Devin FoleyandPaperclip ec2e0d6407 Share one clone across nested project repository checkouts (#17382)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A project can attach extra repositories, and every task worktree
gets a managed checkout of each one under
`.paperclip-repositories/<name>`
> - Each of these nested checkouts is a full clone. The clone uses
`--dissociate`, so no objects are shared between tasks
> - On one instance, 44 task worktrees held nested checkouts of the same
repository: 24 GB of 27 GB of worktrees. Each new task added about 0.5
GB, and the disk filled twice in one day
> - Main task worktrees already avoid this, because they are git
worktrees of one managed project clone
> - This pull request makes nested checkouts git worktrees of one shared
clone per project and repository, and adapts expiration, restore points,
restore and cleanup to them without weaker safety checks
> - The benefit is that repository objects are stored once, and a new
task adds only its working files

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. This is the in-PR bug report.

**What happened?**
Every task in a project with extra repositories got a full, independent
clone of each extra repository under `.paperclip-repositories/`. On one
instance this used 24 GB of 27 GB of task worktrees (16 GB of it `.git`
data) and filled the disk twice in one day.

**Expected behavior**
Nested checkouts of the same repository share one object store, like
main task worktrees share the managed project clone. Disk use per new
task is only its working files.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a project with a primary repository and a second repository
that has a repository URL and no local folder.
2. Run several tasks in isolated git worktrees in that project.
3. Look at `<task worktree>/.paperclip-repositories/<name>/.git`: each
one is a full directory with its own copy of every object.

**Paperclip version or commit:** `master` at ff835a3fc6.
**Deployment mode:** any.
**Agent adapter(s) involved:** not adapter-specific (core).

Related: #15662 (SSH restores skip nested worktrees) touches a different
path; this PR does not change adapter sync.

## What Changed

- New `server/src/services/nested-repository-worktrees.ts`. It finds the
shared clone (the managed project checkout for the repository URL, from
`ensureManagedProjectWorkspace`), adds nested worktrees, restores them,
removes their registrations, and serializes all of these operations and
fetches per shared clone with an in-process lock.
- `prepareProjectRepositoryWorkspaces` takes a `sharedBase` (company and
project). For a repository without a configured local folder, it fetches
the shared clone and adds a worktree at the same
`.paperclip-repositories/<name>-<key>` path. Each worktree gets its own
branch `paperclip/<id>/<branch>` that tracks `origin/<branch>` (`<id>`
derives from the worktree path), or a detached HEAD for a tag or commit
ref. An existing worktree must belong to the project's shared clone.
Configured local-folder copies and existing standalone clones are
unchanged. Moving a worktree to `detached-repositories` repairs its
registration. Heartbeat preparation and fresh-start reopening pass
`sharedBase`.
- `assertReproducibleManagedCheckout` and `provenManagedCheckoutHistory`
accept worktree-backed checkouts. They verify the worktree link, its
admin directory, the shared clone identity and origin, and that HEAD is
detached or on a branch under the worktree's own prefix. History checks
scope to HEAD, the per-worktree HEAD reflog, ORIG_HEAD and the owned
branches with their reflogs. Other tasks' branches are not inspected.
Stashes, unsupported refs and custom config in the shared clone still
block. The upstream proof reads objects from the common git directory.
- Restoration contents record `worktree: { base, admin }` for a
worktree-backed checkout. Validation checks its shape and the owned
branch name, and every use checks the base against the project's
expected clone paths.
- Expiration locks for a worktree-backed checkout sit in the shared
clone (`.git/worktrees/<admin>/index.lock`, `HEAD.lock`, and the owned
branch ref lock). `gitCacheExpirationLockLocations` is now async.
- `finishGitCacheTrash` removes the expired worktree's registration and
deletes its owned branch only at the recorded commit.
- `restoreGitWorkspaceContents` recreates a worktree-backed checkout
from the shared clone, and clones the shared clone again if it is gone.
It imports the restore point into the shared clone, adds the worktree on
the saved branch and commit, writes reflog-only commits back into the
new HEAD reflog, and applies the restore point.
- `cleanupExecutionWorkspaceArtifacts` (terminal reaper archival, close
and delete) collects the task's nested worktrees first. After the task
directory is gone, it removes their registrations and deletes owned
branches only when every commit is on a remote-tracking ref. An unpushed
branch stays in the shared clone.
- Review follow-ups. Owned branches always track origin, including names
with dots, and the config check accepts their tracking keys. A ref held
by a retained detached checkout gets `paperclip/<id>/r<n>/<branch>`.
Restore derives the upstream from the saved source ref. Each new
worktree fetches with `--prune`, refreshes `origin/HEAD` when no ref is
configured, and strips `refs/heads/` from branch refs. Git commands on
the shared clone run with hooks disabled. The worktree `gitdir` pointer
is read through a bounded, non-following, non-blocking handle, and more
than 64 owned branches stop the proof before reflog reads.
- Docs: new "Nested project repository worktrees" section in
`doc/recoverable-disk-cleanup.md`, and updates in `doc/DEVELOPING.md`.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r --filter "./packages/**" build`, then `pnpm run typecheck` in
`server/`: passes.
- `pnpm exec vitest run` in `server/` for `git-workspace-expiration`,
`git-reproducible-managed-checkouts`, `git-workspace-contents`,
`git-restore-point*`, `heartbeat-project-repositories`,
`execution-workspaces-service`, `execution-workspaces-routes`,
`execution-workspace-compaction`, `workspace-compaction`,
`heartbeat-git-restore-point-resume`, `managed-repository-checkout`,
`task-workspace-repositories*`, `native-workspace-sync*`,
`heartbeat-managed-clone-credentials`,
`services/heartbeat/workspace-preparation`,
`project-repositories-persistence`, `git-workspace-base-storage`,
`agent-directory-probe`, `workspace-runtime`,
`workspace-preparation-history` and `native-completion-feedback`: 866
passed, 2 failed. The 2 failures are in `workspace-runtime.test.ts`
(`rejects explicit main on a master-only remote...` and `does not
diagnose a missing remote branch...`). They fail the same way on
unmodified `master` on this machine.
- New tests (embedded Postgres, real git repositories) in
`git-workspace-expiration.test.ts`, section "nested checkouts as
worktrees of a shared base":
- Two tasks get worktrees of one shared clone. `--git-common-dir` points
to it, each task has a distinct `paperclip/<id>/main` branch, upstream
is `origin/main` and the remote is the repository URL.
- Concurrent preparation of three tasks succeeds, and preparation waits
while the shared clone lock is held.
- A legacy standalone clone is still adopted, and no shared clone is
created for it.
- Expiring a clean nested worktree removes only its registration and
branch. The sibling worktree and branch stay. Reopening recreates the
worktree from the shared clone on the same branch and commit, with its
local settings.
  - Reopening clones a deleted shared clone again.
- Unpushed commits and uncommitted files block plain expiration, are
saved in a restore point and are restored exactly.
- Reflog-only history is saved and written back into the restored HEAD
reflog, and it survives `gc --prune=now` of the shared clone.
- Stashes, a checked-out branch outside the worktree's prefix, and
unpushed owned branches or owned reflog entries outside HEAD history
block expiration.
- Another task's unpushed branch does not block, and it stays after
expiration.
- A worktree of a foreign clone at the nested path is rejected by
preparation and by the prover.
- Expiration locks in the shared clone are recovered after a process
exit.
- Deleting a task removes only its nested registrations, keeps its
unpushed branch and deletes the sibling's pushed branch when the sibling
is deleted.
- Follow-up tests: dotted branch tracking, a ref switched away and back
with a retained checkout, a changed remote default branch, a renumbered
branch restored next to a same-named remote branch, a fully qualified
branch ref after the remote advances, a branch deleted upstream, planted
`post-checkout` and `reference-transaction` hooks, more than 64 owned
branches, and a FIFO, oversized or symlinked `gitdir` pointer. Each fix
was mutation-checked.
- `heartbeat-project-repositories.test.ts`: a repository-URL-only
sibling is now a worktree of the shared clone on an owned branch, and
its detached copy is still a valid checkout after its repository leaves
the project. In `workspace-preparation.test.ts`, the publication guard
now runs before any worktree exists.
- Mutation checks. I reverted one guard at a time and confirmed that a
test fails: the owned-HEAD check, the owned-branch check in restore
point mode, the owned-reflog check, the shared-clone identity check, the
pushed-only branch deletion on cleanup, the cleanup release hook, the
registration removal on expiration, the reflog-only history write-back
on restore, and the shared clone lock. The owned-branch-tip check alone
is also covered by the owned-reflog check, so removing only one of the
two keeps the tests green.
- Not run: the full server test suite, the UI and e2e suites, and a live
instance migration.

## Risks

- Behavior change for agents: a nested checkout of a URL-only repository
is now on `paperclip/<id>/<branch>`, not `<branch>`. `git pull` and `git
status` work as before. A plain `git push` now fails because the branch
names differ. Agents must push with an explicit destination, for example
`git push origin HEAD:<branch>`. Branches in the shared clone are
visible to all tasks of the project, like main task worktree branches.
- Agent-created branches outside the worktree's prefix, stashes, and
local config live in the shared clone. Stashes and custom config block
expiration of every worktree of that clone (fail-closed). Other branches
stay in the shared clone after a task is deleted.
- The shared clone is the managed project checkout for that repository
URL. Fetches into it update its remote-tracking refs. A concurrent
restore point capture of a sibling can then roll back and retry on the
next sweep.
- The base lock is per process. Across processes, git's own ref and
index locks apply.
- No migration in this PR. Existing standalone nested clones keep their
disk use until their tasks are removed or expired. A safe migration
helper is a follow-up. Task repositories (`task-repo-*`) and configured
local-folder copies stay standalone clones.
- Restoration recipes now can carry `contents.checkouts[].worktree`. An
older server rejects such a recipe as invalid (fail-closed) and does not
restore without it.

## Model Used

Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), 1M context, through Claude Code
with tool use (shell, file editing, test execution).

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 6d44b80a5e feat: expire closed git worktrees with unsaved work behind restore points (#17248)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Git cache expiration removes a closed issue's worktree only when the
remote can reproduce it exactly
> - Most closed worktrees hold unpushed commits or uncommitted files, so
they are kept forever and disks fill up
> - #17238 added restore points (an encrypted save of exactly what the
remote cannot reproduce) and #17241 added their lifecycle
> - This pull request lets expiration remove those worktrees after
saving a restore point, and restores them exactly when the work resumes
> - The benefit is bounded disk use for closed work without losing
anything a user could need, behind a setting that is off by default

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17238, #17241. Bug report described in-PR (bug report template).

**What happened?**
With `PAPERCLIP_GIT_CACHE_EXPIRATION_ENABLED=true` and dry run off, one
instance's last 111 expiration checks removed nothing:

| Skip reason | Checks |
|---|---|
| `dirty_or_untracked_files` | 39 |
| `unpushed_managed_checkout` | 32 |
| `live_or_unresolved_consumer` | 21 |
| `unique_ignored_files` | 9 |
| commit not on the remote | 10 |

Without expiration, the terminal workspace reaper archives only merged,
clean worktrees. Closed issues' worktrees therefore accumulate without
bound.

**Expected behavior**
A closed worktree whose only obstacle is unsaved work can be removed
after that work is saved, and restored exactly if the issue is reopened
or work resumes.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Close an issue whose worktree has an unpushed commit or an
uncommitted file.
2. Enable git cache expiration with dry run off.
3. The worktree is never removed.

**Paperclip version or commit:** `master` at 12bb7e1976.
**Deployment mode:** any.
**Agent adapter(s) involved:** not adapter-specific (core).

## What Changed

**Expiration** (`server/src/services/git-workspace-expiration.ts`):
- **When it applies:** with `PAPERCLIP_GIT_RESTORE_POINTS_ENABLED=true`
(default `false`), a worktree that fails the reproducibility check for a
relaxable reason is reconsidered once its issue tree has been closed for
`PAPERCLIP_GIT_RESTORE_POINT_TERMINAL_DELAY_DAYS` (default `3`). The
relaxable reasons are uncommitted or untracked files, a commit not on
the remote, reflog or `ORIG_HEAD` history, and ignored `.env` files. A
leftover `COMMIT_EDITMSG` still blocks expiration unless it matches a
commit in the worktree's reflog, because restore points do not save
draft messages.
- **What still blocks:** a relaxed inspection
(`inspectGitCacheRecipeForRestorePoint`) keeps every other check. Nested
managed checkouts, submodules, special git state, local config and other
unique ignored files still prevent expiration.
- **Capture:** inside the existing source and lifecycle locks, a restore
point is captured with the #17238 library against a remote-verified
boundary (the `HEAD` itself, or its merge base with `origin/HEAD`), then
encrypted, uploaded, read back and hash-checked
(`git-restore-point-storage.ts`).
- **Commit before touching disk:** it is activated in the #17241 table
in the same transaction that archives the workspace with a
`paperclip.git-cache-restoration.v2` recipe referencing it, still before
anything on disk is touched.
- **Final check:** under the file locks, the worktree must still match
the captured snapshot (`HEAD`, index, working tree, modes). Otherwise
the existing rollback runs. The rollback now also drops the restore
point reference and returns the recipe to v1, so a later restore can
never apply a stale restore point over the live worktree; the stored
restore point is marked superseded.
- **Failure paths:** the `pending` row is inserted in a transaction that
first registers a `git-restore-points` notification. If the upload or
read-back fails, the row is marked `superseded` so retention deletes any
uploaded object. Nothing is deleted from disk.
- **Encryption key:** restore points are refused
(`restore_point_key_not_durable`) on `s3` storage unless the secrets
master key comes from `PAPERCLIP_SECRETS_MASTER_KEY`.
- **Dry run** reports `restorePoint: true` candidates without storing
anything.

**Restore** (`git-workspace-restoration.ts`, `workspace-runtime.ts`,
`execution-workspaces.ts`):
- **Recipe versions:** `readGitCacheRestoration` and
`savedGitWorkspaceRestoration` accept v1 without a restore point, or v2
with a valid one. Older servers reject v2 instead of restoring the
commit without the saved work.
- **Before the saved commit is needed:** reopening
(`restoreGitCacheBase`) and the runtime path import the bundle when the
saved commit is missing locally.
- **After the worktree is re-added:** the runtime always imports the
bundle, so history-only commits are present again as objects even when
the base was rebuilt (they are not recreated as branches), then applies
the restore point, verifies the result, and records `appliedAt`. Reopen
persists that through a callback, as it already does for saved contents.
- **Never overwriting:** a worktree that already matches is only marked
applied. A worktree that diverged from the saved commit's clean state is
never overwritten; the restore fails closed and can be retried. Missing,
corrupt or expired restore points also fail closed.

**Retention:** the #17241 worker's expiry hook now marks the recipe's
restore point expired before its object is deleted.

**Config and docs:**
- `server/src/config.ts` adds the two settings;
`doc/recoverable-disk-cleanup.md` and `doc/DEVELOPING.md` describe them.
- No code comments were added.

**Not in this PR (follow-ups):**
- workspaces with nested `.paperclip-repositories` checkouts;
- removing idle worktrees of issues that are still open;
- starting a fresh workspace with a warning when a restore point has
expired.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/git-restore-point-expiration.test.ts` (in `server/`): 12
passed, with real repositories and embedded Postgres. The cases:
- **Round trip:** an unpushed commit, staged and unstaged edits of one
file, a deletion, and an untracked file are restored exactly on reopen,
`.env` is dropped, and the restore point is active. Restoring through
the runtime path works the same way, and a later run never re-applies
over newer work.
- **Kept:** a worktree that is not yet due, one with the feature
disabled (today's skip reason), and one whose encryption key is not
durable.
- **Change after capture:** rolls back, keeps the worktree, returns the
recipe to v1 and supersedes the restore point.
- **Missing restore point:** fails closed, keeps the row archived and
unapplied, and fails closed again on retry.
  - **Dry run:** stores nothing.
  - **Reproducible worktrees:** expire as before, with a v1 recipe.
- **History-only commits:** reopen imports them even after they are
pruned from the base.
  - **Draft messages:** a draft commit message keeps the worktree.
- **Upload failure:** a failed upload marks the pending restore point
for cleanup and keeps the worktree.
- **Mutation checks:** each of these fails at least one case:
  - removing the pre-deletion snapshot check;
  - keeping the restore point reference on rollback;
  - removing the runtime apply;
- removing the re-apply guard (the divergence check then fails closed
instead of overwriting);
- skipping the import for a matching worktree, relaxing the draft
message guard, or not marking a failed upload's row.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/git-restore-point-expiration-config.test.ts`: 5 passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run git-workspace-expiration git-workspace-contents
git-restore-point workspace-runtime execution-workspaces` (in
`server/`): 529 passed on the first revision. Two
`workspace-runtime.test.ts` cases about remote base refs fail, and they
also fail on unmodified `master` on this machine. After the review
fixes, the expiration, contents, restore point and execution workspace
suites passed again: 222 tests.
- `pnpm run typecheck` (in `server/`): pass.
- The server builds, the runtime bundle builds, and
`scripts/server-boot-smoke.sh node server/dist-runtime/index.mjs`
reaches healthy.

## Risks

- **Off by default:** nothing changes unless both
`PAPERCLIP_GIT_CACHE_EXPIRATION_ENABLED=true` and
`PAPERCLIP_GIT_RESTORE_POINTS_ENABLED=true` are set. Roll out with
`PAPERCLIP_GIT_CACHE_EXPIRATION_DRY_RUN=true` first to see which
worktrees would receive restore points.
- **Data at rest:** restore points contain source and uncommitted files,
encrypted with keys wrapped by the instance secrets key. Losing that key
makes them unrecoverable, which is why `s3` storage requires an
environment-provided key. Untracked `.env` files are not stored.
- **Interrupted apply:** a crash in the middle of applying a restore
point leaves a worktree that neither matches the restore point nor is
clean. The restore then fails closed rather than overwriting it, and an
operator must reset that worktree to retry.
- **Rollback:** disable the setting. Already-expired worktrees keep
their v2 recipes and restore points, so reverting the code would leave
those recipes unreadable until restored by a server with this change.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), 1M context, through Claude Code
with tool use (shell, file edits, tests, local server builds and boots,
read-only measurements on live instances).

eece07a747 fix: repair the complete projectless repository setup chain (#17088)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage agents that do useful work.
> - A projectless task can prepare an authorized repository in its
retained workspace.
> - Setup must hand work to a later run without user supervision.
> - Real task attempts exposed gaps across admission, completion, and
queue dispatch.
> - A successful provider exit did not prove that the requested result
was delivered.
> - This PR repairs the existing lifecycle and checks the complete
repository journey.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17047. This PR includes the preserved repairs from #17049, #17052,
and #17082.

**What happened?**

A projectless native task could stop after requesting a repository. It
could also continue through a timer or generic recovery path and lose
its saved conversation lineage. The latest real Codex and Claude
attempts delivered correct files, but the native continuation had been
folded into the finishing predecessor. Both attempts remain failed
measurements.

**Expected behavior**

Prepare the authorized repository, retain the original context, and
dispatch one saved continuation after its predecessor finishes. Deliver
the verified result in the originating conversation. Stop, current
access, approval, and real blocker rules remain authoritative.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the explicit automatic-repository suite for native Codex or Claude.
Inspect the downloaded result, original context artifact, both committed
run records, and continuation receipts. The suite uses one attempt and
does not widen the default paid selection.

## What Changed

- Resolve the retained local-board identity through current company
membership and workspace authority.
- Prepare required source dependencies before the isolated server
imports native tool authority.
- Explain the saved repository continuation in production completion
tools. Correct only the exact pending-checkout blocker backed by a live
receipt. Reject an unfinished response wait without a real response
source.
- Preserve the persisted task-session workspace source and its explicit
absence of root repository context. Permit Git's exact no-repository
result only for a validated plain task directory. Keep other Git errors
and linked metadata strict.
- Revalidate server-resolved same-agent continuation values against
current ownership and the saved kind, summary, and key. Carry this shape
through the internal bridge schema. Keep provider-facing schemas
restrictive.
- Preserve terminal result authority after a correlated successful
controller response. Controller rejection creates no result authority.
Bind the shared guidance and transport source in Copilot v55 and
preserve historical identities.
- Admit native status wakes with the existing no-coalescing contract.
The existing deferred queue retains a distinct future dispatch instead
of retagging the finishing run.
- Recover deferred conversation lineage through the actual admitted
dispatch. Accept a null outbox run binding only with matching decision,
effect, dispatch actor, idempotency, task, company, agent, and requester
evidence. Reject a conflicting nonnull binding.
- Independently grade retained random context, actual checkout bytes and
HEAD, accessible output, distinct continuation receipts, and admission
order.

## Verification

- Real database and Git regressions fail before their repairs. Prior
focused cohorts cover local-board authority, optional repository waits,
plain task directories, and first/reused workspace provenance.
- The new valid decision/effect-backed assembled-heartbeat regression
reproduces coalescing into its active predecessor before the queue
repair. With the repair, it dispatches one successor after the
predecessor finishes. Duplicate sweeps create no extra run.
- The deferred-outbox conversation regression fails before its repair.
The repaired test also rejects a conflicting predecessor binding.
- The current queue, continuation, publication, cancellation,
stale-admission, and domain cohort passes 344 checks across 11 suites.
Server and Product E2E typechecks pass. The strengthened
automatic-repository oracle passes 34 calibration checks.
- Three omitted/null/resolved forms pass through the compiled Rust
runner and controlled provider. The prior shared bridge cohort passes
492 TypeScript checks and 399 Rust core checks. Runner source identity,
TypeScript, Rust formatting, and locked Rust typechecks pass.
- Six real local development cells passed ordinary repository,
conversion, and necessary-question journeys. Independent artifacts and
rendered question/result evidence agree. They do not qualify staging or
Slack.
- Both latest automatic-repository attempts delivered correct files but
failed the strict continuation check. They remain failures. A fresh
replay of this queue repair is pending.
- On the combined candidate `380047f4b923807a8c4f7ef6016e4fe130ab4a3a`,
`pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass. Product E2E support passes
3,525 checks with two existing skips, plus 128 source checks. The
complete local `pnpm test:run` is running and is not yet a pass.
- The first replay selection failed catalog validation due to an
operator profile-ID error. A second selection used the wrong
default-model suite and was cancelled before any provider job existed.
Both setup attempts remain recorded. The corrected campaign selects the
recorded GPT-6.1 and Opus 5.5 models plus the local Stop/resume journey.
- Exact-head CI, review, and deployment acceptance remain pending.
GitHub reports delayed PR updates and webhook delivery; the current head
and checks have now propagated. No earlier-head green badge establishes
acceptance of this commit.

## Risks

This changes several boundaries of repository setup. Full product and
deployment acceptance remain required. The queue uses the existing
deferred admission and delivery contracts. Batch deduplication remains
in place. The provenance repair requires the actual bound dispatch and
does not grant publication authority. Current authorization is still
checked at publication. No accepted provider result is rewritten, and
completed provider work is not rerun to repair persistence or delivery.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository tools and code execution.
The runtime does not expose its exact deployment ID or context-window
size. Those values are not inferred.

DottaandPaperclip c6ee96a3df fix: stop idle MCP event polling (#17036)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - MCP task subscriptions and Dot mailboxes notify external clients
when work changes.
> - Their delivery workers queried SQL every two seconds, including when
no work existed.
> - Those queries prevent idle databases from becoming quiet across many
hosted instances.
> - Existing activity, mailbox, subscription, and delivery records
already preserve the work.
> - This pull request uses committed-write signals and saved retry
deadlines to drive delivery.
> - Idle subscriptions become quiet while startup, retry, drain, and
shutdown recovery remain supported.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related sleep migrations: #15625, #17000, #17008. Searched open PRs and
issues for MCP event sleep/polling work; no duplicate found.

**What happened?**

Each public MCP and Dot event service started a two-second interval. It
checked settings, scanned subscriptions, created delivery receipts,
cleaned expired records, and attempted delivery even without changes.

**Expected behavior**

An empty or subscribed-but-idle service produces no recurring SQL or
network traffic. Committed events trigger prompt delivery. Only
unfinished work retains a retry deadline.

**Steps to reproduce**

Configure a public MCP origin and start the server. Observe recurring
settings queries with MCP disabled, or subscription/queue queries with
it enabled. No incoming task changes are required.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Initially inspected master at
`8b4ab65b1c3d863d282752e83307943720a5c85c`; rebased onto `c2daf906d9`
after master advanced. The only conflict was overlapping imports in the
heartbeat queue; both were preserved.

## What Changed

- Register separate MCP and Dot workers with the existing delivery
coordinator. Remove both unconditional intervals.
- Notify from committed activity, comment, mailbox, subscription, and
experimental-settings writes. Centralize comment insertion in one small
helper so normal callers do not manage recovery state.
- Preserve outer transaction ownership, uncertainty reconciliation, and
requests deferred during drain or standby.
- Restore delivery retry/abandoned-claim deadlines on startup. Scan
subscriptions in pages of 20; drain full source and delivery batches
without another external event. Scope subscription refreshes to their
subscription or shared Dot binding, issue activity to its task, comment
discovery to its company, and mailbox/assignment changes to their
binding. Retry deadlines do not rescan unchanged sources.
- Run expired-record cleanup opportunistically. Preserve on-use expiry
checks and the existing one-time automatic Dot challenge behavior.
- Add real PostgreSQL lifecycle coverage and guarded external test
database options for existing MCP/Dot integrations. Document producers
and the supported writer model.

## Verification

- Final head `e54fb34485921016ef988f7df9cca173a9ebdfc8`: all CI checks
passed (55 successful checks/statuses, one neutral review, two
intentionally skipped Storybook checks). Mergeable with no unresolved
review threads. Greptile: 5/5 on this exact commit; security scan
passed.
- All 284 affected tests passed in one local run after rebasing: 16
real-PostgreSQL lifecycle tests, 24 coordinator/scheduler/standby tests,
84 public MCP tests, 54 Dot runner tests, and 106 interaction-service
tests.
- Server TypeScript passed after refreshing generated Runner/plugin SDK
dependencies from master. Full workspace typecheck and build passed
before the rebase; final CI repeated typecheck and build successfully on
the rebased head.
- Coverage includes SQL/network quiet with configuration and history,
committed writes, outer commit/rollback, drain/standby, retry
restoration, reenable/unsubscribe, concurrent writes, shutdown,
source/delivery/subscription batch boundaries, Dot challenges and
reconnects, native broker fences, comment discovery, and
company-isolated scans.
- CI exposed an existing lock-order test whose insert proxy missed
nested transactions and waited indefinitely. The fixture now observes
nested inserts, preserves the lock assertion, and fails explicitly if
interception is missed. The complete 106-test interaction suite and the
formerly hanging CI shard pass. The warm-standby/settings test doubles
were also updated for the new coordinator/transaction boundaries.
- Earlier fixture failures (required timestamps, cleanup, external
database selection, async waits) were corrected. One existing OAuth
first-poll timing assertion and one E2E company-cleanup race passed on
single reruns; the final full CI run passed without a rerun. No OAuth or
company-deletion behavior was changed.
- The local full `pnpm test:run` attempt could not initialize embedded
PostgreSQL after five attempts. It was stopped; affected integrations
were verified with separate disposable PostgreSQL 17 databases, and
final CI supplied the full-suite result. Embedded-only local skips are
not counted as passes.

## Risks

- Notifications use one live server/database scope. Independent SQL
writers and separate live replicas do not trigger these process-local
workers. Startup recovers durable state; continuous multi-writer
discovery needs a notification/ingress contract.
- Idle physical cleanup waits for startup or another enabled sweep.
Subscription and authorization expiry remain enforced on use.
- Existing delivery claims, retry bounds, signatures, and receipt
deduplication remain in place. No new tables or migrations.
- Host sleep-safety checks remain conservative. MCP/Dot retry deadlines
are not yet covered by Paperclip Cloud's scheduled-wake contract. This
proves worker quiet, not deployed host suspension or fleet savings.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6), with reasoning, local code execution, and tool
use. The runtime does not expose a more specific model version or
context-window size.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 8b4ab65b1c Add plugin-owned project storage and task workspaces (#17001)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Tasks can use isolated repository workspaces.
> - Core currently prepares those repositories on its own filesystem.
> - A storage provider may only expose repositories inside remote agent
computers.
> - Project storage and task workspace preparation must have one
provider owner.
> - This pull request adds that contract and keeps execution as a
separate plugin interface.
> - Core keeps authorization, durable task bindings, and lifecycle
fences.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Plugin SDK, project workspace policy, heartbeat preparation, execution
leases, and workspace lifecycle.

**Problem or motivation**

Core cannot prepare a task workspace when its repository storage is
unavailable on the Core host. An execution lease must not be required
just to prepare persistent storage.

**Proposed solution**

Let one plugin provide project resource lifecycle and workspace prepare,
inspect, restore, and remove behavior. Core reserves a task workspace
before it calls the plugin. The plugin returns an opaque durable
reference. The matching execution plugin receives that reference on its
task RPC.

**Alternatives considered**

Preparing repositories on Core would require a provider mount on Core.
Preparing them only during task launch would tie persistent workspace
lifecycle to execution leases and agent availability.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the remote provider model in ROADMAP.md. Related execution
work is in #16978. This PR does not replace that task bridge. Native
execution of managed storage requires the bridge; this change fails
closed when it is absent.

## What Changed

- Add one storage provider declaration with supported modes/strategies,
a capability, a validated RPC contract, and a test harness.
- Persist provider ownership, repository revision, and
execution-workspace identity before external effects. Reconcile retries
with a stable operation ID.
- Prepare provider storage before environment acquisition. Keep Core
filesystem preparation out of this path.
- Pin the durable reference to the matching execution plugin and
validate the lease binding before task dispatch.
- Route inspection, reopen, and removal through the existing lifecycle
process. Keep local data when remote recovery is uncertain.
- Keep the application database pool free during lifecycle locks.
Preserve pending workspace selections, validate source edits before
retirement, and retry unfinished closed storage cleanup.
- Protect provider metadata and live repository sources from caller
edits. Storage edits retire only closed records with confirmed removal;
retired records cannot reopen.

## Verification

- Current head `8214b3ca5`: all 25 provider lifecycle tests pass with
`maxConnections=1`. They cover preparation, inspection, reopening,
removal, a paused provider with responsive ordinary SQL and a competing
source edit, pending selection preservation, rejected source edits,
cleanup retry scheduling, and providers that cache operation results,
and committed cleanup notifications for storage intent and recovered
state.
- Final frozen-tree lifecycle run on `8214b3ca5`: all 318 tests passed
in 10 files, covering workspace services, reopen, compaction, task
binding, project sources, heartbeat preparation, display caching, and
source locks.
- Direct server `tsc --noEmit` passes. The SDK build and all 128 SDK
tests passed during initial verification; later SDK changes are
documentation only.
- Full CI on the previous head `ec5c7209a` passed all 55 applicable
checks; 2 conditional checks skipped. Standard Greptile reviewed current
head `342e6d9c3` at 5/5 with no unresolved threads. All 55 applicable CI
checks passed on `342e6d9c3`; 2 conditional checks skipped. The Slack
browser and CLI startup jobs passed on their single unchanged-head
rerun. Its Apex review returned 4/5 with one pending-restoration issue.
Commit `1b58943b1` reconciles that durable intent before cleanup,
advances the generation without reopening the Core row, and blocks
direct removal or retirement while intent remains unresolved. Standard
Greptile reviewed `1b58943b1` at 5/5 with no new findings. All 54
applicable CI checks passed on `1b58943b1`; 3 conditional checks
skipped. The chat job passed on its single unchanged-head rerun. Apex
then returned 4/5 for a missing cleanup wake after recovery. Commit
`8214b3ca5` atomically registers cleanup intent before storage intent
and recovery-result writes. Its provider test observes real committed
notification hints and the visible advanced generation. Standard
Greptile reviewed `8214b3ca5` at 5/5 with no new findings. All 55
applicable current-head CI checks passed on the first run; 2 conditional
checks skipped. Final Apex verification completed at 5/5 on this exact
head: 38 files reviewed, no new comments, and no unresolved threads. The
PR is ready for review and mergeable.
- The first Apex review found five issues after a standard 5/5:
application-pool starvation, stale pending selections, retirement during
rejected source edits, lost cleanup retries, and reused inspection
identities. Commits `6d72e7fd4` and `342e6d9c3` fix each with regression
coverage. Archive lock waits use dedicated connections, and source edits
fail promptly if the lifecycle is busy. Retirement compares normalized
values. The normalized-source regression initially failed with the
raw-value comparison; after moving the check after normalization, a
clean provider-suite rerun passed all 24 tests at that stage. Those
threads are resolved; the earlier Apex 0/5 is not a passing acceptance
result.
- Earlier local integration attempts could not bind localhost inside the
sandbox. The same suites passed with permission to start local
PostgreSQL.
- The earlier broad local `pnpm test:run` overlapped edits and reported
stale-revision and checkout-path/Git-fixture failures. It was not a
final-tree result. Full CI subsequently passed; the original local
failure remains part of verification history.
- Local repository-wide typecheck/build cannot complete because `cargo`
is unavailable. Direct server TypeScript checks and affected tests pass;
full Rust and build validation comes from CI.
- An earlier browser run on `ff918c5a8` failed in the unchanged
case-filter journey: expected “Done,” received “All statuses,” with an
announcement handler recorded during the assertion. The cause is not
confirmed. [The failed
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39500611857/job/118896954508)
remains verification history. The unchanged shard passed in the next
full CI run on `ec5c7209a`; no UI or fixture change was made.
- Current-head browser shard 2 failed waiting five seconds for the
mocked Slack setup Success heading. This PR changes neither that UI nor
its fixture. [The failed
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39506070513/job/118916021232)
remains verification evidence. The cause is not confirmed; the single
unchanged-shard rerun passed; no UI or fixture change was made, and the
original cause remains unconfirmed.
- The workspace test shard passed its 3,978 general tests, then its CLI
company-import/export fixture timed out after 30 seconds waiting for
startup health before creating any company or workspace. [The failed
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39506070513/job/118916021855)
remains verification history. The child reached external-PostgreSQL
startup without exiting or reporting an exception. Its cause is not
confirmed; the single unchanged-job rerun passed, including the CLI
fixture. No startup or fixture change was made, and the original cause
remains unconfirmed.
- The new cached-removal regression initially failed because its fake
worker advertised availability for unrelated fixture plugins, so another
workspace changed its fake checkout state. Worker availability now
matches the fixture plugin; the complete 25-test provider suite passes.
- On `1b58943b1`, the chat shard timed out polling for one conversation
after an authorized GitHub description edit. [The failed
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39510521657/job/118930193418)
remains evidence. The exact case passes locally against PostgreSQL (1
passed, 1,380 unrelated cases skipped), and this PR changes neither that
test nor its handler. The original cause is unconfirmed; the single
unchanged-job CI rerun passed without a code or fixture change. The
original cause remains unconfirmed.
- The diff was checked for credentials, private references, and
generated artifacts.

## Risks

This is an additive provider contract with no database migration.
Existing projects keep their local behavior unless their policy selects
a storage plugin. A selected provider must be ready and enabled. Unknown
or unsafe cleanup fails closed.

Managed native execution depends on #16978. Core refuses a host Runner
fallback. Providers must fence lifecycle generations, preserve ambiguous
retries, and report remote recovery honestly. Provider-specific live
storage and guest mount qualification remain separate from these Core
contract tests.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6), with repository inspection, code execution, and
tests. The exact model variant was not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip 790b729086 fix: restore nested project repositories and settings after expiration (#16691)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents use isolated Git workspaces with managed project repository
copies.
> - Finished workspaces can expire when Git can reproduce their
contents.
> - The saved recipe records the main commit but omits nested commits
and local settings.
> - Reopening can therefore use newer nested code and lose merged user
settings.
> - This pull request saves and restores those contents before workspace
provisioning.
> - It also permits verified FETCH_HEAD metadata so ordinary fetches do
not block safe expiration.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16457, #16586, #16621. Related performance work: #16579.

**What happened?**

After a finished workspace expires, its nested project checkout can
reopen at the current upstream commit instead of its previous commit.
Cleanup also treats local Claude settings as disposable, although that
file can contain user settings. Ordinary linked-worktree FETCH_HEAD
metadata prevents otherwise safe cleanup.

**Expected behavior**

Restore the main and nested repositories at their saved commits.
Preserve local settings bytes and permissions. Skip files and Git state
that cannot be reproduced. Permit standard fetched metadata only when
its commits remain recoverable.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Prepare a managed nested project repository at commit A and add
ignored local settings.
2. Advance upstream to B, finish the task tree, and expire its workspace
and base.
3. Reopen the workspace through the normal service path. Before this
fix, nested preparation selects B.

## What Changed

- Extend the existing restoration recipe with exact nested commits,
branches, source identity, and encrypted local settings. Keep the schema
compatible with older recipes.
- Restore nested repositories and settings before provisioning. Recheck
company/project source access and preserve conflicting files on retry.
- Recheck recorded contents under cleanup locks before deletion. Persist
lock ownership before atomic publication so process exits recover safely
and foreign locks stay intact. Preserve changed or unsupported contents,
including tracked settings.
- Keep saved project repository selections through normal preparation.
Checkpoint restored contents before provisioning so failed setup can
retry without overwriting later edits.
- Accept bounded linked-worktree FETCH_HEAD records only after local
ancestry or fresh upstream proof. Preserve local-only fetched commits.
- Add real Git/Postgres lifecycle cases and focused content, access,
publication-retry, and fetched-state controls. Document the behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- The original real Git/Postgres experiment failed with nested B instead
of A. The same path passes with this change.
- The integrated lifecycle suite passed 42 cases in 91.66s. Related
preparation, credential, content, and Git metadata controls passed 46
cases in 24.41s. The final heartbeat checkpoint persistence case passed
separately in 8.17s.
- Coverage includes exact main/nested commits, encrypted settings and
modes, upstream failure and retry, provisioning order, concurrent
reopening, changed unique files, tracked settings, malformed metadata,
and company boundaries.
- Exact-head CI passed the implementation, typecheck, build, security,
and test matrices. One browser shard passed on a single rerun after an
unrelated fixture teardown raced an activity-log write; its feature
assertions passed in the initial attempt.
- The broad local test run was stopped after about 12 minutes of
unrelated serial tests. Full parallel CI is required before merge; no
local full-suite pass is claimed.
- Single-workspace deployment, real-backlog reclamation, and ordinary
product reopening remain required acceptance work after merge.

## Risks

- Expired Git repositories still depend on upstream access. A failed
restoration returns the existing retryable error and never substitutes
the default branch.
- Saved settings use the existing local encryption provider. Recovery
requires that encryption key to remain available.
- Unsupported files, tracked settings, unknown sources, and unverified
Git state remain on disk. This can reduce reclaimed space.
- No database migration, recovery-retention change, public API, or
fleet-default change is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with tool use, code execution, and an
independent agent review. The runtime does not expose a more specific
model identifier.

DottaandPaperclip 59a70dc9e2 fix(workspaces): expire reproducible Git files and restore exact commits (#16457)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their task workspaces.
> - Isolated Git worktrees and private repository copies remain on the
host after tasks finish.
> - These files can fill the disk even when every commit is available
upstream.
> - Cleanup must retain unique files, local Git state, live work, and
recovery data.
> - This pull request records and verifies an exact-commit restoration
recipe before expiration.
> - Normal reopening restores that commit even after upstream advances.
> - The benefit is lower host disk use while finished tasks remain
available for later work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #10285 and #2022. Follows #16433 for skill-cache expiration.
Related #11936 provides separate host-local cleanup tooling; this change
extends the existing company-scoped lifecycle worker and normal
workspace reopening. ROADMAP.md does not specify a competing
implementation.

## What Changed

- Add opt-in expiration for verified Paperclip-owned Git worktrees after
their whole task tree has been done or cancelled for 24 hours.
- Preserve active and scheduled runs, previews, pending reopening,
unresolved recovery, dirty files, unknown ignored files, and unsupported
or unique Git state.
- Verify an authenticated fetch in a fresh object store. Save repository
identity, exact commit, branch, and ownership before any deletion.
- Rename eligible files into recorded managed trash. Resume interrupted
cleanup under source and lifecycle locks.
- Expire private base clones only after consumer, file, reference,
reflog, and object checks pass. Preserve shared project base clones.
- Rebuild missing bases and worktrees through normal reopening at the
recorded commit. Return an explicit retryable error when repository
access fails.
- Add independent workspace/base switches, dry-run reports,
reclaimed-byte counts, and operational documentation. No table, public
API, UI, or recovery-retention change.

## Verification

- Real local bare remote plus Postgres: create at A, advance upstream to
B, expire the worktree and private base, reopen at A, then make and
retain a subsequent commit.
- Final lifecycle suite: all 20 tests passed in 46.41 seconds at
`d72947a2e45be5d0c912debb03c46b15863b4798`. Review fixes cover
second-cycle expiration, newer-branch recovery, normal preparation after
restoration, branch adoption, and Git administration path controls.
Eleven existing branch reconciliation controls also passed. Covers
unique files and Git state, live descendants, scheduled runs, recovery,
previews, unauthorized access, upstream failure, concurrent reopening,
interrupted deletion, shared bases, and nested private worktrees.
- Final guard regressions: 3 affected tests passed. Existing
workspace/runtime/preparation/source controls: 328 tests passed in
238.69 seconds.
- Full repository typecheck and build passed locally. The full local
test attempt did not pass: initial native-session cases hit macOS
Postgres shared-memory exhaustion, source changes invalidated two
discovery cases, and the checkout disappeared near the end. The
final-code retry of the remaining skill and unrelated controls passed
all 103 tests. All checks passed on this exact head, including
typecheck, general and serialized tests, Runner checks, build, canary
dry-run, browser E2E, and security scans. Greptile reviewed the head at
5/5 with all findings resolved.
- Fixed a blocking CI policy false positive for
`docker-compose-secrets.test.mjs`. The test still rejects GitHub secret
expressions, including dot, bracket, and multiline forms. Its full
15-test suite passes.
- Map validation and `git diff --check` passed.
- Staging dry-run inspection, measured reclamation, and ordinary product
acceptance remain pending. No live acceptance is claimed.

## Risks

- Git restoration depends on continued upstream availability and
credentials. Cleanup skips unverified commits; restoration never
substitutes the default branch.
- File deletion requires multiple conservative proofs. Unknown or
unsupported state is retained and can limit reclamation.
- Source and lifecycle locks serialize preparation, reopening, and
expiration. Remote verification has a deadline but can delay work on the
same source.
- Start with both expiration switches disabled. When enabled, dry-run
remains the default. Rollback disables further deletion while retaining
restoration support.

## Model Used

use, and code execution. The exact backend model ID and context-window
size are not exposed in this session.

Harjoth KharaandClaude Opus 5 be3e614d61 fix(workspace-runtime): keep the real readiness failure when the deadline-clamped probe aborts (#11575)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and the services they use for work.
> - An agent can wait for a workspace service to become ready.
> - Each readiness probe has a time limit.
> - A final probe can expire and hide an earlier HTTP failure.
> - This pull request keeps that observed failure in the reported error.
> - Operators can then see why the service was not ready.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #11525. Related: #11494.

**What happened?**

A deadline-limited final readiness probe replaced an observed HTTP 503
with an abort message.

**Expected behavior**

Keep an earlier service failure when only the readiness deadline aborts
the last probe. Report normal connection failures and probe timeouts as
before.

**Steps to reproduce**

Return HTTP 503 from the first probe. Leave one millisecond in the
readiness budget. Abort the last probe. The reported error must still
contain HTTP 503.

## What Changed

- Track whether a readiness probe observed a service failure.
- Preserve that observation when the final probe expires at the
readiness deadline.
- Add a deterministic regression with an injected clock.
- Keep probe scheduling, request count and timeout limits unchanged.

## Verification

- Author verification: the readiness suite passed all nine tests; server
typecheck passed. The regression failed before the fix and passed after
it.
- The later task review recorded 172 passing workspace tests and seven
additional readiness checks. Historical author baseline failures are not
claimed as passing local runs.
- Latest head `936a374a08d0e74d87d588ba034f674388e8d508`: CI passed with
54 successful checks and two intentional skips. Fresh Apex review is 5/5
with no unresolved findings or recommendations.
- A test merge with current master is clean.

## Risks

- Error text changes when a service first fails and then hangs. The
earlier observed failure is retained.
- A hang without a prior service failure still reports the abort.
- No data model, API or permission change.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip c7f4b74111 fix: isolate fresh task sources from restricted project workspaces (#16095)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Each task must have an isolated workspace that its agent can read.
> - Older project checkouts can contain worktrees for restricted tasks.
> - The source access check correctly rejects these shared checkouts.
> - A fresh task then fails even when its agent can clone the project
remote.
> - This pull request gives fresh default tasks a separate clone of the
same remote.
> - The task can start while the restricted task files remain protected.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Fresh tasks fail with `Task workspace access is no longer available`
when their default project checkout contains a restricted task worktree.
The caller has access to the new task and its remote repository. The
shared local Git source is unsafe to copy.

**Expected behavior**

Use a separate clone of the same authorized remote for a fresh default
task. Keep source access checks and responsible-user Git credentials in
force.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Put a restricted task worktree inside a project checkout.
2. Assign a new default task to an agent that cannot read the restricted
task.
3. Start the new task. The current source check fails before workspace
creation.
4. With this fix, the task uses a separate remote source. The restricted
files are absent. Later runs reuse the same owned source.

Related work: Refs #15749, Refs #15528. This change keeps their source
retention and workspace ownership checks.

## What Changed

- Add a remote source path scoped to the company and task.
- Clone through the run’s Git connection after the shared source fails
its access check.
- Reject reused workspaces, explicit selections, pinned branches, local
sources, credential-bearing URLs, and symlink paths.
- Check source access again before publishing the workspace.
- Resolve later runs from the verified recorded source. Ignore leftover
clones that the saved workspace does not own.
- Record provenance for new implicit Git defaults. Read the current task
binding before fallback. Preserve explicit, inherited and ambiguous
legacy checkout choices.
- Keep the effective task strategy during startup validation of matching
implicit defaults. Preserve the existing explicit-selection write check.
- Add regression coverage and document the fallback.

## Verification

- Merged master `c8efdbfba43` and resolved both rounds of catalog/index
conflicts. All upstream suites, classifications, source references and
story IDs are preserved. Both fix branches combine cleanly in either
merge order, with no catalog fingerprint drift.
- Passed locally: 313 focused source-isolation, preparation,
task-creation, binding and trust tests before the final startup fix. The
final fix passes all 100 source-trust, task-binding and
environment-selection tests. Earlier workspace-resolution and
persisted-source suites also passed.
- Real-Git regressions cover all three review findings. Reconstruction
ignores an unrecorded clone and preserves unpublished commits/files.
Explicit and parent-inherited checkout IDs without typed selections
retain their denial and branch tips without cloning or acquiring an
environment. A protected-project heartbeat completes and resumes using
the task’s Git strategy with read access. Explicit selection still
requires writes, and a mismatched default is rejected.
- Passed: the complete Storybook catalog check with no drift errors,
feature and agent map structure checks, and all 17 catalog/index script
tests. The generated index counts match the merged catalog. The current
upstream verification-route inventory remains unchanged. The catalog
contains all 262 authored suites and 2,481 story IDs.
- Passed: full workspace typecheck and build after the final guard
changes, on latest head `79d2adadcb6d3d7a04b9943a91bdb8b0b6abea6d`.
- Latest head `79d2adadcb6d3d7a04b9943a91bdb8b0b6abea6d`: complete CI
passed (54 successful checks, two intentional skips), including the full
general/serialized suites and all eight browser shards. Fresh Greptile
Apex review is 5/5 on this same commit, with no unresolved findings or
recommendations. The full local test command was attempted earlier
without a complete aggregate result; the complete suite result is from
CI.
- Manual check: configure a shared project checkout with a restricted
task worktree. Admit a fresh default task using the authorized remote.
Confirm separate Git storage and no restricted local branch or file.
Reuse, close and reopen the task workspace. Confirm that explicit,
literal branch and low-trust selections retain the denied source.

## Risks

- A clean remote clone excludes unpublished local work. The fallback
applies only to fresh default tasks and rejects existing workspace or
branch selections.
- A private remote can fail to clone when the responsible user lacks Git
credentials. The run then reports the failure; access checks are not
bypassed.
- Older untyped checkout bindings cannot prove default provenance. They
keep the source denial instead of silently dropping unpublished work.
- New implicit Git defaults use the existing workspace-intent contract.
The source directory uses existing instance storage. No schema migration
is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6, model ID `gpt-6`, through Codex. Used reasoning,
repository inspection, code editing, terminal tools, and test execution.
The API session does not expose an exact context window size.

ba04968b10 fix(server): report failing workspace jobs as 422 instead of 500 (#15941)
A non-zero workspace job exit is the operator job's own result. Map it to 422 workspace_job_failed with the exit code instead of a 500 that the error handler reports to Sentry as a server crash. A job without a command is also 422. Other workspace command failures are unchanged.

DottaandPaperclip b6b3cb3761 Fix unavailable workspace branches with an inline repair and retry (#15726)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Isolated workspaces must resolve a starting Git ref before an agent
starts.
> - A task can explicitly select a branch that the repository does not
have.
> - The current recovery notice calls this a missing secret and offers
no branch repair.
> - This pull request explains the branch failure and adds a task-scoped
repair action.
> - Operators can correct the branch and request a guarded retry from
the task thread.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: Refs #11892 added unresolved-ref recovery. Refs #15719 added
bounded failure diagnostics. This change uses that recovery path and
adds its operator repair UI.

**What happened?**

A task that selects `main` in a repository with only `master` stops
before the adapter starts. The task shows a missing-secret message and a
generic retry. Repeating the run cannot fix the stored branch setting.

**Expected behavior**

Explain that the starting ref could not be resolved. Offer a verified
repository default, or let the operator enter a branch. Save only the
task's starting branch and retry its recorded owner through the existing
admission gates.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create an isolated-workspace task in a repository with `master` and
no `main`.
2. Set the task's base ref to `main` and assign an agent.
3. Wait for the configuration failure.
4. Use the inline branch repair and confirm the agent completes in a
worktree based on `master`.

## What Changed

- Replace the missing-secret diagnosis for unresolved workspace refs.
Keep uncertain fetch/access failures described as uncertain.
- Read the remote's advertised default branch with the existing Git
credentials and a bounded timeout. Do not guess or silently change the
branch.
- Add an atomic branch repair to the existing recovery resolution
endpoint. Check company access, board runtime permission, incident
identity, current owner, task/project state, dependencies, interactions,
approvals, budget, and active execution before requesting a retry.
- Preserve the effective inherited workspace setup when saving the task
branch override, and attach one repair notice per failed run even when
the incident is reused.
- Bind the shared repair card to the exact recovery notice and failed
run in both task-thread renderers. Validate branch syntax and prevent
duplicate submissions.
- Add Storybook examples, regression tests, and a documented local
acceptance fixture with a real Git repository and process adapter.

## Verification

- Red/green regressions cover the repair endpoint and preservation of
inherited agent setup. The regression failed before each fix and passed
afterward.
- Focused integration suite: 162 tests passed; task-thread/card suite:
230 passed. After review refinements, all 13 repair-route tests, 10 card
tests, 77 recovery-action tests, and the repeated-failure heartbeat
regression passed locally.
- Real browser acceptance passed for suggested-branch and custom-entry
repairs. Invalid syntax left the task blocked. Both valid repairs ran
the authenticated worker in a real isolated worktree and reached Done;
reload preserved the result.
- Repeated failures reused the recovery incident and retained an
actionable notice on the latest run. The inherited-setup journey
verified the provisioned file, agent branch template, worktree parent
directory, and actual Git commit before completing. [Before/after
screenshots](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/15726#issuecomment-6088734666).
- Full local typecheck and build passed; server typecheck passed again
after review fixes. Token gates passed.
- The monolithic local Vitest run was stopped after resource-contention
timeouts and stale assertions. Targeted regressions were rerun; the full
CI matrix passed on final revision
`26c543ff490bec29ddc77a49ee532c7f84fb96dc`. One signoff E2E
worker-cancellation failure passed on a rerun without code changes. The
two opt-in Storybook workflow jobs were skipped; the Storybook journey
was checked manually.
- Repeat the live journey with `tests/e2e/workspace-base-ref/README.md`.
Storybook examples use simulated callbacks and are not the live
acceptance proof.

## Risks

- Default-branch discovery can add up to 10 seconds to an unresolved-ref
failure. Lookup failure leaves manual entry available.
- A valid branch name can still be absent or inaccessible. The retried
workspace preparation remains authoritative and can block again with new
evidence.
- Retry remains subject to normal admission gates. The repair changes
only the task override; it does not alter project or agent defaults.
- No database migration or new dependency.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with tool execution, repository analysis,
and browser testing. The exact serving variant and context-window size
are not exposed in this session.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 7333e4eba8 Capture bounded workspace base-ref failure diagnostics (#15719)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - A run can prepare a Git worktree before an adapter starts.
> - That preparation must resolve the configured base ref.
> - The same unresolved-ref error can follow a missing ref, failed
fetch, or failed credential lookup.
> - Current failure reports do not distinguish these paths.
> - This PR records bounded outcomes from the operations that already
run.
> - Maintainers can use this evidence without changing task recovery or
hiding failures.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #11892 established remote-only base-ref resolution and
pre-adapter recovery. I found no open PR for these diagnostics.

**What happened?**

A fresh worktree can fail with `UnresolvedWorkspaceBaseRefError`. Its
failure report has no closed fields that distinguish remote lookup,
credential lookup, fetch, and local ref-probe outcomes. An empty warning
list does not prove that a fetch ran or that a remote ref is absent.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the task-visible failure and owner recovery action. Report bounded
observations from the existing operations. Keep unknown causes
reportable.

**Steps to reproduce**

Use a local Git repository with a configured base branch that is absent.
Repeat with no origin, an inaccessible local origin, or a rejected
credential resolver. Start fresh workspace preparation. Before this
change, each path lacks the new typed observations in the failure
report. Tests use local repositories and intercepted fetch commands;
they require no external Git service.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against source commit `1602512820`, built from source. This
affects core workspace preparation before adapter dispatch.

## What Changed

- Record closed remote lookup, credential lookup, fetch, and local
ref-probe outcomes. Limit new output parsing to 8 KiB.
- Attach evidence privately to the resolver's own error. Reject copied,
forged, inherited, accessor, and malformed evidence.
- Persist allowed values in the existing setup result and export them
through run-failure diagnostics.
- Preserve Git commands, credential fallback, warning text, recovery
actions, and Sentry reporting.
- Add real Git, heartbeat, reporter, and real Sentry envelope tests.
Document the fields and their limits.

## Verification

- Current head: `015b2737df004e971eeeb134ebc9a1024e244494`, based on
`be1bc5d494d`. The only rebase conflict was in heartbeat test imports.
All three imports were retained; `git range-diff` confirms no other
patch change.
- Full `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed on the current head.
- Fresh focused tests passed: 13 real-Git producer cases, 279 complete
collector/reporter cases, two actual heartbeat recovery cases, and all
nine real Sentry SDK cases. The required-SDK gate used version 10.71.0.
Actual envelopes contain only allowed fields, with no private fixture
text or cross-event leakage.
- Independent review passed all 16 combined heartbeat cases from both
integrated changes and five real-Git probes with identical baseline
command sequences and outcomes. The original producer negative control
failed on the absent receipt; the candidate passed. No review findings
remain.
- Current-head CI is complete: 54 successful checks and two intentional
Storybook skips. Greptile is 5/5 on this exact head, with no unresolved
threads or merge conflicts.
- Local aggregate limitation: the earlier full run reported one failure
in an unchanged tool-access case and was stopped with SIGINT (exit 130)
to isolate it. Vitest did not print the deferred assertion summary. The
unchanged complete file passed 420/420 alone. That aggregate is not
claimed as a pass. Before the mechanical rebase, the complete
workspace-runtime file also passed 172/172. The fresh full CI result
covers the integrated head.
- An initial independent combined reporter run hit its database setup
timeout; the unchanged complete reporter file then passed 186/186 alone.
Earlier-head CI lost four runners and recovered on one verification
retry; current-head CI passed separately.

## Risks

- These observations do not prove that a remote ref is absent. All
affected failures remain reportable, including resumed and
provider-started runs.
- The new fields include no repository URL, ref text, customer path, raw
command output, or credential. Existing task-visible details are
unchanged.
- No migration, dependency, authorization, retry, or deployment change.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with tool execution and parallel independent
review. The exact serving variant and context-window size are not
exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip dd777f4b73 feat(dot): complete onboarding and expand governed Runner capabilities (#15414)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents, their work, and their permissions.
> - Paperclip Runner supplies the same admitted tool authority to each
provider.
> - The Dot provider in #15402 needs reliable onboarding and useful
agent capabilities.
> - An idle Dot could not start work, assign a human, read skills, or
produce a workspace artifact.
> - Pairing also relied on a second configuration save before ordinary
admission could work.
> - This pull request adds governed idle admission and shared Runner
tools, and completes pairing atomically.
> - Operators can test Dot with fresh data while keeping normal company,
approval, budget, and run ownership checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Paperclip Runner, dedicated Dot MCP access, OAuth onboarding,
experimental settings, and empty worktree startup. This PR builds on
merged provider PR #15402. It reuses the merged MCP gateway from #14846
and assistant connection work from #14933 and #15380.

**Problem or motivation**

An idle Dot could see assignments but could not act on a conversation
request until someone created a task first. Its Runner catalog could not
assign tasks to humans or read pinned skills and workspace files.
First-time OAuth discovery and pairing also needed browser fixes, and a
completed pairing did not persist its binding reference on the agent.

**Proposed solution**

Keep Dot within the existing Runner. Admit a visible agent-authored
intake task for idle requests. Add people, human assignment, cross-task,
skill, and optional sandbox workspace tools through shared authority.
Relay assigned app calls through the configured MCP gateway. Add lease
renewal and follow-up references. Save pairing and its configuration
revision atomically. Show prerequisites and provide a complete copy
prompt.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the experimental provider in #15402. It uses the existing
governed gateway, task model, skills, artifact path, and native Runner.
It adds no separate execution subsystem.

## What Changed

- Add a standalone OpenAI Dot agent choice with an independent
experimental opt-in. It works with the general Runner option off.
Require Assistant connections (MCP), authenticated sign-in, and public
HTTPS for pairing.
- Use Dot’s own option for company package import. Allow an unpaired Dot
configuration to save after external billing acknowledgement; task
admission still requires pairing. Prepare the shared dev binary for
Dot-only opt-in.
- Label saved Dot agents as OpenAI Dot. Use prerequisite-check copy in
setup and runtime configuration.
- Route Dot creation directly to pairing after explicit external billing
acknowledgement. Hide local CLI, model, and harness setup for Dot.
Preserve the shared Runner implementation and canonical API type. Other
Runner providers still require their general opt-in.
- Add an empty worktree option with fresh signing keys and no production
data copy.
- Fix public-client OAuth negotiation, discovery compatibility, and
optional separate browser authorization origin.
- Add one-use pairing consent preview, clear copied setup instructions,
and atomic binding persistence and cleanup.
- Add idle request admission with stable request IDs and normal
scheduling, permissions, budgets, and task ownership.
- Add identity and people discovery, human task assignment and
reassignment, and authorized cross-task comments and documents.
- Read assigned skill files from pinned manifests. Relay assigned app
calls through the merged gateway without exposing credentials.
- Add an off-by-default workspace bridge. Constrain paths and writes.
Run commands in a deny-by-default OS sandbox with no network or injected
credentials. Reserve mutations before effects and never blindly repeat
uncertain work.
- Add rolling lease renewal, task pagination, bounded operation limits,
and deduplicated follow-up references without comment bodies in
webhooks.
- Add an off-by-default attachment reading setting. Restrict reads to
files on the current assigned task. Verify size and hash, cache bounded
verified copies per run, paginate text or binary bytes, and recheck live
authority before returning.
- Keep file grants operator-owned. Reject agent self-grants across
configuration routes. Preserve attachment consent in create/import
forms. Close generic API file bypasses while retaining current-run
response snapshots and permitted uploads.
- Keep provider limits explicit. Do not inherit a Dot binding,
attachment permission, or workspace permission when hiring another
agent.
- Include the required Markdown format in cross-task document writes and
validate the API title limit. Verify real creation and revision
persistence.
- Restrict command execution to Linux bubblewrap with descendant
containment. macOS retains workspace file tools and artifact publishing,
while refusing command calls. Explain the platform limit in setup.
- Exclude Paperclip instance state from workspace files, uploads,
artifact publication, and sandbox commands. Protect nested directories
and case variants. Fail closed when the directory protection scan
exceeds 4,096 directories.
- Add static UI compression for slow public tunnels. Document setup, the
complete tool inventory, and qualification limits.

## Verification

- Merge preparation on `00ca2c75b` integrates merged base #15402 and
master `fc6304dfe`. The ancestry commit preserves the reviewed follow-up
source tree. The subsequent security fix excludes instance state from
file tools, uploads, artifact publication, and sandbox commands. It
preserves private task authorization and task monitors. It regenerates
the combined tool catalog, seeded catalog digest, and protocol manifest.
Workspace typecheck, full build, and UI token gates pass. All sixteen
real Dot broker cases and 93 company import cases pass after the review
fixes and creator-attribution test correction. The exported
human-assignment catalog and Unicode page boundaries are also fixed. All
ten catalog tests and nine workspace/skill bridge tests pass. All 35
workspace bridge and authority tests passed after the instance-state
fix, including real macOS commands in that intermediate version. The
subsequent document and descendant-containment fixes pass 44 focused
tests across bridge, authority, and setup UI, with six Linux command
cases skipped on macOS. Real cross-task documents pass the route
validator and persist two revisions. macOS refuses command execution and
does not advertise the tool. Full workspace typecheck and build, changed
server/UI typechecks, and token gates pass again on the final commit.
Greptile rates final head 00ca2c75b 5/5 and its completed check
concludes success; all review threads are resolved. All 58 current-head
checks are complete: 54 passed and 4 intentionally skipped. This
includes full tests, typecheck, build, Runner, browser E2E, release
verification, and Canary Dry Run. The older full local root attempt
finished with 16,602 passes, 93 skips, and ten failures across two
suites: it began before source edits and retained earlier imported
implementations while loading later tests. Both suites pass a clean
final-head rerun (25 passed, six Linux-only command cases skipped on
macOS). This mixed-source full attempt is not a final-head full-suite
pass; use the fresh CI evidence below.
- Full workspace typecheck and build pass for the standalone Dot change
on head `392d54f80`. UI token gates are clean. The full workspace
typecheck passed before the final importer UI edit; the changed UI
typecheck, build, and token gates pass again on the final commit. The
server build passes for its unchanged final source.
- Standalone selection, creation, settings, harness visibility,
inventory, and runtime admission checks pass. OAuth onboarding and the
real Rust/PostgreSQL broker suite pass 27 cases with the general Runner
option disabled. Dot and MCP revocation still block pairing; other
Runner providers remain disabled. Create, hire, conversion, and
inherited-hire route regressions pass 68 cases. The runtime selection
suite passes 20 cases. The setup UI suite passes 50 cases. Company
import and dev binary checks pass 97 cases. Import UI checks pass 29
cases, including Dot-only selection, preservation of imported Dot
agents, generic Runner fallback, canonical configuration serialization,
and required billing acknowledgement. A read of the synthetic instance
reports the native binary required with Dot enabled, the general rollout
disabled, and no persisted native work.
- The latest attachment, operator-consent, generic API file-guard, and
bridge checks pass 80 tests. Cache and native lifecycle checks pass 550
tests; create/import builders pass 45 tests; attachment setup UI checks
pass 16 tests. The real Rust/PostgreSQL Dot broker suite passes 15
cases.
- Earlier authority, human assignment, pinned skill, confinement,
cancellation, inheritance, onboarding, replay, OpenAPI, and gateway
regressions pass their focused rechecks. Workspace writes reject
concurrent stale hashes.
- In the live empty test-drive, turn the general Runner option off and
leave Dot and MCP on. Add agent shows a separate OpenAI Dot choice.
Create rejects missing billing acknowledgement, saves the canonical Dot
configuration, and opens pairing. The existing paired Dot remains ready
and passes its prerequisite checks. No new plugin pairing was needed for
this UI change. The final browser import preview keeps a Dot source
agent as OpenAI Dot, falls back a generic Runner agent while its switch
is off, and offers Dot independently.
- Real Dot completed OAuth, signed MCP Events readiness, and an
event-only assigned document task in an empty synthetic instance.
Pairing saved its binding without a second configuration save.
- Real Dot verified human assignment, cross-task comments and documents,
pinned skill reading, sandbox commands, lease renewal, follow-up input,
and a downloaded artifact whose bytes and hash matched its receipt. An
idle conversation request created an intake, created a task for its
human owner, continued after a definite missing-file read error, and
finalized Done with exit code 0.
- After operator approval, real Dot read a synthetic assigned-task
attachment and wrote its file-only random proof into an agent-authored
document. Its first test required accepting review because the existing
document tool removed the final newline.
- On head `2626c8f9b`, real Dot read a 13,849-byte synthetic attachment
in two pages, used `expectedSha256` on page two, saved exactly its final
random marker, verified readback, and finalized Done with exit code 0. A
direct inbox check was required for this attachment qualification; it
does not claim event-only delivery.
- Previous head `392d54f80` passes all 55 checks (53 passed, two
intentionally skipped), including the full test, typecheck, build,
native Runner, browser, and release verification gates. Greptile rates
this head 5/5; all review threads are resolved.
- Head `2626c8f9b` passed all 56 checks: 54 passed and two intentionally
skipped. This includes full typecheck, build, native Runner, server
tests, serialized suites, browser E2E, and Canary Dry Run. The unchanged
Cursor managed-runtime test exceeded its five-second deadline on the
first attempt; its focused local suite passed all eight cases, and the
single CI rerun plus dependent verify gate passed.
- A prior full local serial test attempt reported 19 failures (16,141
passed, 88 skipped) and stopped before later wrapper groups. It began
before the final source edits. Every failed suite has a passing fresh
recheck; the macOS snapshot stress case passes alone in 227 seconds. The
previous head `000fb9261` passed all 56 CI checks. PRs leave
`pnpm-lock.yaml` unchanged; CI and the refresh bot own dependency
resolution.

## Risks

- Dot remains off by default. Its own opt-in does not enable other
Runner providers. It still requires the MCP option; disabling Dot blocks
new work while keeping existing recovery and saved bindings.
- Dot requires a stable public HTTPS origin. Its base provider in #15402
is merged. Temporary tunnels are useful for testing but are not
permanent deployments.
- Idle intake creates a visible agent-authored task. It does not
fabricate a human message or bypass ordinary admission.
- Workspace commands require Linux bubblewrap with a private PID
namespace; deployment qualification is still needed. macOS file tools
and artifact publishing remain available, but commands are disabled
because sandbox-exec does not contain detached descendants. There is no
unrestricted fallback. Command protection fails closed above 4,096
workspace directories. The historical macOS command walkthrough does not
qualify the current Linux implementation.
- Provider model choice, token usage, cost, native thread control, and
global external stopping remain unavailable. Known Paperclip budget
gates still apply.
- The workspace bridge and attachment reader are separate opt-in
settings. Reading assigned task files sends their contents to OpenAI.
Revocation prevents future reads but cannot withdraw bytes already sent.
Files are read on request; automatic inbound attachment staging remains
disabled.
- An existing event registration can retain earlier instructions that
prohibit extra tasks. Dot asked for permission before a second intake
after the final event-only bootstrap; that extra no-nudge continuation
is not live-qualified under that earlier registration. The later
attachment qualification submitted normally through the composer. The
revised onboarding prompt describes the new idle entry point, and its
protocol polling path is tested.
- OpenAI event delivery can be delayed; a webhook acknowledgement is not
proof that Dot has begun work.
- A running Dot can retain an old plugin catalog after tool refresh.
Refresh and actual tool exposure must be checked before using new
top-level actions.
- Hosted and remote controller modes are not qualified.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 6681c71b40 fix(ci): stabilize chat startup and close the initial live-update gap (#13895)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Browser tests check chat state across navigation, reload, and agent
runs.
> - Runtime tests check that a service is ready before Paperclip
publishes its address.
> - CI for #13891 failed in these paths, then passed attempt 3 with the
same code.
> - The browser traces stopped during development asset startup. A
separate sidebar assertion used an unstable focus path through the rich
editor.
> - This PR gives browser tests fresh built assets and a direct keyboard
path to the star button. It adds service-worker reload coverage under
CPU throttling.
> - A later browser failure exposed a real reload race: comments can
change between the first query and the first live subscription. The UI
now refreshes active queries when that subscription opens.
> - Runtime fixtures now have separate registry state and better failure
evidence. The readiness deadline remains unchanged.
> - A later CI run exposed a wall-clock backoff assertion and three
authorization cases sharing one test lifecycle. The PR anchors the
assertion to transport time and separates the cases.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13891. Related runtime ownership and cleanup work: #11791, #11389,
#11278.

Evidence: [original CI run, attempt
3](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35910335089/attempts/3).
Attempt 3 passed both affected shards without code changes. This PR is
separate from the wake-payload change, which has since merged.

| Failure | Diagnosis and classification |
| --- | --- |
| Sidebar blank page and retry text missing after reload in CI | Both
traces show a blank document before React startup. Vite connects, but
the failing page makes no application API requests. The service worker
forwards the unbundled development module graph. The retry response is
already stored and its process-adapter run succeeded before reload. This
places the failure in browser bootstrap, not wake payload or reply
persistence. The exact reason the development module graph stopped is
not established by the retained trace. The harness now serves built
assets, and the new test covers startup and controlled reload at 4x CPU
throttling. |
| Star opacity remains zero on macOS | Reproduced on unchanged master
`f55759942b`. The old test clicked the rich editor, focused the star,
then used Tab and Shift+Tab. An instrumented baseline run captured the
sequence: Tab moved from the star to the next sidebar link, then the
editor bundle called `focus()` on its contenteditable before Shift+Tab.
That key reached the composer, where it is a work-mode shortcut. This
confirms a pending editor selection update stole focus; it was not the
browser skipping sidebar buttons. The assertion did not prove the star
retained focus. The test now moves the pointer away, focuses the
preceding sidebar link, presses Tab once, and asserts both actual focus
and opacity. This is test synchronization and keyboard traversal, not a
demonstrated CSS defect. |
| Runtime readiness exceeds 10 seconds | The old error only says `fetch
failed`. There is no child startup output in that failure, so it cannot
distinguish slow process startup from a refused or stalled probe. It
passed unchanged locally and took 3.416 seconds in attempt 3. Resource
contention is plausible but unproved. This PR does not claim a proven
historical runtime root cause: it isolates fixture registry/log files,
checks ports before spawn and after stop, checks live backends at
publication, and preserves transport errors, probe count, elapsed time,
and fixture startup timestamps for the next occurrence. |
| Later CI: recovery reply disappears after reload | Product
synchronization bug, distinct from the blank-page bootstrap failure.
Reproduced locally with a trace: the comments request started at
`21:56:07.443`, the server saved the reply at `.520`, and the first live
subscription started at `.541`. The reload fetched a successful run and
its complete log, but missed the comment event. The provider refreshed
after reconnects only. It now refreshes active queries on the first
connection too. A deterministic regression test fails before the fix. No
browser assertion was changed. |
| Later CI: Slack backoff and authorization tests | The 30-second
backoff assertion required more than 25 seconds to remain when it read
the saved action. CI spent 10.311 seconds in the test, exceeding that
five-second allowance. A local six-second read delay reproduces the
failure; the new transport-anchored lower and upper bounds pass the same
fault injection. The neighbouring authorization test ran three
independent fixtures in one test and timed out at 15 seconds. Each case
now has its own fixture cleanup and the normal per-test deadline, so
earlier cases do not remain active during later global worker sweeps. No
specific production slow call was established. |
| Self-hosted runner loses communication or shuts down | The original
lost-communication failure has no assertion. On final-head [attempt
1](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35925901613/attempts/1),
Build, Runner Vitest 1/2, and chat 2/3 ran on three separate fleet
instances. All received a runner shutdown signal at `22:04:55 UTC`,
within 35 milliseconds, then cancellation. Server shard 6/12 received
the same shutdown signal one minute later. All four were Spot
`m7i-flex.xlarge` instances in `us-east-1a`. No test assertion or build
error preceded those stops. This is infrastructure interruption; the
reason the fleet stopped the runners is not available in job logs. |

## What Changed

- Build the browser fixture UI into the static server's preferred
directory, `server/ui-dist`, and disable Vite middleware. Ignore these
generated assets. Start the source CLI directly from the repository
root, as required by the CLI invocation safety contract.
- Keep all existing chat assertions. Add first takeover and three
service-worker-controlled reloads under CPU throttling. Assert that the
page uses built module assets and that opening it creates no chat task.
- Use forward keyboard traversal from the Zeta link to its star. Check
focus before checking the reveal style.
- Give each runtime exposure test a temporary Paperclip home and restore
environment state after process cleanup.
- Check that reserved ports are free before spawn, serve the fixture
response before exposure, and become free after stop.
- Include the nested fetch error, probe count, and elapsed time in
readiness failures. Add a unit test for this diagnostic contract.
- Refresh active queries when the first live connection opens, covering
events missed during initial page loading. Keep reconnect toast
suppression unchanged.
- Measure Slack retry timing from the transport attempt and recovery
completion. This checks the full provider-requested delay without
spending a small wall-clock allowance on unrelated processing.
- Run each Slack authorization-revocation scenario as a separate test,
with cleanup between cases. All assertions remain.
- Document the browser fixture's build and serving mode. No configured
assertion deadline, readiness deadline, retry count, or skip was added.

## Verification

- Final-head [Linux CI, attempt
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35925901613/attempts/2):
**green**. All 52 check runs passed; two conditional checks were
skipped. The legacy Snyk status also passed. No pending or failed checks
remain.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm build` passed again after the final UI fix.
- Focused runtime suites: 38 passed, 3 existing platform skips.
- CLI invocation safety suite: 39 passed.
- Slack timing negative control: inserting a six-second delay before
reading the saved action fails the old assertion. All four revised
authorization/backoff cases pass with that same delay. The diagnostic
delay is not committed.
- Live update suites: 92 passed, including the new regression. UI
typecheck and token gates passed.
- Recovery browser negative control: the unchanged tests reproduced the
missing reply (1 failed, 9 passed). After the first-connection fix, all
six recovery paths passed twice (12 passed). Browser assertions and
deadlines are unchanged.
- Server typecheck passed after the Slack test adjustment.
- `GITHUB_WORKFLOW=PR pnpm test:run:general -- --group general-chat
--shard-index 0 --shard-count 3`: 342 passed. The other 682 tests belong
to the remaining shards; collection verified exact coverage.
- Final direct-source CLI launch: all five chat session tests passed.
- `PAPERCLIP_E2E_PORT=32993 PAPERCLIP_PLAYWRIGHT_CHANNEL=chrome pnpm
exec playwright test --config tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts
tests/e2e/agent-chat-sessions.spec.ts --repeat-each=3`: 15 passed,
including nine controlled reloads at 4x CPU throttling.
- `GITHUB_WORKFLOW=PR pnpm test:run:general -- --group
general-server-without-chat --shard-index 10 --shard-count 12`: 55 files
passed, 867 tests passed, 21 existing skips. An earlier run could not
initialize PostgreSQL because this Mac exhausted its System V
shared-memory slots. After reclaiming the orphaned segment from this
task's stopped browser server, the full shard passed.
- On final commit `1f1fafc08d`, [browser
4/8](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35925901613/job/107400837947)
passed all 16 tests; [browser
8/8](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35925901613/job/107400838155)
passed all 23 tests; [server
11/12](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35925901613/job/107400838328)
passed 887 tests with one existing skip. The readiness lifecycle case
took 1.842 seconds. Chat 1/3 also passed. All four jobs interrupted by
runner shutdowns passed unchanged on their single rerun.
- Greptile reviewed `1f1fafc08d`: **5/5**, with no unresolved comments.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` was attempted and stopped after confirming
failures outside this patch: a sibling `skills` directory shadows
bundled Slack/AgentMail skills; macOS rejects rename of read-only
skill-cache directories (`EACCES`, also reproduced in an isolated
filesystem probe); and the host exhausts PostgreSQL System V
shared-memory slots. Focused reruns confirmed these limits. The complete
Linux CI run is the repository-wide verification; the full local run is
not green.
- Baseline evidence: the original sidebar test failed on unchanged
master; a development-mode run at 4x CPU throttling passed six selected
cases, so CPU pressure alone did not reproduce the CI bootstrap stall.

## Risks

- Default browser tests now exercise the shipped static UI. They no
longer implicitly cover Vite middleware or HMR; use the development
server for those checks.
- The new browser startup test uses Chromium CDP, matching the only
configured browser project.
- Opening a live subscription now causes one active-query refresh to
close the initial event gap. This adds startup API reads but no
recurring poll.
- Runtime behavior and deadlines are unchanged except for error details.
The historical readiness stall remains unconfirmed; a green rerun alone
cannot establish its cause.
- Local verification runs on macOS. The runtime lifecycle checks also
passed on Linux CI.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The session identifies the model family as
GPT-6; an exact served model ID and context window size are not exposed.
Used reasoning, repository inspection, shell tools, code editing, and
test execution. No subagents were used.

DottaandPaperclip 14c7efa068 fix(workspaces): enable UI hot reload by default (#12612)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Managed worktrees can run a Paperclip development server for each
task
> - The managed runtime used the built UI when its service did not set
the UI development middleware option
> - This made new UI source changes require a manual build instead of a
hot reload
> - The runtime must supply the development default while it must keep
an explicit operator choice
> - This pull request enables the UI development middleware for new
managed Paperclip development services
> - The benefit is that UI edits appear in the managed worktree browser
without a manual build

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A new managed Paperclip development worktree served the built UI by
default. An operator had to set `PAPERCLIP_UI_DEV_MIDDLEWARE=true`
before UI source changes could hot reload.

**Expected behavior**

New managed Paperclip development worktrees must enable the UI
development middleware by default. An explicit
`PAPERCLIP_UI_DEV_MIDDLEWARE=false` value must continue to disable it.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a managed Paperclip development service without
`PAPERCLIP_UI_DEV_MIDDLEWARE`.
2. Open its UI.
3. Change a UI source file.
4. Observe that the browser does not receive the change until the UI is
built again.

**Paperclip version or commit**

This was reproduced on `317394456` from `master`.

**Deployment mode**

Local development with a managed worktree runtime.

## What Changed

- Set `PAPERCLIP_UI_DEV_MIDDLEWARE=true` for managed `paperclip-dev`
services when the service does not set a value.
- Keep explicit service values, including `false`.
- Add a regression test and document the default and the opt-out.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts -t "enables UI dev middleware by
default"`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm test:run` completed with 5,397 passing tests. Four existing
runtime-port tests could not use ports `42000` and `52000` because a
live managed runtime owns those ports on this host. The new regression
test passed separately.

## Risks

- Risk is low. The change applies only to managed services named
`paperclip-dev`.
- A service can keep the built UI by setting
`PAPERCLIP_UI_DEV_MIDDLEWARE=false`.
- There is no database or API contract change.

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

## Model Used

DottaandPaperclip b51112798f feat(apps): improve gateway and workspace connection UX (#12340)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - App connections must work in both the operator UI and agent tool
gateway.
> - The first stack layer adds secure remote connections.
> - Operators still need clear setup, test, and recovery states.
> - This pull request adds the gateway behavior and the workspace
connection experience.
> - The benefit is a connection flow that is easier to understand and
recover.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #11965

This is stack 2 of 11. It depends on stack 1 and replaces another
reviewable part of #11965.

## What Changed

- Improve remote tool gateway connection behavior.
- Add clearer app setup, test, and recovery states.
- Add focused server and UI tests for the new paths.
- Keep the diff isolated from later identity and catalog work.
- Stabilize DNS-pinned remote HTTP protocol fixtures and the
managed-runtime public-origin fixture for this independently tested
layer.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts` (150 passed)
- `pnpm test:run`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm build`

## Risks

- Gateway errors now surface through new user-facing states.
- A stale connection can require a new setup attempt.
- The change does not add a database migration.
- The injected HTTP transport and public URL are test-only fixtures;
production DNS pinning and runtime behavior are unchanged.

> I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This stack continues the existing app
connection work from #11965 and does not duplicate another planned item.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5. The runtime model ID and context window were not
exposed. The model used reasoning, tool use, and code execution.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 10d2781a29 feat(sandbox): add the duplex bridge broker, gated transport selection, and fixed observability (#11769)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Sandbox adapters provide controlled execution for untrusted provider
environments.
> - The sandbox channel needs one persistent duplex transport with
strict host control.
> - The transport must remain off unless the instance setting and
provider capability both allow it.
> - The host must detect loss, bound resource use, and expose only safe
telemetry.
> - This pull request adds the broker, gated selection, kill-switch
wiring, fixed observability, and real-process proof.
> - The benefit is safer sandbox execution with bounded failure behavior
and inspectable transport results.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists for this change. The related pull requests are
#11738 and #11750.

**Problem or motivation**

The sandbox duplex channel needs a host-controlled broker, strict
transport gates, bounded provider input, and safe loss telemetry.
Without these controls, a provider can cause replay, resource growth,
unsafe endpoint selection, or data exposure through telemetry.

**Proposed solution**

Add a host broker with nested time limits, request limits, one-shot
loss, and per-id deduplication. Select duplex transport only when the
instance setting and provider capability both equal true. Assign the
endpoint and nonce on the host. Reject invalid readiness data and use
the file bridge on failure. Add fixed redacted telemetry and a
real-process end-to-end test harness.

**Alternatives considered**

Keep the file bridge as the only transport. This avoids new channel
behavior but does not provide persistent duplex operation for supported
sandbox providers.

**Roadmap alignment**

This change supports the Cloud / Sandbox agents section in ROADMAP.md.

## What Changed

- Add the duplex bridge broker with bounded forward, response, and
gateway wait budgets.
- Bound concurrent requests, lifetime requests, and request-id bytes
before retention or forwarding.
- Select duplex transport only when both required gates are true.
- Assign the loopback port and nonce on the host and enforce a
liveness-only READY frame.
- Fall back to the file bridge after invalid readiness, contamination,
bind failure, or timeout.
- Carry the kill switch through the server, acpx engine, and six local
adapters.
- Add fixed, redacted duplex telemetry with a provider allowlist.
- Add a real-process end-to-end harness for readiness, round trips,
loss, and teardown.
- Add regression coverage for limits, loss, UTF-8 splits, concurrency,
and telemetry dimensions.

## Verification

- Adapter-utils, server, and Daytona typechecks pass locally.
- Adapter-utils tests pass, including the codec, broker,
execution-target sandbox, and real-process harness.
- Server kill-switch tests pass.
- Live Daytona tests pass with the required provider key and skip
without that key.
- The root pnpm-lock.yaml file has no diff.
- The branch contains ten commits after origin/master.

## Risks

- Duplex transport remains disabled unless both gates equal true.
- A provider remains an untrusted boundary and needs least-privilege
credentials and quotas.
- The server telemetry recorder stays deferred; the default recorder
does nothing.
- A provider that pre-binds the host port causes a fail-closed fallback
to the file bridge.
- The change adds no database migration and changes no root lockfile.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-5, exact model family GPT-5, large context window, reasoning,
and tool use. The model assisted with Git handoff validation and PR
preparation. The implementation commits came from the engineering
worktree.

417336f8be fix(workspaces): attach PR preparation to existing branches (#11703)
<!-- Write all pull request text in Simplified Technical English
(ASD-STE100): short sentences, one instruction per sentence, simple
approved vocabulary, and the active voice. -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Execution workspaces isolate an agent task from the primary
checkout.
> - Pull request preparation can need a branch that already contains
completed work.
> - The workspace policy could not require an exact existing branch.
> - Workspace cleanup also treated worktree creation as branch
ownership.
> - This pull request adds an exact existing-branch policy and separate
branch ownership metadata.
> - The benefit is safe pull request preparation that preserves every
existing commit and operator-owned branch.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A pull request preparation run could not pin its execution workspace to
an exact existing branch. Workspace reuse and cleanup could also confuse
worktree creation with branch ownership.

**Expected behavior**

The run must attach only to the requested branch in an isolated Git
worktree. It must fail if the branch is missing, busy, or inconsistent.
Cleanup must not delete a branch that Paperclip does not own.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a branch that contains completed work.
2. Configure a pull request preparation task to use that branch.
3. Start the task and observe that the prior policy cannot require the
exact branch.

**Paperclip version or commit**

This behavior reproduces on the base revision before this pull request.

**Deployment mode**

Local development with isolated Git worktrees.

## What Changed

- Add `existingBranch` to the execution workspace policy and shared
validation contracts.
- Require `existingBranch` to use an isolated Git worktree and reject
conflicting branch templates.
- Attach to the exact branch without creating, renaming, resetting, or
deleting it.
- Track branch ownership separately from worktree creation and use that
ownership during cleanup.
- Return HTTP 422 for invalid existing-branch settings on every
issue-producing route.
- Add a bounded repair script for existing pull request preparation
tasks.
- Add focused policy, route, heartbeat, runtime, and ready-comment
tests.
- Document the exact-branch behavior and safety rules.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/execution-workspace-policy.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-existing-branch-validation-status.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts
server/src/services/workspace-runtime-exposure.test.ts
server/src/services/workspace-runtime-ready-comment.test.ts` passed 335
tests.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed for all workspace projects.
- `pnpm test:run` passed 4,431 tests. Two unrelated embedded-Postgres
setup hooks timed out under aggregate load. Their isolated rerun passed
74 tests.
- `pnpm build` passed for all workspace projects.
- The two review regressions passed with 139 unrelated tests skipped.
- All latest-head CI gates passed after one unrelated timing-sensitive
test passed on rerun.
- Greptile scored the latest head 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.

## Risks

- Invalid workspace settings now return HTTP 422 instead of a generic
validation response.
- The exact branch must already exist and must not be checked out by
another worktree.
- The new policy fails closed when it cannot prove branch identity or
ownership.
- This change has no database migration.

discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex from the GPT-5 family assisted with this change. The
runtime did not expose its exact deployment ID or context window. The
agent used high-reasoning mode, repository tools, shell execution, and
code execution.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 69590890d4 Fix remote-only workspace base refs and pre-adapter retry loops (#11892)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Execution workspaces give each run an isolated directory and a
selected base ref
> - A remote-only base ref can fail before `git worktree add` when the
ref is not local
> - A setup failure before adapter dispatch must block the run without
an agent-only retry
> - This pull request resolves both remote-tracking ref forms and bounds
recovery for the same unresolved ref
> - The benefit is correct workspace setup and no repeated pre-adapter
recovery loop

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

This PR has no existing public issue. It addresses a workspace setup
bug.

**What happened?**

A remote-only base ref could fail before `git worktree add`. A setup
failure before adapter dispatch could also queue an agent-only
missing-comment retry.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip must resolve `fix/foo` and `origin/fix/foo` before it creates
a worktree. An unresolved ref must create a human-owned configuration
blocker. Paperclip must not queue an agent-only retry when the adapter
never starts.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Configure an execution workspace with a base ref that exists only on
the remote.
2. Start a run that creates a fresh worktree.
3. Repeat the run with the same unresolved ref.
4. Observe one configuration blocker and no repeated agent-only recovery
action.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`7664e323189bc219d8cbe00433b2e82b682b0504`

**Deployment mode**

Built from source with `pnpm dev`.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

Not adapter-specific. The failure occurs before adapter dispatch.

**Database mode**

Not database-related.

**Access context**

Both board and agent execution paths can use execution workspaces.

Related public pull request: `Refs #11123`.

## What Changed

- Resolve remote-only base refs with the authenticated fetch helper
before `git worktree add`.
- Support both unqualified refs and remote-tracking refs.
- Raise a `configuration_incomplete` blocker when the requested ref
remains unresolved.
- Suppress missing-comment retries when setup fails before adapter
dispatch.
- Add the requested ref to the recovery fingerprint to bound identical
recovery actions.
- Add focused tests and update the execution semantics document.

## Verification

- `tsc --noEmit` passed for the changed server code.
- Focused Vitest suites passed, including four base-ref tests,
fingerprint deduplication, and pre-adapter retry suppression.
- GitHub Actions must run the full pull request gate.

## Risks

Low risk. The change affects workspace setup before adapter dispatch.
Existing worktree reuse remains unchanged. An unresolved ref now creates
a clear configuration blocker instead of starting an adapter run.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-5; exact model ID `gpt-5`; agentic tool use and repository
review.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 9af1e75629 fix(server): handle the runtime service exit persist when a parent row is gone (#11861)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A runtime service (e.g. a dev server an agent started) runs as a
child process tracked against a project row
> - When that child exits on its own, the host records its terminal
status in the database as a detached, best-effort persist
> - A caller can delete the project (or company) while the child still
runs, so the `project_id` foreign key rejects that persist, and the
detached write had no error handler, turning the rejection into an
unhandled crash
> - This pull request wraps the exit-time persist in a try/catch and
logs the failure instead of crashing the host
> - The benefit is a host that survives a project deleted out from under
a still-running runtime service, instead of taking down the whole
process on an unrelated cleanup

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No existing GitHub issue covers this. Filing it directly here, following
the bug report template.

**What happened?**

`registerRuntimeService`'s child `exit` handler in
`server/src/services/workspace-runtime.ts` runs a detached, unawaited
persist of the terminal service status. If the parent project row was
deleted while the service was still running, the `project_id` foreign
key rejects the write. The detached persist had no error handler, so the
rejection surfaced as an unhandled promise rejection and could crash the
host.

**Expected behavior**

The exit-time persist is best effort: every error inside it is caught
and logged, so a foreign-key rejection (or any other persist failure)
never crashes the host.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a runtime service tied to a project.
2. Delete the project (or company) while the service is still running.
3. Let the child process exit on its own.
4. Observe the detached persist throws an unhandled foreign-key error.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`933749e01f74e82ce5d315c071be534d04e01158`

**Deployment mode**

Local dev (`pnpm dev`) and server unit tests (embedded Postgres).

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

None — this is runtime-service lifecycle infrastructure, not
adapter-specific.

**Database mode**

Embedded/managed Postgres — the fix concerns the `project_id` foreign
key on the runtime-service table.

**Access context**

Any board or agent path that starts a runtime service (e.g. a dev
server) tied to a project that can later be deleted.

## What Changed

- Wrap the exit-handler's `cleanupRecordExposure` /
`removeLocalServiceRegistryRecord` / `persistRuntimeServiceRecord`
sequence in a try/catch; log a warning on failure instead of letting the
rejection escape.
- Terminate real child processes in the embedded-postgres test teardown
before the row deletes, so a left-over child does not exit later and
write a row that references an already-deleted project.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts`
covers the new exit-persist-after-parent-delete regression case. This
suite spins up embedded Postgres and did not finish inside this review's
local time budget, so I did not confirm a local pass — deferring to CI,
which runs it as part of the normal server test job.

## Risks

Low risk. The change only adds error handling around an existing
best-effort, detached persist — it does not change the happy-path
behavior or the persisted schema. A persist failure is now logged
instead of crashing the host, which is strictly safer.

## Model Used

Claude, Sonnet 5 (claude-sonnet-5); assisted with repository-grounded
diff review and drafted this PR description from the commit and code
history. No functional code in this PR was authored by Claude — the fix
itself is Priya Raman's, preserved with original authorship intact.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip b83e14ad2c fix(runtime): stop the readiness probe from stealing the guest exposure port (#11788)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The workspace runtime starts guest processes and exposes their
ports.
> - The readiness wait bound the guest port to test whether it was
ready.
> - That bind could take the port before the guest process used it.
> - This pull request reads listener state without a competing bind and
recovers from a real port collision.
> - The benefit is stable runtime exposure and a clear recovery path for
a genuine collision.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The managed HTTPS exposure test failed intermittently with `listen
EADDRINUSE` on `127.0.0.1:42000`. The readiness wait bound the guest
port before the guest process could bind it.

**Expected behavior**

The readiness wait must not hold the guest port. The runtime must
recover when an external process owns the assigned port.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run `npx vitest run
server/src/services/workspace-runtime-exposure.test.ts` from the
repository root.
2. Inject a delayed guest bind and a widened readiness-probe hold.
3. Observe the port collision before this fix and the successful retry
after this fix.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`b375bbd913cb2edc8e077f4339ce0745e53bd462`

**Deployment mode**

Built from source with the server test suite.

**Installation method**

Built from source with pnpm.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

Not adapter-specific. This is a core runtime test.

**Database mode**

Not database-related.

**Relevant logs or output**

Before this fix, the test reported `listen EADDRINUSE: address already
in use 127.0.0.1:42000`.

## What Changed

- Read listener presence from `/proc` on Linux instead of binding the
guest port.
- Keep the bind probe as the fallback on non-Linux hosts.
- Capture the current port owner when an exposed guest exits with
`EADDRINUSE`.
- Quarantine the app and HMR pair, then allocate the next free port pair
within the existing range.
- Add a deterministic regression test for quarantine, re-allocation, and
self-diagnosis logging.

## Verification

- Run `npx vitest run
server/src/services/workspace-runtime-exposure.test.ts` from the
repository root.
- The target suite passes 19 tests locally.
- The related runtime suites pass 105, 128, and 21 tests locally.
- Run `tsc -p server/tsconfig.json` to check the changed server files.
- CI must pass the general server shard and all required checks.
- Greptile must report 5/5 with no open P2 comments, recommendations, or
follow-ups.

## Risks

The Linux readiness path now depends on `/proc` listener data. Non-Linux
hosts retain the existing bind-probe fallback. The port range and
allocation limit do not change.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-5. This agent used tool calls for repository checks and
GitHub PR management. Priya Raman authored the code change.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 5a1ce7aed8 fix(server): stamp built commit into service.version (#11748)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server emits OpenTelemetry spans so operators can trace agent
work
> - Each span needs a service version that identifies the code that
produced it
> - The current service version comes from a static environment value
and can become stale after a rebuild
> - This pull request records the built commit and resolves the service
version from the build stamp, runtime Git, the environment, or an
unknown fallback
> - The benefit is trace data that identifies the correct built commit
during development and deployment

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The server used a static `OTEL_SERVICE_VERSION` value for every
OpenTelemetry span. Rebuilds could produce traces with an old commit
value.

**Expected behavior**

The server should report the built commit when a build stamp exists. It
should use runtime Git, the environment value, or `unknown` as fallback.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Set `OTEL_SERVICE_VERSION` to an old commit value.
2. Build the server at a different commit.
3. Start the server and inspect the OpenTelemetry service version.
4. Confirm that the built commit takes precedence over the old
environment value.

## What Changed

- Add a build script that writes the short Git commit to
`dist/build-info.json`.
- Resolve `service.version` from the build stamp, runtime Git, the
environment, or `unknown`.
- Log the resolved service version once during server startup.
- Add tests for the resolution order and safe behavior without Git.
- Document the resolution order in `doc/observability.md`.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server build`
- `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/service-version.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- Confirm that the build stamp contains the short commit.
- Confirm that the stamp wins over the environment value.
- Confirm that a build without Git exits successfully without a stamp.

## Risks

The server now prefers the built commit over `OTEL_SERVICE_VERSION`. A
build without Git uses the existing environment value or `unknown`. The
change needs no schema migration and has a single-commit rollback path.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution. The runtime does not
expose the context window size or reasoning mode.

bd059a073d fix(workspaces): make managed runtimes reliable across restarts (#11740)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Execution workspaces need isolated databases, ports, and runtime
services
> - Concurrent workspaces could reuse ports or lose service ownership
after a restart
> - A markerless worktree also needed seed recovery, but normal
markerless instances still needed to boot
> - This pull request makes seed, port, and service ownership state
explicit and recoverable
> - It also checks live process and listener identity before it reclaims
shared resources
> - The benefit is reliable workspace startup, restart, adoption, and
concurrent provisioning

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Managed workspaces could lose runtime service ownership after a
control-plane restart. Concurrent worktrees could also reuse a port when
their parent paths differed. A seed recovery change made every
markerless instance resolve a worktree seed source, so normal instances
without a source could not start.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip must preserve healthy managed services across restarts. It
must reserve unique ports across worktree parents. It must provision a
registered markerless worktree, but it must skip seed work for a normal
markerless instance.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start two managed worktrees under different parent paths at the same
time.
2. Restart the control plane while a managed service stays alive.
3. Start Paperclip with a config that has no seed markers and no
registered worktree source.
4. Observe duplicate port selection, lost service adoption, or a
seed-source startup error.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Current `master` plus the workspace runtime reliability changes in this
pull request.

**Deployment mode**

Local development with managed execution workspaces and embedded
Postgres.

## What Changed

- Added a shared port registry with lease heartbeats, process identity
checks, and live listener probes.
- Reserved worktree ports across custom parent paths and repaired
duplicate legacy assignments.
- Preserved and adopted healthy managed services across control-plane
restarts.
- Reconciled guest bind modes and verified listener ownership before
termination or reuse.
- Provisioned registered markerless worktree databases and kept normal
markerless instance startup as a no-op.
- Added CLI, shared, server, and shell regression tests for seed, port,
listener, restart, and adoption behavior.
- Updated the worktree development documentation.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run cli/src/__tests__/worktree.test.ts
--reporter=verbose` — 63 tests passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/shared/src/worktree-port-registry.test.ts --reporter=verbose` —
5 tests passed.
- Focused runtime Vitest set — 199 tests passed across 37 suites.
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/provision-worktree-self-heal.test.mjs`
— 10 tests passed.
- `git diff --check` passed.

## Risks

- Port reservation now depends on lease and process identity data. The
fallback listener probe prevents early reclamation when process metadata
is incomplete.
- Runtime adoption is stricter about bind and owner identity. The tests
cover healthy adoption, stale records, PID reuse, and unrelated
listeners.
- Markerless seed detection now separates registered worktrees from
normal instances. The tests cover both paths.
- There are no database schema migrations.

> - Paperclip manages agent work in isolated execution workspaces.
> - A workspace depends on a valid database seed before it can run.
> - Deferred seed failures were hidden behind a successful provision
status.
> - The seed restore also had two possible owners for the embedded
PostgreSQL process.
> - That allowed the target database to stop while the restore was still
running.
> - This pull request makes seed failures visible and gives the seed
process sole lifecycle ownership.
> - The benefit is that workspace provisioning reports the real result
and does not stop its own target database.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #11684

**What happened?**

Initial worktree provisioning could report success before its deferred
database seed completed. The seed restore could also reuse a target
embedded PostgreSQL process with another shutdown owner. This could stop
the target database during the restore.

**Expected behavior**

Workspace status must show a failed deferred seed as a failure. The seed
restore must own the target embedded PostgreSQL process until restore,
migration, and validation finish.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Provision a worktree with deferred database seeding.
2. Make the seed manifest end in a failed state while the command exits
with code 0.
3. Observe that the provision status remains successful on `master`.
4. Start a seed restore against an already-running target embedded
PostgreSQL process.
5. Observe that another lifecycle owner can stop the target during
restore.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`51a843e135`

**Deployment mode**

Local dev with execution workspaces and embedded PostgreSQL.

## What Changed

- Add a first-class `workspace_seed` operation for deferred database
seeds.
- Require terminal, verified seed evidence before the seed operation
succeeds.
- Surface the seed phase and failure metadata in workspace status and UI
state.
- Give the seed process exclusive lifecycle ownership of the target
embedded PostgreSQL process.
- Suppress imported embedded-Postgres exit hooks without removing
existing host listeners.
- Record a credential-safe shutdown diagnostic in failed seed manifests.

## Verification

- The original deferred-seed commit passed 4 server tests, 24
workspace-status UI tests, shared/server/UI typechecks, and the UI token
gate.
- The original PostgreSQL-lifecycle commit passed 3 lifecycle tests, 3
ownership/diagnostic tests, 1 real embedded-Postgres seed integration,
and the affected package typechecks.
- No local tests were rerun after the clean cherry-pick because the
operator requested the shortest landing path.
- Review the automatic PR checks for the clean `origin/master` replay.

## Risks

- A live target database now causes an early error instead of being
reused. The error includes recovery guidance.
- Workspace consumers must handle the new `workspace_seed` operation
type. Shared types and UI state handling are updated in this pull
request.

DottaandPaperclip a2bf936f9a feat(workspaces): sign the workspace login handoff and gate readiness (#11671)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Managed worktree services run isolated Paperclip instances with
cloned databases.
> - A reachable service was reported as ready even when its database,
runtime identity, or login path was not usable.
> - The first candidate added verified database seeding and managed
repair in #11665.
> - This pull request consolidates that candidate with signed login
handoff and a complete readiness contract.
> - Post-QA fixes close five defects in repair identity, repair
responses, UI retry, seed journal handling, and seed-source trust.
> - The benefit is a workspace that either opens safely or reports one
accurate recovery action.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this work, so the problem is described
here.

**What happened**

Managed workspace URLs could return HTTP 200 and report ready while
login failed. QA also found cases where repair used the wrong instance
identity, returned a generic error, left the UI stuck, rejected a safe
journal lag, or trusted a mutable workspace manifest.

**Expected behavior**

Opening a ready workspace signs the board user in to the correct
isolated instance. Provisioning and repair use a registered source and
report a structured recovery state.

**Actual behavior**

Entry depended on a password copied into the clone. Several failure
paths could publish stale readiness, hide the repair precondition, or
trust state that the workspace could modify.

**Additional context**

This pull request includes the commits first published in #11665. That
pull request keeps the original base head for review history. This
consolidated pull request is the merge candidate. Related open readiness
work includes #11575 and #11621.

## What Changed

- Adds a short-lived, signed, single-use login ticket. It binds the
user, workspace, instance, and runtime origin.
- Exchanges the ticket through Better Auth. It creates the session and
cookie through the supported adapter path.
- Adds protected workspace readiness fields for the database, clone
data, login handoff, seed phase, and runtime identity.
- Fails readiness closed when the guest has no company or
execution-workspace binding.
- Binds ticket issuance to the exact cloned user and active company
membership selected for the handoff.
- Verifies every current active board identity through the exact-user
handoff before publication or reuse.
- Gates managed runtime publication on the readiness contract and the
recorded worktree instance identity.
- Refreshes runtime work products from the live runtime row after a port
change.
- Adds one workspace access card with ready, degraded, repairing, and
failed states.
- Uses the runtime response identity for repair. It returns structured
repair precondition errors.
- Lets a valid source journal lag converge during provisioning.
- Binds seed and repair manifests to a source registered outside the
agent-writable worktree.
- Clears recovered UI errors so a successful retry can open the
workspace.
- Makes runtime tests register canonical sources and avoid ports owned
by live host listeners.
- Keeps Vitest on source suites when compiled `dist` trees exist.
- Isolates CLI and adapter tests from ambient AWS and runtime API
environment variables.
- Preserves a 404 response for cross-company workspace ID lookups before
runtime authorization.
- Makes concurrent single-flight coverage independent of
path-canonicalization scheduling order.

## Verification

The following checks passed on the integrated head:

```sh
pnpm -r typecheck
pnpm build
pnpm check:token-gates
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations
```

- The server source lane passed 420 files and 4,953 tests. Five tests
were skipped.
- The CLI lane passed 57 files and 385 tests.
- The database lane passed 26 files and 97 tests.
- The shared package passed 58 files and 506 tests.
- The adapter utility lane passed 640 tests. Four tests were skipped.
- The Claude adapter passed 220 tests. One test was skipped.
- The Codex adapter passed 323 tests.
- The OpenClaw adapter passed 13 tests.
- The OpenCode adapter passed 42 tests.
- The plugin SDK passed 45 tests.
- The workspace runtime suite passed 124 tests.
- The caller-scoped readiness and handoff suite passed 52 tests.
- The workspace provisioning shell suite passed 7 tests.
- The runtime exposure suite passed 17 tests while live host mappings
occupied fixed test ports.
- `git diff --check` passed and the worktree is clean.

The serialized route lane will run in GitHub CI with its normal shards.
No deployment or active-workspace migration was performed.

## Risks

- This is a medium-risk authentication and runtime-readiness change.
- The login ticket uses exact origin, workspace, instance, and user
binding. It has a short expiry and a one-time nonce.
- Runtime publication is stricter. A real readiness, identity, per-user
handoff, or control-plane database disagreement now blocks publication.
- This pull request supersedes #11665 as the merge candidate. Close
#11665 after this pull request merges.
- No new database migration is included. The lockfile and workflow files
are unchanged.
- Deployment and active-workspace migration are intentionally outside
this pull request.

## Model Used

Claude Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5[1m]`), 1M context, extended thinking, tool
use, and code execution produced the main candidate. OpenAI GPT-5
(`gpt-5`) through Codex, with agentic reasoning, tool use, and code
execution, integrated the post-QA fixes and hardened the test gates. The
Codex context-window size was not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip 1b4de0b65c fix(workspaces): recover degraded runtime databases (#11651)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Managed workspaces run local web services and embedded PostgreSQL
databases
> - A listening process could return an unhealthy response and still be
reused
> - Embedded PostgreSQL failures had no bounded restart owner
> - Cleanup inferred ownership from a branch slug instead of exact
persisted instance data
> - This pull request validates runtime health, supervises database
recovery, and uses exact cleanup ownership
> - The benefit is reliable replacement of degraded services without
deleting active instances

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Workspace reconciliation could reuse a degraded Paperclip process after
any successful HTTP response. Embedded PostgreSQL could stop without
bounded recovery. Cleanup could infer database ownership from a branch
slug and select the wrong instance.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip must require a semantic healthy response from the assigned
loopback listener. It must replace degraded processes. It must supervise
embedded PostgreSQL with bounded restarts. Cleanup must use exact
persisted worktree and instance-root ownership.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a managed workspace runtime.
2. Make its health endpoint return HTTP 200 with an unhealthy status, or
stop its embedded PostgreSQL process.
3. Reconcile the workspace or run instance cleanup.
4. Observe that the old implementation can reuse the degraded runtime or
infer ownership from its branch slug.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Current `master` before this pull request.

**Deployment mode**

Local dev with managed workspace services.

## What Changed

- Require `{ "status": "ok" }` from the assigned loopback health
endpoint before runtime reuse or adoption.
- Refresh persisted runtime health and replace degraded managed
processes.
- Add bounded embedded PostgreSQL restart supervision with coordinated
shutdown and hot-restart support.
- Stop the unhealthy web process when PostgreSQL recovery is exhausted
so reconciliation can replace it.
- Require exact persisted instance-root ownership before cleanup can
reclaim an embedded database.
- Add focused regression tests for degraded HTTP responses, ownership
mismatches, bounded recovery, active instance preservation, and
confirmed orphan reclamation.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server test --
src/embedded-postgres-supervisor.test.ts
src/services/workspace-instance-cleanup.test.ts
src/services/workspace-runtime.test.ts
src/services/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `git diff --check`
- The full local stable test runner also found host-owned listeners on
ports 42000 and 52000. Those listeners conflict with the exposure test
fixture. The focused changed suites pass, and CI runs on a clean host.

## Risks

- A custom process that returns HTTP 2xx without the Paperclip health
contract is now degraded by design.
- Restart exhaustion terminates the managed web process. The runtime
reconciler then starts a clean process.
- Cleanup now fails closed when persisted ownership is missing. This can
retain an ambiguous orphan for manual review.

DottaandPaperclip 8087661bb8 fix: bound workspace Git scans (#11572)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Workspaces let users and agents inspect files that belong to an
issue
> - Changed-file views use full-tree Git status scans
> - Many issue views could start those scans at the same time and make
the server unresponsive
> - Route-level limits did not protect the process or coalesce work for
one repository
> - This pull request adds one bounded scheduler for every expensive
workspace Git scan
> - It also starts browser scans only when the file panel is open and
visible
> - The benefit is bounded child-process use and responsive health
checks during request storms

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Many changed-file requests could start full `git status --porcelain=v1
-z --untracked-files=all` scans at the same time. One production
incident produced about 270 direct Git child processes. The Node process
stayed alive but stopped answering health requests in time.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip must bound expensive Git work across all companies, actors,
issues, repositories, and browser tabs. Duplicate requests for one
worktree must share work. Excess requests must fail fast with a
retryable response. Hidden or closed file panels must not start scans.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open changed-file views for many issue and actor keys.
2. Send requests for two large workspace roots at the same time.
3. Observe that route-level limiter keys allow many full Git scans to
run together.
4. Observe delayed health responses and accumulated Git children.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master before commit `43ab441f0f`.

**Deployment mode**

Self-hosted server with local workspace repositories.

## What Changed

- Add a process-wide scheduler with configurable concurrency, queue
capacity, timeout, and cache TTL.
- Add fair admission, a bounded queue, canonical worktree keys,
single-flight joins, and bounded result caching.
- Add subprocess timeouts, TERM-to-KILL escalation, bounded output,
waiter cancellation, and slot cleanup.
- Route full-tree status work from file resources, workspace runtime,
execution workspaces, and adapter overlay sync through the scheduler.
- Return stable retryable `503` and `504` error codes for saturation and
timeout.
- Add structured logs with safe workspace hashes, durations, queue
state, cache use, joins, and terminal outcomes.
- Gate UI queries on panel and document visibility. Cancel queries on
close, hide, unmount, and workspace change.
- Disable focus and reconnect bursts. Keep one explicit refresh action
and a retryable unavailable state.
- Document the 10-second default freshness tradeoff and all
configuration variables.
- Add unit, route, UI, adapter, and deterministic 500-request load
coverage.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/workspace-git-operation-scheduler.test.ts
src/__tests__/file-resources-git-scan-load.test.ts --reporter=dot` — 16
tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/WorkspaceFileBrowser.test.tsx
src/lib/page-visibility.test.ts --reporter=dot` — 38 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec vitest run
src/git-workspace-sync.test.ts --reporter=dot` — 16 tests passed.
- Existing file-resource, workspace-runtime, and execution-workspace
regression selections passed.
- Two cleanup safety regressions prove failed scans preserve the
worktree before archive and at the final deletion fence.
- Before: the incident produced about 270 Git children and health
requests timed out.
- After: 500 concurrent requests across 500 issue keys, 73 actors, and
two roots started two underlying scans. Peak scan concurrency was 2. All
500 requests succeeded. Health p99 was 4.94 ms. The harness found zero
unreaped children.
- The full local Vitest run passed 4,267 tests. Ten existing fixed-port
HTTPS exposure tests could not run because this host already owns
Tailnet listeners on ports 42000 and 52000. Clean GitHub CI is the final
full-suite result.
- Latest-head GitHub CI passed all required test, typecheck, build,
canary, e2e, policy, and security gates.
- Greptile completed at 5/5 with zero unresolved comments,
recommendations, or follow-ups.

## Risks

- Changed-file results can be up to 10 seconds old by default. Explicit
refresh remains available.
- A full queue returns a retryable `503` instead of waiting without a
bound.
- A scan that exceeds the default 8-second deadline returns a retryable
`504` and terminates its process group.
- Operators can tune all limits with documented environment variables.
Safe defaults protect local and shared servers.

Dotta 1a17cbf232 fix(runtime-exposure): mediate leased app/HMR port pairs centrally (#11526)
<!-- Simplified Technical English (ASD-STE100). -->

> **Stacked pull request.** This targets #11525, which targets #11524.
Merge those first. Review only the last commit, `fix(runtime-exposure):
mediate leased app/HMR port pairs centrally`.

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip starts managed runtime services for execution workspaces,
and #11524 and #11525 make those services reachable over Tailscale HTTPS
on a loopback port pair
> - An HTTPS lane is only safe if one execution workspace holds its port
pair exclusively for the whole life of the lane
> - A managed start reused a pair that a stopped but still leased
workspace owned. Paperclip reported that workspace stopped and its
exposure removed, while the host listeners and the Serve mappings for
those ports were live and belonged to an unrelated workspace
> - The cause is that ownership was decided in more than one place, and
no single place saw persisted reservations, live listeners, and Serve
mappings together
> - This pull request adds one mediator that owns the decision, and
makes every mismatch fail closed while naming the conflicting workspace
> - The benefit is that a later start cannot collide with, adopt, or
interfere with another issue's service, and cannot produce security
evidence attributed to the wrong workspace

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists. The change follows the bug report
template.

**What happened**

A managed HTTPS start reused the loopback port pair of a stopped but
still exclusively leased execution workspace. The ports were then held
by an unrelated workspace. Paperclip continued to report the first
workspace's runtime as stopped and its exposure as removed, while the
host listeners and the `tailscale serve` mappings for those exact ports
were live and owned by the other workspace.

**Expected behavior**

An active execution-workspace lease reserves its app and HMR pair until
the lease is explicitly released or torn down. A start that finds the
pair held by a different workspace fails closed and names the conflict.
Paperclip never adopts a process or a Serve mapping across
execution-workspace ids.

**Root cause**

Three separate readers each had an incomplete view:

- `deprovisionExposure` replaces the exposure status with a fresh
`removed` status whose `listeners` array is empty. A later reader asking
"which ports did this row own?" gets no answer, so a stopped row's pair
looked free even while the row was leased.
- Startup reconciliation adopted a persisted service by `row.port`
alone, then terminated the local service when its health check failed.
Under the `project_primary` strategy, where workspaces share a working
directory, the containment check cannot separate two workspaces, so the
sweep could adopt and then kill an unrelated workspace's live service.
- Allocation checked live port availability but never checked which
pairs active leases still reserve.

**Impact**

Two workspaces can collide on one lane. A start can adopt or interfere
with another issue's service, and evidence about an exposure can be
attributed to the wrong workspace.

## What Changed

- Add `server/src/services/runtime-exposure/port-reservation.ts`, one
mediator that decides allocation and ownership from persisted
reservations plus live listener and Serve ownership together.
- Reserve a pair for as long as its execution workspace holds an active
lease, until the lease is explicitly released or torn down.
- Re-derive a row's pair from the `port` column and `deriveViteHmrPort`
instead of the status `listeners` array, so a `removed` status no longer
hides which ports a leased row still reserves.
- Refuse to adopt a process or a Serve mapping across
execution-workspace ids. A mismatch fails closed and names the
conflicting workspace and issue.
- Treat an unattributable holder as a conflict. A Serve mapping that is
present but cannot be attributed means the host has something there that
could not be named, so it fails closed instead of falling through to
"allowed".
- Make reconciliation surface a stopped or removed row whose reserved
ports are live or mapped by another workspace, instead of reporting
success.
- Leave manual and unknown Serve mappings alone on release and teardown.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run --root server src/services/runtime-exposure/
src/__tests__/workspace-runtime-exposure-reservation.test.ts
src/services/workspace-runtime-exposure-backfill.test.ts` — 8 files,
**112 tests pass**.
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` — **0 errors** with
`@paperclipai/plugin-sdk` built.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` — migration numbering and
safety checks pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/tailscale-https-broker test` — 87 tests
pass.

The five required regressions are covered by
`workspace-runtime-exposure-reservation.test.ts` and
`port-reservation.test.ts`:

1. Reuse of a stopped-but-leased pair is denied.
2. Cross-execution-workspace process adoption is denied.
3. A Serve mapping ownership mismatch is visible and fails closed.
4. Concurrent allocators return unique pairs.
5. Release and teardown make the pair reusable without harming manual or
unknown mappings.

Note for reviewers:
`server/src/services/workspace-runtime-exposure.test.ts` fails on a
development host that already runs an HTTPS canary holding ports 42000,
42001, 52000, and 52001, because that fixture stubs port availability
and then allocates into the occupied range. It is unaffected by this
change and is expected to pass in CI, where no such listener exists.
Please read the CI result rather than a local run on an exposing host.

## Risks

- The mediator is now the single decision point for allocation and
adoption, so a defect in it affects every managed start. This is
deliberate: the incident happened because the decision was spread across
three readers, and concentrating it is the fix.
- Behavior becomes stricter. A start that previously reused a pair now
fails closed with a named conflict. This is the intended change, and it
can surface pre-existing collisions that used to pass silently.
- The remediation path does not stop an unrelated service that already
holds a pair. It reports the conflict instead, so it cannot disturb
another issue's running lane.
- No migration runs in this pull request.

Dotta 4c349fe6b7 feat(runtime): managed Tailscale HTTPS lifecycle, durable runtime leases, and bounded control recovery (#11525)
<!-- Simplified Technical English (ASD-STE100). -->

> **Stacked pull request.** This targets #11524. Merge #11524 first.
Review only the second commit, `feat(runtime): managed Tailscale HTTPS
lifecycle...`.

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip starts and supervises managed runtime services, so an
agent's branch can be previewed while the agent works
> - The previous pull request added the host broker, the shared
contract, and the database columns, but no code used them
> - A managed runtime can only be exposed over HTTPS if it holds a
stable loopback port pair for the whole life of the service. The current
control path cannot promise this: two controls can race the same
execution workspace, a stranded control can stay `running` forever, and
a start can adopt a port it does not own
> - This pull request adds the HTTPS lifecycle and the control-path
hardening that the lifecycle depends on
> - The benefit is that a managed preview becomes reachable from another
device, and a managed control now always reaches a terminal state

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists. The change follows the feature request
template.

**Subsystem affected**

Managed workspace runtime services, workspace operations, the execution
workspace routes, and the workspace runtime UI.

**Problem or motivation**

A managed runtime service is reachable only on loopback, so a preview
cannot be opened from a phone or a second computer. Exposing it safely
needs an exclusively held port pair. Three existing gaps block that.
Overlapping controls can race the same workspace. A control whose owner
dies stays `running` and blocks the lane forever. Port allocation does
not confirm that the process holding a port is the process Paperclip
spawned.

**Proposed solution**

Add the exposure lifecycle on top of the broker from #11524: reserve
before spawn, expose after readiness, validate the public URL, and
remove on stop. In the same change, make managed controls mutually
exclusive per workspace, give each control a durable issue-owned lease
and a terminal state, and verify port ownership before use.

**Alternatives considered**

- Add HTTPS exposure without the control hardening. This was rejected
because a raced or stranded control makes exposure point at the wrong
process.
- Guard the lane with an in-memory lock only. This was rejected because
the lock does not survive a server restart, so the lane can be lost or
double-claimed.
- Trust the requested bind address. This was rejected because a checkout
that predates managed HTTPS overwrites `PAPERCLIP_BIND` from its own
`--bind` argument, and then binds the wildcard address.

**Roadmap alignment**

This completes the managed workspace runtime capability that already
exists. It adds no new product surface beyond the HTTPS link.

**Additional context**

This is the second of three pull requests. The third adds central
mediation of leased port pairs.

## What Changed

Exposure lifecycle:

- Add the server-side broker client and the exposure lifecycle manager.
The manager reserves the mapping before spawn, exposes after backend
readiness, validates the public URL, and removes the mapping on stop.
- Default managed worktree runtimes to `tailscale_https`, read exposure
intent from legacy `expose` blocks, and backfill runtimes that are still
HTTP-only.
- Verify listener ownership for the app port and its Vite HMR companion
before the broker is asked to expose anything. An unrelated listener on
either port fails the start closed.
- Force the loopback bind through argv instead of environment hints.
Leave a non-Paperclip service's `--bind` argument alone.
- Probe loopback for readiness instead of the public URL, and give Vite
HMR its own loopback-bound server in middleware mode.
- Preserve operator-declared Serve mappings across the managed
lifecycle, so cleanup never removes a mapping that Paperclip did not
create.
- Name which listener predicate denied an expose, so an operator can act
on the message.

Control-path hardening:

- Make `start`, `stop`, `restart`, and job `run` mutually exclusive per
execution workspace. An overlap gets `409
workspace_runtime_control_in_progress`, and authorization is still
checked first.
- Take a durable exclusivity lease on the execution workspace, owned by
the controlling issue. A different issue gets `409
workspace_runtime_lease_conflict` before any operation is recorded.
Board and operator actions bypass the lease.
- Give every control a terminal state. Each control stamps its owning
process and pid, heartbeats while it runs, and has a wall-clock ceiling.
Recovery of a stranded control uses a compare-and-swap on `updated_at`,
so a live owner is never stolen.
- Bound readiness probes, verify allocated port ownership on POSIX and
Windows, harden sibling port allocation, and reconcile desired runtimes
on server startup.
- Surface exposure state and bounded runtime errors in the workspace
runtime UI.
- Record the new behavior in `doc/DEVELOPING.md`.

## Verification

Focused checks, all run on this branch:

- `npx tsc --noEmit -p server/tsconfig.json` — 139 errors, exactly the
count on `master`. All 139 come from the unbuilt
`@paperclipai/plugin-sdk` package.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — clean.
- Server suites, 177 tests pass across 9 files:
`workspace-runtime.test.ts`, `workspace-runtime-leases.test.ts`,
`workspace-runtime-control-recovery.test.ts`,
`execution-workspace-runtime-control-conflict.test.ts`,
`execution-workspace-runtime-lease-route.test.ts`,
`workspace-operations-reconciliation.test.ts`,
`workspace-runtime-start-terminality.test.ts`, `app-hmr-port.test.ts`,
and `workspace-runtime-ready-comment.test.ts`.
- Exposure unit suites, 77 tests pass: `src/services/runtime-exposure/`
and `workspace-runtime-exposure-backfill.test.ts`.
- UI: `WorkspaceRuntimeControls.test.tsx` and
`WorkspaceServiceControlBar.test.tsx` — 34 tests pass.

**One suite is red on the development host and is expected to be green
in CI.** `server/src/services/workspace-runtime-exposure.test.ts` has 10
failures on the machine used to write this branch. The cause is host
contamination, not the code. That machine already runs an HTTPS canary
that holds ports 42000, 42001, 52000, and 52001 on a tailnet address.
The suite allocates from the same range, so the new listener-ownership
check correctly reports:

```
listener_ownership_mismatch — port 42000 is bound to 100.123.243.20, 127.0.0.1,
fd7a:115c:a1e0:0:0:0:dd3a:f314 ... instead of loopback only
```

A CI runner has no listener on those ports, so the check sees loopback
only and the suite passes. Please confirm this from the CI result on
this pull request rather than from a local run on a host that already
exposes a managed runtime. This is a real weakness of the current test
fixture, and the third pull request in the series removes it by
allocating the pair through a central mediator instead of a stubbed
availability check.

`workspace-runtime-https-live-exercise.test.ts` needs a live `tailscale`
host and was not run locally.

## Risks

- This is the behavior-bearing pull request of the three, so it carries
the most risk.
- Two new `409` responses appear on managed control routes. A caller
that assumed a control always starts must handle a conflict. Board and
operator actions are deliberately exempt, so an agent lease cannot lock
an operator out.
- Managed worktree runtimes now default to `tailscale_https`. If the
host has no working broker, the start fails closed and reports the
exposure failure instead of silently serving plain HTTP. This is
intended, and it is the reason the failure message names the denying
predicate.
- Startup reconciliation touches persisted runtime rows. It is scoped to
desired state and does not resurrect a service that never came up.
- The lease has a 30-minute time to live and explicit release paths, so
a crashed owner cannot hold a lane forever.
- No migration runs in this pull request. The tables and columns land in
#11524.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 69027cbaae fix(workspaces): reopen archived git worktree for managed_checkout projects (#11395)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Execution workspaces give agent tasks isolated Git worktrees
> - Archived isolated workspaces must reopen against a live project
checkout
> - A managed_checkout project has no project workspace directory in its
row
> - The reopen path used the removed archived worktree as the Git
working directory
> - This pull request resolves the live managed checkout and reports a
clear error when it is unavailable
> - The benefit is reliable workspace reopen behavior after archive
cleanup

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related public pull request:
[#6164](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/6164) clears
archive state during un-archive. This pull request fixes the separate
reopen failure that occurs after archive cleanup.

**What happened?**

An archived isolated `git_worktree` workspace under a `managed_checkout`
project failed to reopen after cleanup. The route attempted to run Git
in the removed archived worktree and returned a generic service error.

**Expected behavior**

The reopen path should use the live managed checkout as the Git base
directory and should return a clear error when that directory is
unavailable.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a project with `managed_checkout` source control.
2. Create and archive an isolated `git_worktree` execution workspace.
3. Let archive cleanup remove the worktree.
4. Reopen the workspace for an issue.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`cab0c31dc61310106caef42ca244e9f7b0f19460`

**Deployment mode**

Local dev with the default embedded database.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

Not adapter-specific. This issue affects core workspace handling.

## What Changed

- Resolve the live managed checkout when a managed project reopens an
archived Git worktree.
- Keep local-folder projects on their project workspace directory.
- Validate the Git base directory before `git rev-parse` and return a
scrubbed error.
- Add nine regression tests for workspace reopen behavior.

## Verification

- `server` TypeScript check passes with `tsc --noEmit`.
- `server/src/__tests__/execution-workspace-reopen.test.ts` passes with
9 tests.
- GitHub Actions must pass all required PR checks.

## Risks

Low risk. The change affects only archived isolated workspace reopen
behavior. It reuses the existing managed checkout and Git authentication
helpers. It adds no new credential path, endpoint, or telemetry.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-5 assisted with review and GitHub operations. The
implementation author supplied the code and test results.

DottaandPaperclip b18b0fc39b feat: refine app connections and legacy worktree startup (#11040)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Apps UI manages app discovery and app connections.
> - The managed worktree runtime starts agent work in repository
worktrees.
> - The Apps routes do not match the main discovery flow, and the
connections view lacks a delete action.
> - Legacy managed worktrees can also start before their pending seed
operation runs.
> - This pull request makes app discovery the main Apps route and makes
connection management explicit.
> - It also seeds legacy managed worktrees before runtime startup and
makes the CLI read the repository-local config.
> - The benefit is a clearer Apps workflow and a safer managed-worktree
startup path.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

This improves the Apps navigation, app connection management, managed
git-worktree startup, and CLI worktree selection.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting. The change affects `ui/`, `server/`, `cli/`, and
development documentation.

**Current behavior**

The `/apps` route opens the connections list while discovery uses a
nested route. The connections list has no delete action. Some legacy
managed worktrees can start runtime work before their pending seed
operation runs. The CLI can also read an ambient Paperclip config
instead of the repository-local config.

**Proposed behavior**

The `/apps` route opens Browse, and `/apps/connections` opens the
connection list. Users can delete a connection after confirmation.
Runtime startup seeds legacy managed worktrees when required. The CLI
resolves the current worktree from the repository-local
`.paperclip/config.json` file.

**Reason and benefit**

Users can discover apps from the canonical Apps route and can manage
existing connections from a dedicated route. Legacy worktrees receive
their required repository content before agent runtime starts. CLI
worktree selection stays scoped to the current repository.

**Breaking changes**

The `/apps` and `/apps/browse` route behavior changes. Old Browse links
redirect to `/apps`. The change does not modify an API schema or
database schema.

## What Changed

- Make Browse the canonical `/apps` page and move the connection list to
`/apps/connections`.
- Align Apps navigation, redirects, attention links, empty states, and
connection actions with the new routes.
- Add connection deletion with confirmation and clear failure feedback.
- Seed legacy managed git worktrees before runtime startup when their
seed status is pending.
- Read the CLI worktree selection from the repository-local Paperclip
config.
- Update focused UI, server, CLI, and development documentation
coverage.

## Verification

- Ran 202 focused UI, server, and CLI tests. All tests passed.
- Ran `pnpm -r typecheck`. All projects passed.
- Ran `pnpm build`. All projects built successfully.
- Ran `pnpm test:run`. The server and UI stages passed 7,168 tests. The
CLI stage found one environment-sensitive secrets test because this
workspace injects static AWS credentials. The isolated CLI file passed
all 8 tests after those injected variables were unset.
- Ran `pnpm check:token-gates`. It reports 12 existing color-token
violations in the unchanged `PaperclipOrbit3D.tsx` file from the target
branch. This pull request does not modify that file.
- Ran focused regression coverage for repository-root CLI config
resolution and connection deletion state. All tests and affected package
typechecks passed.
- Collected all 27 tests in the six changed Playwright specifications
successfully.
- GitHub Actions passed every latest-head CI gate, including all three
e2e shards and the aggregate `e2e` and `verify` jobs.
- Greptile reviewed the final commit at 5/5 with zero unresolved
threads.

## Risks

- Existing bookmarks for `/apps/browse` redirect to `/apps`.
- Connection deletion changes visible connection state and requires user
confirmation.
- The legacy seed path runs only for managed git worktrees with pending
seed state. Tests cover the startup condition.
- The rebase preserves the target branch's direct OAuth policy for the
Notion connection flow.

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

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with the GPT-5 model family assisted this change. The agent
used reasoning, repository tools, code execution, and test execution.
The runtime does not expose the exact model snapshot or context-window
size.

DottaandPaperclip 72b509c895 Recognize delivered workspaces and reap terminal worktrees (#10908)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip separates workspace provisioning lifecycle from whether
the work was actually delivered.
> - Git ancestry alone cannot recognize squash merges or deliveries into
a branch other than the workspace base.
> - A merged pull request linked from a terminal issue is stronger
delivery evidence for those cases.
> - The read contract should expose that evidence without changing
persisted workspace schema.
> - Cleanup must remain conservative: terminal descendants, delivered
work, and no active run checkout are all required.
> - Reusing the existing cleanup primitives keeps service shutdown,
lease cleanup, activity logging, and archival behavior consistent.
> - Focused regression coverage locks in both the honest read signal and
the fail-closed reaper guards.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Execution workspace close-readiness payloads and terminal workspace
cleanup.

**Current behavior**

Delivered squash-merged or cross-branch workspaces can remain `active`
and report a permanent “not merged” warning because git ancestry does
not contain their original commits.

**Proposed behavior**

Read payloads distinguish PR-confirmed delivery, ancestry delivery,
unmerged work, and unknown state. Fully terminal delivered workspace
trees are archived only when no active run holds the checkout.

**Reason and benefit**

Operators and automation receive an honest delivery signal, while
shipped worktrees stop looking active forever and genuinely unmerged
work retains its warning.

**Breaking changes**

The workspace payload gains a derived field. Existing fields and
persistence remain unchanged; no database migration is required.

**What happened?**

A delivered workspace can remain `active` and warn that it is not merged
forever after its issue ships through a squash or cross-branch pull
request.

**Expected behavior**

Pull-request delivery should be represented honestly, and a fully
terminal delivered workspace should become cleanup-eligible when no run
holds its checkout.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create an issue workspace with commits ahead of its configured base.
2. Deliver those commits with a squash merge or into a different target
branch.
3. Mark the source issue and descendants done, then read workspace close
readiness.

Before this change, the workspace remains active with a “not merged”
warning indefinitely.

## What Changed

- Added the derived `deliveryState` workspace contract: `merged_via_pr`,
`merged_by_ancestry`, `unmerged`, or `unknown`.
- Extracted a shared GitHub pull-request merge classifier and reused it
for merge confirmations and workspace delivery checks.
- Suppressed false ancestry warnings when a terminal issue has
ground-truth merged-PR evidence.
- Added an idempotent terminality reaper with descendant-terminal,
active-run, and delivered-work guards.
- Restricted PR delivery evidence to the source issue, then required
live merged state plus matching GitHub repository, head branch, and
current workspace HEAD; persisted status, stale PRs, lexical mentions,
inbound references, and descendant PRs cannot authorize cleanup.
- Preserved workspaces with modified or untracked files even when their
committed HEAD was delivered.
- Bounded both long-lived pull-request state caches to 1,000 entries
with oldest-entry eviction.
- Routed eligible workspaces through existing runtime shutdown, lease
cleanup, activity logging, and archival machinery with exclusive Git
index, HEAD, and branch-ref locks plus non-forced removal.
- Added regression coverage for delivery derivation, warning behavior,
reaper guards, scheduler wiring, and squash/cross-branch delivery.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/merged-pr-confirmation-sweep.test.ts

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-busy.test.ts --reporter=verbose` — 15
passed
- `env -u AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -u AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY pnpm test:run` —
server 3,662 passed (4 skipped), UI 3,599 passed, CLI 327 passed, shared
415 passed, and skills catalog 20 passed; the aggregate DB stage ran
both source and built copies of one unrelated embedded-Postgres
migration test and both reached its 5-second timeout
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db exec vitest run
src/status-card-migrations.test.ts --reporter=verbose` — isolated
aggregate-timeout verification passed in 3.99 seconds
- `NODE_ENV=production pnpm build`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`

## Risks

The reaper intentionally fails closed when issue terminality,
pull-request state, git ancestry, or checkout ownership cannot be
proven. GitHub lookups can delay classification and cleanup but cannot
cause an unproven workspace to be archived. Automated terminal archival
holds exclusive Git index, HEAD, and branch-ref locks across validation
and removal, skips configured destructive hooks, and uses non-forced
removal so dirty writes fail closed. Reopening a source issue does not
restore an archived workspace; it emits an audit event so a human or
agent can re-provision explicitly.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5. The runtime did not expose a more specific model ID
or context-window size. Reasoning, tool use, repository editing, test
execution, and GitHub CLI access were enabled.

Devin Foley e0c2448267 feat(server): authenticate server-side git clone and fetch with a company-secret GitHub token (#10720)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Repo-only project workspaces are materialized by a server-side `git
clone`, and isolated `git_worktree` runs refresh their base ref with
server-side `git fetch`
> - Both operations run outside the agent process with no credentials,
so private GitHub repositories can never be cloned or refreshed —
agent-scoped credential env bindings do not reach them
> - The company secret store already has a well-known GitHub token
convention (`GITHUB_TOKEN` / `GH_TOKEN` / `PAPERCLIP_GITHUB_TOKEN`,
consumed by the external-object provider for API reads), but nothing
server-side consults it for git
> - This pull request resolves that token per run and authenticates the
managed clone and every base-ref refresh with it through an ephemeral
credential helper
> - The benefit is that isolated workspaces work on private repositories
with one company secret, while public repositories and self-hosted
ambient git configuration keep working unchanged

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Server workspace materialization (`server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`)
and execution-workspace realization
(`server/src/services/workspace-runtime.ts`).

**Problem or motivation**

A project workspace configured with only a private GitHub `repoUrl`
cannot be used for isolated `git_worktree` runs: the managed `git clone`
runs with a sanitized, credential-less environment, and plain git cannot
consume a bare token env variable without a credential helper. There is
no way to give the server a git credential — storing a `GH_TOKEN`
company secret has no effect on server-side git, and a credential-less
private clone hangs on a terminal prompt until the ten-minute clone
timeout. Base-ref refreshes (`git fetch`) during worktree realization
have the same gap.

**Proposed solution**

A `git-credentials` module resolves a token per run — company secret by
well-known name (`GITHUB_TOKEN`, `GH_TOKEN`, `PAPERCLIP_GITHUB_TOKEN`),
then `GITHUB_TOKEN`/`GH_TOKEN` in the server process environment for
self-hosted deployments, then none — and builds a git invocation that
authenticates via an inline credential helper. The token travels in an
env variable; it never appears in argv, URLs, or on disk. Only
`https://github.com` remotes are authenticated; everything else keeps
ambient behavior. The provider is a single factory seam so a future
brokered credential source can replace it without touching call sites.

**Alternatives considered**

- A GitHub OAuth "connect your account" flow: heavier product surface,
needs app registration and callback custody; out of scope for a server
credential and better served by a dedicated connector later. The
provider seam keeps that path open.
- `gh auth setup-git`: writes helper configuration to disk and requires
a global token env; rejected in favor of per-invocation config with no
persistent state.
- Embedding the token in the clone URL: leaks into argv, error messages,
and `.git/config`; rejected.

## What Changed

- New `server/src/services/git-credentials.ts`:
`createGitRemoteAuthProvider` (memoized per run, one secret resolution
and one audit event), `buildGitAuthInvocation` (helper-reset + inline
helper, `x-access-token` username, `GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0`),
`isGitHubHttpsRemoteUrl` host gating (rejects ssh/GHES/http/other
hosts/userinfo URLs), `describeGitAuthFailure`, and the canonical
`scrubGitCredentialText`. Secret resolutions pass a `system` consumer
access context so they are recorded as secret access events.
- `ensureManagedProjectWorkspace` (now exported) accepts an optional
auth provider; the clone env spreads the token after
`sanitizeRuntimeServiceBaseEnv` (which strips `PAPERCLIP_*`), always
sets `GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0`, distinguishes "credential rejected" from
"no credential configured — add a GITHUB_TOKEN or GH_TOKEN company
secret" in the error, and removes the partially created directory on
clone failure so a timeout-killed clone cannot be adopted as a broken
checkout by the next run.
- `refreshRemoteTrackingBaseRef` (now exported) captures the remote URL
it already looked up, asks the provider for an invocation, and
attributes failed authenticated fetches to the credential in a scrubbed
warning. The optional provider threads through `detectDefaultBranch`,
`resolveAuthoritativeBaseRef`, `inspectExecutionWorkspaceBaseDrift`,
`realizeExecutionWorkspace`, and
`ensurePersistedExecutionWorkspaceAvailable`; heartbeat builds one
provider per run for both the anchor-resolution clone path and workspace
realization/restore.
- `github-external-object-provider.ts` imports the shared secret-name
list; `isGitHubDotCom` is exported from `github-fetch.ts`.
- Docs: "Private repositories and repo-only project workspaces" section
in the execution-workspaces guide, cross-linked from the secrets deploy
doc.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/git-credentials.test.ts` —
resolution chain order and precedence, env fallback, memoization,
audited access context, host-gating matrix, invocation shape (token
absent from argv), scrubber, failure descriptions, and a real-git `git
credential fill` round trip that proves the helper executes and answers
with the env-carried token (no network).
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-managed-clone-credentials.test.ts` — clones
behave byte-identically with no provider or a null-returning provider
(local repos, no network), authenticated-failure errors name the
credential, non-auth failures do not mention credentials, partial clone
directories are removed, pre-existing non-git directories keep the
"Using it as-is" path, and the sanitizer spread order keeps the token
env alive.
- `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts`
— new `refreshRemoteTrackingBaseRef` cases: provider offered the remote
URL and null keeps behavior identical; failed authenticated fetch
warning names the credential; unauthenticated failure warning stays
credential-free.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` is clean.
- Manual (optional, networked): store a `GH_TOKEN` company secret,
configure a repo-only project workspace pointing at a private GitHub
repository, run an isolated-workspace issue — the managed clone succeeds
and the worktree run proceeds.

## Risks

- Every new parameter is optional; with no provider the git invocations
are byte-identical to before. Public repos and ambient credential
helpers keep working whenever no token resolves.
- Precedence change when a token exists: a stored company secret now
wins over ambient helpers for `https://github.com` remotes (the helper
list is reset for that invocation). The rejected-credential error names
the secret so an operator can fix or remove it.
- `GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0` on the managed clone is the one always-on
change: a credential-less private clone now fails fast with a clear
message instead of hanging until the ten-minute timeout (it could only
ever "succeed" interactively on a TTY dev server).
- The token is scoped to the git process env for one invocation; it is
never written to agent env, run context, disk, or logs, and error text
is scrubbed of URL userinfo.
- No migrations, no image changes (git ships in the image).

dcac49a4fd feat(workspaces): defer isolated setup until runtime start (#10653)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Isolated workspaces give each task a safe and reproducible checkout.
> - The existing setup cloned the development database before an agent
needed to run the app.
> - This made worktree creation slower and heavier for tasks that never
start a service.
> - Runtime services already use one server start path for heartbeat,
operator, and startup recovery flows.
> - This pull request moves heavy setup to that start path and keeps
worktree creation lean.
> - The benefit is faster isolated workspace creation with the same
reliable runtime setup when a service starts.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related pull request: #10652 covers the initial deferred
database-seeding slice. This pull request supersedes it with end-to-end
runtime provisioning and safe cleanup.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

This improves isolated worktree creation, runtime service startup, and
isolated instance cleanup.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: CLI worktree setup, server runtime orchestration, shared
workspace contracts, and development scripts.

**Current behavior**

Paperclip seeds an isolated development database during worktree
creation. It can also leave an isolated instance directory after
workspace teardown. This work happens even when no runtime service
starts.

**Proposed behavior**

Paperclip creates the worktree with a lean eager setup. It runs an
idempotent runtime provision command before the first managed service
spawn. Concurrent starts share one provision attempt. Teardown removes
the isolated instance safely.

**Reason and benefit**

Many agent tasks only edit and test code. They do not need a running
Paperclip instance. Deferring the database seed reduces workspace
startup cost while preserving automatic setup for tasks that start the
app.

**Breaking changes**

None. The new runtime provision command is optional. Existing workspace
behavior is unchanged when it is absent.

## What Changed

- Split Paperclip worktree setup into a lean eager script and an
idempotent runtime provision script.
- Added `runtimeProvisionCommand` to project, issue, realized workspace,
and persisted workspace contracts.
- Added a per-workspace provision mutex before local service spawn for
heartbeat, operator, and startup recovery flows.
- Added a persisted `provisioning` service state and the
`workspace_runtime_provision` operation phase.
- Kept provision time outside the service readiness timeout and made
failed attempts visible and retryable.
- Reclaimed isolated instance data during safe workspace teardown.
- Serialized deferred database seeding across processes and bound
teardown to the instance root captured in persisted workspace metadata.
- Added tests for config flow, concurrency, retry, no-op behavior,
readiness timing, scripts, CLI commands, and cleanup.
- Documented the eager and runtime provisioning contracts.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm test:run` (server: 3,201 passed; UI: 3,345 passed; the CLI phase
exposed one environment-sensitive AWS doctor assertion because the agent
runtime injects static AWS credentials)
- `env -u AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -u AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY pnpm exec vitest
run cli/src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts -t 'passes AWS doctor checks when
non-secret provider config is present'`
- Focused runtime tests cover serialized provisioning, retry after
stderr failure, absent-command no-op behavior, operation logging,
persisted state order, and readiness timeout exclusion.
- Focused CLI and cleanup tests cover concurrent seed serialization,
stale-lock fail-closed behavior, persisted instance ownership, and
rewritten sibling pointers.

## Risks

- A faulty runtime provision script blocks service startup. Paperclip
records stderr, marks the service failed, and retries on the next start.
- Concurrent service requests share an in-process provision attempt,
while the seed command uses an atomic filesystem lock across processes.
A stale lock fails closed and requires an operator to verify no seed is
running before removing it.
- Isolated instance cleanup is destructive. The cleanup service
validates ownership and path containment before removal.

173d6d2a71 Reclaim isolated worktree instances during teardown (#10649)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip creates isolated instances for server-managed git
worktrees.
> - The worktree teardown path removes the git worktree but leaves its
isolated instance directory behind.
> - The leaked directory can retain an embedded PostgreSQL process and
database files.
> - Teardown must remove only the collision-resistant instance assigned
to that exact worktree path.
> - This pull request stops the verified embedded PostgreSQL process and
removes the guarded instance directory.
> - The benefit is complete worktree cleanup without risk to another,
default, or live Paperclip instance.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Closing a server-managed git worktree removed the git worktree and
branch, but it left the isolated Paperclip instance directory behind. A
live embedded PostgreSQL process could also keep running against that
directory.

**Expected behavior**

Worktree teardown must stop the isolated embedded PostgreSQL process and
remove only the instance assigned to that exact worktree. It must refuse
mismatched instance IDs and all paths outside
`PAPERCLIP_WORKTREES_DIR/instances/`.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a server-managed git worktree with a repo-local
`.paperclip/.env` file.
2. Start its isolated embedded PostgreSQL instance.
3. Close the execution workspace.
4. Observe that the git worktree is removed but the isolated instance
directory remains.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The bug reproduces on `master` before this change.

**Deployment mode**

Local development with a server-managed git worktree and embedded
PostgreSQL.

## What Changed

- Give server-managed worktrees collision-resistant instance IDs derived
from their resolved absolute paths.
- Capture the repo-local instance pointer before custom teardown
commands can remove it.
- Require the pointer's instance ID to match the exact worktree-derived
ID.
- Resolve and validate the instance path against the canonical managed
worktree instance root.
- Verify and stop the matching embedded PostgreSQL process before
directory removal, including process-exit races.
- Record successful and refused cleanup operations in the workspace
operation log.
- Add focused ownership, process-race, path-safety, and runtime
integration tests.
- Document automatic isolated-instance cleanup for server-managed
worktrees.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/workspace-instance-cleanup.test.ts` — 9 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts -t "records teardown and cleanup
operations when a recorder is provided"` — 1 test passed and 99 tests
skipped.
- `node scripts/__tests__/provision-worktree-self-heal.test.mjs` — 4
tests passed.
- `bash -n scripts/provision-worktree.sh` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server build` — passed.
- `git diff --check` — passed.

## Risks

The main risk is removal of the wrong instance directory. Provisioning
assigns a path-derived ID with a SHA-256 suffix, and cleanup requires
that exact ID in addition to a safe instance identifier, an absolute
configured home, a strict child path, canonical path checks, and a
second canonical path check immediately before removal. It refuses
legacy or mismatched IDs, symlink escapes, and all paths outside the
managed worktree instance root. Cleanup failures become visible warnings
and do not delete an unverified path.

snapshot or context-window size. The agent used reasoning, repository
tools, GitHub tools, and code execution.

DottaandPaperclip a388ea1cac Render workspace-ready comments as compact system notices (#10636)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server posts a workspace-ready comment after it prepares an
execution workspace or runtime service.
> - The full Markdown card uses too much space in the task thread.
> - The existing system-notice presentation can show the same comment as
a compact row.
> - The server must keep the original body for API clients and expanded
details.
> - This pull request adds structured presentation data at both
workspace-ready call sites.
> - The benefit is a quieter thread with no data loss and no migration.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The server posts the workspace-ready task comment after workspace
provisioning and adapter-managed runtime startup.

**Current behavior**

The task thread shows a full Markdown comment with strategy, branch,
working directory, services, and warnings. Long branch names can make
this card dominate the thread.

**Proposed behavior**

Show the comment as a compact system-notice row. Expand the row in place
to show the original Markdown body and structured workspace, service,
and warning details. Use a warning tone and open the details by default
when warnings exist.

**Reason and benefit**

The same workspace data is available in the task properties. The compact
row keeps the thread easy to scan while it preserves the full comment
for API consumers and expanded inspection.

**Breaking changes**

None. The comment body stays unchanged. Existing comments without
presentation data keep their current rendering.

## What Changed

- Added workspace-ready presentation and metadata builders.
- Added structured workspace, service, reuse, and warning details.
- Wired both workspace-ready comment paths to send presentation and
metadata options.
- Added focused unit and heartbeat-level tests.

Collapsed notice:

![Collapsed Workspace Ready compact
notice](https://pages.paperclip.ing/pap-16051-workspace-ready-notice-20260801/collapsed.png)

Expanded notice:

![Expanded Workspace Ready compact
notice](https://pages.paperclip.ing/pap-16051-workspace-ready-notice-20260801/expanded.png)

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/workspace-runtime-ready-comment.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-ready-comment.test.ts` — 8
tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- `pnpm test:run` — 300 server files and 405 UI files passed. One
unrelated CLI AWS doctor test detected static credentials from the
runner environment. The same test passed with `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and
`AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` removed.
- Built the existing system-notice Storybook story and captured both
compact and expanded states.
- GitHub CI — all latest-head gates passed. One signoff-policy e2e shard
hit a transient checkout-state race and passed on its single rerun.

## Risks

Low risk. This change only adds optional comment presentation data in
two server paths. The body, database schema, API contract, and old
comments remain unchanged. Incorrect metadata would affect only expanded
structured details; focused tests cover the shape and both warning
states.

32c1a8576c fix(server): self-heal execution workspaces whose recorded branch no longer exists (#10578)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Each agent task gets an execution workspace (a git worktree) with a
recorded branch name; workspace validation compares that record to the
worktree before every run
> - Agents sometimes rename their task branch (for example to a `feat/*`
PR branch), so the recorded branch never existed or was deleted
> - Validation then fails every run with "expected branch does not
exist" — a deterministic `workspace_validation_failed` loop with no
self-heal path
> - A recorded branch with no resolvable commit has nothing to lose, so
adopting a clean, registered checked-out branch is trivially
forward-only
> - This pull request routes that exact case through the existing
audited forward-reconciliation path, in both the runtime and the manual
board reconcile endpoint
> - The benefit is that these stranded workspaces heal themselves while
dirty worktrees, detached HEADs, unregistered paths, and ambiguous git
states all stay fail-closed

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists; the underlying bug is described here per
`bug_report.yml`. Related PR: #10574 self-heals the sibling provisioning
failure loop uncovered by the same incident diagnosis.

**What happened?**
An execution workspace whose recorded branch was renamed away failed
every subsequent run with `workspace_validation_failed` ("expected
branch does not exist"). The safe-repair matrix refused the case, so the
task stayed blocked until a human intervened.

**Expected behavior**
When the recorded branch is confirmed absent and the worktree is clean
and registered with its checked-out branch matching HEAD, Paperclip
adopts the checked-out branch through the audited forward-reconciliation
path and the next run proceeds.

**Steps to reproduce**
In an isolated workspace, rename the task branch (`git branch -m
<recorded> feat/something`) or delete the recorded branch, leave the
worktree clean, then start a new run on the task. Validation fails on
every retry.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master as of the branch point of this PR.

**Deployment mode**
Local trusted deployment with git-worktree isolated workspaces.

## What Changed

- `ensureGitWorktreeBranchCoherent` (workspace runtime): a missing
recorded branch with a clean worktree, an existing checked-out branch,
and a registered branch matching HEAD now goes through audited forward
reconciliation instead of failing closed. Gated behind
`enableWorkspaceBranchReconcileForward`.
- `reconcileExecutionWorkspaceBranch` mode `forward` (service): accepts
the same case so the board reconcile endpoint can repair it manually.
- The service inspection now classifies each branch ref as `resolved` /
`missing` / `error` (`git rev-parse --verify --quiet`, distinguishing an
absent ref from git failing to inspect the repo). Adoption requires a
confirmed-missing recorded ref **and** a resolved target ref, so a git
error can never bypass ancestry validation and a nonexistent branch name
is never persisted.
- Removed the test that asserted this case fails closed; it is
superseded by tests that assert the new behavior.
- New tests: successful adoption, dirty-worktree refusal, refusal when
the checked-out branch ref does not resolve either, and disabled-flag
behavior.

## Verification

- `server`: `npx vitest run
src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts -t "reconcil"` — 11
passed.
- `server`: `npx vitest run src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts -t
"adopt"` — 7 passed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit` in `server/` is clean.
- Manually validated the underlying repair on a live stranded workspace
before automating it: creating the recorded branch at the clean HEAD
ended the validation-failure loop without touching the agent's PR
branch.

## Risks

- The change relaxes a fail-closed gate, so the main risk is
over-adoption. Mitigations: the exception requires flag-on, clean
worktree, registered worktree path, registered branch matching HEAD, a
confirmed-missing (not merely unreadable) recorded ref, and a resolvable
target ref; everything else still fails closed. Every adoption goes
through the audited reconcile path with an issue comment trail.
- No migrations, no API surface changes (the reconcile route returns the
same hand-picked fields).

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 15ce70dc18 feat(server): thread plural referenced-project workspaces through run prep (#10448)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip coordinates work for autonomous companies.
> - A run needs a workspace view before execution starts.
> - That view now needs to cover one anchor project and more referenced
projects.
> - Those extra workspaces must stay separate and must not change the
anchor path when the feature stays off.
> - This PR threads plural workspace data through run prep behind a
default-off kill switch.
> - It also keeps extra project workspaces isolated and makes the
realization contract round-trip the new shape.
> - The benefit is safer run prep for referenced projects without
changing the current default path.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

This PR does not link a public GitHub issue.
It follows the internal run-prep task for plural referenced-project
workspaces.

Problem:
- Run prep resolves the anchor project today, but it does not yet carry
each referenced project into the run workspace view.
- That gap blocks runs that need a second repo or sibling project during
preparation.

Proposed solution:
- Thread a plural workspace result through run prep.
- Keep the anchor path unchanged when the kill switch is off.
- Resolve each referenced project into its own managed checkout
directory when the flag is on.

Alternatives considered:
- Keep one shared workspace and layer the extra repos into it. Rejected
because it would blur isolation and make failures harder to bound.
- Upload the extra workspaces immediately. Rejected because this PR only
prepares the data path.

Roadmap alignment:
- This change sits in the workspace and sandbox path.
- It matches the roadmap work on workspace strategy and cloud or sandbox
agents.

## What Changed

- Added `additionalWorkspaces[]` to the run workspace result.
- Split workspace resolution into an anchor path and an optional
referenced-project path behind `PAPERCLIP_MULTI_PROJECT_WORKSPACE_SYNC`.
- Kept per-project failure isolation so one bad clone does not stop the
run.
- Keyed managed workspace directories by `projectId` so sibling
workspaces stay separate.
- Added `additionalSources[]` to the workspace realization request and
kept read and write paths backward compatible.
- Added tests for the anchor-only path, the new workspace shape, and the
per-project directory rule.

## Verification

## Risks

Low risk. The new path stays behind a default-off kill switch, so the
anchor flow does not change when the flag is off.
The main risk is a bad referenced project clone. That case now drops
only the affected project and keeps the run alive.
The shared type change also needs every consumer to use the new array
field where extra workspaces matter.

DottaandPaperclip 931eec3fbf feat(mcp) [split 4/8]: wire gateway runtime and Smoke Lab (#9559)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Governed MCP access spans contracts, runtime enforcement, adapters,
UI surfaces, and operator verification
> - The parity reference PR #9534 is too large for effective automated
or human review
> - The feature therefore needs a linear stack whose individual diffs
stay below the 100-file review limit
> - This pull request is split 4/8 and focuses on gateway runtime, Smoke
Lab, plugins, and server wiring
> - The benefit is a standalone, testable review boundary while
preserving byte-for-byte parity at the top of the stack

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

- Related parity reference: #9534
- Problem: The policy core needs runtime execution, endpoint guards,
route registration, heartbeat integration, and adapter MCP injection to
become operational.
- Proposed solution: Adds the remaining server routes/wiring/consumers,
runtime tests, adapter-utils MCP contracts, and Claude/Codex injection
implementations required by the server layer.
- Alternatives considered: keeping #9534 as one 403-file review, or
rewriting the feature to manufacture seams; both were rejected in favor
of path extraction plus compile-driven boundary moves.
- Roadmap alignment: this advances the existing governed MCP/tool-access
work already represented by #9534; it does not introduce a separate
roadmap initiative.
- Stack position: base branch is `pap10341-split/03-server-tool-access`.
- Merge policy: merge bottom-up, in order, only after the complete
eight-PR stack has been reviewed and the top-of-stack parity gate
remains empty.
- Requested review: SecurityEngineer for gateway, endpoint guard, token
issuance, and runtime wiring; Greptile on every PR.

## What Changed

- Adds the remaining server routes/wiring/consumers, runtime tests,
adapter-utils MCP contracts, and Claude/Codex injection implementations
required by the server layer.
- Keeps this PR below 100 changed files and independently typecheckable.
- Preserves the final tree from #9534 when combined with the other seven
stack levels.

## Verification

- `pnpm typecheck`
- Changed server test set — 26 files, 382 tests passed
- Affected server adapter tests — 38 tests passed after concrete adapter
boundary move
- Adapter-utils and Codex focused tests — 76 tests passed

## Risks

- Remote endpoint validation, token handling, and runtime supervision
are security-sensitive and can fail closed or deny legitimate access if
misconfigured.
- Stack risk: merging out of order can expose incomplete layers;
mitigate by following the documented bottom-up merge policy.
- Parity risk: later edits to an intermediate branch can drift from
#9534; mitigate by re-running the empty top-of-stack diff before merge.

DottaandPaperclip e4e12bfb89 fix(workspaces): persist readiness state and validate ports (#9408)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Execution workspaces can run managed services that must report
reliable lifecycle and readiness state
> - Service startup previously waited for readiness before committing
the starting row, making concurrent control actions see stale state
> - Fixed service ports also needed clearer configuration and ownership
diagnostics to avoid cross-workspace collisions
> - This pull request persists startup state before readiness, validates
port ownership, and exposes configurable service ports in the workspace
UI
> - The benefit is dependable service controls and actionable
diagnostics when workspace runtimes start slowly or compete for ports

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

### What happened?

Slow-starting workspace services could remain invisible to concurrent
stop/restart controls until readiness completed, and fixed-port
conflicts lacked enough ownership context for safe repair.

### Expected behavior

A starting service is persisted immediately, control operations can
observe it, configured ports are editable, and conflicts identify the
owning process/workspace.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Configure a workspace service that delays binding its HTTP port.
2. Start the service and immediately request another control action.
3. Observe stale persisted state before this change.
4. Configure two workspaces for the same fixed port and observe limited
conflict diagnostics.

### Paperclip version or commit

`origin/master` at `02e2dd271`

### Deployment mode

Local dev; built from source; not adapter-specific; database-backed
workspace runtime state.

## What Changed

- Commit the `starting` runtime-service row before waiting for readiness
and transition it after the probe completes.
- Add port-owner inspection and cross-workspace conflict details to
local service supervision.
- Preserve configurable runtime service ports through workspace
configuration updates.
- Surface service-port editing and validation in the execution workspace
details UI.
- Add server and UI regression coverage for slow readiness, concurrent
controls, port persistence, and conflict diagnostics.

## Verification

- `vitest --project @paperclipai/server
src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts
src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts` — 118 tests passed.
- `vitest --project @paperclipai/ui
src/pages/ExecutionWorkspaceDetail.service-ports.test.ts` — 4 tests
passed.
- `node scripts/check-token-gates.mjs` — all token gates clean.

## Risks

- Moderate risk: changes touch workspace service lifecycle persistence
and local process/port inspection.
- No schema migration is required; tests exercise slow readiness,
concurrent control, persisted ports, and cross-workspace conflicts.

f3ca4d24bc fix: repair dirty/foreign-branch execution worktrees (#9297)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Execution workspaces are the bridge between Paperclip's control
plane and a local agent's checked-out repository state.
> - When a workspace is restored after a failed or interrupted run, the
recorded branch can disagree with the branch currently checked out on
disk.
> - A clean branch mismatch can be reconciled safely, but a dirty
mismatch needs a lossless path that does not discard uncommitted agent
work.
> - This pull request adds a quarantine-and-restore path that saves
dirty work to a rescue branch, restores the recorded branch, and exposes
the repair from the board UI and run page.
> - The benefit is that operators can recover wedged execution
workspaces without losing work or moving another live branch
unexpectedly.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this workspace-recovery failure, so
this PR includes the bug report inline.

**What happened**

A git worktree-backed execution workspace could become wedged when
Paperclip expected one branch but found a different checked-out branch
with dirty tracked or untracked files. The existing safe repair path
refused the restore, leaving the source task blocked with no lossless
one-click recovery path.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip should preserve dirty work before restoring the recorded
workspace branch. If another live workspace claims the checked-out
branch, or an attached runtime service is active, the repair should
refuse with clear operator-facing evidence instead of risking work loss
or file contention.

**Steps to reproduce**

Create a git worktree execution workspace whose persisted branch name
differs from the checked-out branch, add dirty tracked or untracked
files in that worktree, then trigger workspace validation or use the
branch reconcile endpoint. Before this change, the dirty mismatch
remained blocked because Paperclip had no quarantine restore mode.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on the pre-fix workspace-recovery implementation. Verified on
this PR head after rebasing onto current `master`.

**Deployment mode**

Local trusted development/worktree deployments using git worktree
execution workspaces and optional workspace runtime services.

## What Changed

- Added dirty-worktree quarantine repair that creates a rescue branch,
commits dirty tracked and untracked files there, restores the recorded
branch, writes audit comments/activity, and preserves the live foreign
branch ref.
- Added `quarantine_restore` branch reconcile API support,
recovery-action resolution, source-task wake behavior, execution-review
preservation, claimant refusal, runtime-service refusal, and coverage
for the non-transactional git ordering.
- Added board UI controls for the repair action in the recovery card
plus a compact failed-run workspace recovery surface that uses the same
reconcile handlers.
- Hardened Greptile follow-up cases by best-effort restoring the
recorded branch after a mid-sequence rescue commit failure and by
refusing quarantine restore while attached runtime services are active.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts -t
"quarantine_restore"`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts
-t "workspace dirty quarantine branch repair"`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-finalize-branch.test.ts -t
"repairs clean unrecorded branch drift|adopts unrecorded forward branch
drift"`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime-routes-authz.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- Earlier PR verification covered the route, service, heartbeat, UI
component, and run-page recovery surfaces; Cutter posted public preview
screenshots for the repair popover and run-page panel at
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/9297#issuecomment-4926934211.
- GitHub PR checks are green on
`dcac76b05f4cf6e1ee16544c2831d83c7857e475`.
- Greptile is 5/5 with zero annotations and no unresolved review threads
on `dcac76b05f4cf6e1ee16544c2831d83c7857e475`.

## Risks

- Moderate risk because the change intentionally runs git commands
against local worktrees; the implementation refuses dirty repair when
another claimant or active runtime service is detected and records
rescue refs for auditability.
- Compatibility / release-note callout for self-hosted operators:
existing instances that left `enableWorkspaceBranchReconcileForward`
unset now get automatic forward branch reconciliation during heartbeat
workspace recovery. Operators who want the previous advisory-only
behavior can set `experimental.enableWorkspaceBranchReconcileForward` to
`false`; dirty quarantine repair can likewise be disabled with
`experimental.enableWorkspaceDirtyQuarantineRepair: false`.
- If the git rescue succeeds but a later database write fails, the
worktree may already be restored while the recovery action remains open;
this ordering is documented in code because git side effects cannot
participate in the database transaction.
- UI risk is limited to the workspace recovery surfaces and covered by
component tests plus the existing Cutter visual preview.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex coding agent based on GPT-5, with repository tool use,
shell execution, and local test execution. Earlier preserved commits on
this branch also show Claude Code / Claude Opus 4.8 assistance in their

DottaandPaperclip 7cf0d3ebb0 Require health readiness for Paperclip dev services (#9269)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents often run against managed workspace runtime services,
including reusable Paperclip dev servers
> - A running process and an open root URL are not enough to prove the
Paperclip API is actually ready
> - If the API health endpoint is still failing, agents can reuse a
service that looks alive but cannot safely serve the board or API
clients
> - This pull request makes Paperclip dev runtime readiness probe the
resolved `/api/health` endpoint
> - The benefit is that runtime service reuse waits for the same health
signal operators and agents depend on

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No matching public GitHub issue was found. Public duplicate search found
no open PR for "workspace runtime health readiness".

Bug report:

### What happened?

A managed Paperclip dev runtime service could satisfy HTTP readiness at
the exposed base URL even when the Paperclip health endpoint was
returning an unhealthy status.

### Expected behavior

Paperclip dev runtime services should not be considered ready until
their health endpoint succeeds.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Start a workspace runtime service named `paperclip-dev` whose base
URL responds successfully.
2. Make that same service return HTTP 503 from `/api/health`.
3. Ask Paperclip to ensure the runtime service for a run.
4. Observe that the service can be reused even though the API health
endpoint is not ready.

### Paperclip version or commit

Current `origin/master` before this PR.

### Deployment mode

Local workspace runtime service management.

## What Changed

- Resolve Paperclip dev runtime readiness checks to the service health
URL before polling.
- Surface readiness errors with the actual health URL that failed.
- Add a regression test that fails when `/api/health` returns HTTP 503
even if the service process is running.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts`
— 81 tests passed.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed.

## Risks

- Low to medium risk. This tightens readiness for Paperclip dev runtime
services, so a service that previously looked ready while unhealthy will
now fail fast instead of being reused.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex coding agent based on GPT-5, tool-enabled shell workflow.
Exact hosted model variant and context window were not exposed by the

DottaandPaperclip 555391fed7 fix: run restart recovery, workspace self-heal, quota-aware retries, failed-run metrics (#9183)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents run in heartbeat runs orchestrated by the server; run
lifecycle, retry scheduling, and the dashboard's run-activity metrics
are the subsystems involved
> - A spike in "failed" tasks traced to three causes: server restarts
killing in-flight runs and mislabeling them as failures, deterministic
workspace-validation loops when a worktree's branch diverged, and
provider quota/usage-limit errors being classified as generic transient
failures (putting agents into error state and polluting metrics)
> - Killed-then-recovered runs and quota waits are not product failures,
so both the runtime behavior and the reporting needed to distinguish
them
> - This pull request drains runs gracefully on shutdown with idempotent
restart retries, self-heals workspace branch mismatches, adds a
quota-aware failure class with reset-time retry, separates recovered
restart kills from true failures on the dashboard, and documents restart
hygiene for operators
> - The benefit is fewer spurious failures, automatic recovery instead
of manual repair, and dashboard metrics that reflect real failure rates

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists; describing the bug inline per the
bug-report template:

**What happened?**

In-flight heartbeat runs are marked `failed` when the server restarts,
even though a retry later succeeds. Worktrees whose checked-out branch
diverges from the issue branch fail workspace validation on every
subsequent run with no recovery path. Provider quota/usage-limit
responses are treated as generic transient upstream errors, putting
agents into an error state and retrying before the quota window resets.
The dashboard counts all of these as true failures, inflating failure
metrics.

**Expected behavior**

Graceful shutdown should interrupt (not fail) running runs and chain
exactly one recovery retry. Workspace validation should repair
recoverable branch mismatches automatically. Quota errors should get
their own error class with the retry scheduled at the provider reset
time and the agent left idle. The dashboard should report recovered
restart kills separately from true failures.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a heartbeat run, then restart the server (SIGTERM) while it is
in flight — the run lands as `failed` with a process-loss error code
even when its retry succeeds
2. Check out an issue whose worktree branch has diverged (e.g. after a
force-moved branch) — every subsequent run fails
`workspace_validation_failed` deterministically
3. Drive an agent into a provider usage-limit window — the run fails as
a generic transient upstream error and the agent enters an error state
instead of idling until the reset time

**Paperclip version or commit**

master (base c07e650cd)

**Deployment mode**

Self-hosted dev plane (Linux, node server + embedded Postgres)

## What Changed

- Graceful shutdown (SIGTERM hook) now marks in-flight runs
`interrupted` instead of `failed` and enqueues an idempotent
process-loss retry (pre-insert existence check on `retryOfRunId`
prevents duplicates; bursts chain exactly one retry per interrupted run)
- Run-liveness classification routes `interrupted` to `needs_followup`
rather than `failed`
- Workspace validation self-heals branch mismatch / missing-branch
states instead of failing deterministically on every run
- New `provider_quota` error class: session/usage-limit responses
schedule the retry at the provider reset time and leave the agent idle
(not errored); fixes a case where a quota-terminated run with subtype
`success` was misclassified as failed; HTTP 529 remains transient
- Dashboard run-activity query separates recovered restart kills from
true failures via a recursive CTE over `retry_of_run_id` (ancestors of a
succeeded retry count as recovered), adds a per-day failed-by-error-code
breakdown, and binds the window start as a timestamptz string
- Activity charts UI: amber "Recovered" segment with legend and per-day
error-code tooltip; success-rate chart counts recovered runs as
successes
- New ops runbook: `docs/deploy/dev-plane-restart-hygiene.md`

## Verification

- Greptile follow-up fixes on `992705edd`: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-finalize-branch.test.ts` (209
tests); `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`; `git diff
--check`
- Post-rebase CI fixes: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts`; `pnpm exec
vitest run server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-finalize-branch.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts` (227 tests);
`pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `npm test` server suites covering the changes:
`heartbeat-process-recovery`, `heartbeat-stop-metadata`,
`heartbeat-retry-scheduling` (95 tests), quota parse +
execute/retry-scheduling suites (100 tests), workspace self-heal suites
(200 tests), dashboard run-activity tests (3 tests) — all green,
typecheck exit 0
- Dashboard CTE cross-checked against a real development database: two
restart-burst days moved from 17 to 8 and 19 to 6 true failures once
recovered kills were separated, matching manual retry-chain inspection
- Screenshot verification of the real ActivityCharts component
(recovered segment + tooltip) during QA

## Risks

- Behavioral shift: runs killed by a restart no longer surface as
`failed`; anyone consuming raw run statuses will see `interrupted` (new
status value) — dashboards/queries in this repo were updated accordingly
- Retry chaining on repeated restarts is bounded (one chained retry per
interruption) but a pathological restart loop still delays work rather
than failing it; the runbook covers operator hygiene for that case
- Dashboard query adds a recursive CTE; cost is bounded by the
day-window row count and was verified against production-sized data
- No schema migrations; low migration risk

## Model Used

- Claude (Anthropic) — claude-fable-5 via Claude Code / Paperclip agent
harness, extended thinking with tool use; implementation commits also
produced with Codex CLI (GPT-5 class) agents under the same harness

Nicky LeachandPaperclip bb87047fe6 Add auto-forward execution workspace branch reconciliation (#9172)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages execution workspaces for AI agent runs, each
associated with a git branch so the agent always works in a known code
state.
> - Workspace runtime reconciles an agent's checkout branch against the
workspace's recorded branch when a heartbeat resumes; without
forward-ancestry detection, any divergence fails closed and blocks the
run.
> - When the workspace branch has moved forward (e.g. after a feature
merge), the recorded branch is an ancestor of the current HEAD — a safe,
forward-only case that the previous implementation refused even though
it carries no safety risk.
> - The gap means legitimate forward-advancing deployments require
manual operator intervention to unblock agents every time, creating
operational friction and interrupting automated workflows.
> - This pull request adds a flag-gated reconcile-forward path that
detects when the current branch is a strict forward descendant of the
workspace branch and auto-reconciles, while preserving fail-closed
behavior for all non-forward or flag-off cases.
> - It also threads the active execution workspace id through restore
and finalize call sites so the reconcile verdict can be persisted
durably across heartbeats.
> - The benefit is that agents resume automatically from
forward-advancing workspace branches without operator intervention,
while adversarial and backward branch changes continue to fail closed.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

This PR adds an auto-forward reconcile path for execution workspace
branch tracking. When a workspace's recorded branch is a strict ancestor
of the current HEAD (a forward-only advancement), the runtime now
auto-reconciles rather than hard-blocking. The feature is gated behind
an explicit runtime flag, defaults to off, and falls back to fail-closed
behavior for all non-forward or flag-off cases.

The prior implementation treated all branch divergences identically: any
mismatch between the recorded workspace branch and the current HEAD
failed closed. This prevented agents from resuming after routine forward
deployments (e.g. after a feature branch merges into the workspace
branch), requiring manual operator action to unblock every affected run.

## What Changed

- Added `reconcileForward` flag-gated path in workspace runtime
reconciliation logic that allows auto-reconciliation when the workspace
branch is a strict ancestor of the current HEAD.
- Threaded active execution workspace id through `restore` and
`finalize` call sites so reconcile verdicts are persisted durably.
- Added `plainLanguageReason` and `ancestryVerdict` evidence fields to
the reconciliation result structure for operator visibility.
- Stabilized a branch containment test that exposed a late run-linked
activity FK cleanup race during the focused Vitest rerun.
- All new paths remain fail-closed when the flag is off or when the
branch relationship is not strictly forward.

## Verification

```bash
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
pnpm exec vitest run \
  server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts \
  server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts \
  server/src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts
git diff --check origin/master..HEAD
```

All 3 test files / 98 tests pass. Typecheck passes for both shared and
server packages.

> **Note:** This is a stacked PR on top of PR #9170 (Add execution
workspace branch reconciliation route). The diff shown targets that
branch; the combined change builds on the reconciliation route
infrastructure it provides.

## Risks

- **Flag-off default:** The reconcile-forward path is off by default. No
behavior change for existing workspaces unless the flag is explicitly
enabled by an operator.
- **Ancestry check correctness:** The forward-only guard uses git
ancestry verification; a branch that is not a strict ancestor of HEAD
remains fail-closed. Adversarial or concurrent branch resets are not
auto-reconciled.
- **FK cleanup race (stabilized):** A late run-linked activity FK
cleanup race in the containment test was exposed during the Vitest
rerun. The stabilization commit addresses the non-deterministic ordering
without changing production behavior.
- **Stacking dependency:** This PR must not be merged before PR #9170
merges, as it is built on top of the reconciliation route
infrastructure.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip f17202b571 Add execution workspace branch reconciliation route (#9170)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is an open-source app that lets teams run AI agents for
work tasks; each agent session uses an execution workspace — a git
checkout — to track the agent's active code state.
> - Every execution workspace has an expected target branch
(`PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACE_BRANCH`). The workspace git HEAD should always
point to that branch so agents commit in the right place.
> - When workspace git HEAD diverges from the expected branch — for
example after a harness branch-name fix or an accidental `checkout -b`
during a CI-retrigger — the discrepancy must be corrected before agents
can continue safely.
> - Operators (board users) need a controlled, audited path to reconcile
a workspace's live branch back to the expected target, with an override
escape-hatch for cases where the normal forward path is blocked.
> - This pull request adds a board-only `POST
/api/execution-workspaces/:id/reconcile-branch` service operation and
route that validates safety preconditions, resolves matching
recovery-action fingerprints, posts source-issue audit comments, and
records the reconciliation outcome.
> - The benefit is that operators can correct branch divergence through
the API with a full audit trail, instead of via raw database edits.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this change. Context below follows the
feature-request template format.

**Subsystem affected**

server/ — REST API & orchestration services; packages/shared — request
validation.

**Problem or motivation**

Execution workspaces have an expected branch record that must match the
checked-out worktree branch. When the live git branch and stored branch
record drift apart, operators currently lack a first-class, audited API
to reconcile the record. The fallback is manual database repair or
workspace replacement, both of which are risky and hard to audit.

**Proposed solution**

Add a board-only execution workspace branch reconciliation operation.
`forward` mode re-inspects the server-side git state and only updates
the branch record when the stored branch is an ancestor of the
checked-out branch. `override` mode is a break-glass path that requires
board access and an operator reason. Both modes require a clean, idle
workspace, write audit details, post a source-issue audit comment, and
resolve the matching workspace-validation recovery action.

**Alternatives considered**

Manual database edit (no durable audit trail and easy to mistype),
recreating the workspace (heavier operational disruption), or trusting
client-supplied ancestry evidence (unsafe because the server must verify
the git state itself).

**Roadmap alignment**

This is incremental hardening for execution-workspace recovery and
operator controls. It does not duplicate a public roadmap item.

**Additional context**

The endpoint is intended for operator recovery, not normal agent control
flow, so the generated OpenAPI metadata and runtime route both classify
it as board-only.
## What Changed

- Added `reconcileExecutionWorkspaceBranchSchema` discriminated-union
validator (`forward` with optional reason, `override` requiring a
non-empty reason string) to
`packages/shared/src/validators/execution-workspace.ts`
- Exported `ReconcileExecutionWorkspaceBranch` type and the new schema
from the shared package index
- Added board-only reconcile-branch service operation in the execution
workspaces service: safety checks, recovery-action fingerprint
resolution, source-issue audit comment, and outcome recording
- Added clean-worktree and stopped-runtime-service preconditions before
branch-record mutation.
- Marked the reconcile route as board-only in OpenAPI generated auth
metadata.
- Added `POST /api/execution-workspaces/:id/reconcile-branch` route
wired to the new service operation with board-permission gate
- Extended `execution-workspaces-routes.test.ts` and
`execution-workspaces-service.test.ts` to cover: safety-check rejection,
override-reason validation, audit-comment posting, and recovery-action
fingerprint resolution (2 files / 19 tests)

## Verification

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-routes.test.ts server/src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts server/src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts
```

## Risks

- **Board-only gate:** the operation is gated behind the board
permission; no agent can trigger it without operator authorization.
- **Override requires reason:** the `override` mode requires a non-empty
reason string so every bypass is audited.
- **Idempotent recovery-action resolution:** re-running with the same
fingerprint is safe; duplicate resolution is a no-op.
- **No execution-state mutation:** the route records a reconciliation
intent and updates the branch record; it does not restart the workspace
or modify running agent state.
- Overall risk: **low**.

5163208c3c Add workspace branch ancestry diagnostics (#9117)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents run in git worktrees tied to a workspace branch; when the
actual branch diverges from the expected one (e.g. a parent feature
branch was renamed), Paperclip currently has no structured field to
report *why* the branch is incoherent or whether it can be
auto-reconciled
> - The workspace-incoherence fingerprint already captures SHA
mismatches, but there is no evidence field distinguishing "actual branch
is a descendant of expected" (safe to fast-forward) from "branches have
diverged" (needs human review) or "SHAs are unavailable" (unknown)
> - Operators and future recovery flows need a typed verdict to make
decisions without re-running git commands themselves
> - This pull request adds `ancestryVerdict` and `plainLanguageReason`
evidence fields computed via `git merge-base --is-ancestor`, and
scaffolds the off-by-default `enableWorkspaceBranchReconcileForward`
instance setting with no runtime behavior yet
> - The benefit is that future recovery logic can branch on a typed
verdict rather than parsing prose, while the fingerprint v1 payload
stays stable

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue pre-exists for this diagnostic addition.

**Problem or motivation**

When Paperclip detects that an agent's actual workspace branch differs
from the recorded expected branch, the current fingerprint carries only
raw SHAs. There is no typed field indicating whether the actual branch
is a descendant of the expected one (safe reconcile path) vs. a true
divergence (requires human intervention) vs. an indeterminate state
(missing SHAs or git errors). Downstream recovery logic cannot branch
safely without re-running git.

**Proposed solution**

Add `ancestryVerdict` and `plainLanguageReason` to the workspace
incoherence evidence type; compute via `git merge-base --is-ancestor`;
scaffold a feature-flag for future forward-reconcile behavior
(`enableWorkspaceBranchReconcileForward`, off by default, not yet read
by any runtime path).

**Alternatives considered**

Encoding the verdict in the existing fingerprint string was rejected
because the fingerprint is a stable identity hash, not a mutable
evidence bag. Changing it would break monitors keyed on the string.

**Roadmap alignment**

Supports future workspace auto-reconcile work; ROADMAP.md has no
conflicting entry for this diagnostic layer.

## What Changed

- `packages/shared/src/types/heartbeat.ts` adds `ancestryVerdict` and
`plainLanguageReason` fields to `WorkspaceIncoherenceEvidence`
- `packages/shared/src/types/instance.ts` adds
`enableWorkspaceBranchReconcileForward` boolean (off by default)
- `packages/shared/src/validators/instance.ts` exports the new flag from
the settings validator
- `server/src/services/workspace-runtime.ts` computes `ancestryVerdict`
via `git merge-base --is-ancestor`; falls back to `unknown` on missing
SHAs or command errors; excludes verdict fields from fingerprint v1
computation
- `server/src/services/instance-settings.ts` wires the new setting
through to the settings service
- Tests updated in `workspace-runtime.test.ts`,
`instance-settings-service.test.ts`, `instance-settings-routes.test.ts`,
and `instance.test.ts` (104 tests total)

## Verification

```bash
pnpm exec vitest run \
  server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts \
  server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts \
  server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts \
  packages/shared/src/validators/instance.test.ts
# 104 tests pass

pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
# both exit 0
```

Manual: trigger a workspace incoherence event and confirm the evidence
object carries `ancestryVerdict` and `plainLanguageReason`; confirm the
fingerprint string stays `workspace_incoherence:v1:sha256:...`.

## Risks

**Low risk.** Purely additive. Fingerprint v1 payload is unchanged. The
new flag has no runtime effect in this PR. `git merge-base
--is-ancestor` exits non-zero for both "not an ancestor" and "command
error"; both are handled and collapsed to typed values with a prose
reason.

## Model Used

Provider: Anthropic, model: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (`claude-sonnet-4-6`),
200k context, tool use enabled.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 936687ca55 fix(workspace): restore clean branch drift on finalize (#8914)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent runs can execute inside reusable, runtime-created git worktree
execution workspaces.
> - Those managed worktrees record the expected branch so later
dispatches do not accidentally run an agent in the wrong checkout.
> - Successful run finalization already checked branch coherence, but it
treated every unrecorded branch switch as fatal.
> - A common publishing flow can briefly switch a clean worktree to a
PR/publish branch that points at the same commit as the recorded issue
branch, leaving no divergent work to protect.
> - This pull request keeps the strict finalization guard for unsafe
drift, but lets finalization restore the recorded branch when
same-commit repair is provably safe.
> - The benefit is fewer false failed runs after harmless branch
switches while preserving hard failures for divergent or dirty
worktrees.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists for this exact finalization failure. Related
public worktree-recovery context: #3087 and #3056, but those address
different worktree realization/reuse recovery paths rather than
successful-run finalization branch repair.

Bug report details:

**What happened?**

When an adapter run succeeded after switching a managed git worktree
from its recorded issue branch to a publish/PR branch, finalization
failed with a managed worktree branch mismatch even when the publish
branch and recorded branch pointed at the same commit and the worktree
was clean.

**Expected behavior**

Finalization should restore the recorded branch only when it can prove
the worktree is clean, registered, and the recorded branch points at the
current `HEAD`. If the actual branch has different commits or unsafe
state, finalization should continue to fail with bounded validation
evidence.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a runtime-managed `git_worktree` execution workspace for an
issue run.
2. During the adapter run, create and check out a new publish branch
without committing new changes.
3. Return adapter success and let heartbeat finalization run.
4. Before this change, finalization records a failed branch check and
fails the run even though the branches point at the same commit.
5. With this change, finalization records the repair operation, restores
the recorded branch, and records a successful finalize row.
6. Repeat with a commit on the publish branch; finalization still fails
because the branch heads differ.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against `master` at `bac7307ec`; fixed by this PR at
`64ec605cf`.

**Deployment mode**

Local dev / built from source.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

Not adapter-specific. This is core heartbeat/workspace finalization
behavior.

**Database mode**

Embedded test Postgres in the focused server test.

**Access context**

Agent run finalization.

**Node.js version**

`v25.6.1`

**Operating system**

`Darwin 24.6.0 arm64`

**Relevant logs or output**

The new focused test intentionally exercises both outcomes:

```text
Test Files  1 passed (1)
Tests       3 passed (3)
```

**Relevant config**

Runtime-created `git_worktree` execution workspace.

**Additional context**

The unsafe divergent branch case still fails with
`workspace_validation_failed` and `git_worktree_branch_incoherence`
evidence.

**Privacy checklist**

Reviewed; this description avoids internal task links, local workspace
paths, credentials, and instance-specific URLs.

## What Changed

- Reused the existing guarded branch-coherence repair helper during
heartbeat finalization when the final branch inspection finds clean
same-commit branch drift.
- Recorded repair metadata in the `workspace_finalize` operation so
reviewers/operators can audit whether finalization repaired branch
drift.
- Preserved failure behavior for divergent branch heads and surfaced the
bounded workspace validation evidence from the repair helper.
- Added focused server coverage for safe finalization repair and unsafe
divergent branch failure.
- Updated execution semantics docs to describe the narrower finalization
rule.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-finalize-branch.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `git diff --check`

## Risks

Low to medium risk. The change affects successful-run finalization for
runtime-created git worktree execution workspaces. The repair path is
constrained to clean, registered, same-commit branch drift, and the
focused test confirms divergent branch heads still fail instead of being
restored silently.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-based coding agent. Exact hosted model ID was not
exposed in the runtime; tool use and local shell execution were enabled.

d68c34f2cc Fix managed workspace branch coherence recovery (#8826)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Managed issue workspaces are part of the control-plane runtime
boundary: the server records which git worktree and branch an agent run
is allowed to use.
> - Existing reuse checks validated the worktree path and cleanliness,
but did not fully validate that the actual checked-out branch still
matched the recorded execution workspace branch.
> - That gap let an agent run switch a managed worktree onto a
publishing branch without updating the execution workspace record, then
later reuse or finalize the workspace as though it were coherent.
> - The runtime needs a bounded repair path for provably safe mismatches
and a hard validation failure for dirty, divergent, or unrecorded branch
transitions.
> - This pull request adds branch coherence to managed git worktree
validation, records explicit recovery evidence, and prevents finalize
success when a run silently changes branches.
> - The benefit is that branch drift becomes either safely repaired or
visibly recoverable instead of silently corrupting managed workspace
state.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this bug.

Bug report:

- What happened: a managed agent workspace could be recorded for one
branch while the underlying git worktree was actually checked out on
another branch. Reuse and finalization could still treat the workspace
as healthy.
- Expected behavior: managed git worktrees should verify the actual
branch against the recorded execution workspace branch. Safe same-HEAD
clean mismatches may be repaired, while dirty, divergent, or unrecorded
branch transitions should fail into explicit workspace validation
recovery.
- Reproduction outline: create a runtime-managed issue worktree, switch
its checkout to another branch without updating the execution workspace
record, then attempt reuse or run finalization.
- Deployment mode: local/self-hosted Paperclip server using managed git
workspaces.
- Related public work: Refs #7644 and #7579. Related but not duplicate:
#8275 and #5851.

## What Changed

- Added managed git worktree branch inspection, formatted validation
evidence, and safe same-HEAD repair logic to the workspace runtime
service.
- Validated recorded managed workspace branch state before reuse and
during heartbeat setup.
- Added finalization-time branch guards so runs that silently switch
branches fail with `workspace_validation_failed` instead of recording a
successful finalize.
- Added recovery fingerprints and evidence for
`git_worktree_branch_incoherence`, including manual-repair next actions
for unsafe branch drift.
- Documented branch coherence as part of runtime-created git worktree
workspace coherence.
- Added focused tests for safe branch repair, dirty/divergent recovery
evidence, heartbeat setup validation, and finalize failure/success
paths.

## Verification

- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-recovery-actions.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-finalize-branch.test.ts`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm test:run`
- `pnpm build`

Notes:

- An initial full `pnpm test:run` attempt hit a transient `socket hang
up` in one `plugin-routes-authz` case. The exact case passed when rerun
directly, the full `plugin-routes-authz` file passed, and the subsequent
full `pnpm test:run` passed.
- `pnpm build` still emits existing Vite CSS pseudo-element and
chunk-size warnings unrelated to this change.

## Risks

- This intentionally changes behavior for managed runs that switch
branches without recording the transition: they now fail during
workspace validation/finalization instead of silently proceeding.
- The automatic repair path is intentionally narrow. It only repairs
clean branch mismatches when both branches point at the same commit;
dirty or divergent worktrees require manual recovery.
- Recovery fingerprints now include workspace-validation evidence, so
duplicate recovery-action grouping is more precise for
branch-incoherence failures.
