Nicky LeachandPaperclip a3e8fa568a Reduce repeated work during plugin Runner admission (#17377)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their execution authority.
> - A plugin can host Runner tasks on a persistent execution host.
> - Admission checks must observe current lifecycle state and
credentials.
> - The current runtime reader also resolves files, skills, and
connections for each check.
> - Some providers also repeat the same project authentication check
during submit.
> - This pull request adds a compact fresh reader and an explicit
submit-time validation contract.
> - Providers can remove repeated work while Core keeps lease and scope
checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Plugin Runner startup before task submission.

**Current behavior**

One measured startup made 30 full runtime reads during bootstrap. These
reads took 5.759 seconds. Each guard can resolve instructions, skills,
and connection assignments even when it only needs current identity and
lifecycle state. Providers that already enforce project authentication
in submit must also perform a separate Core preflight.

**Proposed behavior**

Use a lifecycle-owned runtime identity reader for guards. Keep the full
runtime reader for synchronization inputs. A trusted provider can
declare `projectAuthCheckAtSubmit: true` in its prepared result. Core
pins the exact configuration, provider, and project set on the lease.
The provider must reject authentication conflicts before credential
installation or task start. Providers that omit the flag retain the
existing preflight.

**Reason and benefit**

Estimated savings with a paired consumer: 4–5 seconds from compact
runtime checks, plus roughly 0.5–0.9 seconds from removing the duplicate
authentication operation. These estimates overlap and are not a measured
deployed result. Refs #17367 for the separate run-log HEAD optimization;
this PR does not duplicate it.

**Breaking changes**

No migration. The SDK adds a host method and an optional prepared-result
field. Consumers that use them require this Core host version. Older
providers retain their existing flow.

## What Changed

- Add `agents.getRuntimeIdentity` across SDK, RPC, host service, and
test fixtures.
- Reuse the existing company, plugin ownership, readiness, and
capability checks. Read lifecycle state and protected instance secrets
fresh on every call.
- Skip instruction, organization, skill, and connection hydration in the
compact reader.
- Allow explicit submit-time authentication enforcement, with prepared
scope pinned and checked again at dispatch.
- Emit fixed preparation, project-auth, submit, and connection timing
phases.

## Verification

- 72 targeted SDK capability, plugin task-owner, and environment-task
mediator tests passed.
- 33 real embedded-Postgres lifecycle and secret tests passed, including
pause, content revision, company isolation, plugin disablement, and
secret rotation.
- SDK and server TypeScript checks passed. Local Runner/eval TypeScript
outputs were built to satisfy server type resolution.
- Local Postgres required missing library aliases in ignored
dependencies; no product source was changed for that repair.
- Full repository suites are delegated to GitHub CI. No live rollout or
speedup claim.

## Risks

The submit-time flag delegates enforcement to a trusted provider. It is
not proof that prepare already checked authentication. The provider must
check before VM credential installation or task admission. Core still
checks exact prepared scope, active lease, run identity, credential
type, and dispatch fencing. Existing providers keep the separate check.
Roll back a paired consumer before rolling back this host.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex), with code execution and repository tools. Exact
deployment build and context-window size are not exposed.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 00331e0254 Connect native Runner admission to plugin-owned workspaces (#16978)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work for AI agents.
> - A plugin can own an execution environment and its files.
> - #17029 supplies the task driver and bounded setup verification.
> - Heartbeat still prepares workspace files on Core and expects a shell
transport.
> - This PR gives the selected plugin ownership of workspace preparation
and native task execution.
> - Core keeps admission, tool authority, and recovery checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Heartbeat workspace admission and native Runner execution.

**Problem or motivation**

A task-only plugin cannot run through Core filesystem staging or shell
execution. Native admission and recovery must use the same lease and
workspace ownership.

**Proposed solution**

Use the task driver from #17029. Resolve workspace and project
identities without Core file operations. Connect native dispatch and
restart recovery to that driver.

**Alternatives considered**

Keep workspace admission and dispatch in one change. A workspace change
alone would leave dispatch on the previous transport. An execution
change alone would leave Core staging files for the wrong host.

## What Changed

- Enable plugin environment selection for native workspace sessions.
- Resolve workspace metadata and authorized project references without
Core checkout, copy, or provision operations.
- Preserve agent-default and primary workspace policies. Use the pinned
workspace provider for plugin-backed project storage. Reject unsupported
Core service commands and cross-owner reuse.
- Connect native execution to the prepared task driver. Keep assigned
MCP authority on Core.
- Save exact checkpoint identity, transfer selected account refreshes,
and require termination proof before replacement or cleanup.
- Complete managed plugin workspaces through their storage provider. Use
the same check after a restart. Keep branch validation and leave
task-owned files on the plugin.
- Include default instruction content in runtime synchronization when no
instruction directory exists.
- Defer new-agent Copilot verification until the saved-agent lifecycle
can acquire the agent-owned computer.

## Verification

- Rebased onto `origin/master` at `898144f4b3`. Master advanced once
during verification. Both manual conflicts joined import blocks: one in
`native-session-executor.ts`, and one in
`heartbeat/runtime-execution.ts`. The seven patches retain their logic.
The first rebased head passed repository typecheck, build, all 862
focused execution/finalizer cases, and all CI gates. The latest head
`93e5a72892` passes server typecheck and all 880 focused execution,
finalization, and execution-control notification tests. All 54 CI/review
checks pass, with two expected skips. Greptile ran automatically and
scored this head 5/5 with no unresolved findings. No new review or Apex
request was made for these import-only resolutions.
- The successful CI workflow initially left three stale job-check
reports. Targeted policy and summary reruns cleared the reports. No
source change or test fix was needed.
- Repository typecheck and build pass: `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm
build`.
- Focused native execution and restart tests pass: 795 cases. The
account and harness suites pass: 159 cases. Workspace admission passes:
48 cases. The SDK task lifecycle, workspace API, runtime-hook, and
instruction checks also pass.
- The heartbeat integration case uses the merged workspace provider
contract and reaches native dispatch with no project files on Core. The
new-agent case confirms that creation leaves the agent in `preparing`
until lifecycle verification.
- Map validation and the Copilot source-identity check pass. No Runner
implementation or source-identity bump is in this PR.
- The first rebased workspace run found two stale path assertions and a
recovery guard that did not recognize task-owned targets. These are
fixed. The storage integration fixture also needed its persisted source
binding; the production authorization check stays in place.
- Two prior review findings required rejection of Core service startup
and cross-owner workspace reuse. The existing admission fixtures now
check both failures. The installed-account authentication finding was
fixed in merged #17029.
- Tests reuse the current fixtures. No new provider test matrix or live
Runner process is added for these fixes.
- The prior head `2db273ec12` passed CI on its first attempt and reached
standard Greptile 5/5. Apex scored 4/5 and found local-folder checks
during plugin completion and recovery.
- The completion fix reproduces both failures. It passes all 110 cases
in the runtime execution, workspace finalizer, and workspace provider
integration suites. Server typecheck and map checks pass. CI passed on
`62d8335b4e` on its first attempt, and standard Greptile scored 5/5. The
next Apex review scored 4/5. It found that a failed plugin inspection
could abort restart recovery.
- The restart fix records a failed workspace receipt and uses the
current run retry policy. A regression first reproduced the aborted
pass. It now checks retry state, retained results, and completion of
another workspace in the same pass. All 68 finalizer cases and server
typecheck pass. CI passed on `7d4016323b` on its first attempt. Standard
Greptile and Apex both scored 5/5. Apex left one P2 about lost failure
codes.
- The diagnostic fix keeps the known branch and owner mismatch codes in
receipts and run recovery state. It gives repair guidance for those
codes and keeps unknown plugin errors generic. All 96 affected finalizer
cases and server typecheck pass. Before the rebase, required CI passed
on `c2fa61c6c8` on its first attempt. Standard Greptile and Apex both
scored 5/5 on that head, with no unresolved findings. The new head
retains these reviewed patches.
- The earlier Superagent scan on `c2fa61c6c8` was inconclusive after a
pinned merge-base checkout failed or timed out. The current scan on
`93e5a72892` passes.
- The exact rebased head passes all 48 workspace cases and server
typecheck. The first local test launch could not bind PostgreSQL inside
the sandbox. The authorized local-server run passed.
- The prior head reached standard Greptile 5/5. Its first CI run hit an
unchanged Runner cleanup timeout and an external build-runner shutdown.
Both jobs passed on the single retry. The timeout cause is not
established.
- A local regression check found that a retained Core workspace could
also enter a plugin task without file transfer. Core now rejects this
move before provider work. The existing ledger test covers both
directions and confirms that the source files stay intact.
- The first active standard review scored 4/5. It found that a fresh
plugin retry could enter Core Git preparation. This mode now uses the
existing unsupported-storage error before workspace resolution or
acquisition. Both unsupported-mode cases pass, and server typecheck
passes.
- No live Cloud or provider validation was run.

## Risks

- The prerequisite #17029 is merged. This PR targets master.
- Native plugin tasks support per-turn workspace sessions. Core service
commands and fresh retries that import retained files remain
unsupported. A workspace storage plugin can use the modes and strategies
it declares.
- Core-managed credentials support Codex and direct Claude accounts.
Other managed credential routes fail closed. Other harnesses can use an
installed account.
- A provider must preserve its prepared configuration and report process
termination correctly. Uncertain termination keeps the task pending
cleanup.
- Cloud deployment and live provider validation remain separate.

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. The exact model ID and context window are not
exposed in this session. Tool use includes code editing, local tests,

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 4d8770f6dd test(plugins): assert runtime delivery by event identity (#16871)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Plugins receive committed runtime events without polling.
> - The delivery test checks that an independent writer is visible after
commit.
> - Startup baseline callbacks can still arrive during that transaction.
> - A total callback count mixes startup work with the event under test.
> - This pull request checks the transaction's specific event ID
instead.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The runtime-delivery test failed during #16604 verification. It expected
one callback before an independent transaction committed, but received
two. The test waits for a total callback count derived before startup
baseline delivery is known to be complete. An older baseline event can
arrive during the transaction and fail that assertion.

The failing test and delivery implementation are unchanged from master.
This PR isolates the test-only correction from #16604.

**Expected behavior**

The event created by the independent transaction is absent from
delivered callbacks before commit. That exact event arrives after
commit. Other committed startup callbacks can arrive at any time.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start lifecycle delivery with startup events still pending.
2. Begin an independent agent update after the expected callback count
is first reached.
3. Let a baseline callback arrive before that transaction commits.
4. The old global-count assertion fails even though the transaction's
event is not delivered early.

**Additional context**

Scoped maintenance follow-up for #16604. No runtime behavior or feature
files change here. #16605 remains a draft without review requests.

## What Changed

- Read the new journal event ID inside the independent writer's
transaction.
- Assert that this ID is not delivered before commit.
- Wait for that same ID after commit and check its company, resource,
and type.
- Remove the total callback-count assumption.
- Wait for the company startup baseline, its acknowledgments, and
coordinator idleness. Flush earlier listener notifications with a
barrier, then wait for that barrier wake to settle before the
independent write.

## Verification

- The earlier full feature run passed 821/822 tests and failed this
exact count assertion with two callbacks instead of one. That failure
remains recorded in #16604.
- The failing test file is byte-identical on the reviewed feature head
and master. Neither the profile-replacement correction nor this PR
changes the delivery implementation.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/agent-runtime-hooks.test.ts`: all 17 tests pass
with the event-ID assertion.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`: passed.
- Standard Greptile initially returned 4/5: startup delivery could still
hide a missing independent wake. The correction adds observable startup
acknowledgment, listener flushing, and coordinator idleness. All 17
runtime-hook tests and server typechecking pass with it. A negative
control drops runtime notifications while forwarding the barrier and
fails the after-commit delivery assertion; startup work cannot mask that
loss.
- `git diff --check` and the full PR diff scan for secrets and personal
data passed.
- Full local build and repository-wide tests were not run for this
test-only correction. At `714a74bf0991617c9ad85ce17bae22c533d1ed22`,
hosted CI run 39295664656 passed: all 55 checks succeeded, with two
optional Storybook checks skipped. Standard Greptile returned 5/5, the
security scan passed, all review threads are resolved, and the branch is
mergeable against master. The tests use real PostgreSQL and controlled
plugin callbacks; live provider behavior is not qualified.

## Risks

Test-only change. The commit boundary assertion remains: the new event
ID must be absent inside the transaction and present after commit.
Existing startup callbacks no longer count as early delivery of a
different event. Runtime notification and retry behavior are unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, repository inspection, code
execution, and testing. The exact deployment model ID and context window
are not exposed in this session.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 9f4a956b90 Add durable agent runtime synchronization hooks (#16499)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their runtime configuration.
> - Plugins can maintain external agent computers.
> - Configuration and file saves currently miss durable plugin delivery.
> - A transient activity notification cannot recover after interruption.
> - This pull request adds an opt-in agent runtime resource stream.
> - The existing dispatcher delivers and acknowledges its committed
work.
> - Plugins can prepare computers when configuration changes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #15631 and #16203 establish agent lifecycle and native durable
delivery.

**Problem**

Plugins cannot reliably react to agent configuration and instruction
changes without polling or waiting for execution.

**Proposed solution**

Add an opt-in `agent_runtime` stream to the existing resource journal.
Record changes at the database mutation and managed file audit
boundaries. Wake the dispatcher with content-free commit notifications.
Provide scoped runtime inputs to the selected lifecycle plugin.

**Alternatives considered**

Route-only activity events miss service and background writers.
Scheduled scans delay changes and repeatedly query unchanged state.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the existing plugin and agent configuration work.

## What Changed

- Add durable update/delete events for agent runtime state, including an
existing-agent baseline.
- Capture configuration changes, instruction edits, deletion, restore,
and managed run writeback.
- Add commit notifications and a reconnect scan. Register one listener
for configured, enabled runtime subscribers. Release it when none
remain.
- Keep HTTP startup independent of queued plugin callbacks.
- Add `ctx.agents.getRuntime`. Require lifecycle capability, invocation
company, enabled plugin, and owning lifecycle selection.
- Keep legacy agent/project subscriptions isolated. Manual inbox reads
retain both legacy streams.
- Resolve recovered instruction paths without reading or hashing bundle
contents. Use the company reporting graph for runtime health.
- Repair missed file events on identical save/deletion retries after a
journal failure; preserve content tokens and conditional-write checks.
- Correlate file audits with runtime revisions to deduplicate recorded
retries without a new table. Bound the lookup with the existing
company/timestamp index.
- Document the contract, migration, access boundaries, and
session-connection requirement.

## Verification

- Rebased the full stack onto origin/master after #16507.
- Final replayed stack: `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed.
- All 132 affected runtime, skill, connector, publication, instruction,
managed-agent, and delivery tests passed after the latest-master rebase.
Workspace typecheck and build passed.
- Journal failure injection verifies recovery on identical file writes,
deletions, and instruction retries from an acknowledged inbox.
- Deduplication follow-up: 80 runtime/instruction/delivery tests and
server typecheck passed. Repeated retries create no audit/events; old
hashes returning after an intervening commit still repair delivery.
Built-in/native instruction writer regressions passed all 56 tests.
- PR 1 follow-up tests cover valid/cyclic reporting chains, listener
registration failure, multiple subscribers, global/company disable,
re-enable, unload, and startup with blocked callbacks.
- Database coverage includes rollback, journal failure, no-op
suppression, file saves/deletion, ordering/replay, owner/company denial,
independent-client commits, and real listener loss/reconnect.
- SDK/shared suites passed 1,059 tests during implementation.
CLI/delivery regressions also passed.
- Migration safety, map checks, diff whitespace, and local secrets/PII
scan passed.
- Hosted CI and security checks are fully green at `b296405e2`. Standard
Greptile and Apex both returned 5/5 with no unresolved findings.
- The broad local suite encountered an unchanged diagnostic test that
rejects the word "private" from an error stack. This worktree lives
under /private/tmp. The same unchanged diagnostic suite passed all 108
tests in the original checkout. Hosted full-suite checks provide
exact-head verification.

## Risks

- Apply migration 0347 before enabling a runtime subscriber. Runtime
notifications require session-level PostgreSQL LISTEN. Transaction-mode
poolers are unsupported for this opt-in feature.
- Database triggers share the mutation transaction. Journal failure
prevents configuration commits. Trigger work adds a journal insert to
relevant changes.
- Filesystem publication and SQL commit are separate boundaries. Direct
filesystem edits do not emit hooks. External clients must fence stale
revisions and retain conditional-write checks.
- The reader returns only that plugin's own instance secrets. Keep them
out of UI data, logs, plugin state, and agent files.
- No private transport integration or live remote computer qualification
is included.

execution, and testing. The exact deployment model ID and context window
are not exposed in this session.
