DottaandPaperclip 5bddff0920 feat(runner): add guarded API search and call fallback (#13003)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - The new runner gives agents dedicated tools for common tasks.
> - Some API operations and parameters have no dedicated tool.
> - Agents need a controlled way to find and use those operations.
> - This pull request adds API search and calls through the real server
routes.
> - Existing tools remain the preferred path. The new tools are disabled
by default.
> - Paired tests measure correctness, tool choice, cost and time.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Paperclip Runner contracts, production tool authority and the server API
catalog.

**Problem or motivation**

The runner cannot use much of the API described by the old Paperclip
skill. A generic HTTP client would also let agents bypass runner control
rules.

**Proposed solution**

Add `search_api` and `call_api`. Resolve calls from the mounted API
catalog. Use server-held, run-bound credentials. Preserve route checks
and runner lifecycle rules. Keep the tools disabled until an operator
enables selected companies.

**Alternatives considered**

A dedicated tool for every endpoint would add a large initial prompt. An
unrestricted HTTP tool would weaken authorization and replay controls.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the native runner tooling. The repository owner requested
this design and implementation. The roadmap and related open PRs were
checked. No duplicate API escape-hatch PR was found.

## What Changed

- Register two compact fallback tools in canonical contracts and
provider projections.
- Build deterministic API discovery from OpenAPI, mounted experimental
routes and the old skill reference.
- Execute bounded JSON, text, file and download requests through
authenticated HTTP routes.
- Recheck active runs, company access and work modes. Block runner
lifecycle, scheduling, credential and approval bypasses. Keep routine
annotation collaboration available.
- Retain mutation receipts. Report uncertain outcomes without blindly
repeating writes.
- Add a company rollout gate and a durable eval worker with complete
cost accounting checks.
- Record child-task creation in the activity log with the agent and run.
- Add contract, authorization, file, replay and real runnerd/PRP/HTTP
tests.
- Document rollout gates and paid coverage limits. The companion eval
repository retains immutable attempts and reports.

## Verification

- Final app commit `da58370524c3626a744eec20164397c5fb6ba9ef`: all 32
checks passed; the unrelated Storybook visual check was skipped.
Greptile 5/5; no unresolved review threads.

- Full Linux build and recursive typecheck passed. Repository tests were
run by project and serialized shard; all 143 serialized server suites
passed.
- Runner TypeScript: 1,599 passed, two skipped. Rust release: 451
passing test reports. Conformance and replay parity passed. The required
API check passed 837 tests, including runnerd → PRP → authority → real
HTTP.
- Bindings cannot enable API tools without the explicit deployment flag.
Unit and real-authority tests prove the default-off boundary.
- The standalone API check builds and stages its own binary. It passed
after existing staged and debug binaries were removed from the test
container.
- UI and CLI tests passed. Initial environment failures (missing jq,
Docker overlay file identity, and parallel linker memory pressure) and
focused passing reruns are retained. The macOS full runner suite has
platform-specific failures; Linux is the qualified full-check platform.
- Eval harness: 27 tests passed; existing CI discovery ran 86 tests with
two unrelated skips. Credential export rejection is tested against the
actual report command.
- Luna and OpenRouter Sonnet each passed 60 common-workflow runs: ten
workflows, three repetitions per arm, zero unnecessary API fallback.
- Sonnet passed 11 selected capability/contract cases after fixes.
Gemini passed three smoke cases. DeepSeek exceeded the 120-second limit
and remains unqualified.
- Luna's two cost flags received focused follow-up. The original flags
and a later n=1 latency flag remain visible. Sonnet had no cost or
latency increase above 20%.
- The catalog contains 785 entries; 58 were exercised across all stages.
Most operation probes remain unrun and some need additional fixtures.
Authored probes do not establish successful coverage.
- Total conservative accounted cost: $9.875960. Active paid-campaign
time: 88.16/90 minutes. No missing accounting. Later security and
harness fixes have provider-free verification; no paid validation is
claimed for those revisions.
- Inspect the [qualification
report](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/blob/codex/seach-call-api-tools/evals/runner-api-tools/reports/2026-09-07-production/READINESS.md)
and [verification
record](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/blob/codex/seach-call-api-tools/evals/runner-api-tools/reports/2026-09-07-production/verification.json).

## Risks

- This is a broad authenticated API surface. Keep the default-off gate
until an operator selects initial rollout companies.
- Paid coverage is incomplete. Small regression samples do not prove all
workflows are unchanged.
- A timeout or server failure can follow a committed mutation. The
result reports an unknown outcome and requires state inspection.
- The new definitions add prompt tokens. The report retains cost flags
and cache variation.
- No database migration is required.
- Repository rules require code-owner approval before merge. Technical
CI and automated review are complete.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex based on GPT-6 assisted with code, tests and review. The
exact serving model ID and context window are not exposed in this
session. It used reasoning, tool calls and code execution.

Eval models: `gpt-5.6-luna` with low reasoning,
`openrouter/anthropic/claude-sonnet-5`,
`openrouter/google/gemini-3.8-flash`, and
`openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731`. Attempts retain runtime
versions, model identity, usage and source provenance.

DottaandPaperclip f6a211479f fix: share current CLI runtimes across sandbox adapters (#12994)
## Thinking Path

- Paperclip Runner needs its runtime preinstalled for fast sandbox
startup.
- Native and local adapters should launch one current CLI installation
per provider.
- An older global copy can shadow that installation, and exact native
compatibility pins must match it.
- Update the qualified releases and binary digests, expose shared CLI
entrypoints from the provider pack, and prefer the image-owned bin
directory.
- Keep dependency installation in the image build; task startup only
discovers, links, and verifies artifacts.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Remote native startup rejected a stale global Codex, while CLI-only
images lacked runnerd entirely.

**Expected behavior**
An image-baked runtime starts without uploading binaries or installing
packages. All adapters share the same current provider CLI.

**Steps to reproduce**
Start a native remote task with the old global Codex and the updated
runtime available only under `/opt/paperclip-runner/bin`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Discovery behavior at `54a99d884`.

**Deployment mode**
Docker with a remote sandbox.

## What Changed

- Prefer `/opt/paperclip-runner/bin`, then the user's local bin
directory, then PATH. Existing metadata and version validation remains
in force.
- Qualify Codex 0.153.4, OpenCode 1.18.29, and Claude SDK 0.3.263 / CLI
2.1.263. Update binary digests, TypeScript/Rust checks, registry
defaults, and the displayed OpenCode version together.
- Share Codex and Claude's native executable with the ACP bridges
through exact dependency overrides. Preserve the separately qualified
ACP bridge implementations and their security patches.
- Expose shared provider-pack CLI launchers; fail the pack build if
Codex ACP resolves a separate Codex installation. Update the eval
image's other agent CLIs to current stable releases and remove duplicate
global provider installs.
- Document the single-current-CLI policy in source comments and
development guidance. Latest stable releases are resolved at
review/build preparation and pinned; task startup never auto-updates.

## Verification

- Native-session and adapter-registry suites: 158 tests passed.
- Provider suites: 88 tests passed, 7 Linux-only checks skipped on
macOS. One existing macOS temporary-path alias assertion passed when
rerun with canonical `TMPDIR=/private/tmp`.
- Package-contract and OpenCode materialization tests: 11 passed.
- Full typecheck, build, and token gates passed. Rust
native-provider/recovery tests: 19 passed.
- Broad local suite: 5,974 passed, 23 failed, 41 skipped. Failures are
in unchanged macOS workspace/path/port and connection suites; focused
runtime tests pass. All latest-head Linux PR checks passed, including
the full test shards, typecheck, build, runner verification, browser
suites, and canary dry run.
- The standalone fleet image built with one current provider CLI each
and passed native Codex/Claude binary-integrity checks. A disposable
Daytona sandbox reported ready in 798 ms; its baked runner completed an
API-key `gpt-5.6-luna` turn in 2,430 ms and returned the expected marker
with a usage receipt. No runtime artifacts were uploaded or installed.
- The normal shared `codex exec` entrypoint also completed an API-key
`gpt-5.6-luna` turn in 2,321 ms.
- Both image builds verify the complete generated lockfile against a
reviewed SHA-256 before package installation or lifecycle execution.
Root lockfile changes remain CI-owned. Merge and rollout remain on hold
for operator review.

## Risks

- Updating provider CLIs changes their behavior for all adapters;
version probes and live native smoke testing are required before image
promotion.
- The image-owned directory takes precedence. Its entries must launch
the same shared CLI as the global PATH, not a private older/newer copy.
- Application qualification pins and the deployed image must move
together. No startup fallback installation is added.
- No schema or authentication-policy changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex). The session does not expose a more specific model
ID or context-window size. Used reasoning, repository inspection, code
execution, and browser verification.

DottaandPaperclip fee8d8dc39 fix(runner): repair direct live provider bootstrap (#12932)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip runs AI agents through qualified provider backends.
> - The direct live eval workflow builds one immutable Runner runtime
for every matrix cell.
> - The workflow reinstalled the packed Runner with npm.
> - That install discarded pnpm patches and selected provider
dependencies outside the qualified lock.
> - The first pnpm deployment model also placed its virtual-store marker
at the wrong level; a real deployment keeps `.pnpm` beside the scoped
Runner package.
> - AgentCore enforced the current context-aware harness but the direct
eval CLI did not supply the production v3 runtime context that harness
requires.
> - This pull request preserves the qualified dependency graph, resolves
the real deployment layout, and makes direct evals exercise the
production runtime-context contract.
> - The benefit is that live eval cells reach their provider turn with
the same artifacts and context contract that Paperclip qualified.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #12931

**What happened?**

The full direct live eval campaign failed every ACPX cell during
`session.open`. The portable runtime had an incorrect dependency root.
Its npm install also discarded the qualified ACP server patches.
AgentCore cells first failed because Runner enforced
`aws-agentcore-harness-v1` while the provisioned stack and eval profile
use `aws-agentcore-harness-context-v2`; after aligning that revision,
the direct eval CLI still omitted the required v3 runtime context.

**Expected behavior**

The direct eval runtime must preserve the frozen pnpm dependency graph
and patched provider bytes. Runner, server validation, OpenAPI, and the
deployed AgentCore stack must use one qualification revision. Direct
eval attempts must supply the same immutable native runtime-context
contract as production.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Dispatch `Runner Direct Live Protocol Evals` from `master`.
2. Select an ACPX Claude, ACPX Codex, or AgentCore roster.
3. Observe a pre-turn provider bootstrap failure.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`d96452db059338b329b458ba8fe359fef72f1363`

**Deployment mode**

GitHub Actions on the RunsOn Linux x64 fleet.

## What Changed

- Build the reusable direct-eval runtime with `pnpm deploy --prod`.
- Resolve ACPX dependencies from the actual scoped-package layout of a
self-contained pnpm deployment.
- Align AgentCore configuration and qualification checks on
`aws-agentcore-harness-context-v2`.
- Materialize a minimal immutable v3 runtime context for each isolated
direct eval attempt.
- Add workflow, package-authority, runtime-context, Rust, and server
regression coverage.
- Document the qualified packaging, runtime-context, and AgentCore
revision contracts.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts` (70 tests)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/cli/eval-session-contract.test.ts` (14 tests)
- Focused Runner contract tests (36 tests)
- Focused server profile tests (47 tests)
- Focused Rust managed-provider and native-selector tests (19 tests)
- `node --test
packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/runner-protocol-eval-workflow-security.test.mjs`
- `actionlint .github/workflows/runner-protocol-live-evals.yml`
- A local `pnpm deploy --prod` produced both qualified ACP server
digests.
- A Linux reproduction of the first follow-up smoke identified the real
deployment root and the missing AgentCore runtime context.

## Risks

The AgentCore revision change rejects profiles that still use the
obsolete v1 value. This is intentional because the provisioned
context-aware harness and current eval profile use v2. Direct eval
prompts now receive the same fixed runtime-context preamble as
production, so behavior scores may move; that is the intended
qualification surface. The workflow package layout changes, but tests
assert the new entrypoint and dependency root. This change does not
modify the browser full-stack E2E workflow.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with GPT-5.6. The context-window size is not exposed in
this session. The model used extended reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, Docker-based Linux reproduction, and GitHub Actions
diagnostics.

Dotta 0c1e7504c0 fix(runner): persist warm Daytona workspaces across turns (#12904)
## Thinking Path

> - Daytona preserves a stopped sandbox filesystem, but deleting or
replacing a sandbox removes its only remote copy.
> - Warm reuse therefore improves latency but cannot be Paperclip's
durability boundary.
> - The host execution workspace must remain authoritative after every
successful turn, while same-run recovery must avoid overwriting
unexported remote work.
> - Result proposal, workspace export/merge, and terminal completion
need a durable, replayable ordering so a crash never starts a duplicate
provider turn.
> - A paid browser acceptance suite must exercise both legacy Codex and
Runner Codex for three real turns on one continuously warm Daytona
sandbox.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12901.

Runner Codex did not previously export successful Daytona workspace
changes back to the authoritative host workspace. That made warm reuse
depend on Daytona's remote filesystem and left deleted/replacement
sandboxes without a reliable reconstruction path. The existing paid
fixture also lacked a focused three-turn continuity case for both Codex
adapters.

## What Changed

- Persist versioned, atomic native workspace-sync descriptors and
durable seeds in `PAPERCLIP_HOME`, without credentials or a database
migration.
- Classify fresh, warm, replacement, and same-run-recovery workspace
preparation explicitly; ambiguous lease/root/digest evidence fails
closed.
- Finalize native workspace export/merge after semantic result proposal
and before run completion, with idempotent replay that never submits a
second provider turn.
- Surface legacy Codex workspace restoration failures instead of masking
them, while preserving an earlier provider error when both fail.
- Keep healthy reusable Daytona leases warm for legacy and native
adapters, stamp finalized workspace generations, and retain existing
cleanup behavior for per-turn or unhealthy leases.
- Preserve Runner Codex's provider process/session across warm turns,
including bounded post-terminal tail draining and exact authority
rotation.
- Add the exact paid `daytona-warm-continuity` matrix:
  - `legacy-codex × daytona × warm-three-turn`
  - `runner-codex × daytona × warm-three-turn`
- Drive all three turns through the browser, verify ordered file
continuity and stable lease/workspace/runtime identities, capture
per-turn timings, and delete the sandbox immediately after assertions.
- Document `pnpm test:e2e:runner -- --suite daytona-warm-continuity`; no
package script was added.

## Verification

- `pnpm typecheck` — passed, including migration safety (no migration
added)
- Focused server/runner Vitest coverage — 144 passed
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit` — 114 passed
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck` — passed
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:codex` — 66 passed,
1 helper ignored
- `native-session-executor.test.ts` — 139 passed, including safe
fail-closed cleanup after remote runner identity capture failure
- Paid local browser acceptance, exact post-rebase Linux/amd64 runner
binary:
- Runner Codex — passed in 1.7m; 3 runs; lease outcomes `created,
resumed, resumed`; 10/10 matchers; cleanup passed
- Legacy Codex — passed in 2.7m; 3 runs; lease outcomes `created,
resumed, resumed`; 10/10 matchers; cleanup passed
- [Protected paid GitHub Actions
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34026735033)
against `7da42a91b95fa7fb2df126668ef7e37afb3b2b9d` — passed 2/2:
- Runner Codex — 3 runs; lease outcomes `created, resumed, resumed`;
evidence and cleanup passed
- Legacy Codex — 3 runs; lease outcomes `created, resumed, resumed`;
evidence and cleanup passed
  - Merge/enforcement, S3 history, and Pages publication jobs passed
- Paid result artifacts were scanned for both provider credentials;
neither secret was present.
- Current PR checks — 31 passed, 1 expected Storybook skip; Greptile
5/5; Superagent security scan passed
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed
- Confirmed no `package.json`, lockfile, migration, or SQL changes.

## Risks

- Workspace synchronization now sits on the terminal-success path, so a
remote export failure deliberately prevents false success. Retryable
state retains its lease/seed; loss of the only unexported remote copy
fails closed.
- Warm provider reuse has strict identity and quiescence checks.
Mismatched or ambiguous evidence blocks reuse rather than risking
concurrent provider work.
- The paid suite incurs Daytona and Codex cost only in the existing
protected scheduled/manual workflow and explicitly destroys its sandbox
after each cell.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with GPT-5 agentic reasoning, repository inspection, real
browser E2E execution, Rust/TypeScript test execution, and GitHub
Actions diagnostics.

DottaandPaperclip 3796c6f259 fix(connections): project GitHub identity into sandbox runners (#12907)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Managed GitHub connections resolve a responsible user's or dedicated
agent's identity into an audited, run-scoped credential projection.
> - An enrolled instance could retain a hidden managed setup method
after Cloud stopped advertising it, producing a blank, disabled setup
step.
> - Native runner processes also dropped the resolved GitHub projection
before the provider shell, so `gh` and Git could not use the selected
identity in Daytona.
> - Daytona already provides the outer isolation boundary. Applying
Codex's inner Linux sandbox there both duplicated containment and failed
because nested user namespaces are unavailable.
> - This change repairs setup fallback, carries only the bounded GitHub
projection across each runner boundary, and allows only a
controller-selected managed sandbox transport to act as the outer
sandbox.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An enrolled self-hosted instance could show a blank GitHub setup step
when its managed profile was unavailable. Separately, a native Codex run
in Daytona could resolve a managed GitHub connection on the Paperclip
host but lose it before the provider shell. Once projected, Codex's
nested sandbox failed before commands could run because Daytona does not
expose the user-namespace operation used by the inner sandbox.

**Expected behavior**

Setup must select an advertised customer method when the managed method
is unavailable. A Daytona run must receive the exact managed GitHub
identity selected for that run, support `gh` and HTTPS Git, and rely on
Daytona as its outer sandbox without weakening local or SSH execution.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Enroll a self-hosted instance while Cloud does not advertise the
managed GitHub profile and open GitHub setup.
2. Observe the blank second step and disabled action.
3. Configure a native Codex agent with a Daytona environment and a
responsible-user GitHub grant.
4. Run `gh api user` or HTTPS Git from the agent shell.
5. Observe missing GitHub environment projection or nested-sandbox
startup failure.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The setup bug reproduces on `1dceee9a4`; the runner proof was developed
from the same branch and verified at the latest head below.

**Deployment mode**

Self-hosted Paperclip enrolled with Paperclip Cloud, using the Daytona
sandbox-provider plugin and native Paperclip runner.

## What Changed

- Wait for connector enrollment hydration, retain a hidden managed
method only while enrollment is needed, and otherwise select an
advertised customer fallback.
- Add a single bounded GitHub credential-environment projection for
`GH_TOKEN`, `GITHUB_TOKEN`, the process-only Git helper token, GitHub
commit identity, and at most 32 controller-generated Git config entries.
- Forward that projection through the durable controller, Codex
app-server transport, and Rust provider child without placing token
values in arguments or config.
- Allow Codex shell inheritance only for the exact projected GitHub keys
and enable provider network access only when the managed credential
exists.
- Derive outer-sandbox authority exclusively from a managed `sandbox`
transport; strip the same flag from configured, host, local, and SSH
environments.
- Define a named external-sandbox permission profile that Codex resolves
to `dangerFullAccess` for default-mode Daytona turns while plan mode
remains read-only.
- Add regression tests for setup fallback, credential projection,
local/SSH/sandbox authority separation, provider forwarding, and
permission-profile selection.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/pages/apps/AppsConnect.test.tsx` — 96
passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run src/drivers/codex/codex-security-config.test.ts
src/drivers/codex/app-server-transport.test.ts
src/control-plane/durable-prp-control-plane.test.ts` from
`packages/paperclip-runner` — 31 passed.
- Focused native-session executor tests — 3 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `cargo test --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml --locked -p
paperclip-runner-core --lib` — 194 passed.
- Real Codex app-server configuration probe accepted
`paperclip-runner-external-sandbox` and reported
`sandbox.type=\"dangerFullAccess\"` while using the named profile.
- [Signed Daytona image
workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33995270328)
built commit `86571f7997e7100e47bd131aac1f1e773112a0ce`; the isolated
environment was pinned to
`sha256:ecef21105f8de382d75787e59439d936be239b77ae74a31c8ed3a17cde39b023`.
- Live isolated Daytona proof passed: the three projected token
variables were non-empty and equal; the host-scoped Git credential
helper returned the same token without printing it; `gh api user`
resolved `cryppadotta`; authenticated `git ls-remote
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip.git HEAD` returned
`1dceee9a4e75b13456760bb54c752deb2dba1d79`; no repository mutation
occurred.
- The persisted 28,476-byte run log contains no GitHub token shape,
bearer header, credential-bearing URL, or private-key marker.
- Latest-head pull-request CI and reviews provide the remaining
full-suite gate.

## Risks

- This deliberately gives shell Git and `gh` access to the run's
resolved GitHub identity. It is the audited class-3 behavior required by
the GitHub connection design and is outside per-tool Ask-first controls.
- The credential source is the trusted broker projection, which
overwrites configured environment values. The helper is scoped to HTTPS
`github.com`, revalidates protocol and host, and never places its token
in command arguments, URLs, or files.
- Managed Daytona sandboxes become the containment boundary for
default-mode provider commands. Local and SSH targets retain the inner
Codex workspace sandbox, and plan mode remains read-only everywhere.

Dotta 1dceee9a4e fix(runner): persist warm Daytona workspaces (#12901)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agent work and the execution state for each
task.
> - Remote agents run in sandbox environments such as Daytona.
> - Daytona keeps files while a sandbox is stopped, but deletion removes
those files.
> - Runner Codex did not copy successful remote workspace changes back
to the host workspace.
> - A warm sandbox could therefore hide data loss until Daytona replaced
or deleted the sandbox.
> - This pull request makes the host workspace durable after every
successful turn and keeps verified reusable sandboxes warm.
> - The benefit is reliable multi-turn work across warm reuse, restart,
stop, and sandbox replacement.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A successful native Codex turn in Daytona could leave workspace changes
only in the remote sandbox. A later warm turn appeared to work because
it reused that filesystem. A replacement sandbox could start from stale
host data and lose the successful changes.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip must merge each successful remote turn into the authoritative
host workspace before it completes the run. A verified warm lease may
reuse its remote files. A replacement lease must reconstruct the exact
durable workspace seed.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run Codex in a reusable Daytona environment.
2. Write a file during one successful turn.
3. Replace the Daytona sandbox before the next turn.
4. Observe that the next turn can start without the prior file on the
unpatched code.

Related remote workspace foundation: #10070.

## What Changed

- Added explicit `host_current`, `durable_seed`, and `adopt_remote`
workspace preparation modes.
- Added atomic, versioned native workspace descriptors and seed archives
under `PAPERCLIP_HOME`.
- Added real native sandbox export and three-way host merge before
terminal result completion.
- Added workspace-only recovery after a proposed result. Recovery does
not submit another provider turn or consume the provider retry budget.
- Added fail-closed handling when a sandbox with unexported changes is
gone.
- Kept healthy reusable Daytona sandboxes started for legacy Codex and
Runner Codex.
- Kept the Runner Codex process and provider session across verified
warm turns.
- Added the paid `daytona-warm-continuity` browser suite. It contains
exactly the legacy Codex and Runner Codex cells. Each cell performs
three measured turns.
- Documented `pnpm test:e2e:runner -- --suite daytona-warm-continuity`.
No package script was added.
- Added no database migration. The metadata format is backward
compatible and idempotent.

## Verification

- `pnpm typecheck`
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit` — 114 passed
- Native workspace, finalizer, session, and environment tests — 232
passed
- Daytona provider tests — 150 passed
- Workspace staging and merge tests — 98 passed
- Runner transport tests — 63 passed
- Legacy Codex restore tests — 5 passed
- Rust format and compile checks pass through root typecheck
- The paid Daytona suite was not run locally because the required
Daytona, OpenAI, and immutable image credentials are not present.

## Risks

- The main risk is an incorrect workspace identity or merge after a
crash. Durable descriptors bind the run, workspace, lease, provider
lease, local root, remote root, and baseline digest. Ambiguous evidence
fails closed.
- The host merge may conflict with concurrent host edits. The existing
three-way merge and exclusion rules handle this case and surface
failures.
- A deleted sandbox cannot recover unexported bytes. Paperclip now
blocks with `workspace_sync_out_unrecoverable` instead of reporting
success or rerunning the provider.
- There is no database migration. Descriptor writes and recovery are
atomic and idempotent.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with GPT-5. The run used agentic reasoning, repository
inspection, code execution, test execution, Git, and GitHub CLI tools.

Dotta bcc6fe7a44 fix(runner): restore multi-turn remote sessions (#12840)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - The runner executes agent turns on local and remote providers.
> - A remote per-turn session must save its state before Paperclip
releases its sandbox.
> - The session runtime returned after 100 milliseconds while the remote
checkpoint still ran.
> - The next turn also checked the local state path instead of the
verified remote backup.
> - This pull request waits for the bounded remote close and accepts
only a verified suspended backup.
> - The benefit is reliable multi-turn execution without weaker identity
checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A successful remote agent turn released its sandbox before the runner
saved the verified continuation backup. The next turn failed with
`runner_state_identity_mismatch`.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip must finish the bounded remote checkpoint before it releases
the sandbox. A later turn must validate and restore the digest-matched
suspended backup.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a native ACPX Claude Plan test in a non-reusable Daytona sandbox.
2. Reject the first plan to start a second turn.
3. Observe that the second turn fails before provider execution.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The failure reproduced at `13775a90b078ff64872f50961ea1b83d575e7bc6`.

**Deployment mode**

GitHub Actions with a Daytona sandbox.

## What Changed

- Wait for the internally bounded remote runner close and checkpoint
before the host returns.
- Preserve the existing short cleanup bound for other providers.
- Validate remote continuation lifecycle from a complete digest-verified
backup when local runner state is absent.
- Keep corrupt, non-suspended, mismatched, and unverified state
fail-closed.
- Make native Plan completion and accepted-Plan wake prompts
deterministic.

## Verification

- A prior 45-cell local campaign passed 44 cells. The only failure was
the OpenCode Plan prompt variance fixed here.
- A focused OpenCode local Plan rerun passed.
- ACPX Claude Daytona message and question cells passed.
- Focused regressions cover delayed checkpoint close and verified remote
backup lifecycle.
- GitHub Build and the focused ACPX Claude Daytona Plan cell will
validate this exact head.

## Risks

Remote runnerd sessions now wait for their internally bounded
close/checkpoint path before returning; generic provider cleanup retains
the existing 100 millisecond bound. Durable run success still cannot be
reversed. The environment release guard still blocks sandbox destruction
when no verified backup stamp exists.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5.6, extended reasoning, with code execution and
GitHub Actions inspection.

DottaandPaperclip 0ffc091473 feat(connections): add durable GitHub identities and webhooks (#12843)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents need source control access for repository work
> - A shared token cannot preserve the responsible person's identity or
an agent's dedicated identity
> - GitHub App tokens also need durable refresh, repository access
checks, and webhook delivery
> - Paperclip already has managed connections, encrypted grants, run
secret leases, and merge-confirmation behavior
> - This pull request extends those systems with GitHub identities
instead of adding a parallel credential system
> - The benefit is durable GitHub access with explicit identity,
repository, runtime, and webhook boundaries

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue describes this connection change. This
description follows the feature request template.

**Subsystem affected**

Connected Apps, connection grants, secret resolution, native Git runtime
setup, webhook processing, and the Apps UI.

**Problem or motivation**

Users need to connect GitHub once and let agents use the correct GitHub
identity. A run should use a dedicated agent account when one exists.
Otherwise, it should use the responsible person's account. The
connection must survive token expiry, repository access changes, and
temporary instance downtime.

**Proposed solution**

Add user-owned and agent-owned GitHub grants to the existing connection
model. Resolve one identity for MCP, Git, `gh`, health checks, and
webhook bindings. Store provider tokens in the existing encrypted secret
system. Refresh expiring token pairs under the existing lease and
compare-and-swap path. Register signed Cloud webhook bindings and
process normalized pull request and installation events through a
durable local inbox.

**Alternatives considered**

An organization-wide GitHub token would lose person and agent
attribution. Environment variables alone would bypass the managed
connection and grant model. A new GitHub-only credential store would
duplicate the existing secret and access systems. GitHub App
installation tokens and private-key custody remain outside this first
version.

**Roadmap alignment**

This change implements the Connected Apps direction. It also extends the
shipped MCP Tool Gateway, per-agent secret access, and
action-attribution systems. It does not add a repository catalog. The
open repository catalog work in
[#11234](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/11234) is related
and complementary.

## What Changed

- Added agent-owned connection grants and a per-agent credential policy
with company and subject constraints.
- Added a managed GitHub App method while keeping the personal access
token method as an advanced fallback.
- Added durable access-token and refresh-token handling with proactive
rotation and one automatic recovery after a provider `401`.
- Added GitHub identity and installation summaries without storing
repository-name lists.
- Added signed Cloud webhook binding, event lease, acknowledgement,
local idempotency, pull request merge processing, and installation
access handling.
- Added one identity resolver for MCP, native Git, `gh`, checkout,
health checks, and webhook bindings.
- Added a class-3 run projection for `GH_TOKEN`, `GITHUB_TOKEN`, a
`github.com`-only credential helper, SSH-to-HTTPS rewrite, and GitHub
noreply commit attribution.
- Added personal and dedicated-agent setup choices plus identity,
repository, continuity, and webhook status in the Apps UI.
- Added schema migrations, tests, and connection documentation.

## Verification

- The current head is fully green in GitHub CI, including build,
typecheck, all serialized/general server shards, all browser shards,
policy, canary dry run, review, and security checks.
- Live staging proof completed with a non-expiring GitHub App user
token, selected-repository installation, repository add/remove refresh,
managed MCP, native `gh`, HTTPS clone/push/delete, GitHub noreply commit
attribution, signed merged-PR webhook acceptance, durable
Cloud-to-instance delivery, and installation-access event processing.
Temporary branches and temporary repository access were removed
afterward.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed before and after the rebase onto
`origin/master`.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- The focused connector suite passed 285 tests after the rebase.
- The full stable suite passed 5,790 tests and failed 22 tests across 8
general server files. The failures reproduced as shared-runner
environment issues. They included `/tmp` versus `/private/tmp`, closed
database connections, and invalid high ephemeral ports. The focused
connection tests pass in isolation.

## Risks

- Migrations add agent grant subjects and a durable connection-event
inbox. Migration numbering and safety checks pass.
- A raw GitHub user token enters the agent process for Git and `gh`.
Per-tool Ask-first controls cannot limit those shell operations. The UI
warns users about this boundary.
- GitHub App user tokens can be non-expiring. Paperclip performs a
continuity check every 30 days, but provider revocation still requires a
reconnect.
- The webhook path accepts only signed and bounded payloads. It stores a
minimal normalized record and no raw provider payload.
- GitHub repository permissions remain authoritative. Removed access can
make a cached repository count temporarily stale, but runtime access
fails immediately.

Dotta 263f181fed fix(runner): complete live hot restart adoption (#12852)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Runner owns durable provider sessions and streams their
work to the control plane.
> - Pull request #12845 added native restart recovery for live and dead
local runners.
> - A real browser test found three live-adoption gaps after that pull
request merged.
> - Lazy runner process ownership was not always stored before restart.
> - The old controller did not release its PRP authority without closing
the provider turn.
> - Reconnect events could arrive before the active provider turn was
restored.
> - This pull request closes those gaps and proves the same turn
completes after a UI hot restart.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12845

Related search results: #12646 covers indeterminate command results
after a runner restart. It does not cover controller adoption or
active-turn rebinding. No open duplicate pull request was found.

## What Changed

- Store lazy runnerd process ownership after provider session creation,
read, and resume.
- Detach native PRP controller authority during coordinated hot
shutdown. Keep the live provider turn running.
- Restore the exact checkpointed provider session when bounded PRP
identity events have been compacted.
- Restore the active provider turn before reconnect events are replayed.
This prevents `turn_binding_mismatch`.
- Keep exact live ownership by the current controller out of generic
orphan recovery.
- Add driver, transport, and server regression tests for these paths.

## Verification

- Ran 12 Codex driver lifecycle tests.
- Ran 53 runnerd transport tests.
- Ran 143 recovery and orphan-reaper server tests.
- Ran all 8 real-process restart recovery scenarios.
- Ran all 96 existing runner E2E unit tests.
- Ran runner TypeScript typecheck.
- Ran server TypeScript typecheck.
- Ran the migration replay test and migration safety checks.
- Tested the board UI on an isolated local instance. A real local
Codex-backed turn entered a 120-second terminal wait. The UI `Restart
now` action replaced the server and kept the same runner PID, process
start time, run ID, native session ID, runner ID, provider session ID,
and active turn. The original turn then completed.
- Confirmed one heartbeat run, no retry row, one result, one
proposed-result event, one terminal event, no protocol errors, no active
recovery state, and no surviving runner or provider process.

## Risks

- A live runner can continue provider work while no server owns the
control route. Recovery fails closed when the process fingerprint or
durable identity is ambiguous.
- Provider identity can be restored from the database only for an exact
verified adoption claim. An authenticated live `session.snapshot`
validates that identity before the driver can resume.
- The new detach path applies only to native sessions that expose
restart detachment. Other adapters keep their existing shutdown
behavior.
- This follow-up does not change the database migration or
`package.json`. The migration in #12845 remains replay-safe through `ADD
COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS` and its embedded-Postgres idempotence test. The
dedicated real-process command remains in `doc/DEVELOPING.md`.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex based on GPT-5. The exact serving build and
context-window size are not exposed. The run used extended reasoning,
repository tools, shell execution, and in-app browser automation.

Dotta 7b094724e6 fix(runner): recover native sessions across restarts (#12845)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Paperclip Runner keeps durable run and provider state outside
one server process.
> - A server restart can leave that runner alive or can interrupt it
after a provider checkpoint.
> - The old startup path used handoff intent and PID evidence, but it
did not reconstruct native ownership.
> - That gap could block the issue, create a replacement run, or start
duplicate provider work.
> - This pull request adds durable same-run recovery for coordinated and
uncoordinated restarts.
> - The benefit is exact recovery of the run, runner, session, provider,
steering, and finalization state.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #9628. That pull request added earlier local-adapter hot-restart
work. This change adds native PRP authority reconstruction and same-run
provider resume.

Refs #10935. That pull request handles missing hot-restart snapshots.
This change also supports hard restarts with no snapshot.

Refs #11624. That pull request prevents unsafe retry after an adopted
legacy process exits. This change reconciles native terminal evidence
before provider recovery.

Refs #12070. That pull request improves process liveness checks. This
change also binds recovery to a process-start fingerprint and fails
closed on ambiguity.

**What happened?**

The server could record hot-restart intent, but startup did not rebuild
native runner ownership. A live runner could not re-register its PRP
authority. A dead runner could not resume the exact native and provider
session on the same heartbeat run. Generic recovery could then block the
issue or create replacement work.

**Expected behavior**

A live native runner must reconnect with the same PID and logical
identities. A dead runner must resume the same durable session and
heartbeat run with only a new operating-system PID. A proposed or
terminal result must finalize once before any provider turn starts.
Ambiguous process or session evidence must stay blocked without a signal
or duplicate spawn.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a Paperclip Runner heartbeat and wait for an active provider
turn.
2. Restart only the Paperclip server, with or without a hot-restart
marker.
3. Observe that the old startup path does not reconstruct the native
control-plane authority.
4. Kill both the server and runner after a provider checkpoint.
5. Observe that the old path cannot resume the exact native session on
the original heartbeat run.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The defect was reproduced from commit
`1991f31fd53e7f7794d5c2e4b93be384ade2b41d`. This branch is rebased onto
the current `master`.

**Deployment mode**

Local development and self-hosted server deployments that use the local
Paperclip Runner.

## What Changed

- Added correlated hot-restart requests and version-compatible native
handoff fields.
- Added controller boot identity, process-start identity, controller
generation, recovery state, request id, and bounded history to the
native finalization ledger.
- Added transactional recovery claims for live-runner reattach,
dead-runner resume, and incomplete bootstrap.
- Added fail-closed ownership takeover rules and process identity
validation.
- Added live runner adoption to the local runner transport without a
duplicate spawn.
- Added same-run provider checkpoint resume and legacy retry-row
compatibility.
- Reconciled proposed and terminal results before runner or provider
recovery.
- Bound the HTTP and PRP listener before startup recovery and delayed
scheduling and generic reapers until classification completes.
- Added restart-aware health diagnostics, run-log recovery transitions,
durable runner diagnostics, and bounded shutdown finalizer draining.
- Moved restart-survivable diagnostics into runner-owned, pre-redacted
bounded writes; raw stdout and stderr are never persisted.
- Added process-start fencing for controller, runner, and provider PIDs;
startup classifies every candidate without an implicit cap.
- Added crash-recoverable, contention-safe development restart-request
coordination and failed-startup listener cleanup.
- Added a credential-free real-process restart suite for eight restart,
scale, and identity scenarios.
- Documented native restart operation, persistence, diagnostics, and
verification.

## Verification

- The documented native restart commands passed. They ran eight
real-process/database recovery scenarios and the live runner adoption
transport test.
- Native executor tests passed: 111 tests.
- Heartbeat recovery tests passed: 124 tests.
- Hot restart, health, and shutdown tests passed: 52 tests.
- The broader affected server suite passed: 350 tests.
- Focused native recovery and startup tests passed: 49 tests.
- Runner transport and control-plane tests passed: 63 tests.
- Runner-owned diagnostic tests passed for write-time bounding,
credential redaction, private file modes, and raw stream
non-persistence.
- Development restart coordination tests passed: 11 tests.
- Database migration checks and the partial-application/replay
regression test passed.
- Server, database, and Paperclip Runner typechecks passed.
- `git diff --check` passed.
- Full Paperclip PR CI passed, including build, canary, all five general
server shards, all five serialized server shards, all three browser E2E
shards, workspace suites, and release-registry verification.
- Greptile completed at 5/5 with no outstanding findings,
recommendations, follow-ups, or open review threads.

## Risks

- Moderate risk. This changes startup ordering and ownership transfer
for active native runs.
- The migration adds nullable columns and does not rewrite existing
rows.
- Recovery fails closed when process or durable session identity is
incomplete or contradictory.
- The first implementation supports the local Paperclip Runner. Remote
targets keep their existing behavior.
- The real-process suite covers cleanup and asserts that no runner or
provider process survives each test.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 184b014c25 feat(telemetry): add the agent.task_run event and emit it at every terminal run transition (#12809)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip records agent run outcomes through telemetry and run
lifecycle services
> - Terminal run transitions need one consistent event for outcome

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Paperclip telemetry reports agent activity, but it does not report every
terminal task run through one event.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting (multiple of the above): packages/shared telemetry and
server run lifecycle services.

**Current behavior**

Several run paths write a terminal status without a matching
agent.task_run telemetry event.

**Proposed behavior**

Each terminal run transition emits one agent.task_run event. The event
records the terminal state and uses the existing pseudonym helper for
the optional task identifier.

**Reason and benefit**

Complete terminal-run data helps operators measure agent outcomes. The
pseudonym helper prevents the raw task identifier from leaving the
installation.

**Breaking changes**

None. The change adds an event and keeps existing event behavior
compatible.

## What Changed

- Add the agent.task_run telemetry contract and client helper.
- Reuse the existing pseudonym helper for the task identifier. The
helper hashes the identifier with a per-installation salt and returns 16
hexadecimal characters. The raw identifier never leaves the
installation. Existing identifiers do not move.
- Emit one event from each legacy, native, recovery, and issue terminal
transition.
- Keep emissions outside database transactions and make delivery
best-effort.
- Add regression tests for event shape, hashing, terminal transitions,
and emission failures.
- Document the event and its privacy rule in the telemetry data
contract.

## Verification

- `npx tsc --noEmit` in `server/` passes at the submitted commit.
- The pull-request CI suite must pass. CI is the authority because local
Vitest has a known dependency artifact.
- The added regression tests cover event output shape, per-installation
hash divergence, raw identifier handoff, omitted identifiers, and
non-throwing emits.

## Risks

- A missed terminal path could reduce event coverage.
- Telemetry delivery remains best-effort and cannot change run
finalization.
- The pseudonym helper uses installation-specific state, so identifiers
differ between installations.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution. Context window details
were not provided.

Dotta af3023f1e3 fix(runner): repair paid provider startup paths (#12769)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents that perform work.
> - Paperclip Runner connects durable task runs to local provider
processes.
> - The full-stack paid matrix exposed failures after the runner
integrity repair.
> - Verified JavaScript entrypoints lost their relative module graph
when Linux executed them through descriptor paths.
> - Returned provider startup errors also remained pending and became
indeterminate after recovery.
> - Sparse Codex tool lifecycle events lost the `write_document`
identity before task transcript projection.
> - This pull request repairs those three boundaries and makes the
structured-question fixture deterministic.
> - The benefit is repeatable provider startup, exact failure replay,
and correct inline Plan placement.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12721 and #12700.

**What happened?**

The paid runner matrix failed ACPX and OpenCode startup before provider
session creation. The runner journal then replaced the original startup
error with an indeterminate recovery result. Native Codex saved a Plan
but rendered it only as a fallback card. A legacy Claude waiting reply
could also echo the reserved terminal marker before the answer arrived.

**Expected behavior**

Verified JavaScript providers must start from immutable
descriptor-backed artifacts. Returned startup failures must persist as
terminal failed command results. Native tool lifecycle updates must
preserve the `write_document` boundary. Pre-answer fixture output must
not contain the reserved terminal marker.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run the local provider cells in the Runner Full-Stack E2E workflow.
2. Observe ACPX and OpenCode fail during `session.open` before provider
execution.
3. Observe recovery report `execution_indeterminate` instead of the
original startup error.
4. Run the native Codex Plan cell and observe the fallback Plan card
after the tool activity row.
5. Run the legacy Claude structured-question resume cell and observe an
early marker echo in waiting prose.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`0f9452101740835ce0b1488a204bf48acd5bafc3`

**Deployment mode**

Local development with the paid GitHub Actions acceptance workflow.

## What Changed

- Bundle the ACPX sidecar and OpenCode proxy as self-contained Node ESM
entrypoints before hashing and verified descriptor launch.
- Anchor ACPX dynamic provider package resolution at a
controller-derived provider-pack root and keep that root out of the
provider child environment.
- Persist executor-returned startup errors as redacted durable failed
command results while retaining indeterminate recovery for true process
death.
- Coalesce sparse native tool items by stable ID so a late
`write_document` name, input, and result reach the transcript boundary
once.
- Forbid the structured-question fixture from spelling or announcing its
reserved terminal marker before the user answers.

## Verification

- Rust and TypeScript regression tests cover durable failed replay, true
crash ambiguity, bundle closure, package-root derivation, environment
filtering, exact Codex tool lifecycle coalescing, and prompt
determinism.
- Local execution is intentionally limited to formatters and static diff
checks. GitHub Actions will run tests, type checks, builds, and security
checks.
- After ordinary CI is green, scoped paid cells will validate one ACPX
launch, one OpenCode launch, native Codex Plan projection, and legacy
Claude structured resume before a complete matrix rerun.
- Prior failing matrix:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33682434315

## Risks

- Bundling changes the bytes covered by provider launch hashes.
Provider-pack generation already hashes the final built files.
- ACPX still loads qualified provider packages dynamically. The
controller supplies a normalized package root, while existing version,
digest, path, and descriptor checks remain active.
- Durable `failed` is terminal. Replays return the same redacted result
and do not execute the provider effect twice.

with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex based on GPT-5 with agentic reasoning, repository
inspection, code editing, Git, parallel subagents, and GitHub Actions
coordination. The exact deployed snapshot and context-window size are
not exposed to this task.

Dotta 0f94521017 fix(runner): restore local session and task integrity (#12721)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the control plane for agents that perform work.
> - Paperclip Runner connects durable provider sessions to individual
task runs through PRP.
> - Provider continuity and per-run authority are different lifetimes.
> - The existing implementation mixed those lifetimes and lost event
metadata between provider frames, runnerd, persistence, API
sanitization, and the task thread.
> - That caused failed continuation, missing progress and Plans,
duplicate replies, hidden failures, and unsafe recovery.
> - This repair gives every heartbeat fresh authority, preserves
qualified provider-session continuity, and restores one lossless
presentation path without changing direct adapters.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A second native heartbeat could reuse tickets, leases, command receipts,
sequence state, and run identity from the first heartbeat. Provider
phase and item identity could be lost before the UI read them. Redaction
could corrupt protocol discriminators while still missing malformed
credential tails. The task thread could fold progress into the final
response, hide failures, or show more than one final answer. Native
Codex also exposed approval modes that do not yet have a durable
approval bridge.

**Expected behavior**

Each heartbeat uses a new PRP authority epoch. Codex and OpenCode
preserve exact qualified provider sessions; ACPX emits an explicit
continuity event when its qualified process-replacement policy is used.
Every accepted provider event is presented, classified as internal, or
surfaced as unsupported. The task page shows chronological progress,
reasoning summaries, activity, Plans, interactions, terminal failures,
and exactly one final reply. Direct adapters retain their existing path.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Enable the unified experimental Paperclip Runner setting.
2. Create a local native Codex, OpenCode, ACPX Claude, or ACPX Codex
agent.
3. Run response, Plan, structured-question/resume, restart,
cancellation, and failure scenarios.
4. Reload the task while active, waiting, failed, and settled.
5. On the old implementation, observe stale run authority, missing
classifications, incomplete output, or duplicated/folded replies.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The repair is based directly on `master` at
`87d05e194b643810d16d20612115acd01d735d43`.

**Deployment mode**

Local development with the embedded database.

Related work: Refs #12616, #12646, #12666, #12685, and #12700.

## What Changed

- Rotates PRP control-plane, outbox, ticket, lease, command, receipt,
and sequence authority for each heartbeat while carrying forward only a
validated provider-session identity.
- Reads `control-plane-state.json`, validates both durable schemas and
lifecycle values, resumes coherent current runs, archives qualified
settled authority, and quarantines malformed or mismatched scoped state
without moving ambiguous live legacy state.
- Preserves Codex provider phase and stable item identities so
commentary remains progress and only `final_answer` becomes final.
- Adds raw OpenCode HTTP/SSE boundary coverage and canonical reasoning
lifecycle mapping.
- Makes ACPX normalization lossless for visible reasoning, tool
lifecycle metadata, stable bounded identities, Plan revisions,
structured requests, failures, and qualified process replacement. Only
the compatible terminal assistant message is promoted as final.
- Applies schema-aware redaction before generic JWT-shaped detection and
scans every diagnostic string leaf. Malformed raw/escaped quoted
credential tails are redacted in both server and durable Rust state.
- Restores snapshot-style chronological task presentation, expandable
tool activity, inline Plan cards, visible waiting/resume/cancel/failure
states, and exactly one final answer.
- Makes `never` the only qualified native Codex permission mode and
rejects unsupported persisted native modes with remediation. OpenCode
and ACPX policies remain intact.
- Keeps the unified experimental Runner setting as the only enablement
flag. Onboarding and direct Codex, Claude, and OpenCode stay on their
legacy execution/finalization paths.
- Adds cross-language goldens, authority/recovery/fault coverage, exact
response/count assertions, and native plus legacy acceptance scenarios.

## Verification

- Pull-request GitHub Actions run Rust formatting/tests, TypeScript
checks, server/UI tests, builds, protocol drift checks, browser E2E, and
security scans.
- A separate workflow-only validation ref is pinned directly on this PR
head and runs the 35-cell paid local matrix: three core scenarios plus
structured-question resume and restart/resume for native Codex, native
OpenCode, ACPX Claude, ACPX Codex, and direct Codex/Claude/OpenCode.
Run: https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33682434315
- Acceptance requires exact single visible replies, monotonic sequences,
matching envelope discriminators, one semantic terminal, one run
terminal, no unresolved interaction, no duplicate mutation, no secret
leakage, provider continuity, and zero native rows for direct adapters.
- Per maintainer direction, tests are running in GitHub Actions rather
than on the slower local host. Only formatters and static diff checks
were run locally.

## Risks

- Recovery from old or partial filesystem state is sensitive. The repair
fails closed, preserves active or unverifiable authority, and
quarantines only state whose scoped ownership is safe to move.
- Provider event formats can change. Closed validators and boundary
goldens turn new or malformed events into visible diagnostics instead of
silent drops.
- Shared task presentation could affect direct adapters. Runtime-fact
gating plus the direct-adapter matrix protect the existing path.
- Managed and remote providers are not qualified here. Shared code
continues to compile and fail safely, but live qualification is
deferred.

Dotta fdf8c8464d feat(runner): add managed provider backends (#12699)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Paperclip Runner provides durable, provider-neutral agent
execution.
> - The current stack supports qualified local providers but omits the
managed provider paths from the integration branch.
> - Claude Managed Agents and AWS AgentCore need explicit profile
qualification, durable recovery, usage accounting, and cleanup controls.
> - This pull request adds those managed backends as the third part of
the Runner parity stack.
> - The benefit is managed execution without weakening the default-off
Runner rollout gate.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: Runner, server orchestration, database profiles, CLI, and
adapter configuration UI.

**Problem or motivation**

The current Runner stack cannot select or execute the managed Claude
Agents API or AWS Bedrock AgentCore Harness backends. It also lacks
qualified profile storage and recovery checks for those remote
resources.

**Proposed solution**

Add qualified managed and remote profiles, API and CLI management, exact
provider selection, durable lifecycle handling, cumulative usage
accounting, bounded cleanup, and retention acknowledgement. Keep
`enableNativeRunner` default-off.

**Alternatives considered**

A direct copy of the old integration branch was rejected because its
provider contracts, model values, credential flow, and migration history
no longer match the current base. A single large parity pull request was
also rejected because stacked review keeps each subsystem bounded.

**Roadmap alignment**

This continues the existing Runner architecture and rollout work. It
does not introduce a separate execution system.

**Additional context**

This pull request is based on the merged #12691 and #12685 stack. It
also closes the delayed security-review findings reported on #12691 by
binding qualified ACPX and OpenCode launch artifacts to the bytes
actually executed. A GitHub search for managed agent, AgentCore, and
Claude managed work found no duplicate public issue or pull request.

## What Changed

- Add Claude Managed Agents and AWS AgentCore provider executors to
runnerd.
- Add qualified managed and remote profile storage, routes, OpenAPI
contracts, CLI commands, and migration 0237.
- Validate profile ownership, enabled state, exact qualified revision,
model, agent version, and secret binding before persistence and
recovery.
- Persist durable provider session and owned skill state for
restart-safe cleanup.
- Reconcile uncertain create responses and delete remote sessions before
owned skills.
- Track cumulative provider usage and enforce positive session spend
caps.
- Recover interrupted AgentCore usage at the next turn boundary by
charging the prior invocation ceiling exactly once; keep the session
gated until an explicit monotonic budget raise.
- Isolate AgentCore AWS configuration from host profiles and
credential-process/SSO configuration while preserving workload identity.
- Require OpenCode 1.18.17 and fixed build-owned provider-pack artifact
paths; remove the ambient executable override.
- Snapshot and content-verify ACPX and OpenCode commands, scripts, and
provider executables before launch. Linux executes sealed inherited
descriptors; macOS uses authenticated private snapshots with retry-safe
rematerialization at the spawn boundary.
- Persist canonical ACPX and OpenCode launch-profile digests, reject
drift across fresh recovery, and make recovery failures sticky.
- Close and journal unsafe ACPX active-turn recovery before any provider
bootstrap or reconnect.
- Add managed provider fields to the Runner configuration UI and
permission projection.
- Preserve the default-off `enableNativeRunner` experimental flag.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- Focused managed server, database, CLI, Runner TypeScript, Rust,
Claude, AgentCore, ACPX, OpenCode, process-supervisor, and
durable-recovery tests passed.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib --locked` (160 tests)
- `cargo check --workspace --all-targets --locked`
- Native Codex integration tests passed (60 tests); native provider
tests passed (7 tests); server native-runtime tests passed (87 tests).
- Verified-launch replacement, nested-spawn retry, exact-version,
profile-drift, sticky-failure, and no-bootstrap active-recovery tests
passed.
- `git diff --check`
- The PR changes 91 files. `pnpm-lock.yaml` is unchanged. The Rust
workspace lockfile adds the approved `rustix` dependency used for safe
descriptor handling while `#![forbid(unsafe_code)]` remains enabled.

## Risks

- The provider APIs can change while they are in beta. Exact
qualification and fail-closed recovery checks limit drift.
- Remote cleanup can fail after a partial create. Durable ownership
inventories and retry-safe deletion preserve recovery state.
- Migration 0237 adds profile tables. The generated migration and
snapshot pass the repository migration checks.
- Managed execution can incur provider cost. Positive default spend caps
and explicit retention acknowledgement limit accidental use.
- An interrupted AgentCore invocation without final metadata is
conservatively charged to its active session ceiling. This can overstate
cost, but cannot undercount it; later work requires an explicit budget
increase.
- Linux qualified launches use sealed memory descriptors. macOS lacks
executable-descriptor APIs, so the runner uses owner-only private
snapshots and minimizes linked-path lifetime; hostile same-UID processes
remain outside the documented local-host trust boundary.
- The global Runner feature remains default-off.

Dotta 84bedd4ca1 feat(runner): activate qualified OpenCode and ACPX providers (#12691)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Runner is the experimental native runtime for governed
agent work.
> - The runtime contracts already describe Codex, OpenCode, and ACPX
providers.
> - The merged control plane still rejected OpenCode and ACPX for new
runner agents.
> - Runnerd also selected only the Codex provider implementation.
> - This pull request activates the qualified OpenCode and ACPX paths
from the form to runnerd.
> - The benefit is one durable runner path with provider-specific
permissions and recovery.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12685

**Subsystem affected**

This change affects the runner package, server orchestration, adapter
configuration, and UI configuration.

**Problem or motivation**

Paperclip Runner stores provider contracts for OpenCode and ACPX. New
agents cannot select those providers. Runnerd cannot execute those
stored provider descriptors. The UI also shows only Codex.

**Proposed solution**

Accept the qualified OpenCode 1.18.17 profile and the fixed ACPX Claude
and Codex profiles. Route them through runnerd. Keep provider selection,
model selection, permissions, credentials, events, and recovery inside
closed provider-specific boundaries.

**Alternatives considered**

One option was to keep the contracts dormant. That option leaves stored
configuration and runtime behavior out of sync. Another option was to
enable every ACPX agent. That option is not safe because Pi does not yet
have the same verified launch path.

**Roadmap alignment**

This change supports the completed cloud and sandbox agent milestone. It
also supports self-healing runs and governed agent execution. It does
not add a new roadmap surface.

## What Changed

- Add one server profile resolver for Codex, OpenCode, and qualified
ACPX descriptors.
- Keep `adapterConfig` as the provider and permission authority for
fresh runs.
- Add Paperclip Runner provider, ACPX agent, and provider-specific
permission controls to the UI.
- Reset the model to a compatible qualified value when the provider
changes.
- Route Codex, OpenCode, and ACPX through the durable runnerd provider
selector.
- Add a durable ACPX executor with bounded state, recovery, events, tool
receipts, and identity checks.
- Remove Codex labels from OpenCode events, results, evidence, and
recovery diagnostics.
- Pass only provider-specific credential names to child processes.
- Keep ACPX Pi unavailable and reject it before process launch.
- Keep the existing Paperclip Runner experimental flag unchanged.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/paperclip-runner/src/backends/native-backend-factory.test.ts

- The focused TypeScript, server, and UI suites passed 274 tests.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --test native_provider_backend`

- The Rust unit suite passed 91 tests.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm build`
- `git diff --check codex/runner-parity-task-runtime...HEAD`

## Risks

- This changes provider process selection and durable recovery. The
experimental flag still gates every fresh Paperclip Runner run.
- OpenCode requires a model in `provider/model` form and stays pinned to
version 1.18.17.
- ACPX accepts only exact Claude and Codex profile versions and models.
Pi stays unavailable.
- ACPX steering stays unavailable and reports that limit through the
driver capabilities.
- Child processes receive explicit environment allowlists. They do not
inherit the full server environment.
- This pull request has no database migration.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip b4f302d040 feat(grok-local): copy a refreshed sandbox credential back to the host (#12696)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip runs agents through provider-specific adapters in local
and remote environments
> - A remote Grok run can refresh its credential inside its sandbox
> - The host copy can become stale when teardown discards that refreshed
credential
> - This pull request copies the refreshed credential back through a
locked, fail-closed teardown path
> - The benefit is that later Grok runs can use the refreshed host
credential without another login

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #12618

**Agent or provider**

Grok local adapter.

**Why this adapter is useful**

A remote Grok run can refresh its access token during a run. Copying the
refreshed credential back to the host keeps later runs ready to use.

**How the agent is invoked**

Paperclip invokes the Grok local adapter through its remote subscription
run path. The adapter stages the company Grok home as a sandbox asset.

The change adds a copy-out step on the teardown path.

## What Changed

- `grok-auth-merge-decision.cjs` adds a host predicate in its own
process. It compares the whole `<issuer>::<uuid>` identity key of the
two files. It reads `expires_at` as an ISO-8601 string, an epoch-seconds
number, or an epoch-milliseconds number. It exits 10 to use the source,
20 to keep the destination, 21 when the expiry shape is unreadable, and
22 when the source expiry sits more than 400 days after the host clock.
It fails closed in every unclear case: an unusable side, a different
identity, an absent expiry, a tie, an unreadable expiry, and an
implausible expiry all keep the destination.
- `grok-auth-merge-decision.ts` adds a wrapper that runs the predicate
and maps the exit code to a typed result.
- `grok-auth-copyback.ts` adds `copyBackGrokAuth({ hostHomeDir,
readSandboxAuth, log, env })`. It locks on `hostHomeDir` with
`withDirectoryMergeLock`, stages the sandbox bytes into a private `0600`
temporary file, runs the predicate, and installs the file with an atomic
rename in the same directory. It keeps no backup of the displaced
credential. It leaves no temporary file on the success path, the keep
path, or an error path. On an error it logs the `errno` code only, then
re-throws.
- `execute.ts` adds a `restore` callback to the Grok `home` asset. The
callback takes the destination from
`resolveManagedGrokHomeDir(process.env, agent.companyId)`, never from
`env.GROK_HOME`. A copy-out failure does not fail the run.
- `package.json` updates the `build` script to copy
`grok-auth-merge-decision.cjs` into `dist/server/`, because `tsc` does
not copy a `.cjs` file.

**The credential shape this predicate reads**

A redacted sample of a real vendor credential answered four structural
questions. The answers hold no credential bytes, no account identifier,
no file path, and no timestamp value.

1. `expires_at` is present.
2. `expires_at` sits inside the value object, under the
`<issuer>::<uuid>` key. It is not a top-level field.
3. `expires_at` is an ISO-8601 string. It carries UTC time with a
trailing `Z` and six fractional-second digits.
4. A normal run rewrites `auth.json`. The value object carries a
`refresh_token` next to `expires_at`, so the client refreshes the access
token and rewrites the file.

## Verification

- [x] `pnpm vitest run packages/adapters/grok-local` — 114 tests in 12
files pass.
- [x] `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-grok-local typecheck` — clean.
- [x] `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-grok-local build` — succeeds,
and `dist/server/grok-auth-merge-decision.cjs` exists after the build.
- [x] Continuous integration is green on every check.

## Risks

The predicate keeps the host credential when identity, expiry, file
access, or freshness data is unclear. The copy-out path can log an error
and leave the run successful when it cannot install the refreshed
credential. The atomic rename and directory lock protect the host file
from partial writes and concurrent copy-out actions.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-5, current deployment. The exact runtime version and context
window are not exposed to this agent. The model used tool calls and code
inspection.

DottaandPaperclip 86ebdf842e fix(runner): keep agents running when app connections expire (#12670)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents can receive governed access to connected apps through the
runtime MCP gateway.
> - A connected app can become unavailable when its sign-in expires or
its health state needs attention.
> - The native runner treated that optional app state as a fatal runtime
setup error.
> - One unavailable app could therefore stop all unrelated agent work.
> - This pull request removes the fatal dependency and keeps the
available app assignment immutable.
> - The benefit is that an agent can continue its work while the stream
tells the user which app needs reconnection.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An agent could not start a native run when one assigned app connection
was disabled, degraded, failed, or missing its secret. Runtime context
creation or MCP delivery threw an error before the agent could do
unrelated work.

**Expected behavior**

The run must continue without the unavailable app. Healthy assigned apps
must remain available. The stream must explain which app needs
reconnection. A changed assignment must not give a native run new access
after its immutable context is captured.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Assign an MCP app connection to a Paperclip Runner agent.
2. Set the connection to a state that needs attention, such as
`degraded`.
3. Start a task run for that agent.
4. Observe that native runtime setup fails before the agent starts.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced from `ee2a19062`. The branch is rebased on `dda4dff64`.

**Deployment mode**

Local development from source with embedded Postgres.

No matching public issue or open pull request was found in the GitHub
search.

## What Changed

- Filter unavailable assigned app connections from the immutable native
runtime MCP snapshot.
- Keep healthy assigned connections and their tools in the snapshot.
- Replace the fatal native MCP availability check with an optional
stream warning callback.
- Withhold MCP delivery when the current assignment digest does not
match the captured native context.
- Prevent a warning delivery failure from stopping the agent run.
- Add regression tests for disabled, degraded, mixed healthy and
unavailable, and assignment-drift cases.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/native-runtime/runtime-context.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-runtime-mcp-servers.test.ts` passes with
8 tests.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passes.
- `pnpm build` passes.
- `pnpm test:run` was attempted. Unrelated workspace runtime and
port-exposure tests failed on this macOS host. The same files also
failed when run without the changed MCP tests. The changed MCP tests
remained green. Clean GitHub CI is the final full-suite check.

## Risks

- Low migration risk. This change has no schema or API contract
migration.
- An unavailable app is absent from the run MCP surface until it is
reconnected and a later run captures it again.
- Assignment drift fails closed. The agent keeps running, but the
changed gateway is not delivered.
- This pull request does not auto-block the issue before the agent
decides that the app is required. It emits reconnect guidance in the
stream. The existing connection-request interaction remains the path for
a required app.

discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, `gpt-5.6-sol`, with high reasoning, repository tools,
code execution, and browser automation. The runtime did not expose the
context-window size.

Dotta ee2a190626 Unify Paperclip Runner experimental controls (#12666)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Runner is an experimental execution adapter.
> - The adapter and its required sandbox ingress had separate settings.
> - A user could enable one setting and still have an unusable runner
configuration.
> - The runtime already makes one durable native or legacy decision for
each run.
> - This pull request uses that runtime decision for ingress
authorization.
> - The benefit is one clear opt-in with safe recovery for existing
native runs.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

This improves the experimental settings and transport authorization for
Paperclip Runner.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting. This change affects the React settings UI, shared
settings contracts, adapter utilities, and server runtime selection.

**Current behavior**

Settings shows separate Paperclip Runner and Runner Preview Ingress
controls. A user can enable the runner but leave required sandbox
ingress disabled.

**Proposed behavior**

Settings shows only Paperclip Runner. Its native runtime decision also
authorizes provider WebSocket ingress when the execution target requires
it. A persisted native run keeps its recovery transport after the
setting is disabled.

**Reason and benefit**

Paperclip Runner is one experimental capability. One opt-in removes an
invalid partial configuration and makes the rollout boundary easier to
understand.

**Breaking changes**

The Runner Preview Ingress card is removed. The old
`enableRunnerPreviewIngress` key remains accepted in stored settings and
managed configuration, but it has no server runtime effect. The public
adapter-utils input remains compatible through a deprecated alias.

**Additional context**

Refs: #12638, #12641, #12656.

## What Changed

- Removed the separate Runner Preview Ingress card from Experimental
Settings.
- Made resolved native runtime selection authorize required provider
ingress.
- Preserved ingress recovery for persisted native runs after the rollout
flag is disabled.
- Kept the old settings key and adapter-utils input as deprecated
compatibility contracts.
- Added focused UI, runtime policy, transport, stored-settings, and
managed-config regression tests.
- Updated deployment documentation and feature descriptions.

## Verification

- GitHub Actions will run typecheck, tests, build, policy, and browser
shards.
- Focused tests cover the single settings control, runtime
authorization, fail-closed transport selection, the deprecated public
input, and old managed configuration.
- No local tests were run, per the maintainer request to use GitHub
Actions for verification.
- `git diff --check` passes.

## Risks

Low to moderate risk. The effective ingress gate changes from a separate
stored flag to the resolved native run decision. Fresh runs still
require `enableNativeRunner`. Persisted native runs remain recoverable.
Legacy adapters never receive ingress authorization.

Dotta 1ed29abaa6 fix(runner): harden dormant provider boundaries (#12654)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Runner currently enables only the Codex production path.
> - The package also contains dormant OpenCode and ACPX provider
boundaries.
> - Dormant boundaries must still fail safe before later activation
work.
> - Provider children must not inherit unrelated server secrets or host
homes.
> - Permission defaults must require interaction instead of broad
automatic approval.
> - This pull request hardens those boundaries without activating them.
> - The benefit is a safer base for later provider-specific runnerd
work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

This improves the inactive OpenCode and ACPX provider boundary in
Paperclip Runner.

**Subsystem affected**

The adapter permission contract, Runner provider environment, and native
execution input builder.

**Current behavior**

Dormant OpenCode code can inherit the full server environment. Its
default permission mode allows operations. ACPX also defaults to broad
approval. The provider guard can accept inherited object property names.

**Proposed behavior**

Use exact provider identifiers. Use interactive defaults. Allow only
required OpenCode environment keys. Reject invalid proxy permission
modes.

**Reason and benefit**

This reduces accidental authority and secret exposure before future
provider activation.

**Breaking changes**

No production provider is activated. Codex runtime selection and Codex
credential-home discovery do not change. Dormant OpenCode and ACPX
callers that omit permission modes now receive safer defaults.

## What Changed

- Change dormant OpenCode and ACPX permission defaults to interactive
modes.
- Reject prototype property names as provider identifiers.
- Default dormant ACPX input to the qualified Codex agent profile.
- Add an explicit OpenCode runner environment allowlist.
- Exclude host homes, server credentials, database values, and Node
injection options.
- Add a fail-closed OpenCode proxy permission parser.
- Add focused tests for defaults, filtering, and invalid values.

## Verification

GitHub Actions must run:

- Adapter utility tests.
- Paperclip Runner tests, type checks, and build.
- Server native runtime tests.
- Repository test, type-check, build, policy, and security gates.

No local test command was run. The repository owner requested
GitHub-only verification.

## Risks

Future OpenCode credential providers must add required variables to the
allowlist through review. The safer defaults can pause dormant internal
scenarios that relied on implicit broad approval. Production Codex
behavior is unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with the GPT-5 agent model. The work used high reasoning,
repository inspection, tool use, and parallel security review.

Dotta 131f5c4065 feat(runner): add administration and observability (#12641)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Administrators need bounded controls for experimental native
execution.
> - The lower stack adds remote Codex execution and the task workspace.
> - Operators need to configure Codex safely and inspect provider
traces.
> - Unsupported providers must not appear as runnable choices.
> - This pull request adds Codex-only administration and observability.
> - The benefit is a default-off operational surface for production
diagnosis.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12640.
Refs #12616.
Refs #12352.

**Subsystem affected**

Agent configuration, instance experimental settings, run ledger,
provider trace inspector, and administrator actions.

**Problem or motivation**

The native runner lacks one safe operator surface for Codex permissions,
lifecycle, raw trace capture, and run inspection. The integration branch
also contains provider choices that the production backend cannot
execute yet.

**Proposed solution**

Expose only the qualified Codex controls. Keep Paperclip Developer Mode
and runner preview ingress off by default. Gate raw trace actions by
administrator access and existing trace authorization.

**Alternatives considered**

Exposing unfinished providers would create configurations that fail at
runtime. Always-on tracing would increase sensitive data and storage
risk.

**Roadmap alignment**

This work supports governed Cloud and Sandbox agents and production
diagnostics.

## Stack

- Base PR: #12640.
- Lower PRs: #12639 and #12638.
- This PR contains only its 54-file administration and observability
delta.
- This is the final feature PR in the Codex production stack.

## What Changed

- Added Codex-only Paperclip Runner permission and lifecycle controls.
- Added bounded warm idle configuration.
- Kept the provider field fixed to Codex.
- Added administrator-only one-run raw trace requests.
- Added a persistent future-run raw trace toggle.
- Added trace status, metadata, ledger, and canonical runner inspection.
- Added JSON-RPC request-origin grouping and finalization lineage.
- Restored the stateful PRP transcript parser and focused projection
tests required by trace inspection.
- Added default-off Paperclip Developer Mode.
- Added Honeycomb run links for authorized developer mode.
- Disabled the legacy operational skill for `paperclip_runner`.
- Did not expose OpenCode, ACPX, Pi, Claude Managed, or AWS runner
choices.
- Did not change migrations, workflows, dependencies, or
`pnpm-lock.yaml`.

## Verification

- GitHub Actions will run UI tests, server tests, repository typecheck,
build, browser tests, security, and policy gates.
- Tests cover Codex configuration defaults and bounds, administrator
trace actions, persistent settings, ledger inspection, trace lineage,
and Honeycomb links.
- Existing server trace authorization and retention tests remain the
backend authority.
- Local tests were not run. The requested verification policy uses
GitHub Actions for this series.
- `git diff --check runner/task-workspace-experience...HEAD` passes.
- The delta contains 54 files.

## Risks

- Raw provider traces can contain sensitive provider data.
- Existing server authorization controls access, reveal, download,
retention, and deletion.
- The UI gates trace actions by administrator access and developer mode.
- All new instance settings remain off by default.
- Fresh Paperclip Runner configuration remains Codex-only.
- Direct adapters and legacy task behavior do not change in this PR.

Dotta 0a422fda52 feat(runner): add remote execution substrate (#12638)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Runner gives native runs a durable and governed execution
path.
> - The current native path runs on the control-plane host.
> - Remote environments need an authenticated execution-target contract.
> - The contract must not change direct adapters or enable new runtimes
by default.
> - This pull request adds the remote execution substrate and Daytona
ingress.
> - The benefit is a bounded base for later remote runner transport
work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12616.
Refs #12352.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting. This change touches runner transport, server
orchestration, plugin contracts, and shared settings.

**Problem or motivation**

Native execution cannot resolve an authenticated runner ingress through
a remote environment. The server also lacks one provider-neutral
contract for remote execution targets.

**Proposed solution**

Add a default-off runner preview ingress capability. Add
transport-neutral runner connectivity. Add remote execution target and
lifecycle handling. Add a Daytona ingress implementation with redacted
credentials.

**Alternatives considered**

A provider-specific server path would duplicate orchestration and
authorization. A public endpoint without an environment contract would
weaken the trust boundary.

**Roadmap alignment**

This work supports the Cloud and Sandbox agents milestone. It also
supports self-healing runs and governed tool access.

## What Changed

- Added execution-target traits for local, SSH, and sandbox
environments.
- Added plugin RPC contracts for runner ingress endpoints.
- Added authenticated Daytona preview ingress.
- Added transport-neutral PRP outbound connections.
- Added remote runner artifact verification and fail-closed provider
selection.
- Added bounded native session resume, cancellation, and lifecycle
recovery.
- Preserved Codex-only selection for fresh experimental runner starts.
- Preserved all direct adapter execution and finalization paths.
- Removed stale Pi provider-pack requirements that security review
rejected.
- Kept the rollout controls off by default.
- Did not change pnpm-lock.yaml, Cargo, database migrations, or GitHub
workflows.

## Verification

- GitHub Actions will run the repository test, typecheck, build,
security, and policy gates.
- Focused tests cover ingress validation, redaction, execution targets,
remote lifecycle, cancellation, resume, and legacy adapter selection.
- Local tests were not run. The requested verification policy uses
GitHub Actions for this series.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` passes.
- The diff contains 52 files.

## Risks

- Remote execution crosses a trust boundary.
- The implementation validates target capabilities, artifact digests,
provider-pack pins, and connection metadata.
- The feature remains default-off.
- Fresh native selection remains Codex-only.
- Existing direct adapters remain on the legacy path.
- This PR does not yet make remote Codex runnable. The next PR adds the
Rust WSS and TLS transport.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with GPT-5.6. The work used high-reasoning agent mode,
repository tools, GitHub tools, and parallel code-audit agents.

Dotta 51ad751e0b feat(runner): integrate Codex native execution (#12616)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source control plane for teams of AI agents.
> - Agent runs currently use direct adapters and their established
finalization paths.
> - The new runner package needs one production integration before it
can execute a real provider through the server.
> - That integration must not change direct adapters or expose
unsupported providers.
> - The rollout must also preserve native runs that were already
recorded when the feature flag changes.
> - This pull request adds a default-off, Codex-only native execution
path and its authority boundary.
> - The benefit is a recoverable production vertical slice with explicit
compatibility guards.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting server orchestration and adapter selection.

**Problem or motivation**

The runner package exists, but the server cannot yet start and recover a
governed Codex run through it. A careless integration could also route
existing direct adapters into the native runtime or lose cancellation
and finalization state.

**Proposed solution**

Add a hidden `paperclip_runner` adapter for Codex. Keep it behind the
default-off instance flag. Bind native execution, resume, cancellation,
semantic tool authority, and finalization to the recorded company,
issue, run, and coordinator identities. Leave every direct adapter on
its existing path.

**Alternatives considered**

A multi-provider launch was rejected because only Codex has the complete
production bridge in this series. Replacing direct adapter execution was
rejected because the runner remains experimental.

**Roadmap alignment**

This work supports governed tool access, action attribution, and
self-healing runs. It keeps the integration narrow and default-off.

## What Changed

- Add the Codex-only native session executor and persisted resumption
path.
- Add run-scoped semantic tool projection, authorization, receipts, and
idempotency.
- Add audited native cancellation with durable issue and coordinator
binding.
- Add result fencing so a recorded result cannot reacquire the provider
and run twice.
- Reject fresh runner starts when the rollout flag is off while
preserving recorded native recovery.
- Keep direct adapters outside native status, cancellation, record
creation, and finalization.
- Add focused conformance, recovery, cancellation, status, portability,
and compatibility coverage.

## Verification

- GitHub Actions is the authoritative test environment for this large
stack.
- The PR policy and lightweight stack checks run while this is a middle
PR.
- The full required suite runs when this PR becomes the lowest unmerged
or top PR.
- Greptile will review this exact delta after the branch is pushed.

## Risks

- The main risk is routing a legacy adapter into native execution.
Runtime selection and heartbeat tests cover that boundary.
- The next risk is stale or cross-company cancellation. Durable binding
checks and transactional audit persistence cover it.
- The adapter remains hidden and default-off. Only Codex is admitted.
- There are no database migration, lockfile, or GitHub workflow changes
in this PR.

DottaandDev Agent 25cf079ec5 feat(runner): add Codex-native application integration (#12591)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runner package is useful only when the application can start,
observe, and recover a native Codex run safely.
> - Existing direct adapters must keep their current execution and
finalization paths.
> - The application boundary therefore needs additive persistence,
authorization, coordination, and recovery behind an explicit
experimental adapter.
> - This pull request adds that Codex-only boundary without activating
generalized providers, remote environments, or the later task/SDK
surfaces.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Shared contracts, database persistence, adapter utilities, server
native-runtime services, and the experimental Paperclip Runner adapter.

**Problem or motivation**

The already-landed runner package has a qualified Codex path, but the
application needs durable native-run state, guarded runtime selection,
authenticated coordination, tool security, finalization, and recovery
before the experimental adapter can be exercised safely.

**Proposed solution**

Add a Codex-only `paperclip_runner` application path behind the existing
default-off native-runner setting. Bind native state and coordination to
company/run identity, preserve persisted-run recovery, and leave every
direct adapter on its existing legacy execution path.

**Alternatives considered**

The earlier stack boundary introduced a generalized executor and
remote-environment lifecycle here. That made this PR depend on
implementations in higher PRs and changed reusable sandbox behavior
globally. Those pieces are now deferred together to #12592.

**Roadmap alignment**

ROADMAP.md does not list a conflicting native-runner integration
project. This change adds the application boundary for the existing
Runner architecture.

## What Changed

- Added native run/result/finalization/provider-trace persistence,
shared validators, and idempotent migration/replay coverage.
- Added guarded Codex-only runtime selection, authenticated PRP
coordination, recovery, finalization, and interaction services.
- Added run/company-bound tool-gateway authorization, credential
redaction, SSRF protections, and replay-safe behavior.
- Added the explicit `paperclip_runner` adapter behind the default-off
rollout setting.
- Preserved legacy answered-question wake projection and direct-adapter
execution/finalization paths.
- Hardened cancellation so only owned in-memory child processes are
signaled; persisted recycled PIDs/process groups are never trusted.
- Retained the narrow Claude ACPX isolated-context security follow-up
discovered after #12590.
- Deferred the generalized executor, provider ingress, remote lifecycle,
SDK/lab/eval work, release-process changes, and lockfile.

## Verification

- Changed-file delta against `master`: 133 files.
- GitHub Actions is the authoritative verification environment for this
PR.
- Full CI, security, and Greptile review will run on this lowest
unmerged stack PR.
- Local tests/build/typecheck were not run because this checkout is
resource constrained.
- Static diff/reference checks pass, and `pnpm-lock.yaml` is unchanged.

## Risks

- This touches central heartbeat and agent-route code, so legacy
compatibility is the primary risk.
- Runtime selection remains Codex-only and explicit; direct Codex,
Claude, OpenCode, process, HTTP, and plugin adapters remain on their
existing paths.
- Fresh native starts fail closed while the rollout flag is off;
persisted native records remain readable and recoverable.
- Cancellation, company/run binding, tool calls, status decisions, and
completion writes are guarded or replay-safe.

discuss it in #dev before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap with
planned core work may need to be redirected.

Dotta 7a3abb88a0 feat(runner): authorize server Codex tools (#12385)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The hidden native coordinator already computes a run-scoped semantic
tool projection.
> - The durable Codex backend now accepts and enforces that projection.
> - The server did not include the projection in its `run.prepare`
command.
> - Codex therefore received no production semantic tools even when the
server authorized them.
> - This pull request adds the deterministic wire projection and sends
it to runnerd.
> - The benefit is one fail-closed authorization catalog from the server
through Codex.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12384

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

This improves the existing flagged Paperclip Runner Codex path.

**Current behavior**

The server creates a run-scoped list of authorized read tools. It does
not pass that list to runnerd, so the production Codex session starts
with no tools.

**Proposed behavior**

The server maps the authorized definitions to the versioned runner
contract. It computes a cross-language catalog digest. It includes that
immutable contract in `run.prepare`.

**Reason and benefit**

Runnerd and the server now enforce the same catalog identity. Unknown,
duplicate, changed, or malformed tool contracts fail before Codex can
use them.

**Breaking changes**

None. Direct adapters are unchanged. A native run with an empty server
projection still starts with no dynamic tools.

## What Changed

- Add a deterministic semantic-definition to runner-authorization
projection.
- Match the Rust canonical digest with a shared test vector.
- Include the server coordinator projection in the native Codex
`run.prepare` command.
- Extend the native Codex vertical slice to require and execute a
semantic tool.
- Verify the production prepare payload in a host-independent server
test.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:typescript` (354
tests pass)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-codex-runner.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- The embedded-Postgres vertical slice is present for CI. This local
host reports that embedded Postgres is unavailable, so Vitest skips that
host-dependent test locally.
- Confirmed that the PR changes 7 files against
`runner-codex-durable-tools`.
- Confirmed that `pnpm-lock.yaml` is unchanged.

## Risks

The main risk is a catalog digest mismatch between TypeScript and Rust.
Both implementations use canonical JSON. They share the same fixed
digest vector. Runnerd also recomputes the digest and rejects a
mismatch.

The rollout flag and the existing native runtime selection rules remain
unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with GPT-5 and repository tool use.

Dotta bc9ba7cd26 feat(runner): project native runs into task threads (#12321)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The experimental Paperclip Runner can execute a guarded Codex run
and persist provider-neutral events.
> - The task page still reads direct-adapter transcripts and cannot
present those native events.
> - Structured runner questions must also use the existing task
interaction experience.
> - Runtime selection must use the persisted run mode, not an adapter
name or a current feature flag.
> - This pull request projects native events and questions into the
existing task thread.
> - Direct adapters keep their existing transcript, composer,
interaction, and finalization paths.
> - The benefit is a complete native Codex task thread without a
behavior change for existing adapters.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12202. This pull request replaces that stale implementation on
current `master`.

**What happened?**

The server persists native runner events and structured input requests.
The task page only consumes direct-adapter transcripts. A native run
therefore cannot present a complete transcript, usage, or question flow
through the normal task experience.

**Expected behavior**

Native runs project persisted provider-neutral events into the existing
task thread. Native structured questions use the existing interaction
card. Direct adapters retain their current behavior.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Enable the experimental runner.
2. Start a native Codex run that emits progress, usage, a structured
question, and a final reply.
3. Open the task page.
4. Observe that the direct-adapter transcript path cannot project the
native event records.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `67f9867bc`.

## What Changed

- Add the canonical structured-question validator and shared contract
exports.
- Materialize native input requests as existing task interactions.
- Validate native answers and deliver them through the durable
question-response receipt.
- Resume the original PRP request with an idempotent `request.resolve`
command.
- Project native messages, tool activity, cumulative usage, and final
replies into the existing transcript model.
- Propagate persisted `runtimeMode` to the task page and select native
handling only for `runtimeMode: "native"`.
- Expire pending interactions through the shared issue service on every
terminal transition, including decisions, stalled reviews, tree control,
and pipeline retry cleanup.
- Queue native run cancellation while a transaction is open and execute
it only after the owning transaction commits.
- Keep nonterminal and non-runner issue paths on their existing service
call shapes and behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed, including the
Rust runner release build and protocol/catalog drift gates.
- Focused native-thread and lifecycle suites — 18 files and 481 tests
passed during review.
- `issue-execution-policy-routes.test.ts` — 19/19 passed after the final
transactional-queue expectation update.
- `issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts` — 87/87 passed in the
final isolated compatibility rerun.
- GitHub Actions — policy, build, canary, typecheck/release registry, 5
serialized server shards, 8 general-test shards, 3 browser shards, and
both aggregate gates passed on `7793f3193`.
- Security — Snyk, Socket Project Report, Socket PR Alerts, and
Superagent passed.
- Greptile — 5/5 on `7793f3193`; all actionable review threads resolved.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
- Diff against `master`: 44 files.

## Compatibility Boundary

- Native transcript polling only runs when the persisted run reports
`runtimeMode: "native"`.
- Missing or legacy runtime modes continue through
`useLiveRunTranscripts`.
- Legacy questions keep the existing optional free-text choice.
- Native closed select sets can suppress that legacy fallback.
- Terminal cleanup uses the same issue service for native and legacy
interactions; only a bound native question schedules a native run
cancellation.
- Native cancellation happens after transaction commit, so failed or
rolled-back writes do not cancel a still-valid run.
- The durable delivery service checks the original native request before
it considers a continuation run.
- This pull request adds no migration, dependency, workflow, manifest,
or lockfile change.

## Risks

The main risk is routing a direct-adapter task through native handling
or changing terminal issue behavior. The implementation selects the
native path only from persisted runtime facts, retains the existing
nonterminal call shape, and schedules native cancellation only for a
validated bound native question after commit. Focused and
repository-wide tests cover both paths. Native requests remain bound to
the company, issue, run, and agent; answers are validated, durable, and
idempotent across reconnects.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 family. The client does not expose the exact
deployment ID or context window. Agentic reasoning, tool use, and code
execution were enabled.

Dotta 397de98193 feat(runner): add flagged Codex execution adapter (#12188)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Paperclip Runner now has protocol, provider, tool, package,
persistence, and hidden server boundaries.
> - The server still cannot select that path for a real agent heartbeat.
> - A new runtime must not change any existing direct adapter.
> - An experimental runtime must fail closed when its rollout flag is
off.
> - This pull request adds one guarded Codex vertical slice through
runnerd.
> - The benefit is a production-built runner path that users cannot
start by default.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #11962

Refs #12111

Refs #12169

Refs #12176

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting. The change affects the runner package, server
orchestration, shared settings, and adapter configuration UI.

**Problem or motivation**

The hidden PRP coordinator cannot execute a real heartbeat. The
application also needs an explicit rollout boundary before it can expose
the experimental runner. Existing direct adapters must keep their
current execution and finalization behavior.

**Proposed solution**

Add `paperclip_runner` as a Codex-only adapter behind the default-off
`enableNativeRunner` instance flag. Select the native runtime only for
that adapter. Persist the run binding before runnerd starts. Wait for
the durable PRP result and terminal event. Resume the real Codex
provider thread on later heartbeats. Keep persisted native runs readable
and recoverable after the flag changes.

**Alternatives considered**

The server could route `codex_local` through runnerd. That option would
change an existing adapter and weaken rollback safety. The server could
expose all providers now. That option would add unreviewed provider
behavior. The build could depend on a prebuilt runner binary. That
option would make source builds architecture-dependent and difficult to
verify.

**Roadmap alignment**

This work supports the shipped enforced-outcomes, governed-tool, and
self-healing-run milestones. It does not add a new roadmap surface. It
is the guarded execution step after the merged hidden runner boundaries.

**Additional context**

This is the next replacement for the closed large runner pull request.
Task-thread presentation remains a separate follow-up so this change can
preserve the current direct-adapter UI.

## What Changed

- Add `paperclip_runner` as an explicit Codex-only adapter.
- Add the default-off `enableNativeRunner` instance flag.
- Reject fresh create, hire, import, switch, and execution requests
while the flag is off.
- Allow edits to persisted runner agents while the flag is off.
- Recover an already persisted native run even after the flag is
disabled.
- Keep every built-in direct adapter on its existing runtime path.
- Persist an immutable native run binding and revisioned completion
contract before runnerd starts.
- Execute server to PRP to runnerd to Codex to server through the hidden
coordinator.
- Validate the durable result against the terminal event and exact
completion criteria before finalization.
- Preserve the Codex provider thread ID and use `thread/resume` on the
next heartbeat.
- Strip unsupported Codex configuration fields from the experimental
adapter.
- Build a target-native release runner binary from source and vendor it
into the server distribution.
- Install Rust only in the Docker build stage. Do not add a workflow or
lockfile change.
- Stop the runner process group on completion, cancellation, and forced
shutdown.

## Verification

- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all`. All 69
TypeScript tests and 58 Rust tests pass. Protocol, conformance, replay,
formatting, and generated-file checks pass.
- Run the 12 focused adapter, settings, runtime-selection, coordinator,
direct-isolation, and real Codex integration test files. All 186 tests
pass.
- The real integration test uses PostgreSQL, HTTP, WebSocket, runnerd,
and a fake Codex app server. It proves one `thread/start` followed by
one `thread/resume`.
- Run `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Run `pnpm build`.
- Run `pnpm check:token-gates`.
- Build the Docker `build` target from a clean context. Confirm that the
server distribution contains an executable `paperclip-runnerd` built
with Debian Rust 1.85.
- Start the server through the source-mode tsx entry point with the
package `dist` directory absent. Confirm the vendor shim resolves source
exports and the server boots.
- Run `pnpm test:run` twice. On this macOS host, 405 files pass and 1
file skips. Eight untouched workspace and loopback tests fail because
macOS resolves `/tmp` and `/var` through `/private` and because
PID-derived test ports exceed 65535. Linux CI must pass the full suite.
- Confirm that the diff contains 52 files. Confirm that it contains no
`.github` or `pnpm-lock.yaml` change.

## Risks

- The feature flag is off by default. A fresh native start fails with a
stable error while the flag is off.
- A persisted native run remains recoverable after the flag changes.
This prevents rollout changes from corrupting recorded work.
- Only local Codex execution is accepted. Other providers and remote
work modes fail closed.
- Existing direct adapters do not start runnerd, create native rows, use
native status arbitration, or enter native finalization.
- The runner receives its one-use bootstrap ticket through the child
environment. The server does not put the ticket in command arguments or
logs.
- The server validates the company, task, agent, run, runner, session,
completion contract, result, and terminal binding before it accepts
completion.
- The build compiles a target-native Rust binary. Cross-platform release
packaging remains a later concern. Source builds and Docker builds
compile for their current target.
- Docker needs enough build memory for the existing server TypeScript
compile. The Docker build stage sets a 4 GB V8 heap limit.

Dotta 9964b034bb feat(runner): add hidden server PRP coordinator (#12176)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Paperclip Runner needs a narrow server trust boundary before an
adapter can start it.
> - The package has durable runner transport, but the server does not
host or authorize that transport.
> - Native persistence exists, but no writer connects PRP events to
those records.
> - A direct adapter must not enter this path by accident.
> - This pull request adds a hidden, run-bound PRP server coordinator.
> - The benefit is a recoverable server boundary that remains
unavailable to normal execution.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #11962

Refs #12129

Refs #12169

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting. The change affects the runner package and server
orchestration.

**Problem or motivation**

The server cannot authenticate runnerd, commit PRP events before ACK,
authorize semantic tools, or enter native finalization from a durable
runner result. The application must have this hidden boundary before a
guarded adapter can use the runner.

**Proposed solution**

Add an authenticated PRP WebSocket authority and register it only for
one exact persisted native Codex run. Bind each connection and event to
the company, issue, agent, run, runner, session, turn, item, and
verified runner identity. Commit each event before its cumulative ACK.
Project only authorized same-task read tools. Rebuild the accepted
result and finalization record from durable result and terminal events.

**Alternatives considered**

The server could expose a broad runner API key or route semantic calls
through existing adapter endpoints. Those options grant too much
authority and weaken replay recovery. The server could also add the
user-facing adapter in this pull request. That option would mix rollout
selection with the transport trust boundary and make legacy
compatibility harder to review.

**Roadmap alignment**

This work supports the shipped enforced-outcomes, governed-tool, and
self-healing-run milestones. It does not add a new roadmap surface.

## What Changed

- Add the durable PRP server authority with one-use bootstrap tickets,
reconnect leases, encrypted frames, bounded state, cumulative ACKs, and
idempotent commands.
- Add `/api/runner/v1/connect/:runId`. Derive its `ws://` or `wss://`
URL from the configured Paperclip API URL.
- Register one authority only after the coordinator verifies the
complete native Codex run binding.
- Commit validated PRP events to `heartbeat_run_events` before ACK.
Reject source gaps and conflicting replays.
- Rebuild accepted results and finalization records from durable result
and terminal events. Enforce finalization owner leases and retry times.
- Project five same-task read operations. Recheck run, agent, task, and
company authority for each call.
- Keep the route hidden. No adapter selects this coordinator, and no
code starts runnerd.
- Vendor the compiled runner TypeScript runtime into the server package
while keeping the workspace package development-only for the server.
- Document the package, database writer, run-log payload, and credential
exclusions.

## Verification

- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all`. All
TypeScript protocol checks and 69 Vitest tests pass, including
commit-before-ACK crash recovery. All 43 Rust unit tests and 13 Rust
integration tests pass. Conformance and replay parity pass.
- Run the focused server WebSocket, coordinator, package-build, and
startup-wiring suites. All 26 tests pass, including a clean-checkout
reproduction with the runner `dist` directory absent.
- Run `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Run `pnpm test:run`.
- Run `pnpm build`.
- Confirm that the diff contains 19 files. Confirm that it contains no
workflow or `pnpm-lock.yaml` change.

## Risks

- The server installs the WebSocket route at startup. An unregistered or
malformed run path fails closed and creates no native record.
- Bootstrap tickets are one use. The private state directory uses mode
`0700`, and the state file uses mode `0600`. The file stores derived
authentication verifiers and never stores raw tickets or lease tokens.
- The journal has explicit frame, command, event-window, and file-size
bounds. A bound violation closes the runner connection or rejects the
command.
- A runner event reaches the database before its ACK. A crash between
event commit and ACK causes a byte-equivalent replay, not a second
logical effect.
- The coordinator accepts only an existing queued or running native
Codex row with exact company, task, agent, runner, session, and
completion-contract ownership.
- Existing direct adapters do not call this service. They keep their
current execution, transcript, result, and finalization paths.
- The server has no production dependency on the private runner package.
Its build copies the compiled runtime into `server/dist`; the workspace
link is development-only. This adds no external package and does not
change the lockfile.
