DottaandPaperclip 5e4cc01073 feat(workspaces): keep remote files off the webserver disk (#18403)
Keep native sandbox workspace files independent of the webserver disk. Use encrypted saved versions and Postgres ownership so a replacement server can recover files and continue work. Enable the path by default for new eligible workspaces when durable storage is configured.

Preserve explicit opt-outs and existing host workspaces. Include safe snapshot repair, Files access, import, migration and retention. Bound saved-Files resources, preserve imported Git recovery, reject unfinished Git operations, publish immutable concurrent captures, and verify permanent object-version deletion.

Validated 471 targeted local controls, build/typechecks, all 40 CI partitions, fresh Greptile 5/5 and security review. The PR records original failed attempts and scoped retries.

DottaandPaperclip 91fdf02e95 perf(tasks): defer completed transcripts on compact opens (#18461)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task conversations must show the saved instruction and recent
replies quickly.
> - Compact task reads already limit the saved message window.
> - The conversation still waits for completed run transcripts even when
a saved reply contains the result.
> - Removing that wait alone can insert activity after the reader starts
reading.
> - This pull request defers that output until the reader opens history
and keeps required output in the initial reveal.
> - The benefit is a useful conversation sooner, with a stable first
layout and a working composer.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17593, #18092, #18312, #18358, #18422.

**What happened?**

Opening a task with a long saved investigation can wait for native
events or legacy logs before showing its existing replies. A slow
transcript request can hold the conversation behind the loading screen
until the 15-second fallback.

**Expected behavior**

Show the bounded saved conversation without reading completed output
that already has a usable saved reply. Keep that output available
through the existing history controls.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a task with many completed runs and long saved agent replies.
2. Delay its run events and logs.
3. Open the compact task directly. Before this change, the transcript
read blocks the saved replies and composer.

## What Changed

- Defer completed successful run transcripts on compact task opens when
a usable saved reply is present. Load that output through the existing
history controls.
- Keep required output on the initial path: live and failed runs,
yielded runs, pending interactions, placeholder/progress-only replies,
explicit anchors, chats, and full history. Retain output already
selected during this visit when its run completes.
- Keep saved plans visible when their owning run output is deferred or
still loading.
- Keep the same composer and draft through history expansion. Offer
**More run output** when a single saved run has deferred output.
- Position same-task comment links after their target arrives. Wait only
for a missing target, with a 15-second limit. Unrelated stalled metadata
cannot block an available target after the reveal deadline.
- Preserve the reading anchor when a queued scroll event arrives during
a properties-pane width transition.
- Add a 200-reply/200-run PostgreSQL browser fixture with a saved plan,
covering both task views on desktop and mobile. Correct stale browser
setup for current routes and the shared mobile scroller.
- Remove a random company-prefix collision in the isolated privacy test
fixture that failed during CI.

## Verification

- Final revision `fba3f2fcbb`: 386 focused thread/scroller unit cases
and all 32 production-browser journeys passed. The browser cases cover
both task views on desktop/mobile, saved plans, delayed transcripts,
history, comment links, Back, drafts, retry, avatar continuity, media
and pane resizing. The 25 privacy fixture cases also passed against
PostgreSQL.
- Workspace typecheck and full build passed with Node 24. A broader
local UI run passed 10,220 cases across 849 files before the final
navigation/plan review fixes; the changed components were then rechecked
in the 386-case focused run.
- Five alternating pairs compared master `12b0cc6304` with this
revision, using 200 long saved replies and 200 completed native runs.
Both production UI builds used the same loopback API/database, Chromium
151.0.7922.34, 1440 × 900, fresh browser contexts, service workers
blocked, no CPU throttle, and a controlled 3-second events/log delay.
Builds and other suites were stopped during measurement. No page errors
occurred.

| Useful conversation + editable composer | Baseline median (range) |
Fixed median (range) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Cold direct open | 3.570s (3.538–3.616s) | 1.056s (1.022–1.141s) |
| Task-list navigation | 3.373s (3.342–3.394s) | 0.899s (0.885–0.915s) |
| Back | 22ms (22–25ms) | 25ms (25–28ms) |

- Median paired savings: 2.519s cold, 2.470s from the list.
Completed-output requests: two per baseline sample, zero per fixed
sample. Recent-comments API control medians were 13.6ms for both, with
ranges 12.1–18.7ms and 11.6–50.8ms. No Back improvement is claimed; an
earlier revision's run also included one 1-second Back outlier, retained
in the local evidence.
- The full local default test command did **not** pass: it stopped on
the existing chat test line-selection error. After restoring embedded
PostgreSQL library symlinks omitted by an install with scripts disabled,
Node 24 passed 672 cases in the first two chat shards, then failed to
select the third. This is separate from the passing focused suites and
remote CI.
- Earlier CI failures were addressed: the privacy prefix collision is
fixed; the delegated task-completion reply case passed locally after
merging master's reply-recovery fix (#18465). Browser fixture
corrections retain the original behavior assertions. Red tests
reproduced the loading, navigation, resize and saved-plan regressions
before their fixes.
- Map, module-boundary, token-gate and added-line token checks passed.
The full-tree token scan still finds pre-existing active-username
fixtures; this PR adds zero forbidden token lines.
- Greptile: **5/5**, final revision, all four review threads resolved.
The final-revision PR CI workflow passed, including build, typecheck,
all server/chat/workspace test shards, all eight E2E shards, and every
Runner lane. GitHub reports 55 successful checks and three skipped
checks. The separate **Paperclip Review** check remains queued with
**Waiting for the assigned agent**; it has not produced an assessment
and has not been bypassed. The branch has no merge conflicts.

## Risks

- The default compact task omits completed transcript details when the
saved result is sufficient. The reader must open history to inspect
them.
- Required structural data remains inside the initial reveal boundary.
Slow server responses for that data remain visible latency.
- Link positioning falls back after 15 seconds when its target never
arrives. The conversation remains readable.
- The measurements use a controlled local delay. They do not establish a
deployed staging speedup.
- No API, schema, authorization, or migration changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with tool use and code execution.

DottaandPaperclip e40de0c9e8 perf(ci): refresh test weights and narrow graph dependencies (#18464)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Contributors need fast, reliable CI feedback.
> - Diff-aware CI selects test files and partitions them into runner
jobs.
> - Stale cost estimates put several slow suites on the same runner.
Broad imports also couple small tests to large modules.
> - This PR refreshes test costs, runs independent graph discovery in
parallel, and narrows three dependency boundaries.
> - Selection safeguards and CODEOWNER-only AWS routing stay in force.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18398. This follows the audit of [PR #18427's verification
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41169978784).

The audit found 403 selected general-server files without timing
weights. Three suites measured at 232s, 122s and 116s shared one shard
because each received a roughly 2s fallback weight. Local graph
discovery across four projects took 43.7s serially and 21.7s with two
workers. A reverse-order repeat took 37.7s serially and 22.6s with two
workers. Both comparisons produced identical selection results. This is
a local measurement, not a claim about production CI speed.

## What Changed

- Refresh general-server costs for 1,285 of 1,309 current files and
serialized costs for all 163 files from two successful protected-master
Cloud readiness runs. Retain prior costs for unmeasured files, including
dedicated chat and native-runner suites.
- Record passing server file costs, including collection, setup and
environment preparation. A weekly hosted workflow validates trusted
source runs and opens a timing-only PR. It tests shard coverage, pauses
while a refresh PR is open, and never merges automatically.
- Discover at most two project graphs concurrently in isolated,
heap-limited Node processes. Cache repeated inventory reads within one
selection. Worker errors and timeouts retain the full task plan.
- Fetch only the merge commit and parents for the selector. A real
shallow-clone regression proves the complete diff still includes more
than 300 files, renames and deletions.
- Share the identical log viewer and run details between both
AgentDetail pages. The viewer test imports the shared implementation and
runs each of its 13 distinct cases once.
- Extract the pure API error class while preserving the API client's
public exports. Import delivery work signals through their existing
narrow DB export.

## Verification

- PASS: `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`.
- PASS: 284 CI selection, timing, shallow-diff, sharding and routing
tests.
- PASS: 74 further cache, routing and graph-proof tests.
- PASS: 94 targeted UI assertions across the viewer, run invocation, API
errors/client and progress helpers. All 76 assertions in the 12 server
suites made independently selectable also pass.
- PASS: `pnpm check:token-gates`, module-boundary checks, YAML parsing
and `git diff --check`.
- PASS: [Full PR CI and required `ci / verify`
aggregate](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41206683345),
including all 12 general-server shards, all nine serialized shards,
workspace groups, chat suites, Runner lanes and build checks.
- PASS: [GitHub hosted real-workspace selector and cache/routing
qualification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41206683205).
- PASS: Both Greptile and Paperclip reviews are 5/5 with no actionable
findings or inline comments on `7dc65c51b8`. The PR has no merge
conflicts.
- PASS: The production refresh parser accepted all 107 structured
file-cost records from a real successful server CI job, including
setup/loading cost.
- Local `pnpm test:run` completed all six chat shards successfully. The
duplicate monolithic local run was stopped after the complete remote
suite passed; it was not completed locally.

The focused log-viewer command improved from 18.84s (26 duplicate
variant cases) to 8.49s (all 13 distinct behavior cases). The dependency
audit confirms 12 server files and the API-error test no longer need
conservative always-run retention. Repartitioning the audited PR with
the new costs changes the slowest shard from 810s to 591s of summed
historical test execution (1,124 of 1,142 files measured). This is a
workload simulation, not measured new CI wall time.

## Risks

- Two graph processes use more peak memory. Each has a 2 GiB heap limit
and a three-minute timeout. Any failure preserves the original task
plan. Real workspace qualification runs in GitHub CI.
- Historical logs contain test/hook costs only. New reporter records add
loading/setup costs after merge. The manifests identify measurement
coverage and source runs. These weights change placement, never
permission to skip tests.
- Runner load adds timing noise. The refresh uses medians and requires
at least 90% measurement coverage in each lane.
- GitHub may require approval to run checks on a PR created with
`GITHUB_TOKEN`. Refreshes remain reviewable and do not merge themselves.
- The shared viewer is a mechanical extraction. Both pages retain their
existing exports, and the behavior assertions remain covered. AWS runner
authorization is unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with repository inspection, reasoning, code
execution and GitHub tools. The exact deployment ID and context-window
size were not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip b7f1c3769c feat(native): record verified provider-pack session admission (#18469)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote native sessions can use an installed pack or a retained
earlier pack.
> - The current app revision does not identify the pack that a session
admitted.
> - Core already verifies the selected pack and binds its launch
artifacts.
> - Normal run records lack a closed receipt for that admitted
selection.
> - This pull request records that receipt after session admission and
attachment.
> - Operators can compare the actual Core admission identity with their
expected pack.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17749 for protected provider-pack selection and #18343 for
retained controller recovery. The related OpenCode producer repair is
#18456. Those changes do not publish the closed run receipt added here.
A search found no existing `nativeProviderPackAdmission` PR.

**What happened?**

Core can admit a compatible installed provider pack with a source
revision that differs from the current app. A retained session can also
keep its original pack. The normal run record does not show the admitted
pack digest, proxy digest, and source revision. An expected launch path
or current app revision cannot fill that evidence gap.

**Expected behavior**

The run has a closed, server-owned receipt after actual session
admission and attachment. The first receipt remains immutable history. A
separate current-proof state verifies only the actual current admission
epoch. Retained recovery needs positive original provenance, and missing
legacy evidence stays unknown.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Select and verify an installed pack whose digest differs from the
current app pack.
2. Open the native session successfully.
3. Inspect the normal run profile for a bound admission receipt.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The original selected base was
`8bcc5a01edd5d87540401521e6f30d3df43e1848`. The branch now includes
exact actual prerequisite parent
`3ee4c5b6138da82d0b1f51aa010540561bf43c22`; the PR diff against it is
the five receipt, executor, test and documentation files.

**Deployment mode**

Core remote native execution with provider-pack selection and retained
session attachment.

## What Changed

- Retain the verified selected pack identity only after a backend
returns the matching admitted session.
- Publish `runnerProfileJson.nativeProviderPackAdmission` from the
session callback after attachment succeeds.
- Mark the receipt with `stage: session_admitted` and `authority:
core_verified_selection`.
- Store bound company, agent, run, session, runner, logical
`runnerEnvironmentLeaseId`, pack digest, OpenCode proxy digest, and
source revision fields. Retained attachments identify
`inheritedFromRunId`. The logical Runner scope is distinct from the
physical environment lease.
- Lock the current coordinator claim before the profile write. Check
owner, attempt, generation, controller boot, lease expiry, phase, and
absence of an accepted result. Merge JSON fields without replacing other
profile data.
- Restore retained metadata only from the exact prior closed Core
receipt, positively verified prior state and matching retained binding.
Capture same-run prior provenance from the locked claim row before
invalidation; cross-run recovery reads only the exact source. Legacy
absence remains unknown while recovery continues.
- Preserve the first receipt as history. Atomically mark a new opaque
admission epoch pending in the existing mandatory claim transaction.
Publish current verification only for the matching claim and epoch after
actual attachment; changed or unsupported admission becomes unknown
without blocking authorized execution.
- Preserve synchronous session publication and quarantine ordering
before the best-effort receipt write. Fresh replacement selects its
newly verified pack; a captured retained-process flag cannot relabel the
replacement with an older pack. Preserve the existing private pack
authority even when a local dirty revision is ineligible for the closed
receipt.
- Add focused admission, recovery, identity, PostgreSQL ownership, lock,
and JSON-preservation tests. Document the receipt contract.

## Verification

- RED: the actual managed-backend path verified and admitted an
installed pack but had no closed metadata. Failed open published no
evidence. Additional controls fail when retained recovery invents
missing history or dirty-revision eligibility gates the existing private
authority.
- RED calibration: removing mandatory pending invalidation fails the
actual pre-admission control; reusing the retained flag for fresh
replacement falsely restores the old pack. Removing the epoch fence
fails the real PostgreSQL stale-callback case; reintroducing a
receipt-specific execution error fails both authorized
Runner/logical-lease replacement controls.
- GREEN: 49 focused Core tests, all 33 admission identity/transaction
tests (20 pure and 13 PostgreSQL), and all 23 existing private-authority
tests passed on exact integrated head
`165a9096cf3e0d34d2db1e6b52960ad4ac0ad132`. No all-skipped run is
counted.
- Final test-only head `11ac34baf00552a5d322b5f5f1a8e491859cacec` adds
the positive executor-callback SQL-writer wiring control, exact
session/identity/claim/epoch assertions, profile preservation, and
null-session zero-write check. Removing only the production writer call
makes it fail on a missing receipt. All70 focused identity/Core tests
pass with this closure; production code, the13 PostgreSQL tests and
the23 private-authority tests are byte-identical to the qualified165
source (106 distinct passing controls across the combined proof).
- The PostgreSQL tests used an owned loopback-only cached Postgres 17
container with the supported `PAPERCLIP_TEST_POSTGRES_ADMIN_URL` helper
and aliases to current DB/shared source. The container was removed
afterward. They cover immutable history, JSON preservation, stale claims
and epochs, expired leases, terminal runs, changed/unsupported
replacements, and a failed write retaining pending proof.
- Historical pushed `f7f12fe` CI executed all 24 earlier admission
tests, including nine PostgreSQL cases, in server5. Its warm-quarantine
failure exposed the new hook-ordering issue fixed here. The same run
also encountered a six-character UUID fixture-prefix collision and the
independently repaired cached issue-link browser selector; those
historical failures are not claimed as green.
- Node 24.22.2 and Vitest 5.0.3. The credential-free normal QA runtime
import preflight passes with networking disabled. Map contracts, token
gates and `git diff --check` pass.
- Local TypeScript validation still sees stale borrowed Runner/shared
declaration mismatches outside the changed ranges. No diagnostics remain
in the new helper or changed test/hook ranges; clean current-head CI is
required.
- Repository-wide typecheck, full tests and build were not completed
locally. A full local executor attempt reached this host's unsupported
native PostgreSQL listener and was interrupted; its result is not
counted. Canonical run `41214512239`, attempt 2, is successful on exact
final head `11ac34baf00552a5d322b5f5f1a8e491859cacec`. All 59 checks are
terminal: 55 success, 3 skipped and 1 neutral; none failed or pending.
The actual Linux suites execute all 33 admission tests (including 13
PostgreSQL cases) and all 1,022 executor tests successfully. The
[original five failures and bounded unchanged-source
controls](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18469#issuecomment-6545593767)
remain preserved. One failed-only request was made; GitHub expanded the
reusable workflow call and dependents. No second request was made. Fresh
exact-head Greptile review is 5/5, all review threads are resolved, and
the PR is mergeable.
- These local results claim no live provider admission, rollout or
recovery.

## Risks

- The authority is Core's verified selection plus successful session
admission. It is not an independent provider statement or continuous
runtime measurement.
- Receipt fields cannot grant execution or replace the existing
provider, process, lease, workspace, or recovery checks.
- Legacy missing receipts and unavailable database reads remain unknown.
The current release cannot label an older admitted pack.
- The closed receipt requires a clean, 40-character hexadecimal source
revision. Verified local `-dirty` packs still execute and retain their
existing private recovery authority; their closed admission proof stays
`unknown`, so it cannot certify an immutable source revision.
- The first receipt is historical. Consumers must require current state
`verified`; pending or unknown cannot certify the current pack. Changed
Runner scope or pack evidence does not add execution policy.
- A receipt save failure leaves the atomically invalidated state
pending. The existing artifact authority, cancellation, workspace and
process checks remain responsible for execution safety.
- The receipt adds no manifest, environment, credential, or filesystem
path to the run record.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, code editing, and tool
use. The session does not expose an exact model build ID or
context-window capacity.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 51ea624344 fix(server): reject a native run's own task status change (#18411)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native runs (the Paperclip Runner) report their outcome with
`paperclip_finish` or `paperclip_block`, and the status arbiter then
sets the task status
> - Every runner tool, `paperclip_finish` included, requires that the
task's `executionRunId` is the current run
> - When the run sends its own status change through `PATCH
/api/issues/{id}` (for example with `call_api`), the issue update clears
`executionRunId` and `checkoutRunId`, so the run removes its own
execution lock
> - After that, every tool call fails, the run cannot report, same-run
recovery spends its retries, and the task goes to `blocked`
> - This pull request rejects that status change with a 409 before it
commits, and the message tells the run to report with `paperclip_finish`
or `paperclip_block`
> - The benefit is that the run corrects itself in the same turn, and
the task does not get stuck

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. This is the bug description.

**What happened?**

An agent on the Paperclip Runner followed task instructions that said
"set the task to `in_review` and keep it assigned to yourself" while it
waited on a scheduled monitor. It sent `call_api` with `PATCH
/api/issues/{id}` and `{ "status": "in_review" }`. The server applied
the change and cleared the execution lock. Then:

1. `get_task`, `set_task_monitor`, and `paperclip_finish` all failed the
run binding check. The provider saw only "Paperclip semantic operation
failed", or the monitor-wait message from `paperclip_finish`.
2. The `call_api` receipt for the PATCH showed `status: null, outcome:
unknown`, because the authority check after the response failed when the
lock was gone.
3. The session ended with no semantic result. Exact-checkpoint resume
ran out of retries (`native_session_retry_exhausted`), and recovery
would not replay the run because the mutation outcome was unknown. The
task went to `blocked`.

This occurred on each check where the agent tried the status change.
Runs that did not try it completed normally.

**Expected behavior**

A native run that holds the task's execution lock cannot remove its own
lock. It gets a clear, actionable error and reports its outcome through
`paperclip_finish` or `paperclip_block`.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Assign a task to an agent that uses the Paperclip Runner (native
runtime).
2. While the run executes, have it send `call_api` with `PATCH
/api/issues/{id}` and `{ "status": "in_review" }` for its own task.
3. Look at the next tool calls of the run. They fail, `paperclip_finish`
cannot complete, and recovery blocks the task.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at 493e229d93.

## What Changed

- `server/src/routes/issues.ts`: add
`assertNativeRunKeepsOwnExecutionLock` to `PATCH /issues/:id`. The guard
returns 409 `native_run_status_reported_by_finish` when all of these are
true:
- the actor is the assigned agent, and its run is the task's execution
or checkout run
  - the run is `native` and `running`
  - the request changes the status and keeps the assignment
  - the task is not a conversation
- The 409 message names `paperclip_finish` (`needs_review`, `done`, or
`yielded` with a `monitor` continuation) and `paperclip_block`.
`call_api` returns HTTP denials as data, so the provider can read the
message.
- Conversation tasks are out of scope. A conversation turn settles from
its final reply (`nativeConversationReplyResult`), not from a runner
tool. So a reply that moves its conversation to `in_review` still
settles, and that contract stays.
- When the request also carries blockers, the guard first runs
`assertOnboardingFirstTaskDependenciesAllowed`. A blocker that the
dependency rules reject keeps its specific 400. Every other case gets
the 409, including `{ "status": "todo", "blockedByIssueIds": [] }`.
- `server/src/__tests__/issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts`:
add 14 cases. They cover rejection for `in_review`, `done`, and
`blocked` (also with an explicit self-assignment, an empty blocker list,
and a real blocker), and the onboarding 400 that wins over the 409.
Pass-through cases assert a 200, the patched status, and one update for:
other field edits, legacy runs, native runs without the lock, stopped
runs, handoffs to a human (after a confirmed stop), conversation
replies, and board users.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts`
passes (193 tests).
- With the guard disabled, the 4 rejection cases fail. With the `native`
runtime condition removed, the legacy pass-through case fails. The tests
pin both sides.
- `chat-project-tools` and `onboarding-first-task-admission` pass (74
tests). These are the integration suites that caught the first version
of the guard in CI.
- `npx vitest run` on `issue-queued-comments-routes`,
`task-workspace-binding`, and `issue-recovery-actions` together with the
ownership suite passes (455 tests).
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` is clean after `pnpm
--filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner build`.

## Risks

- Behavior changes only for native runs that change the status of the
task whose execution lock they hold. That change always stranded the run
before this PR, so no working flow depends on it.
- Legacy adapters, board users, agent handoffs or reassignments, and
conversation tasks do not change.
- Other validation errors that run later (in the service update) are
replaced by the 409 for these requests. Each request is still rejected,
and the 409 points the run to `paperclip_finish` or `paperclip_block`.
The onboarding parent-blocker error keeps its 400, because the guard
runs that check first.
- If a request names the current assignee with a reference that is not
its id, the guard does not apply, and the request follows the earlier
rules.
- No migration.

Related gaps this PR does not change:
- The authority check after the response turns a committed mutation into
`outcome: unknown`.
- The runner hides tool binding errors as "Paperclip semantic operation
failed".
- The `paperclip_finish` monitor-wait error does not say that the run
lost its lock.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, in Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edits, test runs). It did the root-cause analysis
from run events and the activity log, wrote the code and tests, and ran
local verification.

Dotta 12b0cc6304 fix(chat): recover committed native Agent Chat replies (#18465)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and keeps its results available to
users.
> - Agent Chat needs a visible reply before the conversation can wait
for more input.
> - Native result commitment and reply presentation are separate
obligations.
> - A completed conversation can retain a valid final message without a
saved reply.
> - Existing reply recovery excludes these completed conversation turns.
> - This pull request repairs that persistence gap through the existing
recovery worker.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native Agent Chat turn completed successfully and saved its workspace.
Its accepted result and final assistant message were durable, but no
reply appeared in the conversation. The chat stayed active. The
deployment hiring journey in #18351 then reached its deadline while
waiting for the first reply.

**Expected behavior**

Recover the exact accepted turn's final reply once, then use normal
conversation settlement. Keep later user input active. Do not run the
agent again or replace a selected or deleted reply.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create an active conversation with one admitted native turn.
2. Commit an accepted DONE result and a final-channel assistant message
for that exact run, session and turn.
3. Finish workspace finalization before live heartbeat reply
presentation. Leave no saved reply.
4. Run normal response recovery. Before this fix it finds no
conversation candidate and leaves the chat active.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced with actual services at frozen master
`8bcc5a01edd5d87540401521e6f30d3df43e1848`. The production predicate
also exists in the deployed revision that exposed the failure.

Related work: #18351. The broader receipt and recovery work in #18118
and #18409 does not touch these source files.

## What Changed

- Discover unanswered committed Agent Chat turns through the existing
native response presentation worker.
- Recheck company, agent, responsible user, current execution and
conversation generation under the normal transaction locks.
- Require the accepted result digest and an exact final message from the
same native run, session and accepted turn. Keep external publication
authority separate.
- Commit the reply and presentation receipt before normal conversation
settlement. Later input stays active. Recovery does not repeat agent
work.
- Preserve skip decisions and selected or deleted replies. Add database
controls for foreign identity, stale sessions, partial commitment,
duplicates and ordinary internal task behavior.
- Document the recovery boundary in the developer guide.

## Verification

- Real-service RED/GREEN uses all 418 canonical migrations in isolated
PGlite and the exact new regression fixture. Before the fix: zero
candidates, no reply, recovery returns false and the chat stays active.
After the fix: one candidate, one exact reply, recovery returns true and
the chat waits. A repeat returns false and creates no second reply.
- All 20 canonical regression cases pass locally through a fixture-only
PGlite bridge. Only local database provisioning and `createDb` selection
differ from the normal embedded PostgreSQL fixture. Production services,
SQL queries, transactions, protocol validation and assertions remain
real. Linux embedded PostgreSQL CI is required before merge.
- Focused current-source no-emit typing passes for both production
modules and the new regression file, with normal Express augmentation
and source aliases. The broader local presentation/ownership and
conversation-settlement PGlite bridge run was interrupted before it
reported results; it is not counted as a pass. No repository-wide local
build is claimed from borrowed workspace dependencies. Clean-build CI
and canonical PostgreSQL consumer tests remain required.
- `git diff --check` and the scoped source/test secret scan pass. No
captured run data, credentials or private target identities are
committed.
- No live journey retry, deployment, configuration change or test-plan
admission was performed. The original failed journey remains failed;
this production fix still needs deployed qualification through the
unchanged journey.

- Current-head [canonical Linux
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41207018345)
passed all 57 terminal checks with no failure or pending check. The new
20-case database regression actually passed in [server shard
8](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41207018345/job/124555006090),
at 13:59:25 UTC (2,643 ms). Typecheck, build and the existing consumer
lanes passed. Fresh [Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18465#issuecomment-6544208002)
on exact `f32a432e10b377ae6277d6f728995d5fedcf9d7b` is 5/5; the
review-thread inventory is empty with no pagination. No live deployment
or journey pass is claimed by these checks.

## Risks

Eligible active conversations can gain a previously missing reply.
Recovery accepts only the exact saved final message under its accepted
result and current conversation identity. It does not run a model,
repeat hiring or change a prior test grade. Reply persistence precedes
waiting-state settlement; existing conversation recovery retains
ownership of a later interrupted settlement. No schema or public API
changes are included.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 12d8c3043e fix(native): fence retries when replaying an audited Stop (#18457)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs keep Stop intent and retry state in durable records.
> - A provider error can leave a failed retry with an earlier
acknowledged Stop.
> - The replay path returned the existing receipt before it closed that
retry.
> - This pull request applies the existing retry fence to the validated
replay.
> - The same Stop can settle without another provider cancellation or a
new receipt.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14733 for the related caller-bound Stop contract. This change
covers a later retry that already has a Stop acknowledgement. The older
CI-only #14743 is not a production delivery PR.

**What happened?**

A failed native run can have a retryable coordinator and an earlier
audited Stop. A repeat Stop returns the old acknowledgement without
moving the coordinator to `terminal_failure`. The final
failed-to-cancelled transition requires that fence, so the Stop cannot
settle through that path.

**Expected behavior**

A valid replay closes the same retry and keeps the original intent and
acknowledgement. It does not send a second provider cancellation.
Physical stop and workspace cleanup still require their own evidence.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Store a failed native run with a `retryable_failure` coordinator.
2. Store a matching run-scoped Stop with a dispatched acknowledgement
and audit IDs.
3. Call `cancelNativeSession` for that same run and inspect the
coordinator.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on public master `f2db909393de124caf6a5380a52d4e0e1d621661`.

**Deployment mode**

Core native execution. The regression uses the real cancellation
executor with controlled persistence and provider boundaries.

## What Changed

- Reuse the existing guarded coordinator fence for a validated Stop
replay.
- Test repeated replay, unchanged receipts, one fence, and no second
provider cancellation.
- Reject foreign company, run, issue, scope, effect, and missing-audit
receipts before any write.
- Check that an acknowledged Stop with an unconfirmed remote lease still
fails the physical-stop guard.
- Document the separate retry fence and physical-cleanup requirements.

## Verification

- RED on the selected public base: the new executor case returned
success but left the coordinator in `retryable_failure` with a future
retry. One case executed and failed for that assertion.
- GREEN: 62 focused tests passed across
`native-session-executor.test.ts` and
`native-cancellation-request.test.ts`. These include ownership, caller
conflict, changed-phase, and receipt controls.
- Command from `server/`: `node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run
src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/native-cancellation-request.test.ts -t
'native session cancellation|caller-bound native cancellation|failed
native retry caller admission'`.
- Canonical Linux CI passed all 1,018 executor cases and all 32
caller-cancellation cases. The exact file completion lines are in
[server shard
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41203989386/job/124545366271)
and [server shard
10](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41203989386/job/124545366219).
- Node 24.22.2 and Vitest 5.0.3. Map contract checks and `git diff
--check` pass.
- Local dependencies are linked from an existing checkout. Full local
TypeScript validation reports older Runner/shared declarations that lack
current Kimi and continuity APIs. The changed ranges have no
diagnostics. The canonical clean CI Typecheck + Release Registry gate
passed.
- A broader two-file run was stopped when an unchanged integration case
tried to start embedded Postgres and hit the host listen restriction. It
is not a passing full-suite result. No host settings or other services
were changed.
- Repository-wide `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm test:run`, and `pnpm build`
were not completed locally. Current-head CI passed against clean source
and dependencies.
- Fresh [Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18457#issuecomment-6543772487)
on `dbc1c1a5b71450194d568725592969660864cb5a`: 5/5 with no actionable
findings. The review-thread inventory has no threads and no pagination.
Full [current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41203989386)
passed: 59 terminal checks, 55 successful, 3 skipped, and 1 neutral. No
failure or pending check remains. Merge status is CLEAN. No live
recovery, rollout, or physical termination is claimed.

## Risks

- A wrong or stale Stop must not close another retry. Existing
run/coordinator locks, caller checks, receipt binding, and the final
compare-and-set remain in place.
- This fix changes logical retry settlement only. Provider termination,
workspace preservation, lease cleanup, and continuation gates remain
separate.
- The regression controls persistence and provider boundaries. It does
not establish the physical state of a remote provider.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, code editing, and tool
use. The session does not expose an exact model build ID or
context-window capacity.

DottaandPaperclip c2971badde perf(server): recover independent native replies concurrently (#18421)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work for AI agents.
> - A native run can commit its result before its reply is saved.
> - The response recovery worker saves replies from those committed
results.
> - It checks each candidate in series, so one task can delay unrelated
tasks.
> - This pull request checks up to four independent tasks at once.
> - Each task keeps serial checks, and the existing coordinator owns
retries and shutdown.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Recovery of committed native task replies.

**Current behavior**

The worker checks one candidate at a time in a batch of up to 25. A
database lock or a slow read for one task delays replies for other
tasks.

**Proposed behavior**

Check up to four company-and-task groups at once. Check candidates
within each group in their existing order. Keep the current batch limit
and company selection.

**Reason and benefit**

A ready task reply can be saved while another task waits for a database
lock. The change reduces waiting under a reply backlog.

**Breaking changes**

Replies for different tasks can be saved in a different order. There are
no API or schema changes. Other deadline workers keep serial dispatch.

Related work: #17696 adds the recovery worker. #17501 reduces its read
payloads. #18367 adds its timing spans. These changes are already
merged. The PR search found no open change that adds this concurrency.

## What Changed

- Add optional keyed concurrency to the shared scoped deadline worker.
- Enable a limit of four for native response recovery, keyed by company
and task.
- Await all active checks before the pass ends. Retain per-candidate
failure backoff, drain behavior and pending work.
- Test concurrency limits, task order, company separation, drain/resume,
shutdown, retries and idle wake behavior.
- Add a PostgreSQL regression that holds one task's finalization row
lock while a second task saves its exact accepted reply.
- Document the worker's concurrency and sleep contract.

## Verification

- The PostgreSQL lock regression fails with serial dispatch. It passes
with this change. Both accepted replies are saved once after the lock is
released.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/scoped-deadline-work.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/delivery-work-coordinator.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-work-batch.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/deadline-work.test.ts
server/src/services/execution-preparation-timing.test.ts` — 55 tests
pass.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/presentation-ownership-read.test.ts` with its
documented dedicated PostgreSQL URL — 21 tests pass. The disposable
database was dropped.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passes.
- `pnpm build` — passes.
- One matched local replay with 25 older pending replies and one fresh
reply used the real worker, a 10-connection PostgreSQL pool and 8 ms
delay in each network direction. The saved fresh reply was first
observed after 29.193 s with serial dispatch and 9.798 s with this
change. All 26 replies were saved exactly once in both runs, with no
worker errors. Both disposable databases were dropped. This is one
synthetic workload pair, not a staging measurement.
- `pnpm test:run` was attempted. Embedded PostgreSQL could not
initialize its template after five attempts, so the broad run was
stopped. The changed PostgreSQL tests pass on the separate local server.
Remote CI is green. This PR does not claim a measured staging speedup.

- The [first CI browser
shard](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41162257463/job/124422204506)
failed during company cleanup after its task assertions and empty-run
check passed. Company deletion hit the
`activity_log_company_id_companies_id_fk` constraint. The fixture uses
paused process agents and reported no runs. The one failed-jobs rerun
passed all 45 browser tests. All CI checks are now green.

## Risks

- Four checks can use more database connections than serial recovery.
The limit applies to this queue only; the batch limit stays at 25.
- The shared helper has more dispatch logic. Its default remains serial.
Tests cover task order, retry deadlines, drain and waiting for active
checks during shutdown.
- This improves reply recovery under backlog or lock contention. It does
not establish a target for total agent-turn latency.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with code editing, tool use and local test
execution. This session does not expose a more specific model ID or
context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip d5766e4074 perf(chat): scope task questions and batch inbox queue checks (#18422)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Standing chats show recent messages and current task questions.
> - Recent-message pagination bounds history work, but it does not bound
question work.
> - The question read built the full company attention feed before it
selected the chat's tasks.
> - Each feed read also checked seeded queue membership with one insert
per item.
> - This pull request scopes question collection in the attention owner
and batches queue membership checks.
> - Chats keep their current question cards and initial layout while
doing less work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Follow-up to #18358 and #18323. Related work: #18312.

**What happened?**

A hosted standing chat remained slow after recent-message pagination
shipped. On commit `4eaa435bf4`, an embedded-browser reload made the
conversation usable at about 8.6 seconds. Recent comments finished at
about 1.9 seconds. The pending-question request held the initial reveal
until about 8.4 seconds. That request called the complete company
attention feed and then filtered its results. The separate badge summary
also did broad work.

**Expected behavior**

Chat question cost should depend on the relevant tasks. Reading an
existing queue must not require a separate insert for every member.
Current access and decision policy must remain in force.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a standing chat with questions on tasks assigned to its agent.
2. Add many unrelated tasks and pending questions to the company.
3. Open the chat from a fresh application cache.
4. Compare recent-comment arrival with the pending-question response and
content reveal.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Baseline: `909e29dd071b1aeeb24c2933af049da90a6066d3`. Its affected
services match the observed hosted revision `4eaa435bf4`.

## What Changed

- Add an internal task-question projection to the attention service.
Filter pending interactions by company, task IDs and question kind
before card enrichment.
- Keep the same access, audience, dismissal, queue, snooze, retention,
archive and training-example logic. Ranks are local to the returned
question list.
- Use the projection from the conversation receipt service. Keep current
chat audience and session checks there.
- Batch seeded membership inserts in groups of 500. Keep the queue lock,
conflict protection, audit events and activity logging for each new
membership. Existing members produce no new audit records.
- Add real PostgreSQL regression cases and a reproducible paired
benchmark. No schema migration or UI reveal change is needed.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed. The final server typecheck also passed
after the queue change.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- Real PostgreSQL service coverage: 57 attention and chat-handoff tests
passed. Seven queue-route tests passed, including concurrent reads,
mixed existing/new items, duplicates, disabled seeds and audit
preservation.
- Red/green proof: the unrelated-attention regression fails with the
baseline conversation implementation and passes with the scoped read.
- `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs` and `git diff --check`
passed.
- Full `pnpm test:run` was attempted and stopped with exit 130 after
embedded PostgreSQL startup failures and 17 failures in the untouched
native-session executor suite. It is not a local pass. The focused
Docker/PostgreSQL results above completed before Docker Desktop became
unavailable. A direct native PostgreSQL probe identified the host
semaphore limit (`could not create semaphores: No space left on
device`). No shared kernel settings or other test clusters were changed.
[Full
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41162314995)
passed on `2809f096b3fb2c01b44a96a1b82a27809c9359df`, including all
eight browser shards. Final status: 55 successful checks/statuses, three
skipped and one neutral. Greptile is 5/5 with no findings or unresolved
threads. The fresh local browser retest is blocked because Docker
Desktop cannot start and native PostgreSQL cannot allocate semaphores.
The original hosted reproduction above is complete; no candidate browser
pass is claimed.

Local service benchmark: PostgreSQL 17.11, two relevant tasks, five
alternating pairs per scenario, after warmup. These are local service
timings, not a claim about deployed latency.

| Fixture | Read | Baseline median (range) | Candidate median (range) |
SQL calls |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1,000 unrelated tasks/questions | Chat questions | 670 ms (632–1,905)
| 12 ms (11–15) | 1,076 → 22 |
| 1,000 unrelated tasks/questions | Company badge summary | 641 ms
(622–717) | 167 ms (161–171) | 1,068 → 69 |
| Small company | Chat questions | 38 ms (37–52) | 13 ms (12–16) | 52 →
22 |
| Small company | Company badge summary | 34 ms (33–39) | 34 ms (32–40)
| 44 → 43 |

All question fields and ordering matched, except rank is relative to the
scoped list. Summary fields matched except the generation timestamp. The
interaction plan changed from 1,002 selected rows to two rows through
the existing company/issue/status index. The benchmark loads baseline
attention, conversation and queue modules together so the queue change
cannot contaminate the baseline.

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx ../scripts/benchmark-chat-questions.ts \
  --baseline-ref=909e29dd07 --unrelated=1000
```

## Risks

- Scoped and complete feeds must share policy. This change reuses the
same attention collection and finalization path and tests dismissals,
named audiences, snoozing, archives and private access.
- Batched inserts must audit only new members. The concurrent PostgreSQL
test checks unique membership and one event/activity record per new item
across batch boundaries.
- Full inbox summaries still collect the company feed. The small-company
summary timing is unchanged. Other chat requests and transcript
hydration can still contribute to hosted latency.
- The first reveal still waits for question cards to preserve layout.
This follow-up has not been deployed, so its hosted effect remains
unverified.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

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

**Subsystem affected**

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

**Current behavior**

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

**Proposed behavior**

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

**Reason and benefit**

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

**Breaking changes**

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

**Additional context**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

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

| Mode | DB CPU µs/op, baseline → candidate | WAL B/op, baseline →
candidate | DB-request p99 ms, baseline → candidate | Maximum drain |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Steady | 542.40 → 554.83 (+2.29%) | 1509.01 → 1558.27 (+3.26%) |
107.11 → 111.90 (+4.48%) | 26.35 ms |
| Burst | 1036.36 → 1063.11 (+2.58%) | 4153.12 → 4317.64 (+3.96%) |
103.736 → 103.841 (+0.10%) | 930.14 ms |

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

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


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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

| Gate | Current repair evidence |
| --- | --- |
| Assembled regression | Baseline fails with an accepted result and
terminal snapshot but a NULL task pointer while real provider cleanup is
held. The fix passes normal continuation and reset cases, with no
pointer seeding. Exact merged `92b7447` passed 2/2 twice, including
after normal package TypeScript output refresh. Production files are
byte-identical at frozen `435ccd2`. |
| Persistence and concurrency | 19 helper/transaction cases and all 59
existing control-port cases pass on `0862062`. They cover bound result
IDs, reset/newer epochs, Stop, lock waits and expiry, receipt replay,
missing stubs, foreign bindings and atomic 4 KiB rollback. Existing
snapshot transaction count stays one. The new tests reproduce the exact
live missing-result-ID error and the inverse replay/status lock order
against `435ccd2`, then pass after the correction. Replayed results
still reject stale generations. |
| Completion | All 32 completion-boundary tests pass on merged
`92b7447`; the source is unchanged at `435ccd2`. Native result-shaped
session metadata is preserved. |
| Qualification fixture | A valid review report reproduced three
rejected correct replies. Exact token-boundary matching fixes them. 140
focused E2E/catalog cases and Product E2E typecheck pass. Wrong tokens,
marker prefixes/suffixes and wrong authors remain rejected;
retained-identity checks are unchanged. |
| Required checks | Full recursive typecheck and standard build passed
at `435ccd2`. Both exact commands also passed on `0862062`, with its
exact server build stamp; both also pass on `7a203274`, with its exact
server build stamp. Fresh `0862062` Greptile passed 5/5, with zero
unresolved threads. The `64c0b746` normal CI then passed all 49 jobs (48
success, one expected skip) and Greptile passed 5/5 with zero unresolved
findings. The `7a203274` normal CI also passed 48 jobs with one expected
skip, with fresh Greptile 5/5 and zero unresolved findings. Current
`39a4343` recursive typecheck and standard build both pass with
persisted exit codes and its exact build stamp; fresh Greptile is 5/5
with zero unresolved findings. Its normal CI completed successfully: 48
jobs passed and one expected job skipped. The fresh live result remains
separately failed. The `0862062` normal CI had 46 passing jobs, one
expected skip, one worker communication failure and its aggregate
failure; GitHub states the self-hosted runner lost communication. No
failed assertion or specific OOM/spot cause was established, and no
blind retry was used. |
| PostgreSQL supplement | One corrected all-pool pair at the preceding
repair passed 300-controller/10,000-history correctness and absolute
gates. SQL 76,590→75,990; transactions 9,013→8,713; UPDATE rows 11,613
each; 300 correct pointer writes each. PG CPU 31.99→30.46 s, WAL
70.36→67.87 MB, request p99 100.98→103.12 ms. This is one pair, not a
repeated improvement claim or an exact `0862062` CPU measurement. Its
two later changes defer premature publication and reorder existing
locks; they add no transaction, stream/idle writer, pool or timer. The
first collapsed-pool attempt remains invalid and retained. This is not
an exact final-head CPU/WAL measurement; later fixes change ordering,
identity selection and in-memory skill replacement without adding
snapshot transactions, pools, stream writes or idle SQL. |
| Live publication proof (`0862062`) | Baseline run
`06fcc806-f186-4190-9b57-087b61d75533` accepted result
`58f912dc-94d9-4b4d-bd3d-d5f689c83fd3`; the publication receipt names
the same result, the task pointer has parameters and `lastRunId`
matches, and the normalized native identity matches the following active
run. Accounting v2 settled. |
| Active recovery (`0862062`) | **FAIL.** SIGKILL/cache discard at
23:07:28.666 UTC; hold 300,000.859 ms; B ready at 308,896.486 ms;
natural generation-2 ownership at 312,906 ms. At about 319 s,
preparation failed `runner_harness_state_mismatch:
resumed_not_suspended`. No authenticated after-receipt passed within 420
s. Exact original Runner PID 668/start/fingerprint was independently
still alive; provider auto-stop was 15 minutes. No retained C follow-up
qualified. Canonical 0/1 `cleanup_failure`/cleanup-failed report remains
failed; subsequent independent cleanup deleted all three owned resources
with exact 404s and confirmed full intended-account inventory with zero
owned resources. |
| Verified adoption preparation (`64c0b746`) | 91 focused cases pass,
including actual preparation for four active providers and a distinct
prior/current warm proof. Unproved resumed state, dead process and stale
warm owner remain rejected. The earlier options-only fixture missed this
gate. No spawn, backup restore or PRP-authentication bypass was added.
Server typecheck passes. |
| Active warm identity (`64c0b746`) | **FAIL.** B claimed generation 2
at 312,995 ms. Preparation passed, then strict PRP recovery rejected the

lease, normalized session and run IDs matched; only
`turn_attachment_…`/`item_attachment_…` differed from generated

| Six-field identity repair (`7a203274`) | Actual server-factory

identity, same Runner/provider OS identities, no duplicate launch/turn,
and no redispatch or invented receipt for an uncertain tool. The
synthetic wrong pair still fails the unchanged guard. This protocol case
does not claim business completion. Server and Runner typechecks pass. |

regression RED3→GREEN9. The successor now uses its existing production
coordinator claim and prompt renewal before strict retirement. A real
Runner/Postgres case starts in the actual native-observed/unclaimed
phase, claims through production code, then closes and durably suspends
the predecessor in 1.657 s. All 25 real-Postgres cases pass;
unclaimed/foreign writers remain rejected. Shared attachment staging
stays after retirement; Stop and denied claims neither close nor stage.
No new claim or SQL path was added. |
| Configuration continuity (`283e05ffaa`) | Real shared/project-primary
environment selection → configuration with four skill versions
reproduces `reset: true`, changed category exactly `adapterConfig`,

generated preference while actual runtime skills stayed identical.
Replacing existing pinned rows in place preserves the original fresh
name/key order and fingerprint. The assembled regression passes, as do
three existing pinned-version/rename/alias cases and server typecheck.
Genuine model/skill-selection changes still invalidate. No
fingerprint-format change or broad compatibility exemption. |

PASS: 48 jobs plus one expected skip. Fresh review 5/5, zero unresolved
threads. Live baseline, recovered run and queued continuation all
succeeded, each accepted/published/committed once with accounting v2

within original timing. |

request. No fourth native run or C continuation was exercised. Cause of
navigation timeout is unknown. C task had no execution lock, queued
comments, handoff or recovery blocker; all three prior runs were
committed/accounted. Normal cleanup passed; independent provider

**FAIL, preserved.** The real post-C API request dispatched run
`c71fbb18-f979-4fe4-93ce-9c4be46dbf21`, which failed
`native_session_interrupted` / `native_session_recovery_failed` at
01:10:00.640 UTC. It selected the same normalized native identity,
Runner and checkpoint-provider identity as the three succeeded turns. No
C result was accepted; pending accounting remains explicit. Active
recovery passed: actual offline hold 300,001.098 ms, B ready 308,335.019

| Current required checks (`9eb9ac6f9e`) | Recursive typecheck, standard

CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41152908417)
PASS: 48 jobs plus one expected skip. Fresh Greptile 5/5, latest edited
summary checked, zero unresolved threads. Exact8/512/8,192 stream probes
again report zero recovery SQL/transactions/rows and settled-idle SQL;
seven control transactions/twelve changed rows each, with 36 separate
legitimate renewals in the longest case. CI success does not supersede
the failed live C gate. |

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

<details>
<summary>Earlier qualification measurements and failed attempts
(historical, before this repair)</summary>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip f1d7808382 fix(tools): stabilize tied profile entry order (#18427)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Advanced YAML editor reads shared tool profiles through their
owning service.
> - The editor must preserve hidden settings and reject real concurrent
changes.
> - Batch-created entries share a creation time. Queries sorted only by
that time can return the same entries in a different order.
> - The editor can then report a false concurrent tool change before it
sends a profile binding request.
> - This pull request adds an ID tie-breaker to profile entry reads.
> - The benefit is a stable saved configuration without removing the
concurrent-change guard.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18356. Related: #18168.

**What happened?**

The compact YAML browser case failed at its second save. Save stayed
enabled and the profile binding write did not occur. The original CI
artifact has no response bodies. It does not establish the exact entry
order from that run.

A controlled browser test reproduced this failure. It changed only the
order of 30 equal-time entries in the second preflight response. The
client reported `tools changed while you were editing. Reload saved
before saving.` No binding request followed. A separate first-save
response barrier showed that the pending-save guard worked.

**Expected behavior**

Reads of unchanged entries must have a stable order. Real entry changes
must still trigger the existing configuration checks. Entry order does
not set policy precedence; exclusions still win over matching includes.

**Steps to reproduce**

Create a profile with entries that share one creation time. Read the
profile, change the physical row layout in a disposable PostgreSQL
database, and read it again. The old service has no tie-breaker for
these entries. The new regression fails against that service.

## What Changed

- Sort list and detail entry reads by creation time, then ID, in the
profile service. These reads supply saved configuration snapshots. Other
reads retain their existing behavior.
- Add one real PostgreSQL regression. It changes heap layout in both
directions, checks stable list and detail values, preserves
chronological ordering, checks company boundaries, and checks
include/exclude results and a real entry change.
- Include the exact test-only recovery prerequisite from commit
`36c8d9ddd76d0b7ddb28a9a6c674d9e538f6df88`. Its file blob is unchanged.
It removes a one-sweep fixture assumption while keeping bounded recovery
assertions. No document UI or journey code is imported.

## Verification

- Base: one frozen public master snapshot,
`8c9dd1e4445e58cc9ca08076dfe9c0b27038d6ee`. The affected service,
schema, projection, resolver, and save guard match the failed CI merge
`94d98d5c75c8f331aad4bfab2111ee587b0c63fe`.
- RED: the new real PostgreSQL test fails on the old service. Both
physical layouts were verified before the ordering assertion failed.
- GREEN: `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/tool-profile-entry-order.test.ts
src/__tests__/tool-profile-entry-validation.test.ts` — 18 tests pass
with real PostgreSQL 17.
- GREEN: `cd ui && pnpm exec vitest run
src/lib/agent-configuration/save.test.ts
src/lib/agent-configuration-yaml.test.ts --maxWorkers 1` — 51 tests
pass.
- GREEN: one focused Chromium treatment of the original compact YAML
case passes. The treatment changes the actual disposable database heap
after the first save. It does not transform HTTP responses. The 30
equal-time entries stay identical through the API, the second bind
returns 201, and the original hidden-setting and disabled-Save
assertions pass.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check` pass.
- Local tests use Node 24, a macOS source server, Chromium, and an
isolated loopback PostgreSQL 17 container. The server and container are
stopped. Private traces and control source are retained outside Git.
These controls do not prove a deployed Cloud result.
- A review follow-up removes two unnecessary query changes. Fresh real
PostgreSQL verification still passes all 18 tests. The list/detail
queries and browser path are unchanged from the passing heap-reorder
treatment.
- Prior head `59edcade203d6a05923955f5a0118e62c7e549c5` had a separate
browser failure in run `41169427774`:
`disconnect-write-recovery.spec.ts:204` kept the original title after a
mocked session lookup failure. Its relevant test and UI source are
unchanged from the base. The cause is unresolved. The two removed query
changes do not repair it. The original log and artifact are retained; no
unchanged job retry was issued. On the current head, this case passes in
14.3 seconds. The compact YAML case also passes in 11.2 seconds. The
later success does not establish the prior failure cause.
- Final exact head: `81c584aeac116b9d7a126b55dc99d5f6c70c195f`. [CI run
41169978784](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41169978784)
completes with success: all 47 workflow jobs are terminal, and all 57 PR
check/status entries are green or accepted neutral/skipped states. Full
typecheck, build, Runner checks, security checks, and `ci / verify`
pass. They were not repeated as broad local commands because the shared
host is under load.
- The new PostgreSQL regression also passes in Linux CI in 911 ms.
Server shard 12 has 1,839 passing tests. Browser shard 3 has 45 passing
tests, including the original compact YAML case.
- Fresh Greptile and Paperclip reviews both give this exact head 5/5
with no findings. All review threads are resolved. The branch is
mergeable and clean.

## Risks

- Entries with the same creation time now use ID order. Their prior
relative order was undefined. Entries with different creation times keep
their existing order.
- The query still sorts the same rows and adds one key to the sort. It
adds no query, polling, schema change, or migration.
- The configuration equality and concurrent-change checks are unchanged.
This fix does not ignore real tool changes.
- The original CI response order is unknown. The regression proves a
permitted ordering defect and the matching failure mechanism, not the
unique historical cause.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, source inspection,
terminal tools, and browser test execution. The exact serving model ID
and context-window size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 100b364264 Preserve selected Google services when setup resumes (#18048)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Connections control which external services an agent can use.
> - Google Workspace setup lets a person choose services and read or
write access.
> - A draft lost that choice after a declined or expired OAuth handoff.
> - Finish setup could then show all services with write access instead
of the saved narrow choice.
> - This pull request saves the exact draft choice without treating it
as granted access.
> - The benefit is safe setup recovery that preserves the person's
choice and existing account limits.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15545. The duplicate search found no open PR for Workspace draft
consent recovery. Related #18000 concerns satisfied gateway access
requests, not saved OAuth setup intent.

**What happened?**

A cold Workspace draft resumed with the new-account service defaults.
The selected request lived only in short-lived OAuth state. Denial
consumed that state. The picker ignored draft connections.

**Expected behavior**

Finish setup restores the same person's saved service choice. It does
not use another person's choice, a broad profile hint, or a credential
grant as draft intent. An old draft with no reliable choice asks the
person to choose services.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a new Google Workspace connection. Select Gmail read-only. Turn
off Drive and Calendar.
2. Continue to Google, then decline authorization.
3. Close the setup page. Return through Finish setup.
4. Open the service picker. Before this fix, all three services can be
enabled with write access.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced in tests on master
`820c458465fa40137c81fe510f3e6dc573b4f895`.

**Deployment mode**

Authenticated and local source builds. The source regression uses real
PostgreSQL fixtures and the production React setup components. Live
provider acceptance of this repair is still pending deployment.

## What Changed

- Save validated, non-secret draft intent before managed or
customer-owned OAuth. Bind it to company, connection, actor, grant kind,
and subject.
- Restore that intent after denial, state expiry, and cold Finish setup.
Keep active reconnect bound to its saved grant. Do not change
new-account defaults.
- Preserve agent-to-human setup handoffs. Consume only the addressed
person's reviewed proposal. Keep other people's proposals.
- Lock and merge the current draft before saving intent. Return 409 if
its credential identity or method changed during setup.
- Preserve the latest saved choice across overlapping customer-owned
starts. Merge both current configuration records under short locks.
Reject stale client-binding changes. Keep each OAuth state's own
requested scopes.
- Add shared, service, handoff, picker, and cold-page regression tests.
Update the connector contract and existing feature plan.

- Route the default ungrouped test/release paths through six sequential
exact-cover chat partitions. Preserve remaining server/native coverage,
explicit grouped CI, selection-first execution and shared-database
paths.
- Correct the retention test driver so pending owned real I/O does not
advance logical deadlines. Pump zero-duration connection timers and add
a held-I/O regression; keep production scheduling and original timing
assertions unchanged.

The shared helper is needed by the server and picker to validate the
same narrow binding. It does not resolve credentials or grant access. No
production schema migration, new route, provider scope or deployment
configuration is added. The test-harness changes do not change
production timers.

## Verification

### Current candidate: source qualification passed; live acceptance
pending

- Current published candidate:
`82d13d4d698a5579378b5d506cb7a1f9cb64b5c8`, tree
`78d6a821ce53f481fe3e9991edce56f0acffb22f`. It combines the Workspace
repair with launcher commit `bf29c9` and retention-test commit `e25987`,
then integrates master `493e229d93ba7798e80152f4549e2e9177ce50ae`. The
integration brings 40 upstream commits across 713 files. One launcher
conflict keeps upstream validated CI selection and its selection-first
path, then applies six default chat partitions only without a selection.
The authored PR diff has 16 files, 833 additions and 100 deletions; it
adds no authored lockfile or `.github` changes. The public head is
confirmed at this revision. Fresh CI and review passed as recorded
below. Source qualification is complete using exact-tree full CI and the
local results below. The separate local whole command was interrupted by
host disk protection and is not called a pass. Live repaired-draft
acceptance remains pending deployment.
- Exact clean `82d13d4` passed one Node 24.19.0 builtin-only run: 41/41
cases (37 launcher and four CI-workflow cases), zero failures/skips.
HEAD, tree and relevant file hashes stayed unchanged and clean before,
at start and after. This proves launcher fixtures, not real chat
execution, current typecheck/build, the dependency-backed selection
graph, or full feature acceptance.
- The new default ungrouped whole command uses six sequential
exact-cover chat partitions, then the remaining server suites,
workspaces and serialized suites: 28 expected invocations. It preserves
all native suites, including upstream usage coverage. The plain
ungrouped release launch path also changes. Explicit grouped CI,
validated selection and shared-database execution stay unchanged.
Launcher hard RED had three expected body failures and two unchanged
passes; the repaired focused five and final 37 passed. A later 41-case
staged-merge pass is retained separately; the clean 82 run above is the
frozen proof.
- Fresh [CI run
41153113944](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41153113944)
completed successfully on October 31 at 01:14:53 UTC. Current head has
52 successful check runs, four conditional skips and no pending/failing
checks; legacy Snyk also passed. The skips are test-file selection, the
optional paired benchmark and two Storybook checks. The full
server/chat/workspace/serialized matrix, all eight e2e shards, normal
build, build-gap typecheck, Runner checks and final aggregate gates
passed. Build and all three chat job logs identify checkout
`e5e831fd3a8534d0d0f1e892118c0f8fbe12dd92`, merging this head into
`493e229d93`. Its Git tree is exactly
`78d6a821ce53f481fe3e9991edce56f0acffb22f`, identical to the clean
candidate. The six real chat partitions passed 314, 358, 273, 239, 321
and 311 cases: 1,816 total. Other cases shown as skipped in each
partition were selection exclusions, not extra passed cases. This is
current tree-equivalent CI proof, not a pass of the separate default
ungrouped local whole command.
- Fresh [Greptile
summary](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18048#issuecomment-6473856992),
edited October 31 at 01:05:04 UTC, explicitly reviews exact head
`82d13d4` at 5/5 with no actionable code issue. Its exact-head check
passed. The prior overlapping-start discussion is resolved. This review
is source-only, not provider or live acceptance.
- Exact clean `82d13d4` passed full recursive typecheck and normal `pnpm
build` on the independent darwin/arm64 snapshot. Typecheck finished on
October 31 at 01:27:33 UTC; build finished at 01:28:33 UTC. Both exited
0. Normal native preparation and code signing passed. Source HEAD, tree
and tracked/untracked state stayed unchanged and clean. `pnpm
check:token-gates` also passed all token, palette and ClipLab checks on
this candidate. The earlier forced-clone `ENOSYS` preflight remains
recorded as setup failure, not an assertion result.
- The unchanged default `pnpm test:run` started at 01:51:33.796 UTC on
clean exact `82d13d4`. All six real chat partitions passed: 358, 314,
273, 239, 311 and 321 cases, or 1,816 actual cases. The original FIFO
and ambiguous-retry cases both passed under their unchanged 15-second
limits. General-server then reported 37 completed file rows with 5,438
passed cases and five default remote-continuity skips, including all 498
tool-access service cases and all 83 connection-route cases. At 02:39:44
UTC, the unchanged 5-GiB host-disk guard terminated the owned run. The
child ended with SIGTERM and the container/harness exited 143, with no
OOM or recorded assertion failure. Only seven of 28 RUN invocations
started. Retention had no completed local row. Later invocations did not
run. This whole local command is interrupted/incomplete, not passed.
- A coverage check found no default suite missing from current full PR
CI. The maintained launcher tests prove exact coverage for all 12 PR
server shards, chat and five native suites; all configured workspace
projects; and all nine serialized shards. The final Runner CI shard
executes the five native server suites. The 41 local launcher/workflow
cases cover six sequential chat children, per-child isolation, native
retention, fail-fast propagation and unchanged explicit
selection/shared-database paths. The actual six-chat run above exercises
that changed default path. The remaining unqualified local difference is
uninterrupted sequential whole-command composition and resource
accumulation, not omitted test selection. Current exact-tree full CI
supplies broad source-test qualification; no local whole-pass claim or
provider acceptance is inferred.
- A task-owned remote runner was considered to complete that separate
composition check. Its provider rejected the requested allocation with
per-sandbox limits of 8 GiB RAM and 10 GiB disk. No sandbox was admitted
and no remote tests ran. No tests, timeouts, assertions, database
synchronization, source or provider settings were changed to avoid the
capacity limit. Historical a0 failures remain below. No deployment or
live repaired-draft acceptance has run.

### Bounded follow-up on the prior source

- On a0, one finite phase-traced chat diagnostic executed exactly the
two failed cases. Both passed (1,374 and 1,767 ms); 1,814 other cases
were filtered, not passed. This did not reproduce a blocked await or
establish the original monolithic timeout cause. No assertion or
15-second limit changed.
- The retention diagnosis preserved an initial zero-body selector
failure, then corrected only the selector: one original case passed in
783 ms, with 42 filtered. Trace showed the old settling helper advancing
logical time while real I/O was active. A new held-I/O regression then
failed hard because the old helper advanced 1,000 ms. This proves a
test-driver defect, not the precise cause of the old 5,340 ms full-run
gap.
- The first manual-clock repair failed the complete 44-case file: 43
passed, one body hit 15 seconds and cleanup hit 30 seconds. Its planned
mutant did not run. Source then identified a fresh PostgreSQL
connection's zero-duration timer. The corrected driver pumps
zero-duration timers while initial readiness or tracked I/O is pending,
without advancing logical Date. That pre-integration file passed 44/44
with no skips. A separate scratch-only 5,000 ms normal-continuation
mutant failed the original hard `5000 < 3000` assertion; its expected
failure is not a test pass. The original page-count, fairness, expiry
and quiet assertions stayed intact. The authored repair does not change
the production worker. The merged master changes an older retention case
and dependencies; these pre-integration results are not a complete 82
retention or whole-suite pass.

### Historical qualification: SHA-bound, not 82 acceptance

- Historical a0 candidate: `a0f9089fc1ff466bf4e1eeddc5b1a910d09e380b`,
tree `b9d73713319dcd52b9eaa6053008b5190e43fdf1`. It adds the
overlapping-start repair to parent `6c18`, which already merged pinned
master `1511c92965325249ed6b52dd5be52eb6d736fbfa`. That candidate
changed 12 files. Its CI and review passed; its local full qualification
remained failed/incomplete.
- Greptile's previous `6c18` review found P1 [Latest service choice gets
lost](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18048#discussion_r4425965828),
confidence 4/5. Two hard-assert regressions reproduced it on untouched
`6c18`: the already-bound path overwrote the later choice, and real
first-use client stamping also restored the old choice. Existing OAuth
states/grants were not widened, but a later setup could restore an older
request. The new repair covers both write boundaries without holding
locks over external work or copying another attempt's scopes.
- The complete affected service file passed 498 tests with no failures
or skips. All 31 required controls ran, including both unchanged RED
cases, 14 new client-drift cases, seven earlier identity guards,
reconnect/cold-resume cases and upstream transaction tests. The tested
three-file patch is byte-identical to this commit; the connector
contract update is separate. Independent scoped review found no
additional actionable issue. Fresh Greptile reviewed exact `a0f` at 5/5
with no actionable findings. The previous P1 thread is resolved.
- On exact `a0f`, the five shared/UI files passed 312 tests. An initial
complete connection-management run then failed: 74 passed, eight timed
out at the unchanged 15-second limit, and one AI-account verification
returned 422 instead of 201. The Google addressed-user handoff passed.
The container exited 1 without OOM and stopped before chat/token/whole
tests. This material failure remains retained and its cause
unclassified; the later controlled recovery below is not a causal
explanation.
- One diagnostic executed the first failed gateway case and the two AI
cases with temporary phase-only tracing. All three passed at 8.516,
5.511 and 3.523 seconds; 80 other cases were filtered. Original hard
assertions and timeouts stayed unchanged. No timeout or suspected late
provider cleanup reproduced, so the complete-file failure remains
unresolved. Vitest exited 0; the harness exited 1 because its trace
parser missed ANSI prefixes. All 203 events were recovered from retained
logs without rerunning tests. Instrumentation was removed. This is not
acceptance.
- Historical a0 CI
[41097596364](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41097596364)
completed successfully: 52 successful checks, two expected Storybook
skips and no failed/pending checks. Legacy Snyk passed. All 48 CI jobs
passed, including all 1,816 chat cases and explicit passing lines for
the original 20 local failures. [Server
11/12](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41097596364/job/124207469276)
explicitly passed the complete 83-case connection file in 129.49
seconds, including all nine local failure titles. The actual checkout
was synthetic merge `06851da6eb969d63e1c7dc9f7c95f08d09fa4ff1`,
combining `a0f` with `aa58fa107389e8b9ae5949f7ad815943dfd94292`. This is
not standalone local `a0f` qualification and does not erase the nine
local route failures.
- Linux admission uses Node 24.22.2, pnpm 9.15.4 and Rust 1.97.1. Frozen
offline install, exact native hashes and real migrated PostgreSQL 18.1
passed. Native/protocol/build/lock inputs are identical between `6c18`
and `a0f`; validated cache reuse retains the actual `6c18` native-build
provenance. The selected packaged release binary is not called a fresh
`a0f` build. Database synchronization settings stayed on. This admission
alone does not explain the route failures.
- A fresh Mac snapshot of exact `a0f` passed frozen install, workspace
prerequisites, full sequential recursive typecheck and normal `pnpm
build`, both on their first attempt. Typecheck completed at 17:43:05
UTC, build at 17:44:43 UTC; both exited 0 with clean tracked/untracked
source. Pinned Node 24.19, pnpm 9.15.4, Rust 1.97.1, package concurrency
one, Cargo jobs one and a 12 GiB V8 heap ceiling were retained.
Largest-process maximum RSS was 7,668,154,368 bytes for typecheck and
10,038,837,248 bytes for build, not aggregate tree peaks. The first
build correctly withheld its freshness stamp because 125 ignored, pinned
Copilot assets appeared during preparation; exact path/hash analysis
explained this. The normal build then recorded a genuine stamp and
reused Cargo outputs in 1.18 seconds. No manual stamp, source workaround
or gate retry. This is darwin/arm64 static/build proof, not Linux
packaging/runtime or full tests.
- The historical a0 candidate's token checker passed all four gates
across 1,410 files, run directly with pinned Node 24 against the script
behind `pnpm check:token-gates`.
- The single controlled complete-file comparison passed: baseline `6c18`
83/83 in 287.07 seconds, then candidate `a0f` 83/83 in 293.03 seconds,
with zero skips. All nine earlier failure titles passed on both. Both
child/container exits were 0, no OOM/interruption; source and
native/resolver/PostgreSQL guards matched. This ran only after all owned
Mac compilation ended, with fresh processes/databases and identical
four-CPU-quota/6-GiB/overlay inputs. No filtering, instrumentation,
assertion/timeout/source changes or retry loop. This establishes
standalone complete-file recovery, not the cause of the earlier eight
timeouts/AI 422.
- The first unchanged full `pnpm test:run` on exact clean `a0f` ran from
October 30 at 18:01:43 UTC to 21:06:19 UTC. It failed naturally with
test and container exit 1, without OOM. General-server reported 1,257
passed, one failed and seven skipped files; 28,633 passed, one failed
and 103 skipped tests. Only the first of 22 invocations ran. The later
four groups and 21 invocations did not run. The sole failure was the
unchanged chat-shard CLI meta-test: its nested projectless pnpm lookup
hit the offline network guard. This was a failed full gate, not Google
provider acceptance.
- A finite environment pair reproduced that one meta-test failure, then
passed the same unchanged case after supported `corepack prepare
pnpm@9.15.4 --activate` as the existing non-root node user. The cached
pnpm payload was identical. Only the missing node-user last-known-good
record changed. Core source, dependencies, lockfile, fixtures,
assertions, timers and offline guards stayed unchanged. This isolates
the nested collection defect; it does not explain the earlier route
failures or complete the full gate.
- The corrected unchanged full command ran from October 30 at
21:29:03.500 UTC to October 31 at 00:02:44.207 UTC on the same exact
clean `a0f`. It failed naturally with exit 1, signal null and no OOM.
Source stayed clean before, at start and after. It retained two visible
CPUs/quota, 6 GiB, private IPC, normal overlay, matching native inputs,
synchronized real PostgreSQL 18.1, and the default five groups/22
invocations. Only the first general-server invocation ran; the other 21
did not run. General-server reported 1,265 files: 1,256 passed, two
failed and seven skipped. It reported 28,737 tests: 28,631 passed, three
failed and 103 skipped. The two chat cases emitted `Test timed out in
15000ms` at `chat-channels.integration.test.ts:77310` and `:81790`, with
durations of 15,045 and 15,058 ms. These were the durable pre-run FIFO
notice and ambiguous GitHub text restart/retry cases. The retention case
emitted `expected 5340 to be less than 3000` at
`skill-version-retention.test.ts:593`. Its real duration was 1,727 ms;
5,340 ms was the recorded fake-time directory-page gap, not a deadline
timeout. The timeout stacks do not identify the blocked internal await.
The cause of these failures remains unclassified. Inside this same
failed run, the complete 83-case connection file and 498-case service
file passed. The former Corepack meta-case also passed in 6,396 ms.
These component passes do not waive the failed/incomplete full gate. No
rerun, cancellation, timeout/assertion change or full-pass claim. A
later fresh two-case phase trace passed both chat cases; it did not
reproduce or establish the original timeout cause. At that checkpoint,
the PR stayed draft.
- Prior `6c18` targeted checks passed 930 tests across eight files and
token gates. Its selected queue group passed all 53 cases, including the
original 20 failures and 12 new named controls. Backlog cases took 10.49
and 8.45 seconds under the unchanged 15-second limit. Another 1,763 chat
cases were intentionally filtered. This is historical targeted recovery,
not a full pass or proof of the new repair. No timeout or assertion was
relaxed.
- Prior `6c18` full local qualification failed during serial typecheck:
server TypeScript was killed with code 137. Docker confirmed OOM in the
6 GiB container; full tests and build never started. The failure is
retained. The new Mac resource plan avoids repeating that undersized run
and does not change the shared Docker VM.
- Prior CI
[41089793558](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41089793558)
completed successfully for synthetic merge
`a73bffcfa3ede051961bcabcfa576c703d10c932` (`6c18` plus
`abc270ee4c03e13b4d6eaad156a41b4ebed4bb0a`). All 48 CI jobs passed; all
1,816 chat cases passed, including explicit log lines for the original
20. Check runs were 51 success, two expected skips and one Greptile
failure; legacy Snyk passed. These results do not qualify `a0f` or erase
its local route failures.
- Red proof on the unmodified master baseline: cold picker and Finish
setup restore broad defaults; managed and customer-owned drafts lack
saved intent. The stale setup tests also fail before the lock guard.
- Live staging baseline `b25f3e2af8e77d882cd22d36ca55640e6468e46f` also
reproduces the ordinary failure: select Gmail read-only only, cancel at
Google, reload the connector catalog, then Finish setup. All three
groups return enabled at read/write. Authorization was declined; no new
Google access was granted. This is baseline failure evidence, not a
deployed-fix pass.
- Historical affected suites: 800 tests passed before the final lock
guard. The final focused service and handoff cases passed 126 tests
after that guard. These are not results for the integrated candidate.
- Historical `pnpm -r typecheck` and final lock-guard server typecheck
passed. The historical a0 candidate passed the full recursive gate
separately, as recorded above.
- `pnpm build`: passed again on the final lock-guard source in commit
`1c31cde0ed199fbf4e41b7649590554f7886dfc2`.
- Historical `pnpm check:token-gates` passed; the historical a0
candidate's direct checker pass is recorded above.
- `pnpm test:run` on macOS failed on the frozen commit. It exited 1
after 9,432.41 seconds. General server results: 1,195 files passed, 10
failed, eight skipped; 26,706 tests passed, one timed out, 157 skipped.
Nine setup hooks timed out while starting embedded PostgreSQL. The
retained log records host-wide semaphore exhaustion (`semget`), not disk
exhaustion. One unchanged publication-text performance case also timed
out. Its cause is not established. Later workspace and serialized groups
did not run. This is a failed and incomplete local gate.
- The independent full-source Linux run also failed and was incomplete
on the same frozen commit. Native and real-database admission passed.
Chat integration reported 20 failures in 1,593 tests. Tool-access passed
all 479 tests. Native-session-executor passed all 965 tests. Docker
interrupted the run after about 48 minutes on October 29. The container
exited 143 and was not OOM-killed. The run produced no final group
totals or detailed assertion summary. Shell trap metadata reports zero,
but this is not a valid test-pass result. Source and evidence remain
unchanged. The focused diagnosis below retains those failures; their
cause is not assumed from the interruption. Neither historical local
full run passed.
- A fresh focused replay on the frozen source then executed exactly
those 20 case bodies. All 20 failed; this was not a setup-hook failure.
The two backlog cases reached the unchanged 15-second timeout. The 18
FIFO cases failed on missing notices or receipt rows. All 18 FIFO cases
passed when run alone in a fresh process and database. This supports an
order interaction, not a complete cause or baseline conclusion. A
separate two-backlog control used RAM-backed temporary storage and real
PostgreSQL with synchronization settings on. One backlog case passed in
10.65 seconds; the other still timed out at 15 seconds. No source,
assertion or timeout was changed. The full local gate remains open.
- Earlier mixed-revision run: it began before the final guard and
imported older source before collecting later regression cases. It
failed those new cases with that older cached module. This run is
retained, not counted as candidate acceptance. The fresh focused run
passed all seven stale-setup cases. No case was skipped to hide a
failure.
- Historical remote gates for `1c31` were terminal and clean: 53
successful contexts and two expected Storybook skips. Main CI
[40720536514](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40720536514)
passed. Greptile reviewed exact head
`1c31cde0ed199fbf4e41b7649590554f7886dfc2` at 5/5 with no actionable
findings; the separate review job also passed, and there were no inline
review comments. These results do not qualify `6c18`.
- CI source qualification: the chat jobs checked out synthetic merge
`ef36746b3d2ec52ba5727dcbe4da265a03421fe4`, which merges the PR into
`7d75ae0569e41786640cf09647ae8849411d2f22`. All 20 locally failing case
names have explicit passing CI log lines. These passes do not establish
standalone local acceptance of `1c31`. The merge adds two upstream Teams
tests, so it collects 1,595 chat cases instead of 1,593. Neither
backlog/FIFO assertions nor their timeouts changed.
- Independent source review found an earlier credential-identity race.
The guard and seven deterministic cases resolve that finding. A later
integration review missed the separate overlapping-start race. Both RED
failures and that review miss are retained. The narrow follow-up repair
passed 498 service cases, independent source review and fresh remote
CI/5-of-5 review; full local qualification remains incomplete.
- Source qualification is ready for merge. Live repaired-draft recovery,
delivery and Google approval are not established by these results. The
local whole command remains explicitly incomplete.

## Risks

- Historical drafts without a matching intent now need an explicit
service choice. This is deliberate and prevents silent broadening.
- A concurrent credential or method edit now returns 409. Reloading lets
the person review the changed setup.
- Overlapping starts keep separate requested scope sets. Updating draft
intent does not relabel an earlier OAuth state's consent request.
- Saved intent is not consent. Provider-reported scopes and current
action policies still control discovery and dispatch.
- No migration is needed. No existing token or grant is rewritten by
saving draft intent.

- Default ungrouped launch paths now execute six chat children in
sequence and 28 whole-command invocations. Exact coverage, local
launcher contracts and all six real default chat partitions passed. A
complete uninterrupted local whole-command run remains unqualified
because of host capacity.
- The retention test-clock repair depends on owned-I/O and zero-duration
connection-timer progress. The controlled regression, sensitivity mutant
and current exact-tree CI protect the original assertion. It did not
reach a completed row in the interrupted local whole run.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, described by the runtime as GPT-5 based. The exact runtime
model ID and context-window size are not exposed to this task. Used
reasoning, code execution, browser verification, and independent
delegated review.

DottaandPaperclip 8ff812cdde feat(chat): deliver proactive task messages to agent chats (#18374)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent Chat gives each person a persistent conversation with each
agent.
> - Tasks and routines produce results outside that conversation.
> - Those runs need a safe way to bring a requested result back to the
person.
> - The server must select the agent's own chat and check the source
task's access rules.
> - This pull request adds proactive chat messages and unread
indicators.
> - People can see the result, open its source task, and reply in the
same chat.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Server, native runner tools, shared contracts, database, and UI.

**Problem or motivation**

An agent can report progress on a task or comment on an authorized task.
It cannot send a routine result to its own standing chat with the
responsible person. A morning review routine therefore cannot leave a
visible digest in that person's chat.

**Proposed solution**

Add `send_chat_message({body, idempotencyKey})` and `POST
/api/agents/me/chat/messages`. The server selects the company, agent,
and responsible person from the active run. It saves an attributed
comment and audit record in one transaction. The chat shows a
source-task link and per-person unread state.

**Alternatives considered**

A destination parameter on a generic comment tool would expose
unnecessary routing authority. A new delivery worker would add another
durable delivery path. This change uses a dedicated tool and the
existing comment and live-event paths.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the experimental Agent Chat capability in `ROADMAP.md`. The
existing `enableAgentChat` setting controls it. Related public work:
Refs #13282, Refs #13283, and Refs #14408. Searches for proactive chat
and unread chat found no duplicate PR.

## What Changed

- Add a focused messaging service shared by the native tool and HTTP
route. It checks current run ownership, execution mode, recipient
membership, task access, and task privacy.
- Reuse the canonical company/agent/person conversation. Save the
comment and audit record together. Keep task completion and chat
execution separate from delivery.
- Add source-task provenance and source-scoped retry keys. Identical
retries return the saved receipt. Changed content returns a conflict.
- Enforce the conversation's fixed agent at the shared comment-write
boundary. Keep normal reply cancellation and session checks.
- Add chat unread state, accessible agent dots, aggregate Chat
indicators, and visible-message read cutoffs. Refresh through existing
live events.
- Add the request-key constraint, native tool contracts, documentation,
capability maps, stories, and regression coverage.

## Verification

- Local delivery/security proof: all 38 proactive-message cases pass.
Eight credential-scope regressions and four quota regressions fail
against the prior source. The repaired delivery and canonical
cross-issue cap suites pass all 49 cases; all 31 OpenAPI tests, server
typecheck, and capability-map checks pass. The shared per-run cap covers
native and HTTP sends, mixed ordinary mutations, concurrent last-slot
contention, and retry/recovery without double charging.
- Credential tests preserve the authenticated person and authorizer;
reject bridge/test credentials and persisted skill-test runs after
task-mode changes; and recheck API-key revocation, scope, and
responsible person after destination locking. The earlier
delivery/native-authority suites passed all 74 cases before the four
quota additions.
- Four PostgreSQL contention cases cover native and HTTP sends plus
retries during a native chat mutation. All four deadlock against the
earlier source and pass with destination-before-source/run locking.
Recovery and human-reply delivery enqueue only the human comment; a
proactive digest never wakes the chat agent.
- Passed 108 companion conversation, native-authority, and OpenAPI
tests; 112 runner catalog/workflow-report tests; 47 completion-delivery
tests; and 25 project-handoff tests. Focused runner tests cover native
tool availability without generic API tools.
- All 327 affected UI tests, UI typecheck, token gates, and catalog
checks pass. The read hook retries at most three times, respects server
retry delay, coalesces only seen cutoffs, recovers on reconnect, and
cancels on scope changes.
- Real browser journeys with a deterministic process agent verify
routine-to-chat delivery, first-chat creation, unread state across
reload, the source link, secondary chat navigation, and a follow-up
reply referring to the digest. This does not qualify live GitHub
retrieval or model output quality.
- The Storybook showcase uses production components with deterministic
network fixtures. Rendered interactions pass for the landing, ordinary
read success, transient read recovery, and persistent failure after
bounded retries. Both Chat navigation variants update from two unread
chats to one while only Kodi's dot clears. Mobile and light variants
were reviewed. The existing Coordinator Recents label contrast finding
is unchanged; no Linux visual baseline archive exists.
- Current master's independent sandbox migration retains 0418.
Regenerated the feature migration as 0419 from the combined schema and
retained exactly the newest five snapshots; numbering/safety, replay,
and schema-drift checks pass.
- Workspace typecheck and build passed before PR preparation; canonical
server/UI typechecks passed again on the combined tree. Migration
`0419_slippery_impossible_man.sql` passes safety and schema drift checks
on disposable PostgreSQL, including interrupted index repair, concurrent
migrators, one-time owner read-state backfill, preserved receipts, and
two SQL replays. A default five-second local snapshot comparison timed
out; a diagnostic 30-second run passed without drift.
- Earlier failures are retained in the record: full local `pnpm
test:run` and broad shards encountered embedded-PostgreSQL startup,
timing, and provider-recovery failures. Thirteen selected
external-channel cases pass in isolation on the original and changed
sources; an unordered comment-row assertion now explicitly orders both
reads. The earlier route registry, native tool count, runner catalog,
and accessible Chat badge-name failures were fixed and passed full
remote CI on `920b3bb7db`.
- Repeated managed-skill server8 failures came from CI's newer synthetic
merge: its Cloud guard correctly rejected the old local-disk fixture.
Master independently repaired the fixture in #18385; this branch keeps
that repair unchanged. All 57 managed-skill and Cloud prerequisite cases
pass on the combined tree, and that fixture has no remaining PR diff.
- Current reviewed head `dc16f314739a6d977bed21cb1446d0e80a541578`:
Greptile 5/5 with no findings, Superagent security assessment passed,
advisory Paperclip Review 5/5 with no findings, and zero open review
threads. All 55 current-head check runs pass, with five expected skips
and the advisory review neutral at 5/5; Snyk also passes. No checks are
pending or failing. Protected squash auto-merge is enabled and is
waiting for required code-owner approval. A normal exact-head merge was
refused by the base-branch policy; no admin bypass was used. The
previous head's Superagent quota finding is fixed and covered above.

## Risks

- Chat remains company-visible. Delivery rejects a source task with
private-task, project, or ancestor restrictions.
- Read state uses a comment timestamp cutoff. The server retains
database precision and never moves a read receipt backward.
- The new unique constraint changes comment query planning. An existing
regression now uses an explicit row order. The migration builds the
unique index concurrently, then takes a brief table lock to attach it.
It uses the existing top-level migration and interrupted-index recovery
path.
- The upgrade backfills missing chat-owner read-state rows at the latest
existing agent comment. Existing read receipts remain intact. New chats
can still be unread before the human participates.
- Quota observation commits atomically with delivery. A rejected send
rolls back its attempted denial audit row and any first-chat creation;
the canonical warning remains in server logs, and previously spent quota
remains enforced. Identical/conflicting retries and receipt recovery
spend no extra slot.
- This version delivers in-app only. It adds no external-channel, push,
or email delivery.
- Local full-suite acceptance remains limited by the failures recorded
above. The feature stays behind `enableAgentChat`.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex. PR preparation and CI work used `gpt-6.1-sol` with tool
use and code execution. The earlier implementation also used Codex, but
its exact model ID was not recorded in the visible session. The
context-window size was not provided.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 87ae20ae65 fix(server): reconcile failed sandbox cleanup with signed absence (#18407)
Reconcile failed ephemeral Cloud leases through a signed cleanup-only absence observation when local historical inspection is unavailable. Preserve failure outcomes, exact resource bindings, retention and row-version fences; grant no run-continuation authority.

All 54 current-head checks/statuses passed. Greptile is 5/5, Medium, with no findings or unresolved threads. The 38 focused tests pass; both new reconciliation cases fail without the fallback. Isolated baseline and branch idle suites each pass all 225 cases. The original broader local teardown timeout is retained in the PR, and the full local run remains in progress.

Cloud protocol support is already serving in staging. Exact candidate composition and hosted provider sleep/wake qualification follow this merge. Production has not been changed.

DottaandPaperclip 91261d5a03 fix(server): preserve budget history for deleted resources (#18389)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Budget views show saved policies, incidents and spend for each
company.
> - A policy can remain after its agent or project has been deleted.
> - The overview currently stops when it cannot resolve that old
resource.
> - A current agent's budget then becomes unreadable during normal
setup.
> - This pull request preserves the historical row in display summaries.
> - Admission and policy changes still require a real company-owned
resource.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The budget overview throws `Agent not found` when a saved policy
references a deleted agent. One old resource prevents the company from
reading its current budgets. The same problem affects historical project
policies and incident summaries.

**Expected behavior**

The overview should retain historical policy and incident IDs and spend.
It should display `Deleted agent` or `Deleted project` for a missing
resource. Read access must not grant permission to execute work or
change a budget for that resource.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create an agent and a budget policy for it.
2. Permanently delete the agent after its other dependencies have been
cleared.
3. Read the company's budget overview. The existing service throws
instead of returning its remaining current and historical rows.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The isolated repair starts from merged commit
`d9354bbfc35ef74333e90e596ce21dc8e59149b9` and integrates the exact
merged baseline test fix `8595efc20bda3ce20a9fbbf34a5d156a6fcf6d57`. It
also integrates the actual merged Antigravity auth fix
`18b1637b6371a6a6adade857e2a73654ee626fef` (#18254). The diff against
the selected merged parent remains two budget files.

**Related work**

Earlier reports and implementations: #11058 and #4333. This extracts the
product prerequisite from #18351 so it can qualify independently of that
journey's other dependencies. The change contains only the budget
service repair and four database regression cases.

## What Changed

- Resolve deleted agent and project scopes only when building display
summaries. Preserve their original IDs, policies, incidents and
accounting records.
- Reject a saved policy or incident that resolves to another company's
resource. Propagate other read failures.
- Keep missing-company resolution, work admission and policy changes
strict. Validate company, policy and incident scope bindings before
either incident action. A budget raise requires a live company-owned
resource. Historical dismissal may proceed only for a genuinely deleted
owned agent/project, and must reject live foreign or mismatched scopes.
- Add four canonical PostgreSQL regression cases: deleted agent history,
deleted project history, missing-scope admission and budget raises with
safe historical dismissal, and foreign/mismatched references. The
history cases also verify current ledger spend and unchanged stored
rows.

## Verification

- Real-service RED/GREEN against official PGlite with every canonical
migration: the original overview throws for deleted history; the repair
returns the historical IDs, incidents and spend while retaining current
budgets.
- Mutation regression RED/GREEN: missing-resource budget raises must
reject before writes; owned deleted-scope dismissal must reject its
linked pending approval, retain policy/agent/ledger data and incident
history, and remove the incident from the active list. Live foreign and
mismatched scopes reject both actions without mutations.
- Current integrated head `b3434f5ad05fd3067379352700c36bfe826179c4`:
all four canonical PostgreSQL regressions pass in [server
2/12](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41142588583/job/124361194077),
and all five existing budget-service tests pass in [server
7/12](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41142588583/job/124361194080).
Both use the CI merge against selected parent `18b1637`.
- Clean-build declaration typing passes in the current CI typecheck
gate. The earlier local source-alias no-emit check also passed,
including the canonical actor argument. The local worktree borrows
compiled dependencies from a sibling checkout; a later real-service
import was blocked by its stale `sandboxCreationOperations` export, so
clean-build CI is authoritative for the final integration. No production
workaround was made.
- `git diff --check` passes. Broad repository typecheck, tests and build
run in current-head CI rather than repeated locally. Native local
PostgreSQL could not start because this host exhausted its semaphore
pool; no global IPC settings or unrelated processes were changed.
- One unchanged Runner lane retry was authorized after a probable
intermittent close-settlement fixture failure. The [original
failure](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41142588583/job/124360234111)
occurred in `omitted-context` cleanup. A [fresh passing Linux
lane](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41142552195/job/124360110386)
passed the same case and all 1,998 tests with byte-identical entire
Runner and adapter-utils trees, lockfile, root package, scripts and
workflows, against the same merged base. The fixture has a five-second
close allowance with a 2.5-second suspension reserve; a host stall is
not proven. No budget path or changed close input was found. The [single
targeted
retry](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41142588583/job/124365812609)
passed the same case in 1,034 ms and all 1,998 lane tests; dependent
verification also passed. All 57 current PR checks are terminal and
green.
- The product helper requires all current CI and clean review before
merge. Actual QA budget-overview proof will run on the combined final
app before hiring qualification. No deployed success is claimed. The
older `b4863dd` artifact was never deployed; selected parent `18b1637`
adds sandbox/lifecycle changes and migration 0418, so whole-app identity
is not claimed. The budget module and relevant budget contracts remain
unchanged, and final hiring requires the combined final app with
explicit source identities.

## Risks

Budget summaries now return historical rows whose resources have been
deleted. These rows use explicit display names and preserve their
accounting data. They do not create a resource or relax work admission,
authorization or budget grants. Historical incident dismissal changes
only that incident and its linked approval; it does not resume work or
raise a budget. Cross-company references still fail closed. There is no
schema migration and no new background work.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 45a3a92e6d fix(environments): persist sandbox ownership before creation (#18357)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages companies and the agents that do their work.
> - Remote execution creates provider resources that need a durable
owner.
> - The server could create a sandbox before it saved its lease.
> - A failed lease write could leave cleanup data only on the old web
server disk.
> - This change saves a company-scoped operation before creation and
transfers ownership atomically.
> - Recovery finds the original Daytona resource or records an explicit
manual reconciliation outcome.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A sandbox could exist without a lease after a database failure or
company rebind. Failed cleanup recording could then create a local
fallback file. Replacing that web server could lose the cleanup
reference.

**Expected behavior**
A failed admission write makes no provider call. An interrupted creation
retains a committed operation. Recovery must not create a second sandbox
or destroy an attached lease.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the disposable PostgreSQL cases in
`server/src/__tests__/sandbox-creation-operations.test.ts`.
2. Reject the lease insert after the controlled provider creates its
resource.
3. Start a new receiver process with a different empty web disk. It must
find the same resource and create one cleanup owner.

Related ownership report: Refs #14672. This change addresses new
allocations before lease persistence. It does not replace existing lease
recovery.

## What Changed

- Add an idempotent migration and a small creation-operation table.
Retain original company, environment and run identities across deletion.
- Commit creation intent before run, ad-hoc lease, and plugin task
replacement calls. Fence duplicate requests and ambiguous lease commits.
- Retain a known returned task resource ID in the existing operation
before attachment. Preserve manual reconciliation and never delete an
ambiguously attached resource.
- Keep company and run authority checks and atomic lease transfer with
the lease owner.
- Reuse Daytona names, labels, read-only inspection and claimed cleanup.
Keep provider payload handling in the provider.
- Retain nonsecret credential identity hashes. Refuse recovery lookup
under a changed credential value.
- Record manual reconciliation for missing/deleted or explicitly
inactive saved credentials, versions, and provider vaults. Keep
temporary resolution failures retryable. Never reactivate a disabled
credential.
- Use transaction signals and concrete deadlines. Failed records back
off independently. Manual reconciliation stays durable and quiet.
- Remove new orphan-file fallback writes from the covered paths. Keep
legacy file replay and its tests for cutover.
- Replace obsolete fallback-producer assertions with normal-entrypoint
durability tests. Keep cleanup, diagnostics and warm handoff coverage.

## Verification

- [Independent current-head
verification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18357#issuecomment-6534744320)
passed 190/190 combined tests, 40/40 incoming TestOps tests, full
workspace typecheck, and build. PR head
`958af986130f25e136065ad30d1fdd843c46255c` has tree
`e6c3e5b02182d5941a70ccf5bf55638df3c2e28d`, identical to tested combined
commit `b9d7a9c2e9b30f0153685fb24a5f70b56132201f`. Real PostgreSQL,
compiled Rust Runner and controlled object providers were used;
external-S3 integration remains outside this local proof.
- Current head `958af986130f25e136065ad30d1fdd843c46255c` normally
merges master `8595efc20bda3ce20a9fbbf34a5d156a6fcf6d57`. The sole
conflict was the maintenance test: a parameterized case now preserves
both legacy-local `local_storage` and valid shared-S3
`provider_mismatch` checks, including the parent local receipt, exact
version identity, missing-snapshot/no-seed refusal, and unchanged
persisted row. The three master TestOps files remain intact. No
production, schema, migration, or package changes were made after the
fully qualified prior head `0b4d05505e`. Independent review approved the
resolution; the full managed-skill-content file and Cloud guard controls
pass 58/58 (105.11 seconds). [Required PR CI passed on this exact merge
head, first
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41136987412):
54 successful checks and three intended skips. The additional Paperclip
review is neutral at 4/5; two external Superagent checks (Contributor
trust and Security Scan) remain in progress with zero annotations and no
assessment, so they are not passing scan evidence. Greptile reviewed
exact head `958af986130f25e136065ad30d1fdd843c46255c` at 5/5; the final
thread audit has zero unresolved threads. All completed evidence below
retains its recorded revision scope. The additional Paperclip Review on
`958af98613` is neutral at 4/5 with a Ship verdict and no must-fix or
should-fix item. Its optional observation is that a generic create
rejection remains pending/manual even when an operator believes
allocation did not occur. This change preserves uncertainty because the
generic create-error contract does not prove provider absence; no new
error classification or provider-specific compensation was added.

- [Independent final-source
verification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18357#issuecomment-6534328247)
passed all 189 real-PostgreSQL/Runner and controlled-fixture cases, full
workspace typecheck, and build. The integration commit
`c8411a8528386f4824b340ec5fdaaed1efb9ea69` has the same source tree as
final PR head `0b4d05505e` (tree
`bda65efc14b4c904d0f589154db77bb160641c8c`). Controlled object-provider
coverage passed; the separately guarded external-S3 suite was not run
because the bounded local MinIO pull was unavailable. This includes the
two final compatibility fixes.
- The first final-head CI attempt exposed one E2E timing failure in
`disconnect-write-recovery.spec.ts:181`: the title stayed unchanged
through the 15-second session-recovery poll. The same original case
passed in 13.8 seconds on immediately prior head `7ec06f77b7`, and all
UI/session/E2E source is identical across those heads. The failure log
and CI artifacts are retained; no cause is claimed. One failed-job-only
retry is authorized on this evidence, without changing a timeout,
assertion, or production behavior. [The single failed-job retry
completed
successfully](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41133619710/attempts/2):
all 35 E2E shard cases passed (6.6 minutes), including the original
session-recovery case in 14.0 seconds. The initial failure remains
disclosed and its cause remains unproven.
- Final head `0b4d05505ee0aa72f2981cdff74761406960ec73` adds two
independently reviewed integration fixes after the complete 7ec CI
matrix exposed two deterministic failures. Server 9/12 failed legacy
local-storage maintenance because the CLI reached the new Cloud server
startup guard; server 5/12 found the Daytona package version did not
match its bumped manifest. The failed run is retained at
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41131204203. It is
not passing evidence and was not blindly retried.
- Maintenance now constructs the existing explicit storage dependency
after loading the required persisted Cloud snapshot, and passes it to
both maintenance owners. It can verify legacy local storage before
provider cutover while normal Cloud server startup remains guarded. The
original case reproduced red locally, then the complete
managed-skill-content and managed-cloud-prerequisites files passed 57/57
(32.05 seconds), including missing-snapshot refusal, unchanged stored
configuration, and existing server guard controls. Daytona package
version now matches manifest 0.1.10; the complete bundled package
identity file passed 14/14 (3.98 seconds), and explicit
manifest/lifecycle controls passed 2/2 (328 intentionally filtered; 3.42
seconds). An initial workspace-filter command matched no project and is
not counted as pass evidence. The final diff changes no sandbox runtime
or schema behavior. [Full CI is green on this exact final
head](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41133619710/attempts/2):
56 successful checks, three intended skips, one additional
incomplete/neutral Paperclip Review, and no pending or failed checks.
The neutral review is not a passing assessment. [Greptile reviewed the
exact final head at
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18357#issuecomment-6529396969),
with no new actionable issues and all review threads resolved.
- Final combined head `7ec06f77b7c14a745c569d18401f16df3d26b626`
includes master managed-skills migration 0417 and shared-storage
prerequisites from `198218bf55` through normal merges. Sandbox creation
moves to generated `0418_curved_lady_mastermind.sql`; its idempotent SQL
is byte-for-byte unchanged. The regenerated 0418 snapshot contains both
sandbox creation operations and the master skill mutation receipts, and
points to the master 0417 snapshot. Master SQL and journal history
remain intact. Exactly five snapshots remain, 0414 through 0418. The
only sandbox-specific changes since the approved credential policy are
migration metadata/number and the matching test/document references; the
sandbox runtime files are unchanged.
- [Independent final combined
verification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18357#issuecomment-6533960026)
passed on integration revision `e6f05b4cf0cd`, containing final sandbox
head `7ec06f77b7` and actual master `198218bf55`: migration/declaration
checks, all 158 real-PostgreSQL/Runner and controlled-fixture cases (251
seconds), full workspace typecheck (81 seconds), and build (35 seconds).
- Final combined migration proof: fresh real PostgreSQL has both tables.
A separate original-0417 sandbox table with a retained pending row
survives two applications of the renamed 0418 SQL unchanged, with the
expected primary/index and foreign-key structure. Migration
numbering/safety checks pass. The normal runtime migration reapply case
passes 1/1 (20 intentionally filtered cases; 46.69 seconds). The first
temporary qualification harness stopped before any database assertion
because its external `.ts` file selected CommonJS; the `.mts` harness
corrected that setup and passed. Independent review approved the exact
metadata and reference diff. Earlier full suite and live-provider
results below retain their stated revision scope.

- Credential-policy head `c606d473b03709f27577a55a1dfc0b0d3b4359fd`
handles the remaining inactive-credential review warning. The existing
boundary accepts only concrete secret-owner 422 codes and exact
no-details disabled/coming-soon vault messages. Unknown 422,
authorization errors, provider wrappers, and temporary database/provider
failures still propagate. Independent source review approved this
three-file correction. No generic resolver, schema, provider protocol,
retry cap, or activation behavior changed.
- Creation/cleanup qualification at `c606d473b0`: all 39 cases pass
against real PostgreSQL (81.27 seconds). The new cases use actual
disabled/archived saved secrets, a valid disabled version, and provider
vaults created ready before normal API updates disable them or mark them
coming soon. Each remains manual through restart/repeated scans, with
zero provider lookup and no retry deadline. The independent plugin idle
blocker remains intact. The temporary 503 control retains retry
ownership and later recovers one cleanup owner. Before this correction,
all five inactive-state cases remained pending; that failed evidence is
retained. The prior 18-case known-ID task proof below belongs to
`237144fcf6`, whose helper and task path are unchanged by this
correction.

- Known-ID head `237144fcf69a249c0e0310563428c0f55ed6d55c` also
addresses the independent task-replacement reliability warning. The
existing creation operation now saves only the known nonsecret returned
resource ID before expiry validation and attachment. The write is scoped
to operation/company/original environment and allows only a missing or
matching ID. It changes no ownership state and copies no resolved
configuration, credentials, or provider payload. Independent source
review approved this four-file fix.
- The complete real-PostgreSQL task suite passes 18/18 (9.52 seconds).
Rejected attachments retain the ID through manual reconciliation and
repeated scans. A real committed attachment followed by an injected lost
response retains the same active lease and attached operation, with no
release or second create. Same-ID retries work; conflicting IDs and
foreign companies cannot change it. The initial three regression cases
failed because the ID was absent, before the fix.
- The shipped Daytona manifest does not declare task support, so it
cannot enter this generic replacement path. The dispatcher requires both
declared task support and an environmentTask worker method. Generic
drivers without creation lookup still use manual reconciliation, with a
known returned ID retained when the database write can commit. No
automatic lookup capability or unconditional compensation was added.

- Previous boundary-fix head `8ba77def151ea85eeae2db7693254db7f87673b0`
fixes the fresh review finding about missing credentials. Only known
secret-owner 404 results at the recovery secret-resolution boundary
select the existing manual outcome. Provider inspection and transient
database/provider errors remain retryable. Independent source review
approved this change.
- Secret-boundary focused acceptance at `8ba77def15`: all 34 cases pass
against isolated real PostgreSQL. The complete creation suite passes
16/16 (100.75 seconds); the complete cleanup coordinator suite passes
18/18 (99.83 seconds). The new cases use normal saved-secret creation
and deletion, confirm zero provider lookup, restart/repeated scans, no
automatic deadline, preserved independent plugin idle blocking, and no
additional idle blocker after the controlled worker supplies its quiet
proof. A temporary 503 resolution failure preserves pending ownership
and later recovers one cleanup owner. No additional live provider
resource was created.
- Failed attempts remain part of the evidence. The initial red run
reproduced the pending-operation bug and also exposed a numeric-deadline
test harness mistake, which was corrected. A later combined run reported
an existing replacement-receiver failure and a new idle-fixture
assertion failure; it was interrupted while the next test file remained
in imports. An isolated diagnostic confirmed that the manual state was
correct but the installed fixture plugin correctly blocked sleep without
its independent quiet proof. The corrected test retains that blocker
assertion before supplying the controlled worker witness. The unchanged
replacement-receiver case passes in the final complete 16-case run; its
earlier failure is not counted as a pass or assigned a proven cause. No
timeout or production idle guard was relaxed.
- Greptile reviewed previous combined head
`7ec06f77b7c14a745c569d18401f16df3d26b626` at 5/5, with no unresolved
review threads. Its CI produced the two concrete integration failures
addressed above. The earlier CI and live evidence below remain
historical evidence, not a claim that the current full gates have
completed.

- Master integration update: merged `dbff3747b8` and then latest master
`76fde891cc` without rewriting branch history. Only `doc/DATABASE.md`
conflicted; the sandbox ownership, object-backed run evidence, and cloud
configuration sections all remain. The master merges changed no sandbox
implementation, migration, or provider code. Migration numbering/safety
checks pass and exactly five schema snapshots remain. At merge head
`f5d23d4a59828835d01c150f83fa2645fb2d3bec`, the two focused
creation/coordinator suites pass all 32 cases against isolated real
PostgreSQL (64.57 seconds). Those merge-head checks precede the
missing-credential fix below. The earlier live Daytona proof still
covers the unchanged normal creation/lookup/teardown path; the new
missing-credential branch is qualified with real PostgreSQL and
controlled provider hooks.

The optional Superagent Security Scan was inconclusive on prior head
`7ec06f77b7`: its pinned PR merge-base checkout failed or timed out,
with a neutral conclusion and zero annotations. An earlier scan could
not start within 120 seconds; a bounded rerun request returned HTTP 404.
These scanner failures are not passing security-scan evidence. On final
head `0b4d05505e`, the additional Paperclip Review check is neutral: its
assigned review execution did not complete and produced no validated
assessment. Fresh Greptile 5/5 and independent source review are
separate evidence. Previous-head required CI, independent review, and
the live Daytona qualification below passed.

- [Complete previous-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41105726052)
passed at `0b5cbb763ab8faa25aa0ff1d8a405cdc0d3db409`: 53 successful
checks and three intended skips, including typecheck, full tests, build
and E2E. Greptile is 5/5 on this head and both original findings are
resolved.

- Initial head: 200 PostgreSQL runtime, creation and coordinator tests
passed. The corrected head also passes all 32 creation and coordinator
tests, including deletion before/during lookup, a failed lookup after
deletion, restart, settled polling and actual idle-safety checks. Cases
cover failed admission, failed lease writes, concurrent recovery, lost
provider replies, ambiguous transfer retries, company rebind,
environment deletion, stopped runs, lookup backoff, restart, drain and
settled SQL quiet.
- Separate receiver processes: passed. A controlled HTTP provider
retains the resource while three independent receiver processes use two
empty web disks. Recovery creates one cleanup owner and never repeats
creation.
- Fresh PostgreSQL migration and two additional applications: passed.
The pending creation row survives unchanged.
- Server TypeScript and SDK/shared build checks pass after the
corrections. Migration numbering/safety checks passed. Exactly five
schema snapshots remain.
- Daytona adapter: all 330 tests passed, including stable-name lookup,
ownership checks, deletion and the updated manifest version. An earlier
run exposed the version expectation and it was corrected. Previous-head
CI passed.
- Live Daytona acceptance passed on `0b5cbb763a`: isolated real
PostgreSQL, normal runtime acquisition through independent receiver
processes, actual Daytona plugin/SDK 0.203.0, one disposable Ubuntu
24.04 sandbox (1 CPU / 1 GiB RAM / 1 GiB disk). A forced lease insert
failure retained the committed operation; a fresh receiver with empty
disk found the same sandbox, repeated recovery retained one cleanup
owner, and the actual claimed cleanup sweep expired the lease and
resolved the operation. Independent SDK lookup returned typed not-found;
ordinary recorded-ID inspection returned destroyed. This successful
attempt made one create, one recovery lookup, and one teardown. Two
earlier failed harness/provider-confirmation attempts are disclosed in
the [live acceptance
record](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18357#issuecomment-6530313054).
The coordinator independently queried all three exact resource IDs
through the SDK and confirmed typed not-found for each.
- Complete CI-affected heartbeat/plugin warm-task suites passed 21/21
after test corrections. An unchanged workspace exposure case passed in
isolation after the prior CI shard reported an unhandled readiness
rejection. Complete previous-head CI and refreshed review passed.

## Risks

- Deleted companies retain an explicit manual reconciliation outcome.
Recovery does not retry missing credentials or insert a lease for a
deleted company.
- Only Daytona declares automatic creation lookup. Other uncertain
providers retain `needs_reconciliation`. A missing creation name alone
cannot prove that a late allocation will never appear.
- Pending operations use the existing process-local signal and startup
recovery model. This does not add cross-replica wake delivery or prove
deployed sleep.
- Legacy direct provider probes and custom-image setup use separate
lifecycles. They are outside this replacement of the run-lease
orphan-file fallback. The normal Test path that acquires a runtime lease
is covered.
- Existing orphan files still require the separate cutover inventory and
settlement. This change does not delete them.
- The schema change is additive. The new SQL can be reapplied.
Historical SQL and journal entries are preserved; only the oldest
generated snapshot is pruned.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, with tool use, code execution and repository
review. The harness did not report the context-window size.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 81ecaf0654 fix(server): bound failed lifecycle verification (#18383)
Failed lifecycle verification could allocate another test environment every minute indefinitely. Count failed host verification tests separately from claims, persist a repair wait for confirmed configuration failures or three generic failed tests, and clear it through authorized retry or execution configuration changes.

Preserve typed temporary execution-target failures through adapter checks so timeouts, transport failures and interrupted probes keep automatic recovery. Retain existing readiness, authorization, termination and cleanup gates. Document the policy and add real PostgreSQL persistence and actual OpenCode adapter regressions.

Verified 398 focused tests (one Windows-only test skipped on macOS), repository-wide typecheck and build, structural checks, fully green current-head CI and Greptile 5/5 with no unresolved comments.

DottaandPaperclip 8595efc20b fix(evals): support official TestOps job metadata (#18385)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and verifies real work through Product
E2E tests.
> - The fixed Chat feature workflow uses TestOps to select and report
one backlog case.
> - Official registration exposes a workflow-query URL and a Branch
parameter.
> - The existing reader accepts only workflow-file or numeric URLs, and
the admin launcher requires an operation parameter.
> - These assumptions reject valid official metadata before the feature
can run.
> - This pull request supports the exact observed form while preserving
source, selection, and once-only execution checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #18322, #18375.

**What happened?**
The second zero-model bootstrap stopped with a generic job-mismatch
code. Ordinary TestOps UI inspection then showed an official
workflow-query URL outside the accepted literals and a Branch-only job.
The exact first failed predicate in that bootstrap remains unknown.

**Expected behavior**
Accept that exact fixed-workflow URL. Preserve the existing master
Branch value when the job has no operation parameter. Keep rejecting
foreign URLs, unknown parameters, wrong branches, and conflicting
operation IDs before mutation.

**Steps to reproduce**
Pass the official query URL and Branch-only metadata through the
existing bootstrap, selection, and admin-launch owners. The new pure
controls exercise those actual helpers without a CLI, backend, or model
call.

**Paperclip version or commit**
This change starts from `0e15c92073a09e50df99190a37f69a86286b989b` after
#18375.

**Deployment mode**
GitHub Actions and the protected TestOps reporting environment.

## What Changed

- Share one exact URL predicate across bootstrap, evaluation selection,
and admin preparation. Add only the observed official workflow-query
literal.
- Support Branch-only, operation-only, and Branch-plus-operation jobs
with strict definition IDs, names, values, and duplicate checks.
- Preserve the exact master Branch value. Set an existing operation
parameter to `evaluate`; otherwise use the fixed workflow's existing
default.
- Use the same checked parameter vector for job and plan writes and
their readbacks.
- Report distinct fixed bootstrap predicate codes without response
values.
- Document when the protected operation-parameter ID is required.
- Align one existing Cloud-maintenance test with the inherited
managed-Cloud S3 policy. Preserve the same-version local-storage proof
in the parent, use valid synthetic Cloud settings in the child, and
check the expected provider mismatch without S3 requests. Retain the
no-seed and unchanged persisted-row assertions.

## Verification

- URL controls: three failures on the parent; all pass with the
correction.
- Branch controls: two failures and one correct rejection on the
predecessor; all pass with the correction.
- `node --test tests/runner-e2e/chat-feature-testops-api.test.mjs`: 40
owning pure/mock controls pass on Node 26.4.0.
- Two MJS syntax checks and `git diff --check` pass. TypeScript noEmit
was not run for this MJS/documentation change.
- The first [normal CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41131094974)
failed only in the managed-skill Cloud fixture and its dependent
verification gate: 46 jobs passed, two failed, and one skipped. The
tested merge included a new upstream policy that rejects the test's
local-disk Cloud configuration. The exact caught runtime exception
remains unknown.
- Three pure controls using the actual policy validator pass: the old
invalid Cloud fixture rejects, the new synthetic S3 fixture admits, and
an invalid master key rejects. An initial tsx wrapper IPC permission
error executed zero controls and remains a separate setup failure.
- The PostgreSQL/maintenance-child test was not run locally. On new-head
AWS CI, `managed-skill-content.test.ts` passed all 17 tests in server
shard 9.
- [Normal
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41133876636)
is green on exact head `b76d5dd40d7711f1b5f6b6316b1114c0aae02d57`: 48
jobs passed and one skipped. Both required `ci / e2e` and `ci / verify`
pass.
- Greptile reviewed this exact head at 5/5 with no actionable findings
or unresolved review threads.
- No actual CLI, backend, model, provider, app, database, build, or
bootstrap was run to validate this correction locally.

## Risks

The exact original bootstrap predicate is still unknown. This fixes a
demonstrated metadata false negative and preserves the prior failed run.
Actual backend parameter types and integration dispatch still need
verification. Unknown metadata stops before the once marker and writes.
This PR changes no workflow, credential, case, model, grader, clock, or
private-evidence policy. It does not claim a passing feature result.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`) with reasoning, code editing, tool
use, and pure test review. The runtime does not expose the exact
context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 198218bf55 fix(config): require shared storage for managed cloud (#18350)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Managed Cloud instances must retain shared objects and secrets
across server replacement.
> - Implicit storage defaults can select local disk or an unintended
bucket.
> - Cloud runtime settings now come from a canonical database snapshot.
> - This pull request validates bootstrap prerequisites before database
setup and effective S3 settings after snapshot resolution.
> - The benefit is an actionable refusal before local signing state or
HTTP setup, while valid canonical Cloud settings work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A managed Cloud instance could start with local disk storage, an
implicit bucket, or a local key file. After canonical Cloud
configuration landed, checking only environment or file values would
also reject a valid database bucket. Shared schema defaults could make
an omitted raw bucket appear explicit.

**Expected behavior**

Managed Cloud requires external PostgreSQL, a stable environment master
key, and effective S3 settings with a nonblank bucket. The canonical
snapshot remains the configuration authority. Invalid configuration
refuses startup before signing or HTTP effects. Self-hosted defaults
remain compatible.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Select managed Cloud with its tenant token or managed configuration
document.
2. Leave storage as local disk, or omit the S3 bucket from a raw
canonical snapshot.
3. Start the server. Startup must refuse. An explicit valid bucket in
the canonical snapshot must work without a file or environment bucket.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Current base: `4edd10804e2b42941aa2038e90c362c13a0b98dc`.

**Deployment mode**

Managed Cloud. Ordinary self-hosted defaults remain unchanged.

Related PRs: #18335 owns canonical Cloud runtime configuration. #18327
owns S3 run logs. #18352 owns credential persistence. #18347 owns
cutover checks. This PR adds configuration prerequisites to those
existing boundaries.

## What Changed

- Validate external PostgreSQL and a stable environment master key at
the Cloud bootstrap boundary, before database setup.
- Validate effective S3 settings after canonical snapshot publication
and before Cloud signing, runtime consumers, or HTTP setup.
- Require a nonblank bucket in the Cloud snapshot schema. Reject omitted
or blank buckets in every legacy Cloud file before one-time import
normalization, even when an environment bucket is supplied. Keep shared
self-hosted schema defaults.
- Preserve typed bucket provenance at the existing file-read boundary.
Accept explicit canonical bucket names, including `paperclip`, and
environment settings when the snapshot is null.
- Validate effective legacy storage with the existing resolver before
seeding. A rejected candidate leaves no canonical rows, so a corrected
source file can be imported on retry. Environment overlays are checked
but never persisted.
- Add real PostgreSQL snapshot and migration-retry tests, startup
refusal tests, and environment/file compatibility controls. Document
that Cloud always requires its stable environment key, even with an
external default secrets provider.

## Verification

- Latest focused acceptance passed 199/199 in six files (54.29 seconds),
using the command below plus
`server/src/__tests__/cloud-configuration-migration-postgres.test.ts`.
Real PostgreSQL proves rejected storage leaves all three migration
authority rows absent, then a corrected legacy file imports on retry. An
external-default-secrets control proves the deliberate unconditional
Cloud master-key contract.
- Before the peer correction, the frozen product diff passed 178 tests
in five files: managed-cloud-prerequisites, cloud-runtime-config,
server-startup-feedback-export, config-file, and
cloud-configuration-readers. Command: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/{managed-cloud-prerequisites,cloud-runtime-config,server-startup-feedback-export,config-file,cloud-configuration-readers}.test.ts
--maxWorkers=1 --no-file-parallelism`. Real PostgreSQL used a qualified
POSIX test-only PG18.6 override because the host cannot supply the stock
runtime's SysV semaphore allocation.
- Coverage includes raw database and legacy omitted/blank bucket
rejection, valid database and environment buckets, null snapshots,
explicit default-named buckets, self-hosted compatibility, and refusal
before local signing mutation.
- The real AWS SDK configured-provider control uses a simulated loopback
S3 service. It writes, reads from a fresh provider, and deletes an
object. It also reads an encrypted credential with the stable
environment key. This does not qualify production cloud permissions.
- `git diff --check` passed. Final merges add unrelated master changes
from #18241, #18363, and #18370; the focused storage product diff is
unchanged.
- Peer review reproduced a fresh legacy local-disk import that gained
the default bucket before an S3 environment overlay. The importer now
requires a raw explicit bucket for every legacy Cloud file. Six controls
cover omission/blank values with and without an environment bucket; the
full focused rerun passed 184/184 across all five files in 194.89
seconds.
- Initial revised startup testing passed 167/168: one fixture omitted
the database URL and failed before its intended key assertion. The
corrected final run passed 178/178. An initial direct server typecheck
failed because Runner declarations were not built; this is a setup
failure, not a compile pass. Integration verification rebuilds
dependencies before full checks.
- Prior head `fae1e4aa` passed complete CI with 53 successes, two
intended skips, and Greptile 5/5.
`de71345f379cecb71dbfb219f35e14f942c10a3f` then passed complete CI (55
successes, three workflow skips, and a neutral external review), with
Greptile 5/5 and zero unresolved threads. The external review identified
the preseed rejection problem; its correction is committed at
`75e04d0d77e19dcef0a8cb070b6b518f0f173b14`. The final merge head is
`19b809ea2823a6a4e5ceb48ef2c2bac4721733d6`; [Fresh complete
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41127309762)
passed on that head: 55 successful checks, three workflow skips, and one
neutral external review. Greptile reviewed this exact head at 5/5 with
no actionable issues. Both earlier external review threads are resolved
with the tested fixes. Earlier infrastructure retries remain documented
in [the first
diagnosis](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18350#issuecomment-6529964690)
and [the runner shutdown
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18350#issuecomment-6530364769).
Earlier missing SDK build and fixture metadata failures were repaired
before those passes.
- Current frozen-head CI first attempt failed one unchanged Antigravity
authentication success case in Runner Vitest 1/2 (`outcome=failure`,
1994 tests passed). The same file passed 11/11 locally in 2.33 seconds,
and identical Runner source passed the prior complete CI run. Attempt 2
retried only failed jobs (the Runner shard and dependent aggregate).
Both passed without a source change. No second retry was used. The exact
timing cause is not established. [Failed
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41127309762/job/124309181778).
- No production data, buckets, or live credentials were used. Complete
local repository suites are not duplicated in this worktree;
current-head required CI supplies the full suite gate.

## Risks

- Managed deployments with local disk, omitted buckets, file-only keys,
or missing external database URLs now refuse startup. Operators must
supply valid prerequisites before rollout.
- Required deployment environment overlays must remain stable across
replacements. For example, a saved local-disk provider with an explicit
bucket can use an environment S3 provider; removing that required
overlay correctly refuses startup until the environment or canonical
configuration is corrected. Environment settings are never silently
copied into the canonical row.
- Effective legacy storage must also pass before first seeding. A bad
candidate does not create authority rows. Existing saved rows remain
authoritative and can require environment overrides or a canonical
configuration change if they are invalid.
- A present legacy Cloud file needs an explicit raw bucket even if its
saved provider is local disk or its environment supplies a bucket.
Correct the file before one-time import, or use the existing
absent-file/null-snapshot environment-only setup. Environment overlays
are not persisted as operator choices.
- A previously stored canonical nonblank `paperclip` bucket is
authoritative. Prior normalization erased whether that value was
originally explicit. This change cannot recover that provenance and does
not reject existing nonblank canonical values.
- Validation proves configuration shape, not cloud permissions, database
reachability, or key compatibility with existing encrypted data. Keep
the master key stable across replacements.
- Cloud snapshot JSON parsing is stricter; omitted or blank raw S3
bucket values need correction. No database migration or provider
operation changes are added. These prerequisites do not prove that every
server persistence path is disposable.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

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

**Problem or motivation**

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

**Proposed solution**

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

**Alternatives considered**

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

**Roadmap alignment**

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

- Final revision `13e8af480b88ba6fea5737bac4bd81104d604792` passed full
CI: all 49 workflow jobs completed successfully ([run
41127396098](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41127396098)).
This includes typecheck, test suites, Runner checks, browser checks and
build. Greptile review 15 is 5/5 on that same revision, with zero
unresolved threads. The PR is ready for review.
- Local workspace typecheck and build passed after integrating master.
Focused checks passed: 33 execution/completion cases, 52 Runner HTTP
cases, 16 managed-content cases, 17 Studio cases, the new real-process
CLI regression, map checks and UI token gates. The CLI regression proves
inspection does not seed missing Cloud configuration. Server typecheck
passed after that fix.
- The independent-process PostgreSQL/S3 matrix passed through normal
HTTP skill routes. It covers A → B → C replacement, lost commit
responses, upload crashes, concurrent saves, binary contents and
executable delivery. Metadata listing and warm selected delivery retain
zero object downloads. Local timing measurements are recorded; they do
not establish hosted latency.
- Hosted A → B → C passed on the owned disposable test tenant with
external Postgres, S3 and a real remote Paperclip Computer. Predecessor
temporary homes were absent. C read and executed B's acknowledged
managed save. New runs used repository v1 while v2 was installed. Hashes
matched an independently checked exact upstream commit.
- Compatible image rollback to `6518b323` passed. Studio retained the
unassigned fork's C save. A fresh remote run executed the newer managed
content and historical repository pin. The actual shell event confirmed
expected hashes, stdout, exit 0 and mode 0555.
- Runtime candidate `9200e3fcb4` deployed successfully ([Cloud run
41124147876](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/actions/runs/41124147876)).
The final Studio test delivered only the unassigned fork's exact v3,
executed its script and persisted a successful output snapshot.
Independent command-event inspection confirmed all three hashes, stdout,
exit 0 and mode 0555. All 14 installations were version-backed.
Independent verification checked all 25 versions: 23 remote objects, two
bundled database snapshots, zero blockers.
- The deployed image is `9200e3fcb4`. Later master integration, the
client-only delayed-reload draft guard and the CLI bootstrap have
separate automated proof. The CLI bootstrap was also exercised against
the tenant's stored configuration and storage through the same read-only
services. This PR does not claim that the deployed image is the final PR
revision.
- Live Studio checks exposed worker wiring, admission, access scope,
exact selection and completion-publication gaps. They are fixed. Failed
attempts remain in the evidence. The full local suite exceeded 80
minutes under host contention and was stopped. Later combined/isolated
local attempts also timed out; they are not counted as passes. Full CI
covers the integrated suites. Earlier CI found an obsolete restart-scope
fixture, which was corrected and passed all 52 HTTP cases.
- Reproduction and migration:
[`doc/skill-ephemeral-web-servers.md`](doc/skill-ephemeral-web-servers.md).
Source revisions, deployments, versions, run IDs, hashes and failure
history:
[`doc/plans/2026-10-30-ephemeral-web-skills.md`](doc/plans/2026-10-30-ephemeral-web-skills.md).

## Risks

- Legacy conversion requires stopped admission and retired
filesystem-authoritative writers. Pre-conversion binaries are not
supported rollback targets afterward.
- Cloud readiness requires remote object storage. Local provider
receipts and provider mismatches remain blockers until objects are
copied and verified.
- Linked local sources retain filesystem semantics and are outside the
cloud guarantee.
- Cold reads still fetch the existing archive format. Warm runtime
preparation retains the verified-cache path.
- Bundled reconciliation preserves an installed head. Existing release
snapshots remain selectable. An older server must not replace a newer
head with its shipped files.
- No production volumes, fleet defaults, or general deployment
coordination change in this PR.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser use. The exact backend model ID and
context-window size are not exposed in this session. No subagents were
used.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 6174b4d7c8 fix(runner): allow session reset after confirmed task retirement (#18373)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native warm sessions retain a Runner owner between turns.
> - Closing that owner must stop execution and preserve valid recovery
state.
> - A failed suspension can leave a rejected close promise after the
task has stopped.
> - A session reset then retries that same promise and blocks every
fresh session.
> - This PR separates task retirement proof from checkpoint reuse for a
new session.
> - A reset can proceed after exact stop proof, completed handoff, and
file collection.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18011. That change preserves checkpoint authority during warm
preparation. This change handles a stopped owner whose checkpoint cannot
be reused. Related: #14695 covers managed files retained with warm
processes. A search found no duplicate stopped-owner reset fix.

**What happened?**

A warm Runner can stop and complete its task handoff while close reports
`runner did not durably suspend before checkpoint`. The transport caches
that rejected close promise. Core retains the warm owner. Each session
reset retries the same promise before it can launch a provider. A
controller restart clears the in-memory owner and permits recovery.

**Expected behavior**

A reset to a new normalized session should release the old owner when
its exact task has proved that execution stopped and its handoff
completed. Core must collect stopped instruction files before it admits
the new session. An unconfirmed owner must continue to block
replacement.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Complete a warm native run through a plugin task provider.
2. Change configuration so Core retires the warm owner.
3. Let the task stop and complete, but fail durable suspension proof.
Close keeps its rejected promise.
4. Reset the session and start another run on the same task environment.
5. Observe the old close error before any new provider work starts.

## What Changed

- Keep a lease-bound retirement receipt in the plugin task owner. It
requires `executionStopped: true` and successful task completion after
credential handoff.
- Accept an unrecoverable suspension error only during retirement for a
different normalized session, with that exact owner's receipt and
settled Core tool results.
- Collect stopped instruction files before releasing the warm owner.
Preserve old checkpoint evidence.
- Keep same-session, active-owner, incomplete-handoff, unrelated-owner,
unresolved Core tool results, and other close-error fences.
- Report Core tool settlement on the close error after ingress
retirement and drain. Default missing proof to false. Expose the error
through the server's Runner shim. Add regression tests and document the
recovery boundary.

## Verification

- The reset regression fails with the new handling disabled and passes
with it enabled.
- Both affected suites passed: 1,032 tests. The final 15 focused
owner/reset cases pass after adding the tool-settlement guard.
- The assembled regression uses the real task-owner and backend binding.
Its controlled task provider proves stop and completion. Close returns
the same rejected promise on every call.
- Negative cases cover incomplete handoff, other close errors,
same-session continuation, provider change with the same session ID,
unrelated receipts, unresolved Core tool results, and failed file
collection. Collection can later succeed without replaying stop or
reading the old checkpoint.
- Five real-process transport cases pass. They cover an insufficient
suspension deadline, the cached rejected promise, late tool completion
within and beyond the deadline, interruption, and result-persistence
failure. Unsettled callbacks produce `semanticToolsSettled: false`.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed with the repository's pinned Rust toolchain
on PATH. After the final contract change, Runner TypeScript build and
server `tsc --noEmit` passed.
- The local full-suite run was stopped at the requester's direction.
Full regression and build coverage are delegated to GitHub CI.
- Full GitHub CI passed on `ef0040d80af679ce6d4a130468e15f75678c1f4c`.
Standard Greptile reviewed the same commit: 5/5, zero comments. Apex
then reviewed that same commit: 5/5, zero comments. Final checks confirm
no unresolved review threads and no merge conflicts.
- Initial full CI on `00c002fd5a` failed one scheduled-retry route test
at 18/20 cancellations. Controlled cancellation latency reproduced the
short poll-budget failure. Before the next cycle, master advanced with
#18322, which coordinates that test at the first completed batch. The
separate local timeout commit was dropped during rebase. The upstream
test passes locally. The rebased run passed 46 targeted owner/reset and
scheduled-retry route cases. This PR has no scheduled-retry source or
test diff.
- No deployed provider run or tenant rollout is claimed by these source
tests.

## Risks

The exception applies only to a new normalized session and an exact
completed plugin task. The old checkpoint remains evidence and cannot
authorize reuse through this path. The original suspension failure can
remain visible on its run. This fix prevents repeated startup failures
after a reset; it does not hide unconfirmed cleanup or make every
suspension succeed. Missing task receipts and failed file collection
continue to block replacement. No schema migration, plugin protocol
change, Rust Runner binary change, or new polling is required. Tests use
a controlled task boundary; they do not certify every external provider
implementation.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with tool use and local code execution. The
exact runtime model ID and context-window size are not exposed in this
session.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip fd008979f5 test: wait for the evidence expiry worker to settle (#18241)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip coordinates AI work and retains execution evidence.
> - Evidence retention uses an asynchronous worker and a shared
scheduler.
> - The retention test checked the next deadline as soon as an archive
disappeared.
> - File removal can finish before the worker publishes that deadline.
> - This pull request waits for worker settlement before asserting its
next wake.
> - The test keeps its deletion, busy-session preservation, and
quiet-worker checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

CI for #18239 failed in `native-harness-backup-expiration.test.ts`. The
healthy-expiry test observed the file removal while `nextWakeAt()` was
still null. Subtracting the current time then produced a large negative
number.

**Expected behavior**

The retention test should check the deadline after the asynchronous
worker has settled.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the server test shard with a slow filesystem completion. The
deletion predicate can become true before scheduler publication
finishes.

## What Changed

- Keep the existing file-removal wait open until tracked work is idle
and the expected busy-session retry deadline is registered.
- Keep the held archive and quiet-worker assertions.

## Verification

- Original CI failure: [server shard
3/12](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40976031169/job/123804262266).
- The targeted test passes with its real PostgreSQL fixture: `node
node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/native-harness-backup-expiration.test.ts -t 'lets
healthy saved expiry preempt' --maxWorkers 1`.
- After rebasing onto master, the focused retention test passes again
with its real PostgreSQL fixture. The PR now changes one test, with
seven insertions and two deletions.
- Master independently fixed the authentication timeout and
GitHub-recovery checkpoint race. Their redundant commits were dropped
during rebase.
- [Full GitHub
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40984842413)
passes on `bbaa7c3c384f6c220ce2c979f0e9b5d01ddb1f77`: all 48 jobs
succeeded. Standard Greptile is 5/5 on that head, and GitHub reports the
PR clean.
- Broader coverage runs in GitHub CI. No local full build or full test
suite was run for this assertion-only change.

## Risks

Low risk. The retention test waits for the condition it already asserts.
The existing deletion, busy-session preservation, future-deadline, and
quiet-worker checks remain in place. No production code or time budget
changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository inspection, terminal tools,
and code execution. The serving variant and context window size are not
exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 76fde891cc Add bounded recovery file inventory before server cutover (#18347)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Accounting, credential recovery, and sandbox cleanup can retain
legacy files on an instance volume.
> - Replacing that volume while files remain can lose unresolved work.
> - There is no verified production backlog, so an empty installation
needs no migration.
> - The recovery owners must decide whether each record is valid and
settled.
> - This pull request adds a bounded file inventory and an optional
cutover gate.
> - The benefit is a safe check that preserves obligations without
reading secret material.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

Operators need to check the actual affected instance directories before
replacing a web server. A skipped corrupt file or failed read must not
appear clear.

**Proposed solution**

Add a Node script that inspects only the three legacy recovery
directories for an explicitly chosen instance. Default mode reports
counts. The optional check mode blocks when files or uncertainty remain.

**Alternatives considered**

A bulk migration system has no established backlog to migrate.
Reimplementing the owner parsers could expose credentials and still
would not prove settlement. This check never reads file bytes.

**Roadmap alignment**

This is a small operational prerequisite for safe cloud server
replacement. It does not add a recovery backend or change resource
ownership.

Related recovery-owner changes: #18354 (accounting), #18352
(credentials), and #18357 (sandbox ownership). This inventory remains
independently usable with existing files.

## What Changed

- Add a pure classification policy and a bounded filesystem boundary.
- Add `node scripts/recovery-cutover.mjs --instance-root
/absolute/instance` with optional `--check`, directory override, and
entry budget.
- Report observed lower-bound counts and safe status summaries. Do not
print paths, filenames, identifiers, raw errors, or file contents.
- Add one dependency-free CLI acceptance suite and a Vitest bridge so
the same cases run in normal server CI.
- Document existing owner entry points, override selection, stopped
producers, and retained-volume requirements.

## Verification

- `node --test scripts/recovery-cutover.test.mjs`: 9 cases pass. The
suite starts the actual CLI with synthetic legacy directories.
- Pending receipts, nested credential files, orphan records, malformed
bytes, temporary files, unreadable files, unsafe paths, symlinks, read
failures, bounds, and configured overrides all block safely.
- Empty or absent recovery directories clear. Source file bytes remain
unchanged. Report-only mode and check-mode exit codes are tested.
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/recovery-cutover.test.ts
--pool=forks --maxWorkers=1`: the normal CI bridge passes and runs the
same 9 cases.
- Cached frozen dependency installation, script syntax checks, and `git
diff --check` pass. The lockfile is unchanged.
- Independent source review found the read-only boundary sound.
- [Complete current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41097614666)
passed at `bf5cc7f067041c10cd0294ff26756678da943976`: 53 successful
checks and two intended skips, including typecheck, full tests, build,
and E2E. Greptile is 5/5 with no review threads.
- One failed-job retry was needed for an existing heartbeat timing
failure in server shard 4. The relevant heartbeat source and tests match
the base branch. Local diagnostic runs had 61 pass/2 fail and 7 pass/1
fail, with changing timing failures; neither run is claimed as green.
The bounded retry and all failed evidence are [recorded
here](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18347#issuecomment-6529629804).
No heartbeat code or test was changed.

## Risks

- The scan is a point-in-time inventory. Stop producers for the final
gate. It is not an atomic drain certificate or protection against
hostile path mutation.
- All files remain unverified. The check cannot certify validity or
Postgres settlement. Existing owners retain that responsibility.
- The scan does not inspect other instances, volumes, Runner delivery,
or database obligations. It does not establish that production cutover
is ready.
- No migration, deletion, decryption, or replay command is added.
Symlink paths are rejected, including system aliases; use canonical
absolute paths.

## Model Used

- OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, with reasoning, tool use, and code execution.
Context window size was not supplied.

DottaandPaperclip e54354d9d3 fix(ai-connections): save quota credentials without recovery files (#18352)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Managed AI connections keep the selected account in the secret
store.
> - Server quota refresh can receive a replacement token before its
database save commits.
> - That path currently writes an encrypted recovery file on the web
server.
> - Cloud web replacement should not need that file to use a saved
account.
> - This pull request saves the replacement directly and retries the
same value in memory.
> - The benefit is a smaller cloud storage contract with an explicit
sign-in recovery limit.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Server-owned OpenAI quota refresh and credential persistence during web
replacement.

**Current behavior**

Quota refresh checks local encrypted recovery storage before token
exchange. It writes the replacement to that storage before the secret
transaction commits. A replacement web receiver can therefore need the
old web volume.

**Proposed behavior**

Required database reads and locks must succeed before exchange. The same
logical refresh saves its returned replacement directly, with at most
three save attempts. It checks the current secret after an uncertain
commit response. A process that loses the unsaved replacement can
require sign-in again.

**Reason and benefit**

Postgres remains authoritative. This removes new quota recovery files
without adding another credential vault. Existing files remain readable
for cutover. Local-only Google retirement keeps its existing behavior.
Remote Google subscription sessions remain unsupported.

Related public work: Refs #14056 for managed Codex credential handover.
Searched open and closed credential-refresh pull requests; this change
does not duplicate their provider login work.

## What Changed

- Keep the exchanged replacement and its source generation in the
current refresh operation. Save retries do not repeat OAuth exchange.
- Reconcile a lost commit response from the saved credential. Grant
changes, secret versions, session epochs, selectors, and revocation
prevent a stale save.
- Stop creating or preparing quota recovery files. Preserve existing
record settlement and local Google compatibility.
- Document the v1 sign-in limit and existing Runner
persistence-before-completion contract.
- Add PostgreSQL and controlled-provider regressions for save rollback,
lost replies, revoked or changed authority, receiver process loss, and
pending Runner credential handover.

## Verification

- [Complete current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41099132607)
passed at `e4ed6551a707c814ddb2395a7358106b1e04857a`: 53 successful
checks and two intended skips. This includes full typecheck, tests,
build, and E2E gates.

- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed at
`1ebe75984be9bf19d518728d4ff440a2d7f3dbce`. Later branch changes only
repair tests. Rebase adds an unrelated master UI performance fix; the
credential and Runner handover source did not change.
- Focused credential tests passed: 2 files, 160 tests (145.62s).
Command: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/ai-connections.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/plugin-task-credential-writeback.test.ts
--maxWorkers=1 --no-file-parallelism`.
- `pnpm test:run` was deliberately interrupted after 17m41s in its first
general-server chat integration phase, before any suite result. The
controller exited 130 and its wrapper exited 1. This is an incomplete
local run, not a full local pass or an observed test failure. The
coordinator stopped duplicate long local work; the complete current-head
CI suite subsequently passed. All owned test and PostgreSQL processes
were confirmed stopped.
- Database tests use real PostgreSQL 18.6 with POSIX semaphores through
a test-only loader. Provider requests use controlled fixtures; no
production OAuth mutation was made.
- Greptile reviewed current head
`e4ed6551a707c814ddb2395a7358106b1e04857a` at 5/5 with zero comments.
- The captured focused-test logs contain none of the replacement-token
fixture values.
- The receiver-loss test kills a separate Node process after one HTTP
token exchange while PostgreSQL blocks its secret insert. A new receiver
then uses the existing sign-in flow.
- The Runner case rejects a real deferred secret commit. Provider
completion remains uncalled until a new receiver commits the retained
credential.
- Initial setup failed because this host exhausted System V semaphore
resources. Another setup attempt lacked built SDK entries. Both were
setup failures, not passes. After setup repair, the first real run
passed 159/160 tests; the remaining test asserted the retired
directory-fsync contract. The replacement test forbids recovery writes
and requires one committed exchange without a file.

## Risks

- If all three saves fail and the producing server process exits, the
unsaved replacement is lost. The next failed use can require sign-in
again. This is the accepted v1 limit.
- Existing unresolved recovery files still require inventory and
settlement before their old volume is removed. This PR does not perform
deployment or delete those records.
- Local Google subscription retirement still needs its existing local
recovery ownership. It is outside the supported remote cloud scope.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol`, with reasoning, repository tools, code execution,
and controlled integration tests. The context window size was not
supplied.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

The initial investigation used
`ebd05e9f4c88c66af7473db86bbaacfd1544aa0a`.

**Deployment mode**

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

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

**Problem or motivation**

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

**Proposed solution**

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

**Alternatives considered**

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

**Roadmap alignment**

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 6dcf4160dd perf(chat): load recent messages and page history on scroll (#18358)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage work done by agents.
> - A standing agent chat can hold months of conversation.
> - The chat route forced full-history mode, bypassing compact task
loading.
> - A cold visit fetched lifetime run summaries and hydrated historical
transcripts.
> - This PR starts with 20 recent messages and loads earlier pages on
upward scroll.
> - It preserves the reader's position, current questions, and draft
while history grows.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Standing agent chats forced full-history loading. A long conversation
fetched full activity and run history before it became readable. Earlier
comments also used an explicit load control.

**Expected behavior**

Open a small recent conversation quickly. Load older messages when the
reader scrolls upward. Show an inline loading state. Keep the visible
message and composer mounted through paging, live updates, and Back
navigation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open a standing agent chat with hundreds of messages and completed
runs.
2. Use a fresh browser query cache.
3. Observe full activity and run reads plus transcript requests for
historical runs.
4. Compare the recent window and upward paging after this change.

Related work: #18312 and #18323 restored compact task and collection
loading. #14848 added reopening of visited agent chats. A GitHub search
found no open PR for this chat-history optimization.

## What Changed

- Return 20 contiguous recent comments for standing chats, with a stable
oldest cursor. Keep the existing compact task exchange contract. Use the
existing company/issue/time index for cursor reads.
- Keep chats compact even if their task view previously expanded
history. Retain observed messages through live catch-up and cache-backed
return visits.
- Keep fetched history pages, acknowledged sends, and the observed
recent cursor separate. Reconcile live replies without losing history
after a send or deleted cursor.
- Hydrate metadata only for newly revealed message/run IDs; preserve
prior batches while paging. Slow-send recovery refreshes the recent
window. Receipts failures have an independent retry.
- Hydrate run summaries only for loaded messages and the latest turn.
Validate batches of at most 100 run IDs and keep the existing
issue/company access rules.
- Reuse hydrated terminal native streams when only history membership
changes. Preserve retry, resume, mode changes, reconnect recovery, and
interrupted recovery reads.
- Load older messages, decision receipts, and task handoffs through
upward scrolling. Support wheel, touch, and keyboard input. Keep pending
questions visible.
- Reserve a status slot while loading. Preserve a logical message anchor
and the mounted composer. Pause failed page reads until an inline Retry.
- Add database, route, controller, and scroll regressions, plus an
opt-in production-build browser rig for long chats on desktop and
mobile. Update design and feature/access documentation.

## Verification

- The real PostgreSQL cold-open suite passes all 12 tests, including
contiguous pages with equal timestamps, complete history, company
denial, and scoped run IDs.
- Activity route and OpenAPI suites pass 53 tests. The route run allowed
local cold-import overhead; CI retains the repository's normal timeouts.
- Three new paging regressions fail against the unchanged source. The
candidate's focused paging/window suite passes 26 tests. Broader UI
verification is recorded below when complete.
- Desktop and mobile browser acceptance covers recent-only startup,
per-frame reveal geometry, delayed and failed older pages, stable
reading anchors and drafts, Back, older comment links, and one persisted
live reply.
- Full workspace typecheck and build passed locally. The final UI source
also passes its typecheck and production build.
- Affected UI suites pass: 212 controller/history/paging tests, 352
thread/scroller tests, 26 native-stream tests, plus metadata batching
and live-cache hydration coverage. The issue mutation/access route suite
passes 179 tests.
- All 22 final desktop/mobile browser journeys pass, including delayed
image growth. The isolated second-page request proof also passes six
repeated desktop/mobile runs. A separate 6,000-message, 3,000-run
fixture passes cold-open and delayed-paging checks on both screen sizes,
still opening 20 messages and loading one 50-message page.
- Final matched production timings use baseline `aa58fa1073`
(`index-BaRiMbxd.js`) and candidate UI source `f9a26b9783`
(`index-DPWTbsFF.js`, identical application source at final head
`bf71ffd5af`). Chromium 151.0.7922.34, 1440×900, 4× CPU throttle, no
added network latency, browser HTTP cache disabled, fresh application
cache for each cold visit. Both variants block service workers and use
the same warm local API server and immutable 600-message/300-run
fixture. Only document HTML is intercepted for both variants; API
requests are real. The common API revision is `109981f8c1`; subsequent
commits change only UI and tests.

| Usable conversation | Baseline median (range) | Candidate median
(range) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Cold direct URL | 6.57 s (5.69–7.45) | 3.07 s (2.50–3.28) |
| Warm in-app return | 3.76 s (3.54–4.76) | 0.67 s (0.58–1.46) |
| Back return | 2.53 s (2.12–4.20) | 0.51 s (0.47–1.18) |

Five pairs alternate order. Every paired difference favors the candidate
for all three journeys. Readiness requires a revealed, fully visible
latest reply above the composer and an editable composer. Return timing
starts after the Tasks route renders. Cold API requests fall from
953–954 to 71; API wire bytes fall from 517–559 KB to about 49 KB.
Separate CPU profiles and request waterfalls confirm the removal of
lifetime event hydration and are excluded from the five timing pairs.
Both variants have the same expected missing optional plan document
(404) and no browser exceptions. Control recent-window API reads have
medians of 37 ms / 32 ms, with shared-host outliers up to 376 ms.

The 6,000-message recent-window SQL uses
`issue_comments_company_issue_created_at_idx` (22 index rows read for a
21-row probe). Geometry assertions retain a 2-pixel tolerance for the
reading anchor and first-reveal layout. These are local synthetic
measurements, not deployed staging latency. Earlier timing probes are
excluded because they did not isolate service workers or composer
clearance. Final head `bf71ffd5afb5684ba9105a3127f617e7adf5139c` has 55
successful checks, three optional skips and one neutral result, with no
failures or pending checks. Greptile is 5/5 with no open review
findings.

### Failure record

Early local attempts exposed an unconditional scroller wrapper that
changed the old task layout, and automatic retries on chat page
failures. Both were corrected. The original task scroller structure
stays in place. Metadata request assertions wait for initial connection
recovery to settle, then verify only the new page’s reads;
retry/resume/reconnect revalidation remains intentional.

The initial review caught a send-before-scroll cache defect; its
controller regression failed before the fix. Later rapid-paging checks
caught scroll readiness being gated by metadata after the first reveal;
readiness now stays enabled once revealed. Live replies use the separate
acknowledged-message cache, then catch up from the server cursor.

Visual review exposed a pagination wrapper bypassing existing composer
clearance. The body is again a direct scroller child; cold-open browser
checks require the full latest reply above the composer. A
resize-observer regression failed before the fix and now passes.
Controlled delayed inline images prove both pinned following and a
stable reading anchor on desktop/mobile.

The first performance fixture lacked valid native event envelopes and
caused missing-log fallbacks. It is excluded from latency claims. The
final fixture uses saved native assistant events and conversation
session generations. The live test uses a temporary fixture-agent key,
attributes the reply to an existing synthetic run, and revokes the key.
It starts no model or agent process.

Local database attempts failed during a Docker shutdown. The retained
disposable database was restored and its suite passed. Early fixture
errors included a missing conversation identity field and session
generation. Mobile test setup also selected an offscreen sidebar link
and reused queued human input. Optional announcements could intercept
input; the fixture now dismisses them before the journeys. The scroll
observer now waits for the delivered wheel event and settled animation
frames, including when the viewport is already at the top. A
concurrently running live test briefly changed another probe’s row
count; the final acceptance and timing runs were sequential on separate
fixtures. The final rig uses the visible mobile navigation and a saved
agent reply. Anchor observation waits for the user's scroll to settle
before measuring the effect of live updates.

The full local `pnpm test:run` attempt hit repeated embedded PostgreSQL
initialization failures and failures in untouched native-session
executor suites; it was stopped after the repeated environment failures.
The targeted real-PostgreSQL suite passed, and final-head CI is required
before handoff. The first CI run also caught an exact mock expectation
missing the added company scope; the expectation is updated and its
179-test suite passes. The final-head first CI attempt also stalled an
assigned child task in the existing plan-approval scenario, then hit a
heartbeat-run row lock timeout during fixture cleanup. The failed shard
and aggregate check passed on an unchanged rerun of the same commit.
Scenario assertions and timeouts were unchanged. The failure and rerun
are retained in [CI run
41116120430](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41116120430).

## Risks

- Historical transcript diagnostics no longer load on a cold chat open.
Saved messages and conversation events remain available; diagnostic run
views keep their full records.
- Cursor paging must not omit comments with equal timestamps. Database
tests cover timestamp/UUID ordering and the complete set.
- Prepended or late content can move the reader. Browser checks cover
retained row identity, viewport offsets, mounted drafts, and Back.
Previously loaded pages stay in the query cache for its existing
lifetime.
- Local synthetic evidence does not establish deployed staging latency.
This PR does not merge or deploy the change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The exact backend deployment ID and context window were not
exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 9e1735ec17 test(evals): add a fixed TestOps AWS chat feature route (#18322)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and inspect their saved work.
> - Chat feature evaluations test a real request against saved tasks,
audit records, links and reload behavior.
> - The current suite has Codex and OpenCode cells but no dedicated
runnable DeepSeek 1017 backlog plan in TestOps.
> - TestOps must select the real case before the workflow can access a
model key.
> - This PR adds one fixed, default-branch AWS route for native OpenCode
and DeepSeek 1017.
> - The route keeps original evidence private and sends only a verified
result and approved screenshots to TestOps.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Product E2E evaluation definitions and GitHub Actions delivery.

**Problem or motivation**

A dedicated TestOps plan cannot run the existing backlog chat journey
with native OpenCode. A result must prove saved work and cleanup rather
than report that a model call completed.

**Proposed solution**

Add one OpenCode backlog cell and one fixed public workflow. TestOps
selection validation runs in a token-isolated job before builds or
inference. The workflow retains private originals and reports the bound
outcome to the selected TestOps case.

**Alternatives considered**

A private-repository wrapper would need a new cross-repository GitHub
write credential. The new route uses the existing TestOps GitHub
integration instead. Existing manual candidate approval paths remain
separate.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the existing feature evaluation infrastructure. It changes
no production feature, global runtime default or model default.

Current main #18319 supplies the v2 grader, delegation queue accounting
and final screenshot capture; these improvements are preserved. Related
product work: #16814 and #17126 concern backlog handling. This PR
changes neither product implementation and does not claim those changes
are required.

## What Changed

- Add exactly one native OpenCode backlog cell with DeepSeek 1017 under
the separate `runner-opencode-deepseek-1017` profile. Preserve all four
existing Codex and production OpenCode cells and their models.
- Add a default-branch-only workflow with fixed evaluation, zero-result
registration and one plan-launch modes. Require GitHub actor checks and
authenticated singleton selection before inference.
- Add a separate shipped-main evidence authority. Reuse the existing
strict private storage, scanners, inventories and scoped AWS sessions.
- Bind sanitized results, generated JUnit and producer-approved
screenshots to the exact source, run, attempt and case. Keep failed
grades and cleanup failures failed.
- Add TestOps API, CLI and result adapters with pure controls and normal
unit-test wiring. Keep the reporting token out of the evaluated process.
- Verify the current server case result and attachment metadata after
upload, without masking an earlier failed upload or evaluation.
- Apply only the existing reviewed lock correction, verify unchanged
tracked dependency inputs and bind the lock receipt across the
compiled-output handoff before frozen installation.
- Bind the initial administrator launch to one approved workflow run
number and live GitHub source/actor metadata before TestOps
authentication. Use bounded REST case reconciliation and only the
reviewed existing GitHub integration.
- Make two existing CI tests observe their intended state
deterministically: a fake clock for copy-feedback lifetime and a
completed-pass barrier for retry-cancellation batches. Production
behavior and the original assertions remain unchanged.

The two test-only fixes are intentionally included because their
observation boundaries blocked this delivery’s required normal CI. They
preserve every original assertion and change no production behavior. The
original failed runs remain recorded, and the exact causes of those
observations remain unknown.

## Verification

- 157 focused profile, catalog, oracle, filesystem admission, export,
private-path and workflow controls passed on the current-main
composition. The existing stock OpenCode models and the new exact
DeepSeek 1017 selection are checked separately.
- 44 API, CLI, filesystem and post-upload readback controls passed,
including foreign selection, changed hashes, unsafe files, failed
outcomes, expired readback and no-resend behavior.
- The new exact private session and trace layout controls produced four
genuine parent failures and pass with the selected-path extension. The
frozen 244-case candidate approval registry remains unchanged.
- The lock guard has seven filesystem controls plus seven existing
canonical-owner controls. The unrestricted old workflow failed its
actual policy calibration; the corrected frozen-install route passed.
- Eval-owning TypeScript checks, workflow lint and Git whitespace checks
passed. The separate UI test correction was checked with the focused
jsdom unit suite. The server test barrier has pure wrapper and real
scheduler controls; its DB-backed route was not run locally. No
additional local typecheck/build was run for these test-only changes.
- Full native builds, provider execution, app/database behavior and
TestOps registration are reserved for GitHub Actions/AWS. They have not
run locally.
- The initial normal CI run failed the new-workflow policy allowlist and
a heartbeat scheduling assertion. The policy fix has an actual parent
red/current green control and rejects five unsafe route variants.
Heartbeat source is unchanged and its failure cause remains unknown. The
original run is retained.
- The launch-fence actual caller fails against the published parent and
passes the five own-run contradiction controls before authentication.
- The prior `a5aa359d` normal CI completed successfully. The complete
`f9e1f289` run passed all leaf jobs except an existing copy-feedback UI
assertion, plus its dependent verification gate. The four owning UI
files were unchanged from the earlier passing head and actual tested
merge; the exact scheduling cause remains unknown.
- The correction changes only that test to actual React `act` and a
scoped fake clock. All eight component tests pass; early-hide and
never-clear source variants each fail the intended lifetime assertion.
Production clipboard/card behavior is unchanged.
- The `2f27f3fc` run passed the corrected UI shard and every leaf job
except the existing retry-cancellation intermediate-count assertion,
plus its dependent verification gate. The seven relevant owners match
the earlier passing run and historical source comparison; the exact CI
scheduling cause remains unknown.
- The test-only barrier observes a persisted completed worker pass
before asserting the unchanged 20-item cap and two-company fairness,
then releases it for the original 29-item drain and 180-second idle
check. Two extracted-wrapper controls and three actual scheduler
controls pass. The real DB-backed test awaits AWS qualification.
- On `836e80ac`, both repaired test shards passed in AWS. The original
attempt retained a separate E2E cleanup HTTP 500 from a PostgreSQL lock
timeout and one runner shutdown. No production repair or precise
contention/shutdown cause is claimed.
- Exactly one targeted retry of E2E shard 3 and its aggregate gate
passed in attempt 2; exactly one recovery of the interrupted server
shard and its verification gate passed in attempt 3. Other passed jobs
were carried forward. The final normal run is successful. No
whole-workflow retry or evaluation/model retry was launched.
- Both literal required checks (`ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`) are
successful on the exact final source `836e80ac`. Greptile is 5/5 and no
review threads remain open. Actual TestOps registration and the
OpenCode/DeepSeek feature result remain unqualified until their separate
executions.

## Risks

- Actual zero-result registration, tenant API shapes and
public-repository dispatch access must be checked before the first
evaluation. Missing or ambiguous metadata stops the route.
- The real OpenCode/DeepSeek backlog result and Allure outcome remain
unqualified until that run. No passing result is seeded.
- One human query, one accounted work run, 120-second turn, 420-second
attempt, 300-second settled-state bound and zero retries remain
unchanged. Setup usage is outside work accounting and stays unknown.
- The reporting token was configured through the separately reviewed
protected credential bootstrap. It is unavailable to AWS evaluation
jobs.
- Metadata reconciliation is capped at ten pages, 1,000 cases and four
parallel detail reads. Missing or inconsistent metadata stops before
inference. The initial administrator launch counter must be created once
after registration; it does not restrict normal TestOps Run actions.
- Existing manual workflows, historical evaluation grades and candidate
approval records remain unchanged. The original CI failures are
preserved; the test corrections do not establish retrospective causes.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`) with reasoning and tool use. The
runtime did not expose its context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip aa58fa1073 perf(ui): restore fast Coordinator task and inbox loading (#18323)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage work done by agents.
> - Tasks, Inbox, and Needs You must stay usable as work history grows.
> - The Coordinator views bypassed some existing collection
optimizations.
> - Navigation fetched complete decision cards for a count, and Tasks
mounted every loaded row.
> - This PR uses the canonical attention rules for small count and
task-ID responses. It also restores bounded rendering and the optimized
Inbox selection.
> - The benefit is less data and less initial rendering work without a
second definition of pending work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Coordinator navigation fetched the full attention feed on every cold
collection visit. Tasks rendered the entire loaded collection.
Coordinator could also select the old Inbox loader when Streamlined UI
was off.

**Expected behavior**

Fetch only the projection needed by each surface. Start with a bounded
set of rows. Keep complete task membership, accurate counts, current
permissions, and stable loaded rows.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Enable Coordinator and open Tasks or Inbox with an empty browser
query cache.
2. Observe a complete attention-card download for the navigation badge.
3. Open a large task list and observe that every loaded row mounts at
once.
4. Disable Streamlined UI while keeping Coordinator enabled, then open
Mine and observe three overlapping compact task reads.

Related work: #17756, #3744, #17983, and #18312.

## What Changed

- Add board-only attention count and complete task-ID projections. Reuse
canonical company, privacy, addressee, deduplication, dismissal, snooze,
and archive rules. Skip card bodies, plan/image reads, and presentation
roster lookup.
- Share the small count read across desktop and mobile navigation. Reuse
the page-owned response on Needs You and Needs attention. Keep the
newest known count through navigation, including zero.
- Use the task-ID index for Needs attention and keep task row hydration
in batches of at most 100.
- Render 100 task rows initially, across the whole expanded tree. Reveal
150 more at a time through scrolling or a button. Keep existing rows
through refresh and append. Defer offscreen leaf layout with shared
tokens.
- Keep Coordinator on the optimized Inbox when Streamlined UI is off.
Use index reads for expanded project recents.
- Add real-database, component, and production-build browser regression
checks. Update the access and feature maps.

## Verification

- All required CI checks pass on
`1c68ac8957490a6c8585ba0939355f536c8120bf`: typecheck, build,
server/workspace tests, serialized database suites, and eight E2E
shards. Greptile is **5/5**, with its row-retention finding fixed and
the review thread resolved. Storybook checks were intentionally skipped;
Paperclip Review completed neutral.
- Workspace typecheck and production build passed locally. The final
rebased source also passed UI typecheck and production build. Token
gates and map checks passed.
- The attention service suite passed all 34 tests on disposable
PostgreSQL. Final targeted checks cover compact projections,
complete-set counts, quality approvals, snoozes, private tasks, and
board/company access. Database response capture confirms compact
projections do not read plans or images. All 31 OpenAPI tests passed
after registering both endpoint contracts.
- Six production-build browser journeys passed: desktop, mobile,
Coordinator Inbox with Streamlined UI off, Needs You, Needs attention,
and an older server page followed by task open/Back. They verify the
initial 100-row budget, scrolling, retained DOM identity/height, one
owner per attention read, complete task membership, 220 retained rows on
Back, and less than 2 px of return-position difference.
- The row-budget and Inbox regressions fail against original source and
pass with this change. The final three affected UI suites passed 40
tests, and the broader Inbox/IssuesList suites passed 101 tests
serially.

### Controlled production-build comparison

Baseline `b31ec0a2dc079e32272a8f618425fe92b68bbaec` versus PR head
`1c68ac8957490a6c8585ba0939355f536c8120bf`. Isolated baseline asset
`index-CS9uPxMx.js`; candidate asset `index-BxJeTQ30.js`. Both UI builds
used the same warm disposable API server and database, with 220 tasks
and 110 pending board approvals. Chromium **151.0.7922.34**, 1440 × 900
viewport, **4× CPU throttle**, loopback with no added network latency,
alternating baseline/candidate order. Cold cases use a new browser
context with network cache disabled; warm cases navigate within the same
context. Other host workloads are uncontrolled.

Readiness requires the destination collection's first visible task row,
then two animation frames. Inbox readiness waits for its canonical Mine
route so previous-page rows cannot satisfy the measurement. Five paired
samples per case; cold Inbox has a second five-pair confirmation wave
because the first result was slower. Times below are **milliseconds**;
parentheses show min–max. Paired savings are the median of individual
before-minus-after pairs, not the difference between medians.

| Journey | Pairs | Baseline median (range) | Candidate median (range) |
Median paired saving | Faster pairs |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Cold Tasks | 5 | 2752 (2542–3025) | 2300 (2275–2524) | 328 | 5/5 |
| Cold Inbox | 10 | 2536 (2283–2927) | 2582 (2117–2856) | 37 | 5/10 |
| Warm Tasks navigation | 5 | 2054 (1826–2479) | 1448 (1419–1548) | 635
| 5/5 |
| Warm Inbox navigation | 5 | 2020 (1485–2254) | 1568 (1289–1848) | 350
| 5/5 |
| Task → Back to Tasks | 5 | 1747 (1609–1948) | 1327 (1238–1355) | 472 |
5/5 |

Cold Tasks, warm Tasks, warm Inbox, and Back improved in every measured
pair. **Cold Inbox latency is inconclusive:** the two waves pointed in
opposite directions, with the candidate faster in 5/10 pairs. This PR
claims less badge work there, not a proven cold Inbox latency
improvement.

The canonical badge response shrank from **200,039 to 359 decoded
bytes** (encoded HTTP transfer: **8,125 to 598 bytes**). The compact
response also skips card payloads, plans, images, and presentation-only
roster work. These are measured mechanism reductions, separate from
end-to-end latency. Needs You still owns its full card feed; Needs
attention owns its complete task-ID projection. Reproduction setup and
assertions are in `tests/perf/collections/README.md`.

### Failed attempts and limits

- The local full repository command hit embedded PostgreSQL startup
failures and 16 failures in the untouched native session executor suite;
it was stopped. The full local suite is not claimed green. CI on the
final revision provides the broad test result.
- A concurrent local UI run hit timing failures under host contention.
Inbox/IssuesList subsequently passed all 101 tests serially. No tests
were weakened to address these timeouts.
- CI caught two integration gaps introduced during this work: missing
OpenAPI entries for the new endpoints, and an attention fixture
incompatible with the routine filters added on master. Both were fixed;
the affected 31 OpenAPI and 40 UI tests pass.
- The final revision's first CI attempt failed two untouched tests:
scheduled-retry batch cancellation and the tool-access audience/archive
race. Both failed jobs passed when rerun without changing the revision.
Their original failed attempts remain visible in [the workflow
history](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41083379875).
- Browser evidence uses synthetic disposable data. This PR is not
deployed staging or production verification.

## Risks

- New attention sources must preserve canonical eligibility. Both
projections call the existing collector, so they share its permissions
and complete-set behavior.
- The count and task-ID caches must not stand in for full decision
cards. Each projection has its own key under the existing attention
invalidation prefix.
- A row budget can omit descendants if applied per parent. The tests
cover one global budget across a large expanded tree, refresh, append,
reset, and incremental loading.
- Local browser evidence uses synthetic data and is not staging
deployment proof.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The exact backend model deployment ID and context window were
not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip ebd05e9f4c perf: avoid scanning unused provider pack trees during archive upload (#18340)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native agents need verified provider files in remote sandboxes.
> - A fresh sandbox can need the bundled provider-pack archive.
> - The upload path also hashes the expanded controller tree, which it
does not upload.
> - That synchronous scan blocks the server event loop and delays other
requests.
> - This change verifies the archive source and the installed pack, and
keeps source-tree checks for directory uploads.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Provider-pack archive fallback scans and hashes the full expanded
controller tree before reading the build archive. The archive is the
source sent to the sandbox. The extra scan blocks the Node event loop
for several seconds. An overlapping asynchronous operation can then
appear to take as long as that scan.

**Expected behavior**

Verify the bytes used by the selected upload path. Keep full
verification of the installed pack against the selected manifest before
a provider can use it.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use a packaged provider pack with a build archive.
2. Start a remote native run whose sandbox needs that pack.
3. Inspect `provider_pack.archive.verify` and event-loop delay on the
controller.

Related: #18308 adds timing detail for workspace preparation. A search
found no duplicate archive-verification fix.

## What Changed

- Use the verified archive without scanning the unused expanded
directory.
- Keep full directory verification when no archive exists or the remote
lacks archive support.
- Keep archive digest checks and full verification of installed bytes.
- Add `provider_pack.directory.verify` for directory fallback.
- Add regression cases for both archive formats, fallback, and final
verification failure.

## Verification

- Both archive regressions failed before the change and passed after it.
- 80 focused archive, selection, and verification cases pass on the
rebased branch.
- 20 native manifest and admission cases pass.
- Server typecheck, server build, and the runtime bundle pass.
- A disposable sandbox from the recorded image exercised the real
uploader and full installed-pack verifier. It accepted the unchanged
build bytes and rejected an altered proxy file. No model was called. The
sandbox was deleted and its absence was verified.
- A local baseline/archive/archive/baseline probe used the same
unchanged public build pack. Preparation took 30.673 s, 84 ms, 106 ms,
and 5.371 s. The slow baseline outlier is retained. This measures one
controller phase; it does not establish a whole-turn or hosted speedup.

## Risks

The archive path no longer checks expanded files that it does not send.
Archive checks still fail closed, and the installed files must pass the
same full manifest verification. Directory fallback keeps its
source-tree check. Installs without archives retain that synchronous
scan. The local sandbox probe tests upload and installed-content checks;
it does not qualify admission of an older pack by a newer controller.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with tool use and local code execution. The
exact runtime model ID and context-window size are not exposed in this
session.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 abc270ee4c fix(runner): attest upstream releases and bind ACPX uniformly for every harness (#18325)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native ACPX runs admit a provider only when its saved profile and
`commandDigest` match the current profile exactly.
> - For Copilot, Grok and Pi, `commandDigest` hashed dozens of Paperclip
source files. Claude, Codex, Cursor and Antigravity hash only their
upstream release.
> - Any change to a bound source therefore advanced these profiles.
#18212 alone moved Copilot from v88 to v91 and Grok from v15 to v19.
Each bump reset in-flight sessions and added immutable identity fixtures
(about 160 on master).
> - #18237 added the provider pack `contractDigest`, which now guards
Runner source compatibility at the pack boundary.
> - This pull request changes the Copilot, Grok and Pi digests to
upstream release attestations, as the other providers already use.
> - It also binds the shared ACPX layer the same way for every ACPX
harness: the profile's `acpxVersion` and the pack `contractDigest`,
which now covers the Runner's ACPX patch.
> - The benefit is that Runner source changes no longer reset these
sessions or need new profile versions and fixtures.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18237, #18212, #17972.

**What happened?**

A Runner change that touched a bound source file changed the Copilot,
Grok or Pi `commandDigest`. The author had to advance the profile
version, regenerate an identity fixture and keep every old fixture. On
deploy, saved sessions for that provider failed the exact admission
check and started fresh.

**Expected behavior**

A provider's `commandDigest` changes only when its upstream release
changes: an upstream version, a platform closure, the ACPX patch or the
Grok launcher. Runner source compatibility is the job of the pack
`contractDigest`.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. On master, change a comment in `src/drivers/acpx/runtime-host.ts`.
2. Run `node packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/grok-profile-identity.mjs
--check`.
3. The check fails. The Grok profile must advance, and the next deploy
resets Grok sessions.

## What Changed

- Add `packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/acpx-release-attestations.mjs`.
It computes the release attestation for each provider:
- Copilot and Pi: a canonical-JSON hash of the profile version, upstream
package versions and the platform closure pins (Pi also binds its Node
version).
- Grok: the SHA-256 of `launcher.cjs`. Admission already hashes these
bytes.
- The attestation binds no Paperclip source, shared ACPX layer, absolute
path, pack manifest digest or install layout.
- Bind the shared ACPX layer once for every ACPX harness (Claude, Codex,
Copilot, Cursor, Grok, Pi, Antigravity):
- Add the Runner's ACPX patch (`patches/acpx@<runner acpx
version>.patch`) to the pack `contractDigest`. A patch change now
retires older image packs for every harness. Other packages' ACPX
patches are not read. A build context without the Runner's patch fails.
- Remove the ACPX patch hash from Cursor's release declaration
(`cursor-contract.json`) and advance Cursor once to profile 17. Copilot,
Pi and Cursor no longer bind ACPX in their own digests, like Claude,
Codex, Grok and Antigravity.
- Saved inputs for every harness already must match the current
`acpxVersion`.
  - Claude and Codex digests do not change.
- `generate-acpx-profiles.mjs` writes these digests to
`acpx-profiles.json`. `check:acpx-profiles` refuses a stale digest.
- Move the Copilot closure pins to `copilot-closure-pins.ts`, so that
the generator can import them. `copilot-installation.ts` re-exports
them.
- Advance each profile once and then freeze it: Copilot 92, Grok 20, Pi
37. A version change at the switch keeps the rollout on the same path as
every earlier profile bump.
- Replace the historical version lists in `profile-compatibility.ts`
with a range. Every revision from 1 through the current one decodes.
Claude and Codex still decode revisions 1 through 5. Launch and recovery
admission still require the exact current profile and digest.
- Delete:
- `scripts/copilot-profile-identity.mjs`,
`scripts/grok-profile-identity.mjs` and its test
  - the Grok launcher source stamp
- 159 Copilot, Grok and Pi identity fixtures, including three
unreferenced `copilot-mainline-v*` fixtures. The Cursor fixtures stay.
- Rewrite the affected tests as behaviour checks:
- Each provider admits only the exact current profile. Every earlier
version decodes and is refused at admission.
- The last source-bound digests, and a changed digest at the current
version, are refused by recovery and by the backend factory.
- The Rust Pi descriptor test uses the generated profile instead of
fixtures.
- New `acpx-release-attestations.test.mjs`: a relocated copy of the
inputs gives the same digests, each upstream input changes only its own
providers, and the generator refreshes and checks the manifest.
- Remove the fixture exceptions from `.dockerignore`. Add the
attestation script and the generator to the Daytona image content
inputs.
- Update the Pi install probe and the Rust integration constant for the
new Pi digest.
- Update the docs to describe the current attestation model:
`doc/grok-native-runner.md`, `doc/RUNNER-INTEGRATION-PLAYBOOK.md`,
`doc/observability.md`,
`packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md`, and the Copilot,
Pi and rich ACP architecture reports. Each report now opens with the
current profile identity; earlier source-bound profiles remain as dated
chronology. No doc references a deleted file.

## Verification

- In `packages/paperclip-runner`:
- `node --test scripts/acpx-release-attestations.test.mjs
scripts/contracts/contract-fingerprints.test.mjs`: 19 tests pass,
including a Runner ACPX patch edit that changes the contract digest,
other patch edits (including `acpx@0.12.0` for `adapter-utils`) that do
not, and a build context without the patch that fails.
  - `node scripts/generate-acpx-profiles.mjs --check` passes.
- `vitest run src/drivers/acpx src/backends src/contracts`: 1647 tests
pass, 9 skipped.
  - `tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit` passes.
- From the repository root, `vitest run --config
tests/runner-e2e/vitest.config.ts
tests/runner-e2e/daytona-image.test.ts`: 11 tests pass.
- In `server`, the 8 test files that use ACPX profiles, pack digests or
`contractDigest`: 1617 tests pass.
- Not run locally: the Rust tests and `cargo fmt`, because this machine
has no Rust toolchain. CI runs them.
- Before this change, a synthetic upgrade check built two Runner
revisions that differ only in shared source. A Claude checkpoint saved
under the first revision rebinds under the second, and a changed Claude
`commandDigest` starts fresh. This confirms that the provider JSON has
no other build-dependent field.

## Risks

- **One reset at rollout.** The Copilot, Grok, Pi and Cursor digests and
versions change once. Saved sessions for these providers start fresh on
their next run, as after any earlier profile bump. After this change,
Runner source changes no longer cause this reset.
- **Lost "source changed, so requalify" signal.** The old digest forced
a new profile version when bound source changed. Nothing enforced
requalification: Copilot was last qualified at v47. Pack-boundary
contract changes are now caught by the pack `contractDigest`.
- **Image packs are retired once for every provider.** Adding the ACPX
patch changes the pack `contractDigest`, so the controller uploads its
bundled pack (about 16 s per remote start) until images are refreshed.
Claude and Codex sessions are not reset: their digests and versions do
not change.
- **Grok launcher and closure pins.** The Grok digest covers only the
launcher bytes. Grok's runtime version is still checked separately at
admission, as before.
- **Grok digest equals early Grok profiles.** The launcher bytes have
not changed since profile 1, so the new Grok digest equals the published
profile 1 digest. The profile version still separates them: launch,
recovery and the backend factory require profile 20. An image pack from
that period has no `contractDigest`, so the pack gate refuses it.
`remote-provider-pack-verification.test.ts` now covers this case.
- **Docker context checks** run `generate-acpx-profiles.mjs --check`,
which now imports `.ts` pin files through Node type stripping.
`materialize-pi-distribution.mjs` already relies on this on Node 24.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 75666224d4 fix(native): use the deadline for remote health retries (#18324)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and its execution state.
> - Remote Runner processes use health reads to check their saved
process identity.
> - A failed health request cannot prove that the process stopped.
> - Three fast gateway errors can exhaust the old retry limit in half a
second.
> - The caller already gives these reads a shared 30-second recovery
budget.
> - This pull request uses that budget with backoff for read-only
failures.
> - A short gateway outage can then clear without stopping the existing
turn.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A transient HTTP 502 during sandbox process supervision caused an active
native Codex turn to fail. The probe stopped after three attempts, even
when most of its 30-second budget remained. The run reported
`notification_transport_failed` and required workspace recovery.

**Expected behavior**

Retry read-only transport failures within the existing deadline. Keep
process identity conflicts authoritative. Do not repeat a signal after a
lost acknowledgement.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a read-only process verification with a 30-second deadline.
2. Return HTTP 502 from its first three transport reads, then allow the
next read to succeed.
3. The old helper rejects after three reads. The fixed helper returns
the successful observation.

Related repairs: #16451 introduced bounded remote probes. #16835 and
#17799 require proof of process exit before replacement. This change
retains those guards.

## What Changed

- Use the existing absolute deadline instead of a three-attempt limit
for read-only probe failures.
- Back off from 250 milliseconds to two seconds. Clip each request to
ten seconds or the remaining budget.
- Preserve the original error and diagnostic when the deadline is
exhausted. Reject non-finite deadlines before an RPC.
- Add a red/green regression and a repeated-gateway-failure case around
a real listening process.
- Update execution semantics and both recovery maps.

## Verification

- Before the fix: the new probe suite failed two behavioral assertions.
The gateway case returned its HTTP 502 error instead of the later
successful observation.
- After the fix: 75 focused probe, diagnostic, process-supervision and
adoption tests pass. The diagnostic failure tests use a controlled clock
for their full 30-second budget. Their error and redaction assertions
stay unchanged.
- Map alignment and module-boundary checks pass.
- Full workspace typecheck and build pass at final commit
`ddd42f66378ebc36ec1d7e0ca1f45943473561b3`.
- The broader affected suite against disposable PostgreSQL passed 994 of
997 tests; its three startup/database timeouts passed unchanged in
isolation. The initial full default local run encountered embedded
PostgreSQL startup failures and did not complete. The four diagnostic
tests that assumed the old short retry timing now use a controlled clock
without weakening their assertions.
- Incident evidence came from Linux AMD64, Node 24.22.2, Core commit
`0c70cedce9a803bdc201324528abb35e423e7cd0`, native Codex `gpt-6.1-sol`,
and a shared ChatGPT subscription. Two separate runs recorded the same
supervision HTTP 502 within one second.
- A disposable live Daytona sandbox check passed on Linux x86_64 and
Node 24.22.1. Three injected gateway failures recovered in 3.31 seconds
on production source from `e54a355fa179022caaa6854302ff56bd85de0229`
(unchanged by the final test-only commit). The real Node listening
process had one launch, retained its exact identity and saved file
across a second read, and produced a confirmed Stop receipt. Sandbox
deletion succeeded. This is process-supervision integration evidence,
not a Codex task or model execution.
- Fixed-revision hosted acceptance and recovery of the original
conversation require rollout. This PR does not claim either. The
duration of the original provider outage remains unknown.

- Final commit `ddd42f66378ebc36ec1d7e0ca1f45943473561b3`: required `ci
/ verify` and `ci / e2e` checks pass; Greptile is 5/5 with no inline
findings. The separate Paperclip Review service has not completed an
assessment and remains queued. It is not a required branch check.

## Risks

- Persistent fast transport failures cause more read-only requests
within the same deadline. Capped backoff limits their rate.
- Missing or changed identity still returns immediately. Failed health
reads still cannot authorize replacement, process signals, or provider
replay.
- Signal requests still have one attempt. The timeout budget and
execution permissions do not change.
- No schema or package changes.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6, through Codex, with reasoning, repository inspection,
and shell tool use. The exact deployment model ID and context-window
size are not exposed by this session.
