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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Builds on merged #18826 and #18835.

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, and code
execution. This session does not expose a more specific serving model ID
or context-window size.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

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

**Deployment mode**

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 0a1e4c3d0f fix(workspaces): retry pristine remote setup timeouts (#18852)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A remote task needs a workspace before its model can start.
> - Fresh workspace preparation can reach its transport deadline.
> - Failure handling records that timeout as a generic setup failure and
stops the task.
> - An unpublished workspace has no saved task work to repeat.
> - This change routes that narrow failure through the existing bounded
retry scheduler.
> - Saved work, retained executions, and normal admission gates keep
their existing protection.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18827, which preserves remote timeout diagnostics. This change
builds on that merged repair. Related #16727 concerns controller-managed
clones and optional partial clones; this change keeps remote clone
contents and deadlines unchanged.

**What happened?**

A fresh remote workspace reached its 300-second command limit before
model execution. The task then stopped with `setup_failed` and no
scheduled continuation. A separate full clone completed in 137 seconds
on a disposable Daytona sandbox. The original delay remains unexplained.
This change repairs the missing recovery path; it does not claim to
remove the underlying delay.

**Expected behavior**

A fresh, unpublished workspace preparation timeout can use the existing
two automatic retries. Retry scheduling remains durable and company
scoped. Stop, pause, dependencies, budgets, task ownership, saved work,
and retained native execution must still prevent unsafe work.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start preparation for a fresh remote workspace with no saved version
or published allocation.
2. Make its initial directory/clone command return a transport timeout.
3. Observe that the base code records a generic setup failure without
bounded recovery.
4. With this change, the owner validates current workspace authority and
preserves a specific bootstrap failure for the normal retry scheduler.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base: `e0276e0166`, including #18827.

**Deployment mode**

Native Paperclip Runner with sandbox workspace storage. Verification
uses real PostgreSQL, filesystem commands, and a separate live Daytona
transport probe.

## What Changed

- Recognize only the initial preparation timeout while the same company,
writer, and epoch still own a pristine workspace.
- Keep restore, additional repository, provisioning, save, changed
ownership, dirty workspace, and retained native execution failures
outside this recovery policy.
- Persist the typed failure before using the existing retry scheduler,
admission gates, and attempt budget.
- After successful terminal lease cleanup, reclaim an unpublished
bootstrap-only reservation even when a provider returns no stop receipt.
Preserve receipt requirements for saved/published work, unknown
execution, and native identities; do not synthesize termination
evidence.
- Prevent generic recovery from granting another budget after
exhaustion. Keep a specific recovery notice.
- Add regressions for persistence, concurrent scheduling, restart,
exhaustion, Stop, pause, dependencies, fresh allocation, lost replies,
and saved output after cold restoration.
- Document the recovery contract.

## Verification

- Red: the real-PostgreSQL workspace regression first failed because the
timeout had no recovery classification. The completion regression then
failed because it became `setup_failed`. A retained-native negative
failed before the admission guard. The review follow-up reproduced a
failed successor reservation after production lease release returned
void.
- Green: all 127 transport/archive/real-PostgreSQL workspace cases pass
after the review repair. All 12 receipt/void handoff cases pass against
the final query. The 141 complete completion/retry/recovery cases and
the fresh-allocation selection case pass. Safety cases cover concurrent
scheduling across restart, the two-attempt cap, Stop/pause/dependency
gates, native identities, saved/published files, active leases, failed
cleanup, and cold-restored output.
- `node scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs` and `pnpm build` pass at
`ba96cff771707415e4a5e893c8b3a97499ead25b`. `git diff --check` and the
module-boundary check pass. The full local test wrapper completed all
1,835 chat cases across six partitions, then was interrupted during its
serial general-server phase after the complete current-head CI suite
passed. Its interrupted run is not a full local-suite pass; its log is
retained. The owned process tree and database children exited.
- The [complete GitHub Actions
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41718108375)
is successful at this exact head, including all server/workspace/chat
partitions, all nine serialized groups, all eight browser shards, build,
typecheck, native Runner, package, Rust, and release-policy checks. The
first Rust worker shut down during cache restore before tests; one retry
passed without source changes. Expected Storybook skips remain skips.
- Earlier failures remain accounted for: the first typecheck found two
incomplete process-result fixtures, now corrected. An intermediate
completion run exposed a test double that returned no promise and a
teardown timeout; the complete 141-case suites subsequently passed. The
first-head CI had four worker shutdowns and one worker communication
loss. A three-second monitor settlement wait failed in CI and locally,
then all 21 cases passed unchanged at base and head. An earlier CI retry
found a real-process history adoption assertion failure; that exact case
passed locally at base and head. Both server groups pass in final-head
CI. These timing causes remain unknown. [Earlier CI
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41713712522).
- Live supporting evidence: unchanged production preparation code
completed a full repository clone in 137 seconds using Daytona SDK
0.203.0, Node 24.22.2, Git 2.39.5, and Linux x86_64, with 1 CPU, 1 GiB
memory, and 1 GiB disk. The approved diagnostic account could not access
the original fleet snapshot, so the probe used public
`node:24-bookworm`. Both probe allocations were deleted and absence
verified. Full task acceptance at the fixed revision remains unverified:
the original fleet snapshot and an explicitly configured disposable
Codex subscription fixture were unavailable. No CLI login or hosted
subscription was copied.
- Greptile is 5/5 at the final head with no actionable findings. The
Paperclip review finding is repaired, replied to, and resolved. The
separate **Paperclip Review** check remains queued. Its task failed
workspace export after publishing the first assessment; the staging
service was then observed showing a workspace recovery page after an
update failure. Subsequent browser rechecks timed out, including a fresh
tab, so the normal recovery control could not be used. Reconcile that
existing export after service access returns, then let the saved
current-head review request run. That external review is the remaining
check; this PR is not yet fully green.
- The original hosted task was last verified blocked. This PR has not
been deployed and the task has not been retried by this work.

Reviewers can run `pnpm test:run`, `node
scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`, and `pnpm build`. The
remote-workspace integration suite additionally needs an owned
disposable PostgreSQL database named `remote_workspace_*test` through
`PAPERCLIP_REMOTE_WORKSPACE_TEST_DATABASE_URL`; otherwise that suite is
skipped.

## Risks

Each retry keeps the existing preparation deadline, so persistent slow
clones can consume the bounded budget before intervention. A retry
receives fresh allocation admission; it does not replay the command
against the old allocation. The workspace owner checks persisted
authority before classifying the failure, and normal admission still
rechecks that authority. Historical generic setup failures do not gain
automatic replay. No database migration, provider-pack update, model
fallback, credential change, or deployment is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser tools. The host does not expose a more specific
serving model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 1f55073f96 fix(cursor-cloud): support API-only controllers on managed stacks (#18310)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents at work.
> - Cursor Cloud hosts execution behind its API.
> - Product setup still expected a Paperclip Computer.
> - Managed-only tenants therefore rejected valid setup.
> - This admits the validated API-owned controller.
> - Authority, Stop proof, budgets and cleanup remain enforced.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18068 and #18069; both dependencies have merged.

**What happened?**

Managed-only setup still requested a Computer. Live tests exposed
missing Cursor Stop proof and duplicate replay.

**Expected behavior**

Use Cursor’s API controller. Verify provider/controller termination and
replay each log identity once.

**Steps to reproduce**

Enable native Runner/managed-only. Configure Cursor model/repository/key
without a Computer, then Test, finish setup, run and Stop.

## What Changed

- Derive API-only placement from validated native Cursor configuration;
reject placement/command/workspace/home overrides and keep
Kubernetes-only execution closed.
- Skip Computers/checkout/workspace realization. Keep scoped tools,
completion, private staging, budgets, leases and recovery. Persist
placement; reject contradictions.
- Align Cloud cards, Test, Save and Finish setup; hold unready drafts.
Legacy keeps its Computer, credential and policy checks.
- Verify Stop from exact API ownership, audited intent,
provider-terminal proof, no Computer/process ownership and controller
retirement. Recheck immediate/deferred retirement; wake existing
recovery on durable evidence.
- Clear warnings when the actual stopped target later has authoritative
confirmation. Keep missing/other-run negatives and the existing
predicate.
- Publish safe status refresh after full-proof ACK. Retain bounded
native/physical cancellation history; add no poller or weaker proof
path.

## Verification

Core merged as `3910352c923a`; Product merged as `27d35314be8e`. Public
branch `5f86eb66b081` has tree `67344151d303`. Its exact-head Greptile
summary is 5/5; the fresh audit found zero unresolved threads and
complete pagination. The controlled workspace retry and required summary
passed. All 59 current-head contexts are terminal and clean. Prior
green-36 evidence keeps its identity.

[Current
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41680511731)
first failed workspaces-a 1/2: the CLI company-import/export beforeAll
30-second runtime-info/child-PID/HTTP readiness wait expired. All 431 UI
files/4,714 tests and 285 other CLI tests passed (one skip). The cause
remains UNKNOWN. Child output records startup recovery complete, but
buffered CI prefixes do not establish its relation to the waiter
deadline; runtime-file/PID/last-health state was not captured. Both
unchanged local probes were RED. The second observed dependency
preflight still pending at the deadline; observer overhead was not
quantified. Neither proves the CI cause. After all functional jobs
finished, only the queued metadata summary was cancelled; the other 48
records stayed unchanged. Attempt 1 retains 46 successes, the original
failure, one skip and the cancelled summary. One same-head debug retry
was admitted at 18:42 UTC on November 3. Its workspace job passed at
19:23 UTC on the same checkout: UI 431 files/4,714 tests and CLI 33
files/286 tests, including company import/export. Test caching was
disabled. The new `ci / verify` summary passed; workflow attempt 2
completed SUCCESS. Required `ci / e2e` also passed. The final check at
19:53 UTC on November 3 found all 59 current-head contexts terminal and
clean: zero pending and zero failing. The 47 inherited completed/skipped
rows are not new executions. No code, assertion or timeout changed;
success does not explain the original failure or erase the local REDs.

CI checkout is `1ea9d8608ced`/tree `78cb1ec13d59` (parents
`2e37c73c05fe`, 5f86); both workflows use 2e37. Its 20 extra paths add
low-memory build/Rust task-memory. Scripts cohere; later matrix changes
only labels, with no newer debug-cache steps. Static audit found no
blocker. Supported API arguments omit the memory flag: no default
monitor/instruction changes. Flagged external launchers can change
Cursor instructions/digests and remain unqualified.

The merge added 41 master-identical paths, retained the green-36 inbox
hunk and found UI fixtures matching upstream. Startup/backup, recovery
projection, sleep diagnostics and binary backup change production.
Static audit found eight Stop/ACK owner blobs and 37 sleep-work SQL
templates unchanged, with sleep fences/single-flight accounting intact.
Exact precommit tree: 416/416 across eight server files, binary backup
1/1, server types PASS; repeated scopes are not summed.

The deferred-retirement P1 reproduced three real-DB/owned-process
failures; missing proof stayed unverified. Recovery passed 47 process
cases/33 proof negatives. Warning repair binds actual targets to
same-run proof. Validation passed 729 scoped UI cases, a separate
359-case thread run, 111 backend cases (84 CAS, 6 assembled, 21
activity/privacy), types/tokens. Proof validators/predicate are
unchanged; no new poller or increased timeout.

The d8d3 attempt stays FAILED: 45 passes, two workspaces-a failures,
derived verify failure and one skip. Both shards shared three failures:
two successful mocks omitted the account guard’s required userId. The
two-line fixture repair changed no guard, assertion or timeout. Three
failures reproduced; 54 access/auth tests then passed, including
account-change/denial negatives, plus UI types/tokens.

The 69285 attempt stays FAILED: 49 jobs, 46 passed, serialized shard 9
failed, its verify aggregate failed and one selection job skipped. The
shard passed 575/576 cases. Its aborted-snapshot case expected nine
computes but saw eight: a final HTTP 200 coalesced while seven ordinary
reads had not proved the aborted compute settled. Earlier CI and the
unmodified local baseline passed with a miss; no local RED is claimed.
The repair awaits the snapshot, allows exactly one extra GET if
coalesced, then requires a miss and retains nine computes/all HTTP429
assertions. No production code, hook, loop, sleep or timeout changed.
Six inbox and seven cache/admission cases passed locally, plus server
types; 30 unrelated cases were filtered. Green 36 passed 576/576 without
taking the extra-GET branch; local runs also missed that schedule.
Current CI event merge 1ea9 now passed 576/576 and naturally exercised
the former failure: coalesced (count 2, 1ms), then exactly one fresh
miss (count 1, 16ms), with strict nine-compute/HTTP429 assertions
intact. No instrumentation or retry was added.

Earlier compatibility passed scoped remote/inbox, routine, API-placement
and UI tests, plus types/migrations/snapshots/maps/tokens. The 89-path
adoption restored fleet routing without workflow overrides or added
skips. Each result retains its source identity.

Live qualification remains actual `9af1a5de42a2`: unchanged Artifact
grader PASSED 17/17 and active-Stop grader PASSED 21/21. All three
provider test resources were deleted canonically with GET404;
post-delete download returned the exact 27 bytes. Histories stayed
stable (Artifact 121 and Stop 67 canonical identities), with 21 company
runs, zero active work and no accounting/cancellation/reservation debt
or integrity findings. Saved settings reopened; no-prompt Test/Linux
admission passed with `claude-sonnet-4-5`. No new Save is claimed.

The first Stop sampling case stays FAILED on a 10.373-second gap.
Unchanged retry kept all 24 samples: 35.076 seconds quiet, maximum gap
4.584 seconds, plus a separate CANCELLED/artifact-absent read after 180
seconds. Initial grading rejected locator spelling before functional
checks; metadata changed only after same-file/inode/byte proof, with raw
evidence/oracles unchanged. Original Question/Plan/reconnect and
historical deleted-artifact results keep their identities.

Git trees verified 11 history-only conflicts and six earlier mainline
paths. Hosted 9af to the public BRANCH differs in 222 paths; 13,500
other mode/blob leaves match. Runner runtime implementations and six
observer/driver pins match 9af on that branch only; inherited
`drivers/acpx/runtime-host.test.ts` differs. No all-Runner/src,
CI/latest-master runtime or image equality is claimed. Later static
audits through `8ab89f41e499` found no concrete API-only blocker. That
base adds completed-history sleep proofs and an MCP cleanup migration;
protected Stop/ACK owners are unchanged. These later changes are outside
this CI and have no live qualification here. Host duplicate-card and
later recovery/UI repairs retain separate proof, not deployed 9af
identity. Direct-key coverage requires absent aiConnection; API-only
placement skips inherited remote-workspace disk-full paths, and
config-read gates match their parent.

Other retained failures: stale fixture 132/133; E8 48/135 with 87
reset-hook failures; Mac 17 SQL failures/skips;
title/startup/custody/Stop/deletion unknown causes and bounded
recoveries; superseded warning/50 duplicate identities; pre-repair
ACK/Core CI failures. Fixture RED/GREEN passed 7/7 browser and 121/121
shutdown tests with a failing broken-unsubscribe control; stable WSP
wrapper passed 128 after physical teardown failure. No full local-suite
pass is inferred. All paid attempts remain recorded; vendor dollar cost
is UNKNOWN.

## Risks

Experimental: Cursor independently acknowledges neither the effective
model nor instruction digest before the first prompt. Explicit values
are submitted and behavior checked live; unpriced provider dollar cost
stays UNKNOWN.

The placement exception applies only to validated native Cursor API
execution. Other local work remains denied under managed-only policy.
Missing/stale Stop or cleanup proof stays pending; damaged archives
remain failed. Explicit Legacy keeps its existing policy owners.

OpenAI Codex/GPT-6 family: tools, execution, browser checks, delegated
review. API ID/context window unavailable.

DottaandPaperclip e0c6992426 fix(heartbeat): prevent saved input starvation during queue reloads (#18819)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Accepted messages and task Retry requests use durable wake receipts.
> - The recovery worker loads receipts in pages of 100 and checks
batches of 25.
> - Company activity can reload those pages before the pending batch
drains.
> - Reloads reset ready receipts' dispatch times and can repeatedly
favor receipts already checked.
> - This pull request preserves the priority of unchecked ready receipts
so saved input can reach normal admission.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Saved input can remain deferred after the preceding run finishes.
Repeated company eligibility changes reset the dispatch times of pending
receipts during paginated reconstruction. A PostgreSQL regression checks
only 75 of 178 receipts on the original code despite twelve eligibility
changes.

**Expected behavior**

Each ready receipt must reach its admission check. Existing wait
deadlines, retry backoffs, authorization, and execution gates must still
apply.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Seed more than one page of deferred receipts.
2. Keep those receipts pending after their checks.
3. Send company eligibility notifications between scheduler passes.
4. Check that every receipt is reconsidered, including receipts later in
the backlog.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `367f29478d`.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source with PostgreSQL. The defect occurs before provider
execution.

Related: #10195 reports a similar starvation symptom in a different
promotion loop. #18621 added saved-input Retry after a successful run.
This change fixes fairness in the deferred-receipt worker.

## What Changed

- Add an optional entry merge callback to scoped deadline
reconstruction.
- Use it in the deferred-receipt worker to retain unread ready receipts'
priority while refreshing their state.
- Place receipts whose wait has expired into the ready queue during
reconstruction.
- Keep real wait, claim, and dispatch deadlines authoritative.
- Add a paginated starvation regression, real process dispatch coverage,
and GitHub lock-collision recovery coverage.
- Document the recovery fairness rule.

## Verification

- The PostgreSQL starvation regression checks only 75 of 178 receipts
before the fix. It checks all 178 afterward, both with ordinary receipts
and with expired execution waits.
- Seven focused scheduler cases pass, including moved interrupt grace,
moved native error deadline, fresh claim/wait deadlines, and
unchanged-gate grace.
- GitHub endpoint lock-collision recovery, retained board authority,
HTTP Retry, and five current admission-gate cases pass.
- Real process acceptance passes on the final code: task Retry crosses
the repeatedly invalidated backlog, reconstructs its persisted queued
run after a worker restart, saves `receipt-proof` in run output, and has
one successor for the Retry receipt. The test holds executor capacity
while advancing queue time, then starts fresh workers at PostgreSQL time
before releasing a real process lease. The defect is in admission
scheduling before provider execution; this acceptance uses PostgreSQL
and a local process adapter.
- The full workspace build and typecheck (`node
scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`) pass locally. The affected worker
suites pass 52 of 53 cases together; the existing native multi-company
batch case times out in that combined run and passes in isolation
without code changes. All new regression and acceptance cases pass.
- Local `pnpm test:run` stops in its first chat shard on three 15-second
timeouts (Teams long native HTTP picture delivery, direct final-response
materialization, and contended inbound notices). All three pass in
isolation without code changes. Later full-suite groups did not run
locally after that shard failure.
- [The full GitHub Actions matrix
passes](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41697489374)
on `ac91df2cc6db6c77529d923177b375b8c92efd45`, including all
general-test, serialized-server, browser, build, and typecheck jobs.
Server shard 8 initially failed an upstream process-adoption test and
passed its one rerun without code changes.
- [Greptile is
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18819#issuecomment-6612091535)
on the same current head, with no actionable findings or unresolved
review threads. The separate Paperclip Review check is neutral; its
previous request was bound to an older commit.

Focused command:

```sh
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/deferred-execution-receipt-work.test.ts server/src/__tests__/scoped-deadline-work.test.ts
```

## Risks

- Ready receipt order changes during repeated reconstruction. Admission
still reads current durable state.
- A ready receipt must not inherit an obsolete priority after it
acquires a future deadline. The merge applies only when both pending and
loaded entries are immediate. Deadline safety tests cover that boundary.
- The merge callback is optional. Other scoped workers retain their
current reconstruction behavior.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` in Codex, max reasoning effort, with tool use and
local code execution. The runtime does not expose the context-window
size.

DottaandPaperclip 4a38ff9c92 fix(ci): make Cloud readiness reruns and fixtures reliable (#18823)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and preserves task state.
> - Cloud readiness verifies an exact source revision before release.
> - Its workspace tests must wait for execution and database cleanup to finish.
> - Two attempts hit the same ten-second polling limit and read a running row.
> - The second attempt also lost AWS runners and exceeded a fixture cleanup limit.
> - This pull request waits for owned execution, bounds client shutdown, and gives verification reruns an independent runner pool.
> - Assertions, source identity and required verification gates stay in place.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

[Cloud readiness run 41684102136](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41684102136) failed twice on master `367f29478d14003cc5c0f161b7ce8f3164993634`.

Attempt 1 failed `heartbeat-workspace-busy.test.ts:473`: expected `succeeded`, received `running`. Attempt 2 failed the same helper in the inherited-workspace resume case at line 744. The helper polls for ten seconds, then returns the active row as if the wait finished.

Attempt 2 also exceeded the 30-second `workspace-preparation.test.ts` teardown limit. Its client close had no deadline, and database plus directory cleanup shared the default hook budget despite the fixture's existing 90-second startup budget.

Other attempt-2 failures show runner shutdown or lost communication. Several shutdown signals arrived at 18:05:17 UTC. Read-only AWS inspection confirms that all eight infrastructure-failed instances carry `runs-on-workflow-job-interrupted=true`. Five have explicit `Server.SpotInstanceTermination` reasons, including the server-1 runner that lost communication. Three were terminated through the fleet's shutdown path. CloudTrail records the Rust runner's interruption tag at 18:03:37 UTC and its termination by the RunsOn fleet role at 18:05:31 UTC, despite EC2 showing a user-initiated termination. Repeating the entire workflow reused the same Spot fleet.

**Expected behavior**

Wait for owned heartbeat execution before reading final state or scheduled retries. Bound database-client shutdown and allow the fixture's cleanup cost class to finish. Rerun verification on GitHub-hosted runners after an interrupted fleet attempt. Preserve all checks and report prior failures.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Delay the test adapter beyond the helper's ten-second polling window.
2. Invoke the ordinary local shared-workspace run or resume the deferred sandbox run.
3. Observe the old helper return `running` before the execution completes.
4. Evaluate the old runner expressions with `github.run_attempt = 2`; they still choose the interrupted AWS pool.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base: `367f29478d14003cc5c0f161b7ce8f3164993634`.

**Deployment mode**

GitHub Actions Cloud readiness, with disposable PostgreSQL fixtures.

Related: #11293 fixed the earlier gap between cancellation and retry-row insertion. This change waits for the complete execution instead. Duplicate searches covered the workspace test, retention fixture and runner shutdown reports.

## What Changed

- Replace both workspace-test polling helpers with the existing heartbeat completion barrier. Keep final status, retry and coordination assertions.
- Bound workspace-preparation client shutdown to one second. Apply the existing embedded-PostgreSQL fixture budget to its teardown.
- Use AWS only for the first exact-source attempt. Route later verification, chaos and cloud-migrator planning/build attempts to GitHub-hosted runners. The publisher keeps its existing routing. The final branch also incorporates upstream #18821's CODEOWNER routing fix.
- Add runner-expression coverage for numeric, string, missing and later attempt values. Document retry routing.

## Verification

- The original workflow's failed assertions and interrupted jobs remain linked above. A local two-suite run also passed all 157 assertions and failed only the original 30-second teardown hook.
- All 341 workflow contracts pass. After the master synchronization, all 347 routing and CI-planner controls pass. Actionlint passes for the three changed workflows.
- A matched delayed-adapter comparison uses disposable PostgreSQL 17 databases, the same 11-second adapter delay, and the same 90-second experimental outer budget. The old helper fails with `running`; the completion barrier passes. Production test deadlines stay unchanged.
- Earlier experiments hit a 30-second experimental outer limit and the macOS host's shared-memory limit during native database startup. The completed comparison uses task-owned databases on an existing test server. Those earlier attempts are not counted as passes.
- All 31 workspace-busy cases pass with normal test deadlines. The 126-case workspace fixture also passes with its 90-second teardown budget.
- Final-head cleanup measurements: main client close 7 ms, owned database cleanup 20,938 ms, and workspace-home removal 826 ms. A measured fixture held 124,494 PostgreSQL files (208 MiB) after repeated table resets. The measured database cleanup alone consumes most of the old 30-second hook budget. The separate baseline reproduced a timeout at that hook; the fixture now uses its established 90-second cost class.
- Repository typecheck and build pass on synchronized head `2aceb3abd144a569efddabed3b7e0550ea23ceb2`.
- All 157 focused cases pass on the synchronized branch, including complete PostgreSQL 18 fixture shutdown. [Full hosted CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41697804471) passes on the final head, including the required verification and E2E aggregates, all server/chat/workspace groups, Runner lanes and all eight browser shards. The separate GitHub quality-review workflow also passes. All 60 reported checks are terminal: 54 pass, three are informational neutral results, and three are expected skips. There are no failures or pending checks. The complete local `pnpm test:run` command was not run; targeted fixtures already encountered this host's shared-memory limit. Hosted CI supplies the full Vitest and browser matrix.
- Greptile and Paperclip Review both give synchronized head `2aceb3abd144a569efddabed3b7e0550ea23ceb2` 5/5. There are no open review threads.
- Module-boundary and whitespace checks pass.

## Risks

- Hosted reruns can have different cache hit rates and queue times. They execute the same source and verification commands.
- The first attempt retains the existing AWS Spot fleet policy. AWS evidence establishes several interruption-triggered failures; later verification attempts use an independent pool. This does not change the fleet's external capacity policy.
- The completion barrier waits for owned background execution. A hung execution still fails the test's outer deadline.
- The larger teardown budget remains finite. PostgreSQL's bounded stop protocol and cleanup errors still fail the hook.
- No production execution, database schema or provider contract changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository inspection, code edits and test execution. The runtime does not expose the exact serving model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 367f29478d fix(recovery): preserve the bound remote writer before continuation (#18803)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and preserves task files.
> - A remote workspace records the exact run that owns its unsaved
files.
> - A later setup failure can become the latest task run without owning
those files.
> - Retry only inspected that latest run, so the original writer had no
file-recovery owner.
> - A released reusable source also failed the legacy retention rule.
> - This change registers the bound writer, saves its files, and then
admits the saved user request once.
> - Existing stop, ownership, approval and execution-evidence checks
remain effective.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native run prepared a remote workspace and failed before finalization.
Its sandbox stopped with a dedicated stop receipt. The workspace stayed
dirty and retained that run as its writer. A later setup failure became
the latest task run. Retry inspected the newer run and left the original
file obligation unregistered. New attempts failed at the writer fence.

Registration alone was insufficient. After file recovery, continuation
still required the Retry source to be one of the older recovery sources.
A newer pre-provider failure did not satisfy that check. Workspace
selection could also choose a fresh directory instead of the recovered
files.

**Expected behavior**

Find the writer through the task's current workspace binding. Register
only its exact prepared source. Preserve the released lease and its stop
receipts. Save the files before continuation. Independently prove that a
newer setup failure never dispatched work. Select the verified saved
workspace and admit the Retry once.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Fail a native run with a prepared remote workspace and a released
reusable sandbox.
2. Keep matching dedicated stop receipts and the workspace's dirty
writer authority.
3. Record a newer pre-provider setup failure for the same task.
4. Request Retry. Before the fix, no file-maintenance record owns the
actual writer.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced before production edits on master `f7ad1dc7ca`. The branch
was rebased on master `adb49a44346849e751548b2fb640693dbfad4b6f`.

**Deployment mode**

Authenticated hosted execution with Paperclip Runner and remote
workspace storage.

Companion: #18798 (now merged upstream) fixes a pre-existing inbox test
synchronization race. Its test-only commit
`110aa88489cad926a451c972ad731ede469347c1` is cherry-picked here with
attribution so this PR can run the complete CI matrix.

Related: #17800 registers missing preservation for the selected source
run. #18678 holds unfinished remote exports. #18718 repairs a prior
warm-controller projection failure. #17916 addresses a separate legacy
warm-copyback policy case.

## What Changed

- Discover the failed writer through the company-scoped task/workspace
binding during Retry and authenticated message admission.
- Reuse the exact prepared-source validator for released remote
workspaces. Registration changes neither the lease policy nor its stop
receipts. Physical recovery retains its full allocation checks.
- Check a newer failed preparation separately before allowing an older,
repaired source to release continuation. Provider events, leases,
results and execution ownership remain disqualifying evidence.
- Select the bound saved workspace through the continuation's verified
repair receipt.
- Add PostgreSQL safety cases and an HTTP Retry workflow with real file
capture and saved-copy reads. Document the execution contract.
- Reuse #18798's completion barrier for the existing inbox cancellation
test; preserve its eight-slot limit, rejection and coalescing
assertions.

## Verification

- RED before production edits: the exact stopped writer has no
`workspaceRestoreRecovery` after Retry. Six unsafe-source controls pass
on the baseline.
- GREEN: the expanded Retry/message/preview selection passes 17 cases.
All 627 tests in the five affected recovery suites pass on recovery
commit `b572304f772d236b8a8bdf095e13e651d808f41c`, including Stop,
ownership, saved messages and duplicate Retry.
- The HTTP workflow registers maintenance, keeps execution held before
save, reads back the saved file bytes, and admits exactly one
continuation with `resume_preserved_workspace`. A registration-only
repair first failed after save because it did not reconcile the newer
Retry source. The incident-shaped pair passes with an independent active
stranded-task action present.
- Greptile identified the path where the newer setup failure already
owns a reconciliation hold. Its new regression failed before the
correction (saved files, zero queued continuations); the
contradictory-dispatch control passed. All four HTTP variants pass after
the correction, covering both hold shapes and both dispatch-evidence
controls.
- Repository typecheck and build passed. Server typecheck and build also
passed after the recovery changes. Module-boundary and whitespace checks
pass.
- The full local Vitest command failed in the GitHub fast-response
acknowledgement test (`delivery_unknown`: one response write instead of
zero). That isolated case passes on this branch and unchanged master;
the original full-run cause remains unestablished. A sibling run passed
199 test cases but timed out in workspace-suite database cleanup.
Unchanged master also passed all 126 workspace cases and timed out in
the same cleanup hook; all five acknowledgement outcomes passed in that
baseline comparison. These local failures remain recorded rather than
being reported as suite passes.
- The first hosted matrix failed the pre-existing inbox cancellation
assertion (expected nine computes, saw eight). The same assertion failed
in [master
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41664339150/job/126015526840)
and reproduced locally before applying #18798's existing repair. All six
inbox HTTP/database cases pass after that repair. Final head
`7f2fafcbace74cb1ad8ea68c8375a69b42ed30d9` adds only that attributed
test change to the verified recovery code.
- [Final hosted
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41677310377)
passes on head `7f2fafcbace74cb1ad8ea68c8375a69b42ed30d9`, including `ci
/ verify`, `ci / e2e`, typecheck, build, every server/chat/workspace
group, Runner checks and all eight browser shards. There are 54
successful check results, two informational neutral results and three
skipped results, with no pending or failing results.
- Greptile and the Paperclip reviewer both report 5/5 for that final
head; no review threads remain open. The Paperclip review check is
informational (`neutral`) and records its local-testing limitations.
- The file workflow uses real PostgreSQL, subprocess file capture,
encrypted saved objects and production recovery code. Provider
resume/stop calls are simulated at the environment driver boundary. This
does not prove a live Daytona or Codex recovery. No deployment or
original-task retry is claimed.

## Risks

- File-maintenance discovery must not authorize another executor.
Existing writer, coordinator and physical allocation checks still own
that decision.
- A false bootstrap summary cannot prove that a newer run never
executed. The new path also requires its immutable native-adapter claim,
unresolved preparation state, absent
coordinator/process/session/lease/result evidence, and no dispatch
events.
- Additional database reads run only during explicit task admission or
Retry strategy selection. They are company/task scoped and add no
polling loop. The saved-writer query returns one matching snapshot and
omits prompt bodies.
- No schema, credential, provider profile or deployment setting changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository inspection, code
execution and test tools. The runtime does not expose the exact serving
model ID or context-window size.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A remote task with a selected Git-backed project and another mentioned
Git-backed project failed before provider execution. It reported
`remote_workspace_readonly_sources_unsupported`. Neither project had a
read-only setting. The task notice showed only that the attempt failed.

**Expected behavior**

Each attached repository should be writable inside the task workspace.
This should preserve source access checks and saved work. A workspace
validation failure should explain its cause on the task page.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Configure remote workspace storage and a native sandbox environment.
2. Select a Git-backed project for a task.
3. Mention another authorized Git-backed project in the task.
4. Start the task. Preparation rejects the additional source before it
starts the provider.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against `dc9f387edc`, before this change.

**Deployment mode**

Managed remote workspace storage. Local regression checks use disposable
PostgreSQL and independent filesystem processes.

Related merged work: Refs #18403 and #18504. Those changes established
remote storage and metadata-only references. They still reject
configured cross-project repositories. No duplicate writable-repository
repair was found. Refs #18774 for the test-only retention-fixture repair
reused to unblock CI.

## What Changed

- Add every configured Git repository of an authorized referenced
project to `.paperclip-repositories/` as an editable task copy.
- Retain saved paths, refs, pins and files. Recheck retained project
access and source trust. Keep explicit read-only, local-source import
and remote feature gates.
- Keep committed snapshot repository coverage separate from later
requests. Honor configured default refs, resolve remote branch names,
and publish secondary checkouts only after checkout succeeds. Share
configured-ref resolution between root and attached-repository scripts.
- Include redacted workspace validation messages in the task
interruption projection and existing failure notice. Preserve Retry
permissions and render messages as plain text. Explain retained-folder
access and trust denials while preserving the dedicated low-trust
project-access path.
- Add source, authorization, redaction, UI and save/restore regressions.
Update the implementation contract and workspace maps.
- Reuse the reviewed test-only repair from #18774. Batch the
shared-workspace history fixture, verify its complete privacy-source
map, and drain owned test bodies before cleanup. Production retention
behavior is unchanged.

## Verification

- Red before repair: four source-resolution cases failed with the
reported read-only error. The task-error projection test also failed
because it omitted the cause.
- Green: 49 source and transport tests, 16 task projection and redaction
tests, and 10 UI tests. The assembled preparation check passes. All 48
remote workspace lifecycle tests pass. The full preparation suite passed
all 126 assertions but its cleanup hook exceeded 30 seconds. The
unchanged base reproduces the same cleanup timeout with all 126
assertions passing. The focused preparation check finishes cleanly.
- The real PostgreSQL/Git lifecycle checks cover both first-turn and
later project attachments. They verify the configured release branch,
saved edits, replacement allocations, unchanged source folders,
committed archive contents, and released writers.
- Review regressions were red before repair: the default ref became
null, later attachment failed during restore, non-default remote branch
checkout failed, and invalid secondary refs left partial checkouts. They
now pass.
- The local browser shows the workspace validation explanation and Retry
action. The fixture uses a saved failed run; this proves the error
display, not a successful live sandbox run.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass. Map, module-boundary and
token checks pass.
- A local two-turn acceptance probe repeated at `17ed67eaa7` used real
Codex CLI 0.165.0, `gpt-6-astra`, and `xhigh` effort. Codex wrote files
in both task repositories. The services saved them, removed the first
allocation and its Git sources, restored another allocation, and Codex
read the saved files and wrote a follow-up in both folders. This uses
the real source resolver and persistence services with a local
command-runner stand-in for sandbox transport. It does not qualify
Daytona, managed subscription forwarding, or the original task. The
first probe waited for stdin; closing the test harness pipe fixed that
setup error before provider work.
- `pnpm test:run` passed the first chat shard, then failed one chat
response concurrency assertion in the second shard. That case passes in
isolation on this head. The same isolated chat case passes on the
unchanged base. Both corresponding unchanged-base chat shards also pass
(351 and 324 tests). The cause of the earlier wider-suite chat failure
is not established. The preparation cleanup timeout and chat failure
remain part of this record.
- CI at `17ed67eaa7`: all other verification jobs passed. Browser shard
6 initially reported a request callback from the preceding test after
teardown; its single unchanged-code retry passed. Server shard 10 timed
out the 2,100-row retention confirmation fixture at 15 seconds on both
attempts. That exact case passes locally, but the repeated CI failure
required a repair. Its setup repeatedly rebuilt a shared-workspace
privacy map. The logs and failures remain part of this record.
- Reused the test-only repair from #18774 without changing its source
file. At `ab774e9418`, all 54 retention tests and all 25 ordinary
production privacy tests pass locally (79 total). Full CI
[41650626903](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41650626903)
passed on that commit, and its exact-head Greptile review was 5/5. The
fixture preserves its 2,100 rows, query-bound assertions, privacy-source
map, and completed-history test deadlines.
- The additional review identified retained-source access/trust denials
that still bypassed the workspace explanation. Real-resolver regressions
reproduced both plain-403 failures before the correction. Both now yield
a safe workspace validation explanation, while the dedicated low-trust
denial and saved workspace remain unchanged. The optional duplicate
ref-resolution block is also consolidated.
- Final review corrections: 65 source, transport and error-projection
tests passed, followed by all 48 lifecycle cases against an owned
disposable PostgreSQL database (113 total). The initial combined command
skipped the explicitly gated lifecycle suite; the subsequent dedicated
invocation enabled and passed all 48. Full workspace typecheck and build
pass. The first standalone lifecycle launcher lacked the repository
TypeScript loader; rerunning with that loader resolved its import setup
error. At previous head `7be02ea09c4ac76df560e8b517050cdf398f33f0`, full
CI [41654422329, attempt
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41654422329/attempts/2)
passed, Greptile is 5/5 on that exact head, and all review threads are
resolved. The first attempt timed out the unchanged voice-session
report/history case at 15 seconds; 3,027 cases in its shard passed. That
exact case passed locally, then its single unchanged-code shard retry
passed. The wider-suite timeout cause remains unproven. The completed
Paperclip advisory check is neutral; its earlier findings are corrected.
No staging deployment or original-task recovery is claimed.

- Master advanced while checks ran, producing conflicts in two adjacent
test additions. Merged `27d35314be` into this branch as
`d5c8d552939c86056abf8fe10833881b2ade41a4`, preserving both
workspace-error tests and the audited Stop/receipt tests. Kept workspace
maps to minimal corrections under the updated map rule. All 82 source,
transport and interruption cases, all 48 real-database save/restore
lifecycle cases, full typecheck, build, and map checks pass locally on
the combined code. Current-head [CI
41660719214](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41660719214)
and Greptile are pending; the earlier verified head has not been merged.

## Risks

- Additional remote project repositories are now editable task copies.
Shared source folders and upstream push permissions do not change.
- Snapshot coverage uses existing workspace metadata. Older workspaces
capture their previous inventory at reservation; successful save
publication advances coverage and snapshot identity in one transaction.
No SQL migration is needed.
- A retained copy can contain files from a project that is no longer
mentioned. Preparation rechecks that project's current access and trust
policy before reuse.
- Explicit read-only descriptors still fail. Source-less projects remain
metadata-only. Local folders still require import. No migration or
provider-pack update is needed.
- Error display reads only workspace validation errors. The existing
run-secret registry and username censor run before display truncation. A
redaction failure omits the explanation.
- The retained fixture repair pauses its row trigger only within the
isolated seed transaction, rebuilds the exact source map, and restores
the trigger before commit. A rollback regression and 25 ordinary privacy
cases pass. Its paged-case test budget honors the existing bounded inner
waits; production deadlines are unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tool use and code execution.
The exact serving model ID and context-window size are not exposed by
this session. The test-only fixture changes are reused from #18774,
whose model record identifies OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol. The optional live
acceptance probe uses `gpt-6-astra` with `xhigh` effort through Codex
CLI 0.165.0.

DottaandPaperclip 27d35314be feat: connect experimental Cursor Cloud to native Runner (#18069)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents at work.
> - Native Runner owns execution and task authority.
> - Operators need an explicit native Cursor Cloud choice.
> - Tools/files need company, task, session and run scope.
> - This connects setup and lifecycle to Runner Core.
> - Legacy agents retain their selected runtime/history.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Depends on #18068. Managed-only API placement and API-owned Stop
containment are in #18310. Refs #5664, #11803, #17299, and #17471. No
duplicate native integration was found.

## What Changed

- Add explicit native setup, Test, saved settings and dispatch with
no-prompt account/catalog/callback checks.
- Scope MCP to company, agent, task, session and run through
authenticated HTTPS. Register verified artifacts/work products; preserve
unpriced accounting, completion and budgets.
- Connect Question/Plan continuation, cold handoff and admitted fresh
sessions; recheck waiting admission under the task lock.
- Present audited Stop intent while preserving physical containment
proof; bound typed Stop metadata. Preserve title edits through
preference/navigation readiness.
- Select one live/history representation per run to prevent duplicate
settled cards. Integrate upstream task/read-state/retry/schema contracts
and repair two test fixtures.

## Verification

Core #18068 merged normally as `3910352c923a`. Product head
`5a60f541c982` has passing repository CI/build/browser checks, including
required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`, plus a fresh exact-head Greptile
5/5 review with zero unresolved threads. Two non-required external app
checks remain pending: Paperclip Review is queued waiting for its
assigned agent; Superagent Security Scan is reviewing the diff. These
are not claimed completed. The normal merge endpoint enforces the
repository rules; no policy or status override is used. The dependent
Top PR is addressing its fresh deferred-Stop review finding.

Product `5a60f541c982` passed 270 UI and 20 selected
Cloud/native/disk-full tests, UI/server typechecks, tokens and maps.
Top’s clean normal merge passed tokens/maps/diff checks; its matrix is
pending. Earlier receipts retain Core’s 47 Rust, 4 compiled-native
retirement and 19 settlement controls, normal Runner build, and runtime
9af build/recursive typecheck. Reproduced loading/shutdown CI fixture
failures passed 7/7 browser and 121/121 unit tests, including a
broken-unsubscribe negative control. No timeout/oracle was relaxed.

The actual-parent restack adopts 75 mainline paths, including
schema/permission and generic runtime changes, beyond the prior two
fixture repairs and client projection fix. The full difference from
hosted `9af1a5de42a2` is therefore larger than four files; backend
source also differs. The merged config-read checks match Core391, and
the Cursor placement/runtime/relay/selection modules match frozen9af;
selected affected regressions pass. Paid proof keeps its actual 9af
source/image identity. The separately tested live/history card fix is
not claimed deployed on that host.

On 9af, original saved settings survived reopening and fresh no-prompt
Test authenticated catalog/model/binding; no new Save is claimed. Fresh
Linux admission passed. With `claude-sonnet-4-5`, Artifact downloaded
exact 27 bytes and matched 121 canonical identities in complete
S3-served history. First Stop’s strict quiet FAILED on a 10.373-second
gap despite independent cancellation/no late artifact. One targeted
unchanged-sampler retry retained all 24 samples: 35.076 seconds quiet /
maximum gap 4.584 seconds, 67 ordered canonical identities, and separate
CANCELLED/artifact-absent status after the original 180-second deadline.
The pre-reload duplicate settled card is disclosed. Exact-ID cleanup for
the three new provider agents is awaiting authorization, so full grades
and the fresh Artifact’s post-cleanup download remain blocked. A
historical deleted-provider artifact was newly downloaded on 9af;
original F226 Question/Plan/reconnect and cleanup proof keep their
identities.

Retained failures: stale fixture 132/133; E8 48/135 with 87 reset-hook
failures; Mac 17 SQL failures/skips; earlier
title/startup/custody/Stop/deletion failures with unknown causes/bounded
recoveries; `dea023` Stop’s warning/50 duplicate identities; pre-repair
ACK and original Core CI failures. WSP’s 251-assertion, 7/8-suite
attempt failed physical PostgreSQL teardown; the unchanged wrapper rerun
passed 128. Retry alone establishes no cause or full local-suite pass.
All paid attempts remain recorded; vendor dollar cost is UNKNOWN.

## Risks

Experimental: Cursor independently acknowledges neither the effective
model nor instruction digest before the first prompt. Explicit values
are submitted and checked through behavior; unpriced provider dollar
cost stays UNKNOWN.

Callbacks need authenticated reachable HTTPS. Scope, revocation,
budgets, completion and cleanup remain authoritative. Operator Stop
intent is separate from physical containment. Saved legacy agents retain
their selected runtime. Prior shared title-save/deletion failures remain
disclosed.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, assisted with reasoning, repository tools,
code execution, browser verification, and delegated code review. The
serving model’s exact API ID and context window are not exposed. No
value is inferred from the model catalog.

DottaandPaperclip e16de641ba fix(heartbeat): retain Stop and receipt debt after setup failure (#18776)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server owns execution, Stop delivery, and usage settlement.
> - A restored execution can fail during preparation.
> - A preparation failure does not prove that earlier provider work
never started.
> - Replacing its result metadata can remove an existing Stop and
falsely release its accounting hold.
> - This pull request preserves those obligations at the terminal write.
> - The benefit is honest cleanup and receipt debt without new execution
authority.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A recovered native run can fail a configuration check before dispatch in
the new controller. The setup failure writes bootstrap metadata with
`providerWorkStarted: false`. It also replaces the previous result
metadata. This can remove a pending native Stop. Accounting then accepts
the new bootstrap flag and releases the original hold despite an
incomplete receipt.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the current run-Stop and receipt debt when setup fails after
earlier native execution. Preserve an acknowledgement that commits
during the failure write. Fresh setup that never dispatched must remain
eligible for pre-provider settlement. Keep account-identity checks
effective.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Save admitted native execution, an active provider checkpoint, an
original held reservation, and an audited pending run-only Stop.
2. Recover the run and fail preparation with an account configuration
error before the new controller dispatches.
3. Run ordinary cost reconciliation with an incomplete receipt.
4. Observe that the base removes the Stop and releases the hold as if
the run never started.

Related: #18682 repairs exact-session Stop cleanup after restart. This
change protects setup failure before that path. #18702 handles AI
connection-request waits. #18035 proposes broader accounting policy.
#18778 separately handles retained cleanup across account changes.
Account, budget, and receipt authority are unchanged here.

## What Changed

- Mark setup-failure status writes through an internal lifecycle option.
At the atomic write, a prior coordinator attempt bound to the same run,
company and task prevents false pre-provider evidence, even with a stale
loaded profile. Lock the coordinator before the run so an in-flight
claim cannot be missed. Selected execution input alone does not imply
provider work.
- Keep genuine pre-dispatch setup eligible for settlement after fresh
native input is persisted, whether the loaded profile is current or
stale.
- Preserve only exactly bound native run-Stop fields from the current
database row during failure writes, including the intentional handoff
marker. Keep the latest acknowledgement when the update waits behind
another writer. Normal Stop delivery still advances its own metadata.
Replace unrelated stale result fields.
- Add real PostgreSQL regressions for receipt debt, original holds,
stale snapshots, late acknowledgement, fresh setup, dispatched work, and
foreign or task-scoped metadata.
- Update the execution contract.

## Verification

- On untouched master, the recovered-setup regression fails six
assertions: Stop removal, false bootstrap evidence, false accounting
settlement, lost debt, and released hold. The fresh-setup control
passes.
- A second regression fails four assertions with the first repair
present when the loaded profile lacks the current saved execution. The
atomic current-row check fixes that case.
- The focused safety selection passes. It includes real row-lock
contention. A controlled concurrent writer seeds audited acknowledgement
state while the terminal update waits. The product code retains that
state and creates no acknowledgement or provider turn. This race test
does not prove physical provider termination.
- Fresh native and legacy setup can settle without a receipt. Dispatched
native and legacy work keeps its debt. Foreign run, company, issue and
task-scope metadata stays excluded. Unrelated old result fields are
replaced.
- After the final review fixes, all three completion, Stop and
budget-cancellation suites pass: 121 tests. The exact `pnpm run
typecheck:build-gaps` entry point passes after the final source and
service-test edits. Module-boundary checks pass. An ordinary adapter
pre-provider receipt control also passes.
- Native review also found that fresh selected input could be mistaken
for prior execution. Real-admission loaded/stale cases fail against the
earlier head; a prior-attempt-only control passes. The correction uses
the bound coordinator attempt and includes a foreign-task negative.
Reservation `providerStartedAt` is stamped at reservation creation and
is not used as provider-work evidence.
- A row-lock regression also exposes a first execution claim committing
during the terminal write: the prior statement snapshot misses it and
falsely releases the hold. Locking the exact coordinator before the run
fixes that race and preserves the existing claim lock order. Concurrent
Stop acknowledgement tests remain green.
- Review found two preservation gaps. New real-database reds show
handoff classification loss and overwritten budget Stop delivery
progress. Failure-only preservation and the bounded handoff marker
address them.
- Initial helper-import and reservation-order fixture errors are
retained separately from causal failures. No assertion or deadline was
relaxed to pass the regression.
- Current-head Greptile is 5/5. The optional native review stopped
before completing and returned NEUTRAL; this is not substantive
approval. Its prior finding was reproduced and fixed. Coordinator and
independent source/evidence reviews found no additional issue; neither
is a hosted recovery test.
- These are local database tests with saved provider state. No hosted
recovery, physical provider termination, historical-state repair, or
deployment is claimed. Full repository tests and build passed in
current-head CI: 55 successful checks, three expected skips, and the
explicitly incomplete optional native review returned NEUTRAL. Required
verify and e2e aggregates passed.

## Risks

- The current database row must retain canonical Stop state while
replacing other result metadata. The preservation is limited to the same
native run, company, issue and run-only Stop scope.
- Setup-failure history checks keep uncertain work pending. They do not
create a receipt, acknowledgement, reservation or charge.
- The setup-only write option leaves ordinary adapter pre-provider
receipts unchanged. No account-identity, budget, dispatch, or provider
authorization gate is bypassed.
- Already overwritten historical state needs separate evidence and
repair. This change does not reconstruct it.
- No schema, public API, provider profile, or deployment setting changes
are required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, `gpt-6.1-sol`, Extra High reasoning, with source
inspection, code execution, and regression testing. Context-window
capacity is not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 3910352c92 feat(runner): add experimental Cursor Cloud provider (#18068)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Runner gives each provider durable execution, tool, and completion
contracts.
> - Cursor Cloud currently has a direct adapter outside that native
contract.
> - Cloud work needs exact ownership across HTTP, SSE, Stop, and
recovery.
> - This PR adds a qualified Cloud API driver and verified proxy to
Runner.
> - Product setup and hosted placement remain separate dependent
changes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #5664, #11803, #17299, and #17471. Product integration is #18069.
Managed-only API placement is #18310. The related direct-adapter
model/transcript work is not replaced. No duplicate native Cursor Cloud
integration was found.

## What Changed

- Add native `cursor_cloud` / `cursor_cloud_api` with explicit
model/repository validation, bounded HTTP/SSE, durable per-turn
checkpoints and a qualified Node proxy launched through the Rust facade.
- Commit terminal custody before publication/release; coalesce
consumers, preserve ambiguous create/Stop/recovery fences, reject late
tools, and distinguish definitely-unsent oversized requests from
ambiguous responses.
- Support scoped cold attachment, current authority, reconnect and
verified artifact staging. Keep unsupported warm/external and Windows
paths closed.
- Preserve early source cursors and verify immutable legacy prefixes
before suffix replay, including supported compaction/masking. Optional
proof publication failure falls back to complete cold verification.
- Preserve canonical records at the durable native producer with
JSON-safe privacy and the existing 8MiB bound; drain admitted successor
flushes. Reconcile upstream semantic/pack/schema/lifecycle changes and
retain S3 and legacy CLI checks.

## Verification

Core head `37c442ec8dd4`: all 66 check contexts are terminal
successful/neutral/skipped, including required `ci / verify` and `ci /
e2e`; fresh exact-head Greptile is 5/5 with zero unresolved threads.
Dependent Product `81e828d20a77` and Top `dd2959689627` include the
later client handoff correction and are running their own fresh gates.

Core: 47/47 Rust, 4/4 compiled-native retirement, 19/19 settlement and
normal Runner build passed. Runtime Top `9af1a5de42a2`: build and
recursive typecheck passed. Earlier source-scoped evidence includes 398
focused tests, five relay tests and token/type gates. The 251-assertion,
7/8-suite run failed physical PostgreSQL teardown; the unchanged stable
WSP suite passed 128 through the documented wrapper.

The downstream fixture corrections passed 7/7 browser and 121/121
startup tests without timeout/oracle relaxation; a broken-unsubscribe
control fails. Hosted runtime `9af1a5de42a2` has a passing normal build
and recursive typecheck. Latest dependent heads additionally contain a
pure client fix for stale live/history overlap, with 48 focused tests,
UI typecheck and token gates passing. Its new client is not deployed in
the frozen hosted image; server/native/API/provider source is unchanged
by these four downstream files.

Fresh hosted Linux admission on `9af1a5de42a2` retired its owned
runner/proxy/socket with zero prompts. The saved configuration survived
reopening, and Test authenticated the bound key/catalog/selected model
without a prompt. Artifact with `claude-sonnet-4-5` completed,
downloaded the exact 27 bytes, matched 121 canonical identities against
complete logs and independently reached FINISHED. The active Stop retry
was clicked within its immutable boundary, produced one canonical
interrupted turn and acknowledged run-only cancellation, retained a
valid 35.076s quiet window (maximum gap 4.584s), and independently
remained CANCELLED/artifact-absent beyond the original 180-second
command deadline. All provider-observer credential callbacks, DB clients
and loaders closed; accounting is settled and explicitly unpriced. The
first fresh Stop retains its failed 10.373s sampling gap and every
sample.

On the upgraded9af server, the historical F226 artifact was reopened and
downloaded with its exact original hash after its provider agent had
been deleted/GET404 earlier today. Historical F226 full Artifact/Stop
cleanup, Question, corrected Plan and reconnect retain their original
identities. Deleting the three newly created disposable provider agents
and the new-case post-delete grade remain blocked on explicit user
approval after automatic review rejected expanding the two original
approved IDs. No new-case cleanup or complete fresh matrix pass is
claimed; this is separate from the directly observed task/Stop behavior
and retained exact cleanup proof.

Retained failures: stale fixture 132/133; E8 48/135 with 87 reset-hook
failures; Mac 17 SQL failures/skips; earlier startup-title, title-save,
custody/Stop and deletion failures with unknown causes and bounded
recoveries. `dea023` Artifact passed 17 checks but Stop failed its false
warning and 50 duplicate log identities. Pre-repair ACK failure and
original Core CI failure remain recorded; retry alone establishes no
cause or full local-suite pass. Provider dollar cost stays UNKNOWN.

## Risks

Experimental: Cursor independently acknowledges neither the effective
model nor instruction digest before the first prompt. The caller’s
explicit values are submitted and behavior checked live. Unpriced
provider dollar cost stays UNKNOWN.

Only qualified per-turn controllers are admitted. Uncertain work and
incomplete cleanup stay fenced. Existing damaged/duplicate archives
remain failed evidence. Prefix proof adds bounded object-store I/O; the
8MiB producer bound does not guarantee future providers’ output fits.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, assisted with reasoning, repository tools,
code execution, browser verification, and delegated code review. The
serving model’s exact API ID and context window are not exposed. No
value is inferred from the model catalog.

DottaandPaperclip b22ef22d56 fix(runner): show provider failure details on tasks and runs (#18622)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner starts providers and records their run outcomes.
> - Provider failures can contain useful details below a generic
protocol error.
> - Those details were lost at the sidecar, command receipt, and run
projection boundaries.
> - A blocked task therefore showed a generic failure even when the
provider gave a clear reason.
> - This pull request carries a bounded, sanitized provider failure
through those boundaries.
> - Operators can read the actual cause on the task and run pages.
Existing recovery policy still controls retries.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17543 for the related closed JSON-RPC classification work. Refs
#17272 for provider recovery in the legacy OpenCode adapter. This change
adds display evidence for native Runner providers and keeps recovery
policy separate.

**What happened?**

A native Claude session returned an HTTP 429 message below an ACP
`Internal error`. The task and run showed only a generic startup
failure. Operators had to inspect the provider response to learn that
the account was rate limited.

**Expected behavior**

The task and run show the sanitized provider message, provider name,
startup or turn phase, and available HTTP status. Unknown categories
keep the message. Display evidence does not grant a retry or replace a
recovery decision.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native Claude run whose account is rate limited during model
selection, or return a structured provider failure from a Codex or
OpenCode turn.
2. Let the run fail and open its task page.
3. Before this change, the page shows a generic failure. With this
change, the page shows the provider explanation. The run page shows the
same explanation after reload.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Source checkout based on `f8a888a072`.

## What Changed

- Add one JSON Schema for `ProviderFailure` and generate matching Runner
and shared TypeScript readers. Keep the Runner package independent of
the app workspace at runtime.
- Normalize known ACPX, Codex, and OpenCode error fields. Preserve
unknown messages. Redact known credential values and credential patterns
before applying the 4,000-character limit. Do not copy response bodies,
headers, stacks, or prompts.
- Carry startup failures through the sidecar, Rust Runner, durable
command receipts, and private transport error details. Keep provider
text out of generic transport error strings and Sentry failure messages.
- Keep turn failures in authenticated run events. Recover the same
evidence from persisted events during server finalization. Store the
cause in the company-scoped run result.
- Show one shared notice on failed tasks and run details. Keep existing
retry permissions, scheduled retry state, and resolved-task behavior.
- Reapply registered run-secret and current-user redaction to task
display data. Batch secret lookups for only the visible provider causes.
- Document the contract and update the capability maps. Add regressions
for nested Claude 429 errors, OpenAI quota and rate limits, OpenCode
errors, redaction, durable receipt replay, restart finalization, and UI
rendering.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed. `pnpm build` passed. All GitHub Actions
build, test, package, and validation jobs passed on `d49c79ab4a`. The
security checks passed. Greptile gave this head 5/5 with no open review
threads. Paperclip Review remains pending. Its review worker exhausted
six workspace recovery attempts with export_interrupted. A fresh review
request was accepted and is waiting for that saved workspace. The
ordinary Retry action rejected reuse of the stopped request. This is an
external review-worker blocker; no check was overridden. The duplicate
local `pnpm test:run` was stopped after the CI test shards passed.
- Focused server settlement, provider evidence, and restart tests: 93
passed. Runner admission and normalization tests: 103 passed. Focused
Runner wire and terminal tests: 29 passed. The real Rust/sidecar command
receipt replay test passed.
- The new projection test failed before implementation because the task
had no provider cause. The startup producer regression also failed
before extraction moved ahead of the generic error-code replacement.
Both pass with this change.
- Live check: a rebuilt local sidecar received an actual Claude HTTP 429
during startup. The new cause kept the full provider message. A
synthetic task in an isolated local app then reached the same provider
error through the native Runner path. The dedicated run result, task
API, task banner, and run detail all showed the same message after
reload. The later reporting fix keeps run.error generic; a regression
proves the display cause still survives restart and stays out of Sentry
capture.
- The first isolated app attempt failed earlier in
`admission_credential`. An ordinary manual Retry reached the provider
and produced the 429 above. This PR does not claim to fix that separate
admission failure. An initial parallel local database test setup also
failed; the serial restart suite passed.
- Security review found that copying display text into run.error could
forward it to Sentry. A regression failed with that behavior. The fix
keeps the cause in its display field. All 38 settlement/restart tests
and the server typecheck pass.
- All 29 protocol contract tests pass, including bounds and extra-field
rejection. An earlier full Rust core run passed. The later full run hit
one 5-second receipt-limit timing assertion; its isolated rerun passed.
The full Linux and Windows Rust CI jobs passed on this head.
- Review regressions pass for explicit Codex driver identity, native
Rust startup and resume receipt propagation, oversized OpenCode/ACPX
errors, task read-time registered-secret redaction, and the standalone
source closure. The focused Runner run passed 103 tests;
projection/restart tests passed 16.
- Read-time redaction edge cases passed: a missing decryption key omits
only the unsafe optional explanation; expanded redacted messages remain
visible within the Unicode character limit. All 14 task projection tests
and server typecheck pass.
- The package Build check found an old Pi assertion against
Error.message. The probe now checks the exact closed classification in
the authenticated receipt and requires the new provider cause. Both
polling transport cases pass. A local credential-free Pi probe stopped
at admission_installation because this checkout lacks the Pi
distribution; the installed Linux package probe passed in CI on this
head.
- UI coverage includes startup and turn text, unknown categories,
literal rendering of provider text, read-only retry behavior, and
resolved-task suppression. Token gates and map checks passed.
- The live check covers Claude startup on macOS. Codex, OpenCode,
terminal failures, and restart paths have deterministic regression
coverage. The change is not deployed.

## Risks

- Provider messages are untrusted text. The boundary selects specific
fields, redacts credential patterns and known environment secret values,
bounds the message, and renders plain text. New provider-specific secret
formats may need added redaction patterns.
- Optional fields preserve compatibility with older producers and stored
runs. Old runs without the field keep their current fallback text. No
database migration is required.
- The cause stays in company-scoped run data. This change does not send
provider text to first-party Telemetry or add it to OpenTelemetry span
attributes.
- Normalized categories and retryability are display evidence. Existing
recovery classifiers, retry limits, ownership checks, and approval gates
keep their authority.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser verification. The host does not expose the exact
serving variant or context window size.

DottaandPaperclip 40ea7a9b89 fix(heartbeat): wait for inherited remote workspace writers (#18691)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - A child task can inherit its parent's remote workspace.
> - The remote workspace permits one writer until that writer saves its
files.
> - Reservation reports an active writer as a generic setup failure.
> - The existing shared workspace wait does not cover inherited isolated
workspaces or a race at reservation.
> - This pull request sends verified active writer contention through
the existing scheduled retry path.
> - The child keeps a live execution path while unfinished files remain
protected.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native sandbox task inherited an isolated remote workspace from its
running parent. Setup failed with `The workspace still has an unfinished
writer or save operation.` The child became blocked before provider
execution and had no scheduled continuation after the parent saved.

**Expected behavior**

The child waits for the active writer through the existing workspace
retry path. It keeps its workspace binding. A stale writer or a stopped
writer with unfinished saves still requires reconciliation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native sandbox task with remote workspace storage.
2. Create a child that inherits its isolated workspace or operator
branch while the parent is still writing.
3. Start the child. On the old code, atomic reservation raises a generic
setup failure.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on `410b0e27015495ab8951768b5b0b94727de33785`. Regression
reproduced on source based on
`554a770c6f8e48e327e19f5208b575a5ec5bce30`.

**Deployment mode**

Authenticated managed server, external PostgreSQL, native Codex with a
Daytona sandbox. The failed attempt stopped before runtime selection or
provider startup.

Related: #18611 permits inherited remote bindings. #16371 adds waits for
reused shared execution workspaces. This repair handles active writer
contention at atomic remote reservation. #17156 proposes a separate
change to task workspace inheritance.

## What Changed

- Return a typed conflict with the exact active writer from the remote
reservation owner. Keep company, binding, access, and writer checks in
that transaction.
- Translate a recent running writer into the existing heartbeat
workspace wait. Keep stale, unknown, stopped, dirty, and uncertain save
fences. The writer task lookup uses its primary key.
- Preserve the admitted assignee role across preparation so reassignment
cannot turn an old owner into a guest retry.
- Add PostgreSQL regressions for isolated workspaces, operator branches,
native writer identity, unchanged saved authority, admission after save,
durable retry, Stop, and reassignment before contention reaches the wait
handler.
- Update the development guide and workspace verification recipes.

## Verification

- Red: both inherited isolated/operator preparation cases fail on the
old code. They receive `HttpError(remote_workspace_writer_pending)`
instead of a workspace wait. No provider or allocation starts.
- Green: those same cases pass after the repair. The assembled public
heartbeat cases also pass: one scheduled retry owns the task lock, no
sandbox lease is created, the original writer and saved authority remain
unchanged, and Stop prevents retry promotion.
- Ownership race red/green: changing the assignee during preparation
produced `wasIssueAssignee: false` before the review fix. The same
regression now preserves its original role. A real transaction fault
boundary also reassigns the task after reservation rejects it and before
the wait handler runs; promotion cancels that retry with
`issue_reassigned`.
- Test isolation: an initial combined placement cached the synthetic S3
run-log backend and failed twelve later preparation cases. The assembled
native tests now have their own process. The ordered reproduction and
all four complete affected suites pass after that change: 171 tests,
zero skipped.
- Four additional saved-file lifecycle cases pass against disposable
Docker PostgreSQL 17 with independent filesystem execution and local
object storage. They restore inherited shared, isolated, and
operator-branch files on a new allocation and retain the second-writer
fence. The other 42 cases in that file were outside the selection.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`, and
`git diff --check` pass on the final source.
- The earlier `pnpm test:run` passed all six chat shards: 1,828 tests.
Its remaining general-server phase was interrupted after final-head CI
passed. That local command began before the review fix and is not a
complete local full-suite pass.
- Final head `096235d8fc80033f92d8de1fcfa9835795ba0456`: 54 successful
checks/statuses, three skipped checks, and two neutral checks. None is
pending or failed. All build, typecheck, general/serialized tests,
Runner checks, and eight browser E2E shards pass in
[CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41544310900).
The PR is mergeable with no conflicts.
- Greptile is 5/5 on that exact head. Its ownership finding is resolved
and no review thread remains open. Paperclip Review also reports 5/5
with no findings; its check conclusion is neutral. Its earlier
status-conflict recovery completed through the ordinary review request
path.
- Local environment: macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, pnpm 9.15.4, isolated
native PostgreSQL and the disposable PostgreSQL 17 lifecycle fixture.
The acquisition boundary is controlled in the focused preparation cases.
No live Codex/Daytona replay is claimed: the local environment and test
configuration lack the required test credentials.
- No deployment, merge, or original task recovery is claimed.

## Risks

- Incorrect contention classification could retry a stopped or
unverified writer. Only a running writer with a same-company task and
recent activity enters the wait path. Stale and terminal dirty cases
retain the conflict.
- Retries must not start another executor or release unsaved files.
Reservation remains atomic. The tests check unchanged writer authority,
no allocation before release, one durable retry, retained binding, Stop,
and reassignment before the conflict is caught.
- No API schema, database migration, provider configuration, model,
credential, trust, or approval changes.

## Model Used

- OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through Codex. The context window size is not
exposed in this session. Used reasoning, tool use, code execution, and
browser diagnostics. No sub-agents were used.

DottaandPaperclip 16643a6e03 fix(runner): recover pending Stop cleanup after controller restart (#18682)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server owns execution, Stop delivery, and usage settlement.
> - A Stop can remain pending when the controller restarts.
> - Recovery must reach the existing session without starting more paid
work.
> - Startup and budget fences currently block that cleanup, and
interrupted runs leave the restart selection.
> - This pull request gives exact audited Stop cleanup a shared
authority check and records its real acknowledgement.
> - The benefit is safe cleanup while usage debt remains honest.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A pending native run-only Stop can retain an unfinished execution owner
after controller loss. Its startup cancellation fence prevents recovery
admission. If teardown marks the run interrupted and clears its task
lock, restart selection also omits it. A recovered session can receive
cancellation without the durable acknowledgement that the normal Stop
request would save.

**Expected behavior**

Recover only the existing remote session for the audited pending Stop.
Keep fresh provider work blocked, including during budget pause. Keep
incomplete usage pending until a real complete receipt arrives.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native run with a held reservation and an authenticated
remote checkpoint.
2. Persist a run-only Stop and its startup and execution cancellation
fences before acknowledgement.
3. Lose the controller. Leave the coordinator unfinished, mark the run
interrupted, and clear its task lock.
4. Attempt restart recovery and observe the missing claim or
cancellation admission rejection.

Related work: #14733 binds caller Stop requests. #18658 handles plugin
startup cleanup obligations. #18035 proposes broader accounting changes.
This change repairs existing-session Stop recovery and preserves current
accounting guards.

## What Changed

- Add one shared check for the exact run, company, issue, pending Stop,
intent audit, live recovery lease, generation, and remote reattachment
disposition.
- Include eligible interrupted Stop owners in restart selection. Keep
generic interruptions and another task execution owner fenced.
- Reuse only the original held reservation for cleanup. Keep budget
pause effective for fresh, bootstrap, dead-runner, and unproven recovery
work.
- Apply the same cleanup authority at heartbeat runtime selection and
native entry. Skip attachment staging and warm-owner retirement only for
that exact cleanup. Revalidate at session publication and fail closed if
the proof changed.
- Send the existing Stop through the audited cancellation producer
before turn submission. Close the coordinator only after
acknowledgement, including system-owned run-only Stops.
- Give verified cleanup a transport purpose that retains pending
semantic inputs without replay, dispatch, or a semantic reply. Add an
explicit Core retain-only intake mode; preserve authenticated identity,
schema, digest, sequence and replay checks. Ordinary execution still
requires its dispatcher.
- Add PostgreSQL, native protocol, and startup-fence regressions. Update
the execution contract and recovery maps.

## Verification

- The combined Stop regression fails on unchanged production at the
cancellation reservation guard. Interrupted restart selection also fails
before the repair while its running sibling passes.
- An assembled `heartbeatService.recoverNativeRunsAfterRestart`
regression exposes the earlier runtime-selection fence with the rest of
the repair present. The fixed path reaches selector/claim, runtime
selection, original held-budget reuse during pause, dispatch, real
native protocol, audited cancellation, and heartbeat settlement. It
starts no provider turn, acquires no new sandbox, and does not reclaim
the task lock.
- Fail-if-called attachment staging and turn boundaries remain
untouched. A retained warm-owner regression prevents retirement.
Invalidation at session publication fails closed. Actual backend/driver
constructor tests verify cleanup-purpose forwarding, absent default
options, and denial under foreign ownership.
- Missing usage retains accounting debt and the hold. A later complete
receipt records one 25-cent charge and settles that same hold.
Concurrent duplicate cleanup is denied. Both user-owned and system-owned
Stops pass.
- Real transport tests: 9 pass on Node 24.22.1. They preserve ordinary
saved-tool and completion recovery, prove the authority-denial race
before cancellation, and qualify cleanup with pending
ordinary/completion inputs and either handler ordering.
- Real authenticated Core intake: 11 pass. Callback-present and
callback-absent retain-only cases persist and acknowledge unanswered
input without dispatch, recovery or result. Default missing-dispatcher
rejection and digest-integrity/suspension guards remain effective.
Omitting the callback alone first failed by disconnecting; the explicit
retain-only mode fixes that defect.
- Repository `pnpm -r typecheck`, the server/runner-vendor build, map
checks, and module boundary checks passed locally before integrating the
latest retained-startup change. That integration passes 11 native
startup/cleanup compatibility cases and 3 assembled recovery/accounting
cases. The final broad affected-suite attempt was stopped without a
verdict; it is incomplete. Full repository tests and build are delegated
to current-head GitHub CI.
- Review exposed an additional real-process close failure with
unanswered input. The corrected path requires a fresh exact
provider-stop receipt confirming exit, followed by durable event drain
and exact runner suspension. All 11 focused transport cases pass,
including missing/false exit-proof negatives and ordinary recovery
siblings. Runner TypeScript and map validation pass after this
correction.
- The assembled test controls provider, workspace-transfer and GitHub
bootstrap I/O. It does not qualify hosted credentials, physical provider
termination, workspace preservation, or historical receipt recovery.
Local socket-permission setup failures are separate from semantic
regression results. No hosted replay has run on this repair.

- CI exposed an ordinary factory-call compatibility regression and an
obsolete authority-read test fixture. The repair preserves
single-argument ordinary calls and updates the race fixture without
changing its Stop assertions. The complete native executor suite now
passes all 1,049 tests; the ordinary factory boundary and all five
Stop-accounting cases pass. A separate local environment-default case
twice exceeded its five-second wait while other work ran; its prior-head
CI case passed. The same unchanged case passed an isolated diagnostic
without changing its assertion or timeout; the precise contention source
remains unproven.

- The final fixture edit initially used the wrong overloaded promise
type. CI rejected it; the annotation-only correction passes the exact
`pnpm run typecheck:build-gaps` entry point locally, including server
service tests and remaining workspaces. No runtime assertion changed.

- Final exact head `007fd4d04a2d6338c6dc073e97ab470a277fc3d0`: required
`ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`, build, typecheck and test groups pass.
Greptile is 5/5 with both findings resolved. Three expected checks are
skipped; the optional native check is neutral, while its final
current-head comment gives 5/5 from source inspection without a checkout
or test execution. The first server-shard attempt lost its self-hosted
runner connection; one scoped rerun passed. Its original annotation and
unavailable-log evidence are retained.

## Risks

- This changes execution authority. Cleanup requires an audited, exactly
bound pending Stop, an unfinished coordinator, a live remote
reattachment claim, and the original held reservation. It never
authorizes a replacement provider turn.
- Missing checkpoint, original held reservation, termination, or usage
evidence can keep cleanup or accounting pending. The repair does not
manufacture acknowledgement, replies, receipts, or zero cost.
- Retain-only intake is an internal trusted constructor option. It
changes no agent tool permission. Ordinary callback requirements and
semantic dispatch remain unchanged.
- No schema, public API, provider profile, or deployment setting changes
are required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, `gpt-6.1-sol`, Extra High reasoning, with source
inspection, code execution, and regression testing. The context-window
capacity is not exposed in this session.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip a9b18e1cbe fix(runner): preserve cleanup ownership across startup failures (#18658)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip controls which run owns an agent task.
> - A plugin can continue accepted work after Core stops waiting.
> - A late task-creation reply can therefore arrive after startup
cancellation.
> - Core must keep that work owned until its resource identity and
cleanup outcome are known.
> - This PR supplies the cleanup and recovery support before shared
startup is enabled.
> - The dependent activation PR can then reuse transport data within a
bounded startup context.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18405. This is the independently mergeable prerequisite for that
stacked activation PR.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Cleanup of explicitly recorded startup work that outlives its caller.

**Current behavior**

Caller timeout, worker exit, or failed cleanup-intent persistence can
leave work without a complete recovery path.

**Proposed behavior**

Retain the cleanup obligation, use existing Stop and recovery queues,
and release ownership only after the exact task and accepted work have
stopped. Ordinary calls keep their existing startup payloads and
budgets. This PR does not create startup contexts or advertise transport
reuse.

**Reason and benefit**

Separate the failure-handling contract from activation so each can be
reviewed on its own. This support PR has **no standalone TTFT speedup**.

## What Changed

- Add the startup cleanup marker, exact ownership checks, verified
completion, and acknowledgement helpers.
- Connect recorded cleanup obligations to existing Stop, deadline
reconciliation, restart recovery, and retry scheduling.
- Retain typed cleanup responsibility when a database write fails. Keep
the nonterminal run from being treated as ordinary completed cleanup.
- Observe late acquisition results and save resource identities before
retiring them. Retain real host writes and received results across
worker exit or persistence failure.
- Queue abandoned replacement tasks through the existing creation
journal and cleanup machinery. Require the replacement's own Stop proof.
- Accept an explicit startup context in the internal bridge for lifetime
tracking. Automatic context creation, marker production, capability
advertisement, transport capture, and executor activation belong to
#18405.
- Add PostgreSQL and worker IPC regressions, including legacy payload
assertions.

## Verification

Initial split source `8fb482d8be9e70101b0cfdd0830f41cf5b8e3cf4` had tree
`95508bd1859e991670cad8afd4de8d2167009ac5`. **190 distinct targeted
tests pass**, along with server typechecking. The selected checks cover
real PostgreSQL cleanup/ownership, worker IPC, the bridge and creation
journal, ordinary/distributed Stop, restart and deadline recovery,
idle-sleep behavior, and the unchanged legacy warm-task suite.
Independent recovery and worker reviews found no blocking issue.

The first correction, `b6342d42042601b376da38dc8e1dba9ca80e9539`, fixes
the replacement cleanup finding with the existing startup-cleanup
marker, scoped to contextual abandoned task creations. The replacement
was never prepared, so preparation-stop proof is not required. No
dispatch is fabricated and no normal-startup query is added. The actual
queue/sweep/driver/receipt/cancellation regression fails before the fix
and passes after it: void, running or foreign-task status retains
ownership; exact-task stopped status permits completion even when
Release returns void. **64 affected targeted cases and server
typechecking pass**. Independent review found no blocker.

Current source is `f53af72af76f263096c3c2e788506e6faef9474f`. It fixes
both recovery findings from the prior head's Apex 3/5: orphan recovery
now preserves pending or completed-but-not-cancelled cleanup through its
existing final-write fence, and exact late identities can reach verified
cleanup after reconciliation or restart. The regression selection went
from four failing assertions to six passing cases. Affected selections
cover 217 distinct cases; the exact final six-case regression and server
typecheck pass. Independent reviewers found no blocker in either fix.
Current-head standard review is 5/5 and all CI checks pass (54
successes, three expected skips, plus Snyk). Apex also completed at
**5/5** on this exact head, with zero unresolved threads. The requested
independent availability audit is complete on this head. It found an
activation-dependent operability gap: an acquisition response that is
never received can leave an unknown creation identity with no supported
task inspection/reconciliation path, while cleanup keeps the run owner
reserved. This does not occur in ordinary lower-only calls. The contract
and recovery policy need follow-up before activation; the external
review scores do not resolve that availability tradeoff.

The split preserves the accepted implementation at `21db7b3851` after
its clean merge with frozen master
`946735d03a55c1fb4cc5434d6bf1d87742daa9df`. The initial dependent
activation PR restored exact aggregate tree
`f68c6895f87c7b93ae03e6324d955d2659a99dce`. Both subsequent cleanup
corrections are integrated into upper head
`27978f294a02da3992585c7f4daa73cd8fcf99f8`; its current aggregate tree
is `a0b66c33f5e22745f034f45d24d213f5c210cf16`. Lower-only payload tests
cover the absence of capability advertisement and transport projection.

Only targeted local tests and typechecking are used. Full regression
coverage runs in GitHub CI. No deployment or ROM qualification is part
of this change.

The lower audit covered connected worker, creation-journal, Stop,
restart, deadline and orphan-recovery paths. A new isolated
real-PostgreSQL characterization reproduced the unknown-ID hold through
actual recovery, cleanup verification and run-control cancellation. It
models a lost acquisition response; it is not a live provider or
complete IPC test. No source edits were made by the audit. The
upper/composition audit remains required after its review cycle.

## Risks

- Recording a replacement result now commits with the existing cleanup
notification. This conditional replacement path adds
transaction/notification responses; common retained startup is
unchanged.
- This adds cleanup and recovery state handling. A missing receipt or
permanently inaccessible old backend can keep ownership held
indefinitely. Temporary outages retry; an ordinary retry is not evidence
that a deleted or replaced backend stopped.
- A caller timeout does not undo work already accepted by a plugin.
Unknown resource creation remains unresolved until its identity/outcome
is established. Current task creation has no supported
inspect-by-operation or operator reconciliation API for a permanently
lost identity; repeated Stop alone cannot resolve it.
- The support code understands records produced by the dependent
activation PR. It does not enable the shared startup policy by itself.
- Existing legacy callers must retain their behavior; context-only
automatic replacement cleanup remains explicitly scoped.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact model ID and context window are
not exposed in this session. Tool-assisted implementation, targeted

DottaandPaperclip b4315943e8 fix(heartbeat): keep remote retry workspace strategy stable (#18660)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip preserves agent work across separate execution services.
> - A remote retry can create a new isolated Git workspace.
> - Later admissions compare its saved configuration with the current
policy.
> - Fresh preparation also creates a temporary controller-side strategy.
> - Remote preparation saved that temporary strategy in its fingerprint.
> - The next unchanged turn then reported a workspace strategy
replacement.
> - This change saves the admitted remote strategy so unchanged reuse
stays stable.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related preparation work: #18543 and #17924. I searched open and merged
workspace/session repairs and public workspace-strategy issues. None
covers this fresh remote retry case.

**What happened?**

After Retry created an isolated remote Git workspace, each unchanged
follow-up reported `workspace_config_freshness` with `action: replace`
and `changedCategories: [strategy]`. It retained the same workspace. The
stored fingerprint contained `project_primary`, which was only a
temporary controller provisioning choice.

**Expected behavior**

Save the configured remote strategy. An unchanged follow-up must reuse
the same workspace without a false replacement report. A real strategy,
base-ref, mode or environment change must retain its replacement checks.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Prepare a fresh isolated remote Git retry with a `git_worktree`
strategy.
2. Complete its runtime handoff.
3. Admit another turn with the same workspace policy.
4. Inspect the recorded workspace freshness decision.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `b9e94b85a69bf679818eeef9ecf4655554a89c6b`. The regression
also fails on the unchanged preparation code in the current base.

**Deployment mode**

Authenticated server with remote workspace authority and a sandbox
execution target.

## What Changed

- Keep the admitted strategy when a fresh workspace uses remote
authority.
- Retain the temporary controller strategy for existing host-side seed
preparation.
- Extend the PostgreSQL preparation test through a fresh admission and
its next ordinary admission. Assert the same workspace, current writer
and stable fingerprint, with no false drift operation.
- Cover a genuinely configured `project_primary` fresh remote Git retry
followed by a real strategy change, preserving its replacement decision
and stored fingerprint.
- Document the execution rule and the separate live verification recipe.

## Verification

- The final regression was run before and after the production change.
Before: the next admission recorded a strategy replacement. After:
unchanged reuse records no drift and retains the workspace and
fingerprint.
- All 312 targeted cases pass on
`48b3e548afa42e740871feae2763d88fd5a00431` across workspace preparation,
workspace/session policy and inherited session preparation. These
include actual strategy/base-ref changes and the rule that explicit
reuse must not hide real replacement-class drift.
- All eight remote preparation cases also pass with the compatibility
regression: a genuinely configured `project_primary` fresh Git retry
creates a `git_worktree` row, and its later real strategy change retains
the replacement decision and saved fingerprint.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check` pass.
- Full recursive typecheck and `pnpm build` pass locally on this head.
- The [full current-head CI
matrix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41524105868)
passes: typecheck/build, all general server, chat, workspace and
serialized test groups, plus Runner and E2E checks. The workflow and
`run-vitest-stable.mjs` partition the complete suite.
- The duplicate local `pnpm test:run` passed all 1,828 chat cases and
was intentionally stopped during general-server after the same complete
CI matrix passed. This is not recorded as a full local-suite pass.
- Greptile and Paperclip Review both assessed this head at 5/5 with no
new findings. Paperclip Review accepted the compatibility boundary after
the counterexample; its check conclusion is neutral. The addressed
review thread is resolved.
- The regression uses real PostgreSQL and preparation policy. Runtime
acquisition is controlled at its external boundary. The new fix has not
been deployed; live provider resumption remains unverified for this
patch.

## Risks

- Existing incorrect fingerprints are not rewritten. The same stored
shape can come from a genuinely configured `project_primary` remote Git
retry; a Git workspace row alone cannot prove the old admission policy.
Rewriting it would hide a real policy change. After preserving and
inspecting retained work, an explicitly admitted fresh recovery after
rollout establishes a correct new fingerprint. Ordinary reuse of the old
workspace does not migrate it. Normal recovery gates remain required.
- Real policy changes still use the current replacement guard. No
schema, credential or authority change is included.

PostgreSQL tests and browser inspection. The host does not expose the
exact model variant or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip b4a66027b7 fix(server): deliver chat completions after nested workspace saves (#18665)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent Chat returns completed worker tasks to the original
conversation.
> - Delivery must retain its wake receipt when execution gates refuse
admission.
> - A workspace save can contain a nested snapshot operation.
> - The old checks lost the receipt and treated that saved snapshot as
unfinished work.
> - This pull request preserves the receipt and recognizes a successful
owning save.
> - The benefit is that completed work can reach the chat through the
normal queue.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18652. Related: #17206 covers failed finalize recovery. This
repair handles a successful finalize with an enclosed snapshot and does
not change failed-save recovery policy.

**What happened?**

A delegated worker finished and saved its result. The original chat
received no update. The dependency gate compared operation start times.
A nested snapshot started after its enclosing finalize and therefore
left a permanent hold. The completion wake also lost its exact
idempotency receipt when the queue merged a refused wake into a generic
dependency wait. The outbox reported `Completion wake returned no run or
durable receipt`.

**Expected behavior**

A successful finalize covers a completed operation enclosed by that save
when company, workspace, issue, and run match. Completion wakes that
disable coalescing keep their own durable receipt even when admission
waits. Dependency, budget, Stop, and pause gates still apply.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Hand a task from a chat to a worker and make the chat wait on that
task.
2. Finish a workspace finalize that starts before its nested snapshot
and ends after the successful snapshot.
3. Mark the worker Done and deliver its completion outbox entry.
4. On the parent revision, the dependency stays blocked and the
completion receipt is absent.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against `53f480d1b3` with real disposable Postgres rows and
the normal queue/outbox services.

## What Changed

- Honor `allowRunCoalescing: false` when recording execution waits.
- Accept an enclosed successful operation only when the successful
finalize has the same company, workspace, issue, and run and covers its
whole recorded interval.
- Preserve the existing rule that a strictly later successful workspace
finalize clears earlier work.
- Add failure controls for foreign runs, unfinished snapshots, failed
saves, snapshots that finish too late, and later operations.
- Exercise the real outbox and queue together. Hold provider dispatch at
the existing drain boundary and verify server-recorded Done facts reach
the admitted turn.
- Document receipt identity and workspace-save coverage.

## Verification

- Before repair: the two causal regressions fail and five safety
controls pass. The missing exact receipt and empty wakeable-dependent
list match the observed failure.
- After repair: those seven cases pass without assertion changes.
- The full affected set passed 288 tests and failed one existing
scheduling test. Its unchanged Node24 baseline also failed. A
closed-phase probe showed the fake adapter finished successfully at
3.453 seconds, after the incidental 3-second poll. The test now joins
the existing execution promise and retains its status and dependency
assertions under the unchanged Vitest timeout. The synchronized full
dependency suite passes all 13 cases.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass on pinned Node24/pnpm9.
`pnpm test:run` is running. The combined real outbox/queue case passes.
Fresh Greptile is 5/5 on `d7cee24b7032c7fdf171bfd1246cd90d41db1cba`.
Exact-head normal CI and required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e` pass.
- The original scheduling failures on Node26 and Node24, the
unchanged-source baseline failure, and the closed-phase probe are
retained in the validation record. No model, deadline, production
assertion, or paid attempt was retried to change the failure grade.
- Current-head CI attempt1 passed all product and workspace coverage but
failed the unchanged serialized retry-worker case at
`issue-scheduled-retry-routes.test.ts:606` (first batch not observed
before the poll deadline;410 other shard tests passed). The exact
unchanged case passes locally on Node24 with real Postgres. The one
failed-jobs-only retry passed on the same head; the original grade is
retained.
- The full local command completed all1828 chat integration tests. Its
general stage remains running and has retained failures in unchanged
`workspace-runtime.test.ts` (30-second local port-conflict fixture) and
`muse-control.test.ts` (current binding authentication fixture). These
are not counted as passing local full-suite evidence. Their current-head
hosted coverage passed.
- The separate advisory Paperclip Review app is paused and has no code
finding. Its in-progress state is preserved and is not counted as a
pass; it is not a required repository status check.
- The live Cloud completion journey remains failed and unqualified. It
must pass at the deployed fixed revision before daily-plan admission. No
QA oracle, model, budget, or run limit changes are included.

## Risks

- The workspace coverage query must not clear a save from another owner
or new work after finalization. The guard checks the full interval and
exact owner identity, with negative controls.
- Refused noncoalescible automatic wakes retain separate receipts.
Replaceable automatic signals still merge. No new polling or provider
retry path is added.
- No migration or API change. Deployment and live acceptance are
separate remaining gates.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, and code execution. The
exact deployment variant and context-window size are not exposed in this
session.

DottaandPaperclip a92f616cd0 fix(db): attribute bounded captures to execution owners (#18634)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work through shared server and database
services.
> - High query volume can spend main-thread time on SQL construction and
result decoding.
> - The existing bounded response capture counts rows and bytes, but it
cannot name the operation that executed a query.
> - Bundled callers can be missing, and measuring every parsed JSON
value adds work to the diagnostic.
> - This pull request carries a semantic execution owner into each
measured query and bounds response sizing.
> - Operators can rank query volume by owner before choosing a
performance fix.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17504, #17522, #17537, #17564.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The opt-in `PAPERCLIP_DB_RESPONSE_CAPTURE_WINDOW` diagnostic.

**Subsystem affected**

Database diagnostics and existing server execution boundaries.

**Current behavior**

The capture groups by table, operation, and builder caller. It cannot
distinguish execution owners that reuse a prepared query. Bundled
deployments need source maps for caller locations. The capture visits
every returned value and serializes parsed JSON again to estimate its
size.

**Proposed behavior**

Version 2 captures use fixed semantic owners for HTTP requests, delivery
queues, execution phases, and budget work. They count completed calls,
returned rows, errors, and completion wall time. They sample successful
results 1, 17, 33, and so on, with fixed cell and string/byte limits.
Complex values remain explicitly unmeasured. Semantic ownership works
without source maps.

**Reason and benefit**

A short census can identify which operations issue the most queries or
return the most rows. It preserves each query's execution owner through
pooled connections, concurrent operations, and prepared-query reuse. It
reduces diagnostic work without claiming per-query CPU attribution.

**Breaking changes**

Opt-in capture output moves from `entry.v1`/`summary.v1` to
`entry.v2`/`summary.v2`. Sampled primitive byte lower bounds replace
all-result byte estimates. Consumers must use the new fields and must
not extrapolate them into a total. There is no database migration or
application API change.

## What Changed

- Added `withDatabaseOperation(owner, action)` to the DB package. The
server owns semantic labels. Queries retain execution ownership in their
completion closure.
- Added fixed owners at existing HTTP, delivery, budget, and execution
timing boundaries. Delivery work replaces the context of the producer
that woke it.
- Added complete call/row/error counters and completion wall durations
within the existing bounded window. Durations include waits and are not
CPU measurements.
- Sampled and bounded primitive-value sizing. Complex and oversized
values remain unmeasured. Known owners skip repeated stack extraction.
- Preserved the deadline, group limit, paced output, query outcomes, and
existing coverage exclusions. Updated the operator documentation.
- Added real PostgreSQL owner-isolation and prepared-query tests, server
scope tests, and plain bundled-runtime proof.
- Moved projection-test and benchmark full-response sizing into an
explicit test helper. Existing payload-size thresholds remain unchanged;
these synthetic checks do not use the production sampler.

## Verification

- Final-commit DB capture suites: 43 tests passed in 13.86 seconds
against the actual PostgreSQL driver, including concurrent owners,
prepared reuse, transaction failure, a dedicated client, sampling, and a
query crossing the deadline. DB typecheck passed.
- Server attribution and existing delivery/execution/budget suites: 53
tests passed. Final concurrent HTTP GET/JSON POST scope refinement: 5
tests passed.
- Runtime bundle suite: 8 existing tests passed. The new no-source-map
owner test passed after its fixture was corrected to use a driver
thenable. An ordinary native Promise can bypass an overridden `.then`;
the real PostgreSQL tests separately cover driver integration.
- Observer-only experiment: three alternating pairs per case on Node
24.22.2, macOS arm64, 3,000 calls per run after warm-up. For an
already-materialized synthetic JSON result, median capture CPU fell from
82.37 to 1.87 microseconds/call. For a 100-row primitive result, it fell
from 8.10 to 4.40 microseconds/call. Every result retained identity and
all calls were counted. The new diagnostic intentionally measures less
byte data; these are observer costs, not database latency or a hosted
application speedup. Disabled-case timings were below one
microsecond/call and too small for a performance conclusion.
- Final lifecycle regression: 28 unit tests and DB typecheck passed.
Closing the last capture disables and replaces owner storage;
overlapping captures retain it.
- Final-commit full recursive typecheck passed in 38.38 seconds and full
build passed in 40.81 seconds. The build stamp matches
`83ed4ba9cebd68d48929c46f15ab32d5c0b9687b`. Focused server attribution
tests also passed 5/5 before the test-helper-only migration. Full test
acceptance will use the repository's parallel CI gates; the unsharded
local command takes hours.
- Verification failures retained: initial sandbox runs could not open
local IPC/PostgreSQL listeners; permitted reruns exercised the real
services. One old test expected JSON serialization and was updated to
assert explicit unmeasured complex values. The first bundle fixture used
the wrong promise boundary, as described above. A retained-callback
regression also demonstrated that disabling and reusing the same
AsyncLocalStorage instance could resurrect an old owner; replacing the
instance after the last capture closes fixes that case.
- The first CI run found older projection tests consuming the previous
full-response fields. Those consumers now use the full-response test
helper, preserving their byte thresholds. The two complete affected
route suites plus helper tests passed 115/115 in 73.08 seconds. A
temporary full-row query negative control then failed the unchanged
2,048-byte limit at 5,000,812 bytes and was restored; five other service
suites passed 34/34 and the affected chat cases passed 3/3. All three
previously failing CI shards passed on the corrected head. A local
skill-list benchmark smoke check completed 255 captured queries with no
in-flight queries or overflow; this was integration verification under
concurrent test load, not a timing benchmark.
- Two final-head runner jobs lost communication with GitHub before
reporting a test result. One targeted retry of those jobs and their
dependent aggregate passed. All 53 final-head checks passed, with 3
intentional skips; previously passing suites were preserved.
- Hosted capture remains pending until the reviewed revision is deployed
and a bounded window is explicitly configured.

Reproduce the focused checks with Node 24 and the repository pnpm
version:

```sh
pnpm exec vitest run packages/db/src/response-capture.test.ts packages/db/src/response-capture-postgres.test.ts
pnpm --dir server exec vitest run --config vitest.config.ts src/__tests__/database-operation-attribution.test.ts scripts/bundle-runtime.test.mjs
pnpm -r typecheck
pnpm build
```

## Risks

- Owner context is active while a valid future capture window is armed,
up to 30 minutes before accounting starts. No-window and expired calls
take the direct path. Diagnostics still add bounded work while enabled.
- A nearest nested owner is reported. Broad `http.request` and
unattributed groups remain visible; this does not identify every service
callsite or SQL shape.
- The existing census excludes tagged/raw explicit-execute/streaming
paths and internal protocol commands. Its counts are not PostgreSQL
transaction totals.
- Completion wall time includes queue/database/network/scheduling waits.
Concurrent durations overlap. Sampled bytes exclude complex values,
large strings, and values beyond the sizing limits.
- Activation is startup-only. Operators must choose the window after
artifact preparation, allow rollout/warm-up time, and remove the expired
setting afterward.

and parallel agents. The exact deployment model ID and context-window
size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 0710c56842 fix: retry saved chat input after a successful run (#18621)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and the work they receive.
> - Connected conversations save incoming requests before they can run.
> - A request can remain queued when the previous turn finishes
successfully.
> - Task Retry sent that case through the failed-run retry guard, which
rejected the successful run.
> - This change resumes the saved request through its existing admission
owner.
> - The operator can continue saved work while preserving the prior
result and current permissions.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Task Retry returned a conflict for a restricted connected conversation
when its latest run succeeded and newer input remained saved. A GitHub
review can reach this state when a new PR head arrives during the
previous review. The prior review cannot publish against the new head,
but its completed turn is not a failed run that can be replayed.

**Expected behavior**

Retry should resume the saved request with its original source identity
and current authorization. It must preserve the previous successful
result and must not replay that turn.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a review through a restricted GitHub endpoint.
2. Send a PR synchronize event while that review runs and retain its
deferred input receipt.
3. Let the original run finish successfully with the task still open.
4. Click Retry. Before this change, the failed-run guard rejects the
request. With this change, the saved input creates one successor through
normal admission.

Related work: #17725, #16965, #15033.

## What Changed

- Select the newest saved input by its canonical chat action and wake
receipt.
- Store its receipt ID in the task retry intent and resume it through
the existing chat owner.
- Preserve caller permissions, source authorization, task state, agent
state, cleanup waits, and duplicate-click handling.
- Exclude saved-input intents from generic board-message replay. Keep
board messages in separate queued receipts and allow independently saved
input after successful board turns.
- Add signed webhook, HTTP endpoint, accepted-result preservation, and
refusal tests. Update execution semantics and capability maps. Stabilize
the existing Teams lifecycle test with explicit database result
ordering.

## Verification

- Current-head [CI
passes](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41482727909):
54 successful checks, one neutral review, three expected skips, and a
successful Snyk status. Greptile gives commit `53f02e9105` 5/5 with no
unresolved review threads.
- Reproduced the original HTTP 409 before the fix. Reproduced both
review findings with three failing cases before fixing them.
- Passed 25 focused and related GitHub retry cases, 52 ordinary queue
tests, and three native startup cases against disposable PostgreSQL.
Earlier related verification also passed 83 GitHub retry cases and 109
recovery/receipt cases.
- Passed `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, `node
scripts/check-maps.mjs`, and the module boundary check. The final server
typecheck passed after the review fixes.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` attempt stopped on an existing Slack
queue deadline assertion with a 1 ms database/host clock difference.
That case passed in isolation. A second attempt was stopped when review
changes superseded its source. Full local completion is not claimed; all
chat, server, browser, build, and runner CI jobs passed on the final
commit.
- The runner CI job needed one rerun after a two-second startup timing
assertion failed. That case and its two related cases passed locally;
the rerun passed without code changes.
- Live GitHub review publication with this patch is not verified. The
signed provider fixture uses mocked GitHub responses. This branch is not
deployed.

## Risks

- This changes how Retry dispatches deferred external input after a
successful run. It relies on the existing inbound owner to recheck
source authority before execution.
- Tests cover paused connections and agents, changed source bindings,
completed tasks, pending cleanup, duplicate clicks, and preservation of
the accepted result.
- No schema migration or public API shape change is required.

DottaandPaperclip c0550e7010 fix(server): preserve sessions and defer busy overlap recovery (#18552)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A web server replacement must preserve remote execution and later
task continuation.
> - The active-run handoff now survives deletion of the departing server
home.
> - The next admission still compared disposable instruction and skill
paths as configuration.
> - A native receipt could also settle without the old adapter returning
its terminal metadata.
> - A replacement can also collide with a run row locked by the serving
controller.
> - This change preserves durable session identity and terminal
evidence, and defers locked recovery work so overlap can reach
readiness.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18543, #18366, #9977, #18118.

**What happened?**

A real Codex/Daytona journey replaced both control-plane servers and
deleted their homes. Reads, saves, saved files and active execution
passed. A later useful answer used a new provider session. All four run
records lacked the native terminal contract. The whole qualification
therefore failed. A later attempt also exposed startup failure: the
replacement waited for a row lock held by the serving controller and
aborted on its one-second lock timeout.

**Expected behavior**

An unchanged managed instruction entry and immutable skill version
retain the session across server cache relocation. Actual content and
configuration changes still reset it. A committed native receipt retains
its terminal contract even when the originating adapter never returns. A
busy recovery row defers through the existing scheduler while the
replacement reaches readiness.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the `rolling-web-deployment.runner-codex.daytona.recover-controller`
Product E2E cell with separate controller homes and shared
PostgreSQL/S3. The focused regressions reproduce the failures without a
model call.

## What Changed

- Read the managed instruction entry digest from the company-scoped
durable file head. Do not restore or read the cache for this check.
- Omit disposable instruction paths only when that durable authority
exists. Fingerprint selected immutable skill versions in both runtime
skill inputs.
- Preserve the existing local and external instruction path checks, and
unversioned skill identity.
- Publish the accepted native terminal contract in the same transaction
as the canonical result receipt.
- Skip locked recovery rows and schedule the same run for retry. Avoid
an audit write that would block on the same row. No ownership is
transferred while busy.
- Keep replacement readiness independent of an in-progress skill
selection; migration and cache eviction still require exact pins.
Missing durable skill versions still refuse startup.
- Project only the instruction digest in SQL instead of loading the
entire agent-file manifest per admission.
- Add real PostgreSQL lock contention tests for the issue, run and
coordinator, including the heartbeat startup caller and later claim.
- Limit native test teardown to its owned database on a shared test
host. The old behavior also fails on clean master.
- Add cache-loss, scope, changed-content, changed-version and
finalization regressions. Update the deployment qualification record.

## Verification

- Both focused regressions failed before the source changes.
- All 249 tests pass across `heartbeat-workspace-session`,
`agent-file-durability`, and `paperclip-control-plane-port`.
- Server typecheck and exact-revision build pass.
- Assembled admission ran 59 passing cases but failed during
native-suite teardown. The teardown failure reproduced on clean master.
All 16 native resumption cases and teardown pass after the
database-scope fix.
- All three row-lock regressions fail with the pre-fix lock timeout and
pass with deferred recovery. The full recovery suite passes 74 cases,
including the startup caller; eight Docker-specific cases were not
enabled.
- The real attempt at `d2165dec5d` failed when B aborted on the run
lock. Its credential and bucket were removed; all three provider
sandboxes were independently confirmed absent. The next real attempt at
`aae8a53d01` failed a different readiness gate while a run was preparing
skill pins. That race now has a failing-before regression; all 33
readiness, durable-file and managed-skill tests pass after the fix. Its
owned resources are cleaned. The `a15a12651c` live attempt passed both
web replacements: 765 reads, 78 saves and 78 verified saves with zero
HTTP probe failures. The first three turns preserved the provider
session and native terminal contract. The fourth continuation failed
because a safely suspended remote Runner was treated as live/idle; that
distinct recovery gap is being handled in a follow-up. All three owned
sandboxes were independently confirmed absent. No claim of full Railway
qualification yet.

## Risks

- The new fingerprint shape may reset a session once when upgrading from
older fingerprint metadata. It is stable across subsequent cache
replacements.
- A versioned skill is identified by its immutable selected version;
materialization and admission still enforce availability. Unversioned
skills retain their existing path boundary.
- A native terminal describes the accepted execution result. Workspace
and issue settlement remain separate authorities.
- This does not yet prove the ten-deploy staging campaign, natural
database autosuspension or the production canary.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 Codex, with reasoning, repository editing, shell execution
and live integration-test tools. The exact runtime model variant and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 7751fc3107 fix(server): complete volume-free controller admission and recovery (#18543)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its volume-free web server must admit remote warm execution without
depending on a local disk.
> - Fresh run rows retain the initial legacy label during workspace
preparation.
> - The native runtime selector commits the execution mode later.
> - The earlier guard rejected valid remote runs before that selection.
> - This PR checks storage during preparation and the resolved lifecycle
during runtime selection.
> - Agent-file recovery also has to reconstruct disposable cache paths
from the retained remote directory.
> - The deployment test removes the complete predecessor home, including
immutable caches, to enforce that contract.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18518, #18529, #18533.

**What happened?**

A real Codex/Daytona deployment test failed during setup because the
volume-free workspace guard checked the initial run label. After fixing
admission, controller retirement first failed on an immutable skill
cache. Removing that cache exposed a production recovery failure: B
rejected the saved agent-directory path from A, even though the remote
execution identity was unchanged. The next live attempt recovered that
directory and transferred the same runner, but adoption then tried to
recreate provider launch assets from the deleted controller home.

**Expected behavior**

Allow remote workspace preparation before native selection. Reject
actual legacy and per-turn execution at the runtime boundary. Delete the
entire stopped predecessor home, including immutable caches, without
following links to shared dependencies. B must reconstruct its local
agent-file projection from the exact registered remote lease while
preserving the save baseline and unsaved remote edits. Reattaching an
already-running provider must not prepare a new launch or require the
old launch files. The full backend must recover the admitted
instructions from the matching durable run checkpoint.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the explicit
`rolling-web-deployment.runner-codex.daytona.recover-controller` Product
E2E cell with a complete server/UI build, disposable PostgreSQL/S3, and
an owned Daytona fixture. The new boundary regressions also reproduce
the premature guard and missing runtime rejection without a model call.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The failures were observed on
`247552fe0719dcc92f7b42c50b658be6f624986d`. This branch is based on
`e122478368`.

## What Changed

- Validate Runner and remote workspace authority before runtime
selection without trusting the initial run label.
- Reject resolved legacy execution and local-source fallback, preserving
the native warm-policy check before admission.
- Rebind remote agent-file caches on ephemeral controllers and retrieve
their validated contents without uploading over the retained execution.
Preserve pending saves when the remote collector is unavailable.
- Restore over-quota remote directories without applying save quotas to
run admission; ordinary saves still enforce quotas.
- Skip provider launch asset materialization when adopting an existing
Runner. A real-process regression deletes the old skill/instruction
sources before reattachment.
- Recover admitted system instructions through Runner-owned checkpoint
validation for the same run, session and context digest. Fresh launches
still compose current instructions.
- Make the attention-retention test advance past its database-assigned
deadline, fixing a clean-master clock mismatch.
- Serialize remote collection and cleanup across controllers with an
operation-scoped Postgres advisory lock; fence stale cache-path updates.
- Keep synthetic deployment probe tasks in a separate disposable company
so they cannot block the business completion oracle.
- Share the launcher's directory cleanup with rolling retirement. Reject
a symlink root and skip linked descendants.
- Test admission with real PostgreSQL transactions and cleanup with real
read-only directories and external symlinks.
- Update developer documentation and the canonical qualification record.
Broader deployment acceptance remains in progress.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed.
- All 156 workspace preparation, runtime selection and ephemeral
contract tests passed. Two new regressions failed before the source fix.
- Seven focused Product E2E cleanup/replacement tests and `pnpm
test:e2e:runner:typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm test:run` stopped at an unrelated 15-second chat integration
timeout after 338 passes. That exact test passed in isolation without
increasing its timeout. The later full-suite shards did not run.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit` reported 5,898 passes and 13 failures.
Clean master reproduced 11 failures in unchanged onboarding
expectations, operating receipts, Pi catalog assertions, workflow
bootstrap counts and embedded PostgreSQL startup. The other two workflow
assertions were fixed by the intervening master commit. These failures
are retained, not counted as passes.
- All 122 workspace-preparation tests pass after the reviewed
host-fallback fix. The first broader attempt exposed a test environment
leak; restoring the ephemeral flag between cases resolved it.
- Agent-directory and instruction regressions passed 179 tests. Five
focused cache-loss cases pass: different home, same path on an empty
filesystem, foreign lease, concurrent controller, and missing collector.
- The live fixture at `a18f6b85a3` gracefully stopped A and deleted its
entire home, then failed the 420-second remote reattachment deadline on
the saved local agent-directory path. That failure is retained; exact
owned sandbox cleanup was independently confirmed. The next live attempt
at `e14ca5f3e9` restored the cache and transferred the same runner, but
failed while rematerializing launch assets from A. Both failures are
retained and their owned sandboxes confirmed absent. No active-overlap,
ten-deploy, or production-canary acceptance is claimed.
- All 71 related Runner adoption/recovery cases pass, including the new
removed-context regression (failed before the source fix).
- The revised full agent-directory suite passed 110 cases and failed
three cleanup timing cases. All 20 cleanup/cache-loss cases then passed
in isolation with unchanged timeouts, including over-quota recovery.
- Server and Runner TypeScript checks pass after the latest corrections;
the live retry remains pending.

- The live test at `67714af9ff` adopted the same remote execution after
A was deleted, then failed while the full backend read the retired
instruction bundle. All owned sandboxes were independently confirmed
absent. Its regression now passes with actual backend recovery and no
new thread or turn. All 59 backend factory tests and focused checkpoint
identity tests pass. Runner and server TypeScript checks pass; the exact
committed server build passes. A fresh paid-model retry followed.
- The attention-retention CI timeout reproduced on clean master. The
deadline correction passes all 53 tests in that file with unchanged
timeouts.

- The real `cd690de4d3` run transferred the same runner/session after
deleting A, completed, and completed the next revision. During handoff,
372 reads and 38 saves had zero failures; all 38 saves were verified.
The full attempt was interrupted because the probe's open task
contaminated the business company oracle. This remains incomplete
evidence. The scope regression fails before the fixture fix, then
passes; all nine deployment support tests and E2E typecheck pass. All
three owned sandboxes were confirmed absent and temporary
credentials/storage were cleaned up. A clean corrected attempt is
running.

## Risks

- The runtime guard must still reject legacy and per-turn execution
before dispatch. Tests cover these refusals and a valid resolved warm
policy.
- Directory permission changes apply only during cleanup of stopped,
test-owned homes. Traversal does not follow symlinks. This changes no
production cache permissions.
- Cache reconstruction must not change remote execution authority or
rebase the original save baseline. Tests verify foreign-lease rejection,
preserved receipts, and absence of local-to-remote upload.
- Postgres locking is scoped to active remote file work and adds no idle
polling; local/durable-server locking remains unchanged.
- No schema or public API changes. External conversation exemptions
remain unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 Codex, with reasoning, repository editing, shell execution
and live integration-test tools. The exact runtime model variant and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

Latest real qualification at f5915fdc33: both empty-home replacements
completed with 523 reads, 53 saves and 53 verified saves, zero probe
failures. The active remote execution survived and completed once; saved
project bytes and the later useful answer passed. The full workflow
remains FAILED: the later continuation reset its native/provider session
and the public run row lacked the native terminal contract. These newly
exposed compatibility/projection gaps are tracked in the next
implementation slice; this PR is not a claim of full Railway
qualification. All owned Daytona sandboxes were independently confirmed
absent after cleanup.

DottaandPaperclip 006d5691a6 feat(server): support volume-free web server handoff (#18518)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its web server also owns controller admission and user commands.
> - A rolling deployment starts a replacement before the old server
exits.
> - Shared database state alone does not preserve local agent files,
browser chunks, or in-process commands.
> - This pull request adds an opt-in ephemeral server contract and a
local overlap test.
> - The benefit is a web server that can relinquish traffic and local
files without losing acknowledged work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18403, #18327, #18335, #18341.

**Current behavior**

The control-plane web server still has local agent-file authority and
local command targets. A new container can miss saved bytes or send a
command to the wrong process. An existing browser tab also needs chunks
from its original build.

**Proposed behavior**

Eligible servers share only PostgreSQL, object storage and stable
secrets. A replacement waits for readiness. The old server drains
admitted requests, keeps owner commands available through handoff, and
releases controller leases. Explicit maintenance adopts existing files
before the volume is removed.

**Reason and benefit**

This is the application prerequisite for rolling app-only deployments.
Schema migrations and permanent multi-replica operation are outside this
change.

## What Changed

- Store agent-file manifests in PostgreSQL and immutable bytes in S3.
Treat local roots as disposable projections. Preserve existing
permission checks and edit conflicts.
- Add an explicit migration, eligibility and object-retention command to
the production runtime bundle.
- Add `/api/ready`, admitted-request drain, browser restart signaling
and retained immutable UI chunks.
- Carry transaction-aware work hints across controllers during handoff
and active execution. Keep listeners closed when idle.
- Deliver durable Stop and runtime responses to the execution owner.
Recheck request lifecycle and access before response dispatch.
- Reject local-only configuration in ephemeral mode. Keep the feature
disabled for existing installations by default.
- Add an isolated PostgreSQL/S3/proxy/browser deployment harness with
independent server homes and retained failure evidence.

## Verification

- All CI checks pass on `ce17b95019d3cf1cabd357d19b6d37f96782cc5c`:
workspace typecheck, build, Runner checks, server/general tests and
browser shards. Greptile reviewed the runtime changes at 5/5 with all
findings resolved; the final commit updates maps and the plan.
- Local targeted checks passed: coordinator 27; Stop/recovery 33;
PostgreSQL command delivery 6; route/workspace regressions 8; bootstrap
Stop 1; restart recovery 75. PostgreSQL command tests simulate the
provider edge.
- Local browser proof passed 91 reads and 19 saves; reconnect took
1,013ms. The tab opened Audit from S3 after deletion of A's whole
home/build. This uses compiled workspace code and local-trusted auth,
not released containers or live agents.
- Local workspace typecheck/build passed; current server and runtime
bundle passed. The earlier broad local suite was stopped after three
hours and is not a passing receipt. Its retained failures and isolated
reruns are documented in the plan.
- Stacked #18526 adds stricter graceful-exit proof, an unready
replacement control, live Runner qualification and a Stop handoff
correction. Hosted enablement remains gated on those results and Cloud
#1096. No hosted stack has been enabled.

## Risks

- Apply migration 0422 before enabling the feature. Existing data must
pass each owner's migration and eligibility checks. Do not discard a
volume based on a single migration page.
- Durable manifests remain authoritative after the opt-in is disabled.
Rolling back to a binary that ignores them is unsupported.
- Cold directory restoration and complete shutdown timing still need
qualification before enabling a hosted stack.
- Retained UI assets must cover the supported browser and rollback
window. Cleanup is explicit; no new idle maintenance polling is
introduced.
- This change does not claim production zero downtime or authorize a
fleet-wide enablement.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact serving model ID and
context-window limit are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning,
code editing, shell execution and browser automation.

DottaandPaperclip 1e8e32290c Give metadata project tasks private remote workspaces (#18514)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A task can belong to a project without using that project's files.
> - The specification gives a task without a selected or configured
source its own private folder.
> - The remote source planner instead rejects such a task when its
project has no configured workspace.
> - This stops an ordinary delegated task before native execution
starts.
> - This pull request selects an empty, task-owned remote source for
that narrow default case.
> - Explicit source choices, existing workspace authority, and
repository requirements retain their current checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18504 and #18351. The earlier reference-project fix covered
additional project mentions. This fix covers the task's own
organizational project.

**What happened?**

A task in a project with no configured workspace fails with
`remote_workspace_source_unavailable`. Its project has no workspace
policy, its four workspace selection and binding fields are null, and it
requests no repository, branch, or local folder. The failure occurs
before native runtime selection. A derived project folder exists in the
project facade even when no source is configured; that derived path does
not grant file access.

**Expected behavior**

Use the task's private remote workspace. Keep the project on the task
for organization. Do not adopt the project folder, agent home, or
another repository. Preserve explicit workspace and source requirements.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a project without configured workspaces or a workspace policy.
2. Assign a normal task in that project to a native sandbox agent. Leave
all workspace selections and bindings unset.
3. Start the task with remote workspace storage enabled.
4. On the prior source, observe the source-unavailable error before
allocation. On this source, observe a company-owned remote workspace
whose `sourceIssueId` is the task and whose filesystem project and
source IDs are null.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against the deployed source planner at
`756599e4ea069c9338c320fe8846523d3dfb92a0`. This branch starts at
`987e0932bf66e703750cd04698b3c7e8993580a7`; the relevant planner and
preparation inputs at that parent match the deployed source.

**Deployment mode**

Native sandbox execution with remote workspace storage. The regression
tests use real PostgreSQL with the current migrations.

## What Changed

- Allow an implicit empty source only after a company-scoped query
confirms the project has no workspace rows and no explicit workspace
policy.
- Keep existing bindings, pending selections, explicit source choices,
Git requirements, and local folder choices outside this default.
- Add real PostgreSQL source controls and an assembled heartbeat
preparation control through workspace reservation and the environment
acquisition boundary.
- Clarify the existing task-owned folder contract in the implementation
specification.

## Verification

- Causal RED: the new source control and the assembled allocation
control both fail against the unchanged deployed planner with the
observed source-unavailable error.
- GREEN: 19 focused PostgreSQL controls pass across the source planner
and assembled heartbeat preparation suites. The allocation control
checks the persisted company/task owner, null filesystem project IDs,
private remote root, original organizational project, and unchanged
project and host sentinel files.
- Negative controls retain configured repository sources and reject a
configured source without a URL, an explicit missing source, an unknown
selection, a required project policy, a required branch, an explicit
local folder, a foreign project, and unsupported read-only project
sources.
- Current-source transitive TypeScript checks and `node
scripts/check-maps.mjs` pass. The map check is structural evidence only.
- Fresh exact-head Greptile is 5/5 with zero unresolved threads at
`680461e180232d0f4a057528617e39b64b4f0e3a`.
[Review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18514#issuecomment-6552946468).
The official [Paperclip
assessment](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18514#issuecomment-6552931726)
is 4/5 and remains recorded unchanged. A separate non-author source
review found no actionable issue after the full producer/consumer trace,
with manual confidence 4/5. Neither static review ran the tests or
proved deployed native execution.
- Full repository tests, build, and type checks passed in [canonical
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41269733360).
All 59 checks are terminal: 55 success, three skipped, and the official
Paperclip check neutral; no failed or pending checks. The successful
build checked out merge preview
`03dce9f9bc708e778dd214ca85dfa1ba58e0a806`, with parents current main
`9dbbfa4fb298448db83ace946b338bff321d8b2a` and this exact head. Its four
helper blobs match this head; the four added mainline document-harness
paths remain unchanged. Local tests use source aliases with the current
DB, shared, and Runner source, rather than borrowed generated
declarations.
- Actual QA staging qualification is pending deployment. The previous
failed journey and cleanup evidence remain failed; these local checks do
not relabel them.

### Review follow-up

- Fresh workspace retry: the normal producer sets `taskDirectory:true`
for this empty-source case.
[Heartbeat](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/680461e180232d0f4a057528617e39b64b4f0e3a/server/src/services/heartbeat.ts#L2288-L2296)
separates the saved filesystem project from the organizational project.
[Environment
selection](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/680461e180232d0f4a057528617e39b64b4f0e3a/server/src/services/heartbeat/environment-selection.ts#L506)
selects the fresh task directory. Preparation passes that flag, and the
planner's existing task-directory return runs before the new binding
guard. The proposed fresh failure omits that producer flag. The existing
fresh-intent and binding checks stay strict. This is source evidence,
not an extra runtime test claim.
- Empty policy object: the [public project policy
schema](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/680461e180232d0f4a057528617e39b64b4f0e3a/packages/shared/src/validators/project.ts#L24-L43)
requires `enabled:boolean`. The project PATCH schema makes outer fields
optional and does not make nested policy fields optional. A clear uses
`null`; `{}` is rejected. A defensive parser's treatment of unknown
stored data does not establish a valid `{}` producer. Keep the narrow
fallback closed for non-null policies.
- Boolean grouping: JavaScript evaluates the existing predicate as
`sourceId || (projectId && !implicitTaskDirectory)`. The explicit-source
and metadata-default controls cover those branches. The optional
parentheses suggestion does not identify a behavior change; this
reviewed source remains frozen.
- The official 4/5 assessment and its static verification limits remain
visible. The independent manual review withdrew its initial fresh-retry
concern after the full producer trace. Actual staging qualification
still requires deployment and a new real journey result.

## Risks

- The new query runs only for a source-less default admission. It reads
one authorized project and uses `NOT EXISTS` for that project's source
rows. It adds no recurring poll, write, provider call, or local folder
access.
- A project with an explicit workspace policy remains subject to the
prior source requirement. This conservative rule does not reinterpret
policy fields.
- The allocation control uses the real planner and PostgreSQL
reservation. It stops at environment acquisition, so it proves workspace
ownership rather than provider filesystem execution. Live staging
qualification is still required.
- No API, database schema, permission, model, budget, run limit, or QA
journey oracle changes are included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. This session does not expose a more precise backend model ID

DottaandPaperclip 756599e4ea fix(workspaces): keep project references without source folders (#18504)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents can receive project references in normal task and chat
messages.
> - Remote workspace preparation checks those references before a native
run starts.
> - A project with no workspace source has no folder to attach.
> - The current check rejects that project as an unsupported read-only
folder.
> - This pull request keeps the project reference and reports the
missing source without attaching files.
> - Projects with configured sources keep the current remote access
restrictions.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18403 and #18351. This is a product prerequisite for the hiring
journey. It changes no journey code.

**What happened?**

A native chat run failed before execution when its message referenced an
authorized project with zero configured workspaces. The error was
`workspace_validation_failed`: “This remote runtime cannot safely
provide read-only project folders.” The project had no repository or
checkout. The failed QA run and original grade remain preserved.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the task workspace when a referenced project has no configured
source. Report that no project folder was attached. Continue to reject
configured cross-project sources that require an unsupported read-only
mount.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use a native remote task folder with multi-project references
enabled.
2. Mention a same-company project that has no configured workspaces in a
normal comment.
3. Prepare the run workspace.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `b889ac39b7fbed558c5f4cfbbc2b73c4ca916810` with the real
workspace resolver and PostgreSQL migrations. The staging failure was
recorded in workflow
[41253428446](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/actions/runs/41253428446).

## What Changed

- Distinguish authorized project references with a known empty workspace
list from configured sources.
- Return a resolution warning and failure receipt for an absent source.
Do not attach a folder or create a workspace.
- Preserve project authorization, company filtering, the disabled
remote-source gate, and the read-only restriction for configured
sources.
- Add real PostgreSQL regression cases and document the reference
contract.

## Verification

- Causal RED on unchanged `b889`: the metadata-only project case failed
with the same read-only error. The real repository negative already
passed.
- GREEN: eight PostgreSQL cases pass. They cover an absent source with
the remote-source switch both on and off, a saved existing workspace, a
repository, a configured source without a repository URL, the disabled
remote gate, mixed references, and a foreign company.
- The existing assembled workspace test also passes: a real read-only
project source is rejected before reservation or environment
acquisition. Total: 9 selected tests pass; 119 unrelated tests were not
selected.
- Tests use PostgreSQL 17 and the current source migrations. The local
Vitest configuration selects current DB, shared, and Runner sources
because the borrowed dependency output predates the remote workspace
feature.
- Current-source TypeScript checking of both changed TypeScript files
and their dependency graph passes. It uses the repository's real Express
actor declaration.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check` pass.
- Canonical reproduction: `pnpm exec vitest run --project server
server/src/services/heartbeat/remote-workspace-source.test.ts` with the
existing embedded PostgreSQL support or
`PAPERCLIP_TEST_POSTGRES_ADMIN_URL` set to a disposable test cluster.
- Historical `0f2b` passed all 59 CI checks. A separate non-author
manual source audit reported no actionable findings at confidence 4/5;
it did not rerun tests or qualify live QA. The official 4/5 review
requested a flag-scope test and saved-workspace control. This
test-and-documentation update adds both, with production source bytes
unchanged.
- Current-head canonical [CI
41258109282](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41258109282)
passed: all 59 checks are terminal (55 success, 3 skipped, 1 neutral),
with no failures or pending checks. Build and typecheck passed. The
eight-case regression file passed in the canonical Linux server 1/12
lane. Its checkout `6f69ccca70d10e78885b133fb54a80940bf175a5` has
parents `b889` and this exact head; its tree equals this head.
- Fresh Greptile and official Ponytail assessments each give 5/5 for
exact `27660027d12ff31427d611019e90dabfb6d8503a`, with zero unresolved
review threads. The separate manual audit remains 4/5.
- Live QA remains pending on a reviewed app build. This regression proof
does not claim that the hiring journey passed.

## Risks

A project source could be added after project hydration. This change
uses the same run-preparation source snapshot as the existing
authorization and source check. It only permits a positively known empty
workspace list. Configured sources, unknown shapes, foreign projects,
and existing execution authority keep their current checks. No schema,
credentials, provider, model, budget, or filesystem permissions change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The session does not expose a more specific
backend model ID or fixed context window. Used reasoning, repository
tools, TypeScript and test execution.

DottaandPaperclip 66e8fab944 fix: complete native chat responses and improve API discovery (#18364)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip must perform work and report its outcome accurately.
> - A chat response and its delegated or operator-owned work are
separate stages.
> - Native chat contracts instead required literal completion of the
user's whole request.
> - Agents kept searching or waiting even when a truthful handoff should
finish the response.
> - OpenCode also has separate acknowledgement backlog and
empty-response failure paths.
> - This PR aligns chat completion with its current stage and makes
OpenCode completion truthful.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18098 for retained OpenCode evidence and #18377 for separate eval
setup, oracle and reporting repairs.

**What happened?** Real pinned OpenCode 1.18.34 reproduced an MCP
timeout behind 800 text fragments. Pilot
[41222196525](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41222196525)
separately exposed a fabricated successful reply after a reasoning-only
response. Later restart attempts timed out without an answer. Their
native criterion literally required restarting the instance, although
the chat instructions and authority required an operator handoff.
General authority guidance alone did not resolve it.

**Expected behavior:** A standing chat completes its current authorized
response. It performs and verifies permitted actions, verifies delegated
handoffs, or explains the specific unavailable action and operator path.
The worker's task remains separate. Ordinary execution tasks must still
complete their requested work. Empty provider responses must not become
invented success.

**Version and reproduction:** Actual pinned OpenCode and native Rust
Runner, with retained full-stack AWS attempts. Product baseline master
`51ea624344`. This PR adds no historical catalog to master.

## What Changed

- Build standing-chat completion contracts from the server-owned
conversation identity. Scope each current request to the response stage;
preserve request text, criterion IDs, order, human-response scope and
source revisions. Require verified authorized actions and truthful
handoffs. Ordinary task contracts stay strict. Existing admitted inputs
retain their saved contract during recovery; new contract content uses
the existing revision/hash mechanism.
- Guide prospective defaults to their owning resource and preserve
existing work unless backfill is requested. Guide unavailable
board/operator operations to the supported handoff. These are general
chat instructions with no eval identities or expected answers.
- Batch adjacent assistant text for at most 50 ms and 4,000 UTF-8 bytes.
Preserve text, metadata and order; flush before non-text frames and
shutdown.
- Give an empty OpenCode response one correction within its existing
turn, model, reasoning, context and deadline. Accept actual completed
answer parts with incomplete headers. Preserve actual active tool work,
bound idle evidence grace and fail truthfully if correction stays empty.
- Reject empty OpenCode terminals in Rust without actual prose or an
accepted semantic result. Never invent successful replies or evidence.
Refresh generated project-discovery contracts.
- Preserve accurate public API-discovery descriptions for existing
project defaults and managed instance restart operations, including
their field scope and authority limits.

## Verification

**Qualified: [pilot
41256592937](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41256592937)
passes 3/3, with all 35 independent checks passing.**

| Case | Checks | Full case duration | Evidence and cleanup |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Instance restart | 9/9 | 140.1 s | complete |
| Project defaults | 11/11 | 204.2 s | complete |
| Project work | 15/15 | 204.0 s | complete |

All three are original-attempt results from source
`c51e079f7f2364305b131ffd549e263ff78c5335`, containing the exact product
files from `13c2b61f31d873a475ea0c3c026b19926ff42301`. Actual saved
conversation contracts were inspected, as were ordinary native worker
contracts where present. Each protected archive includes the actual API
state and final PNG; cleanup completes. Original queries,
`openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017`, finite case clocks,
concurrency one and zero eval retries are preserved. Earlier passes do
not transfer into this qualification.

Both current heads pass all checks: product **62** (56 success, one
neutral, five skipped), catalog **56** (54 success, one neutral, one
skipped). Both have exact-head Greptile **5/5**, zero unresolved review
threads and clean mergeability. The three trusted private-evidence
protocol files remain byte-identical to the dispatch workflow. Raw
evidence stays protected.

- **2,044 API discovery tests pass.** Red controls showed that “restart
instance” selected unrelated drain/settings operations and “save project
defaults” selected repository replacement. Accurate public summaries now
rank the existing operations correctly; route registration preserves
descriptions. No endpoint, permission or field behavior changes.
- **112 real-database, authenticated HTTP, native Runner and OpenAPI
consumer tests pass locally**, using disposable task-owned Docker
PostgreSQL. It was removed afterward; shared IPC was untouched. These
cover persisted contract selection, admitted native input and the model
envelope together. The isolated CI suites also pass.
- **77 focused contract/input/context tests pass.** Red controls catch
the wrong conversation predicate; canonical identity requires both agent
and user IDs, including the actual heartbeat projection. Ordinary tasks,
agent-only issues and planner tasks remain strict. Coalesced requests
preserve criterion identities, source hashes and human-response scope.
- **144 OpenCode driver tests pass**; native core **441 pass, one
ignored**; packaging **56 pass, six skipped**. Server typecheck and
build pass.
- Real pinned OpenCode/native Runner: a delayed 25-second
acknowledgement completes within the original 30-second MCP deadline.
The text-fragment control changes 817 notifications / 54.1 seconds /
timeout to 45 / 19.0 seconds / accepted finish. Separate fast,
six-minute and real authenticated API probes complete 32 tool calls plus
finish. These do not reproduce every remaining historical MCP timeout,
and no common cause is claimed for all such failures.

Retained failures remain attributed to their original source. Earlier
runs exposed fabricated empty-response success, prospective-default
backfill, a literal whole-task chat criterion, fixture readiness and
oracle/reporting defects. The immediately preceding
[41250502608](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41250502608),
product `c0bf249807` / source `7b1de24ce1`, is **1/3**: work 15/15;
restart 4/9 with the repaired contract actually admitted but no answer;
defaults timed out before settlement, then exceeded the unchanged 256
MiB original-evidence allowance. Defaults domain behavior on that
attempt remains inconclusive. #18377 retains the full attempt ledger,
including missing archives and pre-paid cancellations. The fresh 3/3
establishes these selected outcomes; it does not establish full-catalog
reliability.

## Risks

The shared contract change applies to standing native chats across
providers. It changes model instructions and completion scope, while
permission, approval and review gates remain enforced by their existing
owners. Incorrect model claims remain possible; the product evals
independently require actual mutations, native work and delivery. The
correction adds at most one provider request within the existing
deadline; text batching can delay adjacent text by 50 ms. Three
qualified attempts do not establish full-catalog reliability.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository inspection, tool use, code
execution and live eval tooling. Exact hosted model revision and
context-window size are not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip 492d537340 fix(native): recover controllers across webserver replacement (#18343)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native execution runs in a remote Runner while the webserver owns
its controller.
> - Encrypted PRP checkpoints and session snapshots already survive a
webserver restart in Postgres.
> - Ordinary warm and per-turn admission still needs local markers and
supervisor metadata to find that state.
> - Replacing the webserver with an empty native controller directory
can therefore lose a usable retained session.
> - This change adds bounded recovery metadata to the existing snapshot
transaction and reconstructs local projections from the selected durable
source.
> - The benefit is native execution continuity across webserver
replacement, with the existing ownership and agent lifecycle policies.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Native remote controller recovery and retained-session continuation
during a webserver upgrade.

**Subsystem affected**

server/ — native runtime, checkpoint persistence, recovery scheduling
and internal upgrade reporting. Product E2E qualification also changes.

**Current behavior**

Without both the local PRP marker and supervisor file, normal
continuation can return before discovering the saved Postgres
checkpoint. The snapshot already exists in Postgres, but its local reuse
compatibility envelope cannot be reconstructed.

**Proposed behavior**

Select the existing durable source, validate its identity and ownership,
restore its PRP state and supervisor projection, then use normal
authenticated admission. Missing or inconsistent evidence holds
recovery. It does not authorize fresh provider work.

**Reason and benefit**

A replacement webserver must recover active execution and later continue
its retained session without the old server's native files. This is one
component of deployment continuity. HTTP traffic switching, workspace
storage migration and Railway rollout remain separate.

**Breaking changes**

No new public endpoint, schema migration or database pool. The private
run-profile envelope is additive. Disk-independent rollback also
requires a reader for the staged controller format and compact
checkpoint part; the first production release containing these readers
is the floor. Older file-backed sessions need an owner checkpoint or the
bounded internal importer.

**Additional context**

Related foundations: #17401, #17916, #17254, #14621, #14622. The
implementation contract and open acceptance gates are in [the dated
plan](doc/plans/2026-10-30-native-controller-checkpoints.md).

## What Changed

- Persist a versioned recovery envelope, at most 4 KiB, beside the
redacted session snapshot in its existing transaction. Keep it out of
public run projections.
- Compare frozen admission separately from prepared attachment
instructions during staged recovery, preserving exact
template/identity/authority checks.
- Bound the existing lazy checkpoint pool at three connections after
measured two-slot burst backlog; keep request/renewal capacities and SQL
operation counts unchanged. The tuning is a separate commit.
- Discover and restore the exact selected retained source without local
native markers. Preserve the 32-candidate window, progress barriers and
current authority checks.
- Fence snapshot and result writes. Acquire coordinator, issue and run
locks in order and check expiry after lock waits. Combine snapshot
ownership/read work into one statement.
- Reuse existing recovery deadlines and drain/resume scheduling.
Retained-owner waits preserve the original unstarted run and actual
lease deadline. Stop, ownership and provider-progress fences precede
deferral. Add bounded native evidence reporting, retained-source import
and retention protection.
- Admit a settled warm source with an authenticated idle goal-read
suffix while retaining active-work and mixed-authority holds.
- Permit lifecycle `turn.stop` checkpoints after accepted results under
existing ownership fences. Claim the existing successor coordinator
before retiring the old warm session, and stage shared attachments only
after verified retirement. Preserve omitted isolated-home defaults and
existing fresh skill-selection order during recovery without hiding real
configuration changes.
- Carry the exact durable six-field PRP binding during active recovery
after a healthy warm handoff. Keep the Runner mismatch guard and
preserve opaque attachment IDs.
- Preserve an already verified active or idle warm process during remote
preparation; revalidate its proof/liveness and retain later
authenticated PRP attachment. Ordinary resumed leases retain suspension
checks.
- Drain retained source events under their original authority, reconcile
immutable source accounting and block unknown source tool dispatch
before target work.
- Persist compact staged handoff intent through authenticated adoption
and recover direct/listener command-loss windows without another Runner
or duplicate attachment.
- Rebuild suspended lifecycle receipts for resumed prepared tasks, and
retry missing lifecycle reads after partial PRP materialization without
overwriting contradictory evidence.
- Add normal warm/per-turn diskless continuation coverage, real Postgres
races and SQL-cost checks. Add a reproducible paired load workload.
- Give only the explicit outage fixture a 15-minute provider idle
window, with a red/green catalog regression preserving all production
timing and lifecycle policies.
- Publish the goal-less task-session pointer in the existing
post-acceptance terminal checkpoint transaction, with current ownership,
accepted-result, reset and newer-progress fences. Keep a private bound
receipt so late completion cannot duplicate or resurrect publication.
- Use a retained warm sandbox in the dedicated continuity fixture, and
accept an exact output token followed by an explanation. Keep the strict
identity oracle.
- Extend the explicit Daytona cell to a five-minute active outage and
another replacement after completion. Require retained provider
identity, a new tool receipt and a useful follow-up result. Add an owned
loopback Postgres E2E fixture for hosts that cannot start embedded
Postgres.

## Verification

**Merge recommendation — `fc68584ce6231a02e47ecd743f55b036ccea034f`:
ready for the qualified native-controller component.** Full CI, fresh
review, local application paths, controlled performance qualification
and the strict live Linux/Daytona case pass. Independent resource
cleanup is complete. Broader rollout, browser reconnection and the
unexecuted transport/platform combinations remain integration gates.
Integrated 484 passed full local recursive typecheck/build and ordinary
active→completion→cache-loss→C component qualification. Fresh review
then found a valid attached-wake failure: preparation appends attachment
instructions before the verifier compares execution to the frozen
admission. 9f4 fixes that by separately checking the pre-preparation
admission and exact prepared execution. Both hashes are captured
privately per admission; the full template, identity, configuration and
authority checks remain. Its regression fails before the fix; 36 focused
cases, 42 staged source/target cases and server typecheck pass
afterward. The review thread is resolved. Exact-head full CI passes
([run
41168228822](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41168228822):
48 successful jobs, one intended skip); the complete `pnpm test:run`
partitions are forced, with the five native suites in the Runner lane.
This is not a claim that an unsharded local command passed. The fresh
exact-head Greptile check succeeds with 5/5 and all six threads
resolved.

The original two-connection database comparison closes **steady PASS and
burst FAIL**. Every relative CPU/WAL/request-p99 gate passes and all
operations/ownership remain correct, but candidate arm 3 drains in
1,015.99 ms and baseline arm 4 in 1,059.67 ms against the unchanged
1,000 ms absolute gate. Those results remain failed. A separate 2→3→4→2
diagnostic reproduces drain times 1,051.57 / 956.79 / 882.02 / 1,065.72
ms: three is the smallest tested passing cap, and the repeated two-cap
failure survives run-order/cache effects.

Separately reviewable `fc68584ce6` changes the existing lazy checkpoint
pool default to three connections. Request capacity stays ten and
liveness two; idle release, shutdown fencing, transaction counts and
pool count are unchanged. Thirteen DB lifecycle/cap tests and DB
typecheck pass. Full recursive typecheck/build pass at exact fc68584,
with the matching server build stamp. The final paired native
feature-cost comparison explicitly uses the **same cap-three policy and
common current DB factory in both variants**; its baseline is
controlled, not the unmodified historical cap-two configuration.
Original gates and workload counts remain unchanged. The one strict
Linux/Daytona case started at 04:40:56 UTC only after both new profiles
passed; it passed on the first attempt with all 49 workflow checks.
Independent cleanup confirms all three owned sandboxes absent, owned
Postgres/controllers/observer gone, VM terminated, root volume absent
and ephemeral SSH key/agent removed.

**Final controlled cap-three qualification: PASS.** Baseline native
implementation `59da15066a` and candidate `fc68584ce6` use the same
current DB factory and checkpoint policy (request/liveness/checkpoint =
10/2/3). Eight 65-second ABBA arms cover 300 controllers and 10,000
historical tasks. All correctness, absolute and 10% relative gates pass;
original cap-two failures remain unchanged.

| Steady | 542.40 → 554.83 (+2.29%) | 1509.01 → 1558.27 (+3.26%) |
107.11 → 111.90 (+4.48%) | 26.35 ms |
| Burst | 1036.36 → 1063.11 (+2.58%) | 4153.12 → 4317.64 (+3.96%) |

Every matched arm preserves operation/statement/transaction counts,
including 3,900 PRP and 3,900 snapshot transactions. All three actual
pools are included; there are zero lost owners, missed lease deadlines,
dropped operations or errors. Peak Postgres CPU is 18.31%/9.47% of two
cores and memory 614.29/684.42 MiB (steady/burst). The benchmark uses
one Node process simulating 300 controllers; it does not qualify
two-webserver overlap, HTTP latency or hosted capacity. Its observer SQL
contributes to measured database CPU. The original unmodified cap-two
baseline is separately retained as failed; this cap-three comparison is
explicitly controlled.

The exact final-source 8/512/8,192-chunk test also passes: zero recovery
SQL, transactions or changed rows in each text-only interval, zero idle
SQL, seven lifecycle transactions and twelve changed rows per sample.
Existing lease traffic remains separate. The final ordinary managed
application replay passes active recovery, completion, native-cache
removal and C continuation; its UNKNOWN local debug-daemon provenance
and partial instruction-observer limits remain recorded. The live case
uses the attested Linux producer instead.


**Live qualification: PASS, one attempt, no retries.** Campaign
`native-controller-retained-fix-fc68584ce6-ec2-20261031T044055Z` started
04:40:56 UTC on the exact final Linux webserver source; suite definition
hash `12f9bb97823c1537e43f0398e7cddf39890f77bce7b413ca4dfd944f4a30e5d5`.
The existing immutable image and attested Bookworm Runner artifact are
unchanged.

- A was SIGKILLed and its native cache discarded. B started after
300,149 ms, naturally acquired generation 2, authenticated at 316,624 ms
and resumed at 317,682 ms within the original 420,000 ms grace. The same
active run, Runner, provider PID/start fingerprint and one
submitted/started/accepted turn were preserved; one final
result/terminal and workspace finalization completed, with no
retry/recovery action.
- After active and queued completion, B was SIGKILLed and its native
cache discarded again. C received exactly one ordinary task-comment API
follow-up, completed a new tool and produced a useful reply while
preserving native/provider/Runner identities. This closes the earlier
failed post-C gate. A separate C OS-process PID field was not exported;
the physical-PID proof is specifically A→B.
- Four distinct results were accepted and published; all four
finalizations committed at attempt 1, all four accounting-v2 projections
settled, and the task-session pointer advanced to C. The coordinator
independently checked these facts and all 49 canonical checks against
the sanitized receipts.
- Canonical cleanup passed and independent checks confirmed three exact
sandbox 404s plus complete inventory/zero owned remnants, no owned PG or
controller/observer processes, EC2 terminated, root volume absent, and
the ephemeral SSH key/agent removed by 04:54:25 UTC.

Live scope is classic remote Codex warm continuity with non-native
storage dependencies available. Prepared-task completed B→C, full
per-turn application disk loss, browser reconnection, two-server load
and overall Railway/HTTP continuity were not live-qualified here.
Earlier failed campaigns and the original cap-two burst failure remain
failed historical evidence. A report-renderer cache setup failure was
preserved; the normal sanitizer subsequently succeeded with an explicit
cache path and a new output directory, without changing validators.


The repair keeps retained events under their original six-field
authority until persistence and accounting accept them. Unknown semantic
effects stay unresolved. A compact staged target survives source
bootstrap, cached-command delivery and authenticated handoff, including
an uncertain commit response. Direct and same-guest-listener recovery
require the verified original Runner and the exact endpoint. Target
snapshot publication marks readiness in memory, with retirement
coalesced into an existing command write. Headers contain only the
staged descriptor/digest; a prequeue template is written once as a
changed checkpoint part and then recovered from the existing
command/receipt. No second session snapshot transaction, streaming SQL
path, new pool or recurring idle scan is added.

| Current repair gate | Evidence and scope |
| --- | --- |
| Source-tail regression | Real Runner protocol RED reproduced
attachment rejection. Frozen core/transport pass five source-tail cases:
source usage attribution, held persistence/no premature ACK, lost commit
response plus cache loss, unknown semantic hold and accounting rejection
hold. |
| Handoff loss windows | Direct and listener modes pass
queued/prepared/activated/completed boundaries (eight cells), preserving
the actual Runner/provider process. Missing adoption proof and changed
endpoints reject recovery. |
| Compact storage | A 31 KiB attachment grant writes its separate part
once, leaves it unchanged across source snapshots and removes it at
queueing. Headers do not duplicate the grant. |
| Accounting | 21 real-Postgres usage tests and 19 source-binding tests
pass. Recovery hydrates immutable source receipts without resetting
their producer or billing classification; conflicting/incomplete usage
holds. |
| Admission and malformed evidence | Driver 16, staged evidence 42,
restart classifier 27 and source usage 19 focused cases pass. Four
malformed-file regressions pass at d6a7, whose executor is
byte-identical at 484, and server typecheck passes. Full executor file:
990 pass; 16 embedded-Postgres `initdb` setup failures before
assertions, retained separately. |
| Required checks | Exact fc68584 recursive typecheck and build pass
locally, with matching server stamp. Forced full CI succeeds (48 jobs
pass, one intended skip); all PR checks are clean. Maps/token gates pass
for their unchanged source surfaces. Fresh exact-head Greptile is 5/5,
all six threads resolved. |
| Ordinary application path | Exact fc68584 managed component passes
active recovery after natural expiry, completion, native-cache loss and
ordinary C continuation. Production bytes match before/after; temporary
fixtures restored and owned DB/services cleaned. UNKNOWN local
debug-daemon/partial instruction-observer limits remain; the separate
live case uses the attested Linux producer. |
| Producer | Locked Bookworm build from exact 5b7 Rust tree
d03e494217, equal to final fc68584 Rust
source. SHA-256
65b8f8cfdd6099e9ad24f1ca154e8a260777269cc82f6e23c6e6a180c531eaaf;
38,515,328 bytes. Actual Debian 12 execution and live admission pass.
Controller/admission/DB changes do not relabel the producer source. |
| Historical cap-two comparison | Exact 59da baseline vs 5b7 candidate,
300 controllers/10,000 history, ABBA 4×65 s per mode, all three actual
pools and real snapshots. Steady CPU/op 541.36→554.64 µs (+2.45%);
WAL/op 1512.13→1560.99 B (+3.23%); DB-request p99 102.78→105.99 ms
(+3.12%): PASS. Burst CPU/op +4.71%, WAL/op +5.29%, p99 −0.10% pass
relative gates, but absolute drains above fail. Identical operation/SQL
counts, zero lost leases/drops/errors. One Node process simulates 300
controllers; this does not qualify two-webserver overlap or HTTP
capacity. |
| Live acceptance | Strict final-source Linux classic Codex case passes
1/1 on attempt 1, all 49 checks. Active recovery within grace and useful
retained C continuation succeed; four
accepted/published/committed/settled outcomes. Independent provider,
PG/process, VM/root and SSH cleanup complete. Prepared/task and broader
rollout limits are explicit above. |

**Historical qualification snapshot through `9eb9ac6`.** The head at
this snapshot was `9eb9ac6f9e312f3ebe8040f5a7565e88ae8824f3`. Server and
Runner package sources are byte-identical to `283e05ffaa`; the two later
commits change the explicitly scoped qualification and its documentation
only. It includes master through the storage-owner fix
`45a3a92e6dc52d20923b9aa34a22fee2ec5443f9` (#18357). At that snapshot,
CI/review passed but the strict post-C native recovery gate failed; the
PR stayed draft and required another native repair. Prior `39a4343` CI
and review passed, but its full live workflow failed; that grade remains
unchanged. The first repaired `435ccd2` live attempt failed before any
injected outage. It exposed a legitimate terminal snapshot before result
acceptance; no accepted result ID or publication receipt was observed.
Its canonical report remains 0/1 `candidate_failure`, with cleanup
passed and independent provider absence confirmed. `0862062` defers
publication until result acceptance and fixes the fresh review's
coordinator/issue lock-order finding. Both failures have deterministic
real-Postgres regressions. The `0862062` live attempt then proved
accepted-result publication but failed active recovery: a resumed-lease
preparation guard demanded suspension after the exact live Runner was
already verified for adoption. `64c0b746` preserves that verified
active/idle-warm process, revalidates its proof/liveness, and keeps
ordinary suspension checks and later PRP authentication. Its live run
passed preparation but exposed a second active-warm boundary: all
durable binding fields matched except opaque turn/item attachment IDs,
which the server had regenerated. `7a203274` carries the complete
verified six-field binding and keeps the strict Runner mismatch guard.
Its cloud case then passed active adoption, completion, publication and
accounting. The queued continuation exposed accepted-result retirement
writes and an implicit-home fingerprint drift; both are fixed with
deterministic regressions in `39a4343` before this fresh full
qualification.

The prior live case exposed a real publication gap. A goal-less native
turn could persist its accepted result and terminal snapshot before
provider cleanup, while the task-session pointer was still empty. Normal
later admission then selected a fresh session. The fix publishes that
pointer and a private bound receipt in the **existing post-acceptance
terminal checkpoint transaction**, before cleanup. Earlier terminal
observations persist without a handled receipt or continuation pointer.
No result-acceptance or snapshot transaction was added. The late
completion path recognizes the receipt. This also prevents a late
callback from restoring a pointer after a user reset. Goal/control
publication keeps its existing owner.

The dedicated Daytona fixture now uses the existing warm/reusable
environment. Its sandbox, Runner and provider storage must survive. The
former generic per-turn fixture disposed the sandbox after completion
and kept provider-history backup bytes under the discarded directory.
Whole per-turn disk-loss acceptance therefore has a separate
provider-backup storage dependency. It remains distinct from the passing
native per-turn component checks with backup storage available. The
60-second lease, 300-second outage and 420-second grace are unchanged.

| Gate | Current repair evidence |
| --- | --- |
| Assembled regression | Baseline fails with an accepted result and
terminal snapshot but a NULL task pointer while real provider cleanup is
held. The fix passes normal continuation and reset cases, with no
pointer seeding. Exact merged `92b7447` passed 2/2 twice, including
after normal package TypeScript output refresh. Production files are
byte-identical at frozen `435ccd2`. |
| Persistence and concurrency | 19 helper/transaction cases and all 59
existing control-port cases pass on `0862062`. They cover bound result
IDs, reset/newer epochs, Stop, lock waits and expiry, receipt replay,
missing stubs, foreign bindings and atomic 4 KiB rollback. Existing
snapshot transaction count stays one. The new tests reproduce the exact
live missing-result-ID error and the inverse replay/status lock order
against `435ccd2`, then pass after the correction. Replayed results
still reject stale generations. |
| Completion | All 32 completion-boundary tests pass on merged
`92b7447`; the source is unchanged at `435ccd2`. Native result-shaped
session metadata is preserved. |
| Qualification fixture | A valid review report reproduced three
rejected correct replies. Exact token-boundary matching fixes them. 140
focused E2E/catalog cases and Product E2E typecheck pass. Wrong tokens,
marker prefixes/suffixes and wrong authors remain rejected;
retained-identity checks are unchanged. |
| Required checks | Full recursive typecheck and standard build passed
at `435ccd2`. Both exact commands also passed on `0862062`, with its
exact server build stamp; both also pass on `7a203274`, with its exact
server build stamp. Fresh `0862062` Greptile passed 5/5, with zero
unresolved threads. The `64c0b746` normal CI then passed all 49 jobs (48
success, one expected skip) and Greptile passed 5/5 with zero unresolved
findings. The `7a203274` normal CI also passed 48 jobs with one expected
skip, with fresh Greptile 5/5 and zero unresolved findings. Current
`39a4343` recursive typecheck and standard build both pass with
persisted exit codes and its exact build stamp; fresh Greptile is 5/5
with zero unresolved findings. Its normal CI completed successfully: 48
jobs passed and one expected job skipped. The fresh live result remains
separately failed. The `0862062` normal CI had 46 passing jobs, one
expected skip, one worker communication failure and its aggregate
failure; GitHub states the self-hosted runner lost communication. No
failed assertion or specific OOM/spot cause was established, and no
blind retry was used. |
| PostgreSQL supplement | One corrected all-pool pair at the preceding
repair passed 300-controller/10,000-history correctness and absolute
gates. SQL 76,590→75,990; transactions 9,013→8,713; UPDATE rows 11,613
each; 300 correct pointer writes each. PG CPU 31.99→30.46 s, WAL
70.36→67.87 MB, request p99 100.98→103.12 ms. This is one pair, not a
repeated improvement claim or an exact `0862062` CPU measurement. Its
two later changes defer premature publication and reorder existing
locks; they add no transaction, stream/idle writer, pool or timer. The
first collapsed-pool attempt remains invalid and retained. This is not
an exact final-head CPU/WAL measurement; later fixes change ordering,
identity selection and in-memory skill replacement without adding
snapshot transactions, pools, stream writes or idle SQL. |
| Live publication proof (`0862062`) | Baseline run
`06fcc806-f186-4190-9b57-087b61d75533` accepted result
`58f912dc-94d9-4b4d-bd3d-d5f689c83fd3`; the publication receipt names
the same result, the task pointer has parameters and `lastRunId`
matches, and the normalized native identity matches the following active
run. Accounting v2 settled. |
| Active recovery (`0862062`) | **FAIL.** SIGKILL/cache discard at
23:07:28.666 UTC; hold 300,000.859 ms; B ready at 308,896.486 ms;
natural generation-2 ownership at 312,906 ms. At about 319 s,
preparation failed `runner_harness_state_mismatch:
resumed_not_suspended`. No authenticated after-receipt passed within 420
s. Exact original Runner PID 668/start/fingerprint was independently
still alive; provider auto-stop was 15 minutes. No retained C follow-up
qualified. Canonical 0/1 `cleanup_failure`/cleanup-failed report remains
failed; subsequent independent cleanup deleted all three owned resources
with exact 404s and confirmed full intended-account inventory with zero
owned resources. |
| Verified adoption preparation (`64c0b746`) | 91 focused cases pass,
including actual preparation for four active providers and a distinct
prior/current warm proof. Unproved resumed state, dead process and stale
warm owner remain rejected. The earlier options-only fixture missed this
gate. No spawn, backup restore or PRP-authentication bypass was added.
Server typecheck passes. |
| Active warm identity (`64c0b746`) | **FAIL.** B claimed generation 2
at 312,995 ms. Preparation passed, then strict PRP recovery rejected the
generated attachment IDs at about 319 s. The saved and desired Runner,
lease, normalized session and run IDs matched; only
`turn_attachment_…`/`item_attachment_…` differed from generated
`turn-<run>`/`item-<run>`. Canonical 0/1 cleanup-failed report remains
failed; independent cleanup confirmed deletion/404s and zero owned
provider resources. |
| Six-field identity repair (`7a203274`) | Actual server-factory
regression RED4→GREEN38. A real Rust Runner test passes healthy first
run → random-ID warm handoff → held active second run → restored
controller. It verifies a new live authenticated connection, exact
identity, same Runner/provider OS identities, no duplicate launch/turn,
and no redispatch or invented receipt for an uncertain tool. The
synthetic wrong pair still fails the unchanged guard. This protocol case
does not claim business completion. Server and Runner typechecks pass. |
| Active recovery/completion (`7a203274`) | **PASS for the active
component.** Full five-minute SIGKILL/cache-loss hold. B ready at
308,936.651 ms; natural generation 2 observed 312,979 ms; authenticated
at 317,720 ms and resumed processing at 318,527 ms. Same run
`1e1ccb00-0728-4935-97da-57562d81cb42`, Runner
`246f73f7-a689-4177-a9c2-7ce711d63aed`, remote PID 669/start
23:48:27.470, provider lease/session and one submitted turn. Accepted
result `49097529-5310-4ac3-af95-5bf9b91d19f4`, publication, finalization
and accounting v2 all settled. |
| Full workflow (`7a203274`) | **FAIL, preserved.** Queued
late-requirement run `5e61f38d-c7d1-4fc1-bcbf-bce9d46ce4eb` failed
`runner did not durably suspend before checkpoint` before outage 2.
Canonical 0/1 candidate failure, cleanup passed, evidence valid. C
retention was not exercised. Independent provider absence,
controllers/PG cleanup, EC2 termination and root-volume absence all
confirmed; closed receipt SHA-256
`676a3b15eb9937b6bf995c36fb8666c88964d509e5ceb9109fb02da0aa2bc909`. |
| Retirement and stable configuration (`39a4343`) | Real Runner +
Postgres RED reproduced the exact suspension failure and nine owner
rejections. `turn.stop` is now lifecycle checkpoint maintenance under
unchanged owner/result/generation fences. GREEN25/25 proves actual
persisted suspension, exact identity and completed stop/drain/suspend;
unaccepted, foreign, stale and new-work negatives remain rejected. Two
default-home fingerprint REDs become GREEN9/9; explicit mode changes
still invalidate. No global matching exemption or historical fingerprint
rewrite. |
| Fresh full Daytona warm cell (`39a4343`) | **FAIL, preserved.**
Launched 00:15:29 UTC with automatic retries disabled. Active adoption
passed: actual offline hold 300,000.848 ms; B ready 309,922.155 ms;
natural generation 2 at 311,821 ms; authenticated 317,989 ms; resumed
330,440 ms. Same run `3e126819-e786-4b3b-b923-c975cf4f5b79`, Runner
`4079138a-8d7c-44a4-8558-07a5411d1f55`, PID 668/start and
provider/session identities. Accepted result
`08e504af-4dec-48a8-bf05-bf0a32280559` and publication passed. Queued
run `31d168c9-7ab9-4700-abb6-fafb90912237` failed the same strict
suspension error before outage 2. Its row selected a new native
identity, but no new third provider process or invocation was observed.
Recovery-time configuration still reset only `adapterConfig`; native
provider, context and workspace subtrees were unchanged. Canonical 0/1
candidate failure, evidence valid, normal cleanup passed; all campaign
provider/PG/process resources independently absent. Closed campaign
receipt SHA-256
`5e7d6281c13c812f3a946667f97f3c7d339b5ad86a3a819bd185b2fa73bc4a19`;
EC2/SSH remain temporarily held for the concrete follow-up repair.
Original 60/300/420-second limits and strict queued/second-replacement
checks remain unchanged. Direct-process path; no new live prepared-task
claim. |
| Native retirement authority (`283e05ffaa`) | Exact `39a4343` facade
regression RED3→GREEN9. The successor now uses its existing production
coordinator claim and prompt renewal before strict retirement. A real
Runner/Postgres case starts in the actual native-observed/unclaimed
phase, claims through production code, then closes and durably suspends
the predecessor in 1.657 s. All 25 real-Postgres cases pass;
unclaimed/foreign writers remain rejected. Shared attachment staging
stays after retirement; Stop and denied claims neither close nor stage.
No new claim or SQL path was added. |
| Configuration continuity (`283e05ffaa`) | Real shared/project-primary
environment selection → configuration with four skill versions
reproduces `reset: true`, changed category exactly `adapterConfig`,
after a Postgres JSONB read. Pinned restoration had reordered the
generated preference while actual runtime skills stayed identical.
Replacing existing pinned rows in place preserves the original fresh
name/key order and fingerprint. The assembled regression passes, as do
three existing pinned-version/rename/alias cases and server typecheck.
Genuine model/skill-selection changes still invalidate. No
fingerprint-format change or broad compatibility exemption. |
| Final production repair (`283e05ffaa`) | Full recursive
typecheck/build and [normal
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41151145106)
PASS: 48 jobs plus one expected skip. Fresh review 5/5, zero unresolved
threads. Live baseline, recovered run and queued continuation all
succeeded, each accepted/published/committed once with accounting v2
settled. Their native/provider identities and configuration fingerprint
match; both recovery and continuation report no reset, no changed
categories and task-session reuse. Active outage/authentication remains
within original timing. |
| Browser-dependent continuation (`283e05ffaa`, definition 6) | **Whole
cell FAIL, preserved.** After B was killed at 00:46:38.928 and its cache
discarded, C became ready in 9,151.410 ms. `openParent()` then hit a
30-second `page.goto`/DOMContentLoaded timeout before posting the final
request. No fourth native run or C continuation was exercised. Cause of
navigation timeout is unknown. C task had no execution lock, queued
comments, handoff or recovery blocker; all three prior runs were
committed/accounted. Normal cleanup passed; independent provider
absence, controller/PG cleanup, EC2 termination and exact root-volume
absence confirmed. Sanitized report bundle SHA-256
`2a3b841d62efb2ae30ef14f96a431ac4fa7fe3a782f1144831512f78edc65022`. |
| Native API continuation qualification (`9eb9ac6f9e`, definition 7) |
**FAIL, preserved.** The real post-C API request dispatched run
`c71fbb18-f979-4fe4-93ce-9c4be46dbf21`, which failed
`native_session_interrupted` / `native_session_recovery_failed` at
01:10:00.640 UTC. It selected the same normalized native identity,
Runner and checkpoint-provider identity as the three succeeded turns. No
C result was accepted; pending accounting remains explicit. Active
recovery passed: actual offline hold 300,001.098 ms, B ready 308,335.019
ms, natural generation 2 observed 311,818 ms, authenticated 315,540 ms,
resumed 316,612 ms. Queued continuation succeeded/accepted/published. B
was then killed/cache discarded at 01:09:34.500 and C ready in 8,783.803
ms. Original classifier `transient_infrastructure`, whole-case failure
and cleanup passed are unchanged; that classifier does not establish the
root cause. All owned provider/PG/process resources, EC2, root volume
and SSH agent independently absent. Closed receipt SHA-256

Exact backend detail is unavailable in approved structured evidence. |
| Current required checks (`9eb9ac6f9e`) | Recursive typecheck, standard
build and exact build stamp PASS. [Normal
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41152908417)
PASS: 48 jobs plus one expected skip. Fresh Greptile 5/5, latest edited
summary checked, zero unresolved threads. Exact8/512/8,192 stream probes
again report zero recovery SQL/transactions/rows and settled-idle SQL;
seven control transactions/twelve changed rows each, with 36 separate
legitimate renewals in the longest case. CI success does not supersede
the failed live C gate. |

The completion supplement observed secondary request/liveness/checkpoint
transaction p99 increases of 23.0%/45.7%/15.6% in its single pair.
Renewal p99 stayed below 0.865 s, with 900 successful renewals per arm
and no lost leases. The named pool caps stayed 10+2+2. An aggregate
activity sample peaked at 15 non-observer entries without backend-type
classification, so no claim is made that all were client connections. No
sampled lock episodes does not establish zero lock waits.

Twelve pure reader/selector cases also pass with the new adjacent
receipt. This is not another executed process rollback. Development
reader `5cf7aead` can parse the recovery state, but its old run-detail
redactor can expose receipt IDs/outcome to an authorized run reader. The
first production release containing recovery readers, complete
attachment-identity handling and both private-field redactions is the
rollback floor. The implicit-home fix prevents new recovery-time
fingerprint drift; it does not rewrite previously stored fingerprints
from failed candidates. The development probe is not a published
supported rollback target.

Latest actual `0862062` Runner tests independently passed 8/512/8,192
text chunks with zero recovery SQL, transactions and changed rows, plus
zero settled-idle SQL. All three observed seven setup/control
transactions and twelve changed rows. The 8,192-chunk case separately
recorded 31 legitimate lease-renewal statements, with no lost lease.
These are component SQL observations, not a production CPU/WAL claim.
The new adoption and identity branches affect recovery preparation only.
The `64c0b746`, `7a203274` and exact `39a4343` CI independently passed
all three stream sizes with the same zero-SQL/idle result; each latest
8,192-chunk case recorded 36 separate renewal statements. Exact
`39a4343` Runner 2/2 passed 133 files / 2,317 tests plus two skips; its
separate native group passed 150 tests plus eight skips.

The first API fixture revision omitted the mandatory final screenshot;
this was caught before paid launch and allocated no provider/model work.
The correction captures the actual retained Chromium page with an
explicit unqualified-browser label, without changing the standard report
validator.

Automatic approval review rejected exporting raw private API/workflow
snapshots because of sensitive payloads and insufficient
destination-specific authorization. Sanitized reports and
bound/hash-only receipts are retained; raw snapshots were not copied
through another channel. This does not change the failed grade.

Repair characterization also preserves its failed attempts. An
unconditional staging relocation broke three existing same-scope
scripted cases; the final implementation defers staging only for an
actual superseded warm scope, and all nine order/race cases pass. One
baseline transform overlapped an edit and is explicitly invalid; the
actual immutable `39a4343` loader then produced the three genuine REDs.
The independent task-directory hypothesis produced a RED but was
excluded by the live shared-workspace evidence; no directory policy
change was landed. A shared-workspace fixture authorization omission was
corrected separately from the four-skill semantic RED.

Setup failures are retained separately from semantic outcomes. These
include an old host port after the owned Postgres fixture restarted and
a sandbox-denied TSX IPC pipe. The supported external-Postgres run
passed, and the final exact recursive typecheck passes with normal
process permissions. Seven stale declaration errors after the master
merge cleared after compiling the actual merged SDK/Runner TypeScript
sources. No declarations were edited by hand.

**Historical blocked gate (before the repair below).** Final native
implementation is `abed921e12d543b62f57a56435419c0dafb0bc33`; current
branch head is `af9e2d157dcc349e55374ad186c9be2d6cb96bf9`. The two later
commits change only qualification fixtures, their matcher and
documentation; `server/` and `packages/` are unchanged. It includes
master through `fd008979f5794fda3d5f54151d36acd31d0de140`.

The live Daytona measurement proves five-minute active recovery,
once-only completion and accounting, but **fails retained-session
identity after the second replacement**. The saved checkpoint and
recovery metadata exist. The task-session pointer remains empty, and
ordinary admission creates new native/provider sessions. The exact
skipped publication boundary remains unproven. A useful saved-file
result alone does not satisfy retained-session continuation. This
application-path gap blocks merge independently of CI.

A separate new-master CI failure is owned by the storage workstream (fix
in #18357). No storage guard, session-identity oracle, lease/grace limit
or provider result was relaxed.

| Gate | Observed result and exact scope |
| --- | --- |
| Distinct source recovery and compatible rollback | PASS at A
`5cf7aead09a2d9c7e2f2929d761f535ef3c1d798` → B
`5ea45f8d17e33c9a62bd79982dcf0375b07733d0` → fresh B → A. Four
controller processes, natural 60-second lease expiry, absent native
projections before replacements, three succeeded/committed unique
results, one provider thread, unchanged Runner identity, and strict idle
cleanup. 177.782 seconds. |
| Immutable installed native component | PASS at installed A
`5cf7aead09a2d9c7e2f2929d761f535ef3c1d798` → installed B
`eaef0d56552c087aaa4fa68a8655282ffbd12667` → fresh B → A. Each
controller imports its contained compiled server and DB. Three unique
committed results, stable Runner/thread, no extra provider restart on
same-contract rollback, strict cleanup. 106.672 seconds. This is
compiled component proof, separate from full CLI-native application
acceptance. |
| Normal public CLI startup | PASS for B
`eaef0d56552c087aaa4fa68a8655282ffbd12667`, Node 24.22.1, darwin-arm64:
fresh external DB, 415 migrations, health ready, root HTML 200, company
POST 201 plus GET readback. The installed tree remained unchanged after
execution. |
| Five-minute component outage | Actual controller absence 300,168 ms.
Natural generation-2 claim at 407.196 seconds after crash, same provider
attempt and Runner, original run succeeded/committed. The larger
540-second case timed out before its retained follow-ups, so it is an
active-adoption pass, not a complete four-controller pass. The complete
short source/installed cases above independently cover follow-up and
rollback. |
| Drain/resume review regression | Fixed in
`226f03e736d1ee99fea1762ab32ea3a8a9241c20`. Five facade-level cases
pass: overdue normal/restart waits, future timer cancellation, another
facade resuming the original owner, and transient retry. Against exact
prior scheduler `5ea45f8d17e33c9a62bd79982dcf0375b07733d0`, four fail
and one passes. The later head changes documentation only. |
| Final corrected-fixture Daytona | **PARTIAL: active recovery PASS;
retained identity FAIL**, exact live source `0b6afc499f`. A was
SIGKILLed and native cache discarded; actual offline hold 300,000.375
ms. B was ready at 308,326.961 ms, naturally claimed generation 2 at
312,059 ms, authenticated at 315,996 ms and resumed processing at
316,519 ms, within the original 420-second boundary. The same run,
Runner PID/start, session, lease and event prefix survived; one turn
submitted. Original execution succeeded and settled accounting. After
completion, B was killed and its native cache discarded; C was ready in
9,077.779 ms. C executed the saved project and returned correct
`queue_r`, with all four runs succeeded/accounted. However, native and
true provider-session identities changed: the unchanged retained oracle
fails. No whole-workflow pass is claimed. |
| Prior matched-producer Daytona | FAILED at exact `abed921e12`. The
matching current-source Runner passed normal admission, completed the
first task and settled its accounting. During the active revision, A was
SIGKILLed and its native cache discarded. Actual offline hold was
300,000.727 ms; B was ready at 308,304 ms and naturally claimed
generation 2 at 309,651 ms. At about 318 seconds, the remote process
check reported `process_not_running` for the original admitted Runner.
No authenticated after-receipt or retained follow-up passed. The current
failure is preserved; no automatic retry, lease/grace relaxation, debt
edit or provider replay is used. Bounded forensic read found preserved
exact-bound state with no recoverable failure, a transport-reset
diagnostic and no terminal delivery; this supports external process loss
without proving the exact cause. The sandbox had a five-minute auto-stop
policy, conflicting with the required surviving-sandbox assumption.
Owned cleanup precedes the separate corrected-fixture case. |

**Live retained-session boundary.** Prior completed run `3806…` and C
follow-up `8adf1df3-6744-40bf-b35d-100451f29d9f` both have database
session snapshots and `nativeControllerRecovery`. Their tool
fingerprint, provider configuration, workspace descriptor,
runtime-context digest, driver and work mode match. There is no recorded
force-fresh/workspace-selection change, and this is an ordinary task
rather than a conversation-generation reset. The same issue/agent
task-session row has `session_params_json: null` and `last_run_id: null`
from baseline time. Both native normalized UUID and actual provider
session/thread hashes differ after C. Full application admission
therefore did not select the retained source. No fallback to file
execution or relaxed identity comparison is accepted as proof of
continuity.

**Independent cleanup completed.** Full current-account provider
inventory confirms no resources owned by either final fixture, with
exact-ID absence checks. Owned controllers and campaign Postgres are
stopped/removed. EC2 `i-01551c09af098dde5` is terminated, its
delete-on-termination root volume returned `InvalidVolume.NotFound` at
22:14:08 UTC, and the temporary SSH key/agent were removed. The
canonical failed report and immutable oracle input are retained. Closed
qualification receipt SHA-256:
`b4b5fefce287ebfdbf2cc2238efaad62d8ad485aed0e9c0628ae95dbc18a8575`.

**Original measurement and grader repair remain separate.** The C reply
contains the requested marker followed by a newline and the correct
output. The old workflow waited for one literal space, so its normal
receipt collection stalled; that original attempt was closed and its
canonical `cleanup_failure`/interrupted result is preserved. Commit
`af9e2d157d` repairs only this reply predicate, with 144 focused cases,
E2E typecheck, discovery and diff checks passing. Ordinary string
matching stays literal. The corrected predicate accepts the saved reply,
but the unchanged retained-identity oracle still fails. Pure
active-recovery grading of the captured measurement passes 7/7; this is
not a rewritten passing campaign.

The sandbox idle-window conflict was corrected only for this explicit
fixture (15 minutes). Actual baseline and later sandbox metadata confirm
that policy; the original active box was disposed before a post-gate
policy read, so its 15-minute setting is established by the normal
create/environment configuration rather than an after-read of that box.
Production native lifecycle and the 60/300/420-second constants remain
unchanged.

The development compatibility reader A is a genuine backport commit
based on `59ff89a18fe1312b5f0bb908439bbdb1237b0252`, with the required
idle-goal reader fixes. It is not a previously published release. Its
older executor differs from B. The rollback floor must include this
reader capability. The source component cases admitted the Linux ARM64
Runner packaged at `59ff89a18fe1312b5f0bb908439bbdb1237b0252`; the
installed component case admitted the `5cf7aead` package. Their Runner
bytes are identical: SHA-256
`b1f04caa1ce04e720dec7eb62ede170eb3621948c0849b8f305ea5c5116bced8`. Each
admitted artifact remained unchanged throughout its case.

[Final public package
build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41121460635)
and [reader-floor
build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41122170506)
both passed all four daemon builds, package assembly and both Darwin
clean consumers. Both Linux ARM consumers failed before provider work
with the same existing local Codex permission-profile error: bubblewrap
attempts `activity.fifo/.git` and reports “Not a directory.” This
matched baseline failure remains open; it is not a native remote
continuity pass. Full post-run tree and build-stamp revalidation also
passed after the compiled native case. The installed component trees are
A `c29114c1bf71c5af00f761aeb9e3d84ed3d3075b9f5600dee3ef2543eb2b6ec5` and
B `eda575505373a3bdc630fa4919862b359791fe3a7ef637961a25b73b38efe4b0`.

**Controlled PostgreSQL qualification passed.**
Baseline/candidate/candidate/baseline workloads used 300 controllers,
10,000 historical tasks, real snapshot/encrypted PRP writes and
unchanged pools. PostgreSQL and client were each limited to two CPUs and
1536 MiB on an isolated eight-vCPU Linux host.

| Workload | PG CPU per operation | WAL per operation | Database request
p99 |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Steady | +1.18% | +1.81% | +1.91% |
| Aligned burst | +3.40% | +2.56% | +3.81% |
| Two logical servers | +3.11% | +2.56% | +9.68% |

All arms passed absolute/correctness gates with unchanged control
transaction counts, no dropped operations and no owner loss. Overlap p99
has little margin below the relative threshold. It uses two clients in
one Node process, not two HTTP servers. [Closed measurements and
limitations](doc/plans/2026-10-30-native-controller-qualification-evidence.json)
and exact-source reproduction patches are retained. [Earlier
contended-host
failures](doc/plans/2026-10-30-native-controller-load-evidence.json)
remain unchanged. The production DB-claim probe claimed 300 owners in
2.84 seconds and restored/committed controls and snapshots in 8.74
seconds, with zero owner loss or settled-idle SQL; its provider
references were synthetic. The measured checkpoint/snapshot/renewal
paths retain the same persistence behavior after integration; later
accounting and business writes have separate owners.

Actual Runner stream tests at `da8c7f6e1837ddd896dfe83a7524812fee813487`
passed 8/512/8,192 chunks: zero recovery SQL, transactions and changed
rows during text intervals; zero settled-idle SQL. Each retained seven
control transactions and twelve changed records. Existing renewal SQL
was measured separately. The guard/scheduler fixes add no stream path,
pool or recurring idle scan.

The live fixture used current-source producer SHA-256
`f0000c90cb83880191479da639201e659aa6ce0fc7d67c859faa172ec977849e`, a
normal locked exact-head build with pinned Rust 1.97.1 in Bookworm.
Actual network-isolated, read-only ABI execution passed (GLIBC
requirement 2.34 against runtime 2.36). The immutable base image
remained
`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:36069788f53c51f228764fa36180575443dfb5d1f84a342d7c0daceb28dc61cc`,
source `a0ef3ce7`. This was an unpublished development producer,
explicitly distinct from the base image and admitted before the fresh
fixture began. The earlier host build failed ABI preflight before
admission. The preceding old-producer fixture completed its initial task
but lacked the usage-basis marker required by current master; it
remained pending/unpriced and correctly paused. It was independently
cleaned without debt or budget changes. Two preceding local Linux setup
attempts OOM-killed before provider allocation, and their cleanup
passed. These attempts remain separate from the final recovery failure.

**Failures retained and resolved separately.** The earlier `98f05fc`
probe rejected a valid settled PRP v2 goal suffix; `eaef0d5` fixed that
reader and the fresh follow-up passed. Later component cleanup failures
were traced by a scoped exception observer to the fixture adapter
rejecting directory downloads. A bounded owned-directory transfer with
exact-byte/mode preflight corrected the fixture; source and installed
strict-cleanup cases then passed. No production guard was relaxed. The
initial local integrated control-port run hit its 30-second embedded
Postgres startup hook before executing 59 cases; 18 other focused cases
passed. A bounded rerun used a fresh owned external Postgres fixture,
applied normal migrations before Vitest, and passed all 59 cases with
the original timeouts unchanged. Its container and data were removed;
the failed attempt remains retained.

The additional opt-in full Product E2E Vitest run is not green: 5,313
passed, seven failed and three skipped. An actual `abed921e12` archive
with the same dependencies, Node and IPC permissions reproduces all
seven failures with the same reasons. Five are unchanged
workflow-policy/profile-pin assertions, including Pi profile version 37
versus the test pin 35. Two database suites failed during embedded
Postgres startup before their assertions; semaphore exhaustion is
confirmed in the observer log. The observer passes its supported
external-Postgres rerun with original timeouts and source unchanged. The
controller-database client-kill/postmaster assertions remain unexecuted
after `initdb` bootstrap failure; no external override is supported. The
unit launcher stopped before its Node-test phase, which was then run
independently and passed 181/181. The original failed full run is
preserved. These results remain distinct from the passing focused checks
and normal repository CI. The first local Product E2E typecheck also
encountered stale compiled Runner declarations; a genuine package-local
TypeScript compile refreshed them and the unchanged check passed,
without a dependency install or producer rebuild.

Earlier [Daytona campaign
41108162900](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41108162900)
failed at sandbox creation before any agent, with the underlying
provider error unavailable. Its [sanitized
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-41108162900-2/index.html)
remains a `cleanup_failure`. Both old creation names are absent in the
current authenticated account, but the old CI account identity was not
retained, so account equivalence is unproven. The subsequent exact
`eaef0d5` source Product E2E attempt passed image/agent setup and the
initial project, then held the controller offline for 300,003.7 ms. Its
Mac supervisor failed owned-process inspection before B readiness; no
adoption passed. Full current-company lease/label checks, provider
deletion, exact-ID 404s and complete inventory confirmed cleanup of that
attempt. Its local server and owned Postgres stopped. The prior AWS
campaigns and database qualification VM were terminated with root
volumes removed.

The old admitted test Runner lacks the newer usage-basis marker
introduced on master. The integrated component B turns retained
unpriced, incomplete accounting obligations with `costAccountingPending:
true` and no settled charge. The compatibility-reader A turn used its
legacy receipt interpretation but likewise retained pending accounting
and no settlement timestamp. This proves obligation preservation, not a
whole-run accounting migration. Runner/receiver release ordering remains
governed by the usage owner's contract.

At native implementation `abed921e12d543b62f57a56435419c0dafb0bc33`,
Greptile was 5/5 with zero unresolved threads and CI completed with 54
successful checks and five expected skips. At `0b6afc499f`, Greptile
again passed 5/5 with zero unresolved threads, but CI ended with 51
successful checks, five skips and three failures. Server 9/12 fails a
deterministic managed-skills maintenance assertion newly inherited from
master `198218bf` in merge `c80e00ad`; that test is absent from the PR
head, and the storage owner has the explicit-StorageService fix in
#18357. Runner 2/2 passed 2,283 unit cases but its runner received a
shutdown signal during the long stream probe; its cancelled step and
aggregate failure are preserved. No blind retry was used. Current
`af9e2d157d` checks are pending; the matcher-only change passes 144
focused cases and Product E2E typecheck. Earlier scheduling-sensitive CI
failures and the interrupted unsharded local test run remain recorded in
the dated plan. CI runs the repository's normal test partitions. Final
verification does not claim Railway rollout, uninterrupted HTTP service
or whole-webserver filesystem loss.

</details>

## Risks

- The task-pointer repair passes its assembled regression. The first
live repair exposed pre-acceptance ordering and the fresh review exposed
a replay lock-order issue; both are fixed and pass real Postgres tests
at `0862062`. The following live attempt exposed the
verified-running-versus-suspended preparation gate. Its narrow fix
passes 91 focused cases at `64c0b746`. The next live case exposed
synthetic attachment IDs; `7a203274` fixes that field selection and
passes real Runner authentication. The subsequent queued continuation
exposed strict retirement maintenance and a false default-home change;
`39a4343` fixes both with real Runner/Postgres and fingerprint
regressions. The `39a4343` live continuation failed again despite green
CI. `283e05ffaa` repairs the actual native-observed admission ordering
and reproduces/fixes the JSONB skill-order fingerprint drift. Both pass
targeted real-Postgres regressions and the live active plus queued
paths. The definition 6 post-C browser navigation timed out before
admission. Explicit definition 7 now verifies native continuation
through the ordinary comment API; its strict post-C native gate failed
after a real dispatch and remains historical failed evidence. The final
fc68584 repair now passes its fresh strict 49-check Linux/Daytona
campaign; the prior failed grades remain unchanged. Browser reconnection
is handed to its own workstream with the original failed evidence. No
prior failed campaign is reclassified as passing.
- Incorrect checkpoint/source binding or stale ownership could duplicate
external work. Missing evidence remains a hold; existing receipt and
finalization owners keep uncertain effects unresolved.
- Recovery must retain maintenance writes after accepted results without
allowing a stale business turn to write. Real lock-wait and generation
tests cover that boundary.
- The current two-connection paired burst profile fails its absolute
drain gate in both baseline and candidate, despite passing relative load
gates and all correctness checks. A causal capacity diagnostic selected
three slots; the final controlled cap-three profiles pass unchanged
thresholds. Full application replacement and two-server overlap capacity
remain separate. There is no new streaming writer, pool or recurring
idle scan.
- The remote sandbox and Runner must survive the recovery window.
Provider auto-stop is a separate lifetime bound from reconnect grace;
the explicit qualification fixture uses a longer idle window.
- Workspace and provider backup availability remain external
dependencies. This PR does not certify whole-webserver filesystem loss,
uninterrupted HTTP service or a Railway rollout.

## Model Used

Implementation and initial verification used OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex;
the initial hosted snapshot was not exposed. The follow-up qualification
used three OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` workers coordinated through Codex, with
repository tools, code execution, CI and scoped test infrastructure.
Context-window size is not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip 0e15c92073 feat(skills): make managed content independent of web-server disk (#18334)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents use installed skills and exact version pins during execution.
> - Managed skills still depended on mutable directories on the web
server.
> - A replacement server could lose acknowledged edits or remove an
unassigned skill whose directory was absent.
> - This pull request makes immutable versions the authority for managed
content and installed repository reads.
> - The server can rebuild delivery files from durable content after
replacement.
> - This establishes skills readiness for ephemeral web servers. General
server draining and workspace recovery remain separate work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Skills services, shared contracts, database receipts, Skill Studio, and
runtime delivery.

**Problem or motivation**

A fresh web server must discover, read, edit, and deliver protected
installed skills using the same database, object storage, secrets, and
supported application artifacts. It must not need its predecessor's
files or process memory.

**Proposed solution**

Use `managed` ownership with a null source locator. Read installed
content by immutable version. Prepare packages before a short
publication transaction. Persist execution selections before
materialization. Recover exact pinned runtime assets and reject deletion
while active or recovering pins exist.

**Alternatives considered**

Reconstructing a mutable installed directory preserves the old
source-of-truth ambiguity. Permanent dual writes create two competing
authorities. This change uses one managed model after a bounded legacy
conversion.

**Roadmap alignment**

This improves the existing Skills Manager, Studio, version history, and
Cloud execution capabilities. The maintainer supplied the implementation
contract. This does not add a separate skills product or deploy fleet
changes.

Related work: #18082 supplies immutable package storage. #17273
addresses edits outside the API for linked local skills; this PR keeps
that source category separate. #2648 is a closed earlier
ephemeral-filesystem proposal.

## What Changed

- Add managed ownership and focused content publication and execution
materialization modules. Keep the archive format and package storage
tables.
- Publish managed create, save, delete, fork, rename, restore, and
catalog content with version checks. Add durable create receipts.
Preserve file-save receipt responses.
- Return file version identities. Keep Studio drafts after a conflict
and provide an explicit reload action. A delayed reload cannot overwrite
newer typing or navigation.
- Persist exact runtime selections, including empty selections. Rebuild
pinned assets and verify their admitted digests on a replacement server.
- Preserve source access on forks and disconnected copies. Keep the
existing workspace policy category for managed skills.
- Add bounded conversion, eligibility, and independent verification
phases. Load persisted Cloud configuration in the standalone CLI without
seeding or changing it. Reject partial current versions against
installed inventories; recover only complete saved content or the exact
source. Document storage migration blockers and the compatible rollback
floor.
- Add separate-process PostgreSQL/S3 qualification and update domain,
retention, policy, and UI regressions.
- Pass the plugin worker manager into Studio execution, admit restricted
`skill_test` mode through native Runner contracts, and preserve admitted
scope across native and REST tools. Native tests cannot create ordinary
tasks, browse company data, or use external tools.
- Select the exact durable Studio revision even when unassigned or Beta
skills is off. Persist Studio output and audit atomically with native
task completion, preserving the result on replay.

## Verification

- Final revision `13e8af480b88ba6fea5737bac4bd81104d604792` passed full
CI: all 49 workflow jobs completed successfully ([run
41127396098](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41127396098)).
This includes typecheck, test suites, Runner checks, browser checks and
build. Greptile review 15 is 5/5 on that same revision, with zero
unresolved threads. The PR is ready for review.
- Local workspace typecheck and build passed after integrating master.
Focused checks passed: 33 execution/completion cases, 52 Runner HTTP
cases, 16 managed-content cases, 17 Studio cases, the new real-process
CLI regression, map checks and UI token gates. The CLI regression proves
inspection does not seed missing Cloud configuration. Server typecheck
passed after that fix.
- The independent-process PostgreSQL/S3 matrix passed through normal
HTTP skill routes. It covers A → B → C replacement, lost commit
responses, upload crashes, concurrent saves, binary contents and
executable delivery. Metadata listing and warm selected delivery retain
zero object downloads. Local timing measurements are recorded; they do
not establish hosted latency.
- Hosted A → B → C passed on the owned disposable test tenant with
external Postgres, S3 and a real remote Paperclip Computer. Predecessor
temporary homes were absent. C read and executed B's acknowledged
managed save. New runs used repository v1 while v2 was installed. Hashes
matched an independently checked exact upstream commit.
- Compatible image rollback to `6518b323` passed. Studio retained the
unassigned fork's C save. A fresh remote run executed the newer managed
content and historical repository pin. The actual shell event confirmed
expected hashes, stdout, exit 0 and mode 0555.
- Runtime candidate `9200e3fcb4` deployed successfully ([Cloud run
41124147876](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/actions/runs/41124147876)).
The final Studio test delivered only the unassigned fork's exact v3,
executed its script and persisted a successful output snapshot.
Independent command-event inspection confirmed all three hashes, stdout,
exit 0 and mode 0555. All 14 installations were version-backed.
Independent verification checked all 25 versions: 23 remote objects, two
bundled database snapshots, zero blockers.
- The deployed image is `9200e3fcb4`. Later master integration, the
client-only delayed-reload draft guard and the CLI bootstrap have
separate automated proof. The CLI bootstrap was also exercised against
the tenant's stored configuration and storage through the same read-only
services. This PR does not claim that the deployed image is the final PR
revision.
- Live Studio checks exposed worker wiring, admission, access scope,
exact selection and completion-publication gaps. They are fixed. Failed
attempts remain in the evidence. The full local suite exceeded 80
minutes under host contention and was stopped. Later combined/isolated
local attempts also timed out; they are not counted as passes. Full CI
covers the integrated suites. Earlier CI found an obsolete restart-scope
fixture, which was corrected and passed all 52 HTTP cases.
- Reproduction and migration:
[`doc/skill-ephemeral-web-servers.md`](doc/skill-ephemeral-web-servers.md).

history:
[`doc/plans/2026-10-30-ephemeral-web-skills.md`](doc/plans/2026-10-30-ephemeral-web-skills.md).

## Risks

- Legacy conversion requires stopped admission and retired
filesystem-authoritative writers. Pre-conversion binaries are not
supported rollback targets afterward.
- Cloud readiness requires remote object storage. Local provider
receipts and provider mismatches remain blockers until objects are
copied and verified.
- Linked local sources retain filesystem semantics and are outside the
cloud guarantee.
- Cold reads still fetch the existing archive format. Warm runtime
preparation retains the verified-cache path.

DottaandPaperclip 9f524ec1a7 fix: persist native Runner usage before transport acknowledgement (#18354)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent execution must preserve usage so Paperclip can price work and
enforce budgets.
> - Remote Runner execution can outlive its web receiver.
> - The receiver previously acknowledged Runner events before its later
usage recorder saved the accounting receipt.
> - This pull request saves required native usage receipts before that
transport acknowledgement.
> - A replacement receiver can accept the same retained report and
create one ledger charge.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Native remote Runner usage could leave its durable outbox before the web
receiver saved its accounting receipt. The later recorder required a
local receipt directory. A replacement web receiver could lose the only
remaining report when the database write failed.

**Expected behavior**

The Runner retains unaccepted structured usage. Postgres owns accepted
receipts. Repeated delivery preserves one receipt for each source report
and one charge for the run. Missing usage keeps accounting pending.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a supported built-in native remote Runner.
2. Make the receipt database insert fail after the provider reports
usage.
3. Replace the web receiver and its local directory.
4. Reconnect the same Runner and inspect the saved receipt and ledger.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The initial investigation used
`ebd05e9f4c88c66af7473db86bbaacfd1544aa0a`.

**Deployment mode**

A web server with a remote native Runner and shared Postgres.

Related work: #18327 owns output logs and provider traces. This change
has no dependency on its S3 export path. #18031 covers interrupted Codex
receipt recovery. #18005 covers legacy spool reads. #17516 covers Codex
stop-boundary retention.

## What Changed

- Add native producer receipt delivery through the existing Runner
callback before transport acknowledgement.
- Reuse `run_usage_receipts`, stable source sequences, and deterministic
report identities. Reject conflicting replay and retry a lost commit
response with the same receipt.
- Restore per-turn usage from structured receipt facts. Preserve
provider turns that share one PRP envelope turn.
- Bind retained warm transport callbacks to the current run authority
epoch, allowing old attachment control acknowledgements while preserving
accounting ownership.
- Persist Codex session baselines and cumulative totals in the existing
provider checkpoint. Mark qualified whole-run deltas, preserve them
across resume/restart/attachment, and leave old unmarked reports
incomplete and unpriced.
- Normalize the bounded final usage tail before the terminal event.
Retain later increases for explicit reconciliation, block further
attachment, and fail an affected successor without changing its
baseline.
- Complete runs from the accepted immutable receipt and its exact saved
rate-card amount; preserve existing live-budget enforcement.
- Skip the local receipt recorder for supported built-in native remote
Runner execution. Keep local, legacy, and external Dot/Muse behavior
unchanged.
- Keep pricing, reservations, ledger settlement, source fencing, and
budget holds with their existing owners.
- Put the actual Runner integration test in the existing Rust-cached
native test lane. Build before opening Postgres and give cold
compilation its own bounded budget.

## Verification

- Fresh Greptile review is 5/5 on
`e7376a50c8162770da1d581ecf25c8cffac64520`, with no unresolved findings.
Parent and independent peer review approved the final changes.
- Real PostgreSQL 18.6 and a real Rust Runner exercise failed receipt
insertion, receiver-directory loss, replay from the same producer, and
exactly one 25-cent ledger charge. The actual accounting spool path
stays absent. Optional logs/traces are disabled. The provider is
controlled; no paid request is made and the fixture never pre-saves the
expected receipt.
- Producer checks passed 32 usage/provider tests,37 terminal controls,
corrected completion, all 3 previously failing exit cases, and both full
transport goal-continuation cases. Rejected active-goal completion
retains its 120-token tail before failure. Baseline 100→successor150→33
duplicate old snapshots→old120 retains explicit incomplete
reconciliation evidence and positive budget exposure.
- Heartbeat executor checks passed 982/982. PostgreSQL tests preserve
exact 1.002 USD pricing, the 100.2-cent ledger amount, budget holds,
source takeover, partial/final receipts, cost-only corrections, equal
rate-card replay, and stale-completion interleaving. Newer incomplete
usage remains pending rather than settling an older snapshot.
- Runtime replay and strict usage-schema checks passed 2/2; generated
contracts and Rust formatting pass. Test-partition contracts passed
32/32.
- [Final combined-head
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18354#issuecomment-6531526158)
records full workspace typecheck/build and 41/41 accounting tests
against all five cloud PR heads, including this final accounting commit.
It includes commands and evidence limits.
- Exact-head CI is green: 53successful checks, 6intentional skips, and
the legacy Snyk status passed. Typecheck, build, Runner, server,
browser, and aggregate gates pass. Runner Vitest1/2 initially failed an
unchanged mocked Antigravity login fixture; its focused case passed
locally, then one unchanged job retry passed 131 files/1995 tests,
including all 11 Antigravity tests. The initial failed attempt remains
recorded in CI.

Initial local attempts exposed the host SysV semaphore limit and
corrected harness path, IPC readiness, and queue-counter defects. A
temporary test loader selected an existing POSIX-semaphore PostgreSQL
18.6 build without changing repository dependencies. An optional
expanded debug provider run was interrupted at its unrelated 8192-turn
rollover stress case; no full-file local pass is claimed. Required
failure cases were run directly, and the full Runner CI remains
required.

## Risks

- The guarantee covers built-in native remote Runner execution. Local
native execution, legacy adapters, external Dot/Muse execution, and
server-originated model calls retain their existing contracts.
- This does not provide traffic switching or general web-server
failover. The existing controller identity, checkpoint, and generation
gates still apply.
- The receipt JSON gains optional structured producer facts. No schema
migration or accounting S3 spool is added. Text output and raw trace
payloads are excluded.
- Codex accounting authority requires a Runner artifact built from this
provider baseline implementation and qualified by digest. Update
receivers and strict usage-schema readers before releasing that Runner;
PRP does not negotiate this payload field. Existing unmarked Codex
reports remain pending/unpriced. No deployed Runner artifact is claimed
fixed.
- Usage arriving beyond the bounded terminal tail may require manual
reconciliation or a fresh session. Its evidence remains in the existing
producer checkpoint/outbox; no adjustment ledger or recurring scan is
added.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` assisted with the implementation, tests, and
documentation through code execution and repository tools. The context
window size is unavailable.

DottaandPaperclip dbff3747b8 feat(server): persist run logs and provider traces in S3 (#18327)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators use run logs and restricted provider traces to inspect
agent work.
> - Local log and trace files depend on the web server's persistent
volume.
> - That dependency prevents overlapping volume-backed Railway
deployments.
> - This PR reuses the instance S3 store for batched log and trace
payloads with conditional publication.
> - Existing Postgres rows retain their contracts; native export
recovery reuses events already committed before Runner acknowledgement.
> - S3-configured servers automatically copy and verify retained history
before a later deployment cutover.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Server run logs, restricted provider traces, storage providers, and
migration tooling.

**Problem or motivation**

Replacing the web server and its disk must preserve committed log output
and retained traces. The current S3 mirror can repeatedly upload a
growing file. Moving those payloads into Postgres would add database
writes, WAL, replication, and backup work.

**Proposed solution**

Reuse the existing instance storage configuration, S3-compatible
provider and credential chain. Store new run logs under run-logs/ and
opted-in raw traces under provider-traces/, below the existing prefix.
Cloud keeps its existing bucket and bucket-scoped credentials per stack.
Add no new configuration switches. Store immutable payload segments and
bounded binary range indexes directly in S3. Publish each batch with an
ETag-conditional head. Keep existing database ownership and lifecycle
records. Recover canonical native exports from their existing validated
control event source, checkpointing export progress in S3. Add no new
payload writes to Postgres. Preserve local defaults and migrate settled
history with verified byte counts and digests.

**Alternatives considered**

Postgres payload chunks add control-plane load. Repeated whole-file
mirrors amplify transfer work. The first index prototype left superseded
index nodes; the final binary index keeps all normally published nodes
reachable.

**Roadmap alignment**

This is a storage prerequisite for replacing the main web/API server. It
does not enable deployment overlap, detach a volume, or change native
Runner protocol acknowledgements. The maintainer approved this
implementation scope. ROADMAP.md has no duplicate implementation item.

Related PR: #16770 improves the existing in-flight mirror. This PR
preserves that legacy backend and uses the existing instance S3 profile
for new journals.

## What Changed

- Automatically select S3 segments for new logs and opted-in traces when
instance file storage uses S3. Reuse bucket, endpoint, region, prefix,
path style and credentials. Remove separate backend switches. Keep
local-disk instances local.
- Share the existing storage configuration resolver with product files.
Preserve config-file settings, environment precedence and the existing
root prefix. Keep pre-existing run-log mirror settings for legacy
history.
- Add bounded buffering, conditional ownership fencing, immutable range
reads, stable byte offsets, and completion hashing.
- Dispatch all existing log consumers through the recorded backend.
Coalesce output progress writes and publish live log messages after
storage receipts.
- Recover interrupted canonical native exports from their existing
durable source. Exclude separate credential, cleanup, and reprojection
records. Replay missing callback ranges and deduplicate late delivery.
Repair settled archives after controller lease expiry. Bound shared
repair work and stop it when all readers cancel. Serve the published
prefix when best-effort repair fails.
- Add encrypted optional trace channels, replacement reads, durable
deletion tombstones, and deadline-driven local/external expiry cleanup
independently of heartbeat scheduling. Stream historical source and
remote verification. Propagate worker cancellation through trace open,
conditional-write probing, upload, restore and reads. Fence deletion
even before the first object head exists; abort and drain owned
captures.
- Retry transient storage errors, distinguish 409 from failed
preconditions, and backpressure bounded log admission. Track interrupted
trace imports explicitly so ordinary local deletion stays independent of
S3.
- Automatically migrate retained history through the existing delivery
coordinator. Process one log and one trace per batch. Retry unresolved
history with backoff and stop scans after completion. Keep the
inventory/import command as optional diagnosis and repair. Verify source
and remote bytes before switching references. Verify finalized native
size and digest before setting its export cursor. Require ordered source
coverage when completeness metadata is missing. Preserve original trace
expiry. Block active, missing, corrupt, and unproven sources.
- Preserve identity and run-secret redaction in live and recovered
native logs. Register runtime log redaction secrets once through the
existing encrypted registry. Keep agent private keys in their existing
owner.
- Add storage, migration, retention, UTF-8, and route-privacy coverage,
plus operating documentation and qualification tooling.
- Add no schema, payload table, per-record SQL, production dependency,
or lockfile change.

## Verification

- Final fixes at `b3a44c898e` passed all 116 selected startup,
retention, attribution and cancellation controls. The disabled-scheduler
cleanup and concurrent-repair defects reproduced red before the fixes. A
timed-out repair still prevents later storage reads.
- The merged source passed 124 storage and real-Postgres Cloud
configuration tests. These include automatic history migration, existing
environment/file vault keys, source-directory removal, five real-SDK
stalled-request cancellation cases, shared capability-probe cancellation
and multi-chunk trace ordering. Saved Cloud S3 settings work after the
legacy config file is gone.
- Workspace typecheck and full build passed at the merged parent
`19f702d780`. Server typecheck and build passed again at `b3a44c898e`.
- Actual app acceptance: finish a process-agent run through the normal
API, stage its retained local-file input, then restart. Automatic
migration reports one migrated item and zero blockers. Remove the
original web home and restart at `b3a44c898e` with an empty home, the
existing S3 profile and the existing vault key file. The normal log API
preserves all five producer lines and exactly 788 bytes, with SHA-256
`74d9ae469da28bfe89b9b50a0e132aec24fe9e6d686496ed5e4ffa6167151036`. No
log-specific storage settings are present.
- Actual expiry acceptance: with heartbeat scheduling disabled, a trace
remains unexpired after startup and later reaches its fixture deadline.
The worker marks the row deleted and tombstones both S3 channel heads.
The retained run log stays byte-identical. The process fixture emits no
provider protocol frames, so nonempty encrypted payloads are qualified
separately through the real SDK round trips.
- Isolation tests use identical run identities in two stack buckets.
Cleanup in one existing prefix leaves another prefix, another company
and product files intact. Read-only Cloud source inspection confirms a
bucket and bucket-scoped credentials per stack. Four existing Cloud
storage environment-contract tests passed. No Cloud provisioning changed
and no new live vendor permission probe was performed.
- Earlier qualification passed 1,014 affected storage/native tests and
27 privacy-route tests with isolated Docker Postgres. An abrupt process
test commits 1,000 records, receives receipts, dies by SIGKILL and loses
its directory; another process reads every byte and continues. The real
Rust Runner experiment acknowledges 32 records while the export cursor
is zero, then continues the same Runner PID after controller loss. All
64 records export once with exactly 64 existing control rows. Repeated
snapshot/Stop commands completed in 162/81 ms.
- Emulator workload: 1,000 burst records used two batch PUTs. Eight
steady streams produced 240 records with 104 conditional PUTs and 72
GETs over 6.9 seconds. These are synthetic operation counts, not fleet
sizing or provider prices.
- Failure evidence is retained. Compact native events over 64 KiB,
missing file-key support, disabled-scheduler retention and repair
failure handling all reproduced before their fixes. Fixture repairs
addressed cold module setup, localhost/IPC permissions, the S3
bucket-name limit and a mode-0700 crash-test directory. Full local `pnpm
test:run` was stopped after host PostgreSQL semaphore exhaustion;
affected suites used isolated Docker databases instead. Native package
library symlinks were restored with the package's standard hydration
helper.
- The `19f702d780` browser session-recovery case timed out while saving
a task title. All eight browser shards passed on `b3a44c898e`, including
that case, with no UI behavior or assertion change. Fresh-head CI passed
at `b3a44c898e`: 55 successful checks, three skipped checks and one
neutral check. The branch is conflict-free.
- Map and module-boundary checks passed. Current-head Greptile is 5/5
with zero unresolved review threads.

Reproduce the opt-in storage suites with
`PAPERCLIP_LOG_TEST_S3_ENDPOINT` and a dedicated
`PAPERCLIP_RUN_EVIDENCE_MIGRATION_DATABASE_URL` ending in `_test`. See
`doc/run-evidence-storage.md` for operating limits, automatic migration,
optional diagnostics and rollout qualification.

## Risks

- Keep the existing per-stack bucket, prefix and vault key stable across
replacements. Relocating that storage is a separate whole-instance
operation.
- This release automatically changes new log storage for existing
S3-configured instances. Local-disk instances remain local. Canonical
native source replay is qualified with a deterministic real Runner;
actual remote execution and production-provider qualification remain
rollout gates. Generic server-only diagnostics and optional raw trace
tails without a surviving source can be incomplete after a crash. This
does not establish full zero-downtime deployment.
- Before deploying this release, qualify the actual S3 provider. It must
enforce conditional writes and pass read, version, deletion, workload,
and latency qualification. A capability probe rejects providers which
ignore preconditions. Moto is emulator evidence only.
- Dirty output is bounded and unconfirmed until S3 publication. Storage
failure leaves persistence incomplete while task results and usage can
settle.
- Trace expiry is not yet represented by Cloud's external wake contract.
Outstanding trace deadlines conservatively block sleep.
- Automatic history copying requires the original source volume. Keep it
until all retained resources pass verified import and clean-filesystem
reads. Stop old binaries from creating new local-file runs. Missing or
corrupt history remains blocked and visible in server logs. Rollback
requires a compatible reader against the same external state. Ordinary
object deletion does not erase retained historical object versions or
backups.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, `gpt-6.1-sol`, with reasoning, tool use, code execution,
and browser verification. The runtime did not expose a context-window
size.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

DottaandPaperclip 2aa3ea47e3 Reduce restored workspace overhead and trace cache publication (#18240)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip runs agents in isolated workspaces.
> - A native sandbox turn must restore its workspace before the provider
starts.
> - Restored Git metadata can cause expensive work in the provider's
first snapshot.
> - Cache replay also hashes the same archives twice, and workspace
helpers open sessions that do not need output.
> - This pull request removes that repeated work and refreshes the
restored index before OpenCode starts.
> - It also adds cache-publication timings so the next measurement can
separate quota checks, lock waiting, and archive IO.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Native sandbox workspace preparation and copyback.

**Current behavior**

Cache replay validates shared archives, copies them, and validates them
again. Exit-status-only helpers use persistent sessions. A restored
checkout can make OpenCode's first snapshot recheck much of the
repository. Cache publication has an unexplained interval after archive
verification.

**Proposed behavior**

Validate the private archive copy that staging will consume. Use the
existing one-shot command path for helpers that only need an exit
status. Refresh the Git index after workspace transfer for a new native
OpenCode sandbox. Keep the refresh inside the awaited inbound barrier
and use the existing command timeout. Add nested publication spans.

**Reason and benefit**

Two matched local component pairs reduced preparation plus provider time
from 8.563/8.553 seconds to 7.313/7.511 seconds, including the refresh
cost. Two alternating remote copyback pairs reduced the median from
9.110 to 7.943 seconds. These are component results. They do not
establish an end-to-end hosted improvement.

Related: #18181 and the earlier closed #18195. This implementation uses
the existing fully awaited transfer boundary. It does not use an
optional preparation deadline.

## What Changed

- Materialize cache hits into caller-owned staging and validate those
exact bytes once. Remove incomplete copies on failure.
- Select the existing one-shot path for exit-status-only run and removal
helpers. Output-reading helpers keep their existing behavior.
- Refresh restored Git stat metadata before OpenCode starts. Enable this
only for newly acquired native OpenCode host-current workspaces. Skip
recovery and retained sandboxes. Keep dirty files unstaged, accept Git's
dirty-worktree status, and propagate real command errors.
- Trace cache capacity checks, eviction, the body after lock
acquisition, archive copy, sync, and hashing. Keep the operator endpoint
gate and bounded phase names.

## Verification

- On the rebased branch: 202 focused tests pass: 152 workspace
seed/cache/runtime tests, 27 managed command tests, and 23 native
workspace/tracing tests. Adapter TypeScript build and server typecheck
pass.
- Tests cover corrupted copies, cache changes after private
materialization, dirty working trees, quoted paths, recovery, the
awaited refresh barrier, real command failure, and company-lock
contention.
- A real-filesystem probe through the server phase mapper verified
parentage and endpoint-off behavior. A controlled lock wait stayed
outside the locked-publication span. No external export was used.
- A full local Core/Daytona replay on the pre-rebase implementation
saved its synthetic reply. It retained the pinned large public
workspace, all 209 skill files, positive Git context, and 66 tool
schemas. Both model calls stayed on sandbox loopback. Index refresh took
0.644 seconds and the first provider snapshot took 0.499 seconds. The
run took 162.004 seconds, including large laptop uploads; it is not a
hosted acceptance result or a matched end-to-end comparison. The failed
installer attempt remains recorded separately. Normal cleanup removed
all owned sandboxes.
- The current head passed 53 CI checks, with two optional skips.
Greptile is 5/5 on the exact head, with no open review threads. No
deployment or hosted latency claim is included.

## Risks

- Index refresh adds one awaited command. It uses the existing timeout.
A real Git failure stops preparation.
- Cache hits need temporary disk space for a private copy. Existing
corruption fallback and per-run recovery archives remain.
- One-shot command transport must preserve exit status and timeout
behavior across providers. The agent's native session and output-reading
helpers are unchanged.
- Local component gains are small relative to the remaining hosted
latency. Batch the fixes with the diagnostic spans; measure the actual
deployed path before claiming success.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The session does not expose the exact model SKU or
context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 61bd4ac691 feat(agents): set up Antigravity with saved Google subscriptions (#18189)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their work.
> - Users choose providers and managed accounts while adding agents.
> - Antigravity was missing from the ordinary additional-agent picker
and its saved Google path did not complete native readiness.
> - A user needs a successful Test, an enabled task action, and a stable
account binding.
> - This pull request connects the ordinary setup flow to the native
candidate.
> - It also preserves retired credential refreshes across database
failures and server restarts.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Built on merged #18188 and #18187. Refs: #12503, #14938 for related
legacy CLI proposals.

**Agent or provider**

Google Antigravity ACP 1.4.3.

**Why this adapter is useful**

Users need to set up an Antigravity agent and run real work through
their managed Google subscription.

**How the agent is invoked**

Native Paperclip Runner uses the pinned Antigravity ACP runtime. Exact
operator admission remains required; the local candidate result does not
enable general release.

## What Changed

- Show Google Antigravity in the ordinary adapter grid and preserve the
draft choice when setup resumes.
- Reuse the same user’s saved personal default Google subscription and
discover the exact low model through the native account.
- Run a prompt-free native Test and wait for authoritative readiness
before enabling task assignment.
- Carry the managed account through native runs and recover retired
refreshes through the existing encrypted, fsynced journal with exact
generation checks.
- Retain the latest rotated credential through verification, storage,
and partial home-removal failures. Retry the exact account’s retained
cleanup before another provider use.
- Reconcile cleanup before taking the credential mutation lock, fence
owners arriving during lock acquisition, and support nested lock holders
without a join cycle.
- Bound sign-in retirement outside database transactions and preserve
claims for the existing cleanup owner; one pending sign-in does not
block unrelated accounts.
- Cover Gemini and Pi API-key recovery, keep API-key bulk manual-model
editing usable, and keep adapter discovery available after candidate
expiry.
- Skip taskless native timer work before run or credential admission.
Preserve current master monitor and deadline scheduling.

## Verification

- The registered local saved-Google-subscription journey passed all 16
matchers in 196,520 ms using eval source `12aba` against actual serving
source `4a37ee7c`. Both turns stayed in one conversation, produced exact
downloaded files of 61 and 119 bytes after reload, and used distinct
native primary processes. All observed owners retired, leases released,
and credential fences settled. Independent readback confirmed Done work,
no active owned runs, a connected saved account, and the retained agent
paused for inspection.
- The measured runtime is production-equivalent to pre-restack
`65ef31dc` except its test-only transport fixture correction.
Current-master head `ff7c9249` preserves all 99 product paths: 98 exact
blobs and only eight inherited plugin-panel lines in `agents.ts`. Its
native binary was rebuilt for inherited Codex-only diagnostic changes;
the changed Rust behavior is outside Antigravity's ACPX execution path.
Shared native/UI changes have focused regression coverage. The recorded
live result is not represented as a measured replay of `ff7c9249`.
- Full workspace build and typecheck passed on `ff7c9249`. All 376
focused tests in 14 files passed, covering Google credential/retirement
controls and the inherited native-tool, redaction, route, and UI
recovery changes. Token gates, maps, and diff checks passed. The
required-close fixture was separately demonstrated red, then passed all
317 selected provider-wiring cases.
- [Current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40959387972)
is green: 55 successful checks, two skipped workflow checks, and an
optional neutral review check. Required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`
passed. Greptile and Paperclip Review both report 5/5 on exact
`ff7c9249`, with zero unresolved review threads.
- This qualifies the selected operator-authorized local
saved-subscription candidate. The original exploratory journey remains
historical evidence; the repeatable fixed-driver eval is in the next PR.

## Risks

- Google refresh recovery must preserve the exact grant, account, and
credential generation. An uncertain native owner or failed encrypted
handoff retains the private home and blocks cleanup.
- A successful local saved-subscription candidate does not qualify fresh
OAuth, API keys, Cloud, Linux, other models, or general release.
- Timer filtering changes only taskless native Runner admissions.
Existing task-bound monitors and legacy adapters retain their owners.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6). The host did not expose the exact model revision
or context limit. The model used tools for code edits, tests, and
review.

DottaandPaperclip f1911a4c53 perf(skills): move repository packages out of Postgres (#18082)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/205/changes/paperclip/205
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents receive selected company skills before each turn.
> - Imported skills can need files from the whole source repository.
> - The current path stores those files in Postgres and reads large JSON
payloads during preparation.
> - This pull request stores verified packages in the configured file or
object store and keeps preparation queries small.
> - It also converts old rows automatically and restores missing files
from the exact saved commit.
> - The result reduces database traffic while preserving skill versions
and repository dependencies.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Company skill import, version storage, and preparation before agent
turns.

**Current behavior**

Repository snapshot bodies live in JSONB. Skill preparation can read
those bodies again even when the files already exist on disk. Historical
packages and native assets also need a bounded cleanup path.

**Proposed behavior**

Store package archives and manifests through the existing storage
service. Keep version identities, receipts, hashes, and recovery
metadata in Postgres. Convert legacy rows after the stored package
passes read-back verification. A missing package can use legacy bytes or
its exact Git commit under current repository authorization. No separate
data-migration command is required.

**Reason and benefit**

The warm path sends no repository bodies through SQL and reads no object
bytes. Cleanup runs through the existing deadline coordinator. Current
versions, active runs, explicit pins, and authored content retain their
protection.

**Breaking changes**

The normal application schema upgrade is required. Single-version and
skill-file responses keep their existing shape. Version lists,
current-version summaries, and test-run version summaries now contain
file names and kinds without file bodies. Diff and restore fetch
selected versions through the existing single-version endpoint. Older
server builds must not write after conversion unless they support the
new package format. The storage override and rollback limits are
documented in `doc/skill-package-storage.md`.

**Additional context**

Related work: #15731 preserves repository dependencies; #17923 changes
version-cache scheduling; #18080 changes delivery to remote Codex homes.
This change owns package persistence, acquisition, and expiry. It does
not replace those delivery or scheduler changes.

## What Changed

- Add company-scoped archive receipts, exact-commit recovery recipes,
migration deadlines, and a durable object-deletion queue.
- Add bounded archive upload, read-back verification, extraction,
concurrent request coalescing, and verified local caches.
- Convert old snapshots and versions automatically. Keep legacy bytes
when verification fails.
- Recover missing files through current source authorization and the
original commit. Validate repository identity, file hashes, modes, and
the aggregate hash.
- Expire unused recoverable Git packages and native assets after 30
days. Preserve active pins and the durable copy of authored or unproven
content.
- Keep warm preparation queries metadata-only. Bound file digest caches
and avoid repeated body hashing when file identities are unchanged.
- Extend the existing storage contract with cancellation. Register
package work with the existing coordinator. Optional conversion retries
retain the original bytes and may wait for ingress without blocking
sleep.
- Add regression tests, operating guidance, a deep trace, benchmark
receipts, and an optional maintenance command.

## Verification

### Final master integration and review repair — October 29, 2026

Current head: `a6065424249e763dfeac37161f1b52a9f25bd9b7`. Commit
`f8bbdd3dbd` resolves the conflicts with master `76a796e964`; the final
two commits repair the Apex deletion findings below.

- Keep both package-maintenance and version-retention notifications in
their write transactions.
- Keep the shared run-pin predicate and master's controller-lease
deadline metadata. Package expiry reads the updated protected-version
result.
- Preserve every master migration entry. Generate migration **0415
(`0415_zippy_zemo.sql`)** after master's 0414. Its skill SQL is
byte-for-byte unchanged from the previously tested idempotent migration.
Retain only the five newest schema snapshots. Migration numbering and
safety checks pass.
- Repair failed file/folder deletion: preserve a complete temporary
subtree until transaction commit, restore on upload or SQL failure, and
restore callback failures before releasing the mutation lock. Both
PostgreSQL regressions reproduced missing files before the fix and now
pass. They cover binary data, executable permissions, empty folders,
unlisted files, unchanged database/version rows, successful retry after
upload-claim expiry, and historical reads.
- Reconcile lost commit replies under the same advisory and row locks.
Check the saved version and source identity before restoring. Keep
committed deletions intact and preserve backups when the database
outcome is unknown or a newer edit exists. Four real-PostgreSQL outcome
tests pass; the prior code failed three of them.
- Full workspace typecheck and production build pass on the final
commit. All **204** focused PostgreSQL package/cache/retention/authoring
and filesystem-boundary tests pass, with none skipped.
- Apex review **18 passes 5/5**, with zero new comments on the exact
final head. All **34** review conversations are resolved.
- [Final-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40914116508)
completes successfully on attempt 2. The head has **55 successful
checks**, two neutral reports, two skipped checks, and a successful Snyk
status. No checks are pending or failing. All eight browser shards pass.
- Runner Vitest 2/2 timed out once in the unchanged ACPX
controller-replacement fixture. The same job passed on the preceding
commit. One unchanged CI retry passes all five ACPX recovery cases,
**2,253** Runner package cases and **126** native server integration
cases; their standard one and five skips remain. The initial timeout's
root cause is not established. Local diagnosis also hit the fixture's
eight-second session.open timeout with an authenticated Runner; no local
Runner pass is claimed.
- Both full local `pnpm test:run` attempts were stopped when Apex
identified deletion defects and source repair became necessary; neither
is claimed as a passing full local run. The final **204** focused tests,
full workspace typecheck, and production build pass. Full-suite
acceptance uses the final-head CI jobs. The superseded merge-head CI
included runners terminated by shutdown signals; each source repair
started a new full run.

- Auto-merge is enabled for squash merge. The final head is
conflict-free and all checks pass. GitHub's active master ruleset still
requires a code-owner approval for the dependency files. The existing
review requests are with `devinfoley`, `nickyleach`, and `forgottendev`;
no policy bypass was used.
- The earlier hosted stress and full native receipts below remain tied
to `a2e597d800`; they are not relabeled as a deployment of this final
integration. The earlier local PostgreSQL startup failure remains
recorded below; PostgreSQL ran successfully for this integration
verification.

### Full native skill execution — October 29, 2026

The full native-agent acceptance gap is closed on candidate
`a2e597d800eb989d565780e7aa947d5368676444`. Two qualifying native turns
used OpenAI API / `gpt-5.4-mini` in real Daytona sandboxes, on the same
disposable hosted TEST tenant as the stress test. A follow-up on the
same task consumed a newly saved skill version.

The task text asked for the assigned skill workflow. It did not contain
the proof nonce or expected receipt. The assigned authored skill
contained a Python verifier and a random package-local nonce. The agent
read the actual installed skill files and executed that verifier against
the imported, automatically converted 1,360-file repository package. It
checked the repository file count and reference/binary bytes, and
directly executed the repository's executable probe. Independent
verification matched the emitted JSON to the nonce and expected byte
hashes. The agent persisted the same receipt as its task response;
native finalization committed, workspace finalization succeeded, and
task state became Done.

| Qualifying turn | End-to-end run time | Recorded skills.prepare |
Repository files | Binary hex | Shell receipt SHA-256 |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---|---|
| Initial task | 47.881 s | 1822 ms | 1360 | `00ff07800a` |
`a1deb30dc095f2306c7aa9cc5ec396da12c68961cf5b809f4d7c20f7fc68493b` |
| Corrected follow-up, new nonce/version | 37.974 s | 377 ms | 1360 |
`00ff07800a` |
`dbcdc33fa1376b4edc136feae1cdf770560a73292467e93619efdda20e4282a7` |

Both successful shell receipts reported `probe: STRESS18082` and
`assetSha256:
e8ea7a2f15f7bb3b332a46adbef848465884c8996595aa234748befd544d1f3a`. Their
proof nonces, selected version IDs and receipt hashes differed, and both
ran on the same task. These are observed timings, not latency SLOs; they
include real provider work. The service stress-test timings remain a
separate measurement boundary.

Earlier failures remain in the evidence:

- The original five-minute Daytona allocation timeout never reached
model execution. After normal owned-stack restore, its durable cleanup
record was `expired` / `success`. The cause of that original allocation
timeout remains unknown; a later success establishes recovery only.
- Initial continuation setup used unsupported generic agent-update
fields and returned HTTP 409 before dispatch. Setup was corrected to use
the supported skill-assignment and versioned instruction commands.
- The intervening completed native turn read repository bytes and ran
the probe, but omitted the verifier JSON under the older test agent's
overly-specific instruction file. Its strict receipt validator failed;
it is not counted as a qualifying turn. Correcting the test agent's
instruction file and sending an explicit task-scoped wake produced the
qualifying follow-up above.
- The pinned application's immutable rate card omits `gpt-5.4-mini`, so
completed usage triggered the normal block-on-unpriced budget policy.
Supported append-only accounting corrections estimated the three
completed runs using the [official OpenAI model rate
card](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/models/gpt-5.4-mini): $0.75
input, $0.075 cached input, $4.50 output per million tokens, assuming
standard processing. Estimates totaled 12.482655 cents. Original usage
and missing-price records are preserved; the $1 hard stop and
unpriced-usage guard stayed active.
- Model shell attempts included a missing `xxd` command and incorrect
guessed file paths. Those failed calls and subsequent successful actual
verifier calls remain visible in complete event streams. No
zero-tool-error claim is made.

No product source changed during this continuation. The previously
measured contention, cold-start and memory limits remain. The later
merge resolution is covered by the separate integration checks above;
these hosted receipts qualify their recorded candidate.


### Hosted stress test — October 29, 2026

**Hosted acceptance:** full native-agent execution and a changed-skill
follow-up pass on the recorded hosted candidate. The final integration
section above records the subsequent conflict resolution and its
separate checks.

Tested baseline `929e840595c8933ca485ac7a2e99413e1e11ca64` and this
exact candidate sequentially on one disposable TEST tenant, with
external Neon PostgreSQL and actual S3. The fixture contained **1,360
files / 22.4 MB / ten skills sharing one repository**. Measurements
cover deployed skill-preparation and native-context services in an
adjacent diagnostic process, not a complete agent turn. The container
had **24 vCPU / 24 GB**.

| Warm workload | Median before → after | p95 before → after | DB
returned value bytes/preparation before → after |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| One skill, serial | 1,060 → 125 ms | 1,303 → 155 ms | 22,610,389 →
1,771 |
| One skill, four concurrent | 4,415 → 297 ms | 5,143 → 328 ms |
22,610,389 → 1,771 |
| Ten skills, serial | 5,723 → 535 ms | 6,057 → 600 ms | 224,739,030 →
10,671 |
| Ten skills, four concurrent | 24,410 → 1,986 ms | 24,833 → 2,221 ms |
224,739,030 → 10,671 |

- Candidate warm preparation performed **zero S3 GETs**. Ordinary-pool
queries fell from 16 to 9 for one skill and 61 to 9 for ten, excluding
dedicated lock connections. DB numbers measure returned values before
Drizzle decoding, not wire bytes. Baseline/candidate sample counts were
30/100, 32/100, 5/50 and 8/48 respectively; the small baseline ten-skill
samples are comparative evidence, not SLO estimates.
- **Application-UID soak:** 800 ten-skill preparations over 10.3
minutes, four workers paced by 2.5 seconds; **zero failures**, median
**559 ms**, p95 **775 ms**, p99 **910 ms**, zero warm S3 reads. All 726
accompanying health/company-list requests returned HTTP 200. Their
end-to-end p95 was 569/502 ms, including network latency. The probe
overlaps most of the soak. Soak DB-response capture was limited to its
first 60 seconds.
- **Important remaining costs:** an unpaced 16-way ten-skill burst had
p95 **8.32 seconds** because company-level preparation serializes. Cold
preparation took approximately **1.1–2.5 seconds** for one skill and
**7.4–10.0 seconds** for ten. Ten-skill diagnostic RSS remained about
**1.17 GiB** (baseline 1.18 GiB), and the soak peaked at **1.35 GiB**. A
concurrent whole-container sample was 3.45 GB. This does not establish
suitability for a small-memory host or eliminate per-entrypoint native
asset duplication.
- **Upgrade without a manual data migration passed:** legacy snapshot
JSON shrank from 22,465,691 bytes to `[]`, with a stored package and
zero pending conversions.
- **Recovery passed:** sixteen concurrent cold requests coalesced into
two S3 GETs; full bytes/binary/executable modes matched; same-size
corruption repaired; an injected storage failure preserved warm access
and failed cold access safely. A disabled public-Git source denied
recovery, and after the actual five-minute backoff its exact SHA
reconstructed all 229 files. Cross-company descriptor access was denied.
Private-Git credential revocation was not tested.
- **Retention passed:** reclaimed 27,754,496 allocated cache bytes,
deleted an unreferenced package row and both objects, preserved aged
authored history, and expired/reacquired reconstructible Git content. A
version pinned by the failed native run was correctly retained. Only
owned fixture timestamps were aged.
- **Browser UI passed:** authored skill creation, saved edit surviving
reload, version history, and restoration of earlier content.
- **Initial native attempt (superseded by the qualifying turns above):**
one real run failed at Daytona allocation after five minutes
(`setup_failed`), before any model execution. Provider cleanup also
reported failure. That attempt does not count as a passing native turn.
Its receipt and all evidence remain preserved; its cleanup later
recorded success after normal restoration.
- Initial A/B commands ran as SSH root. Diagnostic-owned lock/cache
permissions caused one setup HTTP 500 and the first UID-1000 soak to
fail; exact fixture paths were repaired. The final soak, retention and
recovery ran as application UID 1000. A fresh UID-1000 one-skill batch
also passed (30 samples, median 116 ms, p95 321 ms, 1,771 DB value
bytes/preparation). Earlier harness-export, SSH, npm provenance, backoff
and UI-wait failures remain recorded alongside their successful retries.
- Private evidence includes raw timings, assertions, HTTP probes,
screenshots and failure/cleanup receipts. Initial failed-campaign
cleanup suspended and retained the owned TEST tenant and released the
shared QA account lease at **15:22:41 UTC**. The tenant was subsequently
resumed under its existing ownership for the native execution
qualification above. Final cleanup completed at **15:53:09 UTC**: the
account lease is released and the tenant is suspended/retained under the
original October 30, 12:24:52 UTC retention deadline. Its separate stack
lease remains held; no active or pending-cleanup environment lease
remained. The original retention window is deliberately preserved even
after successful continuation.

- Earlier hosted-tested head:
`a2e597d800eb989d565780e7aa947d5368676444`, integrated with master
`929e840595`. The earlier merge conflicts were resolved at this head.
[Current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40884087629)
passed; all checks are complete with 55 successes, two neutral reports,
two skips, and no failures. [Apex review
15](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18082#issuecomment-6480257258)
passed 5/5 with zero findings on this exact head. All review
conversations are resolved.
- Ten real-filesystem boundary cases and server typecheck pass locally
for the security fix. Coverage includes cache roots, descendants,
individual files, symlink aliases, recursive ancestors, a future
concurrent cache fill, and allowed sibling directories. [Current-head

tests](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40884087629/job/123483306405)
passed all 29 cases, including authorized and unauthorized imports of a
cached private package. Full typecheck, build, server suites, all eight
browser shards, and Runner checks passed in current-head CI. Local
database tests could not run because PostgreSQL could not initialize;
this limitation is recorded below.
- The earlier generated migration preserved the newest five snapshots.
The final integration renumbers its unchanged SQL to 0415. Migration
safety/numbering checks pass. Its SQL is byte-for-byte identical to the
previously verified idempotent skill migration; repeated application on
this latest schema was blocked by the same local database startup
failure.
- The broader verification before the final migration-only rebase passed
1,025 package, lifecycle, remote-launch, native-session, and
asset-retention tests, 52 focused UI tests, full workspace
typecheck/build, token gates, and map checks. The linked complete CI run
passed before the latest focused fixes.
- A disposable MinIO instance passed multipart upload, verified
read-back, and cold restoration of an 18 MB archive.
- Twenty warm samples with a synthetic 1,349-file, 22.8 MB repository
retained five metadata queries and zero object reads. Median preparation
was 256 ms for one selected skill and 691 ms for ten, with 5 ms emulated
network delay each way. These are local measurements, not production
latency guarantees.
- No production instance was changed. Earlier verification failures and
their disposition are retained below.

<details>
<summary>Earlier failures, review findings, fixes, and rerun
evidence</summary>

- The first CI pass found a stale inventory-span expectation and a
missing repository-read span. Both are fixed; all three observability
tests pass. One browser test copied page text into its YAML parser after
reload; its first unchanged-head retry passed, but the race recurred
after rebasing. The test now waits for the renamed URL and completed
reload before copying the editor, retaining its original assertions. The
earlier full local suite did not complete cleanly: it reported setup
timeouts and assertions, while isolated relevant reruns passed. The
complete current-head CI run closes that broad verification gap. No
production instance was changed.

- The first Apex review scored 2/5 and identified six issues. The fixes
protect authored history even when it shares an in-flight Git upload,
recheck upload expiry during orphan deletion, bound failed-upload
cleanup, retain per-version kind/encoding metadata, add sanitized
failure diagnostics, and correct the migration guide. The final focused
run passes all 140 tests; the preceding eight-file run passed all 149
tests, including local storage and S3 diagnostics. Server typecheck and
migration safety/numbering checks pass after the fixes. The second Apex
review scored 1/5 and found unbounded maintenance storage calls and
mismatched package/Git batch limits. Those are fixed with a 30-second
cancellable cleanup deadline, shared 100 MiB/10,000-file scanner and
storage limits, and bounded Git read batches. The proposed manual
lockfile edit was rejected with evidence of the enforced CI-owned
lockfile policy. All 19 storage/recovery unit tests and server
typechecking pass. The new database-backed cleanup/conversion tests were
locally skipped because the host exhausted its PostgreSQL semaphore
capacity (confirmed directly by initdb). That gap is closed by
current-head CI: [package-store
tests](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40771320775/job/123109300889)
pass all 18 cases and [package-worker
tests](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40771320775/job/123109301157)
pass all 7, with no skips in either suite. The corrected YAML browser
shard passes. A separate planning-fixture test failed its cleanup DELETE
with an activity-log foreign key violation after its behavior assertions
passed; its one unchanged-head retry passed. The third Apex review
scored 1/5 and identified a one-slot pool deadlock, projected path
limits, cleanup holding the preparation lock during archive reads, and a
publication/expiry race. These are fixed with transaction-local reads,
prefix-aware bounds, isolated verification, and shared package row locks
with a publication grace. The separate Paperclip review also found stale
historical inspection, eager history downloads, and conversion retries
blocking sleep. Those are fixed. Local PostgreSQL capacity recovered:
the new database regressions ran, including the one-slot fork, paused
storage during a warm turn, and a locked publication during expiry. The
expanded run passed 144/145 tests; its remaining assertion still
expected file bodies from the version list and was updated to fetch the
selected version. The corrected company-skill suite passes all 81 tests,
and the final package/projection run passes all 27. All 52 focused UI
tests pass after updating their query-provider fixtures; the first UI
run exposed a fixture remount, and the follow-up exposed an editing
syntax error, both corrected. Full workspace typecheck and build, token
gates, and map checks pass. The sandbox initially blocked the build
tool’s local IPC socket; the authorized build rerun passed. Master then
claimed migration 0401. The branch is rebased on f8226b0515, the
unchanged SQL is regenerated as 0402, and repeated application passed
twice on the combined schema. Post-rebase workspace typecheck passes.
All 1,025 package, lifecycle, remote-launch, native-session, and
asset-retention tests pass on the combined head. All CI checks passed
for head 9d80a3b52d. The fourth Apex review scored 3/5 and found a
save/edit lock-order cycle, a retry retaining an uncommitted source ID
in its recovery recipe, and a summary read racing conversion. Commit
b7d9237c6a fixes all three. The new concurrency and retry tests pass
within all 61 package/source tests, and server typecheck passes. Master
then claimed migration 0402. The branch is now rebased on 65fa1cd617 and
the unchanged SQL is regenerated as 0403. All 68 package, source, and
worker regressions, server typecheck, migration safety/numbering, and
repeated migration application pass on current head 62553671a0.
Subsequent verification and review outcomes are recorded below.


- The fifth Apex review scored 4/5 and found cached version reads
unnecessarily depending on object storage and conversion reads missing
the coordinator cancellation signal. Commit 1eb90d80be fixes both:
cached reads verify bytes without the preparation lock; manifest and
archive reads carry cancellation through conversion. The first focused
run passed 70/71 tests, including all three new cases, but the existing
diagnostic test observed no warning. Its fixture now sets an explicitly
expired migration deadline; the final worker suite passes all nine
cases. Server typecheck passes.


- The sixth Apex review scored 4/5 with one finding: concurrent cached
inventories were unbounded. Commit 4b7589e14c gives cached inventories
and previews a two-reader/32-waiter limit independent of cold storage.
The first expanded pressure test observed a third reader before the
preview path had the same bound; both paths now share the local limit.
All 73 focused cases pass, followed by all 29 package cases after the
final overload adjustment; server typecheck passes. The separate
Paperclip review found no must-fix or should-fix issues. Its optional
suggestion to persist durability verification was considered: cleanup
intentionally verifies current external bytes before discarding the last
local authored copy, and the missing-object regression requires that
check. Shared-package eviction happens on cold fills with at most two
attempts and a ten-second budget.


- The seventh Apex review reached 5/5 with one remaining P2:
timeout-bearing manifest reads bypassed request coalescing. The security
review also found repeated archive acquisition after a cold
administrative read. Commit 79a80a39d2 shares manifest loads with
per-caller cancellation and cancels the underlying work when the last
caller leaves; coalesces identical cold version/file requests; and
publishes verified restored packages into the shared cache. Publication
uses a short nonblocking lock, while eviction verification runs outside
it. The first expanded run passed 73/74 tests and exposed a missing
originating DB for cache publication inside read-only inspection;
transaction readers now pass that owner explicitly, keeping metadata on
the transaction. The corrected run passed 75/75. A final eviction test
initially expected the shared package to remain after only its separate
runtime projection was reused; it now explicitly accesses the shared
package during verification. All 32 final package tests pass, including
independent caller cancellation, one acquisition across
concurrent/repeated reads, and warm preparation during stalled eviction
verification. Server typecheck passes.


- The eighth Apex review scored 4/5 with one finding: decoded cold
inventories outlived the storage semaphore while waiting for cleanup.
Commit 9d7921d1ec adds a separate two-response/32-waiter lifetime bound
held through cleanup, preserving the independent warm-read queue and
forwarding cancellation through eviction verification. The new
regression pauses cleanup after two responses decode, verifies a third
archive stays queued, and completes warm preparation before releasing
cleanup. All 77 package/source/worker cases and server typecheck pass.
On the preceding head, serialized server shard 6/9 was interrupted with
“The operation was canceled” after 57 seconds of tests; the log contains
no failing assertion. Fresh latest-head CI reruns that shard along with
the other gates.

- The ninth Apex review scored 4/5 with one P1: cold responses could own
both permits while waiting on a one-slot ordinary database pool held by
a queued transaction reader. Commit a94f0e409f reads caller-scoped
metadata before admission and isolates all acquisition/cleanup SQL on a
private connection. The new real-PostgreSQL regression reproduces the
deadlock against the previous head and passes with the fix; all 78
focused cases and server typecheck pass. The previous CI run completed
with 54 successful checks, including both formerly interrupted/stuck
serialized shards.

- The tenth Apex review scored 4/5 with one P1: preloading legacy bodies
before admission could retain many full repositories in queued requests.
Commit 276e353a37 removes that preload and also bounds legacy manifest
derivation/fallback, using private connections inside the I/O slot. All
80 focused tests pass; the final synchronized package suite passes all
36 tests and server typecheck passes.

- Apex review 11 returned 5/5 with zero comments on 276e353a37. While it
ran, master 8bc051245f added migration 0403, creating a metadata
conflict. Merge commit e1783764d9 integrates master and generates
0404_clumsy_leo.sql; its skill SQL is byte-for-byte identical to the
previously verified migration. The combined schema passes migration
safety/numbering, repeated SQL application twice, all 80 focused
PostgreSQL tests, full workspace typecheck, and full build. The
preceding a94f0e409f CI run was superseded and cancelled while its final
runner job was active; no old-head success is claimed for that run.

- Final acceptance: Apex review 12 returned 5/5 with zero comments on
e1783764d9. All 28 review threads are resolved. The final head has 55
successful checks, two neutral reports, two skipped checks, and no
pending or failing checks; the PR workflow completed successfully.
Superseded run 40789121902 was cancelled to free its workflow slot for
the final head; normal cancellation did not finish promptly, so force
cancellation completed it.

- October 29 conflict resolution (867c00673b): master 929e840595 added
installed-selection reuse and bundled relocation, routine cleanup
notifications, a hardened YAML copy helper, and migrations through 0413.
The merge retains those behaviors together with package read scoping and
the public-selection fast path; restricted selections still reauthorize
and the full row read rechecks scope. Generated migration 0414 retains
the existing SQL unchanged. Workspace typecheck/build and migration
checks pass. Local database verification is unavailable: initdb reports
semget / “could not create semaphores: No space left on device”; all 168
cases skipped, and repeated migration application failed at startup.
Docker returned HTTP 500 during container creation, so no Docker test
pass is claimed. Current-head CI must close this gap.

- Apex review 14 scored 3/5 with one P1: a local import could copy
cached private package files into a company-wide skill. Commit
a2e597d800 rejects cache trees and ancestors through a canonical
filesystem boundary, including aliases and ancestors checked before a
concurrent fill. Ten local filesystem tests and server typecheck pass.
The existing private-project integration case now rejects package-cache
imports for both authorized and unauthorized users. The preceding merge
commit’s complete CI run passed, and logs confirm all 168 locally
skipped cases executed successfully: package store 36, sources 35,
package worker 9, runtime selection 4, observability 3, authoring 81.

- Apex review 15 returned 5/5 with zero new findings on a2e597d800. The
separate Paperclip review found no must-fix or should-fix issues. Its
optional suggestions were considered: unexpected filesystem cleanup
failures remain visible, the durable marker cannot replace checking that
bytes still exist before deleting a last local authored copy, and
administrative history batching remains outside the pre-turn
optimization. The cache-path literal centralization suggestion is also
optional; the current producer and guard use the same directory, covered
by the new integration regression. All review conversations are
resolved.

- Earlier October 29 CI/Apex acceptance: a2e597d800 was mergeable at
that check, Apex review 15 passed 5/5 with zero findings, and all review
conversations were resolved. The hosted verification above records the
later acceptance limits and renewed conflicts. Workflow 40884087629
completed successfully, with 55 successful checks, two neutral reports,
two skips, and no pending or failed checks. The project-skill-sources
job log confirms all 29 cases ran and passed, closing the latest
integration gap. The preceding merge workflow also confirmed all 168
focused database cases ran and passed. No local PostgreSQL or Docker
pass is claimed.

</details>

## Risks

- First use after eviction can require storage or Git access. Revoked
grants, removed sources, and unreachable commits can prevent
reconstruction. Recovery never substitutes a newer commit.
- Historical packages without a proven recipe keep durable bytes.
Cleanup favors retention when a run pin cannot be interpreted safely.
- New uploads and conversion use bounded work and persisted retries.
Large initial conversions still add temporary storage and database load.
- Optional cleanup can wait until the next server wake. Supported
notifications assume one owning server process.
- Per-entrypoint native tree duplication and cold preparation cost
remain. The final ten-skill cold sample took 47.6 seconds on the shared
host.
- Generic authored edits can still hold an existing edit transaction
while a package uploads.
- Explicit file/folder deletion uses temporary disk space for rollback.
An uncertain commit with a changed skill or unavailable database retains
that backup and logs its location for recovery.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 247de89eae fix(runner): preserve warm tasks during recovery (#18169)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and the lifetime of its execution
resources.
> - A warm native task can keep one Runner alive between successful
turns.
> - Foreground completion selects whether that resource stays running or
stops.
> - Background recovery must use the same selected policy.
> - Recovery currently reads that policy only from workspace copy-back
records.
> - A task without such a record can be stopped immediately after
foreground retention.
> - This pull request saves the resource policy with the native runtime
and permits the retained task to refresh its control connection.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Background native finalization can stop a successful warm Runner when
its run has no Core workspace-sync record. Foreground completion retains
that same task. The stopped Runner cannot receive the later drain and
suspend commands. Cold resume then correctly rejects its unproven
checkpoint.

Hosted diagnostics confirmed the recovery reconciler attempted
environment release immediately after foreground retention. The provider
connection returned HTTP 404 within the same second. A database-backed
regression reproduced the stop without a workspace-sync record.

A separate authorization gap also prevents the current retained task
from refreshing its connection endpoint after the run succeeds.

**Expected behavior**

Foreground completion and recovery must use the selected resource
policy. A successful warm task stays running until its idle shutdown can
suspend it. Failed or cancelled work still stops. The current retained
task can refresh its existing control route, but cannot prepare or
submit new execution.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Select a warm native runtime on a reusable remote execution
environment.
2. Complete a turn without a Core workspace-sync record.
3. Let native finalization recovery settle the still-active run lease
before foreground retention finishes.
4. Before this change, recovery defaults to `stop_and_retain` and
invokes the provider stop path.
5. Separately, request the retained task's connection endpoint after
successful completion. Before this change, Core rejects that request.

**Paperclip version/commit**

The hosted failure used Core 31b927e301.
Regressions also reproduced on master at 6d59f5ef7.

**Deployment mode**

A remote native execution environment with reusable warm tasks. The
resource policy is generic and applies across harnesses and providers.

Related recovery coverage: Refs #18161. This change preserves the
suspended-checkpoint admission guard. Existing tasks without the newly
saved policy retain the previous conservative fallback; deployments must
drain or recover them explicitly.

## What Changed

- Save the selected native resource disposition in the existing
runtime-selection transaction. Add no startup database round trip or
network request.
- Read this small policy in background settlement and recovery when no
workspace-sync record exists. Preserve valid workspace-sync policies and
export-retry behavior.
- Keep failed and cancelled runs out of warm retention.
- Permit connection refresh for a successful, dispatched warm task on
its current retained reusable lease. Keep retirement, termination,
expiry, saved-run identity, and plugin capability checks.
- Add database-backed retention and selection regressions,
failure/cancellation coverage, and bounded projection checks. Document
the lifecycle and access contracts.

## Verification

- Before the source edits, the no-workspace-sync regression invoked the
driver with `stop_and_retain` instead of retaining the lease. Both
runtime-selection cases failed because the resource policy was absent.
- After the source edits, those regressions and both
run-state/runtime-selection files passed. The three-file run had 77
passes and two new fixture expectation failures. Those fixtures were
corrected. Final-head GitHub CI passed, including the server suites,
Runner checks, typecheck, build, and E2E gates. The local rerun was
deferred at the user's request.
- Commands: `node_modules/.bin/vitest run
server/src/__tests__/native-environment-settlement-work.test.ts
server/src/services/heartbeat/runtime-selection.test.ts
server/src/services/heartbeat/run-state.test.ts`.
- The connection authorization regression failed before its edit. All 34
tests in `server/src/__tests__/environment-task-runtime.test.ts` then
passed.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check` passed.
- No comprehensive local suite was run. Further local tests and VM
reproductions were stopped at the user's request to conserve battery and
mobile data. GitHub CI verifies the final head.
- Hosted verification of this patch requires deployment after merge.
Passing pre-patch retries did not establish repair of the original
failure.

- Standard Greptile and the subsequent requested Apex review both
returned **5/5** on `360bcd7e789d65950c27484af237faec02553666`, with no
inline findings.

## Risks

- This adds one server-owned field to the existing run profile JSON; no
migration is required. Invalid or absent policy keeps the previous
conservative fallback.
- Valid workspace-sync disposition remains authoritative. Pending export
and failed finalization still use stop-and-retain safety behavior.
- Retained connection access requires a successful run, matching saved
run identity, dispatched warm task, unexpired reusable lease, and no
retirement or termination. Superseded leases and new execution remain
denied.
- The cold-resume checkpoint proof is unchanged. This patch does not
make the already-stopped task's unsuspended checkpoint resumable.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The host does not expose a more specific serving model ID or
context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 6f278dd6d7 fix(runtime): settle recovery lease and connection lifecycles (#18167)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - A remote runner can survive a controller restart.
> - Recovery renews its execution lease during slow preparation.
> - The native executor then shares that renewal timer.
> - Preparation kept its reference until all finalization finished. A
tick after lease release treated completion as ownership loss and
detached the retained runner.
> - A Linux continuity test also found that buffered wire events could
arrive before their connection was registered. Cleanup then kept a
completed promise under an undefined key and never finished.
> - This pull request transfers renewal ownership after execution
acquires its reference. It also registers each connection before wire
callbacks can run.
> - Recovered turns can complete, retain the warm runner, and settle
connection cleanup.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A recovered remote run could complete, release its coordinator lease,
then detach during instruction collection. The next turn could find the
old runner still using the ingress port. Recovery then stopped because
it could not prove process ownership.

**Expected behavior**

Preparation keeps the lease alive until execution owns renewal.
Execution stops renewal before releasing the lease. Actual ownership
loss still detaches the runner. Buffered wire callbacks must use the
registered connection, and cleanup must finish.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Recover an in-flight remote runner after a controller restart.
2. Let the recovered turn complete.
3. Hold instruction collection open through the next lease renewal tick.
4. Send a follow-up that needs the retained runner.

Related: #17439 introduced remote controller recovery. #18011 preserves
checkpoint authority through warm preparation. This change fixes the
lifetime of preparation's renewal reference.

## What Changed

- Pass an internal lease-acquired callback from recovery through
heartbeat dispatch.
- Release preparation's renewal reference after the executor registers
its own. Keep final cleanup for exits before dispatch.
- Add a PostgreSQL regression for completion while finalization is still
pending. Cover callback forwarding, acquire-before-release ordering, and
failure before dispatch.
- Register the authority connection before subscribing to wire events.
Handle an immediate close before accepting buffered data.
- Add regressions for a message or close delivered during subscription.
- Extend Linux continuity coverage with preparation renewal and delayed
instruction collection after recovery.
- Update the continuity guide and session verification recipes.

## Verification

- The new recovery regression failed before the fix because renewal
detached the runner after lease release. The 76 recovery, renewal, and
dispatch tests then passed. The final ordering and early-exit checks
passed again after replacing fixed sleeps with controlled interval
ticks.
- Both buffered-wire regressions failed before the connection fix. All
170 control-plane tests passed afterward. Existing tests cover stale
authority, ownership loss, pending operations, and closed ingress.
- Linux ARM64 acceptance passed at
`a7daefacceb8bd994d0b79d284cdf54f3e3829d1`, with Node 24.19.0,
PostgreSQL, the real Rust runner, TLS ingress, and a deterministic Codex
protocol fixture. The test interrupted the first turn, recovered it,
held finalization open for a renewal interval, and completed two
follow-ups. It retained one provider process, three turns in one
history, and the same runner identity. Final suspension and connection
cleanup completed. The ordinary warm-reuse case also passed three turns
with one provider process.
- Earlier Linux attempts completed the turns but hung during cleanup. A
debugger found a fulfilled promise keyed by an undefined connection. The
regression reproduces that defect. One later setup attempt timed out
while staging an unstripped 373 MB debug binary. The passing run used
the same binary with debug symbols removed.
- Reproduce Linux acceptance with the `same-server` case in
`doc/testing-native-remote-continuity.md`.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, map validation, and `git diff
--check` passed at the final revision. The full local `pnpm test:run`
command was attempted, but the serial run had not finished after 13
minutes. It was stopped after the equivalent CI lanes passed. It is not
counted as a full local pass.
- Greptile and the Paperclip review both scored the final revision 5/5
with no findings. All Runner verification lanes passed. The first CI
attempt hit timing failures in voice recovery, agent YAML configuration,
and the task-title outage browser test. The full YAML and voice-recovery
files passed locally (88 and 19 tests). These paths were unchanged and
passed on the prior revision. All three passed on the single retry.
Final current-head status: 55 successful checks, one neutral check, and
two skipped Storybook checks. No pending or failed checks remain.
- Live Daytona/model acceptance and recovery of the hosted task remain
unverified. This PR does not deploy the change.

## Risks

- Releasing preparation before execution starts renewal could leave a
gap in authority. The callback runs after the executor registers its
reference.
- Preparation errors must not leak renewal. The recovery promise retains
idempotent final cleanup.
- Wire callbacks can run during subscription. Message and close
regressions check that registration is complete before either callback
runs.
- No schema, API, model, permission, lease duration, or retry policy
changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser diagnostics. The exact serving model identifier
and context window are not exposed in this session.

ba07f85cad perf: schedule agent timers from durable deadlines (#17876)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/58/changes/paperclip/58
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent timers must start due work and preserve queue admission rules.
> - The server woke their scan on every heartbeat interval, even with no
eligible timer.
> - Idle scans keep the database and instance active.
> - This pull request derives the next deadline from saved policy and
work records.
> - Supported producer transactions notify the shared coordinator when
eligibility changes.
> - An idle timer worker stops scanning and resumes when real work or a
deadline requires it.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17863. This is slice 63 of the recurring-work migration and
follows the merged issue-monitor deadline PR.

Related: #16632 changes timer issue scope; #16881 changes live-run
eligibility. This PR preserves the current admission policy. Those
policy changes are separate work. A future time-sensitive predicate must
expose its next transition deadline.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Agent timer heartbeat scheduling in the server.

**Current behavior**

A recurring heartbeat wakes the timer scan even when companies are
paused, timers are disabled, or no actionable task exists.

**Proposed behavior**

Register the earliest eligible interval or positive daily-cap reset
deadline. Re-read on supported producer commits and startup. Leave no
recurring database scan when no timer obligation remains.

## What Changed

- Keep policy and deadline calculation in the heartbeat queue.
Scheduling retains company, reporting-chain, worktree, and CAS gates.
- Use the existing deadline coordinator. Remove only the timer wake from
the server heartbeat loop.
- Notify before existing transaction writes that change eligibility or
deadlines. Cover configuration, lifecycle, company budgets, task
ownership, recovery, conversations, accounting corrections, and
completion.
- Use the lifecycle status-change hook for saved hire rejection. Cover
checkout's second adoption transaction after an initial failed CAS.
- Preserve pending work through idle and maintenance drains. Check
cancellation between due agents. Reconstruct on restart.
- Document the supported writer model and producer inventory. Add no
schema, table, or provider branch.

## Verification

- **1,710 passing cases across 49 complete files**, no skips, on
accepted source `32db86c1974dcbf794f01a8c5e42024e2ad071fc`. Coverage
includes real timer policy/CAS/producers, monitor and shared deadline
consumers, native reconstruction, Slack lifecycle,
skills/settings/configuration, queue isolation and agent lifecycle.
- Database build, production server typechecking/build, module
boundaries, target migration order and Runner profile identity pass.
Twenty-nine fresh PostgreSQL 17 schemas plus per-file fixtures applied
all 412 journal entries through index 413; all selected source hashes
and temporary fixture imports were restored exactly.
- Four new deadline composition cases verify future/overdue timing,
minimum scan spacing and disarming. A controlled mutation dropping only
the inherited continuation option fails; the composed source passes with
identical assertions and timers.
- Normal parent reconciliation preserves task-drain expiry and both
deadline contracts. The final monitor-parent publication changes only
its audit, preserving every qualified runtime and selected test source.
- Historical failures and review corrections remain in [the timer
audit](doc/idle-agent-timers.md). No full local repository-suite, live
provider, measured suspend/wake, external-alarm or fleet-savings claim.
Final-head CI/security, exact-head Greptile 5/5 and actionable Ponytail
findings remain separate merge gates.

## Risks

- Process-local notifications cover supported service/API writers in one
server process. Direct SQL and independent replicas need an explicit
ingress contract. Startup reconstruction is not live cross-process
notification.
- Notifications can batch for up to the configured heartbeat interval.
Known deadlines retain their scheduler path; failed reconciliation
retains bounded retry.
- Enabled timers without an actionable-work requirement remain real
recurring obligations. Zero caps require policy changes; positive
reached caps use UTC midnight.
- The timer fixture substitutes adapter enqueue. Existing admission
tests also pass, but this is not deployed provider or sleep
qualification.
- Cloud does not gain legacy agent timer alarms in this PR. Existing
sleep-safety blockers remain. No database/host suspension or fleet
savings claim is made.
- Parent-stack CI and review must pass before merge. This PR does not
authorize merging its dependencies.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6-based coding agent), using repository inspection,
normal Git merges, composition proofs, a controlled red/green regression
and complete PostgreSQL integration suites. No subagents were used in
this reconciliation.

DottaandPaperclip b81b870732 Add QA smoke journeys and OpenCode run traces (#18098)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Product E2E journeys verify saved application behavior across
deployments.
> - Task creation and questions need reusable smoke selections and exact
run attribution.
> - Operators also need to inspect the OpenCode execution behind a
measured question.
> - Company observability does not currently support native OpenCode.
> - This change adds the journeys and a bounded projection of normalized
OpenCode run events.
> - The projection follows the configured capture policy and retains the
current run identity across warm reuse.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related foundation: #17262. Related alternative: #17989 exports metadata
from OpenCode's native OTLP stream. This change uses normalized run
events to support the existing content switches and per-run linkage. It
does not forward the native stream. The two PRs overlap in launch
registration and must be reconciled before both land.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Reusable Product E2E smoke selections and company observability for
native OpenCode.

**Current behavior**

The journey catalog lacks reusable task creation and attached-agent
question checks. Native OpenCode is marked unsupported for company
observability, so a successful destination connection test does not
prove that agent traces will appear.

**Proposed behavior**

Add explicit task-create and ask-question selections. Verify saved state
and exact company, issue, agent, model, environment and successful run
attribution. Export normalized OpenCode turns, tools and usage to the
configured OTLP destination. Honor each capture switch and redact known
secrets.

**Reason and benefit**

CI can run a small measured smoke selection, retain its screenshots and
checks, and link results to traces belonging to the same run.

**Breaking changes**

Existing selectors remain unchanged. OpenCode export is opt-in through
existing company settings. Legacy OpenCode stays unsupported.

## What Changed

- Add reusable task creation and question journeys, configured-agent
capability, owned-fixture checkpoints and strict evidence validation.
- Add an OpenCode-owned projection of normalized run events. No provider
SDK or raw payload schema enters heartbeat coordination.
- Extend the private launch union and reserved environment allowlist for
native OpenCode. With export disabled, no receiver request runs.
- Keep destination headers in the parent wrapper and out of the actual
provider child environment and configuration.
- Bound each turn to 64 tool and 64 usage entries, 8 KiB per text field
and a 1 MiB request. Use a three-second request deadline, four
concurrent exports, and no retries or idle worker.
- Pass the rotated runner authority to each proxy turn. A retained
process no longer attributes later turns to its original launch run.
- Update settings copy, observability documentation and capability maps.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed after the implementation
changes.
- Adapter launch/redaction: 9 tests passed. Projection and actual proxy:
12 tests passed before the review fix; the expanded projection suite
passed all 12 cases after the fix. The proxy test exercises two runs in
one process against a real local HTTP receiver and a fake provider.
- Full OpenCode driver/projection suite: 72 passed, one existing
response_wake test timed out at five seconds. A focused check then
passed both existing omitted-continuation cases and the new trace export
case. The timeout cause remains unconfirmed.
- Runner package TypeScript and Rust `cargo check` passed. Map and UI
token checks passed.
- Prior journey validation: 273 tests across 12 files and the journey
TypeScript check passed.
- Broad local `pnpm test:run` encountered native-runtime integration
failures with repeated embedded PostgreSQL initialization failures and
was stopped. All 16 failing cases passed in an isolated run outside the
filesystem sandbox (961 unrelated cases unselected). The broad local run
is not a clean acceptance result. A later focused database-backed
chat/heartbeat run passed all six selected observability cases,
including native OpenCode launch and successful allocation (1,809
unrelated cases were unselected).
- All CI gates passed for `21085f880d8babc9efeb22d0623db99613d33093`,
including packaged-runner, clean-install, browser and build checks:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40884658995 .
Greptile reviewed the same commit at 5/5 with no unresolved findings.
- Verified OTLP JSON acceptance and indexing with an explicitly
synthetic transport marker. No live OpenCode model trace or deployed
smoke acceptance is claimed yet.

## Risks

Export is best effort. Abrupt termination, recovered in-flight turns
without a new submitted event, limits or receiver failure can lose
traces. Export failure does not change task success. The projection
represents observed normalized events, not raw native model spans or
hidden reasoning. Known-secret redaction is not an OS isolation
boundary. UI changes can break journey locators. Deployment adapters
retain credential, ownership and cleanup responsibility. Both the
controller and native runner bundle must be updated before live
qualification.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, code execution and browser tools.
The exact serving model ID and context size are not exposed to this
session.
