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 0a08d37aa0 feat(runner): recover controller authority without interrupting execution (#17097)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and owns their business authority.
> - Runner owns execution transport, acknowledgements and replay.
> - A replacement controller must recover that transport without
starting another provider turn.
> - An external store can retain the required control records without
copying streamed text.
> - A duplicate local journal adds synchronous disk work without
providing the replacement server's authority.
> - This PR adds the optional recovery contract and its standalone
proof. Server adoption and browser delivery have separate owners.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

A surviving runner can reconnect to a replacement controller with its
admitted process, session and active turn.

**Current behavior**

Local controller files do not provide recovery on empty replacement
storage. Rewriting those files after an external checkpoint is installed
also blocks normal controller work.

**Proposed behavior**

An optional callback stores opaque checkpoints. The replacement restores
that checkpoint before it constructs the controller. Installing the
callback makes the external store authoritative. Local storage holds a
marker that requires restoration. Consumers without the callback retain
their file journal.

PR 1 of four: #17097 → #17439 → #17455 → #17456. Related work: #17390
and #17361. The pre-split reference remains
`codex/hot-upgrades-reference-2026-10-24`.

## What Changed

- Add opaque checkpoint encoding, restoration, incremental persistence
and authenticated sparse recovery cursors.
- Keep authentication, commands, semantic inputs and lifecycle events
behind their commit barriers. Share semantic-call ownership between live
dispatch and recovery.
- Keep streamed text out of recovery checkpoints. Preserve bounded
retention, original deadlines and admitted process identity.
- Stop normal local journal writes after external persistence is
installed. Fail closed on a local marker until external restoration
occurs. Preserve current master's staged file writes for standalone
consumers.
- Keep provider-native admission and authorization behind adapters.
Preserve historical Copilot attestations and bind the merged launch and
transport sources in v68; preserve published v66 and prior development
identities.
- Add the one-process scripted executor fixture and deterministic
outage, replay, failure and backpressure tests. Add no production test
endpoint or auxiliary process.

## Verification

The completion-recovery correction passes three restart regressions that
fail before its respective transport/driver fixes. All 230
controller/attestation cases, all 302 Codex transport cases in the full
repeat, and all three one-process fixture cases pass. The broader
Codex/Dot/Muse run passes 326 cases and times out one existing mid-goal
case; its isolated retry and complete Codex repeat pass on unchanged
source and binaries. The initial timeout remains recorded. Conformance
and replay parity pass.

Historical v65/v66 attestation bytes remain frozen; v67 binds the
changed transport. The local runner-only API-authority lane passes 2,027
cases but its 47 HTTP cases cannot initialize embedded Postgres on this
Mac. The integrated owned-database HTTP path is verified in PR 2. At
preceding head `0d8d1b8250`, the Actions workflow passes after one retry
of runner-service shutdowns. Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved threads.
The interrupted attempt is retained. All checks on that preceding head
are terminal and green/neutral/skipped.

Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/control-plane/durable-prp-control-plane.test.ts
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts --maxWorkers=1` and `node
packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/copilot-profile-identity.mjs --check`.

The [qualification
record](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/codex/hot-upgrades-qualification/doc/plans/2026-10-22-hot-upgrade-qualification.md)
retains exact revisions, failed attempts and qualification limits. The
local cost campaign observes zero hot-path local journal fsync calls. It
does not qualify a native harness or hosted deployment.

Master reconciliation `d5fc443626` preserves the published v66 and prior
development identity bytes and binds the combined transport in v68. All
290 focused runner/profile cases and runner typecheck pass. The first
sandboxed invocation cannot open loopback listeners; the permitted
repeat passes. Fresh CI and Greptile are pending for this updated head.

Current merge candidate `4fb3d1835b` also fixes public-reader
publication before external commit. New held/rejected-write cases fail
before correction and pass afterward. The full controller repeat passes
168 cases. The combined lane passes 390 other
recovery/transport/profile/fixture cases; its first two overlap fixture
failures are retained and corrected to observe callback entry instead of
provisional state. Runner TypeScript build and typecheck pass.
Current-head GitHub Actions is green and Greptile is 5/5 with all
threads resolved. The superseded master-reconciliation CI shutdown
remains recorded.

## Risks

The persistence callback is an acknowledgement barrier. Failure must
stop delivery. A consumer that installs external persistence must
restore its committed checkpoint before restarting; the marker is not a
recovery snapshot. Sparse display recovery does not reconstruct
acknowledged text or repeat execution. This slice has no Postgres
schema, application authorization or browser behavior.

## Model Used

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