.
- Idempotency is unchanged: the comment is written only while the
presentation decision has no `commentId`, under the existing coordinator
lock. The receipt write never overwrites a run that already has a
`commentId`.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: documents the contract.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-response-publication-retry.test.ts`
- Red on `master` (3 failed): after one refusal `check()` returned
`null` (dropped); one injected transaction error escaped with no record;
the refusal loop never stopped (more than 10 attempts, no failure
recorded).
- Green with this change (5 passed, including an already posted reply
and two concurrent workers): one refusal keeps the run scheduled and
recorded, a reloaded worker keeps the same deadline, the reply posts
exactly once after it becomes visible, and repeated checks do not
double-post; one injected error is recorded and retried; permanent
refusal stops after bounded attempts with the named, owned failure on
the run event and task activity.
- Related suites pass: `agent-chat-response-recovery.test.ts`,
`presentation-ownership-read.test.ts`,
`idle-native-finalization.test.ts`, `chat-monitor-continuation.test.ts`,
`native-preserved-monitor-wait.test.ts`,
`paperclip-control-plane-port.test.ts`,
`chat-channels.integration.test.ts`,
`photon/channel.integration.test.ts` (2047 of 2049 passed in one
combined run). One local failure needs a bundled Slack skill file that
is missing in this worktree. The other ("materializes direct
external-chat finals once") failed once under load and then passed three
times in isolation and in the combined set with this change.
- Not run: a live staging run. The change has not been deployed.

## Risks

- Behavior change: an ordinary task reply that recovery keeps refusing
now gets a recorded failure and a task activity after about 12 minutes.
Before, it was dropped silently. A persistent integrity decline (for
example a digest mismatch) now becomes visible this way. This is
intended.
- The status decision still commits before the reply. This PR does not
hold `done` on the comment. It makes a missing reply visible with an
owner.
- Agent Chat conversations and yielded chat responses keep their
existing behavior and their completion outbox owner.
- No schema migration. The receipt lives in the existing `result_json`
column.

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.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 3b17b5ce15 fix(native): keep a reassigned-away run from closing the new owner's task (#19186)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A native agent run reports "done" in an accepted result. A finalizer
then decides the task status.
> - The board can reassign a task while the run is in flight. The old
run is cancelled, but its accepted result still goes to the finalizer.
> - The finalizer did not check who owns the task now. The old owner's
"done" closed the task of the new owner.
> - The new owner never did the work, and the task shows done with no
reply from the current owner.
> - This pull request makes a done report apply only when the reporting
run's agent still owns the task.
> - The benefit is that reassignment keeps its meaning: the new owner
keeps the open task, and the old result stays as history.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

On a hosted staging instance, agent A started a native run on a task.
Agent A finished the work and submitted a "done" result. Then the board
reassigned the task to agent B, and Paperclip cancelled agent A's run
with `issue_reassigned`. About 45 seconds later, the native finalizer
committed agent A's done decision with reason
`completion_claim_policy_accepted`. The task became done. Agent B's runs
were then cancelled because the task was terminal. Agent B never worked
on the task.

**Expected behavior**

A done report from a run that no longer owns the task must not close the
task. The accepted result stays as history. The task status stays as it
is for the current owner.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Assign a low-risk native task to agent A and start a run.
2. Submit a done result for the run.
3. Reassign the task to agent B before finalization.
4. Finalize the run. Before this change, the task becomes done.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on staging at `b9fbbf8d30`. Reproduced on `master` at
`06826915d7`.

Related: #19130 adds a publication check for requested documents at
finalization. It does not check task ownership.

## What Changed

- `status-arbiter.ts`: add `ownsNativeTaskCompletion` and
`supersedeStaleOwnerCompletion`. A done decision from an agent that is
not the current assignee (another agent, a user, or nobody) becomes
`preserve` with reason `completion_owner_superseded` and no effects.
Other decisions do not change. This is the same ownership rule that the
provider-failure path already uses (`ownsProviderFailureDecision`).
- `native-run-finalizer.ts`: apply the rule after arbitration and before
the deliverable check. Conversation tasks keep their existing path.
- `native-status-reassessment.ts`: apply the same rule, so new evidence
from a reassigned-away run cannot close the task later.
- The status committer does not change. A reassignment during
finalization already increments `statusVersion` (migration 0358). The
committer then replans, and the retry applies the new rule.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md`: describe the rule next to the existing
"a late finalizer cannot change a reassigned task" statement.

## Verification

New file
`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-stale-owner-completion.test.ts`.
It uses embedded PostgreSQL, the real coordinator store and the real
finalizer.

- Control: the owning run's done result closes the task with
`completion_claim_policy_accepted`.
- Reassigned before finalization: the task stays `in_progress` with
agent B. The decision is `completion_owner_superseded`. The accepted
result row is unchanged.
- Reassigned after arbitration and before the status commit: the commit
replans and the task stays `in_progress`.
- Reassessment control: later approved evidence closes the owner's task
with `decision_superseded_by_new_evidence`.
- Reassessment after reassignment: later approved evidence from the old
run does not close the task. The decision is
`completion_owner_superseded`. This case fails when the reassessment
rule is disabled.
- Pure policy cases: another agent, a board user and no assignee all
preserve status. A non-done decision passes through.

I did not run the full `pnpm test:run`, `pnpm -r typecheck` or `pnpm

## Risks

- A native run that reassigns its own task to a user or to another
agent, and then reports done, no longer closes the task through
arbitration. The status that the agent set through the API stays. This
matches the existing provider-failure ownership rule.
- A native run on a task with no assignee cannot close it through
arbitration. Native task runs start from an assignment, so this is not
expected in normal use.
- Review runs and conversation tasks keep their existing paths. Review
outcomes already preserve status before this rule.
- No schema change and no migration.

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 2141efc097 fix(native): answer Stop during slow native startup with 409 and settle it as cancelled (#19189)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Operators stop a running agent run with `POST
/api/heartbeat-runs/:runId/cancel`
> - For a native run, Stop waits up to 30 seconds for the native session
to open before it can deliver the cancel
> - A remote native session can take longer than 30 seconds to open.
Then the wait fails with `native_cancellation_pending_recovery`, and the
route answers HTTP 500
> - The Stop intent was already saved. The startup owner fenced the late
session in memory only, so the run ended as a provider failure, not as a
cancellation
> - This pull request maps that outcome to a clear 409 and makes the
late session acknowledge the saved Stop intent
> - The benefit is a consistent cancel result and a run that ends as
`cancelled` when an operator stops it during a slow startup

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An operator stopped a native run about 40 seconds after it started. The
run was still opening its remote provider session (session startup took
about 105 seconds). The cancel request waited 30 seconds for the startup
handle, then returned HTTP 500 `{"error":"Internal server error"}`. The
run record showed `executionCancellation.state = "requested"` and
`nativeCancellation.dispatchState = "pending"`. When the session opened,
the executor fenced it and threw `native_finalization_missing: session
returned no semantic result`. The run ended `failed` with
`native_session_interrupted`, and the pending Stop intent was never
acknowledged.

**Expected behavior**

The cancel route returns a clear result and never an internal error. If
the Stop is saved but the session is still starting, the route returns
409 with code `native_stop_pending`. When the late session opens, it
acknowledges the saved Stop, and the run settles as an operator
cancellation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native run whose provider session takes more than 30 seconds
to open.
2. Stop the run from the board while the session is still opening.
3. See HTTP 500 from the cancel route, and see the run end `failed`
instead of `cancelled`.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/heartbeat/run-control.ts`: the cancel path
catches `native_cancellation_pending_recovery` from native dispatch. It
throws `409 native_stop_pending` instead. The run stays `running` and
keeps its saved Stop intent. No terminal transition or release happens.
- `server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.ts`: when
a late startup handle opens after a Stop caller timed out, the executor
reads the run. If a run-scope Stop intent is still `pending`, it calls
the durable `cancelNativeSession(..., { db, scope: "run" })` against the
published handle. This records the audited acknowledgement (`dispatched:
true`). The existing in-memory fence still runs. If the acknowledgement
fails, the executor logs a warning and keeps the previous behavior.
- New regression
`server/src/services/heartbeat/native-stop-pending.test.ts` (real
Postgres): startup-wait timeout and remote-ack timeout both give 409
`native_stop_pending`. The run stays `running` with its Stop intent.
Other native Stop errors stay unchanged.
- New regression in `native-session-executor.test.ts`: a Stop that times
out on startup gets its saved intent acknowledged when the late handle
opens. The provider session is cancelled once, and no turn is submitted.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: `native-stop-pending.test.ts` failed (raw
`NativeCancellationPendingRecoveryError` / `Error`, not `HttpError`).
The executor regression failed (no acknowledgement write).
- Green after the fix: `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/heartbeat/native-stop-pending.test.ts`
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts -t "late
startup"`
- Related suites:
`src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts`,
`src/services/heartbeat/`,
`src/services/native-runtime/native-stop-accounting.integration.test.ts`,
`src/__tests__/agent-live-run-routes.test.ts`.
- Evidence: the incident run had cancellation recorded at 01:12:01Z and
the 500 at 01:12:32Z. This matches the 30-second
`waitForNativeSessionStartup` deadline. Its final error matched the
startup-stop branch in the executor.

## Risks

- Low to medium. The 409 only replaces an error that was already a
failure. The caller still sees "not stopped yet", and the run is not
marked cancelled.
- The late acknowledgement runs only when a run-scope intent is
`pending` and the handle is published. It uses the same durable cancel
path that the reattach branch already uses. It can commit the normal
Stop status decision for the issue. That is the same effect a timely
Stop has.
- If the acknowledgement fails, the code falls back to the previous
in-memory fence. A Stop never gives a second executor: no provider turn
is submitted after the handle opens.

## Model Used

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

DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 f1516e8009 fix(native): stop a session.open model rejection instead of a doomed bootstrap retry (#19190)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native Runner runs start a provider session with the `session.open`
command before any prompt
> - A definite `session.open` rejection is treated as a pre-session
failure and gets a bounded same-run bootstrap retry
> - The runner also reports a closed classification. Two classifications
say that the provider cannot run the selected model:
`requested_model_unsupported` and `grok_model_mismatch`
> - Paperclip ignored that classification. It scheduled a retry that
must fail the same way. On a remote sandbox with a retained runner PID,
the due retry entered restart recovery. Restart recovery has no
checkpoint for a bootstrap retry, so it failed closed as
`native_restart_recovery_blocked` / `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`
> - The task then stayed `blocked`. The recovery actions settled as
no-replay holds, so no active action told anyone to change the model,
and the parent task stalled too
> - This pull request classifies those two definite rejections as the
existing `native_provider_model_rejected` failure
> - The benefit is a terminal failure on the first attempt, an accurate
error, and an active board recovery action that names the next step:
choose a supported model

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
On a hosted staging instance, a Grok agent run failed at `session.open`.
The runner log said `ACPX sidecar command session.open was rejected
(retryable=false, classification=grok_model_mismatch)`. Paperclip
recorded `recoveryMode: "bootstrap_retry"` and scheduled a same-run
retry 30 seconds later. The run had a remote sandbox and a recorded
sandbox PID, so the due retry went to restart recovery. Restart recovery
found no checkpoint and no provider events and failed closed with
`ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`. The run ended as
`native_restart_recovery_blocked`. The task stayed `blocked` with no
active recovery action for more than one hour. Its parent task stayed
blocked on it.

**What did you expect to happen?**
The selected model cannot start, so a retry cannot succeed. The run
should fail once with the model-rejection error. The task should show
the existing "choose a model" action, owned by the board, until someone
changes the model and retries.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native run whose `session.open` command fails with
`classification=grok_model_mismatch` (or `requested_model_unsupported`).
2. Read the `native_run_finalizations` row. Before this change it is
`retryable_failure` with `recoveryMode: "bootstrap_retry"` and a
`nextAttemptAt`.
3. On a remote sandbox run with a recorded PID, the due retry enters
restart recovery and fails as `native_restart_recovery_blocked`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `f5f5184f23`.

Related: #18910 routes due remote retries with a retained PID to restart
recovery. #18908 continues verified failed native preparation. Open PRs
#19177, #19180, #19182 and #19184 change no-replay hold settlement and
workspace hold release. They do not change this classification. This PR
does not duplicate them.

## What Changed

- `nativeSessionFailureSourceCode`
(`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.ts`)
returns `native_provider_model_rejected` for a definite `session.open`
failure or rejection whose runner classification is
`requested_model_unsupported` or `grok_model_mismatch`. Other definite
`session.open` rejections still return `provider_session_open_rejected`
and keep the bounded startup retry. An indeterminate `session.open`
outcome stays `native_session_interrupted`.
- `native_provider_model_rejected` is already a permanent failure. The
run stops on the first attempt with no `nextAttemptAt`, so it never
enters the restart-recovery retry path.
- When no provider session exists, the coordinator `nextAction` and the
board recovery action `nextAction` say: choose a supported model for
this agent, then retry the task.
- The existing product paths for `native_provider_model_rejected` apply:
the task presentation shows `choose_model`, and the recovery service
treats it as `configuration_incomplete`.
- `doc/execution-semantics.md` describes the rule under "Native provider
model capacity".

## Verification

Red before the fix (new test, unchanged production code):

```sh
cd server && npx vitest run src/services/native-runtime/native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts
# Tests 2 failed | 21 passed
# failureCode: native_session_interrupted, phase: retryable_failure, recoveryMode: bootstrap_retry,
# nextAction "Retry provider bootstrap on this same run ..." - the same record seen on staging
```

Green after the fix:

```sh
cd server && npx vitest run src/services/native-runtime/native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts
# Tests 23 passed

cd server && npx vitest run src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts \
  src/services/native-runtime/native-startup-retry.integration.test.ts src/services/task-interruption-presentation.test.ts
# Test Files 3 passed, Tests 1186 passed

pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck   # exit 0
```

The new integration cases use embedded PostgreSQL and the real executor
failure path. For both classifications they check:

- coordinator `terminal_failure`, `failureCode:
native_provider_model_rejected`, `nextAttemptAt: null`, attempt 1
- run `failed` with `errorCode: native_provider_model_rejected`
- task `blocked`, execution lock released
- an `active` board recovery action with cause
`native_provider_model_rejected`, return owner set to the agent, and the
choose-model next action
- `settleUnrecoverableExecutions` leaves the action `active`, so it does
not become a silent no-replay hold
- `claimNativeSessionResumptions` claims nothing, so there is no second
executor

The unit test also checks that `session_ensure_failed` keeps its bounded
retry and that an indeterminate model rejection stays unclassified.

A live Grok run with a mismatched model was not run. The failure record
in the test matches the staging record field by field.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change adds two closed runner classifications to an
existing permanent failure code. Other `session.open` rejections keep
their current retry.
- A model mismatch that a retry could fix would now need an explicit
retry. The runner already marks these rejections `retryable=false`.
- This PR does not change restart recovery. A remote bootstrap retry
with a retained sandbox PID for other `session.open` causes can still
fail closed as `ambiguous_remote_recovery_evidence`. That needs a
separate change with remote stop evidence.

DottaandPaperclip f7a4c5678f feat(runtime): pre-copy completed harness history before enrollment (#19137)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - An ephemeral web server needs provider history in shared object
storage.
> - Offline enrollment must preserve old backups before it can detach a
volume.
> - A large copied dataset still exceeded the maintenance deadline with
parallel transfers.
> - Most of its bytes belong to successful turns with released runtime
authority.
> - This pull request pre-copies that history while unrelated executions
continue.
> - The final offline migration still verifies every source and grants
enrollment authority.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #19108, #19038, #18943.

**What happened?**

A copied instance has 1,953 local harness backups and 54.8 GB of
declared source bytes. A resumed parallel migration still reached its
25-minute deadline. It cannot safely enroll by moving all history during
maintenance.

**Expected behavior**

Copy eligible completed history while the server remains online. Defer
active, failed or changed sources. Keep all existing data and final
enrollment checks.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Retain many local native harness backups on a volume-backed instance.
2. Attempt a full offline conversion within the maintenance deadline.
3. Observe that most time moves historical bytes rather than current
execution state.

## What Changed

- Add finite `native-harness-prestage.mjs` preparation from a normal
runtime build. Require explicit opt-in and shared object storage.
Process one source at a time with a 90-minute deadline.
- Use the recorded released runtime owner of each successful, finished
turn. Do not assert that all writers stopped.
- Recheck checkout, related queued/running work, successful result
ownership, session, Runner, exact lease stamp and unchanged backup at
database publication fences.
- Defer source changes, malformed source JSON and unsafe backup roots.
Log each such source and its reason. Keep database failures and
cancellation fatal. Keep completed objects valid for retry. Never return
an enrollment-ready receipt.
- Reuse the bounded migration source walker. Keep offline admission and
final verification unchanged.
- Keep private lifecycle state, task ownership and provider policies
unchanged. Document the operator path and its limits.

## Verification

- A zero-source scan now checks the existing database obligation query.
A known mismatch blocks with a source-missing receipt; empty
fresh/already-durable scans and nonempty deferred scans remain valid
advisory results. The prior command fails the mismatch regression. All
16 command and runtime-bundle tests pass for this follow-up.
- At head `7ba3dbc7aa`, 87 focused command, database-timeout, storage,
archive, publication and runtime-bundle tests passed with real
PostgreSQL and filesystem restoration.
- The current follow-up passes all 68 backup and archive tests. A source
renamed after preparation fails the new regression on the previous head,
then defers and permits the next backup with this fix. An archive output
ENOENT remains fatal. Existing database-error and cancellation tests
pass.
- New race tests fail against the previous storage owner: a changed
backup, queued turn or revoked lease otherwise publishes.
- Tests prove unrelated executions stay running, same-task work defers,
failed history stays deferred, retry verifies existing objects, and
private bytes restore after deleting the old home.
- Command review fixes require the configured existing vault key, retain
it for the process, set database lock/statement/idle bounds, close
clients on cancellation, and cap shutdown at ten seconds. Abort
immediately sets failure status and prints one blocked receipt. A real
child with real shortened timers reproduces the old missing-receipt exit
and verifies the fix. Tests also use a real PostgreSQL lock.
- Malformed manifest or runner JSON and symlink replacement fail the new
preparation and publication-fence regressions on the previous code. The
fixed command defers each damaged source and copies the next eligible
backup. Separate tests keep database SyntaxError and cancellation fatal.
Offline migration still rejects damaged sources.
- The bundle test runs the emitted preparation entry with plain Node
without starting the app.
- A prior copied-data experiment completed with 1,738 new publications,
nine verified current objects and 206 deferred sources. Later checks
found different database and filesystem capture times: 43 source runs
were absent from the older database snapshot, and one required
historical manifest was absent from the retained filesystem archive.
This experiment does not prove a consistent restore or enrollment
readiness.
- Full current-head CI at ce63517d0c
passed: 54 successful checks, two skipped and one neutral, with no
failed or pending statuses. Typecheck, tests and build pass. CI:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41970370960. The
earlier superseded run lost a spot runner after a shutdown signal; that
infrastructure cancellation is retained and is not counted as a passing
run.
- Greptile and Ponytail both rate this exact head 5/5; all actionable
review threads are resolved. Comment-only cleanup removes newly added
prose comments under CONTRIBUTING.md. TypeScript output with
removeComments:true is byte-identical for all seven changed TypeScript
files; 20 existing command, runtime and bundle tests pass after cleanup.
- Serving enrollment, full normal-image migration, empty-home
restoration and active-agent release handoffs remain separate acceptance
gates.

## Risks

- Preparation still consumes CPU, disk and storage requests. It uses one
transfer and at most two database connections. Check memory headroom for
a separate operator process.
- A task can gain work during upload. The final fence rejects that
publication and retains the previous current object.
- Deferred sources remain migration obligations. Preparation never
permits detaching the volume.
- Ordinary backup callers do not opt into the new preparation constraint
and keep their existing behavior.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Codex, exact model ID `gpt-6.1-sol`. Used for reasoning,
code editing, shell tools and test execution. The runtime does not
expose its context-window size.
