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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 51c3f8924c fix(server): schedule cancelled workspace preservation (#17677)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A cancelled native run may still owe preservation of prepared
workspace files.
> - The existing recovery receipt and source lease record that
obligation.
> - The orphan reaper still searches for these cancellations on every
pass.
> - This PR registers committed cancellations with the shared deadline
worker.
> - The existing retention owner keeps file pinning and ownership
checks.
> - Idle and completed history no longer causes this preservation scan.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17674 and #17145. Stopped instruction collection is merged into
master. It owns file-preservation discovery only. The existing
environment cleanup worker continues to own stop-only teardown.

**What needs to be improved?**

`preserveCancelledNativeWorkspaces` runs from every orphan-reaper pass.
It queries even when no cancelled native workspace needs a file-recovery
hold. Current foreground Stop can also defer retention after a lock or
database failure, so startup-only recovery would be insufficient.

**Why is this improvement important?**

Empty queries keep idle tenants active. Removing them must not lose user
files, weaken Stop ownership, replay cancelled work, or turn a retained
allocation into destructive cleanup.

**Proposed solution**

Register the existing durable obligation from committed run-status,
cancellation-acknowledgement and workspace-reference writes. Reconstruct
it at startup. Keep retries while actual preservation remains
unresolved. Disarm after the existing owner records the hold. Related-PR
search and ROADMAP.md review found no duplicate of this scheduling
migration.

## What Changed

- Add a company/run-scoped preservation worker with 100-row keyset
reconstruction and fair batches of five.
- Separate pending file debt from immediate coordinator/lease readiness.
Retain a 30-second retry for known unfinished preservation and shared
failure backoff for errors.
- Signal the existing status, acknowledgement, workspace-reference,
deletion and settings transactions. Add no table or independent timer.
- Keep exact source checks, no-workspace contracts, task/coordinator/run
lock order, retention receipt and no-replay recovery card with their
owners.
- Recheck cancellation acknowledgement, run status and coordinator phase
under the retention locks. Preserve the existing foreground preterminal
API.
- Keep startup/manual recovery; skip only this duty in periodic reaping.
Preserve drain/standby and shutdown behavior.
- Add concurrent, replay-safe partial index migration 0409 and retain
the five newest snapshots.
- Add the producer and lifecycle audit in
`doc/plans/2026-10-25-cancelled-workspace-preservation-sleep-audit.md`.

## Verification

- Current source `21b46a8e4293ca670235117458b984493a181759`: all 1472
cases in 16 complete files pass without skips. The owner passes 84 cases
in 14.93 seconds. Fifteen consumer files pass 1388 cases in 133.46
seconds, including all 968 native-session cases and Stop, dispatch,
restart, workspace-sync and upgrade-readiness coverage.
- Twelve separate fresh PostgreSQL 17 databases migrated through 0409
before setup. The embedded-only lifecycle fixture temporarily used its
own external database on this IPC-exhausted host and was restored byte
for byte. Assertions and timing limits stayed unchanged. This qualifies
external-database behavior; it does not claim an unmodified embedded CI
run.
- Database build, server typecheck/build, module boundaries and
exact-head migration order pass. The complete original runtime/schema
patch and unrelated current-parent blobs are preserved. Original
concurrent index SQL, all earlier executable history and retained
snapshot bytes are unchanged; five snapshots 0405 through 0409 remain.
- A populated 0408-to0409 upgrade preserves all 407 prior receipts and
38 companies. Exactly one receipt is appended; replay adds none. The
preservation index is valid and ready on fresh and upgraded databases.
- Actual parent `82529741418e138d9d623bf13d2fa22c1ff79d36` is merged
through a normal ancestry reconciliation. Its complete tree equals the
reviewed parent. The entire accepted child tree and all source hashes
are preserved. The audit retains earlier failures, qualifications and
per-file counts. Published head
`b34f0589847f33754ecde9413fd36bf007353d2c` has Greptile 5/5 and all 57
checks passing or skipped. No Ponytail review is present. These checks
do not establish deployed host/database suspension or Cloud alarm
delivery.

## Risks

- Signals cover instrumented single-process writers. Independent SQL
writers and additional replicas need integration.
- Status signals may inspect a run without relevant file debt once. They
do not create recurring work. Discovery and memory still scale with
actual candidates.
- Missing ownership or stop evidence remains pending. Active retries are
intentional while a concrete file obligation is unresolved.
- Retry timing is process-local; startup reconstructs durable debt. The
worker does not overwrite another native-finalizer deadline.
- Admitted database operations may finish after drain begins. Shutdown
joins them. Provider teardown remains with the existing cleanup owner.
- The partial index adds storage and write cost. Its concurrent
migration uses the existing interrupted-index repair path.
- Cloud alarm coverage, sleep eligibility and host suspension are
unchanged. This proves worker behavior, not fleet savings.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, shell tools, and PostgreSQL
tests. The runtime does not expose a more precise model ID or
context-window size for this turn.

DottaandPaperclip 09ad9adce2 feat(server): adopt running remote agents through durable controller checkpoints (#17439)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip must keep admitted remote work alive while its main server
is replaced.
> - Runner owns recovery mechanics and exposes opaque checkpoints
through #17097.
> - The server owns company scope, encryption, Stop, tool authority and
execution ownership.
> - A successor must prove current ownership before it adopts the
original execution.
> - Checkpoint bursts must also leave capacity for normal requests and
lease renewal.
> - This PR persists and adopts that authority through the existing
runtime boundaries.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Remote agents retain the original execution during a bounded main-server
outage.

**Current behavior**

A server restart can lose the controller's local state and connection.
An unsafe replacement could repeat a turn or an uncertain mutation.
Checkpoint writes in the request pool can also delay ordinary requests
during an aligned burst.

**Proposed behavior**

Restore encrypted control records from Postgres and adopt the original
runner under a fenced lease. Recover known tool receipts through current
tool authority. Give control checkpoints a shared pool capped at two
connections per database owner.

Depends on #17097. Successors are #17455 and #17456. Qualification and
presentation remain separate review slices.

## What Changed

- Add company/run-bound encrypted checkpoint records and migration 0394.
Keep the SQL idempotent after renumbering against current master.
- Recover startup and expired ownership through native runtime and
heartbeat. Preserve the sandbox lease, admitted runner artifact, harness
configuration, native session and active turn.
- Keep Stop, finalization, preparation ownership and stale-writer
fencing transactional. Preserve graceful detach and natural crash
takeover.
- Recover committed tool receipts through the existing authority.
Reauthorize reads and hold uncertain mutations.
- Bound startup retention with the existing coordinator and preserve
zero idle scans.
- Share at most two checkpoint connections per database client. Keep
application and liveness capacity separate. Close the checkpoint pool
during shutdown; late writes cannot reopen it.
- Count SQL across both application and checkpoint clients. Prove
request/liveness progress, command recovery and failure after pool
shutdown with real Postgres.

## Verification

Project creation recovery now uses the existing project activity receipt
owner. It retains authenticated input normalization, fingerprint checks
and current run authority after the receipt lock. An absent receipt
returns no result before mutation. The new lost-HTTP-response and
no-effect regression uses real API routes and Postgres. The seven
transport cases pass locally. This Mac skips all 20 database cases. On
current source `5de803c2cd`, Linux [job
122593415890](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40620576702/job/122593415890)
executes all 20 project-tool cases successfully (9.480 seconds),
including the committed-project lost-response regression. Its shard
passes 1,627 cases with three unrelated skips. Server typecheck passes.
The transport regression initially has two failures; a subsequent
incorrect expectation about schema defaults was corrected before the
final pass. Ordinary execution adds no checkpoint writes or recurring
work.

Current candidate `5de803c2cd` includes the project-creation receipt
recovery fix and master `2cd747d1b6`. Migration 0394 retains the prior
idempotent checkpoint DDL. Every master SQL file and journal entry is
preserved. Snapshots 0390–0394, migration checks and server typecheck
pass.

The ordinary warm-turn regression fails on its second turn before
`a219ab51ad`. After correction, three completed warm turns select the
correct prior checkpoint and preserve the original session. All 288
provider-wiring cases pass. The control plane, external persistence
callback, identity rotation and filesystem are real; the backend and
database-load seam are scripted. The 13 warm admission/configuration
variants also pass after final master integration. This does not qualify
an underlying harness.

At current source `5de803c2cd`, Linux [job
122593415907](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40620576702/job/122593415907)
passes all 940 native-session-executor cases (61.431 seconds), including
the warm external-checkpoint behavior; the shard passes 2,358 cases with
one skip. Current [Runner job
122593415475](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40620576702/job/122593415475)
passes the native recovery lane: 115 passes and five container-only
skips, including the encrypted restore guard, fresh preparation (63.189
seconds), blocked claim lock (1.226 seconds) and recovery beyond 101
blocked owners (3.897 seconds). The first lane passes 2,215 cases with
one skip. The SQL cost test reports zero idle and streaming SQL for both
output volumes; this is component evidence, not a production capacity
claim. At prior candidate `1ff7bb44f4`, Linux job 122549307215 passes
all 938 native-executor cases, including the three-turn
external-checkpoint regression. Job 122549306469 passes the native
recovery lane with 115 passes and five container-only skips, including
the encrypted-restore session guard, fresh preparation (63.664 seconds),
claim-lock contention (3.961 seconds), and 101-owner recovery (3.824
seconds). This Mac skips the real-Postgres suite. The earlier full local
executor attempt has 921 passes and 16 failures during embedded-Postgres
initialization before assertions. The original fixture collisions and
their corrections remain recorded.

At earlier candidate `8fbe62b41d`, server shard job 122535673841 has
3,876 passes, one failure and one skip in an unchanged expiry-worker
retry/drain timing test. The same server/database tree on qualification
source `b64cac6951` passes all 20 expiry cases and all 3,877 shard
cases. The single diagnostic retry, job 122541891915, passes all 20
expiry cases and all 3,877 shard cases (one skip). No assertion was
weakened. The original failure remains recorded and its exact timing
race is not proven. All Actions checks and legacy status passed on
`8fbe62b41d`, with completed Greptile 5/5 and no open feedback. The next
candidate `1ff7bb44f4` also passed all Actions checks and Greptile 5/5.
Its Paperclip Review remained queued before the new master conflict
required integration. The new candidate needs fresh exact-head CI and
reviews; old checks do not qualify it. Migration generation is
checkpoint-only, all master SQL and journal entries remain unchanged,
and migration checks, server typecheck and all 13 warm-owner variants
pass after integration. The first migration check was blocked by TSX
sandbox IPC; its permitted repeat passes. The first warm-test command
used an incorrect path and ran no tests; the corrected command supplies
the 13-case receipt.

All 16 database pool-lifetime/options/teardown cases pass after granting
loopback permission; the first batch had two EPERM failures and 14
passes. Earlier semantic-tool/HTTP recovery, adoption, encryption-batch,
zero-streaming-write and idle-SQL receipts remain source-attributed in
the [qualification
record](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/2ff66f57da0da35bac1c19a2366ea4b84d87a986/doc/plans/2026-10-22-hot-upgrade-qualification.md).
That record retains earlier assertion, setup and cleanup failures and
their corrections. No failed gate is waived.

The historical 300-session component campaign passes four after phases:
steady read p99 is 107–108 ms at 500 reads/s and 100 writes/s;
aligned-burst read p99 is 103–105 ms after the bounded pool, versus
584–689 ms before. This comparison isolates the persistence corrections.
It does not measure the final stack's hosted active-agent capacity. The
hosted zero-agent API pair leaves SQL and CPU essentially unchanged, but
both arms fail absolute latency gates and candidate peak cgroup memory
fails its gate. The active-agent/viewer matrix, different-artifact
upgrade and rollback remain open.

Run `PAPERCLIP_TEST_DATABASE_URL=<owned-disposable-postgres> pnpm
--filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts`.

Previous head `f2db8a6568` had one failed workspace setup gate: [job
122555672441](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40608984238/job/122555672441)
passes all 4,169 UI tests and 285 CLI cases (one skip), but the company
import/export suite reaches its 30-second health deadline during doctor
startup. Its output does not reach the server-start step. The CLI,
server, database, shared, adapter and plugin trees are identical on
qualification source `a866619d7b`, whose [job
122555886663](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40609057937/job/122555886663)
passes that fixture and all 286 CLI cases. The one diagnostic retry,
[job
122561057225](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40608984238/job/122561057225),
passes the formerly failing fixture and all 286 CLI cases. All Actions
checks and legacy status on `f2db8a6568` pass. Its exact-head Greptile
completed at 5/5 with no open feedback. The current integrated head
requires fresh checks and a completed Paperclip Review before merge. The
original failure remains recorded; its exact timing cause is unproven. A
repeated failure requires investigation and repair rather than another
retry.

All current-head CI, legacy status, exact-head completed Greptile 5/5,
resolved feedback and ordinary GitHub merge eligibility remain required
before merge.

The latest integration preserves master’s published Copilot v70 profiles
and every published migration. Checkpoint migration
`0394_conscious_whizzer.sql` was generated with `pnpm db:generate` and
retains the prior idempotent DDL. The Runner vendor rebuild and replay
parity checks pass. Server typecheck and all 13 warm-owner variants pass
after that rebuild. The imported report-lock patch is byte-identical to
master; its intentional patch-context whitespace is retained, and the
feature delta passes whitespace checks. No hosted experiment was run.

## Risks

The pool adds up to two active connections per instance, shared across
agents. Checkpoint delivery can wait behind that bound; it still
requires its commit. Steady component-test Postgres CPU rises by about
1.7 percentage points of a two-CPU allocation. These corrections do not
remove the stack's control and renewal writes. The migration and key
must survive replacement. Fresh-database tests and local load do not
establish different-artifact hosted upgrade or rollback continuity.

## 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.

DottaandPaperclip f6ba9afab0 perf(server): narrow explicit continuation run reads (#17896)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Recovery must prove that old execution stopped before it admits new
user input.
> - Explicit continuation reads the source run before and after it takes
the run lock.
> - Both reads transfer the saved prompt and the full Runner profile.
> - The preflight needs only identity, comment, adapter, and workspace
receipt fields.
> - This pull request narrows those reads and keeps the complete locked
profile for session proofs.
> - The benefit is less database transfer with the same admission and
recovery rules.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Explicit native continuation admission after a failed or stopped run.

**Current behavior**

The preflight and locked reread select complete heartbeat run rows.
Large saved contexts and execution profiles cross the database
connection twice.

**Proposed behavior**

Read only required scalar fields and typed context keys. Read only
historical adapter identity and workspace sync receipts before the lock.
Keep the complete Runner profile in the locked reread. Keep lock order,
company scope, text lookup of historical run IDs, stop proofs, queued
input, and replay rules.

**Reason and benefit**

A synthetic PostgreSQL 17 fixture removes 74.9% of the two queries'
DataRow bytes. This result is local query evidence. It is not a claim
about deployed latency or monthly transfer.

**Breaking changes**

None intended. No schema, API, migration, workflow, or dispatch contract
changes.

**Additional context**

Related: #17491 narrows the separate execution blocker read path. This
PR covers explicit continuation admission. The PR has no dependency on
the other byte reduction PRs.

## What Changed

- Select required continuation fields and typed context keys instead of
complete run rows.
- Read a small historical adapter/workspace profile during preflight.
Preserve the full locked profile for exact suspended-session and
quarantined-cleanup proofs.
- Narrow four helper input types to their actual field requirements.
Their runtime behavior is unchanged.
- Add real PostgreSQL admission comparison coverage and a reproducible
baseline/treatment benchmark.
- Document the query boundary and benchmark command.

## Verification

- Baseline: `663fe667d66d3863d0919a8724f1d99500feef0b`.
- Disposable PostgreSQL 17.11. One source run has a 192 KiB
incompressible context and two 96 KiB profile payloads.
- Command: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx
../scripts/benchmark-continuation-run-reads.ts
--baseline-ref=663fe667d66d3863d0919a8724f1d99500feef0b`. Set
`PAPERCLIP_CONTINUATION_BENCHMARK_DATABASE_URL` to a disposable database
ending in `_test` to use an external server.
- The harness captures SQL generated by both real service versions.
Baseline imports use current helpers; only their TypeScript input types
changed in this PR. Their runtime behavior stays fixed.
- Preflight DataRow bytes: 394,067 to 466 (99.88% less). Locked reread:
394,067 to 197,168 (49.97% less). Combined: 788,134 to 197,634 (74.92%
less).
- Byte counts cover exact PostgreSQL text-format DataRow frames. They
exclude RowDescription, command metadata, TLS, TCP, and other queries in
the service.
- Seven measured samples per query follow two warmups. The order
alternates. Final-head median preflight time: 6.53 to 2.28 ms (ranges
5.34–7.41 and 1.84–4.46 ms). Median locked read: 8.06 to 5.26 ms (ranges
5.94–13.84 and 4.61–6.81 ms). These are warm local SQL measurements
under shared machine load. The deterministic byte counts are the
acceptance criterion; these noisy timings do not establish a deployed
latency gain.
- The harness compares the admitted continuation, blocked reasons, every
retained scalar column, kept JSON, and the full locked profile. It fails
unless the fixture removes more than half of the two reads' DataRow
bytes. It records SQL, parameters, revision identity, samples, and
EXPLAIN plans.
- All 291 continuation tests pass together on the final head with no
skips in a clean isolated PostgreSQL 17 database. This includes all
seven new projection comparisons and six malformed/missing JSON cases.
- Edited server TypeScript check passes: `node
node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json`.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass on the final head. The
normal server build verifies the complete pinned Copilot closure. Local
full `pnpm test:run` is not claimed: host embedded PostgreSQL startup
limits prevent that gate. The isolated PostgreSQL regressions pass; the
full exact-head test matrix runs in CI. The targeted exact-head test
retry passes all 4,086 tests in 98 files. All CI verification checks and
the dependent aggregate are complete and successful on head
`47c1b5f7d17a58310f7a3ebd494fdcaa814777c2`. Greptile completed cleanly
on head `47c1b5f7d17a58310f7a3ebd494fdcaa814777c2`: 5/5, no findings,
and no unresolved review threads.
- Local setup evidence: embedded initdb could not load its ICU data
library. Tests therefore use a dedicated PostgreSQL 17 container. A run
against reused test fixtures produced stale sweep failures; a new clean
database passed all 285 cases. The first comparison mock replaced an
unrelated aliased query; it was narrowed to the two admission reads
before the clean pass.

- The first [server test shard
6/12](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40529210562/job/122277218565)
failed one existing workspace-recovery case: a third export stayed
`scheduled` at its 20-second poll deadline; 4,085 other tests passed.
The exact case passes on the pinned baseline and final head with the
same PostgreSQL 17 fixture. Temporary spies recorded zero calls to both
changed admission functions in either replay. Other touched helpers have
type-only changes. This supports one timing-flake retry; the exact
scheduler delay remains unproven. The single [targeted shard
retry](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40529210562/job/122285744135)
passes all 4,086 tests in 98 files. The exact case completes in 17.25
seconds. The dependent aggregate is complete and successful. No timeout
or unrelated runtime code was changed.

- The separate Paperclip Review check ended `NEUTRAL` without a final
report. The completed source review is the exact-head Greptile 5/5
result above.

## Risks

- A future admission check may need an additional saved context key.
Keep the projection and helper contracts in sync with that consumer.
- Exact suspended-session and quarantined-cleanup proofs still require
the complete Runner profile. This PR retains it under the lock rather
than weakening those checks.
- JSON values retain their types and missing keys stay absent.
Malformed-context comparisons preserve the existing controller hold.
- These measurements use synthetic local data. Deployed transfer savings
require a fresh capture after rollout. Nothing was deployed.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The exact runtime model ID and context
window are not exposed by this session. The work used repository tools,
code execution, and real PostgreSQL validation.

DottaandPaperclip 663fe667d6 fix(recovery): reconstruct missing native workspace obligations (#17877)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A failed native run can still own prepared files in a remote
sandbox.
> - Cleanup must preserve those files before another executor can start.
> - Older failure producers can omit the preservation record.
> - A saved message then waits for cleanup without a recovery owner.
> - This change reconstructs that record during user continuation and
orphan cleanup.
> - The existing worker saves the files, verifies stop, and returns
input to normal admission.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A failed native run retained a prepared workspace and an active sandbox
lease. It had no file-preservation obligation. Cleanup protected the
files. The next user message waited for a stop receipt that no worker
owned.

**Expected behavior**

A new message registers the missing maintenance work at once. Existing
orphan cleanup recovers historical saved input. Ordinary Retry remains
available. Saved input can start once, after verified preservation and
containment.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Persist a failed native run with an exact prepared remote workspace
and its active lease.
2. Leave its finalizer terminal and unowned. Omit the workspace recovery
record.
3. Send a user comment or run orphan cleanup.
4. Observe that no preservation worker starts and the comment remains
deferred.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `bd382eee536f4ada680072b1cc19100163c3d04a`.

**Deployment mode**

Native Runner with a remote sandbox. Local verification uses disposable
PostgreSQL 18 and real temporary workspace files.

Refs #17788 and #17800. Those fixes preserve future deadline failures
and register historical preservation on Retry. This change adds
automatic recovery for new and saved messages. Refs #17839 for the
separate restart-failure producer repair.

## What Changed

- Register missing preservation before an authenticated continuation
waits for remote cleanup.
- Reconstruct the same exact-source obligation during the existing
orphan lease sweep.
- Notify the existing preservation worker in the registration
transaction. Do not add a timer or history scan.
- Test ephemeral and reusable sources, live owners, active executors,
mismatched sources, rollback, lock contention, Retry and saved-input
delivery.
- Document the recovery contract and feature-map behavior.

## Verification

- Red: both new orphan-recovery cases fail on unchanged production code.
Four ownership and source negative controls pass.
- Red: a new comment starts no preservation work without the admission
repair.
- All 461 test cases across five affected suites pass across the local
runs. One existing 30-second timing case timed out under concurrent
verification; its isolated rerun passed with the same deadline and
assertions.
- The three final-head entry journeys pass again: HTTP Retry, HTTP
comment creation, and historical saved-input recovery.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass on final head
`8fab8b2ba9049f640fd884094a2007a69465e6da`. The affected server
typecheck and build also pass.
- The integration journey holds the provider stop reply, checks that no
successor starts, preserves real files and newer host edits, and checks
one saved-input successor.
- Module-boundary checks, map checks and `git diff --check` pass.
- Native macOS PostgreSQL cannot start because host semaphore capacity
is exhausted. Database verification uses separate disposable PostgreSQL
databases for each suite. An earlier shared-database attempt caused
fixture interference and is not counted as a pass.
- Greptile gives 5/5 with no findings or unresolved threads on
`8fab8b2ba9049f640fd884094a2007a69465e6da`. All final-head GitHub checks
are settled: 55 passed, two Storybook checks skipped, and one neutral
Paperclip review. Full CI test, build, typecheck, Runner and browser
lanes pass. No full local `pnpm test:run` pass is claimed. The fix is
not deployed. This PR makes no claim of a live hosted model turn or
recovery of the original incident.

## Risks

- Registration grants maintenance authority only. Existing coordinator,
descriptor, allocation, stop, file-receipt and execution gates remain
effective.
- A locked source remains held. Its one-second lock timeout does not
prevent an unrelated source from registering recovery.
- New preservation writes wake existing work. Settled sources produce no
new recurring work. Historical discovery uses the existing orphan
cleanup lifecycle and its backoff.
- Provider lifecycle is simulated in local integration. PostgreSQL, HTTP
routing, file export/merge, the worker and queue admission are real.
- No schema, credential, model, trust, retry-budget or assignment
change.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 6bec153410 fix(runtime): retain cancelled workspaces before reconstruction (#16700)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs must preserve files when Stop ends a turn before its
result is saved.
> - The cancellation path could skip file retention and leave a prepared
remote workspace active.
> - An older controller could also admit an extra run while an earlier
lost-source hold was unresolved.
> - Rejecting every later run then prevented recovery even after that
extra run was stopped and its files were reconciled.
> - This change retains cancelled workspaces and records the exact proof
for a safely reconciled intervening cancellation.
> - Recovery can proceed without changing cancelled history, replaying
actions, or weakening execution gates.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #16583, #16690, #16696.

**What happened?**

Stop could acknowledge a native turn without recording its unsaved file
obligation. Reconstruction also rejected a later cancelled run after its
exact environment and files had been reconciled. The task could remain
inactive with an `in_progress` status, which the reconstruction endpoint
rejected.

**Expected behavior**

Retain unsaved files after Stop. Permit a board operator to reconstruct
from saved sources only after each intervening cancellation has a
confirmed stop and a file-only repair record. Preserve the original
failed export and the cancelled run.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Prepare a native workspace and cancel the turn before a structured
result exists.
2. Inspect its file retention and remote lease state.
3. For a task with an older destroyed export, reconcile the later
cancelled run's exact files and unperformed actions.
4. Request reconstruction from verified same-task attachments.

## What Changed

- Pin prepared native files before cancellation settlement. Defer
teardown if pinning fails. Use the existing stop-only cleanup worker.
- Repair active warm and ephemeral sources, plus stopping and
confirmed-stopped historical cancellations in bounded startup and
periodic batches. Preserve the existing exact-source checks. Bound
row-lock waits and advance past a busy source.
- Accept only same-owner native run-only cancellations with no result or
current coordinator, confirmed stopped leases, and board file-only
repair with `not_performed` action outcomes.
- Save hashes of each intervening repair and recheck them at queue claim
and final dispatch. Reject changed evidence or another later run.
- Expose saved-source reconstruction in the issue API for inactive
`blocked` and `in_progress` tasks, and hide it when an execution or
checkout owner exists. Permit the same inactive source at submission.
Keep the source, owner, version, attachment, budget, pause and retry
checks.
- Update the shared evidence type, recovery runbook and capability maps.
Add an optional cancelled-native no-action confirmation to file
recovery, resetting evidence when its source changes. No migration, new
endpoint, permission or dependency.

## Verification

- The new fixture fails on the original validator with
`workspace_reconstruction_stale` after valid cancelled-run file repair.
- Focused source and Stop retention tests: 94 passed before the final
contention case. The subsequent three-suite run passed 123 tests,
including real PostgreSQL lock contention and public
startup/API/final-dispatch paths. The final narrow-query rerun passed
all 123 tests. Review correction: all 143 tests passed across four
suites, including real lock contention through the teardown boundary and
stopping/stopped allocations.
- Six broader cancellation, executor, heartbeat and restart suites: 831
passed, 9 existing skips.
- Final correction: all 145 backend tests and all 36 recovery UI tests
passed. Real contention covers both warm reusable and ephemeral sources.
Optional no-action confirmation defaults to uncertified, and changing
source clears evidence. Workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and token gates
passed on these sources.
- Maps, module boundaries and Git whitespace checks: passed. Full `pnpm
build` passed on the final `4e8c0e73ac` revision as well as the prior
reviewed heads. A full local run of the preceding fix completed with
21,724 passes, 109 skips and three failures in webhook body limits, a
status-card timeout, and a port-allocation fixture. All three suites
then passed unchanged in an isolated rerun (209 tests). The full local
run remains recorded as failed; the final head's full CI passed (55
completed checks, no failures). A fresh full local run is also in
progress on the frozen reviewed head.
- Preserved failures: the first attempt lacked a built plugin SDK; after
building prerequisites, the regression reached the expected validator
rejection. Treatment tests caught the file-only action's deliberately
null continuation owner. A real lock test then caught the database
driver's wrapped timeout error. Both defects were corrected and
retested. Independent review then found a teardown race after a failed
retention write. A second review found active warm sources excluded by
the historical policy filter; the regression reproduced both warm
failures before correcting the query. Its real-row-lock fixture
reproduced the failure; the fixed release guard and historical
stopping/stopped cases pass. No checks were weakened.
- A pre-deployment walkthrough caught the issue API still hiding
reconstruction for an inactive `in_progress` task. The status/capability
baseline reproduced three failures, including inappropriate capability
flags for execution/checkout owners. The fix uses the same
inactive-state requirements as submission; its positive fixture reads
the assembled issue API before reconstructing. All 117 tests in those
three recovery suites pass, and all 28 heartbeat-recovery tests pass
separately. Full workspace typecheck passed again. Full build passed
with the exact `4e8c0e73ac` stamp; latest-head independent review is 5/5
with no open findings. All 55 latest-head checks completed with no
failures.
- Live tenant acceptance remains pending. No successful reconstruction,
export or warm-process proof is claimed by these local tests.

## Risks

- Stop retains unfinished work, so storage remains until file recovery
and explicit cleanup complete.
- Reconstruction remains held for unknown or performed external actions,
foreign owners, live or rebound environments, accepted results, changed
evidence, and unrelated later runs.
- The sweep examines at most five candidates per pass. It uses a fair
cursor and bounded transaction waits. It performs no provider call and
starts no new turn.
- Intervening verification reads only the needed JSON fields. The source
transaction still serializes recovery for the same task.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 5a9e6b6315 fix(grok): avoid false file recovery after Stop (#16427)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Grok Bot uses a managed Runner and a fixed external work session.
> - Its admitted contract gives it no access to Paperclip workspace
files.
> - The Runner still has a sync descriptor to support durable recovery.
> - Cancellation treated that descriptor as proof that files needed
repair.
> - This pull request uses the admitted access contract while preserving
ownership settlement.
> - Users get the correct recovery action after Stop, with native file
safeguards intact.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16219 and #16422. The duplicate search found no open Grok
workspace correction.

**What happened?**

A real Grok Stop test cancelled its run, fenced its assignment, denied a
stale progress update and cleaned up the sandbox. Paperclip also created
a file-repair hold. The recovery panel told the user to recover
workspace files, although the admitted external contract has workspace
access set to none.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the stopped session fenced and require inspection before new work.
Keep failed-run ownership settlement. Do not invent a file export
obligation for a session that cannot access the workspace. Native
sessions with writable or unknown workspace access must keep their file
safeguards.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Connect a Grok Bot and assign a task.
2. Let it accept the task and save a Paperclip checkpoint document.
3. Use Stop while it is working.
4. Inspect the task recovery panel. It asks for file repair after
sandbox cleanup succeeds.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on Core 11d69d04c7 through the
actual Grok client. Reproduced against master with database-backed
regressions.

## What Changed

- Match the admitted native input to its run, company, agent, task and
external driver before treating workspace access as disabled.
- Keep coordinator ownership checks and failure settlement. Skip file
retention and the false file-repair obligation for that exact contract.
- Add inspection-only settlement for old Grok file holds through Runtime
recovery. Verify exact run ownership, fenced assignments, terminal
coordinators and managed lease stop receipts. Archive the false file
evidence and preserve no-replay.
- Keep historical Dot recovery controls. Do not claim global
external-provider termination.
- Fix the later dispatch-failure owner so it cannot retain a
no-workspace external sandbox for a false file obligation.
- Cover both Grok and Dot, mismatched access evidence, native file
recovery and the assembled heartbeat cleanup path.
- Update the Grok guide and the existing release evidence plan.

## Verification

- Four database regressions fail before the correction.
- 68 file-recovery and cancellation checks pass. Grok, Dot and the
shared recovery notice pass 98 checks. The assembled heartbeat selection
passes both cases; 404 unrelated cases were not selected in that local
command.
- The lifecycle regression caught an unsafe early-return prototype. The
final code keeps coordinator settlement for both workspace cases. A
separate assertion was corrected for the run-state projection's explicit
nulls. The failed attempts remain in the private evidence record.
- Repository typecheck and build, token gates and Storybook build pass.
The branch was rebased from ea4aa185b0
onto 7420af26fc, whose additional change
affects CI profile exports. The core recovery checks are repeated after
rebase.
- On the earlier deployed source, a real 824-second task survived an
actual same-image controller restart with its original run, assignment,
process and lease. It completed canonically and cleaned up without an
extra wake. The active Stop test denied a real stale update and
completed connection inspection and authenticated re-verification. These
results establish the observed baseline and defect; they do not qualify
this patch's deployed behavior.
- Review found two valid gaps: the old file obligation still blocked
fresh input, and dispatch failure could request retention earlier. Both
are corrected. The follow-up passes 128 focused tests and server
typecheck. The recovery test proves fresh user continuation after
inspection, authenticated re-verification, and managed Runner cleanup
while the old assignment stays fenced.
- A second review found a partial-transaction gap. Routine readiness now
commits as invalid before task holds retire. All 43 Grok routine tests
pass, including a held task lock and an unrelated active assignment.
- Repository typecheck and build pass after the first review
corrections; final server typecheck also passes. The full local suite is
still running and is not claimed as passed. The first follow-up CI timed
out at 15 seconds in one unchanged run-history case; all 91 cases pass
locally. The cause is unproven.
- The final head, 33e4361911, passes 54
checks plus one successful status context. Two optional Storybook jobs
are skipped. Greptile reviewed that exact head at 5/5 with no unresolved
threads. All source CI suites pass on this final head without retry. The
earlier runner-shutdown and timeout attempts remain recorded.
- An actual deployed historical recovery and fresh Stop repeat are still
required.

## Risks

An incomplete or mismatched contract must retain file safeguards. The
change uses stored admission evidence rather than current agent
configuration. Historical records stay auditable and do not gain
automatic replay or a generic Retry action. Operator inspection and a
fresh authenticated verification remain required before new Grok work.
Global Grok termination remains unconfirmed. No schema migration is
needed.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 79c34058cd fix(native): retain unexported workspaces after execution failure (#16397)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native agents can edit files in a remote sandbox before they submit
a result.
> - A process identity or startup failure can end the run before file
export.
> - Cleanup can then delete the sandbox and its unpublished files.
> - This pull request retains the exact source and records a file repair
action before cleanup.
> - Operators can recover the files without replaying the failed turn or
changing the task owner.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A native remote process had completed local edits when process identity
recovery failed. The run still had a prepared workspace reference and no
accepted result. Cleanup deleted the source sandbox. No file recovery
card appeared. A restarted run can hit the same path during setup,
before the native executor starts.

**Expected behavior**
Retain the exact unexported source. Show the existing file recovery
card. Require source stop and file recovery evidence. Keep task
ownership, status, and external action reconciliation separate from file
repair.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a native agent in a remote ephemeral workspace and make
unpublished edits.
2. Fail process identity recovery before result acceptance or file
export.
3. Allow failure handling and lease cleanup to run.
4. Before this change, cleanup can destroy the source without a file
repair action.

Refs: #16341 for related process identity diagnostics. Refs: #16349 for
startup ownership fencing. This change addresses file retention after
failure.

## What Changed

- Record source retention and a file recovery action in the terminal
native failure transaction.
- Cover restarted preparation failures before the terminal setup writer
and cleanup run.
- Require the exact company, run, lease, provider allocation, and
workspace binding. Require the exact live recovery claim to settle an
owned preparation failure. Refuse stale or competing claims.
- Reuse the existing stop-only cleanup and file-only reconciliation
path. Leave accepted results and scheduled same-run recovery on their
existing paths.
- Document the retention rule and add database and runtime boundary
regressions.

## Verification

- All 1,242 tests passed across the full heartbeat recovery suite,
native executor, native source retention, runtime teardown, run
completion, and legacy file recovery.
- The integrated missing-descriptor regression fails before the
inner-handler fix and passes after it. The runtime retention and owned
restart regressions also reproduce their prior failures.
- The tests cover exact source identity, current and stale claims,
atomic rollback, cancellation, idempotence, and file-only repair on a
completed task.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed on the final code.
- `pnpm build` passed on the final code.
- Full repository CI passed on
`3945eb2ba5c228c5d4992da02b765dcf2e634cb8`: 54 successful checks and two
skipped Storybook checks.
- Apex scored 5/5 on that exact commit. Both earlier findings are fixed
and all review threads are resolved.
- The unsharded local `pnpm test:run` is still in progress. It is not
counted as a local full-suite pass; complete suite coverage is verified
in CI.

## Risks

- Failed runs can retain a sandbox that needs operator cleanup after
file recovery. This uses the existing retention policy and recovery
controls.
- This does not recover files from allocations that were already
deleted.
- No schema migration, UI change, or telemetry change is required.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. Tool use, code execution, and reasoning
assisted this change. The environment identifies the model as GPT-6; it
does not expose a more specific serving snapshot or context window size.
